8
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:32,440
Speaker 1: It's unfortunate it happens on a day. You know, Dan

9
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:34,599
Speaker 1: can't be here, but this happens once a year. Actually,

10
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 1: he's got a great Handsas family reunion and we're going

11
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:40,920
Speaker 1: to be hearing from them a little later. So and

12
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 1: we're happy he can be with this family, and we're

13
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 1: happy you can be here. And it's possible that the

14
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 1: whole hands His family has gathered around to watch the

16
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 1: your negative comments to yourself, so we'll say hello to them. Wes.

17
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 1: I like your shirt, Oh yeah, thank you. I've gotta

18
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 1: support Tabby Island and Hucka Poos after they survived the hurricane.

19
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:05,199
Speaker 1: Uh and it looks like a hurricane hit the island

20
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:08,120
Speaker 1: it's there's a lot of damage, but you know, you

21
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:11,040
Speaker 1: have to hand it to the mayor who got everyone prepared,

22
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 1: had fought for like the sandary nourishment and got the

23
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 1: beaches like after her after Hurricane Katrina. He really fought

24
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 1: to get ty be ready for it. My former roommate

25
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:23,760
Speaker 1: Jason Beltraman Tybee survived. Huckapoos was the place to be

26
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:26,199
Speaker 1: on Saturday, free pizza for all the people who stayed

27
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:30,119
Speaker 1: on the island. Wow, that's great. And Mark your parents were, Yeah, well,

28
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 1: my my parents lived just up the coast and they

29
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:36,399
Speaker 1: evacuated last Tuesday. I think thinking it would just be

30
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 1: you know, a couple of day or two away and

31
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 1: you know, in the middle of Georgian in a hotel.

32
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 1: They have not been back since you can't get on

33
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 1: Hilton Head Island at the point where they live. And uh,

34
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 1: they brought about two days worth of clothing. So it's

35
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 1: been slightly chaotic, but hopefully back to normal enough. I'm

36
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 1: glad they're okay. We're thinking about everybody who's been affected

37
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 1: by Hurricane Matthew and um hopefully maybe football helps in

38
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 1: times like this when you're going through it. So this

39
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 1: is the good thing. Your parents aren't Browns fans. Yes, well,

40
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 1: they're wise enough not to have ever gone down that road.

41
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 1: So I'm sorry. This is gonna be rough. All right.

42
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 1: It is the Sunday edition of the Around the NFL Podcast,

43
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 1: brought to you by Mr Flames Economics CLO, Mr Math.

44
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 1: We got you, all right. So let's start with the

45
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 1: game that everybody has been talking about basically since the

46
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 1: season began. Tom Brady, he's back and he returned, throwing

47
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,920
Speaker 1: for four hundred yards three touchdowns, three three of them

48
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 1: to Martellis Bennett no less, as the Patriots beat the

49
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 1: Browns thirty three to thirteen in Cleveland. So Rosie Brady

50
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 1: said that there was plenty of rust. Did you see it? No?

51
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:48,800
Speaker 1: I did not see a lot of rust. This looked

52
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 1: like mid season form Tom Brady. Right off the bat.

53
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,360
Speaker 1: You go down the field, score touchdown, score touchdown on

54
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 1: your first three uh drives. Basically perfect for the first

55
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 1: half until they got stuffed on the goal line and

56
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:05,919
Speaker 1: Mark made a smart move over the week weekend really

57
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 1: decided he didn't want to cover this game because he

58
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 1: thought it wasn't gonna go well for the Browns and

59
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 1: it would have been a tough one to watch for

60
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:13,639
Speaker 1: Browns fans, and I think it's got to get a

61
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:15,959
Speaker 1: lot of other teams in the a f C thinking

62
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 1: how do we match up with this team? That was

63
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 1: my takeaway, not so much Brady, but the return of

64
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:23,519
Speaker 1: the Gronk. Because when you got Gronk and martellis bet

65
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 1: it out there as your base package, Chris Hogan making

66
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 1: noise on the outside, how do you match up with

67
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:31,519
Speaker 1: those guys? You don't? And they didn't today. Yeah. I

68
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 1: mean there was a lot of rust on the field

69
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 1: and it was in a team wearing rust colored shirts,

70
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 1: pants and sucks. I mean, they look completely unprepared from

71
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 1: the first minute because I was I was watching this

72
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 1: on a side screen and Cleveland's you know, they have

73
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 1: a lot of Achilles heels, but one of their primary

74
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 1: ones is their secondary. And you could tell within five

75
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 1: minutes of this game opening that a Tom Brady was

76
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 1: absolutely scorching hot and on fire and ready to roll

77
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 1: and be Cleveland secondary was still somewhere up in Brie

78
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: on the practice field. Well, they don't have a path

79
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 1: as rush and they don't have a secondary. It's a

80
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,839
Speaker 1: bad it's a bad defense combination. That's that's done well

81
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 1: so far. But to me, watching the first drive of

82
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 1: the game, it's not so much Brady's back, it's Gronk

83
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 1: is back, because that seemed like a bigger question mark

84
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 1: to me. He is running over defenders, you know, frolicking

85
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 1: through the open field, kind of like he does in

86
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 1: his his best times. He's making great physical catches. He's

87
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 1: blocking well, uh he did that on a one of

88
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:32,160
Speaker 1: the touchdowns for Lagarrett Blunt, And to me, that makes

89
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 1: all the difference in the world. Having Gronk back, he's

90
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:37,040
Speaker 1: having fun. He looks like he's having fun, unlike Odell.

91
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 1: Can't wait a month. Maybe they'll get Dion Lewis back,

92
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 1: and then what our defense is gonna do? Yeah, yet

93
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,279
Speaker 1: another element to this. I think they could have average

94
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 1: game if that happens. Yeah. It was a reminder because

95
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,239
Speaker 1: after a while I've gotten used to watching Jacobey bricept

96
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,160
Speaker 1: for you know, two and a half games, like, Wow,

97
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 1: this team, it's not the same team that Brady left.

98
00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 1: The team that Brady left was not as explosive. They

99
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 1: eight struggled to push the ball down the field last year. Today,

100
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 1: I think he was four of six or five of

101
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 1: seven on throws that went over twenty yards in the air,

102
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 1: So that's two Gronk, that's to Hogan who had some

103
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,359
Speaker 1: deep plays down the field, and Bennett with the three touchdowns.

104
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 1: It Benett didn't even do that much. He was so

105
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 1: wide open because I think the attention is going elsewhere.

106
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:20,719
Speaker 1: It almost seemed like New England took their foot off

107
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 1: the gas, you know, you know, midway through this game.

108
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 1: But they could and they didn't have to go all out.

109
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,159
Speaker 1: But we're finally seeing you know, when they had Cronk

110
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 1: and Aaron Hernandez back in the day before Aaron Hernandez

111
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,919
Speaker 1: did a rather bad thing. Um, the idea of a

112
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:38,599
Speaker 1: two tight end under you know that just I'm underselling it.

113
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 1: But they have that two tight end situation now that

114
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:45,040
Speaker 1: is an impossible matchup for defense. Is this is what

115
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 1: Belichicks wanted for years. And the difference is these two

116
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 1: tight ends you both really have to respect as blockers,

117
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,479
Speaker 1: so you don't know if they're going out on a

118
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 1: route on any given down. And I think that just

119
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:58,480
Speaker 1: makes it so tough for the defense to figure out

120
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:02,480
Speaker 1: who to cover. Day ends. A whole regression thing for

121
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 1: Tom Brady not starting out very well, Tom Brady today

122
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 1: joined Warren Moon is the only quarterback ever aged thirty

123
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 1: nine or older with three touchdowns and yards in a game. Well,

124
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 1: he he was playing the Browns and he was protected well,

125
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 1: and that that's all fine, But the Browns are an

126
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,159
Speaker 1: NFL team, and he had one of the best games

127
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,480
Speaker 1: I've seen from any quarterback this year. According to you,

128
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 1: that's fair to say. But also, Tom Brady, I'm saying,

129
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 1: according to you, the Browns look like an n team

130
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 1: right now. They have a ways to go. In my book, Well,

131
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 1: I feel bad for the Browns. Cody Kesler went through

132
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 1: quarterbacks Cody Kessler, Charlie Whitehurst, and then they had to

133
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,359
Speaker 1: put Terrell Prior in there. Well, they're not. It's the opposite.

134
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 1: They're not protecting their quarterback the same way. No, and

135
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 1: Kessler's injury, uh came on a play where they blitzed

136
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:49,719
Speaker 1: Dante Hie Tower, who made some big plays early in

137
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 1: the game. He didn't recognize he throws it backwards for

138
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 1: a safety. It was a disastrous play. And I think

139
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 1: Kessler's played well in the first few weeks. So it's

140
00:06:56,920 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 1: disappointed because the minute Charlie Whitehurst entered the game, it

141
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 1: was kind of like, Okay, you can't run any sort

142
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 1: of offense. Kesser had a touchdown drive that to make

143
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,600
Speaker 1: the game seven seven at one point. But I think

144
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 1: they're they're kind of cooked in terms of watching them

145
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 1: as a real NFL team if Whitehurst is starting. Malcolm

146
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 1: Brown had a great game today too. He had two sacks.

147
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 1: I think in that game, Yeah, I think, what did

148
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 1: you see out of Malcolm Brown? Gregg Well? He he

149
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 1: played well against the run. They they decided to try

150
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 1: to stop Isaiah crow Well. He had two sacks. Crowell

151
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 1: and Duke Johnson entered this game as the leading you

152
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 1: know rushers in the league in terms of yards per carry,

153
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 1: and they combined for seven teen rushes for twenty three yards.

154
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 1: So they needed it. That the Patriots defense has been

155
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say up and down, but they got good

156
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 1: performances out of Brown and high Tower today. Though. One

157
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 1: of the most interesting tweets I saw today was from

158
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:49,679
Speaker 1: NFL Networks Courtney Fallon, who said she had a Brown

159
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 1: source who told her that Terrell Prior is the only

160
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 1: untouchable player on the roster and that's who they're building around.

161
00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 1: They'll trade all pros like Joe Thomas, but they trade

162
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 1: Drell Prior. Well, they were willing to trade Thomas last year,

163
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 1: and I think that they didn't want to do that

164
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 1: going into this year without an acceptable back up to him.

165
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 1: But he's been on the market for the right price

166
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 1: for a long time. And if you're gonna, if you're

167
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 1: willing to part with Joe Thomas, well they've talked about

168
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 1: other all pro what other Who else are we talking

169
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 1: about here? Joe Joe Hayden in theory, So yeah, you're

170
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 1: willing to trade anyone, probably about your rookie class. It's

171
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 1: not that much of a shock to me that Terrell

172
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 1: Prior has no from Prior from Prior. From the prior angle, yes,

173
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 1: but that's the rest of the roster. That's the only

174
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 1: angle I found interesting that Darrell Prior is gone from

175
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:35,560
Speaker 1: a guy that nobody in the league wanted to a

176
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 1: guy Hugh Jackson brought in personally and made a centerpiece

177
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 1: of the row. Well, he was here last year, he

178
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 1: was in Cleveland last year, to be honest, but Hill,

179
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:45,320
Speaker 1: Hugh Jackson knows him and he's developed him. How how's

180
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 1: week five now of the all raw foods diet until

181
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 1: the Browns win a game. How are you feeling, Mark?

182
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:56,319
Speaker 1: And now that you look well five and Kessler's hurt? Now,

183
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 1: how are you? I feel okay, which is, uh, you know,

184
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 1: I'm pretty because this is going to go on deep

185
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 1: into the winner potentially. So wow, it's gonna be a

186
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 1: long winter. Yes it is. But we're right here with you.

187
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:10,200
Speaker 1: All right, let's move on. Here's your raw foods diet

188
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 1: taking you to weird places mentally, because sometimes when you

189
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 1: change your diet or you know, most religious gurus go

190
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,199
Speaker 1: through some weird phase where they're deprived of food for

191
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 1: a while. Well, I'm not a religious guru, so let's

192
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 1: start there. Um, But no, I feel fine. I mean

193
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 1: I've dabbled in this in the past, so well I

194
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:28,559
Speaker 1: thought maybe it would send you down the religious guru route.

195
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 1: No it will not, Okay, thank you for asking. Okay,

196
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 1: well that's settled. How about Cincinnati and Dallas Ezekiel Elliott Fever.

197
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 1: It's spreading the Cowboys rookie running background for one four

198
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:43,079
Speaker 1: yards and two touchdowns. That's an eight point nine yards

199
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:46,440
Speaker 1: per carry average in fourteen win over the Bengals to

200
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 1: move to four and one. So Mark, there's two rookies

201
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 1: here that look electric still absolutely I mean Ezekiel Elliott

202
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:57,679
Speaker 1: and rookie quarterback Dak Prescott have been today. I think

203
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 1: was an absolutely sensational perform by both. And minutes into

204
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 1: the game, first drive for the Cowboys, they marched right

205
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 1: down the field, rip about five plus minutes off the

206
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 1: clock and Elliott has forty two yards in an excellent

207
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,439
Speaker 1: touchdown run and you knew right there that the tone

208
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 1: was set. Finishes with a hundred and thirty four yards

209
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 1: on the day. And it's the same thing we talked

210
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 1: about last week. Elliott gets stronger as the game goes on.

211
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 1: He's much more decisive than he was in Week one,

212
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,439
Speaker 1: and he's running behind one of the best lines in football,

213
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:27,959
Speaker 1: if not the best line, and it showed they got it.

214
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 1: This was the worst Bengals game we've seen in years.

215
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:32,599
Speaker 1: I did not expect it to come out this I

216
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:34,679
Speaker 1: did not see it coming this way either, but they

217
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:36,960
Speaker 1: got They got down early and there was no way

218
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:38,960
Speaker 1: for them to get back in. The Bengals are missing,

219
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 1: you know, the players they let go in free agency.

220
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 1: And with this second half run, when Ezekiel Elliott blasted

221
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:47,320
Speaker 1: for this touchdown, this was the end of this game,

222
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:51,840
Speaker 1: play at Sydney Center. Set Elliott come all right, fifty

223
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 1: yard line, prove he's going and down seeked Elliott locked

224
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 1: all of ang That is our friend Brad Sham at

225
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 1: kr LD and Dallas and Big d And you know,

226
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 1: here's the thing with Elliott and the Cowboys. They right

227
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 1: now lead the league and drives of five plus minutes,

228
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 1: and they lead the league and drives of ten plus plays.

229
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 1: So there's nothing flukey happening here. Like the Cowboys team

230
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 1: that West that you talked about in the off season

231
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:26,840
Speaker 1: where they wanted to be like they were in two

232
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 1: thousand fourteen. It took a little bit of time for

233
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 1: that to develop, but it is happening and it came

234
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 1: into full bloom today. We got West out of his

235
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 1: seat three or four times to come watch a sequel Elliott. Look,

236
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 1: he's on pace for seven hundred and fifty rushing yards,

237
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 1: which is the second most of all time, better than

238
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 1: Earl Campbell, better than Adrian Peterson as a rookie. This

239
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 1: is rare, rare territory that he's going through. They they

240
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:54,320
Speaker 1: dictate at the start of each and every game. It's

241
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:56,680
Speaker 1: crazy that they've been able to do that five straight

242
00:11:56,720 --> 00:12:00,560
Speaker 1: weeks with rookies at quarterback and running back, that they

243
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 1: in the first twenty minutes of every game, the first

244
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 1: twenty minutes of game time, they say, this is what

245
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 1: we're gonna do, and they do it and and it.

246
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 1: And I know that Tony Roma discussion is seems crazy,

247
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 1: but every game like this, but the way that Dak

248
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 1: Prescott is playing, at least they can just wait and

249
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 1: see and like and be careful about bringing Roma back

250
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 1: because Dak Prescott is playing at a level you just

251
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 1: don't see rookies playing well. He's He's a hundred and

252
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:26,679
Speaker 1: fifty plus passes without a pick. He did have his

253
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 1: first turnover of the whole year today with a lost fumble.

254
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 1: But really, honestly, the fact that this game does not

255
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 1: do service in terms of explaining how poor the Bengals,

256
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 1: you know, dealt with this early lead, the early deficits

257
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 1: they fell into, They had no way out and Green

258
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 1: was shut down absolutely. Green was essentially erased. Had one

259
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 1: catch for nine yards in the first half. Mo Claiborne

260
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 1: had a couple penalties in this game, but he is

261
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 1: playing the best football of his entire career. That secondary

262
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:57,680
Speaker 1: wanted this more than the Bengals offense wanted it. Wrote

263
00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 1: about Mo claiborne last week about guys coming from Patel

264
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 1: attendant tears, he and Jimmy Graham and Victor Cruze. But

265
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 1: mot claiborne has the lowest completion percentage against of any

266
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 1: quarter cornerback in the NFL. I guess it goes to

267
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 1: show that some of these cornerbacks that are drafted high

268
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:14,079
Speaker 1: that we expect to shine right away. I mean, he

269
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:15,959
Speaker 1: went through a lot of off field stuff and on

270
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 1: field stuff, and it took a long long time, right

271
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:21,560
Speaker 1: four or five years of it. They're getting in now.

272
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:23,599
Speaker 1: It's not with the timeline they thought. But this I

273
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:25,959
Speaker 1: mean the Bengals. The Bengals listen. They have to go

274
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 1: play New England next. They are two and three, and

275
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 1: I this is not a team that looks to me

276
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:33,839
Speaker 1: to have any of the chemistry of last year. And

277
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:37,079
Speaker 1: you've lost Marvin Jones, you've lost most a new you've

278
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 1: lost Hugh Jackson calling plays. At some point these losses

279
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 1: start to add up. Yeah, and it's got to be

280
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 1: tough for Andy Dalton right now trying to make this

281
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:46,680
Speaker 1: work and thinking that he was going to be able

282
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 1: to do that coming into this year and just not

283
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:52,599
Speaker 1: having those guys. They're not having Hugh there. It's so

284
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:55,679
Speaker 1: it's just really affecting them. And it's really sad kind

285
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 1: of because last year I feel like that was their

286
00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 1: window to go far. Yeah. Yeah, I think Wesselman um

287
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 1: West of Us could be in jeopardy this year. West

288
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:08,959
Speaker 1: the best of course for new listeners. Your annual holiday

289
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:12,600
Speaker 1: where you celebrate the Bengals first round defeat and well,

290
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:14,559
Speaker 1: it is an annual thing where the Bengals lose on

291
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 1: the first weekend of the playoffs. That's true. It's a

292
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 1: great holiday. Well, maybe we can replace it with something else,

293
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 1: like maybe you can put your hoop earring back in.

294
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, I forgot about before the show even started.

295
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 1: The biggest breaking news of the day not not injury related,

296
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 1: no upsets, It was that West once had an earring

297
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 1: a hoop area Hooper had an earring from about three

298
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 1: to nine seven. I went to an interview at a

299
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 1: law firm in Cincinnati, and the lady hired me and said,

300
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna hire you, but let me give you some advice.

301
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 1: Never ever wear that earring to an interview. Probably the

302
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 1: best advice that you've ever received as a human. It

303
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 1: was good. I wasn't much different person at that point

304
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 1: in my life one, but they never really close up,

305
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 1: so you could still still have a little hole area.

306
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 1: I just can't even about Wesley, and of all people,

307
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 1: who is not one too, I don't know, put on

308
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 1: airs or be too you know, concerned about like, you know,

309
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 1: looking cool or whatever. Just rocking the hoop area, and

310
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 1: I love it. I was rocking a lot of stuff

311
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 1: back then. This is a whole new West's. It's almost

312
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 1: as in my Malman days, with my backwards hat and

313
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 1: the earring and the and the Mike Tyson boots and

314
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 1: shirt sleeves rolled up too much. We're gonna get some

315
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 1: photoshop work from a couple of listeners. That all right,

316
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 1: Let's move on to Denver and Atlanta. The high flying

317
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 1: Falcons went into Denver to face the toughest defense they've

318
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 1: seen thus far, and handed the Broncos their first loss

319
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 1: of the year. West, is it time to buy the

320
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 1: Falcons for real? Oh? I think it was time to

321
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 1: buy the Falcons before this game. But if you needed

322
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 1: convincing that they would beat a good defense, Finally they

323
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 1: just beat the best defense in the NFL, and they

324
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 1: did it by using Tevin Coleman in DeVante Freeman in

325
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 1: space with miss mismatches against Broncos inside linebackers. And let's

326
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 1: listen to West Durham of w z g C the game.

327
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 1: On this one, Ryan Field three to the left, tight

328
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 1: end and receiver to the right that takes a snap.

329
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 1: Denver brings four. Ryan gonna cut it in the middle

330
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 1: of the field. There is Coleman in the end zone,

331
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 1: touched down at Lada. I'm a number two, stepped up

332
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 1: and just slung that Jesse in there. Jesse, I like

333
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 1: that in there. We don't pre listen to these, so

334
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 1: that was a surprise to us. Jesse. Yeah, Ryan was

335
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 1: throwing the Jesse around to his running backs. We're gonna

336
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 1: have to start using it that way. Tevin Coleman is

337
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 1: too fast for linebackers. You cannot cover him. And last

338
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 1: year when you took Julio Jones out of the game,

339
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 1: the whole offense sputtered. This year a different story. They

340
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 1: have the best complimentary backfield in the NFL right now,

341
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 1: over a thousand yards from scrimmage between the two of

342
00:16:56,880 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 1: them this year already in five games. Freeman, it's you know,

343
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 1: one of the the best, if not the best running

344
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 1: backs in the league. I think on early downs he's

345
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 1: been so good this year. And then to have told

346
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 1: Tevin Coleman this is the second game like this where

347
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:13,399
Speaker 1: Coleman makes all of his bones as a receiver. If

348
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 1: if you think about everyone talked about what they've added

349
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:17,960
Speaker 1: weapons and now they're spreading the ball around. I mean,

350
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 1: the biggest weapon they added, Mohammed Sanu is on pace

351
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 1: for about five hundred yards. They have really taken some

352
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:26,440
Speaker 1: guys other people didn't want, and they've taken the guys

353
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 1: that are there mostly and made them an explosive offense

354
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:32,639
Speaker 1: even in Denver. Well, I think they go hand in

355
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:36,120
Speaker 1: hand that the new acquisition and picking up Taylor Gabriel

356
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 1: and Aldrick Robinson and Austin Hooper. You can't concentrate on

357
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:42,480
Speaker 1: Tevin Corey. You have to use a linebacker on him.

358
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:44,679
Speaker 1: You can't use the safety or a cornerback because they

359
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 1: have all these other weapons. Julio Jones after the game

360
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 1: said he was doubled the whole game, and he said

361
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:51,679
Speaker 1: he's fine with that because that means guys are going

362
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:53,640
Speaker 1: to get their numbers. I'm still going to have those

363
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 1: games where he explodes too, no matter what. Matt Ryan

364
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 1: missed two downfield throws to him when Julio was open,

365
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 1: and Chris Harris was kind of tugging on his jersey

366
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 1: most of the game too. Yeah, they can use him

367
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:06,120
Speaker 1: now as a decoy because they have all these other guys.

368
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:09,439
Speaker 1: But I think two year two in Kyle Shannahan's system,

369
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:12,440
Speaker 1: we are kind of seeing them gel a little bit more.

370
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 1: Plus with all of the new weapons, It's just it

371
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 1: works so well for them. On the defensive side of things,

372
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:22,159
Speaker 1: Vic Beasley, that was a tie Sombrello issue for the Broncos. Ye,

373
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:26,159
Speaker 1: they're starting right tackle Donald Stephen Stevenson was out. Sombrelo,

374
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:28,360
Speaker 1: who may or may not have been injured and trying

375
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 1: to fight through an injury. Looked like he went to

376
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 1: crawl inside of his helmet in the third quarter when

377
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:35,359
Speaker 1: Beasley beat him for the third time and two of

378
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:38,440
Speaker 1: those were forced fumbles, and then they pulled Simbrello saim

379
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:42,560
Speaker 1: Michael Scofield out and it was the same result. Another

380
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:44,880
Speaker 1: stack for I mean, do you feel like obviously Atlanta

381
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 1: and what we've seen four and one totally fine, reasonable

382
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:50,480
Speaker 1: record for them. They are one of the most exciting

383
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 1: offenses you know of any team in one we've seen

384
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 1: in a while. But they did face Paxton Lynch, who

385
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 1: had sounded like talking to the game he was not

386
00:18:57,640 --> 00:18:59,440
Speaker 1: This was the guy was not ready for action today.

387
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:02,200
Speaker 1: Every thing we had seen out of him in the

388
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:05,960
Speaker 1: preseason suggested that his physical tools might be able to

389
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:10,200
Speaker 1: overcome whatever he was missing fundamentally. Uh, today was a

390
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:14,239
Speaker 1: pretty dispiriting game for anybody who wanted him to um

391
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:17,920
Speaker 1: unseen Trevor Simeon at some point this season. He was

392
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 1: inaccurate early, it was high and then what I think

393
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:24,600
Speaker 1: the most disturbing part was that with Vick Beasley crash

394
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 1: in that pocket, he you started to see him see

395
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:29,359
Speaker 1: he was seeing ghosts in the pocket. He was taking

396
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:31,920
Speaker 1: off a little too early to run, and I think

397
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:35,880
Speaker 1: that was a little disturbing. But this is Trevor Simeon's offense. Well.

398
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 1: I read something about Simeon's injury and he said after

399
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:42,680
Speaker 1: the game he felt like he was pretty close to plane.

400
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:44,959
Speaker 1: There was some thought in Denver they have a Thursday

401
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:49,360
Speaker 1: night game in San Diego, maybe if Simeon's gonna play

402
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 1: one of those games, certainly you would wait for the

403
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 1: second one. Maybe let's see how Paxton Lynch does. Let's

404
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:57,200
Speaker 1: not push the issue and we have Simeon there. We

405
00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:00,400
Speaker 1: don't want him starting twice in five days. I would

406
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:03,359
Speaker 1: not be surprised if he's back starting in San Diego.

407
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:05,560
Speaker 1: As they tried to bounce back on Thursday night, the

408
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:08,920
Speaker 1: Broncos had much higher expectations for Paxiston Lynch against a

409
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 1: bad Atlanta Falcons defense, and before the game, Gary Kubiak

410
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 1: told their broadcast crew, We're gonna have the full playbook.

411
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 1: We're gonna We're not gonna throw anything out of our offense.

412
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 1: We're gonna run our offense with Paxton Lynch, and it

413
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 1: just didn't work out well. It seems like they also

414
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 1: had higher hopes going into the game for c. J.

415
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:27,679
Speaker 1: Anderson and DeVante Booker, and it seems like they had

416
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 1: a very equal workload. I wonder if things are changing

417
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:32,440
Speaker 1: in that backfield a little bit. They wanted to run

418
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 1: the ball. That was their goal to establish the run

419
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 1: because they had struggled in the previous two games. They

420
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 1: got behind so early that they kind of had to

421
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:41,119
Speaker 1: abandon in the running game. But they wanted to get

422
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:44,879
Speaker 1: Davante Booker more involved. Kubiak told the broadcast crew that

423
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:47,480
Speaker 1: they thought he had fresh legs and could inject life

424
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 1: into the running games. So you might see a little

425
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 1: bit more of him on Thursday night. Yeah, and Matt Ryan,

426
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 1: I guess he's still in the MVP discussion. Well, we

427
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 1: don't need a weekly update, do we. It's week This

428
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:01,879
Speaker 1: is the week five on Matt Ryan and the m

429
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:05,360
Speaker 1: v P people are asking for this. Everybody wants to know. Yes,

430
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:08,360
Speaker 1: for everybody on periscope, that's for you, all right. If

431
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 1: not for his last past attempt of the game, he

432
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:14,359
Speaker 1: would have been the first quarterback with a rating on

433
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:17,239
Speaker 1: that Broncos defense in thirty games. It's been it's been

434
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 1: When was the last time they last what it was

435
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 1: against the Bengals late last season. I mean this has

436
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 1: been on. It's been a while since anyone's made any

437
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 1: noise against this defense. Kyle Shanahan out Shanahan, Gary Kubiak,

438
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 1: I was really surprised. Assistant Coach of the Year Kyl

439
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:35,920
Speaker 1: Shanahan still some candidates A little too early for me

440
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,120
Speaker 1: to decide. We saw what the Falcons did early last year.

441
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 1: I want to see him do it all season long.

442
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 1: But yes, he's gotta be up there marion Elli for

443
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:47,680
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. Yes, how about Mike? Who is Mike Shanahan

444
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:49,240
Speaker 1: rooting for in this game? You know he lives in

445
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:52,159
Speaker 1: Denver's got the ties there, Couby. I would imagine his

446
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 1: son would think that the person that is his family,

447
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 1: his child. I mean, as my mom always says, he

448
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:02,560
Speaker 1: can't trust anybody, not in your own mother. So maybe not,

449
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 1: Maybe it's not afect. Mike Shanahan seems super trustworthy to me.

450
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:09,679
Speaker 1: I like that you share the same information with us

451
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 1: that you do with your therapists. Yes, well this is

452
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:14,720
Speaker 1: basically a therapy session for me, so thank you guys.

453
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:17,640
Speaker 1: Let's move on to Pittsburgh and the Jets. Of Steelers

454
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:20,399
Speaker 1: carried over their dominant performance from last week to crush

455
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:23,040
Speaker 1: the Jets in a thirty one to thirteen route at

456
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 1: Hines Field. Sammy Coates had a career high six catches

457
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 1: for one thirty nine yards two scores to help send

458
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:34,160
Speaker 1: the Jets to one and four. So usually Dan has

459
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 1: his dad call and leave him a voicemail about his

460
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:40,560
Speaker 1: analysis of the game, but since Dan is not here, uh,

461
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 1: Dan's dad called me and left the voicemail. Yeah, me

462
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:47,399
Speaker 1: and Keith, we kind of we've been talking a little bit. Um.

463
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:50,960
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to pick his brain about Dan and

464
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 1: you know, learn a little bit more about where Dan

465
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:58,399
Speaker 1: came from. So so now have expected direction. Yes, the

466
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:04,920
Speaker 1: analysis of Keith Kansas on the Jets. His name is Keith.

467
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:09,880
Speaker 1: His dad's dad Bill. Doubt about it. He's a big

468
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 1: Jets fan. What is he going to say? Will happen

469
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 1: game today? What is he going to will happen game today?

470
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 1: Week five? Another terrible defensive effort by the Jets defense.

471
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:28,240
Speaker 1: The front four put absolutely no pressure on Big Ben

472
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 1: and he torched the Jet defense where the backfield once

473
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:35,800
Speaker 1: again mysteriously when he was not covering anybody that were

474
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:38,680
Speaker 1: wide open. Big play I thought in the game, which

475
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:42,120
Speaker 1: is still a mystery to me, is the seven thirty

476
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:45,680
Speaker 1: two left and fourth and one bulls sized the punt?

477
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:49,480
Speaker 1: I have to question that is then the Jets aren't

478
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:53,480
Speaker 1: bad enough to be embarrassing, not good enough to be interesting.

479
00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:57,800
Speaker 1: It just exists to you. Next year you're gonna go

480
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 1: get through a little worried about Dan. Yeah, it's Keith.

481
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:08,919
Speaker 1: I think that their um, their tone appropriately sums up

482
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:10,960
Speaker 1: you know the game that I was watching out of

483
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 1: the corner of my eye as well, and they nailed it.

484
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:15,920
Speaker 1: That that punt. That decision to go for the punt

485
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:19,520
Speaker 1: there was certainly maddening to Jets fans and and just

486
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:22,239
Speaker 1: as much so was the fact that New York has

487
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:26,200
Speaker 1: to so overcompensate for it's you know, tendency to get

488
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 1: burnt deep, that big pockets of space were open underneath

489
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:31,639
Speaker 1: and Big Ben. You know, when you give that to

490
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 1: Big Ben, we know what's gonna happen. He used Levy

491
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 1: on Belly, used other receivers just to kind of you know,

492
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:40,040
Speaker 1: throw short, some shorter and intermediate passes that picked up

493
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:42,640
Speaker 1: big real estate. And when that wasn't happening, Sammy Coates,

494
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 1: who had some bad drops in this game, also had

495
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:47,240
Speaker 1: some huge plays, including a big touchdown out of the

496
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 1: gate that you know, the Jets were in this thing

497
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:51,480
Speaker 1: and it got away from them towards the end because

498
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 1: I think they just couldn't hang. This is not the

499
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:56,439
Speaker 1: Jets offensive last season. The loss of Eric Decker stings well.

500
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:58,880
Speaker 1: They've had no shows in three straight second halfs where

501
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:01,000
Speaker 1: they've just been blown out of the water. And they

502
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:03,880
Speaker 1: basically haven't scored on offense, and you have a defensive

503
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:08,120
Speaker 1: coach who wants to coach to a defense that's better

504
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:11,000
Speaker 1: in his head, I think than it really is on paper.

505
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:13,480
Speaker 1: I mean, they punted. It wasn't just that one punt

506
00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter. They punted five different times on

507
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:19,400
Speaker 1: fourth and short during this game. Now, some of those

508
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 1: are situations where it would be very surprising if you

509
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:24,800
Speaker 1: go for it, But it's just they don't have confidence

510
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:27,560
Speaker 1: I don't think in their offensive line, um, you know,

511
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 1: or their offense in general to go for it in

512
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:33,719
Speaker 1: those situations. The Jets defense is the bizarro Broncos. They

513
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:37,880
Speaker 1: have allowed a one passer radying in every game this year. Well,

514
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,719
Speaker 1: note that they did as advertised, you know, they clamped

515
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:42,320
Speaker 1: down on the run to some degree, but that short

516
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:44,880
Speaker 1: passing game was the run. I mean, Levi on Bell

517
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:47,159
Speaker 1: had nine catches for eighty eight yards. It was just

518
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:49,639
Speaker 1: easy to kind of figure out how to move the

519
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:52,119
Speaker 1: ball on New York as the game went on with Sammy,

520
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 1: coach said after the game that his drops were he

521
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 1: had his hand was numb because cut in cut. He

522
00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:00,440
Speaker 1: was wearing big gloves, so he was able to have

523
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 1: this monster day because that the Steelers deep threat opposite

524
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown with Levi on Bell underneath has to be

525
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:10,320
Speaker 1: one of the cushiest jobs in the world, as Martavis

526
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:13,080
Speaker 1: Brant found out last year with Big Ben throwing accurate

527
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 1: downfield strikes all the time. But those guys have those

528
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:19,880
Speaker 1: two guys have special speed. I mean Sammy Coats when

529
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:21,639
Speaker 1: he is flying up the sideline, maybe he's a one

530
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 1: trick pony like Tory Smith used to, but who cares.

531
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 1: That's what they need is one trick to be when

532
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:29,320
Speaker 1: he when he flew past Marcus Peters for instance, last week,

533
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:32,440
Speaker 1: it's like bam. I mean, he makes Peters look slow

534
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:34,639
Speaker 1: and Peters affect the same thing. They even get big

535
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:37,280
Speaker 1: plays out of Darius Hey. We're big. Yes, that's one

536
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:39,959
Speaker 1: of the most surprising things about it. It's a cushy

537
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:42,359
Speaker 1: job being the deep threat to the Steelers. Connor or

538
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:45,639
Speaker 1: Uh in the rankings, he said that the Steelers are

539
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:49,200
Speaker 1: the best team in the league after this performance doesn't

540
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:51,679
Speaker 1: move them at all for you guys, sure, I mean

541
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:53,240
Speaker 1: they're right in there. They were. I think that they

542
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 1: were like my third or four team to begin with

543
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,760
Speaker 1: that there, I don't think they are better football team

544
00:26:57,800 --> 00:26:59,920
Speaker 1: than the New England Patriots because we'll still see that

545
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:03,919
Speaker 1: um implode occasionally, but peaks Steelers when they're playing as

546
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:06,880
Speaker 1: well as they can. We've I've we've all rid said

547
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 1: this thing over and over. If the Steelers got hot

548
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, they could beat anyone. They nearly beat

549
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:14,840
Speaker 1: Denver last year without Antonio Brown. Connor thinks they have

550
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 1: a higher ceiling than the Patriots because of their star power.

551
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:19,720
Speaker 1: I would argue the other way. The Patriots have a harder,

552
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:22,320
Speaker 1: higher ceiling because of their own star power. But they're

553
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 1: They're right there, and the Stea and the Seahawks are

554
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:26,840
Speaker 1: right there for me too so far this season. But

555
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:29,400
Speaker 1: why about the Broncos with Simeon and and I think

556
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:32,639
Speaker 1: the Broncos are right there too. I think the Steeler

557
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 1: we'll see. I want to see the Steelers shut down

558
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:38,879
Speaker 1: a good offense that Eagles game. Maybe it was just

559
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:41,200
Speaker 1: an anomaly, but they don't have a great pass rush

560
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:43,760
Speaker 1: this year. But they certainly have clamped down the last

561
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:45,720
Speaker 1: two weeks and have some things working for them. They're

562
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:48,639
Speaker 1: a little healthier now. Their best defensive player get a

563
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 1: hamstring injury. Cameron Heyward and Ryan Shays has been battling

564
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 1: a knee injury too, so those injuries could be huge

565
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:56,600
Speaker 1: for them. Yeah, it's brutal though for the Jets when

566
00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:59,280
Speaker 1: you look at chan Gailey and what he had last

567
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 1: year and all the pieces really seemed to fit together,

568
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:05,200
Speaker 1: and then all off season everybody all they wanted was

569
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:07,879
Speaker 1: Ryan Fitzpatrick and now he's here and it's just not

570
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:11,960
Speaker 1: at And one of the reasons that I think, you know,

571
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 1: Dan is also upset about the Jets is that you

572
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:17,800
Speaker 1: needed to get that win in Week one and home

573
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 1: against the Bengals, and you needed to just knock off,

574
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 1: you know, a couple of these other teams. Now you've

575
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:25,280
Speaker 1: lost to the Seahawks and Steelers, you have the Cardinals

576
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:29,159
Speaker 1: and Ravens next, and it doesn't really ease up at

577
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:31,000
Speaker 1: the back end of the schedule either. So I don't

578
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:32,560
Speaker 1: know how they claim you're in the Hall, and I

579
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:36,200
Speaker 1: think it's he he said, we're not that interesting. I

580
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 1: think part of it is like you have Ryan Fitzpatrick

581
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 1: as your quarterback, Matt Forties as you're running back. You know,

582
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 1: your stars on the defensive line. Leonard Williams is exciting,

583
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:49,320
Speaker 1: but Wilkerson and is making a huge impact this year.

584
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:51,760
Speaker 1: I think it's just like, what can we get excited about?

585
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:53,440
Speaker 1: This isn't a fun team to watch right now. This

586
00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:55,640
Speaker 1: might be the end of reevs with the Jets, and

587
00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:58,360
Speaker 1: we saw what they could be that Thursday night game.

588
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:00,800
Speaker 1: They that offense was so much fun to watch. The

589
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 1: Decker is gone and we don't know when we'll see

590
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:05,200
Speaker 1: him again. Did you guys think that was one of

591
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:09,480
Speaker 1: the weirdest postgame quotes of the year? Brandon Marshall, this

592
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:12,120
Speaker 1: is the first perfect position for us. He says, it's

593
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 1: weird because there weren't were one and four. The media

594
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:16,160
Speaker 1: will get all over us, but this is the perfect

595
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 1: position for It's it's a weird quote, but I think

596
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 1: that he's he's like part media person, part athlete. But

597
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 1: athletes have to think this way. When you get down,

598
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 1: you have to think about this is an opportunity to

599
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:29,600
Speaker 1: climb out and it's not. You're not gonna get the

600
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:34,560
Speaker 1: most realistic chat. It was almost too choreographed, like, hey,

601
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:37,720
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be the guy that's positive after a loss.

602
00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:39,400
Speaker 1: I mean, there literally is a moment if you see

603
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:41,680
Speaker 1: the video when he says we're gonna turn this thing around.

604
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:44,240
Speaker 1: And he goes whoa, and he starts clapping and stuff,

605
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:47,880
Speaker 1: and it's like, all right, yeah. I think his teammates

606
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 1: probably think that way too, like this is a little

607
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:52,880
Speaker 1: bit of false bravado here and this guy, that guy

608
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:54,520
Speaker 1: has worked his way out of how many locker rooms

609
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 1: in around the league. Maybe he's trying to be like, Okay,

610
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,200
Speaker 1: we're going to be the underdogs here and we're gonna

611
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:04,920
Speaker 1: be the comeback kids that everybody roots for. And I

612
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:07,880
Speaker 1: don't know whatever, but little scripted we'll see it sounds

613
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:11,440
Speaker 1: I am buying in. Let's move to the Eagles. The

614
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 1: Eagles and Carson rookie Carson Wentz tried to stay perfect

615
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 1: as they traveled to Detroit for the Jim Schwartz revenge game. Sligh, though,

616
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 1: had other plans, forcing it too pivotal turnovers in a

617
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:27,880
Speaker 1: one point come from behind when for the Lions West.

618
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 1: That was a crushing interception that Carson Wentz through at

619
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:33,520
Speaker 1: the end of that game, not least of which because

620
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:35,800
Speaker 1: it was a perfect throw, it was a great pin

621
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:38,520
Speaker 1: point his receiver should have made the play instead of

622
00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:40,640
Speaker 1: allowing the defensive back to make the play. It was

623
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:43,960
Speaker 1: an awesome throw and Darius like deserves credit for making

624
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:47,720
Speaker 1: the play because Nelson Aghilor just let him have it. Yeah,

625
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:51,760
Speaker 1: this game it When I was watching it, Carson wentz,

626
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:54,800
Speaker 1: I kept thinking the interception is going to come. It

627
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:56,680
Speaker 1: has to come at some point. So in a way,

628
00:30:56,840 --> 00:31:00,400
Speaker 1: I'm glad that he threw it, and it's awful. It's

629
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:02,720
Speaker 1: sort of like a Brandon Marshall thing, like maybe this

630
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:04,880
Speaker 1: was the best thing that could have happened for them,

631
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:07,320
Speaker 1: Like it came at a really bad time. They lost

632
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 1: the game because of it. But now he's ripped off

633
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:12,480
Speaker 1: the band aid and you know he can move on.

634
00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:15,440
Speaker 1: I think, I mean it's this had This is Carson

635
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:17,520
Speaker 1: went through that pick. But he also is the reason

636
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:19,760
Speaker 1: that they've been in all these games. He's been a

637
00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:22,400
Speaker 1: nearly perfect quarterback for what he was from a rookie.

638
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 1: He was dynamite again, you know the pick aside, he

639
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:29,480
Speaker 1: was dynamite. So every time I looked up, they were dropping. Yeah,

640
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:33,480
Speaker 1: he is not high on that list. They lost in

641
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:35,840
Speaker 1: spite of him, and you we have not had a

642
00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 1: chance to talk to you about this, but this is

643
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:39,480
Speaker 1: the quarterback that in my you know, when I want

644
00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:42,000
Speaker 1: to enter into a darker place. It should be Cleveland's quarterback,

645
00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:44,200
Speaker 1: but he's yours, and it's an Also, that's a that's

646
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:46,680
Speaker 1: a roughed up fan base. So I'm not unhappy that

647
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:48,800
Speaker 1: happened to the Eagles of any team. But how are

648
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:51,080
Speaker 1: you got to be feeling a little bit less doom

649
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:53,360
Speaker 1: and gloom now that this, you know, big ball of

650
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:55,920
Speaker 1: sunshines come into your life to save the city of

651
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:58,640
Speaker 1: brotherly love. It's a little weird and I'm not sure

652
00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:01,200
Speaker 1: I can even trust. I don't trust it. I don't

653
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 1: trust a lot of things, but you trust any one

654
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 1: of us. I trust you guys, you guys. I trust um.

655
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:12,280
Speaker 1: But I it's so hard to be like, Okay, yeah,

656
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:15,200
Speaker 1: look he's the guy. It's hard to be a positive

657
00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:18,080
Speaker 1: person probably in general, but it's definitely hard to be

658
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:21,880
Speaker 1: to buy in completely with him. But he looks really

659
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:26,960
Speaker 1: and it's it's true. And after the first two games

660
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:30,280
Speaker 1: I couldn't really buy in just because of the opponents.

661
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:33,960
Speaker 1: But after the Pittsburgh game, I was like, Okay, this

662
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:36,520
Speaker 1: is this is not bad. This is pretty good. Um,

663
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:41,320
Speaker 1: but yeah, it's good. On the other side of things, though,

664
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:45,200
Speaker 1: Darius Slay, he had such a great game for the Lions.

665
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:49,320
Speaker 1: He basically he forced the fumble that Ryan Matthews had

666
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:52,480
Speaker 1: and then he had that game changing interception, So huge

667
00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:55,680
Speaker 1: game for him. He came up big when the lines

668
00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:58,840
Speaker 1: offense went in the tank. I believe they had seventeen

669
00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:00,840
Speaker 1: first downs in the first hip and only two in

670
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:03,640
Speaker 1: the second half. And you could tell the Jim Bob

671
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:05,200
Speaker 1: Couter had a good game plan. He had a lot

672
00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 1: of misdirection plays that he was fulling Eagles defense. But

673
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:10,960
Speaker 1: when those plays ran out, the Eagles defense came back

674
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 1: and had a big second half. But credit Stafford for

675
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:15,720
Speaker 1: the game winning field goal drive and Theo Riddick was

676
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:17,800
Speaker 1: huge in this game. Is receiving ability. I mean, this

677
00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 1: is why they gave Slay a huge contract. He's a

678
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 1: veteran and he's a veteran on a defense that has

679
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 1: lost their veteran ziggy Anza in DeAndre Levy and the

680
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:29,720
Speaker 1: Lions there two and three. That's about what they should

681
00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 1: be to me. They haven't been a terrible team this year,

682
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:35,120
Speaker 1: especially considering the bad injury luck, and it's a guy

683
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:37,480
Speaker 1: with a monster deal kind of it's great to see

684
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:39,920
Speaker 1: like stepping up and go and go win a game. Buddy,

685
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:43,400
Speaker 1: and I was really surprised how the Lions came right

686
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:46,160
Speaker 1: out and marched right down the field for that for

687
00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:48,520
Speaker 1: I mean, I think it was his first three drives

688
00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:51,880
Speaker 1: they scored touchdowns with Matt Stafford. So I was surprised

689
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:54,640
Speaker 1: that the Eagles defense wasn't able to hold them. More.

690
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:56,479
Speaker 1: I thought that Jim Schwortz would have a couple more

691
00:33:56,560 --> 00:34:00,360
Speaker 1: tricks up a sleeve, but it turned out the sleep

692
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:04,640
Speaker 1: opposite exactly. So that's how, Yes, he's got all the

693
00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:06,959
Speaker 1: tricks of his sleep. No one should be surprised though.

694
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:11,040
Speaker 1: Stafford up the old Cooter. Stafford has been Stafford very

695
00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:12,800
Speaker 1: very good this year. I know he didn't have a

696
00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:14,520
Speaker 1: great week last week, but he was not as bad

697
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:16,600
Speaker 1: as I expected after I watched that game. To me,

698
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:19,239
Speaker 1: he is there with the He's not in the top

699
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:22,120
Speaker 1: you know, four or five quarterbacks in the league right now,

700
00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:25,000
Speaker 1: but he's right after that. And in terms of expecting

701
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:27,360
Speaker 1: him to play well every week, only took like, you know,

702
00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:30,799
Speaker 1: seven plus years, but that he's now, it's happened. So back. Yeah,

703
00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:35,759
Speaker 1: exciting Golden Tate too. He showed up today. Yeah, I

704
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:38,239
Speaker 1: know for thirty nine. I mean, let's not get too

705
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:41,480
Speaker 1: carried away. Well he had the game winning score. Well

706
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:44,200
Speaker 1: he didn't know he set up winning score. He had

707
00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:47,680
Speaker 1: a huge catch to set it up. So look, I've

708
00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:50,120
Speaker 1: been waiting for him to come out and to stop

709
00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:53,560
Speaker 1: being invisible in these games. So maybe this is the

710
00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:55,360
Speaker 1: start of you've been waiting for that, Like Mark has

711
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:58,200
Speaker 1: been waiting for Zach Zenner to show back up for

712
00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:01,680
Speaker 1: a few years, and here he was. It seven carries

713
00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:04,640
Speaker 1: for nine's on the fail he's playing. It's not exactly

714
00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:07,719
Speaker 1: what I was envisioning two summers ago. A couple of passes, caught,

715
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:10,840
Speaker 1: a couple of passes. All right, let's go to San Diego.

716
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:15,800
Speaker 1: The Chargers game giveaway. It continues. It happened again. I

717
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:18,080
Speaker 1: can't believe this one this week. It wasn't just in

718
00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:21,360
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter though. San Diego had a four nineteen

719
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:24,279
Speaker 1: lead with four minutes left in the third quarter, and

720
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:28,040
Speaker 1: then Melvin Gordon fumbled and the Raiders converted to the points,

721
00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:30,760
Speaker 1: leading to a thirty thirty one loss for the Chargers.

722
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:34,320
Speaker 1: They moved to one and four, their winless in the division.

723
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:39,000
Speaker 1: Greg The Chargers had four turnovers in this game. Once again,

724
00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:43,520
Speaker 1: they are the best you could possibly be as a

725
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:47,640
Speaker 1: one in four team, but they also know how to

726
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:53,080
Speaker 1: lose in any situation. And one of the indelible moments

727
00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:57,719
Speaker 1: really of this entire season for me is them dropping

728
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:01,520
Speaker 1: the whole The holder dropped the few old goal snap

729
00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:04,520
Speaker 1: that would have tied the game with just a few

730
00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:07,799
Speaker 1: minutes left. He can't handle it. He tries to pick

731
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:09,920
Speaker 1: it up. It's rolling away and they cut to the

732
00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:12,400
Speaker 1: sideline and it's the Philip Rivers. And I'm not a

733
00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:14,920
Speaker 1: professional lip reader, but plenty of other people read it

734
00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:17,759
Speaker 1: the same way. And he said, we're the bad news Bears. Man.

735
00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:21,640
Speaker 1: I saw him freaking out and he said that was

736
00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:24,080
Speaker 1: at one of his at one of his receivers. I mean,

737
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:27,000
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers was awesome in this game, they were they

738
00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:29,560
Speaker 1: had been delivered what had looked like a knockout punch.

739
00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:32,680
Speaker 1: They were up nine midway through the third suddenly where

740
00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:35,400
Speaker 1: they were down ten and they were driving there to

741
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:36,960
Speaker 1: try to win the game. It looked like they had

742
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:40,359
Speaker 1: really fought back, and then for that to happen is unbelievable. Yeah,

743
00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:43,000
Speaker 1: and we were on the Couch the Couch Show, which

744
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:46,000
Speaker 1: you came on today. It was great, but we were

745
00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:48,680
Speaker 1: watching this game, and when it happened in the third quarter,

746
00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:50,839
Speaker 1: I was like, I can't believe the Chargers are going

747
00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:54,160
Speaker 1: to lose this game. And everybody was saying, oh, come on,

748
00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:56,600
Speaker 1: there's so much time laughed, and I'm like, no, this

749
00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:58,759
Speaker 1: is this is what they do now, and I feel

750
00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:01,480
Speaker 1: like it's sort of effecting them mentally. I was just

751
00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:04,000
Speaker 1: gonna say the same thing that it's you get to

752
00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:06,919
Speaker 1: a tipping point where when you lose this many games

753
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:09,440
Speaker 1: this way, it's not a permanent identity, but it's like,

754
00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:12,040
Speaker 1: wait a minute, if it starts to creep in game

755
00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:14,600
Speaker 1: after game, Europe almost there's got to be certain aspects

756
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:17,080
Speaker 1: of the rock expecting it to happen exactly. I mean,

757
00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:19,960
Speaker 1: these are just young kids. They're human beings, and even

758
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:22,600
Speaker 1: if you're the coaching staff, it's like how it's on

759
00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:25,759
Speaker 1: the coaching staff too to find ways to stop this

760
00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:29,600
Speaker 1: from happening. But it's it's it's a total organizational implosion.

761
00:37:29,719 --> 00:37:32,439
Speaker 1: Four out of five games. Yeah, and just like last year,

762
00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:35,880
Speaker 1: I mean there haven't there weren't any key guys that

763
00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:38,240
Speaker 1: went down in this game, but the injuries this season,

764
00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:41,000
Speaker 1: it's the same narrative as last year with the injuries

765
00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:43,640
Speaker 1: and they're out there playing without Jason Verrette and Brandon

766
00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:46,640
Speaker 1: Flowers in this not to mention, you know, everyone else

767
00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:49,640
Speaker 1: they've lost this year, like Keenan Allen and Philip Rivers,

768
00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:52,600
Speaker 1: deserves much better than this they have. Last year, it

769
00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:54,719
Speaker 1: was the offensive lineman who would go down one a game.

770
00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:57,279
Speaker 1: This year, you take away and Malcolm Floyd to begin

771
00:37:57,360 --> 00:38:00,680
Speaker 1: the year, Stevie Johnson, Danny Wood had Keenan Allen. He's

772
00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:03,320
Speaker 1: thrown to Tyrelle Williams, Travis, Benjamin Hunter, Henry none of

773
00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:05,719
Speaker 1: him was on the team last year. And they're one

774
00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:08,200
Speaker 1: of four teams this year that have scored twenty points

775
00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:10,359
Speaker 1: in every game. I mean they they've led with two

776
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:12,920
Speaker 1: minutes left in every game until this one, which they

777
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:15,399
Speaker 1: easily should they should have tied. It was a chip

778
00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:17,480
Speaker 1: shot field goal and they had a second. The thing

779
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:20,480
Speaker 1: is the Chargers they set up these mistakes because they

780
00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:22,840
Speaker 1: had a second and one before that field goal, and

781
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:25,279
Speaker 1: they didn't convert a second and one to keep the

782
00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:26,759
Speaker 1: game going and try to win it. And then you

783
00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:28,360
Speaker 1: kicked the field goal and it all goes wrong. I

784
00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:31,160
Speaker 1: mean they did. I I cannot stand because this happens

785
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:33,520
Speaker 1: on this podcast and it happens and write ups. Hey,

786
00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:36,000
Speaker 1: I know your team is like a hot mess circling

787
00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:38,360
Speaker 1: towards Earth, but there is a bright spot for you

788
00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:41,960
Speaker 1: to cling to in mid October as everything is burning up.

789
00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:46,279
Speaker 1: But they got Joey Bosa back and he looked good today.

790
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:49,520
Speaker 1: I think, right, Yeah, you had two sacks, a couple

791
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:53,720
Speaker 1: of pressures, three tackles for losses total, a few run stops.

792
00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:57,319
Speaker 1: He only played twenty seven snaps he out of eighty one,

793
00:38:57,560 --> 00:39:00,640
Speaker 1: so they were bringing him in slowly. He made an

794
00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:04,759
Speaker 1: incredible impact for those twenty seven snaps. If he keeps

795
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:07,840
Speaker 1: that up the pace up for those twenty seven snaps,

796
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:10,640
Speaker 1: he will be the greatest defensive player in NFL. He

797
00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:13,600
Speaker 1: goes to my Odell Beckham rookie year theory, where if

798
00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:16,399
Speaker 1: you skip a big bunch of work early in the year,

799
00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:18,960
Speaker 1: if everyone wins in the end and all of us

800
00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:22,319
Speaker 1: should probably take multiple weeks off, that would be great.

801
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:24,480
Speaker 1: I think we can get behind that. I'm with that.

802
00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:30,680
Speaker 1: We'll skip July, August, you know, September and parts of

803
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:32,880
Speaker 1: October is what I'm lobbing for. Before we move on,

804
00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:35,120
Speaker 1: we should give some credit to the four and one

805
00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:42,440
Speaker 1: team of a t L nominee. Ok, here's what the

806
00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:46,000
Speaker 1: Raiders do out They make pretty plays which should be considered.

807
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:49,080
Speaker 1: I mean, every week there's something that gets you out

808
00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:50,719
Speaker 1: of your seat, and in this week, for me, it

809
00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:54,360
Speaker 1: was a third down conversion by Michael Crabtree. Just the

810
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:57,920
Speaker 1: incredible show of hands. Oh yeah, that he just grabbed

811
00:39:57,920 --> 00:39:59,680
Speaker 1: it right and then his pat and his feet on

812
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:02,320
Speaker 1: the sideline, and the very next play they hit a

813
00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:04,759
Speaker 1: sixty four yard touchdown to Mary Cooper. They would have

814
00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:06,800
Speaker 1: and that that to me is that team. You know,

815
00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:09,879
Speaker 1: those two are so tough to to. That crab Tree

816
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:12,839
Speaker 1: catch won't make all the watch every touchdown from Week

817
00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:16,080
Speaker 1: five highlight reels, but it was probably the best catch

818
00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:17,759
Speaker 1: of the day in many ways for what it's set

819
00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:20,600
Speaker 1: up to. Yeah, their defense is getting a little more

820
00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:23,080
Speaker 1: fun to watch too, with Karl Joseph at safety, who's

821
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:25,320
Speaker 1: already one of the most fun safeties to watch in

822
00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:28,320
Speaker 1: the Yeah, I'm glad that's finally getting together because that

823
00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:31,840
Speaker 1: was brutal the first couple of weeks. Mary Cooper that touchdown,

824
00:40:31,960 --> 00:40:33,560
Speaker 1: I can't believe that was his first of the year.

825
00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:36,600
Speaker 1: So although Philip Rivers, you know, did average twelve yards

826
00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:40,600
Speaker 1: a throw today against that secondary details, let's say, and

827
00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:44,160
Speaker 1: they got some things to work details. Okay, let's move on.

828
00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:48,719
Speaker 1: But before we get to the next game, I want

829
00:40:48,760 --> 00:40:52,560
Speaker 1: to talk to you about Mr flames economics. Do you

830
00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:55,520
Speaker 1: like Marcus? Me too. I go to markets all the time,

831
00:40:55,840 --> 00:40:58,200
Speaker 1: but there's only one place in the world to learn

832
00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:01,640
Speaker 1: everything you need to know about global markets and supply

833
00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:04,080
Speaker 1: and demand of what's inside of them. If you're a

834
00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:07,080
Speaker 1: high school student in the Hague, Netherlands, Mr Flame can

835
00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:11,319
Speaker 1: illuminate the mystery of surpluses and deficits. Don't take any

836
00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:14,200
Speaker 1: old economics class. Sign up for the best and the

837
00:41:14,360 --> 00:41:18,240
Speaker 1: brightest at mr flame class dot com. That's flame class

838
00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:20,480
Speaker 1: dot com. Use promo code a t N A sign

839
00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:24,239
Speaker 1: up and see what happens the promo code A t N.

840
00:41:24,840 --> 00:41:26,759
Speaker 1: I like how you say, see what happens because you

841
00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:29,719
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know. There was a video. Don't

842
00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:31,759
Speaker 1: know what's gonna happen. Mr Flames sent out a video

843
00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:34,960
Speaker 1: from the Hague, the Netherlands of you know, it's explaining

844
00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:36,640
Speaker 1: to the A t N crew that we had an

845
00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:40,360
Speaker 1: inelastic supply model. I believe it was, but also turning

846
00:41:40,760 --> 00:41:44,080
Speaker 1: the camera to show an absolute influx of news students

847
00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:46,680
Speaker 1: too many for him to handle. That's probably what he

848
00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:49,680
Speaker 1: was trying to see economically. Secondly, though, we've interacted with

849
00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:52,920
Speaker 1: him on email, and I'll say this, this guy is

850
00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:57,719
Speaker 1: a mensch. I love this guy. Mr F is just

851
00:41:58,160 --> 00:42:00,319
Speaker 1: he's the man. I could go on and on, but yeah,

852
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:03,359
Speaker 1: and that's why he's the presenting sponsor here. So it's

853
00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:06,120
Speaker 1: shame on all these other sponsors that couldn't get this

854
00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:09,600
Speaker 1: kind of you know, these these ads, these promos, this content,

855
00:42:09,719 --> 00:42:13,239
Speaker 1: this interaction with all of us. Good on MRF. All right,

856
00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:18,000
Speaker 1: how about the Ravens. They jumped out to an early lead,

857
00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:20,400
Speaker 1: but they were attacked by all sorts of injuries in

858
00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:23,160
Speaker 1: this game. But Chard Perriman almost got them the win,

859
00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:26,760
Speaker 1: but his twenty three yard touchdown was reversed with thirty

860
00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:29,799
Speaker 1: seconds left in the game, saving a six ten win

861
00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:33,360
Speaker 1: for the Redskins. West, you did this game? What happened?

862
00:42:33,400 --> 00:42:36,800
Speaker 1: Did Joe Flacco's offense? The Ravens blew this game in

863
00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:39,160
Speaker 1: so many different ways. And I'm sure anybody who was

864
00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:43,000
Speaker 1: reading my game recap and was a Redskins fan was like,

865
00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:45,240
Speaker 1: why didn't you give us any credit? Because the Ravens

866
00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:47,880
Speaker 1: blew the game in every way possible, and the Redskins

867
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:51,040
Speaker 1: there wasn't that much noteworthy. They tried to give it away.

868
00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:54,319
Speaker 1: Even late in the game. Kirk Cousins, who had been

869
00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:57,600
Speaker 1: playing pretty well in the second half, throws an interception

870
00:42:57,880 --> 00:43:01,000
Speaker 1: deep in his own territory. C J. Mosley, Ravens linebacker,

871
00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:03,040
Speaker 1: makes an athletic play on it, brings it all the

872
00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:05,840
Speaker 1: way back just as he's reaching through for the pylon,

873
00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:07,920
Speaker 1: fumbles it out the back of the end zone. And

874
00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:11,960
Speaker 1: because it's a bizarre, weird NFL rule, the Redskins immediately

875
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:14,440
Speaker 1: get the ball on a touchback. The Ravens don't get

876
00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:16,800
Speaker 1: the ball anywhere near the end zone. Let's let's change

877
00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:19,279
Speaker 1: that rule. Let's we'll talk about this game a lot

878
00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:21,800
Speaker 1: more in a minute. Let's change that rule. That's the

879
00:43:21,880 --> 00:43:24,319
Speaker 1: worst rule we got the they got them to raise

880
00:43:24,360 --> 00:43:27,680
Speaker 1: the uprights. Eventually, we can change that rule. Wouldn't make

881
00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:32,360
Speaker 1: more sense to give the ball to the fumbling team. Yeah, Like,

882
00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:34,200
Speaker 1: how do you even come up with that rule? It

883
00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:37,080
Speaker 1: seems bizarre like someone came up with it seventy years

884
00:43:37,120 --> 00:43:38,759
Speaker 1: ago and nobody thought about it. Since it seems like

885
00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:41,360
Speaker 1: they didn't make up any rule and then that one's

886
00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:43,640
Speaker 1: happened in the game and they just made that up

887
00:43:43,640 --> 00:43:49,240
Speaker 1: at the time that you don't know that that seems

888
00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:53,800
Speaker 1: credible to see what happened. The Ravens jumped out with

889
00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:56,040
Speaker 1: an touchdown on their opening drive. They looked like they

890
00:43:56,080 --> 00:43:58,680
Speaker 1: were in control of the game. Steve Smith went down

891
00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:01,120
Speaker 1: with an ankle injury in the first order, and then

892
00:44:01,160 --> 00:44:03,960
Speaker 1: their offensive line, which is already decimated by injuries. Marshal

893
00:44:04,080 --> 00:44:06,880
Speaker 1: Yanda had to kick out the tackle and the the

894
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:09,640
Speaker 1: inside the guards were getting worked over. I don't think

895
00:44:09,680 --> 00:44:12,920
Speaker 1: Mark Trustman trusted his offensive line to block for downfield throws,

896
00:44:13,239 --> 00:44:15,359
Speaker 1: so the man coverage was sitting on all the short

897
00:44:15,440 --> 00:44:17,560
Speaker 1: routes and the offense just win the tank the rest

898
00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:20,000
Speaker 1: of the way. On the same week that Joe Flacco

899
00:44:20,560 --> 00:44:23,759
Speaker 1: basically complained that they don't throw the ball deep enough.

900
00:44:24,560 --> 00:44:31,960
Speaker 1: Their longest play was fifteen yards. They well guess you

901
00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:35,600
Speaker 1: had the twenty three yard would have been touchdown to Pairman.

902
00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:37,879
Speaker 1: But there was also another deep ball to Pairman which

903
00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:40,480
Speaker 1: he just barely missed it, and that would have been

904
00:44:40,560 --> 00:44:42,440
Speaker 1: good to set them up on like the two foot

905
00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:44,480
Speaker 1: line right in front of the end zone. But all

906
00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:47,200
Speaker 1: these plays that they could have made and didn't. They

907
00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:50,400
Speaker 1: had a fake field goal that backfired on them, and

908
00:44:50,480 --> 00:44:53,880
Speaker 1: the wind was a factor. It pushed Dustin Dustin Hopkins

909
00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:58,040
Speaker 1: extra point off and uh In affected field goal decisions

910
00:44:58,040 --> 00:45:00,239
Speaker 1: throughout right. They went for a fake field goal, which

911
00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:02,880
Speaker 1: they probably the Ravens that is because Justin Tucker is

912
00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:04,840
Speaker 1: the most reliable kicker in the league. They would have

913
00:45:04,920 --> 00:45:07,239
Speaker 1: gone for the kick if instead of the fake, if

914
00:45:07,280 --> 00:45:09,480
Speaker 1: not for the win factor. Are you concerned about the

915
00:45:09,600 --> 00:45:12,200
Speaker 1: Ravens getting into games where I understand what happens today,

916
00:45:12,239 --> 00:45:14,520
Speaker 1: where if they get into shootouts, do they have the

917
00:45:14,640 --> 00:45:17,640
Speaker 1: kind of attack that can hang with teams in that situation?

918
00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:21,719
Speaker 1: Is Steve Smith healthy? Does Mark Trustman bury his nose

919
00:45:21,760 --> 00:45:23,919
Speaker 1: in the playbook and refuse to see the Terence West

920
00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:27,359
Speaker 1: is really eight or nine yards of carry? Every Mark

921
00:45:27,400 --> 00:45:30,920
Speaker 1: Trustman was the Ravens special issue. Then he was their

922
00:45:30,960 --> 00:45:35,480
Speaker 1: worst enemy. Today. Terence West, he's going off in the

923
00:45:35,560 --> 00:45:38,080
Speaker 1: first half. In the first quarter, he's got sixty yards

924
00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:41,120
Speaker 1: on five carries. The second quarter, eight of the ten

925
00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:44,279
Speaker 1: plays are passes. It sounds like a repeat from Mark

926
00:45:44,320 --> 00:45:47,399
Speaker 1: trustman complaints when he was the coach of the Bears. Yes,

927
00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:50,520
Speaker 1: it's a it's a legit valid complaint. Even in the

928
00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:52,719
Speaker 1: second half that it was a close gaming, you're still

929
00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:55,399
Speaker 1: ignoring Terence West while he's averaging five or six yards

930
00:45:55,440 --> 00:45:58,080
Speaker 1: per carrying stead of eight or nine. It's against the

931
00:45:58,120 --> 00:46:00,600
Speaker 1: Redskins defense that he probably could have run twice as

932
00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:05,120
Speaker 1: hot garbage Redskins run defense, and Terence West is blowing

933
00:46:05,239 --> 00:46:08,359
Speaker 1: right through it. It was bizarre for it. A little

934
00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:13,640
Speaker 1: fantasy um advice here. Don't worry about Kenneth Dixon. Not

935
00:46:13,760 --> 00:46:16,520
Speaker 1: gonna not gonna be an issue. I would say not

936
00:46:16,800 --> 00:46:19,000
Speaker 1: for the month of October. He looked slow and he

937
00:46:19,040 --> 00:46:21,719
Speaker 1: looked hesitant, and Terence West looks streamlined. Well. They said

938
00:46:21,719 --> 00:46:24,520
Speaker 1: he had a huge brace on or something to Dixon.

939
00:46:24,840 --> 00:46:26,880
Speaker 1: He only had three carries for minus one yards, so

940
00:46:27,440 --> 00:46:29,160
Speaker 1: maybe he had the knee brace. I didn't notice it,

941
00:46:29,239 --> 00:46:31,400
Speaker 1: but he did look slow and he looked hesitant. He

942
00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:33,360
Speaker 1: didn't look like he trusted the knee quite yet. We

943
00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:36,279
Speaker 1: should give the Redskins some credit, maybe not just for

944
00:46:36,360 --> 00:46:39,320
Speaker 1: this week, but they were owing to there, you know,

945
00:46:39,440 --> 00:46:41,279
Speaker 1: two and oh on the road. Now they're they've won

946
00:46:41,440 --> 00:46:44,359
Speaker 1: three straight games. They've had a lot of injuries and saying,

947
00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:48,160
Speaker 1: don't give him. I'm just saying I didn't expect them

948
00:46:48,239 --> 00:46:50,680
Speaker 1: to be back here. A few teams that we quickly

949
00:46:51,200 --> 00:46:53,800
Speaker 1: didn't feel too good about, like the Bills and the Redskins.

950
00:46:53,840 --> 00:46:56,120
Speaker 1: There right back about where you'd expect him to be. Yeah,

951
00:46:56,200 --> 00:46:59,839
Speaker 1: that's true. Um, in the interest of full disclosure here,

952
00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:02,120
Speaker 1: I've had a lot of Red Bull since I was

953
00:47:02,440 --> 00:47:05,680
Speaker 1: on the couch all day. I don't even drink red Bull. Um,

954
00:47:06,200 --> 00:47:12,960
Speaker 1: are you crashing right now? No? I think I'm like, yes, so, yeah,

955
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:15,600
Speaker 1: I have no soul inside. I've kind of like just

956
00:47:15,719 --> 00:47:17,640
Speaker 1: a shell of a person at this been replaced by

957
00:47:17,680 --> 00:47:19,800
Speaker 1: an energy drink. Only one time in my life have

958
00:47:19,920 --> 00:47:22,840
Speaker 1: I had Red Bull without alcohol in it. And it

959
00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:25,080
Speaker 1: was before a softball tournament and I was so jittery

960
00:47:25,120 --> 00:47:26,799
Speaker 1: at short stop that I couldn't even feel the ball.

961
00:47:26,880 --> 00:47:30,360
Speaker 1: My heart now, I never drank Red Bull again after that.

962
00:47:30,400 --> 00:47:32,359
Speaker 1: I don't like being not being in control of my nerves.

963
00:47:32,440 --> 00:47:34,640
Speaker 1: How many times have you had it with alcohol? Give

964
00:47:34,680 --> 00:47:37,920
Speaker 1: me an over under of fifty. I mean, yeager bombs

965
00:47:37,920 --> 00:47:39,560
Speaker 1: were the go to drink a huck a Poo's on

966
00:47:39,640 --> 00:47:42,919
Speaker 1: some Saturday night, So roughly six or seven hundred times.

967
00:47:43,120 --> 00:47:47,080
Speaker 1: I mean just the smell of yeager. I never bought one.

968
00:47:47,120 --> 00:47:49,239
Speaker 1: It was like someone one of the locals would buy

969
00:47:49,280 --> 00:47:51,080
Speaker 1: you a drink and you kind of felt bad, so

970
00:47:51,200 --> 00:47:53,160
Speaker 1: you had to drink. I'm more of a hard drugs guy,

971
00:47:54,880 --> 00:48:00,480
Speaker 1: cold medicine, better drill. Yeah, me too. Okay. How about

972
00:48:00,520 --> 00:48:05,040
Speaker 1: the Vikings Mark Sessler, this team, they're perfect now through

973
00:48:05,320 --> 00:48:10,319
Speaker 1: five games, a thirty one thirteen beat up on the Texans. Here.

974
00:48:10,960 --> 00:48:13,120
Speaker 1: What did you see in this game? That defense looks

975
00:48:13,160 --> 00:48:15,400
Speaker 1: so good. Yeah, I saw a team and it reminds

976
00:48:15,480 --> 00:48:17,319
Speaker 1: me a little bit of what happened in Dallas. From

977
00:48:17,360 --> 00:48:20,840
Speaker 1: the very first minute, Minnesota came out and completely imposed

978
00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:24,560
Speaker 1: the will on a Houston Texans team that somehow has

979
00:48:24,640 --> 00:48:28,000
Speaker 1: shown no ability to play against premier competition. Again, it

980
00:48:28,120 --> 00:48:31,560
Speaker 1: was an absolute flattening. Forget the final score of thirteen

981
00:48:31,600 --> 00:48:33,839
Speaker 1: points for the Texans. It came in deep garbage time,

982
00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:36,880
Speaker 1: two straight drives for the Vikings offense right out of

983
00:48:36,920 --> 00:48:40,720
Speaker 1: the gate to eight play touchdown marches. It got started

984
00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:44,400
Speaker 1: with this Las sid second Andy Leven from the Texans,

985
00:48:44,480 --> 00:49:04,080
Speaker 1: thirty six Brattford passing rights. Whoa well, touchdowns, that's my boy.

986
00:49:04,239 --> 00:49:08,160
Speaker 1: Paul Allen from KA fan in Minnesota, not the Seattle

987
00:49:08,200 --> 00:49:12,080
Speaker 1: Seahawks owner, but a capable play by play telecaster who

988
00:49:12,160 --> 00:49:14,040
Speaker 1: took it home right there. I'll tell you something else.

989
00:49:14,760 --> 00:49:17,880
Speaker 1: This Adam Feeling, who I was crowing about in the office.

990
00:49:17,960 --> 00:49:20,600
Speaker 1: I know people don't know he's not Randy Moss. It's like,

991
00:49:20,640 --> 00:49:22,719
Speaker 1: I get it. You know what. You don't have that back,

992
00:49:23,040 --> 00:49:24,759
Speaker 1: you don't have stuff. I know that. I'm just saying,

993
00:49:24,800 --> 00:49:27,200
Speaker 1: you don't have Stefan digs and you're in it. You're

994
00:49:27,200 --> 00:49:29,680
Speaker 1: in an offense that doesn't have the quarterback in the

995
00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:32,640
Speaker 1: running back you went into the season. Who said anything

996
00:49:32,719 --> 00:49:41,000
Speaker 1: bad about Adam? Adam, all you can ask for is

997
00:49:41,040 --> 00:49:43,320
Speaker 1: a player when people are out to step in and

998
00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:46,239
Speaker 1: fill the gap the best you can. Seven catches a

999
00:49:46,360 --> 00:49:48,719
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty seven yards. He found a way to

1000
00:49:48,760 --> 00:49:54,200
Speaker 1: get into spaces between Houston secondary. Houston's defense got absolutely

1001
00:49:54,400 --> 00:49:57,360
Speaker 1: outmanned and outpowered. And we haven't even gotten to the

1002
00:49:57,400 --> 00:50:01,320
Speaker 1: best part of this game. Minnesota's defense, the super Bowl defense.

1003
00:50:01,520 --> 00:50:03,840
Speaker 1: We've been talking about this since the summer. They have

1004
00:50:03,920 --> 00:50:06,239
Speaker 1: a super Bowl level head coach and Mike Zimmer, and

1005
00:50:06,360 --> 00:50:10,440
Speaker 1: they took brock Osweiler the seventy two million dollar thirty

1006
00:50:10,480 --> 00:50:13,160
Speaker 1: seven million and guarantees quarterback and made him look like

1007
00:50:13,239 --> 00:50:17,080
Speaker 1: the best quarterback in the league. Today, they shredded him.

1008
00:50:17,480 --> 00:50:20,520
Speaker 1: I would be very concerned for Texans fans who are

1009
00:50:20,560 --> 00:50:23,920
Speaker 1: watching brock Oswiler go out and look absolutely lost at

1010
00:50:24,000 --> 00:50:27,480
Speaker 1: sea while four or five rookie quarterbacks look more capable

1011
00:50:27,520 --> 00:50:29,480
Speaker 1: and ready for game action than than he does. In

1012
00:50:29,560 --> 00:50:33,880
Speaker 1: this offense. Will Fuller and DeAndre Hopkins were shut out

1013
00:50:33,960 --> 00:50:35,960
Speaker 1: in the first half, and anything you see in a

1014
00:50:36,040 --> 00:50:38,160
Speaker 1: box score that they have it happened late in the

1015
00:50:38,239 --> 00:50:40,960
Speaker 1: game when nothing mattered. This game was over by the second,

1016
00:50:41,040 --> 00:50:46,360
Speaker 1: by the third quarter. Fire in your eyes. Listen. I

1017
00:50:46,440 --> 00:50:48,960
Speaker 1: don't want to hear any garbage about where where are

1018
00:50:49,040 --> 00:50:50,719
Speaker 1: we with the Vikings. I don't care where we are

1019
00:50:50,719 --> 00:50:52,920
Speaker 1: as a group. This team cares where they are, and

1020
00:50:52,960 --> 00:50:55,840
Speaker 1: they said it from the minute that they lost Teddy Bridgewater.

1021
00:50:56,080 --> 00:50:58,000
Speaker 1: We're not giving up, and they haven't shown any any

1022
00:50:58,080 --> 00:51:01,000
Speaker 1: hint of that. I always know that it's going to

1023
00:51:01,080 --> 00:51:09,640
Speaker 1: be good when Sessler starts with his hands. Well, just

1024
00:51:09,880 --> 00:51:11,520
Speaker 1: that it is that kind of a team where it

1025
00:51:11,560 --> 00:51:15,080
Speaker 1: doesn't matter what happens. Someone else comes in and Phil

1026
00:51:15,239 --> 00:51:17,720
Speaker 1: does the job. A lot of I'd say three quarters

1027
00:51:17,719 --> 00:51:19,960
Speaker 1: of the league don't have that dynamic on any level.

1028
00:51:20,040 --> 00:51:23,560
Speaker 1: They lose someone that position is an absolute weekend issue

1029
00:51:23,600 --> 00:51:25,560
Speaker 1: for the rest of the season. How about Sam Bradford

1030
00:51:25,640 --> 00:51:29,359
Speaker 1: doing this today without Stefon Diggs and so, I mean

1031
00:51:29,440 --> 00:51:32,160
Speaker 1: even Cordarrel Patterson. They haven't had a running game with

1032
00:51:34,239 --> 00:51:37,560
Speaker 1: that tackles haven't played well. It's incredible. I mean, it

1033
00:51:37,640 --> 00:51:40,920
Speaker 1: gets it gets Mark excited, It gets Paul Allen so excited.

1034
00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:43,880
Speaker 1: He made some fake argument about people calling the Texans

1035
00:51:43,960 --> 00:51:46,640
Speaker 1: the best secondary in the league. Who caused the Texans

1036
00:51:46,760 --> 00:51:52,800
Speaker 1: that that's number one? But every game it's a different

1037
00:51:52,880 --> 00:51:55,439
Speaker 1: guy who's Sam Bradford is making look like a star.

1038
00:51:55,960 --> 00:51:59,400
Speaker 1: Stefon Diggs really is a good receiver, Adam feelings a

1039
00:51:59,400 --> 00:52:02,600
Speaker 1: special team. Charles Johnson last week had disappeared until he

1040
00:52:02,640 --> 00:52:05,839
Speaker 1: catches two deep balls. Kyle Rudolphs having the best year

1041
00:52:05,840 --> 00:52:08,480
Speaker 1: of his career. Sam Bradford's an upgrade on Teddy Bridge.

1042
00:52:08,560 --> 00:52:12,520
Speaker 1: You know, Cordarrel Patterson finally looks like too. I mean,

1043
00:52:12,840 --> 00:52:16,239
Speaker 1: I can't believe I'm amazing time. The fact that Sam Bradford,

1044
00:52:16,320 --> 00:52:19,800
Speaker 1: when paired with North Turner is looks better than Teddy

1045
00:52:19,840 --> 00:52:23,080
Speaker 1: Bridgewater is making this offense work. Sometimes it's best not

1046
00:52:23,239 --> 00:52:25,319
Speaker 1: to think too deeply about And he's also just never

1047
00:52:25,440 --> 00:52:27,040
Speaker 1: had this kind of a team around him, because the

1048
00:52:27,120 --> 00:52:28,840
Speaker 1: Eagles team, no matter what they are on defense this

1049
00:52:28,920 --> 00:52:32,040
Speaker 1: year where mess around Sam Bradford the last two seasons.

1050
00:52:32,200 --> 00:52:35,359
Speaker 1: And I mean it's I'm not saying any quarterback could

1051
00:52:35,360 --> 00:52:37,560
Speaker 1: do this, that's not the case. But this defense sets

1052
00:52:37,600 --> 00:52:39,839
Speaker 1: the table up for you. Very nice people always talking

1053
00:52:39,840 --> 00:52:42,399
Speaker 1: about weapons. Having the best defense in the league. That's

1054
00:52:42,400 --> 00:52:44,799
Speaker 1: a weapon. Weapon. It's gonna get people off your back.

1055
00:52:44,880 --> 00:52:47,080
Speaker 1: It's gonna get you the ball back, it's gonna it's

1056
00:52:47,120 --> 00:52:48,520
Speaker 1: gonna make you look good on a day they had

1057
00:52:48,560 --> 00:52:51,120
Speaker 1: three hundred and fifty yards. You can dominate because he's

1058
00:52:51,160 --> 00:52:54,040
Speaker 1: making the plays when it counts. And that's the opposite

1059
00:52:54,080 --> 00:52:57,560
Speaker 1: of Oswahler, who one in thirteen one of thirteen on

1060
00:52:57,719 --> 00:53:01,120
Speaker 1: first on third downs. The the Texans today, we're only

1061
00:53:01,200 --> 00:53:06,800
Speaker 1: five games this all. Their offense looks so dysfunctional games

1062
00:53:07,040 --> 00:53:10,200
Speaker 1: not involved at all. But they're worse than they were

1063
00:53:10,280 --> 00:53:14,239
Speaker 1: with Brian Hoyer. And it's not particularly particularly close. They've

1064
00:53:14,280 --> 00:53:17,200
Speaker 1: they've been disjoined it all year. There. They have a

1065
00:53:17,320 --> 00:53:20,280
Speaker 1: couple big plays every game and he makes some impressive throws,

1066
00:53:20,520 --> 00:53:22,560
Speaker 1: but they're not moving the ball. They're a team that

1067
00:53:22,719 --> 00:53:25,600
Speaker 1: it's a boomer bust offense. And for nine eight, nine,

1068
00:53:25,680 --> 00:53:28,279
Speaker 1: ten drives a game, they're going three, four, five and out.

1069
00:53:30,400 --> 00:53:33,959
Speaker 1: Who got paid broadcostwar and Lamar Miller? Yeah, Brock Lamar

1070
00:53:34,080 --> 00:53:35,880
Speaker 1: Miller has been one of the least effective starting running

1071
00:53:35,880 --> 00:53:38,360
Speaker 1: backs in the NFL this year. And brock Oswaller, like

1072
00:53:38,480 --> 00:53:41,120
Speaker 1: Greg said, not even an upgrade on Brian Hoyer. No,

1073
00:53:41,280 --> 00:53:43,480
Speaker 1: and he and I think that they brock Oswaller is

1074
00:53:43,520 --> 00:53:46,880
Speaker 1: still young enough where he doesn't have the resume and

1075
00:53:46,920 --> 00:53:48,839
Speaker 1: the hundreds of starts to look back on and say,

1076
00:53:48,920 --> 00:53:50,759
Speaker 1: I know I can dig myself out of this. They

1077
00:53:50,840 --> 00:53:52,800
Speaker 1: got in his head. It's not the first quarterback that

1078
00:53:52,800 --> 00:53:55,360
Speaker 1: Minnesota's they s Aaron Rodgers looked bad, They made everyone

1079
00:53:55,400 --> 00:53:57,160
Speaker 1: look bad. This isn't the first defense to get in

1080
00:53:57,160 --> 00:53:59,680
Speaker 1: brock Oswaller's head either. No, but this, this is not.

1081
00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:02,319
Speaker 1: This is the best defense right now that he will

1082
00:54:02,360 --> 00:54:04,600
Speaker 1: face all season. He's the best defense in the NFL?

1083
00:54:04,840 --> 00:54:08,160
Speaker 1: Have they me? They are? I don't care watching the

1084
00:54:10,280 --> 00:54:14,480
Speaker 1: stats are smart? Yeah, I think I think Listen, this

1085
00:54:14,560 --> 00:54:16,800
Speaker 1: could change in a couple of weeks. But Denver's Denver

1086
00:54:16,960 --> 00:54:20,520
Speaker 1: has shown consistency that we have not seen Minnesota do this. Um,

1087
00:54:20,600 --> 00:54:22,719
Speaker 1: you know, as long as Denver has for these five weeks. No,

1088
00:54:22,840 --> 00:54:25,120
Speaker 1: but we'll actually you know, they've won eight straight regular

1089
00:54:25,160 --> 00:54:28,360
Speaker 1: season games, that's the most in the league. And go ahead,

1090
00:54:28,440 --> 00:54:31,080
Speaker 1: go find your weaknesses, but they're not there. In my book,

1091
00:54:31,120 --> 00:54:33,120
Speaker 1: this is a team well and the Texans are in

1092
00:54:33,200 --> 00:54:35,800
Speaker 1: a similar spot where I think they need their defense

1093
00:54:35,920 --> 00:54:39,640
Speaker 1: to be truly dominant to be a real contender. I mean,

1094
00:54:39,680 --> 00:54:41,399
Speaker 1: they're going to be in the mix in the NFC South.

1095
00:54:41,440 --> 00:54:44,400
Speaker 1: It's a bad division. And I don't know, I have

1096
00:54:44,520 --> 00:54:47,280
Speaker 1: to watch this one closer. Last week, they certainly weren't

1097
00:54:47,520 --> 00:54:50,920
Speaker 1: a dominant looking defense, uh you know in that in

1098
00:54:51,000 --> 00:54:53,920
Speaker 1: that game for the Texans in their win. Clowney hasn't

1099
00:54:53,960 --> 00:54:55,840
Speaker 1: really shown up this year. It looks like by the

1100
00:54:55,880 --> 00:54:58,000
Speaker 1: box score he had a nice day today, but he's

1101
00:54:58,040 --> 00:55:01,160
Speaker 1: been very quiet after. You know, they at pressure on Bradford.

1102
00:55:01,200 --> 00:55:03,200
Speaker 1: They hit Bradford, but a lot of it just seemed,

1103
00:55:03,239 --> 00:55:05,440
Speaker 1: you know, when you're down early, a lot of it

1104
00:55:05,560 --> 00:55:08,640
Speaker 1: just came when it didn't really change the game. We're

1105
00:55:08,719 --> 00:55:12,480
Speaker 1: going almost a full sixteen game season on Sam Bradford. Now,

1106
00:55:13,040 --> 00:55:18,280
Speaker 1: since November one of last season, he's completed his passes

1107
00:55:18,840 --> 00:55:22,560
Speaker 1: sixteen to four touchdown to interception ratio and a one

1108
00:55:22,600 --> 00:55:26,600
Speaker 1: oh one point two pass A radio to talk more

1109
00:55:27,200 --> 00:55:33,080
Speaker 1: on Tuesday to where we going here? L A. All right,

1110
00:55:33,200 --> 00:55:35,600
Speaker 1: let's go to the Bills and the Rams. I think

1111
00:55:35,680 --> 00:55:38,520
Speaker 1: this was Dan's lock of the week. Was it that

1112
00:55:38,760 --> 00:55:42,840
Speaker 1: the Bills? Because he's a certified expert. I think that's right.

1113
00:55:42,920 --> 00:55:45,759
Speaker 1: I think Dan picked Buffalo to win this that did

1114
00:55:45,840 --> 00:55:50,120
Speaker 1: not happen. And Rex Ryan he now led his team

1115
00:55:50,280 --> 00:55:53,640
Speaker 1: to a win. Lashawn McCoy looked good and they pulled

1116
00:55:53,680 --> 00:55:56,759
Speaker 1: out a thirty to nineteen win over the Rams after

1117
00:55:56,840 --> 00:56:01,319
Speaker 1: a fake punt missfired. So let's talk about this game.

1118
00:56:01,400 --> 00:56:03,840
Speaker 1: I had that incorrect. I said Dan chose the Bills

1119
00:56:03,880 --> 00:56:05,800
Speaker 1: to win. We're saying that he chose them to lose.

1120
00:56:05,880 --> 00:56:07,600
Speaker 1: Is that he was? Was that he's saying? Was it

1121
00:56:07,640 --> 00:56:10,960
Speaker 1: was a bounce back as in backward Rex type of game.

1122
00:56:11,120 --> 00:56:17,920
Speaker 1: I believe his lock of the week or not. I

1123
00:56:17,960 --> 00:56:20,800
Speaker 1: don't get signal. It was the rain that that that

1124
00:56:20,840 --> 00:56:23,200
Speaker 1: the Bills would fall apart and Jeff Fisher to defend

1125
00:56:23,280 --> 00:56:25,520
Speaker 1: that block punt and for some context. It's just a

1126
00:56:25,600 --> 00:56:28,000
Speaker 1: few minutes I think four minutes left in that game,

1127
00:56:28,120 --> 00:56:32,120
Speaker 1: maybe even less, fourth and five deep in their own territory,

1128
00:56:32,600 --> 00:56:34,440
Speaker 1: and they go for the fake punt there. The problem

1129
00:56:34,520 --> 00:56:36,560
Speaker 1: is they've done so many fake punts over the years.

1130
00:56:36,640 --> 00:56:40,439
Speaker 1: The Bills were expecting it. How was that defending Jeff Fisher?

1131
00:56:41,239 --> 00:56:43,640
Speaker 1: I'm not defending at all. How about the fact that

1132
00:56:43,719 --> 00:56:45,880
Speaker 1: he said I was playing to win. How about have

1133
00:56:45,920 --> 00:56:49,000
Speaker 1: you played a win? Put your quarterback and Todd Gurley

1134
00:56:49,040 --> 00:56:50,719
Speaker 1: and your receivers on the field and try to pick

1135
00:56:50,840 --> 00:56:54,000
Speaker 1: up five yards. If he was playing for the win,

1136
00:56:54,360 --> 00:56:56,960
Speaker 1: why went it to seven point game with only five

1137
00:56:57,040 --> 00:56:58,640
Speaker 1: or six minutes left? Does he go for the field

1138
00:56:58,640 --> 00:57:00,920
Speaker 1: goals the four point game? For what to worth? But yeah, no,

1139
00:57:01,120 --> 00:57:04,239
Speaker 1: earlier when he went for the field goal when a

1140
00:57:04,320 --> 00:57:06,360
Speaker 1: touchdown would have tied it. And even if you go

1141
00:57:06,480 --> 00:57:09,320
Speaker 1: for the field goal, you still need a touchdown, and

1142
00:57:09,760 --> 00:57:12,080
Speaker 1: it forces you to make these decisions like the fake

1143
00:57:12,160 --> 00:57:14,960
Speaker 1: punt when you do that. Yeah, I I had problems

1144
00:57:15,000 --> 00:57:17,800
Speaker 1: with all of that. And yet when I watched, you know,

1145
00:57:17,880 --> 00:57:19,760
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter of the game and all the key plays,

1146
00:57:19,800 --> 00:57:21,600
Speaker 1: the Bills won the battle. I mean, the Rams are

1147
00:57:21,600 --> 00:57:24,480
Speaker 1: missing three of their fourth starting defensive lineman, and the

1148
00:57:24,600 --> 00:57:28,280
Speaker 1: Bills on all of these plays where Fisher made questionable decisions,

1149
00:57:28,480 --> 00:57:31,840
Speaker 1: they won those plays. They they prevented them from scoring

1150
00:57:31,880 --> 00:57:34,760
Speaker 1: the touchdown, they forced the fourth down. You know, they

1151
00:57:34,840 --> 00:57:37,080
Speaker 1: made a nice play when he called the fake punt.

1152
00:57:37,120 --> 00:57:39,680
Speaker 1: They were the better team. Welly, good team right now.

1153
00:57:39,720 --> 00:57:41,920
Speaker 1: You talked about this Rams defense is being the you know,

1154
00:57:42,000 --> 00:57:43,760
Speaker 1: the core of their whole effort to try to get

1155
00:57:43,800 --> 00:57:45,760
Speaker 1: over the seven and nine hump. You just gave up

1156
00:57:45,760 --> 00:57:48,040
Speaker 1: a hundred and ninety three yards rushing at seven point

1157
00:57:48,120 --> 00:57:50,800
Speaker 1: one yards per carry. I mean, give me a break. Well,

1158
00:57:50,880 --> 00:57:53,520
Speaker 1: I think Greg has talked about this. Lashawn McCoy is

1159
00:57:53,560 --> 00:57:56,000
Speaker 1: looking good the last few weeks, and Anthony Lynn just

1160
00:57:56,040 --> 00:57:59,200
Speaker 1: deserves the bulk of the credit. He's He's steeped in

1161
00:57:59,240 --> 00:58:01,840
Speaker 1: the running game. He's not a passing game guy. He

1162
00:58:01,960 --> 00:58:04,360
Speaker 1: has always been a running backs coach, and they are

1163
00:58:04,400 --> 00:58:07,200
Speaker 1: getting it done on the ground. Well, whatever Greg Roman

1164
00:58:07,280 --> 00:58:10,000
Speaker 1: was doing before wasn't working. And when Lynn came in,

1165
00:58:10,480 --> 00:58:13,000
Speaker 1: he took all of the players and asked them what

1166
00:58:13,240 --> 00:58:16,040
Speaker 1: they liked to do and what plays that they felt

1167
00:58:16,120 --> 00:58:18,520
Speaker 1: like they were good at, and what they wanted to

1168
00:58:18,640 --> 00:58:21,320
Speaker 1: run and then he made a game plan based around that.

1169
00:58:21,640 --> 00:58:26,960
Speaker 1: It's a novel idea, as I mean, wouldn't that work

1170
00:58:27,000 --> 00:58:29,360
Speaker 1: in any other place? Ask her a police what they

1171
00:58:29,520 --> 00:58:31,080
Speaker 1: like to do and what they're good at. I think

1172
00:58:31,120 --> 00:58:33,919
Speaker 1: that the seed of course coaches do that. They talked

1173
00:58:33,920 --> 00:58:36,560
Speaker 1: to their players, especially the quarterbacks, about what what players

1174
00:58:36,640 --> 00:58:39,400
Speaker 1: they what plays they like the best. Makes sense, but

1175
00:58:39,520 --> 00:58:41,160
Speaker 1: it's not a way. It's not a bad way to

1176
00:58:41,320 --> 00:58:43,840
Speaker 1: start off. Your role is to actually show that you're

1177
00:58:43,880 --> 00:58:45,640
Speaker 1: open to their ideas and whether you use them all

1178
00:58:45,680 --> 00:58:47,840
Speaker 1: that's a different STORYSA McCoy is the best player on

1179
00:58:47,920 --> 00:58:51,800
Speaker 1: their offense, especially with Sammy Watkins hurt, and he's playing great,

1180
00:58:51,880 --> 00:58:53,720
Speaker 1: And the next best thing about their offense is their

1181
00:58:53,760 --> 00:58:56,840
Speaker 1: offensive line and it's playing better. I mean Tyrod Taylor hasn't.

1182
00:58:56,880 --> 00:58:59,520
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say his play has particularly changed the last

1183
00:58:59,560 --> 00:59:01,720
Speaker 1: three weeks. The defense in the running game, How would

1184
00:59:01,760 --> 00:59:04,919
Speaker 1: that work? Say with Odell Beckham, just like you crowd

1185
00:59:04,960 --> 00:59:06,320
Speaker 1: towards him and he's like, throw it to me every

1186
00:59:06,360 --> 00:59:08,840
Speaker 1: time every time. That's how we went. Yeah, that's true.

1187
00:59:08,840 --> 00:59:11,920
Speaker 1: It's it wouldn't really work that way. I mean, this

1188
00:59:12,120 --> 00:59:17,760
Speaker 1: Bill's defense has Lorenzo Alexander as the NFL's leading sack artist.

1189
00:59:17,800 --> 00:59:19,280
Speaker 1: The last time we were in the studio, we're talking

1190
00:59:19,280 --> 00:59:23,040
Speaker 1: about Marcus Golden as the surprising one. Now it's Lorenzo Alexander.

1191
00:59:23,080 --> 00:59:25,680
Speaker 1: It's another game where Preston Brown and Zach Brown. I mean,

1192
00:59:26,120 --> 00:59:29,080
Speaker 1: I mean, there wasn't there wasn't play in this game

1193
00:59:29,120 --> 00:59:32,760
Speaker 1: where Tyrod Taylor, second year starter, lined up behind guard

1194
00:59:32,800 --> 00:59:35,960
Speaker 1: as the as the ball shotgun past him for an issue,

1195
00:59:36,040 --> 00:59:38,320
Speaker 1: but an all time I have to it was a

1196
00:59:38,360 --> 00:59:40,200
Speaker 1: little bit of a low point. They dug themselves out.

1197
00:59:40,400 --> 00:59:42,680
Speaker 1: I mean, I've taken Rex Ryan to task a million

1198
00:59:42,800 --> 00:59:45,960
Speaker 1: times as of others on the show, and uh, you

1199
00:59:46,040 --> 00:59:49,160
Speaker 1: know this is Rex Ryan saving his job over the

1200
00:59:49,240 --> 00:59:52,280
Speaker 1: last three weeks. Get get used to it. They're hosting

1201
00:59:52,360 --> 00:59:56,000
Speaker 1: the forty niners next week and then they're going to Miami.

1202
00:59:56,560 --> 00:59:58,800
Speaker 1: And if your power ranking the teams, that might be

1203
00:59:58,960 --> 01:00:00,760
Speaker 1: the you know, two of the word three teams in

1204
01:00:00,840 --> 01:00:03,160
Speaker 1: the in the league. And I know the Bills aren't

1205
01:00:03,680 --> 01:00:06,200
Speaker 1: a guaranteed win any week, but the way they're playing,

1206
01:00:06,240 --> 01:00:07,960
Speaker 1: they got a real chance to be five and two

1207
01:00:08,080 --> 01:00:10,600
Speaker 1: and write in it well, and we're about we're about

1208
01:00:10,720 --> 01:00:14,320
Speaker 1: nineties six hours removed from taking contra or to town

1209
01:00:14,960 --> 01:00:18,000
Speaker 1: for putting the Bills up at his twelfth best team

1210
01:00:18,120 --> 01:00:21,600
Speaker 1: ranking in our power Poll. Maybe Connors simply wrote this

1211
01:00:21,800 --> 01:00:24,840
Speaker 1: rankings from December while the rest of us were in October. Well,

1212
01:00:24,880 --> 01:00:27,720
Speaker 1: he also ranked the forty niners really high. Never know

1213
01:00:27,840 --> 01:00:32,800
Speaker 1: what can happen. He's a wild card, total wild card.

1214
01:00:32,920 --> 01:00:34,640
Speaker 1: I know, you never know, as the Bills is a

1215
01:00:34,680 --> 01:00:37,080
Speaker 1: wild card. So he puts me more in the oracle.

1216
01:00:37,880 --> 01:00:40,960
Speaker 1: That is true. Let's move on to the Colts and

1217
01:00:41,200 --> 01:00:45,080
Speaker 1: the Bears. So Brian Hoyer, I mean it looks like

1218
01:00:45,320 --> 01:00:49,200
Speaker 1: he's a better option than Jay Cutler as well. They

1219
01:00:49,240 --> 01:00:53,720
Speaker 1: didn't win the game, but the Colts won three. But Hoyer,

1220
01:00:53,760 --> 01:00:57,320
Speaker 1: I feel like, is the better option in Chicago. He is?

1221
01:00:57,640 --> 01:01:01,919
Speaker 1: And yet what I don't know, what does it matter?

1222
01:01:02,160 --> 01:01:03,440
Speaker 1: What do you? What does it matter? They had their

1223
01:01:03,480 --> 01:01:08,080
Speaker 1: most yards in a game since, but they can't beat

1224
01:01:08,160 --> 01:01:10,640
Speaker 1: the Colts, you know, on the road. I mean, they're

1225
01:01:10,720 --> 01:01:13,200
Speaker 1: they're one in four. They're a team going nowhere. To me,

1226
01:01:13,720 --> 01:01:15,200
Speaker 1: neither one of those guys is going to be their

1227
01:01:15,280 --> 01:01:18,360
Speaker 1: quarterback next year. Well here's where. To me, it mattered

1228
01:01:18,440 --> 01:01:20,240
Speaker 1: for them to win this game, and they managed to

1229
01:01:20,320 --> 01:01:23,280
Speaker 1: do it. It's basically last year's Texans where if you're

1230
01:01:23,280 --> 01:01:25,480
Speaker 1: a Bears fan and you've been through the j Cutler

1231
01:01:25,520 --> 01:01:28,400
Speaker 1: experience and you're at this point just exhausted and focusing

1232
01:01:28,480 --> 01:01:32,480
Speaker 1: on the Cubs, then you have a team that's finally

1233
01:01:32,520 --> 01:01:34,640
Speaker 1: come to the conclusion that it's time to rebuild the

1234
01:01:34,760 --> 01:01:38,080
Speaker 1: quarterback position and Jake Cutler is no longer just going

1235
01:01:38,120 --> 01:01:40,360
Speaker 1: to be presumed to be the starter. I will say

1236
01:01:40,400 --> 01:01:43,360
Speaker 1: one thing that the weak Cutler goes out is the

1237
01:01:43,400 --> 01:01:45,480
Speaker 1: week that they finally got rid of the most boring

1238
01:01:45,520 --> 01:01:49,920
Speaker 1: backfield in sports and found a real running back. I

1239
01:01:49,960 --> 01:01:52,439
Speaker 1: don't know what's well, what's what's going on with this team?

1240
01:01:52,440 --> 01:01:54,439
Speaker 1: Where they didn't see this earlier in the year. Maybe

1241
01:01:54,480 --> 01:01:56,800
Speaker 1: he wasn't showing it, but I mean, you got a guy.

1242
01:01:57,200 --> 01:02:00,120
Speaker 1: Why is it the year of teams playing in the

1243
01:02:00,280 --> 01:02:02,920
Speaker 1: worst running back to start the season, only to realize

1244
01:02:02,960 --> 01:02:04,720
Speaker 1: a month into it, oh, hey we have somebody better.

1245
01:02:04,840 --> 01:02:07,160
Speaker 1: We got this guy Jordan Howard. The second straight week,

1246
01:02:07,360 --> 01:02:09,280
Speaker 1: he has a great game. He had a hundred and

1247
01:02:09,360 --> 01:02:12,160
Speaker 1: eighteen yards on the ground, forty five yards receiving at

1248
01:02:12,200 --> 01:02:14,640
Speaker 1: its touchdown. I mean, this guy he looked great at

1249
01:02:14,680 --> 01:02:17,760
Speaker 1: the combine. But now they're finally using him and we're

1250
01:02:17,840 --> 01:02:20,280
Speaker 1: finally seeing it on the field. Yeah, he he's a

1251
01:02:20,400 --> 01:02:22,400
Speaker 1: three down. I mean, he's a guy who's good in

1252
01:02:22,440 --> 01:02:24,520
Speaker 1: the passing game, and he's a good power back. He's

1253
01:02:24,520 --> 01:02:26,440
Speaker 1: not gonna make you miss or anything. On his fifty

1254
01:02:26,480 --> 01:02:28,760
Speaker 1: seven yard run, a lot of you know running backs

1255
01:02:28,800 --> 01:02:30,480
Speaker 1: would have scored a touchdown on that because he's not

1256
01:02:30,480 --> 01:02:32,640
Speaker 1: going to get the long speed. But he's fun to watch.

1257
01:02:32,760 --> 01:02:35,880
Speaker 1: He's good, and he gives them a little life watching them.

1258
01:02:36,280 --> 01:02:39,600
Speaker 1: But the Colts, the Colts in this game, we're the

1259
01:02:39,680 --> 01:02:41,280
Speaker 1: more important team to me because I think they can

1260
01:02:41,320 --> 01:02:43,480
Speaker 1: still matter because Andrew Luck is on their team and

1261
01:02:43,560 --> 01:02:46,280
Speaker 1: he played a really good game. Their offensive line gave

1262
01:02:46,360 --> 01:02:49,400
Speaker 1: up five sacks though to a team in the Bears

1263
01:02:49,440 --> 01:02:52,080
Speaker 1: that only had six all season going into this game,

1264
01:02:52,480 --> 01:02:56,440
Speaker 1: and the Colts got the ball back uh needing, needing points,

1265
01:02:56,600 --> 01:02:59,280
Speaker 1: needing a touchdown late in this game with under five

1266
01:02:59,320 --> 01:03:02,400
Speaker 1: minutes to go, and I started thinking this is gonna

1267
01:03:02,480 --> 01:03:05,440
Speaker 1: be an ugly week in Indianapolis if Luck can't pull

1268
01:03:05,520 --> 01:03:08,040
Speaker 1: something out. And he goes right down the field, including

1269
01:03:08,080 --> 01:03:10,200
Speaker 1: a long touchdown on a beautiful throat of t Y

1270
01:03:10,320 --> 01:03:12,360
Speaker 1: Hilton and gets the job done. What he needs to.

1271
01:03:13,560 --> 01:03:16,160
Speaker 1: He's been sacked twenty times and hit forty two times,

1272
01:03:17,080 --> 01:03:20,360
Speaker 1: and the Colts are still third in the NFL and scoring,

1273
01:03:20,440 --> 01:03:23,480
Speaker 1: behind the Steelers and Falcons. I think that speaks to

1274
01:03:23,600 --> 01:03:27,320
Speaker 1: him having a pretty good season despite everything around him

1275
01:03:27,400 --> 01:03:30,600
Speaker 1: being pretty poor. And it does, it doesn't. It speaks

1276
01:03:30,680 --> 01:03:32,280
Speaker 1: even though they're in that in the mix in the

1277
01:03:32,360 --> 01:03:35,560
Speaker 1: FC South. I mean it's hard for them to win games,

1278
01:03:35,720 --> 01:03:38,320
Speaker 1: you know. They They've had to have last second touchdown

1279
01:03:38,480 --> 01:03:41,600
Speaker 1: drives just to win to home games against Chargers and

1280
01:03:41,640 --> 01:03:44,520
Speaker 1: the Bears. It's just it's tough. He's playing uphill every week.

1281
01:03:44,880 --> 01:03:49,320
Speaker 1: I mean, this this division, you know, well we all

1282
01:03:49,400 --> 01:03:52,080
Speaker 1: kind of wasted some breath this offseason talking about the

1283
01:03:52,120 --> 01:03:55,440
Speaker 1: a f C South turning the corner, how exciting they'd be,

1284
01:03:56,080 --> 01:03:58,680
Speaker 1: and you know, things don't change as quickly as we

1285
01:03:58,720 --> 01:04:00,960
Speaker 1: want them to sometimes. This did vision still is probably

1286
01:04:00,960 --> 01:04:03,280
Speaker 1: gonna be won by a nine and seven team that

1287
01:04:03,400 --> 01:04:06,000
Speaker 1: is completely disappointing and get your airmailed out of the

1288
01:04:06,000 --> 01:04:08,280
Speaker 1: playoffs one weekend. I think this is the team that's

1289
01:04:08,280 --> 01:04:11,280
Speaker 1: gonna win it too. I think their defense is getting

1290
01:04:11,920 --> 01:04:14,920
Speaker 1: a modicum of health, whereas to start the year was

1291
01:04:15,000 --> 01:04:17,440
Speaker 1: unreal how many starters and important players were injured on

1292
01:04:17,480 --> 01:04:21,400
Speaker 1: that defense. And you get their cornerbacks healthy. Henry Anderson's

1293
01:04:21,400 --> 01:04:23,600
Speaker 1: coming back, who was their best defensive lineman last year,

1294
01:04:23,920 --> 01:04:26,160
Speaker 1: So you're starting to get a little bit healthier. Maybe

1295
01:04:26,240 --> 01:04:29,040
Speaker 1: they can keep people down to twenty three points a

1296
01:04:29,040 --> 01:04:31,360
Speaker 1: game instead of thirty. Healton has gone over a hundred

1297
01:04:31,400 --> 01:04:35,040
Speaker 1: and seventy yards last three games. Frank Gore number two

1298
01:04:35,080 --> 01:04:38,920
Speaker 1: nine on the all time list. Well, all all the

1299
01:04:38,960 --> 01:04:40,959
Speaker 1: credit to Frank Corp. But there were like four guys

1300
01:04:41,040 --> 01:04:43,440
Speaker 1: that were separated by like eighteen yards, so in one

1301
01:04:43,560 --> 01:04:46,160
Speaker 1: in the London game he shot past like three of them.

1302
01:04:46,280 --> 01:04:48,520
Speaker 1: He shot past another today. I mean, you know you

1303
01:04:48,560 --> 01:04:51,640
Speaker 1: saw it coming barring like a car crash. Veteran moved

1304
01:04:51,640 --> 01:04:53,560
Speaker 1: by him playing one last year just to move past

1305
01:04:53,600 --> 01:04:55,560
Speaker 1: all those guys does. It's a good good job him.

1306
01:04:56,160 --> 01:04:59,280
Speaker 1: Next up the Miami Dolphins at home. They were not

1307
01:04:59,760 --> 01:05:02,480
Speaker 1: a able to stop de Marco Murray and the Titans

1308
01:05:02,600 --> 01:05:05,680
Speaker 1: running game. Hard Rock Stadium tough place to play these days.

1309
01:05:05,760 --> 01:05:11,520
Speaker 1: They lost thirty to seventeen in this game. So I

1310
01:05:11,600 --> 01:05:14,240
Speaker 1: don't even know what to say about the Dolphins and

1311
01:05:14,400 --> 01:05:18,560
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill and this offense but I am encouraged by

1312
01:05:18,680 --> 01:05:23,120
Speaker 1: the run game in Tennessee. Yeah, I was ready to say, look,

1313
01:05:23,160 --> 01:05:25,720
Speaker 1: it looks like the Titans offense got healthy, but the

1314
01:05:25,800 --> 01:05:27,800
Speaker 1: defense got healthy in this game. I think the Dolphins

1315
01:05:27,840 --> 01:05:32,080
Speaker 1: only so. The Dolphins are just bad in every area

1316
01:05:32,200 --> 01:05:35,600
Speaker 1: on the field. There, They're tough, they're tough to watch.

1317
01:05:35,960 --> 01:05:40,120
Speaker 1: I know there's other options, but I think they're the

1318
01:05:40,200 --> 01:05:42,960
Speaker 1: most disappointing team in the league or the most dispiriting

1319
01:05:43,040 --> 01:05:47,160
Speaker 1: to watch, because there's just so little to feel good about.

1320
01:05:47,400 --> 01:05:52,320
Speaker 1: The Titans offensive line is ranked this week before this

1321
01:05:52,440 --> 01:05:55,040
Speaker 1: game even by Pro Football Focus as the number one

1322
01:05:55,160 --> 01:05:58,120
Speaker 1: offensive line in the league. The running game is working.

1323
01:05:58,280 --> 01:06:00,440
Speaker 1: A lot of what Mike Malarkey wanted to do is

1324
01:06:00,520 --> 01:06:03,440
Speaker 1: sort of is working. The passing game is not. But

1325
01:06:03,720 --> 01:06:06,240
Speaker 1: they got healthy in this game. They look good. Who knows,

1326
01:06:06,320 --> 01:06:08,960
Speaker 1: there only one game back now in a lousy division,

1327
01:06:09,040 --> 01:06:11,200
Speaker 1: and they have a few things coming together that at

1328
01:06:11,280 --> 01:06:13,840
Speaker 1: least you can feel good about. One other promising sign

1329
01:06:13,960 --> 01:06:17,560
Speaker 1: for the Titans offense. They they busted out some zone

1330
01:06:17,600 --> 01:06:20,360
Speaker 1: replays today, which have been kind of missing from their

1331
01:06:20,400 --> 01:06:23,160
Speaker 1: attack this year. But it's what Marcus Mariota does well.

1332
01:06:23,760 --> 01:06:26,160
Speaker 1: I mean, but the thing is with Tennessee because this

1333
01:06:26,320 --> 01:06:29,640
Speaker 1: is like the optimal spot where suddenly it's easy to

1334
01:06:29,720 --> 01:06:33,120
Speaker 1: feel hope about the Titans again. And they play Cleveland,

1335
01:06:33,280 --> 01:06:35,040
Speaker 1: they're not, and they're not Miami at least they're not.

1336
01:06:35,080 --> 01:06:38,960
Speaker 1: They're not. They're They've got a much better situation I

1337
01:06:39,040 --> 01:06:41,080
Speaker 1: think long term at quarterback right now and in other

1338
01:06:41,160 --> 01:06:44,240
Speaker 1: parts in place. But it just doesn't feel after what

1339
01:06:44,400 --> 01:06:47,080
Speaker 1: we've seen the sample size that it's sustainable when you

1340
01:06:47,200 --> 01:06:50,560
Speaker 1: run into real opponents, well their next four games or

1341
01:06:50,640 --> 01:06:54,840
Speaker 1: the Browns, Colts, Jaguars, Chargers. So they're very much alive

1342
01:06:54,880 --> 01:06:57,959
Speaker 1: in this division, very much. Yeah, and Adam Gate said

1343
01:06:57,960 --> 01:07:01,120
Speaker 1: after the game he is not benching in Tannehill for

1344
01:07:01,200 --> 01:07:04,040
Speaker 1: the rest of the year, so you can stop asking

1345
01:07:04,160 --> 01:07:05,840
Speaker 1: that question. I don't know if I've ever and he

1346
01:07:05,960 --> 01:07:09,800
Speaker 1: looked very agitated. This was a point I made last show.

1347
01:07:09,840 --> 01:07:11,640
Speaker 1: When you when you watch him on the post game,

1348
01:07:11,720 --> 01:07:14,160
Speaker 1: just do it. You'll see what I mean. He is.

1349
01:07:15,000 --> 01:07:18,760
Speaker 1: He is just being driven crazy by this Dolphins team,

1350
01:07:19,240 --> 01:07:21,320
Speaker 1: just like all the fans and pretty much everyone else

1351
01:07:21,400 --> 01:07:23,840
Speaker 1: that's worked for the Dolphins for the last fifteen years. Well,

1352
01:07:23,880 --> 01:07:26,960
Speaker 1: it's brutal watching them this year and when you look

1353
01:07:27,000 --> 01:07:30,600
Speaker 1: at the Titans offense. And you see how Mariota did today,

1354
01:07:30,680 --> 01:07:33,160
Speaker 1: three touchdowns. You see the way that they're running the ball.

1355
01:07:33,280 --> 01:07:37,440
Speaker 1: Mariota rushed for sixty yards this this game. The offense

1356
01:07:37,560 --> 01:07:40,120
Speaker 1: was really good and the Dolphins just can't get anything

1357
01:07:40,200 --> 01:07:45,640
Speaker 1: going that. Wow. Eight first downs for the Dolphins. Yeah,

1358
01:07:45,960 --> 01:07:48,680
Speaker 1: you just don't see that in the NFL. But this

1359
01:07:48,880 --> 01:07:50,640
Speaker 1: is and this is the third game like that that

1360
01:07:50,720 --> 01:07:53,240
Speaker 1: they've been like that. Thirty six plus minutes of possession

1361
01:07:53,360 --> 01:07:56,240
Speaker 1: for Tennessee. This is a malarkey, you know, dreamscape. This

1362
01:07:56,320 --> 01:07:58,520
Speaker 1: is what he wants. Even in the games where Tannehill

1363
01:07:58,560 --> 01:08:00,480
Speaker 1: has moved the ball, it's not until they're out of

1364
01:08:00,520 --> 01:08:04,840
Speaker 1: the game. It's it's depressing. Yeah, Tannehill was sacked six times,

1365
01:08:05,040 --> 01:08:11,880
Speaker 1: Mariota zero. All right, and that brings us to Sunday

1366
01:08:12,200 --> 01:08:16,000
Speaker 1: night football. All right. We had the Packers. Oh wow,

1367
01:08:17,640 --> 01:08:20,880
Speaker 1: that's great. Good, I'm glad that's still happening. Uh. The

1368
01:08:20,960 --> 01:08:25,040
Speaker 1: Packers and the Giant, Oh cool. Every Sunday night we're

1369
01:08:25,080 --> 01:08:28,439
Speaker 1: treated to this sound bite. Thank you, Sydney said, We're

1370
01:08:28,479 --> 01:08:33,560
Speaker 1: done perfect, all right? The Packers and the Giants. So

1371
01:08:34,520 --> 01:08:37,080
Speaker 1: the Giants. All week long, all we heard about was

1372
01:08:37,160 --> 01:08:41,080
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham Jr. And he's not having fun anymore and

1373
01:08:41,360 --> 01:08:44,200
Speaker 1: he's too emotional and blah blah blah blah blah. They

1374
01:08:44,280 --> 01:08:47,880
Speaker 1: go into the Packers in lambeau Field, Aaron Rodgers throws

1375
01:08:47,960 --> 01:08:52,559
Speaker 1: two touchdowns, two interceptions, and the Packers still end up

1376
01:08:52,560 --> 01:08:56,679
Speaker 1: winning the game twenty three six. We've all been watching

1377
01:08:56,760 --> 01:09:00,760
Speaker 1: this game extensively all night, Med and Clue did. So

1378
01:09:01,840 --> 01:09:05,280
Speaker 1: what really stood out to you, guys? I think Eli

1379
01:09:05,439 --> 01:09:09,320
Speaker 1: Manning struggling for the second straight week. Greg thought that

1380
01:09:09,439 --> 01:09:11,519
Speaker 1: Eli's game last week was bad. When he watched the tape,

1381
01:09:11,520 --> 01:09:13,479
Speaker 1: I thought it was too And then I'd say the

1382
01:09:13,560 --> 01:09:16,560
Speaker 1: last three weeks. He really struggled in uh st in

1383
01:09:16,600 --> 01:09:19,360
Speaker 1: wink three against the Saints too. Yeah, that seems like

1384
01:09:19,400 --> 01:09:24,120
Speaker 1: a trend yards. Yeah, I think what you said about

1385
01:09:24,120 --> 01:09:26,000
Speaker 1: the running game West, like when you're when you're the

1386
01:09:26,000 --> 01:09:28,519
Speaker 1: New York Giants and you're rushing for two point nine

1387
01:09:28,560 --> 01:09:31,200
Speaker 1: yards to carry, like it puts Eli Manning into a

1388
01:09:31,280 --> 01:09:33,400
Speaker 1: tough spot. They don't. They're just not a balanced offense

1389
01:09:33,439 --> 01:09:36,160
Speaker 1: at all. They've been savage by injuries. But to me,

1390
01:09:36,320 --> 01:09:39,680
Speaker 1: you look at teams, what what's their identity gonna be? Now?

1391
01:09:39,760 --> 01:09:41,439
Speaker 1: They spent a lot of money on defense. I think

1392
01:09:41,439 --> 01:09:44,080
Speaker 1: they're better on defense. They're they're not getting the pass

1393
01:09:44,160 --> 01:09:46,599
Speaker 1: rush that they expected. But to me, they're a team

1394
01:09:46,640 --> 01:09:49,519
Speaker 1: that's gonna be built on their passing game. They have

1395
01:09:49,680 --> 01:09:52,120
Speaker 1: to be a good passing game and they're not right now.

1396
01:09:52,280 --> 01:09:56,640
Speaker 1: And that's why they hired Bob McAdoo. Did I just

1397
01:09:56,680 --> 01:10:04,000
Speaker 1: call him Bob McAdoo. Ben Ben McAdoo and his offense

1398
01:10:04,120 --> 01:10:07,320
Speaker 1: that they wanted continuity for is really struggling. I mean

1399
01:10:07,479 --> 01:10:09,640
Speaker 1: it is the part of the team that's struggling right now.

1400
01:10:09,800 --> 01:10:13,040
Speaker 1: And McAdoo is struggling. He had a terrible challenge in

1401
01:10:13,120 --> 01:10:16,000
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, burning one time out on a play

1402
01:10:16,120 --> 01:10:18,839
Speaker 1: that wasn't likely to be overturned, and then he decided

1403
01:10:18,960 --> 01:10:22,320
Speaker 1: not to use a challenge on the Randall Cob catch

1404
01:10:22,479 --> 01:10:24,080
Speaker 1: at the very end of the game that I think

1405
01:10:24,160 --> 01:10:26,920
Speaker 1: could have been overturned and they would have gotten the

1406
01:10:26,920 --> 01:10:28,640
Speaker 1: ball back for a chance to win the game. And

1407
01:10:28,720 --> 01:10:30,840
Speaker 1: he sat there, sat on it with a time out

1408
01:10:30,880 --> 01:10:35,400
Speaker 1: in his pocket. Yeah. And not to mention Mike McCarthy

1409
01:10:35,439 --> 01:10:37,840
Speaker 1: in this game, the way that they started at the

1410
01:10:37,920 --> 01:10:41,639
Speaker 1: Packers and all the different personnel packages that they started

1411
01:10:41,720 --> 01:10:44,320
Speaker 1: the game with, it was so It was really interesting

1412
01:10:44,800 --> 01:10:46,360
Speaker 1: the way that they mixed it up, and then it

1413
01:10:46,439 --> 01:10:50,559
Speaker 1: kind of just went blah after that. Yeah, I think

1414
01:10:50,640 --> 01:10:53,640
Speaker 1: they want to get Time Montgomery involved, and then by

1415
01:10:53,680 --> 01:10:56,240
Speaker 1: the end of the game it's still Adams, Nelson, Cobb

1416
01:10:56,800 --> 01:10:59,960
Speaker 1: for the last two quarters. Yeah, it's a little interest.

1417
01:11:00,200 --> 01:11:02,720
Speaker 1: I agree. These are two offenses you know, that are

1418
01:11:02,760 --> 01:11:05,000
Speaker 1: mirror images in terms of the coaches, and they're both

1419
01:11:05,000 --> 01:11:07,960
Speaker 1: struggling right now, and there's gonna be some concern, I

1420
01:11:08,000 --> 01:11:10,280
Speaker 1: would guess in Green Bay about you know, Aaron Rodgers

1421
01:11:10,360 --> 01:11:12,240
Speaker 1: throwing for five point eight yards for tempt not having

1422
01:11:12,280 --> 01:11:15,240
Speaker 1: a great night. But they're a complementary team. They've got

1423
01:11:15,560 --> 01:11:18,200
Speaker 1: one of the better Packers defenses that we've seen in

1424
01:11:18,240 --> 01:11:21,280
Speaker 1: the Mike McCarthy era. Even with some injuries at cornerback tonight,

1425
01:11:21,520 --> 01:11:23,840
Speaker 1: this is a team that can win games with with

1426
01:11:24,040 --> 01:11:26,640
Speaker 1: an okay, too good offense. Maybe it doesn't need to

1427
01:11:26,680 --> 01:11:29,599
Speaker 1: be unbelievable when nobody's close to them. And run defense

1428
01:11:29,680 --> 01:11:32,479
Speaker 1: this year, I think they average less than two yards percared. Yeah,

1429
01:11:32,479 --> 01:11:34,479
Speaker 1: and that played out tonight. And then when you look

1430
01:11:34,520 --> 01:11:37,080
Speaker 1: at how New York jumped out to its fast start

1431
01:11:37,200 --> 01:11:39,920
Speaker 1: this season, it was you know, there was chatter that

1432
01:11:40,040 --> 01:11:43,000
Speaker 1: there three wide receivers might be the best trio in

1433
01:11:43,080 --> 01:11:47,200
Speaker 1: the league with Beckham, Cruise and Sterling Shepherd. Tonight they're

1434
01:11:47,240 --> 01:11:51,040
Speaker 1: held to a combined seventy yards. So it's you know,

1435
01:11:51,200 --> 01:11:53,320
Speaker 1: when you're shutting that down, you're the whole. There really

1436
01:11:53,439 --> 01:11:55,720
Speaker 1: wasn't away from New York to kind of get in

1437
01:11:55,800 --> 01:11:58,479
Speaker 1: to flow tonight and certainly not come back from the

1438
01:11:58,520 --> 01:12:01,280
Speaker 1: hole they dug two straights. The offense has been shut down.

1439
01:12:01,360 --> 01:12:04,840
Speaker 1: Speaking of Macadoo's issues and Odell Beckham, I don't think

1440
01:12:04,840 --> 01:12:07,519
Speaker 1: he has a hundred yard game this year. Wow, that's

1441
01:12:07,560 --> 01:12:10,599
Speaker 1: not an Odell Beckham problem. He established on film. How

1442
01:12:10,680 --> 01:12:13,960
Speaker 1: good he is. That's the coach on that late touchdown.

1443
01:12:14,040 --> 01:12:17,200
Speaker 1: You gotta get him the ball. Yeah, And this is

1444
01:12:17,280 --> 01:12:20,000
Speaker 1: terrible for they really needed this win, just in the division.

1445
01:12:20,360 --> 01:12:22,920
Speaker 1: They've lost three straight now now they're two and three,

1446
01:12:23,320 --> 01:12:25,840
Speaker 1: last in the division. When you have the Cowboys four

1447
01:12:25,880 --> 01:12:28,439
Speaker 1: and one, the Eagles three and one, Redskins even three

1448
01:12:28,479 --> 01:12:30,559
Speaker 1: and two, when they got a tough stretch they've got

1449
01:12:30,920 --> 01:12:33,280
Speaker 1: They've got the Ravens next, then the Rams. I know

1450
01:12:33,360 --> 01:12:35,679
Speaker 1: everyone likes to laugh at the Rams, but the Rams defense,

1451
01:12:36,000 --> 01:12:37,519
Speaker 1: you know, after what we saw tonight that could be

1452
01:12:37,560 --> 01:12:39,560
Speaker 1: a concern. Then they then a bye week than the

1453
01:12:39,640 --> 01:12:41,800
Speaker 1: Eagles and Bengals. I mean, that's they've got a tough

1454
01:12:41,880 --> 01:12:45,639
Speaker 1: month ahead. It's tough for the Giants right now. Sorry

1455
01:12:45,680 --> 01:12:47,599
Speaker 1: Giants fans out there, don't they always find a way

1456
01:12:47,640 --> 01:12:49,720
Speaker 1: to kind of like climb when they have these up

1457
01:12:49,720 --> 01:12:51,559
Speaker 1: and down seasons. They we think we want to write

1458
01:12:51,600 --> 01:12:53,280
Speaker 1: them off, and they climb their way back out and

1459
01:12:53,360 --> 01:12:55,560
Speaker 1: do something kind of magical and it's quite annoying or

1460
01:12:55,640 --> 01:13:01,840
Speaker 1: quite fascinating. Hanging around not Macado. Oh that's a good point.

1461
01:13:02,240 --> 01:13:04,800
Speaker 1: A lot of shared DNA though. Yeah, a lot of

1462
01:13:04,840 --> 01:13:07,639
Speaker 1: the conflin's like still hanging around the building, like using

1463
01:13:07,720 --> 01:13:11,200
Speaker 1: the bathroom. And you know, probably the team library, the

1464
01:13:11,280 --> 01:13:13,760
Speaker 1: team library. Yeah, I think teams are probably every nice

1465
01:13:13,800 --> 01:13:16,360
Speaker 1: library with every book. Yeah books, not every team bas

1466
01:13:16,520 --> 01:13:21,200
Speaker 1: novels as a big library. There's a bean bag chairs

1467
01:13:22,400 --> 01:13:24,160
Speaker 1: nice to let let him stay. I was trying to

1468
01:13:24,240 --> 01:13:26,160
Speaker 1: think of the book that you were reading up and

1469
01:13:26,280 --> 01:13:28,280
Speaker 1: I know a lot of players like to take out

1470
01:13:28,520 --> 01:13:34,880
Speaker 1: The Awakening by Kate Chopin That fell massively flat. But yeah,

1471
01:13:34,920 --> 01:13:36,200
Speaker 1: it was a book that I was reading on my

1472
01:13:36,280 --> 01:13:38,920
Speaker 1: off dayn quite enjoying it. Whatever happened to the book

1473
01:13:38,920 --> 01:13:41,519
Speaker 1: club that was going on here at your husband Ganza

1474
01:13:41,640 --> 01:13:45,400
Speaker 1: tried to start. I wasn't thrilled with the book. I think,

1475
01:13:45,960 --> 01:13:48,439
Speaker 1: well that was Mark's book. Yeah, my book got panned,

1476
01:13:48,439 --> 01:13:50,560
Speaker 1: and then I lost interest in every person involved in

1477
01:13:50,600 --> 01:13:52,640
Speaker 1: the grip that spasically what happened. I don't need to

1478
01:13:52,720 --> 01:13:55,040
Speaker 1: like enjoy a book and then have like all these

1479
01:13:55,120 --> 01:13:58,559
Speaker 1: text messages going back and forth. WHOA, your book really sucked?

1480
01:13:58,640 --> 01:14:03,439
Speaker 1: Like A didn't write it? Don't care? You care? Yeah

1481
01:14:03,600 --> 01:14:05,640
Speaker 1: you care. There were a lot of hot takes on

1482
01:14:05,720 --> 01:14:11,400
Speaker 1: that book, but spent like setting up some alternative lifestyle

1483
01:14:11,520 --> 01:14:14,800
Speaker 1: for Lee Harvey Oswald. I couldn't get into that. Yeah,

1484
01:14:14,800 --> 01:14:17,200
Speaker 1: I'm not not surprised. It's podcast has gone even more

1485
01:14:17,240 --> 01:14:21,400
Speaker 1: after it. We gotta get out of here, said, should
