1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,160 Speaker 1: From the fort in a second grade handoff, and I said, 2 00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:06,800 Speaker 1: ils sending to Lynch, him to the secondary. Still Lynch, 3 00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:09,399 Speaker 1: and he was in the top for the touchdowns. He's 4 00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:15,880 Speaker 1: looking long, he's launching it down for locks for the touchdown. 5 00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:21,919 Speaker 1: Mars Shawn Lynch and Russell Wilson taken care of business 6 00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:26,000 Speaker 1: in San Francisco. The Seattle Seahawks win twenty to three 7 00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:30,960 Speaker 1: on Thursday Night Football and the game didn't feel that close. Um, 8 00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:34,240 Speaker 1: Greg Rosenthal, I'm with Chris Wesley and we are here 9 00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:38,520 Speaker 1: the Thursday Night Crew to talk about a lackluster game. 10 00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:42,400 Speaker 1: And then we're gonna send it uh to Dan Hansas 11 00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:44,879 Speaker 1: and the three of us are gonna talk about all 12 00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:48,479 Speaker 1: the Week seven games, and we're gonna get Connor Or 13 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:52,200 Speaker 1: and Mark Sessler on the horn from London. That'll be cool. 14 00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:56,800 Speaker 1: But first let's talk a little Thursday Night football. This game, 15 00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:59,320 Speaker 1: we didn't expect it to be close, and it was 16 00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:03,040 Speaker 1: ridiculos less lee not close. The tone was set early 17 00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:06,840 Speaker 1: on the Seahawks side. Nine Marshawn Lynch runs on the 18 00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:10,880 Speaker 1: opening drive alone five inside the three yard line, and 19 00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:14,720 Speaker 1: then from the forty Niners side, Colin Kaepernick inauspicious start 20 00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:19,520 Speaker 1: beating uh equipment guy in the head ten yards deep 21 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,959 Speaker 1: on the sideline, and the equipment guy, according to the 22 00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:26,200 Speaker 1: Sacramento b had to get checked out by the Medical States. Well, 23 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:29,640 Speaker 1: that was one of three Kaepernick passes that sailed deep 24 00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:32,000 Speaker 1: into the sideline. I mean, at one point you just 25 00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:34,880 Speaker 1: yelled out like Colin Kaepernick is a danger to everyone 26 00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:39,440 Speaker 1: everyone in the stadium, Like he's uh, a health advisory 27 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:41,960 Speaker 1: should be around him when he's throwing those passes. And 28 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:45,640 Speaker 1: it was almost mallet like with with the way that 29 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,720 Speaker 1: he just throws these fastballs, even for short passes, and 30 00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:54,160 Speaker 1: just was really inaccurate and really clueless for what to 31 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 1: do on the third and long and he had a 32 00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 1: lot of third and longs tonight, and it it just 33 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,600 Speaker 1: felt like the the the play was even over before 34 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,960 Speaker 1: it started. He either got sacked or he just dumped 35 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,160 Speaker 1: it off for a two yard gain on third and twelve. 36 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,600 Speaker 1: He got no help. Really the the right sign of 37 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,440 Speaker 1: the right side of San Francisco's line with Jordan Devi 38 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:15,919 Speaker 1: and Eric Pierce and you can throw in the center 39 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 1: to Marcus Martin just got worked over by Cliff Avril 40 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 1: and Michael Bennett and then the forty Niners wide receivers 41 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 1: had two more catches than the forty quarter cornerbacks. It 42 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:30,640 Speaker 1: was just happened. It got very little help at all. Well, 43 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 1: some of that's on Kaepernick and Clint Balden didn't help 44 00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 1: him by jogging through some routes. He did not look 45 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:40,400 Speaker 1: a d percent. Vernon Davis had his best, you know, 46 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 1: game of the career. But it's I give all the 47 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 1: credit to the Seahawks defense. I mean, Michael Bennett, who 48 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,120 Speaker 1: have been talking up, has been having a great season, 49 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 1: really showed up on the statue tonight. Three tackles for lost, 50 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,440 Speaker 1: three and a half sex. Uh. Your boy. Cliff Avril, 51 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:56,440 Speaker 1: who's arguably been the most consistent defender on the team, 52 00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:58,799 Speaker 1: had had a big night as well. Yeah, they look 53 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,400 Speaker 1: to me, the Seahawks like they're back. They're back to 54 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,960 Speaker 1: being a playoff contender. I don't really knock them too 55 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 1: much for losing to undefeated teams the last two weeks. 56 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 1: I agree with that. Then again, I don't think are 57 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:12,640 Speaker 1: a measuring stick, but I thought the Seahawks were a 58 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:16,200 Speaker 1: talented playoff team before this. Well, the one difference tonight 59 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,480 Speaker 1: was the running game, and I think They've shown signs 60 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:23,520 Speaker 1: the last two weeks really of run blocking better, and 61 00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,640 Speaker 1: I think Marshawn Lynch looked a little better last week, 62 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:28,680 Speaker 1: and I think he looked the best that he's looked 63 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 1: all season tonight, a lot of juice coming off the injury. 64 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:33,519 Speaker 1: It just seems like he's all the way back from 65 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 1: whatever he was. It was the re established your identity 66 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,200 Speaker 1: performance for the Seahawks. It was they have to feel good. 67 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,600 Speaker 1: I mean, it reminded me so much of the third 68 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 1: the Thanksgiving Night game last year, which was nineteen to three. 69 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,840 Speaker 1: And that's the same Seahawks style of play. That's basically 70 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,760 Speaker 1: what they do even when they when they win, it's 71 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 1: not gonna be crazy, although this could have been. I 72 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 1: mean it was two hundred sixty nine yards to fifty 73 00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 1: nine in the first half. The only reason the score 74 00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 1: is even this close is Russell Wilson, who other wise 75 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,360 Speaker 1: had a very good night I would say very sharp, 76 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:06,520 Speaker 1: had two really ugly interceptions that that killed Drives. Yeah, 77 00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:09,000 Speaker 1: and they have a chance for a momentum they draw 78 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 1: the Matt Castle led led Cowboys next week, and then 79 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,080 Speaker 1: the box Well, how do you know, I mean, you're 80 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:17,599 Speaker 1: saying Matt Castle led like that's a bad thing for 81 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 1: the Cowboys. Maybe that's maybe a certainly a great thing 82 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 1: for the seas Maybe Matt Castle is gonna leader rejuvenation. 83 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 1: Yeah no, I don't want to spoil anything later in 84 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,560 Speaker 1: the show. Uh So, I guess that's it. I think 85 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,599 Speaker 1: we I think the forty Niners are just they are. 86 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,039 Speaker 1: They're the worst team in the NFC West by far. 87 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 1: They've put it up three of the worst performances we've 88 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,080 Speaker 1: seen by any team all year. They are only four 89 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 1: times all year has have teams had ten first downs 90 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 1: are less in a game, and three of those games 91 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 1: were by the forty Niners. When they're when they play badly, 92 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 1: nobody looks worse. It's amazing. Not that long ago Colin Kaepernick, 93 00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 1: uh would have been taken by people like myself and 94 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 1: and others as as the guy if you're looking long term, 95 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:05,080 Speaker 1: Kaepernick or Russell Wilson, Like who do you take? And 96 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:07,160 Speaker 1: now it's like Kaepernick, I don't even know if he's 97 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:09,720 Speaker 1: gonna be on the team next year. Yeah, that's it's 98 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:13,360 Speaker 1: telling how far he's fallen. So that's it for the Seahawks. 99 00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 1: Three over the forty Niners. Let's get it to Dan 100 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 1: and the rest of the week seven sleep Do you 101 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 1: Around the NFL Podcast doesn't watch soccer?

It's double G and that's it. 108 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,720 Speaker 1: That's all it says. The second G takes the place 109 00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 1: of the I feel y by the way. That's it. 110 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:55,240 Speaker 1: Unnecessarily hostile intro. We do watch soccer, and uh and 111 00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,040 Speaker 1: to put it on the same week as the London game, 112 00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:00,960 Speaker 1: you know we're we're obviously soccer the biggest sports. Seems 113 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 1: like an unnecessary show. I love soccer. Now I'm into soccer. Well, 114 00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 1: let's come down. You don't love it. You don't watch 115 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:09,200 Speaker 1: I love watching. I loved getting into it. If I 116 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,160 Speaker 1: had more time, if I was younger, you know, I 117 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,520 Speaker 1: would really get into If you're a younger man, I 118 00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:17,520 Speaker 1: played soccer. You were good. I've heard you were a 119 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 1: good soccer player. Was I think I leved my team 120 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,960 Speaker 1: and goals every year I played. I'm a lefty, actually 121 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:27,920 Speaker 1: I'm both. I imagine with my feet. I imagine it 122 00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 1: was the type. You know, you're kind of hear that, ladies, 123 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 1: you're kind of like the male version of Abby Womback, 124 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 1: like a big bruiser, pushing people around and getting some 125 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,320 Speaker 1: headers near the goal. I've been told I I bear 126 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 1: a resemblance to Wayne Rooney. M hm. Do they have 127 00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 1: enforcers in soccer? No? I mean, well they probably do. 128 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,039 Speaker 1: What do I know? So? This is the this is 129 00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:55,279 Speaker 1: the Thursday night, early Friday edition of the Around the 130 00:06:55,360 --> 00:07:00,640 Speaker 1: NFL podcast. You just heard, uh, Wes and Greg recap 131 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:04,920 Speaker 1: the Thursday night NFC West matchup between the Seattle Seahawks 132 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:08,680 Speaker 1: and San Francisco forty Niners. Uh, that is one of 133 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:13,679 Speaker 1: let's see here, four teams on BIBRAE that's correct case. 134 00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 1: So that means that means fourteen games. That means one 135 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 1: played already, makest. So we got thirteen games to talk 136 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:25,400 Speaker 1: about today. But what about the London game? Doesn't that 137 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 1: change things? What does that have to do with anything? Well, 138 00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:31,080 Speaker 1: you know, the time difference. I thought maybe jet like 139 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,640 Speaker 1: I don't know, if that just changes the math, I 140 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:35,680 Speaker 1: don't think so. Listen. As I said, I once got 141 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,360 Speaker 1: a thirty nine on a state mandated math tests. So 142 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,840 Speaker 1: don't bring in the idea of time and space. I'm 143 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,440 Speaker 1: just unnecessary. I'm just looking forward to going across the 144 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 1: pond for the first time ever in Around the NFL 145 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:49,960 Speaker 1: podcast history. That is good, and we will get Connor 146 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 1: and Mark on the phone. That's that will be exciting. Uh. 147 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,320 Speaker 1: What else is going on today before we came up? Uh?

Turtle, how's 170 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:12,200 Speaker 1: your sneakers scheme going? I think I'm every nobody wants 171 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:15,880 Speaker 1: to be Turtle Marks Turtle, that's not right. It's out 172 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,360 Speaker 1: of here. It was no. It was good though, Mark, 173 00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:22,160 Speaker 1: greg you talked about your watchability scale where the Jets 174 00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,440 Speaker 1: are a little too low in my opinion, but make 175 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 1: sure you check that out. It might have been that 176 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,520 Speaker 1: might have been unfair. We did get one just since 177 00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:32,680 Speaker 1: it was hashtag watch rankings, the number one team on 178 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:34,640 Speaker 1: his list. That's one of the worst quarterbacks in the unit. 179 00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:36,800 Speaker 1: But they play fun games to watch and it's there 180 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,680 Speaker 1: it's interesting. I've seen what the Peyton Manny and the 181 00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:42,920 Speaker 1: Broncos because every game is down to the wire and 182 00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:45,560 Speaker 1: the defense is great and Wade Phillips and it's fun 183 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:47,679 Speaker 1: to watch. I like to see Peyton Manning kind of 184 00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:51,280 Speaker 1: trying to figure that's a classic twenty one century Greg 185 00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 1: knows that he's doing. He's been working on the internet 186 00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 1: for a while. You get the people talking whether whether 187 00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:59,360 Speaker 1: they you know, I didn't think agree. If you get 188 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,760 Speaker 1: people click king and tweeting and hitting that common sex show, 189 00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,320 Speaker 1: you're doing your job. You're basically saying he's the Skip 190 00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:09,040 Speaker 1: Bayliss of digital content. I'll give you a bag. You know. 191 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:11,160 Speaker 1: The proof is in the pudding. I assigned that game 192 00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:13,079 Speaker 1: to myself last week because I wanted to watch some 193 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,720 Speaker 1: Broncos Browns. So we have, as I said, we have 194 00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:18,240 Speaker 1: thirteen games to get to. So why don't we do it? 195 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:21,360 Speaker 1: Why don't we get going? And we'll start with the 196 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,640 Speaker 1: early games as we always do. Uh, we'll start with 197 00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:27,720 Speaker 1: the No Aldens Saints, who got a really big win 198 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:32,079 Speaker 1: on third last Thursday over the Falcons, breaking the falcons 199 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:35,760 Speaker 1: um perfect start to their season. Unfortunately for the Saints, 200 00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:37,720 Speaker 1: there's still only two and four, and now they travel 201 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,640 Speaker 1: to Indianapolis to face the cults. The cults. You know, 202 00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:42,679 Speaker 1: they put up a nice fight against the Patriots. They 203 00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:45,200 Speaker 1: didn't get embarrassed, which I guess makes it a victory. 204 00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:49,920 Speaker 1: But then they embarrass themselves with the what w T F? Fake? 205 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:53,320 Speaker 1: Is that? What is that? What everybody named it? There 206 00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:56,199 Speaker 1: were a few snap food was the one from Bill Barnwell. 207 00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 1: I liked that's not bad? Um so? Yes, so the 208 00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,840 Speaker 1: Colts um uh fell to three and three, but that's 209 00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:04,880 Speaker 1: still first place in a f C South. Greg, we'll 210 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:08,440 Speaker 1: start with you on this. When you saw from Drew 211 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:11,400 Speaker 1: Brees and company, does that give you hope, I know you, 212 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:14,080 Speaker 1: like your closet Saints fan on some level, hope that 213 00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:15,800 Speaker 1: the Saints are gonna be a frisky team this year 214 00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:18,320 Speaker 1: after a really bad start. Yeah, this is the key 215 00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:20,280 Speaker 1: game or a key game for them. And if you 216 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 1: look at their schedule, the next truly good pass rush 217 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,960 Speaker 1: they face is week thirteen, And I thought that was 218 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,320 Speaker 1: the key last week is they got the ball out 219 00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:31,920 Speaker 1: of Drew Brees hands. If you can protect Breeze, I 220 00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:34,040 Speaker 1: think they're gonna have a chance each in every week 221 00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,120 Speaker 1: and the Colts don't have a great pass rush. The 222 00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:39,800 Speaker 1: Colts have been consistently bad. I think the Saints have 223 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:41,360 Speaker 1: caught some bad breaks to be too and four, But 224 00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:43,880 Speaker 1: I don't think they're a very good team. So the 225 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:46,040 Speaker 1: Saints fans I know this week because I follow you know, 226 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:47,760 Speaker 1: I'm friends with them and follow some of them. They're 227 00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:50,240 Speaker 1: really excited that one of them they may can turn 228 00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:52,040 Speaker 1: this season around. But it's like turn it around to 229 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:54,520 Speaker 1: what I think it's like turning around to eight and eight. 230 00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:56,200 Speaker 1: You know, I don't think them for what. I don't 231 00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:59,480 Speaker 1: think it's turning around for anything exciting? So bad in 232 00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 1: best case area battle of two sore armed quarterbacks who 233 00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:05,400 Speaker 1: would no longer go down the field. Yeah that's although 234 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:08,400 Speaker 1: Andrew Luck has six tds in his last five quarters 235 00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:11,160 Speaker 1: after only throwing four in his first eleven quarters of 236 00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:15,360 Speaker 1: the season. Maybe he's turning the turning a new page here. Yeah, 237 00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:17,320 Speaker 1: what do we see from Andrew looking against the Patriots? 238 00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:20,120 Speaker 1: Did he look like a guy that's not close to himself? 239 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:23,320 Speaker 1: He looked like he got his His pocket presence, which 240 00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:26,600 Speaker 1: was so notably off the first three games, was much 241 00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:29,000 Speaker 1: more improved, and he made several nice plays on the 242 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:31,160 Speaker 1: run and and really took off from the pocket a 243 00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:33,120 Speaker 1: few times and did well. I was more impressed with 244 00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,559 Speaker 1: his legs and his arm. Well. In the second half, 245 00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:38,640 Speaker 1: he reverted back to some of the things we saw 246 00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:41,400 Speaker 1: in the first five weeks when he was healthy, which 247 00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:43,200 Speaker 1: is that he was spraying passes. Ye. I mean, he 248 00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:46,280 Speaker 1: just was missing throws and when they kind of adjusted 249 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:49,880 Speaker 1: a halftime, took away some of the underneath receivers. You know, 250 00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:52,120 Speaker 1: if if they're this is a Colts team that should 251 00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:54,280 Speaker 1: be throwing the ball down the field. You have Moncrief, 252 00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:56,959 Speaker 1: you have Hilton, you have door set and they really 253 00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,480 Speaker 1: haven't been a downfield team this year. That's that's what 254 00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:01,000 Speaker 1: they should be. I don't think they're gonna be a 255 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,720 Speaker 1: great team if if they're dinking and duncan. I agree. 256 00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:08,200 Speaker 1: We all picked the Colts, with the exception of Connor 257 00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:13,040 Speaker 1: or who's you know, great renegade of picks. Connor went 258 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:15,200 Speaker 1: with the Saints, so he's riding heart of the Saints. 259 00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:16,920 Speaker 1: I picked the Saints last week, got a hero out 260 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:19,480 Speaker 1: of it if we still did those but now Connor 261 00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:22,240 Speaker 1: is going for it. Um, who knows. I feel like 262 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:23,840 Speaker 1: I don't know. I got a feeling now and they've 263 00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:28,319 Speaker 1: we forked the Saints. Maybe it could be a little frisky. Yeah, 264 00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:32,240 Speaker 1: maybe they gotta win this game. After the Colts put 265 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:34,680 Speaker 1: on him, you won't be the defense is the defense 266 00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:36,760 Speaker 1: is so bad. I think they they can improve to 267 00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:39,319 Speaker 1: what they've been in those disappointing Sean Payton hears it's 268 00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:42,160 Speaker 1: like seven and nine. Okay, see you, but your boy, bro, 269 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:47,439 Speaker 1: it's pretty good stories of the year. Moving on the 270 00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:51,480 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers. They will go without Ben Roethlisberger, most likely 271 00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:55,280 Speaker 1: for another week. Uh Landry Jones, who came on in 272 00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 1: to replace an injured Mike Vick through two touchdown passes 273 00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:01,120 Speaker 1: we talked about had a little bit in our last show. 274 00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:02,959 Speaker 1: He looked pretty good, but got a lot of help 275 00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:04,760 Speaker 1: from Martavis Bryan, So we don't know what we're gonna 276 00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:07,839 Speaker 1: see from him now. They've traveled to Kansas City to 277 00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:10,840 Speaker 1: face the Chiefs. What else can be said about the Chiefs. 278 00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:13,640 Speaker 1: They're one in five, They're they're hard to watch. I 279 00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:16,120 Speaker 1: I pitched the idea of not even covering them on 280 00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:18,200 Speaker 1: around the NFL until they get a little more exciting, 281 00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,240 Speaker 1: but that wouldn't be fair. The Chiefs fans create some 282 00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:23,720 Speaker 1: complications because they play again another team, they play other teams. 283 00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:25,440 Speaker 1: I get that, but you can only you could kind 284 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:28,000 Speaker 1: of you could play where you only really cover one 285 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,520 Speaker 1: of the teams in the game. You know. As boring 286 00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:33,920 Speaker 1: as their offense is, I was really impressed by their 287 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:37,680 Speaker 1: defense against the Vikings. Alan Bailey have one of the 288 00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,000 Speaker 1: best defensive end games you'll ever see in the in 289 00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:42,800 Speaker 1: the run games ever shut down. I mean he tackled 290 00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:46,360 Speaker 1: Peterson in the backfield himself more than once, probably three 291 00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:49,840 Speaker 1: or four times. Marcus Peters, rookie cornerback, had a great game, 292 00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:52,360 Speaker 1: and Justin Houston is always excellent. Yeah, they're not a 293 00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:56,480 Speaker 1: bad defense. They've struggled to play, you know, make big 294 00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:58,520 Speaker 1: plays in the key spots. Bailey has really had a 295 00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:01,560 Speaker 1: good season overall, and boy J Howard, Howard's had a 296 00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:04,720 Speaker 1: good season overall. It's it's not a team that's without talent, 297 00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:08,400 Speaker 1: even on offense, and yet they find ways to lose games. 298 00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:10,880 Speaker 1: I mean they're just in one of those ruts that 299 00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:13,520 Speaker 1: that every game comes down to the fourth quarter and 300 00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:15,480 Speaker 1: they find a way to lose each time. I mean, 301 00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:17,440 Speaker 1: this is the same Alex Smith We've really been seeing. 302 00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:19,520 Speaker 1: It's not like he's that much worse now than he 303 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:22,840 Speaker 1: was a year ago, which is so surprising because after 304 00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:24,360 Speaker 1: week one we thought he was gonna have his best 305 00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:27,360 Speaker 1: year ever. Well that's why he can't pay attention a 306 00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:31,600 Speaker 1: week one too much, Dane. Well, yeah, I mean week 307 00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:34,600 Speaker 1: one is just one. It's one of seventeen weeks. Greg, 308 00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:37,360 Speaker 1: That's the way I look at it. I was the 309 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:42,480 Speaker 1: middle doing something you hanged me out to try there. Uh, 310 00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:46,040 Speaker 1: how about the Steelers, yeah's about the Steelers, same thing. 311 00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:49,000 Speaker 1: I was more impressed with their defense, James Harrison in particular, 312 00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:52,440 Speaker 1: but also uh, Mike Mitchell having a really good year 313 00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:54,560 Speaker 1: at safety after he played through an injury last year 314 00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:57,360 Speaker 1: and was kind of a disappointment. Um, their defense is 315 00:15:57,400 --> 00:15:59,960 Speaker 1: way better than we expected. Yeah, especially in the secondary. 316 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:03,080 Speaker 1: I believe you said that on Sunday or during the 317 00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:05,200 Speaker 1: week West, but that really struck me when I watched 318 00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:08,800 Speaker 1: them too, that William Gay is playing really well. Um, 319 00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:11,080 Speaker 1: and they're making plays in the secondary, whether it's Blake 320 00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:14,560 Speaker 1: or Ross Cocrow sometimes, although he gave up some big 321 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:19,120 Speaker 1: plays and had some penalties against the Cardinals too. They 322 00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:20,720 Speaker 1: I mean, they deserve credit. I know they got a 323 00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:23,600 Speaker 1: little help on against the Cardinals, but to hold them, 324 00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:25,840 Speaker 1: you know, in terms of some penalties and miss field 325 00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:29,080 Speaker 1: goal um. But they made big plays to hold the Cardinals. 326 00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:30,640 Speaker 1: And I know they were giving up a ton of 327 00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:33,400 Speaker 1: yards that whole game, but it's about the scoreboard, and 328 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,040 Speaker 1: they only gave up thirteen points to that juggernaut of 329 00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:38,240 Speaker 1: a team is an amazing feet. I don't care how 330 00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:40,080 Speaker 1: they did it, how many yards they gave up. I 331 00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:43,880 Speaker 1: just may I switched my pick to the Chiefs. Yeah, 332 00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:46,960 Speaker 1: I think that makes sense. I um trying not to 333 00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,080 Speaker 1: make a pick here. Yeah, I kind of didn't. Uh, 334 00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:51,520 Speaker 1: I didn't put too much thought into it, I guess initially. 335 00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:53,760 Speaker 1: But you know, like like you were saying west with 336 00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:56,280 Speaker 1: Landry Jones, people are getting excited, Oh he should have 337 00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:58,120 Speaker 1: been playing over Michael Vick the whole time and all 338 00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:00,360 Speaker 1: that stuff. We still didn't see a ton from him 339 00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:02,800 Speaker 1: to think that he's able to play. And that's I don't. 340 00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:04,879 Speaker 1: I know. The Chiefs are not good this season or 341 00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:07,040 Speaker 1: they and now they have no Jamal Charles, which makes 342 00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,120 Speaker 1: things worse. But that's still a tough place to win 343 00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:10,760 Speaker 1: a game, and you're sending a kid in there with 344 00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:13,480 Speaker 1: hardly any experience that's gonna be a tough game to win. 345 00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:16,760 Speaker 1: He looked more poised than than I expected. He was 346 00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:21,000 Speaker 1: under control. Um Like you know, Mike Tomlin, I believe said, 347 00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:22,359 Speaker 1: he just did what he was supposed to do and 348 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:24,280 Speaker 1: didn't get offer any more praise than that. And that's 349 00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:27,040 Speaker 1: that's how you grade that performance. Well, he had some 350 00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:29,480 Speaker 1: ugly he had a couple of ugly throws, but he 351 00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:32,399 Speaker 1: also had you know, a third and twelve, you know, 352 00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:35,879 Speaker 1: nice throw into his own coverage, and he had a 353 00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,680 Speaker 1: very good timing throw on a back shoulder one to 354 00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:42,080 Speaker 1: mark Tavis Bryant. Those are NFL throws. That that was 355 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:44,840 Speaker 1: a deep out where he's throwing the ball with anticipation 356 00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:48,560 Speaker 1: before the receiver does something. And he has something that 357 00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:50,760 Speaker 1: Michael Vick you know, only had for a couple of 358 00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:53,760 Speaker 1: quarters and that Ben Roethlisberger didn't have all season. And 359 00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,679 Speaker 1: that's Martavis Bryant, who for one game looked like a 360 00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:58,919 Speaker 1: top ten you know. That was an amazing Yeah, he 361 00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:02,040 Speaker 1: had an awesome game, amazing performance because he showed you everything. 362 00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:05,920 Speaker 1: He had a diving catch, he had the leaping touchdown catch, 363 00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:09,119 Speaker 1: he had the yak I mean, he had the he 364 00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:12,639 Speaker 1: looked tough. I mean he adds another potential, you know, 365 00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:15,439 Speaker 1: not number one receiver, but a great number two receiver. 366 00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:18,359 Speaker 1: Fantasy tip. I don't get fantasy tips on Twitter, but 367 00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:20,680 Speaker 1: on the podcast I will. Okay, if you're not trying 368 00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,239 Speaker 1: to steal Antonio Brown from his owner right now, you're not, 369 00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:25,800 Speaker 1: You're not doing it right. And if before Big Ben 370 00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:28,199 Speaker 1: gets back and then he starts averaging ten catches a 371 00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:30,760 Speaker 1: game again, and if you're too stupid where you're looking 372 00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:33,960 Speaker 1: to trade Antonio Brown a week before Big Ben comes back, 373 00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:37,000 Speaker 1: you shouldn't be in the league anyway. But people are stupid, 374 00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:39,760 Speaker 1: That's true. We got de Marco Murray for a backup 375 00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:42,879 Speaker 1: tight end. You got yeah. I mean it's an upset 376 00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:45,200 Speaker 1: is getting mentioned again, but you I mean you guys 377 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:47,920 Speaker 1: should be all the way for that. Not a lot 378 00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:49,600 Speaker 1: of vine trap by the way, I think I could. 379 00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:53,000 Speaker 1: The commissioner should have stopped that. I mean, that's like 380 00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:59,800 Speaker 1: booting out of the league. I did, Patrick um just 381 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:03,320 Speaker 1: for the idea of um, you know, posterity. I did 382 00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:07,240 Speaker 1: send out a full breakdown on Twitter of our front 383 00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:10,720 Speaker 1: office structure. UM, so if you want to check that out, 384 00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:13,520 Speaker 1: but you should know that Chris Wesling, who is a 385 00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:17,240 Speaker 1: minority owner at four percent, is the chief draft consultant, 386 00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:20,560 Speaker 1: day to day consigliari to the majority owner. I like 387 00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:22,760 Speaker 1: being a consiglia It's a good role for me. Yeah, 388 00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:26,560 Speaker 1: you're my lieutenant, my dog in my lifeblood needs you, baby. 389 00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:29,000 Speaker 1: Mark and I both took the Chiefs in that game. 390 00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:34,040 Speaker 1: Moving on the Minnesota Vikings, Yes, they took care business 391 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:37,479 Speaker 1: against the Chiefs. Not a not a great performance by 392 00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:40,320 Speaker 1: any stretch, and Adrian Peterson was not able to get 393 00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:44,080 Speaker 1: going in that game. Now they go to Detroit to 394 00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:48,399 Speaker 1: face the Lions, who finally gotta win, just barely, another 395 00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:51,520 Speaker 1: grim game against the Bears, an overtime win in which 396 00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:53,320 Speaker 1: at the time there were times where it didn't look 397 00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:55,919 Speaker 1: like anybody was gonna win, but ultimately it was the 398 00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:59,080 Speaker 1: Lions getting their first win of the season. Greg, Can 399 00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:01,320 Speaker 1: you make a case why the Lions will again be 400 00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:05,040 Speaker 1: frisky and get maybe win number two? Oh? Yeah, because 401 00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:06,840 Speaker 1: I think the Lions remind me a lot of the 402 00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:09,679 Speaker 1: Saints and that they're one in five, but there's not 403 00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:12,639 Speaker 1: really that much of a difference between them and some 404 00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:14,679 Speaker 1: teams that are three and three or even four and 405 00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:16,600 Speaker 1: two or in the Vikings case three and two. To me, 406 00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:19,560 Speaker 1: these two teams have not been that different, uh, for 407 00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:22,080 Speaker 1: the most part this year. I would give the edge 408 00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:25,480 Speaker 1: in this game to the Vikings defense. Overall, it's probably 409 00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:28,480 Speaker 1: the one group out of the four you know groups 410 00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:30,600 Speaker 1: in this game that's been consistently good. It's a good 411 00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:33,120 Speaker 1: defensive line, it's good overall, and that's why I'd give 412 00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:35,640 Speaker 1: the Vikings a slight edge. The Vikings have to be 413 00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:39,480 Speaker 1: just absolutely thrilled with what their draft class showed. With 414 00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:41,320 Speaker 1: the exception of Trey Waynes that you had, they had 415 00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:43,920 Speaker 1: to watch Marcus Peters, who they bypassed for Trey Waynes. 416 00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:48,679 Speaker 1: But Stefon Diggs is legitimate that guy. He's quick, he 417 00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:51,320 Speaker 1: has great instincts, He's already a very good route runner 418 00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:54,000 Speaker 1: as a rookie, and he's gonna keep starting for them. 419 00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:57,200 Speaker 1: He's that good. Uh. Mike Wallace compared him to Antonio Brown, 420 00:20:57,280 --> 00:20:59,960 Speaker 1: which is very high praise. And then Eric Kendricks, set 421 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:02,359 Speaker 1: and round linebacker, leads a team in tackles, had a sack. 422 00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:05,280 Speaker 1: Danielle Hunter, the third round defensive end, is playing well. 423 00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:08,480 Speaker 1: T J. Clemmings at right tackle held his own. Their 424 00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:11,800 Speaker 1: rookies looked really good in that game. That that Lions 425 00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:15,720 Speaker 1: Bears game we were talking about downstairs, to me was 426 00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:20,199 Speaker 1: the ultimate Matthew Stafford J. Cutler game. I mean remember 427 00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:23,240 Speaker 1: a couple of three or four years ago when Cutler 428 00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:25,520 Speaker 1: got traded there or was playing pretty well, and people 429 00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:29,480 Speaker 1: were like, Oh, the NFC North, that's quarterback division, that's 430 00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:32,960 Speaker 1: the division with all the quarterbacks for the next five years. 431 00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:35,439 Speaker 1: Watch out. But here we are five years later, and 432 00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:38,280 Speaker 1: to me, that was the defining Stafford Cutler game because 433 00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:40,320 Speaker 1: there was a lot of fantasy points. They're both better 434 00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:42,920 Speaker 1: in fantasy than reality. It was a lot of points. 435 00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:44,960 Speaker 1: It was just kind of like, let's just throw the 436 00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,400 Speaker 1: ball up and let our big receivers make plays. Oh, 437 00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:49,359 Speaker 1: and it's for two lousy teams in a game that 438 00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:51,640 Speaker 1: doesn't really matter that it would have been fitting if 439 00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:54,280 Speaker 1: it ended with no one winning. That was the best. 440 00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:56,760 Speaker 1: That was the best line from your QB index this week, 441 00:21:57,080 --> 00:22:00,840 Speaker 1: which is what two strong arm quarterbacks racking up fantasy 442 00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:05,800 Speaker 1: points signifying nothing. Yeah, well done than ww dot and 443 00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:11,200 Speaker 1: it QB ranks. It was. It was a better line 444 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:14,280 Speaker 1: than you talking about Matt Ryan's brain farts. Oh you 445 00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:17,639 Speaker 1: gave agree for that. Usually give me usually, you know, 446 00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:20,520 Speaker 1: point out the good vocabulary. You didn't like brain farts. 447 00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:25,640 Speaker 1: I think farts is beneath you for a column brain cramps? Okay, 448 00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:32,440 Speaker 1: that's fair. Arabiscuit would have been good. That makes no sense. 449 00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:35,040 Speaker 1: I had that would be a great editor. He'd be 450 00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:39,560 Speaker 1: a good editor. In fact, you are now the editor West. 451 00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:42,800 Speaker 1: When I run this outfit, everybody's gonna be in trouble, 452 00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:47,160 Speaker 1: not bad. Uh. Let's see who how did we pick this? Uh? 453 00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:51,400 Speaker 1: The old Zeuser and Connor or the Renegade both went 454 00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:55,240 Speaker 1: with the Lions, so that will be probably a close game. 455 00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:57,920 Speaker 1: Look forward to that. All Right, we've waited long enough, guys, 456 00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:02,360 Speaker 1: Let's do it. Let's get on the phone Miss Sydney. Um. 457 00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:07,879 Speaker 1: Our friends are correspondence overseas. Mark Sessler from the l 458 00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:11,320 Speaker 1: A desk, Connor Or from the New Jersey Haunted mansion 459 00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:16,120 Speaker 1: in London for the Bills Jaguars games. Are you there man? Hello? 460 00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:26,240 Speaker 1: Uh is a dream fulfilled We've talked about onto London 461 00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:31,240 Speaker 1: for years on this show and you guys are there. Wow? 462 00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:35,440 Speaker 1: Tell us how it is so far? Um? I would 463 00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:39,440 Speaker 1: say that, uh, there are many victories, there are many 464 00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:43,960 Speaker 1: positive things, but also some wild disappointments. Wow, right off 465 00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:47,560 Speaker 1: the bat, disappointments gets in. Tell well, I want to 466 00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:50,720 Speaker 1: know what are the disappointments. And let me preface this 467 00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:54,119 Speaker 1: by saying, it's a beautiful, wonderful place. But um, I 468 00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:57,680 Speaker 1: don't understand why the sink faucets opened the wrong way. 469 00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:02,800 Speaker 1: I don't understand the the the importance of and the 470 00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:06,119 Speaker 1: reliance on plain bread instead of rolls. It kind of 471 00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:13,280 Speaker 1: boggles my mind. I like, very specific complaints and and 472 00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:17,520 Speaker 1: and then just kind of you know, you know the 473 00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:19,639 Speaker 1: one I will say it that's even very patient with 474 00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:22,280 Speaker 1: our bad British accents. And I do like that you're 475 00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:25,280 Speaker 1: using a oh no, see you might have set the 476 00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:28,639 Speaker 1: wrong guys. Wait, you're using a bad British accent in 477 00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:32,399 Speaker 1: Great Britain. Well, you know what it was like we uh, 478 00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:34,720 Speaker 1: the first day that we were here, there was like 479 00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:39,320 Speaker 1: this enterprising reporter doing like this sub sidebar on on 480 00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:42,240 Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor, and it became like this thing where it 481 00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:45,119 Speaker 1: was like Tyrold, what was it like to escape the 482 00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:48,080 Speaker 1: tyrty of Joe Flacco in Baltimore? And like, you know, 483 00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:52,159 Speaker 1: it became this like rolling thing. And then all of 484 00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:53,840 Speaker 1: a sudden, like we were doing it in front of 485 00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:56,400 Speaker 1: like Sky Sports reporters, and then we felt I felt 486 00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:58,240 Speaker 1: really bad about it, but they thought it was funny. 487 00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:02,840 Speaker 1: And mark your thoughts and now as you've you've let 488 00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:05,439 Speaker 1: us know time and time again you did spend some 489 00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:09,800 Speaker 1: time in mother England as a youth. Your thoughts on 490 00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:14,240 Speaker 1: your return. I mean my sense is it's simple, this 491 00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:19,159 Speaker 1: is my home and I you know, Connor and I 492 00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:22,480 Speaker 1: we've been shopping for apartments because there is a high 493 00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:24,879 Speaker 1: percentage chance that we don't return to the States. I 494 00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:29,240 Speaker 1: understand that Connor is cynical about some niche elements about 495 00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:33,480 Speaker 1: this country, but overall, I have to give London an 496 00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:37,560 Speaker 1: a plus across the board. It's been I am also dealing. 497 00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:41,680 Speaker 1: I was asking questions of Rex Ryan and Greg Roman 498 00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:44,639 Speaker 1: today with a massive case of jet leg I'm not 499 00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:49,480 Speaker 1: I'm sub human at the moment, but it's been absolutely fantastic. 500 00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:52,240 Speaker 1: I've had a great time. I just got word from 501 00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:55,960 Speaker 1: Shadowy League figures already sent me a bulletin. Mark, you're 502 00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:59,800 Speaker 1: allowed to go to London again. Connor, You're never coming back, 503 00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:05,159 Speaker 1: never going back. I'm not shocking at all. What is 504 00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:06,760 Speaker 1: the all right, So let's get into the game a 505 00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:09,600 Speaker 1: little bit. Guys, Um, what is the vibe in terms 506 00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:12,520 Speaker 1: of the preparation. Uh, We're not gonna have Tyrod Taylor 507 00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:16,600 Speaker 1: playing obviously, Uh e j Manuel gets another start? Are 508 00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:19,399 Speaker 1: you guys? You're both covering one team each right? Is 509 00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:22,520 Speaker 1: that how this is working? Well? I mean we are, 510 00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:26,399 Speaker 1: but the Jaguars. What's very strange about any London trip 511 00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:28,520 Speaker 1: is that you can, you know, teams can decide when 512 00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:31,600 Speaker 1: to land and connor who's covering the Jaguars. They've not 513 00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:34,400 Speaker 1: even not even here yet, so we were we really 514 00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:37,040 Speaker 1: only covered the Bills And I can't think of a 515 00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:39,920 Speaker 1: team in the a f CT it's more depleted by 516 00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:42,359 Speaker 1: injuries right now. It's like they don't have Sammy Watkins. 517 00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:45,639 Speaker 1: We found out today the Tyrod Taylor won't play. That 518 00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:47,960 Speaker 1: you know, you've got a team that's completely banged up. 519 00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,240 Speaker 1: I think the Jaguars are gonna act the box against 520 00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:52,960 Speaker 1: the Shawn McCoy the entire time. And we've talked to 521 00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:55,280 Speaker 1: Roman today and he basically said that he wants to 522 00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:57,560 Speaker 1: run the kind of multiple offense that he had in 523 00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:00,400 Speaker 1: San Francisco, but he can't even get the same players 524 00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:03,199 Speaker 1: on the practice field for one week next, so it 525 00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:06,560 Speaker 1: almost feels a game that tilts in favor of Jacksonville 526 00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:08,959 Speaker 1: at this point. I slept in a little bit this 527 00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:11,560 Speaker 1: morning and woke up to news to Percy Harvin is 528 00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:16,639 Speaker 1: a wall and thinking about retiring. Is that true? Yeah? Um, so, 529 00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:19,800 Speaker 1: you know, like it was a report that Ian and 530 00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:24,359 Speaker 1: I worked on together. Basically, you know, he's he's thinking 531 00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:26,560 Speaker 1: about retiring. I mean, he's thinking very hard about it. 532 00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:28,600 Speaker 1: He's had this lingering, he had the labor and Tarren 533 00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:31,640 Speaker 1: Seattle and it was hard for him to get over. 534 00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:34,880 Speaker 1: He feels like it's still a painful thing and he 535 00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:37,080 Speaker 1: can't get to top speed. And so at this point, 536 00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:39,560 Speaker 1: you know, football has kind of become secondary and it's 537 00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:42,800 Speaker 1: it's a really frustrating issue for him. So he's he's 538 00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:46,600 Speaker 1: thinking about his life options. Wow. I mean when yeah, 539 00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:49,400 Speaker 1: and I think that for for the Bills is that 540 00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:52,680 Speaker 1: you know Madden, you know, does that drive you insane? Sure, 541 00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:54,399 Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, you have to 542 00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:57,480 Speaker 1: think about your long term viability. I guess, well, it's 543 00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:00,960 Speaker 1: not shocking everywhere person it is shocking is considering retirement. 544 00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:04,840 Speaker 1: But everywhere Percy Harvin goes, uh, their drama is to follow. 545 00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:08,040 Speaker 1: The Jets really maybe had the best Percy Harvin era 546 00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:10,720 Speaker 1: of any team so far because it was so short 547 00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:14,399 Speaker 1: and nothing could happen. And Connor, as I'm speaking, I 548 00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:17,640 Speaker 1: actually just got another bulletin from Shadowy League figures. You're 549 00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:21,520 Speaker 1: doing intrepid reporting on Percy Harvin and sources in London 550 00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:24,720 Speaker 1: about possibly retiring. You can absolutely go back. It changed 551 00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:30,040 Speaker 1: but super reassuring from the Shadowy League figure. Tell them 552 00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:34,479 Speaker 1: all thank you so much. A couple more things. You know, 553 00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:37,480 Speaker 1: you guys are obviously or Mark, I know, you know, 554 00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:41,000 Speaker 1: impressed by the British accents over there, particularly you know, 555 00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:44,360 Speaker 1: maybe by the women folk. Is anyone impressed with your 556 00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:48,200 Speaker 1: British your American accent? I should say, well, I mean 557 00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:53,040 Speaker 1: we've essentially been dealing with tasty sports reporters up to now, 558 00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:55,040 Speaker 1: so I you know, I don't have a huge takeaway 559 00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:59,080 Speaker 1: on that front. But we've come fresh from a trivia 560 00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:02,920 Speaker 1: contest at a fantastic British bar where I would just 561 00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:05,920 Speaker 1: say I could stay here for a thousand years. I mean, 562 00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:07,880 Speaker 1: it's just fant I would I want to move my 563 00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:12,520 Speaker 1: family over here. Never returned to America. Nice cats there, 564 00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:15,280 Speaker 1: Nice cats there by bringing the family up way and 565 00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:18,480 Speaker 1: I was definitely done Mark, what's the trivia questions? That 566 00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:22,040 Speaker 1: is it all about? Like Fawlty Towers and the Office 567 00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:27,240 Speaker 1: UK version. So what we rerecluded in, what we were 568 00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:30,160 Speaker 1: included into by some of the pub regulars was that 569 00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:33,240 Speaker 1: every night has a every trivia night has a theme, 570 00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:36,920 Speaker 1: and so the questions kind of weaveing in terms of 571 00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:41,040 Speaker 1: like categories science and history and geography. But tonight's theme 572 00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:44,560 Speaker 1: was very British, very appropriated. Was everything was based around 573 00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:48,720 Speaker 1: the rock band Queen sot Like everything had like related 574 00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:51,600 Speaker 1: back to like the answers would be like Freddie, something 575 00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:55,040 Speaker 1: for Freddie or like something related to the title of 576 00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:57,640 Speaker 1: a Queen album or something. So there's uh yeah, I 577 00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:00,200 Speaker 1: mean we've just been we were totally immersing ourselve in 578 00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:02,000 Speaker 1: the culture, is what I'm trying to say. I want 579 00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:03,760 Speaker 1: this all the show up in the articles just to 580 00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:07,040 Speaker 1: feel the vibes that are there, because you sound like 581 00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:10,560 Speaker 1: you're really becoming experts, isn't. Brian May, an astro physicist. 582 00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:15,920 Speaker 1: May one thing I have to say about the Bill. 583 00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:19,440 Speaker 1: The Bills are practicing about an hour outside of London 584 00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:24,240 Speaker 1: in a tucked away woodland It's basically just a clearing 585 00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:26,800 Speaker 1: in the middle of a forest. That's like a Sessler 586 00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:30,600 Speaker 1: fever dream. It is it is. Connor was there a 587 00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:32,960 Speaker 1: day before I was, and he briefed me on this. 588 00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:35,000 Speaker 1: But you need to see it with your own eyes 589 00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:39,200 Speaker 1: to see Richie incognito dancing around like a forest clearing 590 00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:42,600 Speaker 1: with a bunch of other like four pound gentlemen. I mean, 591 00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:45,320 Speaker 1: it is one of the most dar things I've ever 592 00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:49,680 Speaker 1: witnessed on any NFL landscape. The money was worth it 593 00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:53,480 Speaker 1: just for that last sentence, Mark sending you over there. 594 00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:56,520 Speaker 1: I think it's cool that two of our loyal listeners 595 00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:59,320 Speaker 1: from Great Britain, a Cabby and a police officer have 596 00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:03,360 Speaker 1: offered their services to Connor and Wow, I figured they 597 00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:05,880 Speaker 1: might need the police officer about that. How about that? 598 00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:09,000 Speaker 1: Has anyone recognized you? Number one and number two? This 599 00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:12,440 Speaker 1: is to the audience listening. If anyone over in London 600 00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:15,440 Speaker 1: happens to see Connor Mark, get a selfie with them 601 00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:18,480 Speaker 1: and send it to at around the NFL, we will 602 00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:22,040 Speaker 1: retweet it. So the first when I when I went 603 00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:25,480 Speaker 1: to the first Bill's practice, Um there was a young 604 00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:30,080 Speaker 1: freelance journalist Um from the Independent newspaper and he came 605 00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:32,720 Speaker 1: up to me and he said, are you Connor from 606 00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:35,000 Speaker 1: the NFL? And I said yeah. And the first thing 607 00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:36,800 Speaker 1: he said to me was, I'm really sorry about what 608 00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:41,760 Speaker 1: happened to Griff Whalen. That's awesome. It's like it was 609 00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:45,920 Speaker 1: like this amazing moment. But you know, uh add on 610 00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:48,720 Speaker 1: to that, I mean, uh, let's pay attention to the 611 00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:51,000 Speaker 1: twitter feeds.

But Greg, 659 00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:49,480 Speaker 1: you believe, you believe it in your heart that the 660 00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:53,040 Speaker 1: Texans are gonna make a run here. Well, I'm not. No, 661 00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:54,520 Speaker 1: I don't believe they're gonna make a run, but I 662 00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:56,320 Speaker 1: do believe they're gonna be in first place at the 663 00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:58,040 Speaker 1: end of this week, we have to make a bold 664 00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:01,960 Speaker 1: prediction on the website and for NFL now, and uh 665 00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:04,160 Speaker 1: I thought that the Texans, at least for now, could 666 00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:06,359 Speaker 1: go tell us to fork ourselves. You know what I'm saying. 667 00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:09,240 Speaker 1: We stuck the fork in them after a couple of weeks, 668 00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:11,399 Speaker 1: and it would not surprise me at all to see 669 00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:13,440 Speaker 1: them win this game. I just don't buy the whole 670 00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:17,560 Speaker 1: Dolphins resurgence. I think the Colts are a very mediocre 671 00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:19,600 Speaker 1: team and they could both be three and four in 672 00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:21,200 Speaker 1: the head in the NFC A f C South, I 673 00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:23,759 Speaker 1: couldn't agree more with There's been a lot of and West, 674 00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:26,800 Speaker 1: you're big on the Dolphins. I couldn't disagree more with Greg. 675 00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:29,279 Speaker 1: I'd be shocked if the Dolphins losing. Why do we 676 00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:31,400 Speaker 1: think all of a sudden, all the bad stuff we 677 00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:33,200 Speaker 1: were saying about the Dolphins, that it wasn't all Joe 678 00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:36,640 Speaker 1: filmanhow was a poorly constructed roster? Do we really think 679 00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:38,680 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, the tight ends coach, he beats 680 00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:41,239 Speaker 1: a crappy Tennessee team and now you know where the 681 00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:42,680 Speaker 1: quarterback gets hurt in the game, and now all of 682 00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:44,880 Speaker 1: a sudden, the Dolphins are have a good roster that 683 00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:46,919 Speaker 1: just needed a coach to figure it out. I don't 684 00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:49,359 Speaker 1: buy it. I said it was poorly constructed because if 685 00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:52,640 Speaker 1: their stars are not healthy and playing well, they can't win. 686 00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:55,960 Speaker 1: But they are healthy and playing well. Cameron camera Wake 687 00:35:56,040 --> 00:36:00,640 Speaker 1: dominated that game. Seeing Jeremiah Potassi try to block Cameron 688 00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:03,560 Speaker 1: Wakes speed rush, I mean that was futile. And then 689 00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:06,360 Speaker 1: Sue played well. Brent Grimes is back, Rashad Jones is 690 00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:08,759 Speaker 1: playing Pro Bowl caliber at safety and and was really 691 00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:10,960 Speaker 1: the only player who looked like he wasn't going through 692 00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:13,320 Speaker 1: the motions in September. I noticed he didn't mention anything 693 00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:16,000 Speaker 1: about their passing game because they still have a quarterback 694 00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:19,440 Speaker 1: who in theory is one of their stars, and you're 695 00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:21,520 Speaker 1: you're buying that. Tannehill, I thought he had one of 696 00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:23,720 Speaker 1: the if you take away his throws to Jordan Cameron 697 00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:27,120 Speaker 1: where I would I'm wondering if the coaching staff blames 698 00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:29,520 Speaker 1: Cameron for both of the interceptions. I thought it was 699 00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:31,239 Speaker 1: one of the best games of Tannehill's career. He even 700 00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:34,879 Speaker 1: hit some deep passes. They had their most rushing yds 701 00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:37,120 Speaker 1: of the season by what three minutes into the second quarter. 702 00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:41,959 Speaker 1: That jumped out to me more than anything, that Lamar Miller, 703 00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:45,000 Speaker 1: who was so good last season and for whatever reason, 704 00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:48,600 Speaker 1: maybe it wasn't a doghouse, but was really de emphasized 705 00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:51,560 Speaker 1: in that offense. Uh under fieldman. As soon as they 706 00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:54,560 Speaker 1: gave Lamar Miller the ball, he that changed everything for them. 707 00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:56,640 Speaker 1: But is that gonna happen on a week to week basis. 708 00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:58,160 Speaker 1: I did't need to see more to see that the 709 00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:00,200 Speaker 1: Dolphins aren't still a mess because I could just is 710 00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:02,960 Speaker 1: easily see them blow this game. They don't play great 711 00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:05,040 Speaker 1: at home, I could. I could see that. I don't 712 00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:07,000 Speaker 1: think anybody's gonna want to play the Dolphins the rest 713 00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:08,640 Speaker 1: of the year. People are gonna picture them as a 714 00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:11,279 Speaker 1: bad team, but they're gonna best Well, they won't if 715 00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:13,319 Speaker 1: they win this game. I mean, this is the get 716 00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:17,719 Speaker 1: out of jail free card game. They the winner here 717 00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:19,319 Speaker 1: is right in the mix. I mean, the Dolphins will 718 00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:21,160 Speaker 1: be three and three, forget their slow start. They'll be 719 00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:23,200 Speaker 1: in fine shape. They could be ahead of the Bills 720 00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:25,000 Speaker 1: at that point. I mean three and three, it's you 721 00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:28,200 Speaker 1: basically haven't even started this season. So for everything I'm 722 00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:30,439 Speaker 1: saying about not really buying them, it doesn't. It doesn't 723 00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:32,600 Speaker 1: matter what I'm thinking, they'll be back. They're right back 724 00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:34,759 Speaker 1: about where they expected to be. These are the two 725 00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:36,880 Speaker 1: teams that we forked that are most likely to come 726 00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:40,919 Speaker 1: back in Haunta. M hmm. That's an interesting point. That's 727 00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:44,080 Speaker 1: I don't really buy the Texans. I don't buy ai 728 00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:46,359 Speaker 1: of these teams. These are both at best eight win 729 00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:50,520 Speaker 1: teams at best. I don't say, I'm really surprised West 730 00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:53,400 Speaker 1: that you've turned uh toward the Dolphins here based on 731 00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:55,440 Speaker 1: that one game. But we need to see more than that. 732 00:37:55,600 --> 00:37:59,400 Speaker 1: More than that, we might even year right exactly. You 733 00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:00,680 Speaker 1: thought they were a good coming into the air, so 734 00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:02,080 Speaker 1: now you get a little bit of hope. And I 735 00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:03,719 Speaker 1: saw what they did to the Titans. It was a 736 00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:06,760 Speaker 1: very complete performance. I was impressed by them, and I 737 00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:08,640 Speaker 1: I think coaching can make it. If they were a 738 00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:11,000 Speaker 1: team that truly quit on Philpin and they looked like it, 739 00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:14,200 Speaker 1: I think that could turn them around. You give them. 740 00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:16,440 Speaker 1: It's not it didn't take a brain surgeon to make 741 00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:19,279 Speaker 1: the right move. But they did make the right move, 742 00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:21,879 Speaker 1: cutting film and loose when they did because they had 743 00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:25,080 Speaker 1: to buy and then they had too easy, easily winnable 744 00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:27,800 Speaker 1: games back to back that really could get the team 745 00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:30,000 Speaker 1: back in a good positive mindset. So they take care 746 00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:32,400 Speaker 1: of business here, maybe they'll get they'll get that confidence 747 00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:33,919 Speaker 1: going again. They will be a team in the mix. 748 00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:36,960 Speaker 1: This isn't Tony Sperano taking over a bad Raiders team 749 00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:38,960 Speaker 1: with with no talent on it. This is actually a 750 00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:41,719 Speaker 1: pretty talented roster at the top of him. I guess 751 00:38:41,719 --> 00:38:44,920 Speaker 1: I was questioning what kind of tactician they're getting in 752 00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:49,000 Speaker 1: Dan Campbell with virtually no experience, but they feel like 753 00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:50,840 Speaker 1: that's going to come back to get him a little bit. Well, 754 00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:54,279 Speaker 1: they have two coordinators that that are really running those 755 00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:57,000 Speaker 1: sides of the ball. So Campbell's job in theory is 756 00:38:57,040 --> 00:38:59,960 Speaker 1: to you know, kind of organize and rally the troops 757 00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:01,640 Speaker 1: and change a couple of things. I don't think he 758 00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:05,120 Speaker 1: has anything to do with the play calling on either 759 00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:09,359 Speaker 1: side other than he's probably telling uh Mark's boy Bill Lazer, hey, 760 00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:11,880 Speaker 1: run the football all the time, like that's that seems 761 00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:13,480 Speaker 1: to be to do. Yeah, that's probably what he's doing. 762 00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:16,840 Speaker 1: We have all taken the Dolphins to take care of 763 00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:21,279 Speaker 1: business uh in Miami. Moving on, it is the the 764 00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:24,719 Speaker 1: game with where the AFC East hanging in the balance. 765 00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:27,680 Speaker 1: The New York Jets and the New England Patriots, the 766 00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:30,680 Speaker 1: four and one Jets the five and oh Pats, a 767 00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:33,560 Speaker 1: game that really doesn't need too much more hype, but 768 00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:38,400 Speaker 1: it did get some. Greg Rosenthal early Thursday when the 769 00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:44,880 Speaker 1: plucky millennials manning the Patriots Twitter feed posted eight hashtag 770 00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:49,279 Speaker 1: TBT throwback Tuesday, uh image of the butt fumble, which was, 771 00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:52,000 Speaker 1: you know, for the Patriot way, that seemed to be 772 00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:54,120 Speaker 1: a little out of bounds and once it caught fire 773 00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:57,279 Speaker 1: better a little bit, we were fine with it. But 774 00:39:57,280 --> 00:40:02,279 Speaker 1: it's just like total as ch you're only hypocritical of 775 00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:05,880 Speaker 1: that organization to to play in that sense. And what happens, 776 00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:08,160 Speaker 1: they don't even stand by it. Once the people start 777 00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:11,000 Speaker 1: talking about it, they pull down the image. But you know, 778 00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:14,640 Speaker 1: this is this is the confidence, the overconfidence coming out 779 00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:19,320 Speaker 1: of Foxborough. Who cares? Who cares about social media manager 780 00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:21,960 Speaker 1: sending out a jokey tweet. I mean, it's not that 781 00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:25,200 Speaker 1: great of a tweet, but to act like anyone is 782 00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:28,160 Speaker 1: mocked outrage by the way, I forgot the message with 783 00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:37,680 Speaker 1: the image. This seems relevant. Oh that's oh hey, breaking news. 784 00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:42,759 Speaker 1: Social media manager has a poor sense of Humor or 785 00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:44,960 Speaker 1: two Core and marphill Cabinet. You know what the real 786 00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:48,040 Speaker 1: problem is all these social media goods are actually fans 787 00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:51,200 Speaker 1: of the teams that they work for, so that colors 788 00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:53,920 Speaker 1: their actions. This is but I will say this, and 789 00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:57,000 Speaker 1: I have been getting obviously as a vocal Jets fan, 790 00:40:57,040 --> 00:40:59,520 Speaker 1: I've been getting a lot of tweets from Patriots fans. 791 00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:03,120 Speaker 1: It really is. It's getting just tasteful. Greg. This this 792 00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:06,319 Speaker 1: any time you you questioned the Patriots or pump up 793 00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:08,360 Speaker 1: the Jets a little bit, it's like, we can't wait 794 00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:10,399 Speaker 1: to drop a fifty burger on you. We're gonna hang 795 00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:13,120 Speaker 1: fifty points on you this week. It's like it's basically 796 00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:15,279 Speaker 1: that you guys are your fan base is essentially the 797 00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:17,680 Speaker 1: bullies on the block that anytime they feel like their 798 00:41:17,719 --> 00:41:20,200 Speaker 1: challenge like, oh, we'll sock you good, it's like, well, 799 00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:24,800 Speaker 1: we're gonna score fifty on you. Man. Well, if if anything, 800 00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:27,040 Speaker 1: you know, from what I can tell this week, Jets 801 00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:29,879 Speaker 1: fans are really confident. A lot of people that aren't 802 00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:31,960 Speaker 1: even Jets fans think that the Jets have a very 803 00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:35,160 Speaker 1: guy I don't like that to win this game. Sheldon Richardson, 804 00:41:35,560 --> 00:41:38,279 Speaker 1: you know, looks good again. The whole front four. You 805 00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:41,080 Speaker 1: can get pressure upfront without having to send people, and 806 00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:44,319 Speaker 1: they will send people too. They've got cornerbacks that can 807 00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:47,560 Speaker 1: uh certainly slow down Edelman and Amndola one on one, 808 00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:50,800 Speaker 1: which is a great thing to have. It all sets 809 00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:52,400 Speaker 1: up very well for the Jets, and there's a lot 810 00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:54,160 Speaker 1: of confidence. I think people are taking this game a 811 00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:58,480 Speaker 1: lot more seriously, uh nationally and an't even in New England. 812 00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:01,000 Speaker 1: Then you're giving credit for if you look at the matchup, 813 00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:04,239 Speaker 1: the Jets defense, which is number one in several categories 814 00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:07,480 Speaker 1: right now, really does match up well against the Pats 815 00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:09,640 Speaker 1: because they do have that pass. As we've seen through 816 00:42:09,719 --> 00:42:11,879 Speaker 1: the years, what's the way to get to Tom Brady? 817 00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:13,640 Speaker 1: You you're get in his face on The Jets are 818 00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:15,360 Speaker 1: on a big sack team, but they do put pressure 819 00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:17,640 Speaker 1: on quarterbacks so they can win that battle up front. 820 00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:20,279 Speaker 1: They have the cornerbacks and one major flaw for the 821 00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:22,640 Speaker 1: team last year was an ability to cover the tight end. Now, 822 00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:25,800 Speaker 1: nobody's gonna really cover Gronk, but the way this defense 823 00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:27,719 Speaker 1: is set up, I have more confidence that they could 824 00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:30,399 Speaker 1: perhaps keep Gronk from taking the game over. I think 825 00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:32,680 Speaker 1: the Jets are gonna play. This is gonna be a 826 00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:34,640 Speaker 1: tight game. I'm not saying they're gonna win it necessarily. 827 00:42:34,680 --> 00:42:37,719 Speaker 1: I'm not overly confident that that happens. But people that 828 00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:40,000 Speaker 1: think there's gonna be forty six to ten or way 829 00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:43,640 Speaker 1: off base. Who knows Ryan Fitzpatrick's playing. And the Patriots 830 00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:45,600 Speaker 1: win a lot of games like the Jets have one 831 00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:49,760 Speaker 1: this year on turnover differential, which is impossible to predict 832 00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:52,640 Speaker 1: every time, or not every time, but a lot of 833 00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:56,200 Speaker 1: times in these Jets, in these Patriots games, when whenever 834 00:42:56,239 --> 00:42:58,800 Speaker 1: there's sort of a national feel that I think this 835 00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:00,879 Speaker 1: is a week actually you're gonna come off, that's usually 836 00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:03,879 Speaker 1: when the Patriots do that's to win pretty comfortably. It's 837 00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:06,640 Speaker 1: definitely true West I felt better about the jets chances 838 00:43:06,719 --> 00:43:10,000 Speaker 1: before they started channeling Rex Ryan and running their mouths again. 839 00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:14,040 Speaker 1: Caldon richardson guaranteeing a victory. Marcus gil Chris says, you 840 00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:16,279 Speaker 1: prepare for Tom Brady the same way you prepare for 841 00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:19,480 Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins. Well, no, see, we're becoming the monster that 842 00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:23,399 Speaker 1: we hate there by not reading what Guilchrist actually pretty 843 00:43:24,719 --> 00:43:27,960 Speaker 1: read the context that actually it makes it worse. And 844 00:43:28,120 --> 00:43:30,239 Speaker 1: if you read the story. What he's trying to say 845 00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:34,040 Speaker 1: is the only way we prepare is we don't give 846 00:43:34,120 --> 00:43:36,719 Speaker 1: things special meetings or titles. We go into every game 847 00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:39,680 Speaker 1: with the same mindset about how we prepare for opponents, 848 00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:42,160 Speaker 1: whether it is Tom Brady or Kirk Cousins. But if 849 00:43:42,160 --> 00:43:44,600 Speaker 1: you want to mix it up that way, and I 850 00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:47,400 Speaker 1: read the content, it sound a lot worse. Once you 851 00:43:47,440 --> 00:43:49,440 Speaker 1: read that, stays and write your story and get your clicks. 852 00:43:49,480 --> 00:43:54,040 Speaker 1: West not and Sheldon Richardson. You know, let's face it, 853 00:43:54,280 --> 00:43:55,680 Speaker 1: I love him as a player, but a little bit 854 00:43:55,680 --> 00:43:57,920 Speaker 1: of a dufus so that doesn't surprise me. Well, I 855 00:43:57,920 --> 00:43:59,960 Speaker 1: think one of you know the side of the ball 856 00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:02,319 Speaker 1: that's getting ignored in this game as Jets offense versus 857 00:44:02,360 --> 00:44:05,759 Speaker 1: Patriots defense. And West you know, you've been writing on 858 00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:08,359 Speaker 1: Twitter and all sorts of places how impressed you are 859 00:44:08,600 --> 00:44:11,040 Speaker 1: with the Patriots defense, which is playing way better than 860 00:44:11,080 --> 00:44:14,280 Speaker 1: a lot of people expected this year, including myself. Jamie 861 00:44:14,280 --> 00:44:17,080 Speaker 1: Collins making really another leap after he made the leap 862 00:44:17,160 --> 00:44:22,120 Speaker 1: last year. Channel the Ball shared, Uh, living up to 863 00:44:22,160 --> 00:44:23,680 Speaker 1: what we said in this room, which was gonna be 864 00:44:23,719 --> 00:44:26,520 Speaker 1: a really good free agent addition, and he's absolutely been that. 865 00:44:27,080 --> 00:44:30,040 Speaker 1: Malcolm Butler playing better than anyone could expect, especially after 866 00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:31,879 Speaker 1: a bad week one. I mean since then, he's been 867 00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:35,680 Speaker 1: basically lights out. Bill Belichick. Uh, this is what started 868 00:44:35,719 --> 00:44:38,719 Speaker 1: me on on the watching this defense. Bill Belichick said 869 00:44:38,760 --> 00:44:40,719 Speaker 1: this week that no matter who we had, and he 870 00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:44,120 Speaker 1: was referring to Darrell Reeves and Brandon Browner, Malcolm Butler 871 00:44:44,120 --> 00:44:46,560 Speaker 1: would still have a big role on this team because 872 00:44:46,719 --> 00:44:48,920 Speaker 1: he's covering number one receivers and doing a pretty good 873 00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:51,719 Speaker 1: job of it. I really liked this defense. We think 874 00:44:51,760 --> 00:44:54,480 Speaker 1: of the Patriots as Belichick and Brady, but they we 875 00:44:54,560 --> 00:44:56,239 Speaker 1: forget that they were the youngest team ever to win 876 00:44:56,280 --> 00:44:59,160 Speaker 1: a Super Bowl, and that is, you know, the Brady 877 00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:01,440 Speaker 1: and Belichick. There's a lot of credit obviously for what 878 00:45:01,480 --> 00:45:04,200 Speaker 1: he's done. And that's just another example we're seeing this 879 00:45:04,280 --> 00:45:07,920 Speaker 1: year because what was the conversation going into the season, 880 00:45:07,960 --> 00:45:11,160 Speaker 1: like their corner of their entire secondary was decimated. That 881 00:45:11,239 --> 00:45:13,040 Speaker 1: was gonna be the weak point. But they just figure 882 00:45:13,040 --> 00:45:15,279 Speaker 1: it out and if they can keep about if they 883 00:45:15,320 --> 00:45:17,799 Speaker 1: can keep Dominic Easily healthy, I think he could be 884 00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:21,360 Speaker 1: the key to them becoming an even better like Dominic Easily. 885 00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:23,359 Speaker 1: When you watch him play, he's as quick as any 886 00:45:23,360 --> 00:45:25,799 Speaker 1: three technique. I mean there they haven't gotten much out 887 00:45:25,800 --> 00:45:27,719 Speaker 1: of easily. And now they're you know, the back to 888 00:45:27,719 --> 00:45:30,800 Speaker 1: back first round picks defensive tackle Malcolm Brown, who hasn't 889 00:45:30,840 --> 00:45:33,279 Speaker 1: really done a lot this year, but you're right, and 890 00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:35,680 Speaker 1: then they're so athletic up front once, Yeah, they do 891 00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:38,239 Speaker 1: have an athletic team. Once Dion Lewis drops one of 892 00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:41,480 Speaker 1: those Allen Iverson killer crossovers and some of the Jets defenders. 893 00:45:41,480 --> 00:45:44,960 Speaker 1: That's my Dan Lewis comparison. You compare Rogers to Jordan's, 894 00:45:45,040 --> 00:45:47,640 Speaker 1: Dion Lewis to Allen Iverson. He looked affected by that 895 00:45:47,719 --> 00:45:52,040 Speaker 1: ab injury last week. Let's see if he's himself. Yeah, 896 00:45:52,400 --> 00:45:54,440 Speaker 1: I'm looking. I'm looking at the small angles. I'm studying 897 00:45:54,480 --> 00:45:57,120 Speaker 1: this one very close. Your boy Leonard Williams moving on 898 00:45:57,280 --> 00:45:58,960 Speaker 1: up the Rookie of the Year watch he might be 899 00:45:59,040 --> 00:46:02,759 Speaker 1: number two this week. Wow, Big Mack had a nice offseason. 900 00:46:02,840 --> 00:46:06,400 Speaker 1: Huh he did? I think that Brandon Marshall trade was 901 00:46:06,440 --> 00:46:09,279 Speaker 1: so underrated and they got married Marshall and who do 902 00:46:09,360 --> 00:46:13,400 Speaker 1: they essentially choose Marshall over Percy Harvin? Yeah, that was 903 00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:17,120 Speaker 1: a great decision. Um anyway, so I have to pick 904 00:46:17,160 --> 00:46:19,239 Speaker 1: the Jets so I do seen that's gonna be the 905 00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:22,239 Speaker 1: final score. Patra who continues to lead the Picks and 906 00:46:22,320 --> 00:46:24,799 Speaker 1: is doing a great job. Uh, he's sixty four and 907 00:46:24,840 --> 00:46:27,200 Speaker 1: twenty seven this year at Steve Patras running away from it. 908 00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:32,040 Speaker 1: He's up six games. Yeah, he's got six games on you. Um, 909 00:46:32,120 --> 00:46:33,960 Speaker 1: he picked the Jets as well, So let's see what 910 00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:40,719 Speaker 1: happens Kevin Foxboro. Moving on, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are 911 00:46:40,800 --> 00:46:44,960 Speaker 1: two and three with their rookie quarterback Jameis Winston. Now, 912 00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:49,400 Speaker 1: they traveled to Washington, d C. Or just outside to 913 00:46:49,440 --> 00:46:53,480 Speaker 1: face the Redskins, who were two and four, and we 914 00:46:53,600 --> 00:46:56,000 Speaker 1: you know, this was a hot talking point on the 915 00:46:56,000 --> 00:47:00,960 Speaker 1: previous podcast about the Redskins West sticking up for the Redskins, 916 00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:03,360 Speaker 1: so we didn't stick a fork in them. So I 917 00:47:03,360 --> 00:47:06,040 Speaker 1: would assume West that this is a game that the 918 00:47:06,200 --> 00:47:09,000 Speaker 1: frisky Redskins, in your mind at least, are going to 919 00:47:09,080 --> 00:47:11,120 Speaker 1: take care of business. Get to three and four and 920 00:47:11,200 --> 00:47:14,439 Speaker 1: stay in the thick of it in the mediocre NFC East. Sure, 921 00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:15,919 Speaker 1: all you have to do is beat a bad Bucks 922 00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:20,240 Speaker 1: team better. I have no faith in the Bucks ever winning. 923 00:47:20,440 --> 00:47:22,280 Speaker 1: What if the Bucks win, can we fork the Redskins? 924 00:47:23,320 --> 00:47:25,800 Speaker 1: I love holding you to that. Yeah, it works really 925 00:47:26,880 --> 00:47:29,799 Speaker 1: if the Bucks, if the Bucks beat the Redskins for 926 00:47:29,840 --> 00:47:32,080 Speaker 1: the Redskins by week yeah, oh no, I know. But 927 00:47:32,640 --> 00:47:34,920 Speaker 1: just from what I've heard from this side of the 928 00:47:35,120 --> 00:47:37,680 Speaker 1: room this year, I'm surprised that you know, you would 929 00:47:37,719 --> 00:47:40,279 Speaker 1: even consider forking a team, you know, coached by new 930 00:47:40,440 --> 00:47:44,960 Speaker 1: Rockney and quarterbacks by Joe Montana. You've got Dion Sanders, 931 00:47:45,200 --> 00:47:47,520 Speaker 1: you know, in this prime in the secondary. I mean, 932 00:47:47,520 --> 00:47:50,400 Speaker 1: this Redskins team is just really head scratching that you 933 00:47:50,440 --> 00:47:53,320 Speaker 1: don't like Kirk. I know, it's really head scratching. And 934 00:47:53,400 --> 00:47:55,560 Speaker 1: you don't like Kirk Cousins more considering you're the patron 935 00:47:55,600 --> 00:47:58,800 Speaker 1: saint of bad quarterbacking. You love bad quarterbacks like nobody. 936 00:47:58,800 --> 00:48:00,799 Speaker 1: You know what I like. I like bad quarterbacks that 937 00:48:00,880 --> 00:48:05,080 Speaker 1: make exciting place and Cousins is the opposite. He does. 938 00:48:06,280 --> 00:48:09,080 Speaker 1: He's a low ceiling quarterback that doesn't even get to 939 00:48:09,120 --> 00:48:11,360 Speaker 1: that low ceiling usually. I thought in Week one he 940 00:48:11,400 --> 00:48:13,120 Speaker 1: did go down field, but then you take away to 941 00:48:13,160 --> 00:48:15,400 Speaker 1: Sean Jackson, you take away Jordan Reed, and what are 942 00:48:15,440 --> 00:48:17,040 Speaker 1: you who are you left with? I saw that he's 943 00:48:17,040 --> 00:48:21,319 Speaker 1: only thrown nineteen or twenty one throws all year over 944 00:48:21,360 --> 00:48:24,600 Speaker 1: twenty yards and he's completed three of those. And he's 945 00:48:24,600 --> 00:48:28,160 Speaker 1: playing last week without his starting center, without his left tackle. 946 00:48:28,200 --> 00:48:30,120 Speaker 1: I think once they get healthy, he'll start going down. 947 00:48:30,280 --> 00:48:33,360 Speaker 1: That is totally fair. I do think their defense is overachieved. 948 00:48:33,400 --> 00:48:35,239 Speaker 1: I think the running game is intriguing, even if it 949 00:48:35,280 --> 00:48:38,200 Speaker 1: doesn't have the results. Might be making the leap. And 950 00:48:38,239 --> 00:48:40,360 Speaker 1: they've had a lot of injuries, so they do have excuses, 951 00:48:40,360 --> 00:48:42,960 Speaker 1: but they're not They're not a good team. Still. I'm 952 00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:44,840 Speaker 1: starting to think that maybe it was a jinx West. 953 00:48:45,080 --> 00:48:47,080 Speaker 1: It did stick in my mind when I was looking 954 00:48:47,080 --> 00:48:50,120 Speaker 1: at Matt Jones being inactive before that Giants game in 955 00:48:50,160 --> 00:48:51,839 Speaker 1: Week three, you said that would be his coming out, 956 00:48:52,440 --> 00:48:55,080 Speaker 1: coming out moment as rookie of the year. I mean, 957 00:48:55,239 --> 00:48:57,560 Speaker 1: is he playing this week? And you know, what do 958 00:48:57,640 --> 00:48:59,160 Speaker 1: they need to do to get the running game going 959 00:48:59,160 --> 00:49:01,239 Speaker 1: because it did not look impressive. But they need their 960 00:49:01,239 --> 00:49:03,480 Speaker 1: offensive line to be healthy first of all. But yeah, 961 00:49:03,560 --> 00:49:05,600 Speaker 1: I think Matt Jones didn't even play last week. I'm 962 00:49:05,640 --> 00:49:08,400 Speaker 1: not sure if he's playing this week. But Alfred Morris 963 00:49:08,480 --> 00:49:10,719 Speaker 1: is also not making anyone miss. He looked great in 964 00:49:10,719 --> 00:49:13,200 Speaker 1: the first week. We talked about how if you pay 965 00:49:13,280 --> 00:49:15,560 Speaker 1: too much attention to week one, Alfred Morris has not 966 00:49:15,600 --> 00:49:18,839 Speaker 1: looked good. Um, Jamis Winston, we haven't really talked about 967 00:49:18,920 --> 00:49:24,160 Speaker 1: him much. Through five starts. He is uh completing fifty 968 00:49:24,239 --> 00:49:26,800 Speaker 1: six and a half percent of his passes eleven yards, 969 00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:31,320 Speaker 1: seven touchdowns, seven picks, pass rating of seventies seven points 970 00:49:31,680 --> 00:49:33,920 Speaker 1: seven No. Six. I would have been awesome if that 971 00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:37,160 Speaker 1: was the seven too good yards per tempt seven points, 972 00:49:37,160 --> 00:49:39,840 Speaker 1: seven yards per tempt. It's been sacked eleven times. What 973 00:49:39,920 --> 00:49:43,040 Speaker 1: of our what our early returns on Jamis Winston? You 974 00:49:43,120 --> 00:49:46,840 Speaker 1: think it's a lot? There? Are we worried? I've rarely 975 00:49:46,840 --> 00:49:50,719 Speaker 1: had so little opinion on a high level quarterback after 976 00:49:50,719 --> 00:49:52,759 Speaker 1: watching four games. It's such a cop out, But I 977 00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:55,600 Speaker 1: just feel like I don't have a good feel from 978 00:49:55,680 --> 00:49:58,160 Speaker 1: him yet. I mean, he's shown you why he's a 979 00:49:58,200 --> 00:50:01,760 Speaker 1: first round quarterback multip times. I mean he's he's shown 980 00:50:01,880 --> 00:50:03,799 Speaker 1: enough to for you to know. Okay, I think he's 981 00:50:03,800 --> 00:50:06,719 Speaker 1: an NFL quarterback. But then he's had a couple of 982 00:50:06,719 --> 00:50:08,839 Speaker 1: just games where he was a total collapse. Yeah, it's 983 00:50:08,880 --> 00:50:10,520 Speaker 1: hard to get a read on him because two of 984 00:50:10,560 --> 00:50:13,839 Speaker 1: his games were unmitigated disasters like disaster two games. Two 985 00:50:13,840 --> 00:50:15,759 Speaker 1: games were pretty good and one game was all right 986 00:50:16,280 --> 00:50:18,360 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna get a disasters from the first snap 987 00:50:18,400 --> 00:50:21,319 Speaker 1: to the point where it seemed mental like things just 988 00:50:21,400 --> 00:50:24,160 Speaker 1: went bad on the first snap and then he he 989 00:50:24,280 --> 00:50:26,600 Speaker 1: kind of crumbled, which isn't a great sign um, but 990 00:50:26,680 --> 00:50:29,799 Speaker 1: he's shown otherwise. I think he's looked pretty good and 991 00:50:29,840 --> 00:50:32,799 Speaker 1: Doug Martin looks awesome. Yeah, that was That was one 992 00:50:32,840 --> 00:50:36,239 Speaker 1: of those preseason hype trains where I was suspicious of, 993 00:50:36,320 --> 00:50:39,640 Speaker 1: but that has proven to be. He's he's a lot 994 00:50:39,680 --> 00:50:41,919 Speaker 1: better than his and his numbers are fine, but he's 995 00:50:41,920 --> 00:50:45,080 Speaker 1: a lot better than his numbers show. We took the 996 00:50:45,160 --> 00:50:48,080 Speaker 1: Redskins across the board to move to three and four. 997 00:50:48,400 --> 00:50:55,280 Speaker 1: Moving forward to the late games, the Oakland Raiders gentlemen, Um, 998 00:50:55,440 --> 00:50:57,279 Speaker 1: they are two and four and now they have a 999 00:50:57,320 --> 00:51:02,800 Speaker 1: big division battle against the Diego Chargers. Um. Excusely Oaklands 1000 00:51:02,840 --> 00:51:05,760 Speaker 1: two and three, the Chargers are two and four. Uh. 1001 00:51:05,880 --> 00:51:09,319 Speaker 1: This is a Philip Rivers led Chargers team. Rivers went 1002 00:51:09,360 --> 00:51:12,920 Speaker 1: off sent all sorts of organizational records in his last game, 1003 00:51:12,960 --> 00:51:16,880 Speaker 1: throwing for over five hundred yards. Uh and uh it 1004 00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:18,880 Speaker 1: wasn't enough to get the win, but the Chargers are 1005 00:51:18,960 --> 00:51:21,640 Speaker 1: frisky team. The Raiders. What are your thoughts on the 1006 00:51:21,719 --> 00:51:25,239 Speaker 1: Raiders right now? Greg? My thoughts are that they have 1007 00:51:25,320 --> 00:51:28,280 Speaker 1: a chance to be in the mix in this bad division, 1008 00:51:28,360 --> 00:51:30,600 Speaker 1: and these division games are gonna be huge for these 1009 00:51:30,640 --> 00:51:32,919 Speaker 1: three teams. The Chiefs, who I guess are just about 1010 00:51:32,920 --> 00:51:34,799 Speaker 1: out of it. It's really these two teams that the 1011 00:51:34,920 --> 00:51:37,560 Speaker 1: Chargers and the Raiders. So I think there's an opportunity 1012 00:51:37,600 --> 00:51:40,560 Speaker 1: the schedules doable for this division for one of these 1013 00:51:40,560 --> 00:51:42,520 Speaker 1: two teams to rise up, for the Chargers to make 1014 00:51:42,560 --> 00:51:44,400 Speaker 1: a run. We talked about how top heavy the a 1015 00:51:44,520 --> 00:51:46,960 Speaker 1: f C is with only five winning teams or the 1016 00:51:47,040 --> 00:51:49,520 Speaker 1: Raiders to make a run, and this this is such 1017 00:51:49,520 --> 00:51:51,480 Speaker 1: an intriguing game. I just realized, I think I'm going 1018 00:51:51,520 --> 00:51:55,760 Speaker 1: to assign it to myself. I know you guys wouldn't 1019 00:51:55,760 --> 00:51:57,879 Speaker 1: love it anyways. It's not like the Choice A one, 1020 00:51:57,920 --> 00:51:59,840 Speaker 1: but it's kind of that. I think it's gonna be 1021 00:51:59,840 --> 00:52:02,520 Speaker 1: a sneaky, big game. I want to see how Derek 1022 00:52:02,560 --> 00:52:04,640 Speaker 1: Carr's plays in this game, and I want to see 1023 00:52:04,640 --> 00:52:06,080 Speaker 1: if the Raider I want I want to see which 1024 00:52:06,080 --> 00:52:08,560 Speaker 1: one of these teams can step up. Um I hold 1025 00:52:08,560 --> 00:52:18,959 Speaker 1: in my hands the two thousand, fifteen weeks seven research notes. Well, 1026 00:52:19,000 --> 00:52:21,600 Speaker 1: we finally know that Sydney has been learning from TV. 1027 00:52:22,680 --> 00:52:26,120 Speaker 1: She hasn't been paying attention at all. All right, I'll 1028 00:52:26,160 --> 00:52:28,480 Speaker 1: set you up again. I'm sorry if we board you, 1029 00:52:29,800 --> 00:52:32,400 Speaker 1: I hold in my hand the two thousand fifteen season 1030 00:52:32,440 --> 00:52:39,960 Speaker 1: weeks seven research notes. Get rid of that thing. It's 1031 00:52:39,960 --> 00:52:42,040 Speaker 1: a mons dross. And that was great, by the way, 1032 00:52:42,040 --> 00:52:44,239 Speaker 1: because Sydney's face when she turned around it was like 1033 00:52:44,360 --> 00:52:46,719 Speaker 1: haming a hama hamma. By the way, Sydney, you are 1034 00:52:46,760 --> 00:52:48,400 Speaker 1: doing a great job. I'm sorry my face was what 1035 00:52:48,440 --> 00:52:51,960 Speaker 1: can we can we just hear that again? But you 1036 00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:54,000 Speaker 1: have done a great job since coming aboard. I just 1037 00:52:54,040 --> 00:52:57,880 Speaker 1: want to make that clear, both you and the audience simultaneously. 1038 00:52:59,320 --> 00:53:03,520 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, that's okay. Um. Yes, from the research guy, 1039 00:53:03,880 --> 00:53:06,799 Speaker 1: Keenan Allen guys fifty three catches through six games. That 1040 00:53:06,880 --> 00:53:09,440 Speaker 1: is the most by any wide receiver in the history 1041 00:53:09,440 --> 00:53:12,360 Speaker 1: of the game since nineteen sixty. He might set the 1042 00:53:12,440 --> 00:53:16,719 Speaker 1: NFL record for catches. I think it's easy there. He might. 1043 00:53:16,800 --> 00:53:20,360 Speaker 1: He's on pace in an offense where it can happen. West, 1044 00:53:20,400 --> 00:53:23,760 Speaker 1: I'm overdue to acknowledge that you have used the research 1045 00:53:23,800 --> 00:53:26,800 Speaker 1: packet much more efficiently this year. And you've used it, 1046 00:53:27,880 --> 00:53:30,440 Speaker 1: You've used it with some context because I was you're 1047 00:53:30,480 --> 00:53:32,200 Speaker 1: really setting me up because I wanted to talk about 1048 00:53:32,280 --> 00:53:35,879 Speaker 1: Keenan Allen. Thank you. That's grade A hosting right there. 1049 00:53:36,040 --> 00:53:40,600 Speaker 1: Damn everybuddy tonight be making the leap Amari Cooper is 1050 00:53:40,640 --> 00:53:43,799 Speaker 1: not the best game Keenan Allen. Oh, I thought you've 1051 00:53:43,800 --> 00:53:49,120 Speaker 1: been Michael Crabtree Crabtree and Allen is playing lights out. 1052 00:53:49,160 --> 00:53:52,239 Speaker 1: Those catches fourteen catches and three quarters last weekend, they 1053 00:53:52,239 --> 00:53:55,719 Speaker 1: were ridiculous catches. He's fun to watch. He actually he 1054 00:53:55,760 --> 00:53:58,080 Speaker 1: reminds me of a much better version of the guy 1055 00:53:58,120 --> 00:54:00,000 Speaker 1: on the other side of the field of him, Stevie Johnson, 1056 00:54:00,040 --> 00:54:04,759 Speaker 1: and a little bit like a younger better. But you know, 1057 00:54:04,800 --> 00:54:07,960 Speaker 1: it's not like keen physical. He's not pulling away from you. 1058 00:54:08,040 --> 00:54:10,480 Speaker 1: And he's a very he can make catches in traffic 1059 00:54:10,560 --> 00:54:13,400 Speaker 1: like anybody. He's not eccentric. What's the word for it, 1060 00:54:13,480 --> 00:54:17,080 Speaker 1: He's just so I don't know what the word for 1061 00:54:17,160 --> 00:54:19,400 Speaker 1: it is. He's a very unique. He's a unique receiver. 1062 00:54:19,840 --> 00:54:23,120 Speaker 1: There's a certain is that qua Yeah, that's true too, 1063 00:54:23,440 --> 00:54:25,520 Speaker 1: not what I was looking for. But that also, I 1064 00:54:25,560 --> 00:54:28,000 Speaker 1: don't understand how Keenan Allen had one of the best. 1065 00:54:28,640 --> 00:54:30,719 Speaker 1: It was offensive Rookie of the Year two years ago, 1066 00:54:31,280 --> 00:54:33,799 Speaker 1: and then still with Philip Rivers had a great year. 1067 00:54:33,960 --> 00:54:36,520 Speaker 1: Was it as good? And now is unstoppable? This is 1068 00:54:36,520 --> 00:54:38,359 Speaker 1: he was playing injured list year. I'm going to raise 1069 00:54:38,400 --> 00:54:42,279 Speaker 1: my You could read between the lines of some of 1070 00:54:42,280 --> 00:54:45,080 Speaker 1: the articles from the Chargers writers and the coaches in 1071 00:54:45,120 --> 00:54:47,560 Speaker 1: the off season that Keenan Allen might not have taken 1072 00:54:47,560 --> 00:54:50,120 Speaker 1: his work too seriously last year. What didn't he I 1073 00:54:50,160 --> 00:54:53,239 Speaker 1: think the coaches essentially have said that that they thought 1074 00:54:53,239 --> 00:54:54,680 Speaker 1: he came off the rookie year and he was like, 1075 00:54:54,719 --> 00:54:57,680 Speaker 1: all right, you know, I'm pretty good, and uh yeah, 1076 00:54:57,680 --> 00:54:59,600 Speaker 1: he wasn't working. Remember early in his rookie year when 1077 00:54:59,600 --> 00:55:02,759 Speaker 1: he said he aught about retiring to pursue music, right, 1078 00:55:02,800 --> 00:55:06,040 Speaker 1: So that's right there. That maybe gives you a little window. 1079 00:55:06,120 --> 00:55:08,240 Speaker 1: So maybe he's a young immature player and you can't 1080 00:55:08,480 --> 00:55:10,600 Speaker 1: you just can't survive in the NFL like that unless 1081 00:55:10,640 --> 00:55:13,440 Speaker 1: you're an outrageously talented Well, he must have a an 1082 00:55:13,480 --> 00:55:15,960 Speaker 1: epiphany during the off season because he's playing lights out well. 1083 00:55:16,000 --> 00:55:18,080 Speaker 1: He had how many catches and three quarters last week? 1084 00:55:18,160 --> 00:55:20,720 Speaker 1: Fourteen and three quarters? He would have broken the franchise 1085 00:55:20,760 --> 00:55:25,279 Speaker 1: record if he if he, yeah, that's Brandon Marshall. I 1086 00:55:25,280 --> 00:55:31,560 Speaker 1: think it's through our owns right with twenty Brandon Marshall. Well, uh, yeah, 1087 00:55:31,600 --> 00:55:33,120 Speaker 1: he has a hip injury. That's why he came out 1088 00:55:33,120 --> 00:55:35,800 Speaker 1: of the game. Uh. The Union Tribune and San Diego 1089 00:55:35,880 --> 00:55:39,279 Speaker 1: reports there is quote plenty of optimism that he will 1090 00:55:39,280 --> 00:55:42,040 Speaker 1: play in Week seven against the Raiders, and they could 1091 00:55:42,120 --> 00:55:46,840 Speaker 1: use them as for the picks in that game game gentlemen, 1092 00:55:47,760 --> 00:55:52,280 Speaker 1: wild card or old Renegade or picks fittingly the Renegade Raiders. 1093 00:55:52,320 --> 00:55:55,920 Speaker 1: The rest of us took Chargers. That's that's what you 1094 00:55:55,960 --> 00:55:59,040 Speaker 1: call a good hero pick. You know what. That's a 1095 00:55:59,080 --> 00:56:00,960 Speaker 1: toss up game, don't you guys think No, you don't 1096 00:56:01,000 --> 00:56:04,279 Speaker 1: think so. I'll take Philip Rivers. All right, it's the 1097 00:56:04,280 --> 00:56:07,960 Speaker 1: Thursday preview show, and now it is a tradition like 1098 00:56:08,400 --> 00:56:13,360 Speaker 1: no other. Andrew Ceciliano of NFL Network joins us, the 1099 00:56:13,440 --> 00:56:17,160 Speaker 1: host of Around the NFL, the television show When can 1100 00:56:17,200 --> 00:56:21,560 Speaker 1: I watch that? We'll teasee it it. I'll tell you 1101 00:56:21,640 --> 00:56:23,399 Speaker 1: at the end of the segment. It depends on how 1102 00:56:23,440 --> 00:56:26,640 Speaker 1: Andrew does, whether we give the correct information. You know, 1103 00:56:27,360 --> 00:56:31,399 Speaker 1: you're Chriss, Chris is kind of like Statler or would 1104 00:56:31,440 --> 00:56:34,799 Speaker 1: you be Statler or Waldorf? Both both For those who 1105 00:56:34,840 --> 00:56:38,120 Speaker 1: don't know the Muppets, I hear their back on TV 1106 00:56:38,239 --> 00:56:42,160 Speaker 1: and raunchy and racier than ever, however, they're like Statler 1107 00:56:42,200 --> 00:56:46,560 Speaker 1: and Waldorf. That is Chris Westling. You just need a balcony. 1108 00:56:46,640 --> 00:56:50,080 Speaker 1: Those two are the best characters in that show. Grumpy 1109 00:56:50,120 --> 00:56:53,800 Speaker 1: old man, get off my lawn. They're awesome. How are you, Andrew? 1110 00:56:53,840 --> 00:56:59,040 Speaker 1: I'm doing well, gentlemen and yourselves. Great question is now 1111 00:56:59,120 --> 00:57:03,319 Speaker 1: that um Greg has replaced the group on your television show? Yes, 1112 00:57:03,800 --> 00:57:06,080 Speaker 1: do you find the show better now with just Greg 1113 00:57:06,120 --> 00:57:10,200 Speaker 1: as opposed to all of us? Um? Honest answer, well, 1114 00:57:10,239 --> 00:57:15,399 Speaker 1: I don't know that have we officially replaced you? Oh? 1115 00:57:15,480 --> 00:57:18,280 Speaker 1: I see all because of the things that you guys 1116 00:57:18,360 --> 00:57:22,400 Speaker 1: used to do. I doesn't even remember that we were 1117 00:57:22,440 --> 00:57:24,680 Speaker 1: those that are new to the show. We were once 1118 00:57:24,760 --> 00:57:29,080 Speaker 1: on around the NFL as a group. I don't think 1119 00:57:29,080 --> 00:57:30,760 Speaker 1: it's been yanked. I think it could come back. First 1120 00:57:30,760 --> 00:57:33,480 Speaker 1: of all, I am not preppy to those meetings. Rosenthal 1121 00:57:33,560 --> 00:57:36,280 Speaker 1: probably is. Second of all, Greg has been really good 1122 00:57:36,360 --> 00:57:39,320 Speaker 1: the last two weeks. I mean this week good today. 1123 00:57:39,720 --> 00:57:41,760 Speaker 1: Last week when you got to the name calling at 1124 00:57:41,760 --> 00:57:43,800 Speaker 1: the finger pointing with Mike Silver. I thought that was 1125 00:57:44,000 --> 00:57:46,680 Speaker 1: real quality television. Real tough to win a debate against 1126 00:57:46,720 --> 00:57:54,240 Speaker 1: people probably up Peyton Manny. I love their second album, 1127 00:57:54,400 --> 00:57:57,240 Speaker 1: so you had You've effectively dodged the question. Andrew a 1128 00:57:57,240 --> 00:58:00,080 Speaker 1: good job.

And I 1135 00:58:20,080 --> 00:58:22,880 Speaker 1: did feel bad after Andrew left for the Dodger game, uh, 1136 00:58:22,920 --> 00:58:25,240 Speaker 1: that we kind of inadvertently. It wasn't on purpose, so 1137 00:58:25,480 --> 00:58:27,960 Speaker 1: he kind of got stuck with some crappy games. And 1138 00:58:28,720 --> 00:58:30,960 Speaker 1: you asked me to predict the winner, and I said, 1139 00:58:31,440 --> 00:58:32,960 Speaker 1: I said the man, No, I didn't. I said the 1140 00:58:33,000 --> 00:58:36,760 Speaker 1: Dodgers would win, right well, the Mets are in the 1141 00:58:36,760 --> 00:58:38,880 Speaker 1: World Series a week later. They've made quick work of 1142 00:58:38,960 --> 00:58:43,240 Speaker 1: the NL. But as a olive branch, we will give 1143 00:58:43,280 --> 00:58:46,560 Speaker 1: you a nice little game. Oh oh game, yes, yes, 1144 00:58:46,560 --> 00:58:48,280 Speaker 1: so what do you got into? The games will start, 1145 00:58:48,440 --> 00:58:50,760 Speaker 1: you know, you have your Cleveland Browns ties. You've done 1146 00:58:50,800 --> 00:58:52,360 Speaker 1: a lot of work with the St. Louis Rams, and 1147 00:58:52,440 --> 00:58:55,960 Speaker 1: guess what They're playing each other on Sunday at one 1148 00:58:56,000 --> 00:59:00,800 Speaker 1: pm Eastern at the Edward James almost Dome. Get excited 1149 00:59:01,200 --> 00:59:03,800 Speaker 1: andrew your thoughts about this game. And and first let's 1150 00:59:03,800 --> 00:59:06,160 Speaker 1: start before we came on the air, you mentioned you 1151 00:59:06,200 --> 00:59:07,640 Speaker 1: know you have a brother that goes to a lot 1152 00:59:07,680 --> 00:59:10,960 Speaker 1: of Browns games. It travels in fact um. And this 1153 00:59:11,120 --> 00:59:14,240 Speaker 1: that was a sucker punch or a gut punch loss 1154 00:59:14,280 --> 00:59:18,000 Speaker 1: for the Browns last week the Broncos. It was not 1155 00:59:18,200 --> 00:59:21,600 Speaker 1: because they were supposed to win, but because they should 1156 00:59:21,640 --> 00:59:25,640 Speaker 1: have one. They were handed that game so many times 1157 00:59:26,000 --> 00:59:29,040 Speaker 1: when you fail to capitalize on the only play bar 1158 00:59:29,080 --> 00:59:33,440 Speaker 1: Kibious Mingo makes all year, you can't win when you 1159 00:59:33,480 --> 00:59:35,800 Speaker 1: get it on the what the plus thirty nine or 1160 00:59:35,880 --> 00:59:39,120 Speaker 1: thirty eight whatever was in overtime and go backwards and 1161 00:59:39,200 --> 00:59:43,040 Speaker 1: end up on your own thirty eight. But it goes 1162 00:59:43,200 --> 00:59:46,640 Speaker 1: deeper than that. The Carlos Dansby pick six where he 1163 00:59:46,720 --> 00:59:49,680 Speaker 1: tight wrope the sideline if you had to. People may 1164 00:59:49,760 --> 00:59:51,440 Speaker 1: laugh and say that's how little this team has won 1165 00:59:51,480 --> 00:59:53,000 Speaker 1: since it came back in ninety nine. But if you 1166 00:59:53,040 --> 00:59:56,000 Speaker 1: had to rank the top five eight moments in the 1167 00:59:56,160 --> 00:59:59,959 Speaker 1: history of that stadium where it shook to the foundation, 1168 01:00:00,640 --> 01:00:04,360 Speaker 1: that was one of those moments where he went into 1169 01:00:04,400 --> 01:00:07,080 Speaker 1: the dog pound that end of the stadium and that 1170 01:00:07,560 --> 01:00:13,040 Speaker 1: place shook. And maybe you have a man'zelle touchdown a 1171 01:00:13,040 --> 01:00:15,360 Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago against Tennessee, or maybe it was 1172 01:00:15,560 --> 01:00:18,360 Speaker 1: and Eric Wright pick six when the Giants were undefeated 1173 01:00:18,360 --> 01:00:20,720 Speaker 1: on a Monday night coming off a Super Bowl season 1174 01:00:20,720 --> 01:00:23,760 Speaker 1: where he went eighty yards. Lawyers Thursday night game was good. 1175 01:00:23,800 --> 01:00:26,560 Speaker 1: They beat the Steelers once the Hoyer Thursday night game 1176 01:00:26,600 --> 01:00:30,520 Speaker 1: against Buffalo where he got hurt. That one Travis Benjamin 1177 01:00:30,560 --> 01:00:33,400 Speaker 1: had to return the Hoyer the Bengals was on the road. 1178 01:00:34,040 --> 01:00:36,560 Speaker 1: Jimmy Haslim laughed in the owner's box. That was the 1179 01:00:36,560 --> 01:00:39,160 Speaker 1: Bills game where Hoyer and Manuel got a hurt and 1180 01:00:39,200 --> 01:00:42,600 Speaker 1: it was the shot of has them going like laughing 1181 01:00:42,640 --> 01:00:46,240 Speaker 1: like skeleton. Josh Gordon has had some moments, but that 1182 01:00:46,360 --> 01:00:51,360 Speaker 1: means that place was amazing. And your brother said twenty 1183 01:00:51,360 --> 01:00:53,680 Speaker 1: four hours later he still was still talk about And 1184 01:00:53,680 --> 01:00:56,960 Speaker 1: that's similar to Mark texted me later that night or 1185 01:00:56,960 --> 01:00:58,680 Speaker 1: even I think it was the next day he thought 1186 01:00:58,720 --> 01:01:00,320 Speaker 1: that was one of the toughest loss is for the 1187 01:01:00,360 --> 01:01:02,040 Speaker 1: Browns in a long time because of the history with 1188 01:01:02,080 --> 01:01:04,240 Speaker 1: the brown but they had never Okay, so it's been 1189 01:01:04,280 --> 01:01:07,960 Speaker 1: twenty five years since they beat the Broncos. Twenty five years. 1190 01:01:08,240 --> 01:01:11,760 Speaker 1: It was. It was a Monday night and some Canadian 1191 01:01:11,840 --> 01:01:14,000 Speaker 1: dude had like a cup of coffee called named Jerry 1192 01:01:14,080 --> 01:01:16,840 Speaker 1: Corric kicked the game winning field goal to win thirty 1193 01:01:16,840 --> 01:01:19,920 Speaker 1: twenty nine in Denver. Now that year that they were 1194 01:01:19,920 --> 01:01:21,960 Speaker 1: horrible that year both and the Broncos were two, but 1195 01:01:21,960 --> 01:01:25,040 Speaker 1: they were coming off um, you know in an eighty 1196 01:01:25,080 --> 01:01:27,200 Speaker 1: nine season where the Browns lost to the Broncos for 1197 01:01:27,240 --> 01:01:28,720 Speaker 1: the third time in four years in the a f 1198 01:01:28,760 --> 01:01:31,880 Speaker 1: C Championship Game. And for people of my age on 1199 01:01:32,040 --> 01:01:35,720 Speaker 1: forty one, I mean those teams nine where there were 1200 01:01:35,760 --> 01:01:38,120 Speaker 1: one step away from the Super Bowl three out of 1201 01:01:38,160 --> 01:01:42,520 Speaker 1: four years. You still hate the Broncos. If if you're 1202 01:01:42,560 --> 01:01:45,920 Speaker 1: and then this this was there and anyway, I digress. 1203 01:01:46,000 --> 01:01:49,600 Speaker 1: It's so it's so Browns to the dansby pick six, 1204 01:01:49,680 --> 01:01:51,960 Speaker 1: which you said is a great moment. All they had 1205 01:01:52,000 --> 01:01:53,520 Speaker 1: to do was to kick the extra point instead of 1206 01:01:53,560 --> 01:01:55,720 Speaker 1: going for the two point conversion, and by the way, 1207 01:01:55,880 --> 01:01:58,560 Speaker 1: Mike Petton, and this is not ripped Mike Petton here. 1208 01:01:58,880 --> 01:02:02,120 Speaker 1: I want to make that clear. The typical Monday day 1209 01:02:02,160 --> 01:02:06,120 Speaker 1: after for a coach, after making that kind of decision 1210 01:02:07,200 --> 01:02:09,800 Speaker 1: would be what the heck were you doing? Instead? Mike 1211 01:02:09,840 --> 01:02:12,760 Speaker 1: Petton then goes out there Monday and has to stand 1212 01:02:12,760 --> 01:02:17,160 Speaker 1: on a firing line where Johnny Manzel questions for fifteen minutes, 1213 01:02:18,040 --> 01:02:20,760 Speaker 1: speaking as the voice of the organization in essence, because 1214 01:02:20,760 --> 01:02:23,080 Speaker 1: no one else was talking about it and it was 1215 01:02:23,160 --> 01:02:25,600 Speaker 1: just a weird couple of hours there and let the 1216 01:02:25,680 --> 01:02:28,960 Speaker 1: passion coming out of Andrew, and Andrew's brother and Mark 1217 01:02:29,040 --> 01:02:33,160 Speaker 1: Sessler speak to that Browns fans deserve better. You are 1218 01:02:33,200 --> 01:02:36,920 Speaker 1: a factory upset, not that guy. You know. They just 1219 01:02:36,960 --> 01:02:41,400 Speaker 1: they deserve better. You don't like that guy whatever, he's 1220 01:02:41,400 --> 01:02:43,920 Speaker 1: one of you, though, Mark, he's yelled at the producer 1221 01:02:44,120 --> 01:02:46,600 Speaker 1: they put that on. So you have a similar to 1222 01:02:46,640 --> 01:02:48,120 Speaker 1: hell with that guy. You've done with that guy. I'm 1223 01:02:48,160 --> 01:02:51,400 Speaker 1: done with that. Never was with that guy, Like out 1224 01:02:51,400 --> 01:02:53,840 Speaker 1: of Cleveland. I interviewed him for the pain Rankings piece 1225 01:02:53,880 --> 01:02:55,360 Speaker 1: I wrote, so I feel like this is a shot 1226 01:02:55,400 --> 01:02:59,120 Speaker 1: at me that said this is an interesting game. This 1227 01:02:59,120 --> 01:03:02,120 Speaker 1: this is now turned the Rams this is now the 1228 01:03:02,280 --> 01:03:04,760 Speaker 1: part of their schedule where they could and should make 1229 01:03:04,800 --> 01:03:07,240 Speaker 1: a run. So this is kind of, at least for me, 1230 01:03:07,560 --> 01:03:09,560 Speaker 1: this is the window here where we find out if 1231 01:03:09,600 --> 01:03:13,640 Speaker 1: this Rams team can a handle success. Will be first 1232 01:03:13,640 --> 01:03:15,680 Speaker 1: of all, find it, have success, and then then be 1233 01:03:15,880 --> 01:03:19,200 Speaker 1: handle it if they get there. Can they win consecutive games? 1234 01:03:19,200 --> 01:03:21,120 Speaker 1: Can they get a streak going? Can they beat the 1235 01:03:21,160 --> 01:03:24,880 Speaker 1: teams that they, at least on paper, should realistically beat 1236 01:03:25,440 --> 01:03:27,240 Speaker 1: and so that that that's why this game is interesting 1237 01:03:27,280 --> 01:03:29,360 Speaker 1: totally and they're coming off of by the Rams are 1238 01:03:29,560 --> 01:03:31,440 Speaker 1: We kind of laughed a little bit when Greg you 1239 01:03:31,560 --> 01:03:34,120 Speaker 1: predicted that they would be the runner up in the 1240 01:03:34,200 --> 01:03:38,960 Speaker 1: NFC West back in early September. But Todd Gurley's emergence, 1241 01:03:39,880 --> 01:03:41,880 Speaker 1: all bets are offered with the Rams. Now. I really 1242 01:03:41,880 --> 01:03:44,600 Speaker 1: think they could be a team that's that's really frisky 1243 01:03:44,640 --> 01:03:46,600 Speaker 1: all through the season now as long as he stays healthy. 1244 01:03:46,680 --> 01:03:48,920 Speaker 1: They played at the level of their competition sometimes, but 1245 01:03:49,000 --> 01:03:51,920 Speaker 1: you have Girly they're actually using I don't think sometimes, 1246 01:03:51,920 --> 01:03:54,960 Speaker 1: I think all the time, all the time, Tavon Austin. Uh, 1247 01:03:55,040 --> 01:03:59,120 Speaker 1: they're actually using his skills well or well enough certainly better. 1248 01:03:59,200 --> 01:04:02,000 Speaker 1: It makes the offense it's watchable, and this is a matchup. 1249 01:04:02,040 --> 01:04:04,520 Speaker 1: I know the Brown's offensive line has been very good 1250 01:04:04,600 --> 01:04:08,200 Speaker 1: overall past protection uh this year, but I think they 1251 01:04:08,200 --> 01:04:10,880 Speaker 1: should take advantage of this matchup at home. Josh McCown, 1252 01:04:10,920 --> 01:04:12,800 Speaker 1: I think went back to the Josh McCown we expect 1253 01:04:12,880 --> 01:04:15,840 Speaker 1: to see last week, and they forced him into some mistakes. 1254 01:04:15,840 --> 01:04:18,560 Speaker 1: I mean, he'll play well enough and then he'll get 1255 01:04:18,640 --> 01:04:20,320 Speaker 1: people around him in the pocket and he'll just try 1256 01:04:20,360 --> 01:04:21,920 Speaker 1: to make a play and he'll throw it up for grabs. 1257 01:04:22,040 --> 01:04:24,760 Speaker 1: I know the Browns are playing teams very tough this season, 1258 01:04:24,760 --> 01:04:27,600 Speaker 1: even if their record isn't great, but it would be, yeah, 1259 01:04:27,680 --> 01:04:30,240 Speaker 1: a huge step backwards for the Rams. They got to 1260 01:04:30,280 --> 01:04:33,600 Speaker 1: start stacking some wins and really build momentum, something they've 1261 01:04:33,600 --> 01:04:36,240 Speaker 1: really failed to do during the Jeff Fisher era. Stadler, 1262 01:04:38,720 --> 01:04:40,840 Speaker 1: your thoughts, I was gonna say, you know, you said 1263 01:04:40,880 --> 01:04:44,720 Speaker 1: the Brown's offensive line is playing well. Shack Barrett owns him, 1264 01:04:45,360 --> 01:04:48,360 Speaker 1: Shack Barrett, Shack Barrott. Well, that was against made a 1265 01:04:48,400 --> 01:04:51,920 Speaker 1: million dollars. He looked. He looked every bit as good 1266 01:04:51,960 --> 01:04:54,640 Speaker 1: as DeMarcus Ware, the guy he's replacing in and in 1267 01:04:54,840 --> 01:04:57,480 Speaker 1: and in part time work. Even before last week, he 1268 01:04:57,560 --> 01:04:59,200 Speaker 1: was making a lot of plays. I mean, I know 1269 01:04:59,280 --> 01:05:01,320 Speaker 1: Pro Football FO because had him ranked, as you know, 1270 01:05:01,400 --> 01:05:03,320 Speaker 1: per play, one of the top guys in the league. 1271 01:05:03,360 --> 01:05:06,320 Speaker 1: But he was only getting a handful of snaps every week. Uh, 1272 01:05:06,400 --> 01:05:08,400 Speaker 1: they have that. I mean, I still think the Browns 1273 01:05:08,440 --> 01:05:10,080 Speaker 1: could win this game. Overall. I think the Browns have 1274 01:05:10,160 --> 01:05:13,520 Speaker 1: played well, considering it's not a very good roster. I 1275 01:05:13,560 --> 01:05:16,400 Speaker 1: like the way they used Duke Johnson. He we should 1276 01:05:16,440 --> 01:05:20,760 Speaker 1: give Travis Benjamin some love. He's playing great. Look six 1277 01:05:20,800 --> 01:05:23,760 Speaker 1: slants to him. They're much better at the skill positions 1278 01:05:24,040 --> 01:05:26,800 Speaker 1: than we would have ever x. Robert Barry Bartnage having 1279 01:05:26,800 --> 01:05:30,160 Speaker 1: a career season. Robert Turbin a few times he carried 1280 01:05:30,200 --> 01:05:32,520 Speaker 1: the ball last week, got downhill better than the other 1281 01:05:32,560 --> 01:05:35,800 Speaker 1: two guys had done. That was that was needed. They 1282 01:05:35,800 --> 01:05:38,160 Speaker 1: didn't have. Uh. I don't want to call him a 1283 01:05:38,200 --> 01:05:40,360 Speaker 1: workhorse power back because that's not what he is. But 1284 01:05:40,400 --> 01:05:42,880 Speaker 1: they didn't have a guy that could square shoulder pads 1285 01:05:42,880 --> 01:05:44,920 Speaker 1: and actually hit the line in short yardage. They had 1286 01:05:44,960 --> 01:05:47,800 Speaker 1: not seen that yet until they saw that down free 1287 01:05:48,080 --> 01:05:51,280 Speaker 1: biggest drive of the entire season. Trying to either tie 1288 01:05:51,480 --> 01:05:55,000 Speaker 1: that game or win it. It's all Robert Turban that 1289 01:05:55,080 --> 01:05:56,640 Speaker 1: was the offense. I thought that was really it was 1290 01:05:56,680 --> 01:05:59,640 Speaker 1: really interesting. And considering they moved the ball well that drive, 1291 01:05:59,680 --> 01:06:01,600 Speaker 1: I think get a lot more chances. This game can 1292 01:06:01,600 --> 01:06:03,960 Speaker 1: be summed up in one sentence. Todd Gurley against the 1293 01:06:04,040 --> 01:06:06,400 Speaker 1: number one thirty and against the number thirty one run day. 1294 01:06:06,520 --> 01:06:09,920 Speaker 1: That's it. That's the easiest way to describe this to 1295 01:06:09,920 --> 01:06:12,400 Speaker 1: to Andrew's point, we all took the Rams except for 1296 01:06:12,440 --> 01:06:14,800 Speaker 1: connor Or, who is a Browns fan, so perhaps he 1297 01:06:15,040 --> 01:06:19,760 Speaker 1: played into it. He's the least Browns fan Browns fan ever, 1298 01:06:19,840 --> 01:06:23,320 Speaker 1: he's I mean no slight to him. So you and Andrew, 1299 01:06:23,560 --> 01:06:24,920 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go. I'll go with the home team here, 1300 01:06:24,960 --> 01:06:27,520 Speaker 1: I'll go with the Rams. Alright. Moving on, So the 1301 01:06:27,520 --> 01:06:30,240 Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons last Thursday around this time they were an 1302 01:06:30,280 --> 01:06:32,720 Speaker 1: undefeated team. That is no longer the case. They got 1303 01:06:32,720 --> 01:06:35,400 Speaker 1: beat by the Saints in New Orleans, and now they 1304 01:06:35,400 --> 01:06:40,000 Speaker 1: get the Tennessee Titans um in Nashville this game. Chris Westling, 1305 01:06:40,800 --> 01:06:42,920 Speaker 1: where are we at with Marcus Mariota right now? Didn't 1306 01:06:42,920 --> 01:06:46,040 Speaker 1: practice again today? That scares me a little bit. He 1307 01:06:46,800 --> 01:06:49,040 Speaker 1: connor Or covered this game for US last week and 1308 01:06:49,960 --> 01:06:53,720 Speaker 1: he really kind of criticized the coaches for leaving Mariota 1309 01:06:53,760 --> 01:06:55,440 Speaker 1: in the game, and when I watched it on film, 1310 01:06:55,760 --> 01:06:59,120 Speaker 1: he was so obviously limping and you have to help 1311 01:06:59,200 --> 01:07:01,960 Speaker 1: him help himself because he was a sitting duck in 1312 01:07:02,000 --> 01:07:04,200 Speaker 1: the pocket. So that would scare me if on the 1313 01:07:04,200 --> 01:07:06,640 Speaker 1: Titans if he plays, and it would also scare me 1314 01:07:06,640 --> 01:07:09,680 Speaker 1: off Zach because he's just not a good quarterback. He's 1315 01:07:09,680 --> 01:07:12,000 Speaker 1: pretty good. This is his chance, and it's a good 1316 01:07:12,000 --> 01:07:14,360 Speaker 1: matchup for him too, because the Falcons don't have much 1317 01:07:14,400 --> 01:07:16,400 Speaker 1: of a pass rush. We saw it against Drew Brees 1318 01:07:16,760 --> 01:07:20,800 Speaker 1: and like just about any NFL quarterback, Mettenburger can do 1319 01:07:20,880 --> 01:07:23,640 Speaker 1: well if no one is rushing him. And Atlanta, I 1320 01:07:23,680 --> 01:07:25,640 Speaker 1: know it's at home or it's in Tennessee actually, so 1321 01:07:25,680 --> 01:07:27,720 Speaker 1: that makes it even tougher. They have not been able 1322 01:07:27,760 --> 01:07:30,640 Speaker 1: to get any pressure with their front seven. I think 1323 01:07:30,640 --> 01:07:33,640 Speaker 1: it could be a good game for Mettenburger. You're starting 1324 01:07:33,640 --> 01:07:37,880 Speaker 1: two quarterbacks and fantasy leagues pick them up. I can't see, 1325 01:07:37,920 --> 01:07:40,960 Speaker 1: and I'm not ready here to anoint the Falcons, but 1326 01:07:41,440 --> 01:07:47,160 Speaker 1: they had a little extra time to prepare. Um they 1327 01:07:47,520 --> 01:07:49,880 Speaker 1: they look even if it is Mariota, what is he 1328 01:07:49,960 --> 01:07:52,600 Speaker 1: third in the NFL and sacks I would be surprised. 1329 01:07:52,640 --> 01:07:55,680 Speaker 1: I think he has the highest secrerate and I think 1330 01:07:56,400 --> 01:07:58,320 Speaker 1: right I do too, And I think seven of those 1331 01:07:58,360 --> 01:08:00,280 Speaker 1: came Week two against the Browns in one game, So 1332 01:08:00,280 --> 01:08:04,080 Speaker 1: those numbers are kind of skewed. But uh, I like 1333 01:08:04,160 --> 01:08:07,840 Speaker 1: Atlanta here. I I just like what they're doing offensively 1334 01:08:08,080 --> 01:08:10,480 Speaker 1: so much. That's why I had an issue with your 1335 01:08:10,520 --> 01:08:14,280 Speaker 1: rankings before, Greg, with the watchable rankings. I think their 1336 01:08:14,320 --> 01:08:17,280 Speaker 1: offense puts them higher, and I think their offense actually 1337 01:08:17,320 --> 01:08:19,320 Speaker 1: wins this game. DeVonta Freeman is a lot of fun 1338 01:08:19,360 --> 01:08:21,160 Speaker 1: to watch. I don't like that they've turned Matt Ryan, 1339 01:08:21,600 --> 01:08:23,719 Speaker 1: as I told you, into a dink and dunk quarterback. 1340 01:08:23,760 --> 01:08:26,200 Speaker 1: I don't think the passing game is really any better 1341 01:08:26,280 --> 01:08:27,880 Speaker 1: under Kyle she And and and the rest of the team 1342 01:08:27,920 --> 01:08:30,599 Speaker 1: is better. But and it's effective, you know, moving six 1343 01:08:30,680 --> 01:08:32,479 Speaker 1: seven yards at a time. But when what was the 1344 01:08:32,560 --> 01:08:35,799 Speaker 1: last game, Atlanta came out there and just uh played 1345 01:08:35,800 --> 01:08:37,320 Speaker 1: good time. You know, from the first quarter of the 1346 01:08:37,320 --> 01:08:39,599 Speaker 1: fourth there was really not there are fourth quarter teams 1347 01:08:39,640 --> 01:08:41,760 Speaker 1: in Houston. Was the winning game. It didn't feel like 1348 01:08:41,800 --> 01:08:44,640 Speaker 1: watching Thursday's game that this was some grand upset and 1349 01:08:44,760 --> 01:08:47,439 Speaker 1: some team that was inferior to the Falcons had a 1350 01:08:47,439 --> 01:08:50,080 Speaker 1: good night. I felt like they were kind of same 1351 01:08:50,360 --> 01:08:53,840 Speaker 1: general talent level in terms of ability, So I don't know. 1352 01:08:53,840 --> 01:08:55,760 Speaker 1: I wouldn't been surprised to the Falcon slump a little 1353 01:08:55,760 --> 01:08:57,920 Speaker 1: bit and end up being closer than five hundred than 1354 01:08:57,960 --> 01:09:00,960 Speaker 1: we thought. I'm a weirdo. I actually joy watching Kyle 1355 01:09:01,000 --> 01:09:05,679 Speaker 1: Shanahan call a game. Oh too, Yeah, why is that weird? 1356 01:09:05,800 --> 01:09:07,040 Speaker 1: I don't know. I thought you were gonna tell me 1357 01:09:07,080 --> 01:09:08,680 Speaker 1: that it was weird. It's a trust tree. There's a 1358 01:09:08,680 --> 01:09:10,519 Speaker 1: lot of a lot of scientists here, a lot of 1359 01:09:10,520 --> 01:09:13,080 Speaker 1: football nerds. You don't have to worry about that stuff. Here. 1360 01:09:13,400 --> 01:09:16,320 Speaker 1: We all took the Falcons. And do you agree with that, Andrew? 1361 01:09:16,600 --> 01:09:21,639 Speaker 1: I do. I will take the Falcons, yes, because let's 1362 01:09:21,680 --> 01:09:23,800 Speaker 1: go back to weeks one and weeks two here with 1363 01:09:23,840 --> 01:09:30,040 Speaker 1: Tennessee when everyone was exceedingly giddy about Marcus Mariota and 1364 01:09:30,120 --> 01:09:33,320 Speaker 1: I too, I certainly think that the guy's got a 1365 01:09:33,360 --> 01:09:36,880 Speaker 1: bright future. But there was a reason this team was 1366 01:09:37,000 --> 01:09:39,960 Speaker 1: picking second overall at two and fact team, all right, 1367 01:09:39,960 --> 01:09:43,120 Speaker 1: they don't exactly have talent oozing out of the pores here. Now. 1368 01:09:43,280 --> 01:09:46,800 Speaker 1: They've had a different different leading Russia every week until 1369 01:09:46,880 --> 01:09:50,000 Speaker 1: last week. When Antonio Andrews and Dexter Mcluster led the 1370 01:09:50,000 --> 01:09:53,240 Speaker 1: team with twenty three yards. They play the wrong guys. 1371 01:09:53,600 --> 01:09:55,880 Speaker 1: What you think Terrence West should be in there? Yes? 1372 01:09:56,000 --> 01:09:58,280 Speaker 1: I do? You really do? I do? Or Bishop Sanky. 1373 01:09:58,320 --> 01:10:00,519 Speaker 1: Antonio Andrews is one of the slowest running backs and 1374 01:10:00,880 --> 01:10:03,599 Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not endorsing him and it and they 1375 01:10:03,600 --> 01:10:06,679 Speaker 1: play Harry Douglas who hasn't made a play his entire career. 1376 01:10:06,760 --> 01:10:09,280 Speaker 1: I just find it interesting that they they they trade 1377 01:10:09,320 --> 01:10:11,400 Speaker 1: for Terence Where have him active? I think for two 1378 01:10:11,439 --> 01:10:14,160 Speaker 1: weeks and and he's straight Dwayne Boone it since then, 1379 01:10:14,400 --> 01:10:17,479 Speaker 1: David Cobb returned to practice this week, so he might 1380 01:10:17,520 --> 01:10:19,679 Speaker 1: not be too I forgot about him. I honestly, legitimately 1381 01:10:19,760 --> 01:10:22,599 Speaker 1: did I want to. He was a buzzing guy August, 1382 01:10:22,640 --> 01:10:24,880 Speaker 1: so he might be a lift to them, but he 1383 01:10:24,920 --> 01:10:28,320 Speaker 1: won't be able to help them yet. Uh, Andrew, you've 1384 01:10:28,360 --> 01:10:30,519 Speaker 1: done it again. What is that You've come into the 1385 01:10:30,560 --> 01:10:35,040 Speaker 1: studio and you've just you've dropped knowledge bombs. Oh I 1386 01:10:35,080 --> 01:10:37,160 Speaker 1: thought you were gonna say, like, I took you dies 1387 01:10:37,240 --> 01:10:39,400 Speaker 1: down a dirt like a freight train tat down a dirt. 1388 01:10:39,720 --> 01:10:43,400 Speaker 1: You brought some charisma to the show and some star power. 1389 01:10:43,439 --> 01:10:45,960 Speaker 1: As we know, I sense big time. I sent some 1390 01:10:46,040 --> 01:10:49,000 Speaker 1: sarcasm and I sent a little pushback from you, Dan, 1391 01:10:49,439 --> 01:10:56,000 Speaker 1: because you're not on the TV, you know, some some jabs. Well, no, 1392 01:10:56,280 --> 01:10:58,559 Speaker 1: this is how you know. Usually, yes, I would say that, 1393 01:10:58,560 --> 01:10:59,920 Speaker 1: but in this case, I know that you are not 1394 01:11:00,040 --> 01:11:02,559 Speaker 1: directly in control of the programming of the show that 1395 01:11:02,600 --> 01:11:10,080 Speaker 1: you hope, which again is a jab. Yeah, which, well, no, 1396 01:11:10,200 --> 01:11:11,760 Speaker 1: it's not that you don't have a voice. I'm gonna 1397 01:11:11,920 --> 01:11:13,760 Speaker 1: have to dig out of this. It's not that you 1398 01:11:13,800 --> 01:11:15,599 Speaker 1: have a you don't have a voice in the production 1399 01:11:15,640 --> 01:11:18,040 Speaker 1: of the program. But you know, I don't know unless 1400 01:11:18,080 --> 01:11:21,400 Speaker 1: you did, are you responsible? I didn't stand bad. I'm 1401 01:11:21,400 --> 01:11:24,519 Speaker 1: gonna get to the bottom of the suite's listen, you guys, listen. 1402 01:11:24,680 --> 01:11:27,920 Speaker 1: And for the record, this comes one day after I 1403 01:11:28,040 --> 01:11:31,960 Speaker 1: heap praise on your Jets on the Twitter. Good you did, 1404 01:11:32,040 --> 01:11:35,680 Speaker 1: and I retweeted that the number one. That's every time 1405 01:11:35,680 --> 01:11:37,960 Speaker 1: you want to retweet from Dan, just praise the Jets. 1406 01:11:38,280 --> 01:11:41,960 Speaker 1: That's the recipe. You know what I don't. I don't 1407 01:11:42,000 --> 01:11:44,360 Speaker 1: like this. You know, my favorite Jets moment of all times, 1408 01:11:44,439 --> 01:11:49,360 Speaker 1: Mark Gastono's fourth down roughing the passer call. Yeah, that 1409 01:11:49,479 --> 01:11:53,439 Speaker 1: is a f C divisional round. Bogus calls you wild 1410 01:11:53,439 --> 01:11:57,519 Speaker 1: card drab bogus call. That was the famous Charlie Steiner call. 1411 01:11:58,160 --> 01:12:00,000 Speaker 1: The Jets are going to the a f C champion 1412 01:12:00,080 --> 01:12:03,720 Speaker 1: chip after Freeman mcnal scored off right tackle. By the way, 1413 01:12:05,120 --> 01:12:08,000 Speaker 1: I believe have you seen the NFL films one hour 1414 01:12:08,240 --> 01:12:10,760 Speaker 1: special about that game? Have we discussed this reason we have? 1415 01:12:10,800 --> 01:12:13,040 Speaker 1: I think it hasn't played in years, but I haven't 1416 01:12:13,040 --> 01:12:15,519 Speaker 1: saved in my DVR. And there's a great So they 1417 01:12:15,640 --> 01:12:19,120 Speaker 1: played Charlie Steiner, now voice of the Dodgers, saying and 1418 01:12:19,200 --> 01:12:21,800 Speaker 1: the Chets are going to the a f C Championship game. 1419 01:12:22,040 --> 01:12:24,840 Speaker 1: And then they show him today. He's there, He's looking 1420 01:12:24,880 --> 01:12:28,320 Speaker 1: at the camera and it kind of shrugs his shoulders. 1421 01:12:29,520 --> 01:12:35,160 Speaker 1: I mean, well, it's great. Charlie's the best. No one's perfect. 1422 01:12:35,200 --> 01:12:38,920 Speaker 1: So here we go around the NFL television show Monday, Tuesday, 1423 01:12:38,920 --> 01:12:42,800 Speaker 1: Wednesday Friday six pm Eastern, Yes, and Thursday Thursday hour 1424 01:12:42,880 --> 01:12:46,120 Speaker 1: different situations.

So busy man, Uh, 1429 01:12:58,680 --> 01:13:01,240 Speaker 1: you know, guy earned this page, Jeck. They wanted me to. Actually, 1430 01:13:01,760 --> 01:13:04,559 Speaker 1: someone in St. Louis suggested I do the Red Zone 1431 01:13:04,680 --> 01:13:08,479 Speaker 1: from St. Louis this week for Bronze Rams. I don't 1432 01:13:08,479 --> 01:13:11,840 Speaker 1: think that that is not doable. I thought about it. 1433 01:13:12,720 --> 01:13:15,240 Speaker 1: How would you do it? If we couldn't tweak, There's 1434 01:13:15,280 --> 01:13:19,200 Speaker 1: no way we could do it. But hey, oh well, 1435 01:13:19,360 --> 01:13:26,320 Speaker 1: dare to dream the Siciliana Bowl. That's America's partying for it. Emotional, emotional. 1436 01:13:26,640 --> 01:13:28,439 Speaker 1: There should be a trophy and everything for it.

There was a lot of taken 1442 01:13:41,200 --> 01:13:45,120 Speaker 1: from a haunted house or something. Have you been in 1443 01:13:45,160 --> 01:13:48,719 Speaker 1: that clubhouse? No? Okay, that clubhouse is the size Edwardley 1444 01:13:48,720 --> 01:13:53,519 Speaker 1: of this room. It is. It is a closet um. 1445 01:13:53,840 --> 01:13:56,679 Speaker 1: It was an interesting scene there. There are so many 1446 01:13:56,760 --> 01:13:59,680 Speaker 1: interesting things about that. I believe the collective age on 1447 01:13:59,720 --> 01:14:06,120 Speaker 1: that podium was now we're getting two inside baseball.

Uh, this is a game between 1455 01:14:33,880 --> 01:14:36,479 Speaker 1: a three three giant team that what's just let's let's 1456 01:14:36,479 --> 01:14:40,719 Speaker 1: face it, just look dreadful. Um after that initial touchdown 1457 01:14:40,800 --> 01:14:43,280 Speaker 1: drive against the Eagles a Monday night, so I didn't 1458 01:14:43,280 --> 01:14:44,960 Speaker 1: give you a great vibe about where they are as 1459 01:14:44,960 --> 01:14:47,040 Speaker 1: a team. That was an ugly way to end a 1460 01:14:47,080 --> 01:14:48,880 Speaker 1: winning streak. And then he got Dallas who was on 1461 01:14:48,960 --> 01:14:52,080 Speaker 1: a three game losing streak. But Greg, they turned out 1462 01:14:52,120 --> 01:14:55,280 Speaker 1: to Matt Castle, who will take over for Brandon Weed 1463 01:14:55,360 --> 01:14:57,479 Speaker 1: and probably not gonna see Dez Briant, even though I 1464 01:14:57,560 --> 01:14:59,479 Speaker 1: feel like Cowboys are teasing it out a little bit, 1465 01:14:59,479 --> 01:15:03,120 Speaker 1: maybe in a he's not playing competitive advantage move, but 1466 01:15:03,360 --> 01:15:05,400 Speaker 1: we will get Matt Castle you think it was the 1467 01:15:05,479 --> 01:15:08,480 Speaker 1: right move to go with Matt Castle right now. Absolutely, 1468 01:15:08,720 --> 01:15:11,120 Speaker 1: it couldn't hurt I'm asking the right guy. I think 1469 01:15:11,120 --> 01:15:15,080 Speaker 1: Brandon Weed, and they made clear through their comments, and 1470 01:15:15,120 --> 01:15:17,200 Speaker 1: we've heard some things behind the scenes that he didn't 1471 01:15:17,800 --> 01:15:20,800 Speaker 1: really for you. It's like a mother turned to pick 1472 01:15:20,840 --> 01:15:23,040 Speaker 1: a favorite between two sons. Well, I don't know where 1473 01:15:23,040 --> 01:15:25,040 Speaker 1: you got the idea that I liked Brandon Weed, and 1474 01:15:26,000 --> 01:15:30,320 Speaker 1: you were of him after he came in. But I 1475 01:15:30,400 --> 01:15:33,400 Speaker 1: was defending was the Dallas Cowboys defense. And I couldn't 1476 01:15:33,400 --> 01:15:36,439 Speaker 1: have been more wrong about that because they did collapse 1477 01:15:36,600 --> 01:15:39,360 Speaker 1: after those first couple of weeks, but now they are back. 1478 01:15:39,520 --> 01:15:43,000 Speaker 1: DeMarcus Lawrence is a good pass ushure. Greg Hardy is 1479 01:15:43,040 --> 01:15:45,200 Speaker 1: making a big difference. You have shan Lee, you have 1480 01:15:45,400 --> 01:15:48,799 Speaker 1: Landa McClain. I think their defense now you throw Castle 1481 01:15:48,920 --> 01:15:51,679 Speaker 1: in your at least can be competitive in these games 1482 01:15:51,680 --> 01:15:54,240 Speaker 1: and have a better chance to win. Anytime you have 1483 01:15:54,280 --> 01:15:57,200 Speaker 1: a chance to just pump your fist. I do. I 1484 01:15:57,240 --> 01:16:00,559 Speaker 1: do that all the time. That means it's stuck out 1485 01:16:00,600 --> 01:16:04,400 Speaker 1: a little bit. I was just making sure West new 1486 01:16:04,479 --> 01:16:08,960 Speaker 1: the opinion. There's a little heat between you and West 1487 01:16:09,040 --> 01:16:12,920 Speaker 1: right now because West you called Greg the patron saying 1488 01:16:12,960 --> 01:16:15,839 Speaker 1: of bad quarterback player or something. He loves bad quarterback 1489 01:16:15,920 --> 01:16:19,240 Speaker 1: and Greg that rubs Greg the wrong way as a scientist. 1490 01:16:19,520 --> 01:16:22,000 Speaker 1: So all of a sudden, here here's the old Zuss 1491 01:16:22,120 --> 01:16:24,880 Speaker 1: just having a scientist on scientists crime. He's just having fun. 1492 01:16:25,000 --> 01:16:28,800 Speaker 1: You know, Westlakes like only seven players in the NFL history, 1493 01:16:28,840 --> 01:16:30,519 Speaker 1: and they've all made the Hall of Fame. It's like 1494 01:16:30,840 --> 01:16:32,600 Speaker 1: you can like players that aren't the best players in 1495 01:16:32,640 --> 01:16:35,800 Speaker 1: the league, and right and case Keenum, right, pick some 1496 01:16:35,880 --> 01:16:39,320 Speaker 1: weird ones. Matt Castle's fine, I've roomed for Matt Castle. 1497 01:16:39,360 --> 01:16:41,720 Speaker 1: What's wrong with that chance? Any chance you have to 1498 01:16:41,720 --> 01:16:44,679 Speaker 1: put Joe back, Joe buck and Troy Hickman on Matt 1499 01:16:44,720 --> 01:16:46,960 Speaker 1: Castle to cool Beasley connection, you have to do it. 1500 01:16:48,040 --> 01:16:50,320 Speaker 1: They probably got to that's the terrible game. Why don't 1501 01:16:50,360 --> 01:16:52,479 Speaker 1: anybody wants I'm not excited for it? And they probably 1502 01:16:52,479 --> 01:16:56,320 Speaker 1: got old Tom Brenneman on this big Bombo because Joe 1503 01:16:56,360 --> 01:17:00,960 Speaker 1: buck Uh is doing baseball. Tom had uh something we 1504 01:17:01,080 --> 01:17:06,400 Speaker 1: like to call around here, La Raville magnificence. Do we 1505 01:17:06,439 --> 01:17:14,680 Speaker 1: have that city magnifico? What was it last week and 1506 01:17:14,720 --> 01:17:19,040 Speaker 1: the Cardinals Steelers game when he thought the Steelers scored 1507 01:17:19,080 --> 01:17:22,360 Speaker 1: a touchdown because one of the Cardinals players had touched it. 1508 01:17:22,360 --> 01:17:24,519 Speaker 1: It's it's complicated, but he had no idea what the 1509 01:17:24,600 --> 01:17:27,720 Speaker 1: rules of the game were on a punt after the 1510 01:17:27,920 --> 01:17:29,960 Speaker 1: you know, punting team touches the ball first, so he 1511 01:17:29,960 --> 01:17:31,800 Speaker 1: thought it was a live ball. He thought it was 1512 01:17:31,840 --> 01:17:34,719 Speaker 1: a big play. No one corrected him for forty five seconds. 1513 01:17:34,720 --> 01:17:37,120 Speaker 1: It was a huge moment in the game. And he's 1514 01:17:37,160 --> 01:17:41,519 Speaker 1: the play by play guy about it. I really get 1515 01:17:41,560 --> 01:17:44,040 Speaker 1: the UFC guy back. I was offended, Like Joe Buck, 1516 01:17:44,080 --> 01:17:46,479 Speaker 1: primarily a baseball guy and also the son of a 1517 01:17:46,520 --> 01:17:49,920 Speaker 1: broadcasting legend. Okay, then don't then don't put it on 1518 01:17:50,040 --> 01:17:52,519 Speaker 1: the number one game. Don't don't be knocking Tom Brandon. 1519 01:17:52,600 --> 01:17:54,840 Speaker 1: He's a Cincinnati legend. And for those of you who 1520 01:17:54,840 --> 01:18:03,240 Speaker 1: do not know what the real Magnifico's great dances. That 1521 01:18:03,400 --> 01:18:06,720 Speaker 1: is when someone it could be in casual conversation at 1522 01:18:06,720 --> 01:18:09,920 Speaker 1: a party or at work, or you're watching someone on 1523 01:18:10,000 --> 01:18:13,600 Speaker 1: television or an analyst where they say something and immediately 1524 01:18:13,680 --> 01:18:16,479 Speaker 1: in your mind you note, I cannot, I can never 1525 01:18:16,479 --> 01:18:19,680 Speaker 1: take you seriously again. You just just revealed. It's a 1526 01:18:19,760 --> 01:18:23,519 Speaker 1: great reveal anyway, where worried, Oh believe it loosely translate 1527 01:18:23,600 --> 01:18:28,080 Speaker 1: to the magnificent H O. D. B. By the way, 1528 01:18:28,160 --> 01:18:29,640 Speaker 1: keep an eye on this because we knew we had 1529 01:18:29,680 --> 01:18:32,720 Speaker 1: the hamstring issues. Um last year they cost them four 1530 01:18:32,760 --> 01:18:37,679 Speaker 1: games and all the preseason, and uh. Tom Coughlin said 1531 01:18:37,680 --> 01:18:40,479 Speaker 1: Thursday that you know, there is a chance where they 1532 01:18:40,520 --> 01:18:42,639 Speaker 1: might have to go that route where he doesn't practice 1533 01:18:42,720 --> 01:18:45,719 Speaker 1: really ever and just plays on Sunday. So this could 1534 01:18:45,720 --> 01:18:47,400 Speaker 1: be something that sticks around. And they don't have their 1535 01:18:47,400 --> 01:18:49,880 Speaker 1: bye week till week eleven. So if Odell is gonna 1536 01:18:49,880 --> 01:18:51,240 Speaker 1: stay in the field, he's gonna have to gut it out. 1537 01:18:51,280 --> 01:18:54,120 Speaker 1: And West, I know he's your boy, but toughness. Can 1538 01:18:54,120 --> 01:18:55,800 Speaker 1: he be trusted to stay on the field and get 1539 01:18:55,840 --> 01:18:59,920 Speaker 1: this done and be a transcendent playoff? I don't question 1540 01:19:00,160 --> 01:19:03,320 Speaker 1: people's toughness for hamstrings, you can either you either. I mean, 1541 01:19:03,360 --> 01:19:06,879 Speaker 1: if you're ever bad hamstring, you can't do anything alright. Um. 1542 01:19:07,000 --> 01:19:09,920 Speaker 1: One other thing about this game, though, a man you'd 1543 01:19:09,920 --> 01:19:13,759 Speaker 1: like to call Christine Kristen Michael Christine, how Boys coaches 1544 01:19:13,800 --> 01:19:15,680 Speaker 1: are talking about talking him up. He's gonna have a 1545 01:19:15,680 --> 01:19:18,879 Speaker 1: bigger rule this week. You know again, West's Boys, Cowboys 1546 01:19:18,920 --> 01:19:21,960 Speaker 1: are gonna win this. Yes, I do because none of 1547 01:19:22,000 --> 01:19:23,800 Speaker 1: these teams are going to be able to go away 1548 01:19:23,800 --> 01:19:25,760 Speaker 1: and hide it had it has to be a three 1549 01:19:25,800 --> 01:19:28,439 Speaker 1: team race, I feel like all season, and so with 1550 01:19:28,560 --> 01:19:30,800 Speaker 1: that in mind, the Cowboys will win. I like that 1551 01:19:31,200 --> 01:19:34,280 Speaker 1: we all picked the Giants except for the renegade Connor 1552 01:19:34,479 --> 01:19:37,720 Speaker 1: Or he must be looking at your picks. He has 1553 01:19:37,760 --> 01:19:40,400 Speaker 1: to be at this point. And again, none of it 1554 01:19:40,439 --> 01:19:43,000 Speaker 1: really matters because for all of his his picks, he's 1555 01:19:43,080 --> 01:19:45,759 Speaker 1: in second to last place, not not buried by any stretch. 1556 01:19:45,840 --> 01:19:48,280 Speaker 1: But um, you know, it all kind of works out. 1557 01:19:48,360 --> 01:19:54,240 Speaker 1: Nothing matters, basically, alright. Moving on, the Philadelphia Eagles got 1558 01:19:54,280 --> 01:19:57,040 Speaker 1: that win over the Giants on Monday night despite their 1559 01:19:57,120 --> 01:20:00,160 Speaker 1: quarterback playing terribly, leaving some more questions about what's going 1560 01:20:00,200 --> 01:20:02,280 Speaker 1: on in Philly. But at the end of the day, 1561 01:20:02,280 --> 01:20:04,240 Speaker 1: they're in three three and three and tie the top 1562 01:20:04,320 --> 01:20:07,840 Speaker 1: the NFC East and now they face, yes, the undefeated 1563 01:20:07,880 --> 01:20:10,920 Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers. And uh, how about what Camp said, by 1564 01:20:10,920 --> 01:20:14,040 Speaker 1: the way on Wednesday, Um, he pitched the idea and 1565 01:20:14,080 --> 01:20:15,519 Speaker 1: I don't even know if he was joking it was 1566 01:20:15,800 --> 01:20:20,080 Speaker 1: he said he doesn't he finds the entire media uh 1567 01:20:20,280 --> 01:20:23,880 Speaker 1: comical at times, and that would include us. Um for 1568 01:20:24,120 --> 01:20:27,080 Speaker 1: making predictions, and then even though we have the chance 1569 01:20:27,120 --> 01:20:29,799 Speaker 1: to back off certain things, we don't ever take ownership 1570 01:20:29,920 --> 01:20:32,680 Speaker 1: of wrong predictions. But we love to bury. So his 1571 01:20:32,800 --> 01:20:36,360 Speaker 1: plan was, you make a wrong prediction, media, you get 1572 01:20:36,360 --> 01:20:39,280 Speaker 1: it deducted from your pay, get a right prediction, get 1573 01:20:39,320 --> 01:20:42,599 Speaker 1: some more money it stop making predictions, and that'd be fine. 1574 01:20:42,600 --> 01:20:45,720 Speaker 1: I think predictions are overrated. We do a lot of him. 1575 01:20:45,800 --> 01:20:49,120 Speaker 1: I get we do, but I think you listen to 1576 01:20:49,280 --> 01:20:53,720 Speaker 1: literally of this show, that's not true at all. You 1577 01:20:53,920 --> 01:20:55,920 Speaker 1: just say it as an off handed thing. And I 1578 01:20:56,000 --> 01:20:58,559 Speaker 1: think the people listening to the show, if they like 1579 01:20:58,720 --> 01:21:00,920 Speaker 1: the show, they like it because of the interaction. They 1580 01:21:00,920 --> 01:21:04,240 Speaker 1: like because the analysis the information. They don't like like 1581 01:21:04,320 --> 01:21:06,519 Speaker 1: who cares who wins or loses, because no one in 1582 01:21:06,560 --> 01:21:09,200 Speaker 1: the end ever remembers that. I would love for people 1583 01:21:09,240 --> 01:21:11,840 Speaker 1: to track our predictions, but I don't really care about 1584 01:21:11,880 --> 01:21:14,040 Speaker 1: who wins the game, and that's the kind of prediction 1585 01:21:14,080 --> 01:21:15,880 Speaker 1: I don't really care. Get my lunch dot org right, 1586 01:21:15,880 --> 01:21:18,559 Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm not. I know enough to know that 1587 01:21:18,600 --> 01:21:20,559 Speaker 1: we don't know anything in terms of being able to 1588 01:21:20,600 --> 01:21:23,599 Speaker 1: predict things. Right. If if you're great at predicting things, 1589 01:21:23,840 --> 01:21:27,080 Speaker 1: then over a five year stretch. Maybe you'll be good 1590 01:21:27,080 --> 01:21:30,320 Speaker 1: at being fifty eight percent instead of fifty two. But 1591 01:21:30,400 --> 01:21:33,439 Speaker 1: who's who's ever going to keep track of that? Nobody, 1592 01:21:33,600 --> 01:21:37,920 Speaker 1: nobody's qualified to judge. It has annoyed by Cam's comments. No, 1593 01:21:38,040 --> 01:21:41,320 Speaker 1: it's fun It was. It was funny. He was saying, Oh, 1594 01:21:41,400 --> 01:21:43,639 Speaker 1: I don't you know Someone asked if he would get 1595 01:21:43,680 --> 01:21:46,280 Speaker 1: into TV after his career, is like, no, I wouldn't never, 1596 01:21:46,760 --> 01:21:49,080 Speaker 1: I'm not into that. And then someone's like, but didn't 1597 01:21:49,120 --> 01:21:51,559 Speaker 1: you just sign up to do a TV show? I 1598 01:21:51,560 --> 01:21:53,800 Speaker 1: thought that was funny, but it was not a show 1599 01:21:53,840 --> 01:21:56,479 Speaker 1: as a commentator. It was a show on Nickelodeon. What 1600 01:21:56,479 --> 01:21:59,240 Speaker 1: are he was doing with kids? Well? This is you know, 1601 01:21:59,640 --> 01:22:01,840 Speaker 1: maybe him is just feeling his oats right now. He's 1602 01:22:02,080 --> 01:22:07,400 Speaker 1: becoming a better, more consistent passer and now he's just 1603 01:22:07,560 --> 01:22:10,200 Speaker 1: letting it fly because he's got that sort of confidence 1604 01:22:10,240 --> 01:22:13,360 Speaker 1: after that fourth quarter performance in Seattle. He knows he 1605 01:22:13,400 --> 01:22:15,479 Speaker 1: can conquer all. I mean, that is the difference this here, 1606 01:22:15,479 --> 01:22:18,040 Speaker 1: I think with Cam is he's more consistent. He's not 1607 01:22:18,080 --> 01:22:20,600 Speaker 1: having those stinker games or stinker halfs like he used to. 1608 01:22:21,160 --> 01:22:23,280 Speaker 1: What about this game? Is this a game where West 1609 01:22:23,320 --> 01:22:26,759 Speaker 1: where the Eagles offense, which really is hard to figure 1610 01:22:26,760 --> 01:22:28,400 Speaker 1: out right now. They did get their running game on 1611 01:22:28,439 --> 01:22:31,080 Speaker 1: track with DeMarco Murray last week, but Bradford still not 1612 01:22:31,200 --> 01:22:33,680 Speaker 1: playing well. As I said earlier, Uh this, they could 1613 01:22:33,680 --> 01:22:36,599 Speaker 1: get in a bad spot on the road in Carolina here. Yeah, 1614 01:22:36,600 --> 01:22:39,920 Speaker 1: these teams are pretty even personnel wise except for the quarterbacks, 1615 01:22:39,920 --> 01:22:43,000 Speaker 1: I think. And you could look at it like the 1616 01:22:43,040 --> 01:22:46,200 Speaker 1: Panthers aren't really five and oh good, there could there 1617 01:22:46,200 --> 01:22:48,280 Speaker 1: could be a letdown game coming off of the big 1618 01:22:48,320 --> 01:22:51,200 Speaker 1: win in Seattle. But then I watched their game and 1619 01:22:51,200 --> 01:22:52,760 Speaker 1: and I wanted to pick the Eagles, and I just 1620 01:22:52,800 --> 01:22:56,439 Speaker 1: can't because the Panthers defense with Luke kickleback and Kawan 1621 01:22:56,600 --> 01:22:59,479 Speaker 1: Short playing so great, Josh Norman playing better than any 1622 01:22:59,520 --> 01:23:03,040 Speaker 1: quarterback in the league. I just can't pick against their defense. 1623 01:23:03,040 --> 01:23:05,439 Speaker 1: They're so good. And I really do like the Eagles 1624 01:23:05,479 --> 01:23:08,519 Speaker 1: defense too. Ron Rivera doesn't get enough credit in this 1625 01:23:08,600 --> 01:23:10,880 Speaker 1: room and from I had included myself on that because 1626 01:23:10,880 --> 01:23:13,800 Speaker 1: we picked on his love love river management at some 1627 01:23:13,880 --> 01:23:15,840 Speaker 1: point is clock management. But you don't think of him 1628 01:23:15,840 --> 01:23:17,479 Speaker 1: as one of the best coaches in the league. He 1629 01:23:17,479 --> 01:23:20,559 Speaker 1: doesn't get to based on results and what he's done 1630 01:23:20,600 --> 01:23:23,120 Speaker 1: with that team. And really just that defense. But that's 1631 01:23:23,200 --> 01:23:25,120 Speaker 1: for the most part what head coaches are. They're gonna 1632 01:23:25,160 --> 01:23:28,719 Speaker 1: specialize in one thing. He didn't have Luke Keikley for 1633 01:23:28,720 --> 01:23:31,519 Speaker 1: for most of this stretch. He hasn't had Charles Johnson. 1634 01:23:31,880 --> 01:23:34,679 Speaker 1: He's had Josh Norman and Kawan Short as the two 1635 01:23:34,720 --> 01:23:38,240 Speaker 1: best defensive players on a dominant defense. And that is 1636 01:23:38,280 --> 01:23:39,800 Speaker 1: a time where you gotta give a lot of credit 1637 01:23:39,880 --> 01:23:43,800 Speaker 1: to the coach. Sean mcdermot's gotta Sean McCarney. He's got 1638 01:23:43,800 --> 01:23:46,840 Speaker 1: a system that works, that it works every year that 1639 01:23:46,920 --> 01:23:49,320 Speaker 1: you can put in benwi Bernickery or whatever. I can't 1640 01:23:49,320 --> 01:23:53,920 Speaker 1: even say that you know what this team needs. Steve 1641 01:23:54,000 --> 01:23:56,719 Speaker 1: Smith's son Peyton, took the Twitter today and said Panther 1642 01:23:56,760 --> 01:23:59,519 Speaker 1: should trade all the receivers to Baltimore and bring back 1643 01:23:59,560 --> 01:24:03,479 Speaker 1: my dad. Now. Yahoo came out and shot down that report. 1644 01:24:03,520 --> 01:24:05,639 Speaker 1: They said they have a source that says the Ravens 1645 01:24:05,640 --> 01:24:07,600 Speaker 1: are more likely to try to convince Steve Smith to 1646 01:24:07,600 --> 01:24:10,000 Speaker 1: return for another year than to trade him. But I 1647 01:24:10,040 --> 01:24:12,000 Speaker 1: just feel like that would be an awesome trade because 1648 01:24:12,439 --> 01:24:15,360 Speaker 1: the Panthers, what they their team weakness is that the 1649 01:24:15,520 --> 01:24:18,719 Speaker 1: receivers lack any semblance of physicality and don't really catch 1650 01:24:18,760 --> 01:24:21,000 Speaker 1: the ball. Welleve Smith would be great standing in the 1651 01:24:21,000 --> 01:24:23,240 Speaker 1: way other than I guess, yes there is bad blood, 1652 01:24:23,240 --> 01:24:26,559 Speaker 1: but that's he took a blow towards to their front. 1653 01:24:27,720 --> 01:24:32,160 Speaker 1: But that that's big super Bowl here and they need 1654 01:24:32,200 --> 01:24:35,080 Speaker 1: a wide receiver and the Ravens. Listen, if Steve Smith 1655 01:24:35,120 --> 01:24:37,600 Speaker 1: tells the Ravens I'm not playing another year, and the 1656 01:24:37,680 --> 01:24:40,360 Speaker 1: Ravens are and also ran team by the time we 1657 01:24:40,400 --> 01:24:43,080 Speaker 1: get to November, there to me, there's no reason why 1658 01:24:43,080 --> 01:24:44,880 Speaker 1: you wouldn't move him if he if he wanted to 1659 01:24:44,880 --> 01:24:47,120 Speaker 1: be moved. But we don't even know if that's the case. Well, 1660 01:24:47,120 --> 01:24:48,719 Speaker 1: they got about it, what a week and a half 1661 01:24:49,200 --> 01:24:51,439 Speaker 1: before the trade deadline, so the Ravens would have to 1662 01:24:51,439 --> 01:24:54,240 Speaker 1: be waving the white flag, which might be tough for 1663 01:24:54,280 --> 01:24:56,800 Speaker 1: them to Why is that so early, that's always when 1664 01:24:56,800 --> 01:24:59,040 Speaker 1: it is. They actually moved back a couple of weeks. 1665 01:24:59,360 --> 01:25:03,400 Speaker 1: A few years to go used to be ridiculous. I 1666 01:25:03,920 --> 01:25:05,800 Speaker 1: want to see this trade. I want to see Steve 1667 01:25:05,800 --> 01:25:09,240 Speaker 1: Smith in the playoffs one more time. Really seal up 1668 01:25:09,280 --> 01:25:11,120 Speaker 1: that Hall of Fame. It would be cool Steve Smith 1669 01:25:11,320 --> 01:25:14,439 Speaker 1: and Jonathan Stewart together playing well. I mean, I I've 1670 01:25:14,560 --> 01:25:16,880 Speaker 1: always loved Jonathan Stewart's been one of my favorite. He 1671 01:25:16,920 --> 01:25:19,040 Speaker 1: didn't look good this year until the Seattle but he's 1672 01:25:19,040 --> 01:25:21,080 Speaker 1: starting to look good. I think he's been better than 1673 01:25:21,120 --> 01:25:23,360 Speaker 1: his numbers. He's not the same guy he used to be, 1674 01:25:23,360 --> 01:25:28,000 Speaker 1: but he's running tough. And finally the Monday night game, uh, 1675 01:25:28,080 --> 01:25:31,880 Speaker 1: the aforementioned Baltimore Ravens and one in five. Uh they 1676 01:25:31,960 --> 01:25:36,120 Speaker 1: travel to Arizona Glendale to face the Cardinals, who are 1677 01:25:36,160 --> 01:25:40,479 Speaker 1: four and two and uh, you know, as we said, 1678 01:25:40,560 --> 01:25:43,000 Speaker 1: the Cardinals are just one and two. Since being named 1679 01:25:43,280 --> 01:25:49,040 Speaker 1: the Team of around the NFL, it is a a 1680 01:25:49,160 --> 01:25:52,639 Speaker 1: very special honor. Um. So perhaps they're pressing a little bit. 1681 01:25:52,880 --> 01:25:54,719 Speaker 1: But at the same time, this feels like a really 1682 01:25:54,800 --> 01:25:57,880 Speaker 1: nice matchup in prime time. They got an extra day 1683 01:25:57,960 --> 01:26:00,719 Speaker 1: to rest, rest up, and now they get a Ravens 1684 01:26:00,720 --> 01:26:02,840 Speaker 1: team that's been you know, there were fortunate to even 1685 01:26:02,880 --> 01:26:06,559 Speaker 1: have one win this season. So, um, Greg, you're you're saying, 1686 01:26:06,600 --> 01:26:08,560 Speaker 1: maybe you disagree, this feels like a spot where the 1687 01:26:08,560 --> 01:26:11,200 Speaker 1: Cardinals are gonna roll. What do you think? I agree? 1688 01:26:11,520 --> 01:26:13,640 Speaker 1: I think the Ravens are better than most one in 1689 01:26:13,720 --> 01:26:16,720 Speaker 1: five teams, certainly, and they've been in really every game 1690 01:26:16,720 --> 01:26:20,280 Speaker 1: and I hear what you're saying, but they could by 1691 01:26:20,320 --> 01:26:22,759 Speaker 1: that logic there there also could be three and three 1692 01:26:22,880 --> 01:26:24,720 Speaker 1: or four and two because they're they're in every game 1693 01:26:24,760 --> 01:26:26,719 Speaker 1: at the end, and the offense has been looking better. 1694 01:26:26,840 --> 01:26:28,920 Speaker 1: The offensive line has been looking better. I think they 1695 01:26:29,000 --> 01:26:31,400 Speaker 1: have some signs of life on offense. But when you 1696 01:26:31,439 --> 01:26:34,760 Speaker 1: play the Cardinals, you better have a complete team, and 1697 01:26:34,960 --> 01:26:36,599 Speaker 1: I don't think the Ravens do. And I think they're 1698 01:26:36,640 --> 01:26:39,519 Speaker 1: gonna give up thirtys in this game and they're gonna lose. 1699 01:26:40,120 --> 01:26:44,120 Speaker 1: Cardinals play with so much energy at home and on 1700 01:26:44,240 --> 01:26:46,679 Speaker 1: national TV on top of it, after coming off a loss. 1701 01:26:46,800 --> 01:26:49,479 Speaker 1: This is a buzz soule for the Ravens. I agree 1702 01:26:49,920 --> 01:26:54,200 Speaker 1: they had some good things in that Steelers game that 1703 01:26:54,200 --> 01:26:57,639 Speaker 1: that was new even though they lost the game. I mean, 1704 01:26:58,200 --> 01:27:01,240 Speaker 1: Andrea Ellington's back and no one even cares or notices, 1705 01:27:01,400 --> 01:27:04,880 Speaker 1: but he is a nice addition, especially because he's no 1706 01:27:05,000 --> 01:27:09,000 Speaker 1: longer the primary carrier. He is a great, great third 1707 01:27:09,040 --> 01:27:11,360 Speaker 1: down back, if that's essentially what he is. I mean, 1708 01:27:11,400 --> 01:27:13,719 Speaker 1: he's he is one of the best two minute drillbacks 1709 01:27:13,720 --> 01:27:16,560 Speaker 1: in the league because he can actually play wide receiver exactly, 1710 01:27:16,600 --> 01:27:18,439 Speaker 1: and then he they hit him downfield on a big 1711 01:27:18,439 --> 01:27:20,559 Speaker 1: play last week because of that. So that's a nice 1712 01:27:20,600 --> 01:27:23,360 Speaker 1: little addition you added to your team right there. I 1713 01:27:23,400 --> 01:27:25,960 Speaker 1: have a new not a new stable of boys, but 1714 01:27:26,000 --> 01:27:28,240 Speaker 1: one of my favorite players to watch the entire league 1715 01:27:28,280 --> 01:27:31,360 Speaker 1: is Honey Badger. I love watching that guy. He does 1716 01:27:31,479 --> 01:27:34,719 Speaker 1: everything for them. He blitzes, he stuffs to run cover corner. 1717 01:27:35,080 --> 01:27:37,960 Speaker 1: He's all. He's always flying around blitz is. He's great. 1718 01:27:38,000 --> 01:27:40,439 Speaker 1: They're really good like the Patriots, and maybe even better 1719 01:27:40,439 --> 01:27:44,080 Speaker 1: at it. On defensive using players in different ways. Dan 1720 01:27:44,160 --> 01:27:47,080 Speaker 1: Buchanan essentially is a line linebacker. I mean he was 1721 01:27:47,080 --> 01:27:49,600 Speaker 1: playing great run support. They have six defensive backs on 1722 01:27:49,640 --> 01:27:52,120 Speaker 1: the field half the time, and they just deploy him 1723 01:27:52,120 --> 01:27:54,240 Speaker 1: in ways that teams have a have a tough time accounting. 1724 01:27:55,080 --> 01:27:57,360 Speaker 1: Doesn't get enough attention that they're really the only team 1725 01:27:57,360 --> 01:28:00,559 Speaker 1: in the league that constantly plays six defensive back. This 1726 01:28:00,600 --> 01:28:02,840 Speaker 1: is getting ridiculous. By the way I'm looking at these picks. 1727 01:28:03,160 --> 01:28:08,639 Speaker 1: Connor Or has taken the Baltimore Ravens, and Connor it's 1728 01:28:08,680 --> 01:28:12,080 Speaker 1: clearly he's now he's playing up to the camera or 1729 01:28:12,200 --> 01:28:15,120 Speaker 1: to the microphone. He has six hero picks this week, 1730 01:28:17,200 --> 01:28:19,600 Speaker 1: and he took the Eagles as well. Which would have 1731 01:28:19,640 --> 01:28:22,040 Speaker 1: been a hero but uh, Kevin Patrick also took the 1732 01:28:22,040 --> 01:28:25,320 Speaker 1: Eagles in the Panthers game. So you know this is 1733 01:28:25,360 --> 01:28:28,439 Speaker 1: a big week for a man overseas. Make a place. CJ. Moseley, 1734 01:28:28,720 --> 01:28:32,120 Speaker 1: remember that he has not had had a good second season. 1735 01:28:32,720 --> 01:28:35,759 Speaker 1: Uh So yes, that is the preview of week seven. 1736 01:28:36,080 --> 01:28:40,599 Speaker 1: We will be back um on Sunday night with our 1737 01:28:41,040 --> 01:28:44,720 Speaker 1: world famous iconic that seems a little you call it 1738 01:28:44,720 --> 01:28:49,479 Speaker 1: our flagship, our flagship program, the weekly recap show, So 1739 01:28:49,600 --> 01:28:52,439 Speaker 1: make sure you check back in with that with us 1740 01:28:52,439 --> 01:28:56,320 Speaker 1: on that on Sunday night, UM. But until then, this 1741 01:28:56,400 --> 01:29:00,280 Speaker 1: is Dan Hanson's signing off for The mail Man, The 1742 01:29:00,400 --> 01:29:04,439 Speaker 1: Boss Connor and Quiet Storm in England at Sydney behind 1743 01:29:04,479 --> 01:29:10,200 Speaker 1: the Glass until sum Day
