00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:05,560
Speaker 1: The Around the NFL Podcast never gets at Chris Wesley

00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:09,040
Speaker 1: references Welcome back to another edition of the Around the

3
00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:11,559
Speaker 1: NFL Podcast. My name is Dan Hansus, and I am

4
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:15,920
Speaker 1: joined by a room filled with heroes, Mark Sessler, Chris Westling,

5
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:20,040
Speaker 1: and Greg Girls thought. What's up boys, Hey, Dan, Hey,

6
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:23,919
Speaker 1: it's good to be back. Welcome back. Great job. I

7
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 1: was out of town tending to some family things in

8
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:32,600
Speaker 1: life on Sunday and you guys, excuse me for the

9
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:36,519
Speaker 1: baseball uh metaphor, Mark, but you guys knocked it out

10
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 1: of the park. I thought it was a it was

11
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:41,720
Speaker 1: a good show. Well, you know, it's not the same

12
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 1: without you in the house, certainly, No. But Colleen did

13
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:47,960
Speaker 1: great and uh, you know you MORKU made a veiled

14
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 1: reference to me, you know, maybe being out of the

15
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 1: office in an unjustified manner. I expected that that was fine.

16
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 1: I can only imagine what was being said while you

17
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 1: were cranking through the right ups. But it's okay, actually

18
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 1: mean nothing. But I you know, I thought that was

19
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 1: one of the quickest shots out of the gate, the

20
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 1: one I took it. You right, but today wes right

21
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 1: in the you know, before you even get a chance

22
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 1: to speak Matt money Smith taking it down. Well, it's

23
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 1: a factual statement. My references usually go, I mean, let's

24
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 1: look at the other night. I try to make a

25
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,679
Speaker 1: couple of Howard Jones references and Rosenthal tramples all over.

26
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:23,120
Speaker 1: I still I still don't know who Howard Jones is.

27
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 1: I'm sure most of don't. You also made one during

28
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:28,680
Speaker 1: the show on Sunday West, like a welcome back Cotter

29
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 1: reference from some sort It was some seventies sitcom was

30
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 1: referenced at one point. I don't think so. Am I

31
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 1: the only one that's a little worried that Dan said

32
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:39,400
Speaker 1: we knocked it out of the park? Because if I

33
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 1: know Dan, I he usually comes back a little like

34
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 1: annoyed if things go too well without him. So if

35
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 1: he said that we knocked it out of the park,

36
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 1: he's kind of like, oh yeah, I think I think

37
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 1: you're reading this situation correctly. It was fine, the show

38
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 1: was fine. You guys are all prevented. He seems pretty

39
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 1: bunk right now. That's silly. I try to pay a compliment.

40
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 1: This what's happened, That is what happens to me. Well,

41
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:08,919
Speaker 1: how about a sincere compliment? I mean whatever, that's why

42
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 1: that's how you get for trying to be a nice guy.

43
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:13,239
Speaker 1: That's why I prefer to keep it real and be evil.

44
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 1: This is the Tuesday edition of the Around the NFL podcast.

45
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 1: A big show. Big show coming up is week five.

46
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 1: Now in the rear view, see how it keeps moving

47
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:26,360
Speaker 1: Mark And a lot of times in August or so,

48
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: you'll say, I can't believe this is starting again. There's

49
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 1: no escape and all that stuff. But then once we

50
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 1: get in the season, it just flies. I'm actually enjoying

51
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 1: this season much more than some in the past. Is

52
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 1: it because you've been a little at a little distance

53
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 1: from all the losing of the Browns, although maybe they're not.

54
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 1: I brought my a game, I got a lot of it.

55
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 1: That's good. He's got more confidence. I thought we were

56
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 1: trying to be since around here. All right, Well, now

57
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 1: I'm enjoying it. This has been great. It is flying.

58
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 1: I can't believe aardy by and by week five in

59
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 1: the books that ended on Monday night with another good

60
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 1: prime time game. We've had quite a string of solid

61
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 1: prime time games this year. Um uh. This time a

62
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 1: big crushing loss for the Charges, which we'll get into. Uh.

63
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 1: The Steelers getting a win after their tough primetime lost

75
00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 1: so that well, it's some news and then uh, we

76
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 1: will take out the forks. We've we've forked to date.

77
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 1: I wrote this down. I think we've forked huh huh

78
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 1: nine teams out of uh shocking that you failed your

79
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 1: state mandated math exam that technique of thirty two teams,

80
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 1: nine have been forked and we're gonna fork at least

81
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 1: two more today, So that means two teams. Uh, we'll

82
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 1: have forked at least two teams. That's eleven twelve make

83
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 1: the playoffs. We we've already determined the season. Really, I

84
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 1: mean we we only have nine more to eliminate until

85
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 1: we know the playoffs. And we I feel like today

86
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 1: we should probably cut the fork. Um maybe with a

87
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:54,239
Speaker 1: knife kill me. Uh, we should cut the fork probably

88
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 1: after what week seven or so. We can't drag it

89
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 1: out too long with the fork, right, Yeah, I mean

90
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 1: this year, what we did, we if we actually you know,

91
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:05,600
Speaker 1: orchestrated this segment effectively for the first time ever. Yeah,

92
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,720
Speaker 1: it took three years and we and apparently, uh, you know,

93
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 1: I came back and I've been told I have to

94
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 1: write the written piece, which means I'm going to take

95
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 1: all the heat from the bloggers around the country for

96
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:17,719
Speaker 1: telling them that their seasons are over. But like I

97
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 1: said to Greg, put it on me. Calm down, bloggers,

98
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: put it on me, boss, all right, So you can

99
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,360
Speaker 1: take it. We'll take the So the fork, we're gonna

100
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 1: hit the fork conversation and then we're gonna do a

101
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:31,479
Speaker 1: TNF preview Thursday Night Football, that is the Falcons at

102
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 1: Saints and C plus game. But we will inject a

103
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 1: lot of interesting insight into the mesa Greg's favorite rivalry

104
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:41,720
Speaker 1: in the NFL. You like you do? Like that one.

105
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 1: I always talk it up because they actually have great games.

106
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,839
Speaker 1: And even if there's a bad team that particular year

107
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 1: and there, and they're always there, seems to be lately

108
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 1: one of them is bad. Uh, then they still man

109
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 1: used to have a good game. It's the opposite of

110
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 1: Jets Patriots, which gets all the hypes and never has

111
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,039
Speaker 1: any good games. Is it still getting a lot of

112
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 1: hyper maybe? La. Actually both games were decided by less

113
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 1: than three points, but that's that's neither here nor there.

114
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:07,839
Speaker 1: All right, let's let's get into the Monday night game.

115
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:15,839
Speaker 1: Ha sinn Levy on Bell scored on a one yard

116
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 1: Wildcat run the Wildcat's back baby as time expired, giving

117
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:25,360
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Steelers in their backup quarterback Michael vick Ain

118
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:29,040
Speaker 1: over the San Diego Chargers on Monday night in what

119
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:35,799
Speaker 1: I call hinz west Um also Qualcom Stadium. A play

120
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 1: and that Bell runs, set up, of course by a

121
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 1: drive down the field by Vic five seconds on the clock.

122
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 1: They had a time out in their pocket after a

123
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 1: personal foul call, uh, following reception to the one yard line,

124
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 1: and what does he do what was Mike Tomado or

125
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 1: Big Ben or whoever he's calling us offense, Todd Halley.

126
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 1: He chooses a run that's actually takes up five seconds

127
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:01,159
Speaker 1: and ended up being a touchdown just barrel Mark Sessler,

128
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 1: and let's face it, if he doesn't get over the

129
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:07,159
Speaker 1: line there and they lose, the Steelers are getting killed

130
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 1: on Tuesday morning. That's what I have to respect about

131
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 1: Tomlin and the Steelers in general. They go for the

132
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 1: throat and they are a team that, even though they

133
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 1: played a pretty poor game on offense for most of

134
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 1: the night, the way they came back, I feel like

135
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 1: the Steelers do this all the time. They did it

136
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 1: against the Titans last season. You just cannot count Pittsburgh out. Well,

137
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 1: they went for it and it wasn't just that play.

138
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 1: I love that on second down with seventeen seconds left,

139
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 1: they finally get into position, immediately they throw a bomb.

140
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 1: They throw to the end zone in Darius Heyward Bay.

141
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 1: They're trying to get the win. They're not playing for

142
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 1: overtime like we see in so many of these games.

143
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 1: With that all said, I think the idea with them

144
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 1: running on the goal line was they could still get

145
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 1: the field goal. I mean, levy on Bell said it

146
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 1: after the game. He was like, well, I just thought,

147
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 1: you know, we could use four seconds and then we

148
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 1: take take it. They take the time out, I think

149
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 1: they're thinking running in there quick, and we still it

150
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 1: was a bay call. Let's still have a chance to

151
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 1: get the touchdown. But levy on Bell so patient and

152
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 1: he's also so good with his second effort that the

153
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 1: play just took longer than that and it didn't matter.

154
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 1: But if you call, and I'm not gonna question their

155
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 1: offensive minds completely, but if you call like a halfback dive,

156
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 1: it's not gonna take five seconds. But wildcat at you

157
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,239
Speaker 1: know you're taking the shop out basically a shotgun snap.

158
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 1: You gotta look for the whole I mean, that was

159
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 1: a really risky call, right, Wes. I mean knowing if

160
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 1: they would have lost the game with a time out

161
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 1: in their pocket. They got lucky and he just barely

162
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 1: got in. I couldn't agree more. I didn't it blew

163
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 1: my mind that they were trying a wildcat in that situation.

164
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,560
Speaker 1: Why not just use Vic for the quarterback dive or

165
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 1: something where you do have another chance if that doesn't

166
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:41,679
Speaker 1: work out. But I think, to me, when I think

167
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 1: about this game, it's hard to overstate how safe the

168
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 1: Chargers lead felt. At seventeen to ten. The only Steelers

169
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 1: touchdown was a pick six. They weren't moving the ball.

170
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 1: Vick was playing horribly. Todd Haley must believe the biggest

171
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:57,960
Speaker 1: drop off in the league from starter to back up

172
00:08:58,000 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 1: his big ben to Michael Vick, the way he's treated

173
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:03,320
Speaker 1: Dick well and it, and it's looked like it. I mean,

174
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 1: Michael Vick has done nothing to disprove that until those

175
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 1: two drives, and well, one play later, Vick hits Wheaton

176
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:11,439
Speaker 1: for seventy two yards right back in it. But that's

177
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 1: when offensive coordinator Ben Roethlisberger stepped in with a stepped

178
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 1: in with a play call that you could have done

179
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 1: in your backyard at age four. Give me a break

180
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 1: and run as far as you can, and I'll throw

181
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 1: it as far as I can. Maybe maybe at least

182
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 1: he had a sense of what Mike Vick does well,

183
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 1: that he was struggling for confidence, and it's like, hey,

184
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 1: you know, the one thing we know for a fact

185
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 1: Michael Vick can still do. It's just step back there

186
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 1: and gun it, throw it deep, and he's really all

187
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 1: he's got like I mean, he did have a nice

188
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 1: twenty four yard run. They didn't even have any called,

189
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 1: you know, run play set up for him. He is

190
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,439
Speaker 1: playing handcuffed, it seems. But when he did get to

191
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 1: run that he set that helps set up the winning score,

192
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 1: the big run into the red zone. I mean also

193
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 1: on that that bomb, Brandon Flowers got absolutely smoked. It's

194
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,679
Speaker 1: nothing new. He got. The Bengals tortured him. He has

195
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 1: really struggled Sydney. I don't know if we have this

196
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:04,679
Speaker 1: will be a big test for Sydney, who's done a

197
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 1: great job so far rising within the media division here

198
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 1: at NFL. Okay, well, let's work on it. We'll talk

199
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 1: about it after the show. Now, you're right that that

200
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 1: that contract is killing them right now because he had

201
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 1: a great year last year, they reward him with the

202
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 1: big contract and he has really struggled. Our guy are

203
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 1: making the leap pick. Jason Barette stepped in last night

204
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 1: and had a good game, shutting down Antonio Brown. But

205
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 1: I disagree with you, Uh West on the play call

206
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 1: at the end, because to me, you had a chance

207
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 1: to get two plays and if for some reason it

208
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 1: went wrong and went five seconds and the game ended.

209
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 1: Everyone's gonna kill him, but you did it with the

210
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 1: best player on the field and one of the best

211
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 1: running backs wildcat right in theory, if he if he

212
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 1: is a little more decisive, doesn't that save time? You'd

213
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 1: have no handoff? I mean, he has the ball right away.

214
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:55,080
Speaker 1: So I don't see why. Why does a wildcat play

215
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 1: take longer than a normal shotgun snap or you know,

216
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 1: regular handoff. It seemed like it took longer. It did

217
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 1: because he he was very patient looking for the whole

218
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 1: and then when the when he picked the hole, he

219
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 1: bounced off the tackler and he just ended up being

220
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 1: a long play, which you know which happens. Can I

221
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:11,840
Speaker 1: just say, can I take a second? We don't like

222
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 1: to get, you know, talk religion here. That's for the

223
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:18,320
Speaker 1: theology podcast which is coming up eventually. But I want

224
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 1: to dear God, thank you Almighty the Powerful for letting

225
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,960
Speaker 1: Levy on Bell crossed the goal line there, because if

226
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:31,839
Speaker 1: he did not these talking points all week in the NFL,

227
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 1: we'd be writing fourteen posts about it would be the

228
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:38,200
Speaker 1: loss of eighteen seconds from the game clock up really

229
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 1: an inexcusable gaff by the game officials. And the scoreboard operator.

230
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:45,679
Speaker 1: After the drive that ended with the game winning touchdown,

231
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,719
Speaker 1: the ball is kicked off down in the end zone,

232
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 1: so the clock shouldn't move, and stead they run it

233
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 1: for eighteen seconds and nobody notices. My boy, Mike Tariko,

234
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 1: it's two weeks in a row. Um, this is this

235
00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:00,680
Speaker 1: is something. But also so did the scoreboard operator, and

236
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 1: then as did six game officials, including the side judge

237
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:08,959
Speaker 1: who was responsible. The NFL released a statement on Tuesday

238
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:13,559
Speaker 1: to our boy rap sheet, UH basically saying, yes, that

239
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 1: was something that was missed and that was the responsibility

240
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:18,840
Speaker 1: of that judge, but anybody could have fixed it, and

241
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 1: it's not a reviewable call. So thankfully the Steelers scored

242
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 1: that last play because they there would have been a

243
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 1: huge mess on their hands if he didn't. Absolutely, and

244
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:31,559
Speaker 1: this comes up more than we think. I remember there

245
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:33,960
Speaker 1: was I think it was a Cardinals game last year

246
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:36,680
Speaker 1: where something very similar happened. It wasn't as dramatic where

247
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 1: you scored a touchdown at the end of the game,

248
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:41,680
Speaker 1: where just people miss it in fifteen seconds go off

249
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:43,719
Speaker 1: the clock. I mean that. The thing that looks bad

250
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 1: is the scoreboard operator is always a local guy. It's

251
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:48,960
Speaker 1: like they don't you know. And I'm not saying anyone's

252
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 1: doing that. I'm saying it's not in purpose. It's some

253
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 1: it's someone that does college games, or it's a college official.

254
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 1: But it's just a bad look when you suddenly are

255
00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:00,839
Speaker 1: running off twenty seconds. It's a bad look when because

256
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 1: the way it operates is they use kind of local

257
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 1: guys during the regular season, but then once the postseason starts,

258
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 1: they ship in guys from wherever in the country. I

259
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 1: guess the best, Well they've contacted you about it, Mark,

260
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 1: because well, no, I would have your timing experience on

261
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 1: win West's Toast And I was replaced by a robot

262
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 1: on this show. And it is probably in my top

263
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 1: five list of jobs I wouldn't want because no one

264
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 1: if you do a good job, no one knows who

265
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 1: you are. The only time I'll ever know who you

266
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:31,319
Speaker 1: are is if you botch it. But we can't give

267
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 1: everything over to robots. And that's really are a robot

268
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:37,079
Speaker 1: podcast which is coming up a little later in years.

269
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 1: What gets handed over to the robots? What does man

270
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:44,080
Speaker 1: hold for himself until they figure out the catch roll?

271
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 1: I feel like all these little manufactured controversies don't matter

272
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 1: at all, because well, I mean, what are the rules

273
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 1: in this game anymore? I can finds a way to

274
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:58,559
Speaker 1: rail against the catch roll. I don't even care of

275
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 1: eighteen seconds came up the clock. That's not nearly as

276
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:03,439
Speaker 1: important as a guy getting credit for a catch he

277
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 1: didn't have or someone not getting credit. Should we should

278
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:09,319
Speaker 1: we talk about the Chargers fan performance because that they

279
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 1: were not They didn't show up. You know this happens

280
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 1: at Chargers at Chargers games, but for the big time

281
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 1: Chargers fans that are out there, this had to have

282
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 1: been a crushing loss to not be able to beat

283
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:22,920
Speaker 1: Mike Vick, who for three and a half quarters looked

284
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 1: like one of the very worst starters in the NFL

285
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 1: that you could have. I know the offensive line is

286
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 1: banged up, but you you have to find a way

287
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 1: to move the ball a little more than they did

288
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 1: against Pittsburgh. And I know there are passionate fans in

289
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 1: San Diego and Greg we've had this conversation slash argument

290
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 1: several times about you know, I didn't include them in

291
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 1: my pain rankings NFL dot Com slash Pain rankings, but like,

292
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 1: you cannot let forty five to fifty thousand Steelers fans

293
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 1: invade your building on a week night like that. I mean,

294
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 1: it was just a terrible showing for a franchise that's

295
00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 1: trying to figure out where they will be next to

296
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:01,160
Speaker 1: me and was trying to get to their fans, who

297
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 1: literally has said publicly the worst outcome in this whole

298
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,840
Speaker 1: scenario would be staying in San Diego while their teams

299
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 1: moving to l A. So you're saying the fan base

300
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 1: is kind of quitting on the idea of the charge

301
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 1: they have. They've never been a hardcore fan base in

302
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 1: terms of numbers. I don't think anyone would argue that,

303
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 1: but I I don't. I have no problem with fans

304
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 1: giving up on them the way that they're being treated.

305
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 1: I mean, Tom Brady vocally said that when the Patriots

306
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 1: played them last season, then it was a New England

307
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 1: home crowd. That was the case when they barely beat

308
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 1: Cleveland last week, and that was the case last night

309
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 1: against Pittsburgh. I'll feel bad if this ends up. You know,

310
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 1: those fans that are real fans, I'll feel bad for them.

311
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 1: But at the same time, it's like Chargers not a

312
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 1: great Chargers here. They beat the Lions by a mere

313
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 1: five points, a bad Lions team and they barely beat

314
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:53,640
Speaker 1: Cleveland a week ago. Dan, what's more painful than existential angst?

315
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 1: They don't even know they exists. It's like they're like

316
00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 1: a walking performance of waiting for Godo. Alright, Wes, I

317
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 1: don't know that referen the last reference lost? What was that?

318
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 1: I'm sure I'm not alone it was. It was a

319
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 1: seventy play, seventies sitcom starring Mary Tyland. It's a play

320
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 1: by Samuel Beckett, French play right, Oh, come on, I

321
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 1: think he's an Irish playwright who did it in France.

322
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 1: Now you're just showing off, Sydney. Let's do some news.

323
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 1: The worst thing is when you have an itch and

324
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 1: you can't wipe it because you got the struggle is real.

325
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 1: That is Andy Dalton. Greg We were on the Dave's

326
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 1: Damaged Like Football program earlier. Who are you sure about that?

327
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 1: And you said that Andy Dalton I believe is the

328
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 1: third best quarterback in the NFL. I said that, I

329
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:46,680
Speaker 1: said the way he is playing. If you're just evaluating

330
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 1: his play this season, he has been right there as

331
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 1: the three or third or fourth. I'm not counting Ben

332
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 1: because he's hurt, so him and Palmer would be right

333
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 1: there after the top two. Yes, in terms of how

334
00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 1: he's playing. Where do you have Josh Johnson on that list? Well,

335
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 1: he has the most signings this season, so that's working

336
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:05,440
Speaker 1: for him. He's been signed so well. Josh McCown rise

337
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:08,880
Speaker 1: above thirty this week, So you have Brady and Rogers

338
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:12,360
Speaker 1: first and second, big Ben. Big Ben doesn't count. It's

339
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:14,479
Speaker 1: not playing. As long as you don't have him above

340
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 1: Palmer and big Ben, then I'm fine with I would

341
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,720
Speaker 1: say I probably will keep Palmer there because he hasn't

342
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 1: done anything to lose. I don't know Dalton's making four

343
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 1: or five deep throws a week, but I know that

344
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 1: has nothing to do with Josh Johnson. Josh Johnson was

345
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:34,520
Speaker 1: signed by the Bills on Tuesday, and this was done

346
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 1: because the health of starter Tyrod Taylor isn't serious question.

347
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:42,359
Speaker 1: As the team gets ready UH for their Week six

348
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 1: matchup against Too Marks Uh, Tyrod tell there's a report

349
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:54,399
Speaker 1: out there from Jason lock On four of CBS Sports

350
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 1: at the time of this taping that Tyrod Taylor is

351
00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 1: dealing with an MCL sprain, an injury that acquire him

352
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:04,440
Speaker 1: to miss multiple weeks, which is really terrible news for

353
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:07,480
Speaker 1: the Bills if true, because uh, e J Manuel is

354
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:10,439
Speaker 1: the backup quarterback of the Bills, and uh that's not

355
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:14,119
Speaker 1: a good thing. It's not I was really excited watching

356
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:16,920
Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor, right. I think he's got something. I think

357
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:19,920
Speaker 1: he's gonna get got it. He's gonna get a lot better.

358
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:22,960
Speaker 1: I know he's made some mistakes, hasn't been perfect, but

359
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 1: e J Manuel hasn't shown hasn't shown that type of potential.

360
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 1: Now maybe it's the offense. Maybe Greg Roman can get

361
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:31,239
Speaker 1: a j. Manuel out there. I'm a little more I mean,

362
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 1: I'm more interested to watch EJ Manuel than if Matt

363
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 1: Castle was still on that team. And I know, you know,

364
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:37,439
Speaker 1: there aren't that many teams in the league that are

365
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:39,879
Speaker 1: as banged up as Buffalo. You didn't have Lashawn McCoy

366
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:43,200
Speaker 1: last week, you didn't have Carlos Williams. You've lost your

367
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 1: quarterback who Ryan said he's looked good and in Tyro

368
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 1: Tiller has not been healthy all year, that he's hasn't

369
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:54,920
Speaker 1: been on the injury report. Well that's fair point. Sorry,

370
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 1: Well no, you know you made it absolutely hurt. Was

371
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:01,240
Speaker 1: he before? But now it seems like and he was

372
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:05,720
Speaker 1: hurt on apparently a horse collar tackle tackle in the game. Um, well,

373
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 1: he runs a lot. I mean he has the same

374
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:12,679
Speaker 1: issue that Kaepernick and r G three has that he runs.

375
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 1: That's a huge part of their offense. And he mostly

376
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:17,200
Speaker 1: does a good job avoiding hits. But he's never played before.

377
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:19,160
Speaker 1: I mean he's taking hits in the pocket and now

378
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:21,199
Speaker 1: he's out there every snap. He's not used to it.

379
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 1: Maybe the Bills can swing a trade for Matt Castle

380
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:27,960
Speaker 1: and bring on back. He can do it. Uh, they're

381
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,639
Speaker 1: three and two right now, correct, I mean that is

382
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 1: gonna be tough for them if they they're playing for

383
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:36,440
Speaker 1: four weeks or let's say, or three weeks or two weeks.

384
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:38,960
Speaker 1: I mean e J. Manuel is not a good quarterback.

385
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:42,399
Speaker 1: That's a tough matchup with the Bengals J Manuel and

386
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:44,720
Speaker 1: then they go they go to London after that. Mark

387
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:47,640
Speaker 1: Sessler is going to be covering the Bills very closely.

388
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 1: You're actually an embedded reporter with the Bill. Well, I

389
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 1: was planning to write Ayrod Taylor piece and that might

390
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:58,959
Speaker 1: be up and smoke. Here comes eight thousand words on EJ. Manual.

391
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:02,680
Speaker 1: Get ready for the Bill Bills trying. I listen. I've

392
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 1: already spoken to Bill's pr They couldn't be happier about

393
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:08,919
Speaker 1: the arrangement. I did wrote them yesterday. Do they know

394
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:13,919
Speaker 1: about your you know antirect? This is a chance to

395
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 1: have my mind changed. I bet it happens to it.

396
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:18,919
Speaker 1: Bet you come back to the one time that I spoke,

397
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 1: not you know, one on one, but I was in

398
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:23,240
Speaker 1: a in a scrum with Rex Ryan for quite a while.

399
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 1: A delightful character. To be honest. It's during the season

400
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 1: that he drives me nuts. And you love Greg Roman,

401
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:32,160
Speaker 1: So that's gonna You're gonna get a point with Greg Roman.

402
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 1: I bet right. I don't know. It sounds like I

403
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 1: gotta busy schedule. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know

404
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 1: if Greg Roman's just out there in London getting pints.

405
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:42,360
Speaker 1: Maybe is well, when we were at the Super Bowl,

406
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:45,400
Speaker 1: we saw Greg Roman with Randy Moss and some other

407
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:48,159
Speaker 1: Niners Kevin having pints and dinner. True or false? You

408
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:51,200
Speaker 1: exchange digits with the old Greg Oh in an airport.

409
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 1: That is true. That's right. We saw, although I wisely

410
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 1: have not bothered him, that we saw him at Jackomos

411
00:20:56,640 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 1: for our New Orleans. How about that acam, isn't that

412
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 1: when we saw the best places in New Orleans? Go?

413
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:10,600
Speaker 1: Is it? Randy Moss? Yeah? Alright, Moving on, Sean Payton

414
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:12,919
Speaker 1: is the coach of the Saints of Saints Stank and

415
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 1: uh Peyton has been there forever, So you start to wonder,

416
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:19,159
Speaker 1: is it perhaps are in the air? Change in the

417
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:24,159
Speaker 1: air for the franchise. One day after ESPN reported that

418
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:28,120
Speaker 1: multiple teams planned to inquire about Payton's availability after two

419
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:32,639
Speaker 1: thousand fifteen, uh Peyton himself dismissed the chatter. Here's what

420
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:34,960
Speaker 1: he said. I think that happens when you're in year

421
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:38,960
Speaker 1: ten and not having success, he said, per the team's website.

422
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:41,359
Speaker 1: I love it here. I'm close to my children. I

423
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:43,920
Speaker 1: just built a brand new place here. So you get

424
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:47,720
Speaker 1: tired of answering the questions, and yet I understand you asking.

425
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:51,359
Speaker 1: And uh Greg Rosenthal is a resident kind of a

426
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:55,280
Speaker 1: sneaky Saints fan, and this got under Greg's skin earlier

427
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 1: this morning. He started to get all fired up just

428
00:21:57,320 --> 00:21:59,440
Speaker 1: at the thought of Sean Payton making these comments in

429
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:02,639
Speaker 1: the meeting. One of the phoniest things I've ever heard.

430
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:06,679
Speaker 1: He goes out of his way, uh to imply that

431
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 1: Peter King's report or earlier the same this year, that

432
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 1: he's not a credible source at all, and that you know,

433
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:15,359
Speaker 1: you know, you should look at what he's done. And

434
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 1: he goes back through all the different reports over time

435
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:21,120
Speaker 1: that has suggested Sean Payton, you know, might have interest

436
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:25,119
Speaker 1: elsewhere and in his heart and in the people who

437
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 1: are in that room's heart, they know while he's saying this,

438
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 1: this information isn't coming from the Dolphins. This information isn't

439
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:36,159
Speaker 1: coming from anywhere but Sean Payton's camp, because you know

440
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:39,440
Speaker 1: he's he's you know, they're playing feelers out there, so too.

441
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:42,320
Speaker 1: It's one thing to just kind of avoid the subject. Hey,

442
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 1: let's not talk about it, but to grandstand as if

443
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:49,359
Speaker 1: your respect and you know, your your dignity has been

444
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 1: impugned by anyone reporting this when let's face it, you're

445
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 1: a part of putting that out there because they he

446
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 1: would love to have that Dolphins job. He is sick

447
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 1: and tired of the rumor and innuendo which he is

448
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 1: spreading throughout the league. That's all I'm saying. Someone's got

449
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 1: a column on it. Thank you, damn bigger phony Sean

450
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 1: Payton or Drew Brees well, they're perfect for each old.

451
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 1: But a match made in heaven, that is um I

452
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:18,000
Speaker 1: would I would lean towards Drew Brees. But I Greg's

453
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:22,400
Speaker 1: outrage here has justified and it's making me perhaps perhaps rethinking. Dan,

454
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:25,959
Speaker 1: if you could take Sean Payton over Todd Bowles, you're

455
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:28,159
Speaker 1: a Jets fan, would you do it? No? Yeah, I

456
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 1: guess I understand that Sean Payton's had a lot of success,

457
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:34,960
Speaker 1: and I do I really want him taking over my team.

458
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:37,919
Speaker 1: I don't guy to take Oh yeah, I'm not going

459
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:40,240
Speaker 1: to take away anything that he's done in ten years.

460
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:43,720
Speaker 1: Remember New Orleans was a you know, a terrible team

461
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 1: for years and years when him and Breeze got to town.

462
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:47,760
Speaker 1: But it's always that chicken or egg thing with a

463
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 1: quarterback and a coach together. So I don't know if

464
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 1: Peyton necessarily have success of all of a sudden he

465
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:55,679
Speaker 1: was coaching Ryan Fitzpatrick led offense. I don't know if

466
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:57,120
Speaker 1: I give him the benefit of the doubt. He kept

467
00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:59,119
Speaker 1: talking during this. It was a conference call with the

468
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:02,919
Speaker 1: reporters yesterday after he grandstandard and did everything exactly the

469
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 1: way you said, Greg. He talked about how we listen

470
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:09,239
Speaker 1: to the culture is really improving here. We've done so

471
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:11,960
Speaker 1: such good work on that front. You're also the person

472
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 1: who presided over the culture completely crumbling. That was a

473
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:18,159
Speaker 1: huge issue with players they let go. I mean, there's

474
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 1: something not right in New Orleans despite despite all this,

475
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:23,159
Speaker 1: And I agree, And it depends on how much power

476
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:25,000
Speaker 1: he would want in his next place, whether he wants

477
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 1: to be in charge of all the personnel and GM

478
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:28,960
Speaker 1: and all that that. I wouldn't want to sign up

479
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:30,879
Speaker 1: despite all that. I think it'd be a good higher

480
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:34,040
Speaker 1: for the Dolphins. I think what he's done with their offense,

481
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 1: UH in the Saints over the last ten year, I mean,

482
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 1: he's the best. He's obviously the best coach in their

483
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 1: franchise history. That the success that they had I think

484
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:43,399
Speaker 1: is worth giving him another shot. And it's better than

485
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:45,920
Speaker 1: any Dolphins coach they've had in a while. The good

486
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:48,359
Speaker 1: Southern noir like Midnight in the Garden of Good and

487
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:50,719
Speaker 1: Evil type of movie waiting to be written about this

488
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 1: whole everything that's been going on around New Orleans and

489
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:55,359
Speaker 1: the Saints over the last year year and a half.

490
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:58,720
Speaker 1: There was for me, the tipping point of the uh

491
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:03,879
Speaker 1: Sean Payton tenure was after um bounty gate, and after

492
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 1: he was banned for a year. Everybody talks about to

493
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:08,879
Speaker 1: do your job Belichick thing. But still one of the

494
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 1: great unintentional comedy moments in the last ten years of

495
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:15,359
Speaker 1: the NFL was that in the Saints practice facility was

496
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 1: there there was a giant banner with Sean Payton's face

497
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:22,400
Speaker 1: on it underneath a do your job looking down upon

498
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:25,159
Speaker 1: the Saints players. Like he was like, I don't know,

499
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:28,240
Speaker 1: like pol Pot or something or some type of great leader,

500
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:31,960
Speaker 1: and that it was putting shining down upon his teammates. Ego,

501
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 1: run wild. That's back now called Pot a great leader. No,

502
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:38,240
Speaker 1: that was a bad It was a bad historical reference

503
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:42,879
Speaker 1: a domineering figure. Give me a real dominating, domineering figure

504
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:48,160
Speaker 1: in world history. All right, wants something a little more?

505
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:50,680
Speaker 1: I like that, you know what it's like there's along

506
00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:53,159
Speaker 1: on the wall and like communist China and it's just

507
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 1: the giant Jimmy Carter, Edward Kennedy, this is the History

508
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:07,520
Speaker 1: podcast will not be coming. Moving on, We've lost like

509
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:10,640
Speaker 1: half our list professor at Northeastern my allma monor um.

510
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 1: Here we go, moving on. Dwight Freeney is back. Chris

511
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:19,080
Speaker 1: Westling get excited. The former Colts star signed a one

512
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:23,440
Speaker 1: year deal with the Cardinals veteran mitter, minimum eight seventy

513
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:28,359
Speaker 1: K with sack incentives. UH rap sheet adds he's thirty

514
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 1: five years old now. He had three and a half

515
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 1: sacks last year with San Diego. Still got to the

516
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:36,119
Speaker 1: quarterback a little bit. Maybe he can play a little bit.

517
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 1: But after the Arizona Cardinals dealt with some injury issues

518
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:42,520
Speaker 1: out of their win on Sunday, the decision was made

519
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 1: to bring in the old timer. I don't even have

520
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:47,280
Speaker 1: to read marks post to tell you what happened here.

521
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:49,760
Speaker 1: Dwight Freeney. You know, he's at the stage of his

522
00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:52,480
Speaker 1: career where he can sit back and wait to see

523
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:55,200
Speaker 1: how the teams play out. Who's going to be a contender.

524
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,200
Speaker 1: He doesn't want to get stuck on some bum team.

525
00:26:57,520 --> 00:26:59,440
Speaker 1: And then he hears that we've made the Cardinals a

526
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:02,240
Speaker 1: team of eight. Yeah, and they're off to a four

527
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 1: and one start. They look phenomenal. He said, that's the

528
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:06,720
Speaker 1: team I want to play for, and I can play

529
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 1: for whoever I want. Fred Richardson is doing the same

530
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:12,120
Speaker 1: thing right now. Right the Freeny has his own team,

531
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:14,680
Speaker 1: team of a TL essentially your team of you know,

532
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 1: Freeny that he he wanted to wait. He waited a

533
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:19,200
Speaker 1: little bit longer than us. He wanted to see what

534
00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:21,920
Speaker 1: was happening, and then he chose the Cardinals. I feel

535
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:23,560
Speaker 1: like it was a similar process. Had nothing to do

536
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:26,240
Speaker 1: with the two outside linebackers that got hurt on Sunday,

537
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:29,439
Speaker 1: but well, all right, must be he must have been

538
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 1: really impatient listening to the podcast a week after week

539
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 1: as we doddered over it. And the Cardinals are one

540
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:37,560
Speaker 1: of the few teams that can take a guy like

541
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:40,520
Speaker 1: Freeny and make it work because, like Chris and I

542
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:43,960
Speaker 1: were talking about yesterday, Bruce arians finds a way to

543
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:46,159
Speaker 1: use every single one of his players every week in

544
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:48,480
Speaker 1: a useful way. We the next time we talk about

545
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:51,920
Speaker 1: this guy's when he retires in eight months, why not

546
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:56,120
Speaker 1: to the list of a half dozen of the best

547
00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:58,560
Speaker 1: comeback Player of the Year candidates that all reside on

548
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:02,359
Speaker 1: the Cardinals roster. Bait based on Chris Johnson's trajectory, I

549
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:04,520
Speaker 1: expect Dwight free need to lead the league in sacks.

550
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 1: So I'm talking about Chris Johnson, Larry Fitzgerald, Carson Palmer,

551
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:10,560
Speaker 1: Tyre Matthew, Jonathan Cooper, Patrick Peterson came back from diabetes.

552
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:13,960
Speaker 1: They have a good year diabetes. That's the Wilford Brimley

553
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:16,560
Speaker 1: by the way, we oh a little bit, a little bit,

554
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 1: let's be fair around the NFL podcasts. Chris Johnson an apology.

555
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:22,159
Speaker 1: I think I kind of remember when he signed with

556
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:24,480
Speaker 1: the Cardinals. We debated whether even to talk about it

557
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 1: or if you'd even make the team. That's how great

558
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:29,720
Speaker 1: of a story it is. So we discounted him. I

559
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:32,080
Speaker 1: mean he literally we can be blamed for that. He

560
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:34,119
Speaker 1: was in multiple years of decline and had a bullet

561
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:37,480
Speaker 1: in his arm or chest, so maybe we were justified,

562
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 1: but he is really I mean. Third second surprising story,

563
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:45,440
Speaker 1: long hospital stay where you have time to just think

564
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:49,480
Speaker 1: and ponder, you know, followed by a long break is

565
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:52,080
Speaker 1: again it's a it's another year where a nice long

566
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:55,320
Speaker 1: break gives someone an absolute refreshing power charge. One of

567
00:28:55,400 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 1: my favorite Mark Sessler dream scenarios is him suffering some

568
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 1: type of injury that puts him in the hospital for

569
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:06,560
Speaker 1: a long time and he just the world melts away

570
00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:09,600
Speaker 1: from right. Nothing terrible and he reads books and you

571
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 1: don't have a brain. Well it's the same reason that

572
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:13,000
Speaker 1: I would love to go to jail for a little bit,

573
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:17,800
Speaker 1: not a really nasty would be great on your family. Uh,

574
00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:20,760
Speaker 1: you know that's trying to get away. He's not happen.

575
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:23,600
Speaker 1: That is not true. At you ever studied the history

576
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 1: of the most renowned religious gurus of all time, Most

577
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 1: of them have either suffered some kind of illness, less injury,

578
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:33,560
Speaker 1: or spent time in prison. There you go. So what

579
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 1: do we'unting about Mark right now? Uh? Well, I don't

580
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 1: really want this to happen. I think it's just you know, Chris,

581
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 1: are you implying Mark might be a future religious leader.

582
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 1: I'm not only that, but Chris Johnson might have a

583
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:50,880
Speaker 1: following tune. The difference between religious leader and cult leader

584
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:54,080
Speaker 1: is very precarious, So just be careful Mark. Well, I

585
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:58,680
Speaker 1: don't want to wear like I am not going to

586
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 1: go down the Heavens Gate. Thank you very much. Branchio

587
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:04,560
Speaker 1: Santa fe. It feels like half of your qualies too

588
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:07,560
Speaker 1: fun to us. I could see I could see you

589
00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:09,640
Speaker 1: living on like a ranch in the middle of nowhere

590
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:11,760
Speaker 1: with a hundred other people like Bernie Kozar as your

591
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:16,400
Speaker 1: right hand guy. It sounds great. Uh Finally, the news

592
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:20,520
Speaker 1: Golden Tate, uh is stuck on a bad team this year.

593
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:24,560
Speaker 1: The windless Detroit Lions are and five after getting bombed

594
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 1: at home UM seventeen by the Cardinals. Uh. He said this,

595
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:33,240
Speaker 1: Golden Tate to the Detroit Free Press. You know, I'm

596
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 1: the first one to say I love our fans. I

597
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:36,880
Speaker 1: think I think they're amazing, and they've been patient for

598
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:39,480
Speaker 1: a long time. But before the game got out of hand,

599
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:41,440
Speaker 1: before the game started, I looked up and there were

600
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:44,120
Speaker 1: a lot of empty seats early on. Our team is

601
00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:46,160
Speaker 1: getting booed later in the game. It sounded like the

602
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:48,960
Speaker 1: loudest of God was when Stafford was leaving the game

603
00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:54,440
Speaker 1: and our lossy came in. UM. Basically, Tate is saying

604
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:57,080
Speaker 1: that the team turned their turn their back, or the

605
00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:00,959
Speaker 1: fans turned their backs on the Lions. This is one

606
00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:04,240
Speaker 1: of your boys. Chris Westling ninety nine catches last year,

607
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:06,200
Speaker 1: but this is These are the type of stories you

608
00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:09,560
Speaker 1: read when a season of promise turns the dust. Yeah,

609
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 1: pipe down, Golden Tate? What what gives him the right

610
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:15,840
Speaker 1: he's got, He's earning millions of dollars. He hasn't been

611
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 1: through He's new to Detroit. He hasn't been through with

612
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:21,120
Speaker 1: these fans have been through. If he was in their place,

613
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:23,280
Speaker 1: he'd turned the he'd turned their backs on himself too.

614
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:26,080
Speaker 1: You're right. And Nate Burlison on NFL Network yesterday made

615
00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:27,600
Speaker 1: a point. You know, he was in Detroit for a

616
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:30,160
Speaker 1: long long time. He does know that fan base that

617
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 1: that is not a bunch of you know, silver spoon

618
00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:36,160
Speaker 1: millionaires that there. It's a hard working town and they

619
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:39,240
Speaker 1: put a lot of money into their tickets and you're going,

620
00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 1: you're watching an absolute crap team that isn't living up

621
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:46,160
Speaker 1: to its talent base. Their quarterback is regressing and completely

622
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:48,560
Speaker 1: melting down. They have a lot to be upset about.

623
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:50,720
Speaker 1: Golden Tate needs to just you know, how about just

624
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:53,960
Speaker 1: make and make a play Sydney. Thank you, Sydney doing

625
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:58,200
Speaker 1: great guys right now, So fantastic Listen. I was just

626
00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:00,760
Speaker 1: talking to Kevin Patra. Yeah, so I was gonna say

627
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:04,960
Speaker 1: because I I thought I was thinking about this because

628
00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 1: Kevin wrote this post about Golden Tate in which he

629
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:12,840
Speaker 1: called the loss to the to the Cardinals pathetically abhorrent

630
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:17,920
Speaker 1: and their own five and you know, it's it's tough.

631
00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:20,040
Speaker 1: It's tough being Kevin Patricks, there was there was some

632
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:24,880
Speaker 1: Let's be honest, let there were some angry Blue tweets.

633
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 1: A few weeks ago, during that blind absolutely Monday night

634
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:32,240
Speaker 1: came uh, and Sydney, I'm gonna give you a little

635
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:36,240
Speaker 1: task here for after the show. Uh. Kevin Patra, in

636
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:39,240
Speaker 1: response to a tweet I had about the lines, responded

637
00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 1: me dan ensis. So I didn't take it personally, but

638
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:46,960
Speaker 1: I'm starting to now worry about his his well being.

639
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:48,920
Speaker 1: And I talked to Sydney, so let's get him on

640
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:51,959
Speaker 1: the phone and check in. Kevin, Hey, Patrick, what's up?

641
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:58,280
Speaker 1: In my defense, I might have been double on a

642
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:03,120
Speaker 1: couple of Barley pop. Yeah, all right, well listen, that's why.

643
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:06,800
Speaker 1: And I understand that. And I think you you misunderstood

644
00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:09,960
Speaker 1: the context of my tweet and took it as a shot.

645
00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:13,880
Speaker 1: And that happens all of us when you're under the

646
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:16,560
Speaker 1: influence of a lot of sauce. Right, I've maybe looked

647
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:19,840
Speaker 1: into things differently, and and so there's no issues between us,

648
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:21,800
Speaker 1: but I'm more interested, and I think that I speak

649
00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:25,240
Speaker 1: for the whole room. Uh. Some concern. It's now you

650
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 1: live in the Midwest and it's starting to get colder,

651
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:30,800
Speaker 1: and you know, it's kind of like a gloomy time

652
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:32,400
Speaker 1: of year. Once the sun you know, we're gonna have

653
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:35,600
Speaker 1: daylight savings coming up, I believe on November one. And

654
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:38,200
Speaker 1: that adds to the spirits and the sky and your

655
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:43,000
Speaker 1: team's own five and your apartment. You know it overlooks uh,

656
00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:45,560
Speaker 1: you know what looks like some type of project building.

657
00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:47,800
Speaker 1: I just want to check in with you and see

658
00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:51,480
Speaker 1: how you're doing. Right now. Let's Kevin Patra, Chicago correspondent

659
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:55,000
Speaker 1: on the South Side of Chicago, and I tell them

660
00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:58,600
Speaker 1: that you said I live in the project. Well, let's

661
00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:00,960
Speaker 1: let's talk about it. You live in Chicago, but you're

662
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:04,840
Speaker 1: from Michigan and you're a Detroit Lions fan. Um. You know,

663
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:08,360
Speaker 1: of course Matthew Stafford he had some quotes today. He

664
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:09,880
Speaker 1: was like a little you know, a little ticked off.

665
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:12,320
Speaker 1: It seems that Jim Caldwell for yanking him out of

666
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:15,359
Speaker 1: that game after three picks, and the Lions can get

667
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:17,759
Speaker 1: out of this contract. This is the question I had

668
00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:19,560
Speaker 1: for Patrick. They can get out of this contract after

669
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:23,680
Speaker 1: this year, would you, Kevin Patrick, if things didn't significantly

670
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:29,120
Speaker 1: turn be okay with the lines starting over without matt Stafford. Well,

671
00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:31,200
Speaker 1: that depends on what your other options are. I mean,

672
00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:32,839
Speaker 1: you saw with the Bears last year and Cutler, they

673
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:34,239
Speaker 1: want to give it a color, But what was there

674
00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:36,160
Speaker 1: a better option? If you get the number one pick

675
00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:39,080
Speaker 1: and you got a guy like Groff and you think

676
00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:41,880
Speaker 1: he's he can be better in the future, absolutely about

677
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:44,040
Speaker 1: no problem. Moving on. What about the Bears and Lions

678
00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:50,680
Speaker 1: just swapping problems? Oh my god, Jay Cutler in Detroit. Honestly,

679
00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:53,120
Speaker 1: I don't think that Cutler in the last three years

680
00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:56,520
Speaker 1: has played and has played as bad as as Stafford

681
00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:59,600
Speaker 1: has in the last three weeks. I've never seen because

682
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:01,440
Speaker 1: at least you're talking about a guy got bench from

683
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:05,600
Speaker 1: Jimmy Clawson. I'm but but this guy who got betch

684
00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:08,600
Speaker 1: for Daniel Loss So I mean six of one half

685
00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:11,279
Speaker 1: doesn't and the other. But I'm saying the way that

686
00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:13,040
Speaker 1: color plays, at least he was trying to make play.

687
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:16,200
Speaker 1: Stafford doesn't seem like he wants wants to run the

688
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:18,360
Speaker 1: offensive in the places that are called, and he's so

689
00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:20,719
Speaker 1: skedish in the pocket, he's just looking at the pass rush.

690
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:23,680
Speaker 1: He hasn't helped his offensive line out at all. I mean,

691
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:26,160
Speaker 1: you look at a guy like Philip rivers last night,

692
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:28,640
Speaker 1: just changing the places and getting the coverages and making

693
00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:30,320
Speaker 1: sure he gets to play. Stafford is none of that.

694
00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:32,920
Speaker 1: Whether that's his he's able to do it or not

695
00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:36,600
Speaker 1: he doesn't. And the patra of rage meter which which

696
00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:38,560
Speaker 1: ranked hired, which is always high. By the way, let

697
00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:41,960
Speaker 1: me just get everyone a baseline. The rage meter rests

698
00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:44,080
Speaker 1: at about seven and a half out of ten, but

699
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:47,279
Speaker 1: it can go up. Just describe describe the differences I

700
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:50,600
Speaker 1: guess between you know, the Lions lost in Seattle and

701
00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:54,640
Speaker 1: then the one against the Cardinals which was just you know, embarrassing,

702
00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:56,600
Speaker 1: and like what how did and how did the rage

703
00:35:56,680 --> 00:36:01,680
Speaker 1: meter and the rage manifest itself? Well, I mean the

704
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:04,279
Speaker 1: one and the one in Seattle is it's more gut

705
00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:06,880
Speaker 1: punched because it was right there. I don't. I know,

706
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:08,799
Speaker 1: people like to make you know the call was terrible.

707
00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:10,400
Speaker 1: I would have rather than not even knowing that was

708
00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:12,520
Speaker 1: an illegal call, because I mean, you have an Hall

709
00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:14,399
Speaker 1: of Fame wide receiver going into the endzone and gets

710
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:16,480
Speaker 1: it knocked out. You should lose that game that was

711
00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:18,879
Speaker 1: more gut punched because they had a chance to win.

712
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:23,640
Speaker 1: So the pressing thing about the Cardinals laws is just

713
00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:25,520
Speaker 1: that this we've been here before. This. This is a

714
00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:27,799
Speaker 1: team that just laid down after us. They got they

715
00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:30,040
Speaker 1: got hit, and they just laid down. And they don't

716
00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:32,440
Speaker 1: have the players in the defensive line to do anything

717
00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:34,160
Speaker 1: when you got Chris Johnson running up the middle. They

718
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:36,200
Speaker 1: just don't have it right now. Were you annoyed by

719
00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:39,520
Speaker 1: Tate's comments, Not at all, Not at all. I've seen

720
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:43,080
Speaker 1: Golding Tates want to be more intellectual football players. I

721
00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:45,759
Speaker 1: think he's frustrated. I think that's where that's coming from.

722
00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:47,640
Speaker 1: And he took it back the next day. He said,

723
00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:49,280
Speaker 1: you know, I think he probably talked to Nate Brillis

724
00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:52,200
Speaker 1: and I heard the second you guys mentioned that. I wasn't.

725
00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:55,520
Speaker 1: I wasn't upset at all. I think he knew he had.

726
00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:58,160
Speaker 1: He's frustrated. He wanted to get that out and he

727
00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:01,080
Speaker 1: started backtracking the immediately, because the fans have ever right

728
00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:03,680
Speaker 1: to be be upset. You come in after a playoff

729
00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:07,400
Speaker 1: season and you hope that you can make strides. You

730
00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:10,640
Speaker 1: lose your best player, your best defensive player, and you

731
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:16,040
Speaker 1: have a coaching staff food is in just absolute on

732
00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:19,960
Speaker 1: the offensive side of patra What is more depressing for

733
00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:22,080
Speaker 1: you The idea that you thought you had a franchise

734
00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:26,440
Speaker 1: quarterback and he is regressing faster than maybe anyone east

735
00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:29,680
Speaker 1: of Colin Kaepernick. Or the fact that the Lions are

736
00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:32,840
Speaker 1: locked into four more prime time games this year that

737
00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:40,760
Speaker 1: they cannot be flexed out of that national championship champion

738
00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:44,319
Speaker 1: national we televised games. Yeah, Thanksgiving is always a fun one.

739
00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:47,480
Speaker 1: I'm more depressed about Taffric obviously. I mean the money

740
00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:49,480
Speaker 1: that's involved in that and what it means to have

741
00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:52,440
Speaker 1: a quarterback in the NFL. You need that to succeed,

742
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:55,440
Speaker 1: and so that's clearly a more defensive I can live

743
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:58,120
Speaker 1: with the whole nation having to sit with me through

744
00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:01,600
Speaker 1: through tire players player to tire fire a player. It

745
00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:05,959
Speaker 1: seems to me that old Kevo is in a good spot.

746
00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:09,360
Speaker 1: So he's frustrated, as he should be, but he's taking

747
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:11,560
Speaker 1: it in stride, and so that's good. Things have never

748
00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:15,239
Speaker 1: been better. So you're you're you're okay, Kevin correct, And

749
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:17,680
Speaker 1: I got Torbor in my life right now, so we're

750
00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:22,439
Speaker 1: all good on that front. Wow, that's true. See, there's more, Mark,

751
00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:24,320
Speaker 1: and this is a lesson for you. There's more beyond

752
00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:27,759
Speaker 1: your favorite NFL team, other sports. I think some of

753
00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:31,160
Speaker 1: the Cubs. Fever in Chicago is really I was attempting

754
00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:34,600
Speaker 1: to explore that earlier this season, thinking into Patra, do you, um,

755
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:36,320
Speaker 1: is there a woman in your life right now? Patra?

756
00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:41,719
Speaker 1: You know what, I don't get into that, all right?

757
00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:47,160
Speaker 1: That sounds like like I like to know what's happening.

758
00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:51,759
Speaker 1: That's it, Patra. He's a guy. He's like listen, he's

759
00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:55,719
Speaker 1: not unlike a um Chris Martin of cold Play. He's like,

760
00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:58,839
Speaker 1: my personal life is my personal life. I don't think

761
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:01,760
Speaker 1: Kevin Patrick's ever listened to Coldplay song. So it's interesting

762
00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:04,560
Speaker 1: to bring up those two names, right, keV, I have

763

00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:09,480
Speaker 1: at frequently. The only thing that he has in common

770
00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:31,920

00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:35,479
Speaker 1: he's gonna end up in a wild fireball of rage.

772
00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:38,799
Speaker 1: Before this all ends. You still think it's coming. All right,

Speaker 1: let's do some forkit. Let's all right. So as as

Speaker 1: the Niners, Saints, Texans, Dolphins, Bucks, Raiders, Browns and Bears

776
00:39:56,080 --> 00:40:04,279
Speaker 1: all shamed. And now after a discussion on our inter office, Uh,

Speaker 1: that show. Greg. Uh, let's add two more on our

781
00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:26,520
Speaker 1: Slack clients are Chat client. We did pick two more

782
00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:34,239
Speaker 1: teams and they are the following Shane Shane Shane, the

783
00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:45,359
Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs Shane Shane Shane, the Baltimore Ravens ship right,

784
00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:49,760
Speaker 1: so delightful the Chiefs and Ravens. Of course, the Chiefs.

785
00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:52,640
Speaker 1: Not only do they lose to the Bears eighteen seventeen,

786
00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:55,600
Speaker 1: they lose Jamal Charles. It has been confirmed in a

787
00:40:55,719 --> 00:40:58,120
Speaker 1: C L tear. Uh. He's now torn the A C

788
00:40:58,280 --> 00:41:00,399
Speaker 1: L and Boldney. So hopefully he gets back. Canna still

789
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:03,440
Speaker 1: Jamal Charles, but it won't be this year. And the

790
00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:06,160
Speaker 1: Ravens what else can you say they get a gift

791
00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:11,319
Speaker 1: from the football gods a week ago Thursday against the Steelers,

792
00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:13,880
Speaker 1: and then they gag it away and lose to the

793
00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:16,680
Speaker 1: Browns of all teams. Uh, that had to feel good

794
00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:21,520
Speaker 1: mark for your beloved Brownies to basically end the raven season.

795
00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:24,480
Speaker 1: It is the only second, only the second time they've

796
00:41:24,560 --> 00:41:27,200
Speaker 1: ever beaten them with Joe Flacco is the Ravens quarterback.

797
00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:30,759
Speaker 1: So it's been a very one sided but whipping. So yes,

798
00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:33,759
Speaker 1: it felt great. Good Bye Baltimore, right on the butts.

799
00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:36,120
Speaker 1: They getting whipped right on the old butts. All right.

800
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:38,080
Speaker 1: So there are some teams now that have not first.

801
00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:41,200
Speaker 1: So I'll start with this team, that Jacksonville Jaguars. Um,

802
00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:44,479
Speaker 1: I've been calling for the fork for a couple of weeks.

803
00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:47,160
Speaker 1: And it's not because in West made a good point

804
00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:53,560
Speaker 1: or um said something earlier today. No, it was made

805
00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:58,320
Speaker 1: good point. Actually he just opened it came out, but

806
00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:02,200
Speaker 1: similar idea. Don't don't cut me off because that's not

807
00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:03,719
Speaker 1: what I was trying to say, because it wasn't a

808
00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:05,560
Speaker 1: point he was just he was It was a fact.

809
00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:08,360
Speaker 1: He was saying that Blake Bortles is on pace for

810
00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:12,000
Speaker 1: thirty three touchdowns and four thousand yards something around there,

811
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:15,520
Speaker 1: seven and thirty two to thirteen T D D I

812
00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:18,719
Speaker 1: N T ratio. Alright, So Blake Bortles is trending in

813
00:42:18,760 --> 00:42:20,960
Speaker 1: the right direction as a shoulder injury. Right now, we

814
00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:22,759
Speaker 1: don't know what that means and what that means for

815
00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:26,279
Speaker 1: him and his team. But my point is one in

816
00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:29,200
Speaker 1: four is one in four is one and four. And

817
00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:34,000
Speaker 1: if we're being bold here, we're saying even portals, you know,

818
00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:37,520
Speaker 1: going on the upside, you know, leave that by itself

819
00:42:37,640 --> 00:42:39,799
Speaker 1: still there, one and four and they're the Jaguars. They're

820
00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:43,160
Speaker 1: gonna make the playoffs. Come on. Well, that's a great point, Dan, No,

821
00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:49,000
Speaker 1: actually it's not. It's just I need some ugly because

822
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:51,120
Speaker 1: I opened your mouth and words came out. I need

823
00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:54,200
Speaker 1: someone to convention that the Indianapolis Colts aren't a terrible

824
00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:57,760
Speaker 1: team before I knock out the Jaguars, who have a quarterback.

825
00:42:57,800 --> 00:43:00,239
Speaker 1: The Texans, I'm fine with knocking out because they have

826
00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:02,719
Speaker 1: the worst quarterback situation. He did knock them out, Yes, right,

827
00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:06,440
Speaker 1: Jaguars have a quarterback and the NFC South doesn't have

828
00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:09,800
Speaker 1: a good team. I was with you on not forking

829
00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:12,719
Speaker 1: the Jaguars last week. Part of it was the schedule.

830
00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:16,120
Speaker 1: To lose in Tampa and give up thirty eight points,

831
00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:21,120
Speaker 1: was was a reveal magnificent for that defense? What what

832
00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:27,239
Speaker 1: was it? I'm overdue today. It's not good. It's not good.

833
00:43:27,880 --> 00:43:29,720
Speaker 1: I mean to me, if still talking with the Patrick

834
00:43:29,840 --> 00:43:34,560
Speaker 1: giving up thirty eight points to the Buccaneers, that's the

835
00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:39,839
Speaker 1: woman in patches like, oh wait, are you dating Kevin

836
00:43:39,880 --> 00:43:46,240
Speaker 1: patra what she doesn't want to discuss again? Way too personal?

837
00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:50,399
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, Like perhaps it's it's great that Blake's doing well,

838
00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:52,160
Speaker 1: but you're still losing to the Bucks. This team isn't

839
00:43:52,160 --> 00:43:55,040
Speaker 1: ready yet. Well, I think what at best they could

840
00:43:55,120 --> 00:43:57,839
Speaker 1: come kind of close to what the Texans did last year,

841
00:43:57,880 --> 00:43:59,920
Speaker 1: which is your record is better than maybe you were

842
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:02,759
Speaker 1: really are as a team because you are playing the

843
00:44:02,920 --> 00:44:06,799
Speaker 1: Texans and the Titans and whatever else comes up. But really,

844
00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:08,279
Speaker 1: for them to make the playoffs, let's say they have

845
00:44:08,320 --> 00:44:11,399
Speaker 1: to go nine and seven. At very worst, that means

846
00:44:11,480 --> 00:44:13,840
Speaker 1: they go eight and three from here on out. I

847
00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:19,800
Speaker 1: just don't see a Jaguars team doing that. Point. My

848
00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:21,840
Speaker 1: point is really not even about the Jaguars. None of

849
00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:24,000
Speaker 1: you has convinced me that the Colts are a good

850
00:44:24,040 --> 00:44:26,239
Speaker 1: team you think you gotta win, think seven or eight

851
00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:29,120
Speaker 1: wins might win the ANFC South, and that the Jaguars

852
00:44:29,160 --> 00:44:31,239
Speaker 1: are as likely as any team to win. It is. Yes,

853
00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:34,600
Speaker 1: what if, hey, I would go with the Titans as

854
00:44:34,640 --> 00:44:38,040
Speaker 1: that other team, the one in three Titans. Yeah, when

855
00:44:38,080 --> 00:44:42,560
Speaker 1: the coach who basically gift draft coached them a conservative

856
00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:46,440
Speaker 1: game I've seen in years in Week five basically just

857
00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:48,160
Speaker 1: punt it every time he hit a chance to And

858
00:44:48,400 --> 00:44:51,279
Speaker 1: I don't know again, but it does come down to

859
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:54,200
Speaker 1: the Jaguars winning these games, and they're gonna have to

860
00:44:54,239 --> 00:44:56,799
Speaker 1: win eight more. That's where the point about the fact

861
00:44:56,840 --> 00:44:58,719
Speaker 1: that they have a quarterback. They do play the worst

862
00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:00,759
Speaker 1: team in the league right now that xins this week

863
00:45:02,040 --> 00:45:03,759
Speaker 1: and they well, then it's over the one in five.

864
00:45:04,080 --> 00:45:06,080
Speaker 1: Would you be willing to sign off and then they

865
00:45:06,160 --> 00:45:10,160
Speaker 1: play potentially E. J. Manuel in London? You know, yes,

866
00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:14,840
Speaker 1: if they love I will sign off on. And you

867
00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:17,799
Speaker 1: know one team that I nominated, but um it did

868
00:45:17,880 --> 00:45:22,320
Speaker 1: not go through legislation, the San Diego Chargers. Uh. Terrible

869
00:45:22,360 --> 00:45:25,000
Speaker 1: loss last night obviously, as we talked about earlier in

870
00:45:25,040 --> 00:45:26,920
Speaker 1: the show, and to me this is just you know,

871
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:30,280
Speaker 1: there's sixteen in our power poll because they are literally

872
00:45:30,360 --> 00:45:32,279
Speaker 1: the middle of the pack. I don't see them. I

873
00:45:32,360 --> 00:45:34,759
Speaker 1: don't see them winning ten games or even nine games.

874
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:36,960
Speaker 1: I think there's a seven eight win team, So why

875
00:45:37,040 --> 00:45:40,680
Speaker 1: not just fork them? That one I voted against because

876
00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:44,200
Speaker 1: if we're gonna we're gonna not fork the Jaguars because

877
00:45:44,239 --> 00:45:46,480
Speaker 1: of Blake Portals. Then a two and three team with

878
00:45:46,520 --> 00:45:48,840
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers as your quarterback in an a f C

879
00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:50,879
Speaker 1: where yes you have the South and they're not gonna

880
00:45:50,880 --> 00:45:53,120
Speaker 1: have a second playoff team. There's not a lot of

881
00:45:53,239 --> 00:45:55,319
Speaker 1: dominant teams in the a f C. The Chargers can

882
00:45:55,400 --> 00:45:58,120
Speaker 1: hang around for a while. The wild card teams aren't.

883
00:45:58,160 --> 00:46:01,440
Speaker 1: Aren't that wildly impressive? You got Jets, Bills, and Steelers

884
00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:04,200
Speaker 1: as the three teams were in the same neighborhood, really

885
00:46:04,239 --> 00:46:06,719
Speaker 1: as the Chargers, and two of those teams have to

886
00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:10,560
Speaker 1: make it. That's fair. How about the Redskins. I I

887
00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:14,719
Speaker 1: would fork the Redskins because you guys usually hate the Redskins. Well, hey,

888
00:46:14,840 --> 00:46:16,880
Speaker 1: we gotta be bold, we gotta pick when this thing

889
00:46:16,920 --> 00:46:18,800
Speaker 1: has to be over. But we want to be bold

890
00:46:18,800 --> 00:46:20,839
Speaker 1: and picked the foul that the Cowboys and stuff, because

891
00:46:20,880 --> 00:46:23,600
Speaker 1: that's not the team. I believe the Redskins didn't work

892
00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:26,160
Speaker 1: for you the other time? Well, what are you blaming

893
00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:29,080
Speaker 1: it on me? Listen, the Cowboys should not be The

894
00:46:29,160 --> 00:46:32,080
Speaker 1: Cowboys are gonna get back arguably the best quarterback in

895
00:46:32,120 --> 00:46:34,280
Speaker 1: the division and the best wide receiver in the division

896
00:46:34,680 --> 00:46:37,080
Speaker 1: in short order. Well, we know we might gets back

897
00:46:37,120 --> 00:46:39,600
Speaker 1: in a week, and we might get Romo Romo back

898
00:46:39,640 --> 00:46:41,640
Speaker 1: for the last five games or six games, whatever it

899
00:46:41,719 --> 00:46:44,480
Speaker 1: may be. They still have Brandon Weeding. Yes, well they're

900
00:46:44,480 --> 00:46:47,400
Speaker 1: gonna Matt Castle, and maybe he'll be better than Brandon Weeden.

901
00:46:47,440 --> 00:46:49,920
Speaker 1: Who knows, But I think that that's enough for me

902
00:46:50,040 --> 00:46:52,319
Speaker 1: not to want to fork them. The Giants now won

903
00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:55,680
Speaker 1: three in a row, so they're safe. And then the Eagles. Listen,

904
00:46:55,719 --> 00:46:57,200
Speaker 1: you can make a case of the Eagles too, but

905
00:46:57,320 --> 00:46:59,400
Speaker 1: I know everyone's kind of waiting for the Eagles and

906
00:46:59,400 --> 00:47:01,759
Speaker 1: stuff together. Anyone in that division, they're always in one

907
00:47:01,840 --> 00:47:04,560
Speaker 1: game and none look great. But about a division where

908
00:47:04,600 --> 00:47:06,880
Speaker 1: eight and eight could potentially win it, and the Redskins,

909
00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:09,600
Speaker 1: sneaky have maybe the best defense in that division. I know,

910
00:47:09,640 --> 00:47:11,920
Speaker 1: I feel like we were building up the Redskins is

911
00:47:11,960 --> 00:47:13,480
Speaker 1: a buzz team, but I just I don't know. I

912
00:47:13,520 --> 00:47:15,440
Speaker 1: don't see them. I don't see this happen, but they have.

913
00:47:15,840 --> 00:47:17,880
Speaker 1: They've played the most complete game of any team in

914
00:47:17,920 --> 00:47:21,160
Speaker 1: that division, and honestly, I think they're better than the

915
00:47:21,520 --> 00:47:23,160
Speaker 1: Giants and the Redskins are the best two teams in

916
00:47:23,200 --> 00:47:26,399
Speaker 1: that division, and the Titans, I'm assuming just the double

917
00:47:26,440 --> 00:47:29,759
Speaker 1: back tod afc South. Same same thinking with the Jaguars

918
00:47:29,880 --> 00:47:32,399
Speaker 1: is that division is so bad even at one in three,

919
00:47:32,800 --> 00:47:34,759
Speaker 1: that we shouldn't be for well, they're getting real close

920
00:47:36,120 --> 00:47:39,600
Speaker 1: alright though. That's the discussion. So now eleven teams for it?

921
00:47:39,719 --> 00:47:41,799
Speaker 1: I mean, should we set a cut off date because

922
00:47:41,840 --> 00:47:46,680
Speaker 1: we don't want to become, you know, total jokes the

923
00:47:46,840 --> 00:47:49,640
Speaker 1: last couple of years, we've been doing it up until

924
00:47:49,680 --> 00:47:53,160
Speaker 1: week thirteen, Week fourteen, So you're saying, essentially we are

925
00:47:53,239 --> 00:47:56,520
Speaker 1: we will lock in the twelve playoff teams at mid

926
00:47:56,640 --> 00:47:59,799
Speaker 1: season because the chances of I'm just saying now if

927
00:48:00,200 --> 00:48:03,680
Speaker 1: a lot more that's Mike Thoms. That's what you guys

928
00:48:03,719 --> 00:48:05,520
Speaker 1: are saying is if we did it at mid season,

929
00:48:05,600 --> 00:48:07,719
Speaker 1: we are locking in the twelve playoff teams, which to

930
00:48:07,760 --> 00:48:09,400
Speaker 1: me seems crazy. So I don't think we need an

931
00:48:09,480 --> 00:48:12,680
Speaker 1: artificial deadline. Maybe December. For Greg is loving this because

932
00:48:12,920 --> 00:48:15,239
Speaker 1: he sees what's gonna happen. We're gonna swing and miss

933
00:48:15,520 --> 00:48:17,759
Speaker 1: invariably because we're having fun with this, and we're gonna

934
00:48:17,800 --> 00:48:21,799
Speaker 1: be bold on a couple of teams right here, back

935
00:48:21,880 --> 00:48:26,839
Speaker 1: to the Motels March, late March, after the season, and hey,

936
00:48:26,840 --> 00:48:29,000
Speaker 1: I'm the one. I've throughout the Raiders well before you

937
00:48:29,040 --> 00:48:31,560
Speaker 1: guys went. I'm thrown out the I'm the game to

938
00:48:31,680 --> 00:48:36,000
Speaker 1: charity first. All right, Greg, we got it? How many times?

939
00:48:38,360 --> 00:48:44,000
Speaker 1: The worst threading a bit finally, So that's the fourth

940
00:48:44,040 --> 00:48:47,000
Speaker 1: conversation for this week. Shouldn't last more than a couple

941
00:48:47,080 --> 00:48:48,680
Speaker 1: more weeks. But it is a lot more scary now

942
00:48:48,760 --> 00:48:52,360
Speaker 1: that you put it that way, because locking in twelve playoffs,

943
00:48:52,520 --> 00:48:56,960
Speaker 1: I don't know that doesn't make well. History tells that

944
00:48:57,080 --> 00:49:00,080
Speaker 1: at midway way through we have absolutely no I do

945
00:49:00,480 --> 00:49:02,640
Speaker 1: at least one or two Now, I agree we should

946
00:49:02,680 --> 00:49:05,520
Speaker 1: try to be bold and fork a lot of the teams. Now,

947
00:49:05,719 --> 00:49:08,560
Speaker 1: if if we're leaving one wild card spot open for

948
00:49:08,680 --> 00:49:10,279
Speaker 1: two teams in the a f C, for instance, I

949
00:49:10,320 --> 00:49:11,880
Speaker 1: don't think that's a crazy thing to do. For a

950
00:49:11,960 --> 00:49:15,359
Speaker 1: little longer than agrees, And by the way, I want

951
00:49:15,400 --> 00:49:17,400
Speaker 1: to be the worst thing to mess up as we

952
00:49:17,480 --> 00:49:20,000
Speaker 1: did say as a group, we will give to a

953
00:49:20,120 --> 00:49:23,200
Speaker 1: local charity. Uh, Sydney, can we get on that, finding

954
00:49:23,280 --> 00:49:27,000
Speaker 1: a worthy charity in the Culver City or Los Angeles

955
00:49:27,120 --> 00:49:29,959
Speaker 1: area to give to. Absolutely, I'll get right on that, okay,

956
00:49:29,960 --> 00:49:31,680
Speaker 1: And you're gonna chip in an equal amount as well.

957
00:49:31,800 --> 00:49:34,160
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, with my very high salary working on it

958
00:49:34,840 --> 00:49:38,600
Speaker 1: seems a little self serving to benefit our city. Why

959
00:49:38,640 --> 00:49:40,960
Speaker 1: not the city that we you know that well know

960
00:49:41,120 --> 00:49:42,920
Speaker 1: the city that if we fork a team and then

961
00:49:42,960 --> 00:49:46,880
Speaker 1: they make the playoffs, that's a great call. You know

962
00:49:47,120 --> 00:49:49,000
Speaker 1: what if we start giving to charity every time and

963
00:49:49,120 --> 00:49:51,120
Speaker 1: making the leap candidate doesn't make the leap, Oh we

964
00:49:51,239 --> 00:49:53,920
Speaker 1: have nothing left. You nailed it, Mark, That's a great idea.

965
00:49:53,920 --> 00:49:57,560
Speaker 1: Are you good with that? Boss? If we team comes

966
00:49:57,600 --> 00:49:59,920
Speaker 1: back from the dead, rips the fork out of their

967
00:50:00,040 --> 00:50:02,200
Speaker 1: back and makes the playoffs, we donate to a charity

968
00:50:02,200 --> 00:50:05,840
Speaker 1: from that team city. Sure, that makes sense. It's happened

969
00:50:05,880 --> 00:50:09,120
Speaker 1: three times in in three seasons. Overall, this is great

970
00:50:09,480 --> 00:50:12,400
Speaker 1: and we should all right. Finally, let's talk about the

971
00:50:12,520 --> 00:50:16,759
Speaker 1: Thursday night football game, the Falcons at Saints the Superdome,

972
00:50:16,840 --> 00:50:19,000
Speaker 1: which has become a house of horrors for the home team,

973
00:50:19,640 --> 00:50:23,080
Speaker 1: Uh in recent years or at least, uh, what what's

974
00:50:23,080 --> 00:50:24,880
Speaker 1: their record in the last like ten games there? You

975
00:50:24,920 --> 00:50:26,920
Speaker 1: can have last six in a row, six in a row,

976
00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:30,480
Speaker 1: and now they have an undefeated team coming to their building.

977
00:50:30,600 --> 00:50:32,359
Speaker 1: But let's face it, here's the one thing I'm gonna say.

978
00:50:32,520 --> 00:50:36,160
Speaker 1: And if we had hero picks, maybe, just perhaps I

979
00:50:36,200 --> 00:50:38,279
Speaker 1: would have one riding on the Saints in this game,

980
00:50:38,320 --> 00:50:42,440
Speaker 1: because I think the Falcons are overdue. Uh. I think

981
00:50:42,480 --> 00:50:44,760
Speaker 1: Greg you made the point on the podcast on Sunday

982
00:50:45,560 --> 00:50:48,520
Speaker 1: that Matt Ryan for how you know, the all the

983
00:50:49,040 --> 00:50:51,839
Speaker 1: right the things they've done right this year Atlanta, Ryan

984
00:50:51,960 --> 00:50:54,880
Speaker 1: hasn't been great. Uh. And I could see a stinker

985
00:50:55,040 --> 00:50:58,839
Speaker 1: even against a bad defense. Potentially the Falcons not playing well,

986
00:50:58,920 --> 00:51:01,200
Speaker 1: Julio Jones is banking up, and the Saints win a

987
00:51:01,280 --> 00:51:03,399
Speaker 1: game on the in prime time, Well, you know they're

988
00:51:03,440 --> 00:51:05,640
Speaker 1: doing well when they play that they win their stinker.

989
00:51:06,040 --> 00:51:10,520
Speaker 1: I mean, Matt Ryan had an awful performance against Washington. Uh.

990
00:51:10,600 --> 00:51:13,560
Speaker 1: They made so many mental errors and yet they won

991
00:51:13,640 --> 00:51:17,840
Speaker 1: the game. Anyways, miss chip shot field goals too normally

992
00:51:17,920 --> 00:51:20,960
Speaker 1: reliable kicker. They played a defense in a secondary in

993
00:51:21,040 --> 00:51:23,520
Speaker 1: Washington that can do something that New Orleans will know,

994
00:51:23,800 --> 00:51:25,879
Speaker 1: Julian Jones isn't playing, that's one thing, but New Orleans

995
00:51:25,920 --> 00:51:28,800
Speaker 1: will not come close to touching them the way the

996
00:51:28,840 --> 00:51:31,240
Speaker 1: Reds can STD. I mean, the Washington put the clamps

997
00:51:31,320 --> 00:51:34,000
Speaker 1: on and shut down that offense. For large parts of

998
00:51:34,040 --> 00:51:36,040
Speaker 1: that game. They were they were moving the ball, but

999
00:51:36,120 --> 00:51:39,200
Speaker 1: then couldn't you know, couldn't finish out the drives. I'm

1000
00:51:39,280 --> 00:51:41,879
Speaker 1: interested to see this Falcons defense. I'm not really sure

1001
00:51:41,920 --> 00:51:44,000
Speaker 1: how they're doing it. Maybe it's that money ball tackling,

1002
00:51:44,440 --> 00:51:46,279
Speaker 1: you know, theory that I had before. I mean, they

1003
00:51:46,360 --> 00:51:50,040
Speaker 1: have Desmond Trufont who's the best player in their front

1004
00:51:50,080 --> 00:51:53,520
Speaker 1: seven right now, Paul Warlow their middle linebacker. Every time

1005
00:51:53,560 --> 00:51:55,919
Speaker 1: I turn on the Falcons, Nate Stupor makes a play.

1006
00:51:56,120 --> 00:51:59,720
Speaker 1: I mean Vic Beasley. It is rare. I have rarely

1007
00:51:59,760 --> 00:52:03,120
Speaker 1: seen the professional get as dominated and and enveloped as

1008
00:52:03,120 --> 00:52:05,560
Speaker 1: a pass rusher as Vic Beasley did last week against

1009
00:52:05,600 --> 00:52:08,239
Speaker 1: Trent Williams. Now that was going Williams did. That was

1010
00:52:08,280 --> 00:52:09,800
Speaker 1: against one of the best in the league, but it

1011
00:52:09,920 --> 00:52:13,120
Speaker 1: just kind of highlighted uh Beasley's size. Now the Saints

1012
00:52:13,160 --> 00:52:15,120
Speaker 1: are without or at least they were without last week,

1013
00:52:15,160 --> 00:52:16,799
Speaker 1: to Ron Armstead, who was one of the best left

1014
00:52:16,840 --> 00:52:20,080
Speaker 1: tackles uh in the NFL, and the Saints missed him

1015
00:52:20,120 --> 00:52:22,480
Speaker 1: dearly last week. They did not protect Drew Brees well.

1016
00:52:22,640 --> 00:52:25,240
Speaker 1: And it's really the Saints offense. I mean, they recipe

1017
00:52:25,320 --> 00:52:27,520
Speaker 1: for them winning is scoring thirty points and we haven't.

1018
00:52:27,600 --> 00:52:29,880
Speaker 1: We just haven't seen that. They Also New Orleans is

1019
00:52:29,920 --> 00:52:31,920
Speaker 1: getting run over on the ground to this could be

1020
00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:35,880
Speaker 1: a de fond to Freeman game, who eight touchdowns already

1021
00:52:35,920 --> 00:52:38,719
Speaker 1: on the year. I just I like Atlanta's offense. There's

1022
00:52:38,760 --> 00:52:40,520
Speaker 1: so much more balanced than they were a year ago.

1023
00:52:40,640 --> 00:52:42,560
Speaker 1: And I just I'd be surprised that they if they

1024
00:52:42,960 --> 00:52:44,719
Speaker 1: if they if they lost this one. I think it'll

1025
00:52:44,760 --> 00:52:47,000
Speaker 1: be close to this rival, He's always close. But I agree,

1026
00:52:47,040 --> 00:52:48,399
Speaker 1: I think the Falcons are going to move the ball.

1027
00:52:48,400 --> 00:52:51,959
Speaker 1: I mean the the Saints have absolutely no pass rush.

1028
00:52:52,040 --> 00:52:54,480
Speaker 1: I mean, that's why Sam Bradford looked good. That's why

1029
00:52:54,560 --> 00:52:56,440
Speaker 1: Cam Newton had one of the best games of his career.

1030
00:52:56,480 --> 00:52:59,840
Speaker 1: Everyone who plays against the Saints defense, except for Brandon

1031
00:52:59,880 --> 00:53:02,000
Speaker 1: we and he even looked fine. You know, plays the

1032
00:53:02,040 --> 00:53:04,439
Speaker 1: best game of their career. I'm killing the wrong Ryan

1033
00:53:04,560 --> 00:53:07,280
Speaker 1: Brother too, because there is not a worse coach defense

1034
00:53:07,440 --> 00:53:11,120
Speaker 1: than what Rob Bryan's done with the Saints, give me

1035
00:53:11,239 --> 00:53:15,200
Speaker 1: one not a great roster, but I well, all right,

1036
00:53:15,239 --> 00:53:19,000
Speaker 1: but but see then in Atlanta they were very plain

1037
00:53:19,160 --> 00:53:21,520
Speaker 1: last year and incomes Dan Quinn and it's not an

1038
00:53:21,600 --> 00:53:23,680
Speaker 1: overall sell, it's not. It's a lot of the same

1039
00:53:23,760 --> 00:53:27,000
Speaker 1: players and they're completely responding differently. That might be part

1040
00:53:27,080 --> 00:53:30,080
Speaker 1: of the Rob Bryan flaw is that if he doesn't

1041
00:53:30,080 --> 00:53:32,920
Speaker 1: have the personnel, his schemes do not work, and that

1042
00:53:33,280 --> 00:53:34,960
Speaker 1: that's a pretty big flaw to half. Let's do some

1043
00:53:35,080 --> 00:53:37,800
Speaker 1: picks for the game, and Mark will start with you,

1044
00:53:38,200 --> 00:53:41,360
Speaker 1: and we should mention Mark that you're in trouble. On

1045
00:53:41,440 --> 00:53:45,200
Speaker 1: the pics. It went bold and he went five and

1046
00:53:45,320 --> 00:53:48,320
Speaker 1: nine last week and you are now for the season

1047
00:53:48,400 --> 00:53:50,680
Speaker 1: and this isn't you know, we don't do spreads around here,

1048
00:53:50,760 --> 00:53:52,960
Speaker 1: but this is straight win lost. You're only forty and

1049
00:53:53,040 --> 00:53:57,600
Speaker 1: thirty seven and fourteen games behind patra Well it is

1050
00:53:57,760 --> 00:53:59,759
Speaker 1: for me. I think that when when I get off

1051
00:53:59,800 --> 00:54:03,959
Speaker 1: to a good start, it continues. But I made two weeks,

1052
00:54:04,040 --> 00:54:06,600
Speaker 1: two weeks out of the last three. I tried strategies

1053
00:54:06,640 --> 00:54:10,239
Speaker 1: that were absolutely dunderheaded. If Greg is choosing not to

1054
00:54:10,320 --> 00:54:14,239
Speaker 1: make picks, I should not be allowed to anymore. I

1055
00:54:14,280 --> 00:54:17,920
Speaker 1: should be removed from if I wanted to do this right,

1056
00:54:18,040 --> 00:54:21,200
Speaker 1: remove me from it now to bring the forking segment,

1057
00:54:21,719 --> 00:54:23,960
Speaker 1: Mark is a weird time for it. Marks the fire

1058
00:54:24,040 --> 00:54:25,520
Speaker 1: to be in Mark sized for the first time, and

1059
00:54:25,680 --> 00:54:29,560
Speaker 1: he's mad at himself. Mark at Greg pointing at him.

1060
00:54:29,760 --> 00:54:32,839
Speaker 1: Take me off, all right, I'll do it. I mean,

1061
00:54:32,920 --> 00:54:35,080
Speaker 1: you can keep picking. You need to keep picking. Well

1062
00:54:35,160 --> 00:54:40,720
Speaker 1: that can, because I'm just saying it doesn't matter. Headed

1063
00:54:40,880 --> 00:54:43,960
Speaker 1: I had been unprofessional, you should remove me from it.

1064
00:54:44,080 --> 00:54:47,440
Speaker 1: Fourteen game, it's over. Don't think you don't do this,

1065
00:54:47,520 --> 00:54:50,279
Speaker 1: by the way, settler, what you're going for here? What

1066
00:54:50,480 --> 00:54:52,840
Speaker 1: you're looking to get taken off? The picks because you

1067
00:54:52,880 --> 00:54:55,279
Speaker 1: just don't want to do them? Well, I mean, I

1068
00:54:55,360 --> 00:54:57,680
Speaker 1: don't think it's what are what are? What are fans

1069
00:54:57,840 --> 00:55:03,160
Speaker 1: learning from my picks? Nothing? But by the way West?

1070
00:55:03,320 --> 00:55:06,560
Speaker 1: And there's a sandwich prop between West and I. Actually,

1071
00:55:07,040 --> 00:55:10,080
Speaker 1: strangely enough, I'm not involved with it because Mark, you

1072
00:55:10,200 --> 00:55:12,759
Speaker 1: set it up that Dan will beat West, and I

1073
00:55:12,840 --> 00:55:15,279
Speaker 1: agreed with you obviously, and then West took you on.

1074
00:55:15,960 --> 00:55:18,400
Speaker 1: Through five weeks, we're in a flat footed tie at

1075
00:55:19,400 --> 00:55:23,760
Speaker 1: nine and Patrick leading the way beating everyone at Patrick

1076
00:55:23,800 --> 00:55:26,440
Speaker 1: got that Patricks deserves some credit there. That's a big

1077
00:55:26,520 --> 00:55:28,840
Speaker 1: lead six. It's a great job. That's where Greg, you

1078
00:55:28,880 --> 00:55:30,120
Speaker 1: could have been part of this and we would have

1079
00:55:30,200 --> 00:55:32,360
Speaker 1: would have been way more fun. But you stole it

1080
00:55:32,440 --> 00:55:35,239
Speaker 1: from us. You stole that that brotherhood that we once had.

1081
00:55:35,320 --> 00:55:38,480
Speaker 1: Greg's been making my picks for me. Mark your pick

1082
00:55:38,600 --> 00:55:41,120
Speaker 1: for this particular game. As you try to climb out

1083
00:55:41,120 --> 00:55:43,840
Speaker 1: of a deep dark hole. I will go Saints. Just

1084
00:55:43,960 --> 00:55:46,160
Speaker 1: kidding Falcons. I'm not gonna go I see, I'm done

1085
00:55:46,239 --> 00:55:49,880
Speaker 1: with the stupidity. I'm going Falcons. That was convincing. Alright,

1086
00:55:50,080 --> 00:55:55,440
Speaker 1: score uh forty one to Alright, West, you made some

1087
00:55:55,600 --> 00:55:58,840
Speaker 1: excellent points. Uh. The Falcons may well be ripe for

1088
00:55:58,920 --> 00:56:01,080
Speaker 1: a loss. They have to go on the road in

1089
00:56:01,200 --> 00:56:03,000
Speaker 1: a short week. So I want to make it clear.

1090
00:56:03,080 --> 00:56:08,840
Speaker 1: West just talking about me and what's about me and

1091
00:56:09,000 --> 00:56:13,400
Speaker 1: weird things happen on Thursday nights. But look at what

1092
00:56:13,520 --> 00:56:16,040
Speaker 1: the Falcons are doing with this coaching staff. Their number

1093
00:56:16,120 --> 00:56:18,600
Speaker 1: one in the NFL and run defense. They have the

1094
00:56:18,640 --> 00:56:20,960
Speaker 1: hottest running game in the NFL. And this they took

1095
00:56:21,040 --> 00:56:23,800
Speaker 1: over a team that absolutely we're known for having no

1096
00:56:23,920 --> 00:56:26,920
Speaker 1: backbone whatsoever. You could run over him. And they couldn't run.

1097
00:56:27,800 --> 00:56:29,759
Speaker 1: Look at the Falcons, coach, you know what's missing from

1098
00:56:29,760 --> 00:56:37,080
Speaker 1: the Seahawks. Dan Quinn m like that bttle score thirty

1099
00:56:37,160 --> 00:56:44,160
Speaker 1: three Falcons win. I will go thirty seven Saints victory

1100
00:56:44,880 --> 00:56:47,480
Speaker 1: over the Falcons. This is the beginning of the end

1101
00:56:47,560 --> 00:56:50,360
Speaker 1: of Dan. I mean you mentioned it. I don't know

1102
00:56:50,400 --> 00:56:53,040
Speaker 1: if this is an official stat, but I believe DeVonta

1103
00:56:53,360 --> 00:56:56,200
Speaker 1: Freeman has broken a tackle on every single one of

1104
00:56:56,280 --> 00:56:59,640
Speaker 1: his runs this year NFL record. Now, that's behind Dan

1105
00:56:59,719 --> 00:57:04,400
Speaker 1: Lewis I just made, but he has every single run touchdown.

1106
00:57:04,440 --> 00:57:09,440
Speaker 1: On Sunday, they always play a good, fun game. So

1107
00:57:09,840 --> 00:57:15,000
Speaker 1: great picks, but listen, your picks don't count. I make

1108
00:57:15,040 --> 00:57:19,280
Speaker 1: the Thursday night picks. Okay, all right, that's it. UH

1109
00:57:19,480 --> 00:57:24,560
Speaker 1: for Tuesday show. We'll be back on a little premature said.

1110
00:57:25,240 --> 00:57:27,800
Speaker 1: Don't worry about it. Listen, we're still working out the kinks.

1111
00:57:28,400 --> 00:57:32,000
Speaker 1: I'll listen. I'll queue you up for the and Greg,

1112
00:57:32,040 --> 00:57:33,720
Speaker 1: you did a nice job, I should say on Sunday

1113
00:57:33,800 --> 00:57:36,960
Speaker 1: night as well, with the timing of the drop, the

1114
00:57:37,040 --> 00:57:39,640
Speaker 1: out drop, and to the people, I keep asking what

1115
00:57:39,840 --> 00:57:41,720
Speaker 1: the song is? Pretty sincere the way you said that.

1116
00:57:42,120 --> 00:57:45,400
Speaker 1: Maybe people keep asking what the song is I'll have

1117
00:57:45,520 --> 00:57:46,960
Speaker 1: TV send that out again, but I don't know if

1118
00:57:47,000 --> 00:57:49,360
Speaker 1: you have any access to it. We'll be back on Thursday.

1119
00:57:49,560 --> 00:57:52,360
Speaker 1: We're gonna make all our week six picks uh and

1120
00:57:52,560 --> 00:57:56,360
Speaker 1: preview all the games, and we're gonna talk about what's

1121
00:57:56,400 --> 00:57:59,360
Speaker 1: in the news and what's going on with Mark and

1122
00:57:59,520 --> 00:58:05,200
Speaker 1: his views in life. It'll be good and that's so

1123
00:58:05,400 --> 00:58:07,400
Speaker 1: until then, this is Dan Hanson signing off for the

1124
00:58:07,480 --> 00:58:11,920
Speaker 1: Quiet Storm, the Mailman, Chris Westling, the Boss, Sydney, and

1125
00:58:11,960 --> 00:58:43,320
Speaker 1: everybody else behind the glass until Thursday night. M
