Speaker 1: those D M we put out a little one every Sunday. Okay,

18
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:17,040
Speaker 1: let's start with Austin. Two questions. One, you have a

19
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:20,479
Speaker 1: chance to achieve your biggest life goals and you have

20
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,400
Speaker 1: to listen to three hours of REX, Ryan or Jason

21
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:27,959
Speaker 1: Witten and booger. McFarland calling a game. Which are you picking?

22
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 1: L L it's pretty funny. And number two, I think

23
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 1: the cowboys Miss Cooper at all. I'll start with one.

24
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 1: You know, if I just had to talk football with

25
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:44,400
Speaker 1: the guy, I actually think Jason witten wouldn't be that bad.

26
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 1: He's clearly a high level guy. Heard him on a

27
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 1: podcast one time I was really impressed. He's just bad

28
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 1: on television. Booker would actually I would love to go

29
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 1: to an L S U game with booger be kind

30
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 1: of treated like royalty. UH, he's I've always said Booker's

31
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 1: good on college football. REX would probably be last. So

32
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 1: I mean I I'd probably just go with Jason Winn I.

33
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:10,080
Speaker 1: I think Rex, who was an excellent defensive mind and

34
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 1: defensive coach. He's actually just he was better as a

35
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 1: personality when he was in the league than he is

36
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 1: actually on television. Uh. So, you know, in an upset

37
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 1: here I'm going with witten. Um Too. I think the

38
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 1: cowboys Miss Cooper. I say it all the time. He's

39
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:30,839
Speaker 1: a bizarre player because you you think he should do more.

40
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 1: Yet like Thursday night I'm pretty sure you have like

41
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 1: nine catches and a hundred yards and a touchdown. Like

42
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 1: Mari produces and Mary produced a lot with uh, with

43
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 1: DOC obviously. A Mary produced a lot with Derek Carr.

44
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 1: Mariy Cooper, seven catches, hude hearts touchdown, like there's no

45
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 1: way around it. A Maori so so far this season

46
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:01,639
Speaker 1: doesn't include the first two games. Okay, so he's got

47
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 1: even against the jets, nine catches, hunter, one yards and touchdown.

48
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 1: So right now he's got through three games. Uh nineteam

49
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 1: catches over two hundred yards and two touchdowns. I mean

50
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 1: he's yeah, I think they miss him for sure. They

51
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 1: Miss Him and Cedric Wilson. Hard to hard to replace

52
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 1: productive players. I feel like the Patriots have been getting

53
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,360
Speaker 1: too much hate now. I don't think they're a great team,

54
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 1: but definitely not seven win team. The pats have always

55
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,920
Speaker 1: been slow in September, so I think they pick it up.

56
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts? Yeah, I'm down on them. I

57
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 1: mean they got worked week one. The dolphins might be

58
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 1: pretty good, at least solid, but I mean, come on that.

59
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 1: The steelers are just they're just not good. So I

60
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 1: don't put much stock in beating Mr Bisky. Mr Mac

61
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 1: Jones is turning the ball over. I think I I

62
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 1: looked this up the other day. Is it? Fifteen picks

63
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 1: in the last nineteen games? said he's thrown a bunch

64
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 1: of picks. Look, he threw a bunch of picks last year,

65
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 1: especially down the stretch. He's already got multiple picks this season.

66
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 1: He's not, Mr you know, never turn over the ball.

67
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 1: That part of Mac was like controlling the football. Not

68
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 1: really working here. Man, you're my favorite football analyst is

69
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 1: on the call tonight for Brown steelers. I don't really

70
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:26,559
Speaker 1: know what that meant, but maybe he means her streets

71
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,839
Speaker 1: his favorite football analyst. I actually flipped around some of

72
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 1: the different I didn't realize this. Amazon has different. They

73
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 1: have dude perfect, which I actually couldn't find. Someone told

74
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 1: me the dude perfect has a side thing with them.

75
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 1: They have like an all twenty two stat deal, which

76
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 1: I thought was a little much, uh, because like when

77
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:51,279
Speaker 1: you run a route, the line follows the route. Now,

78
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 1: I I do appreciate any company that's trying to innovate

79
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 1: and mix things up, I do think that stuff can

80
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,480
Speaker 1: be a little overrated. Like everyone's like so all the

81
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 1: old twin a two tape. Yeah, like I would imagine

82
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 1: one percent of fans watch that. Like no one's watching

83
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 1: all twenty two tape unless you work in the NFL.

84
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 1: But you know, you might as well try it and

85
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:13,840
Speaker 1: see if it works. The other thing is they can

86
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 1: tell immediately how many people watch. You know, like, uh,

87
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 1: the college football playoffs, when you get like Alabama plays

88
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 1: Clemson in the first round and they have this alternate

89
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 1: broadcast and in theory it should be pretty good, but

90
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,720
Speaker 1: they bring in like eight coaches. It's like the dude

91
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 1: from Boston College, Dude from Duke, Jimbo, uh P J Fleck,

92
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 1: another dude that just got fired, Lugan Bill, which you

93
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:40,839
Speaker 1: go God, this could be pretty good. A lot of personalities,

94
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:42,839
Speaker 1: just too much ego in the in the same room,

95
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:45,280
Speaker 1: you got all these Alpha's, all these guys that sit

96
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 1: at the top or the front of the long table.

97
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 1: When you're the head football coach, there's a long ass

98
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 1: table because you got fifteen coaches working for you, a

99
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 1: number of staff. In a staff meeting you might have

100
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 1: thirty people and you're the fucker that everyone's look can act.

101
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 1: So you're used to being an Alpha and the head

102
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,840
Speaker 1: of the room with your staff and your team three.

103
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:08,719
Speaker 1: So you go into this room and you kind of

104
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 1: gotta Defer, which obviously is a head coach. You differ

105
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 1: sometimes your assistance, but in that it's about like it's

106
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 1: just a tough spot and honestly, it never works ever,

107
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 1: and that broadcast is kind of made for me. Super

108
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:27,359
Speaker 1: Nerdy guys just kind of talking, telling some war stories,

109
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,039
Speaker 1: you know, and it just it just doesn't pop. It

110
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 1: never has worked and I've checked it out for ten

111
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 1: straight years. Uh So, but props to Amazon trying different things.

112
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 1: I love the pot keeps me saying during my way

113
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 1: too long commute. I have heard you say you're not

114
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 1: into hockey. I was wondering why. Everyone I dragged to

115
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 1: their first islander game has a blast. Also, is there

116
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 1: something you see the nfl doing that the NHL could

117
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 1: do to emulate football success? Thanks. When I say I'm

118
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:00,599
Speaker 1: not into hockey, I don't mean I don't rereciate it.

119
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 1: Enjoy playoff hockey and have a shipload of respect for

120
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 1: hockey players. I actually love Barstool's Guy, Ryan Whitney, uh

121
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 1: their hockey podcast. I've listened to several episodes when they've

122
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 1: had like coaches on and I don't follow hockey, but

123
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 1: I find the sport in the mindset behind it very

124
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 1: entertaining at this point in time in my life, when

125
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 1: I was twenty three, I watched a baseball game every night.

126
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 1: I watched a ton of NBA, I watched unlimited football

127
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 1: and I watched a lot of PGA Tour Golf. You know,

128
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 1: the older you don't even have kids yet. Yeah, I

129
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 1: just don't have time. I don't have time to take

130
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 1: it all in. You know, I spend so much to

131
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 1: my energy on football and golf. Then, like the older,

132
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 1: you get you get responsibilities. You gotta spend some time

133
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 1: with your girlfriend of your wife. You eventually get kids,

134
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 1: you gotta spend some times with them. You gotta work out,

135
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 1: you gotta you only have so much time in a day.

136
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 1: So it's not that I don't not like the sport, though.

137
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 1: You know, I grew up in California. We were just

138
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 1: not a big hockey place. I know that they have

139
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 1: the sharks. I've never been to a game. I would

140
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 1: love to go, Um, though. I'm in Arizona basically full time.

141
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 1: Moving forward. Just ranted out an office. It should be

142
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 1: pretty sweet. I'm gonna I just bought some TVs to day.

146
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 1: not the middle of the next week because I gotta

149
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:30,400

150
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 1: recommend target great place to buy televisions. I mean you

00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,199
Speaker 1: or fifty dollars. If you just need a little side

00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,320
Speaker 1: TVs like forty three inches or fifty inches, you can

154

Speaker 1: get them for like two. It's crazy their price points,

155
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 1: because I was like, you know, two thousand twenty two,

156
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,839
Speaker 1: not a huge brick and mortar shop guy. So it's

157
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 1: just like everything off Amazon, but the TV deals at

158
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:57,320
Speaker 1: target blow Amazon out of the water. Not even a

159
00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 1: fair fight. And listen, a lot of a lot of

160
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 1: respect for basils, but the TV game not cheap. New

161
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 1: Listener just a few months love the insight and experience

162
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 1: into a player and team when evaluating them. I'm out

163
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 1: in Columbus Ohio, so I'm curious to hear your thoughts

164
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 1: on the browns and how well they have to do

165
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 1: with Jacobe in order to have playoff hopes. Writing this

166
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:19,960
Speaker 1: after a dreadful jet loss. So they're one and one. Well,

167
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 1: now they're two in one. Uh will, five wins, six wins,

168
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 1: seven wins cuts it. So thanks if you get around

169
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 1: to it. As a reminder, Bursett will play. Okay, so

170
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:31,959
Speaker 1: they're two and one and they get a long break.

171
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 1: They gotta go to the Falcons. Who Falcons are a

172
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 1: little fights here, and I thought Mariota looks pretty good.

173
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:40,679
Speaker 1: Drake London actually doesn't look bad. Obviously Kyle Pitts, I

174
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 1: know he's not doing anything, but he's really talented. Arthur Smith,

175
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,840
Speaker 1: pretty creative guy. I'll give them a win. So you

176
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 1: guys are three and one. chargers loss, three and two, patriots,

177
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:55,439
Speaker 1: four and two, at Ravens lost, four and three. Bengals,

178
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:59,079
Speaker 1: kind of a shambles. Let's give you a win there. UH,

179
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 1: five and three. So you're eight wins. You're five and

180
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 1: three and every browns fan would sign up for that.

181
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:08,079
Speaker 1: Here's a tough little stretch at dolphins, at Bill's buccaneers.

182
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 1: I think of you. Just be six and five. But

183
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 1: I do think that we overrate. If I hadn't recorded

184
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 1: a podcast in two years, had not recorded a podcast now,

185
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 1: I might have watched football, obviously talked football with my friends,

186
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 1: texts with football with my friends. Man Talk Sports for

187
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 1: a living for the last, you know, about to be

188
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 1: thirty eight, for I don't know, thirty five years. Maybe

189
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:35,719
Speaker 1: not there I couldn't talk. Maybe at three years old.

190
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 1: Definitely for thirty plus years I've been talking about sports.

191
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 1: But you know, I've done it very, very specifically these

192
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:48,319
Speaker 1: last like fourteen working in college football, working in the

193
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:51,560
Speaker 1: NFL and then talking for a living for about the

194
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 1: last almost a decade now. So I do think you

195
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 1: can't like if I didn't record a podcast, let's just say,

196
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:00,040
Speaker 1: for six months, and then I just pressed play. I

197
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 1: don't think it's just quite like riding a bike and

198
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 1: recording a podcast and talking is infinitely easier than playing quarterback.

199
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 1: So this notion that let's just let's give you the

200
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:16,079
Speaker 1: benefit of doubt. Let's say, let's Sayre seven and four,

201
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 1: your seven and four, when Jacoby somehow, which seems hard

202
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 1: looking at the schedule, but let's just let's just give

203
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 1: you that. How can this guy having not played football

204
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 1: and he's not able to practice. I don't know, I

205
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:33,840
Speaker 1: have I have a hard time seeing that in a

206
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,960
Speaker 1: weird way. Obviously, big picture he's a better player than

207
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 1: Jacoby Brissett, but in the short term, just this year,

208
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 1: what if he's worse? It's not inconceivable if you haven't

209
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 1: done something for a long time and someone that you're

210
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:49,320
Speaker 1: better at has been doing that same thing, when you

211
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 1: first start doing that again, let's just say two years

212
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 1: in what you could pick anything. You could pick snow skiing,

213
00:11:56,280 --> 00:12:00,120
Speaker 1: you could pick painting, you could pick fucking sales. It

214
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:03,320
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. That guy, more than likely, is gonna just

215
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:08,200
Speaker 1: be more confident. So I I I do wonder in question,

216
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:12,199
Speaker 1: how seamless of transition it will be for de Shaun

217
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 1: whenever he comes back. I know you didn't watch the

218
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 1: broncos Texan game with sound on. Near the end of

219
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 1: the game the fans were counting down the play cock,

220
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 1: similar to the fans counting down Janice at the free

221
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 1: throw line. We know the coach has issues with clock management,

222
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 1: but doesn't this have to do more with Russ? The

223
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 1: dude has taken thousands of snaps show some urgency. Welcome

224
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 1: to Arizona. I agree. Like you can't talk to the

225
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 1: quarterback after fifteen seconds. So, regardless if I'm slow or

226
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 1: quick to get the play clock in, once fifteen seconds,

227
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 1: you know, running down on the play clock, the microphone

228
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:57,679
Speaker 1: goes dead in Russell's ear. So I I watched. Obviously

229
00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 1: I watched the first game live and he get a

230
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:01,959
Speaker 1: better feel for it live than when you watch the

231
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:07,080
Speaker 1: condensed version. But there's an urgency with Russell. And here's

232
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:09,959
Speaker 1: the thing with Russell. I I talked some smack about

233
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 1: the whole his act, which is I don't even think

234
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:14,599
Speaker 1: it act. I think it's how he is. But I

235
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:18,239
Speaker 1: just I can't take it that seriously. I've never disputed

236
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:21,320
Speaker 1: his focus and his desire to be great at football

237
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 1: and how much it matters to him, how much he tries.

238
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 1: So it's very weird to see a guy, I wouldn't

239
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 1: say going through the motions, but like when Tom Brady

240
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:33,560
Speaker 1: got to Tampa, it was like Dudeo was on tilt,

241
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:37,680
Speaker 1: dude was on edge. It was like, God, you could

242
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:40,679
Speaker 1: feel the tension watching Tampa early on. Remember that first

243
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:43,199
Speaker 1: year with him and Arians Peyton Manning. Same thing. I

244
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 1: remember hearing stories from a dude that was in Denver

245
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,199
Speaker 1: when Peyton got there and it was like everyone was

246
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 1: a meeting on egg shells because Peyton was so driven

247
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 1: and it was just like everyone you better follow my lead.

248
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 1: Here we go, like I'm gonna will us just everything

249
00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:59,839
Speaker 1: we do. It feels like Russell, I don't know, it's

250
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 1: something's off. I don't I'm not around there every day.

251
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 1: I can't put my finger on it, but I think

252
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 1: we all have to acknowledge so far it's been off. Now,

253
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 1: Sunday night, if you're listening, obviously on Sunday morning or

254
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 1: Sunday Day. It's a big game for it's a big

255
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 1: game for Kyle Shanahan, Jimmy Garoppolo, Russell Wilson, Nate Hackett.

256
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 1: This is just this is a big, gass storyline game.

257
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan's getting shipped on by twitter trolls for running

258
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 1: trey lance too much. UH, he wouldn't have to do

259
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 1: that if trey could just be a little more accurate,

260
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 1: and obviously no one wanted him to get hurt. So

261
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 1: there's some tension there into the bay and obviously there's

262
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 1: a lot of tension in Denver with the head coach

263
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 1: is Russell slipping. So it's just people are edgy. That's

264
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:43,480
Speaker 1: an edgy sport. Why the NFL is King? Because everything matters.

265
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 1: But I'm with you, like I don't I don't understand

266
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 1: where his urgency went. Carolina Panthers Fan, I'm trying to

267
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 1: be a glass half full future for the franchise. Best

268
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 1: case we get a top three pick, we get strouder

269
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 1: Bryce hire a new coach, but would be a panthers

270
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 1: thing to do when meetingless games and keep rule on board.

271
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 1: What's Your Realistic Outlook for Carolina going forward? Well, they've

272
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 1: actually been pretty competitive through for the first two weeks.

273
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 1: I mean they easily could have won the browns game.

274
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 1: The dude hit like a what, a fifty six yard

275
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 1: field goal, uh, and the browns are pretty good, like

276
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 1: we saw on Thursday night. The browns have a lot

277
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 1: of talent. Uh. You know, the giants, I don't think,

278
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 1: are nearly as talented as the browns. But you gotta

279
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 1: Give Day ball bald brother some credit. He's got them

280
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 1: playing hard. But you can only whether it's high school football,

281
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 1: whether it's college football, whether it's pro football, playing so

282
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 1: many games closely and be like, ah, we were just

283
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 1: right there. Ah, if we had just made that tackle,

284
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 1: oh my, if the DB had just held onto the interception.

285
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 1: All of a sudden you look up and you're one

286
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 1: in six. You know. So eventually you gotta win a

287
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 1: couple of games. So it's like, okay, we're actually not

288
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 1: that bad. We're three and three because they're this game

289
00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 1: against from New Orleans and in I know they played

290
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 1: the niners here in a couple of weeks. Like, are

291
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 1: they gonna be one in five or are they gonna

292
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 1: be three and three? To me, if there are one

293
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 1: in five team they're just gonna spiral and honestly they'll

294
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 1: probably fire him. But do they win a couple of games?

295
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:16,000
Speaker 1: Like do they win this week and be like, okay,

296
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 1: we're not dead. I saw matt rules say he like

297
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 1: thinks that they're pretty close. I don't even totally disagree

298
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 1: with them. Like I've watched them a lot because, especially

299
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 1: last week, I bet on him. I bet on him

300
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 1: twice actually. And they're not as bad as you think.

301
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 1: Not that you think they're bad, but they gotta eventually

302
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 1: win a game. Question about the league rules. Chiefs Linebacker

303
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 1: Willie G JR just kind of four game suspension for

304
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 1: a case that concluded in July. It was property damage

305
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 1: that total less than a thousand dollars. He broke his

306
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 1: ex girlfriend's vacuum cleaner. Why did the league wait until

307
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 1: now to suspend him? Is there ever, a rhyme or

308
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 1: reason to it? And I can't help but notice that

309
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 1: the NFL held off on handing down the ruling until now,

310
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 1: making him ineligible to play against the bills week six

311
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:07,119
Speaker 1: of all the teams. I don't think it was a

312
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:09,720
Speaker 1: malicious but I still think it's a really bad look.

313
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 1: This also comes a couple of weeks after the NFL

314
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:16,680
Speaker 1: decided not to spend Frank Clark for a felonies weapon charge.

315
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:20,120
Speaker 1: Just hoping you can make a little more sense, Joe.

316
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 1: I can't. I when I saw Willie got suspended, I'm like,

317
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:26,639
Speaker 1: I don't remember Willie get in any trouble. So I

318
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:30,640
Speaker 1: had forgotten about, I guess, that vacuum cleaner incident. I

319
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 1: listen your is your question is as good as mine.

320
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 1: I Hate I hate in life. No rhyme or reason

321
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 1: to thinks. I like doing things with a purpose, having

322
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 1: a consistent plan, having a consistent uh you know outlook

323
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:49,720
Speaker 1: of knowing what's coming anything we do. So I've never

324
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:53,639
Speaker 1: liked Roger Goodell. Just kind of you randomly get suspended

325
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 1: for something that could happen two years ago. It's like

326
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:57,600
Speaker 1: got three games for this guy. It's like, bro It's

327
00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:00,480
Speaker 1: week four and that was three years ago. But that's

328
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 1: just the NFL has been pretty consistent. How they are

329
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 1: not consistent. I'd be piste off fire you two. I

330
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 1: love your stuff. Randomly found you through collins feed. Haven't

331
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:12,679
Speaker 1: missed an episode since. I know you're off on Denver

332
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 1: and I think we'll finish fourth in the F C West.

333
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,680
Speaker 1: As a lifelong broncos Fan who's watched every minute of

334
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:21,639
Speaker 1: both our first two games, I can admit that Russ

335
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 1: hasn't looked his best. However, I would say are a

336
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:28,119
Speaker 1: big problem right now is coaching and decision making. With

337
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 1: the Raiders Down Oh two and your questions around mcdaniels

338
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 1: outside the belichick cocoon and car with a whopping zero

339
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:40,119
Speaker 1: playoff wins, are you still putting the raiders over Denver?

340
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 1: That's a good question. I definitely think it's in play

341
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:48,840
Speaker 1: that the raiders, I mean both these two teams, gotta

342
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:50,480
Speaker 1: Win this week. I mean the raiders don't have a

343
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:53,399
Speaker 1: choice at at Oh and two. Used to go to

344
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 1: Oh and three. If the raiders go and three like yeah,

345
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 1: I'm not picking them to get to eight wins, but

346
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:01,359
Speaker 1: if they win this week I think they play the

347
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 1: chiefs the following week. I'm less bullish on the raiders

348
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 1: for sure. Less bullish on them for sure, Um, but

349
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 1: I do think both the teams, if they figure it out,

350
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 1: can get around that nine win mark. And if you

351
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 1: get to nine wins like that means going into December

352
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 1: you've got a chance to get the double digits. I

353
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 1: think both teams have the talent. With the raiders there,

354
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:26,480
Speaker 1: their coach and they're all old. Line needs to figure

355
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 1: it out. And with Denver, like the coach and the

356
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 1: quarterback got again on the same page. I mean the

357
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 1: coach gotta figure out just how to operate and the quarterback,

358
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:41,120
Speaker 1: he's one of the greatest players of the last decade, easily. Easily.

359
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:42,960
Speaker 1: He had like a four or five year stretch where

360
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:45,480
Speaker 1: I thought he was the top five player in the league,

361
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:48,920
Speaker 1: quarter even non quarterback, just and he's been one of

362
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:50,679
Speaker 1: the best players in the League for a long stretch,

363
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 1: and that's a league with Brady, Rogers, Mahomes, like Russell

364
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:59,120
Speaker 1: Wilson was really good for a long period of time.

365
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:02,959
Speaker 1: So he he's got to figure it out. Like eventually

366
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:07,200
Speaker 1: you just gotta make some place. Like ultimately, the timeouts,

367
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 1: all that crap. There are just plays where he drops

368
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 1: back and it's like what are we doing here now?

369
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 1: Some of it is bro you're not playing with lock

370
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:19,720
Speaker 1: it in Dk right now. So in Russell's one of

371
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:23,399
Speaker 1: the great deep ball throwers ever, even some of the

372
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 1: balls he threw against the Texans. That deep ball, when

373
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 1: it's in the air, is football porn. It is beautiful,

374
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:34,680
Speaker 1: the ARC, the spiral, and he's pretty accurate with it.

375
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:38,120
Speaker 1: But like one, Lockett was usually wide open and two,

376
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:42,440
Speaker 1: D K was like six FT eight, two fifty pounds.

377
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:46,800
Speaker 1: It could jump. I mean he's a freaks freak. Let's

378
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:48,640
Speaker 1: face it. When D K showed up, Russell and him

379
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:51,439
Speaker 1: started kicking the ship out of people. So, like I

380
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 1: like some of the Denver guys. They DK metcalf, like

381
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:57,359
Speaker 1: those three guys that came out in the draft class

382
00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:02,399
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago. All three of them absolute badasses. Debo,

383
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 1: a J D K I'd go to war with any

384
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 1: three of those guys. I Know Dk. It looks a

385
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 1: little weird right now. Don't blame look who he's playing with,

386
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 1: a J Brown. Look what he's doing with Jalen, I

387
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 1: mean boom Debo. They're handing the ball. DEBO had a

388
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 1: run week two against Seattle where Trey Lance should have

389
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 1: kept the ball. It was his own read, but he's

390
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:25,960
Speaker 1: not a great decision maker. Hands it to Debo even

391
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:29,120
Speaker 1: though it is not the right read. The defensive end

392
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:33,360
Speaker 1: is an inch away from debot. Debo jukes amount then

393
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 1: there are three defenders right in front of Debo and

394
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:38,480
Speaker 1: Deebo Jukes all three of them out and goes for

395
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:41,640
Speaker 1: fifty two yards. I honestly DEBOT. We talked, I think,

396
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:44,560
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor and Chub in some order. I would probably

397
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:46,880
Speaker 1: put Chub then Jonathan Taylor are the best running backs.

398
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:49,920
Speaker 1: I think if Debo just became a running back, he

399
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 1: would immediately be one of the best running backs in

400
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:57,200
Speaker 1: the league because, like Camara, is like a hybrid receiver. McCaffrey,

401
00:21:57,480 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 1: you know, I watched him busts a big run the

402
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:02,720
Speaker 1: other day. Not The same Quan's kind of back. Henry

403
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 1: looks like he's trending the wrong way, but that that

404
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:11,680
Speaker 1: class of those three guys absolute monsters. Taylor one. Uh.

405
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:13,960
Speaker 1: Let's end on this. I've agreed with you that to

406
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:16,679
Speaker 1: a sucks, but six touchdowns is pretty impressive. Do you

407
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 1: think you'll keep it up? That play, or was Baltimore

408
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:23,440
Speaker 1: Falling Asleep being up so big he's got? He's got

409
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:27,679
Speaker 1: a big five days stretch here coming up. He plays,

410
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:31,360
Speaker 1: obviously the bills Sunday, which is a fantastic game, and then,

411
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:34,400
Speaker 1: if you're watching the Amazon game on Thursday, they play

412
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 1: the Bengals, I mean bill's bengals back to back like

413
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 1: Tah could. A lot of people are gonna Watch that

414
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:42,320
Speaker 1: bills game and obviously he plays, you know, in a

415
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:46,159
Speaker 1: primetime game. So Twa can shut up, including myself a

416
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 1: lot of people. You throw six touchdowns in an NFL game,

417
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:53,440
Speaker 1: I don't care if you're playing the the O N

418
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 1: Sixteen lions or you're playing the Oh seven patriots. That

419
00:22:57,040 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 1: is very, very impressive, very impressive. Obviously the and he's

420
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:03,919
Speaker 1: not playing the own sixteen lines. I mean the Ravens

421
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:06,359
Speaker 1: are a ten plus win team. I think when the

422
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:08,840
Speaker 1: dust settles are probably like eleven, twelve win team. That

423
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:11,680
Speaker 1: that that was a I know he had some wide

424
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 1: open guys, but isn't that part of his job? They

425
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 1: get open, he hits them. So props Tua for shutting

426
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:42,120
Speaker 1: everybody up. Audios the volume
