1
00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:05,720
Speaker 1: Lee again, Harry's at this time and there is an

2
00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:10,880
Speaker 1: official touchdown. Schmid wind Up goes deep down feeling getting

3
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:16,759
Speaker 1: British irek Hill to get key insa city the league

4
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:20,480
Speaker 1: man Smith. He fires deep and that's gonna be caught

5
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:24,200
Speaker 1: on the run by Kareem Hunt inside the twenty, inside

6
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:27,840
Speaker 1: the ten, all the way for a Kansas City touchdown

7
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 1: to tie the games on one now and off the

8
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:35,159
Speaker 1: west and West bights Tree into the end zone. He

9
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 1: goes and Coora touchdown down six points early in the

10
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:42,200
Speaker 1: fourth quarter of the Kansas City Chiefs ripped off twenty

11
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:45,159
Speaker 1: one on answered points to stun the defending Super Bowl

12
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:49,200
Speaker 1: champion New England Patriots the final forty two to seven,

13
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 1: in a game in which Alex Smith badly I played,

14
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 1: Tom Brady and rookie Kareem Hunt announced himself as an

15
00:00:55,480 --> 00:01:01,279
Speaker 1: instant star whoa Dan has is here joined by as

16
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 1: luck would have it for me anyway of the biggest

17
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 1: Patriots fans I know, Erica Tamposy behind the glass gets

18
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 1: top belly. Now give me a break. Yeah, I mean

19
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 1: you're not a dead supporter, Greg, Come on, I'm fine, okay,

20
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 1: cool and to my right, Greggy Rosetalo, Greggy, what happened tonight? Well,

21
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 1: I I heard all off season that you know, save football,

22
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 1: you know, it's so boring, nothing surprising ever happened. So

23
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 1: this is what happens. This is why football, professional football

24
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,480
Speaker 1: is the best sport because you don't know what's gonna happen.

25
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 1: And so many different things happened in this game. But

26
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 1: but the number one was that the Chiefs showed up

27
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 1: and the Patriots aren't unbeatable, And something that I talked

28
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 1: about a lot on this show coming into this game

29
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 1: and really in the off season that their front seven

30
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 1: and their defense has some things that are gonna need

31
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 1: to be worked out, came up in in a big,

32
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 1: big way in this game. This was a grizzly performance

33
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 1: by Ma Patricia's defense. Five and thirty seven total yards

34
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 1: for the Chiefs. That is the worst performance by a

35
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:11,359
Speaker 1: Belichick era defense forty two points, also the worst ever

36
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 1: for a Belichick team. The only time they were close

37
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:16,359
Speaker 1: to this bag was, of course, a couple of years

38
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 1: ago against the Chiefs in Casey, when they gave up

39
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:22,920
Speaker 1: forty one loss. Of course, Greg, before we get too

40
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:26,360
Speaker 1: excited about the Throne of sleeves, crashing down. That Patriots

41
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 1: team figured it out and never lost another game after

42
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:32,359
Speaker 1: September twenty nine. There's gonna be a lot of talk

43
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:34,080
Speaker 1: in New England. I'm sure it's gonna be a lot

44
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 1: of panick in New England about this game, but also

45
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 1: the same type of reasoning that makes sense. All Right,

46
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 1: Bill is gonna figure this out, he always does. Tom

47
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 1: will play better and things will get back on track.

48
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 1: But it doesn't change the fact that this is a

49
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 1: disturbing loss to open the season. Absolutely, and the defense

50
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:59,640
Speaker 1: really struggling, is gonna somewhat overshadow Tom Brady, you know,

51
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:05,239
Speaker 1: completing less than of his passes. And I think the

52
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 1: worst narrative that came up over the last week or

53
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 1: two was that they're not gonna miss Julian Edelman that much. Now,

54
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 1: that could have been a little more true if they

55
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 1: didn't also lose Malcolm Mitchell for the season. But suddenly

56
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: that's two of your top four. Malcolm. They don't win

57
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl without Malcolm Mitchell. Suddenly that's two of

58
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: your top four, and you're running Amndola out there more

59
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 1: than you want to. Hogan is kind of, you know,

60
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:32,519
Speaker 1: working as a disappeared and Cooks, and it's just it's

61
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 1: not enough depth and they're just figuring out timing. It's

62
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 1: weak one. It's not anything to go too crazy about.

63
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 1: They didn't lose this game because of their offense. They

64
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 1: lost because their defense and because they couldn't pick up

65
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 1: short yardage two fourth downs, fourth and once they pick

66
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 1: up those two plays. A different games, totally different game

67
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 1: on the Kansas City side of things. First, the bad news,

68
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 1: Eric Berry suffered and achilles injury UH late in the game,

69
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 1: and from all indications it looks like it could be

70
00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: a season ending injury, which is a terrible, terrible set

71
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 1: back for that defense. He is the heart and soul

72
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: of that defense. So well, that is expected to be official,

73
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 1: but we'll see. But the good news is Alex Smith, Yeah,

74
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 1: Brady had UH not a good statistical game, sixteen of

75
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 1: thirty six, no touchdowns, no interceptions. But Alex Smith, I mean,

76
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,600
Speaker 1: this guy has taken a lot of knocks, both in

77
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:26,039
Speaker 1: this room and UH and the football cogniscenti. But today

78
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,280
Speaker 1: thirty five three sixty eight, ten and a half yards

79
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 1: per attempt, four touchdowns, no picks. That's a one forty

80
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,840
Speaker 1: eight point six passer rating. And you combine that type

81
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 1: of Alex Smith performance with what Kareem hunted, who went

82
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,719
Speaker 1: two hundred two hundred fifty total yards, which is all

83
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 1: rookie record for NFL debut. I mean that's out rageous,

84
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 1: literally the best debut of all time. What a showing.

85
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,919
Speaker 1: I mean it it was the perfect perfect game for

86
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 1: Kansas City. And and and it's an important one. Is

87
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 1: the biggest win in the Andy Reid era for the Chiefs,

88
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,039
Speaker 1: and it it is a statement win, and you know

89
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 1: I love statement wins. Greg, But Kansas City says, we're

90
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 1: starting the season going into Foxborough on opening night when

91
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,160
Speaker 1: we were supposed to be the sacrificial lambs, and we

92
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 1: embarrass the Patriots in their billy Oh where can they

93
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 1: embarrass the Pats in their building? Oh, Tam Post, he's

94
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,839
Speaker 1: learning a little lesson in professionalism. I learned this back

95
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl when they blew the eighteen and oh

96
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 1: whin and had to write immediately afterwards to get on

97
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 1: camera that that was tough. So, Tam Post, he's taking this.

98
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,160
Speaker 1: You got to enjoy it as a as a football fan.

99
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: What the Chief said, I like when people prove you wrong.

100
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,919
Speaker 1: And he quieted the Patrick Mahomes talk Alex Smith and

101
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,239
Speaker 1: Cream Hunt to me was the bigger factor because we

102
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:44,360
Speaker 1: we know who Alex Smith is overall. I don't think

103
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:48,039
Speaker 1: one game changes him as a quarterback. But Kareem Hunt

104
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 1: is a guy that can be a star, a foundation

105
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:55,159
Speaker 1: piece of the offense, who can break tackles, who can

106
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,920
Speaker 1: make you miss in the hole, and showed on that

107
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: touchdown catch a seventy eight yard or that he can

108
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,359
Speaker 1: be a good receiver too. And and it was a matchup.

109
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:05,840
Speaker 1: This is not a normal matchup for Bill Belichick. It's

110
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 1: going against one of the best offensive plate callers of

111
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 1: the last twenty five years. And Andy Reid has had

112
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,479
Speaker 1: some great games as Chiefs coach, calling plays and and

113
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 1: he dialed up some beauties tonight. And it was it

114
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 1: was really and what we watched this over at west

115
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 1: Manor with uh with the sizzler and the paramour and

116
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 1: the paramore's mom and just to see the Patriots basically

117
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 1: break down at the end of the game, not saying

118
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,159
Speaker 1: they quit, but clearly at the end of the game

119
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,599
Speaker 1: they were just they had been beat and they and

120
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,159
Speaker 1: and they scored the final touchdown for the Chiefs. It

121
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,479
Speaker 1: was like to play seventy nine yard drive with just

122
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 1: two runs, and then Brady took two sacks in the

123
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 1: subsequent drive, and then they punted it away from their

124
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 1: old own goal line. It was so uncharacteristic, and it

125
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 1: is ironic because the last time you saw the Patriots

126
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 1: looked as bad besides three in February, I guess would

127
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 1: be against the Chiefs um three years ago. A couple

128
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 1: of things on that. Chris Collinsworth kept saying, you know,

129
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 1: they're not playing the guys that there used to having

130
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 1: out there now. That's true because they have a lot

131
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 1: of new players on both sides of the ball. But

132
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:06,719
Speaker 1: it wasn't like there was a day luge of injuries.

133
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 1: They lost Donte high Tower and we'll see if that

134
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 1: knee injuries significant. He is the most irreplaceable player on

135
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 1: the defense. But the rest of the problems were really

136
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 1: just from guys that that are new to the team

137
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 1: or you know, Stephan Gilmour maybe got mixed up on

138
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 1: that Tyreek Hill touchdown Piers that he thought he was

139
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 1: gonna have help, So that was communication. But these are

140
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 1: guys that are going to be important parts of their team.

141
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 1: It wasn't because the injuries that they were falling apart.

142
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 1: And you mentioned the Super Bowl. I mean this was

143
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 1: a This was like the reverse of the Super Bowl,

144
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 1: not as dramatic, but twenty one to nothing in the

145
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 1: fourth quarter for the Chiefs and the Patriots offensive drives.

146
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 1: Their offensive really was not bad for most of the night.

147
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 1: Their offensive drives in the fourth quarter four drives, two

148
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 1: first downs, three punts, and a turnover on downs. So

149
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 1: that was exactly like the Falcons in the fourth quarter.

150
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 1: And it's just gonna help old Billy Belichick who loves

151
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 1: to give the message this isn't last years team. We're

152
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 1: not defending every anything. You're starting from scratch. And he

153
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 1: has some great proof after this game. Stunning stunning stuff

154
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 1: by the way, and we got we have a hole.

155
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 1: We haven't get out to all the games in a second,

156
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 1: with Mark Susser joining us as well. But Erica, this

157
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 1: is a hard lesson about working at the NFL. Um

158
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 1: that happened. I remember when the Jets lost to Rex

159
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 1: Ryan in Week seventeen a couple of years ago to

160
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 1: cost us the playoffs, and then I had to come

161
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 1: into the studio and do a whole show when I

162
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 1: just wanted to curl up in a ball and just die.

163
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 1: And I know you feel that way right now, but

164
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 1: don't worry. She's wearing next will be better the next day.

165
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 1: This is not a She is wearing a Danny Danny

166
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 1: Ammondola Jersey who unfortunately had excepted a concussion in this game.

167
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 1: A lot of injuries he's doing. Okay, Yeah, it's it's

00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,199
Speaker 1: last we got Yeah, the last three times the Patriots

171
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,839
Speaker 1: lost the season opener in two thousand one, two thousand three,

172
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 1: and two thousand fourteen, we won all three Super Bowls.

173
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,319

190
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 1: every game in the schedule and let's figure it out. Okay,

191
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 1: Chief some Patriots, plate, Dolphins, and Bucks postponed thirty two

192
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 1: minus four equal divided by two four teen games to

193
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 1: talk about. Nailed it. That's I'm sharp because I'm ready

194
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 1: for a new season. Are you feeling nervous at all

195
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:30,319
Speaker 1: to do this? Shown Thursday preview show? In quite some time,

196
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 1: I'm feeling a little little feeling some nerves. We've done

197
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 1: this for so many years now, we're just like hamsters

198
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,439
Speaker 1: on a wheel here. That's on some level, I guess

199
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 1: you know I have. I have no nerves. You feeling

200
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:43,679
Speaker 1: a little nervous, so well, that's not that's not a

201
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 1: bad thing. That that's how you should feel. I think

202
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 1: once that doesn't happen. It just means you're like phoning

203
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 1: it in. Were you the guy that was a little

204
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 1: bit of a shot at you, Dan? Yeah? I know.

205
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 1: Were you one of those guys that before the big

206
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 1: football game you'd be thrown up in the trash can?

207
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 1: Typically not, because I mean unless waves of humans were hurt.

208
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 1: I wasn't going to be playing the old Weren't you

209
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 1: on the offensive line? Almost than possibly? No. I was

210
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:11,960
Speaker 1: a running back actually in Pop Warner, but as soon

211
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 1: as I attempted high school football, which lasted for about

212
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 1: a year and a half, they made me a cornerback

213
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 1: and I was like, I don't do defense. I like

214
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:21,320
Speaker 1: to know what the play is and they try to

215
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 1: please respond and react to other people, and it was

216
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 1: a disaster. I don't you know. I love you, Mark,

217
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 1: but the one thing I don't see you as was

218
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 1: like a quick twitch corner. Well, I think that's accurate

219
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 1: that I've never achieved that at all. You're gonna say athletic,

220
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 1: you know, and he doesn't like the parlor games, but well,

221
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 1: we want to As a running back, I scored. I

222
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:45,720
Speaker 1: was I would be what you'd call a short yardage

223
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 1: back in the pop Warner circles. Speaking of, I mean,

224
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 1: we might as well throw the popping. We're gonna be

225
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 1: playing a little parlor games on NFL Pick Them. The

226

00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna go that far, but this is a

239
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:27,440
Speaker 1: nice ob I mean, if you're one of the people

244
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:41,080
Speaker 1: I'm excited. Let's get into the rest of the games Erica.

245
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:47,440
Speaker 1: Let's let's fly. Professional football in America is a special game,

246
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 1: a unique game, lay nowhere else on earth. It is

247
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:56,559
Speaker 1: a rare game. The men who play it make it

248
00:12:56,640 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 1: so crazy. I'll say this shot. I'm not nervous about

249
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 1: a new season. But in spite of my favorite teams

250
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 1: complete inability to compete this year, most likely the Jets,

251
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 1: I'm very excited about a new season, best season of

252
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:19,680
Speaker 1: the best week of the year. I make this point

253
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 1: every year, so I'm not gonna keep saying it. But

254
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 1: it's like, you don't know what's gonna happen. You don't

255
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:24,959
Speaker 1: know what these teams are going to be. Like, It's

256
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 1: a great way to pitch our preview show, right, none

257
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:29,719
Speaker 1: of us know what's gonna happen in news drop to

258
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 1: by Tom Posey. When we're back in good standing, you know,

259
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:35,439
Speaker 1: I will say that that I'll heat ascenda right there.

260
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 1: I mean, football is played outside the United States. Just

261
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:40,079
Speaker 1: a hot just a hot tip for you, though, John.

262
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 1: But I mean that was probably recorded for years. I'm

263
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:45,680
Speaker 1: just saying for people to think that was recorded currently

264
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 1: he's incorrect. It's totally ascend though, because football was not

265
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,680
Speaker 1: being played elsewhere when he recorded that. Yeah, that's my

266
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 1: take to attack a guy that can't defend himself. The

267
00:13:56,080 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 1: man's in the ground. Um, yes, circumstances. Maybe I don't know.

268
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 1: Maybe Erica will play it after the show and you

269
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:06,080
Speaker 1: could hear the fight between Erica tampose, loose cannon and

270
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:08,560
Speaker 1: Greg Rosenthal come broke out right before the show. I

271
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 1: loved it based largely on Greg being I would say

272
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,559
Speaker 1: slightly rude to Erica. I was gonna say Greg being

273
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:17,320
Speaker 1: Greg a little bit. He was a little bit disrespectful

274
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 1: and and tampose. And we didn't need to be told

275
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 1: that this was going to happen, even though we hadn't

276
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 1: seen it yet. You knew it was in her because

277
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 1: you got the fire in her eyes, got that fire

278
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 1: she went right back. Of course. That's why I feel

279
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 1: comfortable with Erica, you know, being myself, not around these

280
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 1: delicate flowers over here. I don't know hashtag manners in

281
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 1: terms of treating you know, a fellow co worker. There

282
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 1: is an HR department in this building. Thank you for

283
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 1: the support. I talked to Greg a lot that sometimes

284
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 1: doesn't realize the way he talks to people, the way

285
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 1: it comes off. Erica put him right in line. So

286
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 1: I enjoyed that. All right, let's get to the games

287
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 1: and uh yeah, all right, we mentioned the Jets. Let's

288
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 1: knock it out. We're just gonna go straight down the list,

289
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 1: uh that we have in front of us. Uh, in

290
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 1: in accordance with oh yeah, the week one research notes

291
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 1: that is exciting. The research notes are back. In fact,

292
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 1: it's a weekly ender Round feature this year. Every Wednesday,

293
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 1: Old Daddy Zeuser combs through the research note and and

294
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 1: then share some of his favorite tippets in it. Check

Speaker 1: it out NFL dot com slash under Round now the

296
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 1: first game to talk about. Yeah, let's go to Western

297
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 1: New York, guys, where the Jets and Bills. Uh. To

298
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 1: be clear, we are going left to right off of

299
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 1: NFL dot Com. Don't don't honk on us that we

300
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 1: started with the Jets. This is where did we do this?

301
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 1: Every week? We're taking care of business because we're starting

302
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 1: with the two potentially worst teams in football could play

303
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 1: out that way, uh, potentially two teams clearly rebuilding. The

304
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 1: Jets coming off of five and eleven season last place

305
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 1: finish in the a f C East and now in

306
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 1: a total rebuild. The Bills were a little later to

307
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 1: the rebuild party, but now that effort is in full

308
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 1: bloom for them. They went seven or nine last year.

309
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 1: It's the No Rex Bowl and Rex Ryan by the way,

310
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 1: we coached these two teams. Um told ESPN, look what

311
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 1: he's left in his what's like, I've left your team

312
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 1: worse than when I got there. For what it's worth,

313
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 1: he did an interview with Rich Smini of ESPN dot com.

314
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 1: He doesn't really seem to Harvard ill will against the Jets.

315
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 1: He clearly hates John Zick the Glacier, but the Jets

316
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 1: not so much. But he clearly is on bad terms

317
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 1: with the Bills, who he believes uh didn't give him

318
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 1: a fair shake. You take that however you want and

319
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 1: believe him or not. But anyway, no Rex, no hope

320
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 1: for these teams. You can make the argument, Mark, what

321
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 1: would be something to take away from this game if

322
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 1: you were looking for something compelling about this matchup? I

323
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 1: think this is a fascinating game for one reason, and

324
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:40,320
Speaker 1: it's for me. We have spent hour upon hour on

325
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 1: this show talking about new York's front office what they're

326
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 1: attempting to do, and if you want to spin it positively,

327
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a tough year. But they are basically saying,

328
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 1: enough with the four five win seasons, we are going

329
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 1: to rebuild from the ground up. You dumped a collection

330
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 1: of players that accounted for a hundred and nine starts

331
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 1: last year, and so this is almost a must lose

332
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:04,880
Speaker 1: game for New York out of the gate. You have

333
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:07,159
Speaker 1: to lose this game to show us. And I'm not

334
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 1: saying that in a snarky way. I really am not

335
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:12,439
Speaker 1: sounds like because I know that the coaches and players

336
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:15,399
Speaker 1: are not. But honestly, the problem with New York in

337
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:18,119
Speaker 1: terms of always missing on that quarterback in the draft

338
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:21,919
Speaker 1: is you've gone with these five six win seasons. You

339
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:24,440
Speaker 1: have to get you have to achieve your goal. When

340
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:26,919
Speaker 1: I look at the game itself, though outside of Lashawn

341
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:29,680
Speaker 1: mccoy've addressed that this offseason by the way, they they're

342
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 1: different than those other teams. In fact, they've stripped this

343
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:34,359
Speaker 1: down to the studs and it could end with the

344
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns esque ending from two thousand and six. It could.

345
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 1: I just outside of Lashawn McCoy. I don't know. When

346
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:42,359
Speaker 1: I'm watching these two offenses, who do you point to

347
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:44,440
Speaker 1: that you can count on to deliver on Sunday. I

348
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 1: cannot find more than one or two people. It couldn't

349
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:51,240
Speaker 1: be a better matchup for the Jets and their defense,

350
00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:53,919
Speaker 1: which might be not so bad. They look pretty good

351
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 1: in the preseason. I know they've traded Sheldon Richardson since then.

352
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 1: They are in love with this young safety group. That's

353
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:01,920
Speaker 1: a thing to get excited about. Jamal Adams looks like

354
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 1: a stud and Marcus May who was the second round pick,

355
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 1: reportedly outplayed just about anyone including Jamal Adam Jamal Adams

356
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:10,920
Speaker 1: in the preseason, So that's something to get excited about.

357
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:14,159
Speaker 1: And then you look at the opposition. Tyrod Taylor was

358
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 1: not two thousand sixteen Tyrod Taylor in practices in the preseason,

359
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:20,359
Speaker 1: I would say they were the worst looking offense I

360
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 1: would say in the NFL, including the Jets. Uh, they

361
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:25,960
Speaker 1: really struggled. And so I think the Jets probably look

362
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 1: at this matchup like we got a shot. We got

363
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 1: a shot to win this game. Absolutely, who will win

364
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:35,240
Speaker 1: the game? Mark? I think it's gonna be very weird scoring,

365
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 1: but I'm going to if we're feeling it, I'm just scarious.

366
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:43,600
Speaker 1: So you do have the Bills. I think the Jets

367
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:46,439
Speaker 1: are gonna hang in this game, lose by three to

368
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 1: seven points, that's I think. Yeah, I agree, I think

369
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 1: it'll be a close game. It's it's weird, like no

370
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:53,879
Speaker 1: one's talked about Marcel Darius. He's been a disappointment, but

371
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 1: he's there, Jerry Hughes. They still have some players, but

372
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:58,600
Speaker 1: their secondary, which we we thought of as one of

373
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 1: the Bill's strengths last here, it's all gone. They got

374
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:03,200
Speaker 1: rid of everyone. I mean, they got rid of Derby,

375
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 1: they got rid of they even traded Kevin's Kievan Seymour

376
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:07,959
Speaker 1: than you have this preseason. Surprised people. It's like a

377
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,439
Speaker 1: totally different second must lose game for the Jets. Is

378
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 1: it must lose game? Is that is that building is

379
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:15,720
Speaker 1: gonna be sold out? The Bills copy. Yeah, it's a

380
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 1: great fan base. Okay, great fan but I mean, but

381
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:21,200
Speaker 1: at a certain point, this rebuild better work. Those those

382
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 1: fans snuck off on Bills fans in the last month

383
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 1: or two, and they they it's a bigger game for

384
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:29,160
Speaker 1: them because you do not want to start out oh

385
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:31,439
Speaker 1: and one with a home loss to the gets right, exactly,

386
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:34,239
Speaker 1: all right? Moving on, alright, let's talk about those are

387
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:37,120
Speaker 1: bad teams. Here's a good team, the Atlanta Falcons. Uh,

388
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 1: coming off obviously the worst Super Bowl Lawson of all time,

389
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 1: but that shouldn't completely overshadow how great they were last year,

390
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:47,639
Speaker 1: especially on offense. They opened up a new season in

391
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 1: Chicago against the Bears. The Bears were dreadful last year

392
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:54,880
Speaker 1: three and thirteen team, which led to them getting uh,

393
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 1: Mitch Trobinsky. But we're not gonna see Mitch greg We're

394
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:02,439
Speaker 1: gonna see Mike Lennon. We are, and he's not playing

395
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:06,879
Speaker 1: with the stack deck. He is throwing to Kevin White,

396
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:11,640
Speaker 1: Deonte Thompson, who's bounced around the league without really doing

397
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 1: a lot, and who I believe um their third receiver

398
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 1: at kendall right, probably their number one receiver. That's the

399
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 1: worst receiving group in the league. So even if Mike

400
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:22,160
Speaker 1: Lennon plays well, it's like the ceilings low. And I've

401
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 1: been talking about how much I like this young Falcons defense,

402
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 1: and this is a great first matchup for them to show, hey,

403
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 1: we can we can win some games for the team

404
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 1: this year. We can be a little more balanced. I

405
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 1: have been impressed with Chicago's front seven in their past rush.

406
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:38,679
Speaker 1: I know the fourth preseason game means nothing, but there

407
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:41,160
Speaker 1: were a couple of frontline guys playing in that game,

408
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 1: and they detonated Cleveland. They played well in other weeks,

409
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:45,919
Speaker 1: and so I don't think the Bears are going to

410
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:48,720
Speaker 1: be some sort of raging hot mess. But I think

411
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 1: you're in trouble in this game against the Falcons, team

412
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:55,919
Speaker 1: that essentially returns its entire roster on offense from last season.

413
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 1: What what are we pointing to that would suggest that

414
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 1: they're going to take a major or step back. Because

415
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:03,120
Speaker 1: the defense, if anything is cord and points that is better.

416
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:06,959
Speaker 1: That's that's the the X factor. But just they just

417
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 1: that they were so good that it's impossible to repeat. Right.

418
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 1: But you're right, but even if they take a step back,

419
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 1: you still have so many proven production elements in that

420
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:17,840
Speaker 1: offense that I don't see how you suddenly, you know,

421
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:20,600
Speaker 1: collapse in that division. They're not gonna It's a very

422
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:23,160
Speaker 1: busy week at NFL Media. There's a lot everyone it's

423
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 1: a who's who everyone that is tied into this company.

424
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:28,480
Speaker 1: H is around the campus right now. I had a

425
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:31,480
Speaker 1: nice conversation with someone that's in the know, that has

426
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:36,160
Speaker 1: connections and and is plugged into the teams and not

427
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:38,679
Speaker 1: a name dropper. Won't say who it is. It's a

428
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 1: deep source. That's why. That's why I'm the a t

429
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:55,600
Speaker 1: N media insider. By the way, haven't been breaking um.

430
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:57,880
Speaker 1: In fact, that's bad job by you because I broke

431
00:21:57,920 --> 00:21:59,720
Speaker 1: big news that I won't even share on this podcast.

432
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:03,120
Speaker 1: Uh yesterday about devastating news over a text. I nearly

433
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:05,720
Speaker 1: got in a car accident. It's all coming together because

434
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:09,200
Speaker 1: I know who's in town anyway. Figuring that is such

435
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:11,399
Speaker 1: a bad look. Greg on you because you just you

436
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 1: see this. You want my corner. My My point is

437
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 1: the guy that that he said watch out for Tarik Cohen.

438
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:21,639
Speaker 1: That's just keep an eye on this guy. Jordan Howard

439
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:23,720
Speaker 1: is the number one guy. He was he ran very

440
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 1: well last year. But apparently this guy is like and

441
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:29,960
Speaker 1: looked awesome. This is a Darren Sproles guy that he's

442
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 1: going to have a big impact UH this season, So

443
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:37,159
Speaker 1: something to young big time players. Leonard Floyd is someone

444
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:39,960
Speaker 1: if you're looking for the longest of long shots to

445
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 1: be in the mix for a Defensive Player of the

446
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:43,439
Speaker 1: Year that I think they really believe he is a

447
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:47,119
Speaker 1: superstar level talent. We'll see if it shows up this year. Alright,

448
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 1: moving on, Oh yeah, Justin Tucker's back, Baby. Why I'm

449
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:55,119
Speaker 1: so excited because Justin Taka gona bank some field goes.

450
00:22:55,800 --> 00:23:00,480
Speaker 1: The Ravens travel to Cincinnati to face the Bengals. Ravens

451
00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:03,879
Speaker 1: eight and eight last year, UH Cincinnati down season, a

452
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:08,159
Speaker 1: tough season, six nine and one. But Greg, you and

453
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 1: I have are on are on the same page with this.

454
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:13,640
Speaker 1: We just had a sandwich prop where West also believes,

455
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 1: uh Cincinnati's returning to the playoffs. I think this is

456
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:19,080
Speaker 1: a good Bengals team, and I think we're gonna see

457
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:21,560
Speaker 1: it immediately in this game. I think they're in a

458
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:26,679
Speaker 1: great position at home, healthy and getting the Ravens frankly

459
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:30,360
Speaker 1: at the right time because Joe Flacco is playing. I'm

460
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 1: not gonna say Joe Flacco's back injury was a fluco.

461
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:36,199
Speaker 1: But he is ready for Week one. But is he

462
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:37,720
Speaker 1: gonna be able to was it? Is he gonna be

463
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 1: any good? No keeping that going. Hey Flacco ain't no fluco.

464
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 1: He's got a Super Bowl m v P. But how's

465
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 1: that back? That back is good enough to practice, It's

466
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 1: it's a huge jump for all these teams to jump

467
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 1: up to seventies snaps. So if you're Joe Flacco or

468
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 1: your Breshade Perriman who by the way, missed all of

469
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:58,119
Speaker 1: uh August before returning practice, Danny Woodhead who missed most

470
00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:00,280
Speaker 1: of August, there's a lot of this offense that has

471
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 1: not played together. So you're right, from a defensive standpoint,

472
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:05,680
Speaker 1: the Bengals have to be loving this week one matchup. Yeah,

473
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 1: I mean Andy Dalton has He's really struggled against the

474
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 1: Ravens more than almost any other team in the league,

475
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 1: and they've had his number in the past. But the

476
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 1: reason to be excited about Cincinnati is I think Joe Mixon.

477
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:18,919
Speaker 1: You want to see a lot of him right away.

478
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 1: He can kill you in the passing game. On the ground.

479
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:22,879
Speaker 1: John Ross, We're not gonna see him this week, but

480
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:25,359
Speaker 1: he's already practicing again, so maybe next week. But that

481
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 1: this offense has a lot to offer. I could see

482
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:30,240
Speaker 1: this being similar to Bill's Jets, not a lot of

483
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 1: touch that like. I like the Bengals offense long term,

484
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:37,479
Speaker 1: but this Ravens defense is coming into this season. I

485
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:40,840
Speaker 1: believe guns blazon, tons of depth, just the type of

486
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 1: team that can succeed in Week one. You don't need

487
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 1: guys to play sixties seventies because you've got so many

488
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:48,200
Speaker 1: young players. And I think they believe in their building

489
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 1: that they can be one of the top two or

490
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:51,440
Speaker 1: three defense, and like that's what they're gonna have to be,

491
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 1: bold school. I think they have a chance. I really do.

492
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:56,679
Speaker 1: I think they have a chance because this is a

493
00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:58,640
Speaker 1: toss up game for me. I I don't feel too sick.

494
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:00,720
Speaker 1: I like the Bengals because they're but not by much.

495
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:02,920
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, if the Baltimore defense isn't very

496
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 1: good this season, it's gonna be a long year. It

497
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 1: needs to be old school defense carrying the day. Because

498
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:10,919
Speaker 1: even if Flacco does stay on the field this season,

499
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:14,720
Speaker 1: who First of all, he's never been a dynamo despite

500
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:16,959
Speaker 1: that one playoff run. He's a very coming off one

501
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:20,200
Speaker 1: of his worst season, especially last year. He's offense. Last year,

502
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:22,400
Speaker 1: I would like to have Joe Flacco as my quarterback,

503
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 1: but to expect even if he was healthy to act like,

504
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 1: oh Flaccos, they're they're okay. Because because if we talk

505
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:32,359
Speaker 1: about Atlanta saying, well, listen, not a lot's changed. Not

506
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:34,720
Speaker 1: a lot is changed for Baltimore's offense either, And I

507
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:37,440
Speaker 1: don't like the ground game. And if they can't run

508
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:39,399
Speaker 1: the ball, what what they're gonna get caught caught in

509
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 1: these bad passing situations? Will sit You're replaced, you know,

510
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 1: Steve Smith, that Jeremy Macklin, you're not too exciting running back.

511
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:49,359
Speaker 1: I'm with you, um alright, moving on the alright market

512
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:52,719
Speaker 1: excited because it's a new era for the Cleveland Browns,

513
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 1: who after last year's complete tear down and the one

514
00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 1: in fifteen, uh, the offseas in spending and all the

515
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:04,240
Speaker 1: first round picks. Now we get to see are the

516
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 1: Browns actually any better? And they get a test right

517
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:11,879
Speaker 1: away in their own building against their old nemesis, the

518
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:14,840
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers. And you know, to ramp up the drama

519
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:17,359
Speaker 1: a little bit, there's a certain cornerback, Joe Hayden, that

520
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:20,800
Speaker 1: is now playing for the they called the Silver, No

521
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:22,919
Speaker 1: they call what do they call it? The Black and Gold?

522
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:27,040
Speaker 1: They call you know, it's something famous Whiz Khalifa song

523
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:34,440
Speaker 1: in honor of yes how come No? But I think

524
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:37,520
Speaker 1: it was about Pittsburgh Sports though it was about the Steelers,

525
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 1: but he gotta go gold blocking gold blocking gold. See

526
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:44,200
Speaker 1: that would have been better. Yeah, that's exactly how Whiz

527
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:46,199
Speaker 1: Khalifa sounds. By the way, this is our you know,

528
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:48,679
Speaker 1: we've got some test research back. They wanted us to

529
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:51,639
Speaker 1: reach out more to the young market. This is this

530
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:54,160
Speaker 1: is it. Well you've achieved that, guys. A few more

531
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:56,680
Speaker 1: hip hop and R and B refs, and you're ready

532
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:58,159
Speaker 1: to go to the next level, despite the fact that

533
00:26:58,160 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 1: we're not going to allow you to sample any of

534
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:01,919
Speaker 1: that music on any of your shows. So we've just

535
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:05,400
Speaker 1: we just kind of correctly talked about a six year

536
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 1: old wrap song. So we're on the right track. We're

537
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:11,320
Speaker 1: flying high. But will the Browns. A couple of times

538
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:13,879
Speaker 1: you know, I I tet We were in texting about

539
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:16,360
Speaker 1: this Miles Garrett high ankle sprain. He's gonna cost him

540
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:19,760
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks at least. Uh and high ankle sprain. Uh.

541
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 1: I'm not a doctor, but what that means is he

542
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:24,960
Speaker 1: tore some legaments in his in his lower leg, and

543
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,760
Speaker 1: so we don't know, um how long he'll really be out.

544
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:31,159
Speaker 1: But it was almost I don't know with the Browns.

545
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:33,080
Speaker 1: It just feels like it was you were waiting for

546
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:34,680
Speaker 1: the other shoe to drop with this guy. At least

547
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 1: I was, because it was too good to be true.

548
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:38,560
Speaker 1: How great he was looking. And now he's out of

549
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:41,360
Speaker 1: the picture. How frustrating for you, Mark, It is frustrating.

550
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 1: At the same time, I think that you have to

551
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 1: look at the season as not one where Cleveland's chasing

552
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:50,600
Speaker 1: the playoff spot. I want to see development and Garrett

553
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:53,159
Speaker 1: will be back. I think de Sean Kaiser makes the

554
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:55,959
Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns a much more interesting team to watch than

555
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:59,120
Speaker 1: they've been probably since I've worked here, and I mean

556
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:02,399
Speaker 1: dating back to their ten wins season in two thousand seven.

557
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:04,359
Speaker 1: I don't know if you could have asked for a

558
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:07,239
Speaker 1: more vicious matchup out of the gate, outside of the

559
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:10,240
Speaker 1: outside of the Patriots, or maybe you know the Packers

560
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:13,400
Speaker 1: are certain I don't. Well, here's the problem. I mean,

561
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:16,840
Speaker 1: this will change if they begin to win. But Cleveland's

562
00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:19,720
Speaker 1: home field advantage has meant very little, and it's meant

563
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:25,199
Speaker 1: nothing against the Steelers. Ben Roethlisberger has made mincemeat of

564
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:28,360
Speaker 1: Cleveland from the minute he hit You're absolutely right, not

565
00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:31,399
Speaker 1: much home field tough matchup plain of Steelers that said,

566
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:34,960
Speaker 1: if you're gonna play the Steelers offense, this might be

567
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:36,879
Speaker 1: the week to do it. This was one of those

568
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:40,479
Speaker 1: offenses that barely played in the preseason. I mean barely,

569
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:43,840
Speaker 1: and that's not even counting Levian Bell. Everyone's expected Marvin

570
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:46,520
Speaker 1: Martavis Bryant to be back like he was. We haven't

571
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:50,600
Speaker 1: seen that yet, you know, Roethlisberger brat like. I could

572
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:53,520
Speaker 1: feel them having a bit of a rough start, like

573
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 1: we've seen that offense have slumps throughout different seasons. And

574
00:28:57,120 --> 00:28:59,240
Speaker 1: Greg Williams defense, I think they're kind of ready to

575
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:01,840
Speaker 1: go if nothing know. Well, that's what makes the Garrett

576
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:04,880
Speaker 1: missing Garrett in this game specifically disappointing because it would

577
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:06,400
Speaker 1: have been great to see him make a play out

578
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 1: of the gate. But Cleveland, you gotta they have to

579
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 1: find a way to keep up. If Pittsburgh does find

580
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:14,080
Speaker 1: the groove, there's easily the Browns easily have seven or

581
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:16,760
Speaker 1: eight weeks. But before the defense tunes out. Greg Greg

582
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:21,720
Speaker 1: Williams right now, we're bed period where he will get

583
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 1: results out of this team. Uh Mark with the Deshaun

584
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:33,200
Speaker 1: Kaiser era here over undertime, ready over under, through the

585
00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 1: whole season, just this game. Well, I think this game

586
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:39,280
Speaker 1: is gonna be under territory and okay, let's do the

587
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 1: whole season. Ready, thirty four passing yards under, eighteen touchdowns

588
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:56,440
Speaker 1: under not by much, nineteen interceptions over m M. That

589
00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 1: wouldn't be a great fun season. I think I think

590
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:02,040
Speaker 1: his numbers be better than you think because their offensive

591
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:05,040
Speaker 1: line is should be really good. We have to see

592
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:06,560
Speaker 1: it like this is a game where you could argue,

593
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:09,080
Speaker 1: maybe they're offen who's which offensive line is better? Obviously

594
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:11,280
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh has done it before, but they got a lot

595
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:13,440
Speaker 1: of money in that Brown's offensive line and that could

596
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:15,280
Speaker 1: make and that killed them last year. So that was

597
00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 1: the right the right group to improve. But you know,

598
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:19,320
Speaker 1: it's weird and I could kind of see it. I'm

599
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:21,640
Speaker 1: not going to predict it. I think we'll probably all

600
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:24,920
Speaker 1: take the Steelers. I don't know, Mark, but um a

601
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:30,280
Speaker 1: scenario where Kaiser makes some plays and Greg's prediction about

602
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:33,440
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh's offense being a little rusty, the Brown steel game

603
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:36,640
Speaker 1: at home, and all of a sudden people are flying

604
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:39,480
Speaker 1: about the Cleveland Browns and it's a weak straight of

605
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 1: saying how they figured it out? They turned around the

606
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:45,040
Speaker 1: ship Um, for what completely far fetched to me? It's

607
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 1: not totally far fetched. They almost did it in the

608
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:49,960
Speaker 1: opener in two thousand fourteen after being down, like to

609
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 1: something in halftime. For one second while you were making that,

610
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:56,520
Speaker 1: for instance, I saw marks just heart and face glow

611
00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:58,360
Speaker 1: up in a way that I that I hadn't seen

612
00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:00,640
Speaker 1: since when we visited West. You are very happy to

613
00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:04,040
Speaker 1: see West just like a glow Well, I mean honestly

614
00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:07,560
Speaker 1: that the rivalry has not been a plugged in real

615
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:11,640
Speaker 1: rivalry since I was probably in the fifth or sixth grade. Kaiser,

616
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 1: by the way, is the third youngest starting quarterback since

617
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 1: nineteen seventy in the NFL. He's twenty one years old,

618
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:21,120
Speaker 1: so we'll see how he handles us. That is a

619
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:24,360
Speaker 1: lot to put on a kid's plate. Um, Good luck

620
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:28,720
Speaker 1: to the kid. Moving on, the Arizona Cardinals travel to

621
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:35,040
Speaker 1: Detroit to face the Lions. Um, Greg, what is the

622
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:37,360
Speaker 1: real Lion team that we're gonna see this year? It

623
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:39,160
Speaker 1: is the team in the back half of last season

624
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:41,160
Speaker 1: that was really one of the worst teams in the NFC,

625
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:43,680
Speaker 1: or the first half when they were falling behind but

626
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:46,800
Speaker 1: had some moxie and comeback wins. The line is gonna

627
00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:48,240
Speaker 1: be a push over this year or a team that's

628
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:49,800
Speaker 1: gonna be in the race like they were last year.

629
00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:51,960
Speaker 1: I think closer to the team that was in the

630
00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:54,200
Speaker 1: race because I think their offense will be solid. Their

631
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 1: defense is nothing to get excited about. That. I guess

632
00:31:57,240 --> 00:31:59,000
Speaker 1: if you're asking me which they're closer to, it's the

633
00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:01,760
Speaker 1: second team because that the offense is not a playoff

634
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:04,520
Speaker 1: type of defense. You saw the Patriots really take advantage

635
00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 1: of their first round pick Jared Davis in the preseason,

636
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 1: and that that got me thinking that David Johnson coming

637
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:13,600
Speaker 1: out of the backfield against this group zeke Zicky answer

638
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:16,560
Speaker 1: route rather hasn't practiced like we haven't seen him on

639
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:17,960
Speaker 1: the field. I just think they're gonna give up too

640
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:20,960
Speaker 1: many points. And and David Johnson is a guy I'm

641
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:22,959
Speaker 1: watching in this game for a guy that could be

642
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:25,320
Speaker 1: one of the greats. I mean, we're talking all time.

643
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:28,040
Speaker 1: We'll see you've got to have another season like he

644
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:30,000
Speaker 1: did a year ago. And I wouldn't be surprised if

645
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:32,840
Speaker 1: he did put up two back to back season that

646
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:35,600
Speaker 1: we've rarely seen out of running backs. I mean, they're

647
00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:37,560
Speaker 1: gonna give him the opportunity that's for sure. On the

648
00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 1: other side. Uh, yeah, with the Cardinals, we talked about

649
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:44,920
Speaker 1: this throughout the second half last year, how much better

650
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 1: Carson Palmer looked. Uh, But when you looked at them

651
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:51,240
Speaker 1: from statistical angle, big picture for the season their first

652
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:54,200
Speaker 1: in yards per game on offense in two thousand fifteen,

653
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:56,520
Speaker 1: they dropped all the way to ninth last year. Palmer

654
00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:58,000
Speaker 1: might have looked better at the end of the year,

655
00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:01,000
Speaker 1: but he's still a year older now. Uh. The wide

656
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:05,520
Speaker 1: receiver group is a question mark. Johnson's amazing, obviously, but

657
00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:09,880
Speaker 1: is anybody a little secretly worried that Arizona's offense is

658
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:12,000
Speaker 1: gonna have problems this year? I think it could take

659
00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:15,800
Speaker 1: them time to jail because John Brown has not really

660
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:18,200
Speaker 1: been able to be out there with the team. I thought,

661
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:20,880
Speaker 1: you know, Jeron Brown and J. J. Nelson did not

662
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:25,120
Speaker 1: really build great chemistry with Palmer in the preseason. But

663
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 1: you know, Fitzgerald, I think he could have a big

664
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:29,720
Speaker 1: game in this big, big, big game this week. Because

665
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:31,680
Speaker 1: Darius Slade does not move around, He's not gonna be

666
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:34,120
Speaker 1: covering Fitzgerald. They need to be a more balanced team,

667
00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:36,200
Speaker 1: and they could have been last year. Their defense was

668
00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 1: was a playoff defense, and I think arians came out

669
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:42,520
Speaker 1: of training, came actually feeling better about their cornerbacks, which

670
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:44,320
Speaker 1: has long been a problem, than than he has in

671
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:47,080
Speaker 1: a long time. I think he likes that secondary, he

672
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:49,440
Speaker 1: likes the defense overall. You mentioned your boy Kim d

673
00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:51,719
Speaker 1: J might be back on the field as early as

674
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:54,600
Speaker 1: this as early as this week, so I think they

675
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:58,080
Speaker 1: might not need to score forty points. Honey, badger looks awesome.

676
00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:05,240
Speaker 1: What is that? Oh no, Kim d Ch Kim d

677
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:13,040
Speaker 1: ch our hopes rest with you. Kimdych Kim d Ching.

678
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:18,480
Speaker 1: You fell out that window, but now you're the window

679
00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:26,840
Speaker 1: of opportuna d he is he? That was like an effect,

680
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:29,520
Speaker 1: very effective remix of the original that we heard for

681
00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:32,360
Speaker 1: many seasons. I gotta keep you there are no a

682
00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:34,560
Speaker 1: lot better than that Taylor Swift song. You and Tim

683
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:38,319
Speaker 1: post here, you know, talking about girl. We're in on that, right,

684
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:43,279
Speaker 1: I'm so in. Yeah, I'm a Swifty. Yeah, we're teams

685
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:45,120
Speaker 1: Swift all the way. We're in the squad. All right, bro,

686
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:48,759
Speaker 1: do listen if you just you guys are ready to

687
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 1: take the next step as a podcast. Now you gotta

688
00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:55,160
Speaker 1: start working in the pop references Taylor Swift's hot right

689
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:58,400
Speaker 1: now bring them up in your first preview show. That

690
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:03,439
Speaker 1: will get the kids boxed checked. Um. Anyway, I think

691
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:05,680
Speaker 1: the Lines win this game. Actually, I think it's a

692
00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:07,920
Speaker 1: close game. I don't know if it's gonna be. It

693
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:10,080
Speaker 1: could end up being another Matt Stafford come back at

694
00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:13,120
Speaker 1: the end, or it could be Carson Palmer need to

695
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:15,080
Speaker 1: go down the field. But I think the Lines win

696
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:16,920
Speaker 1: a close When I'm I'm looking forward to this game,

697
00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 1: they get a sneaky Game of the week potential. Yeah,

698
00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:20,840
Speaker 1: this could be a lot of fun. I'm taking the cards.

699
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:24,319
Speaker 1: I'm going card and before we before we move on,

700
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:26,359
Speaker 1: I just want to give you a little update about

701
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:33,120
Speaker 1: one of our favorite professional football players and now another

702
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:44,680
Speaker 1: of keeping wide receiver, Maurits Boringer, the German product who

703
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:49,400
Speaker 1: landed with the Vikings last year. UH drafted in fact

704
00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:53,759
Speaker 1: very organic draft day event. Um he did. It's stick

705
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:58,320
Speaker 1: with Minnesota. But this a direct report from Henry Hotson,

706
00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:02,319
Speaker 1: handsome Hank inside our own office, who works with the

707
00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:06,600
Speaker 1: a lot of the overseas players internationally is another term

708
00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:11,200
Speaker 1: people use. UH Henry reports. Actually, let's go breaking on

709
00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:19,600
Speaker 1: this that the Lions worked out Maurice's Boringer. Uh this week,

710
00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:22,320
Speaker 1: that's the starting end of it. It's a very casual

711
00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:26,160
Speaker 1: use of breaking in terms of news, you know, value

712
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:28,719
Speaker 1: and the fact that came out a day ago. The

713
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:35,320
Speaker 1: Lions have worked out more Bowringer and that was another

714
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:40,759
Speaker 1: addition of keeping up with trying to explain. Henry gave

715
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:43,200
Speaker 1: me kind of a little bit of guff, like, you know,

716
00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:44,799
Speaker 1: I know what you're trying to do with that. No,

717
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:47,960
Speaker 1: it's an interesting story and we're tracking it where I thought. No,

718
00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:51,440
Speaker 1: it was just pure total respect in class. And it's

719
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:54,920
Speaker 1: it's art is what it is. That songs delightful. It's

720
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:57,239
Speaker 1: like the German cold Play if you ever like, what

721
00:36:57,280 --> 00:37:00,560
Speaker 1: would cold Play sound like if they were born and

722
00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:05,719
Speaker 1: raised in Berlin. That basically moving on, the Jacksonville Jaguars

723
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:10,520
Speaker 1: travel to Houston to face the Texans and uh, of course,

724
00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:15,480
Speaker 1: Hurricane Harvey UM devastated Houston. But the good news is

725
00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:19,120
Speaker 1: that UM it's moved out of the area and and

726
00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:22,720
Speaker 1: Houston is trying to regain a sense of normalcy and things.

727
00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:25,560
Speaker 1: It's a good sign that things are okay enough at

728
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:27,640
Speaker 1: least that they were able to say we can have

729
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:31,520
Speaker 1: eighty thousand people get together at an RG stadium and

730
00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:34,080
Speaker 1: play a football game. So that's what they're gonna get.

731
00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:38,399
Speaker 1: And to me, Greg, this is a great opponent, uh

732
00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:40,880
Speaker 1: for we're gonna have a uh. It's gonna be an

733
00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:43,400
Speaker 1: emotional game for that city. J J. Watt, who is

734
00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:45,880
Speaker 1: now raised I think over seven trillion dollars in a

735
00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:49,279
Speaker 1: hurricane relief. Nice job by Justice outrageously. I think it's

736
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:52,719
Speaker 1: over thirty million. Well with what he started as a goal,

737
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:55,040
Speaker 1: it's incredible what he's done twenty seven as of eight

738
00:37:55,080 --> 00:38:00,480
Speaker 1: hours ago. That J. J. Watt is incredible. Um. But

739
00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:05,560
Speaker 1: the emotional scene in Houston and now the Jaguars with

740
00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:08,799
Speaker 1: Blake Boardles slash Chad Henny a quarterback, feel like a

741
00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:11,480
Speaker 1: perfect team to roll in there, and then the city

742
00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:16,520
Speaker 1: of Houston persevers with a blood bath like crazy, I

743
00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:18,279
Speaker 1: feel like this could be the blow out of the week.

744
00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:22,719
Speaker 1: It's possible, but I tend to believe that both of

745
00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:26,520
Speaker 1: these defenses should and maybe the emotion changes this, but

746
00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:29,759
Speaker 1: should be way ahead of both of these offenses. So

747
00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:33,320
Speaker 1: like the Ravens game or the Bills game, this should

748
00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:35,920
Speaker 1: be a game where the Jaguars defense is thinking what

749
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:38,600
Speaker 1: we get? We get Tom Savage. We get an offensive

750
00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:41,120
Speaker 1: line that's missing Dwayne Brown that's kind of been under

751
00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:45,240
Speaker 1: the radar there. Tom Savage is real, so is Dwayne

752
00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:48,200
Speaker 1: Brown's hold out. He's not coming back anytime soon. Dayne.

753
00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:50,480
Speaker 1: What are you doing? Bro? Their their line is bad.

754
00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:53,960
Speaker 1: Their receiver group is thin enough that Bruce Ellington, who

755
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:57,320
Speaker 1: bounced around a couple of teams this month, including the Jets,

756
00:38:57,640 --> 00:38:59,520
Speaker 1: he jumps on that team and he's kind of playing

757
00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:01,560
Speaker 1: in the root Patian like. They don't really have a

758
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:04,440
Speaker 1: number two receivers. So I think the Jagguers defense is thing.

759
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:06,080
Speaker 1: We can shut this team down. It's gonna be a

760
00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:07,880
Speaker 1: low scoring game. I'm with you. It reminds me a

761
00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:09,759
Speaker 1: little bit of when the Saints came back to the

762
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:12,880
Speaker 1: Superdome and just there is a lot of human energy

763
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:14,919
Speaker 1: attached to this and this could be if it got

764
00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:17,239
Speaker 1: off well for the Texans, maybe you just ride into

765
00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:19,320
Speaker 1: the sunset in this game. I am concerned though with

766
00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:23,120
Speaker 1: Jacksonville defense is there, but this whole thing where Leonard

767
00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:25,640
Speaker 1: four Nette is going to get the ball eight billion times,

768
00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:29,040
Speaker 1: by the way, defenses know that, and there's zero threat

769
00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:31,480
Speaker 1: coming from Blake Bortles in the passing game. This could

770
00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:34,040
Speaker 1: be an easy offense to diagnose and figure out week

771
00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:36,799
Speaker 1: to week. And I don't see good things for Jacksonville

772
00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:38,720
Speaker 1: at all. And no matter what's going on with defense,

773
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:40,839
Speaker 1: this is how I kind of imagine a playing out.

774
00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:45,360
Speaker 1: Houston makes a big special teams play, uh, Jacksonville a

775
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:47,160
Speaker 1: lot of three and outs, and as good as their

776
00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:49,080
Speaker 1: defense is, they're gonna be on the field too much

777
00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:51,759
Speaker 1: and eventually they'll get worn down. And before you know,

778
00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:55,160
Speaker 1: I just you know, twenty four six something. What happens.

779
00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:57,000
Speaker 1: You can convinced me I'm now a great with you

780
00:39:57,040 --> 00:39:58,840
Speaker 1: because what happens when J J. Watt and this is

781
00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:01,640
Speaker 1: gonna happen on the first drive drop sportals for like

782
00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:05,239
Speaker 1: a fourteen yard sack in the place, and and it

783
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:08,000
Speaker 1: doesn't take much to turn a football in. Houston deserves

784
00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:11,440
Speaker 1: a lot of credit for their crowd any year or

785
00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:13,719
Speaker 1: any game. I think it's one of the most underrated

786
00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:16,239
Speaker 1: home crowd home field advantages in the league. They're an

787
00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:18,960
Speaker 1: outstanding crowd. And it's the first game of my old

788
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:23,200
Speaker 1: buddy Mike Rabel as defensive cord. There's gonna there might

789
00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:26,240
Speaker 1: even we might have Steve Gleason moment. Remember after Katrina

790
00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:29,440
Speaker 1: the punt block. It feels like that game that started

791
00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:31,120
Speaker 1: a whole era of Saints football. I'm not saying that

792
00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:33,399
Speaker 1: that the Texans are poised for some type of run

793
00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:35,960
Speaker 1: that ends up with the super Bowl, but uh, that's

794
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:37,759
Speaker 1: the type of emotion that's going to be going on

795
00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:39,880
Speaker 1: in that building. And all will take is one bit

796
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:42,279
Speaker 1: and one last thing. And this is the Texans know

797
00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:44,920
Speaker 1: better than anyone about this. But if you're the Jaguars

798
00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:48,440
Speaker 1: and you live and reside in Jacksonville, Florida is getting

799
00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:50,400
Speaker 1: hit with their own hurricane, you have that on your

800
00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:55,880
Speaker 1: mind as well. Um. Moving on, gentlemen, to the Oakland Raiders.

801
00:40:56,800 --> 00:40:59,680
Speaker 1: What a season last year, but a better sweet season.

802
00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:01,920
Speaker 1: They went well ben four, which was not enough to

803
00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:05,080
Speaker 1: win the division. And then to top it off, Derek Carr,

804
00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:09,560
Speaker 1: who and in in addition to being uh a great

805
00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:14,040
Speaker 1: football player, is a god fearing man and just a

806
00:41:14,040 --> 00:41:15,520
Speaker 1: heck of a guy, as we know because he came

807
00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:19,360
Speaker 1: on our show. Well, I love that Derek Carr. Erica

808
00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:24,800
Speaker 1: Temposy just love him. What a I mean, what a dude.

809
00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:29,920
Speaker 1: She makes you work for that belt sometimes. Um. Anyway,

810
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:31,839
Speaker 1: so yeah, they got knocked out in the playoffs because

811
00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:34,280
Speaker 1: they didn't have a quarterback. Now they get a fresh

812
00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:36,640
Speaker 1: start with Marshawn Lynch and they go to Tennessee to

813
00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:39,600
Speaker 1: face the Titans. Mark this has potential game of the

814
00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:43,520
Speaker 1: week written all over at one pm Eastern, Start your thoughts.

815
00:41:43,640 --> 00:41:46,080
Speaker 1: Absolutely does, and it's I can't think of another matchup

816
00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:48,319
Speaker 1: where just a couple of seasons ago, this would have

817
00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:51,319
Speaker 1: been at bottom three or four game that someone would

818
00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:54,120
Speaker 1: have been in our office stuck monitoring to write up

819
00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:55,960
Speaker 1: some sort of what we learned. Now. I think it

820
00:41:56,080 --> 00:41:58,000
Speaker 1: was me. I think it's the third straight here. I'm

821
00:41:58,040 --> 00:42:00,759
Speaker 1: taking this game now. It's good what I want to

822
00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:04,280
Speaker 1: see because Oakland's defense, you know, yes, we've seen them struggle.

823
00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:07,239
Speaker 1: I think they have issues, especially in the secondary, and

824
00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:10,480
Speaker 1: so does Tennessee. Come out Week one, Tennessee was one

825
00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:12,160
Speaker 1: of the stories of the week because of the way

826
00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:14,080
Speaker 1: that they that offense, which was made fun of the

827
00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:18,560
Speaker 1: exotic smash mouth, absolutely looked incredibly fun to watch and

828
00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:20,719
Speaker 1: they were powerful and it showed you their vision. Do

829
00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:22,520
Speaker 1: you go out an attack a team like the Raiders

830
00:42:22,560 --> 00:42:25,239
Speaker 1: the same way this year because you have Marcus Mariotta

831
00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:27,840
Speaker 1: advancing as a pastor. They've got more weapons in the

832
00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:30,680
Speaker 1: passing game, not counting on Corey Davis much this year

833
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:32,640
Speaker 1: or this week, but you have a lot of other guys.

834
00:42:32,640 --> 00:42:34,400
Speaker 1: Do you maybe try to get up and not just

835
00:42:34,520 --> 00:42:36,360
Speaker 1: run the ball and shove it down Oakland's throat, but

836
00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:38,400
Speaker 1: move it through the air as well. I think so.

837
00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:40,960
Speaker 1: And this is a tough matchup for the Raiders, who

838
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:44,160
Speaker 1: are starting a fifth round rookie Marquel Lee at middle linebacker.

839
00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:47,319
Speaker 1: The two linebackers next to him, uh, not a lot

840
00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:49,920
Speaker 1: of great experience in the NFL. And this is a

841
00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:53,640
Speaker 1: tough team to stop, not just in terms of the

842
00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:57,160
Speaker 1: running game, which is linebacker responsibility, but the short passing game.

843
00:42:57,200 --> 00:42:59,680
Speaker 1: That's what Marcus Mariota does better than anyway. And that's

844
00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:02,840
Speaker 1: why I think this is a game where the Titans

845
00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:06,120
Speaker 1: are kind of stealing the old Raiders identity, you know

846
00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:08,960
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Like it's like a face off situation, like, oh,

847
00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:12,320
Speaker 1: you were that you were the cool rising team before

848
00:43:12,480 --> 00:43:17,200
Speaker 1: you've got the cool third Uh your quarterback coming out, No,

849
00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:20,480
Speaker 1: that was Now you're now your old news we're that

850
00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:23,120
Speaker 1: team now We're it's taking your identity. I like the

851
00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:25,200
Speaker 1: fact that you know New England can be a game

852
00:43:25,239 --> 00:43:27,319
Speaker 1: build another beverage. By the way, Luckily it did not

853
00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:30,040
Speaker 1: go on to his computer for another electronics disaster for

854
00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:34,720
Speaker 1: the Patriots. When they succeed, it lasts for fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen,

855
00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:39,359
Speaker 1: twenty seven years. Oakland had a six month strover. They're

856
00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:41,880
Speaker 1: just not the cool new young actor, you know what

857
00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:43,840
Speaker 1: I mean. They're just They've been there now I'm gonna

858
00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:46,000
Speaker 1: be now. I'm gonna get the Titans fans mad at

859
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:49,640
Speaker 1: me because I'm on their radar, which I enjoy. You

860
00:43:49,719 --> 00:43:51,640
Speaker 1: show it to me this season. I don't want to

861
00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:53,719
Speaker 1: hear it about your nine and seventh season and your

862
00:43:53,760 --> 00:43:57,279
Speaker 1: special quarterback. To me, you're still the Titoons until you

863
00:43:57,360 --> 00:44:00,359
Speaker 1: win a big game in a big spot in your

864
00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:03,080
Speaker 1: building against the twelve and four team, You're not the

865
00:44:03,120 --> 00:44:06,080
Speaker 1: tight Tuns anymore. When this ball game, I'll tell you

866
00:44:06,120 --> 00:44:09,200
Speaker 1: what couldn't disagree anymore with you. It's gonna happen this

867
00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:12,520
Speaker 1: week that I didn't pick. I didn't pick the Titans.

868
00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:19,440
Speaker 1: I am picking your transition that was forget the Raiders.

869
00:44:19,480 --> 00:44:23,040
Speaker 1: This is gonna be Tennessee's march to the a f C. Championship.

870
00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:27,919
Speaker 1: Whoa there it is is Zerka's first preview show. She's

871
00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:31,359
Speaker 1: doing great. Always gotta be ready, Erica, because when when

872
00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:34,960
Speaker 1: one of us locks it up, it's it's a volcano, right,

873
00:44:35,080 --> 00:44:37,319
Speaker 1: It's one of those on every page because just to

874
00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:39,319
Speaker 1: switch around and really quick keep you know, you caught

875
00:44:39,320 --> 00:44:41,440
Speaker 1: me off guard that, yeah, that might one. Well, the

876
00:44:41,480 --> 00:44:44,360
Speaker 1: combination lock on that vault changed over the off season,

877
00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:46,879
Speaker 1: so that took a little bit. That. Yeah, we got

878
00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:51,120
Speaker 1: it the first lock of the season. Very interesting. So yeah,

879
00:44:49,960 --> 00:44:52,800
Speaker 1: I'm gonna yeah, you know what I will pick. The

880
00:44:52,880 --> 00:44:56,960
Speaker 1: Raiders shall be Titoons. You think you're so special this season?

881
00:44:57,840 --> 00:45:00,319
Speaker 1: You don't got Derek Carr. That guy is a good

882
00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:05,000
Speaker 1: Christian and a good football player. Moving on, by the way,

883
00:45:05,040 --> 00:45:07,920
Speaker 1: so is Marcus Mariotte on both accounts. Yeah exactly. You

884
00:45:07,960 --> 00:45:12,560
Speaker 1: have no proof of that, all right, No, I'm just

885
00:45:12,600 --> 00:45:15,680
Speaker 1: slinging arrows at the man's character. You know, when you

886
00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:23,359
Speaker 1: run your own business, boys, that's probably never gonna have it. Maybe. Sorry.

887
00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:26,000
Speaker 1: You know, the time equals money. It's not just an

888
00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:30,359
Speaker 1: old saying, it's a fact. So why waste valuable time

Speaker 1: dealing with issues that legal Zoom can help with? Oh yeah.

890

Speaker 1: used legal Zoom to start their businesses. But legal Zoom

892
00:45:42,719 --> 00:45:46,160

893
00:45:46,200 --> 00:45:48,640
Speaker 1: hiring employees, basically a lot of fine print. That's why

00:47:00,719 --> 00:47:06,120
Speaker 1: good lawyer. Legal zon that works well. It's sort of

916
00:47:06,160 --> 00:47:08,480
Speaker 1: saying that we're replacing lawyers. So I don't I'm not.

917
00:47:08,600 --> 00:47:09,880
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't need to get deeper in

918
00:47:09,920 --> 00:47:12,399
Speaker 1: a little bit hazy. Yeah, read the ad. Yeah. Moving

919
00:47:12,440 --> 00:47:15,680
Speaker 1: on the Philadelphia Eagles, uh seven or nine last year

920
00:47:15,680 --> 00:47:18,600
Speaker 1: with their rookie quarterback Carson Wentz. Year two for Wentz

921
00:47:18,640 --> 00:47:23,799
Speaker 1: begins with a division matchup against the Washington Redskins, coming

922
00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:27,759
Speaker 1: off an eight seven and one Kirk Cousins. Uh. Still,

923
00:47:27,800 --> 00:47:30,680
Speaker 1: I mean we're doing it again. He's in another proven year.

924
00:47:31,360 --> 00:47:33,440
Speaker 1: I'll be at a proven year where he's making like

925
00:47:33,480 --> 00:47:36,000
Speaker 1: twenty four million dollars. Nice little set up you got

926
00:47:36,080 --> 00:47:38,880
Speaker 1: going there, buddy boy um, but this will be a

927
00:47:38,960 --> 00:47:42,040
Speaker 1: nice test right out of the gate. Mark your thoughts.

928
00:47:43,200 --> 00:47:46,400
Speaker 1: I just couldn't have been less impressed with the Redskins

929
00:47:46,400 --> 00:47:48,440
Speaker 1: over the course of the preseason and maybe you just

930
00:47:48,480 --> 00:47:52,279
Speaker 1: turn it on now, but they're Terrell Prior brought in

931
00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:56,000
Speaker 1: no overt chemistry with with Cousins. The defense, to me,

932
00:47:56,520 --> 00:47:58,480
Speaker 1: has been an issue under Jake Gruden from the very

933
00:47:58,520 --> 00:48:02,560
Speaker 1: beginning and one thing I watched with the Eagles was

934
00:48:02,600 --> 00:48:05,279
Speaker 1: their defensive front looked as good as any teams in

935
00:48:05,320 --> 00:48:07,920
Speaker 1: the league. And so how is Washington gonna come in

936
00:48:08,360 --> 00:48:10,439
Speaker 1: and have a balanced attack against this? I think Jim

937
00:48:10,480 --> 00:48:13,279
Speaker 1: Schwartz is going to look be looked as a coordinator

938
00:48:13,320 --> 00:48:15,319
Speaker 1: of the Year by the time this thing is over.

939
00:48:15,719 --> 00:48:18,600
Speaker 1: And I don't know if Carson Wentz, you know, it's

940
00:48:18,600 --> 00:48:21,719
Speaker 1: not all on him. Definitely a suspect end of his

941
00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:24,799
Speaker 1: season last year. But I think Philadelphia takes this game.

942
00:48:25,680 --> 00:48:27,920
Speaker 1: I I think what you saw in the preseason was

943
00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:29,880
Speaker 1: seen by a lot of people. The Eagles are favored

944
00:48:29,920 --> 00:48:33,120
Speaker 1: in this game, surprising league on the road, a lot

945
00:48:33,120 --> 00:48:35,560
Speaker 1: of disrespect for a Redskins team with winning records the

946
00:48:35,640 --> 00:48:39,200
Speaker 1: last two seasons while the Eagles have been struggling. This

947
00:48:39,280 --> 00:48:42,320
Speaker 1: is not necessarily an easy matchup for the the Eagles.

948
00:48:42,440 --> 00:48:46,000
Speaker 1: Passing game I heard I heard from someone I might

949
00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:49,239
Speaker 1: even got call it a league source that pointed out

950
00:48:49,239 --> 00:48:53,160
Speaker 1: they thought maybe the Washington cornerback group about as good

951
00:48:53,200 --> 00:48:56,520
Speaker 1: as any cornerback group in the in the league right now.

952
00:48:56,560 --> 00:49:00,239
Speaker 1: Not a popular opinion, but if Brissad Brilon plays his

953
00:49:00,280 --> 00:49:04,320
Speaker 1: potential with Josh Norman, they've got a good underrated slot

954
00:49:04,320 --> 00:49:06,759
Speaker 1: cornerback and Kendall Fuller, and then they drafted two guys

955
00:49:06,760 --> 00:49:08,960
Speaker 1: who looked pretty good in the preseason. They actually could

956
00:49:09,000 --> 00:49:11,040
Speaker 1: have a nice secondary. We've been looking for this defense

957
00:49:11,080 --> 00:49:14,160
Speaker 1: to happen, some sort of identity. Maybe it's there. The

958
00:49:14,280 --> 00:49:17,359
Speaker 1: numbers paid an ugly picture about this defense last year.

959
00:49:17,400 --> 00:49:21,120
Speaker 1: They ran overall thirty second lesson league on third down

960
00:49:21,160 --> 00:49:23,399
Speaker 1: getting off the field, and they were thirtieth and giving

961
00:49:23,480 --> 00:49:26,080
Speaker 1: up big plays. So the secondary was a major issue

962
00:49:26,160 --> 00:49:28,479
Speaker 1: last season. So they they're gonna need to get better

963
00:49:28,520 --> 00:49:30,279
Speaker 1: on that front, and the offense is gonna have to

964
00:49:30,280 --> 00:49:31,799
Speaker 1: be just as good there was. They were a third

965
00:49:31,840 --> 00:49:34,800
Speaker 1: ranked offense last year. These new parts twelve prior, I

966
00:49:34,840 --> 00:49:37,160
Speaker 1: mean expecting for them to lock in. With the amount

967
00:49:37,160 --> 00:49:39,759
Speaker 1: of limited snaps Kirk Cousins is gonna get I'm not

968
00:49:39,800 --> 00:49:41,799
Speaker 1: gonna put too much stock into that, but he's gonna

969
00:49:41,800 --> 00:49:43,880
Speaker 1: have to hit the ground running, and they're gonna have

970
00:49:43,880 --> 00:49:45,719
Speaker 1: to make plays well. I mean, there are there are

971
00:49:45,760 --> 00:49:48,440
Speaker 1: teams that looked completely in sync in the preseason, and

972
00:49:48,480 --> 00:49:50,080
Speaker 1: there ares that that there's something that didn't and then

973
00:49:50,080 --> 00:49:51,439
Speaker 1: you don't know how much to put in that either.

974
00:49:51,520 --> 00:49:55,240
Speaker 1: But Cousins did not look like even a top quarterback

975
00:49:55,640 --> 00:49:58,160
Speaker 1: in the Presea Josh stats, and we didn't really see

976
00:49:58,239 --> 00:50:02,239
Speaker 1: outs on Jeffrey. There's been various reports about how well

977
00:50:02,360 --> 00:50:04,640
Speaker 1: he's catching up on that offense. So these are two

978
00:50:04,719 --> 00:50:06,399
Speaker 1: teams that you you kind of don't know what you're

979
00:50:06,400 --> 00:50:08,560
Speaker 1: gonna get out of their offenses going into the season.

980
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:11,440
Speaker 1: But I mean, honestly, though, even with the struggles in

981
00:50:11,480 --> 00:50:14,359
Speaker 1: the preseason, would you be stunned if Kirk Cousins. No,

982
00:50:14,400 --> 00:50:17,560
Speaker 1: not at all, because because I was almost surprised by

983
00:50:17,640 --> 00:50:19,920
Speaker 1: how poor they looked. Because this is a team that

984
00:50:20,080 --> 00:50:21,960
Speaker 1: I thought last year had one of the more intriguing

985
00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:25,200
Speaker 1: offenses in the entire NFL. And the Eagles they got Darby,

986
00:50:25,440 --> 00:50:27,960
Speaker 1: great move, but they did that because they were desperate,

987
00:50:27,960 --> 00:50:31,120
Speaker 1: because their cornerback situation was among the league's worst. They

988
00:50:31,120 --> 00:50:33,160
Speaker 1: had to do that. So it's not like one guy

989
00:50:33,239 --> 00:50:35,560
Speaker 1: is suddenly going to make them a great cornerback. At

990
00:50:35,600 --> 00:50:38,640
Speaker 1: least he he has, like individually looked very good for them.

991
00:50:38,640 --> 00:50:43,200
Speaker 1: So a different offensive coordinator, a different situation entirely, but

992
00:50:43,600 --> 00:50:46,320
Speaker 1: once upon a time the same franchise pulled the ultimate

993
00:50:46,320 --> 00:50:49,640
Speaker 1: preseason ropa dope with RG three, showing nothing in the

994
00:50:49,640 --> 00:50:53,120
Speaker 1: preseason and then blowing everyone away. That's what Redskins fans

995
00:50:53,120 --> 00:50:55,319
Speaker 1: are hoping that they'll see that real offense in Week one.

996
00:50:55,400 --> 00:50:57,680
Speaker 1: It's the it's the Wade Phillips curse. The minute that

997
00:50:57,800 --> 00:51:00,719
Speaker 1: Jay Gruden thought that he was so great he could

998
00:51:00,880 --> 00:51:04,200
Speaker 1: not hire Wade Phillips for defensive coordinator and bringing one

999
00:51:04,200 --> 00:51:06,239
Speaker 1: of his old buddies who no longer is even there.

1000
00:51:07,320 --> 00:51:11,120
Speaker 1: How good were the Greg's radar well, because if you

1001
00:51:11,239 --> 00:51:13,640
Speaker 1: if in Wade Phillips's book, if you if you read

1002
00:51:13,640 --> 00:51:16,359
Speaker 1: it's like Jake Gourden sort of was disrespectful, like in

1003
00:51:16,400 --> 00:51:18,160
Speaker 1: the the interview he had him like watch a bunch

1004
00:51:18,160 --> 00:51:21,279
Speaker 1: of like tape where Gruden handed him his lunch and

1005
00:51:21,280 --> 00:51:25,359
Speaker 1: then just never talked to me and moving on. Very weird.

1006
00:51:25,920 --> 00:51:30,799
Speaker 1: The Indianapolis Colts without Andrew luck out at least week

1007
00:51:30,840 --> 00:51:33,840
Speaker 1: one and perhaps several more weeks beyond that, travel to

1008
00:51:33,920 --> 00:51:39,440
Speaker 1: Los Angeles to face the Rams. Okay, boys. There is

1009
00:51:39,480 --> 00:51:41,120
Speaker 1: buzz that the Rams are gonna be a better team

1010
00:51:41,160 --> 00:51:43,960
Speaker 1: this year. Uh, and I I feel they'll be better.

1011
00:51:44,000 --> 00:51:45,880
Speaker 1: Do I think they're gonna become a Cinderella's story in

1012
00:51:45,880 --> 00:51:48,000
Speaker 1: the NFL. Maybe I'm not gonna go that far, but

1013
00:51:48,040 --> 00:51:50,080
Speaker 1: I think, thanks good. I think they have a good

1014
00:51:50,120 --> 00:51:53,080
Speaker 1: that's true. They have a good chance. And hold that thought.

1015
00:51:53,320 --> 00:51:54,880
Speaker 1: They have a good chance to me to double their

1016
00:51:54,920 --> 00:51:56,839
Speaker 1: win total, which would make them a five hundred team

1017
00:51:56,880 --> 00:52:00,120
Speaker 1: this season. And I think it gets off to a

1018
00:52:00,160 --> 00:52:03,080
Speaker 1: great start. You cannot ask for a better situation for

1019
00:52:03,120 --> 00:52:06,360
Speaker 1: a Rams team really trying to get the city excited

1020
00:52:06,360 --> 00:52:08,879
Speaker 1: after what was a difficult first season back in l A.

1021
00:52:09,040 --> 00:52:12,040
Speaker 1: You get the Colts coming to your building with Scott

1022
00:52:12,120 --> 00:52:16,239
Speaker 1: Tolzine at quarterback. And let me say something about this.

1023
00:52:16,880 --> 00:52:20,400
Speaker 1: If you're looking, if you're playing knockout pools, uh, If

1024
00:52:20,480 --> 00:52:22,920
Speaker 1: you are just someone that likes to head out to

1025
00:52:22,920 --> 00:52:27,160
Speaker 1: the desert, my advice to you is get behind the team,

1026
00:52:27,200 --> 00:52:30,880
Speaker 1: play against Scott Tolzine as long as this lasts. And

1027
00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:34,040
Speaker 1: that's why, and you don't see this typically, but that's

1028
00:52:34,080 --> 00:52:36,400
Speaker 1: why I'm looking at a four and twelve team, and

1029
00:52:36,440 --> 00:52:39,040
Speaker 1: you know what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna oh, he's

1030
00:52:39,040 --> 00:52:48,120
Speaker 1: that going to thank you, Chris Wesley. I'm locking this

1031
00:52:48,160 --> 00:52:51,839
Speaker 1: one up. Let's go Rams. Wow. I was gonna lock

1032
00:52:51,840 --> 00:52:53,040
Speaker 1: it up too, but now I don't want to. I'm

1033
00:52:53,080 --> 00:52:54,799
Speaker 1: gonna push it through another game. I don't like the

1034
00:52:54,800 --> 00:52:57,040
Speaker 1: double lock it up on the same game, but I

1035
00:52:57,120 --> 00:53:00,960
Speaker 1: love this. I love the thought behind it because I

1036
00:53:00,960 --> 00:53:04,120
Speaker 1: I just like Robert Quinn being unleashed. We haven't really

1037
00:53:04,160 --> 00:53:06,759
Speaker 1: seen this defense. They they set seven of their best

1038
00:53:06,800 --> 00:53:09,879
Speaker 1: starters in the third third preseason game, which an odd move.

1039
00:53:09,920 --> 00:53:12,000
Speaker 1: But Sean McVeigh has gotta be licking his jobs because

1040
00:53:12,120 --> 00:53:14,480
Speaker 1: it's not just a great matchup against Scott Tolzine, it's

1041
00:53:14,480 --> 00:53:18,560
Speaker 1: a great matchup against Avante davis less defense. And I

1042
00:53:18,600 --> 00:53:20,520
Speaker 1: know they like their defensive line. They say this is

1043
00:53:20,560 --> 00:53:22,839
Speaker 1: the best looking defensive line they've had in a few years. Well,

1044
00:53:22,880 --> 00:53:26,160
Speaker 1: that's damning with faint praise. This is a league average

1045
00:53:26,200 --> 00:53:28,719
Speaker 1: defensive line, I would say, And overall, the talent and

1046
00:53:28,760 --> 00:53:31,440
Speaker 1: the continuity, it's just not there for Indiannaples. I think

1047
00:53:31,480 --> 00:53:32,880
Speaker 1: they're one of the worst teams in the league. And

1048
00:53:33,040 --> 00:53:34,640
Speaker 1: I'm with you. Yeah, if there's a if there's a

1049
00:53:34,640 --> 00:53:36,640
Speaker 1: week where you don't have Aaron Donald and you're gonna

1050
00:53:36,640 --> 00:53:38,719
Speaker 1: get him back potentially next week. If they can solve that,

1051
00:53:38,920 --> 00:53:41,879
Speaker 1: who knows, this would be the week because I just

1052
00:53:41,960 --> 00:53:45,399
Speaker 1: don't see how the Cults get anything done against the Rims.

1053
00:53:45,440 --> 00:53:47,960
Speaker 1: And I do think that you have you have Sammy Watkinson,

1054
00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:51,360
Speaker 1: Cooper Cup against cornerbacks for Sean Melvin, Quincy Wilson. I

1055
00:53:51,440 --> 00:53:53,719
Speaker 1: just the Colts don't have a strength in this game.

1056
00:53:53,760 --> 00:53:56,600
Speaker 1: It's a bad sign when the Colts put their depth

1057
00:53:56,640 --> 00:53:58,680
Speaker 1: chart out and the reporters thought it was a TYPEO

1058
00:53:58,719 --> 00:54:00,399
Speaker 1: because they had made so many change is on their

1059
00:54:00,440 --> 00:54:02,720
Speaker 1: offensive line that they had never actually done in practice.

1060
00:54:02,920 --> 00:54:06,360
Speaker 1: All right, let's move on. This is uh I believe

1061
00:54:06,560 --> 00:54:09,759
Speaker 1: Is it the first late game we're gonna talk about? No,

1062
00:54:09,840 --> 00:54:13,560
Speaker 1: it's not, but it is the Fox game. The Seattle

1063
00:54:13,600 --> 00:54:19,000
Speaker 1: Seahawks traveling to Green Bay to face the Packers. Gentlemen Um.

1064
00:54:19,040 --> 00:54:22,960
Speaker 1: In the afer mentioned um research guide post that I'm

1065
00:54:22,960 --> 00:54:25,040
Speaker 1: writing this week, I wrote about Aaron Rodgers this week

1066
00:54:25,080 --> 00:54:29,520
Speaker 1: because in the research guide he has looked great against

1067
00:54:29,600 --> 00:54:32,360
Speaker 1: the Pack against the Seattle Seahawks in their last two matchups,

1068
00:54:32,400 --> 00:54:35,560
Speaker 1: both at Lambeau where the game is again but It's

1069
00:54:35,800 --> 00:54:39,560
Speaker 1: important caveats here is that Camp Chancellor missed that first matchup.

1070
00:54:39,840 --> 00:54:42,000
Speaker 1: Earl Thomas missed the one last year, which was a

1071
00:54:42,040 --> 00:54:46,719
Speaker 1: blowout in December. Now you have a fully stacked defense

1072
00:54:46,880 --> 00:54:50,480
Speaker 1: for Seattle, and prior to uh those two games Rogers

1073
00:54:50,520 --> 00:54:54,040
Speaker 1: had fair poorly against the Legion of Boom Uh. Do

1074
00:54:54,120 --> 00:54:58,319
Speaker 1: you see that happening in this game? I don't. I

1075
00:54:58,360 --> 00:55:01,680
Speaker 1: think Aaron Rodgers in the offense set up well, the

1076
00:55:01,920 --> 00:55:04,680
Speaker 1: play well, and this is the best. Really, these next

1077
00:55:04,719 --> 00:55:07,399
Speaker 1: two big NFC games we're talking about are the two

1078
00:55:07,400 --> 00:55:10,600
Speaker 1: best offenses in the NFC, Green Bay and Dallas, who

1079
00:55:10,640 --> 00:55:13,400
Speaker 1: are going up against the two best defenses in the NFC,

1080
00:55:13,440 --> 00:55:15,680
Speaker 1: Seattle and the Giants. I think it's strength and strength.

1081
00:55:15,719 --> 00:55:20,520
Speaker 1: They both do well, and I think it's Seattle really

1082
00:55:20,640 --> 00:55:22,759
Speaker 1: really would love to get this win because it's it's

1083
00:55:22,800 --> 00:55:25,280
Speaker 1: another week one game. This keeps happening with them hitting

1084
00:55:25,280 --> 00:55:28,000
Speaker 1: them against that you feel like it's gonna make a

1085
00:55:28,040 --> 00:55:30,320
Speaker 1: big difference late in the season in terms of seating.

1086
00:55:30,680 --> 00:55:34,160
Speaker 1: Couldn't agree more. I mean, eight Pro bowlers on Seattle's defense,

1087
00:55:34,480 --> 00:55:36,560
Speaker 1: and when you look at like the next gen stats

1088
00:55:36,600 --> 00:55:40,480
Speaker 1: for how teams attacks Seattle when Earl Thomas specifically was

1089
00:55:40,600 --> 00:55:43,279
Speaker 1: not on the field. It's just a vast difference. And

1090
00:55:43,360 --> 00:55:46,960
Speaker 1: so you've got a healthy defense. You've also got Russell Wilson,

1091
00:55:46,960 --> 00:55:50,040
Speaker 1: who they're They're finally acknowledging basically that all of last

1092
00:55:50,080 --> 00:55:53,480
Speaker 1: season is so attributed to attributed to his injuries. He

1093
00:55:53,480 --> 00:55:57,440
Speaker 1: looks better than ever. He lost weight, he looks extremely athletic,

1094
00:55:57,480 --> 00:55:59,520
Speaker 1: and I think that Russell Wilson's, you know, gonna put

1095
00:55:59,560 --> 00:56:02,279
Speaker 1: together a fantastic season. The Patriots get a lot of

1096
00:56:02,280 --> 00:56:06,120
Speaker 1: credit for beating the free agency system. These two teams

1097
00:56:06,160 --> 00:56:08,560
Speaker 1: have been in the divisional round of the playoffs in

1098
00:56:08,600 --> 00:56:11,920
Speaker 1: the NFC six out of seven years each, So this

1099
00:56:12,160 --> 00:56:13,840
Speaker 1: these are the teams every year, and I look at

1100
00:56:13,880 --> 00:56:15,799
Speaker 1: the NFC again and these are the two teams that

1101
00:56:15,880 --> 00:56:19,000
Speaker 1: I that I like, And Yeah, I think Russell Wilson's

1102
00:56:19,040 --> 00:56:21,279
Speaker 1: my pick for m v p uh And that's why

1103
00:56:21,280 --> 00:56:23,120
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna go. So I would be really

1104
00:56:23,160 --> 00:56:25,880
Speaker 1: surprised if this team is not playing is in the

1105
00:56:25,920 --> 00:56:29,080
Speaker 1: final eight teams in the NFL this season, And I

1106
00:56:29,120 --> 00:56:30,719
Speaker 1: could go out on a limb and say I would

1107
00:56:30,719 --> 00:56:32,279
Speaker 1: be surprised if they're not in the NFC title game.

1108
00:56:32,280 --> 00:56:34,680
Speaker 1: That's not which I like Seattle with this offense looking

1109
00:56:34,719 --> 00:56:37,200
Speaker 1: like it's ready to take the next step, and this defense,

1110
00:56:37,239 --> 00:56:40,719
Speaker 1: which could be back to two thousand two Seattle, you

1111
00:56:40,760 --> 00:56:44,600
Speaker 1: know handles the running back committee and also with green Bay.

1112
00:56:44,640 --> 00:56:47,440
Speaker 1: I mean time Montgomery, I I don't I don't know

1113
00:56:47,480 --> 00:56:49,640
Speaker 1: if I fully trust that yet. Is your your plug

1114
00:56:49,640 --> 00:56:51,560
Speaker 1: and play running back week to week. No, they're not

1115
00:56:51,560 --> 00:56:54,399
Speaker 1: gonna lie in the running game. But this isn't gonna

1116
00:56:54,400 --> 00:56:56,799
Speaker 1: be a Percy Harvard situation. They know what to do

1117
00:56:56,840 --> 00:56:59,480
Speaker 1: with defensive players and the options that they have in

1118
00:56:59,560 --> 00:57:01,640
Speaker 1: terms of how they can line up Sheldon Richardson who

1119
00:57:01,680 --> 00:57:04,240
Speaker 1: can play inside it out, Michael Bennett who can play

1120
00:57:04,320 --> 00:57:07,080
Speaker 1: inside out, Frank Clark who can move around Cliff Ever,

1121
00:57:07,239 --> 00:57:10,160
Speaker 1: it's like Pete Carroll. I trust him to figure that out.

1122
00:57:10,200 --> 00:57:11,880
Speaker 1: And this is a great match up against a very

1123
00:57:11,960 --> 00:57:14,680
Speaker 1: good offensive line. But you gotta trust the Seahawks defense.

1124
00:57:15,080 --> 00:57:17,880
Speaker 1: Um one. One other thing to note about this game

1125
00:57:17,880 --> 00:57:20,920
Speaker 1: that the Seattle Seahawks are now also part of a

1126
00:57:21,000 --> 00:57:23,800
Speaker 1: greater national story that has nothing to do with this game.

1127
00:57:23,840 --> 00:57:28,000
Speaker 1: Michael Bennett uh was at the Big Fight in Vegas

1128
00:57:28,280 --> 00:57:31,520
Speaker 1: last week and there was an incident where there was

1129
00:57:32,360 --> 00:57:35,040
Speaker 1: understanding or a belief that there were gunshots at a club.

1130
00:57:35,120 --> 00:57:37,320
Speaker 1: He went running out of the club, got tackled by

1131
00:57:37,320 --> 00:57:40,760
Speaker 1: a police officer and cuffed and held against his will.

1132
00:57:40,880 --> 00:57:44,480
Speaker 1: He he called it racial profiling. A lot of support

1133
00:57:44,520 --> 00:57:46,760
Speaker 1: from around the league, players getting behind Benett and people

1134
00:57:46,800 --> 00:57:49,320
Speaker 1: in general, and the NFL even went as far Greg

1135
00:57:49,560 --> 00:57:52,120
Speaker 1: releasing a statement on the matter, which is shows you,

1136
00:57:52,560 --> 00:57:54,560
Speaker 1: uh tells you a lot of things, but really just

1137
00:57:54,680 --> 00:57:56,640
Speaker 1: what's going on in this country right now? How things

1138
00:57:56,840 --> 00:57:59,200
Speaker 1: There's so much attention right now in this country. And

1139
00:57:59,200 --> 00:58:01,560
Speaker 1: this is kind of a mike that the statement from

1140
00:58:01,680 --> 00:58:04,640
Speaker 1: Roger Goodell surprised me partly because you know, when Colin

1141
00:58:04,720 --> 00:58:08,880
Speaker 1: Kaepernick started his protest last year, there really wasn't a

1142
00:58:08,920 --> 00:58:11,720
Speaker 1: statement from the NFL, not against or in support. They

1143
00:58:11,760 --> 00:58:14,440
Speaker 1: kind of were letting it play out. And now I

1144
00:58:14,480 --> 00:58:17,080
Speaker 1: think that the police they kind of messed with the

1145
00:58:17,120 --> 00:58:18,760
Speaker 1: wrong you know, there's video of it. They messed with

1146
00:58:18,760 --> 00:58:21,680
Speaker 1: the wrong guy here because Michael Bennett was eloquent and

1147
00:58:21,720 --> 00:58:25,840
Speaker 1: emotional and and has really strong beliefs. It's like they

1148
00:58:26,280 --> 00:58:28,919
Speaker 1: messed with a guy like the wrong person in this case.

1149
00:58:29,000 --> 00:58:30,680
Speaker 1: And you give him a lot of credit for coming

1150
00:58:30,720 --> 00:58:32,680
Speaker 1: for and our country is in a completely different place

1151
00:58:32,720 --> 00:58:35,720
Speaker 1: than when Colin Kaepernick began that. I just think that

1152
00:58:35,760 --> 00:58:37,760
Speaker 1: it's all reaching ahead at this point. It's a great point.

1153
00:58:37,840 --> 00:58:41,680
Speaker 1: Bennett literally is the guy if you didn't want someone

1154
00:58:41,720 --> 00:58:44,120
Speaker 1: to be getting on you and making these statements like

1155
00:58:44,320 --> 00:58:46,439
Speaker 1: he is the voice, he has the platform, and he's

1156
00:58:46,680 --> 00:58:49,080
Speaker 1: always been kind of plugged in and woke as the

1157
00:58:49,120 --> 00:58:50,520
Speaker 1: kids say. That was the other thing I was told

1158
00:58:50,520 --> 00:58:54,840
Speaker 1: to say. So, if you use slang terminology that millennials use,

1159
00:58:55,400 --> 00:58:57,360
Speaker 1: you'll go up two points in your market. Are there

1160
00:58:57,360 --> 00:59:00,520
Speaker 1: more pop culture references coming now and into the show.

1161
00:59:00,600 --> 00:59:04,400
Speaker 1: The game is gonna be let now see now litt

1162
00:59:04,440 --> 00:59:08,120
Speaker 1: was on my list of words that are out. Let's

1163
00:59:08,160 --> 00:59:13,480
Speaker 1: keep let's keep moving. The Carolina Panthers UH travel to

1164
00:59:13,560 --> 00:59:17,640
Speaker 1: San Francisco to Faces were dreadful last season two and fourteen,

1165
00:59:17,840 --> 00:59:21,439
Speaker 1: But they have a new regime in town UH led

1166
00:59:21,480 --> 00:59:24,840
Speaker 1: by John Lynch of course, and Kyle Shanahan and a

1167
00:59:24,840 --> 00:59:27,240
Speaker 1: lot of people think they're ready to improve. The thing

1168
00:59:27,320 --> 00:59:29,520
Speaker 1: that I'm most excited to see Mark And we're gonna

1169
00:59:29,560 --> 00:59:32,000
Speaker 1: find out pretty quick. Does Cam Newton look like Cam

1170
00:59:32,000 --> 00:59:35,440
Speaker 1: Newton after his shoulder surgery? We don't know. We don't know.

1171
00:59:35,480 --> 00:59:38,080
Speaker 1: They don't know. I mean Ron Rivera has made it

1172
00:59:38,160 --> 00:59:40,200
Speaker 1: very clear he doesn't know. They do feel like that.

1173
00:59:40,280 --> 00:59:44,240
Speaker 1: He's looked better and better in practice, doesn't look limited anyway.

1174
00:59:44,480 --> 00:59:46,880
Speaker 1: You've got Christian McCaffrey on that team. Now, I think

1175
00:59:46,920 --> 00:59:49,640
Speaker 1: that's going to be a player that everyone's watching, you know,

1176
00:59:49,760 --> 00:59:52,800
Speaker 1: from beginning to end. On Sunday, I'm picking the Niners.

1177
00:59:52,880 --> 00:59:55,120
Speaker 1: Is my upset of the week? Is that a new

1178
00:59:55,160 --> 00:59:58,440
Speaker 1: segment to I don't know. It feels like something shotguned

1179
00:59:58,440 --> 01:00:01,439
Speaker 1: out of the but you got the Niners taken down

1180
01:00:01,440 --> 01:00:04,920
Speaker 1: the Panthers. Okay, that's an upset because it's people are

1181
01:00:04,960 --> 01:00:07,439
Speaker 1: excited greg about the Niners being an improved team this year,

1182
01:00:07,720 --> 01:00:09,760
Speaker 1: But knocking off the Panthers that would be an, I

1183
01:00:09,760 --> 01:00:12,720
Speaker 1: think statement. I think that would be a huge upset.

1184
01:00:13,520 --> 01:00:16,360
Speaker 1: And the forty Niners are gonna be dramatically better, and

1185
01:00:16,400 --> 01:00:20,480
Speaker 1: they would prove to me offensively that they are really

1186
01:00:20,520 --> 01:00:23,600
Speaker 1: different if they can move the ball against this Panthers defense.

1187
01:00:23,640 --> 01:00:25,000
Speaker 1: And I think people are kind of sleeping on this

1188
01:00:25,080 --> 01:00:27,080
Speaker 1: Panthers defense. They weren't even in the top twenty in

1189
01:00:27,080 --> 01:00:28,800
Speaker 1: the league last year. But if you look at the

1190
01:00:28,880 --> 01:00:32,400
Speaker 1: depth of the defensive end and the pass rushers in

1191
01:00:32,480 --> 01:00:34,440
Speaker 1: the line, and then you got Keith Lee and Davis

1192
01:00:34,520 --> 01:00:38,000
Speaker 1: and they love James Bradberry. They like Daryl Worley at cornerback.

1193
01:00:38,040 --> 01:00:41,680
Speaker 1: Like this, this is a sneaky upset pick for the

1194
01:00:41,800 --> 01:00:43,400
Speaker 1: best defense in the league. I don't think it is.

1195
01:00:43,440 --> 01:00:45,680
Speaker 1: But if you're looking for one that's not mentioned among

1196
01:00:45,720 --> 01:00:47,960
Speaker 1: the top three or four, usually the Panthers could be

1197
01:00:47,960 --> 01:00:49,280
Speaker 1: in that group. I think it's gonna be hard for

1198
01:00:49,280 --> 01:00:53,000
Speaker 1: the forty two things on the Panthers side. Also that

1199
01:00:53,720 --> 01:00:55,480
Speaker 1: first of all, I'm excited to see what kind of

1200
01:00:55,560 --> 01:00:58,640
Speaker 1: impact Christian McCaffrey has. Is his first game, you kind

1201
01:00:58,640 --> 01:01:00,360
Speaker 1: of get the feeling he's gonna be a meeting a

1202
01:01:00,360 --> 01:01:02,400
Speaker 1: big part of that offense. We'll find out. Is he

1203
01:01:02,480 --> 01:01:04,480
Speaker 1: a twenty touch of a game guy right out of

1204
01:01:04,480 --> 01:01:07,400
Speaker 1: the gate, and uh more like kind of fingers crossed.

1205
01:01:07,400 --> 01:01:10,200
Speaker 1: You want to hope that Luke Keickley h both this

1206
01:01:10,280 --> 01:01:12,640
Speaker 1: week and through the season, is gonna be okay because

1207
01:01:12,640 --> 01:01:15,760
Speaker 1: of the scary head injury related things that that are

1208
01:01:15,800 --> 01:01:17,560
Speaker 1: going on in his past. Is one of the best

1209
01:01:17,560 --> 01:01:20,080
Speaker 1: linebackers in the league, and you just hope he's able

1210
01:01:20,120 --> 01:01:21,720
Speaker 1: to make it through this game in the season, and

1211
01:01:21,720 --> 01:01:23,400
Speaker 1: he's going up against the guy who reminds me a

1212
01:01:23,440 --> 01:01:27,280
Speaker 1: little of him, Reuben Foster the forty Niners has that

1213
01:01:27,360 --> 01:01:30,720
Speaker 1: same sort of range and and just like love of

1214
01:01:30,760 --> 01:01:32,720
Speaker 1: the game that you can just flat and just jumps

1215
01:01:32,720 --> 01:01:34,720
Speaker 1: off the screen. Yeah, the Niners defense is stacked. I

1216
01:01:34,720 --> 01:01:36,880
Speaker 1: think that you're watching Brian Hoyer in the preseason. You

1217
01:01:36,920 --> 01:01:39,560
Speaker 1: see that he again works in Shanahan system, and he

1218
01:01:39,600 --> 01:01:42,120
Speaker 1: did in Cleveland first stretch and he does now. But

1219
01:01:42,320 --> 01:01:45,560
Speaker 1: every seventh or eight throw, there's always he's gonna give

1220
01:01:45,600 --> 01:01:49,560
Speaker 1: you two throws a game that are disastrous. Moving on

1221
01:01:52,480 --> 01:01:55,680
Speaker 1: Sunday Night football, Baby, the New York Giants travel to

1222
01:01:55,760 --> 01:02:00,000
Speaker 1: Dallas to face the Cowboys. Uh. Cowboys on thirteen and three.

1223
01:02:00,040 --> 01:02:02,800
Speaker 1: Last year, I don't think this has probably ever happened.

1224
01:02:02,800 --> 01:02:07,240
Speaker 1: They went, they had three losses, two to the same team.

1225
01:02:07,720 --> 01:02:10,800
Speaker 1: The Giants beat him twice last season. Uh, and now

1226
01:02:10,840 --> 01:02:14,080
Speaker 1: they get them again. And you know, I really I

1227
01:02:14,440 --> 01:02:16,560
Speaker 1: think this is a close game, Greg, I think this

1228
01:02:16,640 --> 01:02:19,520
Speaker 1: is gonna be I know this room sometimes gets down

1229
01:02:19,560 --> 01:02:21,640
Speaker 1: on how many Giants Cowboys games there are and probec

1230
01:02:21,800 --> 01:02:23,919
Speaker 1: especially in Week one. We've seen this week. Why don't

1231
01:02:24,680 --> 01:02:26,680
Speaker 1: always but you know what, at the end of the day,

1232
01:02:26,920 --> 01:02:29,480
Speaker 1: are they good games fun to watch? They almost always are,

1233
01:02:29,800 --> 01:02:31,880
Speaker 1: and I expect another close game, but I really want

1234
01:02:31,920 --> 01:02:34,200
Speaker 1: to make sure before I say, oh, the Giants have

1235
01:02:34,200 --> 01:02:36,000
Speaker 1: a chance and win this game. Is Odell Beckham playing

1236
01:02:36,200 --> 01:02:39,160
Speaker 1: because he hasn't practiced as of this podcast, and it's

1237
01:02:39,160 --> 01:02:41,400
Speaker 1: an ankle injury, and and it's a guy whose game

1238
01:02:41,480 --> 01:02:44,520
Speaker 1: is predicated on speed and quickness. If Beckham is not involved,

1239
01:02:44,560 --> 01:02:46,440
Speaker 1: I think the Cowboys take care of business, especially with

1240
01:02:46,480 --> 01:02:49,560
Speaker 1: Zeke Elliot playing, which he will. The sixth game. Suspension

1241
01:02:49,800 --> 01:02:54,200
Speaker 1: has been upheld on appeal but through the nature of

1242
01:02:54,240 --> 01:02:57,040
Speaker 1: the proceedings and this story is not over yet, but

1243
01:02:57,240 --> 01:02:59,400
Speaker 1: for now he gets to play in Week one. It's

1244
01:02:59,440 --> 01:03:03,920
Speaker 1: an incredible Bowl matchup to this Giants defense is talented

1245
01:03:04,000 --> 01:03:06,480
Speaker 1: enough to keep this game close whether they have Odell

1246
01:03:06,520 --> 01:03:08,320
Speaker 1: Beckham on the field or not. This is a more

1247
01:03:08,400 --> 01:03:11,080
Speaker 1: fun Giants team to watch than I can remember in

1248
01:03:11,080 --> 01:03:13,480
Speaker 1: a long time, because of that defense, because of JPP,

1249
01:03:13,600 --> 01:03:16,400
Speaker 1: because of Vernon, because of the secondary, and because I

1250
01:03:16,440 --> 01:03:18,560
Speaker 1: think Sterling, Shepard, Nevi and Ingram are gonna do some

1251
01:03:18,600 --> 01:03:21,640
Speaker 1: things offensively. So this isn't the same Giants team as

1252
01:03:21,640 --> 01:03:23,360
Speaker 1: the past, not the same matchup like this is about

1253
01:03:23,400 --> 01:03:25,240
Speaker 1: as good as it can get for a week one game.

1254
01:03:25,280 --> 01:03:26,960
Speaker 1: That's what I'm out. You know, it's tough. We tape

1255
01:03:26,960 --> 01:03:29,480
Speaker 1: some of the podcast during Sunday Football. I know what

1256
01:03:29,520 --> 01:03:32,400
Speaker 1: I don't know. This is one version of Giants Cowbuss

1257
01:03:34,960 --> 01:03:38,440
Speaker 1: game pass Giants Cowboys to me this time around. I

1258
01:03:38,440 --> 01:03:40,320
Speaker 1: I am excited for this one, and I think that

1259
01:03:40,320 --> 01:03:42,360
Speaker 1: you look would happened last year. It's not a fluke

1260
01:03:42,440 --> 01:03:47,280
Speaker 1: like the New York shut down. Does Bryant could be

1261
01:03:47,320 --> 01:03:49,120
Speaker 1: a new could be a new des Bryant though, or

1262
01:03:49,760 --> 01:03:51,840
Speaker 1: as Briant looks different. But I mean, I don't I

1263
01:03:51,880 --> 01:03:54,240
Speaker 1: think the Cowboys in a weird situation. You have Elliott

1264
01:03:54,280 --> 01:03:56,800
Speaker 1: this week, and then you don't know what's gonna happen

1265
01:03:56,880 --> 01:03:58,800
Speaker 1: next week, or what's gonna happen in general. I just

1266
01:03:58,880 --> 01:04:01,840
Speaker 1: I think Dallas going thirteen and three again is not

1267
01:04:02,120 --> 01:04:04,960
Speaker 1: going to happen. Something that wrote about this week on

1268
01:04:05,120 --> 01:04:08,720
Speaker 1: the old QB Index NFL dot com that is a

1269
01:04:08,760 --> 01:04:13,200
Speaker 1: little old, did the Dak? The Dak Prescott buzz is

1270
01:04:13,240 --> 01:04:17,280
Speaker 1: surprisingly low because Ezekie Elliott's the biggest stories. But in

1271
01:04:17,320 --> 01:04:20,000
Speaker 1: every time you mentioned Dak Prescott you mentioned, well, you

1272
01:04:20,040 --> 01:04:22,240
Speaker 1: know the offensive line, you know, oh, well, you know

1273
01:04:22,360 --> 01:04:25,640
Speaker 1: Zeke Elliott. It's like, no, he he had literally the

1274
01:04:25,640 --> 01:04:28,880
Speaker 1: greatest rookie quarterback season in NFL history. There's not even

1275
01:04:28,920 --> 01:04:34,080
Speaker 1: any comparison statistically Dan Marino if you adjust for the time, Okay,

1276
01:04:34,120 --> 01:04:36,160
Speaker 1: that that's in the mix. But in terms of stats,

1277
01:04:36,240 --> 01:04:38,240
Speaker 1: it was the best. He did some next level stuff.

1278
01:04:38,320 --> 01:04:40,960
Speaker 1: He scored eighteen fourth quarter points, going toe to toe

1279
01:04:40,960 --> 01:04:44,080
Speaker 1: with Aaron Rodgers. This guy, if he steps up, could

1280
01:04:44,080 --> 01:04:46,919
Speaker 1: be right there among the best quarterbacks in the league.

1281
01:04:46,960 --> 01:04:48,960
Speaker 1: And so that can make up for Zeke Elliott. Like

1282
01:04:49,080 --> 01:04:52,080
Speaker 1: I want to see, is this Dak Prescott gonna take

1283
01:04:52,120 --> 01:04:54,120
Speaker 1: it to another level? And this is about as tough

1284
01:04:54,120 --> 01:04:56,200
Speaker 1: a matchup as you're gonna guess. So, Darren McFadden looked

1285
01:04:56,200 --> 01:04:58,320
Speaker 1: great in the preseason, and when Dak was on the field,

1286
01:04:58,320 --> 01:05:01,320
Speaker 1: he was lights out. Greg is Dak Brestcott in m

1287
01:05:01,400 --> 01:05:06,280
Speaker 1: v P sleep Absolutely absolutely? Okay, moving on, So we're

1288
01:05:06,320 --> 01:05:08,640
Speaker 1: excited about this game and now the two Monday night games.

1289
01:05:08,640 --> 01:05:13,080
Speaker 1: This is the best Monday night doubleheader ever in my opinion. Uh, listen,

1290
01:05:13,160 --> 01:05:15,200
Speaker 1: let's calm down. Like there's been so many great options

1291
01:05:15,200 --> 01:05:17,000
Speaker 1: through the years, we've got like the forty Niners and

1292
01:05:17,080 --> 01:05:19,760
Speaker 1: Chris Berman in the last six years. It's true, there's

1293
01:05:19,800 --> 01:05:22,560
Speaker 1: been some Chris Berman this year, folks. There's been some

1294
01:05:22,680 --> 01:05:25,880
Speaker 1: dark days of the Raiders. One yes, didn't treat that.

1295
01:05:26,880 --> 01:05:30,120
Speaker 1: Second second. Both of these games are I think are

1296
01:05:30,160 --> 01:05:33,280
Speaker 1: gonna be competitive, good games. The first one the Saints

1297
01:05:33,360 --> 01:05:35,560
Speaker 1: at the Vikings. The Vikings are tough in their building.

1298
01:05:35,680 --> 01:05:38,400
Speaker 1: They had the third ranked defense in football last year. Well,

1299
01:05:38,400 --> 01:05:41,560
Speaker 1: what happens, folks, when a team in its building with

1300
01:05:41,600 --> 01:05:45,840
Speaker 1: a good defense faces the Saints, football's best offense statistically

1301
01:05:45,920 --> 01:05:49,760
Speaker 1: last year. I like it a strength against strength matchup, uh,

1302
01:05:49,800 --> 01:05:52,200
Speaker 1: and I like the Vikings chances. To be quite honest

1303
01:05:52,200 --> 01:05:56,240
Speaker 1: with you your thoughts, I I going Saints in this game.

1304
01:05:56,280 --> 01:05:59,240
Speaker 1: I I just not impressed with anything I saw from

1305
01:05:59,240 --> 01:06:02,840
Speaker 1: the Vikings to offensive line looked like a complete liability.

1306
01:06:02,880 --> 01:06:05,640
Speaker 1: And New Orleans, which I think it's easy for just

1307
01:06:05,680 --> 01:06:07,480
Speaker 1: assume that New Orleans is going to roll out another

1308
01:06:07,520 --> 01:06:11,200
Speaker 1: stink bomb defense. They actually look pretty improved on defense.

1309
01:06:11,240 --> 01:06:13,160
Speaker 1: And I six and O for the Vikings that start

1310
01:06:13,240 --> 01:06:15,480
Speaker 1: last year feels about a million years away. This is

1311
01:06:15,640 --> 01:06:17,959
Speaker 1: it's it's gonna be tough. You're you're on the road,

1312
01:06:18,400 --> 01:06:23,000
Speaker 1: You're playing five rookies in significant roles, four of them starters,

1313
01:06:23,080 --> 01:06:26,080
Speaker 1: including their left tackle Ryan Ramchek, Who's who's stepping in

1314
01:06:26,120 --> 01:06:29,040
Speaker 1: for an All Pro. Right Now, you've got Alvin Kamara.

1315
01:06:29,280 --> 01:06:31,520
Speaker 1: People are wondering what are they gonna do with Willie

1316
01:06:31,560 --> 01:06:34,120
Speaker 1: sneed suspend. It not a topic we've talked about on

1317
01:06:34,160 --> 01:06:36,560
Speaker 1: this show, but he's a valuable player. I think Kamara

1318
01:06:36,880 --> 01:06:39,760
Speaker 1: ends up being, uh, they're slot guy in some way.

1319
01:06:39,800 --> 01:06:42,360
Speaker 1: They move them out there with Peterson in the backfield

1320
01:06:42,680 --> 01:06:45,200
Speaker 1: and Mike Zimmer. There's just been a bad vibe about

1321
01:06:45,200 --> 01:06:48,080
Speaker 1: this Viking team. He hasn't been happy about the depth

1322
01:06:48,120 --> 01:06:50,960
Speaker 1: of their secondary and the defense, and you know he

1323
01:06:51,160 --> 01:06:54,400
Speaker 1: I just not really feeling the Vikings, whereas I'm feeling

1324
01:06:54,920 --> 01:06:57,600
Speaker 1: this Saints team. And that's why this isn't the same

1325
01:06:57,640 --> 01:06:59,840
Speaker 1: Saints defense, Dan. And that's I don't know if you

1326
01:06:59,880 --> 01:07:02,360
Speaker 1: know where I'm going with this yet, because I am thinking,

1327
01:07:02,480 --> 01:07:05,200
Speaker 1: even though it's on the road in Minnesota and you

1328
01:07:05,280 --> 01:07:08,200
Speaker 1: got your beautiful sunlight coming in, Oh, that's great, We're

1329
01:07:08,200 --> 01:07:10,200
Speaker 1: gonna have the super Bowl there. Well, your home team

1330
01:07:10,240 --> 01:07:12,120
Speaker 1: is not gonna be in that super Bowl because they're

1331
01:07:12,240 --> 01:07:15,160
Speaker 1: starting out and one because I'm gonna lock it up.

1332
01:07:17,600 --> 01:07:20,840
Speaker 1: See now Erica has got it. It's the tone, the inflection,

1333
01:07:20,920 --> 01:07:22,760
Speaker 1: the build of it. That's when you know that. You

1334
01:07:22,840 --> 01:07:26,680
Speaker 1: hover it over the vault, all right, Greg, locked it up? Road,

1335
01:07:26,720 --> 01:07:32,080
Speaker 1: lock updown a road underdog lock up. Here's here's a

1336
01:07:32,240 --> 01:07:34,440
Speaker 1: it's a it's a gutsy lock up. The onions are hanging,

1337
01:07:35,400 --> 01:07:38,880
Speaker 1: but part of it you blocked me. As always, Greg,

1338
01:07:39,520 --> 01:07:42,600
Speaker 1: your excitement about the Saints is is definitely tied to

1339
01:07:43,200 --> 01:07:46,320
Speaker 1: and we all have it. There's nostalgia within us, the

1340
01:07:46,320 --> 01:07:48,880
Speaker 1: this longing to go back to a more innocent time

1341
01:07:49,240 --> 01:07:53,600
Speaker 1: before kids, before wife, before the bills and responsibilities, when

1342
01:07:53,600 --> 01:07:56,520
Speaker 1: you were just free and you you were boozing and

1343
01:07:56,560 --> 01:07:58,360
Speaker 1: you were going to the clubs. There was a lot

1344
01:07:58,400 --> 01:08:00,560
Speaker 1: of things. There was pretty South wrap and you were

1345
01:08:00,600 --> 01:08:02,280
Speaker 1: hanging out with your best friend who would go on

1346
01:08:02,360 --> 01:08:04,520
Speaker 1: to become a famous comedian. It was just you and

1347
01:08:04,560 --> 01:08:07,400
Speaker 1: your boy Tony gentle Nick, just friends hanging out of

1348
01:08:07,440 --> 01:08:09,959
Speaker 1: two Lane. You want to go to the mess hall? Sure?

1349
01:08:10,080 --> 01:08:11,760
Speaker 1: After that, maybe we'll go to the gym, get a

1350
01:08:11,840 --> 01:08:15,920
Speaker 1: run in. Yeah, great times. Oh another party, Oh Saints football?

1351
01:08:16,200 --> 01:08:19,720
Speaker 1: Two Lane slaughter Like that's that's a lot of your

1352
01:08:19,760 --> 01:08:22,120
Speaker 1: Saints love is that need to go back in time,

1353
01:08:22,120 --> 01:08:24,479
Speaker 1: which is understandable. Well, I can tell you there was

1354
01:08:24,560 --> 01:08:26,040
Speaker 1: not a lot of it. There was not a lot

1355
01:08:26,080 --> 01:08:28,320
Speaker 1: of innocence. There was no innocent. It's a lot more

1356
01:08:28,360 --> 01:08:31,519
Speaker 1: innocent now. I brought the kids to you know, kindergarten preschool.

1357
01:08:31,600 --> 01:08:33,680
Speaker 1: That's innocent. There wasn't a lot of mess hall, and

1358
01:08:33,680 --> 01:08:35,439
Speaker 1: there definitely wasn't a lot of going to the gym

1359
01:08:36,080 --> 01:08:38,479
Speaker 1: mess hall. Greg Wants claimed that he's never been to

1360
01:08:38,560 --> 01:08:41,320
Speaker 1: a gym, correct, right, And you've never been to a gym.

1361
01:08:41,400 --> 01:08:44,519
Speaker 1: I've never I've never lifted weights, alright, So yeah, I

1362
01:08:44,520 --> 01:08:46,080
Speaker 1: have men at a gym. I've never gone worked out

1363
01:08:46,080 --> 01:08:48,920
Speaker 1: at a gym like that. Finally, the final game of

1364
01:08:48,960 --> 01:08:52,160
Speaker 1: the week. It is a ten twenty pm Eastern start.

1365
01:08:52,600 --> 01:08:56,120
Speaker 1: Keith Kansas is retired now, so maybe he'll he'll stay

1366
01:08:56,200 --> 01:08:58,000
Speaker 1: up for it. But that's a tough ask for everyone

1367
01:08:58,040 --> 01:09:00,400
Speaker 1: on the East Coast for a game that's an end

1368
01:09:01,000 --> 01:09:02,559
Speaker 1: like one thirty in the morning. But that's the way

1369
01:09:02,560 --> 01:09:05,000
Speaker 1: the schedule is in week one. Uh, no one's ever

1370
01:09:05,040 --> 01:09:06,559
Speaker 1: explained to me why we do this, but it's just

1371
01:09:06,600 --> 01:09:09,160
Speaker 1: the way it's done. So the Chargers go to Denver

1372
01:09:09,280 --> 01:09:12,120
Speaker 1: to face the Broncos, and by the way, Keith Hansas

1373
01:09:12,240 --> 01:09:15,160
Speaker 1: will be back in Week one sharing his thoughts about

1374
01:09:15,160 --> 01:09:17,960
Speaker 1: the opener. He's gonna be doing the Lord's work this

1375
01:09:18,040 --> 01:09:21,360
Speaker 1: year this season, Yes he will. Um, Okay, let's talk

1376
01:09:21,400 --> 01:09:24,439
Speaker 1: about this game, Mark Sessler, the Chargers are your super

1377
01:09:24,479 --> 01:09:26,320
Speaker 1: Bowl pick in the a f C saw I assume

1378
01:09:26,360 --> 01:09:28,400
Speaker 1: you believe they'll get off to a hot start on

1379
01:09:28,439 --> 01:09:31,960
Speaker 1: the road at Mile High. Actually, what I picked them

1380
01:09:32,000 --> 01:09:33,760
Speaker 1: to do was to get into the playoffs is the

1381
01:09:33,760 --> 01:09:35,960
Speaker 1: a f C second wild Card and have a sort

1382
01:09:36,000 --> 01:09:38,200
Speaker 1: of a Cinderella trip from there to the super Bowl.

1383
01:09:38,479 --> 01:09:40,280
Speaker 1: I don't see them winning this game. I think it's

1384
01:09:40,320 --> 01:09:42,120
Speaker 1: I think when we when we've discussed this before on

1385
01:09:42,280 --> 01:09:45,400
Speaker 1: NFL Network show that this idea that Denver at home,

1386
01:09:45,439 --> 01:09:47,880
Speaker 1: one of the toughest places to play, is gonna lay

1387
01:09:47,920 --> 01:09:50,679
Speaker 1: down drop an egg in this opener. I don't see

1388
01:09:50,680 --> 01:09:52,640
Speaker 1: it happening. I think Denver is gonna take care of

1389
01:09:52,680 --> 01:09:56,000
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers this week because Philip Rivers has struggled against

1390
01:09:56,000 --> 01:09:57,800
Speaker 1: the Broncos more than any other team in the league

1391
01:09:58,920 --> 01:10:02,920
Speaker 1: had to moments last year against them, and it's a

1392
01:10:03,040 --> 01:10:06,240
Speaker 1: really good strength on strength matchup. If you think about

1393
01:10:06,560 --> 01:10:09,960
Speaker 1: the scale position guys of the Charges, which we talked about. Alright,

1394
01:10:10,000 --> 01:10:12,519
Speaker 1: Tyroy Williams, all right, Keenan Allen, all right, Hunter Henry.

1395
01:10:12,560 --> 01:10:15,439
Speaker 1: Let's let's do it against the best three cornerbacks, you know,

1396
01:10:15,479 --> 01:10:18,200
Speaker 1: maybe the best secondary in the league. That's about as

1397
01:10:18,280 --> 01:10:20,880
Speaker 1: prime time and matchup as you're gonna have. Um. I

1398
01:10:20,920 --> 01:10:24,960
Speaker 1: will share this nugget, mark Um that you know, people

1399
01:10:24,960 --> 01:10:27,920
Speaker 1: a one game, no big deal. You get off in

1400
01:10:27,960 --> 01:10:30,120
Speaker 1: Week one, you win, you lose your fine either way.

1401
01:10:30,560 --> 01:10:33,360
Speaker 1: History doesn't tell us that folks get off to a

1402
01:10:33,400 --> 01:10:35,000
Speaker 1: one or o start, you have a fifty three percent

1403
01:10:35,080 --> 01:10:38,200
Speaker 1: chance of making the playoffs. You lose that first game,

1404
01:10:38,240 --> 01:10:43,160
Speaker 1: mark chance, you're dead. And that's your super Bowl team.

1405
01:10:43,200 --> 01:10:44,840
Speaker 1: So I just want you to like think about that

1406
01:10:45,600 --> 01:10:47,559
Speaker 1: four point nine percent of the teams that lose Week

1407
01:10:47,600 --> 01:10:50,040
Speaker 1: one don't go to the playoffs in the last seven

1408
01:10:50,080 --> 01:10:52,679
Speaker 1: seasons of the NFL. I'm confident that they will write

1409
01:10:52,720 --> 01:10:55,680
Speaker 1: their own story. Did you pick them to beat the Giants? No?

1410
01:10:57,200 --> 01:10:59,920
Speaker 1: One to thirty eight overtime law double overtime loss in

1411
01:11:00,000 --> 01:11:04,840
Speaker 1: the longest game in NFL history. Uh, Because if you go,

1412
01:11:05,000 --> 01:11:06,960
Speaker 1: if you start owing one, you have a one point

1413
01:11:07,000 --> 01:11:09,439
Speaker 1: seven percent chance of winning the Super Bowl. How about

1414
01:11:09,439 --> 01:11:11,719
Speaker 1: when the Cowboys started oh in two with no Emmett

1415
01:11:11,760 --> 01:11:13,960
Speaker 1: Smith and they won the Super I mean, listen, Patriot,

1416
01:11:15,320 --> 01:11:18,599
Speaker 1: good teams figured out Joey Bosa and Melvin Ingram against

1417
01:11:18,600 --> 01:11:22,360
Speaker 1: that Bronco's offensive line is trouble. That is that is

1418
01:11:22,400 --> 01:11:24,280
Speaker 1: one reason I like the Chargers to go on the

1419
01:11:24,360 --> 01:11:27,360
Speaker 1: road and go win this. This is where the sentimental

1420
01:11:27,439 --> 01:11:31,639
Speaker 1: journey that Mark is on, that I'm on. That everyone

1421
01:11:31,640 --> 01:11:36,000
Speaker 1: should be joining the Philip Rivers final ride. Like, let's

1422
01:11:36,000 --> 01:11:38,600
Speaker 1: get him a ring ride. It's starting now, all right,

1423
01:11:38,640 --> 01:11:41,160
Speaker 1: how about my sentimental journey. I love the city of

1424
01:11:41,200 --> 01:11:43,639
Speaker 1: San Diego, and I don't want the first game where

1425
01:11:43,640 --> 01:11:45,559
Speaker 1: they don't get to have a team representing the league,

1426
01:11:46,040 --> 01:11:48,320
Speaker 1: you know, having a NFL representative anymore, to be some

1427
01:11:48,760 --> 01:11:51,560
Speaker 1: you know, glory boy win up at Mile High against

1428
01:11:51,600 --> 01:11:53,959
Speaker 1: a long time rival. That's why I'm picking the Broncos

1429
01:11:54,000 --> 01:11:57,000
Speaker 1: because I'm thinking about you people of San Diego. So

1430
01:11:57,080 --> 01:11:59,439
Speaker 1: you you've already feered away from what you did on

1431
01:11:59,479 --> 01:12:02,479
Speaker 1: our NFL never our presentation of this game. Maybe I

1432
01:12:02,479 --> 01:12:04,680
Speaker 1: don't know, I don't remember that one. I'm paying it

1433
01:12:05,200 --> 01:12:07,439
Speaker 1: that I picked the Chargers on. You absolutely did and

1434
01:12:07,479 --> 01:12:10,280
Speaker 1: then buried me for suggesting otherwise. So you've got all

1435
01:12:10,280 --> 01:12:13,280
Speaker 1: bases coming. It is to the coin game. In my opinion,

1436
01:12:13,600 --> 01:12:16,600
Speaker 1: Week one, Casey Hayter Word was talking about this on

1437
01:12:16,600 --> 01:12:19,000
Speaker 1: the radio with our guy Matt money Smith. Week one

1438
01:12:19,040 --> 01:12:21,360
Speaker 1: playing in mile high seventy snaps out of nowhere. That's

1439
01:12:21,360 --> 01:12:23,600
Speaker 1: a tough Week one assignment in general, to play the

1440
01:12:23,760 --> 01:12:26,200
Speaker 1: many snaps and to go to Denver, that's tough. All right.

1441
01:12:26,439 --> 01:12:28,439
Speaker 1: That's it for the Week one preview. Before we go

1442
01:12:28,560 --> 01:12:32,479
Speaker 1: real quick, we're gonna go around the horn. Is our

1443
01:12:32,520 --> 01:12:36,160
Speaker 1: fifth season together, boys, um, and now we're gonna lean

1444
01:12:36,160 --> 01:12:39,320
Speaker 1: on our wisdom of being plugged into the league as

1445
01:12:39,360 --> 01:12:42,280
Speaker 1: long as we have now and share one big thought

1446
01:12:42,400 --> 01:12:46,800
Speaker 1: as we enter mark get us going. I need to

1447
01:12:46,840 --> 01:12:50,160
Speaker 1: see total uprising in the a f C this year,

1448
01:12:50,680 --> 01:12:53,760
Speaker 1: a complete change. I feel like since we've been doing

1449
01:12:53,800 --> 01:12:56,720
Speaker 1: this show and for years previous to that, it is

1450
01:12:56,760 --> 01:12:59,920
Speaker 1: the same. This is league wide, but I'm focusing especially

1451
01:13:00,000 --> 01:13:02,280
Speaker 1: on the a f C. It's the same handful of

1452
01:13:02,320 --> 01:13:05,880
Speaker 1: teams insert one surprise team every season, and I am

1453
01:13:05,920 --> 01:13:10,040
Speaker 1: exhausted with the concept of the assumption and the knowledge

1454
01:13:10,080 --> 01:13:12,479
Speaker 1: that this thing just goes right to New England and

1455
01:13:12,520 --> 01:13:15,000
Speaker 1: an f C championship. I want to see a season

1456
01:13:15,000 --> 01:13:17,599
Speaker 1: that is different, with young teams that had already begun

1457
01:13:17,640 --> 01:13:21,599
Speaker 1: their team building process like Oakland and Tennessee absolutely paying

1458
01:13:21,640 --> 01:13:23,320
Speaker 1: off on some of that. And I want to see

1459
01:13:23,320 --> 01:13:26,200
Speaker 1: Tennessee host the a f C Championship game, a game

1460
01:13:26,240 --> 01:13:29,880
Speaker 1: with no New England Patriots team involved. Well you know

1461
01:13:30,560 --> 01:13:34,559
Speaker 1: how long? How long does the same cookie cutter scenario

1462
01:13:35,040 --> 01:13:38,200
Speaker 1: need to repeat itself? It becomes tiresome. It's healthy for

1463
01:13:38,240 --> 01:13:42,280
Speaker 1: the NFL to see some new teams rise up. I mean, yes,

1464
01:13:42,400 --> 01:13:44,120
Speaker 1: they've had new teams in the Super Bowl, but they

1465
01:13:44,120 --> 01:13:47,720
Speaker 1: have the same group year after year. We need what

1466
01:13:47,760 --> 01:13:50,160
Speaker 1: the Patriots were a long, long time ago in two

1467
01:13:50,240 --> 01:13:53,800
Speaker 1: thousand one. Uh that type of season, a team to

1468
01:13:53,880 --> 01:13:56,799
Speaker 1: rise up out of nowhere. I like it. Mark and Posty. Well,

1469
01:13:56,800 --> 01:13:59,760
Speaker 1: while I went off on that, little Jack said, I'm

1470
01:13:59,760 --> 01:14:03,160
Speaker 1: going to mute your mic, and she's excited about the

1471
01:14:03,160 --> 01:14:07,800
Speaker 1: amazing My one big thought, boys, um here it is

1472
01:14:08,640 --> 01:14:13,120
Speaker 1: I even prepared it. Okay, So running a franchise comes

1473
01:14:13,160 --> 01:14:17,200
Speaker 1: with responsibility. Alright, boys say boys a lot today. I

1474
01:14:17,200 --> 01:14:20,320
Speaker 1: don't know what that was. Slightly condescending and yesterday and yesterday,

1475
01:14:20,479 --> 01:14:23,040
Speaker 1: and so the greatest fundamental foul you could you could

1476
01:14:23,080 --> 01:14:26,240
Speaker 1: have is to steal hope from your fan base, to

1477
01:14:26,360 --> 01:14:28,320
Speaker 1: just remove it from the equation, you know. And the

1478
01:14:28,400 --> 01:14:31,680
Speaker 1: Jets have had twelve ten plus lost season since that's

1479
01:14:31,720 --> 01:14:33,680
Speaker 1: kind of when I started following the team, So I'm

1480
01:14:33,760 --> 01:14:37,400
Speaker 1: used to disappointment. And the Giants have been four Super

1481
01:14:37,439 --> 01:14:39,160
Speaker 1: Bowls and one three and that time. The Patriots have

1482
01:14:39,240 --> 01:14:42,040
Speaker 1: been to what eight since eighty nine and one five.

1483
01:14:43,160 --> 01:14:45,559
Speaker 1: So I've seen other teams close to the Jets thrive

1484
01:14:45,640 --> 01:14:48,519
Speaker 1: and that's always been disappointing. So you know, chronic but

1485
01:14:48,600 --> 01:14:52,560
Speaker 1: chronic disappointment is one thing hopelessness. And that's where the

1486
01:14:52,640 --> 01:14:55,120
Speaker 1: Jets are right now. That's where the forty niners were

1487
01:14:55,439 --> 01:14:58,120
Speaker 1: last year, the Browns as they were beginning that rebuild.

1488
01:14:58,640 --> 01:15:01,599
Speaker 1: That that that kills me. The Jim Tomsula, Chip Kelly

1489
01:15:01,720 --> 01:15:04,479
Speaker 1: Niners like uh. And the whole thing is you want

1490
01:15:04,479 --> 01:15:07,160
Speaker 1: to avoid one of the jobs I think of a

1491
01:15:07,240 --> 01:15:10,040
Speaker 1: front office and ownership is you want to avoid at

1492
01:15:10,040 --> 01:15:12,920
Speaker 1: all costs ever putting your fan base in the situation

1493
01:15:12,920 --> 01:15:17,000
Speaker 1: where it's Week one and you're just like checked out already.

1494
01:15:17,080 --> 01:15:19,840
Speaker 1: You almost it's almost as important to avoid putting your

1495
01:15:19,840 --> 01:15:22,040
Speaker 1: fans in that position as it is to really win

1496
01:15:22,080 --> 01:15:24,200
Speaker 1: a Lombardi. You just want to give the fans something.

1497
01:15:24,560 --> 01:15:28,000
Speaker 1: So this is just my my big thought. You never

1498
01:15:28,040 --> 01:15:31,120
Speaker 1: want to be a New York Jets fan right now.

1499
01:15:31,160 --> 01:15:33,680
Speaker 1: You never want any franchise and fan base have to

1500
01:15:33,720 --> 01:15:36,040
Speaker 1: go through this type of season, because that means you

1501
01:15:36,160 --> 01:15:39,000
Speaker 1: did something very wrong, and frankly, it's not fair. It's

1502
01:15:39,080 --> 01:15:42,240
Speaker 1: it's antithetical to what the NFL is. I think one

1503
01:15:42,280 --> 01:15:44,559
Speaker 1: of the reasons the NFL has done so well over

1504
01:15:44,640 --> 01:15:48,439
Speaker 1: the years is that more than any other sports, certainly

1505
01:15:48,439 --> 01:15:51,280
Speaker 1: more than like our British listeners who follow the Premier

1506
01:15:51,360 --> 01:15:53,120
Speaker 1: League and all that, it's like every team does feel

1507
01:15:53,160 --> 01:15:54,560
Speaker 1: like you have a chance. That's what they tried to

1508
01:15:54,600 --> 01:15:57,040
Speaker 1: build this league into. That's why they share the revenue

1509
01:15:57,040 --> 01:15:59,639
Speaker 1: and everything. And when some teams slipped through the cracks,

1510
01:16:00,240 --> 01:16:02,439
Speaker 1: it's a slip through the crack season. Do not be

1511
01:16:02,520 --> 01:16:04,120
Speaker 1: a team that slips through the crack. I talk with

1512
01:16:04,160 --> 01:16:06,719
Speaker 1: someone last year first story about team building, a league source,

1513
01:16:06,760 --> 01:16:10,439
Speaker 1: and he basically said, look, if you don't see major

1514
01:16:10,560 --> 01:16:13,479
Speaker 1: results by the end of year two of any specific rebuild,

1515
01:16:13,680 --> 01:16:16,439
Speaker 1: it's not the right rebuild. Now there are examples against that,

1516
01:16:16,520 --> 01:16:19,360
Speaker 1: but he's typically right, and so if you're the Jets,

1517
01:16:19,960 --> 01:16:22,840
Speaker 1: this needs to take hold very soon after this because

1518
01:16:22,840 --> 01:16:24,960
Speaker 1: it can't be endless dark night of the soul material.

1519
01:16:25,040 --> 01:16:27,240
Speaker 1: And that's it's for the Jets. It's year one of

1520
01:16:27,240 --> 01:16:29,439
Speaker 1: the rebuild in year three of the regime, which is

1521
01:16:29,520 --> 01:16:32,439
Speaker 1: very unusual, but that's the type of stuff the Jets do. Finally, Greg,

1522
01:16:32,880 --> 01:16:37,360
Speaker 1: the floor is yours. My final thought, as one big

1523
01:16:37,400 --> 01:16:42,280
Speaker 1: thought as we enter this season is I am so

1524
01:16:42,360 --> 01:16:46,280
Speaker 1: excited for football to be started. But in my heart

1525
01:16:46,560 --> 01:16:49,320
Speaker 1: it is tempered a little bit, and it's because we're

1526
01:16:49,320 --> 01:16:52,960
Speaker 1: not whole as a podcast yet. Chris Westling has not

1527
01:16:53,200 --> 01:16:56,000
Speaker 1: been with us, and I am so like our our

1528
01:16:56,040 --> 01:16:58,280
Speaker 1: podcast is not as good without Chris Westling. We we

1529
01:16:58,320 --> 01:17:01,280
Speaker 1: all know that he has such a big, big part

1530
01:17:01,280 --> 01:17:03,920
Speaker 1: of it and such a big part of my football

1531
01:17:04,840 --> 01:17:08,080
Speaker 1: life in general football work experience from Rhoda world to hear.

1532
01:17:08,439 --> 01:17:11,320
Speaker 1: And the great thing is he's through the worst of

1533
01:17:11,320 --> 01:17:13,120
Speaker 1: it and you guys, I believe you guys are gonna

1534
01:17:13,160 --> 01:17:17,400
Speaker 1: go watch the game, which is cool, Like it's all

1535
01:17:17,439 --> 01:17:20,080
Speaker 1: it's all good that he's past past the worst of it.

1536
01:17:20,160 --> 01:17:24,200
Speaker 1: But I'll feel like this season is fully a hole

1537
01:17:24,800 --> 01:17:27,680
Speaker 1: and started when when West is in here telling me

1538
01:17:27,760 --> 01:17:30,599
Speaker 1: I'm an idiot about something and we're previewing the games

1539
01:17:30,640 --> 01:17:32,720
Speaker 1: with him, so you know, we we miss him as

1540
01:17:32,760 --> 01:17:34,880
Speaker 1: this season starts. And the good thing is he will

1541
01:17:34,920 --> 01:17:37,160
Speaker 1: be back. He'll be back before we know it. Preach,

1542
01:17:37,240 --> 01:17:39,760
Speaker 1: preach very We can't wait for West's return, and I

1543
01:17:39,840 --> 01:17:42,720
Speaker 1: hope it's sooner rather than later. Okay, the next time

1544
01:17:42,760 --> 01:17:45,439
Speaker 1: you hear from us, it will be. And how exciting

1545
01:17:45,520 --> 01:17:49,000
Speaker 1: is this the flagship show on Sunday night. Uh, we'll

1546
01:17:49,000 --> 01:17:51,519
Speaker 1: tape it after after the game. It will go up,

1547
01:17:52,080 --> 01:17:55,000
Speaker 1: you know, hour or so after we finish up, and uh,

1548
01:17:55,200 --> 01:17:58,160
Speaker 1: that will go on for the entire season, twenty three weeks.

1549
01:17:58,200 --> 01:18:01,240
Speaker 1: I think it is Mark All told, long time, lots

1550
01:18:01,240 --> 01:18:04,040
Speaker 1: of football, only three weeks ahead of his market, just

1553
01:18:10,280 --> 01:18:13,760
