1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:06,240 Speaker 1: The Around the NFL podcast has been waiting all day 2 00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:12,480 Speaker 1: for Sunday night. From the Chris Westling podcast studio. It's 3 00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:17,919 Speaker 1: Around the NFL. One of my favorite francessa rants. The 4 00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:21,680 Speaker 1: song doesn't even make sense. Nobody's waiting around all day 5 00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:25,240 Speaker 1: for Sunday night. They're watching the football, already watching the football. 6 00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:31,080 Speaker 1: Back after this, it's a logical take. Dan hands is here, 7 00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:34,840 Speaker 1: Greg Rosenhal, Mark Sessler Heroes. It is the week five 8 00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:39,400 Speaker 1: flagship program, and so much to get into. Yes, Greg, 9 00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:41,760 Speaker 1: that's not just that gave me like a window and 10 00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:43,960 Speaker 1: when we're doing this show seven years from now and 11 00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,239 Speaker 1: that the start of the show becomes Dan's version of 12 00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:54,400 Speaker 1: just even and it's just like round Mark crag Dad. Yes, yes, yes, Greg. 13 00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:56,920 Speaker 1: It's it's fun to be together on a Sunday night. 14 00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:01,920 Speaker 1: And you know, I fell festive right now. I feel excited. 15 00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:05,360 Speaker 1: I told Mark before the show that he's wearing his 16 00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:07,520 Speaker 1: shirt that he's wearing on Sunday night. It's more like 17 00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:10,760 Speaker 1: a Friday night shirt. It's more like daddy's going out, 18 00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,720 Speaker 1: Daddy's geting behind the velvet ropes, and I think a 19 00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:18,039 Speaker 1: little festive, like a festive party boy. Mark it's it 20 00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:20,319 Speaker 1: could be a good thing tonight. Sure. I mean, what 21 00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:23,920 Speaker 1: is the difference between Sunday night and Friday night? If 22 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,840 Speaker 1: unless you make it a difference, I see no boundaries. Well, 23 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,600 Speaker 1: for viewers on YouTube, they can check mark out, you know, 24 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:31,840 Speaker 1: being the change he wants to see in men's fashion, 25 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:33,400 Speaker 1: and then right next to him, I look like it's 26 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:37,319 Speaker 1: Saturday morning and you are also the change that you 27 00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:39,080 Speaker 1: want to see in fashion.

Yeah, so good to know it is. 31 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:52,840 Speaker 1: Many games are played today. Our job today is to 32 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:57,200 Speaker 1: take you through them all, uh and explain why the 33 00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:00,840 Speaker 1: NFL is what it is at this moment in time 34 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:06,080 Speaker 1: week five, Uh, we had another um, big time, big 35 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,080 Speaker 1: time fun game in London, so I feel like, why 36 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:11,320 Speaker 1: don't we start there. Let's head we're back from England, 37 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,040 Speaker 1: but the NFL had more business to do, so let 38 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:17,480 Speaker 1: us head to the Hot Toddy where the Giants and 39 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:21,680 Speaker 1: Packers did battle Rogers in a shotgun set seven seconds 40 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:25,760 Speaker 1: to go Giants by five, Rogers back to throw spins 41 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:29,720 Speaker 1: away from pressure under pressure again, dances to it like 42 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,440 Speaker 1: now I get sick from behind and that's back and 43 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,480 Speaker 1: bubbles of football look covered by the Packers. But that 44 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,880 Speaker 1: is it. Ball game over. The New York Giants have 45 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:44,520 Speaker 1: come to London and rang the bell other Green Bay Packers. Two. 46 00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:53,040 Speaker 1: Bob Papa, what is this music? Turn this music off? 47 00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:56,960 Speaker 1: Justin Graver this is it's it's on, Bro, It's on 48 00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 1: in New York City. Turn this up my head first, 49 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,840 Speaker 1: the g Men, That was Bob Papa, w f an. 50 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,359 Speaker 1: The g Men got got by an Aaron Rodgers Hail 51 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 1: Mary in the two thousand and sixteen playoffs. But these Giants, 52 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 1: Brian Dables June aren't about that life. Rogers got crushed 53 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:28,400 Speaker 1: from behind after our friend cave On Thibodeaux flushed him 54 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:30,639 Speaker 1: out of the pocket and playing well the last couple 55 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 1: of weeks, and the quarterback was unable to unleash that prayer, 56 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 1: the sack and fumble the clincher and two comeback victory 57 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 1: for New York. At as I said, the big tot 58 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:49,800 Speaker 1: in London, um Greg this game again. The Giants who 59 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:54,160 Speaker 1: we see maybe not talent poor, but probably closer to 60 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 1: talent poor than talent rich. But week after week they 61 00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 1: hang against their opponents, and in this they scored seventeen 62 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 1: on answered points to stun the Packers in a building 63 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 1: filled with Packer fans on the other side of the world. 64 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:11,280 Speaker 1: They scored on five straight drives uh to win the game, 65 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 1: and they held Aaron Rodgers to only two drives before 66 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:18,599 Speaker 1: he got them in the second half before he got 67 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 1: the ball needing to get a touchdown to tie a 68 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,279 Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter. That's complimentary football. I can't believe 69 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 1: how well coached this team is because they are talent 70 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:31,599 Speaker 1: poor on both sides and they're injured to like Leonard 71 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 1: Williams not in this game of Dori Jackson, easily their 72 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,240 Speaker 1: best quarterback, left in the middle of this game. UH. 73 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 1: Aaron Robinson, their other starting quarterback, didn't even play in 74 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 1: this game. Olari has barely played all year, and yet 75 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:43,760 Speaker 1: they're sticking to what they want to do on defense, 76 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 1: which is blitz. On the two biggest snaps of the year, 77 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 1: they blitz Aaron Rodgers right on the goal line end 78 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 1: up deflecting both of those passes on the on the 79 00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,280 Speaker 1: drive in the fourth quarter before they tried to set 80 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:58,160 Speaker 1: up for the hail Mary and the offense is grinding 81 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 1: down opponents with the running game, and that takes a 82 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,559 Speaker 1: little pressure off of the defense. You short in games 83 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,280 Speaker 1: when you're not as talent rich and you have good coaching, 84 00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:09,200 Speaker 1: and that's how they did this. I'm amazed they won 85 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:11,279 Speaker 1: this game. I I the New York Giants to me 86 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 1: under Brian Dable, We're looking at a couple of teams 87 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:16,599 Speaker 1: out there with coaches in year three, year four, and 88 00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,160 Speaker 1: you're waiting to see it and it's not happening. I mean, 89 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,160 Speaker 1: we'll see what happens with this Giants team, but there 90 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 1: is an absolutely electric difference to who they are, how 91 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 1: well they're coached, and they at one point their offense 92 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 1: with all the injuries was Sae Kwon. Barkley sheld for 93 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,719 Speaker 1: part of this game, puts together three drives of eleven 94 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:38,159 Speaker 1: plus plays, long clock chewing drives that they were panning 95 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:41,480 Speaker 1: to Packers players sitting there winded, and I really think 96 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,600 Speaker 1: they broke the Packers in this game to some degree. 97 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,479 Speaker 1: And you know, they're flashing at Daniel Jones with his 98 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 1: hand bloodied, and I know Daniel Jones is not a 99 00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 1: perfect quarterback, but he kind of just fits what they're doing. 100 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,480 Speaker 1: Right now, and he made some Keith throws in this thing. 101 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:55,719 Speaker 1: And I love the way that they play because I 102 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:57,720 Speaker 1: know I get ripped for sometimes saying I want these 103 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 1: games to be short. What I really want risk well 104 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,360 Speaker 1: what Sessler decimated. I love the way they play because 105 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,600 Speaker 1: I like drives that are long and they just basically 106 00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 1: take a defense and puts them into a fla with 107 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 1: people ripping. Basically, this wasn't even a short game. It 108 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,159 Speaker 1: was a totally normal but the way that they the 109 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:20,479 Speaker 1: way that they they did, like the way they played, 110 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:22,760 Speaker 1: and I really think that Brian Dable is proving and 111 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,560 Speaker 1: wing Martin deal that like whatever like parts they have 112 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:27,760 Speaker 1: on the roster, they're gonna maximize him and his team 113 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 1: just simply believes in itself. I don't forget the past 114 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 1: regime when Giants fans, and I know many of them, 115 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:39,720 Speaker 1: I thought similarly positive thoughts about Joe Judge. Oh, I 116 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:41,279 Speaker 1: like the way this team is kind of a hard 117 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:45,080 Speaker 1: nosed team. People forget how quickly the worm turn there 118 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:48,320 Speaker 1: and everyone wanted Joe Judge out and he was out. 119 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:50,400 Speaker 1: But yeah, it does feel different right now with Dabel, 120 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,160 Speaker 1: they just seemed to come into games very well prepared, 121 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:56,839 Speaker 1: they have a game plan, they stick to it. And Barkley, 122 00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 1: even though his numbers don't jump out at you like Mark, 123 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,160 Speaker 1: he left this game with a shoulder injury. Uh disappears, 124 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 1: comes shooting out of the tunnel, as we're told by 125 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 1: Mark Sanchez, and immediately has a huge impact play scores 126 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,960 Speaker 1: the two years, the two yards, the touchdown run on 127 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 1: a direct snap to put them ahead and complete the comeback. 128 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 1: And for Green Bay, this is the second straight week, 129 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 1: um where I've been watching them and I'm waiting and 130 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,560 Speaker 1: waiting for the defense to make the big play, to 131 00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 1: get the big stop, to get the game under control, 132 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 1: and they can't do it. Here is what Matt Lafleur 133 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:34,760 Speaker 1: said about the effort of his team after the loss. 134 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:38,080 Speaker 1: Give New York all the credit. They out coached us, 135 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:41,080 Speaker 1: they outplayed us. They definitely wanted it more and it 136 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:43,160 Speaker 1: was the tail of two halves and they kicked our 137 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:45,160 Speaker 1: butt in the second half. And you can't do that 138 00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:49,800 Speaker 1: in this league. M You cannot couldn't get any deep 139 00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:54,680 Speaker 1: throws going over six. They've actually had plenty of explosive plays. 140 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,080 Speaker 1: They're just a weird team right now. But I think 141 00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:01,240 Speaker 1: their defense is soft and we came into the year 142 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:03,880 Speaker 1: thinking this is gonna be the best Packers defense. And 143 00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:06,480 Speaker 1: while it's loaded on paper, divide your Campbell not playing 144 00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 1: as well, Roswell Douglas, who had a killer penalty in 145 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:11,760 Speaker 1: this game, not playing as well as a year ago. 146 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:15,040 Speaker 1: Like on paper, they look great, and then in the 147 00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:17,000 Speaker 1: fourth quarter they feel like you can kind of push 148 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,160 Speaker 1: them around a little bit. Yeah, I agree with that, 149 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:23,520 Speaker 1: Um and I and I'll say this though, I'll say this, 150 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:27,320 Speaker 1: they missed Avante Adams and I know that's not breaking news, 151 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:30,559 Speaker 1: but there's so many moments in the last two weeks 152 00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:34,560 Speaker 1: even but especially in this game, where when they when 153 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 1: things get tight, all of a sudden, Rogers those a 154 00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:40,240 Speaker 1: perfectly placed slant that goes for thirty eight yards like 155 00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:42,560 Speaker 1: that big play to calm things down. And I know 156 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:44,920 Speaker 1: the offense is not the quote unquote problem right now, 157 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 1: but when you factor in the defense that is not 158 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,960 Speaker 1: bowing up to shut things down and then the offense 159 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,920 Speaker 1: not quite being where it needs to be, you're getting 160 00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,439 Speaker 1: these close games. And it worked out last week against 161 00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:58,839 Speaker 1: the Patriots in the third string quarterback, but it didn't 162 00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:01,199 Speaker 1: work out this week. And Greg said it, I mean 163 00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 1: Mark they said it. Aaron Rodgers said it last week. 164 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,439 Speaker 1: He said, the way we've been playing is not sustainable, 165 00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:08,960 Speaker 1: playing all these close games. And then they go to 166 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:10,679 Speaker 1: London and do the same thing again, but this time 167 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:13,680 Speaker 1: get beat right in a game that almost essentially said 168 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:15,680 Speaker 1: this is where the Giants journey ends in terms of 169 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:18,480 Speaker 1: being the fun, little flavorful three and one team, And 170 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:21,600 Speaker 1: it was the opposite, because this is team, this is 171 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:23,560 Speaker 1: a Packers team that does not play complete games. So 172 00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:25,680 Speaker 1: the coach said it. Today, Rogers has said it. There's 173 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,560 Speaker 1: been multiple cutaways with how frustrated he's not in a 174 00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:31,640 Speaker 1: place in his career where he wants to probably tutor 175 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,600 Speaker 1: a big group of young wide receivers because there's some 176 00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:37,000 Speaker 1: talent there. There's no doubt Romeo has been good, but 177 00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:39,440 Speaker 1: there's been these drops on some of these deep shots, 178 00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 1: and so they have not played a complete game. I 179 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,440 Speaker 1: can't think about one moment today when it was the 180 00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:47,640 Speaker 1: Giants tied it up. They had basically, whether you agree 181 00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:49,720 Speaker 1: with they or not, the momentum Patrick Clayban. But then 182 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:51,520 Speaker 1: the Packers go out and glay an egg, going to 183 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 1: three and out and they never really came back from that. 184 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,040 Speaker 1: And then the tip passes at the end against Daron 185 00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 1: Rodgers were the Giants defense stepping up, which they've not 186 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,000 Speaker 1: done in years. They're gonna be around now. I've had 187 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:02,880 Speaker 1: my doubts about this Giant team, and I still do 188 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:06,640 Speaker 1: long term before and one, and there's some pretty soft 189 00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:09,680 Speaker 1: spots on their schedule. They're gonna be a big part 190 00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:12,880 Speaker 1: of this season and we appreciate that. It does make 191 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:14,840 Speaker 1: it more fun. It seems like a great crowd. There 192 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:16,560 Speaker 1: are a lot of Packers fans, there are a lot 193 00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:19,720 Speaker 1: of Giants fans, and one fan of the Around the 194 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:22,520 Speaker 1: NFL podcast really made my day, Joseph Warley, trying to 195 00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:32,960 Speaker 1: get an answer to an important question. They asked table 196 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,840 Speaker 1: big spooner a little spoon as he's running off the field, Couch, 197 00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:40,679 Speaker 1: big spoon spoon you happen to see a separate table 198 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:44,440 Speaker 1: video of him running off It was it was. It 199 00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:47,200 Speaker 1: made me fired up. He was like getting the crowd 200 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:49,560 Speaker 1: going as he's going into the tunnel as if he 201 00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:51,000 Speaker 1: was like the best player on the team, and he 202 00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:53,880 Speaker 1: was going crazy. I love it just in terms of 203 00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:56,720 Speaker 1: context with people that don't know in the middle of 204 00:10:56,760 --> 00:11:00,080 Speaker 1: the summer, Cavon Thibodeau was in this very studio and 205 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:04,000 Speaker 1: Mark asked Cavon Thibodeau if Brian Dable was a front 206 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:08,080 Speaker 1: spoon or backspoon type of dude, and Cavon Thibodeau looked 207 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:09,800 Speaker 1: at Mark like he had an elbow growing out of 208 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:11,920 Speaker 1: his forehead. He did, And I mean, I still want 209 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,280 Speaker 1: the answer to that question. I think I know the 210 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:19,079 Speaker 1: answer proof, right, yeah, yeah, without proof. Nice job by 211 00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:22,440 Speaker 1: the Giants, the packers asking some questions. Now the Giants 212 00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:26,600 Speaker 1: have um got off to a uh four and one start. Now, 213 00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:29,400 Speaker 1: last time they were five and oh was two thousand nine. 214 00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:32,200 Speaker 1: I think that was the year that Flexico shot himself 215 00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:35,800 Speaker 1: in the leg at the club and everything went to hell. Um, 216 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:39,520 Speaker 1: could the Eagles? Could the Eagles improve the five and O? 217 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:44,360 Speaker 1: Here we go, prety three yard attempt? The ball is 218 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:46,280 Speaker 1: thought of, the kick is under way, and the kick 219 00:11:46,440 --> 00:12:03,600 Speaker 1: is Hey missed the the offssles hesitated missed the oh 220 00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:11,120 Speaker 1: you can't you can't miss that kick. Merril Reese with 221 00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:17,679 Speaker 1: the call, w I p the Cardinals after you know, 222 00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:23,600 Speaker 1: unfortunate situation with Kyler Murray sliding down feet first, think 223 00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:25,760 Speaker 1: he has a first down. It wasn't so after he 224 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,920 Speaker 1: spiked the ball. It was fourth down, so they had 225 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:30,840 Speaker 1: to bring out the kicker when they had a chance 226 00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:33,680 Speaker 1: to maybe go for the win. And then matt Amndola 227 00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:40,120 Speaker 1: pushes that thing wide right. Final score Eagles twenty, Cardinals seventeen. 228 00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:43,600 Speaker 1: The Eagles are five and oh for the first time 229 00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:46,720 Speaker 1: since two thousand four, when they won their first seven 230 00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:48,959 Speaker 1: games and finished thirteen and three, and I believe went 231 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:54,440 Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl. Um, all right, Mark, I know 232 00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:57,440 Speaker 1: you're feeling good because you locked up the Eagles. I 233 00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:59,240 Speaker 1: do feel good. And I was not the only one 234 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:03,959 Speaker 1: as did. He feels good too, But I could tell 235 00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:06,440 Speaker 1: you we're looking a little noivous in the second half 236 00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:09,040 Speaker 1: of this game. I was because this is sort of 237 00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:12,200 Speaker 1: with the Cardinals blueprint. You know, first four drives they 238 00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:14,640 Speaker 1: got like fifty yards. They look like they haven't practiced 239 00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:17,880 Speaker 1: all week. And the Eagles in reverse, have two out 240 00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:21,040 Speaker 1: of three drives that are long. Powerful. Their offensive lound 241 00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:24,080 Speaker 1: without Jordan's Milatta was controlling things and Jalen Hurts us 242 00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:26,520 Speaker 1: punching in two touchdowns from the one yard line, and 243 00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:29,480 Speaker 1: you thought, look at this Cardinals team, they're just missing um, 244 00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:33,600 Speaker 1: they're missing weapons. Kyler Murray through a terrible interception into 245 00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:36,080 Speaker 1: what was one on one covers with a safety waiting there. 246 00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:38,960 Speaker 1: Terrible throw, and it's sort of like the you get 247 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,520 Speaker 1: this every game, the bad version of the Cardinals for 248 00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:44,800 Speaker 1: typically two and a half quarters, if not three, then 249 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:46,360 Speaker 1: they come to life, and they did in this game. 250 00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:49,800 Speaker 1: I think there's something to pull from from a Cardinals 251 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:52,400 Speaker 1: angle on this. The ending was a disaster, but which 252 00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:55,280 Speaker 1: should be noted because it was tweeted by reporters at 253 00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:58,520 Speaker 1: the stadium that when Kyler Murray when he spiked that ball, 254 00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:02,160 Speaker 1: you know, thinking it was fourth and one, that it 255 00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:04,440 Speaker 1: was I think they had a first down. Was actually 256 00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:08,360 Speaker 1: fourth and one, but we we the stadium inside said 257 00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:09,760 Speaker 1: that he had a first down, so it was a 258 00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:13,240 Speaker 1: miscommunication for him. Like but still it's you have to 259 00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:18,000 Speaker 1: have more awareness that it's a little excuse. Well, it'll 260 00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:19,960 Speaker 1: be interesting, they'll ask him about it. We're taping this 261 00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:22,600 Speaker 1: too quickly, for all we know, that wasn't a factor. 262 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:25,480 Speaker 1: But I think exactly the right. I'm just saying, like, 263 00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:28,400 Speaker 1: if he looked up and he saw first down, that right, 264 00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:30,760 Speaker 1: I am giving him a pass for that. That and 265 00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:33,280 Speaker 1: that's if that happened to the road team. We'd say, 266 00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:36,080 Speaker 1: oh that's home cooking. It would be an outcry. But 267 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:40,760 Speaker 1: someone who works in the game production staff is dying 268 00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:43,760 Speaker 1: tonight in Arizona. I mean imagine being that guy right now. 269 00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:46,200 Speaker 1: That's said, though, like that's not the only instance in 270 00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:50,080 Speaker 1: this game or other weeks of the of Arizona looking discombobulated. 271 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 1: I mean, the one thing today though, I thought, if 272 00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:54,520 Speaker 1: you want to pull Hope from because you're gonna get 273 00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:57,560 Speaker 1: You're gonna get DeAndre Hopkins back. I thought the connection 274 00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:00,640 Speaker 1: between Kyler Murray and Hollywood Brown live up today and 275 00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:03,080 Speaker 1: it really shows promise for the future. Ron dial Moore 276 00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:05,560 Speaker 1: made a couple of big plays. You lost James Conner 277 00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:08,320 Speaker 1: and in came like they do have other parts on 278 00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:11,920 Speaker 1: this team. I do think, like you know exactly, like 279 00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:13,960 Speaker 1: it's something to build off of. And it's like this 280 00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:15,920 Speaker 1: was the part of the season where typically maybe their 281 00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:18,720 Speaker 1: years reversed, were like their end of the year collapse. 282 00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:21,360 Speaker 1: Is there start of the year collapse. But in general, 283 00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:24,400 Speaker 1: I don't know if I bought speaking, I'm not speaking 284 00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:27,160 Speaker 1: so because I've got to win this game, and that's 285 00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:29,760 Speaker 1: I don't care what the clock or the announcer said. Like, 286 00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:33,600 Speaker 1: don't make any excuses for Harper than that. You have 287 00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:37,120 Speaker 1: to know what the situation is. He didn't, we would 288 00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:39,560 Speaker 1: be Tom Brady would never do that, Like that's that's like, 289 00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:42,040 Speaker 1: that's the situation and he's like lost track of time 290 00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:49,960 Speaker 1: outs multi in like the situation. Like Cardinal's not a 291 00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,040 Speaker 1: great excuse for him at all. And I what I've 292 00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:53,600 Speaker 1: said was they've been doing this for two and a 293 00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:56,200 Speaker 1: half three quarters every week. It's not enough. Just like 294 00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:59,280 Speaker 1: this was just another thing in a long line with 295 00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:02,680 Speaker 1: this team, under this coaching staff and with this quarterback 296 00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:05,440 Speaker 1: where things don't work out the way they should because 297 00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:08,480 Speaker 1: things aren't tight enough. It's not a tight operation made 298 00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:11,280 Speaker 1: a better football team today to the Eagles, was talking 299 00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:13,720 Speaker 1: more about the this was the first game where Arizona 300 00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:16,960 Speaker 1: didn't fall down ten nothing all season because they fell 301 00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:20,480 Speaker 1: down ten three to the Panthers. Let the first that's 302 00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,640 Speaker 1: how they started the game. I just think if he 303 00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:26,960 Speaker 1: looked up and they said first it's not someone said 304 00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:28,720 Speaker 1: first down. They looked up and on the board it 305 00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:31,640 Speaker 1: says first that if he saw that, you could absolutely 306 00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:33,720 Speaker 1: see that being a factor and why you're spiking. And 307 00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:36,040 Speaker 1: it was a pretty unique play it was kind of 308 00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:38,720 Speaker 1: a brilliant play call. I thought by Cliff Kingsbury that 309 00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:42,400 Speaker 1: he didn't execute right. They called a quarterback run despite 310 00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:44,560 Speaker 1: not having any time out. But if you got the 311 00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:46,400 Speaker 1: first down, if he had dove head first or gotten 312 00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:50,080 Speaker 1: the actual first down part of the that's my point 313 00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:53,040 Speaker 1: of slide before the mark, he clearly could have gotten 314 00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:55,480 Speaker 1: it physically. The first part of the Kyler Murray thing. 315 00:16:56,720 --> 00:17:00,320 Speaker 1: Don't strong in this because it's like there just here 316 00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:06,560 Speaker 1: excuses the discombobulated, disorganized for three quarters a week. They're 317 00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:09,000 Speaker 1: a hot mess. But they've gotten a little bit better 318 00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:13,119 Speaker 1: on offense each week too. In defense, defense did a 319 00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:16,159 Speaker 1: good job today today. I agree with you guys. I 320 00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:18,880 Speaker 1: don't mean that. I just mean they've looked a little more. 321 00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:21,280 Speaker 1: They've looked a little more like an NFL team every year. 322 00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:23,639 Speaker 1: Now that said, they did come back. They make it 323 00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:28,240 Speaker 1: seventeen seventeen. Uh, it's fourth quarter. The Eagles get the ball, 324 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:31,080 Speaker 1: definitely the toughest situation that the Eagles have been in 325 00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:34,800 Speaker 1: all year, and the Eagles go on a cess lari 326 00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:39,119 Speaker 1: in seventeen play drive where it's almost all runs. But 327 00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:41,320 Speaker 1: the key play in that drive to me was third 328 00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:44,960 Speaker 1: and twelve. They've been blitzing Hurts all game. It's mostly 329 00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:48,000 Speaker 1: worked in good spots for the Cardinals. They blitz him 330 00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:51,359 Speaker 1: on third and twelve. He's totally under pressure, there's free 331 00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:53,720 Speaker 1: rushers and he hits Dallas got it for a first 332 00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:56,439 Speaker 1: down to go set up the game winning sequence. They 333 00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:58,000 Speaker 1: didn't end up punching it in, but it was a 334 00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:01,640 Speaker 1: big sequence where it got him another step I think 335 00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:03,760 Speaker 1: along the way for Jalen Hurts to deliver like that 336 00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:06,400 Speaker 1: in a fourth quarter. Yes, the Eagles five and all, 337 00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:08,600 Speaker 1: like I said, first time since two thousand fourteen, and 338 00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:12,359 Speaker 1: a huge showdown with the Cowboys next week. So a 339 00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:14,920 Speaker 1: lot of fun, all right. Let's uh, speaking of the Cowboys, 340 00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:17,360 Speaker 1: what a division in the NFC East is back. Let's 341 00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:23,400 Speaker 1: see what happened with the across the sidewalk at Sophi Stadium, 342 00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:25,160 Speaker 1: and they're gonna give the ball to Pollard. He bust 343 00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:27,359 Speaker 1: shock the middle, He broke the tackler right to the 344 00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:30,639 Speaker 1: forty chase from behind the thirty turns left at the 345 00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:34,240 Speaker 1: Tony to the ten to the five, and Pollard with 346 00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:40,440 Speaker 1: a house Talls touchdown. Tony Pollard fifty seven yards by 347 00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:46,040 Speaker 1: Pollard rad sham the sham god k R L D 348 00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:49,160 Speaker 1: with the call Tony Pollard is better than Zeke Elliott. 349 00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:54,840 Speaker 1: But whatever, let's stay positible. The Cowboys are winners of 350 00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:59,479 Speaker 1: fourth straight after he convincing win over the Rams, who 351 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:04,639 Speaker 1: are ending champions in name only, more like champions nailed 352 00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:08,119 Speaker 1: at Greg That is five straight defensive efforts from Dallas 353 00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:12,960 Speaker 1: that have ranged from great to dominant. I mean this 354 00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:15,639 Speaker 1: is right near the top for the Cowboys defense and 355 00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:19,280 Speaker 1: Michael Parsons. We've got a punchy Dan Hansas tonight. I 356 00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:22,760 Speaker 1: like that we had a punchy Parsons in the second half. 357 00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:25,960 Speaker 1: You know, he heard uh that there was a little 358 00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:27,639 Speaker 1: bit of a curse, the lt curse. He had had 359 00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:30,040 Speaker 1: a quiet couple of weeks ever since he you know, 360 00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:32,480 Speaker 1: got sick and he went to the Giants in the 361 00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:34,840 Speaker 1: Meadowlands and it's been a little banged up. And you 362 00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:37,119 Speaker 1: guys said he was Lawrence Taylor. And then there's a 363 00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:42,560 Speaker 1: voodoo curse Taylor, because nobody has more sacks in the 364 00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:45,720 Speaker 1: first twenty one games of his career than Michael Parsons, 365 00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:48,199 Speaker 1: no one in the history of the NFL. And tonight 366 00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:53,480 Speaker 1: was kind of a exactly tonight was kind of one 367 00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:56,560 Speaker 1: of those, uh like Lawrence Taylor type of games. Though 368 00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:59,640 Speaker 1: he comes out, he's limping, he's only playing on passing 369 00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:01,600 Speaker 1: down to in the second half. And he ended up 370 00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:04,199 Speaker 1: with nine pressures in this game, and I think they 371 00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:06,720 Speaker 1: almost all were in the second half. At least seven 372 00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:10,040 Speaker 1: or eight pressures in the second half to force fumbles. Uh. 373 00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:13,200 Speaker 1: He forced the holding, called a few tackles for lost 374 00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:17,320 Speaker 1: three quarterback hits like he was in the backfield basically 375 00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:20,000 Speaker 1: every play he was on the field in the second 376 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,239 Speaker 1: half of this game. And he made it much like 377 00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:25,840 Speaker 1: Monday Night for the Rams, impossible for them to run 378 00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:28,919 Speaker 1: an offense. Now, this is absolutely a Rams problem, but 379 00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:31,840 Speaker 1: it's also a anyone that plays the Cowboys problem, because 380 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:35,359 Speaker 1: even though Parsons had an epic game, uh, it's everyone 381 00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:37,919 Speaker 1: else on the offense, on the defensive line too early 382 00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:39,680 Speaker 1: in this game that made it tough for the Rams, 383 00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:42,760 Speaker 1: and they they are a problem well, and and I 384 00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:45,639 Speaker 1: mean Micah Parsons. Late in the game, I saw a 385 00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:48,679 Speaker 1: cutaway of him after a tackle where he's sort of 386 00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:50,720 Speaker 1: doing the thing a little kid would do when he's 387 00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:52,840 Speaker 1: trying to hold in having to go to number one 388 00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:55,000 Speaker 1: and it's like, oh wait, this guy is playing through 389 00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:58,919 Speaker 1: a terrible groin injury well well rereaking utter havoc on 390 00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:02,280 Speaker 1: Matthew standard in the medical staff said he's not at 391 00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:05,000 Speaker 1: risk of injuring it further, so that makes sense that 392 00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:07,240 Speaker 1: he was staying in and he's great. So he kept 393 00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:10,200 Speaker 1: making an impact. So you have the defense again, they've 394 00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:15,120 Speaker 1: given up one touchdown exactly in every game so far 395 00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:18,200 Speaker 1: this year. All five opponents have scored exactly one touchdown, 396 00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:21,760 Speaker 1: nothing more, nothing less. So you know what you're getting 397 00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:24,440 Speaker 1: from Dallas's d as long as they stay healthy and 398 00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:26,879 Speaker 1: this isn't a serious issue for Parsons hopefully and he 399 00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:29,720 Speaker 1: continues to dominate. That's going to be a big part 400 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:31,760 Speaker 1: of this. On the Ram side of it, you know, 401 00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:35,080 Speaker 1: this is really bad. This is it is. I remember 402 00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:37,120 Speaker 1: after like week two or three, Mark we talked about 403 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:39,520 Speaker 1: the Rams and I was like, you know, let's see 404 00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:41,359 Speaker 1: where they're at. Let's see once they get their footing. 405 00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:43,680 Speaker 1: And now it's I don't think it's too soon to 406 00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:46,640 Speaker 1: panic with the Rams because you take out take away 407 00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:49,000 Speaker 1: that Cooper Cup seventy five yard touchdown in this game, 408 00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:52,720 Speaker 1: and that's it. There is no juice to this offense. 409 00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:56,280 Speaker 1: Stafford looks old. He doesn't look and I'm not saying 410 00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:58,760 Speaker 1: he is old and he can't play anymore, but the 411 00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:01,800 Speaker 1: way things are moved being the way the offense looks 412 00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:05,120 Speaker 1: his inability. He's starting one touchdown pass and three games now, 413 00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:08,199 Speaker 1: and and the Rams are not getting anything on the 414 00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:11,200 Speaker 1: ground two and a half yards a carry on fifteen carries. 415 00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:14,240 Speaker 1: And as we know is everyone knows Allen Robinson is 416 00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:17,560 Speaker 1: not working out. Another very quiet game for him. Three 417 00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:20,800 Speaker 1: catches for twelve yards. So it's that feed keep pumping 418 00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:23,359 Speaker 1: it into Cooper Cup or else. Well, so their one 419 00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:25,720 Speaker 1: dimensional on that front because they also and I get 420 00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:28,600 Speaker 1: that we it's two and half the league or more 421 00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:30,480 Speaker 1: than that, don't care about running the ball. But like 422 00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:33,120 Speaker 1: there's zero balance to this offense. They the whole thing 423 00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:37,000 Speaker 1: channels essentially through Cooper Cup. There's massive protection issues. We 424 00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:38,920 Speaker 1: can look at what Joe Burrow and the Bengals did 425 00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,480 Speaker 1: with protection issues a year ago. That's a total aberration 426 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:44,359 Speaker 1: in the NFL. Matthew Stafford under duress the way that 427 00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:46,560 Speaker 1: he's been no matter what they've done with their line 428 00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:49,919 Speaker 1: combinations last week this week have been utter disasters. The 429 00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:52,199 Speaker 1: Buffalo game, which I was like ready to throw that 430 00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:54,239 Speaker 1: out because it just seems like maybe that's just not 431 00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:56,960 Speaker 1: you know, it's week one like that was an indicator 432 00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:59,399 Speaker 1: of what was to come their core issues. And I 433 00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:02,200 Speaker 1: know Sean mc vey is after they played the Panthers 434 00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:05,400 Speaker 1: next week, they've got to buy um. Is it a crisis. 435 00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:07,560 Speaker 1: I mean, teams have to work the way out of this, 436 00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:10,439 Speaker 1: but it is because Sean McVeigh has a week in 437 00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:12,399 Speaker 1: between each of these games to fix it, and nothing's 438 00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:14,960 Speaker 1: getting fixed. They they've played two of the best defenses 439 00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:16,960 Speaker 1: in the league in a row, but I think it's 440 00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:19,120 Speaker 1: fair to say they have a bottom five or six 441 00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:23,399 Speaker 1: offense right now. I mean, nothing's working. David Edwards, the 442 00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:26,480 Speaker 1: offensive linemen they were excited to get back this week 443 00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:30,919 Speaker 1: from a concussion, left this game with after being tested 444 00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:33,320 Speaker 1: for another concussion, which is very worrisome for him. And 445 00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:35,280 Speaker 1: when you have two in the short area like that, 446 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,200 Speaker 1: you know you usually not playing football for a long time. 447 00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:40,920 Speaker 1: But it's also some of their their regular starters, they're 448 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:44,200 Speaker 1: we're getting beat. I mean it was Havenstein was getting beat. 449 00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:48,439 Speaker 1: He's he's their best guy. And on defense, I asked 450 00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:50,800 Speaker 1: for them to step up and they did. I mean, 451 00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:53,280 Speaker 1: the defense gave up only fifteen points in this game, 452 00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:57,000 Speaker 1: and three of those were on a turnover that they 453 00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:59,359 Speaker 1: basically stopped and held up in the red zone. So 454 00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:01,959 Speaker 1: the defense did everything they could. They did give up 455 00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:04,600 Speaker 1: a couple plays. We listened to the Pollard play, but 456 00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:07,000 Speaker 1: I'm not going to kill the defense on a day 457 00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:11,600 Speaker 1: right when Rush barely got over a hundred yards. You 458 00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:13,480 Speaker 1: are playing Cooper Rush, who's played well, but it's a 459 00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:16,280 Speaker 1: backup quarterbacks. But they got pressured. They made a couple 460 00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:19,879 Speaker 1: of plays. Uh you mentioned the cup play for seventy 461 00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:21,639 Speaker 1: five yards to to at well, they was the other 462 00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:23,399 Speaker 1: one they took out the moth balls and and he 463 00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:26,600 Speaker 1: had a fifty four yard or But they're just very 464 00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:29,000 Speaker 1: limited right now. But I do think the fact they 465 00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:31,239 Speaker 1: played the Cowboys in the forty Niners is making this 466 00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:33,920 Speaker 1: seem even worse than than it is. But that said, 467 00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:35,880 Speaker 1: if we're they're going to go anywhere defending the Super 468 00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:38,119 Speaker 1: Bowl titles, like you're gonna probably meet the Niners and 469 00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:40,760 Speaker 1: the Cowboys again, they have to be a different team 470 00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:42,560 Speaker 1: in two runs than they are now. And I think 471 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,880 Speaker 1: they put potentially could be go check out, check out 472 00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:49,360 Speaker 1: the Rams maybe in November of last year and some 473 00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:51,160 Speaker 1: podcasts that we did when they were in a deep 474 00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:53,320 Speaker 1: funk back then, and you would have thought there'd be 475 00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:54,960 Speaker 1: no way they could get fixed. And then they win 476 00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:56,680 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. So it's not over for the Rams. 477 00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:59,120 Speaker 1: But I think this reason for concern. I just can't 478 00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:02,200 Speaker 1: see and I not watch anymore Ben squar Nick six 479 00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:06,440 Speaker 1: yards receptions. I think that's all their offensive for a 480 00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:08,320 Speaker 1: couple of weeks. But we need to get any six 481 00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:11,280 Speaker 1: yards of score Nick, six yards of square Nick, six 482 00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:13,760 Speaker 1: yards to score Nick, no more six yards to score 483 00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:18,000 Speaker 1: Nick Twitter favorite. I mean he is. He is absolutely 484 00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:21,480 Speaker 1: more valuable than Allen Robinson. Though I went to I 485 00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:23,560 Speaker 1: went to go look at Allen Robinson's contract. He has 486 00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:28,440 Speaker 1: guaranteed fifteen million dollars UH next year. The biggest moment 487 00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:33,160 Speaker 1: this offseason, granted there there were just just like there's 488 00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:36,080 Speaker 1: been some there's some crazy moves happened this offseason, but 489 00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:38,720 Speaker 1: just in terms of a sliding doors moment, Von Miller 490 00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:40,960 Speaker 1: taking that extra money from the Bills when they came 491 00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:44,680 Speaker 1: in hot at the very end, and the Rams than 492 00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:48,120 Speaker 1: pivoting and deciding to use that money on Alan Robinson 493 00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:53,280 Speaker 1: was a devastating was a devastating one to punch in 494 00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:58,119 Speaker 1: a row, all right, So we talked about the giants 495 00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:02,040 Speaker 1: that could be back for Eagles. Cowboys was perfect. This 496 00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:04,639 Speaker 1: is perfect because Cooper Rush had a hundred in two yards. 497 00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:07,200 Speaker 1: It's like, okay, let's bring that. It's it's time. But 498 00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:10,240 Speaker 1: even if if Cooper Rush never threw another pass, if 499 00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:13,720 Speaker 1: they ever won a ring, he should be first in 500 00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:18,520 Speaker 1: line with the quarterback who theory won the ring. Good 501 00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:21,560 Speaker 1: to have a great defense. It's good to have Nick Shook. 502 00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:24,680 Speaker 1: Let's get to our next game. Josh handles it back, ConTroll, 503 00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:28,000 Speaker 1: pocket collapstion. Fire's a deep one down field. But David 504 00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:31,600 Speaker 1: catch that good field. He's gonna salm into the end zone. 505 00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:38,359 Speaker 1: Cape Davis at the touchdown, Holy Mackerel, Maggie eight yards touchdown. 506 00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:41,800 Speaker 1: Dave Davis on third and ten at throw too. That's 507 00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:44,879 Speaker 1: the way to start, Holy Mackerel. It's good to have 508 00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:49,639 Speaker 1: a gave Davis. John Murphy with the call w g R. 509 00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:53,479 Speaker 1: That is game. That's that gave Davis. Nice to see you, buddy, 510 00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:56,280 Speaker 1: facing a third in ten backed up in his own 511 00:26:56,320 --> 00:27:01,000 Speaker 1: two first drive the game, Josh Allen and deep Davis 512 00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:03,560 Speaker 1: caught it in stride yards to the house. He added 513 00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:07,399 Speaker 1: another long touchdown in the second quarter, and the route 514 00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:12,400 Speaker 1: was on final score thirty eight Bills threes stealers. How 515 00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:16,360 Speaker 1: far the Pittsburgh football team has fallen in Western New York. 516 00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:21,760 Speaker 1: Shookye here he is, our buddy, Shook. The Bills are 517 00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:25,560 Speaker 1: in full flight, and it's a breathtaking watch. Sure, sure 518 00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:27,840 Speaker 1: is breathtaking, especially when you see them on their own 519 00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:30,520 Speaker 1: two yard line to start the game. And then there 520 00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:33,520 Speaker 1: goes Gabe Davis down the middle of the field, streaking 521 00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:36,800 Speaker 1: down the field. Josh Allen delivers a beautiful pass to him. 522 00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:40,600 Speaker 1: Yards later they're on the board, and that was just 523 00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:44,280 Speaker 1: the start they were operating. I explained that though, why 524 00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:50,400 Speaker 1: you're saying it again? Though wonderful And Dan's rainer. Dan's 525 00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:53,560 Speaker 1: a little punchy. Nick doesn't know, but Dan's a little punchy. 526 00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:56,800 Speaker 1: And if ever the Pipe has to worry about Dan 527 00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:58,520 Speaker 1: coming at him, it's tonight. I don't think the Pipe 528 00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:01,320 Speaker 1: ever has to worry about they are really anyone else 529 00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:04,880 Speaker 1: connected to the NFL media group Pipe, Yes, but that 530 00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:08,800 Speaker 1: was even more impressive. Pipe was that, Uh he's cutting 531 00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:12,040 Speaker 1: that throw, that spiral through twenty mile per hour gusting winds. 532 00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:15,359 Speaker 1: But that's just what Josh Allen and the Bills offense 533 00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:17,159 Speaker 1: is able to do with that. Others can. Yeah, you 534 00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:18,840 Speaker 1: never would have been able to tell by the statistics 535 00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:21,040 Speaker 1: for hund In twenty four yards passing for Josh Allen, 536 00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:24,240 Speaker 1: the Wizard percentage not totally up there, thirty one overall, 537 00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:25,960 Speaker 1: but it didn't matter. They were just flinging it around 538 00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:27,600 Speaker 1: the field all afternoon. I don't know if it's a 539 00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:30,600 Speaker 1: lack of fear in the Steelers defense, which is basically 540 00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:33,560 Speaker 1: toothless without J. J. Watt rushing the pass, or if 541 00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:35,359 Speaker 1: they just felt, you know, let's let's throw it around 542 00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:37,240 Speaker 1: the yard and see what happens. They found a ton 543 00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:39,280 Speaker 1: of success. They didn't know. It didn't matter who he 544 00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:42,440 Speaker 1: went to. He was great with Stefon Diggs. Khalil Shakir 545 00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:44,440 Speaker 1: got his first career touched down today, three catches for 546 00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:46,920 Speaker 1: seventy five yards. No matter where they went, it worked 547 00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:49,719 Speaker 1: to perfection. This is the Bills at their peak. This 548 00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:51,600 Speaker 1: is what we expect from them. Offense will be on 549 00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:54,440 Speaker 1: a week by week basis. And you know, again, like 550 00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:57,120 Speaker 1: like I said, against this Pittsburgh defense. You know, they 551 00:28:57,160 --> 00:28:58,960 Speaker 1: really took advantage. I'm kind of worried about where the 552 00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:01,200 Speaker 1: Steelers are defensively right now, more than I was even 553 00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:05,880 Speaker 1: weeks before. Shookie Alan threw for in the first half, 554 00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:07,960 Speaker 1: and this is I know t J Watts out and 555 00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:10,800 Speaker 1: they're now o and eight in games where what misses 556 00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:14,200 Speaker 1: with injury, so you can't you can't not factor that in. 557 00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:16,640 Speaker 1: I know Micky Fitzpatrick was also banged up in this game, 558 00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:19,000 Speaker 1: but let's hear from Mike Tomlin. This is the worst 559 00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:21,960 Speaker 1: worst loss of the Mike Tomlin era, just and it's 560 00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:26,280 Speaker 1: just more evidence of how different things are now post 561 00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:29,080 Speaker 1: been post a lot of things at one and four, 562 00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:33,239 Speaker 1: satisfied with the effort. We just got smashed. Like what 563 00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:36,840 Speaker 1: are we talking about here, guys? And if you're watching 564 00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:40,720 Speaker 1: on on YouTube or the NFL channel, you see the 565 00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:44,560 Speaker 1: intensity um in Tomlin's eyes. This this is this was 566 00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:48,120 Speaker 1: a non competitive game that was over really boys from 567 00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:50,560 Speaker 1: the jump on the ninety eight yard touchdown and never 568 00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:52,360 Speaker 1: it never felt like a real game. I mean, shook. 569 00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:55,800 Speaker 1: It's a tough spot obviously for Kenny Pickett. The minute 570 00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:57,520 Speaker 1: that they named him the starter, you kind of look 571 00:29:57,560 --> 00:30:00,240 Speaker 1: at their schedule. I thought, this Bill's defense in this whole, 572 00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:02,800 Speaker 1: since situation is gonna be rough. I mean, how did 573 00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:04,360 Speaker 1: he look to you? I thought, at least what I 574 00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:06,640 Speaker 1: liked about him, there's a couple of moments where he 575 00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:08,560 Speaker 1: took that one hit where they threw him to the 576 00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:10,160 Speaker 1: ground and like it's leg bent and he got up 577 00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:12,440 Speaker 1: and just like this guy, this guy is like not 578 00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:14,800 Speaker 1: gonna take it sitting down. I think there's a that's 579 00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:16,240 Speaker 1: what I kind of love him about his character, and 580 00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:18,520 Speaker 1: it's kind of fire. Yeah. It reminded me of Joe 581 00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:21,400 Speaker 1: burrows week two Thursday Night performance in his rookie year 582 00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:23,560 Speaker 1: against the Browns in which they dropped him back and 583 00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:25,960 Speaker 1: threw the ball over fifty times. They dropped Kenny pick 584 00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:27,800 Speaker 1: it back and through the ball fifty two times. Today, 585 00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:30,560 Speaker 1: it's really speaks to the fact that their offensive line 586 00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:32,600 Speaker 1: is still not walking well enough to run the ball consistently. 587 00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:35,160 Speaker 1: The running game is non existent again, and they also 588 00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:37,080 Speaker 1: dug themselves a big enough hole that they had to 589 00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:39,160 Speaker 1: throw the football. And yet you know, for the lack 590 00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:41,520 Speaker 1: of points, I thought Kenny did look good. That interception 591 00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:43,080 Speaker 1: was probably his worst throw of the day, but he 592 00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:47,560 Speaker 1: had some really nice connections, some near fantastic completions, uh 593 00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:49,320 Speaker 1: with with some of these receivers, so they just barely 594 00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:50,920 Speaker 1: got a foot out of bounds, that type of thing. 595 00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:52,480 Speaker 1: I like what I see from him. I think you 596 00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:54,280 Speaker 1: should be very encouraged by him. It's just the fact 597 00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:56,040 Speaker 1: that they didn't play good enough football as a team 598 00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:58,360 Speaker 1: to really show that off today. He's still way better 599 00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:00,400 Speaker 1: than Mr Bussie already. I'm just gonna out right now. 600 00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:02,440 Speaker 1: And Tony almost sent a lot of the broadcast raving, 601 00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:04,520 Speaker 1: you shouldn't be this good this early, you shouldn't be 602 00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:06,720 Speaker 1: this decisive. That's who Kenny Picket is two he was 603 00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:08,440 Speaker 1: in college, and I expect him to be that guy 604 00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:10,479 Speaker 1: going forward. It's just they need to have more balanced 605 00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:13,960 Speaker 1: offense to really show that all the spills defense is 606 00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,240 Speaker 1: a problem for the rest of the a f C exactly. 607 00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:18,520 Speaker 1: I think it's one of the most meaningful developments of 608 00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:20,800 Speaker 1: the first five weeks, because ultimately, the first five weeks, 609 00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:22,640 Speaker 1: what is it really going to tell us about who 610 00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:24,400 Speaker 1: wins the Super Bowl? But I think their defense is 611 00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:27,960 Speaker 1: even better than I expected despite injuries coming into the year, 612 00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:30,360 Speaker 1: and I think it's just gonna make it even tougher 613 00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:34,560 Speaker 1: to go there and win in the playoffs. All right, Shookie. 614 00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:38,000 Speaker 1: So the Bills keep rolling. They give zeus or something 615 00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:39,480 Speaker 1: to think about when it comes to the power ring 616 00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:41,440 Speaker 1: as they got him at number two, Like, you have 617 00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:43,880 Speaker 1: a lot to think about. Best team in football kind 618 00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:45,400 Speaker 1: of thing that I think. I don't want to be 619 00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:48,080 Speaker 1: disrespectful to the Eagles, but I think that's fine the 620 00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:50,240 Speaker 1: Eagles fans. I mean the way that you speak about 621 00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:52,080 Speaker 1: the Cardinals and with the fact that they came within 622 00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:54,600 Speaker 1: a kick of, you know, competing with the Eagles today, 623 00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:57,080 Speaker 1: I think you've had your answer and handed out lollipops 624 00:31:57,080 --> 00:32:02,640 Speaker 1: to the Cardinals today. No, what we were not? Hey, Chookie, 625 00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:04,960 Speaker 1: do you want to talk about the Browns mark we 626 00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:07,840 Speaker 1: were not. I'm annoyed by that take because it's not accurate. 627 00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:09,560 Speaker 1: This is you brought it back up. This is the 628 00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:12,120 Speaker 1: cross I bear, guys. I'm I'm bearing the Panthers cross 629 00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:14,080 Speaker 1: this year, and I'll bear the Browns cross. All right, 630 00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:17,040 Speaker 1: let's hit it. The highlights of Brown's Chargers locked down 631 00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:22,320 Speaker 1: to four snap, kick is up and it is no good, 632 00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:27,440 Speaker 1: no good. He pushed it right, yeah, money, the Chargers 633 00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:29,320 Speaker 1: are going to get out of here with a win, 634 00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:35,840 Speaker 1: and man, DJ, you want to talk about skin of 635 00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:38,959 Speaker 1: your differfessional DJ. I mean DJ worked for the Browns 636 00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:40,840 Speaker 1: and it didn't go great from what I recall. So 637 00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:48,440 Speaker 1: maybe there's the Ravens which is a more successful Just 638 00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:52,640 Speaker 1: laughing at the Matt, it's good to hear Matt money 639 00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:54,880 Speaker 1: Smith's voice today show. I just want to say that's 640 00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:58,200 Speaker 1: nice a friend. And Daniel Jeremiah with the called k 641 00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:03,040 Speaker 1: y s R. Brandon Staley Oh's Gate York of Beer. 642 00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:05,400 Speaker 1: The Browns kicker missed the fifty four yard field goal 643 00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:08,480 Speaker 1: of eleven seconds to play, allowing the Chargers to hold 644 00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:13,480 Speaker 1: on for a thirty eight win. That miss came after Staley, 645 00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:16,680 Speaker 1: the Chargers coach, who likes to play fast and loose, 646 00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:21,800 Speaker 1: went forward on fourth down UM near midfield, setting up 647 00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:24,040 Speaker 1: what would have been a crushing loss for the Chargers, 648 00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:27,400 Speaker 1: and Yet shook e uh, let me tee up Mark 649 00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:30,320 Speaker 1: on this one um. And yet Mark in the end 650 00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:33,440 Speaker 1: it worked out because the rookie sensation, who maybe I 651 00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:35,520 Speaker 1: shouldn't have put it in the kicker kicker club after 652 00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:38,440 Speaker 1: one week, as it's gone to his head. He can't 653 00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:39,920 Speaker 1: make the kick he missed two in this game and 654 00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:42,280 Speaker 1: the game they lost by two. Well, yeah, I mean 655 00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:44,680 Speaker 1: it's it's a lesson that you know what a kicker 656 00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:46,440 Speaker 1: does in week one and we've never seen before. There 657 00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:48,640 Speaker 1: might be rough times ahead, especially if you played for 658 00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:51,959 Speaker 1: a Browns team that looking at these first five games 659 00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:54,760 Speaker 1: and shook you. You're feeling this as much as anyone. 660 00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:58,680 Speaker 1: The inability to close some of these games where you had, 661 00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:01,200 Speaker 1: like for three and a off quarters. I see so 662 00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:03,920 Speaker 1: much that I like about this Browns team, especially with 663 00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:06,280 Speaker 1: Jacoby Prisette, who I never thought would do with what 664 00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:08,719 Speaker 1: he's done, play the way he has Nick Chubb looking 665 00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:11,200 Speaker 1: like Jim Brown, David a joke who looking like that 666 00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:13,480 Speaker 1: contract made some sense at this point. I mean the 667 00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:15,799 Speaker 1: defense I have major issues with, but they've had a 668 00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:18,160 Speaker 1: chance to go five and oh and they are a 669 00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:20,719 Speaker 1: mess record wise because they cannot figure out what to 670 00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:23,080 Speaker 1: do when it matters most. In the end, I think 671 00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:24,680 Speaker 1: that any time you put a game on a rookie 672 00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:27,600 Speaker 1: hicker shoulders, you're asking for trouble. But more importantly than anything, 673 00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:29,480 Speaker 1: it's the fact that their defense has not been able 674 00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:33,000 Speaker 1: to put together anything near complete or consistent game. It's 675 00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:34,719 Speaker 1: been bad against the past the first couple of weeks, 676 00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:36,400 Speaker 1: it was bad against the run, last week and this 677 00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:39,719 Speaker 1: week it was bad against everything. So no matter how 678 00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:41,600 Speaker 1: well this offense places, because this offense is putting a 679 00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:43,440 Speaker 1: good amount of points on the board with Jacoby Brissette, 680 00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:47,320 Speaker 1: who's playing above expectation. Anytime you have those breakdowns defensively 681 00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:50,000 Speaker 1: and they're ugly at times, very ugly, then you're always 682 00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:52,319 Speaker 1: gonna be in these close games. They've lost their three 683 00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:56,319 Speaker 1: losses this year combined margin six points. That's something that 684 00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:58,680 Speaker 1: a defense can change. Is just one or two more 685 00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:01,160 Speaker 1: stops per game you can in those games. So I 686 00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:03,000 Speaker 1: don't put it so much on Kad Yorkie. He missed 687 00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:04,719 Speaker 1: two field goals, he missed an extra point that opened 688 00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:06,360 Speaker 1: the door for the Jets to win that game too. 689 00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:09,680 Speaker 1: It's more about the fact that you cannot play consistent defense, 690 00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:11,400 Speaker 1: and it is embarrassing. It's to the point where I'm 691 00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:12,719 Speaker 1: watching now to see if they get rid of the 692 00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:15,359 Speaker 1: defensive cordin inter after only five weeks. Because it's that bad. 693 00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:18,319 Speaker 1: It continues to happen. It's terrible, and and that's why 694 00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:19,919 Speaker 1: they are where they are. They're an average team because 695 00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:22,040 Speaker 1: of it. Because Shook like, this is not a first 696 00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:24,480 Speaker 1: year coordinator with new players. This is like, these guys 697 00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:27,279 Speaker 1: should know what they're doing. Part of the part of 698 00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:29,719 Speaker 1: the reason the Jets get back in is because Denzel Ward, 699 00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:31,880 Speaker 1: who should be a top five cornerback from what we know, 700 00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:34,400 Speaker 1: give us up. He's get burned by Corey Davis. It's like, 701 00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:37,040 Speaker 1: what is going on with this defense? Because we've heard 702 00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:39,200 Speaker 1: would say, oh, we're gonna need to simplify things. I 703 00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:42,640 Speaker 1: don't like hearing that from a multi year simplifies a 704 00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:45,520 Speaker 1: bad sign. They seem like a dumb defense. They make 705 00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:48,240 Speaker 1: a lot of mistakes and there's a lot of confusion, 706 00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:51,319 Speaker 1: and they seem like an incredibly soft defense. I mean 707 00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:55,440 Speaker 1: the Falcons and last week and the Chargers had two 708 00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:58,319 Speaker 1: hundred and thirty eight yards rushing in this game. Going 709 00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:00,600 Speaker 1: into this game, they only had two hunder and fifty 710 00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:03,560 Speaker 1: eight yards rushing on the season. They almost topped that today. 711 00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:07,799 Speaker 1: So that's not good. And by the way, I see 712 00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:10,560 Speaker 1: you were trying to get on Staley. They're playing fast. 713 00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:13,319 Speaker 1: How about you trying to win the game. A couple 714 00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:15,880 Speaker 1: of times we've been asking for coaches to do that. Forever, 715 00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:18,440 Speaker 1: give the balls to your best player. And try to win. 716 00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:20,480 Speaker 1: And hey, baby, how about have two chances to win 717 00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:22,640 Speaker 1: the game, win on offense or went on defense. That's 718 00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:25,000 Speaker 1: why you do it, all right, I get it, And 719 00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:27,879 Speaker 1: to Staley's credit, he didn't back down after the game. 720 00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:30,520 Speaker 1: He said, We're willing to live with that decision. There 721 00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:32,440 Speaker 1: was no way I'm taking our offense off the field. 722 00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:35,239 Speaker 1: And Cleveland's defense thinks, okay, there's logic to it, but 723 00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:38,640 Speaker 1: I just think it was beyond you know, the Onions 724 00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:41,879 Speaker 1: put him in a wheelbarrow because you have a two 725 00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:44,799 Speaker 1: point lead your your own forty six. You're up by 726 00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:48,000 Speaker 1: two points, you take a time out, and then you 727 00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:50,680 Speaker 1: go for it. The Browns had seventy seconds and no 728 00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:54,360 Speaker 1: time outs. If you just execute on special teams, I 729 00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:56,479 Speaker 1: think you're in good shape. But I understand that side 730 00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:59,040 Speaker 1: of it. The numbers would say that's like one of 731 00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:00,560 Speaker 1: the clear No. I know, don't want to just go 732 00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:02,040 Speaker 1: off the numbers, but that would have been one of 733 00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:04,480 Speaker 1: the most clear decisions possible, like one of the worst 734 00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:06,880 Speaker 1: decisions of the week to kick it. And it's because 735 00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:08,799 Speaker 1: of the It's partly because of the lack of time outs, 736 00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:12,040 Speaker 1: because you can hope for your defense to stop them 737 00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:17,000 Speaker 1: still if you so the analytics, Oh yeah, it was 738 00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:20,680 Speaker 1: like a plus twelve percentage type of point because we 739 00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:22,759 Speaker 1: I think we agree and see all this business. But 740 00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:24,799 Speaker 1: like to me, it just felt in the moment a 741 00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:27,520 Speaker 1: little bit extra. Keenan Allen didn't like it. He was 742 00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:32,600 Speaker 1: watching on he what did he tweet here? Kild On? 743 00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:37,160 Speaker 1: He said, what doing? What are we doing? Exactly? Keenan Allen? 744 00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:40,080 Speaker 1: On my side, that guy is a stud? All right? Chook? 745 00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:42,880 Speaker 1: You any other thoughts? Uh? A game where the team's 746 00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:46,400 Speaker 1: combined for total yards fifty three first downs and your 747 00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:50,760 Speaker 1: boy Jake Brisket has thrown just three interceptions all season, 748 00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:55,640 Speaker 1: but man, he choosing and killer of all. Yeah, quite time. 749 00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:58,200 Speaker 1: The last three minutes of the game. Last three minutes 750 00:37:58,200 --> 00:37:59,720 Speaker 1: of game, he's throwing all. But you know what, I've 751 00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:02,440 Speaker 1: agree with Greg a lot in my life, including agreeing 752 00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:04,399 Speaker 1: with him on his decision to hire me way back 753 00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:06,360 Speaker 1: in two thousand fourteen. Was it great? I never agree 754 00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:09,200 Speaker 1: with him more than in this three minutes? Right? Yeah? Thanks, Nick, 755 00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:11,359 Speaker 1: let's get don't know where you're going with that, but 756 00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:13,040 Speaker 1: I like it. Well, we'll see if you see if 757 00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:17,479 Speaker 1: you're on the show next week, Nick alright, your Jets 758 00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:21,239 Speaker 1: are winning. I love it. I love you Nick and 759 00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:22,920 Speaker 1: I We'll see you next week, buddy. All right, guys, 760 00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:24,960 Speaker 1: all right, we'll take a break and then we will 761 00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:27,200 Speaker 1: get to those New York don't you go against those 762 00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:30,360 Speaker 1: analytics stand never. I wouldn't. I wouldn't, dare We'll be 763 00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:36,880 Speaker 1: right back to the swaps of Jersey play act. Thompson 764 00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:40,359 Speaker 1: looks down field under plus the football he was sick. 765 00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:43,840 Speaker 1: Let's set up by Williams. He's at the five yards 766 00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:48,640 Speaker 1: before he's brought down the Jets with a strip sack 767 00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:52,560 Speaker 1: and Williams hands up with him, looks to the first 768 00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:58,680 Speaker 1: thing called d hear that? Will you hear that? You 769 00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:04,239 Speaker 1: deserve it? Forty burger bongos, No, not just I deserve it. 770 00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:08,680 Speaker 1: Jets fans deserve that. You hear the buzz, hear the 771 00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:13,400 Speaker 1: buzz in the building a MetLife stadium. When Carl Lawson 772 00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:18,319 Speaker 1: ice is that game with the striped sack of the 773 00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:22,920 Speaker 1: third string quarterback of the Dolphins, whatever, Bobo shoosing with 774 00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:27,480 Speaker 1: the call, big play after big play. That was the 775 00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:30,960 Speaker 1: story in the fourth quarter between the Jets and Dolphins, 776 00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:33,440 Speaker 1: the Jets making all the big plays. Miami giving them 777 00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:38,520 Speaker 1: all up, and it ended with the Jets beat the Dolphins, 778 00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:40,960 Speaker 1: who were three and oh now three and two, and 779 00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:44,279 Speaker 1: as I said, you had uh to Ah didn't even 780 00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:47,600 Speaker 1: travel with the team. As he continues his recovery from 781 00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:52,800 Speaker 1: the concussion. Teddy Bridgewater steps in on the first series, 782 00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:57,560 Speaker 1: Sauce Gardner blitzes off the edge untouched Wax Bridgewater in 783 00:39:57,560 --> 00:40:01,240 Speaker 1: the end zone for a intentional grounding safe and Bridgewater 784 00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:03,840 Speaker 1: suffers an elbow injury, gets examined for a concussion. He 785 00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:07,960 Speaker 1: gets ruled out, so he is out. So Skyler Thompson, 786 00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:11,920 Speaker 1: who was a preseason star, steps in and he was fine. 787 00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:14,680 Speaker 1: I mean he wasn't. He wasn't lights out as you 788 00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:17,040 Speaker 1: wouldn't expect him to be. But he wasn't the reason 789 00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:21,440 Speaker 1: Miami losses game either in my opinion. Uh what happened 790 00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:24,120 Speaker 1: here was the Jets jumped out to a big lead 791 00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:27,760 Speaker 1: early and Miami gets things under control to the point 792 00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:30,560 Speaker 1: where early in the fourth quarter, they're lining up for 793 00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:33,360 Speaker 1: a field goal with a chance to go ahead, and 794 00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:35,399 Speaker 1: every Jets fan is thinking the same thing, I can't 795 00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:39,320 Speaker 1: believe we're gonna blow this game with this situation. To 796 00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:41,759 Speaker 1: run our Armstead also went out for the Dolphins early 797 00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:43,840 Speaker 1: in this game with a toe injury, their star left tackle, 798 00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:48,480 Speaker 1: and yet the field goals missed. And then with Breece 799 00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:52,080 Speaker 1: Hall leading the way, the Jets offense takes over and 800 00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:54,960 Speaker 1: then the defense gets the stops and all of a sudden, 801 00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:58,040 Speaker 1: like I said, Mark, there's juice around the Jets. I 802 00:40:58,080 --> 00:41:00,279 Speaker 1: don't know if they're frisky. I don't know if they're spice. See, 803 00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:04,720 Speaker 1: but they don't suck. They don't suck, and this is interesting. 804 00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:08,799 Speaker 1: Very they are certainly frisky. I think they are. Um, 805 00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:13,920 Speaker 1: you know, just over the hillside exists spicy go to 806 00:41:14,040 --> 00:41:18,560 Speaker 1: go to lambeau Field next week. The reason I think 807 00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:21,680 Speaker 1: they are because, like so, spicy is definitely better than frisky, 808 00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:23,560 Speaker 1: is what we're saying. It's a matter of opinion. I 809 00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:26,719 Speaker 1: tend to think you graduate from frisky to spicy. I 810 00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:28,560 Speaker 1: tend to agree with you. I think frisky is also 811 00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:31,760 Speaker 1: a mood that comes and goes spicy. If you're spicy, 812 00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:34,359 Speaker 1: you're just spicy. Spicy food stays spicy for the most part. 813 00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:42,319 Speaker 1: That's what there can you say spicy? Definitely, this team 814 00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:45,520 Speaker 1: has sucked wind for as long as we've been doing 815 00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:48,120 Speaker 1: the show. Outside of that fraudulent ten in six years. 816 00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:50,239 Speaker 1: It wasn't well, whatever it was, it ended in a 817 00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:53,360 Speaker 1: fraudulent This is actually, I think a day where you 818 00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:56,160 Speaker 1: could say it is a big win for Joe Douglas, 819 00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:58,439 Speaker 1: who you know, Joe Douglas gets a lot of praise 820 00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:00,239 Speaker 1: and it's like we haven't seen it in win, but 821 00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:03,360 Speaker 1: his picked players are starting to become the core of 822 00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:06,319 Speaker 1: this team, like Breeze Hall today, Uh Sauce Gardner. I 823 00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:08,320 Speaker 1: mean it wasn't so much a day, but Garrett Wilson 824 00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:11,040 Speaker 1: has been good. Zack Wilson after last week he played 825 00:42:11,040 --> 00:42:12,719 Speaker 1: a steady game. Today it looks like today it's like 826 00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:14,640 Speaker 1: you can see the makings of a real team. And 827 00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:17,080 Speaker 1: we finally I thought, got the Robert Sala that we 828 00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:19,440 Speaker 1: got a little bit on the Niners sideline that I 829 00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:21,160 Speaker 1: think helped get him a job because the guy was 830 00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:24,319 Speaker 1: total fire and here he was today very pumped up, 831 00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:25,960 Speaker 1: and he should be because I think they you put 832 00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:28,120 Speaker 1: all this work into this and you go through the 833 00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:30,680 Speaker 1: seasons and it's like last year was so rough, You've 834 00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:33,360 Speaker 1: had injury situations with your want to be starting quarterback. 835 00:42:33,400 --> 00:42:36,239 Speaker 1: This year already gotta deal with Joe Flacco and this 836 00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:39,120 Speaker 1: happens today. I don't really care for the Dolphins side 837 00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:40,799 Speaker 1: of it that much because it doesn't really matter. It's 838 00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:44,000 Speaker 1: just the Jets probably learning we can win games. Yes, 839 00:42:44,120 --> 00:42:47,440 Speaker 1: that matters, and that was they've stolen. The three wins 840 00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:51,240 Speaker 1: that they have all came two comebacks in the fourth 841 00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:54,319 Speaker 1: quarter and then this game where they almost let a 842 00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:56,439 Speaker 1: game get away and then they just imposed their will 843 00:42:56,800 --> 00:42:58,960 Speaker 1: on an opponent and blew them out of the building. 844 00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:02,080 Speaker 1: So these are encouraging signs of growth. I think there's 845 00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:04,800 Speaker 1: some swagger that starts to build with a young team, 846 00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:06,400 Speaker 1: and the Jets are one of the younger teams in 847 00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:10,080 Speaker 1: the league, so there's there's much reason for optimism after 848 00:43:10,120 --> 00:43:13,920 Speaker 1: this game. The earlier comebacks, the Steelers win the Browns, 849 00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:15,720 Speaker 1: I almost didn't know what to make of those wins 850 00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:19,360 Speaker 1: because they range from unlikely to miracle. This one's like, 851 00:43:19,560 --> 00:43:21,800 Speaker 1: this is the one where you go, Okay, I understand 852 00:43:21,840 --> 00:43:26,000 Speaker 1: that Dolphins were shorthanded, but but it doesn't matter, yes, 853 00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:28,960 Speaker 1: because the Jets got the job done. And you're right. 854 00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:31,440 Speaker 1: The thing that's been haunting the Jets during the time 855 00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:34,480 Speaker 1: we've done this podcast since two thousand thirteen is they 856 00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:37,360 Speaker 1: don't have any good young players. They they keep whipping 857 00:43:37,360 --> 00:43:40,840 Speaker 1: in the draft, so they stayed talent for Sauce Gardner 858 00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:43,399 Speaker 1: also had an interception in this game. He is a 859 00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:46,280 Speaker 1: big time, big time defensive Rookie of the Year candidate. 860 00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:49,520 Speaker 1: Garrett Wilson absolutely in the discussion as one of the 861 00:43:49,520 --> 00:43:53,319 Speaker 1: best wide receivers from his rookie class. And Breece Hall 862 00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:56,359 Speaker 1: with almost two hundred total yards in this game, he 863 00:43:56,440 --> 00:43:59,160 Speaker 1: has I think maybe two over two hundred has announced 864 00:43:59,239 --> 00:44:03,080 Speaker 1: himself as a potential star himself. So there are true 865 00:44:03,120 --> 00:44:08,680 Speaker 1: reason for optimism. Can you imagine w F A N tonight? Right, 866 00:44:08,719 --> 00:44:11,520 Speaker 1: but with both both football teams that have been moribund 867 00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:14,319 Speaker 1: for so long, like showing something. This is the first 868 00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:17,680 Speaker 1: time since that they've been both over five hundred. They 869 00:44:17,680 --> 00:44:21,960 Speaker 1: were midway through that year they were it's greats are 870 00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:26,200 Speaker 1: now they're they're so much more talented just generally. And 871 00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:28,040 Speaker 1: you're right, that's the thing about putting a little a 872 00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:30,640 Speaker 1: few deposits in the mojo bank early. You're right, they 873 00:44:30,640 --> 00:44:32,320 Speaker 1: got a little lucky in those wins. You don't know what, 874 00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:36,560 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. Those winds still count who those wins count. 875 00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:38,320 Speaker 1: And then you have games like this where you totally 876 00:44:38,360 --> 00:44:40,840 Speaker 1: deserve to win and that counts to and you start 877 00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:43,080 Speaker 1: to feel that you're in every game that you can 878 00:44:43,120 --> 00:44:46,200 Speaker 1: win in any situation. You said Skyler Thompson wasn't the 879 00:44:46,239 --> 00:44:48,520 Speaker 1: reason they lost, but at some I didn't watch the game. 880 00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:52,160 Speaker 1: You know, they average under five yards per past attempt. 881 00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:54,960 Speaker 1: They were almost leading the league coming into it at 882 00:44:55,080 --> 00:44:58,040 Speaker 1: at nearly eight. But also, well, I don't even know 883 00:44:58,120 --> 00:45:01,839 Speaker 1: what what what was your Skyler Thompson throw? It? Like 884 00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:04,920 Speaker 1: the numbers lie a little bit because they gained one 885 00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:09,320 Speaker 1: hundred yards in penalty yardage on deep shots that got flags, 886 00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:12,439 Speaker 1: so he did take shots. They didn't register in big 887 00:45:12,480 --> 00:45:16,160 Speaker 1: gains for the receiver statistically, but they moved. They moved 888 00:45:16,160 --> 00:45:20,200 Speaker 1: the ball with him thrown down field. So um probably 889 00:45:20,239 --> 00:45:22,640 Speaker 1: would have been better with a quarterback with more experience. 890 00:45:23,040 --> 00:45:25,520 Speaker 1: But again, like they just got beat on both sides 891 00:45:25,560 --> 00:45:26,960 Speaker 1: of the ball in the last quarter of the game 892 00:45:27,080 --> 00:45:29,319 Speaker 1: and turned into they gonna worry if they if they 893 00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:32,040 Speaker 1: don't have you know, their top two quarterbacks next week. 894 00:45:32,080 --> 00:45:34,959 Speaker 1: They they also could be without Xavian Howard, who missed 895 00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:37,560 Speaker 1: this game, their top cornerback, and then the Armstead injury. 896 00:45:37,600 --> 00:45:40,520 Speaker 1: That's been a recurring injury, and they mentioned that it 897 00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:42,399 Speaker 1: was a situation where they wanted to get him out 898 00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:44,759 Speaker 1: early because they have a plan of like a specialist 899 00:45:44,760 --> 00:45:46,960 Speaker 1: he's gonna see in New York and that that's their 900 00:45:46,960 --> 00:45:49,640 Speaker 1: big time left tackle who's missed a ton of games 901 00:45:49,640 --> 00:45:51,480 Speaker 1: over the last five years for the Saints. It's one 902 00:45:51,520 --> 00:45:53,120 Speaker 1: of the reasons the Saints didn't want to They can't 903 00:45:53,160 --> 00:45:55,480 Speaker 1: have an injury without it becoming like a total like 904 00:45:55,640 --> 00:45:59,920 Speaker 1: unsolved mystery. And in in that vein, I do want 905 00:45:59,920 --> 00:46:03,399 Speaker 1: to say the NFL has the new concussion protocol and 906 00:46:03,440 --> 00:46:05,960 Speaker 1: you saw with Teddy in this game he had no 907 00:46:06,560 --> 00:46:10,560 Speaker 1: um concussion symptoms. He passed every test, but because a 908 00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:13,959 Speaker 1: spotter saw him stumble, he was moved from the game 909 00:46:13,960 --> 00:46:15,640 Speaker 1: and that was enough to take him out. And now 910 00:46:15,680 --> 00:46:19,400 Speaker 1: you could either tell me that's the NFL making improvements 911 00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:22,640 Speaker 1: or you could say some corrective steering has been done 912 00:46:22,640 --> 00:46:24,839 Speaker 1: to the point where we're not letting guys play when 913 00:46:24,840 --> 00:46:28,560 Speaker 1: their symptom free and telling the coaching staff I'm ready 914 00:46:28,560 --> 00:46:31,080 Speaker 1: and I want to go in. This is all fallout 915 00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:33,560 Speaker 1: from the to injury on the back to back, and 916 00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:36,959 Speaker 1: we announced this rule change this weekend, so you better 917 00:46:36,960 --> 00:46:38,480 Speaker 1: believe we're going to find a way to give you 918 00:46:38,520 --> 00:46:41,640 Speaker 1: an example of it on Sunday specially. I think the 919 00:46:41,680 --> 00:46:44,360 Speaker 1: whole idea is that guys can pass the test and 920 00:46:44,480 --> 00:46:47,239 Speaker 1: be symptom free and be very much at risk for 921 00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:51,160 Speaker 1: uh A head injury like you can look like you've. 922 00:46:51,400 --> 00:46:53,319 Speaker 1: The players have shown they know how to pass these 923 00:46:53,320 --> 00:46:56,720 Speaker 1: tests basically when they still are in having a problem. 924 00:46:56,760 --> 00:47:00,279 Speaker 1: So they're airing now. I understand that remains mur He's 925 00:47:00,280 --> 00:47:02,600 Speaker 1: still in terms of like you asked the question, what 926 00:47:02,680 --> 00:47:06,200 Speaker 1: happens in January, if a spotter thinks that Patrick Mahomes 927 00:47:06,400 --> 00:47:08,600 Speaker 1: took a misstep, is he out of a playoff game? 928 00:47:08,840 --> 00:47:11,960 Speaker 1: I mean it's there's hopefully we don't find out, but yes, 929 00:47:12,040 --> 00:47:14,560 Speaker 1: that's that's something to track in the post to a 930 00:47:14,680 --> 00:47:17,840 Speaker 1: world after his head injury. Let's move now to the 931 00:47:17,920 --> 00:47:24,520 Speaker 1: Superdome where Geno Mania looks to keep running strong from 932 00:47:24,520 --> 00:47:27,360 Speaker 1: the rant ash Mark Taysom Hill keeps it looks for 933 00:47:27,440 --> 00:47:29,239 Speaker 1: first town and he's got it and he's got roomed 934 00:47:29,280 --> 00:47:35,040 Speaker 1: wrong thirty forty thirty twenty wholly get caught behind. That 935 00:47:35,280 --> 00:47:38,719 Speaker 1: is gonna be a touch stock Tastom Hill to Tuck 936 00:47:38,760 --> 00:47:44,560 Speaker 1: Tuck taste some TV. It's the yard my cost with 937 00:47:44,640 --> 00:47:46,760 Speaker 1: the call w w L. I don't know how Taysom 938 00:47:46,760 --> 00:47:48,719 Speaker 1: didn't get caught there. He was running out of gas 939 00:47:48,760 --> 00:47:51,760 Speaker 1: and he's looking behind him, waiting, waiting to be tackled. 940 00:47:52,120 --> 00:47:54,239 Speaker 1: Just never got tackled. So he goes into the end zone, 941 00:47:54,520 --> 00:47:58,480 Speaker 1: one of three touchdowns for Hill. Taysom Hill still doing things, 942 00:47:58,920 --> 00:48:01,879 Speaker 1: including that sixty order. In the fourth quarter, he threw 943 00:48:01,880 --> 00:48:04,320 Speaker 1: a touchdown pass. The Saints snap a three game losing 944 00:48:04,320 --> 00:48:11,080 Speaker 1: streak of name much needed win over the Seahawks. Greggy 945 00:48:11,360 --> 00:48:15,400 Speaker 1: Hill has always been a polarizing player, um, but in 946 00:48:15,440 --> 00:48:17,960 Speaker 1: this game he kind of saved their butts. He has 947 00:48:18,040 --> 00:48:21,640 Speaker 1: been great this year. He has been the most consistent 948 00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:24,160 Speaker 1: part of their offense. This isn't just a one game 949 00:48:24,200 --> 00:48:28,200 Speaker 1: thing now. Four touchdowns in one game. Also went one 950 00:48:28,239 --> 00:48:30,240 Speaker 1: for one as a passer you mentioned for a touchdown, 951 00:48:30,239 --> 00:48:34,000 Speaker 1: so that's his fourth that that's pretty unique. But he's 952 00:48:34,040 --> 00:48:37,960 Speaker 1: been very valuable for a really disjointed offense. And I 953 00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:40,680 Speaker 1: know someone could come at me with some numbers, but 954 00:48:40,800 --> 00:48:45,680 Speaker 1: it feels to me like practically every time Taysom Hill 955 00:48:45,760 --> 00:48:48,680 Speaker 1: has come into a game this year, like great things 956 00:48:48,680 --> 00:48:52,600 Speaker 1: have happened. He's their only answer in the red zone. Uh, 957 00:48:52,880 --> 00:48:56,400 Speaker 1: defenses have not had an answer for him. He's just 958 00:48:56,440 --> 00:48:59,920 Speaker 1: a great power runner and he almost never throws the balls. 959 00:49:00,120 --> 00:49:03,279 Speaker 1: Teams know he's gonna run, and this offensive line is 960 00:49:03,320 --> 00:49:06,440 Speaker 1: blown up holes for him, and he was crucial and 961 00:49:06,560 --> 00:49:09,560 Speaker 1: finishing those drives. But he also was their kick returner 962 00:49:09,719 --> 00:49:12,160 Speaker 1: because Deante Hardy got hurt and he had some pretty 963 00:49:12,200 --> 00:49:15,000 Speaker 1: good kick returns. And oh, by the way, when they're 964 00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:17,080 Speaker 1: trying to seal the game, I think it was on 965 00:49:17,120 --> 00:49:20,000 Speaker 1: a camera run. They had to Taysom Hill in at 966 00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:24,000 Speaker 1: full back and he blows upen a huge hole, knocking 967 00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:26,879 Speaker 1: out of Seahawk's linebacker. It's like I was thinking about 968 00:49:26,960 --> 00:49:29,400 Speaker 1: Chris Westling, and I was thinking about Mark in that 969 00:49:29,480 --> 00:49:32,080 Speaker 1: first Tassom Hill year where you guys were fascinated by 970 00:49:32,120 --> 00:49:34,760 Speaker 1: him and enjoying it. And this was like an ultimate 971 00:49:34,840 --> 00:49:36,960 Speaker 1: Tassom Hills crazy He's getting like in a show, a 972 00:49:37,040 --> 00:49:39,560 Speaker 1: post Sean Payton universe. But I had that Sandwich bet 973 00:49:39,719 --> 00:49:41,399 Speaker 1: that one year where I think I said he would 974 00:49:41,440 --> 00:49:43,440 Speaker 1: score five or more touchdowns, and you kind of there 975 00:49:43,480 --> 00:49:45,480 Speaker 1: was an elongated journey to get to that. I mean 976 00:49:45,480 --> 00:49:48,360 Speaker 1: it almost happened on one day here. Yeah, it's I 977 00:49:48,400 --> 00:49:50,480 Speaker 1: remember there was that playoff game. I think there's playoff 978 00:49:50,520 --> 00:49:53,840 Speaker 1: loss where we were saying player was on the field, 979 00:49:56,280 --> 00:49:57,759 Speaker 1: but like you don't like that stuff. But he was 980 00:49:59,120 --> 00:50:02,399 Speaker 1: journey ever since for Hill. So but to see him, 981 00:50:02,520 --> 00:50:05,000 Speaker 1: you know, carry this team and Andy Dalton Gregg, what 982 00:50:05,040 --> 00:50:06,680 Speaker 1: was what do we see from him? Because I know 983 00:50:06,800 --> 00:50:09,240 Speaker 1: Jameis Winston has been now out a couple of weeks 984 00:50:09,280 --> 00:50:11,960 Speaker 1: and it's very kind of murky his timetable. Do you 985 00:50:11,960 --> 00:50:14,640 Speaker 1: think Dalton is doing anything to hold onto this job? 986 00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:17,760 Speaker 1: What do you think it's his job? Yes, just because 987 00:50:17,920 --> 00:50:20,600 Speaker 1: I think they're just gonna see how it keeps going. 988 00:50:20,800 --> 00:50:22,920 Speaker 1: He's been far from perfect in both these games. I 989 00:50:22,920 --> 00:50:24,799 Speaker 1: think he looks similar to a week ago where he's 990 00:50:24,800 --> 00:50:26,400 Speaker 1: a little late on a couple of throws. He had 991 00:50:26,440 --> 00:50:29,160 Speaker 1: a bad interception. They also dropped a couple of passes. 992 00:50:29,440 --> 00:50:31,759 Speaker 1: He wasn't like the answer, but everything makes a little 993 00:50:31,800 --> 00:50:34,120 Speaker 1: more sense with him. And he also was playing without 994 00:50:34,160 --> 00:50:38,000 Speaker 1: Jarvis Landry was a surprise late and active without Michael Thomas. 995 00:50:38,400 --> 00:50:42,600 Speaker 1: And then Chris olav was concussed on a touchdown catch 996 00:50:42,960 --> 00:50:46,080 Speaker 1: that was overturned and they decided they said it was 997 00:50:46,120 --> 00:50:50,240 Speaker 1: a touchdown, but he slammed his head after possessing the ball. 998 00:50:50,280 --> 00:50:54,160 Speaker 1: So they were in a tough spot here offensively, and 999 00:50:54,239 --> 00:50:56,480 Speaker 1: to me, he's just a little more trustworthy and I 1000 00:50:56,520 --> 00:50:59,560 Speaker 1: think is making more sense in terms of their offense. 1001 00:50:59,600 --> 00:51:02,920 Speaker 1: They need did thirty nine points today because their defense 1002 00:51:02,960 --> 00:51:06,440 Speaker 1: was not really stopping Gino too often. Then again, Dalton, 1003 00:51:06,600 --> 00:51:08,400 Speaker 1: you know, set set up some of those points with 1004 00:51:08,440 --> 00:51:10,799 Speaker 1: the bad I mean Gino with three touchdowns and thirty 1005 00:51:10,800 --> 00:51:13,399 Speaker 1: plus yards. I mean, I think Dan and I are 1006 00:51:13,440 --> 00:51:16,960 Speaker 1: just taking constant l's on the Geno front because I'm 1007 00:51:16,960 --> 00:51:22,319 Speaker 1: playing the long game. But there is no L. The 1008 00:51:22,360 --> 00:51:24,359 Speaker 1: fact that he had a five game stretch like this 1009 00:51:24,440 --> 00:51:29,799 Speaker 1: is beyond anything anyone. He genuinely looks great. He looks great, 1010 00:51:29,840 --> 00:51:31,920 Speaker 1: and he's he it is. It is one of the 1011 00:51:31,920 --> 00:51:35,680 Speaker 1: most bizarre developments of the NFL season because that's the 1012 00:51:35,680 --> 00:51:38,680 Speaker 1: only choice I have at this isn't going to play. 1013 00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:41,239 Speaker 1: I said that I had, I had washed myself of 1014 00:51:41,239 --> 00:51:43,040 Speaker 1: all critique and was willing just to see what he 1015 00:51:43,080 --> 00:51:45,840 Speaker 1: did before the season, and I am seeing it and 1016 00:51:45,880 --> 00:51:49,880 Speaker 1: I'm kind of this is our reality. Dimes in this game. Uh, 1017 00:51:50,120 --> 00:51:52,520 Speaker 1: you mentioned three touchdowns, two d and sixty eight yards. 1018 00:51:52,719 --> 00:51:54,840 Speaker 1: He did take like a sack at the end that 1019 00:51:54,920 --> 00:51:57,040 Speaker 1: was kind of an old you know, when they needed 1020 00:51:57,040 --> 00:52:00,200 Speaker 1: a touchdown drive late in the game that was tough 1021 00:52:00,239 --> 00:52:02,040 Speaker 1: for him to take. Was kind of old Geno held 1022 00:52:02,040 --> 00:52:04,520 Speaker 1: onto the ball. But his great throws in this game 1023 00:52:04,560 --> 00:52:07,319 Speaker 1: were next level. I mean, you have to kind of say, 1024 00:52:07,360 --> 00:52:10,360 Speaker 1: if you're just judging quarterback play on this season alone, 1025 00:52:11,200 --> 00:52:13,719 Speaker 1: he's got a pretty strong argument as a top five 1026 00:52:13,840 --> 00:52:16,359 Speaker 1: quarterback in the NFL this year. So right right now, 1027 00:52:17,400 --> 00:52:19,960 Speaker 1: maybe a true great quarterback would have rallied him to 1028 00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:21,960 Speaker 1: win today. I didn't see the game, but they put 1029 00:52:22,000 --> 00:52:25,120 Speaker 1: up thirty two. They get that last touchdown. They had 1030 00:52:25,160 --> 00:52:28,520 Speaker 1: a terrible day though, because they lost Rashod Penny, who 1031 00:52:28,600 --> 00:52:31,680 Speaker 1: to me is such a key to this offense, to 1032 00:52:31,840 --> 00:52:34,480 Speaker 1: a potential broken ankle that's gonna knock him out for 1033 00:52:34,520 --> 00:52:36,879 Speaker 1: the season. And I just don't think they're the same 1034 00:52:36,920 --> 00:52:39,239 Speaker 1: team without him. One little seat, Like every time I 1035 00:52:39,280 --> 00:52:42,480 Speaker 1: look up at the Seahawks defense, like Tarik Willen is 1036 00:52:42,520 --> 00:52:44,920 Speaker 1: making a play, Yeah, he was to the one. He 1037 00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:47,000 Speaker 1: was the one making Taysom Hill look slow. He had 1038 00:52:47,000 --> 00:52:48,560 Speaker 1: a four to six forties, so that's why he was 1039 00:52:48,640 --> 00:52:53,560 Speaker 1: killed what you're trying to have. I've been I've been 1040 00:52:53,600 --> 00:52:57,160 Speaker 1: pump we can, but I see what you're doing. You're 1041 00:52:57,160 --> 00:53:01,400 Speaker 1: trying to whyt allowing you to enjoy who Fana because 1042 00:53:01,440 --> 00:53:03,320 Speaker 1: he had a good week one and he was assigned 1043 00:53:03,320 --> 00:53:05,200 Speaker 1: to the forty diners. But you're not allowed to like 1044 00:53:05,320 --> 00:53:08,080 Speaker 1: other defensive? Why not own me or set those rules? 1045 00:53:08,680 --> 00:53:12,400 Speaker 1: How about that? I just think you have a company 1046 00:53:12,719 --> 00:53:15,080 Speaker 1: char you are not above me in the company or chart. 1047 00:53:15,560 --> 00:53:17,120 Speaker 1: But is it is it? Is it true or is 1048 00:53:17,160 --> 00:53:19,880 Speaker 1: it not true that you see that I'm enjoying my 1049 00:53:20,040 --> 00:53:21,840 Speaker 1: who found a high life and you're like, oh, I 1050 00:53:21,880 --> 00:53:23,919 Speaker 1: want my own who. I mean, I completely forgot about 1051 00:53:23,920 --> 00:53:27,160 Speaker 1: your Fana thing, and I've been bringing up well in 1052 00:53:27,200 --> 00:53:32,360 Speaker 1: every week. He is amazing of you. Two are intensely possessive. 1053 00:53:32,400 --> 00:53:34,680 Speaker 1: I don't understand it is it is the sport for 1054 00:53:34,719 --> 00:53:37,160 Speaker 1: the all the people, not just It's not to have 1055 00:53:37,239 --> 00:53:40,839 Speaker 1: a little barn of Players's a blank spot for your guy. Yeah, 1056 00:53:40,960 --> 00:53:42,719 Speaker 1: well there's a hundreds of other people for me to 1057 00:53:42,760 --> 00:53:47,160 Speaker 1: pick from. I'm taking Jack Jones to the off the board. 1058 00:53:47,360 --> 00:53:49,759 Speaker 1: Extremely possessive. Just a fun note for this game and 1059 00:53:49,760 --> 00:53:51,880 Speaker 1: for the Saints in general. The Saints are too o 1060 00:53:52,000 --> 00:53:55,080 Speaker 1: against bird teams. It's not gonna like and three against 1061 00:53:55,080 --> 00:53:58,399 Speaker 1: non bird teams, and they have a chance this year. 1062 00:53:58,480 --> 00:54:00,719 Speaker 1: This is not this has been various. Is stupid to 1063 00:54:01,600 --> 00:54:04,560 Speaker 1: third gauntlet that they could play this teams are the 1064 00:54:04,680 --> 00:54:07,960 Speaker 1: card rules in week seven, Ravens in week nine, Eagles 1065 00:54:07,960 --> 00:54:10,560 Speaker 1: in week seventeen. So they have a change ag or 1066 00:54:10,600 --> 00:54:12,479 Speaker 1: six and oaks. They play the Falcons twice or five 1067 00:54:12,520 --> 00:54:15,120 Speaker 1: and or five and twelve. It would be really fun 1068 00:54:15,200 --> 00:54:17,520 Speaker 1: if they only beat bird teams in five and thirteen, 1069 00:54:17,520 --> 00:54:19,799 Speaker 1: if they snuck into the playoffs five and twelve, just 1070 00:54:19,960 --> 00:54:21,800 Speaker 1: let just let you know mathematically, they're a bunch of 1071 00:54:21,880 --> 00:54:24,919 Speaker 1: nugs and they're all good. Speaking of birds, the Falcons, 1072 00:54:25,760 --> 00:54:29,120 Speaker 1: they headed to Tampa. They wanted to make a statement. 1073 00:54:29,200 --> 00:54:32,440 Speaker 1: Could they Rudolphin motion of the right, the snap, play action, 1074 00:54:32,480 --> 00:54:37,040 Speaker 1: fake in the pass, Rady touchstaff Tampa baby, easy pickings 1075 00:54:37,160 --> 00:54:41,279 Speaker 1: for top Brady and literally Tornet. You know that is 1076 00:54:41,320 --> 00:54:44,200 Speaker 1: so on brand. The Bucks are kind of my radar 1077 00:54:44,320 --> 00:54:46,960 Speaker 1: is not a very fun exciting team. We're doing like 1078 00:54:47,000 --> 00:54:50,600 Speaker 1: a screw, you know, a dumb pass to Lending Fournette 1079 00:54:50,840 --> 00:54:52,960 Speaker 1: for the touchdown for the highlight. But that's what it is, 1080 00:54:53,320 --> 00:54:55,719 Speaker 1: but he deserves it. You know why. Lending Fournette was 1081 00:54:55,719 --> 00:54:58,040 Speaker 1: a stud in this game. He's been quiet this year, 1082 00:54:58,080 --> 00:55:01,520 Speaker 1: but he scored two touchdown, had a mess of yards 1083 00:55:01,520 --> 00:55:06,080 Speaker 1: in the bucks. Take care of business over the Falcons 1084 00:55:06,120 --> 00:55:09,000 Speaker 1: marked the Falcons made it close down the stretch. And 1085 00:55:09,080 --> 00:55:12,640 Speaker 1: you were you were very fired up in the newsroom 1086 00:55:12,680 --> 00:55:15,960 Speaker 1: today over a particular call late in this game. Well, 1087 00:55:16,000 --> 00:55:18,680 Speaker 1: I think anyone anyone watching this game would be and 1088 00:55:18,680 --> 00:55:23,240 Speaker 1: and and certainly Falcons fans watched um a potentially season 1089 00:55:23,320 --> 00:55:27,480 Speaker 1: altering comeback melt away with what was one of the 1090 00:55:27,520 --> 00:55:31,120 Speaker 1: worst What happened so late in the game. Tom Brady 1091 00:55:31,200 --> 00:55:34,080 Speaker 1: is driving, but the Falcons essentially have him stopped and 1092 00:55:34,480 --> 00:55:37,000 Speaker 1: throw him down like there is a J. D. Grady. 1093 00:55:37,080 --> 00:55:39,320 Speaker 1: Jarrett's sack on Tom Brady would have ended the drive 1094 00:55:40,520 --> 00:55:44,440 Speaker 1: and it is called essentially for roughing the passer. And 1095 00:55:45,440 --> 00:55:47,720 Speaker 1: he put his arms around him and kind of wheeled 1096 00:55:47,760 --> 00:55:51,120 Speaker 1: him around to the ground perfectly fine tackle. And then 1097 00:55:51,160 --> 00:55:55,440 Speaker 1: this is the call what happened Westernham and Dave Archy 1098 00:55:55,760 --> 00:55:58,880 Speaker 1: because it is it's fitting Falcons radio working for the 1099 00:55:58,880 --> 00:56:02,399 Speaker 1: gun of your retreats. Looking, lookie, here comes Brady dared 1100 00:56:02,719 --> 00:56:09,040 Speaker 1: you shall not pass. That is prey. Surely they didn't 1101 00:56:09,040 --> 00:56:15,680 Speaker 1: call slinging him down. This will be a call for 1102 00:56:16,000 --> 00:56:22,120 Speaker 1: slinging down Brady on this sack. I see a worst 1103 00:56:22,120 --> 00:56:26,359 Speaker 1: play than this. Speak speak to it. That's a disgrace. 1104 00:56:26,520 --> 00:56:28,400 Speaker 1: I mean, we're watching that on the video here and 1105 00:56:28,400 --> 00:56:32,640 Speaker 1: it just it's it was unbelievable. And that drives not 1106 00:56:32,719 --> 00:56:36,080 Speaker 1: even close. That Drive also had a third and four 1107 00:56:36,160 --> 00:56:38,920 Speaker 1: call where the Bucks had the ball and A J. 1108 00:56:39,200 --> 00:56:42,560 Speaker 1: Terrell was called for holding. That was a completely bizarre 1109 00:56:42,600 --> 00:56:45,279 Speaker 1: holding call. And then even later this even this went 1110 00:56:45,320 --> 00:56:48,120 Speaker 1: against this went against the Bucks, but there was a 1111 00:56:48,200 --> 00:56:50,239 Speaker 1: deep shot that should have been passing in affairs so 1112 00:56:50,280 --> 00:56:52,440 Speaker 1: that the calls were all over the place and it 1113 00:56:52,440 --> 00:56:54,160 Speaker 1: seemed like this was almost a make up call of 1114 00:56:54,200 --> 00:56:56,680 Speaker 1: some sort. But it completely changed the game and allowed 1115 00:56:56,719 --> 00:56:59,799 Speaker 1: the Bucks to go on to win. When the the Falcons, 1116 00:56:59,840 --> 00:57:03,000 Speaker 1: like they've done in other games, we're growing spicier and spicier, 1117 00:57:03,160 --> 00:57:09,080 Speaker 1: and they did not have Cordial or Patterson. They're frisky, 1118 00:57:08,600 --> 00:57:11,759 Speaker 1: they are, I guess to me, I want to see 1119 00:57:11,800 --> 00:57:14,400 Speaker 1: them as spicy because we have a spicy, frisky conversation 1120 00:57:14,440 --> 00:57:18,680 Speaker 1: on two because I don't I think we all it's 1121 00:57:18,720 --> 00:57:22,280 Speaker 1: time to have that conversation, and even before when even 1122 00:57:22,320 --> 00:57:24,720 Speaker 1: before when I said I had my definition of of 1123 00:57:25,760 --> 00:57:27,760 Speaker 1: I just I see it as all sorts of things 1124 00:57:27,760 --> 00:57:30,320 Speaker 1: both ways. But the Falcons, I mean, just have to 1125 00:57:30,360 --> 00:57:33,040 Speaker 1: be so frustrated because this should have They mean they 1126 00:57:33,040 --> 00:57:35,280 Speaker 1: still would have had to score a touchdown, you know, 1127 00:57:35,600 --> 00:57:37,680 Speaker 1: they would have. They would have had to. But I 1128 00:57:37,720 --> 00:57:40,120 Speaker 1: think they hand them a victory if they don't get 1129 00:57:40,120 --> 00:57:42,160 Speaker 1: that call. That's all I'm not. No. I think it's 1130 00:57:42,200 --> 00:57:44,240 Speaker 1: just a change. It melted away their shot at going 1131 00:57:44,280 --> 00:57:46,440 Speaker 1: down the field. I'm like, also a little annoyed by 1132 00:57:46,480 --> 00:57:49,320 Speaker 1: your guys. Is a narrative late, like like whoa, I 1133 00:57:49,400 --> 00:57:52,320 Speaker 1: don't like this, Like the style points Tom Brady is 1134 00:57:52,320 --> 00:57:55,320 Speaker 1: not being entertaining enough. He's forty five years old and 1135 00:57:55,400 --> 00:57:57,600 Speaker 1: he has seven hundred and thirty yards in the last 1136 00:57:57,640 --> 00:58:00,200 Speaker 1: two weeks. But it's not like you know what that's saying. 1137 00:58:00,240 --> 00:58:02,480 Speaker 1: It's like, all Matt Riot put a bit of casket 1138 00:58:02,520 --> 00:58:05,680 Speaker 1: and he's eight years younger and Brady's out here throwing 1139 00:58:06,360 --> 00:58:08,720 Speaker 1: and what do you want? You're not wrong, Like I 1140 00:58:08,800 --> 00:58:12,480 Speaker 1: go watch the like a one and a half yard 1141 00:58:14,240 --> 00:58:16,840 Speaker 1: for one second, Go watch the game. Go watch the 1142 00:58:16,880 --> 00:58:18,360 Speaker 1: game and see if it looks like he threw for 1143 00:58:18,400 --> 00:58:20,960 Speaker 1: that much yardage, it's all it's just like, there's not 1144 00:58:21,040 --> 00:58:23,000 Speaker 1: a lot of downfield action. He's so nice stuff with 1145 00:58:24,680 --> 00:58:28,240 Speaker 1: it's not a visual. I'm looking forward to watching this game, 1146 00:58:28,280 --> 00:58:30,880 Speaker 1: so I'll reserve comment on like my thoughts on their offense, 1147 00:58:31,120 --> 00:58:32,680 Speaker 1: but I'd love to see a couple of those like 1148 00:58:32,760 --> 00:58:36,320 Speaker 1: Patent Tommy boys spirals fifty yards down the field that 1149 00:58:36,400 --> 00:58:39,120 Speaker 1: Chris Goden catches and stride for seventy You're just not 1150 00:58:39,160 --> 00:58:41,120 Speaker 1: seeing a lot of explosiveness from the office. But I 1151 00:58:41,160 --> 00:58:44,640 Speaker 1: guess I hear what you're saying. I'm saying this man 1152 00:58:44,840 --> 00:58:47,880 Speaker 1: is forty five years old putting up fifty yards a week. 1153 00:58:48,360 --> 00:58:49,919 Speaker 1: I don't know what should we can bring up his age. 1154 00:58:49,920 --> 00:58:52,800 Speaker 1: We've already we've already because he's doing something no one's 1155 00:58:52,840 --> 00:58:55,280 Speaker 1: ever done in the history of the sport. So I'm missing, 1156 00:58:55,640 --> 00:58:57,840 Speaker 1: I'm grady amount of different curve. I I don't I 1157 00:58:57,880 --> 00:59:00,280 Speaker 1: think you're separating Brady, who's throwing the ball well from 1158 00:59:00,280 --> 00:59:02,800 Speaker 1: the way that it is to watch this offense. It's 1159 00:59:02,840 --> 00:59:06,480 Speaker 1: just something is a downtick from Latin post. No doubt, Um, 1160 00:59:06,520 --> 00:59:09,600 Speaker 1: there was a boy who ran onto the field and 1161 00:59:09,680 --> 00:59:14,960 Speaker 1: according to the Associated Press, was tackled hard by security personnel. 1162 00:59:14,960 --> 00:59:17,400 Speaker 1: This feels like something that would spring from your imagination 1163 00:59:17,760 --> 00:59:20,560 Speaker 1: or maybe it's the boy inside you running onto the field. 1164 00:59:20,600 --> 00:59:23,320 Speaker 1: So it wasn't even a real person anyway. Do you 1165 00:59:23,400 --> 00:59:25,520 Speaker 1: have anything on this? I mean, I think if you know, 1166 00:59:25,680 --> 00:59:29,080 Speaker 1: I had predicted in our October fourth something's gonna happen 1167 00:59:29,120 --> 00:59:31,280 Speaker 1: by then, predictions that a streaker would happen at the 1168 00:59:31,360 --> 00:59:36,120 Speaker 1: Rams it was a protester. But but like within a 1169 00:59:36,280 --> 00:59:39,240 Speaker 1: seven day period too to human beings are doing this? 1170 00:59:39,280 --> 00:59:42,240 Speaker 1: And this is more bizarre. It's a child, right, No 1171 00:59:42,320 --> 00:59:45,920 Speaker 1: one has a video of this, are we We got 1172 00:59:46,000 --> 00:59:51,720 Speaker 1: a child getting slammed on the security here's a ten 1173 00:59:51,800 --> 00:59:54,080 Speaker 1: year old boy. I'm gonna slam them to the turf. 1174 00:59:55,360 --> 00:59:59,000 Speaker 1: I mean to me, if if you run on the field, 1175 00:59:59,200 --> 01:00:04,480 Speaker 1: the laws of society doesn't matter. I read that the mother, 1176 01:00:05,120 --> 01:00:07,560 Speaker 1: uh said that he was ten, but the officials said 1177 01:00:07,760 --> 01:00:10,160 Speaker 1: he's older than ten. And then they said, hey, mom, 1178 01:00:10,240 --> 01:00:11,560 Speaker 1: why are the kids on the field. He's like, I 1179 01:00:11,640 --> 01:00:13,560 Speaker 1: got a lot of kids here. I lost track of 1180 01:00:13,560 --> 01:00:15,400 Speaker 1: this one. How would the security official no, by some 1181 01:00:15,800 --> 01:00:17,919 Speaker 1: he was older than this kid? Yeah, this kid ads 1182 01:00:17,920 --> 01:00:21,240 Speaker 1: some pretty good lateral quickness, So I don't think you 1183 01:00:21,480 --> 01:00:24,240 Speaker 1: cut him any slack. Hey ma, how about we uh 1184 01:00:24,520 --> 01:00:26,360 Speaker 1: don't take all the kids to the game. We can't 1185 01:00:26,400 --> 01:00:28,880 Speaker 1: account for them, right limit the selection of he got 1186 01:00:29,000 --> 01:00:31,360 Speaker 1: body rocks. They would have called the penalty on that. 1187 01:00:31,400 --> 01:00:33,880 Speaker 1: If someone did that, Well, what is the security man 1188 01:00:34,000 --> 01:00:35,800 Speaker 1: is meant to body rock people when they when they 1189 01:00:35,800 --> 01:00:37,880 Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not siding with him necessarily. I side 1190 01:00:37,920 --> 01:00:41,400 Speaker 1: with children. And they did ask Tom about that BS 1191 01:00:41,480 --> 01:00:43,360 Speaker 1: call and he said, yeah, I don't. I don't like 1192 01:00:43,480 --> 01:00:46,040 Speaker 1: the calls. I would say too. So all right, let's 1193 01:00:46,080 --> 01:00:49,320 Speaker 1: take a break. We'll be right back. All right, let's 1194 01:00:49,360 --> 01:00:51,080 Speaker 1: move on and check in with a team of a 1195 01:00:51,160 --> 01:00:53,480 Speaker 1: t And they have to they have to do something. 1196 01:00:53,880 --> 01:00:56,479 Speaker 1: I mean, they did something to Foxborough in the hands. 1197 01:00:56,480 --> 01:00:58,440 Speaker 1: He changed the stuff. He just gonna look to play 1198 01:00:58,480 --> 01:01:06,800 Speaker 1: it out. He's change. But down in the cloud of 1199 01:01:06,840 --> 01:01:16,200 Speaker 1: the ten high stepping clicking, coming down down, there's the 1200 01:01:16,240 --> 01:01:20,480 Speaker 1: call by Bob soci and a sentient powerade bottle w 1201 01:01:20,720 --> 01:01:25,400 Speaker 1: b Z. You know, I don't know, man, I don't know. 1202 01:01:25,640 --> 01:01:28,120 Speaker 1: Kyle Dugar made a house call from fifty nine yards 1203 01:01:28,120 --> 01:01:30,560 Speaker 1: out from Andre Stephenson rushed for a career high buck 1204 01:01:30,640 --> 01:01:37,600 Speaker 1: sixty one and the Patriots mow down the toothless Lions 1205 01:01:37,640 --> 01:01:44,160 Speaker 1: at Foxborough. Greg, you know this is to the credit 1206 01:01:44,320 --> 01:01:48,080 Speaker 1: of Bill Belichick. The Patriots are like unique, and to 1207 01:01:48,240 --> 01:01:50,640 Speaker 1: me that even and now that they're not special. But 1208 01:01:50,720 --> 01:01:54,920 Speaker 1: if they if they're like ready for a team and prepared, 1209 01:01:55,440 --> 01:01:58,000 Speaker 1: and a team comes into their building on certain Sundays, 1210 01:01:58,840 --> 01:02:02,280 Speaker 1: these things happen Like Belichick has a team's number and 1211 01:02:02,360 --> 01:02:06,000 Speaker 1: has them cooked up thirty nothing, forty nothing, fifty nothing, 1212 01:02:06,080 --> 01:02:08,040 Speaker 1: always in play. It happens a couple of times a year. 1213 01:02:08,200 --> 01:02:11,680 Speaker 1: Happened here. I think that's well put in. It speaks 1214 01:02:11,760 --> 01:02:17,360 Speaker 1: to the Patriots will still let other teams beat themselves. 1215 01:02:17,840 --> 01:02:19,880 Speaker 1: And I thought they were so close to doing that 1216 01:02:19,920 --> 01:02:22,120 Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks against two decent teams, the 1217 01:02:22,160 --> 01:02:25,440 Speaker 1: Packers and the Ravens. But when they play a team 1218 01:02:25,480 --> 01:02:28,760 Speaker 1: like the Lions, who are ready to beat themselves, they 1219 01:02:28,880 --> 01:02:33,640 Speaker 1: let it happen and defensively. Bill Belichick at Jared Goff 1220 01:02:33,720 --> 01:02:36,000 Speaker 1: in a vice script, I mean, I was having Super 1221 01:02:36,040 --> 01:02:40,600 Speaker 1: Bowl flashbacks. They got very aggressive with their pressures, and 1222 01:02:40,720 --> 01:02:44,040 Speaker 1: Jared Goff didn't know where it was coming from. This offense, 1223 01:02:44,040 --> 01:02:47,680 Speaker 1: which had scored the most points of any in the 1224 01:02:47,800 --> 01:02:51,200 Speaker 1: league did not know what to do, and goff was 1225 01:02:51,240 --> 01:02:54,160 Speaker 1: holding the ball and having that sort of Goffian type 1226 01:02:54,160 --> 01:02:56,920 Speaker 1: of game, to the point that Dan Campbell's comment to 1227 01:02:57,000 --> 01:02:59,880 Speaker 1: the sideline reporter coming out a halftime was like, jar 1228 01:03:00,040 --> 01:03:02,120 Speaker 1: it just needs to relax back there, and I was like, oh, 1229 01:03:02,280 --> 01:03:05,440 Speaker 1: don't say that publicly. He did not relax back there. 1230 01:03:05,720 --> 01:03:09,160 Speaker 1: Is this a Matt Patricia revenge game? They would have 1231 01:03:09,240 --> 01:03:11,080 Speaker 1: it would have been positioned the other way. I think 1232 01:03:11,080 --> 01:03:14,640 Speaker 1: if they had lost, I'm sure the Lions let's players, Well, 1233 01:03:14,680 --> 01:03:18,000 Speaker 1: it's here and again the team of around the NFL, 1234 01:03:18,640 --> 01:03:20,800 Speaker 1: since we name them the team or around the NFL, 1235 01:03:21,360 --> 01:03:28,880 Speaker 1: are winless in three games. It's uh as bad as 1236 01:03:28,920 --> 01:03:30,800 Speaker 1: it gets. I mean, this is the worst, you know, 1237 01:03:30,840 --> 01:03:33,840 Speaker 1: this is where we're at, and sometimes, uh, it's gonna 1238 01:03:33,880 --> 01:03:36,320 Speaker 1: get It's gonna get bad before it gets better. And 1239 01:03:36,320 --> 01:03:39,240 Speaker 1: and uh, you know, I believe we hit rock bottom 1240 01:03:39,280 --> 01:03:41,520 Speaker 1: it so now the only place to go is back up. 1241 01:03:41,920 --> 01:03:49,880 Speaker 1: What is happening to you day? Play and play? The 1242 01:03:50,000 --> 01:04:00,360 Speaker 1: way the way it led right into Patricia was I'm 1243 01:04:00,400 --> 01:04:06,280 Speaker 1: sorry Lions fans are not doing well because I mean, 1244 01:04:06,640 --> 01:04:08,880 Speaker 1: I think you're gonna bounce back. I guess these things 1245 01:04:08,920 --> 01:04:12,200 Speaker 1: can always get worse. Nothing is pretty bad against the 1246 01:04:12,240 --> 01:04:16,200 Speaker 1: Patriots team that's starting a third string quarterback. It's and 1247 01:04:16,240 --> 01:04:18,880 Speaker 1: the one thing that I wrote about in the Power 1248 01:04:18,960 --> 01:04:20,800 Speaker 1: Rings last week, because like we knew, the defense has 1249 01:04:20,840 --> 01:04:23,440 Speaker 1: all sorts of problems and we saw it again in 1250 01:04:23,480 --> 01:04:27,320 Speaker 1: this game. Uh, but the offense had been scoring thirty 1251 01:04:27,360 --> 01:04:30,880 Speaker 1: five points a game, and the concern was, what if 1252 01:04:30,880 --> 01:04:34,080 Speaker 1: that comes back down to earth and the defense stays bad, 1253 01:04:34,120 --> 01:04:35,680 Speaker 1: then you're one of the worst teams in the league. 1254 01:04:36,440 --> 01:04:39,560 Speaker 1: And that's what they look like. Little based on the score, 1255 01:04:39,600 --> 01:04:43,960 Speaker 1: that's that's what they seem like. They went over for 1256 01:04:44,120 --> 01:04:47,360 Speaker 1: six on fourth downs. Uh, so that was a factor, 1257 01:04:47,440 --> 01:04:49,400 Speaker 1: Like they were moving the ball. That's the most fourth 1258 01:04:49,440 --> 01:04:51,840 Speaker 1: downs anyone's ever attempted, and one at every top five 1259 01:04:52,440 --> 01:04:56,520 Speaker 1: without doing it without gaining one before. Jack Jones is 1260 01:04:56,560 --> 01:04:59,680 Speaker 1: a thing. This rookie cornerback is a playmaker for the 1261 01:04:59,680 --> 01:05:03,760 Speaker 1: page mark and and Matthew jude On has been yeah, 1262 01:05:03,760 --> 01:05:05,920 Speaker 1: you can't have Jack. I'm not playing this game with 1263 01:05:05,960 --> 01:05:09,400 Speaker 1: the two of you the entire episode. And uh, Matthew 1264 01:05:09,480 --> 01:05:13,360 Speaker 1: Judean is having a monstrous season. That was his strip sack. 1265 01:05:13,400 --> 01:05:14,680 Speaker 1: He had two sacks in this game. He has a 1266 01:05:14,720 --> 01:05:17,520 Speaker 1: sack in every single game this season. And yeah you 1267 01:05:17,560 --> 01:05:20,120 Speaker 1: mentioned Zappi. Oh, by the way, the third string quarterback 1268 01:05:20,120 --> 01:05:25,160 Speaker 1: goes sev and his interception only came because Nelson Aghila 1269 01:05:25,480 --> 01:05:29,320 Speaker 1: starts playing volleyball. Patriots, by the way, Yeah, it's almost 1270 01:05:29,400 --> 01:05:32,720 Speaker 1: like all the handwringing about the coaching staff being in tatters. 1271 01:05:32,760 --> 01:05:35,040 Speaker 1: This is a well coached team that's gonna make the 1272 01:05:35,040 --> 01:05:37,040 Speaker 1: most of what they have. The a f C East 1273 01:05:37,120 --> 01:05:39,440 Speaker 1: is back. How about that? This is the best. I 1274 01:05:39,480 --> 01:05:42,440 Speaker 1: don't think the Patriots are gonna be major factors, but 1275 01:05:42,480 --> 01:05:44,680 Speaker 1: I think they're gonna be a tough out. And and uh, 1276 01:05:44,760 --> 01:05:50,120 Speaker 1: this is a team. Let us head to land over 1277 01:05:50,720 --> 01:05:56,040 Speaker 1: which takes the snap looking throwing, intercepted, intercepted, David look 1278 01:05:58,840 --> 01:06:04,160 Speaker 1: shut down. That was the big play and it came 1279 01:06:04,880 --> 01:06:08,760 Speaker 1: the last play. And that's three in a row, never 1280 01:06:08,920 --> 01:06:15,880 Speaker 1: a doubt. Mike Keith w g f X with the call, 1281 01:06:16,800 --> 01:06:19,520 Speaker 1: David Long Jr. Intercepted Carson Wentz to the one yard 1282 01:06:19,560 --> 01:06:23,280 Speaker 1: line with six seconds to play, allowing the Tennessee Titans 1283 01:06:23,320 --> 01:06:26,840 Speaker 1: to escape with their third win in a row over 1284 01:06:26,880 --> 01:06:31,360 Speaker 1: the Commanders. Grave digger. You know listen, don't look now, 1285 01:06:31,480 --> 01:06:33,280 Speaker 1: but all of a sudden, Titans are in first place. 1286 01:06:33,320 --> 01:06:36,040 Speaker 1: Everybody else stinks. The a f C. South seems to 1287 01:06:36,080 --> 01:06:38,200 Speaker 1: be in good order for you, but I'm sure you 1288 01:06:38,240 --> 01:06:40,840 Speaker 1: were white knuckling this one with the rest of Titans 1289 01:06:40,920 --> 01:06:45,760 Speaker 1: nation when Carson Wentz had them at the one right. Well, 1290 01:06:45,800 --> 01:06:48,360 Speaker 1: here's the thing. Carson Wentz had gone the entire game 1291 01:06:48,400 --> 01:06:51,480 Speaker 1: without making a mistake. As a Titans fan, you're like, 1292 01:06:51,640 --> 01:06:56,360 Speaker 1: it's coming here. I had locked up your Titans. And 1293 01:06:56,440 --> 01:06:58,640 Speaker 1: even I was standing next to Greggy in the newsroom. 1294 01:06:58,640 --> 01:07:01,360 Speaker 1: We were watching it as I know he's gonna botch us. 1295 01:07:01,400 --> 01:07:04,160 Speaker 1: He's Carson Wentz. It's coming. It's coming. And after he 1296 01:07:04,240 --> 01:07:07,280 Speaker 1: nearly threw one pick, then he threw the one on 1297 01:07:07,360 --> 01:07:09,680 Speaker 1: the next play. Yep. And this was a pretty ugly 1298 01:07:09,720 --> 01:07:12,600 Speaker 1: game overall. I feel like lots of sacks, lots of 1299 01:07:12,640 --> 01:07:17,240 Speaker 1: holding penalties, both offenses struggling to move the ball. Titans 1300 01:07:17,400 --> 01:07:20,200 Speaker 1: score seven points in the second half, which is the 1301 01:07:20,200 --> 01:07:22,360 Speaker 1: most points they've scored in the second half since Week one, 1302 01:07:22,560 --> 01:07:26,120 Speaker 1: so that was an improvement. I guess um. Both teams 1303 01:07:26,160 --> 01:07:28,400 Speaker 1: really banged up on the offensive line, so it felt 1304 01:07:28,480 --> 01:07:31,560 Speaker 1: like both quarterbacks were under pressure the entire game, and 1305 01:07:31,600 --> 01:07:34,920 Speaker 1: that was just let's see, I'm gonna check right now 1306 01:07:34,920 --> 01:07:37,440 Speaker 1: in real time. Did these teams combine for six d 1307 01:07:37,600 --> 01:07:41,000 Speaker 1: total yards of offense? Here? Yes, because for the fourth 1308 01:07:41,080 --> 01:07:43,400 Speaker 1: game in a row, the Titans allowed a three hundred 1309 01:07:43,440 --> 01:07:46,440 Speaker 1: yard passer, which is the longest streak in franchise history 1310 01:07:46,480 --> 01:07:48,640 Speaker 1: to allow with three such a Titans game, you get 1311 01:07:48,640 --> 01:07:52,240 Speaker 1: out gained by one forty against the Commanders, but you 1312 01:07:52,280 --> 01:07:54,600 Speaker 1: get out of there. That really was a great play 1313 01:07:54,680 --> 01:07:56,880 Speaker 1: at the end. But I don't think it's a rule 1314 01:07:57,400 --> 01:08:01,640 Speaker 1: just because you you can get four plays that you 1315 01:08:01,720 --> 01:08:04,760 Speaker 1: have to throw the ball four straight plays because it's 1316 01:08:04,800 --> 01:08:06,720 Speaker 1: Carson Wentz throwing the ball. I know they don't have 1317 01:08:07,600 --> 01:08:09,960 Speaker 1: eight seconds. When they were set up at first and goal. 1318 01:08:10,040 --> 01:08:13,400 Speaker 1: You kind of put Carson Wentz in sort of uh 1319 01:08:13,520 --> 01:08:16,200 Speaker 1: run pass options situation, get him out on the edge 1320 01:08:16,280 --> 01:08:18,760 Speaker 1: on first down, and even if he gets stuck in 1321 01:08:18,800 --> 01:08:21,160 Speaker 1: bounds and makes a bad decision, you can still get 1322 01:08:21,240 --> 01:08:23,679 Speaker 1: up to the line. Like when he was throwing the ball, 1323 01:08:23,760 --> 01:08:26,519 Speaker 1: it was just waiting for the interception. Well, it was good. 1324 01:08:26,600 --> 01:08:28,680 Speaker 1: Reminds me of also like the Thursday night game, the 1325 01:08:28,720 --> 01:08:32,240 Speaker 1: way that ended with Russell Wilson and straight shotgun with 1326 01:08:32,560 --> 01:08:35,439 Speaker 1: no mo no nobody in motion, no run pass option, 1327 01:08:35,479 --> 01:08:37,120 Speaker 1: and you just kind of like put yourself in a 1328 01:08:37,120 --> 01:08:40,040 Speaker 1: tougher situation. And with wins, It's like, why give him 1329 01:08:40,080 --> 01:08:42,960 Speaker 1: so many chances to to mess with you? Where you 1330 01:08:43,280 --> 01:08:45,679 Speaker 1: he's a big guy like head towards the goal line, 1331 01:08:45,760 --> 01:08:48,439 Speaker 1: good things could happen. But that shook you, I guess 1332 01:08:48,760 --> 01:08:51,320 Speaker 1: next shook he great digger. I think the uh the 1333 01:08:51,360 --> 01:08:55,439 Speaker 1: issue that definitely I would have here is yet one 1334 01:08:55,479 --> 01:08:58,200 Speaker 1: total yards for the Titans, less than four yards per play. 1335 01:08:58,240 --> 01:09:01,120 Speaker 1: Derrick Henry looks like denn Derrick Henry, the big dog 1336 01:09:01,200 --> 01:09:03,640 Speaker 1: is still the big dog. Everything else still seems like 1337 01:09:03,680 --> 01:09:05,160 Speaker 1: a lot of work needs to be I came out 1338 01:09:05,160 --> 01:09:07,559 Speaker 1: of this game thinking that the only playmaker the Titans 1339 01:09:07,560 --> 01:09:09,320 Speaker 1: have on offense is Derrick Henry, and I kind of 1340 01:09:09,320 --> 01:09:11,360 Speaker 1: felt that way going in, but after the game it's 1341 01:09:11,400 --> 01:09:13,960 Speaker 1: just so clear they are passing him the ball more. 1342 01:09:14,000 --> 01:09:16,639 Speaker 1: And they had a brilliant screenplay set up to him 1343 01:09:16,680 --> 01:09:19,040 Speaker 1: where Tannehill made a nice throw through traffic to get 1344 01:09:19,080 --> 01:09:21,080 Speaker 1: it to him, and then on the next play they 1345 01:09:21,160 --> 01:09:24,559 Speaker 1: faked a screen to Henry and came back to Dontrell 1346 01:09:24,640 --> 01:09:26,760 Speaker 1: Hilliard on the other side, who ran into the end zone, 1347 01:09:26,760 --> 01:09:28,840 Speaker 1: which was a nice play. The game winning play for 1348 01:09:28,880 --> 01:09:31,799 Speaker 1: the Titans was a downfield strike to Nick Westbrook Akina, 1349 01:09:32,120 --> 01:09:35,639 Speaker 1: which was like the fourth longest play air yards attempt 1350 01:09:35,680 --> 01:09:37,640 Speaker 1: of the season by any team. And it was a 1351 01:09:37,680 --> 01:09:40,960 Speaker 1: weird play because the cornerback for Washington just like stopped 1352 01:09:41,000 --> 01:09:44,720 Speaker 1: covering Westbrook like midway down the field, Like, I don't 1353 01:09:44,720 --> 01:09:46,640 Speaker 1: know what he was looking at. I would like to 1354 01:09:46,680 --> 01:09:50,920 Speaker 1: know why. In the middle of my Saturday I receive 1355 01:09:51,000 --> 01:09:54,760 Speaker 1: a text com with Jessica sitting in my seat here 1356 01:09:54,800 --> 01:09:58,280 Speaker 1: in the studio with an announcement suggesting that she's replacing 1357 01:09:58,320 --> 01:10:00,560 Speaker 1: me on the show because Justin's visit in this the 1358 01:10:01,160 --> 01:10:04,080 Speaker 1: building with family and making plans for the future and 1359 01:10:04,120 --> 01:10:07,200 Speaker 1: the production. Well, we had friends and family visit. That's 1360 01:10:07,200 --> 01:10:09,200 Speaker 1: a cool thing that the NFL office allows us to 1361 01:10:09,240 --> 01:10:11,360 Speaker 1: do on Saturday. So I think Mark has a problem 1362 01:10:11,360 --> 01:10:14,720 Speaker 1: with that part. Seems nice for you, Yes, So I 1363 01:10:14,760 --> 01:10:17,680 Speaker 1: brought my parents and Jessica and uh my friend a 1364 01:10:17,680 --> 01:10:19,360 Speaker 1: couple that are friends with my parents that I've known 1365 01:10:19,400 --> 01:10:22,519 Speaker 1: my whole life here to see the studio. Wonderful you 1366 01:10:22,560 --> 01:10:25,639 Speaker 1: had all concerned Graver that she missed Mark so much 1367 01:10:25,680 --> 01:10:27,960 Speaker 1: she had to like get into a place where she 1368 01:10:27,960 --> 01:10:31,160 Speaker 1: could physically touch something he had touched once. That's fair question, 1369 01:10:31,200 --> 01:10:34,840 Speaker 1: that's a that's an apt query by Greg. I wasn't 1370 01:10:34,920 --> 01:10:38,559 Speaker 1: until you brought that up. The Commanders were one of 1371 01:10:38,600 --> 01:10:41,920 Speaker 1: eleven on third down, including that interception, their last in 1372 01:10:41,960 --> 01:10:44,200 Speaker 1: the NFC East, and you know, and their first they're 1373 01:10:44,240 --> 01:10:47,559 Speaker 1: done conversion was on that two minutes. The old Zeuser 1374 01:10:47,600 --> 01:10:50,600 Speaker 1: got a little lucky there at the end. Never not 1375 01:10:50,680 --> 01:10:54,960 Speaker 1: as lucky as our eagles. Lockers come on um. By 1376 01:10:55,000 --> 01:10:58,639 Speaker 1: the way, speaking of locks, so Zeusers four and one 1377 01:10:58,720 --> 01:11:02,879 Speaker 1: alone in first place. And you know the west Westling brothers, 1378 01:11:03,360 --> 01:11:07,080 Speaker 1: who do they lock? They were they locked the ring? Yeah? 1379 01:11:07,160 --> 01:11:10,880 Speaker 1: You know what? Can we just go over something here now? 1380 01:11:10,920 --> 01:11:14,200 Speaker 1: I'm thinking about it. Nick's Nick's message that we played 1381 01:11:14,240 --> 01:11:17,040 Speaker 1: in the Thursday show, very confident in the message. He 1382 01:11:17,080 --> 01:11:21,080 Speaker 1: mentioned that his brother Mike old Juser fan wanted to 1383 01:11:21,120 --> 01:11:26,519 Speaker 1: pick the Jets, Jets one, Phil Westling I wanted to 1384 01:11:26,520 --> 01:11:33,479 Speaker 1: pick the Chargers. Eddie wanted to pick the Cowboys Nobody's 1385 01:11:33,560 --> 01:11:37,800 Speaker 1: underdog Eddie, and then the decision was made, though Nick 1386 01:11:38,640 --> 01:11:44,040 Speaker 1: chose the Rams. Isn't it maybe time for Nick to 1387 01:11:44,560 --> 01:11:48,120 Speaker 1: almost as a penalty to give up the video duties 1388 01:11:48,240 --> 01:11:50,040 Speaker 1: and the message to the show on Thursday. I think 1389 01:11:50,040 --> 01:11:51,920 Speaker 1: he should be penalized because if you go back and 1390 01:11:51,920 --> 01:11:54,240 Speaker 1: if you go back the listener and listen to the 1391 01:11:54,240 --> 01:11:58,000 Speaker 1: Thursday show, there is certainly an aura of of Hubris. 1392 01:11:58,160 --> 01:12:00,160 Speaker 1: He made fun of Eddie. He says, Eddie's fame us 1393 01:12:00,200 --> 01:12:02,479 Speaker 1: for bad decisions. So I'm just gonna flip the pick 1394 01:12:02,520 --> 01:12:05,200 Speaker 1: and take the like there is no committee work. He's 1395 01:12:05,240 --> 01:12:07,799 Speaker 1: just sort of slammed them all down and chugged them aside. 1396 01:12:07,800 --> 01:12:09,840 Speaker 1: And then he created the only lost possible and and 1397 01:12:10,120 --> 01:12:11,880 Speaker 1: then he goes on Twitter and he and he tried 1398 01:12:11,920 --> 01:12:14,000 Speaker 1: to make a statement, this loss is a d percent 1399 01:12:14,080 --> 01:12:16,519 Speaker 1: on me. Yeah, we know we were there when you 1400 01:12:16,560 --> 01:12:18,519 Speaker 1: made the pick. Of course it's on you, the quarterback 1401 01:12:18,560 --> 01:12:20,880 Speaker 1: that throws it right to the linebackers tapping his chest 1402 01:12:20,920 --> 01:12:24,000 Speaker 1: as he goes back and side. We know, bro uh. 1403 01:12:24,080 --> 01:12:27,759 Speaker 1: We knew that the Charlotte UH football team, the Carolina Panthers, 1404 01:12:28,000 --> 01:12:30,280 Speaker 1: would have a hard time of it on Sunday, And 1405 01:12:30,320 --> 01:12:32,680 Speaker 1: sure enough, that's how it played out. Baker out of 1406 01:12:32,680 --> 01:12:35,240 Speaker 1: the shotgun for man, pressure frows true high. You know, 1407 01:12:36,000 --> 01:12:38,800 Speaker 1: my Emmanuel Mosley running back the other way, got six 1408 01:12:38,880 --> 01:12:47,439 Speaker 1: octen fives like touchdowns Amen where the house call grant 1409 01:12:47,520 --> 01:12:51,639 Speaker 1: Papa with a call k nb are Emmanuel Moseley returned 1410 01:12:51,680 --> 01:12:56,519 Speaker 1: that interception from Baker Mayfield forty one yards for the score, 1411 01:12:56,800 --> 01:12:59,479 Speaker 1: and the Niners coasted to a thirty seven fifteen win 1412 01:13:00,400 --> 01:13:06,040 Speaker 1: over the Panthers. And I wonder if you wonder if 1413 01:13:06,120 --> 01:13:08,000 Speaker 1: Matt Rule, by the time people are listening to this 1414 01:13:08,160 --> 01:13:11,720 Speaker 1: still has a job, because this is another non competitive 1415 01:13:11,760 --> 01:13:15,160 Speaker 1: effort at home. The team is now eleven and twenty 1416 01:13:15,200 --> 01:13:17,479 Speaker 1: seven under Rule, and you you just get the feeling 1417 01:13:18,120 --> 01:13:21,840 Speaker 1: it's getting close for Rule now. So the Niners kind 1418 01:13:21,840 --> 01:13:24,240 Speaker 1: of just took carry get business in this game. Guys, 1419 01:13:24,520 --> 01:13:27,280 Speaker 1: somebody had to watch it. I watched it. Um, they 1420 01:13:27,320 --> 01:13:29,360 Speaker 1: didn't jump off the page to me or jump off 1421 01:13:29,400 --> 01:13:32,680 Speaker 1: the screen. Garoppolo through for two fifty three and two touchdowns. 1422 01:13:32,800 --> 01:13:35,120 Speaker 1: Jeff Wilson ran for a hundred and twenty yards and 1423 01:13:35,200 --> 01:13:39,200 Speaker 1: a touchdowns. It was a mismatch here, um and Carolina 1424 01:13:39,320 --> 01:13:41,519 Speaker 1: just can't get anything going on offense. Baker near the 1425 01:13:41,600 --> 01:13:44,080 Speaker 1: end of the second quarter suffered an ankle injury and 1426 01:13:44,160 --> 01:13:46,680 Speaker 1: was walking around in a boot after the game, and 1427 01:13:47,040 --> 01:13:49,760 Speaker 1: The only thing worse than Baker this season, Mark would 1428 01:13:49,760 --> 01:13:53,440 Speaker 1: be the idea of playing Baker when he's has no mobility. 1429 01:13:54,080 --> 01:13:56,640 Speaker 1: It just goes from bad for worse, for Carolina and 1430 01:13:56,760 --> 01:13:59,040 Speaker 1: for the Niners, and for a grave digger who locked 1431 01:13:59,120 --> 01:14:02,320 Speaker 1: up the Niners. Sometimes you just take care of business, 1432 01:14:02,400 --> 01:14:06,240 Speaker 1: check the box, like um Day by the Niners, Hannah 1433 01:14:06,280 --> 01:14:09,400 Speaker 1: lock for for Grave Digger. I I like I find 1434 01:14:09,439 --> 01:14:13,040 Speaker 1: the Baby Baker Mayfield journey about as depressing as it gets. 1435 01:14:13,120 --> 01:14:16,840 Speaker 1: I find the dark energy around the Panthers um inexcusable. 1436 01:14:16,840 --> 01:14:18,360 Speaker 1: A lot of it has to just do with the 1437 01:14:18,400 --> 01:14:21,200 Speaker 1: way they've handled this quarterback situation for years. It's somehow 1438 01:14:21,280 --> 01:14:25,200 Speaker 1: gotten worse and worse and worse. And this version of 1439 01:14:25,280 --> 01:14:28,400 Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield, I mean, look at it was. There have 1440 01:14:28,479 --> 01:14:31,360 Speaker 1: been no illusions on my behalf of Baker Mayfield that 1441 01:14:31,400 --> 01:14:33,800 Speaker 1: he was a top ten quarterback for a long long time. 1442 01:14:33,840 --> 01:14:36,600 Speaker 1: But we have seen versions of Baker Mayfield throws that 1443 01:14:36,640 --> 01:14:39,000 Speaker 1: he's made in the past, streaks he's been on games 1444 01:14:39,080 --> 01:14:41,559 Speaker 1: like in twenty when he was a pretty flawless quarterback 1445 01:14:41,800 --> 01:14:44,880 Speaker 1: down the stretch. That player, that person is gone right now, 1446 01:14:45,280 --> 01:14:47,680 Speaker 1: and the in the Panthers as part of that are 1447 01:14:47,800 --> 01:14:51,840 Speaker 1: completely floating. Um, this is the hardest team, one of 1448 01:14:51,880 --> 01:14:53,840 Speaker 1: the hardest teams to watch in the league. I call 1449 01:14:54,160 --> 01:14:56,559 Speaker 1: this an empty restaurant game. You know how it's really 1450 01:14:56,600 --> 01:14:59,519 Speaker 1: depressing to eat in an empty restaurant. You know, you 1451 01:14:59,600 --> 01:15:01,880 Speaker 1: got to stay half there and you were you know, 1452 01:15:01,960 --> 01:15:04,479 Speaker 1: it just seems sad because the place isn't doing well. 1453 01:15:04,840 --> 01:15:07,479 Speaker 1: Watching the Panthers right now with their the head coach 1454 01:15:07,560 --> 01:15:10,439 Speaker 1: situation and knowing that the fan base is turned against 1455 01:15:10,479 --> 01:15:12,599 Speaker 1: the quarterback who's not playing well, and they don't even 1456 01:15:12,640 --> 01:15:14,640 Speaker 1: really have someone to turn to. P J Walker got 1457 01:15:14,720 --> 01:15:17,559 Speaker 1: some snaps in garbage time here. It's just a it's 1458 01:15:17,600 --> 01:15:21,920 Speaker 1: just a bad scene. Laying in that game. I saw 1459 01:15:22,040 --> 01:15:25,519 Speaker 1: some tweets and some pictures just like forty Niners fans 1460 01:15:25,600 --> 01:15:28,320 Speaker 1: were still there, Panthers fans were not, and those that 1461 01:15:28,479 --> 01:15:31,240 Speaker 1: sort of image often does happen on your last day. 1462 01:15:31,280 --> 01:15:34,839 Speaker 1: As as as coach, it's too bad for the forty Niners, 1463 01:15:35,160 --> 01:15:39,040 Speaker 1: uh that they were struck again by more really significant 1464 01:15:39,080 --> 01:15:42,400 Speaker 1: injuries in this game. Emmanuel Moseley is believed to have 1465 01:15:42,680 --> 01:15:45,599 Speaker 1: suffered a torn a c L and I really think 1466 01:15:45,760 --> 01:15:48,160 Speaker 1: one huge difference this year is their secondary has been 1467 01:15:48,200 --> 01:15:50,800 Speaker 1: better chart various word has been a fantastic pickup and 1468 01:15:50,880 --> 01:15:53,479 Speaker 1: Mosley has been a rock solid cornerback right next to him, 1469 01:15:53,479 --> 01:15:54,720 Speaker 1: and I think they're gonna lose him for the year. 1470 01:15:54,800 --> 01:15:57,920 Speaker 1: Robbie Gold got hurt. Jimmy Ward broke his hand. Uh 1471 01:15:58,640 --> 01:16:02,920 Speaker 1: h hurt like two seven. He could probably have some 1472 01:16:03,080 --> 01:16:05,160 Speaker 1: you know, he can come back from that. And it's 1473 01:16:05,200 --> 01:16:07,360 Speaker 1: too bad because otherwise there's a lot of positives for 1474 01:16:07,400 --> 01:16:08,880 Speaker 1: this game. They ran the ball well. They had three 1475 01:16:09,000 --> 01:16:11,720 Speaker 1: or four long offensive drives which they actually haven't done 1476 01:16:11,760 --> 01:16:14,760 Speaker 1: all years against decent defense. Like it was a great 1477 01:16:14,800 --> 01:16:17,840 Speaker 1: game for them, but just more injuries. All right, let's 1478 01:16:17,880 --> 01:16:21,680 Speaker 1: take a break. We'll be right back. All right. The 1479 01:16:21,800 --> 01:16:25,519 Speaker 1: Packers went down opportunity for the Vikings and they get 1480 01:16:25,600 --> 01:16:27,679 Speaker 1: the Bears take care of business. Let's see what happened 1481 01:16:28,560 --> 01:16:31,840 Speaker 1: at US Bank Stadium fields back to pass, grows left, 1482 01:16:31,920 --> 01:16:35,719 Speaker 1: it's hot you meyr Smith marsh back against his former team, 1483 01:16:37,400 --> 01:16:45,960 Speaker 1: stole a little. He slides down down for rick balls 1484 01:16:46,040 --> 01:16:49,880 Speaker 1: for him from his former teammate him mayor Smip Corsat, 1485 01:16:50,400 --> 01:16:55,200 Speaker 1: and he has stolen. Oh, push your cogo Bears head. 1486 01:16:55,760 --> 01:16:59,760 Speaker 1: But Vikings are gonna win. And they did fall out 1487 01:16:59,880 --> 01:17:02,880 Speaker 1: the call k f A and there are there are 1488 01:17:02,920 --> 01:17:06,160 Speaker 1: two listeners that know I'm referencing the nineteen nine Hull 1489 01:17:06,240 --> 01:17:13,439 Speaker 1: Colgan movie. Anyway, Cameron Danceler sealed the victory for the Vikings, 1490 01:17:15,240 --> 01:17:19,000 Speaker 1: ripping the ball away from former teammate amer Smith Marsette 1491 01:17:19,120 --> 01:17:22,960 Speaker 1: near the one minute mark. It's sealed the win for 1492 01:17:23,080 --> 01:17:27,160 Speaker 1: the Vikings. Over for at least one Sunday. The Feisty Bears, Oh, 1493 01:17:27,240 --> 01:17:30,120 Speaker 1: we did factor in feisty. That could be a third 1494 01:17:30,240 --> 01:17:34,680 Speaker 1: christis feisty, spicy. We should do tears. I think my 1495 01:17:34,840 --> 01:17:36,840 Speaker 1: least of intriguing of the of the bunch. I think 1496 01:17:36,880 --> 01:17:39,160 Speaker 1: I think we all are in agreement. That's it's a 1497 01:17:39,240 --> 01:17:41,320 Speaker 1: it's a step. But anyway, Mark, so this game was 1498 01:17:41,640 --> 01:17:45,960 Speaker 1: interesting because it wasn't interesting. The Vikings were cruising and 1499 01:17:46,040 --> 01:17:48,840 Speaker 1: then as the Vikings do, they let the opponent back in. 1500 01:17:49,000 --> 01:17:51,400 Speaker 1: I'm gonna step in here for Mark, because I was 1501 01:17:51,439 --> 01:17:54,400 Speaker 1: assigned to this game and I enjoyed it. I watched 1502 01:17:54,439 --> 01:17:59,160 Speaker 1: it in the late window. Uh yeah, I was in 1503 01:17:59,240 --> 01:18:05,840 Speaker 1: a panic. Always please help me. I would have said 1504 01:18:05,840 --> 01:18:10,680 Speaker 1: that you don't have to. If you don't have you know, 1505 01:18:10,800 --> 01:18:15,880 Speaker 1: you could follow this. They dug his own dug my 1506 01:18:15,960 --> 01:18:19,360 Speaker 1: own grave on that one. O. You gotta give that, 1507 01:18:19,479 --> 01:18:21,680 Speaker 1: yeah that you gotta get the Vikings some credit. They 1508 01:18:21,720 --> 01:18:27,280 Speaker 1: are extremely streaky. Kirk Cousins is maybe the most streaky 1509 01:18:27,360 --> 01:18:30,560 Speaker 1: quarterback in the NFL in general. He can get on 1510 01:18:30,640 --> 01:18:34,000 Speaker 1: hot streaks where he's incredible started, you know, seventeen for 1511 01:18:34,160 --> 01:18:37,519 Speaker 1: seventeen in this game, some beautiful touch passes, and then 1512 01:18:37,600 --> 01:18:40,519 Speaker 1: they can go through total quiet periods. But you gotta admit, 1513 01:18:41,200 --> 01:18:45,840 Speaker 1: when they've absolutely needed a drive this season, they've gotten it. 1514 01:18:46,360 --> 01:18:49,680 Speaker 1: When they've absolutely needed to stop this season, got it, 1515 01:18:50,080 --> 01:18:51,960 Speaker 1: They've got it. And that's why they're three and oh 1516 01:18:52,040 --> 01:18:55,080 Speaker 1: in these one score games, and that's why they don't 1517 01:18:55,160 --> 01:18:56,920 Speaker 1: feel like they should be four and one. But they 1518 01:18:56,960 --> 01:19:00,560 Speaker 1: were clearly the better team uh this afternoon, and I 1519 01:19:00,680 --> 01:19:02,720 Speaker 1: think they deserved this. But I don't apologize for But 1520 01:19:02,840 --> 01:19:06,800 Speaker 1: also I just the slow EBB for Justin Jefferson a 1521 01:19:06,880 --> 01:19:09,080 Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago. He's broken out of that because 1522 01:19:09,080 --> 01:19:14,080 Speaker 1: he exploded in London twelve catches stay. I think when 1523 01:19:14,160 --> 01:19:17,240 Speaker 1: that's happening, then I think Kirk Cousins can overcome his 1524 01:19:17,360 --> 01:19:19,160 Speaker 1: streakiness to some degree. If you're gonna get this out 1525 01:19:19,160 --> 01:19:23,519 Speaker 1: of Jefferson Yeah. But here this is an interesting quote 1526 01:19:23,560 --> 01:19:26,000 Speaker 1: from Cousins. That's what he said after the game. I'm 1527 01:19:26,040 --> 01:19:27,799 Speaker 1: not where I was at the end of last season 1528 01:19:27,880 --> 01:19:30,840 Speaker 1: in that old system, but we're developing it and we're 1529 01:19:30,880 --> 01:19:34,080 Speaker 1: getting there, and I'm excited about that continued growth. It's 1530 01:19:34,080 --> 01:19:36,120 Speaker 1: a start, that's all it is. Though it is a 1531 01:19:36,160 --> 01:19:39,160 Speaker 1: new offense they that makes sense to me. Uh. He 1532 01:19:39,280 --> 01:19:42,320 Speaker 1: also had a bad interception that was part of this comeback. 1533 01:19:42,520 --> 01:19:45,240 Speaker 1: At that point, it was twenty one nineteen the Vikings, 1534 01:19:45,520 --> 01:19:47,840 Speaker 1: and it looked like they might blow this game. They were, 1535 01:19:47,880 --> 01:19:50,679 Speaker 1: they were up twenty one to three at halftime. Justin 1536 01:19:50,720 --> 01:19:53,080 Speaker 1: Fields definitely at his best day throwing the ball. They 1537 01:19:53,200 --> 01:19:56,200 Speaker 1: protected him really well. So there were some encouraging signs, 1538 01:19:56,800 --> 01:19:59,000 Speaker 1: uh for the Bears. But like I said, like they 1539 01:19:59,080 --> 01:20:02,280 Speaker 1: were down, they were down one. Okay, Vikings, you've kind 1540 01:20:02,320 --> 01:20:03,960 Speaker 1: of got pushed back. What are you gonna do? And 1541 01:20:04,040 --> 01:20:07,040 Speaker 1: they just marched right down the field a dominant drive. 1542 01:20:07,120 --> 01:20:10,599 Speaker 1: Jefferson gets the two point conversion. Like Cousins, made really 1543 01:20:10,680 --> 01:20:13,559 Speaker 1: nice throws when he absolutely needed to justin fields, check 1544 01:20:13,600 --> 01:20:18,680 Speaker 1: in before we move in. Yeah, he played well the 1545 01:20:18,800 --> 01:20:23,479 Speaker 1: first half. Not so throws for two eight yards. He 1546 01:20:23,720 --> 01:20:26,599 Speaker 1: was he had he was back there cooking steaks. Uh, 1547 01:20:26,920 --> 01:20:29,439 Speaker 1: so that that helped that he was protected really well. 1548 01:20:29,800 --> 01:20:33,160 Speaker 1: But had That's like the new phrase kids are saying that. 1549 01:20:33,280 --> 01:20:35,400 Speaker 1: Kids are saying these they're back they're cooking steaks. That 1550 01:20:35,479 --> 01:20:37,759 Speaker 1: they were saying that about a quarterback being well protected 1551 01:20:37,880 --> 01:20:42,320 Speaker 1: or something else. They're no, they're talking about quarterbacks that 1552 01:20:42,439 --> 01:20:46,479 Speaker 1: are not. No. I don't know if they're they're gonna 1553 01:20:46,479 --> 01:20:49,639 Speaker 1: say he kicked up. Also, there was like a play 1554 01:20:49,720 --> 01:20:52,000 Speaker 1: he ran on that got overturned by penalty that just 1555 01:20:52,160 --> 01:20:54,760 Speaker 1: reminded me, gosh, you gotta get dustin fields. In the 1556 01:20:54,800 --> 01:20:57,880 Speaker 1: open field running it is fearsome when he has a 1557 01:20:58,840 --> 01:21:01,599 Speaker 1: had a steam behind him. Kevin O'Connell in his bag 1558 01:21:01,680 --> 01:21:03,799 Speaker 1: in this game, I mean they were they were trick players. 1559 01:21:03,880 --> 01:21:06,240 Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson had a nice pass. There's like a push 1560 01:21:06,320 --> 01:21:08,920 Speaker 1: pass the reagor like everything was working for a little while. 1561 01:21:08,960 --> 01:21:12,679 Speaker 1: Anybody on the Minnesota defense that might fit the mold 1562 01:21:12,760 --> 01:21:15,040 Speaker 1: for Mark having a guy I would not go inc 1563 01:21:15,200 --> 01:21:16,880 Speaker 1: north Al. I thought, you're gonna say, is there anyone 1564 01:21:16,960 --> 01:21:18,920 Speaker 1: kiked up on the Vikings defense? I was like, I'm 1565 01:21:18,920 --> 01:21:22,480 Speaker 1: gonna have tother is I'm sure that they're they're fit individuals. 1566 01:21:22,720 --> 01:21:24,360 Speaker 1: All right, we'll run it out of games to find 1567 01:21:24,400 --> 01:21:26,800 Speaker 1: a guy from Mark. I mean, Cameron Danzler is having 1568 01:21:26,840 --> 01:21:29,120 Speaker 1: a year for sure. He's like you, you don't need 1569 01:21:29,160 --> 01:21:32,080 Speaker 1: to organize this. This is not it's not how this works. 1570 01:21:33,040 --> 01:21:36,639 Speaker 1: You don't overrating my interest in in in the whole 1571 01:21:36,680 --> 01:21:42,080 Speaker 1: thing too. That's had to Jacksonville. Second and goal, inside 1572 01:21:42,160 --> 01:21:45,840 Speaker 1: the long Pierce to loan back Mills under center, off 1573 01:21:46,320 --> 01:21:49,679 Speaker 1: handoff Pierce to the goal line. He's in the text sense, 1574 01:21:49,760 --> 01:21:53,960 Speaker 1: take the lead, AH one yard touchdown run by Damian Pierce. 1575 01:21:54,720 --> 01:22:00,360 Speaker 1: Welcome back to Gator Country. Banging Mark Van a mirror. 1576 01:22:00,520 --> 01:22:02,880 Speaker 1: That's the first time we've heard his voice. K I 1577 01:22:03,280 --> 01:22:05,560 Speaker 1: L T. Damien Pierce ran for ninety nine and a 1578 01:22:05,680 --> 01:22:09,439 Speaker 1: touch a score that was set up by a twenty 1579 01:22:09,520 --> 01:22:12,599 Speaker 1: yard run in which he broke not one, not two, 1580 01:22:12,800 --> 01:22:15,920 Speaker 1: not three, not four, not by but six tackles, and 1581 01:22:16,000 --> 01:22:19,320 Speaker 1: it helped allow the Texans to beat the Jaguars six. 1582 01:22:20,040 --> 01:22:24,200 Speaker 1: They've won nine straight against the Jags. Um, it's preposterous, Mark, 1583 01:22:24,320 --> 01:22:26,439 Speaker 1: Is this your game? Yes? It is okay. My my 1584 01:22:27,160 --> 01:22:30,240 Speaker 1: system has been shaken. I'm powering through. It. Sounds like 1585 01:22:30,320 --> 01:22:33,080 Speaker 1: yet another masterpiece from the a f C South Division. Uh, 1586 01:22:33,200 --> 01:22:35,719 Speaker 1: this was I felt like this game was roughly eleven 1587 01:22:35,760 --> 01:22:37,960 Speaker 1: and a half hours long. Um, when you get one 1588 01:22:37,960 --> 01:22:40,080 Speaker 1: of these in the early window, it can affect your Sunday. 1589 01:22:40,160 --> 01:22:42,040 Speaker 1: I did not allow it to. I just let it be. 1590 01:22:42,680 --> 01:22:47,560 Speaker 1: But here's the thing. The Texans like if you squint occasionally, 1591 01:22:47,600 --> 01:22:48,920 Speaker 1: you can kind of see what they're trying to do 1592 01:22:49,040 --> 01:22:51,960 Speaker 1: with their offense. Because Nico Collins, who we've talked about 1593 01:22:51,960 --> 01:22:55,080 Speaker 1: a lot like, I don't think it's been largely invisible 1594 01:22:55,120 --> 01:22:57,120 Speaker 1: this season compared to what I thought, made a couple 1595 01:22:57,120 --> 01:23:00,240 Speaker 1: of big catches in this. Davis Mills made a couple 1596 01:23:00,280 --> 01:23:02,320 Speaker 1: of nice throws. He also did not play well for 1597 01:23:02,360 --> 01:23:04,559 Speaker 1: big chunks of this. But Damian Pierce is the real deal. 1598 01:23:04,880 --> 01:23:07,120 Speaker 1: The bigger story for me, though, is it was another 1599 01:23:07,200 --> 01:23:09,720 Speaker 1: case study of the Jaguars who have been really up 1600 01:23:09,720 --> 01:23:12,360 Speaker 1: and down, not being able to close. They at one 1601 01:23:12,400 --> 01:23:15,800 Speaker 1: point had a drive where they went nine plays sixty 1602 01:23:15,840 --> 01:23:19,280 Speaker 1: eight yards to the Houston seven, and then Trevor Lawrence 1603 01:23:19,400 --> 01:23:22,720 Speaker 1: rows an absolutely terrible interception to Derek Stingley. He's the 1604 01:23:22,800 --> 01:23:25,240 Speaker 1: reason sometimes a lot of times these drives don't fit. 1605 01:23:25,520 --> 01:23:28,320 Speaker 1: James Robinson stuffed on fourth and one. They were owing 1606 01:23:28,400 --> 01:23:30,280 Speaker 1: three on third down the four. The last of those 1607 01:23:30,680 --> 01:23:33,400 Speaker 1: was fourth and ten, one forty one left there, down 1608 01:23:33,479 --> 01:23:37,639 Speaker 1: thirteen six, Trevor Lawrence fires the ball off target. Game over. Essentially, 1609 01:23:37,680 --> 01:23:39,200 Speaker 1: Houston closed it out from there. And it's just like 1610 01:23:39,680 --> 01:23:42,519 Speaker 1: I it's not a weekly referendum on Trevor Lawrence. I 1611 01:23:42,560 --> 01:23:45,240 Speaker 1: know we're not allowed gonna you don't want a week 1612 01:23:45,479 --> 01:23:48,600 Speaker 1: referendum Lawrence because but if we're gonna do that with 1613 01:23:48,920 --> 01:23:50,680 Speaker 1: every other young quarterback to some of gree it's just 1614 01:23:50,720 --> 01:23:53,040 Speaker 1: like he's there were a couple of really good weeks 1615 01:23:53,080 --> 01:23:54,960 Speaker 1: where you started to see progress, but he was back 1616 01:23:55,000 --> 01:23:57,200 Speaker 1: in the place today where I thought he's just missing 1617 01:23:57,360 --> 01:24:02,240 Speaker 1: Keith throws in the games. Maybe maybe I was more 1618 01:24:02,360 --> 01:24:05,960 Speaker 1: speaking about last week, you know, with the conditions and whatnot. 1619 01:24:06,200 --> 01:24:09,120 Speaker 1: Maybe he was taking easy with the referendum. But this 1620 01:24:09,320 --> 01:24:11,559 Speaker 1: was set up well for Lawrence to have a great game. 1621 01:24:11,640 --> 01:24:14,360 Speaker 1: He's home, he's against the Texans, the only winless team 1622 01:24:14,400 --> 01:24:17,880 Speaker 1: in the league, and to play poorly. Yeah, you if 1623 01:24:17,920 --> 01:24:19,960 Speaker 1: you're if you're a Jaguars fan that was sold on 1624 01:24:20,120 --> 01:24:23,719 Speaker 1: generational guy, here I am doing it now. You're expecting 1625 01:24:23,800 --> 01:24:25,880 Speaker 1: him to play better than he played today. They did 1626 01:24:25,960 --> 01:24:28,320 Speaker 1: have four D twenty two yards of offense like Travisy 1627 01:24:28,439 --> 01:24:30,800 Speaker 1: Tien a couple of big runs. I mean again, you 1628 01:24:30,880 --> 01:24:32,920 Speaker 1: can squint and see it with both these teams. But 1629 01:24:33,040 --> 01:24:36,200 Speaker 1: the Texans put up thirteen points. If you told the 1630 01:24:36,280 --> 01:24:38,040 Speaker 1: Jaguars you're gonna have it to deal with, you have 1631 01:24:38,080 --> 01:24:40,920 Speaker 1: to overcome thirteen points, and you can't do it. You 1632 01:24:41,000 --> 01:24:43,479 Speaker 1: put up six passes, just sale on Lawrence and that's 1633 01:24:43,520 --> 01:24:45,439 Speaker 1: what happened to him on a couple of open throws, 1634 01:24:45,520 --> 01:24:48,320 Speaker 1: and that that's a recurring issue going back to last year. 1635 01:24:48,360 --> 01:24:50,040 Speaker 1: That that was like the one thing where I was like, 1636 01:24:50,439 --> 01:24:52,519 Speaker 1: I'm not blaming that on urban Meyer when he's just 1637 01:24:52,840 --> 01:24:55,400 Speaker 1: drops back to passing sales passes, and that that's happened 1638 01:24:55,400 --> 01:24:57,400 Speaker 1: a little too much. In all three of their losses 1639 01:24:57,520 --> 01:25:00,240 Speaker 1: Dan he had an interception or a turn over in 1640 01:25:00,280 --> 01:25:02,960 Speaker 1: the final possession when they were trying to drive. Not 1641 01:25:03,080 --> 01:25:05,240 Speaker 1: a good look, Grave Digger. I'm starting to think now 1642 01:25:05,600 --> 01:25:08,120 Speaker 1: we'll see the Jaguars have had some good moments early 1643 01:25:08,200 --> 01:25:10,360 Speaker 1: on this year too, but the last two weeks have 1644 01:25:10,479 --> 01:25:14,720 Speaker 1: been pretty dire. Um. If the Jaguars continue along this path, 1645 01:25:15,760 --> 01:25:18,000 Speaker 1: you could win the a f C South with seven wins. 1646 01:25:18,920 --> 01:25:21,840 Speaker 1: Well today, the three weeks from now, Colts are back 1647 01:25:21,880 --> 01:25:24,640 Speaker 1: in second place, just like we all expected preseason, the 1648 01:25:24,720 --> 01:25:28,160 Speaker 1: Jaguars third, Texans fourth, like everything that happened the week 1649 01:25:28,240 --> 01:25:31,400 Speaker 1: the Jaguars to take that step, and we were all 1650 01:25:31,520 --> 01:25:33,920 Speaker 1: feeling like that was gonna happen. And now you're right 1651 01:25:33,960 --> 01:25:36,439 Speaker 1: back to wondering if there's still the Jaguars. And now 1652 01:25:36,479 --> 01:25:39,080 Speaker 1: the Colts played the Jaguars next week, and then the Cults, 1653 01:25:40,880 --> 01:25:43,599 Speaker 1: and now we've got the rarest of all rare things. 1654 01:25:43,680 --> 01:25:47,920 Speaker 1: We've got some trade breaking news during the show. A 1655 01:25:48,080 --> 01:25:51,400 Speaker 1: trade on a Sunday night, justin Graver breaking news to 1656 01:25:51,520 --> 01:25:53,719 Speaker 1: these two teams. That would be even more I wish, 1657 01:25:53,880 --> 01:25:58,439 Speaker 1: But the Browns are acquiring former Pro Bowl linebacker Dion 1658 01:25:58,640 --> 01:26:02,040 Speaker 1: Jones from the Falcons, Nick stains for a late round 1659 01:26:02,320 --> 01:26:06,240 Speaker 1: draft pick. Probably solved. They have injury issues at linebacker. 1660 01:26:06,320 --> 01:26:08,080 Speaker 1: I mean, and they and they they're getting run over 1661 01:26:08,160 --> 01:26:10,960 Speaker 1: like they are. So Jones we talked about throughout the summer. 1662 01:26:11,080 --> 01:26:14,120 Speaker 1: Is he gonna get moved or cut? He does get moved, 1663 01:26:14,160 --> 01:26:17,240 Speaker 1: just in October and not August. The subject of about 1664 01:26:17,280 --> 01:26:19,720 Speaker 1: four hundred words that I wrote at halftime of the 1665 01:26:19,840 --> 01:26:25,280 Speaker 1: Falcons Patriots Super Bowl Dion Jones and there you go, Mark, 1666 01:26:26,240 --> 01:26:28,360 Speaker 1: what in what way? I don't know you have Maybe 1667 01:26:28,400 --> 01:26:30,559 Speaker 1: the on Jones will tap into the fountain of youth 1668 01:26:30,600 --> 01:26:33,360 Speaker 1: and be that game change where he was. Maybe he was. 1669 01:26:33,560 --> 01:26:35,479 Speaker 1: I just like the idea that they like went home 1670 01:26:35,560 --> 01:26:37,560 Speaker 1: after the game and they're like making a trade on 1671 01:26:37,800 --> 01:26:42,400 Speaker 1: Sunday night. Never seen that yards rushing this week? Still 1672 01:26:42,439 --> 01:26:48,120 Speaker 1: get married, Mary, Kay, cabin off my back, says your boy. 1673 01:26:48,560 --> 01:26:50,400 Speaker 1: And she was probably home having a glass of wine 1674 01:26:50,400 --> 01:26:52,160 Speaker 1: at this point, and then she's back on the on 1675 01:26:52,280 --> 01:26:55,160 Speaker 1: the right. I gotta sit down and write eight hundred 1676 01:26:55,160 --> 01:26:58,760 Speaker 1: words on this, please. I'm all right, one more game. 1677 01:26:58,840 --> 01:27:01,599 Speaker 1: Let's hit Sunday night, pup. It will be a forty 1678 01:27:01,680 --> 01:27:05,920 Speaker 1: three yard field goal attempt for Justin Tucker. Snap is good, 1679 01:27:06,200 --> 01:27:08,800 Speaker 1: hold us down, kick on the way it is up. 1680 01:27:09,400 --> 01:27:15,479 Speaker 1: It is good. Time I was expired and handing the ball. 1681 01:27:16,840 --> 01:27:20,439 Speaker 1: What a night for the Ravens. They come back to 1682 01:27:20,640 --> 01:27:25,920 Speaker 1: beat the Bengals nineteen seventeen, and they do it on 1683 01:27:26,000 --> 01:27:31,200 Speaker 1: the right foot of Justin Tucker. Was there ever a doubt? 1684 01:27:31,960 --> 01:27:38,080 Speaker 1: Not here Justin Tucker. And here's the thing about Justin Tucker. 1685 01:27:39,520 --> 01:27:41,519 Speaker 1: When Justin Tucker makes a field goal, it doesn't just 1686 01:27:41,680 --> 01:27:46,560 Speaker 1: go through the uprights, it splits him. You could mathematically 1687 01:27:46,680 --> 01:27:49,599 Speaker 1: measure each side and it will be a perfect split 1688 01:27:49,640 --> 01:27:52,840 Speaker 1: of the uprights. He did it again, Bangs at home 1689 01:27:53,040 --> 01:27:57,719 Speaker 1: from forties three was forty three. It was the difference 1690 01:27:57,880 --> 01:28:02,559 Speaker 1: was the final play of the game. Ravens nineteen Bengals seventeen. Uh. 1691 01:28:02,680 --> 01:28:06,679 Speaker 1: Tucker got that opportunity because Lamar Jackson and the Ravens 1692 01:28:06,760 --> 01:28:10,559 Speaker 1: offense took over in their final possession and was able 1693 01:28:10,600 --> 01:28:14,439 Speaker 1: to march the mark fifty yards into field goal range 1694 01:28:14,479 --> 01:28:18,880 Speaker 1: in two minutes. And that came after Mark Joe Burrow, 1695 01:28:19,439 --> 01:28:21,720 Speaker 1: with Tee Higgins sideline with a knee issue and an 1696 01:28:21,960 --> 01:28:25,920 Speaker 1: inability to tack down field, still put together a thirteen 1697 01:28:25,960 --> 01:28:30,799 Speaker 1: place seventy five yard drive that gave Cincinnati the lead briefly, 1698 01:28:31,680 --> 01:28:34,400 Speaker 1: but they couldn't hold on. So Cincinnati two and three 1699 01:28:34,439 --> 01:28:37,320 Speaker 1: Baltimore three two to me a very a f C 1700 01:28:37,439 --> 01:28:41,040 Speaker 1: North game. It doesn't change that much what I think 1701 01:28:41,040 --> 01:28:43,600 Speaker 1: about either club. I mean, I think as much of 1702 01:28:43,880 --> 01:28:49,200 Speaker 1: the Bengals fifteen play seventy three d yard marks a long, 1703 01:28:49,320 --> 01:28:52,040 Speaker 1: slow drive. Well, no, I mean so that actually to 1704 01:28:52,160 --> 01:28:54,720 Speaker 1: me felt like a major lost opportunity. It ends on 1705 01:28:54,880 --> 01:28:57,479 Speaker 1: downs like they leave points on the board. They opened 1706 01:28:57,520 --> 01:28:59,720 Speaker 1: with four punts. I came out of the scene that 1707 01:28:59,800 --> 01:29:03,040 Speaker 1: at Cincinnati had moved away from some of their issues, 1708 01:29:03,120 --> 01:29:06,240 Speaker 1: their offensive line issues, and that was not the case tonight. 1709 01:29:06,280 --> 01:29:08,760 Speaker 1: I mean, like lay All Collins at one point was 1710 01:29:09,080 --> 01:29:11,320 Speaker 1: you know, he had Zach Taylor grabbing him by the 1711 01:29:11,320 --> 01:29:12,840 Speaker 1: waist trying to talk to him up and down the 1712 01:29:12,880 --> 01:29:15,679 Speaker 1: sideline after a messy series. Think that was that fourth 1713 01:29:15,760 --> 01:29:19,040 Speaker 1: down play that college. Don't know what that was about. 1714 01:29:19,120 --> 01:29:21,000 Speaker 1: That could have been just Collins was fired up because 1715 01:29:21,000 --> 01:29:23,040 Speaker 1: the play call was so bad, or it was college 1716 01:29:23,960 --> 01:29:27,639 Speaker 1: Chris Collinswood said that perhaps he ran the wrong play 1717 01:29:27,920 --> 01:29:31,560 Speaker 1: Collins he was JPP came in and took care of 1718 01:29:31,760 --> 01:29:34,000 Speaker 1: all Collins just like that. It was a messy Bengals 1719 01:29:34,080 --> 01:29:36,160 Speaker 1: game That kind of reopens the questions of like, why 1720 01:29:36,240 --> 01:29:38,960 Speaker 1: does this offense look so completely different than it did 1721 01:29:39,040 --> 01:29:40,800 Speaker 1: last year when they also had line issue. But they 1722 01:29:41,160 --> 01:29:44,000 Speaker 1: did run the ball much better tonight. Joe Mixon looked 1723 01:29:44,040 --> 01:29:46,759 Speaker 1: like he had juice for the first time all season. 1724 01:29:46,880 --> 01:29:49,200 Speaker 1: I at no point if I felt like They've solved 1725 01:29:49,200 --> 01:29:51,240 Speaker 1: their offensive problems. They hit a couple of big plays 1726 01:29:51,240 --> 01:29:54,000 Speaker 1: against the Dolphins. The Ravens, on the other hand, though, 1727 01:29:54,080 --> 01:29:56,880 Speaker 1: I think are solving their defensive problems. Really since Marcus 1728 01:29:56,920 --> 01:29:59,680 Speaker 1: Peters got healthy and back in the lineup, they've been 1729 01:29:59,720 --> 01:30:02,120 Speaker 1: pretty be competent now the last couple of weeks. And 1730 01:30:02,680 --> 01:30:05,439 Speaker 1: this was Lamar Jackson's worst game of the season. I 1731 01:30:05,479 --> 01:30:08,040 Speaker 1: don't even think there's a question. And yet when he 1732 01:30:08,120 --> 01:30:11,120 Speaker 1: gets the ball at the end that drive is too quick, 1733 01:30:11,160 --> 01:30:14,040 Speaker 1: throws to Mark Andrews and then Lamar running the ball 1734 01:30:14,160 --> 01:30:17,160 Speaker 1: four out of five times. He is a unique problem. Yeah, 1735 01:30:17,240 --> 01:30:19,360 Speaker 1: you can start backing up your defense. It was like 1736 01:30:19,439 --> 01:30:21,640 Speaker 1: they're putting seven defensive backs on the field on that 1737 01:30:21,760 --> 01:30:24,080 Speaker 1: last drive and Lamar just runs up the gup and 1738 01:30:24,200 --> 01:30:26,880 Speaker 1: if he didn't get tripped up by his buddy DuVernay, 1739 01:30:27,200 --> 01:30:29,560 Speaker 1: he might have run in for a touchdown. Yeah, and 1740 01:30:30,040 --> 01:30:32,760 Speaker 1: John Harbor obviously took a ton of heat UH for 1741 01:30:33,240 --> 01:30:36,600 Speaker 1: his decision to go for the touchdown against Buffalo on 1742 01:30:36,800 --> 01:30:39,000 Speaker 1: fourth down. It didn't work out, and then they lose 1743 01:30:39,120 --> 01:30:42,400 Speaker 1: that game. In this game, bleeding into the game winning 1744 01:30:42,720 --> 01:30:47,679 Speaker 1: possession Baltimore's previous UH possession, they had marched to essentially 1745 01:30:47,760 --> 01:30:49,640 Speaker 1: what the goal line they were inside the tenure with 1746 01:30:49,760 --> 01:30:52,320 Speaker 1: the three, they were the three yard line, fourth in 1747 01:30:52,360 --> 01:30:55,799 Speaker 1: about half a yard, and in that case they decided 1748 01:30:55,800 --> 01:30:58,200 Speaker 1: to try to draw Cincinnati off sides and kick the 1749 01:30:58,280 --> 01:31:01,120 Speaker 1: field goal. So I think Ball got it wrong both weeks. 1750 01:31:01,160 --> 01:31:03,840 Speaker 1: I think you should have kicked the field goal in 1751 01:31:04,000 --> 01:31:06,519 Speaker 1: week four and went for the touchdown in week five. 1752 01:31:06,640 --> 01:31:09,200 Speaker 1: He doesn't. It ends up not costing him, but if 1753 01:31:09,240 --> 01:31:12,719 Speaker 1: it did, it would have been another another postgame press 1754 01:31:12,760 --> 01:31:15,519 Speaker 1: conference where Harbus taking a ton of heat. But thank 1755 01:31:15,600 --> 01:31:19,760 Speaker 1: god for for Justin Tucker because that's part of the 1756 01:31:19,840 --> 01:31:22,040 Speaker 1: greatness of Tucker and everybody. You know, Dan's always on 1757 01:31:22,120 --> 01:31:23,760 Speaker 1: one about the kickers and all this on the show. 1758 01:31:23,880 --> 01:31:26,760 Speaker 1: But like with Tucker, people need to understand that this 1759 01:31:27,040 --> 01:31:32,000 Speaker 1: is this is this is one of the great players 1760 01:31:32,160 --> 01:31:36,640 Speaker 1: in NFL history, um doing his thing. So when you 1761 01:31:36,800 --> 01:31:39,599 Speaker 1: take over down one point, you know, all we need 1762 01:31:39,680 --> 01:31:44,320 Speaker 1: to do is get within Even he hit a fifty 1763 01:31:44,360 --> 01:31:46,200 Speaker 1: eight yard or in this game as well, Justin Tucker, 1764 01:31:46,600 --> 01:31:48,760 Speaker 1: just give him a chance and you'll win. And there's 1765 01:31:48,800 --> 01:31:51,240 Speaker 1: no other team that has that weapon. When there's teams 1766 01:31:51,320 --> 01:31:53,720 Speaker 1: this week especially that have the opposite of that. The 1767 01:31:53,760 --> 01:31:56,960 Speaker 1: Browns lost the game on a missed botched last second 1768 01:31:57,000 --> 01:31:59,280 Speaker 1: field goal. The Cardinals went down in flames because of it. 1769 01:31:59,479 --> 01:32:03,240 Speaker 1: I mean, there's back up, an incompetent kicking happening the 1770 01:32:03,320 --> 01:32:07,040 Speaker 1: extra point and you're you're to McPherson is like, it's 1771 01:32:07,120 --> 01:32:09,000 Speaker 1: not been his money for him this season. It's been 1772 01:32:09,000 --> 01:32:11,280 Speaker 1: a little bit more of a challenge. Tucker never has 1773 01:32:11,400 --> 01:32:14,559 Speaker 1: those slumps, right, And I think it's just a massive 1774 01:32:14,640 --> 01:32:16,960 Speaker 1: win for the Ravens. It's a bigger win for the 1775 01:32:17,080 --> 01:32:18,920 Speaker 1: Ravens than it would have been than it is a 1776 01:32:19,040 --> 01:32:21,120 Speaker 1: loss for the Bengals, just because the way this season 1777 01:32:21,160 --> 01:32:24,679 Speaker 1: has gone. They've they've looked like a good team this year, 1778 01:32:25,040 --> 01:32:27,439 Speaker 1: but the way that they've lost those two games, coughing 1779 01:32:27,560 --> 01:32:29,280 Speaker 1: up big leads, and they were up ten nothing in 1780 01:32:29,360 --> 01:32:33,800 Speaker 1: this game too, and Lamar had an ugly interception which 1781 01:32:33,880 --> 01:32:36,160 Speaker 1: really changed the game, and then he missed two wide 1782 01:32:36,240 --> 01:32:39,439 Speaker 1: open deep shots early in the second half. So it's 1783 01:32:39,479 --> 01:32:43,360 Speaker 1: just so they it was just a game they would 1784 01:32:43,400 --> 01:32:46,559 Speaker 1: have been kicking themselves big time, especially after the Bengals 1785 01:32:46,560 --> 01:32:49,479 Speaker 1: swept them a year ago. Said to pull it out. 1786 01:32:49,600 --> 01:32:52,080 Speaker 1: I think it just calms this season down for them, 1787 01:32:52,160 --> 01:32:54,920 Speaker 1: a season that they just keep having injury problems, Marcus 1788 01:32:54,960 --> 01:32:57,680 Speaker 1: Williams left this game, but having Ronnie Stanley back for 1789 01:32:57,800 --> 01:33:00,840 Speaker 1: this game and looking almost like afferent player, like he 1790 01:33:00,960 --> 01:33:03,320 Speaker 1: lost a lot of weight. Sure looked like kind of 1791 01:33:03,400 --> 01:33:04,960 Speaker 1: rotated him in and out of the h he was. 1792 01:33:05,680 --> 01:33:07,880 Speaker 1: It's just like some good signs for them. J K. 1793 01:33:08,040 --> 01:33:10,559 Speaker 1: Dobbins ran hard tonight, some good and I feel the Bengals, 1794 01:33:10,600 --> 01:33:14,280 Speaker 1: you're gonna try a Philly special get your act together. Well, 1795 01:33:14,400 --> 01:33:16,759 Speaker 1: you know that was the second time today where Philly 1796 01:33:16,800 --> 01:33:20,519 Speaker 1: Special was drawn up and failed in the London game. 1797 01:33:21,120 --> 01:33:24,800 Speaker 1: A nice job by the Bellinger to react to that. 1798 01:33:24,880 --> 01:33:27,439 Speaker 1: Instead of throwing an interception or even thrown it away, 1799 01:33:27,760 --> 01:33:30,439 Speaker 1: he managed to score on the ground. It's just not 1800 01:33:30,600 --> 01:33:32,760 Speaker 1: that special play to me anymore. It's kind of just 1801 01:33:33,160 --> 01:33:37,880 Speaker 1: it's just become part of Like all I was doing 1802 01:33:38,040 --> 01:33:40,400 Speaker 1: was just setting you up to give your little riggamar 1803 01:33:40,439 --> 01:33:42,880 Speaker 1: rale about the one of the greatest plays in Super Bowl. 1804 01:33:42,960 --> 01:33:46,000 Speaker 1: His listeners who have joined the show at some point 1805 01:33:46,040 --> 01:33:48,280 Speaker 1: in the last four years now, and we do have 1806 01:33:48,360 --> 01:33:50,360 Speaker 1: a lot of new listeners. Shout out to the new 1807 01:33:50,479 --> 01:33:52,720 Speaker 1: list I mean, it's hard to keep up with some 1808 01:33:52,800 --> 01:33:58,679 Speaker 1: of the h Mark once predicted that the Eagles would 1809 01:33:58,680 --> 01:34:01,000 Speaker 1: have a play that would have a name that would 1810 01:34:01,160 --> 01:34:05,040 Speaker 1: uh bigger than the helmet catch, and it ended up 1811 01:34:05,080 --> 01:34:08,599 Speaker 1: being the Philly Special, one of the top probably ten 1812 01:34:08,760 --> 01:34:14,640 Speaker 1: plays in Super Bowl history, A great name. I mean, 1813 01:34:14,680 --> 01:34:16,280 Speaker 1: there was a lot more to play in that game 1814 01:34:16,360 --> 01:34:19,560 Speaker 1: at that point. Right now, it was like, oh what 1815 01:34:19,680 --> 01:34:22,960 Speaker 1: a what a classics second quarter play. Um, it's just 1816 01:34:23,200 --> 01:34:27,320 Speaker 1: it's an utter. It didn't top the catch and ultimately 1817 01:34:27,600 --> 01:34:31,560 Speaker 1: you lost. That is simply because we now were just 1818 01:34:31,680 --> 01:34:34,400 Speaker 1: a it's a three person committee that I'll be outvoted 1819 01:34:34,439 --> 01:34:39,120 Speaker 1: on over and over on idiotic tangents like this. Um. Anyway, 1820 01:34:39,200 --> 01:34:42,840 Speaker 1: before we say goodbye, uh, we mentioned uh, justin you 1821 01:34:42,960 --> 01:34:47,120 Speaker 1: came to the studio with your family and your lovely 1822 01:34:47,800 --> 01:34:52,320 Speaker 1: girlfriend Jessica.

Yeah, 1824 01:34:57,880 --> 01:34:59,800 Speaker 1: so I just sort of texted here. I was like, oh, 1825 01:35:00,280 --> 01:35:02,840 Speaker 1: Greg was just asking me if I was concerned about 1826 01:35:03,200 --> 01:35:05,400 Speaker 1: Jessica missing Mark, and she said, ha ha ha, I 1827 01:35:05,520 --> 01:35:08,560 Speaker 1: missed those guys, but I missed Dan the most. She 1828 01:35:08,680 --> 01:35:11,600 Speaker 1: said that. I don't know if she's being serious or 1829 01:35:12,600 --> 01:35:16,679 Speaker 1: tell her I miss her, But that's not the that's 1830 01:35:16,720 --> 01:35:21,080 Speaker 1: not the headline here?
