14
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:45,279
Speaker 1: part of your day. I will say, Jamcam sitting there

15
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:48,639
Speaker 1: watching that game last night, and you know it's an

16
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 1: old cliche, but there are bad wins. You know, you

17
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 1: win a game and you lose two star players, and

18
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 1: there are great losses where you learn a lot about

19
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 1: your team. I watched that game last night for Dallas,

20
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 1: and maybe it's because I had such low expectations, but

21
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 1: I thought that was about as encouraging a loss.

22
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:12,759
Speaker 3: Philadelphia boat raced the.

23
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:16,759
Speaker 1: Cowboys twice last year, and Dallas had that game.

24
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 4: Can I ask you if which game the one before.

25
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 1: The lightning delay? Or after, because they were totally different

26
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 1: game they were. So let's just start with this. Listen

27
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 1: if cd Lamb catches that deep ball and it was

28
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,400
Speaker 1: a perfect throw, another one by Dak. I think Dallas

29
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 1: wins the game. They had more first downs, they were

30
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 1: slightly better on third down, they had fewer penalties, they

31
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 1: had more total offense, and I thought their clock management,

32
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 1: always an issue in Dallas with McCarthy, was very strong

33
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 1: at the end of the first half. Yes, Jalen Carter's absence,

34
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 1: dude to spitting is a big break. He is just

35
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 1: a complete, absolute difference maker. And for the first half

36
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: the Eagles defense was trying to sort things out and

37
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 1: figure out how to play without Jalen Carter. But Dak

38
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 1: played well. Don't blame it on Dak. He had people

39
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 1: in his face in the second half and made great throws.

40
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,519
Speaker 1: And here's the thing about Dak. He's thirty two, he's

41
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 1: off his second surgery. They had new screws were needed

42
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:19,399
Speaker 1: to reattach his hamstring. Yet he moved well, he threw

43
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:23,360
Speaker 1: with confidence, he didn't get sacked. And again in the

44
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 1: second half, Vic Fangio dialed it up. He was under duress.

45
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 1: Also for Dallas. I thought the offensive line again, no,

46
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,839
Speaker 1: Jalen Carter, Yeah, we know it helped, but I thought

47
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 1: the offensive line held up well.

48
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:39,640
Speaker 3: I thought they found running lanes.

49
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 1: I thought Ceedee Lamb and George Pickens against an excellent

50
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 1: secondary that is an excellent, young, talented secondary and linebacking corps,

51
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:55,239
Speaker 1: both George Pickens and Ceedee Lamb created space, beat their coverage.

52
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 1: And also, oh, what are we going to look like

53
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 1: without Michael Parsons. Michael Parsons is a great he's not

54
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 1: the soul of his team. Last year with Micah Parsons,

55
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 1: the Eagles averaged thirty seven and a half points against Dallas.

56
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 1: Last night was twenty four and would have been a

57
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,639
Speaker 1: win if Ceedee Lamb didn't become Ceedee lame and dropped

58
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:15,359
Speaker 1: three passes.

59
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 3: The O line look good.

60
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 1: Keep your eye on James Houston, who was great as

61
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 1: a rookie. He's been beat up, he struggles to stay healthy,

62
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 1: but I thought he looked really good. And listen, I

63
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:30,799
Speaker 1: have been highly critical of Brian Schottenneimer, but you could

64
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 1: not watch the Cowboys last night on the road rain

65
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 1: delay and not think they're buttoned up. They're good on

66
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 1: third down they're emotionally in check. Very few penalties, So

67
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 1: I listen, you could have bad wins in this league

68
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 1: if you lose a star quarterback, but win, you could

69
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 1: have good losses. It certain places. A young Dallas team,

70
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 1: I think they're going to score some points. I was

71
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 1: really encouraged by the offensive lune it again at halftime adjustments,

72
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 1: but Dak wasn't getting sacked. He was moving around. I

73
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 1: think you have to be happy as a cowboy fan

74
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 1: throughout the game. I'm thinking Dallas, don't screw it up,

75
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 1: get a top ten lottery pick. But they still got

76
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 1: what three years to pay Dak maybe after this year,

77
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 1: so they're invested in Dak. But overall, here's Brian. I

78
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:24,159
Speaker 1: thought it was pretty impressive.

79
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:27,119
Speaker 3: We got the right type of guys.

80
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:28,040
Speaker 5: We got good players.

81
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 6: Again, Like I said, you know, you saw what we're

82
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 6: capable of in the first half offensively, you saw it

83
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,039
Speaker 6: we're capable of in the second half defensively. We just

84
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 6: got to put the game together in a more complimentary fashion.

85
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 6: We had chances out there, and there's no moral victories

86
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 6: for us.

87
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 7: We had a chance to.

88
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 6: Win that game and weren't able to do it. And

89
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 6: it'll stink.

90
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 1: I mean that I thought Dallas, honestly, I thought it

91
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 1: was a B plus plus performance. Obviously the rain delay

92
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 1: didn't help them, but you're on the road, Philadelphia's got

93
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:59,160
Speaker 1: the better team. It really came down to Ceedee Lamb

94
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:04,719
Speaker 1: making one big catch, but very impressive by Dallas, shockingly

95
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:10,159
Speaker 1: so for me, Okay, let's talk Eagles. What did I

96
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,119
Speaker 1: spend ten minutes on yesterday with the Eagles? I said

97
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:17,919
Speaker 1: they do a lot of things lousy franchises do, and

98
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,480
Speaker 1: they did it again last night. Jalen Carter couldn't get

99
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 1: a snap in before he got tossed. They had more

100
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 1: penalty yards in the first half than any team in

101
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 1: the NFL last season had in the first half the

102
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,920
Speaker 1: Eagles last night. I mean they went the entire game

103
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:37,600
Speaker 1: and barely even glanced today J Brown. They had multiple

104
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 1: personal fouls. They were emotionally out of control. They had

105
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:43,480
Speaker 1: a dumb taunting penalty when you know the league's been

106
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 1: warning all the teams taunting were not standing for it.

107
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,279
Speaker 1: I mean, I saw Big Dom more than I saw

108
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 1: AJ Brown, and Philly's got a lot of new faces

109
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 1: on defense, so they needed Jalen Carter. That was a

110
00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:01,279
Speaker 1: big loss, but once again, and we talked about this yesterday.

111
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 3: You know what, I've always.

112
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 1: Loved Jalen Hurts, not as much as anybody else, but boy,

113
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 1: did you see it last night? Stoic intelligent leadership. Do

114
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,720
Speaker 1: you realize in his last fifteen starts that he's played

115
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 1: the entire game. He's fifteen to zero and last night

116
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 1: was classic Philly drama everywhere, taunting, penalties, personal fouls, Jalen Carter,

117
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 1: And here's stoic Jalen Hurts grown up. I mean, now,

118
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,279
Speaker 1: Vic Fangio deserves credit. He couldn't figure out in the

119
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 1: first half what to do without Jalen Carter. They go

120
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,719
Speaker 1: in at halftime, Fangio's like, all right, we're gonna switch

121
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 1: some things up. He did Vix great, So it took

122
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 1: them a half to figure out what to do defensively.

123
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:48,279
Speaker 1: But I thought Jalen Hurts faced more pressure overall consistently

124
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:52,279
Speaker 1: than Dactd. I thought Dallas's front got pressure. But he

125
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 1: is so mentally dialed in. This guy is such an

126
00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 1: impressive human being. I almost think Jalen Hurts is an

127
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 1: impress of human being. The quarterback is second. But this

128
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 1: was a classic game for Philadelphia. Where they kind of

129
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 1: melted down in the first half. Carter taunting, penalties, personal fouls.

130
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 1: They were kind of a wreck. But what pulled it

131
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 1: through Jalen Hurts picking up first downs. He just you know,

132
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 1: it's like a Philadelphia is a big noisy family.

133
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 3: And I learned this with my dad, you.

134
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 1: Know, passed away like who's the executor of the will?

135
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 1: And they gave it to my sister, right like like

136
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 1: all right, Collins distracted, give it to my sister. And

137
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 1: I feel like this is a big, loud family. If

138
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:38,559
Speaker 1: you ever had to give the executor of the will

139
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: to anybody for the Philadelphia Eagles, I wouldn't give it

140
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 1: to Nick Sirianni the executor.

141
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 3: It would be Jalen Hurts because there's.

142
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 1: So last night's first half there was nothing but drama

143
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 1: in Philadelphia and there's a big story something's going on

144
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 1: with aj Brown. We'll get to that in a second,

145
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 1: but here's Nick Sariani on the Jalen Carter incident.

146
00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 5: We want to have great like I said, energy, tenacity,

147
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 5: all those different things, but we got to do it

148
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 5: within the rules of the game.

149
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 3: And you know, we'll we'll we'll address that.

150
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 4: We'll go through that.

151
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 5: But we got to get better in that in that

152
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 5: scenario because we need we need that guy on the field.

153
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 3: He's a really good player.

154
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 1: The other thing to think about, and I'm going to

155
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 1: get into this after the break, but there is one

156
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 1: thing because Philadelphia, if Jalen Hurts is playing the entire game,

157
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 1: Philadelphia wins. Okay, there is one thing Jason, and Jason

158
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 1: was on this couple of years ago. I got to

159
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:32,200
Speaker 1: give him credit. That blows up a dynasty or a

160
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 1: great team wide receiver drama and the AJ Brown situation

161
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 1: last year, you start looking at the data, he is

162
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 1: not the guy you think he is. I always said

163
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 1: this Warriors won pre KD and post KD. The soul

164
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,320
Speaker 1: of the team was Draymond and Staff. It was not Katie.

165
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 1: Katie was the most talented, and I could argue AJ

166
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:56,440
Speaker 1: Brown's as talented as everybody on Philadelphia. But I'm gonna

167
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,599
Speaker 1: give you some numbers after the break to show you,

168
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 1: you know what it felt like last night to me,

169
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 1: we didn't work together at this time. Randy Moss goes

170
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 1: to the Patriots and he's unbelievable, and you're kind of

171
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 1: waiting for the next shoe to drop and then I

172
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 1: forget what year it was, but there's a Monday night

173
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:19,560
Speaker 1: football game, New England goes to Miami. I think it

174
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 1: was in Miami, but it was the Patriots Dolphins, and

175
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,560
Speaker 1: they target Randy Moss once. And I remember I worked

176
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 1: at the ESPN. I went on the air that Tuesday

177
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 1: morning and I said, he's out of here, and everybody

178
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 1: back then I would take emails or calls to the

179
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 1: show and everybody's.

180
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:32,319
Speaker 3: Like, no, you're overreacting.

181
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:35,440
Speaker 1: I'm like, the most talent receiver in the game on

182
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 1: a team that doesn't draft receivers. You target against a

183
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 1: rival team Miami, you target him one time. It's not

184
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 1: like you targeted him eight times and the coverage was good.

185
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 1: AJ Brown was targeted what once last night? Okay, so

186
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 1: that tells you Jalen Hurst and AJ Brown because Dallas

187
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 1: Goddard was eaten last night, Saquon was eating Dotson got looks,

188
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 1: Davante Smith got looks. A Day's more talented arguably than

189
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 1: all of them except Saquon Barkley and got one look

190
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 1: that is not coincidental, not great at all.

191
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 4: And it was not just one target. It was one

192
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 4: target with like five minutes left in the game, Colin,

193
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 4: that offense did not look good at all.

194
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 8: You can't rely on Jalen Hurts to bail you out

195
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 8: of every third down. They had one pass completion over

196
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 8: ten yards one the bomb to Dotson.

197
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 4: That's it.

198
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 8: Everything else was short. I know it's a new offensive

199
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 8: coordinator for Hurts, which is the case almost every year.

200
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 8: But Colin, I'm with you to take away as Dallas

201
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 8: looked better than advertised and Philly did not look particularly sharp.

202
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 3: No, but I will.

203
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 1: Say the rain delay helped Philly. You know, it's hard

204
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:46,560
Speaker 1: enough to go on the road, like it's hard to

205
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:48,439
Speaker 1: go on the road, the crowd's against you, and then

206
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 1: you prepare and Dallas had a very good game plan

207
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden you got a rain

208
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 1: delay after halftime, and you're like, okay, it's hard. And

209
00:10:58,040 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 1: I felt for Dallas. I'm like, oh, this is like

210
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,559
Speaker 1: Philadelphia the football gods. Remember the Super Bowl with the

211
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 1: lights went out. It's like sometimes a team that when

212
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 1: the lights go out, you come back on or there's

213
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:09,839
Speaker 1: a delay, some players don't react as well. It's always

214
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 1: felt like it's an advantage being the home team. If

215
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:16,840
Speaker 1: there's some malfunction or delay, and I just felt like

216
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 1: after that, I thought Philly was a little more dialed in.

217
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:23,960
Speaker 1: But you cannot come out of that game and not

218
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:28,080
Speaker 1: say to yourself with Dallas, because my thing was Schottenheimer,

219
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 1: he hadn't been offered or interviewed for head coaching job

220
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 1: before Dallas for fourteen years. An offensive coaches all get interviewed,

221
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 1: so like he was not the party of the the

222
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 1: bell of the ball by owners or GMS as an

223
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 1: offensive coach. But maybe he's a walk around guy and

224
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:50,560
Speaker 1: his stoicism and chill approach works with Jerry.

225
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 4: It could be.

226
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:53,679
Speaker 8: Let me just push back and I'll offer this. If

227
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 8: Jalen Carter's not tossed, you could just take away all

228
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,200
Speaker 8: those A gap runs where Javonte Adams is running.

229
00:11:59,320 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 4: There.

230
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 8: By the way, Javante Adam's total for rushing guards was

231
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 8: like thirty seven and a half. He had like fifty

232
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 8: eight yards rushing. Okay, so it's not totally fair. And

233
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:08,559
Speaker 8: then all of a sudden, Dak gets pressure up the middle.

234
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 8: Javonte Williams.

235
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:12,840
Speaker 4: Sorry, I just I don't really know what to make

236
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 4: of either team.

237
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 1: But here's my take. Though you're right, but the truth

238
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 1: about availability. It's on you. So that's I am not

239
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 1: gonna say. Well, Dallas with Jalen Carter, I don't know,

240
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 1: but you know what, you're not mature. You had red

241
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:30,840
Speaker 1: flags coming out of Georgia. This won't be the last

242
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 1: time you get in trouble, so you know what. Dak

243
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 1: could have easily spit back and didn't. But the mature Dacks,

244
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:41,199
Speaker 1: like now bra Jalen carssol I, Philadelphia's drama is self inflicted.

245
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 3: Okay, don't you know? So you're right.

246
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:47,200
Speaker 1: I do think Dallas found some running lanes that they

247
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 1: wouldn't have found. But I will say the past protection

248
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 1: it was pretty good.

249
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 4: Nolan Smith was the only I get into him. I

250
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 4: am curious if Micah Parsons is there for Dallas on

251
00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:59,960
Speaker 4: that is he setting the edge containing Jalen Hurts.

252
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 8: It felt like they missed Michael Parsons. I didn't hear

253
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:03,679
Speaker 8: a lot of that discussion on the broadcast.

254
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 3: Well, I thought Houston was really good.

255
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 8: He was solid, But imagine if he was opposite Michael Parsons,

256
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 8: then it's like, well, Jalen's not running wild.

257
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 4: I mean, Jalen was just clowned out right.

258
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 1: Carter's gone one for Philly, Mike has gone for Dallas,

259
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:17,560
Speaker 1: and so you could say it's kind of a wash.

260
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 1: It just looked like if you didn't know anything about

261
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:24,960
Speaker 1: Philly or Dallas and you were dropped spaceship in front

262
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 1: of a TV and you watched the game, your takeaway

263
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 1: would be, yeah, I mean they're pretty close.

264
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 3: Even Yeah.

265
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 1: I watched them play twice last year lobsided. It was

266
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:37,720
Speaker 1: Bam in the Dynasty against Kentucky. It was like, Oh,

267
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 1: these teams shouldn't be on the same field both games

268
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 1: last year. Last night I was like, no, they match up.

269
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 1: The Lions match up.

270
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,720

Speaker 3: Get your podcasts.

284
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 1: As I've talked about with the receivers, they're the convertible

285
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 1: sports car, great until the weather gets bad, really really

286
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 1: cool in the garage. Everybody talks about him. What gets

287
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 1: you to work in January? You're not driving the convertible

288
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 1: sports car, especially on this team that led the NFL

289
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 1: in Russia temps last year. So this is if clearly

290
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 1: quarterbacks from Mahomes to Brady demanding the Jalen hurts. They

291
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:50,360
Speaker 1: throw it at targets. They trust, He trusts Dallas Goddard.

292
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 1: He had seven catches on seven targets. He trusted Vontae Smith,

293
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 1: He trusted Dotson. He didn't trust aj Brown. It was

294
00:14:57,680 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 1: the first time in six years AJ Brown not tar

295
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 1: gets first half. Also last couple of years. I saw

296
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:09,960
Speaker 1: this this morning when AJ Brown is held under fifty yards.

297
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 1: Last two years, Philadelphia is seven to zero again. Don't

298
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 1: confuse luxury with necessity when you're doing your budget at home.

299
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 1: The second pair of golf clubs is a luxury. It

300
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 1: is not a necessity. So you know, listen, he can

301
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 1: take his book club to another city. Books travel, Well,

302
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 1: that's how Amazon started. You could always take the book

303
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 1: club to another city. I wouldn't pause for a second. Listen,

304
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 1: it is a position for the reasons we've discussed many times.

305
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 1: You get highly emotional athletes. They want the ball, they're

306
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 1: first out of the huddle, they're on an island. They're

307
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 1: often the best athlete on the team. I get it.

308
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 1: But Aj Brown, this is not the Tennessee Titans when

309
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 1: he left, when he they were just they didn't have

310
00:15:55,840 --> 00:16:00,840
Speaker 1: an elite quarterback. They didn't have This offensive line has

311
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 1: an embarrassment of riches. They have nailed the last four

312
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 1: or five drafts top players. It looks like, you know,

313
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 1: it's they hit on all those Georgia s SEC guys.

314
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 1: They got plenty of talent, and plenty of talent and

315
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:15,280
Speaker 1: running back wide receiver. I would move off him in

316
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 1: one second. And he's got a market. And I've said

317
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 1: this before with emotional receivers, not all of them are.

318
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 1: Larry Fitzgerald wasn't is Pook and the cool I don't know,

319
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 1: but here's my thing. Some employees are good for about

320
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 1: three years. I mean, we've all worked with that person.

321
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 1: You know, some people you date, some you marry. Some

322
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 1: people you build a franchise around in all sports. Some

323
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 1: are they come in, they deliver their emotional you don't

324
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 1: want to build a franchise around. We've all had relationships

325
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 1: like that. Some of you marry, some you date. Doesn't

326
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 1: mean who you're dating's less fun, but there's a stability issue.

327
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 1: Maybe you don't trust him as much. They've got habits

328
00:16:56,920 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 1: you don't love. So in my take is this is

329
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:04,639
Speaker 1: not Aj Brown'stfallen Diggs I said, I like him, Randy Moss.

330
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:08,480
Speaker 1: I love Randy Moss, but Calvin Johnson or Larry Fitzgerald

331
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:12,199
Speaker 1: had a different temperament. You could build around Calvin or Larry.

332
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 1: And I think AJ's just a really talented guy, but

333
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:16,879
Speaker 1: one target with his talent.

334
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:23,679
Speaker 3: Something's up. Here's j Mickle the news. Turn on the news.

335
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 2: This is the herd Line News.

336
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 8: All right, Colin, let's get started with Micah Parsons.

337
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 4: I cannot believe this. They told me about this, and I'm.

338
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 3: Like, no way.

339
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 4: Michaeh. Parsons is already talking trash. He's been in Green

340
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:38,240
Speaker 4: Bay for.

341
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:41,360
Speaker 8: Five minutes, has an unpacked a suitcase and has unloaded

342
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:41,919
Speaker 8: on the Lions.

343
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 4: Take a listen.

344
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 7: I never liked Detroit and never liked him. Mean, when

345
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 7: I was in Dallas, it's just always uh, it was

346
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 7: just always a heavyweight fight every time they came in

347
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:57,240
Speaker 7: or you know, and they kind of got our guys

348
00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 7: when I was injury last year. A trick plazer for

349
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 7: people who can't beat you straight up. It's like a

350
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 7: guy running around the ring or day trying to jag.

351
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:05,919
Speaker 7: But meet me in the middle, you know what I mean,

352
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:09,240
Speaker 7: Let's line it up. And I think that's what guys

353
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 7: who tried you trick plays do. They can't beat you

354
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:11,639
Speaker 7: head up.

355
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 4: What is he doing?

356
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 3: I love the swagger.

357
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 8: Do you think they're gonna pull him aside and be like, hey, hey, bro,

358
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:23,879
Speaker 8: that can fly in Dallas with your guy Jerry, We

359
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:28,120
Speaker 8: don't operate like that here. We are professionals, Like he

360
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:31,400
Speaker 8: has not had to play with this team, and he's

361
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 8: lobbing grenades at the Lions, who I believe sweat Green

362
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 8: Bay Lift. Well.

363
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:39,239
Speaker 1: He also had a spicy podcast, you know, Mike jin

364
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:43,960
Speaker 1: up the numbers. Micah sometimes is about Micah. I think

365
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 1: that's fair to say. He's a little bit about Micah.

366
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:49,440
Speaker 1: I love him as a player, thinks he thinks he

367
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 1: shrinks sometimes against playoff games, against the very best left tackles.

368
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:55,920
Speaker 3: But uh I you.

369
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 1: Know, listen, it's football. People get all gassed up and

370
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:03,560
Speaker 1: fired up. So I I listen. Aj Brown worries me

371
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:07,440
Speaker 1: more because when the quarterback doesn't target you, it's saying

372
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 1: volumes a pass rusher before his first game in a

373
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 1: historic franchise against the rival at home, he's fired up.

374
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 8: You want to give Dan Campbell your boy bulletin board material.

375
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 4: You sure he's gonna show that clip to his team?

376
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 3: Whoever?

377
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 4: The new offensive coordinator is Joe Bob whatever his name is. Hey, guys,

378
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 4: you let's dial up the trick place. Let's get him.

379
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 4: I don't love that Micah for Green Bay. I do

380
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 4: like the factors this weekend.

381
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 8: Let's move on to Jaden Daniels big game on Fox

382
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 8: Sunday against the Commanders Colin. A lot of the pro gamblers,

383
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:42,760
Speaker 8: I know they love the Giants here getting points Dan Quinn.

384
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:44,880
Speaker 8: He's fired up about his quarterback going into a year two.

385
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 8: Jaden has a rare focus about him. He doesn't get

386
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 8: that too far over his skeys. The best of the.

387
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 4: Best have that. Hey, he's gonna be facing one of

388
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:56,399
Speaker 4: the best defensive fronts in the league.

389
00:19:57,160 --> 00:20:01,200
Speaker 1: I am so fired up to watch Abdul Carter, who

390
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:02,879
Speaker 1: There are a lot of people felled in the draft.

391
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 1: He was the best player. He would have been a

392
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:08,119
Speaker 1: top six pick in any draft. He was a There

393
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 1: are people from Penn State. There are people that think

394
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:13,680
Speaker 1: he could be Micah level. Like that good, he's a

395
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:16,239
Speaker 1: he is a force, dominant and they didn't play him

396
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:17,880
Speaker 1: a ton in the pre season. I think they saw

397
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:21,200
Speaker 1: after about five snaps they're like, yep, he's good.

398
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 4: This is an interesting game. I am also curious, you know,

399
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:26,480
Speaker 4: very familiar.

400
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:29,119
Speaker 3: Yes, Brian Dable, Hey.

401
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:33,440
Speaker 1: Giants were in a lot of one score games last year.

402
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 4: Bad bad, bad quarterback play.

403
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:35,920
Speaker 3: That's right.

404
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:39,439
Speaker 1: So my take is this is a blazing five in

405
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 1: the thirty five minutes this game.

406
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 4: May be in it, So you are going to do

407
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 4: blazing five ten. I thought you were talking about chickening

408
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 4: out last year after the.

409
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 1: Over a year ago, I didn't have the confidence I

410
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:54,240
Speaker 1: have today as a broadcaster, I have grown a lot

411
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 1: in the last thirtieth year of broadcast I'm happy for you.

412
00:20:57,840 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 4: Fidal story is.

413
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:02,159
Speaker 8: Let's go to a less sexy matchup, and that is

414
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 8: Aaron Rodgers against the New York Jets, his old team. Obviously,

415
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:09,840
Speaker 8: Justin Fields was with Pittsburgh last year. Interesting tidbit that

416
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:13,119
Speaker 8: came out yesterday. Garrett Wilson a top ten receiver in

417
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:16,240
Speaker 8: the league. Remember he was voys of Aaron Rodgers last year. Well,

418
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:17,360
Speaker 8: take a listen to this.

419
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 4: I ain't talked to Aaron since he left, so I

420
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 4: wish him the best this season. Yeah, you know we

421
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:26,359
Speaker 4: ain't chopped though since he left.

422
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, you ever noticed that Davontay Adams left him? I

423
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:34,840
Speaker 1: always hear what a great teammate he is. That's funny.

424
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 1: Garrett Wilson is number one receiver. Davontay Adams left Green

425
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:43,119
Speaker 1: Bay for the Raiders. They're tight.

426
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 3: He and Greg Jennings had a falling out.

427
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:49,119
Speaker 4: Everybody likes Greg Jennings. He's the nicest guy. Let me.

428
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:51,920
Speaker 8: I was looking at the Jets depth chart. I mean, listen,

429
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:55,399
Speaker 8: this goes both ways. They know Aaron Rodgers tendencies. The

430
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:59,959
Speaker 8: defense does. Yeah, okay, but Aaron Rodgers knows the skills

431
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:02,440
Speaker 8: set of the v He knows the sauce gardener.

432
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 4: You know, it's a really to me, it's an interesting matchup.

433
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:08,119
Speaker 1: I know this is I think it's going to be ugly,

434
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:09,920
Speaker 1: but I think the Texan DRAMs is.

435
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:10,480
Speaker 3: Going to be ugly.

436
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 8: Yeah, but that's a that's a better kind of ugly

437
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:15,720
Speaker 8: that this is. Just these are not good teams. Unless

438
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 8: you think the Steelers are okay this year.

439
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:21,200
Speaker 3: I don't. I think they're I've said I think they're

440
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 3: eight nine or nine and eight. Yeah.

441
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 1: It's also Aaron Rodgers has been It's almost peculiar. He's

442
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 1: been really bad in a week one. Yeah, when you

443
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 1: hang out in Egypt in the off season, maybe skip

444
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:38,879
Speaker 1: session of ot as. Aaron has not been a fast starter. Yeah,

445
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 1: there are reports he was a burning man two week.

446
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:41,439
Speaker 4: No, I'm just kidding.

447
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 3: It's a good, good look for j Mack with the news.

448
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 2: Well that's the.

449
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:48,720
Speaker 4: News, and thanks for stopping by.

450
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:50,520
Speaker 2: The herd Line News.

451
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:59,240
Speaker 1: So Matt Hasselbeck also today. So I was watching that

452
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 1: game last night, and Micah Parsons is really talented and

453
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 1: Cede Lamb is crazy talented. But we all get the

454
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:16,400
Speaker 1: value of Dak. And if you look at Dak's impact

455
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 1: on the Cowboys career. When Dak plays and Dak starts

456
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 1: and Dak's healthy, they're seventy six and forty six, and

457
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 1: they average twenty seven points a game, a lot of

458
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 1: wins in the NFL. When Dak doesn't play, they average

459
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:31,160
Speaker 1: a touchdown less and he does not throw the prettiest ball.

460
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 1: But he's on his third coaching staff. There's OHA's constant

461
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 1: drama around him. He'd had multiple, I think three ced

462
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 1: lamb drops. But yet, once again, when Dak is healthy,

463
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:49,160
Speaker 1: they're either winning or they're in games. And Dak Prescott

464
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 1: could have had a spicy podcast, now that was Micah.

465
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:55,360
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott could have his own radio show. No, that's

466
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:59,920
Speaker 1: the owner, Jerry Dak could have both of those. His focus,

467
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 1: once again, is on the game and is usually on Sunday.

468
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 1: So I've used a term for years and years. I

469
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:12,439
Speaker 1: call it quarterback heel, like presidential quarterback heel, and I

470
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:15,920
Speaker 1: think last night was a great example of quarterback heal.

471
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 1: This is why I've been tough on Baker mayfielder, Johnny Manzel,

472
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:23,680
Speaker 1: or silly quarterbacks or Drew Locke dancing on the sideline.

473
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:26,120
Speaker 3: Stop it grow up.

474
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:30,680
Speaker 1: There is drama everywhere with Dallas every second and last

475
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 1: night before the game, you got a guy spitting at him,

476
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 1: Jalen cart Dak doesn't react. Dak doesn't react well. Dak

477
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:44,560
Speaker 1: spit first. Dak spit on the ground, and then Jalen

478
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:50,679
Speaker 1: Carter comes up and spits on him. Like Dak spit is.

479
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:53,159
Speaker 1: He's got cowboys in front. If he was trying to

480
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:55,760
Speaker 1: spit it somebody, he would have been spitting on Cowboy teammates.

481
00:24:56,560 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 1: This is quarterback. Heel the up in the room. Here's

482
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 1: Dak on the spitting incident.

483
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:07,160
Speaker 10: I just spit ahead, but I'd say he was back

484
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 10: there where Joey was in that sense, and he asked,

485
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:11,919
Speaker 10: or he goes, you're trying to spin on me? And

486
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:15,679
Speaker 10: at that point, I mean, I felt like like like

487
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:18,240
Speaker 10: he was insulting me, like I don't I wouldn't spin

488
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 10: on somebody. I'm damn sure you're not trying to spin

489
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 10: on you.

490
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:20,960
Speaker 3: They were about to play a game.

491
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 10: I'm wondering why you're trying to mess with the Rookyts.

492
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 10: So when I stepped through, I actually say the words,

493
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:27,359
Speaker 10: what the hell would I excuse me? But I'm probably

494
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 10: even more colorful. What would I need to spin on

495
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 10: you for and he just spin on me in that

496
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:33,680
Speaker 10: moment and was more of a surprise than anything.

497
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 1: Okay, I have thousand percent trust Dak on that. Dak's

498
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:41,639
Speaker 1: history and resume tells you he wouldn't spit on somebody.

499
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:45,200
Speaker 1: Jalen Carter, as great as he is, half the teams

500
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:47,880
Speaker 1: in the league took him off the draft board. He's

501
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 1: been immature, He's had some emotional stuff. I won thousand

502
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:57,560
Speaker 1: percent trust Dak Prescott. I will look at your life resume.

503
00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:00,960
Speaker 1: If you get into chaos or an incident, your resume

504
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:04,360
Speaker 1: will tell me if you're being honest. Dak is being honest.

505
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:09,800
Speaker 1: Dak would not spit on Jalen Carter knowing he is

506
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:14,920
Speaker 1: the face of a ten billion dollar franchise on Thursday

507
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 1: Night Football, a game that's got thirty million people or

508
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:22,160
Speaker 1: forty million people watching. Dak has self awareness. Jalen Carter

509
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:25,480
Speaker 1: apparently none. By the way, here was another moment where

510
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:29,440
Speaker 1: I loved Dak last night. So ceed Lamb drops, who's

511
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:34,040
Speaker 1: the quarterback? I always talk about body language, pouts, grabs, it,

512
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 1: stands by himself on the sideline, ce d Lamb.

513
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:39,399
Speaker 3: Drop drop drop.

514
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:44,879
Speaker 1: Did you see a confrontation was Dak screaming did he

515
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:46,440
Speaker 1: have bad body language?

516
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 9: No?

517
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 1: Again, life is not about just action, it's reaction. And

518
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:55,280
Speaker 1: two moments last night, the Jalen Carter spit and the

519
00:26:55,359 --> 00:27:02,439
Speaker 1: CD Lamb drops and again stoicism e q iq self awareness.

520
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 1: This is really the value of Dak Prescott. He is

521
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 1: the dependable local meteorologist standing in the middle of a storm.

522
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:14,480
Speaker 1: The wind is whipping sleet and hail sideways with the cowboys,

523
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:17,359
Speaker 1: and here's the grown up in the room. So I

524
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 1: thought last night watching him, I hope everybody appreciated all

525
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:25,639
Speaker 1: those drops would drive half the quarterbacks in this league. Not.

526
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:29,320
Speaker 1: Dak is like, well, we make it the ballgame. I

527
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:31,200
Speaker 1: can't get into it. We got time. I mean that ball,

528
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:37,199
Speaker 1: that ball's caught. Dallas wins the game, So just listen.

529
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:40,240
Speaker 1: Dak does not throw the prettiest ball. Dak's had a

530
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:43,400
Speaker 1: second surgery. I've said before, I think he's a great b. Plus,

531
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:46,440
Speaker 1: Eyeball has compared him to Kirk Cousins. He's just gonna

532
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:48,160
Speaker 1: star in his helmet. So we talk about him more

533
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:50,400
Speaker 1: and Kirk Cousins will get Hall of Fame votes, Dak

534
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:54,560
Speaker 1: will get some. But last night his maturity. His eq

535
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 1: were totally on display all right top of the hour.

536
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 3: Our blazing.

537
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 1: Oh So Bills and the Ravens this week and is

538
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:08,960
Speaker 1: gonna be the best probably arguably the best game on

539
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:12,800
Speaker 1: the board. Thoughts on that and Kansas City and the

540
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:18,520
Speaker 1: Chargers are overseas. If I was Kansas City, I'd be

541
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 1: a lit worried.

542
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:23,720
Speaker 3: That's next.

543
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:27,440
Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Herd weekdays

550
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:51,959
Speaker 3: Fox Iowa State and Oklahoma and the Big Ones. This week.

551
00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:53,840
Speaker 3: I'll be at the USC game. I wrote down some

552
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:54,640
Speaker 3: plays last night.

553
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 1: I want to hand it to a Lincoln Riley before

554
00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:01,960
Speaker 1: the big game with Georgia Southern Georgia who somewhere in

555
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 1: the southern part of the stay. Oh, Georgia Southern, not Athens.

556
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 1: It's a school right next to Athens. Look a little

557
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:12,880
Speaker 1: like Athens, but so tonight Chargers Chiefs. That's a stay

558
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:15,960
Speaker 1: away game for me. The Brazil stuff, I have no idea.

559
00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:18,280
Speaker 1: That's just I don't like that travel. I think we

560
00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:22,040
Speaker 1: should play in Europe. I think Mexico City is awesome.

561
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:25,240
Speaker 1: I think playing in Brazil is taxing on teams. I'm

562
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:27,719
Speaker 1: not a fan, so I don't know who's gonna win.

563
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 1: But I will say I felt this last year, but

564
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:32,520
Speaker 1: I feel that more this year. This is the year

565
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:35,360
Speaker 1: to knock off the Chiefs. In the AFC, They're rebuilding

566
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 1: left tackle Joe Tooney's gone three straight trips to the

567
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. Guys get more banged up. There's fatigue, receiving corps.

568
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:47,000
Speaker 1: Rashi Rice not back until week six. Will he be

569
00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:48,760
Speaker 1: ready to play in week seven or will it take

570
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:50,880
Speaker 1: several weeks to ramp up. This is the year to

571
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:53,400
Speaker 1: beat them and teams that lose the Super Bowl. Four

572
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 1: out of the last six teams that lose the Super

573
00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:58,480
Speaker 1: Bowl missed the playoffs. So Kansas City's vulnerable. But I

574
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 1: said this two years ago when Juju Smith Schuster was

575
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:03,800
Speaker 1: their number one receiver and they won the Super Bowl.

576
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:08,120
Speaker 1: So I find that these dynasties are like great entrepreneurs.

577
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:11,440
Speaker 1: They find profits where nobody else can see them, and

578
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:13,880
Speaker 1: they just figure out ways to win. I do think

579
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 1: the obstacle here, and it's a real one for Kansas

580
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:21,760
Speaker 1: City is that dynasties usually have the advantage of dominating

581
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 1: their division and getting home playoff games. Big Ben dominated

582
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:29,680
Speaker 1: the Bengals before Burrow and dominated the Browns. You could

583
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:32,520
Speaker 1: just pencil in three or four wins every year. Tom

584
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:37,000
Speaker 1: Brady played forty one playoff games, only eight, only eight

585
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:40,080
Speaker 1: were on the road. He mostly dominated at the time,

586
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 1: the dysfunctional Bills, the mediocre Dolphins, and the hit and

587
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:48,600
Speaker 1: miss Jets. So and that's where I when I look

588
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:53,480
Speaker 1: at this, my takeaway is last year Kansas City was

589
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:57,480
Speaker 1: dominant in one score games, but now Harbaugh and Herbert

590
00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:01,520
Speaker 1: in year two, because Harbaugh historically good in one score

591
00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 1: games and especially in season openers, and Sean Payton bow

592
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:08,120
Speaker 1: nicks year two. Well, Sean Payton historically is good in

593
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:11,440
Speaker 1: one score games. So I'm not saying Kansas City that's

594
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:15,080
Speaker 1: won nine straight AFC West titles. I am not saying

595
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:19,000
Speaker 1: that they won't be a playoff team. But one of

596
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:22,800
Speaker 1: the biggest breaks that Tom Brady ever got was his

597
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:25,600
Speaker 1: second year starting, the Colts got moved out of his

598
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:30,240
Speaker 1: division and he got more dysfunction. That was a huge,

599
00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 1: huge break for Brady. If Peyton Manning would have been

600
00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:35,480
Speaker 1: in that division for fifteen years. He's going on the

601
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:38,160
Speaker 1: road for playoff games and he's not getting buys, and

602
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:42,240
Speaker 1: he's not in Foxborough, and he's probably playing sometimes a

603
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:45,320
Speaker 1: third time. He's meeting Peyton in this time in a dome.

604
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:48,400
Speaker 1: So I don't think they're gonna have the home field

605
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:50,840
Speaker 1: luxury they have won. I looked it up this morning.

606
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:54,760
Speaker 1: Seventeen straight one score games. That's not gonna happen with Chip, Kelly,

607
00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:58,040
Speaker 1: Pete Carroll, Sean Payton and Harball, forget the quarterbacks. That's

608
00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 1: just not gonna happen. So playoffs absolutely, home field buys

609
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:08,520
Speaker 1: always at Arrowhead weather advantage. I think that's drying up

610
00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:12,000
Speaker 1: pretty soon, and I think they're very vulnerable. So the

611
00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:16,080
Speaker 1: game of the weekend, many would say, and don't forget

612
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:20,160
Speaker 1: Blazing five, top of next hour is the Ravens at

613
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:23,200
Speaker 1: the Bills. So I thought long and hard about that.

614
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:26,120
Speaker 1: It's just very hard to bet against Lamar Jackson in

615
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:28,920
Speaker 1: the regular season, and it's very hard to bet against

616
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:33,200
Speaker 1: Josh Allen. Ever, so here's Josh Allen on facing Lamar

617
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 1: Jackson in Week one.

618
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:38,600
Speaker 11: You got Lamar Jackson, who's one of the greatest quarterbacks. Really,

619
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:40,640
Speaker 11: we can already say it of all time. Like he's

620
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:45,160
Speaker 11: an absolute stud, Like he's freakishly talented. He throws the

621
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:48,000
Speaker 11: ball just as good as anybody in the league. And

622
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:50,960
Speaker 11: you know, he's a fun player to watch, and I

623
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:52,360
Speaker 11: got a lot of respect for him.

624
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 3: He should.

625
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:58,920
Speaker 1: I looked up Lamar Jackson's career and his all time ranking.

626
00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:03,000
Speaker 1: He's still a young player. His winning percentage is sixth,

627
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:08,600
Speaker 1: touchdown to interception ratio, second rushing yards first, passing rating fourth.

628
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:13,280
Speaker 1: You all want to be hard on him because of

629
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:17,880
Speaker 1: his postseason? Could I remind you that Dan Marino in

630
00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:23,240
Speaker 1: the postseason with Don Shula eight and ten, Aaron Rodgers

631
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 1: in one of the best run organizations in the league,

632
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:29,960
Speaker 1: Green Bay, one game above five hundred. John Elway got

633
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:32,040
Speaker 1: blown out in how many two or three Super Bowls

634
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:36,000
Speaker 1: before he got Terrell Davis in a run game. So,

635
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:40,240
Speaker 1: and I've never been I'm not a huge fan of holidays,

636
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:42,440
Speaker 1: and I'll tell you why I do love Fourth of

637
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:44,880
Speaker 1: July because there's a cocktail and you get a blow

638
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:48,160
Speaker 1: up stuff. But by and large, I'm not a big

639
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:50,560
Speaker 1: Christmas guy. I like giving out gifts. But my takeaway

640
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:54,400
Speaker 1: is this is that if dad is great for three

641
00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:56,960
Speaker 1: hundred days a year, three hundred and fifty days a year,

642
00:33:57,760 --> 00:33:59,720
Speaker 1: he may not be a great gift giver.

643
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:03,720
Speaker 3: Get over it. It's a day.

644
00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:08,480
Speaker 1: Yes, Lamar has had some bad days, but let me

645
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:13,200
Speaker 1: tell you something. Running the franchise, you know, three hundred

646
00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:17,279
Speaker 1: and sixty days a year, Lamar is unbelievable. And think

647
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:21,359
Speaker 1: about this. He is the best running quarterback of all time.

648
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:25,520
Speaker 1: That is indisputable. He is the best ever. Last year

649
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:29,320
Speaker 1: he had forty one touchdown passes and only four picks.

650
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:36,879
Speaker 1: As the best running quarterback of all time. And again, dedication, obsession, decency,

651
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:41,560
Speaker 1: beloved by teammates. I think I said this last year.

652
00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:45,120
Speaker 1: There's an argument, and this is with a great owner

653
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:48,640
Speaker 1: and a great coach and great teammates, there may not

654
00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:51,200
Speaker 1: be another player in the league that feels more like

655
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:52,640
Speaker 1: the soul of their team.

656
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:54,120
Speaker 3: At quarterback than Lamar Jackson.

657
00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:58,920
Speaker 1: So again, you can give great presents as a parent,

658
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:01,719
Speaker 1: but if you do a crappy job the rest of

659
00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:04,680
Speaker 1: the year, you're a bad parent, and you can have

660
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:08,880
Speaker 1: bad playoff games. Elway had him, Marino had him, Aaron's

661
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:11,680
Speaker 1: had a lot of them. Aaron's also a first ballot

662
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:15,319
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer. Marino was also. I mean, Miami still

663
00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:18,440
Speaker 1: never found the next day Marino and Denver with Elway,

664
00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:20,440
Speaker 1: who was getting blown out in Super Bowls, they had

665
00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:25,319
Speaker 1: to go basically trade for Peyton manning four neck surgeries

666
00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:29,080
Speaker 1: to ever find anything that kind of resembled John Elway.

667
00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:36,319
Speaker 1: So my gut is I think Baltimore wins in the

668
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:41,000
Speaker 1: regular season. I can't bet against Baltimore. And I also

669
00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:44,920
Speaker 1: think outside of Philadelphia and maybe including Philadelphia, I think

670
00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:51,479
Speaker 1: Baltimore has the best roster in the league. I don't

671
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:54,919
Speaker 1: know where you land on this, but I know it's

672
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:59,799
Speaker 1: at Buffalo. But you know, I think that they oddsmakers now.

673
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:02,480
Speaker 1: I think home Field is mostly a point. It used

674
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:04,520
Speaker 1: to be three to three and a half. New Orleans

675
00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:08,319
Speaker 1: with Breeze and Peyton was like four. I think home

676
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:10,520
Speaker 1: Field's maybe a point. The bottom line, this is a

677
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:13,680
Speaker 1: great rush team. You start running the ball, keeping Josh

678
00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:16,200
Speaker 1: off the field. You pointed this out earlier this week.

679
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:21,200
Speaker 1: When you pay the quarterback, you have to make exceptions.

680
00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:25,239
Speaker 1: Buffalo's a little beat up defensively, and they've had to

681
00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:28,400
Speaker 1: get rid of really big, good corners, really good linebackers,

682
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:32,200
Speaker 1: really good safeties, like leaders veterans. They've had to move

683
00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:34,840
Speaker 1: off a lot of these guys. So I don't love

684
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:38,920
Speaker 1: Buffalo's roster. I think now their best talent is actually

685
00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:42,839
Speaker 1: an offense left tackle, quarterback, running back, tight end. I

686
00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:44,759
Speaker 1: thought the first four or five years with Josh it

687
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:47,840
Speaker 1: was Josh and really good defensive personnel. I don't love

688
00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:53,640
Speaker 1: Buffalo's defensive personnel right now. I think they're thin in spots.

689
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:55,920
Speaker 8: If you think back to that matchup last year in

690
00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:59,040
Speaker 8: the playoffs, essentially Baltimore beat themselves.

691
00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:01,279
Speaker 4: With the early turnovers, right, Lamarge.

692
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:02,600
Speaker 8: Is not great, and then they still had a chance

693
00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:05,239
Speaker 8: at the end and Mark Andrews with the cat his

694
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:06,759
Speaker 8: worst game as a pro. By the way, if you

695
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:08,719
Speaker 8: want a fun prop bread this week, do you think

696
00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:10,719
Speaker 8: the Ravens are going to force feed Mark Andrews in

697
00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:11,239
Speaker 8: the red zone?

698
00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:12,760
Speaker 4: I thought about how to get him a touchdown.

699
00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:15,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know they're gonna go.

700
00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:17,879
Speaker 8: He was so devastated after that drop. He didn't talk

701
00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:19,600
Speaker 8: to the media for a while and then when he

702
00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:22,360
Speaker 8: did speak, you could just feel it like he was

703
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:24,880
Speaker 8: more down on the jumps that it was crushing.

704
00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:27,360
Speaker 1: Well, Mark's gonna get Hall of Fame votes, Oh, certainly,

705
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:30,840
Speaker 1: he's a great, great He's gonna get red zone looks

706
00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:35,719
Speaker 1: this weekend for sure. You know it's Baltimore Buffalo. You know,

707
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:38,120
Speaker 1: I thought yesterday as I was driving home after the show,

708
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:40,560
Speaker 1: I said, I wish they would have put Ravens bills

709
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:41,600
Speaker 1: on Thursday Night football.

710
00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:44,080
Speaker 3: I said, it's gonna be forty eight to eight.

711
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:47,319
Speaker 1: And literally after the first two series by Cowboys, I'm like,

712
00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:49,840
Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on, but that Jalen Carter absence.

713
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:53,400
Speaker 1: We could talk about that again. There are certain players

714
00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:58,080
Speaker 1: in the league. I'll give you an example, Aaron Donald.

715
00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:01,080
Speaker 1: You had to double team Aaron. I mean, I've talked

716
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:03,319
Speaker 1: offensive lineman. They laugh about it. They're like, there were

717
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:06,400
Speaker 1: times Aaron Donald's last year he was triple teams. Yes,

718
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:08,160
Speaker 1: And I think Aaron Donald would have been a pro

719
00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:10,640
Speaker 1: bowler if he came back. I think Aaron was tired.

720
00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:14,160
Speaker 1: Aaron would love this Rams defense because you couldn't double them.

721
00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:16,719
Speaker 1: There's just too many good players. But I think Aaron

722
00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:19,520
Speaker 1: Donald was just he was exhausted from being triple team.

723
00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:22,399
Speaker 1: There is video on the internet of Aaron being triple team.

724
00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:26,040
Speaker 1: That is last year as a pro. There are a

725
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:29,080
Speaker 1: lot of good guys rushing the passer from the side

726
00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:32,640
Speaker 1: the edge. I mean, when I say all time great

727
00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:37,400
Speaker 1: interior lineman, you think of four like Reggie White, Aaron,

728
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:41,239
Speaker 1: Donald Randall, remember the guy for the Vikings. There's not

729
00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:44,759
Speaker 1: a lot of great there. Jalen Carter. There's not that

730
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:50,239
Speaker 1: body type, that big, that quick, that twitchy. So when

731
00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:52,799
Speaker 1: you take him out of that defense. As good as

732
00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:56,080
Speaker 1: Vic Fangio is, I think Vic Fangio in the first

733
00:38:56,120 --> 00:38:58,600
Speaker 1: half was trying to figure out, what.

734
00:38:58,640 --> 00:38:59,160
Speaker 3: Do you do?

735
00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:03,800
Speaker 1: They just think Jalen's so unique. Mike is great, Miles

736
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:06,799
Speaker 1: Garrett's great. But there are ten excellent edge rushers in

737
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:09,279
Speaker 1: the league. There's one Jalen Carter. Chris Jones is the

738
00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:11,360
Speaker 1: only other one, and Chris you can move around.

739
00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:14,120
Speaker 4: Quinnin Williams. I gotta pump him up. Just very gooy good.

740
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:16,480
Speaker 4: He's close to that he league. The interesting thing about

741
00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:19,359
Speaker 4: Jalen Carter, all these guys doing a victory up, Yeah, teams.

742
00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:22,919
Speaker 8: Took them off their board. He's dangerous, radioactive. The guy

743
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:25,279
Speaker 8: was just instrumental to winning a Super Bowl. Okay, you'll

744
00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:28,239
Speaker 8: take that for his screw ups, and then you don't

745
00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:30,200
Speaker 8: give him a second contract. Fine, we got a super Bowl.

746
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:34,000
Speaker 1: Go back to the Rams Eagles game. When the Rams

747
00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:38,480
Speaker 1: are driving, Stafford hits Puka Nakua right sideline in Philly

748
00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:40,960
Speaker 1: and you're like, the Rams are gonna win this game.

749
00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:46,960
Speaker 1: Next two pass attempts, Jalen Carter blew up. By the way,

750
00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:49,640
Speaker 1: when the Rams beat Joe Burrow and the Bengals, remember

751
00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:54,000
Speaker 1: the game winning play Aaron Donald Sean McVay got taped

752
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:56,000
Speaker 1: and he's like, you know, Aaron's gonna do something. Aaron

753
00:39:56,040 --> 00:39:58,160
Speaker 1: blew up the play or Joe Burrow and the Bengals

754
00:39:58,160 --> 00:39:59,040
Speaker 1: were moving down the field.

755
00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:01,359
Speaker 8: The other Jalen Carter thing is Dak did not run

756
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:04,359
Speaker 8: last night. He had went all over three yards and

757
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:06,800
Speaker 8: I just wonder like, if Jalen Carter's disrupting him to

758
00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:08,520
Speaker 8: the middle, he would have been to Dak would have

759
00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:10,399
Speaker 8: been forced for it would have just changed the game

760
00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:12,279
Speaker 8: so much. I had a hot take for your Boy

761
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:16,040
Speaker 8: music here uh during the last commercial break the Dallas

762
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:18,120
Speaker 8: Cowboys based on what I saw last night. Are gonna

763
00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:21,280
Speaker 8: be the Bengals of the NFC. They're gonna be all offense.

764
00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:23,440
Speaker 8: They're gonna scare the hell out of some people. And

765
00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:25,520
Speaker 8: I don't know about that defense. They're gonna hemorrhage a

766
00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:27,279
Speaker 8: lot of points and being a bunch of shootouts.

767
00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:28,759
Speaker 4: Do you agree that yet?

768
00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:29,480
Speaker 3: Kind of thing.

769
00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:34,800
Speaker 1: Also, Also, remember defenses get hurt, right because defensive players

770
00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:37,920
Speaker 1: statistically get hurt more often. So last night the Cowboys

771
00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:42,000
Speaker 1: defense doesn't have Mica, but it's all healthy. Trevon Diggs

772
00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:44,360
Speaker 1: played by the way he did over the course of

773
00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:47,320
Speaker 1: the season. That Dallas defense is gonna be on the

774
00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:50,160
Speaker 1: field a lot. Okay, they're gonna They're not gonna be

775
00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:52,720
Speaker 1: They're not gonna produce a lot of three and outs.

776
00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:56,200
Speaker 1: So that Dallas defense and also the Dallas offense with

777
00:40:56,280 --> 00:40:59,080
Speaker 1: Pickens and CD will have some quick touchdowns. Those guys

778
00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:01,720
Speaker 1: both can go over the top. So that Dallas defense

779
00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:04,400
Speaker 1: by about week eight, nine ten, they're gonna be on

780
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:05,000
Speaker 1: the field a lot.

781
00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:06,600
Speaker 3: What's that mean? They're gonna get dinged up.

782
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:09,440
Speaker 1: I don't think it's a deep defense they I mean

783
00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:12,719
Speaker 1: Mawsey Smith now was an inactive last night. Yeah, that

784
00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:15,840
Speaker 1: means he's done. So he's done. So Mike had done.

785
00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:18,960
Speaker 1: He's a bust. So I think Dallas is deal, right.

786
00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:20,560
Speaker 4: Katy Clark played pretty well in the middle.

787
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:22,600
Speaker 3: Yeah no, no, no, yeah.

788
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:25,600
Speaker 1: Kenny Clark had one of their bigger defensive players of

789
00:41:25,640 --> 00:41:28,799
Speaker 1: the game, Blazing five coming up next
