1 00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:09,920 Speaker 1: This is straight fire with Jason McIntyre. 2 00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:15,400 Speaker 2: What is up? Straight firefam, It's me Jason McIntyre. Straight 3 00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:21,000 Speaker 2: Fire for Tuesday, October twenty ninth. And what was supposed 4 00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:24,720 Speaker 2: to be just a glorious night in sports. You had 5 00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:29,560 Speaker 2: the World Series, you had Giant Steelers, obviously not glorious 6 00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:32,000 Speaker 2: at all. You got a slew of NBA gamest Paolo 7 00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:36,920 Speaker 2: Bancaro dropped thirty seven and a half. It turned out 8 00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:40,120 Speaker 2: to be a pretty grueling, overrated night in sports. I 9 00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:42,600 Speaker 2: gotta say I was so amped for the World Series, 10 00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:47,320 Speaker 2: Yankees Dodgers been clamoring for it for months, and other 11 00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:50,080 Speaker 2: than the drama in Game one with the walk off 12 00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:54,760 Speaker 2: Grand Slam, there hasn't been much. And Game three was 13 00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:59,920 Speaker 2: an absolute dud. Yankee Stadium never got lubricated. The Dodgers 14 00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:04,800 Speaker 2: totally dominate from start to finish. Freddie Freeman goes yard 15 00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:08,600 Speaker 2: again in the first inning. Yankees fans probably you know, 16 00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:11,399 Speaker 2: late arriving crowd, probably not even in their seats, and 17 00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:15,640 Speaker 2: Freddie Freeman gulf's one in the right and it's two 18 00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:18,120 Speaker 2: nothing And the Yankees never recovered. They had no hits 19 00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:21,800 Speaker 2: forever in this game. It was Stanton got thrown out 20 00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:23,880 Speaker 2: at the plate, watching him run with a piano on 21 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:26,279 Speaker 2: his back around third base. It's weird because the camera 22 00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:30,839 Speaker 2: angle was perfect for that play. And as the field 23 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:34,839 Speaker 2: the Taoe gets the ball, you see Stanton running around 24 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:36,640 Speaker 2: third base and you're like, oh, he's slow, there's no 25 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,440 Speaker 2: way he's gonna make it. And the throw is right online. 26 00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:43,560 Speaker 2: Stanton gets nailed, and ultimately the Yankees just go out 27 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:47,960 Speaker 2: with a whimper lose and uh, I don't know, folks down, 28 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:49,680 Speaker 2: oh three, what are we gonna get like Red Sox 29 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,520 Speaker 2: magic here. Gosh, it's just disgusting. It's a bummer because 30 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,040 Speaker 2: this was supposed to be the World Series everybody was 31 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:57,200 Speaker 2: excited for. It's tough to get people tuned into a 32 00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 2: three to nothing series. This was the game. It was 33 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,560 Speaker 2: supposed to be a drama, fun, exciting, and now it 34 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:07,600 Speaker 2: feels anti climactic. In tonight, the Dodgers have yet to 35 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,360 Speaker 2: announce as I'm recording this, who's pitching. The Yanks are 36 00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 2: sending Lewis Gill to the mound, and I don't know, man, 37 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 2: it's just a depressing vibe. Listen, if you're a Dodgers fan, 38 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,680 Speaker 2: obviously you're stoked it's a great win three. But you know, 39 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 2: as a fan of the sport, you're always rooting for 40 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 2: the series to go longer, you know, even if you know, 41 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,480 Speaker 2: if the Jets, while the Jet football doesn't really apply 42 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:32,600 Speaker 2: to this, but you know, let's go Lakers. Lakers are 43 00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 2: in the finals against Celtics, Nicks whatever. You don't want 44 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:40,160 Speaker 2: this to be a Lakers take a three to nothing lead. 45 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,520 Speaker 2: That's not fun. There's no drama. It's disappointing. So I'm, 46 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:46,920 Speaker 2: you know, kind of bummed out about this. Obviously, Dodgers 47 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:50,239 Speaker 2: in the driver's seat, my Yankees not listen. I root 48 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,600 Speaker 2: for the Dodgers, obviously, but I don't even think the game, 49 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 2: the series is coming back to Dodger Stadium. It feels over. 50 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,280 Speaker 2: Yankees feel dead. At least they made the World Series, 51 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:03,119 Speaker 2: and you know, baseball got a pretty damn good postseason. 52 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 2: I will say the Sodo situation is probably going to 53 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 2: be the number one offseason topic in baseball. Somebody's gonna 54 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,240 Speaker 2: pay this guy big, big bucks. And you know, there 55 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:14,920 Speaker 2: was a report the Dodgers might do it. A lot 56 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,680 Speaker 2: of people tried to pour cold water on that. Obviously, 57 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:20,239 Speaker 2: the Yankees don't want to lose him. He's a legend 58 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:24,520 Speaker 2: for that home run in the Guardian Series. Folks, the 59 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 2: World Series is over and we're basically ready to close 60 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:29,920 Speaker 2: the book on the baseball season with the Dodgers up 61 00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:30,360 Speaker 2: three nothing. 62 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in 63 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:37,120 Speaker 1: the nation. Catch all of our shows at Foxsports Radio 64 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 1: dot com and within the iHeartRadio app search FSR to 65 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 1: listen live. 66 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,800 Speaker 2: But fortunately we had a thriller in the NFL right 67 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 2: Steelers Giants and one of the early games identified and 68 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:52,080 Speaker 2: my buddy Nico was texting me like, I can't believe 69 00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 2: you were on the Giants, and like, listen, I sometimes 70 00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 2: you grab numbers. This is the largest spread for the 71 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 2: Steelers in the post Big Ben era. Russell Wilson favored 72 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,000 Speaker 2: by six. It was six, it was six and a half. 73 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 2: It came down to six, sat at six, and I 74 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:11,840 Speaker 2: gotta be honest, I didn't know Russell Wilson had this 75 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 2: in him. Russell Wilson was good. Now we could talk 76 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:16,919 Speaker 2: about the Giants and we will. Don't worry, we will. 77 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,159 Speaker 2: But like Russell Wilson was dropping dimes. I know he 78 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,360 Speaker 2: had the late fumble that gave the Giants some Oxygen 79 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 2: obviously ended with a Daniel Jones getting stripsacked by TJ. Watt. 80 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:31,560 Speaker 2: Oh who could have seen that coming. But Russell Wilson 81 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,359 Speaker 2: was dealing. I mean, he's he dropped the pass to Pickens. 82 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 2: I was like, damn, he hit Austin on a perfect pass. 83 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:41,600 Speaker 2: Like it's weird. Russell Wilson the deep off, it's it's 84 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,719 Speaker 2: almost back for him, and you're like, wow. Remember a 85 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:46,839 Speaker 2: couple of weeks ago, it was like, oh, I can't 86 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,520 Speaker 2: believe they're they're they're dumping fields for Russ. That's insane. 87 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:54,000 Speaker 2: Fields is cooking. And then Russ had that first first 88 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:57,680 Speaker 2: quarter that was ugly on Sunday Night football. I think 89 00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:01,039 Speaker 2: it was Sunday Night football last week. Oh yeah, against 90 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 2: the Jets whatever it was last week two weeks ago. 91 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,880 Speaker 2: Russ did not look particularly sharp. The Bluebirds were out, 92 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,560 Speaker 2: and then of course, you know Russ settled down. The 93 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:12,280 Speaker 2: deep defense carried them and russo Will looked fine, and 94 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,000 Speaker 2: you know Tomlin did his victory lap. 95 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:14,560 Speaker 1: Well. 96 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 2: The Giants had have a really good pass rush. They 97 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,120 Speaker 2: got they got a front that was getting after Russ. 98 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,480 Speaker 2: The pocket was collapsing. They did sack him four times. 99 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,679 Speaker 2: But when given time twenty of twenty eight, two hundred 100 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,839 Speaker 2: and seventy eight yards nine point nine yards per attempt. 101 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,719 Speaker 2: I mean, Russell Wilson was good. The fumble Martch I 102 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,960 Speaker 2: get that, but let's be real. I mean he's thrown 103 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,440 Speaker 2: to Van Jefferson. Can I say the corpse of Van Jefferson. 104 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:41,279 Speaker 2: I mean that's a guy who you know, had a 105 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:42,960 Speaker 2: lot of promise coming out of college and he's just 106 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,480 Speaker 2: bounced around. Austin had a magnificent game with the putt 107 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 2: return and then the long touchdown catch. He used his 108 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:51,760 Speaker 2: tight ends like. It was an all around good performance. 109 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,599 Speaker 2: He clearly loves pickings. They have some kind of connection, 110 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 2: and I was. I was really impressed the Steelers, and 111 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 2: I got to take an Allen this one. I was 112 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 2: so wrong on this team this year. I thought this 113 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 2: was a five or six win team. I'm sure once 114 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:10,200 Speaker 2: you know the Herd is on later this morning and 115 00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:14,160 Speaker 2: we talked Steelers, all these Pittsburgh fans are gonna pull 116 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 2: up the video of me saying, yeah, it's a five 117 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:19,719 Speaker 2: or six win team. It's a total disaster, folks. They're 118 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 2: six and two. That to me is crazy. I didn't 119 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 2: think they beat the Jets. They did lose to the Cowboys, 120 00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,600 Speaker 2: they lost to the Colts, but they beat the Chargers, 121 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:31,680 Speaker 2: the Broncos, the Falcons. Like if I said to you, 122 00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:37,040 Speaker 2: who's their best win, well, the Falcons probably would be 123 00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:40,040 Speaker 2: and that was in Week one. And then there's the Broncos, 124 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,360 Speaker 2: who have a good record, but if you look at 125 00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 2: who they've beat, they haven't beat anybody. The Chargers look okay, 126 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:48,679 Speaker 2: but again they're a very limited team. What's the best 127 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:52,760 Speaker 2: team the Steelers have played? And the answer is it 128 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 2: the Jets. They're not good, but they Jets have a 129 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:57,760 Speaker 2: lot of talent. It's certainly not the Cowboys, who they 130 00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:02,119 Speaker 2: lost to. However, the schedule that's tougher. Right This week, 131 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:07,520 Speaker 2: huge game, I'm talking a big one against the Washington Commanders. 132 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 2: Pittsburgh visits Washington, Jaden Daniels and company. And then after that, 133 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,000 Speaker 2: it's like, oh, well, by the way, Washington will be 134 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 2: the best team the Steelers have faced two date. I 135 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:19,640 Speaker 2: don't think anybody would argue with me on that. Again, 136 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,000 Speaker 2: the Falcons in Game one of the season with immobile 137 00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,800 Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins were not tremendous. The Broncos in Week two 138 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 2: with Bo Nicks were not tremendous, even though the record 139 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,160 Speaker 2: says they're good to point differential and all that. The 140 00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 2: Giants and the Jets stink, the Raiders are awful, and 141 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 2: now you face a Commanders team. This will be their 142 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,239 Speaker 2: toughest test. And after that, oh, hello Lamar Jackson. Hello 143 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:42,600 Speaker 2: on a short week, the rejuvenated Cleveland Browns. Hello Joe Burrow. 144 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:47,040 Speaker 2: Then you get the Browns again, Eagles, Ravens, Chiefs, Bengals. 145 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:49,160 Speaker 2: Nobody has a tougher schedule in the second half of 146 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 2: the season. It's legitimately in play that the Steelers lose 147 00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:56,680 Speaker 2: their final eight games. That's on the table because they're 148 00:07:56,680 --> 00:08:00,080 Speaker 2: going to be underdogs. I would guess outside of the 149 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 2: Browns game in Pittsburgh, I think they're gonna be underdogs 150 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 2: in almost every game, even at home against the Ravens. 151 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:09,000 Speaker 2: There's no way they're gonna be favored, no shot of that. 152 00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:11,280 Speaker 2: Ravens are one of the best teams in the league. 153 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,680 Speaker 2: Bengals are not great. Maybe they're favorite against the Bengals 154 00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 2: in Week eighteen at home, but I feel like a 155 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:22,400 Speaker 2: broken record. Guys. Again, the analytics will back me up here. 156 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 2: The numbers say so. Outside of record I'm just talking 157 00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,480 Speaker 2: about like some of the advanced stats. You look at EPA, 158 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:30,520 Speaker 2: you look at like red zone percentage, you look at 159 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:34,040 Speaker 2: a lot of stuff, and like the Pittsburgh Seelers just 160 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:37,679 Speaker 2: aren't very good. Their record is good, but as a team, 161 00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:39,600 Speaker 2: you just all you can do is play who you're 162 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:41,559 Speaker 2: who's in front of you, and they're whooping everybody. I 163 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,840 Speaker 2: kind of stand by it. Like Kansas City Chiefs, I 164 00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:48,760 Speaker 2: gotta whisper this. The Chiefs are not very good. They're 165 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 2: extremely limited. Now. They keep moving on and plowing everybody. 166 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:55,280 Speaker 2: And they just traded for Josh Ucha from the Patriots, 167 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:58,880 Speaker 2: another pass rusher. It is funny, right, the Chiefs are 168 00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,200 Speaker 2: going all in for the three. I mean, I'm talking 169 00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:05,240 Speaker 2: all in there. They've already made two trades. Okay, how 170 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:08,880 Speaker 2: come the Lions haven't done anything? You know, why aren't 171 00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 2: they adding anywhere? A pass rusher, wide receiver, Go get somebody. Now. 172 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:14,920 Speaker 2: The trade deadline's gonna heat up, and we'll get to that. 173 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:18,360 Speaker 2: But quickly, let me first pick apart the sad sack 174 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:21,920 Speaker 2: New York Giants. Holy cow, these guys suck. You know, 175 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:24,120 Speaker 2: here's what's frustrating when you back a team and it's 176 00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:27,880 Speaker 2: a bad team. We know that, right third down Pittsburgh 177 00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:31,679 Speaker 2: six of thirteen, and I don't have the numbers in 178 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,760 Speaker 2: front of me yet, but I'm almost certain they converted 179 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:37,839 Speaker 2: at least four third and eights. You know, third and long, 180 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:39,360 Speaker 2: you got to get off the field and guys are 181 00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:42,480 Speaker 2: wide open. The Giants just don't have any players. How 182 00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:45,959 Speaker 2: about this dad in the red zone Pittsburgh, oh for four? 183 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:50,360 Speaker 2: No touchdowns, Giants, oh for three. Giants couldn't get out 184 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,200 Speaker 2: of their own way with penalties eleven for sixty five yards. 185 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 2: They had the fumble, they had the interception, they give 186 00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:57,640 Speaker 2: up a special team's touchdown. Like it was just an 187 00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:00,920 Speaker 2: all around cluster for the Giants. You are really a 188 00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:05,520 Speaker 2: two and six just disaster. They're going nowhere fast. I 189 00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:08,079 Speaker 2: don't think they're going to become sellers at the deadline, because, 190 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:12,280 Speaker 2: you know, let's be real, the owner gave Dable the 191 00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:15,400 Speaker 2: dreaded vote of confidence, and they gave it to Joe 192 00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:18,520 Speaker 2: Shane as well, the GM who let Saquon Barkley walk. 193 00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 2: I just I can't find any positives if you're the 194 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:24,720 Speaker 2: Giants from this game. And before you say the kid 195 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:28,600 Speaker 2: Tyron Tracy, I mean folks. He had twenty for a 196 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,160 Speaker 2: buck forty five, including a touchdown that made it interesting 197 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:33,959 Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter. And then what happens, Oh geez, 198 00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:37,160 Speaker 2: look at me. His head drills the ground. He's concussed. 199 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:40,080 Speaker 2: He needs help to get like when he's on the 200 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:43,319 Speaker 2: sideline getting to the medical tent or the locker room, 201 00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:46,280 Speaker 2: whichever one it was. He was removed from the game. 202 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:48,640 Speaker 2: I would not be shocked if they missed him this week, 203 00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:50,560 Speaker 2: and you got to go back to Devin Singletary. They 204 00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:52,920 Speaker 2: found something in Tracy. That kid's got some pop. He 205 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,960 Speaker 2: would be the only positive. Malik Neighbors had a brutal drop. 206 00:10:56,320 --> 00:11:00,400 Speaker 2: He did catch seven of his thirteen targets. Darius Layton 207 00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:05,440 Speaker 2: four for one oh eight, including nearly getting his ribs 208 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:08,319 Speaker 2: broken on a hospital ball from Daniel Jones. Like, Daniel 209 00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:10,760 Speaker 2: Jones is just not accurate, And I'll wrap up the 210 00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:14,040 Speaker 2: giants because nobody gives a shit about these bums. Sorry 211 00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:18,640 Speaker 2: for being so Harshome just upset Daniel Jones. They used 212 00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:22,679 Speaker 2: to call him Vanilla Vic. You guys remember that because 213 00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:27,599 Speaker 2: he was fast. He could outrun folks. He's faster than linebackers. 214 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:30,640 Speaker 2: He could get out of problems. I saw a quarterback 215 00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:35,920 Speaker 2: who was clearly under instructions. Hey, Danny Dimes, we want 216 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:38,040 Speaker 2: you winning from the pocket, do not tuck and run, 217 00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:42,440 Speaker 2: I mean, And he essentially stayed in the pocket all night, 218 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:47,880 Speaker 2: the entire time, just sat around chucking the ball around, 219 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:50,680 Speaker 2: and he was just sitting duck. He was sacked four times, obviously, 220 00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:54,960 Speaker 2: including his stripsacked by Watt right in or near the 221 00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:56,600 Speaker 2: red zone at the end of the d the fourth quarter. 222 00:11:56,920 --> 00:12:00,120 Speaker 2: That was kind of embarrassing. But why is it? And 223 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:01,839 Speaker 2: he's saying, you know what, I'm just gonna scramble to 224 00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:03,880 Speaker 2: get out of harm's way. Why wouldn't you do that? 225 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:07,120 Speaker 2: And it reminded me of when I bet on Kyler 226 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:11,800 Speaker 2: Murray and the Cardinals against Washington, and Kyler Murray, for 227 00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:16,480 Speaker 2: whatever reason, wasn't running. He's just only trying to win 228 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:19,480 Speaker 2: from the pocket. And I'm sure you, yes, you want 229 00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,040 Speaker 2: your quarterback winning from the pocket, but when you're trying 230 00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,760 Speaker 2: to win a football game. And let's be real, the 231 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:28,280 Speaker 2: Giants don't give a crap about Daniel Jones, right, He's 232 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:31,520 Speaker 2: not their future. Why wouldn't you run him into the ground. 233 00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:34,520 Speaker 2: Why wouldn't you say, dude, win this game, do whatever 234 00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:37,120 Speaker 2: it takes. If you got to scramble, go for it. 235 00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:39,840 Speaker 2: He was like afraid to run out of the pocket. 236 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:43,080 Speaker 2: And it just it was mystifying and frustrating. And you 237 00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:47,240 Speaker 2: know that, I guess the New York Giants experience, which 238 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:49,440 Speaker 2: fortunately that was I think that was the first time 239 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:51,600 Speaker 2: I bet on them this season. I'd have to look 240 00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:53,960 Speaker 2: at your schedule and in the contest, I'm just I 241 00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:56,440 Speaker 2: guess I'm extra ornery today because you know, I had 242 00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 2: the Giants in the contest, I had a brutal loss 243 00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:01,960 Speaker 2: with the Dolphins in the contest, ended up one and four, 244 00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:03,920 Speaker 2: and it's just disappointing, you know that, remember that five 245 00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:05,559 Speaker 2: and oh, I was all geeked. I was like top 246 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:08,800 Speaker 2: three hundred in the contest out of the fifty four 247 00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,199 Speaker 2: hundred people. I didn't even check the standings this week 248 00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:13,880 Speaker 2: because I as things unraveled for me, and it's just 249 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:16,120 Speaker 2: that damn contest is so brutal. 250 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:19,440 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in 251 00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:22,800 Speaker 1: the nation. Catch all of our shows at Foxsports Radio 252 00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:27,040 Speaker 1: dot com and within the iHeartRadio app. Search FSR to 253 00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:27,839 Speaker 1: listen live. 254 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:31,640 Speaker 2: But anyways, let's quickly get to some NFL action. Oh 255 00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:34,640 Speaker 2: oh yeah, we'll wrap up with some NBA stuff because sadly, 256 00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:37,480 Speaker 2: some uh some stuff happened in the NBA. It's not 257 00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:41,000 Speaker 2: good last night. But real quick, I just wanted to 258 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:45,320 Speaker 2: touch on a report. So Deontay Johnson of Carolina missed 259 00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:48,960 Speaker 2: the game. He was like a late week scratch and 260 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,360 Speaker 2: it was like one of those hmm no, Deontay Johnson, 261 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:55,480 Speaker 2: huh interesting? And then we hear a report from Adam 262 00:13:55,559 --> 00:14:00,480 Speaker 2: Schefter that Deontay Johnson is expected to betray by the 263 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,959 Speaker 2: end of the week, and it has shades of DeVante Adams. 264 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,079 Speaker 2: If you guys remember with the Raiders where he popped 265 00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:09,800 Speaker 2: up with a mysterious hamstring. Then he's on the trade block, 266 00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:11,319 Speaker 2: then he shipped out of town, and then as soon 267 00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:13,720 Speaker 2: as he get as soon as he gets there, he's 268 00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:18,199 Speaker 2: playing with the Jets. And I don't know Deontay Johnson. 269 00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:19,680 Speaker 2: Is he good? Yes? Is he a bit of a 270 00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:22,400 Speaker 2: headache he was in Pittsburgh. I don't know how much 271 00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:25,360 Speaker 2: of a headache he's been in Carolina, but he certainly 272 00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:27,720 Speaker 2: can add some pop to an offense. Now do you 273 00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:29,640 Speaker 2: want to bring I don't want to call the guy knucklehead. 274 00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:31,360 Speaker 2: Because I don't know him. Do you want to bring 275 00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:34,200 Speaker 2: that in your locker room? Buffalo already up the Anti 276 00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:38,760 Speaker 2: They went and got Amari Cooper. My guess would be 277 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:42,040 Speaker 2: if Diggs is done for the season and the Texans 278 00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:44,760 Speaker 2: absolutely love their team, which they do. They're six and two. 279 00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:50,080 Speaker 2: I don't know did the Texans call up about Deontay Johnson. 280 00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:53,320 Speaker 2: You're gonna need a possession receiver right. Still no verdict 281 00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:56,640 Speaker 2: on Digs at least not that I've seen. But Nico 282 00:14:56,720 --> 00:15:00,240 Speaker 2: Collins is hamstring the soft tissue injury. Not great. Again. 283 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:01,800 Speaker 2: The Texans are six and two, but they have a 284 00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:05,960 Speaker 2: plus nine point differential. Like guys, they got work to do. 285 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,000 Speaker 2: They need talent, and I think the other team that 286 00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:11,040 Speaker 2: could be interesting is the LA Chargers at four and three. 287 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:14,600 Speaker 2: Lad mcconkey's your number one option. He had a phenomenal 288 00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:18,320 Speaker 2: game over the weekend. But wouldn't you bolster the roster 289 00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:20,640 Speaker 2: with Deontay Johnson? Is he gonna fall in line for 290 00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,000 Speaker 2: Jim Harbaugh? And then you go to the NFC And 291 00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:25,240 Speaker 2: I think the one team that jumps out of me 292 00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:28,560 Speaker 2: for Deontay Johnson services the Detroit Lions. That makes all 293 00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:31,920 Speaker 2: the sense in the world. Yes, Amara Saint Brown is great. Yes, 294 00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:34,680 Speaker 2: Jamison Williams is suspended for I believe two games, so 295 00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,240 Speaker 2: he's out one more. They'll miss him against the Packers. 296 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:42,120 Speaker 2: But I'm looking. It's funny. We have my wife's family 297 00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:47,480 Speaker 2: used to host Thanksgiving back in Pennsylvania, and I'm not 298 00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:48,240 Speaker 2: gonna fake the funk. 299 00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:48,480 Speaker 1: Guys. 300 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:51,840 Speaker 2: There's a lot of people in sports media who will 301 00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:55,960 Speaker 2: just act like a character to get clicks or downloads 302 00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:57,440 Speaker 2: or whatever, and then you meet them in real life 303 00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:00,240 Speaker 2: and you're like, WHOA, this guy is not anything at 304 00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:04,720 Speaker 2: all like that online persona. He says inflammatory stuff everywhere, 305 00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:08,520 Speaker 2: but then you meet him and he's like normal. I 306 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:10,760 Speaker 2: Am not one of those guys. I can assure you 307 00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:14,840 Speaker 2: anybody you know that knows me, I'm pretty much exactly 308 00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:17,200 Speaker 2: like how I am on this podcast, how I am 309 00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:18,840 Speaker 2: on the Hurt, That's how I am in real life. 310 00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:24,200 Speaker 2: So anyways, back in Pennsylvania, pre moving out here for television, 311 00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:27,600 Speaker 2: we had, you know, we would have family dinners for 312 00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:31,200 Speaker 2: Thanksgiving with the wife's side and all that stuff, and 313 00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:34,640 Speaker 2: we would talk to the folks and there were a 314 00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:37,120 Speaker 2: couple of people like my age, ish or whatever, and 315 00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:42,000 Speaker 2: you would get to know them whatever. I got a 316 00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:47,120 Speaker 2: nickname from them because I would, you know, keep it real. 317 00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:50,960 Speaker 2: And they started to call me worst case scenario Jason 318 00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:52,920 Speaker 2: because I was always like, oh, are you sure you 319 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:54,960 Speaker 2: want to do that? What about what if? You know? 320 00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:57,600 Speaker 2: And they were like stunned that someone would have this 321 00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:00,640 Speaker 2: kind of attitude, and I was just like being honest, 322 00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:05,400 Speaker 2: you know, and I'm looking at the Detroit Lions, and 323 00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:10,159 Speaker 2: I'm being honest. If amaras Saint Brown goes down with 324 00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:13,040 Speaker 2: an injury, you could kiss the Super Bowl goodbye. I know, 325 00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:15,840 Speaker 2: Ben Johnson is awesome and he's cooking up amazing stuff, 326 00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:19,880 Speaker 2: but there is no depth of wide receiver in Detroit. Yes, 327 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:22,639 Speaker 2: the kid who ran all the punts back, damn it 328 00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:26,080 Speaker 2: is it Raymond. Yes, Jamison Williams is fast, but you 329 00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:28,880 Speaker 2: need dudes. Laporta is starting to emerge after a slow 330 00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:32,560 Speaker 2: start to the season. But I'm thinking worst case scenario 331 00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:36,480 Speaker 2: Amarasaint Brown goes down, What you got? What do you have? 332 00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:39,280 Speaker 2: I mean, maybe you don't want to go get Deontay Johnson, 333 00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:42,920 Speaker 2: but I don't know. Do you call the Tennessee Titans 334 00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:47,800 Speaker 2: and be like, hey, you know, is there any world 335 00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:50,120 Speaker 2: where you guys are willing to move off Calvin Ridley. 336 00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:53,240 Speaker 2: I would doubt it, but you got to ask. 337 00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:53,840 Speaker 1: Now. 338 00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:57,000 Speaker 2: The Jaguars had a guy in Christian Kirk who could 339 00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:58,600 Speaker 2: have had value, but it looks like he's out for 340 00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:02,280 Speaker 2: the season now after stuff bring an injury against the Packers. 341 00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:06,000 Speaker 2: You know, I don't think the Browns are gonna unload 342 00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:10,119 Speaker 2: anyone else. The Jets are mildly interesting, but what are 343 00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:11,760 Speaker 2: you gonna They're gonna give up Allen the z Art. 344 00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:14,240 Speaker 2: I don't see that the Patriots are selling everybody they 345 00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:19,119 Speaker 2: can anything that's not bolted down. I don't think the 346 00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:20,880 Speaker 2: Dolphins are punting on the season. They have a huge 347 00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:23,840 Speaker 2: win against Buffalo this week, but like, there's not a 348 00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:27,280 Speaker 2: ton of studs out there wide receiver now the one 349 00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:29,439 Speaker 2: guy I think could have a lot of value, and 350 00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:32,720 Speaker 2: we'll see what happens what the Titans say, But Lugerious sneed. 351 00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:35,080 Speaker 2: They went out and made a splash sign in getting him. 352 00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:38,560 Speaker 2: He has not been great. The Titans are a total 353 00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:44,440 Speaker 2: train wreck. At minus seventy six, they have the worst 354 00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:48,680 Speaker 2: point differential in the NF. In the AFC, the Panthers 355 00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:51,000 Speaker 2: are by far, oh my gosh, minus one forty seven. 356 00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:55,240 Speaker 2: The Titans are aggressively bad, and you know, I had somebody, 357 00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:58,000 Speaker 2: one of the producers at Fox was like, hey, is 358 00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:00,480 Speaker 2: will Love is really hurt? I was like, I don't know, No, 359 00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:03,560 Speaker 2: I give zero thoughts about the Titans. And they're like, 360 00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:05,720 Speaker 2: because it was like he got hurt in practice and 361 00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:08,480 Speaker 2: now he's missed two weeks. Like that seems a little strange. 362 00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:10,439 Speaker 2: I was like, yeah, it's probably not a shocker, but 363 00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:13,800 Speaker 2: I would look at it from do you call the 364 00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:15,880 Speaker 2: Titans and say, hey, Lugerius Steve, who's on a Super 365 00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:20,719 Speaker 2: Bowl team with kc if I'm like the Washington Red Commanders, 366 00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:24,239 Speaker 2: who have an abysmal secondary just can't stop anybody. Well, 367 00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:27,439 Speaker 2: they could stop Kaleb Williams, but you know, dan Quinn's 368 00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:29,800 Speaker 2: is a smart guy, can cook up some stuff. Wouldn't 369 00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:33,280 Speaker 2: you make a play for him? Again, I'm what, Jason, 370 00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:36,919 Speaker 2: these trades never happened. Well, here's why I'm entertaining the 371 00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:40,240 Speaker 2: idea of making moves. I think it's kind of sort 372 00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:43,280 Speaker 2: of wide open this year. Yes, the Kansas City Chiefs 373 00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:45,840 Speaker 2: have the best record. Yes, they have the best quarterback 374 00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:48,439 Speaker 2: for his career, and they have an amazing coach and 375 00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:51,520 Speaker 2: Andy Reid. They're gonna be tough to beat. But I 376 00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:54,480 Speaker 2: look at them and they don't scare me. No, I 377 00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:58,280 Speaker 2: don't think any defensive coordinators staying up at night worried 378 00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:01,800 Speaker 2: about the skill position guys on the Chiefs. Now, Kelsey 379 00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:03,800 Speaker 2: has looked better in recent weeks. I'm sure he's gonna 380 00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:06,840 Speaker 2: looked great come postseason with Taylor Swift at all the games, 381 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:11,640 Speaker 2: and obviously you've got to you know, Patrick Mahomes is Listen, 382 00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:13,239 Speaker 2: he's not the MVP this year. He's not having his 383 00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:16,760 Speaker 2: greatest season. There's a big article in the Athletic Chiefs 384 00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:19,239 Speaker 2: are seven or zero but not quite perfect, you know, 385 00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:22,320 Speaker 2: and it breaks down just how bad the Chiefs have been, 386 00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:25,960 Speaker 2: and it's like this is Mahomes is the kind of 387 00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:29,800 Speaker 2: worst season by a mile, and they don't scare anybody. 388 00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:32,159 Speaker 2: But again, it's Patrick Mahomes, and playoff Mahomes will be 389 00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:34,720 Speaker 2: different than regular season Mahomes and going for the three 390 00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:38,200 Speaker 2: peat is real. So I don't know. If I'm out 391 00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:41,560 Speaker 2: there in the AFC, I'm making moves. Buffalo's got a 392 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:44,280 Speaker 2: really strong secondary. They probably don't do anything. The Ravens 393 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:49,040 Speaker 2: secondary a little less so, although they showed they showed okay, 394 00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:51,320 Speaker 2: down two guys against the Browns. Now, if you put 395 00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:56,600 Speaker 2: those two starters back in, Jameis Winston going crazy. And 396 00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:58,240 Speaker 2: I just want to remind people who said, oh, Winston 397 00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:00,280 Speaker 2: was great. He had a good game. He also through 398 00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:02,639 Speaker 2: a pass right to Kyle Hamilton that should have been 399 00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:05,879 Speaker 2: intercepted with about a minute left, and Hamilton dropped it. 400 00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:09,040 Speaker 2: On the next play, Winston hit a bomb to Tilman 401 00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:12,040 Speaker 2: for a touchdown. So miss me with the Jamis Winston. 402 00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:14,000 Speaker 2: Oh my god, he was good. I consider picking him 403 00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:16,520 Speaker 2: up in fantasy, but I'm gonna also be honest. He 404 00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:18,480 Speaker 2: tried to throw an interception that would device the game 405 00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:21,760 Speaker 2: for the Ravens. But if I'm Baltimore, yeah, I'm certainly 406 00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:24,000 Speaker 2: looking at a quarnerback and then I guess, you know, 407 00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:27,359 Speaker 2: you know it's gonna sound crazy. But if I'm the 408 00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:30,520 Speaker 2: Tennis the Houston Texans, I'm trying to level up. You've 409 00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:33,000 Speaker 2: got your quarterback on the rookie deal. This is the 410 00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:35,640 Speaker 2: time to make moves. But I do think Washington would 411 00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:41,040 Speaker 2: be the spiciest team to go after Lugarious Need. I 412 00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:44,720 Speaker 2: just don't know how aggressive they want to be. But again, 413 00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:47,920 Speaker 2: quarterback on the rookie deal, Like, why aren't you at 414 00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:52,440 Speaker 2: least getting in the mix for Like, I'm not going 415 00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:55,639 Speaker 2: crazy here, folks. I think Washington legitimately could get to 416 00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:57,840 Speaker 2: the NFC championship game, and if you can get there, 417 00:21:57,920 --> 00:21:59,879 Speaker 2: you certainly can win it. I'm looking at Pro football 418 00:21:59,880 --> 00:22:03,880 Speaker 2: for right now and how Washington's defensive backs grade out. 419 00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:07,399 Speaker 2: Holy held, I didn't even know San ruscill the kid 420 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:09,800 Speaker 2: from Michigan is starting at cornerback. I thought he was 421 00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:12,400 Speaker 2: going to be like a nickel corner. Oh my gosh. 422 00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:17,760 Speaker 2: So he's having an okay year. The kid Noah Igbinoni, 423 00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:20,480 Speaker 2: who flamed out in Miami, he was the first round pick. 424 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:23,600 Speaker 2: He's struggling in the slot, grading out his ninety second 425 00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:25,560 Speaker 2: out of one hundred and ten cornerbacks in the league. 426 00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:29,680 Speaker 2: And then Benjamin Saint Just, who they like, is also 427 00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:32,560 Speaker 2: grading out ninety first out of one hundred and ten cornerbacks. 428 00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:35,919 Speaker 2: So their cornerbacks, according to Pro Football Focus, are sixty 429 00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:39,440 Speaker 2: six the rookie, ninety one for Saint Just, and Noah 430 00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:43,000 Speaker 2: I'm not going to butcher his last name again, ninety second. Okay, 431 00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:45,640 Speaker 2: that's is that stopping Detroit in the postseason? I don't 432 00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:48,160 Speaker 2: think so now the offense could hang with anybody, because 433 00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:51,040 Speaker 2: Jayden Daniels is the man, and Brian Robinson and Eckler 434 00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:53,880 Speaker 2: are good and Terry scary, Terry's awesome, and the offensive 435 00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:58,040 Speaker 2: line has been lights out. A rare good call by 436 00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:01,160 Speaker 2: me on Washington after I foolishly did not buy into 437 00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:04,919 Speaker 2: them in the offseason under the guise of there's just 438 00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:08,879 Speaker 2: too much newness. New owner, new GM, new head coach, 439 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 2: new offensive coordinator, new defensive coordinator, new quarterback. Like, do 440 00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:16,560 Speaker 2: you know that's so much newness in the building. These 441 00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:18,840 Speaker 2: guys barely get to know each other, and boom, now 442 00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:21,800 Speaker 2: they're six and two. So I think the trade deadline 443 00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:24,560 Speaker 2: is going to be super duper interesting. It really comes 444 00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:31,840 Speaker 2: down to this too. Do my New York Jets consider, Hey, 445 00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:34,520 Speaker 2: why don't we be sellers? DJ Reid's going to be 446 00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:38,320 Speaker 2: a free agent. I mean, you got to start to 447 00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:43,000 Speaker 2: save money for Sauce Gardner, who having a rough year. 448 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,199 Speaker 2: But nevertheless, DJ Read's been excellent. Can you get a 449 00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:46,560 Speaker 2: third and a fifth for him? 450 00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:47,840 Speaker 1: Can you? 451 00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,280 Speaker 2: Is somebody willing to is a contender willing to do that? 452 00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:54,159 Speaker 2: DJ Reid is a very good cornerback, and I just 453 00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:56,240 Speaker 2: I mean, I know that the Jets fans don't want 454 00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:58,440 Speaker 2: to hear this, but dude, you gotta start planning for 455 00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:00,919 Speaker 2: the future. I still believe that the best case scenario 456 00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:03,399 Speaker 2: is Aaron Rodgers walking away and retiring. By the way, 457 00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:06,639 Speaker 2: DJ Reid grading out as the fifth best cornerback according 458 00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:10,520 Speaker 2: to Pro Football Focus, and he is well, he turns 459 00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:16,080 Speaker 2: twenty eight here in November. I would just cut bait 460 00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:18,280 Speaker 2: and move off. You know, I would just say, you 461 00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:19,879 Speaker 2: know what, Dj Reid, thank you for your service. You 462 00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:22,199 Speaker 2: were amazing, but we ain't winning shit this year, and 463 00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:24,440 Speaker 2: we could use the draft picks because there's a world 464 00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:29,200 Speaker 2: I reminded Mark Sanchez of this on Monday. When Brett 465 00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:31,760 Speaker 2: Farve was with the Jets, they started out I think 466 00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:34,280 Speaker 2: nine to three, and then they cratered at the end. 467 00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:37,200 Speaker 2: It was total disaster. Then came the whole massage thing 468 00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:41,240 Speaker 2: or what have you, what have you, and they run 469 00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:44,840 Speaker 2: off Farv. The Jets. Then the next year trade up, 470 00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:47,399 Speaker 2: get a new head coach and Rex Ryan, and they 471 00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:50,240 Speaker 2: draft Mark Sanchez and they went to two straight AFC 472 00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:52,520 Speaker 2: championship games. That was the last time the Jets were 473 00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:56,399 Speaker 2: in the playoffs. It's been that long. And I have 474 00:24:56,480 --> 00:25:02,720 Speaker 2: an amazing rant that I'm saving about Aaron Frickin. I 475 00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:05,679 Speaker 2: might say I might fire tomorrow. I just need some 476 00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:07,960 Speaker 2: time away from this wretched team. They just annoy the 477 00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:10,159 Speaker 2: hell out of me. But bottom line is, I think 478 00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:13,760 Speaker 2: there's a world where DJ Reed, Lugarius Sneid. There's some 479 00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:16,879 Speaker 2: really good players out there. J C. Horn in Carolina like, 480 00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:19,200 Speaker 2: there's a bunch of guys who could end up getting traded. 481 00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:23,080 Speaker 2: I will close out the podcast today with just a really, 482 00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:28,160 Speaker 2: really brief goodness gracious, I feel so bad Taylor Hendrix 483 00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:30,000 Speaker 2: of the Utah Jazz. You guys probably have no idea 484 00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:32,240 Speaker 2: who he is. He's a young kid. I think he 485 00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:37,640 Speaker 2: went to UCF and a rookie year last year. This 486 00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:40,359 Speaker 2: is his second year in the league, and he's running 487 00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:42,359 Speaker 2: down the court. I don't know if he hit a 488 00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:47,040 Speaker 2: wet spot or what it was, but his leg like buckled, 489 00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:49,920 Speaker 2: and next thing you know, you see him sitting there 490 00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:54,280 Speaker 2: and his leg is like bent and dangling, fractured fibula 491 00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:58,240 Speaker 2: and dislocated ankle. It was not quite Gordon Hayward, but 492 00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:01,600 Speaker 2: it looked like that. And he's gonna be done for 493 00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:02,960 Speaker 2: this sea. I mean, I don't know how he could 494 00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:05,760 Speaker 2: come back from that, but it was really gruesome.
