Yes, 86 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:59,279 Speaker 1: In Charlotte, North Carolina, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers traveled uh 87 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:03,200 Speaker 1: for a road him against the defending uh NFC champions, 88 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:05,599 Speaker 1: a game that you would think the Panthers desperately needed, 89 00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 1: a battle between two one in three teams, But this 90 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,159 Speaker 1: is football, guys, and you never know what can happen. 91 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 1: Because without Cam Newton, who was still sidelined with this 92 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:20,680 Speaker 1: concussion situation, the Panthers were unable to really get the 93 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:24,920 Speaker 1: offense moving until the second hot half, and after Derek 94 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:29,880 Speaker 1: Anderson threw a costly, costly first in goal um interception 95 00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 1: on a play action pass, the Buccaneers got the ball 96 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:34,560 Speaker 1: at the end of the fourth quarter, marched down the 97 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 1: field and onto the field trot trotted Robert guy Guyo, 98 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:43,520 Speaker 1: a young man, a second round pick who had already 99 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 1: missed three kicks and with maybe his job on the line, 100 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 1: and Jason Jason licked the GM light down, chopping down 101 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:56,640 Speaker 1: on the fingernails, attempted a thirty eight yard field goal 102 00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:58,279 Speaker 1: with a chance to win the game, and it sounded 103 00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 1: like this a thirty eight yard field goal of chemps 104 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:05,160 Speaker 1: for Roberto Aguayo, rookie out of Florida State. Can he 105 00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:08,600 Speaker 1: put her through the uprights? The Paula snap a good one. 106 00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 1: The spot found the kickers airborne. It is airborne. It's 107 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,240 Speaker 1: long enough. It is good. Have the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. 108 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,719 Speaker 1: You have the feet of the Carolina Panthers. In Charlotte, 109 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:21,680 Speaker 1: North Carolina seventeen to fourteen, Roberto Aguayo atones for two 110 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:28,240 Speaker 1: miss field goals knocked off the defending They were a 111 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,320 Speaker 1: couple of issues to deal with there, and we just 112 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:32,279 Speaker 1: wanted to allow you to get through it. That was 113 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:34,960 Speaker 1: Gene decker Off, by the way, sounds like a Gene 114 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,279 Speaker 1: decker Off. I wish we had. Sean McDonagh had a 115 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,680 Speaker 1: great call on Monday and a football getting after him, 116 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,359 Speaker 1: but he was terrific on I was excited about w 117 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:47,040 Speaker 1: D a E in Tampa with the call um Aguayo. 118 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,839 Speaker 1: Roberto Aguayo, who had been three of seven on the 119 00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:53,120 Speaker 1: season before, makes that kick time expires set up. By 120 00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:54,920 Speaker 1: the way, I think a little nod from the football 121 00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 1: gods towards Aguaya, who's going through a lot of stuff 122 00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:00,480 Speaker 1: right now. Um the face mask penalty that made a 123 00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:03,520 Speaker 1: long field goal in that spot, a very makeable field 124 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:06,360 Speaker 1: goal thirty eight plus fifteen. Somebody can help me out 125 00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:10,440 Speaker 1: with that killer flag three yard or um. But the 126 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 1: Bucks win West and a game the Panthers absolutely could 127 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:17,120 Speaker 1: not lose. They do. What's next for Carolina? Well, I 128 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 1: think the Panthers, I think you can. Greg said this 129 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 1: last night. Come December, they're gonna wish they had this 130 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:26,080 Speaker 1: game because they're gonna need it. And they shot themselves 131 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 1: in the foot so many different ways. Derrick Anderson moved 132 00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:30,920 Speaker 1: the ball. Greg Olsen was wide open running through the 133 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:35,160 Speaker 1: secondary all game. It wasn't like they struggled for offense. 134 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 1: They just struggled to hold onto the ball. Derrick Anderson 135 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:43,640 Speaker 1: got caught going for the uh the rushing third down conversion, 136 00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:47,080 Speaker 1: fumbled it in the next The next drive, they eighty 137 00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:49,040 Speaker 1: one yard drive ends at the one yard line when 138 00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:52,880 Speaker 1: he throws an interception on first down, giving you flashbacks 139 00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:56,360 Speaker 1: maybe Mark two, Derek, that's Derrick Anderson. Everyone always like, 140 00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 1: we talked about Derek Anderson one of the best backups 141 00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 1: in league, but we saw why he's a Yeah, Well 142 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,640 Speaker 1: I was. I was sitting in at my at my 143 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,640 Speaker 1: laptop was just about to tweet out, Listen, the Browns 144 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:09,520 Speaker 1: should have just kept Derek Anderson from two thousand and 145 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,000 Speaker 1: ten until now. It would have been just as good anything. 146 00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:15,360 Speaker 1: And I was just about to click send. Four seconds later, 147 00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:19,960 Speaker 1: interception happens, Delete tweet, And I thought that was one 148 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 1: of the worst play calls of the year. And I 149 00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:23,600 Speaker 1: know you could say, well, the play call wasn't bad, 150 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,600 Speaker 1: but no, you gotta know your personnel. Derrick Anderson is 151 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:29,120 Speaker 1: is not a good quarterback. He's a fill in for 152 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:32,000 Speaker 1: your m v P. And you just ripped off three 153 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,400 Speaker 1: straight runs of plus ten yards and you give the 154 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:37,640 Speaker 1: ball again to your back, you get in the end zone, 155 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:39,040 Speaker 1: you let him run it three times in a row 156 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:40,680 Speaker 1: if you have to get in from one yard out, 157 00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 1: putting the ball Derrick Anderson's hands. There was asking for disaster, 158 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:46,680 Speaker 1: not even the worst play call in this game, which 159 00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:48,880 Speaker 1: one was that dark cutter calling for a run to 160 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,720 Speaker 1: set up a long Roberto Aguayo field goal on the 161 00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:54,559 Speaker 1: missed field goal the drive before the game win. The 162 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:58,520 Speaker 1: coaching in this game was driving me crazy. I I 163 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:00,720 Speaker 1: wanted to write right after the game, but it seemed 164 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:03,319 Speaker 1: to mean spirited Dirk Cutter is gonna be the first 165 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,400 Speaker 1: ever head coach to get fired after a win because 166 00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:09,400 Speaker 1: that was one of the worst coaching jobs I've ever seen. 167 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:12,480 Speaker 1: Ron Rivera and Cutter went back and forth trying to 168 00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:16,440 Speaker 1: outBut like blow this game. Cutter wanted no part of 169 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:19,320 Speaker 1: that field goal drive. By the way, the only reason 170 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:22,720 Speaker 1: that they scored is because Ron Rivera kept taking time 171 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:25,440 Speaker 1: outs and forced them to not just run out the 172 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:28,360 Speaker 1: play clock. He had no faith whatsoever in Jamis Winston, 173 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:30,320 Speaker 1: who did not have a good game, but oh, by 174 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:32,800 Speaker 1: the way, had a couple of great third down throws 175 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 1: on that drive to win the game. Ron Rivera's time 176 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 1: out was was totally insane. And the the fact that 177 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:43,760 Speaker 1: right after they ran the ball to set up that 178 00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,440 Speaker 1: long and guile that didn't fail. He did the same 179 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:49,600 Speaker 1: thing again with forty seconds left and time out. He 180 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:51,560 Speaker 1: had plenty of time to move it down the field 181 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:53,680 Speaker 1: and they were ready to just set it up for 182 00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:57,080 Speaker 1: another fifty three yard or by Aguaya. It was wild. 183 00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,800 Speaker 1: Cutter has done this week after week. He has been 184 00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:02,040 Speaker 1: one of the worst coaches in terms of late game 185 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:04,880 Speaker 1: management in the league. This was this was a throwback 186 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:09,760 Speaker 1: game to like the nineteen seventies, before kickers were reliable. 187 00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:12,719 Speaker 1: You don't see games in the NFL now we're a 188 00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:17,480 Speaker 1: fifty kicker causes coaches to do things differently, or one 189 00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:19,720 Speaker 1: coach is worried about his kicker and quarterback, the other 190 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:22,440 Speaker 1: one is worried about his quarterback but has a bizarre 191 00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:25,760 Speaker 1: faith in his defense. I don't know why Riverboat Ron 192 00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:28,040 Speaker 1: thought he had last year's defense. Took it on third 193 00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,200 Speaker 1: and four. That's not that tough of a down that 194 00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:32,560 Speaker 1: they were going to overtime before he took that time out. 195 00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:38,560 Speaker 1: Watching Roberto a Guio kick is Roberto Aguayo kick is 196 00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:42,199 Speaker 1: kind of like when you're stuck in a large conference 197 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,560 Speaker 1: or maybe if you if you it's a church on Sunday, 198 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:48,800 Speaker 1: or it's some speaker where the speaker is struggling and 199 00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,920 Speaker 1: you are just waiting and hoping that they don't continue 200 00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:54,840 Speaker 1: to fumble over their words and have a disastrous time. 201 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:58,079 Speaker 1: As they're starting to sweat more and more, you're cringing. 202 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:00,840 Speaker 1: You're you're rooting for him and not root against him, 203 00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,400 Speaker 1: and it's just you know where he was drafted. It's 204 00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:06,840 Speaker 1: set up this anti drama in this horrible situation form 205 00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:08,960 Speaker 1: early in the year. You're right West. You don't see 206 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,960 Speaker 1: other kickers struggle like this and last on a team. 207 00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:15,200 Speaker 1: What do you do. I mean, let's say his struggles continue, 208 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,200 Speaker 1: do you cut the second round pick? I think you 209 00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:19,720 Speaker 1: have to keep him on the roster and do you 210 00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:22,199 Speaker 1: find another kicker and then you make your special team's 211 00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:26,040 Speaker 1: weaker or whatever you weaken a roster spot for a 212 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,160 Speaker 1: little while. I mean, he was like one of college's 213 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:30,920 Speaker 1: most accurate kickers. It's not that he it's not that 214 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,840 Speaker 1: he can't. It's just that I think it's it's got 215 00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:35,920 Speaker 1: to be mental and you've got to see it through. 216 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,080 Speaker 1: And there's a lesson here because who thinks that he'd 217 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:39,959 Speaker 1: be doin this if he was a sixth round kicker, No, 218 00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:43,040 Speaker 1: it wouldn't be happening. There's a lesson here. Jason like 219 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:45,320 Speaker 1: when he drafted him, said, I like the way this 220 00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:49,400 Speaker 1: kid is wired. You can't predict how how a kicker 221 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:51,760 Speaker 1: is going to handle this. Where did the Panthers go 222 00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:55,200 Speaker 1: from here? Now we got hir schedule their next three 223 00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:57,080 Speaker 1: games and their seasons on the line. In the next 224 00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:00,199 Speaker 1: four weeks they have at New Orleans again him You 225 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,760 Speaker 1: would expect Cam Newton to be back for but you know, 226 00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,439 Speaker 1: we don't know for sure. Uh. Then they have Thereby 227 00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:09,400 Speaker 1: and then they have a matchup at home against Arizona 228 00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:13,560 Speaker 1: and then at l a UM so not a cake 229 00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:15,520 Speaker 1: cake walk, and then you have Casey in New Orleans 230 00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:17,559 Speaker 1: after that. But they need It's not too bad. They 231 00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:19,440 Speaker 1: need to They need to find a win, a way 232 00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 1: to win two of these next three games at the 233 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,600 Speaker 1: bare minimum. Kiss your season goodbye if you don't do 234 00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:26,800 Speaker 1: that well this this game showed it's not just about 235 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,360 Speaker 1: the secondary and it's not just about missing Cam Newton, 236 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:33,800 Speaker 1: because the Bucks are a broken team, missing their top 237 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,600 Speaker 1: two running backs, including the key to their offense, Doug Martin, 238 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:39,440 Speaker 1: missing four of their best five defensive linemen, and they 239 00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:42,680 Speaker 1: weren't that good before missing all those players. So it's 240 00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:45,320 Speaker 1: not about Cam Newton missing this game. To Quiz, Rodgers 241 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:47,160 Speaker 1: ran all over them in the first half. They set 242 00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:49,720 Speaker 1: the tempo. The Panthers defense from a year ago would 243 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:53,400 Speaker 1: have never let that happen. It's it's another reminder that 244 00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:56,400 Speaker 1: that we were destroying Connor or, our co writer last 245 00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:59,319 Speaker 1: week for his power poll where he buried the Panthers. 246 00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:01,720 Speaker 1: It is our group power poll that is beginning to 247 00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:03,920 Speaker 1: look rather foolish. I thought, I don't know if we 248 00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,160 Speaker 1: destroyed Connor, we were more just in awe of him. 249 00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:08,000 Speaker 1: I like to hype it up and make it sound 250 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:15,040 Speaker 1: likens his longtime anti Panthers belief is really coming home 251 00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:17,600 Speaker 1: to Ruth right. Well, but you know if he did 252 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:21,280 Speaker 1: pick against them incorrectly fifteen times last year, so eventually 253 00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:24,120 Speaker 1: he was gonna be right. It's finally coming home, uh 254 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:26,240 Speaker 1: for the old or man. They've get him it as 255 00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:28,800 Speaker 1: one of the best gms in the league, but he's 256 00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:32,360 Speaker 1: put all of his resources into the defensive line. Hog 257 00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:35,040 Speaker 1: Molly's and Blue Goose pass rushers that he loves, and 258 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:38,960 Speaker 1: their leading socker is a benched safety named Trey Boston 259 00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:43,600 Speaker 1: has two sex issues, kwan short and not playing. Well. Wow, uh, 260 00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:45,680 Speaker 1: that's it for the Monday at Football Talk. Let's do 261 00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:54,000 Speaker 1: some news. You doubt the powers of the Great. That's 262 00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,560 Speaker 1: a reference to a cartoon from West and Marks Youth. 263 00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:00,440 Speaker 1: I don't know what that is. It's uh owns from 264 00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:03,040 Speaker 1: the sixties, but we saw it on reruns. Nice attempt 265 00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:07,960 Speaker 1: at ages. Hum. Oh yeah, well Mark is one year older. 266 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:14,160 Speaker 1: Happy birthday. I mean I barely observed it. Tell us 267 00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:16,840 Speaker 1: what happened on your birthday? Hung out with the kids 268 00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:18,640 Speaker 1: and the wife, had a nice time, but very low 269 00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:21,120 Speaker 1: key and not observing not observing it. And you have 270 00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:25,040 Speaker 1: a couple of glasses. I don't need. I don't need 271 00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:28,560 Speaker 1: a birthday for that. But I mean, no, it was. 272 00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:30,800 Speaker 1: It was a we call it a low key evening 273 00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:34,600 Speaker 1: around the homestead fireplace. You said you were enjoying. How 274 00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:38,360 Speaker 1: ugly and bizarre this Monday night game. This was the 275 00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:40,960 Speaker 1: first good so bad, it's good game of the year. 276 00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:42,480 Speaker 1: It was fun watch the end of it. Yes, and 277 00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:45,600 Speaker 1: it was a hideous affair. Uh. Let's do some news. 278 00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:48,200 Speaker 1: We'll start with the San Francisco forty nine is one 279 00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:51,320 Speaker 1: of the very worst teams in the NFL. Uh. They've 280 00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:55,160 Speaker 1: finally decided to make a change at quarterback. Amidst a 281 00:14:55,280 --> 00:15:00,000 Speaker 1: four game losing streak with black Blaine Gabbert starting Chip Kelly, 282 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,400 Speaker 1: he announced that Colin Kaepernick will be the team's starter 283 00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:09,360 Speaker 1: in week five. Kelly announces announces on Tuesday. Uh. Kaepernick 284 00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:13,400 Speaker 1: said quote, I'm excited and ready to go. Blaine Gabbert, 285 00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:16,160 Speaker 1: on the other hand, not happy his quote it sucks. 286 00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:19,520 Speaker 1: I don't like it. Greg He doesn't like it, but 287 00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:24,320 Speaker 1: he can't be surprised. Kenny, he probably is surprised because 288 00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:27,440 Speaker 1: he believes that he's better than Kaepernick. All reports have 289 00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:30,520 Speaker 1: indicated that he's outplayed him in practice. And you don't 290 00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:32,800 Speaker 1: get to where you are being Blaine Gabbert unless you 291 00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:34,520 Speaker 1: have a lot of belief in yourself. But if you 292 00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:36,320 Speaker 1: know he looks at the cold hard facts in terms 293 00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:38,960 Speaker 1: of his yards per tempt five five point nine and 294 00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:42,120 Speaker 1: how many open receivers, you just gotta give it another shot. 295 00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:44,520 Speaker 1: At least we've seen Colin Kaepernick do something at the 296 00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:49,840 Speaker 1: NFL level. We're all we've we've seen enough of Blaine Gabbert. 297 00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:51,920 Speaker 1: We're fed up with him, and in a month will 298 00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:54,560 Speaker 1: feel the exact same way about Colin Kaepernick. I don't 299 00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:57,520 Speaker 1: know why anybody is acting like this was a move 300 00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:00,240 Speaker 1: that was so common sense that Chip Kelly said done 301 00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:03,120 Speaker 1: in a month ago. Gabert. He lost his job to 302 00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:06,360 Speaker 1: Gabbert last year around this time, a guy with a 303 00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:08,560 Speaker 1: five and twenty two record. He lost his job to 304 00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:11,000 Speaker 1: that guy. Then he lost his job to him this 305 00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:15,040 Speaker 1: summer again. There's no reason to believe that Colin Kaepernick 306 00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:20,880 Speaker 1: is some savior here. He was around in the summer. 307 00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:23,760 Speaker 1: Here here's the reasoning why. If you want a reason why, 308 00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:27,840 Speaker 1: he obviously wasn't physically right last year, that's three surgeries 309 00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:30,200 Speaker 1: in the off season speaks to that. But then that 310 00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:31,960 Speaker 1: opens up a whole other But about all of his 311 00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:35,320 Speaker 1: mental problems playing last year when he didn't see open receivers. 312 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:37,400 Speaker 1: There was a one play at the goal line where 313 00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:39,480 Speaker 1: the guy's wide opening. He never even season. That has 314 00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:42,360 Speaker 1: nothing to do with his physical but perhaps the surgeries 315 00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:45,400 Speaker 1: coupled with a new perspective. I mean, what do you 316 00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:48,000 Speaker 1: have to lose? I I thought the blame Gabbett. Maybe 317 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,120 Speaker 1: he earned the job to start the season, but he 318 00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:52,520 Speaker 1: was always blame Gabbett one of the most notorious draft 319 00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:57,360 Speaker 1: bus ever in the last twenty years ranked PFF quarterback, 320 00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:00,640 Speaker 1: and he deserves it because a lot more any most 321 00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:03,080 Speaker 1: of his bigger plays outside of outside of getting up 322 00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:05,240 Speaker 1: fourteen nothing on the Cowboys a couple of weeks ago, 323 00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:08,640 Speaker 1: where he made a couple of nice passes, Gabbert does 324 00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:13,720 Speaker 1: fundamentally incorrect things on on short screen passes and and 325 00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:17,359 Speaker 1: throws two running backs. Absolutely, I agree with Kaeperney, but 326 00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:20,400 Speaker 1: I think the Gabbert effectively worked himself out of the job, 327 00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:23,040 Speaker 1: and this is bad teams when you're floating and you're 328 00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:25,800 Speaker 1: trying to do anything to kind of shift the tide. 329 00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:27,960 Speaker 1: That's so the quarterback switch happens. I don't think Chip 330 00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:30,280 Speaker 1: Kelly is gonna sit around and tell everyone that Colin 331 00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:32,919 Speaker 1: Kaepernick is the guy from two thousand and twelve. Anyone 332 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:36,480 Speaker 1: that's watching. Yeah, he said he's not the same guy. 333 00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:39,560 Speaker 1: But here here's why I think there is just a 334 00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:42,200 Speaker 1: tiny bit of hope. We haven't seen him with Chip Kelly. 335 00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:45,439 Speaker 1: We saw him with Jeep Chris and Jim Tomsula. And 336 00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:48,960 Speaker 1: there's no talent around, you know, Kaepernick or any forty 337 00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:52,000 Speaker 1: Niners quarterback, So it's gonna be hard. But I'd like 338 00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:54,879 Speaker 1: to see him with Chip Kelly. To me, that's a 339 00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:58,399 Speaker 1: different equation than it is with Jeep Chris. And I 340 00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:00,639 Speaker 1: know it was just the preseason, but he had that 341 00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:03,960 Speaker 1: one game that he had after he first made a 342 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:08,440 Speaker 1: statement he was you said he was there in the summer, 343 00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:13,199 Speaker 1: but he didn't practice fully at but he missed a 344 00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:15,240 Speaker 1: couple of weeks in the preseason two within he that 345 00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:19,080 Speaker 1: But that's one of the reasons that Gabbert absolutely dug 346 00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:21,119 Speaker 1: in and got this job earlier. Is because he was 347 00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:23,680 Speaker 1: with his teammates through all of O, T, A S 348 00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:26,440 Speaker 1: and everything else. And I was not able for half 349 00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:28,679 Speaker 1: a training camp, but I I was. One thing is 350 00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:30,639 Speaker 1: I think the next thing is that this doesn't work. 351 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:33,080 Speaker 1: It's not just hey, let's see him in chip Kelly's offense. 352 00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:36,280 Speaker 1: I think Chip Kelly's offense is not the spectacle it 353 00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:38,640 Speaker 1: was when it was unknown a couple of years ago. 354 00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:41,320 Speaker 1: It has been figured out by defenses and that's not 355 00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:43,879 Speaker 1: a huge advantage for Kaepernick. Let's move on, guys to 356 00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:47,400 Speaker 1: another team dealing with some offensive issues. The Baltimore Ravens, 357 00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:51,160 Speaker 1: who after a sixteen ten lost to the Redskins on Sunday, 358 00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:54,280 Speaker 1: made the decision to part ways with their offensive coordinator. 359 00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:58,640 Speaker 1: Mark Tressman has lost his job. The former Bears head 360 00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:01,639 Speaker 1: coach and now the former Ravens defensive coordinator. Let go 361 00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:07,359 Speaker 1: Marty morning wig um Ah, a lifer as an assistant coach, 362 00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:12,000 Speaker 1: takes over um what would be known as a battlefield promotion. 363 00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:14,720 Speaker 1: Morning Way, I don't see do you want us to 364 00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:19,240 Speaker 1: really annoyingly say that Morning Way? Oh? I go with 365 00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:23,560 Speaker 1: Wegg It's way, Well, he doesn't I believe it's it's silent, 366 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,320 Speaker 1: and you've never heard it pronounced more crazy. I've always 367 00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:28,000 Speaker 1: heard it with the G. Now I really wish we 368 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:31,120 Speaker 1: didn't go down this path we go in the show. 369 00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:36,479 Speaker 1: Chris Wesling, you were especially critical of Trustman's play calling 370 00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:38,600 Speaker 1: in our Sunday show. Proof that I will listen to 371 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:43,600 Speaker 1: it your thoughts on this dismissal. Rarely do you see 372 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:48,719 Speaker 1: a one game play calling performance worthy of a dismissal. 373 00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:52,560 Speaker 1: This is the exception. Let's go over some factors from 374 00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:57,960 Speaker 1: this game. Fifty dropbacks for Joe Flacko versus eighteen handoffs 375 00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:01,359 Speaker 1: for the Ravens. The redskin were ranked thirty second against 376 00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:04,520 Speaker 1: the run, Terence West averaging six point five yards per 377 00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:07,520 Speaker 1: carry since he was promoted to the starting lineup. The 378 00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:10,200 Speaker 1: Ravens never trailed by more than six points in this game. 379 00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:15,080 Speaker 1: Washington ranks thirteenth against short passes, thirty feet against deep passes. 380 00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:19,320 Speaker 1: Nine players caught a pass for the Ravens in that game. 381 00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:22,119 Speaker 1: Not one average more than ten yards per catch, which 382 00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:25,520 Speaker 1: is almost unprecedented. Not a single receiver average more than 383 00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:28,119 Speaker 1: ten yards per catch. That's the coup de graw. You 384 00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:31,000 Speaker 1: can't even get ten yards in a game against the 385 00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:34,000 Speaker 1: bad defense. So that game alone, and then the fact 386 00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:38,240 Speaker 1: that Joe Flacco two years ago averaged nine and a 387 00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:42,320 Speaker 1: half yards poor throw average depth of target, it's two 388 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:46,679 Speaker 1: yards fewer under Mark Tressman. That's not Joe Flacco strength. 389 00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:49,359 Speaker 1: It's not Mike Wallace's strength. It's not Preshot Paraman strength, 390 00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:52,800 Speaker 1: it's not the running game strength. He's doing exactly opposite 391 00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:55,280 Speaker 1: of what the personnel sredicting. How about throw in the 392 00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:58,120 Speaker 1: fact that talk about self scouting, you know you've been 393 00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:00,720 Speaker 1: talking up West. West has looked like the best running 394 00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:04,800 Speaker 1: back for Baltimore for weeks and weeks and they had 395 00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:09,720 Speaker 1: him behind someone that they just released. Yeah, and this 396 00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:12,960 Speaker 1: hasn't been just like a one game trend. He has 397 00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:17,480 Speaker 1: completed the fewest passes that traveled over twenty yards of 398 00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:19,479 Speaker 1: any quarterback that's played every game this year, He's he's 399 00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:22,320 Speaker 1: hit five all year. So that's one a game. You 400 00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:24,879 Speaker 1: look at the yards per attempt in the dinkin dunks 401 00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:28,160 Speaker 1: that the week before he threw fifty passes and didn't 402 00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:32,119 Speaker 1: have metch the yardage. And so it was a strange mix, 403 00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:34,640 Speaker 1: I guess, and we we talked about it a little 404 00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:37,040 Speaker 1: bit too. I think Mark Tressman has that reputation a 405 00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:40,840 Speaker 1: bit as a professorial type that maybe that's not going 406 00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:44,399 Speaker 1: to resonate with every player. That's not necessarily fair. He 407 00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:46,320 Speaker 1: was put into this position. He is who he is. 408 00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:49,200 Speaker 1: But Harba is not afraid to fire people. He's shown 409 00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:53,760 Speaker 1: that guys like Josh McDaniels and Bill Belichick for adjusting 410 00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:57,240 Speaker 1: to their player's strength. Yeah, and we we don't cite 411 00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:59,800 Speaker 1: examples of the opposite. This is it. He tried to 412 00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:01,960 Speaker 1: turn and Joe Flacco into a guy who makes short, 413 00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:05,399 Speaker 1: short window throws, you know, ten yards with an a 414 00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:07,879 Speaker 1: line of scrimmage. He's a gun slinger attacks down the 415 00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,280 Speaker 1: field off of play action, and that's what they should 416 00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:13,080 Speaker 1: be doing. Last time the Ravens fired their offensive coordinator, 417 00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:14,639 Speaker 1: they went to the Super Bowl and they won the 418 00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:17,600 Speaker 1: Super Bowl. That was Cam Cameron. Back in December twelve, 419 00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:20,560 Speaker 1: Jim Caldwell was the O C and he ended up 420 00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:23,520 Speaker 1: getting a head coaching job eventually. UM, I don't think 421 00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:26,800 Speaker 1: Marty Morton way and I think it is Wegg take 422 00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:32,000 Speaker 1: it all back. I gotta keep it in to get in. 423 00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:34,760 Speaker 1: Marty Hopts have a similar run all the way to 424 00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:37,840 Speaker 1: February and football. We'll see how it plays out plays out. 425 00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:41,359 Speaker 1: Speaking of the Ravens, here's a former Raven justin Forcett, 426 00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:44,360 Speaker 1: who rushed for twelve yards for John Harbaugh a couple 427 00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:47,960 Speaker 1: of years back. Was released last week after kind of 428 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:51,560 Speaker 1: falling out of favor in their in their offensive scheme. 429 00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:55,040 Speaker 1: He has landed with the Detroit Lions, a team that 430 00:22:55,200 --> 00:23:00,160 Speaker 1: certainly can use some help rookie Dwayne Washington, how having 431 00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:03,200 Speaker 1: some ankle issues. Theoretic really isn't that type of guy. 432 00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:05,600 Speaker 1: And of course a Mira Abdula, we might be we 433 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:07,600 Speaker 1: might have seen the last of him. He suffered a 434 00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:10,520 Speaker 1: foot injury a couple of weeks ago. Mark Good signing 435 00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:13,040 Speaker 1: for detroitter won't make a ripper. I think they absolutely 436 00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:16,200 Speaker 1: just need someone in that backfield to start to take charge. 437 00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:18,320 Speaker 1: And it's the last couple of games when they've not 438 00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:21,680 Speaker 1: had a duel in there. They're averaging about sixty five 439 00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:23,960 Speaker 1: yards per game on the ground, and I feel like 440 00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:27,960 Speaker 1: Detroit for years and years post Barry Sanders has been 441 00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,879 Speaker 1: one of these teams that just has struggled to find 442 00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:33,119 Speaker 1: a running back that you can count on for a 443 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:35,960 Speaker 1: year after year it's always this, you know, HOJJ POJ, 444 00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:38,359 Speaker 1: this committee. I like theo Ritic some of the things 445 00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:40,919 Speaker 1: he does, but he's not a workhorse running back. So 446 00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:43,800 Speaker 1: when you get the injuries they've had for set is 447 00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:47,360 Speaker 1: probably gonna see work right away, a lot of it. Yeah, 448 00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:49,600 Speaker 1: I think he'll be there early down back and maybe 449 00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:52,320 Speaker 1: he can average four yards per carry. Maybe they should 450 00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:54,320 Speaker 1: never use him in the passing game because that has 451 00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:57,080 Speaker 1: gone from my strength to a major weakness in his 452 00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:58,800 Speaker 1: game over the last few year. I mean, Riddick isn't 453 00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:00,560 Speaker 1: and they have Riddick for that yet, I Ridic is 454 00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:02,639 Speaker 1: a foundation guy for them. He's a guy who has 455 00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:05,719 Speaker 1: a long term contract. At what he does, he's one 456 00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:07,600 Speaker 1: of the very best in the league as West you 457 00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:10,720 Speaker 1: know put on his best thurned down backs. They just 458 00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:13,040 Speaker 1: need someone to carry the ball, and I guess they're not, Uh, 459 00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:17,320 Speaker 1: they're not into Zack Zentner and Dwayne Washhington's gotta get healthy. 460 00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:21,680 Speaker 1: Moving out, Let's talk some Cleveland Browns football and their 461 00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:26,639 Speaker 1: quarterback carousel continues to spend. Charlie Whitehurst a favorite of 462 00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:30,000 Speaker 1: the Around the NFL podcast. We would play Glysserene right now, 463 00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:32,360 Speaker 1: but we've been robbed of the right to do that. 464 00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:40,359 Speaker 1: So just imagine a Bush single from right now. Okay, uh, 465 00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:43,680 Speaker 1: it's a rare time that actually not having the music 466 00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:47,440 Speaker 1: might be good. Bush is the worst. I saw Gavin 467 00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:50,720 Speaker 1: Rossdale at a restaurant that Gregg suggested my wife and 468 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:53,719 Speaker 1: I go to and just connect the dots there. Maybe 469 00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:58,119 Speaker 1: Gavin Rossdale also frequents this hi restaurant, our Korean restaurant, 470 00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:00,200 Speaker 1: and one day there was some type of snap foo 471 00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:04,920 Speaker 1: about a table now together. No, I was just someone 472 00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:09,879 Speaker 1: that watched uh MTV all day and when Machine Head 473 00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:12,760 Speaker 1: came on or whatever their first single was, it was 474 00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:16,280 Speaker 1: the worst song ever. Everything was it was. It was terrible. 475 00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:20,760 Speaker 1: Can't we get Patrick Kaganga to Emmy late put it 476 00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:23,520 Speaker 1: in our put in our studio, Kaganga our second floor 477 00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:28,760 Speaker 1: guitar whiz. By the way, Gregg and underrated foodie. He's 478 00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:31,040 Speaker 1: he's rated. I mean, I don't know if people would 479 00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:33,400 Speaker 1: know that. Well, all Right'm not saying that we don't 480 00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:37,720 Speaker 1: know that about him. Lollipops. Greg doesn't like to acknowledge 481 00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:39,920 Speaker 1: these a foodie. He calls his wife a foodie. Yeah, 482 00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:42,919 Speaker 1: she was a chef, you know, that was that was 483 00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:45,240 Speaker 1: her occupation. So that really brought me into the world 484 00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:48,160 Speaker 1: of culinary delight. All right, so let's go down the list, 485 00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:53,720 Speaker 1: spoken like a true foodie delight. R G three one game, 486 00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:58,960 Speaker 1: Josh McCown came in. One game, Cody Kessler after McCown. 487 00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:02,760 Speaker 1: Is that correct? More? Yeah, one couple of games. Ch 488 00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:06,800 Speaker 1: has Whitehurst rolled in. Now he's done, Uh, he's been cut? 489 00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:08,639 Speaker 1: Did I ever say that he has been released by 490 00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:12,959 Speaker 1: the Browns? And now is Kevin Hogan's turn? Is that correct? Mark? Well, 491 00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:16,920 Speaker 1: it's it sounds like Kessler will is on track, tokay, 492 00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:20,280 Speaker 1: and McCown doesn't sound like he's too far away from 493 00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:22,600 Speaker 1: coming back. So there. I think what they're saying is 494 00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:25,800 Speaker 1: we'd rather have Kevin Hogan on the active roster than 495 00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:28,560 Speaker 1: Charlie Whitehurst too. Yeah. Look, the only thing I said 496 00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:30,840 Speaker 1: about Charlie white Hurst oring on Sunday was I would 497 00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:34,399 Speaker 1: rather develop, or even try or see a young quarterback 498 00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:36,120 Speaker 1: on a team that's gonna go about one in fifteen 499 00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:38,800 Speaker 1: than Charlie white Hurst. There's literally nothing to know about 500 00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:41,200 Speaker 1: Charlie Whitehurst. He and you know by the way he 501 00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:43,679 Speaker 1: hurt the team, the offense got a lot worse with 502 00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:46,320 Speaker 1: him on the field. So you know there's no mystery 503 00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:49,040 Speaker 1: around him. I don't. I know you guys may find 504 00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:52,480 Speaker 1: him entertaining. He was not entertaining me. Tell that to Jewel. 505 00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:55,440 Speaker 1: No mystery, nothing to find out about him. As long 506 00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:57,240 Speaker 1: has she been did those two have been learning about 507 00:26:57,280 --> 00:27:01,280 Speaker 1: each other from she keeps on covering? How much mystery 508 00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:03,680 Speaker 1: is left for Jewel? And you know who? I thought? 509 00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:06,520 Speaker 1: He was a guy with layers. Nashville magazine that listed 510 00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:12,639 Speaker 1: to one of the hottest apologies to that. Obviously that 511 00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:15,119 Speaker 1: publication is searching for answers if that's what they need 512 00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:17,600 Speaker 1: to get going, like seventy three men in Nashville and 513 00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:21,960 Speaker 1: not to Ashville Heat against man. There what it's nice 514 00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:24,919 Speaker 1: to see little Kevin Hogan all grown up? Um and 515 00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:28,600 Speaker 1: not to blue Labor the point, but this seems especially like, wait, 516 00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:30,480 Speaker 1: what's going on Kevin Hogan? Does he sound like a 517 00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:33,240 Speaker 1: sitcom character from the eighties, like a mixed between Kevin 518 00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:36,280 Speaker 1: Arnold and there was the Hogan family. There was the 519 00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:39,880 Speaker 1: Hogan family with Sandy Duncan who had a glass eye. 520 00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:43,280 Speaker 1: But thanks for not trampling on my little I didn't trampling. 521 00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:44,920 Speaker 1: I just wanted to make sure I got its proper 522 00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:47,399 Speaker 1: do and people can decide whether it was good or not. 523 00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:51,040 Speaker 1: The public decide, but not to be labor the point. 524 00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:56,000 Speaker 1: But all the carouself sadness here uh juxtapus was posed 525 00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:59,280 Speaker 1: against the issue when Philadelphia with Carson Wentz. Come on, 526 00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:01,440 Speaker 1: enough of this, Well, it's a problem. I I found 527 00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:04,000 Speaker 1: a Scouts note on Hogan. Who he's You know, he 528 00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:05,720 Speaker 1: won a lot of games at Stanford, but he's not 529 00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:08,520 Speaker 1: seen as a pro ready type quarterback. This is on 530 00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:11,120 Speaker 1: our website and this isn't quote. Some coach is gonna 531 00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:13,879 Speaker 1: fall in love with the person and bang on the 532 00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:16,439 Speaker 1: table to take him late in the six or seventh. 533 00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:19,960 Speaker 1: That's fine. I think the Chiefs did take him in 534 00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:22,239 Speaker 1: the fifth, right, and then they cut and they cut him, 535 00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:24,440 Speaker 1: they cut him. You know what. I like the idea 536 00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:26,080 Speaker 1: of it. You never know where these guys are gonna 537 00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:31,800 Speaker 1: come from, do it? Wait? Factory has been replaced by Carousel. 538 00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:35,520 Speaker 1: Well the quarterback situations that carousel. The Factory is the larger, 539 00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:40,040 Speaker 1: which is built on an Indian burial ground. This is 540 00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:42,240 Speaker 1: there's a lot of layers to the narrative around the 541 00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:44,160 Speaker 1: Browns and they will eventually win a Super Bowl and 542 00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:45,960 Speaker 1: it won't even be that satisfying. So I don't know 543 00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:50,560 Speaker 1: what I'm doing it because by the next day it's 544 00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:52,040 Speaker 1: like I got to go back to work. Everyone's like 545 00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:54,080 Speaker 1: slapping on the back, Hey, that's cool your team one, 546 00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:56,000 Speaker 1: and then like you still have real life problems, like 547 00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:58,560 Speaker 1: I'm not eight years old. What am I doing all 548 00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:02,880 Speaker 1: this for? Yeah? I think I think that's something that 549 00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:06,000 Speaker 1: could waiting for this magical moment from your childhood to 550 00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:07,960 Speaker 1: be like hatched out of an egg. But there is 551 00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:12,000 Speaker 1: no magical moment mark We're all gonna die anyway. Listen again, 552 00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:14,360 Speaker 1: I feel out of place on this podcast because when 553 00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:16,560 Speaker 1: the Jets win the Super Bowl, God willing, in the 554 00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:19,960 Speaker 1: next forty years, when I'm still alive, that will be 555 00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:22,440 Speaker 1: a magic It's just a self defense mechanism. I will 556 00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:24,920 Speaker 1: enjoy it too. I hope you have to work just 557 00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:27,200 Speaker 1: not gonna happen. We can speak to eally about giving 558 00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:29,400 Speaker 1: you the next day off. I think what you're hitting on, though, 559 00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:33,760 Speaker 1: as you're growing older you think about it, maybe what 560 00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:35,800 Speaker 1: is what is all this? Is it going to be 561 00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:38,240 Speaker 1: as satisfying as if you were saying, yeah, I think 562 00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:41,960 Speaker 1: about going to be It could be more satisfying. I'll 563 00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:44,960 Speaker 1: go the other way because the weight makes it more special. Yeah, 564 00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:47,160 Speaker 1: but your life doesn't revolve around it to the same 565 00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:49,440 Speaker 1: way did when you were seventeen. You didn't have a 566 00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:52,840 Speaker 1: ton of interest. All right, can we go on. I'm 567 00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:55,440 Speaker 1: a die hard fan of my sports teams. You guys 568 00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:57,280 Speaker 1: are all jaded journals. What do you want from me? 569 00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:02,440 Speaker 1: I'm not Yeah, okay, jaded old men. Moving on, Gary 570 00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:07,719 Speaker 1: Kubiak will not coach the Broncos on Thursday against the Chargers. Uh. 571 00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:12,080 Speaker 1: He's dealing with complex my a complex migraine condition which 572 00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:15,720 Speaker 1: does not sound fun. That announced by general manager John Elway. 573 00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:19,920 Speaker 1: So against the Chargers, we will not have Uh Kubiak 574 00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:23,680 Speaker 1: on the sidelines. Instead, it will be special teams coordinator 575 00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:27,160 Speaker 1: Joe D. Camillis. Uh. And I would thought would be 576 00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:30,200 Speaker 1: Wade Phillips on a but but apparently they decided to 577 00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:34,040 Speaker 1: go with old sugar bug Joe D. Yeah, and Uh. 578 00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:36,360 Speaker 1: I don't know if that will play a big effect 579 00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:38,600 Speaker 1: of the game, but it certainly could. I actually wonder 580 00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:40,840 Speaker 1: if that isn't a smart decision because you can allow 581 00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:43,240 Speaker 1: the strength of the team and the coach who directs 582 00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:47,080 Speaker 1: that Wade Phillips to be completely unencumbered by other stuff. 583 00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:49,320 Speaker 1: If you gotta seal if this is a one weekend point, 584 00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:51,880 Speaker 1: keep the defense in place. And obviously like they've got 585 00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:53,840 Speaker 1: a lot of experience, that staff has got a lot 586 00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:56,240 Speaker 1: of experience. Dude, what's the special teams coordinate you have 587 00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:58,000 Speaker 1: to do for a brighton Well that that's basically what 588 00:30:58,040 --> 00:30:59,800 Speaker 1: they said. They didn't want to take away from their jobs. 589 00:30:59,880 --> 00:31:03,000 Speaker 1: And it's a way that you try to get Joe D. 590 00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:05,480 Speaker 1: Camillis's name out there. He's a guy who's interviewed for 591 00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:08,920 Speaker 1: two head coaching jobs. Jilton Joe D. Camillis so coas 592 00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:11,520 Speaker 1: just throwing him a solid absolutely, because Wade Phillips knows 593 00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:14,280 Speaker 1: he's not gonna be a head coach anymore. Gary Kubiak 594 00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:16,160 Speaker 1: is trying to get this guy's name and get him 595 00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:19,160 Speaker 1: out there. He's interviewed for head coaching jobs that are 596 00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:21,600 Speaker 1: special teams coach. He's had a couple and I don't 597 00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:24,960 Speaker 1: want to um, you know, speak for a man's physical 598 00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:28,120 Speaker 1: uh condition in life. I don't know what's going on 599 00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:30,040 Speaker 1: with Gary Kubiak, but I do remember a few years 600 00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:32,640 Speaker 1: ago he collapsed on the field at halftime. Was coaching 601 00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:35,760 Speaker 1: the Texans, So that was a brain issue as it 602 00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:39,520 Speaker 1: turned out. Now he's got this complex migraine thing. You know, Bro, 603 00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:42,640 Speaker 1: you got your ring, you got maybe you've got to 604 00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:44,520 Speaker 1: think about at a certain point, is is this a 605 00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:46,920 Speaker 1: job for you? At a certain point, I wonder if 606 00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:48,640 Speaker 1: he will be a guy that steps away from the 607 00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:51,520 Speaker 1: game sooner than you would think because of this. The 608 00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:54,400 Speaker 1: tension is is that he's actually not that old. It's 609 00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:57,360 Speaker 1: not like right, So he's actually one of the He's 610 00:31:57,480 --> 00:31:59,880 Speaker 1: right in the middle of the coaching ages, and it's 611 00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:03,160 Speaker 1: tension between wanting to get another ring, wanting to completely 612 00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:07,240 Speaker 1: cement your you know, your whole career and have people 613 00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:09,360 Speaker 1: look at you in a different way, versus walking away, 614 00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:11,640 Speaker 1: you know. And these guys, I'm surprised there aren't more 615 00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:15,480 Speaker 1: coaches struggling with overt health issues. With the hours and 616 00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:17,520 Speaker 1: the stress thunder, it is one of the most unhealthy 617 00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:20,960 Speaker 1: jobs in America. Kubiak is fifty five years old with 618 00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:26,160 Speaker 1: the hair of a nine year old boy. This jet black, Sure, 619 00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:30,600 Speaker 1: it's all natural. Finally, the Chargers. Members of the Chargers 620 00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:34,760 Speaker 1: are unhappy with their kicker, Josh Lambeau. After the CBS 621 00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:39,120 Speaker 1: broadcast um minutes after the botched field goal attempt that 622 00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:41,760 Speaker 1: Lambo never got a chance to kick. The snap was 623 00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:46,880 Speaker 1: mishandled um, leading to another crushing loss, this time to 624 00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:51,680 Speaker 1: the Oakland Raiders. Lambeau was captured by CBS uh kind 625 00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:56,240 Speaker 1: of running after Uh Sea Bass Sebastian Janikowski with a 626 00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:58,240 Speaker 1: big grin on his face, and then they had another 627 00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:03,240 Speaker 1: shot of um Josh Lambeau with a laughing with John A. 628 00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:05,880 Speaker 1: Cask as he walked out of frame. And apparently this 629 00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:11,360 Speaker 1: has led to some tensions in the San Diego locker room. Mark, 630 00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:13,040 Speaker 1: what did you see here? Did this bother you? If 631 00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:14,920 Speaker 1: you were a member of the Chargers are a fan 632 00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:17,360 Speaker 1: of the team, Well, it happened after the game, and 633 00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:22,120 Speaker 1: if you watch the full broadcast these games, there are 634 00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:26,719 Speaker 1: countless players from the losing team going up to friends 635 00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:30,280 Speaker 1: and coaches and former associates on the other team being 636 00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:33,200 Speaker 1: good sports frankly, and like the game is sucks, the 637 00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:36,360 Speaker 1: ending sucked, but they're human at that point in there. 638 00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:38,800 Speaker 1: They're able to deal with it a little differently than 639 00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:41,440 Speaker 1: some fans. So no, it doesn't bother me the way 640 00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:44,120 Speaker 1: in the context of how it happened. It's because he's 641 00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:46,760 Speaker 1: a kicker exactly. It's because he's a kicker. If he 642 00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:48,880 Speaker 1: was any other position, they're not seen as the same 643 00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:51,400 Speaker 1: as the other fifty two guys in the roster. And 644 00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:56,160 Speaker 1: I see the point that if if it's a repeat 645 00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:59,120 Speaker 1: problem and somebody's not taking their job seriously or their 646 00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:02,760 Speaker 1: laws seriously, everybody in the team should say something to him. 647 00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:04,600 Speaker 1: But if it's a one time thing and it's just 648 00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:07,440 Speaker 1: after a game. I've played a lot of sports, and 649 00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:09,560 Speaker 1: if I had a teammate come to me with an 650 00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:11,879 Speaker 1: issue with that, there would be a confrontation. You don't 651 00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:14,120 Speaker 1: get to tell me how to handle a loss. That 652 00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:16,480 Speaker 1: there's no one right or wrong way, And you've got 653 00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:18,680 Speaker 1: to be a self centered jerk to think that the 654 00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:20,680 Speaker 1: way you react to a loss is the only way 655 00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:24,640 Speaker 1: that's acceptable. There's a um there's a double standard to 656 00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:27,839 Speaker 1: play here too, because no one treats the kicker as 657 00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:30,000 Speaker 1: a real member of the team, But then you want 658 00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:32,120 Speaker 1: him to react in the same way as everyone else 659 00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:34,000 Speaker 1: on the team. That a guy that played every play 660 00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:36,960 Speaker 1: on defense at linebacker and uh, you know, played his 661 00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:39,600 Speaker 1: heart out and lost, So it's got you know, that's 662 00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:41,359 Speaker 1: a tough life for kickers. Just what we talked about 663 00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:44,080 Speaker 1: Roberto Iguayo. It's a tough life for him. It's a 664 00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:46,520 Speaker 1: tough life for the lambinator. How about the how about 665 00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:49,960 Speaker 1: the holder who blew blew that? And just before he 666 00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:53,520 Speaker 1: dropped that hold, he had a seventeen yard punt out 667 00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:57,840 Speaker 1: of bounds that's set up a raiders. He was probably 668 00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:00,160 Speaker 1: still in his head thinking about that chunk when he 669 00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:02,239 Speaker 1: dropped the field goal. And here's one other bit about 670 00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:06,279 Speaker 1: like going back to West's point, um Julio Jones after 671 00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:09,680 Speaker 1: that crushing playoff lost a couple of years back, uh 672 00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:12,520 Speaker 1: to was it the forty Niners? This game he had 673 00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:15,879 Speaker 1: where he went nuts and they lost in the last 674 00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:18,440 Speaker 1: play where um, it was a target towards Tony Gonzalza 675 00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:20,600 Speaker 1: didn't work out. He was not upset at all in 676 00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:22,319 Speaker 1: the locker room, and they asked him why. He said, 677 00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:25,080 Speaker 1: because I literally did everything I could. I have nothing 678 00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:27,160 Speaker 1: to be ashamed of it. I I did my part 679 00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:29,720 Speaker 1: and it just didn't work out. These guys react differently 680 00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:32,480 Speaker 1: to losses. Some guys are gutted. Some guys they kind 681 00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:34,440 Speaker 1: of have a different way of looking and then they 682 00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:36,919 Speaker 1: freak out of two head coaches don't shake hands after 683 00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:38,799 Speaker 1: a game too, so it's like, you know, you can't 684 00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:41,800 Speaker 1: please there's no dynamic here that would please everyone. Okay, 685 00:35:41,920 --> 00:36:21,879 Speaker 1: that's what's happening in the news. Okay, guys, let's do it. O. Yes, 686 00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:29,560 Speaker 1: it's a serious special high all right, it's time.

At this point, 712 00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:06,759 Speaker 1: as we now take this to vote um, you have 713 00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:09,799 Speaker 1: to be feeling very confident. There's nothing in your mind 714 00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:12,160 Speaker 1: or is there that would lead you to have any 715 00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:14,239 Speaker 1: doubts that this is the right team now five and oh, 716 00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:16,359 Speaker 1: the only undefeated team in the NFL. Well, the only 717 00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:19,200 Speaker 1: issue would be if we keep going and it sounds 718 00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:20,520 Speaker 1: like we're not going to We're gonna pull this out 719 00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:23,640 Speaker 1: today that it's people. I'm getting tweets, Oh the Vikings 720 00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:25,960 Speaker 1: are too good. This is a front runner team, and 721 00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:29,520 Speaker 1: it's like, I'll be honest, I though I was tweeting 722 00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:32,640 Speaker 1: about this on after the week to win, when people 723 00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:35,359 Speaker 1: still had plenty of issues over Sam Bradford and when 724 00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:38,239 Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson had just been lost for the season, so 725 00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:40,520 Speaker 1: it wasn't a front running team. Then it was a 726 00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:43,200 Speaker 1: team that has since proven what they are, which is 727 00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:45,840 Speaker 1: for me, a fun to watch team. Are they perfect? No, 728 00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:47,680 Speaker 1: But I kind of like that about him too, And 729 00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:49,960 Speaker 1: for a lot a lot of things for me starts 730 00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:53,120 Speaker 1: with Mike Zimmer and it starts with someone like Sam Bradford, 731 00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:56,320 Speaker 1: who I've never been able to root for in the NFL. 732 00:38:56,719 --> 00:38:59,279 Speaker 1: I find that to be a different situation now, and 733 00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:01,839 Speaker 1: it's like last week you stay, you take Stephon digs out, 734 00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:04,239 Speaker 1: doesn't matter, someone else steps up. I just like the 735 00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:06,279 Speaker 1: way that they operate from week to week. They are 736 00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:09,279 Speaker 1: fun for me to watch, and that's my vote. We'll 737 00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:14,520 Speaker 1: forget forget this after a week two, which which you're right, 738 00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:18,560 Speaker 1: this was a team that you were honking about in August, 739 00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:21,320 Speaker 1: and of course, you know, the injury to Teddy Bridgewater 740 00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:24,200 Speaker 1: shook some people's confidence in terms of what is the 741 00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:26,360 Speaker 1: upside of this team. But that's why to me that 742 00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:29,360 Speaker 1: they're so exciting is because of the story, because of 743 00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:32,320 Speaker 1: the people they're missing and because they keep fighting and 744 00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:34,960 Speaker 1: West you you said that you were going to go 745 00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:39,480 Speaker 1: back and rewatch the Minnesota Vikings and the Oakland Raiders 746 00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:41,960 Speaker 1: and uh see if you could formulate an opinion that 747 00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:44,760 Speaker 1: maybe would allow you to vote for one of these teams. 748 00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:48,399 Speaker 1: What were your thoughts after rewatching the five Minnesota games. 749 00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:53,239 Speaker 1: So Friday, I went into my layer, tried to get 750 00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:57,040 Speaker 1: some findings like you do, dialed up game pass, and 751 00:39:57,520 --> 00:40:00,239 Speaker 1: you know, I I quite enjoyed it. And part of 752 00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:02,359 Speaker 1: it was messages I was getting on Twitter and our 753 00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:08,680 Speaker 1: subreddit from very sweet, thoughtful, charming Vikings fans basically saying, please, 754 00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:12,719 Speaker 1: you know, excuse the people who have been idiots, and 755 00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:15,520 Speaker 1: we'd just like you to consider our team out of 756 00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:17,239 Speaker 1: the kindness of your heart. And they were, they were 757 00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:20,719 Speaker 1: very gracious messages, and I took that into consideration, and 758 00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:24,120 Speaker 1: I enjoyed the games and I thought, I'm gonna go 759 00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:25,839 Speaker 1: along with this. I'm not going to be a stick 760 00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:27,480 Speaker 1: in the mud. I'm gonna go along with it. And 761 00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:30,680 Speaker 1: that was my mindset throughout the weekend, and then last 762 00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:36,520 Speaker 1: night put on the Texans Vikings game. The stadium is glorious, 763 00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:40,880 Speaker 1: the sun coming in for a Sunday afternoon game, It's glorious. 764 00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:43,680 Speaker 1: And the Helmets top five helmet in the National Football 765 00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:46,839 Speaker 1: I'm already getting a little warmed up to this team. 766 00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:52,520 Speaker 1: And Cordell Patterson reaching his entire body for the goal line. 767 00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:55,560 Speaker 1: You can see that every member on this team wants 768 00:40:55,600 --> 00:40:58,480 Speaker 1: it on every play. What put it in and it 769 00:40:58,840 --> 00:41:02,040 Speaker 1: made this organic for me that I'm not just going along. 770 00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:05,719 Speaker 1: I caught Vikings fever when Sam Bradford took that hit. 771 00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:10,399 Speaker 1: When he took that hit and looked like the most 772 00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:13,719 Speaker 1: the toughest quarterback in the NFL at that time, I'm like, 773 00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:16,400 Speaker 1: I'm on board. I'm on board these Vikings. They're exactly 774 00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:19,120 Speaker 1: what Mark said they were. And for charges of front running, 775 00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:21,000 Speaker 1: that's fine. You can say I'm jumping on board when 776 00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:23,520 Speaker 1: they're five and oh Mark saw it when they were two, 777 00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:25,800 Speaker 1: and oh he saw it in the summer. And Mark's 778 00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:29,000 Speaker 1: attitude that Sunday night when he kicked his foot up 779 00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:32,600 Speaker 1: on the table is the Vikings attitude. I'm doing this. 780 00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:36,200 Speaker 1: I don't care whether you guys go along. I'm doing this. 781 00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:38,600 Speaker 1: I don't need you, and the Vikings don't care you 782 00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:40,680 Speaker 1: can take our quarterback, you can take our running back, 783 00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:42,680 Speaker 1: you can take our number one receiver, you can take 784 00:41:42,719 --> 00:41:45,839 Speaker 1: our tackles. We're doing this, and I'm doing it mark 785 00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:51,560 Speaker 1: by board with the Vikings. I love it. Now. Would 786 00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:55,120 Speaker 1: this have anything to do with you getting a bouquet 787 00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:59,080 Speaker 1: of flowers and waiting for that to come? Is it 788 00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:01,239 Speaker 1: that easy to buy? Chris Westling? That's the question I 789 00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:03,840 Speaker 1: have to ask. I gotta ask the question. Well, that 790 00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:05,919 Speaker 1: was a nice gesture, and it was a nice card. 791 00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:10,680 Speaker 1: It was a teddy bear and flowers and from some fans, 792 00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:14,279 Speaker 1: and it was basically the same message, sorry, don't let 793 00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:16,239 Speaker 1: a few And this was something I had already thought, 794 00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:19,920 Speaker 1: already thought the line. I remember my senior high school, 795 00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:22,520 Speaker 1: our principals said this about a couple of students. We're 796 00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:24,879 Speaker 1: not gonna let a few rotten apples spoil the whole bunch. 797 00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:27,239 Speaker 1: And I thought that over the weekend, I was like, yeah, 798 00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:29,480 Speaker 1: let's get past the rotten apples. And the card that 799 00:42:29,600 --> 00:42:32,240 Speaker 1: these Vikings sent me said the exact same line, Please 800 00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:34,840 Speaker 1: don't let a few rotten apples spoil. I mean, in 801 00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:38,440 Speaker 1: our devents, we've been telling you that for weeks as well, right, 802 00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:40,520 Speaker 1: but I was sticking up for you guys too. I 803 00:42:40,600 --> 00:42:43,640 Speaker 1: wasn't just doing it for myself and week coming out 804 00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:45,960 Speaker 1: of week five. I don't know when we picked these 805 00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:48,520 Speaker 1: teams in the past, but this is not an outrageous 806 00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:52,719 Speaker 1: time frame. We've come to a decision potentially, now let 807 00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:56,360 Speaker 1: me know. Now, on the other side of things, the 808 00:42:56,440 --> 00:43:02,920 Speaker 1: Autumn Wind is a pirate blustering in from scene for 809 00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:10,000 Speaker 1: the rollicking song. He sweeps along, swaggering voice. Now let 810 00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:12,840 Speaker 1: me tell you something. I see the writing on the 811 00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:16,080 Speaker 1: wall here, and I'm not gonna be a jerk about this. 812 00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:18,839 Speaker 1: I think the Vikings are a fun team to get 813 00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:21,640 Speaker 1: excited about. So who am I to stand in the 814 00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:25,239 Speaker 1: way and and and throw a fit about this? So yes, 815 00:43:25,880 --> 00:43:28,359 Speaker 1: if if it comes to it, I can get behind 816 00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:31,359 Speaker 1: the Vikings. But before that happens, I want to make 817 00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:36,600 Speaker 1: sure it's clear that everyone knows that the Raiders, in 818 00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:38,960 Speaker 1: a lot of ways, were the ideal team of a 819 00:43:39,080 --> 00:43:42,000 Speaker 1: TL for this year. I'll tell you why. First of all, 820 00:43:42,239 --> 00:43:46,000 Speaker 1: there four and one, and they win games in a fun, 821 00:43:46,080 --> 00:43:47,839 Speaker 1: exciting way. Now, there are different ways to look at 822 00:43:47,840 --> 00:43:49,960 Speaker 1: the team. A til one is to get into the 823 00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:54,240 Speaker 1: lab and see what you like. About how they play defense, offense, 824 00:43:54,600 --> 00:43:57,440 Speaker 1: the way, certain elements about how the team looks on 825 00:43:57,440 --> 00:43:59,719 Speaker 1: a week to week basis, And then there's another way 826 00:43:59,760 --> 00:44:02,759 Speaker 1: to look at it, which team, despite not being the 827 00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:05,680 Speaker 1: most talented, the Vikings potentially are a super Bowl team. 828 00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:07,520 Speaker 1: The Raiders are gonna sniff the super Bowl, I don't 829 00:44:07,520 --> 00:44:09,960 Speaker 1: think this season. But they are a fun team. They 830 00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:14,200 Speaker 1: have wins of thirty five thirty and thirty four thirty one. 831 00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:16,640 Speaker 1: One of those wins, of course, on a two point 832 00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:19,759 Speaker 1: conversion try with seconds remaining in the game. Another one 833 00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:22,840 Speaker 1: where Lady Luck steps in and and botches a snap 834 00:44:22,880 --> 00:44:25,080 Speaker 1: on a field goal. If you turn on the Raiders 835 00:44:25,200 --> 00:44:27,560 Speaker 1: this season, you're gonna get a fun game from a 836 00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:30,279 Speaker 1: team on the rise with an exciting young quarterback. And 837 00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:32,399 Speaker 1: you want to get excited about Sam Bradford now being 838 00:44:32,560 --> 00:44:34,759 Speaker 1: back in in Minnesota and now things are starting to 839 00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:36,600 Speaker 1: click for him. Well, I got Derek Carr, who was 840 00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:40,560 Speaker 1: the second round pick, who's emerging as a star star player. Uh, 841 00:44:40,719 --> 00:44:43,239 Speaker 1: you have uh talent on both sides of the ball. 842 00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:46,600 Speaker 1: The defense obviously is not a great great defense, but 843 00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:49,319 Speaker 1: they are making strides of four and one. They're winning games. 844 00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:52,360 Speaker 1: Little Debbie of course is involved. I think that is 845 00:44:52,440 --> 00:44:56,320 Speaker 1: something that should not pass. We're gonna go against the 846 00:44:56,360 --> 00:44:58,480 Speaker 1: team that little Debbie has fought for, she said out 847 00:44:58,520 --> 00:45:03,120 Speaker 1: another tweet on one Day, defending her Raiders. And finally, 848 00:45:04,040 --> 00:45:06,320 Speaker 1: well two more points. Jack del Rio to me the 849 00:45:06,360 --> 00:45:08,200 Speaker 1: new Riverboat run after what he did in week one? 850 00:45:08,200 --> 00:45:11,160 Speaker 1: What black Jack del Rio is one of my favorite 851 00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:12,920 Speaker 1: one of my favorite things I've ever seen a coach do. 852 00:45:13,080 --> 00:45:16,160 Speaker 1: Was going for two. Did it last week against the Chargers. 853 00:45:16,320 --> 00:45:19,960 Speaker 1: This is nothing new. He is Blackjack and we got 854 00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:22,800 Speaker 1: behind Riverboat Ron a few years back for the very reason. 855 00:45:23,400 --> 00:45:25,480 Speaker 1: H a guy that's not afraid to be different, thing 856 00:45:25,560 --> 00:45:29,200 Speaker 1: outside the box. And lastly, and Mark was on the 857 00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:31,600 Speaker 1: Vikings in the preseason. But the Raiders are the only 858 00:45:31,840 --> 00:45:34,560 Speaker 1: team out of the four that was picked before the 859 00:45:34,600 --> 00:45:37,000 Speaker 1: season started. I thought before the season this team was 860 00:45:37,080 --> 00:45:40,359 Speaker 1: going to be um, a team to be excited about, 861 00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:43,520 Speaker 1: and they absolutely were so were doesn't look like we're 862 00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:45,640 Speaker 1: gonna pick him, But that doesn't mean that we shouldn't 863 00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:48,680 Speaker 1: have picked him. Um, that is my side on this. 864 00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:53,359 Speaker 1: I admire you. I admire you have nothing to hang 865 00:45:53,440 --> 00:45:56,239 Speaker 1: your head about here. You knew last week that it 866 00:45:56,360 --> 00:45:58,719 Speaker 1: was probably gonna be Vikings or nothing, and you went 867 00:45:58,760 --> 00:46:02,160 Speaker 1: along with it. But you continue your campaign. You have 868 00:46:02,360 --> 00:46:05,520 Speaker 1: not wavered, you have tweeted a lot of stuff out, 869 00:46:05,600 --> 00:46:08,360 Speaker 1: you have stayed supporting the Raiders. I think that speaks 870 00:46:08,360 --> 00:46:10,920 Speaker 1: strongly to your character. Also, thank you, Wes. I appreciate 871 00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:12,360 Speaker 1: that we also have a lot of support for the 872 00:46:12,440 --> 00:46:15,200 Speaker 1: Raiders on our subreddit. In fact, they want to vote 873 00:46:15,239 --> 00:46:17,520 Speaker 1: in terms of the team that we should go with. 874 00:46:17,680 --> 00:46:20,080 Speaker 1: So yes, there are reasons I'm still going to root 875 00:46:20,120 --> 00:46:22,040 Speaker 1: for the Raiders. I think they're a fun team, only 876 00:46:22,160 --> 00:46:24,120 Speaker 1: not in a hardcore way because I'm a Jets fan, 877 00:46:24,160 --> 00:46:26,279 Speaker 1: so I don't really split things like that. But I 878 00:46:26,440 --> 00:46:28,360 Speaker 1: know that you're in for an exciting game with the Raiders. 879 00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:31,080 Speaker 1: Greg your thoughts. I love the Raiders. I love having 880 00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:34,120 Speaker 1: the Raiders Beaten back in the mix like I love 881 00:46:34,200 --> 00:46:37,920 Speaker 1: their fan base. I love their uniforms, I love everything 882 00:46:38,239 --> 00:46:40,560 Speaker 1: about them. You know, they don't get me quite as 883 00:46:40,640 --> 00:46:44,000 Speaker 1: excited for whatever reason than the Vikings. But the little 884 00:46:44,040 --> 00:46:46,120 Speaker 1: debbut argument is the is the tough one. I do 885 00:46:46,280 --> 00:46:49,239 Speaker 1: feel like we we need to figure that out. Maybe 886 00:46:49,360 --> 00:46:52,080 Speaker 1: she can be the official Rapper of the Around the 887 00:46:52,200 --> 00:46:54,640 Speaker 1: NFL podcast or something. I feel like we might be 888 00:46:54,719 --> 00:46:57,840 Speaker 1: burning in a bridge here, I hope not. Well, she 889 00:46:58,840 --> 00:47:01,960 Speaker 1: I don't think that that voting for the Vikings is 890 00:47:02,520 --> 00:47:05,879 Speaker 1: is a non it is against the Raiders either, because 891 00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:08,680 Speaker 1: the Raiders would flip side. I thought that this Vikings 892 00:47:08,719 --> 00:47:10,279 Speaker 1: thing was burning down, I would have not had a 893 00:47:10,320 --> 00:47:13,640 Speaker 1: problem going Raiders either. I I think this is more 894 00:47:13,640 --> 00:47:16,560 Speaker 1: about consensus than it is making a statement about the 895 00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:19,360 Speaker 1: Oakland Raiders, because they have been everything you said is 896 00:47:19,400 --> 00:47:21,800 Speaker 1: true about them and it can't be taken away. And 897 00:47:21,920 --> 00:47:23,800 Speaker 1: you have been on that train from the start, and 898 00:47:23,800 --> 00:47:26,360 Speaker 1: we're not looking at burn bridges uh with Little Debbie 899 00:47:26,520 --> 00:47:29,440 Speaker 1: or our host. So you know there's issues out there, 900 00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:32,279 Speaker 1: but it's really about this group's try to come to 901 00:47:32,360 --> 00:47:34,759 Speaker 1: an agreement, and that's been more of the issue than 902 00:47:34,800 --> 00:47:37,319 Speaker 1: are the Raiders worthy? They certainly are. Yeah. I mean, 903 00:47:37,400 --> 00:47:39,719 Speaker 1: like I said, the team of a t L, I 904 00:47:39,840 --> 00:47:42,120 Speaker 1: just want us to pick a team. I have a 905 00:47:42,200 --> 00:47:45,600 Speaker 1: team of the Jet. So this is all secondary to me. Um. 906 00:47:45,840 --> 00:47:51,879 Speaker 1: So let's now officially, let's make it UH certified. All 907 00:47:52,400 --> 00:47:55,200 Speaker 1: in favor of the Minnesota Vikings is the two thousand 908 00:47:55,239 --> 00:48:00,799 Speaker 1: and sixteen team around the NFL. Say yeah, yeah, yeah, 909 00:48:01,400 --> 00:48:12,200 Speaker 1: yeah all opposed? All right? Oh the Raiders fans in 910 00:48:12,239 --> 00:48:18,520 Speaker 1: the crack. That effort got booed. Uh So your official 911 00:48:19,040 --> 00:48:32,480 Speaker 1: team of around the NFL is the Minnesota Viking. They 912 00:48:32,560 --> 00:48:36,399 Speaker 1: will effectively lose eleven in a row. The one. Yeah, 913 00:48:36,640 --> 00:48:38,759 Speaker 1: And now that they're picked and all that's good, I 914 00:48:38,920 --> 00:48:40,800 Speaker 1: just want to say one other thing. You know, this 915 00:48:40,920 --> 00:48:42,880 Speaker 1: team high up in the pain rankings for a reason. 916 00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:45,919 Speaker 1: They break their fan bases hard every year. But again, 917 00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:47,920 Speaker 1: we're not trying to pick a super Bowl winner here, 918 00:48:48,719 --> 00:48:51,719 Speaker 1: so that might even if they do break hearts again. Uh, 919 00:48:51,960 --> 00:48:54,440 Speaker 1: if that happens in the a F NFC divisional playoffs, 920 00:48:54,480 --> 00:48:56,919 Speaker 1: it doesn't mean it's every team of h L is broken. 921 00:48:56,960 --> 00:48:59,440 Speaker 1: They're not a perfect team. If they end up twelve 922 00:48:59,520 --> 00:49:01,600 Speaker 1: and four or eleven and five, that means they're gonna 923 00:49:01,600 --> 00:49:03,400 Speaker 1: go seven and four, you know, six and five the 924 00:49:03,440 --> 00:49:04,719 Speaker 1: rest of the way. There's gonna be some ups and 925 00:49:04,800 --> 00:49:07,520 Speaker 1: downs this team. It's about the journey. Yeah, it's about 926 00:49:07,560 --> 00:49:11,080 Speaker 1: we want to be along for the ride. We want 927 00:49:11,080 --> 00:49:12,560 Speaker 1: to be along for the ride. Now, I would like 928 00:49:12,640 --> 00:49:15,919 Speaker 1: to see some type of town hall now with west 929 00:49:16,120 --> 00:49:20,000 Speaker 1: End the critics all get together and maybe a Kumbaya moment. 930 00:49:20,200 --> 00:49:21,920 Speaker 1: Is that is that possible, we can do that. Why 931 00:49:21,960 --> 00:49:23,880 Speaker 1: would I want to do that? I don't know what crowd? 932 00:49:23,960 --> 00:49:25,959 Speaker 1: Now that you're on board with the Vikings, you guys 933 00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:28,319 Speaker 1: are one and the same, you and these, uh, these 934 00:49:28,360 --> 00:49:30,879 Speaker 1: Cretans that you speak of, maybe now you can break 935 00:49:30,920 --> 00:49:33,759 Speaker 1: bread together? Do you even know me? I do know 936 00:49:33,840 --> 00:49:36,360 Speaker 1: you very well right? Why they don't need to be 937 00:49:36,440 --> 00:49:39,560 Speaker 1: in my life. I'm not trying to have Cretans in 938 00:49:39,680 --> 00:49:42,239 Speaker 1: my life. That's what the block buttons for Dan. Life 939 00:49:42,360 --> 00:49:44,560 Speaker 1: is too short to deal with creatings. Well you did, 940 00:49:45,880 --> 00:49:48,160 Speaker 1: you did come around to pick the Vikings. I mean 941 00:49:48,200 --> 00:49:50,640 Speaker 1: you were very strong against that at some certain points. 942 00:49:50,880 --> 00:49:52,680 Speaker 1: So maybe this would turn to I don't know, it's 943 00:49:52,719 --> 00:49:55,359 Speaker 1: a brave new world us you're in on the vice. 944 00:49:55,440 --> 00:49:58,040 Speaker 1: Those people do not exist in my world anymore, Dan, 945 00:49:58,560 --> 00:50:02,600 Speaker 1: the world, I mean the this crazy The Around the 946 00:50:02,680 --> 00:50:05,880 Speaker 1: League podcast has chosen a team led by Sammy Bradford 947 00:50:05,960 --> 00:50:08,320 Speaker 1: as the team that they want to choose the world. 948 00:50:08,640 --> 00:50:22,080 Speaker 1: Everything's changing. No, I'm on board, well on board, and 949 00:50:22,160 --> 00:50:24,480 Speaker 1: I know marks phobia is that like they'll go on 950 00:50:24,520 --> 00:50:26,680 Speaker 1: a losing streak and we'll all lash out at him. 951 00:50:26,800 --> 00:50:28,920 Speaker 1: I promise I won't do that. I'm on board this 952 00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:31,239 Speaker 1: team because I think they're exciting. Well, I thought that 953 00:50:31,280 --> 00:50:32,920 Speaker 1: you almost tongue cast Mark when you were doing your 954 00:50:32,960 --> 00:50:34,680 Speaker 1: little speech, so I thought, I figured you're not going 955 00:50:34,719 --> 00:50:37,279 Speaker 1: to turn on him. Hey, that was that came from 956 00:50:37,320 --> 00:50:39,879 Speaker 1: a natural place. And there is some natural heat coming 957 00:50:39,920 --> 00:50:41,719 Speaker 1: from Dan two and it is on my radar, and 958 00:50:41,800 --> 00:50:45,480 Speaker 1: I am concerned. I am it's on board of the vikings. 959 00:50:46,400 --> 00:50:48,400 Speaker 1: But get to make not comments all the time. I 960 00:50:48,480 --> 00:50:50,759 Speaker 1: could do whatever I want. This is your team now, 961 00:50:51,040 --> 00:50:53,560 Speaker 1: I will say this, though you got the reason why 962 00:50:53,640 --> 00:50:54,960 Speaker 1: it was. You know, one of the reasons I was 963 00:50:55,040 --> 00:50:57,440 Speaker 1: not all the way on board. It was because Sam Bradford. 964 00:50:57,640 --> 00:50:59,920 Speaker 1: So hopefully he doesn't turn into a pumpkin. That's all. 965 00:51:00,840 --> 00:51:03,279 Speaker 1: I'm on board. Let's hope everything works out here. You 966 00:51:03,280 --> 00:51:05,480 Speaker 1: should go down and need your own layer and see 967 00:51:05,520 --> 00:51:07,840 Speaker 1: what finding you come up with. I found him. I 968 00:51:07,880 --> 00:51:10,040 Speaker 1: found him the first seven years of San Bradford's career 969 00:51:10,080 --> 00:51:13,160 Speaker 1: in the NFL. We'll see. Let's hope. Let's hope everything's 970 00:51:13,160 --> 00:51:15,640 Speaker 1: good now. I just don't want us to have egg 971 00:51:15,680 --> 00:51:18,719 Speaker 1: on our faces collectively, that's all. Well, there's attitude that 972 00:51:18,760 --> 00:51:22,360 Speaker 1: you are if we have the team of a t 973 00:51:22,560 --> 00:51:24,239 Speaker 1: L right, if we have egg in our faces. You 974 00:51:24,320 --> 00:51:26,680 Speaker 1: will somehow have it on the three of our faces 975 00:51:26,719 --> 00:51:28,600 Speaker 1: while you ride off in a you know, a cream 976 00:51:28,640 --> 00:51:35,719 Speaker 1: color for me a break. You're part of this, right, 977 00:51:35,800 --> 00:51:38,520 Speaker 1: Mark talked about, you know, winning a Super Bowl baby, 978 00:51:38,560 --> 00:51:41,399 Speaker 1: whendn't the elation wouldn't last long? I think it took 979 00:51:41,480 --> 00:51:45,839 Speaker 1: fifteen seconds for the community feeling after choosing the team 980 00:51:45,880 --> 00:51:48,640 Speaker 1: of a TL to fill apart. Hey, I voted I'm in, 981 00:51:49,239 --> 00:51:51,319 Speaker 1: but you know once U by a time Les voted 982 00:51:51,360 --> 00:51:54,520 Speaker 1: for the charges. Yeah, all right, I don't like that. 983 00:51:54,840 --> 00:51:57,479 Speaker 1: This is ominous stuff coming from you. Let the record 984 00:51:57,560 --> 00:51:59,600 Speaker 1: show that you voted for the like Vikings last week 985 00:51:59,680 --> 00:52:01,680 Speaker 1: before I did, and now you're the hold out. I'm 986 00:52:01,719 --> 00:52:06,279 Speaker 1: not a holdout emotionally. Oh well, that's different. This is 987 00:52:06,360 --> 00:52:10,359 Speaker 1: like the sitcom cliffhanger, where you finally learn who gets 988 00:52:10,400 --> 00:52:12,600 Speaker 1: together to end the season and then they start the 989 00:52:12,719 --> 00:52:15,360 Speaker 1: very next season. Within the first five minutes, it's all like, 990 00:52:15,440 --> 00:52:18,560 Speaker 1: oh no, actually that's you know what you know, you know, 991 00:52:18,719 --> 00:52:21,480 Speaker 1: it's just like you were saying, Mark, when you're saying, 992 00:52:21,520 --> 00:52:23,680 Speaker 1: you know, go have a nice day. You pick who 993 00:52:23,719 --> 00:52:26,200 Speaker 1: you want. I'm gonna be riding the Vikings. I'm still 994 00:52:26,280 --> 00:52:29,279 Speaker 1: in the Raiders corner. But as a group, I'm you know, well, 995 00:52:29,360 --> 00:52:31,920 Speaker 1: the second part of that instruction was don't join the 996 00:52:32,080 --> 00:52:35,759 Speaker 1: vikings scenario. If you're going to be you know, I'm here. 997 00:52:36,200 --> 00:52:38,120 Speaker 1: Well we'll find out if you're here. I'm just doing 998 00:52:38,200 --> 00:52:40,960 Speaker 1: it for the show. I'm here. This is absurd. Dan 999 00:52:41,160 --> 00:52:46,399 Speaker 1: is now dancing around and see, all right, so there 1000 00:52:46,440 --> 00:52:48,680 Speaker 1: you go, everybody. You can stop tweeting us about how 1001 00:52:48,760 --> 00:52:51,400 Speaker 1: annoying the Team of a t L is and how 1002 00:52:51,520 --> 00:52:54,080 Speaker 1: what's taking so long? We've done the vikings of the 1003 00:52:54,120 --> 00:52:57,200 Speaker 1: Team of a t L Forten and you know, like, 1004 00:52:57,320 --> 00:53:04,319 Speaker 1: get the studio on. It's out of here. Hey, al right, 1005 00:53:04,360 --> 00:53:09,040 Speaker 1: here we go. Moving on finally, the Thursday night preview. Yes, 1006 00:53:09,120 --> 00:53:12,279 Speaker 1: we alluded to it earlier. We spoke about it earlier. Um, 1007 00:53:12,680 --> 00:53:14,880 Speaker 1: there will be no Gary Kubiak on the sidelines for 1008 00:53:14,960 --> 00:53:18,920 Speaker 1: the Broncos. Um it will be Jolton Joe instead. When 1009 00:53:18,960 --> 00:53:22,360 Speaker 1: the Broncos trying to get back to their winning ways 1010 00:53:22,719 --> 00:53:25,000 Speaker 1: after a loss in Week five, they take on the 1011 00:53:25,080 --> 00:53:30,720 Speaker 1: San Diego Chargers in San Diego. So here, Mark Sessler 1012 00:53:30,800 --> 00:53:34,080 Speaker 1: is a matchup between two teams coming off losses but 1013 00:53:34,200 --> 00:53:38,120 Speaker 1: still in very different places on the NFL. Spectrum right now. 1014 00:53:38,440 --> 00:53:40,920 Speaker 1: Your initial thoughts about this game. I think it's a 1015 00:53:41,160 --> 00:53:44,120 Speaker 1: very different Broncos team right out of the gate. If 1016 00:53:44,120 --> 00:53:47,960 Speaker 1: you get Trevor Simeon in over Paxton Lynch, who was 1017 00:53:48,360 --> 00:53:53,279 Speaker 1: a picture of dangerous downfield lobbs into coverage last week, 1018 00:53:53,680 --> 00:53:56,239 Speaker 1: Simeon's not been doing the same thing. If they get 1019 00:53:56,280 --> 00:53:58,759 Speaker 1: him back and healthy, and if you get you know, 1020 00:53:58,880 --> 00:54:02,120 Speaker 1: Donald Stevenson back right tackle, which was a major issue 1021 00:54:02,160 --> 00:54:04,719 Speaker 1: for them last year. They made the Atlanta last week, 1022 00:54:04,760 --> 00:54:07,520 Speaker 1: they made the Atlanta Falcons look like the six Giants. 1023 00:54:08,120 --> 00:54:11,320 Speaker 1: So you know you're you're dealing. It's a game against 1024 00:54:11,360 --> 00:54:13,920 Speaker 1: a banged up Chargers team, and you're not gonna get 1025 00:54:14,000 --> 00:54:16,880 Speaker 1: picked on the way Matt Ryan did. Throwing it to 1026 00:54:17,280 --> 00:54:20,359 Speaker 1: the best backfield combination in the league, short and mid 1027 00:54:20,480 --> 00:54:22,920 Speaker 1: range passes, eating up the middle of your defense for 1028 00:54:22,960 --> 00:54:26,040 Speaker 1: big yardage. It's a different situation. I appreciate you throwing 1029 00:54:26,120 --> 00:54:28,839 Speaker 1: out the eighty six Giants because everyone always just says 1030 00:54:28,920 --> 00:54:31,600 Speaker 1: the eighty five Bears whenever they're looking for kind of 1031 00:54:31,680 --> 00:54:33,680 Speaker 1: the they made him. They made him look that. I 1032 00:54:33,760 --> 00:54:36,040 Speaker 1: saw that on Monday, and everyone's always like they made 1033 00:54:36,120 --> 00:54:41,239 Speaker 1: him look like the eighty five Bears six big year 1034 00:54:41,280 --> 00:54:43,520 Speaker 1: for West and I do you ever talk about the 1035 00:54:43,560 --> 00:54:45,520 Speaker 1: seventy eight Falcons then we can really get into it. 1036 00:54:45,960 --> 00:54:49,239 Speaker 1: Whoa wow, seven eight Falcons. But you don't hear that 1037 00:54:49,320 --> 00:54:52,239 Speaker 1: too often. That would be that would see that would 1038 00:54:52,239 --> 00:54:54,000 Speaker 1: have been an even better reference. Marks would have been 1039 00:54:54,280 --> 00:54:56,359 Speaker 1: because nobody would have known and it would have fallen 1040 00:54:56,440 --> 00:54:59,600 Speaker 1: on deaf this This Broncos team is a proud group 1041 00:54:59,640 --> 00:55:01,439 Speaker 1: and they even been able to stop to run lately. 1042 00:55:01,600 --> 00:55:03,799 Speaker 1: And I think they're gonna look at this Chargers team 1043 00:55:03,840 --> 00:55:06,040 Speaker 1: and not really be too afraid of Melvin Gordon, who's 1044 00:55:06,440 --> 00:55:09,640 Speaker 1: not really the runner that we expected coming out of college. 1045 00:55:10,080 --> 00:55:12,040 Speaker 1: He's kind of the opposite. He's pretty good in the 1046 00:55:12,080 --> 00:55:14,560 Speaker 1: passing game. He's a tough runner that runs over people, 1047 00:55:14,600 --> 00:55:17,319 Speaker 1: but he doesn't make anyone miss. The Chargers are only 1048 00:55:17,360 --> 00:55:20,480 Speaker 1: gonna beat them by throwing the ball a lot, which 1049 00:55:20,600 --> 00:55:23,400 Speaker 1: is probably right, and it's tough for any team to 1050 00:55:23,480 --> 00:55:26,240 Speaker 1: do that against Denver. If if people thought the Falcons 1051 00:55:26,280 --> 00:55:29,000 Speaker 1: provided a blueprint, the Chargers don't have the personnel to 1052 00:55:29,080 --> 00:55:32,280 Speaker 1: follow suit. They are best when they pass, like you said, 1053 00:55:32,719 --> 00:55:34,840 Speaker 1: which fits right into what the Broncos want you to do. 1054 00:55:35,239 --> 00:55:37,320 Speaker 1: Drop back to pass, so they can unleas Von Miller, 1055 00:55:37,800 --> 00:55:40,759 Speaker 1: Shack Barrett, Shane Ray, and then their three cornerbacks who 1056 00:55:40,800 --> 00:55:44,080 Speaker 1: are really shut down corners. Melvin Gordon doesn't have the 1057 00:55:44,080 --> 00:55:47,440 Speaker 1: skill set of of Havin Coleman or DeVonta Freeman. They're 1058 00:55:47,440 --> 00:55:50,800 Speaker 1: not gonna He's not gonna burn your linebackers down the sideline. No, 1059 00:55:51,040 --> 00:55:53,160 Speaker 1: but I I think the Chargers can keep it close. 1060 00:55:53,480 --> 00:55:54,839 Speaker 1: This is one of those teams you said you're gonna 1061 00:55:54,880 --> 00:55:56,600 Speaker 1: still root for the Raiders. I root for the Chargers 1062 00:55:56,640 --> 00:55:58,560 Speaker 1: every week. I still really like this team. I find 1063 00:55:58,600 --> 00:56:01,360 Speaker 1: them entertaining. I think they have and players. Their games 1064 00:56:01,400 --> 00:56:04,680 Speaker 1: are obviously always close. It's sad how they blow every game. 1065 00:56:05,040 --> 00:56:07,920 Speaker 1: Joey Bosa was fun to watch last week. He made 1066 00:56:07,960 --> 00:56:11,120 Speaker 1: a huge impact. Melvin Ingram's playing really well. They have 1067 00:56:11,239 --> 00:56:13,759 Speaker 1: this young kid, Jatavis Brown who came in from Ante Teo. 1068 00:56:14,320 --> 00:56:16,319 Speaker 1: That's an upgrade that did not hurt them at all 1069 00:56:16,400 --> 00:56:19,879 Speaker 1: losing Manti Teo. They've got They've got players on this team. 1070 00:56:19,920 --> 00:56:22,080 Speaker 1: Tyrelle Williams make has made a lot of plays for 1071 00:56:22,160 --> 00:56:24,600 Speaker 1: them this year. Rivers is playing well. It's not a 1072 00:56:24,640 --> 00:56:26,839 Speaker 1: bad roster. They could easily be three and two, four 1073 00:56:26,920 --> 00:56:29,400 Speaker 1: and one, but they are not the They are not 1074 00:56:29,560 --> 00:56:32,200 Speaker 1: a diverse offense in the way that what Atlanta can 1075 00:56:32,280 --> 00:56:35,160 Speaker 1: do so many different things, and that that really was 1076 00:56:35,239 --> 00:56:37,560 Speaker 1: a matchup game for me. If you look at the Chargers, 1077 00:56:37,880 --> 00:56:42,799 Speaker 1: they use simply one back sets almost seventy of the time. 1078 00:56:42,840 --> 00:56:45,880 Speaker 1: They're in three wide receiver sets in such a majority 1079 00:56:45,960 --> 00:56:48,360 Speaker 1: that that's essentially their attack. But they haven't at Gates, 1080 00:56:48,560 --> 00:56:50,799 Speaker 1: and they had the Gates and Henry offense last week. 1081 00:56:50,880 --> 00:56:52,960 Speaker 1: Hunter Henry is good. I don't know what we're getting 1082 00:56:52,960 --> 00:56:54,800 Speaker 1: out of Antonio Gates, but he did make some a 1083 00:56:54,880 --> 00:56:57,799 Speaker 1: couple of catches last week. If you're gonna beat them, maybe, yeah, 1084 00:56:58,000 --> 00:57:01,560 Speaker 1: maybe it's picking on the linebackers with those two tight ends. 1085 00:57:02,200 --> 00:57:04,959 Speaker 1: You want to check in. By the way, on West 1086 00:57:05,160 --> 00:57:09,840 Speaker 1: West is desert consiguliary. Mr Spice Rack gets back on 1087 00:57:09,920 --> 00:57:12,680 Speaker 1: the show. If Melvin Gordon runs for a thousand yards, 1088 00:57:12,840 --> 00:57:16,640 Speaker 1: what's well, he's I'm paced for total yards, but what 1089 00:57:16,760 --> 00:57:18,880 Speaker 1: we said was rushing yards, and right now he is 1090 00:57:19,360 --> 00:57:21,280 Speaker 1: off the pace, not by much. He's on pace for 1091 00:57:21,360 --> 00:57:25,520 Speaker 1: nine and fifty seven rushing yards. So spicy right on 1092 00:57:25,640 --> 00:57:28,800 Speaker 1: the cusp. Will we ever hear from him again? That's 1093 00:57:28,840 --> 00:57:32,800 Speaker 1: up to the San Diego Chargers on pace for touchdowns 1094 00:57:32,840 --> 00:57:41,400 Speaker 1: though he's been if he has a thousand yards rushing 1095 00:57:41,520 --> 00:57:46,280 Speaker 1: or twenty touchdown of a Gordon thanks for spice rack 1096 00:57:46,360 --> 00:57:50,280 Speaker 1: back on the show. Um anyway, So does anyone uh 1097 00:57:50,760 --> 00:57:53,200 Speaker 1: believe that San Diego will get over the hump in 1098 00:57:53,280 --> 00:57:56,280 Speaker 1: this game and get back to their winning ways? Uh? 1099 00:57:56,400 --> 00:57:57,960 Speaker 1: And as Trevor sent me in playing by the way, 1100 00:57:58,000 --> 00:58:00,560 Speaker 1: he's expected to. But we don't know for sure because 1101 00:58:00,600 --> 00:58:02,440 Speaker 1: that was a big loss. As it turned out. He's 1102 00:58:02,480 --> 00:58:04,640 Speaker 1: practicing and he's you know, they had him in shoulder 1103 00:58:04,680 --> 00:58:06,040 Speaker 1: pads to day, tried to see what you could do 1104 00:58:06,080 --> 00:58:08,280 Speaker 1: with full range of motion like the fashion shoulder pads. 1105 00:58:08,320 --> 00:58:10,520 Speaker 1: Well it was a non padded practice, so he was 1106 00:58:10,600 --> 00:58:13,720 Speaker 1: the only one. Maybe they're trying to sing women's fashion 1107 00:58:13,760 --> 00:58:15,880 Speaker 1: of it. No, it's not a not like a Hillary 1108 00:58:15,920 --> 00:58:19,160 Speaker 1: Clinton esque like pants suit shoulder pad scenario. Save it 1109 00:58:19,200 --> 00:58:21,080 Speaker 1: for the political podcast mark coming up there. I got 1110 00:58:21,120 --> 00:58:25,560 Speaker 1: some stuff for that podcast. Anybody all right? Anybody going 1111 00:58:25,680 --> 00:58:28,720 Speaker 1: to pick the San Diego Chargers speak now or forever? 1112 00:58:28,800 --> 00:58:30,560 Speaker 1: Hold your piece? Come on, Greg, you know you want. 1113 00:58:31,680 --> 00:58:33,320 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna do it just for the sake of it. 1114 00:58:33,440 --> 00:58:36,120 Speaker 1: It wouldn't surprise me. But no, I'm not gonna do it. 1115 00:58:36,160 --> 00:58:39,960 Speaker 1: They'll find, they'll find it wouldn't surprise me. Yeah, well what, 1116 00:58:40,240 --> 00:58:42,000 Speaker 1: I don't believe it. I don't believe they'll win. I 1117 00:58:42,080 --> 00:58:44,240 Speaker 1: believe they'll find a way to lose another close game 1118 00:58:44,280 --> 00:58:47,320 Speaker 1: and that Mike McCoy will be leading the top of 1119 00:58:47,400 --> 00:58:49,920 Speaker 1: our next pot. Well, actually there will be a whimpering. 1120 00:58:51,040 --> 00:58:52,840 Speaker 1: I have a feeling that he's probably gonna lose his 1121 00:58:52,920 --> 00:58:54,680 Speaker 1: job if they lose this game. I don't think that's 1122 00:58:54,720 --> 00:58:59,760 Speaker 1: a bold statement. And Rappaport and other insiders southern California 1123 00:58:59,800 --> 00:59:03,880 Speaker 1: look in right now Mike McCoy's home. Why does it 1124 00:59:03,960 --> 00:59:06,640 Speaker 1: bother you so much? This? It is very disturbing. I 1125 00:59:06,720 --> 00:59:09,240 Speaker 1: think it's funny. Is it the idea of flesh melting? Well, 1126 00:59:09,360 --> 00:59:12,400 Speaker 1: it's like, you know, West and many others were offended 1127 00:59:12,440 --> 00:59:15,520 Speaker 1: by dogs helping. I care about humans, but this sounds 1128 00:59:15,560 --> 00:59:17,400 Speaker 1: like a fake. This sounds like a fake whipper. And 1129 00:59:17,480 --> 00:59:20,400 Speaker 1: that's why I find it funny. This is someone that 1130 00:59:20,520 --> 00:59:24,440 Speaker 1: you occasionally see at league events. He, by all the accounts, 1131 00:59:24,560 --> 00:59:26,560 Speaker 1: is a you know, it's a great offensive coordinator and 1132 00:59:26,600 --> 00:59:29,080 Speaker 1: a good guy, and we're simulating him being burned in 1133 00:59:29,160 --> 00:59:32,080 Speaker 1: a fire. It's slightly uncomfortable as an analogy for him 1134 00:59:32,160 --> 00:59:35,560 Speaker 1: losing his job, which doesn't help. You're big on that, 1135 00:59:35,680 --> 00:59:38,720 Speaker 1: You're big on let's treat these guys like humans, like 1136 00:59:38,840 --> 00:59:42,600 Speaker 1: anybody else losing their jobs. You're huge on that. Of 1137 00:59:42,640 --> 00:59:45,160 Speaker 1: the time. He's so big on that, you love that. 1138 00:59:45,240 --> 00:59:46,680 Speaker 1: You're like, oh, well, we should have talked about this 1139 00:59:46,760 --> 00:59:50,920 Speaker 1: guy because he's got a family. I have hardly that. 1140 00:59:51,920 --> 00:59:57,200 Speaker 1: I have hardly that guy. I fail for those poor 1141 00:59:57,320 --> 01:00:00,160 Speaker 1: Charges fans, that's give them something a roof for win 1142 01:00:00,240 --> 01:00:02,120 Speaker 1: this game. I think they can win it. They can 1143 01:00:02,160 --> 01:00:06,479 Speaker 1: absolutely win it. To Greg, they're gotta win the game. 1144 01:00:08,400 --> 01:00:11,840 Speaker 1: We just we just completely snow jobs. Fantastic. I also 1145 01:00:11,840 --> 01:00:15,680 Speaker 1: would love to see NFL media research. What is the 1146 01:00:16,360 --> 01:00:20,320 Speaker 1: you know, since Thursday Night Football started, the percentage of 1147 01:00:20,320 --> 01:00:24,040 Speaker 1: the home team winning it was like a huge advantage. Yeah, yearly. 1148 01:00:24,240 --> 01:00:26,000 Speaker 1: I think there's a couple of things happening, Like the 1149 01:00:26,120 --> 01:00:30,560 Speaker 1: Chargers so desperately need this and they all know it. 1150 01:00:30,680 --> 01:00:33,600 Speaker 1: There's not a sin. Even even they're laughing. Kicker knows it. 1151 01:00:33,920 --> 01:00:42,800 Speaker 1: They need to get this thing.

Why did I q that up? Uh, 1154 01:00:51,800 --> 01:00:53,840 Speaker 1: You're not asking a team to go from Jacksonville to 1155 01:00:53,880 --> 01:00:58,120 Speaker 1: Sandy Goes Denver. But I think this is I'm trying 1156 01:00:58,120 --> 01:01:01,120 Speaker 1: to This is we talk about the vice Keen's overcoming stuff. 1157 01:01:01,320 --> 01:01:03,960 Speaker 1: This is Denver's game with an interim coach for one 1158 01:01:04,080 --> 01:01:07,120 Speaker 1: game and a quarterback that's coming off injury probably isn't 1159 01:01:07,120 --> 01:01:09,480 Speaker 1: fully healthy on any level. This is their way to 1160 01:01:09,520 --> 01:01:12,960 Speaker 1: show people on national television.

Continue 1179 01:02:20,400 --> 01:02:22,919 Speaker 1: help spreading the word of the around the NFL Podcast West. 1180 01:02:23,360 --> 01:02:25,240 Speaker 1: We had a very nice Packers fan who sent us 1181 01:02:25,280 --> 01:02:28,200 Speaker 1: a wheel of nice cheeses and sausages. Their name was 1182 01:02:28,280 --> 01:02:33,520 Speaker 1: Julie than I love that it actually prompted a a 1183 01:02:33,640 --> 01:02:36,200 Speaker 1: missive from the Shadowy League figures. It did, you know, 1184 01:02:36,280 --> 01:02:38,160 Speaker 1: be careful about some of these gifts. You might have 1185 01:02:38,240 --> 01:02:41,320 Speaker 1: to declare them with other Shadowy League figures. We have 1186 01:02:41,440 --> 01:02:43,960 Speaker 1: this or Well Orwellian plan in our life. Caught a 1187 01:02:44,000 --> 01:02:47,360 Speaker 1: compliance plan where we have to declare all gifts over 1188 01:02:47,520 --> 01:02:50,040 Speaker 1: X amount of dollars. It's it's really no one would 1189 01:02:50,040 --> 01:02:51,880 Speaker 1: have no one would have thunked this up outside of 1190 01:02:51,880 --> 01:02:54,480 Speaker 1: a novel a hunt Well. It's not unusual for for UM, 1191 01:02:54,680 --> 01:02:57,040 Speaker 1: a media company, to to have that rule. But I 1192 01:02:57,160 --> 01:02:59,360 Speaker 1: think if we are get we've given. I don't even 1193 01:02:59,400 --> 01:03:01,360 Speaker 1: want to meet and cheese is. I appreciate the gesture, 1194 01:03:01,400 --> 01:03:03,440 Speaker 1: but I can't eat them. So my portion went to 1195 01:03:03,520 --> 01:03:06,120 Speaker 1: other various people at that point. If it did cross 1196 01:03:06,200 --> 01:03:08,720 Speaker 1: the price barrier, it certainly came back down under. I 1197 01:03:08,720 --> 01:03:10,240 Speaker 1: think if you give part of the gift away to 1198 01:03:10,360 --> 01:03:13,080 Speaker 1: people in the office, you chip it off the final cost. 1199 01:03:13,440 --> 01:03:15,919 Speaker 1: Right anyway, all right, that was mark subtle way of saying, 1200 01:03:15,960 --> 01:03:18,400 Speaker 1: send some raw food next time. Well, no, don't send 1201 01:03:18,480 --> 01:03:20,440 Speaker 1: raw food to the mail or if a shadowy leak 1202 01:03:20,480 --> 01:03:23,240 Speaker 1: figures listening to this, I am not involved with. I 1203 01:03:23,280 --> 01:03:26,240 Speaker 1: have not taken any of the goods. All right, we'll 1204 01:03:26,280 --> 01:03:30,760 Speaker 1: be back with the goods Greg Thursday night.
