00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:57,880

13
00:00:58,000 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 1: the rest of the heroes, and I mean all the

14
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 1: hero all the heroes in the house today. But for now,

15
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 1: let's talk about that. This was a game that the

16
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 1: Rams needed, especially after having a big lead, this thing

17
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:10,119
Speaker 1: feeling like it was salted away and then they pulled

18
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 1: it out. This was a game in the NFL and

19
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 1: its league own network needed Los Angeles football needs. It's

20
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 1: the game the Los Angeles football market needed the most importantly, Greg.

21
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 1: It was a game we the fans needed for nine

22
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 1: on Thursday Night. Who would have thought game of the

23
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:29,319
Speaker 1: year and there's really not uh any competition. Happened to

24
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:32,679
Speaker 1: be Rams forty nine ers Thursday Night Football. Sean McVeigh,

25
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 1: the Rams coach, walks into the press room after the game.

26
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 1: First thing he says, anybody got a beer? You know,

27
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 1: because it was it was that kind of just a

28
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 1: young guy and he's feeling himself. It was that kind

29
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 1: of game. The highest scoring game in Thursday Night football history,

30
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 1: the only forty one to thirty nine game in NFL history,

31
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 1: and it was a lot of fun. I think if

32
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 1: you're a Rams fan, obviously the most exciting Rams games

33
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 1: since they moved back to Los Angeles, because you saw

34
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 1: what a difference John McVeigh can make, and you started

35
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 1: to see the possibilities not just for this week, but

36
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 1: for the future of an offense that's that's quite deep.

37
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 1: That's not just Jared Goff, but you got Watkins, Robert

38
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 1: Woods making plays. GIRLI Cooper Cup had a quiet night,

39
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 1: but there's there's a lot of people here. I mean,

40
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 1: the difference between Jared Goff that we're seeing in these

41
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,919
Speaker 1: first three games, and what was the tape he put

42
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 1: out last year. It's listen, let's be honest. It's a

43
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 1: total indictment of Jeff Fisher era. And but also, uh

44
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 1: give credit words due to this current coaching staff now,

45
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 1: which is clearly identified what golf does well and made

46
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 1: him comfortable. And obviously he's throwing the ball with confidence.

47
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:43,920
Speaker 1: I thought he made several killer throws. Sammy Watkins, welcome

48
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,800
Speaker 1: back to relevance. Is is all of a sudden a

49
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 1: big time player again. He made an amazing almost a

50
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 1: Willie Mays type catch. My colleague Patrick Crawley, our colleague downstairs, tweeted,

51
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,360
Speaker 1: I thought that was an apt comparison. And then you know,

52
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 1: you look at golf now is a performing quarterback Todd Gurley.

53
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 1: Greg we talked in the office season and you wrote

54
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 1: about it. How is it fair to wonder if Gurley

55
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 1: is a guy that could end up being a miss

56
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:09,920
Speaker 1: after being it seemed like a camp miss guy after

57
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 1: his rookie year. I mean he's putting all that to

58
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 1: bed carries a hundred thirteen yards, two touchdowns on the ground,

59
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 1: he had, Uh, he had five more catches as a

60
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 1: receiver for thirty six and a touch. I mean, this

61
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:28,080
Speaker 1: offense looks really good right now. And Wade Phillips defense,

62
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,640
Speaker 1: he was probably so much. Yeah, he he had a

63
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 1: tough day. He looked like he was gonna pull his

64
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 1: hair out at the end of the game. But they

65
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 1: were able to get it done with Aaron Donald and

66
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 1: they just brought the heat and basically basically said that's

67
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 1: it and this game well. They they were fortunate they

68
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 1: did get the two points stop that would have tied

69
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 1: the game, which I almost wanted to happen, even though

70
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 1: I was kind of rooting for the Rams because I

71
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 1: wanted to see Goff get a chance to try to

72
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 1: win it with two minutes. They stopped him. They give

73
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 1: up the onside kick, and then there's an offensive pass

74
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 1: interference call, which I think a lot of people are

75
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: gonna be looking for the coaches tape on because we

76
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 1: never saw a good angle. The angle NBC show just

77
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 1: didn't show anything. But it's possible that the penalty occurred

78
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 1: because that essentially ended the game for the Forts, and

79
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 1: it's too bad because you know, Brian Hoyer and especially

80
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 1: Pierre Garson and Carlos Hide deserve a lot of credit

81
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 1: for keep coming back in this game. I mean, Garson

82
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:22,839
Speaker 1: had one of the best catch that that's gonna be

83
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 1: in the top five catches of the year at the

84
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 1: end of the year. That that was an absolutely insane catch.

85
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 1: I mean, they put both teams put on a great show.

86
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:33,039
Speaker 1: And you really hope, you really hope that that the

87
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 1: a coach's angle, coaches tape or another angle shows that

88
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:37,719
Speaker 1: that was op I because that would kind of mar

89
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 1: what was such a great game, because it's a totally

90
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 1: different game. If the laundry stays in the pocket, they're

91
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 1: they're they're moving the ball, they're almost there, about ten

92
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,840
Speaker 1: yards at a field goal range, at a comfortable field

93
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:52,280
Speaker 1: goal range, but instead it becomes third and twenty. And

94
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: even if greg on second down on second and ten,

95
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 1: I believe it was it was a screen pass that

96
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 1: got blown up, very close to getting blown up. Collinsworth

97
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 1: was asking for another look at it, but the way

98
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 1: the time worked out, we didn't get to see. But

99
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,159
Speaker 1: you could tell if the rams brought the house and

100
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 1: if he would have broken that tackle, he might be gone.

101
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,679
Speaker 1: I think Wade Phillips will get this defense together. Aaron

102
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,920
Speaker 1: Donald has not been himself. I know, I know Chris

103
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 1: Collins Word City dominated this game at the end. I

104
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,280
Speaker 1: didn't see that they were definitely running at him a lot.

105
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 1: He made some plays in the passing game. Uh, playing

106
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,920
Speaker 1: two games in five days after only practicing three times,

107
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 1: and they're still learning this offense, figuring out the defense,

108
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 1: figuring out the pieces that the fact that they can

109
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:34,839
Speaker 1: win games offensively is amazing. And I just want to

110
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 1: point out before we go, the Andrew Wittworth signing is

111
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,559
Speaker 1: so massive because the thing that stands out watching Jared

112
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:42,480
Speaker 1: Goff is he has all day to throw on a

113
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,160
Speaker 1: lot of these a lot of these plays, and he's

114
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 1: finding receivers open. And that's that's nothing to take away

115
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 1: from what he did, because he had some pretty passes.

116
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 1: He showed a little bit of everything, a little deep,

117
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 1: a little touch, a little on the run. So you

118
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 1: gotta be excited if you're a Goff fan, Yep, you

119
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 1: have to be very excited. If I was sitting next

120
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,679
Speaker 1: to a Rams fan. In fact, the Paramore, uh, Chris

121
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 1: west wings Um, some team of eight t o buzz.

122
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:04,840
Speaker 1: Let's just say it. We were saying it actually on

123
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:09,040
Speaker 1: the couches, on the couch sitting at the Paramour's apartment.

124
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 1: She was going nuts watching a sure victory slip away.

125
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:15,360
Speaker 1: Possibly it was forty one to six with eight forty

126
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 1: three to play after Sammy Watkins second touchdown. But at

127
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 1: the end of the day, the Rams get the job done.

128
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 1: And if you're a forty Niners fan frustrating that you

129
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,359
Speaker 1: got that close and then you ended up losing it

130
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 1: a perfect on side kick, you kind of think they're

131
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,040
Speaker 1: gonna steal the game. They don't. But at least you

132
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,039
Speaker 1: showed some fight and you showed that your team that

133
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,720
Speaker 1: can score some points. With Kyle Shanahan, maybe they will

134
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 1: have some wins up their sleep intually. But they're three

135
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 1: right now. They're much better than oh and three, and

136
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 1: there's a lot to be excited about. But I I

137
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 1: was hearing a lot of little a lot of like

138
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 1: forty Niners buzz. It's like, don't don't count this team

139
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 1: out yet, Like this could be a six, seven, eight

140
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,479
Speaker 1: win team like I like to be in. Like this

141
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 1: loss especially, I don't know about that. You gotta win one.

142
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 1: So oh and three. Now the Rams now two and one,

143
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 1: and there's excitement, uh for Los Angeles football. Let's see

144
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 1: if that equates to sell out at the Calseum. And

145
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 1: then if how about the return of West to Los

146
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 1: Angeles football, that's gonna be a big booth. Oh my goodness. Well,

147
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 1: no more delaying, Greg teas it up. So let's move

00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 1: He's a man that he's on a journey, a life's journey.

157
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 1: Took him away from us for a while, took him

158
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 1: out of commission, put him in a hospital. They cut

159
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 1: him open, They took out what was bad, and they

160
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 1: left what was good. And now he sits in the

161
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 1: spot we've always needed it to be, where we've missed him,

162
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 1: and now he returns. He is the mailman. Chris Westling,

163
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 1: Hey man, I thought you were going Patrick Claiban there,

164
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:40,439
Speaker 1: keep it up. Chris Wessling's back. Only around the NFL

165
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 1: podcasts that to my head and shoulders. The shampoo people

166
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:49,440
Speaker 1: are excited to and conditioner. It's two and one. That's

167
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:51,680
Speaker 1: why it's a good chip thing. Let the record show

168
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,440
Speaker 1: I did indeed be Andrew Luck back to the game.

169
00:08:56,720 --> 00:09:00,440
Speaker 1: Never it doubt. Sticking it to Colts Matters, they has

170
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 1: handled that whole situation. We handled it. We handled it.

171
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 1: You know what everybody in Colts management should look at

172
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 1: this podcast. We were always very upfront with the audience.

173
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,840
Speaker 1: Somebody say two up from some would say two upfront

174
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 1: was you know Wes is going through this process. West

175
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 1: took you through the steps. He showed up and spoke

176
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 1: and and communicated with the people, and now here he

177
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 1: is back. And I'm not saying you're beating the cults.

178
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 1: Uh shows that you're you know, better than Andrew Luck.

179
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 1: But I kind of feel that's what this is about. Ultimately. Well,

180
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 1: you know, thanks to medical technology, I haven't had a

181
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 1: voice until last Friday. I went to a doctor to

182
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 1: get injections in my vocal cord, and within seconds of

183
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 1: the procedure, I could speak again. It was it was miraculous.

184
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:55,720
Speaker 1: I'm not on my voice yet, but it's pretty You

185
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:57,320
Speaker 1: guys heard me a couple of weeks ago, and it

186
00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 1: was it was totally different it It wouldn't have been

187
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 1: possible to be on a podcast. It was a whisper um.

188
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 1: So West is back, and well, how do you see this? West?

189
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 1: Is this you're stopping it? Are you part of the

190
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 1: show that we haven't even had this conversation yet? Are

191
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 1: you back? Let's see how my voice does for the

192
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:15,720
Speaker 1: whole show. But I'd like to be on the podcast

193
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 1: from now on. Um, I'm not back in the office

194
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 1: yet for a full written work schedule, but um, as

195
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:23,719
Speaker 1: soon as I get on top of my eating and

196
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:25,840
Speaker 1: energy level and all that stuff, I should be able

197
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 1: to come back soon full time. But I think I

198
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:30,839
Speaker 1: can do the podcast from now on. Do you need you, buddy?

199
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 1: It hasn't been the same during the season without you,

200
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 1: and even physically, I'm used to having West a foot

201
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:41,319
Speaker 1: to my right and it's been weeks and weeks and

202
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 1: it's been hollowing here because of that. So this is

203
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 1: completely different and new and good. Yes, we are so

204
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:50,679
Speaker 1: happy West to have you back, and uh, the you know,

205
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 1: just having West back as a friend is great, but

206
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 1: we also get the scientists back. You know Greg had

207
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 1: his run of the shop downstairs, and he took advantage

208
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 1: of it. He was causing a whole ruckets downstairs in

209
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:03,840
Speaker 1: the lab. But now, no, I didn't like it. I

210
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 1: needed someone to argue with. Now the scientist is back. Oh,

211
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 1: you were doing plenty of arguing Greg. Yeah, there's still

212
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 1: plenty of Greg on the show, but now you have

213
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:14,440
Speaker 1: the other scientists to bounce off. And that's important too.

214
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 1: I have my kissing cousin too. There's nobody who's football

215
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 1: mind I respect more than Greg, but we all know

216
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 1: he needs a foil. He does, he does, and I

217
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 1: needed someone to argue about friends with. So you check

218
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:30,440
Speaker 1: so many boxes. Chris Westling, Uh so, yes, this is

219
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 1: the Around the NFL podcast in full. Such a happy

220
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 1: day for us, and we have so much to get to.

221
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 1: What you heard at the very top of the show,

222
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:42,560
Speaker 1: of course, uh was the recap of the Thursday night

223
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 1: football matchup between the Rams and forty Niners. Here's the

224
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 1: good thing. That game's gone and now there's more football.

225
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:53,439
Speaker 1: In fact, there are thirty teams still that gotta play football,

226
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,199
Speaker 1: which you divide by two, and why does it give

227
00:11:56,280 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 1: you fifteen games? And that's what we're gonna break down

228
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 1: on today on the show, and I don't see any

229
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 1: reason to delay any longer. I think we should get

230
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 1: into the games. And why don't we start, gentleman with

231
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 1: are you ready? We? Are you ready for this? I'm ready,

232
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 1: I'm excited. Why's he got his little notebook? It's like

233
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 1: very the handwriting is meticulous, it's got it's it's I

234
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 1: think it's leather bound. West says it's not, but it

235
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 1: looks leather back, and that's the most important thing. Uh.

236
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:31,320
Speaker 1: And he's got his little iPad on the side, and

237
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 1: then he's got a laptop in front of where's your mouse?

238
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 1: Usually have your MacBook mouse, which also it was superfluous,

239
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 1: but not forgot it. Okay, it's a scholar, so we's

240
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 1: not all the way back when the mouse is back back.

241
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:43,719
Speaker 1: The mouse is purely for tweet deck because it's hard

242
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 1: to maneuver from column to column without a mouse. So

243
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 1: this is a scientist to the fullest form. Right now,

244
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 1: let's get into it. The Ravens two and oh Um

245
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 1: travel now to Jacksonville to face a Jaguars team. Travel

246
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:02,960
Speaker 1: the line, then travel We're going to London. That's thank you,

247
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:06,720
Speaker 1: and so much, except we are definitely not going to London.

248
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 1: I can tell you that. Sorry, guys. Um, this game though,

249
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 1: is in London. It's a nine thirty Eastern start. And

250
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 1: you would almost think that, you know, you know, Dan

251
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,440
Speaker 1: messes around with the time zone stuff, and he throws

252
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:20,719
Speaker 1: a little bit of shade, you know, figure out yourself. Oh,

253
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 1: at least for the London game. He'll say what time

254
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 1: it is in London for kickoff? No, figure it out,

255
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 1: not my problem. I know it's six thirty here, which

256
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 1: is early. But anyway, so this game will be played

257
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 1: in London, and you have, um a two and oh

258
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 1: Ravens team, and we're gonna start with you, Chris Westling. Uh,

259
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 1: that is looks like we're back to the old Ravens

260
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:44,199
Speaker 1: with the great defense and the offense that makes enough

261
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:46,319
Speaker 1: plays to win games. And they just start stacking wins

262
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 1: and get to ten eleven wins. Uh, they are going

263
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:51,440
Speaker 1: to Jacksonville face or going to London face the Jaguars.

264
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:54,960
Speaker 1: Your thoughts all summer. My favorite defense for this season

265
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,960
Speaker 1: was the Baltimore Ravens defense, and it's been every bit

266
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 1: as impressive as I expect. Did ten takeaways in eight quarters.

267
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 1: They've only allowed ten points, They've got as many takeaways

268
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 1: as points allowed. And now you've got the perfect recipe

269
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:11,719
Speaker 1: of Blake Bortles, who gives the ball away as much

270
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:13,960
Speaker 1: as any quarterback on the other side, this is a

271
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 1: one side of game. Can anyone convince me otherwise? I

272
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 1: couldn't agree more. And it's a team in Jacksonville that's

273
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 1: basically telegraphed for weeks since the summer, basically what we're

274
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 1: gonna do on offense. We're basically gonna run at you

275
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 1: and hide our quarterback. And last week against Tennessee that

276
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 1: didn't work for them. It did in week one, four

277
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 1: night was shut down. Last week it did not work,

278
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 1: and it's not gonna work against Baltimore's run defense. The

279
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 1: argument would be that this Ravens offense might not be

280
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 1: very good. I mean, the Ravens could if they wanted

281
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 1: to have a historic defense. You couldn't have set up

282
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 1: an earlier better starts of the season than getting this

283
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 1: Bengals team who's not right, and then you get the

284
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 1: Browns and the Jaguars. So this offense for the Ravens

285
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 1: doesn't need to score much, but they've looked better. Uh

286
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 1: that I think then we've probably expected overall they've They've

287
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 1: moved the ball fairly well, especially on the ground. I'm

288
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 1: excited to see, though, Leonard four Nette against this Ravens defense.

289
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 1: I mean, Leonard Fournette. Even last week when he didn't

290
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 1: have many yards, he makes some places where he just

291
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 1: seeks out contact and these are gonna be car crashes

292
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 1: between him and Terrell Suggs and him and Brandon Williams

293
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 1: and him and peers like that, to me will be

294
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 1: a fun matchup when the Jaguars have the boom. Terrell Sucks,

295
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 1: who at some point was replaced by a twenty five

296
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 1: year old like it looks completely reborn. It's one of

297
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 1: those guys, sneaky, annoying, everyone else ages gets grizzled. Tarrell

298
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 1: Suggs seems to just hit the pause button right around

299
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 1: like two thousand and eleven. It's fine, he's he's playing

300
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 1: better than he has in years. Absolutely, And with four Nette,

301
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 1: we saw in the opener teams are gonna stack the box.

302
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 1: Everybody's seeing that he ran against more stack boxes than

303
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 1: anyone in that game. And then last week showed the

304
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:55,360
Speaker 1: teams are really going to practice gang tackling him. The Titans,

305
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 1: you could see, made a concerted effort. As soon as

306
00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 1: one person hit him, seven or eight people jumped on him,

307
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 1: and the Ravens are going to do the same thing.

308
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 1: He had some of the best three yard runs where

309
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 1: he would break three tackles to run two yards. We

310
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 1: love our listeners in London and I'm sure there's a

311
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 1: number of them that are listening to the show right

312
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 1: now that are excited to go see this game. Maybe

313
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 1: some of your Jaguars fans, and I got bad news

314
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 1: to you. It is not going to be pretty. The

315
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 1: Jaguars are gonna struggle for all the reasons we've laid out,

316
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 1: and I'm breaking out early and it serves as a

317
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 1: reminder so nobody forgets Hey, Baltimore Ravens, you're gonna win.

318
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 1: And know how confident I am. Look it double that whole.

319
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 1: The Ravens are my lock two and I would yell,

320
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 1: but I don't think my voice could take it. It

321
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 1: just reminds me, by the way, that's like when you're

322
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 1: now training your voice to get back to where you

323
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 1: were a pre surgery. That's what you have to get to.

324
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 1: That's the goal, that's a that's the top of the

325
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 1: up of the mountain. That's what you're climbing. It's very

326
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 1: hard for me to believe that my voice could once

327
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:08,440
Speaker 1: do that. Anyway, I fail for these these London fans

328
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 1: because the Jaguars have I think they've done a smart

329
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:12,439
Speaker 1: thing going there every year. They really have built up

330
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:16,159
Speaker 1: a fan base there despite not having a lot to

331
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 1: cheer for and the and it's like we've normalized Blake Bortles,

332
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:22,359
Speaker 1: you know, the way we've normalized some things in this country.

333
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 1: We've normalized the fact that Blake Bortles is still starting

334
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 1: for this quarterback this team, like it should be insane

335
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 1: to us that it's insane. It's definitely insane when last

336
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:35,800
Speaker 1: October we were saying that he was holding the entire

337
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 1: organization hostage and they did nothing in the off season.

338
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 1: Let's move on, guys. The Denver Broncos are two and

339
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 1: oh and they've looked very good early on both their

340
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:50,359
Speaker 1: defense very good, their quarterback is playing very well. And

341
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 1: now they go to Orchard Park to face the Bills.

342
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:56,159
Speaker 1: And uh, I'll ask you this mark um, is the

343
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:59,119
Speaker 1: Broncos two and oh start legitimate? Because I know if

344
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:01,120
Speaker 1: you remember last of their four and oh and came

345
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 1: down to Earth finished eight and eight. Is this team

346
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 1: better than that team? It couldn't possibly be more legitimate.

347
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 1: It is a much better team than last year. They

348
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:14,160
Speaker 1: can stop the run. They absolutely aggressively gang tackled Ezekiel

349
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:16,440
Speaker 1: Elliott from wire to wire last week. We've never seen

350
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 1: that happen to a Zekil Elliott that way. And they

351
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:20,480
Speaker 1: can run the ball. C. J. Anderson looked like a

352
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:23,400
Speaker 1: Zekil Elliott last week. Trevor Simeon, We've been talking about

353
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:26,439
Speaker 1: him for a long time now this season, it's listen,

354
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 1: this guy is fun to watch there. This is a

355
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 1: complete team that has sort of a super Bowl feel

356
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:34,720
Speaker 1: to it at this stage in the season. It's the

357
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:38,480
Speaker 1: best quarterback play they've gotten since. I mean, this is

358
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:40,399
Speaker 1: not a team that's no longer held back by that

359
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 1: position where it was. The crazy thing is I turned

360
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:46,480
Speaker 1: on to watch that game again and I'm expecting, Okay,

361
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:49,200
Speaker 1: it's gonna be one of the best Simian games ever.

362
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 1: And really, the last two weeks, I don't think he's

363
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 1: played any different than he played last year. He's just

364
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:56,679
Speaker 1: been kind of he's been solid. He's been making some

365
00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 1: good throws. He hasn't been making mistakes, but it's the

366
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 1: rest of the team that's play and great around him.

367
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 1: Shack Barrett on defense has been about as good as

368
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:07,639
Speaker 1: as anyone, and you mentioned the run game to run defense.

369
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 1: As a team, they're all just helping Simeon and supporting him.

370
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 1: I am very impressed by Simeon, though. I think the

371
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 1: one difference I've seen is he's more confident, and you

372
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 1: can see that in the throws. He decides to pull

373
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 1: the trigger on that first touchdown to Emmanuel Sanders, who's

374
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 1: even pulling the trigger on that throat was perfect. I

375
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:26,120
Speaker 1: guess I getting the offense in a way he couldn't

376
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:27,959
Speaker 1: in the past. I guess I look at it like

377
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 1: to me, that was what stood out of him last years.

378
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 1: He did pull the trigger, he did go for tough throws,

379
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:35,639
Speaker 1: he did make a lot of wow throws. But now

380
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:38,400
Speaker 1: he's not under pressure nearly as much. I think he's

381
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:42,120
Speaker 1: he's been at a very nice baseline and everyone else's playing.

382
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 1: He's also healthy. That's how they got to Flourno, and

383
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:46,359
Speaker 1: then he got hurt and they the team fell apart.

384
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:48,920
Speaker 1: Maybe the pressure aspect is both on the field and

385
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 1: Paxson Lynch falling on his face this summer removed that

386
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:54,399
Speaker 1: probably in terms of having a look over his shoulder.

387
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 1: He knows this is his team and he's playing that way.

388
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:59,399
Speaker 1: What about the Bills, I mean, uh, you know they

389
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,679
Speaker 1: really I mean, if you watch that game, they probably

390
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 1: should have won that game. Uh, Panthers outplayed the Bills

391
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 1: um throughout that game, but if their wide receiver makes

392
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:12,399
Speaker 1: a catch, they probably win ten nine. And we're talking

393
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:14,879
Speaker 1: about a totally different situation. But is this gonna be

394
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 1: looked at Maybe that was their chance, uh to be

395
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 1: an exciting team at two and o, and now it's

396
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:21,400
Speaker 1: kind of downhill. They getta wiped here. Well, I would

397
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:23,720
Speaker 1: say this as a trap game for the Broncos, who

398
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:26,520
Speaker 1: look there too, I know, and they everything's gone right

399
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 1: for them except losing their left ankled, their left tackle

400
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:32,639
Speaker 1: to an ankle injury. But they've also of their games

401
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 1: at home over the last four years, and they've had

402
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 1: two home games. It's hard to play in Buffalo, and

403
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:40,879
Speaker 1: as much talk about tanking or whatever the Bills, the

404
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 1: effort is there and their front seven on defense is legitimate.

405
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 1: Exactly what I wrote my notes, because this is a

406
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 1: well coached team, I think, and the idea that they're

407
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 1: tanking based off of roster moves, the effort is there

408
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:54,399
Speaker 1: and they absolutely look like a team that is is

409
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:56,879
Speaker 1: playing hard. For Sean. I never I never bought that

410
00:20:56,880 --> 00:21:00,480
Speaker 1: there one first name there, just Sean Shuck just well

411
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:04,119
Speaker 1: a Sean. Could you have got the last name out there?

412
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 1: They haven't given up about to move quick in this room.

413
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:09,720
Speaker 1: They've They've only scored, They've only given up twenty one points.

414
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 1: They're a good defense, like and and all the talk

415
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 1: of the improvements in Denver has not extended to pass protection,

416
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:18,440
Speaker 1: especially not with Garrett Bowls gone this week. Mental like

417
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:21,159
Speaker 1: Watson has been a disaster. So I expect Simeon to

418
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:24,240
Speaker 1: be back under fire again and you would think this

419
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:25,960
Speaker 1: game will be close to the Bills. I think have

420
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 1: have a team and this is a recipe to really

421
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 1: test that Denver rushed defense. I mean they have a

422
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 1: recipe running in defense to keep it close. I think

423
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:36,400
Speaker 1: menta like Watson has given up more sacks in two

424
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:39,080
Speaker 1: games than Andrew Whitworth has given up past four years.

425
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:44,280
Speaker 1: My one counterpoint Denver going three and oh I'm locking

426
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:48,479
Speaker 1: it up. Well, I try. I went with the Browns

427
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 1: last week. I've got it, that's gonna turn this thing around.

428
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 1: It was you are doing that again? There was they

429
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:57,760
Speaker 1: you're you've been owing to and locks the Browns are

430
00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:00,359
Speaker 1: owing too. And my two Super Bowl picks are combined

431
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:05,880
Speaker 1: to O two E. So roarings, I would say, like

432
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:07,480
Speaker 1: I would say, oh, that was a little bit of

433
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 1: a safe call. But after going with the Browns, you

434
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 1: deserve a little slack there. That's good. Lock up, ven

435
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 1: j jumping out on a Cliff're excited about the Jaguars

436
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:21,560
Speaker 1: like seven days ago. So let's all calm down. If everybody,

437
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:24,960
Speaker 1: we're gonna go to much bigger favorite that than the Bells.

438
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 1: So to your point, everybody, everybody, you know, all the

439
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:30,480
Speaker 1: Jaguars fans in the room, and you know now it's

440
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:34,920
Speaker 1: fleeing Disremember nice attempt at the spin zone there, but

441
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 1: I'm not buying. Let's move on. Week three in the

442
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:41,200
Speaker 1: New Orleans Saints in desperate, desperate need of a victory.

443
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 1: Oh and two and they gotta You can't. You can't

444
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 1: start on two because you know, if week three, that's

445
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 1: the thing with these own two teams, if you bang

446
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:50,640
Speaker 1: yourself in those first two weeks, you drop a home

447
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 1: game maybe two, like Cincinnati, who's in a similar predicament

448
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 1: this week, you might not get any favors from your

449
00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 1: schedule makers. So in the case of the Staints, oh two, Now,

450
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:00,879
Speaker 1: I gotta save their season with the win, But the

451
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:04,359
Speaker 1: schedule sends him to Charlotte to face the Panthers greg

452
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 1: a team that right now on paper and and when

453
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:10,000
Speaker 1: you watch the games, has perhaps the best defense in

454
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:14,479
Speaker 1: the NFC. So tough spot for the Saints, very tough spot.

455
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 1: They're not special offensively. I think they really miss Torn

456
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:21,879
Speaker 1: Torn armstand at left tackle because their past protection for

457
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:24,760
Speaker 1: Drew Brees just hasn't been great. They're they're moving the

458
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:26,919
Speaker 1: ball a lot like it was like against the Vikings.

459
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:28,439
Speaker 1: They were in the red zone as many times as

460
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:30,440
Speaker 1: the Vikings, and I think they went one for four

461
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 1: or oh for four last week against the Patriots, very similar.

462
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:35,720
Speaker 1: They just can't finish drives, and that kind of goes

463
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:38,560
Speaker 1: back to the running game. Not just that like Okay,

464
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:40,720
Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson, he's not getting on the field that much.

465
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 1: He's not getting yards. Mark Ingram is not getting yards,

466
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 1: and Alvin Kamar is not getting yards on the ground either.

467
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 1: It's not just that they're not running a lot. Even

468
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:50,080
Speaker 1: when they are running, they're getting two or three, three

469
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 1: and a half yards. There hasn't been any explosive element

470
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:55,639
Speaker 1: in terms of their running game. It's a bit earlier

471
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:57,880
Speaker 1: right off the running game with the all the offensive

472
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 1: line injuries. And you remember like five years ago when

473
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:04,480
Speaker 1: mark Ingram was he was a tell as soon as

474
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:05,919
Speaker 1: he entered the game because they didn't want to use

475
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:08,240
Speaker 1: him in the passing game and he would only give

476
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:10,320
Speaker 1: be in. If mark Ingram was in the game, the

477
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 1: defense knew who he was running the ball. And now

478
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:15,120
Speaker 1: that's what Adrian Peterson's So they have to come up with.

479
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:17,480
Speaker 1: Sean Payton has to come up with a system where

480
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:20,640
Speaker 1: the defense isn't isn't gonna know exactly what you're doing

481
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:22,960
Speaker 1: just by tipping your hand on which running back you're

482
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,160
Speaker 1: using on that play. When it comes to Ingram and Peterson,

483
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 1: because I didn't tomorrow, obviously gonna be used completely different

484
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:30,320
Speaker 1: ways than I. One of those guys. It's I come

485
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:31,720
Speaker 1: back to this right, feel like there's one too many

486
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:33,320
Speaker 1: running backs in this mix where I feel like, if

487
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:34,919
Speaker 1: I'm mark Ingram, I want to see him run the

488
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 1: entire game, get him in a flow, or say, with

489
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:40,119
Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson, I don't like Adrian Peterson coming in what

490
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:42,080
Speaker 1: the second half last week? Did he even play in

491
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:44,240
Speaker 1: the first half? I mean, it's like you're waiting. You're

492
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:46,359
Speaker 1: putting this guy on ice for two quarters. You're not

493
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:49,640
Speaker 1: gonna get a warmed up Adrian Peterson by by rotating,

494
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:52,280
Speaker 1: and you're gonna have a hard time running against Carolina

495
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 1: in this defense. I mean, I think you look at

496
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:58,359
Speaker 1: the Saints and you're just like, haven't we not only

497
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:00,679
Speaker 1: have they started this way before? The offense bad, but

498
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 1: like the storylines are the same. It's like it's like

499
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 1: Sean Payton in the in the Saints are like script

500
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 1: writers in the ninth season of Friends that are just

501
00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 1: reusing season six. They're like, Hey, let's do the bench

502
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:15,960
Speaker 1: Kenny Vaccaro motivation. Uh storyline again, didn't it wasn't that

503
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:18,480
Speaker 1: two thousand fifteen? Like it's the exact same thing. Greg

504
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:23,159
Speaker 1: uncomfortable to go with just Sean there. It shows a

505
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:27,200
Speaker 1: level closeness. How about the Panther's offense. It's a concern

506
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:30,960
Speaker 1: to me because I still I'm not even a Panthers fan,

507
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 1: and I'm still mad cam Newton missing that chance to

508
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:36,680
Speaker 1: put that game away with a gimme TD to McCaffrey

509
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:41,040
Speaker 1: near the goal line. He's he's not right there. Obviously,

510
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:43,760
Speaker 1: he's still getting healthy. He got greg Olson, he got

511
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:46,480
Speaker 1: banged up again, and now there's no Greg Olson who

512
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:48,720
Speaker 1: has been his security blankets. So what does that mean.

513
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 1: Kelvin Benjamin has to step up. Kevin Benjamin has been

514
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:53,679
Speaker 1: banged up. Devin Fudges has made some plays and you

515
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:57,639
Speaker 1: think maybe he'll continue uh to develop as a player.

516
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:00,720
Speaker 1: But to me, there's still West a lot of things

517
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:03,120
Speaker 1: to worry about. Are the Panthers gonna score it up points?

518
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 1: Especially if the Saints and really a do or die

519
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,960
Speaker 1: game for them, You think they're probably gonna come out

520
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 1: and put up some points and put up a fight.

521
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 1: Can the Panthers keep up if that's the case. So

522
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:14,200
Speaker 1: everybody was giving them so much credit in week one

523
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:17,720
Speaker 1: for not allowing a sack, and then Jerry Hughes was

524
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:20,560
Speaker 1: too much for mc cleo to handle last week. I mean,

525
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:22,680
Speaker 1: I was at like a subtweet at me. I hope

526
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:24,400
Speaker 1: it is like that's how we know the real West

527
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:26,359
Speaker 1: is bad. I have no idea that you were that

528
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:32,720
Speaker 1: you were, oh wow, we're tangled in the left. I

529
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:34,919
Speaker 1: didn't know that you were throwing verbal bouquet. But the

530
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 1: Panthers offensive line, but I think Lorenzo Lorenzo Manner also

531
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:43,400
Speaker 1: caused a couple of holding penalties on Darryl Williams. And

532
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:46,399
Speaker 1: their offensive line is not good. And I think another

533
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:50,600
Speaker 1: problem Eddie McCaffrey or not Eddie McAffrey. Christian McCaffrey too

534
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 1: easily getting arm tackled right now, and that was the

535
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 1: knock on him coming out. Maybe he gets healthy against

536
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:58,720
Speaker 1: his Saints defense, which is kind of abominable. Feel like,

537
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 1: get an alternate reality. Chris McCaffrey has like four d

538
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:04,840
Speaker 1: and sixteen yards from scrimmage, but in this reality, that's

539
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 1: not happened. He'll be fine. But it's funny that he

540
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:09,119
Speaker 1: had the most preseason hype of all the rookies, and

541
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 1: there's about four or five of them right now have

542
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 1: just fantastic the first two weeks. That's fair. Moving on

543
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Steelers two and oh and two and oh,

544
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 1: and this is either good or bad, depending on how

545
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:23,879
Speaker 1: you want to look at it. Without their offense really

546
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 1: clicking at all, they made some plays they had some

547
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:29,640
Speaker 1: chunk plays. Martavis Bryant got going a little bit uh

548
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:32,480
Speaker 1: last week in the win over the Vikings, which was

549
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:34,560
Speaker 1: a good sign. But Levy on bell Is has not

550
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 1: had holes. He's not looked like him old self. His

551
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:40,840
Speaker 1: old self quite yet, Big Ben Uh is now gone.

552
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:44,360
Speaker 1: I believe, eight straight games without a three hundred yard game,

553
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:46,440
Speaker 1: which you don't really expect from Big Gotta go back

554
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 1: to like two thousand six, two thousand seven when that happened. Yeah. So,

555
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:51,879
Speaker 1: so the Steelers are struggle a little bit offense, but

556
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:54,359
Speaker 1: there two and oh and now they go to Chicago,

557
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 1: Greg to face the Bears, a Bears team uh that

558
00:27:57,960 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 1: you know has been a little frisky at times, but

559
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:02,280
Speaker 1: has no wins to show for it. Your thoughts, Yeah,

560
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:06,240
Speaker 1: I would say that the Steelers made real progress last

561
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 1: week and they were playing a really good defense. They

562
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:10,919
Speaker 1: moved the ball up and down the field. They had

563
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:13,640
Speaker 1: a lot of penalty yards from some of those long throws.

564
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 1: I thought it did look like Levy on bell Again,

565
00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:18,879
Speaker 1: it didn't quite show up on the stat sheets, so

566
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:21,399
Speaker 1: maybe the offensive line. But I'm just giving credit to

567
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 1: Minnesota because those hops in those movements and everything that

568
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:29,360
Speaker 1: gets you excited about lev and Bell was like, oh, okay, yeah,

569
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:31,919
Speaker 1: he's back. And I think they were just playing a

570
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:34,000
Speaker 1: good opponent, and they also knew they were going against

571
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:36,600
Speaker 1: case Keenum they kind of sat on that lead at times.

572
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:38,760
Speaker 1: And I liked what I've seen because because they're a

573
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 1: little more balanced as a team now, they have a defense,

574
00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:43,600
Speaker 1: they have the running game, and they're coming along on offense.

575
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 1: I think Steelers fans would tell you that their number

576
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:49,920
Speaker 1: one complaint during the Mike Tomlin era is how often

577
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 1: they go on the road and lose to one of

578
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:55,000
Speaker 1: the worst teams in the NFL. And I think the

579
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:59,720
Speaker 1: difference this week will be that that young Steelers defense

580
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:01,800
Speaker 1: might be the best defense in the a f C.

581
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 1: They are than the Ravens. Can't well, all right, the

582
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 1: Ravens are better just because that news for the rest

583
00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:10,200
Speaker 1: of the have they turned the ball over so much?

584
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:13,120
Speaker 1: But Cameron Hayward is playing out of his mind. T

585
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:15,120
Speaker 1: J wats the real deal. I don't know if he's

586
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:17,560
Speaker 1: playing this week or not, but he's a legitimate star.

587
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:20,560
Speaker 1: And then guys like Vince Williams. They let Lawrence timm

588
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:23,320
Speaker 1: And walk and Vince Williams has the best game of

589
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:25,280
Speaker 1: his career last week against the Vikings. It's a great

590
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 1: sign James Harrison isn't playing anymore. That shows they finally

591
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 1: have progress within said exactly, and it's like they're developing

592
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:34,760
Speaker 1: these players. And I think if you're a Steelers fan,

593
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 1: you didn't get out of the gate here too, and

594
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 1: one you you handled both of these teams and you

595
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:43,240
Speaker 1: have there. There's been so few instances where Big Ben

596
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:45,920
Speaker 1: leve bell An, Tonio Brown and Martavis Bryan had been

597
00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:48,160
Speaker 1: on the field together. It's something like thirteen out of

598
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 1: fifty six games. They've been so talent poor at cornerback

599
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:53,239
Speaker 1: for instance, in recent years. And now you look at

600
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:56,320
Speaker 1: Artie Burns, who's coming along and Joe Hayden, You're like, Okay,

601
00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:59,360
Speaker 1: that's a pretty talented cornerback group. Yeah, they're a really

602
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 1: talented d fens. I mean, look at me. First and

603
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:05,320
Speaker 1: second rounders are on that defense. Uh. Let's move on, gentlemen.

604
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:08,880
Speaker 1: The Battle of two and O teams. UH. The Atlanta

605
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:13,680
Speaker 1: Falcons the defending NFC North UH. NFC champions of shaking

606
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 1: any doubts of a Super Bowl hangover with a nice

607
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:19,959
Speaker 1: start here, UH, including a decisive win against the Packers

608
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:22,240
Speaker 1: on Sunday Night Football. But now they go to Detroit

609
00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 1: and uh Mark Sessler. Uh. The Lions are one of

610
00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:28,840
Speaker 1: the surprises of the NFL A two and oh why

611
00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:32,000
Speaker 1: have have the lines thrived early on this year? Well,

612
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 1: for me, it starts with Matthew Stafford. I mean we

613
00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 1: who I think you know? We've watched the Lions for

614
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:39,840
Speaker 1: years and Stafford for so long was one of the

615
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:45,080
Speaker 1: most frustrating quarterbacks. Streaky, unpredictable, would let the team down

616
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:47,640
Speaker 1: and then turn around and have a glorious game out

617
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 1: of nowhere. We're getting the consistent Matthew Stafford now dating

618
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 1: back to last season, and I think this Lions team

619
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 1: is not a flukey roster. They're They're starting to find

620
00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:00,400
Speaker 1: pieces on both sides of the ball. I loved Jamal

621
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:03,280
Speaker 1: Agnew last week. Jared Davis as well. Bob Quinn is

622
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:05,600
Speaker 1: a GM is starting to build something here that's for real.

623
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:08,760
Speaker 1: This has Game of the Week potential because the Falcons.

624
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 1: Anyone who thought there would be some sort of a letdown,

625
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:13,600
Speaker 1: I think it's the obvious, I think, or the the opposite.

626
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:15,400
Speaker 1: I think that they are coming into their own again

627
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 1: and it's a great matchup it's a great sign that

628
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:20,760
Speaker 1: they've gotten out of the gate like this. Uh does

629
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:22,840
Speaker 1: anybody else have concerns that it's a bit of a

630
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:25,360
Speaker 1: mirage with Detroit despite the two and all start. No.

631
00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:28,080
Speaker 1: I thought I would. But while I wasn't paying attention

632
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:31,640
Speaker 1: to them, they got legitimate I think, I mean they

633
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:33,719
Speaker 1: maybe it's taken the summer off. Maybe that is what

634
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 1: this is. I think it's just because they got lucky.

635
00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:39,000
Speaker 1: It was it was coming in the off season. I

636
00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:41,400
Speaker 1: think every team should do that. That would solve all

637
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:45,160
Speaker 1: the scoring issues, the lethargic start to the season. Everybody

638
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:47,800
Speaker 1: show up in August. Who knew that guys like Anthony

639
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:52,280
Speaker 1: Zettel and Jeremiah led Better would be caving the pocket better? Yeah?

640
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:56,479
Speaker 1: They They've certainly played two offenses that you know are

641
00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:59,240
Speaker 1: struggling right now. Joan sort of an acid in Arizona

642
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:02,360
Speaker 1: and the Giants, And so now you have to play Atlanta,

643
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:04,640
Speaker 1: who's maybe not as explosive as they were a year ago,

644
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:08,720
Speaker 1: but they've been extremely efficient. They've got as many options

645
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:12,000
Speaker 1: and at so far, the Steve Sarkisi and Era, it's

646
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:14,040
Speaker 1: been just fine. I'm not worried about you know, I

647
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:16,480
Speaker 1: wouldn't be too worried. I don't like them losing Vic Beasley.

648
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:18,400
Speaker 1: I think that's a that takes a big element of

649
00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:22,320
Speaker 1: their defense away, especially when the Lions have a turnstyle

650
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:26,680
Speaker 1: like Greg Robinson at tackle. The thing is their their

651
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:29,840
Speaker 1: defense at least now is deeper like true Fonts back

652
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:33,160
Speaker 1: in the secondary. Now, Devandre Campbell is making a lot

653
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:36,000
Speaker 1: of big plays at a linebacker. I think Grady Jarrett,

654
00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:39,320
Speaker 1: who could have been the Super Bowl MVP, practically has

655
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:41,280
Speaker 1: maintained his game. So it's like they have more than

656
00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:43,520
Speaker 1: just Beasley with So that's good and he will be

657
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:47,560
Speaker 1: back later. And let's pick this game. Mark, Well, I'll

658
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:49,480
Speaker 1: go with what I went with on our pick Um show,

659
00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:57,640
Speaker 1: which is Falcons score zero. Wo No, let's go overtime.

660
00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:00,600
Speaker 1: I just was smelling like Pride of the Lion blog

661
00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:06,800
Speaker 1: Mark Sester, Lions are losing. Firebombs Twitter and endless endless

662
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:11,320
Speaker 1: tweets from Michigan Savage Burner Lions. Well, I think the

663
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:13,960
Speaker 1: Lions are a legitimate nine or ten win team, but

664
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:17,160
Speaker 1: this isn't the dysfunctional Giants to playing against. This is

665
00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:20,520
Speaker 1: the most loaded team in the NFC, and I think

666
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:22,480
Speaker 1: the Falcons in a better team so i'one going with him.

667
00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:25,080
Speaker 1: I Uh, I want to pick the Falcons, but I

668
00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:27,360
Speaker 1: need to. I need to be on this hill that

669
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:29,600
Speaker 1: there will be one surprise team everybody's gonna be talking about.

670
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:31,480
Speaker 1: I thought it'd be the Rams. Wrong, it will be

671
00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:33,560
Speaker 1: the Lions who moved to three and oh the narrow

672
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:37,000
Speaker 1: victory another one of those late uh late pull out

673
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:40,400
Speaker 1: jobs by Matthew Stafford. Uh pull out that quote to

674
00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:44,080
Speaker 1: sell this podcast. Uh, Lions win on the tight one.

675
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:47,160
Speaker 1: I like Dan picking a new surprise team every week

676
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 1: at some point this We actually had a lock against

677
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:53,120
Speaker 1: the Lions last week. Now he's now they're this surprise. Listen,

678
00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:55,080
Speaker 1: you gotta it's trial and error. I think it's a

679
00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 1: I think it's a coin flip game. But I do

680
00:33:57,240 --> 00:33:59,760
Speaker 1: like uh. I like the Falcons as as a team

681
00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:05,240
Speaker 1: with the best roster in the NFC. Score. Oh, we

682
00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:10,800
Speaker 1: need to score. Are you listening anymore? People talk score?

683
00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:17,360
Speaker 1: What's your score? There we go? Moving on. The Cleveland

684
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:21,600
Speaker 1: Browns are now traveling to pick on me. He didn't

685
00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:23,600
Speaker 1: have a score either. What's just got back for this

686
00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:26,160
Speaker 1: first show back from cancer. I'm gonna go after the guy.

687
00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:28,239
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna do it, Greg, don't make me do it.

688
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:30,440
Speaker 1: You're not my boss anymore. You can't force me to

689
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:33,840
Speaker 1: go after the guy coming back all awkward. He just

690
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:37,239
Speaker 1: got off the I R boomerang. I'm playing. I'm going

691
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:42,680
Speaker 1: after him anyways, all right, coming for you punch, all right.

692
00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:44,439
Speaker 1: So that's a good game. This one's not so good.

693
00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:47,759
Speaker 1: The Browns traveling to the Indianapolis Colts too oh and

694
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:51,480
Speaker 1: two teams uh and uh. The Colts couldn't find a

695
00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:54,480
Speaker 1: way to to to put the Cardinals away at home,

696
00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:58,360
Speaker 1: so now they get another chance west with the Browns,

697
00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:01,319
Speaker 1: who last week was a the spiriting game in the

698
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:03,799
Speaker 1: sense that the court, the rookie didn't play well. He

699
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:06,200
Speaker 1: also left the game briefly, and it just kind of

700
00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:08,439
Speaker 1: felt like the Browns teams we've known in the last

701
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:11,359
Speaker 1: five six years. What were your takeaways? Well, I think

702
00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:14,120
Speaker 1: what's also the spirit and is Kenny Britt I mean

703
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:17,520
Speaker 1: basically pulling a Dwayne Bow He's just going through the

704
00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:20,399
Speaker 1: motions out there. Sammy Coates was kind of going through

705
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:22,360
Speaker 1: the motions at times in the fourth quarter too so.

706
00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:26,759
Speaker 1: And then on the other side, the Colts, Uh. Columnists

707
00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:28,840
Speaker 1: are all calling out Dante Moncrief for going through the

708
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:33,759
Speaker 1: motion up with these wide receivers divas. So to me,

709
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:36,920
Speaker 1: the Colts defense came to play last week. I know

710
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:38,919
Speaker 1: Carson Palmer ended up with three or in thirty yards,

711
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:40,960
Speaker 1: and I don't think he's has washed up his people

712
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:43,279
Speaker 1: say he is. But the Colts defense came to play,

713
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:46,080
Speaker 1: and John Simon was one of the best free agent

714
00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:48,879
Speaker 1: signings of the off season. I see a Browns team

715
00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:52,040
Speaker 1: that can't run the ball that it bothered me always

716
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:54,000
Speaker 1: that they put as much faith in they as they

717
00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:56,839
Speaker 1: did in Isaiah Crowell as essentially the only running back

718
00:35:56,880 --> 00:36:00,239
Speaker 1: they have with Duke Johnson essentially a slot was Seaver.

719
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:03,040
Speaker 1: At this point, I just I Cleveland. I mean, what

720
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:05,280
Speaker 1: happened last week? To to have your quarterback of a Migraine.

721
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:08,080
Speaker 1: You gotta put Kevin Hogan in there in week. It's crazy.

722
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:12,040
Speaker 1: It's not good. But I still think the Kaiser has

723
00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:15,600
Speaker 1: moments where you see plenty of reason for encouragement. But

724
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:19,040
Speaker 1: he also is getting sacked left and right, holding the

725
00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:20,640
Speaker 1: ball too long. I think he's holding the ball longer

726
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:23,399
Speaker 1: than any quarterback in the league. According to Next Gen,

727
00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:26,080
Speaker 1: I have to check that one out. It's not a

728
00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:29,239
Speaker 1: complete offense. Right now and speaking to Kenny Britt Hugh

729
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:31,160
Speaker 1: Jackson basically it said he had a man to man

730
00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:33,600
Speaker 1: conversation with him and it's step up and be a leader.

731
00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:35,160
Speaker 1: They paid him a lot of money. I would love

732
00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:37,880
Speaker 1: to be a fly on the wall when those conversations

733
00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:39,799
Speaker 1: were had before the season when they signed him there,

734
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:41,880
Speaker 1: How could they have not seen these red flags with

735
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:44,680
Speaker 1: this guy. It's just it's how's he still in the league?

736
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:48,040
Speaker 1: Is my other question. It's amazing because I think effort wise,

737
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:51,520
Speaker 1: if you put on two thousand and sixteen tape, Kenny

738
00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 1: Brick catching passes from Case Keenum and Jared Goff put

739
00:36:56,080 --> 00:37:00,320
Speaker 1: out effort on on just about every play. So maybe

740
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:02,640
Speaker 1: you can say, well, they should have known a guy

741
00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:04,960
Speaker 1: like Kenny Britt as soon as he got that payday

742
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:06,719
Speaker 1: would pack it in. But how do you know that

743
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:09,759
Speaker 1: kind of stuff? I think this is a really uncomfortable game,

744
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:13,040
Speaker 1: in a big game for the Browns and Hugh Jackson

745
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:17,719
Speaker 1: and fans like Mark you know who have invested, and

746
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:20,000
Speaker 1: I just been Brown's fans in general in this kind

747
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:23,560
Speaker 1: of rebuild, because there's so few games where there's expectations.

748
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:26,680
Speaker 1: I can't imagine they've been a road favorite for a

749
00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:29,120
Speaker 1: long time, and if you do go to Indianapolis and

750
00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:33,920
Speaker 1: you do lose to Jacoby Brissett, it shouldn't like change

751
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:39,160
Speaker 1: everything about the rebuild, but it's gonna couldn't agree more.

752
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:41,520
Speaker 1: It's gonna feel like, what are we doing here? We're

753
00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:43,600
Speaker 1: oh and three and we just lost the Jacoby process.

754
00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:45,360
Speaker 1: So there's actually a little bit of pressure on the

755
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:47,160
Speaker 1: Browns that come through and get I talked to a

756
00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:49,400
Speaker 1: jam last year who said it was a team building

757
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:51,040
Speaker 1: type story, and he said, look, if you don't see

758
00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:54,000
Speaker 1: in any rebuild, any sort of restructure of your team

759
00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:57,759
Speaker 1: genuine progress in year two, you have reason to believe

760
00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:01,400
Speaker 1: it's not happening. Let's move on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

761
00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:05,960
Speaker 1: They had the hurricane by in week one, but then

762
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:09,239
Speaker 1: showed up and played exactly. You know, sometimes when you

763
00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:11,440
Speaker 1: watch hard Knocks, you get excited about a team and

764
00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:12,960
Speaker 1: then the season starts like, oh, what happened to the

765
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:15,600
Speaker 1: fun perfect team from the summer? They look pretty fun

766
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:19,320
Speaker 1: and perfect. Win over the Bears exactly what you expected

767
00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:21,319
Speaker 1: to them do at home, and now they get the

768
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:24,960
Speaker 1: Vikings on the road, and I I think Greg that

769
00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:28,640
Speaker 1: the Vikings are a tough team in their buildings. So

770
00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:30,880
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people are gonna pick the Vikings.

771
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:33,160
Speaker 1: I mean pick the Bucks, but I think people should

772
00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:34,719
Speaker 1: look at the Vikings as a team that could be

773
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:38,280
Speaker 1: just about anybody at home with that defense. Absolutely, and

774
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:42,640
Speaker 1: as we tape this, it's trending towards Sam Bradford playing

775
00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:46,160
Speaker 1: and the Vikings would be my pick if they do play.

776
00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:48,520
Speaker 1: I think it's a coin flip game. But you have

777
00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:51,239
Speaker 1: to give a lot of respect and to the continuity

778
00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:54,160
Speaker 1: and the talent on this defense and Tampa through no

779
00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:57,399
Speaker 1: fault on their own. They scored twenty six points last

780
00:38:57,440 --> 00:38:59,520
Speaker 1: week like it was nothing. The defense turned the ball

781
00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:01,640
Speaker 1: over and there, and I mean Jamis Winston had a

782
00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:04,399
Speaker 1: very control He didn't have to do anything. Wasn't his fault.

783
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:06,600
Speaker 1: He barely had to do anything. It was a very

784
00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:09,640
Speaker 1: unflashy game. He just missed the Sean Jackson a few times.

785
00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:13,080
Speaker 1: And I like this Vikings defense because they've been there

786
00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:16,400
Speaker 1: and unlike a lot of defenses, there's eight, nine ten guys.

787
00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:18,759
Speaker 1: They just stay out on the field mostly and they're

788
00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:21,839
Speaker 1: and they're great players. There's not a lot of substitution.

789
00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:24,239
Speaker 1: There's not a lot of different formations. It's just like,

790
00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:26,640
Speaker 1: these are the guys we have, and they're good, and

791
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:28,359
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna be tough to beat at home.

792
00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:31,839
Speaker 1: I think on a neutral field, the Buccaneers have reached

793
00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:34,560
Speaker 1: the point where they're the equal of the Vikings on

794
00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:38,000
Speaker 1: on defense on defense, and I think with a limited

795
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:41,520
Speaker 1: Sam Bradford he's practicing this week, but got that knee injury,

796
00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:44,719
Speaker 1: who knows how mobile will be. And I was really

797
00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:46,880
Speaker 1: impressed with the Bucks front seven. They got a rookie

798
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:50,440
Speaker 1: name Kendall back with playing at linebacker. This is the

799
00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:53,600
Speaker 1: best linebacker corps the Buccaneers have had in the past decade.

800
00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:56,440
Speaker 1: I think Kwan Alexander was great and Week one Lavonte

801
00:39:56,520 --> 00:39:58,880
Speaker 1: David looks like the guy he's supposed to be, and

802
00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:02,399
Speaker 1: Gerald McCoy was all over the offensive line in that game.

803
00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:06,680
Speaker 1: I like Mike Evans describing the fact that he went

804
00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:10,080
Speaker 1: without facing double coverage last week for the first time

805
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:13,520
Speaker 1: really in his career. He's talked about that, the freedom

806
00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:15,360
Speaker 1: of that and that you suddenly have to Sean Jackson

807
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:17,719
Speaker 1: on the other side, and Mike Evans, I think that

808
00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:20,000
Speaker 1: could lead to a monster season for him, It really could.

809
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:22,360
Speaker 1: And liked the Bucks just have so many different weapons.

810
00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:26,160
Speaker 1: I I'm picking them in this game. Um, and I

811
00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:29,520
Speaker 1: never thought I'd say this, but please, Sam Bradford, let

812
00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:32,880
Speaker 1: me watch you on Sunday. And there's nothing personal against

813
00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:35,279
Speaker 1: case Keenum, who seems like a very nice guy. I

814
00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:38,759
Speaker 1: just can't watch the guys involved. It's just it's not

815
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:42,080
Speaker 1: fun football to watch. And we've seen enough mediocre football

816
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:44,560
Speaker 1: this season. Sam Bradford on the field that Monday Night

817
00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:46,520
Speaker 1: and Week one, that was fun football to watch him

818
00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:49,120
Speaker 1: moving that offense. Let's get him back in the field

819
00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:53,120
Speaker 1: moving on now They're like, oh, let's get him back

820
00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:57,080
Speaker 1: on the field. Did you hear the podcast otherwise? Just

821
00:40:57,120 --> 00:40:59,400
Speaker 1: like that's why they were keeping the one week to

822
00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:01,759
Speaker 1: six weeks and now night. Yeah, they were waiting to

823
00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:04,520
Speaker 1: see where aside in different until Dan made that point there.

824
00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:07,040
Speaker 1: All right, here we go onto the throne of ease

825
00:41:07,040 --> 00:41:09,920
Speaker 1: where the New England Patriots and they got healthy against

826
00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:13,960
Speaker 1: the Saints and that that woeful Saints defense. But you know,

827
00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:16,839
Speaker 1: take nothing away from Tommy Boy and company. They they

828
00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:20,000
Speaker 1: did what they did. They diagnosed the weaknesses of a

829
00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:23,719
Speaker 1: poor defense and then attacked it mercilessly. So they're one

830
00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:26,040
Speaker 1: and one and now they get the Houston Texans in

831
00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:29,920
Speaker 1: their building, and you would think Mark Sessler that this

832
00:41:30,160 --> 00:41:33,320
Speaker 1: all trends towards the Patriots. And I think the quarterback

833
00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:36,560
Speaker 1: position is why Tom Brady's Tom Brady. But Deshaun Watson,

834
00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:40,320
Speaker 1: a rookie, a kid going into Gillette in this setting,

835
00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:42,680
Speaker 1: it just feels, it feels all sorts of wrong. Yeah.

836
00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:47,560
Speaker 1: No rookie quarterback is beaten Belichick in New England dating

837
00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:49,239
Speaker 1: back to the year two thousand and that's not going

838
00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:52,359
Speaker 1: to change. On Sunday West we watch we suffered through

839
00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:55,279
Speaker 1: I should say that Texans Bengals game last week. I

840
00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:57,520
Speaker 1: don't love the way the Texans offense is built right

841
00:41:57,520 --> 00:42:00,680
Speaker 1: now where you're kind of relying on a big play

842
00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:03,600
Speaker 1: from Watson on the ground. I just don't It's just

843
00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:06,680
Speaker 1: a weapons depleted operation right now. In the On the

844
00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:09,480
Speaker 1: flip side, New England, we were texting about it yesterday.

845
00:42:09,840 --> 00:42:13,320
Speaker 1: The utter madness against the Saints where you're deploying running

846
00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:16,319
Speaker 1: backs is wide outs. You have running white outs doing

847
00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:19,000
Speaker 1: Jets sweeps and running the ball. You have fullbacks in

848
00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:21,840
Speaker 1: the everything. They have six players with a hundred scrimmage

849
00:42:21,880 --> 00:42:23,799
Speaker 1: yards this season, and it looks that way. When you

850
00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:26,880
Speaker 1: watch them, they're incredibly versatile and it was a powerful

851
00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:31,000
Speaker 1: bounce back game. Dan had me shook in the NFL

852
00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:34,120
Speaker 1: kickoff game a little bit how excited he was that

853
00:42:34,160 --> 00:42:39,919
Speaker 1: Tom Brady might actually be gradually declining finally, and then

854
00:42:40,080 --> 00:42:42,440
Speaker 1: he throws up one of the best first half of

855
00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:45,560
Speaker 1: his entire career against the Saints last week. I mean,

856
00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:49,719
Speaker 1: his pocket movement and ball placement were phenomenal last week.

857
00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:53,600
Speaker 1: There's nothing wrong with this Patriots offense, No, but they're

858
00:42:53,640 --> 00:42:56,440
Speaker 1: they're a little short on players. I think Philip door

859
00:42:56,560 --> 00:42:58,640
Speaker 1: Set is going to be an important player for them.

860
00:42:58,680 --> 00:43:03,200
Speaker 1: He really it's a risingly looked like something. Players one

861
00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:06,360
Speaker 1: are the Browns. Well, since when does Philip Dorsset make plays?

862
00:43:06,719 --> 00:43:08,800
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. And he started making plays just

863
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:12,160
Speaker 1: because he's annowing. It's amazing that that that trade is

864
00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:14,279
Speaker 1: really gonna It's gonna be a great win win, I

865
00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:16,680
Speaker 1: think where both players make a pretty big impact to

866
00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:19,320
Speaker 1: Kobe Preston Philip dors I guess it's not rocket science.

867
00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:22,560
Speaker 1: It's like a lot of veterans, especially wide receivers, it seems,

868
00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:25,440
Speaker 1: go to New England and some of them get it

869
00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:28,120
Speaker 1: and get the Patriot way and and are able to

870
00:43:28,200 --> 00:43:30,560
Speaker 1: grasp the playbook. And those guys that are able to

871
00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:32,959
Speaker 1: do that succeed because they have the best quarterback ever

872
00:43:33,239 --> 00:43:35,920
Speaker 1: and a genius coaching the team. And maybe he's one

873
00:43:35,960 --> 00:43:37,880
Speaker 1: of those guys. But I think a lot of people,

874
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:41,800
Speaker 1: myself included, are surprised that this particular player, he seemed

875
00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:43,560
Speaker 1: like one of those guys that maybe it wouldn't work out,

876
00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:45,719
Speaker 1: but maybe it does. Maybe they have another weapon now.

877
00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:50,000
Speaker 1: They do such a good job when their offensive weapons

878
00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:54,040
Speaker 1: buy into Tom Brady's methodology, buy in completely. We've seen

879
00:43:54,080 --> 00:43:56,160
Speaker 1: that with James White, who I thought, going back to

880
00:43:56,239 --> 00:43:58,839
Speaker 1: his rookie year, we were so unimpressed with him. He

881
00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:02,120
Speaker 1: has replay settlement for the time being in terms of

882
00:44:02,120 --> 00:44:04,480
Speaker 1: this mind meld that he has with Brady. He was

883
00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:06,839
Speaker 1: incredible last week. And the way that they're using him.

884
00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:10,440
Speaker 1: And you say they'll ave offensive players like twelve people

885
00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:13,239
Speaker 1: last okay, that that's fair. They're a little thinner at

886
00:44:13,239 --> 00:44:15,359
Speaker 1: the skill positions. And then it's funny because you can

887
00:44:15,400 --> 00:44:18,120
Speaker 1: go out of favor quickly to Alan branch got Bench

888
00:44:18,239 --> 00:44:22,200
Speaker 1: last week. Malcolm Butler spoke on Thursday saying he he

889
00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:25,640
Speaker 1: wasn't surprised he was benched because he hasn't I know

890
00:44:25,719 --> 00:44:28,160
Speaker 1: they It occurred to me that they rubbed it in

891
00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:31,120
Speaker 1: his nose a little. In New Orleans, the team that

892
00:44:31,160 --> 00:44:32,920
Speaker 1: wanted to trade him and wanted to give him a

893
00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:35,640
Speaker 1: good contract. They're like showing the Saints, hey, this guy's

894
00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:38,759
Speaker 1: not It feels like Jamie Collins all over again. A

895
00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:42,839
Speaker 1: contract issue starts to affect. Maybe it's in his head,

896
00:44:43,040 --> 00:44:44,600
Speaker 1: or maybe the Patriots are just like, you know what,

897
00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:47,120
Speaker 1: we gotta started. There were some there were some whispers

898
00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:49,160
Speaker 1: a little bit that maybe it was a distraction for him.

899
00:44:50,400 --> 00:44:52,919
Speaker 1: There there left tackle. They soldiers not playing very well.

900
00:44:52,960 --> 00:44:54,959
Speaker 1: It is going against J. J. Way. It should be

901
00:44:55,239 --> 00:44:59,799
Speaker 1: mentioned that the texts Texans defense played more than well

902
00:44:59,800 --> 00:45:02,279
Speaker 1: in off to beat the Patriots last year, played better

903
00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:05,320
Speaker 1: than any defense did in the in the playoff, really

904
00:45:05,440 --> 00:45:08,000
Speaker 1: stopped them cold. If they had any offense, they could

905
00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:10,040
Speaker 1: have won that game. So you gotta give their defense

906
00:45:10,040 --> 00:45:12,360
Speaker 1: a little crap. Not when they were facing Jacoby Brissette

907
00:45:12,360 --> 00:45:15,319
Speaker 1: earlier in the season. No, no, no, but it did.

908
00:45:15,400 --> 00:45:17,840
Speaker 1: Whatn't mattered. They went into they went into Foxboro, and

909
00:45:17,880 --> 00:45:20,480
Speaker 1: they made Tom Brady look bad for three courts. If

910
00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:22,800
Speaker 1: this is possible, they arguably have less of an offense

911
00:45:22,880 --> 00:45:25,440
Speaker 1: right now than they did last year. If you're absolutely true,

912
00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:28,239
Speaker 1: DeAndre Happens is literally the only guy who they throw to.

913
00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:33,480
Speaker 1: But like of the targets to the receivers are going

914
00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:37,080
Speaker 1: to um one thing. Sports sometimes don't make sense. This

915
00:45:37,200 --> 00:45:40,439
Speaker 1: is so far. You know, the year of the year

916
00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:43,600
Speaker 1: of defense, and Houston's defenses look fine. But we're now

917
00:45:43,640 --> 00:45:47,960
Speaker 1: two games in zero sacks for what merciless and Clowney

918
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:49,279
Speaker 1: who by the way, I have a sandwich bet on

919
00:45:49,360 --> 00:45:51,279
Speaker 1: him getting twelve and a half. It's not looking good

920
00:45:51,320 --> 00:45:54,520
Speaker 1: so far. Uh, they have to look great. Last week

921
00:45:54,520 --> 00:45:57,320
Speaker 1: they worried about he's been quiet. They hung in that

922
00:45:57,360 --> 00:46:01,720
Speaker 1: playoff game last January. Uh, they would need a similar effort.

923
00:46:01,800 --> 00:46:04,120
Speaker 1: And then the quarterback kids gotta make some place. Keep

924
00:46:04,160 --> 00:46:07,640
Speaker 1: an eye on Patriots rookie Dietrich Wise Jr. Who was

925
00:46:07,680 --> 00:46:11,040
Speaker 1: phenomenal last week, and the Texans have been forced to

926
00:46:11,080 --> 00:46:14,080
Speaker 1: play six or seven offensive linemen at a time. Uh.

927
00:46:14,160 --> 00:46:17,520
Speaker 1: Let's move to the meadow ends where the Miami Dolphins,

928
00:46:17,560 --> 00:46:20,319
Speaker 1: coming off their Week one win. They escaped with a

929
00:46:20,360 --> 00:46:23,759
Speaker 1: win off a missed field goal against the Chargers, but

930
00:46:23,760 --> 00:46:25,359
Speaker 1: they're one, and oh good for them, And now they

931
00:46:25,400 --> 00:46:27,200
Speaker 1: travel to the Meadow Ends and they have a good

932
00:46:27,560 --> 00:46:30,400
Speaker 1: situation because the New York Jets are their opponent who

933
00:46:30,440 --> 00:46:33,480
Speaker 1: just got waxed by the Raiders and can't put too

934
00:46:33,560 --> 00:46:36,480
Speaker 1: much uh into not being able to hang with the Raiders.

935
00:46:36,480 --> 00:46:38,959
Speaker 1: They're basically in two different leagues. I was a little

936
00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:41,840
Speaker 1: bit annoyed. I have to say, I think Jet fans

937
00:46:41,840 --> 00:46:44,200
Speaker 1: in general are starting to lose patients with Todd Bowls.

938
00:46:44,200 --> 00:46:47,479
Speaker 1: Everyone knows he's been handed an impossible assignment, but when

939
00:46:47,719 --> 00:46:50,680
Speaker 1: the talk after the game is like how happy he

940
00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:52,640
Speaker 1: was with the effort of the players and all this stuff,

941
00:46:52,640 --> 00:46:54,640
Speaker 1: and I know he's going up to players in front

942
00:46:54,680 --> 00:46:57,200
Speaker 1: of the media like patting him on the back and saying,

943
00:46:57,200 --> 00:46:59,480
Speaker 1: you know, to keep going for it, keep trying. I

944
00:46:59,480 --> 00:47:02,160
Speaker 1: get he's in a tough spot, but this idea that hey,

945
00:47:02,239 --> 00:47:05,680
Speaker 1: great effort in your loss. Don't like it so much.

946
00:47:05,960 --> 00:47:08,280
Speaker 1: And I also don't like their chances against Jay Cutler,

947
00:47:08,600 --> 00:47:11,720
Speaker 1: who uh west always seems to play well against the Jets.

948
00:47:11,719 --> 00:47:14,760
Speaker 1: I don't care what uniform he is in. Yeah, Cutler

949
00:47:14,840 --> 00:47:17,719
Speaker 1: still looks a little rusty to me, and I think

950
00:47:17,719 --> 00:47:21,120
Speaker 1: he started out fifteen of nineteen, but it seemed like

951
00:47:21,160 --> 00:47:23,200
Speaker 1: only one of those throws went beyond ten yards. I

952
00:47:23,200 --> 00:47:26,480
Speaker 1: mean everything was short early in that game. What what

953
00:47:26,760 --> 00:47:30,000
Speaker 1: the batchup? I like here is Jgi e Dolphins run

954
00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:32,920
Speaker 1: blocked well? He created yards on his own last week two.

955
00:47:33,440 --> 00:47:36,600
Speaker 1: And the Jets defense, I mean, we knew their offense

956
00:47:36,680 --> 00:47:40,400
Speaker 1: was gonna be bad, but Jalen Rochard has a big game,

957
00:47:40,600 --> 00:47:42,919
Speaker 1: cor Darryl Patterson as a runner has a big game.

958
00:47:43,400 --> 00:47:45,880
Speaker 1: Lynches running them over. I don't think the Jets have

959
00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:48,200
Speaker 1: some defense that that people should be scared of. I

960
00:47:48,200 --> 00:47:51,680
Speaker 1: feel like that was the Leonard Williams game. I haven't

961
00:47:51,719 --> 00:47:53,520
Speaker 1: seen him really be controlled the way he was in

962
00:47:53,560 --> 00:47:56,760
Speaker 1: that game. That Oakland offensive line took the Jets down.

963
00:47:56,880 --> 00:47:58,799
Speaker 1: And a G. I. E. Is set up to just

964
00:47:58,840 --> 00:48:01,600
Speaker 1: have a monster sees and to be the RB one

965
00:48:01,880 --> 00:48:05,440
Speaker 1: I think in fantasy leagues potentially because he didn't get

966
00:48:05,480 --> 00:48:09,200
Speaker 1: any run blocking last year and he fought hard, and

967
00:48:09,239 --> 00:48:12,200
Speaker 1: I love the way he looks, especially against the team

968
00:48:12,239 --> 00:48:14,600
Speaker 1: and then on on the flip side, let's just give

969
00:48:14,640 --> 00:48:17,239
Speaker 1: a little love too. And Dominican Sue last week put

970
00:48:17,280 --> 00:48:19,879
Speaker 1: together one of the best games we've seen by any

971
00:48:19,920 --> 00:48:23,319
Speaker 1: player at any position this this season, not not not ever,

972
00:48:23,400 --> 00:48:25,520
Speaker 1: but just in the first two weeks he was looking

973
00:48:25,560 --> 00:48:27,839
Speaker 1: like old Nebraska Sioux or oh yeah, I don't if

974
00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:30,600
Speaker 1: he can show up like that every week, Like I

975
00:48:30,640 --> 00:48:33,239
Speaker 1: don't know. Did you just site college game tape of

976
00:48:33,600 --> 00:48:35,920
Speaker 1: Dominkin sue that was good. I'm just saying he he

977
00:48:36,040 --> 00:48:38,080
Speaker 1: was like one of the most dominant defensive players in

978
00:48:38,080 --> 00:48:44,760
Speaker 1: college history. Uh, Nebraska Sioux sounds like a woman. Um.

979
00:48:44,880 --> 00:48:47,120
Speaker 1: And by the way, I think the Dolphins will win

980
00:48:47,160 --> 00:48:49,040
Speaker 1: this week, and I look at the Jet schedule, their

981
00:48:49,040 --> 00:48:51,560
Speaker 1: next three gonna lock this one up to No, I

982
00:48:51,560 --> 00:48:54,040
Speaker 1: already did am I allowed to? You can't lock against

983
00:48:54,080 --> 00:48:56,919
Speaker 1: the Jets At this point, I feel like, um, if

984
00:48:56,920 --> 00:48:59,760
Speaker 1: they don't win at home against Miami, at home against

985
00:48:59,800 --> 00:49:03,160
Speaker 1: jack Seville, or at Cleveland, I start to get worried.

986
00:49:03,800 --> 00:49:07,600
Speaker 1: That Jets Cleveland game is starting to feel intriguing. Jermin

987
00:49:07,920 --> 00:49:09,680
Speaker 1: night fever, both of them their best chance to get

988
00:49:09,680 --> 00:49:12,279
Speaker 1: a win. Jermaine curse. When guy really playing well for Yeah,

989
00:49:12,280 --> 00:49:14,560
Speaker 1: he's doing good, he is. That trade is not looking

990
00:49:14,600 --> 00:49:19,399
Speaker 1: so bad. Second round pick, theircumstances, I think it was great.

991
00:49:19,800 --> 00:49:22,160
Speaker 1: Let's checking at the the other New York slash New

992
00:49:22,200 --> 00:49:25,680
Speaker 1: Jersey team, the New York Giants. Oh and two desperation time,

993
00:49:26,160 --> 00:49:29,800
Speaker 1: two stinkers in prime time. And I've defended the Giants

994
00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:32,239
Speaker 1: in prime time as well as I've defended ELI. Can't

995
00:49:32,239 --> 00:49:35,000
Speaker 1: defend anything right now because keep them off prime time

996
00:49:35,040 --> 00:49:37,360
Speaker 1: until they're gonna score some points and give us some excitement. Now,

997
00:49:37,400 --> 00:49:40,640
Speaker 1: they go to the Philadelphia to face the Eagles, and

998
00:49:41,120 --> 00:49:44,360
Speaker 1: Greg and this game, you know what I thought. You know,

999
00:49:44,400 --> 00:49:47,080
Speaker 1: they took care of business the Eagles in in Week one,

1000
00:49:47,440 --> 00:49:49,919
Speaker 1: and the Redskins were sloppy. They didn't win last week

1001
00:49:49,960 --> 00:49:52,680
Speaker 1: in Arrowhead, but I was very impressed by the Eagles

1002
00:49:52,719 --> 00:49:55,000
Speaker 1: in general in that game. And I like the Eagles.

1003
00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:57,239
Speaker 1: I I think they're probably my favorite team in the

1004
00:49:57,360 --> 00:49:59,359
Speaker 1: in this division right now. And this it would say

1005
00:49:59,360 --> 00:50:02,240
Speaker 1: a lot to me if they can win this home

1006
00:50:02,360 --> 00:50:05,880
Speaker 1: game against the Giants, really put a division foe and

1007
00:50:06,080 --> 00:50:08,800
Speaker 1: who has been a thorn in their side, really bury

1008
00:50:08,840 --> 00:50:11,279
Speaker 1: him a little bit. Because it's a huge, huge game

1009
00:50:11,320 --> 00:50:13,360
Speaker 1: for the Giants. It's not as big for the Eagles

1010
00:50:13,360 --> 00:50:16,080
Speaker 1: because this whole divisions up and down. I look for

1011
00:50:16,120 --> 00:50:19,000
Speaker 1: the Giants to make some changes. I mean, McAdoo said,

1012
00:50:19,080 --> 00:50:22,000
Speaker 1: maybe he's not going to call the plays. We'll see

1013
00:50:22,280 --> 00:50:26,319
Speaker 1: maybe Flowers might get benched. What are what is? What

1014
00:50:26,400 --> 00:50:28,600
Speaker 1: are his answers? Because I think this is the week

1015
00:50:28,680 --> 00:50:31,520
Speaker 1: that I think they make some changes. Maybe Brandon Marshall

1016
00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:33,239
Speaker 1: doesn't play at all. I don't I don't really know.

1017
00:50:34,160 --> 00:50:36,839
Speaker 1: The off season was the time to make changes, time

1018
00:50:36,880 --> 00:50:39,759
Speaker 1: to get a left tackle, the time to sign a

1019
00:50:39,800 --> 00:50:41,640
Speaker 1: wide receiver who's probably not at the end of the

1020
00:50:41,680 --> 00:50:44,719
Speaker 1: line like Brandon Marshall. I don't know. If I don't

1021
00:50:44,719 --> 00:50:47,360
Speaker 1: think this offense six this this is a defense they

1022
00:50:47,400 --> 00:50:51,399
Speaker 1: should be attacking though, because the Eagles are missing two

1023
00:50:51,480 --> 00:50:54,640
Speaker 1: starters at least in the secondary with hamstring injuries. So

1024
00:50:54,680 --> 00:50:56,280
Speaker 1: normally you would go into that game and say, okay,

1025
00:50:56,320 --> 00:50:58,560
Speaker 1: let's let's attack them through the air, except to attack

1026
00:50:58,600 --> 00:51:01,759
Speaker 1: him with what Paul Perkins, who's rushing for like what

1027
00:51:01,880 --> 00:51:03,960
Speaker 1: one point eight yards percaring me, they have no they

1028
00:51:04,000 --> 00:51:07,040
Speaker 1: have no reliable ground game. You immediately Eli Manning. We

1029
00:51:07,200 --> 00:51:09,399
Speaker 1: can all see he is at the end of the road.

1030
00:51:09,760 --> 00:51:12,200
Speaker 1: But he's in a terrible position too. He's in fact,

1031
00:51:12,200 --> 00:51:14,719
Speaker 1: they're getting killed. There's no balance to the offense. I

1032
00:51:14,719 --> 00:51:18,120
Speaker 1: think the Eagles could romp romp one thing with um

1033
00:51:18,239 --> 00:51:20,520
Speaker 1: and everybody's talking a lot about the lack of scoring.

1034
00:51:20,600 --> 00:51:22,400
Speaker 1: I think West you brought it up. You mentioned it,

1035
00:51:22,440 --> 00:51:24,440
Speaker 1: so I'll bring up something I was thinking about. So

1036
00:51:24,640 --> 00:51:26,759
Speaker 1: obviously one of the problems right now is there's not

1037
00:51:26,800 --> 00:51:29,560
Speaker 1: a good enough good quarterbacks in the league. Uh, And

1038
00:51:29,680 --> 00:51:32,160
Speaker 1: that's a problem, and that leads to lack of scoring.

1039
00:51:32,160 --> 00:51:34,080
Speaker 1: But there's also seems to be like an offensive line

1040
00:51:34,120 --> 00:51:36,480
Speaker 1: issue going on here. The Giants are a perfect example

1041
00:51:36,520 --> 00:51:39,640
Speaker 1: because they knew they had major line line issues at

1042
00:51:39,640 --> 00:51:41,600
Speaker 1: the end of last season, and then they went into

1043
00:51:41,600 --> 00:51:44,440
Speaker 1: an offseason where we were told there wasn't a lot

1044
00:51:44,480 --> 00:51:46,400
Speaker 1: of talent in the draft and there wasn't a lot

1045
00:51:46,440 --> 00:51:48,600
Speaker 1: of talent free agency. So the Giants just like shrugged

1046
00:51:48,600 --> 00:51:50,439
Speaker 1: their shoulders and said, we'll just stick with his line

1047
00:51:50,440 --> 00:51:52,120
Speaker 1: and try to get them right. But it kind of

1048
00:51:52,160 --> 00:51:55,040
Speaker 1: shows they didn't have options. They could have thrown a

1049
00:51:55,080 --> 00:51:56,799
Speaker 1: lot of money out there or taken a chance man

1050
00:51:56,840 --> 00:51:59,479
Speaker 1: to try something. They took another road. They did try something,

1051
00:51:59,480 --> 00:52:01,800
Speaker 1: which is try to develop these guys and it's not working.

1052
00:52:01,840 --> 00:52:05,640
Speaker 1: But I think maybe there's more the same thing in Cincinnati. Yeah,

1053
00:52:05,680 --> 00:52:08,480
Speaker 1: I think one of the major storylines of last season

1054
00:52:08,520 --> 00:52:12,000
Speaker 1: and this season is is the dearth of quality offensive lineman,

1055
00:52:12,480 --> 00:52:15,680
Speaker 1: compounded by the fact that nobody plays their starters in

1056
00:52:15,719 --> 00:52:18,600
Speaker 1: the preseason anymore, which means your first month of the

1057
00:52:18,640 --> 00:52:20,759
Speaker 1: season is really preseason. Now. I want to I want

1058
00:52:20,760 --> 00:52:22,800
Speaker 1: to see what Carson Wentz does against the Giants defense,

1059
00:52:22,840 --> 00:52:25,440
Speaker 1: which has been fine, they haven't really disappointed it. Wentz

1060
00:52:25,520 --> 00:52:26,959
Speaker 1: is a strange guy. He I don't think he looks

1061
00:52:27,040 --> 00:52:29,319
Speaker 1: quite as good as his numbers indicate this year, Like

1062
00:52:29,360 --> 00:52:32,720
Speaker 1: he is already right there with with young Kim Newton

1063
00:52:32,760 --> 00:52:35,799
Speaker 1: or whoever has one of the best improvisational quarterbacks in

1064
00:52:35,840 --> 00:52:38,080
Speaker 1: the league. Like he is tough to take down. He's great,

1065
00:52:38,120 --> 00:52:41,120
Speaker 1: that's his game, but he's also really erratic and misses

1066
00:52:41,160 --> 00:52:43,400
Speaker 1: a lot of really routine that's a double edged sword

1067
00:52:43,440 --> 00:52:46,640
Speaker 1: because he's too frenetic in pocket. He's too careless with

1068
00:52:46,680 --> 00:52:49,799
Speaker 1: the ball, and I caught him last week a couple

1069
00:52:49,800 --> 00:52:52,640
Speaker 1: of instances where he's bringing out that long, looping throwing motion.

1070
00:52:52,800 --> 00:52:56,360
Speaker 1: He missed screen passes, like his the worst screen pass quarterbacks.

1071
00:52:56,680 --> 00:52:59,800
Speaker 1: His numbers look great, but he's and he's fun to watch,

1072
00:52:59,840 --> 00:53:01,239
Speaker 1: but he's just you sort of don't know what you're

1073
00:53:01,239 --> 00:53:02,480
Speaker 1: gonna do. Is there a team you trust in this

1074
00:53:02,560 --> 00:53:06,520
Speaker 1: division more than the Eagles the Cowboys, I do. They're

1075
00:53:06,719 --> 00:53:09,439
Speaker 1: The other thing with Carson Wentz is the volume. I mean,

1076
00:53:09,960 --> 00:53:12,200
Speaker 1: there's a stat out there that in his first eighteen

1077
00:53:12,280 --> 00:53:15,439
Speaker 1: games a starter all time, Andrew Lux the only guy

1078
00:53:15,480 --> 00:53:18,279
Speaker 1: that's thrown more passes. They're putting a lot on his plate.

1079
00:53:18,360 --> 00:53:20,560
Speaker 1: He's still young and developing. They don't really have the

1080
00:53:20,640 --> 00:53:22,960
Speaker 1: running back. They won't run it this week against the Giants.

1081
00:53:23,000 --> 00:53:25,160
Speaker 1: They don't even try. That's asking all they're get. Putting

1082
00:53:25,160 --> 00:53:28,400
Speaker 1: a ton on the kids plate. Yeah, con Well, Garrett

1083
00:53:28,400 --> 00:53:31,280
Speaker 1: Blunt did nothing last week. He barely even played. Wendell

1084
00:53:31,320 --> 00:53:33,640
Speaker 1: Smallwood is like a third or fourth running back on

1085
00:53:33,719 --> 00:53:36,560
Speaker 1: most teams. Called him small time. I mean he's he's

1086
00:53:36,560 --> 00:53:38,799
Speaker 1: a role player. They don't have a good running game.

1087
00:53:38,800 --> 00:53:41,680
Speaker 1: I wouldn't expect that to be much different. Going pretty

1088
00:53:41,680 --> 00:53:45,680
Speaker 1: strong at thirty four, he's an amazing NFL career. They're

1089
00:53:45,680 --> 00:53:47,600
Speaker 1: in Sprawls. The Saints gave up on him three or

1090
00:53:47,600 --> 00:53:49,319
Speaker 1: four years ago. They could have used Darren Sprawls this

1091
00:53:49,320 --> 00:53:51,680
Speaker 1: all time. Garrett Blunt back on the Patriots by week ten,

1092
00:53:52,000 --> 00:53:53,719
Speaker 1: I can totally see it. And by the way, the

1093
00:53:53,840 --> 00:53:56,719
Speaker 1: Vultures I'm not picking the Giants this week. The vultures

1094
00:53:56,760 --> 00:53:59,920
Speaker 1: are circling Ben McAdoo in New York the way they

1095
00:54:00,040 --> 00:54:03,560
Speaker 1: once circled Ray Hanley and they won, secret circled Dan

1096
00:54:03,640 --> 00:54:06,200
Speaker 1: Reeves and then they start to turn on you. I

1097
00:54:06,200 --> 00:54:08,840
Speaker 1: don't think Ben is somebody I just called him as

1098
00:54:08,840 --> 00:54:10,440
Speaker 1: his first name. I don't think he's gonna be able

1099
00:54:10,480 --> 00:54:11,839
Speaker 1: to handle it. I think the teams that they're gonna

1100
00:54:11,880 --> 00:54:13,640
Speaker 1: have a down year, and I think he's gonna go.

1101
00:54:13,680 --> 00:54:15,879
Speaker 1: He just getting testy with them with the media this week.

1102
00:54:15,960 --> 00:54:17,960
Speaker 1: I'm talking hot, but he might be the first guy

1103
00:54:18,000 --> 00:54:21,040
Speaker 1: to go or something like that type of situation. Uh,

1104
00:54:21,120 --> 00:54:22,480
Speaker 1: if they don't find a way to win this game,

1105
00:54:22,480 --> 00:54:24,640
Speaker 1: and yet I don't think they will. I mean, he's

1106
00:54:24,719 --> 00:54:27,480
Speaker 1: won one in playoff appearances in his career and does

1107
00:54:27,520 --> 00:54:31,239
Speaker 1: work for a very patient owner a team Handley was

1108
00:54:31,239 --> 00:54:33,880
Speaker 1: one and done. Just what about what about the general manager?

1109
00:54:33,920 --> 00:54:35,759
Speaker 1: I mean, do we everything we just discussed there's a

1110
00:54:35,760 --> 00:54:37,720
Speaker 1: lot to do with with them, is with him as well.

1111
00:54:37,880 --> 00:54:42,560
Speaker 1: All right, let's move on the Seattle Seahawks. Well, I'm

1112
00:54:42,640 --> 00:54:44,879
Speaker 1: so annoyed by the Seahawks. You want to talk about

1113
00:54:45,080 --> 00:54:47,359
Speaker 1: everything we're excited about the thing. Oh, this is gonna

1114
00:54:47,400 --> 00:54:49,279
Speaker 1: be a fun season. I think Russell Wilson was gonna

1115
00:54:49,320 --> 00:54:51,200
Speaker 1: be the m v P. Before the season, Starry, I

1116
00:54:51,239 --> 00:54:53,480
Speaker 1: thought they were gonna score piles of points. And now

1117
00:54:53,520 --> 00:54:55,719
Speaker 1: when I watch the Seahawks, they're just getting boring. It's

1118
00:54:55,760 --> 00:54:58,319
Speaker 1: just like the same thing. A twelve nine win over

1119
00:54:58,320 --> 00:55:01,279
Speaker 1: the forty niners at home. Come back to US Seahawks.

1120
00:55:01,280 --> 00:55:04,160
Speaker 1: Now you go to Tennessee and I'll tell you what interesting,

1121
00:55:04,239 --> 00:55:07,800
Speaker 1: interesting game Mark Sessler against the Titans, who got healthy

1122
00:55:07,800 --> 00:55:10,040
Speaker 1: against the Jaguars, did what they had to do. Now

1123
00:55:10,080 --> 00:55:13,640
Speaker 1: they get a second chance in their building to prove

1124
00:55:14,239 --> 00:55:17,000
Speaker 1: to the world but specifically the old Zeuser that they're

1125
00:55:17,040 --> 00:55:19,279
Speaker 1: not the Tytoons. Well, when we want to talk about

1126
00:55:19,280 --> 00:55:23,040
Speaker 1: the offensive line crisis, I think Seattle is another team

1127
00:55:23,040 --> 00:55:28,120
Speaker 1: to point to it. Russell Wilson weeks ago was on healthy,

1128
00:55:28,160 --> 00:55:29,920
Speaker 1: like we talked about, he had lost weight. We were

1129
00:55:29,960 --> 00:55:32,520
Speaker 1: all very high on the idea this offense could shine.

1130
00:55:32,880 --> 00:55:35,719
Speaker 1: And they're in the same predicament they were last year

1131
00:55:36,440 --> 00:55:38,879
Speaker 1: and the year before in terms of their offensive line.

1132
00:55:38,880 --> 00:55:41,240
Speaker 1: And I trust Seattle to kind of round into shape

1133
00:55:41,239 --> 00:55:44,440
Speaker 1: on offense. They've started slow under Pete Carroll, over and over.

1134
00:55:44,880 --> 00:55:47,640
Speaker 1: But this feels different to me. I just I just

1135
00:55:48,120 --> 00:55:51,040
Speaker 1: this offensive line. I just don't trust this team to

1136
00:55:51,239 --> 00:55:54,040
Speaker 1: necessarily sort of these twelve and four, thirteen and three

1137
00:55:54,120 --> 00:55:56,640
Speaker 1: heights that people were talking about a month ago. Yeah.

1138
00:55:56,760 --> 00:55:59,080
Speaker 1: I know everyone expects the Seahawks this is the same

1139
00:55:59,120 --> 00:56:00,920
Speaker 1: old story. They'll be on the right the ship and

1140
00:56:00,920 --> 00:56:02,480
Speaker 1: by the end of the year will be in the playoffs.

1141
00:56:02,760 --> 00:56:05,080
Speaker 1: But these things they add up over time, and your

1142
00:56:05,120 --> 00:56:08,200
Speaker 1: quarterback starts to fall into bad habits, and last week

1143
00:56:08,239 --> 00:56:11,160
Speaker 1: he caused a couple of those sacks. His delivery looks

1144
00:56:11,200 --> 00:56:14,799
Speaker 1: a little bit different now. And I think if year

1145
00:56:14,840 --> 00:56:17,080
Speaker 1: after year after year you have to start the first

1146
00:56:17,080 --> 00:56:19,319
Speaker 1: two months of the season or your quarterback running for

1147
00:56:19,360 --> 00:56:22,719
Speaker 1: his life, those things add up that the week, the

1148
00:56:22,760 --> 00:56:25,759
Speaker 1: game against the forty niners was really concerning if you're

1149
00:56:25,760 --> 00:56:28,360
Speaker 1: a Russell Wilson fan. So I I really am curious

1150
00:56:28,400 --> 00:56:30,600
Speaker 1: to watch this one because the one thing you don't

1151
00:56:30,640 --> 00:56:35,520
Speaker 1: worry about him is his like throwing ability, and that

1152
00:56:35,560 --> 00:56:37,560
Speaker 1: was where he had just a couple of weird ones

1153
00:56:37,640 --> 00:56:40,280
Speaker 1: that where it came out really funny. I think West

1154
00:56:40,280 --> 00:56:42,400
Speaker 1: and a lot of people noticed that he had a

1155
00:56:42,400 --> 00:56:45,040
Speaker 1: little bit of that bordles wind up out of nowhere.

1156
00:56:45,440 --> 00:56:48,680
Speaker 1: I don't know he's always had that. Indeed, Jeremiah has

1157
00:56:48,719 --> 00:56:50,920
Speaker 1: talked about it, but it looked worse last week. I'm

1158
00:56:50,920 --> 00:56:53,760
Speaker 1: not going to be ignored. And the balls came out funny.

1159
00:56:53,760 --> 00:56:55,759
Speaker 1: He had a couple that were just like Wow, I'm

1160
00:56:55,800 --> 00:56:58,400
Speaker 1: surprised Russell Wilson through that. Jeremiah had that motion in

1161
00:56:58,440 --> 00:57:03,600
Speaker 1: college himself. That is that is at best. Well, this

1162
00:57:03,640 --> 00:57:06,920
Speaker 1: is the this is the week though, uh Dan, you know,

1163
00:57:06,960 --> 00:57:09,040
Speaker 1: for you to for the Titans to finally kill your

1164
00:57:09,080 --> 00:57:12,319
Speaker 1: little titoons, I mean, what more do they more do

1165
00:57:12,360 --> 00:57:14,880
Speaker 1: they have to do? I mean Marcus Mariotta dropping pretty

1166
00:57:14,920 --> 00:57:17,480
Speaker 1: passes up the seams. What a great match up him

1167
00:57:17,600 --> 00:57:21,560
Speaker 1: versus Earl Thomas. I win this week and then it

1168
00:57:21,560 --> 00:57:24,680
Speaker 1: should be over. What did West? What did Adrian say

1169
00:57:24,680 --> 00:57:27,000
Speaker 1: to Rocky when she was on the bed after the

1170
00:57:27,640 --> 00:57:30,960
Speaker 1: baby scare and Rocky was about to go to the

1171
00:57:31,000 --> 00:57:33,959
Speaker 1: arena and the Adrian, are you okay? And and there's

1172
00:57:34,240 --> 00:57:36,760
Speaker 1: one thing I want to tell you Rocky, one thing?

1173
00:57:37,160 --> 00:57:39,640
Speaker 1: And what did she say? West? I would guess I

1174
00:57:39,640 --> 00:57:43,160
Speaker 1: love you. How about maybe something like, you know, knock

1175
00:57:43,200 --> 00:57:48,680
Speaker 1: him out? She said? She said win? She said, go Titans,

1176
00:57:49,280 --> 00:57:52,680
Speaker 1: let's see if they win. I think they I think

1177
00:57:52,720 --> 00:57:54,880
Speaker 1: they can. I think they will win this game. I'm

1178
00:57:54,880 --> 00:57:57,160
Speaker 1: picking them to win. This isn't a perfect Seattle team,

1179
00:57:57,160 --> 00:58:00,640
Speaker 1: so they should And and I wonder now to Marco

1180
00:58:00,720 --> 00:58:05,080
Speaker 1: Murray's missing time with his hamstring. He looked really slow

1181
00:58:05,160 --> 00:58:08,080
Speaker 1: and tenanted this season, and Derrick Henry look great, and

1182
00:58:08,120 --> 00:58:10,840
Speaker 1: that made them look like the Titans again last week.

1183
00:58:10,880 --> 00:58:12,960
Speaker 1: And I think that's it's a great matchup against the

1184
00:58:13,120 --> 00:58:15,400
Speaker 1: best thing for this Titans offenses for Murray to sit

1185
00:58:15,440 --> 00:58:18,800
Speaker 1: out with that hamstring and not come back until he's

1186
00:58:19,000 --> 00:58:21,760
Speaker 1: because Derrick Henry is the best running back on this team.

1187
00:58:21,840 --> 00:58:27,000
Speaker 1: Right now, let's move on the Cincinnati Bengals winless yikes,

1188
00:58:27,040 --> 00:58:34,200
Speaker 1: haven't scored a touchdown yet. Yikes. Fired their offensive coordinator. Yikes.

1189
00:58:34,240 --> 00:58:39,240
Speaker 1: But guess who's here? Who blazzer? Maybe a little scores

1190
00:58:39,280 --> 00:58:42,320
Speaker 1: of sludsdowns. And again, just like I was saying, when

1191
00:58:42,360 --> 00:58:45,320
Speaker 1: you bang yourself with two straight losses to start the season,

1192
00:58:45,480 --> 00:58:47,960
Speaker 1: when you double bang yourself with two straight home losses

1193
00:58:47,960 --> 00:58:50,000
Speaker 1: of the season, the schedule gods, they just throw up

1194
00:58:50,000 --> 00:58:52,240
Speaker 1: a big few and they say, now go to Green

1195
00:58:52,280 --> 00:58:54,680
Speaker 1: Bay and try to save your season. That's your punishment

1196
00:58:54,880 --> 00:58:59,960
Speaker 1: quest The only two teams Aaron Rodgers has not beat

1197
00:59:00,080 --> 00:59:03,600
Speaker 1: in his career or the Green Bay Packers and the

1198
00:59:03,640 --> 00:59:07,320
Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengals. Wow, I think that might change. Yeah, I

1199
00:59:07,320 --> 00:59:09,160
Speaker 1: think I feel like it's it's a little it's almost

1200
00:59:09,240 --> 00:59:11,240
Speaker 1: unfair to include the Packers on that list, but I'll

1201
00:59:11,320 --> 00:59:13,280
Speaker 1: let you, I'll let it pass. Well, yeah, I mean

1202
00:59:13,600 --> 00:59:17,200
Speaker 1: I'm just being technically correct. But what about Well, here's

1203
00:59:17,200 --> 00:59:22,080
Speaker 1: Bill Laser's challenge. Right now, the Cincinnati Reds are scoring

1204
00:59:22,120 --> 00:59:26,160
Speaker 1: more out and then Cincinnati Bengals good baseball ref Mark.

1205
00:59:27,200 --> 00:59:29,320
Speaker 1: He talked this week about like our new plan is

1206
00:59:29,360 --> 00:59:31,080
Speaker 1: going to be get the ball out of his hands faster.

1207
00:59:31,520 --> 00:59:34,680
Speaker 1: It's like, what was the plan before? Andy Dalton's just

1208
00:59:34,720 --> 00:59:37,240
Speaker 1: like going back there, like Terry Bradge that throw a bombs.

1209
00:59:37,240 --> 00:59:40,040
Speaker 1: That's not what they were doing. Well, I know Adam

1210
00:59:40,080 --> 00:59:41,720
Speaker 1: Gates gets a ton of credit for what he did

1211
00:59:41,720 --> 00:59:44,720
Speaker 1: with Ryan Tannehill. I think the best ball Tannahill ever

1212
00:59:44,720 --> 00:59:47,440
Speaker 1: played was under Bill Laser when they were running that

1213
00:59:47,520 --> 00:59:55,480
Speaker 1: quick attack, quick and give me another one. It might

1214
00:59:55,480 --> 00:59:57,560
Speaker 1: take a few weeks for Andy Dalton to get used

1215
00:59:57,560 --> 00:59:59,880
Speaker 1: to that new offense, though, I think the Packers should

1216
00:59:59,880 --> 01:00:02,439
Speaker 1: be excited even though they lost last week. Randall Cobb

1217
01:00:02,520 --> 01:00:05,680
Speaker 1: looks like he's back. Looks like Randall Cobay Matthews kind

1218
01:00:05,680 --> 01:00:08,600
Speaker 1: of looks like he's Clay Matthews. Again. There's some good

1219
01:00:08,680 --> 01:00:11,080
Speaker 1: there's some good signs here for the past. Those even lasers,

1220
01:00:11,080 --> 01:00:13,960
Speaker 1: by the way, I think we need to upgrade the lasers.

1221
01:00:14,160 --> 01:00:16,760
Speaker 1: We need, like the like the Star Wars like laser

1222
01:00:16,880 --> 01:00:19,600
Speaker 1: beam shooter. We need like a different laser that that

1223
01:00:19,640 --> 01:00:23,160
Speaker 1: will be a good job, a task for you shooter. Yeah,

1224
01:00:23,200 --> 01:00:25,280
Speaker 1: one of those stupid guns at the alien shoot with

1225
01:00:25,320 --> 01:00:29,400
Speaker 1: the white masks. I know what you're talking about. The

1226
01:00:29,400 --> 01:00:33,280
Speaker 1: people in the exoskeletons, the stormtroopers, stormtroopers. Yeah, I think

1227
01:00:34,440 --> 01:00:40,480
Speaker 1: soldiers brought us closer. There's a bit they based on

1228
01:00:41,000 --> 01:00:45,040
Speaker 1: Hitler's SS Troops. I think there's some lineage there. Yeah,

1229
01:00:45,960 --> 01:00:47,120
Speaker 1: I know, I know. We have to move on to

1230
01:00:48,480 --> 01:00:50,720
Speaker 1: does Bill laser fix the Bengals offensive line? Tell me

1231
01:00:50,880 --> 01:00:53,400
Speaker 1: that I want to know, just for some of our

1232
01:00:53,400 --> 01:00:56,240
Speaker 1: confused listeners, and and I it's so great to have

1233
01:00:56,320 --> 01:00:58,960
Speaker 1: West back here to answer this question. Explain to the

1234
01:00:59,000 --> 01:01:02,440
Speaker 1: listeners how the start to the season, how that impacts

1235
01:01:02,480 --> 01:01:05,600
Speaker 1: the Daltons scale and and what it really means. Some

1236
01:01:05,640 --> 01:01:07,400
Speaker 1: people are asking like, oh, does this mean he's so

1237
01:01:07,440 --> 01:01:10,439
Speaker 1: bad it messes up the Daltons scale, But go ahead

1238
01:01:10,440 --> 01:01:12,720
Speaker 1: answer that first. I mean he's been perfect for the

1239
01:01:12,760 --> 01:01:16,800
Speaker 1: Dalton scale all along, because exactly he is so reliant

1240
01:01:16,800 --> 01:01:19,480
Speaker 1: on his surrounding talent and coaching. That's why he's the

1241
01:01:19,480 --> 01:01:22,320
Speaker 1: perfect prime Ridian, because any Dalton's the same quarterback he's

1242
01:01:22,360 --> 01:01:25,400
Speaker 1: ever been. It's just that his offensive line is worse

1243
01:01:25,480 --> 01:01:28,640
Speaker 1: now than it's ever been. The running game is inconsistent,

1244
01:01:29,240 --> 01:01:32,919
Speaker 1: there's no number two receiver to step up opposite A. J. Green,

1245
01:01:33,120 --> 01:01:35,520
Speaker 1: and Tyler Reifford hasn't been playing as well. The scale

1246
01:01:35,560 --> 01:01:37,600
Speaker 1: still makes sense. He's the private Indian. If you have

1247
01:01:37,640 --> 01:01:40,080
Speaker 1: a franchise quarterback better than him. Counterpoint, you don't need

1248
01:01:40,120 --> 01:01:42,280
Speaker 1: to look for one. How many quarterbacks when you lay

1249
01:01:42,280 --> 01:01:45,440
Speaker 1: out all those things would do the same exact thing.

1250
01:01:45,480 --> 01:01:48,400
Speaker 1: They A lot of quarterbacks, unless you're talking about the

1251
01:01:48,400 --> 01:01:51,520
Speaker 1: great ones sink and swim. But he's always been thoroughly average.

1252
01:01:51,920 --> 01:01:54,040
Speaker 1: A lot of quarterbacks raised the level of the town

1253
01:01:54,080 --> 01:01:56,240
Speaker 1: around him. He has never been able to do that.

1254
01:01:56,360 --> 01:01:58,800
Speaker 1: League needs more of those guys that raise their team.

1255
01:01:59,440 --> 01:02:03,280
Speaker 1: All right, moving on, the Kansas City Chiefs UH two

1256
01:02:03,320 --> 01:02:07,160
Speaker 1: and O travel to Los Angeles and the stub Hub Center.

1257
01:02:07,440 --> 01:02:12,840
Speaker 1: I call it Mark Sesler Memorial Stadium. I'm gonna bring

1258
01:02:12,880 --> 01:02:14,760
Speaker 1: you to one of those games, and you're gonna I will.

1259
01:02:14,800 --> 01:02:18,160
Speaker 1: I can't wait. I'm looking forward to. They only usually

1260
01:02:18,160 --> 01:02:21,720
Speaker 1: do that after the person is deceased. Yeah, I know,

1261
01:02:21,880 --> 01:02:24,160
Speaker 1: the more wish casting by Dan. Yeah, that's like one

1262
01:02:24,200 --> 01:02:26,480
Speaker 1: day they'll name it Mark Seiler Remortal. But like a

1263
01:02:26,600 --> 01:02:28,680
Speaker 1: soccer stadium at that point, will no longer. How's the

1264
01:02:28,760 --> 01:02:31,040
Speaker 1: Chargers will be named after me? I have never been.

1265
01:02:31,400 --> 01:02:34,120
Speaker 1: They're like, remember that article he wrote that Monday morning

1266
01:02:34,160 --> 01:02:35,880
Speaker 1: on the past game. We're not going to name it.

1267
01:02:36,440 --> 01:02:38,800
Speaker 1: Good luck finding that on NFL dot com a long time.

1268
01:02:38,800 --> 01:02:41,000
Speaker 1: I'm talking like seven or eight years. It's gonna take.

1269
01:02:41,080 --> 01:02:46,760
Speaker 1: So here we go the Chargers because the kicker couldn't

1270
01:02:46,800 --> 01:02:50,560
Speaker 1: make a kick. As much as we support him, we

1271
01:02:50,640 --> 01:02:54,160
Speaker 1: love coup. Uh. Now they get the Chiefs Greg and

1272
01:02:54,520 --> 01:02:57,960
Speaker 1: it feels like the Chargers are about to go in three.

1273
01:02:58,040 --> 01:03:00,400
Speaker 1: What do you think this is a winnable game for them?

1274
01:03:00,440 --> 01:03:03,080
Speaker 1: Let's not make the Chiefs into some unbeatable squad in

1275
01:03:03,080 --> 01:03:06,560
Speaker 1: the Charges have been there both weeks and they look

1276
01:03:06,600 --> 01:03:08,360
Speaker 1: like the middle of the road team that finds a

1277
01:03:08,400 --> 01:03:12,480
Speaker 1: way to lose games. Unfortunately, I would be worried about

1278
01:03:12,560 --> 01:03:15,120
Speaker 1: two things. Number One, what's this if we thought there

1279
01:03:15,160 --> 01:03:17,520
Speaker 1: was a lot of Dolphins fans there, that's gonna be

1280
01:03:17,560 --> 01:03:21,000
Speaker 1: a sea reed on Sunday. And I'm sure that Chargers

1281
01:03:22,000 --> 01:03:24,840
Speaker 1: brass are are a little concerned about that crowd being

1282
01:03:24,920 --> 01:03:28,120
Speaker 1: almost two thirds Chiefs and going wild or something. And

1283
01:03:28,160 --> 01:03:30,960
Speaker 1: then second, who's stopping cream Hunt? Because the Charges can't

1284
01:03:31,000 --> 01:03:33,920
Speaker 1: stop anyone on the ground right now. They're giving up

1285
01:03:33,960 --> 01:03:36,680
Speaker 1: big lanes both both weeks, and to try to stop

1286
01:03:36,720 --> 01:03:39,280
Speaker 1: this Kansas City attack is gonna be tough. I thought

1287
01:03:39,320 --> 01:03:42,720
Speaker 1: we'd get more with the way that Anthony Lynne loves

1288
01:03:42,760 --> 01:03:45,720
Speaker 1: to coach offense Melvin Gordon in this ground game have

1289
01:03:45,840 --> 01:03:50,600
Speaker 1: taken timely, unreliable. There's no sustaining element in their offense

1290
01:03:51,160 --> 01:03:55,800
Speaker 1: because they can't run block, so their offense is entirely

1291
01:03:55,800 --> 01:03:58,440
Speaker 1: reliant on Philip rivers getting time to get in a rhythm.

1292
01:03:58,720 --> 01:04:01,080
Speaker 1: And that's why for quarters at a time they don't

1293
01:04:01,080 --> 01:04:03,600
Speaker 1: move the ball much. And then but when they seem

1294
01:04:03,680 --> 01:04:06,600
Speaker 1: like they needed to or when they got in catchup mode.

1295
01:04:06,600 --> 01:04:09,600
Speaker 1: I guess it's like he's throwing pretty passes. He's he's

1296
01:04:09,680 --> 01:04:12,960
Speaker 1: getting fifteen twenty yards Keenan Allen looks pretty good. They

1297
01:04:13,040 --> 01:04:16,439
Speaker 1: look good. Yeah. They You look at them and they've

1298
01:04:16,480 --> 01:04:19,680
Speaker 1: got so much talent they that you think, well, Travis

1299
01:04:19,680 --> 01:04:22,200
Speaker 1: Benjamin should get a few more throws. Hunter and Henry

1300
01:04:22,200 --> 01:04:24,880
Speaker 1: should be more involved. They've just got too many mouths

1301
01:04:24,880 --> 01:04:27,240
Speaker 1: to feed in in an offensive line. It doesn't necessarily

1302
01:04:27,320 --> 01:04:29,680
Speaker 1: let them feed those mouths. They have lost seven straight

1303
01:04:29,760 --> 01:04:33,400
Speaker 1: games dating back to last seven and have seven blown leads,

1304
01:04:33,520 --> 01:04:35,200
Speaker 1: the point where they had to have the team meeting

1305
01:04:35,200 --> 01:04:37,000
Speaker 1: this week where Anthony Lynn had to talk about the

1306
01:04:37,040 --> 01:04:40,000
Speaker 1: fact that this isn't the same old Chargers. I think

1307
01:04:40,000 --> 01:04:42,600
Speaker 1: it's concerning in coming out a week two and you

1308
01:04:42,640 --> 01:04:46,160
Speaker 1: have to tell your athletes that this, you know, worry

1309
01:04:46,160 --> 01:04:48,040
Speaker 1: about them, don't get involved in the in the mind

1310
01:04:48,040 --> 01:04:50,120
Speaker 1: games here, it's not gonna happen again. We're not the

1311
01:04:50,160 --> 01:04:53,200
Speaker 1: same old thing. But they look exactly and Anthony Lynn

1312
01:04:53,480 --> 01:04:55,440
Speaker 1: and you know, best of luck to him and everything,

1313
01:04:55,440 --> 01:04:58,440
Speaker 1: but he's now over two in late game situations and

1314
01:04:58,480 --> 01:05:00,600
Speaker 1: how he's handled the game, in my opinion, and it's

1315
01:05:00,640 --> 01:05:04,040
Speaker 1: contributed to those losses. He could easily be too. Oh,

1316
01:05:04,160 --> 01:05:06,280
Speaker 1: that's easily. But that's the story of the Charges. Don't

1317
01:05:06,320 --> 01:05:09,000
Speaker 1: care what city they play for. Uh. One of the

1318
01:05:09,040 --> 01:05:12,440
Speaker 1: things to watch the Chiefs have now have four plays

1319
01:05:12,440 --> 01:05:14,440
Speaker 1: of fifty plus yards. That's the same out they had

1320
01:05:14,480 --> 01:05:16,880
Speaker 1: all last year. I'm really curious. Is that going to

1321
01:05:16,960 --> 01:05:20,280
Speaker 1: be uh, something that keeps up, that keeps up the season,

1322
01:05:20,400 --> 01:05:22,320
Speaker 1: or is it just kind of a mirage early season

1323
01:05:22,360 --> 01:05:25,120
Speaker 1: mirage because if if, if not, if they are a

1324
01:05:25,200 --> 01:05:27,120
Speaker 1: chunk play team, now that will be one of the

1325
01:05:27,120 --> 01:05:29,960
Speaker 1: biggest surprises of the season. We'll remember how boring they

1326
01:05:30,040 --> 01:05:32,240
Speaker 1: used to be. And now when you watch this team

1327
01:05:32,360 --> 01:05:36,720
Speaker 1: like that Eagles game, they're so athletic. They have one

1328
01:05:36,720 --> 01:05:38,920
Speaker 1: of the most athletic quarterbacks in the league. You see

1329
01:05:39,360 --> 01:05:42,280
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey take off from like the four yard line,

1330
01:05:42,760 --> 01:05:44,920
Speaker 1: leap and then land three or four yards deep in

1331
01:05:44,960 --> 01:05:48,160
Speaker 1: the end zone. You see Daniel Sorenson flying through the

1332
01:05:48,200 --> 01:05:51,520
Speaker 1: air to hit the quarterback they've got. You know, Chris

1333
01:05:51,600 --> 01:05:53,600
Speaker 1: Jones has one of the best games you could have

1334
01:05:53,640 --> 01:05:56,640
Speaker 1: as a defensive lineman last week justin Houston looks like

1335
01:05:56,720 --> 01:05:59,320
Speaker 1: a defensive player that y're candidate again. This is a

1336
01:05:59,360 --> 01:06:02,800
Speaker 1: talented team, no main weakness. Sunday Night Football, The Oakland

1337
01:06:02,880 --> 01:06:08,640
Speaker 1: Raiders travel uh to oh Man. Let's see landover landover

1338
01:06:09,240 --> 01:06:14,960
Speaker 1: Maryland so that x field to face the Washington Redskins.

1339
01:06:14,960 --> 01:06:18,320
Speaker 1: The Skins pulled off the win with a late Kirk

1340
01:06:18,320 --> 01:06:21,760
Speaker 1: Cousins touchdown past and then an interception. The Raiders did

1341
01:06:21,800 --> 01:06:24,160
Speaker 1: what you expected them to do, which is kill the Jets.

1342
01:06:24,840 --> 01:06:28,280
Speaker 1: Uh So now uh, Sunday Night Football a little interesting

1343
01:06:28,320 --> 01:06:32,280
Speaker 1: marks Sunday Night Football matchup Redskins Raiders when you want

1344
01:06:32,320 --> 01:06:34,360
Speaker 1: to think that's a good game, but this this has

1345
01:06:34,360 --> 01:06:36,400
Speaker 1: a chance to be a very competitive game. Super Bowl

1346
01:06:36,480 --> 01:06:39,880
Speaker 1: rematch from that Marcus Allen explosion way back when in

1347
01:06:39,880 --> 01:06:42,080
Speaker 1: the eighties, the first Super Bowl I think I ever watched,

1348
01:06:42,520 --> 01:06:44,760
Speaker 1: and I think it's an interesting matchup. I mean, I

1349
01:06:44,760 --> 01:06:47,160
Speaker 1: I like the way that the Raiders are succeeding, the

1350
01:06:47,160 --> 01:06:49,680
Speaker 1: way they're winning games. It starts with their offensive line.

1351
01:06:50,240 --> 01:06:53,760
Speaker 1: They utterly dominated New York last week. And I came

1352
01:06:53,800 --> 01:06:56,000
Speaker 1: into this season wondering if the Raiders would be a

1353
01:06:56,000 --> 01:06:59,320
Speaker 1: team that would be quietly disappointing after last year. But

1354
01:06:59,320 --> 01:07:01,960
Speaker 1: it's the opposite because with Marshawn Lynch, you are getting

1355
01:07:02,200 --> 01:07:06,080
Speaker 1: a guy who looks not unlike Terrell Suggs, young and fresh,

1356
01:07:06,160 --> 01:07:08,960
Speaker 1: and he's he's he absolutely is the guy that can

1357
01:07:09,000 --> 01:07:10,760
Speaker 1: count on in the ground game. They've got great backup

1358
01:07:10,840 --> 01:07:13,720
Speaker 1: running backs to and you've got the best wide receiver

1359
01:07:13,800 --> 01:07:16,280
Speaker 1: duo in the NFL. How do these guys do it?

1360
01:07:16,760 --> 01:07:19,280
Speaker 1: I don't know how they do it, dude, Not just

1361
01:07:19,360 --> 01:07:22,480
Speaker 1: what that? How is that interplay? What I don't know?

1362
01:07:22,560 --> 01:07:25,400
Speaker 1: For all Suggs, Marshall, Lynch turning back the class, how

1363
01:07:25,440 --> 01:07:26,720
Speaker 1: do they do it? I see, I thought you were

1364
01:07:26,800 --> 01:07:28,959
Speaker 1: about the Raiders. Yes, it is concerning to see someone

1365
01:07:29,000 --> 01:07:32,880
Speaker 1: shaved ten years off their physical body. Not just the

1366
01:07:32,920 --> 01:07:36,840
Speaker 1: best wide receiver, but I think you can make a

1367
01:07:36,880 --> 01:07:39,120
Speaker 1: case that the Raiders have the best offensive line in

1368
01:07:39,160 --> 01:07:42,760
Speaker 1: the league, the best collection of receiving talent in the

1369
01:07:42,800 --> 01:07:46,080
Speaker 1: league when you add in Jared Cook, Cordarrel Patterson to

1370
01:07:46,160 --> 01:07:48,479
Speaker 1: the mix, and they just got Seth Roberts paid. Don't

1371
01:07:48,480 --> 01:07:51,080
Speaker 1: forget about Seth and the best backfield in the league

1372
01:07:51,120 --> 01:07:54,720
Speaker 1: with Jalen Rochard and DeAndre Washington playing with Marshawn Lynch,

1373
01:07:54,800 --> 01:07:56,880
Speaker 1: you can make the strong case for all of those.

1374
01:07:57,880 --> 01:07:59,880
Speaker 1: That's a lot of things. I mean, Derek Carr. I

1375
01:08:00,000 --> 01:08:02,080
Speaker 1: know he got sacked two plays in a row in

1376
01:08:02,120 --> 01:08:06,320
Speaker 1: Week one, but he's he's faced, he's great, He's he's faced.

1377
01:08:06,400 --> 01:08:11,480
Speaker 1: According to PFL. He's he's good. He's good player, good

1378
01:08:11,480 --> 01:08:14,360
Speaker 1: ball player. He's faced the least amount of pressure I

1379
01:08:14,360 --> 01:08:16,760
Speaker 1: think by a pretty good margin in terms of percentage

1380
01:08:16,760 --> 01:08:19,519
Speaker 1: of plays he's been pressured on, according to Pro Football Focus.

1381
01:08:19,640 --> 01:08:22,120
Speaker 1: So it plays out when you when you look at

1382
01:08:22,160 --> 01:08:25,360
Speaker 1: the numbers, and a sneaky kudos has to go to

1383
01:08:25,360 --> 01:08:29,160
Speaker 1: to Reggie mackenzie, Jacked Dorio and everyone that decided to

1384
01:08:29,360 --> 01:08:32,680
Speaker 1: can their offensive coordinator a year ago, Bill Musgrave and

1385
01:08:32,840 --> 01:08:36,000
Speaker 1: promote Todd Downing, who was wanted. I believe it was

1386
01:08:36,040 --> 01:08:39,560
Speaker 1: by the Broncos, if I'm remembering correctly, was wanted elsewhere

1387
01:08:39,560 --> 01:08:41,880
Speaker 1: in the league, and a lot of people I'm not

1388
01:08:41,920 --> 01:08:43,640
Speaker 1: smart enough to know, but they think he's one of

1389
01:08:43,640 --> 01:08:46,680
Speaker 1: the the brightest young minds. And if you watch what

1390
01:08:46,720 --> 01:08:48,840
Speaker 1: they've done these first two weeks, they have been very

1391
01:08:48,920 --> 01:08:52,880
Speaker 1: creative and very impressive, and just everything about their team

1392
01:08:52,960 --> 01:08:55,280
Speaker 1: right now is good. I like the guy that West

1393
01:08:55,320 --> 01:08:59,320
Speaker 1: pointed out before the season even started, Eddie Vanderdo's. I

1394
01:08:59,360 --> 01:09:02,160
Speaker 1: think he's there second best pass Rusher right now. There's

1395
01:09:02,200 --> 01:09:03,920
Speaker 1: a lot to like about this team, and even though

1396
01:09:03,960 --> 01:09:05,479
Speaker 1: they're on the road, I think they love being in

1397
01:09:05,520 --> 01:09:08,320
Speaker 1: the spotlight. They're a fun team and that's why I'm

1398
01:09:08,439 --> 01:09:14,479
Speaker 1: locking it up. Love when Greg's vocal goes next register

1399
01:09:14,600 --> 01:09:18,240
Speaker 1: like that, always up. Redskins are beat up from that

1400
01:09:18,240 --> 01:09:19,880
Speaker 1: game against the Rams too. That was a bit of

1401
01:09:19,880 --> 01:09:23,880
Speaker 1: a pyric victory um victory raf in a big spot.

1402
01:09:23,920 --> 01:09:28,040
Speaker 1: West is back, baby, there are no training wheels. He's back.

1403
01:09:28,800 --> 01:09:32,000
Speaker 1: Finally Monday Night Football, just because we you know, we

1404
01:09:32,040 --> 01:09:35,800
Speaker 1: had the Giants on Monday Night Football NFC East. We

1405
01:09:35,920 --> 01:09:38,439
Speaker 1: got the Redskins on Sunday Night Football, NFC East. But

1406
01:09:38,520 --> 01:09:40,720
Speaker 1: let's just get a little bit more NFC East than there.

1407
01:09:40,720 --> 01:09:44,519
Speaker 1: So the Cowboys now travel to face the Cardinals, who,

1408
01:09:44,720 --> 01:09:47,120
Speaker 1: not for nothing, used to be in the NFC East

1409
01:09:47,520 --> 01:09:51,080
Speaker 1: a thirty pm kickoff with Jake Ruden and uh, I

1410
01:09:51,080 --> 01:09:53,760
Speaker 1: don't know, Tony Kornheiser, who's there now? Come on, San

1411
01:09:54,200 --> 01:09:58,599
Speaker 1: Sean McDonough and Jay Gruden. Uh back on this season

1412
01:09:58,640 --> 01:10:02,360
Speaker 1: and Monday Night. He's been gone for seventeen years. If

1413
01:10:02,400 --> 01:10:05,360
Speaker 1: Will and Grays came back, come on, say guess who's back?

1414
01:10:05,640 --> 01:10:10,519
Speaker 1: Tony Kornheiser, and it's like, what you guys terrible? I

1415
01:10:10,640 --> 01:10:12,920
Speaker 1: rooted for him every week. It was like having another

1416
01:10:12,960 --> 01:10:16,240
Speaker 1: team to root for that kept losing. I wouldn't mind

1417
01:10:16,280 --> 01:10:19,639
Speaker 1: Dennis Miller back in the mix. Uh it was fun. Yeah,

1418
01:10:19,760 --> 01:10:23,479
Speaker 1: ramp Uh. So the Cowboys, Uh, you know got embarrassed,

1419
01:10:23,560 --> 01:10:25,120
Speaker 1: let's face it. So you think you're gonna show up

1420
01:10:25,120 --> 01:10:27,880
Speaker 1: angry and and kick some butt against the Cardinals who

1421
01:10:28,000 --> 01:10:31,200
Speaker 1: just barely survived against the Colts. I think that's what's

1422
01:10:31,200 --> 01:10:35,240
Speaker 1: gonna happen. West. Tell me why I'm wrong. Kicking for

1423
01:10:35,280 --> 01:10:37,519
Speaker 1: the Cowboys on Monday night. I think people are speaking

1424
01:10:37,520 --> 01:10:40,679
Speaker 1: of kicking. People are kicking dirt on Carson Palmer's grave

1425
01:10:40,760 --> 01:10:45,120
Speaker 1: way before it's happening here, and no one has this

1426
01:10:45,200 --> 01:10:47,559
Speaker 1: take right now. Well, I like, I'm on Twitter all

1427
01:10:47,640 --> 01:10:50,200
Speaker 1: day on Sunday seeing everybody say who's more washed up

1428
01:10:50,200 --> 01:10:55,360
Speaker 1: than Carson Palmer and Eli Manning? Yeah, I mean, if

1429
01:10:55,400 --> 01:10:58,679
Speaker 1: you watch Eli Manning, it's easy to see which one's

1430
01:10:58,720 --> 01:11:01,400
Speaker 1: washed up and which one's not. Palmer is stepping out

1431
01:11:01,400 --> 01:11:03,760
Speaker 1: of trouble. He doesn't move as well as he did

1432
01:11:03,760 --> 01:11:05,400
Speaker 1: two years ago when he was going for m v P,

1433
01:11:06,360 --> 01:11:10,120
Speaker 1: but he's stepping out of trouble, threading passes and and

1434
01:11:10,200 --> 01:11:12,360
Speaker 1: hitting some big passes with the game on the line.

1435
01:11:12,800 --> 01:11:15,320
Speaker 1: I think he looks fine. He's not what he was

1436
01:11:15,400 --> 01:11:20,120
Speaker 1: two fifteen, but Nick Larry Larry Fitzgerald is no longer

1437
01:11:20,120 --> 01:11:22,800
Speaker 1: a number one receiver. That's one of their problems. David

1438
01:11:22,880 --> 01:11:26,559
Speaker 1: Johnson's going Their offensive line isn't very good when you're

1439
01:11:26,560 --> 01:11:29,320
Speaker 1: when you're three guys you're relying on it. Fitzgerald, Chris Johnson,

1440
01:11:29,320 --> 01:11:32,439
Speaker 1: and Carson Palmer, three guys no longer in the prime

1441
01:11:32,439 --> 01:11:34,800
Speaker 1: of their career in a league full of bad offensive lines.

1442
01:11:34,840 --> 01:11:37,719
Speaker 1: We've talked about all show. They are ranked thirty fee

1443
01:11:38,160 --> 01:11:41,400
Speaker 1: in past protection so in by Pro Football Focus. So

1444
01:11:41,439 --> 01:11:43,720
Speaker 1: that's a that's a tough combination for a thirty eight

1445
01:11:43,800 --> 01:11:46,559
Speaker 1: year old Carson Palmer. And so I know what you're saying, Yeah,

1446
01:11:46,600 --> 01:11:49,160
Speaker 1: he's throwing some interceptions. A news flash, He's always thrown

1447
01:11:49,200 --> 01:11:51,320
Speaker 1: a lot of interceptions, and that can go up and

1448
01:11:51,360 --> 01:11:53,080
Speaker 1: down with a little bit of luck. Like he's always

1449
01:11:53,120 --> 01:11:54,880
Speaker 1: going to be aggressive. I'm not even saying he's played

1450
01:11:54,880 --> 01:11:57,040
Speaker 1: well the first Now, yeah, when you watch him, you

1451
01:11:57,040 --> 01:11:59,200
Speaker 1: can tell physically he's still got plenty in the tank.

1452
01:11:59,320 --> 01:12:02,240
Speaker 1: I think Mailman broke it down very well. That all right,

1453
01:12:02,280 --> 01:12:04,240
Speaker 1: maybe he's not washed up, but he's not as good

1454
01:12:04,280 --> 01:12:06,599
Speaker 1: as he used to be. And they're beat up. Their

1455
01:12:06,640 --> 01:12:08,599
Speaker 1: best players got They're just not good enough. They're not

1456
01:12:08,720 --> 01:12:11,519
Speaker 1: a great team. And I think it all depends on

1457
01:12:11,560 --> 01:12:14,080
Speaker 1: what you think about the Cowboys. Me. I think this

1458
01:12:14,200 --> 01:12:17,080
Speaker 1: matchup because if they really are still an excellent team

1459
01:12:17,080 --> 01:12:19,920
Speaker 1: like they were last year, coming off that type of loss,

1460
01:12:20,000 --> 01:12:22,400
Speaker 1: usually good teams, you know, how the like how the

1461
01:12:22,400 --> 01:12:25,639
Speaker 1: Patriots did in New Orleans, they'll bounce back with furious

1462
01:12:25,680 --> 01:12:27,559
Speaker 1: anger and we'll see it. We'll tell me a lot

1463
01:12:27,560 --> 01:12:28,920
Speaker 1: about the Cowboys. Put it this this way, I'll tell me

1464
01:12:28,920 --> 01:12:31,040
Speaker 1: a lot about the Cowboys. If they struggle and even lose,

1465
01:12:31,080 --> 01:12:32,320
Speaker 1: this game will and I don't know if it will

1466
01:12:32,360 --> 01:12:34,280
Speaker 1: happen this week, but I want to see if teams

1467
01:12:34,560 --> 01:12:37,840
Speaker 1: try to mimic what Denver did against the Cowboys, if

1468
01:12:37,840 --> 01:12:41,920
Speaker 1: you really try to completely remove Ezekie Elliott from the

1469
01:12:41,960 --> 01:12:44,280
Speaker 1: game plan, I don't think that's sustainable as a defensive

1470
01:12:44,320 --> 01:12:46,560
Speaker 1: game plan week after week. I do think Dallas is

1471
01:12:46,600 --> 01:12:49,599
Speaker 1: going to is gonna come back here and bounce back

1472
01:12:49,640 --> 01:12:53,759
Speaker 1: big time. But that was that game. Watching what happened cars.

1473
01:12:54,479 --> 01:12:57,160
Speaker 1: It is a good Cardinals huns, but that Cowboys game

1474
01:12:57,240 --> 01:12:59,040
Speaker 1: last week was one of them more concerning things I've

1475
01:12:59,040 --> 01:13:01,120
Speaker 1: seen all season. Well, one of the one of the

1476
01:13:01,120 --> 01:13:03,400
Speaker 1: things I think has gotten lost is the Cowboys have

1477
01:13:03,479 --> 01:13:07,439
Speaker 1: come into this season choosing to minimize Ezekiel Ellie in

1478
01:13:07,479 --> 01:13:09,200
Speaker 1: these first two weeks in terms of their game plan.

1479
01:13:09,360 --> 01:13:11,559
Speaker 1: They were ahead the entire Week one, and they threw

1480
01:13:11,600 --> 01:13:13,920
Speaker 1: the ball thirty nine times and I think ran in

1481
01:13:13,960 --> 01:13:17,559
Speaker 1: about eighteen times. They started last week's game really throwing

1482
01:13:17,600 --> 01:13:20,599
Speaker 1: the ball out to wide receiver sets, and and it hasn't.

1483
01:13:20,760 --> 01:13:22,599
Speaker 1: It hasn't worked out now they could have. I don't

1484
01:13:22,600 --> 01:13:24,720
Speaker 1: know what the reasons are for that. You know, there

1485
01:13:24,720 --> 01:13:27,200
Speaker 1: were reports Zekiel Elliott showed up to his rookie training

1486
01:13:27,240 --> 01:13:30,000
Speaker 1: camp considerably out of shape. I don't know, like he

1487
01:13:30,080 --> 01:13:32,120
Speaker 1: definitely looked a little tired late in Week one. He

1488
01:13:32,160 --> 01:13:34,760
Speaker 1: also looked like he has the best instincts of just

1489
01:13:34,800 --> 01:13:36,759
Speaker 1: about any running back out there, So I'm not saying

1490
01:13:37,000 --> 01:13:38,840
Speaker 1: he's in trouble. I don't know what their reasons are,

1491
01:13:38,840 --> 01:13:41,120
Speaker 1: but they've come out kind of as a past first team,

1492
01:13:41,120 --> 01:13:42,519
Speaker 1: which is a little sup I mean, to your point,

1493
01:13:42,520 --> 01:13:44,800
Speaker 1: they running the ball thirty two point eight percent, which is, like,

1494
01:13:45,200 --> 01:13:47,840
Speaker 1: you know, down seventent from last year. I expect to

1495
01:13:47,880 --> 01:13:51,439
Speaker 1: hear a lot of like, is Dez not washed? But

1496
01:13:51,560 --> 01:13:54,599
Speaker 1: he's struggled a little bit, and he's had impossible matchups

1497
01:13:54,640 --> 01:13:57,000
Speaker 1: to start the year, basically facing three of the best

1498
01:13:57,040 --> 01:13:59,120
Speaker 1: cornerbacks in the league back to back to back. Well,

1499
01:13:59,200 --> 01:14:01,720
Speaker 1: give Dan credit for this. You know, sometimes Dan come up,

1500
01:14:01,800 --> 01:14:03,800
Speaker 1: comes up with theories where I'm because he just throwing

1501
01:14:03,880 --> 01:14:06,680
Speaker 1: darts against the walls. Yeah. The Dez Bryant thing, You've

1502
01:14:06,720 --> 01:14:08,680
Speaker 1: been saying for a while that it's no sure thing

1503
01:14:08,720 --> 01:14:11,559
Speaker 1: that he ever gets back to being a dominant number

1504
01:14:11,600 --> 01:14:13,840
Speaker 1: one receiver, And for the last two years he hasn't

1505
01:14:13,840 --> 01:14:16,320
Speaker 1: been on the last time he's been throw up the X.

1506
01:14:17,160 --> 01:14:19,120
Speaker 1: I'm in your face. You can't do anything about it.

1507
01:14:19,160 --> 01:14:21,240
Speaker 1: Does It's been a little bit now a couple of years.

1508
01:14:21,439 --> 01:14:23,720
Speaker 1: They don't even look to him, like when they need

1509
01:14:23,720 --> 01:14:28,479
Speaker 1: a first down. It's winning in Beasley, all right, Yeah,

1510
01:14:28,520 --> 01:14:31,040
Speaker 1: sometimes the throw darts. Hey, listen, you'll do something going

1511
01:14:31,120 --> 01:14:33,280
Speaker 1: to that game, by the way, Cardinals, You'll throw darts

1512
01:14:33,320 --> 01:14:37,120
