1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:08,160
Speaker 1: The Around the NFL podcast Ready to start to take commands. Yeah,

2
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:12,160
Speaker 1: we are from the Chris Wesley podcast studio. It's Around

3
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:17,760
Speaker 1: the NFL. I'm Dan Hansas, joined by heroes Greg Rosenthal

4
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:24,759
Speaker 1: Mark Sessler. It is the Week six preview and Greg,

5
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:27,040
Speaker 1: you're not gonna believe it, I'm about to tell you.

6
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 1: But man, it goes fast, it keeps moving. We're on

7
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 1: the wheel. I really enjoy um that. You know, I'm

8
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:39,879
Speaker 1: ready to go ahead and uh maybe take command. But like,

9
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:42,519
Speaker 1: I think we've maybe hit that drop harder and my

10
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 1: enjoyment has been higher with that drop um compared to

11
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 1: what the listeners actually like than almost any drop. The

12
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 1: listeners are really on board with this, but I enjoyed.

13
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 1: So why would you claim to know what are coming

14
00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 1: from it? I don't here. It's also it's interesting. It's

15
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 1: interesting to me that sometimes you'll hear the listeners be like, oh,

16
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 1: we like this or we don't like this, and it

17
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 1: is important and I say this with all due respect,

18
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 1: Sometimes listeners and viewers don't care if I like it

19
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 1: or we like it, and that's good for the show.

20
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 1: Would you rank our apathy toward the listener between the

21
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 1: three of us in terms of their opinions of show

22
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 1: to show dynamics and machinations. Who would be the most

23
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 1: interested probably, I mean the least interested would be Greg.

24
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 1: Ever in the middle, Yeah, I would say it's probably

25
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 1: closer to you than Greg. But I'm interested. But where

26
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 1: I'm coming from is what you just said, that our

27
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 1: instincts of what we enjoy has served us well and

28
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:44,320
Speaker 1: that you gotta trust a little bit of a nabel

29
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,040
Speaker 1: gazing start to today's program. Yeah, sorry about that. All right, Well,

30
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 1: let's preview and more analysis to that. But I someone

31
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 1: agree with where you're coming and I have something to share. Uh.

32
00:01:53,920 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 1: Thirty two teams four teams on by Lions, Raiders Texans

33
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 1: means eight teams divided by two four team games. We

34
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 1: already previewed Thursday Night Football, so minus one equals team

35
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 1: games to talk about. First bye week, Kick up the feet,

36
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 1: we're chilling. It's nice, it's nice. A few different Uh yeah,

37
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:25,080
Speaker 1: you know, a few less games means more eyes on

38
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 1: Sunday and beyond. But before we get to all the

39
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 1: early and afternoon games, let's start as we always do

40
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 1: with the prime time affairs and oh Man, Sunday Night

41
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 1: Football Banger alert. How many years on this podcast have

42
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 1: we complained about the NFC East getting undue love in

43
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 1: prime time? And we were right many of those years.

44
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 1: It hasn't always been so hot in the NFC East

45
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 1: during the A T N A t N era two

46
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 1: thousand thirteen to present more naval gazing. But now, but now,

47
00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: the NFC East is hot. A five and oh team

48
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 1: to four and one teams, and the team, ironically, the

49
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 1: team that was ready to take command has not taken command.

50
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 1: Here are the two teams at the top. Giants are

51
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:11,920
Speaker 1: in the mix, also the five and oh Eagles the

52
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: four and one Cowboys. I think what I meant to

53
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 1: say there is these are what I think people believe

54
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 1: to be the two best teams in this division. The

55
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 1: Cowboys already beat the Giants in New York or New

56
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 1: Jersey's I should say, But now they get the Eagles

57
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 1: a chance to knock off the final undefeated team in

58
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 1: the league, Mark and the Eagles. I'll start the conversation

59
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 1: this way. All the credit in the world, because every

60
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: they've checked the box on every type of win to

61
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 1: start the season. But the last two weeks I start

62
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 1: to feel like maybe this team is about due now

63
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: for that first l So I'll start the conversation thus,

64
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 1: lean throw to you. I guess you're pointing to the

65
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 1: Cowboys defense as a unit that somehow, you know, can

66
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 1: dominate the Eagles on offense. I don't know if that's

67
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 1: gonna be so easy to say. Not exactly what I

68
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 1: was saying, Okay, what I meant was the last two

69
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 1: wins against Jacksonville and against Arizona were not the dominating

70
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 1: efforts that we've seen, and it just feels like where

71
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 1: the Eagles are right now, it would not stun me

72
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 1: if this was the week against the Cowboys team that's

73
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 1: playing very well. But it tells me, though, is that

74
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 1: the Eagles offense is versatile because one of the one

75
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 1: of the games you're pointing to, they ran the ball

76
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 1: for two hundred plus yards last week. There was very

77
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 1: few explosive plays against the Cardinals, was a lot of

78
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 1: screen heavy short passing. Um, they got those two early

79
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: drives where they punched in with Jalen Hurts is one

80
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 1: of the best short runners there is right now. I mean,

81
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,599
Speaker 1: it's totally money in the bank. I think their quarterback

82
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 1: makes them highly versatile. I think the way that they

83
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 1: can attack in some games with their explosive wide receivers

84
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 1: makes them that way, and they have a ground game.

85
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 1: And I actually think this offensive line. You know the

86
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:52,039
Speaker 1: Cowboys defense with Michael Parsons and friends. They have played

87
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 1: the Bengals, the Giants, the Commanders, the Rams. These are

88
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 1: teams with offensive line issues, some of the biggest. That's

89
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 1: the eased with the Eagles. The Eagles line may have

90
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:04,280
Speaker 1: a may have a chance to not let doubt. If

91
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 1: you can take Dallas's defense and knock it down a peg,

92
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:08,840
Speaker 1: then it's on their offense with Cooper Rush to make

93
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 1: up for whatever the Eagles do. I don't love it

94
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:15,599
Speaker 1: for Dallas much since since we last tape we found

95
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 1: out Cooper Rush will start this game. Dak Prescott not

96
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,559
Speaker 1: close enough to even uh find out during the week

97
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:24,600
Speaker 1: whether he's gonna play or not. I didn't want to

98
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 1: come back for this game. He needs that. Why it's

99
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 1: so big though, I mean, I because there's gonna be

100
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 1: some rust, I would imagine, and you don't want to

101
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 1: take them rushing back a week early if you're not

102
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 1: certain physically right, Yeah, that's totally fair. But if they

103
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 1: felt like he was ready to go, this game is huge.

104
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,839
Speaker 1: It reminds me of some of the forty Niners Rams

105
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 1: games over the last few years in that I think

106
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 1: the winner of this division is one of the favorites

107
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 1: to go to the super Bowl because I think with

108
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 1: their schedule they're gonna have a good chance at the

109
00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 1: one seed. I think these are two of the top

110
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 1: three or four super Bowl contenders in the NFC. Anyways,

111
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 1: I'm putting Dallas there. Danny's got them down at tenna

112
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 1: in the power rank and I'm surprised about that to me, though,

113
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,159
Speaker 1: I I see some teams ahead of them. They're a

114
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 1: top six or seven team, and that's what their backup

115
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 1: quarterback who's not playing amazing, but it's getting it done.

116
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 1: But to Mark's point, this is a test Parsons, Lawrence

117
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 1: and in Dorance Armstrong and Digie Zoo. That's been the

118
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 1: best defensive line in the league so far and now

119
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 1: you play an Eagles defensive offensive line that is fantastic.

120
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,719
Speaker 1: So can they dominate or can the Eagles just run

121
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 1: straight at these guys who are probably better as pass

122
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 1: rushers have been playing with the lead? Uh? Either way,

123
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 1: it's a big test for this four or five So

124
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 1: I'll throw Dote Fowler in there. He was making some

125
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 1: noise last week like they they look really good up

126
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 1: front and it's a great test when the Eagles have

127
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,159
Speaker 1: the ball. Here's my one My one doubt with the

128
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,600
Speaker 1: Cowboys and why they're not higher. They're not ahead of

129
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:52,720
Speaker 1: the Packers, say who I dropped down to eight, but

130
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 1: you can make the case they should be at least

131
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:58,160
Speaker 1: in the top eight. The Cowboys um Cooper Rush has

132
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:01,480
Speaker 1: done his job. He has six touchdown passes in five games,

133
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,279
Speaker 1: and that just speaks to they have been able to

134
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 1: play a very extremely controlled brand of football where the

135
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 1: defense is setting the tone and the offense is able

136
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 1: to just do enough to get these ws and the quarterback,

137
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 1: to his credit, a backup with no experience really heading

138
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 1: into the season, has not killed them with turnovers. My concern,

139
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 1: I would say, now I said the Eagles feel like

140
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 1: maybe they're due for a loss. My concern is Philadelphia

141
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 1: is an explosive offense. What happens if it's fourteen three

142
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 1: in the first quarter and you now, all of a

143
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 1: sudden it's like, hey, Cooper, we need you to throw

144
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 1: the ball thirty four times. I don't think that ends well,

145
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 1: I don't think they're a complete team. I think they

146
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 1: can get to that spot if Doc comes back healthy,

147
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 1: but I think Rush keeps them from being like an

148
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 1: elite team in my mind at this point. I mean,

149
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 1: the Cowboys lead to league in rush rate at this point.

150
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 1: They want to run the ball to here. To your point,

151
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 1: they don't want Cooper Rush throwing the thing fourteen times

152
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 1: a quarter. It's the opposite of what they've done. I

153
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 1: mean that said, if Cooper Rush ever pulled this off,

154
00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 1: I don't care what it looks like complexion wise, You

155
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 1: buy them a actually a house bigger than the one

156
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 1: Troy Aikman has on the outskirts of Dallas, because I

157
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 1: don't really care about how prolific he's been that how

158
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 1: contracts work. You just can buy house and just asking

159
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 1: them to give him that piece of property, because you

160
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 1: couldn't have asked a backup quarterback who looked terrible against

161
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 1: the Bucks and that opener you thought they're doomed to

162
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 1: be where they are is about that, But it's because

163
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 1: they also have been able to run the ball with

164
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 1: Tony Pollard, who should see more and more. He also

165
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 1: should have been picked off a couple of times. Last

166
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 1: week Cooper Rush the matchup, and you're right, he deserves

167
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 1: a race. He's making one million dollars this year. Was

168
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 1: on the practice squad one week cut right. Uh, they

169
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 1: have one matchups enough on the outside with their receivers

170
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 1: in Ceedee Lamb. But Dalton Salts is a little banged

171
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 1: up like Noah Brown sometimes pops up. Gallop isn't like

172
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:48,679
Speaker 1: all the way back. And they're going up against Bradberry

173
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 1: and Slay big Place. Slay gets all the attention. He's

174
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 1: coming off an injury, didn't look quite himself last week,

175
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 1: and so I'm curious to see that matchup. Maybe they'll

176
00:08:56,760 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 1: attack him. But James Bradberry's been awesome. I he might

177
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 1: be the Pro bowler of those two guys. Maybe they're

178
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 1: both Pro bowlers. So they're on paper the Eagles always

179
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 1: look amazing, but it's football. And to your point, like

180
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 1: the Cardinals, who we've gotten on for being a mess,

181
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 1: we're right there with them. Last Cardinals, like how to

182
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 1: find a way for that game not to go to overtime.

183
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 1: I have to I have too much respect for the

184
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 1: Cowboys right now to lock up the Eagles, which was

185
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 1: a strong consideration and they're they're barely in the lock zone. Amazingly,

186
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:25,080
Speaker 1: that's how big of a favorite they are in this game.

187
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 1: But this I think dan Quinn can mix up what

188
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:35,440
Speaker 1: he does on defense so well right now. And Jalen

189
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 1: Hurts here's one thing he hasn't done well this year

190
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 1: is still not doing great against the Blitz. His numbers

191
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 1: have gone way down against the Blitz in general. You

192
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 1: mentioned the idea of Cooper Rush throwing fourteen times a quarter.

193
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:50,679
Speaker 1: That would be a lot fifty. Oh sorry, I didn't

194
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 1: know it was a bit coming. Sorry, just one moment, Greg,

195
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 1: just just just for a second, give me twelve seconds.

196
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 1: I couldn't get it. That would been really the cherry

197
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 1: on top of my math Sunday, Mr Calculator would have

198
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:12,680
Speaker 1: been coming. Let's move to Monday night football Broncos at Chargers.

199
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 1: Oh my god? Are you are? We? Are we serious?

200
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,840
Speaker 1: This has to be the end for the primetime serious

201
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:24,080
Speaker 1: Park Avenue. What evidence did we have to be so

202
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 1: certain about the Denver Bronco It made sense? No, no, no, no,

203
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson. It's like the big new star in the

204
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 1: in the new place. What even likes Russell Wilson it's

205
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,439
Speaker 1: week six. How many times they've been in primetime? At

206
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 1: least three? Has it been four? Mr? Five out of

207
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 1: six game? Is that possible? That can't be worse because

208
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 1: they're in reverse primetime. There Island game a couple of

209
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 1: weeks from now, and then they still have a Sunday

210
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:54,680
Speaker 1: night game. Greg, it's four out of six. That is wild.

211
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 1: Four out of six is crazy for a team. This

212
00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 1: is not the Cowboys here, and I, like many other people,

213
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 1: thought that Brons would be way better than they are.

214
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 1: But to go that all in in the first six weeks,

215
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 1: like we're talking about Michael Irvine, Troy Aikman and Emmitt Smith.

216
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 1: Here's the thing the defense has been. That's translated to

217
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 1: that's fine, but been unwatchable. Greg, can can just take

218
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:25,960
Speaker 1: a break with that? Just mean it makes sense? This

219
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:29,559
Speaker 1: is brutal. Totally made sense to me on paper. Then again,

220
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 1: I am the one. I've got to uh go get

221
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:34,680
Speaker 1: my lunch that the Broncos will miss the playoffs and

222
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 1: there will be a sourced report of differences between Russell

223
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 1: Wilson and I'm feeling good about that right here. I

224
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 1: think I think every I think everything must go in

225
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 1: Denver except for Russell Wilson potentially if this keeps up,

226
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 1: so there is a little bit of intrigue, there's car

227
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 1: crash intrigue to the Broncos. But so if that was

228
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 1: the case, I would be like, all right, let's let's

229
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 1: keep watching them on in these island games. But they

230
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 1: just don't step up in these island games. And the

231
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 1: big reason they don't step up, it's not just because

232
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 1: the vibes are bad, although I don't sense they're great.

233
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 1: With the Broncos in terms of what's going on with

234
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 1: the locker room and with russ Um, the offense just

235
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 1: seems broken. And I don't want to dwell too much

236
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 1: longer on Um the way the Indianapolis game ended, because

237
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 1: it was a while ago now, but I just thought

238
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:19,840
Speaker 1: it was so fitting with the game on the line,

239
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 1: from the five yard line or whatever, He's in shotgun

240
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,440
Speaker 1: with no motion, no anything, and it was just like

241
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 1: everybody run their routes and it was just like, there's

242
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,680
Speaker 1: no imagination to this offense to me, and you see

243
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,560
Speaker 1: how other teams run their attacks, and it's like, man,

244
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 1: where is the juice to this offense. That's why Hacket

245
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:38,680
Speaker 1: got the guys the guy was open. Guys would have

246
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 1: been opened the whole season and doesn't see it. That's

247
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 1: the part of it that is on Russell Wilson because

248
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 1: it's kind of like a chicken or the egg. Thing

249
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:46,560
Speaker 1: for me is that the offense is at Russell Wilson.

250
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 1: It's a little bit of everything. It's a perfect storm

251
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 1: of a team that even before even before like the

252
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:56,440
Speaker 1: play begins, they lead the league in pre snap penalties.

253
00:12:56,920 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 1: They have thirteen drops in five games, which is outrageous.

254
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,680
Speaker 1: At this point, Russell Wilson's not seeing the field. It's

255
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:04,680
Speaker 1: it appears to me he's got a banged up shoulder.

256
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 1: We're at the point now where Nathaniel Hackett has basically

257
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:09,960
Speaker 1: announced we're gonna you know, one of his one of

258
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 1: his calling cards was the Nathaniel Hackett offense, which has

259
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:15,720
Speaker 1: just grown and grown and grown with all his experiences stops.

260
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 1: Was this vast territory and range where you could pick

261
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 1: everything you wanted to to perfectly customize it around Russell Wilson.

262
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 1: The opposite has happening, and Nathaniel Hackett this week basically

263
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 1: said we're gonna take that playbook and scale it down,

264
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:32,320
Speaker 1: which is about the opposite, we should keep tracking. And

265
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 1: there tells me like, if you're gonna put them on

266
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 1: multiple primetime games, you're thinking the opposite is happening. You're

267
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:39,439
Speaker 1: thinking you're getting Payton Manning Part two and Denver and

268
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 1: you're getting Peyton Manning Part zero. And with with Russ

269
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 1: it kind of went under the radar a little bit here. Um,

270
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 1: but he got an injection in his shoulder on Friday morning.

271
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 1: Like there's a headline at NFL dot com and Friday

272
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:56,680
Speaker 1: morning that Russell Wilson undergoes a procedure on shoulder that

273
00:13:56,840 --> 00:14:00,079
Speaker 1: is not good for a quarterback. And his career ran

274
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:05,439
Speaker 1: all the worst ever and completion percentage, touchdown percentage, passer rating. Um.

275
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 1: So he's at the he's at the lowest point of

276
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 1: his career production wise. So you would think here's the thing.

277
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 1: You can only go up from here, right, And the

278
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 1: Chargers present an opportunity, hypothetically, a team that is missing

279
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 1: Joey Bosa, a team that has not been Um. They

280
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 1: just came off a game they very nearly lost to

281
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 1: the Browns, gave up twenty eight points. Uh So Denver

282
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 1: scored some points because I think they should be able

283
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 1: to against his defense, right, I think so? Uh, Mark,

284
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 1: I you remembered, Uh, we did have a PRP bit

285
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 1: going seven years ago. I don't think there was. I

286
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 1: don't think that got caps. So maybe by PRP bas

287
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 1: to keep track of how many people are getting the

288
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 1: PRP uh surgery. If this is their fourth five primetime game, though, Dan,

289
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 1: there is a maximum of five, and I do feel

290
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 1: bad about taking away your math Sunday. That was a

291
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 1: bad hosting. Okay, we've moved past. Okay, but if there's

292
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 1: five maximum and this is their fourth how many primetime

293
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,359
Speaker 1: games can they have left? Don't jump to an answer. No,

294
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 1: think they have twelve opportunities, right, Uh. They Although it's

295
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 1: kind of tricky because I be sure about that. By

296
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 1: the way, so it's tricky. You can be assigned, you

297
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 1: can be as signed five, but then you can get

298
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 1: an extra six on Sunday night or when they have

299
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 1: those flexible Saturdays later. That feels like a less possibility

300
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 1: of the way they're playing right now. You can get

301
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 1: into it. You can get as six added. You're right

302
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 1: about this being a good matchup. I don't think they

303
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 1: can stay this bad all year because I think they're

304
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 1: too talented he's actually been protected well enough, although yeah,

305
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 1: Garrett Bols is hurt now. The Chargers defense has issues

306
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 1: last three weeks, right back to being terrible at run defense.

307
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 1: J C. Jackson has been a huge problem. Came back

308
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:57,239
Speaker 1: from his injury getting cooked weekly. Probably the most disappointing

309
00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 1: free agent signing of the off scene so far. There's

310
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 1: no reason why it should stay that way. Uh. They

311
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 1: have a first round pick from a couple of years ago,

312
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 1: Kenneth Murray really struggling. They benched the seer at early,

313
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 1: who was their starting safety, who had gotten some buzz

314
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 1: in the off scene. So they're kind of springing holes here.

315
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 1: There's not much of a pass rush other than Cleo mac.

316
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 1: I still like Justin Herbert in this game. But they're

317
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 1: huge favorites. They're five or six points favorites, and that

318
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 1: seems too rich for this Chargers team right now, who's

319
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 1: not very explosive on offense either. They're very stationed the

320
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 1: station they have gotten the running game going. Do you think, well,

321
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 1: do you think that running game getting going had a

322
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 1: lot to do with Cleveland's defense week ago? I'm not

323
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 1: sure that happened started a little bit the week before too.

324
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 1: Where Eckler got it going a little, and they like

325
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 1: Josh Kelly, so I'd still take him in this game,

326
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 1: but I wouldn't surprise me if Rust pulls us up.

327
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 1: It's so far Harry Hans, this is you know, he's

328
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 1: on like a Jets Chargers torn thing. Try to get

329
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 1: in that building. It would be nice. Okay, you guys,

330
00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 1: why don't you come over after and we can do

331
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 1: the Monday Night recap together there here? How about that? Actually,

332
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:05,199
Speaker 1: I have an idea. I'm gonna I'm gonna go to

333
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 1: this game, but I'm also gonna I'm gonna knock up

334
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:11,159
Speaker 1: the Chargers right now. Good for you, Good luck in

335
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:15,400
Speaker 1: my protest of this Broncos being on primetime TV a year,

336
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:20,399
Speaker 1: it's outrageous the traffic flow situation around our facility. So plus,

337
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 1: my son would love to see what the studios like.

338
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 1: So I would absolutely join you for that MNF recap

339
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:28,239
Speaker 1: if I can get tickets. Just then, we're working out

340
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:31,679
Speaker 1: a big time booking for Monday Night. Get get and

341
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 1: Harry hands all right, let's take a break. We'll be

342
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 1: right back. All right, here we go. It is time

343
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 1: now for the draft and Mark Sessler, I'll tell you what,

344
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 1: remember before the season started when you were like a

345
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 1: little bit perturbed because I said, all right, I'll pick

346
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:51,680
Speaker 1: first because I'm the defending champion. Then I said, Greg

347
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:55,440
Speaker 1: will pick second and you pick third, and you rightly said, oh,

348
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 1: you know I should have been picking second because I

349
00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:00,359
Speaker 1: was the runner up. Was that was a sharpened justice

350
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 1: and was there was no way to you can do

351
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 1: could do it over who is the last person to

352
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 1: win the championship. And then I would be thinking not

353
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 1: counting me because the trophy sitting on a big marble,

354
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 1: everything that's coming from there with a light coming down

355
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:19,879
Speaker 1: upon the trophy. But I was playing chess with this

356
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 1: one for you, buddy, because that this has now lined

357
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:25,359
Speaker 1: you up for Week six, where a you have the

358
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 1: number one pick for maybe the game of the year,

359
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 1: and be the way the draft falls with the buy teams,

360
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:34,120
Speaker 1: you only have to draft three games. So that is nice.

361
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:37,879
Speaker 1: So six weeks later I get my reward based on

362
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 1: you planning that, pre planning that back in August. I

363
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:43,920
Speaker 1: think given the choice, he would definitely so it doesn't

364
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:46,480
Speaker 1: make sense, no doubt, no doubt, given the choice, he

365
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 1: would favor you. Interesting, Um, let's thank you Paul Rudd. Alright,

366
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 1: and with the number one pick, it's obvious. Do I

367
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 1: even need to say it? Jaguars at Culton. Now we're

368
00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:02,360
Speaker 1: gonna go Bills a Chiefs, And how lucky we are

369
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 1: that we don't have a Broncos situation with one of

370
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 1: these two teams. They're exactly where we wanted them to be.

371
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:10,960
Speaker 1: I cannot believe that the Chiefs are sizeable underdogs at

372
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:14,640
Speaker 1: home Patrick Mahomes, as I thought it was two points.

373
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:18,880
Speaker 1: They're underdogs at all bothers me, Patrick Mahomes has never

374
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 1: lost in that situation. If you're the Bills, though, obviously

375
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 1: you're steamed about what happened a year ago, but I

376
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:29,160
Speaker 1: would say this, that has nothing to do with this game.

377
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 1: In my opinion, you went out and made a difference.

378
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:34,119
Speaker 1: You signed Von Miller. This game, to me revolves around

379
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 1: the idea that you have a defense that is a

380
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,119
Speaker 1: difference making defense in the a f C, A super

381
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 1: Bowl level defense. That they're been injuries, it hasn't seemed

382
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 1: to matter. And I love the idea that you've got

383
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 1: Von Miller. Boogie Basham, Greg Russo. We saw what they

384
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:49,880
Speaker 1: did against the Rams in Week one. This is your

385
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:53,359
Speaker 1: chance to disrupt Patrick Mahomes who was not disrupted on

386
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:56,160
Speaker 1: that final drive a year ago, who was not disrupted

387
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:58,119
Speaker 1: in that game to begin with. And if you can

388
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:00,919
Speaker 1: get the defense and create havoc to some degree against

389
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, because it's not easy, but if you can

390
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 1: even unsettle them for one extra drive, that could be

391
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 1: the difference in this because I think the offense with

392
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:10,680
Speaker 1: Josh Allen will absolutely show up against the Chiefs team

393
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:13,200
Speaker 1: a defense right now that I think ken be toyed

394
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:15,080
Speaker 1: with to some degree when the Bills are on. We

395
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 1: saw what Gabe Davis did a year ago in that game.

396
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:19,960
Speaker 1: He was on fire, and we got that version of

397
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:22,440
Speaker 1: him a week ago, and so why can't that translate

398
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:24,720
Speaker 1: again with the best receiving group in the a f C.

399
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:28,359
Speaker 1: I want to cycle back quickly here to the last

400
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:31,119
Speaker 1: time these two teams played in the divisional playoffs, and

401
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:34,720
Speaker 1: Pints scored in the final two minutes of that game.

402
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:38,560
Speaker 1: I would I will nominate that for maybe the most

403
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:42,280
Speaker 1: thrilling two minutes of football that I've ever watched, given

404
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 1: the stakes and the stars involved, and um just how

405
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:50,120
Speaker 1: kind of thrilling it was to watch that game. So

406
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 1: it's amazing. We're getting these two teams playing. Uh, I like,

407
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 1: I actually like it that it's in the late afternoon windows,

408
00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 1: so I'm assuming unless there's another injustice here that Tony

409
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 1: romo Um and Jim Nancer on the call. Uh So,

410
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 1: it doesn't get more fun than that. And here's my here,

411
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:09,919
Speaker 1: this is where I'm conflicted. So I have the Bills

412
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 1: number one of the power rankings. I think they're the best,

413
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 1: most complete team playing at an elite level. Obviously, they

414
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:17,439
Speaker 1: have one loss, and even that one was a little

415
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:20,520
Speaker 1: you know, down in Miami and the swamp and the

416
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:23,160
Speaker 1: humidity and all the randomness the way the game played

417
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:25,879
Speaker 1: out in the end. Otherwise they've just been a dominant,

418
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:31,120
Speaker 1: wonderful team. And yet do I ever want to pick

419
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 1: against Patrick Mahomes. I do not. It's a total coin

420
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:36,200
Speaker 1: flip for me. I love that they also cleared out

421
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 1: the other four o'clock games, so there's two at four

422
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 1: oh five, But this is the only four. This should

423
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 1: be like the most watched game of the entire season.

424
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:48,120
Speaker 1: And if I'm a chief stand I'm a little annoyed

425
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 1: that all these Bills injuries seem to have cleared up,

426
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 1: like just in time to play the Chiefs. Uh, Mitch

427
00:21:55,880 --> 00:22:00,959
Speaker 1: Morris's back, Ed Oliver's back, Mackenzie's back. I think Dawson

428
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:05,080
Speaker 1: Knox is gonna be back. These are all limited participants

429
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 1: in practice on Wednesday, but usually that means you're gonna play.

430
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 1: Jordan Poyer, who missed last week's game, is back, and

431
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:14,720
Speaker 1: I think that's kind of where this defense starts. Yes,

432
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:17,920
Speaker 1: the pass rush has been amazing, but this Week five

433
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 1: game a year ago, where the Bills dropped the hammer

434
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:24,399
Speaker 1: on the Chiefs and everyone started panicking about the Chief's

435
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:27,720
Speaker 1: offense was in all the two high shell looks and

436
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:30,159
Speaker 1: everyone's just backing up and making Mahomes like work his

437
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:32,359
Speaker 1: way down the field. That to be That started with

438
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 1: the Bills more than anyone, and they are built to

439
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 1: execute that game plan and built to get after him quickly.

440
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:43,119
Speaker 1: The Chiefs are a better run blocking offensive line than

441
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:45,119
Speaker 1: they are pass blocking. They're pretty good at both, but

442
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 1: they're they're on paper and elite run blocking offensive line.

443
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:52,439
Speaker 1: And I do think if you're gonna get after this

444
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 1: Bill's defense and they don't really have any major weaknesses,

445
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:57,400
Speaker 1: that's probably the way to do it. So I want

446
00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:00,200
Speaker 1: to see if Andy Reid has a little patient. It's

447
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:02,359
Speaker 1: like Jerick McKinnon helped change that game for them a

448
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:04,879
Speaker 1: week ago. Edwards Hilaire has had some nice games, but

449
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,840
Speaker 1: Checkos had some moments. I think it's weird to say

450
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:09,800
Speaker 1: for the Chiefs, but I feel like the Chiefs need

451
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 1: to slow this game down slightly, uh and not get

452
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 1: into some like forty five to forty four shootout. If

453
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:18,160
Speaker 1: you feel like the Bills are better off that way,

454
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:21,440
Speaker 1: I could see them going after Cayer lamb uh that said,

455
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 1: Like I'm with you, I mean, if you look at

456
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:26,359
Speaker 1: the Chiefs offense, it is methodical. It has been long

457
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 1: drives and they found different ways obviously this season, not

458
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:32,960
Speaker 1: so much wide receiver centric, but throwing two tight ends,

459
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,920
Speaker 1: throwing two running backs. And I think Mahomes looks pretty

460
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 1: comfortable in it all. And like, you know, if it

461
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 1: takes a month to kind of figure out who you are,

462
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 1: what your identity is, the Chiefs are there. I mean,

463
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:44,960
Speaker 1: I think they were probably frustrated by that Raiders game.

464
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:47,320
Speaker 1: I know it wound up in their favor and everything,

465
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 1: but that was one where I think they were tested

466
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:51,400
Speaker 1: early on and they found their way out of that whole.

467
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:55,119
Speaker 1: Both of these quarterbacks have overcome seventeen point deficits this season,

468
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 1: so if someone gets Haywire early, I trust these offenses

469
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:00,240
Speaker 1: to work the way out of it. Yeah, seventy point

470
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 1: leads aren't what they used to be, but especially when

471
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:06,640
Speaker 1: you're facing quarterbacks at this level, and you know, let's

472
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 1: pick this game before we move on. I don't know.

473
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:12,720
Speaker 1: I think this is absolutely total up for grabs pick.

474
00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:15,640
Speaker 1: I do like the revenge factor a little bit here

475
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 1: for um for the Bills, because that is one of

476
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:22,120
Speaker 1: the more painful defeats you will ever see in the playoffs,

477
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:25,639
Speaker 1: the way things ended on that same field, And I

478
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:28,520
Speaker 1: think they're gonna be so focused and fired up, and

479
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 1: Josh Allen is going to go off that even the

480
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:34,760
Speaker 1: great Mahomes. And now I even say this, I said,

481
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:37,399
Speaker 1: never pet against Patrick Mahomes prime time, but here you're

482
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:41,879
Speaker 1: you're but it's not prime time. It's so let me

483
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 1: say I got the Bills in another great game one

484
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:49,200
Speaker 1: I took the Chiefs. This was one of the picks

485
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:51,679
Speaker 1: on my game picks column that I struggled with the

486
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 1: most because I do think the Bills are better. But

487
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:57,439
Speaker 1: we know how it works. Like that doesn't necessarily mean

488
00:24:57,480 --> 00:24:59,520
Speaker 1: they're gonna win this week. I had my Homes winning

489
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:01,399
Speaker 1: the m v P for the season. This feels like

490
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 1: an m v P off. I mean, these are the

491
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,480
Speaker 1: two best quarterbacks in the league. They'd be my top

492
00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:08,439
Speaker 1: two for m VP so far. It's it's really early,

493
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:11,000
Speaker 1: but they're also doing things at a higher level than

494
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:13,960
Speaker 1: we've almost ever seen at the positions. I think Mahomes

495
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:16,399
Speaker 1: pulls out a magical one. Like Greg points to his

496
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:20,200
Speaker 1: own picks call, that result isn't necessarily how it will

497
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 1: go because it's possible that real life will trump Greg's No.

498
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:29,280
Speaker 1: I think I was saying the Bills are a better team,

499
00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:31,639
Speaker 1: but real life it's like the better team doesn't like

500
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:33,240
Speaker 1: even though I think they're a better team, I'm gonna

501
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 1: pick he has hedged his bet. Yeah, I don't feel

502
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:38,119
Speaker 1: good about this at all, But I don't like picking

503
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:41,720
Speaker 1: against Mahomes as an underdog at home. I don't know either,

504
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:43,760
Speaker 1: but I think that we're so focused on the fact

505
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:46,080
Speaker 1: that he's seven oh and one against the spread as

506
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 1: an underdog that it's like that number feels like it's

507
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 1: bound to get poinked at some point here. And I

508
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:52,880
Speaker 1: think the Bills are the more complete team. I love

509
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,040
Speaker 1: their defense. I think they're improved from where they were

510
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:57,359
Speaker 1: a year ago on that side of the ball, particularly

511
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:00,760
Speaker 1: in this matchup. I'm gonna go Bills already three thirty

512
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:04,360
Speaker 1: in overtime. All right, let's check it with the poetic

513
00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:06,400
Speaker 1: about your pick for five minutes. So I will too.

514
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 1: So it's that easy. Hey, heroes, it's Nick here again.

515
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:19,160
Speaker 1: I really embarrassed myself last week. I got too big

516
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:26,440
Speaker 1: for the team. Suddenly I'm on NFL Network UK Sports

517
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:29,280
Speaker 1: looking like a robber. International fame really got to my

518
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:33,960
Speaker 1: head UK Sports? What is that? Was bigger than the team?

519
00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:35,719
Speaker 1: But I'm back this week. I've been trying to make

520
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:39,439
Speaker 1: it up to my brothers. They won't answer my text calls.

521
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:45,879
Speaker 1: They won't even participating the locks competition. I really had

522
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:48,720
Speaker 1: to do some dig in, so I decided to live

523
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:51,440
Speaker 1: on the streets for a few days. I got back

524
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:56,960
Speaker 1: from Baltimore after disappointment that the Ravens beating the Bengals,

525
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:02,520
Speaker 1: I just head straight for the street. It's dark, it's cold,

526
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:07,840
Speaker 1: trying to figure things out. One thing I know is

527
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:12,680
Speaker 1: my brothers. They don't went out. They don't say hey,

528
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 1: take the easy way out. So I'm gonna do what

529
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 1: I think they're doing. They're thinking when you go to

530
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:25,120
Speaker 1: the Bills and the Chiefs. God, it's cold out here.

531
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:30,040
Speaker 1: I don't know. This is a tough one. Let's trying

532
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 1: to wrap this bag. Top three in the week. Hard

533
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:37,159
Speaker 1: to bet against Patrick my homes, But I think the

534
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:39,560
Speaker 1: Bills are gonna pull it off. Okay, this once with

535
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:45,040
Speaker 1: my brothers. The Bills take care of business. Lock it up.

536
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 1: When did Terrence Malick start directing the Nick Lock of

537
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:52,960
Speaker 1: the Week scenarios? Can we grave digger? Can you check

538
00:27:52,960 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 1: in a second year? H we got something? Oh hey hey, um,

539
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:02,840
Speaker 1: this is where the producer is not always it's not

540
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:06,840
Speaker 1: always glory boy stuff. I was gonna say, if there's

541
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:09,919
Speaker 1: a way too nicely, say hey, can we just like

542
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:12,720
Speaker 1: land it bring it in for a landing within sixty seconds?

543
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:15,320
Speaker 1: That would be helpful. Copy of that, um. But also

544
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:18,720
Speaker 1: I do I do like the Nick was probably in

545
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:21,760
Speaker 1: high school he was like, I'd never joined the drama club,

546
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:23,960
Speaker 1: you know, that's for the whims and cheeks. And now

547
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:26,600
Speaker 1: in middle age he's he's kind of leaning into the

548
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:29,640
Speaker 1: artistic side of him, and I like that, so torn

549
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:31,480
Speaker 1: a little bit. All I can think when I'm watching

550
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:34,040
Speaker 1: that is how much Chris would get a kick out

551
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:37,720
Speaker 1: of it. He would love Nick Startern, and he found

552
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:40,920
Speaker 1: Nick to be um, you know, rightly, like the funniest person.

553
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:43,680
Speaker 1: And he has grown as a thespian as WestEd West.

554
00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 1: Initially it was like, I don't want to do these skits,

555
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:47,160
Speaker 1: but then he started to become more and more skit.

556
00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:50,520
Speaker 1: West was initially on camera stiffer than a two by four,

557
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:53,400
Speaker 1: and then by the end like he was a master

558
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 1: of the craft, master stage man. Let's pick up the

559
00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:01,400
Speaker 1: pace here ourselves. By the way, the Bloviation is off

560
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:02,960
Speaker 1: the charts. I mean, that's the game of the year,

561
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:07,080
Speaker 1: so they deserved it. Uh, pick two the old zeus, sir,

562
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 1: And I ain't feeling bad about a Jets at Packers

563
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 1: from lambeau Field to three and two teams, And I understand,

564
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 1: I get it. People don't want don't want to see

565
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:22,280
Speaker 1: me get hurt and don't get too excited about the Jets. Uh.

566
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:25,120
Speaker 1: And I get that because you look at the Jets

567
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:30,360
Speaker 1: wins and it's uh miracle against Cleveland, a near miracle

568
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:32,840
Speaker 1: against Pittsburgh, and then you beat up on a pretty

569
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:36,320
Speaker 1: decimated Miami team uh in the fourth quarter of that game.

570
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 1: So yes, you could look at it that way, but

571
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:43,160
Speaker 1: then you have to understand the optimism right now around

572
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:45,560
Speaker 1: this organization is so different because they have so many

573
00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:48,160
Speaker 1: great young players now on both sides of the ball,

574
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:51,960
Speaker 1: and once you get a big win like they did

575
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:55,960
Speaker 1: at home, that you start to believe in yourself and

576
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:58,560
Speaker 1: you start to think that you could be that team.

577
00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:01,480
Speaker 1: And that's why this is such a perfectly timed trip

578
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:04,280
Speaker 1: to lambeau Field, because it's such a great heat check

579
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:07,000
Speaker 1: for where the Jets are as that team when you're

580
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:08,600
Speaker 1: trying to figure out at the beginning of the season,

581
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:11,040
Speaker 1: who is the team like in the power rankings that's

582
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:13,800
Speaker 1: thirty two that could actually make noise, and all of

583
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:16,920
Speaker 1: a sudden surprise people, the Jets have emerged as potentially

584
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:19,560
Speaker 1: one of those teams. But you need to show something here.

585
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:22,120
Speaker 1: So I see this game going in one of two directions, boys,

586
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 1: direction one knowing the full picture of the Jets and

587
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 1: not just looking at the record and some of the

588
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:30,920
Speaker 1: highlights which have been impressive. Uh, is the Green Bay

589
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:33,000
Speaker 1: is a better team with a better roster at home?

590
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:37,320
Speaker 1: Probably ticked off about how things went in London, and

591
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:41,040
Speaker 1: it's fourteen nothing midway through the first quarter and the

592
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 1: Jets end up losing and losing big. That is absolutely

593
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:47,640
Speaker 1: something I could see happen. But there's another path here

594
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:50,800
Speaker 1: where the Jets, playing confident, playing loose in Green Bay,

595
00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 1: not quite in a good place right now, not quite

596
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:56,360
Speaker 1: figured out who they are, what they're doing, are in

597
00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 1: yet another close game with a team that they're quote

598
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 1: unquote better than, and all of a sudden it's the

599
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:02,440
Speaker 1: fourth quarter and the Jets have a chance to make

600
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:05,240
Speaker 1: a major statement. Yeah, I'm not that convinced the Packers

601
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:08,080
Speaker 1: are that much better than them. I don't totally don't

602
00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:10,760
Speaker 1: get why they're a touchdown favor. I think the Packers

603
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:13,840
Speaker 1: have been mediocre so far. The offense is there, but

604
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:17,480
Speaker 1: if you just look at pure talent, the Jets to

605
00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:21,040
Speaker 1: me are competitive with the Packers, which is crazy, but

606
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:23,800
Speaker 1: I think this is a pretty talented Jets roster. My

607
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:26,760
Speaker 1: huge question coming into the year was just Zack Wilson.

608
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:30,720
Speaker 1: If Zach Wilson is average, then this team, Uh if

609
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:33,760
Speaker 1: the pickups, you know, execute like we hope, and the

610
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:36,360
Speaker 1: draft class is good, and so far it really looks

611
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:38,520
Speaker 1: like both are happening. Carl Lawson's coming off a big

612
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:41,520
Speaker 1: game too, was like adding a new player. Then this

613
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:44,800
Speaker 1: is a really talented team. And so far Zach Wilson

614
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:47,800
Speaker 1: has played the best two game stretch of his career.

615
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:49,720
Speaker 1: I was impressed with what he did a week ago.

616
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:52,120
Speaker 1: I know they didn't ask him to win the game

617
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:55,240
Speaker 1: for him, but he's just doing little things like changing

618
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:58,680
Speaker 1: the plays before the snap into the right call and

619
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:02,480
Speaker 1: just doing things that he was not doing a year ago.

620
00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:04,520
Speaker 1: And there's a couple throws each game where he makes

621
00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:08,080
Speaker 1: an opposite hash throw with anticipation. Just it just shows

622
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:10,760
Speaker 1: he's matured and if he's okay. To me, these two

623
00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 1: teams are pretty even, and I would say it should

624
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:14,959
Speaker 1: be a one score game at the end. I am

625
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:19,360
Speaker 1: totally with you on this. I think if you're Green Bay,

626
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:23,080
Speaker 1: there is a scenario where you essentially woke up the

627
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:25,360
Speaker 1: New York Giants and their fan base. You could do

628
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:27,720
Speaker 1: it with the Jets one week later. I love the

629
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 1: idea of back to back slidings against two New York

630
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:33,280
Speaker 1: teams that were more abund for so long, You've long

631
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:36,040
Speaker 1: hated the Packers, so it's I just see it. I

632
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:38,880
Speaker 1: see it doorway for the Jets for a watershed moment,

633
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:41,640
Speaker 1: because I do think the number one the young talent

634
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:43,960
Speaker 1: is here and it's playing well. And I love the

635
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:48,040
Speaker 1: idea of Sauce Gardner, DJ Reid Jordan Whitehead this secondary

636
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 1: under Robert Sala confusing a Green Bay passing attack that

637
00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 1: really did not answer the bella we could go against

638
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:56,720
Speaker 1: the Giants. I think about the four team place sixty

639
00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:59,320
Speaker 1: nine yard drive they had that ended in zero points

640
00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:01,960
Speaker 1: when it was twined twenty and the and the Packers

641
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:03,880
Speaker 1: got the ball back with the heat on them. They

642
00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:06,080
Speaker 1: were agitated then like they will be this week. They

643
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:08,720
Speaker 1: went three and out. It was twenty seven to twenty

644
00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:11,760
Speaker 1: and Aaron Rodgers has two key passes on third and

645
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:16,520
Speaker 1: fourth down with the game on the line, tipped and die. UM.

646
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 1: Any top ten list of rookie like Rookie the Year

647
00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:22,840
Speaker 1: watch right now should have Sauce Gardner on it. UM

648
00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:25,560
Speaker 1: absolutely should have Garrett Wilson on it. And Bruce Hall

649
00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:28,120
Speaker 1: after coming off that breakoup game, maybe he should be

650
00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 1: on the list too. Can't they run the ball in

651
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:32,640
Speaker 1: this Packers defense? They can? But also here's the here's

652
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:34,800
Speaker 1: where the Packers win this game. They run the ball

653
00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:37,360
Speaker 1: on the Jets where he mostart cut through the Jets

654
00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:40,440
Speaker 1: even though they had a third string quarterback on the field.

655
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:43,520
Speaker 1: Miami did. And now you have Aaron Jones and a

656
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:46,960
Speaker 1: j Dillon. So maybe maybe this is the time where

657
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:50,000
Speaker 1: Green Bay says, I know we have Aaron Rodgers, but

658
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:51,960
Speaker 1: this should be a game where we run the ball

659
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:54,560
Speaker 1: a lot and take it to the Jets that way

660
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:57,760
Speaker 1: and grind out a win. So I could see, like

661
00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:00,960
Speaker 1: I said, both outcomes um. And I just want to

662
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:04,360
Speaker 1: say one more thing. Elijah Vera Tucker. I talked about

663
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:06,280
Speaker 1: him last week that they moved him to left tackle

664
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:09,640
Speaker 1: in an emergency emergency scenario and he performed well. They

665
00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:12,520
Speaker 1: shifted him over to right tackle last week and he

666
00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:16,120
Speaker 1: gave up no pressures in twenty six. I want to

667
00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:19,400
Speaker 1: keep him there. He's player. He is part of the

668
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:22,240
Speaker 1: reason they traded up for him to get an interior alignment,

669
00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:24,600
Speaker 1: and there was some pushback at the time. Was because

670
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:28,000
Speaker 1: he has versatility. It's amazing. And now Dwayne Brown's back

671
00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:30,840
Speaker 1: at left tackle, so this is an interesting time in

672
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:34,040
Speaker 1: Jets history. We'll see how they play. I've always brought

673
00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:36,640
Speaker 1: up the point that the Patriots were supposedly taking Vera

674
00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:39,319
Speaker 1: Tucker and they ended up with Mac Jones anyway, you know,

675
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:43,400
Speaker 1: but they would have taken Vera Tuckers. That's the Jets believed,

676
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:46,240
Speaker 1: and there was other reporting that people believe that Patriots

677
00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:47,880
Speaker 1: are going to take them there. That's why they traded up.

678
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:50,480
Speaker 1: It's a sliding doors moment. Guys are wide open on

679
00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:52,640
Speaker 1: this offense. That's the thing. They really remind me of

680
00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:55,440
Speaker 1: the forty Niners offense the Jets, and that's the thing

681
00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:59,160
Speaker 1: sense offensive cord and it's like, imagine if Jimmy Garoppolo

682
00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:02,440
Speaker 1: could actually hit a deep out or hit some sideline throws,

683
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:03,960
Speaker 1: it shouldn't be that. It hasn't been that hard for

684
00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:06,800
Speaker 1: Zach Wilson. Guys are I've seen more open guys in

685
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:09,360
Speaker 1: to Zach Wilson games and Justin Herbert's at all season,

686
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:12,000
Speaker 1: just like guys are wide open. Speaking of West, I

687
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:13,960
Speaker 1: would love to hear West talking about the Jets and

688
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:15,719
Speaker 1: see what he thinks about this team. Right now. This

689
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:18,240
Speaker 1: is a flower on flower game, La flora versus laflora,

690
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:22,800
Speaker 1: and you usually don't see flower violence. No. Alright, Greg,

691
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:25,840
Speaker 1: you're up, all right, I'm gonna take the Patriots and

692
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:30,000
Speaker 1: the Browns un flowers peace typically, but in this case

693
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:33,560
Speaker 1: it's not. It's anti piece yeah, which I like not always,

694
00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:37,560
Speaker 1: but in this case I like it. Uh, go ahead, sorry,

695
00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:40,680
Speaker 1: it's okay. These two teams intrigued me. Now. The Patriots

696
00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:43,080
Speaker 1: have been fights state they're kind of winning me over here.

697
00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:47,760
Speaker 1: I like this matchup because I think it's so spicy,

698
00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:50,880
Speaker 1: vital for both of these teams. Now they're more feisty,

699
00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:52,640
Speaker 1: I think, Yeah, I think they are fights. I think

700
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:55,359
Speaker 1: they're well frisky to feisty. Like I said, I think

701
00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:59,560
Speaker 1: everyone from matth Jessey we're a feisty people. And I

702
00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:03,200
Speaker 1: think this is self proclaimed tricky matchup for the Browns

703
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:04,759
Speaker 1: because I think the Browns look at this and they

704
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:07,920
Speaker 1: think they're the better team, especially if Bailey's Appy is

705
00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:11,160
Speaker 1: at quarterback. We don't know for sure. It sounds more

706
00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:14,160
Speaker 1: likely than not it's Bailey's Appy, but we won't know.

707
00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:17,239
Speaker 1: But the Patriots, you know, see what the Browns have

708
00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:20,520
Speaker 1: done running the ball, and they haven't been a great

709
00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:22,840
Speaker 1: run defense until a week ago where it was against

710
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:25,280
Speaker 1: a very similar sort of power running attack in Detroit

711
00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:27,399
Speaker 1: and held up very well. I think they're a well

712
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:30,680
Speaker 1: coached defense, and they're gonna believe that they can get

713
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:33,839
Speaker 1: off the bus running against Cleveland. And they will miss

714
00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:37,239
Speaker 1: Damien Harris, who's a really good player, but Romandre Stevenson

715
00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:39,720
Speaker 1: is just as good, and I think he can handle

716
00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:42,759
Speaker 1: the load being like the main guy, and they're gonna

717
00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:44,400
Speaker 1: believe that they can kind of play this game on

718
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:47,879
Speaker 1: their terms. Belichick smoked Stefanski a year ago. They won

719
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:50,320
Speaker 1: that game forty five to seven. It was a little flukey,

720
00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:53,400
Speaker 1: but it's still I think he's gonna feel confident that

721
00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:55,879
Speaker 1: he can get enough stops and go win another ugly game.

722
00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:58,240
Speaker 1: I think Belichick loves this set up because it's really

723
00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:01,279
Speaker 1: just like, we're gonna go at your biggest weakness. Just

724
00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:04,160
Speaker 1: like you said, the Browns thirty second overall and defensive

725
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:07,479
Speaker 1: run d v o A. They don't. They're probably five

726
00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:09,160
Speaker 1: and oh if they can stop the run. I mean,

727
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:11,399
Speaker 1: that game last week against the Chargers got totally out

728
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:14,759
Speaker 1: of hand. They were completely overpowered and overman. You can't

729
00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:18,279
Speaker 1: tackle like they had eight. There's all these cutaways from

730
00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:20,480
Speaker 1: Brown's practice this week where they're like, now we're putting

731
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:23,120
Speaker 1: a special emphasis on tackling. Well, here's a difference because

732
00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:25,920
Speaker 1: the Browns also are going against the New England defense

733
00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:29,960
Speaker 1: that's not been great against the run. But the Patriots

734
00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:32,360
Speaker 1: understand it. I'm not I think they should be annoyed

735
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:37,120
Speaker 1: with themselves because I wonder if Stefanski, I don't know,

736
00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:39,320
Speaker 1: forty seven can really be a fluke. I know what

737
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:43,200
Speaker 1: you're saying, but it's just they just got stamped. They

738
00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:45,840
Speaker 1: got stamped in like Cleveland. I think in little moments,

739
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:48,359
Speaker 1: coaching has been an issue. They've done a nice job

740
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:51,040
Speaker 1: overall coaching the offense, coaching to Kroby Pissette, but there's

741
00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:53,640
Speaker 1: little moments where it's like, I wonder if that's some

742
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:56,200
Speaker 1: better game day coaching. You're not looking some of these breakdowns,

743
00:37:56,760 --> 00:37:59,520
Speaker 1: don't don't. How about close a game, Cleveland? How about

744
00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:01,680
Speaker 1: this have a game? How about this, while we're giving

745
00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:04,600
Speaker 1: out on solicited advice to the Browns, how about thirty

746
00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:08,560
Speaker 1: five carries in this game? How about we give to

747
00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:12,680
Speaker 1: Chub or seven to chub and eight to ten uh

748
00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:15,960
Speaker 1: to Kareem Hunt and win the game that way. Because

749
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:20,040
Speaker 1: the Patriots are nobody's superpower anymore, they can be defeated.

750
00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:23,359
Speaker 1: Jacoby Brisset has been very good, but mistake prone, try

751
00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:25,160
Speaker 1: to control the game of the line of scrimage because

752
00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:28,200
Speaker 1: guess what, Like Bellichick knows Brissette, he drafted Brissette. And

753
00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:30,480
Speaker 1: if you want to see what happens with Bill Belichick

754
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:33,840
Speaker 1: planning for to attack Brissette's weaknesses and you want to

755
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:36,120
Speaker 1: have him throw thirty more times this week or whatever

756
00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:38,839
Speaker 1: it was coming out him, you're asking for a lot

757
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:42,440
Speaker 1: of trouble. So you have the best running back or

758
00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:45,280
Speaker 1: the second best in the league right now in Nick Chubb,

759
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:49,920
Speaker 1: use him, use him, and then with Deshaun Watson's back

760
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:51,759
Speaker 1: in a month and a half or whatever, you could

761
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:54,120
Speaker 1: start finding some more balance. That's been annoying to me

762
00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:57,920
Speaker 1: all season, I hear you. But they have been pretty

763
00:38:57,960 --> 00:39:00,239
Speaker 1: run heavy, and that's been amazing. He's really to be

764
00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:02,520
Speaker 1: the most unheavy team in football. They are. They are

765
00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:05,319
Speaker 1: the number one rusher. Yeah, I think that some of

766
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:08,560
Speaker 1: that was situational less his efficiency numbers. I know he

767
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:12,800
Speaker 1: has those killer interceptions, but for the most part he's waked.

768
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:15,319
Speaker 1: I saw some article like saying like this is what

769
00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:18,240
Speaker 1: happens when you start Jacoby said, he has exceeded every

770
00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:21,880
Speaker 1: expectation possible. He's been a better than average starting quarterback.

771
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:24,960
Speaker 1: They're passing game has been like top five or six efficiency.

772
00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:27,120
Speaker 1: Like he's had some killer mistakes, but he's having killer

773
00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:29,480
Speaker 1: mistakes in thirty three to thirty games where you have

774
00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:32,080
Speaker 1: to score at the end. Like that's not on Jacoby said.

775
00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:34,040
Speaker 1: But to your point, I do think Belichick will make

776
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:37,359
Speaker 1: him hold the ball. That's his kryptonite. He sometimes gets

777
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:40,560
Speaker 1: a little cautious and and and and wants to hold

778
00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:43,279
Speaker 1: the ball forever, and then bad things happen. If you

779
00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:45,759
Speaker 1: if someone told you that we'd be in week six

780
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:48,080
Speaker 1: and Jacoby precid it, thrown started every game and thrown

781
00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:52,279
Speaker 1: three interceptions total. Unlock David the Joku played really well

782
00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:54,239
Speaker 1: with the Mari Cooper and they had the number one

783
00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:56,279
Speaker 1: running game. You think things were fine, It's just that

784
00:39:56,320 --> 00:39:59,759
Speaker 1: those three interceptions. He's playing so magnetically problematic. He's been

785
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:02,239
Speaker 1: playing as well or better than Baker did two years ago,

786
00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:05,000
Speaker 1: Baker's best seas. I also think the Patriots are finding

787
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:07,839
Speaker 1: out who they are. They're starting to condense. I think

788
00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:11,920
Speaker 1: some of the playing rotations and uh Taekwon Thornton their

789
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:14,279
Speaker 1: draft picks coming in here. I think they might get

790
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:16,799
Speaker 1: agre off the field, they're condensing it. I think they're

791
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:19,040
Speaker 1: figuring out who they are. Greggy. It has been the

792
00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:21,280
Speaker 1: fall of Greggy with some of your great Geno Smith

793
00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:24,479
Speaker 1: related and Russell Wilson related predictions. But how many times

794
00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:27,239
Speaker 1: did I say this summer, don't worry about the Patriots.

795
00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:29,880
Speaker 1: The Patriots will figure it out. Might take a few weeks,

796
00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:34,600
Speaker 1: they gotta. Yeah, as you were a seer on that front,

797
00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:37,479
Speaker 1: they've been a lot of doubts about. They've been checking

798
00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:39,640
Speaker 1: the coaching staff, but they look like a pretty well

799
00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:42,239
Speaker 1: coached team coming out the twenty nine nothing win in

800
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:45,759
Speaker 1: Week five. Um and to the point, So here we go.

801
00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:48,800
Speaker 1: The Browns attempts this season, that's second in the league

802
00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:51,440
Speaker 1: behind the Eagles, the Giants a fairly distant third at

803
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:54,440
Speaker 1: one sixty five. I guess my point is should be

804
00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:56,560
Speaker 1: even more. You should be far and away number one

805
00:40:56,640 --> 00:40:59,640
Speaker 1: rushing team in the league. Guess what Eagles is Jalen

806
00:40:59,719 --> 00:41:01,880
Speaker 1: Hurts that already got Jalen Hurts his attempts and it

807
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:05,840
Speaker 1: involved there verus Kobe person just saying like they average

808
00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:08,480
Speaker 1: five point three yards per carry the Browns, I just

809
00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:12,080
Speaker 1: think every like criticizing anything offensively for them is beside

810
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:15,360
Speaker 1: the point. They're so well coached. Offensive line in Joco

811
00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:18,239
Speaker 1: is getting going. Amari Cooper looks incredible. Their defense has

812
00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:21,440
Speaker 1: been a tire fire. They can't tackle and they're confused.

813
00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:25,240
Speaker 1: They you could they're the worst coach defense in the NFL.

814
00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:28,080
Speaker 1: That's all it's to me. It's all I'm talking. The

815
00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:29,839
Speaker 1: more you run, the more you can control the game.

816
00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:32,320
Speaker 1: You keep your defense so you don't trust off the field.

817
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:34,360
Speaker 1: I don't know they have a whole one thing that

818
00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:37,360
Speaker 1: only Derrick Henry has more attempts than Shub He should

819
00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:41,960
Speaker 1: have more than sating you on this topic. I understand

820
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:44,080
Speaker 1: I'm trying to express, and I know I'm getting a

821
00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:45,960
Speaker 1: lot of pushback that you have two of the best

822
00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:48,560
Speaker 1: running backs in the league, use them more and more

823
00:41:48,719 --> 00:41:51,120
Speaker 1: and try to control the game that way. Don't hate

824
00:41:51,160 --> 00:41:52,759
Speaker 1: the idea. I mean, when they've been doing that, they've

825
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:56,239
Speaker 1: been successful. All Right, let's take a break and we

826
00:41:56,280 --> 00:42:03,040
Speaker 1: move on. All right, Greggy the raft you know this

827
00:42:03,120 --> 00:42:05,759
Speaker 1: is a great ten am slate. I feel like I

828
00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:09,200
Speaker 1: have so many good options. I'm gonna take the Kyle

829
00:42:09,239 --> 00:42:12,800
Speaker 1: Shanahan goes back to Atlanta revenge game might be a

830
00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:16,120
Speaker 1: surprising pick. But I find them frisky. I haven't watched

831
00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:20,400
Speaker 1: either of these teams on the Falcons. Yeah, because he

832
00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:23,839
Speaker 1: got blamed for you know that that Super Bowl. It

833
00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:27,840
Speaker 1: was a sad moment. Did the Falcon No? No, I

834
00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:29,880
Speaker 1: just got a job off. I guess the revenge is

835
00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:32,560
Speaker 1: the wrong word. I just was trying to connect to

836
00:42:34,160 --> 00:42:37,799
Speaker 1: and it didn't really make sense. This Falcons team is

837
00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:40,440
Speaker 1: fun to watch each and every week. They're in the

838
00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:42,680
Speaker 1: game at the end. I think they will find a

839
00:42:42,719 --> 00:42:44,840
Speaker 1: way to make this game interesting. I think it's a

840
00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:47,640
Speaker 1: tricky spot for San Francisco. They keep doing this thing

841
00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:51,879
Speaker 1: every year where they go east and then in their

842
00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:55,040
Speaker 1: first game of a two game road trip, everyone gets hurt,

843
00:42:55,320 --> 00:42:58,440
Speaker 1: and then they hang out in West Virginia for a week,

844
00:42:58,840 --> 00:43:00,840
Speaker 1: and then they co to that game and they're like

845
00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:02,799
Speaker 1: missing a lot of the great players that they had

846
00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:05,080
Speaker 1: the first game. They might be missing Nick Bosa this week.

847
00:43:05,600 --> 00:43:09,640
Speaker 1: And I think they've been getting better offensively. But this

848
00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:12,840
Speaker 1: is one team the Falcons, that actually could run the

849
00:43:12,840 --> 00:43:15,440
Speaker 1: ball against them. It's the number two team in rushing

850
00:43:15,560 --> 00:43:17,920
Speaker 1: versus the number one rush defense. And I think the

851
00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:20,760
Speaker 1: Falcons will stay patient with it, and I think they'll

852
00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:23,600
Speaker 1: make this an ugly sort of game that is fun

853
00:43:23,600 --> 00:43:26,520
Speaker 1: to watch. I mean, they don't have Cordarold Patterson, which

854
00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:28,759
Speaker 1: is a big reason they were that that rushing team,

855
00:43:28,760 --> 00:43:31,520
Speaker 1: but Tyler Algier the rest of those guys, like that's

856
00:43:31,520 --> 00:43:33,879
Speaker 1: just sort of who they are. And Mariota, who has

857
00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:36,959
Speaker 1: the you know, the third lowest completion percentage in the league.

858
00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:38,480
Speaker 1: You don't want him throwing the ball left and right

859
00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:40,359
Speaker 1: because he's been a mistake prone too in terms of

860
00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:42,520
Speaker 1: turning the ball over. I think he's throwing the ball

861
00:43:42,560 --> 00:43:44,560
Speaker 1: well though in general. But if they could control the

862
00:43:44,560 --> 00:43:47,960
Speaker 1: ground game for the last two weeks, it's a little

863
00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:50,120
Speaker 1: but that's how they got into like they got into

864
00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:52,560
Speaker 1: that hole against the Bucks because of that. And I

865
00:43:52,560 --> 00:43:54,160
Speaker 1: think you're right. I think we could see Ritter at

866
00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:57,320
Speaker 1: some point here. But you're talking about a Niners defensive.

867
00:43:57,360 --> 00:43:59,160
Speaker 1: I know they're banged up with no boasts that be

868
00:43:59,200 --> 00:44:01,759
Speaker 1: a big thing. They haven't allowed anyone to score over

869
00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:04,560
Speaker 1: twenty points and so the Falcons have, you know, found

870
00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:06,640
Speaker 1: a way to score points week after week. They have

871
00:44:06,719 --> 00:44:09,560
Speaker 1: been spicy. I find them super fun to watch. Um

872
00:44:09,600 --> 00:44:11,359
Speaker 1: a lot of weird things seemed to happen to them

873
00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:13,520
Speaker 1: that keep them in games. But the Niners, to me

874
00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:15,759
Speaker 1: is this is the defense where they come into and

875
00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:17,839
Speaker 1: they might be dealing with a wall. The one way

876
00:44:17,880 --> 00:44:20,200
Speaker 1: they got in last week was that the Bucks offense

877
00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:22,759
Speaker 1: went to sleep for like four straight drives and gave

878
00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:24,680
Speaker 1: the Falcons way back in. Is that gonna happen with

879
00:44:24,680 --> 00:44:27,160
Speaker 1: this Niner offense quickly? Because sometimes we just say, oh,

880
00:44:27,160 --> 00:44:33,920
Speaker 1: they're banged up. Here's who missed practice on Wednesday arek Armstead, Sampson,

881
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:38,160
Speaker 1: Abcom Nick Bosa. So that's three of their starting, uh

882
00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:41,440
Speaker 1: defensive linement. I think kin Law might be on injured reserve. No,

883
00:44:41,480 --> 00:44:44,200
Speaker 1: he didn't practice either, So their original starting defensive line

884
00:44:44,560 --> 00:44:47,320
Speaker 1: is literally all out. They lost Mosley for the season

885
00:44:47,360 --> 00:44:49,720
Speaker 1: this week, who's been good. They still don't have Trent Williams.

886
00:44:49,719 --> 00:44:52,080
Speaker 1: That left tackle, Jimmy Ward, their safety broke his hand.

887
00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:54,160
Speaker 1: We don't know if he's gonna play their kickers out

888
00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:56,600
Speaker 1: like it's just a lot they're not that same defense.

889
00:44:56,719 --> 00:44:58,760
Speaker 1: Is kind of my point right now. They're gonna stitch

890
00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:01,080
Speaker 1: it together and they'll probably be better than average. But

891
00:45:01,160 --> 00:45:03,839
Speaker 1: I think it's too much to expect to miss your

892
00:45:03,960 --> 00:45:06,479
Speaker 1: entire defensive lineing. I'm with you. But doesn't it feel

893
00:45:06,520 --> 00:45:10,080
Speaker 1: like every season with every Niners team, there's always like

894
00:45:10,160 --> 00:45:13,080
Speaker 1: eighteen guys injured and it doesn't seem to change the result.

895
00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:15,480
Speaker 1: I know that's not very logical, but it just seems

896
00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:19,920
Speaker 1: to be their aura, good aura around that team. Dana,

897
00:45:20,040 --> 00:45:23,319
Speaker 1: can we interest you in discussing this game? No, In fact,

898
00:45:23,400 --> 00:45:25,440
Speaker 1: I'm ready to move on to the next pick. It

899
00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:30,200
Speaker 1: will be uh the Let's go New York, New York.

900
00:45:30,520 --> 00:45:33,200
Speaker 1: Let's go Baltimore Ravens traveling to the meadow Lands to

901
00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:41,000
Speaker 1: face the Jaman are killing me by the way. You've

902
00:45:41,040 --> 00:45:44,239
Speaker 1: each taken the game that I want in successive turns

903
00:45:44,239 --> 00:45:46,680
Speaker 1: always the best. And I'm texting with our producer and

904
00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:51,719
Speaker 1: he's never never better when that happens, whether it's in

905
00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:55,040
Speaker 1: a fantasy draft or right here or in life, when

906
00:45:55,080 --> 00:45:58,719
Speaker 1: you get something right before someone else wants it, whether

907
00:45:58,760 --> 00:46:01,879
Speaker 1: it's a job or a earl or whatever, it's even better.

908
00:46:03,280 --> 00:46:06,800
Speaker 1: So now I take that from Mark, and I celebrate

909
00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:10,680
Speaker 1: with discussion the Baltimore Ravens three and two. I think

910
00:46:10,719 --> 00:46:13,839
Speaker 1: this is a game the Ravens should win. In fact,

911
00:46:13,880 --> 00:46:15,680
Speaker 1: I'm so certain they're gonna win. I'm locking it up.

912
00:46:16,280 --> 00:46:19,600
Speaker 1: I feel Baltimore is a team. Even with two bad losses,

913
00:46:20,320 --> 00:46:22,680
Speaker 1: UM will go on the road and take care of

914
00:46:22,719 --> 00:46:25,640
Speaker 1: business here. Wow, after you've gotten on me for being

915
00:46:25,680 --> 00:46:29,200
Speaker 1: anti Giants for so long, you're literally locking against them

916
00:46:29,200 --> 00:46:31,400
Speaker 1: as I think you'd like the spotlight to shine on

917
00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:36,279
Speaker 1: just one New York team this weekend. Sure they got

918
00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:38,239
Speaker 1: a big game tonight. You know they do they do

919
00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:42,680
Speaker 1: where they're permitting. UM. The Ravens are a team I

920
00:46:42,719 --> 00:46:47,560
Speaker 1: really like. I think the Ravens are going to be UM.

921
00:46:47,640 --> 00:46:50,160
Speaker 1: There's a good chance they're playing very deep into January,

922
00:46:50,239 --> 00:46:52,600
Speaker 1: in my opinion, and these two bumps in the road

923
00:46:52,719 --> 00:46:55,439
Speaker 1: or that they've had, they'll figure out. I I love

924
00:46:55,560 --> 00:46:58,080
Speaker 1: the gumption. I think the Ravens are a team that

925
00:46:58,200 --> 00:47:00,200
Speaker 1: is going to be a handful for the Giant. And

926
00:47:00,239 --> 00:47:04,640
Speaker 1: I really do like how the UM Giants have played

927
00:47:04,640 --> 00:47:09,160
Speaker 1: to the best, to the highest level of their potential outcomes.

928
00:47:09,200 --> 00:47:12,080
Speaker 1: I feel like they're really playing and that's coaching and

929
00:47:12,120 --> 00:47:14,239
Speaker 1: that's all that. But I also think there's still a

930
00:47:14,239 --> 00:47:16,120
Speaker 1: limited team. I was thinking about what we were talking about,

931
00:47:16,719 --> 00:47:20,960
Speaker 1: UM feisty, spicy, frisky. I think the Giants are scrappy.

932
00:47:21,320 --> 00:47:24,120
Speaker 1: I think that's what the Giants are and that's and

933
00:47:24,160 --> 00:47:27,480
Speaker 1: you know that's could be seen as a backhanded compliment. Um,

934
00:47:27,520 --> 00:47:30,160
Speaker 1: But because they're so scrappy, I think they're going to

935
00:47:30,440 --> 00:47:32,600
Speaker 1: make this a close game, like they've made every other

936
00:47:32,640 --> 00:47:35,040
Speaker 1: game this season a close game. But in the end,

937
00:47:35,320 --> 00:47:38,480
Speaker 1: I think the the idea of Lamar Jackson getting styming

938
00:47:38,600 --> 00:47:42,160
Speaker 1: here by Wink Markindal wink Martindale, I don't see it happening.

939
00:47:42,200 --> 00:47:44,759
Speaker 1: I think the Ravens are gonna score enough points, uh

940
00:47:44,800 --> 00:47:46,799
Speaker 1: to really put the pressure on the Giants to do

941
00:47:46,920 --> 00:47:49,760
Speaker 1: something non se Quan related and make some big plays

942
00:47:49,760 --> 00:47:51,520
Speaker 1: in their passing game. And I'm just not ready to

943
00:47:51,560 --> 00:47:54,759
Speaker 1: go there. So I'm locking up those Ravens. Wow. I

944
00:47:55,040 --> 00:47:59,040
Speaker 1: um look at this game, and I too put in

945
00:47:59,080 --> 00:48:02,319
Speaker 1: a lock on it, and I gotta say, I don't

946
00:48:02,320 --> 00:48:05,759
Speaker 1: feel great now, not only because we're together. So he's

947
00:48:05,760 --> 00:48:08,240
Speaker 1: gonna see the only thing better than taking someone else's

948
00:48:08,280 --> 00:48:10,840
Speaker 1: game is locking something up before Greg and then he

949
00:48:10,840 --> 00:48:14,960
Speaker 1: has to live with that. Surely may pivot off of it.

950
00:48:15,040 --> 00:48:19,160
Speaker 1: I could, because what's the point of never. Well, here's

951
00:48:19,160 --> 00:48:20,960
Speaker 1: the thing. I believe it in the moment, and then

952
00:48:20,960 --> 00:48:23,480
Speaker 1: I completely forget about it, and then the game's kickoff.

953
00:48:23,760 --> 00:48:26,759
Speaker 1: You know that's what happens. Maybe you lost the eye

954
00:48:26,760 --> 00:48:28,360
Speaker 1: of the tiger, which is why you don't have the

955
00:48:28,440 --> 00:48:33,120
Speaker 1: trophy in your foyer sitting on struggling with like the

956
00:48:33,160 --> 00:48:35,879
Speaker 1: red lights around it to keep the security. So one

957
00:48:35,920 --> 00:48:37,840
Speaker 1: reason though I do feel as good as is the

958
00:48:37,880 --> 00:48:41,480
Speaker 1: Giants are getting healthier this week. It Dory Jackson, who

959
00:48:41,560 --> 00:48:44,080
Speaker 1: left that game last week, is back at practice and

960
00:48:44,320 --> 00:48:48,840
Speaker 1: he's vital for that secondary wan Dale Robinson might return.

961
00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:52,520
Speaker 1: Leonard Williams, their best defensive lineman, might return in this

962
00:48:52,560 --> 00:48:55,120
Speaker 1: game too, so that that's all really positive. Darny Holmes,

963
00:48:55,120 --> 00:48:58,839
Speaker 1: who gets um pumped up on the sideline, we saw

964
00:48:58,880 --> 00:49:00,920
Speaker 1: that video. I don't know if you you know. I

965
00:49:01,360 --> 00:49:03,560
Speaker 1: hadn't mentioned it just because it felt kind of mean

966
00:49:03,600 --> 00:49:07,400
Speaker 1: to that dude because it looks bad. His name on

967
00:49:07,440 --> 00:49:09,120
Speaker 1: the injury apart, and I was like, oh, there's that guy.

968
00:49:09,320 --> 00:49:15,640
Speaker 1: Not bad depending on how you view it. And Bateman

969
00:49:15,680 --> 00:49:17,520
Speaker 1: did not return to practice, and to me, that's a

970
00:49:17,520 --> 00:49:21,759
Speaker 1: really key injury for the Ravens because without Bateman, all

971
00:49:21,800 --> 00:49:25,040
Speaker 1: you have is DuVernay out wide, and you're really testing

972
00:49:25,080 --> 00:49:27,399
Speaker 1: the bounds of how how good a passing game can

973
00:49:27,440 --> 00:49:30,839
Speaker 1: be without quality wide receivers so he's someone I'm gonna

974
00:49:30,880 --> 00:49:33,200
Speaker 1: be watching closely on the injury. Like we saw some

975
00:49:33,239 --> 00:49:35,920
Speaker 1: of that against the Bengals on Sunday night, and Lamar,

976
00:49:36,040 --> 00:49:37,840
Speaker 1: you know, really put that game on his back with

977
00:49:37,920 --> 00:49:40,400
Speaker 1: his legs at the end, which is something he can

978
00:49:40,440 --> 00:49:42,759
Speaker 1: still do. He can do it against this better than

979
00:49:42,800 --> 00:49:46,920
Speaker 1: expected Giants defense. Think Wink Martindale has practiced against Lamar

980
00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:50,239
Speaker 1: Jackson like seven thousand times, so knows him well. But

981
00:49:50,640 --> 00:49:52,760
Speaker 1: I do wonder because the one thing I took away

982
00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:55,920
Speaker 1: from the Giants effort last week, I know people just

983
00:49:56,000 --> 00:49:58,359
Speaker 1: keep calling them the worst three and one team ever,

984
00:49:58,520 --> 00:50:00,120
Speaker 1: the worst four and one team ever, And it's like,

985
00:50:00,520 --> 00:50:01,759
Speaker 1: I don't know what they'll need to do to get

986
00:50:01,800 --> 00:50:03,800
Speaker 1: anyone's respect. I think if they won this game, you

987
00:50:03,920 --> 00:50:06,279
Speaker 1: do it. But here's what happened against Green Bay. When

988
00:50:06,320 --> 00:50:08,960
Speaker 1: they are giving you three drives in a row of

989
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:11,800
Speaker 1: ten plus plays, and then they're cutting two Packers players

990
00:50:11,920 --> 00:50:14,879
Speaker 1: who are winded on one knee and cannot handle what's

991
00:50:14,880 --> 00:50:17,200
Speaker 1: going on in London. And now you're talking about a

992
00:50:17,280 --> 00:50:20,080
Speaker 1: Ravens defense that is good, but they are twenty six

993
00:50:20,239 --> 00:50:21,880
Speaker 1: against the run in d v O A. So if

994
00:50:21,920 --> 00:50:24,600
Speaker 1: you get sa Quan and if Daniel Jones ankle was

995
00:50:24,640 --> 00:50:26,680
Speaker 1: one week healthier and you get him on the ground,

996
00:50:26,719 --> 00:50:29,440
Speaker 1: He's one of the most productive quarterbacks on the ground

997
00:50:29,440 --> 00:50:31,480
Speaker 1: we have in the league right now. I like the

998
00:50:31,520 --> 00:50:34,279
Speaker 1: idea of them keeping this close and doing a little

999
00:50:34,280 --> 00:50:37,920
Speaker 1: bit of New York magic. I'm just in not to

1000
00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:39,719
Speaker 1: keep it close because you I only know that because

1001
00:50:39,719 --> 00:50:42,319
Speaker 1: you retweeted it. You were so proud. So uh, this

1002
00:50:42,400 --> 00:50:44,400
Speaker 1: is our league picks. But I'm the only one that

1003
00:50:44,440 --> 00:50:46,880
Speaker 1: picked the Jets in that little conglomerate of people, and

1004
00:50:46,920 --> 00:50:49,200
Speaker 1: the only one that picked the Giants. So I'm trying

1005
00:50:49,239 --> 00:50:52,440
Speaker 1: to exactly we can We drew up with wf An.

1006
00:50:53,560 --> 00:50:55,520
Speaker 1: The Ravens are three and two, despite this from the

1007
00:50:55,719 --> 00:50:59,360
Speaker 1: media research, despite trailing for only eleven minutes in fifteen

1008
00:50:59,400 --> 00:51:01,799
Speaker 1: seconds this year. There that you want to talk who's

1009
00:51:01,840 --> 00:51:03,239
Speaker 1: the worst four and one team, The Ravens are the

1010
00:51:03,239 --> 00:51:05,560
Speaker 1: best three and two team in the league, and they're

1011
00:51:05,560 --> 00:51:08,680
Speaker 1: gonna show it here. They lost Marcus Williams, two injured

1012
00:51:08,719 --> 00:51:12,200
Speaker 1: reserve their you know, guy, who's the Giants a whole lot?

1013
00:51:12,239 --> 00:51:14,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know if they can it helps,

1014
00:51:14,000 --> 00:51:16,279
Speaker 1: but I don't know if their offenses, Like I may

1015
00:51:16,520 --> 00:51:18,879
Speaker 1: take advantage of it that way. Maybe not, but he's

1016
00:51:18,880 --> 00:51:21,000
Speaker 1: been good for them coming up the Saints, And I

1017
00:51:21,040 --> 00:51:24,120
Speaker 1: am curious when you've had a defensive coordinator that's practiced

1018
00:51:24,120 --> 00:51:26,560
Speaker 1: against a guy for four years and wink Martindale was

1019
00:51:26,680 --> 00:51:28,880
Speaker 1: not happy when he got fired. People thought it was

1020
00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:33,360
Speaker 1: very This is a true revenge game. I am curious

1021
00:51:33,400 --> 00:51:36,520
Speaker 1: to see the approach he takes against Lamar because whether

1022
00:51:36,560 --> 00:51:38,319
Speaker 1: it works or not, this is a guy who has

1023
00:51:38,640 --> 00:51:41,080
Speaker 1: more information than just about anyone. So we'll see what

1024
00:51:41,200 --> 00:51:44,520
Speaker 1: Helmar has been good against the Blitz this year. It's

1025
00:51:44,520 --> 00:51:47,040
Speaker 1: a it's a Blitz heavy team, so we'll see if

1026
00:51:47,120 --> 00:51:51,360
Speaker 1: if he does. And uh, final thoughts here the before um,

1027
00:51:51,600 --> 00:51:54,480
Speaker 1: we talked about Sunday night, the last second win over

1028
00:51:54,480 --> 00:51:59,360
Speaker 1: the Bengals for Baltimore. They interviewed Justin Tucker after the game,

1029
00:51:59,600 --> 00:52:03,279
Speaker 1: and uh, I think if you haven't heard this, you're

1030
00:52:03,280 --> 00:52:06,080
Speaker 1: gonna want to hear Justin Tucker discussing the mechanics of

1031
00:52:06,120 --> 00:52:10,200
Speaker 1: what makes greatness who by the way, before we listen

1032
00:52:10,239 --> 00:52:12,399
Speaker 1: to the sound, remember we talked about it Sunday night.

1033
00:52:12,680 --> 00:52:15,360
Speaker 1: Jessin Tucker doesn't just split the uprights. It doesn't just

1034
00:52:15,400 --> 00:52:17,480
Speaker 1: make a kick. He splits. The upright alone was literally

1035
00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:20,960
Speaker 1: they had a story out next Gen Stats that he

1036
00:52:20,960 --> 00:52:23,160
Speaker 1: would have made that kick if the uprights were eighteen

1037
00:52:23,160 --> 00:52:29,040
Speaker 1: inches apart. He like quite literally split the uprights. All right.

1038
00:52:29,080 --> 00:52:31,680
Speaker 1: Here's Justin Tucker discussing the game winner on Sunday night.

1039
00:52:32,440 --> 00:52:33,799
Speaker 1: I mean, I love it and I hate it and

1040
00:52:33,840 --> 00:52:36,520
Speaker 1: everything in between. It's, uh, you know, I'd be lying

1041
00:52:36,560 --> 00:52:37,719
Speaker 1: to you if I said, well, every time I go

1042
00:52:37,719 --> 00:52:39,480
Speaker 1: out there, I'm not just a little bit nervous. You know,

1043
00:52:39,520 --> 00:52:42,560
Speaker 1: I'm not thinking about, you know, worst case scenario. But

1044
00:52:43,120 --> 00:52:45,279
Speaker 1: it's really important to me and to us to take

1045
00:52:45,440 --> 00:52:47,760
Speaker 1: you know, those one point three seconds between the snap,

1046
00:52:47,760 --> 00:52:50,239
Speaker 1: the hold in the kick and just focus on the

1047
00:52:50,320 --> 00:52:52,200
Speaker 1: nuts and bolts of what's gonna make the kick. And

1048
00:52:52,280 --> 00:52:55,680
Speaker 1: my feelings don't matter. What matters is seeing the ball

1049
00:52:55,760 --> 00:52:58,319
Speaker 1: snaps with twelve o'clock laces from Nick Moore, seeing them

1050
00:52:58,320 --> 00:53:01,520
Speaker 1: all spotted cleanly for Jordan's stout, his first career game

1051
00:53:01,520 --> 00:53:04,759
Speaker 1: winning hold, and then from there kick the ball kicks

1052
00:53:04,760 --> 00:53:08,040
Speaker 1: itself at that point, and all we're really thinking about

1053
00:53:08,200 --> 00:53:10,640
Speaker 1: is those things that are going to make the kick.

1054
00:53:10,840 --> 00:53:13,680
Speaker 1: All the feelings and stuff, we can enjoy them after

1055
00:53:13,719 --> 00:53:16,959
Speaker 1: the fact. You could blast my family off into outer

1056
00:53:17,000 --> 00:53:19,560
Speaker 1: space with Justin Tucker. I'd be like, we're fine, he's

1057
00:53:19,560 --> 00:53:22,360
Speaker 1: a technician. Listen to that, dude. They say, you know,

1058
00:53:22,400 --> 00:53:23,960
Speaker 1: I know. It's like, it's not cool to say that.

1059
00:53:24,520 --> 00:53:27,000
Speaker 1: What about your family? I'm saying, I trust saying you

1060
00:53:27,160 --> 00:53:30,440
Speaker 1: feel the most running the show terrifying scenario to me

1061
00:53:30,520 --> 00:53:33,319
Speaker 1: that I just thought of outside of something. But you're

1062
00:53:33,360 --> 00:53:36,080
Speaker 1: not gonna see them again? No, they'll come back because

1063
00:53:36,200 --> 00:53:39,120
Speaker 1: just a guy. And what do you say? I'm just saying,

1064
00:53:39,160 --> 00:53:41,200
Speaker 1: after a while, they're in space, what are you gonna do?

1065
00:53:41,239 --> 00:53:43,600
Speaker 1: It could be other problems they do. Daddy, what is this?

1066
00:53:43,680 --> 00:53:47,080
Speaker 1: You're like, your your fantasy novels. I thought they were

1067
00:53:47,080 --> 00:53:49,160
Speaker 1: going to space forever. They're not coming back. I didn't.

1068
00:53:49,280 --> 00:53:51,319
Speaker 1: I mean, you set the template for the fantasy novel.

1069
00:53:51,640 --> 00:53:55,200
Speaker 1: I'm just saying you and you love them, you're gonna

1070
00:53:55,200 --> 00:53:58,319
Speaker 1: have to, you know, give them back. Novels they sell

1071
00:53:58,360 --> 00:54:00,560
Speaker 1: in the back of the drug store. You kept on

1072
00:54:00,560 --> 00:54:04,319
Speaker 1: earth simply because you're ace with Justin Tucker? Are you

1073
00:54:04,360 --> 00:54:06,759
Speaker 1: being kept on Earth the podcast and versus going with

1074
00:54:06,800 --> 00:54:11,960
Speaker 1: your family into space? Right? If if they can't if

1075
00:54:11,960 --> 00:54:14,080
Speaker 1: you can't ever see them again, if you truly love them,

1076
00:54:14,080 --> 00:54:15,319
Speaker 1: I think you have to let it go and then

1077
00:54:15,320 --> 00:54:17,440
Speaker 1: I'm going to change it. I'm sending your wife into space.

1078
00:54:18,040 --> 00:54:20,840
Speaker 1: It's my book. Check it later, Amca, You're going into space.

1079
00:54:21,880 --> 00:54:25,880
Speaker 1: Everything's terrible, but you get to keep the kids. All right,

1080
00:54:26,120 --> 00:54:29,480
Speaker 1: Let's uh, let's move on. I just love Justin Tucker,

1081
00:54:29,600 --> 00:54:31,960
Speaker 1: like even the celebration there. I want to be just

1082
00:54:32,200 --> 00:54:34,000
Speaker 1: It would be great to feel what he feels in

1083
00:54:34,040 --> 00:54:37,080
Speaker 1: that one point three seconds, like he is living. He

1084
00:54:37,239 --> 00:54:40,279
Speaker 1: is pure living in those one point three seconds. You

1085
00:54:40,280 --> 00:54:42,799
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. There's nothing else bothering him. He's

1086
00:54:42,840 --> 00:54:47,040
Speaker 1: just like he is, like at his absolute peak. This

1087
00:54:47,120 --> 00:54:49,120
Speaker 1: sounds like he might be a good focus of our

1088
00:54:49,880 --> 00:54:53,080
Speaker 1: our new segment. Daddy or Zaddy. I think I know

1089
00:54:53,120 --> 00:54:56,040
Speaker 1: where I'm going with that answer. Um, and he's flying

1090
00:54:56,040 --> 00:54:58,760
Speaker 1: into space with your family. So Mark, you got two picks.

1091
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:03,279
Speaker 1: I almost would have picked this in another week number one. Um.

1092
00:55:03,320 --> 00:55:07,879
Speaker 1: It really intrigues me. Bengals at Saints. This is there

1093
00:55:07,920 --> 00:55:09,279
Speaker 1: is a lot going on here because first of all,

1094
00:55:09,280 --> 00:55:12,399
Speaker 1: I think, whoever loses this, assuming they don't tie, Um,

1095
00:55:12,440 --> 00:55:15,320
Speaker 1: if the Bengals start two and four, then last year's

1096
00:55:15,320 --> 00:55:17,680
Speaker 1: magic carpet, right, is a fully out of gas at

1097
00:55:17,680 --> 00:55:22,200
Speaker 1: this point. I mean, and they've petrol I believe, so

1098
00:55:23,680 --> 00:55:26,680
Speaker 1: a special type of petrol in this in my Space novel.

1099
00:55:28,600 --> 00:55:31,839
Speaker 1: How about that. But you talked about the Ravens, like

1100
00:55:31,960 --> 00:55:35,320
Speaker 1: the way that they've lost games. Since these three losses

1101
00:55:35,680 --> 00:55:37,560
Speaker 1: have all come on the final play of the game

1102
00:55:37,960 --> 00:55:40,160
Speaker 1: three or five weeks. That's never happened to a team

1103
00:55:40,200 --> 00:55:42,560
Speaker 1: in the history of the NFL. So it's it's been

1104
00:55:42,600 --> 00:55:45,399
Speaker 1: a strange season for that. It's the god they sort

1105
00:55:45,400 --> 00:55:47,640
Speaker 1: of traded like the way last year ended for this.

1106
00:55:47,800 --> 00:55:49,879
Speaker 1: You're right, except for the superviore right, you know, same

1107
00:55:49,960 --> 00:55:52,960
Speaker 1: for the game that mattered most. But I I just

1108
00:55:53,000 --> 00:55:55,879
Speaker 1: see a team grinding through their issues. You know, it's

1109
00:55:55,920 --> 00:55:58,000
Speaker 1: like they I feel like you're still in a situation

1110
00:55:58,000 --> 00:56:00,600
Speaker 1: where you can teams probably think they and hang back

1111
00:56:01,200 --> 00:56:04,839
Speaker 1: played their cover two and basically challenge the Bengals ground

1112
00:56:04,920 --> 00:56:06,680
Speaker 1: game to awaken, which it did a little bit on

1113
00:56:06,680 --> 00:56:09,279
Speaker 1: Sunday night against the Ravens. But it's not the way

1114
00:56:09,560 --> 00:56:12,480
Speaker 1: it needs to be yet. And I mean Burrow, I

1115
00:56:12,480 --> 00:56:15,000
Speaker 1: think the sack situation, it's he's been a little bit

1116
00:56:15,040 --> 00:56:18,080
Speaker 1: better protected, but the big plays are just not there

1117
00:56:18,080 --> 00:56:20,399
Speaker 1: consistently the way that we're a week a year ago,

1118
00:56:20,680 --> 00:56:22,320
Speaker 1: and so I don't know how the Saints will approach

1119
00:56:22,360 --> 00:56:24,520
Speaker 1: us on defense. I mean, flip side. I just cannot

1120
00:56:24,719 --> 00:56:26,880
Speaker 1: believe what happened with Taysom Hill a week ago is

1121
00:56:26,920 --> 00:56:29,640
Speaker 1: that sustainable? Was that an aberration? And I know that

1122
00:56:29,640 --> 00:56:31,719
Speaker 1: they're gonna use him again and again and again, And

1123
00:56:31,760 --> 00:56:33,759
Speaker 1: it's like, why not if you're talking on Nick Chubb,

1124
00:56:33,800 --> 00:56:36,240
Speaker 1: just use Taysom Hill all you can in a weird

1125
00:56:36,280 --> 00:56:38,680
Speaker 1: offense That's still happen this year. To be fair, he's

1126
00:56:38,719 --> 00:56:42,799
Speaker 1: been pretty consistent in terms of adding some pop. Now

1127
00:56:42,920 --> 00:56:44,680
Speaker 1: he's not gonna add that much pop every week, but

1128
00:56:44,719 --> 00:56:48,000
Speaker 1: he's added every week ten point nine yards per carry.

1129
00:56:48,120 --> 00:56:49,959
Speaker 1: I I look at these two teams and I think

1130
00:56:50,560 --> 00:56:54,520
Speaker 1: the Bengals defense is better. And that just doesn't create

1131
00:56:54,520 --> 00:56:56,680
Speaker 1: a route for the Saints to be a playoff team

1132
00:56:56,719 --> 00:56:58,799
Speaker 1: this year. They are built in a way that their

1133
00:56:58,840 --> 00:57:02,440
Speaker 1: defense has to be estel and now of these two defenses,

1134
00:57:02,600 --> 00:57:06,759
Speaker 1: the Bengals are closer to being special. And uh, it's

1135
00:57:06,800 --> 00:57:09,520
Speaker 1: a It's a matchup of Trey Hendrickson returning back to

1136
00:57:09,840 --> 00:57:13,080
Speaker 1: New Orleans, Joe Burrow returning back to the Superdome where

1137
00:57:13,080 --> 00:57:15,720
Speaker 1: he had some fun times. They could use Trey Hendrickson

1138
00:57:15,800 --> 00:57:19,160
Speaker 1: across from all in this game. Yeah, uh, that was

1139
00:57:19,240 --> 00:57:22,120
Speaker 1: the idealized version of the Taysom Hill experience. But it

1140
00:57:22,160 --> 00:57:24,840
Speaker 1: does show when you use him in a smart way,

1141
00:57:25,240 --> 00:57:27,080
Speaker 1: he can get hot and then all of a sudden

1142
00:57:27,080 --> 00:57:28,760
Speaker 1: the defense doesn't know what to do. But I thought

1143
00:57:28,760 --> 00:57:32,160
Speaker 1: the biggest takeaway from that game is album Kamara was

1144
00:57:32,200 --> 00:57:34,560
Speaker 1: making plays. I was like, oh, there he is. That

1145
00:57:34,680 --> 00:57:37,640
Speaker 1: was like the two thousand twenty album Kamara um d

1146
00:57:37,880 --> 00:57:40,320
Speaker 1: ninety four total yards and that that juice had a

1147
00:57:40,360 --> 00:57:42,320
Speaker 1: kind of electricity that he has when he gets into

1148
00:57:42,360 --> 00:57:44,840
Speaker 1: the second and third level of a defense and he

1149
00:57:44,880 --> 00:57:48,600
Speaker 1: just looks like the fastest, um quickest guy on the field.

1150
00:57:48,640 --> 00:57:50,680
Speaker 1: So I think that's a huge part of this. He's,

1151
00:57:50,760 --> 00:57:53,160
Speaker 1: to me the Jenga pay piece of the offense to

1152
00:57:53,280 --> 00:57:55,560
Speaker 1: use a check is um um. I am a little

1153
00:57:55,560 --> 00:57:58,640
Speaker 1: bit concerned where we at on check the injury report

1154
00:57:58,680 --> 00:58:02,120
Speaker 1: here this Michael to miss injury. It's all of their

1155
00:58:02,200 --> 00:58:05,400
Speaker 1: starning receivers missed practice, so not just Michael Thomas, but

1156
00:58:05,520 --> 00:58:08,960
Speaker 1: Jarvis Landry and Chris Olave who was in the concussion protocol.

1157
00:58:09,040 --> 00:58:12,040
Speaker 1: So that is a major factor. But Jamis Winston did

1158
00:58:12,120 --> 00:58:15,280
Speaker 1: return to practice and may start to game. Yeah, I mean,

1159
00:58:15,320 --> 00:58:17,880
Speaker 1: here's the thing. The reason I high like Michael Thomas.

1160
00:58:17,960 --> 00:58:20,840
Speaker 1: I mean, Chris Olave has been excellent this year. Jarvis Landry,

1161
00:58:20,920 --> 00:58:22,480
Speaker 1: we saw like in week one we were saying, oh,

1162
00:58:22,480 --> 00:58:24,800
Speaker 1: what a pick up, But the guy's got to stay healthy.

1163
00:58:24,840 --> 00:58:27,040
Speaker 1: But Thomas was the guy that he felt like if

1164
00:58:27,080 --> 00:58:28,840
Speaker 1: he is back to be Michael Thomas, and he kind

1165
00:58:28,840 --> 00:58:30,560
Speaker 1: of looked that way in the first two weeks, that

1166
00:58:30,640 --> 00:58:33,080
Speaker 1: he changes their offense and what they can do. So

1167
00:58:33,160 --> 00:58:35,480
Speaker 1: the fact that he's potentially gonna miss his third straight

1168
00:58:35,520 --> 00:58:37,959
Speaker 1: game and it's a foot injury, it's like, oh no,

1169
00:58:38,040 --> 00:58:40,200
Speaker 1: not again. Just something to keep an eye on. And

1170
00:58:40,240 --> 00:58:45,920
Speaker 1: do you want Winston returning with the Dalton slash Taysom Hill.

1171
00:58:46,920 --> 00:58:49,040
Speaker 1: I think the Dalton is probably a better fit for

1172
00:58:49,120 --> 00:58:51,800
Speaker 1: dumping passes off to Alvin Kamara than Jamis Winston was

1173
00:58:51,840 --> 00:58:56,080
Speaker 1: just gonna especially without the three receivers, where if you're

1174
00:58:56,120 --> 00:58:59,760
Speaker 1: starting Callaway and trade Quan Smith, I'd I'd rather have

1175
00:59:00,480 --> 00:59:03,000
Speaker 1: uh Andy Dalton. We should also point out te Higgins.

1176
00:59:03,280 --> 00:59:05,640
Speaker 1: You asked why there's no explosive place Tea Higgins hasn't

1177
00:59:05,640 --> 00:59:08,160
Speaker 1: finished two of these games, and he's not practicing this

1178
00:59:08,200 --> 00:59:10,560
Speaker 1: week either. They're just not the same without Tah and

1179
00:59:10,600 --> 00:59:13,000
Speaker 1: it is I know, Zach, he' zac Taylor gets enough

1180
00:59:13,000 --> 00:59:16,200
Speaker 1: heat from Greg to you know, fill up an entire show.

1181
00:59:16,240 --> 00:59:18,720
Speaker 1: But I'm just saying, part of your job, Zach is

1182
00:59:18,720 --> 00:59:20,400
Speaker 1: to pop the hood on this offense and figure out

1183
00:59:20,400 --> 00:59:23,600
Speaker 1: why Jamar Chase isn't an explosive playmaker anymore. Maybe it

1184
00:59:23,680 --> 00:59:25,680
Speaker 1: is te Higgins, but I thought he was different than that.

1185
00:59:26,040 --> 00:59:27,880
Speaker 1: I didn't think he needed a big time number two

1186
00:59:27,920 --> 00:59:31,080
Speaker 1: to be unlocked. Maybe I don't know a coach player.

1187
00:59:31,480 --> 00:59:35,080
Speaker 1: It's a super Bowl coaches asked weekly calling plays. That's

1188
00:59:35,080 --> 00:59:39,040
Speaker 1: not a great situation. How it's like he's like, oh,

1189
00:59:39,160 --> 00:59:44,760
Speaker 1: it's like a better change my polo. Go ahead Bucks

1190
00:59:44,800 --> 00:59:47,440
Speaker 1: at Steelers. Um, you know, I almost when I when

1191
00:59:47,440 --> 00:59:50,680
Speaker 1: I see this game in my mind, it's Tampa's face,

1192
00:59:51,640 --> 00:59:54,160
Speaker 1: It's Tampa's offense that makes me say, Nope, I can't

1193
00:59:54,160 --> 00:59:56,120
Speaker 1: do it. But there's just not a lot left here

1194
00:59:56,120 --> 00:59:58,600
Speaker 1: on the on this docket, so we will see. I'm

1195
00:59:58,600 --> 01:00:02,760
Speaker 1: meant watching it for Kenny Pickett. I think that are

1196
01:00:02,800 --> 01:00:08,800
Speaker 1: you done? Are you finished? I think I think but

1197
01:00:08,880 --> 01:00:11,320
Speaker 1: I can't promise you, but I think you let me know.

1198
01:00:11,480 --> 01:00:13,280
Speaker 1: I do have a mic, so I can't tell you

1199
01:00:13,320 --> 01:00:14,960
Speaker 1: how my body will react to some of the points.

1200
01:00:14,960 --> 01:00:17,600
Speaker 1: I know you cannot, I thought Pickett. I mean, I

1201
01:00:17,600 --> 01:00:20,360
Speaker 1: know it's been kind of a rough start statistically, but like,

1202
01:00:20,440 --> 01:00:23,880
Speaker 1: if anything, who got George Pickens, Like George Pickens two

1203
01:00:23,920 --> 01:00:26,120
Speaker 1: weeks in a row has a hundred and eighty five

1204
01:00:26,200 --> 01:00:29,160
Speaker 1: yards after having sixty five and three games with Mitch ROBISKI.

1205
01:00:30,160 --> 01:00:32,240
Speaker 1: So I'll hand it over to you, Greg and Dan,

1206
01:00:32,440 --> 01:00:35,160
Speaker 1: you do your little thing now. Wait, it was a dope.

1207
01:00:35,240 --> 01:00:36,560
Speaker 1: I thought it was more like, I don't know what

1208
01:00:36,560 --> 01:00:41,520
Speaker 1: it is like. You have major issues. You have major issues.

1209
01:00:41,600 --> 01:00:43,880
Speaker 1: Go ahead, and Mark go on. I tried, I tried,

1210
01:00:43,920 --> 01:00:46,320
Speaker 1: but now I'll try even harder. Go ahead. I'm watching

1211
01:00:46,320 --> 01:00:47,920
Speaker 1: this for Kenny Pickett. I want to see what he

1212
01:00:47,960 --> 01:00:49,920
Speaker 1: can do. I think this is like the only interesting

1213
01:00:49,960 --> 01:00:52,760
Speaker 1: thing about the Steelers offense and the Bucks offense. I

1214
01:00:52,800 --> 01:00:56,480
Speaker 1: know Tom Brady seven thirty six yards and four touchdown,

1215
01:00:56,560 --> 01:00:58,800
Speaker 1: zero picks over two weeks. It just doesn't look it

1216
01:00:58,920 --> 01:01:01,640
Speaker 1: to me when I'm watching their games. It just seems

1217
01:01:01,640 --> 01:01:04,880
Speaker 1: like a methodical offense where they like to go twelve.

1218
01:01:04,920 --> 01:01:07,520
Speaker 1: Third team plays a lot of Lenny four net catching

1219
01:01:07,560 --> 01:01:10,040
Speaker 1: balls out of the backfield, and I guess it's just

1220
01:01:10,160 --> 01:01:12,480
Speaker 1: they're doing what they can with the injuries they have. Uh,

1221
01:01:12,480 --> 01:01:14,960
Speaker 1: they're getting a little healthier, but this is not a

1222
01:01:15,000 --> 01:01:16,960
Speaker 1: team that looks like they're gonna run rough shot in

1223
01:01:17,040 --> 01:01:19,919
Speaker 1: January and get through anyone. Well there they it looks

1224
01:01:19,920 --> 01:01:22,600
Speaker 1: like that because you know, Russell Gauges averaging seven and

1225
01:01:22,600 --> 01:01:27,160
Speaker 1: a half yards per catch, Godwin is averaging nine point something,

1226
01:01:27,440 --> 01:01:31,480
Speaker 1: so it's it's not good. It's a station to station

1227
01:01:31,560 --> 01:01:36,160
Speaker 1: offense and they're Greg's giving it half the time, so's

1228
01:01:36,240 --> 01:01:38,760
Speaker 1: it's sort of just desserts. The Bucks running backs are

1229
01:01:38,760 --> 01:01:41,360
Speaker 1: dead last in yards per carry their thirty first in

1230
01:01:41,440 --> 01:01:43,520
Speaker 1: yard and I think that explains it, Mark, is that

1231
01:01:43,560 --> 01:01:45,480
Speaker 1: they're running game is so bad that they feel like

1232
01:01:45,520 --> 01:01:48,120
Speaker 1: they have to just keep throwing. And Tom Brady is

1233
01:01:48,200 --> 01:01:50,680
Speaker 1: very good at finding who's open for seven yards, but

1234
01:01:50,760 --> 01:01:53,440
Speaker 1: you're right, they need more explosive places and their defensive

1235
01:01:53,440 --> 01:01:57,680
Speaker 1: backs are really banged up going into this game. I

1236
01:01:57,760 --> 01:02:01,520
Speaker 1: think Murphy Bunting. I think Carton Davis will play in

1237
01:02:01,520 --> 01:02:04,320
Speaker 1: this game, but he was maybe out of practice. So

1238
01:02:04,920 --> 01:02:07,720
Speaker 1: Ryan if they're missing a bunch of players back there.

1239
01:02:07,800 --> 01:02:10,480
Speaker 1: I'm with you. Kenny Pickett couldn't possibly look better for

1240
01:02:10,520 --> 01:02:14,320
Speaker 1: a quarterback who threw three interceptions and a half and

1241
01:02:14,360 --> 01:02:17,320
Speaker 1: then lost thirty eight three. He's actually played pretty well.

1242
01:02:17,320 --> 01:02:19,760
Speaker 1: Like his level of play in this game and a

1243
01:02:19,840 --> 01:02:23,440
Speaker 1: half would have been better than every rookies like average

1244
01:02:23,560 --> 01:02:25,960
Speaker 1: level of play last year except for Mac Jones. Yeah,

1245
01:02:26,080 --> 01:02:29,360
Speaker 1: and Tomlins. He's not gonna acknowledge it because there's no

1246
01:02:29,480 --> 01:02:32,000
Speaker 1: reverse gears in the tank and all that stuff. But

1247
01:02:32,120 --> 01:02:34,520
Speaker 1: he didn't play it right. He should have had. He

1248
01:02:34,600 --> 01:02:37,840
Speaker 1: should have had his young quarterback ready for the Jets

1249
01:02:37,840 --> 01:02:40,640
Speaker 1: at home, and then you go into this gauntlet two

1250
01:02:40,640 --> 01:02:44,000
Speaker 1: weeks in a row Buffalo Tampa. Instead, his first start

1251
01:02:44,120 --> 01:02:46,640
Speaker 1: was a blood bath up in Orchard Park, and now

1252
01:02:46,680 --> 01:02:48,920
Speaker 1: he gets at least a home game against the Tampa defense,

1253
01:02:48,960 --> 01:02:51,960
Speaker 1: though that's been very good other than the Chiefs tobaccle

1254
01:02:52,080 --> 01:02:54,040
Speaker 1: in primetime on Sunday Night a couple of weeks ago.

1255
01:02:54,680 --> 01:02:56,680
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to seeing Kenny Pickett as well. Mark.

1256
01:02:56,720 --> 01:02:58,240
Speaker 1: I just want to see him get a little bit

1257
01:02:58,640 --> 01:03:00,880
Speaker 1: into more fair territory or because I think it's gonna

1258
01:03:00,880 --> 01:03:06,440
Speaker 1: be tough again. I mean to start your two your career, Harris, Uh,

1259
01:03:06,480 --> 01:03:09,960
Speaker 1: you know, first round fantasy pick is not not like good.

1260
01:03:10,040 --> 01:03:12,680
Speaker 1: He had less snaps last week than I mean, he's

1261
01:03:12,720 --> 01:03:17,320
Speaker 1: had a series of injuries that chub getting the ball

1262
01:03:17,360 --> 01:03:19,600
Speaker 1: a little bit more a few more times. Let's take

1263
01:03:19,640 --> 01:03:23,160
Speaker 1: a break. We'll be right back. It's time for the

1264
01:03:23,200 --> 01:03:27,040
Speaker 1: Sunday Drive presented by Toyota. Oh this is even better.

1265
01:03:28,040 --> 01:03:31,640
Speaker 1: Oh this is even better. This draft is just unfolding

1266
01:03:31,680 --> 01:03:35,080
Speaker 1: beautifully because I know what Gregy wants. He's like, oh,

1267
01:03:35,080 --> 01:03:37,840
Speaker 1: this is perfect. They got the everybody's gonna want to

1268
01:03:37,840 --> 01:03:43,040
Speaker 1: watch Buffalo Ksey and my second game in the late window.

1269
01:03:43,240 --> 01:03:46,600
Speaker 1: I could watch Gino, but he won't because I'll be

1270
01:03:46,600 --> 01:03:50,720
Speaker 1: watching them against the Arizona Cardinals. Cardinals at Seattle to

1271
01:03:50,880 --> 01:03:54,400
Speaker 1: two and three teams, but very different vibes to these teams.

1272
01:03:54,400 --> 01:03:56,800
Speaker 1: The Cardinals had a chance to kind of make a

1273
01:03:56,840 --> 01:04:00,280
Speaker 1: big statement against the Eagles, had him set up. And

1274
01:04:01,440 --> 01:04:04,160
Speaker 1: I don't know whatever happened with um with a down

1275
01:04:04,200 --> 01:04:07,000
Speaker 1: gate with Arizona, because I know there was some speculation

1276
01:04:07,080 --> 01:04:08,920
Speaker 1: that Sunday night, but then I read I read a

1277
01:04:08,920 --> 01:04:12,000
Speaker 1: little bit, and I didn't see any talk about there

1278
01:04:12,000 --> 01:04:15,320
Speaker 1: being issues in the stadium with there were but I

1279
01:04:15,320 --> 01:04:20,280
Speaker 1: mean Cliff Kingsbury took responsibility, Kyler did. Kyler also pointed

1280
01:04:20,320 --> 01:04:22,840
Speaker 1: fingers that everyone but himself, like during that whole game,

1281
01:04:23,200 --> 01:04:25,520
Speaker 1: I think that I think he has been doing that

1282
01:04:25,560 --> 01:04:27,920
Speaker 1: and like he basically said, everyone told him, you know,

1283
01:04:28,000 --> 01:04:29,960
Speaker 1: down it down it like it's it's first down. So

1284
01:04:30,000 --> 01:04:33,080
Speaker 1: there's just massive miscommunication, which is essentially played the Cardinals

1285
01:04:33,240 --> 01:04:36,080
Speaker 1: for me to see all season, right, And so here

1286
01:04:36,120 --> 01:04:38,640
Speaker 1: we are now they have a chance to get back

1287
01:04:38,680 --> 01:04:42,840
Speaker 1: to five against a Seahawks team that obviously is getting

1288
01:04:43,720 --> 01:04:47,400
Speaker 1: incredible production out of the quarterback position in Gino Smith.

1289
01:04:47,880 --> 01:04:51,040
Speaker 1: And uh, we'll see if that continues um through the

1290
01:04:51,080 --> 01:04:52,880
Speaker 1: season or if it's just a hot start. But it's

1291
01:04:52,920 --> 01:04:56,560
Speaker 1: even like Greg, you're watching the Seahawks last week, he

1292
01:04:56,600 --> 01:04:58,600
Speaker 1: had another big game, Gino, And it could have been

1293
01:04:58,600 --> 01:05:00,640
Speaker 1: even bigger if a couple of things has went a

1294
01:05:00,680 --> 01:05:03,840
Speaker 1: different way. Dka didn't hold out onto one ball in

1295
01:05:03,880 --> 01:05:06,880
Speaker 1: the end zone, they had another long touchdown, wiped away

1296
01:05:06,920 --> 01:05:10,960
Speaker 1: a d K touchdown by holding penalty. So he's playing

1297
01:05:11,000 --> 01:05:13,280
Speaker 1: at a high level right now. Gino. You can't. You

1298
01:05:13,320 --> 01:05:16,120
Speaker 1: can't hide from it. I certainly won't. Uh, they have

1299
01:05:16,680 --> 01:05:18,640
Speaker 1: they lost a shot penny for the year and that hurts.

1300
01:05:18,640 --> 01:05:21,040
Speaker 1: But I still think they're going to score points because

1301
01:05:21,040 --> 01:05:23,480
Speaker 1: that's what they've done pretty much all year, especially the

1302
01:05:23,520 --> 01:05:25,280
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks. There's nothing you could say they're

1303
01:05:25,280 --> 01:05:28,720
Speaker 1: playing great. The question is will Kyler Murray and the

1304
01:05:28,760 --> 01:05:33,240
Speaker 1: Arizona offense Hollywood Brown. You have DeAndre Hopkins not quite back,

1305
01:05:33,280 --> 01:05:36,280
Speaker 1: but he's getting there. Everyone scores against Seattle Can Arizona.

1306
01:05:36,320 --> 01:05:38,680
Speaker 1: If they can't, it's a major issue, right. I think

1307
01:05:38,680 --> 01:05:42,200
Speaker 1: they can. I think getting Rondale Moore back was important

1308
01:05:42,280 --> 01:05:45,320
Speaker 1: because this feels like a players not plays team. They

1309
01:05:45,360 --> 01:05:49,640
Speaker 1: just don't make great play calls that like get guys open.

1310
01:05:49,920 --> 01:05:53,000
Speaker 1: They dink and dunk like Gino Smith throws the ball

1311
01:05:53,040 --> 01:05:56,360
Speaker 1: down the field. Kyler Murray does not. Something is wrong

1312
01:05:56,560 --> 01:06:00,560
Speaker 1: in that equation. Uh, They're just such a station to

1313
01:06:00,640 --> 01:06:04,280
Speaker 1: station offense. But Hollywood Brown is so good he makes

1314
01:06:04,320 --> 01:06:08,480
Speaker 1: people miss. Rondelle Moore helps. Yeah, that third and seventeen conversion.

1315
01:06:08,480 --> 01:06:11,000
Speaker 1: More had a week ago change that game, Isaiah Simmons

1316
01:06:11,040 --> 01:06:13,960
Speaker 1: was back to playing a full compliment of snaps. J. J.

1317
01:06:14,080 --> 01:06:17,960
Speaker 1: Watt and Zach Allen have been a nice pair upfront.

1318
01:06:18,280 --> 01:06:20,840
Speaker 1: I really struggled to pick this game. I took the

1319
01:06:20,840 --> 01:06:23,200
Speaker 1: Cardinals in the I'm starting to feel like a Seahawks

1320
01:06:23,200 --> 01:06:26,960
Speaker 1: fan just generally, I think. And they're frustrating though, Like,

1321
01:06:27,200 --> 01:06:30,400
Speaker 1: just give me something to hold on to defensively, give

1322
01:06:30,400 --> 01:06:33,680
Speaker 1: me something like how can they need to score thirty

1323
01:06:33,680 --> 01:06:35,760
Speaker 1: eight points a week? He was that was the best

1324
01:06:35,800 --> 01:06:37,800
Speaker 1: game Gino Smith has ever had in his career and

1325
01:06:37,800 --> 01:06:39,880
Speaker 1: they didn't win. I mean by far that he had

1326
01:06:39,880 --> 01:06:43,080
Speaker 1: four or five throws that were Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes

1327
01:06:43,080 --> 01:06:45,080
Speaker 1: type of throws. If they had made those throws, You're like,

1328
01:06:45,120 --> 01:06:48,000
Speaker 1: that is incredible, and they still find a way to lose.

1329
01:06:48,240 --> 01:06:50,440
Speaker 1: They aren't see any Dalton and a bunch of backup

1330
01:06:50,480 --> 01:06:53,640
Speaker 1: wide receivers. Every week. They're allowing nearly three points per

1331
01:06:53,720 --> 01:06:56,440
Speaker 1: drive at two point nine six and through five games,

1332
01:06:56,760 --> 01:06:59,360
Speaker 1: that is um the third worst since the dawn of

1333
01:06:59,400 --> 01:07:02,200
Speaker 1: the century. Kind of what's that? That's crazy? I mean,

1334
01:07:02,200 --> 01:07:04,280
Speaker 1: that's hard. It's a good way to measure it. That's hard.

1335
01:07:04,280 --> 01:07:05,840
Speaker 1: I think points for dry r and I think that's

1336
01:07:05,840 --> 01:07:08,320
Speaker 1: hard to do. And that's I'm with you on the

1337
01:07:08,400 --> 01:07:11,280
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray front. If it is not this week against

1338
01:07:11,320 --> 01:07:13,840
Speaker 1: this defense, then when is it and who are you

1339
01:07:14,120 --> 01:07:17,840
Speaker 1: because they have been on non vertical offense marks Hollywood.

1340
01:07:17,840 --> 01:07:20,320
Speaker 1: Brann has worked well with Kyler, but the rest of it,

1341
01:07:20,320 --> 01:07:22,800
Speaker 1: it's just vertically. He of all starting quarterbacks, would you

1342
01:07:22,800 --> 01:07:24,760
Speaker 1: have ever thought we'd be here in week six and

1343
01:07:24,840 --> 01:07:27,560
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray would be sitting there at five point eight

1344
01:07:27,600 --> 01:07:31,080
Speaker 1: yards per attempt, the lowest among any starter. And it's

1345
01:07:31,360 --> 01:07:33,640
Speaker 1: that way. And the other thing for me is if

1346
01:07:33,640 --> 01:07:37,280
Speaker 1: you're gonna do it this week in the index right now? Well,

1347
01:07:37,320 --> 01:07:38,640
Speaker 1: you know the thing is like I think a lot

1348
01:07:38,680 --> 01:07:40,440
Speaker 1: of it is offense, but I have them outside the

1349
01:07:40,480 --> 01:07:42,880
Speaker 1: top ten at this point. Like he's just he was

1350
01:07:42,880 --> 01:07:48,040
Speaker 1: about Garoppolo. Well, Garoppolo to me has played well two

1351
01:07:48,080 --> 01:07:50,000
Speaker 1: weeks in a row. I mean very well. And I

1352
01:07:50,040 --> 01:07:52,760
Speaker 1: think that they don't question the no that but that's

1353
01:07:52,760 --> 01:07:56,080
Speaker 1: what I I know what shocking means. Yeah, I would

1354
01:07:56,120 --> 01:07:58,720
Speaker 1: not have him in the time. I don't think I

1355
01:07:58,720 --> 01:08:00,360
Speaker 1: think others would disagree with me to you, But I'm

1356
01:08:00,360 --> 01:08:03,000
Speaker 1: just saying your Cardinals slow starts week after week. Last

1357
01:08:03,000 --> 01:08:05,840
Speaker 1: week against the Eagles fifty yards on our first four drives.

1358
01:08:06,120 --> 01:08:07,800
Speaker 1: You've got to get out to a fast start against

1359
01:08:07,800 --> 01:08:10,160
Speaker 1: a terrible defense and show us. You can do something

1360
01:08:10,160 --> 01:08:11,920
Speaker 1: here in Seattle. The game for these two teams. I

1361
01:08:11,960 --> 01:08:15,600
Speaker 1: know it doesn't feel sexy, but one of these teams

1362
01:08:15,600 --> 01:08:17,840
Speaker 1: gotta be three and three. The d NFC is not great.

1363
01:08:18,040 --> 01:08:20,760
Speaker 1: I think it is wide open for one of these

1364
01:08:20,760 --> 01:08:22,759
Speaker 1: teams to be a wild card team, and I why

1365
01:08:22,880 --> 01:08:27,559
Speaker 1: not the Seahawks. That was the Sunday Drive presented by Toyota. Also,

1366
01:08:27,640 --> 01:08:30,679
Speaker 1: you know, for the what is it the ninth overall

1367
01:08:30,720 --> 01:08:33,840
Speaker 1: pick in the draft that includes Gino Smith, Greg's new

1368
01:08:33,880 --> 01:08:36,719
Speaker 1: quote unquote favorite team and a big game for both teams,

1369
01:08:36,720 --> 01:08:38,519
Speaker 1: and yet Greg was like, no, this wasn't the game

1370
01:08:38,560 --> 01:08:40,960
Speaker 1: I was gonna pick. It wasn't. So I am a

1371
01:08:41,080 --> 01:08:44,960
Speaker 1: strategic band. Bills and Chiefs are late. I'd actually rather

1372
01:08:45,000 --> 01:08:48,479
Speaker 1: have the Dog Panthers Rams game as my game so

1373
01:08:48,520 --> 01:08:50,479
Speaker 1: I can still kind of keep an eye on Bill's

1374
01:08:50,560 --> 01:08:52,600
Speaker 1: Chiefs here and then I can watch, you know, on

1375
01:08:52,800 --> 01:08:57,880
Speaker 1: game pass and really focus it and enjoy. I could,

1376
01:08:57,960 --> 01:09:00,320
Speaker 1: but I wouldn't rewatch it on game passes only so

1377
01:09:00,360 --> 01:09:02,200
Speaker 1: much time in the week, you know, so this way

1378
01:09:02,240 --> 01:09:05,200
Speaker 1: I can really savor it. So this this Carol line

1379
01:09:05,200 --> 01:09:07,760
Speaker 1: of l a game we should you shouldn't like, say

1380
01:09:07,840 --> 01:09:09,599
Speaker 1: much on the Sunday Night joke, because you won't really

1381
01:09:09,640 --> 01:09:13,880
Speaker 1: be watching I will be watching it. I'm taking Panthers

1382
01:09:14,120 --> 01:09:17,200
Speaker 1: rams like that's his responsibility on something, it's his job.

1383
01:09:17,280 --> 01:09:19,519
Speaker 1: If he's he's telling us he's not going to really

1384
01:09:19,520 --> 01:09:23,240
Speaker 1: watch Professional or Hammond Egger. I'm not like Mark who

1385
01:09:23,240 --> 01:09:25,720
Speaker 1: has eight screens up, but I will have too, and

1386
01:09:25,760 --> 01:09:28,519
Speaker 1: so those two will be on Panther's rams, which will

1387
01:09:28,520 --> 01:09:31,519
Speaker 1: get my primary focus and Bill's chiefs, and I'm able

1388
01:09:31,560 --> 01:09:33,479
Speaker 1: to watch two games. I think you could watch two.

1389
01:09:33,720 --> 01:09:35,320
Speaker 1: Would you disagree? But you want to be in like

1390
01:09:35,360 --> 01:09:38,639
Speaker 1: a bubble bath at home with the rose pedals around

1391
01:09:38,640 --> 01:09:41,320
Speaker 1: you watching Gino? Yeah, kind of because I watched them

1392
01:09:41,320 --> 01:09:43,800
Speaker 1: live last week in a two games. You know, most

1393
01:09:43,840 --> 01:09:45,880
Speaker 1: people I would say that's ridiculous and you're lying. But

1394
01:09:45,960 --> 01:09:49,000
Speaker 1: I actually can picture Greg. I can see with with

1395
01:09:49,000 --> 01:09:53,439
Speaker 1: with like a haze of smoke in the brother you know,

1396
01:09:54,400 --> 01:09:57,680
Speaker 1: in the next half. I guess, like Kenny G. Sacks type,

1397
01:09:58,000 --> 01:10:02,200
Speaker 1: this is a big moment for Rams, not only Wife's

1398
01:10:02,200 --> 01:10:06,519
Speaker 1: in space, justin Tucker coming back. I mean the the

1399
01:10:06,680 --> 01:10:09,719
Speaker 1: Rams might lose my my wife, my wife uh and

1400
01:10:09,720 --> 01:10:13,280
Speaker 1: and my daughter. They won't my Amica's loyal uh, I

1401
01:10:13,320 --> 01:10:16,120
Speaker 1: didn't kill my wife loyal, But man, if they lose

1402
01:10:16,160 --> 01:10:18,000
Speaker 1: to the Panthers and go into the bye week two

1403
01:10:18,000 --> 01:10:21,000
Speaker 1: and four, it goes from a you're one of the

1404
01:10:21,080 --> 01:10:23,840
Speaker 1: stories of the league and you're quite disappointing to this

1405
01:10:23,960 --> 01:10:26,679
Speaker 1: is a disaster. You are the story of the league.

1406
01:10:26,760 --> 01:10:29,200
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if you're coming back. And and they're

1407
01:10:29,240 --> 01:10:31,280
Speaker 1: ten and a half point favorites this week, which is

1408
01:10:31,720 --> 01:10:35,200
Speaker 1: crazy to me. The Rams have been getting an insane

1409
01:10:35,200 --> 01:10:39,200
Speaker 1: amount of benefit of the doubt in Vegas all year.

1410
01:10:39,320 --> 01:10:42,160
Speaker 1: It makes no sense. I think they get a little

1411
01:10:42,200 --> 01:10:44,799
Speaker 1: boost in Carolina from getting Baker out of the lineup,

1412
01:10:44,880 --> 01:10:47,479
Speaker 1: and more importantly from getting a new head coach. There's

1413
01:10:47,560 --> 01:10:50,200
Speaker 1: usually that boost for like one week. Steve Wilkes is

1414
01:10:50,240 --> 01:10:53,000
Speaker 1: a defensive coach, that's where their talent is, and they're

1415
01:10:53,040 --> 01:10:56,400
Speaker 1: going up against a Ram's offense who's just not trusted

1416
01:10:56,920 --> 01:10:59,200
Speaker 1: to protect Stafford. So to me, this game is probably

1417
01:10:59,240 --> 01:11:01,160
Speaker 1: a one score game. I'm still taking the Rams, but

1418
01:11:01,200 --> 01:11:04,040
Speaker 1: I'm not expecting some blowout that it will require a

1419
01:11:04,120 --> 01:11:06,960
Speaker 1: Carolina to score points. With p J Walker, who I

1420
01:11:07,000 --> 01:11:09,639
Speaker 1: think he shows he's shown a few things and two starts,

1421
01:11:09,840 --> 01:11:12,040
Speaker 1: he also has eight interceptions over just a hundred and

1422
01:11:12,040 --> 01:11:14,680
Speaker 1: twenty two attempts. So he's an XFL star, and I

1423
01:11:14,720 --> 01:11:17,720
Speaker 1: don't love the situation against a Rams defense that is

1424
01:11:17,760 --> 01:11:20,760
Speaker 1: still star heavy. There thirty two, there's thirty second in

1425
01:11:20,880 --> 01:11:25,880
Speaker 1: yards per drive Panthers, I mean they've been a mess. Um.

1426
01:11:25,960 --> 01:11:29,559
Speaker 1: I get that removing Baker is a positive theoretically, but

1427
01:11:29,760 --> 01:11:32,439
Speaker 1: is p J. Walker a big step up? I don't know, Like,

1428
01:11:32,520 --> 01:11:34,519
Speaker 1: how about be the some of your parts? Like you

1429
01:11:34,560 --> 01:11:36,320
Speaker 1: do have a couple of skill position players on this

1430
01:11:36,400 --> 01:11:39,920
Speaker 1: offense and just simply have evaporated and gone invisible under

1431
01:11:39,960 --> 01:11:42,920
Speaker 1: bad quarterback play. But I mean this also feels like

1432
01:11:42,960 --> 01:11:45,080
Speaker 1: a get right game for the Rams on some level

1433
01:11:45,240 --> 01:11:47,479
Speaker 1: if you can keep Matthew Stafford up. I'm watching him

1434
01:11:47,479 --> 01:11:50,080
Speaker 1: week after week and thinking does this guy survive the season?

1435
01:11:50,120 --> 01:11:52,880
Speaker 1: The Rams are gonna win by three touchdowns. We have

1436
01:11:53,080 --> 01:11:56,200
Speaker 1: had Steve Wish on the Power Ranking Show UH this

1437
01:11:56,240 --> 01:11:59,160
Speaker 1: week and it was excellent. Check out the podcast UH

1438
01:11:59,200 --> 01:12:01,639
Speaker 1: because Steve always so many good takes, and Steve made

1439
01:12:01,640 --> 01:12:04,800
Speaker 1: the point, you know, things are very bad. Obviously, it's

1440
01:12:04,840 --> 01:12:07,960
Speaker 1: an unsettled situation. The coach got just got fired. Sometimes

1441
01:12:07,960 --> 01:12:10,719
Speaker 1: you can say, oh what about the interim coach boost

1442
01:12:10,720 --> 01:12:12,960
Speaker 1: a little bump that you get the week after. But

1443
01:12:13,040 --> 01:12:15,920
Speaker 1: the situation that the Panthers Wilkes is not set up

1444
01:12:15,960 --> 01:12:19,240
Speaker 1: to succeed or carry on beyond this season. You're now

1445
01:12:19,280 --> 01:12:21,840
Speaker 1: in the situation where all the other coaches, everyone's picking

1446
01:12:21,880 --> 01:12:23,559
Speaker 1: up the phone now and talking to their agent and

1447
01:12:23,720 --> 01:12:26,439
Speaker 1: checking around and looking toward the future. This is a

1448
01:12:26,439 --> 01:12:29,400
Speaker 1: ship that is has already sinking and is about to

1449
01:12:29,439 --> 01:12:33,720
Speaker 1: go under. And given p J Walker being the quarterback

1450
01:12:33,720 --> 01:12:36,160
Speaker 1: now on top of the Rams desperately needing the win.

1451
01:12:36,240 --> 01:12:37,720
Speaker 1: And I know they're not the Rams that they were

1452
01:12:37,760 --> 01:12:41,080
Speaker 1: in January and February, but this is a perfect spot

1453
01:12:41,120 --> 01:12:43,720
Speaker 1: for l A to to kick some butt, feel better

1454
01:12:43,760 --> 01:12:46,920
Speaker 1: about itself and move forward. So it's even a game

1455
01:12:46,920 --> 01:12:50,680
Speaker 1: where they can win thirty four to ten, and you're

1456
01:12:50,720 --> 01:12:53,160
Speaker 1: not like, oh, the Rams are fixed, because the Panthers are.

1457
01:12:53,560 --> 01:12:55,720
Speaker 1: They basically exist now to be a get right team.

1458
01:12:55,720 --> 01:12:58,720
Speaker 1: Their number thirty two in the power rankings. Um, So

1459
01:12:58,840 --> 01:13:01,080
Speaker 1: that's what I see. I don't see a close game, Greg,

1460
01:13:01,200 --> 01:13:03,439
Speaker 1: And if it is a close game, you're right, we

1461
01:13:03,520 --> 01:13:07,360
Speaker 1: are edging into boondoggle territory. Well, they're they're getting into

1462
01:13:07,360 --> 01:13:09,599
Speaker 1: a bye at the very least of You cannot lose

1463
01:13:09,680 --> 01:13:11,320
Speaker 1: this right, you can't lose it. But as long as

1464
01:13:11,360 --> 01:13:13,800
Speaker 1: you pocket a win, you get into the bye, you

1465
01:13:13,840 --> 01:13:16,519
Speaker 1: feel better about themselves. They're still banged up on the

1466
01:13:16,560 --> 01:13:21,160
Speaker 1: offensive line, Brian Allen. Their center isn't practicing. I believe

1467
01:13:21,320 --> 01:13:26,160
Speaker 1: their guard Edwards is still in concussion protocol. So I

1468
01:13:26,200 --> 01:13:28,599
Speaker 1: don't I don't trust him. And Steve Wilkes has got

1469
01:13:28,600 --> 01:13:30,720
Speaker 1: to change up this defense. He we didn't mention it,

1470
01:13:30,760 --> 01:13:33,679
Speaker 1: but he fired the defensive coordinator, Phil Snow. The snow

1471
01:13:33,760 --> 01:13:37,439
Speaker 1: but Heat fired Yeah, I think, yeah, I mean that's

1472
01:13:37,439 --> 01:13:39,519
Speaker 1: pretty rough. He basically said, we need to make change

1473
01:13:39,520 --> 01:13:41,920
Speaker 1: a special team's assistant to I mean, they're making I think.

1474
01:13:41,960 --> 01:13:44,360
Speaker 1: What happens in my guess, and there wasn't reporting on

1475
01:13:44,400 --> 01:13:46,400
Speaker 1: this is that he probably had a conversation Snow is

1476
01:13:46,439 --> 01:13:49,479
Speaker 1: running with defense, and Snow wanted to do things the

1477
01:13:49,479 --> 01:13:51,720
Speaker 1: way Snow wanted to do him. Wilkes is defensive guy,

1478
01:13:51,720 --> 01:13:56,640
Speaker 1: and he's like this nature does not predictable and it

1479
01:13:56,680 --> 01:13:59,120
Speaker 1: does not listen to outsiders. I'm nature. I don't care

1480
01:13:59,160 --> 01:14:01,639
Speaker 1: if you're like, I could still cash these checks by

1481
01:14:01,680 --> 01:14:03,760
Speaker 1: not working for the Panthers. I'm may be cold, no

1482
01:14:03,760 --> 01:14:05,559
Speaker 1: matter what might, go ahead and do that so you

1483
01:14:05,600 --> 01:14:06,880
Speaker 1: can tell me what to do or not to do.

1484
01:14:06,920 --> 01:14:12,679
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be who I am. I'm snow Greg. Let's

1485
01:14:12,680 --> 01:14:14,840
Speaker 1: wrap this thing up. I think there's only one game

1486
01:14:15,800 --> 01:14:19,200
Speaker 1: to Vikings and Dolphins are out there. I'm taking that.

1487
01:14:19,200 --> 01:14:22,479
Speaker 1: That's pretty interesting. Sorry, I was wanting, I was hoping

1488
01:14:22,479 --> 01:14:24,360
Speaker 1: that would fall. I'm gonna ask you for your help

1489
01:14:24,439 --> 01:14:27,519
Speaker 1: for the third early game I have. I wanted to

1490
01:14:27,560 --> 01:14:30,000
Speaker 1: send you a hot one there, but you're stuck watching

1491
01:14:30,000 --> 01:14:32,840
Speaker 1: the f C seth. I'd rather watch the Yeah you

1492
01:14:32,880 --> 01:14:35,479
Speaker 1: do love the South, that's right. Yeah he has he

1493
01:14:35,520 --> 01:14:38,120
Speaker 1: has the Colts as his last place team. Uh As

1494
01:14:38,120 --> 01:14:40,920
Speaker 1: I go get my lunch, So you got you gotta

1495
01:14:41,000 --> 01:14:45,120
Speaker 1: keep up with the neighbors, the vagrants that are system.

1496
01:14:45,160 --> 01:14:49,920
Speaker 1: It's also essentially the Mr. Irrelevant picks and the following week,

1497
01:14:49,960 --> 01:14:52,320
Speaker 1: so I gotta be on it. Wow. Plus this is

1498
01:14:52,320 --> 01:14:55,559
Speaker 1: a shot game Vikings Dolphins. Skyler Thompson will be starting

1499
01:14:55,600 --> 01:14:59,040
Speaker 1: this week. I found it very interesting that to Uh

1500
01:14:59,200 --> 01:15:01,280
Speaker 1: is able to pray this a little bit, but they

1501
01:15:01,320 --> 01:15:04,800
Speaker 1: know he's not gonna play. That's what coach Mike McDaniel said.

1502
01:15:05,080 --> 01:15:08,240
Speaker 1: But Teddy, who's not practicing. There's actually hope that he

1503
01:15:08,240 --> 01:15:10,960
Speaker 1: will get out of the concussion protocol and be ready

1504
01:15:11,040 --> 01:15:13,519
Speaker 1: to be the backup. But they liked the idea of

1505
01:15:13,560 --> 01:15:16,519
Speaker 1: Skyler Thompson with a week's worth of practice and game

1506
01:15:16,560 --> 01:15:19,960
Speaker 1: planning a minute over Teddy who's not going to be practicing.

1507
01:15:20,040 --> 01:15:22,479
Speaker 1: It kind of makes sense to me, though, if if

1508
01:15:22,520 --> 01:15:25,000
Speaker 1: you can get this guy ready and they really love

1509
01:15:25,560 --> 01:15:29,759
Speaker 1: how he operates. Um Between, Daniel loved him in the preseason.

1510
01:15:29,800 --> 01:15:31,920
Speaker 1: They loved him, and I think they look at it

1511
01:15:31,960 --> 01:15:33,760
Speaker 1: like putting him in mid game is one thing, but

1512
01:15:33,800 --> 01:15:35,679
Speaker 1: if they can get him ready to play, that's better

1513
01:15:35,720 --> 01:15:39,679
Speaker 1: than Teddy coming off a concussion. So here's the thing, Greggy.

1514
01:15:40,160 --> 01:15:43,400
Speaker 1: They they signed a one year, six and a half

1515
01:15:43,479 --> 01:15:49,040
Speaker 1: million dollar deal for Teddy. Right. That's a little strange

1516
01:15:49,080 --> 01:15:51,200
Speaker 1: to me that he would not play in this game

1517
01:15:51,240 --> 01:15:53,559
Speaker 1: if he was ready to play. I'm not surprised by

1518
01:15:53,560 --> 01:15:55,280
Speaker 1: anything I'm here about too. Obviously, they are in an

1519
01:15:55,280 --> 01:15:58,759
Speaker 1: impossible situation given the back story there, so they're gonna

1520
01:15:58,800 --> 01:16:02,599
Speaker 1: be extra cautious with him. Um if for no other

1521
01:16:02,640 --> 01:16:06,960
Speaker 1: reason the PR game, in addition to his health. Um,

1522
01:16:07,000 --> 01:16:08,720
Speaker 1: but that would surprise me. But I will say this though,

1523
01:16:08,760 --> 01:16:11,240
Speaker 1: Skyler Thompson played pretty well against the Jets. There were times,

1524
01:16:11,320 --> 01:16:13,640
Speaker 1: especially later in the game, when things started to go sideways,

1525
01:16:13,840 --> 01:16:16,960
Speaker 1: when he looked like a kid who was in over

1526
01:16:17,040 --> 01:16:18,880
Speaker 1: his head holding the ball too long, have to turn

1527
01:16:18,960 --> 01:16:21,719
Speaker 1: over on a sack fumble that essentially ended that game.

1528
01:16:22,160 --> 01:16:24,960
Speaker 1: But I could see a young coach like McDaniels saying,

1529
01:16:25,000 --> 01:16:26,200
Speaker 1: I like this guy, I don't want to get a

1530
01:16:26,240 --> 01:16:29,360
Speaker 1: longer look. It makes sense to right, he wasn't afraid.

1531
01:16:29,960 --> 01:16:31,920
Speaker 1: You mentioned on the deep shots he took that he

1532
01:16:31,960 --> 01:16:34,800
Speaker 1: got past there. You know the ball does not come

1533
01:16:35,320 --> 01:16:37,760
Speaker 1: flying out of his hand. I would say this is

1534
01:16:37,800 --> 01:16:40,599
Speaker 1: not a team full of guys with huge arms. That's

1535
01:16:40,600 --> 01:16:43,400
Speaker 1: not what Mike McDaniel looks for. But Skyler Thompson's a

1536
01:16:43,479 --> 01:16:46,479
Speaker 1: tick below two UH and Teddy for sure when it

1537
01:16:46,520 --> 01:16:48,479
Speaker 1: comes to arm strength. But how many points are you

1538
01:16:48,479 --> 01:16:51,360
Speaker 1: gonna need in this game? I it could be a lot,

1539
01:16:51,439 --> 01:16:56,080
Speaker 1: because the Dolphins defense has quietly been a total disappointment

1540
01:16:56,160 --> 01:16:58,080
Speaker 1: and is the reason why they've lost a couple of

1541
01:16:58,160 --> 01:17:00,840
Speaker 1: games here. They are thirty in the league in terms

1542
01:17:00,880 --> 01:17:03,240
Speaker 1: of third down defense, thirty one in the league and

1543
01:17:03,360 --> 01:17:07,280
Speaker 1: yards per drive allowed UH. Without xaving Howard, they are

1544
01:17:07,600 --> 01:17:11,000
Speaker 1: very thin at cornerback, very thin. It looks like Howard

1545
01:17:11,000 --> 01:17:12,880
Speaker 1: will return this week, which would be big for them,

1546
01:17:13,600 --> 01:17:16,600
Speaker 1: but their defense, which you would think would cook up

1547
01:17:16,680 --> 01:17:19,040
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins in a normal scenario. They've been so good

1548
01:17:19,040 --> 01:17:21,719
Speaker 1: at blitzing and being creative. Hasn't really had their mojo

1549
01:17:21,800 --> 01:17:23,280
Speaker 1: at all this year. It's been a difference for this

1550
01:17:23,360 --> 01:17:27,280
Speaker 1: Benny Cousins um statistically struggles against the blitz, he struggles

1551
01:17:27,280 --> 01:17:29,479
Speaker 1: against man coverage. That's what the Dolphins want to do.

1552
01:17:29,720 --> 01:17:31,880
Speaker 1: The combo of those would make Cousins not a great

1553
01:17:31,920 --> 01:17:35,040
Speaker 1: drawl here, but you have justin Jefferson, and if it

1554
01:17:35,120 --> 01:17:37,120
Speaker 1: just depends, we get this version of Kirk Cousins where

1555
01:17:37,160 --> 01:17:39,960
Speaker 1: he goes seventeen for seventeen. It looks like a top

1556
01:17:40,000 --> 01:17:42,280
Speaker 1: five quarterback with weapons around him, and then they go

1557
01:17:42,400 --> 01:17:45,240
Speaker 1: totally dark into a deep nap for two quarters. It's

1558
01:17:45,240 --> 01:17:47,519
Speaker 1: like they're very streaky. I mean, that game was a

1559
01:17:47,560 --> 01:17:50,000
Speaker 1: little bit weird when I rewatched it. They they had

1560
01:17:50,240 --> 01:17:53,320
Speaker 1: a missfield goal, a block field goal, and then scored

1561
01:17:53,360 --> 01:17:55,160
Speaker 1: the touchdown to win it, So it wasn't like the

1562
01:17:55,600 --> 01:17:59,880
Speaker 1: total but he was money on that final drive to

1563
01:18:00,080 --> 01:18:02,479
Speaker 1: so and then they got the big stop on defense.

1564
01:18:02,520 --> 01:18:04,960
Speaker 1: Minnesota is a four and one team that is tough

1565
01:18:05,000 --> 01:18:07,120
Speaker 1: to kind of trust, but they are what their record

1566
01:18:07,200 --> 01:18:09,080
Speaker 1: is and I think they'll win this game. Is we're

1567
01:18:09,160 --> 01:18:11,960
Speaker 1: favored by three in this game is a tough I

1568
01:18:11,960 --> 01:18:14,080
Speaker 1: have one question for you on on Dan, how you

1569
01:18:14,200 --> 01:18:17,479
Speaker 1: view this the Tyreek Hill ripped into the locker room

1570
01:18:17,479 --> 01:18:19,680
Speaker 1: and removed the ping pong table. I mean that to

1571
01:18:19,720 --> 01:18:23,240
Speaker 1: me is the most absurd story over Yeah. I mean

1572
01:18:23,240 --> 01:18:26,559
Speaker 1: it tells me kind of like that was my last

1573
01:18:26,560 --> 01:18:28,000
Speaker 1: comment I was going to have on this game that

1574
01:18:28,040 --> 01:18:30,439
Speaker 1: I think that it's over for the Dolphins when I

1575
01:18:30,439 --> 01:18:33,120
Speaker 1: saw the headline. We're also a Jets fan on the heels, No,

1576
01:18:33,360 --> 01:18:35,920
Speaker 1: but just hold tight on this one. See what happens

1577
01:18:35,920 --> 01:18:37,720
Speaker 1: on the heels of a two game losing streak. This

1578
01:18:37,800 --> 01:18:42,759
Speaker 1: is from ESPN. Team captains including Tyreek Hill, Tehron Armstead,

1579
01:18:42,960 --> 01:18:48,080
Speaker 1: Xavian Howard, London Roberts, and Yavan Javon Holland decided the

1580
01:18:48,120 --> 01:18:51,799
Speaker 1: Dolphins locker room needed to refocus in preparation for Sunday's

1581
01:18:51,840 --> 01:18:55,280
Speaker 1: game against the Minnesota Vikings, so they removed the centrally

1582
01:18:55,360 --> 01:18:59,360
Speaker 1: located ping pong table from the locker room. Coach Mike

1583
01:18:59,439 --> 01:19:02,719
Speaker 1: McDaniels said of the announcement, he was pretty pumped about

1584
01:19:02,720 --> 01:19:12,760
Speaker 1: the decision. To him, I also agree with everything you

1585
01:19:12,760 --> 01:19:15,799
Speaker 1: guys said, Skyler Thompson. Give me a break this Dolphins

1586
01:19:15,800 --> 01:19:20,920
Speaker 1: defense against Justin Jefferson and Dal I'm locking up the vikings.

1587
01:19:21,200 --> 01:19:22,760
Speaker 1: What about the ping pong table, that's got to be

1588
01:19:22,800 --> 01:19:25,040
Speaker 1: one of the biggest drivers for you. Yeah. I mean,

1589
01:19:25,080 --> 01:19:27,000
Speaker 1: these guys need team chemistry. Now they don't have it.

1590
01:19:27,040 --> 01:19:28,880
Speaker 1: And by the way, if Tyree kill liked ping pong,

1591
01:19:29,280 --> 01:19:31,240
Speaker 1: that table is not going anywhere. But he doesn't play

1592
01:19:31,240 --> 01:19:34,599
Speaker 1: ping pong tables of it sounded like this ping pong

1593
01:19:35,680 --> 01:19:39,360
Speaker 1: table was intense, The tournaments were crazy. It was taking

1594
01:19:39,400 --> 01:19:43,360
Speaker 1: a lot of energy. Maybe people feelings were getting hurt crazy.

1595
01:19:43,400 --> 01:19:45,200
Speaker 1: I thought it was the massive brain injuries to all

1596
01:19:45,200 --> 01:19:48,599
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks, but apparently it's the ping pong table parlor sport.

1597
01:19:49,160 --> 01:19:52,000
Speaker 1: I do. Mike mcdatio's comment, that was two much, he

1598
01:19:52,080 --> 01:19:54,439
Speaker 1: said he talking about the removal. He said that to

1599
01:19:54,479 --> 01:19:58,400
Speaker 1: me is leadership. Leadership to me is acting, not talking.

1600
01:19:58,560 --> 01:20:01,320
Speaker 1: Oh that's come on, come on, you can't say you

1601
01:20:01,360 --> 01:20:04,760
Speaker 1: still believe after this report now, And to your point,

1602
01:20:04,760 --> 01:20:07,040
Speaker 1: I don't. I think Tyreek Hille does like ping pong,

1603
01:20:07,280 --> 01:20:09,639
Speaker 1: but he keeps losing in big spots and he can't

1604
01:20:09,640 --> 01:20:13,120
Speaker 1: take it. I think that's what's happening here. He's not

1605
01:20:13,280 --> 01:20:15,439
Speaker 1: He's not Tyreek Hill on the ping pong table, and

1606
01:20:15,479 --> 01:20:18,120
Speaker 1: he doesn't like that dynamic Mike Kasecki, who's got like

1607
01:20:18,200 --> 01:20:20,960
Speaker 1: a hundred yards this season, has crushing him and he

1608
01:20:21,000 --> 01:20:24,360
Speaker 1: doesn't it that does. I've shared this story, but I'll

1609
01:20:24,360 --> 01:20:27,200
Speaker 1: share it really quick because it's the ping pong story

1610
01:20:27,200 --> 01:20:28,640
Speaker 1: that I'll always have in my life. Is that when

1611
01:20:28,680 --> 01:20:31,559
Speaker 1: I lived in a rental house in the Hollywood Hills

1612
01:20:31,600 --> 01:20:34,360
Speaker 1: with my friend Bob and Jason, the voice of the show,

1613
01:20:34,880 --> 01:20:37,080
Speaker 1: and we had this ping pong outdoor table that we're

1614
01:20:37,120 --> 01:20:38,640
Speaker 1: all proud of and we played all the time. We

1615
01:20:38,720 --> 01:20:41,679
Speaker 1: got really good. Our neighbor was this guy Galen from

1616
01:20:42,439 --> 01:20:45,960
Speaker 1: Soap Operas, Big Soap Opera Star Days of our Lives. Uh,

1617
01:20:46,040 --> 01:20:48,120
Speaker 1: the show with the little Guy, Remember the little Guy,

1618
01:20:48,600 --> 01:20:51,759
Speaker 1: The show with a little person. It was like almost

1619
01:20:51,760 --> 01:20:55,439
Speaker 1: like a fantasy soap opera. Do not recall not a

1620
01:20:55,520 --> 01:20:59,360
Speaker 1: huge fewer of daytime. Okay, anyway, very handsome dude. Our

1621
01:20:59,360 --> 01:21:02,960
Speaker 1: neighbor Ellen and um, I remember him coming up the

1622
01:21:03,040 --> 01:21:05,360
Speaker 1: steps and like, hey, you want to play ping pong?

1623
01:21:05,400 --> 01:21:06,800
Speaker 1: And I was like, all right, let's let's do it.

1624
01:21:06,960 --> 01:21:09,080
Speaker 1: I was like, this guy is so handsome and basically

1625
01:21:09,120 --> 01:21:12,400
Speaker 1: everything you would want to be physically. And I'm like, well,

1626
01:21:12,400 --> 01:21:13,800
Speaker 1: this pretty boy, you know, I get to at least

1627
01:21:13,840 --> 01:21:15,559
Speaker 1: spank him in ping pong and that will make me

1628
01:21:15,560 --> 01:21:18,479
Speaker 1: feel good about it myself. The guy was an unbelievable pingo.

1629
01:21:19,960 --> 01:21:23,360
Speaker 1: Days of our Lives. Galen Garig, he was also in

1630
01:21:23,600 --> 01:21:25,840
Speaker 1: Um Passions, was the name of the soap opera, was

1631
01:21:25,840 --> 01:21:29,080
Speaker 1: a little man who was like a wizard whole other

1632
01:21:29,120 --> 01:21:32,040
Speaker 1: thing anyway, and Galen you still also talk about he

1633
01:21:32,080 --> 01:21:34,920
Speaker 1: knew what he was doing walking up there, and Days

1634
01:21:34,920 --> 01:21:37,280
Speaker 1: of our Lives. I'd asked him, like we would be working.

1635
01:21:37,520 --> 01:21:40,120
Speaker 1: What's going on with you with work and ba and

1636
01:21:40,439 --> 01:21:41,760
Speaker 1: how about you? It was like, oh, man, I got

1637
01:21:41,800 --> 01:21:43,800
Speaker 1: I'm a twin brother now, so that I gotta learn

1638
01:21:43,800 --> 01:21:45,880
Speaker 1: double the lines and it's really tough. And then he

1639
01:21:45,960 --> 01:21:48,240
Speaker 1: just smashed me in ping pong and I'd be like, Wow,

1640
01:21:48,320 --> 01:21:50,360
Speaker 1: this guy has hit all that would be hard to

1641
01:21:50,360 --> 01:21:54,599
Speaker 1: be a twin with his um, with his stage scenario.

1642
01:21:54,640 --> 01:21:58,360
Speaker 1: That's anybody that's works a little uh, show business talk

1643
01:21:58,400 --> 01:22:01,840
Speaker 1: here with a nice little show business interlude. People that

1644
01:22:01,920 --> 01:22:05,639
Speaker 1: work in soap operas, they they film and tape all

1645
01:22:05,680 --> 01:22:08,800
Speaker 1: the time and have to learn so much dialogue for

1646
01:22:08,880 --> 01:22:12,240
Speaker 1: their shooting. The factory a show a day. I was

1647
01:22:12,320 --> 01:22:16,439
Speaker 1: once you know a tour guy that NBC as a

1648
01:22:16,439 --> 01:22:19,640
Speaker 1: page and when we went by the days of the

1649
01:22:19,720 --> 01:22:21,599
Speaker 1: Days of our Lives set, we would always talk about

1650
01:22:21,640 --> 01:22:24,000
Speaker 1: how they're the hardest working people and show business, they

1651
01:22:24,000 --> 01:22:26,760
Speaker 1: really are unrecognized often so if you, if you care,

1652
01:22:26,960 --> 01:22:29,479
Speaker 1: reach out to Galen on social media and tell him

1653
01:22:29,479 --> 01:22:33,760
Speaker 1: he's a tremendous ping pong player. The old zeuser confirms,

1654
01:22:34,160 --> 01:22:38,160
Speaker 1: all right, let's close it out with Jaguars at Cults

1655
01:22:38,240 --> 01:22:39,800
Speaker 1: is bringing in the grave digger on this when he's

1656
01:22:39,840 --> 01:22:43,640
Speaker 1: our a f C South Consigliari and um, you have

1657
01:22:43,680 --> 01:22:46,519
Speaker 1: a Jaguars team that's searching a little bit on offense.

1658
01:22:46,520 --> 01:22:49,679
Speaker 1: Their young quarterback is struggling. They need to start finding

1659
01:22:49,720 --> 01:22:53,320
Speaker 1: some consistency, uh in their attack. And now you have

1660
01:22:53,360 --> 01:22:56,599
Speaker 1: a Colts team coming off the ugly Thursday night win.

1661
01:22:56,920 --> 01:22:59,760
Speaker 1: A win is a win and Jonathan Taylor developing news

1662
01:22:59,800 --> 01:23:03,320
Speaker 1: with her into practice for the Colts on Thursday. Huge development.

1663
01:23:03,400 --> 01:23:05,759
Speaker 1: You assume now if he's practicing in a limited fashion

1664
01:23:06,080 --> 01:23:08,960
Speaker 1: on Thursday without a setback, he will be back in

1665
01:23:08,960 --> 01:23:10,519
Speaker 1: the line of We will see if that ankle holds up.

1666
01:23:10,520 --> 01:23:12,439
Speaker 1: But that's a huge thing he had. He was big

1667
01:23:12,439 --> 01:23:15,000
Speaker 1: in week one. He looked like last year's Jonathan Taylor

1668
01:23:15,040 --> 01:23:18,400
Speaker 1: in Week one, but since he's been stimming with the

1669
01:23:18,400 --> 01:23:21,360
Speaker 1: rest of that attack. According to NFL research, his last

1670
01:23:21,360 --> 01:23:24,360
Speaker 1: two games are the two lowest yards per carry games

1671
01:23:24,360 --> 01:23:28,479
Speaker 1: of his career. So something not working with the Colts offense.

1672
01:23:28,479 --> 01:23:31,000
Speaker 1: And Ryan Kelly didn't practice on Wednesday. Not sure if

1673
01:23:31,000 --> 01:23:34,040
Speaker 1: he was back today, but that's also a huge loss.

1674
01:23:34,080 --> 01:23:37,280
Speaker 1: Their center Shaquille Leonard still dealing with a concussion, Quity

1675
01:23:37,320 --> 01:23:40,840
Speaker 1: Pay not practicing, and the Colts always struggle against Jacksonville.

1676
01:23:40,920 --> 01:23:44,080
Speaker 1: So both of these teams coming off games where they

1677
01:23:44,080 --> 01:23:48,120
Speaker 1: didn't very play very well. I wonder how this matchup

1678
01:23:48,320 --> 01:23:51,720
Speaker 1: a FC South Colts won the game. The cults are.

1679
01:23:51,600 --> 01:23:56,040
Speaker 1: There's a weirdly sad video of Matt Ryan going through

1680
01:23:56,080 --> 01:23:59,760
Speaker 1: the hallway in Denver after the game, kind of that

1681
01:24:00,160 --> 01:24:02,760
Speaker 1: we just won the game thing and that everyone's fired up.

1682
01:24:02,800 --> 01:24:04,439
Speaker 1: And it wasn't Matt Ryan who said it, but at

1683
01:24:04,520 --> 01:24:08,240
Speaker 1: some point some coal is running down the hallway and

1684
01:24:08,240 --> 01:24:11,000
Speaker 1: he goes to two and one baby, And there was

1685
01:24:11,040 --> 01:24:13,960
Speaker 1: something about the and one that just is sad like

1686
01:24:14,360 --> 01:24:17,080
Speaker 1: to to First of all, you're figured to be better

1687
01:24:17,080 --> 01:24:22,640
Speaker 1: than two two women to one baby. Their defense is

1688
01:24:22,640 --> 01:24:24,200
Speaker 1: playing well, it's kind of my point. I know they

1689
01:24:24,240 --> 01:24:27,040
Speaker 1: just got to play Denver, but their defense, I would say,

1690
01:24:27,120 --> 01:24:29,160
Speaker 1: is it better than average defense that has a good

1691
01:24:29,200 --> 01:24:32,360
Speaker 1: pass rush and should absolutely feel like they can stifle

1692
01:24:32,479 --> 01:24:35,080
Speaker 1: a Jaguars offense which has been pretty limited. It doesn't

1693
01:24:35,080 --> 01:24:37,519
Speaker 1: win a lot on the outside right now. And Trevor

1694
01:24:37,560 --> 01:24:40,439
Speaker 1: Lawrence doesn't exactly shoot straight. He's not playing poorly, but

1695
01:24:40,520 --> 01:24:46,280
Speaker 1: he just doesn't throw it where he aims it. And

1696
01:24:46,280 --> 01:24:48,760
Speaker 1: and uh, grave digger, I'm curious what you think because

1697
01:24:48,800 --> 01:24:51,640
Speaker 1: the Colts are not no strangers to pour starts and

1698
01:24:51,680 --> 01:24:55,519
Speaker 1: then getting hot October, November into December, do you think

1699
01:24:55,640 --> 01:24:57,040
Speaker 1: that's something to keep an eye on? Do you think

1700
01:24:57,080 --> 01:24:58,760
Speaker 1: the cults? Because this would be a good put it

1701
01:24:58,800 --> 01:25:01,360
Speaker 1: together game for the Colts. This would be in past

1702
01:25:01,400 --> 01:25:04,400
Speaker 1: probably you know, here we are now week six, mid October,

1703
01:25:04,520 --> 01:25:07,600
Speaker 1: you get the Jags that in your building, maybe you

1704
01:25:07,720 --> 01:25:10,400
Speaker 1: start to get on track. This would make sense. If

1705
01:25:10,439 --> 01:25:13,160
Speaker 1: they stink again, you're starting to get to a level

1706
01:25:13,160 --> 01:25:15,479
Speaker 1: where there's enough mounting evidence where maybe they're just bad,

1707
01:25:15,960 --> 01:25:18,080
Speaker 1: which I'm open to that as possibility. I'm curious what

1708
01:25:18,120 --> 01:25:19,880
Speaker 1: you think. I do think this is gonna be a

1709
01:25:19,920 --> 01:25:22,960
Speaker 1: typical Cults get better as the season goes along type

1710
01:25:22,960 --> 01:25:24,880
Speaker 1: of year, and and this could be a great place

1711
01:25:24,920 --> 01:25:27,559
Speaker 1: to start. But I also wonder how long Matt Ryan

1712
01:25:27,680 --> 01:25:30,719
Speaker 1: survives behind this offensive line because he's taken so many shots.

1713
01:25:31,040 --> 01:25:33,479
Speaker 1: But I don't necessarily think it would be bad for

1714
01:25:33,520 --> 01:25:36,200
Speaker 1: the Cults if Nick Foles was inserted as a starter.

1715
01:25:36,640 --> 01:25:39,679
Speaker 1: He's has a history with Frank that they're not gonna

1716
01:25:39,720 --> 01:25:42,519
Speaker 1: do it if Matt Ryan says healthy. But if one

1717
01:25:42,560 --> 01:25:44,360
Speaker 1: of these hits knocks him out of a game and

1718
01:25:44,400 --> 01:25:48,120
Speaker 1: then his career, Ryan, he takes a beating. You know,

1719
01:25:48,120 --> 01:25:50,439
Speaker 1: he's getting older now, obviously, but it's fair, it's good.

1720
01:25:50,439 --> 01:25:53,040
Speaker 1: But he lost in that game. He's looked lost. I'll see.

1721
01:25:53,040 --> 01:25:55,680
Speaker 1: That's a great point justin I mean, they lost twenty four.

1722
01:25:55,720 --> 01:25:59,000
Speaker 1: Nothing of the Jaguars who one sacks that Ryan's taken,

1723
01:25:59,080 --> 01:26:01,040
Speaker 1: five of them happen that day. That was a beat down.

1724
01:26:01,040 --> 01:26:02,800
Speaker 1: I think Michael Pitton was not in the line that

1725
01:26:02,800 --> 01:26:05,599
Speaker 1: that that afternoon. But they have not fared well against

1726
01:26:05,600 --> 01:26:08,719
Speaker 1: the Jaguars, who I think have a pretty good defense

1727
01:26:09,080 --> 01:26:13,240
Speaker 1: and can take advantage of a totally messy, discombobulated Coults line.

1728
01:26:13,600 --> 01:26:17,800
Speaker 1: Forty six point two percent of Ryan's throws are going

1729
01:26:18,200 --> 01:26:20,920
Speaker 1: be just just to the sticks or behind like they're

1730
01:26:20,920 --> 01:26:22,920
Speaker 1: not they're It's the highest rate in the league. They're

1731
01:26:22,960 --> 01:26:26,240
Speaker 1: a backwards horizontal offense. That to me, unless you get

1732
01:26:26,760 --> 01:26:28,960
Speaker 1: unless Jonathan Taylor is going to be the right version

1733
01:26:28,960 --> 01:26:31,479
Speaker 1: of Jonathan Taylor, I don't like the situation at all.

1734
01:26:31,560 --> 01:26:33,559
Speaker 1: And I there's four or five hits a game where

1735
01:26:33,640 --> 01:26:35,880
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan looks like Brad Pitt and meet Joe Black

1736
01:26:35,920 --> 01:26:37,400
Speaker 1: when he gets hit by the car in the middle

1737
01:26:37,439 --> 01:26:43,320
Speaker 1: of the road, right, Uh, it's like he didn't need

1738
01:26:43,400 --> 01:26:46,879
Speaker 1: to be hit by two cars and bounce up comically likely,

1739
01:26:47,400 --> 01:26:49,880
Speaker 1: even even now you remember the scene and exactly what

1740
01:26:50,000 --> 01:26:52,320
Speaker 1: happened because of the way that they work is it

1741
01:26:52,520 --> 01:26:54,200
Speaker 1: is it? Is it a famous scene or is an

1742
01:26:54,320 --> 01:26:56,519
Speaker 1: infamous scene? I think that's an important to I mean

1743
01:26:56,560 --> 01:27:01,519
Speaker 1: otherwise famous totally forgotten because it was terrible. This is

1744
01:27:01,600 --> 01:27:05,080
Speaker 1: the first Hopkins pretty good, the first rematch of the season,

1745
01:27:05,120 --> 01:27:06,880
Speaker 1: because these teams played in Week one and they already

1746
01:27:06,880 --> 01:27:09,840
Speaker 1: played again in weeks six two? Right or we uh yeah,

1747
01:27:09,920 --> 01:27:16,200
Speaker 1: we too? Um. I wonder if the year. I wonder

1748
01:27:16,200 --> 01:27:18,160
Speaker 1: if the Colts defense does anything different in this game

1749
01:27:18,200 --> 01:27:21,679
Speaker 1: because the last game they played like a very Shelly backup.

1750
01:27:21,800 --> 01:27:23,439
Speaker 1: Don't let anything good over the top of you and

1751
01:27:23,560 --> 01:27:27,040
Speaker 1: Lawrence just like decisively dice them up short quick passes

1752
01:27:27,080 --> 01:27:30,519
Speaker 1: the whole game and it worked for nothing. Wins. Be

1753
01:27:30,560 --> 01:27:32,960
Speaker 1: a little more aggressive. Gilmour is playing well. This is

1754
01:27:33,000 --> 01:27:35,400
Speaker 1: a huge game for Frank Craik. I know it's only

1755
01:27:35,479 --> 01:27:38,360
Speaker 1: Week six, you'd come back from it. But if you

1756
01:27:38,800 --> 01:27:41,360
Speaker 1: if you lose to the Jaguars in Week seventeen last

1757
01:27:41,439 --> 01:27:44,439
Speaker 1: year in a game that rocked your franchise, then you

1758
01:27:44,520 --> 01:27:47,439
Speaker 1: got shut out against the Jaguars in Week two, and

1759
01:27:47,520 --> 01:27:49,960
Speaker 1: then you lose this game at home. Somehow they're favored

1760
01:27:50,000 --> 01:27:52,559
Speaker 1: in this game. I'm picking the Jaguars. Uh, you lose

1761
01:27:52,680 --> 01:27:56,160
Speaker 1: this game at home again. It's getting late early for

1762
01:27:56,240 --> 01:27:58,920
Speaker 1: this whole thing. With an offensive line that makes more

1763
01:27:59,000 --> 01:28:00,960
Speaker 1: money than just about any offensive line in the league,

1764
01:28:01,000 --> 01:28:03,120
Speaker 1: and that they're the number one problems are so important.

1765
01:28:03,160 --> 01:28:05,600
Speaker 1: If he's healthy or close to healthy. I think the

1766
01:28:05,720 --> 01:28:08,320
Speaker 1: Colts will begin to get back on the right track.

1767
01:28:08,320 --> 01:28:10,000
Speaker 1: I'm not ready to say the Cults are the worst

1768
01:28:10,000 --> 01:28:12,360
Speaker 1: teams in the league, but it's we'll see. I think

1769
01:28:12,360 --> 01:28:14,160
Speaker 1: we're gonna learn, like you're saying. I think Greg, we're

1770
01:28:14,160 --> 01:28:16,519
Speaker 1: gonna learn a lot about both of these teams in

1771
01:28:16,640 --> 01:28:20,479
Speaker 1: this game. Claire for Lonnie very spicy. Also, before we

1772
01:28:20,560 --> 01:28:23,120
Speaker 1: say goodbye the lock of the week standings, let's check

1773
01:28:23,200 --> 01:28:27,280
Speaker 1: in on those. Zeuser still ahead at four and one,

1774
01:28:27,479 --> 01:28:32,120
Speaker 1: Greggy Grave Digger, and the West Brothers are Greg and

1775
01:28:32,200 --> 01:28:34,320
Speaker 1: Grave Digger three and two. West Brothers are two and three,

1776
01:28:34,680 --> 01:28:37,439
Speaker 1: and Mark at three and two. I don't again with

1777
01:28:37,600 --> 01:28:40,519
Speaker 1: the order of this, but so you're you're actually you

1778
01:28:40,640 --> 01:28:43,280
Speaker 1: have more wins than the West Bros. Bros. But you're

1779
01:28:43,320 --> 01:28:45,320
Speaker 1: listed behind them. Why was Mark at the bottom of

1780
01:28:45,360 --> 01:28:47,719
Speaker 1: the standings? What are we doing here from a production

1781
01:28:47,800 --> 01:28:50,760
Speaker 1: angle that this was in no particular order thing. We

1782
01:28:50,880 --> 01:28:52,680
Speaker 1: just do the lock standings up. I don't know. I

1783
01:28:52,800 --> 01:28:56,920
Speaker 1: know that's not true. You're very order and it's just

1784
01:28:57,479 --> 01:28:59,400
Speaker 1: that was just a board with the standards. I'm behind

1785
01:28:59,439 --> 01:29:02,880
Speaker 1: the glow merit a disorganized conglomerate of brothers. Wait, let

1786
01:29:02,920 --> 01:29:05,720
Speaker 1: me see that shot again of justin the I just

1787
01:29:05,800 --> 01:29:08,040
Speaker 1: saw Christie stable and wave her arm like she's saying

1788
01:29:08,360 --> 01:29:11,919
Speaker 1: taking responsibility? Is that what happened? Okay, So Chris, Christie's

1789
01:29:11,960 --> 01:29:14,600
Speaker 1: just saying Hi. Christie and Jack and Drew and I

1790
01:29:14,960 --> 01:29:17,840
Speaker 1: all came together to create the graphic and I think

1791
01:29:17,880 --> 01:29:22,360
Speaker 1: it's a great graphic. Every bit of this into the mind.

1792
01:29:23,160 --> 01:29:26,439
Speaker 1: All right. Um, that is it for the week six

1793
01:29:26,520 --> 01:29:30,879
Speaker 1: preview show Friday Fun Show, uh tomorrow where we recap

1794
01:29:31,160 --> 01:29:34,160
Speaker 1: Thursday night football Commanders at Bears, have some fun along

1795
01:29:34,240 --> 01:29:37,160
Speaker 1: the way, and then Sunday we will recap every game

1796
01:29:37,439 --> 01:29:40,960
Speaker 1: we just previewed. And I just remember, now Galen had

1797
01:29:41,000 --> 01:29:43,559
Speaker 1: this spin that he could hit the ball with some English.

1798
01:29:43,760 --> 01:29:45,840
Speaker 1: He put some English on it, and that was it

1799
01:29:45,920 --> 01:29:47,960
Speaker 1: was a rap. You know, I go in one way

1800
01:29:48,280 --> 01:29:50,120
Speaker 1: and then here it was a spin flying back the

1801
01:29:50,160 --> 01:29:52,360
Speaker 1: other way when he when he whipped you, did you

1802
01:29:52,400 --> 01:29:53,960
Speaker 1: decide I want to keep playing this guy over and over?

1803
01:29:54,040 --> 01:29:56,880
Speaker 1: Do we something not available when the game was happening

1804
01:29:56,920 --> 01:29:59,120
Speaker 1: in the rematch scenarios? I know, I was kind of

1805
01:29:59,160 --> 01:30:01,080
Speaker 1: a wrap after that. I said, I can't take my

1806
01:30:01,320 --> 01:30:04,040
Speaker 1: the ego is already taking any bashing right now, go

1807
01:30:04,160 --> 01:30:07,519
Speaker 1: back to your beautiful house and your perfect family. Galen,

1808
01:30:07,640 --> 01:30:13,000
Speaker 1: all right, good stuff. Thank you everybody for listening puting

1809
01:30:13,080 --> 01:30:20,200
Speaker 1: up with our shenanigans until Friday and then Sunday. Remember

1810
01:30:20,240 --> 01:30:26,559
Speaker 1: what you gotta do. He the Callah
