1 00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:07,640 Speaker 1: The Around the League Podcast has no prior head coaching experience. 2 00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:11,479 Speaker 1: Welcome back to another edition of the Around the League Podcast. 3 00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:13,240 Speaker 1: My name is Dan Hansus, and I am joined by 4 00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:16,520 Speaker 1: a room full of heroes, Chris Westling, Mark Sessler, and 5 00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:20,840 Speaker 1: Greg Rosenthal. What up, boys, Good evening, It's Sunday night. 6 00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:24,880 Speaker 1: I can feel the energy. It's pulsating through my veins. Personally, 7 00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:26,600 Speaker 1: I don't know about you, guys. It's much different on 8 00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:29,760 Speaker 1: a Sunday. When last Saturday, guys were coming off of 9 00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:34,559 Speaker 1: an all day corn Hale extravaganza, whereas this Saturday, you're 10 00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:37,479 Speaker 1: coming off of a two year old birthday party when 11 00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:39,400 Speaker 1: she went for my daughters. Yes, thank you for as 12 00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:43,000 Speaker 1: far as you know. That's all we're coming on. Yes, 13 00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:47,360 Speaker 1: that's true. Cassa del Rosenthal hosted us. It was really 14 00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:49,479 Speaker 1: it was quite pleasant. I would say it was very 15 00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:53,720 Speaker 1: nice children all around. Happy birthday to uh your daughter Ellis. 16 00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:58,000 Speaker 1: She turns to a lot of information. So here we are. 17 00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:01,520 Speaker 1: We are in week three. Another a little bit, a 18 00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,840 Speaker 1: little bit disappointing to me personally this week or some 19 00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:08,920 Speaker 1: ugly games, but also some interesting subplots. So maybe you 20 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:14,319 Speaker 1: should continue to listen to the Podcast of Surprises, and 21 00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:17,959 Speaker 1: let's start right off the bat. In Candlestick Park, San Francisco, 22 00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:21,520 Speaker 1: the forty Niners get taken down at home by the Colts. 23 00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:24,360 Speaker 1: Greg Rosenthal watch that game, tell us about it. It's 24 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,559 Speaker 1: not only a surprising result who won, but the fact 25 00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:31,039 Speaker 1: that the Cults were the tougher team than San Francisco 26 00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 1: is making me rethink a lot of things. I mean, 27 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:36,760 Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter of that game, they are running 28 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,840 Speaker 1: the ball straight through the forty Niners defense when they 29 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:41,960 Speaker 1: know the runner is coming. It's not Trent Richardson, who 30 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,760 Speaker 1: was a non factor. Really, it's a mod Bradshaw who 31 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 1: looked terrific. And the forty Niners have to think. Now, Okay, 32 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,680 Speaker 1: they lost Patrick Willison this game with a groin injury. 33 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:53,880 Speaker 1: We found out after the game that Alden Smith will 34 00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,920 Speaker 1: be away from the team on an indefinite leave of absence. 35 00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 1: Ian Rappaport reported, Uh, he's gonna get treatment for substance 36 00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:05,040 Speaker 1: abuse problems. Uh. And they can't throw the football right now. 37 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,640 Speaker 1: So this is a team suddenly in Week three that's 38 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,520 Speaker 1: got a whole bunch of problems. I was stunned by this. 39 00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,440 Speaker 1: I talked about on Friday. I thought that this was 40 00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:15,239 Speaker 1: a buzz saw game for the Colts, that we're gonna 41 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,080 Speaker 1: go in basis forty Niners team that got embarrassed in 42 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,679 Speaker 1: their previous game against the Seahawks. You would think this 43 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 1: would be the chance where they kind of sharpen up 44 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,680 Speaker 1: again and beat up on the Colts. But instead they 45 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:29,079 Speaker 1: they really got beat up on themselves. And Uh, to 46 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,000 Speaker 1: Mark Sessler's credit, you had the hero pick on this. 47 00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 1: You picked the Colts, and you described that I believe 48 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,160 Speaker 1: as one of your funny feelings. I just had a feeling. 49 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 1: But you know, hard Bob back to back losses for 50 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:43,920 Speaker 1: the first time as the coach of the Forts. That 51 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,800 Speaker 1: doesn't bother me so much except to look at how 52 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,560 Speaker 1: they lost these two games in the course of one week. 53 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:53,160 Speaker 1: I mean, they got rattled by by Seattle. They come 54 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 1: in this game, you think they that the India is 55 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:57,280 Speaker 1: the kind of team that's gonna learn how to play 56 00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:00,239 Speaker 1: tough football from a team like San Francisco. Greg said 57 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,160 Speaker 1: it best. I mean I watched the second half of that. 58 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:06,800 Speaker 1: They just got thumped. Colin Kaepernick really struggled. The book 59 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,160 Speaker 1: is out on this team. I mean, when they didn't 60 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 1: have Vernon Davis in the game. They gotta beat me. 61 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:13,320 Speaker 1: They gotta figure out how to beat man coverage. They 62 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:16,040 Speaker 1: don't have anyone that can get open against man coverage. 63 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,440 Speaker 1: And that's what the Cults were doing. Uh. He couldn't 64 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:20,520 Speaker 1: throw the ball, couldn't run the ball. It is a 65 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:22,560 Speaker 1: great sign for the Colts that Andrew Luck had a 66 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,880 Speaker 1: very nondescript game played okay, wasn't really that huge of 67 00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,239 Speaker 1: a factor, and the Colts wasn't going away. That whole 68 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 1: narrative about Andrew Luck has no help. That's gone right now. 69 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 1: The both Super Bowl teams now have the same problem 70 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:38,440 Speaker 1: lack of talent at the skill positions on offense. MHM. 71 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:40,880 Speaker 1: And I don't I don't put too much into it 72 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 1: when people say distractions heard a team. So I don't 73 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 1: think Alvin Smith, what happened with him that the d 74 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 1: U I and now immediately after the game him going 75 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 1: away from the team, I don't think that plays into it. 76 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,200 Speaker 1: But going forward now, I mean, that's that's a big issue. 77 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 1: That guy was part of the guts of your defense 78 00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 1: and we have we have no idea how long he's 79 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 1: gonna be gone. All of a sudden, are we worried 80 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 1: about the Niners. It's a big game Thursday night against 81 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 1: the Rams, you know. There. We'll see if Patrick Willis 82 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 1: is ready for the game. We'll see if Vernon Davis 83 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 1: is ready. I mean, these are their top players were 84 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 1: talking about, uh, and they're not playing with them right now. 85 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,039 Speaker 1: So yeah, it's it's a problem. One last thing on 86 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,120 Speaker 1: this game. I'm less than thrilled that the Colts are 87 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 1: turning Andrew Luck into Russell Wilson going with this run heavy. 88 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:29,480 Speaker 1: Come on, free Andrew Luck. That's fair, that's fair. Um, alright, 89 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:31,479 Speaker 1: so yeah, let's move on. Let's go through the schedule 90 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:34,839 Speaker 1: all of Sunday's games. Um, Greg Rosenthal, I believe you 91 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:40,800 Speaker 1: also were watching the Baltimore Ravens Houston Texans game that 92 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,599 Speaker 1: that is a true statement. Not a pretty game. A 93 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,840 Speaker 1: lot of penalties in this one and not a lot 94 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,560 Speaker 1: of offense. The Texans should have had a big lead 95 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 1: in the first half, didn't really take advantage of some 96 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,960 Speaker 1: great situations, and it just reminded me of some old 97 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 1: school Baltimore Ravens ugly game. They get a pun return touchdown, 98 00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 1: they get a defensive touchow there's only one touchdown scored. 99 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 1: In this entire game on offense that was by the Ravens. 100 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 1: Had a nice drive with Tory Smith, and they're winning 101 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:11,160 Speaker 1: ugly and this is two straight games now. Their defense 102 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:14,839 Speaker 1: has not given up a single touchdown at home. Match 103 00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 1: Shop did not play well in this game, and I 104 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:18,600 Speaker 1: think Baltimore has got to feel good that they can 105 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:20,760 Speaker 1: win games in different sorts of ways. Now, how did 106 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,680 Speaker 1: Ed Reid look? He was a non factor. I mean, 107 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:25,600 Speaker 1: he had three tackles, just one of those kind of 108 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 1: deep safety games where he didn't make a lot of 109 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:30,840 Speaker 1: noise either way. You know. The guy noticed a little 110 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 1: more was Matt Elam who came into the starting lineup 111 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 1: for the Ravens essentially Reads replacement. This was his first start. Uh. 112 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 1: The Texans didn't have a play over eighteen yards in 113 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,920 Speaker 1: the entire game, so this was a station to station, 114 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:47,280 Speaker 1: really slow moving offense, and they they're struggling to make 115 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 1: big plays and match Shops not playing that well. I 116 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,640 Speaker 1: still feel pretty good about my eight and eight prediction 117 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 1: for the Texans. I know I'm in the minority on 118 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,160 Speaker 1: that about where they will finish this year, but they're 119 00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:58,840 Speaker 1: very close. They could be if a couple of things. 120 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:00,680 Speaker 1: One against some oh and three right now, they did 121 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:03,240 Speaker 1: not play great in either Week one or two. They 122 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,400 Speaker 1: need to come backs in both games, and now they're 123 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:07,599 Speaker 1: a flat on the road against the Baltimore team that 124 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 1: I think everyone agrees is not complete by any means. Um. 125 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 1: So I don't know. I don't know about the Texans 126 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 1: right now. I just have to point out that J. J. 127 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:19,679 Speaker 1: Watt has become the most fun defensive player to watch 128 00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:24,280 Speaker 1: in my lifetime. Week after did you No, I know, 129 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:26,839 Speaker 1: but it's just the fact that it's continuing and taking 130 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:28,800 Speaker 1: it to another level. I thought his game last week Aainst, 131 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 1: Tennessee one of the best of his career. He was 132 00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:34,400 Speaker 1: incredible again today. Uh. And it's just I mean, it's 133 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,320 Speaker 1: just a joy to watch every week. Alright, Moving right along, 134 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 1: I had the pleasure. Pleasure is probably not the word, 135 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:44,880 Speaker 1: but I watched the Carolina Panthers absolutely destroyed the New 136 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:48,719 Speaker 1: York Giants thirty eight. Nothing um could be the low 137 00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:51,280 Speaker 1: point of the Tom Cofflan era in New York. I 138 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:54,160 Speaker 1: think this was a game where from the very beginning 139 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 1: it was just complete domination on both sides. Eli Manning 140 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:01,120 Speaker 1: had no chance. Uh. He leaded twelve passes in the 141 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:06,080 Speaker 1: game and was sacked seven times, including six times in 142 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,880 Speaker 1: the first seventeen minutes of the game. Uh, that this 143 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 1: is the type of protection we're talking about. The running 144 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:13,400 Speaker 1: game didn't know better. Um So the Giants are now 145 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:15,120 Speaker 1: oh and three and I'm shocked. I thought they were 146 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 1: gonna get good off the Schnied, but they're not, and 147 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,320 Speaker 1: they're in deep trouble. Remember when the Craken predicted he 148 00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:22,800 Speaker 1: would have fifty sacks this year. Yes, I thought he 149 00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,400 Speaker 1: might get that in the first quarter. Yes, I believe 150 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,960 Speaker 1: he had three sacks today. Uh, but he didn't have 151 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:30,400 Speaker 1: sax in either of the first two games, so he's 152 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:32,640 Speaker 1: still way off his projection. You know, in the on 153 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:36,240 Speaker 1: last podcast, West and I both talked about Carolina as 154 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 1: our pick of the O and two teams that could 155 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,520 Speaker 1: potentially turn things around. Makes some sort of a run. 156 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:45,080 Speaker 1: The defense to me was the obvious reason. But what 157 00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:47,080 Speaker 1: I was reading and tell me what you saw that 158 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:49,520 Speaker 1: they kind of changed up the offense for Cam Newton 159 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,000 Speaker 1: this game. They did. You you saw more running from Newton, 160 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:56,000 Speaker 1: which was smart. Mike Shula, who around these parts anyway, 161 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,560 Speaker 1: doesn't have a great reputation. As I look over. It 162 00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:02,360 Speaker 1: was the A t O whippy boy, but uh yeah. 163 00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:04,720 Speaker 1: I mean, listen, when you have someone who's dynamic as Newton, 164 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 1: you've got to design some plays to let him make 165 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:08,840 Speaker 1: plays with his legs. And he did that and it 166 00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,400 Speaker 1: just goes to show he played. Newton played just a 167 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:14,720 Speaker 1: really uh balance game. He had one bad interception, but 168 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:18,120 Speaker 1: he threw three touchdowns, he ran for another. He was 169 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:20,320 Speaker 1: in total control. And the only thing I will say is, 170 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 1: and you can't take it away from them, that they 171 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,120 Speaker 1: blew the Giants out. But before I believe in the Panthers, 172 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:26,680 Speaker 1: I want to see them win one of those close 173 00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:29,760 Speaker 1: games that they seem to lose. Um on a bi 174 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,600 Speaker 1: weekly basis, are the Giants the worst team in the 175 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,679 Speaker 1: league other than the Jaguars. Jaguars, let's throw out of 176 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:39,679 Speaker 1: this Steelers. Steelers are in that mix that it's incredible 177 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 1: that those are the teams we're talking about. But that's 178 00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:43,600 Speaker 1: how they've played. I mean, they've had three straight really 179 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:45,800 Speaker 1: bad performances. You know, I don't think about New York 180 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,760 Speaker 1: and it's not just that David Wilson has been disappointing, 181 00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:51,600 Speaker 1: but I understand the whole They didn't get the contracting 182 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:55,079 Speaker 1: done with a mod Bradshaw. But look, the guy looked 183 00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:57,240 Speaker 1: good tonight. That's a guy that would have fit perfectly 184 00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:59,480 Speaker 1: in the New York's offense right now. They need a 185 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 1: guy they can rely on running the ball. That's a 186 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:04,760 Speaker 1: shame it didn't work out. Yeah, but even if today, 187 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,199 Speaker 1: just speaking of today's game, though Brad Show wouldn't have 188 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,960 Speaker 1: done anything. It was David Wilson. They actually tried to 189 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 1: work him more back into the game plan and he 190 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,160 Speaker 1: was just getting swallowed up in the backfield. Actually got 191 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:16,600 Speaker 1: a penalty called down him because he spiked the ball 192 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 1: in frustration at one point after getting swallowed up for 193 00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,160 Speaker 1: a four yard loss. I mean, it was just it 194 00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:22,800 Speaker 1: was I couldn't believe how bad it was. And the 195 00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:26,720 Speaker 1: other thing, the Panthers, uh front line is awesome, you know, 196 00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,080 Speaker 1: they they they're showing it week after week. The Giants, 197 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,600 Speaker 1: I don't know what happened to their pass rush. I 198 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:35,000 Speaker 1: understand Pierre Paul is not himself, but in general, they 199 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,679 Speaker 1: you know, Newton had all day was comfortable, just an 200 00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:40,080 Speaker 1: all around bad effort. Their first own three start since 201 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,720 Speaker 1: ninety six, which was the last year of the Dan 202 00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:45,199 Speaker 1: Reeves era. Justin Tuck hasn't been a good player in 203 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:48,040 Speaker 1: a couple of years either. Not that you need any 204 00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:51,480 Speaker 1: more proof, but you would always rather have a terrible 205 00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:54,560 Speaker 1: secondary than a terrible defensive line, because the Panthers couldn't 206 00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 1: have worse players in their secondary. And when you're that 207 00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:59,559 Speaker 1: good up front, it doesn't matter at all. Star Latula 208 00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:02,760 Speaker 1: should have been a top three overall pick in the drafts. 209 00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:10,800 Speaker 1: Speaking of Westling, his former love the Cincinnati Bengals, UH, 210 00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:13,040 Speaker 1: I would say the other you know, maybe the biggest 211 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,680 Speaker 1: game of the week, Uh, in terms of an impact. 212 00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:18,720 Speaker 1: The Bengals take down the Packers at home. Tell us 213 00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,320 Speaker 1: about it. It was a turnover fest. The Bengals had 214 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,320 Speaker 1: uh jumped out to a fourteen to nothing lead thanks 215 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:26,920 Speaker 1: to in in small part because the Packers had a 216 00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:30,720 Speaker 1: fumble on their opening kickoff. UH. They jump out. Packers 217 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,720 Speaker 1: score thirty points in a row after the Bengals have 218 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:37,840 Speaker 1: four turnovers, and then the Packers basically are running running 219 00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:40,440 Speaker 1: away with the game, have a chance to win. Jonathan 220 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:43,160 Speaker 1: Franklin fumbles, the Bengals take it back fifty eight yards 221 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:47,360 Speaker 1: and that one play basically changed the outcome. The Aaron Rodgers, 222 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:49,560 Speaker 1: I'm looking at the box scores in the Gabbard zone. 223 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:52,640 Speaker 1: How how did this happen? And then for everyone out there, 224 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:54,840 Speaker 1: that's that's the yards per attempt somewhere in the fives 225 00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:56,559 Speaker 1: or maybe under. I think it's getting to the point 226 00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:58,520 Speaker 1: we don't have to explain it anymore. America knows what 227 00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:02,280 Speaker 1: the gabber zone is by now. Mike Zimmer's defense was swarming. Uh, 228 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:06,040 Speaker 1: Michael Johnson really put uh David back tr on a 229 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:10,640 Speaker 1: in a clown suit. Um Rogers was sacked four times, 230 00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:14,160 Speaker 1: hit probably a dozen or more times, and Uh, the 231 00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:17,839 Speaker 1: Bengals front front four just really dominated trenches. I look 232 00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,240 Speaker 1: at Green Bay and I don't like for you know, 233 00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:22,120 Speaker 1: I'm a Browns fan when my team is a week 234 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:25,440 Speaker 1: four by that, but it feels too early and it's 235 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:27,559 Speaker 1: just like, listen, a lot more stuff happens. I want 236 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:29,880 Speaker 1: the break to come a little later. This guy, this 237 00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 1: team needs to buy this. This week around, they had 238 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:35,240 Speaker 1: Jeremy Ross, a wide receiver, playing running back on the 239 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:38,160 Speaker 1: final few plays of the game because Franklin twisted his 240 00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:42,000 Speaker 1: ankle or something. Starks was Starks injured his knee. Jare 241 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:46,040 Speaker 1: Michael Finley was concussed. Clay Matthews tweaked his hamstring. Uh 242 00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,160 Speaker 1: it sat out the second half, and that may have 243 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:50,480 Speaker 1: been the difference in the game too. Matthews forced fumbles 244 00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:53,120 Speaker 1: on back to back Bengals possessions in the second quarter. 245 00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:56,000 Speaker 1: Bengals come back, I mean backers are shutting them down. 246 00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:58,559 Speaker 1: They come back with two touchdown at the end of 247 00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:00,760 Speaker 1: the third quarter and started the fourth quarter with Matthew 248 00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 1: with Matthews on the sideline, that was a big injury. 249 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:05,640 Speaker 1: This has becoming a thing with them starting the season slow. 250 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:07,960 Speaker 1: Happened last year. Didn't make a difference. Happen even when 251 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 1: they won the Super Bowl, didn't make a difference. So 252 00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:12,559 Speaker 1: I'm not too worried. What about the Bengals, though, I mean, 253 00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:14,760 Speaker 1: shouldn't shouldn't we be giving them a lot of credit 254 00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:16,080 Speaker 1: for this game? I mean, this is a game that 255 00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:18,840 Speaker 1: everyone kind of figured the Packers would home or not. 256 00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:20,720 Speaker 1: They were going to take care of business because they're 257 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 1: the better team. And now this Bagels team credit for 258 00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:26,640 Speaker 1: not going away. When the Packers scored thirty points in 259 00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:29,240 Speaker 1: a row to make it thirty to fourteen. Uh, they 260 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:31,880 Speaker 1: kept they kept in it and kept getting after Rogers. 261 00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:34,920 Speaker 1: One other takeaway from this game is that Marvin Lewis 262 00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:37,800 Speaker 1: actually want a challenge and a key one that that's 263 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:41,479 Speaker 1: pretty rare for mar Marvin's actually on the Coaches podcast 264 00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:44,800 Speaker 1: on Monday with our with our friends. We're helping out 265 00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:48,000 Speaker 1: the podcast family here. Alright, Greg just got paid seven 266 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:52,120 Speaker 1: dollars for that. Alright, let's move on. I I got 267 00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:56,560 Speaker 1: another good one. The Dallas Cowboys absolutely whooped the St. 268 00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 1: Louis Rams and I don't want to hear it is 269 00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:00,240 Speaker 1: a good one. You love the Cowboys, I don't want to. 270 00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,679 Speaker 1: I don't love the Cowboys. Closet Cowboys fan, like every 271 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:10,040 Speaker 1: Yankees fan out there, that is ridiculous. In every show 272 00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:12,400 Speaker 1: where Greg gets up out of this chair and rotates 273 00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:15,040 Speaker 1: around the room to make a point, I know that 274 00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:18,720 Speaker 1: that is baseless and rude. Quite frankly. Um. I do 275 00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:21,240 Speaker 1: enjoy watching the Cowboys because they are kind of like 276 00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:24,280 Speaker 1: NFL tragic theater with a lot of big name stars 277 00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:26,959 Speaker 1: attached to the vehicle. But uh, you know, listen, this 278 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:28,800 Speaker 1: was a good day to be a Cowboys fan because 279 00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:32,160 Speaker 1: they talked all week about they needed to get more 280 00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,400 Speaker 1: balanced in their offense, and then they came out they 281 00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:36,679 Speaker 1: gave the ball to DeMarco Murray twenty six times he 282 00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:39,719 Speaker 1: ran for uh well over a hundred yards. They ran 283 00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,840 Speaker 1: I think a hundred seventy five yards a dred yards 284 00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:46,160 Speaker 1: in total. And when the Cowboys have that type of 285 00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:48,360 Speaker 1: offense going on the ground, they're in good shape because 286 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:51,280 Speaker 1: they have so many weapons throwing the ball so a 287 00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:53,600 Speaker 1: dominating effort. And I don't want to hear anything else 288 00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:57,400 Speaker 1: about the NFC West having you know, top to bottom 289 00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:59,679 Speaker 1: talent and great teams because the Rams now it's a 290 00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:02,520 Speaker 1: second straight week where they were down twenty four nothing 291 00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:05,240 Speaker 1: at one point that they doesn't This doesn't seem like 292 00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:07,319 Speaker 1: a team that is going to hang around in the 293 00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:10,600 Speaker 1: playoff picture. And one other thing, Jake Long gave him 294 00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:13,800 Speaker 1: a lot of money. He got destroyed today and you know, 295 00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:16,080 Speaker 1: he gave up sacks and he doesn't look anything close 296 00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:17,840 Speaker 1: to what he was, so that that might not be 297 00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:20,200 Speaker 1: a great signing. It's the third week in a row 298 00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:24,280 Speaker 1: where Tavon Austin had a very pedestrian game, and it's 299 00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:26,520 Speaker 1: too early to make any sort of a judgment there. 300 00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:29,080 Speaker 1: I think he's still gonna probably explode at some point, 301 00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:31,440 Speaker 1: But I mean, what are you seeing from him? He 302 00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:34,080 Speaker 1: was he had six catches, but they were so quiet. 303 00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,280 Speaker 1: I don't even remember seeing all of them. They were 304 00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,960 Speaker 1: for thirty yards. So talk about Gabbard zone. You know, 305 00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:41,640 Speaker 1: Tavon Austin was supposed to be the most exciting player 306 00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:44,320 Speaker 1: UH in the league on some level potentially, but we 307 00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:46,640 Speaker 1: haven't seen that yet. But that might be they just 308 00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:49,080 Speaker 1: haven't figured out how to use them yet. Last week, 309 00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:53,080 Speaker 1: well last week I called Jeremy Curly a poor man's 310 00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:55,320 Speaker 1: Tavon Austin. Do we need to flip that around because 311 00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:58,040 Speaker 1: Curly's got it going off. I don't know they I 312 00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,040 Speaker 1: don't know if we should count out to have in 313 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,760 Speaker 1: Austin yet. But unbalanced. It was just not a good 314 00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:06,200 Speaker 1: showing by the Rams offense. They were just badly beating. 315 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:08,120 Speaker 1: This game was over by the second quarter. How would 316 00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:11,200 Speaker 1: we regard to Marco Murray if not for the St. 317 00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:15,120 Speaker 1: Louis Rams. He has one fourth of his career yards 318 00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,600 Speaker 1: in two games against the Rams. Yeah, he looked good 319 00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:19,840 Speaker 1: and they and they gave the ball to him. He 320 00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:21,920 Speaker 1: rushed for forty eight yards on their first drive of 321 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,640 Speaker 1: the game, which maxed out That beat their total for 322 00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:28,120 Speaker 1: the entire week before. So I imagine they're gonna continue 323 00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,120 Speaker 1: to that trend and try to give him the ball 324 00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:32,760 Speaker 1: early and and establish a tone that way. But there 325 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:34,600 Speaker 1: wasn't much else to take out of this. I do 326 00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:37,120 Speaker 1: think it's interesting this is the first year the Cowboys 327 00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:39,320 Speaker 1: have started too and oh at home at that new building. 328 00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:42,040 Speaker 1: Maybe they finally could have a home field advantage because 329 00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:44,040 Speaker 1: that has not been a very kind place to them. 330 00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:46,400 Speaker 1: But that was that game. I don't want to get 331 00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:48,920 Speaker 1: what happened to the Rams defense. So I mean, because 332 00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:51,200 Speaker 1: this was supposed to be going into the into the year, 333 00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:53,160 Speaker 1: maybe one of those units that contends to be a 334 00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,680 Speaker 1: top five group, and this three straight pretty poor performances. 335 00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:58,000 Speaker 1: They also, yeah, and they also went into this game. 336 00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:01,760 Speaker 1: I think they were ranked six against the run, so 337 00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:05,720 Speaker 1: maybe this was an anomaly this game. But uh yeah, 338 00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:08,680 Speaker 1: they couldn't stop Romo. He threw for three touchdowns and 339 00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:11,640 Speaker 1: Romo's quietly. I know he made some mistakes last week, 340 00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:13,880 Speaker 1: but he's putting up really good numbers again and we 341 00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:17,400 Speaker 1: might be looking at another Tony Romo excellent statistical season 342 00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:19,920 Speaker 1: and people have to decide whether that makes him a 343 00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:22,760 Speaker 1: great quarterback. But he's not paced for that um, so 344 00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:25,000 Speaker 1: that's what it was. Both. It was just the dominating effort. 345 00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:30,800 Speaker 1: All right, let's move forward, Mark Sessler. Cleveland Browns traded 346 00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:34,800 Speaker 1: the face of their franchise. Uh this week. Everyone thought 347 00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,640 Speaker 1: they were gonna give up. Instead, they go into Minnesota 348 00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:41,040 Speaker 1: and they win. How did that happen? Well, I'm not 349 00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:43,560 Speaker 1: quite sure. I did watch the game, and it caught 350 00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:46,520 Speaker 1: me by surprise. It was a weird game, honestly, and 351 00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:50,040 Speaker 1: Cleveland kind of dumped the playbook. I mean they were 352 00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:53,200 Speaker 1: running end arounds, they were running I saw a fake punt, 353 00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:54,920 Speaker 1: they did a fake field goal, I mean it all. 354 00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:58,120 Speaker 1: They capitalized on each of these plays. For me, the 355 00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:00,920 Speaker 1: big takeaway before we drilled on into any other part 356 00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:04,040 Speaker 1: of it, was that for a first year head coach, 357 00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:07,440 Speaker 1: after what happened this week, and probably a locker room 358 00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:10,640 Speaker 1: that was, if not divided, heading that way, I thought 359 00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:13,560 Speaker 1: Rob Chazinski coached a hell of a game. He did, 360 00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:15,800 Speaker 1: and I think that they he went out and got 361 00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:18,679 Speaker 1: two good coordinators and Norv Turner and Ray Horton. And 362 00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:22,359 Speaker 1: Horton especially hearing what he said during the week, what 363 00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:25,600 Speaker 1: he said to his defensive side of the ball, that 364 00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:30,880 Speaker 1: defense is very talented. Up front, they shut down Adrian Peterson. 365 00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:33,160 Speaker 1: They kept him in check. At least They had six 366 00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:37,200 Speaker 1: sacks today, all from six different players. They hit Christian 367 00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:40,520 Speaker 1: Ponder over and over. And I know it's quick. People 368 00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:42,480 Speaker 1: want to talk about Brian Hoyer X Y and Z 369 00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:44,919 Speaker 1: Horyer is gonna come back down to earth, But this 370 00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:48,639 Speaker 1: is defense. I think it actually has some real talent 371 00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:51,000 Speaker 1: to hang its hat on. How about your making the 372 00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:54,240 Speaker 1: leap guys, your two choices both from the brows. Jordan 373 00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:58,520 Speaker 1: Cameron three touchdowns, Josh Gordon comes back into the lineup 374 00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:01,119 Speaker 1: and really changed this entire offense. Yeah, I see, I'm 375 00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:04,640 Speaker 1: not even sure. I'm not sure Gordon even watches tape 376 00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:08,479 Speaker 1: or studies. He just very physically talented. And I mean 377 00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:10,600 Speaker 1: I'm not saying he doesn't. He just seems like the 378 00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:13,680 Speaker 1: guy has been suspended. He comes back and he makes 379 00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:17,639 Speaker 1: an immediate impact. We saw that beginning last season. You know, 380 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:19,920 Speaker 1: this is the first hundred yard game though he's had 381 00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:22,680 Speaker 1: since college and he didn't play a senior year in college, 382 00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:25,480 Speaker 1: so it's been a while. But he's shown that explosive 383 00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:29,520 Speaker 1: When it comes to to uh Cameron, I thought, oh, 384 00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:32,520 Speaker 1: initially or they're using Cameron very well, but that's another 385 00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:36,320 Speaker 1: extremely gifted athlete who actually can catch the ball. It's 386 00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:39,200 Speaker 1: not just one of these basketball playing guys are gonna 387 00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:41,600 Speaker 1: try to turn into a tight end. It's happened again 388 00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:44,359 Speaker 1: for North Turner. After three weeks. It looks like he 389 00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:47,359 Speaker 1: has a tight end that can make some incredible catches. 390 00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:50,639 Speaker 1: He's done it every week no matter who the quarterback is. 391 00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:53,040 Speaker 1: So yeah, they have some parts in place. And and 392 00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:55,959 Speaker 1: the running game was a complet like, I mean, an 393 00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:59,119 Speaker 1: ultra committee effort. They had five different guys run for 394 00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:02,159 Speaker 1: a hundred and three cards and you know, I'm not 395 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:04,480 Speaker 1: sure that's going to be their strong point. Obvious On 396 00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:07,080 Speaker 1: the other side of the ball, Christian Ponder, are we 397 00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:10,480 Speaker 1: heading toward a benching? Well, we said that in the 398 00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:13,000 Speaker 1: news room. I thought that Josh Freeman is on the 399 00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:16,480 Speaker 1: verge of a benching, but Ponder really number one. It's 400 00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:20,439 Speaker 1: a tough watch in that building because the Vikings fans 401 00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:23,560 Speaker 1: are on Ponder immediately, and he gave them a lot 402 00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:25,560 Speaker 1: of reason today. I mean, he's he's he did some 403 00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:28,080 Speaker 1: things that are gritty, but he's still Christian Ponder. And 404 00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:31,200 Speaker 1: it's almost like you're watching like a Barry Sanders in 405 00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:34,000 Speaker 1: the old Detroit Lions offense where it doesn't matter what 406 00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:38,240 Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson does, and defensive defenses are starting just to 407 00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:41,000 Speaker 1: test Ponder and he can't get it done. He threw 408 00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:44,879 Speaker 1: too many off kilter passes, he threw some terrible interceptions today. 409 00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:48,440 Speaker 1: He killed drives about the state of the Browns. Fan though, 410 00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:50,800 Speaker 1: I mean, I feel like this whole podcast was just 411 00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:54,800 Speaker 1: for play, getting us up to the Browns and Settler's 412 00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:57,919 Speaker 1: emotion and and is as it, are you feeling some 413 00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:00,800 Speaker 1: hope after this? I just well, I mean again, I honestly, 414 00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:03,040 Speaker 1: I think that they were laughing. They you know, the 415 00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:05,480 Speaker 1: Jets for Dan have been a complete laughing stock in 416 00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:08,960 Speaker 1: the Cleveland this week has been so heavily questioned for 417 00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:11,280 Speaker 1: what they did, and it's still to be seen if 418 00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:15,320 Speaker 1: that was a disastrous move or not. I like Chud's 419 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:18,560 Speaker 1: ability to handle the challenge and to keep his team 420 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:21,240 Speaker 1: very focused. They played really hard for him. I'm not 421 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:23,119 Speaker 1: sure what else to take out from that. I like that. 422 00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:25,400 Speaker 1: We'll see where it goes. And for the record, Trent 423 00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:29,840 Speaker 1: Richardson thirty five yards on thirteen carries in San Francisco today, 424 00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:32,639 Speaker 1: scored a touchdown, but average two point seven yards per 425 00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:36,760 Speaker 1: carry that smells familiar. So this is Brian Hoyer's team 426 00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:40,400 Speaker 1: until he has a debacle. I think it's I think 427 00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:44,200 Speaker 1: it's probably fair to question if Brandon Weeden will ever 428 00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:47,640 Speaker 1: play again. I don't think it's anyone's team because they're 429 00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:51,640 Speaker 1: going to ever play again. In totality, for Cleveland, they're 430 00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:59,800 Speaker 1: gonna close to the end of his career chronicle, it's 431 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:02,679 Speaker 1: question if I'll ever start again. But Cleveland, obviously we 432 00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:05,359 Speaker 1: heard this from everyone from rap Sheet to Mike Silver, 433 00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:07,960 Speaker 1: and they're clearly heat seeking a quarterback in the draft. 434 00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:11,240 Speaker 1: But they have a backup in Hoyer at this point 435 00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:13,480 Speaker 1: that I think they believe in much more than anyone 436 00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:15,080 Speaker 1: else in the team. Wouldn't it be funny if the 437 00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:19,440 Speaker 1: Steelers beat him to Teddy Bridgewater. I was thinking about that. 438 00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:22,520 Speaker 1: I was thinking about that, all right, Mark. You also 439 00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:26,520 Speaker 1: watched the New England Patriots, UH easily dispatched the Tampa 440 00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:29,760 Speaker 1: Bay Buccaneers three and Foxborough. What a great schedule the 441 00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:32,560 Speaker 1: Pats have had early on. I honestly give this much 442 00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:36,240 Speaker 1: more to New England's defense. I think that they sneakily 443 00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:41,040 Speaker 1: have built a really um athletic young group that seems 444 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:44,159 Speaker 1: a little different than past Patriots defenses. To me, uh, 445 00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:47,960 Speaker 1: they completely took the Bucks out of this game right away, 446 00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:50,080 Speaker 1: and that's part on that's on Freeman to some degree. 447 00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:53,439 Speaker 1: He was really a mess. And we saw Mike Glennan 448 00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:55,720 Speaker 1: warming up in the third quarter, and Greg and I 449 00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:57,919 Speaker 1: we started to work up a post because it seemed 450 00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:00,040 Speaker 1: sure that they were gonna make a switch, and we 451 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:01,679 Speaker 1: talked before the game. We thought this might be the 452 00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:04,200 Speaker 1: week that would happen. I'm pretty sure that will happen 453 00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:08,040 Speaker 1: next week. That's my guests that that Glennan will start week. 454 00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:10,120 Speaker 1: For what's the point of you know, what's the point 455 00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:13,119 Speaker 1: of keeping Josh Freeman around at this point there? Oh 456 00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:15,919 Speaker 1: and three, it's clear that he's lost support within his 457 00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:18,480 Speaker 1: own building and his coach doesn't like him. You gotta 458 00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:21,640 Speaker 1: do something to save your season. I wish more quarterbacks 459 00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:24,360 Speaker 1: could get traded during the season, but it's so hard 460 00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:28,280 Speaker 1: with learning an offense. But to me, he can play 461 00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:31,399 Speaker 1: better than he's played at that relationship has just ruined. 462 00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:33,720 Speaker 1: I agree so much, because he'll do things. You know, 463 00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:36,800 Speaker 1: early in the game, he and Vincent Jackson and Mike Williams, 464 00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:40,240 Speaker 1: they were testing New England's cornerbacks and having some success 465 00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:42,399 Speaker 1: and in the when they're hot. That's why they're hot, 466 00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:44,560 Speaker 1: because he finds ways to make big plays with his 467 00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:46,720 Speaker 1: white outs. I love his arm. It's just that he's 468 00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:51,119 Speaker 1: so he's so scattershot. He throws the ball sometimes with 469 00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:53,720 Speaker 1: such poor decision making and that and I think that 470 00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:56,000 Speaker 1: that his head is not on the right place in Tampa. 471 00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:58,240 Speaker 1: Right now, you're right? All right? Now comes the point 472 00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:01,600 Speaker 1: in the Sunday Night podcast where we reach out to 473 00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:05,719 Speaker 1: our Chicago based at L writer, the great Kevin Patra 474 00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:09,680 Speaker 1: k rich is Patrick ready to speak with us? I 475 00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:13,880 Speaker 1: spoke to him to four and he seems ready, all right? Anxious? Wow? 476 00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:16,480 Speaker 1: Is that true, Patra?

Room full of heroes, especially after Alliance victory. 478 00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:23,800 Speaker 1: I can hear a little pep in your voice. Yeah, 479 00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:26,760 Speaker 1: I pep after a good victory. I can imagine Patra 480 00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:30,680 Speaker 1: right now and like a Chicago cigar shop, smoking one 481 00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:36,159 Speaker 1: with common, just hanging out enjoying. Really nice look it up, 482 00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:39,440 Speaker 1: a really nice victory. Uh. But for the lines. But 483 00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:41,000 Speaker 1: let's start with the other game. We're gonna get to 484 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:43,680 Speaker 1: the Lions who the game. You also watched. But let's 485 00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:46,960 Speaker 1: start with the New Orleans Saints. Um took care of 486 00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:49,359 Speaker 1: business at home against the Arizona Cardinals. What did you 487 00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:51,520 Speaker 1: see there, Kevin taking care of business is a great 488 00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:53,560 Speaker 1: way to put up you know what? Thank you? Drew 489 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:56,679 Speaker 1: Brees reminds me of watching Floyd made one despight, you 490 00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:58,240 Speaker 1: know the other the other guy might have a few 491 00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:00,840 Speaker 1: jobs in the beginning, but at the end of the day, 492 00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:02,960 Speaker 1: you know that you know what the outcome is gonna be. 493 00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:06,040 Speaker 1: The Cardinals hung in there in the beginning. They they 494 00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:07,760 Speaker 1: got a couple of sacks, they had four sack in 495 00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:09,840 Speaker 1: the game. They got some pressure, but you know, they 496 00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:11,840 Speaker 1: had a couple of injury. Sam Mastro left to the game, 497 00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:13,600 Speaker 1: and then Bree just picked them apart. And they got 498 00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:16,640 Speaker 1: no answers for Jimmy Graham. I mean, whether they put 499 00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:19,560 Speaker 1: Peterson on him, Matthew on him. I don't even know 500 00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:21,720 Speaker 1: if Free would have seen Matthew behind Jimmy Graham on 501 00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:25,160 Speaker 1: a couple of prows. And how about the defense? And 502 00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:29,399 Speaker 1: again my favorite weekly segment, does Chris Wesley believe in 503 00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:33,200 Speaker 1: Bad Santa And the biggest defensive turnaround in the history 504 00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:36,560 Speaker 1: of the NFL Greg's stand for me. At the moment, 505 00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:41,400 Speaker 1: I have no prepared statement, but I will say I 506 00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:44,600 Speaker 1: was wrong about the Saints defense. I didn't know that 507 00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:47,040 Speaker 1: Cameron Jordan was going to turn into j J. Watt 508 00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:50,840 Speaker 1: this year victory. He was an absolute beast. He's been 509 00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:54,600 Speaker 1: a beast all year and I didn't see it coming. Yeah, 510 00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:56,359 Speaker 1: him and Junior Glad just set up in the in 511 00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:59,480 Speaker 1: the Cardinals backfield. I mean, Carson Palmer had like no 512 00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:01,439 Speaker 1: time to throw. He had like one beat and it 513 00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:03,359 Speaker 1: was out and it was gone, it was over with 514 00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:05,199 Speaker 1: he had people in his face all day. He had 515 00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:07,240 Speaker 1: so many throwaways that it couldn't even count them all. 516 00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:09,919 Speaker 1: And how about the Saints, you know, not given a 517 00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:12,240 Speaker 1: chance to win this division by many in this room. 518 00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:15,280 Speaker 1: At least now up a couple of games in the NFC. 519 00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:17,720 Speaker 1: South Falcons are struggling a little bit. They're one of 520 00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:20,760 Speaker 1: the early stories in the NFL. They certainly are that. 521 00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:23,360 Speaker 1: I mean, when every time you have Breeze in the game, 522 00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:25,040 Speaker 1: you got a chance, and Shawn Fay is coming back, 523 00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:26,840 Speaker 1: the play calling has been good, the running games to 524 00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:29,800 Speaker 1: awesome question marks. I think Breeze was actually the leader 525 00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:32,680 Speaker 1: at half time with when he knelt to go into 526 00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:35,119 Speaker 1: half with a negative yard had four carries in the 527 00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:37,719 Speaker 1: first half. But other than that, you know, you can 528 00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:39,760 Speaker 1: nit pick all you want, but it's breeze this team. 529 00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:41,359 Speaker 1: He's gonna throw it and through it all day on 530 00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:44,320 Speaker 1: a on a team that has played a decent defense 531 00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:45,720 Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks. So do you think we 532 00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:47,400 Speaker 1: should buy in on the Saints? Is a real player? 533 00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:50,879 Speaker 1: I'm buying in. I was I thought they would. They would, 534 00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:53,280 Speaker 1: they would be a wild card team to begin with 535 00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:56,159 Speaker 1: with Peyton coming back. But this team seems like I 536 00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:58,280 Speaker 1: have it all. The defense is short up so far, 537 00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:01,199 Speaker 1: they haven't really facing powered one year. We'll see when 538 00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:04,080 Speaker 1: they come against the Falcons. But I mean right now, 539 00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:06,560 Speaker 1: they're they're just all over all over the past rush 540 00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:09,320 Speaker 1: is great. It's helping out the backside right now. Tonight 541 00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:12,760 Speaker 1: they looked unbeatable. Don't look now, but either the Dolphins 542 00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:14,960 Speaker 1: or the Saints will be four and oh after next week. 543 00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:19,440 Speaker 1: That's a good game, okay, And now let's let's move 544 00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:21,879 Speaker 1: on to your other game. You watched your Detroit Lions 545 00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:27,359 Speaker 1: take care of his over the Redskins. What did you see? Yeah? Um, 546 00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:28,959 Speaker 1: you know we can focus on r G three. I 547 00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:31,359 Speaker 1: think you know he played. He played pretty well for 548 00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:33,119 Speaker 1: a guy in his third game back. I think that 549 00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:35,880 Speaker 1: his storyline is a little overblown, knit picking. He did 550 00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:39,000 Speaker 1: have two turnovers that were killer, but he looked all right. 551 00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:41,879 Speaker 1: He only ran two two designed runs and it's as 552 00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:45,320 Speaker 1: other other four runs were a couple scrambles. The big problem, 553 00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:47,160 Speaker 1: you know, the big turnover when he scrambled for twenty 554 00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:49,679 Speaker 1: one yards and then go forward instead of sliding when 555 00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:51,200 Speaker 1: he was trying to give himself up and fumbled. That 556 00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:53,560 Speaker 1: was a huge play in the game. But he looked 557 00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:55,199 Speaker 1: all right. He still doesn't have everything on his on 558 00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:56,879 Speaker 1: his balls. He did have a nice deep throw that 559 00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:59,800 Speaker 1: got touched on the gout overturned. But he's coming along, 560 00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:01,680 Speaker 1: you and see as he gets more reps, he's gonna 561 00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:03,760 Speaker 1: get better. He just we just gotta give him time. 562 00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:06,600 Speaker 1: Our expectations for him coming this season were overblown, but 563 00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:10,120 Speaker 1: their own though. I mean, at some point they're gonna 564 00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:13,959 Speaker 1: have to start winning some games, right, But the problem 565 00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:15,920 Speaker 1: is not with him. I didn't see in this game 566 00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:19,000 Speaker 1: and stared. Their defense was just awful. I mean, the 567 00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:21,600 Speaker 1: lines didn't even take take that all the opportunities that 568 00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:24,920 Speaker 1: they were presented. The angelaw the early pick for score, 569 00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:27,479 Speaker 1: but after that, the Lions in the past game we're 570 00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:31,800 Speaker 1: getting I mean, the Redskins secondary literally lost neb Brilison 571 00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:33,720 Speaker 1: on like at least two or three plays where he 572 00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:36,920 Speaker 1: went for big yards. Brolson had a hundred hundred six 573 00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:41,760 Speaker 1: yards catching receiving, I mean, and from the Lions perspective, 574 00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:43,959 Speaker 1: they needed that boots. With Reggie Bush out of the game, 575 00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:46,840 Speaker 1: they needed somebody that could be second fiddled to Calvin Johnson, 576 00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:49,800 Speaker 1: and Joyce Belt wasn't going to be that guy. He 577 00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:52,520 Speaker 1: did have twenty carries and still only one for sixty 578 00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:54,639 Speaker 1: three yards. Their run game isn't gonna be anything, but 579 00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:57,480 Speaker 1: that Redskins secondary just couldn't handle. Young guys were getting 580 00:27:57,480 --> 00:27:59,840 Speaker 1: burned all day. How did r G three's look on 581 00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:02,920 Speaker 1: that thirty five yard run or however long it was, Yeah, 582 00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:04,560 Speaker 1: you know, he actually look he got he had some 583 00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:07,360 Speaker 1: bursts he went, but he dropped back. There was some pressure. 584 00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:09,920 Speaker 1: He came up. He had hit a quick burst, because 585 00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:10,879 Speaker 1: that's what I was looking for in the run. I 586 00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:12,640 Speaker 1: was like, We'll see how far he gets, and he 587 00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:15,159 Speaker 1: looked like he had the burst that we saw last year. 588 00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:18,480 Speaker 1: Maybe it wasn't as immediate, but he had some momentum going. 589 00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:20,320 Speaker 1: He outran a few guys that had a little bit 590 00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:22,360 Speaker 1: of angle on and then when he saw him conversion, 591 00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:25,000 Speaker 1: he do he dope? Had person fumbled? He looked like 592 00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:27,600 Speaker 1: that was good. If he s that he had slid properly, 593 00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:29,439 Speaker 1: that would have been the play we've seen on the highlights, 594 00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:30,760 Speaker 1: if they would have punched it in and said, oh, 595 00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:35,439 Speaker 1: look he's back Kevin. So the Redskins give up one thousand, 596 00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:38,160 Speaker 1: four hundred and sixty four yards in three games, the 597 00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:40,880 Speaker 1: most in NFL history. Are you concerned that the Lions 598 00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:45,640 Speaker 1: scored only twenty seven points? And you know I could, 599 00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:47,480 Speaker 1: I couldn't pick on that, and I you know I 600 00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:50,400 Speaker 1: usually usually do. I mean, the run game was obviously 601 00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:53,720 Speaker 1: concerned against a rush defense that had given up major 602 00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:55,320 Speaker 1: yard in the first two weeks of the season, and 603 00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:59,400 Speaker 1: they couldn't do anything on twenty three carries. Reggie Bush, 604 00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:00,880 Speaker 1: I mean, then he's to be saying, I mean, give 605 00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:02,760 Speaker 1: the guys a break here. They hadn't. This is their 606 00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:08,240 Speaker 1: first franchise victory in Washington, right first d I was 607 00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:10,120 Speaker 1: raising my hands to that one. How is that possible 608 00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:13,360 Speaker 1: first win against the Redskins since they were the Boston Braves. 609 00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:16,520 Speaker 1: No one, it beats the Lions twenty two straight times 610 00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:22,719 Speaker 1: in Washington, doesn't happen? Um? All right, Kevin? And and finally, 611 00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:24,800 Speaker 1: I'd like to hear your thoughts. I'll give you about 612 00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:27,720 Speaker 1: five minutes to explain your thoughts on the Redskins name, 613 00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:31,520 Speaker 1: whether it should be changed. No, just kidding. You can 614 00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:33,719 Speaker 1: just call him the Washington Griffins, since says all anybody 615 00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:36,400 Speaker 1: seems to care about anyway. Alright, good answer, h Kevin, 616 00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:38,160 Speaker 1: Thank you very much. You could go back to whatever 617 00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:40,200 Speaker 1: you're doing there. We'll watch this great sun in a 618 00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:43,560 Speaker 1: football game. Alright, Moving right along. Always nice to talk 619 00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:45,840 Speaker 1: to Kevin Patrick, but we need to move along. We 620 00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:48,960 Speaker 1: have Greg Rosenthal tell us about Wow. Greg is excited, 621 00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:50,520 Speaker 1: but he might even stand up for a third time 622 00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:53,400 Speaker 1: in one podcast. The Miami Dolphins take care of business 623 00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:57,160 Speaker 1: at home three win over the Falcons. Well, I'm not 624 00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:00,920 Speaker 1: just excited about the Tannehill bandwaggings starting to fill up 625 00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:03,040 Speaker 1: that we talked about last week as a as a 626 00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:06,320 Speaker 1: big narrative. But you know, you mentioned the NFC West, 627 00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:10,000 Speaker 1: mentioned that as the greatest division on Earth, you know 628 00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:11,840 Speaker 1: before the season, and how about the a f C 629 00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:15,960 Speaker 1: East is undefeated out of the division this year six 630 00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:19,760 Speaker 1: and oh a f C East. Uh. This game was 631 00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:22,120 Speaker 1: one of those games that reminded me of a Falcons 632 00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:24,360 Speaker 1: win from a year ago. The Dolphins were down the 633 00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:27,120 Speaker 1: whole game. The Falcons look like the better team. They 634 00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:29,680 Speaker 1: controlled the line of scrimmage, they hit Tannehill a ton, 635 00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:32,000 Speaker 1: A lot of good things were happening. They're running the 636 00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:35,160 Speaker 1: ball well, and then at the end, Tannehill is the 637 00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:38,600 Speaker 1: one who plays his best, has a great touchdown drive 638 00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:41,120 Speaker 1: to win the game. They kind of snuck this one out. 639 00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:43,440 Speaker 1: They barely had the ball in the game, and it's 640 00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:45,880 Speaker 1: just kind of another step in this team's development now 641 00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:48,000 Speaker 1: that they're figuring out ways to win games that they 642 00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:50,000 Speaker 1: probably shouldn't have won. What is Jeff Ireland going to 643 00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:54,800 Speaker 1: get his contract extension because he's built a juggernaut've like 644 00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:59,280 Speaker 1: six days. You better lock him up soon because otherwise, 645 00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:02,240 Speaker 1: you know, team's gonna step in and get Ireland. I 646 00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:04,160 Speaker 1: was flipping over to this game every once in a 647 00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:08,680 Speaker 1: while because I was stuck with the Jaguars Seahawks mismatch. 648 00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:12,880 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, hanging their listeners because we're getting there. And 649 00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:15,080 Speaker 1: it seemed to be that the Falcons just blew so 650 00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:18,240 Speaker 1: many opportunities where they settled for a field goal instead 651 00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:21,600 Speaker 1: of a touchdown. And I guess my question is I 652 00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:24,400 Speaker 1: saw the first two games that I think Tony Gonzalez 653 00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:27,080 Speaker 1: looks slower this year. They didn't. Apparently they weren't looking 654 00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:28,880 Speaker 1: for him in the in the end zone. This because 655 00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:31,440 Speaker 1: he's usually Matt Ryan's fallback guy in the end zone. Yeah, 656 00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:33,440 Speaker 1: that's at the great point. He had twenty four yards 657 00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:35,200 Speaker 1: in this game, and they looked like they were making 658 00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:37,240 Speaker 1: a concerted effort to get him involved. On the first 659 00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:39,000 Speaker 1: drive of the game, I think he had three catches, 660 00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:42,640 Speaker 1: and after that he was totally not to be found. 661 00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:46,120 Speaker 1: I mean, they're leading receiver after Julio Jones with Jason Snelling, 662 00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:49,440 Speaker 1: and can I make one point on that. I understand 663 00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:53,160 Speaker 1: Tony Gonzalez earned the right or something to sit out 664 00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:56,080 Speaker 1: all of offseason training and the most of training camp, 665 00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:58,600 Speaker 1: but you know, this isn't a relief pitcher or something 666 00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:01,880 Speaker 1: where he just needs a couple appearances to get ready 667 00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:04,600 Speaker 1: or you know, this is a this is a professional 668 00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:07,400 Speaker 1: football player, a tight end. I mean you figure at 669 00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:10,240 Speaker 1: that advanced age, the guy would need a full training 670 00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:12,960 Speaker 1: camp to be ready for the season. I might put 671 00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:15,600 Speaker 1: something into the fact that this guy basically disappeared for 672 00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:16,760 Speaker 1: the summer and now, all of a sudden he was 673 00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:21,200 Speaker 1: supposed to still be Tony Gonzalz didn't his statistically best 674 00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:23,840 Speaker 1: season after pulling the same stunt. It's a little different, though, 675 00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:26,320 Speaker 1: Quarterbacks different too. To me. I feel like, you know, 676 00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:29,040 Speaker 1: when you're a skill position player at at tight end, 677 00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:30,960 Speaker 1: you know, I get some rep that's a fair point. 678 00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:33,800 Speaker 1: Hasn't reached the hundred yards on the season yet after 679 00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:37,040 Speaker 1: three games, he's under ten yards per catch, and they 680 00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:39,600 Speaker 1: need him so badly right now because Roddy White's out 681 00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:42,640 Speaker 1: there limping on one leg. Uh. They were, like you 682 00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:44,520 Speaker 1: mentioned in the red zone, they were two for five. 683 00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:46,400 Speaker 1: The Dolphins were three for three, and that was kind 684 00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:48,200 Speaker 1: of the story. If I had to ask you to 685 00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:50,880 Speaker 1: sum up why the Falcons for one and two in 686 00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:53,320 Speaker 1: like one or two sentences, what would you say? I 687 00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:56,600 Speaker 1: would say they're shorthanded on offense. That would be it. 688 00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:59,440 Speaker 1: I mean, White's not there. You know, they didn't really 689 00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:02,440 Speaker 1: miss Steve Jackson today. Gonzalez isn't the same Sam Baker. 690 00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:05,000 Speaker 1: Their left tackles not there. They're not protecting him, and 691 00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:07,480 Speaker 1: so they're they're a shorthanded team right now. It seems 692 00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:11,240 Speaker 1: like they actually protected Ryan better without Sam Baker. Well 693 00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:12,880 Speaker 1: they were. They were just getting rid of the ball. Though. 694 00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:17,080 Speaker 1: They're changing their whole offense to me too adjust for 695 00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:19,640 Speaker 1: all their shortcomings. I mean, they're they're throwing dink and dug, 696 00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:21,840 Speaker 1: not going down the field at all. I hope Mrs 697 00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:26,840 Speaker 1: Baker's not listening to this in particular, she's a big 698 00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:30,960 Speaker 1: fan of Lyle the intern um and any any other 699 00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:34,320 Speaker 1: word Greg about Ryan Tannehill before we move on. This 700 00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:36,720 Speaker 1: wasn't his best game even and and they found a 701 00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:38,800 Speaker 1: way to win. He had a couple of beautiful throws 702 00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:41,320 Speaker 1: on the touchdown drive, and he's had a knack for 703 00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:44,360 Speaker 1: you know, he's now. He did it versus Seattle last year, 704 00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:46,760 Speaker 1: he did it versus Indianapolis. So it wasn't even his 705 00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:49,200 Speaker 1: best game and they won. I think that's a good 706 00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:52,400 Speaker 1: sign for them. I could just see Ryan with Lauren 707 00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:56,200 Speaker 1: on relaxing on a sofa bed right now, fourteen dogs 708 00:33:56,240 --> 00:34:00,680 Speaker 1: around them, enjoying life. Probably not life at this point. 709 00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:02,560 Speaker 1: I have a question for you, Dan, do you plan 710 00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:05,800 Speaker 1: on skipping the Titans and Chargers game? Do you want 711 00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:08,840 Speaker 1: me to? I just thought that would be like in 712 00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:13,840 Speaker 1: the one o'clock games. He's asking you to segue directly 713 00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:16,040 Speaker 1: into that game. Well, let's talk about it then, because 714 00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:18,520 Speaker 1: clearly I didn't. I didn't make a mistake. It was 715 00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:21,120 Speaker 1: something I was planning all along. But why did you 716 00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:24,200 Speaker 1: tell us about that game? Chris Wesley? This was you 717 00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:26,400 Speaker 1: could say it was Jake Locker's coming out party. If 718 00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:29,200 Speaker 1: you believe that Jake Locker is really coming out, I'm 719 00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:32,240 Speaker 1: not sure I do. We we talked about Josh Freeman 720 00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:36,520 Speaker 1: his erratic scatter shot throwing. Whenever Jake Locker goes back 721 00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:38,799 Speaker 1: to throw, I feel like there's a fifty it's gonna 722 00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:42,120 Speaker 1: be within five yards of the wide receiver. And this 723 00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:45,560 Speaker 1: was probably his most impressive game as an NFL quarterback, 724 00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:49,080 Speaker 1: and uh I spent the first three quarters wondering if 725 00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:51,439 Speaker 1: he would complete his passes. Is this a team that's 726 00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:54,480 Speaker 1: quietly going to go draft a quarterback in April and 727 00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:57,319 Speaker 1: get an end the Jake Locker experiment. I think it's 728 00:34:57,320 --> 00:34:59,239 Speaker 1: way too early to even Hanzard, a guest on that 729 00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:01,520 Speaker 1: it depict It fully depends on what happens the next 730 00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:05,279 Speaker 1: thirteen games. Wait, why we they won? They won? Yeah, 731 00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:07,920 Speaker 1: but he is a limiting part of their offense and 732 00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:11,120 Speaker 1: MPIs through the Touchdow. I don't think it's a coincidence 733 00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:14,279 Speaker 1: that he played his best drive when Kenny Britt was 734 00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:17,920 Speaker 1: watching him from the sidelines. Kenny Britt has been I mean, 735 00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:19,440 Speaker 1: you could make the argument he's the worst starter in 736 00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:22,240 Speaker 1: the NFL this year. And how about the Chargers blowing 737 00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:26,600 Speaker 1: another game? I mean, I feel Dan's hero picked Paine 738 00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:29,040 Speaker 1: from week one where he picked the Chargers. I had 739 00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:31,800 Speaker 1: them as my hero pick today. Never picked the Chargers. 740 00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:35,839 Speaker 1: Why did they do anything coaching wise that that led 741 00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:41,040 Speaker 1: to this? Yes they did? Uh they pulled a Ron Rivera. Yeah, 742 00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:43,399 Speaker 1: they had the lead and it wasn't a big lead. 743 00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:46,080 Speaker 1: It was a four point lead. They ran Ryan Matthews 744 00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:49,560 Speaker 1: six straight runs. They had a third down in semi long. 745 00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:51,600 Speaker 1: They didn't even attempt to pass it. They just ran 746 00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:55,239 Speaker 1: Ryan Matthews into the line to try to basically, did 747 00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:57,120 Speaker 1: dare Jake Locker to beat him in a two minute drill? 748 00:35:57,160 --> 00:36:00,080 Speaker 1: And he did it. They went conservative on offense. What 749 00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:01,719 Speaker 1: a weird start. I mean there there are a couple 750 00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:03,960 Speaker 1: of plays away from being three and oh now I'm 751 00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:06,080 Speaker 1: not going as far as Dan to never picked them again, 752 00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:10,040 Speaker 1: but w that one cut deep, Mike McCoy, he's done. 753 00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:12,160 Speaker 1: He's taken two hero picks from the A T. L crew. 754 00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:16,919 Speaker 1: Let's let's not ever forget that, all right, West, Thank 755 00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:19,120 Speaker 1: you for reminding me, although I always knew it was 756 00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:21,800 Speaker 1: never a mistake. Um Now, one mistake you want to 757 00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:27,399 Speaker 1: talk about mistakes? The New York Jets one today they 758 00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:33,040 Speaker 1: have over the Bills, but they committed twenty penalties for 759 00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:35,919 Speaker 1: one and sixty eight yards. That is not only that's 760 00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:40,040 Speaker 1: a team record, Uh good job, Rex, and also just 761 00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:42,799 Speaker 1: two penalty shy of the NFL record for penalties in 762 00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:45,640 Speaker 1: a game. Um So, if there's if there's a way 763 00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:49,359 Speaker 1: to be disappointed by a win, I suppose you could 764 00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:51,440 Speaker 1: be on that on that level as a coach. But 765 00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:53,920 Speaker 1: they're not going to give it back. Geno Smith vers 766 00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:58,440 Speaker 1: EJ Manuel. The two rookie quarterbacks, Uh Gino outplayed uh Manual, 767 00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:00,839 Speaker 1: There's no way around it. A lot of that went 768 00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:03,000 Speaker 1: back to the Jets defense, who always seemed to play 769 00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:06,080 Speaker 1: well against the Bills, especially at home, and in this case, 770 00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:08,920 Speaker 1: Rex did a good job. It was clear that Manuel 771 00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:11,399 Speaker 1: was never comfortable. Comfortable he did not play a good game. 772 00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:14,399 Speaker 1: And Uh Gino Smith is the first Jets rookie ever 773 00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:16,680 Speaker 1: uh to throw for over three hundred yards and two 774 00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:18,560 Speaker 1: touchdowns in a game. And he got a lot of 775 00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:21,719 Speaker 1: that yardage a long bomb to Stephen Hill for a 776 00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:23,799 Speaker 1: touchdown who actually caught it and that was stunning. And 777 00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:26,239 Speaker 1: then Santonio Holmes. The biggest takeaway for the Jets is 778 00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:28,920 Speaker 1: Holmes looks healthy. Uh. He had, he went over a 779 00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:31,960 Speaker 1: hundred yards, I believe went over one fifty and uh 780 00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:34,680 Speaker 1: the game winning touchdown ultimately in the fourth quarter. He 781 00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:36,799 Speaker 1: looks great and the first time you could say that 782 00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:39,919 Speaker 1: in over a year. Hey gave it up for Rex. 783 00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:43,760 Speaker 1: And after next week, either the Titans or the Jets 784 00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:46,600 Speaker 1: will be three and one. So there's a good chance 785 00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:49,919 Speaker 1: the Jets might be three and one. And the guy, 786 00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:53,680 Speaker 1: for all of his all the controversy surrounding him, whether 787 00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:57,080 Speaker 1: he's a buffoon or not, he could coach defense. There's 788 00:37:57,080 --> 00:37:59,040 Speaker 1: no question he could coach defense. This was not a 789 00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:01,799 Speaker 1: great game for Rex, though, I have to say the 790 00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:04,120 Speaker 1: penalties always as a reflection to me of the of 791 00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:07,120 Speaker 1: the coaching and also you have um he had two 792 00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:09,920 Speaker 1: terrible challenges. He burned both his challenges by throwing the 793 00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:13,160 Speaker 1: red flag over the span of about five real time 794 00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:16,040 Speaker 1: minutes on two challenges that uh, there's no chance that 795 00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:17,799 Speaker 1: Jets had to win, and then they ended up not 796 00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:21,320 Speaker 1: being able to challenge a fumble by Buffalo. So you know, Rex, 797 00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:23,480 Speaker 1: it's it's always a mixed bag with him. But you're right, 798 00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:26,040 Speaker 1: I mean there two and one. I think it was ESPN. 799 00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:28,080 Speaker 1: They're all their writers agreed the Jets with the worst 800 00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:30,560 Speaker 1: team in football before the season started, and now they 801 00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:32,759 Speaker 1: have a two and one record, and they could very 802 00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:36,200 Speaker 1: easily get to three and one. So you know, on balanced, 803 00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:37,800 Speaker 1: it was a good day for the Jets, but also 804 00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:40,360 Speaker 1: you know, you can't get too excited. And and Gino, 805 00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:42,760 Speaker 1: by the way, Gino did go over through into yards, 806 00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:45,040 Speaker 1: but he also threw two bad interceptions. That's going to 807 00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:47,680 Speaker 1: continue to happen, and when they play better teams, they're 808 00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:49,520 Speaker 1: not gonna get away with that. One question for you. 809 00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:53,480 Speaker 1: They've tried to replace Darrell Revas with a mixture of 810 00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:57,840 Speaker 1: what Kyle Wilson and uh D Milner and A Millner 811 00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:00,160 Speaker 1: is coming off being benched last week. What's what do 812 00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:02,479 Speaker 1: you see at the cornerback position. I mean they're doing 813 00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:05,799 Speaker 1: they're doing a good job making up for the loss 814 00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:09,040 Speaker 1: of Rubs. You could they had. They actually played very poorly, 815 00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:11,680 Speaker 1: I thought, especially in the first half against the Patriots 816 00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:14,800 Speaker 1: in their secondary and the pats Is dysfunction on offense 817 00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:17,360 Speaker 1: that night saved that game from getting out of hand early. 818 00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:20,440 Speaker 1: But today they were a lot better. Cramarti is really 819 00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:22,960 Speaker 1: and this carries over from last year, has become a 820 00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:26,320 Speaker 1: top flight corner He's he's shutting down. Uh, he's shutting 821 00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:29,080 Speaker 1: down the opposing number one a lot. And uh. You know, 822 00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:31,160 Speaker 1: they have a good front line. The defenses. Like I've 823 00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:33,280 Speaker 1: been saying, the defense is gonna keep them in games. 824 00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:35,480 Speaker 1: I don't still don't think they're gonna win a lot 825 00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:37,120 Speaker 1: of games, but they're gonna be close in a lot 826 00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:40,839 Speaker 1: of games. Next up, Wes, you alluded to the game 827 00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:44,120 Speaker 1: earlier the Seattle Seahawks. Somehow they managed to get by 828 00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:47,080 Speaker 1: the Jacksonville Jaguars at home. You know these games that 829 00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:50,720 Speaker 1: we always they you think they're gonna be a blowout, 830 00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:52,960 Speaker 1: they don't always end this way. This game went exactly 831 00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:55,359 Speaker 1: how you thought it would go. Seahawks blew them out 832 00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:57,439 Speaker 1: of the building. Their starters were out by the middle 833 00:39:57,440 --> 00:40:00,319 Speaker 1: of the third quarter. And the key takeaway from was 834 00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:03,120 Speaker 1: that Seattle we knew they had the deepest roster in 835 00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:05,560 Speaker 1: the league. Their backups are better than the Jaguar starters. 836 00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:10,400 Speaker 1: That says it all right there there. I mean and 837 00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:14,399 Speaker 1: and Nougus Bradley revenge factor likes. Well, let me ask 838 00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:18,479 Speaker 1: you one question. Has Chad Henny done anything to keep, 839 00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:21,360 Speaker 1: of all people blame Gabbert from coming back into the 840 00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:26,239 Speaker 1: starting seat. Chad Hanny looks exactly like Chad Hanny's always looked, uh, 841 00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:28,919 Speaker 1: scatter shot, takes too many sacks, turns the ball over 842 00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:32,359 Speaker 1: too much. He's both of those guys. You know who 843 00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:34,400 Speaker 1: they are by now. Well, then part B or is 844 00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:37,120 Speaker 1: it on the Jaguars for not having gone out after 845 00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:41,000 Speaker 1: having these two quarterbacks last year, not going out before 846 00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:45,920 Speaker 1: the season and getting someone else? No, because I just think, 847 00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:49,920 Speaker 1: don't force the quarterback pick in the draft and you 848 00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:52,359 Speaker 1: gotta wait to find the right quarterback. They're building up 849 00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:54,160 Speaker 1: something and maybe it'll work out. Well. It's kind of 850 00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:55,960 Speaker 1: like when the NBA teams tank and get the one 851 00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:59,960 Speaker 1: pick and that takes us to the final game of Sunday. 852 00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:04,280 Speaker 1: Oh boy, the Pittsburgh Steelers are in deep trouble. Um. 853 00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:06,120 Speaker 1: We got back into the game, but got taken down 854 00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:09,640 Speaker 1: ultimately by the Bears. Greg, what are you seeing here? Well, 855 00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:11,560 Speaker 1: a lot of people are gonna talk about the Steelers 856 00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:13,600 Speaker 1: being oh and three and that is a big story. 857 00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:16,400 Speaker 1: And my Ben Roethlisberger m v P pick is beyond 858 00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:18,759 Speaker 1: embarrassing at this point. But I want to point to 859 00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:21,800 Speaker 1: the Bears. With the game on the line and everything 860 00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:26,000 Speaker 1: seems to be crumbling. You know, Jake Cutler, Brandon Marshall, 861 00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:29,040 Speaker 1: and Earl Bennett put together three of the prettiest third 862 00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:31,239 Speaker 1: down plays you'll ever see. Cutler with a couple of 863 00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:35,480 Speaker 1: great throws, one great run, terrific catch by Marshall. Bennett 864 00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:37,080 Speaker 1: makes one of the best catches of the year to 865 00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:39,160 Speaker 1: put the game away, and you just have to give 866 00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:41,640 Speaker 1: the Bears team credit again for playing their best in 867 00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:44,880 Speaker 1: the passing game when it matters. That touchdown pass to 868 00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:47,920 Speaker 1: Bennett reminded me of the Santonio Homes touchdown in the 869 00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:50,520 Speaker 1: Super Bowl. Cutler had to put it in the exact 870 00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:54,440 Speaker 1: right spot and he did. Um the the other takeaway 871 00:41:54,480 --> 00:41:56,560 Speaker 1: for this game is the Bears. Henry Milton's one of 872 00:41:56,560 --> 00:41:58,759 Speaker 1: their best defensive players. We saw him get carted off 873 00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:02,400 Speaker 1: with what looks to be a really serious knee injury. Um, 874 00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:05,920 Speaker 1: you know, we saw clayde kind of guaranteed his thirty 875 00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:09,080 Speaker 1: three million before his season and in ending injury. And 876 00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:11,239 Speaker 1: Melton is kind of the flip side of that. He 877 00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:15,040 Speaker 1: decided to play out his contract and now, um, his 878 00:42:15,160 --> 00:42:18,239 Speaker 1: earning power is probably gonna take a hit. And for me, 879 00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:20,920 Speaker 1: what I take out of this game actually is in 880 00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:24,680 Speaker 1: tandem with another well established NFL franchise that lost day, 881 00:42:24,719 --> 00:42:27,160 Speaker 1: the Giants and the Steelers, two teams that you thought 882 00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:30,400 Speaker 1: they were going to potentially save their season, right the 883 00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:33,640 Speaker 1: ship both of them go down in flames. Uh. And 884 00:42:33,719 --> 00:42:37,040 Speaker 1: these two flagship type teams, they're both their seasons are 885 00:42:37,080 --> 00:42:39,440 Speaker 1: basically over. And I mean, it's pretty amazing to me 886 00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:41,640 Speaker 1: that this is happening with these two teams. And the 887 00:42:41,680 --> 00:42:44,560 Speaker 1: Steelers go to London to play the Vikings, Oh and 888 00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:48,279 Speaker 1: three enjoy our winless teams. London fans, sorry about that. 889 00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:50,839 Speaker 1: This is what you get for the things that you 890 00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:54,880 Speaker 1: did to us like three years ago. I hope you're listening, 891 00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:59,000 Speaker 1: handsome hank Um. Okay, so that is that is our 892 00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:02,120 Speaker 1: our Sunday. Oh uh. There's one more game on the 893 00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:05,840 Speaker 1: slate on Monday, the Oakland Denver matchup. We'll talk about 894 00:43:05,840 --> 00:43:09,520 Speaker 1: that on Wednesday. Uh. And that's it for now. So 895 00:43:09,880 --> 00:43:13,880 Speaker 1: signing off for the Mailman, Sizzler, the Boss, and Carack 896 00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:16,000 Speaker 1: find the glass. We'll catch you, Linden
