Speaker 1: NFL Podcast Didn't Change the Bears. Welcome to another edition

17
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 1: of the Around the NFL Podcast. My name is Dan

18
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 1: Hansis and I have joined in a room filled with heroes,

19
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:10,759
Speaker 1: Mark Sessler, Chris Westling and Gregg Rosehal What is up? Boys? Oh?

20
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:14,320
Speaker 1: I hope we didn't I thought when Kenyan drank Drake

21
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 1: coughed it up at the goal line at O T

22
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 1: I thought that was a little, uh sprinkle of mojoe

23
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:22,399
Speaker 1: magic from the team of a t N but the

24
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 1: Bears and we'll get to a little little a little

25
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 1: bit later, a tough loss, A little presumptuous to assume

26
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 1: that we'd have the power to affect any team season

27
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 1: in that way. There are three and two. That's pretty

28
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 1: I think they're where we thought they'd beat to some degree.

29
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 1: Here's a here's a new quote. I'm trying to get

30
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 1: off the ground. You gotta believe that's fresh. That's uh

31
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 1: week six Sunday in the NFL and um West, Oh

32
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 1: my goodness, this league is wide open. Every division depends,

33
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 1: you know, what happens with Chiefs and Patriots later tonight,

34
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 1: except for I think the NFC South in the NFC

35
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 1: West are wide open. I think the saintship control of

36
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 1: the NFC South, even though they're only like what a

37
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 1: game and a half up on the Panthers, and the

38
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 1: Rams have the West. I just feel like there's never

39
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:20,640
Speaker 1: been an NFL where there's more week to week teams

40
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 1: where what you think about them seven days ago to

41
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 1: now changes so vastly for like eighteen of these teams.

42
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:33,359
Speaker 1: So that's what they want everybody. The machine, the machine

43
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 1: to keep churning, and we're in that machine. There's that

44
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,399
Speaker 1: We say that in general, there's this time of year,

45
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:46,119
Speaker 1: you're gonna have a lot of confusion. Teams are still

46
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 1: figuring themselves out. But exactly so, if we peddled this,

47
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,359
Speaker 1: we always do. Oh, teams are figuring themselves out till Thanksgiving.

48
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,640
Speaker 1: I mean, I wish we all have the opportunity to

49
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 1: take nine months in our job to figure out what

50
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 1: we're doing. I mean, then, yeah, you're gonna get this.

51
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:00,120
Speaker 1: We're in the middle of it here, Mark, and I

52
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 1: could sense it your voice. We are deep into the season,

53
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 1: but a far away off from the end. Yeah, I

54
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:08,079
Speaker 1: feel like we are months and months and months from

55
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 1: the season does not end essentially till you leave owners meetings.

56
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 1: So don't even talk to me about the sea we

57
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 1: have just we're in a backstroke into the deep end.

58
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 1: So we're in the world going on and we're a

59
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:24,360
Speaker 1: little bit lost right now. Listen you it's harder work

60
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 1: in the world. They're talking a little football, all right,

61
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 1: greg Ys, let's get into it, starting with a big

62
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:35,119
Speaker 1: showdown in the a f C North Donna quick pop

63
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 1: over the running free that ten five touchstops boon, you

64
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 1: thought a free here? All believable? A thirty one yard

65
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 1: touchdown pass from Ben do a b and it couldn't

66
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 1: come at a more critical time, not only in this

67
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 1: game in the season. Wow, Bill hill Grove, great call

68
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 1: for w d V. Call him Bill Grove, Bill Grove,

69
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 1: you gotta be here. That's my new slogan forget about

70
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 1: you gotta believe. Then Roethlisberger connected with Antonio Brown on

71
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 1: a thirty one yard touchdown with ten seconds left, and

72
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Steelers pulled off another one. They ripped out

73
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 1: the Bengals hearts again, beating Cincinnati twenty one. They added

74
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 1: a two point conversion and then got to stop uh

75
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 1: that they needed to close it out. The Brown score

76
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 1: came after Andy Dalton led the Bengals to a go

77
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:29,479
Speaker 1: ahead touchdown in the previous possession. All at all game

78
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 1: effort by since, but the story remains the same in

79
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: this rivalry. Chris Wesley, It's been interesting to see the

80
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 1: relationship between these two teams change over the years. Growing

81
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 1: up in Cincinnati. My experience with the Steelers was being

82
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,599
Speaker 1: introduced to the concept of a clock killing back because

83
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 1: they would just win, running away and run Frank O' Harris,

84
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:52,679
Speaker 1: Walter Abercrombie, Barry Foster, you know whoever was their latest,

85
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 1: Jerome Baddest, just kill the clock. And now it's like

86
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 1: every game comes down to the wire and it's just

87
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 1: gonna be how the Bengals are gonna blow it. Yeah,

88
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 1: and this game, Andy Dalton led to impressive two minute

89
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,720
Speaker 1: drill touchdown drives, one right before halftime, one at the

90
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 1: end of the game. And then their defense, you know,

91
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:13,280
Speaker 1: after Vontes Burfick took out you know, half of the

92
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:17,839
Speaker 1: Bengals secondary with his weird hits. Um Jesse Bates got sidelined.

93
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: I think dark Has Darnutt Dinard was sidelined for a while.

94
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:24,039
Speaker 1: The secondary wasn't the same in this final drive, but um,

95
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 1: after going most of the day without doing much, it

96
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:30,039
Speaker 1: was Schuster Smith, Schuster and Antonio Brown on that drive.

97
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 1: It's crazy. Big Bend targeted thirteen different players in this game,

98
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 1: and it's a reminder. Yeah, maybe maybe the production came

99
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 1: late from the two receivers, but they have three skill

100
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 1: pushness and guys crossed the hundred yards. When they're on,

101
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 1: they're still very potent offense. This was James Connor and

102
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 1: Vance McDonald for fifty nine minutes and then it was

103
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 1: Smith Schuster Antonio Brown. I was gonna say before Brown

104
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 1: took over the game and made the play to win it,

105
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 1: um if the Bengals would held on for this game.

106
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 1: You're always wondering when Antonio Brown is gonna pop off

107
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 1: to the media or have some type of issue, because

108
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 1: he is that type of personality, and it seems to

109
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 1: be heading that way because again Juju Smith Schuster was

110
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 1: targeted almost double the amount of times of Antonio Brown,

111
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,159
Speaker 1: and you wondered if they wanted to pull it out,

112
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:20,279
Speaker 1: what would have happened. But instead, the best possible situation

113
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,280
Speaker 1: with the Steelers if they steal the game, and they

114
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 1: do it going Big Ben to Antonio Brown, so you

115
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:26,840
Speaker 1: wipe away all that potential negativity. That's why I think

116
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 1: it's the biggest win of the day because if you

117
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 1: could have buried Pittsburgh three wins behind you six weeks

118
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 1: into the season, that's a different a f C North

119
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 1: than the one we see today. Instead, you look at

120
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 1: a situation where the Steelers get the road division win

121
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 1: Roethlisberger's thirteen and two in Cincinnati, which is one of

122
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 1: the most ridiculous stats that you could come up and

123
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 1: you watch the game closer than I did. Chris tell

124
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 1: me that the Steelers have to feel like on some

125
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:57,239
Speaker 1: level that they're back because even though yeah, you stole

126
00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:59,720
Speaker 1: it with that last drive, they had foight yards, the

127
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 1: bank Us had two hundred and seventy five. Overall, they

128
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 1: did a lot of things pretty well. This game should

129
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 1: never have been this close. It was red zone woes

130
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 1: for the Steelers. Joe Hayden dropped an easy interception in

131
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 1: the red zone. UM Already Burns, who gets lost in

132
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 1: coverage quite often, got lost in coverage on a touchdown

133
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 1: by Tyler Boyd. James Connor got stopped at about the

134
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 1: one inch line on a play that may have been

135
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 1: rolled a touchdown by a different crew. UM. So there

136
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 1: was a lot of red zone action and my um

137
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 1: oncologist is one of these die hard Steelers fans who

138
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 1: knows everything about the team told me Friday, this is

139
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 1: the season. This game is the season. This Bengals game

140
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 1: can can put the Steelers out of the race or

141
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 1: let them back in. And to your point, because Pittsburgh

142
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 1: now has the luxury of a bye week, still feel

143
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 1: it comes a little bit earlier than than you'd want.

144
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 1: But then you come out of it with a chance

145
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 1: to change the division with Levi on Bell and you

146
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 1: play the Browns and the Ravens. The Bengals meanwhile, come

147
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 1: with this loss, have to go face Kansas City next week.

148
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 1: But let's touch on the running back situation real quick

149
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 1: for Pittsburgh because Connor again and he has really been

150
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 1: a revelation for then he ran for a hundred and

151
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 1: eleven and two touchdowns in this game. Uh and Levyan Bell,

152
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 1: the Steelers continue to contend they actually haven't heard from

153
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 1: leve Bell, but leve Bell has told the media he's

154
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 1: gonna report during the bye week, so we're gonna see

155
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 1: how that's gonna play out. Very soon after the game,

156
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 1: Big Ben had a little bit of fun with what

157
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 1: is a legitimately uncertain situation in Pittsburgh. And and James

158
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 1: I thought was was he was a bowling ball today.

159
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 1: He was all over the place. But a great game.

160
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 1: But you know, I know it's his last game for US,

161
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 1: so um because Leans coming back, but I thought he

162
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 1: did well in his last one. Well done well A

163
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 1: word Smith and one las one last word from Juju Smith.

164
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:40,200
Speaker 1: Schuster in referenced Antonio Brown a big Ben, uh and

165
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 1: the last play that won the game. Moments like this,

166
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:46,560
Speaker 1: goats come alive. How about that? That is a slogan

167
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 1: we do not need. Yeah, I'm sorry, I'm sack of

168
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:51,440
Speaker 1: goats in general, goat in general, because now go has

169
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 1: come to me. And instead of the greatest of all time,

170
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 1: which is literally what it stands for, it just kind

171
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 1: of means like one of the best players. That's what

172
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:02,320
Speaker 1: people it's been as is the greatest Steelers quarterback of

173
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 1: all time. Uh, sorry, Scheck, and the greatest Steelers wide

174
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,719
Speaker 1: receiver of all time. You don't think Check thinks that

175
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:12,439
Speaker 1: Big Ben is the greatest. Check thinks that Rancho is

176
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:14,680
Speaker 1: like the greatest quarter But they would have to be

177
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 1: the best players at period. Okay, I think you, Greg,

178
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:21,199
Speaker 1: You're onto something. Let's move on. Here's one. So he's

179
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:23,079
Speaker 1: gonna run the ball. Tams runs up the gun, He's

180
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 1: gonna get it inside, shows the ball. It's a fubble

181
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 1: behind the ladder with the ball drop again and then

182
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 1: back to Sean Jackson. He losers the ball. That's the

183
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:35,200
Speaker 1: ball game, A little rousal downs all the Bucks close.

184
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 1: Jean Decker half w f U s with the call. Oh,

185
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 1: they came close to the the Bucks there, Deshan Jackson and

186
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:49,200
Speaker 1: the Bucks came very close to a miracle trick play

187
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 1: touchdown as time expired, but it wasn't meant to be.

188
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:55,080
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan threw for three fifty four and three touchdowns.

189
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:58,600
Speaker 1: The Falcon snap a three game losing streak h with

190
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:02,359
Speaker 1: a thirty nine win over the Bucks. Greg The Falcons

191
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,319
Speaker 1: needed a win to keep their season alive entering this game,

192
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 1: and one and four they got it, just barely. They did.

193
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:11,840
Speaker 1: And that last play to me was a microcosm of

194
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 1: the Bucks, which is that you know it was. It

195
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:17,440
Speaker 1: was a good idea and I and I think when

196
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 1: you have one, you gotta score a touchdown. You're on

197
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 1: the twenty yard line, last play of the game that

198
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,080
Speaker 1: no one's expecting that. And when you looked at and

199
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 1: you stopped the frame by frame and they were gonna

200
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 1: lateral it twice and DeShawn Jackson's wide open on the side.

201
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,719
Speaker 1: I think it could have worked, but you mess up

202
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:36,440
Speaker 1: in execution and the only reason that you were in

203
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 1: that spot is because Mike Evans. Because a lot of things,

204
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 1: but one is that Mike Evans didn't go out of

205
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,320
Speaker 1: bounds when he absolutely could have just walked out of

206
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 1: bounds thirty seconds before that. And it's these little attention

207
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 1: to details with the Bucks. They missed an extra point

208
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 1: which makes them chase it later, they missed the two.

209
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:57,839
Speaker 1: Jamis Winston plays a very good Jamis Winston game yards

210
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 1: four touchd on, but he has two interceptions, including a

211
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:03,200
Speaker 1: killer one in the red zone. And that's that's the

212
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 1: Bucks kind of writ large. You know, there there's a lot,

213
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 1: there's a lot good going on, but it's just sloppy.

214
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 1: It's what kind of interceptions were there for Winston. One

215
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 1: was a bad timing on a on a deep throat

216
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 1: to DeShawn Jackson. Their timing seemed to be off much

217
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 1: of the day. And the other was one where he

218
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 1: forced it. He predetermined it in the red zone and

219
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 1: that was totally on him, and he said the game

220
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 1: was on him because of that later. I think that's

221
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:30,320
Speaker 1: being a little harsh because ultimately they're playing he's playing

222
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 1: with maybe the worst defense of all time. I meant

223
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 1: well in in terms of yardage per game, passerrating, and

224
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 1: yards per tempting, getting about stuff right now, okay, right now. Statistically,

225
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:46,719
Speaker 1: they are on pace to blow the records out of

226
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:48,960
Speaker 1: the water for the worst past defense of all time,

227
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 1: you know, and they gave up thirty four points here,

228
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 1: which is right on their average. It's pretty bad. It's

229
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 1: in the midst He seems to be the common denominator

230
00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 1: with some of these. Later, Mike Smith to run out

231
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 1: of excuses because Dirk Cutter is the next guy to go.

232
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:06,080
Speaker 1: Usually there's an order and how this works out. Yeah,

233
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:08,439
Speaker 1: if the Bucks are the worst all time defense, then

234
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 1: the Falcons must be right behind them because they're everything

235
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 1: about the same amount of points per game. We're gonna

236
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 1: get this once a once a year, I think, with

237
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 1: these terrible past defenses. You heard the lock zeus is

238
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 1: warming up a little bit west, so keep winning and

239
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:23,680
Speaker 1: left to three and three. I heard everyone's three and

240
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:26,080
Speaker 1: three now, Yeah, we're we're warming up in the reddit

241
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:29,080
Speaker 1: board and the threadit boards crashed down to earth after

242
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:31,680
Speaker 1: a three and o start. But uh yeah, you you

243
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 1: kind of chuckled when I locked up the Falcons because

244
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:36,560
Speaker 1: they's a high wire act to lock up this team,

245
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 1: because they should have been able to close out this game,

246
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 1: but they just couldn't do it because the second the

247
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 1: offense comes down to earth a little bit, the defense

248
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:44,680
Speaker 1: will let the other team back in. And that's what

249
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 1: happened here. Matt Ryan, you know, deserves credit. Twelve touchdowns,

250
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:51,319
Speaker 1: no interceptions. They're doing their job. Steve Sarkisian, you'll want

251
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:53,320
Speaker 1: when you guys watched the first half of this. It

252
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 1: was shocking though, how just easy it was for the

253
00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:00,440
Speaker 1: Falcons for much of this game, and they took advantage

254
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 1: most of the news A bad boy and like they're

255
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 1: a good offense. I keep thinking, maybe they'll be able

256
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:06,960
Speaker 1: to figure things out. I don't think their seasons over.

257
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 1: When you have one of the best quarterbacks in the league,

258
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,079
Speaker 1: and I think Matt Ryan's playing, you know, near that level,

259
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 1: at least top five to seven. This reminds me of

260
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:16,679
Speaker 1: the Bengals. Want to sell eight more of these Falcons

261
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:19,840
Speaker 1: results where it's twenty nine points thirty four, you know, please,

262
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 1: let's move on Elliott to Prescott's what can you gotta read?

263
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:27,079
Speaker 1: O C? And he's gotta slain the block block for

264
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 1: f what's Brad sham the sham god k r l

265
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 1: D with the call Dak Prescott played the game of

266
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:43,680
Speaker 1: the season for him anyway, uh in jeral world, the

267
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 1: third year QB, through two touchdowns, ran for eighty two

268
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:49,439
Speaker 1: yards and a score as well. Cowboys cruise so he's

269
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 1: shockingly easy thirty seven two seven, forty seven, yes, forty

270
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 1: to seven win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, who put some

271
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 1: ugly football on tape in this one. Mark Prescott has

272
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:03,560
Speaker 1: not been immune for criticism this season. Today played like

273
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 1: a franchise. QB. Can't say the same about his counterparts,

274
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 1: not at all. Although I wouldn't put this on Blake Bortles,

275
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 1: I would put it on a defense that, you know,

276
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:14,839
Speaker 1: two weeks running is giving up thirty five points per

277
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 1: game and absolutely allowed this one to get totally out

278
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 1: of hand. Out of the gate. The Cowboys offense, which

279
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 1: we've complained about rightfully, so tough to watch, often dull,

280
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 1: just simply boring. Today, first four drives they dial up

281
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 1: a nine play field goal drive to start the game,

282
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 1: a seven play touchdown, a nine play touchdown, in a

283
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 1: sixteen play touchdown to close the half. Jacksonville went into

284
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 1: halftime with like fifty something yards totally abysmal on that

285
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 1: side of the ball in a defense that could do

286
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 1: nothing to stop an offense we didn't believe in seven

287
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 1: days ago, and the Dallas essentially they didn't hang on

288
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:50,360
Speaker 1: in the second half because they had a very They

289
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 1: had a very They were quieted down and they were

290
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:54,760
Speaker 1: very impressive fourth quarter where I thought this was the

291
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 1: most embarrassing loss we've seen for the Jaguars under Doug Maroon,

292
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 1: they have a strict formula. We've talked about this for

293
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 1: two years running now that they have to jump out

294
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 1: to an early lead. The Jaguars must get an early lead,

295
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 1: and the Cowboys have the same formula, so it's interesting

296
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 1: that they were the team that jumped out. I'm gonna

297
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:12,320
Speaker 1: keep a list of these teams because the Redskins are

298
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 1: one of them too. The Jaguars, though, need to get

299
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 1: real with where they're at because they're they're a team

300
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 1: and the fans and everything. I think they they see

301
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 1: themselves as one of the top teams in the league

302
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 1: and to respond like they did from a big loss,

303
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 1: I think a humbling loss last week in Kansas City,

304
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 1: and what they really built up as a big game

305
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 1: to get wax like this in Dallas, like good teams don't.

306
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 1: They're not the only a team South team that should

307
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 1: be looking at things. That's fair, Yeah, that's fair. But

308
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 1: the Jaguars were the team that thought they're a super

309
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 1: Bowl team this year going into the year, and their

310
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 1: defense just hasn't been as dominant. There was a moment

311
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 1: when they had like two pealthy whiteouts on the field,

312
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 1: maybe three, and they are They are hamstrung a little

313
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 1: bit at that position with some injuries, but they just

314
00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 1: when we saw them get hot last year and creative

315
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 1: and push the ball down the field to do things

316
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 1: you wouldn't expect like today was everything you could imagine

317
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 1: about why the Jacksonville Jaguars are not to be taken

318
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 1: ultra seriously. Cowboys deserve to be taken seriously. They you

319
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 1: want to see this offense do something similar more than

320
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 1: once or twice. But the defense has been good for

321
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 1: six weeks, so they only allowed ten first down to

322
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 1: this game. They have a pretty good pass rush that's consistent.

323
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 1: They are a better defense than they've been. One thing

324
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 1: you would like is that after Garrett got lashed, you know,

325
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 1: in the correct in a correct way for not for

326
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 1: being so conservative and playing for fuelness. He went for

327
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 1: it like two or three times on fourth and short

328
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 1: in Jacksonville territory. They had a better They did a

329
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 1: better job of design runs for Dak Prescott, and in

330
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 1: general the offense looked a little bit more creative than

331
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 1: it has before. We'll see if it sticks. How are

332
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 1: we doing with the not so accountable hot takes that

333
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 1: the Jaguars are one of the few teams in history

334
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 1: that is better without its best running back. I don't

335
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 1: see them as being better today with anything. I mean,

336
00:16:54,000 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 1: they know they're better. So yeah. And the two weeks

337
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 1: they've averaged allowed an average of four yards per game.

338
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:07,399
Speaker 1: And once again, and we've been talking about this forever

339
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 1: on this podcast, this team is not designed to play

340
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:12,439
Speaker 1: from behind, and you can see how these games go

341
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:15,640
Speaker 1: downhill in a hurry for Jacksonville. But I do still

342
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 1: take them seriously in this conference, just because it's a

343
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 1: wide open conference. And also, like we've said, Blake Bortles,

344
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,199
Speaker 1: he could be great next week. It just says you

345
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 1: never know what you're gonna get from this team the

346
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:27,800
Speaker 1: defense side of the ball. This just feels to me

347
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 1: like more of a slump than something you get totally. Uh.

348
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 1: I still think you can't build around defense. In teen

349
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 1: they just aren't dominant defense. And maybe they'll turn it around,

350
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 1: but they were. They were one of the worst teams

351
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 1: in forcing turners going into this game. They didn't force

352
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:42,119
Speaker 1: any in this game, so they had you know, the

353
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 1: pass rush hasn't been the same nearly this year. It's

354
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 1: it's surprising. With no turnovers and three of the last

355
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 1: four games on defense, they might be frustrated with the offense.

356
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:52,879
Speaker 1: To a quote from Ezekiel Elliott after the game, this

357
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 1: is the most dominating performance since I've been here. There

358
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:58,920
Speaker 1: is one really quick that There is this one play

359
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:01,400
Speaker 1: in this game. If you watch where Zeke Elliott takes

360
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 1: the ball because maybe five or six yards, but right

361
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 1: into Jail and Ramsey and just walked, kept walking and

362
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,400
Speaker 1: pushing his helmet right into Ramsey's and it was that

363
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:12,199
Speaker 1: was sort of a backbreaking drive and moment in that

364
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:14,439
Speaker 1: game where the Jaguars never climbed back into that. I

365
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 1: feel like people forget how incredible Zeke is. There's I

366
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 1: saw some pole put up the other night when s

367
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 1: Quan was going crazy, and it was like best running

368
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:23,960
Speaker 1: back in the NFL, and there were a list of

369
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,879
Speaker 1: four names and then other and Ezekiel Elliott isn't one

370
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 1: of the names. I'm thinking, like, put some respect on

371
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 1: hair in the beard. It's a it's a bad combination

372
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 1: and I think it holds him back a little bit.

373
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 1: Let's move on revers stakes, the hand off steps to

374
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:42,960
Speaker 1: his laugh wants the end zone, puts it up in

375
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:46,199
Speaker 1: the air for grabs, and that ball is up for

376
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:49,200
Speaker 1: grabs in the end zone. Don't know if it was intercepted. Touchsdown.

377
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 1: Hello Tyrone Williams and that Money Smith and that was

378
00:18:56,400 --> 00:19:01,119
Speaker 1: DJ Daniel Jeremiah with the call. There some guy kf I.

379
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 1: Philip rivers through two touchdown passes the Tyrelle Williams, including

380
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:09,200
Speaker 1: that wildcatch and triple coverage. Melvin Gordon had three touchdown runs.

381
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 1: The Chargers bullied Baker Mayfield and the Browns four team

382
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 1: in Cleveland. Nick Shook joins us now resident Browns fan

383
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:22,359
Speaker 1: Um Shookie. On Thursday, I was talking about the Chargers

384
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 1: time to beat up on a legit opponent. The Browns

385
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 1: seemed to fit that description entering week six and the

386
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:30,200
Speaker 1: ultimate it look easy. That's because they don't fit that description.

387
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 1: He's already out. I'm not out. This is a team

388
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:37,240
Speaker 1: that is probably gonna win six or seven games, and

389
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:39,800
Speaker 1: it's gonna for every good game they have, every maybe

390
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:41,720
Speaker 1: one or two wins in a row they streamed together,

391
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 1: they'll also have a setback and it's just gonna be

392
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:46,360
Speaker 1: a little it's a slow incline with some hitches. They've

393
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 1: only had one bad game out of the first game

394
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:51,119
Speaker 1: that was out on defense. Yes, I'm saying, but as

395
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:53,400
Speaker 1: a team, this is the only performance you could look

396
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:55,119
Speaker 1: at and say it was a disappointment. I think this

397
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 1: is the only team that you could look at that's

398
00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 1: been on their schedule so far that could be considered

399
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 1: a team that maybe eight to ten weeks from now,

400
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:04,360
Speaker 1: we're gonna be looking at his potential favorite in the postseason.

401
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 1: I think the Chargers are vastly underrated, and this is

402
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:09,359
Speaker 1: one of the first games they've put together a total

403
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:11,719
Speaker 1: game in the season so far, and I think an

404
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:13,680
Speaker 1: indicator of what's to come for them. I think he'll

405
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:15,919
Speaker 1: be fine physically, but there was a moment in this

406
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 1: game when Baker Mayfield came out of bounds and crashed

407
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:23,359
Speaker 1: into the chain thing on the ground and he it

408
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 1: was his ankle. It looked like he he never really

409
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:29,440
Speaker 1: was the same after this. Also on the Cleveland side,

410
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:31,359
Speaker 1: I mean, just like we talked about with Jacksonville, they

411
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:33,640
Speaker 1: had I think you said it was two active whiteouts

412
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 1: at one point. Yeah, because just you know, Damien Ratley

413
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:38,480
Speaker 1: got hurt after going up for a catch in the

414
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:40,720
Speaker 1: fourth quarter. Yeah, they still a good sign when Damien

415
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 1: Ratley injury is killing you and the AI's year leading

416
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:47,440
Speaker 1: receiver a Rod streeteror injury was killing them. The mayfield

417
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 1: play was unfortunate because they had dropped the sideline. Dudes

418
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 1: had dropped the marker on the ground as he was

419
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 1: running out of bounds, and he just stepped on it

420
00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:58,639
Speaker 1: and you could see immediately his ankle give way a

421
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:00,639
Speaker 1: little bit and he he had a bad limp. The

422
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:03,240
Speaker 1: very next play he qb sneaked it for a first down.

423
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:04,920
Speaker 1: So he thought he was gonna be okay, but apparently

424
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 1: it's something that that bothered him. But he he got

425
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 1: beat up in this game. He got sacked five times,

426
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 1: He threw two interceptions, and and the Chargers, you guys

427
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:16,240
Speaker 1: love the Chargers. This is a game that that starts

428
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 1: to make me feel differently about them, because Phil Rivers

429
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 1: is playing as good as ever right now, and Joey

430
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:23,680
Speaker 1: Bosa is right around the bend now, and the defense

431
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:26,880
Speaker 1: looks better now look out, the Bolts are maybe for real.

432
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 1: What's really interesting about this Chargers team is they managed

433
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:32,679
Speaker 1: to find success pressuring Mayfield, whether he was hurt or not.

434
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:34,879
Speaker 1: They squeeze the pocket on him a lot with just

435
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 1: four guys, and it allowed all of those defenders in

436
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 1: the you know, in the in the secondary and in

437
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 1: the linebacking corps to drop back and play coverage. And

438
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:42,520
Speaker 1: if they can get that kind of consistent success, you

439
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:44,720
Speaker 1: better watch out for l's losses come to the Chiefs

440
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:47,880
Speaker 1: and Rams. Right. Yeah, there's no doubt in my mind

441
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 1: their offense is legit. I think the question is how

442
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 1: good is their defense and are the Browns with a

443
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:56,680
Speaker 1: decimated wide receiver corps a legitimate test I don't think

444
00:21:56,720 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 1: this was an entirely accurate test um because of I

445
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:02,879
Speaker 1: think that the tweak injury to Mayfield it visibly effect

446
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:04,479
Speaker 1: you were you were saying coming into the game, this

447
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:08,440
Speaker 1: is a tough place to go play, a tough place. Yeah,

448
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:11,359
Speaker 1: that in terms of their defense, which is healthy, and

449
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:13,360
Speaker 1: they put it on their defense. They've been physical, They're

450
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 1: running backs are playing well. They're averaging over two yards

451
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 1: and two touchdowns a game. It's on my radar. They've

452
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 1: got this hash you know how every team has their

453
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:26,119
Speaker 1: own hashtag and there you know, most are just kind

454
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 1: of very simple. And the Chargers used to be like

455
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 1: fight for l A. But this year it's hashtag fight

456
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:36,080
Speaker 1: for each other, which is which is a mouthful, but

457
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:38,719
Speaker 1: you heard some but I think the point is like

458
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 1: l A doesn't care, like we don't like we're a

459
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 1: road team, even in our home and you listen to

460
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 1: some of the players. Philip Rivers after the game said

461
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:47,680
Speaker 1: there would be nothing worse than losing to Cleveland and

462
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 1: then spending four more days in Cleveland, because that's what

463
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 1: they're doing this week before they fly over to London.

464
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,240
Speaker 1: They're getting banged, you know, in terms of their travel.

465
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 1: And I think maybe there's a feeling, especially if they

466
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:58,600
Speaker 1: can go and beat the Titans, it's like, hey, it's us,

467
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:01,480
Speaker 1: it's us against every one, and we got a little

468
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:04,480
Speaker 1: something cooking, all right, fight for each other. And and

469
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:09,240
Speaker 1: one last note, uh shout out to Spicy because all

470
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 1: those years ago. He was right about Melvin Gordon, who

471
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:14,840
Speaker 1: has taking his game up another level this year. Three

472
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:17,680
Speaker 1: touchdowns add thirty two on the ground. Still remember the

473
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:20,640
Speaker 1: quote Melvin Gordon would rush for two thousand yards as

474
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 1: a rookie if the Cowboys draft him. Doesn't seem so

475
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:26,879
Speaker 1: ridiculous anymore, just a little bit ridiculous. Let's move on.

476
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 1: Peterman takes the snap, He's looking left. He throws that way.

477
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:34,400
Speaker 1: It's picked off by up Across up ted five rock

478
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:40,440
Speaker 1: and roll, But Texas going front picks Yes, love and

479
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:45,160
Speaker 1: old white guys summon rock and roll spirit, indomitable spirit

480
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:49,840
Speaker 1: of rock and roll. Mark vander Meer with the call

481
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:53,480
Speaker 1: for k I l T. Jonathan Joseph's twenty eight yard

482
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:57,639
Speaker 1: pick six with one to play was the difference lifting

483
00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 1: the Houston Texas to win over the Buffalo Bills. Nate Peterman,

484
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 1: who replaced an injured Josh Allen, through that interception and

485
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:08,480
Speaker 1: then through another one in the final seconds to doom

486
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:11,960
Speaker 1: Buffalo shook. It was not pretty, but the Texans have

487
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:14,119
Speaker 1: gone from oh and three to first place in the

488
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:16,960
Speaker 1: ANFC South in a hurry. The wild thing was I

489
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:18,920
Speaker 1: spent a lot of the fourth quarters, sitting here going,

490
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:22,400
Speaker 1: oh man, the Texans cannot lose this game. They absolutely

491
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:24,919
Speaker 1: cannot afford to lose this game in this fashion to

492
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:27,399
Speaker 1: Nate Peterman and Za Jones and not be able to

493
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:29,919
Speaker 1: move the football because for much of the afternoon they

494
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:32,439
Speaker 1: couldn't protect a Shawn Watson to save their lives. And

495
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:34,199
Speaker 1: then they got a little bit of a gift in

496
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:36,040
Speaker 1: the form of Nate Peterman late in the fourth quarter

497
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 1: with that pick six, because right before then they had

498
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:39,640
Speaker 1: the ball in the one yard line and couldn't put

499
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 1: couldn't punch it in and had to settle for a

500
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:42,959
Speaker 1: field goal, and we were looking at overtime. So they

501
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 1: kind of squeaked away with this one. But they're back

502
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:47,680
Speaker 1: to three and three. This team represents the league more

503
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 1: than any other they could be and six. They're in

504
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 1: first place and they haven't played a good game yet.

505
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:56,560
Speaker 1: Ye Shaun Watson was hit I think twelve times in

506
00:24:56,600 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 1: this game, sixty six for the season. He had two interceptions,

507
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 1: three fumbles, and was sacked seven times. And you find

508
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:06,640
Speaker 1: a way to win that game. You're just hoping that

509
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:09,280
Speaker 1: you can improve as you go, because they're getting some

510
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:13,119
Speaker 1: ws as as West said, without really playing that well,

511
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:15,159
Speaker 1: how does the line improve them? Because this has been

512
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 1: a week to week ill for them, and I wonder

513
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 1: Watson was banged up last week. I'm assuming it came

514
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:22,640
Speaker 1: out of this without any physical issues. But how long

515
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 1: do you how do you ask someone to last for

516
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 1: another two plus months? You ask your front office to

517
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:29,080
Speaker 1: address the line, which they haven't done, in which they

518
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:31,200
Speaker 1: did a shoddy job up in the off season. They

519
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:34,400
Speaker 1: did address it, but there's just what's available. You can

520
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:37,439
Speaker 1: You can overpay for Nate's solder and even then you

521
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:39,679
Speaker 1: lose out on him to the Giants. You decided not

522
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:41,960
Speaker 1: to play that, you decided not to pay Dayne Brown,

523
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 1: you traded him instead. That yes, that's fair. That that's

524
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 1: the one bang I got on them about this whole thing,

525
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:49,679
Speaker 1: But I understand that he was not content there, so

526
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:51,159
Speaker 1: you gotta you have to move that guy. But it's

527
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 1: hurting them now, and it's Yeah, this is a young

528
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:54,880
Speaker 1: quarterback that a lot of people were excited about going

529
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:56,639
Speaker 1: into the season, and and so far he has not

530
00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:58,720
Speaker 1: been able to really spread his wing. He's not on

531
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:01,240
Speaker 1: the field much longer. He can't take this beating. He

532
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:03,640
Speaker 1: barely survived last week's game. I didn't get a chance

533
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 1: to see this game yet, but like you just have

534
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:08,160
Speaker 1: to wonder how many more hits he's gonna take. Bills

535
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:11,800
Speaker 1: are legit defense. They deserve credit from after the first

536
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:13,600
Speaker 1: few weeks, they've gotten it together. They gave up two

537
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:17,320
Speaker 1: sixteen yards today. They're tough. You know. It's sad that

538
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 1: offensively they can't put it together more. Although Josh Allen

539
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:22,600
Speaker 1: slowly but surely is starting to look like a semi

540
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:27,520
Speaker 1: company quarterback. First of all, what happened to him? He

541
00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:29,840
Speaker 1: got hurt, hit in the elbow. It was a bad

542
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:33,000
Speaker 1: it was throwing elbow. What are they saying about? It

543
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 1: was after a throw and it knocked him out for

544
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:36,680
Speaker 1: the rest of the game. So I'd imagine it looked

545
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:38,199
Speaker 1: like it might have been like a nerve issue to

546
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 1: where he kept doing this, like he couldn't feel his

547
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:43,120
Speaker 1: right and the surprising points in twelve quarters. So let's come.

548
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:45,600
Speaker 1: It surprises me that you say that, because I was

549
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:48,720
Speaker 1: seeing tweets before the injury that he looked miserable again

550
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:50,199
Speaker 1: and lost it. Well, it depends on what you look

551
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 1: at it as, because you look at it is if

552
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:53,920
Speaker 1: he's uncomfortable in the pocket and that he's pulling down

553
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:56,440
Speaker 1: the ball to run immediately, then yeah, that makes sense.

554
00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:58,399
Speaker 1: But if you're saying that, well, he needs to get

555
00:26:58,480 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 1: rid of the ball and make it more decisions quicker

556
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:01,720
Speaker 1: than you have a grape there as well. That's why

557
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 1: I say very small. It's a crawl. This was the

558
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:05,640
Speaker 1: guy they said was not going to play as a rookie,

559
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:08,119
Speaker 1: and they just have a terrible situation in general, and

560
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:10,520
Speaker 1: maybe he does need more time. I think each game,

561
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 1: like last game last week, you saw things, especially on

562
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:15,960
Speaker 1: the ground where you can see maybe why is a

563
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 1: starting quarterback. But there's a lot of incomplete stuff here. Yeah,

564
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:19,959
Speaker 1: I mean, without a doubt, he's still got a long

565
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:22,120
Speaker 1: way to go. But it's just a little more exciting

566
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 1: than you know playing you know AJ mccarrien like they

567
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 1: were looking at going into the season. Very true, Nick Shook,

568
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 1: you came in here and you did it again. Then

569
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 1: you're wearing a throwback nineteen nineties Calvs pull over, loyal

570
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:35,399
Speaker 1: to the cause, even with j R. Smith at the

571
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:37,400
Speaker 1: front of the franchise. It's nice that whenever I sit

572
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:39,960
Speaker 1: about a foot away from us, am right now, I

573
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 1: realized it's time to reorganize everything I'm doing with my

574
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:46,879
Speaker 1: physical body all right over under calves wins. I'm setting

575
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:49,119
Speaker 1: it thirty six and a half. Thank you. That's respectful,

576
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:51,400
Speaker 1: because downstairs I had a colleague tell me they wouldn't where,

577
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:53,200
Speaker 1: they wouldn't win thirty games. What do you so? You're

578
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:57,280
Speaker 1: taking the your banging over over to the eighth seed

579
00:27:57,320 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 1: and beyond, let's flirt with five hundred. This is Kevin

580
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 1: Love's team. Now, oh boy, here we go moving ons.

581
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:11,720
Speaker 1: J Sanders seven yards. It kicked up. The kick is show. Yeah,

582
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:17,679
Speaker 1: oh no, the Tayson Sanders is won today for the

583
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins. No flags, it's over. We're off the roller coaster.

584
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:28,479
Speaker 1: I can't take anymore. A nice job by the w

585
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:32,680
Speaker 1: q A M team. Jason Sanders kicked a forty seven

586
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 1: yard field goal in the final playoff overtime, that coming

587
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:38,959
Speaker 1: after Cody Parkey of the Bear has missed a fifty

588
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:43,800
Speaker 1: three yard attempt for Chicago. The Build the Bear Top Bears,

589
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:47,520
Speaker 1: blowing eleven point lead uh in the second half, loose

590
00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 1: to the Dolpins thirty eight to twenty eight. A huge

591
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:54,560
Speaker 1: win for Miami at home down their starting quarterback brock Oswiler,

592
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 1: filled in for Ryan Tanna, who was out with a

593
00:28:57,160 --> 00:29:01,000
Speaker 1: shoulder injury, and he threw for It's a three touchdowns

594
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:04,120
Speaker 1: Gregg wild game in my hand, Miami. But let's start here.

595
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:08,080
Speaker 1: Give Brock some love. He got the job done. He said.

596
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:10,600
Speaker 1: He was emotional on the way to the game. He

597
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:13,480
Speaker 1: found out by a text that Ryan Tannehill, who practiced

598
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:16,160
Speaker 1: fully Wednesday and Thursday with the shoulder injury and now

599
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:18,280
Speaker 1: isn't playing and you have to wonder is he's gonna

600
00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:21,600
Speaker 1: be out for a little while. Brock was emotional thinking, look,

601
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:24,040
Speaker 1: I got this opportunity. Who knows how many I'm gonna

602
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 1: have left? Uh? And he responded, running Adam Gaze's offense

603
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:30,920
Speaker 1: pretty similarly to how Ryan Tannehill runs it, where I

604
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 1: don't think the quarterback is really front and center, and

605
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:35,480
Speaker 1: that that wasn't the case today either. It was more

606
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 1: about the running backs, and it was more about Hakeem

607
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:42,480
Speaker 1: Grant and then especially Albert Wilson making big plays off

608
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:46,440
Speaker 1: of short throws. And uh, I give Adam Gaze a

609
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:49,800
Speaker 1: lot of credit for giving the ball to Kenyan Drake

610
00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 1: on the game winning drive right after Kenyan Drake fumbled

611
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:56,800
Speaker 1: on the goal line. I think that was really Adam

612
00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:59,440
Speaker 1: Gaze thinking long term about a guy who's important to

613
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:01,840
Speaker 1: him and is a really good player, is not a fumbler,

614
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:04,880
Speaker 1: and saying, I'm gonna give this kid his confidence back.

615
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 1: I'm gonna trust him in this situation. He picked up

616
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:09,800
Speaker 1: twenty two of the twenty yards they needed to set

617
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:11,880
Speaker 1: up that field goal, that he got the ball in

618
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:14,479
Speaker 1: three of the four snaps on that drive, and they

619
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 1: go and win the game. And Drake, who was crying

620
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:20,920
Speaker 1: openly on the sidelines for a while, uh is feeling

621
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:23,160
Speaker 1: a lot better about himself. Other things we can give

622
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:28,360
Speaker 1: Adam Oh no, not today, Brock. I can believe it today, buddy.

623
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:30,720
Speaker 1: Other things we can give it Adam Gays credit for

624
00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:36,120
Speaker 1: signing Albert Wilson, Yeah, signing Frank Gore, Yes, absolutely, big

625
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:38,719
Speaker 1: game for Frank, and getting the ball to Jachim Grant

626
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 1: every single week, not making him an afterthought like he

627
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:44,280
Speaker 1: was last year. They're putting the ball in his hands

628
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:46,840
Speaker 1: weekly and he's making big plays. I know, Greg, you

629
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:49,560
Speaker 1: were steaming at the end of this the way the

630
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:52,480
Speaker 1: Chicago in overtime in your mind, and I think you're right.

631
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:56,000
Speaker 1: Did not push for this win. They pushed for an

632
00:30:56,000 --> 00:31:00,120
Speaker 1: excessively long field goal. Mitchell Drabinsky wasn't trusted by at

633
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:03,960
Speaker 1: him Gaze, I mean by Matt Nagy. He went against

634
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 1: this total instincts, which is this year has been aggressive, aggressive,

635
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:10,240
Speaker 1: you know, trust your guys. They get the ball in

636
00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:12,360
Speaker 1: position to win the game in overtime, and then they

637
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:14,280
Speaker 1: run three straight runs. And they had been running the

638
00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 1: ball pretty well, but one of them was on third

639
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 1: and four, a zone run into a stack box, and

640
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 1: that was that was telling me they did not trust Robinsky,

641
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:25,400
Speaker 1: who did not earn any trust despite his statistics, the

642
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 1: most misleading stats I've seen anyone. He did not play

643
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:30,960
Speaker 1: a good game today. But still I sit next to

644
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:33,360
Speaker 1: he's your quarterback. He got a trust. I sitting next

645
00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:35,520
Speaker 1: to a Bears fan down in the newsroom Ali who

646
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:38,160
Speaker 1: had the same feeling though, And I guess maybe with

647
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:41,440
Speaker 1: some Bear Bears fans or a lot of Bears fans, uh,

648
00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 1: they feel the same way that Troubinsky there. Despite the

649
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:47,000
Speaker 1: growth that he's had in the last couple of weeks

650
00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:50,000
Speaker 1: or at least last their last game. Um, they're not

651
00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:51,840
Speaker 1: ready to put the game in his hands yet. But

652
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:54,480
Speaker 1: you can still call up a safe passing play. This

653
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:57,160
Speaker 1: is a very smart play caller. And Mattneggie I think

654
00:31:57,160 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 1: they really just kind of gagged a little bit. Matt

655
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:01,360
Speaker 1: Neggie may not ust to Mitchell Robisky, but you want

656
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:06,880
Speaker 1: to know who I trust, oh, er I woke up

657
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:10,480
Speaker 1: this morning and saw these reports that suddenly brock Osweiler

658
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 1: was quarterbacking the team that Erica had locked up, and

659
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:18,120
Speaker 1: a team that she picked because essentially Danny am Mondola

660
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 1: is seen as an attractive human to her. That's why

661
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 1: that said not anymore after today. Well, when I came

662
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 1: into the office and you suggested Gregor that it would

663
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:30,040
Speaker 1: have been fair to switch the lock and all this stuff,

664
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:32,160
Speaker 1: I knew I would. I didn't think about it. I

665
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:34,240
Speaker 1: would have take endless grief for that number one. And

666
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:36,080
Speaker 1: that's a bad idea. So you sit and deal with

667
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:40,000
Speaker 1: the results. But Erica knew all along. She did an

668
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:42,480
Speaker 1: excellent job, and I'm going to continue to seek her

669
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:45,880
Speaker 1: counsel on picking teams with attractive players at some position

670
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:48,000
Speaker 1: or another. And that would have been declined because it

671
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:50,959
Speaker 1: was made clear on Thursday that Erica was in charge.

672
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:54,440
Speaker 1: It was I didn't nobody pursued it. Don't worry about it,

673
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:57,720
Speaker 1: so nobody pursued it. That's good because it would have

674
00:32:57,760 --> 00:32:59,400
Speaker 1: been declined. But you know what, at the end of

675
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:02,080
Speaker 1: the day, at the end of the day, you got

676
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:04,640
Speaker 1: exactly what you needed, which is another lock in Erica.

677
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:07,280
Speaker 1: Nice job, thank you, thank you. Yeah. I felt like

678
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:09,600
Speaker 1: I had some insider information because you know, me and

679
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:11,680
Speaker 1: Danny are so close, like, and he felt really good

680
00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:14,960
Speaker 1: about this game, so he knew he maybe knew Brack

681
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:16,840
Speaker 1: was gonna play, and that that would be leaned on

682
00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:18,920
Speaker 1: your knowledge. Well, this is gonna take a lot of

683
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 1: leg work for you, Greg, and it's gonna take some

684
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:23,160
Speaker 1: extra time. But I would like to see as part

685
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:27,040
Speaker 1: of your QB Index on a weekly basis, which teams

686
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:29,520
Speaker 1: play for the field goal instead of the touchdown with

687
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:32,880
Speaker 1: the game on the line, and that reflects on the quarterback.

688
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:35,880
Speaker 1: It's a plague. Get to work on that research. It's

689
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:38,120
Speaker 1: something that is part of our Sunday pet. You put

690
00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:39,640
Speaker 1: it a lot. Do you put it in your column?

691
00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:42,080
Speaker 1: I don't have a quarterback. It's like hundreds of hours

692
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:47,160
Speaker 1: of research before top ten coaches that set up field

693
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:49,320
Speaker 1: goals instead of going forth. This is also your week.

694
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:51,640
Speaker 1: This is part of the weekly game watching experience with

695
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:54,560
Speaker 1: Greg Rosenthal calling out coaches every week for playing for that.

696
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:56,760
Speaker 1: I think it's one of the only things fans almost

697
00:33:56,760 --> 00:33:58,480
Speaker 1: have a right to think that they have a better

698
00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:01,680
Speaker 1: idea than the coaches about It's like because it's it's

699
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:04,080
Speaker 1: just obvious that setting up for long field goals is

700
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 1: a losing game. And we'll get to a little bit later,

701
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:08,000
Speaker 1: but this is all the same. Also the same Greg

702
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:11,359
Speaker 1: that earlier today was pounded his chest about it being

703
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:13,759
Speaker 1: okay to settle for a fifty seven yard field goal

704
00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:15,960
Speaker 1: with the game on the line. But you know, we

705
00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:17,920
Speaker 1: didn't even talk about that. We we we should have.

706
00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:20,759
Speaker 1: That was bizarre, But they were up. That was a

707
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:22,960
Speaker 1: totally different That was a totally different were up to.

708
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:26,719
Speaker 1: But I still care we're going for I cannot believe that,

709
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:28,920
Speaker 1: and that was a big play in that game. But

710
00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:31,960
Speaker 1: I digress. How about how about Frank Gore, by the way,

711
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:35,200
Speaker 1: mocked in this very room this offseason as some over

712
00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:38,000
Speaker 1: the hill guy who shouldn't have a job goes over

713
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:43,200
Speaker 1: a hundred yards, looked awesome playing Grey in Miami. I

714
00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:46,359
Speaker 1: love it, and you and you can't even blame them

715
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:47,919
Speaker 1: for taking him out on the goal line. He said

716
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:50,120
Speaker 1: he was gassed actually, and it was basically his call

717
00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:53,960
Speaker 1: to have his his brother Kenyan Drake in there. That's

718
00:34:53,960 --> 00:35:01,120
Speaker 1: what I'm eating. Crow over Frank Gore. Let's move on,

719
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:04,040
Speaker 1: Let's sideline hot up and clicking to catch at the ten,

720
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:09,000
Speaker 1: Chris Herndon walks into the end. So touch down, perfectly

721
00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:14,400
Speaker 1: designed play by Jeremy Bates, Big play Bob with Susan

722
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:17,480
Speaker 1: with the call for the Jets radio network, Sam Donald

723
00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:20,319
Speaker 1: through for two eight and two touchdowns, including that hook

724
00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:23,520
Speaker 1: up with Chris Herndon in the third quarter. Jason Meyers

725
00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:26,719
Speaker 1: said a franchise record with seven field goals, and the

726
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:29,800
Speaker 1: Jets hung on to beat the Colts forty two to

727
00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:32,480
Speaker 1: thirty four at the Meadow Ends and a rematch of

728
00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:36,000
Speaker 1: Super Bowl three participants with Broadway Joe and many of

729
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:38,360
Speaker 1: the sixty eight Jets in the building for a halftime

730
00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:41,840
Speaker 1: fifty anniversary celebration. They've had many of those over the years,

731
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:45,239
Speaker 1: and many many celebrations of that team. New York. New

732
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:49,560
Speaker 1: York punted just once against Indie Saggy d West. Andrew

733
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:51,879
Speaker 1: Luck was up for the challenge on Sunday. The rest

734
00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:56,319
Speaker 1: of his team was not. I was telling Greg during

735
00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:59,400
Speaker 1: our Sky Sports. This is like the old super Techno

736
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:02,080
Speaker 1: Super Bowl when you're about fifteen and oh, trying to

737
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:05,480
Speaker 1: go undefeated and they make you fumble every punt return fumble,

738
00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:08,239
Speaker 1: this fumble that your best players are getting injured every

739
00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:11,320
Speaker 1: every This is Andrew Luck every week, Bill Simmons, because

740
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:13,120
Speaker 1: the similar thing would happen in Madda and Bill Bill

741
00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:16,680
Speaker 1: Simmons called the No fin Way game. Yeah, they luck.

742
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:19,680
Speaker 1: On the opening drive, Marlon Mack has a screen pace

743
00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:23,960
Speaker 1: screen pass, a basic screen pass off, Marlon Max hands off,

744
00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:27,360
Speaker 1: Jamal Adams hands into Mo Claiborne's hands for a touchdown.

745
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:30,479
Speaker 1: It was just that kind of afternoon, you know. Luck

746
00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:33,360
Speaker 1: comes right back, leads him on a quick touchdown drive

747
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:36,880
Speaker 1: in which his ball placement is once again impeccable, comes back,

748
00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:40,080
Speaker 1: leads him again down there, and Niheim Hines drops a

749
00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:42,799
Speaker 1: ball right in his bread basket on the goal line

750
00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:45,040
Speaker 1: and they have to settle for a field goal. This

751
00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:47,560
Speaker 1: is just like behind the eight ball all game. And

752
00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:50,279
Speaker 1: credit Sam Donald for playing well. I thought one of

753
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:52,960
Speaker 1: the keys was you knew, Dan had to know Andrew

754
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:55,680
Speaker 1: Luck is leading this team on a comeback bid. And

755
00:36:55,719 --> 00:36:58,759
Speaker 1: they kept that at Bay because Darnald kept leading field

756
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:01,879
Speaker 1: goal drives and Jason Meyer's day his credit kept making

757
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:04,080
Speaker 1: the field goals. That was huge. I mean Meyer's going

758
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:07,120
Speaker 1: seven for seven. That broke a fifty year old, fifty

759
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:12,560
Speaker 1: year old mark for field goals for the franchise. And yeah, um,

760
00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:15,400
Speaker 1: I'm real, I'm like head over heels about Donald. Uh,

761
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:17,480
Speaker 1: you know they he would have had another touchdown to

762
00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:19,719
Speaker 1: Robby Anderson dropped the ball in the corner of the

763
00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:22,239
Speaker 1: end zone that was perfectly placed. Otherwise they would have

764
00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:24,080
Speaker 1: even put more points on the board. I thought that

765
00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:26,879
Speaker 1: Donald the exception of one bad rookie interception he threw

766
00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:28,680
Speaker 1: in the first half where he kind of hung one

767
00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:32,160
Speaker 1: up that got picked off. Uh, he once again was calm,

768
00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:35,280
Speaker 1: he made He puts so many throws right on the money,

769
00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:38,200
Speaker 1: right where a receiver needs it. And uh every time

770
00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:40,360
Speaker 1: the Colts, like West said, seemed to be about to

771
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:42,279
Speaker 1: get back into the game, and they did get it

772
00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:45,120
Speaker 1: down to six. At one point it was thirty thirteen Jets.

773
00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:47,399
Speaker 1: They got it down to six, and then they would

774
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:49,359
Speaker 1: go down on the field for another long drive. You

775
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:51,960
Speaker 1: want some of those to be turned into touchdowns. But

776
00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:54,640
Speaker 1: the point is there was no three and outs. Uh.

777
00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:57,680
Speaker 1: He kept the team moving and uh and and the

778
00:37:57,719 --> 00:38:01,840
Speaker 1: Colts were weren't able to ever catch up. So, um,

779
00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:04,600
Speaker 1: Luck is great luck. There is no question to me

780
00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:07,680
Speaker 1: that Luck is Andrew Luck still uh, and that comes

781
00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:09,799
Speaker 1: with the good and the bad. This was a pure

782
00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:12,160
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck game right down to he threw a terrible

783
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:16,200
Speaker 1: interception that kind of sealed India's fate late in the game. Uh.

784
00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:18,759
Speaker 1: That was definitely on him. The early ones were not,

785
00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:21,400
Speaker 1: but Luck killed them a little bit at certain points.

786
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:23,759
Speaker 1: But overall he's a stud and he still is. I

787
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:27,600
Speaker 1: think it's an indictment to the Colts front office that

788
00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:29,960
Speaker 1: you've had this time while Andrew Luck has gone to

789
00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:32,640
Speaker 1: find a support system for his return, and it's the

790
00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:34,560
Speaker 1: New York Jets and a credit to their front office

791
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:37,080
Speaker 1: that has a better surrounding cast around Donald right now

792
00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:39,359
Speaker 1: than the Colts do around Luck. The Cults are just

793
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:42,200
Speaker 1: so decimated by injuries, but this seems to be what

794
00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:45,239
Speaker 1: we say about them every single year, that they're decimated

795
00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:49,080
Speaker 1: by injuries around Andrew Luck. And I've been building in

796
00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:51,279
Speaker 1: Doyle or their top two weapons. Well, I've been a

797
00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:55,560
Speaker 1: thin offense and picking on Eli a little bit because

798
00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:58,520
Speaker 1: look what Luck has around him and still getting four

799
00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:01,400
Speaker 1: hundred yards of offense every game. But this also extends

800
00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:03,799
Speaker 1: to a team like the Titans who aren't moving the ball.

801
00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:06,840
Speaker 1: The Colts are moving the ball so well for a

802
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:09,680
Speaker 1: team that's just absolutely decimated by injury. Was this Uh,

803
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:11,799
Speaker 1: you guys have watched all of his games? That was this?

804
00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:16,160
Speaker 1: Sam Donald's most complete I think it was. You could

805
00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:19,319
Speaker 1: put you could put this game in the week one

806
00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:22,360
Speaker 1: game probably uh, neck and neck, But this game, I

807
00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:25,080
Speaker 1: just thought he was so in control in his accuracy

808
00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:28,520
Speaker 1: and his ability to evade pressure and and not force

809
00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:32,719
Speaker 1: and make rookie errors. He made one, but I just think, yeah,

810
00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:36,520
Speaker 1: and Quincy and Noon has a potentially serious ankle injury.

811
00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:38,400
Speaker 1: He left this game earlier and there's a chance he

812
00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:40,239
Speaker 1: could be out for a long time, if not for

813
00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:42,000
Speaker 1: the rest of the year. So tell Prior is gonna

814
00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:44,799
Speaker 1: find a bigger role, and when he has had opportunities

815
00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:46,920
Speaker 1: this season, he's actually done good things with him, So

816
00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:48,520
Speaker 1: you're gonna see more. At the end of the day.

817
00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:51,239
Speaker 1: The Jets to three and three, and the quarterback is

818
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:54,680
Speaker 1: making strides as the season progresses. So so far, so good.

819
00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:56,680
Speaker 1: This is exactly what you wanted as a Jets fan,

820
00:39:56,800 --> 00:39:59,120
Speaker 1: even if it doesn't lead to a playoff. Berth let

821
00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:02,280
Speaker 1: us move on Marcus Mario in a pocket, collapsing pumps

822
00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:05,400
Speaker 1: once and he has sacked at is a record tenth

823
00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:08,239
Speaker 1: sack of the day by the Ravens defense. Paint On

824
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:14,440
Speaker 1: Owassu delivers the record drop down. Oh Jerry Sandusky w

825
00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:20,480
Speaker 1: b a L with the call. Yikes. The Baltimore Ravens

826
00:40:21,239 --> 00:40:26,520
Speaker 1: went nuts, setting a franchise record with eleven sacks, smothering

827
00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:30,439
Speaker 1: Marcus Mariotta and the Titans a to zip shut out

828
00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:33,279
Speaker 1: in Nashville, West. This was a throwback performance by the

829
00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:37,399
Speaker 1: Baltimore defense. They bullied the Titoons into submission in their

830
00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:40,880
Speaker 1: own backyard. They dominated this game. They man handled the

831
00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:44,520
Speaker 1: Titans in every way you can manhandle the team. Uh.

832
00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:46,640
Speaker 1: I guess there was a bit of a revenge factor.

833
00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:51,040
Speaker 1: Their former defensive coordinator, Dean ps retired and then he

834
00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:54,440
Speaker 1: came out of retirement to join the Titans. Um. It

835
00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:58,200
Speaker 1: seemed like that fired up the Ravens defense quite a bit,

836
00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:01,200
Speaker 1: But there's a lot of alim to go around. Marcus

837
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:04,560
Speaker 1: Mariota seemed to have troubled deciphering where the pressure was

838
00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:07,600
Speaker 1: gonna come from before the snap. His offensive line didn't

839
00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:10,200
Speaker 1: play well. The Ravens gave no respect whatsoever to the

840
00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:13,560
Speaker 1: to the Titans wide receivers, because nobody should respect their

841
00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:17,360
Speaker 1: wide receivers. Um. I think there's totally there. There's no

842
00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:20,320
Speaker 1: running game for Tennessee. There's no chain mover with the

843
00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:23,800
Speaker 1: Laney walker out. There's no semblance of a ball control

844
00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:27,840
Speaker 1: offense whatsoever with this offense. One hundred and six yards

845
00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:29,839
Speaker 1: the Titans ended up. This is one of those games

846
00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:31,960
Speaker 1: you kind of look out insane. The stats are to

847
00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:34,640
Speaker 1: three quarters and for some reason I always like root

848
00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:36,960
Speaker 1: for them to stay that way. But usually the team

849
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:39,560
Speaker 1: just kind of racks up a bunch of garbage yards

850
00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:41,560
Speaker 1: at the end. But not this game. They only ended

851
00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:44,160
Speaker 1: up with a hundred and six yards. Well, seven first

852
00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:47,239
Speaker 1: down he had left, he had less completions then he

853
00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:49,279
Speaker 1: then times he was sacked. He never heard of that.

854
00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:51,280
Speaker 1: At one point late in the third quarter, Mark said

855
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:55,560
Speaker 1: he's only got ten past attempts so far. Said, well,

856
00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:57,560
Speaker 1: he's dropped back to past twenty times. He's just been

857
00:41:57,560 --> 00:41:59,960
Speaker 1: only able to fire it off tentlem. The Titans had

858
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:05,799
Speaker 1: nine possessions and they punted nine times. That's tyoons. Excuse me. Yeah,

859
00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:07,719
Speaker 1: they don't deserve I mean, like I get the fan

860
00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:10,000
Speaker 1: base getting nancy when they have a nice win. But

861
00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:12,319
Speaker 1: this is a three and three team, and the three

862
00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:15,040
Speaker 1: losses have been they've been so true to for him

863
00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:17,279
Speaker 1: this year. There's been to me, no difference between this

864
00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:19,920
Speaker 1: year and past years. So they get hot and little spurts,

865
00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:22,480
Speaker 1: and then not only they lose, they look like a

866
00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:24,880
Speaker 1: bottom run team when they have these bad performances. I

867
00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:27,000
Speaker 1: gave their coaching staff quite a bit of credit for

868
00:42:27,040 --> 00:42:30,280
Speaker 1: those wins they eked out early on, but Matt Lafleur,

869
00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:32,400
Speaker 1: the coordinator, has to be under the microscope now. I

870
00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:35,120
Speaker 1: believe they are by far the worst offense in the

871
00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:37,440
Speaker 1: first half of games this year, and and the Ravens

872
00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:40,760
Speaker 1: deserve a ton of respect for tripling a team in

873
00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:44,880
Speaker 1: in total yardage and surviving what in the NFL is

874
00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:46,600
Speaker 1: one of the toughest things. I think when you look

875
00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:48,800
Speaker 1: at the schedule and you've got three straight road games

876
00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:51,319
Speaker 1: at any point, that's draw in the short straw. They've

877
00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:54,279
Speaker 1: had four out of six games on the road, uh

878
00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:56,359
Speaker 1: and there four and two coming out of that they

879
00:42:56,400 --> 00:42:58,759
Speaker 1: won two of these three road games, they they won

880
00:42:58,840 --> 00:43:02,399
Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh, they win in Tennessee, both fairly handily. They

881
00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:05,040
Speaker 1: lose that overtime game to the to the Browns. But overall,

882
00:43:05,080 --> 00:43:07,359
Speaker 1: if you're a Browns fan, I mean a Ravens fan,

883
00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:11,280
Speaker 1: they've managed this early part of the season. The Titans

884
00:43:11,719 --> 00:43:15,480
Speaker 1: are the only team in football other than the Cardinals

885
00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:18,400
Speaker 1: that haven't even scored a hundred points this year. Scored

886
00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:20,880
Speaker 1: eighty seven points in six games. And I know you

887
00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:22,439
Speaker 1: could look at a lot of people, but I'm also

888
00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:24,799
Speaker 1: looking right at that quarterback. I mean, you gotta if

889
00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:27,319
Speaker 1: you're a real franchise quarterback, you need to help raise

890
00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:30,040
Speaker 1: the team. And there's nothing that I see that he's

891
00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:33,480
Speaker 1: that guy. That's what I was saying Andrew Luck earlier.

892
00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:36,319
Speaker 1: Compare what Marcus Mariota is working with that running back

893
00:43:36,320 --> 00:43:39,000
Speaker 1: and wide receiver to the guys signed off the street

894
00:43:39,040 --> 00:43:41,239
Speaker 1: that the Cults are working with and Lux got four

895
00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:43,759
Speaker 1: hundred yards every week. I mean, this team a couple

896
00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:45,360
Speaker 1: of years ago was built around the idea of a

897
00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:47,680
Speaker 1: dominant offensive line and they would beat you up and

898
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:49,600
Speaker 1: run the ball and that would be their strength and

899
00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:53,680
Speaker 1: good or for good or proveder worst Mariota eleven sacks

900
00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:56,200
Speaker 1: or ten sacks in one game. I'm sure some of

901
00:43:56,200 --> 00:43:58,040
Speaker 1: them were on him, but that's just how how can

902
00:43:58,080 --> 00:44:00,520
Speaker 1: you operate as a quarterback. They had nine sacks in

903
00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:03,520
Speaker 1: five games before this, so it's not just like but

904
00:44:03,560 --> 00:44:05,640
Speaker 1: they haven't run the ball, which to me, with that

905
00:44:05,719 --> 00:44:08,359
Speaker 1: mine and with the talent that they have in terms

906
00:44:08,360 --> 00:44:10,279
Speaker 1: of Dion Lewis and Derrick Henry, that's one of the

907
00:44:10,280 --> 00:44:12,560
Speaker 1: most surprising things. Not that you can't run against the Ravens.

908
00:44:12,640 --> 00:44:15,120
Speaker 1: Ravens are a great team defense, but for six weeks

909
00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:17,759
Speaker 1: they've not been a running team at all. Here's here's

910
00:44:17,760 --> 00:44:20,560
Speaker 1: some mind blowing stats for you. Mariotta took more sacks

911
00:44:20,600 --> 00:44:23,400
Speaker 1: today than Peyton Manning took in his entire two thousand

912
00:44:23,520 --> 00:44:26,640
Speaker 1: nine MVP season. He had more sacks today than Dan

913
00:44:26,719 --> 00:44:29,920
Speaker 1: Marino took and back to back to back seasons in

914
00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:32,279
Speaker 1: the late eighties for the Dolls. That's why sacks that

915
00:44:32,360 --> 00:44:34,480
Speaker 1: got the coach a couple of previous coaches fired to

916
00:44:34,880 --> 00:44:36,719
Speaker 1: That is why a lot of it and I want

917
00:44:36,719 --> 00:44:38,880
Speaker 1: to watch it at least saw some of the sacks,

918
00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:42,280
Speaker 1: But sacks to me are half of a quarterback stat

919
00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:44,000
Speaker 1: That's what That's one thing I never used to think

920
00:44:44,120 --> 00:44:48,040
Speaker 1: until you you work football. That's a quarterback stat. And

921
00:44:48,040 --> 00:44:51,759
Speaker 1: one last uh points that seventy seven points allowed by

922
00:44:51,760 --> 00:44:54,640
Speaker 1: the Ravens in six games. That's first in the league.

923
00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:57,279
Speaker 1: The next closest team is the Bears with nineties six.

924
00:44:57,360 --> 00:45:00,000
Speaker 1: So this is a dangerous Ravens team and now they're

925
00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:02,839
Speaker 1: tied for first place. Let's move on. Good play can

926
00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:06,040
Speaker 1: look from the Shotguns takes cross it out to their

927
00:45:06,160 --> 00:45:09,920
Speaker 1: west side. Ain't cook play, ain't cook put the Redskins

928
00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:14,560
Speaker 1: hold the Panthers. Awesome comforts by Fabian Roe, Awesome coverage

929
00:45:14,640 --> 00:45:19,440
Speaker 1: by everybody across the board. W T E M the

930
00:45:19,480 --> 00:45:22,360
Speaker 1: Redskins radio network with a call. The Panthers fell in

931
00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:24,920
Speaker 1: an early double digit hole never were able to dig

932
00:45:25,239 --> 00:45:27,960
Speaker 1: themselves out. Cam Newton tossed three straight incompletions in the

933
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:31,279
Speaker 1: final minutes uh final minute, leading to a turnover on

934
00:45:31,400 --> 00:45:35,840
Speaker 1: downs that clinched a Ritz Redskins seventeen win over the Panthers.

935
00:45:36,320 --> 00:45:39,960
Speaker 1: Inland Over, the Skins forced three turnovers and got ninety

936
00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:43,120
Speaker 1: seven yards from Adrian Peterson and generally looked like a

937
00:45:43,200 --> 00:45:46,440
Speaker 1: completely different team than the one that got waxed by

938
00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:51,600
Speaker 1: the Saints last Monday Night. A big narrative around this game,

939
00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:54,320
Speaker 1: whether you care to get into it or not, is

940
00:45:54,440 --> 00:45:59,080
Speaker 1: Josh Norman, who uh his first game UM or turn

941
00:45:59,160 --> 00:46:02,239
Speaker 1: game against the Panthers, UH, coming off a week where

942
00:46:02,239 --> 00:46:06,120
Speaker 1: he caught UM criticism both inside and outside his building

943
00:46:06,520 --> 00:46:09,000
Speaker 1: and also was benched. During that Monday night game, he

944
00:46:09,040 --> 00:46:12,640
Speaker 1: had his first interception since late two thousand sixteen, also

945
00:46:12,719 --> 00:46:16,920
Speaker 1: broke up a pass, and generally was not UM an

946
00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:20,520
Speaker 1: issue for the Washington Redskins, which is something that they

947
00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:23,880
Speaker 1: expected more of, frankly when they gave him that huge contract.

948
00:46:24,600 --> 00:46:27,239
Speaker 1: But so Josh Norman has a good game against his

949
00:46:27,320 --> 00:46:31,080
Speaker 1: old team and West your boy Adrian Peterson uh in

950
00:46:31,200 --> 00:46:34,640
Speaker 1: their three wins Washington's three wins, a p has at

951
00:46:34,719 --> 00:46:38,040
Speaker 1: least ninety yards each game. UH. So when he gets

952
00:46:38,120 --> 00:46:40,760
Speaker 1: the ball and he is chewing up yardage and the clock,

953
00:46:41,200 --> 00:46:43,960
Speaker 1: they win games when he gets hurt, which is an

954
00:46:43,960 --> 00:46:45,600
Speaker 1: issue with him at this stage. But when he gets

955
00:46:45,640 --> 00:46:47,800
Speaker 1: hurt or they fall behind, it's a bad it's a

956
00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:50,200
Speaker 1: bad situation for them. So Peterson has to be involved.

957
00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:52,839
Speaker 1: I think this is something we've seen throughout the Jay

958
00:46:52,880 --> 00:46:55,200
Speaker 1: Gruden era, and Mark has talked about it quite a bit.

959
00:46:55,520 --> 00:46:58,560
Speaker 1: When the Redskins get up early, they will grind it

960
00:46:58,640 --> 00:47:00,480
Speaker 1: out on you. They will run it down your throats.

961
00:47:00,520 --> 00:47:02,920
Speaker 1: Their defense looks much better, and they can look as

962
00:47:02,920 --> 00:47:04,480
Speaker 1: good as just about any team in the league, and

963
00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:08,799
Speaker 1: then when they fall behind, they're a train wreck. Um,

964
00:47:09,160 --> 00:47:10,920
Speaker 1: I'm glad the Panthers are three and two and the

965
00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:12,719
Speaker 1: Redskins are three and two. I feel like that's where

966
00:47:12,719 --> 00:47:14,560
Speaker 1: they should be, even though the Redskins have been as

967
00:47:14,640 --> 00:47:17,480
Speaker 1: up and down a team as any team in the league.

968
00:47:17,560 --> 00:47:19,680
Speaker 1: When you said it, when they've looked good, they've looked

969
00:47:19,880 --> 00:47:22,279
Speaker 1: very good, and the Panthers, to me, weren't quite a

970
00:47:22,320 --> 00:47:23,880
Speaker 1: four and one team. So it's like, I like it

971
00:47:23,960 --> 00:47:26,200
Speaker 1: just when the teams find the appropriate I came out

972
00:47:26,200 --> 00:47:29,240
Speaker 1: of the Saints game very concerned about the Redskins in general,

973
00:47:29,320 --> 00:47:31,080
Speaker 1: so this is a nice bounce back went on a

974
00:47:31,120 --> 00:47:32,840
Speaker 1: short week. I like the Panthers a lot better as

975
00:47:32,840 --> 00:47:34,719
Speaker 1: a team than Washington. I think they just kind of

976
00:47:34,840 --> 00:47:37,520
Speaker 1: screwed themselves with a very bad start in this game.

977
00:47:37,560 --> 00:47:40,160
Speaker 1: I think Carolina probably beats this Redskins team seven out

978
00:47:40,200 --> 00:47:42,680
Speaker 1: of ten games, but that's not what happened in this game.

979
00:47:42,719 --> 00:47:46,840
Speaker 1: One one other note Alex Smith, who has been you know,

980
00:47:46,960 --> 00:47:50,200
Speaker 1: on and off this season, definitely was not on in

981
00:47:50,280 --> 00:47:53,200
Speaker 1: this game either. It should not be overlooked that he

982
00:47:53,320 --> 00:47:57,440
Speaker 1: averaged um about four and a half yards per attempt

983
00:47:57,480 --> 00:48:00,200
Speaker 1: of this game. Anybody else worried about him? That's a low,

984
00:48:00,280 --> 00:48:05,120
Speaker 1: this kind of bad Alex Smith. That yeah, he is not.

985
00:48:05,640 --> 00:48:07,160
Speaker 1: He has not looked like the guy he was in

986
00:48:07,560 --> 00:48:11,000
Speaker 1: Kansas City. So um, but still they get the win,

987
00:48:11,600 --> 00:48:14,440
Speaker 1: and um, he didn't throw it outside? And I think

988
00:48:14,440 --> 00:48:17,760
Speaker 1: they should do that? What for one year, just one season?

989
00:48:18,280 --> 00:48:20,640
Speaker 1: When you say, like the Panthers and Redskins that they

990
00:48:20,680 --> 00:48:23,959
Speaker 1: played ten times, just for one year, have every team

991
00:48:24,040 --> 00:48:26,879
Speaker 1: play one other team sixteen times and see what where

992
00:48:26,960 --> 00:48:29,480
Speaker 1: you going? I mean a lot of fights. Think how

993
00:48:29,600 --> 00:48:34,239
Speaker 1: definitive it would be Bengal Steelers games, no players left, right,

994
00:48:34,320 --> 00:48:36,520
Speaker 1: whoever whoever comes out on top. Then they make a

995
00:48:36,640 --> 00:48:41,520
Speaker 1: sixteen team playoff and you and your party I love it. Hey, guys,

Speaker 1: not you know, honking about Josh Norman, D'Angelo Holby. Get

1024
00:50:10,239 --> 00:50:14,480
Speaker 1: out of my dock, bro Let's move up Cousins understenter

1025
00:50:14,520 --> 00:50:27,839
Speaker 1: hands to Latvias. What about touchdown and the fuckings are

1026
00:50:27,960 --> 00:50:31,520
Speaker 1: chicken the league Paul Allen k f n A with

1027
00:50:31,760 --> 00:50:33,960
Speaker 1: a call. The Minnesota Vikings got a career best a

1028
00:50:34,080 --> 00:50:37,279
Speaker 1: hundred fifty five yards on the ground from Latavius Murray,

1029
00:50:37,280 --> 00:50:41,600
Speaker 1: including that touchdown, as the Bikes became the latest team

1030
00:50:41,640 --> 00:50:45,200
Speaker 1: to beat up on the hapless Cardinals. The finals seventeen

1031
00:50:45,239 --> 00:50:47,920
Speaker 1: in favor of Minnesota, which combined a strong ground game

1032
00:50:47,960 --> 00:50:51,640
Speaker 1: with a welcome return of their swarming defense. A nice

1033
00:50:51,719 --> 00:50:55,080
Speaker 1: get right game for the Purple people. Mark Yeah, I

1034
00:50:55,120 --> 00:50:57,760
Speaker 1: mean you're getting an all Pro season from Adam Thealen,

1035
00:50:57,840 --> 00:51:01,560
Speaker 1: who has now six straight Ard performances and was dominant

1036
00:51:01,560 --> 00:51:05,800
Speaker 1: again today. It is eleven catches today, one with a touchdown.

1037
00:51:06,320 --> 00:51:08,920
Speaker 1: And there were various moments where you felt the Vikings

1038
00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:11,560
Speaker 1: just repeatedly putting the Cardinals away in this thing. It

1039
00:51:11,680 --> 00:51:13,160
Speaker 1: helped they have not been able to run the ball.

1040
00:51:13,200 --> 00:51:15,240
Speaker 1: We saw that firsthand when they were in that Rams

1041
00:51:15,320 --> 00:51:17,600
Speaker 1: game the week before that and after, so this was

1042
00:51:17,719 --> 00:51:19,719
Speaker 1: a you get a different offense when you can do

1043
00:51:19,840 --> 00:51:21,640
Speaker 1: what they've been trying to do, what they did last year.

1044
00:51:22,040 --> 00:51:24,960
Speaker 1: And for the Cardinals, I just I think our friend

1045
00:51:25,080 --> 00:51:27,959
Speaker 1: Jason Zumwald, who is a Cardinals fan and a die hard,

1046
00:51:28,040 --> 00:51:30,400
Speaker 1: and it is a long autumn they're being put through

1047
00:51:30,480 --> 00:51:32,120
Speaker 1: right now, because there's not a whole lot to like.

1048
00:51:32,480 --> 00:51:35,040
Speaker 1: If a couple of bright points though the defense this

1049
00:51:35,680 --> 00:51:38,160
Speaker 1: before this got out of hand, the defense did a

1050
00:51:38,200 --> 00:51:40,480
Speaker 1: lot to disrupt Kirk Cousins. I think they had six

1051
00:51:40,600 --> 00:51:45,440
Speaker 1: block passes. They generated an ugly interception for Cousins and

1052
00:51:45,840 --> 00:51:48,880
Speaker 1: a strip sack that wound up causing a touchdown for

1053
00:51:49,160 --> 00:51:51,239
Speaker 1: for the Cardinals as well, keeping them in this game.

1054
00:51:51,280 --> 00:51:53,719
Speaker 1: Attend to ten at one point, then the wheels fell off.

1055
00:51:54,120 --> 00:51:56,920
Speaker 1: Josh Rosen there just feels like someone who you're not

1056
00:51:57,000 --> 00:51:59,360
Speaker 1: getting the best version of David Johnson right now on

1057
00:51:59,400 --> 00:52:01,840
Speaker 1: any level. I cannot run the ball. I think what

1058
00:52:01,960 --> 00:52:06,040
Speaker 1: he has going on, I would not say he is

1059
00:52:06,520 --> 00:52:10,040
Speaker 1: bordering on that yet there is promise Sam Rosen. You know,

1060
00:52:10,239 --> 00:52:12,919
Speaker 1: Sam Rosen maybe is living his best nap seen this game.

1061
00:52:13,000 --> 00:52:15,640
Speaker 1: So it's a lot of Rosen that there was maybe

1062
00:52:15,719 --> 00:52:18,239
Speaker 1: too much Rosen, but I like, uh, what what he

1063
00:52:18,320 --> 00:52:20,600
Speaker 1: has with Christian Kirks. I think that Josh Rosen just

1064
00:52:20,760 --> 00:52:24,080
Speaker 1: needs a little bit more time here. Uh it's these

1065
00:52:24,239 --> 00:52:25,839
Speaker 1: Cardinals games are tough to watch. What do you try

1066
00:52:25,880 --> 00:52:28,759
Speaker 1: to say? Too much Rosen? You know what I'm saying, Yeah,

1067
00:52:28,800 --> 00:52:30,840
Speaker 1: what do you mean by that? You said that, I

1068
00:52:30,920 --> 00:52:33,399
Speaker 1: didn't say that. You know what I'm saying. I'm saying,

1069
00:52:33,480 --> 00:52:36,640
Speaker 1: there's never enough Rosen. Bring me all the Rosens. I

1070
00:52:36,680 --> 00:52:39,799
Speaker 1: think you had most of them, todays of them. Bring him.

1071
00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:43,520
Speaker 1: My favorite high school teacher's name was Mr Rosen. Was her?

1072
00:52:45,120 --> 00:52:49,080
Speaker 1: He was not involved in this red or maybe he

1073
00:52:49,120 --> 00:52:51,279
Speaker 1: could have picked up a third down because the Cardinals then,

1074
00:52:52,520 --> 00:52:54,880
Speaker 1: is the problem David Johnson or the offensive line or

1075
00:52:54,920 --> 00:52:58,160
Speaker 1: the play calls. I'm sure David Johnson isn't suddenly not

1076
00:52:58,239 --> 00:53:00,279
Speaker 1: a good running I think he's just hard. You can

1077
00:53:00,320 --> 00:53:03,840
Speaker 1: see the explosiveness in in some plays. So to me,

1078
00:53:03,960 --> 00:53:05,960
Speaker 1: it has to be the coaching in the in the line.

1079
00:53:06,160 --> 00:53:09,920
Speaker 1: It's one of the more like the few offensive coaching

1080
00:53:09,960 --> 00:53:12,440
Speaker 1: staffs lack as much creativity as the Cardinals appear to

1081
00:53:12,480 --> 00:53:15,680
Speaker 1: you right now, um enclosing, Mark are you okay with

1082
00:53:15,840 --> 00:53:21,000
Speaker 1: people that go by the last name Rosen, I never

1083
00:53:21,080 --> 00:53:23,360
Speaker 1: claim not to be. I don't know what this typical

1084
00:53:23,480 --> 00:53:26,680
Speaker 1: Dan driven narrative is. You said there's too many resins

1085
00:53:27,120 --> 00:53:30,320
Speaker 1: Dan driven, I I listen. I mean, do you know

1086
00:53:30,440 --> 00:53:33,879
Speaker 1: this is absurd? It's absurd. Let's get onto the next game.

1087
00:53:34,640 --> 00:53:37,200
Speaker 1: Goth is set up understander girl behind him, but one

1088
00:53:37,239 --> 00:53:39,839
Speaker 1: of the left saw Curly with space good fine too,

1089
00:53:39,960 --> 00:53:44,920
Speaker 1: gone touch down, Tuck Curly, touch down away, forget the

1090
00:53:45,040 --> 00:53:49,320
Speaker 1: first down. Real will take the touchdowns running like a

1091
00:53:49,400 --> 00:53:54,560
Speaker 1: wild man right now? Wow's that your neighbor JB JB

1092
00:53:54,680 --> 00:54:00,200
Speaker 1: Long with the casp and I sure hope so. Hod

1093
00:54:00,239 --> 00:54:04,320
Speaker 1: Gurley continues to dominate for the best team in football.

1094
00:54:04,520 --> 00:54:07,800
Speaker 1: Todd Gurley rush for two eight yards and two scores,

1095
00:54:08,239 --> 00:54:12,680
Speaker 1: leading the Ramps over the Broncos at Mile High. There

1096
00:54:12,760 --> 00:54:14,920
Speaker 1: was a garbage time touchdown in there. Don't get too

1097
00:54:15,440 --> 00:54:19,200
Speaker 1: hyped up, Broncos fans, not that you were. They hyped upright,

1098
00:54:19,320 --> 00:54:22,000
Speaker 1: Probably in a bad spot right now. Anyway, the Rams

1099
00:54:22,040 --> 00:54:24,920
Speaker 1: are in are an NFL best six and oh and Gurly,

1100
00:54:25,800 --> 00:54:28,480
Speaker 1: it's just the latest star Greg to enter that m

1101
00:54:28,560 --> 00:54:33,080
Speaker 1: v P conversation. I love seeing the Rams win different

1102
00:54:33,160 --> 00:54:37,120
Speaker 1: types of ways. You wanna hold our quarterback to two

1103
00:54:37,560 --> 00:54:42,320
Speaker 1: one yards? You know, completion any South America? So be it?

1104
00:54:43,640 --> 00:54:46,200
Speaker 1: What's going on? I don't need to listen to Erica?

1105
00:54:46,239 --> 00:54:50,239
Speaker 1: Oh the music was still. I just seen how long

1106
00:54:50,280 --> 00:54:57,480
Speaker 1: would have taken before she I had literally she's watching

1107
00:54:57,600 --> 00:55:01,800
Speaker 1: various like Boston sporting events have, and it was alright,

1108
00:55:02,160 --> 00:55:05,840
Speaker 1: totally tuned out. They show up there, it's a windy,

1109
00:55:06,120 --> 00:55:08,560
Speaker 1: snowy day. They lean on the running game like they

1110
00:55:08,600 --> 00:55:12,719
Speaker 1: did late last week. Yes, that's well, that's punched it in.

1111
00:55:13,200 --> 00:55:15,759
Speaker 1: That is well done. Two eight yards and a couple

1112
00:55:15,800 --> 00:55:18,200
Speaker 1: of touchdowns, including the key the key drive late in

1113
00:55:18,239 --> 00:55:20,920
Speaker 1: the game. It wasn't necessarily garbage time that the Broncos

1114
00:55:21,000 --> 00:55:22,839
Speaker 1: got back in this. It was a seven point game,

1115
00:55:23,320 --> 00:55:25,880
Speaker 1: about eight minutes to go, and the Rams got the

1116
00:55:25,920 --> 00:55:27,719
Speaker 1: ball and they did what good teams did. They ran

1117
00:55:27,800 --> 00:55:29,680
Speaker 1: out about five minutes of the clock and it was

1118
00:55:29,719 --> 00:55:32,920
Speaker 1: mostly girly. Problem is, even if it wasn't garbage time,

1119
00:55:32,960 --> 00:55:35,080
Speaker 1: it's hard just to believe in this Broncos offense. And

1120
00:55:35,440 --> 00:55:38,279
Speaker 1: it seemed for a moment or two here that one

1121
00:55:38,320 --> 00:55:40,919
Speaker 1: of Chris Wesleyan's accountable hop takes from the Twitter show

1122
00:55:41,400 --> 00:55:45,640
Speaker 1: might have come to fruition you mentioned you can explain it. Yes,

1123
00:55:45,719 --> 00:55:49,279
Speaker 1: that even Keenum or Advanced Joseph will be replaced by

1124
00:55:49,320 --> 00:55:51,279
Speaker 1: the end of the month. And when we saw Chack

1125
00:55:51,360 --> 00:55:53,960
Speaker 1: Kelly come out right before half time, we thought, hey,

1126
00:55:54,080 --> 00:55:56,680
Speaker 1: they finally yanked case Keenum. Yeah, it was a tough

1127
00:55:56,800 --> 00:55:58,600
Speaker 1: It was a tough moment for case Keenum. They were

1128
00:55:58,680 --> 00:56:01,320
Speaker 1: checking him for a concussion and the moment that he

1129
00:56:01,640 --> 00:56:04,600
Speaker 1: got out of the concussion test, which he passed, he

1130
00:56:04,840 --> 00:56:08,680
Speaker 1: heard a stadium full of Broncos fans cheering for swag

1131
00:56:08,800 --> 00:56:12,359
Speaker 1: Kelly coming on the field. Not gonna be the last

1132
00:56:12,400 --> 00:56:14,200
Speaker 1: time this season that happens. It's not. This was a

1133
00:56:14,239 --> 00:56:17,919
Speaker 1: great week for your for your prediction, Chris, because case

1134
00:56:18,040 --> 00:56:21,600
Speaker 1: Keenum through a terrible interception that stats look okay, but

1135
00:56:21,840 --> 00:56:25,279
Speaker 1: definitely missed a number of make uple throws. After the game,

1136
00:56:25,400 --> 00:56:28,000
Speaker 1: Vance Joseph said, cases are quarterback. But now we're into

1137
00:56:28,080 --> 00:56:31,440
Speaker 1: the answering that weekly part of the season. We're also

1138
00:56:31,560 --> 00:56:33,959
Speaker 1: into the answering his face. Vans Joseph is still gonna

1139
00:56:33,960 --> 00:56:36,360
Speaker 1: be I was gonna get to that because Ian Rapport

1140
00:56:36,400 --> 00:56:40,359
Speaker 1: reported that the Broncos are monitoring Vans closely. What does

1141
00:56:40,400 --> 00:56:42,640
Speaker 1: that mean? Like, well, I would think you're usually doing

1142
00:56:42,719 --> 00:56:45,040
Speaker 1: that with your head coach following home in his car,

1143
00:56:45,320 --> 00:56:46,719
Speaker 1: and the I R. S Is on the case, and

1144
00:56:46,760 --> 00:56:48,960
Speaker 1: they said Joseph was taking a little more hands on

1145
00:56:49,080 --> 00:56:52,480
Speaker 1: approach with the defense and oh yeah, bring it up.

1146
00:56:52,840 --> 00:56:55,480
Speaker 1: And there was a spot early in this game whereas

1147
00:56:55,520 --> 00:56:58,080
Speaker 1: fourth and three around midfield and he went for it,

1148
00:56:58,160 --> 00:57:00,279
Speaker 1: and I started thinking, this is this is not Vans

1149
00:57:00,360 --> 00:57:02,600
Speaker 1: being Vans. I don't mind them going for it, but

1150
00:57:03,040 --> 00:57:04,640
Speaker 1: you can almost feel like this is a call he's

1151
00:57:04,640 --> 00:57:06,480
Speaker 1: making because he's like, I gotta mix it up, I

1152
00:57:06,520 --> 00:57:10,480
Speaker 1: gotta do some cut to the Joseph house. It's like, honey,

1153
00:57:10,719 --> 00:57:13,600
Speaker 1: John always sitting in a van outside the house. Again,

1154
00:57:14,200 --> 00:57:17,160
Speaker 1: he's got monitoring equipment. He's watching us. Yeah, I mean

1155
00:57:17,160 --> 00:57:20,120
Speaker 1: I would monitor John always. Inability to find a quarterback

1156
00:57:20,880 --> 00:57:23,360
Speaker 1: or an offensive line that just maybe the biggest issue.

1157
00:57:23,400 --> 00:57:26,280
Speaker 1: Garrett Bawls, their left tackle first round pick, has been

1158
00:57:26,320 --> 00:57:28,800
Speaker 1: a huge problem for them. He's in the Mangini vortex

1159
00:57:28,880 --> 00:57:30,960
Speaker 1: when you start doing things you wouldn't do because you

1160
00:57:31,040 --> 00:57:33,120
Speaker 1: want to try to act like someone you're not. I

1161
00:57:33,480 --> 00:57:36,560
Speaker 1: totally agree, and I think you the lway and the

1162
00:57:36,800 --> 00:57:39,920
Speaker 1: ownership will notice not almost ten thousand people didn't show

1163
00:57:40,000 --> 00:57:42,480
Speaker 1: up for this game that bought tickets. That doesn't happen

1164
00:57:42,520 --> 00:57:44,880
Speaker 1: in Denver. And I know the weather was bad and everything,

1165
00:57:44,960 --> 00:57:46,680
Speaker 1: but it's like a lot of people, a lot of

1166
00:57:46,720 --> 00:57:48,920
Speaker 1: people left. When it was twenty three, people started just

1167
00:57:49,000 --> 00:57:51,000
Speaker 1: going going to the exit. So that's a bad sign.

1168
00:57:51,400 --> 00:57:54,720
Speaker 1: My my tip for advance Joseph. Uh, you know it's

1169
00:57:54,760 --> 00:57:57,360
Speaker 1: only amount of time and it could have already happened.

1170
00:57:57,920 --> 00:58:00,520
Speaker 1: Uh that they put in monitoring device on your car

1171
00:58:00,680 --> 00:58:05,520
Speaker 1: to GPS you check check the gas cap. Sometimes what

1172
00:58:05,600 --> 00:58:08,640
Speaker 1: they do is they put a um, a fake gas

1173
00:58:08,760 --> 00:58:11,520
Speaker 1: cap onto your car, and that could be bugged. So

1174
00:58:11,640 --> 00:58:14,000
Speaker 1: I just ripped that thing off and lose it. It's

1175
00:58:14,000 --> 00:58:17,240
Speaker 1: good ad and um that's a starter. Just and keep

1176
00:58:17,240 --> 00:58:18,760
Speaker 1: your head on a swivel and watch out for the

1177
00:58:18,800 --> 00:58:22,200
Speaker 1: banana banana and the tail point. What always One last

1178
00:58:22,240 --> 00:58:25,880
Speaker 1: thing on the ram side is just that watching every

1179
00:58:26,240 --> 00:58:28,800
Speaker 1: team every week, Like you don't have to just pick

1180
00:58:28,880 --> 00:58:31,000
Speaker 1: someone else other than Aaron Donald for Defensive Player of

1181
00:58:31,000 --> 00:58:32,560
Speaker 1: the Year just because it's more exciting. Like I'm not

1182
00:58:32,680 --> 00:58:35,520
Speaker 1: convinced there's anyone better at football than Aaron Donald. Still

1183
00:58:35,680 --> 00:58:39,480
Speaker 1: week after week. I meant a long way to go.

1184
00:58:39,680 --> 00:58:41,400
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, just keep that in mind. There's ten

1185
00:58:41,440 --> 00:58:43,640
Speaker 1: more games to go. He's pretty great. One more note,

1186
00:58:44,080 --> 00:58:46,840
Speaker 1: everybody hates the horse collar tackle because you lose a

1187
00:58:46,960 --> 00:58:49,760
Speaker 1: c l s because of it. Uh Jerry Rice and

1188
00:58:49,840 --> 00:58:51,920
Speaker 1: countless others through the years. I thought that's what happened

1189
00:58:51,920 --> 00:58:54,400
Speaker 1: at Cooper Cup on a sideline tackle in this game.

1190
00:58:54,720 --> 00:58:56,720
Speaker 1: Somehow he actually came back in the game. But Greg,

1191
00:58:56,760 --> 00:58:59,600
Speaker 1: you said he exited shortly after that. Uh, so I

1192
00:58:59,800 --> 00:59:02,440
Speaker 1: sue him. Everything checks out, okay, But when he got

1193
00:59:02,480 --> 00:59:04,200
Speaker 1: carded off the field, he wondered if it was the

1194
00:59:04,320 --> 00:59:07,800
Speaker 1: last time you saw that great triplet receiver group together.

1195
00:59:08,560 --> 00:59:13,640
Speaker 1: Hopefully it's nothing serious. Finally, or I shouldn't say finally.

1196
00:59:14,200 --> 00:59:18,480
Speaker 1: Penultimately that is correct, nice Penultimately, Yes, let's move on.

1197
00:59:19,360 --> 00:59:22,520
Speaker 1: There's a shotgun snap Russell fumbles to snap, books, Puff

1198
00:59:22,560 --> 00:59:27,040
Speaker 1: fakes steps up, droves to the ends. More series touched

1199
00:59:27,120 --> 00:59:32,040
Speaker 1: up Seahawks. As More goes over the back behind the

1200
00:59:32,280 --> 00:59:37,680
Speaker 1: end zone, here's the sand, but he hangs on. Steve

1201
00:59:37,960 --> 00:59:42,920
Speaker 1: Rabele kay I r oh with the call the NFL

1202
00:59:43,520 --> 00:59:48,120
Speaker 1: return to London. Shame we couldn't give you blokes. What's

1203
00:59:48,160 --> 00:59:52,400
Speaker 1: the what's the female equivalent of blokes out there, Sheila,

1204
00:59:52,840 --> 00:59:58,320
Speaker 1: that's that's Australian dames, a dame a bird birds just

1205
00:59:58,440 --> 01:00:01,320
Speaker 1: maybe not Yeah, bloke and far it's shames. We couldn't

1206
01:00:01,320 --> 01:00:03,560
Speaker 1: give you a better game. Russell Wilson through for three

1207
01:00:03,640 --> 01:00:07,800
Speaker 1: touchdowns the Seahawks roll to three victory over the Oakland

1208
01:00:07,880 --> 01:00:12,800
Speaker 1: Raiders at Wembley Stadium. Mark the Seahawks have their way

1209
01:00:12,840 --> 01:00:16,520
Speaker 1: with a very very bad Raiders team. Appreciate Greg very

1210
01:00:16,600 --> 01:00:19,000
Speaker 1: wisely staying out of that conversation in a minute ago.

1211
01:00:19,160 --> 01:00:23,560
Speaker 1: Um two things. I think Seattle's can hang around to

1212
01:00:23,600 --> 01:00:26,400
Speaker 1: the end, no matter what that's about basketball. I'm not

1213
01:00:26,600 --> 01:00:31,840
Speaker 1: interested now he knew. I'll let you guys blow yourselves up.

1214
01:00:32,440 --> 01:00:35,680
Speaker 1: This is Greg's new favorite team, Seattle. Greg is a supporter,

1215
01:00:36,080 --> 01:00:39,160
Speaker 1: and I think you should be after today. But the Raiders, meanwhile,

1216
01:00:39,280 --> 01:00:43,320
Speaker 1: are a raging embarrassment. This team is as disorganized as

1217
01:00:43,360 --> 01:00:46,560
Speaker 1: any in the NFL right now. They completely vanished today.

1218
01:00:47,040 --> 01:00:50,200
Speaker 1: And the problems do not extend to not Derek Carr

1219
01:00:50,240 --> 01:00:53,800
Speaker 1: as well. They can't protect him. He does not seem

1220
01:00:53,920 --> 01:00:56,080
Speaker 1: right to me right now. They can't run the ball.

1221
01:00:56,240 --> 01:00:59,240
Speaker 1: There's just a giant hot mess that could do nothing

1222
01:00:59,280 --> 01:01:02,120
Speaker 1: that will. Seahawk opened this game with a four team

1223
01:01:02,200 --> 01:01:05,160
Speaker 1: play eighty two yards scoring drive that milked almost eight

1224
01:01:05,240 --> 01:01:07,080
Speaker 1: minutes off the clock, and you knew the game was

1225
01:01:07,160 --> 01:01:11,520
Speaker 1: over the minute they scored. That's Brian Schottenheimer's wet dream.

1226
01:01:11,640 --> 01:01:14,960
Speaker 1: I mean, they're starting to play like Brian Schottenheimer wants

1227
01:01:15,480 --> 01:01:18,240
Speaker 1: them to play, which is these long, punishing, scoring drives,

1228
01:01:18,280 --> 01:01:21,560
Speaker 1: and they look pretty good doing it. And yeah, you're right, West,

1229
01:01:21,720 --> 01:01:25,160
Speaker 1: you never know what teams you're gonna start enjoying during

1230
01:01:25,200 --> 01:01:27,320
Speaker 1: the season. I'm kind of just feeling the Seahawks team

1231
01:01:27,360 --> 01:01:32,080
Speaker 1: as a team to watch out for. About that, I

1232
01:01:32,160 --> 01:01:35,800
Speaker 1: said downstairs, they they're either the best bad team or

1233
01:01:35,800 --> 01:01:38,600
Speaker 1: the worst good team. But there's there's fun to be had,

1234
01:01:38,680 --> 01:01:40,960
Speaker 1: and I think they're gonna be tough to be in Seattle.

1235
01:01:41,240 --> 01:01:43,400
Speaker 1: I think they're running game is pretty fun to watch.

1236
01:01:43,520 --> 01:01:45,880
Speaker 1: Their offensive line is certainly better, which is a relief

1237
01:01:46,240 --> 01:01:49,280
Speaker 1: after watching them for all these years. And everyone's gonna

1238
01:01:49,320 --> 01:01:52,360
Speaker 1: look better against the Raiders. I mean, you're right, it's

1239
01:01:52,400 --> 01:01:54,040
Speaker 1: not just the offense. That's just even like I went

1240
01:01:54,120 --> 01:01:55,840
Speaker 1: to you know, you look at the stats after the game,

1241
01:01:55,920 --> 01:01:58,120
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, how the Raiders doing the red zone

1242
01:01:58,440 --> 01:02:00,360
Speaker 1: and it's like, oh, oh for oh, because they didn't

1243
01:02:00,360 --> 01:02:02,000
Speaker 1: they didn't get to the red zone, no, and then

1244
01:02:02,080 --> 01:02:04,040
Speaker 1: it did not reach there. Guys like you know, you

1245
01:02:04,120 --> 01:02:06,400
Speaker 1: go and try to sell us on Martevis Brian and

1246
01:02:06,480 --> 01:02:08,800
Speaker 1: Jordy Nelson and they both totally I'm not even sure

1247
01:02:08,800 --> 01:02:10,960
Speaker 1: they took the flight over from the States in this game,

1248
01:02:11,320 --> 01:02:15,320
Speaker 1: totally invisible, and their offensive tackle situation right now is

1249
01:02:15,400 --> 01:02:18,960
Speaker 1: such a mess. Frank Clark in the Seahawks defensive line

1250
01:02:19,080 --> 01:02:21,840
Speaker 1: absolutely dominated that matchup, and that's why I think it

1251
01:02:21,920 --> 01:02:26,160
Speaker 1: was over from the very beginning. I think when they traded,

1252
01:02:26,360 --> 01:02:28,959
Speaker 1: or I should say they John Gruden traded Khalil Mack,

1253
01:02:29,200 --> 01:02:32,840
Speaker 1: it was made clear that this is a rebuilding organization

1254
01:02:33,560 --> 01:02:36,040
Speaker 1: and this season was never gonna go well for them.

1255
01:02:36,480 --> 01:02:38,800
Speaker 1: They don't want it to go embarrassingly poorly, and it

1256
01:02:39,080 --> 01:02:41,320
Speaker 1: could be heading down that road. But I just I

1257
01:02:41,680 --> 01:02:43,320
Speaker 1: the only thing I'll say is that I don't know.

1258
01:02:43,440 --> 01:02:45,080
Speaker 1: I think it might be premature to say that the

1259
01:02:45,280 --> 01:02:48,080
Speaker 1: entire decision to bring John Gruden back is an embarrassing

1260
01:02:48,080 --> 01:02:51,880
Speaker 1: I would say even if season that is fair, even

1261
01:02:51,960 --> 01:02:54,560
Speaker 1: if he is a productive coach, that a year from

1262
01:02:54,600 --> 01:02:57,320
Speaker 1: now has them in a better place. Signing anyone to

1263
01:02:57,480 --> 01:03:01,240
Speaker 1: a ten year contract is hubre. It was crazy and

1264
01:03:01,360 --> 01:03:04,560
Speaker 1: there I just need time to see how this plays out.

1265
01:03:04,640 --> 01:03:06,880
Speaker 1: It was never gonna be a one year The Raiders

1266
01:03:06,920 --> 01:03:09,080
Speaker 1: are now relevant because John Gruden was bad. I just

1267
01:03:09,080 --> 01:03:10,680
Speaker 1: want to see how plays out because they're not. They're

1268
01:03:10,720 --> 01:03:14,640
Speaker 1: not a draft away from suddenly becoming something that we

1269
01:03:15,000 --> 01:03:17,240
Speaker 1: enjoy watching because he's getting rid of so many of

1270
01:03:17,280 --> 01:03:21,160
Speaker 1: the players that helped them before. The offensive line used

1271
01:03:21,160 --> 01:03:23,880
Speaker 1: to be good not so much anymore. Ian Rappaport did

1272
01:03:23,960 --> 01:03:26,440
Speaker 1: report after this game that Derek Carr was playing through

1273
01:03:26,440 --> 01:03:29,680
Speaker 1: his shoulder injury that they hope not gonna cause him

1274
01:03:29,720 --> 01:03:32,960
Speaker 1: to miss any time, but when he re injured, they

1275
01:03:33,000 --> 01:03:35,800
Speaker 1: have a bye week coming up. So it's crazy to

1276
01:03:35,840 --> 01:03:38,080
Speaker 1: look at the passing chart of where he threw the ball.

1277
01:03:38,080 --> 01:03:40,000
Speaker 1: He only threw two passes more than ten yards. He's

1278
01:03:40,000 --> 01:03:42,640
Speaker 1: an interesting crazy He's an interesting guy to watch it

1279
01:03:42,720 --> 01:03:45,040
Speaker 1: attempted to that went more than ten yards. He's an

1280
01:03:45,040 --> 01:03:47,000
Speaker 1: interesting guy to watch it because you wonder if he's

1281
01:03:47,000 --> 01:03:49,880
Speaker 1: going to be part of the rebuild to come, and

1282
01:03:50,000 --> 01:03:52,120
Speaker 1: if he ends up being a guy that's traded in

1283
01:03:52,160 --> 01:03:54,120
Speaker 1: the off season, who would be interested in the Derek

1284
01:03:54,160 --> 01:03:56,920
Speaker 1: car And where is his value in two thousand eighteen

1285
01:03:56,920 --> 01:03:58,800
Speaker 1: two thousand nineteen. But that's all down the road, and

1286
01:03:59,040 --> 01:04:00,560
Speaker 1: they're not going to be an eight and eight team.

1287
01:04:00,560 --> 01:04:02,480
Speaker 1: They're gonna have a top three or four pick potentially,

1288
01:04:02,560 --> 01:04:04,440
Speaker 1: so there may be another quarterback sitting out there. You

1289
01:04:04,520 --> 01:04:06,400
Speaker 1: just never know. You could say that about everyone on

1290
01:04:06,480 --> 01:04:08,080
Speaker 1: this roster who's going to be a part of the

1291
01:04:08,160 --> 01:04:11,400
Speaker 1: next Good Raiders team. The fact, if I'm a Shaks fan,

1292
01:04:11,920 --> 01:04:13,560
Speaker 1: the last thing I'd say on that is the fact

1293
01:04:13,600 --> 01:04:15,439
Speaker 1: that Doug Baldwin showed up and looked like a number

1294
01:04:15,440 --> 01:04:18,760
Speaker 1: one receiver again is like, is amazing news and and

1295
01:04:18,920 --> 01:04:24,360
Speaker 1: really augurs well for them. Going back to second second,

1296
01:04:24,400 --> 01:04:26,560
Speaker 1: let's let's let's recap here before we get to Sunday

1297
01:04:26,640 --> 01:04:30,040
Speaker 1: Night football. Greg drops an Augur's at that was because

1298
01:04:30,120 --> 01:04:32,200
Speaker 1: last night before a Minute, Mark liked it, and you

1299
01:04:32,320 --> 01:04:35,720
Speaker 1: also had atten large earlier in today's show. Somebody what

1300
01:04:35,760 --> 01:04:37,440
Speaker 1: didn't reading picks you? I was gonna say, what have

1301
01:04:37,520 --> 01:04:41,040
Speaker 1: you been perusing lately? Greg? Al right, not as much

1302
01:04:41,080 --> 01:04:43,360
Speaker 1: as I like. You know, football season makes it tough,

1303
01:04:44,240 --> 01:04:47,560
Speaker 1: good chatter. One more game to get to let's do

1304
01:04:47,640 --> 01:04:59,520
Speaker 1: it first grade down the sideline. He's been so silent

1305
01:05:00,160 --> 01:05:06,120
Speaker 1: night long. And then finally on Porkom in the biggest moment.

1306
01:05:06,280 --> 01:05:10,320
Speaker 1: And now for Tom Brady, he sees Crock, he sees

1307
01:05:10,400 --> 01:05:12,600
Speaker 1: one on one, he sees no help. Finally and he

1308
01:05:12,720 --> 01:05:18,120
Speaker 1: takes a shot. Rob Gronkowski from Tom Brady thirty nine

1309
01:05:18,240 --> 01:05:22,840
Speaker 1: yards down the right sideline set up the New England

1310
01:05:22,880 --> 01:05:25,640
Speaker 1: Patriots for the chip shot. Game winning field goal from

1311
01:05:26,240 --> 01:05:29,520
Speaker 1: UH Stephen Gastowski twenty eight yards was good right down

1312
01:05:29,560 --> 01:05:33,200
Speaker 1: the middle. Forty three to forty final New England Patriots

1313
01:05:33,240 --> 01:05:37,439
Speaker 1: prevail over the Kansas City Chiefs UH in a game

1314
01:05:37,520 --> 01:05:43,400
Speaker 1: that undoubtedly led to a midfield meeting for Andy Reid

1315
01:05:43,880 --> 01:05:46,280
Speaker 1: and Bill Belichick in which one set to the other

1316
01:05:46,680 --> 01:05:50,680
Speaker 1: hull see you in January. You think you think either

1317
01:05:50,720 --> 01:05:53,240
Speaker 1: one of those two would be that presumptuous. I don't know.

1318
01:05:53,320 --> 01:05:55,760
Speaker 1: I just feel like that's something that somebody said somewhere

1319
01:05:55,800 --> 01:05:59,200
Speaker 1: on that field. UH. An amazing back and forth shootout.

1320
01:05:59,240 --> 01:06:01,480
Speaker 1: If you love offense, this was the game for you.

1321
01:06:02,400 --> 01:06:05,560
Speaker 1: A game in which, after a slow start for the

1322
01:06:05,640 --> 01:06:08,760
Speaker 1: Chiefs offense, UH, we're settling for field goals in the

1323
01:06:08,800 --> 01:06:11,680
Speaker 1: first half they went off in the second half, Tyreek

1324
01:06:11,760 --> 01:06:15,160
Speaker 1: Hill and Patrick Mahomes combined for three touchdowns, including a

1325
01:06:15,240 --> 01:06:17,560
Speaker 1: seventy five yard or that tied the game late in

1326
01:06:17,600 --> 01:06:20,959
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. But as he's done all throughout his career,

1327
01:06:21,040 --> 01:06:25,160
Speaker 1: Greg Rosenthal uh Tom Brady answered the call. This man

1328
01:06:25,680 --> 01:06:28,680
Speaker 1: eighteen years or whatever. His junior pushed him to the limit.

1329
01:06:28,760 --> 01:06:32,280
Speaker 1: But Tolmy made the plays. He did a beautiful throw

1330
01:06:32,360 --> 01:06:35,600
Speaker 1: to Rob Gronkowski that we heard the second play from

1331
01:06:35,840 --> 01:06:38,680
Speaker 1: Gronk at the end of the game that comes to mind.

1332
01:06:38,800 --> 01:06:41,320
Speaker 1: Who was Gronk was quiet the whole time the whole game?

1333
01:06:41,440 --> 01:06:47,520
Speaker 1: Three catches yards also could pieces this week after Patriots

1334
01:06:47,560 --> 01:06:51,080
Speaker 1: Patriots loss. Is Gronk done so close and yet it

1335
01:06:51,120 --> 01:06:53,120
Speaker 1: won't happen? I mean, he's not the same in the

1336
01:06:53,200 --> 01:06:56,480
Speaker 1: open field, but that matchup when he's one on one

1337
01:06:56,520 --> 01:07:01,120
Speaker 1: against a safety east even on the winning lay, they

1338
01:07:01,160 --> 01:07:03,640
Speaker 1: were holding him and then he breaks free uses the

1339
01:07:03,720 --> 01:07:06,320
Speaker 1: strength and one play that stands out to me, though

1340
01:07:06,360 --> 01:07:08,680
Speaker 1: earlier in that drive, is Sony Michelle picking up a

1341
01:07:08,840 --> 01:07:11,120
Speaker 1: third and one through trash, which I think has been

1342
01:07:11,120 --> 01:07:14,120
Speaker 1: a huge development for this Patriots team all season. Short

1343
01:07:14,200 --> 01:07:16,160
Speaker 1: yardage plays were big in this game. They had a

1344
01:07:16,280 --> 01:07:18,480
Speaker 1: number of third and shorts where they were able to

1345
01:07:18,560 --> 01:07:20,080
Speaker 1: pick it up. That's a play they might not have

1346
01:07:20,160 --> 01:07:21,800
Speaker 1: picked up a year ago, and they did to keep

1347
01:07:21,840 --> 01:07:25,240
Speaker 1: that drive going. Gronk was quiet for three quarters. Chris

1348
01:07:25,320 --> 01:07:28,160
Speaker 1: Hogan was quiet for five games. Came up big on

1349
01:07:28,240 --> 01:07:30,400
Speaker 1: that third and one play deep down the field, and

1350
01:07:30,480 --> 01:07:32,960
Speaker 1: then later on the same drive set up the score.

1351
01:07:33,080 --> 01:07:35,440
Speaker 1: So Hogan finally showed up this year. I like it.

1352
01:07:36,160 --> 01:07:37,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess you can come out of this sneaky,

1353
01:07:38,200 --> 01:07:41,200
Speaker 1: sneaky shot at Hogan settling score. So that that was

1354
01:07:41,280 --> 01:07:43,560
Speaker 1: a whole baked in West narrative there, and then a

1355
01:07:43,600 --> 01:07:45,840
Speaker 1: little bit of Houses did come up big with the

1356
01:07:45,880 --> 01:07:50,760
Speaker 1: game on the line. That's awesome. I'm not concerned. I

1357
01:07:50,840 --> 01:07:53,480
Speaker 1: come out of this like completely encouraged by the Kansas

1358
01:07:53,520 --> 01:07:58,800
Speaker 1: City Chiefs defense. Obviously the consistently lingering issues with their defense,

1359
01:07:58,880 --> 01:08:01,439
Speaker 1: but I have no problem with the way they dealt

1360
01:08:01,520 --> 01:08:05,360
Speaker 1: with this game. And who comes into Foxboro and puts

1361
01:08:05,440 --> 01:08:07,680
Speaker 1: up forty points like this, and with the they can

1362
01:08:07,760 --> 01:08:10,880
Speaker 1: score points and bunches so quickly, and they had the

1363
01:08:10,920 --> 01:08:14,680
Speaker 1: Patriots on the ropes till the very end here. But

1364
01:08:14,840 --> 01:08:17,000
Speaker 1: that's the issue. But they're not. They're not gonna play

1365
01:08:17,080 --> 01:08:19,920
Speaker 1: this offense every week. Yeah, but I think the Patriots

1366
01:08:20,000 --> 01:08:22,599
Speaker 1: defense showed what the trouble is. You cannot take away

1367
01:08:22,680 --> 01:08:25,760
Speaker 1: Kelsey and Tyreek Hill. Pick your poison one or the other. Right,

1368
01:08:25,840 --> 01:08:27,960
Speaker 1: the Patriots defense played well for a half. You know,

1369
01:08:28,040 --> 01:08:30,680
Speaker 1: they played good situational football, but they didn't force any

1370
01:08:30,760 --> 01:08:34,920
Speaker 1: punts until five minutes left in the game. And I

1371
01:08:35,200 --> 01:08:37,520
Speaker 1: I welcome it like this is I know you're uncomfortable

1372
01:08:37,560 --> 01:08:40,400
Speaker 1: with the damn this like offense led league sort of

1373
01:08:40,439 --> 01:08:42,120
Speaker 1: we're in right now. These are the two teams that

1374
01:08:42,200 --> 01:08:45,360
Speaker 1: have probably adopted like a game with no defense is

1375
01:08:45,400 --> 01:08:47,960
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. It's not your favorite style of football. No, No,

1376
01:08:48,160 --> 01:08:50,600
Speaker 1: I don't love games that are punts, right, you know,

1377
01:08:50,720 --> 01:08:53,559
Speaker 1: And and a lot of people agree with you, guys. Right.

1378
01:08:53,600 --> 01:08:55,560
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people feel that way. And

1379
01:08:55,640 --> 01:08:58,280
Speaker 1: these are the two teams that I think have adopted

1380
01:08:58,840 --> 01:09:01,160
Speaker 1: some of the college cons epps and the and the

1381
01:09:01,520 --> 01:09:04,800
Speaker 1: offense offense offense spread approach more than any And I

1382
01:09:04,840 --> 01:09:07,320
Speaker 1: think there's gonna just be more games like this where

1383
01:09:07,360 --> 01:09:10,080
Speaker 1: it comes down to making like one defensive play like

1384
01:09:10,200 --> 01:09:12,360
Speaker 1: the Patriots did when it was cover zero and they

1385
01:09:12,400 --> 01:09:15,120
Speaker 1: went all out to get that one punt. The Chiefs

1386
01:09:15,200 --> 01:09:17,840
Speaker 1: fall from the ranks of the unbeaten. It is just

1387
01:09:18,000 --> 01:09:21,040
Speaker 1: the Los Angeles Rams left now in that club. And

1388
01:09:21,479 --> 01:09:24,960
Speaker 1: more importantly, uh, the Patriots now have the head to

1389
01:09:25,000 --> 01:09:27,040
Speaker 1: head tiebreaker on the Chiefs. So you gotta track all

1390
01:09:27,120 --> 01:09:30,519
Speaker 1: this stuff. The Patriots year after year after year after

1391
01:09:30,640 --> 01:09:32,519
Speaker 1: year get a first round by because they seem to

1392
01:09:32,560 --> 01:09:35,800
Speaker 1: win these games, and they put themselves in position. If

1393
01:09:35,840 --> 01:09:38,880
Speaker 1: it gets down to a situation where these teams finished

1394
01:09:38,920 --> 01:09:41,160
Speaker 1: with the identical record, it would be New England that

1395
01:09:41,240 --> 01:09:43,200
Speaker 1: has the BIS. So keep an eye on that. The

1396
01:09:43,280 --> 01:09:45,639
Speaker 1: Chiefs I think are fine. They went toe to toe,

1397
01:09:46,000 --> 01:09:48,360
Speaker 1: but I really do think and who knows, there's a

1398
01:09:48,400 --> 01:09:51,240
Speaker 1: report out there. Uh, you know, it depends how much

1399
01:09:51,280 --> 01:09:54,479
Speaker 1: you trust this particular insider. But Patrick Peterson could be

1400
01:09:54,560 --> 01:09:58,080
Speaker 1: on the block in Arizona, although Steve Wilkes apparently shot

1401
01:09:58,160 --> 01:10:01,920
Speaker 1: that down vociferously. But I would be very aggressive on

1402
01:10:02,000 --> 01:10:03,519
Speaker 1: the market if I was the Chiefs because I do

1403
01:10:03,640 --> 01:10:06,240
Speaker 1: feel like maybe you're one defensive impact player away from

1404
01:10:06,240 --> 01:10:08,200
Speaker 1: going to the Super Bowl, and I worried that this

1405
01:10:08,320 --> 01:10:10,439
Speaker 1: defense is going to keep them from playing in Atlanta

1406
01:10:10,479 --> 01:10:13,760
Speaker 1: in February are the Patriots on defense in a much

1407
01:10:13,840 --> 01:10:16,160
Speaker 1: better position overall that can't rush the past, so they

1408
01:10:16,160 --> 01:10:19,080
Speaker 1: could not get to Patrick Mahomes on any level. This

1409
01:10:19,200 --> 01:10:21,680
Speaker 1: game just played out the way that you would want

1410
01:10:21,720 --> 01:10:25,080
Speaker 1: two of the most intriguing offenses in the NFL to operate.

1411
01:10:25,200 --> 01:10:28,240
Speaker 1: It was a lot like the Super Bowl. Fifty total yards,

1412
01:10:28,320 --> 01:10:30,880
Speaker 1: eighty three points back and forth could have gone to

1413
01:10:30,920 --> 01:10:33,759
Speaker 1: either team. Right Mark called it the minute it happened.

1414
01:10:33,920 --> 01:10:37,120
Speaker 1: When the Chiefs scored on their twelve second touchdown drive

1415
01:10:37,600 --> 01:10:41,120
Speaker 1: to Tyreek Hill, that that just timing wise, that was

1416
01:10:41,200 --> 01:10:43,519
Speaker 1: sort of the best, the best way the Patriots could

1417
01:10:43,520 --> 01:10:46,080
Speaker 1: give up that touchdown, and the odds were saying the

1418
01:10:46,120 --> 01:10:48,560
Speaker 1: Patriots probably we're going to give up a touchdown on

1419
01:10:48,680 --> 01:10:51,559
Speaker 1: that drive. So they had three minutes and ten seconds

1420
01:10:51,640 --> 01:10:54,320
Speaker 1: to work it, and you would take Tom Brady's chances

1421
01:10:54,800 --> 01:10:58,559
Speaker 1: in that scenario every time. So thirty eight and forty three,

1422
01:10:58,680 --> 01:11:02,080
Speaker 1: that's the Patriots scoring in their last three games. That's

1423
01:11:02,080 --> 01:11:04,799
Speaker 1: the crazy thing is that they offer did any offensive

1424
01:11:04,840 --> 01:11:07,240
Speaker 1: worries from earlier in the season. Seemed to be a

1425
01:11:07,320 --> 01:11:10,679
Speaker 1: long time ago right for New England, which is essentially

1426
01:11:10,720 --> 01:11:13,280
Speaker 1: how we always feel. By about October eighteen, I don't

1427
01:11:13,280 --> 01:11:15,760
Speaker 1: think anybody bought into the Patriots are in trouble on

1428
01:11:15,840 --> 01:11:19,720
Speaker 1: offense narrative. They don't look explosive. I know, they just

1429
01:11:19,720 --> 01:11:22,240
Speaker 1: scored forty three points and racked up five hundred yards,

1430
01:11:22,320 --> 01:11:24,200
Speaker 1: but that was against the Chiefs defense, which gives up

1431
01:11:24,200 --> 01:11:26,880
Speaker 1: almost five hundred yards every game. But to me, they're

1432
01:11:26,880 --> 01:11:30,599
Speaker 1: still like reliant on Sony Michelle and James White still

1433
01:11:30,640 --> 01:11:33,320
Speaker 1: scored four thirty plus and four of six games this

1434
01:11:33,439 --> 01:11:36,439
Speaker 1: year in the first half for three games. You know,

1435
01:11:36,479 --> 01:11:38,320
Speaker 1: a month ago, you didn't have Edellyn, you didn't have

1436
01:11:38,439 --> 01:11:40,240
Speaker 1: Josh Gordon, and I think both of those players are still,

1437
01:11:40,680 --> 01:11:43,880
Speaker 1: you know, rounding into shape in this offense. One last

1438
01:11:43,960 --> 01:11:48,880
Speaker 1: note from the Chief's defense side speaks. The rookie Chris

1439
01:11:48,960 --> 01:11:51,000
Speaker 1: Collins made a big deal of this. Uh the the

1440
01:11:51,520 --> 01:11:54,960
Speaker 1: scramble for the touchdown Brady's final touchdown of the game,

1441
01:11:55,800 --> 01:11:58,400
Speaker 1: UH speaks seemed to have him wrapped up for a

1442
01:11:58,479 --> 01:12:01,000
Speaker 1: sack and then let up on him, which allowed Brady

1443
01:12:01,080 --> 01:12:04,640
Speaker 1: to kind of sidestep in slow motion into daylight and

1444
01:12:04,720 --> 01:12:07,560
Speaker 1: then get into the end zone. I'd be interested to

1445
01:12:07,640 --> 01:12:09,479
Speaker 1: hear after the game. We're not gonna hear it, but

1446
01:12:09,560 --> 01:12:11,280
Speaker 1: you'll know by the time you listen to this, probably

1447
01:12:11,520 --> 01:12:14,479
Speaker 1: whether speak says that he did that because he didn't

1448
01:12:14,479 --> 01:12:17,000
Speaker 1: want to get a penalty, which would be a bummer,

1449
01:12:17,080 --> 01:12:19,439
Speaker 1: But he did seem to ease up on Brady wanting

1450
01:12:19,439 --> 01:12:21,080
Speaker 1: a chance to have a huge seck that would make

1451
01:12:21,120 --> 01:12:23,679
Speaker 1: it would have made it fourth down, and I believe

1452
01:12:23,760 --> 01:12:25,960
Speaker 1: that what was the situation at that point would have

1453
01:12:26,000 --> 01:12:29,880
Speaker 1: been kicking for a tie field. Are we letting defenders

1454
01:12:29,920 --> 01:12:32,160
Speaker 1: off the hook for this? To me, that's not acceptable

1455
01:12:33,000 --> 01:12:36,000
Speaker 1: down right, And honestly watching it, I think he was

1456
01:12:36,160 --> 01:12:38,360
Speaker 1: just a big guy that was moving too fast and

1457
01:12:38,439 --> 01:12:40,599
Speaker 1: felt That's what I'm saying. I think it was more clumps.

1458
01:12:40,640 --> 01:12:42,360
Speaker 1: I was a little surprised the cons which were so

1459
01:12:42,439 --> 01:12:44,880
Speaker 1: strong on it. I want to hear from the player,

1460
01:12:45,640 --> 01:12:47,600
Speaker 1: but you couldn't see it that way, and I'd be

1461
01:12:47,640 --> 01:12:50,200
Speaker 1: interesting to see what happens. But there you go, big game,

1462
01:12:50,280 --> 01:12:51,880
Speaker 1: bro that that's gonna be one of the better prime

1463
01:12:51,960 --> 01:12:54,920
Speaker 1: time games we see this season. And yes, like maybe

1464
01:12:55,000 --> 01:13:01,240
Speaker 1: happened in midfield. You know, somebody probably said see in January,

1465
01:13:02,760 --> 01:13:04,760
Speaker 1: a lot of there's a lot of tempts in the

1466
01:13:04,920 --> 01:13:07,160
Speaker 1: room during that whole game. I mean, it was it

1467
01:13:07,280 --> 01:13:11,679
Speaker 1: was fiery in this room. Yeah right, just two rooting

1468
01:13:11,720 --> 01:13:14,640
Speaker 1: for the Patriots. Two people block it up, not too

1469
01:13:14,720 --> 01:13:19,960
Speaker 1: much Wes five and oh now, congratulations, thank you. That

1470
01:13:20,120 --> 01:13:23,360
Speaker 1: was a nail biter. Who who thinks you're gonna lose?

1471
01:13:23,400 --> 01:13:24,960
Speaker 1: I don't. I think you're going straight through the show.

1472
01:13:25,040 --> 01:13:28,519
Speaker 1: I do not think I'm gonna go undefeated. Uh. We

1473

1480
