00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 1: There's a wolf. Can't blow out. Don't swear, don't so long,

18
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:37,440

19
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:46,119
Speaker 1: don't don't do it. Don't it Colleen Wolf Welcome back

20
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 1: to Me Around the NFL podcast. Hell, whoa, I'm back

21
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 1: better than ever? What is up? As always your your intro.

22
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 1: Hello is a seventy eight year old woman at Bingo

23
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 1: Night Atlantic City. It's the character I feel most comfortable in.

24
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 1: It's just funny, like I feel like a couple of

25
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 1: the other songs. The one song that we did not

26
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 1: choose is the Colleen Anthem, where it's sort of an

27
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: awkward woman playing puzzles and staring at plants like I'm sorry.

28
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 1: But I always thought that was a little bit more

29
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 1: at the Colleen vibe than the excellent UM but rather

30
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 1: rough and tumble song we've just heard. The other one's

31
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 1: a little too on the nose. I think it's a

32
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 1: little too perfect. Contains mult she contains multitude, She's she's

33
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:36,640
Speaker 1: a little gangster. You know, I'm a very layered person. Yes, Colleen,

34
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 1: you are obviously such a busy and successful woman. And

35
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 1: if you are not aware, you are if you're listening

36
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 1: to the show, because she's the host of Thursday Night

37

00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 1: in your binder all week already getting ready for the

53
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 1: big A f C showdown this weekend. We are going

54
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 1: to now with two weeks, two games in the books

55
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 1: for every team in the league, we look around the landscape.

56
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: We're going to deliver some pep talks to those of

57
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 1: to those in need. Mark and I know this is

58
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 1: one of those certain assignments on this podcast. I feel

59
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 1: like Mark will embrace and really truly uh connect with,

60
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 1: So I'm really looking forward to finding out who you

61
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 1: plan to speak with and send your message to. Well,

62
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I could use a pep talk myself on

63
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 1: what to do with the two children that are in

64
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 1: my house twenty four hours a day without ceasing. But um, yeah,

65
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: I've got a few prepared for various NFL characters that

66
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,359
Speaker 1: I think I need a little kick in the buttocks

67
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,839
Speaker 1: Dan in the old buttocks. Uh. Sizzler and I were

68
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 1: privately texting before the show about you know, which one

69
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,359
Speaker 1: of us will end up divorced because of COVID nineteen,

70
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 1: this meteor strike on the family structure, which is twisting

71
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 1: everyone into a pretzel. It's certainly not healthy. But you know,

72
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 1: so so far through what like nine percent of the season,

73
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:47,159
Speaker 1: six percent of the season still standing. That's that's as

74
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,479
Speaker 1: much as we can say. I mean, it's not it's

75
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 1: hard not to dream of like quiet rooms off in

76
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: the distance somewhere with just like sunlight through a window

77
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 1: in a bookshelf. But um, you know that's that's about

78
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 1: sixteen years from now or it's greg. Yeah, all right,

79
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 1: so we're gonna do that. But before we give out

80
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:09,719
Speaker 1: our pep talks, let's talk about a little Monday Night football.

81
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 1: Third down ten shotgun snap, the car pitches out the

82
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:15,159
Speaker 1: Rechard got a block from the guard at twenty on

83
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: the nurse and kind of block at the fifteen ten

84
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 1: the five broke a tackle down the sideline, touchdown Raiders.

85
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 1: What a run by Richard? Whoa what a play? Twenty

86
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:30,239
Speaker 1: yard kallip where plucks were made and tackles were broken

87
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 1: and he rides right into the end zone first six

88
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:44,159
Speaker 1: for the Raiders. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, Monday Night is

89
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 1: the best kind of day. That bar, Yeah yeah yeah,

90
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 1: that raid us own Monday Night. My neighbor rich who

91
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,479
Speaker 1: unfortunately can hear everything I say on the show. Um,

92
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,599
Speaker 1: right before we started, came right up to the window

93
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 1: where I have my set up here and taped it

94
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,799
Speaker 1: on a piece of paper in black Magic, Margaret Raida's

95
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 1: own Monday Night Raiders box store. And they certainly did.

96
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 1: They own. The Saints at the Depth Star in Vegas,

97
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:17,359
Speaker 1: the debut for that fine stadium thirty four to twenty four.

98
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,160
Speaker 1: You heard Jalen Rochard and Kevin Harland with a call

99
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 1: for Westwood one. Derek Carr thirty eight three touchdowns, no interceptions,

100
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 1: easily out playing Drew Brees, who once again is going

101
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 1: to be the subject of much conversation. You feel like

102
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 1: ahead of the Saints next game against the Packers, Colleen,

103
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:38,599
Speaker 1: the Raiders are not a team a lot of people

104
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:42,840
Speaker 1: picked to be a big difference maker in twenty But

105
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 1: so far, so good too, and oh right now, they've

106
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 1: been looking good. I mean when this game first started,

107
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 1: I definitely did not think that this was going to

108
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 1: go the Raiders way. At the end of the first quarter,

109
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:57,360
Speaker 1: the Raiders had fifteen passing yards, they took three sacks

110
00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:59,679
Speaker 1: for a loss of twenty three. Things just didn't seem

111
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 1: to be going their way at all. And then all

112
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 1: of a sudden, Derek Carr just started to heat up.

113
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:06,600
Speaker 1: And the way that he was able to spread the

114
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 1: ball around to eleven different paths catchers, Darren Waller looked

115
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 1: so good in this game. I mean, this was the

116
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 1: Darren Waller Show. I mean, twelve catches, a hundred and

117
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 1: three yards, a touchdown. He was an absolute nightmare for

118
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 1: the Saints defense. And we even had a z A

119
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 1: Jones spotting, which hey, I was here for that, because

120
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 1: like that's really when the momentum really started to shift

121
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 1: in that game, Z Jones shout out, you're right. They're

122
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 1: getting contributions from a lot of guys. Nelson Agilars made

123
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 1: key plays for them in back to back weeks. And

124
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 1: I watched this team and I think this is Gruden's vision.

125
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 1: He he is loving this. If nothing else, he has

126
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 1: a way of running an offense that's very different than

127
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 1: the rest of the NFL. It's very heavy, it's very

128
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 1: slow moving. It's long drives, it's forty five tight ends,

129
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 1: including Jason Witten, it's fullbacks. And in back to back

130
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 1: weeks against these defenses who have kind of built themselves,

131
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 1: the Saints included to stop the pass. They've got five

132
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 1: or six defensive backs. They have worn out defenses by

133
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 1: the end of these two games. And when they were

134
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 1: at their best last year, that that's the kind of

135
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 1: offense they were playing there. They are a very good

136
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 1: offensive team with a good offensive line. If they get

137
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:23,239
Speaker 1: their defense together at some point, then you start thinking

138
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 1: about them as even a little more dangerous. Well, I

139
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 1: don't think their defense would be the same if Jonathan

140
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 1: Abram misses any time. One thing about the Raiders its

141
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,680
Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs two weeks in a row. Is that guy,

142
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 1: and I just think that he is like a John

143
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 1: Gruden dream. I get why John Gruden pointed out the

144
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 1: Walter Peyton comparison. It's not that they look the same

145
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 1: on the field, but then at the end of the game,

146
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 1: when you see Josh Jacobs strutting up the sideline with

147
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:49,839
Speaker 1: that smile on his face, I mean, he just wants

148
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 1: to be part of every play. I think he's completely

149
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:55,559
Speaker 1: changed as a pass catcher. And they looked really dangerous

150
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 1: down the stretch. I I was a little annoyed at

151
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,200
Speaker 1: the Raiders out of the gate when they differ and

152
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,840
Speaker 1: allowed the Saints to get the ball first, because like,

153
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 1: you can't open your stadium with Drew Brees potentially marching

154
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 1: down the field and having the first trivia question ever

155
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 1: about that stadium being that, like you know, Alvin Kamara

156
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 1: scored the first touchdown instead it was Will Lutz. That

157
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 1: was a little thing that annoyed me with the Raiders, man,

158
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 1: you could feel them at the middle like that when

159
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:21,079
Speaker 1: they picked off Breeze. We get into Breeze in a

160
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 1: second in and Drew Brees like interception. You could feel

161
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:27,559
Speaker 1: that game turning. And the Raiders are one of these

162
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,200
Speaker 1: teams that if they can continue to get performances like that,

163
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 1: they are right in the mix for the six or

164
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 1: seventh playoff spot. I released the latest Power rankings this

165
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 1: morning had the Raiders at fifteen, which means I don't

166
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 1: really know what to do with them. I don't. I

167
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 1: don't know if I see them as really a top

168
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 1: team in the a f C. I don't think so.

169
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 1: But I also they're frisky and they're a team that

170
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 1: seems to be coming together. I liked it you said,

171
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:52,680
Speaker 1: Greg about their offense, how it just feels different. You

172
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:56,319
Speaker 1: kept especially early on, there was an especially bad series

173
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 1: where car was holding the ball too long, He missed

174
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:00,960
Speaker 1: the he missed the receiver down field, he took a

175
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:02,839
Speaker 1: couple of coverage sacks, and it was just like, ah, well,

176
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 1: they just make something a little bit more exciting. But

177
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 1: then you look up and they have thirty four points

178
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 1: and score on six of their final seven possessions, and

179
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:15,440
Speaker 1: Darren Waller man, I mean, here's we don't And I

180
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 1: include myself in this, even though you may not believe it.

181
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 1: I don't respect anyone's opinion more than Bill Belichick when

182
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 1: it comes to assessing talent in our league, and he

183
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 1: said this today during his availability. It's been a long

184
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 1: time since we've seen a guy like this, and I

185
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 1: would assume he's referring to Darren Waller's insane athleticism. Uh,

186
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 1: speed that no linebacker can cover, no safety can cover.

187
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 1: And to me, he jumped out as the guy. He's

188
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 1: not Antonio Brown. They're different players, different positions. But what

189
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:51,200
Speaker 1: John Gruden and Mike Mayock wanted from Antonio Brown, which

190
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 1: is skuy. That's a night nightmare matchup that dictates how

191
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 1: the defense has to play and get them out of

192
00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 1: their comfort zone. That's what he did to the Saints

193
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:05,560
Speaker 1: on Monday night. Hm. He uh, he's just faster Waller.

194
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:08,200
Speaker 1: Is that than like the competition and they need speed.

195
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 1: I mean they have speed, that's what they're just. They're

196
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 1: just coming together because we really haven't seen Henry Ruggs

197
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 1: do his thing. Brian. You know, Brian Edwards made a

198
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:19,720
Speaker 1: few plays. He he forced a penalty last night. Um,

199
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 1: but there are pieces there. I do think this is

200
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 1: a top ten offense. I I thought so coming into

201
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,320
Speaker 1: the year. I think it's gonna be that way. You know,

202
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 1: car can can make even pretty um laid back guys

203
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 1: go a little crazy. I was listening to the Westwood

204
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:36,680
Speaker 1: One called By the Way, Kurt Warner and Kevin Harland.

205
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 1: I mean, there's a lot of great TV crews, but

206
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 1: I think that's the number one game crew in the

207
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:43,960
Speaker 1: business right now. They just happened to be They just

208
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 1: happened to be on the radio. They're so good. And

209
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 1: Warner was going crazy of the thrower's cars weren't making.

210
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:51,200
Speaker 1: Car wasn't making. But by the end of the game

211
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:53,320
Speaker 1: he was like, you know what, I'm I'm pretty caught

212
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 1: hard on Derek Carr. And you know, Derek Carr would

213
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,200
Speaker 1: certainly have blocked Kurt Warner if he was listening to

214
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 1: on the radio. But he's like, you got to admit,

215
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 1: you know, by the end of the game, you look

216
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 1: at what they've done, and that's the offense that Grudden

217
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:07,439
Speaker 1: wants to run. It's not that different than the offense

218
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 1: the old Raiders and the Buccaneers used to run. Too.

219
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 1: It's not super entertaining all the time, but right now,

220
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:17,679
Speaker 1: and especially in today's NFL, I think it's I think

221
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,200
Speaker 1: it's tough to prepare for them because they are so

222
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 1: different and they are so physical compared to other teams

223
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 1: in the Saints defense. I was big on this secondary,

224
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 1: big on this defense, and they pretty much got wiped off. Collee,

225
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 1: and I want to tee you up on this. The

226
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 1: Saints have a lot to clean up over a hundred

227
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 1: yards and penalties for the second straight week. But you've

228
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 1: got a feeling Sean Payton, the talent there, the track record,

229
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 1: they'll they'll get on a on the same page eventually.

230
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 1: Do you think it's time to sound the alarms on

231
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 1: Drew Brees who was uncharacteristically erratic with his accuracy yesterday

232
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 1: on top of the week one game where you couldn't

233
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:55,080
Speaker 1: really move the ball. It's definitely too bad back to

234
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 1: back weeks for Drew Brees. But I think this week

235
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 1: them not having Michael Thomas out there, I mean Alvin Camara.

236
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:04,560
Speaker 1: He still looked good, but obviously they need more than

237
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 1: just him. It can't just be the Alvin Camara show

238
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 1: out there. So Drew Brees, I think, yeah, you have

239
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 1: to be a little concerned at this point that we're

240
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:16,199
Speaker 1: not seeing what we should be seeing out of him,

241
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 1: because it was like Derek Carr put up the numbers

242
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:21,719
Speaker 1: that Drew Brees should have last night. I mean, it's

243
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:23,960
Speaker 1: another game where you know, you look at Breeze, his

244
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:27,679
Speaker 1: average depth of target is just over five yards. The

245
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 1: vast majority and this was obviously true with Michael Thomas,

246
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 1: to the vast majority of yardage that he's gaining is

247
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 1: coming after the catch. It's a different type of quarterback

248
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:38,679
Speaker 1: that they have to play around, you know, like Luke

249
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 1: are my son. It became a Saints fan a year ago,

250
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 1: and my concern was like, well, you kind of jumped

251
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:46,560
Speaker 1: on this one a little late in the game. Had

252
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:49,079
Speaker 1: you been born earlier, that might have been more profitable

253
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:51,319
Speaker 1: for you. But he asked last night, like, why is

254
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 1: Drew Brees look so sad? And I thought, like, on

255
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 1: a micro right, Like on a micro level, it's because

256
00:13:57,760 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 1: you're losing to the Raiders on Monday Night football and

257
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 1: you're frustrated, But like on a macro level, like there

258
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:05,560
Speaker 1: was something in the eyes of Breeze that kind of

259
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:07,560
Speaker 1: threw me down the stretch, Like you can kind of

260
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:09,960
Speaker 1: get in the eyes. Well, you've seen this with Peyton

261
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,200
Speaker 1: Manning to like in that last year, and you know,

262
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:14,560
Speaker 1: first of all, small sample size, let's see what happens

263
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 1: with Drew Brees. But they are concerning distressing signals out there,

264
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 1: we're seeing it on the field. And I thought that

265
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 1: there was a look in the eyes of Drew Brees

266
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 1: last night that's sort of new. Something's changed here. Um,

267
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 1: it's not the end, but something's changed. And he maybe

268
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 1: shares a little bit of the concern that we share

269
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 1: because he thought you did, and he was just by

270
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 1: looking at his face. It makes me think about retirement.

271
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 1: Remember he almost considered retirement. And players always say like,

272
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 1: once you think about it, you're already You're already there.

273
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 1: What did you see, Colleen last night? No, I just

274
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 1: the same thing that Sessler did. There was one shot

275
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 1: in particular of Drew Brees's face that he just you

276
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 1: could see it was written all over his face. It

277
00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 1: was just pure dejection. I guess like he looked so

278
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:04,960
Speaker 1: sad in the moment. Time for that Viking funeral. Just

279
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 1: put him on the wooden raft now and push him

280
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 1: out into the Gulf of Mexico. Start firing those arrows

281
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 1: that they've got. They've got Jamis Winston sitting there. I

282
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 1: love I love Patrick's tweet where he said, we're like

283
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 1: four weeks away from breeze coming down with a mysterious

284
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 1: injury and Winston getting a little bit of a test drive.

285
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 1: I think something, I mean, listen, that would be wild

286
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 1: and I think our boy Dad boy Wolf the number

287
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 1: one Saints van on Twitter, uh pointed out that Winston

288
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 1: had a killer training camp, and and you know we

289
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 1: also have, of course Taysom Taysom Hill, the twenty one

290
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 1: million dollar man who really has not been involved with

291
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 1: the offense too much through two weeks. Sean Payton is

292
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 1: a guy that is if if they continue to struggle,

293
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 1: you imagine it's gonna be hard for him not to

294
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 1: think about mixing things up or perhaps making a big change.

295
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 1: But it still thinks it still feels a little premature,

296
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 1: especially with Michael Thomas out. Emmanuel Sanders had had a

297
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 1: bad game yesterday. He's aviously not take wine. Smith is

298
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 1: their number one receiver a little um, so, a lot

299
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 1: of the States have a lot of work to do,

300
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:13,120
Speaker 1: both in strategy and play and discipline. Uh. And now

301
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 1: they got the Packers, so that's gonna be a game

302
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 1: to look forward to. Colleen, Wait, quick question, um, what

303
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 1: were your thoughts on the yellow ABC sports jackets that

304
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 1: the guys in the booth were wearing because I love

305
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 1: them and I think that a ten guys should have

306
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 1: their own version of it. Well. I like the second

307
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 1: part of that a lot. I know, I like it.

308
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 1: The The podcast budget for NFL media is surprisingly uh small,

309
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 1: so I don't think they're gonna really shell out for

310
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 1: for jackets. But maybe we could do a dumpster, you know.

311
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 1: I like. I like the thought. I like the thought,

312
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 1: and I did like overall Monday Night Football. I thought,

313
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 1: I really do like Brian Greasy. I know, Greg, you

314
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 1: had some issues with their their late game calls because

315
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 1: you're great on a curve with that stuff, but I

316
00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 1: thought Greasy did a nice job. Lewis Riddick. They gotta

317
00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 1: turn of his mic or something. I don't know. I

318
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 1: think he just needs to he needs to turn up

319
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 1: his fire. We've seen it on Twitter, and I think

320
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 1: that literally it is fair to expect reps. I I

321
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 1: liked the booth um in week two. I will say

322
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 1: one thing, I don't need Brian Greasy telling me over

323
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 1: and over like you've got to respect this player. You've

324
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 1: got to respect the way that he handles. Like that

325
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 1: part of it, I will decide that he didn't use

326
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 1: similar language when you confronted him at a bar in

327
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:31,119
Speaker 1: Denver when he was boozy at age three and the

328
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 1: future the slate, I've wiped that off the slate. We

329
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:37,720
Speaker 1: had an encounter that I honestly did to I d Ducks.

330
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 1: No points from him at this point, I can have

331
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 1: points to my slate. No. No, like I am with

332
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:45,720
Speaker 1: Dan that I think that he at least greasy is

333
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:48,919
Speaker 1: kind of he is working hard to fit with Levy

334
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,479
Speaker 1: and working hard to you know, they've worked together, they

335
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:56,640
Speaker 1: have chemistry, they did college together. I think it was Yeah,

336
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:58,399
Speaker 1: the game management side was just they were They were

337
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:01,920
Speaker 1: surprised by the whole decision to um kick the field

338
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 1: goal at the end, but they didn't even discuss it

339
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:06,880
Speaker 1: until Carlson was like kicking it that. That's one where

340
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:09,440
Speaker 1: it's just in theory, it's reps. But you know, Tony

341
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:11,920
Speaker 1: Romo was talking about whether that's happening or not three

342
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:14,920
Speaker 1: plays before getting from getting ready, you know, talking about

343
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:16,880
Speaker 1: the strategy. What do you guys think about the Death Star?

344
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:18,879
Speaker 1: Though I thought it was fat like, there was a

345
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 1: couple of fascinating things about it, but one of them

346
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:23,320
Speaker 1: was that Mark Davis is refusing to go to the

347
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:26,720
Speaker 1: games and because fans aren't allowed, like in solidarity with

348
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 1: the like that's a basic. Meanwhile, his mom is there

349
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 1: lighting the torch for his dad in the stadium. That's

350
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 1: like the culmination of Raiders history. They've never been able

351
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:40,440
Speaker 1: to build their own stadium in the history of the team,

352
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:42,359
Speaker 1: and here they are. But he's like, no, I'm not

353
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:44,359
Speaker 1: going I'm one of the fans and this is b s.

354
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 1: I don't know. I kind of like it. Well, also,

355
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 1: he's he could he could have a smattering of fans

356
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 1: in there. They opened the bars up in Las Vegas

357
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:55,680
Speaker 1: at midnight the night before. I mean, they want there

358
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:58,240
Speaker 1: to be an environment. But Mark Davis, I think, because

359
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 1: you know, you can't. He can't top Al Davis in

360
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 1: any category, any category at all, So why not be

361
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 1: I'm the dude that is so linked with this fan

362
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 1: base that I'm not going to allow any fans in

363
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:11,679
Speaker 1: here because I'm not gonna pick the better of you

364
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 1: or the the East or West Coast elite crew of

365
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:17,080
Speaker 1: the Raiders. You're gonna come in as a group next year,

366
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna come in with you. I mean, it's

367
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 1: a bit a bit of posting, but I kind of

368
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 1: like this is one of one. There is no other

369
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 1: owner remotely like him. And give Mark Davis this when

370
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 1: he took over the Reins, and I remember a particularly

371
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:35,359
Speaker 1: stinging column by Mike Silver, our own Mike Silver, who's

372
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:38,959
Speaker 1: now with Yeah with was then with Yahoo. Uh. That

373
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:40,920
Speaker 1: made Mark Davis seemed like you would be someone that

374
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:43,680
Speaker 1: would never be fit to be the leader of a franchise.

375
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 1: But Mark Davis has this team set up in Vegas

376
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 1: and a beautiful stadium that I think is gonna work.

377
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:52,399
Speaker 1: I feel like this is this Vegas and I feel

378
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:54,400
Speaker 1: for the fans in Oakland, of course, but I feel

379
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:57,880
Speaker 1: like this Vegas Raiders connection is going to be a

380
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:01,159
Speaker 1: waterfall of money and the franch eyes if you if

381
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:04,359
Speaker 1: you just look at it financially, I would imagine the

382
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:07,399
Speaker 1: value of that franchise has already doubled since Mark Davis

383
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:10,639
Speaker 1: became the owner. So maybe Mark Davis, you know, maybe

384
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:13,600
Speaker 1: he got a pep talk along the way that led

385
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 1: him down this path, because I think he's been an

386
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 1: effective owner. I mean, a team going in the right

387
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:21,360
Speaker 1: direction to that takes so much self control to not

388
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:24,400
Speaker 1: go to that game. If you're Mark Davis, I I

389
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 1: can't believe he was able to do that because watching

390
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 1: it on TV, I wanted to be there. I wanted

391
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 1: to go. Imagine if we weren't in a pandemic, because

392
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 1: that would be awesome. But that aside, if if we

393
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:39,919
Speaker 1: were operating under normal circumstances, that place would be the

394
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:42,760
Speaker 1: biggest party. And we were supposed to be there for

395
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:45,679
Speaker 1: Thursday night football, which I am doubly upset about because

396
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:48,680
Speaker 1: come on, like, let's take a group trip to Vegas,

397
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 1: watch a game and then go out. It sounds so

398
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:54,240
Speaker 1: much fun. Speak studio B So that's okay, I mean

399
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:57,360
Speaker 1: I think that's I'm not complaining. I'm not complaining. I'm

400
00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:01,879
Speaker 1: just saying, you, Shay Colleen, when you bring the energy

401
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:05,639
Speaker 1: because you're all by yourself in that gigantic studio. I

402
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 1: saw you doing one of the post games. It wasn't Thursday,

403
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 1: I think it was a Monday night football, and you

404
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:11,360
Speaker 1: were just like hooting and hollering and you were doing

405
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 1: pumped fist and I was like, that's it. You're you're

406
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:16,840
Speaker 1: trying to bring your own energy because you're in this cavern.

407
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:19,720
Speaker 1: That's a that's a professional move right there. Let me

408
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:21,680
Speaker 1: tell you, it is not an easy thing to do,

409
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,640
Speaker 1: but I will continue to do it all season. That's

410
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 1: why you're like on every list out there in the game.

411
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:31,960
Speaker 1: When it comes to media personalities. Colleen Wolf we found

412
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 1: her first, though, don't you. We discovered Colleen, not Philadelphia.

413
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 1: I owe everything to you guys on one knock, my

414
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:46,240
Speaker 1: only knock on the Death Star or the Big Owl,

415
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:49,720
Speaker 1: which has also been called I need real fire for

416
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 1: that flame. I don't want that that digital. I understand

417
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:55,280
Speaker 1: you probably can't because the way the place is structured

418
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 1: and probably healthy, you know, health, build building codes and

419
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:01,920
Speaker 1: all that stuff. But ah, we need the flame man.

420
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 1: All right, yeah, all right, that's Monday Night Football. Uh

421
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 1: remember Thursday our podcast. We're gonna go through every game

422
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 1: in the NFL and we'll get you caught up to

423
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 1: date on all the uh injuries and news around each team,

424
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:21,959
Speaker 1: So stay tuned for that. But for right now, it

425
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:24,320
Speaker 1: is time now to give out some pep talks. And

426
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 1: now these the pep talks that we're gonna give it

427
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 1: just just to get everyone in the right headspace. You

428
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:32,160
Speaker 1: are talking directly to that person, You're gonna have to

429
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:35,480
Speaker 1: use your imagination and imagine where this is, what the

430
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:39,360
Speaker 1: setup is, but ultimately the listeners and even the three

431
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:42,359
Speaker 1: of us who are not yakking uh, just have to

432
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 1: imagine this to be a one on one, closed doors

433
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 1: commerce conversation between two people. Um so here comes PEP talks.

434
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 1: They could be positive for someone that's thriving right now,

435
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 1: they could be negative for someone that's struggling. It's up

436
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:58,439
Speaker 1: to the person, and we don't know who. We chose

437
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:02,200
Speaker 1: each of us college as the guest of honor. Why

438
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:05,399
Speaker 1: don't you get us going with the first pep Okay, Okay,

439
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:08,159
Speaker 1: here we go. This one goes out to all the

440
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:10,720
Speaker 1: healthy a c l s around the league. Come on

441
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:16,359
Speaker 1: in here, take a knee. Listen. I know this was

442
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:20,200
Speaker 1: a tough week. It was really scary watching so many

443
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:23,119
Speaker 1: ligaments tear. I mean ligaments. We all look up to

444
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 1: ligaments that really have built this league, leaders in this league.

445
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:31,200
Speaker 1: But maybe maybe that left you feeling a little more

446
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 1: vulnerable than usual. But now is not the time for fear,

447
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:38,440
Speaker 1: all right, you gotta stay strong. Knees everywhere are counting

448
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:41,440
Speaker 1: on you. Guys, what our knees Without a c l s,

449
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:44,240
Speaker 1: they are nothing just a cap and some bones. I

450
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 1: mean you literally hold everything together and sure, modern medicine

451
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:51,960
Speaker 1: is a marvel. And finally rewatching all the ship's creeks

452
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 1: that your legs desire sounds really great. But you've gotta

453
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:58,440
Speaker 1: keep going. We need you to stay positive, we need

454
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:01,160
Speaker 1: you to stay flexible. So the next time I ask

455
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 1: what's popping, it better not be you. Wow ended with

456
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:10,720
Speaker 1: the bang. I love it that. I mean, listen, that

457
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:14,800
Speaker 1: is a broadcaster right there, Colleen. You said it so well.

458
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:18,920
Speaker 1: And I'll just just a quick I'm gonna jump piggyback

459
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:23,160
Speaker 1: on this m c LS p CLS the good fight too.

460
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 1: There's some sneaky ones out there. We you know, the

461
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:31,240
Speaker 1: Courtland Sutton a c l is news that broke since

462
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 1: we last taped. And suddenly that that Broncos team that

463
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:38,680
Speaker 1: just started their season seven, you know, seven days ago,

464
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:41,320
Speaker 1: and it was like, wow, They've got a million exciting

465
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:43,680
Speaker 1: young players and now they all seen or at least

466
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:46,960
Speaker 1: Lock and Sutton are wiped away. It's rough. How many

467
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:49,960
Speaker 1: how many uh, how many bottles of brown stuff has

468
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:53,720
Speaker 1: John Elway put down since Sunday Night? I mean, well,

469
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 1: the question is the answer is always over under of twelve.

470
00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:00,400
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna go I'm gonna say I was gonna

471
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:05,680
Speaker 1: say a couple right before the Blake Bortles. I mean,

472
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:09,000
Speaker 1: it's like, it's like bordles. It's funny Bill. Bill Barney

473
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:11,879
Speaker 1: was long He's been a Drew lock Um criticizer, kind

474
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:14,320
Speaker 1: of like you are maybe a doubter dan Um. And

475
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:19,720
Speaker 1: he thought Locke showed some some young bordles like tendency

476
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:21,440
Speaker 1: where you you look past her and thinks that now

477
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:24,680
Speaker 1: that the actual Bordles is there to possibly replace Jeff

478
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:27,040
Speaker 1: Drisco is kind of like the dollar store bordles. It's

479
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 1: just it's just a room full of bordles. We have

480
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:33,080
Speaker 1: a room called Heroes. John Elwie has a room full

481
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 1: of bordles. And he could have he could have avoided

482
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:37,719
Speaker 1: it if he just had a little bit more foresight.

483
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:44,200
Speaker 1: Greg was your pep talk with Wow, Um, we're only

484
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:46,240
Speaker 1: gonna do one Huh, I'm gonna I'm gonna do it

485
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:48,960
Speaker 1: to a guy out in Green Bay and um, his

486
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 1: name is Jordan's Love and he's sitting there and he's

487
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:54,120
Speaker 1: probably wondering what what is my place in the world,

488
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:55,879
Speaker 1: and and I'm there. I'm here to talk to you

489
00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:59,399
Speaker 1: Jordan and say, enjoy the ride. You just watched the

490
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:03,520
Speaker 1: sixth em in NFL history gain over a thousand yards

491
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 1: in the first two weeks. That's pretty awesome. Uh, Tim Boyle,

492
00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 1: he's not gonna be there forever. At some point you

493
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 1: can probably beat out Mr Boyle rise up to number

494
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:17,119
Speaker 1: two on the Depth start. And more importantly, you have

495
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:21,200
Speaker 1: a front row seat, um for Aaron Rodgers in a

496
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:25,840
Speaker 1: vengeance tour that somehow you unwittingly caused. I don't think

497
00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 1: there's any bad feelings. He's been through this before. Um,

498
00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 1: but he's only thirty six years old, So another thing

499
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:35,360
Speaker 1: to think about. He's only about four years away from

500
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 1: when Tom Brady won his last m v P. You

501
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:40,400
Speaker 1: can wait that out. Um, who really wants to play

502
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:46,000
Speaker 1: football anyways? Like there's CTE Okay, there's a c L stuff.

503
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:50,240
Speaker 1: He's um all sorts of a L stuff right Green

504
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:53,680
Speaker 1: Bay great karaoke bars. You can't go to him right now,

505
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:56,440
Speaker 1: but you know you can get to him, Like eventually

506
00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:59,040
Speaker 1: you're gonna get Green Bay has great karaoke bars. That

507
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:02,120
Speaker 1: is total news to me. I heard that from Aaron

508
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:06,680
Speaker 1: Rodgers himself on the Kyle Break, which which was really great.

509
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:11,359
Speaker 1: Everyone should check out that. Aaron Rodgers interview. But Jordan's Love, Um, hey,

510
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:13,120
Speaker 1: it could be four or five years. But just look

511
00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 1: at Aaron Rodgers. Look at what happened to him when

512
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 1: he waited. Look at Jimmy g Yeah that that took

513
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 1: a while, but eventually he got saved by Kyle Shanahan.

514
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 1: You will find your time Jordan's Love. Just wait. I

515
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:26,520
Speaker 1: like you giving a motivational speech to probably one of

516
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:29,440
Speaker 1: the great motivators out there. I don't know if Aaron

517
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:31,880
Speaker 1: Rodgers that we're seeing today exists, if he they didn't

518
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:35,280
Speaker 1: go and you know, annoy Aaron Rodgers, because he certainly

519
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:37,640
Speaker 1: seems like the type of person that once you annoy him,

520
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:39,640
Speaker 1: he doesn't just you know, and he's one of these

521
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:41,480
Speaker 1: Hey let's sleep on it and wake up. You know,

522
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:43,719
Speaker 1: let's go to bed happy. We never go to bed upset.

523
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:46,080
Speaker 1: Now he goes to bed upset, and he's gone to

524
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:48,479
Speaker 1: bed upset. I think about Love from the minute they

525
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:50,680
Speaker 1: took him, and so Love has done his job of

526
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:53,199
Speaker 1: playing master motivators. So you know that was fair for

527
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:55,880
Speaker 1: you to give him a speech and return kind of Really,

528
00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:58,240
Speaker 1: any success that the Packers have is going to be

529
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:02,639
Speaker 1: because of Jordan's Love. I mean, this is so great.

530
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:06,360
Speaker 1: I mean Aaron Rodgers and it's all kind of predictable.

531
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 1: He has the Packers over a barrel and he knows it.

532
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 1: And I think he's relishing this when he pours his

533
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:16,960
Speaker 1: what does he say three fingers worth of whiskey himself

534
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:19,760
Speaker 1: at the end or scotch at the end of another

535
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:23,480
Speaker 1: successful Sunday. He knows. Not only is he getting his

536
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:25,639
Speaker 1: reputation back, is one of the best quarterbacks in the

537
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:28,760
Speaker 1: league the way the season has started, but he's also

538
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:32,480
Speaker 1: getting vindication, uh, for all that rage he had within

539
00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 1: him about the first round pick being a quarterback, because

540
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:38,560
Speaker 1: now the Packers if he keeps us up a an

541
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:41,320
Speaker 1: impossible situation where they'll have to make a decision. Well,

542
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:43,960
Speaker 1: here's what's possible. Go in some super Bowls and make

543
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:46,440
Speaker 1: some super Bowls like Tom Brady did at thirty nine.

544
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:49,960
Speaker 1: It's not so bad for the Packer. Is that what

545
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 1: he needs to do? Though? Because I get the feeling

546
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:56,320
Speaker 1: if he puts together in all pro season Sandwich prop alert, Uh,

547
00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:59,040
Speaker 1: they will have to keep him on board almost well

548
00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 1: almost definitely have to keep him on on board whether

549
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:03,320
Speaker 1: or not they they do get to the Super Bowl.

550
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:05,160
Speaker 1: Because it's very hard to win a Super Bowl. You

551
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 1: are right, Dan, but I would call this green Like

552
00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:09,320
Speaker 1: for the Green Bay fans, this is their version of

553
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:12,280
Speaker 1: a problematic quarterback scenario. It's like, what do we do

554
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:14,800
Speaker 1: Our snarter is playing at an m v P level,

555
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:17,479
Speaker 1: but we have a first round talent sitting behind him.

556
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:19,240
Speaker 1: It's like, why don't you do what you've done the

557
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 1: last like four hundred and six years in Green Bays?

558
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:24,120
Speaker 1: Just pass it off from one Hall of Famer to

559
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:27,880
Speaker 1: the next. You know, it'll be sometime before I like

560
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:30,719
Speaker 1: lose sleep over. How the Green Bay Packers fan basis,

561
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 1: really there is one if you're Jordan's Love, the old

562
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:39,840
Speaker 1: adage stay ready kid, because Aaron Rodgers, for all his greatness,

563
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:43,040
Speaker 1: isn't a total iron man. He's been injured from time

564
00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:45,880
Speaker 1: to time. And that really is where Jordan's Love will

565
00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 1: likely get his shot. Because it doesn't seem like it's

566
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 1: going to come out of training camp as up we've

567
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:53,600
Speaker 1: decided you're the starter and we're trading Aaron Rodgers. It

568
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:56,080
Speaker 1: might be he's going to get a brief audition to

569
00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 1: really put the thought in that in the minds of

570
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:01,480
Speaker 1: that front office and U a bearded boy Matt Lafleur.

571
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:07,800
Speaker 1: All right, um, Mark Setsler, You know, I love to

572
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 1: be able to motivate and speak words of motivation to

573
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:15,360
Speaker 1: someone that I genuinely like, I love. I may actually

574
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:18,280
Speaker 1: love this person, and I know I'm not alone in

575
00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 1: this room. Then the person is Anthony Lynn, all right.

576
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:25,320
Speaker 1: I think Anthony Lynn is one of the more enjoyable

577
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 1: hard knocks presences that I can remember. And it had

578
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:30,960
Speaker 1: to do with everything going on this summer on that team,

579
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:32,480
Speaker 1: but the way he handled it and the more I

580
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:34,720
Speaker 1: just the more I learned about him, the more I thought,

581
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:37,160
Speaker 1: I like this guy's old school vibe and he's and

582
00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 1: he's kind of perfect. There's teams out there that need

583
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:41,480
Speaker 1: the old school dude, Gruden, you can put in that

584
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:43,680
Speaker 1: group and you can see that it's working. I think

585
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:46,720
Speaker 1: it can work for Los Angeles too. But there comes

586
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:49,880
Speaker 1: a time where every coach needs to look inward and

587
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:52,959
Speaker 1: make a change on how they've viewed the world, probably

588
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:55,040
Speaker 1: since they were a player. A lot of these coaches

589
00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:57,760
Speaker 1: get their coaching philosophies from the coaches to coach them

590
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:00,120
Speaker 1: when they were on the field. And I think there's

591
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:03,640
Speaker 1: nothing wrong with Anthony Lynn. Wanting to look around the

592
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:05,360
Speaker 1: league and say what we're gonna do is we're gonna

593
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 1: destroy people with the run game. We're gonna run the

594
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:08,960
Speaker 1: ball a hundred and eight times a week if we

595
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:13,760
Speaker 1: want to. But here's the problem, Fate. The football gods

596
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 1: have spoken, They've they've entered the scene. They've they've they're

597
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 1: on stage now they weren't a week ago. Tyrod Taylor,

598
00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:22,840
Speaker 1: who has chosen by the football gods to play this

599
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:25,240
Speaker 1: role over and over, and we really like Tyrod Taylor.

600
00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:28,360
Speaker 1: The person suddenly in the hospital with a after an

601
00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:32,160
Speaker 1: injection that you can't write this stuff right. So Justin

602
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:34,960
Speaker 1: Herbert gets on the field. I thought, this is the

603
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:37,200
Speaker 1: last rookie quarterback I want to see plane right now.

604
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:40,800
Speaker 1: He doesn't seem ready. Instead, he's totally ready. We all

605
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:43,000
Speaker 1: saw the game. We saw what they can do. And

606
00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:45,280
Speaker 1: Anthony Lynn, I love you, but you can't talk about

607
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:48,479
Speaker 1: what the plays that Herbert left on the field, that

608
00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 1: there was more to do, that Tyrod Taylor gives you

609
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:52,720
Speaker 1: a better chance to win. Tyrod Taylor gives you a

610
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:55,800
Speaker 1: better chance to score thirteen points. Love him, but you

611
00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:58,360
Speaker 1: have no idea what the ceiling is with Justin Herbert,

612
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:02,000
Speaker 1: and he can change the team. He can change your career,

613
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:06,200
Speaker 1: Anthony Lynn forever. If you simply say, I'm gonna walk

614
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:08,720
Speaker 1: into the future unknown, I don't know what we're gonna do.

615
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:11,160
Speaker 1: We're gonna see what happens, but it might be exciting

616
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:13,080
Speaker 1: and it might flip the switch on a team that

617
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:16,440
Speaker 1: needs to galvanize hearts in Los Angeles. How do you

618
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:18,200
Speaker 1: do it? I'm sorry, but you don't do it through

619
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:20,760
Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor. You do it through Justin Herbert, and you

620
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:22,600
Speaker 1: do it through going eleven and five and making the

621
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:26,920
Speaker 1: playoffs with the next great rookie quarterback story. I love it.

622
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:29,200
Speaker 1: I love it. I'm totally with your market makes me

623
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:32,240
Speaker 1: think of my favorite song Ricky Hollywood on the New

624
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 1: t Swift album track one, I'm doing good. I'm on

625
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:39,520
Speaker 1: some new ship. I've been saying yes instead of no.

626
00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:41,560
Speaker 1: That's what Anthony Lynn has to do. He has to

627
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:45,200
Speaker 1: change his mindset because he wants to be loyal to

628
00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:48,200
Speaker 1: his guy, because he loves everything about Tyrod Taylor, and

629
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:50,880
Speaker 1: especially coming off that off season with everything that was

630
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:53,760
Speaker 1: happening in the world, not just in the NFL, Taylor

631
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:56,520
Speaker 1: was a rock in that locker room. And there's loyalty there,

632
00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:58,800
Speaker 1: and Lynn is an old school dude. But you just

633
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:01,160
Speaker 1: gotta say yes, got you gotta say you know what

634
00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:03,480
Speaker 1: I need, like Mark said, to open up my chance

635
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:06,959
Speaker 1: of being more successful. And Tyrod Taylor is just he

636
00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:09,920
Speaker 1: is a progress stopper. To use the old parcels um

637
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:13,080
Speaker 1: in that room, I don't know, Colleen, if if we

638
00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:14,920
Speaker 1: could just assume Justin Herbert's going to be a three

639
00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:17,440
Speaker 1: yard passer every game and he's locked and loaded. I'm

640
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:20,240
Speaker 1: sure once teams have taped to study on him, and

641
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 1: he's gonna have some really bad games too, and maybe

642
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:24,360
Speaker 1: he'll be so bad that they have to go back

643
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:26,400
Speaker 1: to Tyrod Teller. That's not out of the range of

644
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 1: outcomes on this, but for right now, it's like this

645
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:31,520
Speaker 1: makes too much sense not to follow this path. No,

646
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:35,120
Speaker 1: especially the fact that if it's true that he just

647
00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:37,800
Speaker 1: found out that he was going to start like moments

648
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:40,880
Speaker 1: before the game, right during the pregame. I mean, this

649
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:43,120
Speaker 1: was a surprise for him, This was a surprise for

650
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:45,240
Speaker 1: the defense, and I think that's why he ended up

651
00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:47,320
Speaker 1: playing so well too, because yeah, they didn't have any

652
00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:49,680
Speaker 1: tape on him, they weren't expecting him at all. But

653
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:53,760
Speaker 1: I just feel so awful for Tyrod Tailor. I thought

654
00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:56,720
Speaker 1: for sure that this was gonna be the year for him.

655
00:33:56,800 --> 00:34:00,120
Speaker 1: He he gets got every single place that he is

656
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:02,280
Speaker 1: that I mean, whether it's in Buffalo. I was at

657
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:05,880
Speaker 1: that TNF game for the Browns against the Jets when

658
00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:09,080
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield made his debut because Tyrod got her. And

659
00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:12,000
Speaker 1: now this time, I mean, you think about the freak

660
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:15,719
Speaker 1: nature of it, about having an adverse reaction to the

661
00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:18,200
Speaker 1: shot that he got. I mean, this is something that

662
00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:21,759
Speaker 1: just feels like it's a dark cloud that has followed

663
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:25,840
Speaker 1: Tyrod around his entire career and justin Herbert could not

664
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:29,359
Speaker 1: have looked better. Well, we'll find out Sunday. I mean,

665
00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:33,800
Speaker 1: I I do before I judge Anthony Lynn too harshly

666
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:36,000
Speaker 1: about this, I want to see what he actually does

667
00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:38,399
Speaker 1: with his actions, not his words. Not that he isn't

668
00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:41,239
Speaker 1: always a straight shooter, um, but he made it clear

669
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:43,920
Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor is their starter as long as he's a

670
00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:47,560
Speaker 1: hundred percent. It's like who's up, Well, who's a hundred percent?

671
00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:51,960
Speaker 1: So does that give him some wiggle room to see

672
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:56,239
Speaker 1: what Herbert looks like this week and then truly make

673
00:34:56,320 --> 00:35:00,160
Speaker 1: the decision after that. I don't know. I um, I

674
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:02,120
Speaker 1: feel for him. I wish I had a drink. You know,

675
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:03,840
Speaker 1: we could play an a t and drinking game. I

676
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:06,879
Speaker 1: wish I had a drink for every time Mark Um

677
00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:10,719
Speaker 1: said we respect Tyrod as a person before completely burying him,

678
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:13,880
Speaker 1: because I would have had a drink. I would have

679
00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:16,240
Speaker 1: had a drink for every show going back to about

680
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:21,200
Speaker 1: like mid August. But Lynn was pretty aggressive, just saying like,

681
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:23,640
Speaker 1: we you know, in case I missed it, we lost

682
00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:27,600
Speaker 1: the damn game and pointing out all the Herbert mistakes

683
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:30,160
Speaker 1: in that game, which is which was an interesting tact.

684
00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:33,400
Speaker 1: He's definitely going with some some tough love there, but

685
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:36,280
Speaker 1: you get the sense he has one message for the media,

686
00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:39,520
Speaker 1: and I think he's probably a little different behind closed doors.

687
00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:41,520
Speaker 1: With real quick on why I feel that way about

688
00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:43,960
Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor because I actually kind of liked him when

689
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:45,840
Speaker 1: he was the Bill's quarterback, and I liked the idea

690
00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:48,279
Speaker 1: of what I think he was back when that was

691
00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:52,280
Speaker 1: like five years ago. But what I know about Tyrod

692
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:56,760
Speaker 1: Taylor is liking him on two, like on nine episodes

693
00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:59,000
Speaker 1: of Hard Knocks, you know, where you're getting to know

694
00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:00,680
Speaker 1: the person and it's not true of a lot. I

695
00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:02,880
Speaker 1: don't know the person for a lot of these other guys.

696
00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:04,520
Speaker 1: But so I say that, But then I do have

697
00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:06,359
Speaker 1: to follow it up with the fact that, like I

698
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:08,680
Speaker 1: think that as a society we get over the idea

699
00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:12,520
Speaker 1: of of Tyrod Taylor being benched probably about fourteen hours. Now, Yes,

700
00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:15,000
Speaker 1: I'd feel bad for him, but like, this is football,

701
00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:17,880
Speaker 1: and suddenly, if the Chargers have like a high ceiling

702
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:21,440
Speaker 1: interesting rookie quarterback, like, people aren't gonna be not showing

703
00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:24,240
Speaker 1: up to Chargers games or turning them on because Tyrod

704
00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:26,640
Speaker 1: Taylor is not starting. And you know, like I remember

705
00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:30,040
Speaker 1: Prison Mike on the office, like Tyler, Tyrod Taylor's like,

706
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:33,000
Speaker 1: you've got a good life. If Tyrod Taylor gets benched,

707
00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:35,920
Speaker 1: he's still you know, things are okay. He's gonna be

708
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:38,759
Speaker 1: a backup quarterback for the next seven years, and he's

709
00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:41,399
Speaker 1: a great one. Like even if he doesn't get starting jobs,

710
00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:43,359
Speaker 1: he's gonna be getting checks for a long I like

711
00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:45,760
Speaker 1: Mark that you because you're the master of just throwing

712
00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:48,800
Speaker 1: random numbers out there. You said you like Tyrod Taylor

713
00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:51,279
Speaker 1: in nine episodes of Hard Knocks. He was actually in

714
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:54,440
Speaker 1: ten episodes between the Browns and the Chargers. I want

715
00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:56,480
Speaker 1: to know if you hated him in the other episode. No, no,

716
00:36:56,560 --> 00:37:00,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be completely transparent. I ghosted the last episode

717
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:03,200
Speaker 1: out of Chargers Rams because life was getting too hot.

718
00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:05,279
Speaker 1: And it's like, I'll watched this and then suddenly week

719
00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:08,000
Speaker 1: one happened. It's like, when week one happens, Hard Knocks

720
00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:11,880
Speaker 1: feels like it's from ancient Egypt. It literally has no relevance.

721
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:13,680
Speaker 1: So I it's gone. You know, I could give you,

722
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:17,919
Speaker 1: I could give you like a real like data point

723
00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:21,120
Speaker 1: to back that up. That writing the Hard Knocks reviews

724
00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:23,719
Speaker 1: for NFL dot com, my mentions on the show for

725
00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:26,560
Speaker 1: episodes one and two are up here. And then by

726
00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:29,240
Speaker 1: the time I post that last episode that airs Tuesday,

727
00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:33,000
Speaker 1: two days before week one, nobody cares. It's actually I

728
00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:36,920
Speaker 1: would imagine it's a frustration for the Hard Knocks producers

729
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:39,200
Speaker 1: because they put a lot of effort into sticking the

730
00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:43,160
Speaker 1: landing in the best episode's tying it all together. But

731
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:46,319
Speaker 1: it's almost like by episode five, it's already served its

732
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:49,160
Speaker 1: purpose and the world moves on. But you know, again,

733
00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:51,600
Speaker 1: let's not play too many violins there either. It's my

734
00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:55,640
Speaker 1: show everybody's employed there, like hbos next, like smoking cigars,

735
00:37:55,719 --> 00:38:00,200
Speaker 1: making seven thousand Emmy Awards. I will say, though, from

736
00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:03,000
Speaker 1: watching Hard Knocks, I was kind of surprised the way

737
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:05,960
Speaker 1: that Justin Herbert came out, because look, I know that

738
00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:09,160
Speaker 1: he is obviously a really good quarterback, but just from

739
00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:11,760
Speaker 1: watching Hard Knocks, I was like, Oh, he's really quiet,

740
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:14,480
Speaker 1: he's kind of humble, he's like a little soft spoken.

741
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:18,680
Speaker 1: I just didn't expect that play to match his personality,

742
00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:22,320
Speaker 1: but it clearly does. I'm also surprised, like he's halfway

743
00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:24,560
Speaker 1: to a medical degree and wants to be a doctor

744
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:28,000
Speaker 1: after he's done playing, and like he won the National

745
00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:31,799
Speaker 1: Heisman Academic Award for the entire country as like the

746
00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:38,280
Speaker 1: best student athlete. Greg, what did you just say? What earlier?

747
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:41,080
Speaker 1: He said, once a guy thinks about retirement, it's already over.

748
00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:45,600
Speaker 1: What about that? There you go, it's time to hang

749
00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:48,480
Speaker 1: him up, all right? My pep talk will be It's

750
00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:53,279
Speaker 1: gonna be a circle back to Derek Carr, quarterback of

751
00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:59,160
Speaker 1: the undefeated Las Vegas Raiders. Before the season, you may remember,

752
00:38:59,719 --> 00:39:03,560
Speaker 1: Car said he was sick of people not giving him respect. Okay,

753
00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:09,279
Speaker 1: so Derek, um, you know, after Monday Night's win, he

754
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:14,120
Speaker 1: talked about your arrival in Vegas and how Tom Brady

755
00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:17,960
Speaker 1: was the guy that was getting some love. In fact,

756
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:21,319
Speaker 1: let's listen to what Derek had to say, Uh in

757
00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:25,279
Speaker 1: his postgame thoughts. A lot of people didn't believe it.

758
00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:26,960
Speaker 1: When the first day I moved here, Tom Brady was

759
00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:28,840
Speaker 1: on the front cover of the newspaper. You know what

760
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:31,719
Speaker 1: I'm saying, And uh, it just adds a little feel

761
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:35,040
Speaker 1: to the fire when you can still be here and

762
00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:39,920
Speaker 1: accomplish things that means so much to you. Okay, So Derek,

763
00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:43,919
Speaker 1: you know they're never gonna believe in your kid Yea,

764
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:49,239
Speaker 1: you lived your whole childhood. Actually, Ricky, can we get

765
00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:52,839
Speaker 1: some explosions in the sky like Friday Night Lights music,

766
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:54,840
Speaker 1: but not explosions of this guy because we don't have

767
00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:58,600
Speaker 1: the clearance kind of likable explosions of this guy. Okay,

768
00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:04,120
Speaker 1: We're covered Mark Brady's like, um, must double check. We'll

769
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:07,640
Speaker 1: get an email about that comment. You lived your childhood

770
00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:13,040
Speaker 1: and adolescence as a little brother, and now they capital

771
00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:17,120
Speaker 1: t want to keep you in that box. But you're

772
00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:20,400
Speaker 1: not you nobody's little brother anymore here in our league.

773
00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:25,320
Speaker 1: You're a man, is what you are, A big, bright,

774
00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:31,680
Speaker 1: shining star. Maybe not a star. Maybe maybe you'll never

775
00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:37,560
Speaker 1: be Mahomes or Lamar or DeShawn or Mr Alammanid. But

776
00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:45,760
Speaker 1: you're Derek, your Derek. Repeat after me. I am Derek.

777
00:40:48,480 --> 00:41:01,680
Speaker 1: I am Derek. I am Derek, Derek Derek. Are we

778
00:41:01,719 --> 00:41:03,719
Speaker 1: supposed to be playing along? Are we supposed to be?

779
00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:07,799
Speaker 1: Derek here? You can't make them love you, but they

780
00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:10,760
Speaker 1: can't hurt you. In the words of the great Chuck Bagano,

781
00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:15,560
Speaker 1: they can fire you, they can't eat you. Just keep

782
00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:18,000
Speaker 1: doing what you're doing and they won't be able to

783
00:41:18,040 --> 00:41:27,120
Speaker 1: deny you either. Wow. Powerful, I mean that. I know

784
00:41:27,239 --> 00:41:29,400
Speaker 1: Derek Carr is not a superstar. You know I've been

785
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:32,919
Speaker 1: pounding this drum for a few years on this podcast. Mark,

786
00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:34,600
Speaker 1: you made a good point on text. They can't even

787
00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:37,520
Speaker 1: really refute it that I believe you said. It was

788
00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:40,680
Speaker 1: sometimes the quarterbacks about what's in your heart. And Derek Carr,

789
00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:43,880
Speaker 1: for whatever reason, he just doesn't light a fire. But

790
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:45,680
Speaker 1: I think he's just so much better than he gets

791
00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:49,120
Speaker 1: credit for, and it's become one of those things. He's

792
00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:51,120
Speaker 1: kind of got a little bit of the Andy Dalton

793
00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:54,399
Speaker 1: thing going on, where people almost don't want to see

794
00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:56,680
Speaker 1: him succeed because they like keeping him in that box

795
00:41:56,719 --> 00:41:58,400
Speaker 1: that he's just this middle of the road guy. But

796
00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:01,640
Speaker 1: I think with the right surroundings, the right coaching, the

797
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:04,759
Speaker 1: right pieces around him, he's a guy that absolutely can

798
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:07,200
Speaker 1: take a team into a deep playoff run and they

799
00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:08,880
Speaker 1: are on the right path right now. I think you

800
00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:13,200
Speaker 1: picked the perfect um candidate for like a deep sports

801
00:42:13,239 --> 00:42:16,520
Speaker 1: psychology pep talk because I agree with much of what

802
00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:18,320
Speaker 1: you're saying. I think when you see like the best

803
00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:20,880
Speaker 1: of Derek Carr, that's when all these Raiders fans that

804
00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:23,719
Speaker 1: have been, you know, maybe for better or worse, you know,

805
00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:26,319
Speaker 1: backing him no matter what UM come at you saying

806
00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:27,719
Speaker 1: this is what he is, this is what he is.

807
00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:30,120
Speaker 1: By one thing, I feel like in life, whenever you

808
00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:33,000
Speaker 1: kind of start losing an argument and and I you know,

809
00:42:33,040 --> 00:42:35,000
Speaker 1: I can think of times when I've in this in

810
00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:36,799
Speaker 1: this house, I've sort of said, like, you know, I

811
00:42:36,960 --> 00:42:39,440
Speaker 1: should be respected more. I should be respecting more. You

812
00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:41,680
Speaker 1: need to be you know, giving me more respect. It's like, well,

813
00:42:42,239 --> 00:42:44,120
Speaker 1: you've lost your argument if you need to voice that.

814
00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:47,600
Speaker 1: And there's too many instances with Derek Carr where like

815
00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:52,640
Speaker 1: you're telling us that you don't that you need to

816
00:42:52,680 --> 00:42:55,600
Speaker 1: be respected more. But all you need to do is

817
00:42:55,920 --> 00:42:57,680
Speaker 1: why is Tom Brady on the cover of a newspaper.

818
00:42:57,719 --> 00:42:59,279
Speaker 1: Because he doesn't walk around saying I need to be

819
00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:02,080
Speaker 1: respected more. He says, everyone thinks I'm done. I'm gonna

820
00:43:02,080 --> 00:43:03,799
Speaker 1: go win another super Bowl and then I'm gonna go

821
00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:05,799
Speaker 1: down and to Tampa Bay when they think I'm done,

822
00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:07,960
Speaker 1: and we'll see what he does there. Derek Carr, you

823
00:43:08,120 --> 00:43:11,560
Speaker 1: you're a good quarterback, like just go win games and

824
00:43:11,680 --> 00:43:14,239
Speaker 1: don't have us pointing to Raiders teams that fade down

825
00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:17,000
Speaker 1: the stretch because you aren't aggressive enough, X, Y and Z.

826
00:43:17,600 --> 00:43:20,000
Speaker 1: People want to root for players that want to root

827
00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:21,960
Speaker 1: for themselves. I don't want to hear anything more about

828
00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:24,600
Speaker 1: the respect and all that business. Respect comes through what

829
00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:28,280
Speaker 1: you do. Now. He gave that PEP talk to Derek

830
00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:31,680
Speaker 1: Carr after the first quarter. That's what happened last night.

831
00:43:32,239 --> 00:43:34,239
Speaker 1: It took a little it took a little while warm up,

832
00:43:34,239 --> 00:43:36,360
Speaker 1: but once he did that, that offense was tough to stop.

833
00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:41,040
Speaker 1: I'm thankful um the PEP docs over. I haven't felt

834
00:43:41,080 --> 00:43:44,680
Speaker 1: that uncomfortable at points since Derek Carr was was on

835
00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:47,680
Speaker 1: our show and by the way it was. It was

836
00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:50,799
Speaker 1: it was on the cover of the paper, because you know,

837
00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:55,440
Speaker 1: the disrespect is coming from inside the building. Mark Davis

838
00:43:55,560 --> 00:43:59,960
Speaker 1: is the one who literally on record said he wanted

839
00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:03,319
Speaker 1: Tom Brady, so that that is the disrespect. That is

840
00:44:03,360 --> 00:44:06,880
Speaker 1: the person who built the stadium and then had Derek

841
00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:10,719
Speaker 1: Carr at the unveiling of the stadium at the very

842
00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:14,840
Speaker 1: same time that they were talking about bringing in Tom Brady.

843
00:44:14,920 --> 00:44:17,200
Speaker 1: So you don't blame Derek Carr for taking that a

844
00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:21,360
Speaker 1: little personally when that's your boss, um. But sometimes he

845
00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:24,640
Speaker 1: he puts it on the media, um, and it's I

846
00:44:24,680 --> 00:44:26,719
Speaker 1: think it's been his coaches and his GM and his

847
00:44:26,760 --> 00:44:29,719
Speaker 1: ownership which is fueled fueled some of this disrespect. He

848
00:44:29,840 --> 00:44:32,680
Speaker 1: can't control that, you know. I guess that's what I

849
00:44:32,760 --> 00:44:34,680
Speaker 1: was getting out with the pep talk. Can't control any

850
00:44:34,719 --> 00:44:36,680
Speaker 1: of that stuff, of all the doubters, even if they

851
00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:38,920
Speaker 1: are coming from the top of the ownership group in

852
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:41,600
Speaker 1: his own team. But if he plays well, maybe things

853
00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:43,560
Speaker 1: will straight themselves out and he'll get what he wants

854
00:44:43,560 --> 00:44:48,680
Speaker 1: in the end, which is r S BUC t Okay,

855
00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:53,040
Speaker 1: good pep talks. Guys enjoyed it fun. Let's now spin forward.

856
00:44:53,080 --> 00:44:56,600
Speaker 1: To Thursday night football. In another world, Colleen would be

857
00:44:56,600 --> 00:45:00,480
Speaker 1: hopping on her private jet tomorrow or it's tonight and

858
00:45:00,560 --> 00:45:06,680
Speaker 1: heading to beautiful Jacksonville, Florida, Duval County, um landing on

859
00:45:06,719 --> 00:45:12,080
Speaker 1: a runway that was made especially for herds. It's a

860
00:45:12,120 --> 00:45:16,400
Speaker 1: red carpet runway. But instead you will be in a

861
00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:22,560
Speaker 1: studio one at NFL Network headquarters in Culiar City. Yeah,

862
00:45:22,640 --> 00:45:24,239
Speaker 1: just as good. Listen, it's good to have a job

863
00:45:24,320 --> 00:45:30,080
Speaker 1: right now. Dolphins at Jaguars. Dolphins, oh and two Jaguars

864
00:45:30,160 --> 00:45:34,560
Speaker 1: one in one. Uh with in all seriousnes, Colleen does

865
00:45:34,680 --> 00:45:37,600
Speaker 1: great work in terms of her research and she knows

866
00:45:37,600 --> 00:45:40,080
Speaker 1: her stuff. So Colleen, I'm sure you've been studying these teams.

867
00:45:40,239 --> 00:45:42,919
Speaker 1: What are some kind of early thoughts you have? Will

868
00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:47,200
Speaker 1: start with the Jaguars alright, So obviously Gardner Minshew here,

869
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:51,400
Speaker 1: outside of those two interceptions that he had last week, Minshew,

870
00:45:51,480 --> 00:45:53,960
Speaker 1: he looked pretty good. Three touchdowns, He spread the ball

871
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:56,360
Speaker 1: around to eight different receivers. So this has been a

872
00:45:56,480 --> 00:45:59,520
Speaker 1: really good first two weeks for him. And now this

873
00:45:59,600 --> 00:46:02,680
Speaker 1: week going up against the Dolphins secondary that probably won't

874
00:46:02,680 --> 00:46:05,360
Speaker 1: have Byron Jones because of that achilles and growing injury.

875
00:46:05,360 --> 00:46:07,480
Speaker 1: It's a short week, I wouldn't expect him to be

876
00:46:07,520 --> 00:46:10,360
Speaker 1: out there, and you saw how much that affected the game.

877
00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:13,000
Speaker 1: They lost Byron Jones on the first series last week,

878
00:46:13,080 --> 00:46:14,919
Speaker 1: so not having him out there is going to be

879
00:46:15,160 --> 00:46:17,520
Speaker 1: a big, big deal. I also really like on the

880
00:46:17,560 --> 00:46:20,759
Speaker 1: side of the Jags, they're undrafted rookie, they're running back

881
00:46:20,840 --> 00:46:23,840
Speaker 1: James Robinson. He looked really good in that game, sixteen

882
00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:25,960
Speaker 1: for one or two and the touchdown, So they're like

883
00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:30,000
Speaker 1: Leonard Floyd or Leonard Fournette. No problem by but I

884
00:46:30,040 --> 00:46:33,479
Speaker 1: think that listen, the Jags run defense. They were able

885
00:46:33,520 --> 00:46:36,840
Speaker 1: to sort of limit Derrick Henry too. I mean twenty

886
00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:40,480
Speaker 1: five carries eighty four yards, so they did a pretty

887
00:46:40,520 --> 00:46:43,120
Speaker 1: good job. And then yeah, I mean on the on

888
00:46:43,160 --> 00:46:46,359
Speaker 1: the Dolphins side of things, right if Fitzpatrick, I mean,

889
00:46:46,680 --> 00:46:49,280
Speaker 1: he looked better last week, but the Bills were also

890
00:46:49,360 --> 00:46:52,920
Speaker 1: missing two of their top linebackers. Um, so obviously he's

891
00:46:52,960 --> 00:46:55,080
Speaker 1: gonna have to He'll be able to find some good

892
00:46:55,120 --> 00:46:58,279
Speaker 1: matchups in that Jags secondary. But Mike get Sick he

893
00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:00,440
Speaker 1: is the guy that I'm looking forward to seeing. He

894
00:47:00,480 --> 00:47:03,719
Speaker 1: had a huge game against Buffalo eight for one thirty.

895
00:47:03,840 --> 00:47:06,160
Speaker 1: He has six touchdowns in his last eight games, so

896
00:47:06,400 --> 00:47:10,120
Speaker 1: those are just add him to the freedom from Adam

897
00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:14,759
Speaker 1: Gaze list. Yes, exactly. Also, I'm thinking about wearing a

898
00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:17,920
Speaker 1: python jacket because it's an all Florida edition for TNF,

899
00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:22,879
Speaker 1: so some type of like animal print. I'm looking forward

900
00:47:22,880 --> 00:47:26,680
Speaker 1: to that as well. Mark you are. I thought when

901
00:47:26,719 --> 00:47:28,560
Speaker 1: you said you were actually in love with the person

902
00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:32,040
Speaker 1: for the pet talk, you were going down Minshew Alley, Uh,

903
00:47:32,360 --> 00:47:35,360
Speaker 1: this has been something you've You've been excited about him forever.

904
00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:38,960
Speaker 1: I'm sure you are clicking your heels watching film of

905
00:47:39,160 --> 00:47:42,839
Speaker 1: me and show right now meet you. Yeah. I don't

906
00:47:42,840 --> 00:47:45,560
Speaker 1: know about the Chris Berman version of the name, but um,

907
00:47:46,600 --> 00:47:49,120
Speaker 1: you know, I see a starter like I I feel

908
00:47:49,120 --> 00:47:52,920
Speaker 1: like Minshew is. Probably he was helped last year by

909
00:47:52,960 --> 00:47:56,800
Speaker 1: becoming a sensation because of his um, you know, mullet

910
00:47:56,920 --> 00:47:59,680
Speaker 1: and the mustache and like the you know, prancing around

911
00:47:59,719 --> 00:48:04,680
Speaker 1: in a shirt business. But what there we go. I

912
00:48:04,719 --> 00:48:06,640
Speaker 1: don't I feel like he did it once. I didn't

913
00:48:06,640 --> 00:48:08,319
Speaker 1: know if we needed it week after week. He did

914
00:48:08,320 --> 00:48:10,200
Speaker 1: that four or five times last night too. It's like

915
00:48:10,640 --> 00:48:14,080
Speaker 1: we get it. Um, nice joke, but I didn't need it.

916
00:48:14,320 --> 00:48:17,080
Speaker 1: I meant you to me as a starting quarterback. Who

917
00:48:17,200 --> 00:48:21,000
Speaker 1: um probably is not getting I'm just gonna ignore to

918
00:48:21,040 --> 00:48:22,759
Speaker 1: this point, is not going to get the credit he

919
00:48:22,840 --> 00:48:26,120
Speaker 1: deserves for the work he puts in. And it's even

920
00:48:26,120 --> 00:48:28,600
Speaker 1: on this show. It's just right here. It's happening because

921
00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:32,640
Speaker 1: there is this reluctance to accept that Gardner Minshew has

922
00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:37,279
Speaker 1: outplayed Baker Mayfield, Sam Donald and not Josh Allen at

923
00:48:37,320 --> 00:48:39,440
Speaker 1: this point, but a bunch of other quarterbacks that are

924
00:48:39,440 --> 00:48:41,839
Speaker 1: gonna get a lot of rope, a lot of rope

925
00:48:41,840 --> 00:48:44,160
Speaker 1: because of where they were drafted, and everyone wants Minshew

926
00:48:44,200 --> 00:48:46,560
Speaker 1: out of the picture. And they don't have a quarterback

927
00:48:46,600 --> 00:48:48,400
Speaker 1: problem right now. And the one thing in Colleen, I

928
00:48:48,440 --> 00:48:52,359
Speaker 1: love that you mentioned Jones being out because his phil

929
00:48:52,440 --> 00:48:56,960
Speaker 1: and Noah big Bnigni, a rookie, came in and Brian

930
00:48:57,040 --> 00:49:01,520
Speaker 1: Dable wisely targeted that safety eleven times for a hundred

931
00:49:01,560 --> 00:49:04,239
Speaker 1: and forty five yards and two touchdowns. And you are

932
00:49:04,320 --> 00:49:09,319
Speaker 1: playing another aggressive, aggressive passing game with the Jaguars. I

933
00:49:09,360 --> 00:49:12,640
Speaker 1: love Minshew taking some shots in this game. The interceptions

934
00:49:12,640 --> 00:49:16,080
Speaker 1: were not flagrant, idiot pros. There was one overthrow that

935
00:49:16,080 --> 00:49:20,480
Speaker 1: got tipped that was the first one that receiver. I'm

936
00:49:20,520 --> 00:49:23,160
Speaker 1: just saying he's not throwing. He's not you can't point

937
00:49:23,239 --> 00:49:26,920
Speaker 1: like the interceptions or interceptions, but they are not Minshew

938
00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:28,720
Speaker 1: not seeing the field. I think he sees the field

939
00:49:28,719 --> 00:49:31,040
Speaker 1: really well and with his legs. There are five or

940
00:49:31,080 --> 00:49:33,160
Speaker 1: six plays a game where he creates something out of

941
00:49:33,200 --> 00:49:35,719
Speaker 1: nothing but then continues to look at the field. So

942
00:49:36,040 --> 00:49:37,680
Speaker 1: I am arrow up on this guy. And it's not

943
00:49:37,719 --> 00:49:40,239
Speaker 1: because of the persona, it's because of the player. Well, yeah,

944
00:49:40,320 --> 00:49:42,680
Speaker 1: he's making the second year leap, like Kyler is. I mean,

945
00:49:42,719 --> 00:49:46,000
Speaker 1: I think you're losing the doubters on this show, maybe

946
00:49:46,080 --> 00:49:48,600
Speaker 1: Dan a little bit. But I I spent I mean

947
00:49:48,719 --> 00:49:53,520
Speaker 1: I mostly state you did, didn't you did? And I

948
00:49:53,880 --> 00:49:57,000
Speaker 1: spent all of Sunday show saying I love what I've

949
00:49:57,040 --> 00:49:59,160
Speaker 1: seen out of him. I think he's a different quarterback now.

950
00:49:59,719 --> 00:50:01,840
Speaker 1: I think these two games he has been like a

951
00:50:01,880 --> 00:50:04,600
Speaker 1: top ten quarterback to start the season, not just a

952
00:50:04,600 --> 00:50:06,719
Speaker 1: decent starter. And it's fair to say, Greg, just to

953
00:50:06,800 --> 00:50:09,799
Speaker 1: jump for one second, that what we're seeing now, and

954
00:50:09,840 --> 00:50:11,359
Speaker 1: you already kind of made the point that he's made

955
00:50:11,360 --> 00:50:13,600
Speaker 1: the league. That wasn't what he was last he was

956
00:50:13,680 --> 00:50:16,279
Speaker 1: at times he was a ton of feelings about him

957
00:50:16,360 --> 00:50:18,160
Speaker 1: was that he was a bit of a media creation

958
00:50:18,480 --> 00:50:20,880
Speaker 1: that was a little hot and cold as a quarterback

959
00:50:20,880 --> 00:50:22,319
Speaker 1: and not necessarily a guy to be like, oh yeah,

960
00:50:22,360 --> 00:50:24,319
Speaker 1: he's the guy that should be starting sixteen games. I

961
00:50:24,320 --> 00:50:26,200
Speaker 1: don't feel the same way through two games so far

962
00:50:26,239 --> 00:50:28,400
Speaker 1: this year. He's just one thing that was different. I

963
00:50:28,440 --> 00:50:30,680
Speaker 1: hear you, Danny a couple of bad quarters and games

964
00:50:30,760 --> 00:50:33,080
Speaker 1: last year and on a bad, bad offense where Nick

965
00:50:33,120 --> 00:50:36,319
Speaker 1: Foles also completely was flummixed. But minshew, what he's showing

966
00:50:36,360 --> 00:50:39,239
Speaker 1: this year. He showed he showed this last year, just

967
00:50:39,440 --> 00:50:42,640
Speaker 1: not understandably, not consistently. But there's nothing that he's just

968
00:50:42,760 --> 00:50:45,000
Speaker 1: doing now that he wasn't doing a year ago. It's

969
00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:47,440
Speaker 1: it's from wire to wire in these two games. He

970
00:50:47,440 --> 00:50:49,960
Speaker 1: showed flashes early when he came back in for falls.

971
00:50:50,000 --> 00:50:51,080
Speaker 1: At the end of the year, he looked like a

972
00:50:51,160 --> 00:50:53,640
Speaker 1: rookie uh the last five six games of the year.

973
00:50:54,160 --> 00:50:56,960
Speaker 1: But Jay Gruden such a perfect combination room. Eight guys

974
00:50:57,000 --> 00:51:00,520
Speaker 1: on their team caught three passes last week, so it's

975
00:51:00,560 --> 00:51:03,000
Speaker 1: they have a lot of guys. Channa, the way nat

976
00:51:03,080 --> 00:51:06,160
Speaker 1: moves is really exciting. The way James Robinson moves. We

977
00:51:06,520 --> 00:51:09,240
Speaker 1: know Chark is a big time player. Like they're getting

978
00:51:09,239 --> 00:51:11,440
Speaker 1: calmly involved, they can spread around. To me, these two

979
00:51:11,480 --> 00:51:14,440
Speaker 1: teams are very different and that their defenses are probably

980
00:51:14,480 --> 00:51:17,360
Speaker 1: gonna be garbage this season, like a bottom six or

981
00:51:17,360 --> 00:51:19,680
Speaker 1: seven defense. I don't think there's gonna be a lot

982
00:51:19,719 --> 00:51:22,120
Speaker 1: of stops. Neither team has a pass rush. I think

983
00:51:22,160 --> 00:51:24,840
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks are kind of similar. Actually think Fitzpatrick's played

984
00:51:24,880 --> 00:51:27,360
Speaker 1: fairly well. If you watch how bad his pass protection

985
00:51:27,560 --> 00:51:30,000
Speaker 1: has been the first against even against the Patriots. He's

986
00:51:30,040 --> 00:51:32,120
Speaker 1: making tough throws because that's all there is to make,

987
00:51:32,200 --> 00:51:35,440
Speaker 1: and he's under pressure. Uh, he just has a lot

988
00:51:35,480 --> 00:51:38,000
Speaker 1: less around him. So in a game that you kind

989
00:51:38,000 --> 00:51:41,879
Speaker 1: of like the offenses better than the defenses, I think, uh.

990
00:51:41,920 --> 00:51:44,359
Speaker 1: I think Gardner's got more help and they get a win.

991
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:47,160
Speaker 1: The defense of the Dolphins is something to keep an

992
00:51:47,160 --> 00:51:50,839
Speaker 1: eye on here because, yes, Byron Jones leaving left a

993
00:51:50,920 --> 00:51:52,920
Speaker 1: huge hole in that secondary, and last year was all

994
00:51:52,920 --> 00:51:55,080
Speaker 1: about the big tank with the Dolphins, and the thought was,

995
00:51:55,640 --> 00:51:57,560
Speaker 1: you get all these first round picks, you spend all

996
00:51:57,600 --> 00:52:00,120
Speaker 1: this money, Uh, things will be better. But right now

997
00:52:00,160 --> 00:52:03,080
Speaker 1: the defense remains, you know, maybe not at the levels

998
00:52:03,080 --> 00:52:04,799
Speaker 1: they were at the beginning of lest season, but still

999
00:52:04,800 --> 00:52:07,440
Speaker 1: a major problem. They need to have growth, and that

1000
00:52:07,520 --> 00:52:10,399
Speaker 1: is Brian Flores's land, so he needs to get that

1001
00:52:10,520 --> 00:52:13,719
Speaker 1: in a those affairs in order. They also have a

1002
00:52:13,719 --> 00:52:15,800
Speaker 1: coordinator that was out of the league since two thousand

1003
00:52:15,800 --> 00:52:18,200
Speaker 1: and twelve. I feel like that's a little under the radar.

1004
00:52:18,280 --> 00:52:20,720
Speaker 1: And and and if you look at like the resume

1005
00:52:20,840 --> 00:52:23,799
Speaker 1: of his assistance on that offensive side of the ball,

1006
00:52:25,360 --> 00:52:28,160
Speaker 1: you know there's just been They probably have as light

1007
00:52:28,320 --> 00:52:30,680
Speaker 1: chan Gaily. Yes, he has not been in the NFL

1008
00:52:30,719 --> 00:52:33,600
Speaker 1: since two thousand and twelve, going against the guy Gruden

1009
00:52:33,600 --> 00:52:35,360
Speaker 1: who's been there the whole time and as ready, and

1010
00:52:35,360 --> 00:52:36,960
Speaker 1: if you look at kind of the resumes of all

1011
00:52:37,040 --> 00:52:40,560
Speaker 1: his offensive assistance, it's it's not a lot of guys

1012
00:52:40,640 --> 00:52:43,640
Speaker 1: that are gonna bowl you over with track records of success.

1013
00:52:43,800 --> 00:52:46,879
Speaker 1: And so without an off season you're coming back into

1014
00:52:46,880 --> 00:52:50,080
Speaker 1: the It's just a lot to ask for this Dolphins team.

1015
00:52:50,080 --> 00:52:53,560
Speaker 1: This is set up really well, Mark Uh and Colleen,

1016
00:52:53,680 --> 00:52:56,239
Speaker 1: because you want of course you want you want me

1017
00:52:56,280 --> 00:52:59,719
Speaker 1: and you post game Uh for that conversation after he

1018
00:52:59,760 --> 00:53:04,680
Speaker 1: has big day and he's such a he's such a

1019
00:53:04,760 --> 00:53:08,439
Speaker 1: charismatic guy that you want that. And I think it's

1020
00:53:08,480 --> 00:53:12,120
Speaker 1: all set up there where playing against this Dolphins team,

1021
00:53:12,200 --> 00:53:15,359
Speaker 1: especially with the secondary banged up. I think he's gonna

1022
00:53:15,360 --> 00:53:17,680
Speaker 1: have another nice game and it's gonna be a huge

1023
00:53:17,719 --> 00:53:21,000
Speaker 1: story on Friday, and with you and Mike Larvin and

1024
00:53:21,080 --> 00:53:24,239
Speaker 1: the gang on Thursday Night. Yeah, we we We got

1025
00:53:24,239 --> 00:53:27,280
Speaker 1: to talk to Minshew last year on Thursday Night Football

1026
00:53:27,320 --> 00:53:29,880
Speaker 1: and we had his entire family up on the set

1027
00:53:29,960 --> 00:53:32,799
Speaker 1: after he got that win. But I think that, yeah,

1028
00:53:32,880 --> 00:53:36,240
Speaker 1: it obviously favors I think a little bit the Jags

1029
00:53:36,280 --> 00:53:38,520
Speaker 1: here because of Byron Jones being out, but also the

1030
00:53:38,520 --> 00:53:40,080
Speaker 1: fact that they'll be able to run the ball to

1031
00:53:40,520 --> 00:53:43,200
Speaker 1: The Dolphins right now are allowing five yards per carry

1032
00:53:43,239 --> 00:53:46,080
Speaker 1: through two games. I feel like they really need Kyle

1033
00:53:46,200 --> 00:53:48,000
Speaker 1: van Noy to kind of step up a little bit too.

1034
00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:50,239
Speaker 1: They need everybody to step up. Almost out of six

1035
00:53:50,280 --> 00:53:52,839
Speaker 1: against Josh Allen and it come through hands. That would

1036
00:53:52,840 --> 00:53:55,319
Speaker 1: have changed, That would have changed that game. Yeah, So

1037
00:53:55,400 --> 00:53:58,360
Speaker 1: maybe a little bit more from him too. You need

1038
00:53:58,719 --> 00:54:01,960
Speaker 1: minshow because he needs make up for Baker's performance in

1039
00:54:01,960 --> 00:54:04,840
Speaker 1: the interview last week. Baker's in this like I'm winning

1040
00:54:04,880 --> 00:54:07,359
Speaker 1: in silence. I'm just I'm going out of my way

1041
00:54:07,360 --> 00:54:09,440
Speaker 1: to be boring. I was watching you do the interview

1042
00:54:09,440 --> 00:54:12,200
Speaker 1: where it's like you guys are trying to pull something

1043
00:54:12,280 --> 00:54:14,720
Speaker 1: from him. You've got Michael Irvin trying to pull something

1044
00:54:14,760 --> 00:54:17,080
Speaker 1: from and he's just going out of it. And it's

1045
00:54:17,120 --> 00:54:20,840
Speaker 1: fine if that's who you really are, Like when you know,

1046
00:54:21,440 --> 00:54:23,359
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think of a quarterback just flat, when

1047
00:54:23,400 --> 00:54:26,239
Speaker 1: Alex Smith is giving you pretty like blah answer, that's

1048
00:54:26,239 --> 00:54:29,360
Speaker 1: just who Alex Smith is, I think in interviews. But Baker,

1049
00:54:29,480 --> 00:54:31,960
Speaker 1: like you can tell he's trying to muzzle himself, and

1050
00:54:32,000 --> 00:54:34,239
Speaker 1: that's something like Colleen, he was cutting a cake last

1051
00:54:34,320 --> 00:54:37,319
Speaker 1: time while talking about Harlow's hide. He has to be

1052
00:54:37,520 --> 00:54:39,600
Speaker 1: who he is. We talked about that on the show too,

1053
00:54:39,719 --> 00:54:42,360
Speaker 1: Like you can't because here's here's where, here's where all

1054
00:54:42,400 --> 00:54:45,440
Speaker 1: the strategy breaks down. I'm operating in silence, like I'm

1055
00:54:45,480 --> 00:54:48,399
Speaker 1: never gonna speak. But these progressive ads have come back

1056
00:54:48,440 --> 00:54:50,000
Speaker 1: for the second year, and every time one of those

1057
00:54:50,000 --> 00:54:52,120
Speaker 1: comes on, I feel like a brick is being dropped

1058
00:54:52,120 --> 00:54:53,880
Speaker 1: to my head from the eighteenth story of a building,

1059
00:54:53,960 --> 00:54:58,640
Speaker 1: Like why did these come back? It's just it is

1060
00:54:58,680 --> 00:55:02,960
Speaker 1: a whole campaign with layered advertising, and you're right, it

1061
00:55:03,000 --> 00:55:05,879
Speaker 1: does kind of jump out at you that he's saying

1062
00:55:05,880 --> 00:55:08,080
Speaker 1: he's silent than every commercial break. All you hear is

1063
00:55:08,120 --> 00:55:10,480
Speaker 1: I'm talking. But you know what, let's not talk about

1064
00:55:10,480 --> 00:55:12,920
Speaker 1: the Browns right now. Let's focus on the Jags and

1065
00:55:12,960 --> 00:55:16,200
Speaker 1: Dolphins and check it out with Colleen Wolf and the
