Speaker 1: show is currently live on YouTube and I failed. I

12

Speaker 1: week war games, with the exception of Thursday Night Football.

47
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:10,640
Speaker 1: mini pod that will follow later tonight hopefully. You know,

48
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: there's some technical concerns. Greg is very nervous. It's gonna

49
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 1: be Wes and Greg handling. I'm not nervous to have

50
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:21,799
Speaker 1: Eagles Packers game. If it's responsibility, if it doesn't show

51
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 1: up in your file. Just know that West got confused

52
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 1: and then Greg washed his hands of it. The process

53
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 1: not in that order. Oh, Greg's already washed. The process

54
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 1: seems to require nothing beyond common sense. You're right, You're

55
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 1: absolutely right. I think we can handle it, Greg, Greg.

56
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 1: I don't know West. You know like West. When I

57
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 1: think West, I don't think technological savvy right off the top,

58
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 1: that's fair. Go in with that chip on your shoulder. West,

59
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 1: I don't like you being you know, a presumed to

60
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 1: not be technically oriented sling. I survive in the world

61
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 1: of two thousand nineteen, so it must be okay when

62
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 1: it comes to you. Also, gotta have wife is a

63
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 1: very smart world. She's like borderline millennial. I'm fine. Spice

64
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 1: Wreck might be there. He obviously could help out if needed.

65
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 1: I was keeping the party a little slimmer this time. Um, yes,

66
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 1: so you'll get that. We have Let's figure out who

67
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 1: we're talking about today. Thirty two teams, two teams on

68
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:30,720
Speaker 1: by two teams that already talked about teams divide by

69
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:34,919
Speaker 1: two fourteen games to talk got there? Got there? Everyone?

70
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:36,719
Speaker 1: Everyone thinks I don't. I'm not going to get there.

71
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 1: I always get there. Might be a couple of wrong turns,

72
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,559
Speaker 1: but I always get to the destination. I'm concerning myself

73
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 1: because I was about to tell you that it was

74
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 1: twenty six teams and you were incorrect. That whole little

75
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:48,280
Speaker 1: you know part of the show. That's the one part

76
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 1: of the show I approve of people listening to at

77
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,839
Speaker 1: double speed. You know, otherwise listen to us normally, but

78
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 1: if you want to speed it up for that, that's

79
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 1: an authentic moment in the show, and authentic moments are

80
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 1: always welcome. Um. Yeah, So we're gonna go through all

81
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 1: the games. We'll do it draft style, uh snake style.

82
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,040
Speaker 1: We're gonna work out the kinks. I you know, as

83
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:09,040
Speaker 1: the host of the show, bad job by me by

84
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,799
Speaker 1: messing up the draft order. But if some people picked

85
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 1: up on last week and and put out there on Twitter,

86
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:17,159
Speaker 1: well we have the guys that built road a world

87
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 1: brick by brick, guys have been involved with a trillion

88
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 1: fantasy drafts. Could have could have been the whistleblower here.

89
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:26,719
Speaker 1: We all should be more aware of this. Whistle blower

90
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:31,840
Speaker 1: culture is hot right now. And all right, who has

91
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 1: the first day? All right, west will have the first pick.

92
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 1: I will say, I will tell you the order. I

93
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 1: just don't trust you at this point, Wes Mark, Greg Dan,

94
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,600
Speaker 1: that is the order. So with the first overall pick,

95
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:51,159
Speaker 1: the first game that we're gonna talk today about, Chris

96
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 1: Westling selects. Sorry, Greg the this this has a lot

97
00:05:56,600 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: going for it. It's the Romo game. If Romo does

98
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,600
Speaker 1: not qualify for the Safe Way Open this Sunday, in

99
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 1: which case CBS has Boomer a siasin. If he doesn't

100
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 1: make the cut, he's playing in the tournament. He's supposed

101
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 1: to be a long shot that he makes the cut. Tony,

102
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 1: can we grow up a little bit here? Boomer? And

103
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,600
Speaker 1: this apparently I was reading in Andrew marshawn article on

104
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 1: the New York Post, And if this goes well for Boomer,

105
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 1: again a long shot that he gets the chance. But

106
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,600
Speaker 1: there's a chance that Romo could leave CBS after the year.

107
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 1: He's going to be a free agent and ESPN or

108
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 1: NBC or somebody could break the bank for Romo. He

109
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:35,920
Speaker 1: wants to, you know, I don't know if he wants

110
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 1: to be the highest paid broadcaster ever, but he's going

111
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:39,840
Speaker 1: to be. As we tape right now, he is even

112
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,359
Speaker 1: through twelve holes in the first round, but that that

113
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:45,280
Speaker 1: puts him seven shots back already. Let's we like talking

114
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 1: about this, So before we get into the game, Tony

115
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 1: Romo goes free agent. CBS offers obviously the a f

116
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:54,919
Speaker 1: C and he's got the best game every week, and

117
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 1: he's got the best playoff games. He's got the Patriots,

118
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. Where would he go? He's he's blocked at NBC.

119
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 1: There's both Al Michael's and well, actually it's called Guy

120
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 1: Colin's worth Monday Night Football is not the premium spot

121
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 1: it once was. It's better games to say. On Sunday,

122
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 1: NBC opens up the vault, they bring in Romo and

123
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 1: they pair him with Mike Tariko for the pregame show

124
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 1: of Sunday Night Football. That's how I would handle. There's

125
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 1: also a stream. I mean, that's what they're doing with

126
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 1: just Letten. You take the pre eminent color analysts and

127
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 1: pair him with Tariko to get those game picks out

128
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 1: before the game. That's a lot amos an ex player.

129
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 1: He knows he's got used, got his pick, Liam MQ.

130
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 1: He's gotta you know, Romo has gotta play this negotiation out.

131
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 1: If he wants to get the most money, He's gonna

132
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 1: get the most money regardless. Just stay at CBS would

133
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 1: be my advice to him. You're gonna get paid a

134
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 1: ton of money and have you know, the best game

135
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 1: every week and being an institution forty years if you

136
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 1: want it. I don't know if you wanted this information,

137
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 1: but I believe John Madden's eight million dollars per year

138
00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 1: contract was the highest ever for I call he'll beat that,

139
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 1: all right, what you guys, You guys are a little

140
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 1: crazy with this, like Romo, game is the game I

141
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 1: want to do first. Most of us, when I say

142
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 1: most of us people of fall football, have no idea

143
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 1: what game he's assigned to. So what game are you

144
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 1: talking about? Well, this has another thing going forward to.

145
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 1: It's also a four o'clock game. So I get to

146
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 1: check a couple of boxes. It's the Minnesota Vikings at

147
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears grass field in the Midwest. That that's

148
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 1: checking another box. Big piece of steak and watching football. Yeah,

149
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 1: you know, two yard runs on second and twelve be great.

150
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:34,200
Speaker 1: I got a text from my bartender friend Paul, who

151
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 1: you've met Mark, and the text was basically a Mark

152
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 1: Sessler fever dream. Okay, if Andy Dalton quarterback the Bears,

153
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 1: they'd be the NFC favorites. So he's that down on

154
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 1: on Mitchell Trobinsky, As are you. I am. I don't

155
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 1: know if I'd go Andy Dalton, but yeah, I the

156
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 1: I this. I'm kind of surprised despite Tony Romo, this

157
00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,440
Speaker 1: is the game that you're fascinated to see based on

158
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 1: ne offenses. To me, that feel stuck in a different

159
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 1: era of football. But that explained. It's outdoor football in

160
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 1: the Midwest in the fall. It doesn't get any better

161
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:12,199
Speaker 1: than that. I'll take it in a stadium with a

162
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 1: lot of history and two teams that are probably going

163
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 1: to the playoffs. In my mind, it's also, you know,

164
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 1: it's scoring will be at a premium, you would assume,

165
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 1: but if you like watching defense, it should be fun

166
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:26,440
Speaker 1: to watch. And it's two coordinators that are probably gonna

167
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 1: make the opposing quarterbook look quarterback look bad. I think

168
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 1: we know who Kirk Cousins is, though. These are two

169
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,440
Speaker 1: teams almost trying to hide their quarterback on some level,

170
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:36,960
Speaker 1: and Kirk Cousins is fine. Rabinsky is a tougher guy

171
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 1: to put your finger on what he's gonna do week

172
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:43,320
Speaker 1: to week, and I see him as more likely to implode,

173
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:47,080
Speaker 1: especially because the Vikings now have that pass rush duo

174
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 1: and Everson Griffin and Daniel Hunter again that they had

175
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 1: a few years ago. Everson Griffin, who was had a

176
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,840
Speaker 1: really down year last year, also missed some time because

177
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 1: of off off the field issues, um with his mental illness.

178
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,960
Speaker 1: He's playing out standing. So now you have those two

179
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 1: guys against the Bears line that I don't think is

180
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 1: quite as good as maybe people people think they are,

181
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 1: and I think that's trouble for Drabinsky. Yeah. I think

182
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 1: Kyle Long in particular has got off to the worst

183
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 1: start of his career injuries. Yeah, I think that Mr

184
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,680
Speaker 1: Drobisky is gonna be okay in his building in a

185
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:22,840
Speaker 1: game like this on the road against the contender. I

186
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 1: will never feel comfortable I think about Drabinsky at this

187
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:28,320
Speaker 1: stage right now, but I could see him building on

188
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:32,320
Speaker 1: Monday night a little bit. And Cousins the quarterbacks are

189
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 1: fascinating in this game because this is another test for Cousins.

190
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 1: The last time we had a huge division challenge for him,

191
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:40,840
Speaker 1: he could not have shrunk more against the Packers and

192
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:44,720
Speaker 1: cost him that game. Uh, Kirk Cousins cost him that game. Um,

193
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:47,320
Speaker 1: he gets another chance here in a high profile spot

194
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 1: in a late game in Week four. One thing I

195
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 1: love about this game in this in this Bears team,

196
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 1: because I would have predicted this to go totally south.

197
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 1: Chuck Pagano taking over Vic Fonio's defense. That felt to

198
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:01,080
Speaker 1: me like the kind of job you don't want to

199
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 1: take because someone has totally maximized and done the best

200
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:07,080
Speaker 1: thing you could have done with Chicago's defense. It's obviously

201
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,960
Speaker 1: gonna be worse. So we talked all offseason all these variables,

202
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,959
Speaker 1: the turnovers, the pick six is the funnel. It's not

203
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,200
Speaker 1: gonna happen again. Well it is happening again, and it

204
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:17,840
Speaker 1: makes me also feel like Vick Fonio also has people

205
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 1: to look at Vick fon Jo and say, you're getting

206
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,320
Speaker 1: Chuck Paganod here. He's coming in and doing what you

207
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:24,439
Speaker 1: couldn't do. And now you're in Denver and you have

208
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 1: a sack. You did it, but you went to Denver

209
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 1: and you can't even do. But I'm happy for Chuck mcgonnalugh.

210
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 1: I think they'll they'll probably dominate this game. I don't

211
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 1: think they've been as good this year overall, certainly in

212
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:38,840
Speaker 1: the Denver game, but they their talent is just overwhelming.

213
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 1: The difference is Cousins also has more support. I mean,

214
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 1: Trabisky doesn't have digs and theeling on the outside. And

215
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 1: more importantly, he doesn't have Dalvin Cook, who is making

216
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 1: that sandwich prop I put up of him, you know,

217
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 1: beating all the other big name running back. The yard

218
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:54,560
Speaker 1: from scrimmage look pretty good right now. He is the

219
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:56,840
Speaker 1: NFL leader in yards from scrimmage. He is the NFL

220
00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 1: leader in yards per carry, in rushing yards, and when

221
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 1: they bring an out Alexander Madison for seven or eight

222
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 1: carries a game, look, he looks like a baller too. Sorry.

223
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 1: I think cousins job is ultimately a little easier in

224
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 1: this game. But there's pressure on the Bears because wasn't

225
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 1: it Matt Neegy was meant to come in and take

226
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 1: whoever is in the soup and turn that offense into

227
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 1: something watchable and totally fun. In the front office went

228
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 1: crazy to take Trabinsky where they did in the draft,

229
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 1: ahead of Deshaun Watson, ahead of Patrick Mahomes. And I

230
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:25,960
Speaker 1: see a team with a lot of pressure building if

231
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,199
Speaker 1: they if they get dropped in their own building. Here

232
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 1: and Robinsky struggles on your Dalvin Cook point, this is

233
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:35,560
Speaker 1: his team now, that's his offense is even though Kirk

234
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:38,680
Speaker 1: Cousins through for yards last year and you have those stars,

235
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 1: Cook is the engine. And it even plays out and

236
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 1: extends to their pregame introductions effective last week, Dalvin Cook

237
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 1: is now the last guy introduced, not like Michael Gordon's. Wow.

238
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:55,200
Speaker 1: Well you hear the way they talk about him. Feeling

239
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:58,200
Speaker 1: says that every game we were winning because of Dalvin Cook. Well,

240
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:01,439
Speaker 1: they are they are really ruddy in nineties offense. They

241
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:05,079
Speaker 1: are under center eight percent of the time. The next

242
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 1: closest team is something around six, and so they're they

243
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:12,320
Speaker 1: don't they're not in shotgun. The Bears are trying to

244
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 1: play two thousand nineteen offense. I just don't know if

245
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 1: they have you know, the quarterbacks for it. Um, all right,

246
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 1: let's pick this game, by the way, because this is

247
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:23,320
Speaker 1: I'm Vikings. I am too the Vikings. I think the

248
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 1: Vikings are one of those home road teams, and I

249
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 1: think they're gonna go undefeated at home, but I think

250
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 1: they're totally different on the road. I'm picking the Bears.

251
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:32,080
Speaker 1: I am gonna go against what I normally feel about

252
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:34,560
Speaker 1: the Bears. I think they're gonna win eighteen to sixteen

253
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 1: at home. There a defense is going to score eighteen points.

254
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,679
Speaker 1: The second overall pick goes to Mark Sessler. Um, I'm

255
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 1: gonna also take one of these four o'clock games because

256
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:46,200
Speaker 1: it is a large chunk of time in the afternoon,

257
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 1: and by the time we get back to me, they'll

258
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:50,440
Speaker 1: all be gone. But it's not just simply that kind

259
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:54,080
Speaker 1: of like, well, it's little shaking the first couple of weeks.

260
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 1: Now you're here, you see the one thing that the

261
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 1: one area that you're completely wrong on is there were

262
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:03,320
Speaker 1: three late game in the first week. I had no assignment.

263
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 1: I roamed the building. I went home for forty five minutes.

264
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,680
Speaker 1: You're completely wrong in terms of strategy, and my drafts

265
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 1: have been pristine. Jacksonville at Denver, I'm taking it. I

266
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:16,840
Speaker 1: had not. Well, you can you can say what you want.

267
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:20,880
Speaker 1: There are two things happening here that I like. Jacksonville

268
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 1: Denver number two overall pick Well. I'm not a huge

269
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 1: fan of the Tampa Bay Blake Bords or the Bears.

270
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 1: Took Mitchell Trobiski about that, but I'm gonna say that

271
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 1: I'm excited about Gardner Minshew going continuing what's he what

272
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 1: he's done with an offense that a lot has changed

273
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 1: since compared to what we thought would happen here. A

274
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 1: lot has changed already against the Denver defense just mentioned

275
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 1: with Vick Fongio, no sacks, they're not doing what everyone

276
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 1: would have thought capably. That would have been no issue

277
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 1: with Bradley Chubb, with your with the entire defense you

278
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 1: have there, I thought Bradley chub was going to be

279
00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 1: off to a Miles Garrett like defensive player of the

280
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 1: Year type thing. Nothing is happening there on that defense.

281
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 1: In the offense, I know, Greg, you point out how

282
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 1: many how manny, how much yardage they're piling up there

283
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 1: to me and not an exciting offense to watch it all.

284
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 1: But Gardner Minshew and we all, it feels like a

285
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:17,560
Speaker 1: long time against that Titans team. This Jaguars team lost

286
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 1: Nick Foles down on the quarterback position. Up goes Gardner Minshew.

287
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 1: I thought that they were gonna go through a lightened

288
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 1: up tougher Leonard four Nette. He to me is entirely down,

289
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 1: outside of one run last week that completely changed a

290
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 1: box score that would fool you if he went and

291
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 1: looked at it afterwards. He was an absolute disaster against

292
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 1: the Titans. DDI Westbrook is hurting the team with drops,

293
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 1: had a killer drop in the end zone and hurting

294
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew, whose line every week would look a lot

295
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 1: better if he did what he could do. But DJ Shark,

296
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 1: I think is someone that has already shown a ton

297
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 1: of chemistry with Minshew. I think they can go in

298
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 1: and beat the Broncos. I think it's gonna happen. And

299
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 1: if it does, the Jaguars sitting at two and two

300
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 1: doing something no one would have thought once Nick Foles

301
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 1: went down, that would be the more interesting result. I

302
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 1: feel like this is as tough a game I thought

303
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 1: there was on the schedule to pick, uh when I

304
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 1: picked the games on NFL like I took the Broncos though,

305
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 1: because I just feel like they not that they deserve

306
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 1: a win, but that they're a little better than the record.

307
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 1: And here's a very lukewarm take. Joe Flacco hasn't been

308
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 1: terrible as much as you know. He's made a couple

309
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 1: of big mistakes, but he's not their biggest problem there.

310
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 1: Tackles are the right now the worst tackles situation in

311
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 1: the league, and so you don't want Joe Flacco back

312
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 1: there behind it. But there's a reason to me that

313
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 1: he's ranked ninth right now in QBR and he's fourteenth

314
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 1: or fifteen in PF. He's just fine. He's not helping

315
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 1: them in any way. I feel like I'm an ELI

316
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 1: defender right now. They just have other big problems the team.

317
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 1: He's not helping them in any way. No, he's not.

318
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:47,880
Speaker 1: He's a mid level. He's the starting quarterback between the twenties. Yeah,

319
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 1: they are number one in the NFL and plays per

320
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:53,640
Speaker 1: drive number three, in time of possession for drive number seven,

321
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 1: in yards per drive number thirteen, and drive success rate.

322
00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:58,800
Speaker 1: They are moving the ball to the red zone and

323
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 1: then running into a brick. That's what happens when we

324
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 1: have no big play. They have no big plays. They

325
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 1: should have more. Courtland Sun is kind of having that

326
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:07,439
Speaker 1: breakout year. The running game looks awesome last week. I

327
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 1: do think there are some underlying parts of this team

328
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:15,640
Speaker 1: that just aren't that bad, especially without Jalen Ramsey, who

329
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:17,679
Speaker 1: we haven't mentioned is expected to miss the game with

330
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 1: for the birth of the daughter. They're the stranger. So

331
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:22,360
Speaker 1: in three team, I can remember all those offensive numbers

332
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 1: I just said, but they're also number twenty nine and

333
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:28,200
Speaker 1: average starting field position. Because their defense, which has stars

334
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:31,720
Speaker 1: on it, is the first defense is since the SACS

335
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:35,400
Speaker 1: statistic came official to have zero sax and zero turnovers

336
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 1: in three straights. The defense is the bigger problem is

337
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 1: It's kind of my point, Well, I see what you're saying,

338
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 1: and West has the numbers to back it up. But

339
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:48,439
Speaker 1: watching them, Joe Flacco offense. It's hard work. He's not

340
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:50,680
Speaker 1: going down. He's also played the Bears and the Packers

341
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:54,199
Speaker 1: and weeks. That's a tough skin. And now he's got

342
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 1: the Jacks, which isn't much easier. It's hard work. I

343
00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:58,399
Speaker 1: don't I don't expect them to turn turn into a

344
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:00,480
Speaker 1: totally different offense with a week or defense and the

345
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 1: Jacks is a tough challenge even without Jalen Ramsey. I

346
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:05,479
Speaker 1: just don't. I don't think he's the answer, just like

347
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:08,159
Speaker 1: Eli mcmanning wasn't the answers not New York. But they

348
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 1: don't have anybody to turn to right now. They just

349
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 1: feel more like a six and ten team than a

350
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 1: than a three and and you're gonna get those six

351
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 1: wins sometimes in home games against teams like the jack

352
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:18,679
Speaker 1: there's a time sometimes when you want to just like

353
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:22,200
Speaker 1: pretend it's one and look back on the Broncos, so

354
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:24,639
Speaker 1: look back on the fill in the blank team and

355
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:26,879
Speaker 1: be like, we could spend all week long, you know,

356
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 1: spinning the numbers and telling you why they're effected between

357
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:32,200
Speaker 1: the twenties. But it was a botched operation to think

358
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:35,360
Speaker 1: And maybe I'll be wrong, but the roncept of Joe

359
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 1: Flacco taking on the Broncos. There, ow and three. I

360
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 1: think they're gonna finish about five and eleven, six and ten,

361
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 1: and they're gonna move on very quickly. Yeah, I get Flacco.

362
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:46,560
Speaker 1: To me, isn't the problem though, It's not drafting a

363
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:50,400
Speaker 1: quarterback higher, or it's Drew Lock, or it's their tackles,

364
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 1: like they needed to have a real quarterback to build around.

365
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 1: By the way, Jalen Ramsey, our prayers are answered, it

366
00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:59,399
Speaker 1: looks like he's looks like he's better. It looks like

367
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:03,360
Speaker 1: the illness us that had gripped him and dropped him

368
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 1: to his knees has moved on. Now he's got the

369
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:09,159
Speaker 1: back injury comes in, and the and the hamstrings, his

370
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 1: body shutting down. Well, all that stuff is in the background,

371
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 1: and now he's got a baby coming with you, sister.

372
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 1: Given credit, he covers his bases, his deniability skyrocket and

373
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:27,440
Speaker 1: from flu to back stiffness to having a baby. It's

374
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 1: so true because flew obvious bs and nobody took it seriously.

375
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 1: Doug Brown literally laughed at a press conference when asked

376
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:37,400
Speaker 1: about it. Back injury overly suspicious because it's the one

377
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:39,800
Speaker 1: injury a player can say he's dealing with that. They

378
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:44,120
Speaker 1: can't diagnose. It's the diagnosing back injuries is very difficult.

379
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 1: So but it's still it didn't pass the smell test.

380
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:49,720
Speaker 1: Now baby on the way, Who can say anything about that?

381
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:53,640
Speaker 1: You're not allowed to What do you mean I didn't

382
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 1: say anything. He's saying you cannot say anything. You could

383
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 1: call obvious bs And he's a selfish player to me

384
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 1: on back injury, um having vomit issues or whatever. He

385
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:07,960
Speaker 1: was dealing with the baby thing. Now he's he's found away.

386
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 1: Clear Now how long does he get to stay away?

387
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:13,600
Speaker 1: There are people in this building for paternity leave that

388
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 1: disappear for like six weeks and they use every day.

389
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 1: The NFL will allow. Will Jalen Ramsey go this route?

390
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 1: I mean, the whole thing is not a good look.

391
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:27,920
Speaker 1: And I don't care what anybody says. You talk about

392
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 1: guys you want in your locker room, guys you want

393
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 1: as leaders. Jalen Ramsey's an amazing player. This is not

394
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:37,360
Speaker 1: This has been an ugly, ugly show. I don't that's

395
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:40,199
Speaker 1: I know, Greg, you totally disagree with me. I just

396
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:42,439
Speaker 1: don't think it's a new found and it's different. The

397
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:44,119
Speaker 1: part that I disagree with is that this is some

398
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 1: new found phenomenon with players now Mike Dicka begged to be,

399
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:49,960
Speaker 1: you know, traded from his team. I can name five

400
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:52,920
Speaker 1: Patriots who have forced their way out with big time

401
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 1: fights and contracts. Half of them Santy Samuel Richard Seymour.

402
00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:00,440
Speaker 1: It's like this happens, this has been happening throughout NFL history.

403
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 1: Did they stop practicing when that happened? They quit in

404
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:08,480
Speaker 1: the middle of the so, but that doesn't make this. No,

405
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 1: it's like you're saying it's not I'm not history, but

406
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 1: it's tedious if you're a fan of the team, or

407
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:15,879
Speaker 1: if you're trying to run a defense and your players

408
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:18,159
Speaker 1: not practicing, or if it's your teammate and he's the

409
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 1: best player on your team. Well, we'll continue this in

410
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:22,200
Speaker 1: the Melvin Gordon discussion when we get to the charges.

411
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:25,400
Speaker 1: All right, let's move on with the number three overall pick.

412
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 1: It's the first time all year I've been nervous while

413
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:31,639
Speaker 1: other people were predicting picking game because I really wanted

414
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:35,360
Speaker 1: the Pats bills early and so I'm gonna take that. Uh,

415
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 1: this will be the first game I got to watch

416
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:39,800
Speaker 1: the Patriots live all year and it's a really great

417
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 1: way to test this defense. Thank you, thank you, you

418
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 1: know too. Three and no teams that I think needs

419
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:52,119
Speaker 1: to be tested the Patriots defense. We've only given up

420
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 1: six points this year. They've they've scored twelve. Everyone to

421
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:56,480
Speaker 1: point out they haven't played anyone. I don't care. That's

422
00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 1: still impressive. I mean, you're you're you're playing NFL teams

423
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 1: and looting the Steelers. It goes back to the Super Bowl,

424
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 1: and it's just the way they're doing it. They're playing

425
00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:09,199
Speaker 1: nineteen guys over fifteen twenty snaps a week. I I

426
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:11,520
Speaker 1: kind of think that's been slept on. It's almost it's

427
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:14,600
Speaker 1: unpreced I mean, Michael Bennett is making noise when he's

428
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 1: out there. He's playing twenty snaps a week. We got

429
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 1: John Simon out there making noise playing twenty like their

430
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,600
Speaker 1: their depth is is wild. It reminds me of like

431
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:25,720
Speaker 1: a supercharged version of what the Eagles did a few

432
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 1: years ago. I wonder if they're so rested now that

433
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 1: it's a tougher game, maybe they start whittling that group

434
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 1: down when they need it. But I don't know if

435
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 1: they will need it this Sunday because they're playing a

436
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 1: guy and Josh Allen, who I think also needs to

437
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 1: be tested. I think he's gotten a way too much

438
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 1: credit um for beating three really bad defenses and in

439
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:48,160
Speaker 1: those games accounting for five total touchdowns with seven combined

440
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:50,800
Speaker 1: interceptions and fumbles, and having a lot of bad places.

441
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 1: I mean he makes a good places too. He's kind

442
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 1: of fun to watch, not saying that he's not entertaining

443
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 1: that he's not a little better, but I want to

444
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:58,920
Speaker 1: see it against a really good defense. Like I mean,

445
00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:01,199
Speaker 1: he had a terrible turnover against the Bengals, but what

446
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 1: I think he's done is he's progressed from last year

447
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:05,680
Speaker 1: and that was the first thing they wanted to see.

448
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:07,320
Speaker 1: I think he's the right quarter a little bit though.

449
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:09,240
Speaker 1: I think that that's where I want to see him.

450
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 1: Like his his short throws, he has no touch on him.

451
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 1: He he throws it a hundred miles an hour, six

452
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 1: ft six yards away, and I don't know, I don't

453
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:19,359
Speaker 1: know if you coach that or who knows how long

454
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 1: he'll be there, But I honestly think he's he's he's

455
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 1: an okay fit for them right now, and they found

456
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 1: the right people around him with Cole Beasley and John Brown.

457
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 1: I don't like their matchup for their offense. I mean

458
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 1: any team's offense against the Patriots defense, but they particularly

459
00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 1: don't feel like they were they're set to go off.

460
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 1: They they should have scored more points in all these

461
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 1: other games. They are not an explosive attack. They they're

462
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:43,160
Speaker 1: playing the right teams while he develops until now. This

463
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 1: is this is the litmus test. But I do think

464
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:48,360
Speaker 1: the one area where it's obvious that they're much improved

465
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:51,399
Speaker 1: is the three announced are gone. That's fair. They're a

466
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:54,320
Speaker 1: very chaotic offense because of the style of play he has,

467
00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 1: which to me is very entertaining, but the three announces

468
00:23:57,080 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 1: are out of their lives. I think it's a big

469
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 1: test too for the Patriots offense, who I think also

470
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:06,160
Speaker 1: maybe gotten a little too much credit when their offensive

471
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 1: line is clearly struggling, especially in the running game. Shack Mason,

472
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 1: who's kind of there, you know, benchmark there, has probably

473
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:16,920
Speaker 1: had the worst three game stretch of his career. Plus

474
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 1: they've had big time injuries there. Josh Gordon and Tom

475
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:23,160
Speaker 1: Brady aren't really in SAT. Gordon makes highlight real plays,

476
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 1: but that's been a little up and down in this

477
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:27,359
Speaker 1: is just a much, much tougher test against a really

478
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 1: good beat. I never thought i'd say this in teen,

479
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:32,720
Speaker 1: but they lost their fullback James Devlin, who I r.

480
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:35,200
Speaker 1: I think that matters for that. That's one team where

481
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:38,720
Speaker 1: that matters. That wipes out one of their formations they use. Well,

482
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 1: that just played Jacob Johnson instead of Devlin, right maybe

483
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:46,000
Speaker 1: last year. Yeah, part of me doesn't mind it, just

484
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:48,760
Speaker 1: because you know, devil and has had a terrible start

485
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 1: of the year and whenever they've run that package with Michelle,

486
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:54,119
Speaker 1: they're not doing very well. And now I think you

487
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:57,200
Speaker 1: put Philip door Set on the field more often, maybe

488
00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 1: put Jacobi Meyers on the field more often, and that

489
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:02,359
Speaker 1: to is the way to go. The Dorset is really playing.

490
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:05,200
Speaker 1: This could be a Dorset a breakout here for Dorset.

491
00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:08,480
Speaker 1: Tom Brady thirty and three against the Bills. Now that

492
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:13,760
Speaker 1: doesn't mean anything on Sunday, but that's pretty incredible, just

493
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:16,000
Speaker 1: that number in a vacuum. I think it's one of

494
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 1: the It's one of those stats where I would say

495
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:20,399
Speaker 1: it always means something against the Bills because he and

496
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:22,359
Speaker 1: the same coach and a lot of the same people

497
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:25,440
Speaker 1: have gone and done this and thumped Buffalo over and over.

498
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:28,639
Speaker 1: He has more wins in Buffalo Stadium than any Bills quarterback.

499
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 1: Mc dermott hasn't tacked him off yet, which I think

500
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:33,639
Speaker 1: is significant. And it's another ex Patriots coach, Brian Dable

501
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:35,919
Speaker 1: calling the plays for the Bill's offense. So it's like

502
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:38,439
Speaker 1: every week it seems like they're playing. They played him

503
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 1: tough on money and I football, lst, you're very tough.

504
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:45,160
Speaker 1: Do you know how to get in Tom Brady's head? Uh?

505
00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:48,439
Speaker 1: Pass rush up the middle, up the middle, make him uncomfortable,

506
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:50,960
Speaker 1: get him moving, get him Hey, you blitz him so much,

507
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 1: he'll pick you apart. But if you can manufacture something

508
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 1: in the front flour, especially right in the middle, right

509
00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 1: up in his face mask, really cracked the coat here,

510
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 1: Dom don't like that. Yeah, for that exact reason. He's

511
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:08,359
Speaker 1: the only nephew. Who who are we doing here, Carl

512
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 1: frances So going back to Week sixteen of last year,

513
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:14,359
Speaker 1: I can't hold all of these great Patriots teams in

514
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:17,959
Speaker 1: my memory, but they are eight and oh with an

515
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 1: average score of thirty two to twelve and have a

516
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:25,359
Speaker 1: plus twenty sec differential. I think this is up there

517
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:27,440
Speaker 1: with the two thousand seven Patriots is the best stretch

518
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 1: they've ever had. As as we're talking about I didn't

519
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:33,159
Speaker 1: even consider this, but I'm gonna lock this game up

520
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:35,119
Speaker 1: in the Battle of three, and I forgot about Locks.

521
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:38,119
Speaker 1: Nice to pick the Patriots for once. I would think

522
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:41,920
Speaker 1: at a certain point, you remember Locks. It's been years. No, no,

523
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:44,119
Speaker 1: I remembered it. I was just thinking another game. But

524
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 1: as we're talking about it, sometimes the spirit moved literally

525
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:49,919
Speaker 1: loud to lock up the Patriots. About locking them up.

526
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 1: I've never locked him up in my life. I can't

527
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:54,440
Speaker 1: look at me, I can't look at the mirror, and

528
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:57,960
Speaker 1: I come, well, I've been known to switch mine, but

529
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:01,960
Speaker 1: I didn't realize we're allowed locked the Patriots up. I

530
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 1: mean all all I've heard in the last three weeks,

531
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:06,919
Speaker 1: including from me, is how competitive the Bills are. And

532
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 1: they are and it's on the road. I mean, it

533
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:11,480
Speaker 1: doesn't matter what we say. We don't have to look.

534
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:15,480
Speaker 1: I mean, this game needs to look in the mirror.

535
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 1: You live with myself all weekend. We're talking up a guy.

536
00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:23,480
Speaker 1: It's thirty and three. We have a little rule. It's basically,

537
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:25,960
Speaker 1: if it's predicted to be a one possession game. That's

538
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:27,720
Speaker 1: the rule I play by because I think you need

539
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:29,840
Speaker 1: to have rules in life. If it's picked to be

540
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:34,680
Speaker 1: a one possession game or not, then it's okay if

541
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 1: I you know, if I know, they don't bother me

542
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:38,879
Speaker 1: about the lad here, do they just know you're the

543
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:41,359
Speaker 1: good thing about going by that rule less is you

544
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 1: don't have to look in the mirror. I know. He

545
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:46,280
Speaker 1: just hey, I got a rule. It's all right, all right,

546
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:49,480
Speaker 1: so Greg locks up the Pats. I I have a

547
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:52,680
Speaker 1: terrible suspicion this is gonna be a huge letdown game,

548
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:55,639
Speaker 1: and it's gonna be thirty six to six Patriots, but

549
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 1: it would be a lot of fun. There hasn't been

550
00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:00,239
Speaker 1: a huge home game in Western New York in a

551
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 1: long time. This will be that's gonna be. Don't even

552
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:07,520
Speaker 1: feel that confident about it, even though, okay, well that's

553
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 1: a nice spin, all right, uh it is. I have

554
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:13,639
Speaker 1: the next two picks. Um, while you guys get like

555
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:16,960
Speaker 1: super excited about who's in the broadcast booth or whether

556
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:18,880
Speaker 1: the game is played on grass or under a roof.

557
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 1: If I have a chance to take Patrick Mahomes right now,

558
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 1: I'm taking Patrick Mahomes and I'm watching him. I'm spending

559
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:27,840
Speaker 1: part of my Sunday watching Patrick Mahomes playing quarterback. So

560
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:31,520
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take the UH. Although it's a technicality because

561
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:34,280
Speaker 1: you know, we all know who the Lions are, even

562
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:36,040
Speaker 1: if their fans don't know it yet. This is two

563
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 1: undefeated teams, the three in Kansas City Chiefs at the

564
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 1: Detroit Lions, who of course are to zero and one

565
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:47,080
Speaker 1: the game at Ford Field. There's been a lot of

566
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:51,600
Speaker 1: buzz brewing um Mark the last few days of people

567
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 1: getting really excited that Patrick Mahomes, as incredible as he

568
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:58,680
Speaker 1: is as as a the superpower of all superpowers at

569
00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:01,200
Speaker 1: the quarterback position right now, has never played a game

570
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 1: in a dome, and the idea that that will somehow

571
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:08,640
Speaker 1: unlock even more furious terror in his game. I'm I

572
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:10,120
Speaker 1: I don't know if I buy that. In fact, I

573
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:11,720
Speaker 1: don't buy that, but I'm just it's gonna be fun

574
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:13,160
Speaker 1: I get to watch it. I guess you could well.

575
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:15,720
Speaker 1: I think you've you've picked an exciting event to UH

576
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:17,920
Speaker 1: to track. I mean, he's on pace to throw first

577
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:20,560
Speaker 1: sixty yards, so I don't know what it means when

578
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:23,960
Speaker 1: we unlock Patrick Mahomes at this point it becomes something

579
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:29,000
Speaker 1: gay sort of human achievement. And we talk about, you know,

580
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:33,120
Speaker 1: the Bears and the Vikings are offenses from the nineties,

581
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:34,880
Speaker 1: and we're kind of like bagging on them when we

582
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 1: say that. But when I watched the Chiefs, and I,

583
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:40,200
Speaker 1: you know, initially on Sundays, it's through highlight packages because

584
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:42,400
Speaker 1: I haven't covered them, and you're watching all they do

585
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:44,600
Speaker 1: and like in a flurry of movements in three or

586
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:48,240
Speaker 1: four minutes. It reminds me of those eighty nine Niners team,

587
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:50,960
Speaker 1: like the team, like the ninety four Niners, that just

588
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 1: team the growing up on the East Coast, you never

589
00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:59,040
Speaker 1: would watch them. They would just be they'd be something

590
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 1: you just get high lights up. And it was NonStop

591
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:04,960
Speaker 1: aerial assault and destroying people doing things that no other

592
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:07,680
Speaker 1: team was doing. With the coaching staff that was doing

593
00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:09,320
Speaker 1: stuff that no one else was doing, and a Joe

594
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:12,240
Speaker 1: Montane Tanna figure who was doing things now other quarterback

595
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:16,120
Speaker 1: was doing thirty something years later. Bang Patrick Mahomes doing

596
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:17,960
Speaker 1: it all over again. They're dropping a hammer. It's a

597
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:20,360
Speaker 1: traveling show. They're gonna go into Detroit and do it again.

598
00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:23,840
Speaker 1: I always feel bad for like Jeff Greenholtz in our

599
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:27,600
Speaker 1: research department because Patrick Mahomes maked him. He just makes

600
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:30,560
Speaker 1: them waste more ink every week. It charges up the

601
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:35,040
Speaker 1: record books, every single keeps busy. Yeah. So my thoughts

602
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:36,960
Speaker 1: on this game a little dig on the Lions. Lions

603
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:38,560
Speaker 1: fans have been coming after me pretty hard on the

604
00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:41,240
Speaker 1: power rankings because I won't give them what they think

605
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 1: they deserve, which is a top ten ranking. But I

606
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:47,440
Speaker 1: will give them credit. You know, they closed out these

607
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:50,600
Speaker 1: last two games. They got some help. Uh, they caught

608
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 1: I believe the Eagles at the exact perfect time where

609
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:57,240
Speaker 1: they are injury wise. Uh. And the Chargers kind of chargers.

610
00:30:57,400 --> 00:31:02,000
Speaker 1: They charged that game. Um. But the Lines deserve credit

611
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:05,160
Speaker 1: for finding a way to win those two games. UM.

612
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:08,240
Speaker 1: So I just think this as all the recipe of

613
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 1: the by coming up from Detroit of a come down

614
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:14,240
Speaker 1: to Earth game. And Matt Matthew Stafford is playing very

615
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 1: well right now. And and I think, um that the

616
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:20,960
Speaker 1: idea that they're at home, maybe they keep things frisky,

617
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:22,640
Speaker 1: but I just don't think they have the firepower to

618
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:24,800
Speaker 1: keep up with the Chiefs. I don't think anybody does,

619
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:26,720
Speaker 1: and I certainly don't think the Lions do. I think

620
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:30,280
Speaker 1: they're in the stage of their rebuilding where their starters

621
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 1: are pretty good. They're good enough to hang in games

622
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:36,880
Speaker 1: and not be embarrassed. But if if they get injuries

623
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:38,760
Speaker 1: and a few key positions, they're done because they have

624
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:41,040
Speaker 1: no depth whatsoever. Well, they could be like they were

625
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:44,400
Speaker 1: a few years back when they made the playoffs with Caldwell.

626
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:48,040
Speaker 1: With a little breaks, I think they could be a

627
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:51,040
Speaker 1: team that wins ten games. Sure that team had in

628
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:53,880
Speaker 1: Dominican Sue and Calvin Johnson in their primes. This this

629
00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:57,000
Speaker 1: has a team that's that's fair. They're not as talented defensively,

630
00:31:57,000 --> 00:32:00,560
Speaker 1: but I think the team defense and Patricia's ability to

631
00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 1: game plan shut down Zach Ertz, we could go Justin

632
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 1: Coleman right now might be the best slot cornerback in

633
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:10,560
Speaker 1: the league. Darius Slay is playing really well. The defensive

634
00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:13,520
Speaker 1: line gives them an identity. It's not superstars, but Trey

635
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:15,840
Speaker 1: Flowers is getting like a little better each week. Ashan

636
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:19,760
Speaker 1: Robinson's good gas is there. It's they have players, and

637
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:21,520
Speaker 1: I could just see them being a little better than

638
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:23,400
Speaker 1: the some of their parts. And and if they can

639
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:25,840
Speaker 1: win the a lot of times, that sixth way wild

640
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:28,160
Speaker 1: card spot comes down to who wins close games, you know,

641
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:30,560
Speaker 1: who goes five and two and one score game, mean Slade,

642
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:33,480
Speaker 1: I hope he's available. He's he's been limited and he's

643
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 1: been hamstring entry would be Mike Daniels may not be

644
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:38,800
Speaker 1: in there. But then I flip over to the Chiefs

645
00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:40,959
Speaker 1: and they don't have Tyreek Hill and we talked about it.

646
00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:42,959
Speaker 1: You know, since he's been gone, they don't really miss him.

647
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:45,680
Speaker 1: They keep filling in the blank with new playmakers. And

648
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:49,360
Speaker 1: it's not just stopping Travis Kelsey and the Chiefs. It's

649
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:53,840
Speaker 1: now Nicole Hardman, It's it's it's multiple Mason. Andy Reid

650
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:56,840
Speaker 1: told the Beard and the Birds in the Making Andy

651
00:32:56,840 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 1: Reid in September is a phenomenon. It's like you could

652
00:32:59,880 --> 00:33:02,400
Speaker 1: have you bought a down payment on a house in

653
00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:04,840
Speaker 1: l A betting on Andy Read in September. The last

654
00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:10,800
Speaker 1: four with Alex Smith, this is totally different. They come

655
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:12,880
Speaker 1: out and they just they just they just have an

656
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:15,400
Speaker 1: advantage where the league hasn't caught up to whatever they're

657
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:18,280
Speaker 1: doing yet. A lot of intensity in the studio right now, Hey,

658
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:20,680
Speaker 1: this is what we need if you're a Lions fan.

659
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:25,720
Speaker 1: In the next three weeks, Chiefs at Green Bay Vikings

660
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:28,440
Speaker 1: win one of those games. It's not gonna be easy,

661
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:30,440
Speaker 1: but find a way to those they will. They're not

662
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 1: they're not They're not the old Lions in the sense

663
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:39,240
Speaker 1: that they're going to totally collapse. All right, Well that's

664
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:41,520
Speaker 1: that's three quarters of the least. Well, I'm just saying

665
00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:44,360
Speaker 1: they have no depth. Five picks up. Can we get

666
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:47,080
Speaker 1: riggy next week? Effective next week? And nice like a

667
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:52,080
Speaker 1: snake sound effect when we snake? Yeah, that sounds kind

668
00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 1: of gross. You really want that little like something first

669
00:33:56,920 --> 00:34:00,400
Speaker 1: four a in two grotesque sounds clips. You can just

670
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:04,040
Speaker 1: do it for today down that'll be great. Alright, So, yes,

671
00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:07,600
Speaker 1: I took an early game. Now, strategy wise, I feel

672
00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:12,440
Speaker 1: somewhat confident, Um that you guys both having we have

673
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:15,040
Speaker 1: two people that have picked late games. I don't want

674
00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:16,440
Speaker 1: to get left out in the cold here, so I'm

675
00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:19,240
Speaker 1: gonna stick Greg with the all early slate and grab

676
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:24,000
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay at l a rams a late game. And I, um,

677
00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:25,880
Speaker 1: I'm really into this game actually, so it kind of

678
00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:30,080
Speaker 1: works out. Um. One takeaway I had from watching The

679
00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:34,759
Speaker 1: Bucks Giants and you know, Danny Dines stole that show

680
00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:40,680
Speaker 1: with good reason. Um, but jamis Winston was really fun

681
00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:46,200
Speaker 1: in that game. And you know, you know, I don't

682
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:49,360
Speaker 1: think it's an even a discussion anymore. Jameis Winston against

683
00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:52,360
Speaker 1: Marcus Mariota. I think James playing the worst dens in

684
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:54,640
Speaker 1: the NFL. And you're, hey, you have some grand takeaway

685
00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:56,799
Speaker 1: from it. My grand takeaway is that he pushes the

686
00:34:56,800 --> 00:35:00,799
Speaker 1: ball down field. He's he's not boring his l and

687
00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:04,800
Speaker 1: uh and he is a much more dynamic downfield thrower

688
00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:09,200
Speaker 1: than your boy Mariota. Everybody's a more welcome welcome to

689
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:13,759
Speaker 1: Davis Winston Island at this point. Now I've got some

690
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:17,080
Speaker 1: stuff for him later. Now, Winston, yes, he's very much

691
00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:19,719
Speaker 1: still a question mark in the in the organization. I'm

692
00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:22,239
Speaker 1: just saying yes. And you made the good points that

693
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:26,279
Speaker 1: generics Jenkins got absolutely torched by Mike Evans in this

694
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:29,799
Speaker 1: game last week. But this is that was a good

695
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:32,319
Speaker 1: game for Winston to to build on. And if Matt

696
00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:35,360
Speaker 1: Gay doesn't blow that game, that forty four yard reception

697
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:38,000
Speaker 1: at the end of regulation would have been a massive

698
00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:40,399
Speaker 1: building block for the Bucks. So I kind of I'm

699
00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:42,279
Speaker 1: interested to see how they follow that game. Now they

700
00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:45,120
Speaker 1: got to travel and play the Rams, who are the Rams,

701
00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:48,040
Speaker 1: and they're a good defensive. If Winston reverts back to

702
00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:50,840
Speaker 1: a turnover machine and a guy that doesn't move the

703
00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:54,239
Speaker 1: ball consistently, Um, you'll look good, West, I'll look bad.

704
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:57,480
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna say that maybe for a few years.

705
00:35:57,480 --> 00:36:01,319
Speaker 1: Maybe we we talked about on this show last week, Um,

706
00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:03,319
Speaker 1: you know what's going on. Bruce Arians came out of

707
00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:06,359
Speaker 1: came out of retirement to watch Todd Bowles get all

708
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:09,239
Speaker 1: the shine on the sideline. Well, nice little building block

709
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:11,160
Speaker 1: last week. Let's see what they do against the Rams.

710
00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:15,359
Speaker 1: I'm more I'm also worried. Not worried, but how good

711
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:17,719
Speaker 1: is this Bucks defense gonna be? Week after week? We've

712
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:22,200
Speaker 1: kind of seen teams use, uh, the Bears model from

713
00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:25,280
Speaker 1: a year ago to help slow down that Rams offense.

714
00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:28,160
Speaker 1: The Patriots used it where you have kind of six

715
00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:31,400
Speaker 1: guys on the line of scrimmage, you have a safety

716
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:34,200
Speaker 1: you know on these crossers trying to shut those down.

717
00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:36,359
Speaker 1: You're trying to shut down the outside zone. And it's

718
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:39,840
Speaker 1: been pretty effective. You know. Sean mcveigh's tried to adjust

719
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:44,640
Speaker 1: and they've had incremental improvement. But all the talk of

720
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:46,200
Speaker 1: how the Rams don't look the same in the Rams

721
00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:48,080
Speaker 1: and look at well, that's true about the offense and

722
00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:51,600
Speaker 1: the special teams. Their defense is two better their fourth

723
00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:55,080
Speaker 1: right now in defensive efficiency. Wade Phillips adds, you know

724
00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:58,640
Speaker 1: Eric Weddle and Clay Matthews, and this defense is is

725
00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:00,480
Speaker 1: pretty wild. It was a lot of out there all

726
00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:03,160
Speaker 1: in rams last year, which I thought was phony. They

727
00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:05,239
Speaker 1: are kind of all in on their defense right now.

728
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:07,279
Speaker 1: Here are the free agents on their team next year,

729
00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:11,440
Speaker 1: Michael Brocker's keep to leave, Marcus Peters, Dante Fowler, and

730
00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:13,840
Speaker 1: then you know, Weddll and Matthews are on these deals

731
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:15,799
Speaker 1: where they may be here or not. I mean that

732
00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:17,879
Speaker 1: that this is a veteran, grown man team. I think

733
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:20,120
Speaker 1: they're ready to just win some games for the some

734
00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:22,000
Speaker 1: of those guys I wouldn't I don't mind moving on

735
00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:25,239
Speaker 1: from and finding younger pieces to fit in. But looking

736
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:28,600
Speaker 1: what Aaron Donald did last week to Cleveland, and he's

737
00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:31,680
Speaker 1: and and and Winston is not the same guy. And

738
00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:35,240
Speaker 1: we've seen then this throughout when you're suddenly putting heavy

739
00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:38,440
Speaker 1: pressure on him and he's forced to make Jamis Winston

740
00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:41,160
Speaker 1: type decisions, and I would love to see how he

741
00:37:41,239 --> 00:37:44,840
Speaker 1: survives this matchup with with with Aaron Donald coming at him,

742
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:47,080
Speaker 1: and I guess from Dan the litmus test when it

743
00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:49,439
Speaker 1: comes to Jamis Winston. It's fine to say and I

744
00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:51,560
Speaker 1: you know, he's having a game here there on someone

745
00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:53,839
Speaker 1: else's team. If I were a fan of a team

746
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:56,560
Speaker 1: and he were my quarterback, I would not be signing

747
00:37:56,640 --> 00:37:58,640
Speaker 1: up for that at all. Based on the body of work,

748
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:02,279
Speaker 1: I'd want him out. The Rams defense, I think is

749
00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:04,640
Speaker 1: right there behind the forty Niners and Packards for most

750
00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:08,080
Speaker 1: improved in the entire league. And their offense. We spent

751
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:11,160
Speaker 1: Tuesday asking when case Keenan was gonna be replaced. We

752
00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:13,480
Speaker 1: spent the early portion of this show wondering when Joe

753
00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:16,400
Speaker 1: Flacco is gonna be replaced. Both of those quarterbacks have

754
00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:20,799
Speaker 1: a higher drive success rate this year than the Rams offense. Well, well,

755
00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:24,360
Speaker 1: you're gonna take it the step further. When are we

756
00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:27,799
Speaker 1: gonna see Blake Bortles replaced? But I guess not. What

757
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:30,879
Speaker 1: is this is a big game for well, two more

758
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:32,920
Speaker 1: players I'm looking to see in this game. Shaq Barrett.

759
00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:35,600
Speaker 1: He's got eight sacks going at how many sacks had

760
00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:38,719
Speaker 1: less two weeks? Seven seven sacks. Well, let's see what

761
00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:40,400
Speaker 1: he does against the Rams O line. That's been a

762
00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:44,720
Speaker 1: little up and down. And uh, the other thing Todd Gurley,

763
00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:47,680
Speaker 1: you know again Sean McVeigh this week is addressing his workload,

764
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:50,560
Speaker 1: whether he's on a on a pitch count or whatever.

765
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:54,239
Speaker 1: He denies it all. Gurley has not been had a

766
00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:57,280
Speaker 1: big Todd Gurley week yet this season. And this comes

767
00:38:57,320 --> 00:38:59,520
Speaker 1: on the heels of an off season or we wondered

768
00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:01,760
Speaker 1: if Todd a he was gone forever. If he doesn't

769
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:05,440
Speaker 1: do anything against his Bucks defense at home and what

770
00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:08,480
Speaker 1: seems like a good spot, I'm gonna start wondering if

771
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:10,640
Speaker 1: if this is just what it is now he he

772
00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:15,160
Speaker 1: doesn't seem that he's special enough at this moment to

773
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:19,840
Speaker 1: overcome the situation around him, which isn't good. Their offensive

774
00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:23,080
Speaker 1: line has been pretty bad. I think Andrew Whitworth starts

775
00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:26,000
Speaker 1: of the year might be the number one concerned deep

776
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:29,440
Speaker 1: in the hearts of Ram's headquarters, because this is one

777
00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:32,000
Speaker 1: of the best left tackles in the league. Who's what

778
00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:36,480
Speaker 1: thirty nine or forty and he's getting beaten week after week. Now.

779
00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:39,320
Speaker 1: He's played some good opponents, but that it's just surprising

780
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:41,360
Speaker 1: to see. I'd be stunned at the Rams fall in

781
00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:43,319
Speaker 1: this game. They've been on the road twice and been

782
00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:47,040
Speaker 1: really resilient in tough games, and they've got Wade Phillips

783
00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:48,920
Speaker 1: and I when when it comes to Shack Barrett, I

784
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:52,680
Speaker 1: love these early season explosions from players because I would

785
00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:55,040
Speaker 1: almost put a sandwich on it that he ends up

786
00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:57,759
Speaker 1: with nine sacks. He has eight right now and he

787
00:39:57,760 --> 00:40:01,600
Speaker 1: finishes the year with nine because that I'm not it's

788
00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:04,520
Speaker 1: not an anti Shack, but it's not an anti Shack

789
00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:06,400
Speaker 1: Barrett take. It's just that that stuff happens in the

790
00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:09,399
Speaker 1: NFL all the time, where there was these little explosions,

791
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:12,319
Speaker 1: and it's a little anti Shack Barrett. He's the he's

792
00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:15,680
Speaker 1: he's the person in the slot. I'm talking about it.

793
00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:18,120
Speaker 1: Just this stuff happens. And you know, I always check Barrett,

794
00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:20,040
Speaker 1: by the way, in the Super Bowl that we went to,

795
00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:23,320
Speaker 1: had a great game as the third guy behind the

796
00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:26,319
Speaker 1: Marcus ware and on Miller, and here he is now

797
00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:29,440
Speaker 1: five years later being a star. Mark. I'm conceding our

798
00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:33,560
Speaker 1: gardner minshow Josh Debs, Josh Dobbs sandwich, I need to

799
00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:36,120
Speaker 1: make up some ground. Let's make it ten sacks. What

800
00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:40,200
Speaker 1: was the context of gardeners Josh Dobbs would start at

801
00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:43,560
Speaker 1: least more fools comes back, not because of an injury,

802
00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:46,600
Speaker 1: and I'm waving the white flag on that, okay, but

803
00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:48,759
Speaker 1: I went in on Shack Barrett and I'll give you ten,

804
00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:53,040
Speaker 1: not nine like legitimately not Shaq Barrett related. It's just

805
00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:57,719
Speaker 1: that early season stat explosions that everyone clean. No, you're

806
00:40:57,760 --> 00:40:59,520
Speaker 1: not going to get in on it at all. I'll

807
00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:03,000
Speaker 1: try that. One last thing. Hated the play calling by

808
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:04,399
Speaker 1: the Bucks at the end of that game. They should

809
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:06,319
Speaker 1: have that game should have been sealed up. They got

810
00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:08,520
Speaker 1: very conservative. Maybe that again goes back to they don't

811
00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:10,520
Speaker 1: trust Jamis Win. You mean giving the field goal kicker

812
00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:13,440
Speaker 1: a longer kick or just everything the leading up to that.

813
00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:16,000
Speaker 1: And by the way, I hit a fifty two yard

814
00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:18,080
Speaker 1: or in that game, it's worth stop letting McKay off

815
00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:21,600
Speaker 1: the hook. He also missed an extra point another one,

816
00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:24,920
Speaker 1: but he not only did he did uh did arians

817
00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:27,719
Speaker 1: take the delay of game when they did the move

818
00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:30,160
Speaker 1: to to line it up. That was another negative two yards.

819
00:41:30,160 --> 00:41:34,919
Speaker 1: They backed up seven. Yeah, I don't know why that anything,

820
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:37,279
Speaker 1: but missed. But they their last two possessions they went

821
00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:40,240
Speaker 1: um three runs and out punt back to the Giants.

822
00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:43,839
Speaker 1: Giants did nothing and then went uh eight yard run

823
00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:46,239
Speaker 1: on first down, one yard run on third down, and

824
00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:49,520
Speaker 1: then a really crappy tight end swing pass that went

825
00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:51,960
Speaker 1: for nothing. You have Mike Evans who cannot be covered.

826
00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:55,120
Speaker 1: Go win the ball game anyway. Let's move on, Greg,

827
00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:58,439
Speaker 1: You're up. I'm just gonna take Greg's up. I am,

828
00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:01,080
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna take the last four o'clock gamer man,

829
00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:03,160
Speaker 1: And even though no one else would, would probably take

830
00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:06,080
Speaker 1: it just because I'm interested to watch this matchup of

831
00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:10,160
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray and Russell Wilson. Kyler Murray has been up

832
00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:12,440
Speaker 1: and down. You know their twenty nine right now in

833
00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:15,799
Speaker 1: yards per play. It would look better last week if

834
00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:18,080
Speaker 1: they had caught a couple of his nice deep throws.

835
00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:21,200
Speaker 1: But this Cardinals team is still searching. They cut Michael

836
00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:23,680
Speaker 1: Crabtree this week. I'm really watching this game because Russell

837
00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:25,960
Speaker 1: Wilson is balling out and he's fun to watch right now.

838
00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:29,120
Speaker 1: He's kind of having that season reminds me a little

839
00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:31,360
Speaker 1: bit of Ben Roethlisberger in the middle of his career,

840
00:42:31,400 --> 00:42:36,200
Speaker 1: where his mental experience and command of the game now

841
00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:40,520
Speaker 1: matches his athleticism, where his his physical prowess is at

842
00:42:40,560 --> 00:42:43,120
Speaker 1: his peak. His mental side of it is at his peak.

843
00:42:43,320 --> 00:42:46,480
Speaker 1: And if he was working for a different organization or

844
00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:48,600
Speaker 1: a different coordinator, I mean he'd be an m v

845
00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:50,600
Speaker 1: P candidate. I mean, maybe he will be in the

846
00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:52,719
Speaker 1: long run anyways, if he keeps up this space. But

847
00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:54,600
Speaker 1: he he is playing lights out. I don't know how

848
00:42:54,640 --> 00:42:56,360
Speaker 1: much that you're basing on the scene scheme, but I

849
00:42:56,440 --> 00:42:59,040
Speaker 1: thought he did some amazing things in a game where

850
00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:01,400
Speaker 1: they were down twenty seven to seven at one point.

851
00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:03,920
Speaker 1: All three weeks, he's really looked great. Yeah, he's and

852
00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:06,239
Speaker 1: you you described it really well where he's at in

853
00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:08,799
Speaker 1: his career. And I'm interested to see what happens with

854
00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:12,359
Speaker 1: Chris Carson because he's I imagine Chris Carson on another team,

855
00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:15,960
Speaker 1: imagine him on Bill Belichick's Patriots, where you've lost three fumbles,

856
00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:18,080
Speaker 1: you've hurt the team every week. But he is a

857
00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:21,280
Speaker 1: good player who Pete Carroll has shown faith in again

858
00:43:21,360 --> 00:43:23,799
Speaker 1: this week. But it wasn't just the fumbles. Last week.

859
00:43:23,840 --> 00:43:27,120
Speaker 1: He was terrible all around and looks slow and lead footed,

860
00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:29,200
Speaker 1: And maybe it was the shoes in the rain because

861
00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:31,040
Speaker 1: he had no footing. He switched his cleats in the

862
00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:33,680
Speaker 1: middle of that, he looked awful and the Saints. I

863
00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:36,320
Speaker 1: thought the Saints beat him up. But this but Seattle

864
00:43:36,360 --> 00:43:39,120
Speaker 1: to me, uh, they're They're so fun to watch no

865
00:43:39,160 --> 00:43:41,239
Speaker 1: matter what's going on. I mean they to me. The

866
00:43:41,320 --> 00:43:43,160
Speaker 1: one killer mistake they would have been in that game

867
00:43:43,239 --> 00:43:46,560
Speaker 1: last week had they taken a time out before the

868
00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:48,880
Speaker 1: past to dk metcalf right before the half where he

869
00:43:48,880 --> 00:43:51,279
Speaker 1: catches like a fifty four yard or sets them up

870
00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:52,880
Speaker 1: to take a shot at the end zone or kick

871
00:43:52,920 --> 00:43:54,880
Speaker 1: a field goal, and they don't. That was a weird

872
00:43:54,920 --> 00:43:57,359
Speaker 1: Pete Carroll move that hurt them in the second half.

873
00:43:57,400 --> 00:43:59,560
Speaker 1: And there's there. How many Seahawks games are there where

874
00:43:59,600 --> 00:44:02,359
Speaker 1: you're having to score twenty one points in the fourth

875
00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:04,640
Speaker 1: quarter to climb back in out of a slow start.

876
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:08,279
Speaker 1: They continue to start really slow. Russell Wilson is a

877
00:44:08,280 --> 00:44:11,319
Speaker 1: bit of a feaster famine quarterback the way his style is,

878
00:44:12,040 --> 00:44:14,640
Speaker 1: and the Seahawks are one of only four teams that

879
00:44:14,719 --> 00:44:17,160
Speaker 1: have at least thirteen drives where they punted or turned

880
00:44:17,160 --> 00:44:19,480
Speaker 1: the ball over without picking up a first down. They

881
00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:21,839
Speaker 1: have a lot of negative drives. The Cardinals are one

882
00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:23,600
Speaker 1: of the other. A lot of it though, is because

883
00:44:23,640 --> 00:44:25,879
Speaker 1: he's always in third and long because you know they're

884
00:44:25,960 --> 00:44:28,840
Speaker 1: running on first and second down and they're running and

885
00:44:28,840 --> 00:44:32,319
Speaker 1: they're run blocking his thirty. According to football outsiders, they've

886
00:44:32,320 --> 00:44:34,000
Speaker 1: they've taken a big step back. You would think this

887
00:44:34,040 --> 00:44:36,759
Speaker 1: would be a get right game for their offense. But

888
00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:39,040
Speaker 1: I thought Murray last was last week was the one

889
00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:42,360
Speaker 1: game where he threw a couple terrible picks where he

890
00:44:42,520 --> 00:44:46,360
Speaker 1: hurt them with with weird wayward passes. Not just the offense,

891
00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:49,600
Speaker 1: not you know, living up to its height. It was

892
00:44:49,640 --> 00:44:52,200
Speaker 1: a weird game because about three three and a half

893
00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:55,560
Speaker 1: quarters in, I was thinking myself, they're making some progress

894
00:44:55,560 --> 00:44:58,720
Speaker 1: here a little bit this, they're moving the ball, David

895
00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:01,680
Speaker 1: Johnson looks really good. And then the wheels came off

896
00:45:01,760 --> 00:45:04,680
Speaker 1: hideously in the fourth quarter for the Cardinals and it

897
00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:07,359
Speaker 1: was like, oh, they're kind of and they're using Kyler

898
00:45:07,440 --> 00:45:09,480
Speaker 1: Murray to run a little bit last week, which was

899
00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:12,080
Speaker 1: fun to see. And Russell Wilson's running a lot this year.

900
00:45:12,080 --> 00:45:16,360
Speaker 1: I little matchup of under six foot quarterbacks. You know,

901
00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:22,000
Speaker 1: I'm taking it short, guys, what up? I mean? I

902
00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:27,200
Speaker 1: feel like every time I see him, he's not the

903
00:45:27,280 --> 00:45:29,520
Speaker 1: same size as Greg and I at least not body

904
00:45:29,640 --> 00:45:32,920
Speaker 1: mass index. He's gonna be like three ft and there

905
00:45:32,960 --> 00:45:35,439
Speaker 1: there are some like a helmet like running around tiny

906
00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:37,799
Speaker 1: feet underneath. Like I I go to, you know, my

907
00:45:37,880 --> 00:45:40,759
Speaker 1: daughter's elementary school, and there are some girls in that

908
00:45:40,880 --> 00:45:46,879
Speaker 1: school that are like the Frosty san alright. Next up

909
00:45:47,160 --> 00:45:50,760
Speaker 1: is Mark Seler. I mean, I'm gonna go Cleveland at Baltimore,

910
00:45:50,760 --> 00:45:52,560
Speaker 1: which I you know, another year I would have just

911
00:45:52,640 --> 00:45:55,200
Speaker 1: taken with my first pick, and I'm getting what would

912
00:45:55,200 --> 00:45:57,480
Speaker 1: have been my first pick with the eighth pick here.

913
00:45:57,600 --> 00:45:59,680
Speaker 1: I thought about taking it. You don't think I would

914
00:45:59,680 --> 00:46:01,880
Speaker 1: like why in that game, but I don't want to

915
00:46:01,920 --> 00:46:05,600
Speaker 1: get this thing. That's the thing, that's that's the mind game.

916
00:46:05,680 --> 00:46:07,839
Speaker 1: I played the alets that I thought no one would

917
00:46:07,840 --> 00:46:09,960
Speaker 1: take the Browns game from me, and I was going

918
00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:12,040
Speaker 1: to take Bills. New England didn't take you for you.

919
00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:15,479
Speaker 1: So we're operating in unison. I am going to drop

920
00:46:15,520 --> 00:46:17,680
Speaker 1: Cleveland at some point here if they continue along the

921
00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:23,160
Speaker 1: current trajectory, drop picking them like my Sunday watch and

922
00:46:23,239 --> 00:46:24,560
Speaker 1: use you know, watch them in the middle of the

923
00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:27,040
Speaker 1: nothing like a team that you support. I mean, there

924
00:46:27,040 --> 00:46:31,279
Speaker 1: have been arguments for that along the way. Weird, I

925
00:46:31,320 --> 00:46:33,560
Speaker 1: guess it would I'm not about to do that as

926
00:46:33,560 --> 00:46:37,160
Speaker 1: a fan, but I you know, and I would say,

927
00:46:37,239 --> 00:46:41,319
Speaker 1: and I feel like I was suspicious dating through the

928
00:46:41,480 --> 00:46:45,200
Speaker 1: entire summer, and I never bought into this media creation

929
00:46:45,239 --> 00:46:47,000
Speaker 1: that they're going to soar into the super Bowl with

930
00:46:47,080 --> 00:46:50,560
Speaker 1: a coach that's never coached the Super Bowl. I did

931
00:46:50,560 --> 00:46:56,000
Speaker 1: that as a as a total. That's all I have.

932
00:46:56,200 --> 00:46:58,600
Speaker 1: I have said over and over that there were concerns,

933
00:46:58,640 --> 00:47:01,239
Speaker 1: and it's played out entirely, and it's it's at this

934
00:47:01,320 --> 00:47:04,759
Speaker 1: point when you say, what is it that's wrong with them?

935
00:47:04,800 --> 00:47:07,040
Speaker 1: You could point to so many different things. It could

936
00:47:07,080 --> 00:47:09,080
Speaker 1: be the experience of Freddie Kitchens. It could be an

937
00:47:09,080 --> 00:47:11,560
Speaker 1: offense that I look at. I went back and watched

938
00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:14,840
Speaker 1: two games from last year, one where they absolutely thumped

939
00:47:14,840 --> 00:47:17,959
Speaker 1: the Falcons, and I don't see the same offense. They're

940
00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:20,399
Speaker 1: not running the same place. They're not using their wide

941
00:47:20,400 --> 00:47:23,320
Speaker 1: receivers the same way. The wide receivers based on whether

942
00:47:23,400 --> 00:47:26,040
Speaker 1: it's third and four or second and eight or third

943
00:47:26,040 --> 00:47:28,839
Speaker 1: and eighteen or not running routes that make a lot

944
00:47:28,840 --> 00:47:31,680
Speaker 1: of sense. Nick Chubb has I love this offense when

945
00:47:31,680 --> 00:47:34,200
Speaker 1: it went through and funneled through Nick Chubb, and they

946
00:47:34,360 --> 00:47:37,080
Speaker 1: they've gone. Although he played a ton of snaps against

947
00:47:37,080 --> 00:47:40,080
Speaker 1: the Rams, that wasn't what was happening there. Baker Mayfield

948
00:47:40,120 --> 00:47:43,040
Speaker 1: obviously is getting absolutely destroyed in the press for what

949
00:47:43,040 --> 00:47:45,320
Speaker 1: he's saying in press conferences and his field play. On

950
00:47:45,360 --> 00:47:48,640
Speaker 1: the field, Yes, he looks very confused. I still believe

951
00:47:48,719 --> 00:47:50,960
Speaker 1: him as a quarterback, but he is having a really

952
00:47:51,040 --> 00:47:53,239
Speaker 1: rough start, and I think it's the offense around him.

953
00:47:53,480 --> 00:47:55,640
Speaker 1: Steve Wilkes is doing a great job with the defense.

954
00:47:55,640 --> 00:47:59,000
Speaker 1: That's gonna been completely lost in. What everyone talks about

955
00:47:59,280 --> 00:48:02,120
Speaker 1: is a team that needs their defense to hold someone

956
00:48:02,160 --> 00:48:04,680
Speaker 1: else to twelve points to win a game. I I've

957
00:48:04,719 --> 00:48:08,640
Speaker 1: watched Bad Brown's offenses before where you feel like they're

958
00:48:08,680 --> 00:48:11,080
Speaker 1: stuck and they cannot get out of their own way.

959
00:48:11,120 --> 00:48:13,600
Speaker 1: This feels that as much as any other that I

960
00:48:13,640 --> 00:48:16,440
Speaker 1: can remember. Because of who's on the field. It's really

961
00:48:16,440 --> 00:48:19,120
Speaker 1: depressing to watch. I can't believe I'm saying that compared

962
00:48:19,160 --> 00:48:21,080
Speaker 1: to what we thought in the summer in the off season.

963
00:48:21,160 --> 00:48:24,120
Speaker 1: But they're playing the right defense to get well. The

964
00:48:24,200 --> 00:48:27,680
Speaker 1: Ravens secondary. They gave up three fifty yards the Kyler Murray,

965
00:48:27,680 --> 00:48:30,600
Speaker 1: who hasn't done anything versus any other defense, and they

966
00:48:30,600 --> 00:48:33,600
Speaker 1: looked bad last week against Mahomes. Everybody looks bad against Mahomes.

967
00:48:33,600 --> 00:48:35,719
Speaker 1: But they're injured a little bit in the secondary, They're

968
00:48:35,719 --> 00:48:38,040
Speaker 1: not getting much pass rush and people are passing all

969
00:48:38,080 --> 00:48:40,560
Speaker 1: over this defense. Yeah, I think they miss c J.

970
00:48:40,760 --> 00:48:44,640
Speaker 1: Mosley and Tavon Young, who is their slot cornerback, both

971
00:48:44,640 --> 00:48:47,240
Speaker 1: a lot because Jimmy Smith's been out. Teams are killing

972
00:48:47,280 --> 00:48:49,400
Speaker 1: them in the slot. I think it's what Anthony Everett,

973
00:48:49,440 --> 00:48:52,759
Speaker 1: and then they they miss Moseley a lot that the

974
00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:55,480
Speaker 1: middle linebacker. Teams are throwing all over them. And and

975
00:48:55,520 --> 00:48:58,440
Speaker 1: I kind of want to see Earl Thomas get a

976
00:48:58,440 --> 00:49:01,440
Speaker 1: little more comfortable here. He hasn't really made a difference.

977
00:49:01,480 --> 00:49:03,400
Speaker 1: That was my big question that I wrote down for

978
00:49:03,440 --> 00:49:06,080
Speaker 1: this game, just how much has the Ravens defense decline,

979
00:49:06,080 --> 00:49:08,160
Speaker 1: Because I think it's it's fair to say it's declined.

980
00:49:08,200 --> 00:49:11,040
Speaker 1: They've lost some talent, but they've played teams at such

981
00:49:11,040 --> 00:49:14,040
Speaker 1: opposite extremes with the Dolphins and the Cardinals and the

982
00:49:14,160 --> 00:49:15,839
Speaker 1: Chiefs that I actually think this is a good test

983
00:49:15,880 --> 00:49:18,280
Speaker 1: because I think if you are a pretty good defense,

984
00:49:18,360 --> 00:49:21,600
Speaker 1: this Brown's offense is very stoppable. But I think it's

985
00:49:21,600 --> 00:49:23,719
Speaker 1: a test on both sides that that actually it's not

986
00:49:23,760 --> 00:49:26,799
Speaker 1: a bad matchup. On the subject of solidarity, it did

987
00:49:26,840 --> 00:49:29,319
Speaker 1: cross my mind to lock up the Ravens in this game,

988
00:49:29,360 --> 00:49:30,920
Speaker 1: but I don't want to go that route because we

989
00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:33,839
Speaker 1: sit next to each other market downstairs on Sundays. I mean,

990
00:49:33,840 --> 00:49:35,600
Speaker 1: I locked up against the Browns last year. I know

991
00:49:35,600 --> 00:49:37,839
Speaker 1: where you're coming from. Yeah, but it did cross my

992
00:49:37,880 --> 00:49:40,120
Speaker 1: mind that it would make sense because I do. I

993
00:49:40,200 --> 00:49:42,040
Speaker 1: love the Ravens at home in this game, and I

994
00:49:42,080 --> 00:49:44,839
Speaker 1: think the Browns they could certainly I put them same

995
00:49:44,920 --> 00:49:47,560
Speaker 1: level favorites as Patriots Bills. By the way, I well,

996
00:49:47,560 --> 00:49:49,640
Speaker 1: I just brown looked at some stats a few minutes ago,

997
00:49:49,640 --> 00:49:51,319
Speaker 1: and they it would not have been a lockable game

998
00:49:51,400 --> 00:49:53,719
Speaker 1: from what I saw. The Browns are a team that

999
00:49:53,800 --> 00:49:56,840
Speaker 1: I absolutely can see getting it together at some point.

1000
00:49:57,000 --> 00:49:59,120
Speaker 1: Let's hope they do. Otherwise it's gonna be one of

1001
00:49:59,120 --> 00:50:01,799
Speaker 1: the bigger bus seasons of the decade. Um. I think

1002
00:50:01,840 --> 00:50:03,560
Speaker 1: they will put it together. I just don't think it's

1003
00:50:03,560 --> 00:50:05,520
Speaker 1: gonna be this week. I think it's a bad matchup

1004
00:50:05,520 --> 00:50:07,840
Speaker 1: and bad timing for them, and I I like the

1005
00:50:07,880 --> 00:50:10,240
Speaker 1: Ravens a lot in this game. Sometimes it's it's about

1006
00:50:10,239 --> 00:50:12,719
Speaker 1: who you play early in the season. And what they

1007
00:50:12,800 --> 00:50:17,360
Speaker 1: show on film. And I think the coordinators, and this

1008
00:50:17,440 --> 00:50:19,279
Speaker 1: has been written about Steve and Ruiz did a good

1009
00:50:19,280 --> 00:50:22,399
Speaker 1: piece on for the win, have shown Babe. You've been

1010
00:50:22,400 --> 00:50:25,200
Speaker 1: disguising coverages for Baker Mayfield, showing them a lot of

1011
00:50:25,200 --> 00:50:27,800
Speaker 1: different looks than changing after a snap, and that's just worked.

1012
00:50:28,080 --> 00:50:29,880
Speaker 1: So all three teams have just kind of done that

1013
00:50:29,920 --> 00:50:32,240
Speaker 1: and he doesn't know what he's seeing. He's just not confident.

1014
00:50:32,440 --> 00:50:34,360
Speaker 1: I mean, he played his old d C. He played

1015
00:50:34,719 --> 00:50:37,400
Speaker 1: Wade Phillips. Now I've got the Ravens coming in and

1016
00:50:37,400 --> 00:50:39,879
Speaker 1: I it's not been a good draw for the team

1017
00:50:39,920 --> 00:50:42,640
Speaker 1: you're playing this week for the Browns either. But Mayfield

1018
00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:46,279
Speaker 1: is another example that these quarterbacks are not going to

1019
00:50:46,360 --> 00:50:48,880
Speaker 1: be made in seven or eight games. There's Patrick Mahomes,

1020
00:50:48,920 --> 00:50:52,640
Speaker 1: but then there's like nine percent of the population. Cleveland's

1021
00:50:52,680 --> 00:50:54,840
Speaker 1: got two cornerbacks that they might not play again. In

1022
00:50:54,920 --> 00:50:57,160
Speaker 1: Denzil a Ward and reading it's like, I just I

1023
00:50:57,800 --> 00:51:03,240
Speaker 1: it's not a good set of breaking news. The NFL

1024
00:51:03,360 --> 00:51:07,920
Speaker 1: just dropped a tweet announcing the Super Bowl forty four.

1025
00:51:08,320 --> 00:51:15,480
Speaker 1: What are wet CLXI four halftime show? It is j

1026
00:51:15,640 --> 00:51:19,640
Speaker 1: Lo and Shakira and a co headline I like that.

1027
00:51:20,760 --> 00:51:23,600
Speaker 1: Tread carefully boys your thoughts. I think you were right

1028
00:51:23,600 --> 00:51:29,280
Speaker 1: when you save forty four. No, I mean Shakira ish

1029
00:51:29,520 --> 00:51:32,440
Speaker 1: of the now. Hey, we're in Miami, it makes sense, Jlo.

1030
00:51:32,560 --> 00:51:35,040
Speaker 1: Is she an owner? I don't think she's. I don't think,

1031
00:51:35,640 --> 00:51:37,360
Speaker 1: but I think you know, with the musical roots in

1032
00:51:37,400 --> 00:51:41,000
Speaker 1: that city, Jlo, Shakira, there's been worse ones that we've covered.

1033
00:51:41,080 --> 00:51:42,920
Speaker 1: It is a very same You're gonna, you know, go

1034
00:51:43,120 --> 00:51:46,319
Speaker 1: go trot out the Who with their walkers again. It's

1035
00:51:46,320 --> 00:51:48,160
Speaker 1: a very safe pick. And I'll tell you why. First

1036
00:51:48,160 --> 00:51:50,120
Speaker 1: of all, this is the first rock nation they're involved

1037
00:51:50,120 --> 00:51:53,040
Speaker 1: with this. Now, Um, you got killed. You were in

1038
00:51:53,080 --> 00:51:55,600
Speaker 1: one of the all time American cities for hip hop

1039
00:51:56,080 --> 00:51:59,440
Speaker 1: last year and you booked Maroon five and that was

1040
00:51:59,600 --> 00:52:01,680
Speaker 1: that was out to move. They work, You got you.

1041
00:52:01,680 --> 00:52:04,280
Speaker 1: You you shipped in a big boy to get a

1042
00:52:04,360 --> 00:52:07,120
Speaker 1: verse in, but otherwise it was just not the right field.

1043
00:52:07,200 --> 00:52:10,759
Speaker 1: So now we're in Miami, which has of course a

1044
00:52:10,800 --> 00:52:15,640
Speaker 1: strong Latino vibe to it. So you get uh, j Low,

1045
00:52:15,960 --> 00:52:19,440
Speaker 1: you get to get Shakira with the Colombian mix. Where

1046
00:52:19,480 --> 00:52:21,920
Speaker 1: I get where they're going with this. You're killing perfect.

1047
00:52:22,000 --> 00:52:24,080
Speaker 1: It's a perfect I mean, there's nothing to argue about.

1048
00:52:24,280 --> 00:52:26,520
Speaker 1: Hips don't like come on, I mean you you tell me.

1049
00:52:26,560 --> 00:52:28,399
Speaker 1: Mark Sessler is not going to be damn. I think

1050
00:52:28,400 --> 00:52:32,080
Speaker 1: it's very good for you know, going and seeing hustlers.

1051
00:52:32,160 --> 00:52:37,080
Speaker 1: J Low's right now, you're ahead of the saw on

1052
00:52:37,080 --> 00:52:40,279
Speaker 1: Friday to Mark. Don't worry. They combined them. They have

1053
00:52:40,640 --> 00:52:43,960
Speaker 1: multiple bangers. And I think I remember, this is a

1054
00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:47,480
Speaker 1: halftime show for a football game. Let's not overthink it.

1055
00:52:47,520 --> 00:52:49,040
Speaker 1: People are going to kill the half top show no

1056
00:52:49,080 --> 00:52:52,200
Speaker 1: matter what. Now you're gonna have two beautiful women doing

1057
00:52:53,040 --> 00:52:56,160
Speaker 1: their already. Of people that don't watch football, they watch

1058
00:52:56,200 --> 00:52:58,799
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl for the halftime show. And I think

1059
00:52:58,800 --> 00:53:02,040
Speaker 1: that this is a widely strong This is a good pick.

1060
00:53:02,960 --> 00:53:06,560
Speaker 1: Good pick. And made peace with the fact never going

1061
00:53:06,600 --> 00:53:09,399
Speaker 1: to be the Super four million dollars worth of fireworks

1062
00:53:09,560 --> 00:53:11,920
Speaker 1: in like eight seconds of eight minutes of music. You're

1063
00:53:11,920 --> 00:53:13,960
Speaker 1: not gonna beat justin Timberlake. But this is this is

1064
00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:16,719
Speaker 1: good for Miami. I like it all right, West, you're

1065
00:53:16,800 --> 00:53:18,879
Speaker 1: up well there, this is a steel It is late

1066
00:53:18,880 --> 00:53:23,439
Speaker 1: in the draft, but Carolina Panthers at Houston Texans. Nice pick,

1067
00:53:23,880 --> 00:53:26,600
Speaker 1: thank you, and you're coming around of the Texans, so

1068
00:53:26,960 --> 00:53:30,960
Speaker 1: nice job and Deshaun Watson so fun to watch, And

1069
00:53:31,040 --> 00:53:35,280
Speaker 1: wouldn't it be funny if Bill O'Brien and his pastor

1070
00:53:35,360 --> 00:53:37,600
Speaker 1: friends started getting some pop for Executive of the Year

1071
00:53:38,120 --> 00:53:47,400
Speaker 1: Stop easter be Look, he's got Carlos hidingeld got Kenny Stills,

1072
00:53:47,440 --> 00:53:50,440
Speaker 1: who was you know, the afterthought and the Larry Larry

1073
00:53:50,560 --> 00:53:53,400
Speaker 1: Tunsil trade making big plays every week. There's only a

1074
00:53:53,440 --> 00:53:55,480
Speaker 1: handful of players in the NFL with more big plays

1075
00:53:55,480 --> 00:53:58,080
Speaker 1: than Kenny Stills this year. At wide receiver, you got

1076
00:53:58,160 --> 00:53:59,919
Speaker 1: the rookies on the old line, both of them start

1077
00:54:00,040 --> 00:54:02,840
Speaker 1: did last week. Both of the guys they drafted started

1078
00:54:02,920 --> 00:54:05,080
Speaker 1: last week, tight As Howard and Max Sharping, and they

1079
00:54:05,080 --> 00:54:07,640
Speaker 1: had the best pass pass protection to Shaun Watson's had

1080
00:54:07,680 --> 00:54:10,920
Speaker 1: this year. To me that the Texans look like the

1081
00:54:10,960 --> 00:54:13,080
Speaker 1: class of the a f C sat They completely on

1082
00:54:13,120 --> 00:54:16,680
Speaker 1: the fly after Lamar Miller blew out his knee. Not

1083
00:54:16,920 --> 00:54:19,080
Speaker 1: terrible for him, but maybe the best thing that happened

1084
00:54:19,120 --> 00:54:22,120
Speaker 1: to their backfield because they had to, basically on the fly,

1085
00:54:22,239 --> 00:54:24,560
Speaker 1: come up with a new uh set up and you

1086
00:54:24,600 --> 00:54:27,160
Speaker 1: get Duke Johnson and Carlos Hide over the course of

1087
00:54:27,160 --> 00:54:29,359
Speaker 1: what like ten days or whatever it was, and they're

1088
00:54:29,440 --> 00:54:32,560
Speaker 1: nice pairing and uh, yeah, I'm I'm totally with you

1089
00:54:32,640 --> 00:54:36,799
Speaker 1: West that I think that. Yeah, everything, everything's working with

1090
00:54:36,840 --> 00:54:39,000
Speaker 1: them right now. And I could see them getting hot

1091
00:54:39,000 --> 00:54:41,120
Speaker 1: and let me just say something West, And I don't

1092
00:54:41,120 --> 00:54:44,799
Speaker 1: want to steal your thunder here, but I'm off to

1093
00:54:44,840 --> 00:54:47,520
Speaker 1: an oh and three starting the locks, and I I

1094
00:54:47,600 --> 00:54:49,719
Speaker 1: have to remember where I came from. What saved me

1095
00:54:49,800 --> 00:54:51,640
Speaker 1: last year, what kept me in the running was getting

1096
00:54:51,640 --> 00:54:54,279
Speaker 1: behind my Texans and going for a ride with them

1097
00:54:54,360 --> 00:54:56,440
Speaker 1: during their winning streak. So I'm gonna do it right now.

1098
00:54:56,440 --> 00:54:58,760
Speaker 1: I'm gonna lock up the Texans. We are too intent

1099
00:54:58,840 --> 00:55:01,680
Speaker 1: as a group so far. I'm gonna lock up the Texans.

1100
00:55:02,440 --> 00:55:05,160
Speaker 1: Uh And I know, um, there will be some people

1101
00:55:05,200 --> 00:55:09,200
Speaker 1: that are gonna say Kyle, Kyle Murray and Kyle Allen, Yes, yes,

1102
00:55:09,360 --> 00:55:12,440
Speaker 1: Kyle all is named by Sunday Night, that he'll come

1103
00:55:12,440 --> 00:55:14,960
Speaker 1: in and he'll throw four more touchdowns and all that. Well,

1104
00:55:15,040 --> 00:55:16,680
Speaker 1: let's let's see you do it against J. J. Watt

1105
00:55:16,680 --> 00:55:19,759
Speaker 1: and Whitney Merciless. That's fine. I would I would say

1106
00:55:19,800 --> 00:55:23,320
Speaker 1: one thing though, Kyle Allen's some of these like burst

1107
00:55:23,320 --> 00:55:26,279
Speaker 1: out of the gate starts feel a little flukey and

1108
00:55:26,360 --> 00:55:28,160
Speaker 1: it would even have been fair to You want to

1109
00:55:28,200 --> 00:55:30,160
Speaker 1: see three or four weeks of Gardner Minsho or three

1110
00:55:30,200 --> 00:55:32,880
Speaker 1: or four years, that's fine with Kyle Allen. And I

1111
00:55:33,000 --> 00:55:35,520
Speaker 1: never put anything into the week seventeen start from last year.

1112
00:55:35,640 --> 00:55:39,080
Speaker 1: But if you combine what he's done over to operations

1113
00:55:39,120 --> 00:55:41,879
Speaker 1: to two full starts, he's been great. And the way

1114
00:55:41,960 --> 00:55:43,919
Speaker 1: through the ball and the way the offense came to life.

1115
00:55:44,040 --> 00:55:47,120
Speaker 1: I thought the passing game with him last week it's

1116
00:55:47,719 --> 00:55:49,840
Speaker 1: I get that the whole Cam Newton discussion is for

1117
00:55:49,840 --> 00:55:52,920
Speaker 1: another time, but he was doing stuff that Cam Newton

1118
00:55:53,120 --> 00:55:56,200
Speaker 1: was not doing previously. And I think they're they're more

1119
00:55:56,320 --> 00:55:58,799
Speaker 1: dangerous with him in there if he doesn't flip the

1120
00:55:58,800 --> 00:56:00,960
Speaker 1: switch and turn into something letely different. If he plays

1121
00:56:00,960 --> 00:56:03,080
Speaker 1: like that unlike min Minshew, I want to see more

1122
00:56:03,120 --> 00:56:05,600
Speaker 1: of Kyle Allen kind of looks like a guy who

1123
00:56:05,680 --> 00:56:07,560
Speaker 1: was a five star recruit and was ranked as the

1124
00:56:07,640 --> 00:56:10,600
Speaker 1: number one high school recruit in the country, beat out

1125
00:56:10,680 --> 00:56:14,279
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray once for a starting quarterback job. I mean,

1126
00:56:14,320 --> 00:56:17,640
Speaker 1: what a crazy route that he's had that he's ultimately

1127
00:56:17,640 --> 00:56:20,320
Speaker 1: playing better now than he did at Houston, which was

1128
00:56:20,360 --> 00:56:22,520
Speaker 1: the final place he went to college. He came out early,

1129
00:56:22,600 --> 00:56:25,200
Speaker 1: even though he only played four games there before he

1130
00:56:25,280 --> 00:56:28,160
Speaker 1: was benched. It's it's just crazy, it's just wild. But

1131
00:56:28,200 --> 00:56:30,880
Speaker 1: he doesn't look like a guy who's like overachieving. He

1132
00:56:30,920 --> 00:56:33,040
Speaker 1: looks like a guy that belongs. He has great touch,

1133
00:56:33,120 --> 00:56:35,880
Speaker 1: great rhythm. Um. I've been impressed with that. To me,

1134
00:56:35,920 --> 00:56:38,400
Speaker 1: the key matchup is that defensive line for the Texans,

1135
00:56:39,040 --> 00:56:41,200
Speaker 1: and there's a guy, a fifth round rookie they drafted

1136
00:56:41,239 --> 00:56:44,200
Speaker 1: named Charles and Mena Hugh who's on that defensive line

1137
00:56:44,239 --> 00:56:47,200
Speaker 1: and has really played well early in a rotational rule.

1138
00:56:47,560 --> 00:56:50,480
Speaker 1: In addition to DJ reader J J. Watt, Whitney merciless

1139
00:56:50,760 --> 00:56:54,360
Speaker 1: against the Panthers offensive line that really has struggled sometimes

1140
00:56:54,360 --> 00:56:56,600
Speaker 1: to pass protection. I think Alan and the Texans O

1141
00:56:56,719 --> 00:57:01,160
Speaker 1: line were maybe the two most surprising evelatory moments of

1142
00:57:01,239 --> 00:57:03,279
Speaker 1: last week, and now they're kind of going against each

1143
00:57:03,280 --> 00:57:05,480
Speaker 1: other back. I like this lock for you, Dan I,

1144
00:57:05,520 --> 00:57:09,000
Speaker 1: and I'm with you that the Texans are certainly the

1145
00:57:09,040 --> 00:57:11,680
Speaker 1: most talented team in the a f C South, and

1146
00:57:11,680 --> 00:57:14,040
Speaker 1: I think they certainly should be the favorite. As much

1147
00:57:14,040 --> 00:57:16,840
Speaker 1: as I like the Colts, the Texans, if they're firing

1148
00:57:16,840 --> 00:57:19,680
Speaker 1: on all cylinders, they're better. We talked about the quarterbacks

1149
00:57:19,760 --> 00:57:24,520
Speaker 1: that are have replaced their starters On Tuesday's show, who

1150
00:57:24,600 --> 00:57:26,520
Speaker 1: is the most likely to hold on to the job

1151
00:57:26,720 --> 00:57:29,240
Speaker 1: if they got got hot, like legit hot over a

1152
00:57:29,240 --> 00:57:31,560
Speaker 1: course of a month, would it be Alan? There's no

1153
00:57:31,600 --> 00:57:34,640
Speaker 1: way that that Minshew would take nick foles job, right.

1154
00:57:34,680 --> 00:57:36,200
Speaker 1: I don't know why. I don't know why we'd say

1155
00:57:36,200 --> 00:57:39,480
Speaker 1: no way with anyone, but the money. The money with

1156
00:57:39,560 --> 00:57:42,760
Speaker 1: Nick Foles problematic, but I wouldn't say no way with anyone.

1157
00:57:42,880 --> 00:57:44,960
Speaker 1: I think I'm Newton presents some issues. I think Minshew

1158
00:57:44,960 --> 00:57:48,560
Speaker 1: would have a better chance than Kyle Allen in less

1159
00:57:48,600 --> 00:57:50,919
Speaker 1: Allen's having like an m v P type of season

1160
00:57:50,960 --> 00:57:54,280
Speaker 1: where he's clearly a top five NFL quarterback. I think

1161
00:57:54,360 --> 00:57:57,400
Speaker 1: Newton just gets his job back. Whereas if Minshew's keeping

1162
00:57:57,400 --> 00:57:59,800
Speaker 1: the train rolling and they're winning and he's good, they

1163
00:57:59,840 --> 00:58:02,200
Speaker 1: might they might ride. Then you're selling tickets right now.

1164
00:58:02,240 --> 00:58:05,120
Speaker 1: They Nick Foles has like what ten snaps in his

1165
00:58:05,200 --> 00:58:07,080
Speaker 1: Jaguar's career, and Cam Newton has an m v P

1166
00:58:07,160 --> 00:58:08,920
Speaker 1: and his Panther's career. Mark makes a good point, though

1167
00:58:08,920 --> 00:58:11,640
Speaker 1: there's no absolutes. I mean, if Kyle Allen goes seven

1168
00:58:11,640 --> 00:58:15,120
Speaker 1: and one and has twenty four touchdowns in one pick.

1169
00:58:15,320 --> 00:58:17,000
Speaker 1: It's like, I don't know, you're not gonna take them out.

1170
00:58:17,000 --> 00:58:19,800
Speaker 1: It's just wild. Can I ask a snake related question?

1171
00:58:20,320 --> 00:58:22,000
Speaker 1: How is this going this way? Are we out of

1172
00:58:22,120 --> 00:58:23,720
Speaker 1: order again? I was? I don't think so. I think

1173
00:58:23,720 --> 00:58:26,400
Speaker 1: it's under control. So I go again here, Yes, it's

1174
00:58:26,400 --> 00:58:30,520
Speaker 1: Snake's West. Okay, keep up everybody. Oh okay, I thought

1175
00:58:30,520 --> 00:58:34,120
Speaker 1: that you picked. You just locked again. It's not. I

1176
00:58:34,120 --> 00:58:36,320
Speaker 1: didn't say, I don't. I also don't claim to know

1177
00:58:36,360 --> 00:58:37,720
Speaker 1: how the way that I know that I'm right has

1178
00:58:37,760 --> 00:58:39,880
Speaker 1: actually wrote it out now, so I track it picked

1179
00:58:39,920 --> 00:58:43,280
Speaker 1: by pick. Then no more questions. West, You're up again.

1180
00:58:44,400 --> 00:58:46,160
Speaker 1: So I'm not gonna be able to pay much attention

1181
00:58:46,200 --> 00:58:51,840
Speaker 1: to this game. Ye see what happens? Oh, somebody blew it?

1182
00:58:52,880 --> 00:58:55,120
Speaker 1: See what happens? No, I mean that's all of us.

1183
00:58:55,120 --> 00:58:58,040
Speaker 1: We are second game for for a certain time slot.

1184
00:58:58,080 --> 00:59:02,000
Speaker 1: You can't I can do to keep an eye on two.

1185
00:59:03,320 --> 00:59:06,880
Speaker 1: Dan has better powers of concentration and just football tape

1186
00:59:06,880 --> 00:59:09,160
Speaker 1: watching the year. My TV game is always going to

1187
00:59:09,200 --> 00:59:12,600
Speaker 1: be number one, and then I have my casting on

1188
00:59:12,720 --> 00:59:15,400
Speaker 1: my laptop game, which is not going to get the

1189
00:59:15,400 --> 00:59:17,320
Speaker 1: same amount of But by the end of the game.

1190
00:59:17,360 --> 00:59:19,320
Speaker 1: I could tell you what happened, but the key is

1191
00:59:19,360 --> 00:59:21,840
Speaker 1: that you turn the volume up to levels on both

1192
00:59:21,960 --> 00:59:25,160
Speaker 1: TVs that drowns out everyone else's. So that's that's one

1193
00:59:25,160 --> 00:59:29,240
Speaker 1: way to that works. That works. Well, what you are

1194
00:59:29,240 --> 00:59:31,200
Speaker 1: my TV is too loud. I don't know what's going

1195
00:59:31,480 --> 00:59:35,680
Speaker 1: but I'm not going to change my ways. We know that.

1196
00:59:36,600 --> 00:59:39,080
Speaker 1: Actually it is you bring it up anytime. Let's say

1197
00:59:39,120 --> 00:59:42,000
Speaker 1: I change the channel and it's the volume spikes and

1198
00:59:42,000 --> 00:59:43,760
Speaker 1: it has not. It's not my fault that just challenge changes.

1199
00:59:43,800 --> 00:59:47,440
Speaker 1: Marcos like this well, because so just if people now

1200
00:59:47,480 --> 00:59:51,000
Speaker 1: that we're visual, the cubicle wall between you and me

1201
00:59:51,120 --> 00:59:54,680
Speaker 1: is right here, and Dan has literally two interests from

1202
00:59:54,720 --> 00:59:57,120
Speaker 1: my ear and he plays the TV at volume like

1203
00:59:57,280 --> 00:59:59,240
Speaker 1: and it's and I'm not the only one that's I

1204
00:59:59,320 --> 01:00:00,880
Speaker 1: never even said, don you thingcause I knew it would

1205
01:00:00,880 --> 01:00:04,080
Speaker 1: get so critiqued. It's like volume eight next like an

1206
01:00:04,080 --> 01:00:06,040
Speaker 1: inchrom my ear. Part of me doesn't hate it actually

1207
01:00:06,040 --> 01:00:10,160
Speaker 1: because I kind of hear, um, what's not what I

1208
01:00:10,160 --> 01:00:14,120
Speaker 1: want to do? Okay, everyone, you know, if you listen

1209
01:00:14,160 --> 01:00:16,600
Speaker 1: to the podcast, this is the part of the show.

1210
01:00:16,720 --> 01:00:20,520
Speaker 1: To just fast forward to video section the previous minute.

1211
01:00:21,960 --> 01:00:25,760
Speaker 1: Listen to you know me, I got a journalism, grew

1212
01:00:25,800 --> 01:00:28,400
Speaker 1: up in a newsroom. Okay, newsroom is not a quiet place.

1213
01:00:28,440 --> 01:00:30,439
Speaker 1: It's not a library. It's always gonna be a little

1214
01:00:30,440 --> 01:00:33,560
Speaker 1: bit amplified. I make no apologies. We we we fully

1215
01:00:33,640 --> 01:00:38,720
Speaker 1: understand that you embrace that self concept. Pick West, I'm

1216
01:00:38,760 --> 01:00:43,320
Speaker 1: going back and forth here. I'm gonna settle on the

1217
01:00:43,320 --> 01:00:47,800
Speaker 1: Titans versus the Falcons. Done me a favor. I know

1218
01:00:47,880 --> 01:00:51,720
Speaker 1: I did everyone a favor there because I wanted. It's

1219
01:00:51,720 --> 01:00:53,800
Speaker 1: not it's terrible game with two teams that are hard

1220
01:00:53,800 --> 01:00:57,320
Speaker 1: to watch. I know that was the point. I see

1221
01:00:57,320 --> 01:00:58,880
Speaker 1: your strategy. Yeah, I want to see if this is

1222
01:00:58,880 --> 01:01:03,120
Speaker 1: the last death throws of Marcus Mariota's career. May get

1223
01:01:03,120 --> 01:01:06,400
Speaker 1: a little QB switch. It's a big challenge room here.

1224
01:01:05,920 --> 01:01:10,400
Speaker 1: They are dead last in past protection according to Football Outsiders.

1225
01:01:10,400 --> 01:01:12,600
Speaker 1: They've they lost both of their starting guards in the

1226
01:01:12,600 --> 01:01:15,320
Speaker 1: off season, and they only signed one guy, Roger Staffold,

1227
01:01:15,320 --> 01:01:18,280
Speaker 1: to replace those two guards. They've been missing Taylor Lawan.

1228
01:01:18,840 --> 01:01:21,520
Speaker 1: Now that's one thing we know. The past protection is terrible,

1229
01:01:22,520 --> 01:01:25,840
Speaker 1: But Marcus Mariotta turns pressure into sacks at the highest

1230
01:01:25,920 --> 01:01:28,959
Speaker 1: rate of any quarterback in the NFL. It's a bad

1231
01:01:29,000 --> 01:01:32,400
Speaker 1: combination with enough blame to go around. Where a guy

1232
01:01:32,440 --> 01:01:35,280
Speaker 1: like Corey Davis, who was drafted in the top five

1233
01:01:35,320 --> 01:01:38,760
Speaker 1: picks of the draft, has four touchdowns in like thirtysomething

1234
01:01:38,840 --> 01:01:42,360
Speaker 1: career games. Their receivers are not very good, their offensive

1235
01:01:42,360 --> 01:01:44,640
Speaker 1: line is not very good, the running game isn't on track,

1236
01:01:44,640 --> 01:01:48,800
Speaker 1: their play caller isn't very good. UM and Marcus Mariota,

1237
01:01:48,880 --> 01:01:52,400
Speaker 1: this stat, I think really defines who he is. In

1238
01:01:52,520 --> 01:01:54,880
Speaker 1: twenty two of his fifty eight career starts, he has

1239
01:01:54,960 --> 01:01:59,360
Speaker 1: zero touchdowns, zero passing touchdowns. That is the highest rate

1240
01:01:59,440 --> 01:02:02,000
Speaker 1: of anybody since he's been in the league. Eli Manning

1241
01:02:02,040 --> 01:02:05,240
Speaker 1: his second and he just got benched. Um And it's

1242
01:02:05,280 --> 01:02:08,560
Speaker 1: the highest rate for any quarterback in his first fifty

1243
01:02:08,560 --> 01:02:11,680
Speaker 1: eight starts over the past twenty years. He just doesn't

1244
01:02:11,680 --> 01:02:15,320
Speaker 1: throw enough touchdowns. And that's the job. They've thrown a

1245
01:02:15,360 --> 01:02:17,600
Speaker 1: lot of coordinators at him too. I mean, maybe none

1246
01:02:17,600 --> 01:02:20,680
Speaker 1: of them are Sean McVeigh, but after four coordinators or

1247
01:02:20,680 --> 01:02:23,640
Speaker 1: whatever it's been, I mean, what that comment. That's a

1248
01:02:23,640 --> 01:02:25,680
Speaker 1: great way to break it down with. But you could also,

1249
01:02:25,720 --> 01:02:28,280
Speaker 1: just as you try to build a case for Marks Marioti,

1250
01:02:28,360 --> 01:02:30,120
Speaker 1: you look at his numbers career wise, every year it's

1251
01:02:30,120 --> 01:02:32,600
Speaker 1: like thirteen touchdowns, fourteen touches. I mean, this is two

1252
01:02:32,640 --> 01:02:35,840
Speaker 1: thousand nineteen. This is not anymore. Mike Sando from The

1253
01:02:35,880 --> 01:02:38,479
Speaker 1: Athletic had a quote from an NFL executive who says,

1254
01:02:38,560 --> 01:02:40,640
Speaker 1: you look at some of his numbers and they're okay,

1255
01:02:40,720 --> 01:02:42,520
Speaker 1: and then you look again and they're just not okay.

1256
01:02:42,720 --> 01:02:45,120
Speaker 1: Doesn't enough, he doesn't pass the eye test. And in

1257
01:02:45,160 --> 01:02:48,280
Speaker 1: a game where the Falcons defensive line I think is

1258
01:02:48,320 --> 01:02:51,600
Speaker 1: deeper this year and plays better at home, at least

1259
01:02:51,440 --> 01:02:53,560
Speaker 1: the one time they've been at home, they played with

1260
01:02:53,600 --> 01:02:56,400
Speaker 1: their hair on fire. And you you're going up against

1261
01:02:56,400 --> 01:02:59,720
Speaker 1: a real professional offense. I'm not really that worried about

1262
01:02:59,760 --> 01:03:02,000
Speaker 1: the Alkins. I think they're gonna be in the mix

1263
01:03:03,040 --> 01:03:04,840
Speaker 1: as even though they're a little boring. I think they're

1264
01:03:04,960 --> 01:03:06,600
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna be very much in the mix

1265
01:03:06,680 --> 01:03:08,960
Speaker 1: this year. Mason Rudolph had his many possessions by the

1266
01:03:08,960 --> 01:03:10,760
Speaker 1: middle of the second quarter, as Matt Ryan had in

1267
01:03:10,800 --> 01:03:13,360
Speaker 1: the entire game. List right six possessions out tied for

1268
01:03:13,440 --> 01:03:16,640
Speaker 1: the fewest. I made research look this up because I'm

1269
01:03:16,680 --> 01:03:23,200
Speaker 1: into possessions. It's only about Mendoza. He was happy to

1270
01:03:23,240 --> 01:03:26,520
Speaker 1: do it. He said, well, three teams. I heard what

1271
01:03:26,560 --> 01:03:28,120
Speaker 1: he said in the cubicle when I walked by, and

1272
01:03:28,160 --> 01:03:31,200
Speaker 1: the way to the only three other teams is in

1273
01:03:31,200 --> 01:03:34,480
Speaker 1: the last twenty years had had that few amount of possessions.

1274
01:03:34,480 --> 01:03:39,240
Speaker 1: Technically it was seven. Technically, yeah, they exclude Neil downs.

1275
01:03:39,360 --> 01:03:42,080
Speaker 1: The Officially, I wouldn't put the Falcons in the same

1276
01:03:42,240 --> 01:03:47,640
Speaker 1: category of unwatchable, uh problematics. As as the Titans feel

1277
01:03:47,680 --> 01:03:51,840
Speaker 1: like an I got you gotta win this game. I

1278
01:03:51,840 --> 01:03:53,640
Speaker 1: thought the big game for these two teams. They came

1279
01:03:53,680 --> 01:03:55,800
Speaker 1: into the season rather faceless and it takes a little

1280
01:03:55,800 --> 01:03:58,080
Speaker 1: bit of work to get for me to get out

1281
01:03:58,120 --> 01:04:00,000
Speaker 1: of that zone with me. There's like five or six

1282
01:04:00,080 --> 01:04:03,240
Speaker 1: teams like that. But watching them against the Colts like

1283
01:04:03,360 --> 01:04:06,600
Speaker 1: not Ryan, He's gonna throw a killer interception in the game,

1284
01:04:06,840 --> 01:04:09,000
Speaker 1: and then he's going to do five or six things

1285
01:04:09,040 --> 01:04:14,360
Speaker 1: involving Julio Jones that phenomenal he got super right, was

1286
01:04:14,400 --> 01:04:16,160
Speaker 1: thinking was nine for nine or ten for ten at

1287
01:04:16,200 --> 01:04:20,280
Speaker 1: one point as they climb back into that he's a

1288
01:04:20,280 --> 01:04:23,960
Speaker 1: good quarterback. I don't know why people always picking at him. Well,

1289
01:04:24,000 --> 01:04:26,000
Speaker 1: I think it's because in the last couple of years,

1290
01:04:26,040 --> 01:04:29,439
Speaker 1: I think the coordinator switches have hurt Matt Ryan more

1291
01:04:29,840 --> 01:04:32,040
Speaker 1: than Marcus Mariota because I don't know. He's going to

1292
01:04:32,120 --> 01:04:35,800
Speaker 1: Theay Matt Ryan, He's going to the Hall of Fame.

1293
01:04:36,160 --> 01:04:38,200
Speaker 1: He's got a shot, he's got an m v P,

1294
01:04:38,600 --> 01:04:40,760
Speaker 1: and he years a little I don't know, are going

1295
01:04:40,800 --> 01:04:42,840
Speaker 1: to be out of this world. By the time he's retires,

1296
01:04:42,880 --> 01:04:45,080
Speaker 1: He's gonna be one of the most. He might break

1297
01:04:45,120 --> 01:04:47,640
Speaker 1: all of Brady and breezes past. He could really use

1298
01:04:47,680 --> 01:04:51,520
Speaker 1: another January moment. Yeah, no, I agree with that, but

1299
01:04:51,640 --> 01:04:53,360
Speaker 1: he's got an m v P. He's been a top

1300
01:04:53,440 --> 01:04:57,040
Speaker 1: five quarterback heck of a lot more times than than

1301
01:04:57,120 --> 01:05:01,800
Speaker 1: Eli or some other It is similar though when his number, Yes, absolutely,

1302
01:05:02,000 --> 01:05:04,800
Speaker 1: but its second baseball. When you look at steroid rain

1303
01:05:04,880 --> 01:05:08,000
Speaker 1: now with the ball juice, home run guys aren't what

1304
01:05:08,040 --> 01:05:11,400
Speaker 1: they used to be. Is Matt Ryan going to be um?

1305
01:05:11,400 --> 01:05:13,040
Speaker 1: It will be held against them that he put up

1306
01:05:13,040 --> 01:05:14,640
Speaker 1: great numbers, but in an era where a lot of

1307
01:05:14,640 --> 01:05:16,280
Speaker 1: guys had great numbers. And then he's like, all right,

1308
01:05:16,280 --> 01:05:18,160
Speaker 1: what else did he do this area? He might have

1309
01:05:18,200 --> 01:05:20,920
Speaker 1: six good years left all pros, So he's got a

1310
01:05:20,920 --> 01:05:24,640
Speaker 1: wild They got that they don't get hit as much anymore.

1311
01:05:24,760 --> 01:05:28,080
Speaker 1: All right, Uh, that was the Snake pick with Chris

1312
01:05:28,120 --> 01:05:31,000
Speaker 1: Westling mark your final pick of the draft, and thank you,

1313
01:05:31,040 --> 01:05:35,200
Speaker 1: and I apologize for not necessary for two items, questioning

1314
01:05:35,240 --> 01:05:37,560
Speaker 1: that anyone knew how the Snake Draft worked, and secondly,

1315
01:05:38,000 --> 01:05:40,800
Speaker 1: you can watch your games anyway you please on Sunday.

1316
01:05:40,840 --> 01:05:43,600
Speaker 1: We've been doing you guys. So funny that that we've

1317
01:05:43,600 --> 01:05:46,080
Speaker 1: been doing this for like seven or eight years downstairs

1318
01:05:46,520 --> 01:05:48,840
Speaker 1: and it comes up for the first time because I

1319
01:05:48,840 --> 01:05:50,920
Speaker 1: would say, I would say it was something that was

1320
01:05:51,040 --> 01:05:53,600
Speaker 1: not It was very a low level issue because we've

1321
01:05:53,680 --> 01:05:56,120
Speaker 1: laughed about once or twice because we're friends and it's

1322
01:05:56,160 --> 01:05:58,000
Speaker 1: just a funny little thing. I don't know that we

1323
01:05:58,120 --> 01:06:00,640
Speaker 1: not have no one really uh can't. It's not some

1324
01:06:00,800 --> 01:06:03,320
Speaker 1: burning issue. We don't know. You know, when you're when

1325
01:06:03,360 --> 01:06:05,960
Speaker 1: your friends, you know, you drive each other a little bit,

1326
01:06:06,000 --> 01:06:08,439
Speaker 1: a little around. You're missing the point that it didn't

1327
01:06:08,480 --> 01:06:11,400
Speaker 1: come up for eight years because it was I wouldn't

1328
01:06:11,400 --> 01:06:13,240
Speaker 1: say it was even an issue until a year ago

1329
01:06:13,400 --> 01:06:15,360
Speaker 1: or two years ago. My hearing is going, I don't

1330
01:06:15,400 --> 01:06:18,760
Speaker 1: know all I'm taking and I don't need to see

1331
01:06:18,760 --> 01:06:20,560
Speaker 1: one of these teams ever again. But I like who

1332
01:06:20,600 --> 01:06:23,960
Speaker 1: they're playing. I'm taking the Redskins at the Giants. I

1333
01:06:23,720 --> 01:06:26,960
Speaker 1: I actually watched the Redskins game in real time on

1334
01:06:27,000 --> 01:06:29,560
Speaker 1: Monday night. Maybe you all did too. I questioned that

1335
01:06:29,640 --> 01:06:32,920
Speaker 1: decision after uh, they are They're tough on the eyes

1336
01:06:32,960 --> 01:06:35,600
Speaker 1: in my opinion, and they are heading in the wrong direction,

1337
01:06:35,640 --> 01:06:38,320
Speaker 1: and I don't like the organization. I think it's hopeful

1338
01:06:38,760 --> 01:06:42,520
Speaker 1: that Colt McCoy was a full participant participant practice this week.

1339
01:06:42,720 --> 01:06:44,880
Speaker 1: Case Keenum is practicing too, but he's in a walking move.

1340
01:06:44,920 --> 01:06:46,439
Speaker 1: But I would much rather like to see a little

1341
01:06:46,440 --> 01:06:49,320
Speaker 1: bit of cult McCoy on Sunday. If Case mckenham gets

1342
01:06:49,600 --> 01:06:53,000
Speaker 1: battered and destroyed the way he was on Monday night

1343
01:06:53,000 --> 01:06:54,880
Speaker 1: against the Bears. It feels like every time you hit

1344
01:06:54,960 --> 01:06:57,800
Speaker 1: case Keenum hard, he's gonna lose the ball. He fumbles

1345
01:06:57,840 --> 01:06:59,200
Speaker 1: the ball, it gets knocked out of his hands. But

1346
01:06:59,240 --> 01:07:01,280
Speaker 1: if you don't hit him to get like the Dante

1347
01:07:01,360 --> 01:07:04,080
Speaker 1: Moncrief of quarterbacks, it's too much. It's too much. You're

1348
01:07:04,120 --> 01:07:06,800
Speaker 1: not going anywhere. The Cults to me are sorry. The

1349
01:07:06,840 --> 01:07:09,800
Speaker 1: Giants to me, we've already discussed this on the Tuesday Show.

1350
01:07:10,240 --> 01:07:11,880
Speaker 1: They this is the game I think would have been

1351
01:07:11,920 --> 01:07:15,000
Speaker 1: the dead easy last pick in this draft when they

1352
01:07:15,040 --> 01:07:20,120
Speaker 1: had Eli Manning there obviously intriguing still out there, I

1353
01:07:20,120 --> 01:07:22,880
Speaker 1: already know that's my game. Well, there's some stinkers, but

1354
01:07:22,960 --> 01:07:24,960
Speaker 1: this is you know, I think people felt safe to

1355
01:07:25,000 --> 01:07:28,800
Speaker 1: wait on this one. The Giants without Sequon Barkley. I

1356
01:07:28,800 --> 01:07:31,760
Speaker 1: I don't know, like they are Giants fans able to

1357
01:07:31,760 --> 01:07:34,040
Speaker 1: watch this team now and say I don't really care

1358
01:07:34,040 --> 01:07:36,320
Speaker 1: about Odell Beckham not being on this team either. Maybe

1359
01:07:36,320 --> 01:07:39,160
Speaker 1: with this quarterback and the way that certain quarterbacks come

1360
01:07:39,160 --> 01:07:41,040
Speaker 1: in and just make the parts that are there in

1361
01:07:41,120 --> 01:07:43,479
Speaker 1: place work kind of reminds me of like Jacoby percent

1362
01:07:43,680 --> 01:07:45,640
Speaker 1: with the Cults, where you lose a bunch of people,

1363
01:07:45,640 --> 01:07:47,960
Speaker 1: but you just make it worth work with what's around you.

1364
01:07:48,400 --> 01:07:52,000
Speaker 1: That that's the Giants. Last week I talk about Kyle Allen.

1365
01:07:52,120 --> 01:07:53,600
Speaker 1: I want to see game two. I want to see

1366
01:07:53,600 --> 01:07:56,040
Speaker 1: game two of this It's exciting. But if I'm a

1367
01:07:56,040 --> 01:07:58,400
Speaker 1: Giants fan, I want to see Daniel Jones with Odell Beckham,

1368
01:07:58,400 --> 01:08:01,080
Speaker 1: Evan Ingram and Sterling Chef. I. I that seems like

1369
01:08:01,080 --> 01:08:03,440
Speaker 1: a better idea. I do too, But I'm just saying,

1370
01:08:03,520 --> 01:08:07,160
Speaker 1: you don't mean you're a fan of the team. You're

1371
01:08:07,200 --> 01:08:10,200
Speaker 1: not stuck in those decisions anymore. If this quarterback works out,

1372
01:08:10,240 --> 01:08:12,400
Speaker 1: it's a better way to put it in. And um,

1373
01:08:13,240 --> 01:08:15,480
Speaker 1: two things that I noticed. I watched it this morning,

1374
01:08:15,520 --> 01:08:18,639
Speaker 1: so I love all the all the lab work you're

1375
01:08:18,680 --> 01:08:23,080
Speaker 1: doing this year. Evan Evan ingram Uh is going to

1376
01:08:23,160 --> 01:08:27,040
Speaker 1: be the next giant superstar attention that touchdown, the catch,

1377
01:08:27,120 --> 01:08:29,400
Speaker 1: and then the run. He also had a one handed

1378
01:08:29,400 --> 01:08:32,280
Speaker 1: catch in this game. But that catching run, my goodness,

1379
01:08:32,520 --> 01:08:35,680
Speaker 1: my own that is that is superstar stuff. He like

1380
01:08:35,800 --> 01:08:38,479
Speaker 1: jumps off the screen, so he could be the guy

1381
01:08:38,600 --> 01:08:41,640
Speaker 1: essentially replaces Beckham because he is kind of like a

1382
01:08:41,640 --> 01:08:44,000
Speaker 1: wide receiver. He's going to be the next thousand yard

1383
01:08:44,040 --> 01:08:46,080
Speaker 1: tight end and there aren't that many of those in history.

1384
01:08:46,120 --> 01:08:49,040
Speaker 1: And then my other thought was Danny Dimes. It wasn't

1385
01:08:49,040 --> 01:08:51,559
Speaker 1: a perfect game by the way. He bubbled the ball

1386
01:08:51,600 --> 01:08:54,040
Speaker 1: twice and he should have thrown an interception that was dropped.

1387
01:08:54,360 --> 01:08:56,519
Speaker 1: So it was in a lot of other ways. It

1388
01:08:56,560 --> 01:08:59,040
Speaker 1: was an incredible game, but it was not a perfect

1389
01:08:59,120 --> 01:09:02,080
Speaker 1: piece of artwork. Kyle Allen had probably a better game,

1390
01:09:02,120 --> 01:09:04,679
Speaker 1: and I think he Kyle Allen definitely had a better

1391
01:09:04,720 --> 01:09:10,200
Speaker 1: game and clean, cleaner. The team, super exciting, but there

1392
01:09:10,280 --> 01:09:12,120
Speaker 1: is there is room for growth. It wasn't like he

1393
01:09:12,200 --> 01:09:15,160
Speaker 1: delivered an absolute masterpiece. It was just more like a

1394
01:09:15,240 --> 01:09:18,760
Speaker 1: rollicking good time, more just allowing giants fans to you know,

1395
01:09:18,840 --> 01:09:20,599
Speaker 1: bathe in it because of what they've been through. Well,

1396
01:09:20,640 --> 01:09:22,840
Speaker 1: he also had a ton of pressure on him, you know.

1397
01:09:22,920 --> 01:09:25,360
Speaker 1: Next Gen stat said he he had more yards under

1398
01:09:25,360 --> 01:09:28,200
Speaker 1: pressure than any quarterback in a game since Tom Brady

1399
01:09:28,240 --> 01:09:31,479
Speaker 1: of Week three of two thousand seventeen. So a lot

1400
01:09:31,520 --> 01:09:34,439
Speaker 1: of those throws were on the move. I really love

1401
01:09:34,560 --> 01:09:36,479
Speaker 1: you know, a right handed guy who can throw on

1402
01:09:36,560 --> 01:09:39,760
Speaker 1: the move to his left with ease multiple times in

1403
01:09:39,800 --> 01:09:42,880
Speaker 1: that game is pretty rare. It was that it was

1404
01:09:42,920 --> 01:09:45,400
Speaker 1: the splash plays that got you so excited like that,

1405
01:09:45,640 --> 01:09:49,000
Speaker 1: the low percentage for most quarterbacks types of throws that

1406
01:09:49,040 --> 01:09:50,439
Speaker 1: he put out. I wonder if he's going to have

1407
01:09:50,479 --> 01:09:52,760
Speaker 1: a ton of fun plays this year, but a ton

1408
01:09:52,800 --> 01:09:56,000
Speaker 1: of turnovers too. I could see Shepherd back helped a

1409
01:09:56,000 --> 01:10:00,320
Speaker 1: lot in in defensive eland. Shepherd is a big time layer.

1410
01:10:00,560 --> 01:10:03,320
Speaker 1: And so when you have him and you know, what

1411
01:10:03,360 --> 01:10:05,559
Speaker 1: do they say in fantasy A league winner, Evan Ingram's

1412
01:10:05,560 --> 01:10:08,400
Speaker 1: a league winner. If you drafted Evan Ingram, He's the

1413
01:10:08,439 --> 01:10:11,160
Speaker 1: type of guy that wins you a fantasy league. Um,

1414
01:10:11,200 --> 01:10:15,600
Speaker 1: all right, up next, Greg, Oh yeah, let's let's go

1415
01:10:15,680 --> 01:10:19,880
Speaker 1: with the Dolphins in the Charger. I am surprised you are.

1416
01:10:20,479 --> 01:10:23,240
Speaker 1: I'm with West when it's the backup. Turn it down

1417
01:10:23,240 --> 01:10:25,439
Speaker 1: that volume for you on Sunday. I'll tell you what.

1418
01:10:26,360 --> 01:10:29,120
Speaker 1: When it's the backup game, you know, I would never

1419
01:10:29,200 --> 01:10:31,320
Speaker 1: take the Dolphins, Greg, I don't care if it's the backup.

1420
01:10:31,400 --> 01:10:33,800
Speaker 1: I just wanna who knows if they stay, if they

1421
01:10:33,800 --> 01:10:38,720
Speaker 1: stay competitive, somehow it becomes it becomes more interesting. And

1422
01:10:38,720 --> 01:10:41,920
Speaker 1: they're playing a team in the Chargers that I don't

1423
01:10:41,920 --> 01:10:45,000
Speaker 1: mind watching. Keenan Allen right now is maybe the best

1424
01:10:45,000 --> 01:10:47,920
Speaker 1: receiver in the league. He's certainly right up there. When

1425
01:10:47,920 --> 01:10:51,519
Speaker 1: you have an office that's just Philip Rivers trying to

1426
01:10:51,520 --> 01:10:54,120
Speaker 1: find Keenan Allen while he's being pressured, and it still

1427
01:10:54,120 --> 01:10:56,200
Speaker 1: moves the ball fairly well. It's that you can't really

1428
01:10:56,200 --> 01:10:59,080
Speaker 1: build an offense around that, and yet they still put

1429
01:10:59,120 --> 01:11:01,000
Speaker 1: up like three of the yards. I mean, their offense

1430
01:11:01,080 --> 01:11:03,679
Speaker 1: is still better than what the Packers roll out every week.

1431
01:11:03,720 --> 01:11:06,200
Speaker 1: And it's basically those two guys playing pitch and catch.

1432
01:11:06,640 --> 01:11:08,320
Speaker 1: I feel like a guy on death row that just

1433
01:11:08,320 --> 01:11:11,200
Speaker 1: got pardoned by the governor while I'm strapped into the chair. Well,

1434
01:11:11,240 --> 01:11:14,000
Speaker 1: here's the thing. I've also watched. The cults are out

1435
01:11:14,040 --> 01:11:16,320
Speaker 1: there and I've watched them every single week, and so

1436
01:11:16,400 --> 01:11:17,680
Speaker 1: you want to you want to mix him up. I

1437
01:11:17,880 --> 01:11:19,960
Speaker 1: do love the cults, but I'll save him. This feels

1438
01:11:19,960 --> 01:11:24,000
Speaker 1: like the Joey Bosa Melvin Ingram start your season. Have

1439
01:11:24,160 --> 01:11:27,120
Speaker 1: the big, big, big performance. Should you would you would hope.

1440
01:11:27,160 --> 01:11:30,479
Speaker 1: So they've been pretty quiet. You're underselling Austin Ekeler, who

1441
01:11:30,800 --> 01:11:34,639
Speaker 1: in the last week's game against the Texans just showed

1442
01:11:34,680 --> 01:11:37,080
Speaker 1: that he's leaps and bounds a better player at what

1443
01:11:37,120 --> 01:11:39,360
Speaker 1: he does than Duke Johnson. My bad. It's really a

1444
01:11:39,400 --> 01:11:44,360
Speaker 1: three man offense and he's Duke Johnson is known as

1445
01:11:44,360 --> 01:11:47,599
Speaker 1: a passing down back, and in Austin Ekeler is so

1446
01:11:47,680 --> 01:11:51,080
Speaker 1: much better than him. I think Ekeler is a He's

1447
01:11:51,080 --> 01:11:53,559
Speaker 1: just a running back. Like I guess, he's smaller, and

1448
01:11:53,640 --> 01:11:57,040
Speaker 1: so maybe we want to give him three fifty carries,

1449
01:11:57,240 --> 01:12:00,000
Speaker 1: but he absolutely deserves to have the ball two seven

1450
01:12:00,160 --> 01:12:02,360
Speaker 1: five times this year. And I think even with Melvin

1451
01:12:02,400 --> 01:12:04,960
Speaker 1: Gordon coming back, which we haven't mentioned, he is, you know,

1452
01:12:05,000 --> 01:12:08,080
Speaker 1: returning to the team. You have to keep giving the

1453
01:12:08,120 --> 01:12:11,439
Speaker 1: ball a lot every every good offense. And this this

1454
01:12:11,560 --> 01:12:14,679
Speaker 1: jumped out to me in the season opener Patriots Steelers game.

1455
01:12:15,400 --> 01:12:18,160
Speaker 1: You gotta have a linebacker beater coming out of your backfield,

1456
01:12:18,479 --> 01:12:20,439
Speaker 1: and the Patriots have two of them in Birkhead and

1457
01:12:20,520 --> 01:12:23,160
Speaker 1: James White, where the Steelers had none. The Chargers have

1458
01:12:23,200 --> 01:12:25,200
Speaker 1: a linebacker beater and Ekeler you go, you go to

1459
01:12:25,280 --> 01:12:26,680
Speaker 1: him when you need a big play, and he does

1460
01:12:26,720 --> 01:12:28,680
Speaker 1: it because he can beat them off the line with

1461
01:12:28,720 --> 01:12:30,720
Speaker 1: his route running and then if you get him the

1462
01:12:30,760 --> 01:12:33,800
Speaker 1: ball into space. What separates all these running backs immediately

1463
01:12:33,880 --> 01:12:36,280
Speaker 1: the agility to make the first guy miss. And he

1464
01:12:36,320 --> 01:12:39,080
Speaker 1: does it almost every time. All right, our final non

1465
01:12:39,400 --> 01:12:42,000
Speaker 1: prime time game, we forgot to mention Melvin Gordon and

1466
01:12:42,080 --> 01:12:46,519
Speaker 1: in his holdout, we're in there. He wants play this week. Um,

1467
01:12:46,560 --> 01:12:50,320
Speaker 1: poor Dolphins, you know, poor holdout. They don't even get mentioned.

1468
01:12:50,439 --> 01:12:52,439
Speaker 1: I actually, now that we have a circle back here,

1469
01:12:52,600 --> 01:12:56,240
Speaker 1: Henry Hotson did show me this link from Gridiron Magazine,

1470
01:12:57,000 --> 01:13:00,560
Speaker 1: UK only product who had an exclusive with UH to

1471
01:13:00,800 --> 01:13:04,080
Speaker 1: a from Alabama who said he's not worrying about the

1472
01:13:04,120 --> 01:13:07,479
Speaker 1: whole You know, he hears about it a lot. He's

1473
01:13:07,479 --> 01:13:10,280
Speaker 1: not worried. He thinks it's fine. You know, he doesn't.

1474
01:13:10,360 --> 01:13:12,800
Speaker 1: He doesn't seem like he's gonna, you know, try to

1475
01:13:12,840 --> 01:13:15,559
Speaker 1: pull an Eli Manning, you know, and get his way

1476
01:13:15,600 --> 01:13:22,000
Speaker 1: out of there. That's the Alabama he's But what's the connection.

1477
01:13:22,400 --> 01:13:25,559
Speaker 1: The Alabama is basically been tanking this. I mean, Miami's

1478
01:13:25,560 --> 01:13:27,920
Speaker 1: tanking to draft him. I don't think he's gonna win

1479
01:13:27,960 --> 01:13:30,639
Speaker 1: out like a flock of agents and representation. I'm saying,

1480
01:13:30,640 --> 01:13:34,160
Speaker 1: like Eli Manning, you know, you get on people out.

1481
01:13:34,400 --> 01:13:36,439
Speaker 1: It sounds like he was just like, I know about it.

1482
01:13:36,439 --> 01:13:40,040
Speaker 1: It's cool, it's fine. Found another way to come after Eli.

1483
01:13:41,040 --> 01:13:43,479
Speaker 1: That was a good one. I mean you said that

1484
01:13:43,479 --> 01:13:47,000
Speaker 1: that wasn't really a show of leadership there. Charges weren't

1485
01:13:47,000 --> 01:13:49,000
Speaker 1: even a bad organization. They had one down year and

1486
01:13:49,040 --> 01:13:53,280
Speaker 1: Eli said I'm not going there. Um, all right, let's

1487
01:13:53,280 --> 01:13:58,040
Speaker 1: say that for We'll have that conversation at that point.

1488
01:13:58,240 --> 01:14:00,920
Speaker 1: All right. The final pick then is the Raiders at

1489
01:14:00,960 --> 01:14:05,439
Speaker 1: the Cults. Uh do you know this? I know what

1490
01:14:05,479 --> 01:14:07,760
Speaker 1: I'm getting, Just like you said saying, Greg, the Cults

1491
01:14:07,760 --> 01:14:10,760
Speaker 1: are going to deliver a solid, workman like performance at

1492
01:14:10,800 --> 01:14:13,200
Speaker 1: home against the Raiders team that's not gonna win many

1493
01:14:13,240 --> 01:14:15,600
Speaker 1: games on the road. I see this as a to

1494
01:14:15,920 --> 01:14:19,360
Speaker 1: a two score game in favor of the Colts, and

1495
01:14:19,560 --> 01:14:23,760
Speaker 1: um from the Raiders side of things, I guess I'm

1496
01:14:23,880 --> 01:14:26,400
Speaker 1: something had been tracking since Hard Knocks was what's going

1497
01:14:26,439 --> 01:14:29,680
Speaker 1: on in the future with Derek Carr. Um. You know

1498
01:14:29,800 --> 01:14:32,040
Speaker 1: that Jon Gruen is not going anywhere. He's in the

1499
01:14:32,040 --> 01:14:35,679
Speaker 1: second year of a ten year deal. Um. But for

1500
01:14:35,800 --> 01:14:39,160
Speaker 1: Derek carr, I think this is game four of an

1501
01:14:39,240 --> 01:14:41,439
Speaker 1: audition that will decide whether he stays there. And I

1502
01:14:41,479 --> 01:14:44,080
Speaker 1: think at this point I would be very surprising if

1503
01:14:44,080 --> 01:14:46,280
Speaker 1: he's there at quarterback next year. I mean I asked

1504
01:14:46,280 --> 01:14:50,679
Speaker 1: the same question. I think it was. I I thought,

1505
01:14:51,080 --> 01:14:54,280
Speaker 1: on this three game sample, that's overreacting that he's exactly

1506
01:14:54,320 --> 01:14:56,759
Speaker 1: what they would have expected. I think he's played fine.

1507
01:14:57,000 --> 01:14:59,280
Speaker 1: Is that what John Griden wants? Maybe not, but I

1508
01:14:59,320 --> 01:15:01,320
Speaker 1: guess I don't it to begin with, I don't feel

1509
01:15:01,360 --> 01:15:04,120
Speaker 1: any differently after these three games than I did before.

1510
01:15:05,000 --> 01:15:07,439
Speaker 1: But then here's Dan. I'm totally with you because I

1511
01:15:07,479 --> 01:15:11,000
Speaker 1: just think the experience of Derek carr you know, okay,

1512
01:15:11,040 --> 01:15:12,880
Speaker 1: like you're gonna get a couple of the things you

1513
01:15:12,960 --> 01:15:15,360
Speaker 1: got last week against the Vikings, which was one of

1514
01:15:15,360 --> 01:15:18,200
Speaker 1: the worst interceptions I saw all week on a terrible

1515
01:15:18,280 --> 01:15:22,000
Speaker 1: overthrow and you know there he's asking receivers to leap

1516
01:15:22,360 --> 01:15:24,840
Speaker 1: their full extent in the year to grab balls that

1517
01:15:24,880 --> 01:15:28,479
Speaker 1: are high he's is it going to improve? I just

1518
01:15:28,520 --> 01:15:30,719
Speaker 1: don't know. Like I'm with Danna, I'm a little worried

1519
01:15:30,840 --> 01:15:33,120
Speaker 1: as a as a Cults backer, I don't think they're

1520
01:15:33,160 --> 01:15:37,000
Speaker 1: a team you can trust to beat anyone easily. Just

1521
01:15:37,120 --> 01:15:39,320
Speaker 1: talent wise. They could be without t Y Hilton, they

1522
01:15:39,360 --> 01:15:41,160
Speaker 1: could be without Darius Leonard. They are going to be

1523
01:15:41,200 --> 01:15:44,200
Speaker 1: without Malik Hooker. They are going to be It is

1524
01:15:44,280 --> 01:15:47,439
Speaker 1: just man for a team. It wasn't, you know, the

1525
01:15:47,479 --> 01:15:49,519
Speaker 1: most talent in the entire league. They've had taken a

1526
01:15:49,560 --> 01:15:52,240
Speaker 1: lot of hits. Hilton, especially if he's out, is kind

1527
01:15:52,240 --> 01:15:56,760
Speaker 1: of I would think, um with the Chiefs coming up

1528
01:15:56,800 --> 01:16:00,360
Speaker 1: next week and Hilton having a pull himself out of

1529
01:16:00,400 --> 01:16:03,320
Speaker 1: that game reaggravating the quad, that they would probably be

1530
01:16:03,400 --> 01:16:06,880
Speaker 1: very careful about playing him in this game. But you're right,

1531
01:16:07,040 --> 01:16:08,960
Speaker 1: take him out of the equation. He's been their number

1532
01:16:08,960 --> 01:16:12,880
Speaker 1: one receiver and perhaps the Colts have a major firepower issue.

1533
01:16:13,720 --> 01:16:17,720
Speaker 1: Nice matchup here for the running back connoisseurs. Marlon Mack

1534
01:16:17,840 --> 01:16:20,320
Speaker 1: who's running, I mean, looked head and shoulders better than

1535
01:16:20,400 --> 01:16:23,120
Speaker 1: DeVante Freeman. And last week's game, I thought they didn't

1536
01:16:23,120 --> 01:16:24,880
Speaker 1: even look like they were playing the same position. Marlon

1537
01:16:25,640 --> 01:16:28,600
Speaker 1: much better. Freeman isn't making anyone missing space that that

1538
01:16:28,600 --> 01:16:30,960
Speaker 1: would bother me if I'm a Falcon fan. No, the

1539
01:16:31,040 --> 01:16:34,320
Speaker 1: Chuck Pagano. No, it was Chuck Pagano who glowed over

1540
01:16:34,400 --> 01:16:36,760
Speaker 1: Marlon Mack a couple off season ago, said this guy

1541
01:16:36,840 --> 01:16:39,679
Speaker 1: is going to be an absolute star, and he's maybe

1542
01:16:39,680 --> 01:16:42,040
Speaker 1: not there yet, but he is the engine to that offense.

1543
01:16:42,080 --> 01:16:45,040
Speaker 1: Post Andrew Pallard. Ballard kind of said when they didn't

1544
01:16:45,080 --> 01:16:47,719
Speaker 1: take anyone, it's because they believe in Mac. We should

1545
01:16:47,720 --> 01:16:51,360
Speaker 1: have we should have listened. Chuck Strong, I'm just saying,

1546
01:16:51,360 --> 01:16:54,360
Speaker 1: I'm just backing up at previous point. Looked really good,

1547
01:16:54,400 --> 01:16:55,920
Speaker 1: and I know his stats didn't look good, but he's

1548
01:16:55,920 --> 01:16:58,200
Speaker 1: looked phenomenal all years SOFFO, and he was playing through

1549
01:16:58,240 --> 01:17:00,840
Speaker 1: what a calf injury or something last week perfectly healthy

1550
01:17:00,880 --> 01:17:05,280
Speaker 1: to me. Uh. Sunday Night Football, the Dallas Cowboys three

1551
01:17:05,280 --> 01:17:08,120
Speaker 1: and OH travel to the Superdome to face the New

1552
01:17:08,240 --> 01:17:11,080
Speaker 1: Orleans Saints. Oh. This is a good matchup. The Saints

1553
01:17:11,120 --> 01:17:15,240
Speaker 1: two and one have that great complete victory against the

1554
01:17:15,280 --> 01:17:19,360
Speaker 1: Seahawks in Seattle, so they they have confidence. Uh Teddy

1555
01:17:19,400 --> 01:17:23,439
Speaker 1: Bridgewater um showed came along a little bit in that game,

1556
01:17:23,640 --> 01:17:26,479
Speaker 1: but still has work to do. The Cowboys, meanwhile, West

1557
01:17:26,560 --> 01:17:32,439
Speaker 1: are clicking on all cylinders with those triplets uh Dak Coope,

1558
01:17:33,160 --> 01:17:36,760
Speaker 1: Zeke and the defense. Some of this has to do

1559
01:17:36,800 --> 01:17:40,479
Speaker 1: with opponent, but that Cowboys are on pace for a

1560
01:17:40,600 --> 01:17:45,519
Speaker 1: hundred and seven passes a fifteen or more yards this

1561
01:17:45,600 --> 01:17:49,120
Speaker 1: year compared to sixty eight last year and fifty three

1562
01:17:49,200 --> 01:17:52,400
Speaker 1: and two thousand and seventeen. This is a totally different

1563
01:17:52,439 --> 01:17:55,040
Speaker 1: offense that the Cowboys are putting out there, and I

1564
01:17:55,040 --> 01:17:57,320
Speaker 1: think it's outplayed their defense, which one which is in

1565
01:17:57,400 --> 01:18:00,240
Speaker 1: one of the best in the league. Yeah, it nice

1566
01:18:00,240 --> 01:18:02,800
Speaker 1: to see them play a real team though you know,

1567
01:18:02,800 --> 01:18:05,280
Speaker 1: I know they don't have Teddy Drew Brees the Saints,

1568
01:18:05,400 --> 01:18:08,240
Speaker 1: but the Cowboys have maybe played the three worst teams

1569
01:18:08,240 --> 01:18:12,200
Speaker 1: in the league in succession, Redskins, Giants, and Dolphins, specially

1570
01:18:12,240 --> 01:18:13,800
Speaker 1: Giants with with the Eli Man and so I think

1571
01:18:13,840 --> 01:18:16,000
Speaker 1: on both sides they had to be really happy with

1572
01:18:16,000 --> 01:18:18,120
Speaker 1: what they got out of Robert Quinn. I think DeMarcus

1573
01:18:18,200 --> 01:18:21,400
Speaker 1: Lawrence has looked more like himself each week. Uh, and

1574
01:18:21,439 --> 01:18:23,720
Speaker 1: they're just they're more talented. I mean, this is kind

1575
01:18:23,720 --> 01:18:28,200
Speaker 1: of a sneaky rivalry because of Sean Payton's friendship with

1576
01:18:28,200 --> 01:18:30,240
Speaker 1: the Jones, is because of all those rumors over the years,

1577
01:18:30,240 --> 01:18:32,920
Speaker 1: because Sean Payton really is the number one coaching mentor

1578
01:18:33,280 --> 01:18:36,240
Speaker 1: to Jason Garrett. Uh, you know, they were very close

1579
01:18:36,280 --> 01:18:38,799
Speaker 1: from their time together with the Giants, and and Payton's

1580
01:18:38,840 --> 01:18:40,559
Speaker 1: kind of put it on him. But last year, I

1581
01:18:40,600 --> 01:18:44,080
Speaker 1: remember I was in your house, West when the Cowboys

1582
01:18:44,320 --> 01:18:46,760
Speaker 1: shut the Saints down, and that kind of started the

1583
01:18:46,760 --> 01:18:49,519
Speaker 1: Saints downfall, and it really started this love affair between

1584
01:18:49,560 --> 01:18:51,960
Speaker 1: West and and the Cowboys and West and one of

1585
01:18:52,000 --> 01:19:04,000
Speaker 1: their linebackers, oh Layton Vanderesh. I think both their lines Well,

1586
01:19:04,040 --> 01:19:06,519
Speaker 1: I like them so much that I'm locking up the

1587
01:19:06,560 --> 01:19:09,240
Speaker 1: Cowboys a good one until I'm gonna keep locking them

1588
01:19:09,280 --> 01:19:11,880
Speaker 1: up until until Dan puts them ahead of the Rams

1589
01:19:11,880 --> 01:19:15,000
Speaker 1: and his power ranking. All right, all right, you know

1590
01:19:15,040 --> 01:19:17,479
Speaker 1: what if they go to New Orleans and kick some ass?

1591
01:19:17,880 --> 01:19:19,760
Speaker 1: What is it about these Rams that has you think?

1592
01:19:19,760 --> 01:19:21,360
Speaker 1: And they're the third best team in the NFL, Like

1593
01:19:21,360 --> 01:19:23,840
Speaker 1: they're pretty damn good. The Rams. I like the Rams,

1594
01:19:23,880 --> 01:19:28,639
Speaker 1: but it's close. I think they're very close. Good though.

1595
01:19:28,960 --> 01:19:30,559
Speaker 1: I don't have the mirror on that one, and the

1596
01:19:30,600 --> 01:19:33,080
Speaker 1: reflections coming right back at you. I Greg looks at

1597
01:19:33,080 --> 01:19:37,960
Speaker 1: the mirror, there's nothing. I am fine to be the

1598
01:19:38,000 --> 01:19:39,559
Speaker 1: one that comes out of this with a wind, though,

1599
01:19:40,280 --> 01:19:43,519
Speaker 1: and we won't be discussed. He'll have w at what

1600
01:19:43,640 --> 01:19:47,000
Speaker 1: costs though. I think Saints fans are rightfully a little

1601
01:19:47,040 --> 01:19:51,479
Speaker 1: worried about they're playing. They're playing an undefeated team you

1602
01:19:51,560 --> 01:19:54,519
Speaker 1: don't believe in. I don't. That's why I'm blocking against

1603
01:19:54,720 --> 01:19:56,400
Speaker 1: so But I'm saying, like, you don't even think it's

1604
01:19:56,479 --> 01:19:58,600
Speaker 1: gonna be close. I think it's weird. I think the

1605
01:19:58,640 --> 01:20:00,800
Speaker 1: Bills are a playoff team, I really do. I think

1606
01:20:00,800 --> 01:20:03,000
Speaker 1: they're gonna win ten or eleven games. And this is

1607
01:20:03,000 --> 01:20:06,920
Speaker 1: a road game. Why are we looking at this? Who cared?

1608
01:20:06,960 --> 01:20:09,200
Speaker 1: This is why this game is stupid. Have if you're

1609
01:20:09,240 --> 01:20:14,040
Speaker 1: gonna play a game, to play a game, but does matter?

1610
01:20:15,600 --> 01:20:18,280
Speaker 1: There are rules you just you're playing by your own rules.

1611
01:20:19,000 --> 01:20:22,240
Speaker 1: My rules are if it's a touchdown spread or less,

1612
01:20:22,320 --> 01:20:24,599
Speaker 1: then why are you so uncomfortable looking in the mirror?

1613
01:20:25,200 --> 01:20:30,040
Speaker 1: I mean because it alter his decision. No matter how

1614
01:20:30,600 --> 01:20:33,120
Speaker 1: much pressure you put on him or lights, it's not

1615
01:20:33,120 --> 01:20:34,800
Speaker 1: going to change. I mean I was think getting either

1616
01:20:34,800 --> 01:20:40,040
Speaker 1: that or the Chiefs. So either way, well that's uh. Finally,

1617
01:20:40,080 --> 01:20:43,760
Speaker 1: Monday Night Football, the Cincinnati ben Gulls travel to Pittsburgh

1618
01:20:44,160 --> 01:20:46,920
Speaker 1: to face the Steelers. Even when they made the schedule,

1619
01:20:47,000 --> 01:20:48,640
Speaker 1: this one was always gonna be iffy, and now it's

1620
01:20:48,680 --> 01:20:51,919
Speaker 1: turned into a worst case scenario. Two oh and three teams,

1621
01:20:52,280 --> 01:20:56,000
Speaker 1: one of them, uh the Steelers without their franchise quarterback

1622
01:20:56,160 --> 01:20:58,800
Speaker 1: Big Ben out for the year with elbow surgery. Um.

1623
01:20:59,439 --> 01:21:03,519
Speaker 1: I mean we talked about last year last week mark

1624
01:21:03,600 --> 01:21:07,559
Speaker 1: a cornered animal game for the Steelers. Well now they're

1625
01:21:07,560 --> 01:21:09,519
Speaker 1: just they're kind of laying on the floor, they're twitching,

1626
01:21:10,040 --> 01:21:13,439
Speaker 1: They're they're probably dead. Uh. If not, they will soon expire.

1627
01:21:14,040 --> 01:21:16,160
Speaker 1: Uh So the Bengals are gonna go up to to

1628
01:21:16,320 --> 01:21:19,679
Speaker 1: the rotting corpse and sniff it and we'll see what happens.

1629
01:21:19,880 --> 01:21:22,320
Speaker 1: Not a good place to be if you're an animal,

1630
01:21:22,680 --> 01:21:24,719
Speaker 1: that is what you described there. Not a good place.

1631
01:21:24,800 --> 01:21:30,160
Speaker 1: I am locking up the Steelers, let's start right there. Good.

1632
01:21:31,360 --> 01:21:34,400
Speaker 1: I don't particularly believe in the Steelers, but it's what

1633
01:21:34,640 --> 01:21:37,479
Speaker 1: what what I think is it's one of these classic Uh,

1634
01:21:37,520 --> 01:21:39,720
Speaker 1: it just feels like what's going to happen on Monday Night.

1635
01:21:39,880 --> 01:21:42,320
Speaker 1: I've already in my mind I see a Minka Fitzpatrick

1636
01:21:42,400 --> 01:21:45,680
Speaker 1: pick six where they can spend fifteen minutes telling you

1637
01:21:45,720 --> 01:21:47,600
Speaker 1: how great it was that they made the trade for.

1638
01:21:47,640 --> 01:21:50,240
Speaker 1: It's just all these little Monday night things are gonna happen.

1639
01:21:50,600 --> 01:21:52,680
Speaker 1: The game is begging for me to watch it on

1640
01:21:52,720 --> 01:21:55,240
Speaker 1: condensed mode much later in the week. But we will

1641
01:21:55,280 --> 01:21:58,479
Speaker 1: see about that. My problem with the Bengals is that

1642
01:21:58,560 --> 01:22:01,400
Speaker 1: week after week they've found a a to kill themselves

1643
01:22:01,520 --> 01:22:04,200
Speaker 1: with killer turnovers. And be honest, you have a lot

1644
01:22:04,200 --> 01:22:06,200
Speaker 1: more problems with than that with the Bengals. But the

1645
01:22:06,240 --> 01:22:08,720
Speaker 1: Bengal this is they this is their shot to go

1646
01:22:08,880 --> 01:22:11,240
Speaker 1: steal a win two from the Steelers. But be guess

1647
01:22:11,240 --> 01:22:13,720
Speaker 1: you're about to say something critical of Andy Dalton. No,

1648
01:22:13,840 --> 01:22:16,000
Speaker 1: I think Andy Dalton is not the only problem. They're

1649
01:22:16,040 --> 01:22:20,080
Speaker 1: just they are the worst run blocks. You should be

1650
01:22:20,120 --> 01:22:23,160
Speaker 1: thrilled when you thought the Brown schedule was going to

1651
01:22:23,280 --> 01:22:25,920
Speaker 1: be so tough, and it has been part of it

1652
01:22:25,960 --> 01:22:27,760
Speaker 1: is that we thought the division was gonna be good.

1653
01:22:27,840 --> 01:22:30,439
Speaker 1: This is a stinker and these teams It's not like

1654
01:22:30,439 --> 01:22:32,640
Speaker 1: they've lucked into you know, they've had bad luck to

1655
01:22:32,640 --> 01:22:34,960
Speaker 1: get to go on three. These are the two worst

1656
01:22:35,000 --> 01:22:37,679
Speaker 1: teams in the entire NFL if you don't count uh,

1657
01:22:37,880 --> 01:22:40,880
Speaker 1: the team that's tanking according to Football Outsiders, you know,

1658
01:22:40,920 --> 01:22:45,200
Speaker 1: efficiency these are thirty and thirty one, Pittsburgh and Cincinnati.

1659
01:22:45,280 --> 01:22:46,760
Speaker 1: I just I don't, to be honest, I don't know

1660
01:22:46,760 --> 01:22:48,400
Speaker 1: if I care about that stuff three weeks into the

1661
01:22:48,439 --> 01:22:52,040
Speaker 1: seasons because what I what I have seen is Pittsburgh's

1662
01:22:52,080 --> 01:22:54,679
Speaker 1: when they feel like if their pass rush destroy people

1663
01:22:54,920 --> 01:22:57,920
Speaker 1: and the Bengals oh line has looked really bad, and

1664
01:22:58,000 --> 01:23:01,080
Speaker 1: they to me, that's the week's where Pittsburgh is gonna

1665
01:23:01,120 --> 01:23:03,320
Speaker 1: have like one of these four or five takedowns of

1666
01:23:03,400 --> 01:23:06,479
Speaker 1: Dalton and it will that a fault. No, but that's

1667
01:23:06,520 --> 01:23:09,720
Speaker 1: the that's the self destruct button for Cincinnati. I think

1668
01:23:09,720 --> 01:23:11,600
Speaker 1: you hit on the key to this matchup that the

1669
01:23:11,640 --> 01:23:14,560
Speaker 1: Bengals can't block the Steelers and the Steelers have to

1670
01:23:14,560 --> 01:23:17,160
Speaker 1: take the training wheels off of Mason Rudolph. The only

1671
01:23:17,240 --> 01:23:19,920
Speaker 1: quarterback in the league throwing shorter passes than Mason Rudolph

1672
01:23:20,000 --> 01:23:22,639
Speaker 1: is Teddy Bridgewater. I've got a theory though, for this

1673
01:23:22,680 --> 01:23:26,559
Speaker 1: game it's a little bit of like the the Fenway

1674
01:23:26,640 --> 01:23:29,960
Speaker 1: Park vibe when it's a bad uh Patriots, a Red

1675
01:23:30,000 --> 01:23:32,560
Speaker 1: Sox team, or there's a lot of like proud franchises.

1676
01:23:32,600 --> 01:23:35,479
Speaker 1: There's a point where you've had such a proud franchise

1677
01:23:35,560 --> 01:23:38,240
Speaker 1: that a home game, if they're down seven three at

1678
01:23:38,280 --> 01:23:41,120
Speaker 1: the middle of the second quarter, just the vibes are

1679
01:23:41,160 --> 01:23:42,920
Speaker 1: gonna be terrible. I don't think it's much of a

1680
01:23:42,960 --> 01:23:45,800
Speaker 1: home field advantage because the Steelers fans are not used

1681
01:23:45,840 --> 01:23:47,360
Speaker 1: to their team being one of the worst teams in

1682
01:23:47,360 --> 01:23:50,040
Speaker 1: the league. Yeah, but that could go the exact opposite way,

1683
01:23:50,080 --> 01:23:53,040
Speaker 1: where they throttle Andy Dalton and you're they're playing renegade

1684
01:23:53,040 --> 01:23:55,000
Speaker 1: at full volume in that stadium and the whole place

1685
01:23:55,080 --> 01:23:57,120
Speaker 1: is rock and the terrible towels are at and then

1686
01:23:57,160 --> 01:23:59,320
Speaker 1: they go thirteen and three. Yeah, this was since he's

1687
01:24:00,080 --> 01:24:03,080
Speaker 1: tonight before like they don't The Bengals have never fared

1688
01:24:03,120 --> 01:24:05,280
Speaker 1: well against the Steelers, and not in Pittsburgh. Dan and

1689
01:24:05,320 --> 01:24:07,360
Speaker 1: I stuck our nuck out and picked up Steelers last

1690
01:24:07,360 --> 01:24:09,360
Speaker 1: week and they wronged us. So now I've turned up.

1691
01:24:09,360 --> 01:24:11,679
Speaker 1: This is a terrible effort by them last week. Before

1692
01:24:11,680 --> 01:24:15,160
Speaker 1: we go Ryan Barlett, where are we at with Tony Romo,

1693
01:24:15,240 --> 01:24:19,439
Speaker 1: who's playing a some amateur golf tournament, decide whether he

1694
01:24:19,479 --> 01:24:22,040
Speaker 1: works or not this weekend. I mean it's a it's

1695
01:24:22,040 --> 01:24:24,479
Speaker 1: a PGA event. I have a update for you if

1696
01:24:24,479 --> 01:24:29,280
Speaker 1: you want. Unless you got it one under par through seventeen.

1697
01:24:30,040 --> 01:24:32,920
Speaker 1: He's got to make the cut. Yeah, I mean that

1698
01:24:33,040 --> 01:24:35,639
Speaker 1: now that happened. Now you don't know. Here's Mark Brady,

1699
01:24:35,720 --> 01:24:38,679
Speaker 1: he's the golfer. Oh yeah, Mark Brady, a Shadowy League figure.

1700
01:24:40,640 --> 01:24:46,280
Speaker 1: Tony Romo is one under voice. So he's playing in

1701
01:24:46,360 --> 01:24:50,719
Speaker 1: a PGA Tour event. I mean, that's exactly what Ryan said.

1702
01:24:50,920 --> 01:24:54,839
Speaker 1: An interesting note here. He is currently ahead of Phil Mickelson,

1703
01:24:56,360 --> 01:24:59,160
Speaker 1: has only played two holes thought field and announced the

1704
01:24:59,200 --> 01:25:02,400
Speaker 1: game on Sunday. I mean he's a big charges fan actually,

1705
01:25:02,439 --> 01:25:04,880
Speaker 1: so he want to do that. He's one if he's

1706
01:25:04,920 --> 01:25:06,880
Speaker 1: got one hole to go here at this space, he's

1707
01:25:06,920 --> 01:25:08,760
Speaker 1: making the cut. It's it's early. He has the whole

1708
01:25:08,800 --> 01:25:12,360
Speaker 1: second round to go. It's top ties there. Just keep

1709
01:25:12,400 --> 01:25:16,959
Speaker 1: talking that any of us doing this is the Shadowy

1710
01:25:17,000 --> 01:25:20,040
Speaker 1: League figure, or at least one of the shadows over

1711
01:25:20,040 --> 01:25:21,840
Speaker 1: the years. The only reason why I'm here is the

1712
01:25:21,920 --> 01:25:25,880
Speaker 1: track Tony Romo's progress for the show. Otherwise I'm useless. Well,

1713
01:25:26,360 --> 01:25:28,880
Speaker 1: so is he going to make the cut? Yes or no?

1714
01:25:29,000 --> 01:25:31,160
Speaker 1: Answer A smart please. I do not believe he will

1715
01:25:31,160 --> 01:25:33,600
Speaker 1: make the cup. But he is a superior golfer, and

1716
01:25:33,600 --> 01:25:35,559
Speaker 1: it's pretty amazing that he can actually compete with these

1717
01:25:35,560 --> 01:25:38,760
Speaker 1: guys in the PGA. Not if he keeps up this work.

1718
01:25:39,000 --> 01:25:41,600
Speaker 1: If held up his space, he's got a shot. You know.

1719
01:25:41,720 --> 01:25:44,160
Speaker 1: It's like if if Wes and I were playing in

1720
01:25:44,400 --> 01:25:47,200
Speaker 1: our softball on the softball team the Shield, and there

1721
01:25:47,280 --> 01:25:49,599
Speaker 1: was some type of like tournament, and we decided, hey,

1722
01:25:49,600 --> 01:25:51,640
Speaker 1: if we advance in this round, we're not coming to

1723
01:25:51,680 --> 01:25:54,040
Speaker 1: work on Sunday because we want to, you know, go

1724
01:25:54,160 --> 01:25:56,720
Speaker 1: play this next round of the softball tournament. No, be

1725
01:25:56,800 --> 01:26:00,760
Speaker 1: a professional, the stakes are equal, they kind of are.

1726
01:26:00,920 --> 01:26:05,040
Speaker 1: What's what need to do with professional golf? He's he's

1727
01:26:05,040 --> 01:26:09,559
Speaker 1: a former football player. Ask him that question. I think

1728
01:26:09,560 --> 01:26:11,719
Speaker 1: he would probably say it gives him, you know, more

1729
01:26:12,120 --> 01:26:15,200
Speaker 1: fulfillment than probably anything else he could possibly do in

1730
01:26:15,240 --> 01:26:19,200
Speaker 1: his life. That maybe his kids. But do that, say CBS.

1731
01:26:19,320 --> 01:26:22,240
Speaker 1: I've loved the opportunity, I've really enjoyed it. But you

1732
01:26:22,240 --> 01:26:25,000
Speaker 1: know what my real passion post NFL is golf. So

1733
01:26:25,040 --> 01:26:27,360
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put all my attention and that will be

1734
01:26:27,400 --> 01:26:29,080
Speaker 1: my full time job. You really want to lose him

1735
01:26:29,080 --> 01:26:31,040
Speaker 1: like that? I don't, But I'm saying maybe at some

1736
01:26:31,080 --> 01:26:32,960
Speaker 1: point you just have to make a decision. Maybe he's

1737
01:26:33,000 --> 01:26:35,960
Speaker 1: good enough. Maybe this brings Boomers Sison back into your

1738
01:26:35,960 --> 01:26:39,840
Speaker 1: life on a primetime level. Din. There's different rules for

1739
01:26:39,920 --> 01:26:43,519
Speaker 1: different levels of talent, Like, hey, Lawrence Taylor, you know

1740
01:26:43,680 --> 01:26:45,880
Speaker 1: you want to have some booger sugar before the game. Sure,

1741
01:26:46,040 --> 01:26:48,200
Speaker 1: you're a Hall of Famer. You let Tony Romo play

1742
01:26:48,240 --> 01:26:53,599
Speaker 1: at the golf golf event. All right, that's it, we'll

1743
01:26:53,600 --> 01:26:57,880
Speaker 1: be back tonight. Well again, Greg has already washed his

1744
01:26:57,920 --> 01:27:00,200
Speaker 1: hands of this. He's washing He's in the bad through

1745
01:27:00,600 --> 01:27:04,600
Speaker 1: washing his hands in the mirror the recording process of

1746
01:27:04,640 --> 01:27:07,200
Speaker 1: the game. Here's the thing. I'm I'm crazy enough. I said,

1747
01:27:07,240 --> 01:27:10,679
Speaker 1: I'm happy. If we want, I'll work, I'll stay here

1748
01:27:10,760 --> 01:27:13,040
Speaker 1: and we'll just do it in the professional studio. That's

1749
01:27:13,320 --> 01:27:15,840
Speaker 1: that's even doubling down on washing your hands up because

1750
01:27:15,840 --> 01:27:19,640
Speaker 1: you're presenting a scenario in audio recording formats saying that

1751
01:27:19,680 --> 01:27:21,400
Speaker 1: you already came up with a plan to not do

1752
01:27:21,439 --> 01:27:23,360
Speaker 1: this if it doesn't work At West you're working against

1753
01:27:23,400 --> 01:27:26,080
Speaker 1: West and away here now it's all on West to

1754
01:27:26,200 --> 01:27:29,400
Speaker 1: nail this. Well, I'm coming over. I know he prefers that.

1755
01:27:29,479 --> 01:27:32,599
Speaker 1: I just don't want to have any responsibility, uh, because

1756
01:27:32,600 --> 01:27:36,840
Speaker 1: I'll I'm operating about six steps ahead of Greg. I

1757
01:27:36,960 --> 01:27:40,720
Speaker 1: know that that recording equipment represents our freedom, and if

1758
01:27:40,720 --> 01:27:42,800
Speaker 1: we learn how to use it correctly, it means so

1759
01:27:42,840 --> 01:27:44,760
Speaker 1: many more things in the future. It gives us so

1760
01:27:44,840 --> 01:27:47,679
Speaker 1: much leeway. It gives us options, and I want that

1761
01:27:48,920 --> 01:27:56,439
Speaker 1: teach a child to fish, thank you. I want the options. Well, Greg,

1762
01:27:56,960 --> 01:28:00,160
Speaker 1: get on board. Greg examulating, I'm comment that's going to

1763
01:28:00,240 --> 01:28:02,680
Speaker 1: destroy one of us. So I'm I love it, and

1764
01:28:02,760 --> 01:28:04,880
Speaker 1: I just want to make it clear. I'm riding your

1765
01:28:04,960 --> 01:28:08,040
Speaker 1: guys coattails on this, particularly Will. Yeah, I'll be back

1766
01:28:08,040 --> 01:28:10,200
Speaker 1: in hands's manner. So this is this is you guys

1767
01:28:10,240 --> 01:28:12,760
Speaker 1: working together for the greater good. Yeah, I'm washing my

1768
01:28:12,880 --> 01:28:16,439
Speaker 1: hands up it. That is for certain, all right. So yes, tonight,

1769
