I felt like we should add rounders playing 26 00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,280 Speaker 4: in the background in John Malkovich losing his mind. 27 00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:21,399 Speaker 1: Check eating an Oreo cookie eating a ro cooking. 28 00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:23,360 Speaker 4: Checked out, there's Bucky again. 29 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:25,640 Speaker 1: Check cookie chickio good check Oreo cookie. 30 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:26,000 Speaker 2: Uh. 31 00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:30,360 Speaker 1: This throws The end of this game shows you everything 32 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:34,080 Speaker 1: you need to know about the Texans and Baker Mayfield. Right, So, 33 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:39,120 Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay Buccaneers give up a big punt return late. 34 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:41,679 Speaker 1: The Texans go in and get a touchdown, Nick Chubb 35 00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:43,120 Speaker 1: looking like Nick Chubb. 36 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:46,200 Speaker 4: Of three years ago, stumbling bumbling. 37 00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:49,520 Speaker 1: The Tampa Bay Buccaneers could do nothing offensively for the 38 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:53,480 Speaker 1: entire second half. Baker Mayfield scrambles for fifteen yards on 39 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:57,360 Speaker 1: a fourth down play and checking down gets the Bucks 40 00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 1: down the field, and then a run by Bucky Irving 41 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,559 Speaker 1: with six seconds left gives them the go ahead lead 42 00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:06,440 Speaker 1: and they win the game. The final kickoff was the 43 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:08,320 Speaker 1: final player of the game. The Texans get tackled just 44 00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,360 Speaker 1: outside the thirty yard line and the Buccaneers walk away 45 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 1: with a win. Now, this is like watching the second 46 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:15,519 Speaker 1: half of this game. 47 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 2: Right. 48 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,160 Speaker 1: First, we'll do the Texans and we'll get to Mayfield 49 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:22,359 Speaker 1: the Bucks. This shows you the two biggest strengths of 50 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,040 Speaker 1: the Texans, right when I told you how much I 51 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:25,760 Speaker 1: liked them early this year, and I say, this is 52 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 1: a team that could wind up with home field advantage 53 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,200 Speaker 1: all the way through the playoffs because they have they 54 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:33,520 Speaker 1: played an easy division, and their defensive line and their 55 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 1: defensive backs are top three units. Right, that is awesome. 56 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 1: Now I left out the linebackers. Okay, I left out 57 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,519 Speaker 1: the linebackers, but the defensive line, their dbs are terrific. 58 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:43,800 Speaker 1: What did you see in the second half to night. 59 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:48,120 Speaker 1: The defensive line controlled the entire game. Baker Mayfield was 60 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,680 Speaker 1: running for his life there was He couldn't go downfield 61 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:53,000 Speaker 1: at all. A few times he did go downfield, his 62 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 1: receivers were covered and bracketed. So what did the Buccaneers do, Hey, 63 00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,120 Speaker 1: we're checking down, We're thrown in the flat. I think 64 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,560 Speaker 1: Bucky Irving broke the record for receptions today in a game. 65 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 1: I think he had thirty eight receptions today. Every single 66 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:07,840 Speaker 1: play was Mayfield checked down Irving one on one with 67 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 1: a linebacker, and he's able to get twelve fifteen yards. 68 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,160 Speaker 1: That was almost every play and the only ones that 69 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:17,080 Speaker 1: worked for the Buccaneers in the second half was checking 70 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:20,720 Speaker 1: down to Irving, checking down to a tight end, Mayfield scrambling, 71 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:24,280 Speaker 1: and the the Texans could not adjust that. Yes, they 72 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,680 Speaker 1: kept them down, they kept the they kept the offense 73 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:27,920 Speaker 1: from going up and down the field like they did 74 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,079 Speaker 1: in the first half when Mayfield threw a couple of touchdowns. 75 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,919 Speaker 1: But this this The defensive line in the secondary for 76 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,040 Speaker 1: the Texans are top three units in the NFL. They 77 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 1: are fantastic. But wow, the Buccaneers just said, yeah, we're 78 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 1: gonna We're just gonna go underneath. We're gonna one on 79 00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:42,200 Speaker 1: with your linebackers, and we feel good about that. And 80 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 1: they were able to get down the field and get 81 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 1: that touchdown. So it's kind of good news Bat because 82 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:48,600 Speaker 1: the Texans you can see how good they are defensively. 83 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:50,839 Speaker 1: But wow, man, you just you just let a team 84 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:53,120 Speaker 1: just throw the football no more than four air yards 85 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 1: every single play in the second half and get down 86 00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 1: there and score. 87 00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 4: Well, I just did check into space Bucky Irving and 88 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,800 Speaker 4: guys trying to do the sho shoulder tackle that we 89 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 4: watch him repeatedly. He's just bouncing off of guys like 90 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 4: that's not it's not a guy that's, you know, one 91 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 4: hundred and eight pounds soaking wet, that's gonna get bounced 92 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 4: to the ground. He's still running with authority and making 93 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 4: plays after the catch. And we watched that repeatedly, that 94 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 4: final drive, masterclass, couple of scrambles for Baker Mayfield. A 95 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:22,040 Speaker 4: couple of times where you didn't think he was gonna 96 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:25,039 Speaker 4: get up. It's like, wow, his knee, just like his cleek, 97 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 4: got caught one time. The other time he does the 98 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:31,000 Speaker 4: big summersaults, and it's like, Okay, in a week where 99 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,240 Speaker 4: we're gonna talk a lot about quarterbacks going to the 100 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,599 Speaker 4: shelf for a couple of weeks, Baker Mayfield's like, Wow, okay, 101 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,840 Speaker 4: the year of living dangerously. But to your point, Downfield 102 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,560 Speaker 4: took a couple of shots balls hitting guys in the hands. 103 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:44,880 Speaker 4: But I mean they're covered. 104 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 1: Up all right. 105 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:50,119 Speaker 4: They're not clean easy receptions. You've got the closing speed 106 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 4: of the safeties or blanketed on the outside, so you 107 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 4: look for short passes. On that final drive, a completion 108 00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:59,279 Speaker 4: Evan's completion to Oton and a bunch of Bucky irvings, 109 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 4: so a off to get them over the top. And 110 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,479 Speaker 4: I know Rashad White. Uh, he got rewarded a little 111 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 4: bit for saving Baker Mayfield's bacon on a fumble. Oh yeah, 112 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:11,800 Speaker 4: so he ends up getting the goal line gerry much 113 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 4: of the sugar in of the Fantasy universe, but uh 114 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 4: finds pay dirt and they can't convert the two point conversion. 115 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,599 Speaker 4: But where you look at it for Houston is it's 116 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 4: going to be a long slug slug for them offensively 117 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 4: right there. It's there's there's problems on that side of 118 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:30,880 Speaker 4: the ball. As good as that defense. 119 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:32,599 Speaker 1: And as good as Nico Collins is, you can still 120 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,839 Speaker 1: look when they went forward on fourth and goal early 121 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:37,360 Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter when they could have had a 122 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 1: field goal cut at to thirteen. Uh, they they you know, 123 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,839 Speaker 1: they rolled out CJ. Stroud and the Bucks have it 124 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 1: completely covered. And Nico Collins, as good as a receiver 125 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,160 Speaker 1: as he is, he's not someone that one on one 126 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:52,640 Speaker 1: you can throw him the football that was also in 127 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 1: the back of the end zone. It was a bad player. 128 00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:57,880 Speaker 1: But they know where they're you know where they're going, 129 00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,360 Speaker 1: and and and Nico Collins isn't one of those. Hey, 130 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,640 Speaker 1: I'll go win a battle one on one every single time, 131 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 1: right like he's in he's an open field receiver, he's 132 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,280 Speaker 1: you know, I mean, he's obviously the number one guy there, 133 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 1: and he's one of the top receivers in the NFL. 134 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 1: But it's different when you're you're looking at some of 135 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 1: the Okay, we know where you're gonna go with the football, 136 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 1: as much as you like your offer, we know where 137 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,120 Speaker 1: you're gonna go with that at the end, and there 138 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 1: was nothing they can do and it was a it 139 00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:23,680 Speaker 1: was a huge stop by Tampa Bay. But really, I mean, 140 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 1: the thing is, you look at Baker Mayfield right to 141 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:27,520 Speaker 1: give him a lot of credit to start off with 142 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:35,119 Speaker 1: the positivity. We haven't been appreciation moment for Baker Mayfield. Okay, 143 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 1: just that. We we talk a lot about guys and look, 144 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,280 Speaker 1: the Chargers and Raiders are playing right now, and Geno 145 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 1: Smith is playing for the Raiders and yeah, there you go, 146 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 1: so yeah, a perfect rate. He's a Raider already. 147 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:47,200 Speaker 4: Uh. 148 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:52,000 Speaker 1: We we talk about guys like Geno Smith and Sam Darnold, 149 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,680 Speaker 1: who hey, these are the examples of how you need 150 00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:57,840 Speaker 1: the right system for a quarterback and you see how 151 00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 1: they can succeed, right, because Darnold had great success last 152 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:02,719 Speaker 1: year didn't even work out for him at the end 153 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 1: of the season, but got a hundred million dollar contract 154 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:06,840 Speaker 1: to go to the Seahawks. Right, so far mixed results 155 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 1: for him. Gino Smith backed, you know, bounced around as 156 00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 1: a backup for a long time, finally found what was 157 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 1: an okay enough system and a guy that believed them 158 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:18,640 Speaker 1: at the age of thirty and Pete Carroll okay, great 159 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,080 Speaker 1: and then here he is again, big contract now with 160 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,960 Speaker 1: the Raiders, right, and we talk about that being you know, 161 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 1: getting g Node getting darnolded. Is that former early first 162 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:30,960 Speaker 1: round picks who bounced around the league, And hey, eventually, 163 00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,440 Speaker 1: if you're lucky enough, doesn't happen to everybody, but if 164 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,240 Speaker 1: you're lucky enough, you get in that right system that 165 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 1: works for you. Now, it's ridiculous because as much as 166 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:43,240 Speaker 1: we say Darnold did and and Genode, it's really getting 167 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:47,720 Speaker 1: bakered because Baker Mayfield went from he was one of 168 00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,880 Speaker 1: the biggest busts in the NFL draft where he comes out, 169 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,240 Speaker 1: has a good rookie year, not a great second year, 170 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:56,080 Speaker 1: terrific third year, and then by year five it was 171 00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 1: two new teams for him. Didn't work out In Caroline, 172 00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:02,160 Speaker 1: he went backed up in lost and finally I'm gonna 173 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:04,560 Speaker 1: take over for Tom Brady and Tampa and it's like, wow, man, 174 00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:08,080 Speaker 1: what is going on here? And he went to a 175 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 1: bunch of different systems and stuff that didn't quite work 176 00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:12,400 Speaker 1: for him. Now, the time he filled in, when he 177 00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:15,720 Speaker 1: filled in for the Rams, when Stafford got hurt, he 178 00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:17,600 Speaker 1: was pretty good, right, he was pretty good. But that's 179 00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,240 Speaker 1: a great offensive system for quarterbacks. But he goes to 180 00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:23,000 Speaker 1: Tampa and he throws twenty eight touchdowns and ten picks 181 00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,120 Speaker 1: his first year. It's wow, what good? That's a that's 182 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,880 Speaker 1: getting gen oded or darnolded. And then last year forty 183 00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 1: one touchdowns right five to the final week of the 184 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 1: regular season, and all of a sudden, Baker Mayfield is 185 00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:36,679 Speaker 1: a franchise quarterback who's going to be a star for 186 00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:39,040 Speaker 1: the next four or five years. Because it's not he's 187 00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,240 Speaker 1: not yet thirty. He's not someone that his skill set's 188 00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,600 Speaker 1: going to suddenly just deteriorate. Right, it's not somebody he's 189 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 1: worried about his legs. He's still mobile enough. But he 190 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,480 Speaker 1: has become a star. He has become one of the 191 00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:52,640 Speaker 1: top offensive offensive players in fantasy. He's become one of 192 00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:56,240 Speaker 1: the best, most dynamic quarterbacks in the NFL. And you 193 00:08:56,320 --> 00:09:00,840 Speaker 1: saw tonight that final drive. Mayfield just take looking exactly 194 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:02,800 Speaker 1: what the defense gave him because he knew they had 195 00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:06,160 Speaker 1: enough time. That final drive was a masterstroke by him. 196 00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:08,360 Speaker 1: How many quarterbacks would you see that have a lot 197 00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:10,200 Speaker 1: of talent that would say, you know what, I gotta 198 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:11,839 Speaker 1: get downfield, right, we don't have the time. You don't have time, 199 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,320 Speaker 1: Gotta get downfield. Gotta get downfield. No, I'm checking down 200 00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:16,920 Speaker 1: this is what they're giving me. And he made right 201 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:20,400 Speaker 1: decision after right decision. No, even in the second half 202 00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:23,240 Speaker 1: when things aren't going that well, he's not throwing forcing 203 00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,240 Speaker 1: the ball in. He's not trying to make plays that 204 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:27,520 Speaker 1: aren't there. He did fumble, but it was his own fault. 205 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:29,520 Speaker 1: He just knocked it out of his own hand. Luckily 206 00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:32,920 Speaker 1: Rashad White fell on it. But this is the evolution 207 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:36,320 Speaker 1: of Baker Mayfield. And just watching that final drive, you realize, Okay, 208 00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:39,040 Speaker 1: he's not just a reclamation project that got to He 209 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,120 Speaker 1: got to a team with the right system that believes 210 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,360 Speaker 1: in him. He's got weapons around him, and he has 211 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:46,400 Speaker 1: become a force, not a serviceable quarterback, not a top 212 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:49,440 Speaker 1: fifteen he has become an absolute force in the last 213 00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:51,640 Speaker 1: two and a half years in Tampa and that final 214 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,680 Speaker 1: drive you saw, I mean watching him, I've liked that 215 00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,840 Speaker 1: they're not gonna fall short on this. When Mayfield scrambled 216 00:09:57,880 --> 00:09:59,600 Speaker 1: for that first down, I said, they're getting down there, 217 00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,040 Speaker 1: them down there at some point because now they're gonna 218 00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:03,640 Speaker 1: have to come up short a little bit. And then 219 00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:05,200 Speaker 1: he was able to throw a little bit downfield to 220 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:08,520 Speaker 1: Mike Evans, like he has become a complete quarterback with 221 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:10,959 Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. And just to have a moment 222 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,360 Speaker 1: to talk about that for him, because I didn't think 223 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:14,560 Speaker 1: that was coming after he left Lee. 224 00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:17,760 Speaker 4: Well, that's also the flip of the narrative on a hole. 225 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,240 Speaker 4: He's gotten two guys hired in back to back here 226 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:21,800 Speaker 4: and Can Allis and Liam Cohen. 227 00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:26,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, right, kids got fired. You're getting guys early in 228 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,480 Speaker 1: the career. It's like they said him, is it us? 229 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:30,960 Speaker 1: Is it you got Hugh Jackson fired? Okay, that's one 230 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,400 Speaker 1: of the fired column. Okay, Now in the hired Colum, let's. 231 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:35,640 Speaker 4: Get to that. So he's back to even I mean, 232 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:37,320 Speaker 4: when you get down to it, and now we see 233 00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:40,200 Speaker 4: if Grizzard even if Grizzard can get himself around because 234 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:41,760 Speaker 4: the other the scary thing is, right, they go and 235 00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:47,040 Speaker 4: they steal this game because Houston defensively, we're expecting the 236 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:50,760 Speaker 4: the clamp down and as you said, very smart recognizing 237 00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:52,720 Speaker 4: how much time they have left on the clock because 238 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:54,880 Speaker 4: they still had timeouts in the pocket. That's the other 239 00:10:54,960 --> 00:11:01,120 Speaker 4: things left Wola letting the clock run, not panicking, rushing anything, 240 00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,200 Speaker 4: taking what they're giving him, getting back up to the 241 00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:05,960 Speaker 4: line like all right, looking back to the sideline and 242 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:08,840 Speaker 4: taking their time to where where in the you basically 243 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 4: have the kickoff return and that's it right, game's over. 244 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:14,040 Speaker 4: But the other side is you look at this offense. 245 00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 4: They steal this one from the contending Texans, big road game, 246 00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:21,120 Speaker 4: and boy the Boo Birds were out for the Texans 247 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:23,840 Speaker 4: the entire second half with some of the play calling 248 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,760 Speaker 4: and lack of execution. But you look at what this 249 00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:28,839 Speaker 4: Tampa team is going to be. Right, you still have 250 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:32,000 Speaker 4: questions about when McMillan's gonna be ready, but Godwin's on 251 00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:34,320 Speaker 4: the comeback. We see Abuka. They took the shot to 252 00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:36,880 Speaker 4: him down the field ball that hit his hands, but 253 00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:40,000 Speaker 4: he had a huge week one. There'll be better days there. 254 00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:42,880 Speaker 4: Mike Evans didn't have the monster game, but you know 255 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:46,600 Speaker 4: how good he is, had Bucky Irving out of the backfield, 256 00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:49,000 Speaker 4: and for Shod White's gonna pick up more fumbles than 257 00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,880 Speaker 4: he lets off in years past. Sorry, have to bring 258 00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:54,559 Speaker 4: the whole history in. You got an offense that's gonna 259 00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:58,160 Speaker 4: be really formidable throughout the entire season, and that defense 260 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:00,960 Speaker 4: just good enough to make it hold up. Four years 261 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,120 Speaker 4: in a row they won the division. Looking to put 262 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,920 Speaker 4: that big five count like their King Kong Bundy out there. Yeah, 263 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:06,480 Speaker 4: it has been. 264 00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:08,920 Speaker 1: I mean, this has been some sort of and you 265 00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:12,280 Speaker 1: see why people are are high on the Buccaneers right 266 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:15,200 Speaker 1: because they're playing a division that's not that great. As 267 00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:17,920 Speaker 1: much as you like the Falcons, they clearly have some issues. 268 00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:20,600 Speaker 1: That looked good yesterday. The Saints good, they were good 269 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:23,679 Speaker 1: enough and that hey enough. 270 00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:26,800 Speaker 4: I'm putting it right there. It's it's in inc There's 271 00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:28,800 Speaker 4: gonna be nothing worse than that Sunday night game. 272 00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:31,960 Speaker 1: I don't know, man, I don't know that early I 273 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,240 Speaker 1: could see you putting it in the two sixties ranking, 274 00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:37,360 Speaker 1: but all right, I'm telling you it's it's gonna be 275 00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:40,240 Speaker 1: near the bottoms Okay, all right, your only touchdown was 276 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:42,640 Speaker 1: all jear By. Then people had moved on to Masterpiece 277 00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:45,480 Speaker 1: theater or something. But I could see, you can see 278 00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:48,640 Speaker 1: why everybody is up on the Bucks. Clearly their offense 279 00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:52,720 Speaker 1: is incredibly dynamic and the division is not great. So 280 00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:55,560 Speaker 1: you know, yeah, I get it. I get it for Tampa. 281 00:12:55,600 --> 00:13:00,480 Speaker 1: But man, the the amount of responsibility and how good 282 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:04,520 Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield is is just it really is something to behold. 283 00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:06,960 Speaker 1: Because again you saw, okay, when the when the Browns draft, 284 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,400 Speaker 1: and he's full of swagger. He was full of attitude 285 00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:11,559 Speaker 1: and energy, and the team saw with everybody, yeah, and 286 00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:15,480 Speaker 1: the team, sure, he fought with me and I turned 287 00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:17,920 Speaker 1: out to be right. But okay, that's fine. I'll take 288 00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:21,280 Speaker 1: that one. But now now in here in in in 289 00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:23,800 Speaker 1: Tampa and now he's into into his third year and 290 00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:27,280 Speaker 1: these are now new receivers that he is making good. Right, 291 00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,040 Speaker 1: this is not hey, he showed up like like Darnold 292 00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:32,240 Speaker 1: did last year and just threw it up to Justin Jefferson. Right, 293 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:34,840 Speaker 1: he gets to Tampa, they do have really good playmakers 294 00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:37,560 Speaker 1: and Mike Evans and Chris Godwin. What happens Chris Godwin 295 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:40,200 Speaker 1: gets hurt Mike Evans getting older. Now Buka is here 296 00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 1: and he looks like he's the number one guy. So 297 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:45,400 Speaker 1: they they've been going through playmakers and when guys were 298 00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:48,160 Speaker 1: hurt last year, Mayfield still through for forty one touchdown. 299 00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,520 Speaker 1: So he's one of those guys where you have to say, 300 00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:53,680 Speaker 1: who is he? Really? Is he one of those few 301 00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:56,280 Speaker 1: that makes everybody around him better and that and and 302 00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:58,120 Speaker 1: he's never been on that list before now. 303 00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:03,120 Speaker 4: But I mean, think about the quarterback rot history we've 304 00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,040 Speaker 4: got going on here. There's very few guys that you 305 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:08,480 Speaker 4: trust on a year to year basis. Three years ago. 306 00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:10,680 Speaker 4: This is not something you would have expected to be 307 00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:13,360 Speaker 4: talking about in week two of Monday Night Football. Look 308 00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:16,040 Speaker 4: at this comeback and look at the picture of calm 309 00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:19,480 Speaker 4: and serenity and how he makes everybody better and he 310 00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:20,760 Speaker 4: gets coaches hired. 311 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:24,680 Speaker 1: It's Baker Mayfield. Everybody exit out about a Fresca exit. Swallen, 312 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,840 Speaker 1: do I mean he's becoming one of the best quarterbacks 313 00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:28,360 Speaker 1: of the NFL. 314 00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:30,720 Speaker 4: I mean I always like the swagger. Yeah, I mean 315 00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:32,360 Speaker 4: it was on the edge, and you always wondered how 316 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:35,360 Speaker 4: much his browns versus him. But I mean we are 317 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:39,000 Speaker 4: fantasy Darling last year obviously, but you see him and 318 00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:42,280 Speaker 4: you see him up close and what he's able to accomplish. Uh, 319 00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:44,400 Speaker 4: Like I said, that final drive is like, Wow, I 320 00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:46,560 Speaker 4: think you're selling him short when you're when when you're 321 00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:49,520 Speaker 4: breaking down who the best quarterbacks in the game are? 322 00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:51,120 Speaker 4: You got to put him on that list now, man, 323 00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:55,160 Speaker 4: Baker Mayfield, how about that? Think about that legend exit? 324 00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:58,520 Speaker 4: Ou about a Fresca exit Swallen Dome. Chargers and the Raiders. 325 00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:02,080 Speaker 1: Nothing nothing, actually three nothing Chargers eleven minutes to go 326 00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,320 Speaker 1: in the first quarter. Gino Smith with a pick field 327 00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,280 Speaker 1: goal by the Chargers gives them a lead. Raiders, just 328 00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:08,800 Speaker 1: get the football back. We'll have more on this game 329 00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:13,240 Speaker 1: coming up next.

Happy about the under 367 00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:12,960 Speaker 2: in the first game, Okay, hope we get hope it 368 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:15,400 Speaker 2: gets a little loose here in the second one. 369 00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:18,720 Speaker 1: Did you bet the under for Baker Mayfield Air Yards 370 00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:20,560 Speaker 1: in the second half to night because I think you 371 00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:22,640 Speaker 1: would have won that because everything was a checked. 372 00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,960 Speaker 2: I did not. I was so busy handicap and other stuff, 373 00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:29,480 Speaker 2: champions leading everything else that I didn't. I felt, you know, 374 00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:32,520 Speaker 2: good about my where my positions already had, and I didn't. 375 00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,359 Speaker 2: I did not lie that. I love that that game 376 00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:39,760 Speaker 2: at all. You know, the thing is quite a struggle. Yeah, 377 00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:41,120 Speaker 2: good defenses. 378 00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:45,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, no, Hey, the Texas defensive line is great. They're 379 00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:48,080 Speaker 1: they're there, They're defense. Their secondary is terrific. But you know, 380 00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:52,280 Speaker 1: watching Mayfield, like, yeah, you know he's someone that you 381 00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:55,200 Speaker 1: really I can't say a guy coming off a forty 382 00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:57,359 Speaker 1: one touchdown season is underrated. But I still think he 383 00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:59,680 Speaker 1: doesn't get that hug. You know, one of the best 384 00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:02,240 Speaker 1: quarter in the NFL, and you watch him completely in 385 00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:04,480 Speaker 1: control that final drive. There was no panic, there was 386 00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:07,360 Speaker 1: no forcing the football. There's a big fourth down scramble 387 00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:09,959 Speaker 1: on fourth and ten. I think we really undervalue how 388 00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:11,240 Speaker 1: good a quarterback he's become. 389 00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:19,240 Speaker 2: Yeh, he's a gamer. He's absolutely positively a gamer. Yeah. 390 00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:22,080 Speaker 2: I mean, look, they got a trio another offensive line 391 00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:23,800 Speaker 2: right now, and we've seen what that's look like for 392 00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:26,800 Speaker 2: a lot of other teams with less, less sort of 393 00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:32,480 Speaker 2: polleys and less comfortable in their own skating quarterbacks. You know, 394 00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:36,399 Speaker 2: some people will freaking out about you know, him losing 395 00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:39,560 Speaker 2: Liam Callin or whatever. I oh, I think, you know, 396 00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:41,960 Speaker 2: I think William Crowen huts a pretty kid. It was 397 00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:48,080 Speaker 2: a pretty good debt to Baker, not the other way around. Yeah. Look, 398 00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:50,280 Speaker 2: Tom Bowles isn't the sexiest head coach in the world, 399 00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:52,960 Speaker 2: but he wins, and unlike a lot of guys in 400 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:54,840 Speaker 2: this league, he knows how to win on the road. 401 00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:58,119 Speaker 2: I didn't like I didn't take him like a side 402 00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:00,600 Speaker 2: in that game. I wouldn't I got wouldn't have bet 403 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:05,280 Speaker 2: against Tennessee. I think there's a lot of questions to 404 00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:09,000 Speaker 2: be asked about how detection really improved their offensive line. 405 00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:13,040 Speaker 2: And you know what do we know, like there's this 406 00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:16,439 Speaker 2: new play caller really any good? And what's going on 407 00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:20,280 Speaker 2: with c. J. Strout Because whether it's all the things 408 00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:24,520 Speaker 2: around him now starting to bring him down, it just 409 00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:27,480 Speaker 2: doesn't have the same energy, the same look, the same feel. 410 00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:30,960 Speaker 2: And I know the Dallas Avengers too, but still things 411 00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:32,960 Speaker 2: seem to have gotten really constricted around that. 412 00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:38,320 Speaker 4: Certainly the fluidity of that offense bogged down. 413 00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:40,560 Speaker 1: We saw de Nico Collins and a bunch of guys. 414 00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:43,040 Speaker 1: Let's let's go league wide. 415 00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:46,360 Speaker 4: The spate of injuries at the quarterback position starting once 416 00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:48,919 Speaker 4: again with Joe Burrow on the shelf. Now it's the 417 00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:54,120 Speaker 4: Jake Browning Show gets a w yesterday. But going forward, 418 00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:56,840 Speaker 4: how soon before someone breaks glass for Captain Kirk? 419 00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:03,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know that that's a good I don't think 420 00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:06,480 Speaker 2: it'd be those guys, you know, I think they're pretty 421 00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:10,600 Speaker 2: comfortable with Brownie. I think they like the fact you 422 00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:12,200 Speaker 2: can move around a little bit you know, it's the 423 00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:15,239 Speaker 2: lack of mobility for Cousins that you look at some 424 00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:18,959 Speaker 2: of these offenses and just I just don't know that 425 00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:21,159 Speaker 2: it makes sense. And also that owner is going to 426 00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:24,959 Speaker 2: have to eat, you know, some money, probably more than 427 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:28,199 Speaker 2: he's been comfortable eating to this point. Now you can 428 00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:29,960 Speaker 2: also say, well, wait a minute, he's paying him to 429 00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,879 Speaker 2: do nothing. Now, but that's a decent football team, and 430 00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:35,040 Speaker 2: if Tennan's got hurt, you could do a hell a 431 00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:39,440 Speaker 2: lot worse than Kirk Cousins. So yeah, I think it would. 432 00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:42,240 Speaker 2: I think you would have to really be the right 433 00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:47,840 Speaker 2: confluence of events. I don't think. I don't think Mike 434 00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:53,560 Speaker 2: Brown like I just that would really surprise me if 435 00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:55,960 Speaker 2: he went out and got and did something like that. 436 00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:58,480 Speaker 2: And again I just don't I don't know that it's 437 00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:02,399 Speaker 2: the greatest stimmer or scheme fit in the world either. 438 00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:05,600 Speaker 2: But he is probably somewhere else by the deadline. 439 00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:09,400 Speaker 1: So now let's head to your neck of the woods. 440 00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:11,440 Speaker 1: Let's get to Jaden Daniels, who has the knees brain 441 00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:14,720 Speaker 1: and suddenly, boy does does he play? Is he out 442 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:16,679 Speaker 1: a couple of weeks? What's going to happen here? Like, 443 00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:18,719 Speaker 1: I can't believe the commanders are going to rush him 444 00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:20,640 Speaker 1: back in maybe we don't see him for a couple 445 00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:21,040 Speaker 1: of weeks. 446 00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:26,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think we will. They've got some recalibrating 447 00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:29,439 Speaker 2: to do there as well, and given the state of 448 00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:32,720 Speaker 2: their offensive line right now. I know there were some 449 00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,440 Speaker 2: people gushing about the rookie running back after week one, 450 00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:38,159 Speaker 2: but like you know, it was three yards and a 451 00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,080 Speaker 2: cloud of dust, and then he broke a late one, 452 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:42,520 Speaker 2: you know, for forty some yards against the defense that 453 00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:45,359 Speaker 2: was pretty much out of gas. I just you know, 454 00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:47,440 Speaker 2: And now you know, I think actually were still going 455 00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:51,000 Speaker 2: to see a fair amount of the ball now he's hurt, 456 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:55,200 Speaker 2: The defense isn't special. He was never going to be 457 00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:59,440 Speaker 2: a recreation of last year. But yeah, I think, look, 458 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:02,240 Speaker 2: they could try to defend it all they want. They 459 00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:04,480 Speaker 2: play on a horse bleep field that a lot of 460 00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:06,600 Speaker 2: guys have gotten hurt on and are blamed for part 461 00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:09,560 Speaker 2: of the injury. So yeah, I think they need to 462 00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:11,840 Speaker 2: take the long view here and be really smart about this. 463 00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:14,520 Speaker 2: And the bottom line is this hasn't looked anything like 464 00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:15,880 Speaker 2: last year's offense. 465 00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:18,879 Speaker 4: Anyway, So a lot of a lot of questions about 466 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:22,160 Speaker 4: the let's keep with the injury theme. JJ McCarthy now 467 00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:25,160 Speaker 4: two to four weeks high ankle spraying. The diagnosis look 468 00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:28,320 Speaker 4: pretty spry on the last couple of plays, so conspiracy 469 00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:32,800 Speaker 4: theories abound, but now it becomes the backup show and 470 00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:36,320 Speaker 4: seeds of malcontendedness showing up in Minnesota. 471 00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:44,080 Speaker 2: Well, I mean, look, he's the intangible, you know, mister intangible, 472 00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:46,919 Speaker 2: but like and he certainly has some athleticism, but in 473 00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:50,840 Speaker 2: terms of being the purest thrower of the football and 474 00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:53,919 Speaker 2: understanding how to arca ball and put air under it 475 00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:57,480 Speaker 2: and touch and all that stuff and decision making. But 476 00:22:58,040 --> 00:22:59,920 Speaker 2: you know, we know always asked the pendant Michigan, and 477 00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:03,280 Speaker 2: this is a big This was always going to be 478 00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:06,200 Speaker 2: a big jump and all that developmental time and he 479 00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:08,680 Speaker 2: missed last year even just on the you know, from 480 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:12,280 Speaker 2: a practice standpoint, it's significant. So you know, and I 481 00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:14,399 Speaker 2: think the world of O'Connell, but this was never going 482 00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:18,680 Speaker 2: to be I think a super easy transition for him, 483 00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:22,440 Speaker 2: especially coming off an injury. Uh. I don't have any 484 00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:25,840 Speaker 2: reason to believe that they're in any way, you know, 485 00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:30,240 Speaker 2: creating something here or or or faking it like I don't. 486 00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:33,399 Speaker 2: I don't think he's healthy and he's going to have 487 00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:39,040 Speaker 2: to miss some time and that's unfortunate for them. But 488 00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:42,480 Speaker 2: this coach is invested in that quarterback and I think, 489 00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:46,159 Speaker 2: like I think he can be a winning quarterback because 490 00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:49,760 Speaker 2: of all the things they have cooking there and primarily 491 00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:52,560 Speaker 2: because of O'Connell. But I don't it was never going 492 00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:55,840 Speaker 2: to be overnight like Sam Donald going from vagabond to 493 00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:59,359 Speaker 2: MVD candidate like you did last year. This kid hasn't 494 00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:01,440 Speaker 2: done all the and seen all the things and been 495 00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:04,760 Speaker 2: all through to all the things that Sam Darnold has. 496 00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:08,920 Speaker 1: Jason Locking for our guests, Jason Smith Mike Harmon, live 497 00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:11,240 Speaker 1: from the Fox Sports Radio studios. All right, let's head 498 00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:12,479 Speaker 1: to the Eagles and the Chiefs. 499 00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:12,720 Speaker 2: Now. 500 00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:15,000 Speaker 1: I thought going into this game the Eagles are going 501 00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:16,680 Speaker 1: to prove they would be too much of the same 502 00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:18,920 Speaker 1: team that won the Super Bowl. The Chiefs aren't as good. 503 00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:21,399 Speaker 1: They have a couple of weapons out injured. I know 504 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:24,080 Speaker 1: they're going to come back at some point, j But wow, man, 505 00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:26,119 Speaker 1: that the chief The Chiefs are in a lot of trouble. 506 00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:26,280 Speaker 2: Now. 507 00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:30,520 Speaker 1: Other teams got younger, more talented, more athletic, and this 508 00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:32,159 Speaker 1: might be I think this is the year where the 509 00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:34,360 Speaker 1: Chiefs go, oh, wait a minute, maybe that big run 510 00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:36,480 Speaker 1: we had we get passed by a lot of teams. 511 00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:40,439 Speaker 2: Now, I mean, I think we tend to forget that 512 00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:42,800 Speaker 2: there was a lull, even for the Patriots, right, I mean, 513 00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:45,440 Speaker 2: if that's the comp it was two dynasties and one 514 00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:49,200 Speaker 2: and one waned for a couple of years, never fell apart, 515 00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:51,280 Speaker 2: didn't fall off a cliff, you know. I know they 516 00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:54,200 Speaker 2: waited the playoffs for the year, you know, Brady towards Aco, 517 00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:56,080 Speaker 2: but they want to go to compete really for our 518 00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:58,959 Speaker 2: Super Bowl. And then there was the second iteration. Then 519 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:02,040 Speaker 2: I think, in many ways even more mind blowing in 520 00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:04,520 Speaker 2: the first. I don't know if that's going to happen 521 00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:06,720 Speaker 2: for the Chiefs, but I do think we're seeing the dip. 522 00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:09,840 Speaker 2: And it's hard to come back from the Super Bowl loss. 523 00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:11,320 Speaker 2: And it's hard to come back to the Super Bowl 524 00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:14,360 Speaker 2: loss when one of the players you're counting on most 525 00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:16,320 Speaker 2: to comebacks menjeering and give you an immediate shot in 526 00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:19,280 Speaker 2: the arm, contended to give himself in legal trouble and 527 00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:21,920 Speaker 2: it gave you. Worthy's a little guy, and there's always 528 00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:24,639 Speaker 2: a high injury risk, and the timing of that couldn't 529 00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:27,760 Speaker 2: be worse, and they're still trying to reconfigure it offensive line. 530 00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:31,160 Speaker 2: The run game has been getting systematically worse. That's rice 531 00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:35,880 Speaker 2: got hurt early last season, you know, like Kareem Hunt 532 00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:38,439 Speaker 2: still being on the field that much for them. I 533 00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:41,520 Speaker 2: think they're really telling they've got a personnel issue. Like 534 00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:45,200 Speaker 2: about at the Washington Post heading into this weekend, thought 535 00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:47,520 Speaker 2: they were in a bad spot against the Eagles. Begged 536 00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:50,200 Speaker 2: people to just keep playing Chiefs on theirs, especially at home. 537 00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:53,440 Speaker 2: That's who they are and what they are right now. 538 00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:56,280 Speaker 2: They're still going to be a quality team. I think 539 00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:59,240 Speaker 2: they can still get in the playoffs, but they might 540 00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:03,600 Speaker 2: be the third best team in that division, even with 541 00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:06,520 Speaker 2: Denver not looking like, you know, defensively the team they 542 00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:10,640 Speaker 2: were a year ago. It's a brutal schedule and they're 543 00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:14,480 Speaker 2: going to be without those two playmakers for a while longer. 544 00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:17,359 Speaker 2: So yeah, I think everything is going to be a 545 00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:19,560 Speaker 2: struggle for them. I'll be fascinated to see what they 546 00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:25,560 Speaker 2: do by the trade deadline. I think their edge rush 547 00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:31,159 Speaker 2: group is looking pretty pretty pedestrial at best. And I 548 00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:35,399 Speaker 2: think Chris Jones, you know this, he might be I 549 00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:39,080 Speaker 2: think obviously his best just behind him, and I think 550 00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:43,639 Speaker 2: he might be fading. So yeah, Mahome some only do 551 00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:45,280 Speaker 2: so much. I mean he want Mahomes a run for 552 00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:47,080 Speaker 2: a hundred yards a game, now, Like, is that where 553 00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:47,560 Speaker 2: that's going? 554 00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:49,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, he's gonna ask what are we gonna do? What 555 00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:51,320 Speaker 4: kind of odds can we get on him to lead 556 00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:52,159 Speaker 4: the team in rushing? 557 00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:55,480 Speaker 2: Jeez, wow, it's all hands on deck. I mean the 558 00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:57,440 Speaker 2: guy who'd probably be leading him in rushing honestly, the 559 00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:00,639 Speaker 2: Javiel Worthy, that's just one more area where you know, 560 00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:04,000 Speaker 2: not having him on a jet sweep or you know 561 00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:07,639 Speaker 2: what I mean, under around or reverse like you know, 562 00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:10,359 Speaker 2: and you love that stuff. So yeah, they're in a 563 00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:13,879 Speaker 2: bad way. They lost smart people. There a lot of 564 00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:19,280 Speaker 2: a lot of determined people there, but there was that 565 00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:21,919 Speaker 2: Patriots damp. I mean there was a dip between the 566 00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:22,920 Speaker 2: two cycles. 567 00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:26,280 Speaker 1: He's on Twitter at Jason Locke and four that is 568 00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:29,960 Speaker 1: at Jason Locke and Flora Jay. As always, buddy, appreciate 569 00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:31,920 Speaker 1: your time, enjoy the games, enjoy the betting. 570 00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:32,840 Speaker 4: We'll talk to you next week. 571 00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:35,200 Speaker 2: Oh good gentlemen, buddy. 572 00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:38,000 Speaker 1: See look we'll get to the Chiefs coming up later on. Look, 573 00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,000 Speaker 1: I'm I'm your Chiefs whisperer. I told you it was 574 00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:42,280 Speaker 1: going to be tough. I told him, stock up on Mahomes, 575 00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:44,960 Speaker 1: stock down on you. Don't eat any more barbecue. I've 576 00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:46,920 Speaker 1: been banned. We No I could, I could get barbecued. 577 00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:49,880 Speaker 4: No I could go. I could go to Memphis and 578 00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:51,879 Speaker 4: the guys from Arthur and Brian are coming to get. 579 00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:54,560 Speaker 1: You, and I come up. I come up with a 580 00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:55,760 Speaker 1: triangle offense. 581 00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:56,480 Speaker 3: And total fook gown. 582 00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:00,240 Speaker 1: Bryan, I would have that look. It's just it's it's 583 00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:03,040 Speaker 1: it's not anything against the Chiefs. It's not something ah 584 00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:07,000 Speaker 1: the Chiefs. But the Chiefs are older. Other teams that 585 00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:10,840 Speaker 1: are younger, more talented, more athletic, and you see that 586 00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:13,480 Speaker 1: the questions they have. They don't have the weapons because 587 00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:16,159 Speaker 1: zaf You're worthy is injured where she Rice is still suspended. 588 00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:19,399 Speaker 1: And Travis Kelcey does way too much stuff during the 589 00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:21,760 Speaker 1: week and not enough stuff on Sunday, right, I mean, 590 00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:24,840 Speaker 1: he's yelling, he's yelling at his team in the first half, 591 00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:27,679 Speaker 1: and who drops the big pass that turns into an 592 00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:31,440 Speaker 1: interception that helps kill the Chiefs. Travis Kelcey awful awful 593 00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:33,679 Speaker 1: optics for the Chiefs. Awful optics for Kelsey, that all 594 00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:35,560 Speaker 1: the yeah, I'm a star, a star, a star, and 595 00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:37,600 Speaker 1: look what's that. It's like in Rocky right when Rocky 596 00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:40,280 Speaker 1: was running around he was chasing the pigeons to catch him. 597 00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:45,800 Speaker 1: Mister t is all in the gym and he's like Balboa, Balboa, Balboa, 598 00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:49,080 Speaker 1: and it's like, okay, because he went Hollywood's Travis Kelsey 599 00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:51,959 Speaker 1: go on Hollywood and look what's that bad year? It's 600 00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:53,880 Speaker 1: not worked out. He's not had a great reason, it's 601 00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:56,200 Speaker 1: not started out well this year. His mistake contributed to 602 00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:59,480 Speaker 1: that loss yesterday. But it's an awful optic for the Chiefs. 603 00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:03,560 Speaker 1: But the fall of Kelsey really mirrors and stands for 604 00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:05,440 Speaker 1: what we've seen from the Chiefs. They were great for 605 00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:08,280 Speaker 1: a long time. Now eventually they hit a point where 606 00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:10,560 Speaker 1: they get passed by and you see all these other teams. 607 00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:13,280 Speaker 1: They're the third most talented team in the AFC West, 608 00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:14,400 Speaker 1: third most talent team. 609 00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:15,800 Speaker 4: I made a couple of things to it right. You 610 00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:18,760 Speaker 4: don't have anybody you trust in the run game. Pacheco 611 00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:22,680 Speaker 4: is clearly not the A list star that keep waiting for. 612 00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:26,800 Speaker 4: It's like Clyde Edwards Hilaire before him, same kind of thing. Flashes, 613 00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:30,560 Speaker 4: but not consistency with Mahomes. He's making plays with his legs, 614 00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:33,560 Speaker 4: but he's missing shots downfield. The timing isn't there, And 615 00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:36,760 Speaker 4: back to back week Kelsey inside the ten yard line 616 00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:39,360 Speaker 4: has had gaffes. This time it's an interception. Back in 617 00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:41,560 Speaker 4: week one, he had that one where he did that 618 00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:45,360 Speaker 4: little walkthrough scrape through the defense and then didn't make 619 00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:47,640 Speaker 4: a play on the ball, just off his hands and 620 00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:49,800 Speaker 4: falls in complete. Should have been a walk in touchdown. 621 00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:53,280 Speaker 4: So the timing and consistency isn't there, and you're not 622 00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:56,120 Speaker 4: good enough to win in those margins right now. 623 00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:59,240 Speaker 3: Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith 624 00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:02,360 Speaker 3: Show with Mike Harman weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven 625 00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:06,600 Speaker 3: pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app. 626 00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:10,760 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio Jason Smith Show with My best friend 627 00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:11,640 Speaker 1: Mike Harmon. 628 00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:13,120 Speaker 2: Well Dressed Cobot live from. 629 00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:16,960 Speaker 1: The Fox Sports Radio studios.

Looks like he 634 00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:32,440 Speaker 1: got his hand tangled up trying to make a tackle 635 00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:36,760 Speaker 1: and he has walked off the field, his hand being 636 00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:39,120 Speaker 1: one of those things where they hold your hand so 637 00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:42,440 Speaker 1: it doesn't move. And he was looked in a very 638 00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:45,560 Speaker 1: agitated state getting off the field. So we'll give you 639 00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:47,640 Speaker 1: an update on that. Again, that just happened. They just 640 00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:51,040 Speaker 1: went to commercial. I've only seen one small replay of 641 00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:53,160 Speaker 1: it yet, but it looked like you got his hand caught, 642 00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:54,600 Speaker 1: and you know that's never good. 643 00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:58,400 Speaker 4: A hand might have been an elbow, his arm got 644 00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:00,920 Speaker 4: pulled it. Yeah, that did not good. But they immediately 645 00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:02,760 Speaker 4: went to commercial. Yeah, yes, that was fast. 646 00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:04,440 Speaker 1: We'll see, we'll see what the rebund. I'm sure the 647 00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:05,880 Speaker 1: replays will be online as well, so. 648 00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:06,680 Speaker 4: I have no doubt. 649 00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:09,320 Speaker 1: Time out for the Play of the day.

But when you 659 00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:35,640 Speaker 1: haven't seen something like this in the NFL in forty years, 660 00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:37,640 Speaker 1: it gets to be the play of the day. 661 00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:43,000 Speaker 3: To the lens. 662 00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:45,680 Speaker 6: Chances gets hit off, the ball is loose and it's 663 00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:46,160 Speaker 6: a lie. 664 00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:49,880 Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, the other one. Oh bad balls 665 00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:52,360 Speaker 3: go through the hands of Caleb Johnson. He may have 666 00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:53,200 Speaker 3: touched that ball. 667 00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:54,320 Speaker 4: That would be a lot. 668 00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:54,680 Speaker 2: Bill. 669 00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:57,840 Speaker 4: Let's see what the ruling is here. 670 00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:04,640 Speaker 3: It is a touchdown. It's a touchdown. Oh, Seattle gets 671 00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:05,240 Speaker 3: to score. 672 00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:08,200 Speaker 4: The radio network, I'm the call. 673 00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:10,400 Speaker 1: George Alani recovers the ball in the end you know, 674 00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:12,440 Speaker 1: kind of like, oh he was he in fully in 675 00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:14,320 Speaker 1: bounds when he got it. He only had it for 676 00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:17,520 Speaker 1: a little bit. But he recovers the kickoff in the 677 00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:20,360 Speaker 1: end zone for a touchdown. Now, clearly, even though he 678 00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:23,160 Speaker 1: wouldn't admit it, Caleb john didn't know the rules and 679 00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:25,480 Speaker 1: said it doesn't matter that he touched the ball. Doesn't matter. 680 00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:28,000 Speaker 1: The ball landed in the kicking zone and bounced over 681 00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:30,000 Speaker 1: his head in the end zone. You have to down 682 00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:31,800 Speaker 1: that or the other team can get the ball. 683 00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:33,960 Speaker 4: If I wasn't sure, if I was sure, it really 684 00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:34,520 Speaker 4: doesn't matter. 685 00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:35,200 Speaker 1: It was I was. 686 00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:37,280 Speaker 4: I still gotta do what I gotta do. I'm still 687 00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:39,000 Speaker 4: gonna go in there and execute it the way it 688 00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:40,120 Speaker 4: needs to be executed. 689 00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:42,680 Speaker 1: But here is where this play is near and dear 690 00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:44,680 Speaker 1: to my heart, because the old rule in the NFL 691 00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:46,640 Speaker 1: used to be obviously, you know, with kicks h to 692 00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:49,120 Speaker 1: go ten yards and anybody can recover the kickoff. Right now, 693 00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:51,560 Speaker 1: it's it's much more complicated because new kickoff rules. But 694 00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:55,720 Speaker 1: forever that was the rule. And I only was able 695 00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:58,040 Speaker 1: to take advanta because I saw it actually happen in 696 00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:00,600 Speaker 1: the Giants game. I want to say that the Giants 697 00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:03,360 Speaker 1: and the Rams in like eighty five, I want to 698 00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:06,520 Speaker 1: say something like that, where the Rams didn't know, like 699 00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:08,360 Speaker 1: the ball was in the end zone and the returner 700 00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:10,920 Speaker 1: didn't think you had to down it, and Phil McConkie 701 00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:13,240 Speaker 1: ran down and jumped on it in the end zone 702 00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:15,640 Speaker 1: and or in the one yard line, and the Giants 703 00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:18,320 Speaker 1: had a touchdown. So that had happened right like that 704 00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:22,080 Speaker 1: had happened. And in my football game in high school. 705 00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:23,240 Speaker 1: This is one of the big highlights I had in 706 00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:24,960 Speaker 1: my high school career. I told you I was on 707 00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:26,920 Speaker 1: every special team because I was going to special teams 708 00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:31,440 Speaker 1: and I and I was the hawk on the kickoff team, 709 00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:33,600 Speaker 1: which meant I got in and went in to make 710 00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:37,080 Speaker 1: the tackle. And we played again. It was our last 711 00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:39,560 Speaker 1: game of my sophomore year. Were playing CANARSI. Right, this 712 00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:41,120 Speaker 1: is I'll tell you all the way through because I remember. 713 00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:44,800 Speaker 1: And we kicked off and the ball bounced like it 714 00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:47,920 Speaker 1: around the fifteen yard line and it started bouncing toward 715 00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:50,320 Speaker 1: the end zone and we're running down and I'm running 716 00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:52,760 Speaker 1: down and the returner doesn't know that he's got to 717 00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:54,240 Speaker 1: pick that ball up. He thinks, oh, it's going to 718 00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:55,440 Speaker 1: roll into the end zone. Do I get it? 719 00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:55,840 Speaker 2: Do I not? 720 00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:59,360 Speaker 1: And the ball like starts rolling, rolling, rolling, And you know, 721 00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:01,000 Speaker 1: I'm trying to all the way down field from the 722 00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:03,320 Speaker 1: thirty five yard line, right and I'm fourteen, and I'm 723 00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:07,200 Speaker 1: like five to one, so it takes right but I'm 724 00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:09,680 Speaker 1: seeing it. I'm going I'm gonna not I'm gonna jump 725 00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:12,359 Speaker 1: on this football because nobody knows the rule. Nobody knows 726 00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:15,240 Speaker 1: the rule, So I'm running. I actually passed a teammate 727 00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:17,560 Speaker 1: of mine who was fed but was also watching because 728 00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:18,880 Speaker 1: they were going to try to down it when it 729 00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:20,920 Speaker 1: got close to the to the to the goal line 730 00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:24,560 Speaker 1: and I'm running by everybody and I just yell, fall 731 00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:26,360 Speaker 1: on it, and he and I both fall in the 732 00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:28,319 Speaker 1: football at the same time and recover the fumble at 733 00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:31,080 Speaker 1: the one yard line and I stand up. The referee 734 00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:32,880 Speaker 1: points and I said, but I'm going crazy coming off 735 00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:35,319 Speaker 1: the field because I knew the rule. And we scored 736 00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:36,839 Speaker 1: a touchdown on the next play and we were up 737 00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:38,560 Speaker 1: six nothing. It's like, yeah, it was like one of 738 00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:41,160 Speaker 1: my big highlights. And because I knew the rule was 739 00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:45,680 Speaker 1: I and I remember going back. We both got on it, 740 00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:48,040 Speaker 1: but I got and I stand up and I'm like, yeah, 741 00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:50,680 Speaker 1: we got the ball for Dogga, And I'll tell you 742 00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:53,560 Speaker 1: this is this is me to this day. I think 743 00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:58,560 Speaker 1: had I just waited another second and a half or 744 00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:01,360 Speaker 1: tip the ball in the end zone, I would have 745 00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:03,160 Speaker 1: had a touchdown. Would I would have fell on it 746 00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:05,279 Speaker 1: in the end zone for a touchdown. But being a 747 00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:07,560 Speaker 1: team guy, because you know me team guy, I said, no, 748 00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:09,359 Speaker 1: just get the football in the one yard line. We'll 749 00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:11,480 Speaker 1: get a yard on the first play. But running and 750 00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:14,319 Speaker 1: I still remember yelling thought it and we both fell 751 00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:14,719 Speaker 1: and got out. 752 00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:15,520 Speaker 2: I got it. I got it. 753 00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:17,680 Speaker 1: I got it and there was nobody else on the ball, 754 00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:19,600 Speaker 1: just so I got up right away and I'm running 755 00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:23,200 Speaker 1: off the field. The coach said, can you go back 756 00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:25,279 Speaker 1: out there on the kickoff, and I said yeah, yeah, yeah, 757 00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:27,319 Speaker 1: so way back out there, and they put the same 758 00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:29,000 Speaker 1: kid out there again, and the kid and I could 759 00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:31,000 Speaker 1: see that the coach was screaming at him for you 760 00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:33,040 Speaker 1: got to pick up the ones, like okay, okay, okay, okay, 761 00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:35,960 Speaker 1: And then I ran about halfway down the field and 762 00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:38,279 Speaker 1: I was done, like I was, so that's it. 763 00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:39,279 Speaker 3: Not for that play. 764 00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:40,000 Speaker 4: That's all you got. 765 00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:42,200 Speaker 1: No, no, no for that play.
