2
00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:10,840
Speaker 1: Welcome back to another edition of the Around the NFL Podcast.

3
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:13,039
Speaker 1: My name is Dan Hansas, and I am joined by

4
00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:16,880
Speaker 1: a room filled with he Rose, Mark Sessler, Chris Westling,

5
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:21,639
Speaker 1: and Greg Rosenthal. What's up, boys, Heyden, I decided to

6
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:26,680
Speaker 1: change my cadence. They're hitting emphasis on different words, put

7
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 1: the emphasis on the wrong salabla. My advice, don't do

8
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 1: that again. Well, you just gotta listen. We're now at

9
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 1: week eleven. As we head toward week eleven, just gotta

10
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:37,559
Speaker 1: keep things fresh. You gotta keep the listener. This is

11
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:40,560
Speaker 1: broadcasting one oh one. Mark, maybe should take some times. Well,

12
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:42,239
Speaker 1: this is not a dress rehearsal. I don't know why

13
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:45,600
Speaker 1: you roll out the show with a completely bizarre entry

14
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 1: that no one approved of. Well, you took broadcasting one

15
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 1: oh one, one oh two, Actually doesn't it just go

16
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 1: to two oh one yours? Maybe it's The Around the

Speaker 1: change in l a NFL Networks. Greg Rosenthal. We'll talk

21
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 1: about his QB and X. It's ridiculous and I appreciate that.

22
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:22,959
Speaker 1: Why does I think I don't know? It seems like

23
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 1: a shot somehow. Do you think I'm hinting on a

24
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 1: class divide or something? That's it more in your head?

25
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 1: But Greg is a TV personality. We're all on TV

26
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 1: a lot more than I would ever be on solo

27
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 1: every Saturday. Pick them three times again three times. That

28
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 1: was an adept attempt at changing the subject. But but

29
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 1: it also is true. It's the fact part of the story.

30
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 1: I've not seen anyone in this room on TV this

31
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,760

38
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,799
Speaker 1: Chris Westling warring with NFL security over I D badge

39
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 1: placement UM. This happened shortly before UM lunch. On our

40
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 1: way to the Commissary. West was halted by a security

41
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 1: official that asked for him to wear his badge over

42
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 1: his shirt. West complied, Um, but then put the batch

43
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 1: back in his gene pocket, only to be once again

44
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 1: accosted by the same security personnel to be told, sir,

45
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 1: put that badge on display, and now I throw it

46
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 1: to Chris Westling for his reaction Badgegate. This particular security

47
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,360
Speaker 1: officer had been ranked number one in my security officer

48
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 1: rankings around the around the campus. Here she has descended

49
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,119
Speaker 1: all the way to the bottom spot, which was also

50
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,079
Speaker 1: one because you only knew her. She I like her.

51
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 1: She reads books when she's you know, when she has spared.

52
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,799
Speaker 1: She seems like she's big on self improvement. I expected

53
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 1: someone with that kind of mind to be above the

54
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 1: North the Nuremberg defensive. I was just following orders, use

55
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 1: common sense. You see me every day for three years.

56
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 1: You know my face. I don't have to wear a

57
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:31,640
Speaker 1: lanyard around my neck. My badge is quite clearly visible

58
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 1: on my belt loop Um counterpoint, Mark Seer. The only

59
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 1: counterpoint that I'd offer from her angle is that there

60
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 1: are instances where people who are dismissed or fired from

61
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 1: a company, someone that you've seen over and over, and

62
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 1: she's not in the loop of the NFL media transaction page,

63
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 1: and angry employee comes storming in and she just says, oh,

64
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 1: I recognize that face. He rolls right in, he or

65
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 1: she rolls right into a a news operation and takes

66
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 1: out fifteen people. She's going to be questioned, that's right,

67
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 1: what does that have to do with me? She doesn't

68
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 1: know whether or not you're actually even employed here at

69
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 1: this point. It really has nothing to do with you

70
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 1: at all. It has to do with the larger scope

71
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 1: of her jobs. People are employees? Are we hitting at

72
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,839
Speaker 1: something here? It's a Chris Westling? Don't you know who

73
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 1: I am? Scenario? It's about me. I say hi to

74
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 1: her every day for three years. Can I offer exhibit A?

75
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 1: What does my shirts say network with official NFL network

76
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:37,039
Speaker 1: and sign the NFL networks Chris Westley? Yeah, she I'm

77
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:40,359
Speaker 1: wearing an actual NFL network shirt. She doesn't need my

78
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 1: I D building again, Chriss has nothing to do with

79
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 1: Chris Westling. But let's say you were fired and you

80
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 1: came back tomorrow in an NFL network shirt and you know,

81
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 1: attempting to do something negative on the premises her job

82
00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 1: is to stop anyone without a badge from from from

83
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 1: from commanding their will on the company. Let's say I'm

84
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 1: fired and I wear a lanyard around my neck tomorrow.

85
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 1: Will you turn into the lanyard when you're fired? It's

86
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 1: I'm not bloody likely to cooperate with that authority issue.

87
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 1: Uh that there's no, there's no, Greg, Do you have

88
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 1: something that you want to share the NFL networks? Greg? Well,

89
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 1: it was interesting, you know, after we had a premaking

90
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 1: news Greg Rose was going to share his fake TVs. Greg.

91
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 1: You know, we we have a we had a pre

92
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 1: show meeting. I know that's surprising the listeners that any

93
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:36,799
Speaker 1: of this planned at all, but west to avoid um

94
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 1: passing by the security thing like found a whole new

95
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 1: tunnel way through the system. The new mouse there, the

96
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 1: new mouse here, that's what I call it, well, or

97
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 1: the first mouse. So the other one has not been

98
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 1: been built yet. So can I make a couple of

99
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 1: more a final point? How about you want to stick

100
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:57,720
Speaker 1: a pin in it? We could come back to it.

101
00:05:58,040 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 1: Why don't we do that because we've got to get

102
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:04,479
Speaker 1: into the show, all right? Yeah, No, I don't, I don't,

103
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 1: I don't want to short you. You are right no

104
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 1: matter what. Let's do the Monday Night recap stick a

105
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 1: pin in it. Let's stuck up about the ball that

106
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 1: happened on Monday. That was the actual original lyric. Yes,

107
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 1: Monday Night at the meadow Lands of New York, Giants

108
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:34,279
Speaker 1: hosted the Cincinnati Bengals. Two teams very evenly matched when

109
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 1: you look at the grand scheme of the NFL in

110
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 1: a lot of ways, and on this day the Giants

111
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 1: were just a little bit better. Let's hear one of

112
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 1: the two touchdown throws uh from Eli Manning on this evening,

113
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 1: Manning again surveys the defense, Blake Clockets twelve, takes the

114
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 1: snap back to throw find the Pockets Frost, you don't

115
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:59,599
Speaker 1: throw town. That's down Giants ten yards on the strike,

116
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 1: and the Giants are back on top with one seventeen

117
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:06,040
Speaker 1: to go on the half. That's Bob Papa w f

118
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 1: An actually three touchdowns for Manning. The Bengals came back

119
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 1: after the half put up ten points to take the lead,

120
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 1: but a late touchdown past the Sterling Shepherd uh was

121
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 1: the difference. The defense on both sides held the rest

122
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 1: of the way. Greg final score twenty one to twenty.

123
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 1: The Giants a little under the radar here six and

124
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 1: three and the Bengals a mess at three, five and one.

125
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 1: Your thoughts about this game, Well, these two teams, they

126
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 1: play the same game every week. They are very reliable.

127
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 1: The Bengals are disappointing and a little boring in the

128
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 1: same way every week. And the Giants find a way

129
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 1: to win these games. And I don't know about the

130
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 1: future of this team, but they deserve credit on defense

131
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 1: for what they're accomplishing because their defense was put in

132
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 1: a lot of bad spots by bad eli manning, interceptions

133
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 1: by bad special teams, and Jason Pierre Paul and Landon

134
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 1: Collins stepped up a lot of other good defense players

135
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 1: in as Jenkins and Steve Spagnolo I used to get

136
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 1: on season. You've come all the way around. Well, he's

137
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 1: having a great season. They they blitz like crazy. They're

138
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 1: effective when they blitz, they're tough to handle. Does uh

139
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 1: Steve Spagnola know that you guys have patched things up

140
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 1: to Steven. He's a big time listener of the show,

141
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 1: so it hurt him in the past. You know what

142
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 1: I used, West West. This was another hit to the

143
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 1: possibility of a West of thiss this January. First thing

144
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 1: I thought of, Yeah, I'm a little worried. Fortunately, they

145
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 1: play in a division which is not very competitive, so

146
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:34,839
Speaker 1: they have a chance to get that number of the

147
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 1: top spot in the division. And the Ravens have to

148
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,199
Speaker 1: go into Dallas this week, so I don't think the

149
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 1: Bengals are out of it by any means. But yeah,

150
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 1: it's a bit a bit of a blow to uh,

151
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:46,439
Speaker 1: my favorite holiday of the year. You start to think,

152
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:48,319
Speaker 1: and we all were agreement on this is kind of

153
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 1: a sneaky bad game for especially you know after first

154
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:56,200
Speaker 1: of all onions where onions are due to Ben McAdoo,

155
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 1: because I I I second guest that initially on fourth

156
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:03,079
Speaker 1: down on and goal from three yards out, uh he

157
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 1: could have kicked a field goal to make it UH

158
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 1: twenty to seventeen, and there was still a lot of

159
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:09,960
Speaker 1: time left in the game at that point. They opted

160
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 1: to go for it, which a lot of coaches don't,

161
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,839
Speaker 1: and they got the Eli and Shepherd connected to give

162
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:16,599
Speaker 1: the Giants a lead, and then for the rest of

163
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 1: the game, basically a trading of interceptions or punts and

164
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,959
Speaker 1: and the Giants it was almost uh anti climactic, the

165
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 1: way they ran out the clock, even they just ran

166
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 1: the ball in the Cincinnati couldn't stop him. I think

167
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 1: we finally you gotta get onion plans. It's true, no comment.

168
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,680
Speaker 1: What I mean, you know you're gonna you're gonna throll

169
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:42,560
Speaker 1: some SoundBite. I think that was every show. I think, Sydney,

170
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:47,079
Speaker 1: that was a coincidence, right, that was unintention all that time.

171
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 1: I mean, give me a break, we'd use we employed

172
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,199
Speaker 1: drops on the show, mark and that just happened to

173
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 1: connect with the beginning of your point. What I would

174
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 1: say is that, yes, Sydney, anything else. Uh, the Giants

175
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 1: the ball last night. We've been killing them all season

176
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:03,959
Speaker 1: and they got ground yordage when they need it. But

177
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 1: I want to I want to if you want to

178
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 1: make one defense for the Bengals, I don't think they're

179
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:11,319
Speaker 1: a good team, and if they ever snuck into the playoffs,

180
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 1: you're gonna get what you want. West They're gonna get

181
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 1: rocked in the playoffs. But this is the thing, this

182
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 1: is who they've lost to, the Steelers, the Broncos, the Cowboys,

183
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 1: the Patriots, and the Giants, all potential playoff teams. That said,

184
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:27,840
Speaker 1: if you want to be a playoff team. You're gonna

185
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 1: beat any of these. It's the same thing with the Bengals,

186
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 1: but how far away they are from last year's team

187
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 1: right now? The Giants are a much better team at

188
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:37,559
Speaker 1: this point. Well, we talk speaking to the Giants, we

189
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:41,079
Speaker 1: talked about Melvin Gordon a lot, because with fantasy football

190
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:43,960
Speaker 1: driving everything in in the NFL these days, offense gets

191
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:47,679
Speaker 1: all of the uh spotlight. Landon Collins is the defensive

192
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 1: answer from the other big plays all night, from a

193
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 1: liability and coverage as a rookie to a guy who

194
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 1: could be heading for an All Pro birth this year

195
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 1: at safety. He's the giants best defensive player this year.

196
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 1: He's the only player in the NFL that leads his

197
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 1: team in sacks, interceptions, and tackles, which is a an

198
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,440
Speaker 1: almost impossible combination with You need a lot of things

199
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 1: to come together, including your defensive line not having many

200
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 1: sex That's incredible. I'm surprised we haven't mentioned that. Your boy,

201
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:19,199
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham. I mean, he had what had to have

202
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:21,960
Speaker 1: been the most memorable route of the year. I mean,

203
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 1: I know, I know, you know this is Matt Harmon's

204
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:29,679
Speaker 1: you know, you know the routes. But that route that

205
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 1: he that route that we're allowed to talk about rights,

206
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 1: that route he threw unpacked me and Jones insane. It

207
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 1: was insane they would put that in the Route Hall

208
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 1: of Fame. What is it called an up and up? Down?

209
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 1: And up up? And what's the route calls? Shoot harm?

210
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 1: Keep named it up and down? Definitely not like that.

211
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 1: I felt bad for I felt bad for Pacman that.

212
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 1: I mean, that was the equivalent of being posterized. Yeah,

213
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 1: uh yeah. And the and the Bengals, Yeah, I mean, listen,

214
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:03,719
Speaker 1: we look at their schedule here. I think they I

215
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 1: think their next game, by the way, um against the Bills.

216
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 1: That's our That's one of those games. Disappointed even even more.

217
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 1: He might actually die because the loser of this game

218
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 1: Bills Bengals. I don't I think you can write them off.

219
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 1: Both those teams desperately need that to stay in the picture.

220
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 1: This This Bengals team used to be tough. They let

221
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 1: Paul Perkins and Rashad Jennings run out the clock. They

222
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:32,719
Speaker 1: used to have a good offense. They offense had two

223
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 1: sixty four yards in this game, and they don't. They're

224
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:37,679
Speaker 1: all big plays. It's almost the opposite of what the

225
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 1: Bengals used. Nothing, nothing sustaining. It's just they have an

226
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 1: occasional big play, but that's it. Nothing backs. West's summertime,

227
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 1: every summertime. You know announcement that running backs are a

228
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 1: year to year proposition. What is going on with Jeremy Hill.

229
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 1: You talk about how they used to be tough, Jeremy

230
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:56,440
Speaker 1: will Jeremy Hill used to impose his will on defenses

231
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:59,199
Speaker 1: and they would they would choke out the clock. It's

232
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 1: the opposite, right, Well, they've gone from a team that

233
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 1: had an offensive line on par with the Cowboys last

234
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 1: season to an offensive line that's in the bottom fourth,

235
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,439
Speaker 1: bottom quarter of the league this year. The offensive line

236
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 1: has been a liability all year long. Here's the thing

237
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 1: that Eli Man is not having a good year. I

238
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:17,200
Speaker 1: don't think this Giant's team is going anywhere. Even they

239
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 1: have the Bears in the Brown's neck. So they have

240
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 1: a chance to get to eight and three and they're

241
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:24,199
Speaker 1: in a good position to maybe make the playoffs. But

242
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 1: they've been a consistently bad passing game. That didn't really

243
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:30,079
Speaker 1: change last night. So there you go. That is the

244
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 1: Monday night recap. But we should we should mention the intense, ridiculous,

245
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:40,440
Speaker 1: almost farcical irony of Tom Coughlin taking up so much

246
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 1: time at halftime giving a speech that he forced a

247
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:47,680
Speaker 1: delay of the game. The man who is so concerned

248
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:51,440
Speaker 1: about time and everything, Imagine how annoyed Tom Coughlin would

249
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:54,080
Speaker 1: be as a coach. And he got on the mic

250
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:56,079
Speaker 1: and he said, I I know we're a little late here.

251
00:13:57,640 --> 00:13:59,559
Speaker 1: That is not allowed. He said, I know we're a

252
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 1: little late here, but I'm not getting cheated out of

253
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 1: my night. That's what he literally does not bother me

254
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 1: nearly is as much as it seems to bother I

255
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 1: just thought it was funny. I'm not really bothered, but

256
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:11,080
Speaker 1: it was just it was funny. You know, Grandpa Tom,

257
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 1: You're furious, furious because Grandpa Tom not only was he

258
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:18,679
Speaker 1: underminding Macadoo before the season started with his little trips

259
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 1: to the team facility to use the StairMaster, now he's

260
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 1: he's delaying the game, actually affecting games because it's his

261
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 1: moment to wait. We have to wait like an extra

262
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 1: hundred and eighties seconds for the second half of a

263
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 1: largely dull Monday night football. Wait, was he the reason

264
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 1: we were spared? Stephen a Smith this week. Now it

265
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 1: was I don't know where we really I believe we were.

266
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 1: They didn't show the Coughlin, they didn't show the coflin,

267
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 1: but they did make it clear. And and people covering

268
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:50,360
Speaker 1: the game, including our our very own Connor or you know,

269
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 1: they had the quotes from Coughlin. Are you kidding me?

270
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 1: Come on, get off the get off the podium. Let's

271
00:14:56,280 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 1: do some news. I'm not going seven and nine. Jeff

272
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 1: Fisher doesn't want to go seven or nine, and now

273
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 1: he's gonna take his chance with the kid in the

274
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 1: Los Angeles Rams finally ready to see if Jared Goff

275
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 1: can be uh the guy they need him to be

276
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 1: and turn their offense around the season. NFL Networks Michael

277
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 1: Silver confirmed uh with Goff that the Rams planned to

278
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 1: start the rookie on Sunday against the Dolphins in l A.

279
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 1: USBN first reported that news. Uh case Keenum, who started

280
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 1: nine games. They started that guy nine times. We'll hit

281
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 1: the bench after a win, ironically, but another game in

282
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 1: which West he was unable to move the offense and

283
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 1: score any touchdowns. It's time. I am generally in favor

284
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 1: of any move that makes boring teams more interesting. This

285
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 1: will make the Rams more fun to watch. Jared Goff

286
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 1: has an arm. We saw that in the preseason. It's

287
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 1: not Jay Cutler and Matt Stafford or Joe Flacco, but

288
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 1: he's got a much bigger arm than case Keenum. It's

289
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 1: gonna allow him to throw outside the numbers and down

290
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 1: the field as long as he can pick up blitz is,

291
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 1: decipher uh defenses in the middle of the field, and

292
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 1: get get his team to the line of scrimmage. All

293
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 1: of those areas he struggled with in the preseason. Well,

294
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 1: that's my my question for the Rams is it was

295
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 1: less than two weeks ago, if not even before that

296
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 1: time where they said he's not ready. There's nothing about

297
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 1: him that's ready. So all these things that in theory

298
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 1: would be good about him, he is. He suddenly ready

299
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 1: now now that you have you've got you know after

300
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 1: this week aaindst the Dolphins two games on the road,

301
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 1: including one against the New England Patriots, and be you

302
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 1: stuck with case Keenum for an incredible amount of time.

303
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 1: Are you going to give this to go off until

304
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 1: the end, this goes very poorly? Are they going to panic?

305
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:47,120
Speaker 1: I can't imagine, but it's a good question to ask.

306
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 1: With this coaching staff, you would think Goff has the

307
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 1: job for the rest of the year. I think part

308
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 1: of it was they can't get worse. I mean they're

309
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 1: literally dead last in the league and scoring. In the

310
00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 1: last thirty four drives that Keenum had, they scored one

311
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 1: touchdown and that touchdown was a garbage time touchdown against

312
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 1: the Panthers. That thirty four drives, he had five picks

313
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:12,119
Speaker 1: in that time. So I think he's probably made improvements.

314
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:14,879
Speaker 1: You would you would think in practice he's gonna have

315
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,440
Speaker 1: to score points. You got a four game stretch after

316
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:20,879
Speaker 1: this Sunday where you play the Saints, Patriots, Falcons, and Seahawks.

317
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:24,359
Speaker 1: He's gonna have to generate points. Well, I think what

318
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 1: Steve Wish had said, and he's been reporting on this

319
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 1: issue all year, basically, they want to see flashes from him,

320
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:34,240
Speaker 1: don't turn the ball over and hopefully unlock some of

321
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 1: Todd Gurley's potential by keeping defenses from stacking the box.

322
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:40,120
Speaker 1: That's what they want to see out of Golf. I'm

323
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 1: not sure they're asking him to beat the Patriots and Seahawks.

324
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 1: Do you feel like Jared Goff, who has not taken

325
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:50,200
Speaker 1: a regular season snap in the NFL. Is going to

326
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:53,920
Speaker 1: scare defenses enough to back off the way they've defended

327
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 1: the Rams. It's a fair question. I think if you're

328
00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 1: the Rams, you hang your hat on what Dak Prescott,

329
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz and even for a stretcher to Cody Kessler

330
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 1: have done it as rookies, and they haven't been a liability.

331
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 1: They've been pretty I think in most cases they've been

332
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 1: better than the veteran alternatives. The most important thing in

333
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 1: this season for the Rams is to develop golf, and

334
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 1: it sure seems like the best way to do that

335
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:22,440
Speaker 1: is to play. Most quarterbacks say that, I mean most

336
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:24,960
Speaker 1: jobs are like that. Even if he really struggles, I

337
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 1: think it's it's the best thing from long term. And

338
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:28,920
Speaker 1: you look at the schedule. This week is pretty tough

339
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 1: against a good Dolphins front, not a great secondary. You know, Saints,

340
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:35,199
Speaker 1: that's a relatively easy matchup in terms of the defense.

341
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:37,240
Speaker 1: Patriots at this point, I think, is not a tough

342
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:39,720
Speaker 1: matchup in terms of the defense. Falcon's not that good.

343
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:41,840
Speaker 1: Forty n are coming up. You have to go to Seattle,

344
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:45,159
Speaker 1: but otherwise it's okay. You know, those don't feel like

345
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:48,879
Speaker 1: Todd Gurley special. No, no, I'm talking more for golf,

346
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,639
Speaker 1: but but not terribly good pass rushers except for that

347
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:54,360
Speaker 1: trip to Seattle. Let's move on to talk about another

348
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:59,119
Speaker 1: quarterback situation. Dak Prescott and the Cowboys have one eighth straight. Uh,

349
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:01,120
Speaker 1: there's no way the guy is gonna lose his job.

350
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones confirmed as much on Sunday, saying he's gonna

351
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 1: continue to ride with the hot hand. And where does

352
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:10,920
Speaker 1: that leave Tony Romo. Romo Um had a press conference

353
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:16,360
Speaker 1: where he spoke candidly about the situation, and Um, let's

354
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 1: hear a little bit right now said to say the

355
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 1: first half of the season has been emotional would be

356
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 1: a huge understatement. Getting hurt when you feel like you

357
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:26,640
Speaker 1: have the best team you've ever had was a soul

358
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:31,440
Speaker 1: crushing moment for me. Seasons are fleeting, games become more precious,

359
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:36,920
Speaker 1: Chances for success diminish. Your potential successor has arrived. The

360
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:40,400
Speaker 1: press is whispering. Everyone has doubts. You've spent your career

361
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 1: working to get here. You see, football's a meritocracy. You

362
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:48,960
Speaker 1: aren't handed anything. You earn everything every single day, over

363
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 1: and over again. You have to prove it. A great

364
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 1: example of this is Dak Prescott and what he's done.

365
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 1: He's earned the right to be our quarterback. Romo spoke

366
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 1: for six minutes and uh, right there, Greggy starts. You know,

367
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 1: he reads off the card and reads a statement, doesn't

368
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:10,200
Speaker 1: take questions. Uh, he's earned the right to be our quarterback.

369
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 1: About that, Prescott, that's hard to say, but he's earned it. Wow,

370
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 1: what a scene. It was hard. It was hard felt.

371
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:22,440
Speaker 1: I mean, we always criticize guys for talking in cliches,

372
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:25,639
Speaker 1: and that's the you know, he he did not do that.

373
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:28,120
Speaker 1: He he bared his soul. When you hear that he's

374
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 1: gonna make a statement, you almost think that's taking the

375
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:32,440
Speaker 1: easy way out. But he didn't at all. He he

376
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 1: just wanted to kind of bear his soul to all

377
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:36,640
Speaker 1: the fans. And I think part of it is being

378
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:39,640
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys quarterback to not just any other team

379
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 1: that that He's just it's hard to really imagine how

380
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 1: big of a deal he is in that in that

381
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:49,680
Speaker 1: area especially. I'm gonna look back on this and years

382
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:52,360
Speaker 1: years from now as one of my favorite press conferences

383
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:57,119
Speaker 1: I've ever heard. The ideal way for a leader a

384
00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:01,160
Speaker 1: veteran to address this situation where he to put himself aside.

385
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 1: He called it soul crushing, and if you're in his place,

386
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 1: you can understand. But he hit the right note, and

387
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:09,440
Speaker 1: any of us who have ever been on a team

388
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 1: before know what it's about. Like each season, it's its

389
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 1: own growing organism and you can't stand in the way.

390
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 1: He said, this is magical what's going on with the Cowboys.

391
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 1: He kept that in perspective, and I think perspective is

392
00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:23,439
Speaker 1: the right word for that press conference. Yeah, I mean,

393
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:28,159
Speaker 1: I think with Romo, he's never really viewed. It seems

394
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:32,119
Speaker 1: to me the way that people talk about the psychotic

395
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:35,680
Speaker 1: preparation of Peyton Manning and Tom Brady and how much

396
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:38,960
Speaker 1: it means to them. But all we've heard about Romo

397
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:41,240
Speaker 1: over the last couple of years, especially in the way

398
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 1: that they this is an organization that allowed Jason Garrett

399
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 1: to grow from a backup quarterback into a prized assistant

400
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 1: into a head coach that they allowed to weather through

401
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:55,480
Speaker 1: all storms. I think that they have nurtured Tony Romo

402
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,480
Speaker 1: in a similar way and now view him as not

403
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:02,120
Speaker 1: just their quarterback, but a beating heart for that team

404
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:04,880
Speaker 1: and someone that does not get the credit he deserves

405
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:09,320
Speaker 1: for stepping aside in this situation right now and doing

406
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:11,399
Speaker 1: it in in a wonderful fashion. I mean, it's you know,

407
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 1: people are gonna gush about it, but it also deserves

408
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 1: it in case. It's something what struck me because it

409
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:19,440
Speaker 1: was so unusual. It's something that I could imagine reading

410
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:22,120
Speaker 1: something on like the player's tribune, that he would put

411
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 1: out like here's here's the link about where where I'm

412
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 1: at right now, but to do it in front of

413
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 1: the people and to I mean, it was just a

414
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:32,159
Speaker 1: really like a special scene for for Dallas and the

415
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:34,880
Speaker 1: absolute best case scenario in terms of how you want

416
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:38,400
Speaker 1: the proud veteran to act and making it very clear

417
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:40,560
Speaker 1: that he wants he's here to help doct and referencing

418
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 1: how people helped him when he was once that young

419
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 1: upstart that was taking the league over, which I think

420
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:48,080
Speaker 1: makes everyone feel old in this room because I feel

421
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 1: like just yesterday Romo was the new kid on on

422
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:54,400
Speaker 1: the block. But yeah, what what a scene. I think

423
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:56,959
Speaker 1: you can also, if you're a Cowboys fan, you had

424
00:22:57,040 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 1: to be struck by the contrast between two thousand fifteen

425
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 1: when you let Greg Hardy infiltrate your locker room, become

426
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:09,680
Speaker 1: a poison, become a carcinogenic agent, and spread throughout that

427
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:12,680
Speaker 1: season to the point where you knew you couldn't overcome that.

428
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:15,480
Speaker 1: And the opposite is going on this year. If Dak

429
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:19,200
Speaker 1: Prescott goes down with an injury, everybody's gonna have Tony

430
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 1: Romo's back to it a greater degree than they ever

431
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:24,200
Speaker 1: had before because of how well he handled it. And

432
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:26,960
Speaker 1: that's a good point that this is not the It

433
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 1: sure feels like the end of Tony Romo in Dallas.

434
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:33,119
Speaker 1: It might not be exactly. A lot can happen. At

435
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:35,880
Speaker 1: the very least, he's the backup quarterback for the rest

436
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:39,840
Speaker 1: of the season, which is a significant role. And the

437
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 1: thing that struck me though, was was him looking back

438
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 1: because I think the injuries that he's had is part

439
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:46,920
Speaker 1: of this. I mean, he has not played for a

440
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:49,760
Speaker 1: year now and he's not getting back on the field.

441
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 1: But when he talked yeah, and when he talked about

442
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:57,760
Speaker 1: Dax last ten weeks and he said that that's a

443
00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:01,159
Speaker 1: that's a special time in your life. I mean, you

444
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 1: see a guy who knows and he talked about it

445
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 1: that he's closer to the end than the beginning, and

446
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:09,680
Speaker 1: he's thinking back to how special that was to be

447
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:13,399
Speaker 1: that young, that young guy, and that he's not that

448
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:16,199
Speaker 1: guy anymore, and you know, and and then realizing that, well,

449
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:18,960
Speaker 1: you know, he did a lot of self reflecting when

450
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 1: he closed the statement with when you've conquered the man

451
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:24,400
Speaker 1: inside of you, the man across from you really doesn't matter,

452
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:27,720
Speaker 1: he said. And he thought about this for two months

453
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:33,399
Speaker 1: maybe maybe almost. Yeah, that's true. That's crazy, um and

454
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:36,159
Speaker 1: most right, that's what That's sort of what I was

455
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:42,200
Speaker 1: thinking too. And it gets it's almost a contrast, you know, Drew.

456
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 1: If this has been compared to bled so Brady a lot,

457
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 1: and it could be compared to bled So Romo a

458
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:50,920
Speaker 1: little bit too, And um, I think you can draw

459
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:54,479
Speaker 1: contrasts and how those were handled. And Tony Romo might

460
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:57,640
Speaker 1: have thought, I'm gonna handle this in a different way,

461
00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:00,440
Speaker 1: um than it was handled when I was when I

462
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:02,480
Speaker 1: was coming up, and this is how I'm gonna do it.

463
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 1: So yeah, this is obviously a huge story that will

464
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 1: continue to be a big story, not only because it

465
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:10,360
Speaker 1: has a star quarterback involved the Vermo stature, but it's

466
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 1: also the cowboys and his all the drama. So this

467
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:16,040
Speaker 1: season really all of a sudden from a greater prospective.

468
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:19,320
Speaker 1: The NFL has the focal point. Storyline is now starting

469
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:21,679
Speaker 1: to focus in on the Cowboys and we'll see how

470
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 1: it plays out. We will be here to track it.

471
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 1: Let's move on. In the news, Blair Walsh finally ran

472
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:31,359
Speaker 1: ran out of lives in Minnesota. The Vikings released the

473
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:36,680
Speaker 1: kicker who um wasn't so long ago signed a lucrative

474
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 1: extension with the team, but after missing his fourth extra

475
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 1: point attempt of the season on Sunday, this coming after

476
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:47,000
Speaker 1: he missed another extra point the week before, the Vikings,

477
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:49,479
Speaker 1: now on a four game losing streak, decided they couldn't

478
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 1: do it anymore. They drop Uh Blair Walsh and they

479
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:57,119
Speaker 1: are expected to sign Uh Kai for bath Uh And

480
00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:02,119
Speaker 1: according to NFL Networks Mike gar Folo, so Blair Walsh

481
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:08,400
Speaker 1: it's the most pressure filled position in the game in football,

482
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:12,199
Speaker 1: and nobody's happy to see Blair Walsh go. But if

483
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:14,240
Speaker 1: you're the Vikings, in your formula calls for you to

484
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 1: play close games, rely on your defense, you need a

485
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:20,159
Speaker 1: reliable kicker, and Blair Walsh was the opposite for the

486
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:23,200
Speaker 1: entire season and it was hard to you know, when

487
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 1: you miss a twenty seven yard field goal attempt that

488
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 1: ends your season in the playoffs, that's hard for any

489
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:30,240
Speaker 1: kicker to come back from. We've seen it through the

490
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:32,920
Speaker 1: years how these things can stick with kickers, and it

491
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 1: had clearly had to have a role. He missed eight

492
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:40,040
Speaker 1: kicks this season. Only Roberto Aguayo, ironically a second round

493
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:43,119
Speaker 1: pick this year, also dealing with pressure issues, has been

494
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:45,200
Speaker 1: worse than it well, and four of those were p

495
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:47,240
Speaker 1: a t s and fer field goals, and the in

496
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 1: the midst extra point against Washington came at a point

497
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:55,640
Speaker 1: where Minnesota's offense uh had had woken up, they looked good,

498
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:58,040
Speaker 1: and they were about to score twenty one on answered points.

499
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:00,200
Speaker 1: He misses the p A T. Youre going to half

500
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:03,200
Speaker 1: and the Vikings don't score again. It's not Blair Walsh's

501
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:10,080
Speaker 1: fault entirely, but he had his share of momentum destroyer

502
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 1: and he was he was like about his famous and

503
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:16,560
Speaker 1: doing as well as a kicker can be to come

504
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:18,560
Speaker 1: into the league. But that's the nature of that position.

505
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:22,000
Speaker 1: It drives home Adam Vinitari's point, which he's made several times,

506
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:24,679
Speaker 1: that there are thousands of human beings who can kick

507
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 1: fifty yard field goals and can out kick him in practice.

508
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:30,760
Speaker 1: But this is a game where it rewards the mental

509
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:33,200
Speaker 1: giants at that position. You have to be mentally strong

510
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:37,399
Speaker 1: to be an NFL kicker. Uh, let's move on, Rob Gronkowski.

511
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 1: If you were watching the Sunday night game between the

512
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:44,359
Speaker 1: Seahawks and Patriots, took a really really big shot from

513
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:47,680
Speaker 1: Earl Thomas on us a route down the seam in

514
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:50,520
Speaker 1: the second quarter of that game. Uh had the win

515
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 1: knocked out of him. Uh sat out the sat out

516
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:55,439
Speaker 1: for about five plays, but then came on to finish

517
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:59,159
Speaker 1: the game. Afterwards, he had this to say about the

518
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:02,440
Speaker 1: hit and an almost cavalier attitude. He hit me fair,

519
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:07,120
Speaker 1: fair and square. It's football. You're gonna get laid out eventually.

520
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:10,760
Speaker 1: But then we learned. The next day, NFL Network insider

521
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 1: Ian rapp Report reported that gron suffered what is believed

522
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:15,879
Speaker 1: to be a punctured lung and the team's lost to

523
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:19,240
Speaker 1: Seattle on Sunday. Uh He's expected to miss Sunday's game

524
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:21,959
Speaker 1: against the forty Niners because of the injury, and perhaps

525
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:25,760
Speaker 1: more we'll have to see. But uh, yeah, Greg, this

526
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:28,919
Speaker 1: is obviously when you take Ronk out of the equation,

527
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:32,520
Speaker 1: and no matter how long it sucks, it does. But

528
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 1: you know, their schedule is insanely easy. It's a ridiculous

529
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 1: schedule coming up. You know, it's forty Niners, then it's

530
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:44,040
Speaker 1: the Jets. It's then it's the Jets, and then after

531
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 1: that it's the Rams. It's the Rams, and it's the Ravens,

532
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:49,720
Speaker 1: which are a week He'll be back in and look,

533
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:52,080
Speaker 1: they have depth, they have a pro bowler. I believe

534
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:54,640
Speaker 1: at the position in Martella Spenet. Their offense will be fine,

535
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:56,920
Speaker 1: especially against San Francisco. You know, you worry if it's

536
00:28:57,040 --> 00:28:58,720
Speaker 1: it's a long term thing. And you think back to

537
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:01,320
Speaker 1: that game. They're throwing to fade to a guy with

538
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:04,360
Speaker 1: that sort of injury in a huge game. You know

539
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:06,000
Speaker 1: they didn't They didn't know that at the time, but

540
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 1: it's strange to think back he played through it. We

541
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 1: can't comprehend the level of toughness it takes to play

542
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 1: in the NFL. The last time this happened on a

543
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 1: grand scale with Tony Romo hit a puncture. It's a

544
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:19,360
Speaker 1: good and didn't miss a start, right, that's a good.

545
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:21,240
Speaker 1: That's a good call. I mean he missed five plays

546
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:23,240
Speaker 1: and and after the game all he could say was,

547
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:26,239
Speaker 1: you know he got me good. You know eventually you're

548
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 1: gonna get laid out if you play in the end.

549
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 1: There is a tedious, very tedious aspect to Twitter when

550
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:35,080
Speaker 1: this kind of information bubbles up, and it's like, whoa,

551
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 1: he played through a puncture? Look now, point taking. But

552
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:40,719
Speaker 1: then all these sports writers being like if I had

553
00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:42,960
Speaker 1: a puncture and lung, wouldn't even be able to get

554
00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 1: out of my desk. It's like, we we know you

555
00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:52,440
Speaker 1: would not. You're a hundred and sixty pounds and five

556
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:57,440
Speaker 1: ft six, he would not. That's the average sportswriter height

557
00:29:57,520 --> 00:30:03,800
Speaker 1: and weight. I'm like one, you know, so heavier than you. Um, yeah,

558
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:09,080
Speaker 1: what were we talking about? Blair Wallash, No Gronk, I

559
00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:13,840
Speaker 1: made us. Mark really threw me off. Dan's verclemped after

560
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:16,480
Speaker 1: this Roman Fresh conference and he can't really move on.

561
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:21,040
Speaker 1: I think like all sports writers being five ft six

562
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:23,800
Speaker 1: one six, it's interesting. That's not a good that's not

563
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:26,160
Speaker 1: a good heightweight, It would not be. But I mean,

564
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:29,280
Speaker 1: have you been in the scrums with sports writers? They're

565
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:34,720
Speaker 1: they're beefier. They usually little fall That's where I would

566
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:39,760
Speaker 1: put it, all right, correct, Let's move on and talk

567
00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:46,280
Speaker 1: about she woke back to sleep. Kristin Michael breaking Really,

568
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:50,040
Speaker 1: I already got excited about Christin Michael. Yes, I asked

569
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 1: for it happened during the show. It's breaking news. Kristin

570
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 1: Michael has been uh waived by the Seattle Seahawks, the

571
00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:00,720
Speaker 1: odd man out in that backfield. Now, as it turned out,

572
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:03,920
Speaker 1: Thomas Rawls coming back from his injury. C J. Precise

573
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 1: has really uh thrived in his role. And West will

574
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:11,920
Speaker 1: start with you. You believe that that Michael is ready

575
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 1: for a big season. And it wasn't like he was

576
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 1: a bust necessarily, but apparently within that building he was

577
00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:19,920
Speaker 1: deemed expendable. He wasn't They were close to a bust.

578
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 1: I'm shocked by this move. I I get why they

579
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:26,920
Speaker 1: like Thomas Rawles better. He's a better tackle breaker, he's

580
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 1: more physical, he's more in line with what like Marshawn

581
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:32,920
Speaker 1: Lynch was, And I get this. CJ. Procise is definitely

582
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 1: gonna be your passing down back. So where does that

583
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:37,959
Speaker 1: leave christ and Michael. It leaves him without a rule. Uh,

584
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:40,200
Speaker 1: it also leaves you, I guess, without you could say

585
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 1: it leaves you without insurance for roles, but then they

586
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:46,160
Speaker 1: feel like Precise can handle that. So I guess he

587
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:48,720
Speaker 1: got caught in a roster crunch. I think I think

588
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:52,120
Speaker 1: there's more to this story. There's no way that cutting

589
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 1: kristin Michael if there's not more to the story. And

590
00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 1: this is a guy who has had more to the

591
00:31:57,160 --> 00:32:01,680
Speaker 1: story multiple times, including at the same team, in terms

592
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 1: of his work habits or how he was a professional essentially,

593
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:08,800
Speaker 1: so there's got to be more. I mean, we just

594
00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:11,560
Speaker 1: talked about Tony Romo could be more graceful about a

595
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:15,719
Speaker 1: difficult situation. We have no idea how Michael responded inside

596
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:18,680
Speaker 1: the building to other running backs rising up. He has

597
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:22,120
Speaker 1: a hundred and seventeen attempts, Precise and Rawls combined have

598
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 1: forty five, and so I thought he ran really well too.

599
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:27,120
Speaker 1: I don't think that Michael on the field was an

600
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:29,320
Speaker 1: issue at all. I'm surprised. I'm a surprise as West

601
00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:31,760
Speaker 1: about Well, how about a team out there now? Uh

602
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:34,240
Speaker 1: like the Giants and any other number of teams that

603
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:36,520
Speaker 1: have an issue in their backfield. Maybe he's a guy

604
00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:38,719
Speaker 1: who take a chance, But again, this is all very

605
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:40,760
Speaker 1: familiar though because he's been bouncing around the league now

606
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:42,720
Speaker 1: for three or four years. He had proven more this

607
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:45,160
Speaker 1: time around. This season, he's proven he can play. He's

608
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:47,400
Speaker 1: proven on the field more. But it's a red flag

609
00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:51,120
Speaker 1: that the Seahawks, who know him the best, had concerns.

610
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:53,720
Speaker 1: I'm I am sure we're going to hear something else

611
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:56,080
Speaker 1: about this that that wouldn't surprise me at all. I

612
00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:58,760
Speaker 1: would say though, that if Rawls comes in and blows

613
00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:01,160
Speaker 1: the doors off, but he's gonna assume that like for

614
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:04,240
Speaker 1: the last month, Christen Michael was terrible. It's not fair,

615
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:07,200
Speaker 1: knowing what we know about mobile core quarterbacks, that they

616
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:09,800
Speaker 1: give running backs a huge advantage. It's not gonna be

617
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:12,920
Speaker 1: fair that like a suddenly healthy Russell Wilson is giving

618
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:15,040
Speaker 1: roles an advantage that Michael didn't have for a month.

619
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:16,920
Speaker 1: I thought he ran really well. He didn't when the

620
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:19,000
Speaker 1: numbers when the numbers were there. Now that with that

621
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:22,400
Speaker 1: good reiver, what that what that said, process has more

622
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:25,440
Speaker 1: to offer than we expected. True, you know, he he looks.

623
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 1: You don't want to give him the ball twenty four

624
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:29,040
Speaker 1: times every week like they did against the Patriots. But

625
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:31,080
Speaker 1: he had a lot of success running between the tackles.

626
00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:33,400
Speaker 1: I mean, he wasn't just a passing down guy. He

627
00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:35,600
Speaker 1: he had a lot of six seven eight yard runs

628
00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:38,480
Speaker 1: up the middle. You don't just cut Chris now Michael though,

629
00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:41,520
Speaker 1: for giggles, there's got to be he's not the least

630
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:44,400
Speaker 1: valuable player on your roster. There has to be something

631
00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:46,960
Speaker 1: about maybe that they are very turned off by. Maybe

632
00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:49,080
Speaker 1: he can land in Minnesota and save the team of

633
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:51,720
Speaker 1: a t L season. It's true. Oh I like that

634
00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:59,240
Speaker 1: about christ and Michael running it sucks? He does, he

635
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:03,200
Speaker 1: does follow lot. Yes, have you watched the Minnesota's running backs?

636
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:05,760
Speaker 1: A guy in socks would be an upgrade. I'm just saying,

637
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:07,960
Speaker 1: is he gonna go to a team and we'll see

638
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:12,000
Speaker 1: he'll get picked up. He'll get picked up, we assume, right, yeah, assume?

639
00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:19,200
Speaker 1: All right? Anything else to breaking definitely worthy of breaking.

640
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:24,120
Speaker 1: So much breaking news today. Wow, this podcast is used

641
00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:29,000
Speaker 1: to be involved in those breaking news. I would be

642
00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:31,160
Speaker 1: a voice in the room. Should we break it? Should

643
00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:34,280
Speaker 1: we not? Who cares? And then you went to Hollywood

644
00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:39,440
Speaker 1: front of the big camera say that's what's happening in

645
00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:43,160
Speaker 1: the news. Uh all right, Oh West, do you want

646
00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:45,960
Speaker 1: to follow up with your point on the sec Well,

647
00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:48,040
Speaker 1: I think it's fair to say that a forty two

648
00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:50,520
Speaker 1: year old man should not have to have something dangling

649
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:54,360
Speaker 1: around his neck while he's working. Lanyards are for like kids,

650
00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:58,600
Speaker 1: not for a groom man. Lanyards for kids. Your thoughts, well,

651
00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:00,680
Speaker 1: that that part of it. I I'm on the fence

652
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:02,880
Speaker 1: this one. I've just been listening and watching because I

653
00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:09,800
Speaker 1: understand West's frustration. There is something um emasculating or dehumanizing

654
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:11,960
Speaker 1: or just makes you feel like a child, not really

655
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:14,520
Speaker 1: a master. It was more like a child college freshman

656
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:17,080
Speaker 1: almost yeah, that you have to wear something right, so

657
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:19,800
Speaker 1: forget it. It makes you feel like a prisoner in

658
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:21,560
Speaker 1: a cell that you have to walk around waiting for

659
00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:23,640
Speaker 1: some security guard to tell you to put something on.

660
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:26,680
Speaker 1: It's on my mind. The surprising amount, like when I

661
00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:28,800
Speaker 1: get out of my car in the morning, like gotta

662
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:35,040
Speaker 1: go put my little uh lanyard aren't something. It's very

663
00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:36,719
Speaker 1: annoying about it. To be clear, this is a new

664
00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:39,200
Speaker 1: rule on our campus. It started a couple of weeks ago.

665
00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:41,960
Speaker 1: We have been wearing badges on our belt loop and

666
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:45,040
Speaker 1: now they bought lanyards for everyone. Are forcing us to

667
00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:47,080
Speaker 1: wear these things that feel like you're being strangled by

668
00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:49,640
Speaker 1: a really week two year old this you know what,

669
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:52,080
Speaker 1: I also want to throw this out there. This hit

670
00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:54,600
Speaker 1: some West go ahead, well, sometimes you know I don't

671
00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:58,960
Speaker 1: just following orders. An doesn't stop being an ob fishes.

672
00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:02,480
Speaker 1: Jerk West doesn't like the wire from our headsets, and

673
00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:05,319
Speaker 1: he's had some incidents with personnel here. So I don't

674
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:09,960
Speaker 1: like things around my neck. It's about me. Maybe maybe

675
00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:14,200
Speaker 1: in a past life something happened bad that involved well,

676
00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:16,800
Speaker 1: I am claustrophobic, which is the result of my asthma.

677
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:19,760
Speaker 1: I don't like things around my neck, around my whimpipe.

678
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:21,640
Speaker 1: I don't like anything like that. That is a very

679
00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:25,640
Speaker 1: reasonable response to that. Thank you. During the French Revolution,

680
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:28,560
Speaker 1: you were like an assassin and you were lynched as

681
00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:31,600
Speaker 1: I got the gaiety chopped off my neck. Something with

682
00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:33,799
Speaker 1: your neck in a past was Pierre got me. One

683
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:36,799
Speaker 1: thing going for you In a over corporatized environment, if

684
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:40,360
Speaker 1: you can get even a fake doctor to write a

685
00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:42,759
Speaker 1: note that maybe even just you right yourself saying this

686
00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:47,359
Speaker 1: makes my patient feel restricted and uncomfortable. He needs an

687
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:52,359
Speaker 1: option to wear his lanyards somewhere else than around his marks. Volunteering. Well,

688
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:54,879
Speaker 1: it's a great thing work. It's a great thing about

689
00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:57,520
Speaker 1: working for a corporation. If you can lampoon their silly

690
00:36:57,600 --> 00:37:00,279
Speaker 1: policies and find some way around it, there will be

691
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:01,719
Speaker 1: happy to go along with you, just as long as

692
00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:03,759
Speaker 1: that doctor makes the lie up for you. Once again,

693
00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:07,680
Speaker 1: it's very it's very um beneficial to the group that

694
00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:11,319
Speaker 1: no one listens to the show above the second floor. Yeah,

695
00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:13,400
Speaker 1: no one above the second floor is wearing a lanyard.

696
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:16,040
Speaker 1: We'll have to check in on that. We should check

697
00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:19,880
Speaker 1: in on that. That's actually well if there's a class,

698
00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:23,000
Speaker 1: if there's some sort of class disparity with the lanyard thing,

699
00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:26,880
Speaker 1: then you start to get me upset as well. You know,

700
00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:29,600
Speaker 1: I think that security guards telling the third floor guys

701
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:31,960
Speaker 1: what the putt I was giving her the benefit of

702
00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:34,480
Speaker 1: the doubt. This thing goes south very fast. If that's

703
00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:37,880
Speaker 1: way bigger than we realized, All right, let's move on.

704
00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:41,600
Speaker 1: It's got a healthy discussion. Thank you NFL Networks. Greg Rosenthal.

705
00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:46,840
Speaker 1: It's a weekly hub index piece. Um. It is a

706
00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:51,600
Speaker 1: real metrics gold mine in which he he by studying

707
00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:54,320
Speaker 1: the tape week after week, he comes up with a

708
00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:59,840
Speaker 1: tiered system, uh that ranks all of the quarterbacks in

709
00:37:59,880 --> 00:38:02,640
Speaker 1: the league that have of course seen enough action. Um

710
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:07,000
Speaker 1: uh that Greg feels is a fair representation of their

711
00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:10,200
Speaker 1: ability at this stage. I don't know, is that what

712
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:14,160
Speaker 1: it didn't say? That's right? So anyway, the latest CUB

713
00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:17,879
Speaker 1: QB indexes in and uh, let's talk about it, Greg,

714
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:20,000
Speaker 1: and I think the one place we want to start,

715
00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:23,359
Speaker 1: I just start at the top. You start and um,

716
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:26,920
Speaker 1: you have a tier where it's the this these are

717
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:29,279
Speaker 1: the cream of the crop. And sometimes Tom Brady has

718
00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:33,080
Speaker 1: been alone in that tier. But for a few weeks

719
00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:35,759
Speaker 1: now right, Matt Ryan has joined him and they are

720
00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:38,120
Speaker 1: right now to you one two in that order, Brady

721
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:41,400
Speaker 1: Ryan the top two quarterbacks in your QB index. I

722
00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:44,320
Speaker 1: think Ryan deserves that, and I think if you're talking

723
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:46,879
Speaker 1: m v P, he's got to have a chance. Here

724
00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:50,320
Speaker 1: seen seven games left in the season. He was the

725
00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:53,080
Speaker 1: most consistent quarterback early in the season, and then I

726
00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:56,440
Speaker 1: think he's stepped it up another level in terms of

727
00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:59,759
Speaker 1: the playmaking the difficult throws that Matt Ryan makes. It

728
00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:01,800
Speaker 1: he's having an m v P type of year. I

729
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:04,959
Speaker 1: never thought. I didn't think it would happen. I can't

730
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:06,680
Speaker 1: disagree with any of that. I would like to see

731
00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:09,200
Speaker 1: Drew Brees up in that top tier where he belongs.

732
00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:10,960
Speaker 1: But other than that, Drew Brees is at three. You

733
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:15,400
Speaker 1: would say he belongs more with Brady and Ryan than

734
00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:18,880
Speaker 1: he would with the next group, which involves Matthew Stafford,

735
00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:22,879
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, Andrew Luck and Derek Carr. Yes, for consistency's sake,

736
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:25,279
Speaker 1: he belongs in that to the other The other four

737
00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:27,560
Speaker 1: guys in the second tier have been more inconsistent. The

738
00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:30,760
Speaker 1: The argument against Breeze would be, maybe his highs aren't

739
00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:33,480
Speaker 1: quite as high as the others, as lows aren't aren't

740
00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:36,600
Speaker 1: as low. But you're right in terms of production. Does

741
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:41,040
Speaker 1: for being on a team that isn't even close to

742
00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:47,839
Speaker 1: his talented as the other two. Offensively, I think they're

743
00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:52,480
Speaker 1: pretty talented that that trio of of receivers and the

744
00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:55,040
Speaker 1: running backs. I mean, I hear you, they're less talented

745
00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:58,000
Speaker 1: playoff level offense, but they have an imbalanced team. And

746
00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:02,200
Speaker 1: and he operates at a for level where he almost

747
00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:04,960
Speaker 1: him and Peyton almost feel like co coaches. I mean,

748
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:07,640
Speaker 1: he's been running that offense for so long, he knows

749
00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:11,920
Speaker 1: it so well it's, uh, it's unbelievable. And now I'm

750
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:15,000
Speaker 1: looking at this eight through twelve. What I mean, especially

751
00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:18,960
Speaker 1: coming from Greg, this one has to really sting for

752
00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:22,759
Speaker 1: Phil Rivers, who, uh, if he doesn't throw four interceptions

753
00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:24,440
Speaker 1: on Sunday, he's in the second tier. Yeah, he was

754
00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:26,799
Speaker 1: in the second tier until until that. You gotta move

755
00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:29,120
Speaker 1: down when when you have a game like that, he's

756
00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:30,839
Speaker 1: still good enough where he's the top of that tier,

757
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:34,200
Speaker 1: which includes UH Rivers, then Big Ben at nine, Cam

758
00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:37,719
Speaker 1: Newton attend Dak Prescott all the way into the UH

759
00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:41,880
Speaker 1: eleven spot, and then Aaron Rodgers. I mean again, nobody

760
00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:47,280
Speaker 1: knows anything because on November you have a QB index

761
00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:51,400
Speaker 1: that has Dak Prescott ahead of Aaron freaking Rogers. Do

762
00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:54,960
Speaker 1: you think that's fair. I think Dak Prescott should be

763
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:57,239
Speaker 1: ahead of the two thousand fifteen m v P two.

764
00:40:57,360 --> 00:41:00,759
Speaker 1: It's totally fair. I mean, Prescott is week after week

765
00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:02,719
Speaker 1: and this he's coming off again a game, his first

766
00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:06,200
Speaker 1: three hundred yard game where he and that huge touchdown

767
00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:09,719
Speaker 1: pass the Dez and he makes what's the highest the

768
00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:12,960
Speaker 1: Prescott has been in your Q minor, so you know

769
00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:16,040
Speaker 1: he's This is where I like this exercise because I

770
00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:18,400
Speaker 1: really try to focus in on what they're asked to

771
00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:21,120
Speaker 1: do in the amount of tough throws and and you

772
00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:23,400
Speaker 1: count all that and look, they have a lot of

773
00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:26,200
Speaker 1: scoring drives where Dak Prescott doesn't have to do a lot.

774
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:28,319
Speaker 1: That's not his fault, but he's not going to get

775
00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:30,480
Speaker 1: a lot of extra credit when he throws a screen

776
00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:33,160
Speaker 1: pass for eighty three yards to Ezekiel Elliot. He doesn't

777
00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:35,320
Speaker 1: get any credit right when he hits does Bryant on

778
00:41:35,360 --> 00:41:38,440
Speaker 1: An inbreaking rent? That's that's how you get in the

779
00:41:38,600 --> 00:41:41,200
Speaker 1: mix of Cam Newton and Big Bed and Phil Rivers

780
00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:43,239
Speaker 1: as a rookie. I mean he has been steady. He

781
00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:45,719
Speaker 1: does not have bad games. That that's one of the things.

782
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:49,400
Speaker 1: But his his good games aren't usually as high as

783
00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:52,680
Speaker 1: a Brady or a Derek Carr or or a Russell Wilson.

784
00:41:52,719 --> 00:41:55,239
Speaker 1: And people need to understand that this isn't a you're

785
00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:58,239
Speaker 1: not reshuffling the deck every week. They're they're they've got

786
00:41:58,320 --> 00:42:00,320
Speaker 1: to climb out of Some of these quarterbacks has climb

787
00:42:00,360 --> 00:42:02,839
Speaker 1: out of places they were and fall from higher heights. Well,

788
00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:07,799
Speaker 1: West's uh West's boy who leads the next tier next

789
00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:12,239
Speaker 1: tier poster boy for that year four number thirteen discarded

790
00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:14,640
Speaker 1: from my fantasy team, but still able to get up

791
00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:18,880
Speaker 1: in the morning. Marcus Mariotta, followed closely by his draft

792
00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:23,280
Speaker 1: mate Jamis Winston at fourteen. Tyrod Taylor after a really

793
00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:28,279
Speaker 1: impressive UH game in week ten? Was that Week nine?

794
00:42:28,640 --> 00:42:30,080
Speaker 1: You know, I just had a kid. I don't know

795
00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:33,759
Speaker 1: what's going on anymore. Kirk Cousins number sixteen and then

796
00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:36,919
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton are he is again right around the old

797
00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:40,200
Speaker 1: it's too bad after these. I hate putting Dalton there

798
00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:43,200
Speaker 1: because he really played great the first eight weeks of

799
00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:45,919
Speaker 1: the season. He's had two pretty bad games in a row, though,

800
00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:48,400
Speaker 1: And I will say he didn't have a great game yesterday,

801
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:51,239
Speaker 1: but wasn't He got ripped again west the catch rule

802
00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:53,360
Speaker 1: that he threw a touchdown that should have put the

803
00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:55,400
Speaker 1: Bengals up and a great throw that should have put

804
00:42:55,520 --> 00:42:57,360
Speaker 1: him up two scores and got wiped away by the

805
00:42:57,400 --> 00:43:01,080
Speaker 1: bogus sketch rule. And it hurts the Bengals and probably

806
00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:04,360
Speaker 1: hurts them here. Thank you. If you checked the history

807
00:43:04,680 --> 00:43:09,360
Speaker 1: of NFL networks Greg Rosenthal and his quarterback into I

808
00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:11,960
Speaker 1: think you'll see that he never ever writes about Marcus

809
00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:15,400
Speaker 1: Mariota unless he can have Jamis Winston riding Mariota's coattails,

810
00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:17,319
Speaker 1: and he pushed it, why do you have to put

811
00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:20,000
Speaker 1: him our position? Because you you all, you'd never write

812
00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:22,319
Speaker 1: about Mariota unless you want to write about Winston two

813
00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:24,160
Speaker 1: and then you're like, oh, these guys are both playing

814
00:43:24,239 --> 00:43:29,000
Speaker 1: well well, I like, you never give Mario Mariota belongs

815
00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:30,800
Speaker 1: in the tier up Further as well, he said he

816
00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:33,200
Speaker 1: played the last five weeks and Winston shouldn't has no

817
00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:36,560
Speaker 1: business above Tyrod Taylor or Kirk Cousins or Andy. Have

818
00:43:36,680 --> 00:43:41,239
Speaker 1: you watched Winston's last game. It's one that's fine, but

819
00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:43,120
Speaker 1: he's been a liability for a lot of the year.

820
00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:46,200
Speaker 1: Taylor has not much better years Since Week five, he

821
00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:49,759
Speaker 1: has eleven touchdowns in two interceptions. There's his He has

822
00:43:49,800 --> 00:43:51,920
Speaker 1: some highs and lows. He has very similar season in

823
00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:54,560
Speaker 1: a lot of ways to Mariota. Mariotto was a problem.

824
00:43:55,080 --> 00:43:58,400
Speaker 1: I was saying in early October, the Titans have a

825
00:43:58,480 --> 00:44:00,400
Speaker 1: chance to climb out of this because mary Yota has

826
00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:02,479
Speaker 1: been their biggest problem, and that was not You didn't

827
00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:04,680
Speaker 1: disagree with that a ton of but you put a

828
00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:06,960
Speaker 1: lot more stock and turnovers than I do. I think

829
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:10,439
Speaker 1: that Mariota spectacular plays in his ball placement rightly puts

830
00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:14,640
Speaker 1: him pretty much a tier above Winston. Mariota September is

831
00:44:14,719 --> 00:44:17,520
Speaker 1: killing him. I have kind of a formula and ideas

832
00:44:17,560 --> 00:44:21,400
Speaker 1: writing a post right now. See I've showed it today.

833
00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:23,919
Speaker 1: I've got you know, I give them scores every week.

834
00:44:24,120 --> 00:44:27,880
Speaker 1: I'm boosting Mariota up because ultimately I don't think his

835
00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:31,000
Speaker 1: September should be held that much against him as much

836
00:44:31,080 --> 00:44:33,840
Speaker 1: as right That's why I dropped him. He was playing

837
00:44:33,880 --> 00:44:36,160
Speaker 1: so terrible. I mean it was, it was bad. So

838
00:44:36,320 --> 00:44:38,880
Speaker 1: that hurts so bad. The thing is, why can't they

839
00:44:38,960 --> 00:44:43,040
Speaker 1: both be having good seasons. I think Winston has made

840
00:44:43,120 --> 00:44:47,640
Speaker 1: more plays, uh spectacular plays outside the pocket than just

841
00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:51,880
Speaker 1: about anyone, including Mariota. This season. He he had some

842
00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:55,160
Speaker 1: struggles early, but he's playing well well. I mean he's

843
00:44:55,360 --> 00:44:59,120
Speaker 1: he's a favorite of your but you act, you act

844
00:44:59,120 --> 00:45:01,480
Speaker 1: like I'm crazy. I went because West is so critical

845
00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:03,760
Speaker 1: of this, I went and checked, like all the other metrics.

846
00:45:04,040 --> 00:45:06,480
Speaker 1: You know, Deve, you know, Football Outsiders had Mariotta head

847
00:45:06,560 --> 00:45:11,080
Speaker 1: thirteen seventeen in the same erator. PFF had Winston far

848
00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:15,320
Speaker 1: ahead like the twelfth in the league. People remember the

849
00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:18,120
Speaker 1: year they had Ryan TANNEHILLO, right, but there's someone there

850
00:45:18,120 --> 00:45:20,799
Speaker 1: are people that are evaluating every single play and giving

851
00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:23,320
Speaker 1: on every place. Don't have to agree with which what

852
00:45:23,719 --> 00:45:26,880
Speaker 1: what value? I don't agree, but at different aspects of quarterbacking.

853
00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:29,480
Speaker 1: I don't agree with the fact that they value garbage

854
00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:32,040
Speaker 1: time as much as anything else, or that a turnover

855
00:45:32,239 --> 00:45:34,719
Speaker 1: pretty much sinks you a penalty. God forbid you ever

856
00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:36,200
Speaker 1: get a penalty? You think you're the worst player in

857
00:45:36,239 --> 00:45:41,560
Speaker 1: the NFL. But the lanyards smart or unnecessary? I want

858
00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:43,719
Speaker 1: to get uh, what would I want to get marked?

859
00:45:43,800 --> 00:45:47,320
Speaker 1: To tell me what? Marks back? The dumbest thing on

860
00:45:47,400 --> 00:45:50,640
Speaker 1: this entirely. I am not really in the mode of

861
00:45:50,760 --> 00:45:54,719
Speaker 1: telling NFL Networks Greg that any of this is dumb?

862
00:45:54,880 --> 00:45:57,840
Speaker 1: What what do you have? What looms a little concerning

863
00:45:57,920 --> 00:46:00,239
Speaker 1: for me, because listen, you've got gonna watch all these guys.

864
00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:03,399
Speaker 1: So it's not about taking apart your list. I look

865
00:46:03,520 --> 00:46:06,560
Speaker 1: that you have right now, from sixteen on down, and

866
00:46:06,640 --> 00:46:09,320
Speaker 1: we can get into who they are. That no less

867
00:46:09,360 --> 00:46:12,600
Speaker 1: than six of the twelve quarterbacks who would be in

868
00:46:12,600 --> 00:46:16,520
Speaker 1: the playoffs today are at the bottom half of this list.

869
00:46:16,719 --> 00:46:19,040
Speaker 1: That does not make for good playoffs. Let's look at

870
00:46:19,080 --> 00:46:22,359
Speaker 1: eighteen through twenty five, which is your second to last tier.

871
00:46:22,440 --> 00:46:26,920
Speaker 1: Sam Bradford at eighteen, uh, Carson Wentz at nineteen, Alex

872
00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:30,320
Speaker 1: Smith at twenty, Carson Palmer twenty one, Ryan Tanne. You know,

873
00:46:30,440 --> 00:46:32,279
Speaker 1: you think Ryan, after playing one of the best games

874
00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:33,960
Speaker 1: of his career, gets a little more that that's by

875
00:46:34,040 --> 00:46:37,960
Speaker 1: far the highest he's been. He was Eli Manning at

876
00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:40,000
Speaker 1: twenty three. You always love to stick it to Eli,

877
00:46:40,160 --> 00:46:42,400
Speaker 1: but I guess that a bad yet. Let's be honest.

878
00:46:43,960 --> 00:46:46,239
Speaker 1: Giants fans and Raiders fans love coming at me for

879
00:46:46,320 --> 00:46:50,040
Speaker 1: this um. Trevor Simmey in a four seems a little

880
00:46:50,040 --> 00:46:52,840
Speaker 1: bit generous. And Joe Flacco at twenty five. That is

881
00:46:52,920 --> 00:46:55,560
Speaker 1: your really the last tier before we get into some

882
00:46:55,680 --> 00:46:59,880
Speaker 1: grim circumstances. I like that you have this trio of

883
00:47:00,040 --> 00:47:03,920
Speaker 1: guys connected to Doug Peterson and Andy Reid, Sam Bradford,

884
00:47:03,960 --> 00:47:07,120
Speaker 1: Corson Wentz and Alex Smith right in a row. Does

885
00:47:07,160 --> 00:47:11,839
Speaker 1: that mean that that purpose that coaching tree values mediocrity?

886
00:47:13,400 --> 00:47:16,719
Speaker 1: I someone asked, is this is Alex Smith the best quarterback?

887
00:47:16,760 --> 00:47:19,120
Speaker 1: You know? Is he the perfect quarterback for Andy Reid system?

888
00:47:19,160 --> 00:47:23,320
Speaker 1: And I'm thinking, no, Andy Reid, they should get someone

889
00:47:23,760 --> 00:47:26,040
Speaker 1: the Alex Smith is g Rogers would be the perfect

890
00:47:26,080 --> 00:47:30,440
Speaker 1: quarterback for this is exactly Donovan McNabb. Don't forget. Was

891
00:47:30,480 --> 00:47:34,360
Speaker 1: it much better quarterback than than Alex Smith was. Bradford

892
00:47:34,360 --> 00:47:35,920
Speaker 1: I think has been stuck in a bad situation. I

893
00:47:35,960 --> 00:47:39,120
Speaker 1: almost feel bad that he's that low because he's played

894
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:42,120
Speaker 1: well individually. I feel like Andy Dalton's played well that

895
00:47:42,239 --> 00:47:44,000
Speaker 1: you know, there's a lot of people like to pick

896
00:47:44,080 --> 00:47:48,040
Speaker 1: on who quarterback plays. Not great, top twenties, pretty solid here.

897
00:47:48,440 --> 00:47:50,560
Speaker 1: You know, you have to get past twenty until it's

898
00:47:50,600 --> 00:47:53,680
Speaker 1: it's not that solved. The bottom part is where Mark

899
00:47:53,760 --> 00:47:56,040
Speaker 1: and I live with our teams. Here we go. Um

900
00:47:56,440 --> 00:48:00,239
Speaker 1: the final uh seven quarterbacks on your list Jake Ler

901
00:48:00,400 --> 00:48:05,920
Speaker 1: twenty six, uh, Cody Kessler at seven, Colin Kaepernick at eight,

902
00:48:06,080 --> 00:48:09,640
Speaker 1: Ryan Fitzpatrick at twenty nine, which is about where you

903
00:48:09,680 --> 00:48:12,040
Speaker 1: had him last year when he set the Jeffs franchise record.

904
00:48:12,080 --> 00:48:15,399
Speaker 1: And that's not true. He finished. He finished right around

905
00:48:16,400 --> 00:48:19,759
Speaker 1: he always was. Case Keene was here, I knew where

906
00:48:19,840 --> 00:48:23,480
Speaker 1: he was going and where he had been. Blake Mortals

907
00:48:23,560 --> 00:48:27,560
Speaker 1: thirty one, Blake Bortles at thirty one, folks, let's just

908
00:48:27,680 --> 00:48:30,479
Speaker 1: let that sink in for a second. The Inland beach

909
00:48:30,520 --> 00:48:36,680
Speaker 1: house of NFL teams Jacksonville was in Miami with my

910
00:48:36,880 --> 00:48:39,280
Speaker 1: new beach house. Well, it was a couple of minutes

911
00:48:39,320 --> 00:48:42,719
Speaker 1: from the beach. And the number of number thirty two

912
00:48:43,600 --> 00:48:47,720
Speaker 1: quarterback on Greg's list is a man that just signed

913
00:48:47,760 --> 00:48:50,320
Speaker 1: a four year, seventy two million dollar contract with thirty

914
00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:54,440
Speaker 1: eight million guaranteed, Brockoswiler of the Houston Texas Brock Bottom,

915
00:48:54,719 --> 00:48:59,560
Speaker 1: you got brackedds coming in for people who wanted you

916
00:48:59,640 --> 00:49:02,839
Speaker 1: got you gotta it's Brock and then it's the apostrophe

917
00:49:02,920 --> 00:49:07,120
Speaker 1: and d It's It's no uh coincidence that the bottom

918
00:49:07,160 --> 00:49:10,280
Speaker 1: half of this list from twenty six on down features

919
00:49:10,719 --> 00:49:14,320
Speaker 1: a rush of teams where coaches could be out of

920
00:49:14,360 --> 00:49:17,719
Speaker 1: there after this season. You get this kind of quarterback play.

921
00:49:17,840 --> 00:49:21,279
Speaker 1: It has not just to do with the quarterback alone. Yes,

922
00:49:21,360 --> 00:49:26,920
Speaker 1: it does like flesh posterior flesh. But brock a swaller

923
00:49:27,160 --> 00:49:30,080
Speaker 1: s a average four point to nine yards per attempt

924
00:49:30,120 --> 00:49:32,400
Speaker 1: over the last three weeks, which is worse than Lamar

925
00:49:32,480 --> 00:49:35,080
Speaker 1: Miller's rushing average over the last three weeks. You know

926
00:49:35,239 --> 00:49:39,160
Speaker 1: you're a boondoggle when you're below Blake Bortles. That was

927
00:49:39,200 --> 00:49:42,080
Speaker 1: a hard thing to say say that three times. Boondoggle

928
00:49:42,120 --> 00:49:45,800
Speaker 1: Blake Bortles, Boondoggle, Blake Bortles, Boondoggle, Blake Bortles nailed it.

929
00:49:46,280 --> 00:49:49,600
Speaker 1: You have to throw below in there too. Another beat um.

930
00:49:50,080 --> 00:49:53,720
Speaker 1: Greg's QB index can be found every week in NFL

931
00:49:53,800 --> 00:49:59,320
Speaker 1: dot com slash index. Yeah. I'm surprised it's not NFL

932
00:49:59,400 --> 00:50:04,160
Speaker 1: network dot Com. It's not even a thing all that

933
00:50:04,239 --> 00:50:06,120
Speaker 1: work dot com. Maybe it is, I have no idea.

934
00:50:06,960 --> 00:50:11,480
Speaker 1: All right, let's finally move on to the Thursday night preview.

935
00:50:12,560 --> 00:50:18,440
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, the New Orleans Saints, Dan, are you even

936
00:50:18,440 --> 00:50:21,400
Speaker 1: gonna watch this game? I watch every primetime game, but

937
00:50:21,719 --> 00:50:24,759
Speaker 1: doesn't mean I'm gonna like it. The New Orleans at

938
00:50:24,880 --> 00:50:27,279
Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers. Yeah, no, this could actually be a good game.

939
00:50:29,520 --> 00:50:33,360
Speaker 1: I've never been more excited about a primetime game combining

940
00:50:34,200 --> 00:50:38,000
Speaker 1: with two teams for four games. Un here's the thing,

941
00:50:38,120 --> 00:50:40,160
Speaker 1: this is what. This was so close that qualified I

942
00:50:40,160 --> 00:50:43,799
Speaker 1: think we talked about this on Sunday Show. This game

943
00:50:43,880 --> 00:50:45,960
Speaker 1: was so close to being a real juicy match of

944
00:50:46,320 --> 00:50:48,840
Speaker 1: both those teams wouldn't been able to close out wins

945
00:50:48,880 --> 00:50:53,680
Speaker 1: on Sunday, but instead, Uh it's base. Is this another one?

946
00:50:53,840 --> 00:50:58,960
Speaker 1: Is this another one of those gamespout, but to keep

947
00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:03,160
Speaker 1: it in Robert, Well, let's hope so, because whoever loses

948
00:51:03,200 --> 00:51:06,600
Speaker 1: this game is done. Mark, Yeah, I don't. I don't

949
00:51:06,600 --> 00:51:09,440
Speaker 1: expect the Carolina Panthers to keep this in proper perspective

950
00:51:09,440 --> 00:51:12,360
Speaker 1: if they lose. We've seen, you know, a number of

951
00:51:12,440 --> 00:51:15,280
Speaker 1: times where antics have have cooked up after a loss,

952
00:51:15,320 --> 00:51:18,520
Speaker 1: and that could be it I cooking up antics with

953
00:51:19,560 --> 00:51:23,120
Speaker 1: Give me a break. I mean, this game is not terrible.

954
00:51:23,160 --> 00:51:25,520
Speaker 1: Greg is right. The team I believe in more though,

955
00:51:25,600 --> 00:51:27,960
Speaker 1: and I am shocked even a month ago that I

956
00:51:27,960 --> 00:51:29,800
Speaker 1: would have thought this. It's the Saints. I think the

957
00:51:29,920 --> 00:51:34,680
Speaker 1: Saints looking at their schedule, they have something to play

958
00:51:34,800 --> 00:51:37,160
Speaker 1: for here. They can crawl back into this. You can

959
00:51:37,239 --> 00:51:40,640
Speaker 1: keep making cases for the Carolina Panthers. I'm not on

960
00:51:40,760 --> 00:51:42,840
Speaker 1: that train at this point. I hope I'm wrong. I

961
00:51:42,960 --> 00:51:45,720
Speaker 1: like the GM, I like the coach, but the Saints

962
00:51:46,080 --> 00:51:48,960
Speaker 1: have a playoff level offense, and we gotta see Carolina

963
00:51:49,040 --> 00:51:52,120
Speaker 1: shut that down. They've got to go into Carolina though.

964
00:51:52,400 --> 00:51:55,239
Speaker 1: That's the hang up for me. A Carolina team that

965
00:51:55,400 --> 00:51:59,480
Speaker 1: has outplayed its last three opponents is playing in Carolina

966
00:51:59,640 --> 00:52:02,560
Speaker 1: especially tough this season. Post By they have been a

967
00:52:02,600 --> 00:52:06,479
Speaker 1: better team on a short week. Uh. I'm not saying

968
00:52:06,560 --> 00:52:08,760
Speaker 1: it's easy. I'm just saying this is not This Carolina

969
00:52:08,800 --> 00:52:12,839
Speaker 1: Panthers team is getting a lot of credibility all season long.

970
00:52:12,880 --> 00:52:14,680
Speaker 1: People don't want to let go of them, and I

971
00:52:14,760 --> 00:52:17,320
Speaker 1: get it. But we're getting real close. Are we supposed

972
00:52:17,360 --> 00:52:19,920
Speaker 1: to say that the Saints are some great road team? No?

973
00:52:20,640 --> 00:52:23,280
Speaker 1: A little better this year. I thought they outplayed Kansas

974
00:52:23,320 --> 00:52:26,040
Speaker 1: City in Kansas City, which opened my eyes. They do

975
00:52:26,200 --> 00:52:29,279
Speaker 1: have some road wins, but they have eighty. They had

976
00:52:29,320 --> 00:52:32,960
Speaker 1: eighty three plays on defense on Sunday, and that was

977
00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:36,680
Speaker 1: a defensive performance. I think probably the best defensive performance

978
00:52:36,719 --> 00:52:40,160
Speaker 1: by the Saints maybe since two thousand thirteen. I'd have

979
00:52:40,239 --> 00:52:43,000
Speaker 1: to go back and look. I mean that they showed

980
00:52:43,040 --> 00:52:45,960
Speaker 1: some promise. Cameron Jordan is playing about as well as

981
00:52:46,000 --> 00:52:49,239
Speaker 1: any defensive lineman in the league is playing. Right now.

982
00:52:49,360 --> 00:52:52,360
Speaker 1: They have their first round pick, Sheldon Rankin's back. You know,

983
00:52:52,520 --> 00:52:55,320
Speaker 1: they're at least not the worst defense in the league.

984
00:52:55,640 --> 00:52:59,160
Speaker 1: Maybe they're the twenties five or three, but it's it's

985
00:52:59,239 --> 00:53:02,959
Speaker 1: something that the Panthers and Mark this is on your radar,

986
00:53:03,040 --> 00:53:05,400
Speaker 1: I can tell about staying in too long in the

987
00:53:05,440 --> 00:53:08,359
Speaker 1: Panthers but we'll say this the losing the six game,

988
00:53:08,960 --> 00:53:13,279
Speaker 1: while it really greatly slashed their margin for error, they're

989
00:53:13,320 --> 00:53:15,719
Speaker 1: not out of it. And I think that if they

990
00:53:16,040 --> 00:53:18,040
Speaker 1: hold court and get to four and six and the

991
00:53:18,080 --> 00:53:21,200
Speaker 1: schedule isn't easy, they don't have an easy schedule coming up.

992
00:53:21,480 --> 00:53:23,279
Speaker 1: I'm just not ready to rule them out as a

993
00:53:23,320 --> 00:53:26,200
Speaker 1: team that's gonna be playing meaningful December games. Even despite

994
00:53:26,239 --> 00:53:28,480
Speaker 1: that all the issues they've had this season, I still

995
00:53:28,520 --> 00:53:30,360
Speaker 1: think if their defense is playing well, which it is,

996
00:53:30,680 --> 00:53:33,200
Speaker 1: and Cam Newton is still in the center of everything unhealthy,

997
00:53:33,600 --> 00:53:35,279
Speaker 1: I'm not ready to rule them out in this race.

998
00:53:35,360 --> 00:53:37,560
Speaker 1: And I think they're gonna win this game. I think

999
00:53:37,719 --> 00:53:40,000
Speaker 1: I think this is the last gas for them if

1000
00:53:40,040 --> 00:53:42,520
Speaker 1: they ever lost this enough with all that business that

1001
00:53:42,560 --> 00:53:44,560
Speaker 1: they ever lost this. But if you win, you have

1002
00:53:44,680 --> 00:53:48,239
Speaker 1: to go on the road to Oakland and Seattle. Then

1003
00:53:48,280 --> 00:53:50,520
Speaker 1: you play a weird Chargers team that could do anything.

1004
00:53:50,600 --> 00:53:52,840
Speaker 1: Then you play the Redskins, who have not been a

1005
00:53:52,880 --> 00:53:55,399
Speaker 1: bat there there they can be tough in Washington. Then

1006
00:53:55,440 --> 00:53:58,640
Speaker 1: you host the Falcons. Yeah, we've gotten past the point

1007
00:53:58,680 --> 00:54:00,719
Speaker 1: where we can assume the Panthers is gonna beat anyone,

1008
00:54:00,760 --> 00:54:02,920
Speaker 1: because they've been proving it week in and week out

1009
00:54:03,000 --> 00:54:04,719
Speaker 1: that they're they're hard to figure out, but they were.

1010
00:54:05,080 --> 00:54:06,560
Speaker 1: They had one two in a row. They were up

1011
00:54:06,640 --> 00:54:09,080
Speaker 1: seventeen six. I believe on a very good k C

1012
00:54:09,280 --> 00:54:11,879
Speaker 1: team before letting it slip away. We'll see West. Where

1013
00:54:11,880 --> 00:54:14,120
Speaker 1: are you coming down in the Panthers right now? I

1014
00:54:14,200 --> 00:54:16,160
Speaker 1: think they're playing better. Like I said, they've outplayed their

1015
00:54:16,239 --> 00:54:19,480
Speaker 1: last three opponents. If you read Greg's as excellent the

1016
00:54:19,600 --> 00:54:25,799
Speaker 1: debrief column every week NFL Network slash Debrief Days does

1017
00:54:25,840 --> 00:54:27,640
Speaker 1: a great job of giving you the state of the

1018
00:54:27,760 --> 00:54:31,600
Speaker 1: league each Monday, each Monday night Tuesday morning, and he

1019
00:54:31,719 --> 00:54:33,680
Speaker 1: talks about the fact that Carolina at one point in

1020
00:54:33,760 --> 00:54:37,279
Speaker 1: that game in the fourth quarter, had a nine chance

1021
00:54:37,320 --> 00:54:40,560
Speaker 1: of winning. It was as painful as Greg said, as

1022
00:54:40,680 --> 00:54:50,480
Speaker 1: NFL Network says of any loss too much like the tea.

1023
00:54:53,600 --> 00:54:57,840
Speaker 1: Here's the thing, because they're measuring it at every point

1024
00:54:58,280 --> 00:55:01,719
Speaker 1: of the game. So that's just one specific point. Yeah,

1025
00:55:01,800 --> 00:55:04,040
Speaker 1: that's one specific point you're pointing to. But they were

1026
00:55:04,280 --> 00:55:08,360
Speaker 1: driving into the red zone up two touchdowns on a

1027
00:55:08,800 --> 00:55:10,920
Speaker 1: play drive and the other team, you know, late in

1028
00:55:11,000 --> 00:55:12,759
Speaker 1: the third as a as a turn and the other

1029
00:55:12,800 --> 00:55:15,719
Speaker 1: team at three points at the time. That's a that Eric.

1030
00:55:16,239 --> 00:55:19,080
Speaker 1: That Eric Berry play was incredible. We didn't really even

1031
00:55:19,080 --> 00:55:22,000
Speaker 1: give it enough credit, but that change that felt like

1032
00:55:22,440 --> 00:55:25,120
Speaker 1: that felt like a dagger season. I'm kind of getting

1033
00:55:25,160 --> 00:55:27,000
Speaker 1: with you that. I'm just saying, they're they're the team

1034
00:55:27,080 --> 00:55:30,480
Speaker 1: that good for them. They had a chance to win

1035
00:55:30,560 --> 00:55:33,200
Speaker 1: the game. You also lost the game. Yeah, I mean

1036
00:55:33,520 --> 00:55:37,600
Speaker 1: the Panthers found the chance. The Chiefs now have two

1037
00:55:37,640 --> 00:55:41,160
Speaker 1: wins to lose. So I almost wanted to just re

1038
00:55:41,280 --> 00:55:44,520
Speaker 1: examine how much stock we put into the at this

1039
00:55:44,640 --> 00:55:47,640
Speaker 1: exact moment number to say they are the first team

1040
00:55:47,680 --> 00:55:52,120
Speaker 1: in NFL history to come back from seventeen down twice

1041
00:55:52,200 --> 00:55:54,600
Speaker 1: in a season this early in the season. So what

1042
00:55:54,800 --> 00:55:59,399
Speaker 1: they have done, the Chiefs deserves credit and it's also unprecedented.

1043
00:55:59,480 --> 00:56:02,040
Speaker 1: And the Anthers seems snake bit. I do believe in

1044
00:56:02,120 --> 00:56:05,080
Speaker 1: mojo a little bit, and it's like everything that went

1045
00:56:05,160 --> 00:56:07,920
Speaker 1: well for them last year, it's not like they're losing

1046
00:56:08,000 --> 00:56:10,480
Speaker 1: these types they get they got some bad bojo. That is,

1047
00:56:10,600 --> 00:56:13,960
Speaker 1: they do feel like sometimes you know, it's beyond all

1048
00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:16,320
Speaker 1: the numbers in the analysis, things are just not rolling

1049
00:56:16,600 --> 00:56:20,359
Speaker 1: your team. But Kansas City, Carolina did the better team win.

1050
00:56:20,640 --> 00:56:23,640
Speaker 1: Do we all agree that on that day? I say, no, No,

1051
00:56:23,880 --> 00:56:25,960
Speaker 1: I don't think now you think the Panthers are a

1052
00:56:26,040 --> 00:56:28,560
Speaker 1: better team than the Chiefs. They absolutely were in that game.

1053
00:56:28,760 --> 00:56:31,319
Speaker 1: They were more than doubling them in yardage. I mean

1054
00:56:31,560 --> 00:56:33,480
Speaker 1: both sides of the ball. They're kind of doing the things.

1055
00:56:33,560 --> 00:56:35,759
Speaker 1: They're not a wow team on offense. They had no

1056
00:56:35,880 --> 00:56:38,120
Speaker 1: Jeremy mackwhen they're not going to roll you up in stats.

1057
00:56:38,160 --> 00:56:40,360
Speaker 1: They were Look, they were banged up. That's true. The

1058
00:56:40,440 --> 00:56:42,680
Speaker 1: Chiefs were banged up. I'm not but I'm saying that

1059
00:56:42,880 --> 00:56:46,080
Speaker 1: day the Panthers were the better team. I'm not. I'm saying,

1060
00:56:46,239 --> 00:56:49,480
Speaker 1: are we saying that the Panthers are better? I gotta Chiefs? No,

1061
00:56:49,760 --> 00:56:51,880
Speaker 1: I do not know. Not Overall, I got a good

1062
00:56:51,920 --> 00:56:56,960
Speaker 1: idea for you, Tony Romo to the Chiefs. Get him

1063
00:56:57,040 --> 00:57:00,799
Speaker 1: with Andy Reid. That's the team to press this poor guy.

1064
00:57:01,160 --> 00:57:04,600
Speaker 1: Just think about poor Tony Rose. This was this was

1065
00:57:04,719 --> 00:57:08,279
Speaker 1: the team. Yeah, well, this was the team for Tony Romo,

1066
00:57:08,400 --> 00:57:10,920
Speaker 1: the hard luck guy who's been underrated this whole year.

1067
00:57:10,960 --> 00:57:14,279
Speaker 1: This Cowboys team, this should have been it, This Cowboys team.

1068
00:57:14,640 --> 00:57:17,640
Speaker 1: He's right, they would be nine and one with him too. Well, look,

1069
00:57:17,680 --> 00:57:20,760
Speaker 1: there's still a chance they'll get to play put him

1070
00:57:20,760 --> 00:57:25,040
Speaker 1: on the Chiefs, nice organization. Put him on Texans, little

1071
00:57:25,200 --> 00:57:28,040
Speaker 1: Dallas heat. He just has to move. What how far

1072
00:57:28,080 --> 00:57:32,800
Speaker 1: away is Houston from Dallas? Let's do that. Let's talk

1073
00:57:32,800 --> 00:57:35,240
Speaker 1: about this. What's people want to know? What's romost future?

1074
00:57:35,680 --> 00:57:37,760
Speaker 1: Who's gonna give up a high draft pick for a

1075
00:57:37,920 --> 00:57:42,160
Speaker 1: thirties six, thirty seven year old quarterback who the next

1076
00:57:42,200 --> 00:57:43,919
Speaker 1: time you see him take a shot to his back,

1077
00:57:44,240 --> 00:57:46,080
Speaker 1: you're assuming he's gonna be out for the season. Two

1078
00:57:46,120 --> 00:57:48,160
Speaker 1: teams right off the bat, I think would because they've

1079
00:57:48,160 --> 00:57:50,080
Speaker 1: shown us that they want to build through free agency.

1080
00:57:50,160 --> 00:57:52,960
Speaker 1: The Dolphins. If they decided to part ways with Ryan Tannehill,

1081
00:57:53,400 --> 00:57:56,600
Speaker 1: you bring in Tony Romo. What about the Bears. I

1082
00:57:56,760 --> 00:57:58,520
Speaker 1: just don't know if you're getting a high draft pick

1083
00:57:58,560 --> 00:57:59,640
Speaker 1: for him, I feel like we would have to be

1084
00:57:59,720 --> 00:58:02,120
Speaker 1: a team. But I don't think what happened. But the

1085
00:58:02,200 --> 00:58:04,640
Speaker 1: Texans are the type between that feel like they're close

1086
00:58:05,200 --> 00:58:06,960
Speaker 1: and need to just get a little lucky and get

1087
00:58:07,040 --> 00:58:08,760
Speaker 1: the guy and then hope he stays right how how

1088
00:58:08,840 --> 00:58:10,840
Speaker 1: the rest of this year. I don't think they would

1089
00:58:10,840 --> 00:58:13,200
Speaker 1: ever trade it to the Texans. There's a sneaky heat

1090
00:58:13,280 --> 00:58:16,240
Speaker 1: between those two teams, and you know ownership and rivalry.

1091
00:58:16,800 --> 00:58:21,760
Speaker 1: I think the rest of the rest of this season

1092
00:58:21,920 --> 00:58:24,040
Speaker 1: is a huge factor, does he play again or not,

1093
00:58:24,160 --> 00:58:27,120
Speaker 1: because that'll inform it. I think the Cowboys are going

1094
00:58:27,160 --> 00:58:29,840
Speaker 1: to do right by him, and whether they get a

1095
00:58:29,920 --> 00:58:33,080
Speaker 1: high draft pick or not. If if they just choose

1096
00:58:33,160 --> 00:58:36,560
Speaker 1: to move forward with Dac, I think they'll they'll find

1097
00:58:36,600 --> 00:58:39,120
Speaker 1: a place for him basically, and he'll probably he'll probably

1098
00:58:39,160 --> 00:58:42,400
Speaker 1: have a say in it. Don't you think, like closer

1099
00:58:42,440 --> 00:58:44,240
Speaker 1: to their own, You're not just going to ship Tony

1100
00:58:44,320 --> 00:58:46,480
Speaker 1: Romo to a team for they are going to make

1101
00:58:46,520 --> 00:58:48,960
Speaker 1: sure that it's something that he is fully on board with,

1102
00:58:51,360 --> 00:58:53,200
Speaker 1: right They're not. They're not sending them to the Jets

1103
00:58:53,240 --> 00:58:56,240
Speaker 1: because Johnson I could actually kind of got a wild

1104
00:58:56,280 --> 00:58:59,040
Speaker 1: card for the Jets. Actually, I could see everybody's Jets.

1105
00:58:59,800 --> 00:59:02,160
Speaker 1: I got a wild card for you. Who's the boldest

1106
00:59:02,200 --> 00:59:06,800
Speaker 1: general manager in the league the Broncos, John Elway. Well,

1107
00:59:06,960 --> 00:59:09,040
Speaker 1: people were that you talk about you're in a super

1108
00:59:09,080 --> 00:59:12,560
Speaker 1: Bowl window, Paxton Lynch can sit another season. People were

1109
00:59:12,560 --> 00:59:15,680
Speaker 1: saying you wanna even on Twitter that people not realizing

1110
00:59:15,720 --> 00:59:19,320
Speaker 1: that the train deadline had passed, but already saying why

1111
00:59:19,400 --> 00:59:23,080
Speaker 1: not send Romo to Denver? Now, Well, you can't right now,

1112
00:59:23,240 --> 00:59:27,120
Speaker 1: but it wouldn't nothing John Elway does at quarterback with surprise. UM.

1113
00:59:28,680 --> 00:59:31,240
Speaker 1: It would be tough on Jerry to see Tony Romo

1114
00:59:31,320 --> 00:59:33,880
Speaker 1: play with a good other team. Well, if it can

1115
00:59:33,920 --> 00:59:35,640
Speaker 1: happen to Peyton Manning, it can. If you love them

1116
00:59:35,680 --> 00:59:36,840
Speaker 1: so much, he would have put him back in the

1117
00:59:36,840 --> 00:59:41,440
Speaker 1: start of line. He's still He's still happened. And you

1118
00:59:41,520 --> 00:59:46,800
Speaker 1: talked about the Mojo's saving for Theologie podcast. It does

1119
00:59:46,880 --> 00:59:50,600
Speaker 1: appear to be Greg's religion mojo. You don't really have

1120
00:59:50,800 --> 00:59:54,000
Speaker 1: a religion, no, but you do believe in mojo a

1121
00:59:54,080 --> 00:59:58,760
Speaker 1: little bit. I like it. We'll be back on Thursday

1122
00:59:59,200 --> 01:00:05,720
Speaker 1: with UM, a show that both recaps that Saints Panthers game,

1123
01:00:05,960 --> 01:00:08,760
Speaker 1: and then we will look ahead to all and I

1124
01:00:08,840 --> 01:00:10,720
Speaker 1: mean all. I think every team in the league's playing

1125
01:00:10,760 --> 01:00:13,520
Speaker 1: this up in a week or is that next week? Greg,

1126

1128
01:00:20,840 --> 01:00:22,600

1129
01:00:22,640 --> 01:00:25,240
Speaker 1: didn't want to correct you without being everyone who is

1130

Speaker 1: listening to the next week Week twelve, no teams on so,

1131

1136
01:00:47,000 --> 01:00:50,200
Speaker 1: It makes a difference. Uh in the land of the

1137
01:00:50,240 --> 01:00:55,200
Speaker 1: Shadowy League figures. That's it. That's it, that's the show.

1138
01:00:55,840 --> 01:01:00,560
Speaker 1: Is Dan Hanson signing off for Quiet Storm, Mailman, the

1139
01:01:00,600 --> 01:01:30,960
Speaker 1: Boss and I sit behind the glass Thursday. Did you

1140
01:01:31,040 --> 01:01:33,240
Speaker 1: know that a career in economics can serve as a

1141
01:01:33,320 --> 01:01:37,680
Speaker 1: springboard two tremendous opportunities in countless fields. Such was the

1142
01:01:37,760 --> 01:01:41,720
Speaker 1: case with New Jersey born economist Ted Folds, who left

1143
01:01:41,800 --> 01:01:45,240
Speaker 1: the world of cash supply theory for law, becoming embedded

1144
01:01:45,400 --> 01:01:47,880
Speaker 1: as a lead counsel for NBC News during the late

1145
01:01:48,040 --> 01:01:51,720
Speaker 1: nineteen seventies and early eighties. Known around Dirty Rockefeller as

1146
01:01:51,760 --> 01:01:55,200
Speaker 1: a bulldog lawyer, Ted Folds famously talked to young Tom

1147
01:01:55,280 --> 01:01:58,960
Speaker 1: Brokaw off the Ledge in the spring of when Brokaw,

1148
01:01:59,280 --> 01:02:01,560
Speaker 1: then the host of Today Show, had a bee in

1149
01:02:01,640 --> 01:02:04,920
Speaker 1: his bonnet over the Little Disgust issue of Nicaragua an

1150
01:02:04,960 --> 01:02:08,640
Speaker 1: oppression forward thinking letter to broke Off. Ted Folds operated

1151
01:02:08,680 --> 01:02:11,760
Speaker 1: as a soothsayer telling broke Off to please stand down

1152
01:02:11,840 --> 01:02:15,440
Speaker 1: on his investigation of Sandinista rebels, telling the news man,

1153
01:02:15,760 --> 01:02:18,000
Speaker 1: this is not the kind of story we want to

1154
01:02:18,040 --> 01:02:21,040
Speaker 1: tell on the Today Show. Besides, Tom, there is no

1155
01:02:21,240 --> 01:02:23,760
Speaker 1: factual basis to your claim that Reagan, as you right,

1156
01:02:24,000 --> 01:02:27,760
Speaker 1: has authorized the CIA to finance, arm and train remnants

1157
01:02:27,840 --> 01:02:32,360
Speaker 1: of Samosa's National Guard into Anti Sin and EASTA guerrillas. Moreover,

1158
01:02:32,640 --> 01:02:37,120
Speaker 1: NBC lawyers outright dismiss your claims of the President funding

1159
01:02:37,160 --> 01:02:40,520
Speaker 1: this so called Nicaraguan shadow force with moneys obtained by

1160
01:02:40,600 --> 01:02:44,360
Speaker 1: selling arms too. I ran through Israeli middlemen. Tom, It's

1161
01:02:44,360 --> 01:02:47,200
Speaker 1: in your best interest to bury these conspiracy theories and

1162
01:02:47,280 --> 01:02:49,600
Speaker 1: do the good work of the Today Show. Go interview

1163
01:02:49,680 --> 01:02:52,720
Speaker 1: Harrison Ford and moderate a few breezy cooking segments with

1164
01:02:52,880 --> 01:02:56,120
Speaker 1: Jane Pauli. Then maybe that nightly news chair you covet

1165
01:02:56,400 --> 01:02:59,640
Speaker 1: will open when you least expect it. Yours, Ted Folds,
