1
00:00:02,200 --> 00:00:06,240
Speaker 1: Mariota gives it to Henry Henry Fouson is it outside

2
00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:12,920
Speaker 1: five ten fifty stiff arm, twenty thirty forty stiff arm

3
00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:17,360
Speaker 1: fifty forty thirty. He's on his feet back Chase Floody

4
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 1: fifty ten five tightness running franchise history. Forget franchise history,

5
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 1: that's NFL history. The second nine nine yard run. This

6
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:41,279
Speaker 1: respect that Derrick Henry showed the Jacksonville Jaguars defense on

7
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:45,240
Speaker 1: the way to four touchdowns a thirty to nine victory

8
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:48,200
Speaker 1: on Thursday Night football by the Titans over the Jaguars.

9
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:51,160
Speaker 1: I'm Greg Rosenthal, I'm with Chris Wesley, and we're gonna

10
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 1: get to previewing all the week fourteen games in just

11
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 1: a minute. But how do you feel West on a

12
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:00,160
Speaker 1: night we watched the play that I'm gonna remind find

13
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:04,680
Speaker 1: you about at your son's high school graduation. I'm gonna say,

14
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 1: do you remember that Thursday night? We were, you know,

15
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 1: at work, and Derrick Henry ran for ninety nine yards?

16
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:11,759
Speaker 1: I told you i'd remind you about it in twenty

17
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 1: something years. I'm gonna hope that in twentysomething years, when

18
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 1: we run into each other, we're not gonna talk Titans Jaguars. No. Well,

19
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:22,960
Speaker 1: my point is I'm gonna say this game, if nothing else,

20
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:24,959
Speaker 1: you never know what you're gonna get on a Thursday night.

21
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 1: It provided one play that I think you will remember.

22
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:30,959
Speaker 1: And now that I've said it in in our listeners,

23
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 1: we're gonna be still doing this podcast at that point.

24
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 1: By the way, we're gonna be in our late We're

25
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,679
Speaker 1: gonna be in our late sixties, and all of our

26
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 1: listeners that are listening to me now just put like

27
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 1: a little reminder and say, hey, remind Greg to remind

28
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 1: Wes about that touchdown when old Barnaby Westling is graduating

29
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 1: high school with I can't imagine the paramore going for

30
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 1: Barnaby Westling. I mean, hey, I mean, that's what more

31
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 1: could you ask from from Titans Jacks, which I was not.

32
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 1: You know, I gotta ask for the same Jaguars defense

33
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 1: from last week to show up, but that didn't happen. No,

34
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 1: you could have asked, yeah, for a close game, but

35
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 1: at least you've got an exciting performance. Doesn't make you

36
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 1: feel any different about the Titans. To see him have

37
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 1: a game like this, We've seen a couple where they

38
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 1: put it all together. No, it doesn't. I think that

39
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,080
Speaker 1: that was a very poor defensive effort by the Jaguars,

40
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 1: and I think this Jaguars defense tends to go as

41
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 1: the offense goes. And when Leonard Fournette got stuffed at

42
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 1: the end of a four team play drive that would

43
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 1: have given Jacksonville a chance to take the lead even

44
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 1: though they were being outplayed by the Titans, it just

45
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:35,799
Speaker 1: felt like they packed it in for the night. I

46
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 1: get yeah, but that's a tough one because in You're right,

47
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 1: but people said that when they were in Buffalo, they

48
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 1: the defense kind of gave up. Well, it's shut out

49
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 1: four or five days ago. I know it was at home.

50
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 1: Well that yeah, this is on the road on a

51
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 1: short week and you know, in the middle of by

52
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 1: the way, in the last month of a lost season. Ye,

53
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: it's all fair and it's a it's a tough spot

54
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 1: they were in. But I don't think a j boyer

55
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 1: at the beginning beginning of that play with that Henry

56
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 1: made the ninety nine yard run, which is one play

57
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 1: after the Dighton's defense stuffed Leonard four Nette. As you mentioned,

58
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 1: he's trying to not tackle Miles Jack I mean Derrick

59
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 1: Henry once he gets going, he's a tough man to

60
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:16,080
Speaker 1: bring down, not run. I'm I'm referring to the back

61
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 1: to back jaunts through the heart or lack there of

62
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:22,399
Speaker 1: of the Jaguars defense in the middle of the third

63
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 1: quarter that sealed the game and turned it into a laugher.

64
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 1: And you're right, the uh the Jaguars defense, who I

65
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 1: thought overall has played pretty well since since thereby didn't

66
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 1: have a lot going on because it was a night.

67
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 1: Even Marcus Mariota had a killer interception, didn't really have

68
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 1: to do much, but the Titans defensive line one up

69
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 1: front on both sides. But I mean they crushed poor

70
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 1: Cody Kessler. I don't think Cody Kessler, you know, as

71
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 1: a future star or anything, but he did not have

72
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: much of a chance tonight with the lack of a

73
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 1: running game and the total lack of offensive line play

74
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 1: that the jack they now have one touchdown in his

75
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 1: eight quarters. And I thought that the sequence with that

76
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 1: Fournette and stuff that the goal line really represents the

77
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 1: futility of this offense, especially the offensive line. Right they're

78
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 1: running behind Eric Flowers and Patrick oh Mama, who were

79
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 1: released by the Giants, Like a month ago, like that's

80
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 1: that's the left side of the Jaguars line. They used

81
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 1: to be the right side of the Giants offensive line

82
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 1: when the Giants were considered to have the worst offensive

83
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:21,840
Speaker 1: line in the league. That reminds me because there was

84
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,279
Speaker 1: a play where both of those guys missed their blocks

85
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,480
Speaker 1: and Carlos Hide absolutely blown up. And how do you

86
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 1: pronounce his name? Omaha? I don't know. He tried to

87
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 1: go help Hide up, and Hide was so annoyed at him.

88
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 1: He just kind of glared at him and stood up

89
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 1: on his own. Because everyone's annoyed with the offensive line.

90
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 1: The Titans are are a frustrating team to watch. They're

91
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:46,359
Speaker 1: not exciting, and yet they have the Giants next week,

92
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 1: and then the reeling Redskins, and then the Redskins, and

93
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 1: then they closed with the Colts at home in a

94
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 1: game that both the Colts and the Titans will hope

95
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 1: things break enough that it would be like a winner

96
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:00,919
Speaker 1: go home type of game, right, But that wouldn't that

97
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 1: would involve the Ravensta. You don't know, there's not many

98
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 1: really other than the Ravens. None of these a f

99
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 1: C wild card contenders get me too excited, especially after

100
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,480
Speaker 1: the injuries in Denver, so I don't know. We might

101
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 1: see another Marcus Mariott to play, you know, in the

102
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 1: playoffs this year. We'd be remiss if we didn't mention

103
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 1: that Henry broke Chris Johnson single game rushing yards record

104
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 1: with two hundred thirty eight yards on seventeen carries, the

105
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:28,600
Speaker 1: fewest ever carries to get that many yards. He gave

106
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 1: us something to cheer about, and hopefully Week fourteen has

107
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:34,599
Speaker 1: has more of that in store and to look ahead

108
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 1: to it all on a nice beefy show. Let's send

109
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:42,920
Speaker 1: it over to Danny Hansas be Around the NFL Podcast.

Speaker 1: Week fourteen action, Mark, and I know you're pumped. I

118
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:23,600
Speaker 1: wanted to see how I wonder if he still even

119
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:25,720
Speaker 1: knows who I am? But I assume he does. Uh.

120
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 1: I wanted to see how long ago without talking this show?

121
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:31,039
Speaker 1: And you you blew up my my plan brought in

122
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 1: that always an interesting strategy for an audio podcast. Greg,

123
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 1: you have your glasses on today? Yeah, my contexts are

124
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:42,600
Speaker 1: bothering me. And Uh, the reason you can't really wear

125
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 1: glasses in l A Is it's always sunny but not today, rainy,

126
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 1: no sun. I love this miserable weather reminds me of home,

127
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 1: cold and rain, and nobody wants to be outside. Everybody's

128
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 1: kind of in a bad mood. Yeah, but you like

129
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,720
Speaker 1: you essentially just walked to your car. Like for those

130
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 1: of us that uber the West and I often do that,

131
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 1: you get stuck and then suddenly the uber that tells

132
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:06,719
Speaker 1: you it's three minutes away, it's it's sitting in a

133
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 1: parking lot, and so it's actually like nine minutes away

134
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 1: and you are a soaking hot mess one hundred feet

135
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 1: from the workfront door. Sounds pretty from inside. Why would

136
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 1: you call outside in the rain. That's a fair point. Uh.

137
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 1: Coming up on today's show, Oh that's the siren, you know.

138
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 1: The air horn means the twenty six hour window. Uh,

139
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 1: to negotiate who gets to be closest to West as

140
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 1: a groomsman has expired, so I will I will take

141
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 1: that vacancy. I will be closest to West that we

142
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 1: are a part of the wedding party. West was so

143
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 1: nice to to to offer it to us yesterday. We

144
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 1: we accepted, and now that that window is closed, it's

145
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 1: all a first come, first serve. So I will be

146
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 1: closest to West. In terms of the heroes in this room,

147
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 1: I mean the assumption that you have any control over this,

148
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 1: because there's probably four or five handlers, including uh the paramore,

149
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 1: who is going to be very hooked into, like the

150
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 1: line needs to be done by height. Well first of all,

151
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 1: all right, well then first of all the best man.

152
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 1: My argument is you know first, so that's been confirmed

153
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 1: who that is. I said, only in this room. I

154
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 1: want to be closest. I want to be better than

155
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 1: you guys when the West the most important moment in

156
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 1: West's life. I mean, I do remember. I do remember

157
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 1: as as an impending groom, what I liked are like

158
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 1: friends or family or just anyone else that wants to

159
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 1: tell me anything about how to do the wedding. Like

160
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,959
Speaker 1: those are the friends and them that I really appreciated,

161
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:49,079
Speaker 1: like super high maintenance Brunsman that West a month from

162
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 1: now is alory regretting involving in this. I'll probably get

163
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 1: in trouble for this, but I am all for Dan's

164
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 1: philosophy of just do things the way you want them

165
00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,199
Speaker 1: and we don't have to be by height or match

166
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 1: with the women in in the party or whatever. I'm

167
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:04,840
Speaker 1: going to get into the rules. Yeah, let's just have fun. Yeah,

168
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 1: you look over and I'll just just a little awake. Yeah,

169
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 1: I'm like not like not Dan, And like it would

170
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 1: never even cross my mind that that's better to be

171
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: closer or not, right, isn't that how most humans think? Well, also,

172
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:19,080
Speaker 1: you are, you're in a tough spot because you know

173
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 1: you're in scenario. You're either going to be closest or

174
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 1: furthest because your height, so you you're not going to

175
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 1: be in them. But why would I give a censor

176
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 1: either way? I don't know, I mean, why would anyone

177
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 1: give it? It sort of sounds like in your mind

178
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 1: the airhorn. It's official, but it feels slightly like this,

179
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 1: this one day that West Lakisha have been waiting their

180
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:40,960
Speaker 1: entire lifetimes for, in your mind has a little bit

181
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 1: more to do with you and how you're presented in

182
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 1: front of a large crowd of people. That's I'd find

183
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:50,560
Speaker 1: that concerning. Well, yeah, everybody gets to put on a show,

184
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:54,320
Speaker 1: not just right anything West made him a groomsman. Look

185
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 1: how close we are right now. It's gonna be just

186
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: like the podcast. Let's see talking. We should all be

187
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:02,080
Speaker 1: putting on a show all the time. All right, let's

188
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 1: get to the games. We'll start with the one o'clock games.

189
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 1: UH and UH an a f C showdown of epic proportions.

190
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:11,960
Speaker 1: It is my three and nine New York Jets riding

191
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:15,720
Speaker 1: a six game losing streak up against the Buffalo Bills,

192
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:19,680
Speaker 1: who UH found a way to lose mark last week

193
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:24,080
Speaker 1: against the Dolphins, but have been competitive in recent weeks

194
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 1: and even spank the Jets three weeks ago by thirty

195
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 1: points at thirty one point win at the Meadowlands. The

196
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 1: only difference between that game and this, other than Kelvin

197
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 1: Benjamin not being around, is Sam Donald is going to

198
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 1: play for the Jets. Well, and I'd like to see

199
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 1: that make a big difference, and I'm not sure that

200
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 1: it will, because I get that this Jets team is

201
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:46,679
Speaker 1: a a raging disaster at this point. But you know,

202
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:49,080
Speaker 1: when these guys got drafted, this is what you wanted

203
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 1: to see in the NFC East. You wanted to see

204
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,680
Speaker 1: Sam Donald verse Josh Allen. I think Josh Allen is

205
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 1: carved out this fascinating little niche for himself where he's

206
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:02,439
Speaker 1: essentially just an insane runner who has outgained Christian McCaffrey,

207
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:05,560
Speaker 1: Sequon Barkley, Ezekiela Elliott, and Todd Gurley over the last

208
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 1: two weeks. I mean, he's an incomplete product through the air,

209
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 1: but does some great stuff. But come on, how about

210
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 1: Jets do something to stop the bleeding and pour Dan's

211
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,679
Speaker 1: dad who having to listen to his last wrap up.

212
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 1: I feel concerned for his well being out there on

213
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 1: the East Coast having to deal with this product week

214
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:27,840
Speaker 1: after week. You're gonna clean everyone out. It's a tough

215
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 1: order to deal with Buffalo's defense in Buffalo, But come on,

216
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 1: Jeremy Bates, take the handcuffs off and show us something

217
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 1: down the stretch with Sam Donald gives give you something

218
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 1: to go into the off season with. It irritates me

219
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 1: how they run this offense when Donald's been in there.

220
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:45,839
Speaker 1: It's been Uh. Bates isn't coming back. This is not

221
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 1: gonna be a Jim Bob Cooter situation where the coach

222
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:50,599
Speaker 1: gets fired but the o C stays. It's gonna be

223
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:53,440
Speaker 1: a total house cleaning. So you wonder, even even as

224
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 1: a Jets ven, you want Donald back in the line,

225
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:56,840
Speaker 1: if you want him to continue to get reps and

226
00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 1: hopefully Uh and the and the season on on a

227
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:01,679
Speaker 1: good note. But I don't know how much carry over

228
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:03,440
Speaker 1: there is because the whole thing is gonna be blown up.

229
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 1: I'm at the point now where it's like, just don't

230
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 1: get hurt, please, no serious injury. And that's the most

231
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 1: I can ask for, which is not a couple of

232
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:14,679
Speaker 1: games can change so much. Four games is a is

233
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 1: a long time in the NFL, so you you could

234
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 1: you could feel a lot different if he starts Sam

235
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 1: Darneld making the progress that I think, I'm not being

236
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:29,200
Speaker 1: too optimistic to believe that Josh Allen started to make

237
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:32,080
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks. I'm not saying he looks

238
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:34,200
Speaker 1: like a future star or anything, but I think you

239
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 1: can see some incremental progress, not just that he's making

240
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:40,559
Speaker 1: some plays, but that he's he's doing some things you

241
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 1: would expect an NFL quarterback to do a little bit better.

242
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 1: And if you're a Bills fan, I think you have

243
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 1: to be happy because unlike uh, Jeremy Bates and the

244
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 1: Bill in the Jets, I think this Bill staff is returning.

245
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't. You can never know about the offense.

246
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 1: But I remember early in the year you were wondering

247
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 1: Dan if McDermott could be gone. There's no way he's nobly. Uh,

248
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 1: lets move on. Uh. The six and six Carolina Pathers,

249
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:06,440
Speaker 1: losers of four in a row, travel to Cleveland to

250
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 1: face the Browns. The Browns, uh, after two straight wins,

251
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 1: kind of got smacked down by the Texans. Uh. So

252
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 1: they were humbled a bit. They fall to four seven

253
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 1: and one, and they are Are they in the hunt? Are?

254
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 1: Would they be? In your in the hunt? The Browns

255
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 1: at this point they are no longer in the hunt.

256
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 1: They had a chance to get into it if they

257
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 1: won last week and now they're done in the hunt.

258
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,440
Speaker 1: And then, um West on the Panthers side of it,

259
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 1: who do you is who's the most to blame for

260
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 1: this four game losing streak that has really turned the

261
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 1: season upside down? Well, I would say in three of

262
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 1: the four losses, or at least two of the four,

263
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 1: bad luckist is to blame, but also Cam Newton's sore shoulder.

264
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:50,720
Speaker 1: The chickens are coming home to roost here. He his

265
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 1: passer rating has dropped precipitously over the past four weeks,

266
00:13:54,600 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 1: and under pressure situations and um sideline throw those and

267
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 1: throwing on the run in almost every category where you

268
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 1: can measure arm strength, his passer raiding his dropped, and

269
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 1: it matches what we saw on film this week. Did

270
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:14,720
Speaker 1: he can't make some of these throws, especially when the

271
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:17,680
Speaker 1: pocket is muddy. He needs to be able to step

272
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 1: into the throw, get his whole body into it in

273
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 1: order to make the throws. This is a major injury

274
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 1: I think. I mean, there's questions about offseason surgery. He

275
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 1: had this shoulder operated it on a couple of years ago,

276
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 1: and so is it one more loss in the Panthers

277
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 1: potentially shut him down or you're gonna try to keep

278
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 1: him in there hoping to salvage what certainly appears like

279
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 1: a lost season to begin with. I think eight. I

280
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 1: think they would wait until they're out of contention, especially

281
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 1: with Ron Rivera fighting for his job. I don't think

282
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 1: Ron Rivera should lose his job, by the way, because

283
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 1: I think that North turners onto something here and that

284
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 1: they should continue on that path, and that over the

285
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 1: last six seven years, Rivera is about as good a

286
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 1: difference making defensive head coach as there is, or at

287
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 1: least he's up there. And I just don't think it's

288
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 1: worth blowing it up unless you're this new owner that

289
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 1: has like a great idea of what to do. But they,

290
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 1: I would say the biggest problem is that they don't

291
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 1: create pressure. I'm thinking of a couple of plays in

292
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 1: their loss. Who is it to Seattle where they blitz,

293
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 1: which is not something you know they're known to do,

294
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 1: And they still couldn't get pressure and Russell Wilson picked

295
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:19,840
Speaker 1: him apart early in last week's game, could not get

296
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:24,000
Speaker 1: pressure on Jamis Winston. Uh. And ultimately they're not a

297
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 1: good pass rush team, and that's what they've been over

298
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 1: the years. They're not the Panthers we knew, and keep

299
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 1: an eye mark to your point on Carolina here if

300
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 1: they can't beat the Browns, and it is no no

301
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 1: shame now to go to Cleveland and lose. The Browns

302
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 1: are a team on the rise. Inconsistent, but they could

303
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 1: beat a lot of teams in their building. If they

304
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 1: lose this week, they go six and seven. I agree,

305
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 1: unless Newton is hurting more has a setback, he'll probably start.

306
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 1: But then you got New Orleans the next week. If

307
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 1: they don't win that game, if they dropped to six

308
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 1: and eight, I would imagine they would shut Newton down

309
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 1: and begin what could be a really tough and UH

310
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 1: offseason filled with question marks. Because they twice operated on shoulder.

311
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 1: That's like Chad Pennington situation for a quarterback, and you

312
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 1: wonder if we'll ever get it back. The one UH

313
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 1: bright spot that I see in this matchup for Carolina

314
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 1: is watching the way that Cleveland was gashed on the

315
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 1: ground early on by the Texans on the run. They

316
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 1: just I don't know if it was the scheme. They

317
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 1: had these deep safety thing going on, but they was embarrassing.

318
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 1: You haven't real they haven't really had that happen to

319
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 1: them that way, even though they run defense. It was

320
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 1: an embarrassing first half the way that they played defense

321
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 1: last week, and Christian McCaffrey's on fire. UH. Let's move

322
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 1: on to two of the more disappointing teams in the NFC,

323
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 1: the Atlanta Falcons four and eight, losers of four straight,

324
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 1: and the Green Bay Packers four seven and one. Uh,

325
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 1: they have lost five of six and that slump cost

326
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy's job. So it's Joe Fieldman's first game Greg

327
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 1: Rosenthal as interim coach. There has been this idea you

328
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 1: see it on Twitter, that Aaron Rodgers might take off now,

329
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 1: that this could be a change of scenery that sends

330
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 1: the Packers off and running. But at what point did

331
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:06,359
Speaker 1: we just give up the ghosts of the Packers this season?

332
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think it's because Joe Philban is

333
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 1: gonna walk in there and inspire the troops or anything.

334
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:17,919
Speaker 1: If anything, it could happen because Aaron Rodgers is amazing,

335
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 1: and he threw a ball seventy two yards last week

336
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 1: and no one even noticed in an actual game, and

337
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:26,399
Speaker 1: that he gets to play one of the way the

338
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:28,960
Speaker 1: ball traveled seventy two yards out of his hand in

339
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:30,680
Speaker 1: an NFL game, I don't know if I've ever seen

340
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:33,200
Speaker 1: that in my life. Even it was, he was sort

341
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:35,200
Speaker 1: of doing the thing where like if it was intercepted,

342
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:36,399
Speaker 1: it would have been an arm punt. He was just

343
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 1: trying to throw it as far as he could. It

344
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:40,200
Speaker 1: almost felt like he was taking out all the aggression

345
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 1: from the Mike McCarthy era on that throw and just

346
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:46,159
Speaker 1: saying screw you. But he could. It could be a

347
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:49,400
Speaker 1: nice little Philbin narrative after this game, because he's playing

348
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:52,480
Speaker 1: a team that's bad at so many different things, especially

349
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:55,440
Speaker 1: on defense, and that's why I'm going with this nonconsequential

350
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 1: game to lock it up for the Packers. For the Packers,

351
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:01,880
Speaker 1: that's right, everything's just a little bit sloppy with their

352
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 1: offense right now. Rogers himself wasn't setting his feet last

353
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 1: game too often, fading away as he throws a lot

354
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:12,159
Speaker 1: of balls at his receiver shins. Josh Cohen on Twitter

355
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 1: has a video of Jimmy Graham putting forth absolutely no

356
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 1: effort whatsoever in his blocking assignments. It's in one of

357
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,200
Speaker 1: the most embarrassing lot of pain. It's one of the

358
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 1: most embarrassing films you'll see Jimmy Graham just not even trying. Uh.

359
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:30,399
Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers wide receivers running very lazy routes, sloppy routes,

360
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:33,879
Speaker 1: no crispness to them whatsoever. Dan Orlowski has a tweet

361
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:36,719
Speaker 1: on that there's a lot going on about this Packers offense. Well,

362
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 1: and on the flip side, I mean, Matt Ryan took

363
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:41,800
Speaker 1: an absolute beating against the Ravens last week, and there's

364
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:44,520
Speaker 1: can they're talking about the everyone from the head coach

365
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:45,879
Speaker 1: on downs like we've got to find a way to

366
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:48,320
Speaker 1: protect him better. I mean these speaking of guys who

367
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:50,159
Speaker 1: can be shut down. He's on pace to be sacked

368
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 1: more than he ever has in his life. He doesn't

369
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:54,160
Speaker 1: miss a game. Matt Ryan is in that type of quarterback.

370
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 1: But with some of these teams, and let's say Greg

371
00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:59,199
Speaker 1: does lock this up there four and nine and and

372
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:01,199
Speaker 1: this guy gets sack four or five more times, he's like,

373
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 1: he's still your quarterback the next five years. When do

374
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 1: you just take the l this offense. I don't know

375
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 1: how many offenses I've seen that were so lively earlier

376
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:12,040
Speaker 1: in the year. It feels totally dead to me. Their

377
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:14,920
Speaker 1: offensive line is terrible at pass protection, they can't run

378
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 1: the ball, they can't stop the run. They're really not

379
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:20,360
Speaker 1: much of and then there's almost nothing they do well

380
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 1: other than they have Matt Ryan and Julio Jones and

381
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:25,200
Speaker 1: Julio Jones is beat up. He's coming off his worst game,

382
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 1: one of the worst games of his career. In fact, statistically,

383
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 1: this was my NFC title game prediction. Might be more

384
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 1: more people in this room's title prediction. I don't remember

385
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 1: we all had the Falcon. It's amazing. This games doesn't

386
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:40,960
Speaker 1: mean anything. I mean the Falcon score it. It is

387
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 1: very much like that offense that was driving people crazy

388
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 1: last year sixteen, nineteen, seventeen sixteen. They just don't get

389
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 1: in the end zone anymore. Let's move on. The Indianapolis

390
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:58,120
Speaker 1: Cults humbled in in Jacksonville last week, the big chlorine

391
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:03,120
Speaker 1: pool shutouts nothing uh and that dropped him to six

392
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 1: and six and snapped the five game winning streak. So

393
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:07,160
Speaker 1: they have to get back in it, and they are

394
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 1: in the race in the a f C, but they

395
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:13,680
Speaker 1: can't give away another loss here, especially against the Texans

396
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:16,679
Speaker 1: who are very close to wrapping things up here in

397
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:19,720
Speaker 1: the a f C. South, Mark, what do you think

398
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 1: I like this as the comeback Player of the Year Bowl.

399
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:26,480
Speaker 1: Oh hey, now got a little J J. Hot action,

400
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:29,439
Speaker 1: Sam Andrew Luck, Deshaun Watson. I think you know the

401
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:32,440
Speaker 1: Cults issues go back? Mark, I thought it was a

402
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:35,120
Speaker 1: good idea. UM, I don't know if you can sell

403
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:37,359
Speaker 1: it that way alone. I I don't. I'm not giving

404
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:39,200
Speaker 1: up on the Cults yet. But their issues go back

405
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 1: prior to last week. There the earlier the game before that,

406
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:45,360
Speaker 1: they were not hot on offense, and I don't I wouldn't.

407
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 1: This Texans defense is one of the reasons that Houston

408
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 1: feels like a team kind of peeking at the right time.

409
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 1: They're finally getting turnovers. It was you know, Zack Cunningham

410
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 1: had a pick six last week against the Browns. They've

411
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:01,640
Speaker 1: victimized the Browns in the first town four turnovers, and

412
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 1: Justin Reid had a that huge pick six two weeks

413
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:06,480
Speaker 1: ago or three weeks ago. And then I had a

414
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:10,440
Speaker 1: huge fumble recovery against Antonio Callowie last week that I

415
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:12,439
Speaker 1: thought really sort of sealed that game. Right, He's like

416
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 1: the twelve rank safety by PFF. So their secondaries playing well,

417
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 1: and you know last week they didn't really even need

418
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 1: major highlight players from j. J. Watt or Jadeveon Clowney.

419
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:25,200
Speaker 1: They did it in other ways and so another tough

420
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:29,440
Speaker 1: matchup for Indianapolis. Yeah, their defense, the front seven is

421
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 1: swarming right now, and I think their secondary hits as

422
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,199
Speaker 1: hard as any secondary in the league. They lay the

423
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:37,920
Speaker 1: wood Tyrone Matthew and Kareem Jackson especially. This is a

424
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 1: must win game for the Cults, and they're really banged up.

425
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 1: T Y Hilton is dealing with a shoulder injury. Eric

426
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:46,199
Speaker 1: Ebron hasn't practiced this week, dontrelle In Men has an injury.

427
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 1: Jack Doyle's out for the season. Ryan Kelly's not gonna

428
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,440
Speaker 1: play in this game. So you're locking it up, I'm

429
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 1: not locking it up. I don't feel as a Cults supporter,

430
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:56,439
Speaker 1: I do not feel good about this matchup because the

431
00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:59,440
Speaker 1: Texans continue to get better and better every week. Mark,

432
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 1: you already mentioned they're running game, and I don't think

433
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 1: that was just Cleveland scheme. I think it's the Texans

434
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:06,399
Speaker 1: are running really well right now. It's been weeks in

435
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 1: a row. A little bit bummed West. I was a

436
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 1: little bit excited for a team of westl versus team

437
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 1: of Zeus tel lock off. I've got too much at steak.

438
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:17,520
Speaker 1: I got I got Mark hot on my trail, I

439
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:19,720
Speaker 1: got the subreddit board hot on my trail. I've got

440
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:24,320
Speaker 1: you coming up through I can't here now, Uh, you're

441
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:29,239
Speaker 1: asking us marks one back marks only one back got it.

442
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:31,879
Speaker 1: We'll have to the subreddit will have to see if

443
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:36,080
Speaker 1: they I mean, I'm bounded. They very stupid. Soon I

444
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 1: was told that they went to home depot, they went

445
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:40,399
Speaker 1: to bed, bath and beyond. They shopped around for the right.

446
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 1: They got it one of those full length mirrors, you know,

447
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,400
Speaker 1: like the flattering ones where it's like, oh, I'm looking

448
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 1: good in this mirror. Yeah, all you know all this

449
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 1: work in the Pelton it's full length mirror. You look

450
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:52,399
Speaker 1: good depending on who you are. It's not not everything

451
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:54,199
Speaker 1: that's good, right, But it's one of those, you know,

452
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 1: they're flattering mirrors, and that they got one of those,

453
00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 1: and that's good. And I don't know who they locked

454
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:02,000
Speaker 1: up this week, but if they, if I respect their

455
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:06,560
Speaker 1: lock up, I will basically save them into a suicide mission.

456
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:08,639
Speaker 1: I did not that was that, Hey, you take the

457
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 1: Browns on the road against the hottest team in the league.

458
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 1: That's your thing. Don't put that on. There was a

459
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:15,119
Speaker 1: little bit of a listener verse Dan heat on the

460
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 1: reddit point up, that's fine, we love each other. Just

461
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 1: sometimes you just gotta be honest. I am gonna lock

462
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 1: up the Houston Texans because I've been doing it. I've

463
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:26,679
Speaker 1: been on this team for weeks and weeks and and

464
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 1: I haven't been locking them up every week, and I

465
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 1: feel like it's time to sink that up a little better.

466
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:32,679
Speaker 1: Can I help the sub breddit out here with one

467
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:36,840
Speaker 1: little piece of information? The hanging onion is a totally

468
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 1: different concept than the lock up. You don't need to

469
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:43,280
Speaker 1: put both of them together. I think there's some confusion

470
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 1: on that board that every lock has to be hanging. No,

471
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 1: it does not. It does not. And they were on you,

472
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:50,120
Speaker 1: I think because you picked the Patriots at home, which

473
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:53,399
Speaker 1: I thought I thought took that as more of a

474
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 1: bit on your part on some level. Well not really.

475
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 1: I do the mirror tests, but I factor in Greg's

476
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:02,280
Speaker 1: uh Vegas test as well that it did pass. I mean,

477
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:05,560
Speaker 1: it's something to consider, and I'm surprised coming into this game.

478
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 1: I okay, I know. One of the most fun things

479
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:09,679
Speaker 1: in the NFL right now is Deshaun Watson developing. I

480
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:12,159
Speaker 1: think week after week. There was the first drive of

481
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:14,719
Speaker 1: last game, this third and fifteen throw he threw from

482
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:17,040
Speaker 1: the pocket into a tight window. Some of the ways

483
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:20,679
Speaker 1: he's changing protection. Dan Orlovsky had a good h tweet

484
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:22,920
Speaker 1: about that, like Watson's getting better each and every week.

485
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:26,200
Speaker 1: But I I'm kind of I'm almost shook that West

486
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:29,840
Speaker 1: is so shook. Maybe he's maybe he's too close to

487
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:32,879
Speaker 1: the Colts. That last week's performance, which was terrible. It

488
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 1: was almost like the Jaguars had read all the nice

489
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:39,360
Speaker 1: stories about the Colts offensive line and they're watching Baldi's

490
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 1: breakdowns and whatnot, and they're like, please, we're gonna destroy

491
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:44,720
Speaker 1: them for one week. But it was only one week

492
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:47,680
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, as like Tom Brady one said,

493
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 1: are you gonna lay down? You're gonna fight? Well, if

494
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:53,320
Speaker 1: this podcast was recorded on Saturday and night him from

495
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:55,959
Speaker 1: information to t Y Hilton and Eric Ebron and Dontrell

496
00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:58,359
Speaker 1: Edman were healthy, I would feel a lot different. But

497
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 1: that's you're already without Doyle. And if you if all

498
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:04,359
Speaker 1: three of those guys are are so banged up that

499
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 1: their game time decisions, I'm not I'm not putting myself.

500
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 1: I mean, my supports with the Colts, but I don't

501
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 1: think they're gonna be more than people realize. I think

502
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:16,119
Speaker 1: because of he was it wasn't just pass catching. It's

503
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:18,000
Speaker 1: the way he helped in the run games. Here's the thing.

504
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:20,120
Speaker 1: When these teams played, they've been very close. They were

505
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 1: close earlier in the season, and I think the Colts

506
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 1: have shown over a long enough period of time that

507
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 1: we shouldn't give up on them this week. And I

508
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:30,679
Speaker 1: don't know, like you know, I don't know what you know.

509
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:33,440
Speaker 1: There's no owner there right now, like what they're thinking

510
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:35,400
Speaker 1: in terms of the roof or whatever. But I think

511
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:38,199
Speaker 1: that rain is traveling from Los Angeles to Houston. At

512
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:54,439
Speaker 1: least you're taking now, Eric, just surprising me. That's a

513
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:57,160
Speaker 1: field goal game at worst week right now? I did poor.

514
00:25:57,320 --> 00:25:59,240
Speaker 1: I did poor. We're at three and four of the season.

515
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:02,480
Speaker 1: But how did you do last week? Let me ask you.

516
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 1: I mean the listeners should know this. No. Yeah, by

517
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:08,120
Speaker 1: the way, listeners, don't hit me with like, oh, I'm

518
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 1: putting on I'm putting up real cash. But do you

519
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:15,440
Speaker 1: think this is That's exactly what the segment is. You're

520
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 1: giving advice to gambler. Well, you know what, you're idiots.

521
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 1: I'm not even a coin would be doing better than

522
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:23,639
Speaker 1: I can. And you can pick favorites on best bets.

523
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:26,120
Speaker 1: We're just trying to have some fun. We're bringing some rain,

524
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:29,480
Speaker 1: but it's a small sample size they're gonna come. I

525
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:32,680
Speaker 1: don't know what they're gonna cover this. I think shook

526
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 1: a little bit. You don't have to. You seem not

527
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:37,480
Speaker 1: to have the confidence in the rain right now. No,

528
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:40,720
Speaker 1: I feel fine. It's a it's a long thing. I

529
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:43,680
Speaker 1: I do, you know, I I do. I feel fine,

530
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 1: But I would never never. It's kind of like fantasy football.

531
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:50,240
Speaker 1: Never listen to anyone else's but it's not a fantasy.

532
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 1: It's real money, Yeah, involving real human lives. Yeah, that's

533
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:58,520
Speaker 1: so's you're a grown man. Make your own decisions. If

534
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:00,480
Speaker 1: you want salty, if you want it from other be

535
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:03,080
Speaker 1: on some tips. I've been having a good season picking games.

536
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 1: I think for the health. I think for the healthy,

537
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:08,919
Speaker 1: you need a nice little two in a week here

538
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:11,000
Speaker 1: if you're gonna also inferl a second one of these

539
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 1: at some point during the show, I think, I think

540
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:15,560
Speaker 1: the bit is more just about like life short, like

541
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:17,720
Speaker 1: could I could get I could die in the rain

542
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:19,760
Speaker 1: on the way home tonight, Like would I want to

543
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 1: keep those rain makers? And then that fun in my pocket?

544
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:25,240
Speaker 1: I'm trying to find on the subreddit by the way,

545
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:27,600
Speaker 1: who the who they locked up? I can't even figure

546
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:32,520
Speaker 1: it out. Anyway, Let's move on the Ravens seven and five.

547
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 1: They've won three straight coming out of there by all

548
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:40,560
Speaker 1: three wins with Lamar Jackson behind center. But here is

549
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:43,440
Speaker 1: the biggest test for the kid. And we got the

550
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco situation going on here to Chris Westling, uh,

551
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:49,879
Speaker 1: he's practicing with that hip issue. But here is a

552
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:53,640
Speaker 1: real test. Not a great defense again, Lamar Jackson doesn't

553
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:56,160
Speaker 1: hit up great defense, but a game where they're got

554
00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:58,119
Speaker 1: the score points and it's this is not gonna be

555
00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:02,800
Speaker 1: seventeen fourteen. I I love listening to Tony Romo because

556
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:05,080
Speaker 1: I learned something from him every time. And what I

557
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:08,520
Speaker 1: learned last week was he said the Ravens defense, the

558
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:11,880
Speaker 1: way they run their system, they are the best marriage

559
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:16,240
Speaker 1: of scheme and talent in the NFL. And this game

560
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:18,480
Speaker 1: for the Chiefs is gonna be an unbelievable test for

561
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:22,160
Speaker 1: their offense because the Ravens put more heat on quarterbacks

562
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:25,159
Speaker 1: than anyone else. According to Tony Romo, he thinks this

563
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 1: is gonna be a good matchup. Um and I do too.

564
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:30,160
Speaker 1: I think it's a contrast in styles like the Cowboys

565
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:33,200
Speaker 1: and Saints. And the real problem with the Chiefs defense

566
00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:36,119
Speaker 1: is they are dead last and run d v o

567
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:39,480
Speaker 1: A from Football Outsiders metrics. They don't stop anybody on

568
00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:42,880
Speaker 1: the run. And the Ravens have about seven fifteen yards

569
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:45,400
Speaker 1: rushing in the past three weeks compared to I think

570
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 1: one sixty six for their opponents. Unreal, that's one of

571
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:51,160
Speaker 1: the most lopsided stats I've seen lately. And they just

572
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 1: they just made Doug Martin and Jalen Richard look like

573
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 1: a nice little one to combo. So you're right, I'd

574
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 1: be a little I was surprised coming out of minus

575
00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:00,440
Speaker 1: the multiple fumbles, but yeah, he's running back the phone

576
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:03,320
Speaker 1: all of them. That's fair. But they ran the ball

577
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:06,280
Speaker 1: well against like that defensive performance was concerning because they

578
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:08,200
Speaker 1: had been trending upwards and that was one of their

579
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:10,200
Speaker 1: very worst of the season. I love this is sort

580
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:13,880
Speaker 1: of this ideological tussle because the Ravens the last couple

581
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:17,240
Speaker 1: of weeks. So the obviously not a Ravens fan, but

582
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:19,360
Speaker 1: I can get into a team when suddenly they're doing

583
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:21,760
Speaker 1: something real freaky, like what this team is doing. But

584
00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:24,320
Speaker 1: I'd still see a lot of mistakes from Lamar Jackson

585
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:26,160
Speaker 1: when they try to do something other than have him

586
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:28,560
Speaker 1: be one of the more fascinating guys to watch run

587
00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 1: the ball of our entire lifetime. Found it interesting that

588
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 1: Football Outsiders tweeted that they're actually down in d v

589
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 1: O over the three weeks that Lamar Jackson has played,

590
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:41,440
Speaker 1: and yes, and their way up in defense and special team. Well,

591
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 1: part of that is he turns. He's been turning the

592
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 1: ball over and bumbling a time, even when he doesn't lose,

593
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,600
Speaker 1: lose the ball, and some of them he's missed some

594
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:50,960
Speaker 1: open receivers. But as Rama pointed out, a lot of

595
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:53,720
Speaker 1: the reason the receivers are open is because of Lamar Jackson,

596
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:56,160
Speaker 1: because teams are trying to stop the run on third

597
00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:58,560
Speaker 1: and five so you can scheme up plays, and they're

598
00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 1: coming up with cool stuff each and every week that

599
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:04,200
Speaker 1: defenses really don't have UH an answer for, at least

600
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 1: right away. Like it's putting a lot of pressure on

601
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:08,120
Speaker 1: this raven staff to kind of come up with new

602
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:10,960
Speaker 1: things every week. But they've been doing it, and I

603
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:13,600
Speaker 1: that's what makes football phone it is And I agree

604
00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 1: with you. It is such an interesting UH matchup when

605
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:19,520
Speaker 1: the Chiefs have the ball because because the Ravens are

606
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:22,480
Speaker 1: blitzeeing every day, like they'll come after you first down,

607
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:24,440
Speaker 1: second down, it doesn't matter if they get you, as

608
00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:26,480
Speaker 1: Romo was saying, kind of the second and eleven, like

609
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:29,479
Speaker 1: they're coming, and the Chief's offensive line has been up

610
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:32,040
Speaker 1: and down. I mean, they haven't been any great shake.

611
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:34,680
Speaker 1: So if you're not getting any running game with Kareem

612
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:38,280
Speaker 1: Hunt no longer there and you're into some long yarded situations,

613
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:40,480
Speaker 1: you could see Mahomes make some mistakes like he did

614
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:42,360
Speaker 1: in the Rams game. And I kind of like the

615
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:45,320
Speaker 1: Ravens to keep this one real interesting. They're a little strange.

616
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:47,680
Speaker 1: I think they miss Kareem Hunt through the air too, obviously,

617
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:49,960
Speaker 1: But I wonder, is this the kind of game where,

618
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:51,600
Speaker 1: you know, we talked about all the time, the old

619
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:54,480
Speaker 1: Madden or Techno game where you're you're playing your brother

620
00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:57,080
Speaker 1: and you decide to get a like a ground heavy

621
00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 1: offense and just milk out the entire first quarter and

622
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:02,200
Speaker 1: then oh, by the way, there goes the second quarter

623
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:04,520
Speaker 1: and you keep the ball out of the other team's hands.

624
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:07,240
Speaker 1: It's harder said than done, but this is a better

625
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:09,080
Speaker 1: option to keep the Chiefs off the field. And a

626
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:10,840
Speaker 1: lot of other teams. Well, they've been doing it. They

627
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 1: have the most ten plus played drives the Ravens do

628
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:17,600
Speaker 1: of any team in the NFL by decent margin. They've

629
00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:22,120
Speaker 1: scored points in insecutives quarters. I believe, which is that's

630
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:26,040
Speaker 1: the goal, right, but is probably gonna give it to

631
00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:28,720
Speaker 1: one of you. I want this game. No, I'm not

632
00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:34,000
Speaker 1: requesting that that ball. That ball control strategy that works,

633
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 1: But don't fall behind fourteen nothing? Right, Well, you know

634
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:39,560
Speaker 1: you've got to control the game. You cannot fall behind.

635
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:41,720
Speaker 1: I think that if this game is close after a quarter,

636
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:43,760
Speaker 1: I think it will be a fun game. But I

637
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:45,840
Speaker 1: don't know the Chiefs at home, I can see this

638
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:49,080
Speaker 1: is a nice little muh potential moment here from the

639
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 1: homes because you you take care of the Ravens. After

640
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:55,080
Speaker 1: the week he had last week where he's throwing up

641
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:58,440
Speaker 1: just an insane amount of people. Hey, people ask us

642
00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:00,520
Speaker 1: which game pass games to watch? Sometimes go watch that.

643
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 1: Just watch the Chiefs on offense. It was so you

644
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:06,120
Speaker 1: guys have both, and I think Mark has Well have

645
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:08,600
Speaker 1: been saying Drew Brees is your m VP pick. But

646
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:11,280
Speaker 1: after week thirteen, he had to have closed the gap

647
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:14,760
Speaker 1: the way he played, combined with I totally agree with

648
00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 1: you because I'll always stick to the fact that it's

649
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:19,960
Speaker 1: it's a story more than like a real scientific study,

650
00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:22,480
Speaker 1: especially factoring in who votes. But it's like if you

651
00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 1: put that Saints game back in Week two and they

652
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:26,680
Speaker 1: just kept doing what they were doing, no one would

653
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:29,600
Speaker 1: even remember. But because it happens on Thursday Night football,

654
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:32,280
Speaker 1: it's like, Oh, Drew Brees isn't the m v P leader.

655
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:35,280
Speaker 1: Now potentially it's just it's I think I think they're

656
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:37,120
Speaker 1: one A and one B. I would probably it's also

657
00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:39,360
Speaker 1: a great race, is a great I think, the best

658
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:43,440
Speaker 1: setting records, and he's doing things that you also just

659
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:46,000
Speaker 1: your eyes have never seen. So I think he's right there,

660
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:47,760
Speaker 1: one A, one B. Yeah. And I don't think you

661
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:50,920
Speaker 1: can just off the cuff keep saying that Aaron Rodgers

662
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:53,720
Speaker 1: is the most talented quarterback in the NFL anymore, because

663
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:57,040
Speaker 1: Patrick Patrick's homes talent is there up there with anyone.

664
00:32:57,160 --> 00:33:00,720
Speaker 1: All right, let's move on. The New England Patriots nine

665
00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:02,720
Speaker 1: in three first place in the a f C East.

666
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:05,120
Speaker 1: They currently have the second seed in the a f C,

667
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:08,360
Speaker 1: which would mean a bye for the ninth n row.

668
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:11,120
Speaker 1: I believe Greg, if they can hold onto it. They

669
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:14,560
Speaker 1: travel to Miami to face the Dolphins. The Dolphins got

670
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:21,520
Speaker 1: by uh the Bills barely last week. Greg, But Pat's

671
00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:24,040
Speaker 1: this is Pats season, you know, and and the kids

672
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:29,000
Speaker 1: they do as z and that season December football. They

673
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:31,520
Speaker 1: take care of business in this spot typically they do,

674
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:37,720
Speaker 1: except not in this spot specifically being my it's pretty amazing.

675
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:39,760
Speaker 1: This is the one team that seems to get under

676
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:43,920
Speaker 1: New England's skin in this trip. Right. They had a

677
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:47,160
Speaker 1: few big losses in the early Pats dynasty area era,

678
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:49,720
Speaker 1: and they had they've now lost four or five there

679
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:54,239
Speaker 1: down in Miami. That left laughed because it's around this

680
00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:56,720
Speaker 1: time every year that we have remember Ronnie Brown in

681
00:33:56,760 --> 00:34:00,400
Speaker 1: the Wildcat, Well, they also knocked New England. How did

682
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:03,080
Speaker 1: the playoffs or at least it was in that two

683
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:07,720
Speaker 1: thousand and two seasons, There's not much to point to,

684
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:10,839
Speaker 1: although Rio Pats fans will also remember, I think this

685
00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:13,960
Speaker 1: is kind of in Miami was almost where the dynasty started.

686
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:17,320
Speaker 1: A Week five game where Troy Brown scored an overtime

687
00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:19,800
Speaker 1: kick started that two thousand three season. Eric or remember

688
00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:22,799
Speaker 1: she was six years old back then. Uh, but I'm

689
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:24,279
Speaker 1: not worried about this game at all. I don't care

690
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:28,280
Speaker 1: about the Ford, Oh I'm not. I it's weird. Patriots

691
00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:31,759
Speaker 1: fans are super panicky because their offense clearly isn't as

692
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:33,879
Speaker 1: good as it's been the entire decade. It's the worst

693
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:36,960
Speaker 1: Patriots offense since probably oh nine, which is, you know,

694
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:39,680
Speaker 1: it's it's relative. It's still pretty solid. But I like

695
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:42,839
Speaker 1: that the way that they've changed gears and they've been

696
00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:46,680
Speaker 1: way more aggressive defensively in terms of their blitzes. They're

697
00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:48,799
Speaker 1: playing a little more of a defensive ball control game

698
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:50,560
Speaker 1: because they know it's a little bit of smoking mirrors

699
00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:52,440
Speaker 1: that it's all around the running backs. But it's okay.

700
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:54,719
Speaker 1: There's different ways to win games. Patriots won a lot

701
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:57,520
Speaker 1: of games last decade doing that that sort of style,

702
00:34:57,640 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 1: and I think they're doing it well right now. One

703
00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:02,360
Speaker 1: thing that happening with the Dolphins. This came out today

704
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:04,640
Speaker 1: that Xavieran Howard has been awesome. We talked about him

705
00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:08,879
Speaker 1: on Sunday's Show is out it sounds like, but there's

706
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:12,080
Speaker 1: talk that he may have undergone or will undergo surgery

707
00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:17,000
Speaker 1: on his knee. It's for the Dolphins. As good as

708
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:19,520
Speaker 1: I felt about the Patriots since Week one, the way

709
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:21,840
Speaker 1: they're playing, and I don't think he can just like

710
00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:24,319
Speaker 1: shut down the short passing game or just shut down

711
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:26,120
Speaker 1: the running game, and then you shut down the Patriots.

712
00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:29,040
Speaker 1: That's why you can. You can win several ways with

713
00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:32,520
Speaker 1: this all. That's why I'm gonna take the Patriots and

714
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:36,879
Speaker 1: lock him up. Now, I'm not all right, I don't

715
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:40,440
Speaker 1: do that. That was funny. I like that Dan's hair

716
00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:45,000
Speaker 1: was like fire. I didn't say anything, it was just okay, listen,

717
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:47,440
Speaker 1: it's a mirror. I can't see what that would not

718
00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:50,920
Speaker 1: not look in the mirror that would not pass the

719
00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:53,920
Speaker 1: the point spread test there. I don't care about that mirror,

720
00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:57,719
Speaker 1: but I the one of just you know, varied self respect.

721
00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:00,080
Speaker 1: It doesn't pass that. There is something to watch, I

722
00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:04,319
Speaker 1: think like about the Dolphins. Yeah, the Dolphins. They've only

723
00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:07,000
Speaker 1: had a losing record one week all season. They're about

724
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:10,399
Speaker 1: to have it for two. Um bye bye. Oh one

725
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:13,320
Speaker 1: other one other question, Greg, I read and I enjoyed

726
00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:17,719
Speaker 1: your qbat and thank you, and uh you got tammy boy.

727
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:22,839
Speaker 1: I believe it nine, the number nine quarterback. It's been

728
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:25,720
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks since uh, the whispers of gradual

729
00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:29,120
Speaker 1: decline and we're really starting to percolate. What are you

730
00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:32,440
Speaker 1: feel about Tommy right now? I didn't feel about the

731
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:34,640
Speaker 1: same as I felt with him all season that it's

732
00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:37,480
Speaker 1: not quite I don't think it's the offenses on an

733
00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:41,520
Speaker 1: upward trajectory. I think he's doing some some things you

734
00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:43,800
Speaker 1: would you know, most teams would love out of their quarterback.

735
00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:46,520
Speaker 1: But the vision and that certainly any plays down the

736
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:49,600
Speaker 1: field are not quite there. But that's okay, Like if

737
00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:51,200
Speaker 1: you remember that, I mean, they won super Bowls in

738
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:54,439
Speaker 1: two thousand three, two thousand four, and he wasn't really

739
00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:57,560
Speaker 1: making those sorts of plays. They're they're more of a

740
00:36:57,560 --> 00:36:59,359
Speaker 1: team that's getting a little tough, you know what I mean?

741
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:02,480
Speaker 1: Does have the sub I mean prior to two thousand

742
00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:05,800
Speaker 1: seven or more, what numbers are right now? Like that

743
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:09,960
Speaker 1: that that period where he wasn't a dynamic like producer

744
00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:12,480
Speaker 1: in terms of statistic numbers, and then things blew up

745
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:14,520
Speaker 1: into the part of it is Gronk is coming off

746
00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:17,920
Speaker 1: what Greg Bdard called his worst game maybe in like

747
00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:21,600
Speaker 1: a decade old. He looked, he was terrible. Blocking doesn't

748
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:24,040
Speaker 1: look right Edelman is seems to be playing through an injury,

749
00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:27,160
Speaker 1: but sometimes it doesn't matter. Sometimes it's not about one,

750
00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:31,480
Speaker 1: it's about fifty three. And that's that's why, like I

751
00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:34,520
Speaker 1: almost noticed it. It was like it was like I

752
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:36,160
Speaker 1: came into the studio today and it was just like

753
00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:38,280
Speaker 1: leaking a little bit, Like was it was it leaking?

754
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:47,200
Speaker 1: Making it right on this game downstairs? I don't care.

755
00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:51,280
Speaker 1: That's nine Patriots go in there in the role. Alright,

756
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:53,520
Speaker 1: forget his story. You need a couple of wins. I'm

757
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:55,840
Speaker 1: rooting for you. What I love it. I like this segment,

758
00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:58,600
Speaker 1: but what I know you don't think there's accountability on it.

759
00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:00,520
Speaker 1: But you need a couple of wuts this week. At

760
00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:04,640
Speaker 1: least one give us one. I'm doctor Rainmaker's gotta go one.

761
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:11,759
Speaker 1: Some wins, not win, you need multiple. That's also we're

762
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:14,200
Speaker 1: told each each week that one of our game previews

763
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:16,239
Speaker 1: has put on YouTube. And I just realized that was

764
00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:18,760
Speaker 1: that one where I spent the entire time like leaning

765
00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:21,240
Speaker 1: back in my chair and like stretching my legs and stuff.

766
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:25,680
Speaker 1: Gonna be a total hit. Hey, Jewish doctor down in Miami,

800
00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:36,239
Speaker 1: his podcast read that same ad, and I almost see

801
00:40:36,239 --> 00:40:37,919
Speaker 1: it like as a challenge, because I feel like our

802
00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:42,200
Speaker 1: listeners should be manlier and like Steaks more than did Maren.

803
00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:44,920
Speaker 1: We can take them down. Did Maron? Did they send

804
00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:47,840
Speaker 1: Marin Steaks? Mark? How do you feel love to a

805
00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:51,640
Speaker 1: personal I don't. I didn't hear that. I think it's

806
00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:54,480
Speaker 1: it's you know, short, slighted. It's a jump to conclusions. Yeah,

807
00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:57,000
Speaker 1: now that's true. It's also sexist, like no one likes

808
00:40:57,040 --> 00:41:00,040
Speaker 1: steak more than than my wife and many women, and

809
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:04,640
Speaker 1: I think you in multiple ways. All Right, here we go.

810
00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:07,799
Speaker 1: Let's move on NFC South matchup to say it's at

811
00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:12,600
Speaker 1: tenant to travel to Tampa to face a frisky Bucks

812
00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:16,480
Speaker 1: team mark five and seven. They've won two straight drew brees.

813
00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:20,040
Speaker 1: Though I buy into some people say, oh, these are fake,

814
00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:22,720
Speaker 1: made up sports narratives. I like teams that are angry,

815
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:25,520
Speaker 1: and they just got kind of humbled after a hot

816
00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:27,240
Speaker 1: run and now it's like I don't want that team

817
00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:29,719
Speaker 1: after they got shut down for the first time in

818
00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:32,000
Speaker 1: two and a half months. Good luck to you, Bucks.

819
00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:33,719
Speaker 1: There's a couple of games like that this week, and

820
00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:36,959
Speaker 1: I agree with you. I have kind of been short

821
00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:39,160
Speaker 1: of just dismissing the Bucks here and there as a

822
00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:41,040
Speaker 1: bit of a disaster. But I thought they played one

823
00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:45,440
Speaker 1: of their more complete games last week and they you know,

824
00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:47,239
Speaker 1: it came down to the end against Carolina, but they

825
00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:49,839
Speaker 1: also in that game fumbled the ball at the goal line.

826
00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:51,839
Speaker 1: It wouldn't have been nearly as close as it may

827
00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:56,560
Speaker 1: have been at the end had that not gone Carolina's way. Still, though,

828
00:41:57,120 --> 00:41:59,640
Speaker 1: despite the turnovers, that was a nice change for Tampa

829
00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:02,640
Speaker 1: Bay to you know, to wreak havoc against the Panthers

830
00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:05,160
Speaker 1: with all the with all the takeaways. But they still

831
00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:10,320
Speaker 1: remain the team that is allowing the highest complacent percentage

832
00:42:10,320 --> 00:42:13,240
Speaker 1: in the league, the highest QB rating and has gone

833
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:17,080
Speaker 1: and here comes Drew Brees and who was completing his

834
00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:22,879
Speaker 1: passes roughly been better though over the last monthly. Part

835
00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:26,239
Speaker 1: of it is their opponents. But I got back last week,

836
00:42:26,239 --> 00:42:28,279
Speaker 1: and Gerald McCoy came back the week before that. I

837
00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:31,080
Speaker 1: think they flipped the script a little bit MVP of

838
00:42:31,160 --> 00:42:33,120
Speaker 1: that game, and that was I agree with you, that

839
00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:35,520
Speaker 1: was their best game overall. You know, I thought Jamis

840
00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:39,880
Speaker 1: Winston actually played a clear the things should kill him on.

841
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:42,400
Speaker 1: It was a different time of type of performance from him.

842
00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:44,319
Speaker 1: And so I don't think it's just to go in

843
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:47,000
Speaker 1: and blow out the Bucks type thing. I don't really

844
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:49,040
Speaker 1: see much of a home field advantage in Tampa Bay

845
00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:51,040
Speaker 1: at all, and that the road is where maybe you

846
00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:53,520
Speaker 1: can get Drew into Drew Brees is mind, I guess.

847
00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:56,040
Speaker 1: But this isn't like, hey, here's what the Cowboys did,

848
00:42:56,280 --> 00:43:00,239
Speaker 1: let's go copy that formula because we're the Bucks. No yeah,

849
00:43:00,239 --> 00:43:02,759
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna fall into the regency recency bias trap here.

850
00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:04,879
Speaker 1: The Saints should win by double digits in this game.

851
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:08,680
Speaker 1: About outcome bias, well that's I mean, yes, I like

852
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:11,120
Speaker 1: things that actually happened versus things that happened in other

853
00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:15,400
Speaker 1: people's heads. Okay, they should, they should, But but this

854
00:43:15,440 --> 00:43:18,880
Speaker 1: is a tough matchup and some matchups within the division

855
00:43:19,960 --> 00:43:21,719
Speaker 1: because the Bucks have beat them too straight. They beat

856
00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:24,279
Speaker 1: him in Week seventeen last year in a pretty big

857
00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:26,600
Speaker 1: spot for the Saints, and the Saints couldn't get that done.

858
00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:30,080
Speaker 1: That was the game of the century. No, they're not.

859
00:43:30,239 --> 00:43:32,680
Speaker 1: But Dirk Cutters four and three or three and two

860
00:43:32,680 --> 00:43:35,239
Speaker 1: against Sean Payton. I'm just saying they've struggled against the Bucks.

861
00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:37,400
Speaker 1: They lost their one of their losses this year is

862
00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:43,399
Speaker 1: against the Bucks. Should it's outally different team than they were, remember, absolutely,

863
00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:46,440
Speaker 1: But I would say the Bucks defense is better and

864
00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:49,080
Speaker 1: if the Bucks can avoid turnovers, which they have the

865
00:43:49,160 --> 00:43:50,960
Speaker 1: last two weeks, and this is a much tougher matchup

866
00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:54,000
Speaker 1: for them, I think the Saints's eyes because of those

867
00:43:54,040 --> 00:43:56,839
Speaker 1: recent results, are wide open that the Bucks are are

868
00:43:56,920 --> 00:43:59,600
Speaker 1: a dangerous team for them. That's all is there? Anyway,

869
00:43:59,760 --> 00:44:03,160
Speaker 1: let's say some division matchups like Dolphins Pats. For whatever reason,

870
00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:05,799
Speaker 1: it's just it's insane that Dirk Cutter has a winning record.

871
00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:08,759
Speaker 1: Againstean Paine did also might mean nothing. Is there any

872
00:44:08,840 --> 00:44:11,480
Speaker 1: shot if they ever pulled this upset over New Orleans

873
00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:13,640
Speaker 1: that Dirk Hutter keeps his job? Is there any way

874
00:44:13,680 --> 00:44:16,400
Speaker 1: we move into another year of dirt, if they go

875
00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:18,960
Speaker 1: eight and eight or something, he would have a shot.

876
00:44:19,040 --> 00:44:22,040
Speaker 1: Don't you think. I don't think that's gonna have this

877
00:44:22,160 --> 00:44:26,279
Speaker 1: his uh saying this is if you're listening to the show,

878
00:44:26,360 --> 00:44:29,759
Speaker 1: you're probably aware this is for almost every fantasy league

879
00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:33,080
Speaker 1: the opening of the playoffs, and you're feeling good if

880
00:44:33,080 --> 00:44:36,040
Speaker 1: you got album Kamara because the Bucks get tore up.

881
00:44:36,040 --> 00:44:38,879
Speaker 1: Now McCoy's back, and that's that's important to keep in mind.

882
00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:41,440
Speaker 1: But they are on a really bad streaks seven straight

883
00:44:41,440 --> 00:44:44,880
Speaker 1: games or their opponent has over a hundred yards uh rushing.

884
00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:48,000
Speaker 1: So Camara is set up well to do some death

885
00:44:48,120 --> 00:44:55,560
Speaker 1: and mark Ingram mark Eric is like it is already

886
00:44:55,600 --> 00:44:59,719
Speaker 1: the weekend in my world. What is she doing? She's

887
00:44:59,760 --> 00:45:05,200
Speaker 1: like wiping right back writing in her diary. I'm left, Uh,

888
00:45:05,320 --> 00:45:09,520
Speaker 1: let's putting social up for the broadcast. The New York

889
00:45:09,520 --> 00:45:11,319
Speaker 1: Giants are four and eight. They've won three or four,

890
00:45:11,440 --> 00:45:13,760
Speaker 1: but well, when you start one in seven, it doesn't

891
00:45:13,760 --> 00:45:17,600
Speaker 1: really matter, or does it. They traveled to d C.

892
00:45:18,520 --> 00:45:21,359
Speaker 1: Landover to be specific, to face the Redskins who are

893
00:45:21,360 --> 00:45:26,080
Speaker 1: skidding their six and six and oh my goodness, Chris Westling.

894
00:45:26,520 --> 00:45:29,560
Speaker 1: They have Alex Smith. He breaks his leg and by

895
00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:32,440
Speaker 1: the way, there's news, not great news. We don't know

896
00:45:32,480 --> 00:45:36,920
Speaker 1: how bad it is, but there was a news today

897
00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:39,799
Speaker 1: that came out that he's dealing with an infection in

898
00:45:39,840 --> 00:45:41,920
Speaker 1: the area of where he suffered that broken leg. It

899
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:46,000
Speaker 1: was one of those gross injuries where the bone goes

900
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:48,719
Speaker 1: through the skin, and I think that is complicating things,

901
00:45:48,719 --> 00:45:53,680
Speaker 1: perhaps in a spiral fracture down there. And I do

902
00:45:53,760 --> 00:45:55,839
Speaker 1: remember going back to Tom Brady in two thousand and eight,

903
00:45:56,120 --> 00:45:58,480
Speaker 1: he had an infection after his surgery. Remember, there was

904
00:45:58,480 --> 00:46:00,759
Speaker 1: a lot about that, and he ended up fine. So

905
00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:02,600
Speaker 1: hopefully the same thing with Alex Smith. It's just a

906
00:46:02,600 --> 00:46:04,880
Speaker 1: part of the recovery process and a little bit of

907
00:46:04,880 --> 00:46:06,600
Speaker 1: a setback, but that's something to keep. By the way,

908
00:46:06,600 --> 00:46:08,680
Speaker 1: he's in a hospital room next to Cult McCoy. I

909
00:46:08,760 --> 00:46:10,960
Speaker 1: mean that to be pretty much a picture of the

910
00:46:10,960 --> 00:46:13,120
Speaker 1: Redskins seas. Yeah, that was part two of this is that?

911
00:46:13,160 --> 00:46:16,480
Speaker 1: Then Colt McCoy two weeks later breaks his leg. Not

912
00:46:16,560 --> 00:46:19,279
Speaker 1: as ghastly an injury, but it ends his season. So

913
00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:22,680
Speaker 1: now it is Mark Sanchez against the New York Giants.

914
00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:26,360
Speaker 1: Chris Westling, how you feeling well? I thought about locking

915
00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:28,279
Speaker 1: this up in the giants favor, but I couldn't look

916
00:46:28,320 --> 00:46:30,839
Speaker 1: myself in the mirror. They're a much better team than

917
00:46:30,840 --> 00:46:33,879
Speaker 1: the Redskins are right now with Mark Sanchez and half

918
00:46:33,880 --> 00:46:37,040
Speaker 1: a playbook and their offensive line had another couple of

919
00:46:37,080 --> 00:46:39,000
Speaker 1: injury or that strong. You should be making it rain

920
00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:41,560
Speaker 1: this week because you know it's a pretty close, little,

921
00:46:41,640 --> 00:46:45,160
Speaker 1: uh close little spread. I'm saying, no, we're not. I'm

922
00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:48,040
Speaker 1: just saying, if he's feeling I annoint you as my rainmaker,

923
00:46:48,360 --> 00:46:52,399
Speaker 1: and um, let's get like Lucinda Williams playing for west

924
00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:55,279
Speaker 1: when he does his rainmaker. I like that Land and

925
00:46:55,360 --> 00:46:58,720
Speaker 1: Collins to I r out for the year. But really,

926
00:46:58,840 --> 00:47:00,719
Speaker 1: what I really want to talk about the lines. Dan

927
00:47:01,719 --> 00:47:04,759
Speaker 1: is the reigning Special Teams Player of the Week, and

928
00:47:04,880 --> 00:47:07,520
Speaker 1: you know that ever since Graham Gano took a turn

929
00:47:07,560 --> 00:47:10,239
Speaker 1: for the worse, there's a vacancy right there at the

930
00:47:10,320 --> 00:47:13,200
Speaker 1: number two spot in the kicker rankings, right behind Justin Tucker.

931
00:47:13,480 --> 00:47:18,279
Speaker 1: And I want to nominate Aldrich Rosas. Built like a linebacker.

932
00:47:18,320 --> 00:47:20,800
Speaker 1: He kicks him from fifty seven, he kicks him from forty,

933
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:24,719
Speaker 1: He kicks him from anywhere. He'll tackle you on special teams.

934
00:47:24,760 --> 00:47:27,880
Speaker 1: This guy's money and the players and coaches love him

935
00:47:27,880 --> 00:47:31,120
Speaker 1: there and he doesn't miss kicks. Dan just like reclined

936
00:47:31,120 --> 00:47:36,880
Speaker 1: and unbuttoned the top of his pants. Uh. Very nice kicker.

937
00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:39,120
Speaker 1: A guy that's gonna be, you know, in a lost

938
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:41,880
Speaker 1: year for New York football. Uh, the kickers have been

939
00:47:41,880 --> 00:47:44,719
Speaker 1: good for both the New York teams. Uh, so you

940
00:47:44,760 --> 00:47:46,800
Speaker 1: have that going for you and the kicking the elements.

941
00:47:46,960 --> 00:47:51,560
Speaker 1: I do enjoy the section of the season where Eli,

942
00:47:51,640 --> 00:47:54,680
Speaker 1: Manning out of Spike, continues to ruin the draft picked

943
00:47:54,680 --> 00:47:57,000
Speaker 1: of the man that will replace him. It's like it's

944
00:47:57,080 --> 00:47:59,759
Speaker 1: just like a fun part of the year. Worse and

945
00:47:59,840 --> 00:48:01,319
Speaker 1: he's not as bad as you want him to be.

946
00:48:01,520 --> 00:48:04,040
Speaker 1: And his and he's you know, he has like the Giants,

947
00:48:04,080 --> 00:48:06,400
Speaker 1: he's the twenty three or fourth best. They didn't win

948
00:48:06,520 --> 00:48:11,359
Speaker 1: last week. They're going to regret these I think they're

949
00:48:11,360 --> 00:48:12,960
Speaker 1: going to get their quarterback, and I think there is

950
00:48:12,960 --> 00:48:16,400
Speaker 1: a chance um that they'll keep Elie though in draft

951
00:48:16,480 --> 00:48:19,879
Speaker 1: and draft someone there's a chance. Well, I'm fine as

952
00:48:19,880 --> 00:48:22,880
Speaker 1: long as Part two happens, and not in round three

953
00:48:22,960 --> 00:48:26,200
Speaker 1: and not Kyle Aletta again. Another guy who's gonna stop

954
00:48:26,239 --> 00:48:28,759
Speaker 1: flying off the highway and week getting upset at least

955
00:48:28,760 --> 00:48:31,000
Speaker 1: and running away from cops. And I talked that that's

956
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:33,120
Speaker 1: how you build around. I talked on her Twitter show

957
00:48:33,160 --> 00:48:34,719
Speaker 1: that they shouldn't get rid of j Gruden, who I

958
00:48:34,760 --> 00:48:36,799
Speaker 1: think has done a good job overall, and it's an

959
00:48:36,840 --> 00:48:39,279
Speaker 1: offensive coach. But by the way, the Redskins defense, which

960
00:48:39,320 --> 00:48:41,799
Speaker 1: has been pretty bad overall, is not that injured, and

961
00:48:41,840 --> 00:48:43,840
Speaker 1: it's still a bad defense as it's been throughout the

962
00:48:43,880 --> 00:48:45,759
Speaker 1: Gruden ea, so he doesn't deserve a pastor that. I

963
00:48:45,800 --> 00:48:49,680
Speaker 1: have a deeply unpopular hot take, especially in this room.

964
00:48:49,760 --> 00:48:52,560
Speaker 1: And it's even a little hard for me to say because, uh,

965
00:48:52,600 --> 00:48:56,400
Speaker 1: because my team's quarterback. But I don't think the Giants

966
00:48:56,400 --> 00:48:59,319
Speaker 1: got their draft pick wrong. Who's the who's the best?

967
00:48:59,360 --> 00:49:01,640
Speaker 1: Not on the that's not unpopular in this room. I

968
00:49:01,680 --> 00:49:03,879
Speaker 1: thought it was. I thought, well, I don't to the

969
00:49:03,880 --> 00:49:05,759
Speaker 1: theory that you have to take a certain position at

970
00:49:05,800 --> 00:49:07,560
Speaker 1: a certain I think that's a mean thing, though I

971
00:49:07,600 --> 00:49:09,759
Speaker 1: would I would rather if I'm a Giants fan, But

972
00:49:09,800 --> 00:49:12,160
Speaker 1: a lot of Giants fans disagree with this, so I

973
00:49:12,200 --> 00:49:15,080
Speaker 1: think and Barkley is having a historic rookie season. I mean,

974
00:49:15,480 --> 00:49:18,400
Speaker 1: Mayfield has been as good as advertised and maybe better

975
00:49:18,480 --> 00:49:20,880
Speaker 1: with Cleveland. Uh they but the Giants didn't have a

976
00:49:20,920 --> 00:49:23,799
Speaker 1: choice to get Mayfield. They took sae Quon Barkley, and

977
00:49:23,800 --> 00:49:26,120
Speaker 1: who knows with Sam Donald or the other rookie quarterbacks.

978
00:49:26,160 --> 00:49:28,680
Speaker 1: But what we've seen so far is that Barkley is

979
00:49:28,680 --> 00:49:33,000
Speaker 1: the best case scenario generational superstar talent. I don't think

980
00:49:33,040 --> 00:49:35,000
Speaker 1: they I would just say this, I think you can

981
00:49:35,080 --> 00:49:38,919
Speaker 1: make you can make the differently, if Sam Donald turns

982
00:49:38,920 --> 00:49:41,520
Speaker 1: into who you think, it's so early you almost can't

983
00:49:41,520 --> 00:49:43,960
Speaker 1: say it. So I I think they should have taken

984
00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:49,080
Speaker 1: a quarterback there, Sam, you need time to those it does.

985
00:49:49,160 --> 00:49:51,400
Speaker 1: It looks better now that it did in August, especially

986
00:49:51,440 --> 00:49:55,960
Speaker 1: because they seemed to put the message out there that

987
00:49:56,440 --> 00:49:59,440
Speaker 1: we were in on Baker, but if we couldn't get Baker,

988
00:49:59,719 --> 00:50:01,640
Speaker 1: then we weren't going to take a quarterback. And so

989
00:50:01,680 --> 00:50:04,680
Speaker 1: they thought Baker that there was a significant uh gap

990
00:50:04,719 --> 00:50:06,719
Speaker 1: between him, and if it turns out that they were right,

991
00:50:06,800 --> 00:50:09,080
Speaker 1: then you're right. It also looks better because Darnold's been

992
00:50:09,080 --> 00:50:11,640
Speaker 1: injured for a while and we've forgotten about some of

993
00:50:11,680 --> 00:50:13,880
Speaker 1: his better moments and he's trapped in the Jets offense

994
00:50:13,880 --> 00:50:16,320
Speaker 1: where we have no idea what he One thing that's different,

995
00:50:16,360 --> 00:50:18,400
Speaker 1: which I wrote about on QB Index this week, there

996
00:50:18,440 --> 00:50:20,920
Speaker 1: aren't there many teams that are looking for quarterbacks this offseason,

997
00:50:21,040 --> 00:50:23,040
Speaker 1: so it might not be as hard for them to maneuver.

998
00:50:23,120 --> 00:50:25,439
Speaker 1: I don't know what the draft all of that. It's

999
00:50:25,440 --> 00:50:28,440
Speaker 1: really just the Giants, the Redskins, and the Jaguars that

1000
00:50:28,480 --> 00:50:31,200
Speaker 1: I think are like, absolutely desperate, and the Giants have

1001
00:50:31,239 --> 00:50:32,920
Speaker 1: the worst record of those and I have the same

1002
00:50:32,960 --> 00:50:35,279
Speaker 1: as as where I grew up in. One of the

1003
00:50:35,280 --> 00:50:38,000
Speaker 1: frustrations of growing up as a Jets fan in Giants Country,

1004
00:50:38,320 --> 00:50:41,440
Speaker 1: which is what uh uh. The neighborhood and in the

1005
00:50:41,440 --> 00:50:43,920
Speaker 1: town I grew up in, was all Giants fans. They

1006
00:50:43,920 --> 00:50:46,560
Speaker 1: see they usually seem to get it right, and it

1007
00:50:46,560 --> 00:50:49,239
Speaker 1: would get me so mad that the Giants always seemed

1008
00:50:49,280 --> 00:50:51,279
Speaker 1: to make the right decisions and the Jets always mess

1009
00:50:51,320 --> 00:50:53,040
Speaker 1: it up. So we'll see maybe they won't get a

1010
00:50:53,120 --> 00:50:55,080
Speaker 1: quarterback and it will be an abyss there for a decade.

1011
00:50:55,280 --> 00:50:56,920
Speaker 1: But let's see how it plays. Barkley is one of

1012
00:50:56,960 --> 00:50:59,160
Speaker 1: four running backs right now on pace for two thousand

1013
00:50:59,239 --> 00:51:02,000
Speaker 1: yards from Scrimma there that that's never happened, I don't think,

1014
00:51:02,120 --> 00:51:05,239
Speaker 1: and it's ever been three even Girly Zeke, McCaffrey and

1015
00:51:05,320 --> 00:51:09,120
Speaker 1: s Quan. Let's move on the Cincinnati Bengals or five

1016
00:51:09,160 --> 00:51:12,160
Speaker 1: and seven? Uh, they went into their buy at five

1017
00:51:12,200 --> 00:51:14,879
Speaker 1: and three and they've lost every game since. And then

1018
00:51:14,880 --> 00:51:17,480
Speaker 1: now they traveled to the stub Hub Center, it might

1019
00:51:17,520 --> 00:51:20,200
Speaker 1: get loud. Hey, we might actually have a majority Chargers

1020
00:51:20,200 --> 00:51:22,799
Speaker 1: fans at the StubHub Center because who from Cincinnati has

1021
00:51:22,840 --> 00:51:26,359
Speaker 1: traveled to see this Bengals team? Greg Or? It could

1022
00:51:26,440 --> 00:51:30,480
Speaker 1: they could be masquerading his empty seats, but they they

1023
00:51:30,520 --> 00:51:32,960
Speaker 1: they're not even showing up in Cincinnati, those Bengals fans,

1024
00:51:32,960 --> 00:51:35,960
Speaker 1: and why would they? This is a dead team walking.

1025
00:51:36,080 --> 00:51:39,000
Speaker 1: So let's talk about these these Chargers. We we did

1026
00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:41,480
Speaker 1: the Sunday night game last week and we enjoyed. But

1027
00:51:41,560 --> 00:51:43,640
Speaker 1: one thing I don't think we really talked about during

1028
00:51:43,680 --> 00:51:47,200
Speaker 1: the recap was in a season full of special Derwin

1029
00:51:47,320 --> 00:51:50,200
Speaker 1: James Games. I mean that was a great statement for

1030
00:51:50,320 --> 00:51:52,360
Speaker 1: defensive Rookie of the Year. I thought that was his

1031
00:51:52,400 --> 00:51:54,080
Speaker 1: best game of the year. He did a little bit

1032
00:51:54,080 --> 00:51:59,440
Speaker 1: of everything. And competition. Darius Leonard, Layton Vanderis Bradley Chubb

1033
00:51:59,719 --> 00:52:06,279
Speaker 1: to in this lander. Vanders is rugged downhill thumping linebacker

1034
00:52:06,560 --> 00:52:09,719
Speaker 1: who sits atop an Eric list for defensive Rookie of

1035
00:52:09,760 --> 00:52:14,160
Speaker 1: the Year. Tall drink of water, shot up. I'm doing

1036
00:52:14,160 --> 00:52:21,200
Speaker 1: something football related that was amazing to me. It's Derwin

1037
00:52:21,280 --> 00:52:24,320
Speaker 1: jameson Vanderish are the two? Oh? Come on, you cannot

1038
00:52:24,400 --> 00:52:30,920
Speaker 1: leave Darius Leonard out of the conversation. Conversation Tell me

1039
00:52:30,920 --> 00:52:34,520
Speaker 1: why how you doing? Tell me why? Tell me why?

1040
00:52:34,560 --> 00:52:37,200
Speaker 1: He leads the Naville tackles, He leads all these linebackers

1041
00:52:37,200 --> 00:52:40,200
Speaker 1: and sacks. He leads them all in big plays. How

1042
00:52:40,200 --> 00:52:42,440
Speaker 1: can he not be in the discussion? Down, Greg, go back,

1043
00:52:42,480 --> 00:52:45,680
Speaker 1: Adam Harder, Let's go to the lab. That is ridiculous.

1044
00:52:45,680 --> 00:52:47,360
Speaker 1: How can you just take a guy out because you

1045
00:52:47,400 --> 00:52:49,040
Speaker 1: don't think he could be in it? But you only

1046
00:52:49,080 --> 00:52:52,160
Speaker 1: get one vote? And in my heart in mind, these

1047
00:52:52,200 --> 00:52:55,680
Speaker 1: two are among the best that their positions, rookie or not.

1048
00:52:56,080 --> 00:52:57,799
Speaker 1: And I'm not sure I would pute I wouldn't put

1049
00:52:57,880 --> 00:53:03,720
Speaker 1: Leonard there. Why? Okay, I don't really know. Is Greg's

1050
00:53:03,719 --> 00:53:05,759
Speaker 1: still in the wedding party now? Yeah, just like what

1051
00:53:05,960 --> 00:53:08,799
Speaker 1: you can't just remove a good player because you don't

1052
00:53:08,800 --> 00:53:11,160
Speaker 1: watch or something. I don't know. I mean, I watched

1053
00:53:11,160 --> 00:53:14,600
Speaker 1: the Cults every week. To me, okay, he's been great.

1054
00:53:14,640 --> 00:53:17,080
Speaker 1: I don't think he's been as big of an like

1055
00:53:17,160 --> 00:53:20,320
Speaker 1: first team all probably type of difference maker that Derwin

1056
00:53:20,440 --> 00:53:23,120
Speaker 1: James has been in. Vander Esh has been a shooting star.

1057
00:53:23,160 --> 00:53:24,759
Speaker 1: It's only been five or six games, but he hasn't

1058
00:53:24,760 --> 00:53:26,759
Speaker 1: been at that level. And there Darius Leonard's been at

1059
00:53:26,800 --> 00:53:30,879
Speaker 1: Vanderesh's level all year. It's just Vanderesh who's catching up. Now,

1060
00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:35,040
Speaker 1: I would disagree, Yoma Vendor. I mean, I love Vanderesh

1061
00:53:35,080 --> 00:53:37,200
Speaker 1: as much as anyone, but you know that is what

1062
00:53:37,280 --> 00:53:39,879
Speaker 1: you're doing to Darius Leonard isn't right? That's that's that's

1063
00:53:39,920 --> 00:53:45,200
Speaker 1: fair prediction. Chargers win that. I think that's the star

1064
00:53:45,280 --> 00:53:47,000
Speaker 1: of the game. Guy that we liked a lot last

1065
00:53:47,040 --> 00:53:49,760
Speaker 1: week will be Justin Jackson on offense. But I predict

1066
00:53:49,800 --> 00:53:54,239
Speaker 1: a Joey Bosa explosion. Get the case with this win,

1067
00:53:54,320 --> 00:53:58,800
Speaker 1: they shouldn't lose get without losing this game, and we can.

1068
00:53:58,960 --> 00:54:02,600
Speaker 1: Everyone is He's gonna Jeff Triscoll about five or six

1069
00:54:02,680 --> 00:54:06,600
Speaker 1: times everywhere. Everyone's patting the Chargers on the helmet as

1070
00:54:06,640 --> 00:54:08,880
Speaker 1: they as they should after that great comeback in Pittsburgh,

1071
00:54:09,239 --> 00:54:12,000
Speaker 1: but not do not do the Chargers thing and below

1072
00:54:12,040 --> 00:54:16,600
Speaker 1: this game going to call a business. No, Green haven't

1073
00:54:16,600 --> 00:54:18,759
Speaker 1: done school. I'm a little worried long term about their

1074
00:54:18,800 --> 00:54:21,080
Speaker 1: offensive line, but their matchups coming up, it might not

1075
00:54:21,239 --> 00:54:23,120
Speaker 1: hurt them. They're they're starting to look a little more

1076
00:54:23,160 --> 00:54:25,640
Speaker 1: like those old Chargers offensive lines. Once upon a time,

1077
00:54:25,719 --> 00:54:28,160
Speaker 1: Chris Westling fell in love with the Colts. That affair

1078
00:54:28,239 --> 00:54:30,880
Speaker 1: is over. He is now in bed with the Denver Broncos.

1079
00:54:30,960 --> 00:54:34,440
Speaker 1: Oh wait, that's not true anymore either, because Emmanuel Sanders

1080
00:54:34,680 --> 00:54:37,839
Speaker 1: blew as Achilles in practice yesterday. I wasn't in bed

1081
00:54:37,840 --> 00:54:40,000
Speaker 1: with the Broncos. Since now it's just like him and

1082
00:54:40,680 --> 00:54:43,200
Speaker 1: it's just him and Darius Leonard under the sheets having

1083
00:54:43,239 --> 00:54:46,640
Speaker 1: a conversation. You're in my conversation those middle school relations

1084
00:54:47,640 --> 00:54:49,200
Speaker 1: for like three or four weeks, and you feel like

1085
00:54:49,200 --> 00:54:51,880
Speaker 1: you've had like a real love affair. This is it

1086
00:54:51,960 --> 00:54:53,600
Speaker 1: is one of you know, we know each other so

1087
00:54:53,640 --> 00:54:56,400
Speaker 1: well by now when Greg's a little bit annoyed about

1088
00:54:56,440 --> 00:54:58,839
Speaker 1: forty five seconds and two minute passes, and then he'll

1089
00:54:58,880 --> 00:55:00,719
Speaker 1: come back at you with oh he was in his

1090
00:55:00,840 --> 00:55:03,160
Speaker 1: his head was the brain was working on how to

1091
00:55:03,200 --> 00:55:07,160
Speaker 1: come back, how like unseat Westlings And yeah, just trying

1092
00:55:07,160 --> 00:55:10,040
Speaker 1: to get the last word because I'm a jerk. The

1093
00:55:10,040 --> 00:55:13,000
Speaker 1: Broncos anyway, six and six. But yes, the Sanders news,

1094
00:55:13,040 --> 00:55:15,480
Speaker 1: and we talked about it because the forty Niners are

1095
00:55:15,480 --> 00:55:18,680
Speaker 1: playing out the string. As we discussed on Wednesday's podcast,

1096
00:55:18,840 --> 00:55:22,560
Speaker 1: the Emmanuel Sanders injury is not uh, but I do

1097
00:55:22,640 --> 00:55:26,320
Speaker 1: think since all that vance, Joseph is is under fire business.

1098
00:55:26,440 --> 00:55:29,040
Speaker 1: Right before that Cardinals epic blow out over the Cardinals,

1099
00:55:29,400 --> 00:55:32,520
Speaker 1: they lost to the Chiefs by its touchdown. They lost

1100
00:55:32,560 --> 00:55:35,320
Speaker 1: to the Texans by two points on the last second

1101
00:55:35,360 --> 00:55:40,120
Speaker 1: missfield goal. They knocked out the Steelers and Chargers and

1102
00:55:40,280 --> 00:55:44,200
Speaker 1: shredded the Bengals and Cardinals. And I feel like, if

1103
00:55:44,239 --> 00:55:47,160
Speaker 1: you're John Elway, or if you guys for John Elway,

1104
00:55:47,280 --> 00:55:49,760
Speaker 1: would you keep fans Joseph or not? Is that doesn't

1105
00:55:49,760 --> 00:55:52,560
Speaker 1: have anything to do with the coaching being improved or

1106
00:55:52,640 --> 00:55:54,840
Speaker 1: is it No, this cannot work. We have got to

1107
00:55:54,880 --> 00:55:58,400
Speaker 1: move on. Then the last month of the season has

1108
00:55:58,440 --> 00:56:00,759
Speaker 1: to play out in order to say that if they

1109
00:56:00,800 --> 00:56:04,120
Speaker 1: create or if they just fed, the season magically ended

1110
00:56:04,160 --> 00:56:10,200
Speaker 1: today and you had to make the decision today. I

1111
00:56:10,200 --> 00:56:13,120
Speaker 1: don't know, because he's done a good job getting the

1112
00:56:13,200 --> 00:56:18,840
Speaker 1: defense to turn around, but his his strategy at the

1113
00:56:18,920 --> 00:56:20,600
Speaker 1: end of halves and at the end of games is

1114
00:56:20,680 --> 00:56:22,880
Speaker 1: so bad that that I don't know. It seems to

1115
00:56:22,920 --> 00:56:25,040
Speaker 1: kill him with the decision almost every week. And when

1116
00:56:25,280 --> 00:56:27,839
Speaker 1: fifth and D v O A. Right now, the Broncos are,

1117
00:56:27,920 --> 00:56:30,080
Speaker 1: which is wild like that, and there's a decent amount

1118
00:56:30,080 --> 00:56:32,279
Speaker 1: of a decent gap between them and the next group,

1119
00:56:32,280 --> 00:56:35,200
Speaker 1: which is the Steelers, Bears, and Patriots. So they have

1120
00:56:35,360 --> 00:56:38,120
Speaker 1: been to your point, they've played good teams tight, they've

1121
00:56:38,160 --> 00:56:41,399
Speaker 1: been unlucky with injuries. I mean, they're missing three fists

1122
00:56:41,480 --> 00:56:43,920
Speaker 1: of their offensive line. I do think, though, this is

1123
00:56:43,960 --> 00:56:46,800
Speaker 1: a matchup where it is fair to criticize John Elway

1124
00:56:46,840 --> 00:56:50,960
Speaker 1: because the man that he most strongly considered for that job,

1125
00:56:51,040 --> 00:56:53,040
Speaker 1: other than Vance Joseph or at least thought about it,

1126
00:56:53,040 --> 00:56:55,120
Speaker 1: was on the other sideline, Kyle Shanahan, and I think

1127
00:56:55,160 --> 00:56:56,640
Speaker 1: that would have been the way to go, And there

1128
00:56:56,719 --> 00:56:59,239
Speaker 1: was some thought that Kyle Shanahan is gonna want to

1129
00:56:59,280 --> 00:57:01,160
Speaker 1: do things his way and have a little too much

1130
00:57:01,160 --> 00:57:03,600
Speaker 1: say in personnel, and Elway didn't want to give up

1131
00:57:03,600 --> 00:57:05,840
Speaker 1: that control. A lot of hirings are made that way,

1132
00:57:06,000 --> 00:57:08,680
Speaker 1: trying to preserve your own power. But maybe that's not

1133
00:57:08,719 --> 00:57:14,200
Speaker 1: what's right for the whole organizations. Regrets for John. Let's

1134
00:57:14,200 --> 00:57:17,120
Speaker 1: move on the Detroit Lions four and eight. Uh, they've

1135
00:57:17,160 --> 00:57:21,120
Speaker 1: lost five of six. Uh. They traveled to Arizona to

1136
00:57:21,200 --> 00:57:24,720
Speaker 1: face the Cardinals. Got that win in Green Bay last

1137
00:57:24,760 --> 00:57:28,919
Speaker 1: week probably helps Steve Wilkes, Chris Wesling. It definitely helps

1138
00:57:28,920 --> 00:57:31,840
Speaker 1: Steve Wilkes. Who's who? Who probably is the leading one

1139
00:57:31,880 --> 00:57:34,720
Speaker 1: and done contender at head coach in the league. But

1140
00:57:34,760 --> 00:57:36,760
Speaker 1: these are two rookie head coaches that have struggled in

1141
00:57:36,800 --> 00:57:39,080
Speaker 1: their first years. Yeah, good luck guessing who's going to

1142
00:57:39,160 --> 00:57:43,160
Speaker 1: score in this game. The Lions loan touchdown last week

1143
00:57:43,160 --> 00:57:46,760
Speaker 1: came on a coverage bust where Levine to Loilo set

1144
00:57:46,840 --> 00:57:50,680
Speaker 1: up a tackle eligible touchdown to left tackle Taylor Decker.

1145
00:57:51,080 --> 00:57:54,240
Speaker 1: That was the Lions offense last week. The Cardinals offense

1146
00:57:54,360 --> 00:57:57,880
Speaker 1: was Josh Rosen with happy feet behind an offensive line

1147
00:57:57,880 --> 00:58:00,360
Speaker 1: that has five players on I R one release and

1148
00:58:00,400 --> 00:58:04,080
Speaker 1: another one not playing because he's injured. They're basically playing

1149
00:58:04,120 --> 00:58:06,480
Speaker 1: two rookies and three cast offs on the offensive line.

1150
00:58:07,160 --> 00:58:09,320
Speaker 1: These are two of the worst offenses in the NFL,

1151
00:58:09,560 --> 00:58:13,320
Speaker 1: and I imagine Dr Rainmaker might think it's gonna there's

1152
00:58:13,360 --> 00:58:17,640
Speaker 1: gonna be drought conditions in this game. I'm not even

1153
00:58:17,640 --> 00:58:20,600
Speaker 1: sure what that means in the context of no offense.

1154
00:58:20,760 --> 00:58:23,720
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, no rain coming. I thought I would. I

1155
00:58:23,760 --> 00:58:27,240
Speaker 1: would take the lines on the road. People come down.

1156
00:58:27,520 --> 00:58:32,400
Speaker 1: Dr Rainmaker, ever consider unders? I don't know, doctor, that

1157
00:58:32,520 --> 00:58:35,480
Speaker 1: is an aspect of what you're what you're all involved

1158
00:58:35,480 --> 00:58:38,280
Speaker 1: in here, your wagering, endless wagering. Mark. You sound like

1159
00:58:38,280 --> 00:58:40,720
Speaker 1: you had a final thought on this game. Well, I

1160
00:58:40,720 --> 00:58:42,600
Speaker 1: couldn't agree more with the West that I thought the

1161
00:58:42,640 --> 00:58:45,560
Speaker 1: Lions defense gave the Rams trouble and Jared Goff trouble

1162
00:58:45,600 --> 00:58:47,240
Speaker 1: early on, but they couldn't get out of their own way.

1163
00:58:47,240 --> 00:58:50,120
Speaker 1: They were two for eleven on third down. Awful, awful

1164
00:58:50,160 --> 00:58:52,680
Speaker 1: watch job a third down by the Lions last week?

1165
00:58:53,080 --> 00:58:58,160
Speaker 1: All right, let's uh, but no, it's it's a fact.

1166
00:58:58,360 --> 00:59:01,400
Speaker 1: It's good to get that final point in um before

1167
00:59:01,560 --> 00:59:03,680
Speaker 1: we struggling over the last couple of semes before we

1168
00:59:03,760 --> 00:59:05,760
Speaker 1: hit the home stretch of today's show, I did want

1169
00:59:05,760 --> 00:59:08,160
Speaker 1: to do a little housekeeping on the show. It sometimes

1170
00:59:08,160 --> 00:59:10,480
Speaker 1: the Thursday show, it's tough, and then really the schedule

1171
00:59:10,520 --> 00:59:13,040
Speaker 1: of this podcast is tough because we don't get time

1172
00:59:13,080 --> 00:59:15,400
Speaker 1: to take care of some things. And one of the

1173
00:59:15,440 --> 00:59:16,880
Speaker 1: things that we need to take care of, because I

1174
00:59:16,880 --> 00:59:19,480
Speaker 1: think it's only fair he has reached out to Davially

1175
00:59:20,040 --> 00:59:24,520
Speaker 1: because he came on this podcast multiple times in fact,

1176
00:59:24,560 --> 00:59:28,600
Speaker 1: and pitched himself as the best man. And on Wednesday's show,

1177
00:59:28,640 --> 00:59:33,040
Speaker 1: not only did he not Um was not Enum among

1178
00:59:33,120 --> 00:59:38,280
Speaker 1: the people named as groomsman, as is the case for myself,

1179
00:59:39,360 --> 00:59:42,880
Speaker 1: Greg and Mark, we also learned the best man has

1180
00:59:42,920 --> 00:59:45,120
Speaker 1: been selected. I don't know if that's public, but I

1181
00:59:45,120 --> 00:59:48,160
Speaker 1: can tell you that it's not Davially. Davially not in

1182
00:59:48,200 --> 00:59:51,280
Speaker 1: the wedding party, So we should speak with him on

1183
00:59:51,280 --> 00:59:53,480
Speaker 1: that subject. Is that all right with us? I think

1184
00:59:53,520 --> 00:59:56,280
Speaker 1: he deserves the forum at the very least. Let's let's

1185
00:59:56,280 --> 00:59:59,240
Speaker 1: style him up. Erica. I got a call down to

1186
00:59:59,280 --> 01:00:19,320
Speaker 1: the news NFL David, Hey, how's it going. Uh? Um,

1187
01:00:19,320 --> 01:00:22,320
Speaker 1: it's going fine. Actually, Um, I know what this is about,

1188
01:00:22,360 --> 01:00:27,160
Speaker 1: and I have a speech prepared UM, so, if you

1189
01:00:27,160 --> 01:00:28,840
Speaker 1: don't mind, I'd like just to get my statements out

1190
01:00:28,840 --> 01:00:31,400
Speaker 1: of the way first and setting this up, I said,

1191
01:00:31,440 --> 01:00:33,520
Speaker 1: it's only fair that you do get this forum because

1192
01:00:33,520 --> 01:00:38,800
Speaker 1: obviously this is a crushing personal setback. Go ahead the latest.

1193
01:00:39,720 --> 01:00:43,280
Speaker 1: Earlier today, I congratulated Lakisha and West and offered to

1194
01:00:43,320 --> 01:00:45,560
Speaker 1: work with them on behalf of our country. I hope

1195
01:00:45,600 --> 01:00:47,600
Speaker 1: that was his best man will be successful best man

1196
01:00:47,640 --> 01:00:50,120
Speaker 1: for all Americans. This is not the outcome I wanted

1197
01:00:50,400 --> 01:00:52,200
Speaker 1: or we worked so hard for, and I'm sorry we

1198
01:00:52,240 --> 01:00:54,640
Speaker 1: did not win this competition for the values we share

1199
01:00:54,640 --> 01:00:56,480
Speaker 1: and the vision we hold for West and Lakisha's wedding.

1200
01:00:58,240 --> 01:01:00,160
Speaker 1: I know how disappointed you feel because I've of the

1201
01:01:00,240 --> 01:01:02,520
Speaker 1: two and to do maybe five other people on Twitter

1202
01:01:02,640 --> 01:01:04,960
Speaker 1: who invested their hopes and dreams in this effort. This

1203
01:01:05,000 --> 01:01:06,680
Speaker 1: is painful and it will be for a long time,

1204
01:01:07,040 --> 01:01:09,440
Speaker 1: but I want you to remember this. My campaign was

1205
01:01:09,480 --> 01:01:11,480
Speaker 1: never about one person or even one wedding. It was

1206
01:01:11,480 --> 01:01:13,760
Speaker 1: about the country we love and sparkling rose for any

1207
01:01:13,760 --> 01:01:17,720
Speaker 1: in all occasions. A famous person once said, it sucks

1208
01:01:17,720 --> 01:01:19,120
Speaker 1: not to be What's his best Man, but it was

1209
01:01:19,160 --> 01:01:21,120
Speaker 1: an honor to be considered, even if it only has

1210
01:01:21,120 --> 01:01:23,360
Speaker 1: a bit for a podcast and then that quote that

1211
01:01:23,360 --> 01:01:26,040
Speaker 1: gives me solids right now. May God bless you and

1212
01:01:26,080 --> 01:01:28,600
Speaker 1: may God bless the Around the NFL podcast. God, I

1213
01:01:28,640 --> 01:01:31,400
Speaker 1: wish we had a leader like you, Dave, that was

1214
01:01:32,440 --> 01:01:34,800
Speaker 1: sitting in the big chair. That was sort of like

1215
01:01:34,840 --> 01:01:40,680
Speaker 1: Bobby Kennedy esque performance by David Eally, like Bobby Kennedy,

1216
01:01:40,760 --> 01:01:44,960
Speaker 1: like at the end of a long night. My takeaway

1217
01:01:44,960 --> 01:01:48,800
Speaker 1: from this is I've seen Dave leadership up close and personal.

1218
01:01:48,920 --> 01:01:51,520
Speaker 1: It's something to behold. And for that reason, I am

1219
01:01:51,520 --> 01:01:53,680
Speaker 1: not surprised that he had four people along with him

1220
01:01:53,680 --> 01:01:56,800
Speaker 1: on Twitter for this, for this venture, I'm impressed that

1221
01:01:56,880 --> 01:01:59,800
Speaker 1: you've got four people. The Dave really hive runs deeper. Well.

1222
01:01:59,840 --> 01:02:03,280
Speaker 1: I I would consider myself maybe a sixth in this,

1223
01:02:04,160 --> 01:02:06,680
Speaker 1: uh not to you know, make probably there, okay, a

1224
01:02:06,720 --> 01:02:09,960
Speaker 1: seventh with you, with you, Dan and Mark, because I

1225
01:02:10,000 --> 01:02:11,880
Speaker 1: think people forgot early on. There was a lot of

1226
01:02:11,880 --> 01:02:14,600
Speaker 1: best man talk, but I took um. I got involved

1227
01:02:14,600 --> 01:02:18,160
Speaker 1: in another conversation. I was taking plus three fifty. He

1228
01:02:18,200 --> 01:02:22,040
Speaker 1: doesn't even get invited, And I mean, are we do

1229
01:02:22,080 --> 01:02:24,200
Speaker 1: we have a do we have a resolution on that?

1230
01:02:24,600 --> 01:02:27,160
Speaker 1: We don't have a resolution. I'm not good. I'm not

1231
01:02:27,200 --> 01:02:29,880
Speaker 1: done with the save debates. Those odds are dropping. Really,

1232
01:02:29,960 --> 01:02:34,240
Speaker 1: I would try to get there as someone's date. Well that,

1233
01:02:34,320 --> 01:02:36,240
Speaker 1: I mean that brings up another question because you just

1234
01:02:36,360 --> 01:02:38,640
Speaker 1: you look at at the Setbax for Dave. I mean

1235
01:02:39,040 --> 01:02:43,000
Speaker 1: you look at the college sweetheart and she left him behind,

1236
01:02:43,320 --> 01:02:47,160
Speaker 1: and then Cam Newton and the Panthers, the bed in

1237
01:02:47,200 --> 01:02:49,439
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl camp gives up in that game. They've

1238
01:02:49,480 --> 01:02:51,920
Speaker 1: never been the same, And then you just have to wonder,

1239
01:02:51,960 --> 01:02:55,480
Speaker 1: after this latest setback, at what point, what does Charlie

1240
01:02:55,520 --> 01:03:00,360
Speaker 1: Brown kick the football? Is that from? That? Is that phetorical?

1241
01:03:00,400 --> 01:03:07,280
Speaker 1: Are you asking me no? But it's like if your

1242
01:03:07,280 --> 01:03:11,120
Speaker 1: ex girlfriend that dumped you, really, if she invited you

1243
01:03:11,200 --> 01:03:13,560
Speaker 1: to her wedding, would you go? I kind of feel

1244
01:03:13,560 --> 01:03:15,440
Speaker 1: like you would say no and wouldn't be the same

1245
01:03:15,480 --> 01:03:17,160
Speaker 1: way with West wanted would be too hard to see

1246
01:03:17,240 --> 01:03:19,480
Speaker 1: him up there at the altar um. I mean that

1247
01:03:19,520 --> 01:03:24,960
Speaker 1: think slightly different circumstances. All right, it would, um, she

1248
01:03:25,040 --> 01:03:28,080
Speaker 1: really hurt you, that's true. I mean, all right, Dave,

1249
01:03:28,120 --> 01:03:30,080
Speaker 1: you gotta wrap this up. The pain with this one

1250
01:03:30,440 --> 01:03:32,960
Speaker 1: is more fresh though. Yeah, it's it's like ripping off

1251
01:03:32,960 --> 01:03:35,400
Speaker 1: a band aid. It does bear the whiff of what

1252
01:03:35,520 --> 01:03:38,840
Speaker 1: happened with you and her though I guess so, I

1253
01:03:38,840 --> 01:03:42,040
Speaker 1: mean it. You are the expert there. All right. We

1254
01:03:42,160 --> 01:03:44,200
Speaker 1: love you, Dave hanging there and hopefully you do end

1306
01:06:34,320 --> 01:06:37,480
Speaker 1: lots unpacking our ads today. That's a lot of promises there,

1307
01:06:37,520 --> 01:06:39,840
Speaker 1: a lot of promises, a lot of promise for the

1308
01:06:39,920 --> 01:06:44,760
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys seven and five, first place in the NFC East,

1309
01:06:44,760 --> 01:06:48,959
Speaker 1: winners of four in a row. They host the Philadelphia

1310
01:06:49,040 --> 01:06:51,160
Speaker 1: Eagles in a late game. This feels like a game,

1311
01:06:51,200 --> 01:06:53,200
Speaker 1: but you know they're gonna send Joe in Troy. There

1312
01:06:53,480 --> 01:06:55,560
Speaker 1: feels like, I don't know, you're the expert, Greg, you

1313
01:06:55,600 --> 01:06:58,280
Speaker 1: know this stuff. But it feels like, let's get Troy

1314
01:06:58,320 --> 01:07:01,120
Speaker 1: in big days like five, it's away from here. Yeah,

1315
01:07:01,160 --> 01:07:03,080
Speaker 1: and Troy I can give his like, you know, nice

1316
01:07:03,120 --> 01:07:07,040
Speaker 1: spin on the NFL from his old haunting grounds. Yeah.

1317
01:07:07,080 --> 01:07:10,600
Speaker 1: And the Cowboys are stopping the most highly rated you know,

1318
01:07:10,600 --> 01:07:12,920
Speaker 1: they're involved in like nine of the most highly rated

1319
01:07:13,040 --> 01:07:15,800
Speaker 1: ten games of the year. Just makes sense anyway, Greg,

1320
01:07:16,520 --> 01:07:20,360
Speaker 1: Cowboys gunning for five straight. Uh, you think the Eagles

1321
01:07:20,400 --> 01:07:23,840
Speaker 1: are gonna shake up the NFC East once more? I don't.

1322
01:07:24,840 --> 01:07:29,360
Speaker 1: I think the Cowboys are a better team. I don't

1323
01:07:29,800 --> 01:07:32,120
Speaker 1: count the Eagles out just because of the style that

1324
01:07:32,160 --> 01:07:36,000
Speaker 1: the Cowboys play at invites close games. I don't think

1325
01:07:36,000 --> 01:07:39,960
Speaker 1: their offense has made massive strides over the last month,

1326
01:07:40,080 --> 01:07:42,680
Speaker 1: but their defense has. I mean, and there was nothing.

1327
01:07:43,240 --> 01:07:44,960
Speaker 1: I was so amazed by that performance. I had to

1328
01:07:45,000 --> 01:07:46,760
Speaker 1: go back and watch it, and they're like, there's nothing

1329
01:07:46,800 --> 01:07:50,520
Speaker 1: magical about it. This is Rod Marinelli's vision come to life,

1330
01:07:50,560 --> 01:07:53,400
Speaker 1: which is not a fancy It's not an offense where

1331
01:07:53,400 --> 01:07:56,760
Speaker 1: you're gonna beat the opponent with scheme, you're gonna do

1332
01:07:56,840 --> 01:07:59,480
Speaker 1: it with fundamentals, you're gonna do it with filling gaps

1333
01:07:59,520 --> 01:08:03,200
Speaker 1: with clean with all eleven guys like flying to the ball.

1334
01:08:03,280 --> 01:08:05,960
Speaker 1: It wasn't just late in vander Esh although there was

1335
01:08:06,000 --> 01:08:07,880
Speaker 1: one play that was amazing where it was a total

1336
01:08:07,960 --> 01:08:10,000
Speaker 1: busted coverage. He knew it before the snapp He was

1337
01:08:10,000 --> 01:08:12,680
Speaker 1: trying to tell his his teammates. No one knew, and

1338
01:08:12,760 --> 01:08:14,360
Speaker 1: so he just filled the gap on the other side

1339
01:08:14,360 --> 01:08:16,320
Speaker 1: of the field by himself. I mean, Alvin Kamarra could

1340
01:08:16,320 --> 01:08:18,640
Speaker 1: not get to the outside against this guy. He's incredible.

1341
01:08:19,120 --> 01:08:20,960
Speaker 1: But it was all eleven guys. Noah Brown had a

1342
01:08:20,960 --> 01:08:22,960
Speaker 1: great game, Byron Jones had a great game. De Marcus

1343
01:08:23,080 --> 01:08:26,599
Speaker 1: Lawrence eight, Ryan ramcheck for lunch. That's a potential All

1344
01:08:26,640 --> 01:08:28,600
Speaker 1: Pro what he wasn't picking on the other side of

1345
01:08:28,800 --> 01:08:32,320
Speaker 1: uh tackle. So it's everyone playing well. And I just

1346
01:08:32,400 --> 01:08:35,480
Speaker 1: can't believe that they're gonna give up more than sixteen

1347
01:08:35,520 --> 01:08:38,479
Speaker 1: points to this lackluster Eagles offense, and I feel like

1348
01:08:38,520 --> 01:08:40,599
Speaker 1: the Cowboys will finally. How are you feeling about Rodner

1349
01:08:40,640 --> 01:08:45,320
Speaker 1: and ellis Assistant Coach of the Year Honoree. Well. I

1350
01:08:45,439 --> 01:08:48,160
Speaker 1: heard on the broadcast last week that Chris Richard is

1351
01:08:48,200 --> 01:08:51,920
Speaker 1: the one who actually calls the defensive plays on the

1352
01:08:52,000 --> 01:08:56,679
Speaker 1: broadcast Erica's podcast, on the actual NFL broadcast of the game,

1353
01:08:56,720 --> 01:09:00,000
Speaker 1: he is getting eve getting some uh some love. Absolutely,

1354
01:09:00,040 --> 01:09:01,840
Speaker 1: so that that's a good Well, So, I think the

1355
01:09:01,880 --> 01:09:04,439
Speaker 1: answer is Rod Marinellius not even in the running, not

1356
01:09:04,560 --> 01:09:08,400
Speaker 1: even close. But here's the thing. You've watched this defense

1357
01:09:08,439 --> 01:09:10,320
Speaker 1: for seven years. They kind of play the same way

1358
01:09:10,400 --> 01:09:12,519
Speaker 1: every year, and this is what he's counting on your

1359
01:09:12,560 --> 01:09:15,400
Speaker 1: county on good like great players to kind of play free.

1360
01:09:15,680 --> 01:09:17,400
Speaker 1: And it doesn't look like Sean Lee is gonna be

1361
01:09:17,439 --> 01:09:19,880
Speaker 1: back for this game, but I don't think they need him. Well,

1362
01:09:19,920 --> 01:09:22,599
Speaker 1: I think the Eagles offense there's some real improvement there

1363
01:09:22,640 --> 01:09:25,040
Speaker 1: with Josh Adams and Golden Tape had his best game

1364
01:09:25,080 --> 01:09:28,280
Speaker 1: by far. Yep. That's why I don't know about Camu

1365
01:09:28,320 --> 01:09:32,200
Speaker 1: Grugier's Hills defense. And I don't know who this guy

1366
01:09:32,320 --> 01:09:34,719
Speaker 1: is to be calling Zekiel Elliott and de Marcus Lawrence

1367
01:09:34,720 --> 01:09:39,040
Speaker 1: and Jalen Smith chokers. Well, you know what, Camu Grugier Hill,

1368
01:09:39,120 --> 01:09:43,200
Speaker 1: I'm blocking it up. Cowboys win. Take that nice lock up.

1369
01:09:43,240 --> 01:09:45,320
Speaker 1: I was thinking about the Cowboys as well, And now

1370
01:09:45,360 --> 01:09:47,080
Speaker 1: I feel even better about it, because then I can't

1371
01:09:47,080 --> 01:09:48,479
Speaker 1: make up a game. I gotta make up a game

1372
01:09:48,560 --> 01:09:50,000
Speaker 1: on you. I looked at this and I was like,

1373
01:09:50,040 --> 01:09:52,840
Speaker 1: I was thinking, all three guys might lock this game up.

1374
01:09:52,960 --> 01:09:55,000
Speaker 1: It feels Mark was saying he likes the Eagles in

1375
01:09:55,320 --> 01:09:58,000
Speaker 1: I almost locked the Eagles, not because I think they're better.

1376
01:09:58,040 --> 01:09:59,920
Speaker 1: I just think that this is how to see is

1377
01:10:00,040 --> 01:10:03,240
Speaker 1: and works out. Sometimes there's no reason the Eagles couldn't

1378
01:10:03,520 --> 01:10:06,400
Speaker 1: win like a seventeen to sixteen type game. They haven't

1379
01:10:06,400 --> 01:10:10,080
Speaker 1: put together the complete performance yet. And I guess as

1380
01:10:10,120 --> 01:10:12,439
Speaker 1: someone and maybe I'm almost acting like a fan here

1381
01:10:12,479 --> 01:10:14,960
Speaker 1: because I want the Eagles to be good, and I've

1382
01:10:14,960 --> 01:10:18,000
Speaker 1: been so I've been frustrated watching it week after waiting

1383
01:10:18,040 --> 01:10:20,439
Speaker 1: for that complete perform, even from the offense last week.

1384
01:10:20,560 --> 01:10:22,400
Speaker 1: That was a little disappointing. What that the weekends for.

1385
01:10:22,880 --> 01:10:24,360
Speaker 1: I know they came out on the second half, but

1386
01:10:24,760 --> 01:10:26,800
Speaker 1: I have not seen the complete game during the two games.

1387
01:10:26,800 --> 01:10:28,640
Speaker 1: But if you if you did want to make the

1388
01:10:28,720 --> 01:10:31,240
Speaker 1: argument for them, you know the weakness is absolutely in

1389
01:10:31,240 --> 01:10:34,000
Speaker 1: the secondary, which is still really banged up, really in

1390
01:10:34,040 --> 01:10:37,240
Speaker 1: the back seven, and and do the Cowboys have the mindset,

1391
01:10:37,280 --> 01:10:39,479
Speaker 1: in the in the talent to take advantage of that. Well,

1392
01:10:39,520 --> 01:10:41,960
Speaker 1: sometimes the secondary affects the run game. When you blow

1393
01:10:42,000 --> 01:10:45,599
Speaker 1: assignments and an Adrian Peterson goes for ninety yards, this

1394
01:10:45,600 --> 01:10:48,320
Speaker 1: would be an epic lock up. I'm very tempted, but

1395
01:10:48,360 --> 01:10:50,000
Speaker 1: I think that there will be an epic lock up

1396
01:10:50,479 --> 01:11:01,519
Speaker 1: down the line. Very exciting East podcast there. Let's move

1397
01:11:01,560 --> 01:11:05,439
Speaker 1: on to Pittsburgh Steelers seven four and one, uh licking

1398
01:11:05,479 --> 01:11:08,719
Speaker 1: their wounds a little bit, uh after two straight losses,

1399
01:11:08,760 --> 01:11:12,680
Speaker 1: including that uh meltdown, unprecedented meltdown in the history of

1400
01:11:12,720 --> 01:11:15,120
Speaker 1: that team in the second half. I think they had

1401
01:11:15,160 --> 01:11:19,519
Speaker 1: won straight games when they were up by the amount

1402
01:11:19,520 --> 01:11:22,000
Speaker 1: of points they were against the Chargers sixteen and then

1403
01:11:22,120 --> 01:11:24,240
Speaker 1: and the Chargers came back and got him. Well, here's

1404
01:11:24,240 --> 01:11:27,439
Speaker 1: a nice recipe to get healthy. Go well, you gotta

1405
01:11:27,439 --> 01:11:29,680
Speaker 1: fly across the country and Pittsburgh doesn't travel. Well. It's

1406
01:11:29,680 --> 01:11:32,479
Speaker 1: one of those weird stats. But still Mark, it's the

1407
01:11:32,560 --> 01:11:37,320
Speaker 1: Raiders and they stink. Oh, I mean this, there would

1408
01:11:37,320 --> 01:11:39,439
Speaker 1: be there would be no excuse for Pittsburgh to lose

1409
01:11:39,439 --> 01:11:43,280
Speaker 1: this con that's not an excuse. This is a Raiders

1410
01:11:43,360 --> 01:11:46,840
Speaker 1: defense that's given up forty two, forty and thirty four

1411
01:11:46,920 --> 01:11:50,080
Speaker 1: points twice over the past five or six weeks. Derek

1412
01:11:50,080 --> 01:11:52,679
Speaker 1: Carr is getting killed. They put they did some okay

1413
01:11:52,720 --> 01:11:54,960
Speaker 1: stuff against the Chiefs, but they also can't get out

1414
01:11:54,960 --> 01:11:56,679
Speaker 1: of their own way. We talked about the three fumbles

1415
01:11:56,680 --> 01:11:59,160
Speaker 1: by three different running backs, which was a killer in

1416
01:11:59,160 --> 01:12:01,600
Speaker 1: that game. I still never felt for any minute that

1417
01:12:01,600 --> 01:12:03,840
Speaker 1: they were gonna have any chance to be in Kansas City.

1418
01:12:04,200 --> 01:12:07,360
Speaker 1: So the Steelers get right in a messy, sexy blood

1419
01:12:07,360 --> 01:12:11,360
Speaker 1: bath in Oakland. You love those blowouts. That was, I

1420
01:12:11,520 --> 01:12:14,160
Speaker 1: like a nice, gigantic blow out here, like a nice

1421
01:12:14,400 --> 01:12:15,760
Speaker 1: I don't know if that you're gonna get that, but

1422
01:12:15,880 --> 01:12:18,720
Speaker 1: something like thirty five to three. That was one of

1423
01:12:18,760 --> 01:12:22,800
Speaker 1: my favorite, like Nick Mullins reprisals, favorite showtime, you know,

1424
01:12:22,800 --> 01:12:26,840
Speaker 1: Originals back in the early nineties. Sexy, messy blood bath.

1425
01:12:27,800 --> 01:12:30,320
Speaker 1: Bring it on. Any other thoughts about this game? Gentleman

1426
01:12:30,400 --> 01:12:33,599
Speaker 1: Jalen Samuels, who had more catches than carries in college,

1427
01:12:33,640 --> 01:12:36,200
Speaker 1: is expected to start at running back with Stephen Ridley

1428
01:12:36,200 --> 01:12:39,200
Speaker 1: in the mix. Evan Silva from Rhoda World compared Jalen

1429
01:12:39,280 --> 01:12:42,719
Speaker 1: Samuels to Marcel Reese, the former Raiders like fullback slash

1430
01:12:42,840 --> 01:12:46,040
Speaker 1: h back. Mark Davis once called the one player that

1431
01:12:46,040 --> 01:12:48,680
Speaker 1: they were building around the franchise building blow. I'm not

1432
01:12:48,720 --> 01:12:52,200
Speaker 1: worried about no, not at all. I'm not worried about

1433
01:12:52,200 --> 01:12:54,240
Speaker 1: the Steelers at all. They're still really good up front

1434
01:12:54,240 --> 01:12:55,960
Speaker 1: and ball sides. Both of the last two games have

1435
01:12:56,000 --> 01:12:59,000
Speaker 1: been a little flukey in what's happened. I will say

1436
01:12:59,040 --> 01:13:02,000
Speaker 1: that Doug Mark and even Jalen Reshard to It's like

1437
01:13:02,040 --> 01:13:04,760
Speaker 1: my guilty pleasure right now is watching old Dougie. I've

1438
01:13:04,800 --> 01:13:08,040
Speaker 1: always liked, not kind of well, I'm I don't know,

1439
01:13:08,080 --> 01:13:10,320
Speaker 1: I'm always biased. I like his style and everything. He's

1440
01:13:10,400 --> 01:13:12,920
Speaker 1: run pretty well last couple of weeks Dougie Martin and

1441
01:13:13,000 --> 01:13:15,120
Speaker 1: John Gorden says he wants him back next year. Have

1442
01:13:15,120 --> 01:13:18,519
Speaker 1: our fetishes enjoy and the two losses have killed the

1443
01:13:18,560 --> 01:13:21,040
Speaker 1: Steelers who are trying to get um a buy in

1444
01:13:21,080 --> 01:13:23,320
Speaker 1: a home game. They gotta win out to get to

1445
01:13:23,360 --> 01:13:25,320
Speaker 1: eleven and four and get help, and they can't help

1446
01:13:25,320 --> 01:13:27,320
Speaker 1: themselves a little bit if they could beat the Patriots.

1447
01:13:28,080 --> 01:13:30,200
Speaker 1: But even even if they went out eleven and four

1448
01:13:30,240 --> 01:13:32,160
Speaker 1: and eleven four and one might not be good enough.

1449
01:13:32,200 --> 01:13:35,160
Speaker 1: With the Chiefs, the Chargers and the Pats all and

1450
01:13:35,320 --> 01:13:38,599
Speaker 1: the Texans. Yeah, and the Texans. Excuse me, So we'll

1451
01:13:38,600 --> 01:13:40,640
Speaker 1: see how that plays out. But they should get to

1452
01:13:40,720 --> 01:13:43,439
Speaker 1: eight four and one. Let's move on the Rams. They've

1453
01:13:43,479 --> 01:13:46,160
Speaker 1: lost just once this season. They're eleven and one. Uh

1454
01:13:46,160 --> 01:13:49,200
Speaker 1: and this, gentleman, oh, this is good. This is Sunday

1455
01:13:49,280 --> 01:13:53,520
Speaker 1: Night football, Chris Westling. This is the two thousand seventeen

1456
01:13:54,160 --> 01:13:57,719
Speaker 1: team of a t L against the two thousand eighteen teams.

1457
01:14:00,200 --> 01:14:03,320
Speaker 1: Time of it all mits Trabinsky and not a moment

1458
01:14:03,400 --> 01:14:05,479
Speaker 1: too soon. Was is gonna be back on the field

1459
01:14:05,560 --> 01:14:08,720
Speaker 1: for the Bears. Oh you said that right, because they

1460
01:14:08,760 --> 01:14:11,160
Speaker 1: need him. You had to throw out last week's game

1461
01:14:11,160 --> 01:14:14,879
Speaker 1: for evaluation purposes. Chase Daniel's offense looked like Matt Castle.

1462
01:14:15,439 --> 01:14:17,680
Speaker 1: The defense had had no respect for anything going on

1463
01:14:17,760 --> 01:14:20,559
Speaker 1: beyond ten yards or whatsoever. He can't really do much

1464
01:14:20,600 --> 01:14:23,439
Speaker 1: other than the wheel route to Tariko and uh. You

1465
01:14:23,479 --> 01:14:25,719
Speaker 1: get Trabinsky back and that opens up the whole field.

1466
01:14:25,800 --> 01:14:28,360
Speaker 1: He is one of the most aggressive downfield throwers this year.

1467
01:14:28,800 --> 01:14:31,479
Speaker 1: His running is a lot better than Chase Daniel. This

1468
01:14:31,600 --> 01:14:33,960
Speaker 1: is a good matchup. And Jared Goff, coming off his

1469
01:14:33,960 --> 01:14:37,320
Speaker 1: worst game of the season, now facing an even better defense.

1470
01:14:37,760 --> 01:14:41,479
Speaker 1: Is there any concern about golf and the Rams offense?

1471
01:14:41,880 --> 01:14:47,479
Speaker 1: That was one of the more mystifying performances. Uh, you

1472
01:14:47,520 --> 01:14:49,080
Speaker 1: know once I once I got a chance to see

1473
01:14:49,120 --> 01:14:51,400
Speaker 1: it ran on Sunday night, and I can and I

1474
01:14:51,520 --> 01:14:54,000
Speaker 1: and I think it probably understand he wasn't taken too

1475
01:14:54,000 --> 01:14:56,320
Speaker 1: seriously because the final score two. But they really did

1476
01:14:56,320 --> 01:14:58,080
Speaker 1: get to golf in the first half. Then that that

1477
01:14:58,560 --> 01:15:01,479
Speaker 1: the wheels fell off the lines defense in the fourth quarter. There.

1478
01:15:01,840 --> 01:15:05,120
Speaker 1: H Well, it's not like this is a theme for

1479
01:15:05,160 --> 01:15:06,960
Speaker 1: the last few games or something. It's just a one

1480
01:15:07,000 --> 01:15:09,479
Speaker 1: game thing. So I know, until I see it happened

1481
01:15:09,479 --> 01:15:11,320
Speaker 1: more than once. It was just interesting kind of coming

1482
01:15:11,320 --> 01:15:13,960
Speaker 1: off of Bye. I thought they'd play well. They also didn't.

1483
01:15:14,000 --> 01:15:17,760
Speaker 1: Who knows. They've tried different strategies in terms of not

1484
01:15:17,840 --> 01:15:20,840
Speaker 1: practicing practically at all for two straight weeks. Maybe that

1485
01:15:21,040 --> 01:15:25,000
Speaker 1: hurt them. Who knows, that is an interesting strategy. I mean, yeah,

1486
01:15:25,040 --> 01:15:27,080
Speaker 1: they didn't. They didn't practice during the whole by and

1487
01:15:27,080 --> 01:15:29,160
Speaker 1: then leading up to the Lions game nearly as much

1488
01:15:29,200 --> 01:15:31,840
Speaker 1: as like most film. But yeah, they were. They were

1489
01:15:31,960 --> 01:15:34,560
Speaker 1: meeting and doing all that stuff. But they've had a

1490
01:15:34,640 --> 01:15:36,760
Speaker 1: lot of different ideas and for the most part. You

1491
01:15:36,760 --> 01:15:38,360
Speaker 1: know it's worked, but this is I mean, this is

1492
01:15:38,400 --> 01:15:40,400
Speaker 1: as good in eleven on eleven match because you can

1493
01:15:40,439 --> 01:15:43,600
Speaker 1: have because the Rams barely substitute the Bears barely substitute.

1494
01:15:43,880 --> 01:15:46,880
Speaker 1: They have guys who just know what they're doing and

1495
01:15:46,920 --> 01:15:50,080
Speaker 1: play the Bears defense and the Rams offense about as

1496
01:15:50,120 --> 01:15:53,280
Speaker 1: well cohesively as a group as any and they're gonna

1497
01:15:53,320 --> 01:15:55,360
Speaker 1: be going up against each other. We gotta start this

1498
01:15:55,360 --> 01:15:58,639
Speaker 1: podcast early so we can watch this thing. I think

1499
01:15:58,680 --> 01:16:01,800
Speaker 1: that the idea that's Dante Faller trade is starting to

1500
01:16:01,800 --> 01:16:03,240
Speaker 1: look good for the Rams. I thought he had the

1501
01:16:03,280 --> 01:16:06,679
Speaker 1: best game of his career last week. I sacked two stuffs,

1502
01:16:06,720 --> 01:16:09,160
Speaker 1: two tackles for loss. I mean, this guy was all

1503
01:16:09,200 --> 01:16:11,280
Speaker 1: over the line of scrimmage. Like you need the Rams

1504
01:16:11,320 --> 01:16:13,320
Speaker 1: to play and their their offensive line has been really

1505
01:16:13,320 --> 01:16:15,720
Speaker 1: great this year. The game of the year, and then

1506
01:16:15,880 --> 01:16:18,840
Speaker 1: they'll take care of business and the other thoughts on

1507
01:16:18,960 --> 01:16:25,320
Speaker 1: this match. Let's pick this game, Mark Rams, you know,

1508
01:16:25,600 --> 01:16:29,040
Speaker 1: nail biter. I think like a twenty five to twenty

1509
01:16:29,120 --> 01:16:33,519
Speaker 1: two type game. Yeah, I hate picking against the team

1510
01:16:33,560 --> 01:16:35,880
Speaker 1: of at L, but I have picked the Rams every

1511
01:16:35,920 --> 01:16:37,680
Speaker 1: time I've been asked to pick a Rams game. This year,

1512
01:16:37,720 --> 01:16:39,920
Speaker 1: and I'm like, continue that. I just trust their coaching staff.

1513
01:16:39,920 --> 01:16:43,120
Speaker 1: You're one. Yeah, I think I think it's gonna be

1514
01:16:43,120 --> 01:16:44,760
Speaker 1: a close game. I think we're all on the same

1515
01:16:44,760 --> 01:16:47,280
Speaker 1: page on this, and I think the Rams are gonna

1516
01:16:47,520 --> 01:16:53,639
Speaker 1: rip out Chicago's heart at the end. Uh, let's call. Yeah,

1517
01:16:53,720 --> 01:16:57,160
Speaker 1: like I was, I wasn't even I wasn't even sure

1518
01:16:57,320 --> 01:17:00,439
Speaker 1: and listening to listening to you guys do it. It's

1519
01:17:00,439 --> 01:17:02,960
Speaker 1: tough that we don't actually believe in the team of eight. Oh,

1520
01:17:05,360 --> 01:17:06,800
Speaker 1: I believe in them as a team. I told you

1521
01:17:06,920 --> 01:17:09,840
Speaker 1: this is the best favorite there and I hate, I

1522
01:17:09,880 --> 01:17:11,560
Speaker 1: hate to do it, but I do think they're that

1523
01:17:11,960 --> 01:17:15,439
Speaker 1: a super Bowl team in Los Angeles. And even though

1524
01:17:15,680 --> 01:17:17,800
Speaker 1: like my uncle Dr IRV Miller is going to be there,

1525
01:17:17,840 --> 01:17:20,240
Speaker 1: you know, rooting on the Bears, there's another doctor in session.

1526
01:17:20,520 --> 01:17:26,280
Speaker 1: It's Dr Rainmakers going for the Ram. We gotta make

1527
01:17:26,320 --> 01:17:28,720
Speaker 1: an odd number. You got me thinking, who needs one

1528
01:17:28,760 --> 01:17:33,800
Speaker 1: and one? You gotta have one? All right? Yeah? I

1529
01:17:33,840 --> 01:17:36,800
Speaker 1: mean one would also suffice. That would be just trying

1530
01:17:36,840 --> 01:17:39,439
Speaker 1: to guarantee at least one win. So now I yelling

1531
01:17:39,479 --> 01:17:41,880
Speaker 1: it just be on the heat. I'm loving it. I

1532
01:17:41,920 --> 01:17:44,880
Speaker 1: feel good. It's like a long process. It's kind of

1533
01:17:45,880 --> 01:17:48,639
Speaker 1: problem if you're if you're gonna if you're gonna jump

1534
01:17:48,680 --> 01:17:52,799
Speaker 1: on board. It's eat enough about fourteen minutes of this episode,

1535
01:17:52,800 --> 01:17:55,040
Speaker 1: which is bloating its way towards like eighty nine minutes

1536
01:17:55,080 --> 01:17:58,040
Speaker 1: at this point. That's not far off, by the way.

1537
01:17:58,120 --> 01:18:01,519
Speaker 1: One of my favorite uh sages in this week's research

1538
01:18:01,640 --> 01:18:04,719
Speaker 1: notes that we get handed out internally is a section

1539
01:18:05,360 --> 01:18:10,720
Speaker 1: titled tarik on fleek? Nice Cohen, Who's uh to keep

1540
01:18:10,720 --> 01:18:12,960
Speaker 1: an eye on? Factually on fleet? Like? Yeah, when I

1541
01:18:13,000 --> 01:18:15,200
Speaker 1: think like, who is really on top of, you know,

1542
01:18:15,360 --> 01:18:18,120
Speaker 1: trends in terms of like being young and cool, it's

1543
01:18:18,120 --> 01:18:22,000
Speaker 1: our research department. Wait, didn't see that shot? Waited jump

1544
01:18:22,080 --> 01:18:28,280
Speaker 1: on fleek? Whoa time? Alright? Finally Monday night Football? Sorry research?

1545
01:18:29,400 --> 01:18:31,639
Speaker 1: You kid? You kid? Who you love? You know? Jeff

1546
01:18:31,680 --> 01:18:36,559
Speaker 1: Greenholtz listens to our show religiously, We love you most

1547
01:18:36,600 --> 01:18:38,839
Speaker 1: Office of Video will send it out from the NFL's account.

1548
01:18:38,840 --> 01:18:40,960
Speaker 1: See how this goes. Sorry, Jeff, Jeff did not come

1549
01:18:41,000 --> 01:18:42,479
Speaker 1: up with the on fleek line. I can tell you

1550
01:18:42,520 --> 01:18:44,920
Speaker 1: that that's probably but you know what I say. It's like,

1551
01:18:45,000 --> 01:18:46,920
Speaker 1: if you burn all your bridges, no one can touch

1552
01:18:46,960 --> 01:18:52,000
Speaker 1: you. You You also, can you either you know what did

1553
01:18:52,040 --> 01:18:54,080
Speaker 1: you say? Don't say that. I've heard that. I just

1554
01:18:54,160 --> 01:18:59,000
Speaker 1: made it up. I love it. It's alright. Finally, the

1555
01:18:59,120 --> 01:19:02,040
Speaker 1: Viking six by in one. Couldn't They just didn't step

1556
01:19:02,120 --> 01:19:04,080
Speaker 1: up to the plate against that. That's simple as that.

1557
01:19:04,080 --> 01:19:05,960
Speaker 1: That's how I break that down. That Sunday night game

1558
01:19:06,400 --> 01:19:08,720
Speaker 1: was a big stage for that Vikings team and they

1559
01:19:08,800 --> 01:19:11,760
Speaker 1: didn't get it done. They lose. Now they travel to

1560
01:19:11,840 --> 01:19:14,800
Speaker 1: Seattle and this is a tough ask. It's a tough

1561
01:19:14,840 --> 01:19:17,639
Speaker 1: ask Greg for the Vikings, who can enter the season

1562
01:19:17,960 --> 01:19:21,240
Speaker 1: with a lot a lot of optimism and the belief

1563
01:19:21,320 --> 01:19:23,360
Speaker 1: that they had the quarterback and they had the rest

1564
01:19:23,360 --> 01:19:25,160
Speaker 1: of the team to get over the hub. Well, if

1565
01:19:25,160 --> 01:19:27,479
Speaker 1: you don't win this game, you're a little bit of trouble.

1566
01:19:27,640 --> 01:19:30,599
Speaker 1: You are in. And for a team that had Super

1567
01:19:30,600 --> 01:19:32,400
Speaker 1: Bowl hopes, you have to kind of look in the

1568
01:19:32,439 --> 01:19:35,519
Speaker 1: mirror and really understand that you've made no progress throughout

1569
01:19:35,520 --> 01:19:37,760
Speaker 1: the year. You've looked like a eight and eight type

1570
01:19:37,760 --> 01:19:40,160
Speaker 1: of team for the most part, and that it's not

1571
01:19:40,240 --> 01:19:43,080
Speaker 1: headed in the right direction. Because last week in New

1572
01:19:43,080 --> 01:19:46,799
Speaker 1: England they got out schemed. They turned Kirk Cousins into

1573
01:19:47,000 --> 01:19:50,959
Speaker 1: a check down master, and you're going up to Seattle

1574
01:19:51,000 --> 01:19:54,120
Speaker 1: at lea yeah, I mean the four or five yards

1575
01:19:54,360 --> 01:19:56,959
Speaker 1: and you're going up to Seattle. It's not a great defense.

1576
01:19:57,120 --> 01:19:59,200
Speaker 1: But I actually think they could have some trouble with

1577
01:19:59,240 --> 01:20:01,519
Speaker 1: the Seahawks off right now. The Seahawks offense, to me,

1578
01:20:01,760 --> 01:20:04,439
Speaker 1: is better than the Seahawks defense. So you can flip

1579
01:20:04,439 --> 01:20:06,960
Speaker 1: whatever you thought about this team coming into the year.

1580
01:20:07,000 --> 01:20:09,719
Speaker 1: They're an efficient team on offense that can make big plays.

1581
01:20:10,120 --> 01:20:12,720
Speaker 1: That's just got a defense that's okay. They really miss

1582
01:20:12,840 --> 01:20:15,840
Speaker 1: kJ right. They will get Michael Kendricks back this week,

1583
01:20:16,120 --> 01:20:20,880
Speaker 1: back from insider trading. That's never j thirty years. Someone's

1584
01:20:20,880 --> 01:20:23,760
Speaker 1: got the story. Did he go to jail and he's

1585
01:20:23,800 --> 01:20:27,479
Speaker 1: out or with the jail he got he got a

1586
01:20:27,479 --> 01:20:32,439
Speaker 1: prison sentence, like a sturdy prison, just suspension. I think

1587
01:20:32,439 --> 01:20:36,240
Speaker 1: it got suspended suspension. I mean I hope that's the case.

1588
01:20:36,280 --> 01:20:38,240
Speaker 1: I think that it takes a little weird when these

1589
01:20:38,280 --> 01:20:40,840
Speaker 1: guys get buried for the insider trading. I get that

1590
01:20:40,920 --> 01:20:43,639
Speaker 1: it it's messing with the financial system of our country

1591
01:20:43,680 --> 01:20:46,040
Speaker 1: and it's very tricky business. But it's like a guy

1592
01:20:46,120 --> 01:20:48,080
Speaker 1: cheats on his taxes and then he gets sent to

1593
01:20:48,120 --> 01:20:50,479
Speaker 1: the pokey for like fourteen years and it's like, let's

1594
01:20:50,479 --> 01:20:53,080
Speaker 1: calm down a little bit, come back to US justice system.

1595
01:20:53,200 --> 01:20:55,160
Speaker 1: I like the idea that you think that the justice

1596
01:20:55,160 --> 01:20:58,040
Speaker 1: system wrapped this case up in like ten days before

1597
01:20:58,080 --> 01:21:00,760
Speaker 1: he was It's gonna take like month now he was.

1598
01:21:01,640 --> 01:21:03,599
Speaker 1: Now he was guilty though, I mean that was why

1599
01:21:03,640 --> 01:21:07,400
Speaker 1: they suspended him. He pled guilty and I were not

1600
01:21:07,479 --> 01:21:09,400
Speaker 1: aware of the details. I mean, yeah, we are waiting

1601
01:21:09,439 --> 01:21:12,200
Speaker 1: into territory. You can find out. But clearly he's not

1602
01:21:12,240 --> 01:21:14,360
Speaker 1: in jail. He's gotta be on the field and they

1603
01:21:14,360 --> 01:21:16,759
Speaker 1: need him because they got a little too much often

1604
01:21:16,840 --> 01:21:18,479
Speaker 1: coll Etra. They got a little too much County on

1605
01:21:18,479 --> 01:21:20,920
Speaker 1: Bobby Wagner to do everything. I do think they're vulnerable

1606
01:21:20,960 --> 01:21:22,680
Speaker 1: if they played a good offense. I don't think the VIC.

1607
01:21:23,560 --> 01:21:27,479
Speaker 1: I do know nothing about financial district and inside of

1608
01:21:27,520 --> 01:21:30,280
Speaker 1: training business, but I do know something that the Vikings.

1609
01:21:30,320 --> 01:21:33,479
Speaker 1: You run out of time to tell us that you're

1610
01:21:33,520 --> 01:21:35,920
Speaker 1: something more than you are. You're about to go six

1611
01:21:35,960 --> 01:21:38,400
Speaker 1: six and one, which is fitting because that's the record

1612
01:21:38,439 --> 01:21:41,360
Speaker 1: that you own. Because the Seattle Seahawks are gonna lock

1613
01:21:41,400 --> 01:21:44,040
Speaker 1: it up for me, right And I said, allows you

1614
01:21:44,080 --> 01:21:46,320
Speaker 1: to duck out of the Sunday business as well. That

1615
01:21:46,479 --> 01:21:49,679
Speaker 1: is my new trend. Yes, Um, a little update on Kendricks.

1616
01:21:49,840 --> 01:21:52,400
Speaker 1: He's facing up to twenty five years in prison, but

1617
01:21:52,439 --> 01:21:57,240
Speaker 1: he will most likely this from this came from Adam

1618
01:21:57,280 --> 01:22:00,400
Speaker 1: Schefter more likely to serve thirty to thirty seven months.

1619
01:22:00,920 --> 01:22:03,240
Speaker 1: But he's not being sentenced still January. So he's going

1620
01:22:03,240 --> 01:22:06,479
Speaker 1: to the slammer. Uh. My analysis was totally wrong. It's

1621
01:22:06,520 --> 01:22:08,600
Speaker 1: just a matter of time. Next month, he's going to

1622
01:22:08,680 --> 01:22:10,880
Speaker 1: prison for two to three years. Greg. I know you

1623
01:22:10,880 --> 01:22:12,559
Speaker 1: were on on the other side of the field from

1624
01:22:12,560 --> 01:22:15,240
Speaker 1: his brother this week. I know you were on the

1625
01:22:15,720 --> 01:22:18,720
Speaker 1: broadcast last night. I'm sure West and Dan will be

1626
01:22:18,720 --> 01:22:22,240
Speaker 1: set the show like the Game in America and Emma

1627
01:22:22,320 --> 01:22:26,600
Speaker 1: the broadcast broadcast. I you listened to the one that

1628
01:22:26,640 --> 01:22:28,320
Speaker 1: I was on. I believe or you did not. Who knows.

1629
01:22:28,400 --> 01:22:30,080
Speaker 1: You can pretend you did. But which episode do you

1630
01:22:30,120 --> 01:22:34,160
Speaker 1: think went better? Which episode was more entertaining to the listener?

1631
01:22:34,240 --> 01:22:36,320
Speaker 1: I would say year years. I would always take you

1632
01:22:36,360 --> 01:22:39,280
Speaker 1: as like you're kind of that guest that everyone wants you,

1633
01:22:41,840 --> 01:22:43,280
Speaker 1: and you're gonna come in. You're gonna be a little

1634
01:22:43,320 --> 01:22:44,840
Speaker 1: out of left Fiel. You're gonna bring your own little

1635
01:22:44,880 --> 01:22:47,760
Speaker 1: temperature it's gonna be great. Mark changes the temperature of

1636
01:22:47,760 --> 01:22:50,360
Speaker 1: the room. And that was a very organic question that

1637
01:22:50,400 --> 01:22:54,320
Speaker 1: I came up with on my own America. Who who

1638
01:22:54,360 --> 01:22:57,280
Speaker 1: did better? Just be honest, be totally honest. I mean,

1639
01:22:57,320 --> 01:23:00,439
Speaker 1: it's not a it's not a it's not a judging thing. Who.

1640
01:23:01,120 --> 01:23:02,880
Speaker 1: You'll have to listen and let me know, will you

1641
01:23:02,920 --> 01:23:05,920
Speaker 1: tell me after the show? Dan? Dan would rather, you know,

1642
01:23:06,720 --> 01:23:09,559
Speaker 1: go see like the latest period drama then listen to

1643
01:23:09,600 --> 01:23:12,160
Speaker 1: either one of them. I texted Dan to ask him

1644
01:23:12,200 --> 01:23:14,080
Speaker 1: if he wanted to come on, and he just ghosted.

1645
01:23:14,200 --> 01:23:16,120
Speaker 1: He didn't even text him back. That was a mistake,

1646
01:23:16,680 --> 01:23:18,680
Speaker 1: and I'm sorry about that, and I apologized for that,

1647
01:23:18,760 --> 01:23:20,320
Speaker 1: and I don't think that was fair for you to

1648
01:23:20,320 --> 01:23:24,880
Speaker 1: bring that up again. I'm sorry. All Right, we gotta

1649
01:23:24,880 --> 01:23:26,719
Speaker 1: get out of here. This is a ridiculously long show.

1650
01:23:27,120 --> 01:23:30,200
Speaker 1: Um great stuff, though I know how we could shorten it.

1651
01:23:30,479 --> 01:23:34,559
Speaker 1: People love it and uh west oh yeah, like that's

1652
01:23:34,600 --> 01:23:39,040
Speaker 1: the only little added. I love your twenty five minute

1653
01:23:39,040 --> 01:23:42,519
Speaker 1: plus segment. That's that's that's started in the episodes. It's

1654
01:23:42,560 --> 01:23:46,280
Speaker 1: like twenty seconds, you know. I like that. You thought

1655
01:23:46,360 --> 01:23:47,640
Speaker 1: I was the one you had to worry about with

1656
01:23:47,680 --> 01:23:51,880
Speaker 1: the race Yeah, that's true, but we're gonna ask quiet story.

1657
01:23:51,880 --> 01:23:54,280
Speaker 1: I'm out of time, alright, mail Man, the Old Boss

1658
