1
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:11,639
Speaker 1: This is straight Fire with Jason McIntyre. What is up

2
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:17,720
Speaker 1: straight Fire, Fam, It's me Jason McIntyre. Straight Fire for Monday, November.

3
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:23,680
Speaker 1: Another chaotic Sunday in the NFL. Fairly decent Saturday in

4
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 1: college football. I wouldn't call it great. On the hashtag

5
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 1: dad Life. I played pick up basketball indoors this weekend.

6
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:31,640
Speaker 1: It was phenomenal. I did so because my family was

7
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:34,720
Speaker 1: out of town. Uh. They checked out Yosemite National Park,

8
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 1: which they enjoyed. They saw a bear, and then I

9
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 1: kind of forced him to come back so my daughter

10
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:42,560
Speaker 1: could make her her soccer playoff game. Hopefully my wife

11
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 1: won't hear that, but she understands. Uh. And then my

12
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:46,879
Speaker 1: daughter comes back, scores two goals and we win a

13
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 1: six five thriller. Again, when you are a little older

14
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:52,479
Speaker 1: and not going out a lot, like I had a

15
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 1: Hall pass this weekend, Rob and some of the you know,

16
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 1: I'm talking to the dads, I'm like, boy, Hall passed

17
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 1: for me ten years ago. Shucks. I'm I'm in New

18
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 1: York City, you know, living it up. We're doing this that,

19
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 1: and now it's like I kind of want to wake

20
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 1: up early and play basketball. I was awesome. I loved

21
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 1: it two straight hours, well maybe an hour and a half.

22
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 1: I played well and it's fun. Um. Not as fun

23
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 1: as my Sunday gambling in the NFL, though, which was

24
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 1: one of my better weekends in a while. Um, And like,

25
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:24,320
Speaker 1: there was just so many good ripe upsets. I wanted survival.

26
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 1: We'll get to that later. Fantasy not so well, but

27
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 1: it was a good gambling four and one in the contest.

28
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 1: And before I get to, um, the Kansas City Chiefs

29
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:35,040
Speaker 1: who dominated Rob G's Raiders. I mean it was a

30
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 1: beat down of epic proportions. You could almost call that

31
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,119
Speaker 1: a curb stomping. I know that's kind of inappropriate to say.

32
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 1: I said it once on TV and the producer was like, hey,

33
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 1: that might might be a little strong. I was like,

34
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 1: all right, fine, Um, I gave you guys that trend

35
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 1: that my buddy had seen of bet on teams that

36
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 1: did not cover against teams that did. It went four

37
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 1: and one this week. The only loser was the Ravens

38
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 1: on Thursday Night Football. Now, technically some people want to say,

39
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 1: well the Chiefs uh covered the opening line last week.

40
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 1: I don't count that. Once Rogers was ruled out, Um,

41
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 1: it was just like the Maligne moved like seven points.

42
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 1: I was like, no way, that does not count. So

43
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:12,360
Speaker 1: for and one on that, I will give you the

44
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 1: game that it applies to this coming weeks. You can

45
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 1: get into bets early before the lines move, because that's

46
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,919
Speaker 1: what happens. But listen, I gotta start the pod with

47
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:23,359
Speaker 1: a team that we just savaged for about a good

48
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:25,360
Speaker 1: month there in the mid middle point of the season,

49
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 1: early to midpoint of the season, and it was almost

50
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 1: like a weekly thing, like what the hell is wrong

51
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: with these guys? They can't win? It has Andy we lost.

52
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,919
Speaker 1: It is Mahomes, just an ordinary guy who was talking

53
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:42,360
Speaker 1: about our dynasty. Dynasty Low and behold, the Kansas City

54
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 1: Chiefs pulled down the pants of the Raiders with an

55
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 1: amazing performance four hundred and six yards from Mahomes. Five

56
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:55,679
Speaker 1: Tuddies was not sacked, did have a couple dropped interceptions

57
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 1: that I'm sure Rob will point out was the massive

58
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 1: difference and the can the City Chiefs now are? Would

59
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:07,080
Speaker 1: you believe this the second best record in the a

60
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 1: f C. Just let that sink in. Currently and again,

61
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:12,799
Speaker 1: we got a long way to go. Seventeen games this year.

62
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 1: The Titans, who luck box their way into a win

63
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 1: again are eight and two. The Kansas City Chiefs at

64
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 1: six and four are currently second second in the a

65
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 1: f C. That to me is just crazy. Again, we

66
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 1: weren't writing them off. We were just at this moment,

67
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 1: at this juncture, the Chiefs are in trouble. Now. I'm

68
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 1: sure some people went overboard said, oh, after that loss

69
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 1: to the Titans, these guys are toast. They are terrible,

70
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 1: and you know what, that was a bad loss. I

71
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 1: was on them. The Bills lost at home was bad,

72
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 1: but we didn't totally write them off. Getting to the

73
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 1: playoffs was going to be difficult, but they able. They

74
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 1: got lucky against the Packers, not to face Aaron Rodgers.

75
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 1: They went into Vegas and performed very well. The Raiders

76
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 1: have been through some stuff in the last three weeks,

77
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 1: if you if you didn't notice, and the Chiefs are

78
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 1: sitting at six and four, folks, they're not dead. And

79
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 1: if you want to really think about it, let's open

80
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 1: the schedule for the upcoming Kansas City Chiefs. You ready

81
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 1: this week against the Cowboys who are coming off a

82
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 1: butt kicking. Uh. They just really humiliated the Falcons as

83
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 1: many thought we would um David Baker came on the

84
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,279
Speaker 1: pod this week. Gave out the Cowboys. They delivered. Hope

85
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:23,159
Speaker 1: you cash that one, then they gotta buy. And this

86
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 1: is who the Chiefs closed the season with Versus the Raiders,

87
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 1: who are not a good football team, Versus Rob GE's

88
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 1: Raiders who are kind of reeling. It feels at the Chargers, who,

89
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:36,840
Speaker 1: I mean, geez, I don't know what the hell's wrong

90
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 1: with the Chargers. They's lost lost four or five Versus

91
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 1: the Steelers, bad football team. I don't know, Rob We'll

92
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 1: see if we remind me later in the pod. I

93
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 1: have some deep thoughts on Steelers lines. I know nobody cares,

94
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:49,839
Speaker 1: but I just need to say some words on that.

95
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:53,719
Speaker 1: Um at the Bengals who are and at the Broncos,

96
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:57,040
Speaker 1: who at week seventeen will probably be tanking. Um, folks,

97
00:04:57,839 --> 00:04:59,840
Speaker 1: this is going to be in eleven or twelve wind

98
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,159
Speaker 1: into City Chiefs team and it's crazy to say, I

99
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 1: know it is. It's if they beat the if they

100
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 1: beat the Cowboys, we're looking at twelve wins and maybe

101
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 1: home field advantage in the playoffs. And now that the

102
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 1: Titans have a very easy schedule, but we'll get to

103
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 1: them a little bit. Their offenses not look good. In

104
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 1: two games with that Henry it is two wins, but

105
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 1: they haven't looked good to project going forward is not

106
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 1: well for them. But the Kansas City Chiefs right now, Rob,

107
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 1: I don't know how anybody's take other than okay, they're

108
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: starting to figure it out. The Kansas City Chiefs just

109
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 1: hung forty one on the on the Raiders and did

110
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 1: whatever the hell they wanted all night. No, the Chiefs

111
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 1: are not back in the a sense that everyone's gonna,

112
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,679
Speaker 1: you know, talk about later today and all the morning

113
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,919
Speaker 1: shows and the debate shows all throughout sports media. The

114
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 1: Chiefs as we know them still are not back. Okay,

115
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 1: this said so much more about the Raiders than it

116
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:58,840
Speaker 1: did about the Chiefs over the last month, when the

117
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 1: Chiefs haven't really been strugg laying Patrick Mahomes was you know,

118
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,919
Speaker 1: turning the ball over, had more turnovers than a bakery.

119
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 1: What was giving them trouble was too high safeties. Man underneath,

120
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:16,160
Speaker 1: the Raiders play a cover three that that you know,

121
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 1: Pete Carroll brought with the Legion of Boom and Gus

122
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 1: probably has been running that defense for years now. So

123
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 1: naturally the Raiders side, you know what, we're middle of

124
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 1: the pack with the cover three defense. Let's just stick

125
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 1: with that against the Chiefs who had been struggling for

126
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 1: a month against the specific defense. And of course the

127
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 1: Chiefs carved him up. What do you think that is?

128
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 1: Rob is that ego? Like, we know, I think they

129
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 1: struggle against this, Let's not do that and do something else.

130
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 1: I think part of it is that the Raiders of

131
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 1: the last five or six years had multiple looks defensively,

132
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:52,599
Speaker 1: and they were all terrible. They switched to this one

133
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 1: specific look like in their snaps and there at least

134
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:58,039
Speaker 1: middle of the roads. So they're like, hey, let's not

135
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,919
Speaker 1: jeopardize anything. Let's just stick to this because this is

136
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 1: what we are kind of good at. And and they

137
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 1: got lit up. You know. It's just everything that could

138
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 1: go wrong did go wrong. You mentioned the two drop picks.

139
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 1: That's one de Sean Jackson fumbling on a deep pass.

140
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 1: I mean, look at that replay, like he catches it

141
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 1: and if he just keeps running, you go out of

142
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 1: bounds in four yards, but he turns it inside. The

143
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 1: defense then has a chance to poke it loose, and

144
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 1: it was like, welcome to the Raiders. De Sean Jackson, Yeah, exactly,

145
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 1: And it was just it was a bad night for them.

146
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 1: Everything that could go wrong did go wrong. They were

147
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 1: heavily penalized, a lot of third down, you know, they

148
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 1: should have been third and long became third and short

149
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 1: because of defensive false starts. They had a fake punt,

150
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 1: you know, be executed against them when the Raiders instroim

151
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 1: head coach is a special teams guy, so that should

152
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 1: never happen. So it was just it was it was

153
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 1: a Raiders night. You know. The Raiders have not been

154
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 1: good for twenty years, you know, and and anytime they

155
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 1: have a little bit of success recently in the last

156
00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 1: three or four years, some thing happens and they just

157
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 1: fall off a cliff. Every time it's a big game

158
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 1: in a big spot there there, they get more likely

159
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 1: to get the blows, the doors blown off of them

160
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 1: than they are to actually win those games. So I

161
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 1: thought this was a Raiders meltdown in every sense of

162
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 1: the word. And I think you'll see next week when

163
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 1: the Chiefs play the Cowboys, that the Chiefs still are

164
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 1: not the Chiefs the All Caps cheps. Yet I don't

165
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 1: see it, well, we'll see. I mean, the troubling thing

166
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 1: for the Raiders was And again, the game just happened

167
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: last night, so I haven't seen a dive, deep dive

168
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 1: dissection into why the Raiders could only score fourteen points.

169
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:38,080
Speaker 1: But I will remind you that Jalen Hurts went up

170
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 1: and down the field against his Chief's defense. Lamar Jackson,

171
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield, Justin Herbert, I mean, Danny Dimes had them

172
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 1: in the game. Uh, other than Jordan's love like Ryan

173
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:51,839
Speaker 1: Tannehill played really well against the Chiefs. The Chiefs defense

174
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:55,679
Speaker 1: has been an abomination. Rob and Derek Carr could only

175
00:08:55,760 --> 00:09:00,120
Speaker 1: muster one for nine on third downs two yards. The

176
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,680
Speaker 1: Chiefs you don't want to call them back average six

177
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:05,320
Speaker 1: point eight yards of play had five hundred and sixteen

178
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 1: yards like they they You could just see that, Mahomes.

179
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:13,560
Speaker 1: If you don't do the defense that says, hey, we'll

180
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:15,560
Speaker 1: give you that five six yard pass, we'll give it

181
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:18,079
Speaker 1: to you, and you give them any opportunities that the

182
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 1: splash plays, you're screwed. And I just don't understand how

183
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:24,200
Speaker 1: the Raiders interim coach or the defensive coordinator could give

184
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:28,679
Speaker 1: up Five different receivers had catches over twenty yards Byron

185
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:32,560
Speaker 1: Pringle me Cole Hardman, and then of course Hill Kelsey

186
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 1: and Darryl Williams looking looking like Marcus Allen out there. Sorry,

187
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:41,559
Speaker 1: I did Raiders actually bench Darryl Williams in my fantasy

188
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 1: league and for Kenny and Drake. You know, obviously, if

189
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 1: anyone knows fantasy football, that was just a terrible decision.

190
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:47,960
Speaker 1: But I knew I was gonna win, so I didn't

191
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 1: want to root against my team on Today Night Football.

192
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 1: Guess I think that's probably the funniest fantasy football comment

193
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 1: I've heard in weeks. You didn't want to root against

194
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 1: your team and realize that such do you wear like

195
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:00,960
Speaker 1: the Raiders starter jacket during games or any Raider is gear? No,

196
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 1: I do not. Okay. I showed up at my daughter

197
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 1: soccer game with the Jets T shirt on and a

198
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:10,439
Speaker 1: buddy on the team, well, a daughter who's the guy

199
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 1: has a daughter who's friends with my daughter. He's wearing

200
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:14,679
Speaker 1: his Charger stuff and we're kind of watching some of

201
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:16,560
Speaker 1: the Chargers game on my phone. I was like, what's

202
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:19,320
Speaker 1: wrong with your Chargers man? He goes, listen, you got

203
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 1: a Jets T shirt on? Jay, all right, I gotta

204
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:24,560
Speaker 1: fall back by the way quickly, before I get to

205
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 1: a pretty big story. I think it's gonna be probably

206
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 1: a bigger talking point than the Chiefs today. Rob Um,

207
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 1: did you see what the Jets defense has done recently

208
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:38,840
Speaker 1: under Robert Sala, who is a defensive coordinator from the um.

209
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:42,320
Speaker 1: They lost fifty four to the Patriots. They did beat

210
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:45,079
Speaker 1: the Bengals, but the Bengal scored thirty one points. They

211
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:48,839
Speaker 1: give up forty five to the Colts and forty five

212
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:51,080
Speaker 1: to the Bills. So in the last two games they've

213
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 1: given up at ninety points. Okay, this is a former

214
00:10:55,800 --> 00:11:00,559
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator. All these bozos in New York who were like, oh,

215
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:04,560
Speaker 1: Mike White, we got a quarterback controversy, Mike White who

216
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:07,320
Speaker 1: doubles as like a FedEx delivery man in the off season.

217
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 1: I think he threw four interceptions then he got hurt again.

218
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:13,560
Speaker 1: That's two weeks in a row he's gotten hurt. Um

219
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 1: a crazy stat, Rob, I know, have gone on too

220
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 1: long on the Jets and people are probably gonna fast forward.

221
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 1: But all five starters in the Buffalo Bill secondary he

222
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 1: had to turn over against the Jets, all five. That's real.

223
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 1: That's a real thing. Four interceptions in a fumble recovery.

224
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 1: Let me say this to make you feel good about yourself.

225
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:31,320
Speaker 1: Next time you tell that story about the Jets, just

226
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 1: say we have a record setting defense. Yeah, record back,

227
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,440
Speaker 1: don't don't don't let them know what kind of record

228
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 1: it is to say we gotta record. It's just a

229
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 1: bad one. Um. The Jets were down thirty eight to

230
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 1: three at home before some garbage time um points. Thank

231
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 1: you Joe Flacco for the Elijah More uh fantasy points. Yes,

232
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 1: I had to start, and that's how bad it is. Um.

233
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 1: But they were trying to put lipstick on a pig

234
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 1: and make it look like the Jets weren't that bad.

235
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 1: They got their asses kicked and it's an embarrassment. The

236
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 1: good news is thanks to the Seahawks doing absolutely nothing, rob. Honestly,

237
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:06,200
Speaker 1: I thought this was one of my top three surprises.

238
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 1: The Seahawks could not score on the Packers defense. Zero points. What? Um?

239
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:15,840
Speaker 1: The Jets now have the third and seventh pick in

240
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 1: the draft. How excited are you? Robbed they got to

241
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 1: top ten picks. As a Raiders guy, you should know

242
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:23,080
Speaker 1: that you guys always have a lot of picks, right Ah, Yeah,

243
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 1: there's not enough the team anymore. That's all all right

244
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 1: now that I think this story is kind of a

245
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:33,439
Speaker 1: sleeping giant. And you guys know I I've said I

246
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:35,199
Speaker 1: I had got a buddy. I played pick up basketball.

247
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,600
Speaker 1: If he lives near me, he does a lot of

248
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 1: He's like the head pr guy, marketing guy for Baker Mayfield.

249
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 1: So when he's getting all these commercials, dis guys like

250
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 1: making the deals and we're friends. And I have grown

251
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:50,080
Speaker 1: to kind of like Baker a little bit based on

252
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 1: some of the stories this guys tells me. Obviously these

253
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 1: are all positive stories. And you know, I was thrilled

254
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:56,720
Speaker 1: when O'Dell got chipped out of town. You can read

255
00:12:56,720 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 1: between the lines on that one, and then I was world.

256
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 1: Baker looks solid against the Bengals, tossing a touchdown pass,

257
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 1: getting a little cocky in the post game interviews. And

258
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:10,960
Speaker 1: I liked him against the Patriots, even after Nick Chella said,

259
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 1: you know what, it's bigger than that. They should be

260
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 1: all right, and they got embarrassed so badly forty five

261
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,840
Speaker 1: to seven. There were one for eleven on third down.

262
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 1: Baker tried to throw an end zone in the interception

263
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:27,680
Speaker 1: on the first drive, then did throw an interception on

264
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:29,439
Speaker 1: the second drive that gave the Patriots first in goal

265
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:32,199
Speaker 1: and like, you know, seven minutes into the game. I

266
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:34,080
Speaker 1: think it was the second quarter because the first quarter

267
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:37,079
Speaker 1: drives are so long, and it was just a total

268
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:40,319
Speaker 1: ship show for the Browns. One of the low points

269
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:42,559
Speaker 1: of the Baker Mayfield era. I think the other one

270
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:44,560
Speaker 1: would be when didn't he talk trash to Hugh Hugh

271
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:48,080
Speaker 1: uh is not Hugh Douglas, Hugh um Jackson, Hugh Jackson,

272
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 1: thank you? He like he said something to him. There

273
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 1: was like like, come on, dude, grow up, and he

274
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:54,320
Speaker 1: has grown up a little bit. He was so bad

275
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 1: it prompted a story by a guy who's come on

276
00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 1: this pod before, Charles Robinson at Yahoo. And you guys,

277
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 1: you gotta read this. The Cleveland Browns may need to

278
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:07,960
Speaker 1: mold quarterback options beyond Baker Mayfield. And he, I know

279
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:10,959
Speaker 1: that's obviously sounds like, oh, that's very basic. Everybody knows that.

280
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:15,440
Speaker 1: But he draws a parallel with Marcus Mariota and the Titans.

281
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:17,680
Speaker 1: And if you guys remember Mariota got to the playoffs

282
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 1: with the Titans. They were up big on the Chiefs

283
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 1: and then lost. That was like the final uh, Alex

284
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 1: Smith won that game, and then the next season they

285
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 1: handed it over to Patrick Mahomes, but Mariota didn't get

286
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 1: back to the playoffs, kept getting injured. They gave him

287
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 1: the fifth year option, and as like insurance, they traded

288
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 1: for Ryan Tannehill. They're like, yeah, let's just let's see

289
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 1: what we got. Let's let's leave our options open. And

290
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 1: Marcus Mariota, um, you know, played himself out of starting

291
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 1: role and he was the number two overall pick. I

292
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 1: loved him coming out of Oregon, and he just never

293
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 1: worked for him. He just did not happen. And next

294
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 1: thing you know, they've got Ryan Tannehill waiting in the wings.

295
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 1: And wouldn't you know it, but things have looked damn

296
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 1: good with Ryan Tannehill. And I asked the question Rob, like, jeez,

297
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 1: this is one of those games where the only takeaway is,

298
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 1: holy cow, what the hell is wrong with Baker Mayfield?

299
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 1: He was bad. I know, he got injured the shoulder,

300
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 1: and we could play all these well he's kind of injured,

301
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 1: and you know he didn't have Nick Chubb with Kareem

302
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 1: Hunt five, we can play that and that's real, that's factual. Um,

303
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 1: the kid Deanernist Johnson did play well in uh in

304
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 1: reserve for Chubb and Hunt. But the reality is Baker's

305
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 1: just not making throws they did have. They had zero

306
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:32,840
Speaker 1: explosive plass pass plays down the field, no passes of

307
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 1: twenty and more yards. I just told you Patrick Mahomes

308
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 1: had five different receivers with explosive pass plays. They couldn't

309
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 1: throw the ball down the field, and any time Baker did,

310
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 1: there was like two or three Patriots there and You're like, jeez,

311
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 1: they they're just reading them like a book. The Browns

312
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 1: had two and seventeen yards of offense, one for eleven

313
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 1: on third down, three point seven yards per play. They

314
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 1: did nothing. Now, the Browns defense is another story. By

315
00:15:57,800 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 1: the way, Myles Garrett kind of calling out the defensive

316
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 1: cord later, you gotta wonder what the vibe is like there. Uh,

317
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:06,120
Speaker 1: let me give you the exact quote if I can

318
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 1: find it from Miles Garrett. So we gotta go back

319
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 1: to the drawing board and say, we can be better,

320
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 1: see how we can scheme better, see how we can

321
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 1: make adjustments on the fly. We never had a chance

322
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 1: just because we didn't make any adjustments on the sideline.

323
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 1: Oh boy, So of course the media like could say more, please,

324
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 1: Miles Garrett just like, well, we didn't make adjustments as

325
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 1: they kept on scoring and we weren't countering that. So

326
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 1: I mean, we need to do better. And I'll tell

327
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 1: you right now. Joe Woods has done a pretty good

328
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 1: job this season. UM a couple of spots, there is

329
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 1: no doubt about it. But the Browns defense is keeping

330
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 1: Myles Garrett, who leads the NFL and sex and Joe

331
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 1: Woods is gonna have to look for another line of

332
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 1: work if you don't make any changes. I'm concerned about

333
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 1: this Brown's team. Next week they have the Lions. Now,

334
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 1: I mentioned that UM teams that did not cover versus

335
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 1: teams that did cover four and one last week. There

336
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 1: are four teams this week and the Browns fit the

337
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 1: bill they did not cover. They will face the Detroit Lions,

338
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:09,680
Speaker 1: who did cover by tying Pittsburgh as big underdogs. Pittsburgh

339
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:12,119
Speaker 1: didn't that big ben the other three games. If you're curious,

340
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:14,119
Speaker 1: I'll bury it in the middle of the pod. Uh

341
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 1: so only real listeners of the pod will get it.

342
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 1: I don't want to leave it at the end, so

343
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:19,639
Speaker 1: people just skip to the last five minutes. Yeah, we

344
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:23,399
Speaker 1: can see who does that guys, Um Colts fit the

345
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:25,399
Speaker 1: bill if you want to back them. They did not

346
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:27,920
Speaker 1: cover against Jacksonville, at least I don't think they did.

347
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 1: And they played the Bills who did cover. Um the

348
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:35,119
Speaker 1: New York Jets, Yes, that's right, the New York Football Jets,

349
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 1: if you can stomach that, the team that's given up

350
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:39,679
Speaker 1: ninety points in the last two weeks. They faced the

351
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins and the Atlanta Falcons, who got their doors

352
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:46,400
Speaker 1: blown off by Dallas. They face the Patriots, and I'll

353
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:48,600
Speaker 1: tell you right now, that's gonna be the toughest one

354
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:51,359
Speaker 1: to swallow. But before you're like, wait a second, jee,

355
00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 1: there's no way anybody's backing the freaking Falcons, the Jets,

356
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:58,120
Speaker 1: couple the Browns. Give me a break. I just want

357
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 1: to remind you. In the afternoon games today, guys, Arizona

358
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,960
Speaker 1: lost thirty four to ten at home to Carolina, who

359
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:08,240
Speaker 1: last week got embarrassed by these same Patriots. Carolina started

360
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:11,000
Speaker 1: p J Walker at quarterback. Shout out to Cam Newton

361
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 1: for getting getting back in his groove with the touchdown

362
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:17,280
Speaker 1: run and screaming I'm back. A good visual, that's for sure.

363
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:23,160
Speaker 1: And Washington, which was over a touchdown underdog at home

364
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:26,440
Speaker 1: beat up on Tampa Bay, but one by ten. So

365
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:29,359
Speaker 1: like this, when you look at it on paper, you're like, nah,

366
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 1: there's no shot of that. Reality is these games are crazy.

371
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 1: buddy at the soccer game, tell me, I don't know

372
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:51,679
Speaker 1: how you bet on the NFL. These games are just

373
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 1: absolutely bonkers. Like Baltimore losing to Miami. What on earth

374
00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:00,720
Speaker 1: is that? And you know, Robb, I, this is why

375
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 1: this league is so amazing to monitor and play fantasy

376
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 1: and survivor. You just have no idea. Like Baker Mayfield

377
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 1: the Browns playoffs last year, win a game, expectations are high.

378
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:15,399
Speaker 1: They look great in the first three quarters against the

379
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 1: Chiefs in the opener um up and down. It's like

380
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:23,240
Speaker 1: this league is such a roller coaster. I think that's

381
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 1: why I like it so much. The unpredictability, it's just phenomenal. Yeah,

382
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 1: I mean, and I would totally agree with you that

383
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:33,439
Speaker 1: this season especially, it's been really hard to predict what

384
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 1: was going on. I mean, we saw last week all

385
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 1: these huge upsets and everybody's losing their minds. And then

386
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 1: this week you get the Cowboys and the Bills just

387
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:43,920
Speaker 1: throttling teams like they were expected to do. But I

388
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 1: want to focus really quick on Baker Mayfield. I don't

389
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 1: see him as indicative of this NFL season as a whole.

390
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:52,879
Speaker 1: I don't see him as this roller coaster Kupe player.

391
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 1: I think Baker Mayfield is just not a good quarterback.

392
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:59,400
Speaker 1: I I know that everybody's very excited because they went

393
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:01,399
Speaker 1: what was it a Evan and five last year they

394
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 1: made the playoffs, and everybody's all like, oh, yeah, you

395
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:08,200
Speaker 1: know that he turned things around in Cleveland. And then

396
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 1: all of a sudden they go and play a team

397
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:14,120
Speaker 1: that is almost a mirror image of them in New England.

398
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 1: We're gonna run the ball, we want to play defense,

399
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:20,440
Speaker 1: we want to limit our quarterbacks exposure in the passing game.

400
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 1: And what happened? They get the doors blown off of them,

401
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:27,640
Speaker 1: and you I won't even buy the thing like, hey

402
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 1: we're down. Uh Nick Chubb and Kareema, who are both

403
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:33,120
Speaker 1: fantastic players, But I believe that New England was also

404
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:35,639
Speaker 1: down there starting running back. They were down there starting

405
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 1: tight end, and that didn't matter because Mac Jones, for

406
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:43,119
Speaker 1: all of his limitations and and even the play calling,

407
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 1: he can hit a seven and eight yard guy if

408
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:49,200
Speaker 1: he's open passed a third down. Did you see how

409
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:51,240
Speaker 1: perfect he was? Seven nine, by the way, and I

410
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 1: think he hit his first six. He was awesome. And

411
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:57,960
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield, if they're not running the ball for five

412
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:02,920
Speaker 1: plus yards to carry, he's shown that he cannot function

413
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 1: as even a mid tier quarterback in the NFL. So

414
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:09,280
Speaker 1: what are you saying he's thirty two quarterbacks in the NFL?

415
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 1: I would love We're not going to name all them,

416
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 1: but put a number on a rob if if there's

417
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:15,920
Speaker 1: one to thirty two starters and we're gonna we're not

418
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:18,640
Speaker 1: gonna go with like colpe McCoy in there, all things

419
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 1: being healthy, Give me where the ballpark Baker is is he?

420
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:26,680
Speaker 1: Is he in the fifteen to twenty? I think he's

421
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 1: somewhere in the eighteen to twenty two. I haven't I

422
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:32,199
Speaker 1: haven't looked at the list that this is just you know,

423
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 1: top of my head, just kind of christ because I

424
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:38,440
Speaker 1: don't think you can put the game on Baker Mayfield's

425
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 1: shoulders consistently and he's going to be able to be successful.

426
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 1: I know he's done it a few times. And you

427
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:47,800
Speaker 1: know that that game last year against Baltimore was one

428
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:50,159
Speaker 1: of the greater games I've seen from him. Specifically, he

429
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 1: was great, But throughout his career, the only success that

430
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:58,440
Speaker 1: he's ever had in this league has been last season

431
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 1: when they ran the ball on first down, ran the

432
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:02,680
Speaker 1: ball on second down, ran the ball on third down,

433
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:06,200
Speaker 1: and then occasionally sprinting sprinkling some passes. And that's how

434
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:08,919
Speaker 1: he's he's able to be good. Like the fact that

435
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 1: I hate to bring this up, but the fact that

436
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:13,680
Speaker 1: you had Odell Beckham Jr. Whether you think that he's

437
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:16,640
Speaker 1: still a great receiver or not, that you can't even

438
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:19,879
Speaker 1: get him the ball on a consistent basis tells me

439
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:21,560
Speaker 1: all I need to know about you as a quarterback.

440
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 1: And Cleveland, I think that Charles Robinson hit it right

441
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:30,359
Speaker 1: on the head. They need to consider an alternative to

442
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield. I don't know if they can get Aaron Rodgers.

443
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:35,119
Speaker 1: I don't know. There were Ryan Tannehill out there. And

444
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:36,879
Speaker 1: that's the thing. You start to the league. You're like

445
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 1: there just where the fact that when they picked up

446
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:42,920
Speaker 1: his fifth year option and commit I think it's what

447
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 1: like twenty million dollars that they're locked into. But what

448
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 1: it does is that it limits what they can do

449
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:50,760
Speaker 1: on the trademarket. Because I believe that Russell Wilson might

450
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:54,639
Speaker 1: be available. I believe Aaron Rodgers will hold hold on,

451
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 1: Come on, Russell Wilson. Really, do you think that things

452
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 1: are you know, p g ind up in Seattle right now?

453
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 1: I don't. I think Russell would want to give it

454
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 1: a shot. But the idea that the Browns are gonna

455
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:09,679
Speaker 1: trade and trade Russell Wilson um for what, like you,

456
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 1: you're gonna They're the first thing they're gonna say, Garrett,

457
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:15,240
Speaker 1: give me all the picks whatever. I mean, we've seen

458
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 1: in this league this season, especially that a good quarterback

459
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 1: can mask a lot of problems. You know, I mean

460
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers beat an undefeated Arizona team on the road

461
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 1: on a short week without three of his best receivers.

462
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:36,040
Speaker 1: Because he does, you can trust he's gonna do enough

463
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:38,640
Speaker 1: in the big spots to put you in position to win.

464
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 1: And if you're Cleveland, that roster top to bottom is stacked. Yeah.

465
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 1: But here's the thing. Rob. If you say, Russ, we

466
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:51,159
Speaker 1: were willing to trade you, where would you like to go?

467
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:55,119
Speaker 1: How is Russell Wilson saying Cleveland? Hell no, probably not

468
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:59,959
Speaker 1: no way, Aaron Rodgers Cleveland? Who was it? Joe Kim Noah?

469
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:03,200
Speaker 1: Who was like? Does anybody talk about freaking vacation in Cleveland?

470
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:09,840
Speaker 1: No vacation? Yeah, exactly. I don't know. I think I

471
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:12,440
Speaker 1: don't mind picking up the option. I think you've just

472
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:14,119
Speaker 1: got to get creative, Like, I mean, I don't know

473
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:16,639
Speaker 1: what you Okay, you know when when the dolph hold up,

474
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:19,119
Speaker 1: when the Dolphins dumped to uh and they try to

475
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:22,359
Speaker 1: get Watson because we know Watson has a no trade

476
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 1: so he's not going to Cleveland. Um, do you make

477
00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:31,200
Speaker 1: a play for Toa Maybe maybe he's an upgrade over Baker.

478
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:33,320
Speaker 1: I don't know about that. Here's the most I think

479
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 1: logical option. Derek Carr warm Weather guy. I think he

480
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:44,879
Speaker 1: uh fresno stage. But if all has to do is

481
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:48,680
Speaker 1: hand the ball off twenty five times and then went

482
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:52,040
Speaker 1: on third down, he can absolutely do that. What okay,

483
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:56,240
Speaker 1: I will see your Derek Carr and raise you a Mr.

484
00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo. Jimmy he could do that too, he be

485
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 1: would be probably cheaper. Yeah, I think Garoppo would be cheaper. Uh,

486
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:06,680
Speaker 1: he's already proven he can get to the Super Bowl

487
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 1: by being the ultimate game manager. Um, does Carson Wentz

488
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:13,640
Speaker 1: do anything for you? I think Carson Wentz will still

489
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 1: be in Indianapolis. I think Gardner Minshew not really. I

490
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 1: couldn't say it with a straight faced Cooper Rush. Yeah.

491
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 1: What about Trabiski musta is it Maserati Mitch or Mustang

492
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:33,080
Speaker 1: Mitch or he you know what. I don't know if

493
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:36,160
Speaker 1: he'd be an upgrade over over Baker, but it would

494
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:38,199
Speaker 1: it wouldn't hurt to try. Kind of like the Tannehill thing.

495
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:41,240
Speaker 1: I think there's enough raw talent there that, you know,

496
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:45,880
Speaker 1: Matt Nagy maybe the Midwest version of Adam Gaze that Nag,

497
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 1: Oh gosh that is that's just look at the numbers, man. Um.

498
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 1: So I just a couple of can we a buzz

499
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:55,200
Speaker 1: around the league real quick? I know some people want

500
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 1: to hear some NBA stuff because NBA got interesting, but

501
00:25:57,320 --> 00:25:59,480
Speaker 1: we'll have to save that for Tuesday or Wednesday. Guys. Also,

502
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:01,120
Speaker 1: we may have a really good NBA guests this week.

503
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 1: We'll see um, all right, let's go back. Not to

504
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:05,119
Speaker 1: stick in the a f C West too long, but

505
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 1: Chargers have lost four or five. I started thinking about it.

506
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:11,560
Speaker 1: Their defense is kind of built like the Rams, right,

507
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:15,879
Speaker 1: two big splashy names Bosa, Derwin James, and then you

508
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:18,399
Speaker 1: look around and it's like, oh my gosh, these guys

509
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 1: stink on defense. I mean, their defense is just getting

510
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:23,479
Speaker 1: pushed around, and they have a defensive minded coach and Staley,

511
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:26,240
Speaker 1: who was like, you know, everybody loved Brandon Staley. Oh,

512
00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 1: it's a genius for some of the calls he made.

513
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:31,240
Speaker 1: Of course, that Brown's game was huge and like everybody

514
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:34,959
Speaker 1: loved it. Since that game, they've been pretty bad. It's

515
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:37,720
Speaker 1: disappointing because I love me some Herbert, and I'll say

516
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:39,639
Speaker 1: right now, like Herbert has not been great. He had

517
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:43,680
Speaker 1: a pretty bad interception against the Vikings. I think Kendricks

518
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:47,639
Speaker 1: picked it off, and I listen, I don't think Herbert

519
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:49,280
Speaker 1: is one of these dudes who's letting stuff go to

520
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 1: his head. But since that that went over, the Browns

521
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 1: was forty seven forty two when he had four touchdowns

522
00:26:56,720 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 1: almost four yards, he really hasn't done much outside of

523
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:02,359
Speaker 1: the Eagles game and we know the Eagles past defense

524
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:05,359
Speaker 1: is a joke. Um, Herbert has been bottled up. He

525
00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 1: couldn't do anything against the Patriots, you could arguely lost

526
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:10,720
Speaker 1: the game for them. And it was not good against

527
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 1: the Vikings. So he was also not good against the Ravens. Um.

528
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:17,639
Speaker 1: Those are some of his worst games, his his worst

529
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:21,560
Speaker 1: QBR games of the season. And if you don't like QBR,

530
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:24,360
Speaker 1: go to Quarterback Rating. We're against New England and Baltimore,

531
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:27,280
Speaker 1: two very good teams. But he wasn't great against the Vikings.

532
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:30,160
Speaker 1: And when you have a defense that's just getting run

533
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:32,480
Speaker 1: over on every play because they can't stop the run,

534
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 1: you're just gonna get lit up. And I feel bad

535
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:37,879
Speaker 1: for Herbert because I like this Chargers team. Man. I

536
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 1: would love for too, you know, and the Super bowls

537
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 1: out here and so Fie and I would love for

538
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 1: the Chargers or Ramps to get to the super Bowl.

539
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:47,160
Speaker 1: I just all of a sudden, I don't see it. Um,

540
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 1: this defense is just bad, justin Jefferson basically just getting

541
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:54,879
Speaker 1: open left and right against his secondary. Um. I don't know, man,

542
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:57,440
Speaker 1: I'm I'm pretty down on the Charges right now. Rob.

543
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:01,280
Speaker 1: You know what I think, I hold you early on

544
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:05,480
Speaker 1: in the season that the Chargers are consistently one of

545
00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:09,679
Speaker 1: the most disappointed teams in football because their roster, similar

546
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:12,440
Speaker 1: to the Browns, is very stacked, even more so because

547
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:15,800
Speaker 1: they have Justin Herbert, who I think, let's define stacked,

548
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:18,280
Speaker 1: rob let me hear your definition of stacked. They have

549
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:23,679
Speaker 1: multiple Pro Bowl caliber players on their roster, like up

550
00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 1: and down the roster. You can go on the defensive line,

551
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:29,720
Speaker 1: the secondary, you know, the offensive line, the skill position, like,

552
00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 1: they have a lot of guys who I think are

553
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:35,040
Speaker 1: very talented, and the fact that they have a stud

554
00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:37,920
Speaker 1: quarterback and Justin Herbert, I think puts it over the top.

555
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:41,920
Speaker 1: But for whatever reason, I don't know if it's coaching,

556
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 1: I don't know, if it's karma, I don't know what

557
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 1: it is. But they find a way to always be

558
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 1: like eight and eight, nine and seven, seven and nine,

559
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:55,440
Speaker 1: Like they will find ways to lose games that are

560
00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 1: really close that they probably shouldn't and that's just what

561
00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 1: their m O has been for the last several years. Like,

562
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 1: I don't understand what it is that they can't be

563
00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:06,160
Speaker 1: as good as their talent suggests that they should be.

564
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 1: And it's just it's baffling to me. Um, it's weird.

565
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:13,000
Speaker 1: So I went to Pro Football Focused and look like that. Again,

566
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:15,080
Speaker 1: Pro football Focus is not the end all be all,

567
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:17,880
Speaker 1: but it's a fair fair reference point, so they grade

568
00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:19,960
Speaker 1: out players and again we can quibble over the grades

569
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 1: and all that. Fine. Whatever that being said, Green is good, right,

570
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:27,320
Speaker 1: obviously green money, ha ha. So they have two guys

571
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:31,000
Speaker 1: in the Green Bosa and Derwin James are rated very

572
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 1: highly this year. It's some cornerback I've never heard of

573
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:37,120
Speaker 1: named Campbell. He apparently went to college in Canada. I'm

574
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 1: assuming you know he's pretty new to the league, undrafted

575
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 1: in twenty He's he's graded out well, but only in

576
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:47,080
Speaker 1: like four games. Almost everyone else on the defense, including

577
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:50,040
Speaker 1: the young kids Samuel, who's been good at cornerback, is

578
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:54,000
Speaker 1: basically bright orange like Nuo Sue. On the edge, they

579
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:58,160
Speaker 1: graded out a hundred and ten edge rushers. He's Their

580
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:01,880
Speaker 1: linebackers are very bad, and then their defensive tackles can't

581
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:04,160
Speaker 1: stop the run at Artillery grades out hundred and third

582
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:07,760
Speaker 1: out of their defense is so soft in the middle.

583
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:10,600
Speaker 1: All you've got to do is focus on Bosa, who's

584
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:13,160
Speaker 1: still winning even when he's double teamed and there's really

585
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:15,080
Speaker 1: nowhere else they can stop you if you put drawings

586
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 1: in the James in the box Shore. But then your secondary,

587
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:19,440
Speaker 1: which is beat up, is getting torched. And I just

588
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:21,040
Speaker 1: feel bad. I mean, I think they've given up twenty

589
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:22,880
Speaker 1: eight or twenty seven or more points in like five

590
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:25,600
Speaker 1: straight games, and that's just that. It's tough to win

591
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 1: like that, tough to win for like that. For the Chargers,

592
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 1: I'm I'm get and worried because we all know that

593
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, given that schedule, are gonna are gonna come

594
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:35,080
Speaker 1: out of the of the a f C West. That's

595
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:39,120
Speaker 1: a given right. You'll concede that, Rob, Yeah, I think, Um,

596
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 1: as soon as they wanted last night against the Raiders,

597
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:42,400
Speaker 1: I think that division was there and I thought they

598
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 1: were gonna win anyway, So I kind of agree with you.

599
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:47,400
Speaker 1: So then you've got the Raiders and the Broncos who

600
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 1: are jekyl and high teams that you just have no

601
00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 1: idea who's going to show up. I just I you don't.

602
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:54,840
Speaker 1: Every week, the Colts are sneaking their way back into

603
00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 1: the wild card Mix five and five. Um, you got

604
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:02,800
Speaker 1: interesting aims coming up for the Steelers and Bengals and Browns.

605
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:07,640
Speaker 1: I'll quickly say this about the Pittsburgh Steelers. How unbelievably

606
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:10,800
Speaker 1: bad and predictable Mike Tomlin is. I mean, rob any

607
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:15,840
Speaker 1: time their favorite by five against a bad team, just

608
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:19,960
Speaker 1: go the other way. Mike Tomlin never ever delivers as

609
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:23,040
Speaker 1: a big favorite. He's great as an underdog, the ultimate

610
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:25,520
Speaker 1: raw rack. I could fire up the guys. You know

611
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:28,240
Speaker 1: this is so nerdy. I can't believe I'm saying this.

612
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:30,960
Speaker 1: So when I coach my kids in sports, one of

613
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:33,760
Speaker 1: my things to get them fired up is the movie Troy.

614
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:35,960
Speaker 1: If you guys have seen that with Brad Pitt some

615
00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:37,960
Speaker 1: of you may have. I'm sure it was panned by

616
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:41,360
Speaker 1: the critics who are idiots. Um So, Brad Pitt is

617
00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 1: Achilles and they are on the boat ready to take

618
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:47,400
Speaker 1: the shores, and he gets them fired up with this

619
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 1: epic thirty second speech and in the middle of it

620
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:55,280
Speaker 1: he's like, I would rather go to war with any

621
00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 1: of you than anyone else. Remember who we are. We

622
00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:02,920
Speaker 1: are lions. And they all just start like getting I

623
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:05,840
Speaker 1: just want to and like that's what Tomla does. We

624
00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:08,080
Speaker 1: are underdogs. These guys are not better this. What do

625
00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:09,520
Speaker 1: they go out and do against the Buffalo Bills in

626
00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 1: the opener, they beat him like. This is what they

627
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:13,480
Speaker 1: do underdogs against the Browns, what do they do? Beat

628
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:16,880
Speaker 1: them like? As a favorite. And I mean, I know

629
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:20,240
Speaker 1: Steelers fans have to be crestfallen that Mason Rudolph is

630
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:24,640
Speaker 1: still the backup quarterback because he is awful. Um, I

631
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:26,560
Speaker 1: don't know how you can look yourself in the mirror

632
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:30,360
Speaker 1: after tying the Detroit Lions. And by the way, the

633
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:33,080
Speaker 1: Lions were bad, rob they were horrible. Yeah, but you

634
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:35,560
Speaker 1: gotta cut in some slack. They planned all week for

635
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:37,840
Speaker 1: Big Band. They had no intention of Mason Rudolph's ever

636
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:40,960
Speaker 1: touching a football. Bro It's the windless oh and eight Lions.

637
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:43,440
Speaker 1: Mason Rudolp's been with the franchise for three years at least, right,

638
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 1: Mason Rudolph is terrible. He's still been there with Cooper Rush.

639
00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:51,280
Speaker 1: Don't tell me backup quarterbacks cancer. Mike White steps in

640
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:55,040
Speaker 1: against the Bengals. Mike White is a legend for one game,

641
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:58,240
Speaker 1: legend in the New York media's mind. I'm sorry, I've

642
00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:00,400
Speaker 1: seen too many backup quarterbacks. By the way, yes, I know,

643
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:03,480
Speaker 1: Colte McCoy, Shad his pants against Carolina. But on the

644
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:06,160
Speaker 1: first one when you step in, it's like, oh wow,

645
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:08,200
Speaker 1: this is I mean, what you think The Lions all

646
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:10,400
Speaker 1: of a sudden had a Saturday night cram session to

647
00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:13,280
Speaker 1: get ready for Mason Rudolph. Like, I just I'm not

648
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:16,160
Speaker 1: buying it. If you've been with the franchise that long

649
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:18,400
Speaker 1: and you can't step in and do Jack squad against

650
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:21,680
Speaker 1: a windless Lions team, you stink. By the way. Also,

651
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:25,600
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh defense, the strong and mighty Pittsburgh defense gave

652
00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:28,560
Speaker 1: up two and twenty nine rushing yards to a bunch

653
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:32,000
Speaker 1: of guys. Honestly, Rob, I've you know, I play fantasy,

654
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:35,120
Speaker 1: I follow college football in the NFL. I don't even

655
00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:40,360
Speaker 1: know who this um Godwin Igua bick had it. One

656
00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:42,360
Speaker 1: of the most punished he went to Northwestern one of

657
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:46,240
Speaker 1: the most punishing touchdown runs. Steelers uh missed like six

658
00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:48,360
Speaker 1: tackles on the play, and then they had another guy

659
00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:50,280
Speaker 1: who broke off a long touchdown rod So the last

660
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:52,920
Speaker 1: name is Jefferson, and let me just call up his

661
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:56,000
Speaker 1: name because again there's another dude, like you can't have guys.

662
00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:59,840
Speaker 1: Jermar Jefferson seventh round pick out of Oregon State dudes

663
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:04,360
Speaker 1: coming in off the street basically breaking off twenty plus

664
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:08,680
Speaker 1: yard TV runs. That's embarrassing. This is a Steelers team, man,

665
00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:11,640
Speaker 1: I know people were excited about the potential and oh, well,

666
00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:15,320
Speaker 1: you know they showed well. Um, they beat the Bills,

667
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:18,879
Speaker 1: They beat the Seahawks. No, Russell Wilson for the fourth quarter,

668
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:20,840
Speaker 1: I believe um or no, do you know played that

669
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:22,480
Speaker 1: whole game? That's right? Do you know started that? It

670
00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:24,480
Speaker 1: was a Sunday night game. They beat the Browns. All

671
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:28,839
Speaker 1: these playoff teams as like, oh these guys are they're done.

672
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:30,799
Speaker 1: They still have two games against the Ravens. Not that

673
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:33,359
Speaker 1: the Ravens are great. They got Browns, they got Chiefs,

674
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:35,520
Speaker 1: they got Titans. I mean basically they played the two

675
00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:38,160
Speaker 1: best teams in the a f C. Now, I know

676
00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:41,480
Speaker 1: what you're thinking, Jason. You just told me when they're underdogs,

677
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:47,720
Speaker 1: they deliver. They will be dogs probably in both Ravens games,

678
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:51,840
Speaker 1: probably on the road in Minnesota, definitely against Tennessee and

679
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:53,879
Speaker 1: against the Chiefs. So does that mean they're gonna be like,

680
00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:57,719
Speaker 1: I don't know, five and one straight up in those No,

681
00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:00,600
Speaker 1: that doesn't. They will probably cover the spread, fight hard,

682
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:03,239
Speaker 1: but I don't think they're beating any of those teams. Um.

683
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:05,040
Speaker 1: I think the Steelers are probably gonna end up with

684
00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:08,200
Speaker 1: like seven wins max. And then you gotta start asking

685
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:10,920
Speaker 1: real hard questions like I just tried to give Jimmy

686
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:14,800
Speaker 1: g to Um. What team did I just try to

687
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:17,399
Speaker 1: give Jimmy G two Rob Cleveland? Yeah, I was trying

688
00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:20,000
Speaker 1: to get Maybe it's a an a f C North

689
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:24,759
Speaker 1: battle over Jimmy Jimmy Garoppolo um, because you got to

690
00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:27,239
Speaker 1: move on from Ben. And it's weird because there's several

691
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:29,000
Speaker 1: teams you need a quarterback. I'm sure you guys saw

692
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:31,400
Speaker 1: the news. Ryan Fitzpatrick done for the year in Washington.

693
00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:34,160
Speaker 1: He's not coming back, that's for sure. And I know

694
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:37,440
Speaker 1: Taylor Heineke had a nice win UM aided by like

695
00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:42,440
Speaker 1: a ship ton a metric ton of Tom Brady turnovers. UM.

696
00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:44,960
Speaker 1: But it's not like Taylor Heineke's gonna go in the

697
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:47,279
Speaker 1: next season as the starter. He's a backup. So now

698
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:54,080
Speaker 1: you got like Miami Carolina, UM, Pittsburgh, maybe Cleveland all

699
00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:55,800
Speaker 1: in the market for a quarterback, and it's like, Okay,

700
00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:58,160
Speaker 1: there's Deshaun Watson and Jimmy g and I just want

701
00:35:58,160 --> 00:35:59,880
Speaker 1: to point out to people who say Jimmy G stinks,

702
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:04,440
Speaker 1: go look at Ryan Tannehill in Miami before he got

703
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:07,480
Speaker 1: to Tennessee. Look up the stats. I mean, I watched

704
00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:09,759
Speaker 1: him closely because he's an ANFC East guy, and as

705
00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:12,200
Speaker 1: a Jets fan, I loved facing Ryan Tannehill because he

706
00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:15,319
Speaker 1: was a bad quarterback. But I'm sure Rob will point

707
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:19,359
Speaker 1: out that Adam Gaye was his coach, and I guess

708
00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:21,600
Speaker 1: the opposite is true with Jimmy G. Wait a second,

709
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:25,920
Speaker 1: this guy didn't put up big numbers with Kyle Shanahan,

710
00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:31,080
Speaker 1: and I'm supposed to make, you know, lemon lemonade out

711
00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:32,759
Speaker 1: of lemons with Jimmy G. I don't know if I

712
00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:34,560
Speaker 1: want him, so then it's gonna basically be just a

713
00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:37,120
Speaker 1: bidding war for Deshaun Watson, assuming he could get his

714
00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:40,120
Speaker 1: act together with those lawsuits. I don't know, man, What

715
00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:44,560
Speaker 1: about how about this one? Arthur Smith maybe not happy

716
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:47,920
Speaker 1: with matt Ryan probably get a high draft pick. Do

717
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:51,080
Speaker 1: the Falcons say thank you for your service? Matty Ice?

718
00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:53,560
Speaker 1: If you want to go end your career elsewhere, you

719
00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:55,040
Speaker 1: could do that. I don't know what's the market like

720
00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:58,960
Speaker 1: from Mattie Ice. If you're Cleveland, you jump all over

721
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:02,960
Speaker 1: Mattie Ice. He's the perfect game manager, right absolutely. I

722
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:05,200
Speaker 1: mean he was an m v P if memory serves,

723
00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:10,279
Speaker 1: And I also kind of feel like, yeah, Matt, Matt

724
00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:11,840
Speaker 1: this was not that long ago, right, Did they go

725
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:14,920
Speaker 1: to the super Bowl or something? Yeah, they were really

726
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:17,720
Speaker 1: really good. I mean he's one of the few Kyle

727
00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:24,960
Speaker 1: Shannaha's success stories. Extra shots. All right, Um, we've probably

728
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:28,799
Speaker 1: gone long enough. Do we miss anything, rob uh No,

729
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:30,400
Speaker 1: I mean you mentioned it quickly, but shout out to

730
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:34,239
Speaker 1: Cam Newton first two plays, happy, that's a story. That's

731
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:37,759
Speaker 1: very cool. Little redemption. You know, it's nice people. Oh,

732
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:41,840
Speaker 1: by the way, yes, undisputed from Friday. You know, people

733
00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:47,200
Speaker 1: thought I was being harsh on Cam, but the reality is, guys, yeah,

734
00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:51,040
Speaker 1: look at his age, look at the you know, passing

735
00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:54,000
Speaker 1: numbers the last last year with the Patriots. Look at

736
00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:56,799
Speaker 1: the shoulder surgeries that he's had. Look at the fact

737
00:37:56,800 --> 00:37:59,600
Speaker 1: that he was on the frigging market for nine weeks

738
00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:02,759
Speaker 1: and nobody touched him. And we just talked. We just

739
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:05,520
Speaker 1: went to thirty minutes of podcast about all these guys

740
00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:09,560
Speaker 1: desperate for quarterbacks and nobody wanted any part of Cam Newton.

741
00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:12,880
Speaker 1: So I like the story, it's great, but the reality is,

742
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:15,520
Speaker 1: don't start thinking that he's a starter next year. That's

743
00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:18,399
Speaker 1: just that's not happening. Fox Sports Radio has the best

751
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:49,520
Speaker 1: quick Fantasy note. Because I know you care about them,

752
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:53,400
Speaker 1: I lead my buddy Dan regular listener by one. I

753
00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:57,640
Speaker 1: have Deebo Samuel, he has Cooper Cup. Could be a

754
00:38:57,680 --> 00:39:00,520
Speaker 1: problem for me, although Deebo does get fair share of

755
00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:07,680
Speaker 1: carries and will oh b J take looks away from

756
00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:10,480
Speaker 1: Cooper Cup. Robert Woods, of course out for the season.

757
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:13,560
Speaker 1: That's a brutal loss. That's they lost two starters already

758
00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:18,480
Speaker 1: in cam Akers and Robert Woods for the season. So Odell,

759
00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:20,960
Speaker 1: I guess slides into the Robert Woods role, and I

760
00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:23,200
Speaker 1: you have to wonder, if you're the Niners, do you

761
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:28,200
Speaker 1: scheme up? Hey, let's pull a Belichick take away their

762
00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:32,359
Speaker 1: best option Cooper Cup, who runs amazing routes. I follow

763
00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:35,560
Speaker 1: this this account on Instagram. I think it's called Receiver

764
00:39:35,719 --> 00:39:38,880
Speaker 1: Factory or something like that, and just watching the footwork

765
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:40,960
Speaker 1: of these guys. They on their stories, they sometimes post

766
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:44,920
Speaker 1: some Cooper Cup stuff. I mean, his routes are just honestly,

767
00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:47,800
Speaker 1: I mean it's a football porn basically, the stuff Cooper

768
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:49,799
Speaker 1: Cup is able to do. And as soon as he

769
00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:52,480
Speaker 1: turns there's the quarterbacks trust him so much, whether it's

770
00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:55,480
Speaker 1: golf or Stafford, the ball is right there because they

771
00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:58,400
Speaker 1: know Cooper Cup is gonna be there. I really like

772
00:39:58,440 --> 00:39:59,960
Speaker 1: watching him, so it's tough for me to go against.

773
00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:04,319
Speaker 1: But I actually, and I know you guys are gonna

774
00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:06,360
Speaker 1: like this. I kind of sort of like San fran tonight.

775
00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:08,920
Speaker 1: I don't know, Rob, is that crazy? Were you on

776
00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:11,799
Speaker 1: this one? That's the worst betting advice you've ever got. There,

777
00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:13,759
Speaker 1: we get there, we go and like a year and

778
00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:15,319
Speaker 1: a half of doing the pot, I mean, I thought

779
00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:19,480
Speaker 1: you knew that. I believe San Francisco has lost eleven

780
00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:24,960
Speaker 1: of twelve at home, and so the rams I believe,

781
00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:26,960
Speaker 1: as of this morning, are only three and a half

782
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:30,919
Speaker 1: point favorites. I think that's the number. So you're you're

783
00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:34,600
Speaker 1: feeling confident. I didn't say anyth about feeling confident. I

784
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:38,080
Speaker 1: did not say anything about feeling confident. I think this

785
00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:41,959
Speaker 1: is going to be a not easy, but it's gonna

786
00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:46,399
Speaker 1: be a clear Rams victory. Give me the Rams. Uh,

787
00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:48,399
Speaker 1: you know, minus the three and a half on the road.

788
00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:51,920
Speaker 1: Jimmy g is going to get his h pack his bags,

789
00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:53,920
Speaker 1: get ready to move to the Midwest somewhere during the

790
00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:55,840
Speaker 1: off season. It's going to be good for them. So

791
00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:58,839
Speaker 1: here's the thing. And again from a gambling perspective, three

792
00:40:58,840 --> 00:41:04,520
Speaker 1: and a half okay, the house will absolutely need the

793
00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:07,279
Speaker 1: forty Niners big because you saw last week. I mean,

794
00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:09,920
Speaker 1: the forty Niners were awful. The Rams didn't look great

795
00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:12,400
Speaker 1: at themselves, but the forty Niners were awful against Coldblcoy.

796
00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:16,279
Speaker 1: And then you're like, oh, man, who is betting the

797
00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:19,799
Speaker 1: forty Niners? Is anyone anyone out there touching the forty

798
00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:21,640
Speaker 1: Niners at home? You just said it. They lost eleven

799
00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:24,880
Speaker 1: of twelve at home. Who's touching him? And then you

800
00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:28,480
Speaker 1: dig just a little deeper and you're saying, oh, oh,

801
00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:38,520
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan has owned McVeigh last four meetings, Niners, Niner,

802
00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:45,120
Speaker 1: Niners one, Niners seven. I was actually at the seven game,

803
00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:49,440
Speaker 1: and you just start like, huh is there? You know

804
00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:52,319
Speaker 1: that division is weird, Rob. There are quirky matchups. Were like,

805
00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:57,160
Speaker 1: I think it's the ram Zone, the Seahawks, the Ramson,

806
00:41:57,280 --> 00:42:00,200
Speaker 1: the Niners, but for some reason the Rams like Aunt

807
00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:03,200
Speaker 1: beat Arizona. I forget exactly what it is, but that

808
00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:06,279
Speaker 1: division had some oddities. They got four good coaches, four

809
00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:09,960
Speaker 1: good quarterbacks, four good teams. But if you're Kyle Shanhan,

810
00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:11,640
Speaker 1: you remember Peter King came on here and said, this

811
00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:14,120
Speaker 1: is Shanahan's last stand basically against the Bears. And what

812
00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:16,000
Speaker 1: do they do? They went in there and beat up

813
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:19,440
Speaker 1: on the Bears. Now, I know that's easier said than done, Um,

814
00:42:19,560 --> 00:42:22,720
Speaker 1: but they were favors and they covered. Well, this feels

815
00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:27,600
Speaker 1: like it's Kyle Shanahan's last stand, part du doesn't it, Um,

816
00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:30,279
Speaker 1: unless he's already fired. I don't think they're expected to

817
00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:32,360
Speaker 1: win this game anyways, So I don't think this is

818
00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:34,480
Speaker 1: one of those hey you better get this done like

819
00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:37,480
Speaker 1: they were against Chicago. You know, I think that UM

820
00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:39,680
Speaker 1: and and and as much as I'm you know, I'm

821
00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:42,160
Speaker 1: critical of Matthew Stafford as much as anybody, but he's

822
00:42:42,200 --> 00:42:46,040
Speaker 1: a huge upgrade from Jared Goff. So I think that

823
00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:50,400
Speaker 1: it would behoove you if you're listening to this podcast

824
00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:57,279
Speaker 1: and not put money on San Francisco. Okay, just saying so,

825
00:42:57,280 --> 00:42:59,560
Speaker 1: so you like the Rams, will give me let's put

826
00:42:59,560 --> 00:43:03,799
Speaker 1: a score on it. Uh let me get fifty. By

827
00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:15,120
Speaker 1: the way, let me get the Rams. Uh two six.

828
00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:18,320
Speaker 1: I should probably check the weather and crappy San Francisco.

829
00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:21,640
Speaker 1: It's always the weather is always like a massive rainstorm

830
00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:24,560
Speaker 1: or just like it's just never good there. I like

831
00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:27,880
Speaker 1: the city, although you know, the homeless situation there sounds

832
00:43:27,880 --> 00:43:30,239
Speaker 1: like it's getting really bad. Some of these news reports.

833
00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:34,200
Speaker 1: Um and the injuries. I'm sure you saw, um Josh

834
00:43:34,239 --> 00:43:37,279
Speaker 1: Norman one of the worst cornerbacks in the league. Like

835
00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:39,960
Speaker 1: go again, if you have pro football focus, go look

836
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:42,120
Speaker 1: at their defense. You've got orange all over the place.

837
00:43:42,160 --> 00:43:45,320
Speaker 1: I think they're among the lead leaders and miss tackles

838
00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:47,200
Speaker 1: right there with the Ravens. Like this is just I mean,

839
00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:50,759
Speaker 1: they've lost so many guys to injury. I just I

840
00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:55,000
Speaker 1: don't see why anyone will back them. And that's why

841
00:43:55,080 --> 00:43:56,880
Speaker 1: I kind of will back them. Now again, this is

842
00:43:56,880 --> 00:44:02,000
Speaker 1: not gonna be I'm not putting like five dollars on

843
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:04,680
Speaker 1: on the Niners in this spot, No way, no shot. Uh.

844
00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:07,839
Speaker 1: It will be a small play and action play, um,

845
00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:10,000
Speaker 1: and I think the Niners deliver. So I'm taking three

846
00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:14,080
Speaker 1: and a half. Later this afternoon, I will get the

847
00:44:14,120 --> 00:44:17,000
Speaker 1: props on I G stories. I'm getting my booster shot

848
00:44:17,080 --> 00:44:20,600
Speaker 1: today and if all goes well, there's a chance I

849
00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:23,640
Speaker 1: might be at the Lakers game tonight. But there's also

850
00:44:24,600 --> 00:44:26,520
Speaker 1: a lot going on, a lot going on heading into

851
00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:29,680
Speaker 1: getting ready for the holidays. Um, but this is a

852
00:44:29,719 --> 00:44:33,360
Speaker 1: long Monday pod, Rob, and good luck with getting We'll go.

853
00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:35,800
Speaker 1: We're going head to head on this one, Niners Rams,

854
00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:39,200
Speaker 1: and then uh come back tomorrow. Folks will have more

855
00:44:39,239 --> 00:44:41,200
Speaker 1: great stuff here on Straight Fire. See you then,
