Speaker 1: With three and out from each side. Thomas Morstead has
Speaker 1: had in some ways his best year at thirty seven
Speaker 1: years old. Drives Darius Davis back and a pretty good return.
Speaker 2: Goods.
Speaker 3: Turning to great Darius Davis, he is gone.
Speaker 4: There are no flags.
Speaker 3: On the field and those are the first points on
Speaker 3: this Monday night touchdown.
Speaker 1: For the rookie Eckler.
Speaker 3: The touchdown machine is in and the Chargers add to
Speaker 3: their lead, pour down and go and shut out of
Speaker 3: the end zone. That's fitting right, there is Conklin. No
Speaker 3: touchdowns allowed tonight by the Chargers, and the Chargers.
Speaker 1: Will take over on downs.
Speaker 3: Derwin James is fired up big night for this LA defense.
Speaker 2: Some games it takes everything you got, you leave part
Speaker 2: of yourself on the field, and you're okay with that
Speaker 2: because that's what.
Speaker 5: It took to emerge victorious, to be a winner.
Speaker 2: Then there are games like what we witnessed at the Metalwlands,
Speaker 2: a game where you know the bare minimum will do.
Speaker 2: All you have to do is show up, put forth
Speaker 2: a professional effort, and then the other team will just
Speaker 2: self emolate right before your very eyes enter. The Los
Speaker 2: Angeles Chargers, who got an early punt return, took advantage
Speaker 2: of some turnovers by a miserable Jets offense and cruise
Speaker 2: to a twenty seven to six win on Monday Night Football.
Speaker 2: A woful contest in terms of unless you're a Chargers fan,
Speaker 2: in terms of football entertainment. In what's the first of
Speaker 2: a run of not so high primetime games, Dan Hans
Speaker 2: is here with Greg rosehal Mark Sessler. Obviously, you guys know,
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna be happy about this game as I
Speaker 2: talk about it. But for the Chargers, it's another nice
Speaker 2: win for them in primetime. Even if it wasn't overly impressive,
Speaker 2: they end up winning by over twenty points, so it
Speaker 2: ain't all bad.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 4: It was crazy this whole game, thinking I can't believe
Speaker 4: they're only up by this much. But then you would
Speaker 4: look at Justin Herbert's numbers, and you would look at
Speaker 4: Zach Wilson's numbers, and they were exactly the same, except
Speaker 4: one takes a ton of sacks and one fumbles and
Speaker 4: one turns in a bad place to worst plays, and
Speaker 4: that's Zack Wilson. It wasn't Justin Herbert. But I do
Speaker 4: think you got to give the Chargers defense some credits, like, oh,
Speaker 4: they played the Bears. All they played. The Bears played
Speaker 4: two good offensive games sandwiched around that one where they
Speaker 4: dominated as bad as the Jets offense has been. And
Speaker 4: they've only topped three hundred yards in a game twice.
Speaker 4: So this wasn't, you know, the whole season, So this
Speaker 4: wasn't totally out of the ordin This is the least
Speaker 4: they've scored, this is the most sacks that Zach Wilson
Speaker 4: has taken. They turned the ball over three times, and
Speaker 4: they're getting good play from Joey Bosa, Khalil Mack and
Speaker 4: Tully Polozu. So it's been such a bad Chargers defense
Speaker 4: for so long under Staley that even the last month
Speaker 4: where they've they've looked pretty good. It's it's baby steps,
Speaker 4: but it's something for them to at least feel like
Speaker 4: maybe they got a future.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think you're right. I mean, it's like it's
Speaker 6: much easier to focus on, you know. And I think
Speaker 6: Troy Aikman was doing this, like what is happening with
Speaker 6: the Jets and why it's not working? It's so obvious
Speaker 6: to us all. But what I see is like another
Speaker 6: one of these examples. There's a couple teams out there
Speaker 6: like this where it's like you've got a Jets defense
Speaker 6: that held a good Chargers offense to one hundred and
Speaker 6: ninety one total yards at three point four yards per carry.
Speaker 6: They looked helpless, and it's like there's two This Jets
Speaker 6: team is split right down the middle, and it's cracked
Speaker 6: like an egg because the other side of the all
Speaker 6: can't do it's it's it's part. And I just felt
Speaker 6: like the cutaways to Robert Solid tonight, it was a
Speaker 6: man a drift, and I think it's it's fair for
Speaker 6: him to feel that way. It's also fair to look
Speaker 6: at an organization that Dan, I think you tweeted about
Speaker 6: this did nothing about the quarterback position before the trade deadline,
Speaker 6: maybe overly loyal to the concept of Zach Wilson. I
Speaker 6: think even a week ago, it's like you went into
Speaker 6: this game saying, he's improving, there's hope here, there's X,
Speaker 6: Y and Z. But it came to fruition tonight where
Speaker 6: that's just simply not going to you know, it's not
Speaker 6: going to carry you through the rest of this season,
Speaker 6: And like, my hope for the Jets is damaged a
Speaker 6: little because of what we saw tonight. It's it's I
Speaker 6: don't know what to say. I feel like we've run
Speaker 6: through all the narratives on Zach Wilson, We've run through
Speaker 6: the narratives on this offense, and it's like, what do
Speaker 6: you say at this point?
Speaker 2: I mean, I've been yelling about it for weeks that
Speaker 2: it's absurd and it's embarrassing that they did not protect
Speaker 2: themselves after Aaron Rodgers went down, knowing what they had
Speaker 2: seen two years from Zach Wilson, that he's ineffective quarterback, way.
Speaker 5: In over his head.
Speaker 2: And then you look around the league and you see
Speaker 2: what Tyson bage It has done for Chicago, which is
Speaker 2: like move the ball at least. And you look at
Speaker 2: what Josh Doobbs just did from Minnesota, a guy that
Speaker 2: they got, you know, moved I think from pick two
Speaker 2: hundred to two twenty to get Dobbs in that building.
Speaker 2: And then you look at a team like the Jets
Speaker 2: that sat on their hands at the trade deadline, did
Speaker 2: not react after the stunning Rogers injury. And that's not
Speaker 2: all I thought. This game, all the Jets' warts were
Speaker 2: on clear display in front of the national audience. And
Speaker 2: if you've been listening to the show and paying attention,
Speaker 2: Like I haven't been a cheerleader about this Jets team
Speaker 2: the last few weeks, even though they were on a
Speaker 2: winning streak. I don't believe Robert Sala is a difference
Speaker 2: maker as a head coach. I don't believe that Nathaniel
Speaker 2: Hackett is a guy that should be an offensive coordinator
Speaker 2: if Aaron Rodgers isn't his quarterback. I don't believe the
Speaker 2: offensive line is competitive with these injuries. And I don't
Speaker 2: believe Zach Wilson is somebody that's going to take them
Speaker 2: to the playoffs because he's gonna just keep killing him.
Speaker 2: And I was getting into some Twitter skirmishes with Jets
Speaker 2: fans because there's a faction of Jets fans that will
Speaker 2: defend Zach Wilson because they're drinking the kool aid that
Speaker 2: Joe Douglas and Robert Sala, who I do not feel
Speaker 2: bad for because he's played.
Speaker 5: A part in this.
Speaker 2: Zach Wilson is secretly getting better a campaign that is
Speaker 2: totally bs that you can't just look at what's happening
Speaker 2: here and blame everything on Zach Wilson.
Speaker 5: That's what they'll tell you.
Speaker 2: And that's fair because the offensive line is weighing over
Speaker 2: its head. But at the same time, a lot of
Speaker 2: things go back to the quarterback. And Greg I thought
Speaker 2: you put it well at the top, like there are
Speaker 2: quarterbacks who can take a bad situation and make them better.
Speaker 2: There's bad quarter There are types of quarterbacks that take
Speaker 2: a bad situation and things stay level, and then there's
Speaker 2: the Zach Wilson's who are in a bad situation and
Speaker 2: make things worse. And you saw that clear on clear display.
Speaker 2: Even though he didn't throw interceptions, he did everything else poorly.
Speaker 2: And Troy Aikman is going nuts for the second time
Speaker 2: on Monday Night Football in three months this year. Absolutely
Speaker 2: you could hear him pulling his hair out because he
Speaker 2: cannot watch this guy play at this level.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I started writing down some of like the sarcastic
Speaker 4: Troy Aikman bits. There was one thing coming out of
Speaker 4: halftime and he said, well, you know, you would think
Speaker 4: they'll improve in the second half. He's like, you would
Speaker 4: think the law of averages would say they would. And
Speaker 4: on that play where Zach Wilson spun out of a sack,
Speaker 4: which one of the only times on that he spun
Speaker 4: out of it, and it looked like he was going
Speaker 4: to make a nice play, but then he misses the
Speaker 4: easy throw to the sideline. He's like, he did the
Speaker 4: hard part, you know, just like through throughout the game,
Speaker 4: he said, He's like, I probably don't need to tell you,
Speaker 4: you know, when it was a fourth down that they
Speaker 4: struggle on this down too, and you could hear the
Speaker 4: frustration from Troy. And that's a fun Troy Aikman. But
Speaker 4: I'm sure it's not a fun broadcast to be a
Speaker 4: Jets fan list, but you're also sharing it. I think
Speaker 4: the comparison between him and Herbert is interesting tonight because
Speaker 4: Herbert didn't make many big plays. Herbert's numbers are are woeful,
Speaker 4: sixteen for thirty for one thirty six. It was one
Speaker 4: of the worst days of Herbert's career. But he knows
Speaker 4: how to manage a game. He saw what this game was.
Speaker 4: He realized he just needs to avoid sacks, avoid mistakes.
Speaker 4: The Jets hit him nine times in the first half,
Speaker 4: thirteen times overall, and so he took five sacks. That's
Speaker 4: a lot of sacks, actually, but Jack Wilson was hit
Speaker 4: seven times. He took six sacks.
Speaker 6: He fumbled it.
Speaker 4: He made a lot of bad situations worse, and Herbert
Speaker 4: saw where he was. He was gifted good field position
Speaker 4: and he was gifted the punt return. And he was
Speaker 4: just playing the game as if like I need to
Speaker 4: just lamd this ship without making any big mistakes and
Speaker 4: get out of here with a win. And that's what
Speaker 4: he did.
Speaker 2: And in fairness, Herbert did on one of his sacks
Speaker 2: also fumbled the ball, but they had some.
Speaker 4: He had one near interception too.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was a good game he played. I mean,
Speaker 2: gret Mark the Jets defense. You know, it's only a
Speaker 2: matter of time now before you start hearing stories about
Speaker 2: this Jets defense really starting to bubble over with frustration
Speaker 2: because of the offense. It happened last year and now
Speaker 2: it's just a matter of time because that was a
Speaker 2: very embarrassing loss despite them playing very well.
Speaker 6: Right, Like the DNA is already there, like this this
Speaker 6: happened a year ago, and like I think the most
Speaker 6: frustrating thing is that that felt like a bad dream.
Speaker 6: You're back in it. There's this mythological concept that Aaron
Speaker 6: Rodgers will come back at this point, But you know
Speaker 6: what I wonder, like in another parallel universe, like how
Speaker 6: different would this be because I look at this offensive
Speaker 6: line and I think that's one of the biggest problems here.
Speaker 6: Obviously it's been a disaster, like Billy Turner was destroyed tonight,
Speaker 6: but they've had about three hundred and seventy eight line combinations,
Speaker 6: and it's fair to wonder if Aaron Rodgers wouldn't have
Speaker 6: suffered behind that too, it would be a better like
Speaker 6: ecosystem in general. But it's a terrible situation for a
Speaker 6: young quarterback. And I don't think you know, fight adding
Speaker 6: these wide receivers that Aaron Rodgers wanted to pluck from
Speaker 6: the universe, Like it's not a great wide receiver group
Speaker 6: beyond Garrett Wilson, and it's just like this side of
Speaker 6: the ball is a drift at sea, totally lost. And
Speaker 6: you've got this defense that feels to me like one
Speaker 6: of the greatest wasted defenses that we've seen in the
Speaker 6: last decade, because they can what they did to Justin
Speaker 6: Herbert tonight is extremely notable, and what they've been doing
Speaker 6: to quarterbacks week after week is notable. And it's like
Speaker 6: it's getting lost in the shuffle of one of the
Speaker 6: worst offenses that we witnessed.
Speaker 2: I'm Glad you said that, Mark, because you're right, this
Speaker 2: is not a super Bowl team, even with Aaron Rodgers
Speaker 2: healthy because of the offensive line and again, Nathaniel Hackett,
Speaker 2: like Billy Turner, is getting lit up over and over
Speaker 2: and over on that right side, and at no point
Speaker 2: do they change anything to help him out or take
Speaker 2: him out of the game, and they just expect things
Speaker 2: to get better. And you're right, Rogers did pave the
Speaker 2: way for Randall Cobb being on this team, who was
Speaker 2: mercifully phased out finally after the bye. He was the
Speaker 2: worst wide receiver in the league by some metrics, and
Speaker 2: Alan Lazard has not been their number two. There was
Speaker 2: reporting out there that Devonte Adams was some of they
Speaker 2: were hot for above ahead of the trade deadline. But Greg,
Speaker 2: to your point about pushing the trade deadline back a week,
Speaker 2: I think there was some bad luck there with what
Speaker 2: was going on with the Raiders at that moment. But
Speaker 2: that also tells you that the Jets understand a couple
Speaker 2: of things. That Lazard is not a number two, that
Speaker 2: the Cob is not a real slot receiver, and now
Speaker 2: I hope they're learning that Zach Wilson is not a quarterback.
Speaker 2: But I'm gonna guess, as we throw to some Robert
Speaker 2: solid postgame sound, that he still believes in the kid
Speaker 2: and there is room for growth.
Speaker 5: Rob take it away.
Speaker 6: Was this a step back for Zach Robert?
Speaker 7: I don't know if you can say step back. You know,
Speaker 7: there's like I said, there's it's all encompassing. Like you know,
Speaker 7: obviously he's gonna want some things that he wishes he
Speaker 7: could have done better, you know, from him from protection
Speaker 7: the it's just a little bit of everything.
Speaker 5: It's just.
Speaker 7: One of those bizarre games. It's just every time we
Speaker 7: had momentum, like I said, just a self inflicted wound wound.
Speaker 7: Was it his best game? Obviously not. Was it his
Speaker 7: worst game? No, I'm not gonna say it was even
Speaker 7: close to his worst game.
Speaker 6: Wait a minute, like that emphatically says it's not even
Speaker 6: close to his worst game.
Speaker 4: Some of those bad games, like they were pretty bad.
Speaker 5: Sala Is not sala Is.
Speaker 2: I don't know if is he not smart enough to
Speaker 2: see it? Maybe he's just the wool is over his
Speaker 2: eyes here, But if he's packing up his stuff in
Speaker 2: a box in January, uh, it's gonna be because he
Speaker 2: was not he was complicit and how this all has
Speaker 2: gone down after Rogers' injury.
Speaker 4: I mean, well, they're not good at a quarterback evaluation
Speaker 4: by any logical metric, you know, just because they got
Speaker 4: in with Zach Wilson that ended up being a bad pick.
Speaker 4: A lot of teams I think would have made it,
Speaker 4: but sticking with him last year and versus you know,
Speaker 4: like the Mike Whites of the world and stuff, and
Speaker 4: sticking with them through that and the way that they
Speaker 4: didn't get anyone this year. But when you start the game,
Speaker 4: I just even think, like back to that first drive,
Speaker 4: like these things kind of let you know what kind
Speaker 4: of Zach Wilson knight it's gonna be. The very first
Speaker 4: throw was like to the moon. It wasn't even close
Speaker 4: to his receiver. And then the next very next throw
Speaker 4: almost got his receiver killed. And those are like the
Speaker 4: first dude throws. And I just felt even in that
Speaker 4: moments like, oh, it's gonna be one of those nights.
Speaker 4: And the Charters defense feels it. You almost can see
Speaker 4: the teams love to play the Jets because Joey Bosa
Speaker 4: and Mac and Tula Pilotu like they can rack up
Speaker 4: sack numbers. The secondary, which has been a disaster this year,
Speaker 4: can fly around and make big hits. I think Alloie
Speaker 4: Gillman does add something to this team. He came back
Speaker 4: last week and he's a real player there at safety.
Speaker 4: But there there's kind of a frenzy of like, ooh,
Speaker 4: we can really tee off. I haven't seen a charge
Speaker 4: of defense. I can even do that against bad defenses
Speaker 4: in a while. So that's that's progress. But I think
Speaker 4: it gives a defense a lot of confidence when you
Speaker 4: just start the game like that.
Speaker 6: And Dan, I think it's ominous that all this was
Speaker 6: taking place while Arnold Schwarzenegger was introducing the nation and
Speaker 6: an international audience to his pet Donkey. It just seemed
Speaker 6: like too many things were happening at once here.
Speaker 2: You know, I'll take this step further. Even before that
Speaker 2: first series, Greg, they showed Wilson coming out of the
Speaker 2: tunnel before kickoff, and it's it's like, this is not
Speaker 2: a starting quarterback who's going to be successful.
Speaker 5: I'm not gonna say he looks scared. He just looked.
Speaker 2: He just looked like he was about a million miles
Speaker 2: away from New Jersey and certainly not someone that was
Speaker 2: about to step on the field and make plays, and
Speaker 2: he didn't. And I just I want because I think
Speaker 2: these things get flattened out and it's gonna be like, oh,
Speaker 2: you know, you're just saying everything's on the quarterback. It's
Speaker 2: not only on the quarterback. There are a lot of
Speaker 2: things wrong with this team. To Mark's point, I think
Speaker 2: one thing that's been made clear, uh, through these eight
Speaker 2: weeks is that the Jets offense was flawed in a
Speaker 2: lot of ways. And Rogers I don't think was gonna
Speaker 2: ride in and make this a top ten offense. I
Speaker 2: think that would have been a storyline around this team
Speaker 2: if he was there. But even if he doesn't blow
Speaker 2: his achilles on the fourth play, which is just rotten luck,
Speaker 2: what's the chances he's healthy at this point of the
Speaker 2: season with this offensive line, which was started out as
Speaker 2: a question mark, then it got snowed under by injury.
Speaker 2: So I just I struggle to take the Jets seriously.
Speaker 2: They might hang around because of that defense and steal
Speaker 2: a couple more games, but this is what it looks
Speaker 2: like when they the defense, as good as it played today,
Speaker 2: didn't have those big turnovers. This is what it can
Speaker 2: look like because the offense is that bad. And it
Speaker 2: was just as bad last week against the Giants. Uh,
Speaker 2: And I don't give them any automatics going further, going
Speaker 2: further next week, what it's gonna be Billy Turner against
Speaker 2: Max Crosby.
Speaker 5: Good luck to that, Good luck man.
Speaker 4: You don't want Yeah, you don't want to lose to
Speaker 4: Pierce and O'Connell. But who knows. They're a team that
Speaker 4: I feel like is going to be in every game.
Speaker 4: And despite the final score, they were in this That's
Speaker 4: the crazy thing about it is they held Justin Herbert
Speaker 4: in the Chargers, so I know have been struggling. I
Speaker 4: think it's fair to say the Chargers aren't a good
Speaker 4: offense at this point.
Speaker 5: I can't take them seriously either.
Speaker 4: They were a good offense. Yeah, for the first month
Speaker 4: of the season. They've lost Mike Williams, they've lost Joshua Palmer,
Speaker 4: and they haven't been a good offense now for about
Speaker 4: five weeks. So that's a pretty long stretch here. They
Speaker 4: had the good, pretty good game against the Bears, but
Speaker 4: even that was like a half, and it was against
Speaker 4: the Bears, but they held Herbert to three point four
Speaker 4: or the Charges to three point four yards per play.
Speaker 4: It was actually better when they ran the ball. It
Speaker 4: was three point one yards per pass per dropback there
Speaker 4: for the Chargers, so like they got one drive, it
Speaker 4: was an eight minute drive at the end of the
Speaker 4: third quarter into the fourth quarter where they hit four
Speaker 4: straight third and it felt like old school Chargers in
Speaker 4: that it was like run two yards, run negative one yards.
Speaker 4: And then Herbert hits a nice throw on third and nine,
Speaker 4: and they did that for about three throws and then
Speaker 4: Keenan Allen made the one exciting offensive play of the
Speaker 4: night with that jumping catch and great a great Charger
Speaker 4: goes over ten thousand yards for his career, which is
Speaker 4: pretty cool, second all time in team history. He has
Speaker 4: said he really wants to pass Antonio Gates. He's got
Speaker 4: a shot to do it. He would probably have to
Speaker 4: play two more years. Like that was the nicest offensive
Speaker 4: moment of the night. But then that was it, and they,
Speaker 4: you know, their drives stopped right there too, like most
Speaker 4: of their drives stopped. The difference was they weren't like
Speaker 4: giving up twenty yards and getting blown out of field
Speaker 4: goal range. They would just stay in field goal range
Speaker 4: and they would hit their little field goal and they
Speaker 4: only scored thirteen points on offense.
Speaker 2: It was the feeling when you're as you're watching the game,
Speaker 2: like the Chargers were like almost like will hunting on
Speaker 2: the chalkboard, trying to figure out some type of equation,
Speaker 2: what that will allow them to let the Jets back
Speaker 2: in the game, and they were just like, we can't.
Speaker 2: We want to charge of this and make it come
Speaker 2: down to the last drive, but there's no mathematical possibility
Speaker 2: that the Jets as they're currently constituted right now will
Speaker 2: make this interesting. So they're like, all right, I guess
Speaker 2: we'll just win twenty seven.
Speaker 6: I I with you. I mean I thought, I honestly
Speaker 6: thought that, Like I don't recall too many games where
Speaker 6: I thought that. Justin Herbert, I mean, he was floating
Speaker 6: through a dark dream during the first part of this.
Speaker 6: It's like, that's what's so frustrating to me. It's like,
Speaker 6: great for Keenan Allen, I'm happy for him, but that's
Speaker 6: what the Chargers are. It's like these these benchmark statistical
Speaker 6: moments for these players, the team achieves nothing on the whole,
Speaker 6: and like justin Herbert tonight, like this is what's so
Speaker 6: frustrating about this experience. The Jets defense took a great
Speaker 6: quarterback and made them look completely lost for big chunks
Speaker 6: of this game and it amounts to nothing. I just
Speaker 6: find that so frustrating. Like, I mean, we haven't seen
Speaker 6: I had not seen a game with Justin Herbert at
Speaker 6: the helm like that, and the Jets can do that,
Speaker 6: and they've done that to multiple quarterbacks and that's where
Speaker 6: we're left, and it's like, you know what, Sorry, it's
Speaker 6: like it's with no one's a lot of say thing
Speaker 6: about Nathaniel Hackett now because it was unpopular what happened
Speaker 6: to him a couple of months ago, but like, where
Speaker 6: is the creativity help this tee?
Speaker 5: You could you could criticize it, and well, I know.
Speaker 6: I know, you know what I mean. Though, it's like
Speaker 6: I thought that was it was way too severe, like
Speaker 6: when it happened, and like he's he's he seems like
Speaker 6: a wonderful guy. So it's like it's not the first
Speaker 6: person I want to like take aim At. I just
Speaker 6: want to fly around like a butterfly exactly like I
Speaker 6: like him. But like there's just there's just like no answer.
Speaker 5: He's many problems with that offense, no doubt, So I
Speaker 5: don't want to.
Speaker 6: I don't want to keep going on the same road.
Speaker 6: But it's just like it's so frustrating to watch a
Speaker 6: great NFL defense, which is very rare in twenty twenty three,
Speaker 6: capsized and left on an island the way they are.
Speaker 4: I know, when when it was Huff and Jermaine Johnson,
Speaker 4: I was thinking, I'm with you, maybe Salah's not a
Speaker 4: difference making coach, but I was thinking of the difference
Speaker 4: between him and Staley, who were hired the same year.
Speaker 4: They're both third year head coaches, both a little n battled,
Speaker 4: could you know, use a playoff run or a nice season,
Speaker 4: and at least Sala like you see his imprint. You
Speaker 4: see what they are. You see the vision on defense,
Speaker 4: and you see that they were able to build that
Speaker 4: vision and a lot of it's with you know, new
Speaker 4: players like Johnson and Huff has become a good player
Speaker 4: under him, and it's like they have something that's his.
Speaker 4: Staley is a defensive coach and you're you're not really
Speaker 4: sure what he is because their offense is always changing
Speaker 4: and like so Salah has something.
Speaker 5: To hold on to.
Speaker 4: The problem is that their offensive line is the what
Speaker 4: their GM is trying to build and that's been a
Speaker 4: total disaster four years in. I guess, and you know
Speaker 4: that's it.
Speaker 2: My salad thing is more. I think he's a little
Speaker 2: more sizzle than steak. I think one guy doesn't get
Speaker 2: enough credit is Jeff Olbrick, their defensive coordinator, And they
Speaker 2: have so much talent on that side of the ball. Like,
Speaker 2: if the defense wasn't balling out, Sala would be the
Speaker 2: worst coach.
Speaker 5: In the league.
Speaker 2: But I just think his leadership, I don't know, sometimes
Speaker 2: at least something that be his And I like these
Speaker 2: they are dreadful. They're even worse than the Giants in
Speaker 2: the first quarter in terms of scoring opposition They're they're
Speaker 2: minus three trillion about And I don't know. I just
Speaker 2: think there's a lot to be concerned about right now
Speaker 2: where we are this Monday night. Is a Jets fan,
Speaker 2: there's a lot to be concerned about. The only the
Speaker 2: only good thing before we take a break, The only
Speaker 2: thing I could take out of tonight is like Jets
Speaker 2: fan misery, big w over Chargers gonna Chargers Nation, Like
Speaker 2: in terms of like what it sucks to be uh,
Speaker 2: it definitely sucks way worse to be a Jets fan
Speaker 2: than a Chargers fan at least tonight. Tonight we got
Speaker 2: that w take that Charger is gonna Charger. We showed
Speaker 2: you what it's really all about to be miserable just
Speaker 2: in the season.
Speaker 5: Baby damn. Let's take a break. All right? That was great.
Speaker 5: I love that We're.
Speaker 2: Gonna keep on talking football, So let's move and hit
Speaker 2: some news. What happened in the NFL since we last
Speaker 2: spoke with you. And by the way, before we get
Speaker 2: to the news, every Monday, we do an NFL Plus
Speaker 2: Game of the Week special and you could get that
Speaker 2: on NFL Plus with a subscription here in the states.
Speaker 2: Outside the country, I believe we're on Doaz own. I
Speaker 2: hope we're on his own. We better be on his own.
Speaker 4: Tell us if you're watching us on his zonne, let
Speaker 4: us know.
Speaker 5: Yes, please let us know.
Speaker 2: We broke down the Eagles versus Cowboys banger and watched
Speaker 2: it and had a good mark.
Speaker 5: We had a good time doing it, didn't we.
Speaker 6: I think that it's, you know, an exercise that we've
Speaker 6: been working on weekly. I thought today was the most
Speaker 6: fun yet. And it was a thorny game with lots
Speaker 6: of plot points, and you know, we went at it
Speaker 6: in multiple ways.
Speaker 4: So like those two teams definitely feel like they're in
Speaker 4: a different league than the Chargers and the Jets, and
Speaker 4: they are. They're in a league of like teams that
Speaker 4: could win the Super Bowl. And that was now what
Speaker 4: we saw tonight.
Speaker 5: True contenders.
Speaker 2: Correct, And this is actually a free trial week for
Speaker 2: NFL Plus, so you can access that. We'll send out
Speaker 2: a link on atn's handle. All right, let's start with
Speaker 2: the Cardinals. Head coach Jonathan Gannon said, Kyler Murray will
Speaker 2: start in Week ten against the Falcons. That from our
Speaker 2: own Omar Ruiz or buddy, what a good guy Omar is.
Speaker 2: If all goes well in practice this week, that's the one,
Speaker 2: you know disclaimer there, as long as he doesn't have
Speaker 2: a setback with his knee, he's going to take reps
Speaker 2: with the starters and he will make his debut against
Speaker 2: the Falcons.
Speaker 6: Mark your thoughts, well, I just I you know, for me,
Speaker 6: I came into the season thinking he might be traded,
Speaker 6: They might find a way to cajole us into believing
Speaker 6: that there was a reason to sit him the entire
Speaker 6: season because of their tank situation. But you know what
Speaker 6: they have like already two number one picks and a
Speaker 6: second and I think three thirds and a fourth and
Speaker 6: multiple fifths, so they're well stocked. And I think if
Speaker 6: any from another angle, if you're Jonathan Gannon, you're the
Speaker 6: coaching staff, like a post Cliff Kingsbury view at what
Speaker 6: Kyler Murray can be in this offense, with this team,
Speaker 6: with this roster is good self scouting. And from another angle,
Speaker 6: if he plays well, if you wanted to move on,
Speaker 6: like move on from him and like pick up a
Speaker 6: different quarterback in the draft, you can elevate his trade
Speaker 6: value if he plays well. So I kind of see
Speaker 6: from another angle competitive angle, because the Cardinals have from
Speaker 6: the beginning sort of said we're gonna try to win
Speaker 6: these games. Are roster is not going to allow us
Speaker 6: to do that. But I think about a month end
Speaker 6: of the year, I was like, yeah, I think they're
Speaker 6: gonna play Kyler Murray. And I think as soon as
Speaker 6: they feel he's ready to go, let's go for the
Speaker 6: ride and see where we end wind up. In January.
Speaker 4: It's at an interesting time though I did not necessarily
Speaker 4: think Kyler Murray was gonna play this year, and I'm
Speaker 4: glad to be proven wrong. Maybe those cynical thought. They
Speaker 4: have the number one overall picked as of this recording,
Speaker 4: and there's two quarterback prospects in this class, Kayleb Williams
Speaker 4: and Drake May that you know coming into the draft
Speaker 4: are probably going to be higher touted than any quarterback
Speaker 4: of the last two years, at least, like they would
Speaker 4: have been higher than In Stroud and Bryce Young. And
Speaker 4: they're real deal one two type of guys. Kyler Murray
Speaker 4: is probably good enough to get them out of that
Speaker 4: top two where they won't even have a chance to
Speaker 4: necessary to take us. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe it won't be.
Speaker 4: This team is pretty rough and they're pretty injured. Their
Speaker 4: running backs are all injured, Michael Wilson, they're nice rookie
Speaker 4: receivers injured, Zach Ertz is injured. Like it's a terrible defense.
Speaker 4: Like they're still a mess. Maybe they will have a
Speaker 4: top two pick.
Speaker 2: But they could chase Kyler Murray and get a number
Speaker 2: one there or two and then wheel and deal to
Speaker 2: try and move up the board.
Speaker 5: They're different fare Yeah.
Speaker 4: That's true, Like they could have the five overall pick
Speaker 4: and if Kyler Murray's available, it's true, but it does
Speaker 4: you know, certainly integrity, and I think a genuine belief
Speaker 4: that they want Kyler Murray to be their future quarterback
Speaker 4: is what the point I'm trying to get to. And
Speaker 4: I think they would love him to play well and
Speaker 4: make them feel good about having Kyler Murray, which makes sense,
Speaker 4: makes sense?
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I hear it.
Speaker 2: I feel like it's a nice sample size for them,
Speaker 2: although it should be to be fair to Kyler Murrady,
Speaker 2: expect the guy come back from reconstructive knee surgery.
Speaker 5: I don't know what.
Speaker 2: You shouldn't judge him too harshly on how the next
Speaker 2: nine weeks go or whatever, but they get another look
Speaker 2: at him before making a huge franchise decision. The Giants
Speaker 2: made a huge franchise decision when they gave Danny Dimes
Speaker 2: a one hundred and sixty million contract dollar contract extension.
Speaker 5: This offseason, and one of.
Speaker 2: The worst seasons in recent franchise history, hit its rock
Speaker 2: bottom moment on Monday when it was confirmed that Jones
Speaker 2: tore is acl in the loss to the Raiders. Tyrod
Speaker 2: Taylor's out at least three more games with his rib injury,
Speaker 2: so it will be there is the kid Tommy de
Speaker 2: Vito starting. Let's listen to Dable.
Speaker 8: Yeah, well we have de Vito Barkley's on a practice squad,
Speaker 8: and you know we haven't been back for We've been
Speaker 8: back for less than twelve hours. So you know, I
Speaker 8: have some meetings today with Joe as a day goes on,
Speaker 8: and we'll see where it goes.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 5: No, I think Tommy did a good job.
Speaker 8: But again, I'm not going to give you one thing,
Speaker 8: and it's a different thing. I have confidence in Tommy.
Speaker 8: He's done a good job. But I, you know, I
Speaker 8: sit down and talk with Joe and figure out what's next.
Speaker 5: Greg.
Speaker 2: The Giants are steaming toward four and thirteen, which is
Speaker 2: going to give them a top five pick as well.
Speaker 5: Daniel Jones.
Speaker 2: Yes, it was one hundred and sixty one hundred and
Speaker 2: sixty million dollar extension, but there's only one year left
Speaker 2: of guaranteed money after this year, so they are very
Speaker 2: much in position to go after a QB as well.
Speaker 4: Right, and Danny Dimes, Yeah, he's guaranteed thirty five million
Speaker 4: next year, so he's he's either on the roster or
Speaker 4: you're just eating that or or trading that and paying
Speaker 4: for it if you got a topic. But I don't
Speaker 4: know that they might be in the in the position
Speaker 4: right after the Bears. Now the Bears owned the Panthers pick.
Speaker 4: The two of them play each other, which is bizarre
Speaker 4: on Thursday night, and so they own both of those picks,
Speaker 4: so they have a good chance. But you throw the
Speaker 4: Giants in there, you throw the Cardinals in there, maybe
Speaker 4: the Patriots, And this is a really strong top three too,
Speaker 4: because Marvin Harrison's son is like another generational receiver pick,
Speaker 4: but he's probably going top three too, And like, these
Speaker 4: picks are gonna be valuable. And the Giants, who knows
Speaker 4: they to me, they're the team I could see of
Speaker 4: all those teams that might not win a game the
Speaker 4: rest of the season if they're starting to Vito or Barkley.
Speaker 4: Sounded like he was leaving a little room there to
Speaker 4: maybe switch to Barkley, which which is possible, but I'm
Speaker 4: not sure that's gonna make much of a difference.
Speaker 6: I think, like it's pretty interesting that Brian Dable was
Speaker 6: hired to be a QB whisper, But he's telling the
Speaker 6: nation with a bit of a smarmy look on his
Speaker 6: face that Tommy DeVito played pretty well, So something fishy
Speaker 6: is going on. Here, and I kind of like it.
Speaker 6: If you're a Giants fan, you've got to get through
Speaker 6: two tough months. But what they're trying to do is
Speaker 6: tell you we're gonna have a whole different quarterback that
Speaker 6: you never even heard of in the pro system in
Speaker 6: a couple months. He's gonna be one of the top
Speaker 6: college quarterbacks around. That's what Brian Dables.
Speaker 2: Is it smarmy or do you mean more? Was it
Speaker 2: like the I mean that has the canary in its
Speaker 2: mouth like a.
Speaker 6: Little yeah, just sort of like sitting there like, yo,
Speaker 6: I think listen, guys, like I know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 6: And Tommy DeVito looked pretty good out there. It's like,
Speaker 6: I'm sorry, Like if you're a child that's been watching
Speaker 6: football for twelve months, you know that's not the case.
Speaker 6: But we'll all sitting buy it.
Speaker 5: Well, what's he going to say? Mark?
Speaker 6: I know? But like, but I think because I think
Speaker 6: the larger plan is gets through a terrible nuclear winner
Speaker 6: and you come out in the spring with one of
Speaker 6: the top college quarterbacks and Brian Dables back sitting on
Speaker 6: the throne.
Speaker 4: Well it's crazy though, coming off that Jones contract. I
Speaker 4: mean it is I feel bad for Daniel Jones of
Speaker 4: course with that injury, because it was as ugly at
Speaker 4: season that could be, and he was bruised and battered.
Speaker 4: And now we're at the point where it's like, is
Speaker 4: Daniel Jones ever going to play for the Giants again?
Speaker 4: Maybe not if they get the top five pick, and
Speaker 4: if he is available, think of those teams, like who
Speaker 4: would be available off the teams justin fields, Kyler Murray,
Speaker 4: maybe Daniel Jones, maybe Mac Jones for your third round pick.
Speaker 4: You know, like I don't know, I don't know what
Speaker 4: he would really fetch in the market, but a lot
Speaker 4: of quarterbacks could be available.
Speaker 5: Saucy Zach Wilson.
Speaker 2: In other news, the Vikings not a surprise here. They
Speaker 2: planned to start Joshua Dobbs against the Saints after his
Speaker 2: three touchdown relief effort against.
Speaker 5: Who's against the Falcons? I believe who and they get Kyler.
Speaker 4: They're just kind of in the crosshairs of all these
Speaker 4: Cardinals Qbs.
Speaker 2: So that is logical and we'll see what Dobbs can
Speaker 2: do with some more reps. Behind the scenes there bad
Speaker 2: news for cam Akers, who came back from an achilles
Speaker 2: injury actually became the first guy ever to tear his
Speaker 2: achilles and then not miss an entire year back for
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl with the Rams a couple of years ago,
Speaker 2: but now tore's achilles again with the Vikings, and he
Speaker 2: is obviously out for the season and a running back
Speaker 2: two achilles. Taras h you don't. You hate to say it,
Speaker 2: but the chances are we might not see cam Akers
Speaker 2: around anymore.
Speaker 5: But good luck to him.
Speaker 2: And finally, Taylor Heineke, he will remain the starter for
Speaker 2: the Atlanta Falcons.
Speaker 5: I guess he did enough.
Speaker 2: To convince Arthur Smith that he is the better option
Speaker 2: than Desmond Ritter.
Speaker 5: I believe Arthur Smith shaved his mustache. Let's let's listen
Speaker 5: into Artie.
Speaker 10: Going to this week. We'll call with Taylor this week
Speaker 10: and you'll kind of reassess after this week going into
Speaker 10: the bye. Uh, you know, there's always things to work on.
Speaker 10: You know, he's played the last six six quarters, and
Speaker 10: you know he scored forty eight points with him back there. Uh,
Speaker 10: absolutely one more than that. But it's just that'll be
Speaker 10: the plan which week.
Speaker 5: I mean, I can't take him seriously, but God, go ahead.
Speaker 6: Wait a minute, like hold on, I will say one
Speaker 6: thing for him, he had created a somewhat edgy, edgier
Speaker 6: version of himself, looks wise, and he went back to
Speaker 6: he now looks like his own dad. Like I liked
Speaker 6: what he had going on before, So I'm not but.
Speaker 4: You need to be maybe you need to be winning.
Speaker 4: Like he hasn't earned that mustache. He wasn't speaking with
Speaker 4: as much huts by either. I feel like now he's
Speaker 4: kind of backpedaling.
Speaker 2: Didn't his father is any a billionaire that founded FedEx.
Speaker 6: No, but I'm saying he maybe looks like his Well,
Speaker 6: first of all, it doesn't help when you take the
Speaker 6: older look, which he just did there, and you've got
Speaker 6: this gigantic like IBM, like they're sponsored by IBM. It's
Speaker 6: like IBM just reminds us of like dads from the
Speaker 6: eighties and nineties. So don't love that. But like Arthur
Speaker 6: Smith seemed very morose there, a little downtrodden. I think
Speaker 6: that his you know, words of wisdom to the press
Speaker 6: have fallen on deaf ears. Finally, there's a lot of people,
Speaker 6: you know, riled up about what he's had to say,
Speaker 6: and I think he's, you know, it's gotten back to him.
Speaker 4: I think they have a buy coming up. So at
Speaker 4: some point we're probably gonna see Desmond Ridder again this season,
Speaker 4: but ultimately Arthur Smith hopes we don't because that means
Speaker 4: Taylor Heineke is on a heater and they don't have
Speaker 4: to go back to him. But most likely we will
Speaker 4: see Desmond Ritter again at some point.
Speaker 5: Let's take a look at Arthur Smith's dad. Let's see
Speaker 5: what a billionaire looks like.
Speaker 4: We have a picture that's Fred.
Speaker 2: Smith right there. Yeah, it looks like a guy that
Speaker 2: makes decisions that are successful in terms of the bottom line.
Speaker 5: Looks like a guy that stays in the black.
Speaker 6: Looks rich.
Speaker 2: Jamar Chase, good job, you're muffsmark A good job by
Speaker 2: Chris Collinsworth on the Sunday Night Football telecast. Jamar Chase
Speaker 2: went up for a ball in the second half of
Speaker 2: their win against the Bills and came down wickedly hard.
Speaker 2: That makes me think of the John Travolta introducing Dina
Speaker 2: Menzel at the Grammys a couple of years ago, or
Speaker 2: maybe it was the Oscars, and he butchered her name,
Speaker 2: and he knew he was in trouble as he's reading
Speaker 2: the teleprompter, and you could see a flash over his face.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I don't know how to say her name.
Speaker 2: So he kind of slows down and goes the wiki
Speaker 2: lit Dean Menzie. Can we find that Eric? That's a
Speaker 2: good way to close the show. Can you find John
Speaker 2: Travalta introducing the Frozen Chick at an award show?
Speaker 5: Anyway?
Speaker 2: Chris Collinsworth good dude at calling games. Sometimes, as Chase
Speaker 2: hits the turf hard and lands on his back, Collinsworth,
Speaker 2: a former wide receiver, says I could tell you he's
Speaker 2: gonna crawl out of bed tomorrow after that because he
Speaker 2: had done it himself. Jamar Chase said on Monday, I'm
Speaker 2: a lit that's the best thing right now, which sounds
Speaker 2: like a guy that literally probably crawled out of bed
Speaker 2: with sore ribs and back and uh it's it looks
Speaker 2: like we're not sure if we're even gonna see him
Speaker 2: on the field for Week ten's game against the Texans.
Speaker 4: It's a fun little game too. I know it's a
Speaker 4: little early to get into our previous Bill Stroud, little
Speaker 4: Joe Burrow, you know, former Ohio State legends. Texans have
Speaker 4: made this season more interesting, but yeah, we need we
Speaker 4: need to bar Chase out there for that game to.
Speaker 2: The Browns moved Jedrick Wills to injured reserve, a tough
Speaker 2: one out six weeks with a knee injury. Mark, what
Speaker 2: does that do to their offensive line?
Speaker 6: He's been up and down for a couple of seasons
Speaker 6: in a row. They'll plug in James Hudson, who you
Speaker 6: know played a little bit obviously this past weekend, has
Speaker 6: played before for them. I guess for me, I feel
Speaker 6: like the Browns are one of the few teams that
Speaker 6: have an O line co coach and Bill Callahan that
Speaker 6: can kind of like could probably take the three of
Speaker 6: us and have us be somewhat serviceable for a couple
Speaker 6: of snaps if need be.
Speaker 3: So.
Speaker 6: I it's they've they you know, they lost their right tackle,
Speaker 6: They've now lost their left tackle. That would do most lines.
Speaker 6: Cleveland has a little bit more help because of the
Speaker 6: special sauce with their coaching. But you're getting close to
Speaker 6: the edge.
Speaker 4: Were you watching this game tonight, because you've been very
Speaker 4: pro Jets on the podcast, Mark, was.
Speaker 6: I watching it? I mean like, no, no, no.
Speaker 4: I've gotten to what I'm asking When you were watching.
Speaker 5: It got to the punchline yet, fair point?
Speaker 4: Were you thinking Okay, I've been saying the Jets have
Speaker 4: some magic to them. I've been rooting on, rooting them on,
Speaker 4: I want them to win. Or were you thinking, well,
Speaker 4: if the Jets lose, I go to sleep tonight and
Speaker 4: the Browns still own that seventh spot, the entire AFC
Speaker 4: North is locked into the playoff seating as of week nine.
Speaker 6: I wasn't projecting out that are Yeah, I was just
Speaker 6: attempting to get through this viewing. I think most fans
Speaker 6: were because just to your point, you know, like the
Speaker 6: game that we want rewatched today Cowboys Eagles felt like
Speaker 6: kind of football royalty in terms of drama and what
Speaker 6: you'd want out of a Week nine game in the NFL,
Speaker 6: and this was the polar opposite. Can be.
Speaker 4: Sorry to bring I'm asking.
Speaker 6: I'm answering the question, Hey, what about that Darius Davis.
Speaker 4: Nice little ball player, you know.
Speaker 6: But no, I wasn't dreaming of playoffs standings at this
Speaker 6: point for anyone, and nor do I. And I'm I
Speaker 6: think you're attaching me to something that I don't totally.
Speaker 5: Need to be being a stinky Davis.
Speaker 2: Yes, Finally, in the news, sometimes Greg throws things in
Speaker 2: the news and they make sense in his head. But
Speaker 2: I have no question to it. You Jeeves Press Colon.
Speaker 2: We want to be the world's team. I don't know
Speaker 2: who that is, what that is. Oh, that's the president
Speaker 2: of the Kansas City Chiefs.
Speaker 5: I think so.
Speaker 4: I just thought you were I would. I just thought
Speaker 4: it was very grande. No, it wasn't Clark Hunt, though
Speaker 4: it was. It was like some executive like a no.
Speaker 5: I mean, if it's not Clark Hunt, what are we doing?
Speaker 4: He says, Because you know they're doing the Germany game.
Speaker 4: I guess they owned the NFL rights or they're one
Speaker 4: of the teams that owns the rights to promote themselves
Speaker 4: in Germany. You have to like negotiate and pay for
Speaker 4: all this. I think the Jets are one of the
Speaker 4: teams for instance in the UK. Am I right about
Speaker 4: that they're there? Yeah, and so maybe they'll be giving
Speaker 4: up a home game every other year to go play overseas.
Speaker 4: And he said, we we don't want to be America's team,
Speaker 4: we want to be the world's team. That they that
Speaker 4: they wouldn't be doing a service to their organization if
Speaker 4: they didn't take advantage of this moment in time, with
Speaker 4: the success and with the players. These were his words
Speaker 4: to not try to become the world's team. And I
Speaker 4: just thought that might be a fun little piece of
Speaker 4: meat to end this podcast on this grandiosity from the
Speaker 4: Chiefs to be the world's team.
Speaker 2: This is how like company presidents get the four hundred
Speaker 2: thousand dollars bonus and the Jaguars like they just think
Speaker 2: up these things and it comes with some type of
Speaker 2: one hundred page report that they have an underling work
Speaker 2: up that features a bunch of bar graphs and arrows
Speaker 2: pointing up and explanations how we can make this thing
Speaker 2: that we have into something much much more lucrative. And
Speaker 2: I'm sure this is one of the data points and
Speaker 2: bullet points of that presentation that earned him four hundred
Speaker 2: and seventy seven thousand dollars on top of his salary.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's like it's the it's straight, it's direct from
Speaker 6: it's a rocket ship from the middle manager playbook. He
Speaker 6: executed it well. And you know, I think we've seen
Speaker 6: through some of these plans in our own career.
Speaker 2: See they and he's not a middle manager, he's a
Speaker 2: president apparently, but they have the same, you know playbook.
Speaker 2: It's just when the higher you go up, like the
Speaker 2: certain initiatives actually end up, you know, reaching the masses
Speaker 2: and and and you know, now we'll.
Speaker 5: See if the Chiefs become truly the world's team. Good
Speaker 5: luck to me.
Speaker 4: Those were his words, And to be clear, it was
Speaker 4: Chief's President Mark Donovan who did admit. It can sound
Speaker 4: a little arrogant, but the opportunity exists to become the
Speaker 4: world's team. We feel like this is our era.
Speaker 2: Well they when you got the quarterback that you do. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but why don't we start with America and then see
Speaker 2: if we can Conquergall.
Speaker 4: Forget Chiefs Kingdom. It's it's Chief's universe because in the country,
Speaker 4: I think.
Speaker 6: He was quoted at probably from like a German beer
Speaker 6: garden where everything felt real right in the moment, you know.
Speaker 5: All right, let's let's get uh, let's go out thus
Speaker 5: lee Uh.
Speaker 2: This is John Travolta at the Academy Awards, I believe
Speaker 2: about nine years ago.
Speaker 9: There will always be a special place in my heart
Speaker 9: for the movie musical and for the songs that create
Speaker 9: their most memorable moments here to perform. The Oscar nominated
Speaker 9: gorgeously empowering song let It Go from the Oscar winning
Speaker 9: animated movie Frozen. Please welcome the wickedly talented one, and only.
Speaker 4: It's worse than I thought.
Speaker 5: The wickedly.
Speaker 4: He said, Adele does em, which is pretty far from
Speaker 4: Adina Menzel.
Speaker 5: The wicked let talented adele m.
Speaker 6: But Dan, how do you not go into that assignment
Speaker 6: knowing the name?
Speaker 4: Or I mean you think you think Jod Travolta is
Speaker 4: doing a lot of prep work for his uh thirty
Speaker 4: second read at I don't know now, I do not.
Speaker 4: I think he's showing up. He's seeing that thing for
Speaker 4: the first.
Speaker 5: Time, all right, you know. And I love Travolta, like
Speaker 5: he's just one of my guys. I always root for him.
Speaker 5: But uh, that was good.
Speaker 9: One. That was good.
Speaker 2: And by the way he finally gave it up. By
Speaker 2: the way, he was like the uh speaking of presidents,
Speaker 2: he was the president, he.
Speaker 5: Was the CEO. He was the Emperor of hair Plug,
Speaker 5: hair plug and or whig nation.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and if I eventually he was just like you
Speaker 2: know what, and it just he went clean and he's
Speaker 2: got the lex luthor.
Speaker 5: Look.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I've been bald for I think four or five,
Speaker 6: six seven years at this point.
Speaker 4: Something he once drove next to me on Sunset Boulevard
Speaker 4: in Brentwood when I was like twenty two, and I thought, well,
Speaker 4: this is very la. There's troy Don Travolta and I'm
Speaker 4: here driving on Sunset Boulevard. I heard that a little
Speaker 4: just a little story with me that.
Speaker 2: Reminded me of driving on the one oh one with
Speaker 2: my brother when he was visiting Kevin Danger and uh
Speaker 2: Aj the bad boy from Backstreet Boys kind of pulled
Speaker 2: up in traffic next to us and my brother was like, yeah, bro,
Speaker 2: Aj rock on and he just like.
Speaker 5: Threw him up deuces and then like zoomed off. It
Speaker 5: was awesome.
Speaker 4: Wait a good Danger all right?
Speaker 2: Uh see, how well I'm taking the Jet loss. It's
Speaker 2: it's fine, Like there's nothing to get upset about. It's
Speaker 2: they are what they are, a deeply flawed team. And
Speaker 2: and to Jet fans out there that are are saying,
Speaker 2: just no, eight more games of Zach Wilson and then we're.
Speaker 6: You can take away the takeaway for Greg and I
Speaker 6: and the listeners that you're an ultra professional, So immense
Speaker 6: respect coming back to you. And again, are you saying that.
Speaker 5: I am the wikily talented profession.
Speaker 6: I think I'm saying that, Yeah, the wickedly.
Speaker 5: In play us out with Javalta one more time. Eric,
Speaker 5: We'll see you.
Speaker 2: Check out NFL Plus it's a free preview, and we'll
Speaker 2: see you on Wednesday with Connie Fox.
Speaker 9: There will always be a special place in my heart
Speaker 9: for the movie musical and for the songs that create
Speaker 9: their most memorable moments. Here to perform the Oscar nominated,
Speaker 9: gorgeously empowering song let It Go from the Oscar winning
Speaker 9: animated movie Frozen. Please welcome the wickedly talented one, and
Speaker 9: only does
