Speaker 1: The Around the NFL Podcast knows when Daddy is coming home.
Speaker 1: Welcome back to another edition of the Around the NFL Podcast,
Speaker 1: presented by Head and Shoulders. My name is Dan Hansas
Speaker 1: and I'm joined by Hil some heroes. It's up heres,
Speaker 1: Mark Ceciler and Greg Rosal. What's up boys, some heroes
Speaker 1: that have spent roughly, you know, twelve straight hours together today,
Speaker 1: and you know, we've really bonded. I feel like we've
Speaker 1: we've really become a tighten knit group. I feel the opposite,
Speaker 1: and I feel that there's never been a greater Were
Speaker 1: you just hanging out at six am? What were you
Speaker 1: doing together that early? It feels that long. It is
Speaker 1: that this is a long day these Sundays. But who's complaining?
Speaker 1: We're getting paid to watch football. I'm all right, guys, hey,
Speaker 1: life could be worse, alright. This is the Week nine
Speaker 1: recap episode. It is the flagship program in the Around
Speaker 1: the NFL Podcast. Often imitated, and when I say often,
Speaker 1: I mean often imitated, and ain't never duplicated in a
Speaker 1: friendly fire sort of fashion. Duplicated by some people that
Speaker 1: you know would claim to be close to us, and
Speaker 1: allies leave it open ended. I like it, Mark, but
Speaker 1: also on the nose. So many games to get to today.
Speaker 1: Uh in what was a Greg give me, I don't know,
Speaker 1: give me a letter grade for the Sunday that was
Speaker 1: do an A plus. So people definitely keep listening bright
Speaker 1: c B that you won't turn it off. If he
Speaker 1: says B, you'll say okay. It seems like you always
Speaker 1: gotta end with the bag. And really the the Late
Speaker 1: Afternoon had two games that we're quite intriguing. Well, and
Speaker 1: let's not forget this Sunday night football matchup we'll get
Speaker 1: to later. Yeah, we're very exciting, uh slad of games.
Speaker 1: We're gonna get through all of them as we do
Speaker 1: each episode. And uh we also a little bit later
Speaker 1: we'll have our friend Nick Shook checking in as so
Speaker 1: very excited of course, Lindsey Fulton behind the glass. Oh
Speaker 1: good times, folks. Let's get into the games. Uh and
Speaker 1: let's start with one of those late games. In fact,
Speaker 1: a little Tony Romo special house special, very special. It
Speaker 1: was Tony Romo Day at Jerald World. Uh ro we
Speaker 1: got a little choked up, uh in fact, after a
Speaker 1: little Jason Witten video display and then they sent it
Speaker 1: to Jimmy nance and Tony was all choked up. Very
Speaker 1: nice scene. But then there was a football game to
Speaker 1: be played and it was a good one. Smith and
Speaker 1: the Gun. Fourth and eight Snippers back fucking standing throwing
Speaker 1: metal shod jamtline by Alex Sniper year All Brad Sham
Speaker 1: k r l D the Sham God. Jeff Heath had
Speaker 1: a key fourth quarter interception, Zeke Elliott score the go
Speaker 1: ahead touchdown on the Cowboys continued their surge seventeen win
Speaker 1: over the Chiefs at Jarro World allowed Jarro World here
Speaker 1: that people having fun Cowboys. People like to knock that
Speaker 1: stadium for not being allowed not true today. Yeah, nice
Speaker 1: facility over there. Greg Dallas is starting to resemble the
Speaker 1: team that ran rough shot over the NFL for the
Speaker 1: majority of last season. Today they took control in the
Speaker 1: second half against the very good Chiefs team Therey They
Speaker 1: just leaned on them. And this is a good Chiefs team,
Speaker 1: but it's not a good Chiefs defense. And much like
Speaker 1: the Steelers leaned on the Chiefs and just warmed down,
Speaker 1: that's what the Cowboys did. I mean, the second half
Speaker 1: of this game was reminded me of the two thousand
Speaker 1: and what was it fifteen Cowboys team with with Tony
Speaker 1: Romo at quarterback just holding the ball forever. UH twelve
Speaker 1: played drive for a touchdown when they had just fallen
Speaker 1: down in the game where it looked like the Chiefs
Speaker 1: had momentum. Then to start the fourth quarter a third
Speaker 1: teen play touchdown drive and the Chiefs really they never
Speaker 1: recovered from that. They just pushed on him. And this
Speaker 1: Chiefs defense, I'm not gonna say it's soft, but it's light,
Speaker 1: and I think that's gonna be a problem for them
Speaker 1: as they move forward. I mean, only three Cowboys possessions
Speaker 1: in the second half, but as you said, elongated clock
Speaker 1: chewing drives that really, you know, squeezed the life out
Speaker 1: of Kansas. The Chiefs of now someone quietly lost three
Speaker 1: or four after that five and oh start And yeah,
Speaker 1: I think you're right, Greg. You don't want to rip
Speaker 1: the Chiefs and say, oh, their defense thinks. But the
Speaker 1: loss of Eric Burry in week one, I think that's
Speaker 1: week after week it shows itself and you wonder, um,
Speaker 1: uh with that offense, they're gonna continue to score points
Speaker 1: and incredible touchdown the Tyreek h Hill scored right before
Speaker 1: the end of UH the half where It was basically
Speaker 1: a checkdown to just try to get some yardage, some
Speaker 1: fantasy points. That turned into a touchdown. That was amazing.
Speaker 1: They're always gonna score points with all those playmakers. But
Speaker 1: is this a championship defense. I don't think. But they
Speaker 1: have to score thirty points. They have to score they
Speaker 1: have to be great. And they started this game out
Speaker 1: with a couple of three and outs and they they
Speaker 1: this is just a team that kind of can't afford that.
Speaker 1: I agree with that, But then I was just looking
Speaker 1: at what remains for Kansas City and they go into
Speaker 1: their bye week after that, you have games against the Giants, Bills, Jets, Raiders, Chargers, Dolphins,
Speaker 1: and Broncos. That's I'm not worried. It's five or six
Speaker 1: of the weakest teams in the league right now. I'm
Speaker 1: not worried about them making the playoffs or even necessarily
Speaker 1: win the just doing what they The stumbling block always
Speaker 1: comes when they get into the playoffs. I mean, this
Speaker 1: is already a different team though, and those past Chiefs teams,
Speaker 1: but yeah, you get the or maybe it isn't. Maybe
Speaker 1: that year for instance, where they got knocked off by
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck where they did score a lot of points,
Speaker 1: but the defense killed them. They don't want that faith.
Speaker 1: They gotta win a couple of playoff games. It's been
Speaker 1: a long time since they really went deep into the post.
Speaker 1: The Cowboys have really looked like one of the NFL's
Speaker 1: better teams though the last few weeks, because they have
Speaker 1: that offense and because they can make plays on defense,
Speaker 1: they are a little more bounced. David Irving with another
Speaker 1: big play today. DeMarcus Lawrence really played some complimentary football,
Speaker 1: and that Tyreek Hill touchdown was insane and kind of
Speaker 1: took it away, but he made a couple of plays
Speaker 1: on his own that gave the ball back to the
Speaker 1: Cowboys and set up a late first half touchdown drive
Speaker 1: when it looked like for all the world that the
Speaker 1: Chiefs were going into score. I mean, he's making place
Speaker 1: on Lee's making plays on his own, like they have
Speaker 1: enough on defense, and Tony Romo made a very uh
Speaker 1: I'm sure it's stew point. Nothing I would know, but
Speaker 1: how they really changed their running scheme over the last
Speaker 1: three or four weeks, doing a little more missdirection play
Speaker 1: mixing it up, and it's really working. I mean, DeMarcus
Speaker 1: Lawrence is right now a very solid candidate for Defensive
Speaker 1: Player of the Air, which is not something you thought
Speaker 1: would you would have gotten from this Cowboys defense in
Speaker 1: the off season when everyone's calling at the Achilles heel.
Speaker 1: That would drag them down and you know, ship them
Speaker 1: out of the playoff picture. And we'll say, well to
Speaker 1: two points for me. One was you know you're a
Speaker 1: good team when you do take a shot in the
Speaker 1: mouth like that at the end of the second quarter
Speaker 1: of the first drive of the third quarter where the Chiefs,
Speaker 1: again a very good team, sees control of the game,
Speaker 1: and then you just wrestle right back and then the
Speaker 1: other point is here we go again. Now we're back
Speaker 1: into limbo with the Cowboys. Was Zeke Elliott this this
Speaker 1: could be his last game for six weeks When we
Speaker 1: last podcast that we didn't even mention the fact that
Speaker 1: Ezekiel Elliott might be able to play for this game.
Speaker 1: And I was kicking myself on Friday for at least
Speaker 1: not mentioning that the fourth of their Hail Mary's that
Speaker 1: week where it's going up and maybe he could play.
Speaker 1: And it's hanging over this whole season, which feels a
Speaker 1: little cursed because this Cowboys team is so much fun
Speaker 1: to watch in the NFC East Race with those two
Speaker 1: teams Eagles and Dallas playing, including on a Sunday night
Speaker 1: game in a couple of weeks like that, those would
Speaker 1: be the best games of the season. Got to find out,
Speaker 1: Got to find out a judge Cathy f takes another vacation,
Speaker 1: then returns from a yet another vacation, and and and
Speaker 1: drops's uh not summering falling at Mount every lodge in
Speaker 1: and before we move on, I do just want to
Speaker 1: ask Mark for his thoughts on the Kansas City Chiefs
Speaker 1: touchdown celebration. What they did the sock you know, hot race.
Speaker 1: You know, I don't know if I've don't know, if
Speaker 1: I don't know what it. Yeah, it was a saying
Speaker 1: tato sack. I don't know if I believe in the
Speaker 1: concept of football gods, if if they exist, As we mentioned,
Speaker 1: Dan and I have a lot of arguments with them,
Speaker 1: but I will say this that I kind of think
Speaker 1: if there are football gods and said, hey, little potato
Speaker 1: sack jumping Chiefs players in Dallas, you're going down because
Speaker 1: I locked this game up. By the way, true, Mark
Speaker 1: was not amused when the sack race was going on No,
Speaker 1: this is one of those great angry Sessler days, very vengeful. God,
Speaker 1: it's not angry. Let's move on. I don't remember. Calls
Speaker 1: you to the shotgun, takes a snap. Lookie going down
Speaker 1: the left sideline looking for Docks and cod It's called
Speaker 1: inside the five to the one yard line. He might
Speaker 1: have rolled in. Wow, what a catch by Josh Docks.
Speaker 1: And he laid it all up that time. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't remember. You're like the wolfman. It's like a
Speaker 1: full moon. He was like, you wake up the next
Speaker 1: morning and you're one of those scorn and there's a
Speaker 1: dead body in the on the front lawn, and you're
Speaker 1: just like, what just happened? Look, I appeared at work today.
Speaker 1: I was tasked with a variety of items and I
Speaker 1: handled them all with professional total pro Also a total
Speaker 1: pro Larry Michael W T E. M with a call.
Speaker 1: Josh Dotson's clutch diving catch set up a Rob Kelly
Speaker 1: one yard touchdown plunge with less than a minute to play.
Speaker 1: The Washington Redskins rally to upset the Seattle Seahawks seventeen
Speaker 1: to fourteen. At the clink, my own mark Seattle dominated
Speaker 1: this game. In many ways, but Washington somehow ended up
Speaker 1: on top. How it was a very wild game. And
Speaker 1: I think if you if you're one of the rare
Speaker 1: fans at this point, they wants to see two defenses
Speaker 1: knock out a pair of offenses. That's what happened. For
Speaker 1: so much this game was too nothing for a long
Speaker 1: period of time. The Seattle also was dominated for much
Speaker 1: of the game by Washington's defense. I think you'll forget
Speaker 1: the numbers. Washington played its best defensive outing of the season.
Speaker 1: I think they did until the end. Here's the thing
Speaker 1: up until the end, and I'll tell you why. The
Speaker 1: first ten draw I was for Seattle generated zero points
Speaker 1: and all that all that Seattle had was Russell Wilson
Speaker 1: running around. But you just can't. You have to find
Speaker 1: a way to get to him to really to really
Speaker 1: squelsh this offense. And he was set free, ran great today,
Speaker 1: He extended plays, and it was one of these games
Speaker 1: that looked like it was gonna end up like, you know,
Speaker 1: ten to two or something until both teams had these
Speaker 1: drives at the end of the game. And Washington's offense
Speaker 1: is the one that could not get on track at
Speaker 1: all against Seattle's defense until that final drive. They only
Speaker 1: had a dred and thirty five yards the last couple
Speaker 1: of drives, But then they got the ball move and
Speaker 1: when it when it mattered, And you know what the
Speaker 1: Seahawks have, You said, you know what do they have?
Speaker 1: They have a team that's built to win close, low
Speaker 1: scoring games, and when you have your kicker missed three
Speaker 1: field goals, that whole plan kind of goes out the windows.
Speaker 1: So they're they're a defensive team in theory without a
Speaker 1: running game and now with a kicker who might have
Speaker 1: the yips. I had a not in my stomach throughout
Speaker 1: the end of that game because there were two separate
Speaker 1: portions of the game where it looked like Blair Walsh
Speaker 1: was going to be kicking for his career. First when
Speaker 1: Seattle scored the go ahead touchdown, and then when they
Speaker 1: got the ball back and got it inside the forty
Speaker 1: where it looked like they would have a chance to
Speaker 1: tie the game. And then they take a bad sack
Speaker 1: on a play in which a rare There was a
Speaker 1: little sloppy Seattle's execution at the end of that game,
Speaker 1: both in terms of their their clock management and then
Speaker 1: um the decision by Russell Wilson to try to get
Speaker 1: off another plane instead of spiking the ball, which led
Speaker 1: to that sack, which basically ended any chance of of
Speaker 1: a comeback for the Seahawks. And I know and Seahawks
Speaker 1: fans get mad at me because I've been having some
Speaker 1: fun with the with them on Twitter because they're a
Speaker 1: little sensitive um about saying the Legion of Boom is
Speaker 1: kind of the the Heyday I think they said. I
Speaker 1: said they were literally dead last week, which was a
Speaker 1: little hyperbolic in retrospect. But he's still having fun um
Speaker 1: even with the all Thomas out of this game and
Speaker 1: he was hurt hamstring injury. The Legion of Boom should
Speaker 1: not be giving up uh four place seventy yard drive
Speaker 1: with a game on the line in your building. You
Speaker 1: cannot let that happen. It's the kind of loss that
Speaker 1: me I I really to always you cannot do anything
Speaker 1: but trust Pete Carroll in this group to find a
Speaker 1: way to get get it back on its feet and
Speaker 1: get back into the playoffs. But it's a concerning loss
Speaker 1: for me because Washington has not been a team that
Speaker 1: has been a consistent like you're gonna go into Seattle
Speaker 1: and knock him out this way well, with missing three
Speaker 1: or four offensive lineman missing Jamison Crowder Rights and Jordan Read.
Speaker 1: It was a great gutty performance by Kirk Cousins to
Speaker 1: make do with what he had, including the first throw
Speaker 1: on that game winning drive when he got hit. Dwight
Speaker 1: Freeney's having a game for the Seahawks, like it looks
Speaker 1: like it's insane. He comes off the bed and then
Speaker 1: the touchdown to Dockson. I mean, it's not the Legion
Speaker 1: of Boom anymore, because the whole idea of the Legion
Speaker 1: of Boom was all the pieces are strong, and like
Speaker 1: they just have a guy Shack Griffin out on the
Speaker 1: right corner right there and they're playing bump and run
Speaker 1: at the end of the game, which the NBC you
Speaker 1: know guys, pointed out, It's like, why do you have
Speaker 1: Shack Griffin? Why are you trusting him one on one
Speaker 1: in that scenario? And Dockson, who's we've been waiting for
Speaker 1: him to make plays like this that wasn't It was
Speaker 1: a couple of incredible plays by Cousins and Dockson. We've
Speaker 1: seen a few hints of dots in it, and it
Speaker 1: today it materialized I will say there are two best
Speaker 1: performances in this game that I saw were Zach Brown
Speaker 1: for Washington and Bobby Wagner for Seattle. And fascinating performance
Speaker 1: by Bobby Wagner lights out. If you love yeah, if
Speaker 1: you like defensive football. There from minute one, these teams
Speaker 1: were really hitting each other. It was a fun game.
Speaker 1: It was a funny second the second minute, like the
Speaker 1: first second of the game. You said, minute one. Now
Speaker 1: the first minute, I was everyone's kind of feeling each
Speaker 1: other out. Think it was send the first minute clicked
Speaker 1: in correct? This I mean, if I was you know,
Speaker 1: this might have been you know, started the show material
Speaker 1: this game. This was a sneaky fun game of the year.
Speaker 1: I was I was going first of all, Legion of
Speaker 1: boom ended when Brandon Browner left the team obviously uh
Speaker 1: number two. I was going to make this the lead game,
Speaker 1: but then I didn't want to hurt your feelings, Gig,
Speaker 1: because it's all going down back into the cellar. He goes, well,
Speaker 1: where it's been a great run. Um, you know this
Speaker 1: this team of item. It doesn't really make sense that
Speaker 1: I'm a coach of a team of locks. But we're
Speaker 1: looking ahead to next season. Were already. It's this like
Speaker 1: when Kyle Shanahan ruled out the two thousand twelve. But yes,
Speaker 1: that was just so unlike you because when you look
Speaker 1: at actual football teams, they could be three and six
Speaker 1: right now and you'd say, no, no, no, there's weeks
Speaker 1: to go, if not months to go, but you've already
Speaker 1: founted out your team. It's over. You want to you
Speaker 1: want I want to see more resiliency from you know
Speaker 1: what you're doing real life at to Las Vegas. Yeah,
Speaker 1: as soon as well. We don't say that around here,
Speaker 1: but he would go for a drive into the desert
Speaker 1: and he'd say, I gotta get this back, and that's
Speaker 1: when it gets dangerous. That was, by the way, nice
Speaker 1: comeback by Washington. Wasn't Mark come Basterals except come back
Speaker 1: Colinals Barces, come back, Curtinals with bark cler come back,
Speaker 1: Colonels with bar Sessler, come back, Curlose with Bark Sessler,
Speaker 1: come back Clinos with Barcessless come back. Let's move on
Speaker 1: third down, thirty three, nine and a half to go.
Speaker 1: Bubble screen left side, Robert looks charging head forty five
Speaker 1: bricks inside quart Robert woods first down twenty turn five
Speaker 1: touchdown dark days for the gen moon. J Blong KESPN
Speaker 1: with the call. Jared got through for a career high
Speaker 1: four touchdown passes, including that little miracle of an ineptitude
Speaker 1: to Robert Woods, and the Rams cruised to a shocking,
Speaker 1: leasy seventeen win over the Giants, who appear headed toward
Speaker 1: a major offseason facelift. Let's now welcome the man, the myth,
Speaker 1: the legend gets. He gets a pumping and whenever he
Speaker 1: can that is it grotesque sound? Every case? Shuck? He
Speaker 1: gets pumping at the job. It sounds like he's working
Speaker 1: in the metal shop or something that was ear poison. Um, yes,
Speaker 1: Nick Shook is here? What's up? Shook? The Rams have
Speaker 1: won five out of six and are off to their
Speaker 1: best eight game starts. It's two thousand one went to
Speaker 1: the super Bowl that year. Why shouldn't we buy in
Speaker 1: on a team that could be this explosive on both
Speaker 1: sides of the ball? Wait? Why shouldn't we buy Why not?
Speaker 1: Why shouldn't we? Yeah? I agree, I mean a total
Speaker 1: buy in. Yeah, I'm going all in. I'm pushing all
Speaker 1: the chips in. I might be the last one on
Speaker 1: the table and I might have the lowest percentage of
Speaker 1: winning and not know that yet, but I'm going all
Speaker 1: the way in because today, Wow, okay, the Rams one
Speaker 1: and all phases, cards, talking cards, all three phases of
Speaker 1: the game. The Rams dominate it. And I know the
Speaker 1: Giants are the Giants, and it's it's a it's a
Speaker 1: spooky year for them, as you kind of alluded to there,
Speaker 1: But the Rams took care of business in a game
Speaker 1: that you know, very easily. They could not have if
Speaker 1: they were the Rams team that we saw last year,
Speaker 1: or a team that maybe he was more of a
Speaker 1: pretender than a contender. But today, I mean they they
Speaker 1: simply dominated in every phase of the game. And they've
Speaker 1: already outscored last year's Rams team by like thirty by,
Speaker 1: which is like a month worth of Jeff Fisher offensive ball.
Speaker 1: You know, you mentioned all the points for the Rams,
Speaker 1: all the great defensive plays. You know, one thing I
Speaker 1: didn't see today, It was in my Twitter mentions, none
Speaker 1: of those little chucklers saying, oh that the team of
Speaker 1: around the NFL curve, So you guys are very chucklers.
Speaker 1: It's it's team out of one loss, you know, since
Speaker 1: we took them on and then they're rallying and they
Speaker 1: haven't lost since, so back off that very sorry, Nick,
Speaker 1: You're good. I'll stay on the soapbox please by all
Speaker 1: means to defend them. The weird thing about this game
Speaker 1: was the Rams had dominated in total yards, but a
Speaker 1: lot of the stats were really close, like they both
Speaker 1: teams were on third down conversions, time of possession, the
Speaker 1: ramsoling one that by thirty seconds. But the big difference
Speaker 1: was the turnover battle, which is you know that sunk
Speaker 1: the Giants are most of the year. We have a
Speaker 1: chuckler by the way, satellite it's Jenny chuckles. Hey, Gregory,
Speaker 1: you're right. We should have never counted out the Rams.
Speaker 1: Now you are the true table ideas him down I
Speaker 1: want to see. I'm so glad we could have brought
Speaker 1: him in via satellite technology. Thank you, Johnny. It's amazing.
Speaker 1: I mean, Jared goffling through passing this game. This is
Speaker 1: about about a month straight of work for Jared goff
Speaker 1: where he doesn't even need to throw because his defense
Speaker 1: is running game. Everything else is doing So do you
Speaker 1: recall that episode of Hard Knocks last year when they
Speaker 1: were in camp and Jeff Fisher, I think he was
Speaker 1: talking to listen and it might have been somebody else about.
Speaker 1: He was watching Jared Goff throw and he thaw this
Speaker 1: this touchdown pasted practice, and oh you know that's a
Speaker 1: big time throw right there. His touchdown past to Sammy
Speaker 1: Watkins was that yeah, time throw that we really haven't
Speaker 1: seen for him until now. That's that's that's true. And
Speaker 1: the Giants, meanwhile, are a total mess. Um a game
Speaker 1: that was over by the half in the metal Lands.
Speaker 1: It's just a really bad look after the game. Uh.
Speaker 1: Ben McAdoo had to face the press. Those coaches have
Speaker 1: to do. Uh. And he was asked what what he
Speaker 1: told the team at halftime. Let's here how McAdoo responded, Um,
Speaker 1: what did you say to them at halftime? Um? Filed
Speaker 1: by ten seconds. And now let's isolate the sound. Lindsay,
Speaker 1: uh and and listen again. Oh no, this guy's in trouble.
Speaker 1: This guy's in serious trouble. Greg. We had a conversation
Speaker 1: he downstairs that that you think he'll he'll be okay.
Speaker 1: I think Ben McAdoo is in deep, deep, deep doo doo.
Speaker 1: And this is the type of loss that gets coaches fired.
Speaker 1: I think he'll make it to the end of the year.
Speaker 1: But I would be really surprised if he's back after
Speaker 1: this season. This season has gone into a dark place. Well, first,
Speaker 1: they have half the season to go, so that will
Speaker 1: obviously play an impact how that half season plays out.
Speaker 1: I just think the Giants historically are very patient. He's
Speaker 1: coached for two years. In one of those two years
Speaker 1: he was a surprise playoff team, So just judging by
Speaker 1: their track record, I would think they would give him
Speaker 1: another chance. I mean, I I think that also the
Speaker 1: finger has to be pointed towards the front office that
Speaker 1: has refused for seasons on end to fix an offensive
Speaker 1: line that has doomed their aging quarterback and the pieces
Speaker 1: around him. Yeah, I think I think the blame centers
Speaker 1: on Jerry Rees. I mean as much as we can
Speaker 1: say McAdoo, you know, maybe lost his team, right or
Speaker 1: his guys have quit on him, and and you know
Speaker 1: they've dealt with a lot of injury, right and generics
Speaker 1: Jenkins is suspended and Olivia Vernon has been hurt. But
Speaker 1: the reality is you go look, you know, in the box,
Speaker 1: or you can look at the long catch. Everyone has
Speaker 1: all right. Robert Woods fifty two, Sammy Watkins sixty seven,
Speaker 1: Cooper Cup thirty five, Todd Gurley forty four, Gerald Everett
Speaker 1: forty four. That's five plays of thirty five yards or
Speaker 1: more that this Giant's defense, which was supposed to be
Speaker 1: the bad rock of the team, they've stuck this year
Speaker 1: and it's been bad defense a flip side. The Rams
Speaker 1: have not given up more than seventeen points since October first,
Speaker 1: and they they're coming off at thirty three to nothing,
Speaker 1: shut out of the Cardinals and look great again today.
Speaker 1: We could be talking team of a t L in Minnesota.
Speaker 1: We got a chance that this is a Super Bowl contender.
Speaker 1: You mean in week eleven? No, I mean there make
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. They're one of the best teams in
Speaker 1: the NFL. Like we should be brought out for the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl like coin toss. If that happens, I'm just saying,
Speaker 1: I'll just throw it out right. So the Giants go down.
Speaker 1: The Rams are now six and two. What was going
Speaker 1: on with the division leaders in the NFC East. Let's
Speaker 1: check in. First of ten Lentz comes back to a
Speaker 1: Giant again and he said the corner, he's the third,
Speaker 1: at the twenty, at the fifteen ten five he dones
Speaker 1: and he is and for the touchdown, he first touchdown
Speaker 1: as an Eagle, a forty six yard explosion by j
Speaker 1: A giant the great Merrill ree of w I P
Speaker 1: with the call. J j I started his Eagles career
Speaker 1: with a bang, and the Eagles brought the Rocky Mountain
Speaker 1: Avalanche to its knees a fifty one twenty three win.
Speaker 1: Mark Carson Wentz through for four more touchdowns. Uh he
Speaker 1: now has an NFL best twenty three for the season.
Speaker 1: He's got seventeen the last five games. The m v
Speaker 1: P drumbeat is getting louder, and the Eagles look like
Speaker 1: the team to beat in the NFC. Well, the way
Speaker 1: that they're winning games right now is very reminiscent of
Speaker 1: dominant old NFC teams that were built to thrash opponents
Speaker 1: down the stretch. And they have a deep and versatile backfield.
Speaker 1: And but let's start with Carson Wentz because what we
Speaker 1: saw today was a continuation of the high moments we've
Speaker 1: seen this whole season, where he's drawing a very good
Speaker 1: Broncos defense offsides multiple times in the first half with
Speaker 1: his cadence, his pre snap reads. The guy can make
Speaker 1: every type of throw. He's aggressive. He had a couple
Speaker 1: throws today where he he threw it right into Denver
Speaker 1: secondary and he put it right in the window where
Speaker 1: only the receiver could get it, and it was just
Speaker 1: absolutely no let up. And then so there they were
Speaker 1: so dominant there in the fight. By the time they
Speaker 1: get a halftime, you then are allowed to take Carson
Speaker 1: Wentz essentially out of the game plan to some degree.
Speaker 1: He's handing the ball off to Jagi, to Corey Clement,
Speaker 1: to le Garrett Blunt, and they are all hammering Denver's defense,
Speaker 1: which is tired out by the second half, and you
Speaker 1: get a fifty one to twenty three. You scored fifty
Speaker 1: one points on the Denver Broncos defense, and not a
Speaker 1: single item about that was amras do because they they
Speaker 1: you know what, there's a lot of sloppy football, and
Speaker 1: there's a lot of water down teams. This is the
Speaker 1: opposite right now, which is wild because it was kind
Speaker 1: of unexpected from them. I mean, I think so I
Speaker 1: had him as my NFC East champs. There's people saying
Speaker 1: that Doug East for the past five years exactly, if
Speaker 1: you pick the Eagles in the Saints every year, you're
Speaker 1: gonna get it right and This is that year, big
Speaker 1: year for Greg and the Paths back in first place
Speaker 1: in the ANFC East. Everything's coming alight. It is unexpected,
Speaker 1: but we expected this defense to be good. The surprise
Speaker 1: is that the Broncos defense caved in so much. You
Speaker 1: have to give credit to Wentz and Dan. You've been
Speaker 1: pumping up the Wentz MVP bandwagon, and I think this
Speaker 1: is the week where now I'm taking it. I'm taking
Speaker 1: it more seriously if you can, if you can cave
Speaker 1: in a Broncos defense, it really haven't all year. This
Speaker 1: was two and fifty yards in the first half against
Speaker 1: his defense, and you've got a chance. Well, on the
Speaker 1: flip side, you had Broncos swidler, and I guess for me,
Speaker 1: the question was, I can't believe it. There you go
Speaker 1: and like it's I don't know. I know you needed
Speaker 1: to sit Trevor Simeon and really kind of reset him,
Speaker 1: But what did you expect to get with Broadcostlar was
Speaker 1: gonna be? So I think they I bet they kind
Speaker 1: of expected this, maybe a little better, but I think
Speaker 1: very much, either Trevor Simeon or whether it's Paxiston Lynch
Speaker 1: next week or the week after, Uh, they just needed
Speaker 1: something and they put off while they're paying them, So
Speaker 1: we need you in a spot here. And of course
Speaker 1: he fell on his face because he's not not a
Speaker 1: good quarterback. I during the telecast, they mentioned that they
Speaker 1: had talked to people inside the building that didn't feel
Speaker 1: like Paxiston Lynch healthwise was going to be back next week,
Speaker 1: and they weren't sure when. But I think as soon
Speaker 1: as he's available, you get him in there because and
Speaker 1: we you know, we did talk about Denver as a
Speaker 1: team where you could wind up seeing all these quarterbacks
Speaker 1: at some point, and that's exactly what's gonna happen. I
Speaker 1: mean there, it's shocking to me how much they've collapsed.
Speaker 1: When we were when they were at four and one
Speaker 1: or three and one, was it we we're thinking them
Speaker 1: as a potential Super Bowl type it. They all changed
Speaker 1: Sunday Night Football when the Giants who had nothing, no Odell, Beckham,
Speaker 1: no hope came came in that building and just blew
Speaker 1: the doors off him. And at the time it just
Speaker 1: seemed weird, But now that turned out to a team
Speaker 1: that was just about to fall off the cliff themselves. Uh,
Speaker 1: let's move on first and tent on the eleven of
Speaker 1: San Francisco. Shotgun snap Stanton straight drop back, looks right,
Speaker 1: froze right in the end, so it is caught for
Speaker 1: a touchdown. Two touchdown passes and the first half for
Speaker 1: Drew Stanton. Yes, Drew Stanton through two touch on passes.
Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson a career high thirty seven rushes for a
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty nine yards in the Arizona Cardinals had
Speaker 1: a ten win over the forty Niners, who have Jimmy
Speaker 1: Garoppolo on the sideline but still do not possess a
Speaker 1: single win. Mark that race for number one between the
Speaker 1: Niners and Browns back to back years. It's coming down
Speaker 1: to the wire. It's gonna be exciting well, and I
Speaker 1: think it will be an interesting moment for Browns Fans
Speaker 1: might get in the mix here. They might win going
Speaker 1: for it when thety Niners have Garoppolo and they also
Speaker 1: win the number one pick and Kyle Shanahan refuses to
Speaker 1: do business with Cleveland if they tried to shade up
Speaker 1: for some quarterback because Kyle Shanahan cannot stand the Cleveland
Speaker 1: Browns took We all wrote off the Cardinals after Carson
Speaker 1: Palmer went down but there four and four, how about that? Yeah,
Speaker 1: but it's the Niners. I mean, I don't I'm not
Speaker 1: a big You were trying to you were trying to
Speaker 1: support the Niners for a while there. Yeah, it was
Speaker 1: because their defense had played well, uh in a few
Speaker 1: weeks until they played the Cowboys, and they've kind of
Speaker 1: fallen apart since then. They only allowed twenty points today.
Speaker 1: But this Cardinals team, there's a reason that they ran
Speaker 1: the ball thirty seven times. They dream Peterson because they
Speaker 1: have Drew Stanton at quarterback. And I'm sorry, but I
Speaker 1: wouldn't believe in Drew Stanton as far as I could
Speaker 1: throw him as with. You know that's very far. No,
Speaker 1: that's not that far. Hundred fifty nine yards. For you
Speaker 1: math wizards are pretty good arm out there in the outfield,
Speaker 1: you know you could throw it. Yeah, but this is
Speaker 1: not This is not a baseball. This is a human man.
Speaker 1: I do have a ring throwing that out there for
Speaker 1: your math wizards at home. That's four point three yards
Speaker 1: per carry, which I did not do the math for
Speaker 1: work at that off NFL dot com. Thank you, uh man.
Speaker 1: They do this because you don't gonna throw the ball.
Speaker 1: I mean, they know that's gonna turn in, it's gonna
Speaker 1: result in turnovers, it's gonna put them out of the game.
Speaker 1: And right now they're trying to figure out ways to
Speaker 1: win the game with the limited options that they have.
Speaker 1: And really, and this is the Niners and speaking about now,
Speaker 1: not the Cardinals. Uh, and really they still have to
Speaker 1: learn how to win games. So what you have right
Speaker 1: here in the in this game with two teams who
Speaker 1: know that they're both limited to an extent, the Cardinals
Speaker 1: with more talent on offense, but with a quarterback who's
Speaker 1: not good, who's a backup, and the Niners with an
Speaker 1: equally bad quarterback and C. J. Beathard who surprise, surprise,
Speaker 1: for yet another day, was hit over twenty times exactly.
Speaker 1: So if you want to sit back and ask why
Speaker 1: why aren't they playing Jimmy Garoppolo when they just traded
Speaker 1: for him, Well, perhaps it's because they don't want to
Speaker 1: see him get destroyed. I mean that's watching this game,
Speaker 1: and I was keeping an eye on it because of
Speaker 1: the whole draft pick thing, but I mean the beating
Speaker 1: that he took you, I really do wonder if I mean,
Speaker 1: it's like there's and they're stuck because you have to
Speaker 1: put Jimmy g in there to see what you have
Speaker 1: and maybe you know, to try to win. But maybe
Speaker 1: it's difference between if if he's this good, between when
Speaker 1: you have Tom Savage in Houston and you have Deshaun Watson.
Speaker 1: Everything changes when Garoppolo gets near. But why do you
Speaker 1: assume that the Fortnighters are trying to win? Aren't they
Speaker 1: in a full scale rebuild? I'm sure they want a win,
Speaker 1: and that's my thing. What what are you gonna put
Speaker 1: that guy? What are you gonna put Garoppolo in there for? What?
Speaker 1: You really want to win? Two games? You want to
Speaker 1: make by that logic though you know you're not playing
Speaker 1: any of your best players, Well, you need to see
Speaker 1: what you have if you're gonna at some point. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I would expect him to start next week. I have
Speaker 1: no information. No one said anything, but to me, it
Speaker 1: would be weird if he's not starting, you know, if
Speaker 1: not this week then next I can see him starting
Speaker 1: after the bye week, which isn't you here yet for? Then? Um,
Speaker 1: Nick Schuck, you have come in, You've you've hit a
Speaker 1: home run, three run shot right over the left fielder's head. Uh,
Speaker 1: you just love having This is a weird drop this.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's too long, there's too much grunting that
Speaker 1: little bit right there. You're telling me I had to
Speaker 1: put it together today and I was sitting in here
Speaker 1: editing it and always looking at me like there's something
Speaker 1: that's really wrong. What is Lindsay listening to right now?
Speaker 1: This is the word created this. Lindsay has an email
Speaker 1: from HR tomorrow morning. I love that Lindsay created that.
Speaker 1: She did it from hind of. Lindsay faults and all right,
Speaker 1: let's play him out. Let's play him out, Nick, Chuck,
Speaker 1: thank you for stopping mind Now you got to get
Speaker 1: a pump in it. Spies and tries day. We're going
Speaker 1: back to this sound effect. Oh we're gonna be listening
Speaker 1: to this. Um. Thank you, Nick. Let's move on. Snapped
Speaker 1: to Ryan Matt Pumps Bros. Looking for Jones. He's wide
Speaker 1: open and he dropped it. Hit him in the hands,
Speaker 1: he fell down, the ball bounce away and complete. West
Speaker 1: Durham of w z G with the call. Julio Jones's
Speaker 1: wide open end zone drop was a perfect to for
Speaker 1: for what's quickly becoming a lost season for the defending
Speaker 1: NFC champion Falcons, who stubbled on offense yet again and
Speaker 1: lost to the Panthers in Charlotte. Greg Jones drop was
Speaker 1: an absolute killer. But it's not all on that one play.
Speaker 1: This is a continued issue with the Falcons that just
Speaker 1: don't score it up point. It's it's not on that play,
Speaker 1: but just even hearing the radio call makes it lose
Speaker 1: a little context. It's fourth in seven right there, and
Speaker 1: they know the coverage that they're gonna get, and they
Speaker 1: know that play is gonna be open deep, and they decide,
Speaker 1: you know what, we're the Falcons. We got Matt Ryan,
Speaker 1: we got Julio Jones, let's go for it. The exact
Speaker 1: same play literally was wide open in the first quarter
Speaker 1: on the first drive in the game and Matt Ryan
Speaker 1: overthrew him. So here it is, this is gonna turn
Speaker 1: the game around, and Julio Jones drops it. So two
Speaker 1: times today you can't blame Steve Sarkisi. And you have
Speaker 1: the exact perfect play dialed up and the two best
Speaker 1: players on your whole team, Matt Ryan and Julio Jones,
Speaker 1: botch it. So do you when you look at it
Speaker 1: in his offense right now? Do you what last year's
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan. Is it that was just a one year
Speaker 1: thing and that's not really who he is, because this
Speaker 1: is much more like the Matt Ryan of two years ago,
Speaker 1: and much more like Matt Ryan of other seasons that
Speaker 1: we've seen. Well, the frustrating thing if you were a
Speaker 1: Falcons fan is they look so close for so many
Speaker 1: big chunks of this game where they they're moving the ball.
Speaker 1: They start with the game upten nothing. It's late in
Speaker 1: the second quarter, they're holding onto the ball and for
Speaker 1: the most part you see good things, but then they
Speaker 1: just kind of make the plays that make you lose games.
Speaker 1: And at the very end of the game they had
Speaker 1: just scored a touchdown to cut it to three, they
Speaker 1: get the ball back and it feels like, okay, maybe
Speaker 1: for once the Falcons are the ones that are gonna
Speaker 1: give a little heartbreak out. And what do they do.
Speaker 1: They go four and out. They don't even get a
Speaker 1: first down. They give up that pressure. That's I mean,
Speaker 1: as sure a sign as any of that something is
Speaker 1: no longer right with that offense. And maybe they'll never
Speaker 1: be as right as they were last year, but certainly
Speaker 1: something is off. I mean, look at it this way.
Speaker 1: Julio Jones. Everyone was talking about it last week and
Speaker 1: it was popping up and even popped up in our
Speaker 1: NFL media research notes how there had been all these
Speaker 1: other lesser receivers and even running backs that had more
Speaker 1: targets than Julio Jones. This season, he was targeted twelve times,
Speaker 1: which is a lot today six catches, four and eighteen.
Speaker 1: But that drop, I mean, that's the difference between winning
Speaker 1: and losing games. And sometimes the team just doesn't have
Speaker 1: the juice and you wonder if this team is just
Speaker 1: it's just not gonna happen this year. I see their
Speaker 1: season completely on the brink because you come out of
Speaker 1: this and you have to deal next week with the Cowboys,
Speaker 1: after that the Seahawks. You sold the Vikings and the
Speaker 1: Saints twice on this schedule, and I just don't see
Speaker 1: them as a better team than any of those teams.
Speaker 1: I thought they could maybe help start to turn their
Speaker 1: season around because I thought offensively overall, they were pretty
Speaker 1: good in New Jersey last week and that you know,
Speaker 1: if you could get a road win like this, it
Speaker 1: was going in that direction. You've got to give the
Speaker 1: Panthers a lot of credit, who win ugly. I mean
Speaker 1: the The key sequence of the game was its second
Speaker 1: and two in the second quarter, Falcons are just rolling
Speaker 1: and they stone the Palkins three straight running plays. And
Speaker 1: then after that it was like the Falcons were afraid
Speaker 1: to run the ball. It's like they totally gave up.
Speaker 1: And the Panthers, meanwhile, they had their best running day.
Speaker 1: And I don't know how many years over two hundred
Speaker 1: yards rushing they've given up on the whole. Hey, let's
Speaker 1: not put Cam in harm's way. Cam running the ball
Speaker 1: is main is their main offense, I mean, and and
Speaker 1: in the running that came with McCaffrey was mostly off
Speaker 1: of Cam faking them out or read option or something.
Speaker 1: And maybe that's the best thing for because if you
Speaker 1: added up twenty four carriers for almost a hundred and
Speaker 1: fifty yards or just over a hundred fift yards between
Speaker 1: the two of them, Cam alone nine for eight six
Speaker 1: and a touch, they finally had something of a running game.
Speaker 1: Maybe that's just what it is with this team for
Speaker 1: it to they have the special season where they were
Speaker 1: getting more help from other players, but Cam is always
Speaker 1: going to be the focal point of this team. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it feels I I see the two hundred one
Speaker 1: yards don't sustainable. Yeah, it's exactly, and I don't I
Speaker 1: still don't buy that as a reason to trade away
Speaker 1: Kelvin Benjamin. That's a trade that's still I think it
Speaker 1: is mysterious to the three of Ernest Samuel lad the
Speaker 1: team in snaps today, but he only had it's so fast,
Speaker 1: they're so fast now without Kevin Benjamin. By the way,
Speaker 1: Cam Newton was asked after the game, Um, what it
Speaker 1: was like, you know, to to not have his former
Speaker 1: number one wide receiver who's now in Buffalo. Of course, yeah,
Speaker 1: we just lost a great player. But nevertheless, you know
Speaker 1: the Titanics too, that has to go. I mean, it
Speaker 1: was stupid, is what stupid does. So you know, it
Speaker 1: was a poor choice of words. Maybe he didn't. Maybe
Speaker 1: he only watched the first half of titan It's not
Speaker 1: hook That is not a poor choice of words. Joke,
Speaker 1: it's a joke. Titanic off. Everybody. Everybody was always looking
Speaker 1: at Kim. Give him a pass. Yeah, you bettern't know
Speaker 1: what the Titanic? What happened the Titanic? Come on, man,
Speaker 1: he cut out of that film. When DiCaprio was painting
Speaker 1: hate Winslett and thought everything is wonderful from hearing or
Speaker 1: there is the other way to look at it is
Speaker 1: that cam Newton knows exactly what the Titanic is all about.
Speaker 1: He knows that it's the greatest seafaring tragic d of
Speaker 1: all time um or of at least century, and he
Speaker 1: believes that the Panthers are a doomed ship. I like this,
Speaker 1: You're just like that. You're hinting at much darker seafaring
Speaker 1: incidents from before our century. I don't want to get
Speaker 1: into that right now. This is a family podcast. But
Speaker 1: this maybe he knows that the Panthers, even though they're
Speaker 1: six and three, they're not going anywhere. So just keeping early,
Speaker 1: very honest coming. In which case I take everything back
Speaker 1: X level. I respect them, Okay. Luke Kickley, by the way,
Speaker 1: was insane, and Thomas Davis was insane, and James Bradberry
Speaker 1: had a really good game overall, And it's like this defense.
Speaker 1: If they can figure some things out, I think they
Speaker 1: have enough ingredients where they could be a little more inspiring.
Speaker 1: They're gonna have like eight They're gonna have like five
Speaker 1: more games that finish. That's who this team is before
Speaker 1: they sank to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. That
Speaker 1: has to go. Let's uh move on. Maybe an opportunity
Speaker 1: for return if it's his longest punt return as a Saint,
Speaker 1: just seventeen yards because Saints and blocked and taking it
Speaker 1: in for the touchdown. Coming through cleanly to do so
Speaker 1: is Justin Hardy and the Saints are celebrating at the
Speaker 1: back of the end zone. Build that man a statue.
Speaker 1: Put it in front of the Superdome. Jim Henderson w
Speaker 1: w L with the call. The Saints had it all
Speaker 1: clicking at the Superdome and it started with that punt return,
Speaker 1: punt block and recovery for a touchdown by Justin Hardy,
Speaker 1: a thirty to ten win over the listless Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Speaker 1: That's six straight wins for the Saints, who delivered one
Speaker 1: of the most one of the most balanced all around
Speaker 1: efforts you'll see from any team in a game this season. Greg,
Speaker 1: we did our Sky Sports hit, which I hope everyone's
Speaker 1: been tracking. We do one in the morning before the
Speaker 1: early kickoff, and then we do one after the late
Speaker 1: games conclude. Um and I said it there. If you
Speaker 1: go and watch the game pass, you'll see the Saints
Speaker 1: are playing as well as a team can play. Uh
Speaker 1: special teams. We just heard that with Hardy running the football. Uh,
Speaker 1: both Alvin Kamara and mark Ingram Uh they combined to
Speaker 1: average over five and a half yards per rush. Drew Brees.
Speaker 1: Drew Brees, he completed over his passes and the defense
Speaker 1: completely uh shut down the Bucks and knocked Jamis Winston
Speaker 1: out of this game. So the Saints are on fire, right.
Speaker 1: Two hundred yards for the Bucks and and Camara. I mean,
Speaker 1: I know we were talking Carson Wentz for m v P,
Speaker 1: but I don't know when you put up a hundred
Speaker 1: and fifty yards from scrimmage as a rookie and then
Speaker 1: after after the game you wear a cash Money Records
Speaker 1: T shirt. I think put Alvin Camara in the m
Speaker 1: v P discussion rookie of the Well, did you catch
Speaker 1: that part about the cash Yeah, it was really it
Speaker 1: was really the T shirt that put it over. But
Speaker 1: that should that should change everything? Um? Yeah, the Saints
Speaker 1: look at the look tremendous and uh should be definitely
Speaker 1: taken seriously in the NFC. They they are for real. Uh.
Speaker 1: The Bucks, on the other hand, they are my pick
Speaker 1: for the most disappointing team in the league this year,
Speaker 1: and I feel like, uh, there two and six now
Speaker 1: the season is essentially over a basic no show um
Speaker 1: today and what should have been their season on the line.
Speaker 1: And just like I was saying with Ben McAdoo, I
Speaker 1: think Derk Cutter is in serious danger. Um. There was
Speaker 1: a part in this game where Winston had left. He
Speaker 1: had reaggravated the shoulder injury on a hit in the
Speaker 1: first half, so Ryan Fitzpatrick finished the game. And what
Speaker 1: happened was he Winston on the sideline taps I'm trying
Speaker 1: to think who was with it was Marshawn Lattimore. He
Speaker 1: tapped him on the back of the helmet, came onto
Speaker 1: the field even though he wasn't playing. Um. Lattimore turns
Speaker 1: around and then Mike Evans speed. They had words on
Speaker 1: the sidelines, so it looked like and then at full
Speaker 1: speed Mike Evans crashes into Lattimore and decks him, leading
Speaker 1: to a fight. Uh. Somehow, I have no idea. Even
Speaker 1: the Fox cameras caught it. Like Mike Evans couldn't believe
Speaker 1: he was only penalized for to play, but he'll get
Speaker 1: absolutely should have been ejected on a day where A J.
Speaker 1: Green was ejected for nothing more offensive, it was equally right.
Speaker 1: It was he wasn't. Well that's another game, we'll get
Speaker 1: to it. But yeah, I thought that kind of typified,
Speaker 1: Uh what how Cutter has kind of lost this team.
Speaker 1: And then the thing that drives me crazy as a
Speaker 1: football fan of my teams, like when something's going on
Speaker 1: with with your team, and whether it's a discipline issue
Speaker 1: or just the no show performance, Like a minute later,
Speaker 1: they cut the Cutter on the sideline and he's emotionalless
Speaker 1: and just staring straight ahead, and you, I'm sure he
Speaker 1: saw lot going through his mind at the time, but hell,
Speaker 1: I want my coach like down there getting in people's
Speaker 1: faces because you didn't show up in the game. You're
Speaker 1: getting embarrassed. I think it was thirty to three at
Speaker 1: the time. And then your star players are both involved
Speaker 1: in a completely needless skirmish. I mean, this was as
Speaker 1: bad a look as you could have for a team.
Speaker 1: And this Buck season is just completely lost. And and
Speaker 1: if anyone would have said in August that it would
Speaker 1: have been Sean Payton in a game like this that
Speaker 1: would have come out looking at this point in the season,
Speaker 1: like he's got his complete mojo back. He said, he
Speaker 1: looked his offense is a creative as any offense in
Speaker 1: the league right now, the way he's using his running backs,
Speaker 1: the way he's getting players that failed in other places
Speaker 1: to shine. Right now. The Saints are a legit threat
Speaker 1: in the NFC, and and he has what could be
Speaker 1: the best defense that he's had since he's been there.
Speaker 1: I love what Marshawn Lattimore said after the game, which
Speaker 1: is he was he appreciated the fact that Mike Evans
Speaker 1: was not ejected because he later made a pass breakup
Speaker 1: on Mike Evans. Mike Evans was held to thirteen yards
Speaker 1: on six targets, and he said he said he he
Speaker 1: wanted Evans to stay and he says, he said, that's
Speaker 1: how you retaliate to that on the field, we're not
Speaker 1: on the streets. Yeah, that set him down on the street.
Speaker 1: I love that quote, and I also think, and you know,
Speaker 1: Evans seemed like a nice enough fellow on hard knocks,
Speaker 1: but that kind of play and how strange and out
Speaker 1: of noor it was. It looked like a play like
Speaker 1: a guy who's done playing and wanted to go home,
Speaker 1: like he was ready to go to locker room and
Speaker 1: didn't want to compete anymore. It was like I quit
Speaker 1: play and he's like waiting and get tossed and it
Speaker 1: didn't happen. You know what we're getting from Greg here?
Speaker 1: But this feeling inside of Greg's heart that he could
Speaker 1: see a New England, New Orleans super Bowl his two teams,
Speaker 1: that it's it's a tough spot for Greg. There's a
Speaker 1: possibility that he could double down as a fan. That
Speaker 1: wouldn't be tough, it would be great. Who droot for?
Speaker 1: Come on, I'm what do we mean? Who all? It's
Speaker 1: all gravy at this point and all that stuff with
Speaker 1: the Patriots. I if I saw the Saints against the
Speaker 1: team of a t L, I don't know who had
Speaker 1: root for those are And one more note on this game.
Speaker 1: Scary moment the third quarter Bucks defensive and William Golston.
Speaker 1: Uh strange play. He was in a pass rush and
Speaker 1: he kind of just collapsed to the turf and then
Speaker 1: was motionless on the turf and it was, you know,
Speaker 1: said to be a neck injury. He got a mobilized
Speaker 1: stretchered off. But the good news is that, uh, it
Speaker 1: doesn't appear to be too serious. But it was at
Speaker 1: the moment a very kind of upsetting clearly to both
Speaker 1: sides because of the nature of the injury. But good
Speaker 1: news that it's not serious. Um. What is serious is
Speaker 1: situation in Tampa and Yeah, Saints, they are a stud team. Greg,
Speaker 1: I'm all the way in. Let's move on. Mariota rolls right,
Speaker 1: looking back to the left. He fires man is White
Speaker 1: upn Decker texted Titans Decker in the red zone, Mike
Speaker 1: Keith w g f X with the call. Marcus Marcus
Speaker 1: Mariota through for two eighteen yards, two scores, including that
Speaker 1: important fourth quarter strike to Eric Decker, as Tennessee Titans
Speaker 1: beat the Baltimore Ravens. That's three straight wins for the Tytoons. Um.
Speaker 1: I had requested that miss Fulton cut that that touchdown
Speaker 1: tossed because I was given it to Greg a little
Speaker 1: bit downstairs in the newsroom. Because Greg had famously has
Speaker 1: Marcus Mariotta ranked as the number ten quarterback this season.
Speaker 1: The country has been buzzing about it. Yeah, the most
Speaker 1: important news to happen all week. And Baltimore scored a
Speaker 1: touchdown in the fourth quarter to get this within three points.
Speaker 1: Even though Tennessee clearly was the superior team in this game. Uh.
Speaker 1: And then they put the ensuing kickoff into the end zone.
Speaker 1: So here comes the Tytoons on the field with Mariota
Speaker 1: and I said, hey, you got a top ten quarterback,
Speaker 1: sought this game away. And what did the Titans do?
Speaker 1: They go straight down the field score that touchdown. Game
Speaker 1: America heard, he heard, he literally heard me, and that's
Speaker 1: why that happened. So that was a not a not
Speaker 1: an all inspiring effort from the Titans. In fact, they
Speaker 1: were out gained in the game three forty one to
Speaker 1: fifty seven. I still have serious doubts about this offense.
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry um excuse me to Marco Murray finally came
Speaker 1: off the injury report and then had a knee and three.
Speaker 1: So he's continuing to battle, uh, injury issues this year.
Speaker 1: You don't know how much he has left. But the
Speaker 1: Titoons get it done against the Ravens, who have now
Speaker 1: lost three or four there four And Joe Flacco after
Speaker 1: the game said, you can't play too much worse than
Speaker 1: we've been playing. And I think that's true. I mean,
Speaker 1: they think they won forty to nothing in the last game.
Speaker 1: But I got it particularly impressive on Offen. I think
Speaker 1: he's saying offensively and as a passing him. I think
Speaker 1: that's true with a veteran group, which they mostly have.
Speaker 1: It hasn't really been injuries on the offensive line, you know,
Speaker 1: I guess they were. They were before the scenes, like,
Speaker 1: I don't think you can play much worse than they're playing.
Speaker 1: It's pretty wild. I watched the Ravens as bad, and
Speaker 1: yet I'm still waiting to be ultra impressed by the Titans.
Speaker 1: They did. They deviated from what what made me enjoy
Speaker 1: them last year, which was just their power run game.
Speaker 1: You don't have a single back with over twenty six
Speaker 1: yards in this game for Tennessee. Is that how it
Speaker 1: looked watching it, that they just simply couldn't move the ball.
Speaker 1: It is not when you go back on game pass,
Speaker 1: this is not going to be the game that sticks
Speaker 1: with you. They just they just there wasn't a lot
Speaker 1: of wow plays. I think they kind of just waited
Speaker 1: out the Ravens and they got ahead. And then when
Speaker 1: if you like Tennessee's twelve nine win over Cleveland, you'll
Speaker 1: love this game. Yeah, And you know, the score even
Speaker 1: looks a little closer than ended up because the Ravens
Speaker 1: got a touchdown in the last minute, uh and then
Speaker 1: failed on an onside kick. But you know, I mean
Speaker 1: sometimes the game, what am I gonna say? I mean, Titans,
Speaker 1: they did what they were supposed to do. But am
Speaker 1: I still going nuts about even though you have appropriately
Speaker 1: sold it to me? Mark and I were speaking, you know,
Speaker 1: before the podcast. I think this is a common theme
Speaker 1: that you're not you don't like this big, soft, generic
Speaker 1: sort of middle of the NFL that exists right now,
Speaker 1: and I think this game, these teams are a prime
Speaker 1: example of this portrait of that. Yeah, I mean it's
Speaker 1: just because well because you know, it's our job to
Speaker 1: go track and watch all of this and some of this.
Speaker 1: I was sort of eyeing this from a distance and
Speaker 1: it just looked like rough football to But if you're
Speaker 1: a Titans fan or you're a Jaggs fan, I know
Speaker 1: we're gonna get to that. Suddenly. It's a two team
Speaker 1: race in a division that between those two teams they've
Speaker 1: won one division title since two thousand and two, so
Speaker 1: this has been a division dominated by the other two.
Speaker 1: And so if you're a Titans fan, you know, hey,
Speaker 1: it's that pretty Marksessler, We're fine, and you get to
Speaker 1: their credit. You can get Corey Davis back this week.
Speaker 1: You'll see more of him next week. Maybe Mariotta is
Speaker 1: getting healthier and healthier. So yeah, it's nice to have
Speaker 1: not just a one team scenario in the South. All right,
Speaker 1: let's move on. Savage waits for the snap, he gets it,
Speaker 1: looks looks he's hit the ball free. Cults are gonna
Speaker 1: win it. The cults are gonna win it. A strip
Speaker 1: sack and a cult win fourteen Savage on fourth down?
Speaker 1: Who hit him? So many questions? I'll tell you I'm
Speaker 1: former brown Jabal shared what they hit that and season
Speaker 1: jabas year, and I'll tell you what Archebias Mingo was
Speaker 1: involved as well. And I'll tell you one more thing.
Speaker 1: Every time I hear Bob Lamey of w l h K,
Speaker 1: I'm waiting for another F bomb. Cults are gonna win it.
Speaker 1: The cults are gonna remember the F bomb from Lamy
Speaker 1: last year? I do, I do? Yeah, that was you
Speaker 1: remember last year? That was a big plot line in
Speaker 1: this part of Empty Spaces from last year. Anyway, I
Speaker 1: can't believe you don't remember Lamy's F bomb. I'll think
Speaker 1: on it more. At this point, I do not. I'm
Speaker 1: like when you yes, no, Jabaal Shear delivered the game
Speaker 1: to setting trips. I'm actually nervous of Tom Savage wrapping
Speaker 1: up a road win um for the Colts over at
Speaker 1: Houston Texans team that looked very much lost uh at
Speaker 1: Sea with without Deshaun Watson, who, of course, towards a
Speaker 1: cl in practice last week. T Y Hilton had a
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy five yards receiving with two touchdowns Cults
Speaker 1: and a three games skid. Greg Uh, someone had to
Speaker 1: win this one. Yeah, it doesn't mean my but the
Speaker 1: Colts were so much better that I was really pleased
Speaker 1: at the end of the game that we want to
Speaker 1: talk about a soft middle, here's your soft middle. Well,
Speaker 1: these guys, these teams aren't in the middle. They're there
Speaker 1: towards there. They're towards the bottom. And it's like the
Speaker 1: buttocks of the NFL. Where that's where we're at now.
Speaker 1: And I know what the buttocks is that a few
Speaker 1: other teams. What is happening right now? Tom Savage started
Speaker 1: this game and really throughout, but they moved the ball
Speaker 1: a little bit late, even worse than I think you
Speaker 1: would have imagined that it could have gone. He was
Speaker 1: nine for seven to start the game. You know, one point,
Speaker 1: he's five for seventeen. I think at halftime Jake Briskett,
Speaker 1: on the other hand, looked really good. I think you
Speaker 1: look good again, Cincinnati. They deserve to win that game.
Speaker 1: They deserve to win this game. You know, they're not
Speaker 1: a great team. What do you want to say, But
Speaker 1: he's he's doing pretty well in this spot. And they
Speaker 1: were significantly better coached and just defensively everything they were
Speaker 1: better today. I snapped to putter Keivity Humbert, left footed
Speaker 1: punk shot the air, the backpedaling Jaydon Mickens brings it
Speaker 1: into his thirties. Seven makes two different Bagel smiths now
Speaker 1: the third serves off here left another on the top
Speaker 1: of somersaults a touchdown. Andrew Catalan from CBS with the call,
Speaker 1: nice call, Andrew jed on mickens sixty three yard punt
Speaker 1: return that was like the Ivan drago on Apollo Creed
Speaker 1: final blow. I watched Rocky four this morning with my son,
Speaker 1: my son Jack. His first boxing match you ever saw
Speaker 1: was Apollo Creed being murdered in the ring by a
Speaker 1: Russian thug. I like that introduction to the sport. Anyway,
Speaker 1: sixty three yards to the house. The Jaguars a twenty
Speaker 1: three to seven win over the Bengals at the Chlorine Pit.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm calling the Jacksonville home stadiums. What do
Speaker 1: you think? I don't think that's the official name. That's
Speaker 1: the nickname. That's yeah, it's a nickname. Obviously makes a
Speaker 1: very new nickname seconds old. Mark A. J. Green got
Speaker 1: a jack did for going full w W E on
Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey. But that was the only fight since he
Speaker 1: showed against the superior Jacksonville team. Yeah, hey, Bengals, see
Speaker 1: you later. Ah you're waiting for this, Well it's over,
Speaker 1: and you know what it is time we are into November.
Speaker 1: It is time to separate the trash from what I
Speaker 1: can only call the non trash. Oh you know what,
Speaker 1: that makes a perfect timing for us to finally, at
Speaker 1: long last, wheel out the stick a fork in on
Speaker 1: podcast on Tuesday. Like that. We got a plenty of
Speaker 1: candidates for that. One of them definitely will be spoiler
Speaker 1: alert the Cincinnati Bengals who laid a massive egg. Well,
Speaker 1: we'll be up for a vote. We have to get together.
Speaker 1: I would like to meet the person will vote for
Speaker 1: the Bengals. Chris calling in is gonna stop town team.
Speaker 1: You'll be on my obviously, go ahead, Mark Jacksonville. Seventy
Speaker 1: eight plays four hundred yards to a hundred and forty
Speaker 1: eight yards and thirty seven plays for the offensive offense
Speaker 1: of the Bengals. Eight first downs for the Bengals. They
Speaker 1: might be the worst running game or one of the
Speaker 1: worst running games in the league, despite having Joe Mixon
Speaker 1: and gioe Bernard and Jeremy Hill. It's pretty wacky. Hill
Speaker 1: Hill was not available today, but I don't think that
Speaker 1: would have made any difference. This defense dominated them, and
Speaker 1: I think mixing. We spent a lot of time talking
Speaker 1: about Mixing in the off season, and for and for
Speaker 1: good reason. He looked like a special running back and
Speaker 1: athlete and we're not seeing it. Two point four yards
Speaker 1: per carried today. Every week it feels like I was
Speaker 1: gonna his stat line thirteen for thirty one. He did
Speaker 1: have a touchdown, but I feel like thirteen for thirty
Speaker 1: one He's done that about five times this year. Well.
Speaker 1: And the thing was when a j Green you get
Speaker 1: him ejected after he has You have to go watch
Speaker 1: this if you haven't seen it. Just a crazy takedown
Speaker 1: of Jalen Ramsey, who was John with him all day.
Speaker 1: I love Jalen Ramsey, but I understand why you noise
Speaker 1: wide receivers. It's not the first guy that's gotten irritated
Speaker 1: at the Jaguars quarterback. But one catch for six yards
Speaker 1: for a J Green. There's no player in the league
Speaker 1: whose offense is more reliant on so and so. Then
Speaker 1: the Bengals are on a J Green, and this was
Speaker 1: that you take them out of the equation. They had
Speaker 1: no shot in the second and they were They were
Speaker 1: playing the best right now, probably the best, certainly the
Speaker 1: peest past defense in the league. They haven't been a
Speaker 1: great run defense. But now you had Marcel Darius Pff
Speaker 1: for what it's worth, thought he had a big impact
Speaker 1: in limited snaps, so you improve your run defense too.
Speaker 1: You got Calais Campbell setting franchise record for sacks. You've
Speaker 1: got Jalen Ramsey maybe he's the best cornerback in the league.
Speaker 1: And you have Blake Bortles. Now he's starting to stack
Speaker 1: up games where it's like, okay, let's let Blake Bortles
Speaker 1: throw the ball twenty seven times in the first half
Speaker 1: because Leonard four Nette was deactivated apparently for being a
Speaker 1: knuckle head. And we're winning these games pretty comfortably. There
Speaker 1: was a weird incident at the end of the game.
Speaker 1: They showed Ut Bortles literally after they won, coming off
Speaker 1: the field and joining with coach Doug Marone like it's
Speaker 1: almost I don't know if it was just a moment
Speaker 1: of being competitive or kind of I told you so,
Speaker 1: Oh I can throw the ball thirty eight times, we
Speaker 1: can still win. But it was a weird moment. And
Speaker 1: Doug Morone not a complete stranger to in house controversies. No,
Speaker 1: and he's not. And I am happy that um knucklehead
Speaker 1: is staying in the very very by a threat like
Speaker 1: it's been on the it's been hanging by a thread
Speaker 1: for fifty years, eighty years maybe, but it just stays there.
Speaker 1: And you said knucklehead, and I was like, in my
Speaker 1: head is like, oh, I might have said bone head,
Speaker 1: but I like the knuckle head continues to pop up
Speaker 1: in society once every week or two weeks or so.
Speaker 1: I don't get what knuckle head actually means or what
Speaker 1: bone head even means. Well, in this case, the reports
Speaker 1: where that he missed some team meetings or perhaps treating
Speaker 1: the context for the list there and then saying not
Speaker 1: making good life decisions. That I get. But when we said,
Speaker 1: let's coin a phrase for an idiot, a knuckle head,
Speaker 1: like her head is shaped like knuckles or bone head,
Speaker 1: we all have. I got a theory for knucklehead, kind
Speaker 1: of like a chro magnum man like where you're kind
Speaker 1: of you have a bumpy type head like it's that
Speaker 1: would be kind of associated with not being intelligent. That
Speaker 1: bone head you got me, I just don't know, yeahm
Speaker 1: at us root word linguists. The Jaguars have won five
Speaker 1: games this year. Not one of them was competitive. It's
Speaker 1: pretty interest I mean, I know the Steelers game was
Speaker 1: competitive for a long time, but all of their winds
Speaker 1: are by twenty points or more. This was the closest
Speaker 1: or until this game. They're they're winning cup like the
Speaker 1: Jags are that. This is something I kind of like
Speaker 1: that well, if it's for real, I think about it,
Speaker 1: like the fact that they didn't have their rookie sensation
Speaker 1: running back and they still got the job done easily,
Speaker 1: and Blake Bortles is making throws Blake Portles is making throws. Uh,
Speaker 1: you know, the Titanic is gonna keep sailing in Jacksonville
Speaker 1: because everything's gonna be fine. I think about it, like,
Speaker 1: if the quarterback is just okay, that's all they need.
Speaker 1: As long as for net his knucklehead act doesn't continue
Speaker 1: and the defense stays healthy, this team could win some
Speaker 1: games in January. I can't even believe him saying that
Speaker 1: they're they're managing him. Well, they're scheming up some plays
Speaker 1: like it's all it's all coming up Coughlin. That's why
Speaker 1: I won the around the NFL old guy of the
Speaker 1: first half. If you saw, was that an NFL network kid? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I went with Santa Claus, who I still think has
Speaker 1: done more for the Earth than Tom called NFL pick him, which,
Speaker 1: of course everyone should watch every weekend. Alright, let's move
Speaker 1: on Sunday night. Car gonna troll of Bob for the past.
Speaker 1: There for Johnny hold U Paraders. That's our boy, Greg
Speaker 1: Popa of kg m Z with the call Derek Carr
Speaker 1: throw one touchdown pass on Sunday and it was to
Speaker 1: the great Johnny Holton, who's forty four yard catch put
Speaker 1: the Raiders well out in front, and they held out
Speaker 1: very seven to four win over the Dolphins, who dropped
Speaker 1: the five hundred. This game played at hard Rock Cafe Stadium.
Speaker 1: Is there no cafe? Is it just hard Rock hard
Speaker 1: Rock Stadium, Shark Stadium. I I can't keep track so
Speaker 1: many Marks a big fan of hard Rock Cafe. No
Speaker 1: I questioned, it's relevant Mark actually has right now, he's
Speaker 1: wearing one of those gene jackets with a patch. It's
Speaker 1: like hard Rock Cafe Soul North South Korea. Alright. Anyway,
Speaker 1: so the Raiders get a win they needed, Greg Rosenthal,
Speaker 1: uh and the Dolphins, you know they're the Dolphins. Well,
Speaker 1: the Dolphins actually had a pulse on offense for the
Speaker 1: first time seemingly all season, Jay Cutler completing his first
Speaker 1: ten passes going over three hundred yards. They moved the
Speaker 1: ball up and down the field, but then the defense
Speaker 1: didn't show up. And I like games like this where
Speaker 1: teams start to return to the levels that they should be.
Speaker 1: The Redskin Seahawks game to me was similar and that
Speaker 1: the Redskins deserve to be five hundred the way they play.
Speaker 1: The Dolphins deserve to have their record come back to
Speaker 1: the pack, and the Raiders I think I've been a
Speaker 1: little better than a three and five team. So justice
Speaker 1: prevailed on Sunday Night Football Justice, I mean I still
Speaker 1: do so. I mean I don't know what to make
Speaker 1: of the Raiders at this point. Your four and five. Yeah,
Speaker 1: well you say that, and I get it. I got
Speaker 1: knocking them. I just said, don't get it. What's there
Speaker 1: to get They don't have. Their defense is so bad
Speaker 1: that they give up three hundred yards to J Cutler
Speaker 1: and make them look good for the first time all season.
Speaker 1: That that's what I But you know, some of those J.
Speaker 1: Cutler yards were patting at the end of the game.
Speaker 1: There's a reason by the way I locked this game up. Oh,
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. That's six in a row of
Speaker 1: the old user And Greg, you may be right, this
Speaker 1: hole is getting too deep for you. But um, this
Speaker 1: is not a great win. But still it's a road win,
Speaker 1: uh on in primetime against a not terror ol Dolphins team.
Speaker 1: And if you believe, and I sincerely do believe it,
Speaker 1: and we could talk about it when the four Committee
Speaker 1: meets on Tuesday. But I think the the Raiders have
Speaker 1: a run in them still, and even if they still
Speaker 1: don't have things figured out and is flawed as they've
Speaker 1: seemed seemed this year. Um I still think that the
Speaker 1: Raiders are gonna be in the mix in December. So
Speaker 1: you have to go get a win like this, and
Speaker 1: that's what they did. So it wasn't a thing of beauty,
Speaker 1: but it was a when they needed and they got.
Speaker 1: It's one of the better games by Derek Carr all season.
Speaker 1: He had the late interception, but other than that he
Speaker 1: played really well the Dolphins, though. I don't know what
Speaker 1: to take beating the Dolphins. They were the number the
Speaker 1: thirty first team in the league according to Football Outsiders.
Speaker 1: They they have the Dolphins worse than the Browns seems
Speaker 1: a little crazy, and the forty niners for what it's worth.
Speaker 1: I don't know how they I think they're gonna be
Speaker 1: able to not really put together many wins or figure
Speaker 1: out how to win games down the stretch. But at
Speaker 1: least the Raiders a lot to a few of the
Speaker 1: last few weeks have been able to move the ball
Speaker 1: offensively and look a little bit like they did last
Speaker 1: I thought Kenyan Drake, playing obviously in replace of j J.
Speaker 1: I E, had some good moments. Um. I just I
Speaker 1: think this is an admiration for Jake Color. He's gonna
Speaker 1: come screaming back to Earth. And I think on the
Speaker 1: Raiders side, Marshall and Lynch had an impact in this game.
Speaker 1: Two touchdowns. He kind of looked like Marshaw and Lynch
Speaker 1: at times in this game. Not overwhelming production from him,
Speaker 1: but I think it was a step in the right direction.
Speaker 1: He'd become kind of invisible of late and then uh,
Speaker 1: the other on the negative side, Amari Cooper again looked
Speaker 1: like the lost Amari Cooper. Uh. He did have four
Speaker 1: catches in this game, but he had at least two
Speaker 1: bad drops, and they really if this if this offense
Speaker 1: is going to be consistent, Uh, he is going to
Speaker 1: have to become consistent and be a true number one receiver.
Speaker 1: There's still a way to go on that front. And
Speaker 1: I know that you were hoping this game would would
Speaker 1: delve into overtime and it didn't happen for you. Are
Speaker 1: you you're doing okay? No, Because I had the Raiders unlock.
Speaker 1: I didn't want this thing going and they also want
Speaker 1: to go home, so it's like, no, you definitely read
Speaker 1: that wrong. I was and ready to say goodbye to
Speaker 1: the two thousand seventeen Raiders. It's not that I wasn't
Speaker 1: playing ball with a bit there, Mark, but it's just
Speaker 1: like I can, I simply read it as poorly as possible. Um,
Speaker 1: there you go. So the Raiders four and five, Dolphins
Speaker 1: four and four. In a way we go. H. That
Speaker 1: is the Sunday Week nine recap. The next time you
Speaker 1: do hear from us will be on Tuesday, so make
Speaker 1: sure you check that out. Um, and thank you to
Speaker 1: everybody for listening. Uh. If you want to be involved
