- 0:49can't see him at home or listen to him on Spotify.
- 0:52But Kevin, let's fire it up and get to the week
- 0:56six recap. welcome back here we go let's get
- 1:07back into football games last week what'd you
- 1:11think of football uh week six there in the nfl
- 1:14there jacob uh wild and crazy and uh i think
- 1:18the uh the the phrase any given sunday speaks
- 1:21volumes to how wild and crazy it was uh i didn't
- 1:25do so well in last week's picks uh and i don't
- 1:28think many others did Okay, and a few extra picks.
- 1:33I might have slid some W's in there when the
- 1:36other people weren't looking, but we'll get to
- 1:38that. I don't actually have. I think Coach Smelty
- 1:41has all the records, but we'll just go by word
- 1:46of mouth of what you remember, who you picked.
- 1:48So we'll start off. Week one, we had the San
- 1:52Francisco 49ers versus the old Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
- 1:57Oh, yeah. Great game. What else can we say about
- 2:03Baker Mayfield right now? Probably the leader.
- 2:05Front runner for MVP. MVP. So what did you think
- 2:09of this game and the Bucs' performance on the
- 2:1230 -19 win? I thought they did really good. Notes
- 2:17here, their defense, Bucs' defense continues
- 2:19to be solid. Yes, they are. Stymied the run,
- 2:22held Christian McCaffrey. Vida Veya. Vida Veya.
- 2:27Sorry, it was all messed up on mine. Yeah, he
- 2:30looked like he controlled the line scrimmage
- 2:32most of the day, which led to Mac Jones not being
- 2:38as effective as he has in the past. 49ers piled
- 2:42up with injuries. Yeah, and it got even worse.
- 2:44Did get over worse. Middle linebacker Fred Warner
- 2:48broke an ankle out for the year. So that's a
- 2:53tough loss of them, also missing Bosa. So Purdy,
- 2:58Bosa, and Fred Warner, you're probably top pay
- 3:01money guys out for the 49ers. Still 4 -2, still
- 3:05in the running. Buccaneers, hot right now. Yeah,
- 3:10that wide receiver core still continues to get
- 3:13banged up too. A little banged up. And Becca
- 3:15Mbuka has got a hamstring injury now. Yes. So
- 3:19that loss, losing him, he's your front runner,
- 3:23I think, for rookie of the year or offensive
- 3:26rookie of the year. Losing him hurts, but Baker
- 3:30continuing to move the ball around and get into
- 3:32the hands of everybody else. Yeah, Baker making
- 3:35plays. Kevin, if you want to throw up that clip
- 3:37of probably one of those MVP type of plays that
- 3:41most people will focus back at later on the year
- 3:45if he continues to play this hard. Just making
- 3:49moves. Reaching out for that first down. Yeah.
- 3:54I mean, just getting initially out of that sack
- 3:56right there was an elite -level play right there.
- 3:59And then just finding a way to get the first
- 4:01down and continuing that drive. You see the score
- 4:03right there is 20 -19. So that's when the game
- 4:07is right in tight, making a play like that. So
- 4:10despite the major injuries on both sides, Buccaneers
- 4:15get the job done. Any last thoughts on the Buccaneers?
- 4:20So Rashad White's doing pretty well. He's being
- 4:22good enough. In the absence of Bucky Irving,
- 4:2749ers uncharacteristically had a lot of penalties
- 4:31late in the game that really cost them. Notes
- 4:36here, offensive holding penalty, a false start
- 4:38on a fourth and one, became a fourth and five.
- 4:42Typically, you don't see that from what we would
- 4:45consider a well -coached team over there in San
- 4:48Francisco. So I think you're seeing those injuries
- 4:52and that lack of experience. stacking up there
- 4:54so hopefully they can stay afloat uh they've
- 4:58got some offensive weapons coming back soon with
- 5:00kittle um uh brandon iuk things like that so
- 5:05i think there's a lot to be hopeful about but
- 5:07that defense is Got a lot of question marks.
- 5:10And McCaffrey still, you know, he's played injury
- 5:13-free so far this year, and he's contributed
- 5:15for fantasy owners. He's been paying off nicely.
- 5:19He's on one of my teams in one of my leagues,
- 5:21so I've been pretty impressed with that so far,
- 5:24even with that 49er for just really struggling
- 5:26a little bit this last week. 49ers, they need
- 5:32the guys back. I think Tampa Bay's defense and
- 5:37then also playing in that south division, I still
- 5:40think that they're going to be the front runners
- 5:42there. That defense, I think, can carry them
- 5:45as much as where the 49ers defense is missing
- 5:49a lot of key pieces with already having eight
- 5:52new starters on that defensive side. Good win
- 5:57by the Buccaneers. So we'll move on to the next
- 6:00game here, Kevin. We have the Detroit Lions going
- 6:04into Arrowhead against the Kansas City Chiefs.
- 6:06Oof. Oof. What? No, like if you're a Lions fan,
- 6:13oof. Oh, that's a northern conversation right
- 6:17there. You scared me. Like I said, the matchup.
- 6:21No, no, you didn't get any. No. What a just what
- 6:25a strange game it was out of the gates. And the
- 6:29way that it ended to just like absolutely. Like,
- 6:33unexpected. And I missed the ending because they
- 6:38had the turnover on downs inside the two minutes.
- 6:40I'm like, okay, game's over. It's late. I'm going
- 6:43to go to bed, turn it off. And then I wake up
- 6:44in the morning. I'm like, there's a brawl at
- 6:46the end of the game or a fight that broke out.
- 6:50Disagreements. Yeah, if you guys didn't see that,
- 6:53Brian Branch after the game kind of came up and
- 6:58looked like he cold cocked Juju. juju smith so
- 7:03everyone on the internet saw that and the interesting
- 7:06today with kevin want to pull up this video i
- 7:08saw earlier that this might have been the reason
- 7:12why you can see circle the branch there and it
- 7:15looks like we got a little dive play and then
- 7:18you can see juju come in and the backside and
- 7:20blind side brian branch so was that the reason
- 7:26why we had the conversation at the end of the
- 7:28game um Probably, but that's no excuse to start
- 7:33throwing hands. So he got suspended a game for
- 7:36it. So he's paying. Like any scenario, it's not
- 7:40the first guy that does it. It's the second person
- 7:43that gets caught. And Branch will obviously look
- 7:45like he got caught now. Need to hide that a little
- 7:48bit better if you're trying to get a little more
- 7:49payback in this scenario. Patrick Mahomes leading
- 7:53the Chiefs. Another bounce -back win. Detroit's
- 7:57defense really struggled to contain the Chiefs'
- 8:00passing game. Other than that late game overall,
- 8:03it was an interesting game. But the Chiefs kind
- 8:07of looked like that super bowl contending team
- 8:09again. I think they're at about 500 right now,
- 8:133 -3 if I remember right. Yes, you are correct.
- 8:16So what did you think of the Chiefs' performance?
- 8:22I thought the Chiefs offense and defensive lines
- 8:24both showed up. They bullied the Lions. They
- 8:27did what the Lions usually do. They didn't really
- 8:31have a Lions. Lions didn't have a lot of like
- 8:34fight. They just kind of like created. decent
- 8:38holes for pacheco to get through i still am not
- 8:41a fan of like the number of carries mahomes has
- 8:4410 carries yes i mean he didn't lead the team
- 8:46in rushing for the game which is good but he's
- 8:49still the team leader like still leading the
- 8:51team in rushing yards for over the course of
- 8:53the entire season now through six games i don't
- 8:55like that but the way that the that offensive
- 8:57and defensive line both showed up against the
- 9:00line is just like beating them at their own game
- 9:03just bullying them and pushing them off the line
- 9:05really impressed me a lot that casey's front
- 9:08four really controlled the line of scrimmage
- 9:11most of the game um do you feel like when you
- 9:14watch detroit lions play on grass that they look
- 9:17a little slower um i think a little bit But not
- 9:23a whole lot. Sometimes they just don't look as
- 9:27explosive, I feel like. And I don't know if that's
- 9:29just an excuse in my mind after a loss, why they
- 9:33don't look as dynamic and explosive as some weeks.
- 9:39But I also give it credit to Spags and that defense
- 9:42of having a game plan and controlling that line
- 9:45of scrimmage and really giving Jared Goff some
- 9:49issues. St. Brown had a key drop, I think, in
- 9:54the middle of that game. Yeah, that fourth down
- 9:55drop. And the tide of that game kind of switched
- 9:59after that. I remember after that. To me, it
- 10:04kind of felt the Lions opening drive, and they're
- 10:07down on the goal line, and they had the trick
- 10:09play where they send Goff in motion, and then
- 10:12Montgomery throws it to Goff. The fact that it
- 10:15was even caught and ruled a touchdown was pretty
- 10:19crazy because he bobbled it. If Amin Ra and his
- 10:24defender weren't there, I think Goff wouldn't
- 10:26have caught it at all, period. But anyway, where
- 10:28I'm going with this is they got called for an
- 10:31illegal formation, but it took... It took the
- 10:34crew way too long. To figure out the ruling of
- 10:39that play. Yeah, I kind of saw the ruling. If
- 10:42the quarterback goes under center and then he
- 10:44moves, he's got to be stationary for a complete
- 10:47second. Then I saw an example of a play where
- 10:50Brady did it, but he never went under center.
- 10:52So he never really had to come to that full pause,
- 10:55and I saw the internet battle over that. The
- 10:59other really good example of that is Nick Foles
- 11:02in the Philly Special in the Super Bowl. He never
- 11:05was under center. Yep, yep. For you deep NFL
- 11:09rules readers, that's one I've never heard of
- 11:13before. Yeah, me either. And I thought it was
- 11:15crazy at the time. I'm like, wait, why are they
- 11:17calling this flag now so long after the play
- 11:20was over? And they have the right to do that,
- 11:22at least in that particular circumstance. So
- 11:26we learned something new this week. But it was
- 11:29a good game out of two probably playoff, you
- 11:32know, looks like contending teams. Lions next
- 11:35week. Oh, where's the old Detroit Lions at? They
- 11:40got the Bucs. The Bucs. We're going to be talking
- 11:42about that game. And the Chiefs are playing against.
- 11:48Chiefs? I have them. They got the Raiders. Raiders.
- 11:51We're not talking about that. So that looks like
- 11:53probably a win there for them. So that'll get
- 11:58them over 500. So the Chiefs are kind of getting
- 12:01hot. Middle of October, a good time to start
- 12:05getting going. And Rashida Rice is coming back.
- 12:09Yeah, weapons coming back. And like we were talking
- 12:11last week, the difference of Worthy getting back,
- 12:15you see the explosive plays, which opened up
- 12:17Kelsey even. It helps Kelsey at times when that
- 12:20field really gets expanded. And Patrick Mahomes'
- 12:24play style also extends and opens the field too.
- 12:29He just needs to stop running the ball so much.
- 12:32And dropping your shoulder, Mahomes, stop it.
- 12:35You don't like a real football player. You're
- 12:38too valuable to your team. Don't get hurt. Don't
- 12:41be like Lamar. So, yeah. Let's get her going
- 12:45on to the next game. We have the Circle the Wagons.
- 12:50Is our season falling apart, Buffalo? Oh, gosh.
- 12:54Versus coming off a bye week and looking hot,
- 12:58Atlanta Falcons, 24 -14 prime time last night.
- 13:05B. John, Drake London, Pennix, explosive offensively.
- 13:11Falcons defense stacked. Allen four times, couple
- 13:15interceptions. Falcons looked good last night
- 13:18against what we would have considered two weeks
- 13:21ago as probably the Super Bowl contender AMC
- 13:24championship team. What was your feeling off
- 13:28that game? Yeah, we were seeing the hard work
- 13:32of the Falcons revamping their defense coming.
- 13:36like paying dividends now which is good for them
- 13:38because it's been a mediocre those two dns that
- 13:41they drafted this last year really changed that
- 13:44yeah that defensive uh line for the falcons yeah
- 13:49like you called it like the four sacks the six
- 13:51additional pressures um two force fumbles on
- 13:55josh allen too like just absolutely getting after
- 13:58him uh and finally like well And it seems like
- 14:04we have this conversation every other week where
- 14:05it's like, how come they don't give the ball
- 14:07to Bijan more? Like when you give the ball to
- 14:10Bijan, good things happen. Sometimes easier said
- 14:15than done. The flow of the game dictates, and
- 14:18then people love to get pass happy, especially
- 14:19in the NFL. That's true. So, but yeah, Bijan,
- 14:2519 carries, 170 yards and a touchdown. Drake
- 14:29London, 10 for 158. Touchdown. He almost had
- 14:32a second one right at the end of the first half,
- 14:34but he had that foot out of bounds. He won my
- 14:36fantasy week last week. That a boy, Drake. Much
- 14:39love from Banter of the Boys, Gridiron Updates.
- 14:43Josh Allen was just so pedestrian. It's weird
- 14:49to see him pedestrian because there's times that
- 14:51you watch him in games and he looks like just
- 14:54full command. He looks like a kid out in the
- 14:57playground. No worries at all. Just goes through
- 15:01it and just slangs the ball. Then he gets games
- 15:03like this where just nothing flows. Do you think
- 15:06maybe that the Bills not having a true number
- 15:09one receiver is hurting them? Are you stealing
- 15:12my notes again? I have a note here that says
- 15:15that I feel like they are missing a true number
- 15:18one. It is. I mean, Coleman, he looks like a
- 15:22nice two. The slot guy, Shakir. And then the
- 15:28two tight ends, this one's hurt right now. Kincaid
- 15:32went down. Yeah. James Cook is effective at times,
- 15:36and then he disappears in games too. Yeah. So.
- 15:42It was still a good football game in Atlanta.
- 15:44They came into Minnesota and controlled us pretty
- 15:46good. So they might be competing a little against
- 15:50the Bucs, so it'll be fun and interesting to
- 15:52see them. I know Pinnock's coming into his own
- 15:54a little bit. Second half, he didn't look great.
- 15:57Right. I think Atlanta needs more weapons, and
- 16:01we'll probably get into that later on when we're
- 16:04talking about our Week 7 games. They need a Coleman.
- 16:07Is it MacLeod? He has a weird number, like number
- 16:1334 as a receiver, too, or something like that.
- 16:17Yeah, Pitt's still quiet. I did see a redraft
- 16:21at the 2021 draft, and he still was in the top
- 16:2510 in the redraft, which I thought was kind of
- 16:27interesting. Obviously, Micah Parsons would have
- 16:32been number one. Actually, Trevor Lawrence was
- 16:34two out of that draft class, so interesting there.
- 16:41Yeah, it was a fun game. Both teams are both
- 16:46on winning records now, so I think they'll be
- 16:51both fine. Yeah, in the end, I think the Bills
- 16:54will be fine because their defense really got
- 16:57after Pennix in the second half. Only held Atlanta
- 17:00to three points, so it allowed Buffalo to come
- 17:03back. Josh Allen being pedestrian and that Falcons
- 17:07defense being improved, you still have limited
- 17:12room for mistakes there. Yeah, they were flying
- 17:14all over the ball. But all right, let's fire
- 17:17out. Did we have a video for that one? Yeah,
- 17:20let's fire that video up. Is it Bijan? Oh, Bijan.
- 17:25Bijan Robinson. He's in your top three as running
- 17:29backs in the NFL right now, isn't he? Yeah, he's
- 17:31got to be. I mean, I got him at one. So does
- 17:37the Packer fan in the corner. I like it. I mean,
- 17:41I like Barkley. I mean, McCaffrey would probably
- 17:43still be just because his dynamic out of the
- 17:48backfield. But we're talking 1A, 1B. And we continue
- 17:53to forget about Jonathan Taylor, too. Oh, true.
- 17:56I know. He's just so cool. He plays in Indianapolis,
- 17:58and I don't think a lot of the media gives a
- 18:00lot of love to him. I think you're. top like
- 18:03top five running backs he's just like i could
- 18:05have any one of them and i would be very much
- 18:08okay with that but do you feel like like with
- 18:10jonathan taylor ever since he had that contract
- 18:12dispute two three four years like everyone like
- 18:15kind of fell out of love with him yeah you know
- 18:20like and he's never fully recovered about it
- 18:22so nobody's like oh jonathan taylor but and he
- 18:25was like one of the first running backs to be
- 18:27like hey we should get paid more again and then
- 18:30We had the running back resurgence last year,
- 18:33which I totally loved and was a huge fan. Yeah,
- 18:35I love it. Running back. So it's fun to watch
- 18:37a team with a good running back and just dominate
- 18:39up and down the field. I mean, it's fun to watch,
- 18:42you know, the greatest show on turf, you know,
- 18:45past all the time, too. But I don't know something
- 18:48about a real good running game gets it to it.
- 18:50And also on the other side, a defense where this
- 18:52looks like the offense, especially when the offense,
- 18:54you know, is a good offense. And like the old
- 18:57Ravens defense. Lewis where they just completely
- 19:00shut him down. Really entertaining watch. Baseball
- 19:03check. We got a score for the game right now,
- 19:05Kevin. We got the Brewers and the Dodgers playing
- 19:08right now. Come on, Kev. Get it to us. 2 -1 Dodgers.
- 19:13What inning we got going on? Bottom fourth. Boo,
- 19:16Dodgers, boo. All right, with that note, we're
- 19:19moving on to the Sea Chickens, which Coach Schmelze
- 19:23likes to say up in Seattle versus the new and
- 19:27improved Jaguars out of Jacksonville. Sea Chickens
- 19:33getting the W, though. Jaguars didn't look new
- 19:35and improved. They did not. After coming off
- 19:38a few hot weeks. Mr. Sunshine had some struggles
- 19:44against that Seattle defense. Some. Oh, my gosh.
- 19:47It felt like he spent half the game on his back.
- 19:49Seven sacks. 17. Quarterback pressures, I think,
- 19:54is what I counted. Holy smokes. Look at this
- 19:57guy breaking down film, counting down pressures.
- 20:0042 pass attempts and 17 QB pressures on that.
- 20:06I'm not a mathematician, but that's like... He's
- 20:10not a mathlete. He's an athlete. That's right.
- 20:12I don't know. You're close to like 33 and a third
- 20:15repeating percentage. All right, you're way above
- 20:19my pay scale right now. But anyway. Speaking
- 20:21about numbers, Sam Darnold over 295 and two tutties.
- 20:26Yeah, Seattle's defense is overwhelmed. Trevor
- 20:29Lawrence, most of the day, they couldn't get
- 20:31it going. I think they had, you know, like 50
- 20:34yards on the ground. Yeah, their pass rushing
- 20:39balance just got, they got it so out of whack.
- 20:42It was the 42 attempts, 20 rushing attempts.
- 20:45And the game was close the entire time. Even
- 20:48if you're struggling with establishing a running
- 20:51game, trying to continue to at least run the
- 20:54ball and be like, hey, we're committed to this.
- 20:56As a Ravens fan, I always talk about this. Part
- 20:59of your identity, at least as a Ravens fan and
- 21:03the Ravens team, is running the ball. Tell us
- 21:05now. And you can't get away from that because
- 21:09as soon as you become one -dimensional, they
- 21:11start pinning their ears back and going after
- 21:13you. And what happens? He gets sacked seven times.
- 21:16He does. I will give the great Jaguars defense
- 21:20some credit. I mean, they shut down Seattle's
- 21:22rushing game and kind of kept them close. Kevin,
- 21:27you want to throw out the clip up here? This
- 21:29was kind of that difference -making play right
- 21:31here. You can see Sam Burrell hitting JSN on
- 21:34a long tutty. Boom. Puts him up there, 13 -3.
- 21:38And that was kind of the closest it really was
- 21:41most of the game. Yeah, Sam Darnold's just laying
- 21:45on the ball right now. That Seahawks team looks
- 21:49like they're going to contend. 49ers are still
- 21:52up there with them in the division, but their
- 21:54injuries, how long are they going to be able
- 21:56to hang with them? But Seattle's offense is looking
- 22:00good. They need to improve running the ball.
- 22:02They can't figure out if Walker or Charbonnet
- 22:05is going to be their future back. Neither of
- 22:08them really look like they want to take the job.
- 22:12But Seattle's defense is elite. They're playing
- 22:15good. Coach Smelty doesn't believe the 12th man's
- 22:19there anymore. I don't believe it either. Oh,
- 22:22you don't either? No, I think I'm on record with
- 22:24that. You are. All right, Seattle fans, you're
- 22:27hearing it straight from the Gridiron Updates.
- 22:30Jacob over here, you guys are gone. Tell them
- 22:32what you think. That's right. We're un -retiring
- 22:34the 12 jersey. We're un -retiring it. Oh, I like
- 22:39it. So, yeah, Seahawks probably going to make
- 22:49the playoffs, I'm going to predict right about
- 22:51now. I think the team right now, Sam's offense
- 22:53looks like he's good enough to get there, and
- 22:57he's continuing kind of what he was playing like
- 23:00last year. Sam Darnold's long balls to JSN kind
- 23:03of remind me. And I think one thing Seahawks
- 23:07Nation will probably appreciate is it reminds
- 23:10me of like Russell Wilson to Tyler Lockett. Ooh,
- 23:12that big moon ball. Yeah. It does. I guess on
- 23:15that play, it does kind of look like Lockett
- 23:17running that seam route. It looks so familiar.
- 23:20So yeah, Jaguars taking the L on this one. That
- 23:24puts them at, what are they, four and two right
- 23:25now? Four and two, yes. see i'm just i look at
- 23:29it once and i hopefully remember it so uh seahawks
- 23:33continue to outperform expectations so um good
- 23:37start of the year for them so we'll move on to
- 23:40our last game of the recap cowboys and the panthers
- 23:45in a thriller holy cow carolina with a walk -off
- 23:51field goal who saw that coming um I didn't. Regal
- 23:56doll. Revenge game. Revenge. He's been playing
- 23:59the last couple weeks he's been playing, but
- 24:01206 against his former team. I know. Oh, man.
- 24:05Your boy, Bryce Young, three tighties. This is
- 24:09a really good game for Bryce Young. It is. There's
- 24:11a, what, right at, like, towards the end of the
- 24:14game, the final drive that he had that allowed
- 24:18him to win the game. My notes here, 19 play drive,
- 24:22taking off six minutes. That's how you win football
- 24:24games. Absolutely. Fourth and four at the Dallas
- 24:2840. He gets that completion to Hunter Renfro,
- 24:31too. Those are confidence boosters for Bryce,
- 24:34for that team, for Carolina fans, because they've
- 24:39been waiting for this development. Ever since
- 24:42that benching last year, he's been a whole different
- 24:46quarterback. So hopefully this continues. to
- 24:49at least make him feel good, allow him to continue
- 24:52to at least improve and become a better quarterback,
- 24:55be that number one that he was drafted to be.
- 24:59Dak played decent. Yeah. Pickens looking real
- 25:04good. Yeah. It's going to be interesting to see
- 25:07what kind of drop -off there is, if any, when
- 25:10Lamb comes back. Yeah, when Lamb comes back.
- 25:12I mean, he could be good for Lamb. With the way
- 25:15that Pickens is playing? Because I think a lot
- 25:17of the conversation was at the beginning of the
- 25:19season, oh, everyone, you've got to double CD
- 25:22and see what Pickens can do. We're seeing what
- 25:26Pickens can do. Yeah, we're seeing what Pickens
- 25:28can do without CD Lamb on the field. So, like,
- 25:31okay, so maybe they're going to see. Maybe Pickens
- 25:35is going to see more doubles, and Seedy is going
- 25:37to have a lot more one -on -ones. Cowboys are
- 25:40going to be a tough out all year, especially
- 25:42with the firepower of Pickens and Lamb getting
- 25:44back. You're thinking when you're playing the
- 25:48Cowboys that you're going to have to score in
- 25:49the mid to high 20s because with that talent,
- 25:55they're going to score probably 20 a week. Bryce
- 26:01Young throwing those three touchdowns, one of
- 26:03them to his new star, Kevin. If you want to drop
- 26:05T -Mac coming, first -round draft pick out of
- 26:08Arizona, collecting his first of two. He had
- 26:13two. First of two today. Boom. Open in the back.
- 26:18Wide open. This is a back -and -forth game, most
- 26:23of the game. So the back, I was talking high
- 26:2520s. The Panthers, like you said, finished off
- 26:29that game with a long drive. Good win for them.
- 26:32That puts them at 500. When's the last time Carolina's
- 26:35been at 500? It's been a few years. If I remember,
- 26:40the Panther fan will probably drop some stats.
- 26:42It was only four years ago in three months. But
- 26:45it happens that way sometimes. How are you feeling
- 26:49about the Cowboys the rest of the year? I'm feeling
- 26:53okay. Just trying to really process it. The NFC
- 27:00East is becoming a lot, is really competitive
- 27:04right now. Becoming better. Giant scene, even
- 27:06without neighbors. Yeah, because the Giants putting
- 27:11into the Eagles was really surprising. If you
- 27:18didn't draft Skadaboo, or if he's a free agent,
- 27:23pick him up. He's probably gone at this point.
- 27:25Or buy your kid his jersey. He seems like he'd
- 27:29be a good kid jersey. Yeah, heck yeah. And the
- 27:32unfortunate memes about him, too, where he's
- 27:34going to have the greatest three -year run ever.
- 27:36And then he's going to just, the way that he
- 27:38plays football, it just brings you back to, like,
- 27:4190s, early 2000s. The latest way, Peyton Hillis.
- 27:46Yeah. Who made the Madden cover for one year.
- 27:50And then, sadly, he got injured and kind of disappeared
- 27:53out of the league. Panthers, are they going to
- 27:58reach 500 this year? I think it's possible. You
- 28:02think so? I haven't fully looked at the rest
- 28:04of their schedule in CNN, but yeah, I think it's
- 28:08very doable. They're not easy out anymore is
- 28:11what you're kind of feeling right now. And Falcons,
- 28:14you don't know what you're going to get yet.
- 28:16I think Falcons is too Jekyll and Hyde. But you
- 28:19got Saints. Saints are just kind of a pushover
- 28:22right now. And the Panthers. destroyed the falcons
- 28:25two weeks ago right so yeah yeah which is really
- 28:29interesting so yeah um surprising finish but
- 28:35it was fun yeah job panthers um like to see the
- 28:39parody in the nfl yeah and you know each team
- 28:42getting an opportunity and changing Three and
- 28:45three, maybe a whole new different Panthers down
- 28:48there. I still hate that roar in that stadium
- 28:51whenever they roar. Oh, my gosh, it's so annoying.
- 28:55But, yeah, Rob's pet peeve is coming out to a
- 29:00book near you. All right, I think that's going
- 29:03to finish up our game. What, week six? Week six.
