Transcript
- 0:00laced up let's go it's time for banter with the
- 0:04boys welcome back to banter with the boys gridiron
- 0:15updates our tent talk episode i'm here with rob
- 0:19roberto i'm back i'm excited for some news so
- 0:24you can help me out in my fantasy football league
- 0:26well we'll just see if i can help with that or
- 0:28not uh kev Of course, getting everything done
- 0:31behind the cameras for us, as always. Let's head
- 0:34right into our injuries. I only have a few listed.
- 0:37I'm sure there is more. Everyone's injured at
- 0:41this point. For sure. Texas running back Joe
- 0:43Mixon, it came out that there's really no timetable
- 0:46at this point, unfortunately, for the Texans.
- 0:49So that's just unfortunate for them. They really
- 0:52could have him back, as we talked about. in our
- 0:55recap episode. Which doesn't surprise me. At
- 0:57the beginning of the year, there was conversations
- 0:58that his injury might be seasoned. They didn't
- 1:02really have a timetable even then. Yeah, exactly.
- 1:04So that's no surprise, which really sucks for
- 1:07them. But the running back, Brookie Marks, has
- 1:10kind of been shining a little bit, helping out
- 1:13a little bit with Chubb also. Yeah, Nick Chubb
- 1:16didn't really have that bad of a day. No. Hey,
- 1:21Dan, playing football in the NFL. Playing football
- 1:23in the NFL. Yes, good call. Good call. Good call.
- 1:27Here we go. Don't get more. Here we go, yes.
- 1:30The Chargers lose Amarian Hampton to IR for his
- 1:34hamstring. So now they really just have Hassan
- 1:38Haskins left on their roster. Pick him up. Fantasy
- 1:43football. There you go. Yep, there's a fantasy
- 1:45pickup, Hassan Haskins. That's probably the guy.
- 1:48Toting the rock at the moment unless somebody
- 1:50else gets picked up here by the end of the week.
- 1:52They're going to need somebody because right
- 1:53now that is it on the old depth chart. Let's
- 1:58see. And again, with Najee being out for the
- 2:01season. You got to go pick up another running
- 2:03back anyway at this point. Yeah, I can see definitely
- 2:05somebody coming off the street and coming back
- 2:08and putting the football pants on. I can't deal
- 2:12with you. I can't deal with you. All right. New
- 2:13England running back Antonio Gibson tears his
- 2:16ACL. We did mention that already. Just sucks
- 2:18for New England, who, again, still has reminder
- 2:22Stevenson. And who is it? Trayvon Henderson.
- 2:25Yep. Yep. So look for Trayvon to continue to
- 2:28gain more touches, I'd imagine. And then I just
- 2:32kind of put in here the entire Ravens team. The
- 2:34whole thing. Just the whole thing. The whole
- 2:36kit and caboodle. Yep, the whole freaking thing.
- 2:39Just a little bit of news here. Bengals trade
- 2:42for Joe Flacco. Lucky. So I'd imagine he will
- 2:46end up getting the start over Browning sooner
- 2:49rather than later after Browning has what? eight
- 2:53interceptions in four games or something already.
- 2:55It's just not good. He's just not getting rid
- 3:00of the ball fast enough. He's proven to the Vikings
- 3:03why we shouldn't have let him go. Free agent
- 3:07C .J. Gardner -Johnson to the Ravens practice
- 3:11squad. They kind of need bodies, so it doesn't
- 3:16make sense to me. Warm up, Chris. And then, wait
- 3:19a minute. I believe they also just traded an
- 3:22edge rusher today, too, I believe. We're not
- 3:27going live. Jay could probably confirm this.
- 3:30I'm pretty sure they traded some sort of edge
- 3:31rusher today for safety as well, and I can't
- 3:34remember who it was. I don't see it. Yeah, well,
- 3:37it's out there somewhere, okay? There's a lot
- 3:39of information. When you have your own podcast.
- 3:43Let's see. Las Vegas linebacker Jermaine Pratt,
- 3:47veteran. Veteran linebacker released by the Raiders
- 3:51today, and now. He was old bangle, if I believe,
- 3:54right? That sounds right, yes. I believe everybody's
- 3:57now kind of having a hissy. about potential rumblings
- 4:03of what's going on in that locker room. Is Pratt
- 4:07being used as an example to try to set the Raiders
- 4:11straight? A culture shift? 100%. What's going
- 4:15on in Las Vegas right now? Pete Carroll's kind
- 4:19of like a positive players coach type of guy
- 4:21and just letting the guy go. He didn't even go
- 4:24to the... game just recently with the Colts.
- 4:29He didn't make the trip. And it was just released,
- 4:31I think, yesterday or whatever. So it's interesting
- 4:34to see what's going on in Vegas right now. Well,
- 4:36it's been interesting. It's been going on in
- 4:37Vegas for years, honestly. Well, for years. But
- 4:39they had optimism, you know, bringing Pete Carroll.
- 4:41Oh, bringing Geno Smith, who had, you know, some
- 4:44success here and there with Pete Carroll. So,
- 4:46you know, there was optimism there, I think.
- 4:48Max Crosby. No, I agree. There was optimism.
- 4:51But I'm also saying how corrupt was the organization
- 4:55already, you know? Five football games going
- 5:00to be changing the culture that quickly? I don't
- 5:03know. Does it work that fast? Is it more than
- 5:06ownership then? Who knows? You're calling them
- 5:10out. We've got to get them on the pod. What's
- 5:13his name? When's the last time Oakland's been
- 5:14good? Ten years? I don't know. Fifteen years?
- 5:20Good question. They were relevant, I think, a
- 5:23few times when they had Carr running. That's
- 5:27probably the last time. Yeah, you're probably
- 5:30right. And they still kicked him out. Yeah, they
- 5:32let him go. I mean, if we're calling that their
- 5:36best years with Derek Carr, the guy that they
- 5:38wanted to get rid of. It can only go up then.
- 5:41It is. Let's see, a couple fines handed out this
- 5:46week. Handed out money. Arizona head coach Jonathan
- 5:50Gannon fined $100K for sideline interaction with
- 5:54the, oh gosh. Running back. Yeah, I'm not even
- 5:58attempting. Running back for the Cardinals, who
- 6:00dropped the ball prior to entering the end zone.
- 6:04And, I mean, it's just, again, God, we just saw
- 6:08it last week. The lock -in. Just lock -in. Lock
- 6:11-in. And, again, in a game, just a bad game for
- 6:14the Cardinals all the way around. Is that going
- 6:18to ruin that locker room now for the season?
- 6:20It's going to be weird. I would imagine it's
- 6:21going to be weird because from the angle I saw,
- 6:23it just looked like he was yelling at him, right?
- 6:25But allegedly, he got him pretty good in the
- 6:28chest or somewhere. And everybody was like, oh,
- 6:30don't put your hands on the guy. And I'm like,
- 6:32oh, yeah, I mean, for sure. These are all supposed
- 6:35to be professionals at the end of the day, coaches
- 6:38included. So what are you doing? You know what
- 6:41I mean? Now, don't get me wrong. That's just
- 6:42a football thing, too, sometimes. Yeah, when
- 6:44I played football in high school, my head coach
- 6:46head -butted me. I know. I was wearing a helmet.
- 6:49He was wearing nothing. Yeah. And it didn't hurt
- 6:51me or you. No, of course not. But I was more
- 6:54dazed, like, what just happened? I did not see
- 6:57that coming. Lock in. Coach, lock in. So. Yeah,
- 7:03I don't know. You can't. There's too many videos,
- 7:05too many TVs, too many eyes, too many opinions.
- 7:09There's so much more than that. Just don't do
- 7:10it in general. I agree. I agree. And then Jerry
- 7:13Jones fined $250 ,000, pocket change for him,
- 7:17for a, quote, obscene gesture. He says, quote,
- 7:20I just put up the wrong show on the hand. Allegedly,
- 7:24he was like... He was trying to say number one.
- 7:27Yeah, I guess. But he allegedly keeps saying
- 7:31he was talking to the Cowboys fans that were
- 7:33at the game and blah, blah, blah. And then, yeah,
- 7:35just put up the wrong one. So whatever, man.
- 7:38I don't know. Because he was smiling and stuff.
- 7:40So that's his defense. But anyway, old Jerry.
- 7:44Old Jerry. Cost himself $250 ,000. I put in here,
- 7:49is it time to attach the, quote, hot seat to
- 7:52Mike McDaniel at this point? I mean, you blew
- 7:56a 17 -0 lead. It's not going well. You still
- 7:59got your starting quarterback, which we've said
- 8:01was kind of the thing last year. Remember when
- 8:03they were struggling? We were like, well, he
- 8:04doesn't have Tua. Well, now he has Tua, and things
- 8:07still aren't sweet. You know what I mean? Now
- 8:10you're without Tyreek, right? But you had Tyreek
- 8:12earlier, and things weren't sweet. You know what
- 8:13I mean? So is it him or Tua? One of them's got
- 8:19to go, and usually the coaches are going to go
- 8:20for sure first. Tua's play hasn't been consistent
- 8:24either. Right. So, I mean. And it's crazy to
- 8:28think that we were talking about the Dolphins
- 8:29being maybe like an AFC championship contender
- 8:32a couple years back, a few years back. You know
- 8:33what I mean? Yeah, they started off that one
- 8:35year like 8 -1 or something like that. And they
- 8:37pretty much had the same squad, maybe a little
- 8:40different defensively. Definitely aging. Yeah,
- 8:45it's going to be interesting. They just don't
- 8:49look like a team that wants to win football games
- 8:51right now. um hot c i definitely back to that
- 8:54him daniel so maybe um is kevin savansky there
- 8:59you know it's not they have so many competitive
- 9:01l's it's it's hard to now after really watching
- 9:04you know again getting the opportunity with jackson
- 9:08dart but now you know alan got this weekend either
- 9:11so yeah you know how much more leash does somebody
- 9:13like him get yeah he i think he definitely is
- 9:17on the we'll see a coach or two fired this year
- 9:19i think so What do you think? Under or over a
- 9:23week and a half. So you think next week or two
- 9:25weeks there'll be one? At least two weeks. Nah,
- 9:30it's too early. It'll be week seven. Nah, it's
- 9:33too early. Two weeks. Okay. We won't need to
- 9:37spend a lot of time on this because this is all,
- 9:39you can just literally Google this and this will
- 9:41come up immediately. Mark Sanchez gets stabbed
- 9:45after trying to beat the living crap out of a
- 9:47guy. What's going on here? He's facing felony
- 9:50charges. It's a whole thing, man. So just go
- 9:52look up Mark Sanchez and you can read all about
- 9:55it. Yeah. More importantly, though, Jaden Daniels
- 9:58returns and becomes the quickest quarterback
- 10:00to 1 ,000 rushing yards. doing it in 20 games.
- 10:04Not bad. Lamar Jackson, Justin Fields, and RG3
- 10:08did it in 21 games. That's really interesting.
- 10:11I suppose Vic's not there. I'm curious. Now I'm
- 10:15curious when he did do it. That's just who else
- 10:17I mentioned. I didn't dig too far deeper into
- 10:20that one. There's a couple of them I did here,
- 10:21though, because there's a couple of records.
- 10:23There's even more. There's franchise records
- 10:25that happened, too, that I didn't go into because
- 10:27there's all sorts of things going on right now.
- 10:29But Keenan Allen becomes the fastest receiver
- 10:31to 1 ,000 receptions in his 159th game. Marvin
- 10:36Harrison held the record prior, doing it in 167
- 10:39games. That's weird. That's a weird stat. 1 ,000
- 10:44receptions? Key nouns are now considered an older
- 10:48player. But as it's written here, the fastest
- 10:52receiver. The fastest in 15 years. Just weird.
- 10:57The fastest one to get to 1 ,000 receptions.
- 11:00No, I know. But also, as Marvin Harrison won,
- 11:02how many people have gotten over 1 ,008? It sounds
- 11:07funny. You'd think Justin Jeffers is the fastest
- 11:11to get to 3 ,000. Sure, but they still got ways
- 11:13to go. I know, but it's weird to hear an older
- 11:15player hit a fastest. No, no, I hear you. One
- 11:18that's allegedly taking a step back, and he's
- 11:21just like, here's a record for you. He also moves
- 11:25to the top 15 all -time in receptions, passing
- 11:28Heinz Ward. Let's see. Sean Payton passes Bill
- 11:32Parcells on all -time wins list. Derek Henry
- 11:37also ties Walter Payton for fifth all -time with
- 11:40110 rushing touchdowns this weekend. Obviously,
- 11:42he's going to surpass that this season, no problemo.
- 11:46Yep. Emmitt Smith would be the leader at 164.
- 11:50LT, LaDainian Tomlinson, at 145 a second. Marcus
- 11:54Allen, the old Rams. Raiders. I'm sorry, Raiders
- 11:58and KC. I don't know why I said Rams. I don't
- 12:01know either. At 123. And then AP. All day at
- 12:06120 in fourth. All Hall of Famers right there.
- 12:11All HOFs. Kev, if you want to go ahead and start
- 12:15playing our clip here for the news segment. Rob,
- 12:20you had this question for me. Yeah, so this play
- 12:23in particular was called Roughing the Passer.
- 12:27I don't understand what the defender is supposed
- 12:31to do here. He almost takes them down about as
- 12:35nicely, I think, as you possibly could sack a
- 12:38quarterback. It looked like it was soft, except
- 12:40when you get to this angle, his face mask ends
- 12:43up hitting the back of the helmet hard as hell.
- 12:46And that's totally why they threw the flag. It's
- 12:49only because the quarterback's head got touched.
- 12:51I swear to you. He comes in, it is helmet to
- 12:55helmet, face mask to the back of the helmet,
- 12:57and that's why they had to throw the flag. So
- 12:59you're almost telling the defender what he needs
- 13:01to do is lower his back in the middle. No, just
- 13:05lower his shoulder into the middle of his back.
- 13:08Which sounds worse, right? For sure it does.
- 13:11I guess you got to put the head across the back
- 13:14in that sense. Somehow, you know, I mean, I feel
- 13:17like that was the nicest, nicest. A lot he can
- 13:20do there. No, that's your argument is like, what
- 13:22else should he have done? Destroy him. Obviously,
- 13:25he needs to destroy him. Just destroy him through
- 13:27the middle. He needs to literally just cut him
- 13:29in half. Wow. But yeah. Yeah. No, but that's
- 13:36that's why they'll touch the head. Yeah, they're
- 13:38going to they're going to get you every time
- 13:40you touch the head. Yeah. But but obviously,
- 13:42I mean, how do you feel the refs have been this
- 13:44year? Overall, not a ton of mistakes. I mean,
- 13:49there's been a few here and there. Do you think
- 13:51the Vikings ball went off the... Ooh, actually,
- 13:54I do have a problem with the Vikings game and
- 13:56the refs. Okay, go ahead. I don't think it was
- 13:58Derisov still in the game, but that game -winning
- 14:01play... False start on the left tackle. Heck
- 14:03yes, there was. Heck yes, there was. Now, one
- 14:07of Williams... So missed kicks went off the camera
- 14:11cable going across the stadium. That's why it
- 14:14went wide right. It went up and touched the cable
- 14:16and went right. Now, of course, those stadiums
- 14:19are designed for soccer. So again, sorry, I'm
- 14:21nerding out again. So the cables are all suspended
- 14:24from different areas, you know what I mean, for
- 14:25soccer. So they didn't see that. So there was
- 14:28no re -kick there, which is. I didn't know that
- 14:31until after the game. You didn't notice it? Yeah.
- 14:34No one noticed it until after. But I noticed
- 14:36live for sure that false start. I was like, oh,
- 14:38man. And then they just didn't call it. And I
- 14:41felt weird. I was happy, but I felt weird. But
- 14:43did you see the Tennessee game where the ball
- 14:45hit off the camera itself? i didn't see that
- 14:48oh yeah so there was a deflection and so um that
- 14:51went off and that came back and so they called
- 14:54it incomplete but they missed the rule actually
- 14:57the rule is if that happens it should be a replay
- 15:00of down but the replay assistant and the refs
- 15:03on the field all miss it they just went to the
- 15:05next down as an incomplete pass so um now that's
- 15:08interesting just wow two two you know i feel
- 15:11like that's gonna be talked about this week between
- 15:12that right there that you just talked about in
- 15:14williams kick i don't sorry his name's will i
- 15:17just like calling him i know you kept saying
- 15:19william i think it's the f1 in you yeah i don't
- 15:22know but yeah yeah check out our f1 show by the
- 15:26way uh anyway shameless plug but where were we
- 15:30talking about oh yeah but i bet the refs uh i
- 15:33feel like that's gonna be talked about this week
- 15:34is like hey by the way guys It hits off the camera.
- 15:39So question about call. It's posted on our X,
- 15:42so check it out if you want to look into it and
- 15:44zoom it down and pause it and do all that fun
- 15:47stuff. You know what it is. You know what it
