- 1:11I am your host. Okay, you're chief your great poob. Ah your back road diamonds. Okay chief head of the table chief
- 1:21Bag meteorologist. Okay. I am all of these things and more and I am a former GM who still is not on a team right now
- 1:30But best believe I will be on one very very very soon
- 1:35I'm all these things and more but the most important title that I love the most. I'm your host
- 1:43Kale you already know what I'm getting ready to say. It's been a while. I know I get it
- 1:47But guess what we have to do it. Okay on three one two three. Let's lock in
- 1:52All right folks, let's just get into the meat and potatoes of everything that I want to
- 2:01Do here. So please follow me around to get away from it you're on an earth that so many feudisms!
- 2:07All right folks, let's just get into the meat and potatoes of everything that has gone so
- 2:24far.
- 2:25Okay, I wasn't going to do anything about Monday night football, but you know what?
- 2:31That's because of how they lost in the team, in the noise that they've been making since
- 2:38the start of this season.
- 2:40I'm going to have to do it.
- 2:41Okay, now this is going to turn into someone of a quick little rant, but it needs to be
- 2:45said.
- 2:46Okay, so the Bengals lost last night.
- 2:49Yeah, the Bengals lost to the commanders last night.
- 2:53Now, if you would have told me that the Bengals would have lost last night, I probably would
- 2:58have called you a liar.
- 2:59I definitely would have.
- 3:01Jane and Daniels was lighting it up.
- 3:04Okay, lighting it up.
- 3:06Every single time they were hiking the ball, every single time that he was dropping back,
- 3:11he was making a play.
- 3:12Okay, he showed he showed a lot last night.
- 3:16He really did.
- 3:17This is if you're a commander's fan, you have to love what you saw last night.
- 3:22Okay, but I think we need to really get into the nooks and crannies of everything because
- 3:29honestly speaking here, we need to have a conversation about Joe Burrow, you know, because
- 3:33I think it's I think it's time that we do so because Joe Burrow Joe Burrow has been
- 3:39trash.
- 3:40Absolute trash.
- 3:41And I say that in the most respectful way I possibly can, he has been absolute trash.
- 3:47Okay, now I'm going to read these stats off and I want you to just, you know, try to
- 3:52paint a picture in your head of how you think the game turned out.
- 3:56Okay.
- 3:57Jane Daniels was 21 for 23, 254 yards, two touchdowns.
- 4:01He averaged 11 yards per attempt and a 91.3 completion percentage.
- 4:06Okay, Joe Burrow was 29 for 38, 324 yards, three touchdowns, 8.5 yards per attempt and
- 4:13a 76.3 completion percentage.
- 4:16Now when we look at those stats, you're probably thinking, Oh, Joe Burrow, you know, put had
- 4:21put up some pretty good numbers and went down.
- 4:23They probably won the game.
- 4:24No, they didn't.
- 4:25Jane Daniels won.
- 4:26Jane Daniels, now there was a moment in time where it looked like they've the Bengals could
- 4:31have made a comeback, but they didn't.
- 4:34They failed once again.
- 4:37And you know, if you are a Bengals fan, I don't want to hear no excuses.
- 4:42I don't want to hear any more excuses.
- 4:44I don't because you know why?
- 4:45If this is any other quarterback, if this is Lamar, if this is Daniel Jones, if this
- 4:50is that press guy, if this is Josh Allen, if this is Justin Herbert, if there's if this
- 4:55is any other quarterback, everyone is is making everyone is saying, Oh, there's no excuses
- 5:02for their for their play.
- 5:03There's no excuses for their performance and whatnot.
- 5:06They are supposed to be, you know, the one that that can, you know, carry the team on
- 5:10their back and lead them to victory and whatnot.
- 5:13So why Joe Burrow hasn't done that yet?
- 5:16Why?
- 5:17And granted, again, don't want to hear no excuses.
- 5:20I do not want to hear any excuses because you know why?
- 5:24This man literally carried a Bengals team who statistically had had the one of the worst
- 5:32offensive lines in NFL history, carry them to a Super Bowl, almost one such Super Bowl,
- 5:40right?
- 5:41And since then, everybody has just been trying to feast on that Super Bowl run when it's
- 5:48gone.
- 5:49It's gone.
- 5:50It's gone.
- 5:51The confetti has already been been dropped.
- 5:54The celebrations have already concluded.
- 5:57The trophies are already in the players offices and, you know, houses of residents and whatever
- 6:03the case may be.
- 6:04Okay.
- 6:05The fact of the matter is since that since that Super Bowl run and since he's gotten,
- 6:10you know, his deal, he has not shown a whole lot.
- 6:12He has actually regressed a whole lot if we're being real here.
- 6:17And that's something that I don't think not a lot of people want to talk about.
- 6:19If you're getting paid the amount of money that Joe Burroughs getting paid, you need
- 6:24to step up to the plate.
- 6:26You need to step up to the plate because the fact of the matter is Jaden Daniels was was
- 6:32doing his thing.
- 6:34Okay.
- 6:35He was doing his thing.
- 6:36If I'm not mistaken and someone someone can fact check me for for me if they want to,
- 6:43the commanders never punted the ball yesterday last night, even on fourth down, they were
- 6:49still going for it.
- 6:50That's just the mentality that Jaden Daniels have.
- 6:53And granted, I understand it's still the the season is still, you know, it's still very
- 6:59early and all those different types of things.
- 7:01But at some point you have to win a game.
- 7:04Okay.
- 7:05You are in the business of football is winning games.
- 7:08Okay.
- 7:09Winning games can determine if you get another contract, if you get another opportunity, if
- 7:15you get, you know, another chance, all those different types of things.
- 7:19And when you're not winning, that's a stain on you.
- 7:24Right.
- 7:25And what you cannot do is continue to have a fan base and to have, you know, media media
- 7:33personalities that want to try to give Joe Burrough and the Bengals bail when whole time,
- 7:39if we're being real here, they've been, they've been talking a whole lot of smack this off
- 7:43season and especially the start of this season.
- 7:46They've been, they've been, they've been yapping off.
- 7:49So now that you got punched in the mouth and you've been getting punched in the mouth,
- 7:54it's time for y'all to step up.
- 7:56It is.
- 7:57I don't want to hear any more excuses for Joe Burrough.
- 7:59I do not.
- 8:00You got paid, you got paid top dollar.
- 8:04Okay.
- 8:05You're, you are tied of being one.
- 8:08Well, you was being before that press guy got his deal.
- 8:12Well, you were tied with Trevor Lawrence as being the highest paid quarterbacks.
- 8:16And since you guys have gotten that deal, you guys have not done Jack Diddley squat.
- 8:21You haven't, you have regressed dramatically.
- 8:25And if we're being real here, that this team right now for the Bengals, they are not going
- 8:31to win a whole lot of games.
- 8:33They are not.
- 8:34And I don't want to hear, Oh, he might be heard or, Oh, I was dealing with a lingering
- 8:40injury and whatnot.
- 8:42Oh, I don't think my wrist was 100% healed, but I still went out there and tried to play
- 8:47because I care about my teammates and I want to win.
- 8:51I don't want to hear it.
- 8:53I don't want to hear it anymore.
- 8:55The time is now to cut out the excuses for Joe Burrough.
- 9:00It is over.
- 9:01It is over.
- 9:02Okay.
- 9:03It's time that people have real conversations about Joe Burrough and his performance.
- 9:10It is lackluster.
- 9:11It is not good enough.
- 9:13He needs to do more.
- 9:14That offense has to do more.
- 9:16And if we're being real here, if they do not do more heads are going to roll.
- 9:23Heads are going to roll.
- 9:25People are going to lose their jobs.
- 9:26People are going to lose their jobs because since that Super Bowl run, it's starting to
- 9:32look like a fluke.
- 9:34Everything it's starting to look like a fluke.
- 9:36Even when you look on the defensive side, there's not a whole lot on the defense.
- 9:39It's not.
- 9:41You have Trey Hendrickson who, honestly speaking, he probably doesn't even want to be there
- 9:44because he's looking for more money.
- 9:48He was looking for more money.
- 9:50He even said during the offseason, if I don't get paid, I'm going to retire.
- 9:55They still haven't done it.
- 9:56I don't know why he's still doing it, but I mean, hey, you know, hey, that's, that's,
- 10:00you know, that's, that's them.
- 10:02But the fact of the matter is the bangles, you know, are put on this high pedestal by
- 10:09media personalities and by everybody else.
- 10:12I don't see it.
- 10:13I don't see it personally.
- 10:15And they're in my, I don't see it.
- 10:17I don't know what average quarterback.
- 10:19Okay.
- 10:20How is it that Andy Dalton was able to get a W for the Panthers before the bangles?
- 10:27How is that?
- 10:28How is that?
- 10:30And mind you, the Panthers went up against the Raiders who, if we're being real here,
- 10:35the Raiders are not a team that you just take lightly for.
- 10:39They have some pieces on that team.
- 10:42So I don't understand what's going on with the bangles.
- 10:45I don't know what's going on with Joe Burrow.
- 10:47I don't know if it's the, the hair dyed that must have gotten to his brain and whatnot,
- 10:51but whatever it is, it is not good folks.
- 10:54It is not good at all.
- 10:56Now also my soap box.
- 10:59Let's get into the other stuff that really needs to be talking about needs to be addressed.
- 11:02Okay.
- 11:03Andy Dalton looked like Andy Dalton.
- 11:06Okay.
- 11:07Andy Dalton put on a show.
- 11:09He did his thing.
- 11:10He proved why he, why the Panthers should, should roll with him moving forward, possibly
- 11:16the, the rest of the season, honestly.
- 11:20And you know, to, how can I say this?
- 11:24How can I say this?
- 11:25How can I say this bingo?
- 11:26Got it.
- 11:27Like Bob just came up.
- 11:29We, we have to give a little bit of, a little bit of grace to Bryce young because Bryce
- 11:34young was put into a situation where, you know, he, he, there's not a whole lot of growth.
- 11:42Right.
- 11:43There's not a lot of opportunities for him to, to, you know, to grab.
- 11:47Well, you know what?
- 11:48No, no, I scratch that.
- 11:50I can't do it.
- 11:51Andy Dalton did his thing.
- 11:53Andy Dalton did his thing.
- 11:54Okay.
- 11:55Let me, let me just read you the stats, his stat line.
- 11:5826 for 37, 319 yards, three touchdowns.
- 12:02He averaged 8.6 yards per attempt and he had a 70.3 completion percentage.
- 12:07Right.
- 12:08On top of that, here are some junky nuggets.
- 12:10Okay.
- 12:11Chubber Hubbard finished the game with 21 carries for 114 yards.
- 12:16Deontay finished the game with a reception for 122 yards and one touchdown.
- 12:21And Andy Dalton's last game that had a similar stat line to this was last year, week three.
- 12:28You know, that stat line was 34 for 58, 361 yards, two touchdowns, according to NFL pro
- 12:36shout out to NFL pro.
- 12:38Now listen, I get it.
- 12:40Andy Dalton is a veteran.
- 12:42So he's seen a lot of things.
- 12:44He himself has somewhat been in somewhat of a similar situation that Bryce Young has been
- 12:50in.
- 12:51Right.
- 12:52Because a lot of times, a lot of those bangles teams, they were not that good.
- 12:55Now listen, they, they, they were a team that, you know, they can't.
- 12:58They can, they can give you, they can give you a good whooping.
- 13:01Okay.
- 13:02And they can win, but they're not this super dominant team that is, you know, that is going
- 13:07to strike fear into the hearts of men.
- 13:09No, that's not what they were.
- 13:11Okay.
- 13:12That's just not so Andy Dalton, he's been around the block for, for a while.
- 13:16So he knows, he knows some things.
- 13:18He knows how to, how to win with less and all those different types of things.
- 13:23And he may do with what he had and they won the game.
- 13:27That's just what it is.
- 13:28Case in point.
- 13:29Now, I know there were, I know there, there was an article that came out from, from Adam
- 13:35Schefter, you know, saying that there were teams that were interested in probably trading
- 13:40for Bryce Young, unless it's a team like, you know, that, that comes from the, the Shaw
- 13:46McVay tree or the Kyle Shanahan tree.
- 13:50And even then I wouldn't trust a whole lot of teams unless it's the Rams directly or
- 13:55the 49ers directly.
- 13:57I don't really trust anybody else going after Bryce Young.
- 13:59Bryce Young is a project.
- 14:01That is a project.
- 14:03And if you do not have the right coaching, you know, in place, and if you do not have
- 14:10everything else, an offensive line, some weapons in a good run game, you're going to see the
- 14:17exact same thing that, that the Panthers saw with Bryce Young.
- 14:21And granted, Bryce Young didn't, didn't ask to be put in this situation.
- 14:25He didn't.
- 14:26He didn't.
- 14:27You have an incompetent owner who is very sporadic, who is, who was basically somewhat
- 14:34of, I would say the more, what's the more unstable version of Jerry Jones.
- 14:42That's the best way to, to, to describe David Tepper.
- 14:45David Tepper is someone who he, he made a reckless decision.
- 14:51He made a very reckless decision in choosing to get Bryce Young and not, you know, not
- 14:59surround him with, with some good talent, good weapons and all those different types
- 15:04of things.
- 15:05And, you know, he struggled and then not to mention the coach.
- 15:08I mean, it's just a, it's a plethora of different things that play a role in the demise of
- 15:15Bryce Young.
- 15:16And, you know, it's, that it opens up to a, a bigger conversation.
- 15:22And quite frankly, you know, I'm not going to be the one to do it because I'm not a
- 15:26Panthers fan.
- 15:27And quite frankly, I don't think nobody really cares about the Panthers at this point.
- 15:32Now, moving on to Tua.
- 15:33Tua gets put on the IR.
- 15:35Now, if you don't know what IR, that means that he is going to be out for a minimum,
- 15:40a minimum of four games, but he can be out longer.
- 15:44When we look at this, it's, you know, it's definitely the right decision to be made simply
- 15:48because the Dolphins are in a situation now where they are in limbo.
- 15:53Okay.
- 15:54They are trying to figure out exactly what are, what do, what are they going to do moving
- 15:59forward?
- 16:00Right.
- 16:01They are trying to figure out if they are going to continue to move forward with Tua,
- 16:07or they're going to have to make, you know, a business decision and possibly, you know,
- 16:12move off of him and then figure something else.
- 16:14Right.
- 16:15That's the situation that they're in at this point.
- 16:17And so basically what they said was, listen, you take the time all you need, see all the
- 16:22doctors that you need to see, get all the, you know, get all the testing done and all
- 16:26those different types of things.
- 16:28So that guess what?
- 16:30Once we get all the information that we need, we can come down, we can, and we can make a,
- 16:34um, make a decision on if we want to continue to move forward with you, or if we're going
- 16:40to suggest that you possibly medically retire.
- 16:43That's it.
- 16:44That's it.
- 16:45That, that's all, that, that's all that needs to be said.
- 16:48It doesn't need to be, no, oh man, I think he should possibly retire.
- 16:52Listen, you're not a doctor.
- 16:54You don't know.
- 16:56You don't know.
- 16:57Granted, we've seen a lot of head injuries with him.
- 17:00Who knows?
- 17:01Maybe he doesn't have any CTE at all.
- 17:04Maybe, you know, it really hasn't affected his brain or anything.
- 17:07But until those reports come out, we all will not, we will, yeah, all of us, especially
- 17:15football fans and especially, uh, dolphins fans just have to wait and see what happens
- 17:21at this point.
- 17:22Now moving on to Justin Fields.
- 17:25Okay.
- 17:26Justin Fields, you know, my guy, my guy, my guy, my guy, my guy, my guy, my man, 50 grand,
- 17:37okay, because you know why the sixth time, six times, you know, I'm not even going to
- 17:43do it.
- 17:44I'm not going to do it.
- 17:45I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not going to do it.
- 17:47I was actually going to name this episode Victory Monday, but I'm not going to do it.
- 17:50No, no, no.
- 17:51We know what I might not.
- 17:52I still might.
- 17:53I'm rambling.
- 17:54Who cares?
- 17:55Justin Fields has been doing, he's been doing his thing.
- 17:58Now I'm not saying he's, you know, been lighting up and having three touchdowns and
- 18:02two touchdowns and saying those different types of things.
- 18:05But this past, this past Sunday was probably his best game so far.
- 18:09I probably say so.
- 18:11He, you know, scored two touchdowns.
- 18:13He ran one in and then he threw one to Calvin Austin, which was actually really good.
- 18:18But you know, let, let, let's get off with this, with this stat line though.
- 18:21Okay.
- 18:22So Justin Fields was 20, 25 for 32, 245 yards.
- 18:26They say one touchdown, but technically it was two touchdowns because one of them was
- 18:29a rushing touchdown.
- 18:31One interception, he average 7.7 yards per attempt and he had a 78.1 completion percentage.
- 18:37Now coming into this game, a lot of people like, like myself definitely had a feeling
- 18:43that this was going to be somewhat of an old school street fight on the field.
- 18:48This was going to be a very slow pace physical game.
- 18:53This wasn't going to be a high flying, you know, ooze and Oz type of game.
- 18:57This is going to be an old school type of game where who's run the game is going to,
- 19:03is going to win.
- 19:04Who's defensive line and offensive line is going to, you know, to win the time of possession.
- 19:11And you know, originally, well, not, not originally, but at first it was the chargers.
- 19:16The chargers were, were doing their thing at first, but then, you know, as, as the,
- 19:21as the second half, you know, started and whatnot and the Steelers were able to make
- 19:25adjustments and whatnot, the Steelers did their thing.
- 19:29They did their thing.
- 19:30That's, that's just what it is.
- 19:32It's nothing, you know, super crazy.
- 19:36It's nothing like, oh man, they were just dominant from a, from the first quarter to
- 19:40the fourth quarter.
- 19:42No.
- 19:43Okay.
- 19:44They did their thing.
- 19:45They've been actually doing a pretty good job.
- 19:46I think the, the only knock with them, we actually know what, no, no, no, I'll say that.
- 19:51I'll say that for, for, for the overreaction.
- 19:53Well, you know what?
- 19:54No, no.
- 19:55I'll talk about it.
- 19:56The only thing with the Steelers is they start slow, right?
- 20:02And sometimes when you start slow, you know, it, it, it just, it can hurt you more than
- 20:08help you, right?
- 20:09And I get it.
- 20:10Not every team, you know, come, you know, start, starts the game guns, blazing, guns,
- 20:14blazing and whatnot, but you gotta, you gotta have some oomph, right?
- 20:20Because if you started off early in the game, you, that can, you can ride with that and
- 20:24you can carry that all the way to the end of the game, right?
- 20:28Instead of waiting till the second half to make the adjustments and switch up your play
- 20:33calling game, move this player over here and move that player over there and, you know,
- 20:37do all those different types of things because there's going to come a time at point where
- 20:41you won't be able to do those type of things in the second half, right?
- 20:46And you know, from the outside looking in, because I'm trying not to, I'm not trying
- 20:51to be a somewhat of a fanboy.
- 20:54The Steelers got to put more, they have to, they have to be able to go down, they have
- 20:58to be able to march down the field, right?
- 21:00They have to be able to dictate the line of scrimmage first.
- 21:04They have to, because if they don't, you know, things, things look, things look great now,
- 21:10right?
- 21:11Because you're not facing a whole lot of competition and whatnot.
- 21:15But I guarantee you, when that second half of the season starts, you know, you, you,
- 21:19you got to make sure that the things that you're, that, that you're having problems with now
- 21:24are not a recurring problem when it comes to that second half of the season.
- 21:27Because I keep saying it, that second half of the season is going to be a gauntlet.
- 21:32It is going to be a gauntlet.
- 21:34It was going to be a storm.
- 21:37Okay.
- 21:38It is going to be a 12 round fight, not a boxing match, but a fight because you're going to
- 21:45have to go up against some of your division rivals and then the chiefs and then the Eagles
- 21:50and whatnot.
- 21:51And that's not even counting if any of those teams may make, you know, any crazy trades
- 21:55and whatnot for somebody, you know, by, by the end of the trade deadline.
- 21:59So you just have to, you know, clean up, you know, the small things because the small things
- 22:04can become big things later down the road, right?
- 22:09And you know, if we can be real here, Justin Fields has been, has been playing, you know,
- 22:13really good supplemental football.
- 22:16I feel like they, I feel like they've sort of like put a cap on, on, on what they can
- 22:23do with Justin Fields.
- 22:24I feel like they're saving a lot of the dynamic play calling and whatnot for us.
- 22:28But you know, if, if I'm like Tomlin or, or if I'm Arthur Smith, I'm, I'm just, you know,
- 22:35redirecting that to Justin Fields because they're playing, you know, you're playing with the
- 22:40hot hand and the hot hand is Justin Fields.
- 22:43That's just, that's just what it is.
- 22:44We don't know the extent of, of this injury with Russell Wilson.
- 22:48It sounds like it sounds like it's a little bit more severe than what people are saying,
- 22:53or they're just airing the side of caution because they know that, you know, hamstring
- 22:58injuries, they're very, they're, they're very hit and miss, right?
- 23:02You can have one, you know, this week and then you'll be good after two weeks.
- 23:06And the next thing you know, you re aggravated it.
- 23:08And it's actually worse than when, than when you originally had it, like so many different
- 23:13things can happen.
- 23:14Okay.
- 23:15And so they just want to air, air the side of caution, which is perfectly fine, you know,
- 23:18because again, this was a, this was a game where the Steelers were going to be primarily
- 23:25running the ball.
- 23:26And that's exactly what they did.
- 23:27Now when we look at the Chargers side though, they really, they, they really wasn't doing
- 23:34a whole lot.
- 23:35JK Dobbins had 50, had 15 attempts from 44 yards.
- 23:39He averaged 2.9 rushing yards per carry.
- 23:43That's not good.
- 23:44And that's mind you that that's coming off of the two monster games that, that they had
- 23:49not too long ago.
- 23:50So, you know, they, they just, it was like two Rams.
- 23:55Okay.
- 23:56If you've ever seen, you know, the, the National Geographic or Animal Planning when they go
- 24:00in a while and they see, you know, two Rams just butting heads and to see who, who's going
- 24:05to, who's going to be the last one standing.
- 24:06That's basically what it was.
- 24:08And you know, the, the Steelers started to chip away and chip away and chip away and
- 24:14chip away until they finally got them.
- 24:17And once they finally got them, they just went for it.
- 24:20And they never look back.
- 24:21And then, you know, unfortunately you have Justin Herbert to re aggravate his ankle
- 24:26and whatnot.
- 24:27All in all, yes, you can celebrate it as a victory, but at the same time we have to air
- 24:31the side of caution because again, we have seen this before.
- 24:34We have seen it where, you know, in 2020 we were undefeated and whatnot.
- 24:39Oh man, everything's going great.
- 24:41Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
- 24:42And the next thing you know, guess what happens?
- 24:44We joke.
- 24:45Joke against the Browns.
- 24:47Let's all relax.
- 24:49R E L A X relax.
- 24:53Let's just calm down for a bit.
- 24:55Let's celebrate the victories, but at the same time, let's also be mindful of who we
- 24:59are going up against.
- 25:01Okay.
- 25:02Cool.
- 25:03Thank you, Steelers fans.
- 25:04Now moving on to Shador.
- 25:07Okay.
- 25:08Shador, Shador, Shador was being a magician.
- 25:12Okay.
- 25:13He was being a true magician.
- 25:14He was being, he was doing his thing.
- 25:16He really was.
- 25:17Okay.
- 25:18Let's, let's just get into these stats.
- 25:20Okay.
- 25:21Two, he was 25 to 41, 341 yards.
- 25:24He had a 61% completion rate.
- 25:27He averaged 8.3 yards per attempt and he had two touchdowns.
- 25:30That's actually pretty good, right?
- 25:32Compared to the other two quarterbacks on Baylor's team, Sawyer Robertson was 32 for
- 25:3950 for 463 yards, a 64 completion percentage, 9.3 yards per attempt, three touchdowns.
- 25:47DeKwon Finn was 23 for 43, 307 yards, a 53.5 completion percentage, 7.1 yards per attempt,
- 25:58three touchdowns, two picks.
- 25:59Now when we look at this, you know, Shador, Shador and that offense, you know, they're,
- 26:06they're doing their thing.
- 26:07They're starting to, they're starting to find a rhythm, which is great.
- 26:10But I feel like they should start to really like rely more on the run because I think
- 26:16if they rely more on the run, I think it would open things up a little bit more while at
- 26:21the same time, you know, wear down a defense because at some point the defensive line is
- 26:26going to get tired.
- 26:27And when they get tired, that's when you attack.
- 26:30That's when you go all out and you make sure that you don't leave no stone unturned.
- 26:38And you know, Colorado, Colorado is going to be Colorado.
- 26:42Okay.
- 26:43They're going to have their highs.
- 26:44They're going to have their lows.
- 26:45They're going to have their in-betweens, but all in all, it's going to be a team that
- 26:49everybody's going to want to watch.
- 26:51That's just who they are.
- 26:52That's just their identity.
- 26:54It's not going to change.
- 26:55Okay.
- 26:56Now if Shador continues to, you know, put the numbers that he's putting and he continues
- 27:00to do dynamic things, then there could be a case where he could possibly, you know, when,
- 27:05when the highs men and whatnot, but you know, I just, I, it's still early, you know, just
- 27:12got to wait and see what happens and whatnot.
- 27:15And, you know, hopefully, hopefully they, they make it to the playoffs and whatnot.
- 27:18So it's a, it's still a wait and see situation for them as well.
- 27:23Now moving forward.
- 27:24Okay.
- 27:25We got to talk.
- 27:26What have you been doing?
- 27:27Want to talk about the jet?
- 27:28We want to talk about Lamar.
- 27:29Let's talk about the jets first.
- 27:30Then, then we get into the, the, the greatness.
- 27:34Okay.
- 27:35The greatness of the Cowboys losing this weekend.
- 27:38Okay.
- 27:39The jets went up against the Patriots on Thursday and it was a, it was a beating.
- 27:50It was a beating.
- 27:52Okay.
- 27:53It looked like, it looked like Jacoby Berset was getting jumped every single time that he
- 27:59was hiking the ball.
- 28:01Big bloody bill from up the hill did not do anything to help this Patriots offense.
- 28:09Oh my God.
- 28:10This is horrible.
- 28:11This is absolutely, Jacoby Berset was getting beat up, beat up by that, by that Jets defensive
- 28:19line and they couldn't do anything about it.
- 28:21They couldn't stop it.
- 28:22They could not stop it.
- 28:24Not one bit.
- 28:25So, you know, if, if I am a Patriots fan and if I am the Patriots, you know, GM, I would
- 28:32probably go after, you know, somebody from LSU, Low Campbell and I probably would, you
- 28:39know, draft that and let that be my top pick at this point because you need to invest into
- 28:45the offensive line.
- 28:47It's time.
- 28:48It's time for you to invest into the offensive line.
- 28:50It's time for you to bring in some real productive offensive line and players and not just get
- 28:56people, you know, from just here, there, everywhere and then try to put it together and make it
- 29:00say, oh, this is a good offensive line and whatnot.
- 29:04No, it's time for you to invest some real money, real draft picks and whatever else
- 29:09you need to into this offensive line because Drake may pretty soon is going to be starting
- 29:15and you know, he's going to need, he's going to need to be protected.
- 29:19If he's not protected, he's not going to last long.
- 29:22He's going to take a beating and you do not want that.
- 29:25Now, on the other hand for Aaron Rodgers, Aaron Rodgers was actually looking pretty,
- 29:30pretty good.
- 29:31He was.
- 29:32I'm not saying he looked like his old self for, oh, this looks like something great.
- 29:37No, I'm not doing that.
- 29:38Let's pump the brakes.
- 29:40Let's relax.
- 29:41Let's calm down.
- 29:43Let's take a breather.
- 29:44Let's drink our water.
- 29:45Okay.
- 29:46Let's just relax.
- 29:47Okay.
- 29:48The Jets run game looks really lethal.
- 29:51Okay.
- 29:52That too, that that too handed, not too handy, but that two headed monster and Braylon Allen
- 29:58and Breeze Hall, that's going to do some damage leading in, I can't even speak, it's definitely
- 30:04the coffee leading into the second half of the season.
- 30:08That is what they're going to need.
- 30:10They're going to need those two to be very, very, very productive because if you, because
- 30:15if they don't, I can't, I can't say that this Jets offense is going to be super productive
- 30:21and whatnot.
- 30:22I just can't.
- 30:24But let's just get into these stats.
- 30:28So Aaron Rodgers was 27 for 35, 281 yards, two touchdowns, eight yards per attempt and
- 30:35a 77.1 completion percentage.
- 30:38Shikowi Bershendron on the other hand was 12 for 18, 98 yards, 5.4 yards per attempt and
- 30:46a 66.7 completion percentage.
- 30:47Now, the only reason why his stats were that low was because I think they pulled him in
- 30:52the later part of the game.
- 30:55And you know, if we're being real here, that Jets defensive line, they were going after
- 30:59them.
- 31:00They were going after them.
- 31:02The Patriots offensive line could not hold their blocks.
- 31:05They could not hold their own and you know, Jacoby Bershendron was the sacrificial lamb
- 31:10in this, unfortunately.
- 31:12And you know, that that's just what it is.
- 31:14But let's get into these junkie, these junkie nuggets.
- 31:17Okay.
- 31:18So the Jets blitz Jacoby Bershendron 40% of his dropbacks, which is the highest under
- 31:23the Robert Sala era.
- 31:26Okay.
- 31:27That says that that speaks a lot for itself.
- 31:30Okay.
- 31:31That means that they knew that listen, this Patriots offensive line is not the best.
- 31:35Not that strong.
- 31:36We can blitz heavy.
- 31:37We can go after them and we can just attack Jacoby Bershendron every single time.
- 31:42Now the Patriots missed more tackles against the Jets than in the first two weeks combined.
- 31:48Right.
- 31:49Not to mention, okay.
- 31:51Christian Gonzalez lined up against Gary Wilson 88% of the time and pressed him 43% of the
- 31:57time.
- 31:58Right.
- 31:59Wilson caught four of eight passes.
- 32:01Christian Gonzalez has lined up against other has lined up against Jamar Chase, DK MacKab,
- 32:07and now Gary Wilson on 70% of their routes and has allowed less than 25 yards.
- 32:14Let me tell you something here, folks.
- 32:15Okay.
- 32:16Let me get real close to the mic.
- 32:17Let me let me tell you guys something.
- 32:18Okay.
- 32:19I was super heavy on Christian Gonzalez.
- 32:21Okay.
- 32:22Your back row, Domus told his friends and fellow colleagues that Christian Gonzalez was going
- 32:27to be a beast.
- 32:28Okay.
- 32:29And that is what you are seeing right now.
- 32:31You are seeing someone.
- 32:33You are seeing almost the second coming of Stefan Gilmore on this team right now.
- 32:37That's what you're seeing.
- 32:38And guess what?
- 32:40The Steelers could have had him, but no, the Steelers did not want them because of his
- 32:44quote unquote character and that he was quiet and whatnot.
- 32:47Do you know why he's quiet?
- 32:49Because he is a monster on that field.
- 32:51A monster.
- 32:53You mean to tell me you lined up against some of the best receivers in the league and you
- 32:57have allowed less than 25 yards on all of these fools?
- 33:02That is something that only Dorel Revis and Stefan Gilmore and their primes can do.
- 33:07Steelers fans, look at this.
- 33:10It's not good.
- 33:11It's a bad stain on us.
- 33:13Now back to the all Naldes and all those different types of things.
- 33:18Now when we look at this, Patriots still have a lot to, you know, to go through.
- 33:23They still have a lot of building that they have to do.
- 33:26They just they are still going through the, you know, the blows and the and just the just
- 33:32the process of a rebuild.
- 33:34It's nasty.
- 33:36It's not good.
- 33:37It's all those things wrapped up in a bowl.
- 33:39But guess what?
- 33:41Every team has to go through this and on the other side is greatness.
- 33:44Maybe possibly.
- 33:45Don't know.
- 33:46Not a Patriots fan.
- 33:47Don't really care about them.
- 33:48They messed up with the Steelers a lot of times when we have to kill the bees.
- 33:52Moving forward though.
- 33:53Omar finally gets a W. Finally.
- 33:56Woo, celebrate confetti.
- 33:58Woo, almost different types of things.
- 34:01No, not really because they almost lost.
- 34:03Okay.
- 34:04The Cowboys was making a late comeback.
- 34:06They was.
- 34:07They was definitely doing their thing.
- 34:09And you know, if I'm a Ravens fan, I'm not happy.
- 34:12I am not happy at all because there was a moment in time where this team where the game
- 34:17looked like it was it was starting to get out of hand.
- 34:19And, you know, they, it was basically going to be a blowout.
- 34:22You're going to, you know, start seeing people leaving everything, but nope.
- 34:26That Prescott with his magical $60 million powers came back and almost won the game.
- 34:34Well almost tied the game up.
- 34:36That's not good.
- 34:38That is not good.
- 34:39Okay.
- 34:40But let's get into these stats though.
- 34:41Okay.
- 34:42So tomorrow 12 for 15 182 yards, one touchdown 12.1 yards per 10 and 80% completion.
- 34:50Okay.
- 34:53Now, when you're probably looking at this, you're probably thinking, oh man, that's a
- 34:56horrible game.
- 34:57It's only because they were running the ball all the time.
- 35:00Okay.
- 35:01Because when you have King Henry of the Henry family, 25 attempts for 151 yards, six yards
- 35:11per carry.
- 35:12And he had five rushes of 10 or more yards legend.
- 35:18I've said, see the land on the other hand, seven targets for four receptions, 67 yards,
- 35:2416.8 receiving yards per reception in deck 28 for 51, 379 yards to touchdown 7.4 yards
- 35:32per 10 and 54.9% completion, completion percentage.
- 35:36Now, when we look at this, right, and let's just be honest, let's just really just address
- 35:41the elephant in the room here.
- 35:43Okay.
- 35:44This cowboy roster probably has to be one of the worst rosters that we have seen in
- 35:48a very long time.
- 35:49And the reason why I say that is because they learned the Ravens literally ran up the middle.
- 35:56They basically did half back dive multiple times over and over and over and over and
- 36:02over and over and over again.
- 36:04And guess what?
- 36:05Cowboys couldn't stop it.
- 36:07Not once.
- 36:08They could not stop it.
- 36:10When we look at this, you know, the way that they handled their free, their free agency
- 36:16and especially their off season, it's backfire.
- 36:19It's backfired and it's hurt them more than help them because when you look at it, what
- 36:25in the world are you going to be able to do with this defensive line?
- 36:28What?
- 36:29Nothing.
- 36:30You can't do anything with it.
- 36:31You have Monzy Smith who started look like a bus with the cowboys.
- 36:35Maybe you'll have a resurgence somewhere else.
- 36:37You have an old involved Joseph.
- 36:40You have, you know, D law who I couldn't tell you what D law has done lately.
- 36:47I haven't seen him.
- 36:48I think he's a ghost.
- 36:49He may not be real.
- 36:50I don't know.
- 36:51And then you have Michael Parsons who's basically being put, you know, here, there, everywhere
- 36:55on the line and he's still not getting through.
- 36:57He's still not making any plays.
- 36:58So it's a, it's a very tough situation.
- 37:02You know, it really is.
- 37:03And, you know, Jerry, Jerry wants the credit.
- 37:08He wants the credit when he's right, when he's ready, when, when he, when he's winning,
- 37:13when his team is being dominant and all those different types of things.
- 37:17But when, but when the lights get a little bit too bright and this team does not show
- 37:21up and this team does not win games, or everybody wants to be quiet.
- 37:26Everybody wants to point fingers at everybody.
- 37:28Everybody wants to say, Oh, it's your father.
- 37:29We didn't do this or it's your father.
- 37:31We didn't do that.
- 37:32The fact of the matter is this team is trash.
- 37:35This team is not, this team can not only compete in their own division, but they cannot go
- 37:40up against a team like the Lions, like the 41, I don't know about the 49ers, 49ers just
- 37:45banged up any, any of those NFC teams, they can't hold their own against them because
- 37:52why?
- 37:53Everybody knows that guess what, guess what you can do to the Cowboys run the ball, run
- 37:57the ball.
- 37:58You could literally run the ball all game long.
- 38:01Okay.
- 38:02It's like that one, one Lionel Richie song all night long.
- 38:06That's, that is who the Cowboys defensive line is because it's horrible.
- 38:10They can't stop the run.
- 38:12They can barely do anything with their patch rush.
- 38:14Their secondary is, and what else?
- 38:18What else?
- 38:19It's a very bad roster all around.
- 38:23And you know, a lot of that has to deal with, you know, two players that were, you know,
- 38:29looking for contracts.
- 38:30Now one of them showed up to training camp because he has to because he's the quarterback
- 38:34and the other decided that he wanted to sit out as long as he possibly could.
- 38:38And now look what, look what it has resulted in.
- 38:42Another L either way you look at it, the players, you know, pointing fingers and sending sub
- 38:48something, I can't even speak subliminals to each other is not going to help them get
- 38:53a win.
- 38:54Okay.
- 38:55They have to lock in and they have to try to win the best way that they possibly can.
- 39:00Use the strengths of the team, even though they don't have a whole lot of strength because
- 39:03they are the Cowboys and just try to win.
- 39:06Now I just made it seem like it was super easy, but really it's not.
- 39:10But honestly, do not care about the Cowboys.
- 39:12I know pretty soon we face the Cowboys and when that happens and when we beat the Cowboys,
- 39:16just know we're going to have an entire episode dedicated to that game.
- 39:21You heard it here first.
- 39:22Now moving forward, Malik Willis gets his revenge.
- 39:27He finally gets his revenge, right?
- 39:31So let's be real here.
- 39:34That entire situation with the Titans and whatnot really wasn't the best.
- 39:40It just wasn't.
- 39:41And if we can be real here, honestly, you know, I know there were a lot of people that
- 39:46were saying, Oh, we've never seen this version of Malik Willis before.
- 39:48Oh, Malik Willis is doing a lot of things.
- 39:51Malik Willis is, you know, is being put into a situation where he's actually valued, where
- 39:58the team actually, you know, wants to embrace him and they're actually going to work with
- 40:02him compared to the Titans where basically they were pushing out their old Vernon quarterback,
- 40:08Brian Tannehill, go home and they were bringing in Mr. Manez in Will Levis, who has a Mayo
- 40:15Cologne, which that's just, oh, oh, oh, oh my God.
- 40:22I think it's going to stand.
- 40:24Imagine you going into a restaurant, right?
- 40:27And you're just like, you know, I smell mayonnaise.
- 40:30Is that what, what is that smell?
- 40:32What is that smell?
- 40:33And you look to the side of you and your buddy has on that new Will Levis Cologne.
- 40:38Was it smell like mayonnaise?
- 40:40That is disgusting.
- 40:42Okay.
- 40:43That is nasty.
- 40:44That is horrible.
- 40:45Put it in the trash, throw it away.
- 40:47Okay.
- 40:48Because that's, that's just a troche.
- 40:50Now back to the game.
- 40:52I just had to say that.
- 40:53I just had to because it's just, oh man, this is nasty.
- 40:56This is nasty.
- 40:57It's a troche.
- 40:58Now Malik Willis was 13 for 19, 202 yards, one touchdown, 10.6 yards per 10 and a 68.4
- 41:06completion percentage.
- 41:07Now when we look at Will Levis, 26 for 34, 260 yards, two touchdowns, two picks, 7.6
- 41:14yards per 10 and a 76.5 completion percentage.
- 41:18Now when we look at this here folks, the Titans are in a situation where they are still somewhat
- 41:24going through a rebuild.
- 41:25They're still trying to, you know, work out all the, all the, the, the tink, and whatnot
- 41:31of their, of their roster and whatnot.
- 41:34But at the same time, you know, Malik, in, in my personal opinion, I feel like they should
- 41:41have really tried to do a real competition between Malik Willis and Will Levis.
- 41:46But at the same time, you sort of had the feeling that they were going to favor Will
- 41:51Levis anyway simply because he was winning games when they did put him in, right?
- 41:56They actually started to, you know, embrace and surround Will Levis moving forward compared
- 42:03to trying to figure out who was going to be the person moving forward.
- 42:06And then it also didn't help that they brought in Mason Rudolph in for, for free agency.
- 42:11So it's like, you know, if you're Malik Willis, you're really behind the gun.
- 42:15So for you to get put into a situation where you're with the Packers, it's someone of a
- 42:19breath of fresh air.
- 42:21It is.
- 42:22And you know, he, he did his thing.
- 42:24He did just enough.
- 42:26He did what he was tasked to do.
- 42:28He didn't go overboard.
- 42:29He didn't try to be Mr. Superman.
- 42:31He didn't try to be the hero.
- 42:32He got the job done.
- 42:34Okay.
- 42:35Now, if you're the Titans, you're, you're trying to figure out exactly what do you want to
- 42:40do moving forward, especially with Will Levis because Will Levis, he's been struggling.
- 42:46He's been struggling.
- 42:47They have, they have surrounded him with weapons.
- 42:50You know, they got Tony Pollard and then they got Calvin Ridley.
- 42:53They still have deep trailing birds.
- 42:55They got Tyler Boyd.
- 42:56Like they have weapons on that team.
- 42:59So I'm just trying to figure out exactly what's going on.
- 43:02But again, this is the growing pains that a team has to go through when you are going
- 43:08through the rebuild that they are going through.
- 43:11Now, on to the final topic.
- 43:14Okay.
- 43:15We're going to do some different.
- 43:16It's called overreactions, right?
- 43:18We're isn't that that was actually going to be the title, but nah, I just decided to scrap
- 43:21it.
- 43:22We're going to do wheeling and dealing.
- 43:24Yes.
- 43:25Wheeling and dealing.
- 43:26All right.
- 43:28Now these are just some of the, some of the overreactions that I have.
- 43:31Okay.
- 43:32So Steelers being undefeated, Katelyn Williams struggling, the 49ers struggling, Eagles ain't
- 43:36flying.
- 43:37Yes.
- 43:38I said ain't and the Ravens having troubles.
- 43:41Yes.
- 43:42So let's start with the Steelers.
- 43:43That's right.
- 43:44The sixth time.
- 43:45No, I'm not going to do it.
- 43:46I was going to do it.
- 43:48Not going to do it.
- 43:50You know, the future, you know, AFC, you know, champions of the 2024 season, you know, Pittsburgh
- 43:55Steelers, you know, not going to do it.
- 43:58Not going to do it.
- 43:59Not going to do it.
- 44:01The Steelers being undefeated, everybody just needs to relax.
- 44:04Okay.
- 44:05Relax.
- 44:06I want you to take a deep breath in me and then who saw and then who saw relax.
- 44:15Okay.
- 44:16We, we went up against the Falcons who had Kirk cousins who came off of a major injury.
- 44:21We had a rookie.
- 44:22We went up against a rookie quarterback in Bowen X and a Broncos team that, you know,
- 44:28it's the Broncos and then you went up against the Chargers.
- 44:32The Chargers have probably been so far right now.
- 44:35The most competition that they've probably had to go up against, you know, since the
- 44:40season has started.
- 44:41Now as the season progresses, you know, you, you, you go up against certain teams like
- 44:46the Colts.
- 44:47That's a game that I'm really looking forward to.
- 44:49Okay.
- 44:50That's a game I'm really looking forward to.
- 44:53But to say that, you know, all this is great.
- 44:55They were undefeated and whatnot.
- 44:57So, okay, you don't, just because you're undefeated does not mean, oh, that you are the best
- 45:04team.
- 45:05Now I will say this, the defense, the defense is doing their part.
- 45:08They're holding their own.
- 45:09I'm not really worried about the defense.
- 45:11It is as usual, it's the offense.
- 45:14The offense has to pick things up more.
- 45:16Okay.
- 45:17They have to do more.
- 45:18They have to.
- 45:19Otherwise they're going to be put in a situation where it can be a late season situation where
- 45:25you need to win the game.
- 45:26And the offense isn't clicking.
- 45:29And you know, the defense is doing their thing.
- 45:32The defense could be putting them in great, you know, great field position and everything.
- 45:37And you know, the offense just can't get it done.
- 45:40That's not good enough.
- 45:42That's just not good enough.
- 45:43Now we will look at Caleb Williams and his struggles and whatnot.
- 45:46He's a rookie.
- 45:47He's a rookie.
- 45:48He's a rookie.
- 45:49He's going through the growing pains and whatnot of the NFL.
- 45:53And you know, if we can be real here, I don't think that that coaching staff is going to
- 45:57be there for too long.
- 45:58I think they're going to scrap the, the, uh, I can't speak.
- 46:04I think they're going to scrap the coaching, you know, just the entire coaching as a whole.
- 46:10I'm talking about from the head coach, the OCM whatnot.
- 46:12And I think they're just going to go in a different direction.
- 46:14And I think they're really going to get an offensive minded head coach for Caleb Williams.
- 46:19And just because I think they're, they're really trying to rewrite their rungs and how
- 46:24they handle the situation with Justin Fields.
- 46:27And so I think they're now trying to do things a little bit different with Caleb Williams.
- 46:30Now still, I mean, you know, Caleb, Caleb, Caleb is going to go through this.
- 46:37He's going to struggle.
- 46:39That is, that is, you know, that is a rookie.
- 46:41Now I understand there's people are saying, well, the bearish of the draft, Jane Daniels,
- 46:45who was to say that, you know, he would get the same, the same outcome as he as, as Jane
- 46:50Daniels has been getting.
- 46:53Who was to say that nobody came.
- 46:56So you know, just again, relax, relax, calm down, cool down, man.
- 47:02Get some water, get some water.
- 47:05Okay.
- 47:06Now the 49ers struggles that is due in part to the Madden curse.
- 47:09Now, if you don't know what the Madden curse is, anytime a Madden player, anytime a player
- 47:14is on the Madden cover, mysterious things happen in that season.
- 47:20It's just weird, right?
- 47:21It's literally, you can pull it up and you can look at it.
- 47:24It's a real thing.
- 47:26Christian McCaffrey is in Germany right now looking, looking to get, you know, support
- 47:31for his Achilles grave diggers out with a torn peck.
- 47:34You know, the office isn't looking, isn't really looking that good, except for, you
- 47:39know, Joann Jennings, Brandy Ewing is who going?
- 47:45It goes, I don't know.
- 47:47Never seen them before.
- 47:48Never heard of them before.
- 47:50And you know, it's just, it's a tough situation.
- 47:53It is a very tough situation for the 49ers right now.
- 47:57I don't think they expected to go through the growing pains that they're going through
- 48:01right now.
- 48:02And, you know, a lot of their star players are, are banged up and they're going to be
- 48:06out for a while.
- 48:07So, you know, I would not be surprised if they will be in the market for defense of
- 48:13tackle to replace grave digger because now you don't have Eric.
- 48:18Well, wait a minute.
- 48:19Do they have Eric?
- 48:20No, you don't have Eric Armstead and you don't have the Forrest Buckner and now you
- 48:23don't have grave digger.
- 48:24Now granted, they have, you know, they do have some, some other, some other good players,
- 48:29which is still going to need somebody else to be paired with them, right?
- 48:34You know, 49ers, you're going to have to do something here playing.
- 48:38You're going to have to do something here play.
- 48:40You're going to have to do something.
- 48:42Now the Eagles ain't flying.
- 48:44Yes, it is true.
- 48:45The Eagles aren't flying.
- 48:47The Eagles are gliding or just walking, whatever you want to call it.
- 48:52The Eagles are, you know, they're, they're going through their bumps and bruises because
- 48:57again, they're, it's a new offense as being installed and a lot of turnover has happened.
- 49:01You know, Jason Kelsey has retired and whatnot, so it's still a lot of, you know, trying to
- 49:06get used to all those different types of things, right?
- 49:09Not to mention, you know, the, the whole controversy over the off season where, you know, Nick
- 49:14Siriani and Jaylen Hurts were beefing and whatnot and, you know, all those different
- 49:18types of things.
- 49:19And, you know, if we're being real here, Nick Siriani's seat is hot, hot.
- 49:25If they do not have a great season this year, oh, he's gone.
- 49:30He is gone.
- 49:31Gone.
- 49:32G-O-N-E.
- 49:33Gone.
- 49:34Now we'll say this, the bright light in all of this is they hit when they went after and
- 49:41they got say, Qanbarclay, unlike some GMs, I didn't want to do that and didn't want to
- 49:45pay them because they didn't want to value them.
- 49:47But that's another story for another day.
- 49:50Now, you know, again, this all takes time.
- 49:53The season is still fairly, you know, early and whatnot.
- 49:56So these things happen, you know, some teams go through the bumps and bruises early.
- 50:00So that, you know, once the rest of the season, you know, goes through and whatnot, they are
- 50:05prepared, they are ready, and, you know, they are dominant.
- 50:08So who knows?
- 50:10Same thing with the Ravens, right?
- 50:12The Ravens finally got a W, which is great.
- 50:15But at the same time, you know, the expectations are a little bit higher for them on both sides
- 50:20of the ball because this roster is ready to win a Super Bowl, right?
- 50:25They don't, they don't, you don't make the type of moves that the Ravens have made if
- 50:28you're not going to compete for a Super Bowl.
- 50:31I'm just sorry, you're just not going to do that.
- 50:34But you know, all these different types of things, it's a wait and see, just got to give
- 50:38you some time, okay?
- 50:40The season, as I, as I continue to say for myself and to other people, the season is
- 50:45still fairly early.
- 50:46You got to play the waiting game, okay?
- 50:49Come back to me around Thanksgiving, okay?
