Speaker 1: need a lot more on my play. Scot Touchdown Tour.

0:51
Speaker 1: How sweet it is, baby Kirks he stop ground at
0:56
Speaker 1: sluts cut for the touchdown six and old Philadelphia Eagles.
1:07
Speaker 1: It's another one of those Mondays to overreact after another
1:11
Speaker 1: one of those Sundays in which just when you thought
1:14
Speaker 1: you had a grass on who's good and who isn't
1:18
Speaker 1: good in the National Football League, you go, yeah, I
1:22
Speaker 1: don't know anymore. I do know this, however, I love
1:24
Speaker 1: Mondays and I love working with Steve boy. It's great
1:26
Speaker 1: to see a certain can't we overreact that we write
1:28
Speaker 1: about mediocrity right now? Three and three is about where
1:31
Speaker 1: our reactions are right. A lot of teams are consistently,
1:34
Speaker 1: in consistent. The Eagles are the last remaining undefeated. Still
1:38
Speaker 1: we know that they're six and oh they get the
1:41
Speaker 1: Steelers next, and the Texans, the Commanders. The Colts. Looked
1:44
Speaker 1: the schedule and we've said this for a while, sets
1:47
Speaker 1: up well for them. India is now over five hundred.
1:50
Speaker 1: But the Colts and then the two NFC East teams,
1:53
Speaker 1: the Cowboys and the Giants. Those three are the only
1:56
Speaker 1: three games on the Eagle schedule right now against teams
2:00
Speaker 1: that have currently winning records. There's a clear your path
2:05
Speaker 1: to Glendale. Speaking of Glendale, Oh, by the way, the
2:09
Speaker 1: team that resides there now the Arizona Cardinals, and that
2:13
Speaker 1: is where Hi, Ian, Hi, Tom Super Bowl fifty seven
2:16
Speaker 1: will be played. That team just made a trade. We
2:20
Speaker 1: kind of knew Robby Anderson was going somewhere after yesterday.
2:23
Speaker 1: Ian sources say Robbie Anderson, the now former Carolina Panthers receiver,
2:28
Speaker 1: is headed to the Arizona Cardinals. A deal just struck
2:31
Speaker 1: in the last couple of minutes. And you mentioned and
2:33
Speaker 1: Robbie Anderson has been shopped by the Panthers. Really over
2:36
Speaker 1: the course of the last couple of weeks, it seems
2:38
Speaker 1: like he was on the same page with that as well,
2:40
Speaker 1: So all parties were kind of moving forward knowing that
2:42
Speaker 1: this was not going to be a long term thing.
2:44
Speaker 1: And after the sideline dispute yesterday that saw Steve Wilkes
2:47
Speaker 1: and him head coach send Robbie Anderson to the locker room,
2:51
Speaker 1: today was the day it ended up happening the Arizona Cardinals,
2:54
Speaker 1: who also have an injury now potential injury to Hollywood
2:58
Speaker 1: Brown and UH also get DeAndre Hopkins back this week.
3:01
Speaker 1: By the way, tom Uh, they have now acquired another ebra,
3:05
Speaker 1: another weapon for quarterback Kyler Murray, and the Cardinals are
3:10
Speaker 1: sitting there right now ian at two and four their
3:13
Speaker 1: own three at home and searching for answers, particularly now
3:16
Speaker 1: that Hollywood Brown is banged up with a foot injury.
3:19
Speaker 1: Rely for the Panthers, they were looking to move on
3:21
Speaker 1: from Robbie Anderson as soon as they fired coach Matt
3:24
Speaker 1: Rule a week ago. Anderson was one of the guys
3:27
Speaker 1: that Rule really wanted on the team. They go back
3:29
Speaker 1: to their days at Temple together once Rule was out.
3:33
Speaker 1: As part of the shift that we've seen here in
3:35
Speaker 1: terms of interim coach, Steve Wilkes also missing some of
3:38
Speaker 1: the assistants who are very close to Matt Rule. Anderson
3:40
Speaker 1: was another one they wanted to move on from, even
3:42
Speaker 1: before what happened on the sideline yesterday. Also worth noting here,
3:46
Speaker 1: the Cardinals only take on about six ninety thousand dollars
3:49
Speaker 1: in base salary. That's the pro raded portion of Anderson's
3:52
Speaker 1: minimum base salary for the rest of the season, because
3:54
Speaker 1: the Panthers converted about eleven point seven million dollars into
3:58
Speaker 1: a signing bonus earlier this year. So there's obviously dead
4:01
Speaker 1: cap that the Panthers have to deal with here, But
4:03
Speaker 1: it's a player that they were going to move on
4:05
Speaker 1: from Arizona. They hope adding that Dosa spin at the
4:08
Speaker 1: same time that they hope DeAndre Hopkins is going to
4:10
Speaker 1: be back in rage roll sooner than later is something
4:13
Speaker 1: big for them. Remember Thursday night game this week, so
4:15
Speaker 1: not a lot of time to get Hopkins or Anderson
4:18
Speaker 1: ready to play in this one. That Thursday night game
4:20
Speaker 1: the Cardinals and the Saints. Questions about the Saints injuries
4:23
Speaker 1: will get to them a little bit later in the show.
4:25
Speaker 1: It is a long list I want to keep going
4:26
Speaker 1: here with the Panthers though, I because you guys all
4:29
Speaker 1: spoke and have the story on Saturday, but spoke of
4:31
Speaker 1: it yesterday on game day morning. The Christian McCaffrey situation.
4:35
Speaker 1: Panthers would want a lot for him. He played well yesterday.
4:40
Speaker 1: The trade deadlines fifteen days away, right, what do we here? Well,
4:45
Speaker 1: here's my understanding of the situation. The Carolina Panthers are
4:48
Speaker 1: fielding calls uh surrounding Christian McCaffrey, centered around Christian McCaffrey.
4:52
Speaker 1: Teams want him, no surprises. The face of the franchise
4:55
Speaker 1: in a very very good running back who has a
4:58
Speaker 1: deal this year that has already been uh, that has
5:01
Speaker 1: already been restructured. So it's just one million dollars running
5:04
Speaker 1: back in his prime. To it seems interesting. Carolina Panthers
5:06
Speaker 1: are not gonna have a fire sale. I'm going to
5:08
Speaker 1: give away their good players. And if they're going to
5:11
Speaker 1: trade McCaffrey, which I would say is possible, it's gonna
5:14
Speaker 1: be for a high price. So where does that land? Well,
5:17
Speaker 1: I would say, uh, premium players are generally traded for
5:20
Speaker 1: first round picks. Could the Carolina Panthers get that? Possibly? Conceivably,
5:24
Speaker 1: I would expect them to take their time on this one, though,
5:27
Speaker 1: Maybe see what the market brings come closer to the
5:30
Speaker 1: trade deadline. All right, Christian McCaffrey still very much out there.
5:35
Speaker 1: Tom cam Acres could be out there as well. Sean
5:39
Speaker 1: McVeigh made the surprising revelation on Friday, saying, um, he's
5:43
Speaker 1: down this week. We're not gonna plan, We're gonna keep
5:45
Speaker 1: it internal. We are working through some things. What does
5:48
Speaker 1: that mean, Andrew? There have been signs here that things
5:51
Speaker 1: are not headed in a good direction for the Rams
5:52
Speaker 1: and cam Akers, going all the way back to Week one,
5:55
Speaker 1: where there were plenty of people, including people might have
5:57
Speaker 1: him in fantasy football, who were surprised at his minimal workload.
6:01
Speaker 1: What I was told at that time was that cam
6:04
Speaker 1: Akers for his racklist comeback last year, of course from
6:06
Speaker 1: the torn achilles, returning in time for the postseason stretch.
6:10
Speaker 1: When he came into camp this year, he still looked
6:12
Speaker 1: like a guy who hadn't played a lot of football
6:14
Speaker 1: in the past couple of years. He obviously wasn't, in
6:17
Speaker 1: the Rams opinion, ready to take on a bigger roll
6:19
Speaker 1: out of the gates. He rolled never really increased to
6:22
Speaker 1: the point that Acres wanted to Ian reported that there
6:24
Speaker 1: were football and philosophical differences between the sides here. I
6:28
Speaker 1: can tell you this, and I've gotten calls about it
6:30
Speaker 1: this morning in terms of what exactly is going on
6:32
Speaker 1: with cam Akers because there's a lot of other teams
6:34
Speaker 1: that are looking at this and saying, a twenty three
6:36
Speaker 1: year old who's been productive in the league, who has
6:39
Speaker 1: cost controlled for another year beyond this one on his
6:43
Speaker 1: rookie contract, those guys generally don't get traded. It does sound, though,
6:47
Speaker 1: as if this is headed toward a divorce between the
6:49
Speaker 1: Rams and cam Acres. Where does he turn up? All
6:52
Speaker 1: that made depending part on what the Rams plans might
6:55
Speaker 1: be in terms of other guys that they're trying to
6:57
Speaker 1: bring in at the same time that they're looking to
7:00
Speaker 1: move on for making with all kinds of injuries on
7:02
Speaker 1: the offensive line. Don't know if that's a trade that
7:04
Speaker 1: can be worked out here. The I don't have many
7:05
Speaker 1: high picks. He was one of them, a second round
7:09
Speaker 1: pick just a few years ago. Anytime. Ian. The quarterback
7:12
Speaker 1: situation that Bears monitoring in Washington popped up on Saturday,
7:18
Speaker 1: and that is Carson Wentz with a finger injury. They
7:22
Speaker 1: got out of Thursday with a victory in Chicago. What's
7:25
Speaker 1: his status. He has a fractured ring finger, which he
7:28
Speaker 1: played through during the game. You could see he was
7:30
Speaker 1: messing with that. He was putting in that warming thing
7:32
Speaker 1: that he had attached on the back of his back.
7:35
Speaker 1: I guess trying to keep it lose, trying to keep
7:37
Speaker 1: playing with it. And then he had scanned and additional
7:39
Speaker 1: tests after the game revealed a fractured finger. He is
7:43
Speaker 1: right now actually in Los Angeles, meeting with a hand
7:45
Speaker 1: specialist to see what's next surgery. Is this something he
7:49
Speaker 1: can play through? It seems to me guys like this
7:52
Speaker 1: would be very, very difficult to play through. I guess
7:55
Speaker 1: anything as possible, but that's what it looks like, which
7:57
Speaker 1: could mean we'd see a lot of Taylor Heineke coming
8:00
Speaker 1: in for the Washington Commanders, which we'll see if that's
8:03
Speaker 1: good or bad. He's played well when he's had the
8:04
Speaker 1: oppertu tunity, and that might come. And there's Sam Howell,
8:08
Speaker 1: who they drafted this year, the rookie from North Carolina
8:10
Speaker 1: who looked pretty good when he was given a chance
8:12
Speaker 1: in the preseason. He is waiting there in the wings
8:14
Speaker 1: as well. All Right, let's do the Jack Easterby story
8:17
Speaker 1: in Houston and for people outside of Houston, for people
8:20
Speaker 1: that only maybe fall of fantasy football of your favorite team,
8:22
Speaker 1: you probably have no idea who this guy is. But
8:25
Speaker 1: Tom He's very influential, has been the last couple of
8:28
Speaker 1: years in the Houston front office. The man behind the man,
8:30
Speaker 1: if you will, Jack Easterby is no longer with the Texans.
8:34
Speaker 1: Tell me the story. Andrew by understanding is that this
8:36
Speaker 1: was really a mutual party of the ways between the
8:39
Speaker 1: Texans and Jack Easterby, who recently approached owner kel McNair
8:43
Speaker 1: about buying out his long term contract at the Houston
8:46
Speaker 1: Texans had signed him to and moving on to doing
8:50
Speaker 1: something else. Really for months here, going all the way
8:52
Speaker 1: back to February, when the Texans made the very surprising
8:56
Speaker 1: move to promote Lovely Smith to the head coaching role
9:00
Speaker 1: against what Easterby wanted to do for the organization. It
9:03
Speaker 1: probably was not going to end up a good place.
9:05
Speaker 1: There was a lot that Easterby was absolutely involved in
9:08
Speaker 1: terms of the cultural overhaul. Of course, this was at
9:11
Speaker 1: the same time that they moved on from DeAndre Hopkins.
9:13
Speaker 1: They ultimately moved on from de Shaun Watson as well.
9:16
Speaker 1: He was involved in facilities, every aspect of the football operation.
9:19
Speaker 1: Also of course, involved in the hiring of his friend,
9:22
Speaker 1: general manager Nick Casserio, who remains in Houston. Here. We'll
9:26
Speaker 1: see where this goes from here. For Casserio, love you Smith,
9:29
Speaker 1: that organization. He is a lightning rod of controversy. If
9:33
Speaker 1: you listen to Houston Sports Talk Radio again, Houston Sports
9:37
Speaker 1: Talk Radio very much a local story out radio. I
9:41
Speaker 1: do not, but you do know what I'm talking about
9:45
Speaker 1: here Texans coming off of by Astro's big playoff win
9:48
Speaker 1: over the weekend. Guarantee you they're burning up the phones
9:51
Speaker 1: today and Jack Easterby, thank you and thank you Tom.
9:55
Speaker 1: We continue on at now and I don't. I don't
9:59
Speaker 1: listen to Houston Sports Talk Radio. I would love to
10:02
Speaker 1: hear Buffalo Sports Talk radio today though after a bond
10:04
Speaker 1: mill our help close the Chiefs out yesterday. What a
10:08
Speaker 1: game we had an arrowhead. We tell that story next. No, alright,
10:17
Speaker 1: which the game you're waiting for? You watched eight games
10:19
Speaker 1: early and then this one is the one. Everyone circled
10:22
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes. Fifth time in twenty four months
10:26
Speaker 1: they eat They actually were sportless after one, and then
10:29
Speaker 1: Gabe Davis happened, just like the playoffs a year ago.
10:31
Speaker 1: That was a a drive that started on the fool
10:35
Speaker 1: and just the past is beautiful. Gabe Davis continues making
10:37
Speaker 1: big plays for this team. But then another kickoffer could here?
10:40
Speaker 1: Betwe these two teams bills with a kickoff. They squib
10:42
Speaker 1: it and they give Mahomes a shot for one play
10:44
Speaker 1: to setup Harrison, Butker sixty two yards Bucker's back yep
10:49
Speaker 1: hadn't played since week one. He makes a difference. He's
10:51
Speaker 1: a weapon. That's a Chiefs record, a Bucker record. Everyone
10:55
Speaker 1: is kind of sort of going, yeah, we're tied of ten.
10:57
Speaker 1: Let's go to the third quarter. Midway through the third quarter,
11:00
Speaker 1: Josh Allen Stefan Giggs not fair. I mean, looky, look
11:04
Speaker 1: at look at the ball placing on this. The coverage
11:06
Speaker 1: was there, but you have two of the best players
11:07
Speaker 1: in the NFL connect one of ten catches on the
11:10
Speaker 1: day for Stefon Digs. Patrick Mahomes would answer dancing, dancing
11:14
Speaker 1: and finding McCole Hardman. Were tied at seventeen. Now the
11:19
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, and now you're Josh Allen put it in
11:23
Speaker 1: the louver drive. Here is Josh Allen leaping Justin Reid.
11:29
Speaker 1: I mean this type of play when you've got a
11:31
Speaker 1: tight end basically a tight end size quarterback who can
11:34
Speaker 1: move like this and make plays like that. It shows
11:36
Speaker 1: his competitiveness. And and watch him direct off the ox
11:41
Speaker 1: to the front pilock and then he has a hand panic.
11:45
Speaker 1: I mean, he has to drill this and the fact
11:48
Speaker 1: he even had the guts to make that throw was insane.
11:51
Speaker 1: But it is not over because Patrick Mahomes had a
11:53
Speaker 1: minute left until Terren Johnson ended it. The Bills opened
11:58
Speaker 1: this game with an interception of Mahomes. They end this
12:02
Speaker 1: game with an interception of Mahomes twenty to twenty. The
12:05
Speaker 1: final arrow. I want to win against the best, UM,
12:09
Speaker 1: and he's he's put himself up there, so definitely you
12:13
Speaker 1: want to win against the best and play against the
12:14
Speaker 1: best football teams. UM, But when you lose, at least
12:17
Speaker 1: you're losing to the best. So so you have two
12:20
Speaker 1: great quarterbacks, two great teams, you have two great coaches
12:23
Speaker 1: going at it. UM, that's what you want. And UM
12:26
Speaker 1: we lost this time, UM, but hopefully we can battle
12:29
Speaker 1: back and have another chance when we get to the playoffs. Well,
12:31
Speaker 1: and you and I talked this week, and part of
12:33
Speaker 1: the reason you came to Buffalo is bring that championship mindset.
12:36
Speaker 1: What does this game do for where you guys want
12:38
Speaker 1: to be? Man, we're still going. Man, it's a great
12:40
Speaker 1: team win. We knew it was gonna be a tough one.
12:42
Speaker 1: We knew he was gonna have to go as sixty minutes,
12:43
Speaker 1: if not seventy minutes. We just kept fighting. And the
12:46
Speaker 1: motto is don't blink. We didn't blink when it was down.
12:49
Speaker 1: We blink when he's up. Great team wining for the Bills.
12:51
Speaker 1: I'm sitting on the sidelines. Third down, It's like, come on, Von,
12:53
Speaker 1: come on Von, And you know, sure enough he goes
12:56
Speaker 1: out there and makes makes a bunch of plays and um,
13:00
Speaker 1: and I'm proud of our team. And we battled tonight.
13:01
Speaker 1: Obviously didn't start off how we wanted to. Guys just
13:04
Speaker 1: kept their head down, didn't didn't panic, didn't blink, is
13:07
Speaker 1: is what we like to say in our locker room.
13:09
Speaker 1: Trusted the game plan, Um, trusted situational football, you know,
13:13
Speaker 1: and got w night. That's that's that was our only
13:16
Speaker 1: goal to come in here. And um, if it's if
13:18
Speaker 1: it's by one, it's by d um, it's another win.
13:22
Speaker 1: And um that's what we're trying to do each and
13:24
Speaker 1: every week. I do think it's big that it wasn't
13:27
Speaker 1: by a hundred. The Bills have now won two games
13:29
Speaker 1: this year, one score game, something they could not do
13:31
Speaker 1: last year. James Palmer, you saw there talking on the
13:34
Speaker 1: field after the game. Steve watch back with me as well,
13:37
Speaker 1: talking about von Miller here, James and the fact that
13:41
Speaker 1: he is the closer. That's why they got him. He
13:44
Speaker 1: didn't pick off Patrick Mahomes, but his rush helped pick
13:49
Speaker 1: off Patrick Mahomes. And in that game, Andrew and and
13:53
Speaker 1: you said it. So let's start there. It wasn't just
13:55
Speaker 1: that it was the final three drives that the Kansas
13:58
Speaker 1: City Chiefs had that von Miller made a massive play.
14:01
Speaker 1: Let's go to the first one where Patrick Mahomes scrambles
14:03
Speaker 1: all over the place, really runs and who circles Vaughan
14:05
Speaker 1: almost had in the first time around, comes back the
14:08
Speaker 1: second time around, hurdles of teammate and tackles him and
14:11
Speaker 1: the Chiefs have to settle for a field goal. The
14:13
Speaker 1: next drive for the Chiefs is a three and out
14:15
Speaker 1: where third and six, von Miller goes out in sacks
14:18
Speaker 1: packtrick Mahomes and that leads to the Bills having that
14:21
Speaker 1: massive game winning drive we just saw. And then you
14:23
Speaker 1: mentioned it's his pass rush on a three man pass
14:26
Speaker 1: rush that leads to that interception. And that was one
14:29
Speaker 1: of the biggest reasons why they wanted to get von
14:31
Speaker 1: Miller because he could get after Patrick Mahomes, something that
14:33
Speaker 1: they couldn't do in that divisional round Thriller that they
14:36
Speaker 1: lost last year. And also because of what he does
14:39
Speaker 1: that spreads to the rest of this group. And I
14:41
Speaker 1: had a chance to talk to members of the coaching
14:43
Speaker 1: staff before the game who said, our offensive tackles Steve
14:47
Speaker 1: are better this year because of the conversations that they've
14:50
Speaker 1: had with von Miller. Gregor Russo is a better player
14:52
Speaker 1: because of what von Miller has come in and done,
14:54
Speaker 1: so he spread it throughout the group. His knowledge and
14:57
Speaker 1: that veteran presence and that veteran presence to still make
15:00
Speaker 1: big plays at big moments. That's the other aspect we
15:03
Speaker 1: saw last night. Yeah, absolutely, JP. I me with Devon
15:05
Speaker 1: Miller's pastor's camp in Vegas this year and he brought
15:07
Speaker 1: a j Epanessa and Boogie Basham and Greg Russo and
15:11
Speaker 1: just the way they hung around him. They hadn't been
15:13
Speaker 1: around a guy like him, So having the veteran presence
15:15
Speaker 1: around those young guys has translated. And you talk about
15:18
Speaker 1: the impact, or Josh Allen talked about the impact here
15:22
Speaker 1: is impact because James, you know that living in Denver,
15:24
Speaker 1: people there thought he might have been done. And his
15:27
Speaker 1: last sixteen games are great. Research department came up with this.
15:33
Speaker 1: His teams are fourteen and two. He has fifteen sacks
15:37
Speaker 1: in those games. That's not including the pressures, that's not
15:40
Speaker 1: including some of the other things. That is impact. I mean,
15:43
Speaker 1: that's why Buffalo did what they did to go out
15:45
Speaker 1: and get him, because they know they needed a closure
15:47
Speaker 1: like him. But also what he can do to have
15:50
Speaker 1: his blood run through the veins of that franchise and
15:52
Speaker 1: the impact that he's having again, JB. Isn't amazing that
15:57
Speaker 1: in Denver that they actually were wondering what he had
16:00
Speaker 1: left And he's like, how you like me? Now? Yeah,
16:04
Speaker 1: it's true, Steve, We're real quick. I'll say this. You know,
16:06
Speaker 1: talking a couple of guys on that coaching staff before
16:08
Speaker 1: the game, they said, we got von Miller at the
16:10
Speaker 1: perfect time, that veteran experience, that veteran presence. He's an
16:14
Speaker 1: open book but still playing at a really high level.
16:16
Speaker 1: They think right now was the premier time to bring
16:19
Speaker 1: in Von Moon and the entire team, the entire defense
16:22
Speaker 1: has faith in him and is learning from him. I
16:24
Speaker 1: almost feel, even though he's what nine years younger, that
16:29
Speaker 1: Josh Allen has that same aura an influence on the offense.
16:34
Speaker 1: Not just with his play. His place speaks for itself,
16:37
Speaker 1: but the way Stefon Diggs and everyone speak of their
16:41
Speaker 1: quarterback and how they just James have the utmost faith
16:43
Speaker 1: in the guy. They do. And the other example of that,
16:47
Speaker 1: Andrew is the play calling of Ken Dorsey. That shows
16:50
Speaker 1: the faith that they have in Josh Allen, the way
16:52
Speaker 1: they are aggressive as opposed to a lot of offenses
16:55
Speaker 1: when Josh Allen is taking the snap in his own
16:57
Speaker 1: end zone. You saw it last week where they go
16:59
Speaker 1: roughly ninety nine yards for a touchdown. They did it
17:01
Speaker 1: before the half where they go ninety six yards against
17:03
Speaker 1: this Chief's defense a massive game where they're having him
17:07
Speaker 1: throw out of his own end zone. That play calling
17:09
Speaker 1: shows a lot of the faith that they have and
17:11
Speaker 1: Josh Allen and look what he did. Throw in the
17:12
Speaker 1: football down the field and passes over fifteen yards in
17:15
Speaker 1: the area, goes nine of ten for two four yards
17:18
Speaker 1: in a perfect passer rating. They love being aggressive with him,
17:22
Speaker 1: and you showed the highlights there. The ball really never
17:24
Speaker 1: left his hands in that game winning drive. And that's
17:27
Speaker 1: the faith that they have. In seventeen, everybody in the
17:30
Speaker 1: locker room said the same thing to me. We just
17:32
Speaker 1: feel like we can win at any point in any
17:34
Speaker 1: game from any spot on the field because of Josh
17:37
Speaker 1: Allen and the way he directs traffic there for Dawson
17:39
Speaker 1: Knox in that game winning touchdown right that way, that way, damn.
17:43
Speaker 1: And then it's a hand cannon. I mean, it's a
17:45
Speaker 1: ball that most quarterbacks simply cannot throw and cannot put
17:50
Speaker 1: in a window that's small, and it's a game winning touchdown.
17:54
Speaker 1: Chiefs Bills the first of a I'm gonna say scheduled too,
17:58
Speaker 1: because we just assume they're gonna face each other in January. Now,
18:02
Speaker 1: that game very well could be an Orchard Park, thank you,
18:04
Speaker 1: I get that. Want to coming up next. You probably
18:07
Speaker 1: haven't noticed, Mabe. I can guarantee you have. But Arthur
18:10
Speaker 1: Smith is coaching some football in Atlanta. Falkins did it again.
18:16
Speaker 1: That's next. The duties are sweet, Steve White. I used
18:22
Speaker 1: to do a show at fen where we would do
18:24
Speaker 1: like ten to play highlights in a segment. We're gonna
18:26
Speaker 1: do seven here and okay, Kyle Shanahan back in Atlanta
18:30
Speaker 1: team in an early hole when Jeff Wilson fumbled and
18:33
Speaker 1: then a j Tarle got lucky here he put a
18:35
Speaker 1: humbled us through the end zone. He got very lucky.
18:37
Speaker 1: They had a teammate there to scoop it up. Would
18:39
Speaker 1: be Jalen Hawkins fell on it. Falcons up fourteen to nothing.
18:42
Speaker 1: And then the Falcons with the run game what Kyle
18:44
Speaker 1: Shanahan loves to do, Arthur Smith is doing, pound the
18:48
Speaker 1: football and then used to play action to hit Kyle
18:51
Speaker 1: hits there. Falcons win twenty fourteen. Marcus Barriott is barely
18:56
Speaker 1: throwing it, but hey against the bank up defense, they
18:58
Speaker 1: are three and three. We got a great group of
19:01
Speaker 1: guys that truly believe in what the culture is being
19:04
Speaker 1: built here. And that's and that's fun to be a
19:06
Speaker 1: part of um. You know, when I was a free agent,
19:08
Speaker 1: I was looking at places to play a new art
19:10
Speaker 1: here was gonna build that type of locker room. And
19:13
Speaker 1: when you got a bunch of good guys that enjoy
19:15
Speaker 1: coming to work, that want to put in their best
19:18
Speaker 1: effort for each other and not just one of themselves, Um,
19:21
Speaker 1: you're gonna find ways to win games and be successful.
19:24
Speaker 1: Self inflicted wounds was the big that was the story
19:26
Speaker 1: of the day. Um, And you know it was a correctable,
19:29
Speaker 1: but just you can't have them. You can't have as
19:32
Speaker 1: many as we had out there. And when you do
19:33
Speaker 1: have him, you gotta overcome it. And you know we
19:35
Speaker 1: didn't do that today. So it starts with me though,
19:37
Speaker 1: and we just gotta be better. Jimmy, I love the jacket?
19:40
Speaker 1: Can I get it in a small? Steve? Every Arizona
19:43
Speaker 1: Cardinals movie is the same. It's the same. They have
19:46
Speaker 1: nothing offensively early, they try to get it going late
19:49
Speaker 1: here in the third quarter, down twelve, the three Kyler,
19:52
Speaker 1: the tiny dancers, you know, just like, oh no, that's
19:56
Speaker 1: not good. Tarik Woolen, Tarike Woolen the corner, what a
20:00
Speaker 1: season he is having, Kyler's first lost fumble of the year.
20:03
Speaker 1: And then Kenneth walk he did it, He did it.
20:07
Speaker 1: The root put it away. Gino and the US are
20:10
Speaker 1: three and three. It felt like one of those heavyweight fights.
20:13
Speaker 1: Man division opponent, they know us, we know them, was
20:17
Speaker 1: going back and forth. Their defense did a great job,
20:19
Speaker 1: but I feel like when we needed it the most
20:21
Speaker 1: are gout stepped up. We're able to get like a
20:23
Speaker 1: seventy seventy five yard drive against a really tough defense,
20:26
Speaker 1: score points give us the lead. And uh, you know,
20:28
Speaker 1: that's what we talk about, complimentary football. You know, that's
20:31
Speaker 1: what it's all about. Everyone playing together. The defense play
20:33
Speaker 1: spectacular today. Um, and and that's what we're gonna need
20:37
Speaker 1: moving forward. I got to do a better job of
20:38
Speaker 1: making sure we're um running things that we can extually
20:41
Speaker 1: at a high level and be efficient and stay on
20:43
Speaker 1: scheduling and you know, score touchdowns. We're just struggling throughout
20:48
Speaker 1: the season. Um. So it starts there. And then, uh, execution,
20:55
Speaker 1: you know, route team plays that we make in practice
20:57
Speaker 1: and how we do it in practice has to carry
20:59
Speaker 1: over the games. And right now it's not for a reason,
21:01
Speaker 1: same movie, same movie too. For the Jaguards on the
21:05
Speaker 1: road in the division, they've lost thirteen consecutive games on
21:08
Speaker 1: the road in the a f C South. But it
21:09
Speaker 1: looks as if Trevor Lawrence was going to get a
21:11
Speaker 1: win yesterday. Christian Kirk touchdown late. Now he set up
21:15
Speaker 1: look like they were would come back and beat the
21:17
Speaker 1: Colts once again. But Matt Ryan, the iceman, Matt Ryan
21:21
Speaker 1: had an historic day. Third and thirteen of twenty three
21:25
Speaker 1: seconds left. Here they're setting up for a chase McLaughlan
21:28
Speaker 1: field by except they're not. Ryan took a shot Piers
21:33
Speaker 1: to get five. Piers covers all old room, Trevor Lawrences.
21:39
Speaker 1: I want to do that one day. Matt Ryan forty
21:41
Speaker 1: two of fifty eight footy two for three, nine and three.
21:46
Speaker 1: Speaking of the same old movie, Bill Belichick had watched
21:49
Speaker 1: The browns Field. It's the same movie every week as well,
21:51
Speaker 1: and that is they run the ball reasonably well, but
21:53
Speaker 1: the defense just can't cover, can't stop the run. Bailey Zappy,
21:59
Speaker 1: to his credit, played well, there's Taypewon Thornton, the rookie
22:02
Speaker 1: from Baylor with a touchdown. Brent Delpotz as an fell
22:05
Speaker 1: down to this hunter Henry touchdown. I don't know. You
22:08
Speaker 1: only try to contain him. Manager Bill Belichick. This morning, Hey,
22:10
Speaker 1: do we have a quarterback question. When Mac Jones comes back,
22:16
Speaker 1: where do you see the starting quarterback situation? Who do
22:20
Speaker 1: you expect to be the starter at once Matt Jones
22:22
Speaker 1: is healthy, what we'll see the process is Max Dol's
22:26
Speaker 1: and I will play yesterday, so um, you know, will
22:29
Speaker 1: continue to evaluate him and and you know, see how
22:32
Speaker 1: he's doing physically. Okay Belichick, t Eyes, Papa Bear, George
22:36
Speaker 1: hallis second of the all type. How about how Joe
22:38
Speaker 1: Burrow showed up in the Naddy in the New Orleans. Yes,
22:43
Speaker 1: Jamar Chase won the Daddy as his teammate wearing Jamar's jersey.
22:47
Speaker 1: You're back and forth game, good game. Here's the Jamar
22:49
Speaker 1: Chase touchdown. Bengals cut the league to two, and then
22:53
Speaker 1: the Bengals strong. Here Jamaar chased down the sideline with
22:58
Speaker 1: two minutes to go, and that is a huge Bengals
23:02
Speaker 1: wind back home for Burrow and Chase. New Orleans. You
23:08
Speaker 1: know we just got it wrong. Um, defense got the
23:12
Speaker 1: stops when we needed to. I wouldn't say it felt different.
23:15
Speaker 1: I would say, you know, we we made the plays
23:17
Speaker 1: when we needed to win the games. And that's what
23:20
Speaker 1: has you know, escaped our grasp for the first five
23:24
Speaker 1: games and those three wins, we just didn't quite make
23:26
Speaker 1: that one last play to win. Today we did. Joe
23:30
Speaker 1: Burrow and the Bengals a huge road win. Tom Brady
23:33
Speaker 1: and the Bucks thought they were going to get a
23:34
Speaker 1: road win. The Steelers the biggest underdog of the day
23:38
Speaker 1: to win. They're trying to hang on late four and
23:40
Speaker 1: a half ago, Leonard Fournette bulldozes his way into the
23:43
Speaker 1: end zone. They were down eight. Now they need the
23:45
Speaker 1: two point conversion. But how about the play Devin Bush
23:47
Speaker 1: made here, Steve, this is a fantastic play all the
23:50
Speaker 1: time in the world for Brady. Bush undercuts it. When's
23:54
Speaker 1: the ballgame feeling and the Steelers get to two and four? There?
23:58
Speaker 1: What a eight team winners over the Buck and Ears.
24:01
Speaker 1: We have some breaking news here just hitting my phone
24:04
Speaker 1: sent by Ian Raff. Report that Carson Wentz injury in
24:09
Speaker 1: UH is significant. Yeah, significant and potentially serious. Carson Wentz
24:14
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles right now seeing a hand specialist. Could
24:18
Speaker 1: have more information on this throughout the day. But my
24:21
Speaker 1: understanding this is something I'm reporting with Kyllige, Mike Garrett, Folo,
24:24
Speaker 1: is that Carson Wentz faces a four to six week
24:28
Speaker 1: recovery time four to six weeks injured reserve is described
24:32
Speaker 1: to me as a possibility, So that might be something
24:36
Speaker 1: where we see once go on, I remember it's just
24:37
Speaker 1: four weeks this year, uh, and come back after that.
24:41
Speaker 1: There's also a possibility of surgery. Do not know for sure,
24:44
Speaker 1: but certainly that is something that is possible, which means
24:47
Speaker 1: for the Washington Commanders, Taylor Heineke likely steps in there
24:51
Speaker 1: at starting quarterback. You know, it has been a struggle offensively,
24:54
Speaker 1: does seem like there's some opportunities, So perhaps Taylor Heineke
24:58
Speaker 1: really has thrived in the system of Scott Turner will
25:02
Speaker 1: have some opportunities. Now we'll see if the Washington Commanders
25:04
Speaker 1: contender or fourth time in seven years for Carson Wentz.
25:07
Speaker 1: He's gonna miss some significant time here. And when you
25:09
Speaker 1: see the high five on a follow through, whether it's
25:11
Speaker 1: Drew Brees or Russell Wilson or in this case Carson Wentz,
25:15
Speaker 1: never a good thing finished the game. However, last week
25:19
