- 0:13Yo yo, welcome back to Banner with the boys.
- 0:16Gridiron updates week three already.
- 0:19I cannot believe it.
- 0:21We're just going to dive right in across the table for me.
- 0:24I'm smelty of course.
- 0:25Of course.
- 0:26But of course, like always.
- 0:28The one and the only.
- 0:29But across the table for me at cohost Rob.
- 0:33Rob, it was a fun week for us Vikings fans, man.
- 0:35It's also Vikings fan.
- 0:36We'll get to, we'll get to our guests, Ben.
- 0:40But Rob.
- 0:41Yeah, it was a really, really fun week.
- 0:43It was kind of a show me week, I think for everybody and everyone after the first week
- 0:47performances.
- 0:48There was a couple of games that went completely opposite what you would have thought of.
- 0:52And then there's a couple of two teams at the beginning of the year.
- 0:55You wouldn't think that there's a couple of two and O teams.
- 0:59So we'll get into that a little bit later.
- 1:00So it was an interesting, fun week.
- 1:02Yeah.
- 1:03Heck yeah.
- 1:04Absolutely.
- 1:05Back with us again.
- 1:06We're blessed to have Matt for a week two.
- 1:07I'm sorry.
- 1:08This is week three.
- 1:09Yeah.
- 1:10Fire up dude.
- 1:11I'm happy to be here.
- 1:12I mean, like this or no, you just, it's kind of like a rock on thing.
- 1:15Oh, you got to get the thumb in it though.
- 1:17I mean, possibly just think of spider man and let's fire up sometimes it can be a hang
- 1:21loose.
- 1:22But I mean, just yeah, fire up dude.
- 1:23Last week was great.
- 1:24I had a lot of fun with you guys.
- 1:25Thanks for having me.
- 1:26And I'm excited to be here again.
- 1:27We can talk.
- 1:28I do.
- 1:29I am.
- 1:30I'm jacked up.
- 1:31Yeah.
- 1:32And we're, I'm getting ready to talk football.
- 1:35Nice.
- 1:36Here we go.
- 1:37Awesome.
- 1:38Excellent to have you back again with us and then making a return this season.
- 1:41Who is a pager fan?
- 1:43Oh, sorry.
- 1:44Can you watch it?
- 1:45Can you say the word packer?
- 1:46But almost came again.
- 1:49That's what she said.
- 1:50Whoa.
- 1:51But Ben, thanks for coming again.
- 1:53Hey, it's an honor to be back.
- 1:54I had a lot of fun last time.
- 1:56Yeah, not a lot to talk about with the packers.
- 1:58I know.
- 1:59Hey, might be a rough start, but we'll get it figured out.
- 2:02We'll get to it.
- 2:03We'll get to it.
- 2:04We'll get to it.
- 2:05With that, let's go ahead and start off our five game recap.
- 2:19And starting it right off.
- 2:21Of course, we're starting with the bikes.
- 2:24The bikes proven a lot of people wrong.
- 2:27A lot of the experts wrong.
- 2:30The Vikings are two and oh, Matt, you're fired up.
- 2:32So why don't you, why don't you tell us your, tell us how fired up you are about the bikes
- 2:37right now.
- 2:38Yeah, my snippet.
- 2:39I mean, I mean, we go back to what I said.
- 2:41I mean, Sam Donald look great.
- 2:43Right.
- 2:44He did.
- 2:45He did.
- 2:46Will he be a top 10 quarterback to me?
- 2:47Yes.
- 2:48Maybe not to other people in your heart.
- 2:49In my heart.
- 2:50He is.
- 2:51He's been saying it for months.
- 2:52I mean, he's 13th is the date.
- 2:54So let's just fact check me later on on it.
- 2:57I mean, we look good.
- 2:59I mean, I told you that mean the 49ers are good.
- 3:02They make both.
- 3:03So actually still played pretty okay.
- 3:04Allegedly, he was getting hold on every play.
- 3:06If you go look at anything San Francisco related on social media still bias going up against
- 3:12the second best left tackle in the league, yeah, Brian O'Neill might be a couple, but
- 3:16correct.
- 3:17And that 97 yard pass man.
- 3:19Did that was epic?
- 3:20I mean, does that not look like a top 10 quarterback?
- 3:23Yeah.
- 3:24And that's not like a throw you typically would make not a single high safety like that.
- 3:27Absolutely not.
- 3:28From your one like, from your three yard line.
- 3:30Correct.
- 3:31That's 97 yards.
- 3:32If you look back, buddy, you see the Paul Allen thing.
- 3:34I'll get to you.
- 3:35He got after it.
- 3:37And let's even I've not seen Paul Allen's call yet.
- 3:40It's great.
- 3:41It's great.
- 3:42Yeah.
- 3:43It's amazing.
- 3:44And then you, you go to Jaylin Naylor filling in for Jordan Addison.
- 3:46I feel like he's been pretty decent.
- 3:48So yeah, he stepped up, I believe to you.
- 3:50His best play.
- 3:51I know he had the seam, but his best play for me is coming up and blocking real quick
- 3:56for JJ.
- 3:57Now could JJ have gotten the end zone probably, but like, it's the effort for me.
- 4:02I love, I love to see it.
- 4:03The guy's been working hard to like actually make the roster.
- 4:07He did finally make the roster what a couple of years ago, but he's been real low on the
- 4:10depth chart, finally getting a chance to shine.
- 4:12It's a speedy guy.
- 4:13Yeah.
- 4:14I only know him because he was Michigan State and I'm a Michigan State end gopher fan.
- 4:17Leave me alone about it.
- 4:18That's weird.
- 4:19I'm a charters fan.
- 4:20I mean, what are you a fan of?
- 4:24Winners.
- 4:25Oh yeah.
- 4:26Shots fired.
- 4:27At least you can say I'm not a bandwagon fan.
- 4:30That's fair.
- 4:31Fair, fair.
- 4:32He is a Vikings fan.
- 4:33I was telling you the whole thing.
- 4:34He ain't taking that to heart.
- 4:36No.
- 4:37Wow.
- 4:38Winners.
- 4:39You put it on the tee, so I was going to hit it.
- 4:40I did not put that on the tee.
- 4:42Play softball.
- 4:43Oh man.
- 4:44Anyway, Rob, Vikes.
- 4:45Yeah.
- 4:46Vikes are nice.
- 4:47I'm a video nailer, like as a coach, you love seeing that on tape.
- 4:50There's nothing better, but also on that play.
- 4:52Did you guys see the ref?
- 4:53Oh yeah.
- 4:54He was hauling down.
- 4:55That was like the problem was like the little caveat to the thing, the way he like adjusted
- 5:01and then all and then back and back pedaled at the end.
- 5:04Hips and then that was really cool.
- 5:06But Vikings, they ran the ball nice.
- 5:09The Arnold was pretty consistent most of the day and the defense just gave Purdy fits all
- 5:15day long and different looks, different schemes.
- 5:17Brian Flores has got it going right now.
- 5:20So yeah, I mean, we should actually at the end of that, if Jones doesn't fumble at that
- 5:24one, we're up 27 seven and it's a whole different conversation that we blew him out almost.
- 5:29Yeah.
- 5:30Yeah.
- 5:31No, 100%.
- 5:32I mean, I don't want to keep talking about the Vikes, but what about San Francisco?
- 5:38What should they be concerned about losing a game like this?
- 5:41Are they concerned about anything at all?
- 5:43Fingers is just like, yeah, we took our L, we messed up regroup.
- 5:47We're still the best team in NFC.
- 5:49I mean, no, you go, you go.
- 5:51All right.
- 5:52Yeah, that triggered it.
- 5:53I think, I think it's more McCaffrey and Dbo being out hurts him more than, okay, we
- 6:00lost that game, but yeah, we don't have our best players, but you still can't use that
- 6:03as an excuse.
- 6:04But they did play most of the game.
- 6:06I know, but him going down now for the future games is going to hurt a lot more.
- 6:11So they just have to find a way to figure it out and next man up.
- 6:14I think it's just Shani, Shani and Flores.
- 6:18They just got their number with KOC.
- 6:20I mean, the word, we want foreign role.
- 6:22I think two with against KOC in the last two years.
- 6:27So I think so.
- 6:28Yeah.
- 6:29I would agree with you.
- 6:30McCaffrey is definitely, it takes an element, I think out of it, but Mason's been looking
- 6:34really nice for them too.
- 6:35Oh, yeah.
- 6:36Mason looks fine.
- 6:37But I mean, if you, if you just think about it, I mean, football is just a game of just
- 6:41a play here and there.
- 6:42I think it was just an out coached game.
- 6:46I think, I think it was a truly, there were two very good teams.
- 6:50It's a six point difference.
- 6:51It could have gone either way at any point.
- 6:53It could have.
- 6:54Yeah.
- 6:55Absolutely.
- 6:56Sam, that was last week.
- 6:57Sam, Donald played for the 49ers last year.
- 6:59Okay.
- 7:00So what, what did he bring to the table for KOC?
- 7:02He said, this is how they do it.
- 7:03And on top of just KOC game planning for his own team or Brian floor is game plan for his
- 7:09own team.
- 7:10Like maybe just the Vikings are great coaches.
- 7:12I agree.
- 7:13And I'm not biased.
- 7:14That's like a real thing.
- 7:15But Josh, the Niners too, on the other side.
- 7:17So like, you know, that, you know, should that almost equal the playing field of inside
- 7:22information?
- 7:23I mean, there was something I saw.
- 7:24It was Sam Darnold.
- 7:26He was talking about how he learned from Brock Purdy and just how he studied the game.
- 7:30So I think even though he's a veteran, he's still learning the game and it's helping him
- 7:36progress.
- 7:37And now that he's got a team around him.
- 7:39He's showing what you've said is potentially a top 10 quarterback.
- 7:43Like he's, he's got the system around him now and not necessarily just the system, but
- 7:48the trust and the confidence in everyone in him.
- 7:52It's interesting.
- 7:53You bring that up because now I just totally lost my thought.
- 7:57Wow.
- 7:58Well, it was just the confidence.
- 7:59This is like the big thing he was talking about is he's just, you know, when you play
- 8:02with confidence, you know, one, two, three, he knows that route.
- 8:05He knows where he's going with the ball.
- 8:07And they just, that you play different football when you play with confidence or any other
- 8:11sport.
- 8:12Yeah.
- 8:13And I mean, I always tell my football kids is like, it's not, it's not just the, it's
- 8:16not the gameplay.
- 8:17If you play with a hundred percent effort, it will make up for a hundred percent of the
- 8:20mistakes.
- 8:21You just go hard, you play hard.
- 8:22It'll, it'll, it'll ease its way out.
- 8:25I just, I think they played a great game and, and we just keep rolling the dice, man.
- 8:31Keep rolling the dice.
- 8:32Yeah.
- 8:33I mean that pump block by Ham, I was kind of like, that was kind of one of that first
- 8:36plays in that first half that really, that's where you felt the momentum shift.
- 8:40Yes.
- 8:41I would totally, even though we only got a field go out of that play, but it was like,
- 8:43all right, we got, we started off hot early and you know, and then when we got up 10 off
- 8:48that other fourth, it was at a fourth and turnover and downs right there.
- 8:53Correct.
- 8:54Yup.
- 8:55And that's where Van Winkle got a hand on the ball and that little out row.
- 8:57The same little rocket screen that they threw.
- 9:00I think it was a dig.
- 9:01That was a different play that you're talking about, but it was on the goal line on that
- 9:04fourth down play.
- 9:05I think they were going to Jenkins on that play and he just got his hand on it a little
- 9:10bit and broke up the timing of it.
- 9:12And then with that 97 yarder happened that for that.
- 9:15And then it was game on.
- 9:16It was game on.
- 9:17It was game on with that.
- 9:19The Vikings did win that game, but I did not remember what I was going to say about Sam
- 9:23Darnold.
- 9:24I don't know, completely blanked it out.
- 9:25So I'll try to remember it.
- 9:26You were just saying he was a top 10.
- 9:28But 15 is what I'm sticking with, but see that I think is a more fair assessment with
- 9:34you.
- 9:35I mean, right now he's showing the top 10 quarterback, but can he sustain that the whole
- 9:39season?
- 9:40Yeah, I just, I think we just didn't lose anything from losing Kurt Cousins and going
- 9:44to Sam Darnold.
- 9:45I don't think so either.
- 9:46If anything, we got a little bit more athletic at the position slightly than Kurt Cousins,
- 9:50but that's, that's about it.
- 9:51You know what I mean?
- 9:52Like if you also have a healthy Sam Darnold versus a recovering Kurt Cousins, for sure,
- 9:56but if he can give us Kurt Cousins numbers are better.
- 9:58I think the Vikings are fine.
- 9:59I think, and with what Brian Flores is doing on the defense, who knows?
- 10:03Even Brock, Bertie was telling him Flores, like your defense is crazy.
- 10:06Yeah.
- 10:07At the end of the day, they caught it on the money.
- 10:09He said there, your scheme is crazy.
- 10:11Yeah.
- 10:12Really?
- 10:13Oh, that's what I was going to say really quick.
- 10:14And then we got to move on.
- 10:15Dang.
- 10:16I was going to say it is crazy that Sam Darnold as a veteran was saying that he was learning
- 10:21how pretty studies the game and the fact that you're a veteran and you're that open
- 10:25to learning what a young guy is doing.
- 10:28I think that's crazy.
- 10:29I think that speaks volumes about.
- 10:30It shows his leadership.
- 10:31It shows the game, your leader, your.
- 10:34Because not only are you teaching him, but you're allowing him to be able to teach you
- 10:37as well.
- 10:38For sure.
- 10:39And I think that what that's what makes a good leader is you take your, your guys will
- 10:43take the good from you and you got to do the same.
- 10:46Show them the same respect, take the good from them.
- 10:49For sure.
- 10:50They will teach you a thing or two.
- 10:51For sure.
- 10:52I just want to add too, as a Vikings fan, one thing that's really like a positive thing,
- 10:55we're down Addison right now.
- 10:57We're down T.J.
- 10:59We don't have all our weapons right now.
- 11:02So with nailer, Powell, the rest of them stepping in, it's the vibes are the vibes.
- 11:07And then the 50 cent song in the locker room afterwards, like that, that team just looks
- 11:13bid and they're ready.
- 11:15It's feeling different right now.
- 11:16Are you about to school chair right now?
- 11:18I was.
- 11:19And contain it.
- 11:20Me and Aaron Jones, you know, just gets it's going buddy.
- 11:25Let's go.
- 11:26Right.
- 11:27All right.
- 11:28So here's your Packers.
- 11:30We'll go over who picked what and update you on the banner with the boys standings before
- 11:35we move into our tent talk, but Ben, your Packers won 16 to 10.
- 11:41Josh Jacobs look great.
- 11:42Josh.
- 11:43Well, they finally fed him the rock.
- 11:44I mean, yeah, like more like 30 carries.
- 11:47Yeah, it was 151.
- 11:49But he looked really good.
- 11:51And I think that's what helped Malik get comfortable too.
- 11:53And they were doing, you know, short passes, medium passes, nothing too crazy.
- 11:58But it was getting him into a rhythm into feeling like, all right, this is, this is
- 12:02going to be the life for the next couple of weeks while love is gone.
- 12:05Like I better get used to it and find yourself in the update on love status back or fan.
- 12:12It's probably going to be at least a few weeks.
- 12:14Still a few weeks.
- 12:15Is that what you're getting through your?
- 12:16I haven't heard anything new, but I would, based on what he's got, I would say it's going
- 12:20to be a couple of weeks.
- 12:22Okay.
- 12:23I mean, do you think Malik will this will be able to be that viable option that'll hold
- 12:27you through those few weeks?
- 12:29Or do you just based on his mobility too?
- 12:31Like you saw the difference that made just being able to extend plays.
- 12:35Like even if it's a dump off, you give yourself another second or two to find somebody or
- 12:40you can run it 20 yards downfield.
- 12:41Yeah.
- 12:42I'll take that Sam, Sam, Sam Bradford had a life on dump off passes.
- 12:46Oh yeah.
- 12:47He did.
- 12:48Hey, if he would have stayed healthy, Sam Bradford, I had a heck of a career like fully
- 12:52healthy.
- 12:53Still better, better.
- 12:54But yeah.
- 12:55He was the last drop of quarterbacks to get the big rookie count contracts.
- 12:59Yeah.
- 13:00I think he was the last one.
- 13:01He was the last one.
- 13:04But I do, I do want to say, I would like to see the Packers throw the ball just slightly
- 13:07more.
- 13:08I know it's, I know it's Malik Willis 14 attempts.
- 13:1114 attempts.
- 13:12Sorry to steal your money.
- 13:13That's not enough.
- 13:14And no, no, you good.
- 13:15But like Josh Jacobs at 32 carries it at some point, you got to bring that number back
- 13:18down.
- 13:19I get it this week for Malik Willis.
- 13:20It's a great idea.
- 13:21Let, let him run the rock, but I'd bring that back down to like, you got to find more
- 13:25of a balance.
- 13:26At least closer to like 25, man.
- 13:28Like for me, like, yeah, you don't want to, you don't want to break him the first time
- 13:32you have him for sure.
- 13:34And I just looked it up.
- 13:35Yeah, it could be, you know, the, the, they play the Titans this week.
- 13:40Yeah, they do.
- 13:41They do play the Titans.
- 13:42So the flier was saying, like, if love was healthy enough, he would like to have him
- 13:47at practice.
- 13:48And so far he hasn't been there.
- 13:49So maybe that's an idea that Malik's going to get another start, but yeah, as far as
- 13:56the Colts go, disappointing, very disappointing, disappointing game for them.
- 14:01Super winnable game.
- 14:02I'm not taking nothing away from the Packers, but without Jordan love, you have to win that
- 14:06game if you're the Colts, especially in that division.
- 14:09And you want to stay afloat a little bit at this point, you know what I mean?
- 14:13Yeah, they did.
- 14:14I feel like they just didn't come out.
- 14:15They got their literally punched in the mouth right away with that Josh Jacobs running
- 14:19game.
- 14:20Then when Forest Buckner going down, I don't know if that just took all the air out of
- 14:25that defense and they just got literally destroyed on the line.
- 14:29I'm not like discrediting the Packers defense by any means.
- 14:33They played great.
- 14:34You know, they made, they made good plays.
- 14:36You kept a R and check.
- 14:37You know what I mean?
- 14:38That's back to Anthony Richard going 50% from the field there too.
- 14:42You know, as that's three picks with three picks, you know, they weren't as bad as Caleb
- 14:45Williams picks this week, but they were pretty bad.
- 14:48They were pretty bad.
- 14:50You calling a buster already on Caleb Williams?
- 14:52Oh yeah.
- 14:53Anthony Richardson.
- 14:54No, Anthony Richardson.
- 14:55No, but Caleb Williams, just cause I heard the name yet bust.
- 14:58Okay.
- 14:59Oh boy.
- 15:00We'll table that.
- 15:01That could be a conversation.
- 15:02Put one on the back pocket.
- 15:03I mean, so how much do we know of Anthony Richardson?
- 15:04It's the thought, right?
- 15:05Because not enough yet.
- 15:06Not enough.
- 15:07And so we, we're on this train of what we saw last year where he was like, Anthony Richardson
- 15:12balled out.
- 15:13We, we, we did a lot of teams in that count for him.
- 15:15Now you go into this week.
- 15:16We saw week one.
- 15:17Okay.
- 15:18We go into week two against the Packers where we all thought he was still this last year
- 15:22kind of guy, but we still don't know.
- 15:24Like teams are starting to get to know him like, I mean, he threw three picks, right?
- 15:30But 200 yards, three picks.
- 15:32It's yard wise is great.
- 15:34Picks wise, not great.
- 15:35Jonathan Taylor threw more or not through more, but he ran more.
- 15:39He got about a hundred yards.
- 15:40Um, I just, I, we don't know enough about Anthony Richardson yet to say, Hey, he's going to
- 15:46be a top quarterback.
- 15:48So we're near enough.
- 15:49He played four games last year.
- 15:50I had to look it up.
- 15:51I know it wasn't many, but he only played four games.
- 15:52So he's going to have these learning curves.
- 15:54He's in a sophomore year.
- 15:55He's going to have these learning curves.
- 15:57Um, so against the Packers defense is actually pretty solid.
- 16:01I just don't, I'm only Malik.
- 16:03Will is going for 12 or 14 or whatever.
- 16:06And they ran Josh Jacobs, 32 yards.
- 16:07How do you, I mean, Josh Jacobs is used to that load back in the Raiders.
- 16:11So, right.
- 16:12Yeah.
- 16:13That's true.
- 16:14At least, at least he is.
- 16:15He's used to it.
- 16:16So you can get away with it in the short term, but over the course of a season for sure.
- 16:19No, just a bad idea for any running back.
- 16:21No, the cold school, the cold school, that game and not load the box and just go make
- 16:25him throw the ball.
- 16:27Right.
- 16:28Like that's what I don't get about that game is that he only have 14 attempts.
- 16:32I mean, you got to put nine, 10 in the box and just man to man on the outside.
- 16:36What do you think's coming?
- 16:37Right.
- 16:38You know, like, he's been on the team for a month.
- 16:40So like, he doesn't know the, the whole offensive scheme yet.
- 16:44So they should have accounted for at least Lance digs, short routes, dump offs and 32
- 16:50yard attempts, 32 attempts from Josh Jacobs.
- 16:52But anyway, they'll figure it out.
- 16:55I'll be fine.
- 16:56But you know, the Packers home game, that place was rocking.
- 16:58So you, you know, Lambo's got this own mystique to it.
- 17:02You know, it was Anthony's first time playing there.
- 17:05You know, that's something.
- 17:06He's lucky.
- 17:07He got nice weather for it.
- 17:09He did.
- 17:10For a first time.
- 17:11Right time of season.
- 17:12Yeah, especially for your first game, just parting thought for the Colts.
- 17:16I mean, Jonathan Taylor did have 12 carries on 103 yards.
- 17:19That's a great day for him.
- 17:21So Packers have always had a hard time stopping the run and it never changes.
- 17:26They held a check at least a little bit, but he's still average 9.3 yards to carry too.
- 17:31So there's that.
- 17:32There's that.
- 17:33But the Packers get away with the win.
- 17:34I'll take it.
- 17:35None of us here again, I'm going to recap the standings at the end, but none of us here
- 17:39chose the Packers to win that game, a Jordan loveless game.
- 17:43We thought, we thought for sure the Packers would take that, but I mean, I'm sorry, thought
- 17:48for sure the Colts would take that and we were wrong.
- 17:50So I did not see that coming.
- 17:53You know, and we talked about it with feeding the Brock to Josh Jacobs and you know, and
- 17:59that's exactly what they did.
- 18:00And so I'm so surprised the Colts didn't see a comment.
- 18:03Yeah, right, right.
- 18:04I mean, the way it looked like he was running though, even if you saw it coming, they still
- 18:08couldn't stop it.
- 18:09I'm sure.
- 18:10For sure.
- 18:11Let's move on.
- 18:12Let's move on.
- 18:13Bills traveling to Miami.
- 18:15That was a little bit of a surprise for me.
- 18:16I know for me, for me, I know a couple of us thought that the Bills would win this game,
- 18:23including Matt and Rob.
- 18:24What'd he do?
- 18:25Jake, who's not here this week and I thought the Dolphins would pull that off.
- 18:30I was skeptical of it, but I still thought it would be close in the worst case scenario.
- 18:35Like if the Dolphins lost, I figured it would be close.
- 18:36I did not expect this.
- 18:38Yes, too, it went down the third quarter and we'll get, we'll touch on two a little bit
- 18:41later, but holy crap.
- 18:45Like I'm, I'm worried about the defense in Miami right now is my biggest concern.
- 18:49It didn't look good.
- 18:50Yeah, they didn't put points up either, but I'm worried about that defense personally.
- 18:55Did I get pressure on the quarterback, man?
- 18:57Yeah.
- 18:58Did I get pressure on the quarterback?
- 18:59You give Josh Allen any kind of time.
- 19:01He's going to tear you up.
- 19:03So Josh Allen's interesting for me.
- 19:07I don't hate the guy.
- 19:08I know your wife loves him.
- 19:09Love some.
- 19:10Um, but love him too.
- 19:13I love him a lot for me.
- 19:15Josh Allen is kind of like, wow, there's, I'm going to go ahead and say it.
- 19:19This is going to be a hot take.
- 19:24This isn't a hot take.
- 19:25I'm just saying Josh Allen, as far as regular season play goes, remind me, reminds me a little
- 19:30bit, except for this week of Dak Prescott, super good regular season, gets to the playoffs,
- 19:36can't quite get over the hump.
- 19:37You see it with a lot of good quarterbacks though.
- 19:39You know what I mean?
- 19:40Lamar Jackson's in that boat too.
- 19:41At this point, great regular season, can't get over that hump.
- 19:43So for him to go out and ball out, but what did you, 13 for 19 hundred, 39 yards, one
- 19:48touchdown is not really balling out, but it's, but it's in the second half.
- 19:52So I need to, I mean, they were up 24 to what, 10 and a half.
- 19:57It's efficient.
- 19:58It's efficient quality, good yards.
- 20:00It's something I expect from him.
- 20:02You know what I mean?
- 20:03So that's my only issue with Josh Allen.
- 20:05I like the guy.
- 20:06He's right on the ground.
- 20:07It's a hard guy to tackle.
- 20:08I mean, but if you want to get to the playoffs, you got to win games.
- 20:11You do a hundred percent.
- 20:12I agree.
- 20:13Doesn't matter if he balls out or not.
- 20:14He's going to win you the game.
- 20:16I'm going to bring this up when we hit playoffs, when the bills do make the playoffs, I'll
- 20:19bring this up later and be like, first round exit.
- 20:22No, no, not, that's not happening.
- 20:25Why are they going to buy?
- 20:26Well, we'll table it.
- 20:27Yeah.
- 20:28We'll talk about, I mean, HN played a nice game for them.
- 20:30The dolphins just never seem to get anything going in the first quarter.
- 20:34They're punted a lot and then James Cook absolutely took the game over, you know, you know, like
- 20:39once they got up 24 early in the first half, I mean, it was a pretty much a blow off from
- 20:45there.
- 20:46And then at the end of the game, unfortunately two are going down with trying to make a first
- 20:51downplay and ends up with a concussion.
- 20:53So it's going to be a difficult few weeks, I think for the dolphins moving forward.
- 20:58A hundred percent.
- 20:59They, I was going to save this for news, but we might as well bring it up now.
- 21:03They just signed, um, not Jacob Ryan Tana Hill.
- 21:07No, they did not.
- 21:08They just brought in Tyler Huntley from the Raven.
- 21:11I saw that spot.
- 21:12Yeah.
- 21:13So I figured that's interesting a little bit.
- 21:14So maybe you're Thompson is scheduled to start.
- 21:16Probably the guy to start.
- 21:17Yeah.
- 21:18I mean, he didn't play that bad last year when he had to come in.
- 21:21Yeah.
- 21:22He played three games.
- 21:23He played a playoff game to win and then he won the playoff game.
- 21:25I don't know.
- 21:26I think they did against the jets.
- 21:27Yeah.
- 21:28Yeah.
- 21:29One that I mean, it looks like Adam Thielen back there ready to throw up number 19.
- 21:33It is.
- 21:34It is.
- 21:35It is weird.
- 21:36You know, it, I, I, they do need to find a viable backup for Miami.
- 21:40Um, I mean, the Ryan Tana Hill is an interesting, I mean, he's the best quote unquote free
- 21:45agent.
- 21:46And he has history there with the dolphins, but Tom bird.
- 21:51Yeah.
- 21:52I just, I don't think the money's there for Tana Hill.
- 21:55I think the Huntley is a decent, decent thing to get them to where they need to be.
- 21:59I mean, a concussion truly is, is it what, how many weeks, not, not a whole season, but
- 22:04with his situation again, I believe they're going to place them on IR if they haven't
- 22:10already, they have, they have.
- 22:11And it's, so what was that?
- 22:12That's a minimum of four, four, four, but again, where, where that situation ends up
- 22:17blind.
- 22:18Sure.
- 22:19But they may need to find something else other than Trevor Huntley.
- 22:21Uh, Tyreek didn't not Trevor.
- 22:23Yeah.
- 22:24Tyler.
- 22:25T.
- 22:26I think it's interesting on Mcdonald Mcdonald's how he adjusts his offense now.
- 22:36It can't be the open throw it down the field.
- 22:39And he go back to more establishing the run game more little quick, you know, bubble screens,
- 22:44jet screens, what I just learned, pocket screens, stuff like that versus the downfield plays.
- 22:50So it'll be interesting to see, you know, his coaching adjustment to see how the dolphins
- 22:54can stay in it.
- 22:55Yeah.
- 22:56I see it.
- 22:57I mean, I see a lot of like jet motions or a little pot, like little passes, like chest
- 23:00passes as they, as they motion over, which would be a passing passing yards for the set
- 23:04quarterback.
- 23:05Uh, just get those playmakers in space, let them play HN, uh, keep handed him the rock.
- 23:12They'll be okay until they have to make a decision.
- 23:15Um, so I, Miami, I don't count them out yet.
- 23:19Um, but they got working good.
- 23:22It's a tough road ahead.
- 23:24Yeah.
- 23:25That's what we do.
- 23:26So we'll kind of forget about Miami for a little bit.
- 23:28We got Buffalo two weeks in a row and prime time games.
- 23:31So we'll see what they're about.
- 23:33They got, they got Jaguars and they go play in Baltimore and, uh, Sunday night football
- 23:38in two weeks.
- 23:39I think that'll be their test.
- 23:40Yeah.
- 23:41That'll be a good game.
- 23:42That'll be their test.
- 23:43Um, let's keep it moving though.
- 23:44We got a lot to talk about today.
- 23:46So, uh, bucks traveling to Detroit, another game that the entire crew up here got wrong.
- 23:53We thought Detroit at home for sure, uh, it was tough though.
- 23:56I know Robin, I both kind of thought about it a little bit, but we did go Detroit figuring
- 24:00that they would get it done.
- 24:03Baker Mayfield and company got it done.
- 24:05That defense looked good too for the Tampa Bay.
- 24:07Yes, they did.
- 24:08I think, I think Jared got forced a lot of throws.
- 24:11He didn't particularly play his best, but Baker Mayfield just looks different in Tampa.
- 24:18He does.
- 24:19It's the same thing with the same darnel conversation we had.
- 24:22Just the confidence in people having in him look how much of a difference it is from his
- 24:27time in Cleveland to here.
- 24:28Even he started getting that when he was with the Rams too.
- 24:31Yeah.
- 24:32And Cleveland.
- 24:33And you started to get, I mean, how many have they had worse than the Panthers?
- 24:36No, they're up there too.
- 24:38That's a good, that's a good.
- 24:40That's a different combo.
- 24:42But, um, you, Jared Gough was, he was forcing a lot of throws.
- 24:46I mean, he threw the ball 55 times and he still went over 307 yards.
- 24:50I would hope so if you're throwing the ball.
- 24:5255 times in the game.
- 24:53Um, but yeah, he was forcing throws, which led to a couple of, a lot of bad picks at
- 24:59bad times.
- 25:00You know, David Montgomery wasn't as sharp this week.
- 25:03Gibbs picked up a little bit for him, but it's great.
- 25:05He did.
- 25:06He did.
- 25:07I mean, he is, he is who we thought he was too.
- 25:09You know, we, we know what Gibbs is going to give you.
- 25:10And that's a great one, two combo.
- 25:12It just wasn't enough this week.
- 25:13It just wasn't enough.
- 25:14He did Hutchinson.
- 25:15Hutchinson is going to be a problem.
- 25:17Yeah.
- 25:18He had a long time.
- 25:19Oh my God.
- 25:20I mean, I think you see the field goal play at the end of the first half.
- 25:23So they got a too many men on the field.
- 25:26Oh yeah.
- 25:27Yeah.
- 25:28Because they, yeah.
- 25:29So Campbell came out in the press conference after he said, this game is all on me because
- 25:33the offense was already out there and then they started it.
- 25:35Yeah.
- 25:36They were going to try to spike it, but the field goal team was coming on at the same
- 25:38time.
- 25:39So by the time they snapped it, there was like 18 guys on the field.
- 25:42Then they did the 10 second runoff and then the half ended over.
- 25:45So they got no points there.
- 25:46Yeah.
- 25:47And that's maybe a different game in the second half.
- 25:49When you don't need a touchdown at the end of the game, you just need a field goal.
- 25:53Yeah.
- 25:54I like that.
- 25:55Campbell though, at least he can accept when he messes up, you know what I mean?
- 25:58Like, should you always take the blame as the head coach?
- 26:02Probably not.
- 26:03I don't know.
- 26:04I don't know.
- 26:05I've never been a head coach.
- 26:06But on that point, he told them to come in.
- 26:07But I just love how he owns it.
- 26:08Oh yeah.
- 26:09When he messes up, he owns that and he really puts the team on his shoulders, I feel like,
- 26:14as a coach more than any, more than most coaches in the league.
- 26:19And he puts a lot of faith in his team.
- 26:20You know, he goes for it a lot of times on fourth down, putting the faith in his guys
- 26:23to get it done.
- 26:25Like you see it constantly.
- 26:26Oh, it's fourth and three, fourth and four.
- 26:29Go for it.
- 26:30I mean, he's very aggressive.
- 26:31He's going to do it.
- 26:34As a player, see your coach take, take the responsibility of those actions that have
- 26:38happened.
- 26:39Do you not think that that makes them buy into the person that they're playing?
- 26:42100%.
- 26:43100%.
- 26:44So I think with the culture that the Lions have right now is, you know, God, wouldn't
- 26:50any team want to be like the Lions at this moment?
- 26:53I mean, truly granted after losing the bucks, maybe not, but
- 26:56Well, on their one and one, the bikes are two and all.
- 26:57So everybody wants to be a bike.
- 26:58Everyone wants to be a bike.
- 26:59But you saw what it also did for the city of Detroit last season in the playoffs.
- 27:03It's a great story.
- 27:04You see how they all came around together throughout that, that whole season leading
- 27:11up to that point.
- 27:13You could see it each week that it was growing and the city was getting a ton of excitement
- 27:18there.
- 27:19And I mean, as a NFC North, you know, go Vikings kind of guy, it's actually kind of
- 27:24cool to see and Lions actually do something.
- 27:26So you can't, you can't hate on that.
- 27:28I gave him last year.
- 27:29Now I'm done with him.
- 27:30Oh, you give one shot.
- 27:31You get one year.
- 27:32That's one year, you know, you're in the Vikings and it helps the Vikings and all the teams
- 27:36in the North are one and one.
- 27:38And the Vikings are also two and oh in the conference.
- 27:40So later on on tiebreakers, that's going to be a huge advantage.
- 27:44For sure.
- 27:45For sure.
- 27:46Also two and oh, the Buccaneers are now two and oh, they are.
- 27:49They are your team.
- 27:50They're going to win this out.
- 27:51Another one of Tyler's random fan team.
- 27:52No, I'm not a fan of them.
- 27:54No, no, no, no, no, I'm not a fan.
- 27:55It's just the bikes and chargers on me.
- 27:57That's it.
- 27:58That's it.
- 27:59It's capped.
- 28:00I have two, two teams in each league.
- 28:01That's it.
- 28:02That's how that works.
- 28:03But God went out and ice game, you know, like I said, I think last week, you don't want
- 28:07teams play zone.
- 28:08That's when God and fantasy people, that's where you come into this.
- 28:10God win.
- 28:11If they play zone man to man Evans.
- 28:14So if you're, if you're deciding on your pick, that's where to go.
- 28:18I don't hate that.
- 28:19I mean, he just ran.
- 28:20Yeah.
- 28:21Ran.
- 28:22He 117 yards is crazy.
- 28:23What concerns is the running back situation in Tampa, like a shot whites find, but when
- 28:30Baker may feel out rushes you.
- 28:32That's a problem.
- 28:33I would, I would, I would like as someone who plays fantasy and drafting a shot white,
- 28:37he drove me nuts, any who, um, they may have to figure that out.
- 28:42But as they're winning games, they're two and oh, I guess it really didn't matter truly.
- 28:45So see what, see what happens coming forward.
- 28:47I do need to fix that though.
- 28:48The run game.
- 28:49You need to do later on that we saw that with Alex medicine.
- 28:53I mean, it's, it's, it's more for the end of the games.
- 28:58When you need to run off that clock, maybe that's when the running game is the most crucial,
- 29:02you know, for a team like that or to set up something else though, too.
- 29:05And you do need to establish around early.
- 29:07I'm a big believer in that, but it's like, if it's not working, it's hard to bring around
- 29:12the rest of the game.
- 29:13So it's, it's great that they won.
- 29:14It's, I don't know.
- 29:15It's something to see.
- 29:16They're still two and oh, it was a good game.
- 29:17It was fun.
- 29:18It was fun to watch.
- 29:19You know, to know, to know, to know, uh, moving on to another team.
- 29:23That's two and oh, the bangles, uh, traveling to Kansas city, Kansas city snuck away with
- 29:32one.
- 29:33They did sneak away with it.
- 29:34I got a hot take for the end of that game, but we'll get to that in a minute.
- 29:38Don't I mean, I might see you.
- 29:39You might as well.
- 29:40I mean, if you just start with it, man, just keep it going.
- 29:42Leave the horse to water.
- 29:43Let's drink.
- 29:44So that pass interference call on that fourth down, I think if you reverse the roles and
- 29:48I'm not talking about the teams, I'm saying if that receiver is going over the top of
- 29:53that defender, I don't think they throw that flag.
- 29:56So why are you going to throw it for the defense when he's also going to play the ball?
- 30:00He just got there first.
- 30:02That's a tough call.
- 30:04I actually threw that out there.
- 30:06I wanted to see an example of exactly what you said of like a receiver going over the
- 30:11top of the defender to knock down the ball.
- 30:14I couldn't find any particular in myself to find it, but yeah, that, that's a tough
- 30:19call.
- 30:20Even though I do think it was passing interference, he got there a little earlier.
- 30:22He did get there.
- 30:23He got there a little reckless.
- 30:24I think if there was less obvious contact, I don't think they throw it even though he
- 30:29did get there early.
- 30:31But I mean, that's also got to be on him.
- 30:33Like, Hey, you know, you can't take a flag right there.
- 30:35Yeah.
- 30:36Fourth down.
- 30:37It's part of the NFL script.
- 30:38It's, it's, it's a hot take in itself.
- 30:41I mean, it's a true, it's true.
- 30:43I think that might be one of the hardest things to do as a referee is actually call something
- 30:47like that.
- 30:48In that moment, in that moment at that time, it's really hard to any other person who watches
- 30:54football is put in that scenario where like, Hey, what do you do here with all the pressure
- 30:58and all the people watching you?
- 31:00You're going to get flack no matter what you do.
- 31:02Yeah.
- 31:03Right.
- 31:04And with the contact that was made before the ball got there, it, I think it's got
- 31:08to draw flag.
- 31:09You have to call that because you're, and also, I mean, the chiefs of one, the super
- 31:13well, you a number of times the, the, the script.
- 31:18So any who, I'm kind of peoed because I called the Bengals to beat the chiefs this week.
- 31:23Sure did.
- 31:24And for the whole week, I was like, was this the right decision?
- 31:27Was this the right decision?
- 31:28Was this the right decision?
- 31:30And watching the game, I was like, it was the right decision.
- 31:33No, it wasn't.
- 31:34It ultimately didn't end up happening.
- 31:35I mean, Joe Burrow just hasn't looked the same either.
- 31:37No, because he needs to get rid of the bleach blonde hair.
- 31:40I think that might be hurting him.
- 31:41I think he looks healthy actually.
- 31:43Like, you know, you know, maybe not fully back to where he was.
- 31:47It was a pretty competitive game.
- 31:48He's getting there though.
- 31:49I think he looked better than I, when I planned on, especially in playing in Kansas City.
- 31:55I know I tend to go for the home teams, but like playing at another team seems tough,
- 31:59man, in the NFL, it's loud in there.
- 32:01It is.
- 32:02As you're going to Carolina, you're fine.
- 32:03You know what I mean?
- 32:04There's like 10 people.
- 32:05It's too quiet.
- 32:06There's like 10 people.
- 32:07Back to colored football.
- 32:08Everybody's hearing your hot calls and your audibles and stuff pretty clearly, but playing
- 32:13in Kansas City is just tough.
- 32:14So I think I'm okay with Joe Burrow's play this week.
- 32:17I think he did do enough to win the game.
- 32:20It's just, it's just one of those things, man, that it comes to the end of the game
- 32:24and it always comes down to it.
- 32:26The final drive.
- 32:27Patrick Mahomes with the ball and the last drive.
- 32:31That's what I mean.
- 32:32And he had what is second lowest career passing yardage at 151.
- 32:37So I think that's going to be really interesting.
- 32:40Moving forward is other defensive coordinators looking at that tape and seeing what the bangles
- 32:45did to contain the chiefs really to 151 yards passing, which rarely ever happened.
- 32:52So I think moving forward will be really interesting.
- 32:55But you're right.
- 32:56I think I'm going to fall in Mahomes hands.
- 32:57There's way too much time left for him to slice and dice.
- 33:02Kirk Cousin is Kirk Cousin.
- 33:03Yes, that's right.
- 33:05Being able to extend the play.
- 33:06Yeah, it makes something happen.
- 33:08He's the best at it.
- 33:09He's still the number one quarterback in the league, in my opinion.
- 33:12I think the more action is good, but Patrick Mahomes, I'm sorry.
- 33:16He's, he's light years.
- 33:18He's just better.
- 33:19He wins.
- 33:20He's a winner.
- 33:21He just figures out a way to win.
- 33:22Every time I think he's going to lose, it just doesn't happen.
- 33:24I don't understand.
- 33:25He just doesn't make the mistakes in those times where you can't make that mistake.
- 33:30He just keeps his composure.
- 33:32You don't like that.
- 33:33You don't see it on his face.
- 33:34In the play he does.
- 33:35So like freak out or like, you know what I mean?
- 33:37Yeah.
- 33:38But then it like immediately next play.
- 33:39I agree.
- 33:40Like he's always ready to for the next play.
- 33:42It's like whatever happened, he can't get it back.
- 33:45So it's like, why stay mad at it?
- 33:47It's like, he's like, all right, lock in next play.
- 33:50So I do want to bring up quick that the bangles are on two right now.
- 33:55They shouldn't have lost on paper anyway.
- 33:58They shouldn't have lost last week to New England.
- 34:00Now you go to Kansas City and lose.
- 34:02You got a home game against Washington and then you go to Carolina.
- 34:06Those should be two wins.
- 34:07If they lose one of those games, I'm down on the bangles for the rest of the season.
- 34:12I know it's early and things can change.
- 34:14Yeah.
- 34:15But those two games I think are those games that the bounce back games they need.
- 34:18But if you're one in three, it's super unlikely you're going to do enough to make the playoffs
- 34:22by then.
- 34:23You're especially in a tough division like that.
- 34:24Do you think the bangles will lose the next two games?
- 34:27Which game would they lose?
- 34:28Washington.
- 34:29Why?
- 34:30What did Jane Daniels do?
- 34:31Hey, this could be his coming out party now.
- 34:33You never know.
- 34:34You never know.
- 34:35Washington's on two as well, aren't they?
- 34:36Yeah.
- 34:37No, they're one and one.
- 34:38No, they won on seven field goals.
- 34:40Yeah, correct.
- 34:42Which is disgusting.
- 34:43That is absolutely disgusting.
- 34:44But again, as we are saying, a win is a win.
- 34:48Hey, a win's a win though.
- 34:49Your offense is getting you close enough that you can at least get points.
- 34:52So I don't know.
- 34:53The bangles Monday night, the bangles truly should take their, put their, their hat on
- 34:59and be like, you know, we actually competed with the chiefs the season ain't over.
- 35:03Yeah.
- 35:04And I think they can ride off that.
- 35:05We saw that when they played the Rams in the Super Bowl.
- 35:08They're, they're, they're not done yet, especially with the receivers that they have.
- 35:12They will win these two games, but they have to.
- 35:15They will.
- 35:16There's much wins already for them.
- 35:18They get T Higgins back here shortly.
- 35:20But I think one of the biggest is they don't have Joe mix it anymore.
- 35:25They don't have a rush.
- 35:26Yeah.
- 35:27That was huge.
- 35:28They don't.
- 35:29I think that if that's where you're, where they're lacking, that's where the, I think
- 35:32they are.
- 35:33They're pretty heavy.
- 35:34I think as a team, they only rushed for like 74 rushing hours.
- 35:36I was trying to get back to it.
- 35:38Zach Moss ran for 34 and Chase Brown ran for 31, but only out for attempts.
- 35:42So why not feed Chase Brown, but you, you keep Zach Moss kind of going as a bat.
- 35:46Yeah.
- 35:4712 for 34.
- 35:48He's younger, right?
- 35:49I don't know.
- 35:50He's an Illinois, I think you are.
- 35:52Correct.
- 35:53You're doing your research.
- 35:54No, it was just big 10 football.
- 35:55That's pretty much big 10 and SEC.
- 35:57I know.
- 35:58ACC.
- 35:59Don't even ask me.
- 36:00I don't even.
- 36:01Um, but yeah, cool.
- 36:02I want to wrap that.
- 36:03We got to keep it going.
- 36:04So this week, uh, Jake, I know you're watching, um, did pull up the caboose at one in four
- 36:10on the week, but he will be back this season to redeem himself.
- 36:13And he did give me his picks for this week as well as we're going to keep track of all
- 36:16of our guest picks throughout the season.
- 36:18I just think it'll be fun and just see where we all stack up.
- 36:22Um, next up would be Rob and Matt both went two and three on the week.
- 36:26Um, Matt's real salty about the bangles chiefs.
- 36:30And then, uh, your boy, your boy went three and two, but I'll take it.
- 36:35What was that?
- 36:36It wins a win.
- 36:37What was that?
- 36:38What was the main game that you had different than us?
- 36:40The main game that I had different than you.
- 36:43Um, I don't know.
- 36:46You didn't pick bikes.
- 36:47I was a big out for you.
- 36:48That was the one that was the one.
- 36:49Yeah.
- 36:50That was the big out for you.
- 36:51That was the difference.
- 36:52I should have went bills, but anyway, moving on, moving on on the season now, uh, Rob and
- 36:56I are tied for the lead at six and four, uh, Jake drops to four and six and Matt, unfortunately,
- 37:01did not have his week one predictions.
- 37:03So for all we know, he went five and O, but on paper here, he did not.
- 37:07So on the season right now, Matt's two and three.
- 37:09We'll just double out your four and six.
- 37:11Tyler, you've only won two games.
- 37:13That was two games last week.
- 37:14Uh-oh.
- 37:15That is not, that is not three and two.
- 37:17Wow.
- 37:18I did miss a, I'm two and three.
- 37:23You're two and three.
- 37:24Get back.
- 37:25See Rob, we're on the club also.
- 37:27He's leading.
- 37:28Whoa.
- 37:29I didn't even see that good thing.
- 37:30I, uh, succeeded at math in high school.
- 37:33Um, so Rob is leading at six and four and I'm actually what five and five right now.
- 37:39That's what it is.
- 37:40So snap.
- 37:41Good catch.
- 37:42One.
- 37:43I gotta, I gotta make sure that everything's followed the rules are.
- 37:45Yeah.
- 37:46I'm looking at, yeah.
- 37:47Wow.
- 37:48Rob's leading right now at six and four, six and four with that we're going to move
- 37:52on from that.
- 37:53Go right into tent talk.
- 37:56All right.
- 37:59Then right away to start off the tent talk.
- 38:02Excuse me.
- 38:03We're going to go right into the injuries.
- 38:06First off, CMC actually now to IR officially eyeing up a week, six return.
- 38:12Mason still rushed for a hundred yards, but he's electric.
- 38:15He need him out there.
- 38:17Uh, Justin Herbert actually was negative.
- 38:18He got rolled up on.
- 38:19They were worried about maybe, um, more than like a high ankle sprain or something crazy.
- 38:24He's looking good.
- 38:25He's questionable coming into this week.
- 38:27We'll see.
- 38:28Uh, Jay Jedis of the Vikings, Justin Jefferson for those who don't know Jedis like we do.
- 38:33Yeah.
- 38:34Um, my best friend, he should be good for week three.
- 38:36He had a little quad problem dead leg.
- 38:38That would have, yeah, it took a knee right into the, yeah.
- 38:41Okay.
- 38:42All right.
- 38:43He said he should be good for week three himself.
- 38:45So we'll see.
- 38:47Uh, Pacheco, I believe we'll be hitting IR if he's not already broken.
- 38:52Fabula is that what it was?
- 38:54Yeah.
- 38:55No, just not good.
- 38:56Eight weeks.
- 38:57It looked like that's not good.
- 38:58Not only are you missing a guy that's good at rushing obviously, but, um, also an electric
- 39:03player, but you're missing a guy who's good for the sideline.
- 39:05Like his energy is just infectious in a positive way.
- 39:09Goodbye.
- 39:10So yeah.
- 39:11So there just not suited up, which will still feel weird.
- 39:14So does that mean that's the return of Clyde Edwards there?
- 39:17Or is that he's heard?
- 39:18He still hurts.
- 39:19So it's Sam.
- 39:20So the P I can think of his last name, uh, he was with a bangles.
- 39:26Oh, a Samaj P.
- 39:29Right.
- 39:30Yes.
- 39:31Yeah.
- 39:32Yeah.
- 39:33So he's starting right now.
- 39:34Hard name to say.
- 39:35And then a hunt.
- 39:36I don't know.
- 39:37Yeah.
- 39:38Who man?
- 39:39Yeah.
- 39:40So how long is that going to take for him to adjust to that Kansas city offense?
- 39:43Or is it still relevant enough for him to make a viable like comeback?
- 39:46I don't know if he'll have any touches this week, but he will next week.
- 39:50Yeah.
- 39:51To me, I think I don't know if he's going to be on the roster this week, but you know,
- 39:54but I'm assuming that same verbiage, same concept.
- 39:56He's been in the Nandy read offense before.
- 39:58So, you know, but it's, it's whether he's in football shape is my biggest concern.
- 40:02Yeah.
- 40:03You know, Jamar Chase or a Brandon I you not being in football shape.
- 40:07I mean, it's shown.
- 40:08Yeah.
- 40:09I mean, I don't know.
- 40:10I mean, I'm not going to be worried at all about Kansas city having to win games or anything
- 40:13like that.
- 40:14I don't, I don't think so.
- 40:16Correct.
- 40:17So there's that.
- 40:20Jermaine Johnson and for the Jets, tears is Achilles.
- 40:24Redick is still a no show at the moment unless that's changed today and anybody else has
- 40:28heard.
- 40:29But I'm hopefully got carted off too.
- 40:30Yeah.
- 40:31The other linebacker.
- 40:32So it's just not good for a Jets defense that already hasn't looked good this year to
- 40:35start the season.
- 40:36They haven't really now you're losing your key pieces to that defense.
- 40:39It's supposed to be top five.
- 40:41Not looking good for the Jets.
- 40:43No, I know.
- 40:44I look good for the Jets.
- 40:45Yeah.
- 40:46That hurts when you start losing players, you know, I mean, injuries hurt and I mean,
- 40:51a Santa fell.
- 40:52Yeah.
- 40:53Everyone gets hurt at some point.
- 40:54Also the definition of injury, right?
- 40:55Yeah.
- 40:56I mean, I'm just kidding.
- 40:57That's a good job.
- 40:58There you go.
- 40:59Thanks.
- 41:00I got one back.
- 41:01All right.
- 41:02Yeah.
- 41:03Woo.
- 41:04All right.
- 41:05AJ Brown also expected to miss a couple of weeks.
- 41:06That hurts a little bit.
- 41:08He also missed this week if I did.
- 41:10Yeah.
- 41:11So not like it showed friend that feel his offense that 100% they miss him a ton for
- 41:16sure.
- 41:17Just another guy to draw coverage.
- 41:18If he's not getting the ball, he's still drawing coverage to him.
- 41:20You know, it all, it all matters.
- 41:22We need to teach at Hockinson.
- 41:24Debo out a couple of weeks with the little calf injury.
- 41:28Yeah.
- 41:29That sucks.
- 41:31Him and CMC like without one or the other, you can still get by not being in shape.
- 41:36You need them.
- 41:37Yeah.
- 41:38You know, it's, you know, kid will look good.
- 41:40He'll look fine.
- 41:41You know, good for, I think there'll still be a threat and you, you don't, you don't
- 41:47take anything off.
- 41:48They're one of the top NFC team.
- 41:49Correct.
- 41:50You know, no matter what for me, their defense can carry them.
- 41:52They've worn red Warner.
- 41:53I'm gonna put them on the team on his back right there.
- 41:57Yeah.
- 41:58Oh yeah.
- 41:59No doubt.
- 42:00No doubt.
- 42:01Let's see.
- 42:02Cooper cup.
- 42:03Did he go to IR for sure?
- 42:04I think, but anyway, he's got ankle issue.
- 42:05I don't think they officially ironed him yet, but I, the word on the street is that's
- 42:10where he's going.
- 42:11Yeah.
- 42:12Yeah.
- 42:13What a hit for the Rams though.
- 42:14I mean, Puka's out the week.
- 42:15Yeah.
- 42:16Cup takes a hit.
- 42:17Cup spin.
- 42:18Come out, get smacked by the Cardinals.
- 42:20And then you, and then so he's a team.
- 42:22Cup spin like this the last couple of years now though.
- 42:24Correct.
- 42:25But then you gotta stay healthy.
- 42:26Yeah.
- 42:27You can't stay on the field.
- 42:28Now the boy Tyler Johnson.
- 42:29Tyler Johnson's just gonna, just he's gonna carry it.
- 42:31Getting the spell.
- 42:32The words right out of your mouth.
- 42:34But yeah.
- 42:35Yeah.
- 42:36DeForest Buckner for the Colts to IR as well.
- 42:38Another loss to a team that can't be losing any pieces right now as they look to bounce
- 42:42back.
- 42:43Now to a, to IR, this is a little bit interesting.
- 42:49He's not retiring.
- 42:50He's already came out and said, I'm not retiring.
- 42:52At what point though, should you consider it?
- 42:55Right now.
- 42:56If you're to a, even though he said it right now, right now, right now, and you have kids,
- 43:00right?
- 43:01I got kids.
- 43:02If you want to be able to function, take care of them, even recognize them at this point
- 43:12now, how many shots he's taken to the head?
- 43:14Like, dude, you need to walk away.
- 43:16You're already set for life.
- 43:18Which is true financially.
- 43:19If he's taking care of his money.
- 43:20But he's already got that injury guarantee in his contract.
- 43:23Like, dude, just walk away.
- 43:25What are you playing for now right now?
- 43:26Love of the game.
- 43:27Love of the game.
- 43:28Love of the game.
- 43:29Super Bowl.
- 43:30Maybe.
- 43:31Yeah, I think he's going to be able to play football.
- 43:33Maybe he'd call it then.
- 43:34How much does the love of the game overtake a love of your family though?
- 43:36Or the rest of your life.
- 43:37Or the rest of your life.
- 43:38Like, you're not going to be able to play football your entire life.
- 43:41Like, it's a tough call.
- 43:42Maybe right now is the time.
- 43:44It's a tough call.
- 43:45And who are we to say, you know, about NFL players?
- 43:47It's 100% his call.
- 43:49We could say whatever we want.
- 43:50But, and maybe that's, I wonder if that's what his wife and his family's told him.
- 43:54Like, it's your call.
- 43:55If you want to call it a quits or not, but, but I think, I know you don't want to say
- 43:59that you want to force him to, but like, you got to kind of put the pressure on him.
- 44:05Like, if you're his family, like, dude, we want you around.
- 44:09Like not just, not just physically, but mentally.
- 44:12Sure.
- 44:13Like we want you around.
- 44:15Sure.
- 44:16Sure.
- 44:17And that was a really interesting play.
- 44:18He was diving for the first down.
- 44:19Do you see who hit him?
- 44:20I didn't see who hit him.
- 44:21Yeah.
- 44:22Damar Hamlin.
- 44:23Damar Hamlin for the bills.
- 44:24Who, you know, not funny, but it is ironic.
- 44:26It's ironic.
- 44:27Yeah.
- 44:28But the same thing happened to him last year, lead with his head, if I need to be silent,
- 44:33he did.
- 44:34Yeah.
- 44:35He had the first down already.
- 44:36Let's feel the awareness.
- 44:37But he was trying to make a play.
- 44:38He can't blame a guy for me trying to make a play.
- 44:39No.
- 44:40Players play, man.
- 44:41And you can't take it out of them.
- 44:44So that's why he's coming back.
- 44:47Getting to a little bit of news, uh, Bryce Young, probably the biggest news.
- 44:51Getting benched in favor of Andy Dalton.
- 44:54Crazy.
- 44:55I think he should have been on the bench his entire rookie year. I agree. Yeah
- 45:00Not starting not started sure he did not have the pieces involved to have a successful season
- 45:07Do we say they set him up for failure?
- 45:10Do you think Bryce young can still be a quarterback and then a fell a starting quarterback and then not a starting quarterback?
- 45:15I don't think so. There's no he's just on the road of his I think he could be coming in Nick Foles
- 45:21I think he could be maybe a decent running back. Oh
- 45:24Oh
- 45:27Wow
- 45:29Bryce young and a running back. Yeah, I'm more wondering. He's still an athlete. You're still not an athlete
- 45:34All right, but this rune him benching him does this room? No, no
- 45:39Yes, he's got to go to a different he's got to get out of here man a trade if you're brice. No right now
- 45:44No, no, he's got what two years left. I think so including this year. Yeah, I think you got to chill
- 45:49learn whatever you can whatever Andy Tom's gonna give you and
- 45:54Then move on at that point see who's gonna take a shot that might need a quarterback
- 45:58That might be looking for a veteran, but at least some new a new face true
- 46:03They're building and I think the locker could be the Jake the locker room needed something changed in that in that Panthers
- 46:08You know with a dollar 80 for tickets getting sold last week in the whole stadium. There's already burned
- 46:14The
- 46:17Like that so like I think the Andy Dalton move was good, but
- 46:22It's really tough that I think he's probably gonna be I'd be a demand a trade if I was him if I'm not starting
- 46:28You know, can you do that as a second-year player really? Yes? I can a second year
- 46:34Was he first round or first overall? Yes. Yeah
- 46:39Can you can you really demand a trade like?
- 46:41Crap in the bed this early in your career
- 46:46Or they just like dude just go sit down the bench like we told you
- 46:50Well, I might might not which is bogus, but yeah, we should do with him is this now that they have Andy Dalton
- 46:56Which is it's a veteran move just let Bryce sit for a year. Let him learn bring him back around
- 47:02It's like hey, there's potential. We're just gonna take the L
- 47:05We're gonna bring in some pieces to help you out kind of like what they did with Caleb Williams at the Bears
- 47:10They brought in a bunch of pieces granted. It's not helping
- 47:13brought in the wrong pieces
- 47:15I think I know let's not let's just not toss it out the window with Bryce young
- 47:20There's still time with him and Caroline is just kind of a
- 47:25Organization yeah, I mean that's back to the main point. I think is it more of the organization
- 47:30This is seven hundred percent look at their owner that you know a the ownership and that they've been struggling
- 47:35They built up the offensive line this year to help protect him that they still lacking some speed and running outside
- 47:42They have Brooks the rookie injured injured right now, but they drafted him thinking then he's gonna be somebody
- 47:48They didn't always think it injured. You know, even I think he's probably injured in college
- 47:52He what he came out of his he came out of the senior year of college with that ACL injury
- 47:57They're waiting to bring him in
- 47:59But you know, they're not they're not winning games right now. It is what it is just give him the time to rest
- 48:06There's no point pushing him and having that experience just get him to learn follow behind Andy Dalton
- 48:12Who's actually had some success in Cincinnati. So what they should have done last with what?
- 48:17What the Vikings are doing with Sam Darnold and JJ McCarthy? Well, there's those rumors going around but Sam Darnold's
- 48:23Certain week one no matter what he was played. He's not be starting right now. Yeah. So yeah, no hundred percent any who
- 48:30Another quarterback that we didn't really touch on last week that we should have Dak Prescott signing that brand new deal for years
- 48:37240 million dollars
- 48:40Tom change
- 48:42What do you do with that 240?
- 48:44I don't know. I don't know
- 48:47Options are endless, but other than buying Jerry Jones. Yeah, that's more than that. But
- 48:51Is that something that Dallas had to do knowing that
- 48:55Your head coach is on is the last year of his deal. You might go in a new direction there for all you know
- 49:00Didn't look good this week, but again, he signed the contract before this week. So take that out of the equation
- 49:06It was Dak worth that money again not thinking about the Dallas Saints game this week, right? But going forward
- 49:13He hasn't won yet playoff game
- 49:15So what do you do? What's your other option? And if you say no well, I mean they what the show is
- 49:20I mean, they what they should have done is at least had
- 49:23Some sort of viable backup
- 49:25Three lands. No, not an option
- 49:29And I like tree lands, but I'm not saying not to sign it. No, they should have at least drafted someone earlier
- 49:36Like say what Green Bay did with Jordan loves Adam for a while. They did with Aaron Rodgers
- 49:40And that's the hard part with that press cut as he's done enough in the regular season to keep getting that he just
- 49:46over and how
- 49:48How much can you reward?
- 49:51quote-unquote failure
- 49:53Has he really failed?
- 49:55I mean, but it's like poker chipping a chair. You're still in it. Yeah
- 50:00They won games, but but it can't win it when it matters the most
- 50:04I agree with that and they're drafting then the late 20s and there's what most
- 50:08drafts maybe he wasn't there at the same end
- 50:12Touchdowns for four picks right now. Yeah, so
- 50:14That's a top balance and then trying to find that guy
- 50:17Yeah, but like yeah, maybe this year's draft next year's draft isn't the draft to do it
- 50:21Well, there's maybe a quarterbacks this year or not the next year or not that great. That's not the probably not the year to do it
- 50:27So you sign him to a four-year deal, but at some point they got to at some point if that doesn't get you through those two years
- 50:35I agree. It's time to move on
- 50:37Because if he didn't get signed how much would he have made in free agency?
- 50:41That would have probably been the biggest correct. I mean he's already the highest paid
- 50:46I yeah, but imagine as a free agent correct. That would have been a bidding war
- 50:49It would have been a bit in between who but yet right now, but it would have been a bidding war
- 50:54It's interesting thought I would be curious how he would do on a different team
- 50:58Yeah, but
- 50:59Good for him. There's that regulations that yeah, we need to make your money
- 51:03He got his money. He got his money and he gets to stay where he's living right now
- 51:06Tyler Huntley we already mentioned him so that really wraps up our news for the week and we'll just head right into bonehead move of the week
- 51:21And for week three bonehead move of the week technically it's for week two, but this is our week three episode
- 51:29It's actually a pack or player
- 51:31Oh, I'm excited now. I'm super excited to hear this. So Malik Willis comes off the field and Matt LaFour's kind of
- 51:39Upset with them. He's like dude. Why didn't you throw the ball right there?
- 51:42And he's like I couldn't because Josh Josh Myers is the Packer Center
- 51:47Threw up right on top of the ball. Oh
- 51:50The ball right before he snapped the ball now. I'll give Josh a little bit of credit
- 51:55He's on a complete bonehead if he's sick or something still out there playing good for you homie
- 51:59Yeah, like, you know what I mean? And it was literally right before he snapped and if you move your head to do it over here
- 52:04It's probably false start right so he did what he had to do discipline discipline. Oh my god
- 52:10I like if I get the ball and it's you could see Malik
- 52:14He got the ball and then kind of like looked at it real quick as he's trying to look at the receivers and wipe his hand off
- 52:19And then decide to keep that's where we need the graphic right there that replay of that
- 52:23There was a there was a comment in the floor is press conference where it was like the officials like
- 52:31Yeah, I saw him throw up. Do you want me to stop play next time? He's like, yes
- 52:35Yeah, what is the ruling on that guy man? I wonder what that would be Kenny you can wipe off the ball
- 52:41I would imagine I mean there was there's
- 52:44High school time out there's a high school game like three years ago or it was I think it was Hamilton high school against whatever
- 52:49They were down 21 points with the minute left in the game the quarterback specifically threw up in the ball himself
- 52:55They came back and won that game under a minute and scored three touchdowns
- 52:58But they didn't stop the game sounds like you can throw up on the ball
- 53:02equipment timeout now we know maybe
- 53:04Now we know I mean that's the only thing I can come up on
- 53:07Now we know I don't think I would use it as an advantage. I don't think there is an advantage
- 53:12No, probably not but um, yeah, now we know yeah, cool bonehead move relation
- 53:17Josh my hairs good on the Packers
- 53:27And to start off
- 53:30Week it says week five. Wow. Why did I put that in? Oh next week's five games late?
- 53:34I just can't read or do math tonight. I guess so anyway, let's just start it off
- 53:37Was that any different than any other normal day? Well, well, he does not know me personally
- 53:43So, yeah first game Texans at the Minnesota Vikings
- 53:49Matt, why don't you take us away?
- 53:51We're doing by the way he brought his chain to knock on wood
- 53:55He's supposed to wear it. I forgot to bring it up. I wasn't gonna wear it the whole time
- 53:58But this is automated. This is the chain automated. Where I got it from home
- 54:04Why do you sound so sad saying that I got it from home because I made it
- 54:08Rather when you never know where you're watching the game people like to talk about the Vikings
- 54:13Or someone's gonna do this someone's gonna do that
- 54:16Drives me nuts. So here's the chain. It's a piece of trim. There's some bite marks in it if you can try them
- 54:23Where the are the bite marks from your dog my own mouth
- 54:32The thing has seen some years I love it I wear it
- 54:35All right, I wear it every game. I also wear a purple Viking to a game 100%
- 54:41Oh, yeah, nice. I want to see that and I wear a sock on my right foot because our kicker is right footed
- 54:45So it's just there's some energy there. Hopefully any who we don't need to go on how crazy
- 54:50On Sunday morning, he did have a Viking sock on my right foot only and it was at like 9 a.m. Any who
- 54:56We go into this Viking sex in game. I think the Vikings the Vikings take it
- 55:02I
- 55:05Whether it me being a Vikings fan or just superstitious and not putting energy out there
- 55:11That last Texans game. I just I felt like they played they played okay
- 55:17I don't think it scared me as much as the four deniers did going in here into week two
- 55:21Joe mixing kind of concerns me tank Dell and then digs coming to play against his old team
- 55:27You never know what what's gonna happen
- 55:29Especially after comments that was made in the offseason about kind of how the Vikings did them dirty or whatnot
- 55:34CJ Strouds in his sophomore year. You never know what you're gonna get out of a sophomore year quarterback
- 55:39He hasn't done anything that concerns me that aspect of it. Yeah, but when we when we break it down with Florida's defense
- 55:46Sam Donald being the top-ten quarterback and I'm gonna sit on that
- 55:50Aaron Jones actually playing pretty well minus the fumble on the end zone
- 55:53Nailer coming out JJ coming out. I just I don't I don't see the Texans taking us in that so
- 56:00Skull Vikings. Let's go
- 56:02Anything close game blowout. How are you feeling?
- 56:0610 points 10 points. So that's blow it and I fell almost 10 points. Yeah, so
- 56:12Alright, so this is the good one and let's go
- 56:17Say kind of the same thing you were saying the Texans like they didn't look
- 56:21As good as you thought they would be CJ Stroud sophomore quarterback
- 56:25I think this is a big testing game for him
- 56:28Sure, especially considering what the Vikings did against the 49ers Brian for his defense like what can he do digs coming back?
- 56:37To play against the Vikings. I think the Texans are gonna do it just to have
- 56:42You know see what they can prove
- 56:45I
- 56:47Mean it's gonna be a close game. I think it's gonna be decided by field goal. Okay a close one for the good side purple
- 56:53Yeah, no, it's gonna be a Texan
- 56:58Unbelievable Rob, I'm going Vikings. Yeah, you are on. Yeah, you are. I think if Joe mixing being banged up is gonna be the difference maker
- 57:06In Flores is mixing up the offense
- 57:11Texans had they played the Bears defense Bears got a good defense. So they do. Yeah, I'm not
- 57:16I'm not fully saying that it just looked all right. That's the best thing I think about the Bears is their defense
- 57:22So it'll be right. Nico Collins is the one guy. He's their best receiver by far
- 57:27Tank they'll actually struggled last week. He drops
- 57:31Diggs bounce back tank about digs is that nice little middle?
- 57:34He's like almost there tight end because they're barely even thrown into Ferguson. I believe is there not
- 57:39But the Texas defense
- 57:46They're legit to you know, they brought five people against Caleb Williams all last week blitz
- 57:5347% of the time. So we'll see if they come after Sam Donald Donald like that
- 57:58And but I think the Vikings just submit a defensively will confuse CJ Stroud enough
- 58:05To to make the difference, but I think it's gonna be down to the end. It's gonna be a really close game
- 58:14Yeah, bikes aren't losing
- 58:17The bikes are up to their bikes are two and all
- 58:20At home that place is gonna be rocking. It's not gonna happen. Let me knock on. Thank you. I appreciate that
- 58:26Does anyone else fire up? Yeah, give me a little he might need it, but that might a actually good call good call
- 58:39But hey whoa, no way no way the bikes are losing at home now if they do that sucks for me
- 58:45But I'm fairly confident that just not gonna happen. It's gonna be rocking. It's gonna be a hard place for CJ to play this week
- 58:50I agree. I did be very hard to hear anything
- 58:53Packers Titans
- 58:56So I think this is gonna be a winnable game for Green Bay
- 59:00The Titans, you know, don't have Derek Henry. That was a big part of their offense, you know 20 Pollard. Mm-hmm
- 59:06I mean, you know
- 59:09They got will levis at quarterback. They do I mean that is still he could almost be the bonehead of the week every week
- 59:14The way he's been
- 59:16Yeah, that's where you were going with it, but I think though Malik's gonna look a lot more comfortable
- 59:23You know get they're probably gonna run a few more. I don't want to say difficult plays but
- 59:29More concepts than what he was running last week
- 59:33Just getting him back into the flow of the game Jacobs is gonna look good again. I think
- 59:38So I think Green Bay is gonna win by 10
- 59:42Okay, Matt. Oh
- 59:44I'm going now. Yes. I
- 59:48Okay, so I mean I picked against the Packers last week thinking that they would lose to the Colts
- 59:54But
- 59:56They're losing again. Let's go at a buck Packers are losing
- 1:00:00Backers are losing Malik will us
- 1:00:03Former Titan, maybe they know what they got revenge game. Maybe it might be Mike Rables not there
- 1:00:09I just I just put you to shame. I am a
- 1:00:12Bias I'm a bias Vikings fan. I hope the Packers lose every week. Will they win? Maybe
- 1:00:20Josh Jacobs if they run them 40 times again, can we stop him? I don't know
- 1:00:25But maybe we'll let us will show out. Maybe Deandre Hopkins will catch up all Tony Pollard will run for 150 yards
- 1:00:34Anything can happen. No skull Vikings Packers lose go Titans
- 1:00:40Whoa, yeah, whatever that was a mouthful. Yeah, school bikes, of course
- 1:00:46But the Packers will win this game the Packers defense is gonna be too much for the Titans
- 1:00:50They they do not have anything going on for them at all offensively right now. I Pollard's a nice piece
- 1:00:55But I like spears too. He's heard now. Is he right now? Okay. Well
- 1:01:02Taji join the pot buddy, but uh, yeah time. Yeah, yeah, but no, it's Packers all day for me in this one
- 1:01:08That's not even not even question
- 1:01:11More than 10. Oh, you're thinking blow up more than 10. I think so. I think you want to give a final score prediction
- 1:01:18Yeah, let's hear it
- 1:01:2024 10
- 1:01:22I can get behind that Titans only scored 10. I'm going to get my home. Let's go
- 1:01:28I
- 1:01:30Think I heard last week's tape
- 1:01:32I think the Titans have to just bring everything they have on defense and just make Willis
- 1:01:37You know be the show and not let Jacobs, you know run for over a hundred some yards
- 1:01:43I think that's the matchup is the two defenses which defense is gonna play with help mistakes
- 1:01:49Calvin Ridley still, you know, he's probably there. They're in the threat. He had a great catch last week, you know
- 1:01:54But it's all this will love us. I think is the key factor to this game if he
- 1:01:59We have three how many interceptions, but he just honey
- 1:02:02Just bonehead plays that his coach got caught on camera going
- 1:02:11So it's been a I must I just think that it's gonna be a sloppy low scoring game
- 1:02:17That's gonna be like 16 to 13 and I'm taking the Titans. Let's go taking the Titans
- 1:02:24Alright, well that gives us to gets us to weak. I'm sorry cheese gets us to game three
- 1:02:29Baltimore traveling to Dallas
- 1:02:33Rob, I'm gonna let you start with that one. Well, it's really interesting the Ravens are starting off 0-1 to
- 1:02:38Which probably nobody really thought that they're there and then they have a really tough schedule moving forward to it
- 1:02:43You want to know whose favorite it?
- 1:02:46for Vegas yeah
- 1:02:48Cowboys Baltimore by one point
- 1:02:52And it's in Dallas too
- 1:02:54And but it's really actually the Dallas team that you know showed out week one and then they come up and play against the Saints who
- 1:03:01Starting games off just hot. We'll talk about the Saints a little bit later
- 1:03:05Yeah, but I'm gonna go I think the Cowboys are gonna come out in a little revenge game like that
- 1:03:11I think they got embarrassed last week
- 1:03:12I think Mike a person and that defense he kind of called them out on his podcast earlier that it was all about attitude
- 1:03:19And I think that it's gonna be a different Cowboys team this week
- 1:03:22They're not gonna get
- 1:03:25Horribly, you know displayed like they did last week against a division rival
- 1:03:31Well, actually they're not a division rival the Saints. So
- 1:03:34Yeah, yeah, okay. Sorry. I was blanking out for their first thing. Yeah, yep
- 1:03:38I'm gonna go now actually I'm gonna go Ravens. I think it's time for the Ravens to get their first win of the season
- 1:03:46It's always hard to contain Lamar Jackson except this year
- 1:03:50It's right, but at some point it's gonna change for the Ravens
- 1:03:54I still believe they're one of the better teams in the AFC
- 1:03:58And it's got to start somewhere. It's got to start somewhere picked all home teams
- 1:04:02So this is just like a personal like can't do it
- 1:04:05Yeah, you know my guts telling me Dallas, but my brain's like nope Ravens are gonna do it
- 1:04:09So I'm going Ravens because we talked about with Jacob only is here
- 1:04:13They have three news starting offense alignment
- 1:04:15And that's actually been one of their things that's failed and then with Derek Henry and the shotgun
- 1:04:20He doesn't get that running start and he's he's been okay, but they hasn't been like King Henry like you have before
- 1:04:27You know yeah, and say flowers side like I don't feel like there's a receiver
- 1:04:32They have that is a threat like I don't think they have a bunch of number two receivers. Yeah, great
- 1:04:37And I think we looked great. Yeah week one. What do you do?
- 1:04:40That's it right, right?
- 1:04:42Even has a couple catches here in there as they flowers same thing runs great routes
- 1:04:46I just don't think a defense scared of them. I don't think they're scared of anybody
- 1:04:52So yeah, so sorry about that. It's got to flip at some points got to flip at some point Matt
- 1:04:57You know, it's it's kind of hard for me after losing to a Raiders team like that
- 1:05:04But with the game that they put out against the Chiefs how you can't you can't take him out of it
- 1:05:09Yes, the Cowboys beat a kind of crummy Browns team, but you know tough defense beat
- 1:05:19Browns defense sure
- 1:05:22But then but then they go ahead and lose the Cowboys go ahead and lose their next game
- 1:05:26I think the Ravens take their first win. I truly do. I think Mike Zimmer's defense has some holes in it
- 1:05:32Just because again as a Vikings fan Mike Zimmer can go pound sand
- 1:05:36You just want to hate the hate to hate the Marjax and ran for one twenty two week one forty six week two
- 1:05:44He's still running threat. Do I think?
- 1:05:48Do I think the Cowboys can contain him with Eric Kendricks and and Micah Parsons and digs and whatnot?
- 1:05:56potentially
- 1:05:58But
- 1:05:59Go Ravens. I mean I want to go back. I always can go. You say the Ravens are the most
- 1:06:05Underrated 0-1 2 team
- 1:06:09minus yes, we have the what the Bengals the Raiden the Ravens the
- 1:06:14Jaguars
- 1:06:17I think the Bengals and the Ravens would probably be the dream of the crop of those
- 1:06:21Yeah, and I think the Ravens are better than the Bengals. So I think the Ravens get their win
- 1:06:24I think they finally have a chance to run Derek Henry a little bit more
- 1:06:29Let's go and I think they got it. Okay, oh fire up. Nope
- 1:06:32I
- 1:06:34Also got the Ravens
- 1:06:36Oh, I think man out here. I think this is gonna be again one of those testing games, you know Ravens are on to
- 1:06:45Where do you turn it around in your season? There's like you had said earlier. They got a tough schedule ahead
- 1:06:51Yeah, kind of the rest of the rest of the beginning of the season like I think that the jet
- 1:06:57You can't let games slip away
- 1:06:59You need to go out and dominate
- 1:07:02You can't try to say oh, we're gonna make it a close game. We're gonna make sure we're in this game
- 1:07:07Like no, you're gonna go out and blow out your opponent
- 1:07:10They need a hot start is really hot start Derek Henry to get to being the Derek Henry
- 1:07:15He is for sure and I think you had mentioned it too like running out of the shotgun not getting that running start
- 1:07:21I think the Ravens need to find a way to work that more in the offense but not make it obvious like oh, yeah
- 1:07:27We're running Derek Henry because there's that right now you go under certain out. So you need to start it being able to figure out different concepts
- 1:07:34You can run out of that as well a little more under center Lamar
- 1:07:38Not necessarily always under center, but something always something to give Henry's a more starting. I got you starting get
- 1:07:47More yards to get more yards get going. Yeah, just going quick the next three games is Dallas Buffalo Cincinnati
- 1:07:53In Dallas at home Buffalo in Cincinnati. That's a proving slate. That it's a proving slate
- 1:07:59It is
- 1:08:01If you want to go after that, I think Jacob mentioned in that last episode
- 1:08:05Well, there's you can get a cup if you go two and three. I'm sorry two and one in those games at least and it gets easier from there
- 1:08:12True. Yeah, I think for the Ravens to have more confidence
- 1:08:16Obviously to have more confidence, but just to be faithful in those next two games. They need to win here. Hmm
- 1:08:22Yeah, and this might define their season really
- 1:08:27And then we end up going to Buffalo and the Buffalo staying hot. I mean if you go over for
- 1:08:33Yeah, not gonna happen though. They're gonna beat the Cowboys. All right. There we go. They're back in it
- 1:08:38They go back in it back in it bears traveling to Indianapolis this week
- 1:08:44I'm
- 1:08:46I'll start this one off as you can already tell I'm thinking
- 1:08:49Nervous, he's nervous. I think that I think the Colts offense is just not scary enough for me
- 1:08:57To be concerned. So I got to go bears even with the play of Caleb Williams, which was bad
- 1:09:03I mean, so those last two picks were just so bad. It's not even funny
- 1:09:07He's got a week to correct it. He's still the number on overall pick so far right now. So I
- 1:09:12Think he's I think he's gonna bounce back a little bit this week grow a little bit
- 1:09:16But again, the Colts just aren't doing anything that scares me too much and defensively. They just lost to force Buckner
- 1:09:21That's a big loss big loss. So I just I got bears. I got bears here
- 1:09:26Rob, let's go back to you. I'll fire off here. I'm gonna actually go the bears that way
- 1:09:32It's at any to Andy right now. Indy's favored by one. So actually I'm a flip it
- 1:09:37I actually know what I'm gonna go with bear still just because I think that last week that he's get Caleb Williams got a little better
- 1:09:43I think at that the line of scrimmage
- 1:09:45I'm understanding the concept of what they're trying to do against him a little bit more even though
- 1:09:50You know the Texans brought so much heat at him
- 1:09:52I don't think that the Colts have that firepower that the Texans to bring that heat and still cover on the backside
- 1:09:58So I think the bears will establish
- 1:10:02Against the Colts and they're gonna take it. It's gonna be a tight one, you know, it'll be either way
- 1:10:06But I'm just gonna go with the bears. All right, all right good as much as I hate to say this
- 1:10:12I'm also going with the bears. Oh snap. Oh look at that true
- 1:10:18Mark that down all you better hear this
- 1:10:21Defense, I think it's just gonna be too much for the Colts
- 1:10:25I mean Anthony Richardson didn't look that great against Green Bay this week
- 1:10:30So going against that bears defense. I think he's just gonna be even worse
- 1:10:34We should have a bear's defense better in the Packers defense. Oh
- 1:10:38Yes, that's tough
- 1:10:40Yes, as a Packer fan, I want to hear the Homer come on you. I mean yes, but I think Green Bay
- 1:10:49Is still growing on defense
- 1:10:51Okay, so I
- 1:10:53Think it'll come over the season. Is it week one that scares you why they are not as good versus week two
- 1:10:59I
- 1:11:00Don't know if I can really say week two is better just because of who we played
- 1:11:05Okay, you think the competition was lower. I think the competition was lower, but I think it's gonna give them confidence going forward
- 1:11:11Okay, so I'm excited to see where it goes
- 1:11:15But I think the bears their defenses are just gonna be too much for them Jonathan Taylor is gonna do his best, but
- 1:11:23I'm gonna have a hot take here and say the Bears defense still scores more points than their offense. Oh, I like it
- 1:11:29Interesting put that in Vegas
- 1:11:32Alright
- 1:11:34This one's hard for me
- 1:11:36The line is at one. It is at one. It's it's it's it's a coin flip game
- 1:11:43I
- 1:11:44Think the Bears defense is really good. I truly think that there's something to mess around with I just don't think their offense is
- 1:11:52That good. I think they have no weapons. I just don't think that Caleb William can drive the car
- 1:11:57I guess if that's what it is yet. I'm not saying he can't
- 1:12:01Colts, yes, they're they're down, but
- 1:12:06But I
- 1:12:09Think the Colts win this game
- 1:12:11I think Anthony I think Anthony Richardson comes out and actually it has that, you know, he had his game done move on get better
- 1:12:18Play a better game. John the Taylor. You already ran a hundred yards. Cool run another hundred yards Michael Pittman show out get some more receptions
- 1:12:25Yeah, cool. Can you now I'm playing this week? Maybe
- 1:12:28And even even that can Caleb William throw him the ball? I don't know. Can it be there?
- 1:12:35Could be on target can and not be in the arms of the defender
- 1:12:38I may actually be out of his hands. Correct. I think I think
- 1:12:42The Colts defense isn't as bad as what we think it is with the forest buckner being out
- 1:12:47Which is a huge loss correct, but I think they do have some weapons
- 1:12:51You j speed still pretty decent as a linebacker. I think we can create. I think we can create some sort of pressure
- 1:12:59I'm not saying we as a Colts fan as we as I'm picking them to
- 1:13:05Your Colts fan this week. Yeah, and I've kind of always liked Jonathan Taylor
- 1:13:09I think I think he I think he's a good running back
- 1:13:11And I think with Anthony Richardson coming off a game that he had with three interceptions
- 1:13:16Sure, let's just go out and not throw three interceptions again, and we beat the Bears
- 1:13:20Yeah done. I think I think it's close. I think it's a field goal. I think it may be one score
- 1:13:26But I think the Colts finally come out with the game again
- 1:13:30Have a seat north school. Yeah, I think I said I don't know the two of their first round draft pick is also injured too. Yeah
- 1:13:38So they're the kind of we you know, it's fine few players, but go with your heart. I've taken
- 1:13:45No, that's the Viking will stand on it. I stand by it. I stand by it close beat the Bears
- 1:13:49There it is. There it is close beat the Bears
- 1:13:52last but not least the Eagles traveling to New Orleans
- 1:13:58You know what I'll start this one lucky lucky I know oh, okay, okay. Do you want to start this one?
- 1:14:05I mean, I don't want to give you all my knowledge and then you just follow me
- 1:14:10That's like steel is your steel. So I'll just go so I don't steal your takes but the Saints win this game
- 1:14:15There's no way there's no way they don't they're gonna be the surprise 3-0 team right now
- 1:14:22The Eagles are good not good enough. I didn't see enough from them last night
- 1:14:27And honestly, oh
- 1:14:30Jaylen Hertz is scaring me right now
- 1:14:33He's not playing bad, but not not good enough
- 1:14:37Yeah, and it's it's at home in New Orleans, that's a tough place to play
- 1:14:41You know, I'm talking about the bikes US Bank stadiums gonna be rocking the Superdome is gonna be rocking
- 1:14:47They're 2-0 and they did not expect to be 2-0 right now
- 1:14:50They're coming out 3-0. What's the difference maker?
- 1:14:54Home home field and filled advantage for the Saints in this game against the Eagles Eagles coming off of a tough game
- 1:15:02Their first game was a tough game to I I don't think the Eagles are ready. Okay?
- 1:15:07I'm gonna say it's okay. I'll say it's on it. I do not like this. Hey, what?
- 1:15:14You'll like any of that's on top of my list though to go and experience their atmosphere. Yeah, sure hundred percent
- 1:15:20but
- 1:15:21Rob. Oh, you want to go back to me, huh? I am actually gonna go
- 1:15:28I really wanted to go to the Saints, but I just still think the Eagles are a better team
- 1:15:32I think the Saints they've started off hot. They've got ahead in games early and they've kind of ridden it all
- 1:15:38Kamara's been playing awesome
- 1:15:40But I just think the Eagles after last week that I just I'm feeling the Eagles vibe this week
- 1:15:48That's about it. You know feeling the Eagles even though I'm not the biggest fan of them at all
- 1:15:52Not a fan either team like honestly when Kirk went down last week and through that touchdown every single NFL fan base
- 1:16:01Most likely super happy
- 1:16:04But I just got a feeling I think this is the week the Saints kind of come back to earth a little bit
- 1:16:09You know they started off hot against cobwebs. I just think Eagles
- 1:16:12You know, I think I just go in the Eagles and there's gonna be a point where the Saints do come back to earth
- 1:16:17I totally agree. It just won't be this week for me and they'll be a surprise three and oh
- 1:16:20Then I'm actually also gonna go with the Saints
- 1:16:24I think like you said the Eagles just didn't show enough last night
- 1:16:30The Falcons, yeah, they're not a horrible team
- 1:16:34But I think they maybe were even surprised that they went and scored that especially how they did
- 1:16:42Because the Eagles then looks shocked to you like oh
- 1:16:45We thought we were no the star-studded thing
- 1:16:49We just had the Falcons do that to us
- 1:16:54So I think it might be a wake-up game for them, I think this could be a shootout
- 1:17:02This could go either way, but I think the Saints do come out on top like you said Khmer has been playing great
- 1:17:09I think they're gonna ride him and
- 1:17:11And even just like quick screens not just running up a quick screen just getting him the ball in space
- 1:17:19I think that's gonna be the different maker for the Saints getting Khmer in space
- 1:17:24Sure, sure that what you got
- 1:17:28Saints this I mean this one's also really hard for me
- 1:17:31I think with the Eagles play the last couple of weeks. They played a crap Packers team
- 1:17:37Yeah, they in Brazil in Brazil
- 1:17:42Jalen Hurts ended up throwing two interceptions that game
- 1:17:44Which is the most he's probably thrown a long time then you go into week two and he ends up throwing one reception for under 200 yards
- 1:17:51He has to be the leader of that Eagles team
- 1:17:55But then you take it on the other side and then you've got the Saints who have scored 40 points in their last two games, right?
- 1:18:01But you got the Panthers and then you've got the Cowboys the Cowboys look decent week one
- 1:18:06So
- 1:18:07Toss up wise. I think the Saints offense is good with Kamara. I don't think Derek Carr
- 1:18:13I don't think a lot of a I just taste him hill hasn't done anything and tomorrow's truly their viable piece
- 1:18:19But I also think the Eagles have Jalen Hurts who needs to step up his game say Quan AJ Browns out
- 1:18:26So Ken Devontae Smith pick up the piece
- 1:18:29I think this will be a low scoring game
- 1:18:32Oh, we got a little scoring versus a shootout. Okay. I hate both teams with a passion
- 1:18:39That I don't want to pick either team. Can we do a loss for zero to zero?
- 1:18:44Someone tried that first week. I think
- 1:18:46Yeah, I
- 1:18:47Wanted to tie in a game not gonna work. I think it will be low scorns
- 1:18:50I think the Saints are gonna be writing their coattails saying hey, we're the best team in the league right now after a couple years
- 1:18:55I hope the crap
- 1:18:57Eagles though and you really need to figure it out. So do they step up or do they set out? I'm
- 1:19:03Still talking because I still haven't made a decision yet
- 1:19:08They're both I just I don't think it's gonna be that great of a game I
- 1:19:14Go a second Barclay St. Sam's in a run game like that
- 1:19:19Just to extend your decision. Do you think that Eagles really miss Jason Kelsey on that offense? Yes 100%
- 1:19:24absolutely, I think the
- 1:19:26I don't think it has anything to do with the push push
- 1:19:29I think has something to do with calling out your line
- 1:19:31Your past protection your line schemes who's coming who's not coming who's picking up?
- 1:19:35Who are we doubling this guy? Are we moving up to the center here?
- 1:19:38I think Jason Kelsey is smart enough to do that and he had done that for many years
- 1:19:43Also being undersized in the way he was
- 1:19:46I'm still trying to decide whether or not the Eagles and the Saints who's gonna win the game
- 1:19:51Because that's all on Jalen Hurst's plate now
- 1:19:53Yeah, it really is and and I just I don't trust Derek Carr
- 1:19:59To really keep this up
- 1:20:02And I don't think the receiving threats that they have I mean she heats she he's played pretty well
- 1:20:09Eagles win the game at a boy gross
- 1:20:15I think it's low story and I think it's under 20 points. I think it's like a 14 13 game or 17 14 game
- 1:20:22I think it's gonna come down to a field goal and I think Elliot is a better kicker than
- 1:20:28Snap he's getting to the kicker
- 1:20:34Next level here on the banter the boys at the Nordic lot. I just I think it's gross
- 1:20:40I know I thought the Falcons are a bad team and the Eagles lost to them
- 1:20:44Right, but I think the Saints came off the Panthers. They came off the Cowboys. Maybe and
- 1:20:49And again the Cowboys probably should have won that game. I think you still trying to talk. I am I still haven't figured it out
- 1:20:55Yeah, Eagles. Let's go. Oh, he goes he goes. All right
- 1:21:00With that fixer Matt Matt finally made his pet
- 1:21:05He just had to do all the math that I couldn't do early in the episode in the same like Sherlock Holmes it was all over my head
- 1:21:13Everyone just was hanging on a cliffhanger
