Browns STUN Ravens! Caleb Is Back & Broncos Need a RB | NFL Week 6 Recap · Banter with the Boys

0:00
Get laced up. Let's go. It's with the boys. Welcome
0:14
back to Banter with the Boys. Gridiron updates
0:16
our, what episode is this? Week 7. Wow, this
0:20
is a tech, it is week 7, but this is our week
0:22
6 recap episode, technically. Did I say Gridiron
0:27
updates? Yes, I did. Sorry, there were so many
0:30
missed field goals in that Ravens and Browns
0:31
game. It's just really throwing me off right
0:33
now. Only two. Yeah, big one though. Yeah, hurts.
0:36
Anyway. You're here. I am. That's it. Okay. Roberto.
0:41
Let's go to the ball. You know what I mean? No.
0:43
He only lassoed once. I swear. He usually lassos.
0:47
Oh, it is only once, isn't it? I added the second
0:49
one in there. Damn it. Never mind. Anyway, I'm
0:52
already getting distracted. It feels like it's
0:53
got to be more than one, though. That's what
0:54
I mean. Just one lasso. Keep it moving, boys.
0:56
Yeah. No, it's fine. It's good. It's good. Kev,
0:59
behind the camera, get everything done for us.
1:00
Nathan would have been here tonight, but he could
1:04
not make it. You would have seen his pretty face
1:06
one more week at least, our local Broncos fan.
1:10
But like I said, he could not make it. But his
1:13
Broncos won, and we'll touch on that before this
1:15
episode ends. So without further ado, let's get
1:16
into our first game, the Bills at the Raiders.
1:21
Bills getting the win 33 -30. But, man, this
1:24
was an absolute battle. And to be honest with
1:27
you, I mean, we were talking a little bit before
1:29
the show that let's start with the Vegas first
1:33
real quick. But we're thinking that Kirk Cousins
1:37
does not end up getting traded at the deadline.
1:40
He's playing well enough. Just let him keep running
1:42
with it right now. For sure. Right on. Yeah.
1:45
Three and three there. I feel like they're exactly
1:47
where they want to be right now. Absolutely.
1:50
Well, if you follow along here with Banter of
1:53
the Boys, we have a tent talk. episode coming
1:57
up as well. Don't forget to check that out, but
1:59
Kirk Cousins is on that trade list. We're going
2:01
to talk about other trade people as well, but
2:02
don't worry. We'll get to that. We're talking
2:05
trades already? Absolutely. It was three weeks
2:07
away from deadline. Anyway, sorry. Getting off
2:10
topic, but Kirk Cousins and company played a
2:13
great game, but just came up short. Great touch.
2:16
That last touchdown was amazing, by the way.
2:19
Just unfortunately couldn't fantasy football
2:21
stats. That's right. I mean, it was it was late
2:23
and it was garbage, almost garbage time, essentially,
2:26
but tried to make it interesting. Just couldn't
2:28
quite give it enough. Who do they do? We talk
2:31
about them in our week seven game. We do not.
2:36
So looking forward for the Raiders personally,
2:38
just real quick. Yeah, I got the Rams and then
2:41
at Jets at Niners. It doesn't get any easier
2:43
for the Raiders, but for the Raiders, do you
2:46
think they are a playoff team, Jake? If they
2:50
could sneak in, they're not going to win the
2:51
division most likely, right? Maybe sneak in as
2:54
a wild card. The AFC South really is interesting
3:00
in its own right. It's kind of potentially up
3:04
for grabs. Jaguars are stumbling a little bit
3:06
right now. Houston's getting hot. I mean, you
3:09
still might get two teams out of there. They're
3:13
10th right now. And Denver's still 4 -2. So they're
3:16
not in right now currently. Currently, but I
3:19
feel like they're battling enough that they might
3:21
still squeak out a couple of these. Some of these
3:23
close games, like again against the Chiefs and
3:25
the Bills, will go the other way for them at
3:27
some point here. I truly feel that. Again, Raider
3:30
Nation going to be happy with me. At the end
3:32
of the day, I think it's possible, but they have
3:35
to figure out their run game. Ashton Jenty's
3:37
got to figure out how to run the ball. He was
3:40
ineffective against that Bills defense. And you're
3:45
putting it down Jenty? Yeah. Right on. I mean,
3:48
averaging 2 .2 yards a carry is just... That's
3:52
not good? No. 2 .2? Okay. No. You want a bigger
3:55
number. Yeah, pump them numbers up. Times three
3:58
doesn't equal ten. No. What's ideal for you?
4:02
You want it... Three and a half? Three is okay,
4:06
I mean, technically. Three doesn't give you a
4:09
first down after three touches. But then you
4:11
can get four once you're mint. Right. You can
4:14
math late. Goal would be four. Four and a clust.
4:20
Was it dust of clouds is what they say. Yeah.
4:22
Right on. Well, were you about to say something?
4:26
No, I mean, it was just, I mean, the Bills came.
4:28
Josh Allen just shown why he's one of the NFL's
4:31
best quarterbacks. That play he made. That little
4:33
shuffle to Coleman. I mean, how do you defend
4:38
that? That's just a guy out in the schoolyard
4:40
making a play. So fun to watch him play. Yeah,
4:44
Ravens. I mean, not the Ravens, but the Raiders.
4:47
the score looks tighter i think really the game
4:49
was they were competitive with them in the first
4:51
half but um yeah bills raiders exactly we'll
4:56
see they got the rams and they got the jets rams
4:59
are falling a little bit but i think that's gonna
5:01
be a tougher game because the rams are falling
5:03
right now and i think it's almost like their
5:05
season too yeah and then then they got the jets
5:07
game and that's where you're gonna kind of figure
5:09
so if they don't split one of those if they lose
5:12
both then that's no way off to answer that question
5:15
yeah but if they can beat the rams let's say
5:17
they beat the jets struggling rams beat the jets
5:21
If they can at least compete with San Fran, do
5:22
you still feel decent about if they were to make
5:25
it as a wild card, can they actually? I mean,
5:27
I look at the rest of their full schedule. It's
5:29
just the math. You know, the more wins you get,
5:31
the easier it is to make the playoffs. And when
5:35
you're not going to win the division. Yeah, then
5:36
they got 49ers, Steelers, Broncos, Browns. I
5:40
mean, the next game, you think it's Chargers.
5:42
And then they got Broncos again. So, yeah, I
5:46
mean, they need, like you said. But those two
5:48
Broncos games could be really huge. It could
5:51
be really huge, but it's just not an easy win.
5:53
No, of course not. I don't know. I think they
5:57
at least split those Broncos games. I don't know.
6:00
I think they make a push for the playoffs either
6:02
way. But the Bills getting the dub, Josh Allen,
6:05
kind of that different quarterback like we were
6:07
talking about pre -show. What does he have to
6:11
do now to kind of get over that hump at this
6:13
point? trust the rest of his team which i think
6:16
he did a better job of doing this time at least
6:19
as far as trusting his offense because he only
6:21
had five carries for one yard where so it wasn't
6:25
oh my gosh josh allen's getting out of the pocket
6:27
and running to get a first down or uh doing the
6:31
the sneak for the touchdowns and stuff like that
6:33
so just you really you saw pocket passer josh
6:37
allen getting like even if the the pocket broke
6:39
down he was getting out and still trying to make
6:42
a play downfield versus just tucking, tuck it
6:44
and running and taking a hit. So I think that
6:46
that's where he continues to do that. And all
6:49
this without DJ more. Yeah. Right. Right. Right
6:52
on. We will talk about the bills actually in
6:55
our week seven preview episode. So check that
6:58
out. Circle them. Circle. Well, maybe we're playing
7:02
an interesting squad, but anyway, let's go to
7:05
our. Second game of week six here, the Carolina
7:09
Panthers going to Philadelphia and getting the
7:12
win, 25 -14. When was the last time Carolina
7:17
has won in Philly? I feel like that's maybe been
7:19
a while, but Philadelphia really struggling right
7:23
now. Obviously, the Jalen Hurts thing, we'll
7:25
touch on that in our next episode as well. Tanner
7:29
McKee didn't necessarily look great out there.
7:32
Again, the lack of run game. It's all bad. It's
7:34
all bad right now. I mean, the first play, he
7:36
literally was like, wait, no. Obviously, he was
7:41
very nervous. Of course. And it showed that first
7:43
play. Was that his first official NFL start?
7:47
Maybe. Maybe. Right on, right on. I'm going to
7:49
go yes. Right on. But that defense, that Philadelphia
7:51
defense, we kind of give them their flowers all
7:53
the time. But they can only hold on for so long.
7:57
and getting put in not necessarily the best positions
7:59
either. But on the other side of things, Bryce
8:02
Young every week continues. I don't know. Man,
8:05
I like him as a person, as a human being. I feel
8:08
like he's a good dude. Like every week I listen
8:11
to some of his pressers, and he just feels so
8:14
genuine. And even when he was down and out of
8:16
it, he was still a genuine guy. So it's just
8:18
good to see him. Not on top of the mountain right
8:22
now, but excelling, I would say, and continuing
8:25
to trend in the right direction and try to get
8:27
those Panthers to another playoff bid here. Yeah,
8:32
they are leading their division. I wasn't sure.
8:34
I thought maybe New Orleans had three as well,
8:36
but never mind. New Orleans wishes. Yeah, tough
8:39
NFC South division as far as first one to the
8:44
bottom here, but Carolina have the Buccaneers
8:47
and the... And then they travel to the Packers,
8:50
and then the Broncos. I mean, that's kind of
8:52
a gauntlet, too. Buccaneers seem to be a little
8:55
bit easier out, but that's still a division game.
8:57
Yeah, and that Buccaneers defense is playing
8:59
really, really tough right now, too. Keep it
9:02
on game, yeah. I mean, the first half was kind
9:05
of boring in this game. It was 10 -7 at half,
9:07
and the Eagles defense were holding on for dear
9:10
life in that opportunity. It was nice for them
9:14
to get Smith back. He caught a touchdown pass.
9:17
Dallas Goddard, too. Yeah, Goddard, too. Yeah,
9:21
it's looking like it's going to be a tough season.
9:24
I did see the whole Andy Dalton thing where they
9:27
cut him and then wanted him back, and he's like,
9:31
eh. And then he signed, I think, today. With
9:33
Atlanta. With Atlanta. That's a really funny,
9:36
interesting story. I think that's hilarious.
9:39
I mean, if they cut you, would you resign with
9:42
them immediately? If you had no other opportunity
9:45
somewhere else, I suppose, maybe. I don't know.
9:49
I think that bridge was burnt somewhere. I mean,
9:51
for sure. Clearly. But right on. Let's see. Hubbard,
9:56
obviously, over 120 yards. On 28 freaking carries.
9:59
He's been a really nice fantasy football draft
10:01
pick this year. Oh, there we go. There we go.
10:04
Right on. Anyone in that Carolina offense. Before
10:07
we move on, let's take a look at Eagles here.
10:09
Yeah, I mean, to be fair. If the Eagles can figure
10:13
a couple things out, and again, they've played
10:14
in a couple really close games, but if they can
10:18
get a couple more in the win column, they could
10:20
technically still somehow pull out this NFC East,
10:23
which is just, again, like the NFC South, just
10:26
struggling as a whole. I think the NFC East is,
10:30
I think, struggling worse than the NFC South.
10:34
They almost have the exact same records right
10:37
now. Could be worse. Like Giants. No Jackson
10:45
Dart. Yeah. Now you don't have Hurst. And then
10:48
Daniels is banged up and back and struggling
10:51
in San Francisco right now as we're recording
10:53
this on a Monday. The Monday night game is going
10:55
on. 13 -3, nine minutes left in the second. But
10:58
that's what's crazy is the commanders could still
11:01
figure this thing out and win the division. They
11:03
all have a chip in a chair right now. None of
11:08
them want to just snatch it. It's right there
11:10
for the taking. And the Cowboys are probably
11:12
the healthiest team of them all. I mean, the
11:15
Eagles got a big one against the Cowboys next
11:17
week in prime time. Is that Monday or Sunday?
11:20
Yep. I mean, this division is going to come out
11:22
to a battle. I feel like you get above 500, you're
11:25
winning this division. So that's what it is.
11:27
Race to 500 maybe. And zero wild card teams coming
11:31
out of this division. Yeah, I would agree with
11:32
that. Agreed. Let's move on to our third game
11:35
of the week. Where the Baltimore Ravens traveled
11:38
to the Cleveland Browns and took the loss. 13
11:42
-10. Yep. Just go for it, Flock Doc. Give it
11:46
to us. Give it to us straight. No chase. No chase.
11:52
I'm going to need a chase for this at this point.
11:55
Just, I was kind of thrown off a little. Not
11:59
just, I was caught off guard. I was expecting
12:01
Lamar to start. Me too. I think a lot of people
12:05
were, if they were listening, they'd be like,
12:07
yeah, Lamar's going to go. But Lamar wasn't the
12:10
only injury or the only person that didn't start.
12:15
Voorhees was kind of a laid out carryover injury
12:19
from last game. We were hoping Cam Juergens was
12:23
actually going to start at center. He didn't
12:24
play. So got a banged up old line. Is he set
12:28
to play next week, Juergens? Fingers crossed.
12:31
He's still technically in concussion protocol.
12:34
Sure. So it's hard to say. On the plus side,
12:41
though, Trey Hendrickson came back and we saw
12:43
like a staggering improvement on the defensive
12:48
line with getting pressure on Deshaun Watson
12:51
and stuff like that. No. consistency with the
12:58
offense henry didn't get 20 touches which is
13:00
what or more which is what i want to see um which
13:05
is crazy considering you're only down but 10
13:07
nothing for a good chunk of that first half actually
13:10
but like you didn't need to stop giving him the
13:14
ball oh we were up 10 nothing yeah i'm sorry
13:17
the other way around the other way around but
13:18
still the same concept though you don't need
13:20
to stop giving him the ball let's just the defense
13:23
was stopping cleveland from scoring just uh An
13:28
unfortunate late turnover by Henry on that late
13:30
fumble that gave Cleveland a short field to work
13:34
with that got him that touchdown to put it at
13:36
10. Again, special teams, mishaps with Loop missing
13:41
the field goal. Just a myriad of things there.
13:45
And the defense just felt like they ran out of
13:46
gas towards the end there, which is why they
13:49
gave up on that last drive 60 -odd yards. with
13:56
the Cleveland getting into field goal range and
13:57
then winning it there. So disappointing loss.
14:02
They should have won that game. But back to the
14:06
drawing board. But also, last season and beginning
14:11
of this season, we've been talking about Carson
14:13
Schlesinger. the linebacker for Cleveland. Yes.
14:16
All game long, he was trying to rip that ball
14:18
out of anybody and everybody's hands. He's good.
14:21
Or punching it. And then he finally got it there
14:24
with that Derrick Henry fumble late. So it was
14:28
going to happen sooner or later. I just wish
14:30
it happened sooner rather than later. Yeah, I
14:32
mean, I watched the highlights of this game.
14:35
I get a chance to really fall back of it. And
14:37
then I kind of went through just the play -by
14:38
-plays. And I just wanted to see kind of the
14:40
possessions of that second half. And they were
14:42
giving it to Henry first and second down a decent
14:46
amount. But you got to give credit to the Cleveland
14:48
Browns defense in that front seven there of really
14:51
controlling. Because there was a lot of third
14:54
and long situations, which you don't really want
14:58
your backup quarterback in. And it really doesn't.
15:02
kept them in that game that whole second half
15:04
um so it's really interesting though now as cleveland
15:08
fans sitting at top of the vision at four first
15:10
place like and actually like liking your quarterback
15:16
you know for I don't know, putting you at four
15:19
and two. So it's really interesting. I'd like
15:21
to know about from the dog pound. Are they fully
15:25
on the Sean Watson bandwagon or they still got
15:30
too many burnt britches from the past? Well,
15:35
you got three straight away games. So I guess
15:38
we're about to find out. Yeah. For me, I feel
15:42
like this game. Baltimore definitely felt in
15:45
control. And then the thing that changed it for
15:48
me is right before halftime, actually, Huntley
15:51
was able to get too long. Well, the one was like
15:56
third and 10, but then the next third down was
15:58
like third and 17 or whatever. They're able to
16:00
convert two long third downs and keep that drive
16:05
alive, then have to punt, whatever. And then
16:07
Browns gave it back. Ravens still couldn't do
16:10
anything with it. So I feel like if they would
16:12
have scored right there, right before half, when
16:14
it felt like they really had all the momentum
16:16
yet. Put them away. It might have put them away
16:19
completely. But the fact that the Browns defense
16:21
was able to stand up right there and bend but
16:24
not break, I think for me that really changed
16:27
it. But, yeah, Cleveland, let's see. Titans,
16:31
Steelers, Saints. All winnable games. For the
16:35
Cleveland Browns, the defense. Should win all
16:38
three of those games. Maybe the Saints shuck
16:41
has a little bit more fun, but I feel like the
16:43
defense alone could win those next three games,
16:45
honestly, for Cleveland. So if Deshaun Watson
16:47
can do, you don't, I see you already don't think
16:50
so, but what if Deshaun Watson does what he did
16:52
this game? Just gets it done. Just enough. Just
16:56
enough kind of guy. Doesn't turn the ball over.
16:58
Doesn't turn the ball over, takes care of it.
17:01
I think the Steelers is going to be a tough win
17:03
for them. Oh, for sure. But the Steelers don't
17:06
always feel like they're, like, automatic like
17:09
what's the spread going to be on that not more
17:11
than three and a half four they the Steelers
17:14
feel like the worst four and two team out of
17:16
that division right now out of the three that's
17:19
a fair I don't know and Steelers actually feel
17:21
like the worst team in that division as a whole
17:23
for me I feel like the I would take the bangles
17:26
over them at this point I think Cleveland is
17:28
going to absolutely battle them I think it's
17:30
going to be it'll be like this game It would
17:32
be a close battle, whatever. Yeah, I mean, Pittsburgh's
17:35
wins are against the Falcons without PennX, Bengals,
17:40
Colts, and Bucs. Sure, sure. I don't know. I
17:44
would still take, like, if Cincinnati was playing
17:46
Pittsburgh next week, I would probably take Cincinnati
17:48
right now. I don't know. Just the vibe I'm getting.
17:51
So, Browns, they go 3 -0 in the next three away
17:54
games? No. 2 -1? Yeah, I think they can speed
17:59
up to 2 -1. Okay. 0 -3 from you, Brian? No. They're
18:04
most likely going to be the Titans. 1 -2. I'll
18:10
give them 2 -1. I don't think 1 -2 is, I think,
18:14
more likely. Fair enough. I believe in the Saints
18:17
a little bit more than everybody else around
18:20
here. Fair enough. We don't need to talk much
18:24
more about the flock. uh game four nah we'll
18:27
talk about the flock in our week seven preview
18:28
and picks don't forget to check it out and we
18:30
will get uh the flock docs take on that of course
18:33
as always um but game four of our week what are
18:37
we doing week six we're still doing week six
18:39
i don't know how i've forgotten the recap um
18:42
the bears beating the falcons 31 23 bears moving
18:48
to four and two um That was a pretty big win
18:51
for the Bears, to be honest with you. Obviously,
18:53
Caleb Beck was probably the biggest storyline
18:55
for me of that game and very efficiently moved
18:59
the ball. Very healthy -looking he moved around
19:02
the field. Very healthy -looking. Yeah, that's
19:04
very good. But the Bears kind of showing you
19:08
what they showed right away to start the season,
19:10
some of that explosiveness there. The run game,
19:14
we didn't. Menungai still was not ready to go.
19:19
Johnson did all he could. Then he still were
19:21
able to throw in a little swift. So it's whatever.
19:23
Got it done. Still probably looking for Mnangai
19:25
to return to kind of see if they can repeat week
19:29
one at all this season. What do you got there,
19:34
Roberto, on the 31 -23 win? I mean, the Bears
19:36
came out hot. I mean, they were up 14 -0 just
19:38
like that. And Falcons kind of showed their colors
19:41
a little bit on that offensive side. Bears did
19:45
an excellent job on Bijan Robinson in that first
19:47
half to really kind of make them a little more
19:50
one -dimensional, trying to play catch -up in
19:52
that game. I think it was 21 -7 here all the
19:56
way. I think it was 28 -7 going into the fourth.
19:58
31 -7, geez. So, I mean, that's... I never really
20:04
thought it was a game at all. I was looking through
20:06
it. I kind of wanted to switch the game over,
20:09
but I wished my TV station was a little different.
20:13
We did have a bunch of fantasy guys on those
20:15
games, too. The Bears look like they're humming.
20:19
Caleb looks back. He had some really nice throws.
20:24
Confident throwing the ball. I assume no on the
20:26
All -22 on this game. No, I didn't get an All
20:28
-22 on this one. You should. That's your homework
20:30
for the next three weeks. All -22 won Caleb Williams'
20:32
game. I'm just curious your thoughts. Since you
20:35
dig into it so deep, I want to see your thoughts.
20:38
I did more Justin Herbert All -22. I just wanted
20:40
to see where he was at. It's got to be painful.
20:43
It was ugly. You know what? Save that for our
20:45
tent talk. episode let's bring that up because
20:48
i'm curious your findings there um the bears
20:50
they got the patriots and then they travel to
20:53
seattle and then they got the bucks uh that patriots
20:56
game could be an absolute battle i think that's
20:58
a key key game i mean the next two games really
21:00
are key for them um if they can split between
21:03
patriots and seahawks i think i'm still feeling
21:05
pretty high on the bears The Vikings are one
21:08
loss away from letting another team climb into
21:11
the NFC North at this point. Detroit's not fully
21:15
out of it either. So these division standings
21:18
could completely change here in the North. So
21:20
if I'm the Bears, I'm still feeling pretty solid
21:22
moving forward. Who do the Falcons have here
21:27
coming up? The Niners, I think that might be
21:30
one of our games. I can't remember. In week seven,
21:32
I don't know. Go listen to it, find out. Niners,
21:35
and then also at... How the hell does that work?
21:37
Are you looking at the right one? Yeah. Well,
21:41
I don't know. I don't know. Hold on. Stand by.
21:44
Stand by. Oh, no. Never mind. I'm good. Yeah,
21:46
I'm good. I'm good. Anyway, let me go back here.
21:50
Hold on. Hold on. Sorry. Stand by. Still. Standing?
21:54
No, you're sitting. Okay, Niners, yeah. That's
21:57
probably going to be a tough one for Atlanta.
21:59
Three minutes later. Yeah, right. No kidding.
22:00
But I do feel they can at least battle and maybe
22:03
squeak out the win against the Bucs, but I think
22:06
that's going to be closer than Falcon fans want
22:09
to imagine. Then it's Bengals, Chiefs, Vikings,
22:11
so it doesn't get any easier for the Falcons.
22:16
Safe to say they really needed that one. They're
22:17
0 -3 at home. That's got to suck for season ticket
22:21
holders. Just every game is an L. But anyway,
22:23
whatever. Atlanta falling to 2 -4. What does
22:26
their division look like quick before? I know
22:28
we already looked at it once tonight. Nobody's
22:31
really running away with it. No. You know, so
22:34
it's got to hang in there. If you're Atlanta,
22:36
just hang in there. You never know. You never
22:38
know. Real quick, we did pick this game, but
22:41
we won't touch on it too much. But this game
22:43
went into overtime, our official, unofficial
22:46
game five of week six. The Seahawks traveling
22:49
to the Broncos. Broncos able to get the win,
22:52
like I said, in overtime. But that fourth quarter
22:56
by Seattle was pretty insane. Yeah, it was a
22:59
really entertaining game. What's your take on
23:02
Bo Nix? I really wanted Nathan to be here so
23:05
we could get his take on Bo because he's kind
23:07
of low on Bo right now, and he was saying some
23:09
other things to you after the show last week
23:12
about Bo. But, Flock Doc, what's your kind of
23:16
take on Bo Nix's current situation? Or is it
23:20
more than Bo Nix? I think it's more than Bo Nix.
23:22
I think it's the lack of a running game and the
23:25
ability to at least be a common theme on the
23:27
show. Yeah. There's no juice in that backfield.
23:30
Right. So there's no real threat for, well, I
23:38
still think really highly of that receiving core
23:40
as far as stretching the field, but there's no
23:43
real. running back threat to bring those safeties
23:48
up so like play action is not working out for
23:52
them this year like it was last year and i think
23:54
that's where bo nicks really excels do you think
23:56
broncos should be in the conversation to pick
24:00
up a running back before the deadline if one
24:02
becomes available and they can afford it there's
24:05
a couple available we'll talk about in the next
24:06
episode but do you think they should at least
24:08
be looking at that absolutely yeah with their
24:12
record right now and their standings there, they've
24:14
got a chance of making the playoffs. So you have
24:17
to be buying right now. And there's a couple
24:19
of veteran running backs. Like I said, we'll
24:20
talk about them that are kind of floating around
24:22
out there in the trade sphere. Don't like that.
24:25
They didn't work, but you know what I mean? Again,
24:28
we'll touch on it, but Seattle on the other side
24:30
of things. I mean, I don't want Sam Darnold throwing
24:36
the ball 51 times. So, I mean, that's just telling
24:39
me that there's no trust in the running game,
24:41
even though statistically 26 for, you know, 4
24:45
.3 average carry. But I just never felt like
24:47
in the game that that was a true number. If I
24:50
take the longs off that, the 18, the 13, 11,
24:53
that number drastically changes. And that's probably
24:56
the reality of what my eyes told me during the
24:58
game. targets cup with 10 but i just like we
25:04
were talking a little bit i don't i don't know
25:07
what's with that passing game that just doesn't
25:10
like there's a second they're missing a second
25:12
if whether it's a tight end i don't know if cup
25:15
just doesn't excite me enough to be a threat
25:18
down the field Rashid had a few plays, but I
25:23
don't know. Something feels like it's probably
25:25
the running game where they're not getting those
25:28
opportunities with those two high safeties playing
25:31
against them the whole time. I will give credit
25:33
to the Broncos. They've got a good defense, too.
25:36
You mentioned the run game, but they're also
25:38
not getting those running backs. involved at
25:41
all in the passing game, at least that game at
25:43
all. No short little, you know what I mean? Just
25:46
at least get it in their hands, which could maybe,
25:48
I don't know, this is a really long shot, but
25:50
it could still open up things inside for their
25:53
vision or something. Get the ball in their hands
25:55
so they can get out in the open field, make some
25:56
moves, blah, blah, blah. I don't think Wilson
25:58
has the best hands. Price is kind of the guy
26:00
they wanted to. Charbonnet is coming back here
26:03
shortly. That could be huge for them. So that's
26:06
why I think the answer is why they're not getting
26:07
it to them because I don't think they really
26:09
trust them in that. Matt, because I don't really
26:11
want to. Yeah, right on. Fair enough. Seattle's
26:16
got the Chiefs next week. So do we know is Charbonnet
26:19
back next week? Because they could really use
26:21
him for that one. But I think it's just talks
26:24
that he's getting closer. Fair enough. Fair enough.
26:27
So they got a tough one against Casey. Another
26:29
tough one against the Bears. They go play the
26:32
Cardinals, which you never know what you're going
26:34
to get when you play Arizona right now. I don't
26:38
know. It could be tough sledding for Seattle.
26:41
Or the Rams aren't the Rams we thought they were
26:43
going to be. That's true. It's very true. Yeah,
26:45
do we see, are we going to see a year where Arizona
26:49
beats out the Rams within their own division?
26:51
It's possible. Rams are fourth right now in their
26:54
division. And the Rams, or not the Rams, the
26:58
Cardinals have more wins at SoFi Stadium this
27:00
year than the Chargers and Rams combined. Yikes.
27:05
That's, yeah. And with the news that came out
27:09
of the Rams today, it doesn't get any better.
27:13
Tune in for the next episode there to check out
27:16
what Roberto over there is talking about. Or
27:18
just Google it right now because you probably
27:19
figured it out. But the Broncos, they travel
27:23
to Arizona and then also have the Chiefs and
27:26
then the Panthers. So also for them, it doesn't
27:28
get any easier as well. So we really wanted Nathan's
27:33
putt here. Curious on... what record he would
27:36
give them the next three weeks, I'm going to
27:39
assume one and two. Because he feels very low
27:43
on the Broncos right now as his home squad. What
27:47
did you say? 200 and 0. 200 and 0? Yep, that's
27:52
what he said. Right on. Let's see. Well, that
27:56
would be it. We'll also give this little update
27:59
here in the... in the week seven preview episode
28:03
but in case for whatever reason you don't listen
28:05
to it you should um last well i finally did all
28:09
the standings and crap for our picks only took
28:12
me six weeks but it's done it's there um i don't
28:16
know kev you're not putting it up are you maybe
28:18
yeah great yeah well yeah no it's all good um
28:24
as you see there spotify listeners don't look
28:27
it's fine you don't need to go look but smelty
28:29
right there at the top with all the red there
28:30
oh and five last week so good thing i have a
28:33
podcast we talk football um but anyway uh dom
28:38
actually if you don't know who dom is you should
28:40
probably go listen to the first two weeks because
28:42
homie went eight no he's had three perfect weeks
28:45
this season i can't believe i'm giving him his
28:47
flowers like this is unbelievable um but dom
28:49
is complete is 17 and eight right now leading
28:52
the pack it is then followed by let's see here
28:55
looks like Roberto and technically Nathan are
28:59
tied, but Roberto has a 15 -10 record. Nathan's
29:04
only 3 -2, but same win percentage. And then
29:07
it falls to Jake, who is 13 -12, right? Hot on
29:11
Rob's tail there. And me, hot on Jake's tail.
29:14
Actually, I don't like how I'm saying that. I'm
29:17
12 -13, bringing up the caboose. So, you know,
29:21
somebody's got to do it. But before this week,
29:23
though. If we go back and take a look at some
29:25
weeks, Roberto and I were tied for the last two
29:29
weeks or three weeks straight. I think we had
29:33
the same season record for three after each week,
29:36
three weeks in a row. Jake was right there with
29:39
us for two of those three weeks, so we're right
29:41
there, fellas. But if you go back and look, I
29:43
think we had a lot of the same picks back then,
29:45
too. Yeah. It's just a really difficult season
29:48
as far as pick -ems go. Especially if you're
29:52
doing survivor pick 'ems. Oh, yeah. Good luck.
29:57
I bet you how many people lost on the Rams in
30:00
the Cardinals game this week. Too many. All of
30:03
them. Well, with that, fellas, thanks for being
30:06
here for this week six recap episode. You're
30:09
welcome. Jake, Flock Doc. Yeah, we're flocking.
30:13
Flocking. A little disappointed flock this week,
30:17
but maybe a little positive flock heading into
30:18
next week. Yeah, there's things to look forward
30:21
to, but there's still a lot of work. A lot of
30:23
things to improve to. A lot of work. Don't forget
30:26
to check out Week 7 Preview Show. Jake will tell
30:29
you all about it. Roberto. Thanks, Coach. That's
30:33
right. That's right. He doesn't do it on the
30:36
end, though. He only does it on the intro, so
30:37
that was me messing it up. But then he didn't
30:40
do the full horns, though, either. What? Did
30:42
he not? That's the point of my wife and kids
30:44
at home. Love you. Good job. That's where he
30:48
is right now. Anyway, Kev, you're getting everything
