  Yo. Yo. 4 -0, baby. 4 -0. I'm feeling good right
• 0:41

  I'm excited to talk about football. That's right.
• 0:44
  Of course. Kev, behind the scenes, get everything
• 0:47

• 0:53

• 0:56
  see our new graphics and whatnot. That is from
• 1:00
  Kev, yours truly here. Hard at work. Putting
• 1:03
  in the work, so that looks awesome. Thank you,
• 1:05
  Kev, for everything you do for us here. It looks
• 1:08
  great. Give Kev a like. Give Kev a like. I already
• 1:12
  know. Or give them a Europe. You know what I
• 1:13
  mean? All right. So with that, what are we doing?
• 1:16
  This is the week four recap of this week. Our
• 1:20
  first game is probably the best one. And then
• 1:23
  we could skip the other three, honestly. No.
• 1:25
  Facts. No. Wow. Facts. I can't wait to hear what
• 1:29
  you got to say, actually. But first game, probably
• 1:32
  best game of the week. Kansas City staying undefeated,
• 1:35
  beating the Raiders 30 to 27. But I feel like
• 1:40
  this is. This, I mean, the Raiders have been
• 1:43
  trying to build for years now at this point.
• 1:45
  Yes, Kirk Cousins is balling. But even the quarterback
• 1:47
  behind him, Mendoza, I mean, this could be a
• 1:51
  re -sparked rivalry that's been missing, you
• 1:54
  know, for a long time. You guys got the opportunity
• 1:57
  to watch this one? Yeah, I got to watch this
• 2:00
  whole thing. Yeah, it was a fun game. I mean,
• 2:02
  Raider Nation came out loud after us making our
• 2:05
  predictions for this game. So it was fun bantering
• 2:08
  with them a little bit online. Oh, I didn't even
• 2:10
  do the pics this week. Jeez. Anyway, sorry. So,
• 2:13
  yeah, it was a real fun game. One job. One job.
• 2:17
  It was back and forth. Kenneth Walker, you know,
• 2:19
  kind of took over that second half. That was
• 2:22
  kind of the difference maker. Raiders had kind
• 2:24
  of a little chip in a chair at the end. I think
• 2:27
  the spread was three and a half last week. I
• 2:29
  think I predicted by a field goal. I think I
• 2:31
  was spot on right under the thing. So it was
• 2:34
  just a fun game. I mean, the Raiders look good.
• 2:36
  Their defense can keep them in games. The Chiefs'
• 2:40
  offense is solid, but it's not super explosive.
• 2:43
  So, you know, I still think that they're still
• 2:46
  looking for that threat, you know, and they've
• 2:49
  been banged up a little bit, too. They had a
• 2:51
  couple of big plays throughout the game that,
• 2:53
  I mean. I mean, to their benefit, but also to
• 2:58
  their detriment, because they had a couple of
• 3:00
  injuries, too, during that game that were pretty
• 3:02
  big that are going to impact them, I think, for
• 3:05
  the remainder of the year. And that's a separate
• 3:08
  conversation that we're going to have during
• 3:09
  our next segment. What is the next segment? Oh,
• 3:17
  we're not going to say those words. I like it.
• 3:19
  Keep it rolling. Just teasing. Just teasing these
• 3:22
  two. And, yeah, Kenneth Walker continuing to
• 3:26
  show that he probably should be in the conversation
• 3:31
  right now. For MVP? MVP, absolutely. So he should
• 3:35
  be garnering votes. And, yeah, the Raiders played
• 3:37
  super solid throughout most of the game. The
• 3:41
  biggest blunder was that fumble on the kickoff
• 3:43
  right after Kansas City scored. And then Kenneth
• 3:48
  Walker turns around next play 22 yards to the
• 3:50
  house. Flipped the entire game. I think if that
• 3:54
  turnover doesn't happen, you probably have a
• 3:59
  completely different outcome, and we're having
• 4:01
  a very different conversation today. Yeah, exactly.
• 4:04
  And the Chiefs defense played really well. They
• 4:08
  kept the running game down to a minimum. We were
• 4:12
  talking about last night, are they believers
• 4:14
  now? Did the Raiders answer the question whether
• 4:18
  they're a team that might be playoff bound? Absolutely.
• 4:22
  I mean, I don't see why not. Now they got some
• 4:25
  toughies. The next three games for the Raiders
• 4:28
  are tough, tough, tough at the Patriots against
• 4:30
  the Bills and then against the Rams. Bills and
• 4:33
  Rams are both. at home at Raider Nation, but
• 4:36
  away on the road against the Patriots next week.
• 4:38
  So three toughies. So, I mean, even if they were
• 4:41
  to lose all three games, if they were to lose
• 4:43
  all three games for me but only by three again
• 4:45
  and, like, in it at the end of the game, O -line,
• 4:48
  you got to give Kirk Cousins some more time.
• 4:50
  A homie cannot run. He shouldn't be running for
• 4:53
  his life. He actually had a nice one. I know.
• 4:55
  I know he did. But, like, we can't game plan
• 4:58
  on it. You can't plan on that. And, of course,
• 5:00
  that final play of the game was him trying to
• 5:02
  scramble away. extend the play and get an opportunity
• 5:05
  because the pocket collapsed so fast. And, of
• 5:08
  course, got hit from behind and the whole thing.
• 5:10
  But, man, I think the Raiders have something
• 5:13
  working here. And if Kirk Cousins stays healthy,
• 5:15
  we do not see Mendoza at all this season. I would
• 5:18
  agree. Unless it's in garbage time. And Tom Brady's
• 5:20
  already said to his, I don't know what percentage
• 5:23
  his ownership is, but he seems to be the one
• 5:25
  that speaks the most. That was nice, though.
• 5:30
  Oh, Kev, you're up. I see you there. Anyway.
• 5:33
  Where was I at? Oh, yeah, I don't think we see
• 5:36
  Mendoza at all this year. Tom Brady's came out
• 5:38
  and said it multiple times. He wants him to sit.
• 5:40
  And if Kirk's balling like this, I'm very curious.
• 5:44
  I'm actually extremely interested in the Raiders'
• 5:46
  next three games. I got to try to watch those
• 5:48
  as much as I can with, you know, I don't give
• 5:51
  my money to Red Zone anymore because it used
• 5:53
  to come with my package. There's a box I heard
• 5:56
  that's out there that has access. I don't trust
• 6:01
  that thing. Don't get me started. That's a whole
• 6:03
  other tangent. It's just called the interwebs.
• 6:05
  Yeah, exactly. No, totally, totally. But believers
• 6:07
  for you, Jake, on the Raiders? Or are you still
• 6:10
  thinking 500 is kind of their ceiling? Because
• 6:14
  they're going to play a bunch more hard. Their
• 6:16
  schedule is definitely getting harder versus
• 6:18
  the beginning of their schedule. I'm starting
• 6:21
  to lean towards believers. Some pretenders last
• 6:26
  week, just FYI. I did. I did because they haven't
• 6:30
  played a really good team, and we finally got
• 6:33
  to see what they look like against a really good
• 6:35
  team. All right. Hear that, Raider Nation? Yeah.
• 6:40
  The doc is on your team. Finally. Even though
• 6:44
  we don't have Max. You guys, see. Kept Max. I
• 6:47
  think Max was... Well, that's right. You probably
• 6:49
  have some weird feelings about that. I don't
• 6:51
  have weird feelings about that. But Max Crosby
• 6:53
  was continuously putting pressure on Patrick
• 6:57
  Mahomes over the course of the entire game, too.
• 6:59
  Yes, sir. Everything looked and worked out great
• 7:04
  for them. Yeah. Look out. I think they're going
• 7:08
  to be a tough out for anybody the rest of the
• 7:12
  way. We'll wrap it up here because we've got
• 7:15
  to keep moving, fellas. Like you mentioned, too,
• 7:17
  with, I want to keep calling him Kemba Walker,
• 7:19
  with Kenneth Walker. Michigan State. Yeah, I
• 7:22
  know. And then, you know, the Raiders, Ashton
• 7:25
  Gentry, you know, if Gentry didn't, you know,
• 7:27
  have that ankle injury and kind of have to limit
• 7:29
  his snaps the rest of the game, I don't know.
• 7:33
  Maybe that's a different game, too, at that point,
• 7:34
  because he was running well. You know what I
• 7:36
  mean? So something else to keep an eye on those
• 7:38
  next three games. If he's healthy, is it just
• 7:42
  as close as this game if not pulling out wins
• 7:44
  against these? I would say superior teams. I
• 7:47
  mean, it's going to be a challenge. It's going
• 7:49
  to be a gauntlet. We'll touch on the Chiefs again.
• 7:52
  No, we won't. Okay, real quick, and then we'll
• 7:53
  wrap it up. Chiefs got next. Oh, that's right.
• 7:56
  Yeah, they're on the bye. So they go into the
• 7:58
  bye. Early bye week, which is unfortunate for
• 8:00
  them. It is when you're vibing. Now that's the
• 8:03
  plus for them is coming out and playing the Chargers,
• 8:06
  which probably will end up being a trap game.
• 8:08
  I don't see the Chargers, you know, going. winless
• 8:12
  for that long but I mean I guess they could um
• 8:15
  but maybe that's the one of course that they
• 8:17
  would win and mess up the Chiefs perfect season
• 8:20
  I don't know but uh and then they got at Seahawks
• 8:23
  and at Broncos after that so doesn't get easier
• 8:25
  for the Chiefs either per se other than that
• 8:27
  Chargers game so we'll see see what happens and
• 8:29
  I'm a Chargers fan I can say that I guess the
• 8:30
  Chiefs losing the Chargers why not that's what
• 8:32
  I'm saying that might be a track game for them
• 8:34
  so something that will keep an eye on here at
• 8:36
  the man or the boy what do you got what do you
• 8:37
  got no I don't think so They're just going to
• 8:39
  stop him. Yeah, it's Chiefs coming off of a bye
• 8:42
  week. Andy Reid off of a bye week is like a million
• 8:45
  and one. Yeah. So you're telling me there's a
• 8:47
  chance. Is he really? Close enough. Yeah, close
• 8:51
  enough. Not a million and one. I'm not asking
• 8:54
  if that's true. I mean, I dropped a factoid like
• 8:57
  two years ago, like coming into the Super Bowl
• 9:00
  as far as like picking Chiefs versus Eagles,
• 9:03
  whatever. There was a factoid in there. So dig
• 9:06
  it up. Dig up the archives. 22 -5 in regular
• 9:09
  season games immediately following a bye week.
• 9:11
  Yeah, you're right in that percentage. I get
• 9:14
  it. But again, goes to our storyline of it could
• 9:19
  absolutely be the Chargers. There it is. We'll
• 9:23
  see. Coach is calling it. Doc says nope. Yeah,
• 9:26
  that's right. All right, let's move to our second
• 9:28
  game of week four. It was the Dolphins at the
• 9:32
  Vikings. There was a game played, yes. Okay,
• 9:38
  well, let's call it for what it is. I mean, the
• 9:39
  defense for the Vikings, I mean, honestly. Look
• 9:41
  real nice. They look real nice again. I mean,
• 9:42
  honestly, the Dolphins played okay as well. But
• 9:45
  did you all 22 this game? Oh, yeah. Naturally.
• 9:49
  How many missed opportunities did Kyler Murray
• 9:51
  have this game compared to last game? Did he
• 9:52
  improve, in your opinion? Because that's one
• 9:54
  thing that you notice for sure. He missed a couple
• 9:56
  easy ones. He drastically improved in that. Miami
• 10:01
  sat deep. Their linebackers were getting crazy
• 10:05
  depth. And they took all that crossing route
• 10:09
  away from Madison all day long. And so that's
• 10:11
  where you saw Hawkinson. Aaron Jones, he had
• 10:16
  four catches with a couple drops, and he just
• 10:18
  kept dunking them down. I'm cool with that all
• 10:20
  day long. It's just the penalties, some miscues
• 10:23
  here and there that made him kick field goals.
• 10:26
  Thank God we got an all -star kicker. That true.
• 10:29
  But you know what? I was really impressed with
• 10:31
  the Dolphins. Chop Robinson looks like the deal.
• 10:34
  He gave Brian O 'Neal fits all day watching film.
• 10:38
  Darryl Sauer, I mean, we'll get into different
• 10:40
  things. But also that Rodriguez guy in the middle,
• 10:42
  number 10, why is that a local dude? Yeah, yep.
• 10:46
  I'm calling, I mean, he's like Lou Keekly style.
• 10:49
  Like, he's all over the field and, like, giving
• 10:51
  him, and he's a rookie with a green dot. He looks
• 10:54
  nice. Yeah, which they mentioned that during
• 10:57
  the game. I can't remember. I think they said
• 10:59
  how often it happens. Obviously, not very often
• 11:01
  you get the green dot. But, Jake, what is your
• 11:04
  take on this Viking? I mean, okay, more specifically,
• 11:07
  the Vikings offense. I mean, we're waiting for
• 11:10
  it to spark right now. I thought I was watching
• 11:14
  Starship Troopers or something. Because you got
• 11:17
  the defense doing their part. Special teams doing
• 11:20
  their part. Aaron Jones is doing his part. Hawkinson.
• 11:24
  And then you got Kyler Murray. He's like, I ain't
• 11:27
  doing. 27 for 37 with 240. I mean, I'll take
• 11:34
  that every week and win football games. Did he
• 11:37
  protect the ball? Yep. There we go. But you can
• 11:40
  only rely on that defense for so long. Over the
• 11:44
  course of a game and over the course of an entire
• 11:46
  season. I agree. At some point, that offense
• 11:48
  has got to figure itself out and start scoring
• 11:51
  points. Especially in the games when the defense
• 11:52
  needs some help. Yeah. Yep. I mean, that's every
• 11:56
  game, though, and every team could say that about
• 11:58
  every scenario. What if Josh Allen suddenly sucks
• 12:02
  at football? Is that defense going to carry them
• 12:05
  in Buffalo? It's flip -flop. I totally agree.
• 12:08
  You just need to put points to the ball. You
• 12:10
  can't have five field goals. It's red zone. Do
• 12:12
  we know when Mason's back? Not that I hate what
• 12:17
  Aaron Jones is giving the Vikings at all, but
• 12:21
  it's just not sustainable for him for an entire
• 12:24
  season. Hoping Mason comes back soon just to
• 12:28
  help fill that void a little bit. Jeddas, I think,
• 12:31
  is tracking to be back this week. Yeah, I think
• 12:34
  he's going to play. We'll check out our next
• 12:35
  episode. Did you see something else? Boy, yeah,
• 12:39
  he's on the fence. Petey Petey? For Jettos? Yeah.
• 12:42
  Well, he is the flock dog. Yeah, we should have
• 12:44
  asked him. We'll talk about that. But the other
• 12:47
  thing that stood out to me as far as watching
• 12:49
  that game is that Minnesota really struggled
• 12:51
  with tackling Ollie Gordon. Agreed. Bigger back.
• 12:55
  Big dude. Arm tackles. A lot faster than I think
• 12:58
  a lot of people were expecting from him, too.
• 13:03
  That's what beats the Vikings defense is a good
• 13:05
  running game, honestly. Like, if we play the
• 13:07
  Ravens, it's not a good matchup for the Vikings.
• 13:11
  Yeah, I would agree. Sorry to cut you off there.
• 13:14
  No, that's okay. But as far as Dolphins fans
• 13:19
  go, they should feel good. It's like, oh, man,
• 13:21
  it sucks that we lost A -Chan, but the few touches
• 13:24
  that Ali had, he had nine, but he still went
• 13:26
  over a hundo. Like, keep giving him the ball
• 13:30
  and start putting the offense through him. And
• 13:33
  I think something will end up clicking there.
• 13:37
  So the Dolphins are one of five teams that are
• 13:40
  still winless. Do you see them getting that win
• 13:43
  next week against the Bengals in Miami? It's
• 13:46
  possible, I think. That depends on the status
• 13:52
  of Chase and Higgins. Exactly. 100%. Which we'll
• 13:55
  talk about in the next episode because that is
• 13:56
  a big question mark right now. Yeah. week after
• 14:00
  it's away against the Jets. So if it's not the
• 14:02
  Bengals, you could at least battle the Jets,
• 14:05
  who have been battling teams this year. So don't
• 14:07
  get me wrong. That's not an easy win by any means.
• 14:09
  Like we've maybe liked to say in years past,
• 14:11
  I think the Jets are trending in the right direction.
• 14:13
  They got their first interception this past weekend.
• 14:16
  Oh, my God. Finally. I remember that from the
• 14:19
  preseason show we talked about. But anyway, enough
• 14:23
  about the Jets during the Vikings -Dolphins game.
• 14:25
  But we'll talk about the Vikings. Don't forget
• 14:28
  to check out our Week 5 preview episode, which
• 14:30
  we talked plenty of Vikings there, naturally.
• 14:33
  But the Dolphins look to get their first win
• 14:35
  here in the coming weeks. Let's move to our third
• 14:38
  game, the Falcons at the Saints. Falcons absolutely
• 14:44
  showing up. 20 years after they did almost the
• 14:47
  same thing in the Superdome after Hurricane Katrina.
• 14:51
  45 -24 over the Saints. Man, they absolutely
• 14:55
  lit it up. I mean, Bijan is just a different
• 14:57
  beast, like we saw with Kenneth Walker. I mean,
• 15:00
  it's truly, when you have a playmaker, Jameer
• 15:03
  Gibbs is another one. When you have a playmaker
• 15:04
  in that backfield, I can just... Do anything
• 15:06
  you need them to do. Just a complete game changer.
• 15:09
  But going into a tough environment and being
• 15:11
  able to put on a show like that, I think we actually
• 15:14
  talk about the Falcons in our preview episode.
• 15:16
  We do because they play your flock. We'll touch
• 15:21
  on that specific situation later, but I imagine
• 15:24
  you may be a little bit more nervous after this
• 15:28
  game or no? I'm not telling you that. That's
• 15:30
  fine. At least not right now. Fair enough. What
• 15:35
  did you think of the Saints? Were they just trying
• 15:38
  to overdo it after they got behind, or what was
• 15:41
  their demise? I think just trying to play catch
• 15:46
  -up. Yeah, right. And that allowed Atlanta to
• 15:51
  be like, all right, they're going to be throwing
• 15:53
  the ball. Let's keep rushing the passer, rushing
• 15:57
  the passer, getting pressure. I mean, Tyler Shuck
• 16:00
  still played a pretty good game. They're one
• 16:07
  -dimensional. Their defense kind of put them
• 16:09
  in a tough situation, and just trying to play
• 16:13
  catch -up in a shootout like that is super tough
• 16:17
  to do. I mean, their entire first half is just
• 16:20
  abysmal, too. I look at stuff like... uh three
• 16:24
  plays for only four yards and that was your drive
• 16:27
  three plays 54 yards you know at least that was
• 16:30
  a touchdown but then another one play two yards
• 16:32
  you know this is not not long drives at all not
• 16:35
  able to sustain any any sort of offense um well
• 16:39
  they get no rhythm going they were on the bench
• 16:41
  the whole time because Atlanta did exactly I
• 16:44
  remember you talked about last week of what the
• 16:47
  difference makers I do you want the Falcons right
• 16:50
  If I remember right? You don't even remember.
• 16:53
  Great question. Did you write it down? But the
• 16:55
  Saints rushed defense versus Atlanta's rush offense.
• 17:00
  And that's what you brought up. And literally,
• 17:02
  from the first play of the game, he answered
• 17:06
  the question. And they were playing catch up
• 17:08
  the whole game. I mean, the Saints have always
• 17:10
  been behind pretty much in the fourth quarters.
• 17:12
  And they've had nice comebacks for a couple Ws.
• 17:15
  But they just fell way too far behind. And, I
• 17:18
  mean. They just kept pounding the ball. They
• 17:21
  had 35 carries for 205 yards. I mean, it's tough.
• 17:25
  Yeah. I mean, New Orleans' rush defense just
• 17:28
  couldn't stop them all day. So it was a blowout.
• 17:33
  I bet Kevin Stefanski feels good to be a head
• 17:38
  coach for a team that actually has a lot more
• 17:43
  talent. I don't want to say that the Cleveland
• 17:44
  Browns never had any talent, but I think offensively,
• 17:47
  this Atlanta team, has had way more talent than
• 17:51
  he's probably ever had in his tenure i would
• 17:54
  agree with that at least offensively yeah for
• 17:55
  sure and we're seeing him scheme and use bijan
• 18:00
  uh a lot and effectively and that's kind of what
• 18:04
  we always call and ask like these coaches to
• 18:07
  do and it's like hey it's bijan they're very
• 18:08
  dynamic why are you not giving giving him the
• 18:11
  ball more and he's doing exactly that i also
• 18:14
  don't want to forget about brian robinson to
• 18:16
  the other the other b robinson because i mean
• 18:19
  the b robs right now that might be the new jameer
• 18:22
  gibbs david montgomery not not in the same style
• 18:25
  but in the same but in the sense of uh fans you
• 18:27
  know great two you know double -headed monster
• 18:31
  at running back right now they've been able to
• 18:33
  do it almost every week this year so it's That's
• 18:36
  been fun to watch. Again, not going to be fun
• 18:38
  for you this weekend potentially, but we'll touch
• 18:40
  on that. Don't forget to check out the preview,
• 18:42
  week five preview episode, where Jake will tell
• 18:45
  us that he is picking the Falcons over the flock.
• 18:48
  Let's move into our fourth game. Speaking of
• 18:50
  the flock, Titans traveled to you, your boys
• 18:53
  here this weekend. And don't get me wrong. Don't
• 18:56
  get me wrong. The flock won 24 -18. Yeah, Titans
• 18:58
  defense showed up. Tale of two different halves,
• 19:03
  though, too, because Lamar out. Out in the second
• 19:06
  half with the ankle sprain right at the end of
• 19:11
  the half. And then putting up a goose egg. So
• 19:15
  they just kind of survived. Yeah. It was not
• 19:19
  a pretty second half to watch. That first half,
• 19:22
  they're super dynamic. It looks like it's going
• 19:25
  to be 40 to nothing in the first half. Just goes
• 19:29
  to show you what a difference having Lamar makes
• 19:32
  for this team. I don't Tyler, Tyler Huntley,
• 19:38
  like manage the game is like, all right, don't
• 19:41
  lose it for us. And I got nervous towards the
• 19:44
  end where I thought that they were going to,
• 19:46
  they were coming back. Cause it's just like over
• 19:49
  the last, I think three or four years, if there's
• 19:52
  anyone that's not going to get an onside kick,
• 19:54
  it's going to like the Ravens are going to be
• 19:56
  the team. That's not going to come. recover that
• 19:59
  onside kick what does that call like the harbaugh
• 20:01
  syndrome or something like that well yeah it's
• 20:03
  the the the m &t bank syndrome like okay losing
• 20:07
  i remember seeing some some flock fans talk about
• 20:10
  that yeah it it was a tough watch um the other
• 20:14
  the other on the other side of the ball defensively
• 20:17
  continuing to like miss tackles trey hendrickson's
• 20:21
  been out because he had surgery on his broken
• 20:22
  finger so i think we we notice an impact or we
• 20:28
  notice his presence not being there when it comes
• 20:31
  to that front four getting pressure on any quarterback.
• 20:37
  So downside there. And then they were just undisciplined
• 20:40
  over the course of the entire game. 13 penalties,
• 20:43
  like over 130 total yards in penalties. Yeah,
• 20:46
  that's killer. Like, yeah, the fact that they
• 20:49
  were able to survive all of those things, just
• 20:52
  like. That was a game you could easily have lost
• 20:55
  of all the mistakes and the injuries that piled
• 20:58
  up. Yep. Yeah, I didn't get to see this game.
• 21:02
  I kind of watched some highlights of it. But
• 21:04
  I have Lamar and Henry in fantasy. So my eye
• 21:07
  was on it as the little ticker was moving through
• 21:10
  my phone. Rob's like, why am I not getting points?
• 21:13
  Pretty much, you know. But just keeping an eye
• 21:16
  on it. I just think that Tennessee just can't
• 21:18
  run the ball right now. So it's really hard for
• 21:20
  Cam Moore to be effective. um he played i don't
• 21:24
  know okay he's still i think seeing ghosts and
• 21:27
  missing throws and not trusting what he's seeing
• 21:29
  kind of that like you know any young quarterback
• 21:32
  especially when you don't have a run game those
• 21:34
  edges are coming hard at you so but yeah well
• 21:38
  who's not a young quarterback is tyler huntley
• 21:40
  and how long has he been playing for the baltimore
• 21:42
  ravens now uh on and off for four years now five
• 21:46
  years so i just feel like He knows the system.
• 21:49
  I feel like, don't get me right. That's what
• 21:50
  I'm saying. He knows the system. So why does
• 21:53
  it feel like they, it seems like the Ravens felt
• 21:56
  like they had to rely on Derrick Henry in that
• 22:00
  second half way too much. And it seemed like
• 22:03
  the. The playbook got maybe a little simplified.
• 22:05
  Got a little tight. When I feel like it shouldn't
• 22:07
  have to be, though. Like, Tyler Huntley has showed
• 22:09
  us time and time again. That's a fair question.
• 22:10
  That he's a solid quarterback in this league.
• 22:13
  So, I don't understand. He's not starting for
• 22:16
  a reason, right? But why does it feel like it
• 22:20
  just. Nine attempts. They did kind of shorten
• 22:23
  that playbook a little bit for him. And try to
• 22:25
  just pound King Henry. Don't get me wrong. You
• 22:27
  got Derrick Henry in the backfield. But there's
• 22:29
  so many. You go through some of those drives.
• 22:31
  No gain, no gain, no gain. Man, just let Tyler
• 22:35
  Huntley eat a little bit. But you've been watching
• 22:39
  him a lot longer, so that's why I'm curious.
• 22:41
  And I think next week we'll see if Huntley plays.
• 22:45
  Probably. Which is a good chance right now. Tune
• 22:48
  in to the next episode. It's like if Huntley
• 22:51
  plays, I think he'll be better prepared to run
• 22:54
  the offense. So we'll probably see him. playing
• 22:59
  a little bit more, like, freer and looser versus,
• 23:02
  I think, it was more along the lines, hand the
• 23:06
  ball off to Henry. Don't lose the game. Let's
• 23:08
  not lose the game. Because he did make a couple
• 23:10
  of big throws to keep some drives alive. So,
• 23:13
  like, a Jameis Winston situation when he had
• 23:15
  to go in, similar. And we had Tyler Loop miss
• 23:18
  a 40 -yard field goal, which inexcusable. Right,
• 23:21
  which is big. When he nailed the 64 at the end
• 23:24
  of the half. I have no fantasy, too, just FYI.
• 23:26
  Yeah. So, some ink. inconsistency there. Quick,
• 23:30
  trade all of your Ravens. Right on. No. Yeah,
• 23:35
  it was a tough game to watch. Got out of there
• 23:37
  with a W. Yeah, we'll take it. Not pretty. But
• 23:40
  a W is a W. And healthy. Did you guys get out
• 23:43
  healthy? Absolutely not. Other than Lamar. Maybe
• 23:48
  we can get into, I guess. In the next episode.
• 23:51
  In our next episode. I've been trying to avoid
• 23:53
  injury conversations. It's tough, though. I know.
• 23:56
  Because it's relevant to the game. I understand.
• 23:58
  But we do have a whole other episode that is
• 24:00
  dedicated to injuries and news from around the
• 24:03
  league. It is called our Tent Talk episode. So
• 24:05
  make sure you go and check that out. The Titans
• 24:08
  have a home. game now against the also winless
• 24:12
  Texans. That should have been our game. What
• 24:16
  are we doing? I mean, I'd imagine the Texans
• 24:19
  are finally able to do something because they've
• 24:22
  played some tough teams and hung around in at
• 24:24
  least two of those games. They're the best 0
• 24:27
  -4 team that I can remember in a while. I agree.
• 24:30
  We'll get to the next episode because that's
• 24:32
  actually a question I have in there. Anyway,
• 24:34
  and then the Titans travel to the Colts. That's
• 24:36
  going to be tough. And then home against the
• 24:38
  Cleveland Browns, which honestly is going to
• 24:40
  be tough. I might hop on the Cleveland Browns
• 24:42
  wagon this year, but we'll see. Anyway, let's
• 24:45
  close out this episode with that garbage I just
• 24:47
  said right there. Jake, thanks for being here,
• 24:50
