2:21
The Colts blew out the Dolphins 33 to 8 to win their first week
2:26
one games since the 2013 season. Daniel Jones had a stellar debut
2:32
for the Colts with 272 passing yards, a 75.8% completion
2:38
percentage, 26 rushing yards and three total touchdowns.
2:43
Only Danny Dimes and Peyton Manning are the only
2:46
quarterbacks Colt quarterbacks in modern era to lead scoring
2:51
drives on their first 7 possessions of a game.
2:55
The Colts were also the first team since 1978 to score on
3:01
every offensive possession in the game.
3:03
Meanwhile in Washington, the Giants and Daniel Jones less
3:07
offense of Brian Dabel now led by 1:00 and all the one and only
3:12
Russell Wilson did absolutely nothing all day against the
3:16
Commanders, falling to them 21 to 6.
3:19
Wilson had a rough Giants debut with just 168 passing yard and a
3:24
completion percentage of 46%. The Giants entire offensive line
3:28
was rated below 66 in PFF and was third worst in the league,
3:35
only above the Texans and the Dolphins.
3:38
Russell Wilson was also the Giants leading rusher in the
3:43
game with 44 yards. Tyrone Tracy, junior Devon
3:47
Singletary and rookie Cam Scataboo combined for only 30
3:53
total rushing yards. Despite the rough outing, Brian
3:57
Gable says he still has confidence in Russell Wilson as
4:00
his starting quarterback in Week 2 versus the Cowboys.
4:04
As first round pick, Jackson Dart waits for his opportunity
4:10
opportunity to eventually take over.
4:12
Jackson Dart ladies and gentlemen.
4:14
And I'll get into the Giants 1st and then I'll get into the Colts
4:17
because I am. You know what I feel about the
4:19
Colts and you know what I feel about Danny Dimes.
4:21
Jackson Dart is going to get his chance probably in week five,
4:25
Week 6, they're going to run with Russell Wilson.
4:28
When this team starts to fall out, which I believe after Week
4:33
3, they're going to go with the young kid.
4:36
They're going to see what Jackson Dart is, and I think
4:37
Jackson Dart is special. You think it really waits that
4:41
long? I think it's going to, it's
4:43
going to have to because Jackson don't.
4:44
You don't want to put him in. You don't want to put him in the
4:47
brush where it's going to set on fire.
4:50
And, and to me, this is an offensive line that's not very
4:53
good. We, we, we understand what this
4:56
offensive line is. I don't want to hear how good
4:59
this guy played in the preseason and what at what the media is
5:02
saying about what this guy is doing during practice.
5:05
You saw against a commander's team.
5:07
It is a good defense. The commander's defense is good.
5:09
Are they a great defense? They're not.
5:11
And the fact that they couldn't protect Russell Wilson, Russell
5:14
Wilson was running for dear life.
5:16
It could tell you that the Giants are going to have a long,
5:18
long, long year at that front. Their front 5 is going to have
5:22
they don't have anything. They're, they're center, who
5:25
they drafted a couple of years ago at in the second round
5:27
hasn't been really good. They're they're guards, they're
5:30
tackles. It's just been terrible.
5:32
Brown can't stay healthy. I I mean, this is a bad
5:35
offensive line. I'll tell you what the Giants
5:37
did show defense. They've got some good young
5:41
players at that line. I, I think Thibodeau played
5:44
pretty well. They really, he really showed
5:45
himself to be a good, you know, a better than he was over the
5:48
last two seasons. They're young pass rusher that
5:51
they drafted at #3 look pretty damn good too.
5:55
Penn State alumni. So we, we understand what he's
5:58
going to be and what the Giants believe he's going to be.
6:01
You you saw it. His spin move is sensational.
6:03
I I and, and their secondary played a lot better than I
6:06
thought they were going to play. They actually put pressure on
6:08
Jamie Daniels. Jamie Daniels did not have one
6:11
of his best days. He really didn't.
6:13
I I just thought that the commanders are just better or
6:17
the a better defensively than the Giants are offensively.
6:21
The Giants and by the way, Malik neighbors fighting on the
6:24
sidelines and arguing with the coaching staff, that's a problem
6:28
and that's going to cause a big problem.
6:29
We saw this with Odell Beckham and Tom Coughlin.
6:32
That's not a good sign for Brian Gable guys.
6:35
If if Giant fans want Brian Gable to come back and you see
6:38
Malik neighbors complaining and and doing the things that he was
6:41
doing on the sidelines. Not saying that he's not seen
6:44
the ball enough or the IT just looked like Malik neighbors.
6:47
His head was not in the game. His head was down.
6:50
Russell Wilson was trying to talk to him coaching staff.
6:53
Dabel was trying to speak to him.
6:55
You saw there was a little scruffle, you know, on the
6:58
sidelines. That's not a good sign when your
6:59
star wide receiver is is arguing with the coaching staff.
7:03
So I I don't know where this is going.
7:06
You see it right here in the video.
7:07
He's not very happy. So Russell Wilson, he's not the
7:12
guy of the future. I know he's Sierra's husband and
7:14
that's why a lot of people don't like him.
7:16
And we've heard stories that some, some of the players have
7:19
had problems with Russell Wilson everywhere he's gone because
7:21
he's dated, he's married to a, a superstar, global superstar.
7:25
I, I, I think that Russell Wilson has been more of a leader
7:29
with the Giants than I've ever seen him with the Broncos, ever
7:32
seen him with Pittsburgh, ever seen him with Seattle.
7:34
So that says a lot about Russell Wilson, his transition, because
7:37
he's not a number to me. He's not a number one guy
7:39
anymore. The Giants, the Giants were
7:42
roughed up. They have no offense.
7:44
They have no running game. And by the way, who the hell
7:47
thought that Tyron Tracy Junior was going to be a good running
7:50
back? I don't know what the Giants
7:52
were thinking going into the season with a guy that I know
7:55
everybody says had a good season last year.
7:57
He wasn't a number in Devon Singletary Stakes.
8:00
OK, They don't have a running back.
8:02
They should have went into the draft and and they should have
8:05
gotten themselves at least a better running back in the third
8:10
or fourth round. There were a couple of really
8:11
good running backs that they could have picked up.
8:14
We saw Blue go to the Cowboys. We haven't even seen Blue yet
8:17
because Williams was running the ball in Week 1.
8:19
But you're going to see Blue. I think he's going to be fun to
8:21
watch. I think the Giants need another
8:25
type of rusher, another guy that can open up the field for the
8:28
wide receivers. And you see what The Jets are
8:30
doing. And I I just think the Giants
8:32
are not a very good team. They're not very, very well
8:35
coached. I what's going to keep Brian
8:38
Dabel his job and Joe Shane their job is what Jackson Dart
8:42
is going to be when he steps on a football field.
8:44
If he could pull pull off some wins and and show people why the
8:47
giants moved up to get him like I believe he could.
8:51
Maybe they keep their jobs for another year.
8:52
But it's not a good sign speedy when Dabel is fighting with the
8:58
one and only Malik neighbors. So it's.
9:01
Week 1, yeah. But Jabba, this is the same
9:03
coach that in 2023 got a lot of other assistant coaches saying
9:06
they wanted to step away because Brian Dabel was having anger
9:09
management in his shoes, allegedly.
9:11
So now he's trying to take it out on players.
9:12
That Malik Neighbors was far from the problem in that game.
9:15
He had a good game. He had five catches, 71 yards,
9:17
talking a flash, but he had a good game.
9:20
And like Errol was saying, the defensive played well enough to
9:22
keep them in that game. They did especially played very
9:25
well. Especially in the front seven, I
9:26
was worried about them trying. To two sacks.
9:28
Burns had two sacks. I was worried about trying to
9:30
them, trying to contain Jayden Daniels running.
9:32
They didn't did a great job at that.
9:33
You saw that be kind of a vintage like the bone came from
9:37
the Titans. He came from a vintage Mike
9:38
Vrabel Titans defense and the Patriots defense doing a great
9:41
job containing the running quarterbacks.
9:43
Debo Samuel had a nice game and ertz had a nice game, but they
9:45
did a good job of Mclaurin. So they.
9:47
Had 168 passing yards and at one point it was only, if I'm not
9:51
mistaken, 14 to 6. And the Giants, it was in the
9:54
third quarter. The Giants still had a chance to
9:56
win the game and come back in the game.
9:58
That's the the Washington Commanders did not play great
10:01
offensively. They couldn't run the ball.
10:03
You could see the loss of Brian Robertson junior, I mean, him
10:06
going to San Francisco, you seen the that it's affected them.
10:10
And and again, I just don't know if Washington, I'll tell you
10:13
this, Debo Samuel is a beast. That guy, if he stays healthy,
10:19
he could change that offense. He was everything.
10:22
He was running the ball, he was catching the ball.
10:25
Mclaurin was nowhere to be found in the game, but Debo Samuel was
10:28
everywhere. I mean, if you had him on your
10:30
fantasy team and some fantasy leagues, he had 25 points.
10:33
He was unbelievable. He really was sensational.
10:36
He was the only guy that really stood out to me on the
10:39
commanders and their defense. Of course their defense is
10:41
sensational. Dan Quinn is one of the best
10:43
defensive minds in the NFL, but Jamie Daniels did not have a
10:46
great, great day. He did not.
10:48
And I have him on my fantasy team.
10:49
He did not. So I I, I know everybody thinks
10:52
that it could be a sophomore year for him.
10:55
I don't. I just think that, yeah.
10:57
But I'm going to tell you this job, the Giants defense is a lot
11:00
better than people think. Their front 7 is really good.
11:02
They got Adam. They they put a lot of pressure
11:05
on David Daniels. David Daniels was staying in the
11:07
pocket. He didn't want to get out of the
11:09
pocket because of the way the Giants were hitting him outside
11:12
of the pocket. Yeah, and also when you look at
11:14
the offensive line just not doing anything at all for
11:17
Russell Wilson, it definitely does not help when it comes to
11:19
that. And the running abilities to the
11:21
inside is just not there either. And one of the first
11:23
conversations I ever had with Fish, like about a month when he
11:25
joined the show, was the about guards being used as tackle.
11:29
I think we were focused on as they do mainly, but now they
11:31
were doing it with James Hudson to when Andrew Thomas is hurt.
11:34
It just looked broken on the offensive line.
11:36
Really. Everybody and Schmidt's like you
11:37
were saying, Errol, he had a good rookie year.
11:39
Since then, he's kind of regressed.
11:40
And just everyone else I think is at this point just trying to
11:43
hell hold their own. So here's here's my breakdown.
11:48
They were really good on defense, but Washington's
11:51
defense is better. And Washington's defense made
11:54
the Giants offense look like a AJV team.
11:57
It was unbelievable. Russell Wilson was just throwing
12:00
up like Hail Marys and hoping neighbors would come down with
12:03
it. And neighbors, neighbors did
12:05
would come down with it because he's really great.
12:07
And I would say Russell Wilson's ball is a very catchable ball.
12:11
It definitely is. It's not like it's hard to catch
12:15
that ball. He throws a good ball, except
12:19
he's washed up. He's not the same guy.
12:21
He can't get out of the pocket the same way he used to.
12:23
He's not elusive the same way he used to and he doesn't get it.
12:26
Push it down field in the same way while he's on the run in
12:29
like a productive way. He'll Chuck it.
12:32
He'll Chuck it deep and hope for the best.
12:35
I I mean, that's better than what we saw last year.
12:38
Well. Fish.
12:39
How about that one towards in the goal line when he threw an
12:42
absolute piss rocket when there was like there was no.
12:45
Feel he was like 8 yards apart. And I was like, what are we
12:49
doing here? And then he does this rocket.
12:51
Something that just makes no sense and plays losing football.
12:55
And that's what the Steelers saw last year.
12:56
That's why they got rid of him. And I'm pretty sure the Giants
12:59
have him just for enough time until they think Jackson darts
13:03
ready and then they'll probably, if it's before the trade
13:06
deadline, they'll see if someone wants them and get rid of them
13:09
or cut them and let James be the back.
13:11
Week 5 or Week 6, you'll see Jackson guard I I, I believe
13:14
it's going to take a little bit of time.
13:16
They don't want to put them in that brush fire because it's
13:19
going to be a brush fire. The Giants are not going to be
13:21
good this year. I mean, it's pretty obvious that
13:23
offensive line is not going to hold up.
13:25
It's not good. Washington might have, you know,
13:27
one of the top five defensive tackle pairs in all football.
13:30
Oh yeah, good. They're sensational, Yeah.
13:32
But with the center guard, guard the Giants have, I mean, Runyon,
13:35
I mean, when they paid a lot of money for a guy who's always
13:38
been a league average guard in Runyon.
13:40
And I would say maybe he's a little bit below the league
13:42
average at this point. Van Rhoden, Long Island's
13:45
greatest. You know what I feel about him?
13:48
He's. Really bad, and I think you may
13:50
see Evan Neil sooner than later at that other guard spot.
13:54
Illuminor wasn't great in the game.
13:56
I mean, Illuminor is the guy they brought in.
13:58
He was good last season at right tackle.
14:00
I don't think he was great. Andrew Thomas should be back
14:02
soon, theoretically from the list.
14:05
Rank injury so we don't have to see Hudson got, for God's sake,
14:08
much longer. I think Isudo's still on the
14:10
rise. I said brown.
14:11
Yeah. No, he's still there, I just
14:12
say. I said brown, Andrew Thomas.
14:14
That's what I meant. I meant I said brown.
14:17
I don't know why, he said. Yeah.
14:18
So he's got, you know, like the middle of the foot injury they
14:20
had surgery on. I guess it just takes a long
14:22
time to come back from. He can't stay healthy.
14:25
And that's the problem with Andrew Thomas is making a lot of
14:27
money and he just doesn't play enough.
14:30
And that's a big problem for the New York Giants.
14:31
And I think the Giants are going to have a problem in the
14:35
offseason because are they going to keep Andrew Thomas if he
14:38
can't come back and he can't stay healthy?
14:40
Do the Giants decide, you know, to part ways and move move away
14:44
from him? It does hurt their cap.
14:46
And I don't know what it how it affects their cap next year if
14:49
they decide to drop him. But he's not a guy that you can
14:51
depend on. And, and the Giants need to go
14:53
and, and find themselves a left tackle that's going to be play,
14:56
be able to play week in and week out.
14:58
They don't have one and well. Let's see, you know, like, maybe
15:01
he comes back and it's just like a week or two and then he's back
15:04
to full strength because he's a million times better, yeah than
15:07
anyone else on that entire offense.
15:09
One of the It's one of the top three left tackles in football,
15:12
1,000,000. Times better.
15:14
I would say Schmidt's is this is his last chance at center.
15:17
I am not impressed. I think he tried to do the tush
15:20
push once and hurt his back real bad.
15:22
Speedy if you remember that he was out for like a good number
15:25
of weeks and he was just never the same when he came back.
15:27
I don't know. I that guy, I thought I was very
15:30
excited about him coming out of college.
15:32
I was like, oh, this Big 10 Minnesota guy and.
15:35
He hasn't been good. It's not good.
15:36
No, he hasn't been good. And they?
15:38
Need to find someone that can push the pocket in the middle
15:40
because they don't. Maybe, maybe they should move
15:43
Evan Neil to the center position.
15:46
They've moved him everywhere else.
15:48
Look, look, I think he he might end up playing.
15:50
Guard. He's going to get a guy killed
15:51
every once in a while. I don't know man, I if I was
15:55
you. Said you, said Liz Frank.
15:57
That's what ended Chin Ming Wong's career.
15:59
Yeah. So it's like a it's, it takes a
16:01
while to come back from. I don't know if they improved
16:04
the surgery since, you know, 15 years ago.
16:07
I would imagine they have a little bit at least, but they
16:09
expect him back. He's a big guy with bad feet
16:12
though. And that's that's the thing that
16:14
that bothers you. If he was having injuries like
16:16
he tore his PEC or something, that's one thing you know, but
16:19
he's keeps having foot injuries and it's and that slows you
16:22
down, that makes you a lesser, lesser player over time.
16:25
I. I think also, and I know Giant
16:28
fans probably are a little discouraged because of the game
16:31
and, and and the way the way some of the the team showed up.
16:34
I think there are some bright things to say about some of the
16:37
young defensive players that the Giants have.
16:39
So I, I think that you should be excited for a Malik neighbors
16:43
going and attacking Brian Dabel on the sidelines.
16:45
That's not a good sign for Brian Dabel keeping his job.
16:48
Usually when you see something like that, when you have a guy
16:51
like Malik neighbors complaining and arguing with the head coach
16:54
on the sidelines means it's it could be bye bye time for Brian
16:57
Dabal. So it doesn't look good.
16:59
Well. Errol, there's one thing that's
17:00
even bigger that's going to be bye bye for him if Daniel Jones
17:03
wins comeback Player of the year.
17:05
Well, I want to see Brian. Dabal is being fired halfway
17:08
through this season because if Daniel Jones is good, then it's
17:12
Brian Dabal for sure that is bad.
17:15
First, he. Has to go.
17:16
First of all, I want to give a shout out to me because I was
17:20
the one. I don't know.
17:20
That's true. Danny Dimes since he was
17:24
drafted, I think Danny Dimes is a good quarterback.
17:28
He's put in a very good position with a very good offensive line.
17:31
Quint Nelson is one of the best offensive lineman in football.
17:34
He's an all pro player. He's dominant and this line when
17:37
healthy is one of the best offensive lines in football, top
17:40
five. So you got a chance to see what
17:42
Daniel Jones could do. He can run outside of the
17:44
pocket. He's a lot faster, little doofy,
17:46
but a lot faster than he looks and he can make every single
17:49
throw. Now, does he have an arm?
17:51
No, he's not Josh Allen. He's not Pat Mahomes.
17:55
He's not any of those guys. But he can throw the 30 and 25
17:59
yard passes. You saw what he did with
18:01
Pittman. You saw that pass, that
18:02
touchdown pass that he had with Pittman.
18:04
He can make every throw over the shoulder passes.
18:07
If he can play like this and he can stay in the pocket and make
18:11
those throws, Indianapolis could win the division.
18:15
Definitely the defense. Indianapolis has a more
18:19
underrated defense than anybody could really expect them to be.
18:23
Last year there, there is up. They were up and down, but they
18:26
have some good young players in their secondary.
18:29
They've got a pass rush. They can they can put pressure
18:31
on the quarterback and and again, they have weapons.
18:34
This is not a bad team. Taylor is a good running back.
18:37
Pittman is a good wide receiver. Downs can catch the balls in #2
18:42
this is not, not a bad team. So, yeah.
18:46
And Stiken's a great coach and he's a great offense of mine.
18:50
You saw what he did with Philadelphia, and he fits like a
18:53
glove in Stiken's offense. Daniel Jones is a a guy that you
18:57
don't need to throw the ball all the time, can move outside of
18:59
the pocket, can make the throw on the run.
19:02
He could do all that stuff. Danny Dons is going to have a
19:04
lot better season than anybody thought he was going to have.
19:07
He can start for this team. I, I, I like the fact that Riley
19:11
Leonard could be the future sitting behind Daniel Jones.
19:14
They have a good connection. We've had Riley on the show and
19:17
Riley said that him and Daniel Jones have spoken.
19:19
They both play for Duke. They, they, they've trained in
19:22
the same camp together. And Riley says that he looks up
19:25
to Daniel Jones. So it would be a nice connection
19:28
to watch Riley for the next two or three years, sit behind
19:31
Daniel Jones and develop and maybe in the future take over
19:35
for Daniel Jones. This is a this is a great story,
19:37
ladies and gentlemen, and for you dying fans, Bah humbug.
19:41
I'm loving it. It's a present for me to you.
19:44
I love Daniel Jones, Danny Dons baby Danny Dimes.
19:48
You like that? He.
19:49
He may have just beat an Owen 17 team, though.
19:52
Come on, man, I don't care. What's up the Browns?
19:55
I don't care. Might be that bad.
19:57
I don't care. The numbers show you that he was
20:00
good. He was good at.
20:02
I don't care how bad the defense was.
20:03
And the Giants faced a really good defense.
20:05
Who's Danny playing next week? Well, I just want to see a
20:09
little more sample size arrow. I need more sample.
20:12
When he when he samples everything and, and he gives you
20:15
that little mozzarella cheese on, on your, your, your French
20:19
fries. Well, then ladies and gentlemen,
20:21
you're going to have to give me a pat on the back because I told
20:24
you fans that Daniel Jones is a quarterback.
20:27
And it's like, is he a superstar quarterback?
20:29
No, but he's a capable quarterback.
20:31
Sam Donald's a capable quarterback.
20:33
Geno Smith is a capable quarterback.
20:35
I've been saying this for years. Who's Broncos?
20:38
There you go. That'll.
20:39
Be the test. There you go.
20:40
There's a test. If he could go out there and
20:42
play good defense. And I'm going to tell you this
20:44
right now, even if they lose against the Broncos and he puts
20:47
up numbers, I don't want to hear any crying.
20:49
I want to tell you, Daniel, Daniel Jones is going to get
20:52
you. I think if you're if you you own
20:55
him your fantasy league, he's going to be able to run.
20:58
So as long as he's playing, he's going to get you 25 points a
21:01
week on your fantasy team, depending on if you're PPR
21:04
league or whatever the hell you league you're playing, he's
21:05
going to be able to get you those points.
21:07
He can run, he could throw, he can dance.
21:10
As I always say, I like Victor Cruz.
21:12
I, I I could dance like Victor. I don't know if Danny Dons could
21:15
do that. Who's Danny Dons sleeping with?
21:16
That's what I want to know. I'm just kidding.
21:18
Any girl good job is head. He just popped right up.
21:22
Where did that come from? I.
21:24
Was like I might have to look that up.
21:27
No, it's arrows, girl. Is is he still with her?
21:30
No. That was just, I think, a hoax.
21:31
I don't know if it's a hoax. I mean, that was a great story,
21:34
guys. I'm.
21:35
Sure you enjoyed it? I did.
21:36
I mean, I don't know if he he really was getting a sack with
21:40
her, but if he was, I got to give him pat on the back.
21:43
I got to give him some, you know, some props.
21:45
I saw him. He she was actually hosting
21:48
Friday's show in Brazil, wasn't she was in Brazil.
21:51
Cam Newton. Cam Newton, by the way, One of
21:53
the ugliest hats I've ever seen, by the way.
21:55
Dude, his I. Mean, I get he has a lot of
21:58
hats, but some of them are atrocious.
22:00
Ugly hat man. What is he?
22:01
More than some? Just some.
22:03
And I bet honestly, like I know he's getting some of them for
22:06
free probably, but I bet he's bought some.
22:08
I said like I wouldn't wipe my butt with but they probably cost
22:12
like 6789 a $1000. I should.
22:19
I could make a dude wipes hat and that'd be.
22:21
There you go, we should get a Dude Wipes hat.
22:23
I think that would fit perfectly.
22:25
Anyways, ladies and gentlemen, where our guest is waiting my
22:28
golf clap of the day. This deserves a golf clap.
22:33
No doubt golf. Clap Golf.
22:38
Clap, all right, my golf clap of the day.
22:39
I was thinking Carmelo Anthony being inducted in the Hall of
22:42
Fame. No, I, but I am going
22:43
basketball, ladies and gentlemen and I, this is a curveball for
22:47
you guys. Ladies and gentlemen, Ben
22:49
Simmons, Yes, turn down a contract offer with the New York
22:54
Knicks. Per Mark Stein, New York offered
22:57
Simmons in a one year minimum deal, but former All Star passed
23:02
on hoping he would get more. What does that smell, ladies and
23:06
gentlemen? Well, it smells.
23:07
Good grief. Thank God he didn't take that
23:11
contract. I don't want to see him on my
23:12
bench. I don't want to see him in
23:14
Madison Square Garden. I don't want to see him on my
23:16
God damn court. I don't want to see him.
23:18
I'm so happy as a Nick fan that this man is not a part of my
23:23
roster. He's a cancer, he's a dud, and
23:26
he's definitely not like a glove, as you know.
23:29
What did he call Jim Carrey said.
23:31
Like a glove. He doesn't fit like a glove.
23:34
We got to ask OJ on that one. Anyways, my golf clap of the day
23:37
goes to the New York Knicks. Thank God he did not choose the
23:42
New York Knicks. So golf clap of the day, baby.
23:45
Golf clap of the day. Anyways, speedy stat of the
23:48
week. The Speedy.
23:51
Well, you may run like me, but you hit like stat of the week.
23:58
All. Right fish, you'll definitely
24:02
like this one this week and believe it or not, I am actually
24:05
going to give positive praise to a Chargers player in a plot
24:09
twist and that is Joe Alt Joe Alt obviously turning into one
24:12
of the best tackles in the league already and this was his
24:15
first game at left tackle, had the highest pass blocking grade
24:18
for any starting offensive tackle ever in week one since
24:21
the advanced sets. The Next Gen. sets started
24:24
getting tracked. A 94 point 91.4 pass blocking
24:27
grade 41 pass blocking snaps which is high for a Greg Roman
24:30
offense and 0 pressure is 100% production store 99%.
24:35
Athletic score is the highest ever for an offensive tackle in
24:39
the next Gen. sets era and it was his first game ever playing
24:41
left tackle. He was a right tackle last year
24:43
when Slater was healthy. I love Bolt and and we've seen
24:46
what he can be and we've seen him in college.
24:47
He was a top draft pick. He's expected to be this type of
24:51
player now. The fact that he jumped from
24:53
right tackle to left tackle after Slater gone, he went out
24:57
early. It didn't Remember, this was
24:59
early in the preseason. This guy went down and he's out
25:02
for the season. This guy got and Slater just got
25:04
a big, huge contract from the Chargers and now he's out for
25:07
the season. This is the second injury.
25:09
This this reminds me of Elijah Vera Tucker, but Elijah Vera
25:11
Tucker didn't get a contract. Slater got a contract and now
25:14
he's out for a full season. But Joe Alt is a sensational
25:17
player. He's going to be a sensational
25:20
tackle. And maybe when Slater comes
25:21
back, you move him to right tackle and leave Alt there,
25:23
right? Maybe that's the way to do it
25:25
because Slater might might be more healthier than that
25:28
position than playing the left tackle position.
25:30
That's what I would think. I mean, if old continues doing
25:33
what he's doing right now, just like I think Tipman, if Tipman
25:36
plays well at the guard position, like he took over when
25:39
when with the injury, his rookie season and his PFF was so high,
25:45
I think that's what I think that's what they need to do.
25:47
I think Tipman should stay at the guard position and The Jets
25:50
go first center and Alt should stay at the left tackle
25:52
position. It's a great story and and I
25:54
love Joelt. Congratulations to him.
25:57
You know the only reason Joe Alt plays right tackle is because
26:00
they had a top five left tackle in the league when they drafted
26:03
him because he was a left tackle in college.
26:05
He was the best left tackle in college that year and the two in
26:09
the year before that as well. He's incredible.
26:11
He's the only lineman Speedy I you were talking about earlier
26:14
tonight with the Colts, Quentin Nelson.
26:17
I actually was that year. That's the year that the Giants
26:20
took Saquon at two. I was calling for them to trade
26:23
back to five to take Quentin Nelson and then get Nick Chubb
26:26
at the top of the second round, which I still think would have
26:29
been a better outcome than what ended up happening.
26:31
But at the same time, that's the last time an offensive lineman
26:36
got me like this. Pretty pumped up about like line
26:39
play Alt is this guy looks. Would you move Slater to your
26:43
right tackle position if Alt has it?
26:45
Alt. Time now when he comes back, yes
26:47
I agree with you because the only reason Alt wasn't there is
26:51
because you had a great one there.
26:53
But Alt might be the best in the world.
26:55
So. Over there, if he's only top
26:59
ten, I think that's what you do. Yeah.
27:01
All look unbelievable. Unbelievable.
27:03
And an old still has been pretty healthy, so if he.
27:08
Was young, yeah. So I agree with, I agree with
27:11
everything. And I was talking to I was
27:12
speaking to somebody about that. I didn't know the statistics,
27:15
but Alt was unbelievable, his first her first game at left
27:18
tackle. And I was speaking to a friend
27:20
of mine that's a Charger fan. And I said if Slater comes back
27:23
and all has like an all world season at the left tackle
27:26
position, do you move? Do you put Slater at the right
27:28
tackle position? Is Slater the highest paid right
27:30
tackle of all time? He might be because I think alt
27:34
is all world and he might be the best tackle in league.
27:37
Like you said, fish. I think it's sensational to
27:39
watch and by the way, I think the Chargers are going to be a
27:42
very hard team to beat this year.
27:44
I think Justin Herbert is going to be an MVP candidate.
27:47
As we saw in Week 1, he was sensational, so.
27:51
So that brings us to our favorite segment, doesn't it?
27:56
It's the whip around the whip. Whip, whip around.
28:05
I had to take a shit. I guess that's where Chop is
28:09
going. Or maybe or maybe his dogs doing
28:13
that. Let's start right where we What
28:16
happened right there? That's not the right one.
28:18
This is the right one, guys. Let's talk about the two early
28:22
games since you started with the Chargers and Joe Alt, let's pick
28:25
up with their 27 to 21 victory. Yeah, Justin freaking Herbert,
28:31
domination of the Chiefs defense in that game, including Chris
28:36
Jones diving inside, being undisciplined in the final play,
28:40
like mattered in the game, at least with Herbert with a very
28:43
awesome looking slide like he had been practicing that one to
28:47
seal the game against the Chiefs.
28:48
Mahomes look great. Not going to say he didn't.
28:51
Kelsey had a touchdown. It was wide open.
28:53
That was all Andy Reid, I think, but that was pretty impressive
28:57
game Meryl for for Harbaugh and the Chargers.
29:00
I think the Chargers, after watching the Broncos in Week 1,
29:04
I don't know if the Broncos are going to have enough offense
29:07
from what their defense showed us in Week 1, and that's going
29:10
to be a problem. I think the Chargers are good
29:12
defensively and I think they're good offensively.
29:14
They can run the ball. We saw that.
29:16
And and, and again, they're dangerous because what they can
29:20
do on the offensive line now, if Joel Alt is an all world left
29:23
tackle, that could be one of the better lines in all the
29:26
football. They're going to be able to run
29:28
behind him him and they're going to be able to throw with the
29:30
weapons that they have. And by the way, Allen is back
29:32
over there with the Chargers had a touchdown, played very well.
29:36
He's the blanket for Justin Herbert.
29:38
And you can see their trust and the combination that they have
29:41
over there. And I think it's going to open
29:42
up the field for them. And, and Johnston might have a
29:45
good season because Allen's there.
29:47
I think this could be a different offense than they were
29:49
last year. And I think they could be the
29:51
very good a very good team. And Jim Harbaugh, we all know he
29:55
is a good NFL coach. I, I I wouldn't be surprised if
29:59
they make a run in the playoffs. Yeah, the thing I was
30:01
questioning most with the Chargers was two things.
30:03
One, the obviously the outside receivers, because Quentin
30:05
Johnson's been very up and down, mostly down throughout his
30:08
career with a lot of drops, a lot of issues running routes.
30:10
He had two touchdowns in this game.
30:11
Can you keep it up? Will be a question.
30:13
And then their defense, it seemed like a natural regression
30:15
type thing for their defense, but they played very well
30:17
rushing the passer in that game, still doing a good job stopping
30:19
the run against the Chiefs, which obviously the Chiefs
30:21
running backs aren't great, but they still have a very good
30:23
offensive line. They want every battle that they
30:25
need. I think Allen takes the pressure
30:27
away from Johnson. That's what I think.
30:29
And I I think that's why I think Johnston is going to have a
30:31
better season this year because Allen is there and he's a leader
30:35
and and you can see the difference of this team when
30:38
he's on the football field. I love it.
30:39
And that's why I took Keenan Allen.
30:41
I think he's going to have closer to 1000 yards than people
30:44
think. He's that type of player, you.
30:45
Remember how big Jeff was on Quinton Johnson out of the
30:48
draft? He was thought as big he was to
30:49
be the next big thing. And a lot of these times these
30:51
bigger bodied receivers in today's game with these motion
30:53
offenses have not been able to develop.
30:55
But this is a good start for him in a year three to take a lead.
30:58
Trust coaching. Who's one of the best coaches in
31:01
the world? Jim Harbaugh and talking about.
31:05
Thickest glasses too, by the way.
31:08
Magnifying glasses. If it's favorite.
31:13
There's a guy who likes to wear a visor, sometimes backwards,
31:16
who coaches the Dallas Cowboys, and the Dallas Cowboys fell to
31:21
the Philadelphia Eagles defending champions 2420.
31:24
And what I would say was one of the dumbest football games I've
31:26
watched in a very, very long time.
31:29
No defense was played in the first half of that football
31:32
game. It just looked like they were
31:33
not ready to play either side. The Cowboys played man coverage
31:37
and left no one to guard hurt, so he scrambled all over the
31:40
place for a tune of 62 yards and two touchdowns.
31:43
Eagles were caught. You know they were leading the
31:46
whole way, but they were sloppy as hell and made lots of
31:49
mistakes and let the Cowboys hang around.
31:51
But lo and behold, not enough Eagles win.
31:54
I think what really stood out was Jalen Carter spitting on Dak
31:58
Prescott and getting thrown out of the game and could be
32:00
suspended for multiple games after the fact.
32:03
The NFL is going to investigate. It was just absolutely terrible
32:05
to watch and disrespectful to the game And some of the young
32:09
kids that are watching game number one on Thursday Night
32:11
Football watching the Eagles get their ring and and hoist their
32:15
their batter up as the champion. And then the first the first
32:19
play of the game of the 1st 2 plays of the game.
32:21
Jalen Carter, who's one of the best defensive players in the
32:24
league, spits on Dak Prescott and gets thrown out of the game
32:27
and affects the game. Some kid in college did it too.
32:30
No, what are we doing? I don't get it.
32:33
It's the the most disrespectful thing you can do to a football
32:36
game and and a football player. So, and, and I'll say this, I
32:40
think the Cowboys defense played a lot better than I thought they
32:42
were going to play. Losing a guy of Michael Parson's
32:46
stature and then showing up and playing as well as they did
32:48
against. Yeah, Hurts had a good game, but
32:51
a lot of the other players really didn't.
32:52
And I thought it was very impressive what the Cowboys did
32:55
and they had a chance to win. But CD Lamb, who the beef wanted
32:59
to blame Dak Prescott, which I thought he made two fantastic
33:03
passes. CD Lamb couldn't hold on to the
33:05
ball, but guess what? Cowboy fans want to blame Dak
33:09
Prescott for the loss. I, I, by the way, Dak played a
33:12
very good game. I was very impressed with Dak.
33:14
And even at the end of the game, handling it, the way he handled
33:18
it, especially the Jaylen Carter thing, very respectful and, and
33:21
something that you, you want your quarterback to do.
33:23
So I, I think the Cowboys are going to be a lot better than
33:26
people think they're going to be.
33:27
Yeah. Their defense actually took a
33:29
lot of big strides in game one. I, I, I like their draft, I like
33:32
some of the young players, but I, I wasn't sure how it would be
33:34
in game one. Saquon Barkley was a non factor.
33:37
A.J. Brown was a non factor.
33:38
Devante Smith was a non factor. That's a good sign for a young
33:41
defense like that. Yes, there were other guys that
33:43
went off Dallas Goddard had a nice game.
33:45
Some of the backup running backs for Philly definitely played
33:47
well. But if those three guys are shut
33:50
down, like most of the time, you'll win those games.
33:52
That's obviously they. Should have, yeah.
33:54
The Cowboys offense definitely still suspect in some areas too,
33:58
and. The beef would have blamed Zach
33:59
Prescott, even if the. Beef wants Joe Milton to take
34:02
over for whatever. Reason he's out of his mind and
34:04
I'll absolutely I'll finish. It off with this shout out to
34:07
one of our former guests of our show from a while back, Ian
34:10
Harditz, who now worked for Pro Football Focus CD.
34:13
Lamb has four, four drops in that game.
34:16
That is the most innate football game, a single football game
34:18
since Jerry Judy his rookie year in 2020.
34:21
What 5? Yeah, I, I will give him credit
34:25
though, he did own up to it and was like, yeah, but I mean,
34:28
you're never going to see that again.
34:29
And and probably the one catch was if he would have made it
34:33
would have been unbelievable, the diving one.
34:34
But there were some just right in his hands and he'll never do
34:37
it again. But yeah, it's just I, it's here
34:40
in in the Midwest, we our fandom is a little different.
34:44
And so the Cowboys are kind of like the Yankees and the Braves
34:47
are just because you got to watch them the most.
34:48
So just watching the Cowboys fans heart breaks that can
34:52
literally name like two people that aren't really Cowboys fans.
34:55
It's interesting to watch. You know what I loved about it,
34:57
Jabba? What I loved about it is, is the
34:59
beef had Williams and he didn't play them and he had two
35:02
touchdowns. It was so funny and how crazy he
35:05
was. On his bench.
35:06
He was on his bench. It was so funny.
35:08
He sat there like, I can't believe I didn't play Williams
35:11
and I left my answer off, I said.
35:14
That's one of the best, like, conversations or texts you get.
35:17
Like when you see it's just people like, oh, really?
35:21
He had 39 points. And I'm like, oh, really?
35:23
Yeah. My bench.
35:24
I think Carter. Carter had somebody like that
35:26
this week, too. And I'm just.
35:27
Like, oh, it's so funny. Those are the best reactions.
35:30
Oh, it was so funny how he jumped in and then he blamed Dak
35:33
Prescott after the whole game. I just, I don't want to hear it
35:35
anymore. I don't want to hear it.
35:36
Dak is a good quarterback. Bee, if you're listening, stop
35:40
with the bitching. I'm sorry I had to go.
35:42
Here we go. All right, let's get to the next
35:45
one. We're going to go a little more
35:47
quickly to these Buccaneers and Falcons.
35:49
Very close game. Fun game to watch.
35:52
Really good one. I had it open just a second ago,
35:56
but Baker Mayfield 3 touchdown passes in that game.
35:59
We all know that Baker is doing it.
36:01
Who did he throw to? Two touchdowns to?
36:03
Rookie wide receiver and Mecca Ibuka.
36:07
Pretty impressive rookie debut for the receiver and Bijon
36:12
Robinson had 100 yards receiving in a touchdown in the loss for
36:15
the Falcons. Real close defensive battle.
36:18
Surprisingly the Bengals and the Browns.
36:21
Bengals eat that one out. 1716 you.
36:26
That's what happened. You couldn't kick a ball through
36:29
the friggin hole. That's all I'm going to say
36:31
about it. 2 field goal kicks missed and he had a chance to
36:36
take it to overtime and maybe, maybe win the game.
36:40
I thought the Falcons played very well.
36:42
Bijon Robinson a beast I would have loved to see in overtime
36:45
because that would have helped my fantasy league and my fantasy
36:47
team but didn't happen that way. That's all I got to say about
36:51
that. So as.
36:51
Somebody with Baker and Ibuka in the same league as you have,
36:54
anything with Beach, I definitely would have proved
36:56
that. I was obviously, obviously at
36:58
Buca in his first game, taking over for Chris Godwin, playing
37:01
very well, Bizon receiving too. That was a very good game plan
37:04
on the Falcons side as well. Todd Bowles loves to blitz.
37:08
They're immune to pass catching running backs and Michael Pennix
37:10
was duressed a lot of the time against the Tampa passers.
37:13
I think he held his own effort. He's good, Yeah.
37:15
Michael Pennix is good, I think. I think he's proven a.
37:18
Good place too. That was the 4th and goal when
37:20
they scored and, you know, the extra effort right at the end.
37:24
Yeah, I just, I, I think, I think those games, him coming in
37:27
that we had a conversation. I can't remember who we had on,
37:29
but it was like, oh, he's not going to play.
37:31
But I think those games did help him, those last.
37:33
That was OB last year because he, we, that was the rumors we
37:37
were. Wondering is like, is he going
37:38
to give it up? Yeah.
37:39
Because there were rumors, oh, they're going to switch it now.
37:41
Then two weeks after we have him on the show, week 15, they
37:44
switch it. Yeah.
37:46
And we were like, oh, they're not going to do it.
37:47
He was like, not going to do it. But yeah, I think, you know,
37:49
they had their chance. But yeah, I think Phoenix is is
37:52
going to be the real deal for sure.
37:54
You know, Miles Garrett can dominate a game and he really
37:58
almost won that game for them. He had two sacks on the day.
38:01
He had five solo tackles, 4 tackles for a loss.
38:06
You know, so that's you. Got paid enough 4 TfL you got
38:09
paid enough. You know what I mean?
38:10
Like. Think about how important the
38:13
pass rushing position is, if you could do that with that complete
38:17
shit show around you and still almost beat a team that has
38:20
allegedly a great offense. Take a look at what happened to
38:24
those receivers and quarterback Joe Burrow. 113 yards, one
38:28
touchdown. The touchdown was to Noah Fant,
38:30
who I didn't realize was over there this year.
38:32
T Higgins, 3 catches, 33 yards. Jamar Chase, number one pick in
38:37
most fantasy drafts. 2 catch, 26 yards on five targets.
38:41
I'm not surprised. They don't really start off
38:44
strong. The fact that they won this game
38:46
is because they played the Cleveland Browns and again, the
38:50
Cleveland Browns don't have a quarterback.
38:52
Joe Flacco, old man Joe is probably going to lose his job
38:55
in the next two or three weeks. We're going to see what these
38:57
other kids are going to do. Maybe we see Shadora at one
39:00
point this year. I doubt it, but I want to see
39:03
Dylan Gabriel. I think if if he gets a chance
39:05
to prove himself, I think he's AI think he's a lot better than
39:09
people think. But I they played the Browns,
39:11
Miles Garrett's sensational. We all know he can ruin a game.
39:16
And to me, Joe Flacco is the quarterback.
39:20
He's like 40-50 years old and, and I don't think the Browns are
39:23
going to win that many games. So that that was the problem.
39:26
The Bengals were lucky they played the Browns in game number
39:28
one or they would have lost that game.
39:29
Yeah, pretty much. Between the fact that they
39:31
always start slow, the fact that they always struggle in
39:33
Cleveland for whatever reason, I think they only won once since
39:36
Borough got drafted in Cleveland and the Browns defense we knew
39:39
was still going to create problems for that Bengals
39:41
offensive line. So one thing I will give the
39:43
Browns a lot of positive credit for is their young running back.
39:46
One that is on my a lot of my fantasy benches.
39:48
Dylan Sampson actually had a very good game too.
39:49
I think he had 7 catches, efficient run or two considering
39:53
all the offensive line injuries that they had.
39:55
Besides that, not much upside to and a bad kicker for the Browns.
39:58
So. Yeah, there, there was bad, I
40:01
mean bad kicking all around, but that's that's kind of the last
40:06
few years. That's really what it is.
40:07
And then you got the massage parlor kickers too, that
40:11
sometimes, you know, getting away to.
40:12
Tucker. Oh yeah, that's that's that's
40:16
what it was. He's going to tuck it.
40:20
When he wasn't tucking it, obviously.
40:22
Speaking of Tuck, the Tuck Rule team the the Raiders defeated
40:27
the Patriots. The Tuck Rule game from years
40:29
and years ago. See how I did that at 20 to 13
40:32
and the same score between the Cardinals and the Saints, also
40:37
20 to 13 in those games. The Raiders, Geno Smith 362
40:42
yards passing, a touchdown and a pick.
40:45
Ashton Gente is first touchdown in the NFL on the ground.
40:49
Brock Bowers over 100 yards, came out of the game with an
40:52
injury. I think he's probably OK Booty
40:56
with 103 yards for New England. Everyone's favorite you saw.
41:01
Jeff's boy. Yep.
41:03
Kay, Sean Booty. I don't think Drake May is top
41:07
five in the league as of now, but he had a good, relatively
41:13
good game 30 of 46 to 87 touchdown and a pick.
41:17
In the other game, the Cardinals, they outlasted the
41:20
dreadful Saints 20th, 3rd. Game was tough to watch.
41:24
Which only can be described as a suck fest the entire time.
41:29
Brutal game. Kyler Murray 163 yards, 2
41:32
touchdowns in the on the in the air, 1 to Marvin Harrison Junior
41:36
who had a good game, 5 catches, 71 yards.
41:39
The Saints. Spencer Rattler not much going
41:42
on. Kamara had a touchdown on the
41:44
ground. Their top receiver was their
41:46
tight ends. Juan Johnson Olave had 54 yards.
41:52
I, I think Ashton Gente and obviously Brock Bowers are going
41:55
to be really, really good when it comes to fantasy.
41:58
I, I, I also think Geno Smith is going to be really, really good.
42:01
Pete Carroll is going to run the ball, run the ball, run the
42:04
ball. I think you're going to see that
42:06
even more as the season moves forward as far as the Cardinals
42:10
are concerned. The Cardinals, to me, this is
42:13
Kyla Murray's last year to prove himself.
42:15
If he doesn't prove himself this year, I could see the Cardinals
42:18
probably moving him or trading him in the offseason or just
42:21
paying him out and letting him do whatever the hell he wants.
42:24
I mean, he's Russell Wilson esque.
42:26
He's been horrible. I thought this kid was going to
42:28
be special. He's fallen off the last two
42:30
years ever since he started talking in a third person.
42:33
So I, I don't know, I I I'm done with the Cardinals.
42:36
I don't know what the Hell's going on with them.
42:38
And Harrison Junior. I thought Harrison Junior was
42:40
going to be some special guy. He's going to put up.
42:43
Yeah. We we talked about just saying
42:44
he was going to have he'd come out and have a good.
42:46
I don't know what's going on with him, man.
42:48
I have no idea what's going on. He's not his father, that's for
42:51
sure. No, not, not.
42:53
Not many of them are. But and Kyler Murray, like
42:55
you're saying, may be out this year because most of his
42:58
guaranteed money is gone after this year.
42:59
So it's the same situation like the Giants had last year with
43:01
Daniel Jones. That's why they were able to get
43:03
rid of them. They kept him on.
43:05
Remember, the Cardinals kept him on the roster when we thought,
43:07
oh, they're going to tank and just draft a quarterback number
43:09
one in the draft. And then they stuck with him.
43:11
But not a great passing showcase so far.
43:14
As far as the Raiders, definitely a good defensive
43:15
identity that we're seeing out of Pete Carroll.
43:17
And for New England, they're going to have to find some other
43:19
receivers rather than just having one random one emerge
43:21
like Boot Tech. Yeah, they were the the
43:25
Cardinals Saints game speaks for itself.
43:27
There really wasn't much going on there.
43:29
Raiders, I think are going to be good.
43:30
I like Pete Carroll and and what he does and I think he has the
43:33
guys around him to do it. And the Patriots is kind of a
43:36
flip of a coin for me right now. Yeah, I think it might have been
43:39
4 bad teams in this box of four. Two games right here.
43:43
So let's move on to some teams that aren't so bad.
43:46
Well, actually most of these teams are bad also.
43:49
Sorry the Broncos aren't though. The Broncos and the Titans, 20
43:53
to 12. Broncos outlast the Titans.
43:55
Both Knicks actually threw a couple of picks in this game
43:58
after being pretty accurate last year.
44:00
But you know, that game was in hand the entire way.
44:03
Pretty good defense and not you know, Cam Ward some moments, you
44:08
know, some moments didn't look terrible out there.
44:10
I would say obviously nothing special they lost, but the
44:13
Broncos everyone think has a top defense in the league going into
44:16
that one and the Jaguars destroyed the Panthers.
44:19
It's not like anyone had a great game.
44:21
I think except for at the end, played well, which led to.
44:24
Surprisingly. Getting Tank Bigsby just got
44:27
traded this evening and I put it in our last sports minute for
44:30
1/5 in a sixth round pick so we can back up Saquon Barkley in
44:34
Philadelphia, which is a fascinating move by the Eagles.
44:37
Which I was still, I was thinking Bigsby was going to be
44:40
the starting running back over there with the Jaguars, and ETN
44:43
shows up and he actually plays well in game #1 and he wins back
44:48
his job. Not surprised.
44:50
I always drafted ETN every single year and the guy did
44:53
nothing for me. And now all of a sudden I didn't
44:55
draft him and now he's doing everything.
44:57
Typical, typical. And by the way, the Gremlin, I'm
45:01
going to tell you this right now.
45:03
He stinks and we're going to watch him fall flat on his face.
45:06
I said, and I'll say it again, this guy is going to have seven
45:10
seasons in the NFL and he will be done.
45:12
What a terrible move for the Jacksonville Jaguars.
45:15
I know you're going to sit there and make excuses and say it's
45:18
only game #1 he did not look good in game #1 as far as the
45:21
Broncos, you didn't. Like his hair?
45:22
His haircut. Dude, I can't stand him.
45:24
I can't stand the way he looks. I can't stand the way he talks.
45:28
I don't. I can't stand the way he dances
45:30
on the sidelines, which he was doing it six or seven times
45:32
during the game when the music was going on.
45:34
I watched the game just to laugh at him.
45:36
OK. And I got my Gremlin jersey,
45:38
which I got specially made. Don't worry, when it comes in,
45:40
I'll be wearing it on the show. As far as the Broncos are
45:43
concerned, we all know what the Broncos are going to be.
45:46
Bo Nicks did not have a great day.
45:47
If Bo Nicks has a sophomore year, this team is doing
45:50
nothing. I I just don't think they have
45:52
enough depth at the wide receiving position.
45:54
You saw that in game #1 the Titans are a good defense.
45:57
They showed themselves to be a good defense.
45:59
They just have no offense. I feel bad for Ward.
46:02
Yeah, the Titans have a good defense that we thought was
46:04
going to play well. It's just a matter of how much
46:06
their offense was going to be on the field because they got worn
46:08
down last year. Now, their offense was not great
46:10
in this game, obviously, but it's tough going against that
46:12
level of a defense like the Broncos have.
46:14
I think Ward still held his own. He made some iffy decisions,
46:17
throwing deep at times I think, but.
46:18
Tennessee's offensive line was terrible.
46:20
I know they're they're never, they've never been the same
46:22
offensive line. I think really since those that
46:24
core with Lawan and Conklin, they haven't really drafted well
46:26
dude. Ward was running for dear life
46:28
the whole game. He was running away, Yeah, he
46:31
was running backwards. See, I thought he was going to
46:33
run to the the opposite end zone half the game the way they were
46:36
attacking is. Too good.
46:38
Yeah, Yeah. Don't you think that?
46:39
No, of course their defense is too good.
46:41
And I think also you when the Titans have trouble drafting
46:43
wide receivers too, it's a lot. By the way, Brian Thomas is a
46:46
beast. Like I told everybody, a beast
46:49
and he's going to have a beastly season.
46:51
He was running the ball, too. They actually used him in the
46:53
running game, too. Good idea you've.
46:55
Seen Tampa to use with Godwin as well at point, so that's an
46:58
interesting facet to their offense.
47:00
ETN. I'm not going to jump the gun
47:01
with him. The Carolina Panthers have a
47:02
horrible front 7, so I'm not going to go as far as to say,
47:05
all right, he's back as a runner.
47:07
I really liked him as a prospect at the time.
47:08
I thought he fell off after his third year, but it's a promising
47:12
start. I'm not going to jump the gun
47:13
though. Yeah, these are all, I mean,
47:16
especially with the Titans Cam award.
47:17
But it it's that's a tough draw with the Broncos defense and Cam
47:21
just running for his life and going into it.
47:24
He probably knew that, but probably not as bad as it is.
47:27
The Jags. It's I I think a lot of people
47:29
tuned into that game just because of Travis Hunter.
47:31
It's it's I know you hate to hear that arrow, but a lot of
47:34
people it's it's you, it's you want to see him fail, you want
47:37
to see him succeed and whatever. So it's it'll be interesting to
47:41
see how that plays out. I don't know if the seven years
47:45
is going to be whatever. I think it's going to switch
47:47
because he's going to play one position.
47:48
But that's just my opinion. I agree with you, but.
47:51
Yeah, it's. Yeah, I think it'll happen
47:53
because his body just won't take it.
47:55
I saw. Did you guys see the commercial
47:57
with him and Trevor Lawrence when they're running out?
47:58
Yes, his legs are. Tiny.
48:00
I'm telling you, I was standing right next to him.
48:03
Literally. I was 5 feet away from him and
48:06
he's like toothpicks for legs. They're toothpicks.
48:10
I can actually stick them between my teeth.
48:12
OK, that's how so how thin his legs.
48:15
I don't know how he lasts in the NFL.
48:17
Somebody is going to kill that guy with his mouth and the way
48:20
he he talks on the field and speaks on the field, somebody is
48:23
going to close line the guy because the whole game he was
48:26
talking. He guys.
48:28
If you watch the game, every single time I was I have the I
48:32
have the stick. I think you get to watch and see
48:34
things that you don't see on television.
48:36
The guy was dancing on the sideline when there were songs.
48:39
The dude, you're not that good and you're dancing around like
48:42
you've done something. You did nothing.
48:44
You average 5.5 a catch and you're dancing around on the
48:48
sidelines. Give me a break.
48:49
Errol's gonna Instead of watching the football game,
48:51
she's gonna have surveillance camera on Travis Hunter.
48:53
I. Can't stand the guy, all right?
48:55
I can't stand him. All right.
48:56
Next up. That's next time.
48:58
Yeah, you know, we don't have to talk about Hunter.
49:00
We got one more block of games to go all.
49:02
Right, let's go. The 49ers beat the Seahawks in a
49:06
defensive battle, 17 to 13. The Packers were all over the
49:11
Lions 2713. And in another tough one to
49:15
watch, the Rams beat up on the Texans, their lack of ability to
49:19
block a soul on the front. Unfortunately for CJ Stroud, 14
49:25
and nine, a couple of really big performances, Christian
49:29
McCaffrey, people that weren't sure he was going to be able to
49:32
play well, kind of got to his old tricks. 69 yards on the
49:35
ground, 73 through the air, 31 total touches.
49:39
Ricky Pierce, all 108 yards and Brock Purdy, 277 yards. 2
49:44
touchdowns, 2 picks. They don't know if he's going to
49:47
play next week, and it looks like Kittle has a bad hamstring
49:51
injury. He might miss it more than a few
49:52
games. It said multiple weeks for
49:55
Kittle, didn't it? Yeah, it's looks like it's going
49:58
to be at least a Grade 2 hammy for Kittle.
50:00
That's not a good sign for the one and only San Francisco 49ers
50:04
guys, because I I Christian Caffrey's a beast, but he's not
50:08
100% healthy. He was.
50:09
A lot of people didn't even think he was going to play in
50:11
this game. He had a great game since age
50:13
and all. They played the Seahawks.
50:14
OK, stop. All right, right.
50:16
I see the Seahawks. I picked the Seahawks to win
50:19
because they were at home. The Seahawks didn't really play
50:21
a very good game. Seeing Donald was horrible in
50:23
the game and you can see why Minnesota decided to part ways
50:26
with him. But I don't know.
50:28
McCarthy is not having a great day either.
50:30
So nothing said about I'll be. Back next next year with them.
50:33
I will say this about the Packers.
50:35
The Packers are the team to beat now with Michael Parsons there,
50:38
they're they're even scarier. This defense is elite.
50:42
They're the youngest team in football.
50:43
They got weapons all over the field.
50:45
Look at the wide receivers they have.
50:47
They have read Dubs, they have golden who barely even played.
50:51
They got they got weapons tight ends, they they've got craft.
50:55
They're this team is fantastic and they're so they have so much
51:00
depth and Jordan Love could be the MVP of the league this year.
51:03
I they're scary good. You saw them against a very good
51:06
Detroit lion team. Scary good.
51:08
That's all I'm going to say. Lions, don't worry, Lion fans,
51:11
don't worry, They're going to be fine.
51:12
I think they'll be fine. They're definitely making the,
51:14
they're just not winning the division.
51:16
No. And the Packers winning in the
51:17
trenches, I think was the biggest in that game because the
51:20
Packers, I questioned their offensive line a little bit in
51:22
their defense. Obviously he's had issues with
51:23
the the rotation of the defensive lineman in the past,
51:26
but they dominate the lines on both sides of the ball.
51:28
And like I was saying, like the Packers have built this core on
51:31
not paying any wide receivers big contracts.
51:33
They pay Jordan Love and they're going to trust these young
51:35
receivers to make that kind. Of and they pay Michael Parsons
51:37
a lot of money. And obviously they pay Michael
51:38
Parsons too, but and. Boy oh boy did he show up in the
51:41
fourth quarter. Who's close lies?
51:43
Close lies, people. Immediate impact.
51:45
Immediate impact from Parsons. Well, you were describing too
51:49
about going to the Seattle game. Seattle doesn't.
51:51
They have a good interior defensive lineman.
51:52
They're kind of questionable everywhere else in their front
51:54
seven. I think San Francisco kind of
51:55
took advantage of that. Even when Cable got hurt, you
51:57
saw them use the other tight ends as well.
51:59
And I think that's a good game planning adjustment.
52:01
I think Clint Kubiak with Seattle kind of was a little too
52:03
predictable and Kyle Shanahan knew that.
52:05
And the Rams winning with their defense that that Texans
52:07
offensive line we talked about as being bad.
52:09
The Rams blitzed and they made CJ Stroud the rest.
52:11
And I, again, the Rams just got to figure things out.
52:14
They've got weapons, there's no question.
52:16
And Devante Adams, he didn't have a big day, but he'll be
52:18
fine. He's going to figure things out
52:20
in the McVeigh offense. And we all know what Puka Nakua
52:23
is. And and Ky and Kyron Williams,
52:26
he's one when he is healthy, he's one of the elite running
52:29
backs in all the football. So I know it wasn't an offensive
52:33
game for the the Rams, but they'll figure it out.
52:36
They're a very good young defensive team.
52:38
Could you imagine if Aaron Donald comes back and and tries
52:42
to win a Super Bowl with the team and how scary they would be
52:44
at the front seven? Oh my God, Scary good.
52:48
Really, really scary. So.
52:49
Yeah, if he comes back to, it's not only the fact that he's
52:52
good, but that the fact that you bring another mind and a body
52:55
that can help those young kids too.
52:56
And they, they they're super talented.
52:59
I love McVeigh as a coach. Like I said before, I added that
53:03
he's got a hot wife now. And CJ Stroud, you know what
53:08
it's, I think he's going to, I think he's going to break out a
53:11
little bit. I like his game a little bit.
53:13
I think Jordan Love is is the real deal.
53:17
Just smooth. It comes out very, very easy.
53:20
He's fun to watch for me and I don't the the Niners.
53:24
I mean, now you got McCaffrey. It's it's not when he gets hurt
53:29
or if and when it's it's going to happen.
53:31
He's never going to be 100%. But I mean, it's 50 yards
53:35
receiving and 50 yards rushing. He's second all time with 31.
53:38
Like he's consistently done it for a long time.
53:41
Brock Purdy. I don't know that that throw to
53:44
Tungus, he was behind the he was behind the defender and came and
53:48
routed for him. That wasn't a great pass.
53:50
I mean, he was celebrating like he did something.
53:52
But Brock, Bertie, Tungus or Tungus, whatever.
53:54
Brock Bertie had a good game Choppa I I thought Brock.
53:57
Did, but that pass was horrendous. 100% I know exactly
54:01
what you're talking about, but they're going to have problems
54:04
all season long because they can't stay healthy.
54:05
They won that game. No, I think San Francisco still,
54:09
I think they're the worst team in his division.
54:10
I'm watching. Seattle's going to play better.
54:13
They're going to figure things out.
54:14
Sam Donald's not this bad. So.
54:17
And the Jigba actually proved that maybe Fish was right.
54:20
Nick Jigba might have a big week, big year.
54:22
And how do you how do you let him like get you knew that they
54:26
were going to throw the ball like late in the game.
54:28
That's likely time guard the one dude, don't let him beat you.
54:30
And they went for like it was like a 47 yard or something.
54:33
Yeah, it. Doesn't make sense.
54:35
I don't know. They no one else got open.
54:37
Cooper Cup got I think 2 catches in that game.
54:39
He looks weird in that uniform, by the way.
54:41
He does I look I I for me, the Packers are really a team to
54:47
beat with Micah Parsons opposite a healthy Rashawn Gary.
54:51
That's really good edge rushing from a team.
54:54
And now you have all these other guys inside.
54:56
They play Walker, really good linebacker edge and Cooper.
55:00
I I like Xavier McKinney as a first team all pro safety.
55:04
They have guys at every single level of Ivanta.
55:07
Why? It's a good interior lineman as
55:09
well. Like they're just stacked.
55:11
They've been drafting really, really, really well and they're
55:16
just coming together. Maybe it's a year ahead of
55:18
schedule for them, but they're going to be right there in the
55:20
discussion for a couple years. What I want to see, and you can
55:23
shut the music, what I want to see, if I'm looking at an AFC
55:29
and NFC title game, I want to see the Packers and Eagles.
55:32
That's what I want to see healthy and I want to see
55:35
Baltimore and Buffalo. I think those would be the four
55:39
best teams. And that would be interesting to
55:42
see whoever comes out of those two games who goes to the Super
55:45
Bowl. That would be a sensational
55:46
Super Bowl. And that's, that's the way I
55:48
want to see it because all the other teams in the NFC besides
55:52
the Packers and Eagles, are you going to bet that they're going
55:55
to jump in and, and make the playoffs?
55:57
I mean, and beat any of those teams?
55:59
I, I just, to me, those are the four best teams, 2 best teams in
56:03
EFC and two best teams in the NFC.
56:05
And that's where I want to see, I want to see.
56:06
So if my prediction, if you were to ask me right now, my
56:09
prediction right now, who's going to the AFC and NFC title
56:12
game as long as they stay healthy.
56:14
I got the Packers and the Eagles in the NFC and the Buffalo Bills
56:18
in the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC.
56:21
That's my prediction. Thank you to all the fans that

56:50
Out to Nathan for getting this guy, Jordan Ronin.
56:52
He's the ESPN National NFL Nation reporter national
56:55
reporter for the New York Football Giants.
56:58
There you go and I know OU giant fans are going to love his takes
57:01
about the giants. I know official, you know,
57:03
probably you know what in his pants, but anyways, it's going.
57:07
To be terrible, he's going to say the team sucks.
57:09
You know that's what's going to happen.
57:13
Is he wrong? No.
57:14
You you'll probably give them some credit with their defense.
57:17
I mean, Abdul Carter's good. And then it ends right there.
57:20
They're great. Listen, you have some kind of
57:23
future. You have Abdul Carter, you have
57:25
Burns, and you have Dexter Lawrence.
57:28
Mr. Sexy Dexy, who, by the way, when he came into the league, I
57:32
will never get credit for it. I'm the one who gave him that
57:34
nickname. I called him Sexy Dexy so and
57:37
that was before he came from Clemson and everything that I
57:40
called him sexy dexy. I'm telling you, job is shaking
57:43
his head. I was the one that gave him that
57:44
nickname. I was the one that gave him that
57:46
nickname. I need evidence.
57:48
We'll go back. We'll go back to one of our
57:50
shows because I have every one of our shows.
57:52
Yes, I was the one that gave him the nickname.
57:56
He was playing in the national championship speedy, and I
57:59
called him Sexy Dexy and I said he I I thought he was going to
58:03
be a good player going to the NFL when the Giants drafted him
58:06
too, because I watched him. He dominated in the national
58:08
championship game. So I remember that's all I'm
58:12
going to say. And the guy that draft, it was
58:14
the Raiders that drafted him. I didn't think he was going to
58:17
be good. Who was the guy who was the pass
58:18
rush at the Raiders? Yeah, I didn't think he.
58:22
Was the strange 4th overall pick?
58:24
Like I thought he was going to be good, but not top five good?
58:27
Yeah, I didn't think. He was going to be good.
58:28
I thought Dexter Lawrence had a really good national
58:30
championship. That was the first of many Mike
58:33
Mayock. Yes, proving me.
58:35
Maybe he didn't know what he was talking about.
58:37
Well, he actually kind of, it actually kind of washed because
58:39
in the fifth round they drafted Max Crosby.
58:41
Yes, he did. Yeah, but that's getting lucky.
58:43
They. Actually drafted Jacobs here,
58:45
too. That's right.
58:46
Being bad at drafting in all the other rounds.
58:48
Yeah, he did. I mean, there he wasn't.
58:50
Did not a lot of slam dunk. No No 20. 2020 was the worst
58:53
though. They drafted Henry Ruggs first,
58:54
then they drafted Damon Arnett who was like a fourth round
58:57
prospect in the first round that had all field issues.
58:59
Yeah, that didn't make any sense.
59:00
Anyways, we'll be back on Wednesday.
59:03
Until then, this is Errol Jabba, Speedy Fish and the Poop Man
59:08
saying good night. We'll talk to you then.
59:09
