  Speaker 1: Hey guys, welcome to the Daily Play with Joy Taylor.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Thanks so much for joining me. This is the 100th
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: episode of Daily Play with Joy Taylor. So thank you
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: for rocking with us. We've got a hundred more coming
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: for you and starting fresh with week one reacting to
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: all of Sunday's games in a full slate.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: Of college football.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: And of course, we always want to recognize that it
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: is 9-11 and we are so grateful to our first
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: responders and want.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: To recognize everyone that we lost on that tragic day.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: But Let's talk a little football.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: The Niners-Rams game in Australia that was really just a
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: Niners game, to be honest. The 27-7 win launches the Niners'
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: season while the Rams remain in neutral in a long
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: flight back to L.A. But before we get into the game,
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: let's talk about the atmosphere in Melbourne with... More than
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: 100,000 in attendance. Shout out to my girl, MJ Acosta Ruiz.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: On the sidelines, Netflix did an incredible job. The iconic
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: Melbourne Cricket Ground delivered the seventh largest attendance in an
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: incredible venue.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: For the NFL. As far as the game goes, though,
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: really slow start for both teams. A really tough watch.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: But then the Niners leading 3-0 after the first quarter
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: and the Rams scoring the first touchdown early in the
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: second quarter.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: The Niners took.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: A 10-7 lead into halftime. Very slow first half, and
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: the second half was all San Francisco. Scored in the
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: first drive, then scoring 10 more points off of Rams'
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: turnovers to put the game so far out of reach
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: that L.A.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: Back up sets, and Bennett saw some international action.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: It's... You know, people are going to argue who was
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: more prepared based off of the travel decisions.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: I personally think this did play a big role.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Again, I am not a professional athlete, but flying 15
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: hours and having zero time to adjust to that environment
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: is a lot to ask of people that basically thrive
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: off of routine travel. Rams head coach Sean McVay took
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: the blame, saying, I didn't do nearly a good enough job.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: This is a humbling day for us. This will define
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: us only if we allow it to. Now, it's sweet fun,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: and all the narratives are going to go crazy, but
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: for the Rams, huge wake-up call. It might end up
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: being the defining moment of their season, really, when we
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: talk about it, because... When you take a beating like that,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: when you come into the season with such high expectations
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: and everyone basically projecting that you're going to be the
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl winners and you are in prime time losing
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: that way to your division rival, It's kind of tough.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: So Aaron Donald obviously wasn't there. And it was an
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: international game with a 15-hour flight. You did decide to
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: get there last minute. On the other side, San Francisco
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: was there for a while. There were a lot of
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: big impact plays from some veteran players.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: Deebo Samuel, Fred Warner, Mike Evans, Trent Williams.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: So... I do think there's a lot to learn on
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: both sides of the ball when it comes to this game.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: But in general, I don't think we should overreact too much.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: I never really felt like I was going to take
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: too much from this game because of the location and
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: the very stark difference in approaches.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: There was two ways to look at it.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Either Sean McPherson will look like a genius or Kyle
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Shanahan is. And in this case, Kyle Shanahan is the
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: big winner. Looking ahead to Sunday's games, though, we have
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: been talking about the Falcons quarterback mess for a while now,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: and it has gone from bad to worse. Days after
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: Kevin Stefanski named Tua Tungamailoa the week one starter, Tua
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: has picked up an oblique injury that happened on the
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: throw during the portion of practice where the media is
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: allowed to watch.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: So reporters watched Tua throw a.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Pass during a drill, grab his back, and sit down
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: on the turf before jogging off the practice field. Atlanta
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: signed Cooper Rush on the first day of training camp.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: So he stepped in to take the first team reps
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: the rest of practice. Rush said, I'm not sure what happens,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: but it's Thursday practice. Practice has to go on. And
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: so you're up next. And that was a good day.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: It was good to get out there and get some
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: real reps with the group and see what happens. So
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: this is all happening because Michael Pankshuner is still recovering
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: from his third career ACL injury. I like the weapons
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: the Falcons have on offense. I don't hate the Kevin
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: Stefanski hire. But this quarterback situation is insane. And that
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: is why I've talked about it so much. And Tua
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: is a player that when everything is perfect, he thrives.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: That is not an ideal hire for a quarterback. I
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: don't even know if it's an ideal hire for any position.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: in the NFL, but particularly one that you are so
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: reliant on when it comes to the quarterback position. And
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: obviously they were planning on having a quarterback battle between
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: Michael Penix Jr. and Tua, but Tua has struggled with
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: injuries his entire career.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: I think that the Falcons are pretty much out of it.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Honestly, the only reason why I'm talking about this is
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: because I've talked about it so much throughout the offseason
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: because of their inability to name a quarterback.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: And of course, now Tua is dealing with a major injury. Well,
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: not a major injury.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: He's dealing with an injury and we will find out
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: how serious it is. But to come into the season
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: and he is already dealing with multiple injuries is actually crazy. Finally,
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: let's end the week on a cool story.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: A little fun. Jalen Brunson.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: Fresh off the Knicks championship and facing somewhat serious, greatest
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: Knick of all time allegations, will host Saturday Night Live
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: after this month. A dream for me personally and an
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: unbelievable honor. A couple of special stats to note about
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: this SNL slot. It's the first episode of the season.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: Brunson is the first active NBA player to host SNL
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: since LeBron in 2007.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: 2007.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Some of you guys are not even outside yet. So
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: I absolutely love this for him. They have been crushing it.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: He is always outside, cutting up with his teammates. Great podcast, obviously,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: with Playmaker. I... I'm so excited to watch this particular episode.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: And I think it will be very New York and
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: very fun. And I love this for him. And I
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: think it just further endears him to the city, which
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: he will obviously never have to pay for a meal
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: again in his entire life.
• 6:32
