  Speaker 1: to a wild week four in the NFL. And man,
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: there were some interesting games. There were also some really
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: boring games. I felt like the contenders separated from the pretenders.

• 1:25
  Speaker 1: let's get right into it. We have the Cowboys... versus
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: the Texans. First look at this entire game, and it'll
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: tell you one thing, that the Dallas Cowboys, offensively, they're
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: a top five offense. I truly believe that, just watching
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Dak Prescott, watching everything go along and how this game handles.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: I know they played the Texans, but CeeDee Lamb had
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: 17 catches. You heard that right. 21 targets, 17 catches
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: for 189 yards, and most importantly, the game-winning touchdown. I
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: didn't understand the Houston Texans DB leverage. It made zero sense.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: He's playing outside leverage when they're coming to pressure and
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: they have no help on the inside. They run a
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: little double post one, right? That was the throw of
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: the game by Dak. We'll get more into Dak and
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: more into the Houston Texans defense. But if you were blitzing,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: and especially if you have no safety in the middle,
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: which was taken up by the inside through route, And
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: this is the problem, I think, with the Houston Texans defense.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: They're allowing explosive plays at a really high clip. They're
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: not getting to the quarterback as much. Dak Prescott, to me,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: looks like a top five quarterback. More importantly, let's just
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: start with the Dallas Cowboys sides of things. Where are
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: they at? Where's their state of the franchise at? It's okay.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: It's okay. It's all right. Like you're allowing this Houston
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: Texans team to score 30. I mean, the story of
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: the entire year is you have a top three offense.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: I truly believe with Dak Prescott, George Pickens, CD Lamb,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Javante Williams has three touchdowns on the ground. And then
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: you go over to that defense and you go over
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: to Christian Parker. Like, I just don't, I don't understand it.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: They're really bad. Nothing about their calls makes sense. Christian
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: Parker's a Vic Fangio guy. And when I look at it,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: And I see these two-eye safety looks, and I see
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: constantly these inside routes just continuing to get hit by C.J. Stroud,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: and then you're not getting pressure on Dak Prescott. That's
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: where they sort of separated themselves. But I think with
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: the defense being as bad as they are, the Dallas Cowboys,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: I mean, look, they just traded for Joey Porter, but
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: they're going to have to score points offensively. They honestly
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: should be 2-0 the last two weeks. The Ravens' loss
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: was brutal. It was because of their defense. You look
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: at the last two games, though, Dak Prescott's probably playing
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: at a top three or top four type quarterback level.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you're Dallas on offense. Why don't
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: you just go two-minute drill the entire time? Dak Prescott,
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: to me, he's at the line of scrimmage. He's running
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: the two-minute plays. He's signaling. He's handling protections. You're also
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: wearing out that defensive front from the Texans. I thought
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: that's where he looked. his absolute best. And then obviously
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: we talked about CD lamb, but it's clear to me
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: who the number one target is on this team. Like
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: George Pickens is great. Don't know if he's going to
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: be there next year. Don't know anything, but like CD lamb,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: it took, took a while. Cause if you remember on
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: this show, we talked about how, um, in the first
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: game they had like three or four targets. That is
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: not the case. 21 targets. I also love the way
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: Brian Schottenheimer needs. It needs a lot more credit, not
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: only as a head coach, but I like how he
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: called the game. Um, it was, it was, It was
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: interesting to watch and just see that offense move up
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: and down the field. But, yeah, the defense for the
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Cowboys have to get better. Let's go to the Texans
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: really quick. I mean, the Texans right now, they're 0-4.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: It looks really, really bleak. And guess what? For all
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: this talk about C.J. Stroud and this fifth-year option and
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: what are we doing, are we signing him? He's looked
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: really good. He threw for. 350 and two touchdowns. I
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: don't care if it's against the Cowboys' defense. You still
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: have to go out there and you have to do it.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: The Texans, for the life of them, could not run
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: the ball. It's the second worst rush defense in the NFL,
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: and you run for 62 yards? You signed David Montgomery
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: this offseason, but you've been nonexistent since week one. Like,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: that makes zero sense. Like, you have to figure– your
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: season's done, by the way. I don't even know what
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: it is. I remember last week they were 0-3, and
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: we're like, oh, they're going to run the table like
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: they did last year. No, put a fork in them.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: They're absolutely done. The other thing about them is they
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: got outscored 28-14 in the second half. Like the Texas,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: let's just go through, because we were all talking about
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: this Texas defense as an absolute beast. Let's just go
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: through the Texas defense this season. Week one, you're up
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: 31-30 with 3.05 to play. You give up a 96-yard drive.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: Drop a wide open interception, you lose. Let's talk about
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: week three. You're up 19-17 with a minute 48 to play.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: You give up a 39-yard drive and a game-winning field goal.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: Week four, you're up. A lot going in the third,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: fourth quarter. You're up 30-27, though, with 2.15 left. And
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: Dak Prescott absolutely annihilates you. I don't know what's going
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: to happen. C.J. Stroud, to me, is the quarterback of
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: the future. He's played well. You've got to fix that defense.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: Let's move on to what I thought was probably the
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: game of the day. Rams versus the Eagles. The first
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: thing that stands out is, well, there's two things that
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: stand out. Nick Sirianni, what are you doing? Game management,
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: I swear we talk about this all the time with
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: Nick Sirianni, and it just never seems to be fixed.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: The game management issues, in my opinion, with Nick Sirianni
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: and a head coach, I don't know if he's handling it.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: I don't know if someone else is handling it. Big
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: Don might be handling it. You have to figure out
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: a way to manage the game better. I think the
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: biggest thing is seeing the multiple questionable decisions that and
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: going forward on fourth down, not taking points, doing stuff
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: throughout the game that just doesn't make sense. And I know, look,
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: the Eagles, they had nobody. They were banged up. They
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: were not the same offense without Saquon Lane-Johnson. Even with Lane-Johnson,
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: I just think that offensive line in general is getting
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: a lot older. By the way, the Rams didn't have
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: Aaron Donald or Myles Garrett. Still able to get home
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: quite a bit. And your boy Jalen Hurts, right? Like
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: he threw for 93 yards. And I get it. It's
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: sort of hard to win without Devontae Smith. But you
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: have Tank Bigsby and Darius Cooper, which, by the way,
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: made two touchdown catches. And that first one was just
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: an absolute moss in the end zone. But those are
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: your leading playmakers. And you have a new coordinator who
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: is trying to get Sean Manning, who's trying to get
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: on the same page as Jalen Hurts. They looked horrible.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: And that's funny because we were texting back and forth
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: in the group text. This group text was great between
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: the Buston boys. And Jeremy Klump, he is a lifelong
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: Eagles fan. And he was telling me that they're going
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: to lose the game when they're up 10 points. And
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: I was like, no, they're not. They're fine. Sure enough,
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: what happens? Well, Saquon gets hurt, and they end up
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: coming back. The Rams on life support. Oh, my gosh.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: I can't tell you how big of a deal this
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: is to go from 2-2 versus 1-3. Like, if you
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: lose this game right here on the road, which you
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: played awful in the first half, Matthew Stafford, But if
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: you lose this and you go to one and three, man,
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: it just seems a lot better. Love the job that
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: Sean McVay is doing. I don't know if you guys
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: saw that, but he huddled everyone up and he was like, dude,
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: let's go. You don't see that very often by NFL
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: head coaches. Thought the Eagles defense played pretty well in
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: the first half. Stafford ended up getting the job done,
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: but he threw two interceptions in the first half and
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: they weren't good. The Stafford to me, Doesn't look like
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: the same Stafford of the MVP of last year. I
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: don't think he's, I don't think it's an age thing.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: I just think maybe teams are figuring them out. They're
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: doing these 12 and 13 personnel packages, but he's got
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: six touchdowns and six interceptions. The Rams didn't lead the
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: whole game until the fourth quarter, which is nuts. Like
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: they scored at the end. They were losing 20 to
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: 10 entering the fourth quarter. And literally the Rams kept
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: their season alive. I just thought in general too, The
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: Rams coached a lot better than the Eagles. It's great
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: to have Puka Nakua back. He passed Randy Moss. I
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: get this. He had a lot of yards. But Puka
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: Nakua passed Randy Moss on most yards through 50 games.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: That's how good this dude has been. Since 2002, get this,
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: preseason Super Bowl favorites of plus 500 or better are
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: 0-14 on winning the Super Bowl. Rams were plus 500.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: I just think this gives them life. They don't look
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: like a Super Bowl team right now. To me, they don't.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: look like a Super Bowl team. There's a lot to
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: get back. Defensively, look, you hold the Eagles to 172
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: total yards. Your pass defense is good. Just wait. If
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford can play better, just wait until Aaron Donald
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: and Miles Garrett get back. But this game was an
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: interesting game. It was sort of a boring game to watch.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: If the Rams lose this, their season's dead. Not so fast.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: Back from the grave. All right, let's get to a
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: sneaky good game. It is Bears versus the Jets. First
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: of all, what a weird score. You guys ever heard
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: of scoregami? I don't think this is a scoregami, but
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: Jets have 12. Chicago has 23. This game was so...
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: Much worse of a beatdown than this score hits, and
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: we'll get into all of it. First of all, I
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: want to get to the biggest story of the day
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: for the Bears, and that was Tyson Bajent. I saw
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: what Case Keenum did on Monday Night Football last year.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: I'm a big Case Keenum guy. I understand Tyson Bajent.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: Caleb Williams is out hammy. Tyson Bajent had a concussion.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: He was backing him up. Case Keenum played unbelievable. I
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: thought the offense, to me, looked better. versus this game
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: versus the game that Case Keenum, I thought it looked
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: better with Case Keenum. Case Keenum sort of found something
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: in that water in Chicago or that deep dish pizza
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: because he played out of this world. And I was
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: a little bit like, hey, what are they doing? Like,
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: why are they playing Case? Why are they playing Tyson
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: Bajan after Case Keenum did that? What do I know, though?
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: The Bears can win with all three quarterbacks. Like the
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: fact that the Bears are winning right now and they're
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: winning at the pace at what they're doing, it's super impressive.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: You have three, you have multiple wins and you have
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: done it with multiple different quarterbacks. I think that's the
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: biggest thing from this game that I took away. And
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: the Bears look to me, I'm not being facetious, like
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: this is a team that looks like they can win
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: a Super Bowl. They look like they can win the NFC.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: The NFC to me, they look like the class of
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: the NFC. Like Tyson Bajent, to me, 25 of 34,
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: 268 yards, an interception. They can run the piss out
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: of the ball. That is six touchdowns the very first
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: week or whatever against the Panthers. They ran the football,
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: 54 rush attempts for 232 yards. Kyle Menungai, 30 for 146,
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: two touchdowns. I mean, they just continued handing the football.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: They have DeAndre Swift out there. Luther Burden is going nuts.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: But look at this game for the Bears. I have
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: no clue how, I don't think this is a score.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: He got me score. I have no idea how the
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: score was only 23 to 12. Get this stat. This
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: is crazy. And I'm not a bunch of stats, but
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: shout out Mitch Bussin for putting this in there because
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: it's amazing. The Bears had 34, follow me, 34 first
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: downs while the Jets only had seven. The Jets only
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: managed seven first downs. Okay, so the Bears had 34,
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: which anything over 24, 2-24 offensively, you are humming. That
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: means you're staying out of third downs. That means you're
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: continuing to drive the clock. And that's what happens with
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: the time of possession as well. The Bears ran almost
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: 90 plays. They ran 89. The Jets ran 32. So
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: get this. The Bears had more first downs, 34, than
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: the Jets had plays. How is this 20? If Caleb
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: Williams plays this game, it's a complete and utter disaster. destruction,
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: but shout out backup quarterbacks, right? Like I love backup quarterbacks.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: I was a backup quarterback in Chicago. Mitch Trubisky got
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: hurt a few times. I was able to come in.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: I was able to play well, but the fact that
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: you have two backup quarterbacks, I like Tyson Bajent a lot.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: I feel like he is built like an NFL quarterback.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: I feel like it never, ever looks too big for
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: him when he's out there. It also probably helps that
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: you have I don't know, Ben Johnson, who I would
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: put in the same category as Kyle Shanahan and Sean
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: McVay as offensive play callers. Do you know how hard
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: it is, Bears fans, to call plays for three completely
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: different quarterbacks? You have Houdini in the pocket with Caleb Williams,
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: and what he's able to do, he's moving left, he's
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: moving right. He's not really an under center quarterback, but
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: Ben Johnson's turned him into an under center quarterback. And
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: then you have Case Keenum, who's a statue in the
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: pocket like me, got a little beer belly, just like me.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: He's my boy, so I can say that. Like, he
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: looks good out there. He's throwing absolute darts, so you've
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: got to have more play action. You've got to have
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: less move the pocket. You've got to make sure the
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: ball's out quick because he can't get away. And then
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: you have Tyson Bazant, who's a little bit of both. Like,
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: I feel like he can escape. The dude's an absolute
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: freak show in the gym, like get-off-me type. You have
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: all three different quarterbacks. So the play call sequencing, when
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: it comes down to that, which is, as Ben Johnson,
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: how do I– get from one play to the next,
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: and how does my quarterback handle that? All right, let's
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: take a play call sequence. Say I go run out
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: of heavy personnel on first down. Say it's run left.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: All right, with Caleb Williams, you might want to go, hey,
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: let's get in the same personnel, different formation, run left,
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: boot right. With Case Keenum, you're like, hey, I can't boot.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: I need fake here, but I need intermediate throws in
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: the middle of the field, which I think Case Keenum's
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: really good at. I think Caleb Williams is really good
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: at extending the play. And then maybe you have on
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: third down. Maybe you run it. Maybe you pop a
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: run with Case Kim so you don't trust him on
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: third down. Maybe you pop a run with Tyson Bajent
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: on third down because you don't think he can go.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: I just think it's so impressive. We need to talk
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: about this team more. And by the way, we didn't
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: even get to the defense. Think about when they get
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: Caleb back. But how about Dennis Allen? Shout out Dennis
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: Allen for getting this defense rolling. I think they had
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: three takeaways yesterday. The week prior to this game, they
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: are getting takeaways now. They didn't have any this week.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: The Bears also lost the turnover margin and still won.
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: That's probably why it was close. But shout out Dennis Allen.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: The group finally is playing like they did last year.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: I don't know if they led the league, but they
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: had an insane amount of takeaways last year. Right now,
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: they are rolling to the ball. Geno Smith had 119
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: yards through the air and only 59 rushing yards, I believe. Um,
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: for the, for the jets, I'm looking it up right now. Yeah.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: One person carried the ball for the jets. They had
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: 14 carries 59 yards for Braylon Allen, Gino Smith. Look,
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: I like Frank Reich offensive coordinator. I think Gino's actually
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: playing pretty well. They're, they're not just an easy win,
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: but for a backup quarterback at home to get this, um, crazy. Uh,
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: but the bears defense to me, like they're playing complimentary football.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: They're getting off the field on third down. Um, They're
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: just now figuring out who they are defensively, what their
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: identity wants to be. I think this team, and I'm
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: not saying this, I think they're one of the best
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: teams in the entire NFC. And I think if they
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: want to make a run at this thing, I think
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: Caleb Williams on the bench has learned a different perspective.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: Like if I'm on the bench and I'm in the
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: backup and then you're always playing as a starter, you
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: sometimes don't get to see it from a different vantage point.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: The fact that they're able to be three and one
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: with him learning on the sideline, you see him in
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: the bathrobe, dancing, getting excited. I know he's getting close.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: It'll be interesting to see how he does when he
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: comes back. But I just I love this team in
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: with the run game that they have. It's taking pressure
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: off the quarterback. If their defense can continue to secure takeaways.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: I think the biggest difference this year, the Bears know
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: exactly who they are, exactly what's expected about them. And
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: the fact of the matter is, this team can travel
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: in the playoffs. We talk about it all the time.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: How do you travel in the playoffs? You have a
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: run game. You have a defense. They're not cardiac kids.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: Remember those fourths? I think they won 10 out of
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: their however many games they won in the fourth quarter
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: or come from behind wins. This is different. Now, you're
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: going to need some of those to get rolling, but
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: I've just been super impressed with the Bears. Three separate
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: quarterbacks and the Jets. Look, there's not a lot to
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: say about the Jets. The Jets is the Jets. All right,
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: before we get into the afternoon games, let's take a
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: quick break. This football season, whether you're buying tickets, booking travel,
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: or shopping for team gear, protect your pocket with Visa.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: Tapping to pay for a bootleg jersey without checking the card?
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: Not a pro move. Tapping to pay with Visa? That's
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: a pro move. Visa runs more than 500 security checks
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: to help identify fraud before transactions are approved, helping protect
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: your payment all the way to the end zone so
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: you can focus on other things, like whether boneless wings
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: are actually wings. Reaching for your card with five fingers
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: covered in buffalo sauce? That's a fumble waiting to happen.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: Not a pro move. Tapping to pay with Visa? Now
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: that's a pro move. Because with Visa, you're not responsible
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: for any charges you didn't make. So you can save
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: your defensive energy for something else like keeping Taylor away
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: from your nachos. This season, a great defensive play is
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: paying with Visa. The most trusted way to pay for
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: football fans everywhere. Alright, back here on the first read.
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: We just did the early slate of games. Let's get
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: into my two favorite afternoon games. And that is the 49ers-
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: Broncos 49ers end up winning 24-14. This was a closer
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: game than I thought. It was interesting to see how
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: these two teams matched up because me, I think the
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: 49ers clearly clearly the best team in the NFC right
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: now like to me it's not even close we just
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: got done talking about the Bears San Francisco's 4-0 then
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: you go to the Broncos new play caller not quite
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: the the talent that they had last year even though
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: but they they end up getting Jalen Waddle back like
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: all these things but they're two and two They're 2-2
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: in a really tough division. Bo Nix has just been
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: all right. Look, on this channel, you know I love
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: me some Bo Nix. And we'll talk about him. Let's
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: start with the 49ers, though. Brock Purdy, 19 of 30,
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: 218 yards, two touchdowns. He didn't play his best game.
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: But I would say he's playing the position. And you
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: say that, right? You're like, Chase, he didn't play his
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: best game. Guess what? He still had 107 quarterback rating.
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: He still completed 19 of 30 for 218 yards. He
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: still was absolutely money in the fourth quarter. Against... A
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: very good, a very good Broncos defense that can get
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: after the passer. CMC had a rushing touchdown. Juice figured,
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: had a little knee injury. Hope he's okay because he
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: actually makes this offense go. George Kittle has some wheels.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw it, but he's rolling
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: to the left. Brock Purdy, it's like a fake to
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: the right, rolling to the left, throws this to Kittle,
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: and then Kittle took off. Like, how good is it
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: to have George Kittle back? George went for four for
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: 70 and a touchdown. Mike Evans, five for 76 yards.
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: let's just talk about the job that Brock Purdy and
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan has done. Cause we're going to get to
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: the Broncos and I have a lot of thoughts about
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: the Broncos. If you're a Broncos fan, stay with me here.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: But the 49ers to me, they're the best team. They're
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: the best coach team in the NFL. The way that
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: the 49ers and Kyle Shanahan are sequencing and calling plays
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: right now, Brock Purdy looks magnificent. He's using his legs
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: when he needs to had 10 carries, never liked to
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: have him be the second leading rusher in terms of
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: attempts in a game. 10 carries for 29 yards. CMC
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: had 15 for 52. But they ended up running for
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: 140 yards. Versus defense like this, your play calling has
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: to be completely different. And your mindset as a quarterback
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: versus Broncos defense has to be completely different. You're probably
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: not going to get some massive throws down the field,
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: although they had that 56-yarder to kill. But most of
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: it was dinking and dunking, playing in front of the sticks.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: Vance Joseph, the defensive coordinator for the Broncos, he makes
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: everything stay in front of you. So you really have
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: to pick and choose your spots. to be aggressive as
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: a play caller, knowing that this game was like 3-3 forever,
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: or 10-3. 49ers ended up scoring, and then the Broncos
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: ended up scoring. So this looked like a little bit
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: of a back-and-forth game. But the way Brock Purdy is
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: playing the quarterback position right now is super impressive. And
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: I say that because the target shares, like I'm just
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: going to read these target shares. I hope you like
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: to get nerdy in here. Mike Evans, he's spreading it around.
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: I might get to what it means. Mike Evans, eight targets.
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: George Kittle, six targets. Deebo Samuel, six targets, which, by
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: the way, I think he's sort of like a sneaky
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: MVP for that team. Playing extremely well, also had a touchdown. CMC,
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: five targets. So you have one, two, three, four. Four
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: guys that have the lion's share of your targets, 26
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: total out of the 29. But you see how easily
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: they are complementary to one another because you can't really
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: focus in on one person in this offense. If I
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: had to pick the one person on this offense other
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: than CMC, other than George Kittle, that's made a massive
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: difference is Mike Evans. Like five for 76, average 15.2 yards,
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: multiple third down catches. I just think when you have
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: a guy like Mike Evans that you know is going
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: to get one-on-one coverage because you have all these other dudes,
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: CMC and George Kittle, it makes you relax as a quarterback.
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: The fact that they were able to get on the
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: same page so quickly together, I think that's what's impressive. Obviously, Mike,
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: I think he's one of the better receivers of all time.
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: coming over from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. But the job
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: and the coaching, it's always come down to injuries, that substation,
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: all that stuff. The fact of the matter is they
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: are playing really well. Their defense is playing a lot
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: better than a lot of people think. So to have
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: those guys back into the building, it's really, really good.
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: And it's not weird to say or different to say
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: that Brock Purdy– looks like the best quarterback in football.
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: And it's not weird or anything to say that the
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: 49ers look like the best team in football. They're going
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: to continue to, um, to get better. Look at their
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: schedule though. I think the Seahawks game will be interesting commanders.
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: I mean, there's a real, very real chance they could
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: be seven, eight. No, I think the biggest thing is,
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: can you stay healthy? Um, but I love the way
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: the 49ers play. Let's get to the Broncos side of things. Um,
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: It's just been a really up and down season. And
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: I think it starts with the play caller, Davis Webb.
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: I'm not putting blame on him. I think it starts
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: with the play caller. I think it starts with Sean
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: Payton a little bit. I think it starts with the
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: quarterback a little bit. They don't know who they are identity-wise.
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: And a lot of people don't understand this, but everyone
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: just thought Davis Webb would go in and call the
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: exact same Sean Payton plays. Guess what? It's not. That's
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: not the case. He hasn't just called the same plays.
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: They've added a few things. I was able to be into...
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: meetings with them last offseason this offseason and just really
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: understand like what's happening I got to go to training
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: camp and we sat down with Sean Payton a couple
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: years ago and Sean's my guy saw him at the
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: hall of fame with Drew Brees and look I would
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: imagine at some point Sean's going to be more involved
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: in the play calling and I'm not saying that this
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: is a Davis web issue by any chance or any
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: means but when you're a first-time play caller and you
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: have Sean Payton under you it's almost like Bill Parcells
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you guys heard this but Sean
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: Payton was talking about play calling. He was asked, I
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: think by Peter Schrager or somebody about how it's like
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: to sort of watch someone else do what you do
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: so well, right? That that's what, and just, and he's like,
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: it's hard. It's really hard. And I think through, through
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: the day and through the times that they're going, I
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: think it's going to be interesting to see sort of
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: what happens there. The defense to me played. Okay. I
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: just think this is going to come down to a
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: season where if, Davis Webb can't get on the same
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: page with Bo Nix. I like the fact that Jalen
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: Waddell had a touchdown. But you can't go into a
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: game and have R.J. Harvey, who I love, he has
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: 10 targets. Like he has 10 targets in a game.
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: He's your leading targeter. He's got 10 catches. The next
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: most catches is five for 35 in Jalen Waddell. I
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: like that he ended up getting a touchdown there. And
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: then another thing, too, and this has been a problem
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: for the Broncos, and it's sort of been a problem
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: for Sean Payton, even from his New Orleans days. 22 carries,
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: 82 rushing yards. You can't do that. You have to
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: be aggressive in games like this. You have to push
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: the ball down the football field. You can't have Bo
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: Nix throwing it 42 times, and you're running at 22.
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's a two-to-one rate. That's just, to me,
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: that doesn't make a lot of sense. I think the Broncos,
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: to me, they got to get their stuff right, man.
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: Like you're looking at them, they get the Chargers next week.
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: Then they got Seahawks and they got Cardinals and they
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: got Chiefs, man. They got to be above 500. They
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: got to figure out who they are identity wise. But yeah,
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: it's just, it was a good game. But I think
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: the best game of the slate, Chiefs Raiders. Like the
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: Chiefs Raiders to me, 30 to 27, Kenneth Walker, Patrick
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: Mahomes taking over again. Can you just, can we just
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: give a golf clap? Kenneth Walker. Sean Payton, or sorry,
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: Andy Reid, Patrick Mahomes, 175 yards and two touchdowns on
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: the ground. This is a completely different football team with
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: those two at the helm. Like Kenneth Walker has completely changed.
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: We did a breakdown on SportsCenter. I was at SportsCenter.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: We were at Mississippi State, Alabama game. And they said, hey, Chase,
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: you want to talk to Chiefs Raiders? I was like, yeah,
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: did some digging, all this stuff. Last week against the Dolphins,
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: and I don't know the stats here because these are
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: next-gen stats. Last week against the Dolphins, Patrick Mahomes had
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: 14 completions and 14 attempts on play action. You know
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: who the number one team in the league is at
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: using play action? I think it's 36% of the time.
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: It's the Kansas City Chiefs. The Kansas City Chiefs for me.
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: Just absolutely insane. I think what they're doing is really
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: next level. I think I have enjoyed everything about this team.
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: I think they figured out how to win football games.
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: I feel like they have figured out ways to really
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: step up their game and change who they are offensively.
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: And one of those reasons why I think they played
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: really well is Tyquan Thornton. And man, it was really bad.
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: he caught this cover zero post. He ended up, looked
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: like his ankle was moving back inside. If you're queasy, don't,
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: you don't want to talk about it. You don't want
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: to figure that out. Um, because it's just not great,
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: but he, he has been their biggest deep threat this year.
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: And he comes up, they run this cover zero post.
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: Mahomes does a good job stepping back, firing this pigskin
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: down the field. He hits it, gets tackled. And I
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: just think that's a huge loss. He's been a huge
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: part of their deep game. Um, The Chiefs, it was
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: a really close game. They scored to take the lead,
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: and then what happened was the Raiders fumbled on the
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: ensuing kickoff, and Kenneth Walker scored on the first play after.
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: And if you're looking defensively, I think this Chiefs team
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: is good. I think they're better than they thought. Um,
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: I think the fact that they're 4-0, uh, is, is
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: really impressive. I think the fact that, um, they got
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: a really difficult schedule coming up bodes well for them
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: that they're 4-0. The Chargers are always, uh, play them good.
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: They got the Seahawks, uh, and then they got the
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: Broncos and then it's easy from there. Jets, Chiefs, or Jets, Falcons, uh, Cardinals.
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: But I like the way Mansour Delane's playing. Um, uh,
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: I do think that, But offensively, though, they're going to
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: have to carry it. I think they're a different team,
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: and I think it's really good. Now let's get to
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: the Raiders because the Raiders are 3-1. Could you believe
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: at the start of this game that the Raiders were
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: playing for a chance at the first place in the
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: AFC West? To me, it was next level. I think
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins and the Raiders, they're for real. I love
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: watching him play. Kirk has played really well. He's thrown
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: 11 touchdowns. He threw an interception today, but he's 365 yards.
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: And Brock Bowers, a baller, Michael Mayer, Ashton Jitty, they
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: look good. And I can't tell you how much I've
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: enjoyed watching Clint Kubiak call these plays. You've forgotten about
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: Fernando Mendoza. I've forgotten about Fernando Mendoza. I was completely
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: wrong on it, I guess. I think I was the
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: one who was like, hey, you know what? We need
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: to play him sooner rather than later. Well, guess what?
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: Not so fast. The Raiders are three and one. I
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: think they're for real. I think Ashton Jindy, I think
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: the way that Clint Kubiak is able to sequence these
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: play calls, I think it's great. This seemed like a
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: heavyweight matchup, sort of, and it's weird to say because,
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: you know, it's the Raiders, and I think the Raiders'
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: defense is good. I just think Patrick Mahomes, I think
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: he's got that clutch gene back. It's been a while.
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: His knee feels really good. But yeah, I've just been
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: super impressed with this entire game. We're going to do
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: something new here. We're going to do a little trending up,
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: trending down. We're going to pick three players, coaches, or
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: teams that are trending up and what I liked about
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: their performance and three players that are trending or coaches
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: or teams that are trending down. Let's get into it.
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: How about Drake May? He's like, if you had two
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: arrows on this, if we have two arrows, can we
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: just get them like pointing way up? Because Drake May
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: handled the bills their first loss There's been so much
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: talk about Drake May and his mechanics. And look, I
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: love Dan Orlowski and I love everyone else that he's
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: breaking down. Like the left knee's not bent, all this stuff.
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: You know what, Drake May? Mike Grable said, that's enough.
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: I've had enough of that. 269 yards, three touchdowns, had
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: a pick. Also led the team in rushing. Can't have
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: that happen with 54 yards. Had three fumbles. I get it.
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: Only lost one. But when I look at a quarterback
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: and I look at mechanically, he did have a little
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: bit of a flaw in his mechanics, but he was
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: just so sick and tired. Everyone's talking about, like, Drake May,
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: look at the schedule last year. Look at how you're doing. Look,
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: I get it. You have to figure it out, and
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: you have Josh McDaniels going. I just love the fact
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: that he's playing really well. Like, Patriots receiver core is
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: absolutely getting banged up. Like, you don't have A.J. Brown
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: out there. You have a hell of a one-handed catch
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: by Efton Chisholm, the third for the game-winning touchdown. Did
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: you guys see that Moss catch? No, but seriously, I
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: think Drake May, to me, He's been outstanding this year.
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: The next player and team. Can we do player and team? Yes,
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: we can. Deshaun Watson and the Browns. Who in their
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: right mind would have thought that Deshaun would have the
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: Browns at 3-1 atop the AFC North? Not me. Not me.
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: Three straight weeks. He has led a go-ahead drive in
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: the fourth quarter for a third straight week. The one
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: thing I really like about Deshaun is... He's not going
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: to be like this ultimate pocket passer, but what he
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: is doing, he's actually staying away from sacks at a
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: really high clip, in my opinion. He's able to move
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: a little bit, and he's keeping his head down the field.
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: He's also running the football really well. I think the Browns'
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: defense is legit. I think this team is sustainable. You
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: look at their core, and their core players from Jutkins
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: to Harold Fannin to both of the rookie receivers, like
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: Denzel Boston, Casey Concepcion– Like they got the Jets next week.
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: Who had the Browns possibly being 4-1? I just want
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: to like, there's been a lot of off the field
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: stuff going on with the Browns and Watson. And yes,
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: the Browns have two first round picks next year. And
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: this quarterback class from college, it's real. I don't even
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: want to talk about that right now. There's a lot
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: of people talking about that. I don't even want to
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: talk about this. I just want to enjoy the fact
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: that Browns fans have not booed Deshaun Watson. All right.
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: We talked about him, but trending up, Ben Johnson. The
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: Bears can win with anyone at quarterback. We talked about it.
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: I don't want to spend a lot of time here,
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: but the last two games without Caleb Williams, 2-0, Case Keenum,
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: Tyson Bajent, get this, combined 49 of 68, 515 yards,
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: 50 total points. That's without your starter. That's with your
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: quarterback three. That's with your quarterback two. They're relying on
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: the run game a lot, as they should. 360 rush
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: yards in the last two games. Offense hasn't missed a beat, though,
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: and the defense has only allowed 19 points. That's what
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: you want, and we talked about it, with a team
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: that doesn't have their starter. We know points are going
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: to be at a premium. Can you hold? Can this
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: defense hold? Yes. I think when Caleb Williams gets back,
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: other than the 49ers, which we talked about, they could
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: be the best-looking team in the entire NFC. All right,
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: let's get a training down. I don't really do negative
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: stuff a lot, but I'm going to do some negative
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: stuff early. Aaron Rodgers and Mike McCarthy. Did you see
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: the comment? What in the world was that? Like call
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: them an a-hole and Rogers is like doing his thing
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: and showing up Mike McCarthy and stuff like that. These
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: two are like an old married couple. You're going to
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: have moments where they're yelling at each other's throats. I
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: think Rogers has played pretty well in this offense, but
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: Rogers yelling, call the effing play camera switches to McCarthy saying,
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: you know, there's a lot of cussing. I don't like
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: to cuss, but like that's all time quarterback and head
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: coach communication. I, I like the way Aaron Rodgers is playing.
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: I think they got to figure this out. And you
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: could tell that McCarthy in the press conference after was like, ah,
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: shouldn't have caught it. There's always, if you're watching the
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: show and you're young, there's always people watching. Be careful
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: with what you say. All right, let's get to, oh
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: my God, Mike McDaniel, Justin Herbert. What's going on? What
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: in the world is going on? I have no clue. Herbert,
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: first play of the game, pick, ended up throwing two picks,
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: getting sacked four times, under pressure the entire game, got
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: hit nine times. Offense just looks so out of sorts.
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: Herbert does not look comfortable whatsoever. If you remember, Mike
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: McDaniel was supposed to be the savior for Justin Herbert.
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: He was supposed to make Justin Herbert better. Justin Herbert
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: has regressed. Now, who do they have at receiver other
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: than Ladd McConkie? Those two tackles are pretty good. That offense, though? like, okay,
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: I'm Ryan Hampton. Okay. Like, but you need, you need studs.
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: Quentin Johnson's not a stud receiver. He's a good receiver.
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: You don't have anyone that can separate. And I'm not
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: saying I'm blaming all the other pieces and not blaming Justin.
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: Cause Justin has not played well at all. Something's got
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: to change though. Like something, something has to change quickly.
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: The fact that they're on for, like I played for
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: Justin or with Justin, I played for the chargers. That's
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: the worst feeling in the world. Definitely. If we had
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: two arrows down, that's them. All right, last one. Nick Sirianni,
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: coaching decisions. He is definitely trending down. He single-handedly lost
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: at Eagles this game. Some of the coaching decisions he made,
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: let's just go through them. This isn't a normal occurrence,
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: but it happens more often than you think. Head coaches,
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: in my opinion, if you're not calling offense, if you're
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: not calling defense, your job... Nick Cerrone, is to manage
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: the game. Sometimes things go haywire. Sometimes things go wrong.
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: It happens more likely than not. Let's just go over them.
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: He had the opportunity to go up 13 in the
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: fourth quarter. Went for it from the five-yard line and
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: didn't get it. I can't tell you how much that
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: I do not like head coaches taking points. I know
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: they're probably taking analytics. Take the points. Guess what? Rams
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: went 98 yards in six plays to make it a
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: three-point game. He also went for it on their own
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: 38-yard line. Didn't get it. Did he realize that he
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: didn't have Lane Johnson, he didn't have Saquon Barkley, he
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: didn't have Devontae Smith? Those are three of his best
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: players at every position group, and you are making these decisions.
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: I'm not the one out there. I've played a few years,
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: so I have some pretty good figuring out and explanations
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: of what's happening. The Eagles had 172 yards of total offense.
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: That's their lowest total in a game the last 12 years.
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: Eagles fans are imploding. Like, I can't even imagine, like,
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: Philly fans, like, I can't even imagine what's going on here.
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: 68 net passing yards. Lowest total in a regular season
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: in the last 23 years. Not good. That's the training
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: up and training down section. Now let's get to what
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: I like to call good ball, bad ball. My good
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: ball winner of the week, and we talked about him,
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: it's CeeDee Lamb. Helmet stickers, good ball, game ball, whatever
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: you want to do. We're doing good ball award, though.
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: CeeDee Lamb, 17 catches, 189 yards. and the game-winning touchdown
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: on the sickest route ever. We talked about it in
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: the open. Why are they playing outside leverage? I don't
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: get it. I don't understand it. Boom, got a little post,
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: hits that. The biggest thing that I think about this guy,
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: him and Dak Prescott are single-handling carrying the Cowboys. That's
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: why the Cowboys have won these games. 21 targets. I
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: don't think you understand just how difficult that is to
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: be targeted 21 times, almost half the pass plays. that
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys threw. But congratulations, the first annual, or first
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: week ever, you win my good ball award. And yes,
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: we are going to get the bad ball award. I'm
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: not even going to spend a whole bunch of time
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: on it. Nick Sirianni. Nick Sirianni, we talked about it.
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: You single-handed the last Eagles game. You are my first annual,
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: first weekly loser of that, or do we call it
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: a winner if it's bad ball? He's the winner. of
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: the Bad Ball Award. And let's finish off the show.
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: We did the two-minute drill last time. There's just a
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: lot of stuff going on in the NFL from the Cowboys,
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: everyone else. Let's just talk about some of the actual
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: things that have been happening. Joe Burrow, what is happening, dude?
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: Jamar Chase had a concussion. The Jacksonville Jaguars, I think,
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: are for real. But you have 10 penalties for 100
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: yards in the first half of Cincinnati. It's the most
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: since Cowboys in 2023 since Week 13. Kyler Murray looked better.
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: Vikings won with five field goals, moved to 4-0. I
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: thought he looked really good in the second half. I
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: thought this Vikings team, this is what you want out
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: of a starting quarterback. I think it's really good. How
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: about the Commanders playing the third-string quarterback from Rutgers? He
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: was throwing some dimes, though. Marcus Murray got hurt. Now
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: you're without Jaden Daniels. Now you're without Marcus Murray. I
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: hope he's okay. Commanders, David Blau, first-time play caller. Ah, stinks.
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: James Swenson, 250 yards, three touchdowns, and the Giants, and
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: I think one of the more entertaining– Games, Giants versus Cardinals.
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: Malik Nabors had over 100 yards. That's the Jameis Winston
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: that we know and love. Jameis got a lot of
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: crap this week. In weeks past, like, oh, you know,
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: you trade for J.J. McCarthy. Hey, man, congratulations. Biggest thing, too,
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: we didn't really cover this, but it's a big deal.
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson looked amazing. Didn't play in the second half
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: due to an ankle injury in their win against the Titans.
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: And somehow, someway, the Packers barely, which I think the
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: Packers are one of the worst teams in the NFL,
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: they snuck by the Bucs and quarterback Jalen Daniels with
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: their backup. But yeah, I hope you like the show.
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: We're going to go through five games like this. We're
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: going to do game ball winners. We're going to do
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: all this stuff. This is the first three. Make sure
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: you like and subscribe. I don't like saying that, but
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: it's very easy. Like, subscribe, do all this show. We're
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: going to break down three quarterbacks tomorrow on the breakdown
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: show on my YouTube channel. Thank you so much, man.
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: We will see you next week.
