1:13
Okay, I am your chief head of the table chief back row diamonds. I am the man with the plan

1:25
You know where we all we are in the great state some North Carolina eating some good
1:32
Barbecue sandwiches with some coastline. Yeah, that's right. We're doing all of that and more. Okay, but I
1:38
Don't like any of those other titles because you know why there's a title that I very
1:42
Value the most okay. I am your GM who currently is not on a team right now, but guess what?
1:49
Guess what you already know what I'm getting ready to say you already know what I'm getting ready to say
1:54
I am your host kale on three one two three. Let's lock in
1:59
All right folks, let's get into the meat and potatoes
2:08
All right folks, let's get into the meat and potatoes of everything that is going on in
2:30
the league and there's a lot going on the league.
2:32
Okay, there is a lot.
2:33
There is a curveball that happened this morning when I was looking at ESPN.
2:39
I'm finishing up on the notes for this episode and what happens?
2:44
Robbersolid gets fired.
2:46
Robbersolid got fired.
2:48
Ain't that some shit?
2:50
Ain't that some shit?
2:51
That's just crazy, man.
2:52
But you know what?
2:53
We got to get into it.
2:54
You have to talk about it.
2:55
So now, former Jets head coach Robbersolid was fired this morning by the owner, Woody
3:02
Johnson.
3:03
Yeah, there's, I honestly, folks, I'm still, I'm still in shock that this actually happened.
3:12
But you know, I had a feeling something like this was going to happen once they did, once
3:18
they, you know, once the game was over in London, because just of how poorly they played
3:23
that game against the Vikings, like the offense was just absolutely atrocious.
3:29
And we already knew that nine times out of 10 that Robbersolid was going to be the sacrificial
3:34
lamb, unfortunately.
3:36
And it sucks.
3:37
It sucks because I'm not saying that Robbersolid was doing this tremendous job.
3:42
And you know, he was an all pro, you know, great, you know, one of the best head coaches
3:48
in the league.
3:49
I'm not saying that, but you know, he did not get a fair shake in this situation.
3:53
He did not.
3:54
Now, there are some things that, you know, he has to take responsibility for and there's
3:59
other things that other people have to take responsibility for.
4:01
But the fact of the matter is, folks, Robbersolid was fired just, you know, out of emotion,
4:09
out of emotion, nothing else, nothing else, not because of he was doing a bad job, or
4:16
there was friction in the locker room, or in those different types of things.
4:19
He got fired out of emotion.
4:21
Okay.
4:22
Now, when we look at this, okay.
4:24
We have to sort of go back in order to move forward, right?
4:27
Because I feel like there were certain seeds that were planted in front of us that we didn't
4:32
really pay a whole lot of attention to.
4:35
But now that this situation has occurred, now we have to bring those things back up.
4:39
Okay.
4:40
So remember, you remember back around March when, you know, when the NFL was having their
4:44
meetings and whatnot, I think in Florida or whatever they have it, there was a report
4:50
going around that, you know, various journalists were confirming that there was a heated argument
4:55
between Robbersolid and Woody Johnson, right?
4:58
And you know, once that story had came out, you know, they were trying to downplay it
5:02
and all those different types of things.
5:05
But, you know, to me, I feel like that was probably when things probably started to build
5:10
up.
5:11
And then as time continued to go on and on and on and on, now you have, you know, a full
5:18
blown fire at this point.
5:21
And then it also doesn't help that, you know, Robbersolid said stuff about how Aaron needed
5:25
to, you know, to be there, you know, with many camp and all those different types of
5:30
things because Aaron likes to go on these, you know, excursions and whatnot.
5:35
So you can definitely tell that there was something brewing, honestly speaking here,
5:43
because of the situation.
5:44
Even, even when you look at, you know, Quincy Williams, his comments after the game against
5:49
the Vikings, this is what he said.
5:51
And I quote, I'm going to be honest, people get tired of hearing the same shit.
5:57
People gotta people gotta start taking accountability.
6:00
People get tired of hearing the same thing every week.
6:03
That's all I gotta say.
6:04
Now he probably said a whole lot without saying a whole lot, right?
6:08
Because whether we want to admit or not, the defense has been the bright spot of this entire
6:14
team since Robert Salah has, you know, has been the head coach for the Jets.
6:18
That's been the bright spot, right?
6:20
Quincy Williams sauce, you know, Quinn and Williams, the past rushers and whatnot.
6:26
That's a really good defense.
6:27
It is.
6:28
It is a really good defense.
6:30
And it was just the offense that's been lackluster.
6:33
And it's been lackluster for quite a while now.
6:36
And granted, Robert Salah was trying to get another offensive coordinator.
6:42
He was trying to do it, but nobody wanted to touch the job.
6:46
Now that could be for, you know, various reasons because of, you know, unstable ownership or
6:53
and Rogers or just, you know, they just didn't, they were looking for other opportunities,
6:58
whatever the case may be.
6:59
But the fact of the matter is nobody else wanted.
7:03
And they were stuck with Nate Hackett, who in my eyes is not often to coordinator.
7:08
He's not.
7:09
He is basically just somebody who is connected to Aaron Rogers and basically is riding off
7:16
of the coattail of Aaron Rogers.
7:17
I will continue to say that publicly, privately, whatever you want.
7:21
Okay.
7:22
If you've got a problem with it, you can follow.
7:24
You can talk about on the YouTube, the Instagram or the tick tock.
7:28
That's just what it is at this point, because whether we want to admit it or not, Aaron
7:33
Rogers in my mind has a hand to play in this because you're not going to make this type
7:38
of decision without you having input from other people.
7:42
Because let's be real here.
7:44
Let's really address the elephant in the room in this situation here.
7:48
Okay.
7:49
This has been an absolute shit show.
7:52
And I mean exactly what I say in absolute shit show.
7:56
Okay.
7:57
You trade for a quarterback who basically was on the edge of retirement and whatnot.
8:03
Okay.
8:04
Cool.
8:05
You trade for him.
8:06
All of his buddies, all of his buddies from Alan Lazar, Tyrande Cobb, you got Nate Hackett,
8:15
all these different people, right?
8:17
All these different people for him, for this one person, because y'all were under the impression
8:22
that if we get him, he's going to take us to the next level.
8:26
He's going to take us to the place that we haven't been in decades.
8:29
No.
8:30
No.
8:31
All he has done is been a cancer to the Jets locker room.
8:36
That's all he's been.
8:38
See, everybody else takes accountability for the things that they could control, even the
8:43
things that they couldn't control.
8:45
They still take accountability for it.
8:47
Aaron Rodgers does not take accountability.
8:50
He doesn't.
8:51
He does not take accountability for anything that he does, for anything that he says, and
8:55
it shows.
8:56
It absolutely shows.
8:57
You're talking about somebody that is as sensitive of a four year old.
9:01
That is how sensitive Aaron Rodgers is.
9:04
For someone to basically buy his body language, because when you look at that game, after he
9:10
started to throw some of those picks, you could tell he was basically done with the
9:14
game.
9:15
That's not what you want as your quarterback.
9:17
The difference between Tom Brady and Peyton Manning when they left their respective teams
9:22
and they went to the other teams is not only did they win championships, but they had a
9:28
pedigree with them.
9:30
They had a pedigree with them.
9:33
It wasn't just, you know, oh, you know, it's Peyton Manning and Tom Brady.
9:39
No, these are people who are some of the best of the best and who demand greatness from everyone,
9:48
from the person that was drafted in the first round to the undrafted person.
9:52
He demands greatness out of everyone.
9:55
And it showed because what happened?
9:57
They won a championship.
9:59
Now, to some people, you know, you'll probably say, well, Aaron Rodgers could have done it.
10:04
No, he couldn't have because, you know why Aaron couldn't get out of Aaron's own way.
10:09
I'm going to say that again.
10:10
Aaron Rodgers could not get out of his own way.
10:13
His ego has to become has to be constantly stroked all the time in order to please him
10:20
and look what look what what it's caused.
10:23
It's caused for Rob Asala to be fired.
10:26
That's what it's cause.
10:27
And it's absolutely very frustrating because now guess what?
10:34
Now everyone's going to be talking about, well, Rob Asala did a bad job.
10:38
Rob Asala did a bad job.
10:39
I'm just going to tell you his his record.
10:41
I'm going to tell you his his his record right now.
10:44
His coaching record is 20 and 36.
10:47
Now you're probably thinking, ah, man, that's a horrible coaching record.
10:50
No, no, no, no.
10:51
It yes it is.
10:53
But at the same time, we have to be real here.
10:55
Zach, well, he had Zach Wilson, which that was an absolute bust.
10:59
He you know, he he was not dealt with the best cards.
11:05
He was not.
11:06
And, you know, for whatever reason, I feel like me personally, me personally, I feel
11:13
they I feel like they they probably could have had an opportunity to maybe get someone
11:18
like a CJ Stroud or whomever from these previous from these recent quarterback draft classes
11:26
then to just stick with a 40 year old who, you know, doesn't know if he wants to play
11:32
football or not and is really not committed to playing the game of football.
11:37
Like you can tell by Aaron Rodgers that you can tell by his body language, his posture,
11:43
the way that he talks and all those things that he is not fully committed to playing
11:47
football.
11:48
You, when you look at Tom Brady, he still has that fire in his eyes.
11:53
Even that even at his current age right now, Tom Brady still has that fire that want that
11:59
desire to continue to go out there to compete into possibly win championships.
12:05
Now, and that is why in my mind, I will always value Tom Brady more than Aaron Rodgers.
12:13
Now yes, Aaron Rodgers was more physically gifted and whatnot, but Tom Brady had this
12:18
resilient mindset that no matter what come hell or high water, I'm going to win this
12:23
damn game.
12:25
We're going to win it one way or the other.
12:27
And it showed even during COVID, even during COVID, Tom Brady got in trouble because he
12:34
wanted to practice with the receivers in a park, in a park during the pandemic, during
12:41
the height of the pandemic, where everybody was being told to stay in the house, mask
12:46
up, you couldn't do anything.
12:48
That just shows you how committed and how crazy he was to, you know, to wanting to win
12:53
to be competitive.
12:54
Aaron Rodgers on the other hand, I don't see that.
12:58
And I would not be surprised if there's more and more leaks that are going to be coming
13:03
out within the next few days in the next few weeks, you know, of this whole debacle of
13:07
this whole situation.
13:09
I would not be surprised.
13:11
I wouldn't because of this lackluster, you know, quarterback that they have that, you
13:16
know, it's a poll is being labeled as the savior for the jets that's going to, you
13:21
know, lead them to a championship.
13:23
No, no, he wasn't.
13:24
He wasn't going to lead you to a playoff when he wasn't.
13:28
It's all about Aaron.
13:29
The world, the world was revolves around Aaron.
13:33
And if it doesn't guess what's going to happen, he's going to say something about it.
13:37
He's going to get in his feelings.
13:38
He's going to power.
13:39
He's going to cry.
13:40
And it shows.
13:41
But you know what?
13:43
This puts now all the pressure on Aaron Rodgers.
13:46
You no longer have nobody else to help defend you and your bad performances.
13:51
You now have to do a better job because if you don't, they're going to get rid of you
13:57
too, Aaron.
13:58
You don't even know it.
13:59
You don't even realize it.
14:02
If the owner quote unquote, air quote, big air quotes gets rid of him, what makes you
14:08
think he won't get a view, Aaron?
14:11
Because if we're being honest, the main person that should be getting fired is offensive
14:15
coordinator because the offense has been stacked in, which then this tells into that
14:21
game.
14:22
We might also want to want to go into.
14:23
I wanted to talk about the Steelers and the Cowboys, but because of this breaking news
14:27
and because of this, I think we do need to have this connection go into the Vikings and
14:33
Jets game.
14:35
And another thing, okay, when we look at, you know, the Tom Brady and paint manning,
14:42
you know, situations and whatnot, because I know there's going to be people that's
14:45
going to be talking about it.
14:47
Guess what?
14:48
You don't have to worry about, you know, if they're not committed to playing football
14:51
or not, you don't have to worry about, you know, their leadership.
14:56
You don't have to question any of those type of things because why they have a track record?
15:00
They have, you can see what they were doing before they got to wherever they went to,
15:06
right?
15:07
Before, before pain manning went to the Broncos, guess what?
15:10
Everybody knew that pain manning was well respected, that he demanded greatness out of
15:15
you.
15:16
Same thing with Tom Brady.
15:17
You knew that being on a team with Tom Brady, he was going to be very detail oriented.
15:22
He was going to get in your ass a few times when, when, when he sees that you're slacking,
15:27
but guess what?
15:28
Guess what's going to happen?
15:29
He's going to lead you to a championship.
15:31
Now moving on to the Jets and Vikings game.
15:35
So let's start with Mr. Drama King himself, Aaron Rodgers.
15:38
So Aaron Rodgers was 29 for 54, 244, passing yards, two touchdowns, three picks, 4.5 yards
15:45
per 10 and 83.7 completion percentage, right?
15:49
Breeze Hall was nine attempts for 23 yards, 2.6 yards per carry and Garrett Wilson was
15:54
22 targets for 13 receptions, 101 yards, one touchdown, 7.8 receiving yards per reception,
16:00
right?
16:01
That's the Jets side.
16:02
Okay, cool.
16:03
Now to the Vikings side, okay?
16:07
Sam Darnold, 14 for 31 and 179 passing yards, one pick, 5.8 yards per 10 and a 45.2 completion
16:14
percentage.
16:15
Okay, cool.
16:16
Justin Jefferson, 14 targets for six receptions, 92 yards, 15.3 receiving yards per reception,
16:23
high channeler, 14 attempts for 30 yards, 2.1 rushing yards per carry.
16:28
Now when we look at this and in its totality, right, this was a very winnable game for both
16:37
sides.
16:38
It was just as much of a winnable game for the Jets as it was for the Vikings, okay?
16:43
But the thing that changed everything was the Vikings were playing more, they was playing
16:50
better defense and they were converting when it came to the picks.
16:55
They were converting.
16:56
They got a pick six and then they were just doing their thing.
17:00
And it was a point in time where Inter Rogers was looking like a deer looking at headlights.
17:09
That's how bad he looks.
17:10
And he just looks horrible.
17:14
He just looks absolutely horrible because even when we look at this, right, when we
17:22
look at the Jets offensive rankings, both passing and rushing according to NFL Pro, right, the
17:29
Jets passing offense is 19th in the league, 64.2 passing play percentage, 5.1 passing
17:38
yards per play, eight touchdowns.
17:41
Cool.
17:42
The Jets rushing offense dead last 30 second 30 second 35.8 run run rate percentage 3.6
17:53
rushing yards per play, three touchdowns.
17:56
This offense is stagnant.
17:57
It's stagnant, it's regressing, and it's costing them games.
18:02
The defense is doing the the defense is is is keeping them in games.
18:06
It's the offense.
18:08
You know, that's probably that's why you had people like Garrett Wilson who came out and
18:14
said what he said because why he knows that guess what, I was a little bit more productive
18:20
when we had Zach Wilson.
18:22
We ain't really been, you know, productive since they got the thing you hack it in Aaron
18:26
Rogers and it shows there were there was a play where Aaron Rogers threw a pick and he
18:32
literally threw it in double coverage.
18:34
The receiver was literally getting the the receiver had the corner literally right right
18:39
on his heels and he had a safety over top.
18:43
Why would you do that Aaron?
18:44
Why?
18:45
Now, if this was the Aaron of old, we all know he wouldn't have done that.
18:49
But this is the this is the area that you know that we have presented in front of us
18:53
and he did it.
18:55
He did it.
18:56
There were some times where the Jets were trying the Jets were trying to keep, you know,
19:01
they were trying to keep the team in it and they couldn't do it.
19:04
The offense could not do it for whatever reason and ultimately it costed them and this is
19:10
where we are right now.
19:12
Now we are at a crossroads where now the Jets, you know, have to figure out what do they
19:17
want to do moving forward.
19:18
Now the interim head coach, however, is reportedly somebody that is well known, well respected
19:25
around various coaching circles and apparently Kyle Shanahan actually was trying to see if
19:31
he can make him the defensive coordinator once D'Amico Rines had had departed.
19:37
But apparently the Jets did not allow that.
19:39
And so here we are.
19:42
I also have to mention that this new interim head coach also is a defensive minded head
19:47
coach as well.
19:48
So just just want to put that out there.
19:49
But when we look at this, you know, the Jets, the Jets are in a situation where right now
19:56
there's, there's a lot of turmoil, right?
19:59
There's a lot of instability in the locker room and you know, the only way that you can
20:04
sort of quiet it and silence it is with flings.
20:09
That's it.
20:10
No, I don't care what anyone says.
20:11
I want you to remember this.
20:13
This is a junkie nugget for every single person.
20:15
You can apply this for life anything.
20:17
Blankets, everything.
20:21
Winning blankets, everything.
20:23
If you if there is turmoil in the locker room and the quarterback is going at it with all
20:28
of his receivers, he hates all of his receivers, guts.
20:31
I mean, he can't stand to look at them.
20:34
But guess what?
20:35
If they're winning, you won't hear a peep about it.
20:38
But if you start losing, guess what happens?
20:40
That's where you're going to hear everything about it.
20:42
That's where you're going to hear all the rumors and this and that this leak and that
20:48
leak, all those different types of things.
20:50
That's what happens.
20:51
That is what happens.
20:53
And you know, it's a it's a nasty situation all around.
20:58
I want to continue to say it.
20:59
It's a very nasty situation.
21:01
It's a bad situation, you know, for the Jets offense because, you know, you have people
21:07
like Tom Ron Smith that went there, Mike Williams that went there, you know, and it's just
21:12
the funk.
21:13
It's just dysfunctional.
21:14
It's dysfunctional all around.
21:16
Like even with the Hassan Reddick situation, that probably could have been smoothed over
21:23
with Robert Salah.
21:24
But guess what?
21:27
You screwed it up.
21:28
You screwed it up.
21:29
Like it's this is this is just, oh man, this is this is going to be talked about for a
21:35
while, folks.
21:36
So, you know, buckle in, buckle up all those different types of things.
21:39
Now onto the game that everybody talked about the game that we probably, you know, missed
21:45
to probably a lot of sleep for in the game that, you know, we stayed up a little bit
21:49
longer than what we probably should have all for us to, you know, to lose, unfortunately.
21:55
So the steal was lost to the Cowboys.
21:57
So let's just get into it because there's a lot of twists and turns with it.
22:01
And we just just had to do it.
22:03
You just had to do it.
22:04
You just had to lose the way that we've lost.
22:08
Now let's just get into everything.
22:10
Okay, so that Crestcott was 2942 352 passing yards to touchdowns to interceptions, 8.4
22:18
yards per attempt and a 69% completion completion percent.
22:22
Rico, I don't even know how to pronounce your last name, dog.
22:26
I'm not no disrespect you.
22:27
I don't even know how to pronounce your last name was 20 attempts for 87 yards, 4.4 yards
22:34
per carry.
22:35
We had three rushes of 10 plus yards.
22:38
Jalen Tolbert 10 targets for seven receptions, 87 yards, one touchdown 12.4 receiving yards
22:45
per reception.
22:46
Justin Fields 15 for 27131 yards, two touchdowns, 4.9 yards per attempt, a 55.6 completion percentage.
22:56
Najee Harris 14 attempts for 42 yards, 3.3 yards per attempt, Van Jefferson 5 targets
23:05
for three receptions, 26 yards, 8.7 receiving yards per reception.
23:09
Now when we look at this, this was a very winnable game for the Steelers.
23:13
This was this should have been a game where basically you rebound from from the Colts
23:19
loss, right?
23:21
This was supposed to be a game where the defense gets back on track.
23:25
The offense starts to show a little bit more, all those different types of things.
23:28
It did not happen.
23:30
It did not happen.
23:32
And you know, I understand that there's people that, you know, initially they were saying,
23:36
Oh, Arthur Smith is a bad offensive coordinator.
23:39
Oh, you got it.
23:40
I'm gonna get rid of him.
23:41
I get all of that.
23:43
I do.
23:44
I understand that.
23:45
I know how you're feeling.
23:46
But when we look at it, you know, they were trying to be a little bit more aggressive
23:50
than what they have been in the last few games.
23:53
But at some point, you know, the deep shot to Conor Hayward and then the other deep shot
23:57
to Darnell Washington, if both of those two make those passes, that's that's seven points
24:04
on the board already.
24:06
Right.
24:07
So I mean, I just, I feel like the offense is once again stagnant.
24:14
And I think, you know, when we when we look at this, it's, it's sort of it brings back
24:19
the memories of Matt Canada, basically.
24:22
A stagnant offense that's not doing anything with, you know, with with the situation that,
24:29
you know, that that is present on the offense.
24:31
But if we're being real here, you know, I think we have to put a little bit of blame
24:35
on Omar.
24:37
I think we do.
24:38
I think he put the car before the horse.
24:40
I think he whiffed on on the brand and IEWIC situation.
24:47
And you know, I think he definitely whiffed on on the Deontay Johnson situation as well.
24:52
I think he really did because when we look at this, he just it the offense is struggling.
25:01
The offense is struggling.
25:02
It is the void of, you know, necessary talent within the receiver room.
25:08
And it's it's not good enough.
25:10
It's not good enough.
25:11
It's not.
25:12
And, you know, I understand George Pickens was supposed to be, you know, tested to see
25:18
if he was going to be the number one receiver and all those different types of things.
25:22
I get all of that.
25:23
But I think his ego is too much in the way and his attitude is too much of a problem
25:30
that, you know, it's causing problems.
25:33
It's causing problems.
25:35
There were literally plays when you look at the old 22 film where he was not where he
25:39
was not properly running at full speed to run his routes.
25:42
He was jogging, jogging while everybody else was was running at full speed and running
25:49
their routes and their brakes and holding their blocks and doing whatever he was jogging.
25:55
If you're a teammate, that makes you feel some type of way that makes you feel some
26:00
type of way.
26:01
And granted, George Pickens has all the talent in the world to be one of the best receivers
26:07
in the world.
26:08
He's taking that away from him.
26:09
But the only thing that is going to stop him from making the type of money that he wants
26:14
from getting the notoriety and respect that he feels like he deserves, guess what?
26:20
He has to be better.
26:21
His attitude has to be better.
26:23
We have seen multiple players who guess what the league is just like to hell with you.
26:30
Forget about your talent.
26:31
You may have all the talent in the world.
26:33
You may be one of the best of the best.
26:34
But guess what, if your attitude is some crap and everywhere you go, it's a problem.
26:40
Oh, they just won't deal with you.
26:42
They'll find you replacement.
26:43
They will get as close as they can to getting a spinning image of you.
26:48
And you know, it's a it's a it's a nasty situation.
26:52
And it also doesn't help when you have Mike Tomlin saying, you know, they they limited,
26:58
you know, George George Pickens, you know, snaps because they're they're they're they're
27:03
basing it off of quote unquote snap management, snap management.
27:08
George Pickens is 23 years old.
27:11
23 years old.
27:13
Why in the world do you want to do do snap management with him?
27:16
He's literally the best receiver that you have on the team.
27:20
Literally, he is the best person that you have in that receiver room and you want to do snap
27:25
management known as buying it, Mike.
27:28
No one is buying it, no one is this was a very winnable game.
27:33
This was a game that that the Steelers should have won.
27:37
And they didn't for whatever reason, it's not good enough.
27:41
The offense is starting off slow and it's not going.
27:45
This is not going to help you when you go up against the chiefs, the Eagles, the Ravens,
27:51
the Browns, all those other teams, it's not going to help you.
27:54
You have to come out guns blazing because guess what?
27:57
They're not going to do the same.
27:59
They're not.
28:00
They're trying to put points on the board as quickly as you do.
28:04
And you cannot have this defense that's one of the most expensive defense in the world
28:09
doing their part, but then the offense is not doing their part.
28:13
Arthur Smith, you got to do more screen passes, more, you know, jet sweeps.
28:18
You have Calvin Austin, you have someone who literally ran, I think, almost a 4243.
28:24
You can do a jet sweep.
28:26
You literally have Darno Washington, who was like basically a second right tackle who plays
28:30
tight end.
28:32
What are we doing here, folks?
28:33
There was literally a point in time.
28:36
And I lied to you not where I was literally able to pick up on the cadences and know exactly
28:42
if it was going to be a run or pass.
28:44
You want to know how I know?
28:45
Because every time that Justin Fields said, okay, we're good.
28:48
Oh, it's a run.
28:49
It's a run every time, every time, every time he said, we're good.
28:54
We're good.
28:55
Guess what?
28:56
It's a run.
28:57
It's a run.
28:58
And that if you would have told me that a Cowboys team without Michael Parsons, D-Law,
29:07
Daron Bland and Brandon Cooks would come into Pittsburgh and beat them, I would have called
29:13
you a liar.
29:14
Once again, it's this is classic Mike Tomlin.
29:19
He wins the games that he's not supposed to win and he lose the games that he's not
29:23
supposed to lose.
29:24
That's just what it is.
29:27
It's nothing else.
29:28
The defense were doing their things.
29:30
They were doing their thing.
29:31
They were the offense wasn't able to convert those turnovers into points.
29:37
And that's not good.
29:38
Now, granted, there are people that are saying, oh, Justin Fields need to be benched and whatnot.
29:43
No, no, because you are messing up his development.
29:47
This is the best version of Justin Fields that we have seen in its entirety of his entire
29:53
career.
29:54
And statistically speaking, probably going to be his best year in his entire career so
30:00
far.
30:01
Why in the world would you want to mess that up to put in someone like Russell Wilson?
30:06
No, no, no, no, no, no, you, you have to give Justin Fields a chance to redeem himself
30:12
because may I remind you, Steelers fans, Justin Fields almost made that comeback against the
30:18
Colts.
30:19
If he not fumbled and then George, then George Pickens fumbled, we probably would have won
30:25
that game.
30:26
We probably won that game.
30:28
You have to give him a chance.
30:30
Now, if he is still doing the same things that he's doing with the Raiders, then okay,
30:34
cool, there's nothing, there's nothing that you can do.
30:37
But if you want to do a real evaluation of what you have in both quarterbacks so you
30:43
can figure out if you're going to sign one long term or not, then you have to give them
30:48
a chance.
30:49
You have to give them a chance.
30:51
If you don't give them a chance, guess what?
30:53
You won't know what you have.
30:55
You won't.
30:57
You won't.
30:59
What is it that Russell Wilson can do now that Justin Fields can't do?
31:05
What is it?
31:06
Now, granted, we all knew that when Justin Fields was coming out of Ohio State, OHIO, I
31:13
just had to do that for my family that lives in Ohio.
31:16
I'm sorry.
31:17
Sorry, guys.
31:19
We knew that once he was coming out of Ohio that he was having problems with vision and
31:25
he wasn't able at times to look down at the field.
31:31
We knew all those different types of things.
31:33
You knew what you were getting when you traded for Justin Fields.
31:37
You knew it.
31:38
So if you knew it, then you know that this is a process.
31:42
This is how you know that if he is going to be the future quarterback, the future starting
31:47
quarterback of the Pittsburgh Steelers, or if this is basically going to be a one-year
31:50
rental, that's basically what it boils down to.
31:54
And granted, I understand today Mike apparently said that Russell Wilson is going to be ramping
32:03
up his practice and all those different types of things.
32:06
I just feel like personally that is going to hurt Justin Fields more than help him.
32:11
You have to continue to roll with this momentum.
32:14
This is the bumps and the bruises that comes with the season.
32:17
You win some and you lose some.
32:19
But it's what you do when you lose that matters the most.
32:23
It's Justin Fields comes back and he puts on a phenomenal game against the Raiders.
32:28
Then guess what?
32:29
All those forgiven move forward.
32:32
But if he continues to struggle, then that's when you have to make a necessary change.
32:36
That's just what it is.
32:38
Because when we look at things, according to NFL Pro, the Steelers passing offense is
32:46
ranked 27th in the league.
32:48
47.8 passing play percentage, 5.9 passing yards per play, five touchdowns.
32:55
The team rushing offense is 13th in the league, 52.2 run rate, 3.7 rushing yards per play,
33:04
3 touchdowns, 16 rushes of 10 plus yards or more and a 39.6 rushing success rate.
33:11
Now granted, I understand that the offense line is beat up and whatnot.
33:18
The run game is basically being relied on.
33:22
Najee Harris, I get all of that.
33:24
But still, you have to do more.
33:27
You have to do more.
33:28
You have to check the play calling.
33:30
And I get it.
33:31
Arthur Smith is trying to say, oh, the dam's going to break, dam's going to break.
33:37
But you have to give Justin Fields a chance.
33:39
Now, do I feel like the offense, do I feel like the coaches may not trust Justin Fields
33:44
all the way?
33:45
There's a possibility.
33:46
It does sort of feel like they're just, they're giving him the generic stuff and then holding
33:52
all the good stuff for us.
33:53
But it's like, no, you have to, you got to get in your bag with Justin Fields.
33:59
Okay.
34:00
Everyone says, oh, he's athletic.
34:01
He's able to move.
34:02
He's able to do this.
34:03
He got a big arm on different types of things.
34:04
You have to use what you have.
34:07
Now granted, does, you know, is he in a situation where he doesn't have a whole lot of talent?
34:13
You know what the receivers and whatnot?
34:14
Yes, it is true.
34:15
But I mean, it hopefully, hopefully Omar, you know, is able to get Devonte Adams.
34:21
Hopefully, I don't know.
34:23
But you know, that, that's just what it is.
34:26
Because even when you look at his personal rankings out of all the quarterbacks, he's
34:29
ranked 19th.
34:31
Okay.
34:32
So far, he is, he is 92 for 136, 961 passing yards, five touchdowns, one pick, 7.1 yards
34:39
per 10 and a 67.6 completion percentage.
34:43
That's okay.
34:45
That's okay.
34:46
It can be better.
34:47
Of course, there's always room for improvement, but that's, that's okay.
34:51
That shows you that someone is trying to get better.
34:54
He's playing mistake free football.
34:56
He's only thrown one pick.
34:58
Only thrown one pick.
34:59
Now, granted, he has, he sort of have had a little bit of a fumbling problem.
35:03
Yes, I do, I do get that and accept that, but he's trying.
35:09
He's trying.
35:10
This is the best version that we have seen with him.
35:12
You have to continue to go with what you have.
35:16
You just do.
35:17
As far as the Cowboys, the Cowboys put on a really good job.
35:20
Dak Prescott showed his value.
35:23
He did.
35:24
Now there, there was a point where, you know, things, things were starting to look a little
35:27
stagnant, but that did his thing.
35:30
And you know, he relied on not only CD land, but he relied on other players and you know,
35:36
they won.
35:37
They won Jalen Tolbert balling out Rico.
35:41
Rico was doing his thing.
35:43
If you would have told me the team who is fourth and fourth in allowing the most rushing
35:48
yards do what they did to this Steelers run game, I would have called you a liar.
35:53
Even the, even the defense, the, every, the, the Cowboys came in there with a chip on their
35:59
shoulder and a mindset of, okay, yes, we are the underdogs, but we're going to show you
36:04
guys why you never should have doubted us.
36:07
And they won.
36:08
They, they walked away with the victory and now the Steelers are trying to play, you know,
36:13
pick yourselves up and trying to figure out what you're going to do.
36:16
So, well, it is what it is.
36:19
Now onto a really good game that definitely needs to be talked about.
36:23
Okay.
36:24
The Ravens and the Bengals.
36:26
That was a good game.
36:27
Okay.
36:28
That was a really good game.
36:29
That was a back and forth game, really good AFC North, you know, the divisional game,
36:35
nothing really bad to complain about it.
36:37
Joe Burrow was doing his thing.
36:39
Lamar was doing his thing.
36:41
And it really just came down to who, who's going to make the play?
36:45
Who's going to make the game changing play?
36:47
And the Ravens did it.
36:48
The Ravens won.
36:51
And you know, the Bengals are still trying to, you know, pick themselves up and trying
36:55
to recover and just figure out what, what they want to do moving forward.
36:59
So let's just get into these stats.
37:00
Okay.
37:01
So Lamar Jackson, 26, 26 and 42, 348 passing yards, four touchdowns, 8.3 yards per attempt.
37:09
King Henry Henry Henry Henry.
37:13
Okay.
37:14
15 attempts for 92 yards.
37:17
One touchdown, 6.1 rushing yards per carry.
37:20
62 rushing yards after contact.
37:23
This man is a beast.
37:25
Zay flowers, 12 targets for seven receptions.
37:28
111 receiving yards, 15.9 receiving yards per reception.
37:33
Okay.
37:34
Joe Burrow 30 for 39, 392 passing yards, five touchdowns, one pick, 10.1 yards per, per
37:42
attempt.
37:43
76.9 completion percentage.
37:45
Right.
37:46
76.9.
37:47
That's almost like 80% completion percentage.
37:50
Good God of money.
37:52
Chase Brown 12 attempts for 46 rushing yards, 3.8 rushing yards per carry.
37:57
Jamar Chase 12 targets for 10 receptions, 193 receiving yards, two touchdowns and 19.3
38:03
receiving yards per reception.
38:05
Now when we look at this, this was a shootout.
38:08
This was a flat out shootout.
38:10
That's just what it is.
38:11
This was a shootout of a game.
38:12
This was a game where you have two of the best quarterbacks in the league balling out.
38:21
That's just what it is.
38:22
When Lamar would do his thing, Joe Burrow would do it.
38:25
When Joe Burrow would do his thing, Lamar would do his thing.
38:27
It was just a back and forth.
38:29
It was just a back and forth.
38:32
It was a really good game.
38:34
Now, originally I thought the Ravens had lost it because they had fumbled it and whatnot,
38:38
but then I was like, oh man, they did it.
38:40
They got the ball back and then they kicked the field goal.
38:43
I was like, whoa, this was a great game.
38:46
A great game.
38:48
All in all, the Ravens are starting to pick up some momentum, which is great, but at the
38:54
same time, if you're a Bengals fan, you're still struggling.
38:59
You're still struggling and it's not really that good.
39:02
Now, granted, Joe Burrow has been doing their thing, but I think the thing that's messing
39:08
them up the most is that defense.
39:11
The defense is really not that good.
39:14
When we really look at things and we really dissect things, the interior defensive line
39:19
is not good.
39:20
The pass rush is okay.
39:23
It's sustainable.
39:24
The secondary isn't that good, especially within losing Dax Hill for the rest of the
39:29
season.
39:30
The linebackers, it's a little bit cringy.
39:43
It's not the best.
39:45
It's just not.
39:49
Do I think the Bengals are out of it?
39:51
No.
39:52
This is the Bengals.
39:53
All they need is to just get on the street.
39:56
If they win two or three games, they're literally back in the driver's seat.
39:59
That's just who the Bengals are.
40:01
The Bengals are that type of team that's going to be a nuisance once things start to keep
40:07
on going.
40:08
Now, when we look at Derek Henry, though, Derek Henry has been doing his thing.
40:12
I can make a strong case that this has probably been the most productive Derek Henry that
40:16
we have seen this early into the season because usually Derek Henry really doesn't start
40:23
being obese until the first real cold snap.
40:28
For him to do it this early and he's balling.
40:33
I'm talking about when he gets the ball, it's a first down and more.
40:39
Basically that's just what it is.
40:42
For a moment, he was unstoppable.
40:45
He was.
40:46
Now, granted, the Bengals, their run game was also starting to get out of hand as well,
40:52
but Jermaine Chase was doing his thing.
40:54
Everybody else was doing their thing.
40:57
The only thing that did have me a little bit concerned was John Harbaugh's play call.
41:00
Well, not play calling, but his decision making.
41:04
The reason why I say that is because there was a play where Mike Assecchi, basically
41:08
somewhat made of a toe tap, but once you looked at the replay, he really wasn't in.
41:15
That should have been a play where you should have challenged it and he didn't do it.
41:20
These are the small things that if you don't address them now, when you get to the playoffs,
41:26
when you get to the AFC championship, they are going to matter the most.
41:30
If you don't do it now, you're really going to put yourself in a bad situation because
41:35
that could be the difference between three points or seven points or the game being
41:41
over.
41:43
That's just what it is.
41:44
So, hats off to the Ravens of doing their thing and Bengals, you guys still suck.
41:52
Sorry.
41:53
I want to attem that everybody has been talking about, everybody has been raving about, everybody
41:59
wants to see more of the commanders.
42:01
Yes, that's right.
42:03
Commanders fans, you finally have some happiness in your life.
42:06
You finally have some sunshine in your life.
42:11
Because wow, you guys were struggling for a long time, but looks like Jaden Daniels is
42:16
the hope, the hope that you guys need.
42:20
And you know, once again, he balls out.
42:24
That does is what it is.
42:25
He balled out once again.
42:27
So Jaden Daniels was 14 for 25, 238 passing yards, one touchdown, one pig, 9.5 yards per
42:34
attempt and a 56 completion percentage.
42:36
Austin Eckler, six attempts for 67 yards, 11.2 rushing yards per carry, two rushes of
42:42
10 yards or more.
42:45
Terry McClure, eight targets for four receptions, 112 yards.
42:49
28 receiving yards per reception and 29 yards after the catch.
42:54
Okay.
42:55
Sean Watson, 15 for 28, 125 yards, one touchdown, 4.5 yards per attempt, a 53.6 completion percentage.
43:04
Okay.
43:05
Jerome Ford, nine attempts for 47 yards, 5.2 rushing yards per carry and two rushes of
43:11
10 yards or more.
43:12
Okay, Amari Cooper, 10 targets for four receptions, 60 receiving yards and 15 receiving yards
43:20
per reception.
43:21
Now, when we look at this, you know, this, this commander's offense is balling out, right?
43:27
This commander's offense is just, they are, it's a fireworks show.
43:34
That's just what it is.
43:35
Every time Jaden Daniels gets the ball in his hands, he's about to make a dynamic play.
43:40
He's about to do something phenomenal.
43:42
He's about to be on, you know, ESPN top, top 10 plays that that's just what it is.
43:48
All in all, it looks like, you know, the hiring of Cliff, Cliff Kingsbury was a great move.
43:53
The move to get Jaden Daniels, that was a great move as well.
43:57
You know, and this team has a lot of potential.
44:00
It does.
44:01
This offense has a lot of potential.
44:03
I think, you know, if they get another receiver, if they get maybe a more productive tight end,
44:09
who, problems, problems, and then that defense, the defense isn't, you know, dynamic, but
44:18
it's a defense that gets the job done, right?
44:21
Bobby Wagner is doing is still, you know, being the tackling machine that he is in that
44:26
defense is just continuing to be productive as a whole.
44:29
And you know, kudos to Dan Quinn and everybody else on the defensive side that's been doing
44:36
their thing.
44:37
You know, this commander's team can definitely be, you know, can definitely win the division
44:43
if they continue to move forward.
44:46
And that's not even counting if they make any moves, you know, during, before the trade
44:50
deadline.
44:51
So I mean, all in all, they're red hot.
44:55
The rest of their schedule is, you know, it's, it's competitive, but you know, it's not something
45:00
where it's like, oh man, they're not going to win that game.
45:02
Like the Ravens and commanders game, that's going to be a great game.
45:07
That's going to be a great game.
45:09
I promise you, it's going to be another shootout.
45:12
It's going to be fireworks.
45:13
It's going to be dynamic.
45:15
Okay.
45:16
Now for the Browns, if I'm the Browns, I'm probably tanking.
45:21
I'm probably tanking and I'm probably, you know, thinking about the future at this point
45:28
because the John Watson is not the same to Sean Watson that they traded for.
45:33
He's not, he has regressed tremendously.
45:36
It looks like, you know, his teammates do not believe in him.
45:41
And you know, it's costing them, it's costing them wins.
45:45
It is.
45:46
And, you know, I understand that, you know, they, they traded for him despite the, the
45:51
controversy and the stuff that he was going through because of the potential and, and
45:55
what he did with the Texans.
45:57
But he hasn't even done anything close to what he did when he was with the Texans.
46:01
He just hasn't.
46:02
And mind you, he probably has more in, in the, in the Brown situation.
46:09
He did with the Texans.
46:11
Like with the Browns, he has a Mark Cooper, Jerry Judy, David and Joe Nick Chubb in company.
46:17
Right.
46:18
Like he, you would think that he will be bowling out and he will be doing something, but he
46:22
hasn't.
46:23
And it's bad.
46:24
And, you know, I just, this, this was a whore.
46:29
This was lit.
46:30
This will go down in history as the worst trade of all time.
46:36
And you know, it's going to continue to kick them in the ass.
46:39
And it's going to, it's going to continue to, you know, be a situation that, you know,
46:44
is going to hold them back from potentially making, you know, a deep playoff run or, you
46:49
know, making it to the Super Bowl because for the past few years, they've had some really
46:53
good rosters that could take them to where they need to go.
46:56
But guess what?
46:57
The two things that are always getting the way either injuries or themselves every single
47:01
time, every single time.
47:04
Now moving on to the final thing we have to talk about.
47:07
Yes.
47:08
So yes, though, there will probably be another episode this week.
47:11
It probably because there's a whole lot to be at to talk about.
47:13
We still have to talk about, you know, trade, trade predictions and all those different
47:17
types of things.
47:18
So let's, let's just keep that in mind.
47:21
Now we have to talk about the 49ers.
47:23
Yeah.
47:24
Yeah.
47:25
We have to talk about 49ers.
47:26
We have to talk about the 49ers simply because, you know, they, they are in their, their out
47:31
of, uh, their out of crossroads.
47:33
They are definitely out of crossroads because, you know, with, with CMC not playing for the
47:39
last few weeks, you know, it's things, things are starting to look a little bit stagnant
47:45
for them as well.
47:46
Now granted, you know, they'll still, they'll still be, you know, one of the best offenses
47:50
and one of the best defenses in the league and whatnot, but you know, that, that pop,
47:55
that zap, that just something different with them, right?
48:00
Something was always different when CMC was on that field.
48:03
It just took that offense and everything to a whole nother level.
48:07
But since he hasn't been able to play, they really haven't been able to do a whole lot.
48:12
And you know, it's, this is a very, this is a very much needed, you know, season where
48:19
they have to go and they have to win it all.
48:21
Because if you don't, there's not, it's not promised that you guys will be able to go
48:26
back next year.
48:27
And they've been trying to put things off for years and years and years and, you know,
48:32
made some moves and did this and did that.
48:34
And it hasn't, you know, it hasn't ended with them winning a championship.
48:40
They've gotten close a few times, but it just have not been able to win.
48:45
Now let's just talk about the game.
48:46
Yeah.
48:47
Let's talk about the game.
48:48
It's a 19 for 30, 195 passing yards, one touchdown, one pick, 6.5 yards per attempt, a 63.3 completion
48:57
percentage, right?
48:58
James Conner, 19 attempts for 86 yards, 4.5 rushing yards per carry, three rushes of 10
49:04
plus yards or more.
49:06
Michael Wilson, six targets for five receptions, 78 receiving yards, 15.6 receiving yards per
49:13
reception, right?
49:14
Brock Purdy, 19 for 35, 244 passing yards, one touchdown, two picks, seven, seven yards
49:22
per, per attempt, fit a 54.3 completion percentage.
49:27
Jordan Mason, 14 attempts for 89 yards, 6.4 rushing yards per carry, three rushes of 10
49:34
yards or more.
49:35
Brandon Iewik, 12 targets for eight receptions, 147 receiving yards, 18.4 receiving yards
49:41
per reception.
49:42
Now, I get it, most divisional games, they are a little bit competitive and a lot of
49:48
times they're going to come down to who has the ball lasered or who's going to make the
49:54
dynamic play.
49:55
I get that.
49:56
Most divisional games, they're close, right?
49:58
They can go either way.
50:00
Even if there's a team that isn't really that good on paper, it's still divisional game.
50:06
It can still go either way.
50:08
We've seen it multiple times.
50:09
But I think this 49ers offense is really missing CMC.
50:16
I really do because I wouldn't say that they're struggling, but the diversity that Christopher
50:25
Caffrey has in his game, not only being a running bat, but can double as a slot receiver
50:31
and a receiving bat, that definitely means a lot.
50:34
It really does.
50:37
With him not being on the field, it makes it harder for them to be able to get these
50:43
wins.
50:44
Because according to stat news, 49ers all time record without CMC, 42 and 46.
50:51
42 and 46, that is their record without CMC.
50:55
Now their record with CMC is 22 and five.
51:00
And granted, we really still don't know what's going on with Christopher Caffrey.
51:04
Like anytime you have to go to Germany, you have to go international to figure out what's
51:10
going on with you and to get treatment and whatnot.
51:13
That means that it's something serious, something very serious.
51:17
So who, who was to say, I don't think really nobody really knows when Christopher Caffrey
51:24
is really going to be ready.
51:25
I really don't.
51:27
I don't care what Kyle Shanahan says.
51:28
I don't care what John Lynch says.
51:30
I would not be surprised if Christopher Caffrey is not ready until the second half of the season
51:35
or better yet towards the end of the season.
51:38
I would not be surprised.
51:39
I think they're, they're hoping, they're wishing and they're praying that, you know,
51:43
that that's the case.
51:44
But who knows at this point?
51:46
Honestly, like even, even when we look at it, right, they're passing offense is ranked
51:52
fourth.
51:53
They're rushing offense is ranked seventh, which is great.
51:55
But when it comes to the defense, their passing defense is ranked 12th and their rushing defense
52:01
is, is ranked ninth.
52:03
Now, granted, they've had their own, you know, things, their own problems with injuries,
52:07
you know, they lost grave digger for the season.
52:09
And, you know, that deep, there's other defensive linemen that are going to be out for a while
52:13
as well.
52:14
So, you know, expect for them to be a little bit active, you know, around the trade deadline,
52:21
just to, you know, patch some things up and address some pressing needs that they have
52:24
on both sides of the ball.
52:26
Because again, this is, this is, this is the year, right?
52:30
This is the end all be all.
52:32
This is the year.
52:33
If they do not win a Super Bowl this year, everything that they have done within the past
52:38
four or five years have been, have been a waste from trading for Trent Williams to paying
52:44
Brandon I you look, even though they probably should have just let him go because of, you
52:48
know, I'm not even going to talk about that.
52:51
It's a, you know, letting people like the force Buckner go and Eric Armstead go and,
52:56
you know, this person and that person, like all of that, you know, is going to be a bust
53:00
at this point, you know.
53:03
And so hopefully they can do something.
53:05
Hopefully they can do something.
53:06
Now I want to end this here 53 minutes.
53:09
Godly, I would have thought I would have been around 30 minutes, but I guess not.
53:14
Guess, you know, when you have a whole lot to talk about, that's what happens, right?
53:18
So I'm going to end this here.
