  Speaker 1: Hey guys, welcome to The Daily Play with Joy Taylor.

  Speaker 2: at The Daily Play Joy Taylor. Football is back in
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: entirety now. Not just called football, but the NFL is
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: back with a Super Bowl rematch. And I gotta say,
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: it kind of reminded me of the Super Bowl. It
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: was a little bit of a snoozer. However, there were
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: some big learns and some big repercussions from Game 1
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: of the NFL season.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: It did not go well.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: According to plan for the Seattle Seahawks, even though they
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: did get the win to defend their Super Bowl title
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: against the New England Patriots, starting off with quarterback Sam Darnold,
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: who sustained a leg injury in the opening drive that
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: knocked him out for the game.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: Absolutely brutal.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: And as a result, this became a defensive battle in
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: the image of two defensive-minded head coaches on opposite sidelines.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: The Patriots scored the first touchdown of the season, more
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: than 20 minutes into the game and led 10-3 to
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: start the fourth quarter. And Seattle made a crucial interception.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: And then Jackson Smith and Digbo broke their short pass
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: in a 45-yard touchdown. So with 11 and a half
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: minutes to play, this game started over, tied 10-10.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: And then the Seahawks' 12th man got activated.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: One of the newest New England Patriots, Romeo Dobbs, had
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: a crucial drop in I mean, just obviously was wanting
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: to turn too quickly and did not actually complete the catch.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: And then Drake May threw a pick on the next play.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: And that was kind of that. Great field position. Backup
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: quarterback Drew Locke for the Seattle Seahawks. drove Seattle into
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: the end zone, red zone, I'm sorry, and then kicked
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: the field goal to take their first lead in the
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: game with less than six minutes to play in the game.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: Patriots drove down the field and had a chance to
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: win or tie the game with 30 seconds.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Left to play.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: But Drake May threw an ill-advised pass to cornerback Josh Jobe.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: He intercepted it in the end zone. So Drake May
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: did not have a multiple interception game besides the Super
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: Bowl last year and started the season well. throwing three interceptions.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: He will be a big topic of conversation today. And
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: obviously Sam Darnold going out, hopefully that is not a
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: severe injury and isn't season ending, but absolutely brutal.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Also, A.J.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: Brown went out with a lower leg injury as well.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: which is also devastating. So both sides of the ball
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: lost key players.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: A.J.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: Brown is, I mean, everyone's holding their breath to find
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: out what's going on with that. And obviously you don't
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: want to start the season without your quarterback. So the
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: Seahawks were able to hold on, but that's what you
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: want from your backup quarterback is for everyone else to
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: step up.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: The defense played amazing.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: Looks like they didn't miss a beat from last year.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: But in the end, this was a disastrous start for
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: both of these teams.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: When you lose A.J.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: Brown, he's out for the rest of the game. You
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: lose Sam Darnold, he's out for the rest of the game.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: Drake May goes on to throw three interceptions. Granted, it's
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: against the best defense in the league, but I mean,
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: just can't be out there turning the ball over three times.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: It's insane how good the defense is. And that team
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: is without their starting quarterback. So just a disaster for
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: the New England Patriots overall. So much more than a loss.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: coming out of this game and now seattle has a
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: bunch of questions because we have to wait and see
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: how much time if any that sam darnold is going
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: to miss so while it was kind of a slow
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: drag of a game a lot a lot came out
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: of it a lot of very serious consequences for both
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: of these teams that are expected to be competing at
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: a high level this year and it really changes that
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: quickly So, moving on to a team that is expected
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: to be in the Super Bowl.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: The LA Rams.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: Aaron Donald's rise from retirement won't happen in week one.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: The superstar, Stephen Tackle, did not travel to Melbourne with
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: the Rams for their Australian matchup against the Niners. The
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: Rams chose to wait until two days before the game
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: to fly out, which makes you wonder if they had
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: left when the Niners left, if that would have changed
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: Aaron Donald's decision, but... Speaking of the Niners, they are
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: going to be without their starting defensive tackle, Alfred Collins.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: He suffered a torn patellar tendon in practice in Australia. Thankfully,
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: the Niners traded for Osu Idigizua this offseason, but San
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: Francisco will enter the season without CJ West and rookie
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: Grayson Halton as the, well, enter with them as the
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: only options on the 53-man roster who can start next
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: to him. Not surprising when we're talking about the 49ers.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: I'm There's even some theories about why the Niners are
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: constantly injured. But they just have a crazy amount of injuries.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: And the season hasn't even started for them. And they're
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: already going with it. Head coach Kyle Shanahan has a
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: couple of practice squad guys in Australia with the team
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: and said any D-line is a possibility unless you guys
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: can name some guys we can fly here real quick.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: And obviously he's being cheeky there. But hey, look. Not
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: a great situation for the Niners.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: The Rams traded for Miles Garrett and Trent McDefeated both
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: to the defense, and Donald's return was in question until recently.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: So I'm not so concerned about Aaron Donald not being there.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: Not really surprised either. He wasn't in training camp. This
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: is a huge flight and a big trip. I imagine
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: he will be training.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: in L.A. and getting ready for the season stateside. The
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Niners dropping like flies, though.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: They already lost a defensive end, Sam Opie Ununu, to
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: a broken foot that will require surgery. Nick Bosa and
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: George Kittle are trying to come back from injury for
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: this game, plus a handful of.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: Other players that are working through it as well.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: So, look, I've been on this since before the season
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: started that.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: This is not going to be the Niners year. And,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: you know, I don't know.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: That this is a sign necessarily that this isn't going
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: to be their year. But, man, they just constantly have
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: these injuries. It's like it's crazy. The most injured team.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: In the NFL.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: Shannon's hand also said, but we're a little confused with
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: when I look at the pocket, it says the time
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: that I try to see my family Simon says the time.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: But it says yesterday. So I don't even know how
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: that's possible. So I feel like I'm in the future.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: You are in the future. So I called today Tuesday. No, wait, sorry.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: I called today Wednesday, which is the first day we
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: put in a game plan. But I think it's Monday. However, though,
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: it's Sunday in the present. Listen, being in Australia, you're
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: in the future. It's a completely different space and time.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: It's a really far flight. I'm really curious to see
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: how this game goes and whose strategy the Rams or
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: the Niners ends up working out in their favor because
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: it's a really far flight and it's a lot on
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: your body. And as someone who has been on three
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: flights already this week, I can't imagine it's a good
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: situation for any of the players, but at least the Niners,
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: who are the more injured team overall, have already been
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: there for a few days.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: So finally, the U.S. Open.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: My God, you missed really any of these matches lately.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: You have missed out on some incredible tennis. It is
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: heating up as the semifinals approach in New York. Plenty
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: of Americans still alive in the Grand Slam on the
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: women's side. Coco Gauff pulled off a comeback. In the quarterfinals,
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: she lost the first set and won the second on
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: a tiebreaker before finishing off the match 6-2 in the
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: final set. Goff said she was channeling fellow American Francis Tiafoe,
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: who pulled off a historic comeback the previous day.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: An unbelievable watch. Shout out to Big.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: Foe, who dropped the first two sets to unranked American
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: Alex Michelson before swimming back to win the final three
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: sets to avoid a surprising quarterfinal elimination in his favorite tournament.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: He said, I'm pumped about it. I'm super excited about it,
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: but I don't feel like it's, of course, this is
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: a crazy match. Of course, I'm pumped up, but I
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: just want to continue. I want to keep going. I
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: have high hopes for myself. So yeah, it's great that
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: the tournament is still going. There's a lot more tennis
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: to be played, a lot more sets to be played,
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: a lot more physical things to be done. We're going
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: to enjoy this, but we got to keep going. So
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: great to see all the Americans in the semifinals period,
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: especially fan favorites like Coco and Big Foe. Also, shout
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: out to Ben Shelton, who had an amazing match and
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: a huge win over Carlos Alperaz, the number.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: Three ranked tennis player in the world.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: Match finished Alperaz's title reign in the latest finishing match
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: in U.S.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: Open history.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: Ended at 333. 3 a.m. local time, which is crazy.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: Shelton's girlfriend, Trinity Rodman, staying to the end of practice
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: before driving straight to D.C. for practice with the NWSL's
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: Washington Sphere Wednesday morning. Shout out to Trinity, one of
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: my favorite players in the league. But the match was amazing.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: Lots of viral moments coming out of it. It's just
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: been incredible to see.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: Just the energy that they're playing with. Great. And I
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: will be there. for Big Flo and Ben. I cannot wait.
