You want to give 57 different ingredients and dominance Mitch Trubisky.
Today for the Polskis.
I want to take Matt Candidon and snap his little neck.
For Men or Ohio, everybody in the Ohio River Valley.
Hell yeah, brother.
Hell yeah, brother.
Today, Mike Tomlin, brother, you got to walk down to Matt Canada.
office and you have to delete him from the building.
When I get through with Matt Canada, he won't be allowed back in America.
Send him on one of the three rivers north.
Welcome to the Green Light podcast.
NFL week four, it's in the books.
You're coming here because you want to hear a little recap.
Chris and Kyle and Dr. Fax.
Go through all the games, the biggest storylines.
the biggest plays and we hit our mentions.
We talk a little bit at Taylor Swift.
Probably not as much as you want, but a little bit.
Bill's Dolphins, what a doozy.
The bills were able to apply the brakes to that dolphin offense a little bit.
The Broncos, the biggest game of the week, they got the win.
Are we happy?
Are we not?
A lot of storylines in the AFC North with some losses this week and the Ravens
jumping up to the pole position in that division.
And the AFC South performing very well.
Saw the Texans bow the doors off the Steelers.
The Eagles escaped the commanders.
Ron Rivera gave another.
great press conference quote showing off his head coaching acumen we preview all those games and more
we run through it all enjoy this show we will be back on wednesday we'll catch you then
a tan man a t a fucking tan we swear oh not supposed to do it in the first at least in the first
30 seconds oh gosh gee willickers uh my youtube channel's gonna get uh blacklisted now you know
you get taken down yeah because you're not supposed to come
us in the first couple minutes. That was Billy Bob, not me.
Guys, I had a lot of fun. I had a lot of fun yesterday watching football. It didn't hurt that,
you know, my big bets hit, but I thought, I thought, like I was the bills, I can't
would talk about the bills, the Eagles pulling out that tough game. I mean,
Eagles. Wouldn't be so fun to talk about had Riverboat Ron gone for two because I think he
might have got it. They were tired. They were tired. We get that way.
Oh, I mean.
Give them a vet day.
Give these guys a vet day.
They were tired.
The Eagles on the ropes.
So anyways, your name's river boat, Ron.
Oh, man.
That's not wheeling and dealing.
It's really not.
So anyways.
Like bumper car, Brad.
And then Sunday night was great.
We'll talk about that in a second.
Okay, Kyle.
Why don't we start with America's teams?
I love it when you start with America's team.
I like America's teams.
I love America's teams.
I hate the word like.
I'm into love.
Okay, good.
And for my America's teams,
you know who I really love?
Who do you love?
The Buffalo Bills.
I love Josh Allen.
I love tall white guys.
Yeah.
Throw the ball really far.
All drinks of water.
It's a fast guy.
And you know what?
I also love Aaron Cromer.
You like Brock Osweiler?
I love Aaron Cromer.
I'm out on Brock Osweiler.
I'm in on Brock Verene
and I'm in on Brock Purdy.
But as for the bills,
Aaron Cromer,
the running game,
the mentality,
the cream of the crop
in the AFC.
We saw it,
yesterday. We saw that secondary, albeit, you know, we had some guys go down, didn't we?
We did. We did. We did. But number one, America's team, I think the team playing best in the
NFL right now, the Buffalo Bills. Number two, America's team. And we all saw it, the Jets.
I feel like everybody and their sister and their mother and their cousin and their Taylor Swift
friend, they were all rooting for the Jets. They wanted to see Zach Wilson beat Mahomes.
And last night, we saw it. I mean, Aaron Rogers back, all the celebs in the building. People
think it's for Kelsey, but Zach Wilson is like, no, no, no.
I got something for you guys.
Yeah, I'm going to show you guys that.
And we're going to talk more about that.
Yeah, maybe that's my number.
That's my number two America's team, the Jets in a loss.
Number three, the Jaguars.
You want to talk about international representation, Nate?
We send the Jaguars to London like every year multiple times.
And you know what?
They showed out and they got to show some of those guys with the red coats.
How we play football over here.
If we want to do diplomatic stuff, we should start sending them.
the Jaguarians for a game or two.
Yes.
Like put the new...
Put Trevor Lawrence in the best Tom for.
We'll get Trevor Lawrence three times this fall.
Yeah.
And they're there again next week.
Yeah.
This week. It's Monday.
Happy Monday morning.
So the Jags, number three, America's team,
they get to be on foreign soil two weeks in a row.
Speaking of foreign soil, the Ryder Cup.
Now, it wasn't pretty.
It wasn't pretty.
I'm not happy with the captain.
I'm not happy with the leadership,
some of the pairings.
I'm not happy with the roster initially.
I think a lot of those decisions were made out of spite.
Dustin Johnson's at home on a fishing boat.
What's up with that?
That guy's a beast.
He Joe Thomas the Rider Cup?
Yes, he Joe Thomas the Rider Cup.
Well, he just never got invited.
They never got invited.
All this live stuff.
Live in PGA.
There's a lot of beef.
So we obviously got beat by the Europeans.
But my number four America's team is Max Homa.
You want to talk about a guy who just embodies what it is to be like a
bleeding heart, red, white, and blue American.
Yeah.
That guy over there, in those conditions,
played his heart out,
and it gave people a reason to watch.
Max Homa.
Number five.
Number five.
Guys in the NFL named Josh Allen.
Oh, yeah, they had a really good day.
Big day.
Stick around for the recap.
You'll see why they made my number five.
That's really good, Kyle.
There you go.
All right, number one, Penn State.
Fake knee up 21.
to cover.
College football.
Like,
these coaches are brazen in knowing the fucking spread, dude.
McVeigh's been backdoor covering for weeks now.
You know,
like he's like,
fuck Caleb Williams.
He's got buddies.
I got a cover.
And then James Franklin with the fake knee,
I mean,
it had to be something personal with Northwestern.
I just can't.
I've never seen anything like that.
And then,
you know,
London fans,
I think London fans.
You know I love about London fans?
It's like a Halloween assignment where they got to look American.
But like they pan to the crowd.
I'm like, you're British.
It's like coming to America watching the basketball game.
Yeah, yeah.
I love basketball.
I can't explain what makes an English person look English.
But they all look so English.
And they've all got their Jags, uniforms, and everything on.
And they're trying to dress like the super fans in the United States.
I love it.
I love it.
I love seeing fans in London.
Fire alarm guys.
did you see Representative Jamal Bowman.
I don't know who that is.
But he pulled the fire alarm.
He's on tape.
They were supposed to vote on like a budget.
Like the houses they're voting on a budget.
And of course for people,
this isn't a political endorsement.
But what I am saying is that last week,
my son pulled the fire alarm.
He heard that.
You probably didn't hear that because it was in the pub.
This is amazing.
I buried it thinking, you know, like the less people
and no, well, I don't want to say who.
Oh, my bad.
But one of the kids.
We're not doxing criminals.
One of my kids.
I'm not, yeah, he's a misdemeanit now.
But one of these, one of my kids, I don't want to do it.
Deion Sanders.
No, they don't spray ink.
It's like, that's more of a like stealing clothes thing, I feel like.
No, like public schools, you get inked if you pull the fire alarm?
Like, something comes out so they can check, like, if someone does it, like, as a joke, like, so they can see who does it.
Show me your hands.
Because they usually, they, I think they charge the parents.
Man, listen, when he got home at first, we heard he pulled the fire alarm.
I was like, oh, motherfucker.
I got to ground the kid, the whole thing.
And the teacher's like, listen, it's a self-imposed punishment.
He feels terrible.
And then I'm like, I got to build him up.
So when he gets home, we build him up, right?
And then before bed, he's got this Nike shirt on and says, just do it.
And he goes, hey, mom, mom, you know why I got this shirt on?
Because I just did it.
I just pulled it.
And I sat down on the bed and I said, hey, buddy.
the first time
I know you were curious
and we feel really bad for you
but the second time
you'll never go back to school again
and he's like
can I watch the iPad?
I'm like buddy
I don't think you understand
out of embarrassment
I'm not going to say anybody
I can't take this as Chris's son
you know
I would have used to do the same thing
all right so anyways
he was curious
all right
Zeros Nate you pointed this out
Zeros had a great day
whether it was Davinport
with a sack, Jonathan Cooper
with a sack, Roquan Smith,
Ridley getting back on track. There were a bunch of
zeros out there that were bawling yesterday. Take your pick.
And then, Kyle,
I know you're going to like this. Okay,
New England Waggs. I'll get there.
I'm just a wags kind of guy.
Taylor Swift, we got 17
cutaways last night. Okay, we got
Taylor Swift, Taylor Swift, Taylor Swift.
I'd like to put a moratorium
on people in sports media
using Taylor Swift songs
to make these fucking plays on words.
I'm over it.
Like, I'm all about the couple,
but can we just not fucking...
Dude, even at CBS Sports,
Jonathan Jones has like something every week.
And that's your boy.
And they're really good at it,
but I'm like, I just...
So we've had a good nine-day run.
Let's just stop.
Mike Tariko last night.
Oh, there's Taylor Swift and some people.
Mike, that's Blake Lively.
Okay?
And Ryan Reynolds.
Taylor Swift got all her most...
masculine friends Hugh Jackman
to lean on fucking Travis Kelsey
you know none of her short king friends
Travis got tossed that and then she's like Ryan Reynolds
I guess like you own a soccer team you can come
and then he's Deadpool oh
Melissa Stark on the sideline
400% increase in jersey sales
for Melissa we're in the red zone
yeah like there's going to be a 400% increase in me
turning off the volume on the game now I did love the orange
jacket love Melissa Stark
she's great a gal
stah wah-wah but I know they're telling her to say this stuff
But yeah, the bottom line is,
they are.
New England Wags,
because when,
when we're in New England,
we've had Culpo,
we've had Lima,
we've had Jaze.
We just fucking,
we just play football.
Just move on.
Where are the cutaways there?
Jessica Simpson and Dallas,
but we did get a little bit of that.
I'm just over it,
dude.
So America's teams,
New England Wags of old,
of yesteryear.
I mean,
that was a star-studied affair
before this became center of attention.
I'm over it.
I don't mean to pour Cole,
water on this whole thing what we got what do we miss what did we miss oh the baltimore oriel state took care of that
under redstocks toy box oh yeah yeah i don't know if you know this but i'm with cbs and that's a
competitor you're talking about well andy's toy box i heard someone's america it looks i heard i heard
they were doing that um and booger mcfarlane's on there and he talked about iowalaska
like erin rogers came up so you got a bunch of kids like what's iowasca yo honestly i thought i was
hearing things when I heard that and I just let it pass.
But there was a lot of, there was like a lot of, you're watching the kids.
You're watching.
I really was watching the toy.
I was really intrigued.
They had, they had a few glitches, but it's something that once they get it.
It's giving an honest review.
Yeah.
It was cool.
Bro, once they get the kinks worked out, that, that is pretty fire.
Like, you think you might, you might tune into that, that feed.
But here's the thing.
Like, I tuned in with my girl.
And the way they did it, they did it really informational.
and they were really teaching the game.
So I could see if you're sitting there with your son or daughter.
Give me an example of how they were teaching it.
That's a tough question.
Well, no.
They showed like with,
they showed with like the little figurines.
They did a breakdown of,
hey, what D. Lyman do, what linebackers do.
They just,
they just break it down.
And it's something where if you're sitting there,
Woody and Sarge on an EC.
The pig just email team.
They did.
They did teach us some end zone dances too.
That was pretty cool.
That's cool.
I think it was,
I think overall it was a dope girl,
the girl cowboy, cowgirl?
No, they all were just regular figures.
I saw that on Twitter.
I didn't know if it was great hair.
The slinky dog was the down marker,
so that was kind of cool.
That was fine.
That's fucking awesome.
He's like an accordion.
That's great.
And then the crane was like pick,
it was kind of like the referee.
It was picking up and dropping the balls.
The cloud from Mario Kart.
Yeah.
Remember he used to put.
car back on the track. That's great.
I'm glad we got some toy story in this morning.
Thank you, Nate.
Thank you, Nate.
Let's start with Sunday night football, Kyle.
Your thoughts.
My thoughts on Sunday night football are, as such.
Trey Smith, explodes.
Oh, my God.
All he wanted to do was hurt somebody.
You want to talk about starting the game?
I mean, I was texting with Creed the other night because, you know, they were in New York.
I'm in New York on Saturday, and I said, do you guys need any dip?
Do you need anything?
And they're like, we're all set.
We got pizza.
I know it's a picture of Tune and all the guys at the hotel.
We obviously saw it widely publicized.
Everybody else wasn't at the hotel.
Yeah, exactly.
But the O line are dialed in.
Andy Heck had those guys ready.
And with all distractions that they're dealing with right now in the public eye,
to show up and to make a statement like that.
And the run game early and to get Pacheco on an explosive early,
I thought really set the tone.
Obviously, Mahomes got outplayed by Zach Wilson.
The defense showed up for the Jets when it needed to.
every throw that Mahomes was making seemingly
there was somebody in his face
or there was two guys around his target
now at the end of the game
you see Mahom start to figure out he said hey there's nobody here
fuck this shit I'm running he does that little thing
with his neck he really does do that little thing
he runs like a weeble wobble you don't know which way
he's going like on the third step to generate
more power he whips his neck around
but for the jets
ostrich I really really liked
what I saw from Zach Wilson and I know
how much confidence plays into performance
and that kid has
been beaten up every day by everybody on every station. And for him to go out there, play the way he
did with the drops, with the penalties, with all the distractions around him, it speaks to me
volumes about Zach Wilson's character and also to listen to him speak after the game.
Yeah. Take accountability. Yeah, like last year, we got mad at him because he threw some guys
under the bus. But it's not a win. Yeah, no, it's not a win. The boogeyman still is where
still wears number 15, and he wears red.
And Kelsey didn't score two, and Mahomes didn't have 300 yards.
I mean, in fact, this was,
Zach Wilson is the only opposing quarterback to have more completions,
more passing yards, more touchdown passes,
and fewer interceptions than Patrick Mahomes in a start.
Out of 127 starts, college or pro, including postseason.
Yeah, he's sword in the stone.
He did somebody nobody else has never done, any loss.
Yeah, no, I know.
And that just speaks to how resilient and good the chiefs are
with everything that they've gone through this year.
personnel wise this game started to feel like that indie game last year at some point i was like
they're going to lose this game uh ugly 2017 and you're going to look back and be like how did that
happen but obviously the defense is very good i want to tip my cap to zach as well i don't know if
i'd have what it takes to be zach wilson no right now um i i i don't and like yeah i sit up here
and criticize him because sometimes he plays bad um but last night for the most part
he outplayed Patrick as you put it and you know like drives in the middle of this game of
61 41 71 75 they got the back shoulder stuff going they got the quick game going but the
script is going to script Kyle it ends with Zach Wilson making a Zach Wilson mistake and Garrett
Wilson having to make ridiculous plays yeah and so god he's good he's really good and I feel bad for
everybody there that they can't figure this thing out uh you know I thought I thought Zach came out and
under the bright lights against the best,
at least bought himself a little extra rope.
And took the pressure off solid
and I have to answer all these questions.
Because they'll still be asked,
but at least you could say,
hey, we went out there and if our defense gets a stop,
if there's no penalty,
which I actually,
I get the flag.
And I had,
how about that cover, by the way?
I had the Jets.
How about that cover?
Patrick Mahomes sprinting to the pile on.
Patrick saw what you were doing.
Sike, dude.
Yes.
And he put his hands up?
You were like,
America's teams, everybody that bet the Jets this week.
I mean, that was incredible.
I got a question for you.
What did the ground do to Isaiah Pacheco?
Boy, he runs angry.
Like, he just.
Do you remember the wild thornberries?
No.
There was a cartoon.
Donnie.
Donnie.
You remember the traveling wolfberries?
Donnie was the fair.
So it was a British family living in Australia or Africa.
Somewhere in the outback.
Great cartoon.
And Donnie was the feral kid that they picked up.
And he runs like Donnie.
He just runs fat.
It's like just stay out of Donnie's way.
Yeah.
And I love after the play, guys are good hit.
Pacheco's hitting him in the chest.
He's fired up the demeanor from that offensive line, the interior row line.
And this leads to my next point.
But the interior line is bullies.
When I watch the tackles in the run game, they're not willing participants on the edge.
When you get tackles on the edge, when it's me and a guy who's wearing number 27,
I want to make him not want to play football anymore.
You want to bury him.
You want to bury him.
Williams on the edge. There's a reason people
hold him in high regard. You know
what's a lot harder than blocking DBs,
blocking fucking D-Ns every place. So when you
get a chance to block somebody two-way classes
under you on the edge with the Checo
behind you, go get them.
Yeah, and Ju-Jewan- That's concerning.
Duane Taylor, I mean, Kyle, the tacklers are
going to be a concern all year. It just is what it is.
And Joanne Taylor, like,
you know, the opener, everybody's
watching the game. He goes out there and does what he
does. So he's got this
target on his back. And then you get another
primetime game, you get the face mask for the safety.
You get a hold.
Which was a bad call.
Which was probably by the letter of the law,
a bad call, but it doesn't matter.
I mean, we got the explanation at the time.
And so you want to say the refs,
blah, blah, blah, it's like, well, they got two points in the ball.
Well, he's gotten away with some and he ended up on the wrong end of the sentence.
I mean, yeah, well, don't grab that way.
I don't think I ever gave up a safety on a penalty.
I've seen it happen a couple times.
We did it against the Cardinals in 2010.
So I have a good memory.
But like,
that's a long time.
Yeah, CJIU.
I caused it.
Didn't get the sack.
Just typical.
But yeah, no, so we end up, so we end up, we end up, we end up with that call.
And then the one where Mahomes had this, like, vintage Mahomes masterful conversion late in the game that gets wiped out.
They get it anyways, two plays later.
The next play, wasn't it?
Yeah.
It was like explosive run, game over, holding.
Hold the phone here.
God, here come the jazz.
and then Mahomes goes back and runs it again,
same side of the field,
backbreaker.
The great thing about Mahomes is we don't have to sit here
and overanalyze two picks.
You know?
No.
Yeah, my bad, next one.
Fuck it.
You saw him say,
throw the fucking ball
after he underthrew the ball
to the right side.
He's going to layer the ball
over the linebacker and the DB,
found a soft spot,
had his guy underthrew it,
which is like,
we just don't see that from Pat.
He's just got to shake it all.
Like even Van Gogh missed some brush strokes.
You know what I mean?
Happy mistakes.
Yeah, exactly.
Happy accidents.
Van Gogh couldn't hear the call.
Yeah, he couldn't hear shit.
Okay.
Check with me.
Yeah.
All right.
So Miami Buffalo.
Oh, before we get to Miami Buffalo,
I would never get to Miami Buffalo without thanking Cash App.
Me too, go bills.
After that win, I got some extra cash to spread around.
Thanks to Cash App for sponsoring this podcast with multiple tools for saving,
spending and sending cash up is an all in one way to stay in control your money but what happens
when life takes an unexpected turn and you find yourself losing control what happens when two is
balling and the miami dolphins are running rough shot over the entire league the buffalo bills
happen just like cash app happens okay we have an internet update in my house it's still still out
like a couple weeks running starlink the reviews aren't great we're not doing a starlink ad
still can't run the film at home still can't stream music but i adjust and i make do
I'm efficient in the office, get my work done so I can get home and get an app in, which never happens, read.
But that is losing control.
It happens.
Bottom line is I can't control the internet, but what I can't control is my money.
A great way to stay in control of your life and to stay in control of your finances is Cash App.
So download Cash App in the App Store or Google Play to see why it's the number one finance app in the U.S. app store.
Okay.
If you want to get control of your money, bet the bills right now.
They've won three games by like 28 points.
You want my Cash App endorsement?
This is not a paid endorsement, but I will say.
We went to the best concert ever at a cash app sponsored event.
Don't say Morgan Wallin or like.
It was I was with you.
It was the Drake concert.
At the Super Bowl, we went and saw Drake at a private hangar.
And Cash App was like, we got it.
It was sick.
The baby's bodyguard is like our buddy now.
You know, like we just made a lot of them.
I met Noah Cindergarde.
He was big.
Sebatia.
Great guy.
We did a pod.
Had a pod with him.
seeing MGK. Yeah, we do have to, we saw MGK. So shout out to Cash App. Shout out to Cash App. I would
have never been standing outside that party smoking a joint. Megan Fox, in the parking lot.
Eating Taco Bell. I was sitting outside that party, minding my business with the security guards.
And all of a sudden I see MGK and Megan Fox walked by. And they're like 10, 15 yards apart.
And I'm like, that's not good. That's a bad sign. They was arguing. Yeah, that offense isn't on the
same page. He was like Jared Payton. He was getting the video for TMZ. I knew it.
He was getting the Taylor's Web video for TNC.
I know at first, yeah.
Well, hey, guys.
All right, all right, all right.
Here's the deal.
I'm going to go on this for a little bit
because I just, this was,
this was an incredible showing.
Buffalo, Miami.
Yeah, this is incredible showing from the bills.
I mean, like, number one, last time they played,
Dolphins, more physical.
Like, that's supposed to be the finesse team.
Dolphins went up there in the snow,
in the cold, in Buffalo, and out physicaled them.
Okay, the bills were more physical of this game.
Sean McDermen was taking a lot of shit.
but he didn't blink.
And I think he deserves a lot of credit.
His defense was humming.
As a team, they've improved.
They had the run game in,
the whole thing we've talked about that week after week.
The pressure of staying one score ahead in this game is enormous.
Okay, like, it's a game where if you punt,
you could be trailing.
You're playing madden.
You're playing Madden.
You know, so I just think it's interesting to think about the bills
staying ahead in the first half.
They stayed ahead thanks to Allen and Diggs.
I mean, the P.I., the play.
that Josh and Diggs connect in the red zone
where Diggs makes the adjust and bails out
that rare mistake they made on the illegal formation.
My big question with the Dolphins defense
is why not travel Xavier and Howard with Diggs?
You know, they had Kohu on him, right?
A lot of, and people are going to have rough days against Degg.
Against Stefan Diggs, yeah.
You know, people want to make Diggs sound crazy all the time.
Well, if you, this is,
the hot crazy scale in action.
Okay? This is the hottest day.
So true.
Thupon Diggs. This is why you keep people like,
oh, he argues with people on the silent.
He's fiery, whatever.
How about this, though?
Have you seen him when he gets off dolled up and goes for 200 yards on caterer code?
Wow, look how good he looks.
He looks great.
This is why we put up with the other stuff.
And I think he's great.
I'm just saying people say that.
This is why you love Stefan Diggs.
They with Josh Allen.
And Josh Allen in a big moment.
I mean, they probably laughed when they realized that Fangio was telling the truth about not traveling Xavier and Howard.
Like in the first quarter.
Fangio was like, the way our defense is right now, I can't do that.
And I'm sure Dolphins fans know why.
I don't know exactly why.
Maybe you can tell me.
But like, you know, I just would have had Howard on Diggs a little bit more.
Mm-hmm.
So he wanted that opportunity.
I know Vic.
He'll give him a chance.
That's interesting.
I mean, it's really interesting to me that they didn't make.
that adjustment maybe they do an act too but the stretch from 14 to 14 to 28 14 including the huge
touchdown digs just took over uh and the second half they just kept the pressure on them you know
like and josh could do the off schedule stuff the the stuff to cook the stuff to hearty
and then they're up 41 20 and they're cruising but i just thought sean mcdermott and the bills
the way i'm thinking i'm betting the bills i'm afraid of the dolphins offense early in the game it's
score, score, score, score.
Fourth and five at the 45, the Dolphins 45,
I'm like, you gotta go.
You know, you're up 21-14.
You don't want to get in a fucked up situation
with these guys.
Take the opportunity to chase the points.
They don't even think about it.
They just punt.
They trust their defense.
At the end of the half, they're not scrambling,
take timeouts to steal a possession.
And by the way, the dolphins are like,
fuck it, we'll run on third and seven.
We'll go to the half.
So it said a lot about the mentality in this game,
And Sean just saying, hey, I think we're good enough.
And they were.
They were good enough.
The defense played great.
They played nickel against 21, which is a big thing.
It's like, how can you stop that run game without loading the box and putting your guys in the back end?
Have faith that your little guys play like big guys.
Yeah.
And exactly right.
And in this situation, they did.
And the guys up front killed the run game with penetration.
You know, the Miami saw one play of heavy box, which is the lowest in the league.
You know, after all that stuff they put on tape in the run game,
Sean McTermott's like, fuck it, I got guys, dude.
You haven't been playing guys.
And so Mostert on the wheel route was a great throw from Tua.
It was like the second quarter,
but it's when I started to notice that pocket.
And Tua hadn't been sacked, which in what felt like in weeks.
I mean, the pocket's been really clean.
And I think when Tua's on time, he's top five.
You know, when Tua is, hey, it's one read, let's go.
You know, like he leans into the,
that skill set better than anybody.
But when he's off schedule, he's not that.
And, you know, they had him off schedule more than he's been off schedule all year.
So credit, I'm not taking things away from the Dolphins offense.
It's a credit to McDermott.
It's a credit to McDermott.
It's a credit to this front.
Milano gets the peanut punch.
They start taking the ball away.
And I thought what was huge was Floyd with that sack before the half.
Because if you think about this offense, we talked about last week, the middle eight,
when you're playing the Broncos, how quickly it went from, you know,
3513 at the half from 2110 with five minutes to go because you don't take advantage of a mistake
okay so with this with this Floyd sack they're up 31 14 they're up 31 14 and it prevents a two
for one at the end of the half if you look at that if they go get that touchdown before the half
they score they came out of the half different game it's 31 28 so like I know you get you can't
say hey the sack took seven points off the board necessarily but a lot of times
the sack kills a drive especially against this team so i thought that was huge they blitz more in the
second half and then finally with josh allen every time they play in a big fucking game kyle and i've
watched them all it's josh with his legs it's josh hurtling people it's josh running around
back out with the football like this like you know stiff-arming jalen phillips trying to throw up prayers
this game was like we're going to play this thing under control and then when there's an opportunity to go for the kill
you go for the kill and i thought josh did a great job and he met them halfway on that so i think
was all the more impressive considering the bills didn't capitalize on opportunities because we talk
about when you get the rare opportunities against this team you can't drop a pick you know bernard can't
drop a pick tray white can't drop a pick six after the digs play if he had caught that ball and taking it
the house the top would have come off that fucking building but they still won going away third and 18
most of their fumbles they don't fall on the ball they still won going away that to me is the
most incredible thing of this whole rg3 last week was uh talking about how the miami dolphins are you know
the best team he was doing a lot of capital letters and stuff like yeah i wonder if we're going to get a
bill's tweet to lower case we're going to get bills are good bills are good yeah i told you yeah i
don't know man like listen i think the dolphins are really fucking good um if they weren't really good
we wouldn't be so impressed.
No, yeah.
With what the bills did.
So credit to the Dolphins,
you're not going to win them all.
But they started 3-0 last year.
They're 3-0 this year.
They need Ramsey bad.
They need Ramsey bad.
Bad.
But more than anything,
I just feel like you've got to score
with Josh Allen and the bills.
And I don't know if you can score with them
if that's the kind of defense you're going to see.
You know, and so I just want to credit that defense.
And, you know, for the dolphins,
yeah, they looked human.
that's the delta between the best and worst defense in the league.
You just saw it.
That's crazy.
Right now, the best defensive league is the Bills.
Last week's the worst defense in the league.
The delta is like 50 points.
And don't be fooled.
It's like crazy.
Don't let it go unsaid that when you go from playing the Broncos to playing the bills,
the game speeds up.
Yeah.
I mean, I remember there were games where we played teams where they just didn't have winning rushers at the 3-tech.
And it would be a pretty easy game, not easy, but like relatively speaking.
Yeah.
And then you go to the next week and you got games being ran.
You got downhill linebackers.
It's a different game you're playing.
So I could imagine for that offense, it just looks different.
And when speed is violence, you know, with that Miami offense,
the same way that they slow rushers down and defenders down,
another thing is bills are really good at like the pattern match stuff.
You know, you look back at like last week and they're playing the Broncos.
that was as bad a showing as you could have seen in coverage.
And with all those crosses, you got half the field and man, half in zone.
And then the guys on the zone side aren't picking up the guys that are being asked.
You know, you got to have good linebackers.
You got to be good in the middle of the field to beat these guys.
And in coverage, I thought they were really good at just like adjusting,
playing things on the fly.
But the way the dolphins make you play slow, the bill slowed the dolphins down.
And I think the big question mark is like, can they be?
healthy up front because you know they play these better teams you're going to have to
protect him better than that you started to feel that and for the bills tray white going
out with the the Achilles man terrible if you like if you want to know how much
an NFL player cares about their job watch tray white after that injury he knew it
right away his helmet went flying like 30 yards he was pounding the ground it's one
of the hardest things to see because you know here's the guy who thinks I might win a
super bowl this year I'm late in my career I'm still playing well we're in the middle of
like a benchmark win for us.
Team and personal accolades.
They've been through so much the last few years,
getting to the top of the mountain,
getting kicked off the mountain.
Yeah.
And this is their,
this is their opportunity.
And he pops his Achilles.
And now the question is,
like,
what do you do at Corner?
I have a feeling they might just stick with Elam
because he's played all right
when they've asked him to.
But there is,
like we were talking about yesterday,
like, do you go make a move?
Now, I think those fans are saying,
hey, we're fine.
Like, Bond's going to come back.
The clock's going to speed up.
By the way, Vaughn, I saw the strength coach on the sideline yesterday.
Huge Jack guy named Don Miller.
Von Miller looks like an absolute coach on the sideline.
I was like, that they were paying on the sideline, I was like, that coach is on something.
Yeah.
I was like, oh, it's Von Miller.
There you go.
He looks like he's in playing shape.
Do you have his glasses on?
Yeah, he looks on.
With those glasses on it's like the Clark Kent Superman.
Yeah, yeah, it's amazing.
He's like, oh.
Yeah, he's amazing.
I can't wait to get him back and watch him every Sunday,
but the bills can't wait to get it back in the biggest way
because now they got issues at corner a little bit.
Now, we talk about, you know, the AFCEs,
the Dolphins taking a loss, the Jets taking a loss,
the Patriots taking a loss,
and that wasn't even close.
Mac Jones getting a half day.
Mac Jones getting a half day.
You know, he was tired.
There's no reason to leave him out there.
And listen, I don't know, I don't know,
I don't know what's going on with Mac Jones.
I don't know if that's a regression game,
if it's going to stay that way.
I don't know if we're in the, like, we don't see it,
but there's this big internal struggle between Bill and Robert Kraft.
Because if you remember last year,
Robert Kraft was on Mack's side and Bill was on Zappi side.
Okay, and then at the end of the, at the end of the game,
as I understood it, and then at the end of the game,
you pull Mac Jones, and Bill's like, I'm just pulling him because I didn't see any reason
for him to be out there.
He might not have control over that thing.
And he might not have control because,
Now, well, if you can't run the ball on Dallas, you're fucked.
If you get behind on Dallas, you turn the ball over.
Extra.
You know, especially if you, New England, you're fucked.
But this is the worst I've ever seen.
I mean, it's the worst bill loss ever.
Literally.
And this feels further away than they've ever been.
Now I called him the best own two team a couple weeks ago.
Pat's fans, I'm never betting you again.
You know, you guys are giving me.
shit online.
Port knows.
You need to worry about your
house.
Because it's on fire.
Like, you lose Gonzalez, you lose
Judon.
And as for the Judon
injury, you know, Dietrich
Wise after the game says, devastation,
guys will step up, we'll be with them all
years. So I have a feeling it's not a great deal.
They said bicep?
I don't know what it is, but, you know, like.
Yeah, bicep is what the Aiden back there
has given me the left-handed picture of bicep.
Yeah, it's bicep.
It's bad.
It could have rolled up on him.
It's bad news.
Like they probably knew right away, the MRI's coming or whatever, but.
You can see it sometimes.
If you've never seen an Achilles go full or a bicep go full, it snaps.
It'll like, hold on, where's the, okay.
It'll snap, and then it'll roll up and you'll get like a lump on your eyes.
It's a fruit roll up.
Yeah, it's crazy.
It looks like a little nut under your.
But, yeah, I don't want to spend too much time on this because New England,
I don't know if they're going to be relevant the way they've looked in spots the first month of season.
And I just think when you have the receivers you have or don't have,
you have the offensive line that you have or don't have,
Mack Jones isn't some world beater quarterback.
You have to dress things up around him.
It's the opposite and the defense just lost two of its best players.
Now I don't know how long Gonzalez is out, but we'll see.
Well, it's like this offense is the same one he's been running since Alabama
and he's comfortable with it.
I'm like, maybe change that.
Well, they tried it last year.
They were like, we're going to give you something totally different.
We're going to give you two guys that stayed at a holiday and express last night.
They're going to call the plays.
Pretend you're playing against NFL player.
Couldn't be any more different from Bama.
Pretend you're playing.
Ready break.
Against NFL players.
Well,
we're not playing Tennessee.
The Cowboys side,
they are better than anybody at jumping teams.
Like when they jump you,
they are some front running.
I mean,
this is a compliment,
because a physical team with a great pass rush
should be this way.
They are some front running sons of guns.
And Duran Blan,
who is supposed to be like a good number three
behind Gilmore and Diggs,
even after that rookie year,
where he's so ball aware, like, he's having to play a big role,
and he goes and gets two picks yesterday.
So if you're a Cowboys fan, you feel pretty good.
Remember what I said about digs.
You lose some top end stuff, but maybe you pick up a couple things
that you didn't have in his game.
I mean, Blan, if he can give you the ball-aware stuff
and play sound on the outside, like, they'll be all right with that pass rush.
So we talked about last week.
I think the problems were up front offensively,
and then in the run game, they just got jumped.
and I thought the Cardinals had a great game plan.
They probably had a better day.
The Cowboys did than the Eagles, if I'm admitting it.
But I thought the Eagles had a really gutsy win, man.
I don't know if you guys saw much of this game.
It was back and forth, back and forth, back and forth, bro.
It was, I'm happy for Vietnam.
I'm happy for Howe after.
They both had great days.
The week he had last week.
Dead or alive.
Somebody said we should play Dead or alive with quarterbacks.
Howell, alive.
Yeah.
Like last week, dead, this week alive, like I said,
is he going to turn into a pumpkin?
no it's not midnight yet man i'm surprised that they tried to air it out early like they ultimately
protected him pretty well too i'll talk about that in a minute but like they gave him opportunities
to make plays in the past game and they were trying to take them they mixed in some you know robinson
i thought it'd be a lot of downhill like you know big tight end sets that sort of thing they did a lot
of gun run with gibson and it makes sense considering the front they're facing like you know i guess
they chose the we're going to take some shots on these guys and try to block them up over the
over we're going to just run the teeth of defense uh they're coming off nine sacks i was just
surprised so howell made some really nice throws the throw he made with milton williams draped all
over him was kind of brett farbish i don't want to say it but sam how is like the chicken
eating brett farv like on a very minor league level and like some people are going to be like
did you just compare him to bret farb i'm just saying the variability in the play and the gunslinger
attitude it's kind of fun and if he can actually continue now guys in the back end it kind of
speaks to what they think about the eagle's back end okay but this looked really good and for the
eagles you're looking at and like look what the bills doing them last week we didn't make it look
this way so we have a ways to go to get better um now maybe it is the bills flu that's going around
and it's hard to compare anybody to the bills right they're just that good right now but the
eagles probably want to be better and penalties extended early drives
I mean, you had, I think, a hold and then a helmet to helmet, maybe an admins penalty.
You know, it was Lopsided earlier.
What?
Like 173?
Well, they find themselves down 147.
14.
And I thought the D-line, and this is a perfect example, did enough.
And they were fighting and scratching and claw.
And it was one of those games where maybe they didn't have eight sacks.
But their fucking fingerprints are all over this game, Kyle.
I mean, Josh Sweat, you talk about being down 14-7 at home.
That place is about to go dead silent, maybe boo you.
Boobbirds.
They come.
And Josh Sweat with a sack on first down in the red zone.
You had a fletch creating pressure all day, creating sacks, stopping the sneak play.
Like everybody had a hand in.
Hassan Reddick on third down, Josh Sweat had a great rush too.
And Jalen Carter playing his ass off on 3rd and 17.
He's spinning.
He's hitting the ground.
I have a clip of him, Kyle, where he falls on his face.
He had such a good spin move.
He just runs over the guard.
He falls on the face.
and he's trying to propel himself off the ground with his hand in the air.
That is fucking championship effort, Cal, Kyle.
That's the effort that I saw last week against Tampa Bay.
He did it again.
He ran out of stack.
Oh, when he was covering.
And blasted somebody.
Okay, I get chills thinking about it because that is the scratching and clawing
that it takes to win games in the NFL for a defensive line.
And there are going to be days like that where you're like, what the fuck?
They're hitting shots on us.
It's fourth and two the next play.
He's leaping out of the ground.
He's flying up the field.
And BG, who's done everything they've ever asked them to, moved up and down the line, moved
inside when I was in Philly.
This kind of guy he is.
Hated it when he was.
Yeah, I bet you did.
I bet you did.
Get your little ass on the biggie.
And then he was in the A gap on the biggest rush of the game, the reblankenship arm play,
where he hurried them a little bit to not be able to get that third and five,
I think it was in overtime.
and to set up the game winning score.
So like BG, everybody's stepping up.
Give a little love to Blankenship, too.
Yeah, people, the Blankenship arm play was huge, Kyle.
Give a little love to blank.
His arm, you know, and somebody said he had a farmer's tan
that kept it like, you know,
just obvious enough that his arm wasn't the white line.
But when you talk about nine sacks last week,
you talk about the Eagles,
I don't know what the box score says,
but watching this tape, they affected the game.
A lot of pressures.
But the reason you can't just look at pressures when you look at like, did an offensive line play well,
is because Sam Hal held the ball for almost three seconds.
They really took shots.
So when you look at that, you want to look at time to throw and pressures.
And what that tells you about the game is guys were winning, but Washington was extending plays and not afraid to take shots.
I thought the fucking final sequence, because it ended the way I wanted it to, was beautiful.
I mean, you had a third and 17, a fourth and two.
by the way they were just picking on Job
at the end of the game Kyle
you'll love this when I was
in New England Martellus Bennett
we used to just complain during stress
because fucking we're in New England
it's like I got knee braces
on in practice what the fuck is going on
here and you know like guys are just bitching like they do
and Marty used to just stand up and start talking
about this guy from the Bible named Job
he'd say they took Job's livestock
they took Job's son
They took his house and he didn't complain.
You know, so all I'm saying is Job.
I know it's tough.
You know, they're targeting you.
There's penalties.
The whole thing.
But like, you could be the Job from the Bible.
And there's a lesson in there.
It's like, wake up tomorrow.
Let's just play better.
You know?
Open up Job.
The book of Job.
I'm sure some of y'all, yeah.
Also in the Bible.
And just taking a page from my boy, Martellis Bennett, who I texted him last day.
And I was like, I love, I love, can you tell me the story of Job?
where do you text me here this is a live show so i apologize
marty did do an interview one time and say that our entire roster was a bunch of
bitches
bunch of bitches and i was like man he's talking about me too
well god sent his angels to take all of job hey listen
well god this is a text last night at 1157 p.m. from marty because i text
him like can you tell me the jobs story again he goes well god sent his angels to take all
the job's shit the donkeys the wheat his children and his host
Joe didn't complain or curse God.
Instead, he cursed himself.
He looked inward.
And since he blamed himself and never cursed God,
God hooked him up with more health and wealth.
He gave him twice as many hoes, horses, donkeys.
He upgraded, homie.
Shout out to the orange dinosaur, Martellus Bennett.
So I just want Job to look inward.
And the word of God.
Because at first, when I text him, he's like,
he's like, what's the context?
I was like, well, there's a corner named Job.
getting picked on.
He reminded me of you.
And he said, I don't know if that's going to work.
You're going to talk about it on the pod.
And then he told me, I go, Marty, this works perfect.
Yeah.
Okay.
But I will say at the end of the game, if that fucker had caught the ball at the goal line,
the game's over.
And then if Ron Rivera goes for two, I feel like the game's over too.
I'm glad you call him Ron Rivera because the Riverboard one thing out the window.
Monikers out.
Out.
He just keeps saying these Ron things, you know, like older guys.
they just say things and you're like, come on.
And then he has to like go back and fix it.
I didn't mean they were tired, which is why we didn't try to win the game.
One play on the two-yard line.
How far do you have to run?
Who else is tired?
The defense is fucking tired.
If I feel like my team is tired, oh, let's put them in overtime.
Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, on the road.
Like what?
So, I mean, like, really entertaining game.
Sam Howell, he took some steps.
Jake Elliott.
We were ready to go to the AFC North because
everybody was struggling.
Except for Lamar in the red zone.
Oh, Lamar in the red zone?
Buddy, Lamar's playing well and the offense doesn't revolve around it.
I mean, it does, but it doesn't revolve around him running the ball, getting hurt, having to do much.
The way we talk about Josh Allen, we have been waiting to see Todd Monkins' offense.
Like, this is the life wrap for Lamar.
He's been out in the water for a couple of years now.
Like finally the lifeboat gets there.
You want to make sure it floats.
You want to make sure it can get back to port.
It's got some amenities on there.
This thing's pretty hooked up, man.
I think they look good offensively.
I really like, I mean, they were blitzed 53% of the time.
He was eight for nine under pressure for 136 in a Tud.
All he's got to do is take care of the ball.
That's the one thing with Lamar and the Ravens offense is like for the 15th week in
row it feels like they just fumble a handoff or some, you know, benign,
situation that could let this team get back in the game now luckily browns are out there
fucking around but i thought the drive to end the half if you want to watch this game go back
and watch the drive to end the half you had elite armed stuff you want touch we had touch
pass to gordon okay you want 43 yards on a fucking frozen rope you got flowers on a bro on on a
broken play rolling right you want red zone artistry Kyle that you were talking about you got
andrews um they just they just look great and i think Kyle
The run game is the big difference here.
The run game's great.
And having an awesome plan when you get into the low red area,
when you have a weapon like Lamar Jackson is key.
My biggest gripe with coordinators,
they take the football out of his hand.
Yeah.
When you get into that area as a defender,
now I've never played defense in the NFL,
but as a defender, if I know it's Lamar Jackson
who's going to be making the play in the red area,
I don't know where I'm going to look.
I don't like my chances.
But if Lamar, if you tell me before the play,
Lamar's going to hand it,
I like our chances more.
Yeah.
If Lamar's got it in the drop back, if he's got it in the read option,
if he's got it on the draw,
if he's got it on a quarterback crack,
you can win so many ways.
Munkin knows this.
He's putting him in position.
There are rare walk-in touchdowns in the NFL.
Lamar had one.
Listen.
Untouched.
Oh, he had a walk-in touchdown,
and they're doing it.
It's a QB follow.
Untouched.
It's a QB follow.
He's going to hand the ball up to Gus Edwards.
Gus Edwards then takes from the right side,
then pivots back out and leads Lamar into the end zone.
starts tugging his jersey.
Counter lead.
It's like,
you be counter lead.
With, with the, with the,
with the,
the back being the lead.
I mean, like, they're doing a lot of cool shit.
And I thought,
Kyle, people are talking about the big, bad,
Brown's defense,
and they are big and bad.
And they have had a great run.
But I was waiting to see how they,
they perform against a professional outfit here.
And I thought the Ravens came out there
and like, number one,
we're not afraid to run the ball on you guys.
I'm looking up there five yards of pop
in the first half at one point.
And number two,
we're gonna use your,
aggressiveness against you.
Traps,
whams.
I mean,
there was a counterplay where...
You trap penetrators.
You wham penetrators.
They're leaving the edge guy on block.
They're just,
they're giving him some hands,
which makes him think he's getting blocked.
And then they're letting him just run up the...
We had an align coach who said,
if you come off the...
Like, this three technique gets horny.
And by horny, I mean,
he will try to just...
He wants sacks.
Like, pin his ears back and go.
Those are the guys that we can absolutely blindside
in the run game and have...
ashes. And they did.
You know that. If you're unblocked, you got to get your head around.
You got to be able to read. There's something wrong.
Yeah. You know, it's a, it's a sting. It's a trap.
It's a sting operation, man. I'm not buying drugs tonight. Yeah. You know, we don't need to buy
drugs right now. Nobody's blocking me. Oh, there's, there's Simpson earhole in me.
I mean, this guy, Simpson, the first play, D. Smith running up the field, they, they run
like counter or something. And Simpson hits him so fucking hard. I heard it on the mic,
boom on the far sideline dude it was like smack dude it was like the first play of the
fucking game and that to me is raven's football and then they get down in the red area
simpson's turning the three technique they got so many pullers pullers got no work pullers think
they're buying drugs from a cop like pullers are out there like there's nobody here it's because
we're just so fucking dominant in the run game right now and they called such a great game i'm so excited
man my baltimore ravens my a fc north champion baltimore ravens hey i say a lot of shit that's
but I feel really good right now.
I also feel good about Cleveland finishing last.
So we got, and the fake jet sweep,
one minute, player.
Player, because I'm all fucking horny.
I just got one thing after this.
Good, because I got something to say.
Zay Flowers and the motion stuff
looks a little Miami-ish.
You got a guy that's scary enough
with his speed and that sort of thing.
Say Flowers and Tyreek, the two baddest kids in the league.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, like just badass kids.
If it gets quiet and babysitting him,
you're like, where is it?
Yeah, where Zay Flowers?
Zay Flowers is like next store.
I mean, like, the monitor didn't even pick it up.
So Zay Flowers, this jet motion stuff,
look at the first touchdown that I was talking about
in the counteraction on the wide shot.
The entire second level of defense is shifting with Zay Flowers.
They're doing great things to manipulate leverage.
And it's the same thing on another touchdown as well.
And then a Melvin Gordon explosive down in the red zone.
And Justice Hill's doing a great job.
Justice Hill's doing just a great job.
So I love the run game.
I love the run game.
I want to know what's up with Morgan Moses.
He came out.
So Thompson Robinson gets the start.
What are we doing?
He's a UCLA guy.
He's got 48 starts in college.
I like him,
but what are we doing?
He's experienced.
Like, if, you know, on paper, him and Brock Purdy are kind of similar in terms of experience.
So I was expecting a guy to come out there and not run fucking backwards the whole game.
He ran backwards.
He ran sideways.
He ran backwards again.
He ran forwards.
It's, you need your guy in there.
If you want to win games.
You need, that's one of those teams where you need all the pieces.
Well, not to make it go.
Because they are like, they are relatively average in some spots.
Well, you don't have Chuck.
You don't have Deshawn Watson.
Now you're looking at an uphill battle against an offense you can't miss in the run.
And you're going to be playing from behind against a team that can run the ball at will.
They're a Cooper stubbed toe away from having really not a lot of great options in the past game.
And Joku playing through Burns.
I mean, like, I don't know what's going on there.
But like, you know, we, we have, we have decent bad.
backs now. The offensive line is a plus. But Deshaun hasn't played two good games in a row since it's
been a Houston, Texan. But Tonyo's not healthy. You know, Deshaun not even being out there. You don't get a
chance to build on last week. And Kyle, third and one, they're throwing the ball with DTR, third and three.
That's the pick. Third and one, they're doing some trick play where DTR catches the ball on the
throwback. It's like, why are we reinventing the wheel? Laja Moore's running 15 yards back on an
end around. Like, they just were fucking around out there. There's penalties the whole thing. And Kyle,
lastly roquan smith yes was ultimately right and i fucking love this guy Kyle the best i met him in a
hotel when i was speaking to the rookies and i was like hey man i love your game and he was like super
cool that's the only time i've ever met him uh but it's true like i was so happy to see this guy
most genuine guy and most like yeah old school throwback guy and that's what showed up in the
pros he said we're going to beat your ass in front of your wives and kids but with a smile on
his face he said it and did you see him tattooed d t t r on the fucking right side
I let DTR's like, oh God, Rokan Smith coming.
I'm going to throw the ball forward for eight yards.
That's the line of scrimmage here.
Roquan talked to talk, then he walked to walk, and Clownie was disruptive.
I want to shout him out, especially in the first half.
He's done a really good job in Baltimore on the low.
Second of league.
The Raven Way is buying in.
Second in the league in yards to play aloud quietly with like no stars on defense.
Roquan Smith, the close thing to the star.
Breaking news.
news. Can we bring some news? Updated depth charts and fantasy. Don't care.
Fuck.
Something about Pat Friar move. We'll get to that. So I thought I thought Cleveland,
you know, if you want to say, take something away from, we talked about the quarterback.
The defense just has to play in situations like this, like, like they can't give up anything.
I don't, I don't know if it's the fact that Deshaun was up for a while and then he was down.
But like usually a defense plays better. Yeah. All week, you're like with Deshaun, I think we had, like,
We can win this game.
It's like game time.
You get the backup things.
Well, if you have a whole week to prepare with DTR,
the whole game plan's different.
And then you're like,
we play complimentary football differently.
We got to tighten up the whole thing.
I don't want to spend too much time on the Steelers.
We'll get to them in a second.
But Kyle Sincey.
You can't, okay, 94% of your snaps are out of shotgun.
Something astronomical like that.
And you have questions about your run game, right?
Nolan's like,
like, why can't we run the ball? Well, that's a lot. Yeah, yeah. If Joe Burroughs not healthy enough
to be under center and do play action or hand off the ball with his back to the defense or move
the pocket, I'm not sure if he's healthy enough to be on the field. That's where I am. So,
if you want to fix this Bengals offense, put somebody in there who can run the stretch play under
center, who can run play action.
roll out who can find Jemar Chase who's always fucking open yeah um i just i don't see the bengals having
success if one joe joe burrow's not relatively healthy the ability to move is huge i know he's not
a big mobility guy anyway but tom brady wasn't either but if tom brady couldn't maneuver the pocket
shit didn't look good for him but that's his biggest pocket mobility comp and joe's more athletic
than tom we always talk about that he can't make those little movements
that buy him an extra 20 yards.
You can't make those little movements
that buy him five on third and four.
You know, like the thing Trevor Lawrence did
where on the first fourth down of the game,
he ducks under, homeboy,
hits Ridley for the touchdown.
Like Joe's movements are so good when he's healthy.
He's just a sitting duck, to your point.
Yeah, and as to the running game,
you cannot win in the National Football League
if you don't have an offense predicated on the run game.
Yeah.
I know that there's examples that prove otherwise, but in large part, you got to run the football.
You got to get under center.
You got to hit guys with fullbacks, tight ends, play side.
And they just, they haven't.
They spread everybody out, and they haven't had success.
Kyle, I mean, you could say since he had a short week, you know, off Monday Night Football and maybe physical game.
We all had short weeks.
The whole thing, you could say, you know, the Bengals' first month of the season, throw it out.
I think this is different.
I do.
and this is part of what I was worried about this year
with Joe not getting the off season,
Joe with the injury.
I mean, you just paid this guy
more than any human being
who throws a fucking football on the planet
and you got beat by the team
that's been trying to replace their quarterback for two years.
Mbapé throws it in sometimes.
Yeah, Mbapet is true.
I knew you'd have one.
But like, you know, the Titans all do respect to them
and they're a good football team, right?
And they just keep bludgeoning people.
Well, coach, tough, run the ball.
But you've beaten them two years in a row.
The last two games are really painful for those guys.
And maybe that's had a lot to do with it.
Instead of worrying about them coming to town,
you're worrying about getting your shit together.
Three touchdowns through three weeks.
No third down conversion until the nine minute mark to go in the game.
And Burrow said it.
He looks like a statue.
You can't move the pocket.
Higgins, the thing is gone to shit.
He's hurt.
Yep.
So if you're thinking about ever moving him or paying him, like, I don't know what's going on there.
Push the number back.
Yeah.
They had it going like Drive 1.
If you watch the first 10 plays of this offense, you're like, oh, they're back.
But in the red zone, it just stalls.
And then they get them to third downs.
Like Pennessey started walking people up late in the run front,
and they just run into heavy boxes.
And they just, they don't seem to have adjustments for the situation they're in.
And then getting third down and Joe would just get pummeled.
So defense couldn't stop Henry, even with stacked boxes.
You know, I've seen Marvin Lewis's name been thrown around online.
from Bengals fans, which means they're starting to get really
Marvin Lewis.
They're like, this feels like Marvin Lewis again, that sort of thing.
And I also saw a Bengals fan make this point,
and we made this point before with Joe Burrow.
We made it early in his career,
and I thought they got away from it.
But you worry that a guy like him,
who's supremely talented,
who's got the it factor,
who's tough to a fault,
because I think he shouldn't be in this game.
And he'll stand back there and take hits.
and it's gotten him in trouble.
Andrew Luck was the same way.
And Andrew Luck was more athletic,
but the way they mismanaged his career in Indy,
I'm worried they're going to look back at Joe Burrow
and say, hey, what might have been?
This was the guy that we were like,
this was the guy that was like Tom Brady 2.0.
This is the guy that we've been.
Well, yeah, like the traditional,
the traditional just lawn deer
with a little bit more of the last relic of like yesterday.
But with Moxie and toughness.
He's like a modernized Tom.
They're going to knock the moxie right out of him.
Yeah, yeah.
On the other side of things, you mentioned Derek Henry running the ball well.
I want to give a big shout out to the Titans offensive line.
Goes on the road, gets a huge performance and win.
Last week they were embarrassed.
Yeah, they were down Skoronsky.
But, you know, you get embarrassed against superior defense,
and you show up this week against a dominant offense or a dominant defense have been.
The Bengals here have been good.
You just run them out of the stadium.
And I know Taylor's seat's not hot because they don't do shit like fire coaches early.
InCency, that owner doesn't want to spend any money.
It doesn't have to.
They don't even know what colors their team.
But I would be like, hey, if you can't manage this quarterback situation better, you're gone.
Because he is, he looked like the future.
And it would be really sad if in 20 years, I'm telling Waylon at dinner, like, you should have seen Joe Burrow.
I know you didn't get to see him.
But when you were like five, he was unbelievable.
But do you think they have pressure?
Because the time he was seven, he was shot.
Yeah.
Do you think they have pressure from up top because they did just pay him that like he needs to be on the field?
If they do, it's dumb because that's all the more reason to take care of him.
Every team's different.
That's all the more reason to take care of him.
Of course, but like some teams feel like, yo, like we need to win now.
It's a snowstorm.
You just got that Bentley.
Go drive it.
You know, like the tailing out there.
Why wouldn't you drive your Bentley?
Like things are fucked up right now.
You just bought a Bentley.
Keep it in the garage.
Like, just punt on the things.
thing for a couple weeks. So anyways, I don't want to say like, hey,
Tanner Hill, really good game. Derek Henry, slow to start, fast to finish. And I know
those type of games when you run a defense out of the building. Yeah. There's not a better
locker room feeling after a game than dominating up front. And we're going to talk about the
AFC North in a second, but like, yeah, Tennessee bludgeoning people, you know, Gibson, Key, Autry, Simmons,
up front, they're scary. Simmons, bro, is such a problem. And Henry looking like Derek Henry. I just
I know the last, I know the last two games against his team didn't feel good.
I had to feel good for Ryan Tannhill.
And to his credit, although they've been really inconsistent.
This was a really good game from him and them.
Dead or alive, Ryan Tannahill.
He just like, he's like Keith Richards.
He's, can't kill that guy.
Like, you just, he's hard to kill.
Yep.
You got an ad read for me, Reed.

don't say pizza pizza pizza pizza everybody right I'm looking at college please don't just
start saying pizza pizza pizza after every ad read I give me your thing
You want to know if one car max.
I just thought of something that was funny.
So MJ and Scotty Pippin used to bet on at the Bulls games,
they would have a cup of coffee.
Remember the races at Soldier Field?
They would have the races on the Demotron.
It was a cup of coffee, a donut,
and like some other bakery item.
And MJ would get to the stadium so early at the United Center
that he would see them running through the test of it.
Yeah, he was fucking with Scottie Pippin.
And he would bet Scotty every once in a while.
for a lot of money.
And then some days he would let Scottie win.
For less money.
And then he would beat him.
Uh-huh.
That is beautiful, dude.
Shout out to MJ.
Holy shit, that's awesome.
That's the most MJ thing ever.
He would bully people in different ways.
Scottie,
I bet the coffee wins.
He just called Scotty Borrell a bitch,
and then he'd go drain Pippins Bank account because he knew him.
Larson would be so angry.
Oh, my God.
I don't want to talk about that.
too spicy.
Ooh.
All right.
Too much seasoning.
This is a family.
This is a family show.
Speaking of family.
Okay.
So yeah,
exactly.
I want to talk about the,
I want to talk about the,
I want to talk about the,
the,
the AFC South,
I think is what I want to talk about.
Yes.
But we can't do that
without first dumping on the Steelers
because they lost to the Texans.
And I don't know what's going on
with Kenny Pickett's knee.
But I actually,
I'm excited to see Mitchell Trebisky,
how.
I'm so pumped for Mitch.
and I hate it for Kenny.
Yeah, it's tough.
You and I have been through terrible injuries, Nate, I'm sure you have too.
Who knows?
It might not be an ACL.
But, you know, when you see a knee, you can't help but think the worst.
So we saw Trubisky briefly, but obviously the same thing with the, you know,
the backup quarterback game plan is different than the starting quarterback.
We're going to see a Mitch Trubisky game plan, Steelers fans.
So don't burn your jerseys yet.
Yeah.
He's a guy that's got Moxie.
We want to talk about Moxie.
He's got it.
I'm looking forward to him playing.
and yeah, the Steelers, they suck.
Steelers.
Hammered the Nizje Harris.
All the props under or over?
Over.
Over.
That's a fucking brave soul that's going to be hammering Naji Harris.
I think they're going to be, they're going to have new quarterback.
You got to run the bull.
You got to establish the run for him.
I don't know if there's that much of a difference right now the way Kenny was playing.
No, is all I'm saying.
And I don't think you say the Steelers suck.
They did and they do.
They've been blown out in half their games.
Like, I don't know, like a Mike Thomas.
team that starts season like this, I'm kind of shook up about it.
I mean, you know, like they're supposed to have a high floor.
You know, if anything, low ceiling, high floor.
They'll be above 500.
I hope I got the fucking overwind total.
Statistically speaking, Tomlin.
I fucking pray, Kyle.
But, hey, but CJ, CJ Stroud.
But they're not burning fucking, they're not burning jerseys, Kyle.
They're burning headsets.
They're burning Matt Canada's headset.
Oh, they didn't do some.
headset burning they're burning syrup i've just had enough like i don't know man i feel like the
steelers offense the past couple years have been the same old thing no growth you get two man
out in the fucking route with eight guys waiting back there the zone spacing's bad they don't
work cohesively we talked about after san francisco guys just like not knowing how to extend
downs and find voids and zones like they just in the passing game it's it's so vanilla
and it's and it's not even like sound you know like
If it's going to be vanilla, let's make it sound.
It's like unsound and vanilla.
Yeah, it's like dirty vanilla.
Yeah.
And so,
Breyer-Muth and Robinson not separating.
I mean,
like the O-line play has Pickett a little spook.
But the offense in general,
the scheme is the problem.
And, you know,
like, Pickett could be the problem.
I don't know,
but I can't give him a complete report card
in this offense.
Just like I can't give Justin Fields all the time
a complete report card.
And that Chicago offense,
the way they failed to progress.
We'll get there.
We'll get there.
But like,
I just think it's alarming for the Steelers.
And I'm not going to spend much more time on it
because they have played their way into a small breakdown.
Trubisky, go out there, play fearless, do your thing.
You've been a pro bowler before.
You've got weapons around you.
You've got a bunch of guys who are like, fuck it at this point.
Go do your thing, man.
We're all behind you.
Whatever happens, we got your back.
Yeah, Mitch.
Love Mitch.
Don't fuck it up, Mitch.
You're going to have money on you, fuckers.
Stop.
I do.
I do.
You put a season future on them.
That was your dangerous team.
I also have the Raiders under.
I also have the Ravens over.
I also have like, so I've been winning.
You and Meena, I'm winning.
Steelers, but I like the Steelers.
I like the Steelers.
Steelers, I mean, Steelers, high floor, we thought.
All right, Texans.
Texans have a high floor, dude.
What do you see that?
Will Mitch see that?
Mitch needs to see that.
Mitch, you need to see that.
That's going to be the difference for you.
If you see Kyle pointing at the camera.
Screaming.
Like a wrestling promo.
Oh, Mitch Trubesky, brother.
Who do they got next week coming to the field?
I don't know who's playing.
You're going to give 57 different ingredients and dominance Mitch Trubisky.
Today for the Polsky's.
I want to take Matt Candidon and snap his little neck.
For Men or Ohio, everybody in the Ohio River Valley.
Hell yeah, brother.
Hell yeah, brother.
Today, Mike Tomlin, brother, you got to walk down to Matt Canada's office and you have to delete him.
From the building.
Yes.
When I get through with Matt Canada, he won't be allowed back in America.
Send him on one of the three rivers north.
Okay.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
I'm glad we did that.
All right.
I feel like I need a slim gym, though.
CJ Stroud, sucker.
Hulk Hogan, we're coming for you.
Is that Booker Tee?
Booker Tee, bro.
He used to shoot the best promo.
Sometimes he forgot he was shooting a promo.
All right.
You remember that.
Yeah, he's the only one who's allowed to remember that.
All right, so we have the Texans, man.
The offense just continues to move along.
And that's the cool thing is like the Texans offense,
like Stroud didn't have to do anything spectacular yesterday
and they scored 30 points again
and I'm happy for this kid.
He's having everybody to his house for dinner.
He's got dinner every night.
That's great.
Guys, the pros, pro.
Guys coming through getting some food and the go boxes.
When the Bears defense was good before I was there
with Erlacker and Briggs and Tillman,
they had, Erlacker had those guys over there every night.
And on the Friday they had like casino night.
They did stuff together.
Yeah.
This is how it is.
is.
This is how it's supposed to be in the NFL.
But you know what's nice, Kyle?
Do Miko was like, do this?
Yeah, maybe.
All these guys are young.
Like, there's a lot of young guys on the same.
They have a sprinkling of vets.
Like, they have their, their Robert Woods is their, their, their, their, the fucking
TCU, Jerry Hughes, who I love.
Like, they have those older guys.
He's a great player.
But he's had a great career.
But Slow, he's doing a great job.
I like in the run game helping shroud not make big mistakes like listen the run game hasn't
been explosive you've been trying to get damian pierce back on it but yesterday it hit the perimeter
really nicely um again he didn't have to make tough throws like he made tough throws but it wasn't
like the first thing on the menu and they have the old line down they've got guys up you know who
aren't supposed to be up they don't have stars on offense in my opinion and they've scored 70 points
the past two weeks against jacksonville and pittsburg and the defense is so fucking well coached
Kyle. Like I'm, I'm going to change from trying to make Waylon into a Jaguars fan to a Texans fan.
Because I love this team. Tax reasons. I also love Damico Ryan's, man. I mean, we've been
hyping this guy up. Great for defensive coaches, man. You know, usually you see defensive coach,
what's going on with the Iver flus? Look at what's going on with like, buddy. And not there
And every time, every time, every time a defensive coach gets in there, I feel like, and that
pipeline thing is fucked up because it does. It eliminates a lot of, a lot of coaches who are good
coaches. It eliminates a lot of coaches of color. Like Domingo Ryan's minority head football coach going
in there dominating. You can't keep these guys out of league, man. I'm just really happy for a D.C.
who played in the league, who I played against young coach, going in there and balling out.
And his defense is well fucking coach. They don't have.
bunch of stars but they understand leverage they play hard they got good people and it rubs off on
the entire team i told you last week watching demico rinds get their game ball usually i don't fall
for that shit yesterday Denver they gave john peyton the game ball it was like so vanilla i was like
just give them the fucking just give them the sleeves he cut off bad game ball yeah give them his
sleeves too but when demico got the game ball i was like i'm in bro like i just want to play for
Domeco, I want to watch them, I want to root for them as a player.
Seems like a good place to be.
So hats off to C.J.
Stroud.
Hats off to that offense.
Hats off to defense.
I don't have any fucking hats.
I said it on tops yesterday.
I said C.J.
Stroud is going to throw 300 against his defense who is allowing the league least.
You don't like you plug in tops.
And you know what?
Greenlight live stream.
C.J. Stroud, my guy, he's becoming, he's climbing my power rank.
He's pretty awesome.
Dudes I like.
Yeah, dude, I like.
We like him.
So, you know, AFC South had a really good day, starting with the Texans.
And I'm starting with the Texas.
They just beat the Jags.
So are they for real?
We'll see.
That's jerseys.
They look sick in that all red.
Jacksonville, they got comfortable in London.
They started fast.
They out gained Atlanta like 150 to 5.
They gave Ridley his early revenge.
They got Ridley going.
And I thought hearing Lawrence say, hey, we're getting on the same page.
I don't know if you saw that facts with your Jags.
but like Ridley just making the adjustment on that,
on that fourth and six to say,
hey, coverage is up.
I think it's a busted coverage.
I'm going to keep on going.
That should look fired in Andy's Roe.
It really did.
It looked so fire that touchdown.
Yeah.
They put a little zip or like a little like flame stream on the ball or something.
The touchdown.
Yeah.
Do you watch that touchdown on Toy Story?
Yeah.
I watched the whole game in Toy Story, bro.
I'm telling you.
It was amazing.
I mean, I cannot believe this.
What would be another version of that toy store?
Like, what other cartoon would you put in there?
Ooh, another cartoon.
We'll think about it, moving on.
I don't know.
That's good, though.
Family guy.
He's the football.
South Park.
South Park.
Cartman as the red.
Good one.
Respect by authority.
The heavy package is Stan's Dad with the balls in the wheelbarrow.
Oh, we're live.
You know, like, you can't, they can't figure out what plays the call.
You know the episode with the manatees and they're making fun of family guy?
And they're like, this is how we pick the topics.
That's how Nathaniel Hackett's picking.
It's just manatee deciding.
Aaron's like, no, I said dolphin.
This is for the play selection.
So anyways, like, yeah, that would work.
But I just thought, like, with Noze Jones going to get Kirk, they get in room going,
I thought Lawrence looked good with his legs and throwing the football.
This was a get-right game for them.
I, you know, I've said this.
Jacksonville's not in huge trouble.
they had to get on the same page.
They're doing that.
It's week four.
Let's not panic.
They took care of business at home because this is like a home game for them.
They're just staying in fucking London.
Was that Tottenham?
I don't know.
The pitch looked flick.
The hot spurs?
Yeah.
Just as importantly though, Kyle, they got the rush going last week.
There's nothing more emasculating, Nate.
And you know this.
It's not even the run game because that can be really emasculating.
But most people don't pay attention to run fits.
Like if you don't get sacks against a group,
that all week the media is writing about you're supposed to get after this group it's indivision
you're supposed to it's at home the whole thing if four hits on cj stroud you know they show up this
week they go across the pond josh allen has three sacks they get after uh dozen ridder a little bit
and i just want to get to desmond ritter because i tweeted this yesterday and falcons fans i want
water i want y'all i want our relationship to be good and i think it comes with communication
any relationship any marriage and i want to marry all 32 of the fan bases so
So I want to foster good communication.
I want you guys to like us,
but I also have to be honest with you.
I don't think Desmond Ritter's it.
I said that in the YouTube,
and it's funny,
people were calling me drunk and all this shit,
and I went back during the third quarter of the game
was answering all the YouTube.
So I answer some of the,
you're not wrong.
Somebody was like, this fucking loser.
I was like,
how are you doing this morning?
I hope you lost some money on the game.
And I do.
But for those of you who have an open mind,
Desmond Ritter is not the guy.
I say this because every fucking article
I opened him this morning,
was after only throwing one interception, his first seven stars, I'm like, people are not watching
the games. You know, people were accusing me of not watching games. You're not watching the games.
He's number one in turnover worthy plays and people have thrown the ball. There's 24 people on the
planet who have thrown the ball more than him. He's starting quarterback in the league. Okay,
so like just yesterday, the difference was they caught the fucking ball. Okay. And the thing that worries
me is they're seeing a shit ton of loaded boxes. And Bijon Robinson, he goes like what?
115 against a 8-man box.
14 rushes for 105.
He faced seven defenders in the box 10 to 14 carries.
You cannot argue with me on this thing.
Teams are saying,
I dare you.
Yeah, I dare you, Desmond.
I double dog, dare you.
Our offensive coordinators used to say it is disrespectful
what they're doing to us on defense.
And you know, if I'm Taylor Heineke,
who I made the point yesterday,
you know, Taylor Heineke was on this show last week,
or not last week, last year.
And he was talking about, you know,
a bunch of things.
But when I brought up the Alman brothers,
he didn't know a single song.
So I do think it's time,
but he should have to do a presentation
before he takes the field
where he tells Arthur Smith
or the entire team.
Most of the team's probably like,
I don't know who the Alman brothers are either,
which is fucking sad.
But I just, it's going to be a stormy Monday in Atlanta.
Living in a new world.
It's going to be a stormy Monday there.
It probably already is.
It's not my cross to bear, guys.
It's yours.
But I think the Falcons probably have to make a change.
You know, this team has dreams.
And for Arthur Smith, there's only one way out.
I want to be a part of this artie party.
You know what I mean?
Like, it is fun.
And I'm an O-Lyman.
I love Bijan.
I love the weapons.
And I love the mustache.
And I just wish I could get down with the quarterback, too.
Because that is a city that will rally around a better-than-okay quarterback.
And Desmond is just...
And do you think Pitts done somebody wrong?
Nobody knows Allman Brothers songs.
I just Taylor Swift did you guys.
for like no no no no hold on chris chris stick with me here on the kyle pitts thing what
team would kyle pitts be best on um uh wait i just thought about this i thought about this yesterday
texans the raiders no no who needs the tight end the bangles could use the tight end like a motherfucker
dallas cowboys dallas cowboys wow could you imagine kyle pits in dallas miami dolphins the dolphins
not the dolphins actually care to use the tight end too slow Kyle pitt's too slow i'm i'm forgetting somebody obvious
because yesterday I was thinking about this, but...
Not the Bears. Did you see Colcomit yesterday?
You know who the Falcons could use
and Falcons fans are pointing this out?
Justin Fields. Dude, let's make it happen.
So we'll talk about that in a second.
And we'll get Caleb Williams.
We'll trade Justin Fields for Kyle Pitts.
Yeah.
And a pick.
Yeah.
Or three.
Mm-hmm.
And we'll get Caleb Williams.
We'll get Jim Harbaugh.
Wow.
We'll go get Marvin Harrison Jr.
Wow.
With the first and second picks.
And we'll get some football.
Child, you just wrote the script.
Wow.
I hope you wrote the script.
I hope for everybody you wrote the script.
I hope for Justin Fields you wrote the script.
Yeah.
Mike Dicka.
Remember that game?
2015?
His face was frozen.
Mike Dicka, Mike Dicka could do a meme promo.
Dude.
He's the goat.
He's the goat from like a smoky office somewhere.
With sunglasses.
Okay.
So then lastly, the Colts, they almost swept the thing.
I mean, we talked about the Titans.
The Colts almost got this thing done for the AFC.
South, but they just couldn't quite do it.
Big comeback. I'm not going to talk a lot about
this game. But Puka,
most receiving yards through four
games, all time.
Up there with, like,
it's just ahead of Cooper Cup in 21.
And then the 2012 Calvin Johnson year.
Both guys that Matthew Stafford has thrown to.
So Matthew Stafford is thrown to all these guys.
Nakua Matata!
It means no worries.
It means, no worries. Throw me the ball.
I was like, thank God it's not a Taylor Swift joke.
Yeah.
Yeah, no, it's good.
It's good to get one of those.
But the guys, I mean, like, the longer it goes, you're like, maybe he is this good.
Jonathan Jones, week one said with tongue and cheek, he said that Puka Nakua is the greatest draft steal of all time after week one.
Well, maybe you shouldn't be tongue in cheek.
Hey, what the fuck?
Well, also, you have to consider, like, for Puka, I'd hate for Cupp to come back and take some of his targets.
You know, like, how do they work Cup in and share the target?
load.
It seems like a guy that can play every wide receiver position.
Probably knows all of them too.
No,
that guy's tough too.
He got blasted yesterday.
I want to get to the uglies.
The uglies is what I'm calling.
Basically the way I'm going to do this thing,
guys behind the curtain.
There's a lot of shows that give you game by game by game.
I know some of you might like that,
but it's impossible for me to do.
I like,
I like work weaving in and out.
But there will be some games that are just ugly,
and we're going to put them in the back of the garage.
It could get ugly.
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
In here.
We might be able to play that going into, that's good.
Shout out to Bubba Sparks.
Bubba Sparks is cool.
So here's the ugliest, man.
Number one ugly game, and I'm ranking these by games that are actually fun to watch.
You've got to be Khalil Mack and the Chargers.
Not only did we get something that we're going to mention and mentions that's going to be spicy, but we got six sacks.
And, you know, for all the people, the great rushes that have played in this game,
only one has ever had seven in a game.
And his name with Derek Thomas, Goddress and Seoul.
the guy that like when people talk about him when when you're around my dad or some of these old guys that played like and deris thomas name comes up it's like reverence like you know you just feel the the air come out of the room and it's just like when they talk about walter peyton it's walter peyton it's Derek thomas is you know barry sanders guys like that there's like you should have seen it and calil mac to do this we we had him on a couple a month ago maybe and i was talking to him about
his five or six-sack game against Osweiler and the Broncos, of course, God's team.
And he broke Howie Long's record or tied it.
Heard of him.
Yeah, and it was just cool to hear his mindset in a game like that.
Do you know that it's going to be a game like that for you, that sort of thing?
Well, he's looking up in the third, fourth quarter, and he's like, I can break the record.
And he damn near did it on a couple occasions, but he got power from both sides.
he did some speed and I thought
as a rusher it's really hard
for me imagine. I can remember a few
games where you got two and
you know you end up with three
or you fall just short of three
Josh Allen made history yesterday
first got F3 sacks in London
I had a fingertip on number three against the
Jags a couple years ago. I could have came up
for five minutes yesterday since Chris Long
who the fuck is that? Oh yeah
the wash guy but like
Derek Thomas his record
Leal Mac chasing it and that last
sack going six sacks on a stutter speed.
It was his freakiest rush of the day.
At this age, this far removed from the Brock game,
everything that's going on in LA, he's a hero, man.
This is like heroic stuff.
They could not lose this game.
If they lost this game, after that fourth down,
two weeks in a row, Staley, crazy.
I mean, they were gonna fire him maybe.
The bye week next week is the by week next week?
Yep.
Buddy, I don't know how close he's been to getting ax the last two weeks.
They needed this game.
And Khalil Max's favorite month, yo.
October, Halloween's coming up.
You know, that's this.
Oh, yeah.
He hates Halloween.
We saw the, uh, the Tilly, the Tilleri hit.
Pagan Holiday.
Saw the Tillery hit on the sideline?
We save it for mentions.
Okay, okay, good, good.
Save it for mention.
It's just worth mentioning.
Oh, yeah.
The Denver, the Denver comeback.
Reed, um, it's,
so funny because like usually when we break down a Denver game I can't tell who won you know like
even in this situation I don't feel like you guys won but you won right we won but we didn't win
yeah because the can what did you see in the first half what did you see in the second half because
there were two different games well yeah there were two different games for sure but boy did just
and fields look like he was all world in that first half as a byproduct of that uh soft as swish cheese
Denver Broncos defense seven yeah it was ridiculous now the turning point is we all
know was losing the sleeves.
We had Sean Payton out there and he was like, fuck my
sleeves. He's like Sunday Tiger Woods
with no sleeves. That's just Sunday Tiger Woods thing.
Exactly. And as soon as he cut them off.
He's gone. You can see him on the
ground? Yeah. Yeah, that was great. They did a
tight shot on the sleeves. Sleeves are
gone. Just sitting there. Just sitting there.
But one on top of the other. You ever make
like wardrobe changes during the game because you just felt
weird whether it was an arm brace or
fucking something they had you
put on to. My arms brace always came off.
Get the fucking out of here, dude.
That's what Sean Payton did.
And I just, I want to say this, Kyle, I'm sure you're going to have a take on Justin Fields, but these are the type of games that keep you in it on him.
And I know it's Vanjoseph, I know it's the Broncos defense.
But again, the problem is not his ability to throw the football.
There's processing issues, okay, but those can be alleviated with good coaching and good scheme.
Like bad coverage?
My, yeah, and bad coverage can allow you to showcase your arm.
You know what I'm saying?
But the problem is like, hey, over my career,
I learned things that allowed me to process pre-snap better
and during the snap as a defensive lineman,
way different than being a quarterback
or an offensive lineman,
but it's undeniable that you can improve
on how the game slows.
You hear all the time games slowing down for him.
The game is not gonna slow down for him
if he doesn't get games like this
where he can actually make throws.
And I thought him making the throws,
whatever the issues are on his end,
they weren't there yesterday because Vance Joseph,
defense is so abhorrent.
He was confident with what he saw.
But he was confident.
He was confident with what he saw.
We heard he was going to cut it loose last week.
It didn't appear to be the case.
He really did cut it loose this week.
He cut it loose.
And the play that was really, you know, you can have all the touchdowns down the field,
spread the field.
That's awesome.
They did great in their own territory, middle of the field, enemy territory,
but when they get down in the red zone.
And Justin gets to scramble around a little bit.
And he could have score with his legs, I think,
but he made the smart decision.
He made the athletic.
move to jump, throw it behind him.
Red zone stuff was awesome. That is
what number 15 and red does
every week. That's what
the great quarterbacks do.
So it's not black
and white, this is wrong, this is right.
There are those plays to your point
that make you go, huh,
there's more than something there with
Justin Fields. What is the issue?
And after yesterday, there's no question in my mind, but with the game
plan in the second half, the way they
approached that lead,
It's the coaches.
Yeah.
And Kyle, the tragedy is you might never know
because they might play this thing out
and Justin just kind of,
I don't know if he gets the second act,
but the way they give these other fucking quarterback's second act.
Their first 15 was spectacular,
but then their last 40 was atrocious.
Well, okay.
And I don't know.
I looked at every throw he made.
And obviously he wants the,
that rushes on him quick on that naked.
on that blue action deal.
He's in his lap. He's in his chest.
Yeah, and I don't know what you do there.
You turn and trying to throw the ball.
I'm not that good at that coaching quarterback,
but like, yeah, dirted, but there was, like,
it was like, whoa, holy shit.
I'll tell you what, a penalty is better than a turnover.
Hellen he's better than a turnover.
Sacks better than turnover.
Anything is better than a turnover.
Yeah, and, you know, like, I can tell you're irritated
with Justin a little bit, but I think your coaches
are hitting down their legs every week.
I just.
They're coaching scared.
Yeah, I mean, like, I don't know what's going on there.
So I can't put it all on Justin.
Just like last week, I'm like,
No, Justin did what are you supposed to do?
I'm afraid to, I'm afraid to hop all the way off.
I was getting the step stool to hop off last week.
I think I'm just, I'm doing this.
I got some bumps and bruises because I'm like just getting dragged along the ground
holding on to the fucking hub cap.
His first half was just as good as to his first half.
Statistically against Denver, it was.
Which is wild.
It was almost better.
I think it was better.
His only miss was that Hail Mary.
I think it was better.
Yeah, he had three touchdowns.
He had fucking all that, but they're just, you know.
It was like Twilight Zone.
Yeah.
You know, I tweeted out early in the game,
we should play the Broncos every week.
But that would be pretty painful.
Two hours later, old takes me with a screenshot,
and I'm getting killed in the mentions.
Yeah.
I love it.
But I said, yes, I said that.
And then parentheses, I said,
but I did pick the Broncos.
That's sad.
It's about hedging.
That's macab.
Kyle, that's...
All right, San Francisco.
I'm not going to say much about San Francisco,
but they just took care of business.
Christian McCaffrey hurtling guys.
Kishman Krafri.
Christian McCrafty.
Kratty.
He's Krav.
Krat.
This guy, dude.
Now I'm doing flag football
with the kids.
There's a bunch of kids that a couple years ago
I would have said, hey, maybe play a different position.
You know, running back might be.
not for you.
And then Christian McCaffrey comes out there.
Great White Hope, baby.
And he's giving his little kids,
you know, like.
No love for Mike Allstott.
But anyways,
four touchdowns.
And like,
Nolan was talking about this.
The usage is a little much,
maybe early in the season.
Yeah.
Considering his,
yeah,
his history,
but they're riding him like Secretariat.
And I looked up and just at one point,
because you're not watching this game,
I'll watch it in a day or two.
Maybe fans you can tell me what happened.
I got to watch 17 of them or 16, however the fuck many games.
This is one I haven't watched yet on end zone.
I'm looking up like the third quarter.
I'm like, what's been going on in this game?
Top Left TV.
2116 or something.
And Gannon's like strutting around looking cool as shit with his sunglasses on,
this tight t-shirt.
Everybody made fun of them.
Pugh-Pew, shots verticals.
People had their, yeah, yeah, you're the big guy, the big guard.
He's like, yeah, we're going for two.
Takes his playbook, he's walking back.
He just looks, he looks like he fucking head coached, dude.
He's out there head coaching.
And he's got these guys out there playing, dude.
They're playing with everybody.
I like Josh Dobbs.
He delivered a couple strikes to a rookie receiver.
He had his first touchdown yesterday.
And he hit him again over the middle.
He hit him in the corner of the end zone.
Then he hit him in the middle.
I mean, that's like, oh, I like you.
They finally got his jersey.
I'm going to keep throwing to you.
They finally got his jersey from the first.
Got his jersey from the pro shop.
What a great video that was, too.
He's a likable dude.
Way to hold them.
I love dogs.
Way to hold him accountable.
I'm a rental.
I'm not going to take this shit.
You know, like fucking get my jersey going.
Minnesota.
Plenty of people wish they had Josh Jobs right now.
Minnesota.
Thank you for taking care of business, Minnesota, on a personal note.
The Panthers ran the ball 30 times.
Just couldn't do it.
Like, this is not a good setup.
You know, it's just not a good setup for Bryce.
I thought there were better moments.
Like I saw some moments watching this game,
but the offense still as a whole has got a lot of work to do.
And, you know, Minnesota, I think, picking up their first win, right?
Yep.
So that underwin total is nice and safe, safe and sound.
I'm not going to, what are we, 30 seconds on this game?
22.
We're knee-deep in the uglies.
Okay?
Let's just get to this.
We're bumping uglies out of here.
We're bumping uglies in the back.
I'm going to bump this ugly and get to the next one, the hangar game.
I call this the hanger game because it's a game it might as well have been played in a hangar.
Honestly, in New Orleans, sometimes it looks like the game is being played in the hangar.
The lighting in there, it's kind of hard to watch.
These Saints and Bucks games, they used to be for a hiccup.
I feel like they were Breeze and Brady.
And then it was like Brady and James, I feel like, and nobody scores.
It's like actually, there was a lot of scoring yesterday because,
Baker's out there strutting around.
There's nobody with a more confident walk right now
than Baker Mayfield.
Just a unit out there.
Just a hoss walking around.
He had three tuds and a pick.
He looked pretty good.
And Canal's doing a good job.
Canales is doing a good job.
He had seven different receivers.
But the real story for me is
how long are we going to sit here talking about
and I'm looking at you, Falcons.
I'm looking at you.
Again, it's not my cross to bear.
I'm looking at you.
make the change look around the division
new orleans sputtering
can't even beat the bucks
bucks might make the fucking playoffs dude
to my chagrin
because I put on these stupid long odds
oh they're not gonna make the playoffs
well fuck me the nmc south sucks
I didn't get the memo how bad this is gonna be
and car michael
everybody's talking about coordinators everybody's talking about
Canada everybody's talking about getsy
everybody's talking about like teams not taking the next
step. This team here has quietly not taking the next step offensively in years, I feel like.
And if you're going to transition out of the breeze era, you got to do something new here
because it's not working. Like, New Orleans passing game, predictable. Like, just easy to figure,
you look at their heat, their heat chart after the game. The middle of the field, it's like it's not
an option. Um, and when, you know, yeah. And, and if they don't go there, Camara's back. They don't
get the run game going. He accounts for like 45% of their offense. 10 straight games without 21
points for the Saints. So I just, Ronald Curry, I know is down there I read and he called some
plays and then he's a painful name to bring up for Virginia fans. Because if you don't, do you know
this history? UNC. So he was at UNC. He was this great quarterback. And Ronald Curry committed to
Virginia. Like a biscuit type. Yeah. With more hype coming out. Ronald Curry committed to Virginia.
Vic was gonna come to Virginia and cuz Curry committed he went to tech musical chairs game
ends with Ronald Curry going down to UNC D commit from Virginia so around here
the rest is not real popular got a lot of respect for the guy evidently a good coach has been
calling some plays down there and then you know like somebody said gruden out of the shadows
could be interesting his car is back there loundering man as bad as their relationship
seemed at times.
Maybe you could bring him in as a consultant,
you know,
or something like that.
But they got Olavé,
they got Michael Thomas,
they got Chihid,
they got Camara,
they got Foster Morrow,
Joanne Johnson.
Like,
why are you scoring 10 points a game?
Make it happen,
Captain.
Just make it happen.
And for the Atlanta Falcons,
look around, man.
Look around.
You're like one dude away.
Last thing I'll say on Ritter,
third rounder,
I don't go to the wall for a third rounder.
That's just the way it is in the NFL,
a quarterback,
especially on a team,
where you're ready to win right now.
And that's the calculus.
I've been around third round position players
who don't have the benefit of the doubt.
Exactly.
I saw a guy before the old CBA,
actually, which makes it even worse,
third rounder get cut in camp.
Because he just wasn't good.
Walk away with 10 mil.
On the Rams.
Yeah.
So if the Rams can cut a third rounder,
I'm not saying cut Desmer Ritter.
I think, I don't think he's a bad, bad player.
Mouth it to me.
I said, I don't remember his name.
All right, but like,
I don't.
I was a big Rams fan at that time.
There's by a reason.
So he was so lazy, too.
The guy would just like walk around on the field.
Now, Ritter's not a bad guy.
He's not lazy now.
You did see him and Mack Hollins yesterday.
Oh, buddy.
He went to give Mack a high five and Mac's not that kind of guy.
I don't know Mac at all.
Nicest person.
Because I don't know him.
We used to play all these stupid games in the locker.
But I was like that's fucked on.
Me, Mac, Nate Sudfeld.
But you had to figure if Max's mad at you.
Then you've done something wrong.
Then you've done something wrong.
And I don't mean like you, you,
fucked him over. It's just like you're just not
doing the things you're supposed to do out there. You're not that
guy, pal. And all I'm saying is, you just
owe it to your team to get a second look.
That doesn't mean Ritter will never play
again. Just fucking ride the hot hand. And right now, he's not
the hot hand because look around division. Same thing. Like
in Chicago, I mean, you're dealing with a top pick
with Justin Fields, but people were asking for Tyler
Badgett. I mean, they moved him up to second string
quarterback. And people were saying, if it doesn't happen against
the Broncos, then we're going to see Badgett next week.
And Justin Fields goes out and shows what he
can do. Now the difference there is you've invested
a one in this guy. He's the future. Versa
three of your franchise. And he
has a lot of top-on skills. But similar
in that Ritter doesn't have. Question marks.
I don't want to compare
Joseph. No, I'm not. I'm comparing the situation.
I'm comparing fan bases just bitching about
their quarterback. Yeah, no question. Fans get emotional
about quarterbacks.
The projection is that we have
something out for the guys like you who
has like a Desmond Ritter poster on the wall. No, we want to see good
football. I'm just breaking down 32. We want to
see all the games come down to a two-minute drive.
Okay. All right. Too much, Desmond Ritter. All right. Awards, mentions, whatever you want to call them. But first,

I don't eat 100, but Little Caesar's pizza is great, and I would accept that at any time.
I love Little Caesars.
We've been crushing them.
I stay away from the nitrates, Kyle.
You know, pepperoni?
I don't know.
That's what goes in cured meats?
Yeah.
You're not worried about nitrate.
More guantale guy.
Okay.
What's that?
Which is pork as well.
Different cut.
Stock provisions.
Why don't we split a pie this with you with me?
I'm down.
All right, cool.
You got to come over my house.
I'd love to.
Great.
Love to.
Okay, mentions.
Maybe after the Ninja interview later.
Kyle, unfortunately, I have to get in a car and drive to Philadelphia.
I'm just promoing.
I'm promo.
Which you can catch on the CW. 87 Central inside the NFL.
Okay.
Probably be talking about a lot of the same shit, but just more buttoned up.
So just.
Ryan Clark was saying that Taylor Swift seems like a likable dude girl.
I was like, Ryan.
Well, like, she's a guy.
No, he was like, yeah.
She seems cool.
Yeah, she is cool.
I think she's cool.
Me too.
But I was like, I wanted to be like, Ryan.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I just wanted to see Blake.
Okay, she seems annoying F.
Who?
T. Swive.
Okay, chill out.
Next.
Why?
She just does.
Yeah.
That picture of them at the bar and she just like, she's like all over Kelsey.
He's like standing there.
The way she's standing with her.
She's like with her arm around his neck.
She just seems like a little, I don't know.
You know, like.
Because I'm not, I'm not.
I love him.
I'm not buying into it.
I like it when my wife jumps up and grabs it.
But look,
but also too on the stream last night,
if you guys were paying attention,
every time they screened to her,
even when nothing was happened,
she was like,
yeah,
yeah,
you guys didn't realize that.
Did you see the London game?
She made $3 billion this summer.
I would be going, yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's all, that's, yeah.
That's all.
Should we buy this stadium?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Jackman, Reynolds,
and Swift.
So,
and she got a movie coming out.
not in a couple weeks.
Yeah, I know.
Handback.
I got a question.
I tried to tell you that.
No, no, don't do that to me.
Handbag policy.
Last week was like, this seems like a great relationship.
I was like,
we think of this movie.
Everyone called me crazy because they think it's,
they think it's such an odd thing to think
that someone that famous
would still be looking for clout in some way.
Celebrities do, because they always want to make more money.
But everyone online is saying that this celebrity wouldn't
because she's so big.
I think it's possible that they're really smitten.
I think Travis Kelsey's not giving out friendship bracelets
or just anybody.
And maybe she's using him, you know,
but he's happy, you know?
No, I think it's mutually biddle official for both of them.
Mutually, for sure.
That shit mutual is full.
Okay, it is mutual.
All right.
Best flights.
Best, best flight.
Best flight.
Kyle, I'm going with the bucks.
Short flight.
I don't know how long a flight from New Orleans to Tampa Bay is.
If you know Florida geography, it's on the Gulf side.
And that's going to be a short flight
because New Orleans is way down there in the corner of the boot.
You get a win in a 1 p.m.
You get out of there.
You've been kicking their ass.
Mike Evans is just chilling.
He's like, yeah, you know, any fights today.
We're number one in division a month in.
They're in Ebor City by 7 o'clock.
Best flight, Atlanta Falcons.
Wait a second.
Hold on a second.
They get to go back to the United States.
Yeah.
That's great. Don't you just love when you touch down?
I just kiss that ground.
Right by the Cinnabon.
You know, already kiss it.
I just get on my hands and knees by the Cinebond and I'm like,
Merca!
I cut a promo in front of the fucking, the Hudson News.
And I just told the entire city of London how much better our country is when I came back.
Well, if you're going to do a stinker, do it at 9.30.
Yes, get it out of the way.
Do it at 9.30 in the morning.
People were the, was the Ryder Cup on at the time?
that point. It was mid, mid cup. Yes, that's a good time.
Medio Copa. Do it during the Rider Cup. All right. Uh,
worst flight. Steelers. You said it. Yeah, Steelers. Back to back. I mean, just
brutal, man. I mean, just, I don't know what's going on there. It has to be rough on the
way home. That's a long flight. Like, it's longer than you think. Houston's way down there.
Way down there. Yeah. Look at a map of Texas. Kind of a geography segment.
Uh, Beville Conway.
I'm going to be interested to hear we, this is for the most beautiful scene in football.
The most beautiful scene in football.
It's got to be the all red Houston Texans jerseys against beautiful.
The classic Steelers jerseys.
I just, and there's something about a team with a great quarterback.
And they've got it.
They have it, and it looks good.
We like C.J. Strauss.
It looks good.
So, uh, I think the most beautiful scene in football might have been, um, I thought Notre Dame
looked really cool in
Durham even though you were like, where are they
playing? Are they playing in a hangar? Oh yeah, there was game
day there today. But I
loved the Christmas setup
we had last night, Sunday night football.
Red and Green. Yeah, Christmas.
Yeah. I forgot to mention
this. There was at the LSU
Old Miss game. Oh, beautiful.
That's usually a shoe in. But it gets even
better than this because when they went to rush
the field, obviously we saw a P.O.
We saw a P.O.V. of a fan who got hit by a LSU
player. And he was like, I got that on film.
But there was also a video of a stadium security guard in the yellow shirt trying to stop people that were rushing the crowd.
He just threw his shoulder to everybody.
He was trying to hit people with his shoulders and he finally got a girl in his zip code.
And he decleaded her.
He decleaded the girl.
Just some big fat guy.
Yeah.
He looked like he was going for his tryout.
He was going for his tryout or maybe Dillard or something.
We didn't talk about that.
Dillard's still struggling in Tennessee.
They got to get that thing short up.
But also, yeah, like that old Miss fan,
classic frat boy running up to tell a bigger.
Fuck LSU.
Fuck you.
Fuck you.
I'm saying to him.
And the guy's like, I love the POV of the video because you can see him holding the phone.
And then for a split second, you see the LSU guy and he's like,
yeah, you get his face.
Yeah.
He's like, boof.
And, you know, people thought he was going to get a lawsuit out of that.
Most, mostly people are like, yeah, play stupid games, win stupid prize.
Which guy?
I mean, I think the fan thinks he's going to get.
But I'm sure the player would also argue that in my opinion,
the player is the one who fans have to realize once they jump onto a field,
you're technically trespassing.
And they don't understand that.
And that's the issue.
They think, oh, no, my team won, though.
Like, I get to rush the field.
That's the rule.
It's not the rules.
I'm getting somebody.
Jump into a lion's king like cage at the zoo.
They think a lion is going to be all.
Lions kink.
What is a lion's king?
A larynge
Except that the zoo
Lions aren't very well fed
which is interesting
so they're really hungry
and then they also are not as big and scary
as some of the ones out in the
Why is it that way?
I feel like the ones in the zoo
might get filet mignon
But the bottom line is
these lions are all jacked up
dude there's some big jokers out there
that can declet you
and put you in a little
and emotional after a game too
King of the Jungle
Tigers are actually the King of the Jungle
So that's why I thought that
Everybody says lying king of the jungle
Tigers king of the jungle.
Lions don't live in jungles.
It's funny because...
Interesting.
I don't know.
There's a jungle.
All right.
Oh, this is where it gets good.
Hollow man.
There are so many.
Do you want to start with yours?
Yeah, I paid the pay-per-view money for YouTube TV
to take a look at the old Marshawn Latimore
and Mike Evans brawl that was guaranteed to happen again
for the fourth straight matchup.
And it just didn't.
Yeah.
These guys are maybe getting less ornery.
in their older age.
I love the Mike Evans,
Marshawn-Ladamore trilogy that we've seen.
I looked for the word that follows trilogy.
It's a quadripartite.
No way.
That's what they said on Google.
That's why I never say that in boxing.
Because it sounds stupid.
Like the fourth time it's right.
It sounds stupid.
Yeah.
The Hollow Man is me for assuming that they're going to just fight all the time.
So you were just watching that stupid game trying to see a fight.
I just want to see a fight.
Every time the bucks are on offense, I switched to it.
Oh, that's bad.
Probably just tell them that you'll, you'll pay some of the fines.
They probably got tired of getting fine, man.
Well, speaking of fights, there was more fights in the Chargers Raiders game.
Hillary, bro, that hit was late.
And I don't know.
I want to give him the benefit of the doubt because sometimes you're so focused on getting that guy down.
Bang, bang, you want to hit his hip.
That you don't know if he's inbounds or out of bounds,
but I think in this situation it was kind of like.
Predetermined predator missile.
And also, and also, I can tell when you're not well-liked while you're getting beat up by your old team.
And that was one of those situations.
He was in there in the mosh pit, bro.
And I know people with Chargers fans don't love him.
But he was in the middle.
And guys were like, oh, yeah, we're beating him up.
He was getting ragged all by the feeling that.
Bro, he's lucky he was on like the right side and ended up getting spit out of that car wash.
But they really didn't like him.
And, you know, then he's walking out of the stadium.
I'm like, fuck you.
Like, the guy totally blew his top.
So probably a hollow man.
He's not getting suspended, but still a hollow man.
Rodney, Harrison, Hollow Man.
I have a lot of respect for Rodney Harrison,
but after the game, I just believe in being positive.
I mean, invariably, I get negative sometimes,
but if I was at that desk,
I wouldn't be trying to lead Chris Jones into shitting on Zach Wilson
after he plays the best game of his career.
I must have shut it off.
I shut it off right after this happened.
It was uncomfy.
Can you tell me the run there?
Somebody sent me Rodney Harrison interviewing Chris Jones
at the podium afterwards.
Chris Jones came out.
by the way, his voice never ceases to amaze me.
Love Chris Jones.
He's amazing.
You know.
Yeah, you know.
So Chris Jones is out there talking to Rodney Harrison.
Rodney Harrison's like, hey man, when you're watching the tape, don't you think like not real good?
And Chris Jones is like, actually, I think he's gotten a lot better and I think he's great.
And then I was like, that's bad, but not bad.
What's all the fuss about?
And then Rodney just takes another pass at it and another pass.
And he was like, come on, man, be honest, he sucks.
Like, it was like, he said he was garbage.
He threw garbage out there.
And Chris Jones said,
Zach Wilson is special.
You just have to give the guy time.
And shout out to him for being positive.
He just kept killing him with kindness.
I love Chris Jones.
No, I mean, but that's great.
Like, Hollow Man to, you know, for Rodney.
And that's the NFL fraternity showing through.
That's a guy who understands what Zach is going through,
although he's never been in his shoes.
It's like 50-50.
We're all on the league, bro.
We're on the league.
Yeah.
Have some perspective.
Yeah.
And we, and oftentimes in this show, we fuck up.
Players fuck up.
But, you know, generally, I've never tried to lead somebody into like, especially on
live TV for negative questions.
And I think Roddy is a beast, dude.
Roddy was like, was a legend in New England and a super cool guy, it seems like.
But I just didn't get that one.
It's a holloman for me.
And I've shit on Zach Wilson.
Journalism's hard.
I've shit on Zach Wilson, but, but you don't try to bring somebody else into that.
It's the clicks, man.
Anyways.
It's the clicks.
Also, Al Michaels on Thursday night, I want to go way back.
Great game, Lions, man.
I was going to say, who played on Thursday?
I forget.
It feels like 10 years ago.
Lions took care of business.
That game, by the way, was almost like one of these games where you forget, the lions are good enough now that you forget that this is a big deal to them to win in Lambo.
And it felt like a huge deal.
Buddy, that's it.
And they took care of business.
Okay.
But during the game, they're showing a graphic of its, um, it's, um, you know,
It's Dan Campbell and Jared Goff and they're on a stepbrothers t-shirt basically with the sweater vest and the whole thing and they go back to the booth and Al Michaels is like and it looks like one of those high school pictures with Jared Goff and and Dan Campbell.
I'm like, Al, you've never seen stepbrothers.
Incredible.
What are we doing here?
Did you catch the, and I love Fitzpatrick and I know that Bose got to talk to him later.
I've said things in the media that has
I've got messages from players and stuff
Jared Goff goes to the
goes to the desk and he's like not bad for
what did he say? I don't know
God what was the quote he said
I had the under so after the game
he essentially got called you know like
like a game manager
poor man something that was the perfect
and it's too I'd just look at he say it to
Jared Goff Fitzpatrick
he said it to Fitzpatrick
So Jared Gough, he said it earlier in the week,
referencing Jared Gough's style of play.
Jared Gough goes to the desk,
and he pretty much calls him out they had a good laugh,
but it was really just two extremely large brains.
I love that.
I love that.
I heard what you said.
And also, I did hear that.
Ger Gough, we said it coming to the game.
You know, he's outside the top 32 when pressured in success rate.
And then, you know, when he's not pressured, he lights out.
And he thought going on the road, that front, the whole thing,
he really made some big boy throws.
That game was his best game all season, I felt like.
You know, so good for him.
They're built with a trench bully mentality.
The last holland, and I almost don't want to get you going,
but Chase Claypool, man, like, just a disaster.
He who shall not be named.
Yeah, so we don't need to talk about it.
Fly on the wall.
I think I was the last guy for the Chicago Bears told not to come to the game.
So he just took the mantle.
I'm serious.
I'm glad it's not me anymore.
I'm serious.
Thank you, Chase Claypool.
They were like, how do that go?
How did that go?
made the joke last week that I couldn't get in the building with the
keypad. That's because they said don't come to the building.
Yeah. Yeah. Threat detected.
Hey, you are a scary threat.
Yeah. I'm not a nice guy. He is a nice guy. He is a nice guy. I can attack.
Hey, deactivate his car. Don't Rodney Harrison me right now with Kyle.
Deactivate his car. All right. So fly on the wall. I want to go Chargers PR team because
I know they were crafting the fucking statement during that fourth down situation. They just,
well, they crafted last week.
It's in the draft.
It's in the drafts.
I know they have it.
I just want to know what it reads.
And then STL Memorial,
do you have Fly on the Wall copy?
Yeah, I do.
Fly on the Wall will be Ryan Poles
and Jeff King,
the director of scouting.
You know,
they kept cutting to them
during the Bears game yesterday.
What we told?
In the booth.
And in the first half,
they were just like elated.
In my opinion,
and I haven't heard from these guys,
but I don't think that they think
Justin Fields is a guy.
And they know that.
I think that they know that in the building.
So yesterday,
you see Justin Fields
to go out,
torching the defense, they're ecstatic,
and then the second half.
I'd love to have been sitting there,
listening to what they had to say to one another.
You can't help but be honest.
You know, you're all human.
So in that position,
they're going to be talking about things that they see.
And what are they talking about?
Eber Flutes, are they talking about fields?
Are they talking about...
Here's...
Here's a hot tip for Ryan Poles
and, you know, whoever the fuck else you said, Kyle.
When you're up multiple scores
against the worst defense in the league,
You think you could maybe figure out how to win that game?
Like as a team?
Okay?
Like I know Justin Fields has taken some lumps.
He should.
But not yesterday.
Come on.
Yeah, exactly.
So if they're up there thinking like, oh, we're proving right based on the second half,
no, your team sucks.
And the coaching staff's not doing a good job.
Okay, STL Memorial.
It's a bit of a stretch.
But I was watching Duke, Notre Dame.
And Riley Leonard looks like a really good quarterback,
but he left the game on.
crutches. I don't know what the injury ended up being. He's the Duke quarterback. High ankle,
which sucks, but could be worse. Could be much worse. Happy to see that. Guy would refuse to get the
cart. Like, they had to bring crutches out for him. And I legitimately believe he's that kind of guy
because during the game, they're panning to his mom. Seems like a lovely lady. And she has this
arm, this wristband on that he also has on. And they pan in. They're like, and this is her,
you suck wristband. And I'm like, hey, you're going to have to explain this one. He has one, too.
And I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa.
And they're like, Riley Leonard likes to stay humble.
People have been praising him too much.
So he asked his mom to keep him humble.
So she got these you suck wristbands made.
And of course, Waylon's watching the game with me.
And he's like, I don't understand.
And I'm like trying to change the subject because I'm like, yeah, it's hard to explain
to a kid how that motivation might work.
Yeah.
And then I'm like, you know, he's going to be playing on Sunday.
Very next play fumbles a fucking ball and then leaves on crutches.
So I kind of jinxed him.
but I think he's a pretty good player.
And I think his mom has got the right idea.
You've got to be mean to your kids sometimes.
That's good.
Yeah.
And she does not have the X app.
Not on Twitter like a lot of these moms.
Yeah, I don't think so.
I don't think so.
You got anything for STL Memorial?
STL Memorial.
I mean, got to be Justin Field yesterday.
Nobody saw.
In a loss.
And some people saw a lot of highlights.
But what they haven't seen is what it's taken the last 13 games.
to get in position to win a game you get in position to win a game against an inferior opponent in my
opinion and you lose almost been a calendar year Kyle and then last 335 four touchdowns one interception
132.7 rating yeah dude that should be enough to win you're eating dubs lastly best seat in the house
that's donna kelsey i'm just gonna rename the best seat in the house award to donna kelsey
she's hanging out with the state farm guy up there we're getting on a quick flight
popping over to new york hanging out with a whole box of people and she's got the oh
it's this guy oh hey it's that oh hey i like i likened her to experientially not like in a forest gump way
but like experientially she's like forest gump and that many amazing things like you know you go through
forest gump's life he's like he's everywhere she's been everywhere and then somebody's tagging me
in like a new heights comment section she's like ha ha i loved when chris called your mom
forest gump i'm like that's a little boiled down yeah you know i what i mean is dana is is doing
And last night it just continued.
I think she's always got the best seat in the house.
And she seems cool about it.
She's never talking somebody's fucking ear off.
She's never bothering Taylor Swift.
He's just chill.
People want to hang out with Donna Kelsey.
And the cool that you saw last night, Taylor went up to her.
You just put her arm around her and was point stuff.
Oh, yeah, you see that?
Oh, hey, let me introduce you.
This is cool.
And Donna's like, yeah, hey, I love it, dude.
I fucking love it.
Best seat in the house, Anna Rogers.
Yeah.
Period.
He's walking out there.
Looks amazing.
He's supposed to be...
It's great.
Should be in the walking...
Hey, I saw him put the crutches in his arm's hip.
He threw a ball.
Yeah.
The Google doctors, the Google doctors, the Google Online Doctor says his injury at least six weeks in a boot.
Two and a half weeks away, he's in an air cast walking with sneakers on.
Why do we assume that that's good, though?
You know, like, that's the whole thing.
It's like...
What people don't understand is when you're injured, any opportunity you have to get out of the house,
get out of your normal routine, you do it.
But it's also a work day.
So for Aaron Rogers, being up on his feet, not elevating that Achilles.
Oh, that becomes a real thing.
Moving around, he's going to be sore tomorrow.
That becomes a real thing.
No, honestly, after a surgery, you're in that boot.
Yeah.
It's not just like go walk around.
Motion is lotion.
The, like, standing up kills you.
All the blood's coming down in that thing.
So anyways, you know what I mean, Kyle?
And then we've got the Little Caesar's Monday Night Football preview after our game ball,
which is obviously going to Khalil Mack.
We loved him up earlier.
We loved the guy, came out there.
Had a whole year worth of work
for a good delinement in the NFL in one day.
There's 12 balls, right?
For six sacks?
Yeah, you're right.
You're right.
That's funny, mate.
I was working on one of those earlier
when I heard six sacks and I couldn't get it done.
You couldn't quite get it over the pilot.
Start the goal line there?
I didn't want to extend the ball.
Yeah.
Game ball, Josh Allen, 84% completion, 320 yards, 4 touchdown, 0 interceptions, 158.3 passer rate.
I don't know what it goes up to.
That's got to be damn mere perfect.
Yeah.
And in a game where we knew it was perfect.
But in a game, yeah, in a game where we knew that there was going to be explosive firepower on offense.
Josh Allen just shows.
Like the game of his life.
Superior weapon.
Because of the cleanliness of that explosive.
He just cleaned up after him.
He had a big party cleaned up after himself.
And those are three and one.
Like Taylor Swift in the suite.
Yeah, that's just cleaning up.
I hope she picks up her trash.
I think that's a big, big, uh, indication of your character.
You know, you clean up after yourself in the suite.
Well, everyone will know.
I'll need your pinocrigio on the, because MetLife is back on the stage again tonight
from Monday night.
That's dynamite, uh, intro into our little Caesars Monday night.
preview and I just want to say this.
I have a feeling
that tonight's going to be a good night
if you're a Giants,
I think the Giants are going to win tonight.
Tonight's going to be.
It's just the vibe I have.
There were vibes in the building last night
and they couldn't capitalize.
No, I think the Giants figure it out
tonight, get a little bit better,
even without Sequan.
I don't think anybody's going to be on them.
Maybe what's making me think this is
the line is like one and a half.
You're telling me, as you know, home team gets a couple points.
You're telling me that Seattle Seahawks are only a point and a half better at a neutral site.
I got Seattle and the over.
Giant.
Got Seattle on the over.
I probably say right now I'm not going to bet it, but I bet you what I ended up doing is bet the Giants.
I'm not betting.
I'm just saying it.
Yeah.
The total is 47.
Any time defensive touchdown.
That's what I'm going to bet tonight.
Jaron Reed, a sack tonight.
Ooh
I'm just gonna make that
Is that a prop
American psycho face
Every time you guys
Is that a prop Chris
Jaron Reed, Zach?
Yeah,
That is a prop bit
Yeah,
I hope
Yeah
Yeah
We'll end it on Fax's
Viral Moment Fax
I'm not doing shit today
Oh yeah
Isn't that amazing
It's great
Then he walks out of
Taylor Swift's fucking house
Downplay it
Yeah you can't
You can't talk stuff
into existence like that.
It was a funny joke, but six for 60,
that's a good day at the ballpark for a lot of people.
I'm sure they did some things to take him away.
How did he find a way to make fun of Travis?
Not when your superstar girlfriend who's taking up all the sunshine.
That's embarrassing, bro.
You ain't score.
Your quarterback throws two.
I went out,
I went out with your quarterback's wife.
I am embarrassed for Travis Kelsey.
I went out with your quarterback's wife the night before to give her some publicity.
And you guys go out there and perform like that.
Two interceptions.
Patrick Mahome, you almost lost to Zach Wilson.
Yikes, man.
Did you see that?
There were four times where Taylor asked Brittany Mahomes,
hey, why isn't Patrick throwing it to Travis in the other team?
Did they read lips on that?
Not actually.
Come on.
Man.
It was a clown shot.
Maybe sneaky theory here.
Patrick's secretly a huge Shifty and was nervous that she was there.
And after the game,
maybe he's like,
like Travis, she can't be out there.
There's nobody happier about Taylor Swift's presence in the Chiefs football season
than Patrick.
It's me.
Genuine, like when he was like, oh, there she is.
Thank God.
Taylor Swift, I'm the problem.
It's me.
He had planted his flag on this one watching the game yesterday.
He's just, he's just loaded up.
I can't wait to just press this out.
I'm just saying, you got to know, you got to know what comes with it.
They're both going to buy into it.
I'm pulling the fire alarm in this show.
Great job, guys.
Thanks to everyone for watching.
Everybody have a great week.
Thanks for watching.
Go do an experiment where you go tell five people about our show.
Yeah.
Oh, nice.
Hey, you know those things on the internet?
If you don't tell five people, you're going to die in a fire.
Like next week, if you don't reshare this, you know,
the five of your friends, you're going to have terrible luck the rest of your life.
If you don't tell five people about this show, your team.
Like walking under a ladder.
Yep, it's like walking under a ladder.
You're fucked.
Breaking the mirror.
Yeah.
Thank you guys.
See you next week.
Come on, Mitch.
