The crowd is cheery. East Rutherford, New Jersey. They have a ski thing there at that mall outside that stadium. You know that? You can ski right there next to the stadium. Yeah, it's skiing. Artificial skiing. I'm not into that.

It's usually dark when I'm driving to Teterboro. Who goes to East Rutherford to ski, dude? Yeah. Don't you have some fucking Poconos up there somewhere? Yeah, we got the cat skills, et cetera. Hey, big markets win today, obviously. G-Men, Jets, Chicago. Looked fun, right?

But it's all about the G-Men and the Jets. That was the big story of the day. Everyone was watching those games. And they watched the NFC West games, you know, late. We'll talk to Mike Sando about those big games out West, Seahawks, Niners. We'll talk about Rams, Cardinals. A lot to talk about today. A lot of shitty games, too.

Let me say this. A lot of crappy games today. We'll hit those. One good one. Yeah. Sunday night Bucks Brady Bill

yeah had you heard about it you'll hear more about it in just a moment Hey layup line We're gonna go with Death Row It's a Chris Stapleton cut That was not played At the BB&T

Pavilion Friday night But that's about the only complaint I had Seeing Chris Stapleton Other than some other stuff But it had nothing to do with Chris Stapleton Chris Stapleton Chris Stapleton is a god, bro. He's just, he's got a Rick James aura.

You know that? Like how they said, Charlie Murphy said, Rick James had an aura. He just was like one of the few famous people here. I could see Chris Stapleton's aura. Me and Cowboy Reed saw it right there. Reid, you saw it? Indeed, I did.

Quite an aura he had. From like 200 yards away this motherfucker had an aura. So can't wait to talk about that concert in Camden, New Jersey. my trip to Philly, but first, we got the main event, Sunday night. My guess was 11 seconds of embrace with like a repeated pat on the back and like some kind words, very close, close talking in Tom's ear. I thought that Bill would tell him like everything was okay. Nothing of the sort, right?

Nothing of the sort. Tom Brady's my hollow man because Bill went in for the hug and then Bill, turned and you can see in the close-up, the slow-mo close-up, that Tom is beginning to talk. Yeah. He's beginning to start a sentence. However, Chris. Yeah. 12.40 a.m. time of tape.

Wait, he's my hollow man too. Okay. Yeah. Can we share him? Yeah. Okay, great, because there's nobody else. I mean, we waited all day to see them hug and. Jeff Darlington at 1231 a.m. has tweeted. Bill Belichick has now been in the Bucks locker room for 20 minutes. talking in a private area with Tom Brady.

Belichick entered on his own without anyone else around him in tweet. Yo. Don't you love that? Yeah, dude. I think that's sick. I mean, but that's the way it should be. When I played Tom Brady in London,

well, I got the Tom Brady experience, which I blacked it out. We got our asses kicked. But after the game, you know, shook his hand because I was like, you never know when you're going to meet the goat again. and he was like, you're a great player.

You know, like, I was like, you're a fucking liar. You barely know who I am, dude. Hey, 91, get healthy. Maybe we'll see you out there next time. So I was just praying he wasn't telling just anybody. You're a great player tonight on his hot mic. The only genuine reaction it looked like was to Judon. It was like, wow.

Yeah, like, holy shit, man. You were all over the field. Fairly disruptive. And, you know, people were raving about Junon. And I hadn't watched the end zone tape on him. And I watched a little bit. And I thought honestly, like he wasn't as disruptive on first and second down prior to this game as I had heard. Now, tonight, he looked like he was all over the field all night long.

But we're talking about the handshakes, the most important part. On brand for Bill. Can Bill come out a winner in this one? Yes, he is the winner. He's the winner to me. Like, he played a rainy, low-scoring ball game with Mack Jones starting at quarterback. And he hung with and damn near beat, save for a. kicked the dointh right there almost snuck in at the end of the game there folk from the logo

which i thought was a questionable call i i would have i would have been a little more conservative on third down knowing i'm in four down territory tried to grab another yeah 10 yards bill damn near pulled it out yeah you know look at how bare the cupboard is compared to what what tom's working with over there and don't tell me hey he didn't have gronk like that's not not it's a game changer but it's not anything that should account for that close of a ballgame i think they did a terrific job i think tom was off i think he was a little bit off and that's okay it was raining cats and dogs and uh vintage new england weather you know that shot up there of uh the lights that they love to show up there and it's just like torrential it really is some thick rain that

falls there right off the ocean there yeah Balls were sailing on Tom early. And late. Mac Jones looked really good. He was in control, taken what the defense gave him. That's all he was going to do. That was it.

And, you know, Tom missed a couple balls. He missed a ball to AB. I couldn't tell if it was a miss or if AB didn't track it properly. But he catches that ball. Presumably they get the two-point conversion. I mean, I'm covering and we're good, you know, and the bucks are rolling. But he misses that throw.

and then AB drops another ball late. So they missed a few opportunities. They seem to be just off a little bit. A.B. calls God. We were talking. Call blocked. Bill is going to take away something, took away Chris Godwin by and large.

Yeah, I didn't know who it would be. Call Godwin. Yeah. Brady got it to him there for a little bit of a stretch, right when you arrived from Philly. Yeah, yeah, yep, yep, yep. Richard Sherman, my friend, Richard Sherman was targeted.

Targeted. A lot. And a number five. And that's my guy, but I am not a fan of the five. Mac Jones, the cowboy was telling us, was seven of seven when Richard Sherman

was the closest defender. He just got off the plane, dude. We got to give him some time. You know, he's had a long year. He just got off the plane. I hope he's happy there

because I do like Richard Sherman, but this was a rough first outing. There were so many 50-50 jerseys in the parking lot, you know, half-pats, half bucks. but the bucks Brady jersey had the alarm clock numerals which Brady never wore so somebody had this bright idea in the Gillette parking lot hey I'm going to sell a bagillion 50 50 Brady jerseys

and didn't didn't totally execute the plan the clock the clock numbers yeah yeah oh that's some bootlegs shit yeah it was probably hey 20 bucks some guy from brain tree just stitching those motherfuckers together in his basement Brady Brady jersey jersey's from china but what the fans did Yeah. Excellent, I thought. Big round of applause as Brady comes out of the tunnel. Good. Good. I heard because I was checking, falling along on the flight, and they said, Brady just booed him.

And I was like, oh, fuck me, dude. These guys really just, they're glutton for being hated. And then he trots onto the field for the first drive, and they boo him. I thought it was really well done. I thought that that's perfect right there. Yeah. You know, I'm really glad. I'm relieved that there was an applause on the way out.

So the record, that's the one piece of the puzzle. for me that I didn't see, right? He set the record. Supposedly you were kind of right on it. You said like 8.50 or something. You were more on it. I was. You were about one minute off.

Really? Yeah, I had it at 845, I think. I think it's at 844. At any rate, yeah. So, worst plane ride for me, yours from Philly, because you guys got in a touch late and I held it down here in the Jay. It's touch late. Watching Brady set the passing record.

And so what happened was Passes made Passed caught Mike Evans I think was on the receiving end And they rolled him down And then they gave them an extra yard As NBC went to break So we didn't see any of the pomp in circumstance

And come to find out from the folks on the ground Is that they started to try to stop the game The official ran over to Tom with the ball to present it to him and Tom flung it over to the equipment guy on the sideline and got right back to the huddle and said let's play ball. Holy shit dude, the league

I mean they've got to be kicking themselves. That's footage that lives forever. Yeah. Forever. Who can forget. Or until Dak Prescott breaks the record. Who can forget as Roger Sherman tweeted today. Yeah. They gave Drew Breeze a laminated piece of paper

when he broke the record. I mean, that shot lives forever. Yeah, they laminated it. People have little machines. for that? Yeah, it's a machine. Anybody can have a laminating machine? I've actually never seen it. I feel like you need to get like a license to have a laminating machine like because it can make anything look official.

I've never and think about how dangerous that could potentially be. You could laminate say a finger, you know? I'm with you. I've never seen a laminator. Never seen a laminator. Never seen a laminator. Yeah, no. The real star tonight though. And by the way, great football game. I mean, a lot of fun. The storylines didn't disappoint. the money line paid for my uh sujuck platter tonight oh nice which was great

download bet win the win bet app nice nice yeah you're still doing it yeah w y n guys got a problem with the real problem with promotion yeah you're just being a good soldier the real hero tonight though wasn't bill bellichick it wasn't tom brady it was steve bellichick did you see that guy's fucking waterfall. It was Chris Long looking ass Steve Belichick. He doesn't look like me. Well, I was about to say, I was about to say he looked great. Well, listen, that's my guy.

It's my man, 100 grand, but I definitely, I don't look like Steve Velichick. We have the same kind of, you know, like two level wide waterfall, you know, like a little stair stair stairway waterfall. You should have seen your guy, Steve Belichick. You should have seen Bill Belichick when, uh, they were. for 12 men on the field, 12 men in formation on defense. Oh, fuck me running. Bad scene for Steve.

Yeah, real tough scene. That's like go to your room. Yes. Like in a big way. Cut your hair. Go to your room. Cut that stupid fucking hair. Yeah.

I'm with you, Steve. The hair is cool. Speaking of people that look like people, the Dan Levitar army of little pirates, they were on your ass about looking like that guy from, what, Saturday Night Live? Yeah, Stuart Smalley. People in the comments had some good stuff.

I didn't know that was a cyber bullying podcast. Yeah. So the argument, the disagreement, little scuffle didn't make any sense. Dan tweeted that when I, let me do it, Dan, when I was at Miami, we didn't lose a home game for four years. Did he center himself in that tweet? Yeah. When I was at Miami. Yes. And then he said, and then I graduated in the next guys for their four years. They didn't lose a home game at Miami. And then so I, hey, we had just beat Miami. I love you saying, Dan, like we're friends with him. But if he's like, well, we're not actually friends with each other, you idiot. I think that's where I escaped because I sent a tweet, low-hanging fruit. Like, yeah, those were the days, Dan, when we closed out the Orange Bowl with a 48 to nothing win. Well, the best part was you signed it making.

You know, he signs it Dan because Dan's got a good setup. And this is the way I eventually want to be, Cowboy Rood. If I ever make it big time like Dan Levittard, I want people to type my tweets for me. You know, like, so I don't actually ever have to go in the shitstorm? and I just text you something and then you put Chris on the end of it, you fucking twisted the knife by posting a picture of the scoreboard

of the last game of the Orange Bowl. You played in it. I played in it. 48 nothing. And the scoreboard looks super old, dude. That's how old we are, dude. That scoreboard was like super Raycom sports looking. So then Dan retweets that.

Yeah. And I'm like, hmm, this can't be good. This can't be good, whatever he's doing. But the best part was you signed at Macon. Thank you. Thank you. For a split second. I was like, okay, all right.

Then I was like, wait, this doesn't add up. And then, bam, picture of your face. Zoomed in picture of your cockazoid, mom. And by your face, I mean, my face. And I got a couple of tweets along the lines of why did Dan Levitar just tweet a picture of your face? And that's, I answered it with, well, I tweeted a picture of the scoreboard from. So I guess this is the next step, the next logical step.

So I think if enough people connected the podcast. podcast dots where I think enough other people thought, oh, okay, this is an inside joke. Yeah. And they could have been much more brutal. I only got like 30, 35, hey, this is an ugly face comments. Listen, not the best picture of you. Oh, but therein lies the problem. I almost quote tweeted it with the picture of you when you had facial hair and you look cool as fuck.

And everybody was going to be like, damn, dude, let me not show this to my wife. See, honestly, hey, it's not the best looking picture of you. But that's the problem because in my mind, that is a good look. looking picture of me. Because I had like a choice. Your problem is like the choices you make. I had. If you were a house, let me put it in house. Okay. Good bones. Mm-hmm. Right. No, see, I always. It's just good bones. But honestly, I think I've always been walking around thinking it was an okay face. And then I guess- Good face, man. You just got to accentuate it the right way. All I was going to say was I think when some of the people were like

making fun of you in the comments, they forgot that they have pictures of their face by their Twitter. sand blasted Brett Kavanaugh. I was looking at some of these motherfuckers and I was like man I could be pretty mean right now but they'll call it punching down and I don't want to be the punching down guys so I'm gonna just leave the cyberbullying to the Dan Lebutard podcast.

It looks like Elon Musk trying to mingle in the regular world in disguise except he doesn't know what normal people look like. That shit was funny. That face has to be made in a Russian art studio as their rendition of white people in America. That's so good. He looks like he's,

He's asked a bouncer if he knows who his father was. I thought that one was it. That's such low-hanging fruit. Like, get a new good one, dude. Like, you're a white guy listening to a podcast. Like, you're, you got, you can't do the low-hanging fruit white guy stuff, Miami, which is a program that's just not good anymore. Doink.

Big doink. It was just like a thud. That motherfucker was like, thud. I mean, it was from about 31 out, so it's going to hit it pretty hard. That motherfucker hard, dude. Bronco just put his hand in the air, like, had that in the cards. Had that just perfectly planned out. Yeah, so anyways, speaking of college football, did you see the Bo Nix play?

I did. That's my OA award this week. I mean, like, I don't know how when somebody turns their body to the sideline like that and just like, you know, numbers facing the defenders that are. chasing him from the pocket, you don't expect him to get a ball off. Like, he was quite literally able to pivot his hips. I've not seen a kid that I'm trying to tread carefully here, surprise me that way athletically before.

I did not know Bo Nex was an athlete. Bo Nex whipped his hips around and threw a strike to 85 there. And he's this week's OA award winner, my first college OA award winner. because I don't want to chase that motherfucker Speaking of chasing the only reason Why I saw that play was because I was on a very easy Money Line parlay

Of the Clemson Tigers And boy was that a roller coaster Against BC at home The Vanderbilt Commodores Who had who had Yukon at home You had to win on the last second You really are into this And then Penn State against Indiana

ended up winning Yeah But it looked dicey there for a long time For Clemson and Vandy So I had to go searching elsewhere, and I came across Yellow Shoe and Auburn. Clemson's back. Is your Bevel Conway this week from college? No.

No, it's not. I think we have the same one, don't we? Miami Dolphins, and their all-white throwbacks. That was beautiful. I just saw it just recently because, thank goodness, I didn't watch that game in real time. Five Bevel Conways. That's the only redeeming quality about that game was those uniforms. Well, and our South Division winner getting on the board here week four.

Hey, you never know, honestly. You never know. You never fucking know. Last week was probably the week to bet that. That's the thing about the AMC South. You never fucking know. You know when you know? Never.

Never. Go Colts. Go Colts. Mo Ali Cox. Go ponies. That's right. The one college bit of news. Now, you haven't seen this.

I decided to just save it to get your, for living under a rock all weekend, and you don't have a lot of dirt on your polo, too. Like, because you haven't seen the Urban Meyer video. I haven't. I didn't. All right. I'm going to pause for a second and let you.

Unless it was from Thursday night football, I've seen videos of him being dramatic and sad and cryy. This is different. There's a night time. We're going to pull it up here. We're pulling it up here. Going pretty well. Is that urban.

When is this from? This is evidently from the weekend. Like he had the weekend off because they played in Ohio and he's, you know, king shit in Ohio. so he's out at the bar and is that is that the missus no that's not the misses is there a missus there is a missus that i but as far as i know but that's neither here nor there it's just that like listen i fidelity is good right okay yeah fidelity good but also if we're starting to to punish people who are you know who step out in sports you're gonna lose a lot of your favorites here so it's not

the infidelity that's driving people crazy about urban mire and i don't like being in people's business but fucking we're all on the internet and this video pops up and it's just like holy shit his name's popping up for USC they're o' and four you know Trevor Lawrence hasn't lost to bama four times i mean he's owing four since 2019 to you know playing bama and it's all urban mire's fault so i don't know like the seat is like already like a little bit like a little bit like lukewarm and then they're talking about you going out west and then you go out to a bar and it's baby grind on me i'm kind of impressed he can do the button down with a short and some nikes listen my i don't i get a little uncomfortable judging people i'm not i'm not judging people i don't

know what goes on in people's personal lives i don't particularly love urban mire as a coach you know some of the things that have gone on in the past my thing is just that you are the head coach of an 0 and 4 football team and your name is trending for a job. So either you're throwing the game or you're like a movie football coach. Well, in the post game presser self-destructive.

I know these guys, I know their hearts and I'm devastated. I'm devastated because I know, like dude, you played fine. Just say you're getting better. We're getting better. Trevor didn't throw the ball to the other team like 14 times this week.

Yeah. And bangles are kind of good. Holy shit. We lost the bangles and nobody. and nobody's surprised. Rome wasn't built in a day. Rome wasn't built in a day, dude. That's all I'm saying.

But you hadn't seen that video. That's remarkable. Yeah. You're on a sports podcast. You have the internet. You're buried in your app, aren't you? Yeah. Win bet.

Listen, dude. This slate was terrible. I mean, it looked promising, but it turned out to be just do-do. Terrible. Terrible games. And I got a little theory, and I don't know what it is exactly,

but it goes something along lines of the league is going to have to suffer through some shitty football this year because there's a lot of transition at the most important position. Like a lot. Not only we have a bunch of rookies, we're also replacing a big crop

of legendary quarterbacks from yesteryear. You know, the only one hanging on is Ben. And, you know, Ben's stinking it up, so that's one slate. That's one game on the slate that's going to be bad in a big market. And in New York, you got two quarterbacks. One's a rookie and one, I don't know, you tell me. Future Hall of Famer.

Just look at the slate today. I mean, it goes, Danny Dimes, fucking a Jameson, a Jamesombexam extravaganza. Mash up. A mashup. You obviously get Patrick Mahomes, which is football porn. But then, you know, on the other side of it, you've got a quarterback who's learning. he's essentially a rookie. Houston, you got Davis Mills getting, you know.

Mills and bills. Getting boat race by Josh Allen, so you can't even enjoy the good quarterback because you're like, no, I'm not watching that game, right? Just like kind of most people probably aren't watching Kansas City, Philly. Carolina, Dallas, okay. Cleveland and Minnesota, 21 points in that game. I'd over.

Now, here's where it gets bad. Indy and Miami, you've got, under siege quarterback with two twisted ankles and a fucking backup quarterback. I mean, it was ugly, by all accounts. Tennessee and the Jets, say no more. You got no receivers on one side. You've got Zach Wilson on the other. I was at our live stream today, which was great.

People were asking about you. One of one of two. Yeah, the one in Philly, which was awesome. Shout out to everybody was there. some people were saying hey what the fuck is making's problem but that's neither here they use those words

yeah that's it's Philly dude like in general or just my absence move on we were talking about Darren Sproles me and Lagart were talking about this play when Darren Sproles were actually against the Giants he tore his ACL and broke his arm the same play bro

oh yeah yeah I was just thinking in your second live stream of your day you said 43 was a cheek's number and D. Sproul's. Yeah, well, Sproles is the only guy who made it look cool. Ross Cockrell, not the same. Okay.

So, you know, we're just telling this story, like, wow, Super Bowl year stories and some of the crowd's like, what about Carson and his two broken ankles? I'm like, well, you're missing a big detail here. It's like, you'd have to do it the same play to qualify. But you've got Carson and Jacoby Brissette

duking it out right now. I guess Detroit's in, Detroit, Chicago was an improvement. from the David Blow-Trabisky era. Wow. You remember that? That was like my first fall out of football. I was like, this is sports betting. David Blow, Mitch Trubisky. This is making

this game fun. 17-14 perpetually. Washington, Atlanta, say no more. I mean, it's just a lot of bad football right now. And I don't know if it's an issue with just the offenses or the fact that there's so much turnover in the league now

where coordinators are so much pressures on them and head coaches that everybody's starting over perpetually, and you're always as a quarterback on the hot seat. I don't know, but I just think like you're going to see more Sundays like this. The first fucking slate or the one o'clock games, I was looking at that scoreboard in Philly following the games, and it took a while for people to get north at 10 points in that little set of games. Your boy, Mitch Trubisky, outscored the Houston Texans today.

Did he really? Scored in the fourth quarter. snipe to TD from Devin Singletary who was going up against your Liberty Cucks. I want nothing but the best for Mitchell Trubesky. I like the kid a lot. Shitty, shitty, shitty Sunday.

Not the worst Sunday to be trying to follow along most of the games from inside an NFL stadium, which we'll talk about in a bit. Giant Saints, though. Exciting. Got to be exciting for you. Yeah, my game ball goes to Drabil Peppers.

For the fucking coin toss. boom we want that ball fuck him it was fuck him fuck him okay it was taking me a while to figure out what it was it was fuck him boom we want that ball fuck him jank was i'm looking at jenks face and the and calling heads was even better but we we can't say exactly what he said yeah no no no sterling shepherd no darius slayton for the giants i say mic up all point tosses micam all up like hard micam That was a hard mic up. That was on the PA system. Yeah, I think you're not going to love a lot of what you get.

Do they already do that? And most people just don't say, fuck them. I think you're right. Yeah. Most of it go off without incident. Most people aren't jumping around, getting ready for OT. I like Gibrio peppers off of that. I mean,

I know some people are going to say, like, what about people at home? But, you know. It was awesome. Fuck them. Cover would have been fine. I don't know why we're, why we're trying to win ball games,

but it did feel good. Well, you know, the funny thing is, like, you guys are so shitty. the Jets figured out a way not to win, you know, but they didn't lose. So it's like kind of okay, but it's better in the long run than you guys. So they got that shit figured out better than you. Well, hey, Dimes threw for five million yards. I don't, hey, maybe, maybe he's an answer

after all. Big boy. Damn dude to nobody too. So I mean, good for, good for Danny Dimes, bro. Good for for Danny Dimes. Good for that team. I'll get him best playing right because they get the, uh, char how do I say this they get the char broiled oysters it's hard fucking word to say char broiled they get the char broiled oysters I can't say the word char broiled char broiled they get the char broiled oysters okay and they get on that plane with a win and they go back and they get just one day not feeling like Joe judge wants to

assault them in the hallway you know like it's just a nice respite from being a New York giant. Yeah, can't wait to spend another top. But here, enough about the giants, because Lord knows they don't matter this year. I want to talk about the Saints. Okay, I want to talk about the Taysom Hill experience, which is... Tamis. Oh, but the Taysom part of the experience is...

Jason. It's a lot like the Saints right now, dude. Seriously. I mean, think of how erratic it was. Like, you get the, literally one of the best runs I've ever seen in NFL history. I mean, I'm not, listen, I'm no big fan of the way Taysam Hill is used. I'm just as like, come on, guys, as the rest of you online. But that was a damn good run.

I mean, seven motherfuckers he shook off. But the Taysam Hill experience is up and down. You get that run, and then you get the pick that, like, traveled 48 yards in the air, that ball. I mean, he took eight crow hops, and that's what was in it. like 48 yards in the air and it's first and 20 like what are we doing you know badly underthrown and uh it was like one of the it was really bad i was like oh that must be some kind of extreme back shoulder fade thing he wanted to be like jamis he wanted to toss it deep he wanted to be

like james he wanted to be like his friend james he wanted to take shots but that wasn't time to take shots. I mean, look at it. It's first and 20. You got control of that football game. I thought, and I posited before, that maybe they're going to play tasem in situations where they just want to shorten the game. And yeah, if you're going to put them in to shorten the game, don't have them doing Jamest things, especially when you're going to say, and I love champagne, but when you say, like, hey, we're too much like yo-yo's. We need consistency. You've got a fourth and three, right? Reed, it was a fourth and three to get stuffed, and then they go fourth than what?

And then it was fourth and three in the next drive. They kicked the field goal, miss it. From the 40. From the 40, from further out. Exactly. And so I understand in game, you make adjustments and, you know, that's a lot of the thing with like analytics and like, hey, going for two.

Like, well, maybe in the game, that particular team on that particular day, for whatever reason is owning a matchup and that is more important than the math. And that may very well be what Sean Payton is. thinking as he makes that adjustment, but it doesn't seem like there's like a real plan to how they're going to play football this year. There's a long time left, but this team is incredibly variable, and I'm afraid to gamble on this team. How old do you think Taysom is? 28 years old. 31. Titans Jets, big day for New York, right? Yeah, and people were on this. You weren't. I understand it. A bit of a stinky line. Titans didn't have Julio or A.J. Brown.

here was the thing i teased the um i teased the titans down to pick them with the saints coincidentally so what i should do in situations like that is just bet the jets but it just seemed like too randy marsh for me even with the two receivers out but you really see how much they struggle without those two horses man those guys can fucking roll and when you don't have them i mean how many times you think they loaded the box today? I mean, Reed, you kept an eye on that game. Heavy box, lots of seven, deep personnel.

Heavy box. The box was heavy. The box was heavy. You can't run into that box. I mean, when you don't have anybody, and by the way, it was a Corey Davis revenge game, so your best weapon that you traded, you know, away or let walk in free agency, or whatever

it was, it was free agency, I think. You know, you get Julio Jones, you get the upside, but there has been durability issues. And now you're sitting there without two of your best receivers. If that happens, I mean, in a playoff game, if that happens late in the season, and you're without one of these two guys, like, I don't know what they look like with just A.J. Brown or just Julio Jones. I mean, like, they let Corey Davis walk. And it was a Corey Davis revenge game. I think he had like four for 88 or four for 90 or something like that. Nice little day for him. They're plus territory.

At third and eight, third and one, third and six, didn't convert any of them, three field goals. When you start with the three field goals, nine nothing, you let a team off the hook like that. You really, when you play a bad team, you have to put them away, which is one of my concerns about the Ravens right now. I said a few times, like they haven't put bad teams away.

When Titans kick field goals against the jets, you don't kick field goals against two teams, really. The jets and the chiefs for different reasons, right? You want to keep pace with. the chiefs, you want to put the jets away, right? That's right. I mean, 9-0-0. I was looking at the fucking scoreboard saying they're fucking around right now.

Yeah, you better see 16-0-0 quick or else he's going to go south. Yeah, this is one of those sleepy games up there in East Rutherford, Rutherford. Good-looking corner for gang green. Three pass breakups, two quarterback hits, and a half a sack for Bryce Hall. Yep. Where do he go to school? We're in 37. I don't know.

Wah-hoo-wah. Hey, no, Wilson, though, I mean, I mean, he was trying to bow Nix a lot. He really was. And I had heard he played pretty well. And like objectively, he had improved. I mean, he wasn't doing a hat trick and all that stuff. A lot of his yardage was either like open cats or guys that were catching balls that were slightly off target. Like, he really has to work on his placement.

But this is the only way he does that is he plays a Tennessee team that you actually can. can get a little more comfortable in the pocket against than some of the teams you played, okay, you get a little breathing room, maybe they're not as good on the back end. I think this is a really good idea to have him throw the ball a lot, you know, a day like today. And he wasn't perfect.

He made a beautiful throw in OT when it mattered to Keel and Cole, dropped in the bucket under pressure, really aggressive. I love that. I love that he was aggressive today, but you know, miss on a third and 10 late, you know, touchdown tied at 17

he's he's behind the out and puts him at risk if you remember that little short out I mean he's behind that out so it's a lot of little things you see it with Jalen Hertz you know a week ago in the Cowboys game where you say I'd like him to hit his back foot a little quicker climb the pocket

I'd like that ball to be a little bit it's nitpicky stuff but it's the same thing here you know young player he's going to improve he had a big difference in his first half and second half performance 65 yards in the first half 232 and two touchdowns in the second those 65 yards in the first half 75% nearly 75% were yak yards yeah and that's the thing and and i heard that coming in

and i went looked at his throws and i thought in the second half to be honest i was surprised that the placement of the ball didn't improve a ton it was more just that i think they schemed up better and i think that players made plays. And, you know, again, credit to him, making throws. And one of the best plays he made all day, fumbles a snap under center and throws off his back foot to Crowder. So, you know, even the big play rolling right when they get Jenkins to jump the out, it's not like exactly on target.

So stat sheet looked good. He'll improve. Here was the thing that fucking freaked me out about this game. And I would have loved for this guy to have thought about it. But third and 21 in overtime, the Titans actually convermed. damn near. They actually end up having a kick, right? Is that the subsequent play they kicked right after this?

No, so they went for it. They got it on fourth and one with Henry, which is automatic. So they basically convert on third and 21. The kid that catches the football is not down, in my opinion. Now, that's from looking at it three times. I haven't gone back. Evidently, there's not a lot of chatter about that.

But I felt like in real time, and this might have been my wallet thinking a little bit, like my heart, my wallet, mixing the two a little bit. I did not think he was down. and he got up and everybody kind of did the I'm not sure what's going on thing and he threw the ball of the official

yeah Chester Rogers he definitely deserved a second look oh my goodness did it ever so I kind of want to write Vegas about that you know how the officials give an apology sometimes after a shitty call I want Vegas to write me an apology

like the win bet just sent me a little notarized thing or write your state senator Washington Atlanta loneliest game in football you know you need to teach me more about

gambling because when you tie everything to another thing well you're really all in on that one thing yeah you really are like washing in a parlay or something the football team minus one and a half all over my board had them in a parlay too saints blew that parley awful roughing

the passer call on Chase Young where he where he pushed didn't understand that one at all on multiple levels didn't understand Chase Young like kind of just running by and we do dumb shit as DeLyman sometimes. Like your brain is just like, it's not working sometimes when you're trying to process four different things at once.

Try not to hit him hard. You know, am I too late? Am I getting contained? Do I need to put my hand up? There are so many things as you're, you're closing in on a quarterback that you have to think about.

You know, they say don't leave your feet. Like you're trying not to get pumped. It can be awkward. But that was really awkward. I was like, you try and tackle him? Yeah.

Y'all don't even have a sack. Push him as high as he possibly could, but it wasn't to the one to the head or not. I think he thought, I think maybe Matt pumped him. I got to look again, and he thought the ball was gone, which happens.

Like, you know, you think the ball is gone and then you kind of let up. As he was, as Chase Young was getting there, Matt was just about all the way forward. And kind of tucked it,

like tuck littleish back in. Yeah. Yeah. So heads up play in a way by Chase Young, like trying to be heads up and actually gets flagged for it. It's not it's not roughing anybody, dude.

That was a fourth down. It got picked off, but his knee was down before he even let go of it. Were people talking about the knee? Nope, because people were just talking about the ruffing. Why are people just talking about the ruffing?

His knee was down too. And that led to a touchdown. Falcons were up eight. I'm just hoping for overtime at that point, but the football team comes back. Wins it in regulation. Washington also came in 25% just

worth of 25% on third down. Today they were four and nine. The only thing about this game that really caught my eye was Cordaral. Yeah, dude. He used to be on my fantasy team. He's the one that got away big time. Yeah, appreciate you dropping him to the waiver wire.

He put up right many points for me on my bench against you this week. I feel like it's like, you know, a breakup and then just that person's stock goes way up. You know, just that look on Instagram, just looking And then lands with the rock star.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, not the rock star. The defending champs. That's the one place I'm glad, Cordoba. Like, your fantasy football team is the short guy that I'm okay with my ex-date. You know what I mean? Because, like, no offense to short guys, I just, you know, it's a little bit more palatable. You don't want like some Vince Vaughn looking motherfucker walking up and like, hey, good to see again.

It's like, this is my boyfriend, Vince Vaughn. Like, your fantasy football team is Joe. Pesci right now. Defending champs again. Yeah, but this year we live like, okay again, Joe Pesci, like what have you been in lately? The movie the breakup was good. Vince Fawn and Jennifer Aniston in Chicago. Yeah, I'm kind of remembering that one.

Yeah. You're Joe Pesci. Your fantasy football team's Joe Pesci. So I'm happy. I'm okay that Cordarro's there. The guy's a fucking amazing football player. Texans bills, not a lot to talk about there. It just made me start looking back at my worst losses.

I think we lost the Jets 47 to 3 one time. My rookie year we lost 47 to 3 to Brett Fav in New York, bro. Not even like Chad Pennington, Prime Chad Pendington. This is like New York JetFarv. JetFarv. Did they call him that back in the day?

Do you remember? I don't get it. JetFarv? Yeah, he used to play for the Jets. Well, I know that. But what's JetFarv? Brett Fav. Oh!

Yeah, we lost a Jet Fav, dude. Yeah. I have me nervous there though. I was just smoking drugs over here. Well, you are smoking drugs over there. Was 47 to 3. Wow. I jumped on the points with the bills. 16, 16 and a half, 17 even. Which is the move right now. I figure if it's that high. The move. Vegas, no, let's just go. Roll the move. It was the move with Georgia.

Georgia. It was the move with Georgia. They ran the ball of bills. Yeah. Singletary. Moss. Buffalo at Kansas City next Sunday night. We did a live stream this, right? Well, we're going to do it again. Right here. We're going to do it again because every fourth quarter.

Yeah. All season. Asterisk. As long as the show is fully prepped. Oh boy. Now here we are. Well, here's the deal. Wife alert.

I'm going to get home in the twos. Like, you might not see me again. I believe me. She's sleeping. I've had the same conversation. My wife is sleeping. I've had the same conversation. There's nothing that they can do with us.

They're sleeping. I've got really creaky. floorboards. I know, but I'm just saying it's you know the thing is like if you got about at 10 p.m. Like, hey, I'm pretty much free after 10, right? That's the way life like works in my head. Like what what can you do with me? I'm, you're sleeping. You're in your REM stage, dude. Well, podcasting. Breaking up the REM, I think is part of the counter argument. Well, be quieter, dude. You only weigh 140 like to get Tom Cruisey. Mission Impossible. No, hey, listen, you're not 140.

You're like a solid 178. Oh, God, no. I wish. What are you? Well, it was 161 in April. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. Like probably 171.

Jesus, you're okay? Well, what would we say? 180 by Christmas. I feel like, I feel pretty fucking out of shape after a weekend in Philly. The thing about the bills. Bill's Chiefs. Four games, less than 300 yards, all those games. I've talked about how the bills have flown under the radar, right?

Because, you know, they played in these weird spots and they lost the Pittsburgh first week. So people forgot that they're probably a Super Bowl favorite coming out of the AFC. But they're a lot like the Panthers defense, right? Like, who have they played? We'll talk about the Panthers in a second. That was my thing against Dallas is like, yeah, they're great statistically, but they have not been challenged in the same thing with the bills. They ain't playing nobody, Paul.

They ain't playing nobody, but they don't write the schedule. So really look forward to two teams, the Bills and the Chiefs, who were on a collision course last year, and it was a, it was anti-climactic, right? Long walk, shortfall. The Bills kicked field goals, which is a theme that comes up later. The Bills decided to play it safe. The Bills couldn't pressure Patrick Mahomes. They've rectified.

those issues. Now we'll see like from play calling standpoint in a mentality standpoint if they have, but their D-line looks good. They've invested in it. AJ Appanessa looks better. He looks sped up on tape. I don't know if he lost weight or Nutra System or he's on steroids, but this guy is fucking rolling. Got a step count up. Maybe. Yeah. You can keep that in. It's okay. But he looks good. Like they have done the things that they knew and identified that they needed to do to be. the chiefs. And the chiefs have kind of gone the other way. And I think this is going to be a great barometer for where these two teams are. You know, the chiefs have been much maligned, battle tested a little bit.

The bill's not so. And here they meet in the middle. And then you get the Titans and the Dolphins. So a bunch of teams that these bills have history with over the next couple of weeks to prove who they really are. Panthers Cowboys. Zeke runs for 143. Panthers had allowed 135 to date on the ground

So there you go There you have it And we said this We were right on on this one Cowboys were my lock of the week People in Philly don't like hearing that But the reasoning is this And people say hey

Panthers haven't played in 10 days One That's not that great I mean you know You can be rusty You can start slow Although they didn't start slow They actually you know

Dallas pulled away But no McCaffrey And they had to played anybody. All those defensive metrics they played the Jets I believe right? The Lions. No, not the Lions. The Jets. Saints, Texans. Jets, Davis Mills, and then the Saints with eight coaches missing, right? Offensively. And I thought that was an aberration, but maybe that's who the Saints are, you know, because they made the Giants look like a Super Bowl favorite down there in the Superdome. Talk about a long walk, shortfall. They've been away for like.

months and they come home to get people by the Giants. If you're going to get so close to naming your kid Chubba Hubbard, why not just do that? Not Chuba. His name's Chuba. I like Chuba. You're so close to Chuba. Yeah. One more B.

That's a really good question. Yeah. I'm glad you said that because I would have definitely called him Chubba. Yeah, it's a unfortunate. It's a missed opportunity. Hey, do you, Chuba? Yeah. And I want to say this.

Stefan Diggs. he's got a brother you should get to know him Trayvon Diggs catches lots of passes He's got five picks already this year He's got great ball skills They say he's like a receiver receiver

Right And honestly he's a guy who That single digit looks sweet on I watched him really intently Against the Eagles And he has great ball skills Great instincts It's not just that you can catch the football

He knows where to put his hands He knows how to time a punch he knows how to hook somebody without, you know, getting flagged. He's just really sharp. And I want to say this, man. I think the Kelsey's have been the gold standard in football brothers. I mean that. I'm not even being funny.

Kelsey's, Kelsey's, depending on which one you ask. These guys, the digses, are going to be the next Kelsey's. I think they already are the next Kelsey's, if that makes sense. Think about how elite they both are at their positions, respectively. they also play each other like there could be a point in the Super Bowl or something like not to put the Cowboys in the Super Bowl

but you could see digs on digs two digs yeah dude it's pretty cool I like the kid a lot especially for a cowboy Cowboys they're pretty likable I don't know if the Hard Knocks thing

like just kind of crept into my head but Michael Parsons Diggs Dack is of course very likable that's three players yeah I think it's DAC I think that's what it is

because Mike McCarthy not so much Zeke is By the way Zique My game ball Zeke or Tyreek Gameball I'm going to give it to Zique

And it's going to piss Philly fans off No matter what I do there because Tyreek torched him And Zika Zique Zeke is a member of the member of the houses Happy to have them But that hard knocks

That hard knocks all I can think about is is him giggling uncontrollably at things that aren't funny. I just think about the domesticated gift exchange between him and Dak. Yeah. They went in the meeting room.

They gave each other luggage. Like stopped their each other's meetings. Gave the luggage. Other dudes in the meetings were like, holy shit, that's an expensive bag. This is awkward. Like some of the rookies were like, holy shit.

I might never see that money. And then they like left the meeting. Right. Let me wheel this out Take your bag now Colts Dolphins in the aforementioned Beville Conway Award winner ball game Oh gorgeous

Where are those every week guys What are you doing? Dolphins went 30 minutes Of the ball game Without a first down And The only question I have for you is Jacoby at the Jags in two weeks

Where are you set in the line? Jacoby at the Jags in London If, if, if, yeah Which basically, it's like Jagville, dude They love it there Like, like that's That's where that team is loved, dude You go to London, bro

There are people Like the Jaguars are like the Beatles there And even when they're going one in 15 It's like they don't care Yeah It's like they don't care It's like football club fans, dude Wow, that's Levin's live.

Vista Chenault. Yeah, like, Chanel, might. It's chenault, might. You're asking me to set that line.

Set that line? Yeah. I think, I think dolphins are, I'm going to throw away the home field. Dolphins are more competent. I would say the dolphins

are favored by a field goal in that game. That's what I was thinking. Anything more than the field goal, I say no way. No way, Jose. Actually, if the dolphins are favored by a field goal,

I think the jags win that game. in London and their home turf. Maybe that's the first one for them. Yeah, I think they win that game. Bold prediction right here. Maybe not so bold when you look at how the dolphins played today.

Playing in London is a lot of fun. A lot of fun. I want to remind people, Kevin Costner came to our practice in London. Watched Jeff Fisher-led Rams football team. Watched our practice. It was the coolest shit ever. Did you win that game?

No, no, no, no. No, we got beat. I did win in London. in Philly though. Had two sacks, mate. Wow. Went home and got really fucking drunk in my hotel room. That's one 35th of your career sack total.

Yeah, pretty much. Just right there. That's the way it goes. Imagine you have a three sack game. Yeah. Don't get used to it. No, but like hangovers, London after a football game, tore it all wearing off, the worst Sunday scaries or whatever day it was.

You know, it was Monday scaries. hung over on a Monday morning in London with a flight to catch in the evening overcast perpetually Toral wearing off We beat the Jags though I think the Jags are going to win that game Viewing party I'll give you a viewing party

It's Nick Foles looking at Carson Wens tape On the JumboTron You know when like you're sitting there with your fucking Microsoft tablet and there's They're showing all the scores on the game Well you don't know what this is like But you've got to pretend like you're not watching the highlights to the other teams, like you don't casually care what's going on.

In Miami Guards now, they have four big screens in each of the corners. Big screens, right? A bunch of them. But here's the thing. I wonder how many big screens they have at Soldier Field because that's where Nick Foals is sitting there with his tablet. And Matt Nagy's like, hey, did you see that? Talk to the Rook.

And he's like, yeah, sure, I'm looking at the Colts game to see if Carson's throwing any picks because, you know, Nagy and Reich, they might be talking. They really might be talking. And this was a big game for Carson to get that talk gone, at least for a couple days. I screwed up your big TV. He's talking about Miami Guard. It's nice saved by you. You're a good teammate.

You took it back to Soldier. I appreciate that. Notice how I didn't just like obliterate you over that. Yeah. Good guy, man. That's what you are. That's the bottom line. That's a bottom line.

You're a good guy. Stone Cold said so. You're a good guy. Those Carson's first win in eight games. Good for him. I want Carson to play well. I want him to do well. You know, like truth is a truth, though.

Like, he's got to make better throws. That's it. And when he makes those throws, the heat will subside. But until then, you got a guy who's got a statue outside the link, and he's sitting there holding a fucking Microsoft tablet. Carson, how's your left ankle feel today? Playing quarterback roulette at Soldier Field. I don't know who's going to start week to week. Well, we do now.

Let's just talk about Chicago to Detroit. A little better. What about your right? about the same. Oh, that's funny. All right, we'll keep us posted on both of your sprained angles.

Okay, dude. He's better now. How do you? How do he sprained two? It's hard, man. Sometimes you're like fucked up shit. By the way, I almost tore my ACL at the Chris Stapleton concert. More on that later. Brown's 14 Viking 7. Hey, man. No, that's not a live looking in the first quarter. That's a final score.

Head over. Dude, that is an unfortunate number to play because that appeared to be a game that people were going to score in. Fly on the wall for me might have been OBJ in meetings with Baker. This is the second game back. That ball he under threw to him late in the game that would have just iced it. I don't know if it's even under. It's more like really behind him.

He had the yips on that throw. Yeah, he short-armed it. It was like it just didn't come out right. And I don't know. Well, maybe there was a miscarriage. communication. I don't want to be like dumb D-Lyman, you know, like I hate when people butcher D-Line talk. Maybe there was

some in-flight adjustment that was supposed to take place, but no, I think it was just a bad fucking throw, dude. When you're running loose, when you're in the free, it's a back shoulder. When you're, when you're five yards ahead of the corner, I'm going to hit that back shoulder. What I'm going to do is try to hit you, I'm trying, I'm

trying to flat tire you. You know, like when you step on the back of somebody's shoe, that, that's where that ball was thrown. And yet, best plane ride for me is Cleveland Browns because they won Ugly. You know what? You've got to win ugly games sometimes and Baker's come a long

way so you know what? This type of game last year or two years ago it would have been oh Baker sky is falling this that and third like Baker's going to be okay he's come a long way they're a good football team and they came out with a win

he also missed a touchdown early in the game to Cream Hunt that they subsequently went for it on fourth and four got sacked by Everson Griffin boy he's probably happy to be back fucking guy was in Detroit Detroit and lived to tell about it

Matt Patricia led Detroit Lions he missed playing for covering Campbell but you can't miss throws like that Vikings couldn't finish the drive to tie and the Browns they come out with the win 14-7 Vikes had scored 2433 and 30 points before putting up seven 17-7 games.

No. Nope. And it was 11-7 there for a long time. It was weird. Browns went for two. And that's the power of going for two, though, like late in the game, like had there been a situation where, you know, you're looking at it and you're saying, it puts a lot of pressure on the offense, man.

Mike Zimmer can't wrap his head around in 11 to 7 for half an hour? 11 to 7. I'm going to go get my deer stand, dude. Fucking fuck this. Like, what is that score? It's a Blue Jays score. Oh, buddy. Yeah.

Final day of the regular season for the Jays. 91-71, a game short of the wild car. Damn, Philly's back to, they hit me with the bell. More on that on Wednesday. Flatting me with the bell. Chicago, Detroit, rounding it out. Listen, this was all about Justin Fields, man. Covering Campbell, he couldn't cover today.

When they got the play action going and he got comfortable late, like he was comfortable with the whole game. They schemed it up nice. And by the way, Matt and Aggie shouted out Bill Laser for the play calling. So a little humility from Matt Nagy And a little love for former UVA coordinator, right? That's right. He, he, uh, this kid looked good today, man.

Fields look good. He looked good early hitting open receivers, but late he made two throws in particular. You know, it was the, uh, it was the biscuit in the basket, as Gus Johnson called it, to, uh, Mooney on the sideline. Gorgeous touch, gorgeous touch. and then a totally different kind of throw, hitting Robinson, like really muscling it in there between two levels of defenders, the confidence to let that one fly. I mean, this kid had a really good day. I know it's the Lions. And yeah, I missed David Blow and Chubisky.

But this is going to be fun watching this kid play. I hope. I hope. Because he seems like a great kid. and if he can survive Chicago this year and everything that's been going on the pressure in that city, the uncertainty, he's probably pretty mentally tough too. Bears 2 and 2 at Raiders home Packers, Opportunities. Yeah, you know what?

Maybe we've written the Bears off. Maybe if this kid becomes competitive under center, I think the Packers are human. I'm not saying they're going to trick it off. I mean, not with the addition of Randall Cobb, a totally different team now. One sack for Robert Quinn. Oh, that's three and a half on the year.

How about Quinn getting back in the wind column there? Quinn, who back surgery kind of slowed his career down, but Hall of Fame trajectory, if he hadn't gotten hurt, three and a half this year already, good for him. He can still roll. Him and Mac rushing next to each other, very underrated duo.

People forgot about Mac, dude. I swear to you, people just like, For God about Khalil Mack. Like he's not still one of the baddest men on the planet. So let's get to Mike Sando, another one of the baddest men on the planet. Used to cover me in St. Louis, and now he does a bunch of stuff. Namely, talk about the NFC West at a high level. Two great games.

camera. He used to grill me with the tough questions, the toughest questions in Rams locker rooms back in the day. He was the NFC West guy. Mike was Chris as big an asshole a decade ago as he is right now? I think he's really rounding into form on that. I mean, he was just getting started.

you know, his family's pretty cool and so he had to overcome that. Yeah, it was a big overcome story. They're actually doing an E-60 on it. Mike, you catch Mike at the athletic. He's got the football GM pod. That's on Saturdays via the athletic football show. And there's a whole lot else that Mike Sando does.

And I think he's just one of the best. So we're really appreciative that he's taking time, half time of that big ball game to talk to us about a little NFC West and a little everything around the league. Like, we were just talking offline. If you had to pick one Super Bowl, and we're at the 4th, 17th mark of the season, you know, the first quarter just sounded a lot cooler. But if there's one Super Bowl that you'd really like to see, it would be the most fun to watch,

what would it be? Yeah. Today's results, notwithstanding. How about an all-L.A. Super Bowl with Justin Herbert and the Chargers against, you know, the Rams, because you'd have the great Staley McVeigh. You know, they're all, like, friendly and public, but, like, they didn't agree to do training camp together this year. You know, there's, there's competitiveness there, you know, and I think there's competitiveness for that market. And the Rams have kind of looked down their noses a little bit at the Chargers.

You know, they couldn't fill those little stadiums. And yet, Chargers have Herbert, you know. It's kind of like it's on in that market a little bit. Maybe not for the fans yet. But if Herbert elevates them and sort of becomes the next great thing. and it's better than Stafford. I think that would just be an awesome matchup. Yeah,

make, what do you got? Two young quarterbacks, Borough Fields, Bengals Bears. You are an asshole. Hey, that's a combined five and three,

Bengals Bears. You're right. They're hot. Mike, these teams are hot. Mike took my answer. You say 10 years from now. We said this year, you know?

Yeah, no, you took my answer. Rams Chargers, those colors. Oh, yeah, yeah, I mean, we have to approve.

Beautiful. Let's not do what we did today in the uni with the Rams I don't like the blue on blue. They have so many better options. What about, have the Chargers fans showed up? Has it been like an authentic Chargers crowd there? Has it been like a transient kind of thing?

I actually don't know that. I haven't been there yet to see them. It's crazy. I mean, but I haven't even been going to games with the pandemic. Right, right, right. It seems loud. It seems like it's been packed. I mean, yeah, no, you're like huge.

Raider fans. Did they have, did they have, Did they have a Raider crowd? I thought they sprinkled in a little bit of the Raider crowd. Maybe the cameras knew where to pan to make it look like there were still like a black hole. Yes. They have the celebrities. You know, you have the guy Fierreys, but you also have the, you know, the dude with the painted face and the spikes on his shoulders.

Rocco. Probably. Oh, you don't know his name. What about the Bills and the Cardinals? This is very reactive. I said something a couple weeks ago and I got killed for it. I said, Kyler could be, and people, you know, when they take, they quote you and they don't put the emphasis on the syllable there. I said he could be if he fixes a couple things a game, the best football player on the planet, at least the most scary football player on the planet.

You know how Lamar had that run? This could be Kyler's window. And I wonder if you agree. It's hard to argue with how it's looking right now. You know, and I thought he played pretty well last year and then he got hurt. So really the concern for him is just, you know, we've sort of all adjusted to seeing somebody that small playing the position. It was kind of distracting the first couple of years. You know, you're like, geez, this guy is way smaller than everybody.

And you're a little bit afraid for him. And last year of the second half of the year, he was hurt. So, and, you know, Kingsbury's teams haven't exactly been great finishers, right? You go back to college. So that's really what it is. It's sort of a macro big picture concern for them. I think when he's healthy and going, there was inconsiderate. consistency last year, you know, some ups and downs, but he looks pretty good to me. And he makes

some spectacular throws. Yeah. He's not just somebody who you only have to worry about, you know, like when he throws, you're worried too. Yes. So, you know, I think I love that about him. And, you know, he took a little bit of a rap too this last off season, like when you talk to people in the league, kind of like questioning his makeup a little bit. What I mean by that is traditionally the quarterbacks in this league have been possessed. Right. There's serious Russell Wilson's and Drew Brees. And like they're working out right now after the game. You know what I mean? Yeah. And kind of sort of projects this, you know, yeah, maybe I would give baseball a go.

You know, it's cool. It's sort of a younger generation thing. And I think it has rubbed some of the critics the wrong way and they haven't bought in on him. But he's showing maybe, right? I mean, he's showing this year some of those throws. their highlight reel, Chris, this year could be some people's season highlight reel. I'd be the St. Louis Rams highlight reel for about eight years there. No, Steve Kime, too, deserves a lot of credit. I mean, like, they have really built a nice program there. Well, another guy who has a ton of critics is Cliff. This week for the Cliff haters, is it going to be what you said?

Yeah, but just wait. He won't finish. So I was on an Arizona radio show last week, and they were 3-0, you know, so you don't always know when you're going on some, you know, market what they're going to ask about. The first question was, because they're going to play the Rams, hey, how much better would the Cardinals be if McVeigh was their coach instead of Cliff? And I was just like, they're 3-0. They've scored 30 points in every game, you know, but they had been 0-4 against the Rams.

And so, you know, Kingsbury can't buy benefit of the doubt. I think this buys them some. I feel like that was a great win against the Rams to really pour it on them. And they had like 200 yards rushing and 460 yards or something. They were, they rolled them. And here's the ridiculous irony to me is that like the McVeigh does all that work. I think he was like 8 and 0 or whatever against the Cardinals. He did it all with Jared Gough.

And then you get your sports car in the garage and you can't keep up with the guys in the desert. So that division's hard to figure out. But I feel like the Cardinals, listen, they played San Francisco tough. Like they beat them, you know, in years past. They've always played Seattle tough. Seattle doesn't like seeing them up there even. And this is the last piece of the puzzle there. Now, I'm not saying they now have the Rams number,

but if they feel like they can beat these guys, why not? You know, this could be their division. If their D-line keeps this up the whole year, you know, because you forget, Janet Janor Jones is coming back. They've mixed in J.J. A lot. They have a couple other guys in there that are probably a little bit underrated. And, you know, their secondary is supposed to be vulnerable.

But that's like all the teams. I mean, it's hard to find corners right now. So I think they're right in it. And they were right in it last year until Kather got banged up. So I think it's a great division to watch, especially with 49ers losing. And, you know, Garapolo's banged up again. And, Tray Lanzas hardly played. and, you know, there's an opening here.

Look, Seattle won that game today. They had like 230 yards. They were two for 10 on third down. They didn't look good. I mean, Russell Wilson made two magic plays. I don't think they're well, dude. I don't think that I don't trust the Seahawks. Last week I declared that I'm quitting betting the Seahawks.

I'm one week sober betting the Seahawks. It's just too unpredictable. I mean, at least now they have two running backs. This is a new look for them to have that kind of depth that they showed in the second half. Yeah, I actually like Alex Collins. I mean, I think he gives them a little bit of a dynamic. He's the guy who did the like forward somersault into the end zone today. It was pretty nice.

Yeah. And then, you know, Russell's Russell. I would think with their new offense, you know, that maybe there's a little bit of a growing process here. They've been lights out in first halves today. They were terrible in the first half and really not even great in the second half. But maybe that evens out takes a little bit of time. I think they have decent talent there.

Defensively, I, you know, I, you know, I don't love where they're at and don't 100% trust they're going to get to where they need to be. Yeah, I think week one was a major pump fake. They got a lot done in pass for us. They look pretty stingy. And it just hasn't been the same for them. I mean, how about Trey Lance?

What are we looking at with this Jimmy G injury? I know it's early, but it's a calf, right? I mean, calf injuries are squirrely and they stick around a while. And I wonder what, you know,

if there was a plan for college, Shanahan, what the plan's been as far as developing Trey, has it always been, let's use him in spots, and now is he going to be forced off track on that plan? Well, he's hardly had any reps as part of the package. It wasn't like they were bringing in for 10 plays a game or six plays a game. You know, it was a player two there. And today he comes in and throws a touchdown pass right away, but it was a complete busted coverage. Seattle had, I think Sidney Jones has barely been there a week or two or three or something.

And I think it was him. He just wasn't there. and so then it looked tough the rest of the way. So Shanahan, it was interesting. If you just sort of put your finger on the pulse of 49 or Twitter, and, you know, they've had one winning year there, you know, and I think people are getting a little impatient that follow that team. And so if Tray Lance doesn't come in and look good,

I assume he's got a chance to start if Barapolo's not right, I think it's going to turn on him a little bit in the court of public opinion. And so we'll see how it goes. It hasn't looked good for some of these other rookie quarterbacks when they've gone in. That's so interesting. Yeah, I mean, we make that point a lot. I just feel like that their outlier year was so spectacular that I think people have kind of overvalued them in the wake of that. And, you know, they've had depth and health issues. You know, the depth is certainly as a result of that. And I want to be fair to them. They have some great players. But, you know, I was in Philly today for the game. And I feel like that,

crowd because they played the Niners close a couple weeks ago took a major victory out of a game like that because they're overvaluing the Niners. So yeah, I mean, you got to be careful using the Niners as a barometer for being on the move. How about a team that kind of had a similar meteoric rise by way of like Lamar Jackson taking over the league in the Baltimore Ravens? Are they kind of stuck? Is there anything they can do to improve? I mean, they seem like they are on the downside of that. Yeah, I think it's just going to only get harder for them because, remember, they're going to pay Lamar too, right?

I mean, he's an MVP. He makes everything go for them. And, you know, he's made strides here or there, whatever. But I feel like their identity is so wrapped up in his ability to run and them that I don't know that they're going to just develop into a cohesive passing attack. Now, Hollywood Brown did lay out and make an amazing catch today for a touch. down, but he was open by 15 yards. It should have been caught in stride, right? Right.

So, you know, I don't know if they're going to draft receivers their way out of being who they are. And who they are isn't bad. I mean, but I think it's reliant on a style of play. And then defensively, they've taken some hits. And then, like I said, they're going to pay Lamar. So they're not going to be able to add the Marcus Peterses of the world at a big price tag, right? And they've had a little tradition on the offensive line. they traded injury here or there. I think they're stuck in being good

and are going to have a hard time becoming great. Yeah, and it only gets tougher once you pay the quarterback. And I wonder what kind of money he would be commanding. I mean, if kind of the pace of his play continued through the rest of the season. Yeah, I mean, they won the game today. I think he's been fine.

Yeah, I think it's been fine. Yeah, exactly right. Yeah. Like in Detroit, you should have probably had a bunch more production because the guy. His buddy. His buddy kept dropping the ball. I mean, a wide open touchdown.

So that's why he threw that ball so far out ahead of him. He wanted to build his confidence. It was one of those things like, hey, we need like a spectacular catch to wipe last week. Totally. Could have punted it to him, you know. Exactly. Yeah, I worry about them. When you've got an MVP caliber guy, you accentuate him with Villanueva.

the running back, is it Murray? Yeah. And Sammy Watkins, that's your big three. I mean, those are your free agency buys. And it's only going to get harder. It's kind of a bummer for Lamar. How about the Steelers? We just talked about them standing in division.

What the hell do you do? Like, if you're running that organization, they kind of seem like a playoff team in a lot of areas, but they're kind of not a playoff team because of the quarterback and his lack of mobility and the way he matches up with the offensive line. What do you do? Do you stick with Ben? Do you make a move? No, I mean, I think you stick with Ben, but I mean, I think, look,

the GM's been going to year to year there on his contract. I mean, I think there's going to be a lot of people bailing out of there. You know, I think this will be Ben's last year. But they've, you know, what they've done offensively is, is gotten away from the sort of name coordinators who are going to get in your face if you're Ben, Rothesburg, the whiz and hunts, the Haley's, right? Those guys have some skins on the wall. They've been to Super Bowls.

They're going to tell you how the offense is played, right? And they've kind of gone to guys that, you know, I don't know, have that pedigree. And so here you are probably trying to build the offense the way Rodsberger wants it to some degree. He's doing what he wants to do. And then your offensive line a few years ago, they all got old at once. Right. Those guys, pouncy, you know, Ramone Foster, Villanueva, they were good, but they've replaced them with a bunch of young guys, and then they haven't hit on those guys like Green Bay has. Green Bay has worked in young guys.

Elgin's Jenkins is suddenly good. You know, some of these other guys they got starting as rookies look pretty good. They've sort of weathered it even without Bactiaria, their left tackle. So that contrast, I kind of wrote about that on Saturday. It was just like, at this stage of Ben's career, he needs sort of what Green Bay has, right? He needs a Devante Adams. He needs Antonio Brownback. He needs a good line. It has to be really right and perfect around him. And then you might get moments from him, but they can't ride him at this stage. I mean, that seems clear. And it was clear last year.

Especially when the thing that made him great for years and we hit this last week is his strength. I mean, he shake off 270-pound men. He'd escape, collapse pockets and throw the ball 40 yards down the field. I mean, that's what made him great. And when that goes, it's really hard to replicate that magic. So if you can't run the ball, which, Do you get the Najee Harris draft pick any more or less than you did? Yeah, I don't want to presume you didn't get it, but.

I actually really liked him. Yeah. And I think there's a certain point in the first round where if you really think you're getting a special back, like I'm not going to get all mad about it. Yeah. Like I don't like it when teams are in the top 10 and five and doing it unless it's like McCaffrey or somebody who changes your offense. But I think when you start to look at the back half of the first round,

there's a lot of players that miss in there. A high percentage. So would you rather have Najee Harris or some safety who barely gets on the field and isn't any good and is out of off your team in three years? Because that's the alternative a lot of the time. And I think Harris is probably going to be a good back for his whole rookie contract, right? They just don't have, unless you don't like them. Am I wrong?

No, I'm not anti-Nazi Harris. As a football player, if I'm Najee Harris, I maybe wish I got drafted somewhere else. It's going to be tough sledding. Oh, I agree with that too. I think it is going to be tough sledding for that. But yeah, from a Steelers standpoint, I was like, I kind of looked at that at the time, and I was like, okay, the other positions that they needed, like, if you would have taken the guys there, you might not be like getting some of them.

Yeah, sometimes you got to take best available, even if you're not ready to accentuate that player's skill set. How about Dallas? They look good. I'm not going to, I don't want to go on a limb. My take coming in a day was that Carolina, they just hadn't played anybody defensively, and we made a big deal about that, and Zeke got going. You know, they gave up more yards on the ground today, and I think they did the entire season on the ground.

And so I wonder if, you know, today or what we've seen so far with Dallas is fluky or do you really believe this group? I've always been a Dallas skeptic because of the structure of your organization. I think it's hard to coach the team when your GM's like that, you're your owner is like that and commenting all the time. And I thought there's setups weird with McCarthy being there, but there's a different play caller. However, however, I think that's really good.

And I think he's the right leader for their team. I think he's been good in two-minute in those types of situations already. I think he's come back really well from that injury. I think Kellen Moore does a pretty good job. They have some talent on offense. And so I think they're going to be in the mix. So I think defensively last year was just a terrible fit, you know, of the coordinator of what they had and no camp,

or abbreviated off season. I think this defense, they can actually play. You know, and it may not be spectacular, but it's going to be decently sound. So I think they're going to be in the mix and you're going to win that division. I was skeptical coming into the year, wasn't sure what DAC was going to look like,

but I think you've got to say now, after seeing them and the rest of that division, I mean, who else are you going to take in that division? They're one game ahead of Washington, but I feel like they're, they're light years ahead of Washington. Yeah, I mean, Washington's Eking out games against Atlanta right now, which is not good. Do you think the Dan Quinn thing?

Like, you know, Atlanta, they really struggled defensively, kind of fell apart and everybody goes, oh, defensive head coach. Like, how could it be? I think sometimes these guys need to keep things simple and not have to reside over all these responsibilities as the head coach. And it doesn't reflect their skill set as play callers. And I think Dan Quinn just seems like to be happy to be back doing what he loves. I agree.

I really like Dan Quinn, just as... Yeah, I think if I was a player, that's a huge stretch. But I think I would like to play for somebody like Dan Quinn. I think he's a win-in-your-sales type of guy, right? And I think he knows what he's doing, right? I mean, he has a system they want to play. And we'll see how good that system is when you get into bigger, more important games, and you get schemed and you have to scheme somebody else.

But for now, they're just not affordable on defense, right? And that's what they were. They couldn't, they're scoring 30 points last year and losing the game. So I feel like they're sound there and what they're trying to do. They've got the quarterback. And I'm more excited about the Cowboys than I've been for a while. You hear that?

We got a Cowboy Skeptic, excited about the Cowboys. I don't know if that's exciting for people listening to Philly. So I apologize, guys. We'll try to keep the Cowboys praise to a minimum. Mike Sandow, again, you can find him at the Athletic, and he's got the Football GM podcast. Yeah, Mike? We do Saturdays, me and Randy Mueller.

Okay, cool, awesome. At Sando NFL. At Sando NFL, he is one of the best, and I love to read his stuff to this day, even when he used to just write mean things about our defense, which were all true. Bust. Well, bust for a year and a half. 100 things of the ranch problems back then. Yeah, we need to dig it.

We need to unearth some of those old articles, man. Mike, thank you very much. Thanks for joining us, very gracious of you, and have a great week. Thank you.

Gambling problem, call 1-800-270-7-1-17. Yeah, about Randall Cobb. I'm starting my victory lap. Two touchdowns today in the red zone. You want to know why Aaron Rogers went like fucking Helen of Troy?

Or what do you go? You don't go Helen of Troy. Do you remember Milhley from French in action? No, what? You didn't take French in like seventh grade, eighth grade, Madame Boulle? No, dude. Madame McGuire?

No. All right. Don't like France. Whoa. Yeah, not really into it. What? They don't like us? I don't really like fair.

No, that's fair. Fair as fuck. So Randall Cobb, two red zone touchdowns today, two tuds in the red zone. Aaron Rogers loves Randall Cobb because Randall Cobb knows how to get loose in the back of the end zone. When the play breaks down,

as it often does in the red zone with Aaron Rogers, climb in the pocket, shuffling right, it can't just be Devante Adams hanging out by the pylon, getting ready to fall over and make a, you know, tight catch in traffic.

They know who that guy is. Randall Cobb plays Scramble Drill really well. I feel like this is part of the reason why Aaron went Paris. He went Brad Pitt. Do you remember Mette? Mielwe from French in Action. We had a special teams coach in St. Louis back in the day. Whenever we were getting ready to play the Bears, he'd go,

Hester! It's true story. I probably not can keep that in. I don't get the reference, but context clues Well, Hector, Brad Pitton in that movie, Troy, runs out and he wants to fight this guy named Hector,

so he just yells, Hector! Guys know to guard big Bob Tunyon these days, so Randall might be useful. Randall is useful. That's why fucking Aaron went, he went like just, you know,

well, it was a lot of other stuff too, but it was mostly about Randall Cobb. By the way, that Jimmy G. G. Caff, those things hang around one. One time I had a calf, like, okay, there was a guy named Sammy Brown. He strained his calf in St. Louis. He was one of the best pass wrestlers I've ever seen. Played to Houston.

Just could never stay healthy. Could never get like the brakes, stayed practice squad. But he would beat everybody in practice. He had a calf injury for two years. I used to laugh at him. Until I strained my calf in New England, that thing was there until the day I retired, bro. I had a tight calf for two years, man. got to be careful with those calves man jimmy j you got to be careful you got to rest that thing you

got to you got to take your time with a calf is that like an ear that pops after a while you just wake up one day and your calf is no longer strained yeah sort of like that no no i had to retire had to retire had to retire my calf to untitin um but the philly man the philly event that you loved it you had a great time yeah yep yep watched on you like the live stream Watch it on the live stream. I thought you did a great job. Who was the guy next to me? Les Bowen.

What did he say? Lots of stuff, you know. What he said. How'd the live stream look aesthetically? Really good, I'd say. Strong, they're quite strong? Yeah. What did you think of our chairs?

Not great. Chairs weren't great. Chairs were the worst part of it for me. Really? But the content was great. Yeah. Raising money for charity is one of my favorite things to do. In fact, I did some of it my own last week.

Hey, thanks to y'all who did pop on the live stream today. That was really cool to have some people, like, tune in. I know the Philly stuff gets old, but we've got such great fans there, so we go up there to raise money and we'll do more live streams. We will. We're going to do, like we said, fourth quarter, asterix of every game, the rest of the season, Sunday night football, me and Macon, two best friends just watching football.

There's nothing else I'd rather be doing. like watching downton reruns with my dog for instance here was the thing about a lot of the people I met in Philly they were like where the fuck's Macon or tell Macon we said we wish he was here there was a guy at the concert when we went to Stapleton concert

first thing we did first off we'll talk about how great the show was this guy totally normal looking guy you know like tall handsome guy you know they're normal people. They look normal. Handsome guy. Tall handsome guy.

You know, like beautiful family, that type of thing. Normal guy. Loved our podcast. I was like, you sure about that? That's good. That's great. He talked to length about it. His name's Mike. Shout out to Mike. Mike really likes our podcast. Well, once a step further, Dr. Kingston got Mike's digits and passed them along to me. So I don't think I'm going to do much of anything with them, but I have them.

So you guys must have had a rip-roaring old night. It feels like we, I don't know if we made it or we're kind of fucked. When you go to a Chris Stapleton concert in Camden and the guy in front of you is like, it's his favorite podcast. That's awesome. Well, it's good. It's good or it's not good depending on how you look at it. Very good. Well, it's terrifying to be honest.

You never know who knows you pretty well personally. Yeah. Right about that. But, as you know, but that show was great. Great. And Kingston and Taylor had never really gotten into like Chris Stapleton, I guess. Dorks. 10 out of 10? 10 out of 10. I'm getting nods. Taylor was back there. Taylor was standing next to me like just. Easily 10 out of 10. And Marcus King out of this world.

So Marcus King opened for Chris Stapleton. Marcus King is a legend in his own right. The kid's like 25. He's an incredibly old soul. and he's got just this presence man and he kicked ass opening for Chris Stapleton but listen we got hooked up for some nice seats or whatever through Live Nation shout out to Bill shout to Mike Grozier those guys are awesome and shout out to Tom as well from Live Nation but they give us wristbands and you know you get wristbands

bands you're like we're not that like we get to a back bar or something and when the show let out, I'm fried, the lights come on. You know, I'm just, my face is melted. I'm exhausted because Chris Stapleton, to like keep your energy up for a concert like that, kudos to him and to Morgan. Like, they bring it like no other. And I don't know about you, Ree,

but afterwards I just had nothing left. My face was melted. The lights come on. And so I want to just go to the back, use these wristbands. let the ubers clear out let's have a beer and then leave when it's quiet we go to the back it's a nice little setup it's a nice room live nation has the thing like set up back there and it immediately looks like a place you have to be special to be like you know guys in nice cool like hats and leather jackets and you know hipster clothes and it's an open bar we didn't belong there we didn't belong and we

We found out it was an open bar after I offered to buy that round. This was funny. Reed, I bought Reed drinks earlier and we get back into the clearly private party that the wristbands granted us access to at least temporarily. We think we're about to get kicked out because like it's got that whole feel to it. And Reid's like, walk it up. He's like, I got this round. And he goes to give the car and the lady's like, it's on the house.

You're in a private party, the cowboy there. You guys were like a little super bad crew. Yeah, we were kind of like high school kids. Yeah. But we were back there and we didn't belong, right? And the security guy who's super cool is starting to make the rounds. He's like, hey, just want you to know, Chris, like, they're probably going to be kicking people out soon.

I'm like, listen, man, we were just here to get some cover and we're going to roll out. Anyways, this nice guy named Tom, who's his 50th birthday party walks up and he's like, cool as hell. And he's like, hey, man, you don't have to leave. You guys should stay. And I said, why not? because you know what I heard that was happening? Marcus King was playing a fucking acoustic set

in front of 30 people in the back, bro. And when I tell you, like, I know you're probably sitting here like, how great the opener for Chris Stapleton is playing the acoustic set. He's not any opener. Okay, I'm just making sure. This guy is the next big thing.

If he wants to be, you know, he could do whatever he wants. This guy was amazing. And when you lean in and listen to lyrics to Marcus King's songs, man, this guy really is a poet. He really is a songwriter, dude. He is a, he's awesome.

But Chris Stapleton was great. I think he did Freebird into devil name music, which was just killer. Like, I mean, and also kind of a song about being crazy and then a song about slowing down and missing your kids. And I identify with the latter very much. So I love that song, Devil Name Music. He killed it. They both killed it. There was a sick transition.

He played about the whole entire travel. album. Which is great. I was really excited about that. My one gripe again was that there was no death row. I was going to be like the free bird guy in the crowd. I was like the free bird guy's death row. Nobody wanted death row. But I was there and Fletcher was over there on the other side of the stadium which Fletcher, that's how cool fill he is. He's not getting mobbed. Everybody knows who he is. He's standing there watching the show. Death Row is a song me and Fletch used to listen to before we went out and I just wanted to hear death row. I love death row. But it's probably a little slow pace for that environment.

But suffice to say we had a great night, an awesome night. I mean, that was one of the best concerts I've probably ever been to, and that's not recency bias. It's not because I haven't been to a big show in two years. It's because Chris Stapleton brought it. Chris and Morgan brought it. And whoever it is, the guy that was on steel pedal back there, guys from Detroit, he's a legend, right?

I was just, this dude, I was just enamored with him. It's my favorite sound in music. Because you know it's cool at the end of the show. He gets everybody's attention, starts Tennessee whiskey. And he knows he's getting everybody's attention because it's everybody's favorite song. And then he like gives it up for everybody in the band before he finishes the show.

I see him do it like two, three shows now. But the dude in the back, legend. I mean, the whole group was awesome. That was a great night. Saturday night was great. We hung out with Seleck. I hung out with Seleck. Legerrett, Jeremy Macklin,

Shady was in town, a good little reunion. I saw Brian Westbrook, a bunch of guys. Freddie Mitchell. So getting back in town in Philly, you don't realize how much you missed that in the environment. It was awesome. We got recognized in the first quarter. We did the, I don't know what to do with my hands thing,

where me, Brent, and LG kind of walked out there and timeout and, you know, they cheer a little bit, but not too much. You know what I mean? It's a wave Typically just a wave Yeah we did a lot We did a lot We did wave spin

We did like a little that You know Yeah like a little that Stolen valor No no it's not stolen valor Yeah You never saluted anybody Nah I don't like to steal valor

Well you don't do this If you do the if you do the The wrist You know the real Oh like what you would do after you did a quarterback sack Well we did that you know why It's gonna be awkward for you Because you were saluting a troop

Salute to service week. Yeah, I love the troops. As do I. Yeah, I'm sure. But it was a fun day. It wasn't so fun for the Eagles because they had to play Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs. And listen, I'm not going to overanalyze this game. This game to me was about not scoring points in the red zone. I mean, it's so simple. I mean, if you get down there and the Eagles move the ball, I was sitting on the sideline with Legerrett and with Seleck before the game. And it was the first possession.

and we were down there waiting for the time out, and the Eagles got down to like the, I don't know, four yard line or something or whatever it was. It was fourth in a few yards. It's the first possession. What are you doing that situation? Fourth and three or whatever it was.

Go for it. You go for it. You're playing Chiefs. The thing we talked about with the bills, thing we always talk about is like, you have to make the most of your possessions against the Chiefs. And LG and Selleck,

both thought kick the field goal. You got to take the points. Bill Belichick felt the same way. Fourth and three. Yeah, well, maybe I'm the wrong one, but I feel like when you're playing the Chiefs, you have to score touchdowns. They have multiple touchdowns called back. They, they, you know, had false starts. They had mistakes, self-inflicted penalties, like Josh Sweat, off-sides on third down. Like, they made a lot of mistakes today. And that's the type of game that's frustrating, because you're tantalizing close to playing with the team that everybody thinks is really fucking good, even if they're not that great yet.

Really tough way to lose because they're human. And it's like one of those games where you say, and this isn't just the Eagles, whoever lines up to play the Chiefs now, you better realize they're very human. Don't wait to the second quarter to figure that out. You got to take advantage. And we walked out of the stadium

and we were walking through the concourse and LG said to me he was like dude you were right there was no way to keep up with them without scoring touchdowns and I just felt like that was the key to the game now Jalen Hertz made some nice throws they got Miles Sanders more involved

more tight ends I mean Dallas Godder had a nice day Zach Gertz got a touchdown call back on a on a pick player OPI but they look better offensively they got a finish and they're probably not going to be an important team this year, just by virtue of the situations they have with injuries. But I got to say,

the offense looks at the very least exciting in the future, Devante Smith, Rager, you know, Quez, Miles Sanders, Dallas Goddert, whatever happens with Zach. It's all about Jalen. If the season ended today, the Eagles would have the fifth, seventh, eighth picks in the 2021 NFL draft. Another thing is it was all about Tyree kill for LG. Ligar it was sitting there. Ligarin had Tyreekill in fantasy. And Tyreeks scored four touchdowns today, I think. And one of them got called back.

He could have had four. He ended up with three. It was funny watching LG squirm in the luxury suite on the sideline among like Eagles fans. Every time Tyree scored a touchdown, he just looked back and be like, I don't know what to do. Everybody struggles with that. Fantasy above all else.

Yeah. well, not above all else, but... Well, yeah. Well, that's bad news for you. You might be getting a new car. Nah, dog. You seen Conrath? Can we look real quick before we sign off?

Hey, my win probability is 96%. By the way, give the Raiders and the Chargers the Bevel Conway for this week, actually. Yeah, let's hope. Well, see what they roll out. Your tonight, our tomorrow night. Yeah, 96% win. probability. Let's see. You've already won the game. It's 100%.

100%. Last thing here, final standings projections. You are picked to finish ninth. You and the lizard kings. Can duke it out for that for that, uh, for that beater. Yeah. A couple names to, to throw by you. I guess you're a big root for injury guy. Logan Thomas, hamstring, early. Robbie Gold didn't play. I'm a big family guy. I was with my daughter, you know. Didn't see that. the Wishnowski was going to be missing kicks for the Niners today. I thought that would be a big field goal game.

And of course, uh, most are Judy Guspus. So you're rooting for injuries. I get it. Um, we'll be fine. AJ Brown,

James White. Second straight week, we went two guys under a point. Damn, Debo Samuel. He went off, huh? 35.

Wonder why they're not throwing it to, uh, a yuck. Ooh, close. What is it? Ayuk. I'll get it. Eventually.

Or he'll get targeted. whatever happens first. One last thank you to Marcus Gingrich, who chef us up a beautiful live edge table here. Awesome. At the studio, it is beautiful, it's gorgeous. The whole vibe of this locker room has changed since the table. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
