and the bevy of head coaching fourth-down decisions that happened all day yesterday. You got a lot of go for it's, don't go for it. We'll get into all that. Y'all enjoy this show. And just a reminder, Thursday, 4.30 p.m. Eastern. We are going live. It's the AMP app. You can get it on your phone.

Hey, Chris, why do you? don't you lead us off. You want me to leave you? Five America's teams. Pretty excited about this. Number one team in America, the NFC East, also known as the NFC Beast.

Okay, when you get Dallas, Philly, and New York, and all of the fans there, which are very reasonable people in all three of those cities, like really excited about football. And you get Philly, Dallas, the morning drive bowl,

the first take bowl. Like very rarely does, you know, a game dominate morning drive and first take. Dallas Philly is going to be big this week. NFCs, they're back. Like they never left, number one on my America's team list. Number two, Tennessee.

We're all volunteers this weekend. In fact, if my best buddy Tom did not have a birthday for his kid this weekend, I'm going to Knoxville. Actually, I want to pose a question to the group here. Should I go to Knoxville? Yes. Like instead of... Because I want to go and I can't go.

You need to go. Birthday party. Birthday party. You're choosing. like kids buddy's kids birthday party which I will say this about our friend Tom yeah he has three kids

yes I think he is the only one of our friends who invites us to all three of their birthdays every single year yeah now he has some awareness to this yeah because when he invited me he said I'm so sorry yeah but okay for real I mean we can't be going to birthday parties

when the kid turns three four five six seven they're just gonna keep making babies over there at the podcast so yeah Yes, that kid is going to see like 95 more birthdays. And you never know when you see a, you know, Tennessee is not going to be in the game in Knoxville. So we need, y'all, I don't know about all that. Hey, how about Hendon Hooker?

Just I want to remind everybody one more time, and I'll do it with Nicole later in the show that Hendon Hooker was in Blacksburg. You see the delta between your performance in Blacksburg and somewhere else. Being a hokey doesn't pay. It only pays during the Commonwealth Cup. Hennon Hooker.

Except when you're Hennon Hooker. or who lost to Virginia. There you go. So I'll go Tennessee number two. That's going to be electric this weekend. And you know, hey, Steve with the LSU, early starts, you know, it's tough down in it. No, they won by like 30.

I'll go Bill's number three. Barely anybody watched that game because it was so ugly, so early. Number four here, I'll go the New York Jets. Yeah. The Jets. Good pick.

Shout out to Scott. You know, he was in here yesterday. He couldn't believe it. they're actually pretty good. Joe Douglas, man, has done a great job. He's done a great job. We'll talk more about that when we talk about that game. And then I'm going to go five,

everybody who watched Indy Denver all the way through. Like you are America. Football, you're all ball, man. We are all ball as a nation. I said this on my freezer talk the other day, which is a nice touch, right? When you forget to do it at night, you do it in the freezer in the morning.

Because that's how you keep food cold overnight. Longer. Longer. So, you know, I thought Ashton Coochard was going to pop out and we were going to be punked on Thursday night. Not to go backwards, but sometimes you go backwards, in the words of Matthew McConaughey. Thursday night was so ugly.

It proved that there is no floor for what we will watch in the NFL. And honestly, Roger Goodell has got to be just like licking his chops. He's like, you know, we could do whatever the fuck we want. These people will gobble it up. We will be back in the Chow line this Thursday night to see if Ron Revelling, has a Black Friday coming up if they lose to the Chicago Bears, which is something might happen. No more bet in the commies.

It would be great. My first America's team, the New York Mets, we'll get into, maybe we'll not get into it. Edwin Diaz comes in down four runs. They start playing Timmy Trumpet. That's electric. Biggest spenders in baseball, they're 101 games. They're up by a million.

They're up on the bridge by a million in June, July, August. That's America. That's America. That's America. That's America. I was like, we can spend it. Hey, did you know the 2015 World Series was Royals Mets? I had no idea. You could have given me. I had no idea. They had a huge break in Kansas City. A million years. I mean, I remember they had won one one, but I didn't remember his Mets. They've won a playoff series in four seasons since we've been alive. That's about 37 years. No way. Since they won the 86 World Series.

that was that was I feel for those guys I have no connection to them and I feel for that entire fan base everybody loves the mess it seems like except for us maybe yeah lovable losers yeah Illinois fighting a line on had Diaz playing taps beat Iowa 9 to 6 huge win because of course they they they won 9 to 6 big 10 football yeah enter the top 25 for the first time since 2011 wins over yami Miami Miami Miami dude I think we want to stay. No, it should stay. Because Miami's so fucking big, right? It extends to big sky country. Don't get him started on the Miami the way the city's laid out. Wyoming, Virginia, Chattanooga, Wisconsin, and now Iowa, Illinois, one ranked team left

on the schedule. Look out. They could be in the car quest bowl. What's their damn record? December 27th. They're five and one. Oh, wow. One lost to juggernaut Indiana.

Could you imagine if they just didn't lose to the Hoosiers? I mean, maybe they're a playoff team. Hey, who the hell is their coach? Brett Bilema? Yeah. Just, man. Give a guy here. Rose Bowl.

Give a guy here. Rose Bowl. Yeah, Rose Bowl. My third America's team, the NFL. Safety first. We don't care so much about the logo on the side of the helmet, but the brain inside. Yep.

The logo on the side of the. These concussion spotters are just, they're on the ball. Binoculars everywhere. Teddy Bridgewater had the most unfortunate timing for getting slams in turf of all time. Like not only are you following two a week later as an NFL player, but like you're on the dolphins, bro. Like you're not coming back out.

And so then the Jetsby is Skylar Thompson, who of course played Walter White's wife in the hit series Breaking Bad. I had a Skylar joke too. We got time. Yeah. We got plenty of time. Hey, Skyler. Did he feed you that?

No, dog. Skylar was 15 picks clear of being Mr. Irrelevant in last year's draft. Do you think you would recognize a player drafted after Schuyler Thompson? No. Answer is you would. Isaiah Pacheco. Oh, Pacheco. Fun fact.

Fun fact. Fun fact. My fourth America's team, the Houston Texans, they won. They're off the Schneide, they're 1 3-1. They're outgained 422 to 248, but no turnovers, 25 penalty yards on their way to 313. and one. Nine straight against the Jags, dude. Yeah.

That's a winning streak. And easy money. Plus seven, plus seven and a half. That was easy. That was lucrative. And finally, Cooper Rush,

102 yards passing, minus one yard rushing, undefeated. He's America's team? He is my fifth America's teams. Okay, all right. And he's created a wicked fun week,

probably a couple of fun weeks, probably a fun rest of the season with this quarterback controversy for the Dalish Cowboys. The Dallas. Wyoming's. My America's teams. Number one, you've got to go with JMU,

top 25 team for the first time ever. Did you get that? Illinois was kind of a jam you dig. The Illinois pick was kind of a jam you dig. We're not finished pitching here. We're not finished pitching here. So top 25 first time ever. And it's a team obviously living in Virginia.

You never take them seriously growing up here as like a big football team. It's either Virginia or Virginia Tech. And then as of You know, I played with a guy named Earl Watford. Shout out to Earl Watford from Jamie. He was always like, we will beat y'all's ass if we beat y'all being UVA. We will beat the dog shit out of any team in Virginia. And as of late, they've done just that.

They're my number one. To be fair, they literally haven't beaten us this year. Go ahead and look at their schedule, their season versus ours. We're all on the same team. Deepest state in America when it comes to college football, the Commonwealth. So we're all winning here. I'm talking shit about all the Virginia teams not named James. cable news you're trying to divide us

TCU number two I'm picking there's going to be a theme here TCU number two Purple teams. What purple teams? Okay Alabama number three Big win over who? The Aggies. This is the theme here. Everybody in Texas

not named Texas A&M is on my America's team and and cracking the list is going to be the Dallas Cowboys Now's the run of Now's the run of Texas team. There we go. Okay.

Now there's a run of Texas teams, much like there was a lot of guards in his draft. Also, I'd like to give a shout out to University of Texas, San Antonio, a young football program. The first program to offer me a scholarship out of junior college. Really? In their maiden voyage as a college football team. Did you think about it? I did, actually.

They had sweet amenities. They had a big influx of dollars. Yeah. And now they're like a big team. Oil. Oil. Yeah, exactly. Well, what's more American than oil?

Tobacco? There we go. Tobacco. Yeah. We got that on us. Guns. Yeah. Not in the building.

Yeah. Okay. Is that America's teams? I also want to shout out the Mississippi Department of Human Services. They're on the bench for us. They're on our bench. We still want to know what's happening with Brett Favre.

And then Seattle, the Mariners, man. You know, to dovetail nicely with your Toronto Blue Jays. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The big dumper versus the cheaters coming up. How about the ass on that guy, huh? Big old dumper.

Yeah, I mean, that dude, you might know the guy on YouTube who stuffs his khaki shorts. It's hilarious. Yeah, thank you. Nobody else is running down the street. I don't know, just the ass guy. He's like a paparazzi around him that is hired by him. He makes so, he, he's monetized his fake ass. Big dumpers is the only one with an ass like that.

What company is he wearing? I don't know. Dockers? I don't know, he gets in the ring with UFC guys, gets knocked out. It's incredible. Yeah. Unless there's an alternate pronunciation that will make me sound silly, the first name of Cal really screws people up trying to say Raleigh.

Yeah, it does. Everyone says Raleigh. The problem is because it's baseball. And you think Raleigh, it's like a Freudian slip. Cal Raleigh. Cal Raleigh. All right, it was alumni weekend in Charlottesville this weekend. I saw you at a, we...

Went to a tailgate. Yeah. We ran into it. Bro, and here's the deal. The onus is. on you to text me when you're leaving the house because I'm always leaving the house. You're never leaving the house. So when I run into you

at a tailgate, it's half excitement and it's half like, hey asshole. Yeah, it is. It is. I go to Virginia games though. Just bank on me being at the Virginia game. No matter the record of the club. No, it's funny. When we're within 50 yards, people like start ushering me towards you. Yeah, yeah. Chris is right over here.

He's right there. Here, let me take you to Chris. He's right there. That's what I want to do. That's what I want to do is see Chris. I know the guy. You don't listen to the show, do you? A lot of time to go. Don't really like the guy. Hey.

Along the UVA football game line, I called Chris during the UVA game because my flight to New York, unbeknownst to me, left 45 minutes earlier than I usually leave on Saturday. So I was late to the airport. I parked in two-hour parking. Yeah. I texted Chris and I said, do you know who tows from the airport? And he was like, your car is going to be safe at Collier's towing.

Yeah, dude, just think about it. If you can get over the fact that it's toad, it's in the, it's, but I got back, you know, moral of the story, I got back, I just had a ticket. Can I tell you something about the Virginia game? When? Makin was drunk. Were you? He was, he was having a good day, dude.

He was, he was having a good day. It's okay to be. Were you stuffing emotions or were you celebrating? He's just, all the air came out of this room. I mean, God forbid the guy has some sauce on a Saturday to medicate us losing to Louisville. Look, blown a 10-0 lead. I like you when you're a little tipsy, dude.

Thank you. Yeah, it's one of my top five makins. Oh, what are the other four? America's makins. I like that. Number one, tipsy Macon. Number two, making with some pee on his khakis. Number three, Macon when he sells me a house.

Or sells my house. Number four, Macon on the road, when we pass each other on the road. I love that, making. Don't have to talk to him. Yeah, number five. Matt, help me out. Do we have another making here? I like sports fan making.

Sports fan making. Oh, I like tennis betting making. Me too. Tennis betting making is one of my favorite. Unless I listen to him. Anti-JMU. Macon. Also,

shout out to Burke Kreisher, went to the show Friday night, invited you, Kyle, but some shit was going on. Yeah, but Macon didn't invite you. Yeah, and somebody else said they went.

I was like, oh, I really liked that guy. Would have been nice to know he was in town. Yeah. Two bears, one cave. Two bears one cave.

You and me, it's like two bears, two caves. Two bears, two caves. He's in, they're in the middle of sober October. Do you think you guys could do sober October? Oh, absolutely.

And they do 100 pushups a day. That was the thing that I think I would struggle with. Did I smoke? 100 pushups a day. No, you got to be sober. I'm good. I'm good. I feel like I would go crazy.

I would have all these like tour events booked and then I would just miss it because of anxiety because I couldn't get stuff. Or because you didn't check your flight and it's usually at this time. Yeah. But today it's at that time. Creature of habit. Yeah. So anyways,

I met Bert after the show. He was super cool. I want to thank him. Not that he listens to the podcast. but a really nice guy. He took a lot of time with people, man. Like, it's nice when you meet people to see how they treat the folks backstage

and whatever, and it's not like he was punching a clock. He was really, like, engaged with everybody. So the reason I brought up Van Wilder, maybe the reason it was on my brain this morning was they made the movie Van Wilder after him. He was like the party god down there at Florida State. He walked so you could run for a semester. Yes, shout out to Bert.

And, I mean, he always talks about how good time he had. Bert was like the fish with little legs and you were like the homo sapiens. I got shot down early in my flight. Yeah. So shout out to Bert. Met Clinton Yates this weekend. Took him to Millers.

Really good dude. Never met Clinton before. Also shout out to Darnie because she was out of Ed Miller. So a big, a big, you know, kind of like, although we lost, it was a nice gathering of former players. A lot of daps and hugs. My sunglasses made them six months. They didn't survive a Rayman hug. Yeah.

So you see your old teammates, big strong guys. and literally I saw those things snap in half. Yeah. So there was a lot of hugs, a lot of good vibes in the building. Also want to shout out real quickly, Andrew from Ace Biscuit and Barbecue here locally. He had some company, took him to A's. I'm shouting him out because he has an ACL.

You might ask, how does a guy at a chicken and waffle place end up with an ACL? Well, I found out he was carrying something to the car and slipped on a French fry. No way. Yeah, his ACL got deleted by a French fry. So that was an all-time story. man. Andrew, you're going to be out of that brace soon. Good weekend gambling. Started off really poorly. If you watched our live watch, it got ugly at certain junctures. We'll talk about that in a little bit. I'm not betting the commies anymore. You remember we

talked about how stinky that line was? Two weeks in a row. Two weeks in a row. Yeah, I know. Okay. So I'm not betting the commies anymore. The Cleveland push was maddening. You know, Niners money line was free money in chase mode. I was on tilt on tilt in the 4 pms. Every deep playoff run starts with building an amazing team.

How many Raquel Welch's was this game? Because this is the new thing. Jim, Ursay, after the game, was like, no, that game wasn't ugly Thursday night. That was like 40 Raquel Welch's. I'm like, so on Jim's scale? Are you insulting Raquel Welch right now, Jim?

But not only was it a Raquel Welch shout out, but the way as the tweet was presented, was a screenshot of a Twitter profile, maybe like a Raquel Welch fan page or something. And it was like Maximum horny. for Jim Ursa to do that. Bunk, and Jim, Jim uses Twitter like old guys

use Facebook. He does not know he's verified at all. On Jim scale. He was laying on the ground with his fingers outstretched, and he's like, how about this game? And then he deleted the tweet.

Did you cast that? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Gotta be quicker than that. Yeah, go ahead. You got to go with the Jalen defense. I don't run my Twitter. I don't run my Twitter. On the Ursay scale,

it was Raquel Welch Times. 82,000. Yeah. On my proprietary, Rekkel Welch scale, no, three out of four Rekyll Welch's. It's hard to get to four Raquel Welch's. There weren't a lot of four Raquel Welch games out there yesterday on the... No, there weren't.

And I was very wrong about this game. I thought Green Bay was going to impose its will, and I thought New York would be exposed as the very competent, but not yet ready for prime time, which is included, which 9.30 a.m. qualifies as the only game. That makes for a long day. When it's your team and you're watching every snap at the 9.30 a.m. game. And then you're watching John Harbaugh just watch the seconds tick off the clock at 11 p.m. and not getting any closer for Justin Tucker. That makes for a long game. Yeah, you texted me last night.

I'll get into that a little later. Incense is the right word. Long day for Ravens fans, right? You start the day. What a wild ride. You see wink Mark Martindale. like, you know, calling a great game, keeping Aaron Rodgers and check. And you're cussing, your new DC and Mike McDonald, who a lot of Irish mics this year on the scene, McDaniels McDonald. Yeah.

So we end up with the Ravens playing a fuck ton of zone, which Wink never did. And ultimately, you know, that too high carries them to victory. So a long day, an emotional swing for the Ravens fans who are missing Wink. And then by 11 p.m., they're like, all right, we might have something here because our secondaries play better. I want to say that, go ahead.

Well, I think the question becomes with the Giants, and maybe it doesn't need to be answered now. It doesn't need to be answered now. But is it Daniel Jones, or is it so much not Daniel Jones, that we're going to trot you out there on bum wheels, run you just as much as we've ever done because we know this isn't going to be the long-term solution? Who knows?

But I like not playing it conservatively just because you're three-in-one. This is a free season. Here's the big question to me. And it's more of a take, really. And the question to me is, can Daniel Jones be Ryan Tanhill? Okay. And that sounds like out of the blue, but are the giants, the new Titans? I'm with you there.

Honestly, think about this. Like, there's a lot of similarities here. And I know it just sounds like a sound bite, but they've got a New England derivative coach who doesn't act like Bill Belichick. Like, not at all. Like, they're the two guys to me that have left the nest. and they've been different. You have your tough up front, right?

You have a generational running back. They were blocking their asses off yesterday. They're scrappy. They're really scrappy. They're hard to kill. Yesterday I said the Titans are like roaches. Like maybe these guys are like roaches too. They were getting their, they're linemen up on second level guys.

They're tough in the run game. They actually rush the passer and they don't have Oja Lari. Everybody's hurt. Like, they just find ways to win. And the question to me is, can Daniel Jones, be a Ryan Tannehill. By that I mean just somebody that supports a scrappy, good, solid team. And Brian Daibel has created that.

Turnovers a game for Dana Jones. This snuck up on me. 1.8 rookie year, 1.5 second year, just under one last year and now down to 0.6. So if he can continue that trend, he's a guy who can throw on the run. He's a guy who can tuck it and pick up the sticks on third and medium.

You can do some quarterback run stuff with him. And it's really interesting, Kyle. as a defensive lineman watching that game, knowing Daniel Jones is hurt, he's got a bloody hand, he's got subsequently his blood on the center's asshole. I thought that it was the London food, honestly. I thought it was like the beans and the fish and the chips.

Maybe a chip kind of went sideways down the digestive track there, but it was just Daniel Jones gutting it out and putting his bloody hand on the center's butt. You know, the chips are soft. Are they? The chips are fries. Okay, good. Okay.

I just imagine some chips. Hey. I was imagining some I was like making hates fucking fishing shit. I like them one when they're french fries. Okay, so my question is is a defensive line and you're getting ready to prepare for that game

and you know, you're like Daniel Jones can hurt you with his leg but we can rush a little bit, right? And the offensive line did a nice shop. 13 sacks the first couple weeks. Yesterday, no sacks. You know why? Wildcat's great.

But Daniel Jones getting the ball out, 3.4 seconds leading into yesterday and 2.8 seconds yesterday. So, you know, second half, he started to hurt him with his legs. And that's something unexpected for a group all week that's like he's got a bum ankle. We can let loose a little bit. And to build on to your point, Chris, talking from a de-Lyman's perspective about a quarterback that can extend plays, the notes I made for Daniel Jones were this.

Daniel Jones was heroic in his efforts today. They may knight his ass over there because it was so heroic. Like getting out of the pocket, getting downfield, taking absolute shot. down the field. Not just sliding to take the conservative six, but, you know, getting pounded for nine yards, runs in quick game. So we talked about the quick game. A lot of it look like when the chiefs spread it out and they have all those guys out there and they have tight ends and catch the ball and they just dink and dunk down the field. But next thing you know, they're 70 yards down the field. And if they do get a third and five to your point, Daniel can run it and it's a backbreaker for

the defense. Yep. Stout of the day. You ready? Yep. Daniel Jones, who's rushing 50 yards a game, has picked up 21 first downs on the ground. He's a weapon. Compared to say a 19 for Sequant. He's a weapon.

He's a weapon. He's a weapon. He's a weapon. He might be like a slingshot. You know, but like he's a weapon. And you've made the best point not turning it over. Not turning it over.

That's a big deal. Those numbers are wild. Like I thought he had small hands, man. I thought he had take my strong hand energy the way he was dropping the balls of the first couple years, but he's been hanging on to the ball and wink, you know,

I mentioned earlier, to end the game, and we haven't even talked about Aaron Rogers, which goes to show you kind of like, and the Packers, the lead of this game a year ago would have been the Packers lost. The lead of this game is that the Giants went to fucking London

without a bunch of guys and beat one of the best quarterbacks to ever play the game. And they beat them honest, okay? They spotted them some points. Packers can't play a full game. That's their problem right now. They can't play a full game.

And at the end of that ball game, Hasselbeck did a nice job on SVP last night, breaking down with these RPO's and these quick game deals in the low red, like they're leaving the backside unblocked, right? So that the guy that Aaron Rogers has to contend with on the backside of that run when he turns and throws that slam is a defender who's not blocked.

And it's a throwing window thing. And lately they've had success doing that. But yesterday, wink blitzed them twice, and those guys got their hands up and what an unceremonious way to end the game. Like if you lose a game on third and fourth down and low red, you don't want two incompletions, especially not two deflections.

And what compounds it is Aaron Jones after the game saying, if we had run the ball, I'd put money on the game. He's a smart guy, dude. Aaron Jones is not just diarying at the mouth. He's thinking about what he says. Same thing for Alexander, who's like, well, this isn't as not as much tact here,

but they were like, Are you worried about it? He's like, I'm not worried about it. If we lose next week, I'm worried about it, which is something you don't want to hear. And Aaron Rogers kind of took issue with that whole mentality. But I think we are closer to panicking a little bit with the Packers. But it's more about the Giants, man.

He's got one safety net there, it seems like, with Randall Cobb. And I think the big play opportunities were missed. You look at the overthrows to Lazzard. They had an opportunity at the end of the game to have a giant ball. That would have been a touchdown. Lizar would have hit his head on the goalpost. But it's overthrown by. three, four yards. These are throws that we've come accustomed to Aaron Rogers making.

Yep. I know Jenkins is a tackle. I'm a guard that played tackle. You know, I was a, I was an all-pro guard. They moved me to tackle. Next thing you know, I'm just a tackle. Right. I'm just a guy. And I feel like if you want to have success, particularly up front, you need to have your guys in the spots where they're most comfortable. I like the gap schemes that they're running. They're, they're bringing two guys from the backside. They're trapping out of defenders on the edge. But it's all left trapping right because you're just, when you have a guy that you think's not as, as, as, strong on your O-line unit, you're going to do you're going to do double-team down blocks.

The two solo blocks are the left-tack on left guard coming across formation. I like what they're doing there, but they can only do it one side. They're cutting the field at half of the defense. That's interesting. Packers run defense a problem. Rashon Gary's second level yesterday. Had a tough day.

Less of a problem. Jets and Commie's up next for the pack, though. Yeah, they can get well. They can get well, but the Jets are no, I mean, they're one of America's teams now. So Philly is the next thing. I mean, some people are calling them the best team in football. This was fun. Some people are calling them the best team in football. And I thought this was a

really big, big win for them. I mean, I said this going in. They're going to score a little bit less this week. You know, Milata's out. Dickerson was dinged. Kelsey was dinged yesterday. It was just more of an effort. And Arizona did a nice job. Like they brought the Blitz. They played good defensively. Ultimately, a story of this game, though, is not only that long drive at the end of the game for Philly where they went ahead the third and 12 to Goddard. I call him Goetert. And then it's Kyler Murray slide gate. I mean, second down. You show up the stadium in a slimer green suit. And honestly, Kristen Wigg, I said this yesterday, could rock the fuck out of. Could you see Kristen Wig in that suit? Absolutely. And I'd be like, that's dope, Kristen. But Kyler, I'm like,

you better win and you damn sure better not forget the situation with the game on the line. I have a question, and I know you guys didn't tote the rock a whole lot, but you're at the 43 yard line. I don't remember where exactly they were, and you need to get to the 34 for a first down. Are you really, what are you doing? Are you looking at the sideline at the sticks? Are you looking down at yard lines?

Because it's a difference in him. I think you're looking at the sticks. You have to look at the sticks. You lose your way. You lose your way. Now, if you're running out of bounds and you can see the sticks or you're running unimpeded. Often the scoreboard, too, will tell you.

exactly what it is. And listen. Yeah, but you, I'm saying middle of a play, I need to get to a certain yard line. No, he doesn't know because of the way that play ended. And really the way the play should have ended

is he should have picked two more yards up. Yes. And that should have been the mentality is like, why am I giving myself up? Let me go first problem. I need to go get this first down because I know what down it is. And I'm not saying he didn't.

Second problem, as Cliff talked to him and is he listening about the fact that if you're short of the sticks and locate the sticks, because again, you're disoriented. You almost have to like, elevate and hover over the field to know which five yard line, you know, which five yard chunk

you're occupying. Like that's why the sticks are important. I don't want to exonerate him because it's boneheaded. But, you know, evidently in the stadium, and this is home, home PA, there was like a first down. You know, it was like first down Cardinals. Now, he's still got to be able to see the sticks. He's got to be able to make sure. But this play right here contextually with everything that's going on for the Cardinals, the offseason, you know, the miss cues, his studying, it's just a bad deal, man. And ultimately you lose the game because of that, or you forego having an opportunity to extend it.

When in Dahl, you got to go head first. Beat first, it's where the slide starts. Yep. And Jalen Hertz, man, I want to say this. Every team, it was like everybody, everybody had trouble in the low red this week. Like, you know, the commies had trouble down there. The Bengals will get to that.

Like there were a ton of the, the Packers, how about having Jalen Hertz and keeping it simple and being able to punch it in twice early in that game? To be sneak fast. Go off 14-0-0. They run the ball. They're not afraid to do it. They have that dog mentality.

They got an offensive line. It's nice to be able to do that in the low red zone and simplify things. When you got a quarterback who can make plays with his feet and is really durable and a tough tackle, Jalen Hertz, big boy went on the road. And he just says all the right things, man. like he is like Mr. Say the Right Things. It's not an act. It's like he was raised on a military base or something.

He's like one of those kids that just hasn't figured out. He's a man. You know, I call him a kid, but he's a man, you know? Is it that a coach? Did I hear that coach?

I don't know anything about Jalen Hertz's background, but he just seems like a guy who's like, you know, he's a gamer. His room is clean. Big win for him. I got to see him in Donovan McNabb embrace after the game in the Eagles locker room.

That was pretty cool. And then, And yeah, his dad is a long-time head coach at Channel View. Yeah, so it makes sense, man. Oh, Channel View. I want to ask you this, yeah, Channel View. You didn't make it a remote control. Is that on TV, guys?

Yeah, yeah. I'll work on that. Okay. Okay. Kyle, what do you like better? Eiffel Power Forward for Daniel, Web, Wembaima. Daniel? Yeah, whatever the fuck his name is.

Daniel. What's his name? He's not even here. Victor. Victor. Yeah, Victor. He's not even here yet. Crown Vic.

So, so what's better? Eiffel Tower Forward or Eiffel Power Forward? Well, you know he's 7-4. If you have power, I'd say Eiffel Power Forward. God damn.

You guys are parking in the same garage on me. I thought I was on Tower Forward. Was I on Power Forward? You were on Eiffle Power Forward. See, I made the whole thing up. Iful insinuates tower. No, it's the reverse of that. You were on Eiffel Power Ford.

Was I? That's your idea. Yeah, there you go. We're on the same page. Make it was right. Yeah. Because Iffel Tower for it makes no sense. It's power for it.

Well, it makes plenty of sense because the Eiffel Tower in Paris. I know, but it was a little heavy-handed. I'm just my, I'm in knots this morning. I'm having anxiety. Are we done with the Eagles thing? Because I have some. No, I got one question to ask you about the Eagles Cardinals.

Is Kyler Murray the most fun, not great quarterback of all the time? Absolutely. He's the most fun guy to watch because he is a miniature. It looks like backyard football out there. And I was talking about, it looks like in a football. I was. watching highlights and I was talking to my wife, Kate, and I was like,

it's incredible to watch this guy throw a football because it's like in golf, if there's a little guy and he's the biggest hitter on tour. Kyler Murray has an absolute rocket for an arm. But he uses his entire body to throw it. He has a large arc from which he drops the ball down below his hip, and he looks like a damn pitching machine. And that thing comes out hot. It's so much fun to watch.

And when he runs, obviously, he's incredible. But to watch him throw is my favorite. bro I wish I had Kyle Murray's cleats I'd hang them on my rear of your mirror you know what I mean yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah people be like yo you got a toddler I'm like no I just

Tyler Murray's fun I think his cleats but I think Jalen Hertz is even more fun with the football on his hand oh Jalen Hertz is the man but Tyler Murray regardless of the outcome it's just that seemed unnecessary but man was that cool

plus five and a half point better sure had to sweat that out because the Eagles had a first and goal at the 10, about ready to go up seven. Instead, they sell it for the field goal. And then Arizona's going to go in for the field goal and go to overtime. And then you're right back to that six-point danger zone

and overtime with Philly winning, and Amandola misses it. Yep, no question. That guy's had a rough one. I go back to the decision that how he had to make. Yep, three jerseys for Matt Amandola. Awful. This season.

Awful. Awful. That's got to be nightmare. And he watched it and the announcer said, and it's where he missed it in pregame. And I was like, uh-huh. That ball took a right turn.

That's a slice. That's a big old slice, banana slice. Justin Tucker, it plays the same position. And we're going to talk about bangles in a second. I saw a stat where if the, if the fucking uprights were a half yard wide, a foot and a half,

he would have hit the kick. That's from some guy that looks up shit like that. Michael Lopez. No, but shout out. I mean, a half a yard wide. So,

I got, I got Justin Tucker content. Okay, good. We'll get there. I got something on the Eagles stuff. And I'm thinking back to when how he made the decision not to pay Zach what he wanted and he kept Dallas Goddard. It's paying off now.

It was early and often with Dallas Goddard. And then at the end of the game, to your point, huge catch in a huge spot. And I want to give a shout out to Jalen. When he runs the ball and he makes a decision to run, he truly becomes a runner. He's not a quarterback with a football. Most guys run to throw. You look at Aaron Rogers, Josh Allen, and Patrick Mahomes. They run to get away from chaos to make the throw. Jalen says, fuck it.

And then he becomes a real ball carrier. That's what I love most about his game. Yep. He's decisive, man. He's got the juice. I don't know if anybody has more juice than him right now. Like, you know, like new on the scene, you know, this guy over the last two years has just, I mean, Philly fell in love with him. And this is an important win. It's a type of win. It's on the road against an inferior opponent. And good teams, good teams win these games, these sleepy games. Is it a dome though? It's kind of like the question. It feels like a dome.

Does a straw have two holes? Feels like a dome. Does straw have two holes? One hole. I'd say yes. No, it doesn't, bro. Two holes. No, it doesn't.

One hole. I mean, I understand the argument. I understand you have a argument. Well, you know what, Chris? Because your mouth and your butt, it could be a straw. That's two holes. That's not true, Kyle. There's a lot in between.

Oh, God. Well, that's true. It's all connected, I think. The straw. Yeah. All right. So a straw. Dallas L.A.

Listen to this. Straw has a top hole. and the bottom hole. But it's punctured in one hole. It's made in one action. Again, I understand. One action, dude. You know, it's like,

hole, you know? All right. Dallas L.A. Riddle me this. Can the Rams get right? I say, I say no. I've almost seen enough.

Now, not to be fucked on this thing two years in a row because last year told you the night he was like, he was like Buddy Lee. He was, Jeffrey Simmons was power.

bombing him into the turf in L.A. on Monday night or whatever was, I gave up on the Rams. And then they won the Super Bowl. I just don't think they have it this year. Here's the big thing. Stafford, Stafford to me is back in Detroit. Okay? And I don't want to oversimplify it, but Matt Stafford has no run game. Matt Stafford's protections poor. And Matt Stafford, outside of Cooper Cup, because Alan Robinson hasn't paid off, really has one guy to throw to. So he's back in Detroit, but he's like 10 years older. Like, he's physically, he's physically shot, okay? And, and they're not protecting him well.

When Sean McVeigh and the Rams were rolling, they had a guy named Todd Gurley. And Todd Gurley got a lot of credit, but he never got enough. Because Todd Gurley made that whole thing go. You can't run Sean McVeigh's offense without a play action that people actually respect and without offensive linemen that move in concert. You had Whitworth. You had good players. Havenstein was a couple years younger.

They're just not the same team. 62 yards a game. Fucking rushing the ball. My dad's on NFL Fox Sunday saying sign a fullback. And he's right. When the guy with the flat top is yelling into the prompter, sign a fullback, like it's not 1973. He's right.

He's right. He had a good point because they were running stuff with a wide receiver playing. fullback. So like, why not sign a fullback? Yeah. Love that. Scoronic can't catch the three yard outs all day and play fullback. So here's the

lead. Micah Parsons, there were nine people picked in front of him. Okay? Pass rusher remains maybe the second most important position. And I've said this before. I might start my, if I have a corner who's like ridiculous and I don't have a lot

of rushers. 11. 11 people. 11 people. He's 12. Yep. So 11 people picked in front of him. And I don't like playing that game

because it's really hard to go backwards. But some good names there. This guy wins games for them. Yes. How many games you think they've won without Micah Parsons? Maybe two? Two?

Yeah. The number in my head. They blocked a punt yesterday. This guy's out there, you know, like Kurt Gibson. He's limping around. And he's making big plays. I mean, and it's Aaron Donald

and Micah Parsons, two of the scariest guys on the planet. Aaron out there on the edge, Russian for two sacks yesterday on on Mr. Tyler Smith. I think Tyler Smith's pretty good. But Aaron Donald, man, I tell this anecdote before. So forgive me. You've heard this a million times with Kyle. I can remember when I was, it was you know, scrimmages in camp at the end of camp like at home when you called me, you know, as the group kind of like goes out. And what did I call you and say? You called me during my training camp and you're like, how are you guys looking? I got to

tell you about this kid. We got named Aaron Donald. he's going to be a Hall of Famer. I remember my teammates are like, oh, he's fucking nuts. And I was like, okay. Day three, dude, a minute we got out there. Like legit. We were in warm-ups, I was like, damn,

he just moves like all of it. So anyways, we had the scrimmage, and I had a groin, and I run off the field to like rub some Tiger Bomb on that motherfucker. Try not to get it on my nuts. That's the hardest thing in the world. And then Aaron Donald runs out there to take left end snaps in odd front.

So three-man front, he's out there taking left end and I said we don't have any bodies. And when I tell you, I saw him run by the guy that I was giving everything to beat, like I limped back on that muck and field so fast. I was like, get out. I don't think he could take my position because they need him in there,

but like, this guy can do my job better than me. He can do it like Robert Quinn. You know, like, why not rush him out there more? Not that they have any hope of winning the Super Bowl this year, but why not rush him out there more, especially when teams can more easily take care of an interior guy. It's funny that you say, why not rush him out there more?

Because I've made the argument to other offensive linemen that the scariest thing on the field is when a defensive end comes to three technique or stands up over you. I remember in practice, Aaron Lynch is a defensive end. Oversized D.N. He's really like a four-eye size, but he moved into three technique. And this is when I was at the top of my game. I could not block him in practice for whatever reason.

And I've always argued defensive ends moved inside is tougher to block and detackles moving outside is hard for tackles to block because it's a different ball game. Match up nightmare. Match up nightmare. So, I don't know. Micah Parsons, he's the reason. You know, people get Cooper Rush, the whole thing.

Like, yeah, that's great. Michael Parsons is the reason, not just the plays he makes, but the fear he strikes in people's hearts. That fear is immeasurable. You know, that fear takes up hours and hours of time when you could be doing something else that week. You're focused on where the fuck Micah Parsons is.

you got to put a GPS tracker on this guy. Rams allowed 24 pressures on 46 past blocking snaps. Other guys win. Bet you Michael Parsons has something to do with it, you know? So listen, I want to say this about Mike McCarthy. And maybe this is the year of the beleaguered head coach because last year, the easiest take in the world, slam dunk was to laugh at Pete Carroll.

Free Russell Wilson, you know? Pete Carroll's the problem. Run too much on first thing down. They're archaic. He's a fucking, he's a Stone Age head coach. They're scoring a lot of points right. right now, okay? Mike McCarthy, ready to run him out of the building.

And they might still do it. Jerry Jones might run him out of the building. Sean Payton. Sean Payton's probably said that's my, maybe my fly on the wall, we'll get to it is like watching Sean Payton watch the Cowboys games because he's like, fuck me, dude, chill out Cooper Rush. But Mike McCarthy, good for him.

He go. I'll give him a good for him for sure. He'd go, he'd go. Cooper Rush is to Mike McCarthy as Dak Prescott is to Sean Payton. Yeah. Cool, fine, nice. We got upgrades coming.

Yep, no question. I mean, I think Sean Payton's probably looking at that game and thinking, damn, if I had a defense like that, you know? Never quite had one like that. It never had a player like that defensively in New Orleans. So anyways. Silver linings, though, for the Rams and the Cowboys, really. The Rams, silver lining, Stafford, a lot's been made about his arm health.

He overthrew a lot of receivers yesterday, big time, by a lot. It's like a bronze lining. It's almost, well, he was also running for his life the entire game. Like he never had a pocket of the stand in. That's not going to change.

That's not going to change. I think he'll play other teams that don't have Michael Parsons. But his arm had juice. So Rams fans, you have that going for you. And then for the Cowboys, just their four-minute offense,

even with like seven minutes to go. Their duo running game with Tony Pollard and Zeke Elliott, it's a thing of beauty. It has been for 10 years behind number 70s. Still blocking people's ass. My God, that's a thing of beauty.

Yeah. Yep, yep, and this week, Eagles, as I mentioned, Eagles, Cowboys, this is a prime situation where the Cowboys can steal a win. I said earlier this season, the Eagles are going to beat them twice. I didn't know that they were going to be banged up up front before they go in to play the Cowboys here. This is going to be incredible. Incredible.

This rivalry has been lopsided on either side. Because even when we won the Super Bowl in Philly, you got the sense that Dallas is Big Brother in the regular season. we hadn't beat Zeke, like period. We beat them once, and they had Alfred Morris, like, down there. If Zeeke comes, for a while, Zique owned us. And, you know, now it feels like both teams are actually playing really well.

You know, like, this is what a rivalry is supposed to be like, and this is going to be electric. What's your spread, Vegas? Philly hosting Dallas. Philly hosting Dallas, Philly minus four and a half. He's going to say four or three and a half. Philly minus four. I would say not less than four and a half.

Yeah, I don't know, we'll see. Four and a half, five. A defense, the injury of my lota. I don't know where they're at with that. You got two guys banged up front. You know, like, shout out to Driscoll, though. Is it five right now? Five, Philly five.

That would tell you to, I'm not going to say it. Oh, boy. I'm not going to say it. The Eagles are going to win that game, but it's going to be a slug fest.

1-8009-9-9-7-89. Last night, Bengals Ravens. Let's skip to the meat and potatoes here, the fish and chips of the matter. Shall we? Yeah, let's do it. Did you stick around long enough to hear Justin Tucker be interviewed

after the game? Yeah. By Melissa Stark. He said some, interesting things. It was the most interesting kicker interview I've ever heard. Well, the first and therefore. I'm sure there's a Janakowski interview out there.

Maybe so. But I thought it was fascinating to hear him say that he says he goes out there with a lot of anxiety and stress and thinks about the worst case scenario. Marcel's Wiley's going to tell him he's weak. I thought you were a robot

and you could only see the thing going through the uprights but he says he's always thinking about worst case scenario but then he locks in to the operation from snap to the flow state to kick flow state he he shouted out his holder for his first career game winning hold that's amazing big solid long snapper didn't get a shout out nah nah what's he got against the long snapper trouble in paradise now i don't have a big issue with harball kicking the field goal to go up six i i i'm there i'm going for but i'm not there i'm here Right. Well, last week we skewered him, right, for not.

Right. Different situation, but. But you have the three timeouts, so you think likely you can get the ball back even if since he scores, which they did. I do have a bigger issue and people are going to say Justin Tucker and they won the game, nobody cares. You have three timeouts with 40 seconds left and you can keep running the ball to get closer for Justin Tucker. This is a very small thing, but Lamar, Dobbins, Kenyon, Drake, even Duvernay, they were all running. for five yards pop, you could have run at the very least three more plays to set up a fourth down with no time on the clock. Instead, Harbaugh is just just chilling there. I want to know what's

going through my man. I'll tell you what's going through as much. What if there's a, what if there's a fumbled snap? Okay, then do it on third down. Right? Ha, ha. So making, make it. Do it on third down. Do what on third down? Kick it. But he kicked it on first down. So I got, I got you. It becomes, if there is a bad snap, it happens on third down, you can fall on it. But God forbid, there's a snap that happens and it's a fumble and the other team falls on it and it's a change of possession and then burrows out there with end of game scenario two-minute drill. We're playing devil's advocate. So you hear what I'm saying.

I hear what you're saying. He has the supreme confidence in his kicker that once he is within his range that Justin Tucker's like, green light that shit coach, then he's like, I trust him. And to your point, he goes out there on first down because of botches in the operation, because of the shout out that Justin Tucker made in post game because there's a new guy there. There's things happen. I don't know for sure. I think maybe somewhere in the middle would be good.

I'm sorry. He didn't give himself a chance, though. He still ran all the way down. So if there's a bad snap, even though it's first down, you fall on. The game's over. But you're saying the first down argument versus third down argument. I'm just saying run a couple more plays, get closer. It's a 43-yarder.

I know for Justin Tucker, that might be a 20-yarder. That's an extra point now, right? I just felt like an oversight from a guy. He was like Tom Cruise. Did you see the new top gun? Yeah, I did. You put it right on the jimps. spot there. Like on the, you know, when Tom Cruise had to drop the bomb and there was like one little

spot that he had to hit that was Justin Tucker last night. Like legitimately there are analytics to show he couldn't hit the kick more perfect. I just, did you guys see John Harbaugh say like one word into the headset last night? I think there's like classical music coming through that. There you go. There's my fly on the wall. John Harbaugh's headset because my man does not communicate with anybody during the games, which might be a great thing. Hands off. Not a micromanager. But had they lost that game, that would have been, that would have been trouble. Road an elevator with him. Really nice guy.

Great guys. Jim, more chaotic energy. Yes, for sure. Like big time chaotic energy. I want to say this. You like the Raquel Welch scale that we've enacted? I'm going to go with a baby Yoda scale, dude. That ending to that fucking game was so cute for the Bengals.

So cute. It was five baby Yoda's because not only did they run a Philly special. It was not a special. It was a Cincinnati average. and then on fourth down. What do we call that? The little shovel pass, which, which.

It's just a shovel. It's just we don't have another. Yeah, I mean, I think that's what we call it. Kansas City runs a lot. Yeah, the Kelsey. Yeah,

but Kyle, here's the problem. You have the, hey, hold on, player. Hey, hold on a minute player. Third down, you run a fucking Cincinnati average. You come out there fourth down and you're like,

I got Joe Burrow and Jemar Chase and a bunch of guys and tight ends have been playing well. We're going to try to rinky dink trick them. The commanders put it in Carson Wentz's hand three times, but Zach Taylor, fucking galaxy brain out there, like playing Madden.

And then blaming Lyle Collins. Did he really? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. They're saying Lyle should have pulled. Oh, he was chasing him down to yell at him. I'd love to pull up to play. I can break it down for you. I know the play.

You can yell at yourself. So I wrote third and goal from the 14. Jamar fights to the two. So fucking dumb. Every yard matters. particularly in the red zone. If you run anything and it's a loss of maybe three on the play before, that's a touchdown.

Yeah. Philly Special. It blows my mind. And then we're going to pull up the Philly Special. You're going to pull up? No, no, pull up the shovel pass. The shovel pass. You guys keep talking.

Keep talking. As we're pulling this up, the goal to go stuff, man. And Tennessee's had, or Baltimore's had a lot of like goal to go situations at the end of ball games. And their games are coming down to these. I will say this. Their secondary is playing better. I want to shout Mike McDonald out one more time. You know, he definitely stuck to the game plan.

Didn't get greedy. It wasn't about his ego, Blitzin. I'm not saying it was about Wink's ego, but definitely with D.C.s that like to Blitz. Like, I play with Greg Williams, bro. Like, Greg Williams is horny to Blitz. Wink Martindale is horny to bring pressure. Burrow ran Wink out of town,

putting up like 40 points on the, on the, on the Ravens a couple times last year. And then you get this. So Burroughs like, fuck, maybe I shouldn't run the score up so much. And it was cute with the Phillies Special and then they don't elect to tie. So they're not full committed to cute, right?

I'll give a shout out to Hendrickson, who stayed in his lane a lot. And rush lanes were important against Lamar, obviously. He stopped a big scramble on third and long. Shout to Trey Hendrickson. What a beast. And had to contend with Pet Ricard all day, trapping and he's like 305.

You ever get blocked by Pat Ricard, Chris? No, but it would feel like friendly fire. He was a former D-Lignment. Yeah, he is. He is. A friend of the program. And by the way, Marcus Peters just deleted. Oh, is that Boyd?

Yeah. The play-by-play is Tyler Boyd sacked for a 12-yard round. Here's a third goal. After the Philly special, the Bengals go and they get the ball to Jamar Chase. He makes three guys nearly miss. Gets it down to the one-yard line. Now you get an opportunity to score. They don't want to be cute.

They're going to take the lead. They don't want to tie. it up and then they run this. So go ahead and run it. So the right guard pulls. The pitch man is the guy that's in Burroughs face. So now run it back a little bit making. I want to see the

combination. So this is a deuce block on the left side. It's a gap scheme. Should be a gap scheme on the left side of this. Bengals. Yeah, well, left guard gets beat inside some penetration there. It's okay. He's not part of the play. Jonah's fine. Kappa pulling. He's fine.

It should be a man, who is on? Who is on? Yeah. I think they wanted lay out. Okay, go up, go up. Go back. Just like at the beginning of the play here, I'm going to watch Layel.

And then I'll be able to talk through the whole play with confidence. Yeah, Layle Conant is wrong. Right. They doubled four. That's frustrating. So what he'll say is, it's the right call, you know, and all that jazz. But fuck, so could be putting the ball in Joe's hands or not running some fucking circus. I heard a clown noise.

when Marcus Peters hit Boyd. So you know, those are points that matter, man. Those are points that absolutely matter. And then what's worse is you let them off the goal line. It's an Andrews Fest. And the rest of the game plays out the way it plays. So four baby yodas for that sequence. And this was very nearly a blowout.

Lamar missed the two. The one to Wallace was especially bad. That should have been 17 nothing. Both quarterbacks had some stinkers. and Lamar was high on the pick. The fourth and two, I gasped. Yeah. I was like,

like, Lamar sprinted off the field. Oh, and he's the most accountable guy. For sure. He's the best. I was just, I had company over and I was like,

I just would love this guy. I just would love to play with him. Me too. And then he makes that throw, and you're like, I was still love to play with him because he's not going to, he knows it's on him. He's the first guy to say it.

He's the first guy. He's the first guy. He'll be the first. He'll be the second to tell you that, He needs to have that, he wants that one back. But yeah, no, like Joe Burrow, Lamar Jackson, they're great quarterbacks, they're elite quarterbacks, right? Let me take you to, can we just fast forward to Josh Allen real quick?

Because we're not going to spend a lot of time on that game. But there's Josh Allen, and then there's everybody else right in now, dude. Like quarterback play has kind of, a lot of people have come back down to Earth. You know, CINC, the whole thing, like Aaron Rogers, Justin Herbert. although Justin Herbert still makes circus throws every week. You know, like he's the guy that with a different coordinator, Ken Dorsey, who's done a really nice job, they've kind of reinvented themselves offensively a little bit,

still makes those throws every fucking week and the production matches it. Yeah, 65-yard or to Gabe Davis was like, you take that for granted, dude. You take that for granted. We look around all week at guys underthrowing deep balls. This guy's throwing the ball 65-year. And overthrowing him now.

was the theme this morning. Yeah, which is good. Matt Stafford. He's got Ryan Rogers too. Yeah, Aaron Rogers too. Like they're out of sync. Josh Allen is in sync with his guys. Josh Allen's in sync.

So Ken Dorsey, hats off to him and hats off to Josh Allen for just being a fucking mutant dude. And Pride of Fireball, California. I want to talk about the other quarterback real quick on the other side of that. Kenny Pickett. People remember that fake slide.

Oh. I'm not saying it's right, but I am saying when they remember it it was in the rules oh they remember it it was on sports center you can everybody was like yeah this is fucking cool they changed the rules because of Kenny Pickett so Kenny Pickett got hit hit low by Shaq Lawson

shout to James Daniels comes out James Daniels the guy that backed him up my rookie from the Chicago Bears was he the guy that ended up bro James Daniels after the hit on the slide and this is what I'm talking about Kenny Pick is going to slide you're going to have to prove it yeah right there it's 31 3 he's

scrambling. They go low on it. But he comes in there. No, this is, he comes in and just lights him up as he's trying to slot. I'm talking about the low one. Yeah. Well, James Daniels comes over and shoves buddy and ends up on the wrong sideline. Yeah. Yeah. And I have never seen a dude so outnumbered on a sideline as that cat. He was like, oh, fuck. He was like me getting jumped at the frat house I was telling you about. Like, like, there was just a lot of people. Where are my homies right now? And he just like quietly, he, well, not quietly. He quickly exited and, and, uh, and ran around the kicking net. and just was like, fuck this. I'm not even going to fight over here, bro.

So that was your rookie. James Daniels. Good. From Iowa. He's doing the right stuff. Yeah. But Kenny Pickett, if you scramble, people are going to play to the echo of the whistle

because we are like elephants. We remember everything. Right. Well, Kyle was. Speaking of elephants, Chris. Yeah. Joe Burrow is starting to remember things that have happened. In the first third down of the game,

he took a hit. It wasn't a big one, but it was enough to be in his head, I think, the whole game. And Joe Burrow, you said he's a quarterback without conscience. I think that conscience is starting to come into black. You think he's starting to get some, he's turning into an elephant. I think he's got some elephant light qualities. Whereas before he was, he was Dory, finding Nemo. He was like a badass Dory.

That was my last bangles. Just keep throwing. He's like, fuck, I remember that. That was terrible. So Patriots, Lions. Beautiful matchup uniform-wise. I want to say this first. Red top, white helmet.

Can't lose. Correct. Like cannot lose. Looks great. Looks amazing. Looks so good that I feel I'm embarrassed for my take that the new Pat's uni's are decent. Chris just admitted to liking the Maryland Terrapins uniform. Two years ago.

No, no, no, yeah, that's fuck. Well, that throwback is a good one. They got all the fucked up piping. Not when they wear the throwback. The throwback's not bad. But these are the best because they get the blue in there. They're clean. The helmet, the Patriot guy sitting there.

Pat. Yeah, Pat. Yeah, sitting there in his fucking stance, getting ready to snap the ball, looking like a revolutionary war guy. Yeah, because that's what he is, right? Yep. Mel Gibson with a football. Yeah, he's just waiting for Paul Revere, like just.

Jack Jewett, let's keep it local. Jack Jewett, who was the local Paul Revere. You love history, man. Jack Jewett, who rode from north of town to Monticello to Warren. Monticello, yeah, it's making his favorite place. So is this a good stance, offensive lineman? It's a great stance. That guy looks like he reminds me a cremice.

We're looking at Pat Patriot right now. Pat Patriot is huge. Joe Tooney built at that way. So beautiful, beautiful, beautiful uniforms. But the Lions, man, they come in town, they need to get right. They need to fucking play some defense, right? That's the lead. People aren't thinking about the offense, but you know Bill's going to be salivating

in a chance to play Jared Gough. And honestly, the Lions beat themselves, dude. Like, that's what it was. The Lions, this is a blowout. that could have been close. There's a lot of games like that in the NFL where you look up at the final score, 29-0-0, whatever it was,

and this could be a one-score game throughout. I'm not saying they wouldn't want it, and this is the difference, and it's Dan learning, it's the team learning, but fourth down, four minutes in, about midfield, they get stopped. Okay, so they have a chance, they got a little drive going,

they get stopped. They give up a field goal, they tighten up, three-nothing, okay? Then they get back in the red zone, and I'm like, okay, they're moving the ball. Jack Jones' interception, which was a great play. Hawkinson, 6'5, Jack Jones' kid.

He's everywhere. They got him in the fourth round from Arizona State. Great name, too. Jack Jones, right? How many corners named Jack? We found out it was like seven this millennium. This guy. Wow, that's a good.

Yeah. So Jack Jones' fourth rounder, by the way, his snaps go from 11 to 22 to 26 to 72 in a month span. And this, I'll get to that in a second. Remember I said that, but 18-yard line and throw a pick to Jack Jones, who goes up and gets it. So now you're down six-nothing as a result. and then you get a long return. You're at midfield down 6-0-0.

On the road against the pads. Third and two, you run fucking backwards. You go 4th and 9. Was that Judon? Are we getting to June-N? Yeah, we're Judon on 4th and 9. And he already had a sack. By the way, Uche met him there on the first sack.

They both rushed him really well. Judon's rushing great. But Derek Gough, 4th and 9, we'll pull this up. They're running here on 4th and 9. If you remember this play. Judon gets the 6th. sack, okay? Run that back a touch to the snap. I want to see where they snap that ball. Okay,

making you're, you're Kyler Murray here. What yard line is it? 33. I'll give him 32. So he gets sacked at the 45. You know, he bails out of the pocket from 12 to 15, basically. So he's too deep, and I guarantee you, Bill knows that. Jared's a guy who likes to set deep. They run a high, low. Look at Wise here. He knows he's coming inside. They trap him. That's a He knows he's coming inside. So right end comes underneath. And then you got Judon, who wins high, right? He's just, he's going to run the edge.

And I don't know if that's called, but a lot of times it was called. Not just in New England, but, you know, in St. Louis, you know, I'd always be the low guy. Rob would go high. You need the fast guy to go high. And then you end up with a sack fumble and the game is 13-0. And that's all she wrote for them. Like, really, you go to the half down 16-0. That game's out of phase.

That's how you draw it up right there. draw it up. It's not how you draw it up for the lions. Not on third and two, not on fourth and nine. So they had chances, is all I'm saying. And it's getting to the point where the honeymoon's over in Detroit. And we love Dan. But now, like, people are going to put pressure on Dan. How quickly it's... Now the tuxedos are creepy. Now that's exactly, stepbrothers. Yeah. Yeah, like they farted in New England. So, I mean, Jack Jones, 11, 22, 26, 72 plays. Bill learns about his personnel. You know, like, we talk about Tony Bennett here, right? And we start a year bad. Like, we think he's objectively one of the best coaches in college basketball, if not the best.

And you're the basketball guy. He learns his personnel. Like that team, at least, to me, if we start slow, I'm like, oh, we could always improve because guys are learning that system. Bill is learning his players. His players are learning that system. Guys like Jack Jones were not out there week one a bunch. They weren't out there week two a bunch. There's guys that he's going to learn he can depend on, and guys that he can't depend on, or guys that he's like, I need you to play this position. Hot seat, Bill Belichick, not a good training camp coach. Yeah, that's true. Billiichick in August.

That's true. But, you know, I always say, they say Thanksgiving or Halloween, whichever the fucking one is. That's when the season starts. That's when the season starts. Well, they're starting to get to that point where they know who they are. And it's a little bit like, what's Miami's record right now? They have two losses, right? Three and two.

What's, what's New England's record? Two and three. So they're a game behind Miami. Which is wild to think about. Think about the narratives and everything, and we've perpetuated them with Patriots. I don't think Zappi's like the guy. Okay, Matt had a question.

Matt was like, is there a quarterback controversy? And I think a lot of people are asking that question. You know, I texted a teammate of mine this morning. I'm like, let's not fucking jump out of the gym here on Zappi. And the dude texts back like, yeah, dude. Judeon, the defense, the coaching. like Zappi is a solid spot start guy. And he's a guy that can on a team like this win you some games.

But you're always going to want more. Maybe they're doing too much with Mac Jones. When he gets back, maybe they simplify and lean into this identity. Bailey Zappi or Russell Wilson? Oh, boy. Sorry, cowboy. I will say that Jack, Jack Jones.

It can hit open wide receivers. Oh, I'm fine with it. Damn. I mean, Jack Jones. Well, it's a very much. You can be mean every once in a while. Jack Jones getting more burn with the Patriot as a young player and Bill Belichick seemingly buying more stock in him

as the season goes along. Goes a long way with other young guys stepping up. And you're going to see more names like Jack John step into the lineup and get more playing time. Yep. As a result of, hey, look at our guy that we went to meetings with it in the summer, you know? Yep.

And he's got great guys around him in the secondary. Yeah. I mean, so anyways. Ramondre ran for 160. 61 yards. Because of beast. That's a good formula. Run the ball, play good defense.

And you knew you could on Detroit. You didn't know that you could play good defense for sure, but you did. And Judon's been great. I heard the stat. First Patriot, five sacks in the first five games, that whole thing. I think he's playing better this year than last year. You know, last year I thought sometimes he was a beneficiary to some things. He's creating for them.

He's really creating for them. Okay. Pat's at Browns to try to get to 500. Speaking of. Browns also will be trying to get to 500, despite winning, leading in every single game. Two kind of similar teams. In fact, with a former New England quarterback there at the helm,

who played decent in spots until that pick yesterday. He just throws picks when they're red. That pick was terrible. A few minutes to go in these games. And I was on, thank God I bought the points. This is why you're being a coward pays, dude, by the points, okay? You know, run around this motherfucker without life insurance. I need my half point.

So I bought the half point to two. How do you feel about owner's title insurance? Owners title insurance. I like it. I agree. Are you pro? I am pro. I mean, very low likelihood that anyone is ever going to make a claim against title.

You're right. But it's a one-time payment for the rest of your life. It's happened. It's happened. Yeah. Yeah. I'm with you on that. All right.

So I'm glad it was the right answer too. Yep. So it's the decision for me. That's the story of this game. Okay. That and the fact that the Brown, We talked about how easy their schedule was the first couple weeks relative to the rest of it, the first six weeks of the season.

We said, this is going to be scary if Jacoby, that run game, that defense, and figure out a way to keep them in it when Deshaun gets back, like we're going to be hate watching the Browns into January. And I'm not so sure now because they're finding ways to lose games. They lost the Jets game in, you know, like just spectacular fashion, lost the Falcons in a tight one late. And now they find a way to botch this thing. my man

right before this is who they got before Deshawn comes back Patriots Ravens Bengals dolphins bills

bucks that's one and four one and five it's probably one win it's probably one win yeah that's before Deshawn comes back yes

but either way it's going to be tough now kind of muddying things up Baltimore since he not getting out of the gate too hot so you never know

but um I think and they just got help at linebacker with Dionne Jones, who's a really good player. That kind of came out of nowhere for me. I know they had done something with his contract, so you knew this might be coming. But to get traded on a Sunday night is weird early in the season.

But the fourth and two. Is it the right call? Because you're Mr. Analytics. No. Okay, good, good, good. Okay, good. We're all.

And the analytics, people are split on this. Like Next Gen stats says, you know, punt, right? And then the fourth down decision bot is on methamphetamine. because they're like, no, honestly, I'm good with that. Here's the problem. It's not just the call. It's the context around the call. Brandon Staley cost his guy's playoff checks last year.

He cost them a chance to play in the playoffs. Because he has his way. You know, some people get so caught up in fucking, you know, this is the way I live. This is what I do. I have this mantra. This is who we are, man. Well, like, that's an easy way.

to get yourself killed, dude, like as a team. You know, just not being able to adapt. You know, the Patriots are who they are, but they change every week. Yeah. You know, and they're a chameleons. And I'm not saying they don't have idiosyncrasies and ways that they like doing things as play callers,

but this attitude of like, it's about us and what we're supposed to be, not about us today and how we win this fucking football game. punt the ball to Jacoby Brissette. I don't care about the analytics. Exactly. Not in this situation, because is there a set of analytics for a team playing with a backup quarterback in a two-minute drill with no timeouts that has to go 70 yards? If your defense, even without Joey Bosa, can't get a stop in that situation, you don't deserve to win the game.

And to make matters worse, Keenan Allen, who's like your guy, he's watching the game on TV, and he tweets, what the fuck are we doing? That's not just a problem. That's a canary in the coal mine, dude. That's a canary in the coal mine, brother, because he's one of your guys, and he's got a lot of juice. He's the guy. And not just saying that, but feeling comfortable enough and upset enough to tweet that. Some things, a mountain is made out of a molehill.

This is not a molehill, dude. I'm sure Keenan Allen will be the first to tell you, we're fine. Like, I was just frustrated. But there's something to that because there's a long history here in a short time of Brandon Staley. fucking being a robot, honestly, like an aggressive robot, dude. He is a fourth down decision bot in a human body. You know what I mean? Like I just, if I'm on the fucking charges, I'm upset.

I'm on the fence here. Well, now that I'm looking at it again. Is there, I don't agree with the play call. Is there a, plays bad? Is there a amount of yards that makes you feel better? If it's the plus 46. I feel like if, and I always say this, I always say the middle.

I'm saying if it's fourth and one, maybe. Fourth and one or the plus 45 is what I always say. You have to get off the logo, really. I'm looking at Brownie. I'm looking at Brownie as ear goes to the 45. So if we're on the other side of Brownie, maybe, but still, that's. Because that's emphatic, right? But that's a minute for two.

So it's really a hubris thing that Staley's dealing with. It's an excessive pride thing in his analytics. I don't think it's a pride thing. I think it's just like, bro, you're just missing. Touchback. something missing with him. Like, you know that kind of like common sense thing? Yeah.

Or it's like, all that sounds good. But at the end of the day, you got to have common sense. And look, if they punt it, it's either. I don't like coincizing coaches like this, dude. They either pin them down there inside the 20 or they get at the 20. Those are the two worst case scenarios. It just bothers me, dude. And you're right.

Jacoby percent, you have to force him to make plays. That's a, that's a, that decision is about him. In my, the way, as I sit there as a player, and that might not be so. he really might mean well. It might be well intended. But to me sitting as a player, I'm like, that's about you. And I love Brandon Staley too, man. I had him in Chicago and he's a great dude.

But that, he's a coach that you want to like, but then he does shit like this and you're like, what the fuck are we doing? Hey, Kyle, it's Brandon Staley. Coach, what's up, man? Are you okay? Yeah, exactly. Yeah, that was from another podcast.

There needs to be a Brandon Staley filter on the analytics. Like, hey, are you Brandon Staley? Yes. Okay, chill a little bit more. Uh-huh, uh-huh. Like the dichotomy key, where you can be like, Brandon Staley, yes, go for it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's only one option.

And by the way, it's been a while. Is it Jacoby Berset? Throw analytics out the window. punt the ball. I feel like it's been a while since the really great big behind the goalposts John 316 signs have. I mean, look at this bad boy. I mean, that is. Oh, wow.

Maybe that guy did, well. Time traveler. John 316, evidently not enough John 316. Right. Because presumably you're a Browns fan. You just like, it's right here. But the John 316 is outside the goalpost. You need to get the fan inside the goalpost.

That's all bad. Cade York is aiming for John 360. Pass me the sign. He's aiming for John 316. Yeah. I hit the sign, coach. Houston Jacksonville is not much to say. We already said it. We're one win closer to hitting that win total.

which I believe is four and a half. I don't know if I see another three and a half wins. I will say this. The Jags, they're starting to turn the ball over again. That's what got them that winning streak. We blamed it on the weather last week. And it's like, what are we doing this week? It's not the weather.

Trevor Lawrence didn't play well again. And that bears monitoring. It does. Peterson said we need to, that's on us, we're going to have Trevor playing better. That's on us, essentially, Doug Peters. Yeah, you know, Nothing to panic about.

This is a team that's growing. They're ahead of schedule. Sometimes when a team's ahead of schedule, they can really fuck themselves because everybody's like, oh, man, this is the worst loss ever. It's like, nah, you were sub-Texans, like just a minute ago.

Yeah, five weeks ago. Your coach was at a fucking brew pub putting his thumb in somebody's, you know, like after a game, like, think you've come a long way. Tough scene. You know, this John 316 really flies in the face of Memento Mori, my personal creed, of remembering that everything must die,

because John 316, Kyle, is for God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life. Now me, I'm like, nah, we all got a clock. Yep, shot clock for everybody. Yeah.

So do you think, so shoot your shot? Do you think that Matt Rule's favorite Bible verse is John 316? I think by the time you're listening to this, Matt Rule is unemployed. You think he's memento, memory by the time this pod drive.

We got breaking news out of Charlotte, North Carolina. David Tepper has fired. We'll stay in that division real quick. NFC South. Cuts clothing has perfected the art and science of men's shirts.

is going to be a struggle. And the Falcons are better than you think. And I would call the police on Arthur Smith with those sunglasses if you were at like a mall or something. You know what I mean? Bad look. You did the sketch of Frank Wright. the other day. You compared Frank Wright to who was it?

Just a random police sketch of a guy who knows. I thought there was a guy that blew something up for sure. He probably did. I was just looking for it. Reich looks like a sheriff in Wyoming. Arthur Smith definitely like, yeah, I mean with those sunglasses. And the call. I mean, that call.

Jerome Boger. Jerome Boger, who kind of stood behind the call after the game, can never go to Atlanta, like can never go to Atlanta. And this isn't like a game that. This isn't like a game that loses them a playoff spot or something like that, but you just never know. Like this team is better than you think. What it does lose in the game,

you get six point game at that point, they're coming back. And you take it out of their hands, dude. And Grady Jared, who's a hell of a player. I've seen to make a hundred sacks this way. You know, like get back there, kind of grab somebody behind their hips and just roll them down gently.

Of course, nothing's gentle in pro football. But I know you're protecting the 45-year-old guy. The 45-year-old guy was not just okay. He was okay enough to try to kick the shit out of Grady Jarrett, which the irony in this is that. There's your personal foul. Yeah. There's your personal foul.

And I play with Tom. He's a fucking goat. I love him. But in this situation, he's fucking wrong. And he got gifted 15 yards in the game here. He got let off the hook by Jerome Boger. And this is not cruel and unusual. this is not rough.

I mean, his head didn't hit the ground. This is necessary. What do you want Grady Jarrett to do? Should it be a hug fest? Like, honestly, I've always hated when people just scream into the sun. It doesn't even look like football anymore. We're playing touch football.

Like, the game's violent, bro. The people that think this is touch football watching an NFL game, it's more violent than it's ever been, almost. I mean, we've gotten some hits out of the game. Players are bigger, faster, stronger technique. Trust me. Guys are getting close.

trust me dude fucking trust me okay it's violent but first it was you can't hit guys in the head okay I get that right I got flagged in you know in the early 2010s for that shit and it wasn't it wasn't great okay but you get used to it

then it was we can't hit him in the legs all right I guess I'll try to be more accurate we'll try to hit him in the strike zone we'll form tackle him you can't drive the guy into the ground you know what I'm saying like you can't I saw Baker Mayfield bailed out on a Brian Burns penalty, right?

No, it was gross modos in the end zone. Nobody remembers that except for me, but that was a couple weeks ago. And it's like, what do you want them to do? It's a perfect form tackle. You're hitting them in the strike zone. You're depositing them on the ground. And now we can't sling them. We can't set quarterbacks down.

So I really don't. The sling word is important. And I'm in a hundred percent agreement that Grady Jarrett's sack was within the framework of the rules. There was nothing malicious that he was doing. sacking Tom Brady. And to your point, the verbiage of sling,

I think with Tua hitting the ground in that snapping sling motion, anytime you're falling back like that, Bulger might have just like a little bit of PTSD from what he's seen the last few weeks, and he wants to be on top of it. That's what I think. He was in panic reactive mode

when he saw it happen, and then he was like, oh, and he's 50. Yeah, I also think now, Kyle, that this might have been a makeup call. What? So at the beginning of the first half, Oh, you're not Kyleing me. And you might not remember this because why would you be watching this game

at the end of the first half? It looked ugly. But Atlanta is hustling to sub, you know, inside two minutes. The refs forgot the rules, right? And Tampa's trying to hurry up and get a chance to score a touchdown. They have to settle for a kick. So that's four points there. I get it.

Like you blew that call. Maybe this is a make-up. but you really shouldn't be doing that. Not in crunch time. And I'm not accusing him of doing a one-for-one kind of makeup call deal here, but that's the only thing I can think. If you're an Atlanta fan,

I would point to the end of the first half, which doesn't excuse this, but both teams got away with some stuff yesterday. And Tom Brady said, hey, I don't throw the flags. I don't throw the flags. G grabs them on the hips, kind of the belly button hips.

Yep. And it is a sling, but what makes the sling better is that he keeps his arm around them. Yep. Like he breaks his fall a little bit. He doesn't just rag doll him. Bro, it's a sideways prom pick.

That's what I'm going to call it from now. You're penalizing a sideways prom pick. Like, damn. It's gentle, dude. Honestly, so we got a few more best of the rest here. We've got, we've got, yeah, Bears, Vikings, Kyle. I don't want to talk too much about that. I saw some things from Justin Fields that made me a little bit happier.

Come on. Come on back. Shines in Chicago. And Justin Fields to Darnell Mooney's. Mooney is a thing of beauty. There's a one-handed catch here. Good God, Darnel Mooney. Obviously, Justin Fields throwing the ball outside the red line here.

Mooney, absolute one-handed, beaut. I mean, this is like commonplace in the NFL now. I don't know if the gloves are getting better, the jugs machines better. The cows that we're killing are more grippier. Yeah. But Darnell Mooney and all these receivers all over the league just continue to make these one-handed free catches. Pigskin then. We're not killing pigs?

Well, it's leather. Yeah, do pigs make leather? Yeah. I think they used to make them out of pigs. I know about like the bacon. That's a great question. Yeah. Is it cow skin?

It's cowhide. Used to be, yeah, it used to be pigs. It's leather, right? It's cattle. It's cattle.

It's cattle. But yeah, no, I mean. Calhide leather. David Montgomery's back, so they have two running backs. They don't have to lead heavily on one guy,

Khalil Herbert. They can go to both. Volcanized rubber. Cow. The bears, man. They should have won. They were resilient. The overwin.

The over a point total was great. So I appreciate that. But to finish the game, fight back like that and fumble the football. They were down bad. They came back, you know, double digit points and then they got even down worse.

Okay, okay, okay. Seahawks Saints. Anybody? Taste him Hill, man. When he took off,

when he took off in the Wildcat in his own territory and ran for like 60, 70 yards, I think. He actually ran by everybody. Yeah. Rarely do you see just a good angle?

like he ran by everybody it's incredible we don't we don't see that a lot shout out to the white guy tasem hill we don't see that right everybody we don't see a lot and i'm laughing up for tason i said that yeah i'll give him a golf clap so i'll give sean peyton a golf clap for forcing tason hill under our tv in perpetuity he signed him to like a million year deal was like i'm going to work on tv and he's great at tv you know uh it's like buying a home and you're like what do i do with this this feature like i don't know you do a lot with it and you really can't can do a lot with Taysam Hill. And I want to say,

and we've been hard on him and joked about like the contract and everything, but he continues to find ways to help this team. Here's the big deal. Camaro was back, right? Yep. So, you know, I think they find their footing hopefully with Alvin a little bit.

The Jamis question, I mean, like is James going to be the guy when he's healthy again? No. What are you trying to do? Are they different? I don't know. I mean, they're very different,

but are the results any different? I think it's going to be a, It's a roller coaster club. Alabe had a concussion, I mean, a high scoring ball game. It's a shame we don't, be honest. We're not taking the Seahawks seriously. Like nobody's doing it. Like everybody's like, wow, sea hawks, they're doing some stuff over there.

And then if you like really walk down the street and they're like, what do you think of the Seahawks? People would be like, oh, they're fun. Yeah. But they're like, tell me, fun how. Yeah. Like funny how. Like, fun how. Tell me about some of their players.

Is their dinner for Schmucks fun? Yeah. Dinner for Smuck. That's a good dinner scene. Tell me. Down 3119 in the fourth quarter, then they take a 32-31 lead. But people aren't watching these guys. Well, some New Orleans fighters are watching them.

So, I mean, shout out to Pete Carroll and those guys. They're exceeding expectations easily this year. San Francisco, Carolina, I guess the lead here is... Jimmy G. Darts in the red zone. Is Tepper. Yeah, and the injuries. Jimmy Ward has a broken hand. They lose Mosley to an ACL.

So they've got injuries. They've always had injuries. And the Niners are off to the homestead. Oh, they're going to the homestead. Yeah, West Virginia. Oh, cool. Yeah, man. I wonder if we, maybe we should go, like, do a feature on Jimmy G.

Yeah. Fire side chat. Or Jeff Wilson. Sure. Sure. Or probably Debo and Kittle would be the guys to talk to. Oh. Matt Rule.

Hasn't been fired yet as of 10.50 a.m. East Coast. East Coast Monday morning. The big question is, if you're, David Tepper, what are you thinking? Hmm. Because the point is you got to fire him this year because the buyouts less

if he goes and gets a college job, right? You got to fire him before that hiring cycle starts. Is Matt Rule going to be the classic goes to college and wins a national championship somewhere and then everybody loves him again? He just stays there. But is that what it's going to be? In Temple. But like these guys go to the league,

they try it on, the jacket doesn't fit. They go back to college and they're like, oh, thank God you're back coach. You know, we missed you. It's like a haircut. We missed you. It's like a haircut that you look back in. You're like, that didn't really work for me, you know?

It didn't work for Matt. It worked for the big tuna and that's, you know, that's my hero. But, you know, it didn't work for me. Nick Saban was even like, fuck this. Yeah, Nick Saban, you know, Urban Meyer. He's like, these motherfuckers don't listen. Yes. So, you know, like, I think the big question is offensive head coach or defensive head coach.

Offensive head coach. They got to go get Demeanor. O'Reyans. They got to go get Mike, you say Kafka, say Kafka. Or Ben Johnson. Ben Johnson of Detroit Lions fame. How about Ben Johnson? You guys thought I was talking about a dick. Ben Johnson.

Joe Brady? Who knows? Bring back Joe Brady. Where is Joe Brady? Where is Joe Brady? Does anyone know where Joe Brady is? It's like Carmen San Diego. I kind of don't want to know. Guess where he is. Is he in college? Nope. He's in the NFL. Cincinnati. Nope. Okay. Whoa, whoa. A team we talked about today and

How I narrows it down. Great, great they are. Like when, so he's quarterback's coach, right? Cowboys. No. Bill's. Yes. That might be it. He might be, he might be the guy there.

Bring him back. But I think. They need a defensive coach, man. Why? Because that's the culture. There's some teams that are so stuck in their ways, even if the roster has turned over and the coaches have turned over. You're just seeing Julius Pepper.

Like I'm seeing Thomas Davis, Luke Keekly, I'm seeing Julius Peppers. What's Matt Rural coach? I think of him as an offensive guy. I do too, right? Why didn't he fix it? Why didn't he waived the offensive head coach Magic Juan? I think honestly the biggest risk of having a defensive head coach is that you're going to, like you can find a boy wonder fucking OC.

They got him laying around. Exactly. Just fucking go get one. And you know you're going to have him for three years and he's going to get signed as a head coach. That's the problem. That's the problem is like your young. dynamic if you hit on the right quarterback like your your your your young quarterback is gonna make somebody a king and then that guy's gonna leave and then

you've got to deal with the adjustment which is gone well in Buffalo not everybody sticks that landing but look at Brandon Staley we just talked about him defensive head coach right did he wreck Justin Herbert no the problem is that he's making bad decisions in my opinion that you know his mantra is the wrong mantra you know and that's anecdotal it's one coach but I bet you if you look back like the hit rate on young quarterback success because I assume that's why you're you're saying like offensive head coach because you're going to draft one next year I'm just looking at Brian Dable and East Rutherford yeah well not every coach is working out that way but I take it like

naggy when he came to the bears he won he won coach of the year you know Mitchell was a pro bowler and we went to the wild card and we had no business being there the year before but Mitchell had no business being the pro ball and the offense that's to the Matt Nagy point that naggy wasn't that good But just an offensive infusion is nice sometimes. But the defense is what carried y'all. And you, in my opinion. You're right. You and the defense.

You and Khalil Mack were great. That was like when I texted you every day. Okay. But that's what it is. It's like, you know, there's no guarantee an offensive guy is going to get it done. And there is a little background for Domingo Ryan's in North Carolina. There's other coaches that are going to be mentioned. I think both Eagles coordinators are going to be up for jobs.

you know, Sean Payton's waiting in the wing, so... You could do the Nick Siriani blueprint of a guy who came from... Indy. And the background in... Offense.

Yeah, well, I like how you... Yeah, I just know. Second question. Why don't we just coach somewhere? Let's not, because we couldn't do this. So that's going to be interesting. Probably,

and another guy we need to watch out for is Ron Rivera, they're playing Thursday night. We'll be back in the Chow line, as we mentioned, to just to eat our... They eat our, I don't know what kind of slop you would like in Thursday night football too last week,

but it'll be bad this weekend. It's like that gray food from the Matrix. They're like, what's in it, everything you need? Yeah. and then this week you got Rivera and then you got Iber flus. you've got, you got Iber flus and it could be Rivera Friday morning, long week, 10 days to figure out, you know, how we're going to change course. There's a couple guys that they got to watch their backs here. The last game I want to mention,

because I don't want Scott to freak out the Jets. We got to give them their due. We got to give Joe Douglas' due. They flipped Adams and Arnold and Darnold, Arnold, drop the D in D Arnold. Adams and Darnold. They turned those guys into Garrett Wilson, Brees Hall, AVT,

Elijah Vera Tucker, who played right tackle yesterday, didn't give up pressure, no problem. You know, they have really, and the quarterback's playing well. Quarterbacks playing well. In the games that he's been in, in the fourth quarter, since he's been back,

13 and 15, five straight touchdown drives, okay? The reason I'm disappointed in the Dolphins yesterday is not, you know, the fact that somebody named Skylar kept an evil genius from chefing something up, there's your breaking bad joke. There you go. Not executed well, especially when you know my partner already beat me the punch.

But it wasn't Skyler Thompson. It wasn't the offense. They possessed the ball a while. A lot of times when there's a backup quarterback, you can blame the defensive performance on that offense, right? Because the complimentary football is out of whack. Time possession is fucked up. I blame the Dolphins defense.

The Dolphins defense, you're a contender? Like, I know you have bad games. And I know the Jets gave Sinci a bad game on defense last. year late in the season. So they have some talent and they've got a couple of young playmakers. But if you're the dolphins, you want me to take you really seriously, you don't give up 40 to the team with a bunch of guys that just got out of high school. Like honestly, they got a bright future, but you're the dolphins. All week I talked about how it was going to be suffocating defense. I did not know Teddy Bridgewater was going to go to

the blue tent when I bet the dolphins. But time of possession wasn't a problem. Dolphins ran the football, they also took some shots, which I think was really interesting as a sidebar. If I have a third string quarterback, third and one right off the bat, Mike McDaniel, not running the ball, I'm taking a shot, Tyreek Hill. Those plays are easy, and they're spot fouls.

They probably picked up 100 plus yards and free plays. So interesting sidebars, if I'm ever a head coach and I got a shitty quarterback, I'm just going to throw the ball up. I'm going to under throw footballs, because that's going to take care of itself. And I'm going to, but Lawson, Quinn and Williams, Myers, those guys were beasts, man.

They played better than the guys on Miami's defense. Sauce Gardner had a pick. Open the game up with a safety. Yep. So give the Jets their due, but in the same vein, I'm not, bro, I know two is not out there. I know you got a third string quarterback, but 40 points of Jets.

You expect me to take you seriously as like a contender. 19 to 17, beginning in the fourth quarter, Jason Sanders misses a field goal, and that was all she wrote. Breece Hall is giving me Matt Forte a bit. Vibes? Skill set. Really? Yeah.

They don't look alike on the field, but I mean, I just watch him catch the ball, and I watch a one cut back in space, looking confident in space. I mean, he runs the ball hard, runs the ball well. And Zach obviously feels really comfortable giving him the ball, and that's what Forte was for a very long time in Chicago. Yep, yep. I think that's a big compliment. They got something.

They got something there because you got guys to throw the ball to. You got guys to check the ball down to. You went out and got some tight ends. You got a coverage player and sauce. You've got Quina Williams inside. You have a lot of those boxes checked. You have a lot of those boxes checked. Dwayne Brown, Lakin Tomlinson, Connor McGovern.

You got Dwayne Brown off of IR. And Joe Douglas we trust, man. In Joe Douglas we trust. So that's the last of the best, the rest, right? I mean, oh, I'll save commanders for mentions.

You guys got any mentions? Miller Light mentions. Best and worst plane ride.

Many men. Bro. Be Rob. Be Rob. Brian Robinson. I don't know what mention we're going to give Brian Robinson, but the fact that they actually played many men as he ran out on the field. Mixed feelings about that.

Well, I would hope that it was his choice. I think it was his choice. I don't think some... You can't go rogue playing 50. There was some guy up in the booth. He's like, wait until Brian Robinson. I got a great idea. But people watching our sport in another country are like,

holy shit, America is the Wild West. Imagine there was a really hardcore sport in another country and a guy got shot because gun violence is a big problem in that country as well. And they're like, this sport is brutal. Gun violence sucks. And when the guy comes back in less than a month because these fucking people are crazy Americans, we're going to play a song about getting shot and coming back.

And people are just going to go like crazy for it. Like what's going on in that country, right? Oh, right. Right. I'd be like, man, I'm not traveling there. There's diarrhea coming out of the pipes. The PA system. Good thing they won't let us into that country.

Yeah, exactly. Oh my God. It's a callback. Yeah, I know. Real life events. Previous administration. Their life events. All right.

Best plane ride, the Tennessee Titans. Not only do they escape the stinky line. They're on a buy. You barely got time to get peanuts either on the way home. Right. Like they can't even pass through the aisle. Home. On a buy.

Week six, buy weeks. Feels a touch early. I mean, there's so many weeks now. Still a lot of fun stuff you can do in October. You can go see your alma mater's game. Pumpkin patch. It's a nice time to-apple picking. Yep.

There's a bunch of shit going on. Oh, hey. Hey, what week is y'all's ideal by week? Eight. So you got 18 weeks. Nine. No, no, no, no, 10, 10, 10, 10. 10.

10. 10. 12 12 yeah okay yeah so uh i'll go best plane ride uh and they're leading the division those tennessee titans looking like the tennessee titans of old can i go best plane ride russell douglas he couldn't wait to get the fuck out of london dude he was right told you he hated london and then and big shout out to my guy he couldn't wait to get out of london and remind everybody on the plane how much it sucked and how he was right for sure and he was right and he was right and he had a bad day and he was accountable. He said, I just told everybody, my fault. You know what

I'm saying? I had these three uncharacteristic fucking penalties. I love that. There's a study, highly intelligent people use cuss words a lot, Harvard study. So, Rassul Douglas is brilliant. I had three uncharacteristic fucking penalties that I don't usually get, but I had them, and I think that fucked up the whole defense. So he had the second down, unnecessary roughness led to that go ahead score. He hates London. Yeah. The food,

the pageantry, the whole thing, the losing to the Giants, and he probably had a pretty good flight. He could not wait to be, nobody could wait to be back in Appleton, Wisconsin, like, ever than Roussel Douglas,

dude. Best flight, I've got it up here on the screen. My old teammate from the Kansas City Chiefs, Creed Humphrey, he was on a flight, and Chris Bedea tweets, Imagine my disappointment when I realized after getting off my flight that the nice guy who traded seats so my wife could sit by me was Creed Humphrey.

If I had figured it out sooner, my wife would have been sitting by herself. Thanks, man, go chiefs. I got that ugly mug up there. Creed Humphrey, shout out to him. Best flight for that couple. They got to sit together with no problems because of a great traffic cop in Creed Humphrey. Well, could have given a seat up to a member of the armed forces, but. Yeah.

Well. All right. what are we going to do I'll go Hey you want me to trade Cs no problem No problem Best

Yeah right exactly You want to trade seats Yeah no problem Unless it's Larry Dave and that woman on the plane You know she wants the The aisle Yeah that It gets a little dice here

If you want me to get into the middle She's got a pee She's on the She's sleeping on the little You know what do they call that thing People put on their neck pillow That's a neck pillow That's a neck pillow

Did you hear, we're wearing them wrong? It's supposed to, the horseshoe is supposed to be open on the top. Yeah. Really? Yeah. Oh, to support your neck. So we can like go like this. I need a neck pillow like honestly for around the house.

Yeah. Dad wore one when he played. He did. True. He did. Behind him. He started that whole trend. Yep.

That's amazing. Good point. They owe him a fucking check. They do. Worst plane ride. I don't know because I was going to give it to the fucking packers. Worst plane ride. The Packers.

There you go. Everybody upset. Resuel Douglas, that's fine. Let's get the fuck out of here. When we leaving, Coach? Tomorrow morning, when did they leave? That's the question. I would assume right away.

Not always so. One time we got beat by the pads, but no bi-week. 44-7 and we had to stay overnight. You probably had a bi-week. They used to do your right on that front. Detroit Lions for me, one in four, Dan Campbell calls it rock bottom.

I have the Detroit Lions as well, but I'm going to switch it to yesterday when I was flying back from New York. I boarded my plane and there was a small man in a hot topic type outfit and he was sitting in my seat. I'm assuming it was a man. He was sitting in my seat. And when I went to the overhead bag, he goes, are you sitting here? And I said, yes, this is my seat.

And he goes, do you mind if I sit? And I said, get out of the sea, bro. What? Get out of the sea. What? You little rascal. Do you mind if I sit here? He was like, he was like, because, you know, obviously it was the single seat on the right side in first class.

and then there's the two seat on the left side. So there's two asses and one ass. Mine was the one ass side because that's preferential. And yeah, he was like, would you mind? And I was like, no, I would. Did you, in what, like, really in your words? I was like, I would. You said it like that?

Yeah. Oh my God, go. And this was a smaller, probably 45, you know, edgy, definitely divorced. Okay. A lot going on. With an attitude like that. Patent leather shoes. bright, you know, Balenciaga type.

And he was just right across the aisle? Yeah, and I was like, yeah. Wow. That's, hey, bro, that's a code break. Oh, can I red light something in the middle of these mentions? Black pants, bro. They were everywhere yesterday. They were like five teams with black pants.

Like Cardinals, Blackhounds. The fucking. The fucking Ravens, the fucking, the fucking, the Eagles. And you know what's terrible about coaches? They are so fucking simple. They're so smart and so simple. They're like, oh, black pants, we got to wear those again. You know, like they're really superstitious.

That's a problem. Or if they lose, we're never wearing that again. Oh, yeah? So let's go undefeated now in our stupid uniform choice that you like. You know, we ran out of jerseys. Oh, yeah. Okay, Oregon. That's why Oregon, this organ's playing chess, bro.

All right. STL Memorial Frank Gore Award. Go ahead. Yeah. Well, I won't give it to Tyler Lockett every week. I'll give it to his teammate D.K. Metcalfe. Everybody thought, oh, this passing game. has been shut down because Russ is out the door.

Decaf, 350 yards receiving on the year, a couple of tuds started off this game with a 50-yarder, balling in obscurity because the Seahawks are fun as discussed, but not quite a complete operation. I'm gonna give it to you being a dad after that football game Saturday, going home, a couple bruising you, a couple pops in you, and having to parent, I FaceTime you from Dirty Nellys,

like, let's go, and your lovely daughter, and you having a nice time on the family, room floor your hair's all fucked up you look he look you look you look good uh this top five making number two tipsy making being like oh i wasn't i wasn't tipsy parenting all right i was sober parent okay i was tipsy football watching yeah and it all changed my time you got home oh that switch flips pretty quick yeah i know it does yeah so i've got my stel memorial slash frank gore award up here on the screen it's on youtube it is the brown's heavy fullback number 72 yelta froholds from Denmark.

Here he is in the bear four point position. Look at that's absolute way of the block down here on the goal line first in goal. Number 72. I thought him again.

That same knee, same shoulder. That's some rugby shit. I don't even know if they play rugby in Denmark, but he needs to try out for that team too. That's my STL Memorial

because I love a good, thick spearhead. That's sick, Kyle. The best part about this is you doing your homework on the middle of life mentions because I pick the first name

I saw on the first box score I clicked on and Chris did even. Crystal hasn't thought up one. And I actually had some help from Reed and Matt on the pronunciation, Yelda Froholt. If you looked at the way it's spelled, I think it's H-J-A-L-T-E, which is like, H-JL-T-E, which is like, hey jalti. And they're like, nah, it's Yelda, bro. Say that. Copenhagen, that's where that's in Denver.

Copenhagen. H-J's. That's where Dan Campbell's going to make a pilgrimage, too. So we've got a Hollow Man. I'll go Kyler Murray, ma'am. I mean, Kyle Murray. I'm a rename it to

Kyleor Murray once. Jeez. He's won it a couple times, I think. Quite literally hollow wearing that green screen suit. You can put anything on him. Yeah. Shout out to the green light socials.

I'm going Michael Dixon. Did y'all see this punt attempt? This was electric. Okay, look at this, Chris. Fourth and nine. Yeah. He's doing a little rugby runout. It's 10-10 in the second quarter,

Seahawks Saints. And check this out. my man just doesn't hit the button to pun it away oh no he hit the hurdle button like the button must be stuck what the fuck is he doing

watch this watch this the other angle is sometimes legitimately when you're on the field you can forget what you're doing Michael Dixon Texas hook him horns tattooed punters okay he's like oh maybe there's operations good front sides blocked up well

backside is just what is he doing man what is he doing I don't know. Who is the backside personal protector? Okay. It's not about your victim blaming. You can see him the whole time. The C-Ox special teams, yeah.

So Taysome Hill involved somehow. Tase him hell. He does that too. You can see 96 like the entire time. Yeah, it's not good. Not good, Bob. But good. Yeah.

Michael Dixon, for sure. That's a good one. Oh, Beville Conway. My alma man, Dan Campbell. Oh, sorry. You let me down, Dan. I loved you. I was about to go hit some power cleans and come try to play for you

because I love the way Penae Sewell plays. I love the way you guys play on offense. I wish you played better defense. But what the hell was last week, man? That was not good. What are we doing out here? He'd be the first to tell you. He already did.

Yeah, he already did. He really was the first to tell us. That's on me. That's the thing I appreciate it about him. That's not an act. He like automatically he will be accountable. And he's one of those coaches that even if it doesn't work out, and I think it's going to work out.

Because like he's, they've improved. Like I said, they're better than we thought. Exactly. The problem is it's like the Jags. You're ahead of schedule. Now we expect more of you. It stinks to look up and be one in four after such progress. It does.

It does. But Dan, no matter what happens, I think Dan's going to be respected because Dan is accountable and he's all those things that so many coaches aren't. And not that that gets you a win, but I appreciate that. Ooh, viewing party. I was going to go. viewing party. I was going to go me or Reed and Nate when I threw my phone into the wall. When Carson Wentz threw a pick, Reed, take people through the conversation that was had as the commanders got in the little ride. Right before you had asked us, what scary are Carson with the ball

on the goal line or the rest of the team having to have a second play, no timeouts left? And I said, I would not put the ball in Carson's hands. Right. And I kind of argued the other way. You proved us exactly, or you proved yourself exactly right. Three times, right? And all he had to do was just hand the ball off or not put the ball in his hands. Put it in his hands, almost through a pick three times. And then he ends up throwing the interception. And you have a pretty good frisbee toss.

You just let it go. My frisbee is making calls. Yeah. Like my frisbee has made calls. Like, so this is a cool feature that my frisbee has. It makes calls. You can play can jam with it. I checked that thing of the wall.

No harm, no foul. It didn't even break. But Reed, your laugh is so funny. Like, your laugh, Nate's laugh. Like, I live to make you guys laugh. If I got to lose a bet here and there, like that, I'm happy with that. And the best, the phone hit the wall.

You got up and said, I have to go to the bathroom. From the bathroom, you yelled, I fucking towed you all. Yeah, I told you all. I told you all. So a viewing party was you guys. By the way, our new live stream set up is insane.

It's awesome. I want a room like. that in my house. You have one. Not really. TV's broken. Big screen TV's broken in my house. Come to my house. Hey, don't you just hand the ball to Brian? 10 p.m. I want to watch TV. Brian Robinson. I mean, doesn't that put a bow on the feel good story of the week? Yeah, do. Yes. Brian Robinson. Yeah. I jumped on DC Moneyline when it looked clear. Bluery. I'm talking. I can't see. Okay. Give me your viewing party, guys. We're almost home. My viewing party.

What did I have written down for here? So tonight, Chiefs Raiders, the Hunt family apartment at the GEHA Stadium. What is it? GEHA Field Arrowhead Stadium. That's what it is. Gihaha. So the Hunt family owns an apartment in the stadium, Chris. Yeah?

I would love to just be, like, rent it out, like Airbnb status and throw a party and watch this game tonight. I think it's going to be fireworks. Yeah, windows into the joint. So Georgia, Georgia Frontier, whatever her name was. She was the Rams. Yeah. Rest in peace was she had an apartment above our facility. And, you know, like, so there was like a bar up there, some bedrooms.

It's kind of cool. I would love to own a team just for that reason, just to have like a second home. And I can watch football out of my window when people are practicing. Like wake up from an east. evening nap, opening your blinds, and Patrick Mahomes driving down the field

like, yeah. Yeah. Okay, can I give you an asshole the week? Mm. It's Antonio Brown.

No. Oh, that was mean. Bro, like, the guy took you in. Okay? Okay. The guy took you in.

A week ago, we're talking about Kyle Brandt. Don't bring people's families into it, right? I thought, you know,

hey, Kyle Brandt making that point, it's fine, right? Like, if we're allowed to make objective, uh,

decisions on what we think about somebody's like vibe, their personality. If you want to say Russell tries too hard, I would agree. He tries too hard, but that doesn't make him a bad guy. Um, it, it, uh, to bring that anecdote into the, Matt rule has been fired. Oh, wow. That's been fired. Breaking news. It is 1114 a.m. East coast. Matt rule has been fired. According to Ian Rappaport. Blow it. Blow it. Blow the hunger, Hunger Games whistle. Viking skull horn. But as I was saying. You know, with Brandt, where he got in trouble was he brought his personal anecdote into it.

So it seemed like it was about, you know, his deal. And he mentioned Sierra. And like, you know, five days later in a totally different vein, Antonio Brown just like going nuclear on a guy who invited you into his home, like rent free, dude. And you're just being an asshole. I don't get it. And the younger generation, there's a lot of people that will just explain away

everything Antonio Brown does. Oh, he's dropping an album. Oh, he's cool, man. Like, he's fucking, he says what he wants. No, he's fucking crazy. He's lost his mind, dude. And he's a bad guy. He's being an asshole.

He's just being an asshole. That's not cool. Like, I don't care. Like, I know some things are fair game, but like, that's just not that cool. So, um, asshole the week, A.B. You guys got any Beville Conway? It's the pass for me.

And, and it's. Could be a clean, sweeper. Yeah. And like the 30,000 foot view of the lines is not so bad. When they're doing that silver, white silver. Imagine they were wearing the Wayne fonts. Right.

That whole thing would have looked like on grass. Right. They did all that shit. But at least the colors were right. Amazing. They didn't do. We'll give that out. Bebble Conway, the Pats.

Yep. And then game ball real quick, Josh Allen. Who else could it be? Taysam Hill, four touchdowns. Yeah. Game ball. Sequin Barclay. Nice.

Okay. Game ball. us. We're out on time. Great. I'm going to go do Rich Eisen's show and now we've got Nicole Auerbach and we talk some college football. Sick. See you guys next week. Peace. Nicole Auerbach joins us again and it's really helpful that she's on this week because Nicole, after Virginia lost Louisville, I quit college football. So I'm not even going to act like I saw a lot of football Saturday. It was alumni weekend here. Maybe I got drunk in about 11 p.m. I like, oh, there's still football on.

They all kept playing. What did you see Saturday that stood out? What was the biggest story to you in college football? Well, first of all, maybe, maybe you drank alcohol to forget the Virginia game. I feel like the odds were a little bit higher than maybe for that. Yeah, it was more than maybe. I need to know what was the drink of choice after anything like that. Well, obviously, Cold Miller Light, but a lot of,

I busted open this, this, um, McCallon that's got like an orange label. And, you know, I like scotch, but I'm no like smart guy that drinks scotch. So I don't know like which is which. Um, I kind of stick to the basics. But my father-in-law gave me this nice bottle of scotch. I think it's 18 years old. And it's got an orange label. And I was like, fuck it, we're busting this thing open.

You know, so, you know, a little scotch. I feel like that should have been for like a good occasion though. Maybe. No. That's when, no, that's a good, this is a good debate. Because I feel like you want to drink your expensive liquor when, when your pets' heads are falling off. You know, like, like in Dumb and Dumber when they're just the pits, like I'm going top shelf when things that, when the chips are down. So like when we win, I'll drink anything.

You know, like it could be whatever. But when we lose, you know, I got to treat myself, Nicole, you know. Okay. So that's fair. I kind of operate the other way. Like I will buy a nice bottle of Voov when I want to celebrate something. instead of like $9 per secco. And I actually don't think it helps at all with a headache.

But this is a perfect segue way because I do want to talk about a team that should be popping bottles and should be celebrating. And I think hopefully the good stuff, JMU is ranked. They are five, there are five games into being an FBS program. Do you know how ridiculous this is that they're already ranked? We just went through this whole thing about how long it had been since Kansas was relevant and ranked, all these things. JM you gets to do it five games in like they look really good and I knew this program was built like they were ready to make this jump but it never goes to this smoothie so I hope that they are actually popping bottles to celebrate this well my producer cowboy reed is drunk right now I mean he's

trying to hide it but I know he's drunk because this weekend as you said like his dukes are top 25 I just want to point this out deepest football state in America it might be the deepest not the best but maybe the deepest football state in America I'm just putting that out there Nicole. But does deepest, does deepest need to be good, though? Shouldn't there be a quality? We're riding JMU's coattails. Like, that's what we're doing. Like, jam you and then the time O to you beat Tech. And then Virginia Tech will probably win a game, like a big game in here somewhere. Hopefully not against us later in the year. But yeah, we're a deep football state. You know, I was just, I was thinking about, yeah, like, I just lost a bet earlier. Commanders. I bet on the commanders. I don't know why.

and yeah i was i should be poppin asa spades you actually make a you make a good point i'm rethinking the way i drink okay so jm u's ranked they're 25th in the nation when will they be humbled because that happened to kansas right this weekend we we had the big coming out party game day okay they were they were they were not humbled okay i missed it so tell me my main okay so this is the main takeaway kansas acquitted itself really well even though jalen daniels got hurt their backup quarterback by the way you'll love it his name is jason bean bean is just a great name there's so many jokes that you can i actually had a tab open at one point it was just like bean puns i was trying to find like some good funny things uh that people could just like roll their eyes at surprisingly not a lot

of good bean puns but you got you like over under five on your shoot of paper i tried but i just like ended up going for like a like a uh screenshot of mr bean because there really wasn't there really wasn't much. But what was cool about that, though, was that Kansas remained an incredibly fun offense, really creative and really competitive. I mean, I think a lot of people thought that TCU was just going to blow them out

and that they were not in this league. But Kansas really did play well. They had a chance to win it at the end. It was legitimately a game that lived up to expectation. So I don't think that Kansas was necessarily humbled. I don't think even thought they were going to go undefeated. except for myself and all of the college football playoff talk for yeah i know i outside of the two diehard fans on this podcast um i i just i think that they're going to factor into the big 12

various no matter how it plays out just because someone's going to have to go through them i think they're just a good football program so that was my main takeaway and also it's fun to talk about jason beam and he played really really well last year i'll give you this stat i know this is mostly a fun podcast and we don't want too many stats. I like stats. No, I like stats. We're stats. We do a lot of stats sometimes, sometimes. Okay. That made me immediately think of the Pat Narduzzi drop. The stats are for losers drop. Stats are for losers, dude. Narduzzi was so mad at ESPN after that first game this year. Do you remember his post game interview? He was so pissed. He was like, I'm coming to Bristol and I'm

kicking everybody's ass. I'm like, I chill. He's, he is, he's always mad about something. He's a Pittsburgh guy, Pittsburgh guy. Yeah, he's perfect. Okay, so last year, Jason Bean started nine games for Kansas. He threw six total touchdowns and threw six interceptions over the course of the entire season. He threw four touchdowns in the second half on Saturday. Like, that's a good offensive coordinator. That's a much better football team. So I'm still all in on Kansas.

You must be be beaning with pride. You must be beaning with pride. Wow. Are you proud of yourself? That was pretty good. Yeah, that was pretty good. That's good. Okay, cool, cool, cool, cool.

Okay, we're not like out on Kansas. They're good football team. Who's got game day this week, by the way? Tennessee. Oh, Tennessee hosting Alabama. America's team, dude. America's team, and it's reflected in the way you ranked Bama after this weekend. Talk to me about Bama.

They're down at what, seven for you? Okay, so I dropped them significantly, and they didn't drop that much in the AP poll, but they did lose their number one rank. I just thought that they look very pedestrian without the Heid's and trophy winner, which is probably very obvious that Bryce Young did a lot. I mean, he was kind of a magician at different times last year and against Texas and earlier this year. But it was just such a massive drop off about like what they can do. If Jimbo Fisher calls a better play with the game on the line, they lose that game. And Jalen Milrow, it's just like it's reminiscent of like the early Nick Savan Alabama teams where.

the offense wasn't evolved and wasn't explosive. And it's just a grime. So I just, I don't think that that is one of the four best teams in the country. We'll see, though, because Tennessee looks really, really good.

I don't know if anyone would say that they actually are America's team, even though I know we love to, you know, just label everyone American team. Yeah, we just label. People are, well,

people are tired of Alabama, for sure. Yeah, that's what makes them this weekend, to me, we're all going to be volunteers. Today, we are all volunteers,

that kind of thing. They are, They are America's team of the week. Yeah, exactly. That's kind of, now you get this segment. You're getting, we're on it. Okay. It doesn't make sense.

It doesn't make sense. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Well, we almost gave it to the Dukes, but, you know, I think, I think you're right that, that Tennessee is probably. Like, this was a Tennessee team that I had questions about how they were going to play at LSU, even though LSU's not been great. And they just totally blew the doors off them in that game. And, like, they looked better defensively than they have.

Hen and Hookers, a legitimate high. candidate this is going to be a really good game especially if Bryce young either can't go or isn't 100 percent people are going to really be riding that tennessee in this one and i just want to take a minute to point out the henn and hooker was in blacksburg um and if you go to blacksburg you'll be that much worse than the best version of henn and hooker is is in knoxville i don't care where you go just don't go to blacksburg if you're listening to this pod and your great college football prospect look at what happened to Hennon Hooker. He's like the best guy ever now.

And in Blacksburg, we weren't even afraid of him, you know, so. So that's, that's also why he's, that's why it's America's team. That's why is America's team. Yeah, just drive, Blacksburg stock down. How about DTR? Is he in the Heisman race? Yeah, I think he is too. So UCLA is really, really fun too.

I think like that's been, I know that's kind of what I continue to sell you on every single week. It's like teams that are fun. But their offense is three dimensional. Obviously, you've got DTR and he's playing better over the last two weeks than he has his entire career at UCLA. And he came in with so much hype. This is like the quarterback we thought we were going to get. And then Jake Bobo, the receiver and Zach Sharbonnet, the running back. Like that is just a really ridiculously talented trio. And they're for real. I mean, like, this is going to be a UCLA team that I think when they play USC is going to be really competitive. in a couple weeks they're going to play Oregon.

Like the PAC 12 is so much more competitive in the top half. And UCLA is a great example of that. But like I legitimately think DTR is going to have a Hizmann push. And that's something I think a lot of people wrote him off and said that he didn't live up to expectations. The same way we did about DJ Oweonga Leli, right? Like people wrote him off and now he's playing well. It's kind of the same thing with DTR, although he's just, he's fantastic over the last two weeks.

If he keeps playing like this, he's going to get a trip to New York, which is, pretty stunning. And I don't know if anyone would have said like UCLA, potential Pac-12 champion, potential playoff team, potential Heisman candidate. But that's really where we are with Chip Kelly's team. I think people wrote Chip off in like, in a way, you know, nationally. People were like, Chip Kelly's going to UCLA. This will be fun. And then they kind of struggled out of the gates, it felt like if my memory serves me correctly. And DTR kind of was up and down. And, you know, watching from the other side of the country, I could feel the vitriol for this kid because there was so much expectation.

And it's also cool to see, I know, like, transfer portal, great, like it's good, guys are moving around, but like a guy stays in one place, Philly's been there a million years, you know, like relative to seeing other guys in one program. And it's working out for him. So happy for that kid.

How about this? I'll leave you on a tough one. How bad does it have to get in Miami for people to start, like, talking about it? you know i know people are talking about but i mean it you know i don't want to say that out loud but like is it's not a this year thing it's early it's early no it's so early but it's but it's Miami it's like they're crazy but it's so are they are okay so here's another one that i'll throw in there and not say it Oklahoma yes like as close as you can be to

and i like texted this to one of my colleagues i was like i know brent venables isn't on the hot seat. Right. But like, and I know obviously like the whatever honeymoon period is totally gone, but like this is bad. This is a bad football team. Like I it's it's really uncomfortable and bad. And the Oklahoma fans are just rioting. Like they're just every single Saturday, Lincoln Riley's name trends on Twitter during the Oklahoma game. And his brother. Bad. Yes. It's it's bad. And so like in both of those situations like it's year one. We're only we're not even halfway through season. But it's bad. It's really uncomfortable in both of those situations because, like, you thought this was going to be a slammed on hire and it's just uncomfortable.

Yeah, I remember Venables on the PJ Boomer? And you're like, man, this guy, he says Boomer, like real smooth. This feels like it's a perfect fit. It's all you need. It's dangerous how smooth he was with the whole boomer sooner thing. And I was like, damn, this guy, it fits like a glove. But yeah, interesting. A couple new coaches having trouble finding their footing in big programs.

And we'll see how the patience is. in certain places. Okay, Nicole, appreciate you. It sounded like a fun Saturday for some college football fans, and we can't wait to have you back next week. All right, see you next week. Thanks a lot.
