But this is his biggest acting role debut, where he's a featured cast member for multiple, multiple episodes. I think what's your other close to a moon base eight where you had the moon base eight?

Vance and, of course, the first two episodes of grotesque Eddie, uh, starring, uh, Nisi Nash, Courtney B Vance, and of course the big Yeti. We'll air on FX. Ooh, nice.
Starting point is 00:04:52 Are you the bad guy? Are you, are you the killer? Can't tell you. You're going to have to watch Jason. Make sure you have the girls watch this. They're going to love this show. Listen, Kylie will murder me. I am going to have the girls and then the moment is there
Starting point is 00:05:07 like a warning or is there a lot of surprises? That was this completely a joke. Do not let the girls watch this show. I don't know if they'll even like understand what's going on in the show. You know what movie we watched? It's very, it's very like, I don't know. Yeah, it's a little bit too advanced. Yeah, I'm with you. It's a little too advanced for toddlers. I forget, I think I was having the girls watch RRR.
Starting point is 00:05:37 I was watching RRR and Kyler was like, what are you doing? The opening scene is, it's not funny. I don't know, I'm laughing because you let your daughter's watch Because I got you kidding me, but you know, we did just watch which so Why is it the stage now where she enjoys who's not good? Wasn't hopefully I didn't do permanent damage Hopefully, I didn't do permanent damage. Hopefully, why it doesn't start like, hopefully we don't find neighborhood pets riddled in

Starting point is 00:06:33 It's not good at all. All right. Anyways, Mama Kelsey also appeared to stop by the Crote Tesquari premiere. Look at mom. Looking fantastic. I like that. She's like a nice wine color on her. Yeah, did she know she was going to match so well?
Starting point is 00:06:48 I don't know. I think she just, you know. She went with like the purplish burgundy, which is like- She just knew she was going to look good in it and she was like, I'm rocking it. That's a good horror like color. Like when I think of bad, I think of purple for some reason. Is that because of Super Mario? Like all the bad guys are always purple? I don't know. I don't know. Like Waluigi? I do know that mom got to meet Nisi. Nice. And had nothing but amazing things to say about her. Which everyone does. Nisi Nash is amazing. Yeah. And she just had a blast. She went up there with Uncle Don and Aunt Joan and everybody, they were all texting me afterwards telling me they enjoyed it and they can't wait to keep watching it.
Starting point is 00:07:26 And I'm just like, man, I didn't know you guys were into thrillers like this. You're excited about the premiere? Yeah, I'm excited. I just want to see, you know, I haven't seen anything yet. I kind of been just like focused on training camp and football as everything's been getting edited and finished.

Yeah, I mean, yeah, you read the scripts and everything and I'm not gonna lie,
Starting point is 00:07:56 I focused on my parts more than I like understood the entire like grand scheme of the show. Sure. So there are parts that I was like, watching the trailer, I'm just like, oh, this is, this is, this is really interesting. Oh, that was happening. I'm definitely gonna gonna dive in and watch it for sure. Well, it'll be nice to see a Kelsey finally in something other than a commercial. But while we're on the topic of commercials, let's talk about your Pepsi commercial. Oh, nice. Yeah, that was awesome. That's the other thing besides this beautiful series,
Starting point is 00:08:31 premier scripted content that's coming out tonight. Probably, I mean, it's gotta be commercial of the year. I mean, star studded. Dude, it's pretty sweet. It was an awesome kickoff to the football season. Like when you get to like put on like a cool outfit like that, like Pepsi custom made our armor, our gladiator's armor. Is it actually metal or is it like plastic? Don't lie to me. What? Don't lie to me.
Starting point is 00:09:01 I had to defend myself from a tiger. You think that shit's plastic? Oh my gosh, it's plastic. You're ridiculous, Jason. I hate this. And I dig it to keep it, which is pretty sweet. That's pretty cool. Josh, Derek Henry, Justin Jefferson, they all did fucking unbelievable jobs.
Starting point is 00:09:16 And sure enough, the director, Jake Scott, is the son of Ridley Scott, who directed the actual movie, Gladiators, and I cannot wait to see that movie. It looks so good He's directed a lot of movies. Yeah. Yeah, and his son Job Jake just he rolled us through everything and knocked everything out real fast and it was just awesome he knew exactly how he wanted to get everything shot and Yeah, he was unbelievable at giving me the direction literally. So I'm coachable man. You coach me up. I can do it
Starting point is 00:09:45 Ridley taught him well, and it was just fun. It was cool to see the the final product Well, yeah, it wasn't it was an awesome final product you guys fended off the Tigers you danced you sang You came together as as a group of friends as gladiators do ready for week one of the NFL Yeah, have my man Winnie, Winnie the Bish out there.

Starting point is 00:10:13 Dude, yeah, dude, Neil is awesome. His standups are great too. Yes. And you don't realize he's directed a lot of stuff. I didn't know that. I didn't know it at all. I thought he, cause I knew he was, he was involved with a Chappelle show. Yes.
Starting point is 00:10:28 And I had obviously seen a standup, but I did not know. Like when I showed up to the commercial shoot and he was directing, I was like, what the, what's going on right now? It's an honor. It really is an honor. He did a, he did my lowest commercial with me and McCaffrey. Oh nice nice Shout out to McCaffrey man. Hopefully gets on the field here soon, but yeah, man.

And that was a new news that took forever and is brought to you by United Airlines where good leads the way. Better believe it. Let's get some football.
Starting point is 00:12:56 Chiefs 22 Falcon 17 Sunday Night Football NBC. Are you ready for some football? Oh man. Initial thoughts from the game, Trev? Anything you want to start off with? Pat said it. Coach Reed said it. You know, we're finding ways to win games and we're not playing our best football.
Starting point is 00:13:12 Everybody can clean it up. I think everyone saw my drop in the fourth quarter, that crucial third down. Just trying to do too much before putting the ball away. And that's probably the biggest thing for me is making the play in big time moments like that. I think with how defenses are playing us right now, I'm not really getting a lot of opportunities to make plays down the field, but not using that as an excuse moving forward, still trying to make sure that I can help the team out in that regard, knowing that I've been that weapon for us in the past and moving forward. It's just you know, everyone's
Starting point is 00:13:46 everyone's just tweaking their game in the right direction. And we know what we have to do to get better this week. Going, going out west to play the Chargers and excited for the challenge baby. And we're we're three and oh man, it doesn't get any better than a than a three and oh start. Pat and Coach Reed r asked about Big Yeti. We talked about this. We're calling plays for Travis,
Starting point is 00:14:08 and it's like two or three people are going to him. People are really emphasizing trying to take him away, Pat said, and then Andy says, they're working hard at taking Kelsey out of the picture. If they're doing that, Rashia's going to get a lot of catches, and Trav knows that. Sometime that will level off.
Starting point is 00:14:24 Whatever it is, it's football, baby. What are you now? It like I'm not getting caught up in getting the targets and all that. I just want to have a successful offense. And I think Pat's doing a great job of finding the open guy and making the right decisions right now. And we just have to keep finding it's a new offense, new players, new pieces. And we're just finding, you know, how to have success throughout the
Starting point is 00:14:46 season. As an offense, you're going to go through these ups and downs throughout the season. And you just want to make sure that you clear that you clean up all the mistakes that you're you're making sure that you're communicating so that everybody understands exactly where we're going moving forward. And nobody does it better than Coach Reed and Pat Mahomes in that regard. There's no question. I mean, it has been, it feels like you guys have dealt with this
Starting point is 00:15:08 and semblances of it over the last couple of years, especially last year, midway through the season, defense playing well, and then you guys turned it on in the second half of it. But these soft coverages where they're really taking everything away underneath or giving you everything underneath, but taking away the explosive. And you have to take these little, you know, I mean, you're running the ball like crazy and you have to when they're giving you boxes the way you guys are getting them. Can imagine that you're frustrated. I've had a lot of catches in this league, man. I'm not worried about, you know, the catches and the yards and all of that.
Starting point is 00:15:41 I have the most fun when I get the ball thrown my way. I mean, who does it? Of course, execution feels emotional. yards and all of that. I have the most fun when I get the ball thrown my way. I mean, who does it? Of course. Execution feels emotion. But it has everything to do with execution, just making sure that we're doing whatever we can to win these football games, man. That's always going to be the goal. It's going to go your way, especially if you freaking keep being the guy you've always been. You know what I mean? There ain't nobody that I've ever played sports with and nobody
Starting point is 00:16:02 that anybody's ever been on a team with that has loved being out there with Trav more and I know it's it's frustrating for me to watch and have to listen to but I can't wait. We don't gotta put that in there but. I just can't wait. I fucking can't wait for it to turn and if it doesn't as long as we're winning football games, we good to go, baby Rashid had a hell of a game Carson steel had a hell of a game my dog for two man Dundee as I call him. He's got the Crockett J alligator back in Indiana as a Present from his dad, which is the coolest thing ever man, and he just he runs the ball Like a maniac man, just like a Frank train.
Starting point is 00:16:47 So people will call him the white rhino. Uh, he's, he's hitting the hole and he's dragging guys for an extra three, four yards every single time he on, he hits somebody or he's at the point of contact and you just love a guy that, that just, that just hits the hole like that. And it's just, it puts such a strain on the defense. I don't like comparing guys to like necessarily like when there's a white running back and I feel like they are white D linemen, they always get compared to like other white guys.
Starting point is 00:17:16 You know what I mean? I don't like that comparison. But when he leans forward, he looks so much like Larry's Anka. Like you remember watching Larry Zonka run? I wasn't expecting that. It's almost like a torpedo that's like at an angle off the ground. Yeah. Like that's what he reminds me of for some fucking reason. I don't know why. That's a hell of a fucking reference right there. That's pretty good. Yeah, Rashi, he's rolling right now, man. I couldn't be happier for the guy You want to talk about one of the hardest workers in the building man week in week out day in day out
Starting point is 00:17:47 He is out there busting his ass in practice and I'll tell you what man. He's Getting rewarded with the way he's playing right now. Yeah, and he's really he's I mean, he's the he's the charge right now He's the he's the the front runner in terms of like who we're going to who we're trying to get the ball in his hands every single time he touches the ball he's breaking tackles he's finding a way to get the ball he's he's finding a way to get uh first downs he's doing an unbelievable job in terms of blocking and just uh helping his uh the rest of his teammates out when they got the rock and it's just he's playing you know selfless football and uh and i couldn't be happy for right now know, selfless football and I couldn't be happy for her right now. Yeah. He's playing phenomenal. And he's making, one of the things I love watching a guy is yards after the catch. I got it turns like an average catch into
Starting point is 00:18:35 something special. And he's been doing it all season long. He's right now he's leading all players in yards after the catch this season with 200. He also leads all receivers with forced missed tackles with nine. So he has been electric with the ball in his hands. So yeah, they should probably keep throwing it to him because good things are happening. Defense comes up big in spags. We trust the Chiefs defense continues to play at a high level. The defense finished with two sacks, eight tackles for loss, 10 quarterback hits, and an interception. How about that? That's a lot of negative plays.
Starting point is 00:19:07 Let's get into some of these highlights, starting with the interception and lateral. Very Ed Reed, Baltimore Ravens-esque. Whenever I see an interception lateral, I always think of the Ravens. I feel like they did this for a number of years. Yeah. Get the ball in Ed Reed's hands. Go, go, go, go. Are you pro? I mean, you're pro laterally on offense. You got to be pro laterally on defense after an interception. Everybody. Yeah. I'm in on laterals. Laterals are so like, do you see that hook and ladder that uh, lions or? Yeah, it was lions. Lions, right? Yeah. Love it. Love a good hook and ladder. For a touchdown, good hook and lateral. Man, when teams used to break that out in
Starting point is 00:19:44 high school, it's so fucking electric. What is a hook and ladder. Man, when teams used to break that out in high school. Oh, it's so fucking electric. Is a hook and ladder best for zoner man? I'm going to say man. Man? Mm-hmm. That makes sense. Yeah. Who knows? It might be good for, it's good against all.
Starting point is 00:19:57 I feel like you want the hook, you got to have enough space there. So it's got to be like enough soft coverage that he can catch it and lateral it. But what I know? I don't I have no idea. Yeah tomorrow is playing his ass off right now. He's not just it wasn't just the pick here He's making plays left and right and really our entire defenses lights out I mean outside of maybe what like the first driver the first quarter they I mean they were just They were lights out man, and I just I I can't say enough about what Spags is doing with these guys. He's just putting him in such a position to have success and just to have fun and play free and and fly around. I mean, it's a it's a nod to everybody on that defense to like own up to like
Starting point is 00:20:37 their their piece of the puzzle. You know, you got guys like Mike Pannell, who is just just driving offensive lineman into the backfield. Leo Chanel just driving guys off the ball and just making sure that they play their gap so hard that the running back and the linebackers just have these lanes to shoot and no more prevalent than this huge fourth down huge fourth down when Nick Bolton came flying through a gap untouched to get Bijon Robinson right here. And that really secured the win for us. I mean, it's just, it's awesome when you see the defensive side just making these huge plays, man, because it really does make you feel unstoppable when you're
Starting point is 00:21:21 putting up points, man. I will say, I don't know what the hell the lead blocker was doing on this. Yeah, he didn't have his eyes. But that's the thing. Sometimes he's expecting like the guy to go underneath. I don't know. Sometimes those design like those game plan runs, you just don't get enough looks at them. So you get an awkward look. And if if it's not practiced, you got to have guys that can just, you can just wing it. And unfortunately, it didn't look like he had his eyes
Starting point is 00:21:49 on the right guy, or who knows, maybe somebody else screwed it up and he had his eyes on the wrong guy. You never know how that thing was supposed to play out. I just know that it looked like the chief's defensive line got a real good push. And it looked like we capped the defense right here and didn't let him get outside the numbers
Starting point is 00:22:06 on a sweet play like that. So Bolton, man, he's playing huge for us. Everybody, he kind of went down there for a quick second, got himself back in the football game and made the biggest play for us, man. Just love of a fuck. He's a heck of a player, man. Just a ball player, man.
Starting point is 00:22:20 Just a ball player. He just wants to fucking win, man. I love that dude. Wants to win, communicates everything, gets guys lined up. He's really the quarterback out there, especially for the guys in the box. It's fun watching him play.
Starting point is 00:22:32 Next week, you guys got the Chargers in LA. If he's correct, yes. How will it be different preparing for this team with new head coach, well, new head coach, older head coach, Jim Harbaugh? Yeah. The Chargers are coming off a loss to the Steelers, but are two and one. The Chiefs have beat the Chargers Well, new head coach, older head coach, Jim Harbaugh. The Chargers are coming off a loss to the Steelers, but our two in one. The Chiefs have beat the Chargers the last five times.
Starting point is 00:22:50 You guys have played them. Don't mean a damn thing. Yeah, that is in the past. Every time you get new season, new head coach, especially a motivator like Harbaugh, I mean, these guys are going to fucking play hard and they've been playing their ass off really the entire season. I know they lost to the Steelers, but they were flying around and not making it easy on them. Marshall Slauson It sounds like they're going to be missing, I think Bosa, is Bosa going to play? I know he got hurt in the last game.
Starting point is 00:23:17 Darrell Bock I have no idea who's up and who's down right now. Marshall Slauson I know Derwin James just got suspended, which... Darrell Bock I do know that. Yeah, that's unfortunate, man. Marshall Slauson You always love going up against Derwin. Darrell Bock He's just, he's the best, that's unfortunate, man. You always love going up against Durwin. He's just, he's the best, man. He's the best and I love going up against the best. Yeah. He should be out there. Other than that, I think whether or not Herbert plays, all that's out of our control. Our control is we still have to get better offensively. Our defense is playing lights out. I think Coach Reed's message in the building today is that we just keep finding the answers.
Starting point is 00:23:49 No doubt. We just keep climbing the ladder on getting better. Let's go out there and play our best football for four quarters. That's all we're really focused on right now. Well, let's focus on a LeBron stat for this last game. With the win over the Falcons, Pat secured his 77th career win, surpassing Tom Brady and Roger Staubach for the most quarterback victories in their first 100 starts. And second LeBron stat, Andy Reid now has more career wins with the Kansas City Chiefs than with the Philadelphia Eagles.
Starting point is 00:24:19 Yeah, baby. He's got 131 with the Chiefs and 130 with the... He has won 261 games? Just as a head coach, not even going back to Green Bay. Nope. That's a heck of a ball coach right there, man. That's a ball coach right there, baby. Shout out to the big red.
Starting point is 00:24:37 Heck yeah. Before we get out of the Chiefs section, we have some housekeeping we need to address. First, Chris Jones wants his half sack back. During a press conference last week, Chris Stone Cold Jones let the football world know that he's not happy about his half a sack against the Bengals being taken away and given to teammate George Karloftis. Chris Jones was quoted saying, I'm trying my best not to get fined, but in my nine years of playing three days later when my hand was clearly on him, I don't know who viewed it. Play 29. Okay. Calls it out by name. Okay.
Starting point is 00:25:09 Play 29. Who's counting. I can just hear this in Chris's voice. You know, I'm trying my best not to get fined. We both touched him at the same time. So is he arguing that he should have got a half sack and he got he didn't get credited with anything. No, he got the half sack in the game and then on top of it. And then a couple days later they reviewed it and they gave the full sack to George.
Starting point is 00:25:36 So he got his half sack taken away. But then once he he kind of let it go, he said George agreed to treat me for dinner. So I'm good now. I mean, he did. He did help assist the tackle. Right. But George kind of had him. You know, he had Joe wrapped up around the leg. I have no idea. I don't even know what this looks like. I saw it.
Starting point is 00:25:58 All right. You saw it. George has them on the ankle. I think he's probably going to get the sack. But I mean, there's no question. Chris, like shoves them down. I don't know how they count these things. I really don't. I just know that there's a race to touch a quarterback whenever he's going down. Yeah. That's all I know. That's what it really is. Who can get closest to him? Yeah. He said, uh, George agreed to treat me to dinner. I'm good now. Something tells me he's
Starting point is 00:26:20 still kind of upset about it, but that's fine. Can we do anything about this? Can we call the commissioner? I mean, you probably can. Justice for Chris. Yeah. Make a big stink about it. I'm not getting involved in this. Lastly, Creed Humphrey has a great bit going on.
Starting point is 00:26:33 I've been noticing this too. This is awesome. Love. He's killing it right now. Love the pregame fits. He started it. We keep winning. He has to keep doing it. He's gotta keep doing it.
Starting point is 00:26:41 He's gotta keep doing it. I'm pretty sure he was gonna keep doing it regardless, but I think the 3-0 start is very, it's getting a lot of juju, a lot of good juju from Creed in his pregame fits. Well, it's been three weeks since Creed started his t-shirt bit, so we got to show them all right now. It started with just the first game, then they won, so then he decided to do the old duct tape maneuver and bangles over it.
Starting point is 00:27:04 Here's that one. Yeah, they won again, so he's staying true to it. He ain't new to this, he true to this. There's something about duct tape that is just like, it's a great item. It fixes everything, man. It fixes everything. Yeah, I mean, it's a heck of an invention. And to use it in this way.
Starting point is 00:27:21 I still remember you fucking putting duct tape on your cut. What an idiot, man. No, it works. It works. Dude, no way. That hurt. I know that hurt like a mother when you ripped it off. All right. But either way, I love how the first two home games, home games a little bit more lax, you know what I mean? You're at the house, but then when you go on an away trip, business attire, still wore the T-shirt underneath a nice blazer. He was ready to rock and roll. The real question is, do we think Creed's washing this shirt each week? I don't know. I'll have to ask.
Starting point is 00:27:55 Somebody's going to have to ask him. I mean, it still looks fresh. It's real nice. Oh, I can't wait to see what it looks like this week. Something tells me it's going to be the same. what it looks like this week. Something tells me it's going to be the same. It's time to talk about our next sponsor, Buffalo Wild Wings.

Jason's Monday night in Bristol. Hey, so Connecticut ESPN headquarters, I believe
Starting point is 00:31:31 you were back doing Monday night countdown on ESPN in Bristol this week. How did you like doing the show from the studio versus the at the stadium? It's cool. It's it's definitely more fun at the stadium with the environment, the players, the fans. I would assume. But whenever I get to be the stadium with the environment, the players, the fans. Yeah, I would assume. But hey, whenever I get to be up there with Scott Van Pelt, Brian and Swagu, it's a fun evening, to say the least. Yeah. ESPN didn't want to see you go fucking ape shit in Buffalo, did they? They didn't
Starting point is 00:31:59 want to see you just rip your shirt off and- I was watching tweets and tailgates and just like, oh my gosh. Mafia. Mafia is just calling Jason, come out and play. They're not letting me. I got to stay in the house tonight. I got to do my homework. Yeah. That'd have been a lot of fun up there in Buffalo, but it wasn't the case. Two games. Two games is different.
Starting point is 00:32:27 You got to prepare a lot more. I love learning from these guys, man. Swag and Ryan and Scott have been doing it for a long time. They're awesome, man. Man, they're just impressive. It's very, very impressive what they're doing. It's my favorite show in sports. The biggest takeaway from 92 Percenters was definitely your dad sneakers.
Starting point is 00:32:45 That's right. You're up there. This picture is fucking electric right here. Whoever screenshotted this. What's so electric about it? Double hand on the hips. I'm listening. That's a listening? That's my listening. You're open. You are. You're engaged.
Starting point is 00:32:58 With hands on the hips, I'm open. You're engaged. Yep. You're engaged. But attention. Here, I don't know if you're listening or not. Here, you're not- Disinterested. Yeah, you are. I'm not listening to what's happening right now. Here, it's like, okay, yes, sir. Yep, no, I got what you're saying. Okay, let's talk about it. Boom. Nice. That's good body language. But yeah, nice kicks, man. The old dad balances.
Starting point is 00:33:23 Yeah, dad balances. There you go. The Ed Kelceys. You can fix the second floor bathroom in those things. You could spread some mulch in those things. You can ask your kids to cut the grass in those things. What else can you do in those things? I mean, you can do anything you want in those things. You can be a little league. Yeah, you can be a little league baseball coach. You can go on Monday night countdown with those things. I mean, you can do whatever you want. Man, the Ed Kelceys got it figured out, man.
Starting point is 00:33:47 Did any part of you consider wearing flip-flops? No. Is that frowned upon in the ESPN studio? ESPN's kind of give me a lot of leeway. They're pretty much saying you can wear whatever you want, Jason. Just make it make sense. I think we were doing like a little bit there where I needed to be a little bit agile. So I felt like the shoes were necessary.
Starting point is 00:34:07 I like the flip flops. I just don't like flip flops when I'm actually moving around and doing a bunch of stuff. Like then I do prefer shoes. If I'm just kind of like going about my day and I'm not going to need shoes, I'll go flip flops. And that's the majority of my days because I'm retired and bored and lonely. But the shoes work very well for, it just feels like you're working a little bit. Yeah. I got you.
Starting point is 00:34:31 I'm locked in. Ankles are ready. Yeah. I get you, man. Get that ankle support. Watch out. You know I need it. Oh, yeah. All you need is... I get them ligament sprains, but my ankle collapses. You get Jason Pelsey some ankle support. I need the ankle support. I need the base, especially if I'm gonna be passing Swagu over there.
Starting point is 00:34:49 Some new ankles. There's double breasted burgundy. Crimson? What is that? That's Crimson. Listen, that's why it's Swagu, baby. 92%ers immediately compared Jason's dad shoes to, oh, my game day sneakers. That's funny. What cost more? I think we both know the answer to this. I had some rare sneaks. Yeah, I had some rare sneakers on, man. Which ones are these? The Jordan 3s. Yes, they're the legends of summer. These are Justin Timberlake's right here, man. Nice. Is that just paint or is that why is it so, it looks like it's got like an interesting
Starting point is 00:35:23 texture. No, they're just different fabrics and different textures. Yeah, it is a different texture? Yeah, 100%. Is it velvet? Um, that's a great question. I'm not sure what the actual texture is. Was it velour? I'm not good with textures. I just know that it has a bunch of different.
Starting point is 00:35:41 I do love textures, you're right. I like different textures and that's why I love these shoes. That and I know Justin Turbolake. That's my dog. Yeah, dude. The sneaks, Jordan 3s, retro 3s. My dog Harry Clark, HC the Great, as you know. Heights legend. Cleveland Heights finest. He's got a fun thing going on right now.
Starting point is 00:35:58 We're wearing retros for every game. So this week will be retro 4s. So be on the lookout, man. I don't know which ones I want to wear yet. I'm going to go ahead and see what exclusives I can find in either my closet or online real quick and then throw a fit together for it. But join along Chief's Kingdom if you want to join us. We're rocking fours this week.
Starting point is 00:36:18 Marshall. Make sure Harry gets me some shoes in for in a couple weeks when I'm up there. Darrell. Nice. Nice. I think it's week five. Don't leave me out. Don't leave me out. Make sure he gets you some five, some raging bull fives or something, some sweet. So you're just going to keep stepping the numbers up? Yeah. How high do the Jordans go? What number is it?
Starting point is 00:36:33 They're still going. What number are we at now? I think like 30 something. I don't know. 86 was the first year, so you do the math. So every year, it's a new model. New Jordan. They don't ever do two models in a year. It's always one year, one Jordan per year. One Jordan with the number on it, like the Jordan 22s, the Jordan 25.
Starting point is 00:36:52 And within the Jordan 22s, there's different ones that happened within that year, but those are all Jordan 22s. Yeah, I think those are called Team Jordans. But they come out with a whole bunch of different types of shoes now. So I don't know how it's all done. I just know I'm a fan of the retros more than anything and it's been fun rocking them for the first three weeks. Is the pants being shorter than the shoes?
Starting point is 00:37:13 Is that- Yeah, flooding. That's in now? Yeah, that's the style of suit, yeah. Floodings in? Yep, floodings in. I'll be on my suit and tie. Who determines what's in and what's not in?
Starting point is 00:37:26 How ever you want to rock your shit, dude. I really don't care what's in, what's not in. I just go out there and I have fun wearing some shit that I think looks cool. I wanted to flood because I thought I had some cool shoes on. I mean, it looks great. I'm not knocking the look. I just, like, it feels like designers, like they kind of like gravitate towards like specific themes a lot of the time.
Starting point is 00:37:47 This, whatever you want your bad line to be. Either way, it looks good. I do know that. Yeah. Man, I wish I played as good as I felt. All right, well that does it for- Bristol, Connecticut. Storylines, yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:03 That does it. The highlight of the evening was Scott Van Pelt bringing donuts. Got some donut holes. Nice. SVP bringing some donuts in. It was like, it was an orchard donut holes, apple cider. Dude, did you feel like- Classic out here on the East Coast.
Starting point is 00:38:17 Did you feel all those cool ass ESPN commercials when we were kids? Did you feel like you were in one of those commercials? Like did you see mascots running around? Did you see other famous athletes? It's definitely cooler in the commercial. I saw a couple personalities. Nice. ESPN personalities, but that's about it. Yeah. I just pretty much did the show, watched football, I tried to give my perspective on football I was watching and hung out with a bunch of dudes. Love that for you.
Starting point is 00:38:54 Nice. All right. Well, moving on to week three storylines. Let's move on and talk about some of the biggest storylines coming out of week three in the NFL, starting with the Eagles game for all our Philly 92 percenters tuning in. Oh, Eagles 15 Saints 12, a nail biter as well and a bit of controversy at the end. Jason, initial thoughts?
Starting point is 00:39:18 Well, at one point we had 300 yards of offense and zero points. Damn. Which was crazy. Yeah. I mean, listen, the defense showed up and played fantastic. It's actually awesome to watch. They came out. There's a lot more five down looks, which they've been better in all year. The Saints were the number one offense coming into the week. The defense, I mean, they played fantastic. Jalen Carter was a menace. Jordan Davis got a sack. Zach Bond was playing in the box. He's playing on the line of scrimmage.
Starting point is 00:39:51 They were, I mean, it was just such an awesome bounce back game for those guys. And you know, Vic had them coming. It was an impressive game by the defense. Offensively, it was an impressive game. They just, again, turnovers, you know, had some failed fourth down conversions, block punt. I mean, when you really think about it, between all that stuff, it's kind of remarkable that we did end up winning the game. I don't know. It's impressive, man.
Starting point is 00:40:12 They had almost 500 yards of offense or did. So, I guess on the bright side, they stopped turning the ball over and they start playing, you know, less, more disciplined and less mistakes, critical mistakes, they're gonna, I mean, the game shouldn't have been close. And this is a team that had blown out the first two opponents by double digits. So I think it's a lot of looking at it with the positive, but it's also like, hey, we got to get this fixed, guys. Let's pick up where we left off last week with the Eagles fans being mad about fourth down calls. At least that's what the rave was online. The Eagles were down three nothing
Starting point is 00:40:54 and it was fourth and one with 14 seconds left in the first half. Birds fake the took the tush push. A little fake tush push. The birds fake the tush push and handed out to Seh Kuan who gets stopped short, unfortunately. Yeah. It's tough, man. That's the game you play when you're going for it on fourth. It is. It is. We just played the Falcons. They went for it twice on fourth down late in the game and didn't get it. I know. And I think they were both fourth and manageable, right? Or at least, yeah, the last
Starting point is 00:41:25 one was. The last one for sure. I think this one was hard because there's only 14 seconds left. And you just wonder, like, even if you get it, you get like maybe one trigger situation from like the 10 or something like that, like where you have to throw it in the end zone. Is it worth the risk in that situation? The reason the fourth down decisions are being criticized, because they haven't been working. That's the end of the day. They did work in 2022, and they helped us get to a Super Bowl. And Nick Sirianni, like he has seen firsthand, how much going forward on fourth down can help and improve your chances at winning a game. Obviously, when it's not working, it does the opposite. And these are the unfortunate circumstances you live by as a head coach making these decisions.
Starting point is 00:42:07 It's hard. I thought Ryan Clark said it really good yesterday when I was with him too. I like being the aggressor. I just do. I like kind of having the ball in my hands. I will say it feels right now that the points league wide are down.
Starting point is 00:42:22 Offensives are scoring less points. It feels like points are at a premium. So, I don't know how that changes these analytical metrics on like a per season basis, right? We're only three weeks in, but across the league, people aren't putting up as many points. All of these games have been pretty low scoring. Maybe take some points and maybe that changes what these metrics are. But even the fourth and one with the fake little kind of QB sneak, people like that was against the analytics. The analytics was like 51.3% to 49%. Like you ain't finding better odds than that on a roulette table putting it on on red.
Starting point is 00:42:58 Like it's still like, yeah, yeah, you know, you know about the mods on the roulette table. So like the reality is, well, this one I get this one, I think with. Yeah. You know, you know about the mods on the roulette table. So like the reality is, well, this one I get this one, I think with the way the time was, I think that they probably should have just and also they got the ball coming out of half. So like, when you compound the fact that we get it coming out of half, let's just let's take the points. Let's get some momentum. I mean, easier said from where I'm at now that it didn't work. Because I know what's going in Nick's head. What I think is, I haven't talked to him. We ran that fake quarterback sneak handoff against Washington last year, I think it was.
Starting point is 00:43:34 I think it was Washington. And it ended up being an explosive, right? Because they sell out to try and stop the QB sneak. It didn't work. And I'm thinking in the back of my head, it's like, maybe we're not just converting here. Maybe he thinks that we'll sneak a touchdown out. We still have a timeout. We should at least get the first down. But with where the game was at, at that point, it's three, nothing. You know, it's low scoring, take the points. It's even game. You get the ball coming out of halftime, but I say, go for it. I love it. Gosh. See, this is why you're better than me. This is why you're better than me. This is why you're a better man. I say go for it. I love it. Gosh, see this is why you're better than me.
Starting point is 00:44:05 This is why you're better than me. This is why you're a better man. You say screw it, I'll put my nuts on the line. Gosh. I love it, I want fucking Tuddy's man. I don't wanna fucking settle for three and then get the ball. Andy's been kicking a lot of field goals.
Starting point is 00:44:16 Andy's been kicking a lot. Well I'm not mad at that either. No, I'll take fucking points. This is why Travis doesn't call plays. It is what it is. I trust Andy with everything because he does all the work in terms to make those kind of decisions. Right? And Coach Sirianni was in quotes saying, I called to play, Kellen did not. So he owned up to it and made sure that, hey, listen, this is just how I coach. This is my style of football, and it's won us a lot of games. And unfortunately, it ended that 15 play drive, 78 yards,
Starting point is 00:44:52 ended in nothing before half. But at the same time, it's like, I just love the mentality of going forward on fourth. I just do. And you guys have the horses and everybody involved that can get the job fucking done It is what it is. I like giving the ball to Saquon Barkley on fourth and one I just like I like it sounds really good in my head. Yes, if it's fourth or one
Starting point is 00:45:14 We're not giving it we're usually to push pushing it. This was a outlier. Whatever it is I you know to push nice I like giving Saquon Barkley the ball anytime in the game, let alone when we need one yard. They should have gotten them evolved way earlier. And that's one of the downsides of the RPOs. But bottom line, Nick has had a lot of success in this league being risky. The last two years, I think there's been a number of instances that have stuck out. But ultimately, it's one of those things, you live by the sword, die by the
Starting point is 00:45:45 sword. I love the confidence. I love how I've seen it work in our favor. And I just think, you know, I know Nick and I know how much time he puts into this. And I just think that by and large, he is making better decisions than most coaches. I really believe that. I watch other guys late in game. You know about game management, clock management? I just, I think Nick is still one of the better coaches in the league at that. And I know the decisions haven't gone right. I know this one, like it didn't work out.
Starting point is 00:46:19 The one coming out of half didn't work out. Still found a way to win the football game, baby. I still got faith. I'm still riding with Nick. I really, I mean, you know that. I know you, the team guy like that. Is there anything more frustrating than a 15 play fucking drive that ends in nothing though? It is just, it's like a kick in the balls. It's just, it's just straight to the balls. Like goddamn.
Starting point is 00:46:40 Saquon Barkley and Dallas Goddard saved the day. The Eagles had 284 yards of offense by the end of the third quarter and zero points, but everything changed in the fourth quarter. Saquon ended the game with 147 yards of his own and two tutties, and the Eagles were once again glad they called that guy. Dave, you want to come over to the Philadelphia Eagles? We really think we could use you. He had all of it in the second half. They got to get him involved earlier. They have to. This is one of the problems.
Starting point is 00:47:13 Or they just have to eventually get him involved and you guys are good. It's compliant. If he's going to be that good in the second half, maybe we should hold him to the second half. I didn't think about it that way. Just the water zone. Now, I think that's one of the downsides of the RPOs. I feel like there's a lot of times you can think you're calling these run plays, but based on the way the reads happen, it just doesn't end up manifesting as opposed to like just like the call in a run.
Starting point is 00:47:39 I'd like to see them get Saquon like dedicated touches earlier to make sure that he's getting opportunities. Dude, sometimes those run past options keeps backers and safeties out of the box though, man. It is what it is. They do. And maybe that did make it like, listen, the RPOs didn't work in the first half. They were really bad. But who knows how that affected them in the second half. Maybe they're still thinking about the RPO. Maybe they're still more hesitant to come downhill because we do that. The RPOs have been successful in the past for us.
Starting point is 00:48:10 I think early on, we gotta get Saquon the ball a bit more. I do believe that. He did reach a top speed of 21.66 miles per hour on a 65 yard run. For anybody that had any questions about, yeah. He is moving 65 yards to the house. It didn't look like anybody could catch him on that one. He was a
Starting point is 00:48:27 second fastest play by a ball carrier this season, man. I wonder the first one is, and you brought it up Dallas Dallas had a fucking has had a fantastic game with AJ going down and Smitty going down late. It's like, dude, come on, Bubba. We need you 10 receptions, 170 yards. Well, you had a big play in the first half before Smitty went down. What do you call it when you're going for a sail and then you do a throwback? What's that called?
Starting point is 00:48:54 Like on a boot play? You know how you got a boot, how you would go over and sail back out, but you act like you're doing that, but convert it and you do a throwback? You know what I mean? It's like a fake sail. Sounds like a fake sail throwback. You know what I mean? It's like a fake sale. Sounds like a fake sale throwback. Call it whatever the fuck you want to call it. He got wide ass open on it though.
Starting point is 00:49:13 I know exactly what you're talking about. He had a bunch of big time catches like you were saying. He had the ridiculous 30 yard one handed catch in the fourth. That was, I mean, I love seeing that guy have success every single year at tight end. you or whenever I see him out in Philly, man, it's just, he's just, he's such a good dude and he works his ass off and he's, he's a very like, he gets put in some tough, when I say tough positions, like one-on-one with the corner, one-on-one with the DB, one-on-one in the run game with a defensive lineman, you know, one of the bet, like the pass pro, whatever it is, he's all around.
Starting point is 00:49:47 He does everything you need. And the ultimate utility guy for that offense, man, he just, I don't think he gets enough credit for what he's been for the Eagles, man. Couldn't agree more. He's been very underappreciated. I think on the national scale, I think Philadelphians realize it, but I know the Eagles do. Yeah. And then obviously the game clinching reception with 1-16 left to play, we're down 12-7. Jalen connects with Dallas on a 61-yard scamper that the Eagles get down to the four-yard line. It was obviously a little bit of kind of like that on the defensive side running into each other. Sometimes you need that though. Catchy jingle man.
Starting point is 00:50:35 Sometimes you need that though. And this ended up being an awesome play for the Eagles and they connected and end up winning the game off of it. She Garner Johnson, y'all favorite DBs couldn't chase a tight end down. What you trying to say, CJ? I think he's trying to say their DBs are slow. Or is he trying to say- You're trying to say the tight ends are slow? The tight ends are slow, that's what he's saying. Do you think you can outrun CJ? No. They're resounding. I could get just enough separation for just enough time to catch the ball though.
Starting point is 00:51:05 They found a way to get it done. But the highlight of the night was the defense. It was a defensive battle. Yeah. It's a huge bounce back game for those guys. Yeah. It was a low scoring game and the defense was put in a lot of positions where they had to bow up and boy did they.
Starting point is 00:51:20 Yes they did. Saints have put up a combined 91 points total the first two weeks. And the Eagles are coming off of just a bad performance against the Falcons where they ran outside zone to the two man surface at will. Well, what was the score? The score wasn't high because they did a good job in the red zone, which that's what it matters about. That's a good defense.
Starting point is 00:51:41 They also gave up a big two minute drive to lose. I mean, it was a bad performance by the day. It's one of those where you turn on the tape and you're like, man, we got to fix this run defense now. Yeah. But they did. They did. They bowed up.
Starting point is 00:51:54 Three yards per carry. Dude, it was against Alvin Kamara and this rushing attack that had been killing people. They just, I forget how many yards they put up against Dallas, but they torched Dallas on the ground. Six tackles for loss, a sack and interception. Ree Blankenship who has officially sealed the victory for the Eagles. There was a minute left on the clock, Eagles up 15-12, Derek Carr throws a deep pass and Blankenship just, you know, makes a fucking play.
Starting point is 00:52:22 Sometimes you just need a big play from your DBs, man. And sure enough, he showed up, baby. But it was Jalen Carter. Everybody saw it. He was the one that was just absolutely just wrecking the game on Sunday and played 51 of the 58 snaps. Guy's just a workhorse.
Starting point is 00:52:39 Three pressures, two hurries. One QB hit, two passes batted down, four stops. Whatever any of that means, he was out there fucking causing havoc. They could have blocked him. He earned the highest PFF grade of any D tackle this year. Oh nice, he's got a good agent. Nice. Well done, well done.
Starting point is 00:53:00 They could have blocked him. I mean, he was in the backfield all game long. It didn't matter whether it was the guard, the tackle. He was big down, block havoc in the backfield. He was talking trash. He was fired up. The energy was there. You could tell. He announced it that week. He had said, I played like trash. And then he goes out there and just, I mean, yeah, say, Hey, come on now, but the opposite of what I did, I played like trash and stuff.
Starting point is 00:53:21 Yeah. Say, hey, come on now, Bubba. It's the opposite of what I did. I played like trash and stuff. Stop. I've got to get it right. You know, I'm going to get it right. Don't worry. Then I go out there and just play like trash again.
Starting point is 00:53:36 Playing winning football. It's not trash, but it is, it could be better. Either way, I hear you though, man. You could tell at the end of the game, he was still fired up. Dude, we need him. We need this every week, Bubba. Unfortunately, even though you guys got to win a few a few injuries, Lane Johnson went down.
Starting point is 00:53:52 Unfortunately, in the first half, an offensive lineman, Fred Johnson came in for Lane after not having played a snap in three years and held it down against a pretty damn good. Not just friends. Defense of line. McCoy Beckton went down as well in the game and Tyler Steen had to go in early. I mean, Steen might have played the best out of every... I mean, they all... the offensive line, they all played fantastic. Steen and Fred got it done. And to be thrown in there in the middle of a game, that ain't easy.
Starting point is 00:54:22 It's big time, man. That is big time. Before in past years when Lane would go down, it would, it would cripple us. Like Lane is such a huge piece of our offense. And actually against the Saints, like we like Cam Jordan, I can remember specifically giving us issues when Lane Johnson went down. Big Fred, he has been quietly to the public, not known, but everybody watching him do his business in the NovaCare complex has known this guy's come a long way. That's awesome, man.
Starting point is 00:54:52 Tyler Steen, he's injured in OTAs, he gets injured in training camp, he can't get his ankle right. Maki Bekden plays well, he becomes a starter. What's he do? He just keeps working and the opportunity comes and he answers it. He played fantastic. He moved his feet well. He shot his hands well. He played with good leverage. It was both those guys, all the guys up front played fantastic. It was a masterful performance from the O-line. Couldn't be more proud of those guys.
Starting point is 00:55:19 Nice, man. Well, we know they got one of the best coaches in the game leading them. Stouty. Yeah, Stouty's got them boys rocking and well prepared whether or not they're starting or not. Unfortunately, you guys got hit with Devontae Smith taking that shot. Gosh. Did you see it? And it was a tough one, man. Of course I saw it.
Starting point is 00:55:39 Everyone in the world saw it, man. It's tough, man. Defensive guys kind of holding you up. You're fighting for extra yards. Sometimes you want to get down and you just can't get down as fast as you can. And I think it's just guys playing ball. I didn't think it was too dirty of a hit, but at the same time, and it was an aggressive shot. It's one of those shots where if you're a teammate, you're fucking pissed off. If you're out there, you're like, let's fucking go. And you saw the answer, the quote with CJ DJ after the game, man, that's the dirtiest shit I ever saw in football. Like you could tell
Starting point is 00:56:08 the team was rattled by it and it lit a fire under their ass, which I mean, they, it sucks when you see a guy, especially guys as good as Devante, like just a great dude, like just a dog. And to have that happen, it just, it's going to eat at you. And I think, you know, I don't look at it like that. When you're not on the field, like it did look like the guy was playing to the echo of the whistle. If anything, I think it's on the refs. You got to stop the play earlier. Progress was that. Yeah. Like, come on now, what are we doing?
Starting point is 00:56:39 Blow it dead. But depending on what I kind of get, because he pushed lay out of bounds, like towards the bench, like, come on, because he pushed Slay out of bounds like towards the bench like come on You know you're out of bounds, but at the end of the day. I kind of like when guys play to the echo of whistle and play Through it. That's what I'm telling my team to do. That's what I'm telling. Just be honest. Like I'm not I Don't like it if I'm the Eagles, but if I'm a coach I'm telling guys to play to the echo of the whistle not go at people's heads Don't take a shot. Yeah, I was trying to do by I don't think he was like, you're not trying to hurt people, but it's important in football to play.
Starting point is 00:57:09 Like what happens if he doesn't not like nine times out of 10, that's not going to be a concussion. Like he's going to hit Devante hard. And what happens if you force a fumble? That's how you play defense. You play until the play's over. Yeah. I, so, but all that being said,
Starting point is 00:57:25 if I'm out there, I'm fucking pissed. I hear you. Well, hopefully Devontae is doing good today. You hate to see him and Lane. I hope they're both, the head stuff is, yeah, it sucks. Next week, the Eagles have the Bucs in Tampa. The Bucs and Eagles are both two and one. Last time they played was of course in the playoffs
Starting point is 00:57:42 last season, Jason remembers, unfortunately. What do you the Eagles need to me? Sorry. Yeah. Asshole. Just like throwing daggers at you. Jason remembers it as his last. I deserve all the daggers I can get. Bucks and the Eagles are both two in one. Baker Mayfield over there has them playing pretty good. He is. They struggled a little bit this last week to Denver, but yeah. Last time they played was of course the playoffs last season. What did the Eagles need to do to keep this momentum? I think they got to try and keep limiting the turnovers. They got us. Their offense has been great this year.
Starting point is 00:58:17 It's it's like towards the top and like every metric there is. And unfortunately, it's towards the top and turnovers. And they got to capitalize on their opportunities and they got to play smarter in those situations. And it's the one thing right now holding this team back from being a great team, especially offensively, is that. Yeah. Turnovers will kill you, man. Yeah. Everybody knows I'm stating the obvious. The other thing that I'm interested to watch is are Devontae and AJ healthy this
Starting point is 00:58:45 week? Like, do we get AJ back? Does Devontae clear protocols? I don't know where those guys are at. We played the Bucs last year in that playoff game without AJ Brown. They played like a 6-1 front all game. Like they're basically playing goal line defense in the middle of field. That is hard to get a run game going against 6-1. You gotta have guys that can win. Like it just is. I'm just being honest. Like, bro, we gotta win some matchups if they're going with 6-1 boys. Let's go. Todd Bowles is gonna have some stuff lined up. Dude, he's Todd is and he's still doing it. I respect Todd Bowles so much for the coordinator and like he is the master at doing. He's never made my job easy. That sucks.
Starting point is 00:59:27 He has all of these things that he knows he likes. He has the corner cats. They'd like especially for teams that are underneath. He has the diamond, the bear front that he likes. He has the six one front that he likes. He has all of these catalog. He has the triple a blitz where he's going to bring both guys inside the a-gaps with the nose guard head up over the center
Starting point is 00:59:45 Shotgun he has all of these things in his arsenal and he's gonna find ways to do it in a different way But it's like oh, he's just really doing this That's you know what I mean? Like he knows the biggest thing is I feel like he knows how to he knows how to slow Offenses down. Yes week by week. So this week is going to be complete I want to say completely different but he, but he's gonna teach his defense to have a different mentality. It's gonna be what he did last week. He's gonna have a different mentality
Starting point is 01:00:10 against this Eagles offense. You know, and it's gonna be different depending on who's available. We know one guy is gonna have to try and contain and that's Saquon Barkley. It is, it is. He has over 400 yards of offense in three games which is pretty fucking good if you ask me. And he didn't get going until the second half last week
Starting point is 01:00:31 but once he got going he was flying at high speeds. And that leads us to our Lebron stat of the game against the Saints. And that is Saquon Barkley's five touchdowns are tied for most for an Eagles player in first three games of the season. The Sean McCoy last to do it in 2011. His three hundred and fifty one yards rushing our second most in first three games. And that's also McCoy, who had three hundred and ninety five in 2013. Nice shout out to Saquon for getting some crazy stats that really don't mean much. Other than he's playing really good football.
Starting point is 01:01:09 Yeah, he's balling and I'm excited to watch this game. Obviously the playoff game didn't go the Eagles ways. Both of these teams are a lot different. Both of them are probably better than they were at the end of last year. So it'll be fun to watch. That's for dang sure. This episode of New Heights is brought to you by United Airlines.

Starting point is 01:02:02 Oh, that's nice. Formerly the Sears Tower. Time out. It's not the Sears Tower anymore? Nope. Who's Willis? Is Willis a person or is that a company? The way it's spelled, I think Willis is a person. It looks like a person. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:04:20 Other news around the league. Week three round up. After three weeks there's five remaining undefeated teams. How about that? Yes, sir. Those teams are Steelers Vikings Seahawks Chiefs and the Bills Bills Friday the most oh my gosh Monday night. That was an impressive game by the Bills. They're rolling right now, man I love what Joe Brady's doing how much he's moving them around I talked about the I love when the teams are in shotgun and Andy does this a lot too with these like motions and moving the back like it's hard when you're living in shotgun in the back, it's too stagnant, makes it harder on everything. And they move James Cook all over the place. They're motioning people. They lost four or five receivers from last year.
Starting point is 01:04:59 They're spreading the ball around and somehow Josh Allen's playing better. Joe Brady has been very impressive. Other teams undefeated the Seahawks leading the NFC West by two games. Who would have thunk? 49ers 1 and 2, Rams 1 and 2. The Seahawks have, I mean, they just blew out a Dolphinstein that's obviously hurting without Tua. But needless to say, I don't think anybody through the first three games expected the Seahawks to be leading that division. The other one that's a little bit unexpected,
Starting point is 01:05:27 not on defense, the Steelers defense has been unbelievable. The last, I mean, ever since Tomlin's been there, they have been able to hang their head on that, especially when TJ Watts healthy. Big Cam Hayward's clogging up the middle. They're 3-0. They're still playing great defense. The difference is now they're having a quarterback in Justin Fields who's playing better than he's ever played. Is it Arthur Smith? Maybe it's just a new scenery man. Sometimes you just need to change the scenery man. Whatever it is. You can't say that it's not Russell Wilson.
Starting point is 01:05:53 You heard him give him the game ball last week when they beat Denver. Who knows how close that group is and how Russell's been able to influence Justin and how he's playing. It's probably a mixture of it all if I were to assume something. But yeah, he's playing lights out and he's making Steelers a fun team to watch, man. A lot of big plays. He's playing the way you should play. The defense is so good. You don't got to be a game manager, but don't do anything stupid. Don't go out there and lose the game. You can tell he's playing more poise. He's playing more controlled. It's been impressive for Justin Fields, especially this last week Sam Darnold
Starting point is 01:06:30 Yeah, what the heck is going on with the Vikings dude Sam is a fucking dog. I'm not I've been pretty high on Sam I know he had his woes in in Carolina and whatnot. I've been a huge fan of Sam Darnold's I think he's got great instincts. I think he's got a big arm. I think he's a smart player. And I always thought he was a gamer. I thought he was a gamer when he was at USC. You are not the first person who's told me this. I've heard this from coaches and other players around the league. There've been a lot of people that have always thought Sam Darnold was a good quarterback, just waiting for the right opportunity. And he's getting it this year with the Vikings. But the real story outside of what I mean, it's on both sides. Their offense has been
Starting point is 01:07:08 unbelievable. Kevin O'Connell and Sam Donald has been a match made in heaven. But defensively, I mean, Brian Flores, he's like putting quarterbacks in like the Twilight Zone. Like they just look like you see Brock Pretty go up to him after the game, like telling him he's crazy. You see CJ Stroud on the sideline like a deer in headlights. He is doing stuff right now on the back end and up front mixing in dime personnel. He's playing a lot of too high. He's blitzing a lot. He's blitzing with soft zone coverages where like you think you could take a shot. It's just
Starting point is 01:07:48 there. I really have a lot of really good DBS. They have guys that can do multiple things on defense. Their linebackers are fast as hell. They're very good in coverage. They can also hit the gaps. They got a lot of like just great players and they fit that scheme right now. If they stay healthy, they're going to be a problem, especially if Sammy Deacon keep slinging the thing around like that. I was happy. We played him early last year.
Starting point is 01:08:08 I felt like they were still finding the rhythm with Brian, but Ivan Page Jr. Dude, he was a rookie last year out of Cincinnati. Cincinnati's finest, baby. Like a little Bobcat. I was like, dude, what is this dude? I can't get my hands on him. Me neither. And when I do, he's like going, I'm like, what is happening right now?
Starting point is 01:08:21 It was the same thing. I had the same reaction when I was playing against him, man. I couldn't get my fucking hands inside of him, man. Fast dude, plays well, plays low. Yes. It's awkward to block him. I hate that. Good player, man.
Starting point is 01:08:33 Good job, Hodg. Playing lights out for, yeah, Flora's defense right now. Good job, everybody on the Vikings. Who's more impressive right now, the Vikings or what the Bills did? They might be the most impressive through three weeks, huh? What do you think? Neck and neck, yeah. I mean, when you watch them on film,
Starting point is 01:08:45 you're like, okay, this, yeah. They're humming. They're clicking. Early season, going well for them. They're playing well together. Sounds fun. And also, just as everybody expected, Andy Dalton is one of the best quarterbacks in the league.
Starting point is 01:08:57 I mean, Andy Dalton, I can't say enough good things about him. The guy won me a free car. I've known this for years. I think, what was it? 2017, 2018 Pro Bowl down in Orlando. Yes. I think we threw the ball like fucking 10 times and Andy Dalton threw it twice to me
Starting point is 01:09:15 for a whopping 30 yards and a touchdown. He threw a deep cross to me. And yeah, I walked away with the offensive MVP of that game. And when you win the offensive MVP, you win a free car. Still got that Hyundai Genesis actually. I thought you were giving that to Aunt Judy. You never gave that to Aunt Judy? No, she didn't want it.
Starting point is 01:09:34 Oh, okay. Shot at Aunt Judy. The hell of a game by Andy. I mean, what more do you want? 300 yards, three touchdowns. Only player in the NFL this season with 300 passing yards and three passing TDs in a single game. So he's doing something right over there. I think Coach Canales had the last laugh.
Starting point is 01:09:53 I think they faced a lot of people really trashing the Panthers, me included last week. I don't know that anybody's going to be successful there. They just don't have a lot of the pieces. They don't have a lot of the pieces. They don't have a lot of the thing, yada, yada, yada. Egg on my face. Andy Dog goes out there as 319 yards, three touchdowns. Turns out he was better to go out there and play as coach had stated.
Starting point is 01:10:20 Ian Rappaport reported, the Panthers are expected to start Bryce Young again this season with the benching of the number one pick viewed as a break or timeout more than anything. They believe he can still be the guy. I don't know that I believe that tweet. I mean, what do you want a guy to do? You want him to just start him if Andy Dalton isn't going for 300 yards and three Tuddy's every single game. Like what? That doesn't make any fucking sense. I get you want to keep the guys, you know, confidence and not give up on him completely.
Starting point is 01:10:53 But you can't state that you're going to start him again. Like, because if Andy Dalton keeps playing like this, why the fuck would you start up? That's why this doesn't read right to me. It's like you can't say like he's going to start again this season. That's a weird. That's a weird. That's a weird thing. Right. If I'm Andy Dillon, I'm like, time out. I just balled out.
Starting point is 01:11:10 What's what? And maybe it got reported. Maybe it got reported weird from Rappaport. I understand them saying, you know, we still believe in them. We're just giving them some space and time to get better potentially. Yeah. But this reads more because of the way it's worded. It reads more like, hey, we're going giving them some space and time to get better potentially. But this reads, because of the way it's worded, it reads more like, hey, we're going to preserve this guy's trade value because we don't want anybody else to think we've given up on him. That's what it sounds
Starting point is 01:11:33 like, right? Come on. You can't seriously say we're going to start him for sure again this season with Andy Dalton going out and doing that, unless they don't believe in Andy either. I believe in Andy. There were a couple of wild finishes in the late afternoon slate. Rams got their first win of the season with an incredible 27-24 comeback win against the 49ers. 21-7, midway through the third quarter. Darrell Bock Yeah. Jeff Snell I mean, Matthew Stafford, he can still sling it as good as anybody, man. Anybody? No.
Starting point is 01:12:07 My dog, the Marcus Robinson out there. Yeah. Oh, and baby D Rob. Fuck, I love D Rob. I miss that guy, man. This is a crazy game, too, with all the injuries that both of those teams have had. It was almost like the preseason week three game. Half of the roster was out there starting for both teams. Like all of the star players have been just like decimated. Not on the Niners defense.
Starting point is 01:12:30 That's true. Not as even still as the horse is moving. The Rams offensive line has hurt their skill positions are down. I mean, it's for them to persevere and come back 21 to seven. Pretty sure Sean McVeigh was pretty happy with that one. Ravens also narrowly escaped a crazy Cowboys comeback. We talked about this a little bit on the Monday night show. The Ravens, when they're playing well, they're so good. They let them back in with just again, penalties and kind of just being undisciplined. This
Starting point is 01:13:01 should not have been a close game. The difference is this time, they got the ball back with a four minute drill and Lamar Jackson called game. He just was like, yeah, I'm done messing around. Boom, bada-bang, bada-bam, game over, see ya. Derrick Henry finally got going, 151 yards, two touchdowns. Jerry Jones was asked why the Cowboys didn't pursue him. He said we couldn't afford him. That's a good reason not to pursue him. Jerry Jones is a good reason. Yeah, that makes sense. That's why probably a lot of people didn't pursue him.
Starting point is 01:13:29 But it worked out this last game. Cowboys got to figure out the run defense. It's the second week in a row they've been run on kind of at will by both teams. Either way, it was an impressive performance with Derrick Henry and Lamar Jackson. I think that's about it, Trev. Unless you got anything else to add. Yeah, that does it. No Dumb Questions. Let's wrap up this show as always with a little bit of No Dumb Questions. Who doesn't love a little No Dumb Questions? All right. First up on the No Dumb Questions from
Starting point is 01:13:56 EV23 on Club 92. In recent press conference leading up to the week two game, Matt Nagy said, Noah Gray is a U tight end and a Y tight end. What does that mean? Is Travis Kelsey the same? What do the letters mean? And he mentions two tight end stuff. Does that mean in the routes play? What's he talking about?
Starting point is 01:14:17 From Australia, new to the NFL, we'd say footy, I think it's what they call Australian football, and a swiftie. So you'll have to explain it like I'm five. Okay. All right. So you got it. Yeah. Tight ends.
Starting point is 01:14:32 Typically, in an offense like ours, we typically have one tight end out there and he is the why when we're installing plays. So every wide receiver has a letter or a certain call. Yeah, we have a zebra, we have a Z, we have a F, we have a X. The zebra and the U tight end are essentially the same player. We just swap out players. We swap out a wide receiver for a tight end.
Starting point is 01:14:59 So when there's two tight ends on the field, you have your wide tight end, which is your primary tight end. He's typically, he's the inline guy. He's the guy that is gonna have his hand in the ground when there's a two tight ends on the field, you have your wide tight end, which is your primary tight end. He's typically, he's the inline guy. He's the guy that is going to have his hand in the ground when there's a two tight end set. But when there's one tight end on the field, the wide tight end, you're just the tight end. Yeah. It's the only tight end on the field. You're the only tight end on the field. So you can have your hand in the ground. You could be up in it. And the thing about tight end is that it doesn't matter whether you're
Starting point is 01:15:22 the wide or the you, you're interchangeable. You can be anywhere on the field in this offense specifically. Correct me if I'm wrong, but sometimes even like play specific, if they want you to be a specific tight end, you might be the U or the Y or they always make the formation specific to the U and the Y. Because we'll do that, especially like red zone stuff where you're getting these crazy formations. Like, it's like, hey, this person's the Y on this one, he that especially like, like red zone stuff where you're getting these crazy formations. Like it's like, hey, this person's the Y on this one, he's the F on
Starting point is 01:15:48 this one, but you just kind of know where to line up. Yeah, I'm gonna try and explain it like, like, like, they're five. Good point. Jason. The wide tight end is the main tight end. And it and when I say main tight end, it's when they're calling the play it helps like organize the the formations and everything like that the strength of for the formations and just where guys line up It's not necessarily the one guy does something better than the other no great can block just as well as he can run routes
Starting point is 01:16:21 You know He can run block or pass block just as well as he can run routes against big guys or little guys. And it's the same with myself. It's the same with Jared Wiley. I think the fun about playing in this kind of offense in Kansas city is that the tight end gets to do everything. And that's all I think coach Nagy's saying right here is that
Starting point is 01:16:39 Noah Gray can do it all. That's exactly what he's saying. He can do it all. We have him line. We have Noah lined up at fullback tight end in split out in a wide receiver position. We have him doing everything because it's how hard the guy works and how good he is at playing football. And I think when Nagy's talking about he's the U tight end and the wide tight end, he's just talking about we can move them all over the place and still have success. I'm not
Starting point is 01:17:02 sure that my five year old can understand that. But yeah, I know that I'm going to not talk about it because I obviously can't explain to a five-year-old because I'm a dumbass from at bar 22 on Twitter. What is or are your guilty pleasures shows something you're slightly embarrassed to admit embarrassed to what am I embarrassed that I watch? I don't I'm not embarrassed that I watch anything. I don't care. You can't judge me. I like what I like. Yeah, it is what it is. What is there, what would I be embarrassed about?
Starting point is 01:17:30 I used to not tell everybody that I watched Gossip Girl growing up. You watched Gossip Girl? You should be embarrassed about that. Dude, it's so good though. Dude, if you watch it, you can get in deep. You can get in deep. Are you talking about Gilmore Girls?
Starting point is 01:17:43 What show is Gossip Girls? Gossip Girls. You can get in deep. Are you talking about Gilmore Girls? What show is Gossip Girls? Gossip Girls. Never heard of it. Gosh, my god, Chase Crawford, Blake Lively. Oh, okay. Nice. Shoot me, but I forget the rest of the names of the cast. Gossip Girls.
Starting point is 01:17:57 I mean, it's awesome. It's like a New York high school show with a lot of drama and basically everybody gossiping and talking shit on each other, which leads me to my new favorite show out right now and that's Traders. Have you seen Traders Jason? I checked it out because of the strong recognition. I was about to say we were talking about it yesterday. Yeah. I was watching with Mom and Uncle Don because they were in town last week after the Monday
Starting point is 01:18:18 night game. Oh nice. Yeah they came for the Eagles game. Which episode did you watch the season 2? We watched season 1. I haven't seen season two yet. I know. I didn't even watch season one. I just went straight to season two.
Starting point is 01:18:28 I'm excited after your recommendation. But season one, dude. So I've played that game. I actually played that game climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. So I'm familiar with it. It wasn't called Traders. We called it Mafia, but it's the same premise. Explain what Traders is.
Starting point is 01:18:42 Oh, so anyways, basically group of people, traders, mafia, whatever you want to call it. You start with a group of people. A certain amount are going to be declared bad guys of the group. Those bad guys are anonymous and it is the group's job to find out which people are the bad guys or the traders in this show. Yeah. And you do that by playing mind games, observing people's body language, accusing people, and slowly you kind of reveal information. It's about through people because people are some people are good at lying. Some people suck at lying. Yeah. Put them on the hot seat baby. Every time, every round and for this,
Starting point is 01:19:28 for traders, it's like every episode. It's going to start with the bad guys killing somebody or it's going to start with the good guys voting who they think the trader is. That person is going to be kicked off and they're going to say, hey, I'm either a good guy or a bad guy. So you know how many of the bad guys, well, I guess in this show you didn't, but usually you know how many bad guys are left. After that happens, the bad guys decide that they're going to off somebody, kill them. Yeah. And then that person doesn't show back up to the show. Every round, the traders are getting rid of somebody and every round the group is getting rid of somebody and it keeps
Starting point is 01:20:04 going and the group wins. If they find all the traders, the traders win if one of them is remaining at the end. It's a hell of a show. I absolutely love it. I've only seen season two. I heard season one is just as good. There's also a British version. See now I'm going to be caught up in that. Yeah. And that British version is just like kind of just like not familiar faces. Like the American version that everybody's like a familiar face in the American version I didn't know I'll be honest the American version season one was all like reality stars
Starting point is 01:20:32 I didn't know a single person other than Ryan Lockney. That was the only person I was familiar with on the show season two similar There's a there's a few others, but for the most part, it's reality TV game shows Yeah, Big Brother was a bunch of them apparently in season one. The Challengers, CT, my guy Johnny Bananas are in there. What? They're in the second season? Yeah. Oh, I can't wait to watch the second season. That's going to be way better.
Starting point is 01:20:54 But the woman that won season one, I can't remember her name again, not want to be in a relationship with her. She is playing circles with these people. Nice, right? Well, we just got from intern Brandon. He highly recommends the British version, which is actually Kylie and I's favorite show is a British show. Two British shows actually. I guess we just like British shows. Well, which ones? Great British make-off. Every time a new season comes out, we sit down and we watch that. I mean, it's fantastic. And Taskmaster,
Starting point is 01:21:22 that. I mean, it's fantastic. Yeah. And Taskmaster, highly recommend Taskmaster. It's on YouTube. It's also on the BBC, I think, but I don't have the, I don't know if I, I don't know how that works. So I just watch it on YouTube, but really good. On that one, they kind of give them a bunch of like stupid things to do. It works out for me because I'm, I got ADHD, but they give them a bunch of stupid activities to do and then a bunch of funny people just do stupid stuff. And then they make fun of each other and then they just have a good time.
Starting point is 01:21:47 Dude, you would fucking crush it on traders. Traders? I'm terrible. When I was on the mountain, I can't lie, you know that. I'm an awful liar. Yeah, but sometimes using that to your advantage. But I'm not savvy enough. I'm just letting you know, every time we were at the mountain,
Starting point is 01:22:02 we did it one time, climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, I was the voted, they right away, they knew. They're like, Jason's a trader. I was like, no, I'm just letting you know, every time we're at the mountain, we did it one time, climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, I was voted, they right away they knew they're like Jason's a traitor. I was like, No, I'm not. And they're like, No, I'm not as hilarious. But it is it is funny to see everyone have to defend themselves when the entire table is pointing at them saying they're a traitor. And to see how someone reacts under pressure. I fucking love it. And sometimes people just fucking fold.
Starting point is 01:22:29 I'm taking notes. There's some people that say some stuff where you're like, wow, that's a good one. And honestly, I just want to play the game. Like it's a show that I think I would have fun with. We're all going to KC for Thanksgiving because you guys play Friday night, right? For Amazon? Jason, yeah, I'm playing football. I'm not worried about playing traders. No, but after the game, we can play mafia.
Starting point is 01:22:50 If I win, I'm in. Jesus. Andy, can you please get this guy going so that I can fucking play mafia with Travis? I think, I do think I'd be better as a faithful, but I think that I could- Trav, you would be good in either one of them. I think I could- If you can be a lead actor in a FX original series- A lead actor is a fucking stretch. Get the fuck out of here.
Starting point is 01:23:19 Lead actor. DC is the lead. All right, all right. Yeah. A lead, not the lead, All right. All right. A lead, not the lead. A lead. Whatever. You're the bad guy.
