All right, we're getting all fired out. What time is Brady Quinn?
Starting point is 00:02:40 Is he going to be around the corner for us? Is he ready here? 11.30. Okay. I'm all fired up. I still can't get over if you're an NBA GM. You're taking Wembe who's had some. There have been some...
Starting point is 00:02:52 Come on. Well, no, I mean, but he's had some physical concerns over. Yokic. Yokic got 3% of the future of the NBA. Well, probably because he's, you know, a little older, and we don't know how he's going to age into his 30s with that body. I mean, that's like a contract Mahomes dad, bud. Dude, if you can shoot and pass, you're going to age well.
Starting point is 00:03:13 It's when you're hyper athletic. You don't age well. Yokic could play until he was 50. He's going to score points. He's going to get buckets. And look at his body. I don't think it's going to break down. He's like a refrigerator with a jumper.
Starting point is 00:03:28 A J-Mack with the news. That's good. No. Turn on the news. This is the herd line news. I don't know how to discuss this, Colin. There's some sort of Cold War brewing, perhaps, between your guys, Pete Carroll and Chip Kelly.
Starting point is 00:03:43 You may need to moderate. Yesterday, Pete Carroll was taking some shots at the offense. And Chip Kelly's now responding, Colin. Take a listen. I mean, that's what our gameplay is. Every game. When you get into the second half, that skews. But, you know, we had 25 attempts last week in the game.
Starting point is 00:03:58 There was real balance in the first half of the football game when it was a close game. think it gets out of hand. So when you look at some other numbers, I think we had 25 rushing attempts and 36 passing attempts at the end of the day. But in the first half, it was really even. These guys are friends. I don't like this kind of Pete Carroll,
Starting point is 00:04:18 not throwing him under the bus, but the comments, we need to run the football. Well, Pete's got to get his defense right. It wasn't good in Seattle at the end. He laughed. It got better immediately with the new guy. Antonio Pierce's defense, statistically, was better last year than this year. Pete's got to worry about his defense. That was the issue in Seattle.
Starting point is 00:04:37 My rule is always follow the coach's side of the ball. When Mike McDonald got the Seahawks job, that defense got better, fast. The offense with Gino, then they got Sam Darnold. Now the offense is good. So don't worry, the Raiders with Chip Kelly, they're going to run the ball this week against Tennessee. but the issue is that you should hold Tennessee to 13 points or less. They can't move the ball. Well, they also, you lose Colton Miller, the left tackle.
Starting point is 00:05:07 That's a big blow to the offense. That hurts Ashton Genties game. But I do want to ask, I was thinking about this. So Pete Carroll's struggling badly. He's in his 70s. Bill Belichick went to college struggling badly. Obviously for different reasons. Well, nobody's in their prime at 70.
Starting point is 00:05:23 I know. I'm not saying the game's passed them by. But I'm a little surprised at how bad the Raiders have been. I'm really surprised how bad UNC's been. Is there something to the agent, coach, maybe? Well, I think all of us are probably. I mean, I do think people are in their prime longer than they used to be. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:40 But I do think once you get into your mid-60s, it's more of a challenge. You can't drink at night. You got to get your sleep. Take your omega-3s and your NAD and your magnesium. I mean, I think you have to really watch yourself once six is the first number. You just got to, you know, you just got to watch. Your diet matters more. I don't think, I mean, we have presidents in the first number seven,
Starting point is 00:06:03 so I think football coaches are fun. Let's move on to Jack Prescott. You know, I think the MVP discussion is a little goofy this early in the season, but it's undeniable that DAC would be in that discussion with Baker Mayfield and Company. Anyways, here's what Dak's got to say about how much longer he has left in the tank. If I can get to 40 playing in the standard that I want, yeah, that'd be awesome. But to answer your question, yeah, it's definitely changed. I can see it more realistic now.
Starting point is 00:06:34 And I think as much as anything, just the fun and the piece that this game still gives me 10 years in is going to be hard. I don't think, I mean, you can't supplement it. So as long as I can do this at a level that I'm proud and happy with, I'll keep trying. Best he's ever played, and he's having to carry this team because I don't have a number one wide receiver. I think in the offensive lines missed starters. I think Dax's playing as well as he's ever played. best spoken quarterbacks in the league? He's just always been...
Starting point is 00:07:00 He's really smart. Well, he's always been smart. He's always been smart. His issue's always been. Does he throw a great ball? Not really. But, I mean, day one in the league... Kailor Murray throws a great ball.
Starting point is 00:07:12 His first year in the league, my takeaway was, that's the best quarterback at the podium, including Tom Brady I've ever heard. I've always thought Dax, EQ IQ. I mean, it's not... I mean, Dan Mullen was his college coach and acknowledged on our... our show. We didn't love
Starting point is 00:07:29 always the way he threw. We just loved the human. So, no, Dak's the definition of what leadership looks like. And that's with all the nonsense going on in that organization. The owner flicking off fans with the middle finger. That was brutal. It's just nonsense everywhere and he seems very cool and calm. Yes.
Starting point is 00:07:45 I don't know. Maybe I need to try that just to chill out a little bit. I like Dak Prescott. Final story, Colin. Boy, this Eagles offense last night was a struggle bus. And then they did this. In what felt like a middle finger, seriously, they ran the push push four times in a row. So bad. They basically said, screw up. We're doing this.
Starting point is 00:08:02 We'll see what you got to do. Micah Parsons weighed in online with a tweet. This is not football. And then you see some, let's just say, folks who follow the NFL with large social media accounts also saying, Trish push, four plays in a row. It's clear, Colin. A lot of people want this play out of the league.
Starting point is 00:08:20 It's very clear. I think it's going to lose the next vote. Siriani doesn't seem to care. Maybe he knows, hey, the window's closing. Screw it. A lot of it's momentum. You know, if somebody got hurt here. Somebody, yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:31 I mean, they were jumping off sides. I think one of the guards did. I'll say this. They're run blocking on the tourist push, great. But they're run blocking regularly? It's not. Sequin has no room to operate. He had one big first half run and one, I think, big third quarter run.
Starting point is 00:08:45 That's it. Otherwise, it's three yards on a cloud of dust. Yeah. The interior line has not been that great. Now, the past blocking's good. The run blocking just isn't there. J-Mack with the news. Well, that's the news.
Starting point is 00:08:57 And thanks for stopping by. The Herd Line. Be sure to catch live editions of The Herd weekdays in noon Eastern, 9 a.m. Pacific. He's Mike Harmon. I'm Dan Byrd. We have a fantasy football podcast called I Want Your Flex. That's right, Dan. Every week we're going to scour the waiver wire to find the pickups to turbo boost your fantasy lineup. Sit, starts.
Starting point is 00:09:19 Fantasy football players' rankings to get you ready to dominate the competition. Listen to I Want Your Flex with Mike Harmon and me, Dan Byer, on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, and wherever you be your podcasts. Hey, it's us, the Jonas Brothers, and guess what? We have some big news. What's the news, name? Huge news. We created our own podcast called, Hey Jonas.
Starting point is 00:09:39 We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to it. We're the first people to do podcasts. Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts throughout there. But this one's extra special. So how do we actually come up with a name, Hey Jonas, Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember.
Starting point is 00:09:54 I think it was on a call about what we should. call it and oh we were thinking i'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band before jonas brothers was this is how you guys remember it going down yes i have a very different memory of this we were talking about a thing a bit for the podcast for people could call in and say hey jonas and then i wrote down on my little notepad hey jonas and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast but thanks for remembering that guys listen to hey jonas on the iHeart radio app apple podcasts or you get your podcast. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it. What's up, fam? It's Isaiah Thomas. And I'm CJ Toledano, and our podcast, Point Game is about
Starting point is 00:10:34 defining the odds. Like LeBron heading into the playoffs without Luca and Austin Reed. And finding ways to win no matter what. He's the smartest player to ever play the game. His IQ is at a level that we've never seen before. And he knows. Without Luca and Austin Reeves, I got to manipulate the game. We get a player's perspective on the challenges of the playoffs. I think Joker's going to be exhausted this series because when they don't have Rudy in the lineup, he has to really guard guys like Nas Reid. He has to guard Julius Randall.
Starting point is 00:11:04 And then he has to give us everything he gives us on the night-to-night basis on offense. And when IT's friends stop by, like Quentin Richardson, we dive into some playoff history too. Steve Nass would get that thing. That man, hell get the flying. He run under court, licking his fingers while he got the ball, like,
Starting point is 00:11:20 after you go through a training camp with that Isaiah, you figure it out. real quick. Oh, yeah. Get your ass up and down the court, and you're going to get the ball. So listen to Point Game on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. This week on Crimless, we're joined by our first ever guest.
Starting point is 00:11:41 Sorry, our first ever human guest. I don't think I could be in the same room with Shamrock the pair. I'd be too nervous. That's right. The very funny, Will Farrell, joins Rory Scovel and me, Josh Dean, for an episode dedicated to the many crimes committed by people also named Will Farrell. They called to his fellow officer for the nippers. What are the nippers?
Starting point is 00:12:05 Very good question. No, I was thinking, would that be a good name for like a salad dressing? Simple assault? And it's a play on word, salt? Maybe not. I say we invest and we see. There's only one way to know. This did not amuse the cops. By the way, normally the cops are amused, but this did not abuse the cops.
Starting point is 00:12:23 Will even comes clean about some of his own crimes. I didn't get caught. You know why? If you don't want to be suspected of anything, you whistle as you walk. Listen to crime lists on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Agency, the ability to know that we're the experts in our own body. On the podcast, cultivating her space, Dr. Dom and Terry Lomax create a space where black women can show up fully and be heard. I wholeheartedly think, you know, you hit 30. You shouldn't have to share one with anybody. Mm-hmm. From navigating friendships and healing to setting boundaries and prioritizing your mental health.
Starting point is 00:13:05 These are real honest conversations. We don't always get to have out loud. Totally unreasonable with different parts of life, right? Like, oh, have all three meals and make sure you're mindful during all of them? Absolutely not. During one meal, I'm standing. I'm standing and handing my children food. Because healing, empowerment, and resilience aren't just ideas.
Starting point is 00:13:27 their practices. And this Mental Health Awareness Month, there's no better time to pour back into yourself. Listen to cultivating her space on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. They played in the NFL for seven years, a Heisman trophy finalist. He's one of the voices of college football at Fox.
Starting point is 00:13:47 It's great to have him on. Brady Quinn is joining us. He'll be at that Ohio State Illinois game where USC didn't exactly light the world up. So that was pretty disappointing. We'll get to USC Michigan in a bit. Listen, Ohio State, I've always felt Brady. It's the SEC program up north.
Starting point is 00:14:06 But that's when I felt the SEC was better than the Big Ten. I don't. I think Indiana is the equal of Ole Miss. I think, I mean, you live in the Midwest. I think times have changed. I was watching Dave Portnoy this morning on social, and he did all these matchups, and I didn't disagree with them. It does look different, Brady.
Starting point is 00:14:25 when I watch Big Ten games, five years ago it looked different. I think Ohio State's the best team in the country, and I'm not sure Oregon's not second. How's that land for you? That's about right. I mean, I think you've got to throw into Miami into the conversation right now. I don't know that doesn't play into the Big Ten SEC debate when it's all said and done, but the reality is the last two national champions were Big Ten teams. You go back and look at the teams that are playing for it, even the semifinals last year,
Starting point is 00:14:52 Penn State, Notre Dame that is not in the Obviously of the Big Ten, but still a Midwest team, you're seeing really a lot of these Big Ten teams, Midwest teams, have caught up. And it's important for Big Ten specifically because they're getting more money in for NIL. You know, they're just schools with a little bit more money to be able to pass around. And when you think about the transfer port, when you think about how you construct a roster, that plays a huge role. And so before NIL really became legalized for a lot of these players, I think the SEC was able to dominate. And now players are willing to go wherever they can to get an opportunity to play with a national championship but also, you know, maximize their market ability and maximize their ability to make as
Starting point is 00:15:29 much as they can. So they're willing to leave the warm confines of the south to be able to go up to the north and be able to take over on some of those teams to go win national championships. So again, I think we're seeing that passing of the torch right now. Still a lot of football left to be played. We'll see how it all plays out. But I don't think there's any doubt about it. Ohio State, Oregon look to be two of the best, if not the two best teams in the country. So when the West Coast teams joined the Big Ten, my take was Oregon and Washington already playing cruddy weather all the time. It won't matter.
Starting point is 00:16:00 The flights are three and four hours. They're not eight. You're not playing in Beijing. It's fine. But USC has been different, Brady. They haven't looked physical. They looked like a warm weather team. They got pushed around last week by Illinois.
Starting point is 00:16:14 And I said yesterday, this Michigan game, you got Notre Dame coming up. You're not beating Notre Dame there with that quarterback. back play and that coach, you're not beating Oregon and Outson. This is a defining moment that you have pivoted to Big Tenfold. I think it's that big of a game for USC. I don't think it's that big for Michigan. I mean, how is your feeling going into this game in L.A.? More curiosity than anything else.
Starting point is 00:16:38 I mean, very similar to Illinois, who you talked about a little bit ago, disappointed you when they knocked off your southern Cal Trojans, but they responded after a really tough loss to Indiana. I mean, you're watching that tape going, how can this be the same team? The way Brett Beulham was able to get Illinois to rally and respond to that, it's going to be very similar to Lincoln Riley. He's got to find a way to get his team to rally stay in this thing, realize that it's just one loss.
Starting point is 00:17:03 It doesn't define your season or you can't let it define your season. So their physicality will be challenged once again by Michigan because, yes, the passing attack has improved. Bryce Underwood probably had his best passing game this past week versus Wisconsin, but different challenge. And then past defense for Michigan is going to be challenged big time with Mackay Lemon, Jacobi Lane, all the playmakers that USC has on the outside, as talented quarterback as Jade Maiava is.
Starting point is 00:17:27 So we know that they can match up in that respect. The question is, if Michigan starts to play bully ball, very similar to the way Illinois was able to run against them, are they going to be able to get off the field? Are they going to be able to get stops? Because the Illinois USC game was not as close as the score predicted. There's two fumbles that were going into the end zone, one of which never should have been overturned or never should be called in the first place. He was already down.
Starting point is 00:17:49 So when you look at this matchup, it's really a challenge to USC to see how they can respond physically more than anything else. And it's going to speak volumes about where this program's at it. And the tough thing for them is they got to play Michigan. Then you go on the road to play Notre Dame, another physical team. They're going through a gauntlet this season of physical out. They've got to play Nebraska at some point too. All those matchups, it's going to be whether or not they can not only survive and then meet that physicality but sustain it throughout the rest of the season. So before I get to your Ohio State game,
Starting point is 00:18:21 Notre Dame plays NC State, then they play SC. So it's one of those weird games where your big rivals the following week. C.J. Carr. It's a trap game. Trap game is probably fair to say. Yeah, yeah. CJ Carr is playing out of his mind. Is he a freshman? I think he's a freshman, isn't he? Is C.J. shirt freshman. Yeah. It's about, I mean, the kid can play. So I look at Dante Moore and CJ Carr. And we came into the year with all these big name quarterbacks. And I'm like, no, those are the two best quarterbacks. Talk a little bit about CJ
Starting point is 00:18:52 and talk a little bit about Dante, because I don't think it's close. From what I've watched this season, those guys, that's Sunday football. I mean, it's way too early for CJ. But those guys look special. What do you see? Well, let me first say this. I'd throw Fernando
Starting point is 00:19:08 Mendoza at Indiana into that conversation, too. He's been phenomenal this year. And also Carson Beck, he's responded well so far. I would say those four are playing the best quarterback and Julian San as well as that's number five of anyone in the country right now. But specifically CJ, I mean, look, his grandfather was Lloyd Carr. We all know that as Pops played as well. You can just tell the way he plays the game. He's been brought up to be able to read defenses, understand what offensive coordinators are trying to execute on any given play.
Starting point is 00:19:36 He's able to manipulate the defense with his eyes. He does things that are just so far beyond where he's at in his playing career at Notre Dame. It gives you the sense that you feel like he's almost NFL ready because of how he plays the game. He's ridiculously accurate with the football at all three levels in the field. And he can move around. He can create. He can make something out of nothing. So this young man to me, and I've said this before, I said it when he signed,
Starting point is 00:19:59 I think he's going to be the greatest quarterback in Notre Dame history. Like that's how special he is when you watch him play the game. It feels like everything's playing so slow for him. And very similar to that, Dante Moore, who was a big Notre Dame recruiter, ended up going to UCLA, obviously found his way to Oregon. Same thing. I mean, these young men, Colin, they nowadays come in so prepared mechanically. There's no flaws in their throwing motion.
Starting point is 00:20:23 They're accurate as all get out. They understand what offensive coordinators are asking from them and do these different concepts, how they're trying to attack a defense. And you just saw on a big stage versus Penn State, how he handled in that clutch moment. So Dante Moore is draft eligible. He is the guy that if I was a team looking at this quarterback class, would have up there as one of my top quarterbacks that I'm evaluating, potentially taking number one overall. So big game for him this week, obviously, versus IU. He's got a lot more to display, I think,
Starting point is 00:20:51 but I think the world of Dante Moore, too. He's very poised. Another wise young man when you talk to him, he just feels ready for the moment. Nothing's ever too big for him. So you have Ohio State, Illinois. I got to give Ryan Day credit. When people beat up on Ryan Day, my take is, well, he's losing to Harbaugh's Wolverines and Georgia. Let's slow down. But I think it takes some security to go, I'm going to go to the NFL and get Chip Kelly. Now, they're friends, I know that. But then he does it again with Matt Patricia. And last year, the Buckeyes were kind of about their offense.
Starting point is 00:21:24 This year, they're kind of about their defense. And I got to tell you, when I watch that defense, how much of it, Brady, is the scheme, Patricia, because I think Chip Kelly, by the end of that year, they had good players. I mean, Abuka is obviously ridiculous. But when you watch Ohio State's defense, they shut Washington down. Is it the talent? Is it the players? Is it Matt Patricia? What does the film tell Brady Quinn? I think it's the combination of all of it.
Starting point is 00:21:52 I mean, I think, first off, where you give Ryan Day a lot of credit is the fact that he lost Jim Kelly. You know, he lost Jim Noles. And so you're finding new people to come into those spots. And for Matt Patricia to come down to the college level, there's a bit of a learning curve there, but also eight new starters on defense. So when you take that into account, this group is playing as good if not better than last year's defense. And that's really saying something for a lot of guys who are jumping into roles like Caden Curry who's starting this year is one of the best edge rushers in the country
Starting point is 00:22:19 right now. Orville Reese, Sunny Styles, these guys have really, you know, kind of popped on, burst on the scene as two of the best defenders at the lineback position you were going to see in all of college football. So it's part of obviously the players and the skill they have. It's part of the development. I also think it's part of the scheme because it's a very different scheme than what we saw, you know, last year from Jim Knowles, who typically had kind of come from more that 335 and Matt Patricia is so multiple with that NFL approach where you're getting a variety of fronts or variety of coverages, a variety of looks that you have to deal with. And throughout the course of the game, he's not allowing you to get a beat on things.
Starting point is 00:22:53 So defensively speaking, they have been absolutely lights out. And it's in part because that's how, and obviously their coaching staff, but also on the flip side, looking at their offense, it's because of how scary they are on that side. I mean, teams are so afraid to give this offense opportunities with the football. go back to the Washington game. We had seven drives in the entire game. You're averaging usually 12. So people are almost running formatted offenses to start games
Starting point is 00:23:19 just to keep Julian Sand and Jeremiah Smith and Cardinal Tate off of the field. Now, I know Ohio State doesn't run at a breakneck pace either on offense, but still, it goes to show you the respect that I think a lot of teams have and what they think of this team as a whole. But a lot of credit goes to Ryan Day and giving Brian Harlein that opportunity, who's done a tremendous job with the offense, bringing Julian Sand along. And really, you know, finding a freshman in Bo Jackson,
Starting point is 00:23:43 it's really emerged as probably their best running back at this point, too, for a team that I think it's going to be in the national championship hunt once again. You know, that's a lot of credit you're giving a young man to be able to take over at that specific position to be able to carry the rock for you. But that's how this Ohio State team has emerged this year after all the town that's gone on the NFL. Big Noon kickoff, 10 Eastern Ohio State in Champaign. I was there last week. The outcome was not my favorite outcome.
Starting point is 00:24:09 come of all time. A lot of us loved it, actually, Colin. A lot of us here in the Midwest were not surprised by it. I loved it. I bet. No tears. Great seeing you, man. You're just such a nice job.
Starting point is 00:24:21 Thanks, Brady. Thanks, Carl. Yeah, great stuff from him. Ohio State. You can just see on the highlights we show that that defense is. I mean, you know, it's different. In the NFL, I was telling the president of Indiana University was here today, a football fan.
Starting point is 00:24:41 And we were talking, and it's like, in the NFL, the worst team in the first, you still have great players. Like, it's a lot of it's just like, who's your quarterback.
Starting point is 00:24:50 But in college, there's a gap between, okay, that's Georgia and that's, you know, Georgia Tech or some, and Georgia Tech's fine. But when you watch Ohio State play
Starting point is 00:25:00 the last couple years, just turn the sound down. The offense last year, the defense this year, it doesn't look like 99.9% of, the rest of college football. That offense at the end of last year,
Starting point is 00:25:13 it was just the running backs, the wide receivers. And it was just like, oh, everybody was a Sunday player. That defense right now is stacked and fast. The Ohio State's defense is fast. Be sure to catch live editions of the herd weekdays in noon Eastern, 9 a.m. Pacific. Hey, it's us, the Jonas brothers. And guess what? We have some big news.
Starting point is 00:25:32 What's the news, new? Huge news. We created our own podcast called, Hey, Jonas. We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to it. We're the first people to do podcasts.
Starting point is 00:25:43 Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts throughout there. But this one's extra special. So how did we actually come up with a name, Hey Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call it. Oh, we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band. Before Jonas Brothers was... This is how you guys remember it going down?
Starting point is 00:26:06 Yes. I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast, where people could call in and say, hey, Jonas. And then I wrote down on my little notepad, Hey Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast. But thanks for remembering that, guys. Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts,
Starting point is 00:26:24 or wherever you get your podcast. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it. What's up, fam? It's Isaiah Thomas. And I'm C.J. Toledano, and our podcast Point Game is about defining the odds. Like LeBron heading into the playoffs without Luca and Austin Reed. and finding ways to win no matter what. He's the smartest player to ever play the game. His IQ is at a level that we've never seen before.
Starting point is 00:26:45 And he knows. Without Luca and Austin Reeves, I got to manipulate the game. We get a player's perspective on the challenges of the playoffs. I think Joker's going to be exhausted this series because when they don't have Rudy in the lineup, he has to really guard guys like Nas Reid. He has to guard Julius Randall.
Starting point is 00:27:03 And then he has to give us everything he gives us on the night-to-night basis on offense. And when IT's first, friends stop by like Quentin Richardson, we dive into some playoff history too. Steve Nash will get that thing. That man, hell get the flying. He run up the court, licking his fingers why he got the ball. Like, you go through a training camp with that Isaiah, you figure it out real quick. Get your ass up and down the court, and you're going to get the ball. So listen to Point Game on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your
Starting point is 00:27:31 podcast. Agency, the ability to know that we're the experts in our own body. On the podcast, cultivating her space, Dr. Dom and Terry Lomax create a space where black women can show up fully and be heard. I wholeheartedly think, you know, you hit 30. You shouldn't have to share one with anybody. Mm-hmm. From navigating friendships and healing to setting boundaries and prioritizing your mental health. These are real honest conversations. We don't always get to have out loud. Totally unreasonable with different parts of life, right? Like, oh, have all three meals and make sure you're mindful during all of them? Absolutely not. During one meal, I'm standing. I'm standing and handing my children
Starting point is 00:28:13 food. Because healing, empowerment, and resilience aren't just ideas. Their practices. And this Mental Health Awareness Month, there's no better time to pour back into yourself. Listen to cultivating her space on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. This week on Crimless, we're joined by our first ever guest. Sorry, our first ever human guest. I don't think I could be in the same room with Shamrock the parrot. I'd be too nervous. That's right.
Starting point is 00:28:49 The very funny Will Ferrell joins Rory Scoble and me, Josh Dean, for an episode dedicated to the many crimes committed by people also named Will Ferrell. They called to his fellow officer for the nippers. What are the nippers? Very good question. No, I was thinking, would that be a good name for like a salad dressing? Simple assault. And it's a play on word, salt?
Starting point is 00:29:11 Maybe not. I say we invest and we see There's only one way to know This did not amuse the cops By the way, normally the cops are amused But this did not abuse the cops Will even comes clean About some of his own crimes
Starting point is 00:29:26 I didn't get caught, you know why? If you don't want to be Suspective of anything, you whistle as you walk Listen to crime lists on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. All right, welcome back. J. Mack had a good weekend. He and I do not We just look at different games.
Starting point is 00:29:49 I took some dogs who often have fleas. I took like the Raiders, I'm betting on it, Miami. I think Miami at home, I'm surprised getting four and a half. Do you even know if Brock Bowers is playing, by the way, for the Raiders? Like, I mean... They're running the ball. Miami's crazy. I mean, going against Jim Harbaugh and Justin Herbert?
Starting point is 00:30:09 I'm not... It's not who's going to win. It's picking the winner. I pick the Chargers to win. It's who's going to cover. I mean, you know some of these guys off a loss. You think Jim Harbaugh, he's tearing off the paint in that locker room. All right.
Starting point is 00:30:22 After that loss, man. Let's do it. Tomorrow's headlines today. We predict the outcome, the headlines. Let's start week six. Let's start with second-year quarterback Drake May. Well, this is your guy. You called the Patriots your team of destiny this summer.
Starting point is 00:30:38 I was a little dubious. However, they look good. The headline for Patriots Saints will be Boston Tea Party Animal. Come on. Paints swap bourbon for brew for bourbon. I like the Patriots here big time. Colin, this is one of these, like, I know everybody wants to fade New England, right? Hey, they just beat Buffalo on Sunday Night Football.
Starting point is 00:30:58 They're not that good. They're going to fade against the Saints. I think this Christian Gonzalez addition to the defense, he's so good. I looked up the numbers, Colin. He's played since in the last two weeks. They've had seven targets at Gonzalez. He's allowed three catches. That's it.
Starting point is 00:31:12 He's a lockdown corner. So you put him on Olave, right? And he follows him around. where's Spencer Rattler going? The tight end issues murky. I think Vrable locks up Spencer Rattler in that Saints' offense. And if the Saints don't get five turnovers last week, they lose to the Giants. Remember, they were down 14-6 early, Colin.
Starting point is 00:31:30 I think the Patriots win here cover three, three and a half. I like them kind of big. All right. Tomorrow's headlines today. So this one I stayed away from because I think Stafansky's good. I think the Steelers are a little overvalued. I don't love the number. Browned at the Steelers.
Starting point is 00:31:50 I know what you're cooking on this one. You know, you're supposed to take Mike Tomlin when he's an underdog. That's right. Ra, ra guy gets everybody fired up. They're big favorites here, but for a reason, the headline for Steelers, Browns will be. Small price to pay. Gabriel can't reach first win. I know you like bagging on small quarterbacks.
Starting point is 00:32:10 This is a tough spot, Colin. Unbelievable stat for you. Mike Tomlin at home. against first year quarterbacks, 16 and 1. He dominates these young guys, throws all these wrinkles at him. And oh, by the way, Tomlin's off a buy. Any idea how he's done off a bye, Colin? Mike Tomlin, last five years off a buy, five and O, straight up against the spread.
Starting point is 00:32:27 You go back eight years, eight and O. Essentially, he's Andy Reid off a by. The guy uses his week to game plan. He's not like Belichick vacationing in the cod with his young girlfriend. Tomlin's locked in. I think Dylan Gabriel's in a real tough spot here. And I mentioned the spot because they played in London, had to travel back to the U.S., then have to travel.
Starting point is 00:32:46 It's not a big trip, though, to Pittsburgh. Steelers are rested off a by, sleeping in their own beds. There's a reason this number's creeping up. I like Pittsburgh here. And if Aaron Rogers doesn't deliver, I'll be very shocked. I think Steelers win this by double digits. Tomorrow's headlines today. Cardinals at the Colts.
Starting point is 00:33:03 Well, Colts are better and going to win the game by how much. Yeah, we have some breaking news. Kylo-Marie is at practice today. He missed the last two days with a foot injury. I personally don't think. it matters. The headline for Cardinals Colts will be the hoof, the hoof, the hoof is on fire. Give me the Colts here, Colin, big time. I mean, listen, I'm done doubting Daniel Jones and Stuyken, right? I mean, we've seen enough data. They're good. They went toe to toe with the Rams. I mean,
Starting point is 00:33:30 in a spot last week against the Raiders where you're like, oh, maybe it's a win, they beat them 40 to six. And some of the numbers for Arizona, Colin, they've lost three straight by three or fewer points. At some point, how much does that creep into your head? Damn, we keep losing these close games. They led by 14 in the fourth quarter against Tennessee. They had San Francisco beat in the Bay. So you know who else led by 14 last week and blew it was the Philadelphia Eagles? What happened to them the following week?
Starting point is 00:33:57 They didn't look from the jump. They just looked kind of defeated and slow. I worry this could be another blowout. The line currently is seven. This Colts team, for real. Jonathan Taylor, by the way, leads the NFL in rushing. Cardinals have not given up a hundred-yard rusher. If Taylor breaks a couple off, what do we got here?
Starting point is 00:34:15 I think Gannon's in some trouble. I know it's a big favorite, and I'm going three favorites to start here, but give me the Colts. Now, these big favorites have not done well. They have not. That's also true. Rams over the Niners. Bills crushing the Saints. Tomorrow's headlines today.
Starting point is 00:34:32 Bucks hosting the Niners. Half of San Francisco's not playing. I'm not touching this thing. you're going to go all in on. So sometimes, you know, you end up fading a team week after week thinking, oh, they're not good at smoking mirrors. That's me with Tampa Bay. The headline for San Francisco, Tampa Bay will be counting kylories.
Starting point is 00:34:55 Shanahan closes down bakery. I got the Niners here beating Baker Mayfield. Wow. I know it's risky. It's dumb. It's probably going to be Mack Jones. My big concern for San Fran is this defense without both. Colin, two weeks, toothless, not getting to the quarterback, can't do anything.
Starting point is 00:35:13 I mean, they openly were talking this week. Yeah, we're probably going to look at adding a defensive edge rusher. They need one. And if Baker's got time in the pocket, it could be a problem for the Niners. But why would you doubt Shanahan at this point, right? We both did last week. We got kicked in the teeth. I mean, this feels to me like a big Christian McCaffrey game.
Starting point is 00:35:32 The back end of the Tampa defense, not great. Sam Darnold, didn't you say he was like perfect last week? He was like, it missed like four incompletions or something. Listen, Mac Jones can deliver. I'll take the three with the Niners. Lions at the Chiefs. Finally, let's wrap it up week six. Tomorrow's headlines today.
Starting point is 00:35:53 Listen, I thought Kansas City played great against Jacksonville. Patrick Mahomes did not see Devin Lloyd and paid a price. But I think Kansas City's, I stayed away from this game because I think Kansas City, Even though I have Detroit as the number one team in the league, it's at Arrowhead. I think Kansas said he's going to win. So we talked about it earlier in the weekend. I was like, I think Lions, right? I don't know, Colin, you start drilling down on that Detroit resume.
Starting point is 00:36:17 They hit number one in the herd hierarchy. The headline for Chiefs Lions will be. Boxers or Chiefs, KC stops the Lion's streak. I'm going with the Chiefs. I don't like them this season, but I like them here. Colin, I looked at all these results since that lost to the Packers in the opener. They crushed the bears at home, Detroit did. That's nothing special, 50 points, whatever.
Starting point is 00:36:39 They also crushed Jake Browning, who's now been benched for Joe Flacco. They also crushed Cleveland in Detroit. Cleveland, not good on the road. And that went over Baltimore, which looked amazing. All of a sudden, Baltimore can't stop anybody because of the injuries. So maybe the lion's resume is not as great as we think it is. And, oh, by the way, two starting defensive backs, Terriott Arnold and Kirby Joseph, both not practicing this week.
Starting point is 00:37:03 now you're going up against Worthy Tyquan Thornton I think the chiefs are the side here Colin you are looking at me like you don't like this pick well I think the chiefs are the side I think and I actually I mean listen the Steelers are the side
Starting point is 00:37:19 with the Browns I've just watched three or four of these divisional games that look like locks go the other way I mean not just not covering losing Rams getting thrown around Eagles losing badly I think
Starting point is 00:37:33 of all your picks. I think Brown's at the Steelers. I think Patriots will beat the Saints. I don't think the Saints are going to score much. I just think it's very low scoring. Match up to watch in Chiefs Lions is Hutchison, who's a superstar going up against the rookie Josh Simmons, who all, remember the Ohio State kid? We heard it always so good.
Starting point is 00:37:49 He got hurt and so he dropped into the bottom of the first round. Right. So this will be the big test for him against Hutchison. If he can show out, that's a great sign. And oh, by the way, Rishie Rice coming back soon. if the Chiefs win this one, they're probably going to the playoffs. If they lose, I think that's your show opener on Monday.
Starting point is 00:38:08 Kansas City, two and four. Was surprised you didn't take Seattle. The injuries on defense. I can't. I mean, I can't do it. And I love me some Jaguars this year. I have a futures bet on them to win the division. Some kind of rooting for them every week.
Starting point is 00:38:22 All right. So Philadelphia lost last night, obviously got blown out. I thought the offense was fine. Greg Kossel has been critical of Jalen Hertz saying basically he didn't throw the ball to the middle of field, but he didn't see it, and that's okay. Tua, same thing, Russell Wilson. They're good deep ball throwers because they need to be. But we had Jordan Palmer, who's always been kind of the quarterback whisper of our show,
Starting point is 00:38:46 talking about why Jalen Hertz is struggling. You keep replacing coordinators every year, and because, whether you're doing that because your team is struggling or because your team's in the Super Bowl, every year. Either way, you start shifting coordinators. The media and the fans want to make it about scheme. I think one of the most underrated thing in sports that I don't see owners do is say, we've got a great offensive coordinator. Let's just pay him like a head coach. If it's going to cost us a chance to win a Super Bowl and make a run, let's just drastically overpay him so we don't lose him. Yeah, and listen, Jared Goff has been good with seven different coordinators. So I think
Starting point is 00:39:27 losing coordinators is a reality. I don't think he's wrong at all. I think there's for a lot of quarterbacks in this league, there's a way they have to play. And I think Jaylen's one of those guys. I think Josh Allen and Joe Burrow and, you know, Mahomes,
Starting point is 00:39:46 they can play any way they want. They just, they I think Hertz is kind of the classic. There's a way he has to play. Also, most quarterbacks are noticeably better if you give them a strong run game. I mean, you watched Jackson Dart last night with Cam Scataboo. It's amazing, isn't it? Looks like he's been in the league for a while.
Starting point is 00:40:07 You give, you know, Derek Henry and Lamar Jackson, the Ravens issues were mostly on defense. Patrick Mahomes, their offense in Kansas City this year doesn't have as much rhythm as usual. The reason it doesn't, they don't run the ball. even Mahomes, when you run the ball, you have a certain kind of a foundation of the house. We can run the ball, we can get first downs, eagles aren't running the ball particularly well, push is effective, but for like two yards.
Starting point is 00:40:35 So I think when Jalen doesn't have a consistent run game, last year he did he was great. This year, I mean, watch Cam Scadaboo last night with a really effective run game. Changes everything. I mean, by the way, Sam Darnold, oh, Seattle runs the ball really effectively. That's a lot of guys,
Starting point is 00:40:51 You know, Josh Allen was great without James Cook. I think that's kind of rare. I mean, part of the reason DAC is flourishing this year is Javante Williams has actually kind of emerged as the Denver guy. Pre-injury. You're like, oh, that's a B-plus A-minus running back. So I think Jalen Hertz is finding out what it's like to quarterback without an effective run game. There's a reason Philly went out and got Sequin Barclay. They had a bunch of guys.
Starting point is 00:41:20 They wanted the guy. And last year it delivered. This year it's not. And he's regressed. He's pulled back. All right. Great college football Saturday. Amazing baseball.
Starting point is 00:41:30 Playoff action all weekend long. First thing's first around the corner. We'll see you Monday. Be safe. The hurt. Hey guys. It's us. The Jonas Brothers.
