Starting point is 00:00:00 Hello! It is Overreaction Monday, September 13th, 2021, years after zero. It's a glorious day to be alive. Can't thank you enough for allowing us to penetrate your ear holes. If by the end of this thing you like us, please be a friend, tell a friend. If not, just act like it never happened. Let's get to it. And we want to let you know that as you watch the show today or listen to the show today, know that some things might be taken out of context later in the week, maybe even just tomorrow, because today is a day that all football fans are supposed to completely overreact about everything that happened to your favorite team just yesterday. Is your team leading the AFC South? Are you the Houston Texans?
Starting point is 00:00:41 Is your team leading the AFC East? Are you the Miami Dolphins? Is your team losing the NFC North while also being tied for first place in the NFC North? I'm talking about all four teams
Starting point is 00:00:57 fucking losing yesterday. So much happened and there's still so much of a season to be had and teams are going to transform and mold from what they are today to what they'll be tomorrow to what they'll be five weeks from now but we got to address everything we watched yesterday in the beautiful national football league and also talk about some shit that happened in college football we have a massive massive show with uh darius butler joining us in about 30 minutes nine-year nfl vet host of man of man pod and everything db great friend of the show he'll be joining us in about 30 minutes. Nine-year NFL vet. Host of the Man to Man pod and everything.
Starting point is 00:01:25 DB. Great friend of the show. He'll be joining us every Overreaction Monday for the rest of the season. Cannot wait to chat with him. Him and Dan Orlovsky. Already in a little bit of a... Oh, yeah. Already in a little bit of a scrap.
Starting point is 00:01:35 Because Dan Orlovsky, Dan Orlovsky, friend of ours, friend of everybody's. The quarterback guru on ESPN. He and Darius Butler are teammates in college. So they've known each other a long, long time. Dan Orlovsky's obviously doing a lot to put over a lot of quarterbacks. Darius Butler said, hey, that was just terrible coverage, Dan. Get over it, pal. Alright, you had a win
Starting point is 00:01:52 there. Do your thing. Can't wait to chat with him. Also, Clyde Christensen, quarterback coach for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, good friend of ours, will join us in the second hour. We'll ask them about their Thursday night win, and also, he's been coaching the NFL a long time. What are the thoughts going into week two? What can you take from week one, especially if you're Tampa Bay and made a bunch of mistakes early and kind of shot themselves in the foot with turnovers and things like that? Minus three
Starting point is 00:02:11 turnover margins, still got to win. Not going to see that the rest of the weekend. Probably not going to see that the rest of the year, by the way. But not just for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but for every team. What is the message going forward? Does week one even matter? It can, I guess, if you let it roll into week two, week three, week four, like the fucking Indianapolis Colts. I thought we had a great offensive line. Carson Wentz fended for his life. He was wishing that the rugby guy was blocking for him yet again after all the hits. He got hit 15 times
Starting point is 00:02:34 yesterday, sacked four times, Carson Wentz, in his Indianapolis Colts debut. I got a chance to hit the anvil, okay? I was 3-0 going into games where I hit the anvil for the Indianapolis Colts, gave a little promo. Talked a little shit about Russell Wilson. Had to, though. If I didn't do that, who the fuck am I?
Starting point is 00:02:48 Not me. Hit the anvil. We're at 3-0. We end up losing, making us 0-9 in our openers, I guess, since like 2013. There's a lot to talk about today, and I want to run around the room real quick to see how everybody's doing with their specific teams. At Tone Diggs, the COVID Cowboy, Pittsburgh Steelers go into Buffalo and get a massive win.
Starting point is 00:03:08 Your thoughts on where the Pittsburgh Steelers are right now on this Overreaction Monday. The Steel curtain is alive and well. Potentially the greatest defense of all time. TJ Watt, Cam Hayward, Melvin Ingram. The Blue Collar Boys were buzzing. This season is for the Steelworkers. It's going to be a great year.
Starting point is 00:03:24 Okay. I believe that what you said there was 100% accurate. Cam Hayward got 10 quarterback pressures in the middle of the defensive line. Damn. TJ Watt, two sacks, one strip sack. And then, obviously, Melvin Ingram joining the team. I forgot he was there. He's an absolute stud. That entire D-line is a game wrecker.
Starting point is 00:03:42 They didn't even have to blitz, by the way. They just ran a bunch of stunts with their studs up front. Pittsburgh Steelers are going to be fun to watch. And if you're a Buffalo Bills fan, I think you do have to be worried. There was some hesitancy coming from Josh Allen. Josh Allen against the Green Bay Packers in preseason looked exactly like he looked all last season.
Starting point is 00:03:58 Letting it fly. Letting it loose. Ball going into tight windows. Doing whatever. Against the Steelers, and maybe it's because of the stunt up front, maybe he wasn't as comfortable as everybody thought he was or maybe he was or thought he should be, and also maybe he wasn't as comfortable as he was last year. Felt like he was floating some balls in there, trying to guide balls more so than just letting it rip.
Starting point is 00:04:15 Maybe it's because it was windy. Maybe because the Steelers' defense was causing absolute hell. We have to watch that going forward. And if you're a member of the Bills Mafia, I know you showed up and showed out. That place was electrifying. I didn't see any Bills-dos. Saw no Bills-dos.
Starting point is 00:04:28 Congratulations, Bills-dos. Good work, Bills. Thank you for not throwing COVID-filled Bills-dos on the field and keeping the players safe out there. I'm excited to see what the Buffalo Bills are next week and going forward and also the Pittsburgh Steelers. Mike Tomlin just wins games, baby. That's all he does, and that team seems to be loaded.
Starting point is 00:04:45 Let's go to the AFC East, shall we? At Bubba Gumpino, our resident Dolphins fan. Gumpy, another winner in the office. Your thoughts on the Dolphins, and is this withstandable? Are the Dolphins going to go? This is the number one authority on national Dolphins shows. Is this team going to go? You think, Gump?
Starting point is 00:05:03 The Miami Dolphins will find a way to win football games under Brian Flores. Tua, 2-0 against the Patriots now. Jalen Waddell flying around out there. Will Fuller's back this week. It feels good at the top of the AFC East, Pat. I did see Kyle Van Nooy
Starting point is 00:05:20 got a sack, and that was probably a massive moment for him, especially getting out of there, but I enjoyed watching that Dolphins team. Young flying around, Tua made a couple great balls. Had a pick, but it was almost a pick that you like to see him do because last year he wouldn't throw the goddamn ball. This year he just got a little reckless there. He'll learn from it.
Starting point is 00:05:37 B-flow is awesome. Go for the Dolphins going into Foxborough and getting a big dub. I know Dolphins Nation there on the internet was a buzzing. They were loud. They were happy. And before we get to the team that they beat, we need to take a trip around Loserville. Now for everybody else. Add Evan Foxey.
Starting point is 00:05:53 How'd the Lions do, pal? We covered, Pat. We covered, Pat. Yeah, you did. You did cover somehow. Fuck me. Okay, I had alternate spread minus 13 and a half. I had alternate spread minus 13 and a half. I had alternate spread
Starting point is 00:06:05 minus 19 and a half. And by the way, there was numerous times in the game where both of those were very, very, very comfortable. You could have got the Lions I think in the third quarter at minus 21 and a half, and then it also got all the way up to plus 21 and a half. Then it almost got, I think it got all the way up to plus
Starting point is 00:06:21 23 and a half at some point. And then all of a sudden MCDC and the boys clicked. They said, oh, this is what we've been gnawing all those kneecaps for. This is why we've been feeding all those Lions in the offseason. This is why we've been running like a pride. This is why we've been fist fighting our coaches. It's because when the other team gets tired, we don't get tired. We just keep going.
Starting point is 00:06:39 We take advantage of maybe this prevent defense. Okay, maybe we start stacking some yards. And we make it uncomfortable at the end. And it got very uncomfortable for a lot of people, except for the people in Detroit who said, we got a guy who's going to get our guys to fight to the end. We're only going to lose by eight. But we ain't going to lose by 24.
Starting point is 00:06:57 No, we ain't. No. I think it was a good start. I think it was a good show. And Jared Goff looked a lot better than I thought he was going to look, by the way. I forgot that he can complete passives and make some plays, but it's going to be a long road over there.
Starting point is 00:07:07 The Niners have to answer some questions on why they couldn't finish that thing off late, but I assume they did take Gaspedo off because they were drumming the fucking line. At Viva Lozito, Chicago Bears fan, you got a chance to see it last night. I'm sure Fields Mania is going to get very quiet after last night's game and probably going forward. Your thoughts on the Bears' loss to the Rams? Well, Justin Fields had a flawless game. It was a rough game for the Bears, but let's be honest,
Starting point is 00:07:29 we played way better than the Packers. Oh, whoa. Whoa. In the NFC North with no wins for anybody, he's the only way you can rank it is style points. Yeah, true. And the Vikings, I mean, they were down 21 at one point. Okay, the Lions were down 24 at one point.
Starting point is 00:07:49 I mean, the Packers were down 35 at the end of that game. Maybe the Chicago Bears did have the best style points. Chicago Bears outright number one in the NFC. Way to go, Bears. Way to go. Let's get to it. At Ty Schmidt, the NFC North is winless. The Green Bay Packers look terrible.
Starting point is 00:08:11 Our guy, Aaron, threw a pass for an interception that was maybe the most hilarious pass I've ever seen in the NFL. You could actually hear, as he was standing in his end zone, literally one foot on the goal line. Third and whatever, down 14. Fuck it. You actually heard it. You heard it and you saw him say, oh, fuck it. Flick of the wrist, 60-yard interception in a double coverage,
Starting point is 00:08:37 opposite way of where MDS was going. I mean, it just felt like it was a terrible day to be a Packer fan. And by the way, as a very new Packer fan, just one year into this thing, I did get a chance to experience last year, and I had a lot of questions this offseason about what our team was doing. Yesterday was one of those days where I was like, God damn, this is not good at all. Once that snowball started rolling, that song bitch got big.
Starting point is 00:09:00 It was once a tiny little snowman at the bottom. Then it became frosty bouncing around. Then that snowball just continued to roll. It got worse and worse as the day go on. So much so they bench Aaron, bring in Jordan Love and there's an entire conversation now about what the fuck's going on in Green Bay. Ty Schmidt, one of the owners of the Green Bay Packers,
Starting point is 00:09:18 your thoughts? I mean, it was just a steaming pile of shit all around. Raj played like shit. He alluded to it in his press conference, which is nice. I mean, he's not a god. He might play like shit every once in a while. The offensive line looked like shit. The defense looked like shit.
Starting point is 00:09:35 Punter looked pretty good, actually. Hey, but Horn has had a couple of misses. He's had a couple of good balls as well. But, I mean, like you said, everyone else in the division lost. Not worry about it. Season starts next week. Now, if they come out and lay an egg against the lions then we may have some serious cause for concern uh the offense is going to be fine as the highest scoring offense in the nfl
Starting point is 00:09:54 last year the defense on the other hand uh what's the guy's name joe berry a lot of people learned about joe berry and this morning a lot of people learned about joe berry That defense last year, if you look at stats, I guess top ten defense. That's what Stephen A. Smith was saying this morning. But watching the game, there was a lot of decisions that were made by defense. Obviously, something has to change here. So they get rid of Petten, by the way. Bring in a new D coordinator. Where's this guy from?
Starting point is 00:10:18 I believe he was with the Rams last year. Former D coordinator of the 0- lions and, uh, the Washington football team when they fucking stunk. So, uh, I mean, I, I don't know, you know, they wanted, they wanted to get Jim Leonard who, you know, went to Wisconsin is the D coordinator at Wisconsin said, no, I'm going to stay here. So I don't know what that says. Uh, but I mean, shit, not, not looking good. It basically that slow realization that it's like, Oh, this is the same defense as last year with a different guy, and if he can't get it done, we're in trouble. Okay, so I want to let everybody know that I did text Aaron Rodgers.
Starting point is 00:10:53 I said, hey, pal, you don't want to come speak to a bunch of stooges on Tuesday. We understand. And he said, get the fuck out of here. Okay, so we will chat with him tomorrow. Cannot wait to chat with him. I assume he is going to have an incredible world view on this entire thing about how, hey, 17-game season this year, longer than it's ever been before. There's been a lot of things that have happened to teams in the past. 38-3 was exactly the score that the Saints beat who?
Starting point is 00:11:17 Bucs. Yeah. Last year. Week 9, yep. Okay, that's a little bit further into the road there. That's a brand-new team. But the Bucs lost 38-3 to the Saints. They go on to win the Super Bowl.
Starting point is 00:11:27 And although this is week one, we still have to overreact. The Packers might be dropped down to fucking double-A football. It's possible. It's possible. Oh, no. It's possible. Oh, no. Man.
Starting point is 00:11:38 Not with double-A Raw, though. No way. They'll be back. Can't wait to hear what he has to say tomorrow. We appreciate the hell out of him. And let's continue in Loserville. All right. Let's take a left turn down Foxborough.
Starting point is 00:11:47 The New England Patriots. Mac Jones' first game as New England Patriots. First game of the Mac Jones Who era. Playing against the division rival Dolphins at home. I think a lot of New England fans just expected a win. You guys get the loss. What happened over there? Well, you can't lose a turn over differential and win the game, Pat. I think
Starting point is 00:12:05 we all know that. You can't be fumbling the ball inside the 10-yard line. Mac Jones, the highest completion percentage in the history of the NFL for a rookie in his first game. Wow. Good work, Mac. He's unbelievable, but defense didn't look great. Offense was so-so. He can't score 16 points and win many games
Starting point is 00:12:21 either, Pat. So, you know, we started out last year 1-0, ended up 7-9. Starting out this season 0-1. Let's see if that flips. How are you guys going to win Super Bowl? I still have Super Bowl hopes, absolutely. Gilly walked back week seven. We need him big time.
Starting point is 00:12:35 The fumble at the 10 going in. Down two. Four minutes left. Down one. Down one. I'm sorry. Could have went up two, by the way. You just kick a field goal right there.
Starting point is 00:12:44 You could run that out. I think it was first down or whatever. The thought that the New England Patriots do something like that, is that not alarming, though? Because this is just like Hoyer last year, before the half, no timeouts, taking a sack, right in field goal range. It's like there's a lot of things happening from the Patriots organization that doesn't normally happen.
Starting point is 00:13:02 After the game, J.C. Jackson, he just got in and talked shit on Tua. He's like, yeah, that's what Tua does, man. He just throws me the fucking ball, basically. You guys lost. What's going on in New England? Have you guys lost what made New England New England? Or is this going to be, hey, it's week one. We're going to get better at all this.
Starting point is 00:13:16 Yeah, it's week one. We're going to get better. Eight penalties for 84 yards was almost more alarming for me than the turnovers because usually that is something that we never do. I think we led the league last year in the least amount of time. All these things, are you scared to death of what's going on up there in Foxborough? Not even a little. If anything, I am very pumped that we found our guy.
Starting point is 00:13:33 Mac Jones clearly is the best quarterback for our system that we could have gotten. Can't believe he dropped to 15 still. Very confident in everything. First time these guys are playing. Remember, we brought in like 9, 10 guys. This is the first time they've actually played together. Plenty of time in the season. And we got the Jets next week. And by the way,
Starting point is 00:13:52 the Dolphins beat you, by the way. Those turnovers don't just happen because of the Patriots. They happen because the Dolphins are flying around. That's X, baby. That's what X does for you. That's why you pay the man. Yeah, you're damn right. You give them money, you let them fly around out there and get turnovers or whatever. I mean, clearly in field goal range, what are we doing? By a lot.
Starting point is 00:14:08 And maybe this is something, too, that Mac Jones going forward will, in the huddle, say, hey, listen, ain't nobody fumbling the fucking ball right now. Not that he has to. It's the New England Patriots, you think. But there are some things happening up there that I think you should, you know, maybe cause for a little bit of concern. But not as much as happening over here in Indianapolis.
Starting point is 00:14:24 This Seattle Seahawks team, okay, only time we talk about them, and this is our fault, okay. I accept the shins being battered by the Seahawks fans because, to be honest, Seahawks always good over there in the NFC. Yeah, that's true. Always good, you know, always good. Had their run with the Legion of Boom. Sure.
Starting point is 00:14:44 You know, they really had their thing there whenever they were going on. Now it's Russell Wilson's team, brand-new squad, and we don't ever talk about them. You know why? Because I think the drama normally is the only conversation, and the only time to talk about them is in the offseason because during the regular season, we're losing our mind a lot of the things. The NFC West is going to be tough to get out of.
Starting point is 00:15:00 I mean, there's all that type of shit. Seattle Seahawks beat the dog shit out of the Indianapolis Colts. Yeah. Now, Frank Reich made some decisions, Indianapolis Colts head coach, Frank Reich, former quarterback. Also, the guy who had the largest comeback in NFL history and college football history is a backup quarterback, I believe. So you're talking about a guy who loves going.
Starting point is 00:15:17 He is a no-risk-it, no-biscuit type quarterback. And he has proven to be the exact same as a head coach. He goes for it in situations. Down 11, infield goal range, fourth and one. Could make this a one-score game. Now we're going to go for it. Carson Wentz fumbles the quarterback center exchange. That ball's down, boom.
Starting point is 00:15:34 Turnover on downs. They go down. Then we get the ball back, by the way. Same exact situation. Infield goal range, fourth and something. Now we're going for it again. We don't get it. There's six points left on the board where I got them at
Starting point is 00:15:45 plus eight and a half somehow in the live bet. We would have still covered it if you put those two things on there. But there's a lot that needs to be fixed in Indianapolis. Ty Lockett was running around all by himself out there. Russell Wilson was throwing deep balls like Russell Wilson. That son of a bitch might have touched the roof
Starting point is 00:16:02 of Lucasville Stadium and came down wide open. The D-line, Dunlap and the boys there, they were feasting on a great offensive line. And then Jamal Adams flies around and makes plays. I'm worried about the Indianapolis Colts. Legit. I don't know if we just turn this thing back on. There was a couple people that tweeted me and said, hey, Pat,
Starting point is 00:16:24 what I think you have to realize and all of us other Colts have to realize is that Carson Wentz is the man we know not the man we knew and I'm like whoa whoa whoa it's too fucking early for you to say that but I'll say that Carson Wentz deserves none of the hate that he's going to potentially get for his performance this past weekend and the Colts not winning
Starting point is 00:16:39 he was getting his ass beat and I'm very thankful that he's a 9 foot tall thick son of a bitch because he could be out again. Let's hopefully, yeah, let's hope that the Colts' offensive line will come back together. They're going to have to figure it out there at left tackle with Davenport. I don't know how the hell that's going to go. I mean, who knows how that's going to go moving forward.
Starting point is 00:16:56 We only got the Rams next week. Oh, that's it? Should be okay. Aaron Donald's down there. Should be fine. Leonard Floyd. That's okay. Jalen.
Starting point is 00:17:04 We'll figure it out. Jalen Ramsey. Oh, man. Last night. I love what they're doing Donner. Should be fine. Leonard Floyd. That's okay. Jalen. We'll figure it out. Jalen Ramsey. Oh, man. Last night. Love what they're doing with him. He's everywhere. Yeah. He is fucking everywhere.
Starting point is 00:17:11 He's like Palomalu almost at this point. I mean, he was everywhere. And I loved, speaking of Jalen Ramsey, I loved how the refs called the taunting. Like, I appreciate how the refs called the taunting. The one call with Jensen on Thursday night that they called, it ended up being offset and penalties. Let's just fucking move along. Nothing happened here.
Starting point is 00:17:31 Ramsey clearly had what they were calling a taunting call, like how they described it. He went onto the bench, onto his own sideline, walked the guy down and was saying things. McVay comes sprinting over. McVay grabs him and says, whoa, whoa, whoa. And I think the ref even came over and said, hey, I'm supposed to fucking call this right now. And then Ramsey turned real quick and was going the other way. I like that the refs, you know, kind of says, whoa, whoa, whoa. And I think the ref even came over and said, hey, I'm supposed to fucking call this right now. And then Ramsey turned real quick and was going the other way.
Starting point is 00:17:47 I like that the refs kind of like, hey, understood that there's a little bit of a gamesmanship in there. But Jalen Ramsey, if he's going to play football like that all season, and Matthew Stafford's going to be able to do exactly what we thought. Now, everybody's banging the drum that they were on the Matthew Stafford training earlier, which is interesting and fascinating. I'm assuming everybody was. Yeah, okay, sounds good.
Starting point is 00:18:06 But the Matthew Stafford-LA Rams offense is going to be electrifying. We expected it to be. We thought it was going to be. And that's strictly because if you hadn't watched a Detroit Lions game, all you did was look at the Lions stats for so long in their record and say, oh, that team fucking stinks. And normally in the NFL, when a team stinks, you point right at the quarterback because the quarterback has somehow claimed ownership over a win-loss stat,
Starting point is 00:18:30 even though it's an entire team sport. That's just the way we live. So Matthew Stafford, I don't think, ever got the respect that he deserved in Detroit strictly because Detroit Lions fucking stunk when he was there. Stank. Now, people won't talk about the potential curse of Calvin Johnson being forced to give his money back and Barry Sanders being forced to give his money back. Maybe they need to take some sage into the training room
Starting point is 00:18:50 like FC Richmond and fucking turn that whole thing around. But Matthew Stafford, if you watch the Lions, never once did you say, this is that guy's fault. This guy is losing. They're losing because of this guy right here. I got a chance to see it live. He was umped. Now, they did lose. They're losing because of this guy right here. I got a chance to see it live. He was ump.
Starting point is 00:19:06 Now they did lose. They did lose. Andrew Luck had a last second drive to win that whole thing. Actually did a little Matthew Stafford to Matthew Stafford. It was an awesome thing. But if you ever watched the Lions, you clearly thought to yourself, oh, this guy's unbelievable. But nobody watched the Lions except for Thanksgiving Day. Nobody
Starting point is 00:19:23 saw the Lions because the Lions stink. Nobody would go out of their way and say, hey, I only have one TV or two TVs. I'm going to use my red zone or my Sunday ticket and I'm going to use one of these TVs for a fucking Lions game. Nobody ever said that. Ever. So nobody got to see Matthew Stafford. Then obviously the Bleacher Report comedians come out and say, oh, you know, old Pat Stafford, that's all this guy cares about, and everything like that. If you watch Lions games, like I was forced to do because we have Foxy in here, it was very evident, like, oh, this son of a bitch's career is maybe getting wasted up here. And then whenever it came out this weekend that he was maybe going to be in Indianapolis Colt,
Starting point is 00:20:00 then he was potentially going to be a Carolina Panther. Like, if you're a Carolina Panthers fan, although Sam Darnold got a big win over the Jets and Christian McCaffrey's a fucking animal. Hey, he's going to take it easy though. Hey, he picks up 40 yards and then is seeking contact.
Starting point is 00:20:18 I think Matt Rule needs to tell Christian McCaffrey hey man, listen, you are one of the most explosive, electrifying, exciting football players that this league has right now. But what you need to do after you pick up 25-30, just fucking slide like a quarterback or go out of bounds. Christian Caffrey is going to say, I'm a running back. I don't do that.
Starting point is 00:20:33 And Matt Rose is going to go, listen, I'm old school. I don't like when people do that. But we need you. He takes some massive shots. And it's after Matt. He is so good at the football, so good at the football. And he is reckless and careless out there. And by reckless and careless, I mean this in a good way.
Starting point is 00:20:49 It's why he's so good. He hits a hole going 200 miles an hour. I mean, he is gone out there. But I watch and I think to myself, Carolina Panthers got to be thinking to themselves, hey, I hope that this guy survives this season. He is so fucking good at football. And by the way, Teddy Bridgewater with Carolina last year,
Starting point is 00:21:05 if he is Christian McCaffrey, probably still with Carolina. Instead, now he's in Denver doing Teddy Bridgewater stuff, getting wins. Shout out to the Denver Broncos, by the way. Von Miller ate a little bit. I mean, it's nice to see them get a win. Nice to see Teddy Bridgewater do well. But allegedly the Carolina Panthers were in on Matthew Stafford until the Rams made this last-minute jump for him.
Starting point is 00:21:22 And just the thought of Sean McVay's offense with who they – Deshaun Jackson ate last night. Yeah, he was playing. I mean, Deshaun Jackson, Cooper Cupps all the way back. That squad with that defense. I think they zoomed in on Jalen Ramsey after a touchdown bomb, that touchdown bomb from Matthew Stafford, and he was yelling very loud. And I almost wanted to grab the video and say,
Starting point is 00:21:45 what he was thinking here in his head is, we got a fucking guy. That is what that entire team is thinking. We got a fucking guy. Not that Goff wasn't. Okay, Goff is a guy. But whatever Stafford plays, I mean, he is just fucking,
Starting point is 00:21:58 and he's swag, he runs, he's a competitor. I mean, it's just like, that is going to be so much fun to watch and they got to play fucking any of us close this week. Watch out. Hey, McVay, maybe put Stafford down on the bench so we don't fuck him up too much. You know what I mean? Maybe that's something you need to do.
Starting point is 00:22:13 It was pretty awesome, though, that Goff had a nice tribute to Stafford yesterday by throwing for.350, three touchdowns, and a pick six in Stafford fashion. In the fourth quarter. Yeah. In the fourth quarter. That. In the fourth quarter. That was pretty awesome. Thank you, Goff. Hey, Goff, thank you, Goff.
Starting point is 00:22:27 Thank you, Goff, for paying tribute to nine. Goff had, what, 49 or 50 attempts? Over 50. Like 57 or something. MCDC, I thought we were going to run the ball, man. That's not how we want to play football. How come they didn't give Swift a rock? He had a lot.
Starting point is 00:22:39 He had a score. They just got down so fast and early. Offensive line actually looked really good, and Sewell looked great at left tackle who had to switch over because Decker's hot. He's hot. Yeah. Well, maybe we bring in Penny Sewell and say, hey, we got a left tackle spot for you.
Starting point is 00:22:54 Uh-huh. Because speaking of left tackles, the most popular one in the NFL. Knees stop podcasting. Oh, yeah. That's what people are going to say to him. Big time. Becausees stop podcasting. Oh, yeah. That's what people are going to say to him. Big time. Because he has such
Starting point is 00:23:08 an electrifying personality and talks to his friends into microphones. That is what people are going to say to him. And I love that Taylor LeJuan owned up and was like, hey, listen,
Starting point is 00:23:17 Chandler Jones is really fucking good at football. Five sacks for Chandler Jones. This comes after like a potential contract dispute with the Cardinals. And at one point after his fifth sack, two of them being strip sacks, I believe, so two turnovers.
Starting point is 00:23:31 After the fifth one, he did the money dance. And I think what he said was, give me my fucking money. I think I saw that exactly. He said that he'd changed that game completely. Taylor LeJuan is one of the league's best left tackles. He's coming off of an injury. I assume he knew that squaring off against Chandler Jones
Starting point is 00:23:54 in the first game. A man who has 20 some sacks I think in the last couple years. I think like yearly. He has go ahead. What is his sack total? He was hurt last year. Then he had 19 the year before that. 13 and then 17 the year before that. So he's good, he's a good player. Yeah, he can play. He is on
Starting point is 00:24:09 pace right now to do 85 sacks this season. If he does that, I think it's going to be tough for Arizona to say, hey, listen, we ain't going to pay you. You know what I mean? I think that is difficult. 85 will be a record, too. J.J. Watt would be a record.
Starting point is 00:24:26 It would be Astros. But there's a chance he breaks it by week five if he gets five. Nah, they won't say that in the overall history books. Over there at Hall of Fame, they have those little... The Rolodexes. The U.S.G. Jump tribes. There it is.
Starting point is 00:24:43 The jump tribes. For the people saying that about Taylor LeJuan, though, it's like, hey, dude, tore his ACL last year and also let's see what happens with Chandler Jones next week when he eviscerates the next left tackle they're playing because he's absurdly good and now has J.J. Watt with him. Okay, so, boys, I would like to say that my FanDuel count has reached zero. Yeah. Okay?
Starting point is 00:25:03 Yeah. Okay, well. It's Okay. Yeah. Okay. It's tough. Basically, every bet I made yesterday. And we said, hey, we don't really know what we're doing until about week four or five. That's right. We don't know what any of these teams are. Just because how they performed last year doesn't mean that's going to be how they perform this year.
Starting point is 00:25:19 What you did yesterday literally doesn't matter. You have to do it again today. And who knows how one new player might affect an entire team like for instance i thought julio jones was really going to be a spark that would ignite that entire tennessee titans team but chandler jones with his five sacks that arizona cardinals team absolutely unbelievable where is going to be able to continue to do this i think there's a chance they will cliff kingsbury was even a little bit fire around he was he was even a little fiery on the sideline he's big laissez-faire guy normally super chill and relaxed and coolest guy in the room he was fired up on the sideline about some time out some challenge something he did he was motherfucking
Starting point is 00:25:53 a ref and i i assume there's some people out there don't like not me i fucking love it when i see a coach chewing out a ref refs don't love it obviously the nfl doesn't love it but that makes me say okay this coach cares like I think this coach... B-Flo got me fired up last year whenever he was chasing refs off the field. Hey, I want to let you motherfuckers know you fucked us today. Hey, when you look into me tonight, I want you to think, oh, I'm the ref that screwed over
Starting point is 00:26:15 Brian Flores and the fucking Miami Dolphins. That's basically what he was saying. I love whenever that happens. Cliff Kingsbury, if Kyler Murray's going to continue to be a Madden game, which he was at times last year, so much so that I bet on him basically every single game last year, and it broke
Starting point is 00:26:32 my heart and my account numerous times. I want to let everybody know I am back hard on the standstill. We will be until further notice, we will be shillelaguing, hammering, shellacking the Arizona Cardinals because if they... Oh, no. Is that Aaron?
Starting point is 00:26:47 Yeah, it was. This is not a sign of how we feel or how Aaron's going to play next week, by the way. Not at all. That's just the shillelagging first time getting swung. It's a heavy shillelagging. It brings a hammer. The shillelagging. Anyways, we're shillelagging and shillacking
Starting point is 00:27:04 the shit out of the Arizona Cardinals until further notice. If they're going to... James Conner was throwing, dude. Yeah. Okay. Rondell Moore getting loose out there. Kyler Murray's playing like a video game. Chandler Jones getting five sacks. J.J. Watt was causing pressures and getting
Starting point is 00:27:19 moves as well. I mean, that Buda Baker cooking back there. Isaiah Simmons was dying. Hey, he scooped a ball that looked like an... I mean, they... Hey, this back there. Hey, he scooped a ball that looked like an athlete. I mean, they, hey, this might be the year where, although we lost a lot of money on them last year, and although, I mean, we're talking five, six figures were gone because of the Arizona Cardinals last year,
Starting point is 00:27:36 because of these moments of greatness. Last year, Kyler Murray hit that little stutter step on a professional athlete, like maybe week one or week two. And I was like, well, I'm going to bet on that human every single time. And I did, and we lost a lot of close games. We talked to Kyler in the offseason, and Kyler said, hey, listen, we just got to focus on being consistent every single day going to work. I think it sounded like he was maturing and growing through that entire thing.
Starting point is 00:28:00 If that team can play, especially with J.J. Watt over there. Oh, yeah. Hopkins, there. Oh, yeah. Hopkins, unbelievable. Oh, yeah. Fucking, he's going up. Oh, yeah. He is going up. Ridiculous.
Starting point is 00:28:11 A.J. Green looked pretty good, too. He had a couple catches. Kirk. We will bet on the Cardinals until further notice, but they are in the NFC West. In that NFC West, 4-0, everybody's going to be good over there.
Starting point is 00:28:23 If you like them, they are still plus 500 to win that division. Pretty good odds there. Kyler Murray is plus 1,600 to win Offensive Player of the Year. Chandler Jones is plus 850 to win Defensive Player of the Year. I said this last night to myself as I looked at the zero in my account and only my active bets because they're all future bets oh yeah i got matthew stafford for mvp very early with great odds i was staring down that one i'm like we'll leave this
Starting point is 00:28:54 one in there yeah there's a couple other that i thought you know could cash out yeah okay maybe i could just take like a five dollar loss ten dollar loss on this just so i can get back in the game. Even though I think my account was staring at me saying, hey, take the night off. Let's wait until Monday football. Let's do a little sleepy time here, pal. Let's come back into this thing. That was the one I looked at all my future bets I have created through the offseason when I would just get bored and go in there.
Starting point is 00:29:18 That was the one I was like, thank you, Matthew. Looks like at the end of the season, this one's going to be good. But Kyler Murray, Offensive Player of the Year, is not a bad thought. Tonight, we got Lamar Jackson. Yep. That team has been riddled with injury and catastrophe. I can't wait to see what that team does. They've got some studs in the backfield still somehow.
Starting point is 00:29:39 Latavius Murray, Le'Veon Bell, Devontae Freeman, right? Yep. And Lamar Jackson's still Lamar Jackson. Have people figured him out? And is John Gruden in the Raiders going to be the one to stop him first and lay the blueprints? Hey, this is what we're doing in 2021 to stop Lamar Jackson. Or is Gruden going to go out there and absolutely ball?
Starting point is 00:29:56 They're facing IRS issues way above them. But the Raiders always win games and none of us expect them to. And I think it's because they're in the Chiefs division, who once again, by the way, they are fucking unbelievable. I have no idea how much they're going to win by each game. We can't bet on them. No. Can't bet on the Chiefs.
Starting point is 00:30:12 The only thing you can bet on the Chiefs is the money line because whenever they decide to, they're going to go. And you can actually see it happening. Last night in the Kingdom, you could actually see it happening. When Patrick Mahomes started yelling to the crowd. When Travis Kelsey started going. It was literally you saw the transformation of now we go. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:31 That was literally what it was. And the whole him just throwing it in in September, Patrick Mahomes, 11-0 in his 11 starts, 3,637 passing yards, 35 TDs, zero interceptions. Absurd. Okay, Sunday Night Football had that stat last night on Football Night in America. I fucking lost my mind. I was like, oh, we got to talk about this. 35 touchdowns, zero interceptions in a month of September in Patrick Mahomes' career. Absolutely absurd.
Starting point is 00:30:54 Him throwing a 50-yard sidearm flick to Tyreek Hill. And, you know, if that was down the sideline, people would say it was back shoulder. You know, everybody said he just kind of hooked, but it was, you know, he threw it behind the center, made him stop, had him do a whirlybird. He said afterwards that he literally couldn't see Tyreek Hill. He just saw his little hand sticking up. So that means he saw Tyreek Hill's glove
Starting point is 00:31:13 that has the peace sign on it, literally just like this, and Patrick Mahomes sees the peace sign. He's like, oh, it's fucking Tyreek down there. Let me go ahead and huck this thing. 75-yard touchdown. It's unbelievable, and they just do it. Travis Kelsey, two touchdowns. And Cleveland
Starting point is 00:31:27 Browns are fucking awesome to watch. They can OBJ hopefully next week. That comes out of nowhere. Baker Mayfield absolutely balling. Chubb walked a couple in. Hunt's running hard. That defense, Miles Garrett and Clowney literally meeting at Patrick Mahomes a couple different times. The Browns are going to be good. What?
Starting point is 00:31:43 I'm not saying it, Pat. I'm not saying it, Pat. What? I'm not saying it, Foxy. Go ahead, Tony. Say it, Tony. I'm not doing it. Do it, Tony. What, in your little swooshy-ass Steelers jacket that's been rubbing in the microphone?
Starting point is 00:31:55 Say it. Heinz Field sitting right next to you in beautiful splash. I'm just saying that they might have made some mistakes that past Browns teams have made. Oh. Like what? What are you saying? I'm not doing it. Say it.
Starting point is 00:32:11 Do it. What are you trying to say? Do it. Do it. Same old Browns. No! Cody! What if they do this against the Chiefs, dude?
Starting point is 00:32:19 This is the same old Browns they'd be doing against the Jaguars. Yeah. And by the way, Coach Dave said, hey, A Aarabin welcome to the men's league that's right joining us now it's one of my favorite humans ever exist hmm okay you heard that story about red 18 yep the only reason why I was on that trip is because this man told the sheriff I think you should have the partner he was he was my quarterback coach whenever I got to Indianapolis. He was offensive coordinator at one point.
Starting point is 00:32:49 Always has been an absolute living legend. Once coach, Peyton Manning, Andrew Luck, and now Tom Brady with the Buccaneers. Ladies and gentlemen, quarterback coach for the Super Bowl champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Clyde Christensen. Clyde! How you doing? Good to be back with you. Hey, is that your board behind you there? You got 20 on there for me?
Starting point is 00:33:11 You owe me 20. Oh, film. Film. We're watching film. Oh, I love that. I love that. I really haven't. I just put it up there for this show.
Starting point is 00:33:21 It doesn't move, but just a picture. Hey, that's a smart idea to have back there. Always prepared. always ready. Let's talk about your team. Let's talk about your room. Tom looked dialed in on Thursday night. There was obviously turnover margin was not great. You only win like 8% of the time when you're minus 3, but there was obviously a
Starting point is 00:33:37 Hail Mary, a deflection there. Tom looks great right now. Is this what you expected, and do you think there's a little bit more shit to him here early this season than maybe you saw last year, coach? Yeah, I think he's way ahead of last year. Way, way ahead of last year. Last time I talked to you, I just think he's feeling good. He's feeling healthy. He's feeling comfortable. I'll be shocked if he doesn't get off to a much better start. He already is. And he was extremely sharp. We didn't do everything right like most opening days, but we sure made a bunch of big plays,
Starting point is 00:34:06 and he sure made some big-time throws out there. So, yeah, I think we're way, way ahead of last year. I think he feels better. I think he feels better mentally. I think he feels better physically. And obviously at this time last year we hadn't even – we were just getting acquainted. We just met.
Starting point is 00:34:21 Literally there was no offseason last year. So I do think we're ahead, and we've got a got long ways to go but it was fun to win that opener it was fun to have fans back in there it's fun to play that big game on thursday night and then uh sit back and watch everyone else's ulcers churn all sunday and saturday and sunday afternoon so it's uh and you know how those thursday night wins are they're they're they're fun to win yeah it's a nice three-day weekend ahead of you whenever you win on Thursday night. I have to go back to a moment that was captured on NBC that night. They go up, okay, with like 120 or something left.
Starting point is 00:34:55 And there's a shot of Tom Brady literally staring at the field. And then he just turns his head. And it's like everybody on earth knew exactly what was going to happen there. Everybody on earth. Are you around him there? Do you just stay the hell out of the way? How does that whole thing go? And at what point does he flip that switch, you think? When he gets that look, you stay out of the way.
Starting point is 00:35:15 You hope it's not directed at you. You're happy it's not directed at you and that it's directed at the opponents and whatever has fired him up. And I'm like you. There's nothing like having a quarterback that, you know, you and I both had one for a lot of years that no matter what the score, you just are never out of it. You get a two-minute drive, you leave a minute, minute plus on the clock, and you just know you have a great chance to win the football game.
Starting point is 00:35:38 And so great way to start the season, you know, game winner and two-minute. And Dallas' offense is formidable. Dak played awesome. And, uh, but, but that, that was, that was, that was good for us. And it was a good learning experience. I think anything with all the Superbowl hangover, any of that stuff got knocked up and we were a little bit humbled and know how, you know, good film showed how much work we got to do. So, Hey, that's a good way to get this thing kicked off. I know a couple of the boys are going to ask you about Dak because what what he did what you just said unbelievable coming out of that injury with so many days off he just let that thing eat a lot of the boys are going to ask you
Starting point is 00:36:12 about that but i want to ask you about tom brady because i want to ask you about tom and peyton and luck even what do you think it is that separates patrick mahomes seems to have this yesterday you watch it it was almost like watching on tv. You knew when Patrick and Travis Kelsey and them were going to flip the switch. It felt like, oh, they go. What do you think it is mentally that really some of these guys have that some people don't have? I think it's kind of a perfect storm. I certainly think God blessed them with a bunch of ability to play that position,
Starting point is 00:36:40 but then they work unbelievably hard, how they prepare. I just think it's no surprise. They got a little bit of swagger. They know they're prepared and they just believe that they're going to win that thing. Tom, I said it to you before, just last year, I don't think anyone in this building thought we were going to win the Super Bowl at the end of the, at the halfway point of the season, other than him and Bruce Arians, you know, that they just believe something good is going to happen all the time. And I do think those guys just have a swagger and, you know,
Starting point is 00:37:10 they have a gene that the rest of us didn't get sometimes. You know, they just kind of thrive on it. They just play their best football when the pressure's on. And they just always think you're going to come out on top. They just believe it. And when you don't, they're in shock. You know, they're in shock. They just always think you're going to come out on top. They just believe it. They're in shock. They're surprised.
Starting point is 00:37:30 They just believe it's going to happen. I do think that they do have a little bit of a confidence level or a swagger level that the average guy doesn't have. There's an awful lot of quarterbacks in this league who aren't sure that it's going to happen, which is an equally bad feeling.
Starting point is 00:37:47 And we've probably coached some and been around some where you weren't sure, you were pretty sure it wasn't going to happen. And that's not a good feeling that you have to get lucky. But, man, when you see him take the field, you just go, this guy's going to take us down the field and we're going to win this football game. That's what's going to happen. Man, I know there's going to be memes made about me, but I'm happy to be this guy's fucking quarterback, coach. I am happy to be this guy. Amen. Coach, before the boys have
Starting point is 00:38:14 some questions for you, and we can't thank you enough for joining us here. Incredible film study. I'm sure you're in the middle of it and you will be tested and everything like that by everybody, but you've been around the NFL a long time. How many years have you been coaching in the NFL? 25-plus, I guess. It feels like a couple one or two, but it has been a blast. And it's, you know, I'm glad we found our young quarterback of the future here in Brady, and I just don't know if I'm going to be able to hang on that long. He's got 10 or 15 in him.
Starting point is 00:38:45 I'm not sure I do, but gosh, he just looks young and fresh and fun to watch work. It's amazing. I agree. And your 25-year experience, though, because we are literally, our show is called Overreaction Monday, and we do it every single week. We lose our minds to what happened yesterday and we maybe are part of peddling the overreaction around the internet and I do feel bad but there are some teams that watch their teams play yesterday or maybe even on Thursday where this season's already over or
Starting point is 00:39:15 we already won the Super Bowl and your 25-year experience even with the Buccaneers now like how much growth do you expect from your team over a season? And how much change really can happen? Because I think night and day can legitimately happen on teams. Yeah, and I think it did for us last year. I mean, I'm not sure we didn't start out in the bottom five teams in the league, how we started out playing and then ended up, you know, I don't think until we were did I ever think we were the best team in the league. And, you know, so I think a bunch can happen. I think it's tough on quarterbacks.
Starting point is 00:39:46 These expectations are so high. Everyone jumps to conclusions. You think it's the fans, but it's inside buildings too. All of a sudden people are in a panic inside of these buildings. I think it's the head coaches and management that stay together for the long haul. I think it's one of the reasons these quarterbacks aren't developing. There's so many changes of staff. there's so many changes of staff.
Starting point is 00:40:06 There's so many changes of system. There's so many changes of quarterbacks that, you know, it's hard to stabilize and just improve. You've got to put yourself – I thought Coach Dungy always did a great job of just having a long view of this thing that you were going to keep – we weren't going to switch out all these different positions. We were just going to keep improving, keep doing what we do, and keep improving. We weren't going to panic and throw in somebody else's offense in week four because we hadn't been scoring touchdowns. We just were going to stay with it.
Starting point is 00:40:32 And it just doesn't happen much in this league. People don't stay with their system. People don't stay with their quarterback. People don't stay with their people, you know, so to speak. So I think I'm lucky I've been around pretty stable places and pretty stable guys and pretty stable quarterbacks. But, you know, it really is – it discourages me, especially with these young quarterbacks that, you know, need a chance to develop.
Starting point is 00:40:56 I mean, who, you know, we drafted one last year and hopefully he won't have to play for a few years. But he sits there and he watches Tom Brady. He gets coached. He practices. And, you know, it's a whole different thing than all of a sudden you come in as the savior of the city and the savior of the franchise. And, you know, it's really unfair.
Starting point is 00:41:13 And, by the way, if you're the best player, you go to the worst teams and the biggest need to rebuild. So that can be a curse. That can be a curse. And next thing you know, you've been playing, you know, after the first year you're labeled as a bust. And, you know, you're going through all those, you know, all those issues of, you know, people seeing you as a bust, which is hard to overcome. And so, yeah, it is. That's real. We laugh about it, but that's real. And I think it's real inside and outside of buildings. inside and outside of buildings. Isn't that crazy to think about?
Starting point is 00:41:46 Like, we do it as a joke of how everybody acts, and we're actually feeling these ways, but we're out there. And I'm happy you said it, but it's real. There are some key positions in some buildings where they read and see and they react and adjust just like the normal fan would be, and they have the say. I don't even know if they know they have the say to be like, yeah, get them out, get them out. And it's like, oh, you're just going right back to – you're going right back into this thing.
Starting point is 00:42:06 But there are some times, Coach, where week one is exactly who we thought they were. You just got to hope that your team is either on the good side of that and not the wrong side of that. Go ahead, Ty. Coach, going back to Dak, obviously you have a bunch of stuff on your plate. But, like, during these games, like on Thursday night, do you ever kind of just sit back and get to appreciate how he's playing? Because obviously, like as fans, we knew what to expect from you guys.
Starting point is 00:42:29 We kind of knew what was going to happen. But I think a majority of the people took away from that game like, wow, Dak was very, very impressive. And he's back 100%. Yeah, I was really interested, you know, because he hadn't played in the preseason. And so, yeah, I do. I kind of become a fan there at points in the game and I'm watching. And then even just usually I'll watch the day after the game. We had extra days this week because it was a Thursday game.
Starting point is 00:42:53 And just go back and watch him. And it was really impressive. And, you know, to get hit, to have the injury that he had, and to go back in there against a couple good pass rushers and just sit in the pocket, keep your eyes downfield, I thought it was unbelievably impressive. And I've always admired Dak and the work he puts out there. And, you know, man, I thought that was off the charts good performance.
Starting point is 00:43:21 On the road, first time playing in a while, first time crowd, crowd noise, you know, playing from behind a good chunk of the game. And he takes them down on what could have been a game winning two minute drive. It was a heck of a performance. And thank goodness, you know, we had a little something to say about it at the very end of the thing. But he had he had a great day. And that was impressive. Tough man, tough minded, tough physically. And I got a lot of respect from I've never met him, got a lot of respect for him i've never met him but a
Starting point is 00:43:45 lot of respect for him i want to follow up on the cowboys real quick because they're cowboys fans i think you know there's no such thing as a consolation prize but your team is so good so good with so many great players i think cowboys fans are very optimistic about the future that defense they did they obviously look much different than the defense they were last year whenever you guys played against them and did they do anything that really – what do you expect from – what did you expect from them and what did you get from them? Yeah, I'll tell you. These games are really hard on coaches because so many staffs have changed.
Starting point is 00:44:13 They had a new defensive coach. You don't have any film. I was watching Hasselbeck last week. He was in one of our cut-ups against his defensive coordinator. So that tells you that was a long time ago. But you you're just trying to piece together it's the same this week we play atlanta a new defensive staff and a new head coach a new defensive coordinator and uh you know it's extremely hard to get a beat on people especially until you start getting some films and see what they're going to become so they they luck fortunate for us is they play sound, good, fairly simple football.
Starting point is 00:44:46 So they weren't, it was pretty much what we thought. It's kind of that Seattle system and a lot of three deep. But they did a couple things that threw us for a loop, and we were slow to react to. But they did a really nice job. But these weeks on coaches and on quarterbacks are extremely hard just because you don't have film. And then the league turns over so much. I don't know how many new defensive coordinators there are,
Starting point is 00:45:11 but I bet almost near half of them are changed from last year. So your film from all last year is worthless to you. Hey, just do what Jalen did. I mean, I think Tom could do that. Yeah, they had a lot of success. You guys are going to be hitting a buzzsaw from that Atlanta team, though. I mean, I think Tom could do that. Yeah, they had a lot of success. You guys are going to be hitting a buzzsaw from that Atlanta team, though. I mean, they got embarrassed at home. I mean, that's something you have to also play into it, you know what I mean,
Starting point is 00:45:33 especially with the target on your guys at all times. Go ahead, Connor. Yeah, Coach, right before half, Tom threw a little Hail Mary ball that got returned a decent way. But at the end of the play tom threw his throwing shoulder into the chest of a cowboy's d-back did you tell him like hey we can't have you getting injured like this or you're just gonna let him compete out there i didn't see it because my eyes were closed once it came breaking out of there you're always going oh no it's gonna get to the quarterback
Starting point is 00:46:02 kind of kind of like on returns and it gets to the kicker. But, you know, no, yeah, I always cringe. I always try to say, go low, you know, just take your shot there. But, yeah, that was a little bit overexciting at the end of the half there. And that guy came ripping out of there. So, yeah, no, I always cringe at that. And, you know, you sure don't want to lose a quarterback that way. I'd love to.
Starting point is 00:46:29 He made a heck of a throw on the Hail Mary. I thought we were going to have a chance at that thing. And we messed up our timeout situation before that. We blew a timeout at the end of the half and at the end of the game, which we got to clean up because that would have really made it a lot easier to do it because we could have thrown the ball inside those hashes and still burned the timeout and got those points. Yeah, there were some things that were ugly.
Starting point is 00:46:52 You know, you guys won minus three turnover. That doesn't happen, you know. So I assume you guys were both optimistic about that and also like, what the hell's going on here? All right, let's go ahead. Week two cannot have week one stuff, I assume, is the statement around there? I would say that we've always acknowledged
Starting point is 00:47:09 we're not normal around this joint. We kind of do things wild and woolly, and so that's certainly the case. That was Coach Arians' message to them. Hey, but we don't want to make a living trying to beat 90% odds. That's not the way to make a living. But I do think that sometimes when you have a franchise quarterback like we have,
Starting point is 00:47:28 that those numbers are for the average man. Those numbers are for the average man. And we don't have an average guy at quarterback, so sometimes they go down the tube a little bit. Oh, that was awesome. That's Coach. Hey, that is Coach right there. Last question here, Coach.
Starting point is 00:47:43 We can't thank you enough for joining us. You're the best. Go ahead, Coach. That's Coach. Hey, that is Coach right there. Last question here, Coach. We can't thank you enough for joining us. You're the best. Go ahead, thanks. It's been good. Coach, there was a moment on the last drive where it seemed like there was a play called in and Tom looked at his wristband and then shook his head at the sideline and then called another play. Does Tom have the ability, I assume he does, to shake off a play
Starting point is 00:48:04 and then call whatever he wants? And do you know if that was the situation there? Yeah, it was more, ours was more the situation. We were trying to figure out how to run some time off the clock. And, you know, so I think it was more of a misunderstanding of what we were trying to get done with the running the time off the clock. We called a couple double outs where two guys are working the sideline. We just really wanted to throw that ball out of bounds, you know, some time off don't leave them time after the field goal attempt and so it was more of that than it was shaking off a play in this case and uh but he always has he always has you know it's talked through he has a lot of things he can go to at
Starting point is 00:48:39 any time and uh but i think he was thinking hey i don't want to throw one over there by the sideline where something bad could happen and i think our intention offensive hey, I don't want to throw one over there by the sideline where something bad could happen. And I think our intention offensively was, hey, we just want to throw this thing out of bounds and run four or five seconds off the clock three times and take that thing down where there wasn't going to be more plays. And that's happening in live speed with Byron Lefkowitz and him making decisions, which, by the way, if you have Tom Brady, you'd like him to be a part of the decision, I'd assume. Absolutely. Yeah. And so Byron's saying, hey, do you want to blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, Tom with a huh, okay, then we'll do this.
Starting point is 00:49:10 That's awesome. Like that is great communication in a very high-pressure moment, right? Yeah, and then you add in the head coach, and in our case, the head coach is, you know, it's his offense, you know, that it's his offense. So sometimes, you know, he'll, in the heat of battle, give us something and he knows exactly what he wants and why he wants it. And maybe he might be the only one who knows exactly why he wants what he wants.
Starting point is 00:49:32 So we unfolded it. It wasn't as smooth as it will be down the road in this season. But we got it unfolded and ran some time off and suck up. Hit the kick and didn't leave them a whole bunch of time. So we got the end result we were looking for. Sometimes isn't as smooth. And, you know, just to play those – that first game, it's hard to prepare for. Those guys haven't played many snaps, and, you know, we try and protect them.
Starting point is 00:49:56 And you try and create as many situations as you can. But, you know, it's a little bit different out there on the grass on a Thursday night national TV game with a full house. It's a little bit different. And that's a on a Thursday night national TV game with a full house. It's a little bit different. And that's a great situation to learn from going forward, by the way. So now that you have that one under control, there'll probably be another situation where it'll pop up. You guys will run through it again in practice, and it'll be like, oh, this was exactly what we had before the half there. I mean, I can't wait to watch your team grow, Coach.
Starting point is 00:50:20 Thank you so much for your time. Hey, I appreciate you. Appreciate you. Appreciate your friendship and for having me on the show. No, you're great.

Roman ready. We're going to be joined by a man whose team started out the season on quite a high note. The New Orleans Saints spanked the Green Bay Packers 38-3 down in Jacksonville. It was a blowout that none of us could have seen coming, except for the New Orleans Saints players and the New Orleans Saints fans. The man who's joining us right now has already started doing work with United Way
Starting point is 00:53:04 to raise money for the people in the panhandle dealing with Hurricane Ida. Ida. Which has been a real pain in the ass for a lot of people. This man was actually quoted after the game as saying, our people don't have power. Okay? After what happened with Hurricane Ida. But they were watching this
Starting point is 00:53:20 game. Much like back in the day when Hurricane Katrina came through and the Saints went on that magical run, it really felt as if DeMario and the entire New Orleans Saints team felt like they had to put on for the people of the panhandle down there after Hurricane Ida. Not only
Starting point is 00:53:36 talking about it, being about it, raising money. Ladies and gentlemen, all-pro linebacker of the New Orleans Saints, DeMario Dixon. What up, dude? What's going on, good people? What's going on? Hey, where are you guys? In Dallas? Are you in Jacksonville?
Starting point is 00:53:48 Where are you right now? We in Dallas. We just boarded the bus getting ready to head to our Monday lift. Okay. We're at the TCU field. Hey, Sean. By the way, I heard the TCU field is very nice. Sean Payton said, hey, it's not just the players.
Starting point is 00:54:05 We brought family. We brought everybody over there. Do you guys feel like you're in college right now? Like the entire, does it feel like it's brought you together more because they have to deal with all this tomorrow? It's certainly something. It's a tremendous organization because they brought, you know, our families, spouses, girlfriends, kids, you know,
Starting point is 00:54:26 just to make sure that everybody is able to evacuate safely. But at the same time, I guess, still feel like you're at home as best you can. But we're making the most of the situation. I'd say, and by the way, that's what the people of New Orleans will do, right? I mean, that's kind of the way New Orleans gets by. What you're doing with United Way, raising money. We're going to run the video on our show with the QR code.
Starting point is 00:54:48 I mean, the Saints kind of stepping up and feeling that way about the area. Do you feel like you have to do that type of thing, or is it just at this point you feel one with the city so much, like, let's go ahead
Starting point is 00:54:57 and do this thing and put it on for everybody? It's a combination of both. I believe to whom much is given, much is required. That's kind of the point that I live by. We have instruments, so we have to use them. Especially when people are hurting, when people are in need, everybody doesn't have the luxury to be able to just pick up and move and evacuate when natural disasters come.
Starting point is 00:55:21 And I think that's just part of being a human being in humanity. We bear one another's burdens and so when you can lend a helping hand, you do it and so we just, I mean, the city and the area needs it. So anyone around the world wanting to help doing it through United Way alongside us. It is a tremendous way to help. They do a great job of doing the research to figure out what areas need it the most. In times like this, a lot of people can kind of use it and do different things with it, but they're going to do the right thing. That's why we chose to work alongside them.
Starting point is 00:55:57 They're doing tremendous work. It's a lot of immediate needs. There's going to be a lot of long-term needs that are needed. A lot of resources are going to be needed for us to get Buster where we want to be back in the city. So even though we have our mission at hand to play these games, we still want to be on the front lines helping our people. Hey, that's awesome, DeMario. That's incredible.
Starting point is 00:56:19 We will obviously donate. We'll put $10,000 in there. Hopefully, there will be. Oh, man, thank you. Hey, no, thank you for joining us, especially on the Buster. You sit back by the bathroom. That was always where I like to hang out by there too. All the way in the backers. Is normal for you or are you up in the front
Starting point is 00:56:34 normally? This is the spot, man. Ever since, you know, back riding school and middle school, high school, the cool spot was the back of the bus, man. Just kept it the same. You got to do what you got to do. Yesterday, you guys beat the dog shit out of the Packers. I mean, did you know in practice what type of team you had?
Starting point is 00:56:52 Did you know that the defensive line was going to be a problem for that offensive line? Did you know Jameis Winston was going to be slinging that thing? How was the vibe of the team? There's been a lot of turnover, a lot of change, obviously. You guys just kicked the shit out of the NFC Championship back-to- of turnover, a lot of change, obviously. You guys just kicked the shit out of the NFC Championship back-to-back losers Green Bay Packers yesterday. Do you have your headphones connected or no?
Starting point is 00:57:13 Yes, I do. Okay, get those things out of there. We can't hear your beautiful voice right now. We can't hear anything. You're saying amazing stuff, I believe, and we can't hear a single thing you're saying. Can you hear me now? I don're saying. Can you hear us now? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:57:26 Can you hear me now? I don't know what's up. Let me see. Right now we're looking up the bus that the Saints are using. Beautiful bus. It is a beautiful bus. And by the way, Eric. Can you hear me now?
Starting point is 00:57:41 Yeah! Can you hear us? Yeah, I can hear you good. Okay, perfect. Demario, you guys beat the hell out of the Packers. You knew you guys had a good team going in there. Good day at the office. I don't think the Packers picked up a first down to the fourth quarter.
Starting point is 00:57:54 What was the read on the Packers' offense you guys had in coming in? Was it the same as playing them before? Did you change anything defensively? Why were you guys? And is this what the Saints' defense is going to be all damn year? We certainly have a high standard for ourselves on defense, you know, week in, week out. And it all begins with the same formula, stop the run, get out the field on third down, create takeaways. Unfortunately, we were able to do all those things yesterday
Starting point is 00:58:27 and for us to continue to play at the level that we know we can and want to, we're going to have to continue to do that. 38-3. I mean, what does Sean Payton say after that game in the locker room? Hey, yeah, I mean, we beat the shit out of them. Let's run this thing back. What is the message after that? That is a dominant performance from front to back there.
Starting point is 00:58:51 What's the message? How do you continue to grow on this? The message is simple. That game is done. On to the next. God, I love it. Jameis Winston. You guys obviously had confidence and faith in him,
Starting point is 00:59:04 but what he did yesterday with that offense, I assume everybody was giving him massive love and praise and excited for his opportunities here as the New Orleans Saints quarterback with brand-new eyes, just got LASIK last year. Brand-new eyes on Jameis Winston out there? I think his progression has just been phenomenal. As a player, as a person, as a leader, you can see the evolution. He's always been a – I mean, his reputation precedes him as far as his work.
Starting point is 00:59:37 He's always been one of the hardest working guys in the field. But, you know, leading guys at the quarterback position, there's so much that goes into that to see his evolution, his growth as a player, as a man, and to be able to be coached by, you know, one of the best offensive minds ever in the history of the game, to be able to sit behind the Hall of Fame quarterback an entire year, which I know was very humbling to him to be able to take that
Starting point is 01:00:09 and to use it as a stepping stone. You know, we need him to play great this year, and he has the capability of doing it, and he showed it yesterday. I just think the sky's the limit. There's not a person, I said it yesterday, I'll say it again, not a person in the building I'm more proud of than him just because of the journey. I've had the opportunity to watch the journey,
Starting point is 01:00:33 and he's handled that adversity and waiting for his moment and waiting for his time, I think, as good as anybody can. And I think the world is going to be shocked by the version of James Winston that they're going to see. Yesterday was awesome. I mean, he threw for five touchdowns, no interceptions. I mean, he's doing his thing. We're talking to Demario Davis,
Starting point is 01:00:56 all-pro linebacker for the New Orleans Saints. He's currently in a bus on his way over to the TCU facility to watch film as they are displaced because of Hurricane Ida through New Orleans. And he's doing work with United Way to raise money for the beautiful people down there at Boston Corner. Go ahead, pal. Yeah, DeMario, Marshawn Lattimore signed a pretty massive contract yesterday after the
Starting point is 01:01:15 game. Did you guys, you know, make him buy you all steak dinners or was it just kind of a congratulations for him? Man, that's one of the toughest guys I've ever had the opportunity to play with. He was pretty banged up. He had
Starting point is 01:01:33 a couple of little deals and for the game, I know he was something going on. It was a possibility he wasn't going to be able to play. I just went to him and told him, I need you in this game. He was like, I got you. When I looked up up he was out there in the game. He had a phenomenal game and I
Starting point is 01:01:57 Know the contract was gonna come through it's the game. We all found out the same time There's nobody more deserving nobody's more than You can have a corner that plays that type of level and can go in the game a single hit and lock eyes up. That's why they get the contracts that they do. It makes a big difference on your defense. Definitely glad it happened to the teammate. Definitely glad that he got what he deserved. It was announced that he was getting surgery last night.
Starting point is 01:02:23 Demario Davis is not a doctor so I'd be out of pocket if I asked him how long until he is back but that should be noted about the Marshawn Lattimore contract Alvin Kamara hey and I know offense steals the headlines or whatever but
Starting point is 01:02:39 that guy might be the best football player on earth he is unbelievable on the field. I thought to myself last night, and I think Jameis obviously knew this as well, if you just give that guy the ball, you're probably going to win a lot of games. In practice, is it full go for Kamara every
Starting point is 01:02:55 single day? Is that iron sharp and iron with the defense as well? Is there any stop? How do you stop that guy? I don't understand how you stop. He can't get tackled. He has more balance than everybody. His vision's incredible. He's explosive, and he catches everything. It seems like he's the guy.
Starting point is 01:03:13 Yeah, certainly I'm glad he's on my team. I'll have to try to figure out how to stop him. But yeah, he's as gifted as they come. Most gifted athlete I've ever been around. I've been around a lot of great athletes. He's just a special human being. That's what you see week in and week out. Your defense, Cam Jordan was feasting.
Starting point is 01:03:37 I mean, it just felt like you guys last year, there was a long time during the season where it was like, hey, the Saints can win it all because their defense is very, very good. You start the season the most dominant performance out of everybody. I can't wait to watch you guys continue to grow, and thank you so much for joining us on your bus ride
Starting point is 01:03:55 in the middle of a busy Monday, pal. Hey, thank you, man. You guys be blessed. Hey, you too. Ladies and gentlemen, all-pro linebacker for the New Orleans Saints, who just won 38-3, and theers and didn't have a first down until fourth quarter. Did pretty okay. Ladies and gentlemen, Demario Davis. Hey, the United Way thing is very cool, by the way.
Starting point is 01:04:14 Him, Cam Jordan, a bunch of players on the team are all pushing it, putting on for New Orleans after that storm comes through. He was saying a lot of good stuff that was very low there at the beginning, but I appreciate the hell out of him. That 38-3, that's dominant performance. I realistically should have thought about that with people being displaced and stuff like that. I didn't really even account for that at all.
Starting point is 01:04:33 I just assumed it's going to be a neutral site game in Jacksonville. A bunch of Packers fans are going to show up. Hindsight, there was no way they were going to lose that game. If you look back to what happened after Katrina, and then you look back to how that team legitimately is connected to the city and to the area, and Sean Payton, I think, is a big part of that, obviously. On top
Starting point is 01:04:52 of everyone writing him off in the offseason, Drew Brees retires, they have to cut all these people to get underneath the cap, then there's the, you know, Sean Payton and Michael Thomas stuff. It seemed like everyone was writing him off, like, I don't know. Bunker mentality. Exactly.
Starting point is 01:05:06 It was a perfect recipe for them to. Hey, Houston Texans, another perfect bunker mentality. Now we're going to find out about the Houston Texans with the next game they played. We're going to find out a lot about Urban Meyer as well with the next game. Let's run through the weekly scores. If you do not recall, the Buccaneers started off week one with a game-winning field goal, 31-29, over an incredible Cowboys team.
Starting point is 01:05:28 And all the games in between, Panthers beat the Jets. Sam Darnold wins by five. The Jets were in that thing until the very, very, very end, though. Their team is going to be a good team at some point. But Zach Wilson is going to get his ass beat, I think, especially with the injury to Makai, which nobody likes. But congrats to the Panthers getting a win in the Sam Darnold era and also having a fake Panther jump through their stadium.
Starting point is 01:05:51 Yeah, man. I loved it. I enjoyed the Panther coming through Bank of America Stadium and everything like that, grabbing the New York Jets banner, clawing the shit out of that thing, and them running that on Twitter. That thing had to be so expensive to create. Remember when you're looking at something like this, it's literally every single movement of that thing.
Starting point is 01:06:11 Everybody is some graphic that is being created. We obviously have it in four 80 P here. The Panthers are not going to be thankful for us running this at all. It is much nicer than it appears right here. It is obviously a real Panther that they created with augmented reality. Absolutely beautiful. My big thing is, did they do this? I mean, it jumps off the
Starting point is 01:06:32 goalpost right up to the top of the stadium, which by the way, a Panther probably could do. That is a personal foul. It was taunting. And it jumps right out of the stadium. They did this all strictly for their Twitter account? They must have. I didn't see it anywhere else. It couldn't be aired anywhere else. For on smackdown we have incredible virtual reality augmented reality mixed reality graphics but that's on tv people are watching it so you see some stuff in
Starting point is 01:06:55 the arena and then on the screen that the tv is watching there's some insane shit some lions and romans like 45 feet tall i mean it mean, it's a fool thing that happens. But you're actually seeing it on TV. For this one, if Carolina isn't running the game, nobody's seeing that except for social media. The fact that they spent that much money to create something that awesome for social media, unless whatever Fox did their pregame hit, if Rappaport or whoever is, the NFL Network standing there or whatever, unless they're standing on there doing a pregame hit,
Starting point is 01:07:26 and that Panther is sitting in the back, you know, in the back, I don't think they did it for anything other than social. And for that, I am thankful, and I fucking love what they're doing over there in Carolina. Yeah, all they had to do was ask Tepper, hey, we're going to need $17 million. We're going to spend a million bucks a week on social media, but this fucking Panther is going to take over.
Starting point is 01:07:45 I mean, it got me. I hammered the Panthers after I saw it. And, by the way, it got me as well. As soon as I saw it, I'm like, what the fuck is this? And then as I was looking at it, all I continued to do is, who saw this? Nobody saw this except for social media. I love it even more. Richest guy in the NFL, right?
Starting point is 01:08:03 Uh-huh. That should be happening, I guess. That's right. He has a gym machine. Hey, thank you, man, for doing that. Thank you. And thank you to that Carolina Panthers social team for putting together an incredible – they're another team that gets it.
Starting point is 01:08:12 Oh, yeah. A lot of the NFC South squads do, by the way, I've learned. And iron sharpens iron. When other teams are doing it, you're kind of expected to do so. Hopefully the Chargers and the Colts and the Panthers and the Saints and everybody else that dominates out there will continue to lift the tides of everybody else. Steelers get a big win in Buffalo, obviously 23-16. Texans beat Urban Meyer and Trevor Lawrence 37-21.
Starting point is 01:08:35 Coach Dave and Tyrod Taylor, they got a massive hit to their salary cap. Incredible distraction all offseason. Come out with a dominant win over Trevor Lawrence and Jacksonville Jaguars. I saw some of this game, not as much as I feel is comfortable to chat about this game. Trevor Lawrence had some good moments, had some terrible moments, right? Yep, yep. Through three touchdowns, through three picks, a couple of his picks, they were basically saying like, hey, he'll learn, like this is the kind of stuff he could do at Clemson,
Starting point is 01:08:59 you can't do it in the NFL. Urban Meyer, obviously, everybody's looking at him, asking him when he's going to leave, how long this is going to take, or whatever. I think Urban Meyer's all in on being a Jaguar. I'm excited to see what they become. That could be a long road, though, if Coach Dave and the boys are beating the hell out of him. But maybe the Texans have full bunker mentality, and they're off and running.
Starting point is 01:09:15 27-24, the Bengals beat the Vikings at home. Game-winning field goal in overtime with five seconds left. Five full quarters. Kirk Cousins, Adam Thielen, and the boys came alive late after a fourth and one stop on the Bengals' 29-yard line. Down 14, scored a touchdown, got hot.
Starting point is 01:09:33 Greg Joseph kicked a 50-some yarder to send it to overtime. Back and forth. Jordan Berry, former punter of the Pittsburgh Steelers, now with the Minnesota Vikings, hit a 63-yard fair catch in overtime. Fucking murdered the ball. Anytime you see a 60-yard fair catch,
Starting point is 01:09:52 think about what that means, okay? That means the ball has to be high enough for long enough that somebody can get under it and force a fair catch. 60-yard fair catches aren't something that happen often, let alone in overtime. Jordan Berry should be celebrated. Ultimately, they lose to Evan McPherson, Jelly Barrow, and the Bengals. Philadelphia Eagles beat the hell out of the Falcons, 32-6.
Starting point is 01:10:11 That could get ugly. Falcons got the Buccaneers this week. Are the Eagles much better than everybody thinks, potentially? 2016, the Chargers go into Washington and get a win. Ryan fits magic, Fitzpatrick. Hip subluxation. Yes. Bingo. Another word for dislocation. He's on IR. Seems like that's Heineke's
Starting point is 01:10:30 team. The Chargers are who we thought they were. They are going to be good. Justin Herbert is a stud. He's throwing balls where only his guys can get, but so is the Washington football team. They're late. They couldn't get a stop. The Chargers basically did a four-minute offense for five and a half minutes. They proclaimed their dominance
Starting point is 01:10:46 over there. Pipes burst, but I think the Washington football team is going to be good. I think this is just an ode to how good the Chargers are going to be, potentially. 38-13, Cardinals beat the dog shit out of the Titans. 33-29, Chiefs beat the Browns in electrifying fashion. 28-16,
Starting point is 01:11:02 the Seahawks literally shit all over the Indianapolis Colts. They're good. So are the Colts. I'm not giving up hope yet. Remember, Phillip Rivers and the Colts last year lost to Joe Turt in the Jacksonville Jaguars. That's right.
Starting point is 01:11:16 Still made it play. Still made it play. Let's go. 41-33, Niners over Lions. That was a 25-point game. The Lions scored late, quick, even got an onside kick. The first onside kick. Congratulations. 38-3. Saints over the Packers. 27-13.
Starting point is 01:11:30 Teddy B in the Broncos over the Giants. Giants are in trouble. Hey, Joe Judge building a new culture. The Giants have stunk for a long time. Danny Dimes, I think there's still a lot of question marks nationally about him. I'm not sure how the Giants feel. That offense is just clustered completely. I don't know if it's the offense of Lions' fault. I don't know That offense is just clustered completely. I don't know if it's the
Starting point is 01:11:45 offense, the Lions' fault. I don't know if it's Jason Garrett's fault. I don't know if it's Danny Dime's fault. Whatever the case, they have not found the ingredients to put a recipe together for a successful offense over there for the Giants for some time. How will that unfold throughout the season? Maybe they'll figure it out. Who knows? Yeah, hopefully Saquon can kind of pick it up. Obviously, it was
Starting point is 01:12:02 his first game back. He only got activated a couple weeks ago, so if he gets a little more comfortable, maybe that'll help their success. But, yeah, they've got to figure it out quick. Today, we're questioned on whether or not Saquon would play. He looked in the videos I saw. It seemed like his legs were churning. Oh, yeah. It seemed like they were moving, didn't run for a lot of yards.
Starting point is 01:12:17 Maybe it's only a matter of time before he gets back in the swing of things. If you're a Giants fan, that's what you're thinking. If you're a Broncos fan, Teddy Bridgewater threw for two touchdowns, had over 100 QBR, whatever. Teddy Bridgewater playing good football, good for the Broncos. 17-16, the Dolphins go into Foxborough and win massively, by the way. Two will look good. Patriots could have won late.
Starting point is 01:12:35 They fumble. Miami Dolphins' defense forces a fumble with three minutes left on their own 10, four minutes left on their own 10 to secure the one-point victory over division rival New England Patriots. Congrats to the Dolphins. And obviously, last night was the Matthew Stafford show, 34-14 over the Chicago Bears. What a weekend. What a time to be alive.
Starting point is 01:12:57 Ladies and gentlemen, joining us now, host of the Man to Man podcast, Everything DB. And now officially a part of the Vanduul family, I believe. Ladies and gentlemen, nine-year NFL vet, Darius Butler. What's up, fellas? Hey, good to see you. Great to have you back. Congrats on the FanDuel deal. We're proud of you, pal.
Starting point is 01:13:16 Hey, man, appreciate you. You know, you played a big part in that. I did send some text messages. I said, hey, you got to figure this out. But you got it done, so congratulations to you. Let's chat about what happened this weekend, pal. What are you thinking? What are some big thoughts?
Starting point is 01:13:30 Who blew your mind? Did a Colts stink, dude? How about the Packers? Are they going to get relegated to double A? Is Urban Meyer's seat already hot after one week? What are your thoughts, Darius Butler, after playing nine years in the NFL at a high level? I mean, I feel like Urban Meyer's seat was hot as soon as he got hired.
Starting point is 01:13:50 But, you know, I mean, the best thing I saw yesterday, that Chandler Jones, man, pay that dude. And, I mean, immediately to go out there and get five sacks, two forced fumbles, I feel like that's my MVP and defensive player of the year right now. Taylor LeJuan, I guess he tried to get to social media and get in front of the slander.
Starting point is 01:14:10 Different little strategy there, but that was phenomenal. Everybody from the NFC West looks great. AFC South, the Houston Texans in the league. They look like they're on their way to the Super Bowl, possibly. I live a lot of shit. My Dolphins. Oh!
Starting point is 01:14:27 Shut up, cut! We're in there, Foxborough. Got to win, man. So, that's a lot of things that went on yesterday, man. I'm just happy to be here, overreacting, every and anything. Darius Butler got drafted to the New England Patriots. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, interesting.
Starting point is 01:14:40 They tried to pay him for a little bit for his fanhood. Yeah, they cut me, too. Yeah. The Dolphins are his heart, obviously. South Florida boy, we appreciate you joining us. Let's talk about some of the things you chatted about right there. Chandler Jones with five sacks in one game. He's on pace to have 85 sacks this season.
Starting point is 01:14:58 Now, that's Astro. It's obviously his 17-game season. It's a little bit different. The money dance at the end there, it feels like with the Colts, with the Titans, there was nothing really with the Packers, there was nothing really able to go because the offensive line couldn't do a
Starting point is 01:15:14 damn thing. Do you think it's like almost a shock factor, like, oh, we're back in football and it might take a little bit, some people might stumble out of the gates, or why do you think D-linemen in Buffalo as well well in some situations have just capitalized and taken advantage in week one of a lot of offensive lines? I mean, I don't know, man.
Starting point is 01:15:31 But, I mean, even in Pittsburgh. I mean, we know Pittsburgh, you know, they've led the league in sacks four years in a row. They're going to get after a passer. You don't have the threat of a run game. You know, it's tough. And obviously Packers, they got ugly here. They're not going to run the ball. Derrick Henry, his first nine carries, I think he had eight yards.
Starting point is 01:15:50 So it starts there. So these guys, which other team am I thinking about? Packers, Colts? No, no, no. I want to get back to this Titans, though, because Taylor LeJuan, I got to get back to this. This is bigger than one guy. This is a whole coaching fiasco. You know,
Starting point is 01:16:06 on Wednesday morning, you go in there at eight o'clock, you put three game records up on the board. You got the defensive game records, offensive and special teams. At 55, I know he was on it. He's been on there for a decade. So if you let a guy get five sacks, two forced fumbles, I mean, that's absolutely crazy. You know, he went out there and earned 25, 28 a year. No chips either. Like, I think that's what everybody was thinking. Tony Dungy. I mean, that's absolutely crazy. He went out there and earned 25, 28 a year. No chips either. I think that's what everybody was thinking. Tony Dungy, I think, said that last night at Football Night in America. He was like, can we get some help for that guy?
Starting point is 01:16:34 They had a boot and didn't even block him on one play. I think their OC came over from Oakland, so I don't know how you keep recycling these guys just giving these jobs, man. But it was, I mean, it's crazy. But, I mean, the offensive line, that's like the DV unit. You saw that blown coverage with the Bears last night.
Starting point is 01:16:51 One guy messed up or a certain guy – No, that wasn't a blown coverage. That wasn't a blown coverage. I saw it. Dan Orlovsky told me that was not a blown coverage, D-Butt. Stafford, use ice. That isn't – but I'm pushing. Dan is a wild boy, man.
Starting point is 01:17:04 Dan is a wild – after that, so this dude texted me. We're going back like 20 minutes back and forth with text messages. He's pulling up old clips. I mean, it was a – I'll give you a little cheat sheet, guys. I don't care if you played the game or not. You never took one snap of football. Anytime you see a clip where the closest defender is about 15 yards away from the receiver,
Starting point is 01:17:25 it's a blown coverage. I don't care what Stafford, McVay, or anybody out there doing. That's a blown coverage. Well, I think his eyes could have led to the blown coverage, right? Like the fact that Orlovsky was like, no, no, same blown coverage, isn't giving Matthew Stafford enough credit for what he was doing. His feet were parallel. I saw him do that.
Starting point is 01:17:44 Shoulders. Eyes. Huh? But, I mean, it wasn't even – it had nothing to do with actually that side of the ball. You know, a little football, a little coverage one-on-one. When you go quarter, quarter, half, the defense actually splits the field in half. So, this side of defense is doing their own thing, and this side of defense is doing their own thing. So, any help from that side would have been bonus.
Starting point is 01:18:04 That nickel, he should have carried a cup all the way to the end zone. He dropped them early. Stafford did a great job finding them and putting the ball on them. Well, that's not what Daryl Orlovsky said. Nope. We're talking Darius Butler, a man who played corner, nickel, safety, everything in the defensive backfield for the Patriots, Panthers, and the Colts. I was lucky to be his teammate.
Starting point is 01:18:24 D-Bud, if you're a fan of one of these teams, it's shit to bed. Just absolutely shit to bed yesterday. How do you, what do you tell them? And from your experience, do you let them know like, hey, things are going to change here. From week one to week two, things are going to change. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:18:37 Some teams won't. Hey, some teams are going to be shit. They are who we thought they were. That's going to happen. But there's a lot of growth that's going to happen, especially in this season. What are your thoughts on things that you've been a part of or you're looking back on
Starting point is 01:18:48 after a bad game to move on to week two? You just got to make corrections, fix it, and move on. A-Rod got up there and said, it's one game. You got 16 games left. If you got a team that's talented like Green Bay, you know you got a chance. You know you'll be good. You'll still be in it
Starting point is 01:19:04 down the stretch. I would say the same thing with the Colts. You know you got a chance. You know you'll be good. You'll still be in it down the stretch. I would say the same thing with the coach. You know, you get Fisher back in there, left tackle. Xavier Rose missed the game. You know, Russell Wilson, that's a phenomenal player. You know, that offensive line, they got to get their shit together collectively. But I think they're talented enough from, you know, the head coach, the quarterback, and everybody in that building.
Starting point is 01:19:22 So if you got a good team, a good roster, you know, the future is bright. If your roster's shitty, and you went out there and played shitty week one, it's going to be a long road ahead. Yeah, because you know, if you have a shitty roster, like, you can't really bank on the players' right to make a play, so you're banking on the coaches to scheme up right,
Starting point is 01:19:40 and we can assume by some of the things we've seen that some of these coaches might not be the season for that. Maybe they'll go to the drawing board in the offseason. We'll see how it goes. Some places were surprising, though. I think I'm just so fascinated because this is Overreaction Monday, and we do peddling overreactions on Mondays during the season.
Starting point is 01:19:59 But it is, the internet is awesome. There was one guy who said, I forget exactly what it was. Basically, trade Dalton to Washington. Get Fields in there. Fire Nagy. Get him out of there. This is all after one. This is one game against the Los Angeles Rams defense.
Starting point is 01:20:15 Yeah, Nagy should give. This was awesome. Mike Dubs. Dubs. Mike Dubs radio. Nagy should give a play call like he did last year. Field starts week two. Bears trade Dalton to Washington.
Starting point is 01:20:24 It's like Mike Dubs. I love Mike Dubs a lot. But the fact last year. Field starts week two. Bears trade Dalton to Washington. It's like Mike Dubs. I love Mike Dubs a lot, but the fact that he was like, no, this is exactly what has to fucking happen after one game. I love that. That's why the NFL is so fantastic. Go ahead, Connor. Yeah, D-Bud, obviously, sweet Dolphins hat, dude. I was wondering what you thought about
Starting point is 01:20:39 McCorkle Jones' performance, especially considering how good the Dolphins' secondary is with X Howard and Byron Jones and now McCourty. Yeah, that's a tough, tough defense to face, you know, week one. Obviously, B-Flow, you know, he's been annoying them forever. He knows that system. He knows what they want to do on offense. And he had them in position to win that game.
Starting point is 01:20:59 You know, it's tough to start in this league as a rookie. I think all three of the starting rookie quarterbacks lost. And he had them right in in the fourth quarter. Running back fumbled it late, and that kind of cost him the game. X Howard picked up the fumble, you know, turnover machine. But McCorkle looked good. He looked good. I would say he looked the best out of the three
Starting point is 01:21:15 guys who started. You know, you had Zach Wilson who struggled against the Panthers, and then Trevor Lawrence, who made some plays but struggled against the Texans. So, I think the future is bright with Matt Jones up there in New England, and they'll be all right. Hey, there's a lot of non-Patriot shit happening up there the last couple years. You hear me?
Starting point is 01:21:33 A lot of non-Patriot shit, D-Butt. Last year we saw Hoyer obviously get sacked and going into half with no timeouts left in field goal range, and it's like that's just one situation, but that's something the Patriots never did. Like, hey, that's not what the Patriots do there was a couple other things this game fumble going in three minutes left in the game four minutes left in the game down one on the 10 yard line I mean you're obviously in field goal range the folklore Nick focus back in there
Starting point is 01:21:57 that ball is going to go in there fumble they lose that game after the game JC Jackson talks shit on Tua after losing it's like there's a lot of things happening in New England. It doesn't normally happen, D-Butt. Yeah, bulletin board material is a big no-no out there. And J.C. Jackson is obviously a very good player. And this is a good team that they're going to see later in the season. So that's usually a no-no. And that fumble, I mean, ball security,
Starting point is 01:22:21 that's the best way to get in the doghouse of the running back or anybody who carries the ball out in New England. So very uncharacteristic of them. But it's football, man. It happened with one of the teams I bet on, too, the Vikings. Dalvin coughed one up late as well, and that game went to overtime, and they lost. So it's happening, especially early in the season. That's a team, that's a coaching staff, and that's a locker room that I'll bet on
Starting point is 01:22:43 to get those things fixed and win a bunch of games this year. Yeah, week one, I guess we shouldn't overreact too much. Speaking of the Vikings-Bengals game, shout out to Evan McPherson. Yeah! Congrats on the game winner in your first ever NFL game. Dude, that's awesome. He was slaughtering footballs. Zach Taylor, fourth and one on your own 29, up 14 the vikings have looked dead yeah hey i agree okay
Starting point is 01:23:11 you can say big you can say big old gut sack but literally it you you pick that up you continue to go you go up 17 or up 21 awesome obviously that is awesome that is what you're looking for but god damn the vikings look. There was nothing happening. All they needed was a little bit of a spark. As soon as that happened, Thielen with a touchdown, bang, we're back in there. And then their kicker, Greg Joseph, slaughters two 50-some yarders and sent that thing to overtime. I mean, it was beautiful. I mean, that game changed immediately upon that call. Cincinnati Bengals, I think, though, if you're part of the Who Day,
Starting point is 01:23:44 you got a chance to see your team go through some adversity there. Jamar Chase took the top off the bucket, by the way, getting through the yips. Catches a deep ball there. So happy for him. I mean, the Bengals look like they had some dogs. The Bengals look like a team team over there, D-Bud.
Starting point is 01:23:59 They got some good players. Obviously, Burrow, he got banged up last year, but he's a great young quarterback. He went up and got chased early where a lot of people thought he should have went in a different direction. But, I mean, that's a one-two punch that could be scary down the stretch. I was happy to see him make all those plays on week one, especially with his comments, in my opinion,
Starting point is 01:24:19 kind of being taken and blown out of proportion. But he went out there and made Jesse Bates. I love him as a safety. And Mixon, you know, he's not talked about a lot. But big win for the Bengals. You know, they held it down on their home turf. And we won. Long season, tough division.
Starting point is 01:24:33 But, you know, good win. Real good win for them. No indoor facility. Go ahead, Ty. Deebo, when you look at the Packers, they shit-can Mike Patton as their defensive coordinator and bring in a guy who really hasn't been successful anywhere else. And you always hear that they have a bunch of these pieces and a bunch of these dudes.
Starting point is 01:24:50 At what point is it possible, though, that maybe the personnel is the issue and it's not necessarily the coaching? Or do you think, no, who they have calling these plays is the real issue here? It's tough. But looking at that personnel, there's no way I can look at that defense and come to that conclusion that their personnel is the issue. So I think part of that yesterday, part of that was the offense not moving the ball. It's a complimentary game.
Starting point is 01:25:17 A-Rod had two turnovers. The offense was just not moving the ball at all. So you got your defense out there all day. In Florida, it's going to be tough in that heat. So Kevin King, I mean, he's giving up big plays, man. Jameis got the ball on short fields all day. So it's tough. It was a tough start for Joe Berry.
Starting point is 01:25:37 But that defense, you know, that front, that secondary, I mean, that's one of my favorite safety standards. You got Alexander out there who's probably a top two or three corner in the league. So I definitely can't put it on personnel. Joe Barry, what's his name, Joe Barry? Yeah. He's got to figure it out and figure it out fast, man. Ty, great way to word that.
Starting point is 01:25:55 We bring in a defense coordinator who has never had success. He made me laugh. We got like two minutes real quick on this last one, D-Butt. We appreciate your brain. Go ahead, Diggs. D-Butt, Steelers got pressure yesterday without blitzing. They blitzed once or twice, depending on who you're getting stats from. How awesome is that for the D-Line to get pressure without blitzing?
Starting point is 01:26:14 I mean, that's everything. You saw that same thing in New Orleans. They were getting after them with three four-man rushes. So that's just, you know, you got more resources on the back end. You had Joe Hagen back who missed that week 14 matchup last year. He's playing on the contract year. You had Sutton who was making some plays, man. That's that number two corner.
Starting point is 01:26:33 Mika's an all-pro. And the big money man up front, you know, he was a one-man record crew. So when you get after that quarterback and keep a guy like Josh Allen, who you know that offense didn't have any run threat, too. So you know they'll be dropping it back, throwing it all game. You can't do that against that Pittsburgh defense, man. So if I'm a Steelers fan, I think Big Ben can still definitely room to tighten up. I mean, that team slept on coming into this year.
Starting point is 01:26:57 I can see them making some noise. First half, offense looked absolutely terrible. Second half, it looked different. New offensive coordinator, same old Ben. Let's see how this whole thing goes. Great defense. D-Butt, we can't thank you enough for joining us. You're the best.
Starting point is 01:27:08 Can't wait to see you next Monday, pal. I appreciate you, fellas. Ladies and gentlemen, Darius Butler. Hey, D-Butt! We have some breaking news that happened during that incredible conversation with our guy, Darius Butler. Man-to-man podcast, everything DB. Ian Rappaport is reporting that the Washington football team quarterback,
Starting point is 01:27:24 whose stadium, by the way, had some busted pipes. Oh, yeah. Jason Wright says, hey, I'm trying to fix the culture. I can't fix all these fucking pipes. All right. Allegedly, it was just rainwater, and they all kind of went on with it. But Rappaport's reporting that the Washington football team quarterback, Ryan Fitzpatrick, did suffer a hip subluxation.
Starting point is 01:27:41 That's a dislocation? Yes, I believe. The MRI confirmed he'll be placed on injured reserve, source said, but no indication yet that it's season ending. Okay, so he goes on to injured reserve. I think they brought that down in like three weeks or two weeks. I forget what it was last season. They're going to roll with it.
Starting point is 01:27:56 Doesn't mean it's season ending like IR used to mean, but it does mean it's Heineken time in Washington. Unless they bring in Cam Newton or somebody else. We shall see how that goes. The hip subluxation is a nightmare to think about. Hey, they said, though, Fitz, you're old. You'll fucking break your hip, dude. That's right.
Starting point is 01:28:14 He's had an incredible run. We hope he's back out there. We absolutely love that guy. So sorry to interrupt, but I want to let you know that if you're not gambling with FanDuel, you're wrong. Okay? FanDuel Sportsbook is available in seven states, I believe at this point, six, seven, eight. You get it. If you're not gambling with Fandle Sportsbook though, you're completely wrong.

Starting point is 01:29:18 Also, there's fantasy on there, daily fantasy, and free-to-play games where you can win money. Shout-out to FanDuel. Shout-out to you. Let's get back to the show. Community we have been able to build as a team here is nothing short of incredible. I think we've gotten shit to trend like five of the last six days, today being hashtag PMS overreaction Monday.
Starting point is 01:29:39 Let's head to the Twitterverse and see what some people were overreacting about to their teams yesterday and things that were popping off. What up the number three overall trend in the United States? We appreciate you all so much. And there were some incredible answers and although I assume we didn't get to see them all, we did try to highlight a couple that we found.
Starting point is 01:29:57 That's pretty funny. Let's go to Michael Anderson at MikeyAndersonTV. And hey, Mikey, when he gets on TV, this guy's fucking good. Oh yeah, lightning rod. Okay, I'll say it. I think Aaron Rodgers is purposely tanking the season as a revenge play to get Goody fired. Hashtag PMS overreaction Monday. Mikey was not the only one that tweeted this, by the way.
Starting point is 01:30:14 A lot of people tweeted. There was a lot of, hey, is he sandbagging out there? There was actually a meme created of Adam Sandler when he was quarterback for the longest yard for the Mean Machine. And then Aaron Rodgers sitting there saying, you know, he threw the game for some money. Aaron's throwing games to get Goody and Mark Murphy out of there. I don't think that's the case at all.
Starting point is 01:30:32 I just think it was an absolute shit fest. But I like the Mike Anderson TVs out there saying, all right, I'll be the hero that everybody wants. Yeah, I was going through these, and I was trying to, like, really think in my head, like, is this an overreaction, or do people legitimately feel this? Alarmingly loud crowd saying this. Yeah, a lot of people. A lot of people
Starting point is 01:30:50 saying that. We'll ask Aaron tomorrow about everybody's thoughts on the internet about that. Let's continue to head around the internet. Let's go to Xavier Hubbell, at Hubbell Xavier. So, that would be upsetting if your name was Xavier Hubbell, but only Hubbell Xavier was available. I bet you he was banking on there being no other Xavier Hubble,
Starting point is 01:31:06 and then there was an Xavier Hubble, and he's like, fuck it. Put the last name first, comma, then first name out there. Shout out to Hubble Xavier. Hashtag PMS overreaction Monday. Big Ben must have logged on to his Brazzers account during halftime because the Bills couldn't touch us.
Starting point is 01:31:21 Da-na-na-na-na. Da-na-na-na-na. They can't touch us. Da-na-na-na-na. Da-na-na-na-na. Da-na-na-na-na. I want two Brazzers at that halftime And I grab my pocket That was crazy That second half looked like a much different football team Ben looked kind of rattled
Starting point is 01:31:37 He didn't look comfortable Four new starters on the O-line It looks like he kind of settled in the second half Much better performance Damn it Tino Told you There was a couple grammatical errors in that tweet I think he kind of settled in the second half much better. Took a load off. Yeah, he did. Damn it, Tito. Told you. There was a couple grammatical errors in that tweet,
Starting point is 01:31:50 but obviously you got to do what you got to do. The words got out there. It made sense. At Ryan Urbe, hashtag PMS overreaction Monday. Dolphins winning the East this year. Hashtag fins up. At Bubba Gumpino, Gumpy, our resident Dolphins fan. This is a Dolphins show.
Starting point is 01:32:03 You guys winning the East. Buffalo Bills look like they don't know what they're doing. Lost the second half against Pittsburgh. Steers doing them Patriots. Lost the ends. Jets. Going to be a long road with that roster, my friend. And it seems we'll be talking like this till the end. Zach Wilson will make some plays, but
Starting point is 01:32:26 all we'll say is it's going to be a long road to the end. Maybe the Dolphins do win the fucking East, huh? Is that the case, Gumpy? Is that how you're feeling right now? Yeah, we're at the top right now. Three-point dogs at home against the Bills
Starting point is 01:32:41 coming up next Sunday. Let's go. The Jets are going to have a long road, by the way. They also just lost Mekhi Becton, their left tackle, for four to six weeks. That was a devastating as he was getting carded out, what he was saying was why? And we were wondering the same thing. I think Zach Wilson was as well. I think that
Starting point is 01:32:57 team, by the way, the culture is all much better than maybe it has been a long time. But I think when Aaron, which we'll have to ask him about if he meant it or not, but when Aaron said, like, when I was talking to Zach, like, hey, that roster's going to take a little bit of time after they just practiced together, was that Aaron observing this and reporting this? Or just understanding, like, there's a reason they had, you know,
Starting point is 01:33:18 top five picks so many times. I think that's probably the case. And I like what they're doing over there. They had a kicker put a ball 68 yards. I love that. Hammond Dole absolutely slaughtered a ball after a knee injury, I guess, a Braden Mann. And Brent Boyer is one of the greatest special teams coordinators in the league.
Starting point is 01:33:30 He had a fire department in New York had on yesterday. And Bob Sala, I love his energy. But I just think that's going to be a long one over there. And if Buffalo and New England are going to play this way, I mean, maybe it is Dolphins time. Hey, maybe we're going down 305. Another cocaine Cowboys documentary has come out. Maybe Miami's thriving more
Starting point is 01:33:46 than any. Everybody's moving to Miami. Yep. People are partying in Miami again as if it was like, you know, back in the day when Miami was the destination spot. The Dolphins are winning. Hey, let's go 305. Let's go Miami. Are you clapping, Connor? You agree? I'm doing a
Starting point is 01:34:01 nice little slow clap because we'll see them in the end. It's going to come down to that week 18 for the pass. I don't know. The Dolphins might be at the top still, but I know that at the end of the season, it's probably going to be, hey, we've got to win this, and then we're in. But if not. Big shout-out to Ryan Irby. Hashtag PMS overreaction.
Starting point is 01:34:16 Monday's here. Trended in, I think, four minutes. We appreciate you all so much. At Jesse Fredrickson, at JFred underscore 33. He used to run a ball for a football team. He played for it. Hit number 3-3. And hey, when that 3-3 was hitting the hole,
Starting point is 01:34:29 or when 3-3 was scraping over top of the linebacker position. Hey, Jesse Fredrickson did not fuck around on football field. Jesse Fredrickson says, Pat, I don't want to overreact, but the teams that are the NFC best are all going to be a problem for Tampa Bay. Murderers Row won 4-0 yesterday, and none of them were even challenged. Hashtag PMS over Reaction Monday. Seahawks blew out the Colts.
Starting point is 01:34:52 Now there's points left on the board, but I think Russell Wilson, if he needed to, he could have won again if he had to. Obviously, everything that happened with the Cardinals and the Titans has led us to believe, holy hell, what the Rams did to the Bears, and then the Niners, they ended up only winning by eight, but they were up 20-some. That team set.
Starting point is 01:35:10 Yeah. That team set that the NFC West has been cooking for a couple years now, right? The talent has been built. It feels like all the organizations and franchises have done like, hey, we're going to go all in here. And they're all iron sharpening iron, right? It's just like the Houston Texans when Peyton Manning was Indianapolis Colts. They were building their team strictly to beat the Indianapolis Colts. And everybody's team got better, but nobody really knew about it
Starting point is 01:35:34 because it was like the Colts division. AFC East, same type of shit, but it was the Patriots division. Even though teams would win against other divisions and everything like that, this is the Patriots division. It's going to happen right now in the AFC West with the Chargers. I'm sorry, with the Chiefs, but the Chargers, incredible football team. It's happening right now there. This
Starting point is 01:35:51 NFC West, everybody has had to up their game because if you're an owner, if you're a GM out there, it's like, hey, everybody else is getting better but us. Are we just going to get shit on for the next 10 years? It almost forces everybody's hand. I love the murderer's row. I love the NFC best, and this is going to make
Starting point is 01:36:08 the four o'clock slate awesome all year, and I'm very thankful for all of them. I don't love what Seattle did to the Colts yesterday, but I do like for the rest of the year that that is going to be a hell of a watch, I think, for everybody. Is there any thought that those teams just might end up killing each other and that by the end of the season, they're
Starting point is 01:36:23 going to be so worn out that when they do end up making it to the playoffs, inevitably three or four of them, that they might be a little banged up. So you go to 17 games, you add an extra non-division game. Yeah. Okay, so there is a chance, right, that their records,
Starting point is 01:36:35 I think there's some sort of thing that three of them can make it in. Oh, yeah. Now, you'd have to have the leader, obviously, but it would be very difficult. But somebody's going to have to lose unless they just tie. What if they all just tie? Every division game.
Starting point is 01:36:49 Every division game. Oh, man. They all just tie. Hey, listen, we put a lot of money into all this. Cronky's like, I just built a $9 billion stadium. SoFi Stadium looked beautiful, by the way. Oh, yeah. So nice.
Starting point is 01:37:00 Sean McVay afterwards, by the way, with the ball goes, built this with his money. Right? Almost like they're saying, Chargers, hey, you kind of like co-signing in this thing, Kroenke ended up doing that. But, I mean, that NFC West is awesome. Let's continue to hit the internet streets with hashtag PMS overreaction Monday. At Sergeant Moe, at Sneakerhead Dad. This guy does have children.
Starting point is 01:37:20 He has procreated. Congrats on fornicating and successfully completing his seed pass to an egg uh receiver and also still not giving up the love of sneakers yeah all right hey listen we have a baby we can find money for other shit i'm still getting my shoes i'm sneaker head dad sergeant mo love sergeant mo i aspire to be like sergeant mo someday hashtag pms over reaction money uh monday nick sirni, coach of the year candidate. Love to hear his acceptance speech live. The Philadelphia Eagles beat the dog shit out of the Atlanta Falcons. Man.
Starting point is 01:37:56 Kyle Pitts had four receptions or something like that. He's probably going to be a good football player. Okay, we said that. Matt Ryan looked lost out there. Jalen Hurts was fucking balling. Nick Sirianni, he might play rock, paper, scissors with the guys. He might shoot hoops with the guys. He might show them clips of, instead of Joey fucking Chestnut,
Starting point is 01:38:15 showing them clips of... Taka, Iru, Kobayashi. Kobayashi. There might be a lot of interesting things that come out of Sirianni's mouth. Yeah, them boys ready to go. Week one, Jalen Hurts looked like a baller. The Falcons looked terrible. Coach, Sirianni, did you know this is what the team was going to look like?
Starting point is 01:38:32 And at this moment, are you feeling a little bit like a stooge, or do you feel pretty good about everything that's going on, you in particular, Coach? Not at all, because what I did is I slow played my hand leading up to this game. I talked to a team last night. I said, this is all about logistics. And what I mean by that is I am a big UPS guy. What can Brown do for you?
Starting point is 01:38:52 I don't know if many of you know this. The Atlanta Falcons head coach's dad founded FedEx. I fucking hate FedEx. This is about logistics. I told Jalen, this is logistics. We're trying to get the football from point A to point B, point B being the end zone. We're going to do it efficiently. We're going to do it effectively.
Starting point is 01:39:10 And we're going to win this football game. So all the stuff leading up to this, I knew what we had in store. I knew what the Falcons were going to expect. Football is a logistics game. It's all about logistics. And I've always been a UPS guy. So I had a little chip on my shoulder. I said, you know what?
Starting point is 01:39:26 This guy comes from the nutsack of someone who created FedEx, and I fucking hate FedEx. What can Brian do for you? What's he going to do next week, I wonder? Is he going to be able to inspire the team next week? I wonder, without this deep of a hatred for somebody, something related to the head coach of the other team, will he be able to repeat it?
Starting point is 01:39:44 I hope so. He was incredible to watch that Philadelphia Eagles team. It's a new era over there. It's the Sirianni area. It's a beautiful thing. What's up, Diggs? Do you care if I ask a question? Please.
Starting point is 01:39:52 Coach, why do you use a carpenter's pencil in your hat versus just a normal pencil or a pen? Well, because you need the thicker lead. You're going to go through adversity in the game. You're going to break the lead a couple times. It's very possible. Early, the Falcons looked good. They came out.
Starting point is 01:40:10 They went right down the field. They shoved it right down our throats. But then after that, you snap that lead off, and you get that extra piece of thick lead. And guess what? You turn the page. Coach, you're a big plastic fork break while you're using it. Yeah, and sometimes you're going to get stuff fly on you and you're going to look like a doofus and you're going to have to
Starting point is 01:40:28 deal with that but I'll tell you what that thick lead that's what our football team's all about resiliency toughness and always responding when you need to compete anytime I see this thick lead I just think oh blueprints are being yeah they're drawing out they're drawing
Starting point is 01:40:44 out very loose on the blue line thing. That's unbelievable. I do love Sirianni. I think I love him mostly because this is my exact thing. But if this guy is going to win a bunch of games, let's go. MC Dacey's going to put them boys in a fight. But Sirianni's going to have some actual meaningful press conferences that everybody's going to see and hear, and I can't wait for it.
Starting point is 01:41:03 He is a deep-thinking dude. Oh, yeah. I don't think that – I hope that is what this show has done. I mean, you probably burned a bridge with this guy. But he is a deep-thinking guy, I think. And if this team can respond to it, who knows where they can go. Maybe all the way to the top. Maybe Philadelphia Eagles are a problem out there.
Starting point is 01:41:18 Did the Colts miss Sirianni yesterday? I'll tell you what. We did miss a big son of a bitch that they were calling Godzilla in Japan. And that's Anthony fucking Costanzo. That was evident. Probably could have went after Orlando Brown Jr.
Starting point is 01:41:36 if you really look back to the offseason. I guess he didn't have his greatest game, but imagine putting his ass right next to Quentin Nelson, right next to Ryan Kelly. I assume that they would maybe... I don't know. Quentin Nelson also – I still got the utmost faith in Quentin Nelson. Absolutely. Okay, I think he had a good game.
Starting point is 01:41:53 I'm assuming he had a good game. He's Quentin Nelson. If not, he just had foot surgery a week and a half ago. However. Give this guy another week or so. But, yeah, there's been a couple free agents that are maybe available. We could have brought in there. But we don't do that.
Starting point is 01:42:03 We build from within. We're going to win. Hey, everybody's turning on the Colts. Not me. Not you. Not you. Well, and Orlando Brown was going up against Miles Garrett and Clowney. And you tweeted a couple times. They were just... Hey, see you there. So I got a chance to watch
Starting point is 01:42:15 Dwight Freeney and Robert Mathis. Okay? They literally... Hey, I think it was 93-98 or 98-93, Bring the Heat Boulevard. Okay, it's actually what they called it. And it was a street, obviously, that went straight from where they were right to the sternum of said quarterback. And they were trying to meet each other at the court.
Starting point is 01:42:35 That was literally what they were trying to do. Because if you do that, guess what? That ball is coming out, all right? And who knows who they're going to give the sack to, but they were trying to compete with each other there. It was a beautiful thing. I got to watch the tail end of it. Anytime there was a big third down
Starting point is 01:42:47 or if it was fourth quarter, they're trying to either catch up or something and it's fourth and 10. Anytime there was an obvious passing situation that the other team needed, it felt like it was a guarantee that Freeny and Mathis, somebody was going to get there. If not, both of them were going to be racing for the sack.
Starting point is 01:43:06 If that's what Clowney and Garrett are going to do to each other this year, those are some fucking freaks, dude. Yeah. Those are some freaks. Miles Garrett, well, he's dunking, doing windmill dunks in the offseason. Clowney was the original, like, oh, that human right there is much different than all. He can jump faster than you. He can run faster than you. He's much faster than you. He can run faster than you.
Starting point is 01:43:26 He's much taller than you. He's much stronger than you are. He seems to be smarter than you. And everything about him. And Miles Garrett, aside from when he decided to take old Rudolph's helmet off and hit him in the head with his own helmet and potentially decapitate him with one swing of the helmet, that situation, if those two are just playing their best football,
Starting point is 01:43:47 there's not a lot that anybody, any tackles can do because you can only chip so much. You can only chip so much. You can only slide a tight end over to that side to get a chip before getting off the line or offset a running back to hit that before he gets out because when you've got two guys, that's a problem. Steelers got it too, T.J. Watt and Melvin Ingram. Then you've got Cam Hayward right up the gut picking people up
Starting point is 01:44:06 doing 10 quarterback pressures. A great D-line is impossible to fucking stop, especially with this modern offense right now. There's some teams I think we don't like to overreact on Overreaction Monday. No, no. But if your team has a D-line, I think you should be very excited. Like, okay, the NFL, what it's turning into, 58 passes for some quarterbacks 50 some for
Starting point is 01:44:26 other quarterbacks 50 some for other quarterbacks it feels like it's becoming a rather pass happy league even more so than it already was before because the new you know spread and move and run the space you can use the offenses and rules are almost calling for more passes you'd be a fool not to throw the ball more option and they even have an extension of the run game as another pass in there. If you have a disrupting defensive line, I think it was very apparent yesterday, if you do or don't,
Starting point is 01:44:52 you've got to be feeling very good. That's why the Cardinals are over there. Yeah. The Rams also got it too. The Seattle Seahawks fucking did so much damage to the Colts. I guess that's just standard over there in the NFC West. But I think that's one of the first indicators we should be looking at on who's going to make a run, who's going to freak nasty
Starting point is 01:45:07 defensive line. And on that play where they met each other, Romo in his only good moment of the game pointed out that Mahomes sets up like 13 yards deep on third down, and they just basically met at that point. Yeah, and by the way, he sets up at that point because he is a video game. He literally runs backwards full speed. was Zach Wilson had one yesterday yeah you know what he was sprinting backwards full speed and I saw his combine throw that he made off and it was just a screen pass but he was running backwards full speed sidearm around a guy and it was just like on a rope it's like oh that's that arm talent that people talk about like hey this dude's arm is live like this is a live a live arm. That whole Patrick Mahomes, I'm going to run 30 yards backwards
Starting point is 01:45:46 to throw the ball 70 yards forward to pick up a 35-yard... I mean, it's just... It's genius. It's fucking unbelievable. I don't know how you stop it. Because if he can get away for long enough, Tyreek Hill is fastest dude in the league.
Starting point is 01:45:59 Okay, Scotty Miller says, I've got something to say about that. But, I mean, I think at this point, it is very well known that Tyreek Hill is one of the fastest humans to ever walk this earth, I think. I've got something to say about that. But, I mean, I think at this point it is very well known that Tyreek Hill is one of the fastest humans to ever walk this earth, I think. You've got Travis Kelsey, who also probably has a backer on him at any time. If he can delay for long enough, that's why they know. And I wonder if they even say, like, on the sideline, okay, here we go.
Starting point is 01:46:18 Hey, let's play that style where it's just who gives a fuck. All right. You got it. And then Pat's stiff arm. Patrick Mahomes is stiff arming people in the chest while holding the ball and throwing it. And I'm like, why doesn't every other quarterback do this? Why doesn't every other quarterback do this?
Starting point is 01:46:35 And it's like, oh, because Patrick Mahomes is an alien. Yeah. Because Patrick Mahomes is an absolute alien. It seems like it's a rigged game almost when he's out there, especially with the weapons he has and the Andy redraw. They look like they're fucking unbelievable. But if you've got a great defensive line, we can see that they can feast. It can become a problem for anybody, including Pachamonis.
Starting point is 01:46:53 Yeah, Mike, that Browns team, it's like the old Colts team. They get up early, and then they force the other team to have to throw the ball for the next three quarters. Garrett and Clowney can go and eat like they did yesterday. That was exactly what that's basically what Bill Pullian was doing. Bill Pullian built the offense and was like, alright, we're going to build this thing
Starting point is 01:47:12 for a lead and then what do we need on defense? Okay, so we need two great pass rushers. We need a safety that can tackle in the box and fly around because there's going to be a lot of balls coming out there. And then we want a lot of games there. If anybody gets hurt, there's not a lot of balls coming out there. And then, you know, we won a lot of games there. If anybody gets hurt, there's not a lot of depth
Starting point is 01:47:27 because you're very top-heavy or whatever. Can't thank you enough for allowing us to be a part of your day-to-day. Honestly, legitimately, incredibly thankful for it.
