1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,360
All right, all right, all right, all right, all right folks

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:10,240
We are in the thick of things when it comes to football. Okay, Monday night football happened last night

3
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:13,160
We got a lot to talk. Well, we really don't have a whole lot to talk about

4
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:17,800
But there is something that we do need to address we need to address the elephant in the room

5
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:22,960
And who is that elephant in the room folks Joe Burrow? Yeah. Yeah, Bangles fans

6
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:28,720
You're not gonna like this episode, but guess what you're gonna enjoy it because it needs to be said

7
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:37,360
It needs to be addressed. Okay, Andy. Don't and look like he had his swagger back. Okay, to a gets put on IR

8
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:40,960
I know that's probably old information, but we didn't talk about it last last week

9
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:47,280
But we have to talk about this week. Shador was a magician on the field. That's right. Hocus Pocus

10
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:57,040
Here they're everywhere won the game. Okay, Justin Fields continues to win the Jets fly off with the W Lamar finally

11
00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:05,120
Gets a W Malik Willis gets his revenge and we're gonna do a new segment over reactions for the week

12
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:11,640
All of this and more. Okay on the 35th episode of the football junkies podcast

13
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:21,040
I am your host. Okay, you're chief your great poob. Ah your back road diamonds. Okay chief head of the table chief

14
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:30,880
Bag meteorologist. Okay. I am all of these things and more and I am a former GM who still is not on a team right now

15
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:35,200
But best believe I will be on one very very very soon

16
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:42,440
I'm all these things and more but the most important title that I love the most. I'm your host

17
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:47,120
Kale you already know what I'm getting ready to say. It's been a while. I know I get it

18
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:52,920
But guess what we have to do it. Okay on three one two three. Let's lock in

19
00:01:52,920 --> 00:02:01,720
All right folks, let's just get into the meat and potatoes of everything that I want to

20
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:07,420
Do here. So please follow me around to get away from it you're on an earth that so many feudisms!

21
00:02:07,420 --> 00:02:24,820
All right folks, let's just get into the meat and potatoes of everything that has gone so

22
00:02:24,820 --> 00:02:25,820
far.

23
00:02:25,820 --> 00:02:31,420
Okay, I wasn't going to do anything about Monday night football, but you know what?

24
00:02:31,420 --> 00:02:38,940
That's because of how they lost in the team, in the noise that they've been making since

25
00:02:38,940 --> 00:02:40,440
the start of this season.

26
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:41,440
I'm going to have to do it.

27
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:45,780
Okay, now this is going to turn into someone of a quick little rant, but it needs to be

28
00:02:45,780 --> 00:02:46,780
said.

29
00:02:46,780 --> 00:02:49,420
Okay, so the Bengals lost last night.

30
00:02:49,420 --> 00:02:53,020
Yeah, the Bengals lost to the commanders last night.

31
00:02:53,020 --> 00:02:58,540
Now, if you would have told me that the Bengals would have lost last night, I probably would

32
00:02:58,540 --> 00:02:59,940
have called you a liar.

33
00:02:59,940 --> 00:03:01,540
I definitely would have.

34
00:03:01,540 --> 00:03:04,820
Jane and Daniels was lighting it up.

35
00:03:04,820 --> 00:03:06,940
Okay, lighting it up.

36
00:03:06,940 --> 00:03:11,160
Every single time they were hiking the ball, every single time that he was dropping back,

37
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:12,660
he was making a play.

38
00:03:12,660 --> 00:03:16,820
Okay, he showed he showed a lot last night.

39
00:03:16,820 --> 00:03:17,820
He really did.

40
00:03:17,820 --> 00:03:22,660
This is if you're a commander's fan, you have to love what you saw last night.

41
00:03:22,660 --> 00:03:29,220
Okay, but I think we need to really get into the nooks and crannies of everything because

42
00:03:29,220 --> 00:03:33,580
honestly speaking here, we need to have a conversation about Joe Burrow, you know, because

43
00:03:33,580 --> 00:03:39,740
I think it's I think it's time that we do so because Joe Burrow Joe Burrow has been

44
00:03:39,740 --> 00:03:40,740
trash.

45
00:03:40,740 --> 00:03:41,740
Absolute trash.

46
00:03:41,740 --> 00:03:47,420
And I say that in the most respectful way I possibly can, he has been absolute trash.

47
00:03:47,420 --> 00:03:52,220
Okay, now I'm going to read these stats off and I want you to just, you know, try to

48
00:03:52,220 --> 00:03:56,420
paint a picture in your head of how you think the game turned out.

49
00:03:56,420 --> 00:03:57,420
Okay.

50
00:03:57,420 --> 00:04:01,700
Jane Daniels was 21 for 23, 254 yards, two touchdowns.

51
00:04:01,700 --> 00:04:06,340
He averaged 11 yards per attempt and a 91.3 completion percentage.

52
00:04:06,340 --> 00:04:13,420
Okay, Joe Burrow was 29 for 38, 324 yards, three touchdowns, 8.5 yards per attempt and

53
00:04:13,420 --> 00:04:16,860
a 76.3 completion percentage.

54
00:04:16,860 --> 00:04:21,300
Now when we look at those stats, you're probably thinking, Oh, Joe Burrow, you know, put had

55
00:04:21,300 --> 00:04:23,340
put up some pretty good numbers and went down.

56
00:04:23,340 --> 00:04:24,340
They probably won the game.

57
00:04:24,340 --> 00:04:25,340
No, they didn't.

58
00:04:25,340 --> 00:04:26,340
Jane Daniels won.

59
00:04:26,340 --> 00:04:31,740
Jane Daniels, now there was a moment in time where it looked like they've the Bengals could

60
00:04:31,740 --> 00:04:34,700
have made a comeback, but they didn't.

61
00:04:34,700 --> 00:04:37,460
They failed once again.

62
00:04:37,460 --> 00:04:42,380
And you know, if you are a Bengals fan, I don't want to hear no excuses.

63
00:04:42,380 --> 00:04:44,020
I don't want to hear any more excuses.

64
00:04:44,020 --> 00:04:45,660
I don't because you know why?

65
00:04:45,660 --> 00:04:50,460
If this is any other quarterback, if this is Lamar, if this is Daniel Jones, if this

66
00:04:50,460 --> 00:04:55,380
is that press guy, if this is Josh Allen, if this is Justin Herbert, if there's if this

67
00:04:55,380 --> 00:05:02,380
is any other quarterback, everyone is is making everyone is saying, Oh, there's no excuses

68
00:05:02,380 --> 00:05:03,660
for their for their play.

69
00:05:03,660 --> 00:05:06,220
There's no excuses for their performance and whatnot.

70
00:05:06,220 --> 00:05:10,740
They are supposed to be, you know, the one that that can, you know, carry the team on

71
00:05:10,740 --> 00:05:13,780
their back and lead them to victory and whatnot.

72
00:05:13,780 --> 00:05:16,340
So why Joe Burrow hasn't done that yet?

73
00:05:16,340 --> 00:05:17,340
Why?

74
00:05:17,340 --> 00:05:20,500
And granted, again, don't want to hear no excuses.

75
00:05:20,500 --> 00:05:24,140
I do not want to hear any excuses because you know why?

76
00:05:24,140 --> 00:05:32,140
This man literally carried a Bengals team who statistically had had the one of the worst

77
00:05:32,140 --> 00:05:40,060
offensive lines in NFL history, carry them to a Super Bowl, almost one such Super Bowl,

78
00:05:40,060 --> 00:05:41,060
right?

79
00:05:41,060 --> 00:05:48,780
And since then, everybody has just been trying to feast on that Super Bowl run when it's

80
00:05:48,780 --> 00:05:49,780
gone.

81
00:05:49,780 --> 00:05:50,780
It's gone.

82
00:05:50,780 --> 00:05:51,780
It's gone.

83
00:05:51,780 --> 00:05:54,380
The confetti has already been been dropped.

84
00:05:54,380 --> 00:05:57,500
The celebrations have already concluded.

85
00:05:57,500 --> 00:06:03,580
The trophies are already in the players offices and, you know, houses of residents and whatever

86
00:06:03,580 --> 00:06:04,580
the case may be.

87
00:06:04,580 --> 00:06:05,580
Okay.

88
00:06:05,580 --> 00:06:10,060
The fact of the matter is since that since that Super Bowl run and since he's gotten,

89
00:06:10,060 --> 00:06:12,940
you know, his deal, he has not shown a whole lot.

90
00:06:12,940 --> 00:06:17,180
He has actually regressed a whole lot if we're being real here.

91
00:06:17,180 --> 00:06:19,940
And that's something that I don't think not a lot of people want to talk about.

92
00:06:19,940 --> 00:06:24,060
If you're getting paid the amount of money that Joe Burroughs getting paid, you need

93
00:06:24,060 --> 00:06:26,540
to step up to the plate.

94
00:06:26,540 --> 00:06:32,780
You need to step up to the plate because the fact of the matter is Jaden Daniels was was

95
00:06:32,780 --> 00:06:34,260
doing his thing.

96
00:06:34,260 --> 00:06:35,260
Okay.

97
00:06:35,260 --> 00:06:36,420
He was doing his thing.

98
00:06:36,420 --> 00:06:43,340
If I'm not mistaken and someone someone can fact check me for for me if they want to,

99
00:06:43,340 --> 00:06:49,100
the commanders never punted the ball yesterday last night, even on fourth down, they were

100
00:06:49,100 --> 00:06:50,700
still going for it.

101
00:06:50,700 --> 00:06:53,860
That's just the mentality that Jaden Daniels have.

102
00:06:53,860 --> 00:06:59,700
And granted, I understand it's still the the season is still, you know, it's still very

103
00:06:59,700 --> 00:07:01,940
early and all those different types of things.

104
00:07:01,940 --> 00:07:04,340
But at some point you have to win a game.

105
00:07:04,340 --> 00:07:05,340
Okay.

106
00:07:05,340 --> 00:07:08,740
You are in the business of football is winning games.

107
00:07:08,740 --> 00:07:09,740
Okay.

108
00:07:09,740 --> 00:07:15,500
Winning games can determine if you get another contract, if you get another opportunity, if

109
00:07:15,500 --> 00:07:19,780
you get, you know, another chance, all those different types of things.

110
00:07:19,780 --> 00:07:24,020
And when you're not winning, that's a stain on you.

111
00:07:24,020 --> 00:07:25,020
Right.

112
00:07:25,020 --> 00:07:33,020
And what you cannot do is continue to have a fan base and to have, you know, media media

113
00:07:33,020 --> 00:07:39,060
personalities that want to try to give Joe Burrough and the Bengals bail when whole time,

114
00:07:39,060 --> 00:07:43,580
if we're being real here, they've been, they've been talking a whole lot of smack this off

115
00:07:43,580 --> 00:07:46,860
season and especially the start of this season.

116
00:07:46,860 --> 00:07:49,460
They've been, they've been, they've been yapping off.

117
00:07:49,460 --> 00:07:54,100
So now that you got punched in the mouth and you've been getting punched in the mouth,

118
00:07:54,100 --> 00:07:56,060
it's time for y'all to step up.

119
00:07:56,060 --> 00:07:57,060
It is.

120
00:07:57,060 --> 00:07:59,460
I don't want to hear any more excuses for Joe Burrough.

121
00:07:59,460 --> 00:08:00,620
I do not.

122
00:08:00,620 --> 00:08:04,300
You got paid, you got paid top dollar.

123
00:08:04,300 --> 00:08:05,300
Okay.

124
00:08:05,300 --> 00:08:08,700
You're, you are tied of being one.

125
00:08:08,700 --> 00:08:12,460
Well, you was being before that press guy got his deal.

126
00:08:12,460 --> 00:08:16,420
Well, you were tied with Trevor Lawrence as being the highest paid quarterbacks.

127
00:08:16,420 --> 00:08:21,480
And since you guys have gotten that deal, you guys have not done Jack Diddley squat.

128
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:25,540
You haven't, you have regressed dramatically.

129
00:08:25,540 --> 00:08:31,220
And if we're being real here, that this team right now for the Bengals, they are not going

130
00:08:31,220 --> 00:08:33,180
to win a whole lot of games.

131
00:08:33,180 --> 00:08:34,680
They are not.

132
00:08:34,680 --> 00:08:40,500
And I don't want to hear, Oh, he might be heard or, Oh, I was dealing with a lingering

133
00:08:40,500 --> 00:08:42,700
injury and whatnot.

134
00:08:42,700 --> 00:08:47,740
Oh, I don't think my wrist was 100% healed, but I still went out there and tried to play

135
00:08:47,740 --> 00:08:51,420
because I care about my teammates and I want to win.

136
00:08:51,420 --> 00:08:53,540
I don't want to hear it.

137
00:08:53,540 --> 00:08:55,660
I don't want to hear it anymore.

138
00:08:55,660 --> 00:09:00,420
The time is now to cut out the excuses for Joe Burrough.

139
00:09:00,420 --> 00:09:01,980
It is over.

140
00:09:01,980 --> 00:09:02,980
It is over.

141
00:09:02,980 --> 00:09:03,980
Okay.

142
00:09:03,980 --> 00:09:10,060
It's time that people have real conversations about Joe Burrough and his performance.

143
00:09:10,060 --> 00:09:11,580
It is lackluster.

144
00:09:11,580 --> 00:09:13,140
It is not good enough.

145
00:09:13,140 --> 00:09:14,660
He needs to do more.

146
00:09:14,660 --> 00:09:16,620
That offense has to do more.

147
00:09:16,620 --> 00:09:23,860
And if we're being real here, if they do not do more heads are going to roll.

148
00:09:23,860 --> 00:09:25,060
Heads are going to roll.

149
00:09:25,060 --> 00:09:26,940
People are going to lose their jobs.

150
00:09:26,940 --> 00:09:32,140
People are going to lose their jobs because since that Super Bowl run, it's starting to

151
00:09:32,140 --> 00:09:34,340
look like a fluke.

152
00:09:34,340 --> 00:09:36,420
Everything it's starting to look like a fluke.

153
00:09:36,420 --> 00:09:39,940
Even when you look on the defensive side, there's not a whole lot on the defense.

154
00:09:39,940 --> 00:09:41,140
It's not.

155
00:09:41,140 --> 00:09:44,700
You have Trey Hendrickson who, honestly speaking, he probably doesn't even want to be there

156
00:09:44,700 --> 00:09:48,060
because he's looking for more money.

157
00:09:48,060 --> 00:09:50,180
He was looking for more money.

158
00:09:50,180 --> 00:09:55,420
He even said during the offseason, if I don't get paid, I'm going to retire.

159
00:09:55,420 --> 00:09:56,420
They still haven't done it.

160
00:09:56,420 --> 00:10:00,860
I don't know why he's still doing it, but I mean, hey, you know, hey, that's, that's,

161
00:10:00,860 --> 00:10:02,740
you know, that's, that's them.

162
00:10:02,740 --> 00:10:09,180
But the fact of the matter is the bangles, you know, are put on this high pedestal by

163
00:10:09,180 --> 00:10:12,180
media personalities and by everybody else.

164
00:10:12,180 --> 00:10:13,180
I don't see it.

165
00:10:13,180 --> 00:10:15,180
I don't see it personally.

166
00:10:15,180 --> 00:10:17,020
And they're in my, I don't see it.

167
00:10:17,020 --> 00:10:19,100
I don't know what average quarterback.

168
00:10:19,100 --> 00:10:20,100
Okay.

169
00:10:20,100 --> 00:10:27,660
How is it that Andy Dalton was able to get a W for the Panthers before the bangles?

170
00:10:27,660 --> 00:10:28,660
How is that?

171
00:10:28,660 --> 00:10:30,300
How is that?

172
00:10:30,300 --> 00:10:35,620
And mind you, the Panthers went up against the Raiders who, if we're being real here,

173
00:10:35,620 --> 00:10:39,660
the Raiders are not a team that you just take lightly for.

174
00:10:39,660 --> 00:10:42,660
They have some pieces on that team.

175
00:10:42,660 --> 00:10:45,820
So I don't understand what's going on with the bangles.

176
00:10:45,820 --> 00:10:47,460
I don't know what's going on with Joe Burrow.

177
00:10:47,460 --> 00:10:51,500
I don't know if it's the, the hair dyed that must have gotten to his brain and whatnot,

178
00:10:51,500 --> 00:10:54,140
but whatever it is, it is not good folks.

179
00:10:54,140 --> 00:10:56,660
It is not good at all.

180
00:10:56,660 --> 00:10:59,380
Now also my soap box.

181
00:10:59,380 --> 00:11:02,500
Let's get into the other stuff that really needs to be talking about needs to be addressed.

182
00:11:02,500 --> 00:11:03,500
Okay.

183
00:11:03,500 --> 00:11:06,100
Andy Dalton looked like Andy Dalton.

184
00:11:06,100 --> 00:11:07,100
Okay.

185
00:11:07,100 --> 00:11:09,220
Andy Dalton put on a show.

186
00:11:09,220 --> 00:11:10,220
He did his thing.

187
00:11:10,220 --> 00:11:16,660
He proved why he, why the Panthers should, should roll with him moving forward, possibly

188
00:11:16,660 --> 00:11:20,260
the, the rest of the season, honestly.

189
00:11:20,260 --> 00:11:24,340
And you know, to, how can I say this?

190
00:11:24,340 --> 00:11:25,340
How can I say this?

191
00:11:25,340 --> 00:11:26,980
How can I say this bingo?

192
00:11:26,980 --> 00:11:27,980
Got it.

193
00:11:27,980 --> 00:11:29,700
Like Bob just came up.

194
00:11:29,700 --> 00:11:34,780
We, we have to give a little bit of, a little bit of grace to Bryce young because Bryce

195
00:11:34,780 --> 00:11:42,260
young was put into a situation where, you know, he, he, there's not a whole lot of growth.

196
00:11:42,260 --> 00:11:43,260
Right.

197
00:11:43,260 --> 00:11:47,380
There's not a lot of opportunities for him to, to, you know, to grab.

198
00:11:47,380 --> 00:11:48,380
Well, you know what?

199
00:11:48,380 --> 00:11:50,500
No, no, I scratch that.

200
00:11:50,500 --> 00:11:51,500
I can't do it.

201
00:11:51,500 --> 00:11:53,220
Andy Dalton did his thing.

202
00:11:53,220 --> 00:11:54,820
Andy Dalton did his thing.

203
00:11:54,820 --> 00:11:55,820
Okay.

204
00:11:55,820 --> 00:11:58,900
Let me, let me just read you the stats, his stat line.

205
00:11:58,900 --> 00:12:02,580
26 for 37, 319 yards, three touchdowns.

206
00:12:02,580 --> 00:12:07,580
He averaged 8.6 yards per attempt and he had a 70.3 completion percentage.

207
00:12:07,580 --> 00:12:08,580
Right.

208
00:12:08,580 --> 00:12:10,740
On top of that, here are some junky nuggets.

209
00:12:10,740 --> 00:12:11,740
Okay.

210
00:12:11,740 --> 00:12:16,260
Chubber Hubbard finished the game with 21 carries for 114 yards.

211
00:12:16,260 --> 00:12:21,300
Deontay finished the game with a reception for 122 yards and one touchdown.

212
00:12:21,300 --> 00:12:28,380
And Andy Dalton's last game that had a similar stat line to this was last year, week three.

213
00:12:28,380 --> 00:12:36,700
You know, that stat line was 34 for 58, 361 yards, two touchdowns, according to NFL pro

214
00:12:36,700 --> 00:12:38,220
shout out to NFL pro.

215
00:12:38,220 --> 00:12:40,220
Now listen, I get it.

216
00:12:40,220 --> 00:12:42,140
Andy Dalton is a veteran.

217
00:12:42,140 --> 00:12:44,780
So he's seen a lot of things.

218
00:12:44,780 --> 00:12:50,060
He himself has somewhat been in somewhat of a similar situation that Bryce Young has been

219
00:12:50,060 --> 00:12:51,060
in.

220
00:12:51,060 --> 00:12:52,060
Right.

221
00:12:52,060 --> 00:12:55,340
Because a lot of times, a lot of those bangles teams, they were not that good.

222
00:12:55,340 --> 00:12:58,340
Now listen, they, they, they were a team that, you know, they can't.

223
00:12:58,340 --> 00:13:01,460
They can, they can give you, they can give you a good whooping.

224
00:13:01,460 --> 00:13:02,460
Okay.

225
00:13:02,460 --> 00:13:07,380
And they can win, but they're not this super dominant team that is, you know, that is going

226
00:13:07,380 --> 00:13:09,500
to strike fear into the hearts of men.

227
00:13:09,500 --> 00:13:11,020
No, that's not what they were.

228
00:13:11,020 --> 00:13:12,020
Okay.

229
00:13:12,020 --> 00:13:16,180
That's just not so Andy Dalton, he's been around the block for, for a while.

230
00:13:16,180 --> 00:13:18,820
So he knows, he knows some things.

231
00:13:18,820 --> 00:13:23,660
He knows how to, how to win with less and all those different types of things.

232
00:13:23,660 --> 00:13:27,860
And he may do with what he had and they won the game.

233
00:13:27,860 --> 00:13:28,860
That's just what it is.

234
00:13:28,860 --> 00:13:29,860
Case in point.

235
00:13:29,860 --> 00:13:35,780
Now, I know there were, I know there, there was an article that came out from, from Adam

236
00:13:35,780 --> 00:13:40,220
Schefter, you know, saying that there were teams that were interested in probably trading

237
00:13:40,220 --> 00:13:46,500
for Bryce Young, unless it's a team like, you know, that, that comes from the, the Shaw

238
00:13:46,500 --> 00:13:50,500
McVay tree or the Kyle Shanahan tree.

239
00:13:50,500 --> 00:13:55,780
And even then I wouldn't trust a whole lot of teams unless it's the Rams directly or

240
00:13:55,780 --> 00:13:57,460
the 49ers directly.

241
00:13:57,460 --> 00:13:59,940
I don't really trust anybody else going after Bryce Young.

242
00:13:59,940 --> 00:14:01,940
Bryce Young is a project.

243
00:14:01,940 --> 00:14:03,440
That is a project.

244
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:10,300
And if you do not have the right coaching, you know, in place, and if you do not have

245
00:14:10,300 --> 00:14:17,060
everything else, an offensive line, some weapons in a good run game, you're going to see the

246
00:14:17,060 --> 00:14:21,500
exact same thing that, that the Panthers saw with Bryce Young.

247
00:14:21,500 --> 00:14:25,740
And granted, Bryce Young didn't, didn't ask to be put in this situation.

248
00:14:25,740 --> 00:14:26,740
He didn't.

249
00:14:26,740 --> 00:14:27,740
He didn't.

250
00:14:27,740 --> 00:14:34,860
You have an incompetent owner who is very sporadic, who is, who was basically somewhat

251
00:14:34,860 --> 00:14:42,620
of, I would say the more, what's the more unstable version of Jerry Jones.

252
00:14:42,620 --> 00:14:45,740
That's the best way to, to, to describe David Tepper.

253
00:14:45,740 --> 00:14:51,260
David Tepper is someone who he, he made a reckless decision.

254
00:14:51,260 --> 00:14:59,460
He made a very reckless decision in choosing to get Bryce Young and not, you know, not

255
00:14:59,460 --> 00:15:04,140
surround him with, with some good talent, good weapons and all those different types

256
00:15:04,140 --> 00:15:05,140
of things.

257
00:15:05,140 --> 00:15:08,100
And, you know, he struggled and then not to mention the coach.

258
00:15:08,100 --> 00:15:15,780
I mean, it's just a, it's a plethora of different things that play a role in the demise of

259
00:15:15,780 --> 00:15:16,780
Bryce Young.

260
00:15:16,780 --> 00:15:22,660
And, you know, it's, that it opens up to a, a bigger conversation.

261
00:15:22,660 --> 00:15:26,300
And quite frankly, you know, I'm not going to be the one to do it because I'm not a

262
00:15:26,300 --> 00:15:27,300
Panthers fan.

263
00:15:27,300 --> 00:15:32,100
And quite frankly, I don't think nobody really cares about the Panthers at this point.

264
00:15:32,100 --> 00:15:33,940
Now, moving on to Tua.

265
00:15:33,940 --> 00:15:35,180
Tua gets put on the IR.

266
00:15:35,180 --> 00:15:40,700
Now, if you don't know what IR, that means that he is going to be out for a minimum,

267
00:15:40,700 --> 00:15:44,500
a minimum of four games, but he can be out longer.

268
00:15:44,500 --> 00:15:48,900
When we look at this, it's, you know, it's definitely the right decision to be made simply

269
00:15:48,900 --> 00:15:53,740
because the Dolphins are in a situation now where they are in limbo.

270
00:15:53,740 --> 00:15:54,740
Okay.

271
00:15:54,740 --> 00:15:59,660
They are trying to figure out exactly what are, what do, what are they going to do moving

272
00:15:59,660 --> 00:16:00,660
forward?

273
00:16:00,660 --> 00:16:01,660
Right.

274
00:16:01,660 --> 00:16:07,500
They are trying to figure out if they are going to continue to move forward with Tua,

275
00:16:07,500 --> 00:16:12,620
or they're going to have to make, you know, a business decision and possibly, you know,

276
00:16:12,620 --> 00:16:14,980
move off of him and then figure something else.

277
00:16:14,980 --> 00:16:15,980
Right.

278
00:16:15,980 --> 00:16:17,860
That's the situation that they're in at this point.

279
00:16:17,860 --> 00:16:22,500
And so basically what they said was, listen, you take the time all you need, see all the

280
00:16:22,500 --> 00:16:26,860
doctors that you need to see, get all the, you know, get all the testing done and all

281
00:16:26,860 --> 00:16:28,340
those different types of things.

282
00:16:28,340 --> 00:16:30,180
So that guess what?

283
00:16:30,180 --> 00:16:34,780
Once we get all the information that we need, we can come down, we can, and we can make a,

284
00:16:34,780 --> 00:16:40,580
um, make a decision on if we want to continue to move forward with you, or if we're going

285
00:16:40,580 --> 00:16:43,980
to suggest that you possibly medically retire.

286
00:16:43,980 --> 00:16:44,980
That's it.

287
00:16:44,980 --> 00:16:45,980
That's it.

288
00:16:45,980 --> 00:16:48,740
That, that's all, that, that's all that needs to be said.

289
00:16:48,740 --> 00:16:52,780
It doesn't need to be, no, oh man, I think he should possibly retire.

290
00:16:52,780 --> 00:16:54,980
Listen, you're not a doctor.

291
00:16:54,980 --> 00:16:56,980
You don't know.

292
00:16:56,980 --> 00:16:57,980
You don't know.

293
00:16:57,980 --> 00:17:00,300
Granted, we've seen a lot of head injuries with him.

294
00:17:00,300 --> 00:17:01,300
Who knows?

295
00:17:01,300 --> 00:17:04,060
Maybe he doesn't have any CTE at all.

296
00:17:04,060 --> 00:17:07,740
Maybe, you know, it really hasn't affected his brain or anything.

297
00:17:07,740 --> 00:17:15,580
But until those reports come out, we all will not, we will, yeah, all of us, especially

298
00:17:15,580 --> 00:17:21,420
football fans and especially, uh, dolphins fans just have to wait and see what happens

299
00:17:21,420 --> 00:17:22,660
at this point.

300
00:17:22,660 --> 00:17:25,460
Now moving on to Justin Fields.

301
00:17:25,460 --> 00:17:26,460
Okay.

302
00:17:26,460 --> 00:17:37,580
Justin Fields, you know, my guy, my guy, my guy, my guy, my guy, my guy, my man, 50 grand,

303
00:17:37,580 --> 00:17:43,060
okay, because you know why the sixth time, six times, you know, I'm not even going to

304
00:17:43,060 --> 00:17:44,060
do it.

305
00:17:44,060 --> 00:17:45,060
I'm not going to do it.

306
00:17:45,060 --> 00:17:47,380
I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not going to do it.

307
00:17:47,380 --> 00:17:50,700
I was actually going to name this episode Victory Monday, but I'm not going to do it.

308
00:17:50,700 --> 00:17:51,700
No, no, no.

309
00:17:51,700 --> 00:17:52,700
We know what I might not.

310
00:17:52,700 --> 00:17:53,700
I still might.

311
00:17:53,700 --> 00:17:54,700
I'm rambling.

312
00:17:54,700 --> 00:17:55,700
Who cares?

313
00:17:55,700 --> 00:17:58,180
Justin Fields has been doing, he's been doing his thing.

314
00:17:58,180 --> 00:18:02,820
Now I'm not saying he's, you know, been lighting up and having three touchdowns and

315
00:18:02,820 --> 00:18:05,540
two touchdowns and saying those different types of things.

316
00:18:05,540 --> 00:18:09,940
But this past, this past Sunday was probably his best game so far.

317
00:18:09,940 --> 00:18:11,380
I probably say so.

318
00:18:11,380 --> 00:18:13,580
He, you know, scored two touchdowns.

319
00:18:13,580 --> 00:18:18,180
He ran one in and then he threw one to Calvin Austin, which was actually really good.

320
00:18:18,180 --> 00:18:21,140
But you know, let, let, let's get off with this, with this stat line though.

321
00:18:21,140 --> 00:18:22,140
Okay.

322
00:18:22,140 --> 00:18:26,380
So Justin Fields was 20, 25 for 32, 245 yards.

323
00:18:26,380 --> 00:18:29,700
They say one touchdown, but technically it was two touchdowns because one of them was

324
00:18:29,700 --> 00:18:31,700
a rushing touchdown.

325
00:18:31,700 --> 00:18:37,900
One interception, he average 7.7 yards per attempt and he had a 78.1 completion percentage.

326
00:18:37,900 --> 00:18:43,660
Now coming into this game, a lot of people like, like myself definitely had a feeling

327
00:18:43,660 --> 00:18:48,540
that this was going to be somewhat of an old school street fight on the field.

328
00:18:48,540 --> 00:18:53,440
This was going to be a very slow pace physical game.

329
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:57,900
This wasn't going to be a high flying, you know, ooze and Oz type of game.

330
00:18:57,900 --> 00:19:03,140
This is going to be an old school type of game where who's run the game is going to,

331
00:19:03,140 --> 00:19:04,700
is going to win.

332
00:19:04,700 --> 00:19:11,500
Who's defensive line and offensive line is going to, you know, to win the time of possession.

333
00:19:11,500 --> 00:19:16,500
And you know, originally, well, not, not originally, but at first it was the chargers.

334
00:19:16,500 --> 00:19:21,340
The chargers were, were doing their thing at first, but then, you know, as, as the,

335
00:19:21,340 --> 00:19:25,780
as the second half, you know, started and whatnot and the Steelers were able to make

336
00:19:25,780 --> 00:19:29,540
adjustments and whatnot, the Steelers did their thing.

337
00:19:29,540 --> 00:19:30,540
They did their thing.

338
00:19:30,540 --> 00:19:32,740
That's, that's just what it is.

339
00:19:32,740 --> 00:19:36,380
It's nothing, you know, super crazy.

340
00:19:36,380 --> 00:19:40,060
It's nothing like, oh man, they were just dominant from a, from the first quarter to

341
00:19:40,060 --> 00:19:42,060
the fourth quarter.

342
00:19:42,060 --> 00:19:43,060
No.

343
00:19:43,060 --> 00:19:44,060
Okay.

344
00:19:44,060 --> 00:19:45,060
They did their thing.

345
00:19:45,060 --> 00:19:46,780
They've been actually doing a pretty good job.

346
00:19:46,780 --> 00:19:51,580
I think the, the only knock with them, we actually know what, no, no, no, I'll say that.

347
00:19:51,580 --> 00:19:53,580
I'll say that for, for, for the overreaction.

348
00:19:53,580 --> 00:19:54,580
Well, you know what?

349
00:19:54,580 --> 00:19:55,580
No, no.

350
00:19:55,580 --> 00:19:56,940
I'll talk about it.

351
00:19:56,940 --> 00:20:02,500
The only thing with the Steelers is they start slow, right?

352
00:20:02,500 --> 00:20:08,500
And sometimes when you start slow, you know, it, it, it just, it can hurt you more than

353
00:20:08,500 --> 00:20:09,500
help you, right?

354
00:20:09,500 --> 00:20:10,500
And I get it.

355
00:20:10,500 --> 00:20:14,940
Not every team, you know, come, you know, start, starts the game guns, blazing, guns,

356
00:20:14,940 --> 00:20:20,220
blazing and whatnot, but you gotta, you gotta have some oomph, right?

357
00:20:20,220 --> 00:20:24,660
Because if you started off early in the game, you, that can, you can ride with that and

358
00:20:24,660 --> 00:20:28,420
you can carry that all the way to the end of the game, right?

359
00:20:28,420 --> 00:20:33,100
Instead of waiting till the second half to make the adjustments and switch up your play

360
00:20:33,100 --> 00:20:37,740
calling game, move this player over here and move that player over there and, you know,

361
00:20:37,740 --> 00:20:41,460
do all those different types of things because there's going to come a time at point where

362
00:20:41,460 --> 00:20:46,820
you won't be able to do those type of things in the second half, right?

363
00:20:46,820 --> 00:20:51,660
And you know, from the outside looking in, because I'm trying not to, I'm not trying

364
00:20:51,660 --> 00:20:54,020
to be a somewhat of a fanboy.

365
00:20:54,020 --> 00:20:58,180
The Steelers got to put more, they have to, they have to be able to go down, they have

366
00:20:58,180 --> 00:21:00,020
to be able to march down the field, right?

367
00:21:00,020 --> 00:21:04,660
They have to be able to dictate the line of scrimmage first.

368
00:21:04,660 --> 00:21:10,980
They have to, because if they don't, you know, things, things look, things look great now,

369
00:21:10,980 --> 00:21:11,980
right?

370
00:21:11,980 --> 00:21:15,060
Because you're not facing a whole lot of competition and whatnot.

371
00:21:15,060 --> 00:21:19,180
But I guarantee you, when that second half of the season starts, you know, you, you,

372
00:21:19,180 --> 00:21:24,060
you got to make sure that the things that you're, that, that you're having problems with now

373
00:21:24,060 --> 00:21:27,940
are not a recurring problem when it comes to that second half of the season.

374
00:21:27,940 --> 00:21:32,500
Because I keep saying it, that second half of the season is going to be a gauntlet.

375
00:21:32,500 --> 00:21:34,740
It is going to be a gauntlet.

376
00:21:34,740 --> 00:21:37,460
It was going to be a storm.

377
00:21:37,460 --> 00:21:38,460
Okay.

378
00:21:38,460 --> 00:21:45,980
It is going to be a 12 round fight, not a boxing match, but a fight because you're going to

379
00:21:45,980 --> 00:21:50,500
have to go up against some of your division rivals and then the chiefs and then the Eagles

380
00:21:50,500 --> 00:21:51,500
and whatnot.

381
00:21:51,500 --> 00:21:55,820
And that's not even counting if any of those teams may make, you know, any crazy trades

382
00:21:55,820 --> 00:21:59,380
and whatnot for somebody, you know, by, by the end of the trade deadline.

383
00:21:59,380 --> 00:22:04,620
So you just have to, you know, clean up, you know, the small things because the small things

384
00:22:04,620 --> 00:22:09,020
can become big things later down the road, right?

385
00:22:09,020 --> 00:22:13,860
And you know, if we can be real here, Justin Fields has been, has been playing, you know,

386
00:22:13,860 --> 00:22:16,180
really good supplemental football.

387
00:22:16,180 --> 00:22:23,140
I feel like they, I feel like they've sort of like put a cap on, on, on what they can

388
00:22:23,140 --> 00:22:24,300
do with Justin Fields.

389
00:22:24,300 --> 00:22:28,780
I feel like they're saving a lot of the dynamic play calling and whatnot for us.

390
00:22:28,780 --> 00:22:35,580
But you know, if, if I'm like Tomlin or, or if I'm Arthur Smith, I'm, I'm just, you know,

391
00:22:35,580 --> 00:22:40,060
redirecting that to Justin Fields because they're playing, you know, you're playing with the

392
00:22:40,060 --> 00:22:43,180
hot hand and the hot hand is Justin Fields.

393
00:22:43,180 --> 00:22:44,980
That's just, that's just what it is.

394
00:22:44,980 --> 00:22:48,780
We don't know the extent of, of this injury with Russell Wilson.

395
00:22:48,780 --> 00:22:53,940
It sounds like it sounds like it's a little bit more severe than what people are saying,

396
00:22:53,940 --> 00:22:58,380
or they're just airing the side of caution because they know that, you know, hamstring

397
00:22:58,380 --> 00:23:02,420
injuries, they're very, they're, they're very hit and miss, right?

398
00:23:02,420 --> 00:23:06,420
You can have one, you know, this week and then you'll be good after two weeks.

399
00:23:06,420 --> 00:23:08,820
And the next thing you know, you re aggravated it.

400
00:23:08,820 --> 00:23:13,260
And it's actually worse than when, than when you originally had it, like so many different

401
00:23:13,260 --> 00:23:14,260
things can happen.

402
00:23:14,260 --> 00:23:15,260
Okay.

403
00:23:15,260 --> 00:23:18,900
And so they just want to air, air the side of caution, which is perfectly fine, you know,

404
00:23:18,900 --> 00:23:25,300
because again, this was a, this was a game where the Steelers were going to be primarily

405
00:23:25,300 --> 00:23:26,300
running the ball.

406
00:23:26,300 --> 00:23:27,940
And that's exactly what they did.

407
00:23:27,940 --> 00:23:34,020
Now when we look at the Chargers side though, they really, they, they really wasn't doing

408
00:23:34,020 --> 00:23:35,020
a whole lot.

409
00:23:35,020 --> 00:23:39,420
JK Dobbins had 50, had 15 attempts from 44 yards.

410
00:23:39,420 --> 00:23:43,420
He averaged 2.9 rushing yards per carry.

411
00:23:43,420 --> 00:23:44,780
That's not good.

412
00:23:44,780 --> 00:23:49,740
And that's mind you that that's coming off of the two monster games that, that they had

413
00:23:49,740 --> 00:23:50,780
not too long ago.

414
00:23:50,780 --> 00:23:55,580
So, you know, they, they just, it was like two Rams.

415
00:23:55,580 --> 00:23:56,580
Okay.

416
00:23:56,580 --> 00:24:00,620
If you've ever seen, you know, the, the National Geographic or Animal Planning when they go

417
00:24:00,620 --> 00:24:05,140
in a while and they see, you know, two Rams just butting heads and to see who, who's going

418
00:24:05,140 --> 00:24:06,820
to, who's going to be the last one standing.

419
00:24:06,820 --> 00:24:08,620
That's basically what it was.

420
00:24:08,620 --> 00:24:14,600
And you know, the, the Steelers started to chip away and chip away and chip away and

421
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:17,420
chip away until they finally got them.

422
00:24:17,420 --> 00:24:20,620
And once they finally got them, they just went for it.

423
00:24:20,620 --> 00:24:21,860
And they never look back.

424
00:24:21,860 --> 00:24:26,100
And then, you know, unfortunately you have Justin Herbert to re aggravate his ankle

425
00:24:26,100 --> 00:24:27,100
and whatnot.

426
00:24:27,100 --> 00:24:31,300
All in all, yes, you can celebrate it as a victory, but at the same time we have to air

427
00:24:31,300 --> 00:24:34,700
the side of caution because again, we have seen this before.

428
00:24:34,700 --> 00:24:39,620
We have seen it where, you know, in 2020 we were undefeated and whatnot.

429
00:24:39,620 --> 00:24:41,460
Oh man, everything's going great.

430
00:24:41,460 --> 00:24:42,460
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

431
00:24:42,460 --> 00:24:44,060
And the next thing you know, guess what happens?

432
00:24:44,060 --> 00:24:45,060
We joke.

433
00:24:45,060 --> 00:24:47,740
Joke against the Browns.

434
00:24:47,740 --> 00:24:49,740
Let's all relax.

435
00:24:49,740 --> 00:24:53,780
R E L A X relax.

436
00:24:53,780 --> 00:24:55,980
Let's just calm down for a bit.

437
00:24:55,980 --> 00:24:59,860
Let's celebrate the victories, but at the same time, let's also be mindful of who we

438
00:24:59,860 --> 00:25:01,500
are going up against.

439
00:25:01,500 --> 00:25:02,500
Okay.

440
00:25:02,500 --> 00:25:03,500
Cool.

441
00:25:03,500 --> 00:25:04,500
Thank you, Steelers fans.

442
00:25:04,500 --> 00:25:07,340
Now moving on to Shador.

443
00:25:07,340 --> 00:25:08,340
Okay.

444
00:25:08,340 --> 00:25:12,460
Shador, Shador, Shador was being a magician.

445
00:25:12,460 --> 00:25:13,460
Okay.

446
00:25:13,460 --> 00:25:14,460
He was being a true magician.

447
00:25:14,460 --> 00:25:16,820
He was being, he was doing his thing.

448
00:25:16,820 --> 00:25:17,820
He really was.

449
00:25:17,820 --> 00:25:18,820
Okay.

450
00:25:18,820 --> 00:25:20,340
Let's, let's just get into these stats.

451
00:25:20,340 --> 00:25:21,340
Okay.

452
00:25:21,340 --> 00:25:24,540
Two, he was 25 to 41, 341 yards.

453
00:25:24,540 --> 00:25:27,100
He had a 61% completion rate.

454
00:25:27,100 --> 00:25:30,500
He averaged 8.3 yards per attempt and he had two touchdowns.

455
00:25:30,500 --> 00:25:32,620
That's actually pretty good, right?

456
00:25:32,620 --> 00:25:39,540
Compared to the other two quarterbacks on Baylor's team, Sawyer Robertson was 32 for

457
00:25:39,540 --> 00:25:47,620
50 for 463 yards, a 64 completion percentage, 9.3 yards per attempt, three touchdowns.

458
00:25:47,620 --> 00:25:58,020
DeKwon Finn was 23 for 43, 307 yards, a 53.5 completion percentage, 7.1 yards per attempt,

459
00:25:58,020 --> 00:25:59,700
three touchdowns, two picks.

460
00:25:59,700 --> 00:26:06,540
Now when we look at this, you know, Shador, Shador and that offense, you know, they're,

461
00:26:06,540 --> 00:26:07,540
they're doing their thing.

462
00:26:07,540 --> 00:26:10,700
They're starting to, they're starting to find a rhythm, which is great.

463
00:26:10,700 --> 00:26:16,420
But I feel like they should start to really like rely more on the run because I think

464
00:26:16,420 --> 00:26:21,700
if they rely more on the run, I think it would open things up a little bit more while at

465
00:26:21,700 --> 00:26:26,580
the same time, you know, wear down a defense because at some point the defensive line is

466
00:26:26,580 --> 00:26:27,580
going to get tired.

467
00:26:27,580 --> 00:26:30,380
And when they get tired, that's when you attack.

468
00:26:30,380 --> 00:26:38,020
That's when you go all out and you make sure that you don't leave no stone unturned.

469
00:26:38,020 --> 00:26:42,260
And you know, Colorado, Colorado is going to be Colorado.

470
00:26:42,260 --> 00:26:43,260
Okay.

471
00:26:43,260 --> 00:26:44,260
They're going to have their highs.

472
00:26:44,260 --> 00:26:45,260
They're going to have their lows.

473
00:26:45,260 --> 00:26:49,380
They're going to have their in-betweens, but all in all, it's going to be a team that

474
00:26:49,380 --> 00:26:51,260
everybody's going to want to watch.

475
00:26:51,260 --> 00:26:52,340
That's just who they are.

476
00:26:52,340 --> 00:26:54,060
That's just their identity.

477
00:26:54,060 --> 00:26:55,460
It's not going to change.

478
00:26:55,460 --> 00:26:56,460
Okay.

479
00:26:56,460 --> 00:27:00,220
Now if Shador continues to, you know, put the numbers that he's putting and he continues

480
00:27:00,220 --> 00:27:05,580
to do dynamic things, then there could be a case where he could possibly, you know, when,

481
00:27:05,580 --> 00:27:12,260
when the highs men and whatnot, but you know, I just, I, it's still early, you know, just

482
00:27:12,260 --> 00:27:15,380
got to wait and see what happens and whatnot.

483
00:27:15,380 --> 00:27:18,860
And, you know, hopefully, hopefully they, they make it to the playoffs and whatnot.

484
00:27:18,860 --> 00:27:23,340
So it's a, it's still a wait and see situation for them as well.

485
00:27:23,340 --> 00:27:24,940
Now moving forward.

486
00:27:24,940 --> 00:27:25,940
Okay.

487
00:27:25,940 --> 00:27:26,940
We got to talk.

488
00:27:26,940 --> 00:27:27,940
What have you been doing?

489
00:27:27,940 --> 00:27:28,940
Want to talk about the jet?

490
00:27:28,940 --> 00:27:29,940
We want to talk about Lamar.

491
00:27:29,940 --> 00:27:30,940
Let's talk about the jets first.

492
00:27:30,940 --> 00:27:34,380
Then, then we get into the, the, the greatness.

493
00:27:34,380 --> 00:27:35,380
Okay.

494
00:27:35,380 --> 00:27:38,780
The greatness of the Cowboys losing this weekend.

495
00:27:38,780 --> 00:27:39,780
Okay.

496
00:27:39,780 --> 00:27:50,900
The jets went up against the Patriots on Thursday and it was a, it was a beating.

497
00:27:50,900 --> 00:27:52,900
It was a beating.

498
00:27:52,900 --> 00:27:53,900
Okay.

499
00:27:53,900 --> 00:27:59,340
It looked like, it looked like Jacoby Berset was getting jumped every single time that he

500
00:27:59,340 --> 00:28:01,180
was hiking the ball.

501
00:28:01,180 --> 00:28:09,740
Big bloody bill from up the hill did not do anything to help this Patriots offense.

502
00:28:09,740 --> 00:28:10,900
Oh my God.

503
00:28:10,900 --> 00:28:11,900
This is horrible.

504
00:28:11,900 --> 00:28:19,180
This is absolutely, Jacoby Berset was getting beat up, beat up by that, by that Jets defensive

505
00:28:19,180 --> 00:28:21,300
line and they couldn't do anything about it.

506
00:28:21,300 --> 00:28:22,820
They couldn't stop it.

507
00:28:22,820 --> 00:28:24,060
They could not stop it.

508
00:28:24,060 --> 00:28:25,060
Not one bit.

509
00:28:25,060 --> 00:28:32,540
So, you know, if, if I am a Patriots fan and if I am the Patriots, you know, GM, I would

510
00:28:32,540 --> 00:28:39,420
probably go after, you know, somebody from LSU, Low Campbell and I probably would, you

511
00:28:39,420 --> 00:28:45,660
know, draft that and let that be my top pick at this point because you need to invest into

512
00:28:45,660 --> 00:28:47,380
the offensive line.

513
00:28:47,380 --> 00:28:48,380
It's time.

514
00:28:48,380 --> 00:28:50,900
It's time for you to invest into the offensive line.

515
00:28:50,900 --> 00:28:56,220
It's time for you to bring in some real productive offensive line and players and not just get

516
00:28:56,220 --> 00:29:00,940
people, you know, from just here, there, everywhere and then try to put it together and make it

517
00:29:00,940 --> 00:29:04,300
say, oh, this is a good offensive line and whatnot.

518
00:29:04,300 --> 00:29:09,620
No, it's time for you to invest some real money, real draft picks and whatever else

519
00:29:09,620 --> 00:29:15,540
you need to into this offensive line because Drake may pretty soon is going to be starting

520
00:29:15,540 --> 00:29:19,780
and you know, he's going to need, he's going to need to be protected.

521
00:29:19,780 --> 00:29:22,380
If he's not protected, he's not going to last long.

522
00:29:22,380 --> 00:29:25,860
He's going to take a beating and you do not want that.

523
00:29:25,860 --> 00:29:30,660
Now, on the other hand for Aaron Rodgers, Aaron Rodgers was actually looking pretty,

524
00:29:30,660 --> 00:29:31,660
pretty good.

525
00:29:31,660 --> 00:29:32,660
He was.

526
00:29:32,660 --> 00:29:37,380
I'm not saying he looked like his old self for, oh, this looks like something great.

527
00:29:37,380 --> 00:29:38,740
No, I'm not doing that.

528
00:29:38,740 --> 00:29:40,340
Let's pump the brakes.

529
00:29:40,340 --> 00:29:41,900
Let's relax.

530
00:29:41,900 --> 00:29:43,460
Let's calm down.

531
00:29:43,460 --> 00:29:44,660
Let's take a breather.

532
00:29:44,660 --> 00:29:45,660
Let's drink our water.

533
00:29:45,660 --> 00:29:46,660
Okay.

534
00:29:46,660 --> 00:29:47,660
Let's just relax.

535
00:29:47,660 --> 00:29:48,660
Okay.

536
00:29:48,660 --> 00:29:51,780
The Jets run game looks really lethal.

537
00:29:51,780 --> 00:29:52,780
Okay.

538
00:29:52,780 --> 00:29:58,700
That too, that that too handed, not too handy, but that two headed monster and Braylon Allen

539
00:29:58,700 --> 00:30:04,580
and Breeze Hall, that's going to do some damage leading in, I can't even speak, it's definitely

540
00:30:04,580 --> 00:30:08,680
the coffee leading into the second half of the season.

541
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:10,140
That is what they're going to need.

542
00:30:10,140 --> 00:30:15,620
They're going to need those two to be very, very, very productive because if you, because

543
00:30:15,620 --> 00:30:21,500
if they don't, I can't, I can't say that this Jets offense is going to be super productive

544
00:30:21,500 --> 00:30:22,500
and whatnot.

545
00:30:22,500 --> 00:30:24,700
I just can't.

546
00:30:24,700 --> 00:30:28,500
But let's just get into these stats.

547
00:30:28,500 --> 00:30:35,780
So Aaron Rodgers was 27 for 35, 281 yards, two touchdowns, eight yards per attempt and

548
00:30:35,780 --> 00:30:38,100
a 77.1 completion percentage.

549
00:30:38,100 --> 00:30:46,620
Shikowi Bershendron on the other hand was 12 for 18, 98 yards, 5.4 yards per attempt and

550
00:30:46,620 --> 00:30:47,620
a 66.7 completion percentage.

551
00:30:47,620 --> 00:30:52,020
Now, the only reason why his stats were that low was because I think they pulled him in

552
00:30:52,020 --> 00:30:55,860
the later part of the game.

553
00:30:55,860 --> 00:30:59,820
And you know, if we're being real here, that Jets defensive line, they were going after

554
00:30:59,820 --> 00:31:00,820
them.

555
00:31:00,820 --> 00:31:02,380
They were going after them.

556
00:31:02,380 --> 00:31:05,280
The Patriots offensive line could not hold their blocks.

557
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:10,540
They could not hold their own and you know, Jacoby Bershendron was the sacrificial lamb

558
00:31:10,540 --> 00:31:12,780
in this, unfortunately.

559
00:31:12,780 --> 00:31:14,520
And you know, that that's just what it is.

560
00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:17,180
But let's get into these junkie, these junkie nuggets.

561
00:31:17,180 --> 00:31:18,180
Okay.

562
00:31:18,180 --> 00:31:23,940
So the Jets blitz Jacoby Bershendron 40% of his dropbacks, which is the highest under

563
00:31:23,940 --> 00:31:26,180
the Robert Sala era.

564
00:31:26,180 --> 00:31:27,180
Okay.

565
00:31:27,180 --> 00:31:30,900
That says that that speaks a lot for itself.

566
00:31:30,900 --> 00:31:31,900
Okay.

567
00:31:31,900 --> 00:31:35,220
That means that they knew that listen, this Patriots offensive line is not the best.

568
00:31:35,220 --> 00:31:36,500
Not that strong.

569
00:31:36,500 --> 00:31:37,600
We can blitz heavy.

570
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:42,300
We can go after them and we can just attack Jacoby Bershendron every single time.

571
00:31:42,300 --> 00:31:48,140
Now the Patriots missed more tackles against the Jets than in the first two weeks combined.

572
00:31:48,140 --> 00:31:49,140
Right.

573
00:31:49,140 --> 00:31:51,540
Not to mention, okay.

574
00:31:51,540 --> 00:31:57,100
Christian Gonzalez lined up against Gary Wilson 88% of the time and pressed him 43% of the

575
00:31:57,100 --> 00:31:58,100
time.

576
00:31:58,100 --> 00:31:59,100
Right.

577
00:31:59,100 --> 00:32:01,780
Wilson caught four of eight passes.

578
00:32:01,780 --> 00:32:07,940
Christian Gonzalez has lined up against other has lined up against Jamar Chase, DK MacKab,

579
00:32:07,940 --> 00:32:14,020
and now Gary Wilson on 70% of their routes and has allowed less than 25 yards.

580
00:32:14,020 --> 00:32:15,300
Let me tell you something here, folks.

581
00:32:15,300 --> 00:32:16,300
Okay.

582
00:32:16,300 --> 00:32:17,300
Let me get real close to the mic.

583
00:32:17,300 --> 00:32:18,500
Let me let me tell you guys something.

584
00:32:18,500 --> 00:32:19,500
Okay.

585
00:32:19,500 --> 00:32:21,380
I was super heavy on Christian Gonzalez.

586
00:32:21,380 --> 00:32:22,380
Okay.

587
00:32:22,380 --> 00:32:27,300
Your back row, Domus told his friends and fellow colleagues that Christian Gonzalez was going

588
00:32:27,300 --> 00:32:28,820
to be a beast.

589
00:32:28,820 --> 00:32:29,820
Okay.

590
00:32:29,820 --> 00:32:31,420
And that is what you are seeing right now.

591
00:32:31,420 --> 00:32:33,060
You are seeing someone.

592
00:32:33,060 --> 00:32:37,940
You are seeing almost the second coming of Stefan Gilmore on this team right now.

593
00:32:37,940 --> 00:32:38,940
That's what you're seeing.

594
00:32:38,940 --> 00:32:40,140
And guess what?

595
00:32:40,140 --> 00:32:44,620
The Steelers could have had him, but no, the Steelers did not want them because of his

596
00:32:44,620 --> 00:32:47,420
quote unquote character and that he was quiet and whatnot.

597
00:32:47,420 --> 00:32:49,020
Do you know why he's quiet?

598
00:32:49,020 --> 00:32:51,940
Because he is a monster on that field.

599
00:32:51,940 --> 00:32:53,060
A monster.

600
00:32:53,060 --> 00:32:57,340
You mean to tell me you lined up against some of the best receivers in the league and you

601
00:32:57,340 --> 00:33:02,060
have allowed less than 25 yards on all of these fools?

602
00:33:02,060 --> 00:33:07,900
That is something that only Dorel Revis and Stefan Gilmore and their primes can do.

603
00:33:07,900 --> 00:33:10,700
Steelers fans, look at this.

604
00:33:10,700 --> 00:33:11,700
It's not good.

605
00:33:11,700 --> 00:33:13,980
It's a bad stain on us.

606
00:33:13,980 --> 00:33:18,300
Now back to the all Naldes and all those different types of things.

607
00:33:18,300 --> 00:33:23,540
Now when we look at this, Patriots still have a lot to, you know, to go through.

608
00:33:23,540 --> 00:33:26,180
They still have a lot of building that they have to do.

609
00:33:26,180 --> 00:33:32,740
They just they are still going through the, you know, the blows and the and just the just

610
00:33:32,740 --> 00:33:34,900
the process of a rebuild.

611
00:33:34,900 --> 00:33:36,140
It's nasty.

612
00:33:36,140 --> 00:33:37,780
It's not good.

613
00:33:37,780 --> 00:33:39,740
It's all those things wrapped up in a bowl.

614
00:33:39,740 --> 00:33:41,100
But guess what?

615
00:33:41,100 --> 00:33:44,940
Every team has to go through this and on the other side is greatness.

616
00:33:44,940 --> 00:33:45,940
Maybe possibly.

617
00:33:45,940 --> 00:33:46,940
Don't know.

618
00:33:46,940 --> 00:33:47,940
Not a Patriots fan.

619
00:33:47,940 --> 00:33:48,940
Don't really care about them.

620
00:33:48,940 --> 00:33:52,060
They messed up with the Steelers a lot of times when we have to kill the bees.

621
00:33:52,060 --> 00:33:53,620
Moving forward though.

622
00:33:53,620 --> 00:33:56,620
Omar finally gets a W. Finally.

623
00:33:56,620 --> 00:33:58,140
Woo, celebrate confetti.

624
00:33:58,140 --> 00:34:01,260
Woo, almost different types of things.

625
00:34:01,260 --> 00:34:03,700
No, not really because they almost lost.

626
00:34:03,700 --> 00:34:04,700
Okay.

627
00:34:04,700 --> 00:34:06,540
The Cowboys was making a late comeback.

628
00:34:06,540 --> 00:34:07,540
They was.

629
00:34:07,540 --> 00:34:09,540
They was definitely doing their thing.

630
00:34:09,540 --> 00:34:12,780
And you know, if I'm a Ravens fan, I'm not happy.

631
00:34:12,780 --> 00:34:17,540
I am not happy at all because there was a moment in time where this team where the game

632
00:34:17,540 --> 00:34:19,860
looked like it was it was starting to get out of hand.

633
00:34:19,860 --> 00:34:22,860
And, you know, they, it was basically going to be a blowout.

634
00:34:22,860 --> 00:34:26,780
You're going to, you know, start seeing people leaving everything, but nope.

635
00:34:26,780 --> 00:34:34,180
That Prescott with his magical $60 million powers came back and almost won the game.

636
00:34:34,180 --> 00:34:36,380
Well almost tied the game up.

637
00:34:36,380 --> 00:34:38,180
That's not good.

638
00:34:38,180 --> 00:34:39,700
That is not good.

639
00:34:39,700 --> 00:34:40,700
Okay.

640
00:34:40,700 --> 00:34:41,980
But let's get into these stats though.

641
00:34:41,980 --> 00:34:42,980
Okay.

642
00:34:42,980 --> 00:34:50,140
So tomorrow 12 for 15 182 yards, one touchdown 12.1 yards per 10 and 80% completion.

643
00:34:50,140 --> 00:34:53,140
Okay.

644
00:34:53,140 --> 00:34:56,740
Now, when you're probably looking at this, you're probably thinking, oh man, that's a

645
00:34:56,740 --> 00:34:57,740
horrible game.

646
00:34:57,740 --> 00:35:00,300
It's only because they were running the ball all the time.

647
00:35:00,300 --> 00:35:01,300
Okay.

648
00:35:01,300 --> 00:35:11,060
Because when you have King Henry of the Henry family, 25 attempts for 151 yards, six yards

649
00:35:11,060 --> 00:35:12,060
per carry.

650
00:35:12,060 --> 00:35:18,300
And he had five rushes of 10 or more yards legend.

651
00:35:18,300 --> 00:35:24,020
I've said, see the land on the other hand, seven targets for four receptions, 67 yards,

652
00:35:24,020 --> 00:35:32,020
16.8 receiving yards per reception in deck 28 for 51, 379 yards to touchdown 7.4 yards

653
00:35:32,020 --> 00:35:36,660
per 10 and 54.9% completion, completion percentage.

654
00:35:36,660 --> 00:35:41,780
Now, when we look at this, right, and let's just be honest, let's just really just address

655
00:35:41,780 --> 00:35:43,580
the elephant in the room here.

656
00:35:43,580 --> 00:35:44,580
Okay.

657
00:35:44,580 --> 00:35:48,260
This cowboy roster probably has to be one of the worst rosters that we have seen in

658
00:35:48,260 --> 00:35:49,740
a very long time.

659
00:35:49,740 --> 00:35:56,420
And the reason why I say that is because they learned the Ravens literally ran up the middle.

660
00:35:56,420 --> 00:36:02,140
They basically did half back dive multiple times over and over and over and over and

661
00:36:02,140 --> 00:36:04,660
over and over and over again.

662
00:36:04,660 --> 00:36:05,660
And guess what?

663
00:36:05,660 --> 00:36:07,220
Cowboys couldn't stop it.

664
00:36:07,220 --> 00:36:08,340
Not once.

665
00:36:08,340 --> 00:36:10,140
They could not stop it.

666
00:36:10,140 --> 00:36:16,420
When we look at this, you know, the way that they handled their free, their free agency

667
00:36:16,420 --> 00:36:19,620
and especially their off season, it's backfire.

668
00:36:19,620 --> 00:36:25,100
It's backfired and it's hurt them more than help them because when you look at it, what

669
00:36:25,100 --> 00:36:28,420
in the world are you going to be able to do with this defensive line?

670
00:36:28,420 --> 00:36:29,420
What?

671
00:36:29,420 --> 00:36:30,420
Nothing.

672
00:36:30,420 --> 00:36:31,620
You can't do anything with it.

673
00:36:31,620 --> 00:36:35,580
You have Monzy Smith who started look like a bus with the cowboys.

674
00:36:35,580 --> 00:36:37,820
Maybe you'll have a resurgence somewhere else.

675
00:36:37,820 --> 00:36:40,420
You have an old involved Joseph.

676
00:36:40,420 --> 00:36:47,340
You have, you know, D law who I couldn't tell you what D law has done lately.

677
00:36:47,340 --> 00:36:48,340
I haven't seen him.

678
00:36:48,340 --> 00:36:49,340
I think he's a ghost.

679
00:36:49,340 --> 00:36:50,340
He may not be real.

680
00:36:50,340 --> 00:36:51,340
I don't know.

681
00:36:51,340 --> 00:36:55,220
And then you have Michael Parsons who's basically being put, you know, here, there, everywhere

682
00:36:55,220 --> 00:36:57,380
on the line and he's still not getting through.

683
00:36:57,380 --> 00:36:58,820
He's still not making any plays.

684
00:36:58,820 --> 00:37:02,100
So it's a, it's a very tough situation.

685
00:37:02,100 --> 00:37:03,900
You know, it really is.

686
00:37:03,900 --> 00:37:08,220
And, you know, Jerry, Jerry wants the credit.

687
00:37:08,220 --> 00:37:13,840
He wants the credit when he's right, when he's ready, when, when he, when he's winning,

688
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:17,140
when his team is being dominant and all those different types of things.

689
00:37:17,140 --> 00:37:21,500
But when, but when the lights get a little bit too bright and this team does not show

690
00:37:21,500 --> 00:37:26,340
up and this team does not win games, or everybody wants to be quiet.

691
00:37:26,340 --> 00:37:28,100
Everybody wants to point fingers at everybody.

692
00:37:28,100 --> 00:37:29,980
Everybody wants to say, Oh, it's your father.

693
00:37:29,980 --> 00:37:31,540
We didn't do this or it's your father.

694
00:37:31,540 --> 00:37:32,540
We didn't do that.

695
00:37:32,540 --> 00:37:35,060
The fact of the matter is this team is trash.

696
00:37:35,060 --> 00:37:40,900
This team is not, this team can not only compete in their own division, but they cannot go

697
00:37:40,900 --> 00:37:45,900
up against a team like the Lions, like the 41, I don't know about the 49ers, 49ers just

698
00:37:45,900 --> 00:37:52,540
banged up any, any of those NFC teams, they can't hold their own against them because

699
00:37:52,540 --> 00:37:53,540
why?

700
00:37:53,540 --> 00:37:57,100
Everybody knows that guess what, guess what you can do to the Cowboys run the ball, run

701
00:37:57,100 --> 00:37:58,100
the ball.

702
00:37:58,100 --> 00:38:01,700
You could literally run the ball all game long.

703
00:38:01,700 --> 00:38:02,700
Okay.

704
00:38:02,700 --> 00:38:06,900
It's like that one, one Lionel Richie song all night long.

705
00:38:06,900 --> 00:38:10,340
That's, that is who the Cowboys defensive line is because it's horrible.

706
00:38:10,340 --> 00:38:12,100
They can't stop the run.

707
00:38:12,100 --> 00:38:14,620
They can barely do anything with their patch rush.

708
00:38:14,620 --> 00:38:18,940
Their secondary is, and what else?

709
00:38:18,940 --> 00:38:19,940
What else?

710
00:38:19,940 --> 00:38:23,740
It's a very bad roster all around.

711
00:38:23,740 --> 00:38:29,460
And you know, a lot of that has to deal with, you know, two players that were, you know,

712
00:38:29,460 --> 00:38:30,460
looking for contracts.

713
00:38:30,460 --> 00:38:34,300
Now one of them showed up to training camp because he has to because he's the quarterback

714
00:38:34,300 --> 00:38:38,820
and the other decided that he wanted to sit out as long as he possibly could.

715
00:38:38,820 --> 00:38:42,420
And now look what, look what it has resulted in.

716
00:38:42,420 --> 00:38:48,260
Another L either way you look at it, the players, you know, pointing fingers and sending sub

717
00:38:48,260 --> 00:38:53,460
something, I can't even speak subliminals to each other is not going to help them get

718
00:38:53,460 --> 00:38:54,460
a win.

719
00:38:54,460 --> 00:38:55,460
Okay.

720
00:38:55,460 --> 00:39:00,340
They have to lock in and they have to try to win the best way that they possibly can.

721
00:39:00,340 --> 00:39:03,180
Use the strengths of the team, even though they don't have a whole lot of strength because

722
00:39:03,180 --> 00:39:06,620
they are the Cowboys and just try to win.

723
00:39:06,620 --> 00:39:10,620
Now I just made it seem like it was super easy, but really it's not.

724
00:39:10,620 --> 00:39:12,300
But honestly, do not care about the Cowboys.

725
00:39:12,300 --> 00:39:16,780
I know pretty soon we face the Cowboys and when that happens and when we beat the Cowboys,

726
00:39:16,780 --> 00:39:21,620
just know we're going to have an entire episode dedicated to that game.

727
00:39:21,620 --> 00:39:22,620
You heard it here first.

728
00:39:22,620 --> 00:39:27,700
Now moving forward, Malik Willis gets his revenge.

729
00:39:27,700 --> 00:39:31,340
He finally gets his revenge, right?

730
00:39:31,340 --> 00:39:34,460
So let's be real here.

731
00:39:34,460 --> 00:39:40,500
That entire situation with the Titans and whatnot really wasn't the best.

732
00:39:40,500 --> 00:39:41,500
It just wasn't.

733
00:39:41,500 --> 00:39:46,140
And if we can be real here, honestly, you know, I know there were a lot of people that

734
00:39:46,140 --> 00:39:48,900
were saying, Oh, we've never seen this version of Malik Willis before.

735
00:39:48,900 --> 00:39:51,180
Oh, Malik Willis is doing a lot of things.

736
00:39:51,180 --> 00:39:58,140
Malik Willis is, you know, is being put into a situation where he's actually valued, where

737
00:39:58,140 --> 00:40:02,340
the team actually, you know, wants to embrace him and they're actually going to work with

738
00:40:02,340 --> 00:40:08,060
him compared to the Titans where basically they were pushing out their old Vernon quarterback,

739
00:40:08,060 --> 00:40:15,380
Brian Tannehill, go home and they were bringing in Mr. Manez in Will Levis, who has a Mayo

740
00:40:15,380 --> 00:40:22,060
Cologne, which that's just, oh, oh, oh, oh my God.

741
00:40:22,060 --> 00:40:24,540
I think it's going to stand.

742
00:40:24,540 --> 00:40:27,260
Imagine you going into a restaurant, right?

743
00:40:27,260 --> 00:40:30,340
And you're just like, you know, I smell mayonnaise.

744
00:40:30,340 --> 00:40:32,780
Is that what, what is that smell?

745
00:40:32,780 --> 00:40:33,780
What is that smell?

746
00:40:33,780 --> 00:40:38,940
And you look to the side of you and your buddy has on that new Will Levis Cologne.

747
00:40:38,940 --> 00:40:40,940
Was it smell like mayonnaise?

748
00:40:40,940 --> 00:40:42,340
That is disgusting.

749
00:40:42,340 --> 00:40:43,340
Okay.

750
00:40:43,340 --> 00:40:44,340
That is nasty.

751
00:40:44,340 --> 00:40:45,380
That is horrible.

752
00:40:45,380 --> 00:40:47,580
Put it in the trash, throw it away.

753
00:40:47,580 --> 00:40:48,580
Okay.

754
00:40:48,580 --> 00:40:50,540
Because that's, that's just a troche.

755
00:40:50,540 --> 00:40:52,660
Now back to the game.

756
00:40:52,660 --> 00:40:53,660
I just had to say that.

757
00:40:53,660 --> 00:40:56,580
I just had to because it's just, oh man, this is nasty.

758
00:40:56,580 --> 00:40:57,580
This is nasty.

759
00:40:57,580 --> 00:40:58,580
It's a troche.

760
00:40:58,580 --> 00:41:06,820
Now Malik Willis was 13 for 19, 202 yards, one touchdown, 10.6 yards per 10 and a 68.4

761
00:41:06,820 --> 00:41:07,820
completion percentage.

762
00:41:07,820 --> 00:41:14,820
Now when we look at Will Levis, 26 for 34, 260 yards, two touchdowns, two picks, 7.6

763
00:41:14,820 --> 00:41:18,100
yards per 10 and a 76.5 completion percentage.

764
00:41:18,100 --> 00:41:24,540
Now when we look at this here folks, the Titans are in a situation where they are still somewhat

765
00:41:24,540 --> 00:41:25,900
going through a rebuild.

766
00:41:25,900 --> 00:41:31,740
They're still trying to, you know, work out all the, all the, the, the tink, and whatnot

767
00:41:31,740 --> 00:41:34,420
of their, of their roster and whatnot.

768
00:41:34,420 --> 00:41:41,020
But at the same time, you know, Malik, in, in my personal opinion, I feel like they should

769
00:41:41,020 --> 00:41:46,820
have really tried to do a real competition between Malik Willis and Will Levis.

770
00:41:46,820 --> 00:41:51,180
But at the same time, you sort of had the feeling that they were going to favor Will

771
00:41:51,180 --> 00:41:56,700
Levis anyway simply because he was winning games when they did put him in, right?

772
00:41:56,700 --> 00:42:03,140
They actually started to, you know, embrace and surround Will Levis moving forward compared

773
00:42:03,140 --> 00:42:06,820
to trying to figure out who was going to be the person moving forward.

774
00:42:06,820 --> 00:42:11,820
And then it also didn't help that they brought in Mason Rudolph in for, for free agency.

775
00:42:11,820 --> 00:42:15,980
So it's like, you know, if you're Malik Willis, you're really behind the gun.

776
00:42:15,980 --> 00:42:19,620
So for you to get put into a situation where you're with the Packers, it's someone of a

777
00:42:19,620 --> 00:42:21,300
breath of fresh air.

778
00:42:21,300 --> 00:42:22,980
It is.

779
00:42:22,980 --> 00:42:24,820
And you know, he, he did his thing.

780
00:42:24,820 --> 00:42:26,180
He did just enough.

781
00:42:26,180 --> 00:42:28,420
He did what he was tasked to do.

782
00:42:28,420 --> 00:42:29,420
He didn't go overboard.

783
00:42:29,420 --> 00:42:31,300
He didn't try to be Mr. Superman.

784
00:42:31,300 --> 00:42:32,980
He didn't try to be the hero.

785
00:42:32,980 --> 00:42:34,700
He got the job done.

786
00:42:34,700 --> 00:42:35,700
Okay.

787
00:42:35,700 --> 00:42:40,700
Now, if you're the Titans, you're, you're trying to figure out exactly what do you want to

788
00:42:40,700 --> 00:42:46,980
do moving forward, especially with Will Levis because Will Levis, he's been struggling.

789
00:42:46,980 --> 00:42:47,980
He's been struggling.

790
00:42:47,980 --> 00:42:50,380
They have, they have surrounded him with weapons.

791
00:42:50,380 --> 00:42:53,580
You know, they got Tony Pollard and then they got Calvin Ridley.

792
00:42:53,580 --> 00:42:55,620
They still have deep trailing birds.

793
00:42:55,620 --> 00:42:56,900
They got Tyler Boyd.

794
00:42:56,900 --> 00:42:59,140
Like they have weapons on that team.

795
00:42:59,140 --> 00:43:02,420
So I'm just trying to figure out exactly what's going on.

796
00:43:02,420 --> 00:43:08,420
But again, this is the growing pains that a team has to go through when you are going

797
00:43:08,420 --> 00:43:11,140
through the rebuild that they are going through.

798
00:43:11,140 --> 00:43:14,140
Now, on to the final topic.

799
00:43:14,140 --> 00:43:15,140
Okay.

800
00:43:15,140 --> 00:43:16,340
We're going to do some different.

801
00:43:16,340 --> 00:43:18,540
It's called overreactions, right?

802
00:43:18,540 --> 00:43:21,820
We're isn't that that was actually going to be the title, but nah, I just decided to scrap

803
00:43:21,820 --> 00:43:22,820
it.

804
00:43:22,820 --> 00:43:24,340
We're going to do wheeling and dealing.

805
00:43:24,340 --> 00:43:25,340
Yes.

806
00:43:25,340 --> 00:43:26,900
Wheeling and dealing.

807
00:43:26,900 --> 00:43:28,420
All right.

808
00:43:28,420 --> 00:43:31,620
Now these are just some of the, some of the overreactions that I have.

809
00:43:31,620 --> 00:43:32,620
Okay.

810
00:43:32,620 --> 00:43:36,940
So Steelers being undefeated, Katelyn Williams struggling, the 49ers struggling, Eagles ain't

811
00:43:36,940 --> 00:43:37,940
flying.

812
00:43:37,940 --> 00:43:38,940
Yes.

813
00:43:38,940 --> 00:43:41,140
I said ain't and the Ravens having troubles.

814
00:43:41,140 --> 00:43:42,140
Yes.

815
00:43:42,140 --> 00:43:43,580
So let's start with the Steelers.

816
00:43:43,580 --> 00:43:44,580
That's right.

817
00:43:44,580 --> 00:43:45,580
The sixth time.

818
00:43:45,580 --> 00:43:46,580
No, I'm not going to do it.

819
00:43:46,580 --> 00:43:48,100
I was going to do it.

820
00:43:48,100 --> 00:43:50,220
Not going to do it.

821
00:43:50,220 --> 00:43:55,740
You know, the future, you know, AFC, you know, champions of the 2024 season, you know, Pittsburgh

822
00:43:55,740 --> 00:43:58,940
Steelers, you know, not going to do it.

823
00:43:58,940 --> 00:43:59,940
Not going to do it.

824
00:43:59,940 --> 00:44:01,180
Not going to do it.

825
00:44:01,180 --> 00:44:04,660
The Steelers being undefeated, everybody just needs to relax.

826
00:44:04,660 --> 00:44:05,660
Okay.

827
00:44:05,660 --> 00:44:06,660
Relax.

828
00:44:06,660 --> 00:44:15,300
I want you to take a deep breath in me and then who saw and then who saw relax.

829
00:44:15,300 --> 00:44:16,300
Okay.

830
00:44:16,300 --> 00:44:21,460
We, we went up against the Falcons who had Kirk cousins who came off of a major injury.

831
00:44:21,460 --> 00:44:22,460
We had a rookie.

832
00:44:22,460 --> 00:44:28,420
We went up against a rookie quarterback in Bowen X and a Broncos team that, you know,

833
00:44:28,420 --> 00:44:32,580
it's the Broncos and then you went up against the Chargers.

834
00:44:32,580 --> 00:44:35,620
The Chargers have probably been so far right now.

835
00:44:35,620 --> 00:44:40,100
The most competition that they've probably had to go up against, you know, since the

836
00:44:40,100 --> 00:44:41,660
season has started.

837
00:44:41,660 --> 00:44:46,180
Now as the season progresses, you know, you, you, you go up against certain teams like

838
00:44:46,180 --> 00:44:47,300
the Colts.

839
00:44:47,300 --> 00:44:49,140
That's a game that I'm really looking forward to.

840
00:44:49,140 --> 00:44:50,140
Okay.

841
00:44:50,140 --> 00:44:53,220
That's a game I'm really looking forward to.

842
00:44:53,220 --> 00:44:55,380
But to say that, you know, all this is great.

843
00:44:55,380 --> 00:44:57,220
They were undefeated and whatnot.

844
00:44:57,220 --> 00:45:04,020
So, okay, you don't, just because you're undefeated does not mean, oh, that you are the best

845
00:45:04,020 --> 00:45:05,020
team.

846
00:45:05,020 --> 00:45:08,700
Now I will say this, the defense, the defense is doing their part.

847
00:45:08,700 --> 00:45:09,700
They're holding their own.

848
00:45:09,700 --> 00:45:11,980
I'm not really worried about the defense.

849
00:45:11,980 --> 00:45:14,660
It is as usual, it's the offense.

850
00:45:14,660 --> 00:45:16,820
The offense has to pick things up more.

851
00:45:16,820 --> 00:45:17,820
Okay.

852
00:45:17,820 --> 00:45:18,820
They have to do more.

853
00:45:18,820 --> 00:45:19,820
They have to.

854
00:45:19,820 --> 00:45:25,020
Otherwise they're going to be put in a situation where it can be a late season situation where

855
00:45:25,020 --> 00:45:26,660
you need to win the game.

856
00:45:26,660 --> 00:45:29,900
And the offense isn't clicking.

857
00:45:29,900 --> 00:45:32,460
And you know, the defense is doing their thing.

858
00:45:32,460 --> 00:45:37,220
The defense could be putting them in great, you know, great field position and everything.

859
00:45:37,220 --> 00:45:40,820
And you know, the offense just can't get it done.

860
00:45:40,820 --> 00:45:42,020
That's not good enough.

861
00:45:42,020 --> 00:45:43,820
That's just not good enough.

862
00:45:43,820 --> 00:45:46,660
Now we will look at Caleb Williams and his struggles and whatnot.

863
00:45:46,660 --> 00:45:47,660
He's a rookie.

864
00:45:47,660 --> 00:45:48,660
He's a rookie.

865
00:45:48,660 --> 00:45:49,660
He's a rookie.

866
00:45:49,660 --> 00:45:53,140
He's going through the growing pains and whatnot of the NFL.

867
00:45:53,140 --> 00:45:57,860
And you know, if we can be real here, I don't think that that coaching staff is going to

868
00:45:57,860 --> 00:45:58,860
be there for too long.

869
00:45:58,860 --> 00:46:04,380
I think they're going to scrap the, the, uh, I can't speak.

870
00:46:04,380 --> 00:46:10,100
I think they're going to scrap the coaching, you know, just the entire coaching as a whole.

871
00:46:10,100 --> 00:46:12,300
I'm talking about from the head coach, the OCM whatnot.

872
00:46:12,300 --> 00:46:14,740
And I think they're just going to go in a different direction.

873
00:46:14,740 --> 00:46:19,300
And I think they're really going to get an offensive minded head coach for Caleb Williams.

874
00:46:19,300 --> 00:46:24,540
And just because I think they're, they're really trying to rewrite their rungs and how

875
00:46:24,540 --> 00:46:27,100
they handle the situation with Justin Fields.

876
00:46:27,100 --> 00:46:30,980
And so I think they're now trying to do things a little bit different with Caleb Williams.

877
00:46:30,980 --> 00:46:37,660
Now still, I mean, you know, Caleb, Caleb, Caleb is going to go through this.

878
00:46:37,660 --> 00:46:39,220
He's going to struggle.

879
00:46:39,220 --> 00:46:41,260
That is, that is, you know, that is a rookie.

880
00:46:41,260 --> 00:46:45,580
Now I understand there's people are saying, well, the bearish of the draft, Jane Daniels,

881
00:46:45,580 --> 00:46:50,980
who was to say that, you know, he would get the same, the same outcome as he as, as Jane

882
00:46:50,980 --> 00:46:53,660
Daniels has been getting.

883
00:46:53,660 --> 00:46:56,020
Who was to say that nobody came.

884
00:46:56,020 --> 00:47:02,860
So you know, just again, relax, relax, calm down, cool down, man.

885
00:47:02,860 --> 00:47:05,180
Get some water, get some water.

886
00:47:05,180 --> 00:47:06,180
Okay.

887
00:47:06,180 --> 00:47:09,900
Now the 49ers struggles that is due in part to the Madden curse.

888
00:47:09,900 --> 00:47:14,100
Now, if you don't know what the Madden curse is, anytime a Madden player, anytime a player

889
00:47:14,100 --> 00:47:20,180
is on the Madden cover, mysterious things happen in that season.

890
00:47:20,180 --> 00:47:21,180
It's just weird, right?

891
00:47:21,180 --> 00:47:24,740
It's literally, you can pull it up and you can look at it.

892
00:47:24,740 --> 00:47:26,060
It's a real thing.

893
00:47:26,060 --> 00:47:31,020
Christian McCaffrey is in Germany right now looking, looking to get, you know, support

894
00:47:31,020 --> 00:47:34,860
for his Achilles grave diggers out with a torn peck.

895
00:47:34,860 --> 00:47:39,700
You know, the office isn't looking, isn't really looking that good, except for, you

896
00:47:39,700 --> 00:47:45,260
know, Joann Jennings, Brandy Ewing is who going?

897
00:47:45,260 --> 00:47:47,940
It goes, I don't know.

898
00:47:47,940 --> 00:47:48,940
Never seen them before.

899
00:47:48,940 --> 00:47:50,860
Never heard of them before.

900
00:47:50,860 --> 00:47:53,260
And you know, it's just, it's a tough situation.

901
00:47:53,260 --> 00:47:57,420
It is a very tough situation for the 49ers right now.

902
00:47:57,420 --> 00:48:01,020
I don't think they expected to go through the growing pains that they're going through

903
00:48:01,020 --> 00:48:02,020
right now.

904
00:48:02,020 --> 00:48:06,420
And, you know, a lot of their star players are, are banged up and they're going to be

905
00:48:06,420 --> 00:48:07,580
out for a while.

906
00:48:07,580 --> 00:48:13,140
So, you know, I would not be surprised if they will be in the market for defense of

907
00:48:13,140 --> 00:48:18,180
tackle to replace grave digger because now you don't have Eric.

908
00:48:18,180 --> 00:48:19,180
Well, wait a minute.

909
00:48:19,180 --> 00:48:20,180
Do they have Eric?

910
00:48:20,180 --> 00:48:23,660
No, you don't have Eric Armstead and you don't have the Forrest Buckner and now you

911
00:48:23,660 --> 00:48:24,940
don't have grave digger.

912
00:48:24,940 --> 00:48:29,780
Now granted, they have, you know, they do have some, some other, some other good players,

913
00:48:29,780 --> 00:48:34,260
which is still going to need somebody else to be paired with them, right?

914
00:48:34,260 --> 00:48:38,740
You know, 49ers, you're going to have to do something here playing.

915
00:48:38,740 --> 00:48:40,260
You're going to have to do something here play.

916
00:48:40,260 --> 00:48:42,100
You're going to have to do something.

917
00:48:42,100 --> 00:48:44,380
Now the Eagles ain't flying.

918
00:48:44,380 --> 00:48:45,660
Yes, it is true.

919
00:48:45,660 --> 00:48:47,060
The Eagles aren't flying.

920
00:48:47,060 --> 00:48:52,020
The Eagles are gliding or just walking, whatever you want to call it.

921
00:48:52,020 --> 00:48:57,100
The Eagles are, you know, they're, they're going through their bumps and bruises because

922
00:48:57,100 --> 00:49:01,580
again, they're, it's a new offense as being installed and a lot of turnover has happened.

923
00:49:01,580 --> 00:49:06,300
You know, Jason Kelsey has retired and whatnot, so it's still a lot of, you know, trying to

924
00:49:06,300 --> 00:49:09,740
get used to all those different types of things, right?

925
00:49:09,740 --> 00:49:14,620
Not to mention, you know, the, the whole controversy over the off season where, you know, Nick

926
00:49:14,620 --> 00:49:18,860
Siriani and Jaylen Hurts were beefing and whatnot and, you know, all those different

927
00:49:18,860 --> 00:49:19,860
types of things.

928
00:49:19,860 --> 00:49:25,900
And, you know, if we're being real here, Nick Siriani's seat is hot, hot.

929
00:49:25,900 --> 00:49:30,700
If they do not have a great season this year, oh, he's gone.

930
00:49:30,700 --> 00:49:31,700
He is gone.

931
00:49:31,700 --> 00:49:32,700
Gone.

932
00:49:32,700 --> 00:49:33,700
G-O-N-E.

933
00:49:33,700 --> 00:49:34,700
Gone.

934
00:49:34,700 --> 00:49:41,740
Now we'll say this, the bright light in all of this is they hit when they went after and

935
00:49:41,740 --> 00:49:45,460
they got say, Qanbarclay, unlike some GMs, I didn't want to do that and didn't want to

936
00:49:45,460 --> 00:49:47,540
pay them because they didn't want to value them.

937
00:49:47,540 --> 00:49:50,780
But that's another story for another day.

938
00:49:50,780 --> 00:49:53,580
Now, you know, again, this all takes time.

939
00:49:53,580 --> 00:49:56,660
The season is still fairly, you know, early and whatnot.

940
00:49:56,660 --> 00:50:00,660
So these things happen, you know, some teams go through the bumps and bruises early.

941
00:50:00,660 --> 00:50:05,540
So that, you know, once the rest of the season, you know, goes through and whatnot, they are

942
00:50:05,540 --> 00:50:08,860
prepared, they are ready, and, you know, they are dominant.

943
00:50:08,860 --> 00:50:10,460
So who knows?

944
00:50:10,460 --> 00:50:12,180
Same thing with the Ravens, right?

945
00:50:12,180 --> 00:50:15,820
The Ravens finally got a W, which is great.

946
00:50:15,820 --> 00:50:20,500
But at the same time, you know, the expectations are a little bit higher for them on both sides

947
00:50:20,500 --> 00:50:25,020
of the ball because this roster is ready to win a Super Bowl, right?

948
00:50:25,020 --> 00:50:28,780
They don't, they don't, you don't make the type of moves that the Ravens have made if

949
00:50:28,780 --> 00:50:31,220
you're not going to compete for a Super Bowl.

950
00:50:31,220 --> 00:50:34,020
I'm just sorry, you're just not going to do that.

951
00:50:34,020 --> 00:50:38,660
But you know, all these different types of things, it's a wait and see, just got to give

952
00:50:38,660 --> 00:50:40,260
you some time, okay?

953
00:50:40,260 --> 00:50:45,020
The season, as I, as I continue to say for myself and to other people, the season is

954
00:50:45,020 --> 00:50:46,900
still fairly early.

955
00:50:46,900 --> 00:50:49,700
You got to play the waiting game, okay?

956
00:50:49,700 --> 00:50:51,860
Come back to me around Thanksgiving, okay?

957
00:50:51,860 --> 00:50:57,540
When we start coming to Turkey, then we can have a really more in-depth conversation,

958
00:50:57,540 --> 00:50:58,540
okay?

959
00:50:58,540 --> 00:51:01,980

Let me know your thoughts on Lamar and the Ravens doing their thing and Joe Burrow being

969
00:51:34,700 --> 00:51:39,260
a bum and Dak Prescott, you know, doing Dak things.

970
00:51:39,260 --> 00:51:43,340
I think that's just the best way to say it.

971
00:51:43,340 --> 00:51:44,340
What else?

972
00:51:44,340 --> 00:51:48,420
Oh, I forgot, I forgot all the other stuff I got to do.

973
00:51:48,420 --> 00:51:51,580

It is together, not spaced.

984
00:52:28,620 --> 00:52:32,500

Hopefully I can give you guys more content coming soon, still learning a few things,

990
00:52:49,100 --> 00:52:54,780
still trying to get more analytical and more playbook-y-ish with, you know, all this different

991
00:52:54,780 --> 00:52:57,580
types of stuff, but just know this.

992
00:52:57,580 --> 00:53:03,700
Keep your eyes on what's going on this season and just know a lot of changes are going to

993
