00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:15,320 Anthony Richardson is out of the doghouse the sixth time, sixth time. 5 00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:17,000 Oh, you thought I wasn't going to forget. 6 00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:22,360 Six times, six times, six times, six times. 7 00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:27,160 Pittsburgh Steelers get a win in the DMV. 8 00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:29,440 Arizona Cardinals dominate the Jets. 9 00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:31,400 The Lions escape with the dub. 10 00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:36,400 The Panthers continue to stack wins and we got football tonight, folks. 11 00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:37,400 That's right. 12 00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:38,840 Commanders versus Eagles. 13 00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:39,840 Okay. 14 00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:44,360 All of this and more on the 48th episode of the Football Junkies podcast. 15 00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:45,360 Okay. 16 00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:46,960 I am your host with the most. 17 00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:48,960 Your chief Bagrodamus. 18 00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:49,960 Okay. 19 00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:55,480 Your chief head of the table meteorologist for all predictions moving forward in the 20 00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:57,320 next three to six years. 21 00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:58,320 Okay. 22 00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:03,320 And most importantly, I am your GM who is not on a team right now, but don't you worry 23 00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:04,320 about it. 24 00:01:04,320 --> 00:01:05,320 Okay. 25 00:01:05,320 --> 00:01:09,760 I'm all of these things and more, but most importantly, I'm your host, Kale. 26 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:11,480 You already know what I'm giving my say. 27 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:29,440 So on three, one, two, three, let's lock in. 28 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:41,440 All right, folks, let's get into the meat and potatoes of everything that is going 29 00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:43,160 on the league right now. 30 00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:45,640 So we always start off with the baggler. 31 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:47,560 So let's just get into it. 32 00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:48,560 Okay. 33 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:53,880 So the Amador Lenore corner for the 49ers inked a five year, $92 million deal who will 34 00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:57,040 be making 18.4 million a year. 35 00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:58,040 Okay. 36 00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:02,880 Now, when you look at his stats from last year, 86 tackles, three picks and only allowed 37 00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:03,880 one touchdown. 38 00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:09,600 And when we look at this here, the Amador Lenore is a slot corner who, you know, is 39 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:10,600 a gambler. 40 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:15,680 Sometimes he'll make the big play and sometimes he'll miss on the big play, but all in all, 41 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:16,960 he is a solid corner. 42 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:23,160 Now coming into the season, you know, he was looking for a new deal and, you know, with 43 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:28,360 all the, the big media hype about, you know, Trent Williams and brand new, his sort of 44 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:32,680 slipped under the radar simply because he didn't want to make it into, you know, a big 45 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:36,240 production and all in all, it paid off and he got paid. 46 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:42,360 Now, when we look at this, you know, slot corners are becoming more important to a lot 47 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:49,080 of defenses, not only because it adds a blitzing option with it because you can, you know, 48 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:55,200 you can blitz them and whatnot, but we are seeing now that a lot of times you have these 49 00:02:55,200 --> 00:03:00,640 really good slot corners who can hold their own with some of the best receivers when they 50 00:03:00,640 --> 00:03:02,800 are lined up in the slot. 51 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:05,760 And so all in all, it's a great situation. 52 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:10,520 Now I haven't really seen the, the inner workings of the deal. 53 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:17,080 So I don't really know exactly how they structure the deal, but all in all, it shouldn't be something 54 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:21,000 that's going to be, you know, a big pressing issue moving forward. 55 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:25,820 Now the only question that I do have though, what are they going to do with Charverius 56 00:03:25,820 --> 00:03:27,240 Ward moving forward? 57 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,520 Because he is supposed to be a free agent after this season. 58 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:34,080 So 49ers, yes, they take care of their players. 59 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:38,320 But you know, after this season, they have a lot of major decisions that they are going 60 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,520 to have to make moving forward. 61 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:42,760 But let's get into some other things. 62 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:43,760 Okay. 63 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:49,160 So Anthony Richardson is once again the starting quarterback for the Colts after two games 64 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:54,600 with Joe Flacco, they have finally decided to make the decision to give Anthony Richardson 65 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:56,000 another chance. 66 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,360 And you know, quite frankly, it was very much needed. 67 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:04,880 Okay, because when we look at these stats in the two games that Joe Flacco started, right, 68 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:11,400 their matchup against the Vikings in which they lost Joe Flacco was 16 for 27179 passing 69 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:16,720 yards, one pick 6.6 yards per attempt in a 59.3 completion percentage. 70 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:17,720 Okay. 71 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:23,400 Now, when they went, when they went up against the bills, 26 for 35, excuse me, 272 passing 72 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:30,200 yards, two touchdowns, three interceptions, 7.8 yards per attempt in a 74.3 completion 73 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:31,200 percentage. 74 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:37,320 Now, when we look at this, you know, yes, it did, it did cause a lot of, you know, controversy, 75 00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:41,480 you know, throughout the media and probably within the locker room, but the Colts basically 76 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:45,120 put Anthony Richardson on ice for two games. 77 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:49,200 And you know, within that stretch, they lost both of those games. 78 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:53,040 And you know, they probably realized like, Hey, Anthony Richardson is probably going 79 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:58,840 to be our best bet of winning because let's be real here, folks, the Colts are not out 80 00:04:58,840 --> 00:05:01,080 of, you know, going to the playoffs. 81 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:02,320 They're not. 82 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:03,520 They're right there. 83 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:08,760 All they have to do is just get on a hot streak and start winning games. 84 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:13,680 That's all they have to do because as of right now, division is open. 85 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:14,680 Okay. 86 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:16,200 It's open for anybody. 87 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:21,960 It's not, you know, this team has the division, you know, on lock or, you know, it's between 88 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:22,960 these two teams. 89 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:26,600 No, the vision is for anybody at this point. 90 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:32,600 And so as of right now, if the Colts want to, you know, make somewhat of a playoff run, 91 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:34,520 they have to start winning games. 92 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:36,920 And thus they realized that, guess what? 93 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:40,400 Anthony Richardson is their best chance of making that happen. 94 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:43,400 So let's just wait and see what happens with that. 95 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:49,080 Now let's get into this Steelers and commanders game because you know why there were some 96 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:53,040 people that were saying, oh, the commanders are going to beat the Steelers. 97 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,840 The Steelers are finally going to run into some problems. 98 00:05:55,840 --> 00:05:57,640 Where are they now? 99 00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:58,840 Where are they now? 100 00:05:58,840 --> 00:06:00,720 Commanders fans, how are we feeling? 101 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:01,720 How are we feeling today? 102 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:03,640 We feeling a little bit salty? 103 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:06,360 Taking that L doesn't feel good, does it? 104 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:08,440 It's okay. 105 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:10,600 It's a okay. 106 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:12,000 Let's get into this game, folks. 107 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:18,920 So Danger Russ was 14 for 2,895 passing yards, three touchdowns, one pick, seven yards per 108 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:22,040 attempt and a 50% completion percentage. 109 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:23,040 Okay? 110 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:28,360 Jaylen Warren, 14 attempts for 66 rushing yards, 4.7 rushing yards per carry and two 111 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,680 rushes of 10 plus yards or more. 112 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:36,960 George Pickens, seven targets for five receptions, 91 receiving yards, one touchdown and 18.2 113 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:38,360 receiving yards per reception. 114 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:45,520 Jayden Daniels, 17 for 34, 202 passing yards, 5.9 yards per attempt and a 50% completion 115 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:46,520 percentage. 116 00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:52,520 Austin Eckler, 13 attempts for 44 rushing yards, 3.4 rushing yards per carry, two touchdowns 117 00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:54,760 and one rush of 10 plus yards or more. 118 00:06:54,760 --> 00:07:02,040 Terry McCloryn, six targets for five receptions, 113 receiving yards and 22.6 receiving yards 119 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:03,040 per reception. 120 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:06,040 Now let's just get into this, okay? 121 00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:12,400 Because this game could have easily went into a whole different direction, okay? 122 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:17,680 Because leading into the fourth quarter, the commanders had a 10 point lead and it was 123 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:22,680 starting to look like, you know, the commanders were gonna, we're getting ready to just end 124 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:23,680 the game. 125 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,440 And then somehow the Steelers do Steelers things. 126 00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:29,320 You have Cameron Hayward that gets a sack. 127 00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:33,880 You have this person that makes a necessary tackle and then boom, we're back into the 128 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:34,880 game. 129 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,440 And, you know, this was definitely a great game. 130 00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:41,520 This was a back and forth game for all four quarters, okay? 131 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:46,040 The Steelers were fighting just as much as the commanders were fighting, okay? 132 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:50,720 Dante Fowler Jr. for the commanders was doing his thing. 133 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:55,160 He was creating pressure, making big plays, making big stops. 134 00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:56,920 He was doing it all. 135 00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,240 And that's exactly what the commanders needed. 136 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,720 Not to mention, you have Frankie Louvue that was making plays. 137 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,080 You had Jeremy Chin that was making plays. 138 00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:07,160 So all in all, this was a really good game. 139 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:14,120 This wasn't, you know, necessarily a slaughter or anything that anybody would have predicted. 140 00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:17,640 This was a great game from start to finish. 141 00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:23,600 The only problem that I had with this game was the rest were being very ticky tacky when 142 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:25,800 it came to the pass interference calls. 143 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:29,800 Like, you're just gonna just have to let the game just play out. 144 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:36,440 Now, if it's an egregious pass interference, you know, hold, then you know, then you have 145 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:38,120 to do what you have to do. 146 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:43,160 But if it's something very subtle and they let go, you know, quickly before they even 147 00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:45,640 get the ball, let it play. 148 00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:46,920 Let it play. 149 00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:51,120 But at the same time, the Steelers secondary was getting beat up. 150 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:55,900 Dante Jackson was not having a good game, nor was Joey Porter Jr. 151 00:08:55,900 --> 00:08:58,440 Terry McCloury was doing his thing. 152 00:08:58,440 --> 00:08:59,560 And I get it. 153 00:08:59,560 --> 00:09:05,600 Joey is, you know, a hands on type of corner, a physical corner, somebody that likes to put 154 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:07,320 his hands on the receivers. 155 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:08,840 I get all that. 156 00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:12,360 But there is a time and place when you do that because guess what? 157 00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:16,840 They were calling it almost every single time, every single time. 158 00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:20,320 Whop, flag, whop, flag, flag. 159 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:21,880 Pass interference, pass interference. 160 00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:28,560 Like at some point, bro, you just, you shouldn't have to use your hands a whole lot to, you 161 00:09:28,560 --> 00:09:29,560 know, to do this. 162 00:09:29,560 --> 00:09:30,560 You shouldn't have to. 163 00:09:30,560 --> 00:09:33,360 You're one of the biggest corners on the field. 164 00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:38,880 All you got to do is just use your body and position yourself to be able to either, you 165 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,920 know, deflect the pass or try to get a pick. 166 00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:42,920 That's all you have to do. 167 00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:44,440 You don't have to do anything else. 168 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:48,600 But you know, again, the Steelers upfront was doing their thing. 169 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:53,360 Keanu Benson was making, you know, crucial plays as well as Cameron Hayward. 170 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:54,960 And you know, this is what I will say. 171 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,560 I will be one of the first to say it publicly. 172 00:09:57,560 --> 00:09:59,440 I was wrong. 173 00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:00,440 I was wrong. 174 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:06,040 I was definitely a person who was definitely on the fence about giving Cam another, you 175 00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:12,080 know, another deal because, you know, the Steelers are at a point where, you know, they're close 176 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:16,600 to, you know, hitting that threshold where their Super Bowl window is open. 177 00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:24,040 And we see a lot of times where when you do play, not play, but when you do pay the veteran, 178 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:29,680 you know, player on a team a whole lot of money, a lot of times that contract does not, 179 00:10:29,680 --> 00:10:31,600 you know, age well. 180 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,360 But so far, Cam has been doing his thing. 181 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:42,320 He continues to show why he is still a top 10 run defender and a top 10 detackle in the 182 00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:43,560 league. 183 00:10:43,560 --> 00:10:47,560 And you know, again, this defense has been doing their thing. 184 00:10:47,560 --> 00:10:49,280 They've been beating up teams. 185 00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:53,240 Jaden Daniels wasn't running, you know, out of the pocket a whole lot. 186 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:58,360 They made sure that they were going to try to contain him as much as possible. 187 00:10:58,360 --> 00:10:59,680 And it worked. 188 00:10:59,680 --> 00:11:01,360 It worked like a charm. 189 00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:07,480 Now when we move over to the Steelers offense, they were starting to, you know, get some 190 00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:08,480 motion. 191 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:10,640 George Pickens was making miraculous plays. 192 00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:13,120 Pat Fryer move was, was making plays. 193 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:17,320 Everybody was making plays, but then they're starting to hit a point where Najee was starting 194 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:21,880 to be a little bit stagnant in the run in the commander's word, you know, where it was stopping 195 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:22,880 it. 196 00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:24,800 And so guess what the Steelers do? 197 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:26,880 Get Jalen Warren, put him in. 198 00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:31,120 Bam, first down, big play, big play, big play, big play. 199 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:33,960 So all in all, it was a back and forth game. 200 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:35,760 It really was. 201 00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:39,840 And you know, this is what I will say for all the commander's fans that are probably 202 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:44,400 upset about their, their rookie detackle, you know, going off sides. 203 00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:45,520 He's a rookie. 204 00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:46,520 He's a rookie. 205 00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:48,720 He's going to make these types of mistakes. 206 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:49,800 That's what happens. 207 00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:55,600 No one, all of those other guys, they know what to do in this situation. 208 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:57,200 He didn't. 209 00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,040 And it's a simple, simple mistake. 210 00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:04,200 Yes, it did cost them the game, but you can't just, you know, you can't just throw money 211 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:05,200 with a bus. 212 00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:06,200 You just can't. 213 00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:11,800 And, you know, for the Steelers to be, to be as aggressive as they have been, especially 214 00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:15,560 on fourth down, which James Pierre, you should have caught the ball. 215 00:12:15,560 --> 00:12:16,560 You definitely should have. 216 00:12:16,560 --> 00:12:21,400 If you would have caught the ball, you probably would have had a first down and more, possibly 217 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:25,840 almost a touchdown because there wasn't anybody near you for at least 10 to 15 yards. 218 00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:32,560 But you know, you're starting to see a Steelers team that is going to be a thorn in people's 219 00:12:32,560 --> 00:12:37,320 sides moving forward because as of right now, the AFC teams that you really have to worry 220 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:43,200 about are of course the Chiefs, the Ravens, the Bills and now the Steelers. 221 00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:49,840 I truly believe that I think if the Steelers continue to win and if they went on Sunday, 222 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:55,760 which that has to be a whole episode in itself, they can position themselves to be seated fairly 223 00:12:55,760 --> 00:13:01,760 high so that, you know, whoever they go up against, it's not necessarily going to be 224 00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:08,720 a slaughter, but you, you have a better matchup compared to, you know, you're seating low 225 00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:12,160 and you're going to have to go up against the Chiefs or going to have to go up against 226 00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:14,560 the Bills again or whomever. 227 00:13:14,560 --> 00:13:19,680 Now you have Russell Wilson, who has been able to unlock the deep pass game, which, 228 00:13:19,680 --> 00:13:23,240 you know, the Steelers have been trying to do for a while now. 229 00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:24,880 They try to do it with Kenny Pickett. 230 00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:25,880 That didn't work. 231 00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:27,280 They try to do it with Justin Fields. 232 00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:28,760 That didn't work either. 233 00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:32,000 And Russ has been able to do it successfully and it's worked. 234 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:33,840 It paid off substantially. 235 00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:37,000 That play with Mike Williams, they didn't even practice it. 236 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,160 So all in all, it worked. 237 00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:43,440 I don't know what Russ is doing, but continue to do it. 238 00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:45,640 This run game looks great. 239 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:49,120 The offensive line, they're blocking well. 240 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:51,480 This team is going to continue to stack wins. 241 00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:55,960 Now I'm not saying that, you know, the second half of the season, they're going to go undefeated. 242 00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:58,160 No, I do not believe that. 243 00:13:58,160 --> 00:13:59,400 Not one bit. 244 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:03,960 But if they do win at least two or three of their division rival games, we're going to 245 00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:05,640 have to have a different conversation. 246 00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:09,160 Now moving on to the Cardinals in Jets game. 247 00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:13,400 Yes, that Jets team, we're just going to leave it there. 248 00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:20,240 Tyler Murray was 22 for 24, 266 passing yards, one touchdown, 11.1 yards per attempt and 249 00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:22,680 a 91.7 completion percentage. 250 00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:23,680 Okay. 251 00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:29,720 Trey Benson, 10 attempts for 62 rushing yards, 6.2 rushing yards per carry and three rushes 252 00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:31,440 of 10 plus yards or more. 253 00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:37,080 Trey McBride, five targets for four receptions, 71 receiving yards and 17.8 receiving yards 254 00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:38,080 per reception. 255 00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:45,880 Aaron Rogers, 22 for 35, 151 passing yards, 4.3 yards per attempt and a 62.9 completion 256 00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:46,880 percentage. 257 00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:52,680 Breece Hall, 10 attempts for 52 rushing yards, 5.2 rushing yards per carry and one rush of 258 00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:54,240 10 plus yards or more. 259 00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:59,560 Garrett Wilson, six targets for five receptions, 41 receiving yards and 8.2 receiving yards 260 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:00,560 per reception. 261 00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:01,920 Now this is what I will say. 262 00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:06,920 For the Cardinals to do what they did to the Jets is surprising. 263 00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:12,240 Now again, this was a team that I really haven't been able to watch a whole lot of Cardinals 264 00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:18,640 games, but I was able to watch this one and let me just say, Cardinals, I was unfamiliar 265 00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:20,160 with your game. 266 00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:24,800 I was unfamiliar because you guys, you guys are coming out guns blazing. 267 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:27,040 You guys have been doing your thing. 268 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:28,040 Okay. 269 00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:34,520 You talk about Tyler Murray, who prior to this point, you know, was definitely getting, 270 00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:39,600 you know, criticized because, you know, he plays a lot of video games and he's, you know, 271 00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,400 really heavy into Call of Duty and whatnot. 272 00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:44,440 Colin Murray has been balling out. 273 00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:48,680 Trey McBride, that is a superstar right there for the Cardinals. 274 00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:51,400 There was literally a play where Trey McBride caught it. 275 00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:56,840 There were four Jets defenders around him and he was still fighting to get the extra 276 00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:57,840 yards. 277 00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:01,960 Trey McBride looked amazing out there on the field. 278 00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:02,960 Okay. 279 00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:08,520 I'm talking about somebody that is definitely going to be with this team for a long time. 280 00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:14,440 If I'm the Cardinals, I am making sure that you lock him up because what he has been able 281 00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:18,880 to do for the past two years now, amazing. 282 00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:20,600 And that is exactly what you need. 283 00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:23,560 On top of that, James Carter was doing his thing. 284 00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:25,520 Trey McBride was doing this thing. 285 00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:31,880 The offense was just, was going on all cylinders and the Jets weren't able to do it. 286 00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:36,400 Not to mention this Jets defense, I don't know what it is. 287 00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:39,120 None of them look like they really wanted to tackle. 288 00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:44,400 Now granted, outside of that one play where Quincy Williams, you know, cracked, Colin 289 00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:48,160 Murray, this Jets defense was not looking good. 290 00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:49,160 It just wasn't. 291 00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:54,160 I don't know what it is, but it just seems like the life has just been sucked out of 292 00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:58,840 this team and sauce don't even look the same. 293 00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:00,560 Sauce does not look good. 294 00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:01,560 I'm sorry. 295 00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:05,160 We have to ring the red flag, the red bell. 296 00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:10,200 We have to ring something because this Jets team does not look good. 297 00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:13,840 And you cannot say that this Jets team does not have talent. 298 00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:16,560 This Jets team is struggling. 299 00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:21,200 This Jets team needs, you know, a fire put under them. 300 00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:23,280 They need some juice injected to them. 301 00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:30,560 They need something because if they don't, this ship is going to continue to sink more 302 00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:32,800 and more into the water. 303 00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:36,080 And Eric Rogers hasn't been looking good either. 304 00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:41,360 He was supposed to be, you know, doing his thing now that they have Devante Adams and, 305 00:17:41,360 --> 00:17:45,080 you know, the Cardinals defense was holding was holding up their own as well. 306 00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:48,000 But Baker was, was creating pressure. 307 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,480 The past rushers were creating pressure. 308 00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:55,100 They were able to, you know, go toe to toe with Devante Adams and Garrett Wilson. 309 00:17:55,100 --> 00:18:03,280 They were able to, to do a lot and, you know, for the Cardinals to be able to do this, definitely, 310 00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:04,920 you know, peaks my interest. 311 00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:09,200 And you know, I would not be surprised if they are, you know, seated up pretty high 312 00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:10,680 in the playoffs. 313 00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:16,480 That Cardinals team, if they went up against the 49ers in the playoffs, I would probably 314 00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:23,400 put some money on the Cardinals simply because this team right now is the best in their division. 315 00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:26,040 That offense is running on all cylinders. 316 00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:31,320 Collin Mary is looking the best that he has ever been so far. 317 00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:38,360 You pair him with Marvin Harrison, Jr. and Trey McBride and, you know, James Conner and 318 00:18:38,360 --> 00:18:41,360 in company, they are doing their thing. 319 00:18:41,360 --> 00:18:42,360 They are. 320 00:18:42,360 --> 00:18:45,600 And they look like they are really serious. 321 00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:50,120 Like this is a young team that teams are going to have to be worried about, you know, moving 322 00:18:50,120 --> 00:18:51,120 forward. 323 00:18:51,120 --> 00:18:56,000 And, you know, if I'm the Cardinals front office, I am continuing to build off of this 324 00:18:56,000 --> 00:19:02,840 momentum because I guarantee you, if they hit on the next two drafts and maybe some 325 00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:08,320 free agency signings, this is going to be a team that is going to be primed for a deep 326 00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:09,600 playoff run. 327 00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:12,200 You heard it here first on the Football Junkies podcast. 328 00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:13,200 Okay. 329 00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:16,560 Now, let's go on to the Lions in Texans game. 330 00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:17,560 Okay. 331 00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:22,160 Man, I have so much to say about this, but let's just dive into it. 332 00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:23,160 Okay. 333 00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:29,800 CJ Stroud 19 for 33, 232 passing yards, one touchdown, two picks, seven yards per attempt 334 00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:32,600 and a 57.6 completion percentage. 335 00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:33,600 Okay. 336 00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:38,520 John Metchie the third six targets with five receptions, 74 receiving yards, one touchdown 337 00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:41,280 and 14.8 receiving yards per reception. 338 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:47,840 Joe Mixon 25 attempts or 46 rushing yards, 1.8 rushing yards per carry and one touchdown. 339 00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:48,840 Okay. 340 00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:54,760 Jared Gauth 15 for 30, 240 passing yards, two touchdowns, five picks, eight yards per 341 00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:57,600 attempt and a 50% completion percentage. 342 00:19:57,600 --> 00:19:58,600 Okay. 343 00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:04,800 Jamira Gibbs 19 attempts for 71 rushing yards, 3.7 rushing yards per carry and three rushes 344 00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:06,520 of 10 plus yards or more. 345 00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:13,240 Camil Porter, six targets for three receptions, 66 receiving yards, one touchdown and 22 receiving 346 00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:14,520 yards per reception. 347 00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:19,520 Now this was probably one of the worst games for Jared Gauth that we have seen in a very 348 00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:21,280 long time. 349 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:28,480 And the fact that this Texans team wasn't able to really capitalize off of all of those, 350 00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:31,960 you know, picks is a little bit alarming. 351 00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:32,960 It is. 352 00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:37,960 I'm not saying that every single one of them needed to be a pick six, but if you convert 353 00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:43,960 at least three of those interceptions into touchdowns, that puts you in a fairly comfortable 354 00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:47,040 place for them not to be able to do it. 355 00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:51,280 Definitely says a lot, but I think the bigger pressing issues I think that definitely needs 356 00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:57,720 to be talked about is CJ Stroud has significant significantly regressed. 357 00:20:57,720 --> 00:20:59,760 And I don't know what it is. 358 00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:01,680 I don't know if that's a coaching thing. 359 00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:04,920 I don't know if it's because of the offensive line. 360 00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:12,400 I don't know what it is, but he has significantly regressed and it's starting to be a big problem. 361 00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:17,000 If you're the Texans, you have to be a little bit afraid of this because when we look at 362 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:20,600 it last year, guns blazing, right? 363 00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:24,760 You couldn't say not one negative thing about CJ Stroud. 364 00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:26,420 He was doing his thing. 365 00:21:26,420 --> 00:21:32,400 He was making the routine throws, making the big plays, winning games, doing his thing. 366 00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:36,840 And then now he's, he's not the same. 367 00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:39,800 Now maybe it's the sophomore slum. 368 00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:44,040 Maybe you know, it was a particular coach that's not there anymore. 369 00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:48,160 I don't know what it is, but something is not right. 370 00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:49,160 Okay. 371 00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:52,800 This team is a loaded team on both sides of the ball. 372 00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:54,800 They're full of talent. 373 00:21:54,800 --> 00:22:00,080 Out of Stefan Diggs being out for the season, there is no reason why the Texans should be 374 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:02,560 struggling the way that they have been struggling. 375 00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:04,240 No reason. 376 00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:07,960 And for them to be struggling like this, it's not good. 377 00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:09,880 We again, I will continue to say this. 378 00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:13,000 I will continue to beat on the table. 379 00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:18,640 We are about to hit that point where every single game is going to matter. 380 00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:23,880 And if you have not been, if you've not been winning your divisional games, that is going 381 00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:30,120 to bite you once we start getting into the seeding process for the playoffs. 382 00:22:30,120 --> 00:22:31,120 It is. 383 00:22:31,120 --> 00:22:35,360 And again, the division for the Texans isn't even fairly strong. 384 00:22:35,360 --> 00:22:39,440 The only team that the Texans have to worry about is the Colts. 385 00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:41,080 And even then they're strong. 386 00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:44,920 They're still trying to figure out what, what they're going to do moving forward with their 387 00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:46,040 quarterback. 388 00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:49,360 Even though they did say that Anthony Richardson was going to be starting. 389 00:22:49,360 --> 00:22:50,800 Who knows? 390 00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:56,800 So again, Texans, you've got to get a, you got to get control of not only the division, 391 00:22:56,800 --> 00:23:02,440 but you have to figure out what is going on with CJ Stroud and, you know, try to see 392 00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:03,640 if you can patch it up. 393 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:09,920 Because right now our AFC teams who are looking at the footage of CJ Stroud, just in case 394 00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:11,840 they have to face them in the playoffs. 395 00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:17,000 And I guarantee you right now, they already have a plan in place on how to deal with them. 396 00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:21,280 Now, I will say this and I will give him a little bit of leniency. 397 00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:24,360 Their offensive line this year has not been that good. 398 00:23:24,360 --> 00:23:25,360 It hasn't. 399 00:23:25,360 --> 00:23:31,720 And, you know, I would have thought, you know, leading into the, the trade deadline that 400 00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:35,880 they would have tried to make a few trades just to bolster up the, the offensive line 401 00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:42,200 a little bit more because outside of Loremi Tunzel, a fairly good job. 402 00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:44,760 Everybody else is a little bit shaky. 403 00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:48,360 And right now they have to be able to protect their quarterback. 404 00:23:48,360 --> 00:23:53,080 If they want to be able to make a deep playoff run and go right back where they were last 405 00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:58,920 year, they got a button, they got a button on these, all these problems, these very loose 406 00:23:58,920 --> 00:23:59,920 problems. 407 00:23:59,920 --> 00:24:04,680 Because right now the defense just showed that they can hold their own, especially against 408 00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:06,480 a team like the Lions. 409 00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:13,080 You made Jared golf look human because there was a point in time leading up to this game 410 00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:18,720 that a lot of people could make a strong case that Jared golf was definitely in the MVP 411 00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:19,720 running. 412 00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:24,800 And for him to throw five interceptions, definitely is, you know, a pattern of back to the defense. 413 00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:31,240 But at the same time, you didn't get the W. So again, somebody has to go back to the lab, 414 00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:35,120 figure out what's going on with CJ Stroud and then come up with a strategy because I 415 00:24:35,120 --> 00:24:37,480 still do believe in the Texas. 416 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:44,440 I still do believe that they will make it into the playoffs, but as the week progresses 417 00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:49,840 and as you know, the season begins to come to a close and we start to hit the point for 418 00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:53,640 Thanksgiving and Christmas, you better start stacking those wins. 419 00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:58,960 You better start building a safety net just in case, just in case the seeding gets a little 420 00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:03,400 bit weird because I promise you, you don't want to go up against a team like the Ravens 421 00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:04,400 first. 422 00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:05,400 You don't want that. 423 00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:07,160 I'm telling you, you do not want that. 424 00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:11,520 But let's get into another game that we really do have to talk about. 425 00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:14,040 And that is the Giants and the Panthers. 426 00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:15,040 Okay. 427 00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:22,240 So Daniel Jones was 22 for 37, 190 passing yards, two picks, 5.1 yards per attempt and 428 00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:24,880 a 59.5 completion percentage. 429 00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:32,280 Tyrone Tracy 18 attempts for 103 rushing yards, 5.7 yards per attempt and three rushes of 10 430 00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:33,720 plus yards or more. 431 00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:39,120 John Dale Robinson, eight targets for five receptions, 51 receiving yards and 10.2 receiving 432 00:25:39,120 --> 00:25:40,600 yards per reception. 433 00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:46,800 Bryce Young, 15 for 25, 126 passing yards, one touchdown, five yards per attempt and 434 00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:49,120 a 60% completion percentage. 435 00:25:49,120 --> 00:25:55,400 Chubba Hubbard, 28 attempts for 153 rushing yards, 5.5 yards per attempt and four rushes 436 00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:57,040 of 10 plus yards or more. 437 00:25:57,040 --> 00:26:03,040 Jalen Coker, eight targets for three receptions, 41 receiving yards and 13.7 receiving yards 438 00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:04,040 per reception. 439 00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:06,080 Now, this is what I will say. 440 00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:09,720 This game solely featured the run game. 441 00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:16,280 The run game was very effective on both sides of the ball and both teams relied on it heavy. 442 00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:17,280 Okay. 443 00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:19,080 Tyrone Tracy was doing his thing. 444 00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:21,240 Chubba Hubbard was doing his thing. 445 00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:25,760 And for a point in time, I definitely thought that Tyrone Tracy was going to seal the game, 446 00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:30,880 but unfortunately they took him out and then everything else happened the way that it 447 00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:31,880 happened. 448 00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:35,800 The Panthers get the W, but this is what I will say. 449 00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:39,440 And you know, I haven't really talked about the draft and I probably should talk about 450 00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:42,000 the draft, you know, fairly soon. 451 00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:48,800 But you know, if I'm the Giants, I am tanking for next year. 452 00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:53,200 I am Daniel Jones is not the answer. 453 00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:58,120 Daniel Jones is not the longterm future and it's time for change. 454 00:26:58,120 --> 00:26:59,120 Okay. 455 00:26:59,120 --> 00:27:04,560 I understand that Joe Shane was trying to give Daniel Jones a chance and try to, you 456 00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:08,920 know, reason with the contract that he gave him. 457 00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:12,240 But as of right now, that contract is horrible. 458 00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:13,840 Daniel Jones looks horrible. 459 00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:16,480 This offense looks lackluster. 460 00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:17,480 Okay. 461 00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:26,280 If, if you bring in someone like a Shredor, a Sanders and to this offense or a cam ward, 462 00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:29,600 this offense is going to go through the roof. 463 00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:34,880 You pair that with another receiver and free agency. 464 00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:40,760 This offense will look either average to above average, which is all they really need. 465 00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:43,320 This Giants team is not that bad. 466 00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:44,480 Like what people think it is. 467 00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:45,880 It really isn't. 468 00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:51,240 They have their foundations in the defense Dexter Lawrence, K Von Timberdome and Brian 469 00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:52,240 Burns. 470 00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:57,480 Now they have to figure out what they're going to do with the offense, which again, Brian 471 00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:03,000 Dable, one in the quarterback, he was obsessed with Jaden Daniels. 472 00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:08,680 He was, he wanted Jaden Daniels, but Joe Shane wanted to go in a different direction. 473 00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:09,960 And you know, the rest is history. 474 00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:13,920 Now that's not a slight to Malik neighbors at all because Malik neighbors has definitely 475 00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:16,160 been balling when he is available. 476 00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:20,840 But the fact of the matter is everybody knows that Daniel Jones is not good. 477 00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:25,560 Everybody knows that at this point, the Giants reached in giving him the contract that they 478 00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:29,680 gave him and that now the Giants have to rewrite that wrong. 479 00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:35,160 And now they're going to have to invest into a high pick to get a quarterback and granted, 480 00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:38,440 as of right now, if I'm not mistaken, I could be wrong. 481 00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:43,560 If the season was to end right now and the draft was in two weeks, I think the Giants 482 00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:46,040 would have a top three pick. 483 00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:53,400 So again, it's time for the Giants to be serious about the quarterback position and it's time 484 00:28:53,400 --> 00:29:01,680 for them to, you know, really choose the future because right now Daniel Jones isn't in it. 485 00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:02,680 He's not. 486 00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:04,040 And it's no slight to him. 487 00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:08,480 I understand he was battling with injuries and a variety of different things. 488 00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:14,000 But this just goes to show you of how much of an influence Seguin Barkley had on that 489 00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:20,360 offense and how much it made Daniel Jones look a whole lot better. 490 00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:24,540 But I'm just going to leave it there because if I don't, I'm going to go down a whole rabbit 491 00:29:24,540 --> 00:29:25,540 hole about it. 492 00:29:25,540 --> 00:29:27,080 So this is what I will say. 493 00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:32,160 If you guys don't know what I'm talking about, go on HBO Max and look at hard knocks for 494 00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:34,320 the Giants from start to finish. 495 00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:39,520 And then you will see exactly where I'm coming from and you will understand exactly why I 496 00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:43,000 have the opinions that I have about the Giants move forward. 497 00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:45,040 But we got football tonight, folks. 498 00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:48,560 So let's just go over the commanders and equals fairly quickly. 499 00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:49,560 Okay. 500 00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:54,600 So these are just some junky nuggets that I found from NFL Pro shout out to them and 501 00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:58,040 they're great, you know, insights and information and whatnot. 502 00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:02,360 But since week five, the commanders have generated the third highest pressure rate. 503 00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:03,360 Okay. 504 00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:08,720 On top of that, since week five also, the commanders have the seventh highest blitz rate 505 00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:10,640 at 36%. 506 00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:13,640 Now this commander's team, they're going to come at you. 507 00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:18,080 They are going to put pressure on you for four quarters nonstop and it's going to come 508 00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:21,920 from different, different players in different directions. 509 00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:24,520 Now when we look at the Eagles, right? 510 00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:31,280 Since the Eagles by Quinn, y'all Mitchell has been targeted 13.9% of snaps and only allowed 511 00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:34,440 0.6 yards per coverage. 512 00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:37,640 Quinn, y'all Mitchell is a lockdown corner. 513 00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:42,440 That is the matchup that I am looking forward to seeing Quinn, y'all Mitchell versus Terry 514 00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:43,440 McClourn. 515 00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:48,280 I cannot wait because I know it's going to be a great matchup. 516 00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:49,280 Okay. 517 00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:55,000 You have Terry McClourn who statistically speaking is having the best year of his career 518 00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:59,240 going up against the rookie and Quinn, y'all Mitchell cannot wait. 519 00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:04,600 Now the commanders are the only team who have multiple off-ball linebackers who have generated 520 00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:06,240 more than 10 pressures. 521 00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:10,440 Frankie Louvue has 16 pressures and Bobby Wagner has 13. 522 00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:15,880 Now I will be the first to say when Bobby Wagner signed with the commanders, it sort 523 00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:19,040 of did, you know, leave me a little bit questioned. 524 00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:23,960 But then when you, when you look at things, you have to remember Dan Quinn was the defensive 525 00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:27,280 coordinator for the Seahawks when they had the Legion of Boom. 526 00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:29,440 So you know, there's always a connection there. 527 00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:32,840 But so far Bobby Wagner has been balling. 528 00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:33,840 Okay. 529 00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:36,080 Him and Frankie Louvue balling. 530 00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:39,400 They have been able to constantly create pressure to mention. 531 00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:43,560 We all know that Bobby Wagner is the tackling machine that he is. 532 00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:46,640 So all in all, this is going to be great. 533 00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:49,520 This is going to be a great division rival matchup. 534 00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:54,600 Now the commanders are third in points for game at 29 and the Eagles are seventh in points 535 00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:56,280 for game at 25.9. 536 00:31:56,280 --> 00:32:02,080 Now the real question that I have is who is going to want to run the ball more? 537 00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:04,800 Who's going to want to put it up in the air more? 538 00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:11,440 That's the question that I have because again, you have two, two offenses who love to throw 539 00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:15,640 the ball as well as run the ball fairly well. 540 00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:22,160 Now the only difference is the Eagles need to run the ball, right? 541 00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:24,360 The commanders, they want to pass the ball. 542 00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:25,480 They want to put it up there. 543 00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:29,040 They want to give it to Noah Brown and Terry McClure. 544 00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:35,320 Now the question is who's going to want it more because this game is just as important 545 00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:38,320 for the Eagles as it is for the commanders. 546 00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:39,320 Okay. 547 00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:41,920 The commanders are coming off an L against the Steelers. 548 00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:45,160 The Eagles are coming off a W against the Cowboys. 549 00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:51,040 The Eagles need this because again, you want to continue to build that safety blanket, which 550 00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:55,040 is continuing to win those division rival games. 551 00:32:55,040 --> 00:33:00,920 And if they beat the commanders, this puts you in a really good place for the playoffs. 552 00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:03,640 So let's just all wait and see what happens. 553 00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:07,480 But when it in this episode here, if you guys like what you are listening, please, please, 554 00:33:07,480
