[Assistant] Well, I mean, again, I'm saying this, that's what I, I brought the Bengals twice because it's very similar. Joe Burrow was the most sacked quarterback in the NFL last year. He threw, I think, the fifth most interceptions in the NFL last year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, to Minah Brinson's point, he had other weapons to throw to where Stafford needs that Odell. He needs someone else. It can't just be Cooper Cup because he just doesn't have time to think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and that one's backfiring in their face and that I think that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, let me ask you guys this. The two Super Bowl teams, cause you guys were mocking me two weeks ago, cause the Bengals were 0-2, last place in the AFC North.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you had to pick one Super Bowl team from last year, they're both 2 and 2, that is gonna make the playoffs and one is gonna miss it. Who do you feel better about?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I mean the NFC West and AFC North both have zero teams above 500.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Falcons say we have this 2008 Miami Dolphins field where they're running this crazy little offense that no one can quite figure out and they're just gashing people up and I, you know, maybe they were.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, so you just did a whole circle to answer my original question that you think the Rams have a better shot at the playoffs than the Bengals?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think the only way they would even consider keeping Jimmy Garoppolo is if they won the Super Bowl.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What if you win the Super Bowl, Jimmy throws for 310 yards and 4 touchdowns?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't want to do that. Is that like, I'm out. The tattoo thing, except taking to the next level. Take it to the next level. Like, like, like there's no- Stuff tattoo breach.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If my wife's on the line, I'm taking the bangles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wilson, who are your three? Bengals. Come back tomorrow and I'll tell ya.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's up, everybody? Welcome to the Pick 6 Podcast, CBS Sports, daily.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] NFL podcast. I'm Orbritton. I'm your host.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is Wednesday, October 19th. If you're watching with us live on YouTube, youtube.com slash pick six Thursday, October 20th. If you are listening to the podcast.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Look, you know, you're, you're, okay, I mean, you're, you know, a little offset on the, on the old, uh, the old, uh, the old taxes at the end of the year. Yeah, that helps too. I mean,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Legal, legal guy only. So instead I will donate $1,000 for every Jets win.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] $1,000 to a charity of a podcast listener's choice for every Jets win for the rest of the season. That's right. The Jets are two in our since then, including


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Easily the most improbable win of the entire 2022 NFL season so far. Uh, and, and, um, I mean, look, you're a man of your word. You've already donated a thousand dollars. Uh, where is it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you want to get involved or make a donation, by all means, go ahead. And if you, podcast listeners, podcast viewers,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Strangers who stumbled in here via some other internet fashion, uh, jet spans. If you want to, if you were passionate about a particular charity.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let us know. Uh, we will, we prefer that people, uh, leave the name of the charity in a five star review on Apple podcasts. If you don't have that, um, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you don't have Apple Podcasts, you use Spotify or whatever, take a screenshot of Spotify five star rating and tweet at pic six pod.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're at Will Brinson or at Brady underscore Quinn and, uh, let us know your charity and, uh, you know, we'll, we'll, uh, we'll put it in the, uh, in the hopper for, for one of, I mean, how, all right, how many wins are the Jets going to have this year?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Actually, it was uhm, it was two and a half and then it was reported that Russ had a hamstring injury and it moved to two.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was, uhm, I was eating, I was, uh, I was eating, I was eating lunch with my parents, uhm, going to High Point to see my folks, and, you know, just watching, you know, watching football, we're eating, and I was like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's your level of concern for the Packers for the full season here, like on a scale of 1 to 10?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wow, that's pretty impressive. You know, uhm, I guess all the, I mean, I guess, you know, you've had...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, are you continuing to get, uh, by the way, the Jets are 10th in terms of points scored in the NFL this year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's pretty crazy to think about that. Especially with Zach Wilson missing time. Are you still getting a bunch of tweets from Jets fans?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's, that's fair. Uhm, let's see. I'm just, I'm just looking at Brady Quinn's at Brady Quinn and.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, yeah, look at you, yeah. Uhm, just at Brady Quinn and the Jets just to see what pops up. Uh, ooh, let's see. You got, uh, paired you and, um, you and, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You and Stephen A. Smith got paired in a video about the Jets.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's, there's one with the picture of you where it's like, and again, like, I want to go back to what you said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, reading your mentions. I'll do that in my own personal time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You don't like? I, I had to do, uh, actually we did, uh, I did Bill Barnwell's podcast earlier.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That your comment, you did not say the jets are going, are going to go 09.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Special teams coordinator who again got fired with a horrendous job at the Giants is now like the quarterbacks coach. Right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, somebody asked Zach George, who's too busy insulting me, but he said, uh, can we get Brady Quinn football show hats similar to Brinson sucks hats? Uh, I actually have a Brady Quinn football show t-shirt. Do you? How's that possible? Um, well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I'm a pretty, he's a professional. I'm a guy who's drunk at the bar. It's just enough to be just, but okay, first of all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And by the way, the fact that Zach George admits that he takes me seriously is just pretty embarrassing for you, Zach. Um, okay, so let's move on to something else. Actually, I'll tell you what, we'll take a quick break when we come back. Rob, Bob Kraft, Jerry Jones told Bob Kraft to something, something with an F-bomb and we'll tell you what it was next.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Seth Wickersham has been very busy. He had done Vanada to owner meet owners meeting season. And when that, when the owners are meeting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Seth and Don are writing up scoops on like what's going on in the back end. Of course, the big Dan Snyder story last week came out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That has been a key point when it comes to the, these, the owners meetings that were taking place in New York fall owners meetings. Uh, Jim mercy came out and talked for 13 minutes and said that he thinks there is a merit to, to forcing Dan Snyder to sell.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, Roger Goodell was asked about this and they said, the question was, are you, were you surprised?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, find like a, like a mosquito, but I mean, like, you know, you got to, oh my god. There it is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, do you remember Jim Earthshade's 2014, uh, DWI?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's a fair point. Did you, do you remember the, and I again, we're not, we're not judging here. We're just pointing out the facts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you remember the, uh, specifics of that, uh, specific nature of that, uh, the, the arrest, the getting pulled over?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not many people celebrate second place, but hey, you know, the calls got dragged for that, like repeatedly and still get dragged for it. By the way, here's the, here's from the, uh, I think the Indy Star article on it. I observed a vehicle traveling eastbound that appeared to be traveling at approximately 10 miles per hour in a 35 mile per hour zone. The opposite.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As I passed the vehicle, I continued to observe it in my side view mirror. I observed the vehicle come to a complete stop on West Main Street for no apparent reason. I turned my squad car around and began to drive to the vehicle's location.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As I was approaching the vehicle, it began to slowly move eastbound and came to another complete stop in the land of travel for no apparent reason.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After Ercey's vehicle began moving again, the officer noted that he observed Ercey make a right hand turn onto Horse Ferry Road without using a turn signal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's the only reason I'm taking seriously at all is because I have a deeper voice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, people say I have a raspier. I don't, I don't, I mean, I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause Jerry Jones brings like a bottle of Johnny Walker blue.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so Jerry Jones, we're just going to read according to the report from Seth Worker, Shaman, Dominata. Jerry Jones.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're discussing, uhm, Roger Goodell's compensation. And they voted 31 to 1 to, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The sources said Kraft joined the overwhelming majority in strong support for the measure to let them negotiate, with Jones the lone dissenter in the owner's only session, eventually telling Kraft, don't beep with me. Don't F with me. Kraft replied, excuse me?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't mess with me, Joan said. The measure then passed, so she said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You were like too bad and there's too bad like organizations in each AFC division.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At least, the Jetsons are clearly bad, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the NFL pay was like, we want guaranteed salaries and no more franchise tagging. The NFL is like, actually what we're going to do is add on 17th game and uh, you can smoke weed now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're like, and, and Roger Goodell won't handle discipline unless we don't like the discipline that gets handed out, then he will handle it. And they're like, deal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] NFL, like I, I agree with you in the sense that if we're measuring Roger, like being able, being able to sell the NFL product.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, as we mentioned, he also handles discipline and he said that Deshaun Watson has complied with all the terms of his suspension. Uhm, sounds like Watson is still on track.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To return from suspension. I mean, in other words, like he said, I mean, cause if, if Deshaun Watson didn't comply with those terms, they could extend the suspension or not allow him to return. Um, he is now, he's, we're approach, we're halfway there, but, um, like it sounds like, you know, Watson's on track to play, um, in Houston in week 13.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. Do you have any, uh, do you have any now there's another lawsuit that's been filed since then, but as breach pointed out previously, that lawsuit is from the same timeline as the previous lawsuits.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And under the terms of Watson's suspension, he can't be, it has to be a new lawsuit for him to be punished, I believe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But maybe it's because I, you know, I don't even want to, I don't know. It is, it is strange that you wouldn't, that you would wait until after Watson had everything been taken care of to file it unless you felt that it would create pressure on Watson to settle quickly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, or maybe, and look, it's entirely possible that whoever filed the lawsuit wasn't comfortable filing a lawsuit before.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, you know, needed, yeah, like there's a, there's a myriad of reasons why it could happen, but I do agree. The timing is odd for the lawsuit. Right. Um, Tom Brady, I should be heard of him. Yeah. Remember that time you're on the Patriot, you remember the Chris Farley show?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Remember, remember, remember when, remember that time when you were on the Beatles?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just threatening to go off on a tangent. Really just threatening Billy. First of all, Billy doesn't know who Chris Farley is, I guarantee you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you know who Chris Farley is Billy? I have no clue who that is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Have you seen, uh, uh, the do-over I think it is on Netflix with David Spade and Adam Sandler? Uh-uh. Okay, watch it. It's, I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna tell you the plot cause it'll, it'll spoil it, but uh, it is, uh, it's good. It's entertaining. It's like, and it feels a little throwback-ish because it's like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, two SNL guys, like, you know, and it's an entertaining little, uh, comedic romp. Anyway, Tom Brady. That's again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] An NFL season. I almost look at a football season. This is from his serious accent podcast. He co-host.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not sure it really, really works. And, uh, he's not wrong. All right. Let's touch on Thursday night's game. Michael Thomas.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know the same. Marshall, Latimore, Andrews, Pete and Adam Troutman are out all out Thursday for that game against the Cardinals. Deandre Hopkins is back. You in, uh, in your, your pre pro email noted that this line is a little stinky.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Cardinals are minus two, totals 44. It is in Arizona.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I don't know if you got it cause, so like on the double XP weekend?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The double XP weekend is like, it's, anywho.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, yeah, so continue. So do you think the Cardinals are like a playoff sleeper?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I mean, looking at the schedule, scroll down a little bit, Billy, you know, you see, this is a huge game Thursday for them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You need to, you need to beat, if you could scroll down, thank you, Billy, uh, beat New, there you go, uh, beat New Orleans at home.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You get a mini by 10 days before you go at Minnesota. That's in a dome, tough place to play, but you know, it's not going to deal with bad weather or anything like that. Um, Seattle at home.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At the Rams, San Francisco at home, Chargers at home before your week 13 by like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, they could eat it. I don't, they haven't scored enough points for me to suggest that they are going to be, um.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anything more than three and three in those games, but four and two in that stretch is not out of control. And then all of a sudden you're six and six going in the bind. You have a real chance to make a push down the stretch because the NFC is going to be there's going to be a bad team coming out of the NFC in the playoffs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cardinals minus two is such an obvious, I want the Cardinals, like, but then you're, then, it's, it's like, the Cardinals are an obvious bet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would just don't know what the deal with Jameis and Andy Dalton, like whether it's gonna be like, maybe even take some Hill, you know, it's just, we don't, we don't know how, we don't know how that's going to shake out in terms of how they use the quarterback, like what quarterback is going to start, how they're healthy enough. And the Saints are missing a lot of people. I wouldn't be surprised if that line went to three this afternoon, uh, just because of, you know, because, because of all the injuries, like Marshall and Lattimore and all those players are a big deal. I mean, like you're getting back and no Lattimore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pete Prisco doesn't have them and they're tiny. And you gotta go, uh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, it's funny about, and people don't get to see this because you can't see behind the, behind the set.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But when Pete's sitting up on those little chairs, like at the set, it's the funniest thing in the world because he's got these little legs that are just like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like just kicking like wildly. Like if you can get Pete all worked up, he's like his little legs are flailing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nobody thinks that you're like the same size as Pete Prisco. Right. Or that Pete is like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pete, you're, you're, when you, when you sit down on the toilet, like, your feet don't touch the ground, like, what are you ragging on me?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All right, Brady, it's always a pleasure, buddy. Thanks for hopping by. Talk to you soon, man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's up everybody? Welcome to the big six podcast, CBS sports daily NFL podcast. I'm Will Brinton. I'm your host. If you're listening to the podcast is Thursday, October six. You're watching live on youtube, youtube.com slash pick six. It's Wednesday, October 5th, which means it's a


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, several weeks to, to celebrate and soak in a man becoming a tying the seventh most term runs in a single season in MLB history. You, you really have to do. Did you know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but when, when that happened, baseball lost so many fans because they're like, you could just, you're just going to, or you're just going to not play baseball. Okay. Whatever. Like we're not in for this. And so that's why MLB in my opinion,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When Sosa and McGuire started blasting the bonds, you know, these guys are just cranking her runs and like there's interest back in baseball. It's on the cover of sports illustrated. It's all anyone's talking about in the talk shows like, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The nascent talk show, nascent sports talk shows. It's like the home run chase, the battle. And it's like, like you guys were complicit. Baseball is a hundred percent complicit in like they didn't know what they were doing. These dudes had giant heads.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But do you remember like what, I mean, people forget like Barry Bonds in 92, right? Sid Breen, one of my favorite memories of all time. Sid Breen, national league, national league championship series.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, Sid Bream beats out Barry Bonds' arm. If you go back and watch Barry Bonds in 92, that dude was skinny.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like when, uh, Damo Sweeney's like, do we already, do we talk about Damo Sweeney before?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think so, because I went back and listened to it and I think you may have said it on your radio show?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On apple podcast and write what charity you want to see. So you can go ahead and leave the five star review now because it takes a few little couple days to populate with a charity that you that you want Brady to donate to. It could be a few weeks before Brady's donating


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, with you having gone ahead and done the, like a philanthropic thing and bridged the gap and really taking a step forward and healing, uh, I want to point out that you're actually correct. The, are the Jets at two and two, are they closer to four and O or O and four?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I, I, I will point out there that like with these, with the fans.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And this is good and it's good because it means, now granted it's a little crazy, but it's good that NFL fans are passionate about their teams.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On HQ, uhm, I was asked this preseason, are there, give us some possible week one upsets.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I list the Patriots as a possibility, uh, Patriots over the Dolphins as a possible upset in week one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Three point spread, not crazy. The two of hype had been a little out of control. And I also, granted, I did say that the Dolphins beat writers are a little more enthusiastic about their, about their particular team than some other beat writers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It got turned into, it got turned into, I hate the Dolphins, I hate to, uh, I think the Dolphins are gonna stink this year. It's like, no, I, my employer simply said, give us a list of possible week one upsets. And I said the Patriots and Bill Belichick might upset the Dolphins. Did they? No, of course not. The Dolphins are three in one now and I'm catching eternal crap for it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Favorite Chevy chase movie, but it was pretty good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's probably, for people, someone who's like three or four years older than me, it was like their absolute wheelhouse. We got the reciprocal, or the trickle-down effect from like older brothers and older cousins, and then you probably got into it as like a sub-champion. Anyway, you know they did a new Fletch movie.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. So it's, it's, they didn't do it as like, cause first of all, Fletch lives. The actual sequel was pretty disastrous. Everybody. This is called Apologizer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is it, uh, confess comma fletch. I didn't realize until he was on the manning cast on Monday night and he was like, yeah, I've been this new, uh, this new flesh. Maybe I started Googling it. The director was like furious. They're not advertising for it at all. And he's like, I can't understand why they did a really good job with it though. I thought.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like not to, they're not trying to be just like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The original Fletch, it's like trying to like kind of like, you know, in a similar vein without being a direct copy. Cause you know what, I rewatch Fletch in the last 24, 48 hours too. Like you just can't be as funny as Chevy Chase was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, anyway, football talk. Yeah. Yeah, that's football. So that's right. Uh, I do like how we always like, there's always, um,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just by the nature of like this, you know, you being a former football player, like we'll, we'll, we'll talk like dumb stuff for like 25 minutes and then like suddenly you'll be like, so that's when the cover three guys shifts down and comes across like it's good. It's a nice combination.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We should note that Jonathan Taylor for the cults, uh, is out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This week, the cult have ruled him out, uh, whether you're listening or watching that is important information. It's kind of crazy that, um, so Jonathan Taylor and Christian McCaffrey were the consensus, like one or two picks in fantasy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cults are not two and two, so we can't lump them into the two and two question, but, uh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jaguars and titans are about two and two. Where do you, what do you think about the AFC South as a whole? Like I think the Jaguars can, I don't, I'm not saying they'll definitely win it. I think they can.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do they, do they look a lot like, I mean, I'm not, I'm not blaming this on Matt Ryan, but they look, they look a lot like the 2021 Falcons.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, do you think there's a chance that somebody asked you this? I can't remember if it was on radio or we're talking about the podcast, but is there a chance that Jim Urshay


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's like, puts his blame on Chris Ballard and Frank Reich and cancer both. I think there is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Flushed. I think I flushed under the sun.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's true, and the injuries. They didn't have a first round.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I've been playing well and I was getting hurt, I'd be like, yeah, I've made a mistake. I gotta get back to Darius.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I'd probably just be like, I'd probably just just call me Darius. I don't think he actually, it was, it was always Shaq. He didn't, he just, he just didn't correct anybody when they started calling him Darius.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, yeaah, yeaah, yeaah, yeaah, yeaah, yeaah, yeaah, yeaah, yeaah, yeaah, yeaah, yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Quiddipay, they took it 21 the year before, no first round pick the year before that because of the, uh, DeForest Buckner trade and no first round pick the year before that because they traded theirs to, uh, the Jets, I believe. Am I wrong on that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, they've gotta be good. Anyway, uhm, my larger point was that the...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They've drafted well, but they haven't had the opportunity to draft a quarterback.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's, and they've, they've made these trades and it's been fine, but at some point you're going to have to get.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. I mean, if you're going to, you know, I mean, that's what I was saying too last year is like, if you're, if they were going to be bad with Carson Wentz.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think there's some playing time incentives for Matt Ryan in terms of the draft pick compensation, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like if, if you're gonna be, if you're gonna be bad, you should sit him and get, and keep a better pick so you don't have to give up as good a pick. Like that's what they should have done with, with wins. They were, they could have gone to the playoffs and they went in week 18. So like, I don't blame them for playing them. But, okay, do you want to hear, I'll tell you what, we're going to take a quick break and when we come back, I'm going to tell you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The most ridiculous news of the day. It is going to make you so mad. We're going to do that next.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All right. This is an actual headline. You're gonna be, I don't know if you've seen this yet or not. The fact this is from TMZ Sports. Oh gosh. The fan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who was leveled by Bobby Wagner after running on the field during running at football. This week has now filed a police report over the incident.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's Kevin Harlan was actually calling the smoke bomb for Westwood one too. That, that, that, that the pull up your pants thing is from another person going on the.

[Assistant] That's actually from this game. That's a shout out. Nice, nice pull.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anyway, uh, the, uh, the other thing too is like, I'm pretty sure that on the ticket


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like there's a whole host of terms and conditions like in which you can't like, you know, I mean if something happens in the stadium, that's because from an exit standpoint, but like if you go on the field, you are inherently trespassing. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And by the way, uh, also sort of trespassing at like, uh, sporting events. Uh, you, you're, you're, you know, you probably, you like raging against the machine. Yeah, of course. Love rage, right? Yeah. Well, you know that they had to cancel the rest of their North American tour because Zach de la Roca, the lead singer,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tor his Achilles when a fan ran on stage, he was trying to knock him off. This jackass is trespassing. He said he had 8% of his Achilles remaining intact. So he was doing the show in a chair. I saw him in Raleigh. He was in a chair. It was crazy energy for a guy with a torn Achilles. Um, but like


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Go back to the selfish part. This guy who just had to run on stage at the Rage concert has now ruined the rest of the tour for everyone else.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By the way, I love how I'm like telling people not to be selfish and draw attention to themselves. Like the day after telling, did I tell you the story about doing the tiger walk at Clemson? You know what the tiger walk is?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's just keep walking. It's much faster than walking through the crowd. It's true. And, uh, and nobody was stopping us. So I started yelling. I was like, go back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, exactly. Right. I got laid out like Bobby Wagner. All right. Uhm, let's talk some football.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause I gotta, we gotta be done at three o'clock and we're gonna squeeze it. Probably gonna go a little over. Okay. Uhm, best two and two team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm going to give you a list. Do you buy or sell on these two and two teams? Or do you want to talk about two and two teams or do you want to talk too? I talked about two or two.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Buy or sell? Well, we already talked about the Jaguars. You're sort of selling them. No, I'm buying them. Okay, you're buying.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're losing at Green Bay, probably losing it. Anyway, we're selling, uhm, the Atlanta Falcons. We referenced them. Buy or sell the Atlanta Falcons.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I mean, I think with the Falcons too, like it's weird that they've done this without Kyle Pitts being prominently involved. Um, it seems like they.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we're selling, but we like what they're doing long-term. Do you think, how much of an impact do you think that has?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like this sort of performance, I think, I think it matters a ton. Like, like ownership, Arthur blank. Do you think he's seeing this and thinking, man,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, like you want to re, you want to not reinvest, but you don't, you don't find yourself wondering, do I need to reboot again? You start thinking, okay, these guys might have it on the right path.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, you mentioned that you like the Titans. It's obvious buy on the Titans, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I think Mike Vrabel loves Ryan Tannehill, so I've had people try and tell me that he doesn't and I don't know why they think that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I mean, yeah, I, I, I don't know. I just, I thought it was a weird claim to have people be like, oh, I don't know. I don't think Rayval likes Tanael. Rayval loves Tanael. Yeah. He's like, he's hard-nosed. He's quiet. He works his ass off. He's a good leader. Like, yeah, he loves him. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cardinals, Arizona Cardinals, and your boy, Cliff Kingsbury, buying and selling them at 202. They're tough ones.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I didn't include the Rams on our list of two and two teams because I was going to ask about the offensive line. What? What do the Rams do here? Because


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They've lost games of the 49ers and the Bills, you know, so it is maybe like, it is, I think, take a little bit, like take everybody take a breath. Let's not panic. Those are two teams, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just go get an extra pork chop. All right. Michael Parsons and the, uh, and the Dallas Cowboys this week. The Panthers are actually pretty good against the pretty good rushing the passage the week after. And then the 49ers and the Buccaneers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, uhm, the other one, the Denver Broncos, buyer sale Denver Broncos attuned to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just- Your wife is making fun of your, like, do you think we get fined for, like, jokingly leaping?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Little, little, little, little bit like, like, like when the keeper dives out to like stop a little dribbler, like it's like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, I think that's, I think that's what they should do, honestly. Like, like, like when you lose and you lose because of him, you know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By the way, do you think, uh, we get the same, you predicted this correctly and I, I, I, I, I pump, I, I, you know what, I was about to make a self-suck joke and everybody was going to backfire badly in my face. Um, but the, I, I hyped you up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Every time I would do a radio hit or like do it, you know, do any kind of, you know, people would ask me, we're like, why did Ross look so bad? I'm like, you can go listen, pick six podcasts. Brady Quinn explained it. That hand injury, you're just not going to come back and be effective that quickly. Do you think Dak is that the what's his range where you think he'll.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it'll probably be a problem for him for most of the year, honestly, but like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like trying not to giggle, because as soon as you said when the balls hit your hand, uhm, the, uh, yeaah, I, I, I was like, first of all, I kind of started to giggle, but then like immediately in the chat, in the YouTube chat, the adult dating bot, the adult dating site bot came flying in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, algorithm based on like the sound, I always assumed it was just like if a video is popular, maybe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe that's why they're always in our chat is because we're constantly making.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't bother. Uhm, okay, we're gonna play one read between the lines and we'll get out of here. Because I think this is funny. I think it's funny.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She don't play some spectacular football. Coach Pete Carroll said via the team's official website, spectacular football, not just the throwing and the catching the command of the game and running the whole show. He did an incredible job and he ran the ball too for 50 yards or something. Fantastic day. I don't know how you could do a whole lot more, play a whole lot better than that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To me, it's just like, F you, Russ. Oh, look at you. You suck. And I self suck. That's right, Russ. Uh, he definitely is like hyping himself up, hyping Gino up. But I think it is like these, like these comments, anytime he's hyping up Gino, there's some like direct in his head, he's thinking about Russell. Like he's

[Assistant] So if you have a charity you're passionate about, go to Apple Podcast.

[Assistant] That's right, uh, Victor Garcia in the chat says, please Jets go 15 to 2. That would be, it would be amusing. Thank you. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, uh, yeah, that's right. But it is, uh, that is unlikely and, um, fortunately for Brady.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How many more wins do you think they get this season?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By the way, one more quick thing that we'll get out of here. Uhm, a fascinating update that only you will care about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My son, Robbie, eight years old, he likes to get, he likes to take the phone of whoever picks him up from school and text, he likes to text gifts, right? But you know what else he started doing?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Voice notes. You sent me like 50 voice notes. I got a voice note right here from him. It's like three seconds long. I'm not going to hit play because I'm scared. It's like something. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dad F you! Yeah, pretty much. Yeah, or he's probably like you sussy baka.

[Assistant] Yeah, I'll send you a voice note back afterwards. Thank you. Alright Brady, thanks as always. Good chat. Talk to you soon buddy. We'll see ya. Bye.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Welcome to the Pick Six Podcast, everybody. A little Thursday night recap action. A fantastic football game, John Breach. It's me, Ryan Wilson. Uh, Will Brinson, parts unknown. Um, Breach, my voice sounds a little raspy. It's because I was the PA announcer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At the JB Soccer game tonight. And I will, if I have to be honest with you, I was amazing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So listen to this quick story, uh, the JV team won 7-0. There was a player on the other team and I, I,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not quite a billion boy, uh, in this game on Thursday night, but maybe if you pool their resources by the time they retire.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Justin Herbert, Patrick Holmes, and of course Chase Daniel. They'll be worth a billion dollars. Uhm, slow start.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fantastic finish. A lot of questions, mostly about my boy Brandon Staley and what's going on with his fourth down play call sheet. What was your biggest takeaway, John?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From a game in which Justin Herbert was 2-0 in Arrowhead coming into this game against the Chiefs, had never thrown an interception against the Chiefs in those two games through seven touchdowns, uh, and the Chargers ended up losing in the most Chargers way ever, 27-24 at the final whistle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can I, can I push back on the pick six because you talked about this on HQ and I think everyone would agree. Gerald Everett wanted to come out of the game because he was exhausted because he caught 12 passes on the drive it felt like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, he made zero to negative effort on the throw that went right to Jaylen Warren. Credit to Jaylen Warren, seventh round rookie out of Washington state. Huge play on the biggest stage of the week, uh, three years ago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My man was working at a Wendy's trying to figure out how he was going to get back into football. Shout out to Dane Bruegler for that fun fact from his, uh, annual beast guide, uh, each spring. But you have to make an exception for that touchdown because if Gerald Everett


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Had 50% more energy. I feel like that's probably a touchdown. But I take your overall point in that it felt like something changed because the offense looked a little less, um, explosive after halftime for the Chargers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What was the turning point in the game for you? Because this felt like if it were a 30 minute football game, the Chargers were going to roll.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I think that's right. And I think probably, depending on what happens in the next few days, medically the biggest play might be the tackle by, or the takedown by Dana on the chargers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It looked harmless enough, but obviously Justin Herbert's ribs disagreed later in the fourth quarter and he was absolutely banged up. He did the old, uh, Daniel from Karate Kid and toughed it out. Daniel, what's Daniel's last name?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Daniel, he pulled the ol' Daniel LaRusso and tufted out through a fa- an incredible touchdown pass at the end of that game, uh, a laser to DeAndre Carter. By the way, DeAndre Carter undrafted out of Sacramento State 2015. Do you know how many teams


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rosters he has been on, not necessarily, uh, game bay rosters, but


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How many teams he's been associated with? Let me put it to you that way, since 2015.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, seven. Nine. Whoa! Big week last week, three catches, uh, for 60 something yards, I believe in a touchdown. Huge game on Thursday night. They, they found a diamond in the rough there. So that's, that's fun for him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not so fun for Justin Herbert, depending on how this injury works out. Uh, we actually got to see Chase Dayle's magnificent beard as he warmed up. I haven't seen him, uh, his sideline shot in a while. He, I don't want to say he looked nervous. He actually looked...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If tonight was any indication, Justin Herbert can deal with the pain, I thought for me it was officially over on the play before the touchdown throw, which incidentally I believe was on a fourth down, wasn't it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The play before that on third and one or third and two from midfield when Justin Herbert could have basically moonwalked for a first down and he


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The man who was taking over Brandon Staley's body. You mentioned on ASQ, I think there were three times they had third and short, uh, fourth and short, excuse me, and he punted every single time. I think he went for it. I made notes. He went for it on one occasion. I'll just go through the notes real quick. First drive, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fourth and two at the plus 13 yard line and the Chargers kick a field goal. How'd you feel about that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't often say this, but I think he might be right. I think he probably, on some levels in his own head, whether he would say that out loud or not, he just did his press conference, can't hear it obviously because I'm talking to you, I would imagine the question was asked, let me know if you see it on Twitter, uh, but maybe he just


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's living rent free in his own head. By the way, we talked about the third drive, the fourth and two from the plus 47 with the punt and then you mentioned the subsequent drive, fourth and two from the plus 48 where they punted as well. Chargers did both times. The drive in between that that the Chiefs had, fourth and inches at their own 29, KC punted. Any point there,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fourth and inches with patching my homes. Clyde Edwards, a lair. Isaiah Pacheco, it seems like he's a guy worth mentioning. Sonya Michelle, there you go for it on your own. 29ers at two, two bowls even for Andy Reidian or Brandon Salem.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so the halftime score was 10 to 7. So, uh, the under hit, somehow the over hit by the time the game was over, which is pretty funny. Also, if you had Chargers plus 4, which I did, that hit, uhm, how'd you do on the picks to start the week 2 breach? Are you still in first place? I did not pick the Chargers to cover the spread.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes! Alright, so let's go to the second half. 10-7, the Chargers are leading, uh, by the skin and the teeth. First drive is the, it looked great, everything's still clicking, the Mike Williams one-handed catch. By the way, Mike Williams had two catches last week. Uh, he made it for that in the first series, it felt like, uh, by the time this thing was over, he had...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Eight catches, 113 yards, one touchdown. Uh, so that was noteworthy. So great touchdown catch, uh, for him to make a 17-7. The very next drive for the Chiefs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It sure felt like Asante Samuel Jr. had that interception. He bobbled it, went off his knee, looked to catch it, and of course they had to put it under the microscope of scrutiny and someone somewhere saw the ball hit the ground and move. I thought it was an interception. What'd you think?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, you're actually sort of stuttering like the prime broadcast tonight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By the way, it didn't start it for me. I had no issues with it. People were whinging all over the internet about it. I thought it was, um, I actually enjoyed it, but maybe that's because I'm an old person. I know you said that it was faster on your computer than your, than your television. Maybe that's because you forgot to crank up your television. I don't know, but I thought, uh, it was pretty, and also I thought Herbsted did great. Like he's a college guy. I was wondering how much of the NFL he would be up on. Good job. He did a great job.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not all aspects, Breach. They didn't have any special teamers there. No JP leads.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So here, here's why I bring up the Asante Samuel Jr. Interception. That wasn't, I thought it was, you weren't sure, you thought it wasn't. That drive ends with that 41 yard touchdown pass to Watson, the tight end, when J.C. Jackson got turned around, made it 17, 14 chargers at that point with...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I don't want to underplay it at all. It was incredibly important. I'm not sure it should have happened. I think perhaps the interception should have superseded that. There was also the interception


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the first half where they called defensive pass interference, it looked like offensive pass interference, uh, and a mugging, but that, that also was sort of a strange call, but, uh, that got less pushback. It felt like on social media, make it that way. You will. So let's see the second drive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Chargers get a fourth and two on 33 yard line and they punt the drive after the Watson touchdown, the 41 yard touchdown pass to Watson from a Holmes. So they punt again on fourth and two from the 33.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is a pattern, and I think you're right. I think probably Brain is Daily. I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know how involved Dean Spano says, we don't hear him being as involved as say Jerry Jones, for example.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I don't know if he would have a conversation with Brandon Saylor. Brandon Saylor just took it upon himself because I know Brandon Saylor is very interested in statistics, obviously, and he reads a lot and all that other stuff. He's a smart dude. And, um, it's just weird to me that if you believe in science, which is a conversation we've had over the last 24 months.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That you suddenly sorta turn away from science based on one data point. You know what I'm saying?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By the way, shout out to Brian J in the comments. He noticed that I was drinking not only a La Croix, not a hard call, key lime baby! So, uh, to your point, Breach, if you are...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Going against what you believe in. You've basically gone from, uh, hot new coach to Mike McCarthy. Right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so that's where we're at. He's a, he's a younger version of Mike McCarthy. Yes, we sit here. Uh, that's not where you want to be, Brandon. So get back to being Brandon. Uh, so what about, here's, so third quarter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Late in the game, uh, late in the third quarter, 1.17 to go, uh, the Chiefs still trailing 17-14 to this point. Uh, they're driving though, and then Derwin James body slams Travis Kelsey.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And as our buddy Todd Furman put on Twitter, if someone had done it to any quarterback in the NFL, they'd be, they'd go straight to prison. Uh, but he body slams Travis Kelce another


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Chargers teammate appears to try to strip the ball from Travis Kelsey. It looked like maybe he did. We didn't get another look at it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wonder if that's something that perhaps should have been taken a closer look at if your brain is staling in because that's a huge, that's the Jalen Warren turnover situation, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, fair enough. So, uh, first down there, three plays later, fourth and goal from the one to start the fourth quarter. Still 17-14, Chargers lead. What do you think the Chiefs do?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not go for it. What is going on? Is this 1967? Why is no one going for it on fourth down?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I guess, but again, uhm, I would, let me put it this way. If this were uhm, the Bengals playing the, the, the,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Chiefs, for example, let's say Chiefs and Chargers, or either team. The Bengals are playing one of these teams, or the Steelers are playing one of these teams, and the score is exactly the same in that situation, the same. I'm angry at Mike Tomlin. I would imagine you're angry at Zach Taylor or no.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If only you had Patrick Mahomes with us. Oh, he does. Okay. So also something worth noting, and we should have mentioned this earlier, you mentioned an ace cube, but part of the reason that the offense probably started to splutter for the Chargers in the second half, um,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Corey Linsley went out at halftime, the center. A clap came in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Trey Pipkins, the right tackle went out to start the fourth quarter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Storm Norton came in and Storm Norton, uh, struggled mightily last year to the point that I felt bad for him. So he came in, um, the floodgates didn't necessarily open. That's not why I don't think, um,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Justin harbour got hurt. I thought clap did pretty well, uh, for what I watched, you know, as a casual observer, paying attention to the centers during a live football game, uh, early on in the second half.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I didn't see any huge issues with Norton, but I'm sure that complicated things for the offense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so let's see. I'm going just through here. Next to Chargers Drive, after the KC kicks a field goal, they get down to, oh this is it, they get down to the three yard line, Jalen Lever does all those great things to get to that point, and then Jalen Warren makes that pick six.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fantastic. Officially 96 yard dot 99, is that right? Is that what you said, Breach?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's right. They showed the replay and you could see in the replay of the actual pick six,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It seems like, you know, you talked about it, uhm, and they talked about it on the telecast.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Gerald Everett seemed to have inside leverage on Jalen Warren. I think that's what Justin Herbert thought. And then for some reason he like, he lost his mind. Gerald Everett just slid towards the sidelines and stepped out of the way for Jalen Warren to catch it. And as soon as Jalen Warren caught it, it was almost like Gerald Everett said, you know, my bad. He sort of gestured at himself as he picked up his mouthpiece off the ground.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and then poor Justin Herbert had to try to make the tackle. So that was, uh, you said it earlier, that was the turning point. You can point fingers wherever you like, whether the timeout wasn't called, whether Joel Jefferson sucked it up for one more play.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, what, whatever, but at the end of the day, that was the game changer and that made it, uh, 24 17 because luckily they kicked the field goal to tie it. Um, and it worked out in that instance. It did work out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, so let's see. Oh, another one. 902 to fourth quarter. Uhm, so far to that point with nine minutes left in the fourth quarter trailing by seven at this point for the Chargers. Chargers were four, twelve and third down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So Eckler gets stuffed, it's fourth and four from the minus 31, 828 now at this point to go, and LA punts. Okay with that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's fine, they get the ball back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then with five minutes to go in the fourth quarter, Herbert converts, uh, the third down to, to Everett again, who actually came back and played well once he got rested and he heard it. That's when he heard his rips. So he had to come out. He looked, I mean, I was worried when he was writhing around in pain that that was a wrap.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, he comes in after City 1 play out, throws a high in completion and gets crushed by Frank Clark and he's again writhing around on the turf, understandably so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Third and sixth, I almost picked the ball in the middle of the field of Mike Williams. Whoever the receiver was to Mike Williams right about five yards was wide ass open. But it just looked like at that point, Justin Herbert felt like I trust Mike. I want to get off the field because this hurts really bad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, 4th and 6th from their own 38 with 4 or 3 to go. Charger's punt. Okay with that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And this one came back to bite old, uh, Brandon and the Boo Boo, as they like to say, because get the punt down to the 15. Yay. Uh, Clyde Edwards' layer rips off a 50 yard run and the 50 yard run started with him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it goes from the minus 15 to the plus 18 in the span of the time it took Clyde Edwards to literally run down the field. So literally in one play they erased the punt, plus some. So, again, and I wonder if Brandon Staley was watching that going.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] MF'er, I, I gotta get back to what I'm doing. I wonder if he'll change, because we talked about this last week in the game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, so we'll see. I'm interested to see what happens going forward in terms of that. So, Staley used his first timeout at 3.45. You're the timeout guy. Is that a good time to use the first timeout, 3.45 in the fourth quarter?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So Casey throws on second down incomplete because why not? Um, and then there's a, yeah, that was weird. Uh, and then a short game, um, on the next play. So the, the Chargers call their second time out, 324 to go and then Kansas City kicks a field goal. Amadillo smokes it. He actually had a good night. The rental kicker as, as Al Michaels kept calling him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's what happened. So uhm, they do get the ball back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And this is when Herbert looks like he is, like he is struggling. Uh, the third one I already mentioned right before the two minute warning, um, he threw that ball into the turf after he could have run for the first down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, you figure your legs still work if your, if your side hurts, but he, I think it must've hurt so badly when he did the fake, uh, the arm pump that he's like, I'm out man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Very next play comes back and throws an absolute C to Deandre Carter down the field, down to the KC seven. Uh, and then he doubles down on a, on a great touchdown throw to Josh Palmer. A few plays later, one 11 to go 27, 24. Now the Chargers.

[Assistant] The first, I couldn't get the number, the first defender muffed it, the first person on the return team muffed it and Noah Gray fell on it. So it was a short hop and actually worked out perfectly or close to perfectly. It wasn't perfect cause I didn't get the ball back, but it gave them the best opportunity. Um, cause typically, I mean, what is the recovery rate? It's like less than 10%, isn't it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The takeaway for me is the fourth quarter peculiarities based on last season for Brandon Staley. I'm not worried about the Chiefs. Last year I was worried about them when they were three and three. I think they look better now than they did a year ago without. So I'll mention this in the comments.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Better, worse, same. What do you take on a cheetah list?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here's where I remind you that I have the Chiefs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you have the chargers, or does Princeton have the chargers? I don't want to talk about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I'd be fine with the Chargers. I mean, they should have won that game, but we've been saying that for... I do have the Chargers. Week in and week out. Alright, let's go quickly over the schedules. Again, you and Tyler Sullivan talked about this on the, on the picks, uh, excuse me, on the HQ. So, oh my God, if the Chiefs had won this game, they would have been...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Five and oh heading into their week six matchup against the Russell Willsons. Instead, they are one and one next week. Host the Jaguars.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, the Lovey Smiths, I'm, I'm, I mean, talking about conservative play calling, I don't think Brandon says it's going to be our conservative play called in that game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I guess, okay, so, and we'll go through the other game real quick, at Cleveland. So at Houston, at Cleveland, I feel like they, they win those games. The caveat, the asterisk is,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What if old Justin Herbert is banged up and requires, let's just hypothetically say, what if he misses two weeks? Oh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you got Chase Daniel, who, I mean, the man has made $41 million throwing 8 touchdown passes over a 40 year career. Uh, good for him. But...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he hasn't been bad, you know, based on the recollection of him playing whenever that was years ago. So I don't know what that looks like now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But that certainly changes the math for Jacksonville at Houston at Cleveland, correct?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's the, that's the thing that sucks about real life football is that when people get hurt, it changes the expectations you may have had. So, uh, Easton Sick is still on the roster. North Dakota State's own. I think North Dakota or South Dakota? Yeah, North Dakota. North Dakota State's own Easton Sick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so let's see, uh, Brandon Saley says Justin Herbert is okay. We'll know more Friday after the rib injury. Let's see exactly what he said in the postgame press.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just said he's okay. All right. Well, let's hope that means he's going to play. I mean, I'm okay, but I can't play quarterback next week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, and also, um, rib injuries, I don't think you'd do anything. You'd just have to wait it out. I'm no doctor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, you're no doctor, but that's, that's true as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, let's see, Daniel Popper, who covers the Chargers, does he cover the Athletic? Yea, the Athletic. Uh, also just tweeted out, uhm, a few minutes ago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so let's look quickly at the Chief's schedule.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I don't think they had any injuries to speak of. Certainly didn't feel like it. Uh, no one mentioned during the telecast. So now they're 2-1-0.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At Colts, I mean. It's tough. I'm so down on the Colts now based on the way they played last week. Like Matt Ryan wasn't the boost of energy I was hoping. I know that made Devo's weak because Carson Wentz was vindicated in Washington. So at Colts, how do you feel about that? I would probably pick the


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All right. The week after that at Tampa. Now Tampa had five receivers on the injury report earlier this week. Um, I mean, I would imagine things might change in two weeks, but that's not a good sign after, uh, this demolishment, excuse me, of the Cowboys last week. What do you think that game looks like in week four? I think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the toughest game you tell me of the next three games at Colts at Tampa or hosting the Raiders. Uh, I'll say at Colts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Really? Yea. I was actually thinking Aunt Tamper, maybe even the Raiders.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, interesting. Okay. Well, this schedule is certainly tougher on the front end than the Chargers. If Justin Herbert's fine, I think that holds. If not, then perhaps the Chargers schedule is tough because it doesn't matter who they're playing if Justin Herbert is not there. But, uhm, great game. Uhm, like, it started slow, but then things got really exciting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thoroughly enjoyed it. I enjoyed the Amazon Prime Telecast. Anything you wanted to add?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can I give you two names? No. One. Dang it. I'm gonna go with...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's, it's either one or the other. I'm going to go with Brian Hoyer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jacoby got hurt in the Steelers game and Brian Hoyer had to come in, so I wasn't sure if it was before or after that game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All right, I'll give you a fun fact then. Uh, this was the first time in human history, this game here, the Thursday night extravaganza that the Kansas City punted four times in a home game that my home started.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I agree with that and I think I made a note of that. So, uhm, assuming that Justin Herbert's healthy, do you feel any differently about these seams than you did five hours ago?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, yeaah. You're worried about this Colts game. Alright, well that would be fun for me and you, given our picks. Uhm, I, I, I wanna see what Brandon Staley does in terms of his play calling going forward, specifically on 4th down. Uhm, but otherwise I feel fine about both teams or about where I thought they would be. I just thought the Chargers should have won this football game. I would imagine the Chargers feel similarly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He did look like a separate wife too when they showed a close up of Staley's face, like he didn't, like the Manchurian candidate, like he wasn't quite himself. No emotion. Yeah. Interesting. All right. Something to keep an eye on. Uh, anything else, Dima, that we need to promote?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, that's a wrap for the O Thursday night podcast. Chargers lose to the Chiefs, 27 to 24. Uh, Breach Night will be back on Sunday night for the old eight hour recap show. Uh, until then people, um, I don't know, keep it real.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, he's, he's not going out for that kick unless, the Broncos aren't attempting that kick unless he said he could make it. So he obviously feels comfortable kicking that ball. Otherwise they wouldn't have attempted it. And so I'm sure he hit something near that range or around that range in warmups that made him think he could get that. And to his credit, the kick was close. It was close, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, as I wrote on Twitter, the, the tweet that, for instance, it is making fun of is,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There have only been two field goals in NFL history of 64 yards or more. That is the lowest of the low percentage possibilities. Analytics, however you want to look at this, this is an improbable kick. You do not send your kicker out there in the loudest stadium in the country on the road to attempt a 64 yard field goal with the game on the line.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, first, Brandon McManus is 12.5% on kicks of 60 or more yards, one for eight. So I don't know where they're getting 30% from. And then if you go from, uh, 64 yards or longer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All NFL kickers in history are 2 for 41, which is 4.9%. So I don't know in what world, uh, they're getting 30% chance on a 64 yard field. Let's, let's, let's wait for ESPN stats and then for it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, we know I'm the field goal guy and I love field goals, but I'm going for it with Russell Wilson. I trade all my drafts at Russell Wilson. I'm letting Russell Wilson go for it on fourth and five.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you'd still get it back, because you would have been left with about 55 seconds, and then...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Go for it. You have for us, Wilson. It was straight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Brian Dable equivalent would have been if, uh, the Giants got called for a 15 yard penalty on the two point conversion and then still went for two from the 20 yard line.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, I cannot even believe. And the thing is, it was so bad. The whole end of the game decision making sequence was so bad that we're...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They've been completely overshadowed by just possibly the worst decision making by a coach ever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I mean, it's pretty clear that Pete Carroll and Russell Wilson were not on the same page at any point that Russell Wilson


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then, uh, you're gonna clash, and I think that's what happened, and eventually the two just had to go their separate ways. I mean, even this game, Geno was...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On fire and, and they cut, they only threw 10 passes in the second half. So, you know, it is, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pete's thinking we have the lead, we're just gonna run the clock out and uh, play defense and hopefully that's enough.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To be honest, this game didn't deter. Like, I don't feel worse for that pick. I mean, yes, they lost and that's horrible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But when you fumble twice on the one yard, these are things that haven't happened in 40 years. It takes 40 year events for you to lose. So to me that says they played a good game. They made two dumb mistakes. Their coach made the worst call of all time. And if those three things don't happen, the Seahawks probably are probably.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, if you want to swap out the Saints, I will not let him swap out the Jacks. He can swap out one of his top four.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is crazy, but that's how ridiculous and absurd it is that he attempted this field goal, uhm, and Debo threw it in there that he said after the game that, uh, Brandon McManus' max range was 64 yards and that even, and this is the crazy part,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can't believe Russ was like calling out. And not two since 2002 in NFL history, ever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I write long. I like to write. You're a writer. You should do more long form, Brinton.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This, the Seahawks played awesome, everything they did was awesome, but I feel like if these two teams played ten times, the Broncos win seven of them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And real quick, this completely overshadowed a pretty phenomenal second half performance by the Broncos defense. I think they gave up less than 40 yards.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not even 200 yards, so it's not like they were great. They put up 176 in the second half.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But when you outgain someone 176 to 34,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what the crazy, I always root for teams to try long field goals cause I love watching long field goal attempts and I, so I wanted the kick to go in, in that sense because


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was thinking, oh, McManus could hit the second longest field goal in NFL history. This would be so cool to watch. So like the historical part of me wanted to see it go in, but the part of me that loves total chaos was like this has to miss and this needs to turn into a total poop show.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think three and two. I think three and two at worst. I do too. I think it'd be four and one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was eight and a half last night, but I want to know if it changed from there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And what about the Broncos after five games?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And his other quote was that 64 was the max. So if Jovante Williams would have literally gotten tackled one yard farther back, he would have gone for the foot. It would have gone for a fourth and six.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I think Zach Taylor would have tried a 64 yarder.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, the difference is, if you were playing the Ravens, you might call a timeout to preserve time in case Tucker makes it so that you have 50 seconds. You know, like the dynamic changes based on how good the kicker is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, maybe Green Bay has real issues with Adams gone, but I think it's gonna take more than one game to be able to judge that. Hopefully they'll be healthier this week. Both offensive tackles were questionable last week. Ended up not playing, so hopefully we'll see some guys back there. They still managed 5.5 yards per play in that game. Just couldn't convert it into points or slow down Minnesota's offense with those questionable defensive calls like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pete is talking about, I don't think that lateral be an issue. I mean, there's no reason to believe in the Chicago offense despite them winning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If Green Bay is an average team, I think this line is probably still light at 10, uhm, just because of how low I have Chicago in my power ratings. If Green Bay is still a good team, this line is not, is gonna make no sense come, you know, four or five, six weeks. So I think this line should be 14, maybe even a little higher. So I have Green Bay as a best bet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I don't know that Houston played that well. They were outgained 517 yards to 299 yards. That's a massive difference. Uhm, so, you know, those fumbles were key and it was interesting to see Indy rally back. I think Denver's offense, they averaged 6.8 yards per play. You know, I think they're still solid even with that questionable decision making.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The goal line fumbles kept the score down. I mean, in reality, they should have rolled in that game and it shouldn't have been close at the end.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, Denver's defense looks like it could be a problem though, so maybe Houston can backdoor this game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it's a tough environment for Mills. I love backing Denver at home in the first two weeks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're 43 and 8 straight up at home in the first two weeks of the season. 32, 15 and 4 against the spread all time. Teams just are not ready to come in and play at altitude in the first two weeks of the season. So I would lean to Denver. I'm not making it a best bet because of how big the line is and how ugly they looked last week, but that would be my lean.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I'm apparently predicting regression week for Pete Prisco after that five in one week to start out because I'm on the other side of this one too and I have this one as a best bet. Like I said, Indy had no business letting Houston hang around in that game with the yardage and the statistical advantage. Jacksonville looked much better than they had last year thanks to that new coaching, but there were still major holes on the roster. I mean, I was sitting there watching that game next to Pete and he was complaining about


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Griffin and the guard and this guy and that guy, there's still holes on this, on this starting roster that I think can be exploited by complete teams. And I think Indy is a pretty complete team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, Ryke is now 0-4-1 straight up, 0-4-1 against the spread in week 1, but that's 3-1 straight up and 4-0 against the spread in week 2. The only loss was last year when they lost by 3 points but covered against the Rams when Wentz was banged up and I think we were kind of surprised they played it. He played in that game because he had like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The calculus definitely changes for Pittsburgh's defense with Watnaut on the field. And the offense had just 264 yards, over 70 minutes of football. So I don't know that the offense is going to be that good despite them, you know, getting enough points to beat, uh, Bengals in an, in an upset win. The last time Belichick started 0-2 was 2001.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So New England might be bad. I don't love playing laying the points on the road just because that offense might be bad. I think that's the way to go though, so I'm not making it a best bet. Uhm, with that Belichick factor, I would lean toward Pete's side, but I'm not itching to play it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, you're not going to get the three after, after, uhm, you know, the line's reopened. Defense didn't play well, and it was actually three briefly, uh, but now with the injury issues for the Bucks, it's come down a little bit. Uhm, Evans mispracticed today, Godwin obviously isn't going to play.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, Julio missed practice. It just seems like, I don't know who Brady's gonna throw to. Uhm, so maybe it's a Leonard Fournette game where they can get the run game going the way...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That, uh, Atlanta did last week, but the Bucks have committed 36 turnovers over the last two years. That's about one per game. Saints have 11 of them, and they're four games. The Saints know how to turn Tom Brady over, and Brady hates playing them, like Brinson was saying. So, with those interior OL issues, I think


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In that tough one for me, I love the Jets as plus six and a half is the best bet. The offense did nothing for the Jets last week. The defense did play pretty well against a very good Baltimore team that we think is pretty good. Defense allowed more than 23 yards and just three other 12 drives, sunk by a few big plays in that game. Uh, the Cleveland offense just doesn't look capable of delivering big plays with Percet at quarterback.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That defense for Cleveland looked great for three quarters, then like Brendan said, let the Panthers back into it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so that worries me a little bit, but ultimately in this game, Jacoby Berset is a six and a half point favorite and Jacoby Berset should not be laying six and a half points to any NFL team. I don't care how ugly they look the previous week, so uhm, you just gotta, I know the Jets are stinky, you just gotta take them right now and look at the quarterback on the other side of the field and say why is he almost a touchdown favorite?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, my lean would be to the Cardinals. Look ahead was Vegas minus three, but since that Arizona defense looked horrendous, the number shot up. That was against one of the NFL's best offenses. I think this is a little bit easier match up here, even though we saw that Devonte Adams can go off in this offense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I knock Arizona down two points in my power ratings. That's the most aggressive move I had for a team that wasn't related to injury. Obviously the Cowboys dropped a lot further, but I had Arizona as a plus one team, one point better than average. Now I have them as a


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I, I moved the Vegas up half a point, or maybe even a full point. That only got the line to minus four for me. I think this is a bit of an overreaction. We know this is overreaction week in the NFL.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I think this big line move from the three to five and a half is a little too much. I would lean to Arizona. I did make the over a best bet because not impressed with either of these defenses right now. Uhm, even at 51 and a half, I think these teams could, you know, go back and forth and get to into the mid to the high fifties in this game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Rams offense looked terrible in the opener. I was hoping to get better value here and play them in single digits. Doesn't look like that's going to happen. I'm also leaning to the Rams. I think minus ten is fine. Teams that play on Thursday in week one are sixteen and four against the spread in week two since 2011 per Warren Sharp. Not only do these teams win, they cover.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so Ram's D struggled to stop Buffalo's pass offense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the Giants, I think, played about as well as they could have. You know, Daniel Jones was 17-21, Saquon 164 yards rushing. They actually put together a quality defensive game plan, slowed down Derrick Henry, still have like 80-something yards, but you know, didn't really break the game open as you expect them to do in this matchup.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You put all that together and they won by one at the very end and just eked out a win. So you would, I would like to see them have a more dominant win if you're going to do that, especially against a team I'm not high on in the Titans. That offense for Carolina was brutal until the fourth quarter. Run game had issues in particular. I do like fading a team coming off a surprise upset win in week one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, that's favored in week two. So my lean would be to Carolina, but I'm throwing them in a teaser here. Get them up to plus eight. I think, uhm, getting eight points against a team like the Giants that we don't expect to be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, Washington looked mostly good last week, and you can qualify it by saying he played a bad Jacksonville defense. Well, he gets another bad defense here. Washington will also allow 6.28 yards per play in week one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In that game, Detroit gave up 6.3 yards for play. I think you can score a ton of points in this game. The total was 49. It's ticked down to 48.5 with


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] DeAndre Swift banged up with some injuries on the offensive line for Detroit. So maybe people aren't expecting as many points. I don't care. I'm going to make it a best bet. Go over the 48 and a half because we got it under that key number of 49. I think Detroit's going to be a popular over team all year with their improved offense and their bad defense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you talk about the overreaction week earlier, like I said, uhm, that's when you have these 1-0 teams playing 0-1 teams. You typically want to back the 0-1 team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because uhm, you know, the, the, the market is reacting differently to each team, putting too much stock into what they saw in week one. The market is treating Detroit like they're the 1-0 team. This was Pickham on the look ahead. And then it jumped up to two and a half. And it just seemed everybody wanted to back Detroit in this game. Now because of those injury issues, it's come down a little bit to one and a half.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think Detroit is still getting all the respect in this game and Washington is not, even though Washington won and Detroit didn't. So, in terms of overreaction week, I'm treating this like Detroit won and Washington didn't and I'm backing Washington as well. It's part of my teaser, tease it up to plus seven and a half.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Again, Detroit just, if they don't win a game by more than a touchdown, I'm good there. So I love putting those two teams together in a teaser, but I would back the commanders too at one and a half.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You think the Vikings are gonna score a bunch of points in this game? Who's the quarterback of the Vikings?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, especially in the second half. They only need to fix the run defense issues, particularly for this game. I think they can though. The talent is there up front. Minnesota riding high after embarrassing Green Bay. That's pushed this line down a little bit. Uhm, the look ahead was three, I believe. Uhm, I have Philly's home field advantage is one and a half points.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So now at two, they're saying Philly's a little bit better than, than Minnesota. I think that's true. I still believe in this Philly team. Top to bottom is a very good roster. Uhm, so I would lean to Philly. I think three was probably closer to the right number than two.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But uh, you know, with how the Vikings look last week, even though Kurt Cousins is playing in prime time, I'm not in a rush to play it. I definitely don't want to tease the Vikings just in case we get that Kurt Cousins stud.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Injuries continue to kill Baltimore, lost two players out for the year last week, but the Dolphins also have injury issues on their offensive line with Armstead, uhm, and I believe one other player, you know, banged up, not practicing. Uhm, I think that the Baltimore can manage that, ought to find a tackle until Stanley's healthy, and I hope Peters is back at cornerback for this game, we'll see. Uhm, so I think the line should probably be four, so only a slight lead to Baltimore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Seattle coming off emotional win over Russ. They're due for a letdown here. You can get 8.5 at some places. That makes it right for being a teaser like here. If you want to tease this and the Bengals, they're both 4 o'clock games. Uhm, you know, I think that's pretty, pretty winning proposition, but I didn't do it here since we're taking 9 in our picks. Uhm, I would lean to the Niners here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can't, you can't evaluate anything about that, that game and that monsoon. So on new turf, you know, they were worried about the turf coming into the game and then the football gods dump like, you know, a deluge onto the field and say go ahead and play in that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it's always funny how that works out, but it's possible Trey Lance is bad and his line looks awful in four weeks, but I still haven't, you know, changed my opinion on San Francisco.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From coming into the season and I thought they were a Super Bowl team. So I think nine is fine. I think eight and a half is fine, but if you can get eight and a half, definitely look to tease it down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, you know, he's not a name backup quarterback, but he can at least hold his own. The problem is, like you said, that offense was terrible even with Dak, so I don't know how you fixed that in one week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, but I'm typically looking to back, back at quarterbacks when they take over because the line move is too extreme. I think that's probably in place here. I would lean Dallas, uh, because Joe Burrow looked nowhere near 100% in that game turning the ball over left and right and we know the issues he dealt with in August. So I don't know that he's 100% in this game and it seems like


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The look ahead line of seven and a half never made sense unless you thought Tennessee was a very good team. And I think nobody really thought that. So on that same early edge show on Sunday morning, I said, get, get the Bills in a teaser right now because seven and a half is going to be long gone, you know, by the time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We get to the end of the day, tease them with the Steelers, then we have the TJ Watt injury. So it didn't work out great on that leg, but I'll still take it 10 times out of 10 to get the Bills down to one and a half in this game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would lean to Buffalo 10 as well. Uhm, the line's more fair. I don't know how Tennessee often handles that Buffalo defense like you're talking about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then if Tennessee gets behind, you know, you can't feature Henry in the second half and try to get through the back door because you got to throw a lot and try to catch up. So that's not how Tennessee's built. So it's going to be hard to backdoor this one. I like the bills too.

[Assistant] I'm trying to end this thing at 40. I'm shutting the, the end broadcast button, but I wanted to ask quickly, what did you think? This is something that I, uh, turn this off, but you will have a new question. Six minutes, six minutes. The reception of Ross by the Seahawks crowd.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So if it ends salty, it's okay to act that way or, you know, you would probably act that way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, yeaah, it's, it's not like those trashy Cowboys fans throwing trash at Jack Rascott last night. Cowboys fans are losers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Most important player in franchise history. Steve Zorn would like a word, but okay. No, it's not even a debate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here's my like fan approach if this was me. Cheer pre-game, recognize the accomplishments, the most important player in franchise history, boo him like crazy every time he touches the ball during the game.

[Assistant] I was at a, uh, my brother's wedding on Saturday. And so I'm still, I guess I'm still have that, uh, post wedding glow podcast.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, you do it now because this number an hour ago was two and a half. So it is, people are already betting. That's basically, by the way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, I mean, we all know how I feel about this game. Look, you asked me all week if I was concerned about the Bengals 0-2 star, and the answer was no.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, as long as they beat the Jets. And they beat the Jets. They fulfilled their end of the bargain. Look, Joe Burrow missed four weeks of training camp with his appendectomy. The offense was out of sync the first couple of weeks. They needed a get right game. They got it. And so, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now they get to face the Dolphins, and there is one thing about the Dolphins, Brenton, that has been overshadowed because they've started 3-0, so people aren't really talking about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Their defense has been atrocious. They literally have given up the second most yards in the NFL this year through three weeks. They're giving up more than 400 yards per game. And these aren't garbage time yards that people are piling up on that. These are yards that are happening.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just think Cincinnati's offense is going to have a lot of success. It's White Tiger, it's prime time at home, Bangalore is going to be pumped, I think they will.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know that we know that yet because they literally did not hold a lead this entire season until week three. That's true.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For instance, I'm in the central time zone. This game kicks off at 8.30, which is worse than 9.30. You know what I had to do though? I had to Google, uh, I had to do a little time zone research before this because I had to make sure this game's not kicking off at prime time, prime time hour in London because you can't pick Kirk Cousins in prime time, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is not prime time though. It kicks off at 2.30 PM local time in London. So it's the middle of the day. It's like one PM game to him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, but you know what? For me, this game is just that I don't trust the Saints at all. They, they just, it's like they forget what time the game kicks off every week. They've been one of the first half, worst first half teams in the NFL to the first three weeks. They're averaging 3.3 points per game, uh, in the first half.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, well, I know why the total's high, and that's because the Ravens defense literally can't stop anyone. I mean, you talk about, you talk about the Ravens conversation usually starts with Lamar Jackson.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I want to talk about Ravens pass defense because it has been atrocious this year. Rinson, they are giving up more than 350 pass yards per game. And it's not like they're going up against Patrick Mahomes. They went up against Joe, uh, Flacco. They went up against obviously Tua and Mack Jones in week three.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And these quarterbacks are just putting up huge numbers against him. What is Josh Allen going to do? He's going to throw for 450 yards. So I do think this will be a high scoring game because even if the Bills do turn into a shootout and Josh Allen throws all over him, Lamar Jackson is absolutely good it up to keep Baltimore in it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, I'm, I'm split on this one right now. I'm leaning Buffalo, but man, Baltimore as a three point home dog is, uh, enticing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Look, Princeton, I'll give you all the credit in the world. You are on Jacksonville's bandwagon before anyone you predicted they would win the AFC South, which does not sound even 1% as crazy as it sounded, uh, in the offseason. I'm now on their bandwagon. You have won me over. Jacksonville has won me over.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, and if you're giving me seven points with Jacksonville, I am taking it all day, every day for the rest of the season. This team has a bunch of weapons, whether it's Trevor Lawrence, James Robinson, the offenses just look so good that I have a tough time seeing them getting blown out by anyone. And so I think they can keep this within a touchdown. And, uh, yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Literally, if I see the number plus seven next to Jacksonville at any point for the rest of the year and assuming their roster is healthy and you have the Doug Peterson revenge angle, he wants to beat Philly so badly that he is going to throw the kitchen sink at them. I'm all over Jacksonville here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is, this is, uh, the team I thought I liked against my Titans here in Nashville, but it's in Indie, but I'm in Nashville. Uhm, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Colts beat the Chiefs on Sunday, but I was not very impressed with that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Exactly, the Chiefs just handed them a win. We're gonna run a fake field goal on 4th and 11. We missed a field goal. We muffed a punt that set up a cold touchdown. They just kept giving them points and opportunities to win and the Colts finally took it and won with that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Last second touchdown, uh, thrown by Matt Ryan. So I just wasn't too impressed with the Colts. On the other hand, the Titans I thought dominated the Raiders, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, the Raiders made a game of it at the end, but it really felt like the Titans were able to move the ball up and down the field for the most part.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and so I think I like the Titans. It looks like Ryan Tienhill's getting a lot more comfortable with his offense, with his new receivers, and you know what? The Titans have won three straight against the Colts. Mike Braywell just seems to have Frank Reich's number, and if I'm getting plus three and a half,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All about his contract that we have, since he's not on the show, I have to talk about the Steelers.
