[Assistant] Chess match doesn't matter if it's queens and rooks against pawns. Now, the Raiders aren't quite queens and rooks, but the Patriots are pawns right now. The Patriots don't have the talent. And I wonder whether or not the Patriots

[Assistant] It's one thing to deal with Belichick when his methods are working. When his methods aren't working, you know, we talk about how the media will turn on him and others will turn on him. What about the players turning on him? If the team is bad and they're, and it's not working, you get sick of hearing it. And that could be happening as well. Alright, 27 or 21, excuse me, 17, Raiders over Patriots. Cardinals at the Rams.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 89% of the spread money is on the Rams who are favored by 7 with an over-under of 48.5. Chris?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you have the Rams by 10 covering the spread. Look, the Cardinals have been better than we expected them to be, and Rams home game, I don't know what a Rams home game even is. The Cardinals fans show up, it's not a very long trip, and you know, the Cardinals have some pretty passionate and loyal fans.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They need this when they need to beat the Cardinals. They can't stumble. Although I think it will be close and it might be garbage time touchdown close. It might be


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, they're up 28-17 and the Cardinals get a score late where it really doesn't matter. Making it 28-24 looks better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the newspaper, if there even is a newspaper out there. So I'll go 28-24, but I think the Rams win and, uh, and, uh, you know, get another victory under their belt as they end up being better than we thought they were going to be this year. Eagles at the Jets.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Jets at 2 and 3. With that one last game before their bye week. The pivot between 2 and 4 and 3 and 3. The Eagles are 5 and 0. But have they been impressive in any of their victories? They could have lost every game they've played this year. They're, they're different from the 49ers who are kicking the crap out of everyone. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Eagles favorite by seven, over under a 41. Do you think the Jets can cover? And dare I ask, do you think the Jets can win?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel like I have gangrene in my stomach still after the kidney stone and my lingering ulcerative colitis. I'm not quite sure what it is. Maybe it is an infection that's gone rogue.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm doing it, baby. Hey, life isn't worth living unless you're gonna have some fun once in a while. And I apologize in advance to all the great Eagles fans out there. Somebody's gotta win, somebody's gotta lose. Your team's not gonna go 17-0, and there's a danger they may be peeking past the Jets toward the Miami Dolphins. Big showdown next Sunday night.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Better than they ever expected to be. 3-3 was the best case scenario if Aaron Rodgers doesn't blow out his Achilles tendon four plays into the season. Jets 24. Eagles 23. I'm doing it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, you know, I may regret it, but again, I gotta have some fun. It'll make Sunday at 425 fun.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It won't surprise me if the Jets pull it off. I'd feel better about it frankly if the game was in Philadelphia. So Zach Wilson wouldn't have to listen to the Jets fans who might be up in arms if things aren't going their way. But I think the Jets can do it. I believe that they'll go into the bye week three and three. Alright, Lions at the Buccaneers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you played, and you played for the Buccaneers, well that would explain why they didn't give you one. But, they're gonna break out the creamsicles, they've had extra time to get ready, Baker Mayfield's gotta...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] King-sized chip on his shoulder. And remember last year when we were like, gee, where's Baker gonna go? I think the Lions should have been interested in him. I think the Lions, I think he probably thinks, you know what, I could do better for you in that offense than Jared Goff does. This is his chance, this is their opportunity to prove everybody wrong. Yes, the Lions have been great this year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, but I think they may be walking into a buzzsaw in Tampa Bay on Sunday. I like the Bucks. I like the creamsicles. Even if they don't send me one, I'm still believing in the Buccaneers. 2724 Upset Special, two in a row. Damn, two in a row. I think you got some rotten ass tomatoes in your possum.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, uh, that's it for the four o'clock games and if I'm not on football night in America,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On Sunday night, you'll know why. It will be because Chris has harassed me to the point where I run over to him and let his giant fist bash into my face. Okay, primetime games, when this joint collaboration of Chris Sims Unbuttoned and PFTPM continues right after this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sunday Night Football. The Giants at the Bills. The Bills are favored by four. Oh wait, that's fourteen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Over under a 44 and a half, Daniel Jones may not be playing with a neck injury. Tyrod Taylor. Is that enough of an angle that we can hype? Tyrod Taylor goes back to Buffalo? Probably not. Oh well. Dr. Needle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Something positive to happen with Tyra Taylor. It's not Daniel Jones' fault that they've been this bad. The offensive line is horrible. The Bills defense will take advantage of it. It's another embarrassment for the Giants in prime time. It's like 2022 never even happened.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Frankly, and even Brian Dayball going back to Buffalo who was the offensive coordinator isn't going to be enough to make a difference because he just doesn't have the pieces necessary for that team to be as competitive as it needs to be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To the Chargers, I'm sure it'll be Cowboys fans up the wazoo at SoFi Stadium. That's how it always tends to go for the teams that play their home games there. Highest over under the week, 50.5. Chris, who do you like in this one? A get-right opportunity for the Cowboys who got embarrassed on Sunday night.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's a classic example of the Cowboys having one loss become two. It really is. I still think the Cowboys get it together, the extra day helps. 31-21 is the score I've picked for this one. I don't feel overly optimistic about it, but I think this is the kind of game where the defense swarms early, Micah Parsons gets going.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They get up by a couple of scorers and they put their foot on the gas like we've seen them do. It may not, if it, look, if the Cowboys win, it might not be as close as 10. It could be 20. Who knows? But I think the Cowboys get it right on Monday night. We'll take a break when we return. Our best bets, or as the case may be, worst bets, and our Folsom Prison Blues pick for week six. Next on this joint collaboration of Chris Simpson about the PFTP.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All right, best bet's time. Chris Sims on Button PFTPM. Chris, you're up first. Give me one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I got the dolphins as well. It was one of my three. I wasn't going to go first, but let's do the slot machine thing. We've lined up so far. Dolphins, dolphins. Who do you got for your second?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Probably 15 by the time the game starts. Maybe 16. Thanks for joining us. Enjoy the game. See ya. See ya next time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yo, yo, yo. What's up? It's Chris Sims. Chris Sims Unbuttoned. Ahmed Fareed is here today. He's representing the t-shirt. He's got the Unbuttoned logo on. That's him doing the Superman pose. Yes, the Joker cackle is in the back room.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Working the producer, director, buttons, doing it all for us as you, as always. Yep. Good to see you man. Good to see you too. Hope you had a good weekend. We're in the middle of Dolphins Eagles right now. We just had a huge turning point of the game, right? 17-10 Eagles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Tyreekill dropped the third and three touchdown.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fourth and three, don't get it, should have been pass interference, face mask on the Eagles, turnover on downs to the Eagles, they run a RPO, Jalen Hurts tries to throw the ball, kahoo, tips it,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jerome Baker, Interception pick 6, and now we're at 17-7, so there's your play-by-play for a game that you'll already know what goes on tomorrow morning. Just like the rest of them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so why would he be doing that? Right. We expect more intelligent listeners here, uh, part of our podcast, but it's a special night.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, it's a great game we got going on. It was a good week seven. We got a little of everything to talk about. I don't know if there was, there was a few crazy games for sure. We know that. I think there were a lot more than a few. Yeah, there was definitely some upsets and I think even some games that we thought might go the way they did.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They went in a way that you didn't expect it, I guess was to say. And, and more importantly, Ahmed is wearing his famous red pants, so this has to be a good podcast. I showed up with the t-shirt and the pants. Boom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It made my life so good at one o'clock. There was only six games to watch. I felt like I could digest them. I really knew what was going on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of course they put up this kind of effort after I just said they're a Super Bowl contender on national TV last week. I mean, geez, I finally get your back Detroit. This is how you treat me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, that's right. I picked the Ravens to win anyways. You did. I did. But, you know, it's more to it than that. We know that. Well, let's dive into it. It was, it was interesting. This would be one of the games where, yea, I picked the Ravens to win. Did I think they were going to win 38-6? Absolutely not. So, where do you want to start? I don't want to start. Haha, tough shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I think your team got greedy. You know, your whole team did. It's probably true. It's 5-1. You could be 6-0 last week. I think, you know, not only me saying that on football night in America, I feel like a lot of people kind of said that. Like, you know, the Dolphins crossed the, I mean the Dolphins, the Lions crossed the threshold.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Last week where I think people went, yeah, they're a playoff team, but I don't know if they're anything more than that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right now, so they were feeling themselves chest pumped out. Hey, we're the biggest thing and you know, Detroit, Michigan right now, but Baltimore, of course, a team that matches up really well with you guys has a style of play of football that really matches up with you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right? So there's, there's some of the places you have advantages and usually you didn't have it in this matchup, let alone they were coming to the game four and two and going,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wait, we played some moments of good football, but we lost two games. We probably shouldn't have lost. We let some teams hang around in London with the Tennessee Titans longer than they should have. They had yet to put a full game together and really kind of just go, hey,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here we are, the Ravens. You know, you had heard me for a few weeks kind of say, when the Ravens are at their best, I'm really impressed. They just haven't been able to do it through a four quarter span. This was one that started from the get go. The first drive of the football game was Lamar on fire.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so that's one thing for sure. And now, okay, play action pass might not be as good because we don't have to worry about, our big guys are big just like you. We feel like we can hang in there, right? That's the first thing. You know, I think the other part of this is, you know, your defense align for the most part, usually can go, wait, we're big enough and we're good enough.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To slow down the run by ourselves. We don't need to load the box and be totally crazy. We can play our zone coverages that we talked about in the backend here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But this is a passing team or a team that goes, wait, we can run it and be scary. So I think you guys probably were a little bit worried about that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then in your secondary with your zones and everything like that, they got some talent in receiver. They got some speed. And they found some creative ways, I think, throughout, right from the get-go of the game that Lamar got going. They found some big completions down the middle of the football field. And it kind of just snowballed from there. But yea, you felt like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, after the first ride, they kinda had you guys in a spot where it's like, wait, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It felt like you guys overplayed the run game a little bit early on. Like you were worried about, hey, they're gonna overpower us, we gotta worry about that, and Ravens kinda, I think, kinda felt that way, and they came out throwing the football, and Amaro was sharp, and like you said, I think a one point in the second quarter, it was like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yup, completion down the sideline. So they had the Mark Andrews type thing. Same type of thing, where it's like they looked like they were going to run the quarterback sweep. People pulling, right, but nobody went past the line of scrimmage.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mark Andrews kind of fakes like he's in a block for a few seconds and then releases up the sideline. The play on the fourth and one that we just talked about on the first drive again was using the run game. Lamar keeps it around the edge. Uh, there was another play too. They had a cool RPO to OBJ early on the football game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, that, that, you know, again, you play zone defenses, you're worried about stopping the run. Oh wait, we all move up to stop the run. Oh wait, Lamar kept it around the edge. Now we get a move to go get him. Oh, now there's a hole in the void and boom, he hits OBJ. But I think the, the thing I liked was,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They, they had some plays where they played through the run in this football game in a lot of ways. I know the stats weren't big and they wouldn't rush for 180 yards or all that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But a few of the wrinkles they had off the play-action pass game. But more importantly, yeaah, I just think it was Lamar in the pass game. It was the first game I feel like we saw Andrews, Zay Flowers, OBJ, and Rashad Bateman kind of look like, hey, they're all healthy, they all got a little role in the offense, and Lamar knows how to spread it around. And the Ravens, like we said,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll say it like I said against your team last week. The Ravens are a Super Bowl team. You know, they're not 32 points better than you guys. But they got you in a football game where, okay, now it's 14-0. So you kind of avoid the run a little bit. It becomes pass, pass game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So now you lose your play action pass and do that. Oh, that was 21-0. Well shit, now we can't run it at all. We have to drop back and pass it, you know, almost every play when it gets to that point. You know, and that's when the Ravens can be scary too because they can play with your protections. They're very well coached on the, on, on the defensive side of the football.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, they have creative ways to do a lot of different things. The Ravens are one of the better teams in football. They should not be five and two. They should probably be at least six and one is what I would say. Uh, but yeah, that was a dominant, dominant team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, you've heard, you know, we've talked about this. He is a look for the past first quarterback. That's what he's been.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, he has been the last year or two, tries to work the pocket.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But his patience early on in this football game a few times where he had protection and he was like, wait, wait, I'm not going to run.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I'm not gonna try to fit a ball in here. Let me just sit back here and slide and buy a little more time and see if somebody separates. And on this play, yeaah, not only stays in the pocket forever, but then when it gets to a point with like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, whoa, the pocket's collapsing. Like you'll see here if you're continuing to watch, pocket's collapsing. Okay, now let me start to make something happen. This is where he does the little 360 whirly-durl. And then he runs out to the right and sets up. Like he could've ran around the edge and probably got the first down. But he went, no, I got more dangerous things I can do here if you let me set up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And throws a great ball to Nelson Aguilar in the back of the end zone. His throwing was on point, as it was last week, uh, in Tennessee.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, now did they have some red zone struggles and whatever else? Sure, okay, but it wasn't Lamar, it wasn't like Mr. Rose, as it was the week before against Pittsburgh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When right, remember the Ravens dropped like four passes for like a high, you know, more than four passes, like huge passes. Alright, so he's been on his game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think now it's the rest of the offenses coming along. They're starting to learn how to tie things together. And this is one of the best defenses in football to go along with it. They are a team that you look at and go, yeah, maybe like the Lions kryptonite a little bit as far as how they match up with you guys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would be shocked if this doesn't mean like just continued sharp upward trajectory for the Ravens. And one of the reasons, and this is a great point by our Eric DePasta, we talked about this on the pod last Wednesday, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You guys have a tendency to kinda go a little all in on something. Oh, the Ravens run the ball. We're gonna be really aggressive and stop the run. And the Ravens knew that. So they got some run sets early on. Did they listen to the podcast? Well, I don't know. Did we screw my Detroit Lions? The Ravens are smart. They got a lot of smart people. Plus, I think they have the guts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like I talked about in my picks podcast, just to say, they're not gonna let Detroit


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, put eight guys within seven yards of the line of scrimmage or nine guys and stop their run game. They're going to take some shots and back them off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And of course they did that and uh, really were phenomenal throughout the day. Ravens have a really complete football team. Yea. Right? They really do. Across the board.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They rushed the passer better than years past, which is impressive. They got big people. We know the linebackers are awesome. Their secondary is phenomenal. The receivers are good. The run game's healthy. And the O-Lion is close to healthy for the first time in a while. Can't forget about that. That's gonna be another big reason. Your Lions, last thing I'll say here, you know, they gotta find ways to get Jamison Williams to Balmore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, in a game like this, where you look at the Ravens, the Ravens did have some moments, at least it looked like to me, when they showed replays of things, where I go, man, the Ravens, they played man to man here, and,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nobody was really separating. Amon Ross St. Brown is a really good player, don't get me wrong. But he's gonna separate in the 5 to 8 to 10 yard area, right? You need, you need somebody else that can run 20 yard in cuts, you know, post over the top, 30 yard deep crossing routes and create separation that way. That's where I think they're gonna look at this film after this game and go,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We gotta start putting Jameson Williams in some more of these situations to kinda add to our offense and scare people. You won't be so daring getting up there to stop the run if he starts to beat you deep all the time. You know, I'm worried.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, he had a play today where he ran by everybody, and he almost caught it. Like it was one of those where you go, ah, that would have been a really good catch, but Goff could have thrown it better too. So again, the speed's real, I understand you're worrying about him, uh, they need to find a consistent role for him, that's gonna be the


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was the most balanced we saw the Patriots look. It's the best they moved the ball consistently all year throughout off game, four quarters, right? I mean, yea, Mack Jones was sharp.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They had a run game to depend on to a degree. At least it wasn't so like, wait, every time we run the ball is zero yards. At least there was something there to build off of and keep the, the Bill's defense honest. So that was important. Definitely. Uhm, the, the, the, the defense played really good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, that was another important or impressive thing about the game. And, you know, there they were, even with all that and all these positives, you go, oh my gosh, Kendrick Bourne fumbles, right? And the Bills are going to win this football game and do that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I know it's Bill Belichick's 300th win as a head coach, right? Only George Hallis and Don Shula and we should talk about them a lot and they did a really good job. But I still think the story of this game is, is what is Buffalo? What is Buffalo? It just seems like if Buffalo doesn't, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Have just this crazy home energy. You know, sometimes their defense doesn't seem to fly around or make plays. You know, they didn't really pressure Mack Jones a whole lot today.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He found completions consistently throughout. He was 25 of 30 for an 83% completion. I mean, so, like, what, the bill's got issues. And then we go back to the other side of the ball. I mean, what did the Patriots do today?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's the same thing we've talked about the two weeks before. Limit the crazy plays by Alan, which you know, he's gonna make a few. Limit them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, balls that travel deep down the field for huge pass plays, they didn't happen very much in this football game, if ever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right? So, there they are, and the big thing is, is just then what is the other answer for the Buffalo Bills if it's just Josh Allen doing like unbelievable things? And I have that concern. Let alone, you know, they're a little banged up, the Bills on the defensive side of the ball.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they're a totally different football team to where you go, you know, yeaah, I know they can survive, but are they going to survive to the point where they're barely going to get in the playoffs? Are they going to be able to survive here and still get a home playoff game? I don't know. I think it's a very fair question. And as I stand here right now, I think it's kind of a toss up or a coin flip there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, they're kind of like check downs like, hey, I'm looking for a 15 or 20 yard pass. I'm looking for the 30 yard pass. Nothing's there. That's where I get into, I feel like they need to get an unbelievable variety of the short passing game and live there for a little bit. They have moments where they can be surgical, but then it's like Ken Dorsey gets a little impatient and he's like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, let's take a shot down the field here. And then you go out second down, second and 10. Then they run the ball. And then it's third and 10. And then they go, well, let's take another shot. It's third and 10. Let's just see if he can make magic. And they go, oh, now they're off kilter. They're putting the ball. Here we go. They lose their patience with it. I've given up on trying to think they're going to run the ball consistently throughout the game, right? But yeah, I think it was the same type of thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, not that, uhm, Alan has harassed, but Alan couldn't find the lanes in between the tackles where he goes and runs for a 15 yard gain or like we see him


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Run between the tackles and he attacks the line of scrimmage, right? And then just as you think he's about to get to the line of scrimmage and turn it on a run, he throws a ball like 15 or 20 yards down the field. None of that's going on. And that's the Bills offense and that's just not acceptable and I don't know what they're going to do to fix that. But it was hard work for the Bills offense all game long, once again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Other than the five-place 75-yard drive that made it, uh, 22-17, everything other than that was work for them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Exactly right. The pressures more times than not are coverage sacks and they're going, we're okay with you sitting there doing that. Cause we got digs covered deep.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And now if you want to check it down to, you know, a Gabe Davis or one of your tight ends, that people are willing to live with that. They're going to go, okay, fine. You know, we'll, we'll let you have Dalton Kincaid for six or seven here. And then he might get a few more yards every now and then, but we're not going to let you throw the Howitzer down the middle of the field. So again, that's where.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think teams are being careful about blitzing him, cause they don't, you blitz him, he makes one guy miss, he's around the edge, he runs, he makes magic happen. Or you have man to man down the field. So teams are starting to go,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like pin our ears back and let's go kill the quarterback.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's, let's just like we talked about, not pass him, keep our eyes on him and let him sit back there and pat the ball and see if somebody can get open. And again, you know, I just don't know if there's enough firepower down the football field or any of that, even in those scenarios. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now I'm sitting here for five or six seconds, right? And people are moving around.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Every team can replicate to a degree. I do, yeaah. This is one that you don't have to have like incredible talent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To figure this one out. And I think also with the fact that three teams in a row did it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And cause them so much problems. You know, people go back, the first thing they do is watch the four previous games. They're gonna look at the three previous games and go, well wait, one thing's in common.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He wasn't throwing the ball 50 yards down the field and he wasn't running around making magical plays. The Buccaneers next week? Certainly he'll be able to do that. The Cincinnati Bengals the week after that? Certainly he'll be able to do that. You know, they got the Broncos.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, we know they're not a good defense. That could be a different game. But then it's the Jets and the Eagles and the Chiefs the three weeks after that. Yeaah. We've already seen the Jets do that. We know the Eagles and Chiefs will be able to do that. So yeaah, that's why I'm worried about Buffalo. And like I've been saying, they need to find another element in their offense. There's gotta be something else.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That they're making teams defend. It can't just be 17 throwing lasers, run around the edge and throw another laser. And then if that's not there,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Run and be our leading rusher too, right? The whole game is on him. I'm sick of it, they need to fix it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His respect for George Hallis and Don Shula and people like that. It means a lot to him. It means a lot to him. It'll be one of those, yea, when the season's over and he can think about it, he'll stick his chest out and go, damn, I did do a pretty good job. Uh, but yea, they got an uphill battle right now. He's, he is the ultimate, not gonna let


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Celebration creep into his mind when they're sitting there at, what are they, two and five now? Yeah. That ain't gonna happen there in New England. He's certainly not happy, uh, but congratulations to him, seriously.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Florio picked it to be 13-6. I mean, that's the kind of game I really thought it would be. I did. You know, I thought, I didn't think it was gonna be anything more than 20-17 on your wildest day. Especially when Deshaun Watson went out of the football game. Oh, for sure. I was just like, oh man, this is just gonna be a defense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, hey, every team has different matchup, poses different problems, right? The way Shane Steichen, again, we've talked about him a lot this year. He's a brilliant play caller, play designer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, he knows how to tie plays together and stress you and put you in some tough spots as a defensive coordinator.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, insane. I mean, they found some ways where, I mean, Josh Downs was just like, nobody's in the screen, he's going up the sideline, he's wide open, oh, okay, 50 yard gain, 40 yard gain. I mean, Michael Pittman over the middle, breaks a tackle, gone, see you later, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ran the ball successfully. I mean, really kind of did whatever they wanted on that side of the ball. So, I mean, that was impressive. And yea, it was big play after big play. But, even though within all those big plays in 456 yards and 38 points,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Browns defense still won the game. They did win the game. They did. Okay, it might not have been the way they wanted to, but their playmaking ability won the football game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The strip sack that, you know, gave the short field to the Browns one time. The strip sack that was in the end zone for the touchdown, like you said. Denzel Ward starts the third quarter with an interception that gives them the short field. More points for them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The jump over the right guard on the field goal, block the field goal, set up another short field for the Browns to kick a field goal, I believe, that time there. So, you know, incredible performance by them. Even though they lit up some yards and some big plays that we had not seen them do, they still made a number of plays where


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They had to because, you know, again, it's pretty remarkable. P.J. Walker, two games in a row with being less than efficient, kind of shaky at the quarterback position. They're not getting good play there. Deshaun Watson was even shaky before he got hurt, but yet they're still finding ways to win the football game because they can run the ball still.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, they'll make a play here and there in the pass game, and then their defense makes several plays, and that's why they're kind of special right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the, uh, the ball hit the ground, the guy kinda dropped it after review, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that did not look good, certainly, but hopefully they can get that going. Uh, Cleveland defense is going to be pissed about how many yards they let off, but still, to make the plays they did, they were crucial. And, uh, we'll see where it goes from here. This, the fancy did come out after the game and say, you know, Watson is starting next game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But he's got it. He's a really special football player. I mean, he's, he's on his way to Canton, Ohio right now. There's, there's no doubt about that. He's, and he might be on his way finally to his first defense of player of the year award with the way he's doing and dominating football games. Plus, like the other thing is, with the way he works and stays in shape,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't see any end in sight. It's not like you're going well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He, he hit the prime and you know, this is kind of the down slope of his career. I don't know, I mean damn, he looks as good to me as ever before, right? Can Cleveland continue to sustain this way? That's going to be the big question. They need better quarterback play. We know they can run the ball, right? Uhm, but even like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] PJ Walker throws a bad interception late in the game. He throws a post route. The Colts get the ball in their own two or three yard line. Well...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, there is. There's times where literally the coaches will go, hey, take a shot. If they intercept it, so what? We got a great defense. They'll be pinned back. I'm sure that's been talked about before.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, but yeaah, they get the stop there, right, field goal position, boom, they kick a field goal, they go up, uh, 33-31. Then the Pittman touchdown happens, uh, which was impressive, and then really, the Browns offense put together


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're only real drive of the game. I, in my opinion, I know the first drive of the game was three plays, 77 yards. There was a 69 yard touchdown run by Jerome Ford. It's not like a real drive what I'm talking about. The last drive of the game was 12 plays, 80 yards. They hadn't done anything like that the whole football game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then to answer the bell in that moment, PJ Walker made some really big throws. Yeaah, that was impressive by them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, I don't know if I toned it down. I'm not sure. Maybe they just beat me?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's a strip sack fumble. It looks like the Colts are going to win the football game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I believe it was Amari Cooper runs a post corner, but yeaah, I did think that was, that was pass interference, or, or defensive holding, for sure. Yeaah. Right? You know, again, now the timing of, did that happen?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why the ball was still in the quarterback's hands or did that happen kind of when he'd already been hit and fumbled? I think that's going to be questionable and I'd like to see that on film.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then the one in the endzone, that was suspect for sure, Jerry. Yea, it didn't seem catchable. Well, it wasn't catchable. The ball was almost in the tunnel. I mean, that's where you just go, what? I mean, how could that happen there? So, uh, yea, they were definitely questionable. I don't doubt that at all. And yes, the end of the game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Referees don't know what the hell to do right now. I don't know. You see some games where they're scared to throw the flags, other games where they kinda are flag happy, uh, but I'm frustrated with the inconsistencies of refereeing right now too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, that wouldn't even have been good. You meet the 49ers and then you go on the road and kind of like, yeah, squash that win with a loss to the Colts. And I don't mean that with disrespect to the Colts, but it looks like the Browns were kind of on to something big here. Uh, and good for them for getting a clutch win.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've never seen a team get outplayed more and still win a football game than the Pittsburgh Steelers. That's what I would say. I mean, they were the lesser team on the field for the big, better part of the day. They were. I don't mean that to be disrespectful. This is like three years in a row where I go, I, like, I mean the Steelers,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Have been outplayed by the Rams, outplayed by the Browns, and outplayed by the Ravens and they won all three football games. I've never seen anything like that. And that goes back to last year and Big Ben's last year of his career.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, it's truly incredible. It's the Mike Tomlin effect. It is the never stop, just play like a crazy animal, out hit them, and something good will happen. And then, you know, for the most part, they usually don't make too many mistakes. But even with, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Steelers got like one first down there in field goal range and they get, they got six points. So you take those six points, you take them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A.J. Watt playing Nickelback to start the third quarter? Yea. Like over the slot receiver. There's three receivers to the right. He's over to the middle of the three. His guy kind of clears. He's smart enough to recognize Cooper Cup, the inside of the three receivers there, kind of has an option route. He, I think also is smart enough


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To know the guy covering Cooper Cup has inside leverage, so Cooper Cup's gonna have to break outside, and then kinda reads Matthew Stavrid's eyes and breaks on it like he's a...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All pro safety and just catches it with his hands and then brings it down to, to, to what was that? The, the seven yard line?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that, that was the play of the game. That was the thing that changed everything for the most part.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And uhm, really got momentum back on their side, and I feel like, it felt like from that point on, I know the Rams went down and scored a touchdown, but it did feel like from that point on that the Steelers kinda had control of the game, they started to run the ball a little bit, and then the George Pickens and Deontay Johnson pass plays started to come along.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Again, you know, the first real drive of the football game, again, kind of like we just talked about with the Browns, right, was the last drive of the game. It was 17-7, it was a 10-play, 80-yard drive. I mean, that was the only drive of the game where I went, hell wait, here's a real drive down the field. I know they had the touchdown drive before that, but that was again, was kind of on a short field.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that's just, uh, kind of amazing about the football game, but that is a credit. It is, it is Mike Tomlin. Their offense is still, needs more to it. We know that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, but Pickett did look comfortable, and maybe with these, you know, the receivers being healthy, they can find something just to add. I mean, their defense...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Isn't even great, but just kinda makes plays. And keeps you out of the end zone. And, you know, they've done a phenomenal job that way. But yeah, it was one of those games where you sat there and you felt like, man, they were outplayed for the most part of the football game. And here they are, waving the terrible towel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well no, the only other thing that I'm interested to see from this game is, and I don't know what they did, either bracket or double, Cooper Cup, right? That was the one thing you noticed throughout the game. Spook and Nakua went off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It looked like they went all in on stopping Cooper Cup, and then they started to use that against them and go, okay, hey, you wanna double him, then fine, we'll put Cooper Cup, I mean, Pooka Nakua behind him, and now you're gonna have one less guy there, and that caused some issues for them, but yea, it certainly wasn't a Cooper Cup, Matthew Stafford, dice him up type of football.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The ball popped up in the air and went into Tutu Awol's hands, right? If I remember correctly. Oh no, he was throwing to Cooper Cup. Correct, yes. He backdoored out of the pocket.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Scramble to his left, he's got Cooper Cup crossing the field, he's throwing to Cooper Cup, he throws it a little off target, and luckily 2-2 Atwell was there for the touchdown.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then had another, got strip sacked, I believe, at 1.2, right? By Shaq Barrett. But they won! They won. This was another one of a little bit...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They controlled the game. You always felt like they were in control of the game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then you looked up and you were like, wait, it's 13 all? But I mean, again, you know, I don't care who you are. You fumble the ball twice on the one foot line. It's hard to win the football game after that. You know, you get stripped sacked.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, in your own area, right? Uh, yeaah. It's, again, hard to win the football game that way. You know, and actually I think the stripped sack actually might have happened when


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When the Falcons were in field goal territory, if I remember correctly. I can't even remember right, there were so many damn plays there either way. It was an in-between game for him, right? He had the mistakes, but a lot of throws where I went, I like the way that looks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right? Got pits going a little bit today for sure. Right? We saw Drake London. Uhm, they found a few nice little screens to, to Algier here and there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, always consistent with the run game, but like, I didn't have as many problems with his decision making and throws as I had in some other weeks, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So this was just carelessness with the football a little bit. And just mistakes that way. But yea, they gotta get cleaned up there. But I'm a believer in Atlanta in a lot of ways. It's just like I told you, it's just him that's kinda gotta get these issues fixed up. Whether it's more consistent throwing the football or just taking care of the football.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He only got his one touch, like one of the last plays of the football game. Was on the field, but did not do much. Right? So, yea, he must have been really sick for them not to have given him some of those chances. But, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even had another moment of the game where they got inside, he threw a big pass to Scottie Miller, they got inside the five yard line, and they had to settle for a field goal. Right? So they gotta find ways to kind of figure out those issues. Uhm, defense is still top notch. That's one thing for sure. Atlanta's defense is the real deal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's one of the better ones in football. It goes back to kinda what we said. Uh, also, I thought the Bucs had made a horrible decision early on in the football game. They were kinda like around midfield going for it on a fourth and three or four. Uh, it was a fourth and six.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And of course they didn't get it, gave the short field to a Falcons offense that we know has not been hitting on all cylinders, and kind of got them jump started early on in the football game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] BucksD is good, we know that. Baker can make some big plays.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Certainly. He threw a bad interception, I want to say early fourth quarter when they were kind of driving that hurt their football game. But for the most part, he was pretty damn good. They can't run the ball. No, they can't run the ball. That's the big thing. And that's what Todd Bowles wants to do. And they're having to rely on Baker and Mike Evans and Chris Godwin, I think way more than the Bucks or Todd Bowles really want to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was Youngho Ku kicking a field goal to win the football game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Clutch is one of the best field goal kickers in the game. He really is. He's almost automatic in those situations. Like, Falcons, you know, again, I don't know where my belief level is. There's a lot of things I like with their football team. I wish they had one more


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Something in the past game, something else, I don't know what that is, if that's feed Bijon Robinson more, whoever, right, but today was a start at least getting London and Pitts in the same game involved in the past game, that was impressive, and then of course they gotta fix that Ritter issue, but you know, I think they're on the


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that was a big moment of the football game. Gave the Green Bay Packers the lead for the first time all day. Put them up 17-6. But that's the problem. You know, it's another game where...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's funny, we're actually kinda talking about this, this way. I mean, yeaah. Jordan love, it's not bad, it's just not good yet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, there's too few and far between. It's, it's too many moments of like, wait, it's three and out. It's three and out. It's six and out. It's three and out. Oh, wait, hey, we put a drive together. It's the third quarter. Well, okay. Well, shit. I mean, it's NFL football. We can't be waiting that long.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that's what's kind of disappointing about them. It's just there's no consistency in the pass game. And it does feel like, you know, they're managing Jordan Love a little bit on that side of the ball. Let alone, again, you know, the Packers defense solid, but I just feel like not quite as dominant as I would have expected for some of the guys they have.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] First off, just off of that, PJ Locke, it was a really good interception. I wouldn't be surprised if Kareem Jackson ends up getting suspended here. This is like, I'm gonna say what, sixth, seventh infraction of unnecessary roughness this year? I mean, he's lost tens of thousands of money, like dollars, I mean.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Over $60,000 already this year. I mean it might be more than that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is this a repeat offender? I think it's getting to the point now where he might get suspended.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Second ejection this season, let alone how many times he's been penalized for it. Yeaah. Right? So, uhm, but, you know, even on that play, like, not to say the guy was open,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But Love tried to let it rip and throw a bomb and the ball kinda fluttered in the air and was way behind him and PJ Lock did a good job breaking on it and making the catch and securing the interception there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, yeaah, it's just, you know, disappointing for a Packers offense where you go, wait, we had Aaron Jones, you know, Romeo Dobbs, Christian Watson, they're all out there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they can't kind of find a rhythm or find anything to get going on the offensive side of the ball. Broncos not like a ton better, but at least efficient. And the Broncos got a two headed boxer running back right now with McLaughlin and Gervonta Williams. Sure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's, he's extremely explosive, McLaughlin. I mean, he's a home run hitter, and then Gervonta Williams is just a downhill bowling ball who just breaks tackles and puts fear in defenders there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Broncos come out, they have drives, they look good, they're efficient. They can't make big plays that ever get in the end zone. They always have to settle for field goals. That's kind of their MO, the whole year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, Russell's stats are pretty good. Like, it's efficient. He didn't make any big mistakes. Okay? But still, you're like, damn, we're paying you 45 million dollars a year. We'd like some plays on offense every now and then. A little more explosive ability.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I think that's what I missed from, from Denver altogether. Uh, you know, nonetheless, they got the win. Defense made the big stop. And they went down and got the clutch field goal drive at the end of the football game. That's all that mattered. It was an ugly football game. Yes. Not necessarily the most fun game to watch this Sunday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, kind of, like the ultimate of the ultimate days, I don't know what the hell it means. Second to last.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Packers, they gotta find something on offense. They do. It's just, it's not sustainable the way they're playing, what they're doing right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, Denver is who they are. I don't know if I expect a whole lot to change here. I'm gonna be interested to see what kind of seller Denver is here during the trade deadline this week. That's gonna be interesting to see.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, but the Packers, yea, defense has been a little underwhelming. Running the ball has not been able, something I think they thought they were going to be able to lean on more this year. And then Jordan Love.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, good first two weeks of the year, but kind of plateaued if not gone backwards here the last three or four weeks to where, yeaah, I think they're, they're worried about him and it's changed their play calling and their mentality on the offensive side of the ball because they don't trust him all the way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Drive in. He had like a slot fade by Raheem Mozart.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And kinda threw it off his back foot, the ball fluttered in the air and the safety got over there and intercepted it. Or it was Darius Slay, I think, who came off a receiver. He went over and got it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think he was covering waddle downfield, uh, but because the ball floated in the air so long, it allowed him to go get the ball and it goes back to something I'm kind of mad. You know, I picked the Dolphins to win the football game. Sure. I did. I know that, you know, we've talked about the Eagles have been kind of inconsistent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought the Dolphins maybe would kinda have this as their like, hey, we're for real type of party here. But, eh, you know, in the NFL, it's more times than not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Size beats speed. Size beats speed. The size of the Eagles was just too much for the Dolphins. Throughout the game. It really was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, both sides of the line of scrimmage, the Eagles had the advantage. Gosh, even when Hertz was thrown to A.J. Brown, it looked like the Dolphins were like half the size of him. They were bouncing off him every time he caught the football. Uh, yeaah, so there was issues there. But the, uh, Eagles played a really good football game. I thought it was really honestly,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Other than hurts, interceptions, or fumble, which is gonna happen, I don't mean that. I thought it was the best they looked, physically on the field. They flied around the field, they were aggressive, they bullied, they kinda looked more like the


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, it could. Exactly right. Yeaah. I hear that. You know, yeaah. Would the game be a little different if it was down in Miami on the short grass and it was 80 degrees and humid and, you know, the ball's sticky and, you know, Tua feels good and all that? Sure. But that's gonna be the thing the Dolphins are gonna have to deal with.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean that's, they're gonna be the, that's the thing everybody questions about the Dolphins. Is this gonna work?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Have they got to play in Kansas City and it's five degrees late in January? Right? You know, it's the same thing, you know, a lot of people have wondered here. When the game gets a little, ooh, it's cold and it gets slowed down and ooh, the grass is a little long and it's not conducive to running 4-1-5 track meet team. Yeah, can they handle it that way?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, you know, the Dolphins being a little banged up on the offensive line certainly hurt them. You know, Xavion Howard hurt them because he was the one guy on their team that could match up with AJ Brown and give them a little flexibility. But all in all, it was like, it just felt like the Eagles


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Could slow death the Dolphins defense more times than not. Like oh, 5 yard pass.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, 6 yard run, oh 12 yard pass, oh Jalen scrambles and finds somebody open for 10, oh 4 yard run, 5 yard, it felt like they could kind of do that all game long.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where you felt like with the Dolphins on that side of the ball, you were like, oh man, it's work. It's work. Can they get Tyreek in space again? Oh, they can. Maybe they still have a chance. I mean, that's kind of how it felt watching the game throughout.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's, I mean, he's not Megatron, but it's, like, the physicality, I know what you're talking about. Yeah, that's why I put the ish on there. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know, I know, I know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like 90, 90-10. Right. He gets it every time. I feel like if you throw him a slant or some under route, you go, the first guy's not gonna tackle him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know? He had, how many, how many balls did he catch in the second half where it looked like it was third and six, he caught the ball at five yards, and then was like, rawr, and got eight yards. And he was like, no, you're not bringing me down with, you know, one of your small DBs. He's a physical specimen. He fits their football team. Their physical specimens throughout.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As we ended last year, as me saying, and I'm gonna say the same thing this year, he's definitely, without a doubt,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One of the three best receivers in football. Like, without a doubt. I don't give a shit how many balls Devontae Adams catches or Stephon Diggs catches. It starts the conversation with Tyree Kill.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's like Bobby, yeah, I was gonna say, is that Bobby Lane's top receiver? Probably. I mean, I think it would be, right? Late 50s, early 60s? That's what I would've thought. Uhm, but, you know what that is? To your point? Megatron-ish.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe. I never told you this. I'll make it quick. But either way, we're the Bucs. We have a top five pick. We're thinking about taking a receiver. Oh, you haven't told me this. Okay, so we're thinking about taking a receiver. I've lost my spleen. It's the next offseason, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I get on a private plane with John Gruden and Bruce Allen and they want me to go throw to Calvin Johnson. Let's look at the future, our quarterback. I can't throw. I'm not like, I'm like nervous. I'm like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do they realize what they're about to see from me? I mean, I can't like throw a baseball seven feet, let alone I'm going to go out here and do a workout. But for some reason I said yes to it. I don't know what I was doing. Okay. I definitely improved Calvin Johnson's draft stock that day. He, I was throwing ducks and balls.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yep. And what draft pick did you guys have? I want to say we had four or five, I don't know, maybe somewhere in there, four or five. I think we ended up taking a guard. I think we took Dalvin, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, we took Gaines Adams from Clemson R.I.P. to Gaines Adams. Right, I don't know if you remember, he died with a little heart condition a few years back. Uh, but damn, that's, that's, that was that draft. Okay, but yes, I helped him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, the first half of this football game was a blast to watch. I mean, it was an offensive shootout. The ball was going back and forth down the field. And it was just like, I mean, my homes had, I think, 3-0-5 at halftime throwing the football. Right? So that's the kind of first half we were having.

[Assistant] You know, the Chargers defense, wait, just to let you know, it's official, they suck, okay? That's official. Like, we don't have to worry about it anymore. They are horrible, alright? It's kind of embarrassing. And, I mean, you know, like, Travis Kelce, yea, 12 or 179, like, you broke down. I'm gonna say on seven or eight of them, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's my homes. They do things on offense that stress you out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They have people going deep, two guys going deep, a guy going short, and then Kelsey who kinda looks like he's going semi-deep, and then he finds a hole in the middle of the field, but the biggest thing he does is just when Mahomes sits there and nobody's open, and then he starts to attack the line of scrimmage,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kelsey is a wizard at finding the right place to be


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, quarterback friendly, 12 and 15 yards down the field.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then of course, Mahomes is always looking for him in those situations because he knows Kelsey is going to find the right spot to sit down and catch the football. So that's where it becomes tough. You're right. It's not always on the defense. A lot of their completions today were, it felt like that, where it was like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The normal rhythm of the play wasn't to Kelsey. It was like, oh, nobody was open. Now I gotta start moving. Now I'll find Kelsey. And that's where they're, they're of course extremely dangerous.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's a hot take there by Patrick Mahomes. He'll be a Hall of Famer one day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, now, hey, you nailed the day, yeah. Well, he, he can come somewhere close.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Chargers have the ball, they're driving down the field, right? You're going, wow. You know, in a half wear, it feels like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They've kinda, were getting controlled by the Chiefs. They had, Mahomes had just thrown an interception to Asante Samuel. Okay? Where he had MVS.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wide open on a poster. I want to say wide open, but he should have thrown it there. Instead, he threw it to a covered McColl-Hardman. Now, the Chargers, okay, wait, wait, the Chargers got stopped on that trial. Let me just make sure I get this all clear here. Okay, no, no, I was right. Uh, no, I'm still not right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm confused here. Where did I lose this? Hold on. The big play of the game, I'm just gonna get to this. Let's just say the big play of the game was Mahomes to Kelsey. Alright, moving on to the next thing. The big play was the, I think it was gonna be 24 off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's what I'm missing. The Chargers drive down, they got close, it's 3rd and 8th, they're on the 8 yard line. Excuse me, I was a drive early, okay? So it's 24-17 Chiefs. You go, it's 3rd quarter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The chargers go down and you're going, man, it's gonna be 24-all here. Because Mahomes had just thrown a complete pass to Bell, the tight end who fumbled. Sorry, I had my turnovers mixed up. There we go, yep. Excuse me everybody at home.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So now the Chargers got the ball. Yes, they're down 24 to 17, but you're going damn, you know, they were kind of getting trolled, controlled. It felt like the Chiefs were about to go up two scores before Bell fumbled the ball. Okay. And now here comes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Herberton Company. 11 plays, 73 yards. 11 plays, exactly. And now it's 3rd and 8th over the middle and Charles Omeynehu, Omeynehu, I always butcher his name, gets his hands up, tips the ball in the air.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the Chiefs get an interception. I mean, that was a huge point in the football game. At least a turning point there where you felt like, Chargers got a little momentum. They're gonna be able to make things tight here in this one. And it kinda felt like the Chiefs kinda controlled it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll be interested to see what he's got, because it certainly was odd that he didn't get on the field with the Jets or never found a role. And we've talked about the Chiefs need somebody with a little pizzazz or another rocket up their ass on the offensive side of the ball.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I got scared. I was about to call a mic on Football Night in America, and I was like, wait.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What? I kinda blanked out and I just went with Bobo. I did.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're using this guy. He's not on there just to like, we're going to run the football and give our receivers the rest. So let's put him out there, right? I could tell by watching the game going, no, they're putting him in a position here where they, they have no problem with feeding him the ball or him being the first or second read.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, and again, yeaah, you see his size. The guy can run routes. He's got a, he really is a little bit puka nakuwa to me, honestly. Except, he might have a little bit more of a down the field threat there, but a, but a similar body and type of style. Yeaah, he's 6'4".


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like you said, Cardinals are pesky, they can run the football, right? That's really where it starts. I mean, their one touchdown drive of the game was a bunch of big runs followed by Dobbs big run, uh, touchdown run for 25 yards. The Seahawks...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, they have moments of looking really good and great and all that, but we still had the red zone issues. Once again, it just feels like there's more yards and plays.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then there are numbers on the scoreboard at times, right? One of three in the red zone. One of three in the red zone. Gina threw a bad interception one time, kind of rolling out to the left, where I think he thought he was going to hit Bobo in the end zone, and kind of under threw it, or didn't see the underneath defender, and they picked it off around the one or two yard line.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's where, you know, they've been a little, you know, inconsistent. DJ Dallas fumbles upon return at one point, sets up the short field for, you know, Arizona. So a little bit like last week where, hey, I see the talent with Seattle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think it's all come together on the offensive side of the ball quite yet, but it was a good start.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was one of the first games I can remember in a while where Kenneth Walker actually ran through holes and had somewhere to go, right? That is a problem with him sometimes, right? Seeing the hole and hitting the hole. You know, maybe, I think they just have a hard time opening up holes altogether. That could be true too. They're a little inconsistent in that department.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, but yeaah, hopefully this kind of brings it together for them. Devon Witherspoon certainly popped a few times in the football game. I like the Seahawks defense. I think it's creative. It's aggressive. You know, like you saw, other than that one drive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean really, Arizona couldn't do much else during the football game. There wasn't much to speak of there. I don't know if there was anything else I wanted to hit on there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hawks fumbled a snap at one point, right? That gave the ball to the Cardinals. It just seems like


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dumb shit is happening to them a little too often. Yeah. Uh, for a lack of a better way to say it. But I will still stay. I still think the Hawks are dangerous. I do. There's too many playmakers everywhere on that football team. Offensively and defensively. And let's see if they can get them. Our true test will be when their O-line gets totally healthy. Uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought that was the story of the game. I don't know if you heard me on Football Night America when I did the highlight, but really I said for lack of a better way to say it, the Bears just kicked the crap out of the Raiders. They out hit them on both sides of the football, uh, they ran the ball almost it seemed like at will throughout the football game, running for 173 yards, rushing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right? Just seemed like the more physical team on the football field. And then the Raiders offense never really seemed to get anything going. Josh Jacobs and the offensive line, they got their ass whipped in the football game. Yeaah, so that's what I looked at. It looked more like just a physical whooping by the Bears. Bears are...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Definitely have turned the corner on the defensive side of the ball. I'm not saying they're like anything great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But early in the year, they were looking like they were the worst defense in football. You know, Iberfluis has definitely calmed that down to where they're respectable on that side. You know, they got some young guys, they got some new parts there. They're still getting everybody used to their system and what they do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, but yeaah, all in all, I thought it was a good performance by them. Defense got a pick six late in the football game. The Raiders are disappointing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Raiders are another one where it's just like, if it's not Devonte Adams taking over, what is there? And it hasn't been Devonte Adams taking over. No, because everybody knows that. So it's just like, stop Devonte Adams and we don't really think anything can beat you, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, we saw Jacobi Myers in one game kind of become a guy where they fed him the ball a bunch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that seems to be the problem, let alone without Jimmy Garoppolo. I mean, Brian Hoyer's play was below average.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He wasn't the Browns quarterback, was he? Wasn't anything like that. I don't know what team it was. No.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I think they're valid questions. I do. You know, I think the fact that they haven't found a quarterback.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, there are offensive lines playing the way it's played. I think the surprising to me is the offense took a step back from where it was last year. And, you know, last year there you were, Devontae Adams led the NFL in receiving, and you had the number one rusher in the football, and Josh Jacobs. Now, you got nothing that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, and then you had average quarterback play by Derek Carr last year on that team. And they still did those things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right? So yeaah, it does seem like they took a step back. But like we've talked about, the offensive line hasn't been good from the get-go of the year. And...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just think they lack playmakers on both sides of the ball. Like if Max Crosby doesn't make a play for the Raiders defense, who else is going to? Like there's nobody else that like, you know, again, I'm being general and a household that's just a normal football man is going to go, oh yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We gotta watch out for, um, uh, uh, yeaah, let's see, uh, Marcus Peters on the, on the Raiders. Like, who is it? Who's the next guy behind Max Crosby that you go watch out for?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, and then on the offensive side of the ball, without the run game, the offensive line not going good, Josh Jacobs finally just getting into shape, but not going to be himself this year, and then a non-quarterback, yeaah, they got issues there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And yeah, Josh and, and you know, Mick Lombardi are gonna have to find some ways to be a little more creative and, and you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Draw up some plays to get them going here, but I don't think the NFL's caught onto them. I just don't think they've gotten to the...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, have the run game to go along with it like I told you has been an issue. So yea, the Raiders are in trouble. They're one of the definite worst three and four football teams.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that didn't make sense. He's had some questionable discussions like that, certainly as of late, right? We had the, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We had the Packers game, there was a questionable decision, you know, late in the game where he kicked a long field goal and they missed it and he gave Jordan Love and company the short field where I go, man, you either go for it or you punt it there. And then he had the other, what was that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Steelers Sunday Night Football game, where he kicked the field goal late, instead of maybe going for the touchdown, remember?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he's a natural thrower of the football. Let me just say that. He sees the field pretty damn well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's impressive that a kid like that, he won the backup job for the Chicago Bears as a rookie from a Division II school, right? You know, had a nice sidearm throw that we showed on Football Night in America. He's natural in that way, let alone he has the size and athletic ability to be something. So we'll see where this goes, but great first performance by him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, well I mean when they put those uniforms on, the 86 Giants come out to play, okay? They put those helmets on, it becomes a different football team. I'm telling you, they should just stick with it, there's something to it. They play giant football today, I did like it. But, like, alright, Washington,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right? One of the things we questioned about them going into the season was their own line, right? And oddly enough, I feel like the best game they protected the whole year was against the Eagles, right? It really is. I remember, I don't know if you remember in that game, I was like, I'm worried they're going to get steamrolled, and they kind of hung in there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Most of the other games though, they have gotten Steamrolled by everybody else. I mean, today...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I know how, yeah, he holds the ball a little too long, and sometimes he could throw the ball away, but instead of throwing it away, he just takes a sack. Okay, we could deal with that, whatever. But it's, it didn't matter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean there was nowhere to go. He had people in his face, you know, and as we keep doing on a weekly basis, this Giants defense is good. It's extremely well coached.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're creative, they stress out your protection plans. They were sending five basically every pass. That's kind of what it looked like throughout the football game. It looked like they went, wait, we're going to send five, we're kind of comfortable with what you're running down field, we got a field for it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we're gonna make one of our one on ones is gonna win this matchup here. And they did throughout the day. I mean, Leonard Williams was awesome. This was a game that was uncomfortably close for no reason.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right? I mean it was 14-7, and the Giants had a lot of opportunities to kind of blow this open. Graham Gunnell missed a field goal, that's for sure, we know that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We had the, you know, drop pick by Kayvon Thibodeau, uhm, you know, we had the drop punt by Sterling Shepard, right? So there was a lot of moments in the football game where you were like, the Giants are about to take this over and go up two scores.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And could never really put it together without screwing it up themselves, really. I didn't look at it and go, oh man, Washington's really, you know, making some plays here. It was more like, no, the Giants are kind of messing things up. And of course, then here, the other thing you see for two weeks in a row when Saquon Barkley's on the football field, they're, they are a different team. It's he's a guy that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, as we talk about, you gotta worry about his ability to...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Catch a toss sweep and go to the house. Or catch a screen and go to the house. Or just run out of the backfield and, oh yeaah, catch a 32 yard pass from Tyrod Taylor and then run down the sideline and make a guy miss a stop and then restart and then score a touchdown. Right? So, like, just one guy like that can open up the offense for them a little bit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I think we've seen that two weeks in a row, let alone Tyrod Taylor's playing good ball. They got Darren Waller the ball.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Again, it goes back to what we've said. The Giants and these type of games right here, 14 to 7, 17, 10, 13, 10, 17, 14, that's the only way Giants can win. It really is. If it goes beyond that, they're going to lose. If we go past 24, the Giants cannot win the game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If they can keep it under 20, I like their chances. And that's kinda what they're gonna have to do. But to make Washington with those receivers,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We gotta hear that Jonathan Allen sound bite. We gotta hear it. Do we give Pete a second chance though? I mean, I don't know. The sound bite is so good. He doesn't sound confident. It should get a second chance, but if it doesn't work out, then we'll just start


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What did he say about it? He just said, uhm, do you want me to really say what he said? A lot of bleeps, and he's sick of this bleep, and we gotta play better, and I'm sick of losing these bleeping games, and you know, this bleep better clean up soon. Something like that. I would say that's pretty close to it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think they're like, gonna have moments, be a pain in the butt, but no, they're not gonna clean it up soon. What, you know, one, defense


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not playing up to standards or doesn't show me any signs of going, oh yea, it's about to turn around and they're gonna, they're gonna be one of the better units in football. Like we've been talking about, it's disappointing what they are on that side of the ball. Offensively, you know, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think they'll have moments against bad defenses, but I don't know if they're gonna look real good against any of the, you know, top half of the NFL, because of their inability to protect, Powell's still young, and they are still learning a new


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Protect him a little bit, right? Uh, because again, back to the offensive line thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think they're ever going to be able to run the ball consistently against the better defenses in football. Or a defensive line like the Giants have. Like people might not know, the Giants have size and physicality. They might not have like anybody that scares you off the edge as a pass rusher, so what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But like, you know, Thibodeau, Jahad Ward are really good run defenders and you're not going to bully them in that department, right? So yeaah, I don't see that Washington is going to turn this around by any stretch of the imagination.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Clearly dominated today. You know, I also didn't bring up Saekwon fumbling on the 10 yard line going into score 2, right? So, I'm like, as I'm sitting here, I'm going, wait, there's more plays here that the Giants messed up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That kinda squashed this from being a total, I don't wanna say a blowout, but at least a convincing two score, maybe low three score type of win. Uh, but either way, you don't mess with me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, one, offensive line played as good as it's played, and two, let's let Daniel Jones have a game with Saquon Barkley in the, in the lineup. I think that, that is a big difference maker, right? I think you get situations and personnel sets when Saquon Barkley's on the field where


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These teams might play at a more aggressive coverage because they're worried about stopping something Barkley that then therefore lends itself to, hey, look, we're man to man with Jalen Hyatt or Waller or whoever, right? But Tyron Taylor, you know, is showing that he's one of the best backups in football.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's what it felt like. I mean, even from the get-go, even when the game was 14-6, you were like, wait, this game should be 28-6. I mean, again, it was...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jacksonville doing dumb stuff, not me necessarily sitting there going, oh wow, right? They had the guys run into each other on the punt return, right? That gave the Saints a short field. Christian Kirk has a huge gain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mistakes by Jacksonville. Yeah, credit to New Orleans for kinda hanging around and, you know, being a pain in the ass. Uh, I, I do give him credit for that, but, but nonetheless, I, I still look at Jacksonville and go watch out. With the Saints, I mean, they're like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're quite arguably the most boring team to watch in football, right? And what Derek Carr did on Thursday night, uhm, he should be embarrassed. He should be embarrassed. The fact that he would yell that everybody except himself, the whole game, right? It didn't matter what it was. And there were some plays where I show replays and I want to go,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wait, that guy was open, and you're yelling at the guy that you threw the covered ball to. Like, that, that was not a good look for Derek Carr. You know, for him to be sitting there, you know, just...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Constantly looking like anybody that's watching the game. Listen, it's just me. It's everybody that I've talked to about that game. It was not a good look for him to be sitting there blaming everybody else, pointing the fingers at the every play, right? So I didn't love that necessarily, but then, you know, it goes back into two.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, all that firepower? 55 throws for 301 yards? You know? I mean, who'd you just talk to about a few minutes ago? Gardner mentioned you had 15 completions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For three hundred and something yards, right? This is thirty-three completions. And it's a dinkin' dunk vest. And it's lack of aggression. And yeaah, there's just a toughness of the Saints that's missing in my opinion that makes me really


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not have the confidence to back them to think like anything special is gonna turn around or they're gonna make some sort of run here down the stretch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even on the Forrester Muro throw, like throw a laser right at his head. Why are you leading the big 6'6, 255 down tight end, stretching him out into the corner? Like yea, he should have caught it. I got it. I know that. But why is it laying it up there?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Put some authority behind it. Throw the ball. Right? Let alone, his hair is really black.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, it's really black. Like, he's dying his hair. It's a little odd. That's the second thing everybody talked about after the game. Was Derrick Carr pointing fingers and then going, wait, his hair kinda looks ridiculous. Okay? So he's gotta fix that. Go natural, Derrick Carr.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean this is a rough week for the Vikings to catch the 49ers. Now they might get lucky as far as what Debo's out, right? We'll see about McCaffrey tomorrow. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I told Kyle to keep all his plays in. So, so he'll be ready to go there. I don't, I don't imagine the Vikings being able to consistently stop the 49ers offense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just think there's too much firepower there, and even though I love B-Flow...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And what he does on the defensive side of the ball with the Minnesota Vikings, I don't think they have enough good players to stop that attack by the 49ers. Other side of the ball, almost feel the same way without Justin Jefferson, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who's gonna be the guy that's gonna scare the 49ers or make plays or help them drive the ball consistently? The Vikings are not a good running football team. So now it just becomes, stop Kirk Cousins and, you know, one of the two receivers, right, whether that's Osborne or Addison.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, you know, don't let play action burn you. And I just have a hard time seeing the Vikings have a consistent offensive, you know, showing your explosion, uh, with that style of football. Alright, well have fun watching that one. You know it. Monday Night Football. And we're done. We're done. We made it. 11.57 on a Sunday night. Week 7 is in the books.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's getting cooler. It is. It's a little wet out there, rainy, misty, and we have a touchdown. The Bills are going to take the lead with an extra point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thursday Night Football with the Chiefs and a Monday Night Football Preview. But before we go...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes. Is very special. He's fast too. Right. So he's a, he's a...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Serious threat as a running quarterback, as everyone listening to this probably knows. Uh, but there are things, and we were even talking before the game with Matt Castle and Joshua Perry and Mike Robinson.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was like, there are things that he does obviously in college that you just can't do in the NFL and you do wonder if he is creating some habits, some bad habits that will be difficult to break and then against good defenses, those bad habits turn into interceptions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How he responds from that humbling experience itself, Ben. Alright, let's get into it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We said Larry Zonka is drinking. Oh. At least he is posting about drinking here. Pop the champagne. Cheers, baby. There they are. We have no more undefeated team. Look at that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That can't be a current picture of tonight, right? They didn't just all assemble, like they whipped out the bat signal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's start right there with the Browns defeating the 49ers, 19-17. We'll get to the Eagles here in a second.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They could have won this game, right? Jake Moody, the rookie kicker. They drafted in the third round, missed a 41 yarder. I'm a little upset.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At the conservative, I'm never a fan of settling for 40 plus yard field goals, especially with a rookie kicker on the road in a stadium that both kickers were having trouble making some field goals there. And so maybe you can get into that later, but continue with your point and your big takeaway from this one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Huge mistake. I mean, the Browns were up by three at that point. We're in the fourth quarter. Right. That's total. That switched the game once again. And that was a situation where the Browns could have been like, oh crap. We did just blow up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so in totality, how do we assess this performance from Brock Purdy in this one? 12 of 27.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jake Moody makes that field goal. He led a game winning drive at the end of the game. As you see the final drive, he was 3 of 7, 42 yards. The elements were not perfect for a quarterback. How do we come away from this game thinking about the quarterback?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and we should definitely give the Browns credit for all that they did in this one because I think that this defense is proving to us that if they are not, you know, top one in the league, I mean, they're, they're in the conversation for the best defense in football.

[Assistant] The 49ers, undefeated no more. The Philadelphia Eagles, undefeated no more. The New York Jets, how about this? 20 to 14, they get the win.

[Assistant] Israel DMS7 says damn okay to the Jets Tetris secondary. Jets defense won the game for them and have held all the elite quarterbacks in check. Really, at no point in this game did I really think the Eagles were gonna lose. No. Until Jalen Hurst threw the pick at the end. Agreed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're high. Yeah. For her. So that was, that is embarrassing. That's embarrassing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and good job back there, Gabby and Morgan and Pete pushing the buttons late on the Sunday night as always. Um, you know what time it is? It's time to go inside the numbers powered by AWS. We'll take a deeper look at, at Jalen Hurts here. And so he was pressured on 21 of his 50 dropbacks. That's 42%.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the loss against the Jets, Hertz had a three and seven record in 10 career starts when pressured at least 40%.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, you need some things to fall in your favor, yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bryce Hough was awesome for the Jets in this one. Uh, generated a career high 9 pressures on 28 pass rushes in that win. You see 25.7% was his pressure rate. It is the highest pressure rate since 2002. Wow. For next gen stats. So congratulations Bryce Hough. They just got so many guys that can do that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, that was Inside the Numbers powered by AWS. The jet's three and three now. They're in the mix.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So those are the two games that Larry Zonka and his friends were celebrating on this Sunday. Moving over to defense wins, dot dot dot, regular season games. We got four games to talk about here. And one of these games, we do want to talk about the quarterback as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, damn okay, says Compass Traveler to Jared Goff, just being a great quarterback for the Lions. Lions beat the Buccaneers, 20-6 the final score. Who knew that when we made that trade with the Rams two years ago, we were getting the better quarterback. We should have traded the first round picks. I love Matt Stafford, he's great, but Jared Goff has been awesome.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, 353 yards I think was the final count for him in this game. Uh, there it is, 30 of 44, 353, two touchdowns. Like, how has he transformed into, into this guy in this offense?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Look at this, Lions fans are tweeting us, the Lions are legit Super Bowl contenders right at you, Chris Sims. That's right baby!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That is almost more remarkable, because we saw this coming with the offense. Last year, there were signs. Amanrassain Brown is becoming a premier wide receiver.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're gonna be able to run the ball. The offensive line's awesome. The defensive transformation is almost more surprising for them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's for sure. Lion's defense was rolling, and by the way, the Bucks need to just go permanently with the creamsicle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They own the color pewter. They own the color. Let's make our color a known at. What's the color for Chris Sims on button? Can we do that? Yeaah. Yeaah. Right? We'll put our trademark on it. Uh, so big win for the Lions. Defense look good there against the Bucs. Big win for the Jaguars. Defense looks good against the Colts. Gardner Minshew was back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Look at their last three games here too, Falcons versus the Bills and now the Colts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Travis ETN broke a couple on the offensive side there too for the Jaguars. They're four and two. It's their best start since 2007. They take a one game lead now in the AFC South and Indianapolis now has not won in Jacksonville since 2014.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just can't win there. Indianapolis has not beat Jacksonville. That's not right. In Jacksonville. In Jacksonville since 2014.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Still not certain if he's going to elect for the surgery that would sideline him for the rest of the year, but uh, we'll keep our eye on that for sure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bengals, their defense, uh, steps up in a defensive slugfest versus the Seattle Seahawks. 17-13 was the final score here. Geno Smith, tough day for him, no touchdowns, two interceptions, was sacked four times, but this game also hanging in the balance late.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then in my notes, I just kept writing down the names. Hendrickson, Hubbard, Hubbard, Reader, and then BJ Hill, defensive line. I mean that's basically what saved the game at the end here for the Bengals.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they are 3-0 versus the NFC West. They are 0-3 versus the AFC. They play the 49ers coming up in week number 8. That's an interesting quartet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They scored 24 against the Titans, 24 to 16 was the final in this one, but I think for the second week in a row, the Ravens left just so many points on the field. That's the point. So many field goals. Eric DePasta.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or is it a different concern that you have with the offense?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, for Lamar Jackson completed 70% of his passes in the game. That was not the case for the quarterbacks on the other side. Ryan Tannehill, Malik Willis combined to throw.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yards, sacked six times, one interception, Tannehill did have to leave the game, injured his right ankle, uh, earlier in the game, uh, he had surgery, um, on that same ankle last season, so that's a bit of a worrying sign there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For Ryan Tannehill. Malik Willis came in the game and did not find life any easier going up against this defense. And so, not a whole lot. There were, it was what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A Derrick Henry touchdown that made it a five point game, but I don't think it was really ever that close.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We got seven seconds on the play clock right now. Dayball's a little nervous. Uh oh. They're not gonna, oh, timeout Buffalo.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, it didn't look like the Giants were all that close to getting that play off, and there were only four seconds left on the playcock, but, alright, uh, this is gonna be impossible now. Alright, let's try to get into this next section real quick. Wide receiver difference makers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, this is the Dolphins beating the Panthers, 42 to 21, the final score. And I think you know who we're gonna talk about here as the Difference Maker. A guy you said on Football Night in America should be the number one MVP candidate right now, Tyreek Hill.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, here we go. Dayball comes down to one more play. What do you call here? If you're a dayball on that offensive side.
