Our number two is ready for you, and it's all
about Monday night football. We'll start with the late game
here on the Ben Mathers Show podcast and the Texans
and the Seahawks playing the B game, not the A game.
And it was a win for Seattle.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
In a game.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
It really wasn't all that close. So how are things
looking for Texans quarterback CJ.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Stroud?
Speaker 2 (00:26):
You told me you found your forever quarterback. How's that
working out, Houston? And are you satisfied with Sam Darnold
and his play in Seattle? Not a great performance for
Donald also in Philadelphia bringing Brandon Graham back out of retirement.
Is this a smart or a desperation move from the
(00:47):
geel he goes. We'll talk about that as well. Right

Speaker 2 (02:32):
So our lead this how we'll get back to the
baseball And I know some of you guys are on
holds to want to talk about the Blue Jays and
the Dodgers in the World Series. That is the matchup
for twenty twenty five. One of those two teams will
be celebrating a championship. But our lead this hour is
from the NFL. We'll start with the late Monday night
football game. And it was late, late start. The second
(02:54):
half of the Monday Night football was like a coke current.
It wasn't a stand a loan doubleheader because they the
games did go side by side late in the early
game where the Buccaneers and Lions played Detroit winning that game.
So the second half you had the scuffling CJ.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Stroud. C J.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Stroud and the Texans their stage coach rolled into Seattle,
the Pacific Northwest. They're a playdate with Sam Darnold and
the Seattle Seahawks. This is the b side game. Now,
you know this is the less important Monday night game.
Now what is the tell that the Seattle Seahawks Houston
Texan game was less valuable to the NFL? You know
(03:40):
this when you see dan Orlofsky in the broadcast booth,
that is a dead giveaway he's doing the crap game.
The good game is where Joe Buck and Aikman, go
the bad game, they said to Orlofsky. So mister Owen
sixteen from the Lions was out there broadcasting the game
with two other jabebronis now.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
I don't know if you watched it or not. We
had on here into the late night hours.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Ended actually not that long before we cracked the microphones
here at Fox Sports Radio and Jackson Smith and Jigba
getting it done yet again, having the breakout domination situation.
He was good last year, he's better this year so far,
NFL leading fifth one hundred plus yard receiving game, giving
every fantasy football owner a bit of a chubby, very
(04:24):
excited about that, as the Seahawks beat the Texans twenty
seven to nineteen in a game that was not that
close on Monday night.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Football in total.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Now, Smith and Jigba, he caught eight passes in this
game for a hundred twenty three yards. But the better
story is in the losing locker room. And oh my god,
what has happened to mister Irrigation's Houston Texans and their
offense or lack thereof? And the story here is always
about the quarterback, because y'all told me a couple of
(04:54):
years ago that you'd found your forever quarterback. You told
me that, Oh my god, they got so lucky. How
did they find this? Oh my god?
Speaker 1 (05:02):
How you feeling right now? Everything good?
Speaker 4 (05:03):
No?
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Okay, so that is a good jumping off point. Let
us discuss the question how are things looking for the
Texans quarterback? See j Stroud at this point. So I've
got fishtail, bubble, and schnazola, and we will combine all
(05:25):
of these things together and we are gonna make the
Baba ganoosh. We're gonna make the Baba ganoosh. All right, So,
first of all, I don't want to hear the he's young.
I don't want to hear that. So if you're planning
on sending me a message on social media's young and
give him a break, or calling up and telling me,
well they had the offensive line, they got some issues
(05:46):
on that, or the injuries, or the Seattle's just so
good with their defense, I don't want to hear it.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Okay, I want to hear it now.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
I did a monologue before the NFL season started, and
I got a lot of crap for it because people
in Houston are mostly whimps, and they got very offended
that I dared point out that this was a player
that was not going the right his career was not
going the right direction.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
They had bad year last year, CJ.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Stroft and I mentioned something along the lines I'm paraphrasing
here that it was a crossroad situation for CJ.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Straft.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
And when you're in the industrial complex of the hot take,
you've got to take the fire, right. I mean, there's
a lot of low information fans, a lot of morons
that are fun boys, and they don't understand reality, right.
It's one of the cool advantages you have when you
don't approach things that way, and so dumb people are like,
oh my god, what are you talking about CJ.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Stroud? He's so great? Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Yeah, I'm not getting as many of those messages right now.
I wonder why.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
I wonder why. Right boo hoo hoo.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
You had drafted the guy to be the dude, to
be the mayor. That's where you drafted him. And he
looked good early on in his NFL career. They thought
they had found their unicorn. Right now, they found a
donkey with a fake horn on its nose. That's it
right there. Boom, all right, and supposed to be the
(07:11):
guy who lifts the tide, lifts all boats, the great
quarterback lifts all players around him, and he was gonna
lift this franchise out of mediocrity, the Texans, and not
the guy that is like the the aux in the
ditch right stuck in the mud. Now, if this was
a fishtail, let's just assume CJ. Stroud's career was a fishtail.
(07:34):
If CJ was a fish, he would be a flounder,
a flounder, just flat, lifeless down there at the bottom.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
C J.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Stroud in this game, twenty three of forty nine, two
hundred and twenty nine yards, he averaged a puke in
your mouth four point seven yards per pass attempt. He
had an interception, He had a touchdown, but the touchdown
came in garbage time with a couple of minutes to
go in the game. He was sacked three times, constantly
running around, had no idea how to deal with a
pass rush. You'd think he'd learned that by the time
(08:04):
he got to the NFL and was just generally the
word is blah. He was blah. That's the word that
is not the stuff of a franchise quarterback.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
And this is a major issue.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
And if this doesn't get better, the Texans are going
to have to go to the market and get a quarterback.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
He's been that bad this year. If you look at
his full body work.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Where the text gona be like, listen, this is back
to back bad years and this is no third year
jump or anything like that. This is who this guy
is at this point, and so what are we going
to do? What are we going to do so something
don't look like your franchise quarterback looks like just your
standard garden variety game manager.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Just blah, that's his stuff.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
And the first five drive you talk about going on
the road, trying to set a tone, set an example,
first five drives, punt, punt, punt, punt, punt. Houston had
fifteen third down plays. There were two of fifteen on
third down. Houston also got a defensive touchdown and C. J.
Stroud was pressured from the Seattle pass rush throughout the
(09:12):
entire night. He was unable to adjust. The soft underbelly
was exposed. Yet again, this is not new. It's just
a reminder. This is who the ballplayer is, right and
so Seattle I got a good defense. It's not an
all time great defense. They have a good defense to
the Seahawks, and I know that Nostreudinis was shaking his
head yes, And so they were able to put some
(09:35):
pressure on CJ. Stroud and he never adjusted, which I
think is the job description, that you have to adjust,
that you're not gonna have everything's gonna go great for you.
They're not gonna keep giving you clean pockets and training
wheels and just short passes, and at some point you're
gonna have to open things up. That's life in the NFL.
And as for the Nico Collins injury and all the
(09:55):
other various excuses, c J. Stroud sucked before Nico Collins
left the game. And that's life in the league, Cupcake,
That's how it goes. And so you make it work.
You find a way. The elite guys they rise above it.
And he looks like a guy. He really looked like
this for a while. That's kind of along for the right.
(10:17):
He's not a bus driver, he's a bus rider. He's
like in the back of Roberto's bus. He's just kind
of in the back there.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
And so it was a gloomy night.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
The Texans are two and four. You are what your
record says you are and they are not good.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Now.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Meanwhile, in the winning locker room, the Seattle Seahawks who
win this game twenty seven to nineteen.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Again the late touchdown by c. J. Straud. But it's
one of these things.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
Where the Texans, the way they played and as good
as Seattle's defense played, should have been a bigger final
margin than it was. And so while they were in
control a lot. But how about Sam Darnell. Let's address
Sam Donald here and his performance. And he played, by
most accounts, he played okay, you know, he didn't in
(11:01):
one touchdown pass he had an interception. He also totally
eft it up and fumbled and gave Houston a touchdown.
I don't know what the hell that was what he
was trying to do on that, but it was a disaster.
So he f that up and the Texans scored a
touchdown when Donald was sacked and it was in the
(11:22):
end zone that was covered by Will Anderson in the
end zone that was in the third quarter for one
of the Houston touchdowns, the offense getting that one late touchdown.
But as far as Sam Donald's overall body work, he
was seventeen and thirty one. He completed less than fifty
five percent of his passes and averaged a little less
than seven yards per pass attempt. In Seattle does win
(11:43):
the football game. So they've got that. But do you
trust Sam Donald as a Seahawk that he's among the
better quarterbacks in the NFL if you go by just
the raw stats. So if you go by the stats,
you'd say, yes, you trust Sam Darnald. I don't just
go by the numbers, by the eyeball test. And it's
also a full body of work. And I look at
(12:06):
this like bubbles, and he's the bubble boy, and he's
not in the bubble of trust. I don't have Sam
Donald in there. I don't trust him. The Seahawks are
five and two now, they've got a really good record,
and they're trending towards a playoff idea or a playoff
season rather a playoff season here for Seattle.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
So they're looking like a playoff team.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
And just like in Minnesota, you know, he's better in
Minnesota than he wasn't Seattle.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
But just like that, I do not believe.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
I do not believe that we get to a late
season game or a wild card game for Seattle because
the Rams will win that division that you're gonna trust
Sam Donald to get her done in a big spot.
His reputation precedes him final fought. We move away from
the Monday night game. We go now to Philadelphia where
the Eagles are having problems.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
How do I know that they won? They beat Minnesota?
Speaker 2 (13:01):
How do I know they're having problems because defensive end
Brandon Graham. Yes, that Brandon Graham. He's been around forever,
but he went around this year. Has decided to come
out of retirement and is finalizing a deal.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Of reports that the deal's about.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Done here and announcement will come down sometime later here
on Tuesday, as we're doing this in real time in
the overnight, and Graham will join rejoin the Philadelphia football team.
So the longest tenured player in Eagles history is going
to come back for his sixteenth season. Question bringing Brandon Graham,
(13:42):
defensive end back Brandon Graham out of retirement. Is this
a smart move or a desperation move for the Eagles.
So this is a phone of friend move, is what
I wrote down on my scorecard. A phone of friend
move for the Eagles. Because if you check, you're Schnazola.
It certainly smells like desperation, like this is some carefully
(14:07):
laid out a roster plan, unless it isn't. This is
obviously on the panic side. The arrow's pointing at panic. Now,
if you know the story of the backstory in this,
Zadarius Smith decided he wanted to quit the NFL during
the season. He walked away. He said, I can't handle
this anymore. I'm done, and he quit, pulled the Andrew
luck and left the NFL mid season to retirement, and
(14:31):
took with him a player that, even though he didn't
have great stats compared to the other stiffs that the
Eagles have in that position, was productive. And so Brandon
Graham was supposed to be sitting on the beach somewhere
and sipping a nice pink lemonade, maybe a hard pink lemonade,
not lining up for third and eight before Halloween. But
(14:53):
here we are, and Brandon Graham is back, and this
is a deady boy. Things are not going well Philadelphia.
Despite the win over the Minnesota Vikings, things are not
going well in Philadelphia.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
And the Birds. This is what you know what this is?
They broke up.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
With their new girlfriend and they then sent a late
night text to their ex.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
And this is like when the X you know, it.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Doesn't really move out, but kind of moves out, you know,
you know what I mean, Like they leave some stuff behind,
like there's a you know, some shirts and some other
like toothbrush and some other crap they leave behind. So
just kind of marking their territory. So Brandon Graham like
marked his territory. And the Eagles are like, at let's
call this guy, Hey, who are you gonna call you?
Would you like to play for the Eagles? You already
(15:39):
played for the Eagles. And sure enough, boom, they started
making calls, Hey, we need some help, you want to play?
And he was on their call list and he answered
the phone, he answered the text, he wrote back, and
now they're they're back on the couch three weeks later
saying hey, hey, I missed you. Hey, come on back,
we miss you.
Speaker 5 (15:57):
You know.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
At this point, Graham is like an emotional support animal
for the Philadelphia Egles, and some people are upset because
this ruins the fairy tale. The fairy tale is athlete
plays a long career athlete wins Super Bowl. Fade to
black well. Brandon Graham, who has been part of the
(16:18):
glory days of the Philadelphia Egos. They've never had a
period of sustained success like they've had the last ten
years or so in Philadelphia, going back to the Nick
Foles playoff run and all that. So Brandon Graham was
part of all that. He won another super Bowl, he
walked away, and now because of a injury, he is back.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
And there you go.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
He's the connective tissue to the past decade, the glory
days of the Philadelphia Eagles. There and not the guy
who's going to get your double digit sacks. That's not happening.
He's just a warm blanket and you need a blankey.
He's a nostalgia blanket, Brandon Graham. And so good luck
on that.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
And Philly's playing like they're playing it up some of
the stories I've seen.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
That's like a story book reunion. They never intended for
this to happen. They never did. It's not one last
midnight rodeo in Green, All Green, Kelly Green. It's not
that at all. You can cue the orchestra and the
nice sappy music if you want, but in reality, this
is a thirty seven year old defensive end who had
(17:21):
decided he didn't want to play football. He didn't have
it in him. His body couldn't hold up and all
that stuff. And now despite the bald tires, the dense,
the cracks, the rust, all that stuff, he's back for
the Philadelphia. So again, there's a theme to this NFL
season where the teams that were supposed to be good
the teams that were supposed to be really really good
(17:43):
at this point, eh, Okay, the Chiefs are coming around,
But are they really coming around? You can't get too
excited about the win over the the Raiders. Now the
Lions win was good.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
Now was at home. They played well in that game.
All right.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
It is the Benow. If you'd like to comment on
any of this, you can join us right now. Now
we have a bit. We did it last week. It
was a success, and I think we're doing it again
right here. It's ask a weed Man. So if you'd
like to do ask a weed Man. His name's Billy.
He's a longtime listener of our show, a senior member
of the Mallem Militia, is a p one. He's been
with us for many, many years. Some of his biggest
(18:21):
hits on the show. There was one of the many
Hurricanes live in Miami and one of the many hurricanes
hit Miami, and without us asking him, he decided to
be our embedded reporter and called us all night from
a lifeguard tower on the beach in Miami as a
hurricane made land. And fortunately he's still alive. Otherwise we
(18:43):
would have lost our job for putting him on the
air all night. But he's he's there and if you
want to ask him a question, and of course we've
told him these will be mostly offensive questions, you can
ask him about anything. He's got an answer for everything,
literally everything. So if you want to call for that

creative name.

I don't think he actually, Oh.

It's a nice thought when people offer these Now every
once in a while, it does happen. Right, we made
the Vancouver meet and greet and Nico hooked us up.
I was wonderful at a great time in Vancouver. And
may I say, without us visiting Canada, the Blue Jays
don't make the World Series. We gave as goodwill ambassadors
from America. We gave our brothers and sisters in Canada
some love, and now the Blue Jays have rewarded Canada.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
Although there's only one blue Jay fan there there the
rest of them. Some of those guys hate blue Jay's.
I don't know why.
Speaker 9 (22:37):
But even though we were bird, I don't know why
they would hate a lovely bird.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
It's a lovely bird and it's a good it's a
good logo.

That you like the quarter pound with cheese or without cheese.
You gotta get the cheese on. What about the fries?
You get the fried? The fries are expensive.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
You know.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
McDonald's makes so much money from the fries. They will
not sell onion rings because it would cut into the
revenue they make. They would not make as much money
from onion rings as they do from fries. So that's
why they've never sold onion rings. I do too, but
they don't make as much money. The mark up you
know how cheap potatoes are compared to how much they
charge for for the fries.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
It's it's insane there, unbelievable. We man, when you.
Speaker 8 (25:12):

Speaker 6 (38:51):
He fired.
Speaker 1 (38:56):
It's grill Cooglok.
Speaker 8 (38:59):
The Bears have won games in a row, and yet
they still open as six and a half point underdogs
against the one to five Ravens in Week eight, Yeah
Ben in Chicago being disrespected by the odds makers.
Speaker 1 (39:09):
Well, no, they're not being disrespecting.
Speaker 2 (39:10):
We're just not guaranteed Lamar Jackson's going to play and
if he plays, like, how is he going to do?
Speaker 6 (39:16):
And all?
Speaker 2 (39:16):
I mean, they're really the gambling line is just based
on what public perception is. But yeah, if you look
at that, it does look like that is a gigantic
screw up by the odds makers, which tells you the
Ravens will likely win by two touchdowns.
Speaker 1 (39:28):
Next.
Speaker 8 (39:31):
There are a lot of bad teams in the NFL
this season, many of which we talked about during yesterday show.
Yeah Ben, which teams fan base should feel the most hopeless.
Speaker 1 (39:40):
I'm gonna go the Jets like the Browns.
Speaker 2 (39:43):
It's easy to say the Browns the Jets like because
the Browns fans kind of accepted they suck.
Speaker 1 (39:48):
Like the Jets fans every year think, oh, this.
Speaker 2 (39:50):
New coach is gonna be great, this quarterback like that's
just like a New Yorker thing. They just like every year,
the same crap. It's amazing. So I'm gonna go to
the Jets because they thought Glenn was a good coach.
They thought Justin Fields would figure things out. They both
suck next, so the Eagles got back into the win.
Call him on Sunday. Yeah, did it with an aerial attack?
Do you think Philly fans can breathe a sigh of relief?
Speaker 1 (40:11):
No?
Speaker 2 (40:11):
No, because it was That game was decided mostly because
of the incompetence of Carson Wentz. They the Vikings got
to the red zone six times and they screwed it
up a bunch of those times. So I'm not comfortable yet.
It was It was a needed win, but I'm not
quite there yet. For the Eagle, how did we do
you pass?
Speaker 1 (40:28):
That is a win? Put it on the ball game.
