Rob and Kelvin tell us why they were so offended by the Indianapolis Colts’ decision to bring Philip Rivers out of retirement to be their new quarterback, debate whether Kevin Stefanski deserves criticism for his handling of Shedeur Sanders, and argue whether AJ Brown or Jalen Hurts is more to blame for the Philadelphia Eagles current offensive funk.

Speaker 2 (00:19):
You're listening to the best of the Odd Couple.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
Big news in Indianapolis their quarterback Daniel Jones, Danny Dimes,
Danny Pennies if we want to call him out for
the season with the torn achilles, wishing him a speedy recovery.
But because the Indianapolis Colts are still in the thick
of the AFC playoff race, they need a new quarterback
and Rightley Lander's not the answer. Six round Rooie might
be heard this weekend. They don't like any other options.
(00:46):
Athleony Richardson, their former top five overall pick, still dealing
with the broken face after hit himself with an elastic
band on how that happened?
Speaker 4 (00:54):
So because of that.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
They're dipping into the Canton Hall of Fame category. Philip Rivers,
who is eligible to be inshrine in twenty twenty six,
has just been signed to their practice squad. He has
not played football in about five years. If he gets
signed to the active roster, not only will he be
the oldest quarterback in the NFL by far, he will
(01:18):
also have restarted his Hall of Fame case another five years.
So it's a double whammy for Philip Rivers.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
I'm disgusted. Can I tell you that? Why are you disgusted?
I'm absolutely disgusted? Today? Is this on? This on?
Speaker 5 (01:34):
Today is one of those days when I hate the
National Football League because you know why? It sounds like
an old Negro spiritual when I heard the news today.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Hold on, is this old man River? This is old
man River, Man River?
Speaker 5 (02:06):
This is when the NFL is banned? Why because they're bringing.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
Old Man River to quarterback? You mean to tell me this?
Speaker 5 (02:16):
Nobody else who could play football and quarterback the Colts.
This guy hasn't played in five years. He's forty four
years old. And you know what, this was the same
league that years ago, five years ago, told me that
Colin Kaepernick was too old and that Colin Kaepernick couldn't
(02:36):
play him he was too rusty, hadn't played na whaw,
this is the.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
League that we have.
Speaker 5 (02:43):
I would have had more respect for the Colts that
they said Colin Kaepernick put.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
On a helmet, get a uniform. Come on, man, we
claim it.
Speaker 5 (02:53):
I'm still mad at the NFL players who allowed the
owners to do what they did to Colin Kaepernick and
take away his career because he cared about people. It
makes me sick to think that Colin Kaepernick's career was
taken from him and NFL players, mostly black, a league
(03:14):
that's almost seventy percent black, turned the other way and
allowed that to happen. And you know what, this league
is famous for nepotism, buddyism, cronyism.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
And here's another example.
Speaker 5 (03:28):
Let's go get a guy because we feel comfortable with
him and we know he hadn't played in five years.
There's nobody else on the planet who can come and
quarterback to coach and win your two games or a
game and get you in the playoffs other than old
man Rivers.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
Disgusting.
Speaker 5 (03:46):
No way, if you have any decency, you gotta root
for the Coast to lose every single game. That's how
I feel.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
I want him to win enough game to keep the
Chiefs out of the playoffs and not lose.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
Wasn't that Man hold On. I it was the levels
to this madness. He was like, I met well hold On,
pumped the brakes, ABC.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Anybody but Chief Man Listen. I thought the river ran dry.
I didn't think it was anything left and that would
you call it? Simon, No, I'm saying five years. No,
all jokes aside. I remember when Michael Vick stopped playing
right he went to prison for two years, and they
were like, oh man, it's been two years, he's probably
lost it. He was like twenty nine or whatever. He
(04:29):
was thirty years old. And you mentioned Colin Kaepernick. I've
screened it to the heavens wasn't even on the show
with you.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
You've screened it.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
It made no sense for people to act like there
were sixty four other quarterbacks better than Colin Kaepernick, but
he couldn't play ry give you fine, maybe okay, he's
not a starter. You're telling him he's not a backup.
He's not good anymore, and then you start to run
down the Nathan Peterman's of the NFL who were in there,
like stop it.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
So I'm glad you brought that up.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
The idea that Colin Kaepernick's two years at the time
three years at the time away four years that he
couldn't play because Philip Rivers again has been gone for
five years. Now, let's get into this a little bit more.
This is also an in diving on the NFL quarterbacking.
You're telling me there's not somebody else around that they
can find, there's not a younger person around.
Speaker 4 (05:14):
They can make it your a. We'll give you a sixth.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Round pick, seven round pick for your backup player X.
I understand the familiarity. I understand that he's been with
the organization. He played well eleven to five back in
twenty twenty. What they win with else? Did he win something?
To listen, the world went through literal the world stopped
in twenty twenty. You know how much more we've been
through a crazy election cycles, summer of George Floyd, like
(05:38):
so much has happened in the five years. And he's
five years older. Rob, He's not as if he was
thirty now he's thirty five. He's forty four. We joke
about Aaron Rodgers being old at forty one.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
He's older than Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
We're asking Philip Rivers to come in and save the day,
to be better than what Tom Brady was at his age,
even at his peak, he was never bit better than
Tom Brady.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
You get what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
So hey, come back five years later, forty four and
comes steer this ship and mind you well, he's gotta,
you know, be good enough to win a good game
or two for them to get the postseas. What's the
postseason playing? Is a postseason playing? To continue with Philip Rivers.
So this is an indictment either on the NFL as
a whole, that they're not that many good quarterbacks laying around,
(06:23):
or that the Colts are just like, we don't care
about it, We only want to go get No.
Speaker 5 (06:27):
I told you about how bad the Colts are and
the cronyism. This is the same organization that hired Jeff Saturday.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
Who had no coaching experience. Okay, how many blunders gone wrong? Right?
How many blunders are you gonna do? For real?
Speaker 1 (06:42):
A forty four year old quarterback out of the league
for five years? That's the thing he's not. He hasn't
been a back back five years. You guys, go back
and read the stories about Colin kaepernickt now too long.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
He doesn't have it anymore anymore. He's too old.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
You know how old Colin kaepernickt now and he hasn't
played in five or six years. He's thirty eight. He's
thirty eight, six years younger. And they were saying this
when he was like thirty nine one, that he.
Speaker 5 (07:07):
Was done and he couldn't play anymore he was too
rusty and stad.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
This is where we are, old man, old.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Man Rivers is crazy, old man, he must know something.
He must know the office, the coats offense.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
Here we go. Hold on my head. Hold, I'm not
dealing with you.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
With you, Oh, I'm not dealing with you right now,
even though I'm literally dealing with you right now.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
That's where we are. What year is this?
Speaker 5 (07:50):
Are you serious that that Indianapolis Colts have just signed
old Man River? Yo, I'm in a bad plantation movie
that I'm watching the study of the NFL.
Speaker 4 (08:03):
What is this?
Speaker 1 (08:04):
They they, you know, always talk about the break in
case of emergency. You know the Steelers had that with
Russell Wilson or some other teams had, you know, a
really good back.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
You went back and.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
First of all, he has enough children. He could have
been a coach of his own football team, you know
what I mean? Like any idea that they win got
him like this is actually this is we live in LA.
He was a Charger who of course they finally went
from San Diego, LA. This sounds like an LA Charger
thing because this will actually be a movie something made
for Hollywood.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
Wasn't then it's quait in the movies. This necessary roughness.
I know what happened.
Speaker 5 (08:39):
Their general manager, Chris Ballor, was watching a rerun of
Going with the Win and figured out, like I could
get my quarterback from that. Let me go get old
Man River to quarterback me because I gave up too
much for a dB two first round picks and the
eggs in the basket, Like like, seriously, are you distraught?
Speaker 4 (09:01):
Like I am disgusted, Anthony. You gotta be so mad
right now.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
And the NFL this is what we have. That's the
first thing I thought about today.
Speaker 5 (09:10):
Old Man River is gonna be a starting quarterback in
the NFL.

Speaker 1 (09:59):
We didn't get a chance to talk about the Chador
in the Cleveland Browns. More importantly than anything, my confusion
and I want you to be help me out here,
UK because I I maybe I'm tripping. But if you
watch the game between Cam war Shador, obviously Cam number
(10:19):
one pick, but Shadur and him with the friends and
they had a relationship who's going to be the number
on quarterback?
Speaker 4 (10:22):
Who's better?
Speaker 1 (10:23):
They had a whole fun time to before the draft.
With that, we know how the draft worked out. Chador
played good three hundred something yards, four total touchdowns and
obviously the controversial couple of plays. And I really was
trying to make sense to this, like am I missing something?
And that Kevin Stefanski pulling him out a couple of times.
He did this the game prior as well, Rob where
(10:44):
it would be fourth down and he would pull him out.
They would go for a fourth in thiss and then
they would pull him out. They go there down fourteen,
they score a touchdown, they go for two, which fourteen.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
I'm fifteen, not sixteen.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
They go for two and put them in a position
later when he drives them all the way down to
get them within two to tie this game, they had
to go for the two because they went for it previously.
And he pulls them again, and he pulls them for
a running back. I genuinely didn't understand it. I was
telling Rob g if this were the Saints, how they
ran it would Taysom Hill and and he that's what
(11:19):
he did.
Speaker 4 (11:19):
He was always coming in.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
You knew he was gonna be and he could run it,
he could pass it that he was the gadget play guy.
Speaker 4 (11:24):
He was.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
This is what they've been doing for years. Okay, kind
of makes sense. I mean even Drew Breves can get
out for a minute. It makes sense. This is what
he does. So you don't understand what the two time
Coach of the Years absolutely not, because this is.
Speaker 5 (11:36):
Why people don't want a Shador Sanders on their team,
because it's always about Shador. Because if Shador ran to
play and it didn't work, then you would say, what.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
Are they doing that for?
Speaker 5 (11:48):
Or what did Judy do he dropped the ball or
it was a bad or some other play.
Speaker 4 (11:53):
It's always somehow was this not that? Robbin? This is
what I know.
Speaker 5 (11:57):
This is because this is the conversation you don't bring up.
Speaker 4 (12:01):
You didn't come in once and talk about your door.
Speaker 5 (12:04):
His completion is fifty two percent fifty two, which is
forty seventh, and you don't when it comes to Caleb.
You'll come on here and tell me about Caleb's completion percent.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
Tell me about your doors complete? Yeah, tell me why?
Speaker 1 (12:21):
An easy answer? Number one, Caleb has been the starter
for almost two years, four years. I don't have nothing
to do. That's God all set up here talking about
in a week your door just now getting starts in
the last three four weeks with the ones that ain't
got that's not even a completement.
Speaker 4 (12:38):
Completion, that's an easy answer.
Speaker 5 (12:41):
And then he played the Titans who were one and
eleven and they lost at home. He got two touchdowns
because they were down by two touchdowns and they played
prevent at the end of the game.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
But Rock like, dude, nobody else that Why are you
making it about your door I'm talking about That's what
I thought.
Speaker 4 (13:02):
I'm bringing up. Kevin Stevanski player with that every game, no.
Speaker 5 (13:08):
Matter what happens in total touchdown against who the Titans. Yes,
I'm just celebrating. He beat the Raiders and the Titans.
Let's have a parade. He didn't done anything.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Is playing who's in front of him, rob You do
this every week, but only beat who's in front of you.
Speaker 4 (13:24):
But he didn't beat them. He didn't advance the conversation.
But he did.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
He had a coach, no kicks, an extra points stop
and it kicks another one.
Speaker 4 (13:32):
It's a tight game.
Speaker 5 (13:33):
Then you go to overtime last night, but you're in
the same radio talking about the Lions and how you're
cool with Dan Gamble because Dan Gamble does that and
you're cool with.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
Not Actually, yes, you want you want? I said, I
know like that, Roger, only.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Because how they I've literally used to be on board
with that set here for weeks personally on and off
the air. I've told you, man, Dan, cause hes gonna
cost us a game. I've said it on the show
millions of times. I say it all the time. Situational
football is what I say about Dan Campbell gamble. Hello,
as you say, is this thing on? I say it
(14:08):
all the time. If you're going for two week three,
you're up ten? Okay, cool? You're going to play a
team right now, especially the lines a couple of weeks ago,
lost team. They can't get a two point conversion?
Speaker 4 (14:18):
Again, Why am I going for two to fourteen?
Speaker 1 (14:21):
It makes no sense against the worst team. That makes
no sense. It literally makes no sense. Trying to work
on play. You're not playing for plays with the quarterback
who's gonna be So they work on to play with
the quarterback who's gonna be the quarterback for the rest
of your season. That's what you say. He's a starter
for the rest of the season. Then let the man start.
He led you all the way back, got a chance
to tie the game. Why do you take him out?
He's been your best layer taking him out the ole time.
(14:43):
That wasn't new that you just said it another game
and it was terrible to get. We had the same
conversation previously. Why are they taking them out. So that's
what all I'm saying is Kevin Sefanski is doing some
odd things that make zero sense. Nobody saying Shador was
Joe Montana, Shadur play well, four total touchdowns, three hundred
and fifty plus yards. Uh yeah, that's playing well, and
(15:06):
you got a chance against the Titans. Nobody else put
up that many yards against the Titans.
Speaker 4 (15:10):
Yeah, because nobody else was behind by two touchdowns. Every
time somebody is behind by somebody, No.
Speaker 5 (15:15):
They weren't behind that Titans team, of course not. You
weren't behind two touchdowns where they played pre event at
the end of the game. Come on, man, stop making
stop making up the upstat what and making it too
good about your duor so K teams.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
Okay, let's go. I got we gotta understand.
Speaker 5 (15:37):
I don't want to talk about why is talking about
the man beating the one and eleven team? I mean
they lost to a one and eleven because we're talking
about eleven.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Sfanski, and you made it about your door. I'm saying,
what's going on with that coach has worked? That's what
I'm saying. Matter of fact, Steve, give me one second, Steve.
And another thing like I'm saying back to what I'm
saying Kevin Stefanski, it seems like he's obviously making decisions
to keep his job versus what's best for the team
in the organization and what's best for Shador because it
makes zero sense. The demand brings you all the way back.
(16:06):
You let the man have a chance to tie this
game and ultimately win the game. If you go to overtime,
makes zero sense. Everybody know that.

Speaker 4 (16:24):
Rob g We talked about the Monday night football game,
sloppy seven you no turnovers.
Speaker 5 (16:32):
Sarah Lee loved the game, but the rest of US
football fans we weren't feeling it.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
Yes, speaking of not going to the Hall of Fame,
this game tape is not going to the Hall of.
Speaker 5 (16:40):
Fame, No doubt. That's a nice set. I lie, Oh,
I'm gonna tell you. I'm gonna tell you I'm gonna
be wrong. Go ahead and say it.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
Jalen Hurts cleats my go into this game because he
became the first player in NFL history to commit two
turnovers on the same play.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
Not true, somebody did it in nineteen seventy eight.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
It's the first player since no, this says no, it's
the first Senys to play by play.
Speaker 4 (17:06):
That happened in seventy.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
Year, right, Since that's a far back, plas.
Speaker 4 (17:11):
That you think that is that never happened before. I'm
certain this is what I said the ID Sports.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
I'm just they're saying since they started tracking that nineteen
seventy eight, no one has done it.
Speaker 5 (17:25):
But I'm asking you you don't think that played. I'm
just say walking he knows that.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
I'm choosing to believe Elias Sports Bureau over the MLB broke.
Speaker 4 (17:34):
That's just me.
Speaker 5 (17:34):
But I'm saying, nineteen seventy eight, really they play since Okay,
since the play by play year. Okay, Well my point is, okay, Well,
my point is nineteen seventy eight ain't far enough back
for me to believe that he's the first player whoever
fumbled the ball that you know, had two turnovers. I
don't believe the same play. Yeah, that's tricky because you
(17:55):
just saw what happened.
Speaker 4 (17:56):
He did that.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
That's one he threw four interceptions. Had the lost football gain.
We mentioned that first player with zero touchdowns and five
turnovers in a game since Rob's favorite quarterback Justin Fields
in twenty twenty one, I should have finished the game
twenty one to forty two hundred and forty yards quarterback
rating of thirty one point two. It was all bad
for Jalen Hurts, all bad for the Eagles who still
(18:20):
can't get that offense out of the mud.
Speaker 5 (18:24):
Only one problem. Jalen Hurts didn't lose that football game.
It was a j Brown. How many plays did he
not make? You want to talk about leaving plays on
the field. There was a playdown field easily could have caught.
(18:44):
He even admitted it. Did you hear a sound after
the game? Did we have a Rob g He had
to acknowledge it. Yeah, yeah, that was Yeah, that was huge,
like like they they should have won that game. They
should have won that game. And you heard it even
he from brought it up.
Speaker 4 (19:05):
But here we go.
Speaker 5 (19:08):
He had three drops. One was a walking touchdown interception
off his drop which led to three points for the Chargers,
and a drop touchdown, So his drops alone were a
seventeen point swing.
Speaker 4 (19:26):
I'm not dude, Jayleen Hurst didn't play well either. I'm
not here to.
Speaker 5 (19:33):
Say he's totally exonerated, but you watched the game, you
saw the plays.
Speaker 4 (19:39):
Am I right?
Speaker 5 (19:40):
This is the guy who's belly aching all the time
about getting the ball when they were winning, Kelvin, he
wasn't happy because he wasn't getting the ball right they
were winning. Now they're looking at all, let's just throw
them the ball. We don't want to hear this guy cry.
The difference betwe between him and crying puppies is that
(20:03):
eventually the puppies will stop.
Speaker 4 (20:05):
I mean, that's the difference between a J. Brown and puppies.
Speaker 5 (20:09):
Seriously, I mean I watched the game like this guy's
a talented receiver.
Speaker 4 (20:16):
That was an awful game.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
Seventeen points swing in a game you lost by three
points in overtime.
Speaker 5 (20:24):
I'm sorry AJ Brown. He cost the Eagles a game
last night.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
Boy, you slick it in a used car salesman. With that,
you almost sold somebody. Man, if you don't get out
of here with that. AJ Brown had one hundred yards.
You're right that to back of the end zone would
have been a good catch. It was a tough catch,
and I did not like the interception. He dropped it
because he did the alligator arm I'm about to get hit.
That was more gregius. The touchdown would have been a
difficult catch. That had been more of a remarkable catch
(20:52):
to do. I give you that was bad. He short
armed it because he didn't want to get rocked. He
looked like, oh, I'm about to get hit. I don't
like that, because the greats take that. They make that
catch with their team, they take a hit, So I'm
with you on that. I'll call him out about that.
But Jalen Hurts hurt his team. The man had two
turnovers in three seconds. How you throw interception? Get the
(21:13):
ball that God gave you a chance back? Guys here
you go to fum fumble right in your lap and
then you fumble. And also more smoke dag near than Jalen.
You know who gets more smoked? Their offensive coordinator, Kevin
Patullo gets more smoked because.
Speaker 4 (21:30):
More than a J. Brown, more than Jalen Hurts.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
That team has too much talent Jalen Hurts, Davonte Smith,
a J.
Speaker 4 (21:36):
Brown great tight ends running back.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
There's no way they should be averaging fifteen point fives
over the last handful of games, and then they get
nineteen last night. That team has too much talent. You're
a raigning Super Bowl champion. This isn't like some a
wave of new guys. So he gets the smoke. Sirianni,
who then joined and got quote more involved in the
Eagles offense preparation, did he don't look like it?
Speaker 4 (22:03):
So I don't know what's going on.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
A J. Brown again did not help with that alligator.
I agree with you on that. Yeah, but he those
are plays the touchdowns too, those are plays he should make.
Speaker 4 (22:13):
He's a world class receiver. Don't let him off the hook.
Speaker 5 (22:16):
Though he had one hundred yards, nobody had big drops.
Though he had night drops that altered the game. Rob
Jalen Hurts had five turnovers.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
You know how many turnovers he had in the first
eleven games, three total.
Speaker 4 (22:31):
He's at seven in the last two games.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
That still doesn't mean that if AJ Brown makes one
of those plays, they win that game. One of those
plays we want to catch the catch with the wait
and see what the back of the anzoa. But the
one of that's the egregious one, because I need you
to catch that. You not wanting to get hit cause
(22:54):
an interception but again, so I'll even not put that
one on Jalen because aj should have caught it. He
didn't want to get hit. But Jalen hurts again. And
this is this is a real question to the both
of you, you robs, Why won't Jalen Hurts run anymore?
Like I'm really asking you, guys, that's what made him dynamic?
Dynamic the year he was an MVP candidate, the year
(23:15):
that went to the Super Bowl they lost to the Chiefs.
With those first two three years, is it pride like
I'm a I am a quarterback. This is how I
want to do it. I don't have to run. I'm
genuinely asky, like, what is that? Well, do you think
it's him? I mean, there's a scheme that goes on
and that's why Kenvin Patullo is getting some of this smoke,
and that's why Sirianni's getting some of the smoke.
Speaker 4 (23:36):
What what made him done? That's it?
Speaker 5 (23:37):
But that's a game plan, right, I mean, I don't
think that this it's it's because they also added sa
Kwan Barkley, right, No, but I'm just saying that Kawan look.
Speaker 4 (23:47):
More like Charles Barkley right now. The man, the man.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
They might not even get a thousand yards in seventeen games.
How you go from two thousand tim you might not
even get half of that.
Speaker 4 (23:58):
That's crazy.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
And it's not like he's not getting half of that
because they're airing it out for two hundred and eighty
five three hundred and forty yards a game. They're not
doing either. Thank God for their defense that kept them
in it. They had justin Herbert looking like Carl Lewis
are there running for his life. So AJ Brown had
a couple won the major drop for sure, Davonte Smith
dropped a couple some I don't know what's going on.
Speaker 4 (24:21):
They need to.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
Say, I'm glad you're at least acknowledging that you know
while you can look at it, and they all go.
Speaker 5 (24:29):
On the on the on the books for some of
the merge. Yes, I'm not. And I didn't exonerate him.
I never said that. Okay, he didn't play well, but
you sometimes have to look a little bit deeper. It's
just like we brought up with U.
Speaker 4 (24:44):
TJ. Houschman Zada the other day.
Speaker 5 (24:46):
For everyone, where you talk about a drop, there's a
receiver saving the quarterbacks. But am I right, and there
needs to be a stat or something where you go
like a saved potential interception or something. You know, I
don't know what you can, but if you want to
do drops all the time, it just doesn't make sense to.
Speaker 4 (25:03):
Me that one. Again.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
That's why that that one was bad on him because
it ended up being an interception that will fall on Jalen,
but that was him.
Speaker 4 (25:09):
He should have caught that.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
But the thing what makes this team weird, and it
makes the AJ Brown situation weird because it becomes are
they forcing it to him or not? The last three
games for AJ Brown eight receptions, one hundred and ten
yards and a touchdown. The next game versus Bears ten
receptions one hundred and thirty two yards, two touchdowns. Last
night another on hundred yards, so he's had three hundred
(25:31):
yard reception games.
Speaker 4 (25:33):
They've lost all three.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
So this is I don't understand this team, is that
we're trying to force it. Oh, no, we're gonna run it.
They can't run it if they don't do the little
fake cute touch, push fake into Saycon Barkley and he
breaks it for you know, forty fifty yarder. They don't
score a touchdown that whole game. They eagle should not
be going a whole game barely scoring a touchdown on
a trick play. So I don't know what's going on
(25:56):
with them, and everybody gets to smoke. But Jalen Hurts
has to be better because the ball's in his hands.
You can't have two turnovers on the same play.
Speaker 4 (26:05):
It's crazy.
Speaker 5 (26:06):
AJ Brown has to be better, especially when you're the
one belly yaking about how much you want the football.
And he wasn't happy when they were winning and they
weren't throwing the ball all over the yard, and now
they're throwing it all over the yard right to try
to get him the ball. And now he's not playing well,
he's not performing. And you said the one hundred yards
you bought to have had two hundred yards if you
(26:27):
can hold on to a ball.
Speaker 4 (26:28):
He has three games in a row of a one
hundred yards.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
He has three touchdowns and three games and that's why
it gets confusing. So I don't know this. I'm disobdamed
must be happy. He's happy with the game plan now,
Devonte Smith, AJ Brown, Saquon Jalen Hurts tight ends.
Speaker 4 (26:45):
There's no way this see should be obviously fifteen guys.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
Fifteen days ago, the Eagles were up twenty one. Nothing
on Dallas ever since then, and since then they have
lost three straight

Speaker 3 (00:25):
Big news in Indianapolis their quarterback Daniel Jones, Danny Dimes,
Danny Pennies if we want to call him out for
the season with the torn achilles, wishing him a speedy recovery.
But because the Indianapolis Colts are still in the thick
of the AFC playoff race, they need a new quarterback
and Rightley Lander's not the answer. Six round Rooie might
be heard this weekend. They don't like any other options.
(00:46):
Athleony Richardson, their former top five overall pick, still dealing
with the broken face after hit himself with an elastic
band on how that happened?
Speaker 4 (00:54):
So because of that.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
They're dipping into the Canton Hall of Fame category. Philip Rivers,
who is eligible to be inshrine in twenty twenty six,
has just been signed to their practice squad. He has
not played football in about five years. If he gets
signed to the active roster, not only will he be
the oldest quarterback in the NFL by far, he will
(01:18):
also have restarted his Hall of Fame case another five years.
So it's a double whammy for Philip Rivers.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
I'm disgusted. Can I tell you that? Why are you disgusted?
I'm absolutely disgusted? Today? Is this on? This on?
Speaker 5 (01:34):
Today is one of those days when I hate the
National Football League because you know why? It sounds like
an old Negro spiritual when I heard the news today.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Hold on, is this old man River? This is old
man River, Man River?
Speaker 5 (02:06):
This is when the NFL is banned? Why because they're bringing.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
Old Man River to quarterback? You mean to tell me this?
Speaker 5 (02:16):
Nobody else who could play football and quarterback the Colts.
This guy hasn't played in five years. He's forty four
years old. And you know what, this was the same
league that years ago, five years ago, told me that
Colin Kaepernick was too old and that Colin Kaepernick couldn't
(02:36):
play him he was too rusty, hadn't played na whaw,
this is the.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
League that we have.
Speaker 5 (02:43):
I would have had more respect for the Colts that
they said Colin Kaepernick put.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
On a helmet, get a uniform. Come on, man, we
claim it.
Speaker 5 (02:53):
I'm still mad at the NFL players who allowed the
owners to do what they did to Colin Kaepernick and
take away his career because he cared about people. It
makes me sick to think that Colin Kaepernick's career was
taken from him and NFL players, mostly black, a league
(03:14):
that's almost seventy percent black, turned the other way and
allowed that to happen. And you know what, this league
is famous for nepotism, buddyism, cronyism.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
And here's another example.
Speaker 5 (03:28):
Let's go get a guy because we feel comfortable with
him and we know he hadn't played in five years.
There's nobody else on the planet who can come and
quarterback to coach and win your two games or a
game and get you in the playoffs other than old
man Rivers.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
Disgusting.
Speaker 5 (03:46):
No way, if you have any decency, you gotta root
for the Coast to lose every single game. That's how
I feel.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
I want him to win enough game to keep the
Chiefs out of the playoffs and not lose.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
Wasn't that Man hold On. I it was the levels
to this madness. He was like, I met well hold On,
pumped the brakes, ABC.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Anybody but Chief Man Listen. I thought the river ran dry.
I didn't think it was anything left and that would
you call it? Simon, No, I'm saying five years. No,
all jokes aside. I remember when Michael Vick stopped playing
right he went to prison for two years, and they
were like, oh man, it's been two years, he's probably
lost it. He was like twenty nine or whatever. He
(04:29):
was thirty years old. And you mentioned Colin Kaepernick. I've
screened it to the heavens wasn't even on the show
with you.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
You've screened it.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
It made no sense for people to act like there
were sixty four other quarterbacks better than Colin Kaepernick, but
he couldn't play ry give you fine, maybe okay, he's
not a starter. You're telling him he's not a backup.
He's not good anymore, and then you start to run
down the Nathan Peterman's of the NFL who were in there,
like stop it.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
So I'm glad you brought that up.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
The idea that Colin Kaepernick's two years at the time
three years at the time away four years that he
couldn't play because Philip Rivers again has been gone for
five years. Now, let's get into this a little bit more.
This is also an in diving on the NFL quarterbacking.
You're telling me there's not somebody else around that they
can find, there's not a younger person around.
Speaker 4 (05:14):
They can make it your a. We'll give you a sixth.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Round pick, seven round pick for your backup player X.
I understand the familiarity. I understand that he's been with
the organization. He played well eleven to five back in
twenty twenty. What they win with else? Did he win something?
To listen, the world went through literal the world stopped
in twenty twenty. You know how much more we've been
through a crazy election cycles, summer of George Floyd, like
(05:38):
so much has happened in the five years. And he's
five years older. Rob, He's not as if he was
thirty now he's thirty five. He's forty four. We joke
about Aaron Rodgers being old at forty one.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
He's older than Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
We're asking Philip Rivers to come in and save the day,
to be better than what Tom Brady was at his age,
even at his peak, he was never bit better than
Tom Brady.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
You get what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
So hey, come back five years later, forty four and
comes steer this ship and mind you well, he's gotta,
you know, be good enough to win a good game
or two for them to get the postseas. What's the
postseason playing? Is a postseason playing? To continue with Philip Rivers.
So this is an indictment either on the NFL as
a whole, that they're not that many good quarterbacks laying around,
(06:23):
or that the Colts are just like, we don't care
about it, We only want to go get No.
Speaker 5 (06:27):
I told you about how bad the Colts are and
the cronyism. This is the same organization that hired Jeff Saturday.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
Who had no coaching experience. Okay, how many blunders gone wrong? Right?
How many blunders are you gonna do? For real?
Speaker 1 (06:42):
A forty four year old quarterback out of the league
for five years? That's the thing he's not. He hasn't
been a back back five years. You guys, go back
and read the stories about Colin kaepernickt now too long.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
He doesn't have it anymore anymore. He's too old.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
You know how old Colin kaepernickt now and he hasn't
played in five or six years. He's thirty eight. He's
thirty eight, six years younger. And they were saying this
when he was like thirty nine one, that he.
Speaker 5 (07:07):
Was done and he couldn't play anymore he was too
rusty and stad.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
This is where we are, old man, old.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Man Rivers is crazy, old man, he must know something.
He must know the office, the coats offense.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
Here we go. Hold on my head. Hold, I'm not
dealing with you.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
With you, Oh, I'm not dealing with you right now,
even though I'm literally dealing with you right now.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
That's where we are. What year is this?
Speaker 5 (07:50):
Are you serious that that Indianapolis Colts have just signed
old Man River? Yo, I'm in a bad plantation movie
that I'm watching the study of the NFL.
Speaker 4 (08:03):
What is this?
Speaker 1 (08:04):
They they, you know, always talk about the break in
case of emergency. You know the Steelers had that with
Russell Wilson or some other teams had, you know, a
really good back.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
You went back and.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
First of all, he has enough children. He could have
been a coach of his own football team, you know
what I mean? Like any idea that they win got
him like this is actually this is we live in LA.
He was a Charger who of course they finally went
from San Diego, LA. This sounds like an LA Charger
thing because this will actually be a movie something made
for Hollywood.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
Wasn't then it's quait in the movies. This necessary roughness.
I know what happened.
Speaker 5 (08:39):
Their general manager, Chris Ballor, was watching a rerun of
Going with the Win and figured out, like I could
get my quarterback from that. Let me go get old
Man River to quarterback me because I gave up too
much for a dB two first round picks and the
eggs in the basket, Like like, seriously, are you distraught?
Speaker 4 (09:01):
Like I am disgusted, Anthony. You gotta be so mad
right now.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
And the NFL this is what we have. That's the
first thing I thought about today.
Speaker 5 (09:10):
Old Man River is gonna be a starting quarterback in
the NFL.

We didn't get a chance to talk about the Chador
in the Cleveland Browns. More importantly than anything, my confusion
and I want you to be help me out here,
UK because I I maybe I'm tripping. But if you
watch the game between Cam war Shador, obviously Cam number
(10:19):
one pick, but Shadur and him with the friends and
they had a relationship who's going to be the number
on quarterback?
Speaker 4 (10:22):
Who's better?
Speaker 1 (10:23):
They had a whole fun time to before the draft.
With that, we know how the draft worked out. Chador
played good three hundred something yards, four total touchdowns and
obviously the controversial couple of plays. And I really was
trying to make sense to this, like am I missing something?
And that Kevin Stefanski pulling him out a couple of times.
He did this the game prior as well, Rob where
(10:44):
it would be fourth down and he would pull him out.
They would go for a fourth in thiss and then
they would pull him out. They go there down fourteen,
they score a touchdown, they go for two, which fourteen.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
I'm fifteen, not sixteen.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
They go for two and put them in a position
later when he drives them all the way down to
get them within two to tie this game, they had
to go for the two because they went for it previously.
And he pulls them again, and he pulls them for
a running back. I genuinely didn't understand it. I was
telling Rob g if this were the Saints, how they
ran it would Taysom Hill and and he that's what
(11:19):
he did.
Speaker 4 (11:19):
He was always coming in.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
You knew he was gonna be and he could run it,
he could pass it that he was the gadget play guy.
Speaker 4 (11:24):
He was.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
This is what they've been doing for years. Okay, kind
of makes sense. I mean even Drew Breves can get
out for a minute. It makes sense. This is what
he does. So you don't understand what the two time
Coach of the Years absolutely not, because this is.
Speaker 5 (11:36):
Why people don't want a Shador Sanders on their team,
because it's always about Shador. Because if Shador ran to
play and it didn't work, then you would say, what.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
Are they doing that for?
Speaker 5 (11:48):
Or what did Judy do he dropped the ball or
it was a bad or some other play.
Speaker 4 (11:53):
It's always somehow was this not that? Robbin? This is
what I know.
Speaker 5 (11:57):
This is because this is the conversation you don't bring up.
Speaker 4 (12:01):
You didn't come in once and talk about your door.
Speaker 5 (12:04):
His completion is fifty two percent fifty two, which is
forty seventh, and you don't when it comes to Caleb.
You'll come on here and tell me about Caleb's completion percent.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
Tell me about your doors complete? Yeah, tell me why?
Speaker 1 (12:21):
An easy answer? Number one, Caleb has been the starter
for almost two years, four years. I don't have nothing
to do. That's God all set up here talking about
in a week your door just now getting starts in
the last three four weeks with the ones that ain't
got that's not even a completement.
Speaker 4 (12:38):
Completion, that's an easy answer.
Speaker 5 (12:41):
And then he played the Titans who were one and
eleven and they lost at home. He got two touchdowns
because they were down by two touchdowns and they played
prevent at the end of the game.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
But Rock like, dude, nobody else that Why are you
making it about your door I'm talking about That's what
I thought.
Speaker 4 (13:02):
I'm bringing up. Kevin Stevanski player with that every game, no.
Speaker 5 (13:08):
Matter what happens in total touchdown against who the Titans. Yes,
I'm just celebrating. He beat the Raiders and the Titans.
Let's have a parade. He didn't done anything.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Is playing who's in front of him, rob You do
this every week, but only beat who's in front of you.
Speaker 4 (13:24):
But he didn't beat them. He didn't advance the conversation.
But he did.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
He had a coach, no kicks, an extra points stop
and it kicks another one.
Speaker 4 (13:32):
It's a tight game.
Speaker 5 (13:33):
Then you go to overtime last night, but you're in
the same radio talking about the Lions and how you're
cool with Dan Gamble because Dan Gamble does that and
you're cool with.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
Not Actually, yes, you want you want? I said, I
know like that, Roger, only.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Because how they I've literally used to be on board
with that set here for weeks personally on and off
the air. I've told you, man, Dan, cause hes gonna
cost us a game. I've said it on the show
millions of times. I say it all the time. Situational
football is what I say about Dan Campbell gamble. Hello,
as you say, is this thing on? I say it
(14:08):
all the time. If you're going for two week three,
you're up ten? Okay, cool? You're going to play a
team right now, especially the lines a couple of weeks ago,
lost team. They can't get a two point conversion?
Speaker 4 (14:18):
Again, Why am I going for two to fourteen?
Speaker 1 (14:21):
It makes no sense against the worst team. That makes
no sense. It literally makes no sense. Trying to work
on play. You're not playing for plays with the quarterback
who's gonna be So they work on to play with
the quarterback who's gonna be the quarterback for the rest
of your season. That's what you say. He's a starter
for the rest of the season. Then let the man start.
He led you all the way back, got a chance
to tie the game. Why do you take him out?
He's been your best layer taking him out the ole time.
(14:43):
That wasn't new that you just said it another game
and it was terrible to get. We had the same
conversation previously. Why are they taking them out. So that's
what all I'm saying is Kevin Sefanski is doing some
odd things that make zero sense. Nobody saying Shador was
Joe Montana, Shadur play well, four total touchdowns, three hundred
and fifty plus yards. Uh yeah, that's playing well, and
(15:06):
you got a chance against the Titans. Nobody else put
up that many yards against the Titans.
Speaker 4 (15:10):
Yeah, because nobody else was behind by two touchdowns. Every
time somebody is behind by somebody, No.
Speaker 5 (15:15):
They weren't behind that Titans team, of course not. You
weren't behind two touchdowns where they played pre event at
the end of the game. Come on, man, stop making
stop making up the upstat what and making it too
good about your duor so K teams.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
Okay, let's go. I got we gotta understand.
Speaker 5 (15:37):
I don't want to talk about why is talking about
the man beating the one and eleven team? I mean
they lost to a one and eleven because we're talking
about eleven.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Sfanski, and you made it about your door. I'm saying,
what's going on with that coach has worked? That's what
I'm saying. Matter of fact, Steve, give me one second, Steve.
And another thing like I'm saying back to what I'm
saying Kevin Stefanski, it seems like he's obviously making decisions
to keep his job versus what's best for the team
in the organization and what's best for Shador because it
makes zero sense. The demand brings you all the way back.
(16:06):
You let the man have a chance to tie this
game and ultimately win the game. If you go to overtime,
makes zero sense. Everybody know that.

Speaker 4 (16:24):
Rob g We talked about the Monday night football game,
sloppy seven you no turnovers.
Speaker 5 (16:32):
Sarah Lee loved the game, but the rest of US
football fans we weren't feeling it.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
Yes, speaking of not going to the Hall of Fame,
this game tape is not going to the Hall of.
Speaker 5 (16:40):
Fame, No doubt. That's a nice set. I lie, Oh,
I'm gonna tell you. I'm gonna tell you I'm gonna
be wrong. Go ahead and say it.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
Jalen Hurts cleats my go into this game because he
became the first player in NFL history to commit two
turnovers on the same play.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
Not true, somebody did it in nineteen seventy eight.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
It's the first player since no, this says no, it's
the first Senys to play by play.
Speaker 4 (17:06):
That happened in seventy.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
Year, right, Since that's a far back, plas.
Speaker 4 (17:11):
That you think that is that never happened before. I'm
certain this is what I said the ID Sports.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
I'm just they're saying since they started tracking that nineteen
seventy eight, no one has done it.
Speaker 5 (17:25):
But I'm asking you you don't think that played. I'm
just say walking he knows that.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
I'm choosing to believe Elias Sports Bureau over the MLB broke.
Speaker 4 (17:34):
That's just me.
Speaker 5 (17:34):
But I'm saying, nineteen seventy eight, really they play since Okay,
since the play by play year. Okay, Well my point is, okay, Well,
my point is nineteen seventy eight ain't far enough back
for me to believe that he's the first player whoever
fumbled the ball that you know, had two turnovers. I
don't believe the same play. Yeah, that's tricky because you
(17:55):
just saw what happened.
Speaker 4 (17:56):
He did that.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
That's one he threw four interceptions. Had the lost football gain.
We mentioned that first player with zero touchdowns and five
turnovers in a game since Rob's favorite quarterback Justin Fields
in twenty twenty one, I should have finished the game
twenty one to forty two hundred and forty yards quarterback
rating of thirty one point two. It was all bad
for Jalen Hurts, all bad for the Eagles who still
(18:20):
can't get that offense out of the mud.
Speaker 5 (18:24):
Only one problem. Jalen Hurts didn't lose that football game.
It was a j Brown. How many plays did he
not make? You want to talk about leaving plays on
the field. There was a playdown field easily could have caught.
(18:44):
He even admitted it. Did you hear a sound after
the game? Did we have a Rob g He had
to acknowledge it. Yeah, yeah, that was Yeah, that was huge,
like like they they should have won that game. They
should have won that game. And you heard it even
he from brought it up.
Speaker 4 (19:05):
But here we go.
Speaker 5 (19:08):
He had three drops. One was a walking touchdown interception
off his drop which led to three points for the Chargers,
and a drop touchdown, So his drops alone were a
seventeen point swing.
Speaker 4 (19:26):
I'm not dude, Jayleen Hurst didn't play well either. I'm
not here to.
Speaker 5 (19:33):
Say he's totally exonerated, but you watched the game, you
saw the plays.
Speaker 4 (19:39):
Am I right?
Speaker 5 (19:40):
This is the guy who's belly aching all the time
about getting the ball when they were winning, Kelvin, he
wasn't happy because he wasn't getting the ball right they
were winning. Now they're looking at all, let's just throw
them the ball. We don't want to hear this guy cry.
The difference betwe between him and crying puppies is that
(20:03):
eventually the puppies will stop.
Speaker 4 (20:05):
I mean, that's the difference between a J. Brown and puppies.
Speaker 5 (20:09):
Seriously, I mean I watched the game like this guy's
a talented receiver.
Speaker 4 (20:16):
That was an awful game.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
Seventeen points swing in a game you lost by three
points in overtime.
Speaker 5 (20:24):
I'm sorry AJ Brown. He cost the Eagles a game
last night.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
Boy, you slick it in a used car salesman. With that,
you almost sold somebody. Man, if you don't get out
of here with that. AJ Brown had one hundred yards.
You're right that to back of the end zone would
have been a good catch. It was a tough catch,
and I did not like the interception. He dropped it
because he did the alligator arm I'm about to get hit.
That was more gregius. The touchdown would have been a
difficult catch. That had been more of a remarkable catch
(20:52):
to do. I give you that was bad. He short
armed it because he didn't want to get rocked. He
looked like, oh, I'm about to get hit. I don't
like that, because the greats take that. They make that
catch with their team, they take a hit, So I'm
with you on that. I'll call him out about that.
But Jalen Hurts hurt his team. The man had two
turnovers in three seconds. How you throw interception? Get the
(21:13):
ball that God gave you a chance back? Guys here
you go to fum fumble right in your lap and
then you fumble. And also more smoke dag near than Jalen.
You know who gets more smoked? Their offensive coordinator, Kevin
Patullo gets more smoked because.
Speaker 4 (21:30):
More than a J. Brown, more than Jalen Hurts.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
That team has too much talent Jalen Hurts, Davonte Smith,
a J.
Speaker 4 (21:36):
Brown great tight ends running back.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
There's no way they should be averaging fifteen point fives
over the last handful of games, and then they get
nineteen last night. That team has too much talent. You're
a raigning Super Bowl champion. This isn't like some a
wave of new guys. So he gets the smoke. Sirianni,
who then joined and got quote more involved in the
Eagles offense preparation, did he don't look like it?
Speaker 4 (22:03):
So I don't know what's going on.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
A J. Brown again did not help with that alligator.
I agree with you on that. Yeah, but he those
are plays the touchdowns too, those are plays he should make.
Speaker 4 (22:13):
He's a world class receiver. Don't let him off the hook.
Speaker 5 (22:16):
Though he had one hundred yards, nobody had big drops.
Though he had night drops that altered the game. Rob
Jalen Hurts had five turnovers.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
You know how many turnovers he had in the first
eleven games, three total.
Speaker 4 (22:31):
He's at seven in the last two games.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
That still doesn't mean that if AJ Brown makes one
of those plays, they win that game. One of those
plays we want to catch the catch with the wait
and see what the back of the anzoa. But the
one of that's the egregious one, because I need you
to catch that. You not wanting to get hit cause
(22:54):
an interception but again, so I'll even not put that
one on Jalen because aj should have caught it. He
didn't want to get hit. But Jalen hurts again. And
this is this is a real question to the both
of you, you robs, Why won't Jalen Hurts run anymore?
Like I'm really asking you, guys, that's what made him dynamic?
Dynamic the year he was an MVP candidate, the year
(23:15):
that went to the Super Bowl they lost to the Chiefs.
With those first two three years, is it pride like
I'm a I am a quarterback. This is how I
want to do it. I don't have to run. I'm
genuinely asky, like, what is that? Well, do you think
it's him? I mean, there's a scheme that goes on
and that's why Kenvin Patullo is getting some of this smoke,
and that's why Sirianni's getting some of the smoke.
Speaker 4 (23:36):
What what made him done? That's it?
Speaker 5 (23:37):
But that's a game plan, right, I mean, I don't
think that this it's it's because they also added sa
Kwan Barkley, right, No, but I'm just saying that Kawan look.
Speaker 4 (23:47):
More like Charles Barkley right now. The man, the man.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
They might not even get a thousand yards in seventeen games.
How you go from two thousand tim you might not
even get half of that.
Speaker 4 (23:58):
That's crazy.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
And it's not like he's not getting half of that
because they're airing it out for two hundred and eighty
five three hundred and forty yards a game. They're not
doing either. Thank God for their defense that kept them
in it. They had justin Herbert looking like Carl Lewis
are there running for his life. So AJ Brown had
a couple won the major drop for sure, Davonte Smith
dropped a couple some I don't know what's going on.
Speaker 4 (24:21):
They need to.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
Say, I'm glad you're at least acknowledging that you know
while you can look at it, and they all go.
Speaker 5 (24:29):
On the on the on the books for some of
the merge. Yes, I'm not. And I didn't exonerate him.
I never said that. Okay, he didn't play well, but
you sometimes have to look a little bit deeper. It's
just like we brought up with U.
Speaker 4 (24:44):
TJ. Houschman Zada the other day.
Speaker 5 (24:46):
For everyone, where you talk about a drop, there's a
receiver saving the quarterbacks. But am I right, and there
needs to be a stat or something where you go
like a saved potential interception or something. You know, I
don't know what you can, but if you want to
do drops all the time, it just doesn't make sense to.
Speaker 4 (25:03):
Me that one. Again.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
That's why that that one was bad on him because
it ended up being an interception that will fall on Jalen,
but that was him.
Speaker 4 (25:09):
He should have caught that.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
But the thing what makes this team weird, and it
makes the AJ Brown situation weird because it becomes are
they forcing it to him or not? The last three
games for AJ Brown eight receptions, one hundred and ten
yards and a touchdown. The next game versus Bears ten
receptions one hundred and thirty two yards, two touchdowns. Last
night another on hundred yards, so he's had three hundred
(25:31):
yard reception games.
Speaker 4 (25:33):
They've lost all three.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
So this is I don't understand this team, is that
we're trying to force it. Oh, no, we're gonna run it.
They can't run it if they don't do the little
fake cute touch, push fake into Saycon Barkley and he
breaks it for you know, forty fifty yarder. They don't
score a touchdown that whole game. They eagle should not
be going a whole game barely scoring a touchdown on
a trick play. So I don't know what's going on
(25:56):
with them, and everybody gets to smoke. But Jalen Hurts
has to be better because the ball's in his hands.
You can't have two turnovers on the same play.
Speaker 4 (26:05):
It's crazy.
Speaker 5 (26:06):
AJ Brown has to be better, especially when you're the
one belly yaking about how much you want the football.
And he wasn't happy when they were winning and they
weren't throwing the ball all over the yard, and now
they're throwing it all over the yard right to try
to get him the ball. And now he's not playing well,
he's not performing. And you said the one hundred yards
you bought to have had two hundred yards if you
(26:27):
can hold on to a ball.
Speaker 4 (26:28):
He has three games in a row of a one
hundred yards.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
He has three touchdowns and three games and that's why
it gets confusing. So I don't know this. I'm disobdamed
must be happy. He's happy with the game plan now,
Devonte Smith, AJ Brown, Saquon Jalen Hurts tight ends.
Speaker 4 (26:45):
There's no way this see should be obviously fifteen guys.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
Fifteen days ago, the Eagles were up twenty one. Nothing
on Dallas ever since then, and since then they have
lost three straight
