Speaker 1 (00:00):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
Week seven, What a week. And since we're in studio,
we might as well talk about what's going on around
the league in week seven. We are still on our
regular scheduled episodes dropping every Thursday as usual three pm
Eastern Titan on YouTube and three oh one three oh
one that is on all the audio platforms.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
Should we jump in, Robbie, let's show up into it.
Jules a right Week seven reaction. Let's start off with
let's start off with the Patriots.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Yeah, the Patriots are looking great. They're in the right direction.
Vrabel is the coach you know, for this job. There
is no doubt about that. You gotta go back. You
got to give credit to mister Craft. He always wants
the Patriots to be on the right track, you know,
leading in the right direction, trending towards a championship, trending
towards getting better on a weekly basis and a yearly basis.
Speaker 4 (00:50):
And he did that last year obviously.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
You know, he thought he had the right hire last year,
and he correctly made that change when he knew he didn't,
and he brought an Vrabel, So you got to give
him credit to take some balls, and it takes some balls.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Take some balls to fire someone after one year exactly.
Speaker 4 (01:07):
It sure does.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
But like mister Kraft says, and he always says it
to the public eye when he's doing media, I'm gonna
do what's best for this organization to put a winning
product out on the field, because these fans deserve it
in New England. So you gotta give mister Ball's craft,
mister Ball.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
That he did what he did and now they're on
the right track.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
I mean, I'm sure RKK is loving it right now.
Patriot fans are loving it as well. Let's talk about
the game Jewels. How do they look for his Tennessee
where Rabel got fired, which was a huge mistake by
the way by the Tennessee Titans to do what two
years ago, huge mistake, stupid.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
I think they've won five games since he's left, and
I think four or they won four. Patriots have won
five games this year. My initial reaction, I want to
play for coach frames like he seems like such.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
A great dude to play for.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Now we know him as a friend when we go
to the derby, and he's always still had like that
leadership role and you always saw that leadership role when
he was giving me picks to win a lot of
money on betting on horses. But like in the grand
scheme of things, he's like a player coach, but he's
also you can tell he keeps jokers accountable and you
(02:23):
could tell guys know that there's a direction there that
they're going. It feels kind of belichick ish, yes, but
with a player type coach, yes, so kind of Balichack.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
And who who would you combine vrabel as as a
coach Ballichick for sure, McVay at mcveigh's.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
That's a good a lot of EQ just because the
only reason we say Belichick because he came from that
organ He came from that foundation. He learned a lot
of football through through coach Belichick. Like that's what coach does.
He teaches football, and a lot you could see a
lot of his fundamental team building and how he wants
his team was the same as our teams because that
(03:02):
was his team.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
But also like he's a defensive coach. He's played an
offense though in special teams, but he has the EQ
of like Sean McVay. You could tell that guys like
playing for him. Guys are all engage. You see Drake
May gave him the game ball after because they got
to win in Tennessee. Like those those moments are fun
and then they seem genuine and they seem authentic, and
(03:26):
it just like I'm excited for them. And you also
got to tip your cap Josh McDaniels with what he's
done with Drake May. Drake May's playing freaking phenomenal, right, Yeah,
he is playing phenomenal.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
He's made a huge jump.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
He had a great rookie season with all with the
short amount of games that he played.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
But to see a guy, yeah, great moment. He had
great moment from.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
Year one to year two and have a jump like this.
It's obviously the work ethic that Drake May is putting in,
but also you got to be coached greatly as well,
just as much, just as much as you are putting
in the work. And Josh McDaniels, I was talking about
it on air, you know with Fox last year that
Josh McDaniels needs to be the guy that is hired
as the offensive corner.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
We played for him.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
We know how great of a coach he is, We
know how he how he can relate to a player
and be able to transfer that information from a coaching
staff to a player's meeting, so everyone's all on the
same page on the offensive side of the ball. And
also he's the quarterback coach for May He developed, he helped,
I'm gonna say he developed Tom Brady. He helped develop
(04:26):
the whole time, damn near the whole time. I think
Charlie Weiss.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Was Charlie was there, but he was like a little
like an offensive a controllery guy.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
All right, So he was there the whole time, helped
develop Tom Brady. He understands what it takes, you know,
at that quarterback position to get it done. And what's
most importantly though, is Josh McDaniels helps, you know, a
quarterback to have the ability to read a defense.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
And protect himself.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Yes, and you can have all the skills in the
world at the quarterback position, but if you can't read
a defense, well, guess what, you're gonna be one of
the worst quarterbacks in the NFL. You're you're going to
be no good, You're worthless. So Josh McDaniels comes into
play hugely there.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
I mean, he's playing efficient, he's not making the same
mistake twice. He's making mistakes here and there he hasn't
in the last three weeks. But he's correcting him. He's
taking care of the football. I mean, he beats Tom's
freaking franchise record of eighty eight point five percent completion,
but he beats that record with ninety one point three
twenty one for twenty three two hundred and twenty two
(05:25):
yards and two touchdowns. You have to have at least
two hundred yards for that to be in the book.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
Hold on for a second, Jewels, this ninety one point
three completion percentage rate is kind of I would say
it's kind of miscalculated. I would say's getting over hyped
a little bit because there's so much more that goes into,
you know, a completion percentage for a quarterback. I mean, hey,
are the wide receivers catching the ball or are they
dropping the ball?
Speaker 4 (05:51):
Hey? Did you throw the team stat? That's the team top.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Yes, Rob is saying that it's the team sets more of.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
A team stat. Yes, yeah, it's a quarterback leading the way,
but it's a quarterback slash offense line. Yes, Hey are
you taking sacks? Hey are you rolling out of the pocket?
Because you got pressure and then everyone's covered. So the
best situation is to throw the ball away, you know,
so then it takes down a quarterback's completion percentage. There's
just so many factors that go into it. I think
(06:17):
it's a little over blown, you know, with New England
right now that oh my gosh, Brady never had ninety
percent completion percentage in the game. Drake May has ninety
one point three. I'm not taking anything away from Drake.
I'm just saying this stat is a little bit.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Overblown, overblown. I agree.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Also, they've won four in a row. I want to,
you know, get a big game next week against Cleveland.
This is going to be a track game, not a
trap game. That defense is for real, right, for real game.
That's a for real.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Game, No real.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
I mean, I think this is another big test game. Yes,
because there we go this game. You can't you can't
do like Schwartz. He's gonna have Miles Garrett and the
boys pinback ready to kill people. We always watched the
goddamn film from twenty thirteen or twenty eleven. When we
went to Cleveland. I'm sure Vrabel's gonna bring that damn
thing up. But you know, Gabriel's looked better on offense.
(07:10):
With with with Cleveland Brown. So another big test also
lasts before we move on. Booty make some big plays.
He's making some key plays. It's great to see Diggs.
He's he's kind of moving around, getting a lot of catches.
Really big play by Pop Douglas on that fourth and
(07:31):
one one hander catch.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
That's what you need. I mean, there's just a.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Lot of guys making plays and it's been fun to watch.
I hope they continue this thing. Let's move on to
something next.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
All right, let's move on. We got the.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Big names return.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
Oh, we got the big names returning. Yes, we got
Rashie Rice who returned seven receptions forty two yards, two touchdowns.
And then the Kansas City Chiefs and it ended up
beating the Las Vegas Raiders thirty one to nothing. I mean,
it wasn't even a contest by the Raiders. The Chiefs
are looking like the Chiefs like they have been throughout
the previous years. They're a total different team than they
(08:08):
were the first couple of weeks of the year. They
got everyone returning. They all returned, they're all healthy, and
they're playing at the highest level in the NFL. I
think the Chiefs are a top three team, if not
the best team in the league right now, along with.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Are you taking in the AFC to beat them? Right now?
Speaker 4 (08:24):
Bucks as well? They're up there.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Are you taking right now?
Speaker 3 (08:26):
I don't see anyone in the af I mean really
beating the Chiefs. They're the top team to me after
what I saw them do.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
The last year.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
So let's play this game.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
You got Buffalo, you got the Ravens, and then you
got the New the new dudes, you got new dudes,
you got Indian pasts, I would say Indian pass say
the Jags were there.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
But they just got manhandled.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
The Jags are back to being the Jags. Yeah, I
think they got lucky at the beginning of the season with
these four wins.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
Yeah, they just got manhandled by by a.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Beat up LA Rams team in London, which is a
home game for them because they go every year.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
And LA had to travel on Actra six hours to
get the way.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
They stayed in Baltimore and then went from Baltimore day before,
which was a smart coach McVeigh. So those are like
the teams in the AFC. Is they're gonna get another.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
I would say the Colts are the best chance.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
I know, But are we taking Daniel Jones.
Speaker 4 (09:17):
No, you're not. I'm just saying that's the best chance
I know.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
And that's what I'm It's scary right now because right now,
if you had to put a bow on it and
say who's going to represent the conference, I mean, it's
it's them, all right.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
Well, let's get back to the big names returning. We
also had CD Lambrey big game that he made a
big impact as well, big game, five receptions, one hundred
and ten yards and a touchdown and they ended.
Speaker 4 (09:41):
Up beating Washington forty.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
And then we had George Kittle who returned zero receptions
for zero yards. But that's not really where he you know,
makes his impact all the time in the past game.
He makes his impact in the run game as well.
And what happened to Christian McCaffrey.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
He had that was the best game Christian mc caffrey's
looked all year. I mean, that was old vintage Christian McCaffrey.
We haven't kind of seen that. And it's not by
accident that George Kittle, a guy who manhandles in the
rent run game, comes back and McCaffrey has his best
game against a hot but hot Atlanta team that has
(10:20):
been playing pretty decent defense. I was really disappointed with
Atlanta last night.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Really disappointed with Atlanta is a team where they're so
unpredictable every single week.
Speaker 4 (10:30):
One week they live on fire.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
They look great, they're beating the Buffalo Bills, everything's clicking,
offense looks on fire, and then next week they absolutely
tank and they can get blown out. They can they
can beat a great team, they can lose to a
terrible team. You just never know what Atlanta's gonna do.
They've been like that for a few years now, so
you can't be disappointed in them. You just say, oh,
that's the Atlanta Falcons. You don't know what you're gonna
(10:53):
get on a weekly basis.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
They have no identity and and and that's what's so
great about the NFL. Look, three guys come back. You
got Rashi, Rice, you got Kittle, and you have CD
Lamb and and they literally can change how the teams are,
how the.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Offense elevates them to a whole no, whole, nother level.
I mean cowboys.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
I think that time without CD was probably good for
them because they developed a rapport with freaking Pickings. Now
they look like They're unstoppable. On offense, Kittle comes back,
they run the best they ever have, and then Rashi
Rice comes back, and now the King the Chiefs are
the are the Kings again unstoppable. So like going forward,
you look at teams like the Los the Los Angeles
(11:41):
Chargers when they start getting healthy, hopefully they can they
can learn from this and get better because they've been
losing games because they're battered.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
Up right now, they sure are.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
How about this New York Giants game against the Broncos yesterday.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
That was one of the craziest fourth quarters I've ever seen.
That has to be a record for the most points
in the fourth quarter scored. I mean, if no one's
talking about that, if it's a record or not. So
I'm not sure if it is. But thirty three points
the Denver Broncos scored in the fourth quarter zero throughout
the first three quarters. Would you say it was more
of the Denver Broncos, you know, making that comeback happen,
(12:16):
or was it more of a collapse by the New
York Giants.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
I think it's a combination of both. You know, New
York is still a young football team. Jackson Dart and
Cam scatterjuice.
Speaker 4 (12:28):
Like scam Scatibaugh. We got nicknames all over.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
The scatta juice. These kids got juice, you know.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Like they're young and they're hungry, and they're feisty and
they're fun.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
But they don't know how to win yet. Like that
team doesn't know how to win yet.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
They're exciting though, and the Denver Broncos their battle tests,
they know how to win. They've they've won some ugly,
sloppy games this year with their defense. They made the
plays when the team needed it. It was a big
win for bow Knicks to come back because he the
offense hasn't looked right with the Broncos all year, you
know what I mean, doesn't it seem hard for them?
Speaker 3 (13:02):
It's hard, and they've been disappearing. It's that game perfectly
explained their offense. They just disappear for a quarter, they
disappear for two quarters, and then all of a sudden
they turn it on. And some games they disappear throughout
the whole game. And that's why they have some losses
because that defense is performing, but you got to have
an offense as well. They scored some points. The defense
can't have a shut out every single week. So that offense,
(13:23):
if they get going, they're gonna be a scary team
if they get going like they did in the fourth quarter.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
But that you know, a rhythm. They got to find
a groove.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Denver's thirty three points in the fourth quarter were the
most in an NFL game by a team who was
shut out in the first three quarters. Wow, that was
That was such an entertaining game.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
That was a fun game. I feel bad for Dable.
Speaker 4 (13:49):
I do, man, I really love.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
He's on that line.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
He's on that lines man then because if they win
that game, you know he has a couple more you know,
chances get more, you get, you get an extra life.
It's kind of like Mario, you got a green freaking
mushroom thing.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
But I think he's gonna get it, you know, get
it to where he needs to get it.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
He got I do too, I am, but I hope
they give him the time to get it where they
need to get it. Yes, but what an unbelievable week
of football. I mean, Eagles are they back?
Speaker 1 (14:20):
They're back? They aren't backed, they are.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
They open up the playbuck and air it out and
then they go for over three.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Hundred guards something to be said about Sirianni.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
They were saying, Jalen Hurts can't throw the ball down
the field, And all of a sudden, he's just launching
it left and right down the field like it's.
Speaker 4 (14:35):
Just all over place, all over the white. Why don't
they just do that every week? Why don't they just
toss it down the field? De Smith like that all
the time. It's like it's like they just save it.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
I think they're just such a complimentary team. Sometimes, you know,
the rhythm gets off. It's tough because when they put
it together, they look unstoppable. I think they've been struggling
that offensive line a little. I mean, the run game
was better yesterday, but it wasn't what it wash. And
you know that that was a little disappointed with B
(15:05):
Flow in the in the defense over there. Come on,
B Flow, I know, if we're gonna go blitz zero,
can we tell the dB watch out for double move
that AJ Brown's gonna give that he's done like three
or four times.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
I mean, I like where he's getting creative and how
to stop the tush that was sick?
Speaker 2 (15:26):
Yeah, but how do you bro, We're gonna leave your
ribs vulnerable for three guys? To just come in and
freaking put them their helmet right in there. Hey, don't worry,
you're gonna be all right. You're gonna be all right.
We may not get the play, but it's gonna be
a rep under the bucks.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
I love the effort and I'm just messing with b
Flow because I hold I think he's such a great
play caller on on the defensive side of the ball
that I just wanted to see more. And you gotta
tip your cap to to Sirianni. He got the boys up.
That was a must win for Philly.
Speaker 4 (15:58):
It really was.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Was they lost the last two and now they come
back and they spank the Vikings.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Yeah, what a week. This season's flying by before we
know it.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
It's gonna be cream season, thinks, but yeah, it's almost
cream season. Cream rises to the top, and we'll get
into it. Cream rises to the top all this. You know,
we just milked the cow at the beginning of the year,
and you let that, you let that that that milk
just sit and what what naturally happens? All the good
(16:29):
stuff goes to the top and all that bad stuff
you throw it out stand and then you get cream
season and then you find out who's butter teams because
you get the very top stuff you get off and
you get it for the butter. Shout out to our farmers.
Thanks for tuning into our week seven reaction. Make sure
you like and subscribe. Seasons are flying by. We'll see
(16:51):
you Thursday on our regular scheduled episode.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
It's a good one.
