Speaker 1 (00:00):
Boom, Shaka laka. It's our nuber three hour number three.
We head down below the Mason Dixon line where there's
a quarterback and the injury tent. Can you unscramble what
this latest injury does to Michael Pennox Junior's future with

(00:20):
the Falcons. Sounds like he'll be out the rest of
the year. Also, what are your expectations for Shadur Sanders
in his first start for the Browns as he's expected
to start this coming week. And how do you evaluate
Justin Fields who has now been demoted he is no
longer QB one with the Jets. We'll talk about that

(00:42):
as well. Right now here it is our number three,
the big Peach in a pinch. If you will welcome
in the beginning of another hour of the Ben Mahler Show.
We are in the air everywhere as we break rocks.

(01:05):
Let me tell you something. I'll tell you something right now,

I know, mister Irrigation a big fan of ti Iraq.
Absolutely we continue the hits. The Cowboys won the Monday

(02:12):
night game between two losing teams. We'll talk about another
losing team here. We head to the atl where Atlanta
is enjoying Murphy's Law the Falcons this year, finding that
anything that can go wrong will go wrong. Welcome to
the twenty twenty five Atlanta Falcons. We have learned now
that the Falcons have placed quarterback Michael Pennex Junior oh

(02:36):
my aching knee and Pennex on injured reserve. He gone.
According to the prop the news service of the NFL.
They tell us NFL Network that Penex aggravated a bone bruise,
a bruise they say, bone bruise and a knees sprain. Earlier.

(02:57):
He had this in this early on season. He got
hehard against over the weekend. There has been damage done
to the ACL, something that we know because we're sports
fans the ACL, and they're talking about a full reconstruction.
Michael Pennix Junior is currently trying to find a doctor
that doesn't want to do that. He's doctor shopping, trying

(03:18):
to get second and third opinions and what not, trying
to see if there's a consensus here. So that is
a good jumping off, But let us discuss the question,
can you unscramble what the injury does to Michael Pennix
Junior and his future with the Atlanta Falcons. All right,
so my views on this, I've got mal kiosk Ripley's

(03:42):
believe it or Not and Gypsy King and we will
combine all of these things together and we are going
to make the gobbegle. We're gonna make the gobbegle. Now,
first of all, to answer the question, what does this
injury do to Michael Pennix Junior and his future with
the Falcons. This is a tsunami. It's what this is.

(04:03):
This is a tsunami. Wowsers. You knew this was on
the table as a possibility, that he was on the table.
But this thing is a sand castle. Michael Pennex with
the Falcons is like a sand castle at high tide.
It looks good, but you know, at any moment here

(04:25):
it's over that water comes up. See you later. Now,
Atlanta fought. You know what happens when you think they
thought that they had solved their quarterback quagmire a couple
of years ago and that they were going to have
at least one good quarterback, one good quarterback for the

(04:45):
next five years. So they went out. They did some shopping, shopping.
They thought they were shopping on Rodeo Drive. They were not.
They went out of They got the Cousins Pennex in
the same offseason. And how did that work? So instead
of getting the quarterback position taking care for the next
five years, they have created the world's most expensive liability. Now,

(05:09):
I got Kirk Cousins. At the time they signed him,
he was coming off a major injury with Minnesota and
at age thirty, five, he's now I believe thirty seven. Now,
Pennex Junior was coming out of college. We loved watching
him play in college at Washington, and he played at
Indiana before that. But he had a medical file thicker.
They used to have these things called phone books, and

(05:31):
if you could find a phone book in Atlanta, that
the amount of injuries, The amount of injuries that he
had bigger than that, and so what could possibly go wrong?
Well we know because fast forward to today and Penex
has kept doctors busy. He kept him busy when he
was in college. Here we go again. He's got two
surgically repaired knees already. He's got a bad collarbone injury

(05:55):
that he had. He's got the ac joint which is
connected to this joint and that joint and all these
other joints. And it's like the Injury's Greatest Hits album.
It's like this is Anthony Davis, Kawhi Leonard, like injury
stuff is what this is. And you can't pretend this
stuff's not going to shorten a career. You'd have to

(06:16):
be gullible. How gullible would you have to be? You'd
have to be the person that stops at a mall
kiosk and listens to a timeshare presentation and gives your
credit card over and says, Okay, that sounds good. I'm
gonna get a timeshare property that what could possibly go wrong? Now,

(06:38):
if you want to know what could go wrong, just
listen to all the commercials overnight to tell you if
you'd like to get out of a timeshare. Those run
at least once a year for a couple months at
a time. And so if you're the person that goes
to the mall, if they have not outdoor malls these days,
I guess you go there, you see a little kiosk
and you're like, okay, that seems like a good idea.
Back in the day, you'd go to Vegas and they say, okay,

(06:59):
we'll give you a free show, and you give your
free meal. You got to come listen to our pitch,
and then they'd take your driver's license, you'd take your
car keys, and you're first born, and then they'd spend
four hours telling you about how great the Bahamas are.
And he say, okay, I'm good. I'm good on that.
So listen. Here's the point. We're talking about the Atlanta Falcons. Here,
Michael Pennix Junior and his injury the bigger issue. If

(07:22):
he was playing great balls to the wall, good footballs
to the wall, good, you'd say, Okay, we'll just hang out,
we'll let him rehab, we'll be fine. However, he sucked.
There's no long way to say it. Michael Penick Jr.
Was not good. He was occasionally okay, occasionally okay, never consistent,

(07:47):
never consistent. And here's the real kick to the balls.
The Atlanta Falcons don't have their first round pick, which
is currently a top ten pick in the draft. They
sent that to the Aletta Rams. Because you can ram
it all day, you can it all night, and you
can ram it on NFL Draft Thursday. You can so
their insurance plan. What is the insurance plan they're gonna

(08:09):
get rid of the end of this year. Pennick Junior
is gonna be hurt. Likely will He's gonna have surgery.
It's a full reconstruction. You're looking at likely a year,
which means he's gonna miss most of next season. If
he even comes back next season, Cousins, they'll get out
of the contract with Cousins, so he'll be gone and

(08:30):
then they'll be looking through the quarterback reject man. Now,
who's gonna be available? Who do you think's to be
on market as we project ahead of the NFL offseason?
What quarterbacks on the wheel of quarterbacks will be available? Now?
I would argue that toua tongue Bailoa will be available,
that Geno Smith. The Raiders would love to get out
of that boondoggle and get rid of Geno Smith. Justin Fields,

(08:53):
he's already lost his job. More on him in a minute.
With the Jets, Aaron Rodgers? Is he a one and
done in Pittsburgh? How about Anthony Richardson developmental quarterback? He
also can't play with the Colts? How about him, Jamis Winston,
Russell Wilson. Do any of these names get you? Tingley
mac Jones from the Niners. He's gonna want to start somewhere.

(09:14):
The Niners paid Brock Purty, so I can't keep Mac
if somebody gives him a starting job. And there's still
a possibility Trevor Lawrence ends up on there if the
Jacksonville Jags fall apart at the end of the year.
Kyler Murray, the little fella, Kyler Murray, So pick your fighter,
pick your fighter, Come on now, it's a clearance rack
of damaged goods. That's who Atlanta's looking at. And that's

(09:38):
where Atlanta finds themselves right now. And for Pennix, the
top scenario is he's out for like nine months, he rehabs,
maybe he's ready for training camp. Maybe maybe not. We're
talking about a third ACL tear. At some point, the
body sends you a message and says we're good, We're done.

(10:02):
No moss, no moss. The ligaments don't become better with
each surgery unless he gets terminator surgery. Now, if he
gets terminator surgery, then we're looking at something pretty different here.
Good luck on that. Instead. The future in Atlanta, the future,

(10:23):
which was Michael Pennock Junior, lasted about as long as
a peach tree in an ice storm in Georgia. This
seemed to last that long, you know, just that the
ice doesn't do well. There a calamity for the player,
calamity for the football team. And the Falcons did it
to themselves. Did anyone have a worse offseason than the
Atlanta Falcons a couple years ago? They could have hired

(10:46):
Bill Belichick. They hired Raheem Morris, who can't coach his
way out of a wet paper bag. They had the
choice of quarterbacks. They had money to burn, and they
picked an injury prone quarterback and Michael Pennock Junior and
a guy coming off of major injury in Kirk Cousins.
Tremendous leadership, tremendous vision from the Atlanta Falcons. Speaking of

(11:08):
a vision, here we go now to Cleveland. Say what
the Browns are expected to start? Should Dur Sanders? Yeah,
that guy, the guy that blew chunks. Should Ur Sanders
at quarterback will be QB number one on Sunday, Sunday Sunday.
He will be fed to the Ravens as it were,

(11:30):
taking on the afriend of the Raiders rather not the Ravens.
But the Browns just played the Ravens and they'll play
the Raiders this weekend. So this comes after Dylan Gabriel,
who also stinks. He suffered a concussion week eleven there
against the Baltimore football team. Now Sanders is expected to start,

(11:50):
barring some unexpected occurrence with Bailey Zappi Zappi mania. I'm
old enough to remember when the Patriots had Zappi mania,
and he will be the backup quarterback there for the
Cleveland football team. So the question here it is what
are your expectations, What are your expectations for Shader Sanders

(12:11):
in his first start for the Cleveland Browns, which is
expected to be this weekend. So the Browns living up
to the nickname the Factory of Sadness, and they are
opening their doors up for another art exhibit. And this
is right out of Ripley's believe it or not, the auditorium.
It's what happens when you put a social media influencer

(12:33):
and you put him at quarterback in the NFL. How
is this going to go? Well, we saw how it
went when they had a dry run against the Baltimore
football team, and it does belong in the auditorium. Now,
the good news is you can't play any worse than
Shuder Sanders did. So that's he's already in the sewer.

(12:55):
And all of us who will be watching that game,
a Browns Raiders game, we're all rubbernecking. Everyone's rubbernecking. We're
all slowing down on the highway and we're our necks
are cranked out the window where like a dog looking
out the window, peeking out seeing all the glass on
the highway, and there's there's a bumper over there, there's

(13:15):
a piece of a tire over there. It's a big mess.
It's a it's an absolute big mess. And what a
what a wreckage that was for Shuder Sanders. And now
this past weekend, shooter and we said this the other night,
but Shoulder played like he was a server at Applebee's

(13:36):
and he had never done that before. And it was
the dinner rush and people were very upset with him
because he was too slow. He was overwhelmed as a
server there. He was juggling too many tables. It was problematic.
He was dropping plates and silverware for getting orders, and
he was completely overwhelmed. And the only thing missing was
Shudur Sanders breaking the huddle by saying, hey, guys, I'll

(13:58):
get you your mats around sticks in a minute. I
don't have the mozzarella sticks. Where are my Mozzarelli sticks? Anyway,
the weekend. This weekend is a visit to the auditorium,
the curiosity shop. And that's all it is. You're not
watching that game because you think the Browns found a
hidden gem in the fifth round of the draft. You're

(14:19):
not watching it. You're watching because you want to know
how bizarre, Oh, how bizarre this can get cam Moart.
We love the quote he would say, this is the
way should Sanders plays it? We ask in this case
he asks, is what he would say? Now? This is
the only reason to watch the Browns right now. Now,
this is it. It's kind of you when Doritos will

(14:40):
come out with a new flavor every once in a
while and it's probably terrible, probably horrible, but you're like,
I'll try it just to say I did it. I'll
give it a shot. So the expectations are in the sewer.
That's where they are with the teenage mutant ninja turtles.
And if Shauldur Sanders throws for one hundred and fift
fifty yards and doesn't spontaneously combust while throwing for one

(15:05):
hundred and fifty yards behind the offensive line there, that
would be a win. That the bar is that low.
We'll just throw for one hundred and fifty yards and
do not spontaneously combust. If he completes more passes to
Brown's receivers than Raiders defenders, time for a parade. Let's
get a parade going. And if he doesn't look like

(15:28):
he should be working at a Wetzel's pretzels counter at
the airport. That's a statue. Get the man statue. So
it's all that. And Kevin Stefanski, he didn't want to
play him. We know that I didn't want to play the guy.
The fans have been screaming. I don't know how much
of that is real and how much of that is
an algorithm, bots, fake accounts, all that stuff. I'm skeptical

(15:53):
considering how terrible he played. And now everyone is about
to find out a full week of practice, the reports
out of Cleveland or right, we'll check with strip club
John Boots on the ground there in OHIOI, but we're
about to find out why he wasn't moving up the
depth chart. Grab you popcorn. Make sure it's got a
lot of butter, a lot of butter, and might need

(16:16):
a fire extinguisher as well. Good need that? All right,
final thought, we continue to talk about suckbag quarterbacks. Let's
move on to Jersey. Now we turn the page. We
go to Jersey, where the Jets have demoted unceremoniously Justin Fields.
Remember he's the guy started Thursday against the Patriots and
looked like he didn't know what he was doing. Yeah,

(16:37):
Justin Fields has been benched for Tyrod Taylor. Yes, the
guy that was poked by the Charger team doctor and
then that was it for Tyrod Taylor. There so question
for the esteem panel, how do you evaluate Justin Fields?
And assuming that he's done now, there is always the

(17:00):
possibility comes back because Taylor's terrible and he gets hurt
or whatever. But at this point we have a show
to do today, so let's worry about today. How do
you evaluate Justin Fields and his run with the Jets.
So the more I watch Justin Field's play, the more
I am reinforced of my opinion that this is it's

(17:20):
like a trust fund guy. The scouting report is like
a trust fund. He's living off the scouting report. It's
just wild. He hasn't cashed a check for actual on
field performance since he was at the Ohio State in Columbus, Ohio,
and yet somehow, somehow he keeps mamboozling NFL franchise. This

(17:47):
is a big problem in the Nif you have the
geno Smith has done the same thing. He can't play,
he keeps finding gigs, and you look at Justin Fields,
You're like, what is going on? I do not under
I don't get it. First to Bears, top Bears, then
you had the Steelers, and now you've got the Jets.

(18:09):
Three teams. All of those teams fell for the same brochure.
They fell for the same marketing campaign. You talk about
a hustle. Is this not one of the great hustles.
I'm impressed. I'm not ripping again. This is I wouldn't
ripping Gino Smith. I'm not ripping Justin Fields. I am
truly impressed that a player with so little ability can

(18:31):
keep finding gameful employment. It is fascinating to me, and
we should call this what it is. He's like the
Gypsy king justin Field. He's calling the Gypsy King. He's
traveling from town to town and committing small crimes and
stealing people's money. It's distraction. Theft is what he's doing.

(18:52):
And he's the common denominator in all of this. Like
everywhere the guy goes, Justin Fields, everywhere the guy goes.
I was the passing game, flat lines like a corpse
at the morgue, are on the way to the morgue.
And the final straw was that game against the Patriots.
What do you have? One hundred and sixteen yards. I
think that was the number. Whatever it was, it wasn't

(19:13):
a lot, it was a lot. He's had four games
in the past five weeks under two hundred yards passing,
so that is the tipping point there, under sixty percent
completions on the regular. On the regular it's like the
Jets are running a nineteen ninety two style offense, but

(19:33):
it was not nineteen ninety two. Well I know, but
that's what they're running. They like that throwback offense. And
they're averaging the Jets one hundred and thirty nine point
nine yards passing per game. That is not bad. That
is historical failure. In fact, they're on pace to be
the worst passing team in the NFL since the twenty
twenty two Bears. You know who the quarterback of the

(19:54):
twenty two Bears was ding Ding Ding ding Ding. Yes, yes,
justin fields. So you can't make this stuff up. It's wild.
So what's the proper evaluation. Well, the proper evaluation is
fields did not fix the Jets. The Jets exposed fields
one more time, just like the Steelers did. You knew

(20:15):
that things were not going well when Mike Tomlin rather
than go back to justin fields continue to throw out
the rotting carcass of Russell Wilson, because that's how bad
Justin Fields was. And the Bears they had the number
one pick. If they thought Justin Fields was good, I'm
actually surprised they didn't keep them. There were people saying, oh,
Justin Field should continue on in Chicago. Even Tree in

(20:37):
Chicago was rolling his eyes and say, what are we doing?
And then you go, you pull back the curtain here
with the Jets, and there's nothing there but a guy
who's still trying to survive on draft day hype. And
so they've turned to Tyrod Taylor, who, at age thirty six,
he's not the future, but he's the president right now.
And at least Tyrod will complete a slant pass of

(21:01):
more than two yards past the line of scrimmage, so
there is that that's good. And he will not launch
it into some canal in Brooklyn. He will not do that.
And so the Justin Fields era very predictable. We're at
the point now. It was short, it was miserable, not
quite over yet. It's kind of like watching a sequel

(21:22):
to a bad movie. Now you watch that sequel there,
you already saw it. A couple of times and you're
that keeps getting worse. How did it get worse? I
don't understand, but it did. It is the Ben Mallor Show.
