(00:23):
listening to Fox Sports Radio. Oh, let's go, speak genius,
go big boy, let's go. You notice what I did
in promoting the show tonight? I was no, I have
no idea what you did. I mean, God's well, first
of all, we need to have a little Twitter conversation
with our man, Arnie span Your of course, Alex tie
(00:44):
shirt is in the house. Uh look look Burr singer
in the studio. Let's go wow. And uh so, Arnie,
I think this is still the case, uh ty shirt.
If I'm in Craig tell me. But when you sent
out the initial tweet about us being on in prime
time tonight, baby, if you consider uh the Devil's time
(01:07):
zone Pacific time zone, not really, you're not really prime
Todd's two in the morning when I get off the air.
But go ahead. He never listens to me. You got
if you consider Pacific time zone, it's prime time, Artie Spaniard,
Come on, uh. When you tweet and the first thing
you do is at someone, you only reach out to
the people that follow you and me, you don't reach
(01:29):
out to everybody. That's why, Yes, well in there? How
do I put your names in there? If I don't
put at well, you do it. But it's not the
first thing you put in your tweets. You do this.
This is what happens when you tweet two hours before
we go on the air. Arnie, did you not find
a kind of odd that it only had like one
comment on it so far? I mean usually where oh
(01:52):
I see so if I like to do a sentence
first that goes by EXA, I'm such a dope. I
didn't know that. That's just everybody today. What's going on?
It's like, did did Chasing Advike scare everybody off? What's
going on here? We got a lot of work to
do tonight, man. Arnie and I are blessed to be
a part of the weekend line up here. You can
(02:14):
hear us every Sunday night pretty much the same time slot,
except we get a bonus hour. Now it's your choice
either that bonus hour is this hour, right yeah, or
as we come to you alive from the tire rack
dot Com studios tire rack dot com. Well up, you
get there and unmatched selection, fast free shipping, free road
hatchard protection and over ten thousand recommended installers tire rack
(02:35):
dot Com. The way tire buying should be that bonus
hour can be the last hour you Arnie Span your
are a firm believer that the bonus hour is the
final hour of the show. Correct, absolutely, power our third hour,
bonus hour of the fourth hour. Have all these rules.
I have a friend of mine that has these rules
about when it's officially hump Day, Like you're not you're
not officially over the hump on hump Day until it's
(02:57):
after lunch. It's like, you can't call it hump day.
It's not truly the weekend until it's five o'clock on Friday.
I'm like, okay, I feel like you can start it
whenever you want and say and then Sunday apparently it's
not the start of the arts, the start of the
work week as soon as the red Zone channel comes
to it. And though I kind of agree with them
(03:18):
on that. Uh, but we get a chance hang on Sundays.
So if you caught us last night, hey, kudos for
finding us again tonight. We're pumped to recap Week fifteen.
Got a lot of NFL content over the next four
hours of the program, but we got two major stories
that are stealing headlines right now. The green Bay Packers,
(03:38):
as you just heard at the top of the hour
of taking the up, taking the lead up to eleven
with seven fifties seven. You know, Arnie's feet is always
a little bit ahead of mine. Packers lead the Rams
seventeen to six. Uh. The Rams look like a quarterback
who's basically playing in just his what sixth quarter with
the seventh fool quarter coming up? But you know, I
gotta be honest with you, kind of thought green Bay
(04:00):
would beat them worse. Maybe it starts to kind of
unleashed here a little bit, as the Rams haven't been
able to run the football. But I don't really know
what to say about this game except by no stretch
of humanity or society did we think that this takes
for this game would be this low. Whenever the preseason
schedule came out four and nine Los Angeles versus five
(04:23):
and eight Green Right, Now, a couple of things for me.
First of all, I mean, as a Dolphin fan, I'm
I'm pulling for the Rams because I want next week's game.
Green Bay did just say okay, our player folpes are
over and we're just gonna you know, roll over and wilt.
But uh win today and they still have a twelve
percent chance of it, I guess, of getting into the playoffs.
And also, you know, maybe it's me. I don't want
(04:43):
to over read this, but doesn't Baker Mayfield just look
like a I don't want to say, a whole different
new quarterback. It just has something different about him. I
can't put my finger on it. He just looks better,
um than as a time in Carolina and part of
his time in Cleveland. Just something about him just having
been a Ram uniform. Um, I really think you could
be successful for you know, a team that isn't going
(05:05):
through a bunch of growing pains like the teams he's
been on. I really can't wait to see where he
ends up next year. To be honest, he uh the
numbers wouldn't wouldn't sell you on this, right, He's only
eight of fourteen for seventy four yards. But I mean
the Rams, what did they say, fourteen different offensive line
combinations that they've had so far this season? Fourteen and
(05:26):
one of the seven head coaches or something like that. Well,
Baker has, yeah, but I mean just the Rams in
general Ronnie this season have that fourteen different I know
Arnie doesn't care about the offensive line, so that's why
he completely ignored me on it. If you could, if
you could be friends with the owner, then you're getting
the job. You can be head coached exactly, Jeff Saturday
be the coach whatever. But offensive line wise, they've had
(05:47):
fourteen different combinations. They had one of their guys go
down early. Oh and by the way, they've run the
ball for forty two yards on twelve carries. So you
know what I get it. From my perspective, I am
an unabashed Baker Mayfield believer and I've always been that way.
And part of it is the fact that I live
in Oklahoma. The other part of it is I've seen it.
(06:08):
I think there was a loss of confidence in Cleveland.
I think there was a carry over to Carolina. And again,
these numbers aren't gonna wow anybody but I just I
feel like there is Gosh is gonna sound so corny,
but I think there's something to be said about working
with somebody that truly believes in it, and I think
Sean McVeigh has has given Baker confidence. I think he
(06:31):
believes in him. I'm not here to tell you that
Baker Mayfield's gonna go when the m v P next
year or even be the ram starting quarterback. But again,
make fun of it all you want, but he's got
a guy that's kind of said, hey, go out and
let it rip. You know, I believe in you. I
loved you in the draft process. We talked for what
was this story, like three hours on a fly, and
they they just really seem to have a good relationship.
(06:53):
Now it's still not very good. They're getting their butts
kicked tonight, but in the end, I agree with you
are and it's got like a it's got like a
little more of a Baker type swag to him that
we saw early in his career. You know, Chris is
the early success even though it's limited for brock Purty
in San Francisco, I totally believe that Baker Mayfield would
have the same success up there in San Francisco. Also,
(07:14):
especially with the defense that they've got up there. Um,
you know, nothing against brock Purty, but I think he's
taken advantage of the opportunity has had. But I think
Baker Mayfield could have done that also. I I think
he could have played fantastic um behind a defense like that.
My goodness, who wouldn't be great under that? So yeah,
I think he just has to find the right situation.
He's not gonna be back with the Rams next year, No, No,
(07:36):
I don't think. I don't think he's gonna have to
find themselves someplace where he can compete as a starter.
And if it's not gonna be a garbage team out there,
can I give you one counter, Arnie, to your hopes
that the Packers would lose tonight and thus they would
be low on motivation for next week's game against the
Dolphins and only twelve percent chance to make the playoffs.
(07:56):
I think the one thing that could happen is if
they did is I think they could shut down Aaron Rodgers.
I was thinking about that, love and then then all
of a sudden, uh that they have extra incentive or
something to that fact. Well, and I know it's like
two drives, right, maybe three in the second half of
that Eagles game. But you and I were on after
(08:17):
it and we all agree that he looked really good.
So I mean again, I'm not sitting here trying to
raise any panic meters for your Packers Dolphins matchup that
you have triumphantly proclaimed the Dolphins are going to win.
But I mean again, there's been all kinds of back
and forth conversations about shutting down Aaron Rodgers. Listen, he
(08:38):
hasn't looked terrible tonight, but he sure hasn't looked good.
And I get it. Conditions are awful. Neither team has
really been able to run the football. Just sixteen hundred
sixty four yards and a really bad interception that it
was his tint of the season. But I don't know.
I think call me falling for the falling for the
girl that has the pretty Twitter bio that tells me
(08:59):
she wants to reach out to me or something. Right there,
you're she's not a bot, she's a real person. I'm
falling for it right now with Jordan love Ony. I
think that's the last thing you want to worry about
seeing next week. If you're Miamis I want to say, well,
first of all, good news. Uh, if Aaron Rodgers does play, Um,
there won't be any snow, no snow in the forecast,
uh down there in Miami. Um, Miami wasn't phased for this,
(09:21):
uh you know, for the bad weather in Buffalo. So again,
thank goodness, it's gonna be down there in Miami. Grid
Bays rolled over, you could see it. I mean, look,
I know they're winning this game, but when they face
a quality opponent, they are not going to get it done.
And that's why I think Miami's gonna win this one
pretty easily. Well, I'll tell you, um, I love your
confidence because it's sure as hell hasn't been there the
(09:43):
last few weeks with the way things have gone horrible
for the Miami Dolphins. And honestly, I'm not even all
that down on him. I think you should be pretty
high based on the way the two have looked on
Saturday Night. But we'll get to that coming up in
just a bit. He's on the Spaniard. I'm Chris Blank.
We're sitting in for Jason Smith to I and Mike
Harmon here on Fox Sports Radio. Best way to get
in touch with the shows on Twitter, at stink and
(10:04):
Genius one Ahmed Plank show everyone should be following us
At Fox Sports Radio, I mentioned there's two major stories
making headlines tonight. Esman, you're one, of course, Monday Night
football and again the Packers leaded seventeen to six with
just over five minutes ago in the third period third court.
Excuse me. The other big story Jalen Hurts. Jalen Hurts.
(10:25):
We talked about this a little bit last night and
any concern from from Eagles fans about the way that
they played. But when we when we signed off last
night at two am Eastern time, and as many of
us have pontificated and bloviated throughout the day today, there
were how many conversations that centered around concerns that Jalen
(10:46):
Hurts might be hurt after yesterday? None, zero, na a, zilch.
Then all of a sudden, some random reporter out of
no face of this guy. By the way, I thought
it was brilliant, but some random reporter says, Jalen Hurts
has a broken collar belt, and everybody freaked out, like
what broke about three o'clock, right three o'clocks Central time,
(11:06):
God's time zone? And so Everyone's like, oh, come on,
that's just crazy, and then you hear it's a sprained shoulder.
Then yere, he's gonna be out potentially next week. Then
you think beyond, and then the next thing you know,
hold on, what's going on here? One of the guys
considered in the mix, if not the favorites in some
people's eyes for the m v P has a sprain
(11:26):
to his right throwing shoulder, and his availability for Saturday
is in question. So to part through that aren't not
as bad as the original report. But in your opinion,
how bad is this news for Philadelphia going into Saturday? Well,
Vegas thought it was bad. Remember when you were reading
it was the last night you were reading the m
v P. Odds, Um, I don't know what right here?
(11:47):
What was Mahomes that plus what like one thirty Mahomes
is minus three seventy. Okay, because he was he's a
bigger favorite now from the news that went out, So
obviously Vegas said, Okay, Holmes is now gonna win the
m v P. Let's go get that. The line in
the game I believe moved from two to five and
a half, and I expect that to get close to seven.
(12:08):
To be honest with you, maybe it stops in six
and a half, doesn't go over that magic number. Um,
I'm wondering, is this gonna go back to the time
because you saw fields get hurt hurts? Um, I mean
these running quarterbacks gonna be like this a lot. Is
it gonna be like one good shot it's gonna take
him out for two, three, four games? Because, um, you
know you're gonna see start seeing some of these running
(12:30):
quarterbacks going down and that's not gonna be good for
their teams. There, Chris Arnie des m v P odds
have just absolutely shot way in favor of Patrick Mahomes. Yes,
they did to minus two seventy five at bet MGM
right now, Um minus three twenty five at points Spet
minus three oh three. It's at Caesar's, which which for
(12:50):
some reason, I'm just gonna tell you right now, every
time I look at it, I want to say Caesars.
I don't know why. It's my whole life. Draft Kings
has it at minus three fifth, but I think yesterday
you told me that he was even like plus one
thirty five or something like that. If I'm no, I've
got it right here for You're right. It was plus
one twenty the m D pods or so in the
span of and this is according to points Bet. Early
(13:12):
this afternoon, Patrick Mahomes was plus one twenty. Jalen Hurts
was minus one thirty. Since the announcement of the injury
um points bet minus one thirty for Mahomes, plus one
tin for Jalen Hurts. That's what you call a shift
in business, y'all. Be sure to catch live editions of
The Jason Smith Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten
(13:33):
pm Eastern, seven pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and
the I Heart Radio app. It's already in Plank sitting
in for Jason and Mike here on Fox Sports Radio.
We're big on first names. Well, I guess I used
my last name because Artie and Plank sounds a lot
better than saying Arnie and Chris. Yeah. Yeah, where you
go by, you have a name that that just people
will call you by the last name. Yeah, exactly. It's
(13:53):
always been the case, you know. It's weird. Is as
we come to you tonight for the entire rack dot
Com Studios and Jason lacking for uh is coming up next.
Touchdown Packers by the way O six. I thought we're
gonna get a touchdown, throwing the end zone for the Rams.
But seconds left in the third quarter, Rams down four
to six to the Packers. Ryan Burr Shinger on pins
(14:13):
and needles back in the tire Rock dot Com studios,
not as a Packers fan because he's worried about the
Rams scoring. Here he feels confident, but Arnie's in a
big fantasy matchup and he can't. He can't have Aaron
Jones scoring another touchdown. Gosh, I love fantasy so much.
But they called my son is in college now right,
they call him playing, So I'm really thrown off. Whenever
(14:37):
I'm around him and his boys. It's like, you know what,
I'm just just call me old man or something. Just
call me. By the way, time out, thirty six seconds
left in the third quarter. Packers lead the Rams to six.
Jason lock and Ford joins us foremost insider in the
National Football League. He knows his music, he knows his NFL. Well,
(14:59):
you think of the night. I mean, obviously this is
the massive matchup we all expected between the Layers and
the Packers. Jason but ugly right, I mean, he's the
only way we can put it. This hasn't This hasn't
been a thing of beauty. No, No, it hasn't. Um
And I don't know that anybody really expected to be
if you've watched these teams with any regularity. But it
could get a little frisky here in the fourth quarter.
(15:20):
I mean, we'll see what the Rams do with this drive. Um.
I liked the over I liked the Rams to be
able to keep this within seven and a half. And
you know, the odds might be against the ladder of
those two things. Um, but I don't know, man, Like
(15:41):
I feel like McVeigh, like they're out there in Green Bay.
It hasn't been the season that anybody expected it to be.
Nobody thought Baker Mayfield would be their starting quarter a
week before Christmas, right, Like, who the hell saw that coming? Uh?
If they do get a touchdown here, it wouldn't shocked
me if he went for a two point conversion, if
(16:02):
they if they kind of you know, got a little
balls in the fourth quarter. So we'll see. Yeah, you know, Jason,
I thought this game could have been historic. And in
the terms of if Green Bay loses, they're pretty much
then completely out of the playoffs. Are like a point
two percent or something like that. They've ben j Aaron
Rodgers and they're probably the last time. Yeah, that's probably
the last time you ever see Aaron Rodgers take a
(16:22):
stop for the Green Bay Packers. Well, except you have
to give back like fifty five million dollars to change
hire next year, and he ain't doing that, So don't
let them pay him fifty whatever fifty five next year.
And if he backs up during love, he backs up
during love. But the bottom line is the Green Bay
Packers are going nowhere. They're they're in the ABYSS. They're
(16:45):
in the worst place you want to be in the NFL,
which is right in the middle. Because when you're in
the middle, man, you're not drafting high enough. You're not
getting the subsidy that you know, the League of Parody
provides you. And they need all those draft picks. They
got the picks they got for DeVante they've already used
(17:06):
and that still has led them to be a team
that's completely out of it. You know, by the start
of December, um, they need to play Jordan Loft. They
need to figure out what Jordan's love is and they've
got a fifth year option. They need to pick up
on Jordan's love, and even if they are stuck with
Rogers next year, which they are, they can't trade him
(17:28):
and he ain't retiring. They need to showcase Jordan's love
to try to get picks for Jordan's love, to try
to build around Aaron Rodgers while they still have to
pay Aaron Rodgers north of fifty million dollars a year
to be their quarterbacks. So I don't envy the situation
they're in, but I also have zero forgiveness for them
(17:49):
ending up in the situation that they're in because they
have acquiesced to Aaron Rodgers for two straight off seasons
and they've lost Davante Adams in the process. I know
we've got a big injury to talk about with Jalen Hurds,
and listen, Jason, I'm a banker, Homer. I live in Oklahoma.
I'm just outside of campus here, But aren't already hit
(18:12):
this earlier? I tend to agree with him. It's not
as if he's gonna go out there and throw for
three yards, but he just got he's got a little
different look to him, right, I mean it's it's it's
a little different swag. I'm not saying he's gonna start
for the Rams next year, but he just looks different. Well, look,
he was a one one and he's never gonna live
up to that and he's never going to be that good.
(18:34):
And you know, the bottom line is John Dorsey overdrafted him.
But can he play in this league for a long time?
Can he provide a little bit of verve and a
little bit of moxie and you know in the right
locker room? Could could he be the guy for some
(18:55):
period of time? I think so. I tend to think
called bounce around a little bit. I tend to think
he's already a bit of a football vagabond, and I
think that's kind of gonna be his thing. But like,
could there be a year, like some year for him
he's only twenty seven, like maybe his year thirty season,
(19:15):
his year thirty one season where he ends up in
the right place at the right time, right and he
was like a Nick Foles thing. He was brought in
to be the backup, but the starter gets hurt in
week twelve or week thirteen, and it's a it's a
great situation, Like it's a master play caller, it's a quarterback.
Since a guru type who's the head coach and they
(19:36):
have a bleep load of offensive talent, and like he
messes around and wins the Super Bowl, like Folds won
the Super Bowl. Like, I don't think that's out of
the question. He's going to be in the league for
a long time and a certain sort of pedigreed offensive
coordinator will be drawn to him. Um, And I do
think he will probably have a moment where he does
(19:59):
something thing that we didn't think was possible. Yeah, no doubt.
Like we gotta ask you about the ending of the
Las Vegas, New England game. I mean, I feel like
I gotta call up Joe Pisarchik to say, you're off
the hook. Now we've probably got to play. That's that's
the worst crazy, Yeah, it is. It is. Um, I'd
love to be able to blame Patricia for this. And
(20:21):
and actually I still kind of do. Like I I
know he didn't draw it up that way, but like
him standing there with the pencil behind his ear, you know,
calling up plays to nowhere. It's it's pretty pathetic. But no,
this is on Jacobe Meyers. I mean, I I don't
know what he was thinking. I don't think he knows
(20:42):
what he was thinking. Um, it's it's baffling. It's baffling
all the way around. Like that's something you do when
you're down by six or seven or eight points. It's
not even in the realm of conversation when you're tied
and you've been the better team for most of the
(21:04):
second half and a man, I don't know, but there's
you know, Belichick's got to own it, and Patricia has
got to own it, and Jacoby Myers has got to
own it, and it might be enough to keep them
out of the playoffs. I mean, I'm not really buying
the Jets right now either, but one of those two
(21:29):
teams is probably gonna make it, or you know, maybe
the Chargers keep them both out. I don't know how
the the MAT's gonna work out in the a f C.
But that's tragic that that's a football tragedy. Like you
gotta be better than that. Hey, Jason, what do we
know about the severity of the Jalen Hurts injury? How
(21:51):
concerned are you for him right now? Yeah? I mean
they're they're going to have a decision to make here
because there are three games up over the Cowboys and
they're playing the long game him and they're in good
stead to get the buye you know, no matter what
happens in this game for the most part, So it
wouldn't And and dude, you could do a hell of
(22:13):
a lot worse than Gardner Minshew as your quarterback, like hell,
has your backup a hell of a lot worse. So
it would not shock me if they aired on the
conservative side and said, look, we we've we've had this
former starter with us for the last two years and
(22:34):
we have you know, Davante Smith and a j and
they're getting got her back and they have h Sanders
and Minshew is also like pretty spry, like is he
Jalen hurts Hell No, But can he run a little
bit of read option and and pull it out of
the mess point and keep it himself and and gain
(22:56):
you know, ten fifteen yards? He can, So it would
not surprise me in the lease of Gardener Minsh who
played this game. And you know what, I still think
the Eagles win. Hey, let's look a quick thought on
America's team. How about them Lions. Look what they're doing.
I love it. I love it, um no, I love them.
(23:18):
On the money line this week, Uh, they're playing the Panthers.
It's only two and a half. They've won three straight
on the road. They now win games outside of the
Dome situation. The defense went from giving up thirty points
a game and the first eight nine weeks of the
season to twenty since. Um, they're super stout against the
(23:39):
run and that's all the Panthers can do is run
the ball Like I mean, nobody's afraid of Sam Donald.
I think they win this game going away. Uh. Look,
the Lions to me, at worst the fourth best team
in the NFC and maybe the third. Like if the
Lions played the forty nine on a neutral site game,
(24:00):
Brock Purdy, I think the Lions could beat them, and
I think the Jacks are the same way. Like the
Jags may win that division, they may not. They could
still maybe get in as a wall card, but like
if the Jags get in the way, Trevor Lawrence is
playing the last six weeks. Trevor Lawrence has the best
passer rating in the NFL, and Christian Kirk is the
(24:24):
top ten receiver this season in terms of yardage and
Evan Ingram is the top six tight end this season
in terms of yardage and say Jones the last six
weeks is the top six receiver himself. Like they've got
something going on. And those two teams, I think are
are a little bit frisky and if they get in,
(24:45):
and I think at least one of them will get
in and maybe both, they're gonna be a bit of
a handful. You're the man, Jason. I know you're busy.
We appreciate the time. Appreciate it. Have a great night,
Jason lacking for I literally could sit here and talk
to that dude all night. Be sure to catch live
(25:05):
editions of The Jason Smith Show with Mike harmon weekdays
at ten pm Eastern, seven pm Pacific. A lot happened
during that commercial break in this Monday night football game.
Aren't You're costing me tons of money? I wanted to
bet it, and then you're like, well, you got that
one wrong. You jinked him. I'm like, God, I better
not bet it, but you did you you you jinked
him and they got the ball back. It was kind
(25:28):
of funny, as soon as we make fun of Arnie
being a mush It's twelve Green Bay. The Rams have
the football in their own end, deep in their own
end zone, and Baker Mayfield throws a pick literally two
seconds after Arnie said the Rams are gonna come back
and win this game. And then as we go to
commercial break, Aaron Jones in a play that I gotta
(25:52):
be honest with you, I don't know how they didn't
decide that his forward progress wasn't stopped as he was
going to the ground. Um, they ripped the ball out,
forced to fumble, and the Rams get the football back.
So a ten thirteen to go, second down at six
Rams twelve point game. I don't know if I'm trying
to will this game to be better because we're on
(26:13):
the air during it, or if it is Chris on
the interception though, the one that you described by being Mayfield, Um,
did you see him pitch the ball? Out of all
days you're gonna pitch the ball today, I don't know
if you saw the interception. No, I didn't miss that.
He pitched the ball and it went bouncing like fifteen
yards backwards, but it didn't whoever he was pitching, dude
(26:34):
didn't catch it and it bounced like once or twice
on the on the turf. And then that is one
hell of a lead in Arnie Spanier because as we
come to you tonight from the tire rack dot Com studios,
yesterday was one of the wildest finishes that anyone has
ever seen in the history of the National Football League.
And we've got you covered from every Are they gonna
(26:57):
throw a flag on that? Yeah? Already? The pick is
still a lot pass interference. Anyway, We've got you covered
from every single angle, and let's start with the Patriots
side of things. I'm sure this will be a measured,
non frustrated response from the Patriots. Late in the game.
Tie game, Raiders rallied with a late touchdown past to
(27:17):
Keelan Cole who was obviously in bounds, and then down
a third and ten three seconds left, Jones will give
it to Stephen Sady started. Everybody runs it up the middle,
hit by Chandler, Jones slips and head across the forty
five with a step farm off at tackle of the
forty he lost a football and Jacob me Meyers picks
it up. He circles back and he throws it a
class the field. Oh my god, just pick up Jamer Jones.
He creaks away to the thirty. He ruds to the twenty.
(27:40):
He runs to the Ted here run to the apsodes
what real punch down craters and like this might be
one of the dumbest teams I've ever seen. A victory
for Las Vegas. Scott Zolac bless is hard. He had
(28:05):
a rough day. Meanwhile, how about my guy Jason Horowitz,
our buddy Lincoln Kennedy on the Raiders Radio Network. I'm
and by the way, for a team that just got
their souls ripped out, I gotta give credit to the
Patriots played by play guy. He actually had the right
lovel of excitement. If that was happening to my team,
I would have sounded like Scott zo Zola Oh no, no, no, no, no,
(28:30):
are you bleeping kidding me? I will say though, it
was kind of funny because I pulled the dad you know,
I stand like two inches from the TV watching the
game with my arms crossed, and I started yelling at
my kids, get in here. You're not good, good in here?
Here was here was the radio Raiders Radio Network on
the call, it sounded like Jones hands it off on
(28:51):
a Toronto or Montre Stevenson breaks out of a tackle
at the fifty has the forty five breaks away from
another tackle, pitches it backwards and now Jacobe Meyers around.
He throws it to Tandler Jones and midfield step food.
Tandler Jones race it towards the head zone goes, Oh
(29:11):
my goodness, Oh my goodness, I can't believe what I
just saw. I can't believe what I just saw. This
is unbelieve I get me done. Wow. On the first
night of on the Cart it's America Laws Vegas, not
(29:32):
on the first night of Hanka. And I really believe this, Chris,
I'm not making this up. I really believe I could
have made a better attempt at tackling Uh than than
mac Jones. I at least would have grabbed onto his leg,
like um, oh my goodness, I forgot his name, the
old coach of the Knicks, Japan Gundy, Yes, very Gundy.
I would have just grabbed onto his leg at least
a little. You know, you're not gonna get away. Somebody's
(29:54):
gonna help me drag you down. You can't score here.
By the way, why was he laying on the ground.
It seemed like mac Jones was laying on the ground
or something like that, or I don't know. It's a
great question. I think he was trying to tackle him
and he was falling backwards and I don't know, Chandler
Jones just baptized his ass. I will say my favorite
thing from that play that nobody talks about is if
(30:15):
you watch in the background Max Crosby laying out Jacoby was.
I mean, there's just so many little things every time
you watch that you that you pick up. But at
the bottom line, as crazy as anything we've ever seen.
All Right, when we come back to the tire rack
dot Com studios, the latest on Jalen Hurts, it's already
in Plank on Fox Sports Radio.

(00:23):
listening to Fox Sports Radio. Oh, let's go, speak genius,
go big boy, let's go. You notice what I did
in promoting the show tonight? I was no, I have
no idea what you did. I mean, God's well, first
of all, we need to have a little Twitter conversation
with our man, Arnie span Your of course, Alex tie
(00:44):
shirt is in the house. Uh look look Burr singer
in the studio. Let's go wow. And uh so, Arnie,
I think this is still the case, uh ty shirt.
If I'm in Craig tell me. But when you sent
out the initial tweet about us being on in prime
time tonight, baby, if you consider uh the Devil's time
(01:07):
zone Pacific time zone, not really, you're not really prime
Todd's two in the morning when I get off the air.
But go ahead. He never listens to me. You got
if you consider Pacific time zone, it's prime time, Artie Spaniard,
Come on, uh. When you tweet and the first thing
you do is at someone, you only reach out to
the people that follow you and me, you don't reach
(01:29):
out to everybody. That's why, Yes, well in there? How
do I put your names in there? If I don't
put at well, you do it. But it's not the
first thing you put in your tweets. You do this.
This is what happens when you tweet two hours before
we go on the air. Arnie, did you not find
a kind of odd that it only had like one
comment on it so far? I mean usually where oh
(01:52):
I see so if I like to do a sentence
first that goes by EXA, I'm such a dope. I
didn't know that. That's just everybody today. What's going on?
It's like, did did Chasing Advike scare everybody off? What's
going on here? We got a lot of work to
do tonight, man. Arnie and I are blessed to be
a part of the weekend line up here. You can
(02:14):
hear us every Sunday night pretty much the same time slot,
except we get a bonus hour. Now it's your choice
either that bonus hour is this hour, right yeah, or
as we come to you alive from the tire rack
dot Com studios tire rack dot com. Well up, you
get there and unmatched selection, fast free shipping, free road
hatchard protection and over ten thousand recommended installers tire rack
(02:35):
dot Com. The way tire buying should be that bonus
hour can be the last hour you Arnie Span your
are a firm believer that the bonus hour is the
final hour of the show. Correct, absolutely, power our third hour,
bonus hour of the fourth hour. Have all these rules.
I have a friend of mine that has these rules
about when it's officially hump Day, Like you're not you're
not officially over the hump on hump Day until it's
(02:57):
after lunch. It's like, you can't call it hump day.
It's not truly the weekend until it's five o'clock on Friday.
I'm like, okay, I feel like you can start it
whenever you want and say and then Sunday apparently it's
not the start of the arts, the start of the
work week as soon as the red Zone channel comes
to it. And though I kind of agree with them
(03:18):
on that. Uh, but we get a chance hang on Sundays.
So if you caught us last night, hey, kudos for
finding us again tonight. We're pumped to recap Week fifteen.
Got a lot of NFL content over the next four
hours of the program, but we got two major stories
that are stealing headlines right now. The green Bay Packers,
(03:38):
as you just heard at the top of the hour
of taking the up, taking the lead up to eleven
with seven fifties seven. You know, Arnie's feet is always
a little bit ahead of mine. Packers lead the Rams
seventeen to six. Uh. The Rams look like a quarterback
who's basically playing in just his what sixth quarter with
the seventh fool quarter coming up? But you know, I
gotta be honest with you, kind of thought green Bay
(04:00):
would beat them worse. Maybe it starts to kind of
unleashed here a little bit, as the Rams haven't been
able to run the football. But I don't really know
what to say about this game except by no stretch
of humanity or society did we think that this takes
for this game would be this low. Whenever the preseason
schedule came out four and nine Los Angeles versus five
(04:23):
and eight Green Right, Now, a couple of things for me.
First of all, I mean, as a Dolphin fan, I'm
I'm pulling for the Rams because I want next week's game.
Green Bay did just say okay, our player folpes are
over and we're just gonna you know, roll over and wilt.
But uh win today and they still have a twelve
percent chance of it, I guess, of getting into the playoffs.
And also, you know, maybe it's me. I don't want
(04:43):
to over read this, but doesn't Baker Mayfield just look
like a I don't want to say, a whole different
new quarterback. It just has something different about him. I
can't put my finger on it. He just looks better,
um than as a time in Carolina and part of
his time in Cleveland. Just something about him just having
been a Ram uniform. Um, I really think you could
be successful for you know, a team that isn't going
(05:05):
through a bunch of growing pains like the teams he's
been on. I really can't wait to see where he
ends up next year. To be honest, he uh the
numbers wouldn't wouldn't sell you on this, right, He's only
eight of fourteen for seventy four yards. But I mean
the Rams, what did they say, fourteen different offensive line
combinations that they've had so far this season? Fourteen and
(05:26):
one of the seven head coaches or something like that. Well,
Baker has, yeah, but I mean just the Rams in
general Ronnie this season have that fourteen different I know
Arnie doesn't care about the offensive line, so that's why
he completely ignored me on it. If you could, if
you could be friends with the owner, then you're getting
the job. You can be head coached exactly, Jeff Saturday
be the coach whatever. But offensive line wise, they've had
(05:47):
fourteen different combinations. They had one of their guys go
down early. Oh and by the way, they've run the
ball for forty two yards on twelve carries. So you
know what I get it. From my perspective, I am
an unabashed Baker Mayfield believer and I've always been that way.
And part of it is the fact that I live
in Oklahoma. The other part of it is I've seen it.
(06:08):
I think there was a loss of confidence in Cleveland.
I think there was a carry over to Carolina. And again,
these numbers aren't gonna wow anybody but I just I
feel like there is Gosh is gonna sound so corny,
but I think there's something to be said about working
with somebody that truly believes in it, and I think
Sean McVeigh has has given Baker confidence. I think he
(06:31):
believes in him. I'm not here to tell you that
Baker Mayfield's gonna go when the m v P next
year or even be the ram starting quarterback. But again,
make fun of it all you want, but he's got
a guy that's kind of said, hey, go out and
let it rip. You know, I believe in you. I
loved you in the draft process. We talked for what
was this story, like three hours on a fly, and
they they just really seem to have a good relationship.
(06:53):
Now it's still not very good. They're getting their butts
kicked tonight, but in the end, I agree with you
are and it's got like a it's got like a
little more of a Baker type swag to him that
we saw early in his career. You know, Chris is
the early success even though it's limited for brock Purty
in San Francisco, I totally believe that Baker Mayfield would
have the same success up there in San Francisco. Also,
(07:14):
especially with the defense that they've got up there. Um,
you know, nothing against brock Purty, but I think he's
taken advantage of the opportunity has had. But I think
Baker Mayfield could have done that also. I I think
he could have played fantastic um behind a defense like that.
My goodness, who wouldn't be great under that? So yeah,
I think he just has to find the right situation.
He's not gonna be back with the Rams next year, No, No,
(07:36):
I don't think. I don't think he's gonna have to
find themselves someplace where he can compete as a starter.
And if it's not gonna be a garbage team out there,
can I give you one counter, Arnie, to your hopes
that the Packers would lose tonight and thus they would
be low on motivation for next week's game against the
Dolphins and only twelve percent chance to make the playoffs.
(07:56):
I think the one thing that could happen is if
they did is I think they could shut down Aaron Rodgers.
I was thinking about that, love and then then all
of a sudden, uh that they have extra incentive or
something to that fact. Well, and I know it's like
two drives, right, maybe three in the second half of
that Eagles game. But you and I were on after
(08:17):
it and we all agree that he looked really good.
So I mean again, I'm not sitting here trying to
raise any panic meters for your Packers Dolphins matchup that
you have triumphantly proclaimed the Dolphins are going to win.
But I mean again, there's been all kinds of back
and forth conversations about shutting down Aaron Rodgers. Listen, he
(08:38):
hasn't looked terrible tonight, but he sure hasn't looked good.
And I get it. Conditions are awful. Neither team has
really been able to run the football. Just sixteen hundred
sixty four yards and a really bad interception that it
was his tint of the season. But I don't know.
I think call me falling for the falling for the
girl that has the pretty Twitter bio that tells me
(08:59):
she wants to reach out to me or something. Right there,
you're she's not a bot, she's a real person. I'm
falling for it right now with Jordan love Ony. I
think that's the last thing you want to worry about
seeing next week. If you're Miamis I want to say, well,
first of all, good news. Uh, if Aaron Rodgers does play, Um,
there won't be any snow, no snow in the forecast,
uh down there in Miami. Um, Miami wasn't phased for this,
(09:21):
uh you know, for the bad weather in Buffalo. So again,
thank goodness, it's gonna be down there in Miami. Grid
Bays rolled over, you could see it. I mean, look,
I know they're winning this game, but when they face
a quality opponent, they are not going to get it done.
And that's why I think Miami's gonna win this one
pretty easily. Well, I'll tell you, um, I love your
confidence because it's sure as hell hasn't been there the
(09:43):
last few weeks with the way things have gone horrible
for the Miami Dolphins. And honestly, I'm not even all
that down on him. I think you should be pretty
high based on the way the two have looked on
Saturday Night. But we'll get to that coming up in
just a bit. He's on the Spaniard. I'm Chris Blank.
We're sitting in for Jason Smith to I and Mike
Harmon here on Fox Sports Radio. Best way to get
in touch with the shows on Twitter, at stink and
(10:04):
Genius one Ahmed Plank show everyone should be following us
At Fox Sports Radio, I mentioned there's two major stories
making headlines tonight. Esman, you're one, of course, Monday Night
football and again the Packers leaded seventeen to six with
just over five minutes ago in the third period third court.
Excuse me. The other big story Jalen Hurts. Jalen Hurts.
(10:25):
We talked about this a little bit last night and
any concern from from Eagles fans about the way that
they played. But when we when we signed off last
night at two am Eastern time, and as many of
us have pontificated and bloviated throughout the day today, there
were how many conversations that centered around concerns that Jalen
(10:46):
Hurts might be hurt after yesterday? None, zero, na a, zilch.
Then all of a sudden, some random reporter out of
no face of this guy. By the way, I thought
it was brilliant, but some random reporter says, Jalen Hurts
has a broken collar belt, and everybody freaked out, like
what broke about three o'clock, right three o'clocks Central time,
(11:06):
God's time zone? And so Everyone's like, oh, come on,
that's just crazy, and then you hear it's a sprained shoulder.
Then yere, he's gonna be out potentially next week. Then
you think beyond, and then the next thing you know,
hold on, what's going on here? One of the guys
considered in the mix, if not the favorites in some
people's eyes for the m v P has a sprain
(11:26):
to his right throwing shoulder, and his availability for Saturday
is in question. So to part through that aren't not
as bad as the original report. But in your opinion,
how bad is this news for Philadelphia going into Saturday? Well,
Vegas thought it was bad. Remember when you were reading
it was the last night you were reading the m
v P. Odds, Um, I don't know what right here?
(11:47):
What was Mahomes that plus what like one thirty Mahomes
is minus three seventy. Okay, because he was he's a
bigger favorite now from the news that went out, So
obviously Vegas said, Okay, Holmes is now gonna win the
m v P. Let's go get that. The line in
the game I believe moved from two to five and
a half, and I expect that to get close to seven.
(12:08):
To be honest with you, maybe it stops in six
and a half, doesn't go over that magic number. Um,
I'm wondering, is this gonna go back to the time
because you saw fields get hurt hurts? Um, I mean
these running quarterbacks gonna be like this a lot. Is
it gonna be like one good shot it's gonna take
him out for two, three, four games? Because, um, you
know you're gonna see start seeing some of these running
(12:30):
quarterbacks going down and that's not gonna be good for
their teams. There, Chris Arnie des m v P odds
have just absolutely shot way in favor of Patrick Mahomes. Yes,
they did to minus two seventy five at bet MGM
right now, Um minus three twenty five at points Spet
minus three oh three. It's at Caesar's, which which for
(12:50):
some reason, I'm just gonna tell you right now, every
time I look at it, I want to say Caesars.
I don't know why. It's my whole life. Draft Kings
has it at minus three fifth, but I think yesterday
you told me that he was even like plus one
thirty five or something like that. If I'm no, I've
got it right here for You're right. It was plus
one twenty the m D pods or so in the
span of and this is according to points Bet. Early
(13:12):
this afternoon, Patrick Mahomes was plus one twenty. Jalen Hurts
was minus one thirty. Since the announcement of the injury
um points bet minus one thirty for Mahomes, plus one
tin for Jalen Hurts. That's what you call a shift
in business, y'all. Be sure to catch live editions of
The Jason Smith Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten
(13:33):
pm Eastern, seven pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and
the I Heart Radio app. It's already in Plank sitting
in for Jason and Mike here on Fox Sports Radio.
We're big on first names. Well, I guess I used
my last name because Artie and Plank sounds a lot
better than saying Arnie and Chris. Yeah. Yeah, where you
go by, you have a name that that just people
will call you by the last name. Yeah, exactly. It's
(13:53):
always been the case, you know. It's weird. Is as
we come to you tonight for the entire rack dot
Com Studios and Jason lacking for uh is coming up next.
Touchdown Packers by the way O six. I thought we're
gonna get a touchdown, throwing the end zone for the Rams.
But seconds left in the third quarter, Rams down four
to six to the Packers. Ryan Burr Shinger on pins
(14:13):
and needles back in the tire Rock dot Com studios,
not as a Packers fan because he's worried about the
Rams scoring. Here he feels confident, but Arnie's in a
big fantasy matchup and he can't. He can't have Aaron
Jones scoring another touchdown. Gosh, I love fantasy so much.
But they called my son is in college now right,
they call him playing, So I'm really thrown off. Whenever
(14:37):
I'm around him and his boys. It's like, you know what,
I'm just just call me old man or something. Just
call me. By the way, time out, thirty six seconds
left in the third quarter. Packers lead the Rams to six.
Jason lock and Ford joins us foremost insider in the
National Football League. He knows his music, he knows his NFL. Well,
(14:59):
you think of the night. I mean, obviously this is
the massive matchup we all expected between the Layers and
the Packers. Jason but ugly right, I mean, he's the
only way we can put it. This hasn't This hasn't
been a thing of beauty. No, No, it hasn't. Um
And I don't know that anybody really expected to be
if you've watched these teams with any regularity. But it
could get a little frisky here in the fourth quarter.
(15:20):
I mean, we'll see what the Rams do with this drive. Um.
I liked the over I liked the Rams to be
able to keep this within seven and a half. And
you know, the odds might be against the ladder of
those two things. Um, but I don't know, man, Like
(15:41):
I feel like McVeigh, like they're out there in Green Bay.
It hasn't been the season that anybody expected it to be.
Nobody thought Baker Mayfield would be their starting quarter a
week before Christmas, right, Like, who the hell saw that coming? Uh?
If they do get a touchdown here, it wouldn't shocked
me if he went for a two point conversion, if
(16:02):
they if they kind of you know, got a little
balls in the fourth quarter. So we'll see. Yeah, you know, Jason,
I thought this game could have been historic. And in
the terms of if Green Bay loses, they're pretty much
then completely out of the playoffs. Are like a point
two percent or something like that. They've ben j Aaron
Rodgers and they're probably the last time. Yeah, that's probably
the last time you ever see Aaron Rodgers take a
(16:22):
stop for the Green Bay Packers. Well, except you have
to give back like fifty five million dollars to change
hire next year, and he ain't doing that, So don't
let them pay him fifty whatever fifty five next year.
And if he backs up during love, he backs up
during love. But the bottom line is the Green Bay
Packers are going nowhere. They're they're in the ABYSS. They're
(16:45):
in the worst place you want to be in the NFL,
which is right in the middle. Because when you're in
the middle, man, you're not drafting high enough. You're not
getting the subsidy that you know, the League of Parody
provides you. And they need all those draft picks. They
got the picks they got for DeVante they've already used
(17:06):
and that still has led them to be a team
that's completely out of it. You know, by the start
of December, um, they need to play Jordan Loft. They
need to figure out what Jordan's love is and they've
got a fifth year option. They need to pick up
on Jordan's love, and even if they are stuck with
Rogers next year, which they are, they can't trade him
(17:28):
and he ain't retiring. They need to showcase Jordan's love
to try to get picks for Jordan's love, to try
to build around Aaron Rodgers while they still have to
pay Aaron Rodgers north of fifty million dollars a year
to be their quarterbacks. So I don't envy the situation
they're in, but I also have zero forgiveness for them
(17:49):
ending up in the situation that they're in because they
have acquiesced to Aaron Rodgers for two straight off seasons
and they've lost Davante Adams in the process. I know
we've got a big injury to talk about with Jalen Hurds,
and listen, Jason, I'm a banker, Homer. I live in Oklahoma.
I'm just outside of campus here, But aren't already hit
(18:12):
this earlier? I tend to agree with him. It's not
as if he's gonna go out there and throw for
three yards, but he just got he's got a little
different look to him, right, I mean it's it's it's
a little different swag. I'm not saying he's gonna start
for the Rams next year, but he just looks different. Well, look,
he was a one one and he's never gonna live
up to that and he's never going to be that good.
(18:34):
And you know, the bottom line is John Dorsey overdrafted him.
But can he play in this league for a long time?
Can he provide a little bit of verve and a
little bit of moxie and you know in the right
locker room? Could could he be the guy for some
(18:55):
period of time? I think so. I tend to think
called bounce around a little bit. I tend to think
he's already a bit of a football vagabond, and I
think that's kind of gonna be his thing. But like,
could there be a year, like some year for him
he's only twenty seven, like maybe his year thirty season,
(19:15):
his year thirty one season where he ends up in
the right place at the right time, right and he
was like a Nick Foles thing. He was brought in
to be the backup, but the starter gets hurt in
week twelve or week thirteen, and it's a it's a
great situation, Like it's a master play caller, it's a quarterback.
Since a guru type who's the head coach and they
(19:36):
have a bleep load of offensive talent, and like he
messes around and wins the Super Bowl, like Folds won
the Super Bowl. Like, I don't think that's out of
the question. He's going to be in the league for
a long time and a certain sort of pedigreed offensive
coordinator will be drawn to him. Um, And I do
think he will probably have a moment where he does
(19:59):
something thing that we didn't think was possible. Yeah, no doubt.
Like we gotta ask you about the ending of the
Las Vegas, New England game. I mean, I feel like
I gotta call up Joe Pisarchik to say, you're off
the hook. Now we've probably got to play. That's that's
the worst crazy, Yeah, it is. It is. Um, I'd
love to be able to blame Patricia for this. And
(20:21):
and actually I still kind of do. Like I I
know he didn't draw it up that way, but like
him standing there with the pencil behind his ear, you know,
calling up plays to nowhere. It's it's pretty pathetic. But no,
this is on Jacobe Meyers. I mean, I I don't
know what he was thinking. I don't think he knows
(20:42):
what he was thinking. Um, it's it's baffling. It's baffling
all the way around. Like that's something you do when
you're down by six or seven or eight points. It's
not even in the realm of conversation when you're tied
and you've been the better team for most of the
(21:04):
second half and a man, I don't know, but there's
you know, Belichick's got to own it, and Patricia has
got to own it, and Jacoby Myers has got to
own it, and it might be enough to keep them
out of the playoffs. I mean, I'm not really buying
the Jets right now either, but one of those two
(21:29):
teams is probably gonna make it, or you know, maybe
the Chargers keep them both out. I don't know how
the the MAT's gonna work out in the a f C.
But that's tragic that that's a football tragedy. Like you
gotta be better than that. Hey, Jason, what do we
know about the severity of the Jalen Hurts injury? How
(21:51):
concerned are you for him right now? Yeah? I mean
they're they're going to have a decision to make here
because there are three games up over the Cowboys and
they're playing the long game him and they're in good
stead to get the buye you know, no matter what
happens in this game for the most part, So it
wouldn't And and dude, you could do a hell of
(22:13):
a lot worse than Gardner Minshew as your quarterback, like hell,
has your backup a hell of a lot worse. So
it would not shock me if they aired on the
conservative side and said, look, we we've we've had this
former starter with us for the last two years and
(22:34):
we have you know, Davante Smith and a j and
they're getting got her back and they have h Sanders
and Minshew is also like pretty spry, like is he
Jalen hurts Hell No, But can he run a little
bit of read option and and pull it out of
the mess point and keep it himself and and gain
(22:56):
you know, ten fifteen yards? He can, So it would
not surprise me in the lease of Gardener Minsh who
played this game. And you know what, I still think
the Eagles win. Hey, let's look a quick thought on
America's team. How about them Lions. Look what they're doing.
I love it. I love it, um no, I love them.
(23:18):
On the money line this week, Uh, they're playing the Panthers.
It's only two and a half. They've won three straight
on the road. They now win games outside of the
Dome situation. The defense went from giving up thirty points
a game and the first eight nine weeks of the
season to twenty since. Um, they're super stout against the
(23:39):
run and that's all the Panthers can do is run
the ball Like I mean, nobody's afraid of Sam Donald.
I think they win this game going away. Uh. Look,
the Lions to me, at worst the fourth best team
in the NFC and maybe the third. Like if the
Lions played the forty nine on a neutral site game,
(24:00):
Brock Purdy, I think the Lions could beat them, and
I think the Jacks are the same way. Like the
Jags may win that division, they may not. They could
still maybe get in as a wall card, but like
if the Jags get in the way, Trevor Lawrence is
playing the last six weeks. Trevor Lawrence has the best
passer rating in the NFL, and Christian Kirk is the
(24:24):
top ten receiver this season in terms of yardage and
Evan Ingram is the top six tight end this season
in terms of yardage and say Jones the last six
weeks is the top six receiver himself. Like they've got
something going on. And those two teams, I think are
are a little bit frisky and if they get in,
(24:45):
and I think at least one of them will get
in and maybe both, they're gonna be a bit of
a handful. You're the man, Jason. I know you're busy.
We appreciate the time. Appreciate it. Have a great night,
Jason lacking for I literally could sit here and talk
to that dude all night. Be sure to catch live
(25:05):
editions of The Jason Smith Show with Mike harmon weekdays
at ten pm Eastern, seven pm Pacific. A lot happened
during that commercial break in this Monday night football game.
Aren't You're costing me tons of money? I wanted to
bet it, and then you're like, well, you got that
one wrong. You jinked him. I'm like, God, I better
not bet it, but you did you you you jinked
him and they got the ball back. It was kind
(25:28):
of funny, as soon as we make fun of Arnie
being a mush It's twelve Green Bay. The Rams have
the football in their own end, deep in their own
end zone, and Baker Mayfield throws a pick literally two
seconds after Arnie said the Rams are gonna come back
and win this game. And then as we go to
commercial break, Aaron Jones in a play that I gotta
(25:52):
be honest with you, I don't know how they didn't
decide that his forward progress wasn't stopped as he was
going to the ground. Um, they ripped the ball out,
forced to fumble, and the Rams get the football back.
So a ten thirteen to go, second down at six
Rams twelve point game. I don't know if I'm trying
to will this game to be better because we're on
(26:13):
the air during it, or if it is Chris on
the interception though, the one that you described by being Mayfield, Um,
did you see him pitch the ball? Out of all
days you're gonna pitch the ball today, I don't know
if you saw the interception. No, I didn't miss that.
He pitched the ball and it went bouncing like fifteen
yards backwards, but it didn't whoever he was pitching, dude
(26:34):
didn't catch it and it bounced like once or twice
on the on the turf. And then that is one
hell of a lead in Arnie Spanier because as we
come to you tonight from the tire rack dot Com studios,
yesterday was one of the wildest finishes that anyone has
ever seen in the history of the National Football League.
And we've got you covered from every Are they gonna
(26:57):
throw a flag on that? Yeah? Already? The pick is
still a lot pass interference. Anyway, We've got you covered
from every single angle, and let's start with the Patriots
side of things. I'm sure this will be a measured,
non frustrated response from the Patriots. Late in the game.
Tie game, Raiders rallied with a late touchdown past to
(27:17):
Keelan Cole who was obviously in bounds, and then down
a third and ten three seconds left, Jones will give
it to Stephen Sady started. Everybody runs it up the middle,
hit by Chandler, Jones slips and head across the forty
five with a step farm off at tackle of the
forty he lost a football and Jacob me Meyers picks
it up. He circles back and he throws it a
class the field. Oh my god, just pick up Jamer Jones.
He creaks away to the thirty. He ruds to the twenty.
(27:40):
He runs to the Ted here run to the apsodes
what real punch down craters and like this might be
one of the dumbest teams I've ever seen. A victory
for Las Vegas. Scott Zolac bless is hard. He had
(28:05):
a rough day. Meanwhile, how about my guy Jason Horowitz,
our buddy Lincoln Kennedy on the Raiders Radio Network. I'm
and by the way, for a team that just got
their souls ripped out, I gotta give credit to the
Patriots played by play guy. He actually had the right
lovel of excitement. If that was happening to my team,
I would have sounded like Scott zo Zola Oh no, no, no, no, no,
(28:30):
are you bleeping kidding me? I will say though, it
was kind of funny because I pulled the dad you know,
I stand like two inches from the TV watching the
game with my arms crossed, and I started yelling at
my kids, get in here. You're not good, good in here?
Here was here was the radio Raiders Radio Network on
the call, it sounded like Jones hands it off on
(28:51):
a Toronto or Montre Stevenson breaks out of a tackle
at the fifty has the forty five breaks away from
another tackle, pitches it backwards and now Jacobe Meyers around.
He throws it to Tandler Jones and midfield step food.
Tandler Jones race it towards the head zone goes, Oh
(29:11):
my goodness, Oh my goodness, I can't believe what I
just saw. I can't believe what I just saw. This
is unbelieve I get me done. Wow. On the first
night of on the Cart it's America Laws Vegas, not
(29:32):
on the first night of Hanka. And I really believe this, Chris,
I'm not making this up. I really believe I could
have made a better attempt at tackling Uh than than
mac Jones. I at least would have grabbed onto his leg,
like um, oh my goodness, I forgot his name, the
old coach of the Knicks, Japan Gundy, Yes, very Gundy.
I would have just grabbed onto his leg at least
a little. You know, you're not gonna get away. Somebody's
(29:54):
gonna help me drag you down. You can't score here.
By the way, why was he laying on the ground.
It seemed like mac Jones was laying on the ground
or something like that, or I don't know. It's a
great question. I think he was trying to tackle him
and he was falling backwards and I don't know, Chandler
Jones just baptized his ass. I will say my favorite
thing from that play that nobody talks about is if
(30:15):
you watch in the background Max Crosby laying out Jacoby was.
I mean, there's just so many little things every time
you watch that you that you pick up. But at
the bottom line, as crazy as anything we've ever seen.
All Right, when we come back to the tire rack
dot Com studios, the latest on Jalen Hurts, it's already
in Plank on Fox Sports Radio.
