(01:10):
Tonight was the night I decided I'm not gonna play
aj Dillon anymore in fantasy I'm not gonna start any stinks.
It doesn't matter. He's at the backfield to himself. He
doesn't have the back door. It doesn't matter. AJ Dillon
has just gone in from a couple of yards out
for a touchdown, extra point pending to tie this game,
Green Bay and Vegas at ten apiece. AJ Dillon, see
(01:31):
just what you want to give up on it? I'm done?
Oh here he is, back to fantasy relevance.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Fourteen carries, sixty two yards and the goal line.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Plunge, extra point pending ten to nine, eight and a
half to go in the third quarter. This setup shocker, shocker,
I know, sit down. This was set up by a
Jimmy Garoppolo interception. So's terrible. It was looking for Jacoby Myers,
who has had who has had a really nice night
so far, did not did not see the dB who
(02:02):
just I'm just jump right in front of the ball.
That's like there's four guys around the pass. Garoppolo a
bad ball. Ford picks it off and sets up the
Packers deep in Vegas Raiders territory. A couple of couple
of I would say, two first downs later, sod. They
go for it on fourth down, and they went for
it on fourth down to get it, and we were
(02:23):
coming in the big change over here with us in
a cup, and they went on fourth and two. I
went on fourth and two and got it. And now
the game is tied. Nobody's really playing very well. So
it is not a great game, but not playing well.
And that was it.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Four didn't catch it. Somebody else would. Yeah, oh you know,
like you were always told it's like stop milking it.
You didn't do it. Some other loser would have waits.
So yeah, because that's a Nelson Muns, Yeah, I think
that is. But yeah, so ten ten, ten ten.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
That's about where we are right now. Jordan Love is
not playing well. Jimmyolo not Jimmy Garoppolo's playing all right.
Neither team is really running the ball great. This is
one of those Hey, it's a Monday night game. That's
kind of where it is right now. Ey, it's Monday night.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
But he con comes down. It ain't Bears Commanders, that's
for sure. With all the points on the board, Bears
commanders everybody.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
That was fun.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Yeah, it was fun. I celebrate. I'm wearing a Bear's hat.
You are you very so I would wear it too.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
How many How many victory Mondays are both you and
I going to have on the same next week?
Speaker 2 (03:27):
How many they're playing? We played the Eagles next week,
so I don't know. Justin Jefferson, No, I mean it's.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Sure, yeah in Man, Yeah, i'd like to think so.
But we've never beaten the Eagles and I don't see
that changing. So we have that, but we have the Broncos. Yesterday.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
That was exciting for a million reasons. Sorry, I celebrated
your your squad truly embracing the anti Oh yeah, it
was awesome. Everybody was a Jets fan yesterday. Everybody was
a Jets fan.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
You know, as much as I don't like this loudmouth
team from New York because a guy's like Jason Smith,
I really want them to beat the crap out of
the Broncos.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
But I mean roberta saying, hey, stay humble to Sean Payton.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
How great is that? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (04:14):
I mean that's like giving him v F five Give
a brock Now, I just.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Want to say, so so, insulting the coach who was
there the year before, who is an offensive coordinator on
a team you're going to play, Insulting the team he
coaches for that. They're looking out for glory. They try
to win the off season. I just want to look
at that now and go, how did that play out
for you, Sean Payton? How did that play out for?
(04:40):
That play out?
Speaker 3 (04:40):
Really? Well?
Speaker 1 (04:41):
You excited, you excited, You ran your mouth and insulted
the Jets and insulted Nathaniel Hackett. Meanwhile, you're just as
big a train wreck as the team was last year.
How do you feel about how did that work out
for you? Sean Payton? Now that worked AC should be
lesson number one, the only one you need. This is
why coaches don't talk about other teams before the season.
But you would.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
You would argue, and I certainly am gonna argue that
this is a million times worse because you know what
by showing up, you know, once upon a time you
were the young super genius of the league, and you're
gonna fix Russ. Not all Russ's fault again, he was
setting Russ up as the fall gag. Yeah, but in
the end, I would say this is infinitely worse because
(05:20):
there were expectations that you were gonna turn this thing around.
Oh yeah, oh it's gonna and you haven't had the gut.
It's gonna happen to fire vance jokes, iph, You're gonna happen.
It's gonna watch watch to.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Admit that that's been a failure and move on. Get
ready because here comes the Tankathon for the Broncos. Here,
Oh sure, Tankathon. Jerry Judy gone, other players gone.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Well, they're gonna gut whatever value is on the defensive side.
They got rid of Gregory to start. Gone, and they'll
go through.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Back back, back, back back gone. Oh nicely gone, back
back back. And I'll tell you this, why not, I'll
start this fun Bowl prediction by the middle ish to
the end of the season. Russell Wilson's gonna get benched
because they are dude. Look, you know they're starting over.
And even though Russell Wilson's not terrible, right, Russell Wilson
is actually is having a notion. It's a pretty horrible moment.
(06:10):
But on the whole, he's been better, he's been he's
been fixed him a little bit, right, he's actually they're
putting some points on the board. Look, his numbers look good.
Eleven touchdowns, two picks. I mean he's not turning the ball.
I mean, well, you didn't have the football, but no, no,
but there.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
But that's not the thing though, right because I saw
people doing the lazy comparison of this quarterback to this
quarterback and and a bunch of Russell Wilson to a
bunch of guys, and they're like, well, his numbers are better.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Than he's like, yes, but they're empty stats. Yeah, yeah,
like you put.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Up some decent numbers when the Dolphins are clubbing you. Yeah,
and their defensive backs are just like, all right, here's
your eight yard cushion and you complete those passes in
front of him.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
But look, it's not but it's terrible where it's not
where it's not dysfunctional. And the Broncos are a teardown.
They're gonna be in tank mode for a quarterback. It's
not just tank for Caleb because now there's three, four
or five guys will go in the first round, right,
I mean I want to get into Quinn youwers a
little bit, because boy, he was fantastic on satur even
though Texas lost. But now they're gonna tank. And Russell
(07:16):
Wilson's salary is guaranteed for thirty seven million against seventy
Shut up, thirty seven million for injury next year, So
you know they're not gonna do that if he's washed
and they're starting over, and he's gonna follow in that
Aaron Rodgers footsteps of do I need to do something
creative with my contract so I can get traded to
a team that's gonna make me a starter and is
(07:38):
gonna keep me around. So and it'll be one bad
year for the Broncos with dead cap money unless they
get him to restructure a little bit to help both
teams with which, look, if Aaron Rodgers contract got worked out,
Russell Wilson's contract can get worked out. But that's the
big thing thirty seven million do. And maybe Russell Wilson
says something simple as no, let's figure it out. Let's
do this, Let's do X, Y and Z. We'll push
(07:59):
the bonus, we'll push the money. Something can happen to
make that. But he's gonna wind up hitting the bench
and it's gonna be obvious his future is not there.
Because you're gonna believe in Sean Payton or Russell Wilson.
Someone's gonna get the blame for this season, and you
can't go into next year saying hey, no, Sewan and
Russ got to figure out no, no, it's a teardown.
It's a new quarterback. It's the only way Sean Payton
(08:21):
wins by saying, give me a new quarterback and let's
go from there, because look, I made Russ into what
is good, but this is about as good as he
can be. But they don't want to have to worry
about anything where they're on the hook with Russell Wilson
for next year. It'll be one bad year money wise,
but they'll have a new quarterback, so it'll be fine.
Not like you're going out in free agency and spending
a quarterback and that's how it's gonna go, and he's
gonna hit the bench and it's gonna be Russell Wilson
(08:41):
on a new team next year. Just watch the curiosity
with Wilson.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
And this goes back to the conversation we started about
Daniel Jones, who at this point is basically a pinata.
I mean, you want to talk about horrible offensive line play,
I'd like to show, uh, mister Neil a rough cut
of what came together. I don't need to do all
the bells and whistles and sound effects and all. Here's
the rough cut from the dailies. Tell me what you see.
(09:07):
I like the story today where hey, he could place
on it? Why why why would you? Why? Why are
you playing it? He's stuck the offensive line states but
why why?
Speaker 4 (09:17):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (09:18):
I'm more and more taking the more of the blame
pie on the offensive line and the fact that well
they have to try to run things out without Barkley.
But to the Russell Wilson side of things, and again
it goes to contracts and who's taking that on and
who still believes that he's the solution. Right, That's the
biggest thing going forward with the teams that are competitive
(09:43):
Russell Wilson, who does he solve problems for? And we're
only in a week five, so that'll become more and
more clear of which might be able to be hoodwinked
into making a move. But you're looking at an eighty
five million dollars dead ca. He's got a huge salary.
What is a thirty five to four who's taking on
(10:07):
a bunch of Like I said, the money, he'll work out.
The work out the money. If he's gonna start somewhere,
I'll work out.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
You want Russell Wilson as much as you would have wanted.
Aaron Rodgers is, well, you're not. You're not giving up
as much for him. You're not. You're not saying, here's
a second round pick that could be your first round
pick and another second round pick. It's gonna be.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
Here's if I'm if I'm in a bad spot and
then I'm in a bad way with my roster, I'm
bringing him in.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Well, that depends how bad you are. Are you bad
when you're starting over?
Speaker 4 (10:33):
No?
Speaker 1 (10:34):
But are you bad where? Hey, we're competing, and maybe
Russ works in our team to want to figure it out,
be a playoff team, and maybe Russ Wilson can can
can get a new start and be better in the
second check. Yeah, I got to table. I was supposed
to fix it now, and it's not gonna You're not
gonna be on the hook for a long deal because
that that contract would be out and you get out
of it after next you go hang out with Belichick.
Yeah he could.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Oh can you imagine Russell kidding? Point, they're gonna get
other problem. Three quarterbacks coming into the league. We'll solve
each other's problems.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Don't you worry. Shake my hand. I'll have to hear you.
He sounded like the Shadow Man, the We're gonna make
a deal with the Devil. We're gonna that devil deal
is happening right now. So, uh, that's kind of where
things are football wise now. Baseball wise, we got a thing. Yeah,
maybe every game now, the Diamondbacks just gonna hit Dodgers
(11:25):
pitching in the first inning. They get three in the
first inning off of Bobby Miller, who throws fifty pitches.
He is now out of the game. Diamondbacks are gonna
take a huge two to zero lead in this series. Meanwhile,
the Phillies and the Braids, and I realized, you know
how I say, I don't you know, one of these
teams is gonna lose. So I'm okay with that. The
Phillies or the Braves are going to lose. So I'm
(11:45):
okay with that because one of them is gonna lose.
One I is gonna lose. You gotta tell yourself you're
okay with that. Yeah, So I am. And I'm okay
because I know one of them is gonna lose. But
on the final play of the game, I realize, you know, yeah,
I'm I'm I'm I'm rooting for the Phillies. Like, if
I have to pitch, I'm rooting for the film if
I have to. If I have to pick, because I
wanted I wanted Bryce Harper to score. I wanted the
(12:06):
Phillies to win this game, and like I really I
realized who I was rooting for. But then it didn't happen,
and I have to realize I have to go back
and now just realize that, Okay, some team is going
to lose. That's how it's gonna go.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Yeah, I mean I figured you would, even though you
had your run ins verbally, i e. You ranting on
the radio against as you called him, Bieber Harper all
those years ago. I think there's now that you hate
to admit that you respect the player that he's grown
into and the guy that he is. Right all the
(12:37):
incidents of him with fans and everything, like, there's a
lot of good there, and I think it kind of
ticks you off, but by the same token, there's an appreciation.
And since the Braves kind of ran away and hid them,
losing would be good. And it would also be good
I think for baseball, because you know in the NFL,
whenever something happens to a superstar, you get rules changes, yeah,
(13:01):
maybe the Braves losing, we'd change the rules. Man, you
don't play the best team in the next round, you
don't get five or six days off before you play
a game.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
I'll worry about that after this, though. I gotta take
care of this and make sure an NL's team doesn't
win the World Series again. So I just gotta take
care of this r all right. But I did realize all.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Of that energy gets and channeled back into there.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
So that's where we sit right now. Yes, the Braves
throw Bryce Harper out on a flyout to center field
trying to get back to first base, and they overcome
a four to nothing deficit to win that game and
tie that series up at one apiece, five to four.
We'll have more baseball. We have more breakdown coming up.
More from the NFL. The Packers are in the gold
zone again, trying to go up on the Raiders. But
(13:43):
coming up next, Jason locking Forest stops by Odyssey Washington
Post NFL Insider. What do we have going forward? We've
had big injuries, we have big wins, and what's next
for the Cowboys, especially after what happened yesterday? Keep it

Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven

Speaker 1 (14:08):
The Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
We'll throw him a big fat one live.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
From the tire rack dot Com studios. Uh, Jimmy Garoppolo
just threw a flea flicker ten yards downfield and into
triple coverage. I don't I don't understand. I thought he's
gonna be able to thread the needle. That should be
a sign right there. Hey, maybe Jimmy doesn't have his
fastball anymore. I mean, this is it's a flea flicker. No,
(14:33):
I'm not gonna take the big shot downfield. I'm gonna
throw a crossing pattern into three defenders. Luckily for him
and for the Raiders, it fell in complete and they
still have the football still moving inside the red zone.
So big completion, dude. Devonte Adams, Yeah, I just gotta
caught another one. Now they are in got to hear
his name a couple of times inside the eleven yard line.
(14:53):
Raiders are threatening, So now he has three catches on
the night. More on this game, but joining us now
on the hotline nobody better to break down all the
big NFL goings on from week five. Check them out
on Odyssey, Washington Post dot com. Jason lock and for it, Jay.
What's happening, buddy? How are you?
Speaker 4 (15:13):
Oh? I'm doing all right all things considered. How about
you guys?
Speaker 1 (15:16):
So so you're doing better? So I'm the first of
all I want to say, I'm sorry about the orioles.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
Oh, thank you, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
I assume Palmer is going to pitch in the next game.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
No, mcmally, you don't like this this manager who uh yeah,
I've got some issues with he just wants to start
all guys who've never pitched in the playoffs before.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Yeah, it's like you bring your guys up from single.
Speaker 4 (15:38):
Opper would be No, I mean Palmer, he's been there
to He's actually won games in the posted. Why would
we go with Gibson when we could throw Dean Kramer
out there and go three straight with somebody who's never
thrown a pitch in October? Yeah, let's do that.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
But well, Bodaker in game four that curve ball, all right? So,
uh hello, Look, in order of people not doing well,
I mean, I'm sorry about the Orioles. So let's get
another group of people not doing well. The Cowboys. Boy,
I'll tell you they went all la emotionally on that
game yesterday and make it away with it. That's all.
Dak Prescott said. We put so much into this and
they were getting there by he got mad at a
(16:15):
reporter last week. You tried to get me fired up, dude.
Speaker 4 (16:20):
I mean, look, something's never changed. I mean, same as.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
It ever was. God, I mean, they're a joke.
Speaker 4 (16:32):
They are. When they have a chance to punch down
in the white class, they do it, and they struck
their stuff, and you know, the old man gets all
fired up again and runs down in the locker room
and tells everybody how great they are and they're all
worth their money, because of course they are, because I
decided how much you make. And then you know, things
go bad and there's nine thousand excuses. And when they
(16:54):
have to face a team that has a legitimate NFL
talent a problem for them and they're very top heavy.
They kind of remind me a little bit of the
Rams teams that were challenging for Super Bowls a few
years ago, not not with that extreme you know, not
with that many best of breed players, but certainly a
roster that their stars have to really be stars. Man,
(17:17):
And the digs goes down, and like you're not going
to get super creative stuff out of the offense or
the defense, like you're you're really not like micro rexa
game or the defense is pretty average, you know, And
now vander esh has hurt again. Like it's the offensive
line not nearly what it used to be.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
There's a lot.
Speaker 4 (17:40):
You know, there's just sort of a lot of blaw there.
And McCarthy's not coaching his way out of a paper bag,
like he's not I mean the idea that like he's
got to fix something to reinvent something. It is a
very vanilla, boring offense. And the decoordinator who's gotten a
lot of flowers over the last few years. Like again,
when he's got a game record, lining up all real
place doing stuff, it's one thing. But otherwise, you know,
(18:02):
if it's you know, sitting back and playing that cover
three that you know, he and Pete Carroll and those
guys love people have some answers for that, especially when
you face real quarterbacks. So I don't know, guys, you know,
they'll they'll win, you know, games they're supposed to win
and they're not. They won't want a damn thing in
the playoffs, and then there'll be a whole nother off
season of hype and we'll get to hear about you know,
(18:25):
Trey Lance and how he's looking and all. I mean,
I can you can see the headlines coming. I mean
you can already, you know, you can, you can feel it.
But they're not going to win anything, and they're not
going to be a real contending franchise until they're run
by different people, and that ain't happening anytime soon.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
All right, let's skip back over there to Baltimore. Seven
drop passes officially lost to the Steelers, turnovers, red zone inefficially.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
That was a tough one. I went back and.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
Watched idiotic taking the decision. Yes, yeah, it's something else fumbles, Yeah,
I mean, look, it was a lot like the Colts game,
which they pretty much just gave away through the same
sort of mental and physical blunders. I mean, there's a
(19:16):
couple of sort of tried and truisms with this team
for years now. They don't have dudes who are any
good at catching the football, and they don't have dudes
or any good at rushing the passer, you know, certainly
not since they let Matt Judon go. So that just
is what it is.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
I mean.
Speaker 4 (19:33):
So now they got a young defensive coordinator who's scared
of his own shadow, who wants to sit back and
zwn it up, which was fine and it worked really
well for him last year. But they don't have Justin
Houston anymore, and they don't have Kalay's Campbell anymore, and
they haven't really replaced them with anybody. And Clowney is
awesome at getting in, you know, getting within arms distance
of the quarterback, but not actually bringing them down to
(19:53):
the ground. And so they have to start bringing five
and six in critical situations to get any pressure. And
they've been destroyed by people like Gardner Minshew and Kenny
Pickett with the game on the line in the fourth
quarter when you can't give up a big pass, and
they give up a big pass. I mean, the ball
only went one way at one place yesterday it was Pickens,
and they didn't have anybody who could stop them in
(20:14):
the second half. So they've got some personnel issues there.
You know. They give Odell Beckham sixteen million bucks. He'll
maybe play six or seven games this year at this
pace and not do a whole lot. Rashad Bateman is
just the latest and a long, long, undistinguished line of
Ravens draft first round wide receiver draft pick busts and
(20:35):
Nelson Agilor drops the football a lot because well it's
Nelson agilar You know, just google unlike Agilar if you
aren't already hipt what's going on there? So yeah, I
mean it's kind of like back to what it used
to be when you had a small, young receiver in
Marquise Brown and you had Mark Andrews and that was
(20:56):
the you know, that was their passing game. Kind of
right back there, and the honeymoon certainly over for Todd Monkin,
their new offensive coordinator. So you know, running shovel passes
for Mark Andrews in the gold to gost situations instead
of just giving it to Gus Edwards or you know
that guy Lamar Jackson has already got four rushing touchdowns.
(21:17):
So anyway, man, yeah, it was a hell of them.
I mean, people watch Harball Butcher that game, and then
that led right into Brandon Hyde sitting there and chewing
on his own lip and you know, looking like Forrest Gump.
I mean, so, yeah, it was a great day of
sports management in Baltimore.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
Jason locking for with us, Jason Spith, Mike Harmon here
on Fox Sports. Rady all right, so again in my
effort to help show you that, hey, as bad as
you have it, there's always someone who has it worse.
Let's talk about the Broncos and Sean Page and mcilson. Uh, Jay,
this looked obviously yesterday that was the final nail in
the coffin. You lose to Zach Wilson, You give up
all those yards on the ground. How much longer do they?
(21:58):
I mean, I assume they're going to start making trades.
I assume they'll sit Russell Wilson at some point so
they can potentially trade him in the off season, have
to pay him all that money that he's due to
be on the roster for injury. How do you how
do you see things going forward now the rest of
this year in Denver?
Speaker 4 (22:12):
Well? I mean, yeah, I don't know if there's a
suitor out there for Russ. I mean maybe Russ is fine,
Like Russ is not really the problem anymore, right, But if.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
You're starting over. I mean, yeah, yeah, he's.
Speaker 4 (22:24):
Gonna want to draft Callum Williams or get you know,
somebody up the top of the draft. And it's not
a great you know, Kirk Cousins is the headliner in
the free agent class. There's not a whole lot of
there there. And I think the days of blockbuster you know,
a whole bunch of blockbuster quarterback trades are kind of
over too. So yeah, I mean I guess somebody out there,
(22:45):
you know, might want Russ. But that, I mean, the
defense is just absolutely horrendous. I mean, it's it's so
far below professional grade. It's it's scary. They're making every
quarterback you know, look like Joe Montana. They don't have
pass rush, they don't have past coverage. It's pretty shameful. Yeah,
(23:12):
I mean the Jets put up thirty one points. I
think that kind of that kind of says everything. But look,
I mean they'll deal some some guys in a few
weeks at the deadline. I'm sure, you know, I would
think Cheltaton is going to try to get in the
pick acquisition business as much as he can. And yeah,
I mean I don't know who the team is, but
(23:34):
I guess it's conceivable that somebody who can't get one
of the top three quarterbacks in this draft decides to
go the Russell Wilson route. But they're just an abject
failure as a football team right now. There's just there's
there's defense just can't I mean, like this defense is
(23:56):
really I mean, his defense is making the Bears in
the Vikings defense look good, which is saying something. I mean,
how horrific they are.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
That's a victorious Bears team there, Jason locking for it
is it is might only be the only that might
be the one. But they got Minnesota this week, so
who knows. But let's go to Indianapolis for a second.
You get the contract done with with Jonathan Taylor. Zach
Moss runs a muck. But Anthony Richardson again, he's hurt.
Now we're seeing maybe a month and a half or
(24:25):
so before he's ready again. So it's the return of
Minshew mania for short term, but Richard's long term.
Speaker 5 (24:34):
Man.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
Now you've got a big problem on your hand with
a guy who's had to leave three times in five weeks.
Speaker 4 (24:39):
Yeah, I mean, it's it's absolutely, you know, troublesome and problematic.
And he has squeezed some really big time throws and
some really magnificent you know rushing place.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
In between that.
Speaker 4 (24:53):
But yeah, I mean he got banged up in over
the summer and it's basically been you know, every other
game he's played, with few games out in between, and look,
Minshew's been pretty game for them, and you know, they're
they're they're they're kind of in their own way and
an interesting team, especially in that division where you know,
(25:13):
I don't think anybody's going to run away and hide.
I mean, they don't really kind of beat themselves. You know,
they have a way of hanging around, and they made
some plays in the fourth quarter and watching them put
together some of the ball control drives they did in
the second half of that game to really kind of
ice the Titans. And that's a Titans rush defense that
(25:36):
has been really top top notch since the start of
last season. And what they did with Taylor basically a
spectator against them up front with some offensive line injuries
was pretty impressive. And Moss was running like a guy
who wants to be paid himself. So yeah, I mean,
(25:57):
these are the kind of games that they would just
absolutely give away when they had a fake football coach
last year, you know, and like they just would right,
they would have found ten different ways to lose that
game with Jeff Saturday last year. And yeah, Richardson, I
don't know if it's gonna be four weeks or whatever,
five weeks, six weeks, but they're gonna keep running the
(26:18):
ball and they'll probably keep running the ball pretty effectively
no matter who it is. And I think that's gonna
be a weird little race there. I think that thing's
gonna go. Like I think Houston's gonna hang around. I
think everybody is going to pretty much hang around. And
you know, Jacksonville's gonna have to up its efforts within
that division because they haven't been the dominant force within
(26:40):
that division that they probably should be on paper.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
He's on Twitter at Jason lock and four that is
at Jason lock and for check him out on Odyssey
Washington Post and congrats number one again one oh five
to seven in Baltimore, buddy very much. How about that?
You gottavent. We'll talk to you next week. Enjoy all right,
there go Jason looking for him now? Seven straight corners. Yeah,
those guys there, Yeah, yeah, not not not excited about
(27:05):
the Orioles though, no management, Yeah, you know.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
The The follow up questioned all the the raven stuff though,
is uh is DaCosta down in the locker room waving
at the wide receivers that got all chested within this offseason.
Here's the still of you dropping this ball. You want
to explain this to me?
Speaker 1 (27:24):
He's gonna kick Tyscher's ass too. For that music the
Tyser plays for the Orioles, Well, he did play taps,
and I think, well, it sounded like he kind of
agreed with it. So you're saying, well, no, I'm saying, well,
you're down to zip in this series. And you decide
you're you're gonna bring up people from the Elsa Gundo
team that won the Little League World Series to pitch
in this series. I don't think you're gonna win. No, No,
(27:44):
let me bring up another untested guy and put him
in his first game. Let me leave you that. Let's see,
let's see how this works. It's so crazy, it just
might work us. How the Knicks used to do things.
I got the Knicks in this.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
You just had to jam and jam the Knicks into
this conversation.

(28:32):
frozen strikes out looking to end the fifth inning with
runners on the Corners. Dodgers trail the Diamondbacks three to one,
going to the top of the sixth inning. Meanwhile, seven
minutes to go in the fourth quarter, the Packers have
the football back again deep in their own territory, trailing
the Raiders seventeen thirteen. We'll have more in both these
games coming up in a few minutes. But the biggest
(28:53):
play of this weekend that, obviously, because you see it
once in maybe more than a generation, the hey Miami
lost to Georgia Tech. Mario Crista Baal, head coach of
the Hurricanes, took all the blame today for not kneeling
on the football in the final minute. When all the
Miami Hurricanes had to do was kneel on the football,
they would have won the game. They're undefeated going into
their big showdown against North Carolina. But instead they hand
(29:16):
the football off, it's fumbled. Two plays later, Georgia Tech
is in the end zone of the next to last
play of the game. It was shocking, It was crazy,
and everywhere you went this weekend people were talking about
that play today. Crystal Ball took all the ownership for it.
Speaker 6 (29:31):
And when the drive started, it was going to be
at one fifty seven, you know, and we could burn
about one twenty seven off and then it was recalibrated.
I should have taken the time out right there at
the end, thought he could get the first down, and
you know, we talked about two hands on the ball,
but that's not good enough. Just told them to take
any in.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
That's it.
Speaker 6 (29:49):
Fumbled the ball at twenty five and they won seventy
five yards in two plays. So not going to make
an excuse for it or say you should have done
this or that. That's it. I know we should have
should have done it. You know, sometimes let's get carried
away with they just finish a game and run it.
But I should have just stepped in and said, hey,
just take any all.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
Right, So you've seen this play and heard about it
all week, and what ridiculously bad to say it was bad.
But I'm gonna tell you why. I'm gonna tell you
exactly why this happened. And when I see plays like
this happen, I'm glad when coaches get burned on it.
They hadn't kneeled on the ball all season, right, and
they've had leads in every single game right now, a
lot of them in double digit leads, but they have
bought the end of games. They don't kneel on it, right,
(30:27):
They keep running their offense. Why Because Mario Cristobal is
one of those coaches who always wants you to think,
look how smart I am. I'm always coaching, We're always
doing something. Look how we're winning this game, and I'm
able to run our offense. I'm able to get guys
reps at the end of games. We're running plays because
look how smart I am. And I hate coaches who
(30:48):
do that because they think that's coaching. Because if I'm
not doing something crazy. I'm not coaching, and I want
people to think, boy, that's a great coach. Look, he's
able to run his offense at the end of games.
Not don't have to kneel on the football. And that's
just stupid. And I love when guys like that lose.
I love it because they think they're so great. They
want people to look and say, look what a great
coach as you are. Look how smart I am. That's
(31:09):
exactly what he's wanted to do because they would have
knel on the football before, right, No need to keep right?
Why not kneeling on the football is either Nope, we
want all our games. We're gonna do it because I
want you to see how smart I am. Like when
Greg Shiana would run the whole We're gonna rush the
snap on the on the kneel done. That's the way
we do it. I want you to think, how smart
I am. This is what coaches are. And that's exactly
why Miami didn't kneel on the football because he wants
(31:31):
to be that coach and say, look, I'm the smartest
coach in the world. I want the players to know it.
I want the media to what. I want all the
fans know it. I'm smart, I do things differently. I
do things my way. That's why they lost. I'm glad
they lost.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
Well, Shiano, it was all about being a bully and
showing you the attitude, and we were gonna run you
over right till the final whistle and inflict punishment wherever
we could. In this case, I think it was just,
you know, run the ball, just run your normal offense.
Maybe he doesn't like some guys can't new quarterback sneaks.
This guy's got problems kneeling down.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
I don't know, but I gonna trick me. So I
don't know that I can. I can't really kneel. It
takes me a long time. So I'm just gonna stay.
If I could just stand, that'd be okay.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
Now what's interesting though, is I mean, did he have
a challenge flags in his pocket because dude, dude was
down before the ball came out. You go and look
at the replay, he's hits the ground and then the
guy slaps.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
The ball away. But in the it was just general principle.
You don't kneel on the football. You deserve it. That's
what we're doing.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
Well, there might have been some of that, but again,
hold on to the football right general rule of time,
and then you go play defense and make his decision
stand up.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
He'll still have to answer for it. Oh yeah, you
still let him go seventy five yards and two pas.
Speaker 2 (32:47):
But I mean that's being lost in all of this, right,
It's like all the game sevens from bullpen meltdowns or
Bill Buckner through the leg or anything else.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
You know, there was another game. Yeah, there were some
big here.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
You you hadn't given up big plays against the pass.
Yet you then give up seventy four yards on two
pass completions and you give up the game.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
There were so many chances to throw the emergency breake,
to say no, no, let's let let's do this to
stop it from it even even even past the kneeling
on the football let's not know, okay, let's and you
let you let a guy get behind you on the
next letter. Not just what you let him get by everybody.
It wasn't just what like you see that pass that
he threw, and it's like, how is the wide receiver
ahead of that? How was how was he ahead of
(33:30):
everybody on the field? How is that?
Speaker 4 (33:32):
How?
Speaker 2 (33:32):
I mean, you've got organizational failures all over the place.
So the decision to run the ball instead of kneeling terrible,
but should have been able to be covered up in
a number of spaces. But still, but that's him. Look
how I'm the smartest, I'm the smartest coach in the world,
and this is what I'm gonna do. And now he's
got to look back and go, oh man, I'm and
(33:53):
that loss. He'll think about that loss every day for
the rest of his life. Well because everybody is also
reminding him of the time that happened. Oregon, Dude, can
we go back?
Speaker 1 (34:03):
I got another show you on the PowerPoint presentation, the
smartest I'm the smartest coach in the world. I want
to show all of you, Uh, I coach with guys
like that, and and it's just I want those guys
to lose too. But when you anything, no, not everybody,
the Jets won. I'm very happy, very very happy.
Speaker 4 (34:22):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (34:22):

(01:10):
Tonight was the night I decided I'm not gonna play
aj Dillon anymore in fantasy I'm not gonna start any stinks.
It doesn't matter. He's at the backfield to himself. He
doesn't have the back door. It doesn't matter. AJ Dillon
has just gone in from a couple of yards out
for a touchdown, extra point pending to tie this game,
Green Bay and Vegas at ten apiece. AJ Dillon, see
(01:31):
just what you want to give up on it? I'm done?
Oh here he is, back to fantasy relevance.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Fourteen carries, sixty two yards and the goal line.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Plunge, extra point pending ten to nine, eight and a
half to go in the third quarter. This setup shocker, shocker,
I know, sit down. This was set up by a
Jimmy Garoppolo interception. So's terrible. It was looking for Jacoby Myers,
who has had who has had a really nice night
so far, did not did not see the dB who
(02:02):
just I'm just jump right in front of the ball.
That's like there's four guys around the pass. Garoppolo a
bad ball. Ford picks it off and sets up the
Packers deep in Vegas Raiders territory. A couple of couple
of I would say, two first downs later, sod. They
go for it on fourth down, and they went for
it on fourth down to get it, and we were
(02:23):
coming in the big change over here with us in
a cup, and they went on fourth and two. I
went on fourth and two and got it. And now
the game is tied. Nobody's really playing very well. So
it is not a great game, but not playing well.
And that was it.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Four didn't catch it. Somebody else would. Yeah, oh you know,
like you were always told it's like stop milking it.
You didn't do it. Some other loser would have waits.
So yeah, because that's a Nelson Muns, Yeah, I think
that is. But yeah, so ten ten, ten ten.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
That's about where we are right now. Jordan Love is
not playing well. Jimmyolo not Jimmy Garoppolo's playing all right.
Neither team is really running the ball great. This is
one of those Hey, it's a Monday night game. That's
kind of where it is right now. Ey, it's Monday night.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
But he con comes down. It ain't Bears Commanders, that's
for sure. With all the points on the board, Bears
commanders everybody.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
That was fun.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Yeah, it was fun. I celebrate. I'm wearing a Bear's hat.
You are you very so I would wear it too.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
How many How many victory Mondays are both you and
I going to have on the same next week?
Speaker 2 (03:27):
How many they're playing? We played the Eagles next week,
so I don't know. Justin Jefferson, No, I mean it's.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Sure, yeah in Man, Yeah, i'd like to think so.
But we've never beaten the Eagles and I don't see
that changing. So we have that, but we have the Broncos. Yesterday.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
That was exciting for a million reasons. Sorry, I celebrated
your your squad truly embracing the anti Oh yeah, it
was awesome. Everybody was a Jets fan yesterday. Everybody was
a Jets fan.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
You know, as much as I don't like this loudmouth
team from New York because a guy's like Jason Smith,
I really want them to beat the crap out of
the Broncos.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
But I mean roberta saying, hey, stay humble to Sean Payton.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
How great is that? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (04:14):
I mean that's like giving him v F five Give
a brock Now, I just.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Want to say, so so, insulting the coach who was
there the year before, who is an offensive coordinator on
a team you're going to play, Insulting the team he
coaches for that. They're looking out for glory. They try
to win the off season. I just want to look
at that now and go, how did that play out
for you, Sean Payton? How did that play out for?
(04:40):
That play out?
Speaker 3 (04:40):
Really? Well?
Speaker 1 (04:41):
You excited, you excited, You ran your mouth and insulted
the Jets and insulted Nathaniel Hackett. Meanwhile, you're just as
big a train wreck as the team was last year.
How do you feel about how did that work out
for you? Sean Payton? Now that worked AC should be
lesson number one, the only one you need. This is
why coaches don't talk about other teams before the season.
But you would.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
You would argue, and I certainly am gonna argue that
this is a million times worse because you know what
by showing up, you know, once upon a time you
were the young super genius of the league, and you're
gonna fix Russ. Not all Russ's fault again, he was
setting Russ up as the fall gag. Yeah, but in
the end, I would say this is infinitely worse because
(05:20):
there were expectations that you were gonna turn this thing around.
Oh yeah, oh it's gonna and you haven't had the gut.
It's gonna happen to fire vance jokes, iph, You're gonna happen.
It's gonna watch watch to.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Admit that that's been a failure and move on. Get
ready because here comes the Tankathon for the Broncos. Here,
Oh sure, Tankathon. Jerry Judy gone, other players gone.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Well, they're gonna gut whatever value is on the defensive side.
They got rid of Gregory to start. Gone, and they'll
go through.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Back back, back, back back gone. Oh nicely gone, back
back back. And I'll tell you this, why not, I'll
start this fun Bowl prediction by the middle ish to
the end of the season. Russell Wilson's gonna get benched
because they are dude. Look, you know they're starting over.
And even though Russell Wilson's not terrible, right, Russell Wilson
is actually is having a notion. It's a pretty horrible moment.
(06:10):
But on the whole, he's been better, he's been he's
been fixed him a little bit, right, he's actually they're
putting some points on the board. Look, his numbers look good.
Eleven touchdowns, two picks. I mean he's not turning the ball.
I mean, well, you didn't have the football, but no, no,
but there.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
But that's not the thing though, right because I saw
people doing the lazy comparison of this quarterback to this
quarterback and and a bunch of Russell Wilson to a
bunch of guys, and they're like, well, his numbers are better.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Than he's like, yes, but they're empty stats. Yeah, yeah,
like you put.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Up some decent numbers when the Dolphins are clubbing you. Yeah,
and their defensive backs are just like, all right, here's
your eight yard cushion and you complete those passes in
front of him.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
But look, it's not but it's terrible where it's not
where it's not dysfunctional. And the Broncos are a teardown.
They're gonna be in tank mode for a quarterback. It's
not just tank for Caleb because now there's three, four
or five guys will go in the first round, right,
I mean I want to get into Quinn youwers a
little bit, because boy, he was fantastic on satur even
though Texas lost. But now they're gonna tank. And Russell
(07:16):
Wilson's salary is guaranteed for thirty seven million against seventy
Shut up, thirty seven million for injury next year, So
you know they're not gonna do that if he's washed
and they're starting over, and he's gonna follow in that
Aaron Rodgers footsteps of do I need to do something
creative with my contract so I can get traded to
a team that's gonna make me a starter and is
(07:38):
gonna keep me around. So and it'll be one bad
year for the Broncos with dead cap money unless they
get him to restructure a little bit to help both
teams with which, look, if Aaron Rodgers contract got worked out,
Russell Wilson's contract can get worked out. But that's the
big thing thirty seven million do. And maybe Russell Wilson
says something simple as no, let's figure it out. Let's
do this, Let's do X, Y and Z. We'll push
(07:59):
the bonus, we'll push the money. Something can happen to
make that. But he's gonna wind up hitting the bench
and it's gonna be obvious his future is not there.
Because you're gonna believe in Sean Payton or Russell Wilson.
Someone's gonna get the blame for this season, and you
can't go into next year saying hey, no, Sewan and
Russ got to figure out no, no, it's a teardown.
It's a new quarterback. It's the only way Sean Payton
(08:21):
wins by saying, give me a new quarterback and let's
go from there, because look, I made Russ into what
is good, but this is about as good as he
can be. But they don't want to have to worry
about anything where they're on the hook with Russell Wilson
for next year. It'll be one bad year money wise,
but they'll have a new quarterback, so it'll be fine.
Not like you're going out in free agency and spending
a quarterback and that's how it's gonna go, and he's
gonna hit the bench and it's gonna be Russell Wilson
(08:41):
on a new team next year. Just watch the curiosity
with Wilson.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
And this goes back to the conversation we started about
Daniel Jones, who at this point is basically a pinata.
I mean, you want to talk about horrible offensive line play,
I'd like to show, uh, mister Neil a rough cut
of what came together. I don't need to do all
the bells and whistles and sound effects and all. Here's
the rough cut from the dailies. Tell me what you see.
(09:07):
I like the story today where hey, he could place
on it? Why why why would you? Why? Why are
you playing it? He's stuck the offensive line states but
why why?
Speaker 4 (09:17):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (09:18):
I'm more and more taking the more of the blame
pie on the offensive line and the fact that well
they have to try to run things out without Barkley.
But to the Russell Wilson side of things, and again
it goes to contracts and who's taking that on and
who still believes that he's the solution. Right, That's the
biggest thing going forward with the teams that are competitive
(09:43):
Russell Wilson, who does he solve problems for? And we're
only in a week five, so that'll become more and
more clear of which might be able to be hoodwinked
into making a move. But you're looking at an eighty
five million dollars dead ca. He's got a huge salary.
What is a thirty five to four who's taking on
(10:07):
a bunch of Like I said, the money, he'll work out.
The work out the money. If he's gonna start somewhere,
I'll work out.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
You want Russell Wilson as much as you would have wanted.
Aaron Rodgers is, well, you're not. You're not giving up
as much for him. You're not. You're not saying, here's
a second round pick that could be your first round
pick and another second round pick. It's gonna be.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
Here's if I'm if I'm in a bad spot and
then I'm in a bad way with my roster, I'm
bringing him in.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Well, that depends how bad you are. Are you bad
when you're starting over?
Speaker 4 (10:33):
No?
Speaker 1 (10:34):
But are you bad where? Hey, we're competing, and maybe
Russ works in our team to want to figure it out,
be a playoff team, and maybe Russ Wilson can can
can get a new start and be better in the
second check. Yeah, I got to table. I was supposed
to fix it now, and it's not gonna You're not
gonna be on the hook for a long deal because
that that contract would be out and you get out
of it after next you go hang out with Belichick.
Yeah he could.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Oh can you imagine Russell kidding? Point, they're gonna get
other problem. Three quarterbacks coming into the league. We'll solve
each other's problems.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Don't you worry. Shake my hand. I'll have to hear you.
He sounded like the Shadow Man, the We're gonna make
a deal with the Devil. We're gonna that devil deal
is happening right now. So, uh, that's kind of where
things are football wise now. Baseball wise, we got a thing. Yeah,
maybe every game now, the Diamondbacks just gonna hit Dodgers
(11:25):
pitching in the first inning. They get three in the
first inning off of Bobby Miller, who throws fifty pitches.
He is now out of the game. Diamondbacks are gonna
take a huge two to zero lead in this series. Meanwhile,
the Phillies and the Braids, and I realized, you know
how I say, I don't you know, one of these
teams is gonna lose. So I'm okay with that. The
Phillies or the Braves are going to lose. So I'm
(11:45):
okay with that because one of them is gonna lose.
One I is gonna lose. You gotta tell yourself you're
okay with that. Yeah, So I am. And I'm okay
because I know one of them is gonna lose. But
on the final play of the game, I realize, you know, yeah,
I'm I'm I'm I'm rooting for the Phillies. Like, if
I have to pitch, I'm rooting for the film if
I have to. If I have to pick, because I
wanted I wanted Bryce Harper to score. I wanted the
(12:06):
Phillies to win this game, and like I really I
realized who I was rooting for. But then it didn't happen,
and I have to realize I have to go back
and now just realize that, Okay, some team is going
to lose. That's how it's gonna go.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Yeah, I mean I figured you would, even though you
had your run ins verbally, i e. You ranting on
the radio against as you called him, Bieber Harper all
those years ago. I think there's now that you hate
to admit that you respect the player that he's grown
into and the guy that he is. Right all the
(12:37):
incidents of him with fans and everything, like, there's a
lot of good there, and I think it kind of
ticks you off, but by the same token, there's an appreciation.
And since the Braves kind of ran away and hid them,
losing would be good. And it would also be good
I think for baseball, because you know in the NFL,
whenever something happens to a superstar, you get rules changes, yeah,
(13:01):
maybe the Braves losing, we'd change the rules. Man, you
don't play the best team in the next round, you
don't get five or six days off before you play
a game.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
I'll worry about that after this, though. I gotta take
care of this and make sure an NL's team doesn't
win the World Series again. So I just gotta take
care of this r all right. But I did realize all.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Of that energy gets and channeled back into there.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
So that's where we sit right now. Yes, the Braves
throw Bryce Harper out on a flyout to center field
trying to get back to first base, and they overcome
a four to nothing deficit to win that game and
tie that series up at one apiece, five to four.
We'll have more baseball. We have more breakdown coming up.
More from the NFL. The Packers are in the gold
zone again, trying to go up on the Raiders. But
(13:43):
coming up next, Jason locking Forest stops by Odyssey Washington
Post NFL Insider. What do we have going forward? We've
had big injuries, we have big wins, and what's next
for the Cowboys, especially after what happened yesterday? Keep it

Speaker 1 (14:08):
The Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
We'll throw him a big fat one live.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
From the tire rack dot Com studios. Uh, Jimmy Garoppolo
just threw a flea flicker ten yards downfield and into
triple coverage. I don't I don't understand. I thought he's
gonna be able to thread the needle. That should be
a sign right there. Hey, maybe Jimmy doesn't have his
fastball anymore. I mean, this is it's a flea flicker. No,
(14:33):
I'm not gonna take the big shot downfield. I'm gonna
throw a crossing pattern into three defenders. Luckily for him
and for the Raiders, it fell in complete and they
still have the football still moving inside the red zone.
So big completion, dude. Devonte Adams, Yeah, I just gotta
caught another one. Now they are in got to hear
his name a couple of times inside the eleven yard line.
(14:53):
Raiders are threatening, So now he has three catches on
the night. More on this game, but joining us now
on the hotline nobody better to break down all the
big NFL goings on from week five. Check them out
on Odyssey, Washington Post dot com. Jason lock and for it, Jay.
What's happening, buddy? How are you?
Speaker 4 (15:13):
Oh? I'm doing all right all things considered. How about
you guys?
Speaker 1 (15:16):
So so you're doing better? So I'm the first of
all I want to say, I'm sorry about the orioles.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
Oh, thank you, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
I assume Palmer is going to pitch in the next game.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
No, mcmally, you don't like this this manager who uh yeah,
I've got some issues with he just wants to start
all guys who've never pitched in the playoffs before.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Yeah, it's like you bring your guys up from single.
Speaker 4 (15:38):
Opper would be No, I mean Palmer, he's been there
to He's actually won games in the posted. Why would
we go with Gibson when we could throw Dean Kramer
out there and go three straight with somebody who's never
thrown a pitch in October? Yeah, let's do that.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
But well, Bodaker in game four that curve ball, all right? So,
uh hello, Look, in order of people not doing well,
I mean, I'm sorry about the Orioles. So let's get
another group of people not doing well. The Cowboys. Boy,
I'll tell you they went all la emotionally on that
game yesterday and make it away with it. That's all.
Dak Prescott said. We put so much into this and
they were getting there by he got mad at a
(16:15):
reporter last week. You tried to get me fired up, dude.
Speaker 4 (16:20):
I mean, look, something's never changed. I mean, same as.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
It ever was. God, I mean, they're a joke.
Speaker 4 (16:32):
They are. When they have a chance to punch down
in the white class, they do it, and they struck
their stuff, and you know, the old man gets all
fired up again and runs down in the locker room
and tells everybody how great they are and they're all
worth their money, because of course they are, because I
decided how much you make. And then you know, things
go bad and there's nine thousand excuses. And when they
(16:54):
have to face a team that has a legitimate NFL
talent a problem for them and they're very top heavy.
They kind of remind me a little bit of the
Rams teams that were challenging for Super Bowls a few
years ago, not not with that extreme you know, not
with that many best of breed players, but certainly a
roster that their stars have to really be stars. Man,
(17:17):
And the digs goes down, and like you're not going
to get super creative stuff out of the offense or
the defense, like you're you're really not like micro rexa
game or the defense is pretty average, you know, And
now vander esh has hurt again. Like it's the offensive
line not nearly what it used to be.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
There's a lot.
Speaker 4 (17:40):
You know, there's just sort of a lot of blaw there.
And McCarthy's not coaching his way out of a paper bag,
like he's not I mean the idea that like he's
got to fix something to reinvent something. It is a
very vanilla, boring offense. And the decoordinator who's gotten a
lot of flowers over the last few years. Like again,
when he's got a game record, lining up all real
place doing stuff, it's one thing. But otherwise, you know,
(18:02):
if it's you know, sitting back and playing that cover
three that you know, he and Pete Carroll and those
guys love people have some answers for that, especially when
you face real quarterbacks. So I don't know, guys, you know,
they'll they'll win, you know, games they're supposed to win
and they're not. They won't want a damn thing in
the playoffs, and then there'll be a whole nother off
season of hype and we'll get to hear about you know,
(18:25):
Trey Lance and how he's looking and all. I mean,
I can you can see the headlines coming. I mean
you can already, you know, you can, you can feel it.
But they're not going to win anything, and they're not
going to be a real contending franchise until they're run
by different people, and that ain't happening anytime soon.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
All right, let's skip back over there to Baltimore. Seven
drop passes officially lost to the Steelers, turnovers, red zone inefficially.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
That was a tough one. I went back and.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
Watched idiotic taking the decision. Yes, yeah, it's something else fumbles, Yeah,
I mean, look, it was a lot like the Colts game,
which they pretty much just gave away through the same
sort of mental and physical blunders. I mean, there's a
(19:16):
couple of sort of tried and truisms with this team
for years now. They don't have dudes who are any
good at catching the football, and they don't have dudes
or any good at rushing the passer, you know, certainly
not since they let Matt Judon go. So that just
is what it is.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
I mean.
Speaker 4 (19:33):
So now they got a young defensive coordinator who's scared
of his own shadow, who wants to sit back and
zwn it up, which was fine and it worked really
well for him last year. But they don't have Justin
Houston anymore, and they don't have Kalay's Campbell anymore, and
they haven't really replaced them with anybody. And Clowney is
awesome at getting in, you know, getting within arms distance
of the quarterback, but not actually bringing them down to
(19:53):
the ground. And so they have to start bringing five
and six in critical situations to get any pressure. And
they've been destroyed by people like Gardner Minshew and Kenny
Pickett with the game on the line in the fourth
quarter when you can't give up a big pass, and
they give up a big pass. I mean, the ball
only went one way at one place yesterday it was Pickens,
and they didn't have anybody who could stop them in
(20:14):
the second half. So they've got some personnel issues there.
You know. They give Odell Beckham sixteen million bucks. He'll
maybe play six or seven games this year at this
pace and not do a whole lot. Rashad Bateman is
just the latest and a long, long, undistinguished line of
Ravens draft first round wide receiver draft pick busts and
(20:35):
Nelson Agilor drops the football a lot because well it's
Nelson agilar You know, just google unlike Agilar if you
aren't already hipt what's going on there? So yeah, I
mean it's kind of like back to what it used
to be when you had a small, young receiver in
Marquise Brown and you had Mark Andrews and that was
(20:56):
the you know, that was their passing game. Kind of
right back there, and the honeymoon certainly over for Todd Monkin,
their new offensive coordinator. So you know, running shovel passes
for Mark Andrews in the gold to gost situations instead
of just giving it to Gus Edwards or you know
that guy Lamar Jackson has already got four rushing touchdowns.
(21:17):
So anyway, man, yeah, it was a hell of them.
I mean, people watch Harball Butcher that game, and then
that led right into Brandon Hyde sitting there and chewing
on his own lip and you know, looking like Forrest Gump.
I mean, so, yeah, it was a great day of
sports management in Baltimore.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
Jason locking for with us, Jason Spith, Mike Harmon here
on Fox Sports. Rady all right, so again in my
effort to help show you that, hey, as bad as
you have it, there's always someone who has it worse.
Let's talk about the Broncos and Sean Page and mcilson. Uh, Jay,
this looked obviously yesterday that was the final nail in
the coffin. You lose to Zach Wilson, You give up
all those yards on the ground. How much longer do they?
(21:58):
I mean, I assume they're going to start making trades.
I assume they'll sit Russell Wilson at some point so
they can potentially trade him in the off season, have
to pay him all that money that he's due to
be on the roster for injury. How do you how
do you see things going forward now the rest of
this year in Denver?
Speaker 4 (22:12):
Well? I mean, yeah, I don't know if there's a
suitor out there for Russ. I mean maybe Russ is fine,
Like Russ is not really the problem anymore, right, But if.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
You're starting over. I mean, yeah, yeah, he's.
Speaker 4 (22:24):
Gonna want to draft Callum Williams or get you know,
somebody up the top of the draft. And it's not
a great you know, Kirk Cousins is the headliner in
the free agent class. There's not a whole lot of
there there. And I think the days of blockbuster you know,
a whole bunch of blockbuster quarterback trades are kind of
over too. So yeah, I mean I guess somebody out there,
(22:45):
you know, might want Russ. But that, I mean, the
defense is just absolutely horrendous. I mean, it's it's so
far below professional grade. It's it's scary. They're making every
quarterback you know, look like Joe Montana. They don't have
pass rush, they don't have past coverage. It's pretty shameful. Yeah,
(23:12):
I mean the Jets put up thirty one points. I
think that kind of that kind of says everything. But look,
I mean they'll deal some some guys in a few
weeks at the deadline. I'm sure, you know, I would
think Cheltaton is going to try to get in the
pick acquisition business as much as he can. And yeah,
I mean I don't know who the team is, but
(23:34):
I guess it's conceivable that somebody who can't get one
of the top three quarterbacks in this draft decides to
go the Russell Wilson route. But they're just an abject
failure as a football team right now. There's just there's
there's defense just can't I mean, like this defense is
(23:56):
really I mean, his defense is making the Bears in
the Vikings defense look good, which is saying something. I mean,
how horrific they are.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
That's a victorious Bears team there, Jason locking for it
is it is might only be the only that might
be the one. But they got Minnesota this week, so
who knows. But let's go to Indianapolis for a second.
You get the contract done with with Jonathan Taylor. Zach
Moss runs a muck. But Anthony Richardson again, he's hurt.
Now we're seeing maybe a month and a half or
(24:25):
so before he's ready again. So it's the return of
Minshew mania for short term, but Richard's long term.
Speaker 5 (24:34):
Man.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
Now you've got a big problem on your hand with
a guy who's had to leave three times in five weeks.
Speaker 4 (24:39):
Yeah, I mean, it's it's absolutely, you know, troublesome and problematic.
And he has squeezed some really big time throws and
some really magnificent you know rushing place.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
In between that.
Speaker 4 (24:53):
But yeah, I mean he got banged up in over
the summer and it's basically been you know, every other
game he's played, with few games out in between, and look,
Minshew's been pretty game for them, and you know, they're
they're they're they're kind of in their own way and
an interesting team, especially in that division where you know,
(25:13):
I don't think anybody's going to run away and hide.
I mean, they don't really kind of beat themselves. You know,
they have a way of hanging around, and they made
some plays in the fourth quarter and watching them put
together some of the ball control drives they did in
the second half of that game to really kind of
ice the Titans. And that's a Titans rush defense that
(25:36):
has been really top top notch since the start of
last season. And what they did with Taylor basically a
spectator against them up front with some offensive line injuries
was pretty impressive. And Moss was running like a guy
who wants to be paid himself. So yeah, I mean,
(25:57):
these are the kind of games that they would just
absolutely give away when they had a fake football coach
last year, you know, and like they just would right,
they would have found ten different ways to lose that
game with Jeff Saturday last year. And yeah, Richardson, I
don't know if it's gonna be four weeks or whatever,
five weeks, six weeks, but they're gonna keep running the
(26:18):
ball and they'll probably keep running the ball pretty effectively
no matter who it is. And I think that's gonna
be a weird little race there. I think that thing's
gonna go. Like I think Houston's gonna hang around. I
think everybody is going to pretty much hang around. And
you know, Jacksonville's gonna have to up its efforts within
that division because they haven't been the dominant force within
(26:40):
that division that they probably should be on paper.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
He's on Twitter at Jason lock and four that is
at Jason lock and for check him out on Odyssey
Washington Post and congrats number one again one oh five
to seven in Baltimore, buddy very much. How about that?
You gottavent. We'll talk to you next week. Enjoy all right,
there go Jason looking for him now? Seven straight corners. Yeah,
those guys there, Yeah, yeah, not not not excited about
(27:05):
the Orioles though, no management, Yeah, you know.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
The The follow up questioned all the the raven stuff though,
is uh is DaCosta down in the locker room waving
at the wide receivers that got all chested within this offseason.
Here's the still of you dropping this ball. You want
to explain this to me?
Speaker 1 (27:24):
He's gonna kick Tyscher's ass too. For that music the
Tyser plays for the Orioles, Well, he did play taps,
and I think, well, it sounded like he kind of
agreed with it. So you're saying, well, no, I'm saying, well,
you're down to zip in this series. And you decide
you're you're gonna bring up people from the Elsa Gundo
team that won the Little League World Series to pitch
in this series. I don't think you're gonna win. No, No,
(27:44):
let me bring up another untested guy and put him
in his first game. Let me leave you that. Let's see,
let's see how this works. It's so crazy, it just
might work us. How the Knicks used to do things.
I got the Knicks in this.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
You just had to jam and jam the Knicks into
this conversation.

(28:32):
frozen strikes out looking to end the fifth inning with
runners on the Corners. Dodgers trail the Diamondbacks three to one,
going to the top of the sixth inning. Meanwhile, seven
minutes to go in the fourth quarter, the Packers have
the football back again deep in their own territory, trailing
the Raiders seventeen thirteen. We'll have more in both these
games coming up in a few minutes. But the biggest
(28:53):
play of this weekend that, obviously, because you see it
once in maybe more than a generation, the hey Miami
lost to Georgia Tech. Mario Crista Baal, head coach of
the Hurricanes, took all the blame today for not kneeling
on the football in the final minute. When all the
Miami Hurricanes had to do was kneel on the football,
they would have won the game. They're undefeated going into
their big showdown against North Carolina. But instead they hand
(29:16):
the football off, it's fumbled. Two plays later, Georgia Tech
is in the end zone of the next to last
play of the game. It was shocking, It was crazy,
and everywhere you went this weekend people were talking about
that play today. Crystal Ball took all the ownership for it.
Speaker 6 (29:31):
And when the drive started, it was going to be
at one fifty seven, you know, and we could burn
about one twenty seven off and then it was recalibrated.
I should have taken the time out right there at
the end, thought he could get the first down, and
you know, we talked about two hands on the ball,
but that's not good enough. Just told them to take
any in.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
That's it.
Speaker 6 (29:49):
Fumbled the ball at twenty five and they won seventy
five yards in two plays. So not going to make
an excuse for it or say you should have done
this or that. That's it. I know we should have
should have done it. You know, sometimes let's get carried
away with they just finish a game and run it.
But I should have just stepped in and said, hey,
just take any all.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
Right, So you've seen this play and heard about it
all week, and what ridiculously bad to say it was bad.
But I'm gonna tell you why. I'm gonna tell you
exactly why this happened. And when I see plays like
this happen, I'm glad when coaches get burned on it.
They hadn't kneeled on the ball all season, right, and
they've had leads in every single game right now, a
lot of them in double digit leads, but they have
bought the end of games. They don't kneel on it, right,
(30:27):
They keep running their offense. Why Because Mario Cristobal is
one of those coaches who always wants you to think,
look how smart I am. I'm always coaching, We're always
doing something. Look how we're winning this game, and I'm
able to run our offense. I'm able to get guys
reps at the end of games. We're running plays because
look how smart I am. And I hate coaches who
(30:48):
do that because they think that's coaching. Because if I'm
not doing something crazy. I'm not coaching, and I want
people to think, boy, that's a great coach. Look, he's
able to run his offense at the end of games.
Not don't have to kneel on the football. And that's
just stupid. And I love when guys like that lose.
I love it because they think they're so great. They
want people to look and say, look what a great
coach as you are. Look how smart I am. That's
(31:09):
exactly what he's wanted to do because they would have
knel on the football before, right, No need to keep right?
Why not kneeling on the football is either Nope, we
want all our games. We're gonna do it because I
want you to see how smart I am. Like when
Greg Shiana would run the whole We're gonna rush the
snap on the on the kneel done. That's the way
we do it. I want you to think, how smart
I am. This is what coaches are. And that's exactly
why Miami didn't kneel on the football because he wants
(31:31):
to be that coach and say, look, I'm the smartest
coach in the world. I want the players to know it.
I want the media to what. I want all the
fans know it. I'm smart, I do things differently. I
do things my way. That's why they lost. I'm glad
they lost.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
Well, Shiano, it was all about being a bully and
showing you the attitude, and we were gonna run you
over right till the final whistle and inflict punishment wherever
we could. In this case, I think it was just,
you know, run the ball, just run your normal offense.
Maybe he doesn't like some guys can't new quarterback sneaks.
This guy's got problems kneeling down.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
I don't know, but I gonna trick me. So I
don't know that I can. I can't really kneel. It
takes me a long time. So I'm just gonna stay.
If I could just stand, that'd be okay.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
Now what's interesting though, is I mean, did he have
a challenge flags in his pocket because dude, dude was
down before the ball came out. You go and look
at the replay, he's hits the ground and then the
guy slaps.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
The ball away. But in the it was just general principle.
You don't kneel on the football. You deserve it. That's
what we're doing.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
Well, there might have been some of that, but again,
hold on to the football right general rule of time,
and then you go play defense and make his decision
stand up.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
He'll still have to answer for it. Oh yeah, you
still let him go seventy five yards and two pas.
Speaker 2 (32:47):
But I mean that's being lost in all of this, right,
It's like all the game sevens from bullpen meltdowns or
Bill Buckner through the leg or anything else.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
You know, there was another game. Yeah, there were some
big here.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
You you hadn't given up big plays against the pass.
Yet you then give up seventy four yards on two
pass completions and you give up the game.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
There were so many chances to throw the emergency breake,
to say no, no, let's let let's do this to
stop it from it even even even past the kneeling
on the football let's not know, okay, let's and you
let you let a guy get behind you on the
next letter. Not just what you let him get by everybody.
It wasn't just what like you see that pass that
he threw, and it's like, how is the wide receiver
ahead of that? How was how was he ahead of
(33:30):
everybody on the field? How is that?
Speaker 4 (33:32):
How?
Speaker 2 (33:32):
I mean, you've got organizational failures all over the place.
So the decision to run the ball instead of kneeling terrible,
but should have been able to be covered up in
a number of spaces. But still, but that's him. Look
how I'm the smartest, I'm the smartest coach in the world,
and this is what I'm gonna do. And now he's
got to look back and go, oh man, I'm and
(33:53):
that loss. He'll think about that loss every day for
the rest of his life. Well because everybody is also
reminding him of the time that happened. Oregon, Dude, can
we go back?
Speaker 1 (34:03):
I got another show you on the PowerPoint presentation, the
smartest I'm the smartest coach in the world. I want
to show all of you, Uh, I coach with guys
like that, and and it's just I want those guys
to lose too. But when you anything, no, not everybody,
the Jets won. I'm very happy, very very happy.
Speaker 4 (34:22):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (34:22):
Coming up next, we get back into a big story
from the NFL Dallas Cowboys. Hate to say I told
you so, that's next. Fox
