It's hard to prepare yourself for a guy that walked
into the room with some purple shorts, man, because you
know the party has arrived.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
But last night we started talking about the situation with
quarterbacks being unlike any season. I can remember after Week
one where we talk about so many quarterbacks that could
be losing their jobs, right, and maybe it's just a
combination of the there's a lot of players who are
on their last chance. But I can't remember the last
time after Week one quarterback changes were such a big story. Right.
(02:31):
We told you last night that Deshaun Watson era is
coming to an end in Cleveland, probably in a couple
of weeks. They're not gonna go through him just playing
like he's a guy and not invested in the quarterback
position and not getting anything out of him. They're not
gonna do it. They went through it all last year.
They know you're not You know you're not gonna get
great football from him. You will see Jameis Winston and
(02:52):
they will figure out the money in the offseason, just
like the Niners said, Hey, we're gonna give all our
players money. Now, we'll figure out the eight guys making
fifteen million dollars a year in the offseason after a
hoisting Lombardi Trophy will figure out the money. Then the
Browns are gonna figure out the money. Then we'll fit
whatever it is. Salary cap keeps going up. They can
do so many things happening. They will figure out the money.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
That, Yeah, Randy Newman saying it's money that matters in
this particular case, it's sunk cost and at some point
the organization has to move forward. And right now you're
just sputtering, and so to keep putting this drek out
there week after week. Now you've got more law suits
and other things pending there. Yes, you feel from a
(03:35):
human side, you know how much was he ready for
week one with the death of his father, you know,
and all this hanging over so trying to figure all
that out. But what you do know is that the
play in the games that he's been available for the
Browns had been subpar. And that's being kind.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Yeah, look, and you got it right, because it's money
that matters. Sounds a lot better than it sunk costs that.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Matter, like carite that.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Yeah, alliteration always works much better in a song, always does.
But a couple other guys that are way closer to
being replaced than you think they are. We'll go with
the easy guy first. And it may be easy just
because I could read the t leaves so well. But
my bold prediction that the Giants will have started three
quarterbacks by week ten. I feel great about that they'll
(04:23):
be starting Tommy Cutlets by week ten because Daniel Jones
is just circling the drain. Okay, when you are getting
booed after your second play from scrimmage, and that's what
happened to Daniel Jones. When you have such an awful
first game, new offensive weapons, new everything, and after the game,
(04:43):
your coach has to defend you and say, I am
not making a quarterback change right now. When you're talking
about a quarterback change after week one, how long until
it's really going to happen.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Yeah, to answer the question, I get it, but.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
It's like, but that's what you answer and say, next question, right,
move on, move on. But I'm not. I'm not contemplating
a quarterback change. Look, and Dabel knows that I'm kind
of hooked into Daniel Jones because I'm not gonna be
around to break in the next quarterback. Look, the Giants
are tanking this year, right, We told they're tanking. It's
why they didn't make any moves in the offseason, why
they didn't go get a quarterback, because they know that
(05:15):
if they're bad this year, it's a new new GM,
new head coach, new quarterback. You don't want your Shane's
kit take it over. Well, yeah, Shane's kid at least
knows that. You know, it's about Daniel Jones, right, he's
a guy. But you know they're not gonna saddle a
new regime with a quarterback that they didn't draft, right,
they didn't draft JJ McCarthy because they know it could
be a new coach, new GM is McCarthy gonna work.
We're gonna be stuck with him. No, we're gonna tank
(05:38):
this year and we're gonna be ready for next year.
Dabel knows that, Okay, I'm going down with Daniel Jones,
but at some point he's going to know I have
to make a change because I got a win to
try to save my job. And they'll go Daniel Jones
to Drew Lock like week three, week four, and then
they'll go Drew Lock to Tommy CUTTLTZ by week nine
because the desire to see him when neither Drew Lock
(05:58):
nor Daniel Jones a winning games again to be so immense.
And it's gonna go along with the Giants plan of
tanking because none of these quarterbacks are any good. So, yeah,
he's going to lose his job soon. It's only it's
only a matter of time before they decide to cut
the cord and move on, right. It's it's it's really
of all the quarterback changes, that's the one I feel
(06:19):
that this is gonna happen first, and it's not gonna
be a shock. It'll be Deshaun Watson will still be
a shock to people who just want to ignore that
just because they're paying it doesn't mean he's gonna play.
The Giants are paying Daniel Jones doesn't mean he's gonna play.
So that's gonna be the first one that happens again
week fourish. With that, then you're gonna go a month
or so at Drew Locke. Then you have Tommy Cutletz
(06:39):
by week ten. That's how the season is gonna go
for the Giants.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
Yeah, but to show you, you know how the NFL
scheduling gods, small g uh put these things together.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
This week you get.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
The Giants on the road at Commanders one and a
half point underdogs are the Giants. Commanders aren't any good either,
so they could be one and one after this this
week's game.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Or Jayden Daniels could could show you this is what
you're missing from your team and he gives you another
thirty fantasy points and twenty eight points on the scoreboard,
and it's boy, they look great. They look like they
have energy. They've started over. And here's Daniel Jones, the
same offense that that really only worked for one season
and basically the last few games of one season. And
(07:23):
this is what you're missing. So while it could be
an opportunity for Whin, it's also an opportunity to be
shown that, oh, yeah, this is now now that I
have to believe that this is where you have to
go and I just got game that's out. No, but
because they were very But is there energy around Washington
and is there energy around having Jayden?
Speaker 2 (07:43):
There's a lot of energy around the giants. What are
you talking?
Speaker 1 (07:47):
You just use the energy, good energy, not bad.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
I got to make you specificity.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Like Information Society saying in the nineteen eighty nine pure energy,
Pure energy? Did it energy?
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Just you know, maybe Micah Parsons, the guy without his
contract to Dallas, was the voice of reason. We realize
the guy is just nine months removed from an ACL injury, right,
and that doesn't mean he was putting up world beating
numbers before he got his contract and I think Daniel
Jones is gonna be the next of the unfortunate guys that,
like we talked about a little bit with Yamamodo as
(08:23):
a savior for the Dodgers, is because of his contracts, Like, right,
you're that guy, because matter when he was back with Detroit,
remember Matthew Stafford was that guy. Yeah right, Oh you're
getting paid all that money, you're doing nothing. Now he
goes to the Rams and one after another, you hear
all the young quarterbacks that I love watching that guy
play Aaron Rodgers for the last decade, my favorite guy
(08:45):
to go up against and watch is Matthew Stafford. Suddenly
he goes to the Rams and Sean McVay and everybody
loves Matthew Stafford. Same guy, same guy, better team whatever.
But for Daniel Jones, right, he had a good year
to years ago. They get to the playoffs last year,
not a great start to things. But he gets hurt, right,
(09:06):
neck injury, followed by acl and now he's on the
comeback trail. We don't we don't give him any grace.
I get it, it's the Giants, it's New York, all
those things.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Well, boy, we.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
Make excuses for so many other people. Daniel Jones and
got people just looking to bury at every turn like
it's week one.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
That doesn't matter. It doesn't matter, It doesn't matter when
it's already that overwhelming for week one. It's just a
matter of no.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
But if he's gonna steak and he's that bad, then
you should. You should get every dime worth out of
what you're paying him.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
But you can't. But you can't. You can't. You want
people to still come to the games, you want to
pay those are television Okay, why do you think.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Tommy TV It's packages are already sold.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Tommy Cutlets had all kinds of headlines last year because hey,
at least he's interesting. It doesn't all right because the
guy's named Tommy Cutlets and he's got an agent that
was crazy, and he's gonna appear at pizza part And
then he wasn't appearing at pizza parlor trying to shake
him down for more money.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
That was That's where the Tommy Cutler's nickname really took old.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
He can have MetLife Stadium empty on a Sunday by Halloween.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
Come on, hey man, and if they're if they're eight,
it will be anyway.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
We're only going to show the lower bowl of met life. Okay,
no note shots above.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
Eh.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Once we get about fifteen rows from the field, that
things get dicey. So fifteen rows and down, that's all
we're gonna show you. So that's Daniel Jones like a event.
The bigger one is Kirk Cousins because Atlanta just looked
lost on Sunday. They didn't look like they were really
(10:42):
all on the same page. Offensively, trying to watch them
run there hurry up at the end of the game
was just comical. It was do they all really know
what's going on? Like when all the linemen are looking
back at him for the play because normally, you know,
wh you're running a hurrio at the lineman come up,
they hear, they hear the call, they get down. When
they're all looking back like what what? What's going on here?
Like you can tell they were in a lot of flux.
(11:04):
And Kirk Cousins didn't play well. Okay, I get it.
We told you Kirk Cousins is a bridge quarterback. His
salary is irrelevant. Once they drafted Michael Pennix Junior and
he showed that he was pretty good in the summer
Kirk Cousins is a bridge quarterback and he is only
there until it gets time to play Michael Pennix Junior.
(11:25):
And we told you the beginning of the year, if
Kirk Cousins is no good by week five, week six,
Michael Pennix is taking over. Forget about all the fish
raps you read to borrow to turn from Mike Harmon
about how oh well, there's no way Michael Pennock's not
gonna play this year. Kirk Cousins got such a big guy.
The money is irrelevant. He is a bridge quarterback and
(11:45):
deceie Raheem Morris say yesterday this is one of the
biggest things he said about anybody in Week one. Hey,
Kirk cousins struggles were not because of injury. Whoa, whoa,
because that's the one thing that you would think, well,
he still needs to find his way back. He's not
one hundred percent healthy coming off the devastating injury. When
your head coach as it wasn't because of injury, that's
(12:05):
alarm bells man. That's not a guy saying I'm in
on Kirk Cousins forever. He knows the organization at some
point is gonna have to turn the page to Michael
Pennick Junior, and he knows that we screwed up by
signing Kirk Cousins and then drafting the guy. Right. But this,
this is what Arthur Blank wanted. So this is now
the mess that you have to navigate. But they will
do the same thing as I said with the with
the with the Cleveland Browns. Kirk Cousins will sit and
(12:28):
they'll figure out the money in his situation at the
end of the year. Not only that, they will sit
him sooner rather than later, because the longer he plays
and the longer he stinks, the harder it's gonna be
to trade him in the offseason, the more money they're
gonna have to swallow, the less of a draft pick
they're gonna get. Because Kirk Cousins coming into the season,
he was a pretty big comodity. A guys played really well.
(12:49):
But boy coming off that injury, but man, hey, forty
million a year, Yeah, Kirk Cousins is still playing a
really high level. Awe, he'd be great for us if
he plays three or four weeks and his bad Hey,
you can easily spin the narrative that it's he still
wasn't he one hundred percent healthy, and he still had
to work his way back in, didn't get the reps.
We still love Kirk, but he really wasn't ready and
(13:11):
maybe we rushed him and that's our fault. But Michael
is our future. And then if you put Kirk Cousins
in mothballs, then it's much easier in the offseason to say, well, Okay,
the guys haven't played a lot in a couple of years,
but maybe he wasn't healthy. Maybe we can we can
take him. We'll take the contract off the Falcons hands.
You're not gonna get a lot as far as a
draft pick goes, but there's teams that are gonna be
(13:33):
dying for a quarterback, Graters, there's gonna be teams dying
for a quarterback. So it's easier to trade him. But
if he plays in Stinks for ten weeks, how are
you gonna trade him? What are you gonna do? How
do you move him if he plays more than half
the season. It's kind of like what the Rams did
with Jared Goff when he was a rookie. When he
played and all of a sudden they decided, oh, he's
not playing anymore, Well, we don't want to get him hit.
(13:53):
We don't want him to uh, you know, get injured
when really it was man, he's not good. And the
longer it goes him playing the tougher it's gonna be
to get him to be a good quarterback. So let's
shut him down now before things really get out of hand.
And they were able to massage Jared Goff and bring
him back. He got him to a super Bowl. Then
he was bad. Now he's with the Lions and he's
playing really, really well. But teams have done that before
(14:16):
and they'll do that. That's why the hook is gonna
come sooner for Kirk Cousins because they want to protect
him as an asset in the off season, and the
longer he plays and stinks less of an asset he is.
Speaker 4 (14:25):
Well.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
I mean the other thing is I mean you brought
him Jared Goff. I mean remember all of that to say,
where's my super Bowl ring Sean mcvahen company. But with
Kirk Cousins in this regard the fact that Raheem Morris
talks about him being healthy, that's not good for the company.
It's not good for the company to say it that way.
(14:46):
And the vaunted offensive line. Now you and I both
picked Tampa Bay. You have them going far than I did,
but for the division, looking at continuity and what they
have there, and obviously the change with no canals, but
either way, all the prince there, Mike Evan's still a beast,
Chris Godwin healthy and ready to go, all of that,
the depth a running back, right, Bucky Irving's.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Gonna be a guy. Everybody's on the waiver wire.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
But the point being that the division everybody had, you know,
and I use the term everybody, because the expectation was
that Atlanta, with Kirk Cousins under center, Bjon Robinson no
longer contained by whatever Arthur Smith was doing there, et cetera,
that they had enough. But the big thing that was
continually underscored was the offensive line. They were terrible against Pittsburgh.
(15:32):
Now it doesn't help that Kirk is a statue at
this point, right, there's no mobility there, so any margin
that they had to be less than great is gone.
But that was supposed to be a big selling point
of why they were a team not only to potentially
win the NFC South, but also to make a charge
(15:53):
to win the NFC overall, and instead they got absolutely
worked by that Pittsburgh front. As you would expect, you know,
Tomlin to have those guys ready in as so long
as TJ. Watt's healthy, I mean, he absolutely was a
menace during that game. So you'll face less daunting lines now.
The Eagles have plenty of depth and I shudder to
(16:15):
think what happens if Jalen Carter gets after Kirk Cousins
in this one. But the long of it is just
and just to take the long, long story short, is
you have aspirations. Your owner bought in thinking he had
a title team and this would push them over. And
when Pennix was there, they didn't flinch. They didn't go
(16:37):
for another position, they didn't dig deep. They said, wait,
this guy's available to us here, and they took him.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Now.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
It bucked conventional strategy and looked a lot like what
kirk Cousins was as the number two guy drafted in
Washington all those years ago. But the wind time is
now for Arthur Blank, it's not kicking that can down
the road. So if kirk Cousins is in better and
then the schedule the next three weeks is brutal for
(17:05):
them that you may see panics sooner rather than later,
to try to preserve this season and to your point,
preserve whatever value Kirk Cousins may still.
Speaker 1 (17:15):

Speaker 1 (19:31):
Sports Radio, The Jason Smith Show with my best friend
Mike Harmon live fromthtire rack dot com Studios. I like that, Jay, well,
you know, because it makes me think of one of
my favorite things. We would always have a joke about
this at ESPN that our favorite moments were when Boomer
(19:53):
would do when Berman would do the home run derby,
and he would call every home like it was a
real home run. It's amazing, and it was like, you
gotta just you know, you see how it's evolved where
guys are hitting home runs and the analysts are talking
and the hosts are talking about what's happening, and oh boy,
he's really swinging the bat. Well, look at that another
(20:13):
home run. I really getting the pitch here. And instead
he would just call everyone. It would be back, back,
back back, and by the time it got like midway through,
his voice would be.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Like Burne, Yeah, God, buck Brook, Brick God, Like Okay,
you don't need to call it.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
You're gonna call all of Frank Thomas's twenty seven home
runs in the first round. Oh, that was just the way.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
You gotta give it all you got, right, I mean,
you have one one when there's no promise of tomorrow, no, no.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
And look, and that's where my Boermon impression comes from.
It's more Berman like week seventeen or week week fifteen
of the NFL season, where it's Okay, it's the middle
of winter, everybody's got a cold and Chargers trying to
get the win against the Steelers here Neil O'Donnell isn't like.
That's kind of where my my whole Berman comes from.
(21:04):
Is like it's the late in the season, like Week
fifteen of Primetime Berman. That yeah, not the not the
early part baseball tonight Berman of like April and May,
when it's at a no, no, no, it's okay, we're
just trying to get to the holidays now, Okay, we're
everybody's got some time off and everything. Okay, that's that's
that's that's what we're doing. That'shere we're going. But I
(21:26):
dig that. Now you wanted to talk about Sam Donald.
He is not worth a lot of time, But I
will I'll indulge you, Mike Carmen, because I kind of
dig that people already on social media have decided that
he's good again. Oh, Sam Donald is good.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
Okay, look man, it's a new season.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
Stuff came out strong, he played well, and Hope is
still alive.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
Okay, why can't you let a little hope into your life.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
That's a great spin. That's a great spin, man, No,
that's a great spin. That's a great spin. Sam Donald
played fine against a team that's one of the three
worse in the NFL. That's tanking. Okay, that's what Sam
Donald did. Sam Donald's on his fourth he won two, three, four,
fourth team. I watched him have a nice little new
start to his career in Carolina, and the Jets replaced
him with Zach Wilson, and then Sam Donald went to
(22:15):
Carolina and they won their first three games. Sam Donald
is still the same guy. He's still missing guys, still
missing receivers. Does he have more talent now than he
did have any Yes? Absolutely, no question that he's got that.
But I know the guy. I know the guy. He's
a quarterback. I know what he does. He's not suddenly
going to get it at twenty seven. He's not to
be able to throw it up every four plays to
(22:36):
Justin Jefferson and get a caught ball. He'll come back
to earth this week. I've seen this tape with Sam
Donald before. It's a great start, and I'm happy for
the guy because he has been nothing but class. The
Jets drafted him and then they moved on from him,
and Carolina got him and he had to battle with
Baker Mayfield. He lost the gig there back up in
(22:56):
San Francisco. He has always said the right things. He
has never jumped back out of the team. He has
never talked bad about anybody. He has carried his career
with class, and I dig out abouts. I'm a big
fan of Sam Darnold as when an athlete carrying himself,
but quarterback, we kind of know. Man, you can't tell
me all the Jets are getting it wrong. Look at
Geno Smith. Gino Smith is a backup for a bleeping decade.
(23:16):
He had one good year and now it's we gotta
move on from genius. Watch Gino Smith this week. I'm sorry,
Gino Smith is not great. He had one really good
year and I'm happy for the guy again, and he
turned it into a lot of money. And that's really awesome,
and he got paid and it'll it's a great way
for him to end his career. But Gino Smith is
not great man.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
That just means the life cycle of being in gen
It takes his decade to get it out of your system.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Gino Smith played one of the three worst teams in
the NFL and he barely won. So it's not like
suddenly these guys are leaving the Jets with great careers. Okay, Zach, wait.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
You've not put the Broncos in the bottom three.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
Not even Yes, the Bronco in the bottom three, the
Panthers in the bottom three, the Giants in the bottom
everybody's in the bottom three. They're all bottom three. But
but but that's where they with these teams. That's how
bad they are. And and for Geno Smith, it's a
decade in the end, one good year and now they
want to replace him. Zach Wilson's falling down the depth
chart and Sam Donald's on his fourth team. This is
not Hey, the Jets get rid of a guy, he
(24:15):
goes someplace else and becomes a star. That's different. You
want to anoint Sam Donald a star after one game? Okay,
how about this. How about we give him like five
or six games to see if he can really move
this Vikings offense a lot. Let's see, let's see how
they do this week. A little bit tougher sledding for
the Vikings this week. The Giants is one thing, but
now San Francisco and Houston. Hey, light up the scoreboard
(24:37):
with Houston. Let's see you do that. Right, Let's see
you do it at Green Bay. Let's see when you
come back to when you when the Jets come visit
you again with a much better defense than they had
when they let you go the first time around.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
Hey, don't be in London that the game we're exporting
Sam Donald and taking him international.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
Well, then you got the Lions and the Rams. Let
let's see you. Let's see you do it through those games,
and then hey, I'll be the first guy to tell you, Hey,
I'm not only is Sam Donald a class guy, but
look at the career resurgence he's having right now. But
one game and suddenly it's oh, he's great. And the
Jets stink because they're an easy target and I can't
get quarterbacks right now. It's true, they cannot get quarterbacks
(25:14):
right that's That's.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
What I was gonna say. And listen to the words.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
It's not back, it's not part of this guy. The
last guy they drafted who was any good they played
was Chad Pennington. And you're going a way back to
two thousand and two. Okay, so that's a long time ago.
But the Jets can't get quarterbacks right. But but it
doesn't mean they go someplace else and are great. It means,
but they can't get these quarterbacks right. The Jets draft
a guy no team should ever want to sign them ever.
Get Oh, the Jets drafted them. Not gonna work. Let's
(25:40):
move on somebody.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
Else, somebody else, somebody else. Remember Chad Pennington drafted in
the two thousand draft. So you got that going for
you there. But at Sam Darnal.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
Too, he became when he became a big wish became
a star. He's like a video game in two thousand
and ten.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
Absolutely, and this is that behind him. Have any now
you're talking, But yeah, go back to you know those
two thousand I'm gonna bring you in some Chad Pennington
rookie cards just to taunt you, and I'll wish I
could have converted them into Tom Brady's from that year.
But we'll talk about that another time. But to your point,
for Sam Darnold, yes, that schedule ahead is daunting, and
(26:18):
if he can navigate that, he's there. All I'm going
off is one week and it was a fine week,
an efficient week. And maybe Kevin O'Connell and before that, Shanahan,
maybe they're able to coke something a little more and
find some shades of that guy that was drafted years ago.
(26:39):
You know that your team ruined. No, but just the idea,
But just the idea. He is only twenty seven years old. Like,
that's the thing is like on a relative basis, based
on where guys used to finish their collegiate career and
then sit on their asses for two to three years
before they became the starter. I mean, he's right on
(27:00):
part where he should just be getting going. So he's
got plenty, plenty of my experience seeing the spin I'm
doing here, a lot of stuff. I'm spinning my wheels.
I'm like Fred Flintstone trying to get my car started.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
But it's the.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
See I mean, it ties together so well with Chris Burden.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
But I don't know about that front. I don't know
Sam Donald's any good front, Sam Donal's gonna throw in
receptions at Denal fred front. I don't think that's gonna happen.
Speaker 3 (27:27):
As long as they've exercised the demons that he doesn't
see ghosts anymore.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
I don't know about that front front. I really don't
know freend uh So, they're Sam dark now quite like
you like my Barney, and press's a pretty good Barney impression.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
That we could throw in some gazoo.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
But he's like, oh yes, dum dumbs, Bundy's not gonna
look up front. Are people under the age of fifty
don't get this front? I don't get him. Uh So,
from Sam Donald to what's going on right now in
Pittsburgh where Justin Field is to start Week two, and
Mike Tomlin has said, we're monitoring Russell Wilson, watching him
very closely, but the expectation is that Justin Fields will
(28:09):
start this week. Why is this such a big week,
because this is the This is the biggest week that
Russell Wilson will have as far as being able to
stay a starting quarterback in the NFL. As much as
Mike Tomlin wants to go to Russell Wilson he's got
the starry eyed high school look for him, like he's
(28:29):
someone sitting in at his desk staring at someone he's
got a crush on during the entire English lesson, Like
that's the way he's been with Russell Wilson over justin Fields.
But the reality is this, justin Fields without a lot
of reps played fine on Sunday, right he can. No
one's saying that brock Perdy played bad because the forty
nine ers kick six field goals. Yes, kick six field goals.
(28:50):
But he moved the team. He threw the football well
enough at a couple of big completions, and he made
plays with his legs and ran for almost sixty yards.
That's a pretty good day one for a guy that
was taking reps with the twos and not getting anything
with the ones. Yeah, when Wilson is hurt, you're getting
those reps. But still it's Wilson's job, it's his situation.
(29:10):
You're not getting that, you're not getting that treatment of
being a number one quarterback, and here he is playing. Okay. Now,
didn't blow the doors off, but he was a little
bit more than what the Steelers were hoping to get
from Wilson, manage the game, make a few plays here
and there, but Justin Fields can give you more than that.
We told you he's gonna win the job because he's
more dynamic than Russell Wilson. It's gonna happen to the Steelers.
As much as Mike Tomlin loves Wilson, he's gonna have
(29:33):
to make a change. But this is why this week
is so big. They played Denver and this should be
a win, right Denver. You don't want to three worst
teams in the league. This should be a win. And
as long as Justin Fields plays well and they win,
you can't go back to Russell Wilson. You cannot say, Okay, hey, great,
but this is Russ's gig. Well, you lose the locker room.
(29:54):
We're behind this guy. We've won two games. What are
you doing messing with the quarterback position? If Justin Field
stinks the rest of the season, okay, and maybe you
gotta make it, but you can't go back and once
Justin Fields takes this job and keeps getting the reps
and gets more comfortable, he's gonna run for one hundred
yards a week, throw for a couple hundred yards. This
offense is gonna move, and it is gonna hum, and
(30:17):
it is gonna be something to see. That's why this is.
If I'm Russell Wilson, I gotta do everything I can
to get cleared and go play and play well. Because
if I don't get to play and they and they
and the Steelers win and they're two to zero and
Fields plays well, it's justin Fields's job and maybe Russ
is finishing as a backup.
Speaker 3 (30:33):
Yeah, I mean, Field's did a good job this week
getting the ball out to the edges. Eventually in theory, uh,
they'll use the middle of the field.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
But it's all about playing unnecessarily. If you don't have
to use the middle of the field, don't use it.
Speaker 3 (30:46):
No, Hey, if you can, if you can complete the
high level of passes that he did this week.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
Greg Maddicks never used the middle of the strike zone.
He just wanted the edges. That's not well, yeah, the middle.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
If you can paint on the edges, all the better.
But the run game will.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
Be better with Harris and Warren because Warren certainly isn't
one hundred percent at the moment. The hope is that
he gets right and finds his way but as we know,
it's difficult to get right in the middle of an
NFL season, you know, taking contact, et cetera. But you've
got the two headed monster. Priarmuth will be a bigger
factor for them, But the key is, as long as
he doesn't put the ball in Harm's way, they're gonna
(31:27):
win their share of games. Defense is gonna be good
enough to keep them in a lot of games, and
offensively it can't be as bad as it's been the
last five years. Right since Roethlisberger left. You're looking at
a team that was in the bottom ten what for
the last five seasons. So a little bit of efficiency
gets us to where you're a five hundred team or better,
(31:50):
and you're knocking on the playoff door again, which is unbelievable.
Right again, I talked about narratives coming into Week one.
Here's the Bears eight and a half wins and everybody
with great aspirations, and then the Steelers sky is falling
over under win total in Vegas eight and a half.
So here we are one to know with a win
over Atlanta and Field's played well and as long as
(32:12):
he takes care of football, he's gonna have the favor
of Mike Tomlin, and he's got the locker room and
the fans, and his postgame presser was everything. The guy
was happy for another chance. Seems like he and feels
like he's found a home there. So yeah, if there's
not an eleventh hour Russell Wilson activation, it's Field's job
until he gags it away.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
Exit out about a Fresca exit swollen dome. This is
the biggest week for Russell Wilson's career as a starting
quarterback because it could be over after this. Gotta play.
If you don't justin fields right now, Isaac Lohancroft, when
you do some high knees in the wide world of sports,
hi needs a thirty thousand feet justin fields. Do it
even in the mile high air? Do those high knees
(32:55):
you too?
Speaker 6 (32:56):
I Loo, I thought you were commanding meeted, I mean,
should get those knees up. You think I can do it.
Let's go of an adjustable microphone.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
I'm game.
Speaker 6 (33:05):
If you are all right, here we go, Here we go, America.
He's up in his right high knees. Carmon's watching me.
Speaker 1 (33:13):
He is he.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
Feels likes all right, all right.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
Like it's nineteen eighty six really escalated.
Speaker 6 (33:22):
All right, fellas, here we go in Major League Baseball
on Tuesday night, the Chicago Cubs put those camera phones away.
The Chicago Cubs used a five run eighth inning to
beat the Los Angeles Dodgers six to three. Cubs got
two spectacular catches from centerfielder Pete crow Armstrong, including this
one to close out the game. With Max Munsey of
the Dodgers at the plate, here was the fantastic Pat
(33:46):
hughes On WSCR.
Speaker 4 (33:48):
Swinging a high fly ball deep right center field, Lacus
Karmstrong near the fence leaping up. They made the cups,
They took a home run away from Max Mounsey, and
the Cubs win the ball game. Bag crow Armstrong with
a dazzling display of defense.
Speaker 6 (34:07):
Tonight, Dodger pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto struck out eight and four
innings at his first start since June fifteenth. He'd been
out since then because of a triceps injury. Manny Machado
became the San Diego Padres all time home run leader
in a seven to three wit at Seattle. Machado now
with one hundred and sixty four career home runs surpassing
(34:28):
the late great Nate Colbert. One note about Nate Colbert.
He was a three time All Star, but in a
double header against the Atlanta Braves on August first of
nineteen seventy two, Colbert hit five home runs, had thirteen
rbi and twenty two total bases in that doubleheader. Arizona's
(34:48):
Christian Walker at two home run at a six to
ninhing victory at Texas. Zack Gallan struck out seven and
five innings for his twelfth win of the season Milwaukee
at three to two win at San Francisco, and the
Oakland A's and twelve innings went at Houston four to three.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
So I'm done. I actually done.
Speaker 3 (35:06):
You got your cardio in while you did your your
news update as well.
Speaker 2 (35:10):
At this point, they're really low knees. Let's be honest,
that's all right.
Speaker 6 (35:13):
Yeah, you know what I noticed though, The tight jeans
actually gives it resistance and tension. So if you're doing
high knees and shorts are not tight shorts or pants,
it's actually much easier, but the tight jeans actually provides resistance.
Speaker 2 (35:34):
Back to you.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
The Isaac Low and Krown workout tape will be available online.
Right after the show is over.
Speaker 2 (35:41):
He got as much of a workout as crow Armstrong did.
Going back, he got it.
Speaker 1 (35:46):
Look one crow Armstrong catch was because he horribly misjudged
the ball, but still three goods.
Speaker 3 (35:51):
Well they all thought it was gone, so he was
going to the wall thinking he was gonna need to
rob Shoho Tani back.
Speaker 2 (35:59):
What's at the warning?
Speaker 1 (36:00):
Oh flyout? Are you uh exit out? About a fresca
exit swelling down? The Jason Smith Show with My best

I'm not on snapface and all that?
Speaker 1 (36:37):
No new he is now you're on instant chat.
Speaker 3 (36:40):
You're there?
Speaker 1 (36:42):
Look at that Bill. In one year, Bill Belichick has
gone from I'm not on snap face and instant chat.
I treat the media with disdain. I don't need to
talk to him. One of the greatest coaches ever too.
Now I got to hang out with Pat McAfee and
get on the internet to stay relevant. Like one year,
it's changed so much for no.
Speaker 2 (37:00):
Hey, look, life comes at you fast.
Speaker 3 (37:03):
You get enough people in your ear to say, how
do you rebrand and reimagine yourself in this next generation
when there's not a job to be had on the
sidelines coaching.
Speaker 1 (37:15):
So yeah, you lean in.
Speaker 3 (37:17):
You got your young girlfriend, you got a different circle
of influence perhaps, and maybe you just said screw it,
let's see what this is all about, and it'll make
me a lot of money, because now I have thirty
seven jobs.
Speaker 1 (37:31):
Now I'm glad you say money, because that gets us
to this story. Out of college foot straight Cash Peyton Forn,
Auburn quarterback, had a rough game last week. They lost
to Cal Saturday, twenty one to fourteen. Acc col He
threw four picks in the game and he went on
The Next Round a TV show Slash podcast today and
(37:53):
he said that betters have messaged him on Venmo asking
for money. Quote, they're definitely not sending cash. He wants
to make sure. He says that, I want to make
sure you know betters are not sending me money. Okay,
just just let me just right right away. So let
me know they're not sending me cash. But quote, it's funny.
When they lose money, they want their money back, But
(38:15):
when they win money on a parlay, no one's ever
sent me any of the money. Again, you don't want
people sending you money. You don't want gamblers sending you
money if you are a quarterback. But I love that
people are getting Gamblers are just bold, man, they're getting
they're getting on. I'm hey, I know where he is.
I know his Venmo line. So now I'm gonna be
gonna get on there and say, hey, dude, you owe
(38:36):
me some cash. Man, those four picks I bet you
guys last week and I didn't win. Like this is
seeing this gambling is this is this is how I
feel where sports is headed and and why in college
sports it's a real slippery slope because you're talking about
athletes and and and a situation where it's not as
easy to relegate as the NFL is when it comes
(38:57):
to gambling and money that pours in that could potentially
pour in people's hands, young kids making tough decisions. Is
that you know when you go to you go to
a park of some kind, and some parks, boy, the
squirrels come right up to you and and fee and
you can feed them because they're so used to being
around people. Boy, they're really brazen, you know, or you
(39:19):
know anything else any of Yeah, yeah, they're coming right
up to you because they don't have any fear of
it because they're used to being around people. They're used
to this now and oh you got food, I'm walking
right up to you. I kind of feel like that's
where gambling in college football is headed. Where betters are
are no longer. Hey, how do we get there? We
(39:39):
should stay away. We want gambling to succeed. Now it's
like nope, people that gamble, Nope, I'm going to find
a player and I have no problem you know, messaging
them on the internet, contacting them somehow. That's where the
NCAA really has to has to dig down because as
more time that goes on, the line is going to
be blurred to wear. Hey, gamble's gonna thay. I can
(40:02):
contact any player I want to at anytime, and sometimes
it'll be in fun. Sometimes it's gonna be Hey, so
tough game this weekend. Probably not gonna win. Can you
guarantee me you're not gonna win? Like that's that's the
next level of where this is headed, because things are
just getting so brazen now in the st Yeah, I
think it was.
Speaker 3 (40:17):
It's always been there and now you're just looking at
it from the markets, and and they're regulated and watched
like hawks. I mean, where there's some embtting irregularities, the
flags go up and investigation start. So I think it's
it's a curious space for sure. I mean we talked
about it last week. Thirty five billion dollars bet legally,
(40:40):
what's the shadow money? So multiply that out. But I
like the Venmo thing. That's that's nice and unique and
not surprising. I'm sure we'll hear more of those tales
as well of guys trying to get their payback for
the loss. Hey, you you NLT down and cost me
that extra yard. It's all your fault.
Speaker 1 (41:00):
Smith exit out about a Fresca exit swollen dome. And
now before we head out for Ben Maer, let me
say this. I have to give all kinds of props
to Isaac Low and Cron who actually did high kneed
like Russell Wilson at thirty thousand feet during his update, Harmon,
you got the video, put it out there as long
as Ilo says. It's okay. I did not get the

About that, let's go.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
You are meeting Mike Harmon. Prepare yourself. Prepare yourself. Prepare yourself. Prepare.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
If I were a little bit taller, I'd try to
replicate the outfit of the grand Master.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
You taller, you were a baller, you know.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
No.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Look, if I.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
Had the lanky, uh prepared body type of gold blue,
I can pull that off.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Prepare yourself.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
I'm a short, stocky fire plug.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Of a man. Prepare yourself. Is he wearing purple shorts?
Prepare yourself. Prepare yourself.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
It's hard to prepare yourself for a guy that walked
into the room with some purple shorts, man, because you
know the party has arrived.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
But last night we started talking about the situation with
quarterbacks being unlike any season. I can remember after Week
one where we talk about so many quarterbacks that could
be losing their jobs, right, and maybe it's just a
combination of the there's a lot of players who are
on their last chance. But I can't remember the last
time after Week one quarterback changes were such a big story. Right.
(02:31):
We told you last night that Deshaun Watson era is
coming to an end in Cleveland, probably in a couple
of weeks. They're not gonna go through him just playing
like he's a guy and not invested in the quarterback
position and not getting anything out of him. They're not
gonna do it. They went through it all last year.
They know you're not You know you're not gonna get
great football from him. You will see Jameis Winston and
(02:52):
they will figure out the money in the offseason, just
like the Niners said, Hey, we're gonna give all our
players money. Now, we'll figure out the eight guys making
fifteen million dollars a year in the offseason after a
hoisting Lombardi Trophy will figure out the money. Then the
Browns are gonna figure out the money. Then we'll fit
whatever it is. Salary cap keeps going up. They can
do so many things happening. They will figure out the money.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
That, Yeah, Randy Newman saying it's money that matters in
this particular case, it's sunk cost and at some point
the organization has to move forward. And right now you're
just sputtering, and so to keep putting this drek out
there week after week. Now you've got more law suits
and other things pending there. Yes, you feel from a
(03:35):
human side, you know how much was he ready for
week one with the death of his father, you know,
and all this hanging over so trying to figure all
that out. But what you do know is that the
play in the games that he's been available for the
Browns had been subpar. And that's being kind.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Yeah, look, and you got it right, because it's money
that matters. Sounds a lot better than it sunk costs that.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Matter, like carite that.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Yeah, alliteration always works much better in a song, always does.
But a couple other guys that are way closer to
being replaced than you think they are. We'll go with
the easy guy first. And it may be easy just
because I could read the t leaves so well. But
my bold prediction that the Giants will have started three
quarterbacks by week ten. I feel great about that they'll
(04:23):
be starting Tommy Cutlets by week ten because Daniel Jones
is just circling the drain. Okay, when you are getting
booed after your second play from scrimmage, and that's what
happened to Daniel Jones. When you have such an awful
first game, new offensive weapons, new everything, and after the game,
(04:43):
your coach has to defend you and say, I am
not making a quarterback change right now. When you're talking
about a quarterback change after week one, how long until
it's really going to happen.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Yeah, to answer the question, I get it, but.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
It's like, but that's what you answer and say, next question, right,
move on, move on. But I'm not. I'm not contemplating
a quarterback change. Look, and Dabel knows that I'm kind
of hooked into Daniel Jones because I'm not gonna be
around to break in the next quarterback. Look, the Giants
are tanking this year, right, We told they're tanking. It's
why they didn't make any moves in the offseason, why
they didn't go get a quarterback, because they know that
(05:15):
if they're bad this year, it's a new new GM,
new head coach, new quarterback. You don't want your Shane's
kit take it over. Well, yeah, Shane's kid at least
knows that. You know, it's about Daniel Jones, right, he's
a guy. But you know they're not gonna saddle a
new regime with a quarterback that they didn't draft, right,
they didn't draft JJ McCarthy because they know it could
be a new coach, new GM is McCarthy gonna work.
We're gonna be stuck with him. No, we're gonna tank
(05:38):
this year and we're gonna be ready for next year.
Dabel knows that, Okay, I'm going down with Daniel Jones,
but at some point he's going to know I have
to make a change because I got a win to
try to save my job. And they'll go Daniel Jones
to Drew Lock like week three, week four, and then
they'll go Drew Lock to Tommy CUTTLTZ by week nine
because the desire to see him when neither Drew Lock
(05:58):
nor Daniel Jones a winning games again to be so immense.
And it's gonna go along with the Giants plan of
tanking because none of these quarterbacks are any good. So, yeah,
he's going to lose his job soon. It's only it's
only a matter of time before they decide to cut
the cord and move on, right. It's it's it's really
of all the quarterback changes, that's the one I feel
(06:19):
that this is gonna happen first, and it's not gonna
be a shock. It'll be Deshaun Watson will still be
a shock to people who just want to ignore that
just because they're paying it doesn't mean he's gonna play.
The Giants are paying Daniel Jones doesn't mean he's gonna play.
So that's gonna be the first one that happens again
week fourish. With that, then you're gonna go a month
or so at Drew Locke. Then you have Tommy Cutletz
(06:39):
by week ten. That's how the season is gonna go
for the Giants.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
Yeah, but to show you, you know how the NFL
scheduling gods, small g uh put these things together.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
This week you get.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
The Giants on the road at Commanders one and a
half point underdogs are the Giants. Commanders aren't any good either,
so they could be one and one after this this
week's game.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Or Jayden Daniels could could show you this is what
you're missing from your team and he gives you another
thirty fantasy points and twenty eight points on the scoreboard,
and it's boy, they look great. They look like they
have energy. They've started over. And here's Daniel Jones, the
same offense that that really only worked for one season
and basically the last few games of one season. And
(07:23):
this is what you're missing. So while it could be
an opportunity for Whin, it's also an opportunity to be
shown that, oh, yeah, this is now now that I
have to believe that this is where you have to
go and I just got game that's out. No, but
because they were very But is there energy around Washington
and is there energy around having Jayden?
Speaker 2 (07:43):
There's a lot of energy around the giants. What are
you talking?
Speaker 1 (07:47):
You just use the energy, good energy, not bad.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
I got to make you specificity.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Like Information Society saying in the nineteen eighty nine pure energy,
Pure energy? Did it energy?
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Just you know, maybe Micah Parsons, the guy without his
contract to Dallas, was the voice of reason. We realize
the guy is just nine months removed from an ACL injury, right,
and that doesn't mean he was putting up world beating
numbers before he got his contract and I think Daniel
Jones is gonna be the next of the unfortunate guys that,
like we talked about a little bit with Yamamodo as
(08:23):
a savior for the Dodgers, is because of his contracts, Like, right,
you're that guy, because matter when he was back with Detroit,
remember Matthew Stafford was that guy. Yeah right, Oh you're
getting paid all that money, you're doing nothing. Now he
goes to the Rams and one after another, you hear
all the young quarterbacks that I love watching that guy
play Aaron Rodgers for the last decade, my favorite guy
(08:45):
to go up against and watch is Matthew Stafford. Suddenly
he goes to the Rams and Sean McVay and everybody
loves Matthew Stafford. Same guy, same guy, better team whatever.
But for Daniel Jones, right, he had a good year
to years ago. They get to the playoffs last year,
not a great start to things. But he gets hurt, right,
(09:06):
neck injury, followed by acl and now he's on the
comeback trail. We don't we don't give him any grace.
I get it, it's the Giants, it's New York, all
those things.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Well, boy, we.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
Make excuses for so many other people. Daniel Jones and
got people just looking to bury at every turn like
it's week one.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
That doesn't matter. It doesn't matter, It doesn't matter when
it's already that overwhelming for week one. It's just a
matter of no.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
But if he's gonna steak and he's that bad, then
you should. You should get every dime worth out of
what you're paying him.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
But you can't. But you can't. You can't. You want
people to still come to the games, you want to
pay those are television Okay, why do you think.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Tommy TV It's packages are already sold.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Tommy Cutlets had all kinds of headlines last year because hey,
at least he's interesting. It doesn't all right because the
guy's named Tommy Cutlets and he's got an agent that
was crazy, and he's gonna appear at pizza part And
then he wasn't appearing at pizza parlor trying to shake
him down for more money.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
That was That's where the Tommy Cutler's nickname really took old.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
He can have MetLife Stadium empty on a Sunday by Halloween.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
Come on, hey man, and if they're if they're eight,
it will be anyway.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
We're only going to show the lower bowl of met life. Okay,
no note shots above.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
Eh.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Once we get about fifteen rows from the field, that
things get dicey. So fifteen rows and down, that's all
we're gonna show you. So that's Daniel Jones like a event.
The bigger one is Kirk Cousins because Atlanta just looked
lost on Sunday. They didn't look like they were really
(10:42):
all on the same page. Offensively, trying to watch them
run there hurry up at the end of the game
was just comical. It was do they all really know
what's going on? Like when all the linemen are looking
back at him for the play because normally, you know,
wh you're running a hurrio at the lineman come up,
they hear, they hear the call, they get down. When
they're all looking back like what what? What's going on here?
Like you can tell they were in a lot of flux.
(11:04):
And Kirk Cousins didn't play well. Okay, I get it.
We told you Kirk Cousins is a bridge quarterback. His
salary is irrelevant. Once they drafted Michael Pennix Junior and
he showed that he was pretty good in the summer
Kirk Cousins is a bridge quarterback and he is only
there until it gets time to play Michael Pennix Junior.
(11:25):
And we told you the beginning of the year, if
Kirk Cousins is no good by week five, week six,
Michael Pennix is taking over. Forget about all the fish
raps you read to borrow to turn from Mike Harmon
about how oh well, there's no way Michael Pennock's not
gonna play this year. Kirk Cousins got such a big guy.
The money is irrelevant. He is a bridge quarterback and
(11:45):
deceie Raheem Morris say yesterday this is one of the
biggest things he said about anybody in Week one. Hey,
Kirk cousins struggles were not because of injury. Whoa, whoa,
because that's the one thing that you would think, well,
he still needs to find his way back. He's not
one hundred percent healthy coming off the devastating injury. When
your head coach as it wasn't because of injury, that's
(12:05):
alarm bells man. That's not a guy saying I'm in
on Kirk Cousins forever. He knows the organization at some
point is gonna have to turn the page to Michael
Pennick Junior, and he knows that we screwed up by
signing Kirk Cousins and then drafting the guy. Right. But this,
this is what Arthur Blank wanted. So this is now
the mess that you have to navigate. But they will
do the same thing as I said with the with
the with the Cleveland Browns. Kirk Cousins will sit and
(12:28):
they'll figure out the money in his situation at the
end of the year. Not only that, they will sit
him sooner rather than later, because the longer he plays
and the longer he stinks, the harder it's gonna be
to trade him in the offseason, the more money they're
gonna have to swallow, the less of a draft pick
they're gonna get. Because Kirk Cousins coming into the season,
he was a pretty big comodity. A guys played really well.
(12:49):
But boy coming off that injury, but man, hey, forty
million a year, Yeah, Kirk Cousins is still playing a
really high level. Awe, he'd be great for us if
he plays three or four weeks and his bad Hey,
you can easily spin the narrative that it's he still
wasn't he one hundred percent healthy, and he still had
to work his way back in, didn't get the reps.
We still love Kirk, but he really wasn't ready and
(13:11):
maybe we rushed him and that's our fault. But Michael
is our future. And then if you put Kirk Cousins
in mothballs, then it's much easier in the offseason to say, well, Okay,
the guys haven't played a lot in a couple of years,
but maybe he wasn't healthy. Maybe we can we can
take him. We'll take the contract off the Falcons hands.
You're not gonna get a lot as far as a
draft pick goes, but there's teams that are gonna be
(13:33):
dying for a quarterback, Graters, there's gonna be teams dying
for a quarterback. So it's easier to trade him. But
if he plays in Stinks for ten weeks, how are
you gonna trade him? What are you gonna do? How
do you move him if he plays more than half
the season. It's kind of like what the Rams did
with Jared Goff when he was a rookie. When he
played and all of a sudden they decided, oh, he's
not playing anymore, Well, we don't want to get him hit.
(13:53):
We don't want him to uh, you know, get injured
when really it was man, he's not good. And the
longer it goes him playing the tougher it's gonna be
to get him to be a good quarterback. So let's
shut him down now before things really get out of hand.
And they were able to massage Jared Goff and bring
him back. He got him to a super Bowl. Then
he was bad. Now he's with the Lions and he's
playing really, really well. But teams have done that before
(14:16):
and they'll do that. That's why the hook is gonna
come sooner for Kirk Cousins because they want to protect
him as an asset in the off season, and the
longer he plays and stinks less of an asset he is.
Speaker 4 (14:25):
Well.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
I mean the other thing is I mean you brought
him Jared Goff. I mean remember all of that to say,
where's my super Bowl ring Sean mcvahen company. But with
Kirk Cousins in this regard the fact that Raheem Morris
talks about him being healthy, that's not good for the company.
It's not good for the company to say it that way.
(14:46):
And the vaunted offensive line. Now you and I both
picked Tampa Bay. You have them going far than I did,
but for the division, looking at continuity and what they
have there, and obviously the change with no canals, but
either way, all the prince there, Mike Evan's still a beast,
Chris Godwin healthy and ready to go, all of that,
the depth a running back, right, Bucky Irving's.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Gonna be a guy. Everybody's on the waiver wire.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
But the point being that the division everybody had, you know,
and I use the term everybody, because the expectation was
that Atlanta, with Kirk Cousins under center, Bjon Robinson no
longer contained by whatever Arthur Smith was doing there, et cetera,
that they had enough. But the big thing that was
continually underscored was the offensive line. They were terrible against Pittsburgh.
(15:32):
Now it doesn't help that Kirk is a statue at
this point, right, there's no mobility there, so any margin
that they had to be less than great is gone.
But that was supposed to be a big selling point
of why they were a team not only to potentially
win the NFC South, but also to make a charge
(15:53):
to win the NFC overall, and instead they got absolutely
worked by that Pittsburgh front. As you would expect, you know,
Tomlin to have those guys ready in as so long
as TJ. Watt's healthy, I mean, he absolutely was a
menace during that game. So you'll face less daunting lines now.
The Eagles have plenty of depth and I shudder to
(16:15):
think what happens if Jalen Carter gets after Kirk Cousins
in this one. But the long of it is just
and just to take the long, long story short, is
you have aspirations. Your owner bought in thinking he had
a title team and this would push them over. And
when Pennix was there, they didn't flinch. They didn't go
(16:37):
for another position, they didn't dig deep. They said, wait,
this guy's available to us here, and they took him.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Now.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
It bucked conventional strategy and looked a lot like what
kirk Cousins was as the number two guy drafted in
Washington all those years ago. But the wind time is
now for Arthur Blank, it's not kicking that can down
the road. So if kirk Cousins is in better and
then the schedule the next three weeks is brutal for
(17:05):
them that you may see panics sooner rather than later,
to try to preserve this season and to your point,
preserve whatever value Kirk Cousins may still.

Speaker 1 (19:31):
Sports Radio, The Jason Smith Show with my best friend
Mike Harmon live fromthtire rack dot com Studios. I like that, Jay, well,
you know, because it makes me think of one of
my favorite things. We would always have a joke about
this at ESPN that our favorite moments were when Boomer
(19:53):
would do when Berman would do the home run derby,
and he would call every home like it was a
real home run. It's amazing, and it was like, you
gotta just you know, you see how it's evolved where
guys are hitting home runs and the analysts are talking
and the hosts are talking about what's happening, and oh boy,
he's really swinging the bat. Well, look at that another
(20:13):
home run. I really getting the pitch here. And instead
he would just call everyone. It would be back, back,
back back, and by the time it got like midway through,
his voice would be.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Like Burne, Yeah, God, buck Brook, Brick God, Like Okay,
you don't need to call it.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
You're gonna call all of Frank Thomas's twenty seven home
runs in the first round. Oh, that was just the way.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
You gotta give it all you got, right, I mean,
you have one one when there's no promise of tomorrow, no, no.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
And look, and that's where my Boermon impression comes from.
It's more Berman like week seventeen or week week fifteen
of the NFL season, where it's Okay, it's the middle
of winter, everybody's got a cold and Chargers trying to
get the win against the Steelers here Neil O'Donnell isn't like.
That's kind of where my my whole Berman comes from.
(21:04):
Is like it's the late in the season, like Week
fifteen of Primetime Berman. That yeah, not the not the
early part baseball tonight Berman of like April and May,
when it's at a no, no, no, it's okay, we're
just trying to get to the holidays now, Okay, we're
everybody's got some time off and everything. Okay, that's that's
that's that's what we're doing. That'shere we're going. But I
(21:26):
dig that. Now you wanted to talk about Sam Donald.
He is not worth a lot of time, But I
will I'll indulge you, Mike Carmen, because I kind of
dig that people already on social media have decided that
he's good again. Oh, Sam Donald is good.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
Okay, look man, it's a new season.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
Stuff came out strong, he played well, and Hope is
still alive.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
Okay, why can't you let a little hope into your life.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
That's a great spin. That's a great spin, man, No,
that's a great spin. That's a great spin. Sam Donald
played fine against a team that's one of the three
worse in the NFL. That's tanking. Okay, that's what Sam
Donald did. Sam Donald's on his fourth he won two, three, four,
fourth team. I watched him have a nice little new
start to his career in Carolina, and the Jets replaced
him with Zach Wilson, and then Sam Donald went to
(22:15):
Carolina and they won their first three games. Sam Donald
is still the same guy. He's still missing guys, still
missing receivers. Does he have more talent now than he
did have any Yes? Absolutely, no question that he's got that.
But I know the guy. I know the guy. He's
a quarterback. I know what he does. He's not suddenly
going to get it at twenty seven. He's not to
be able to throw it up every four plays to
(22:36):
Justin Jefferson and get a caught ball. He'll come back
to earth this week. I've seen this tape with Sam
Donald before. It's a great start, and I'm happy for
the guy because he has been nothing but class. The
Jets drafted him and then they moved on from him,
and Carolina got him and he had to battle with
Baker Mayfield. He lost the gig there back up in
(22:56):
San Francisco. He has always said the right things. He
has never jumped back out of the team. He has
never talked bad about anybody. He has carried his career
with class, and I dig out abouts. I'm a big
fan of Sam Darnold as when an athlete carrying himself,
but quarterback, we kind of know. Man, you can't tell
me all the Jets are getting it wrong. Look at
Geno Smith. Gino Smith is a backup for a bleeping decade.
(23:16):
He had one good year and now it's we gotta
move on from genius. Watch Gino Smith this week. I'm sorry,
Gino Smith is not great. He had one really good
year and I'm happy for the guy again, and he
turned it into a lot of money. And that's really awesome,
and he got paid and it'll it's a great way
for him to end his career. But Gino Smith is
not great man.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
That just means the life cycle of being in gen
It takes his decade to get it out of your system.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Gino Smith played one of the three worst teams in
the NFL and he barely won. So it's not like
suddenly these guys are leaving the Jets with great careers. Okay, Zach, wait.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
You've not put the Broncos in the bottom three.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
Not even Yes, the Bronco in the bottom three, the
Panthers in the bottom three, the Giants in the bottom
everybody's in the bottom three. They're all bottom three. But
but but that's where they with these teams. That's how
bad they are. And and for Geno Smith, it's a
decade in the end, one good year and now they
want to replace him. Zach Wilson's falling down the depth
chart and Sam Donald's on his fourth team. This is
not Hey, the Jets get rid of a guy, he
(24:15):
goes someplace else and becomes a star. That's different. You
want to anoint Sam Donald a star after one game? Okay,
how about this. How about we give him like five
or six games to see if he can really move
this Vikings offense a lot. Let's see, let's see how
they do this week. A little bit tougher sledding for
the Vikings this week. The Giants is one thing, but
now San Francisco and Houston. Hey, light up the scoreboard
(24:37):
with Houston. Let's see you do that. Right, Let's see
you do it at Green Bay. Let's see when you
come back to when you when the Jets come visit
you again with a much better defense than they had
when they let you go the first time around.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
Hey, don't be in London that the game we're exporting
Sam Donald and taking him international.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
Well, then you got the Lions and the Rams. Let
let's see you. Let's see you do it through those games,
and then hey, I'll be the first guy to tell you, Hey,
I'm not only is Sam Donald a class guy, but
look at the career resurgence he's having right now. But
one game and suddenly it's oh, he's great. And the
Jets stink because they're an easy target and I can't
get quarterbacks right now. It's true, they cannot get quarterbacks
(25:14):
right that's That's.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
What I was gonna say. And listen to the words.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
It's not back, it's not part of this guy. The
last guy they drafted who was any good they played
was Chad Pennington. And you're going a way back to
two thousand and two. Okay, so that's a long time ago.
But the Jets can't get quarterbacks right. But but it
doesn't mean they go someplace else and are great. It means,
but they can't get these quarterbacks right. The Jets draft
a guy no team should ever want to sign them ever.
Get Oh, the Jets drafted them. Not gonna work. Let's
(25:40):
move on somebody.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
Else, somebody else, somebody else. Remember Chad Pennington drafted in
the two thousand draft. So you got that going for
you there. But at Sam Darnal.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
Too, he became when he became a big wish became
a star. He's like a video game in two thousand
and ten.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
Absolutely, and this is that behind him. Have any now
you're talking, But yeah, go back to you know those
two thousand I'm gonna bring you in some Chad Pennington
rookie cards just to taunt you, and I'll wish I
could have converted them into Tom Brady's from that year.
But we'll talk about that another time. But to your point,
for Sam Darnold, yes, that schedule ahead is daunting, and
(26:18):
if he can navigate that, he's there. All I'm going
off is one week and it was a fine week,
an efficient week. And maybe Kevin O'Connell and before that, Shanahan,
maybe they're able to coke something a little more and
find some shades of that guy that was drafted years ago.
(26:39):
You know that your team ruined. No, but just the idea,
But just the idea. He is only twenty seven years old. Like,
that's the thing is like on a relative basis, based
on where guys used to finish their collegiate career and
then sit on their asses for two to three years
before they became the starter. I mean, he's right on
(27:00):
part where he should just be getting going. So he's
got plenty, plenty of my experience seeing the spin I'm
doing here, a lot of stuff. I'm spinning my wheels.
I'm like Fred Flintstone trying to get my car started.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
But it's the.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
See I mean, it ties together so well with Chris Burden.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
But I don't know about that front. I don't know
Sam Donald's any good front, Sam Donal's gonna throw in
receptions at Denal fred front. I don't think that's gonna happen.
Speaker 3 (27:27):
As long as they've exercised the demons that he doesn't
see ghosts anymore.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
I don't know about that front front. I really don't
know freend uh So, they're Sam dark now quite like
you like my Barney, and press's a pretty good Barney impression.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
That we could throw in some gazoo.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
But he's like, oh yes, dum dumbs, Bundy's not gonna
look up front. Are people under the age of fifty
don't get this front? I don't get him. Uh So,
from Sam Donald to what's going on right now in
Pittsburgh where Justin Field is to start Week two, and
Mike Tomlin has said, we're monitoring Russell Wilson, watching him
very closely, but the expectation is that Justin Fields will
(28:09):
start this week. Why is this such a big week,
because this is the This is the biggest week that
Russell Wilson will have as far as being able to
stay a starting quarterback in the NFL. As much as
Mike Tomlin wants to go to Russell Wilson he's got
the starry eyed high school look for him, like he's
(28:29):
someone sitting in at his desk staring at someone he's
got a crush on during the entire English lesson, Like
that's the way he's been with Russell Wilson over justin Fields.
But the reality is this, justin Fields without a lot
of reps played fine on Sunday, right he can. No
one's saying that brock Perdy played bad because the forty
nine ers kick six field goals. Yes, kick six field goals.
(28:50):
But he moved the team. He threw the football well
enough at a couple of big completions, and he made
plays with his legs and ran for almost sixty yards.
That's a pretty good day one for a guy that
was taking reps with the twos and not getting anything
with the ones. Yeah, when Wilson is hurt, you're getting
those reps. But still it's Wilson's job, it's his situation.
(29:10):
You're not getting that, you're not getting that treatment of
being a number one quarterback, and here he is playing. Okay. Now,
didn't blow the doors off, but he was a little
bit more than what the Steelers were hoping to get
from Wilson, manage the game, make a few plays here
and there, but Justin Fields can give you more than that.
We told you he's gonna win the job because he's
more dynamic than Russell Wilson. It's gonna happen to the Steelers.
As much as Mike Tomlin loves Wilson, he's gonna have
(29:33):
to make a change. But this is why this week
is so big. They played Denver and this should be
a win, right Denver. You don't want to three worst
teams in the league. This should be a win. And
as long as Justin Fields plays well and they win,
you can't go back to Russell Wilson. You cannot say, Okay, hey, great,
but this is Russ's gig. Well, you lose the locker room.
(29:54):
We're behind this guy. We've won two games. What are
you doing messing with the quarterback position? If Justin Field
stinks the rest of the season, okay, and maybe you
gotta make it, but you can't go back and once
Justin Fields takes this job and keeps getting the reps
and gets more comfortable, he's gonna run for one hundred
yards a week, throw for a couple hundred yards. This
offense is gonna move, and it is gonna hum, and
(30:17):
it is gonna be something to see. That's why this is.
If I'm Russell Wilson, I gotta do everything I can
to get cleared and go play and play well. Because
if I don't get to play and they and they
and the Steelers win and they're two to zero and
Fields plays well, it's justin Fields's job and maybe Russ
is finishing as a backup.
Speaker 3 (30:33):
Yeah, I mean, Field's did a good job this week
getting the ball out to the edges. Eventually in theory, uh,
they'll use the middle of the field.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
But it's all about playing unnecessarily. If you don't have
to use the middle of the field, don't use it.
Speaker 3 (30:46):
No, Hey, if you can, if you can complete the
high level of passes that he did this week.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
Greg Maddicks never used the middle of the strike zone.
He just wanted the edges. That's not well, yeah, the middle.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
If you can paint on the edges, all the better.
But the run game will.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
Be better with Harris and Warren because Warren certainly isn't
one hundred percent at the moment. The hope is that
he gets right and finds his way but as we know,
it's difficult to get right in the middle of an
NFL season, you know, taking contact, et cetera. But you've
got the two headed monster. Priarmuth will be a bigger
factor for them, But the key is, as long as
he doesn't put the ball in Harm's way, they're gonna
(31:27):
win their share of games. Defense is gonna be good
enough to keep them in a lot of games, and
offensively it can't be as bad as it's been the
last five years. Right since Roethlisberger left. You're looking at
a team that was in the bottom ten what for
the last five seasons. So a little bit of efficiency
gets us to where you're a five hundred team or better,
(31:50):
and you're knocking on the playoff door again, which is unbelievable.
Right again, I talked about narratives coming into Week one.
Here's the Bears eight and a half wins and everybody
with great aspirations, and then the Steelers sky is falling
over under win total in Vegas eight and a half.
So here we are one to know with a win
over Atlanta and Field's played well and as long as
(32:12):
he takes care of football, he's gonna have the favor
of Mike Tomlin, and he's got the locker room and
the fans, and his postgame presser was everything. The guy
was happy for another chance. Seems like he and feels
like he's found a home there. So yeah, if there's
not an eleventh hour Russell Wilson activation, it's Field's job
until he gags it away.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
Exit out about a Fresca exit swollen dome. This is
the biggest week for Russell Wilson's career as a starting
quarterback because it could be over after this. Gotta play.
If you don't justin fields right now, Isaac Lohancroft, when
you do some high knees in the wide world of sports,
hi needs a thirty thousand feet justin fields. Do it
even in the mile high air? Do those high knees
(32:55):
you too?
Speaker 6 (32:56):
I Loo, I thought you were commanding meeted, I mean,
should get those knees up. You think I can do it.
Let's go of an adjustable microphone.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
I'm game.
Speaker 6 (33:05):
If you are all right, here we go, Here we go, America.
He's up in his right high knees. Carmon's watching me.
Speaker 1 (33:13):
He is he.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
Feels likes all right, all right.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
Like it's nineteen eighty six really escalated.
Speaker 6 (33:22):
All right, fellas, here we go in Major League Baseball
on Tuesday night, the Chicago Cubs put those camera phones away.
The Chicago Cubs used a five run eighth inning to
beat the Los Angeles Dodgers six to three. Cubs got
two spectacular catches from centerfielder Pete crow Armstrong, including this
one to close out the game. With Max Munsey of
the Dodgers at the plate, here was the fantastic Pat
(33:46):
hughes On WSCR.
Speaker 4 (33:48):
Swinging a high fly ball deep right center field, Lacus
Karmstrong near the fence leaping up. They made the cups,
They took a home run away from Max Mounsey, and
the Cubs win the ball game. Bag crow Armstrong with
a dazzling display of defense.
Speaker 6 (34:07):
Tonight, Dodger pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto struck out eight and four
innings at his first start since June fifteenth. He'd been
out since then because of a triceps injury. Manny Machado
became the San Diego Padres all time home run leader
in a seven to three wit at Seattle. Machado now
with one hundred and sixty four career home runs surpassing
(34:28):
the late great Nate Colbert. One note about Nate Colbert.
He was a three time All Star, but in a
double header against the Atlanta Braves on August first of
nineteen seventy two, Colbert hit five home runs, had thirteen
rbi and twenty two total bases in that doubleheader. Arizona's
(34:48):
Christian Walker at two home run at a six to
ninhing victory at Texas. Zack Gallan struck out seven and
five innings for his twelfth win of the season Milwaukee
at three to two win at San Francisco, and the
Oakland A's and twelve innings went at Houston four to three.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
So I'm done. I actually done.
Speaker 3 (35:06):
You got your cardio in while you did your your
news update as well.
Speaker 2 (35:10):
At this point, they're really low knees. Let's be honest,
that's all right.
Speaker 6 (35:13):
Yeah, you know what I noticed though, The tight jeans
actually gives it resistance and tension. So if you're doing
high knees and shorts are not tight shorts or pants,
it's actually much easier, but the tight jeans actually provides resistance.
Speaker 2 (35:34):
Back to you.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
The Isaac Low and Krown workout tape will be available online.
Right after the show is over.
Speaker 2 (35:41):
He got as much of a workout as crow Armstrong did.
Going back, he got it.
Speaker 1 (35:46):
Look one crow Armstrong catch was because he horribly misjudged
the ball, but still three goods.
Speaker 3 (35:51):
Well they all thought it was gone, so he was
going to the wall thinking he was gonna need to
rob Shoho Tani back.
Speaker 2 (35:59):
What's at the warning?
Speaker 1 (36:00):
Oh flyout? Are you uh exit out? About a fresca
exit swelling down? The Jason Smith Show with My best

I'm not on snapface and all that?
Speaker 1 (36:37):
No new he is now you're on instant chat.
Speaker 3 (36:40):
You're there?
Speaker 1 (36:42):
Look at that Bill. In one year, Bill Belichick has
gone from I'm not on snap face and instant chat.
I treat the media with disdain. I don't need to
talk to him. One of the greatest coaches ever too.
Now I got to hang out with Pat McAfee and
get on the internet to stay relevant. Like one year,
it's changed so much for no.
Speaker 2 (37:00):
Hey, look, life comes at you fast.
Speaker 3 (37:03):
You get enough people in your ear to say, how
do you rebrand and reimagine yourself in this next generation
when there's not a job to be had on the
sidelines coaching.
Speaker 1 (37:15):
So yeah, you lean in.
Speaker 3 (37:17):
You got your young girlfriend, you got a different circle
of influence perhaps, and maybe you just said screw it,
let's see what this is all about, and it'll make
me a lot of money, because now I have thirty
seven jobs.
Speaker 1 (37:31):
Now I'm glad you say money, because that gets us
to this story. Out of college foot straight Cash Peyton Forn,
Auburn quarterback, had a rough game last week. They lost
to Cal Saturday, twenty one to fourteen. Acc col He
threw four picks in the game and he went on
The Next Round a TV show Slash podcast today and
(37:53):
he said that betters have messaged him on Venmo asking
for money. Quote, they're definitely not sending cash. He wants
to make sure. He says that, I want to make
sure you know betters are not sending me money. Okay,
just just let me just right right away. So let
me know they're not sending me cash. But quote, it's funny.
When they lose money, they want their money back, But
(38:15):
when they win money on a parlay, no one's ever
sent me any of the money. Again, you don't want
people sending you money. You don't want gamblers sending you
money if you are a quarterback. But I love that
people are getting Gamblers are just bold, man, they're getting
they're getting on. I'm hey, I know where he is.
I know his Venmo line. So now I'm gonna be
gonna get on there and say, hey, dude, you owe
(38:36):
me some cash. Man, those four picks I bet you
guys last week and I didn't win. Like this is
seeing this gambling is this is this is how I
feel where sports is headed and and why in college
sports it's a real slippery slope because you're talking about
athletes and and and a situation where it's not as
easy to relegate as the NFL is when it comes
(38:57):
to gambling and money that pours in that could potentially
pour in people's hands, young kids making tough decisions. Is
that you know when you go to you go to
a park of some kind, and some parks, boy, the
squirrels come right up to you and and fee and
you can feed them because they're so used to being
around people. Boy, they're really brazen, you know, or you
(39:19):
know anything else any of Yeah, yeah, they're coming right
up to you because they don't have any fear of
it because they're used to being around people. They're used
to this now and oh you got food, I'm walking
right up to you. I kind of feel like that's
where gambling in college football is headed. Where betters are
are no longer. Hey, how do we get there? We
(39:39):
should stay away. We want gambling to succeed. Now it's
like nope, people that gamble, Nope, I'm going to find
a player and I have no problem you know, messaging
them on the internet, contacting them somehow. That's where the
NCAA really has to has to dig down because as
more time that goes on, the line is going to
be blurred to wear. Hey, gamble's gonna thay. I can
(40:02):
contact any player I want to at anytime, and sometimes
it'll be in fun. Sometimes it's gonna be Hey, so
tough game this weekend. Probably not gonna win. Can you
guarantee me you're not gonna win? Like that's that's the
next level of where this is headed, because things are
just getting so brazen now in the st Yeah, I
think it was.
Speaker 3 (40:17):
It's always been there and now you're just looking at
it from the markets, and and they're regulated and watched
like hawks. I mean, where there's some embtting irregularities, the
flags go up and investigation start. So I think it's
it's a curious space for sure. I mean we talked
about it last week. Thirty five billion dollars bet legally,
(40:40):
what's the shadow money? So multiply that out. But I
like the Venmo thing. That's that's nice and unique and
not surprising. I'm sure we'll hear more of those tales
as well of guys trying to get their payback for
the loss. Hey, you you NLT down and cost me
that extra yard. It's all your fault.
Speaker 1 (41:00):
Smith exit out about a Fresca exit swollen dome. And
now before we head out for Ben Maer, let me
say this. I have to give all kinds of props
to Isaac Low and Cron who actually did high kneed
like Russell Wilson at thirty thousand feet during his update, Harmon,
you got the video, put it out there as long
as Ilo says. It's okay. I did not get the
(41:21):
Brdloing crown for my I'm Jason Exit. How about a
