Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Roger, let me ask you one question.

Speaker 2 (00:07):
The North Florida Sports Network.

Speaker 3 (00:17):
Football Football the .

Speaker 2 (00:25):
North Florida Sports Network.
All right, welcome back.
It is just another FootballMonday as we're getting into it.
A lot of good games, A lot ofbig games to look forward to.

(00:46):
But first we've got to lookback.
Crazy finishes, special teamsplays, block kicks, punt returns
, I mean every game came down tothe wire in the NFL.
It seems like yeah, sure did.

(01:11):
Florida oof.
Flagway oof.

Speaker 3 (01:19):
And he's bad.

Speaker 2 (01:25):
Florida State played Kent State to care business.
A little scare there.
Huh with Castellanos.
Yeah, a little ankle, but he's,he's okay.
He says I didn't see any of it,I was reading.
It got rolled up on.

Speaker 3 (01:45):
People are losing their minds on the line.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
Oh yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:49):
Yeah, I know.

Speaker 2 (01:52):
I mean, just two seasons ago, everything came
dropping down.
I couldn't see why not.
They'd be losing their minds.

Speaker 3 (01:59):
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:02):
That play Miami Florida State has been announced
the kickoff time, that is, itis going to be prime time under
the lights.
But just one more game has tobe played before that game, and
it's Florida State and Virginiaon Friday night.
Trap game.

Speaker 3 (02:22):
I just want to put this out there Virginia's got a
good offense that in years thatthey've played each other
they've ended in five.
Uh-oh, we have lost in Virginia.
Uh-oh, why are you getting him1995-2005.
Didn't play him in 2015.

(02:42):
Those heartbreaking losses too.

Speaker 2 (02:44):
Yep, we'll talk about that game, but first we'll
react to the games.
This past week College.
There weren't that many goodgames, but we had a couple good
matchups Oklahoma beat Auburn,you know.

(03:05):
Yeah, miami's now number two.

Speaker 3 (03:10):
I'll tell you, oklahoma's defense looks
legitimate.
Still don't know what to makeof that offense.
I like the quarterback.
Yeah, you dig into the numbersand they're not as good as you
would expect, but he plays withsome fire.

Speaker 2 (03:34):
Yep.
Well, fsu played with a lot offire power.
They've been just beating thecrap out of everybody, setting
records left and right, roundingthe ball for 500 damn yards.
According to Mark Rick, though,that's just what Gus likes to
do.
Yeah, Well, it is I mean whynot Right, you play to execute,

(03:56):
get it where your players you'regoing to need them to have
counters and be comfortable.
I mean Danzy again shows out.
It's fun to watch.

Speaker 3 (04:10):
You don't want to break out a bunch of stuff
playing these two teams either.
You want to keep it simple.

Speaker 2 (04:16):
Right.
Well, I mean the way he runshis offense.
It's like all right, I'mshowing you stuff, but which one
are you going to stop?
Because we're trying to zig andthen you zag.
If you zag, we'll zig.
So if you can establish Danzyat receiver, if you can

(04:38):
establish him running the ballreverses, and then you have
stuff that's going to open upother things I would look for
Danzy to throw the ball at somepoint in this season, because
it's what he did at Auburn.

Speaker 3 (04:52):
I mean you can go and just look up clips after clips
of him doing the exact samething.

Speaker 2 (04:58):
He's setting up stuff on other stuff.
I think he's got a bunch ofstuff to set up, so I'm not
worried about that.
I think he's got a bunch ofstuff to set up, so I'm not
worried about that.
This team has two of the bestcoordinators in the country, I
think, right now, in terms ofwhere they are in their careers
and just what they're getting.
I mean, you look at theturnaround.

(05:18):
Damn sure better than what theyhad last year.
Yeah, yeah they had last year.

Speaker 3 (05:33):
Yeah, so fsu, other than the castellanos scare, but
he says he's okay, you gottatake him at his word.
Um, you know, I I also.
They can't be happy aboutgiving up that long touchdown
either yeah, that's one play.

Speaker 2 (05:43):
Yeah, it was a good play it was.
I mean, it was a.
It was one of those you looklike it's gonna.
It was a run and then he justthrew it right, but it's
something to work on.
I mean, you're gonna have aoffense and you're gonna be
playing on the road for thefirst time.
You're gonna be playing one ofthe better offenses in the

(06:04):
country statistically yeah,their quarterback chandler
morris, he's uh, he's a legit qbman, he's.

Speaker 3 (06:12):
He's good.
He's better than what virginiahas had at qb in quite a while.
Um, honestly, they could veryeasily be undefeated.
They probably should have beatNC State at home.

Speaker 2 (06:27):
Oh, yeah, they played .

Speaker 3 (06:35):
NC State on the road man.
No, I'm pretty sure they didEither way, they should have won
it.

Speaker 2 (06:48):
Yes, they should have won it, but they lost to NC
State at NC State 35-31.
Like I said, should have won onthe road against NC State.
They beat William Mary 55-16.
They beat Stanford 48-20 thislast week, so this Saturday
they'll be hosting Florida State.
Louis Reddick will be doing thegame.

(07:09):
Great, terrific.

Speaker 3 (07:13):
It's Friday actually.

Speaker 2 (07:14):
Yeah, it's Friday, that's why we're talking about
it.

Speaker 3 (07:16):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (07:20):
So they look like the offense.
The defense will be tested likeit hasn't been yet, being on
the road against a good offense.

Speaker 3 (07:30):
Yeah, the quarterback , that's actually dynamic, that
can run the ball.

Speaker 2 (07:36):
The offense will be tested too, in terms of being in
an environment where it's goingto be probably a sellout.
It's going to be the only gameon and it's going to be
everybody looking to.
You know, be fsu, so it'll.
It'll be a nervous environment,but I think fsu rolls they.

(08:02):
I'm looking forward to seeingthis show on the road and we'll
find out.
I had this game circled alloffseason.
It's really your only road testof the first half of the season
.

Speaker 3 (08:20):
Yeah, so Road games get a little more interesting.

Speaker 2 (08:26):
second part of the season man, the whole season
opens up this week.
In terms of just the nationalschedule as well.
You have some really good games.
You have oregon, penn state,you have alabama, georgia those
are all coming up this weekend.
So college football, it's apark your ass saturday and and

(08:49):
watch some great games after.
Hopefully, fsu with the big winfriday night.
I mean it hopefully get someguys for that game too, in terms
of uh production back andPittman and White on offense in
particular, and maybe you'll seethe freshman D-tackle win

(09:11):
hopefully on the line.
I mean those are bigcontributing players.
Especially, I like White onoffense.
I think that's another threatand in this offense, when you
can have a threat deep man,that's just going to be.
There's just going to be playswhere stuff's wide open as much

(09:33):
as the team runs the ball LikeVirginia's got to look at this
film and be like, oh my God, wegot to.

Speaker 3 (09:39):
Well, Virginia, struggles to stop the run anyway
.
Right, they're down a fewoffensive linemen.
Listen, if this team is goingto be, you know, if the
expectations are there and theyreally are going to contend,

(09:59):
there's one team on the schedulethat you have an excuse to lose
to, right.

Speaker 2 (10:04):
And we play that team after this week right, um, but
this every week becomes aboutjust handling business right and
this is a test of handlingbusiness in an environment that
you haven't done that yet withthis team.
I, I think short week, you know, you had a quarterback hasn't
played since he tweaked hisankle.

(10:26):
They didn't put him back inright, um, so there's a little.
You know this is going to be.
There's going to be someadversity, it'll hit, but I I
like this team.
I think this team just going tokeep grinding.
I think it has a lot ofdifferent wrinkles, especially

(10:48):
on offense, and in the ACC it'sjust going to run shot on
everybody.

Speaker 3 (10:54):
Well, the ACC is just so bad.
That's what I meant.

Speaker 2 (10:57):
I think this is going to if you talk about a Virginia
defense, where yeah, theyhaven't been great.
So, okay, you're going to trustone-on-one matchups on the
outside, and I like the if wecan get White and Robinson.
And then if you watch Danzy,goodness gracious, this kid's

(11:19):
looking like a hell of afootball player who's fast as
hell Making contested catches.
I mean this, this kid, has gotto be the biggest surprise just
or not surprise just the biggestbright spot in what has been
just an, just a huge just.

(11:40):
It's been a machine in thesegames yeah and it.
This is we you know you expectto win these games, but the way
they're going about doing it ispretty special.

Speaker 3 (11:51):
Right, Kent State, East Texas.
They're two bad football teamsthat you should kick the crap
out of, but they did.
There's been teams that haveFlorida State's played plenty of
bad teams and let them hangaround and looked less than
impressive for part of thosegames.

(12:12):
That hasn't happened in eitherone of the past two games.
And then, of course, theAlabama win.

Speaker 2 (12:19):
Right.
So that's why this game, evenoutside of the Alabama game,
this one, this is when it counts.
You know this is yourconference.
If you're going to go to yourchampionship and get to the
playoff, you'd think you've gotto go to Charlotte and it starts
Friday.

(12:39):
Yeah well, I mean I knowthere's a chance now, now that
the season's played out,everything's changed.
I mean Clemson's 1-3.
I mean, I know there's a chancenow, now that the season's
played out, everything's changed.
I mean Clemson's 1-3.
I mean they look like terrible.
I mean Miami is all the way upto number two in the country.
Miami and Florida State looklike two of the best teams in
the country.
Right but other than that, theACC, georgia Tech and Georgia

(13:05):
Tech.
They look like they should beright there.

Speaker 3 (13:10):
As it stands right now, winner or loser of the
Miami-Florida State game, youknow on paper Winner, especially
On paper, the loser of thatgame.

Speaker 2 (13:21):
If Florida State beats Virginia, which is that?
I mean, it's an if you go onthe road.
If Florida State beats Virginia, which is that I mean?
It's an if you go on the road,but that's going to be pencil
that winner into the playoff,especially Miami.

Speaker 3 (13:33):
Yeah, they'll be the front runner to be in Charlotte
to win the conference.
The winner of that game, theloser of the game.
Nothing has changed in terms ofplayoff contention.
You could even not go to theacc title game.
Right still be it all.

Speaker 2 (13:49):
I think it really depends on how you play in that
game with.
I think, if you play, if it'scompetitive on both sides and
because that's a that's anhistoric rival, and if both
teams were to finish the seasonand it's like people want to see
that again, I think thecommittee will reward that and

(14:10):
even though the competitionthing but they'll be like Miami
is one of the best teams in thecountry and they went right
there with them.
That's the only game they lost,or right there, if Florida
State's able to go undefeatedand Miami's only loss is to
Florida.

Speaker 3 (14:24):
State Exactly.

Speaker 2 (14:26):
So if you lose a close game, the winner.
You almost want to have arematch, first and foremost.
But we talked about the otherteams in the conference and the
schedules, georgia Tech inparticular with me.
Yeah, but we'll see how they dowith the target on their back.

Speaker 3 (14:43):
Them going undefeated overall, though, is dicey
because they have theend-of-the-year game with
Georgia.

Speaker 2 (14:49):
Oh, I know, but as terms of going to Charlotte that
doesn't matter.

Speaker 3 (14:53):
That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (14:56):
If they make it to Charlotte and lose the
championship game and lose toGeorgia, they're not going to
the playoff and that couldhappen to Georgia Tech?

Speaker 3 (15:03):
You could get a team that's going to Charlotte, that
has to win to be able to go tothe playoffs, and have a team
that's not going to Charlotte.
That doesn't really matter whathappens.

Speaker 2 (15:14):
But then that will be the question then, if Georgia
Tech were to win.

Speaker 1 (15:20):
Right.
Would you reward the team?

Speaker 2 (15:23):
Three or there'd be two.
We'll see how it goes.
The ACC has good teams.
I mean we're getting ahead ofourselves.
Yeah, they got a few.
They got good teams at the topRight, I think they do, but it's
not as balanced.

Speaker 3 (15:35):
There's just not a lot of mid-level the SEC doesn't
really have.

Speaker 2 (15:40):
They have a lot of good teams, yeah.

Speaker 3 (15:49):
But not like the dominant team.
Well, I mean, you look at theearly season out-of-conference
competition with the conferencesand the ACC is very clearly at
the bottom Right, Going 5-12.
And that's going to be whatplays into it at the end of the
season is that every team out ofthe ACC, save for Miami and
Florida State, has gotten theirasses kicked, which makes that
game so huge.

Speaker 2 (16:08):
It's going to be a night, but Florida State hasn't
played anybody.
They shouldn't be.
I mean in terms of having thisbe a trap game.
You've been playing teams thatyou've been out.
You outmatch them.
This is the first time youyou're in your conference.
You should be yeah droolingover wanting to play this game

(16:29):
right like miami game.
Great, I mean, you have anextra day.
I know miami's got a bye weekbefore and after, yeah but,
whatever it is what it is, andit's.

Speaker 3 (16:39):
You know it's a rivalry game.
You don't want to fucking lose,you don't want to.
It's a rivalry game.
You don't want to fucking lose,you don't want to, right.

Speaker 2 (16:44):
But in the playoff era.
In terms of where your team'sat, they haven't.
They've just been so hungry toplay, it looks like, and the
last these have been scrimmages.
Man, they're going to be onnational TV.
Yeah, it's going to be the onlygame on TV this is going to be.
A lot of people are going to belike let's see how good Florida

(17:05):
State is I didn't watch theselast two games so I think, this
will be a team that's going tocome out excited When's the last
time they won in Virginia.
Well, they don't play up therethat long.
I know my boy, nibs, was upthere getting a phantom holding
call.

Speaker 3 (17:20):
Yeah, I think the last time they played up there,
taggart was the head coach,right?
I mean I think it's been thatlong since they've played been a
while it was I wanted to try toget to the game.

Speaker 2 (17:33):
Um, nope, not gonna make it.
But it's this friday collegefootball.
I mean, game day was in theflorida miami game.
That tells you you all you needto know about the schedule.
So we can move on to the NFL,which was crazy, yeah, crazy
football Sunday, man, I mean youhad.

(17:54):
And we'll start in Philly,where this was a great game.
I mean, this is a tale of twohalves in which it looked like
the Rams were the team to beatin the NFC.
They're coming back to getpayback against the Eagles,
shutting them down.
The Hurts had 17 yards passingin the first half, this team's

(18:20):
winning 26-7.
And honestly, I watched thehalf.
It should have been worse.
They settled for like fivefield goals.
And I mean that's going to.
Can't do that, but Philly man,the halftime speech was
incredible.
I think we have it.

Speaker 1 (18:42):
Let's analyze what's been working for us.
Not a goddamn thing's beenworking for us Like this goddamn
suit doesn't work for me.
And this stinking tie and thisgoddamn shirt it doesn't work
for me.
You know how to play winning,hard-nosed football.
You play football likeEngineero played football A play

(19:05):
football like Edgeneiro playedfootball A guy who gave his life
for this football team.
He was a 140-pound halfback andhe played like a goddamn wild
man, no, like a goddamnrampaging beast.
And that's the way you're goingto do it.
You go out there, you take thatfucking heads off and you're
shit down the necks.

Speaker 2 (19:23):
Let us pray fucking heads off and you're shit down
the neck.
Let us pray.
And then they came out and didthat on offense, just right back
in the game.

Speaker 3 (19:31):
Jaylen hurts and on defense, I mean you got the guy
and the guy is a molt.

Speaker 2 (19:36):
He can do it in different ways.
The defense, you're right, thedefense, special teams, two
block kicks, yeah, that just theteam that's been battle tested
and the way they just turn theswitch on and they can win in
different ways they can to havethat passing ability they can.

(19:57):
If you want to be in an uglygame, fine, we'll do that too.
Very impressed by the eagles,also impressed by the Chargers,
the way they won that game.
In terms of these teams thatshould have lost those games,
eagles and Chargers, they justfigured out ways to win.
Those are just gritty wins.

(20:18):
And it was the Chargers whereyou had a Denver team come in
physically and hit him in themouth, but the Chargers hung in
there and they were only downseven and they had to have it
drive.
And Herbert man, one of thebest throws I've seen, and that

(20:40):
one he's running to his left, Imean throws across his body, a
perfect throw.

Speaker 3 (20:46):
Yeah, I think he's got as good an arm talent as
anybody.

Speaker 2 (20:48):
Oh, dude he's.
I mean I can't.
Tua was drafted ahead of him.
Well, yeah.
I mean just that, thephysicality alone.
This guy is like what you want,and you're seeing him run more
this year.
Harbaugh is there, so you knowhe's going to get the best out
of everybody.
That was a game.

(21:10):
La loses every freaking time.
That's different now.

Speaker 3 (21:16):
This is a different thing.
That was a loss.

Speaker 2 (21:20):
This was a game.
Wow.
Those two teams right thereimpressed me in terms of man.
They just were like no, we'regonna fight this thing out and
we're gonna win.
No, we're not gonna lose, we'regonna win this game and they
fought for it and I was veryimpressed by that.
Uh, rams got a rebound, but uh,they did make the drives on

(21:41):
offense to go down.
Yeah, but I mean then thekicker.

Speaker 3 (21:46):
Field goals aren't going to beat Philly.

Speaker 2 (21:48):
That's what it comes down to yeah, they should have
put them away.

Speaker 3 (21:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (21:52):
They left them hanging around where they could
go in and get retooled and comeout and beat the crap and just
turn into just a great team.
And the Jets almost came backand beat the Bucs I mean your
Bucs are taking.
They did the same thing block afield goal and run it.
The Bucs are trying to kick afield goal and to pretty much go

(22:17):
up 29 to 20, up nine, whichcovers the spread, and then,
like, all right, the Jetsbattled, but then they blocked
the kick.
Yeah, take it back to the house.

Speaker 3 (22:28):
Now they're up one I'm gonna be honest with you,
but what?

Speaker 2 (22:31):
baker doesn't?
He's done three now three gameswhere he's led into the into
the game drives to win yeah,he's got it in him, man.

Speaker 3 (22:40):
That's.

Speaker 2 (22:41):
That's his gunslinger mentality, yeah and that's so
like you don't.
It almost was like oh wow, theJets, this is going to be fun to
watch now, but you almostexpected the Bucs still to win
that game.

Speaker 3 (22:52):
I would roll with Tyrod Taylor the rest of the
season If I were the Jets.
Dude, you can't try JustinFields back out there.
Well, they will.
Yeah, I know man.
Back out there well they willonce.

Speaker 2 (23:07):
Yeah, I know, man, they're paying them the money.
But tyrod threw a terrible picksix, yeah, in the game, um that
.
But I'm impressed by the buckstoughness and those games right
there.
All came down to the end.
All kinds of games can camedown to the end.
The niners an ugly.
Nfc west battle against two 2-0teams though.

(23:29):
And Shanahan knew that was animportant game, though, and just
to win that game was bigBecause it looked like Matt
Jones looked like crap, right,but he stuck with him, he stuck
with it and he delivered.

Speaker 3 (23:41):
He put a drive together.

Speaker 2 (23:42):
He put a drive together at the end and the
defense was all over the place.

Speaker 3 (23:46):
warner yeah, they lost nick bosa for the season.

Speaker 2 (23:49):
He's out yeah, that's gonna another guy hits the
bites, the dust right.
I mean it's like just everyevery week, right, but that was
a big win for the niners.
It's gonna be a costly one.
They're now in first place.
Watch out for seattle, thoughthey took I mean they they got
to play the saints and they didwhat they should have done beat

(24:11):
the living doors, the, the, thesurprise of the day, you know,
it's not even cleveland beatinggreen bay we yeah, yeah, exactly
it's the panthers shutting outthe Falcons, the shutout.
The shutout.
It's the NFL man.
Yeah, you don't just get shutout.
I'm talking like every year,how many shutouts are there in

(24:31):
the league?
I?

Speaker 3 (24:33):
never Shutout, despite outgaining them.
It's embarrassing.
More rushing at more sacks.
Oh, the stats were all in favorof the Falcons, but three
turnovers and three failedfourth down conversions Wow,
kept them out of the end zone.
Wow.

Speaker 2 (24:51):
No points and I just this is all of me saying Phoenix
is a keeper.
That was a dog crap game heplayed.

Speaker 3 (25:00):
He just was terrible.

Speaker 2 (25:01):
I mean just some terrible decisions.

Speaker 3 (25:04):
Well you know, a couple games into the season.
Now you've started to seetendencies.

Speaker 2 (25:08):
Well, you look at his record and his numbers now.
It's not good.

Speaker 3 (25:12):
No.

Speaker 2 (25:13):
And there's a lot of quarterbacks now.
That don't look good.
I mean Russell Wilson.
Back to reality.

Speaker 3 (25:19):
Dallas.
Dallas is awful.

Speaker 2 (25:21):
Dallas' defense is terrible.
Yeah, I mean, that's why Ipicked Chicago.
I was like, oh, they're goingto be playing at home Dude.

Speaker 3 (25:27):
Chicago's got guys that work at grocery stores
playing in the secondary.

Speaker 2 (25:31):
Well, they're going to play.
It's kind of like I should havewent with Carolina.
It's like you're going to getit's the NFL man.

Speaker 3 (25:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (25:40):
I mean, you want to win a freaking game here and
when you haven't won after likethree weeks, a lot of teams find
a way yeah and God, to get beat30 to nothing by Atlanta,
though, whoa, whoa, that was aneye-opening beatdown.
Yeah, that was crazy.
That's a team that you think isgoing to battle for the
division.

Speaker 3 (26:00):
Well, they will, they will.

Speaker 2 (26:01):
They will, because I mean there's is going to battle
for the division.

Speaker 3 (26:03):
Well, they will, they will, they will, because I mean
there's only going to be oneBucs.
Look like they're going to runaway with it.
Maybe the Falcons aren't thatbad.
They're not going to turn itover three times and fail.

Speaker 2 (26:15):
It looks like they need to play the Saints.

Speaker 3 (26:17):
Yeah, play the Saints .

Speaker 2 (26:20):
They need to play the Saints quickly.
The Houston Texans, they'reawful.
Yeah, the Jags were trying togive them chances to win, but
the Jags now winning record.
The Colts look like the classof that division.
Daniel Dimes man, but therunning game Jonathan Taylor
some of those runs are insane.

Speaker 3 (26:39):
That's what it is.
They got the best offensiveline out of any team in that
division.

Speaker 2 (26:42):
Yeah, so give us a quarterback.
Who's not an idiot?

Speaker 3 (26:46):
The Texans cannot block anybody.

Speaker 2 (26:49):
See how bad Anthony Richardson was.
Yeah, he's horrible Like theguy.
Oh man, what a payday for him.

Speaker 3 (26:57):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (26:57):
That just shows you the ratings and the effect of
the combine.

Speaker 3 (27:01):
Well, and his athletic ability.
Being able to run real fastyeah, that's what it is being
able to run real fast.

Speaker 2 (27:09):
Well, at least maybe he'll just be able to run it he
should, just he should literallytry to move to a different
position.

Speaker 3 (27:16):
Yeah, as with the because I don't, I don't know as
bad as he has no chance to playquarterback.

Speaker 2 (27:21):
I mean, I don't know I don't think.

Speaker 3 (27:23):
I don't.
I think he's too soft.
I don't think he likes thatphysicality, you're right.
Well, yeah, it was a hell of afun Sunday to watch.
Giants suck.
Yeah, they do.
They're going to be.

Speaker 2 (27:41):
They were dabbing for Dart.
You got to put Dart in it'stime.
Yeah, I'm going to be.
They were dabbing for Dart.
You got to put.

Speaker 3 (27:45):
Dart in.
It's time.
Yeah, I'm going to tell you Ifeel really bad for Brian Burns,
even though he's making tons ofmoney playing.
But you play for Taggart, youplay for the Panthers, you play
for the Giants he's played 100NFL games.
He's won 27.
Yep, but he's got.

(28:06):
He got it.
He got that contract man.
You got a contract, right nowhe's.

Speaker 2 (28:08):
He's one of the one of the best defensive players in
the league this season, rightit's just that, which their
defensive line was one of thebetter units in the in the all
football.

Speaker 3 (28:18):
But yeah, that offense is it's garbage allergic
to success.
That was last garbage.

Speaker 2 (28:22):
You weren't fool's gold that was last week, dude.

Speaker 3 (28:25):
That's how you gave.

Speaker 2 (28:26):
Russell Wilson a career high.

Speaker 3 (28:29):
Yeah, and we saw how bad the Cowboys are.

Speaker 2 (28:32):
Well, Kansas City will make you look, will humble
you fast.
I knew that was going to happen.
He wasn't going to be able todo anything.

Speaker 3 (28:41):
No, they ended Jameis' little run in cleveland
when he played the chiefs lastyear yeah, but that was last
year's chiefs, that like I knowthey they got a good defense,
but I still don't think they'regoing to do anything well, they,
they need.

Speaker 2 (28:56):
I don't know what.
I thought they should have gonewith james and dart.
Right, what are you like?

Speaker 1 (29:02):
what are you waiting?

Speaker 3 (29:03):
on.
You got six points at half andr Russ is already showing you
that he's it's done, man.

Speaker 2 (29:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (29:09):
That interception before the half in the end zone
that he threw, when he just kindof threw it up.

Speaker 2 (29:15):
Chargers next.
You really want to have.
The only way they'll probablyjust start Wilson is because
they don't want to have dark.

Speaker 3 (29:23):
So you don't want to have Dart start his first game
against a good team like that.
Throw booty out there, shit,you ain't afraid.

Speaker 2 (29:30):
For real, you ain't afraid.
Well, Jameis should be playingfor somebody.
Yeah, and I'm telling you rightnow you get it and look what
the Colts did.
I'm not Like he comes in there.
I think there's a lot of guysI'm not saying that there's a
lot of guys that could step intothe Indianapolis Colts and one.
It just shows you how theposition is polarized.

Speaker 3 (29:55):
I just look at his old team.

Speaker 2 (29:57):
Well, position in general gets too much credit.
Yeah, this game is violent andit's about team and and like, if
you don't have good team andcoaching and at that level,
right, I don't care who you arehis first four years of career.

Speaker 3 (30:15):
He's playing under dirt cutter, so yeah so like
this.

Speaker 2 (30:19):
This guy's still in the league.
I mean players respond to him.
He's matured.
I think he can limit theturnovers.
Geez, have you seen some of thequarterback play?

Speaker 3 (30:32):
Yeah, that's what it.
Yeah, I mean, what's going onin New Orleans, you know, even
in Cleveland, I mean I know theywon.
The quarterback play ishorrible.
New York Atlanta Both.
New York Atlanta Both.

Speaker 2 (30:45):
New York, with Atlanta on the list as teams
that he would the.

Speaker 3 (30:49):
Raiders Geno Smith, ain't it man?

Speaker 2 (30:50):
Looks terrible.

Speaker 3 (30:52):
Yeah, geno ain't doing nothing.

Speaker 2 (30:55):
If he doesn't, why can't he get a job?
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (31:01):
Because of his career .
Man Right Didn't help that theB, the bucks, won the super bowl
.
And yeah, right it was some bad.

Speaker 2 (31:09):
I mean the greatest quarterback to ever do it right
with a coach like bruce arielsafter one year I mean I?
I have no doubt.
I don't know if they wanted towin the super bowl, but they
would have made the playoffsthat year and I think they would
have continued to be good ifthey never got brady.
And and bruce said that, as insuch, he's like hey, we would
have kept james, but I meanbrady became available, so we

(31:31):
went with brady yeah, we wentand got him as his favorite
target, his tight end guy.

Speaker 3 (31:37):
Grunt, we got a tackle for.

Speaker 2 (31:38):
I mean, I don't blame them for doing that at all.
You gotta win.
It's the nfl, and the way heended that season was terrible,
but like the, what from whatwe've seen in the nfl has been
even way worse than that.

Speaker 3 (31:51):
Right there are guys that clearly can't so like it
should be a league rule.

Speaker 2 (31:55):
He has to go to a team, because then you know what
he's gonna be fun to watch yeah, I don't.

Speaker 3 (32:02):
If I'm the giants dude, I pull the plug on russ.
Oh yeah, I would never sign him.
But I think you got to go todart eventually but yeah, but
you have that, that cushion toease them into it, like, hey,
you know what?
We're not gonna let you getkilled against the chargers.
That's why we got jamis,because he's not gonna gonna go
out there and have a good timeplaying man.

Speaker 2 (32:24):
We got a good one tonight.
Ravens-lions Be a fun matchup,better be a good one Last night
was just absolute trash.

Speaker 3 (32:34):
Yeah, best part of the night was Andy Reid getting
physical with Kelsey.

Speaker 2 (32:40):
Yeah, I knew that was going to be just a sleep fest
because that defense was goingto shut down New York.
It was going to be the completeopposite of the Cowboys game.
Cowboys like Giants game wasjust between so bad teams.
It was like oh yeah, it wasgreat to watch.
We're like these teams are bothshit.
The Mac conference of the NFL.

(33:03):
It really was Right.
Who's the best team right now?
we were saying green bay, Ithink philly, you got to give
philly yeah, I think they're,you got to give philly, the
strongest in the nfc and I thinkhome field is going to be huge,
especially now we're onlygetting one by.

(33:24):
Yeah, so they that game betweenthem and the rams was so huge
and think that's going to comeback to matter at the end of the
year.

Speaker 3 (33:34):
Yeah, I don't really see how anybody else in the NFC
West is going to challenge theRams.

Speaker 2 (33:41):
Yeah, if Matt Stafford stays healthy.

Speaker 3 (33:43):
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (33:44):
That's all you know, they do have Jimmy G at backup.

Speaker 3 (33:49):
Hey man, the guy went to the super bowl yeah, he did
with a loaded roster and thencompletely fucking blew it like
at a guy, wide open for the win,for all the glory and overthrew
him by like 20 feet.
Great job, he just doesn't haveit.
Uh, he's another tony romo hedoes all, all good stuff looks

(34:15):
great, but he just doesn't haveit.

Speaker 2 (34:16):
Bills look good, we'll find we'll see the ravens
tonight.
I think we'll.
I want to see what this shouldbe a high scoring game, though,
um yeah I want to see whatdefense is going to play if, uh,
I just think ravens being athome though with that offense,
it's going to give the defenseand be able to pin their ears
back yeah, it's regular season,man.

Speaker 3 (34:37):
The pressure's off of lamar jackson when he does all
his amazing stuff.

Speaker 2 (34:41):
I got him on my fantasy too so it's just regular
season.

Speaker 3 (34:45):
Man right, it's lamar the show 63 points against
Florida State For real.
God, dude, you might want tostop that guy.

Speaker 2 (34:56):
Insane.
He's just had a great career.
I mean, if he puts it togetherin the playoffs and he's still
young, yeah, and he's gettingbetter with his passing.

Speaker 1 (35:08):
He is.

Speaker 2 (35:09):
Because the first part of his career they ran the
ball.
It's kind of you know the goodplayers, they evolve Right and
you saw Brady evolve.

Speaker 3 (35:17):
Yeah, they get, they feel it out.

Speaker 2 (35:20):
And the guy's a winner, but not in terms of like
being the champion.

Speaker 3 (35:26):
But I think there's more intrigue in the AFC this
year.

Speaker 2 (35:30):
Oh yeah About who it's going to be.
Oh yeah, because it alwaysfeels like the chiefs, right,
but I don't know.
Well, I told you they weren'twinning the division.
I still think they can be aplayoff team.

Speaker 3 (35:40):
Yeah, chiefs, they can.
They can find themselves in thewild card.

Speaker 2 (35:44):
Defense.
That defense is is justdifficult to deal with.
Difficult to deal with, yeah,and mahomes is still good if
they just need help and they'llget some help.
Back on offense, they need some.
They just have to survive.
Yeah, they get some, some and Ithink they'll get better worthy
, you'll get better and they'llget their.
Their jailbird wide receiverwill get come back and I
wouldn't be surprised to see atrade for kansas city.

(36:06):
They need to go out and gettyree kill yeah, they need to
bring him back.
Bring him back In terms of likefootball and where he would fit
in and where he's needed.

Speaker 3 (36:16):
Yeah, like the.

Speaker 2 (36:17):
Dolphins need to try to get as much for him as they
can.

Speaker 3 (36:21):
Why they can.
Why they can?
Before this investigation, shitstarts to happen.

Speaker 2 (36:25):
Kansas City.
They need a guy for one year.

Speaker 3 (36:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (36:35):
They're just going to run fast.

Speaker 3 (36:37):
Hey, you've done it before.

Speaker 2 (36:38):
Yeah, he's going to be playing hard for one year,
right At first, this may be itfor you, tyreek, so I think that
I would not be surprised to seethat move.

Speaker 3 (36:44):
Andy Reid wants to win.
I'm looking to see who theNiners are going to do about the
pass rush.

Speaker 2 (36:49):
Well, yeah, the Niners what?

Speaker 3 (36:50):
are they going to do about the pass rush?
Well, yeah, the.

Speaker 2 (36:51):
Niners man.
That's a big loss.
He was playing well.
You got to get Brian Burns.
Yeah, there's some players onsome bad teams that can make big
differences.

Speaker 3 (37:00):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (37:02):
We'll find out.
I mean, we didn't get a chanceto talk about the Browns.
They should be 2-1.
If they wouldn't have cutHopkins, you'd have to think he
makes one of them.
That's what they get, man, buthe was blowing it.
Anyway, it's just the he's notgoing to miss an extra point,
but the Browns, that defense man.

Speaker 3 (37:24):
Yeah, you got.
Miles Garrett yeah best playerin the league, yeah.

Speaker 2 (37:30):
Which is, I mean, one of the best games, the first
ever like 99.0 rating by aplayer was done yesterday by the
Vikings, by the Vikings,secondary player Right, one of
their younger guys, I mean thisguy.
Two defensive touchdowns I mean.
But dude, he was in the rightspot and the ball hawk and he'd

(37:52):
take them to the house.
That was incredible the vikingsand you had their defense.

Speaker 3 (37:56):
Wow, that was nice, right vikings showed up I
finally started throwing theball to aj brown, one of my
receivers.

Speaker 2 (38:04):
Nice second half.
We started with that um, so nflwas definitely more interesting
, but I think this week thisweek college starts to ramp up.

Speaker 3 (38:16):
Yeah, oh yeah, we had to go.

Speaker 2 (38:20):
Well, we got to get on out of here, but before we go
, friday it's Virginia.
Here they come.

Speaker 3 (38:30):
Here they come Meet Virginia.
Here's some.
Here they come Meet Virginia.
Here's some just-in breakingnews.
Dj Lagway back in a walkingboot today.

Speaker 2 (38:42):
I mean, that's probably a good thing for Gator
fans.
I think what that?

Speaker 3 (38:47):
indicates is it's shutdown time.

Speaker 2 (38:49):
Yeah, he needs to just go take a walk and just
rethink somewhere.

Speaker 3 (38:54):
He won't be there next year.

Speaker 2 (38:55):
Yeah, I was going to say where he's going to play
next year.

Speaker 3 (38:57):
Napier will be out probably in the next couple
games.
I think he'll transfer back toTexas, go to Houston somewhere
like that, somewhere that youknow where his athleticism and
being 6'2 and 240 and just goingto be able to do that and win
some games for somebody.
You're not a big-time QB man.

(39:19):
You missed a lot of developmenttime so you need to go, and you
know, in a walking boot.

Speaker 2 (39:26):
We'll see.

Speaker 3 (39:29):
Yeah, not good, just put that on the board.
They should have benched himyeah.

Speaker 2 (39:34):
There's nothing behind him, man.
They benched him in the LSUgame.

Speaker 3 (39:37):
They can win that game Right but you know, you
said it yourself the NIL dealsthe kid that stands to make
close to $10 million in his timeat Florida.
Like you're not taking him out.

Speaker 2 (39:51):
Well, we'll see if Castellanos see if that ankle
holds up On the road.
We'll see this offense.
This looks like a machine.
You just got to keep runningthe ball and I love the
different ways to run it andthat's what I love about this.
Offense so far is just themultiple ways Playing a lot of
guys Right.
Offense so far is just themultiple ways Playing a lot of
guys Right.
Passing is like one of thedimensions of because there's

(40:17):
like three different runningtypes, so it's like we'll throw
it out.

Speaker 3 (40:22):
there too, you can play action with the run game.

Speaker 2 (40:25):
actually, you can fake runs to run and then every
now and then, pass this is whypeople hate playing against Gus
because the passes are lethal.
You have to watch out for those.
So you keep running the damnball.
I'm anxious to see it on theroad against a conference
opponent.
We'll watch it, we'll react toit, we'll pick some games before

(40:50):
that, and until then we'll talkto it.
We'll pick some games beforethat, and until then we'll talk
to you next time, right here 2.3yards per completion.
