Week two was a little.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Bit at your hashtag at the end of that where
they can find you.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Oh yeah, maybe I should, So I'll add that for now.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
I wanted to say it last week.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
But but hey, like usually on my on my socials,
you can just reach out to me. I have a
separate business business socials on TikTok and Instagram at Disney Trucks.
But hey, if you want to hit me up directly,
that works too. So, uh, you know where I'm at.
But yeah, I'll start tagging myself into the banners. But
uh yeah, Week two, Pete, a lot more stable than
(01:33):
Week one, I think, but a few more surprises. Uh,
there really weren't that many marquee matchups Yeah. The game
of the week though, that the NFL was pushing in
for good reason was the Eagles Chiefs, putting them in
the prime part of four twenty five, And so we're
(01:57):
going to talk about that also, because there was no
egos talk last night, so we got someone's got to
talk about egos on on at the station, so why
not us. So let's let's get into it. But before
we do, since we are going to talk about our
bread and butter, about our home Eagles, let's bring on
a guy who has been covering the Eagles for a
(02:18):
long time, well respected and a friend of ours, mister
Les Bowen. Les, how are you. We're doing doing really
really well. Thank you for coming on with us. You're
usually with us on Eagles Talk, but you know, glad
to have you, and this is your second time on film,
don't lie, So we we appreciate you taking the time
(02:39):
to talk some ball with.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Us and being flexible, you know, being flexible and age.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
That's hard as you ever were.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
All right, So let's get into the pole question again.
We're leading off with Eagles Chiefs before we get into
the rest of the league. But our poll question for today,
both of the Eagles and Chiefs passing game flaws will
be fixed at some point this season. Agree or disagree.
As we saw in that game, it was kind of ugly.
Both teams had their issues passing the ball, maybe for
(03:20):
different reasons. So what is your confidence level that both
of them will improve if the season goes on. Let's
we'll start with you.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
Ah, okay, Well let's take the Eagles first, because they're
the team that I think more of us care about. Yeah,
you know, we've seen this before with the Eagles.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
You still have.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
DeVante Smith, you still have AJ Brown, They're both healthy.
You're going to get Dallas Goddard back very soon, if
maybe this week. We don't really know yet.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
You have to think.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
That somehow things will get better. I think not having
aj Brown for much of the where all of the
training camp really and preseason probably put a few kinks
and things. We all hoped it would go smoother. We
all thought they'd hoped that they pick up right where
they left off with the NFC Championship game and the
(04:13):
Super Bowl. But it never works like that with the Eagles.
For some reason, even though they've got eleven of twelve
starters back, it's they've got a new offensive coordinator. It's
like they're figuring things out again. And I'm not sure
exactly why that should be, but they are. But there's
no reason to think that it won't work out with
the Chiefs kind of similar. I mean, they're gonna get
(04:36):
Rashi Rice back. No, I'm sorry, They're gonna get wash
Is suspended. They'll get him back eventually. They're gonna get
Worthy back before Rice. You know, some things will fall
into place. Then it's a little cloudier with the Chiefs
in that I read some stuff from Kansas City after
the Eagles game, and people there We're not the only
(05:01):
ones who think that the Super Bowl was sort of
the indication of the started decline of the Chiefs dynasty.
I think there's a strong feeling that this is looking
pretty stale, that the offensive concepts that Mahomes is masking.
You know, in the first half Sunday, the sixty rushing yards,
(05:22):
he kind of you know, he was their offense. They
have not been a productive offense in either of the
first two weeks, and it's a little you know, I
don't think their offensive line is great. Travis Kelce is
thirty five years old. He was having a really good day,
I thought up until the moment when he handed that
(05:42):
ball to Drew mcuba, but that was the play of
the game, and things like that seemed to be happening
to him and to them after they won a whole
bunch of real close games on the last possession last year.
So I think more or less, yes, I do agree,
But with Kansas City I agree a little less strongly
(06:05):
than I do about the Eagles.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
All right, interesting, interesting, I agree, and like less said,
and like you stated before, I think it's very similar
situations and similar performance through two weeks, but for completely
opposite different reasons. Where I think Kansas City's more scheme,
(06:33):
but I also think it's a lot more personnel and
availability of personnel. Not having exaber Worthy, not having Mashi Rice,
maybe not sticking their toe in the water, pursuing the
DeVante Adams and things of that nature. I think it
also is a little bit scheme. I also think it's
a little bit of age as well. But also I
think from teams that are opposing the Chiefs, I think
(06:53):
Super Bowl fifty nine showed the world that these guys
are not invincible, and they haven't been in a big
game on that stage in that fashion. That was all
timing because at one point the score was forty to three,
if I'm not mistaken at some point, or thirty four
to three or something like that. But all that being said,
(07:14):
like Less said earlier, we just people who watch this
platform when it drops, you know, when it goes live,
and the premiers like your boys alike and alike in
the subscription please Eagles is more concerning for me. That's
not just because it's close to home, but I would
also say that from the outside looking at me, because
(07:34):
everything that's that Lester said, office line chiefs, it's a
little shaky. We just talked about the personnel exam you're
worthy or she writes, not being available when you look
at the Eagles offense, that's not the case. Officer line is,
if not the best, one of the best in the league.
Your personnel group is not, if not the best, one
of the best in the league as well. So why
(07:55):
can't we make this thing work? And it was something
I saw and I think Chucks you shared it and
then where it said a year Brown ran the same
route ten times, like it's not so much about the personnel.
You can have the person we've seen it teams be
loaded on paper, right, it's what are we doing with
these route concepts? What are we doing getting the ball
out of time? And what is the defense doing as well?
(08:17):
And Kansas City Chiefs defense is not what I think
it was, but it's also not bad. But at times
it almost seemed like Jalen wanted to go somewhere with
the ball. And it's almost like the Chiefs defense knew
what we were running before, but they were too spots in
some cases before our wide receivers got there. And I
get it. Kennessey's defense is one thing kind of can
(08:41):
say Week one with Dallas, but we just had Russell
Wilson throw for four to fifty on that team. Four
fifty he led the league. He led the league in
passing last week we too. I'm not saying we want
to chuck it. That's not how we are built, but
when we need to be able to throw the ball
in some cases, we need to be able to do that.
(09:01):
I was a point in that game to where I
felt like the offenses banging their head against the wall.
I mean, I don't know in that fourth quarter after
they took the twenty to ten lead, what they just
thought they were going to milk the clock like and
for a long time from Cirianni's teams, we never saw
them to play like play to win the game like.
We never like they just kept playing. It wasn't let's
(09:22):
not try to lose the game. And that's what I
kind of felt that a little bit in the second half,
especially in the second half of the fourth quarter on Sunday.
And I don't like that trend, especially with the teams
these next three or four weeks that we are playing
on the schedule, because the same way that we felt
about the Chiefs going to the Super Bowl fifty nine,
guess who's the team that everybody else in the league
feels like that about. It's the Eagles because they are
(09:44):
the reigning defending Super Bowl champions. So you have to
bring it right. And I'm on very scared now, I'll
say very scared. I am worried about Sunday at one o'clock.
And from what we see and we'll get into it later,
there's a guy on the other side that looks like
(10:05):
he's turned back the clock a little bit and Devonte Adams.
But I think the way in the path to get
is crazy because I think the way in the path
to get there for the Chiefs may be slightly easier
than what the Eagles are because I think Eagles and
Kevin Petullo maybe trying to find the identity of what
(10:26):
they want to do and how they can if plan
A doesn't work and we don't get what we want
and we don't see what we like. Okay, how many
how many en routes or how many ten yards de
ruts can we run? How many aj brown slants can
we run? Can he run a slug? Though? He can?
But is he? But is it being called? What are
we seeing? Because at some point the tread on that
(10:48):
tire is going to wear it thin, and it's going
and the tire is going to have a blowout, right
proverbally speaking. So it's frustrating because we've seen this trend
and this has been we've seen all put and say,
the Eagles offense isn't complex, it's very simple, but they
rely on personnel. But now we said is the way
(11:08):
to beat the Chiefs out there? So those concepts getting stale?
That could be very well easily said about the Eagles.
And then now how do we adjust? How does Patulo adjust?
Is it when he was just the passingain coordinator was
assistant offensive coordinator whatever you want to call it. Last year.
He can look at these things from afar and kind
of see. But now as you get closer to it,
(11:31):
sometimes your your judgement can get a little bit more cloudy, right,
or you may not be as aware of other things
and may not be as I want to say, as approachable,
because we don't know, we're not in the building. But
just how as you get closer, Now, as you get
more responsibility, do you still keep that same fluid fluidity
and that same flexibility or now do you become more rigid? Right? So,
(11:54):
the only time will tell. Personnel wise, the Eagles should
be able to figure it out better off the line. Obviously,
I want to say better quarterback, but a quarterback that
is capable of doing it, and definitely better skill position players.
So let's see. I mean, because it was completely different
than Week one. Week one, we saw screen passes, we
saw we saw create with creativity. I don't I don't
(12:15):
think we saw any of that in Kansas City. It
was almost like, hey, we're in a dog fight. Where's
gonna be one player to separate this game? When we
get the lead let's just not try to Let's not
just try to lose it, right, Let's let's just play
very simple football and not turn the ball over, not
put the ball on harm's way. I don't think you'll
be able to do that in these next at least
the next two games.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
Three games.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Well, I mean, because you got what you got, Rams,
Buccaneers Broncos, right, Yeap and Bucks are in Tampa and
so you got home away.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
The other two are home, yeah, home.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Yeah, I'm going to agree to the ball. I'll address
the chief side. It is more so personal now wise.
Obviously you guys have touched on it, and I mean,
I'm not even that high on exavier' worthy, but for
what his role is going to be on that team,
and they made an emphasis. The Chiefs have made emphasis
in the offseason. They've made it apparently clear they're going
(13:10):
they want to get back to being more aggressive, and
part of that was having Examer You're worthy on I
mean Hollywood Brown and Hollywood Brown, but we know what
he is. He's he gets, he's light, he can't you
you lay one hand on him, and he doesn't stand
like he's very he doesn't have a lot of strength
and he's not good in contact, so he's very light
(13:32):
in his his approach and not he's not going to
be able to take contact. Well, you know, outside of him,
like what else do you have? You don't have much.
So you know, with Rashid Rice waiting they come back
after suspension, maybe he does offer more explosive plays in
a different dimension because you know what he is. You
(13:54):
they get the ball in his hands in the short
and intermediate areas, then they let him cook with your
after the cat. So you know, having those two come
back will probably add some stuff. I forget who it
was who said it. I don't remember if it was
just one of people I follow on Twitter or if
it was an an unless I follow, But I did
read somewhere that like this Chiefs team, though, is starting
(14:17):
to look a little bit kind of like how the
Andy Reid Eagles teams were in terms of passing game,
where the wide receiver position isn't really heavily invested in
and there's not much talent there and they're asking the
quarterback to just deal and that's that's not good. I mean.
And even during those seasons, at least McNabb had Westbrook,
(14:42):
so you had a good running game and you know
a legit receiver. Their running game right now in Kansas
City is non existent, non existent. You have two plotters,
bruisers who who provide no explosiveness right Like, but Chucko,
we love Pa Checko, he's not an explosive runner. And
(15:03):
Kareem Runt is past his prime and we know what
he is. But they don't have any explosiveness coming from
the running back position. It was that way last year.
It's gonna probably be this way this year, unless if
that rookie boards to provide something. So what does Mahomes
have to work with in the passing game? But he
doesn't have much to work with and we shall see
(15:26):
if the added talent will fix it. But until we do,
it's like, all right, let's let's what it's it's about.
Are you willing to give them the benefit of the
doubt knowing who they are and so based off reputation, Sure,
but it is on the back of your mind, like
is this getting stale? So that's what the chiefs with
(15:47):
the Eagles like. After looking at the film, it's a
lot of the similar frustrations there were in some points
of last season. A lot off not say a lot
of stuff, but like even more so the case in
twenty twenty three with Brian Johnson. But the thing is
this is, at its core, this has always been an
(16:10):
emo of Nick Sirianni's offense in terms of right it's
always been them, is that they never have been a
creative scheme. Like we saw that. The most creative they've
gotten was last year under Kellen Moore, where at times,
you know, some weeks we were like, oh wow, there's motion.
(16:31):
Oh wow, there's three by one sets, there's there's this
and that. He's adding stuff you And there were games,
especially in the playoffs, where telling Moore was in his
bag and we're like this is good, like he was
a solid offensive coordinator.
Speaker 4 (16:43):
But they're motioning to you know, all over the place.
Right now, there's.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Still not Yeah, it's like, you know, it doesn't do anything.
It's it's useless motion. It's just like, I don't know,
oh what, Like when I was taking notes of the film,
I'm just like a lot of this stuff is the
same stuff I saw.
Speaker 4 (17:07):
And I'm much too lazy to go through and chart
this myself, but I did read that basically, if they're
in shotgun, they pass. If they're in pistol, they run,
and if he's under center, they run. Of course a
lot of those are too push but nonetheless it's you know,
I mean they have like the they like the two
(17:27):
wide receivers over here and two over here, and it's
just it's it's they don't seem to get I know
that zone defenses. And I thought the Chiefs did a
wonderful job of like handing off things. You know, that
very hard to break anybody really open against them the
(17:47):
way they we're playing. But it's you got a J.
Brown and DeVante Smith and you can't figure out a
way to get them the ball unless you're throwing it horizontally.
That seems wrong to me.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Is it's it's really weird. And just like with the
two by two sets, when you when you're constantly doing
two men route concepts to either side of the field,
there's only so many concepts, right. It's not like if
you have a three by one and people wonder why
three by one is so prevalent, it's because you can
do so many things out of that. But two B
(18:21):
two is there's only so many different ways. And if
you are if you're a defense and you see it coming.
You can easily defend it because of a lot of
the times your your your man count on them, you're
outnumbering that you can put three on two, and.
Speaker 4 (18:39):
That was frequently the case. Yeah, you know, especially with
a Brown. He would be in a zone and there'd
be like a chief here, a chief there, and the
chief back.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
And it's hard to unless if there's a really great
like things have to be perfect from a route running
like perspective where you're able to really force a breakdown
and coverage, or.
Speaker 4 (19:02):
You can run a slant like they did to AJ
a bunch of times.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
You know that.
Speaker 4 (19:07):
I like the slant to a J. But you got
to do more with them than that.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
It's almost like with the Chiefs going back to them
real quick. If you're DC and you're looking at the
personnel on the offense, you're making a game plan, especially
with what they have right now, nothing feared like you don't.
It's mahomes, right, and then it's.
Speaker 4 (19:30):
High mahomes, which the Eagles didn't do in the first half.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
Right, And it's like with the Eagles, it's almost you
get the same result, but it's different, like you look
it on paper or how we're gonna stop this, How
we're gonna stop that? And then you watch taples like,
like you said, a chief, you're a chief. They're a
chief everywhere, everywhere is a chief, right because they're not
doing anything, even in the remote slightest to try to
(19:55):
give a different look or give something that can take
advantage of the I think, And that's kind of the
most frustrating part for me, is that the personnel is
so good. If we just made some slight adjustment to
what the chiefs were doing, it would not be this hard, right,
and we could win twenty four to ten or thirty
(20:16):
one to seventeen, because guess what, there's a guy that's
coming in here Sunday who can scheme personnel players open
and he has a good personnel.
Speaker 4 (20:23):
Now, yeah, yeah, they're gonna have to score more points, but.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
I and that's you know, they're gonna run into that
at some point, right, Let's they're gonna have to put
on more than twenty something.
Speaker 4 (20:35):
And there are two things about Sunday also that I
wanted to say. One was that so they have no
Dallas Goddard, but they're running a lot of twelve and
thirteen personnel anyway, Now to me, we don't have your
tight end. Maybe you stay away from heavy tight end stuff.
(20:56):
You know, it would seem to make sense to me.
And of the screw ups where cal Kata couldn't block somebody,
you know, he was trying to grab block like George
carl Aftis you know, I mean, no, yeah, that's not
don't do that.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
Do you remember do you remember last year? Yeah, we
did a show after the loss to Washington, and after
that I had made it a point of emphasis. I said,
outside of Hurts leaving the game, the biggest factor in
us losing that game was the poor blocking by the
(21:34):
tight ends because we didn't have got it. Yeah, And
ever since then especially, I've been saying, you need blocking
tight ends if you're going to be a running team,
and god, it's gonna miss time every single season. You
need better blocking tight ends. I think this was another
prime example of I mean, you take the first play
(21:55):
from scrimmage and there's two points to talk to take
away from this. Like I I was, I was debating
showing this place in the film room, but we'll just
discuss it here because I think it's been shown on
a friend. Duffy showed it on his breakdowns. You know
a few other of my friends showed it too. But
the first play we talk about pistol, right, and the
tendency of hey, every time we're in pistol, we run it. Well,
(22:19):
A good argument or a good like take that friend
Duffian mentioned is they're the coaches might be deliberately setting
something up by running it that back because they're showing
a tendency and they want to pulding up. You could
argue that that shot play the first place from scrimmage,
was that set up right because the Chiefs probably saw
(22:41):
that they're always running from pistol, so they set up
a shot play and a J. Brown is wide open.
And can you imagine if if the Eagles have hit
the first play of the game with a Brown touch down,
how much different that would have made the game. But
the reason why it doesn't hit is because Calcuterason, you're
(23:03):
coming in as the as the h as the h
back is not able to block the defender the blitzer
and Hurts. Hurts has to avoid the pressure and plays
plays blown up right, And it's just so frustrating again
two to see that, like the incompetence and the deficiencies
(23:24):
of the type and the backup tight ends and their
inability to block. But this team can insists for some
reason to put them in there. I don't I don't
get it.
Speaker 4 (23:34):
Like you cat if you throw them the ball, but
they really didn't throw them the ball.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
Yeah, he's in there. He's in there because he's a
he's a solid receiving. If he can't block, never put
him in line like has has him, have him as
a flex tight end and that's his role or one
of the three. Yeah, and I don't like, I don't
understand why their insistence to do this. Now there is
(24:00):
a glimmer of hope because Cameron Lattu was actually he
came in and he he was actually pretty good at blogging.
Speaker 4 (24:08):
Now they USUA full back.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
They designated him now as a fullback, even though like
he had been a tight end. He changed his number.
He's now thirty six, and I believe in the press conference,
Nick said that he's they look him at as a fullback,
so he's a fullback. So I mean, like his this
rule's not going to change now. He's not going to
overtake Calcata or or grandson, and Grandson wasn't horrible. Week
(24:33):
one he had some moments and he was he was
solid in week one, but at the same time, that's
also not his forte Like it's it's super frustrating to
know that that's uh, that was something I if I
can see it and I'm nobody last year, how in
the world did that not be addressed. I mean, even
(24:55):
if we had Jack stole back, I was like Jack
still was one of the underrated just just great role players.
He's your backup tight end, your tight end three. But
you know why he's there. He's there because, yes, the block.
So it's super frustrating.
Speaker 5 (25:15):
It's it's just super frustrating that again again, like you
said last it's one thing if they didn't have that,
but they stayed away from the two tight end sets.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
But they keep doing it right, keep doing it.
Speaker 4 (25:31):
The other point I wanted to make before I forgot
because I'm getting forgetful in.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
My old age.
Speaker 4 (25:38):
So we were talking a little while ago about them
being so conservative in the second half. I really think
the tush push has bled into that. And what I
mean is, so they have a lead, it's the second half.
They're trying to run clock. They can run for three yards,
(25:58):
throw a five yard past and then push it once
or twice, you know, and move the sticks and the
clock runs and your offenses on the field, and maybe
you're going to get points out of it eventually, say, someday,
I really think that's become I think in both of
these games, I think that was the fourth quarter thinking,
(26:21):
you know, let's just let's not take any chances. In
both games there's one turnover that basically decided the game,
and both both times and they didn't make it, so
they don't want to make it, you know, no turnovers.
If you take a deep shot, then you're in like
second and ten or something, or you get a sack
or you know, then you can't do it that way.
(26:44):
But as long as you're just run it, get what
you can throw a little pass, get what you can
line everybody up, you know, I think you can do
that with a lead, you know, when you're trying to
kill Klode. And I think they've gotten really, really kind
of addicted to doing it that way.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
M hmm.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
Yeah. I mean that's a fair point. And then that
is a fair point that if they think of it
that they're using that to hey, like, we have this advantage,
let's use that to our advantage and that's that's fine,
But like you said, less if you have a lead.
If you have a lead, there is pete. You said it,
(27:27):
there's gonna be a game where you're gonna have to
score points. You are going to have to be aggressive,
and you're like, you can't live that way throughout the
whole the whole game. And again, maybe if they had
hit that deep shot to aj on the first place,
maybe that changes things. Yeah, maybe, but like, I don't know,
(27:48):
it's so weird, and I think that it's.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
Either going to be a game to where they don't
have a lead or the opposing offensive unit on other
side out of the field has put up points and
they may have a lead, but they know, okay, maybe
our defense is struggling. I don't want to give that
guy the ball back. I mean, and we talk about
(28:12):
if the Chiefs have lost or luster. I I was
not concerned that they gave the Chiefs the ball back.
And that's Patrick Mahons. You couldn't say that a year
or two years ago. You never give him the ball back.
I don't think that's the same. God, right, I don't
think he has that same And it's not because maybe
not just him, but but but a culmination of things.
(28:34):
So when you have that, like we can see it
this Sunday, they can have a league league against the Rams.
And we almost saw an individual round last year. Yeah,
Jayleen Carter Stack was like on the twenty yard line,
fifteen yard line. I remember.
Speaker 4 (28:47):
Yeah, that was the closest they came to losing player Stafford.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
Stafford can still sling it, right, And that's a that's
a team. If you have a six or seven point
lead in the fourth quarter, the game is not over,
so you may have to get You went from the
ideology in the second half to say, okay, let's speak consertive,
let's not put the ball arms away. We don't really
fear anything on their offensive side, to where hey, we
(29:13):
may need to get these points and said and seven
points may not be enough. We may need to get
a field goal. May because that changes the ideology as well.
And I don't like how Less said. I don't like
how they it's not almost like the game comes to them.
It's that don't use the touch push as a crutch,
you know, put if you have a chance to put
a team away, put a team away, right.
Speaker 4 (29:35):
Well, the other thing is last year. I think the
passing game opened up a little after the running game
became so explosive. You know, they were getting explosive plays
from Saquon Barkley, so once teams really had to load
up on that, then they were able to pass more effectively.
I think against a lot of teams we haven't seen that.
(29:57):
You know, they're running efficiently, but he hasn't broken hardly anything.
That touchdown run was about as long a run as
he's had in the two games they are gave him
the second level, you know, wide open jail break kind
of runs. I guess it's the defenses, but you know,
which makes a lot different when they don't.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
Have that, right, But it will also if that's the case,
if they're seeing different defenses, right, that would also that
also should put a more emphasis on how can we
get this passing game more credible to where it is
a threat, because right now you literally have two talented
wide receivers who defenses are not really feared by, and
not because of their not because of their individual skill,
(30:39):
it's just the position that you're putting your your players in.
You're not putting in a position to succeed, which is
making it more challenging and this team is good enough
to overcome those challenges and still be to an Oh,
but who knows where we're talking about two, three, four
weeks from now right?
Speaker 1 (30:58):
Yeah, Lust, you made a point, and you know, as
we wrap up this this discussion, you made it a
point before we went on that, like, because you have
an article coming out about Kevin Patula in his press conference,
you know, and one of the issues right now with
the Eagles passing game is it's either short or maybe
an occasional deep shot. There's nothing in the intermediate and
(31:19):
then they're just not being aggressive.
Speaker 4 (31:23):
Hurts is the only NFL quarterback who hasn't attempted a
ten to nineteen.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
Yard nothing in the intermediate level. Nothing yet? What did
What can you tell us about Kevin Patula's press conference
maybe in regards to that and other other questions about
the past game.
Speaker 4 (31:40):
Yeah, Patula was kind of interesting. I don't have anything
great on that other than he talked about it in
the context of the Kansas City game. They were getting
blitzed a lot and was getting the ball out quickly,
so they weren't they were going shorter, you know. Uh,
I still think you can hit an immediate pass against
the Blitz.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
But you know what do I know.
Speaker 4 (32:01):
He talked about overall in the passing game, about that
how tight the games have been and how lit a
premium mistakes you know, have been mistakes just have destroyed
the other teams and they don't want, you know, a
bad sack or a turnover to to derail their offense,
(32:26):
and they're being I think they've just been extra special careful.
I think one of the things he was saying was
what you were saying about that first play shot. Had
the games gone a different way, they had plenty of
stuff in the game plan that they could have used,
but once the games settled into this sort of trench
(32:47):
warfare type of thing, that they kind of went that
way with everything they did. And you know, I do
think they're going to have to get out of it.
I do think they're gonna have to break some tendencies,
and I do think he's going to have to come
up with some different ideas than what we've seen these
first two weeks.
Speaker 1 (33:05):
M Yeah, I think he definitely is gonna have to because,
like you said, next matchup especially, they've got they've got
some dudes.
Speaker 4 (33:16):
I don't like this game at all really, given how
the play, I think. I still think the Eagles are
the better team in the long run, you know, but
I the Rams are playing a little better right now.
Stafford is really playing well. The Kuah, you know, they
really they will put a lot of pressure. I think
(33:39):
that the Eagles defense is up to that, but I
don't think the defense is. There were some busts that
they didn't end up didn't end up.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
Causing them as.
Speaker 4 (33:50):
Much damage as they might have against Kansas City. That
one horrible where the two defensive backs ran into each
other and Morton was running Scott Free and Holmes missed him.
You know you're not gonna be able to do that
against the Rams. You're gonna you're gonna give up a
lot of points.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
And even the one that Thorn want they hit to
throw on a touchdown where they ran and then read,
I don't know, we just took the completely.
Speaker 1 (34:15):
The wrong choice about that play. About that play, no
one knows who.
Speaker 4 (34:20):
Yeah, Fran thought it might be Macouba that should have
gone over and then.
Speaker 1 (34:25):
I don't know, j was saying that because of the
type of coverage it might have been on Quinin. Yeah, like,
no one knows because there's like it's it's a really
confusing like.
Speaker 4 (34:35):
Quon said, Okay, there's nobody. I guess I've got to
get back to here. You know, it didn't look like
Quinnyon was trying to cover trying.
Speaker 1 (34:43):
To cover it's it's it's really weird. You have to like,
I don't. I don't excel in defensive breakdown is why
I don't. I usually stay away from posting that content.
But like when I was looking at it, I'm like,
this is way too confusing for me, and and frand
even and said, this is like he doesn't know because
it's it's so complicated. So like if you want to,
(35:05):
you know, if if anyone wants to check out friends
breakdown of an explanation of it and why he's like
a confusing play. Definitely checked that out, And it's just
like I don't think any of us will know. The
only people really know are people Vick and them, So
who knows whose father was regardless, Yeah, you have those breakdowns.
You're against the Rams, and I think that it's it's
(35:26):
not so much I like the way you word it
less is that like in the long run, I think
the Eagles are the better team but it could be
a case where we're facing the Rams at the wrong
time because they're clicking, and our defense, while still really good,
does have some things they have to clean up on
the back end, and you still have a big question
mark in a Dori Jackson Dorry did play better last Yeah,
(35:52):
so this is a different animal now against the Rams,
and you know you have that aspect of it, and
then you had the our passing games still trying to
find the group. So it could just be a thing
of the best.
Speaker 4 (36:05):
Might be this is a ten am game for the
Rams who are going from the other coast. You know,
they don't like those. They try to get those off
their schedule. The one o'clock Eastern start. It's bad for
the players, it's bad for their fans to have a
game start.
Speaker 1 (36:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (36:22):
Yeah, so we'll see. But either other than that, I
think the Rams are off to a little better start,
a little smoother start than the Eagles are.
Speaker 1 (36:31):
Yeah, at least at least offensively. So yeah, I can
I can see it in a shootout. And I think
Pete and I were talking about it too, like I
could I could see this game. I can see this
as a loss for the Eagles. I'm not gonna make
a prediction and say it is. I can see I
can I can see a scenario where this is our
first loss. It's just wrong team at the wrong time
(36:51):
right now. And but I mean, we'll see how things go.
Maybe that that time change of travel will affect the
Rams enough to to give us the edge. But plus
anything else you want to touch on Eagles.
Speaker 4 (37:06):
I think I got through most of my stuff pretty well.
We don't know anything about god It yet. I think
that'll be a big factor for this week. I really
don't think that this is the Eagles a matter of
Jalen Hurts not seeing things. Oh it's not that some
last year. But I don't think we've had that this year.
I really don't. And I don't know whether that's less
(37:28):
concerning or more concerning.
Speaker 1 (37:30):
Yeah, I don't think he's playing really well. I think
I I charted one, maybe two plays where I could
have said, you could have pulled the trigger everywhere, yeah,
even exactly exactly exactly. So like if it's one or
two plays where I'm like questioning, like you know, his
his decision there, then it's it's not he's playing. He's
(37:53):
playing well for what's in front of him.
Speaker 4 (37:56):
You know, you gotta just needs to be something better
in front of him.
Speaker 2 (37:59):
Yep, exactly, exactly, And I think they said that he
they blitzed sixteen out of his twenty four drawbacks, so
sixty four percent. It was the highest, the highest blitz
rate since the Spagmull has rived in since twenty nineteen. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (38:14):
Yeah, and it's again a common theme is a lot
on a lot of those all out blitzes, there were
no nothing hot, all vertical routes. So that's why you
saw Jalen just kind of put it up. Yeah, it's frustrating,
but hopefully Kevin Botulo fixes it the whole passing game does.
I think they did it last year. They fixed the
(38:35):
last year. I'm willing to give them benefit of doubt
and remain hopeful. But it's gotta I think it's gotta
start to tune like, it's got to really find its
groove soon or else us will be in a little
bit of trouble early on. But less thank you so
much for coming on with us. Thank you, We appreciate it,
and I will we will see you next week on
(38:56):
you go talk Yes, all.
Speaker 2 (38:57):
Right, least have a great night.
Speaker 1 (39:01):
That is the one less Bowen always appreciate his insight,
all right, So got that out of the way. Talked
about a little bit of negatives on the Eagles despite
the win. So let's talk about something positive. Let's get
into the film, all right, have a little fun here.
Let's talk about something positive with the Eagles. The one
(39:22):
Drew mccooba had had a good game play of the game.
We're not going to cover We're not going to talk
about a breakdown the interception because there's really nothing down there.
It was and it was man and he was the
over the top safety. It was a single safety and
Travis Kelski dropped it and we right to mccooba, and
(39:44):
mccooba made the play, So that that's as much of
the breakdown as you need. But what we will cover
is this play on I'm sorry, this play third down,
which was a fantastic play. It made me jump out
of my seat when I first saw it. So let's
let's get into this. This is also again, this is
(40:05):
man where the Eagles are showing man coverage. How can
you tell because look at where John Campbell is. He's
lined up, this is the running back. He's lined up
right over the running back. So that is an indicator
that Eagles are in Man. And you can see as
I play it, you can see that come to fruition.
So the running back, I think pretty sure that's Freeme Hunt.
(40:26):
He's gonna run that wheel to Hodds with him. So
you gos are playing Man and the Chiefs are running
a variant of Mesh. And if you remember, Mesh is
another we haven't seen mesh like what we haven't really
seen mesh, have we in our offense? We love mesh,
but we haven't seen it. At least we didn't see
the Chiefs against Chiefs. But anyway, they're gonna run a
(40:46):
variant a Mesh. Okay, so you're gonna have Hollywood Brown
come across the formation on a shallow and Travis Kelsey
instead of running the op of the mirroring shallow, he's
going to kind of set a pick play and you
can see there all this garbage. He's gonna stand right
there and getting kind of the way of the defenders.
(41:08):
Here's mccuba he is running man with Now, I think
honest NFL was the one that pointed this out. Usually
on this call, Bond would have would would provide help
in the coverage. But because Mahomes was killing us with
(41:29):
his legs whenever we called man in the first half, uh,
they started to spy. So Bon is spying mm hmm
here and so it's literally just.
Speaker 2 (41:40):
Mcuba on the closing speed. But I would I would
give a strong assist to Bond and and the call
to spy. But more importantly, Zach's depth. He did not
get too deep, he did not go up too far.
His patience and staying there and letting his eyes dictate
what his actions were. Because we can see Hollywood started
(42:03):
on ahead of the sticks and based off of what
that route was and really wasn't so much Travis Kelsey's pick.
It was Bond was just there and Bond didn't reach out,
he didn't speak with his tat because he stayed on task.
He stayed on the side of it. It made Hollywood
have to come to the ball. And then we can
just see mccouba's closing speeds.
Speaker 1 (42:24):
It's so fast. It's so fast. I mean that burst
and acceleration and as I play it back, I mean
that closing speed to get right there. Oh, that is
a thing of beauty. And this was important because this
resulted in the fourth and one and the Chiefs went
for it and re stopped them.
Speaker 2 (42:43):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (42:43):
So remember that this play was this was this resulted
in that fourth down stop for the Eagles. So again,
amazing play by mccoubah, This isn't easy and that speed
and burst to be able to really click and close
on the ball like that and allow no gain. Fantastic stuff.
Speaker 2 (43:04):
And also he learned from this because there was a
play in the first half when Mahomes was running was
running wild. He just went low on Mahomes and Mahomes
truck them perverbably speaking. And the first thing I said
is mccouba, hit what you're looking at? Yeah, And this
was perfect, perfect form tackle, eyes up, head up. There
(43:31):
was no doubt about it. Hollywood had no choice but
to go down.
Speaker 4 (43:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (43:35):
Very I remember seeing that too, and I was like,
you're you're just laying a shoulder. You're not good Like
you gotta wrap up, tackle with that head up and
just and bring them down. So very very good job
on maccouba. Awesome stuff.
Speaker 2 (43:47):
I am.
Speaker 1 (43:48):
Remember it's really really early, so a lot of things
can change. But it's really funny how so many Eagles
fans were we're king about the position and myself two
weeks we're like, we're like, have you forgotten about mccouba
(44:09):
likes here, Like he's you know, even if you don't
you're not high on Sidney Brown, mccuba is here like,
and he's he's making plays so far.
Speaker 2 (44:18):
In his I wish mccouba was the size of Sydney.
Speaker 1 (44:23):
Oh can you imagine that?
Speaker 2 (44:24):
God?
Speaker 1 (44:26):
All right, So we we hinted at the Rams right
in the matchup, and we hinted at it. You talked
about Davonte Adams and people forget. It's easy to forget
because he's not looked at anymore as like a Tier
ONEID receiver anymore. But him going to LA and playing
with Matthew Stafford week two against the Titans bro like,
(44:49):
he was awesome, all right? So, like you, there were
a little bit of struggles early on, but as the
game went on, Oh my god, the first thing, like
I have, I put together all his receptions and I
bunched them up into this clip. I will go quickly
one by one. But the first thing I noticed as
watching it is they really do move him around. So
(45:11):
he's he's on line in different spots and you can
see here he's the number three receiver to the strong side,
all right, So he's right there and it circled. I
made sure you guys can see. And he's just gonna
run that shallow easy completion. So again he's lined up
there next one again, number two receiver. Now, so he's
(45:33):
a little bit farther out beyond the hashes. I really
like this because what's gonna happen is you're gonna see
the clear out here by the number three receiver. I
think that yeah, or no, no, it's not that, but
it's number three receiver here. He's gonna run that that
deep dig and that's gonna clear out the defenders and
(45:54):
Adam is just gonna see right in the zone, right there,
right in the zone. It's just very good, very good,
very easy, a really good way to get Davante Adams open.
And he makes stuff. He makes something happen after the
catch too. Now here is another another lineman. Now he's
(46:18):
z so he's off the line of scrimmage. But he's
now the number one ride receiver up top. And you're
gonna see here. This is what I would ask who
and then look at this grab. It's hard to see
because we're so far away, but him plucking that ball
off the turf like this. First, I also look at
(46:40):
Matthew Safford. This is a ridiculous throw. Woo. Just a
flick at the rest side arm like and it goes.
How many yards is gonna go? It's gonna go to
like sixteen seventeen yards, my gosh, on a rope and
then Adam just plucks it. That is that's so pretty,
(47:01):
That is so pretty. I'm gonna watch between this.
Speaker 2 (47:03):
Play with the hands and then run the next play. Ah,
this is a.
Speaker 1 (47:10):
That's next play, and I think the next three. Now
you're gonna see him. Now he is in your traditional X.
He's facing press coverage and the cornerback is going to
jam him or try to jam him. Boom open that easy,
(47:31):
great throw. Look at that touch by Stafford. Look at
that touch like that is perfect. It's nice and easy.
Adams is able to catch it on the move. There's
separation there and another big game, another big game. I
think this one. Yep again he is the X here. No,
(47:52):
he's Z again, so he's the number one receiver up top.
He's on the outside again. One on one. He's facing
pressed easy, easy completion there, and.
Speaker 2 (48:04):
He's like, as it gets older, he's just using leverage
and he's almost he's just setting every every one of
every one of these rocks. He setting the DV up
for where he wants to.
Speaker 1 (48:14):
He's so smart. He's so smart, Like even if he
doesn't have the high the high end athleticism he did,
he's still so smart. He still has he has, he
still has great athletic traits, even if they're not elite,
they're still up there. And his smarts and just ability
to know how to beat corners off off the line
(48:35):
is amazing still. And this one, here's his touchdown. He's
up top. This is a gorgeous, gorgeous throw. It's just
too easy. Boom, touchdown, touch I want to play one
more time, but yeah, it's this is DeVante. Adams adds
(48:57):
something to this offense that can implements Pooka Nicula so well.
And Pooka Nicola had a game too, So this Rams
passing attack is capable of having two receivers that can
absolutely produce. So this this Eagles defense has its work
cut out for them. They are going to need to
(49:18):
really button stuff up and really like be on the
same page and can't afford to have any coverage breakdowns
throughout the game because this passing is going to make
them pay. But yeah, I am looking out for Devonte
Adams especially and seeing where he's gonna line up everywhere,
and you know how they're going to use them against
the Eagles defense. Anything you want to get.
Speaker 2 (49:41):
Now, I mean, it's just this is almost like g
And this is what I was worried about because before
even going to the offseason, I said, like, it's threat
and it was really about Stafford's back if he could
stay healthy. I thought that was a team with the
Devonte Adams signing and bring it back what they had
last year in their personalit. I was like, this is
a team that can give the Eagles a fit and
(50:03):
give the Eagles a run team in the NFC.
Speaker 1 (50:07):
Oh yeah, yeah, I again that that Matthew Stafford back
concern is the big thing. Two weeks in, he's fine.
We shall see how this plays out over there.
Speaker 2 (50:17):
And they changed DCS. Didn't. No, no, no, I'm sorry,
No they didn't. I don't think so, you know, because
I'm thinking about lou Aroma. But he's in he's in Indie.
Speaker 4 (50:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (50:26):
Uh, But yeah, this is gonna be an interesting, interesting
matchup the Rams. That passing tack is clicking. So again,
Eagles have a case on me. It could be wrong
team at the wrong time, but we shall find out someday.
The last one, you know, I had to do a
running back thing and uh, one of my favorite guys,
you know me, one of my sons, Ken Walker, had
(50:48):
a four out in week one. He bounced back in
a big way in Week two against the Steelers. He
looks so much healthier just one week difference.
Speaker 2 (50:58):
It looks like it was rookie season, early rookie season.
Speaker 1 (51:01):
It looks so good. To go play by play here
outside zone. This is right at the beginning of the game.
And the minute I saw this play, I'm like, oh, hey,
nine's back. He is back. That that that quickness and explosion.
Look at this outside zone now I wanted I want
you to see here and after the mesh point, Walker
is gonna almost immediately make this cut and so you
(51:25):
can tell that he knows he knows that cutbackling is
going to be there. The based on the alignment in
the box count, you've got the three Steelers defenders here,
so that that's easy, easy money for outside zone. So
he makes that cut and there it is. There's that
open running lane, gets to south. TJ. Watt can't get
(51:47):
him that that burst by Kenneth Walker is too good.
So TJ. Watt whiffs and Walker's off to the races
for a big game right at the beginning of the game.
So again, like outside zone, you're talking about Lant Kubiak
and this this is why Walker is going to feast
in this scheme because he's so good at running outside
zone and his vision, anticipatory skills, quickness and bursts are
(52:10):
so good. So that's that next two clips, Pete.
Speaker 4 (52:14):
You know me.
Speaker 1 (52:14):
When it comes to evaluating running backs, one of the
things I really look at and love to see is
one of a running back creates, especially behind the line
of criminal breaks down. What can you do as a
running back? And Kenneth Walker is is up there is
He's If he's not the best, he's top three in
terms of being able to create behind the line of
(52:35):
scrimmage when when there's nothing there to do.
Speaker 2 (52:39):
There is one play in this real that I honestly
think there's no other running back of the league that
could do what he did. He may not obviously I
think gives his ultimately the fastest. I think b Gihon
is a compliment of all those things. Takuan is a
compliment of all those things, and they're all elite athletic traits.
(53:00):
There's a player here. I think it's probably twos away
where it's just like his last Kenneth K nine, Kenneth
Walker the third a parentheses Barry Sanders. Yeah, that was
just great because he is after contact still to go forward, inefficient,
(53:20):
inefficient to tackle a tempt whoever that was, but I
was Cam Hayward.
Speaker 1 (53:25):
Hayward by the way, Yeah, I think it's what you're
talking about.
Speaker 2 (53:29):
Yeah, this this is just sick, like I don't know
any other running back in the league that can make that,
can do this.
Speaker 1 (53:37):
Yeah, No, it's so oh my. It's just like you
can tell he's kind of just towing with him. He
has his way with him and I don't.
Speaker 2 (53:47):
Know, remember, it's crazy.
Speaker 1 (53:49):
I don't know if you remember. I made the comparison
when I was watching heine as a prospect. I said,
the way he is in the backfield, it reminds me
of the Matrix because he's so poised back there, even
if there's early penetration and breakdowns slowed down and you
don't see him panic and it's like he moves faster
(54:12):
than everyone else and he's able to create like this
in ways where it's just like what are you doing? Like,
oh my god, like that's a three yard game, but
that is that's impressive.
Speaker 2 (54:24):
This one right here too, set him up, set him up,
don't yet.
Speaker 1 (54:30):
I think that was a wan Thornhill. And if you
can see on here, Thornhill literally Thornhill just freezes. He
gets flat footed and he's just he's frozen, like he
doesn't he's not moving for a good second. That's that's
just that's ridiculous open space running. And this one, yeah,
this is it.
Speaker 2 (54:49):
So this is.
Speaker 1 (54:51):
I put this stat out. No one in league history,
no one in NFL history, had scored a touchdown, third
or fourth down goal with I think, what is it?
Is it longer than fifteen yards to go? I think
it's longer than fifteen yards to go? I could that number.
(55:13):
I could have a slightly wrong, so don't quote me
on it, but I tweeted it out if you want
the actual numbers, but it's no one in NFL history
had scored a touchdown third or fourth in goal from
this far out, it's this is he's the first one
to ever do it. And this is amazing blocking by
(55:33):
the Seahawks offensive line absolutely downfield. But Kenneth Walker is
just his his speed, burst and vision to be able
to seemingly set up those blocks and then justave his
way through the traffic. My god.
Speaker 2 (55:50):
Yeah, like I said, like he has his burst back. Yeah,
he has his burst back. So I just wanted to
stay healthy.
Speaker 1 (55:58):
Yeah, absolutely, And that's that's the big think.
Speaker 4 (56:00):
And I know that.
Speaker 1 (56:02):
There He's probably going to continue to split carries with
Zach Charbonnay just because I think the Seahawks want to
make sure that Kenneth Walker is is healthy and he
stays healthy for all year because they know they need him.
I mean, like as much as like fantasy heads want
to argue and and try to believe that Charboney is
(56:23):
the better back, he's just not. Like you watched them,
and I think Richard Sherman had had even like said
it and I retweeted it. Uh, Richard Sherman was like,
there's charbon Ay is good, but Walker is on another level.
And it's it's apparently his ability to make big plays
and just create and and that combination. It's he His
(56:45):
athletic talent, his talent physical talent is elite. He has
he is in that category. He just has to stay healthy,
has to stay healthy. So but if he does, he does,
he is going to have a monster season. So that's
Ken Walker. That is our film room sessment for this week.
Let's get into our three step drop and this week
(57:07):
we're going to talk about top three studs of week two.
So they don't have to be in any order, just
named three guys who get who get your your top
three stars or whatnot. So you want to go first,
I have a first.
Speaker 2 (57:22):
I'll go Kenneth Walker.
Speaker 1 (57:25):
No, that was one mine too. Ah. Thirteen carries, by
the way, sideline was thirteen carries, one hundred five yards
of touchdown, one reception thirteen yards.
Speaker 2 (57:35):
I mean, but I mean that's to be expected. Number two,
so but he's honorable. Mentioned. Number two is Jonathan Taylor.
I think he oh yeah, one six two touchdowns, great, great,
(57:56):
great blitz. Pick up from my number one stud and
give it to him him. It's a cheesy name, but
Indiana Jones, Baby, I like that name.
Speaker 1 (58:07):
Jones.
Speaker 2 (58:08):
Indiana Jones. Baby, I'm telling you early call is Daniel
Jones comeback player of the year.
Speaker 1 (58:15):
I can see that happening. I was, I was rewatching
that game and looking at some of the time. I
didn't look through all the film because they didn't have
time too yet. But he's balling. He's absolutely balling. It's
fun to watch that. That colts offense. It is just
fun to watch because they have good receivers throughout you
talking about like Michael Pittman, Josh Downs, Aded, Mitchell Tyler
(58:36):
Warren and then obviously Jonathan Taylor, like they have weapons,
and Daniel Jones is playing lights out so far, so
awesome stuff. I hope he's able to keep it up
all year. I don't know if he is, like I
I still like I still am a little skeptical, but
it's been fun to see him play this way, so
(58:58):
hopefully he keeps it so. Absolutely. I I was debating
including him, so we would have had the same as
Act three, But my my first one was ken Walker
the Red Sideline already number two, yes, Bijon. His full
SAT line was twenty carries, one hundred and forty three yards,
three receptions for twenty five yards and if you look
at his run chart, I'm gonna pull it up here, like,
(59:21):
look how gorgeous that is, Like look at all the
green and look at like how many different ways it goes?
That is he only had one one carry that was
a tackle for loss. Yeah, that's that. That is a beautiful,
beautiful carry chart for Bjon Robinson. I mean, he's I
(59:44):
completely agree with Saqua I was saying even before he
said her, but John Robinson is the next great one.
Speaker 2 (59:51):
He is.
Speaker 1 (59:51):
He is that guy. He's absolutely that guy. And my third,
my third start of the week. This guy almost didn't
play last night because of illness. He played and he
had arguably the biggest impact of anyone on the field,
at least for any either defense, at least league game.
(01:00:14):
I'm especially hyped up about this guy because I picked
him up in fantasy last year because he was he
was really making some noise. And the more I studied here,
I'm like, Yo, this guy's gonna be elite this year,
And so far through two weeks, he's been elite. No
he is a rising star. By the season's end, he
(01:00:35):
is going to be considered like one of the elite
at his position. It's Dayon Henley Chargers Absolute stud full
stat line was one interception right off the bat and
the beginning of the game, one sack, nine total tackles,
a QB hit, and two passes defense. He was all
over the field and top it off. So like I
(01:00:59):
was going into last Night It's Games in Fantasy, I
was down big. I had like a twenty percent chance
of winning according to Sleeper, so I was likely going
to lose going to that game. Henley goes off. He
puts up like forty points for me, and I win
by like twenty points. So I he helped me. He
(01:01:20):
helped me complete the Monday night miracle for my team.
I was ecstatic. It was one o'clock in the morning
and I was like juiced up. I was like, let's go,
so Dyon Henley. If you're listening, if you're a viewer
that's listening to this, remember the name of Dayon Henley
because he is an emerging superstar. He's so good, so good,
(01:01:42):
all right, no huddle, any any quick topics. I have
a few, but I'll let you go first if you
have any.
Speaker 2 (01:01:52):
Trouble. Miami great game. Bad teams had good games that
they were entertaining I would say so that may be
a trend for the NFL this year. Uh, Bryce almost
got it done. I think he could do for three
thirty they lost to the Cardinal almost got it done.
(01:02:14):
I'm curious to see what Gina is going to do
by not throwing the ball, not throwing the ball the team.
I think he has two or three or four interceptions
to two games.
Speaker 1 (01:02:25):
The three had three last night. I forget how many
had the Week one, but I mean he played well
Week one, and then no one's gonna know that because
we too. He puts up a stinker in frime time.
So like everyone remember that bad Week one? It was bad.
Speaker 2 (01:02:39):
We too curious to dude, let me say this. I
don't know if J. J. McCarthy gets a job back, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:02:52):
Yeah, wouldn't that be fun?
Speaker 2 (01:02:56):
I mean if this ever, if you see what Kevin
O'Connell did for Sam.
Speaker 3 (01:03:01):
Donald, Yeah, I know.
Speaker 1 (01:03:07):
I don't want to say it. I don't want to
say it because like I don't want to jink shit,
and like it's probably just like the Eagles fans and
us like rooting for you want him to play here,
So like I I don't want to say it to
Jinx it, but yeah, I'm thinking it, you know, I'm
absolutely thinking it, and like I know, like I'm not
(01:03:31):
going to say that the Vikings, no matter how this
plays out, I wouldn't say the Vikings are going to
give up on J. J. McCarthy. I think along term
he's still don't to be their guy. But through two
games he has not looked good. I get look really
good for that.
Speaker 2 (01:03:44):
He may not be getting that much sleep. Him and
his girl just had a newborn son, so congrats congrats
to the new parents. However, I hope the babies doing
well and babies probably keep you up on that, JJ.
And uh. Last, no huddle is at any point it's
the forty nine er season goes downhill. Speaking on the
(01:04:07):
emphasis of how much we need to block and tight end.
Do you put a feeler out there for George kill No.
Speaker 1 (01:04:13):
They're not gonna trade him to us. I mean I would,
I absolutely would if the price is price cheap enough.
I love George Kittle, but they're not.
Speaker 2 (01:04:21):
Gonna I would love Darnell Washington as someone cheaping, so
what I someone that's one control, But I don't know
if the Steelers do that. But we'll see.
Speaker 1 (01:04:30):
Yeah, I know I've been Yeah, I've been wanting Darnell
Washington ever since they the Steelers traded for Jonder Smith.
I was like, yeah, three tight ends like trade us,
trade us Washington, you don't need them. But the word
is from from the Steelers is that they they like
all three of them want to keep off for some reason.
(01:04:50):
I don't know, but whatever whatever, maybe that changes or
I'll take what I'll take, move to I would take
him too. I would just I'll just bigger. Darnell's cheaper.
So I was like, and Dart now like could block right.
So so my mine are QB injuries. And I mean
you start with Justin Field, who got can cussed in
(01:05:12):
the game left and he's questionable for this upcoming week
depends if he practices on questionable. Daniels is now questionable
with that injury. We talked about McCarthy and the big one,
Joe burrow out at least three months at least.
Speaker 2 (01:05:30):
It got it got party now I got burrowed.
Speaker 1 (01:05:33):
And I swear on was it Monday, Yeah, yesterday, like
the news I felt like came back to back with
Daniels and the McArthur. I'm like, what is going on?
Like geez, so many quarterbacks going down with the injury.
You hate the scene. So hopefully they'll get y'all get better.
I was watching the Colts Broncos game, A good game.
(01:05:54):
Obviously I mentioned that earlier good game. Jonathan Taylor Jak
Dobbins had good games like fun game. The ending was
infuriating from an operational standpoint or sid decision making standpoint,
because for some reason, Shane Sikin decides to be okay
(01:06:16):
with setting up his his like inexperienced kicker to kick
ick from like fifty yards out. So he's running three
run plays with Jonathan Taylor to wind the clock down
all the way to the last few seconds, and it
ends up being a sixty yard field goal attempt for
the kicker, I forget his name. He's never attempted a
(01:06:37):
field goal attempt beyond fifty yards, so I don't know
why you would be okay with that. He attempts it,
he misses it badly to the right, but then the
Broncos get called for leveraging on the kick, which is
so dumb, because why would you do that on a
(01:06:57):
sixty yard field goal? With him, you probably don't need
to do any thing on a six D you're probably
gonna miss it. But yeah, they get caught for the penalty. Uh,
and the Colts try again and they win the game
with the with that field goal. So just really really
stupid stuff that you hate to see. And talking about
stupid stuff. I don't know if Caleb Johnson ever gets
(01:07:21):
his job back this season for the Steelers as the kicker,
because sir, what are you doing? Like, you're not even
in the rotation at running back right now. It's Jalen
Warren and it's kind of game. Well, your one responsibility
(01:07:41):
is kick kickoff returner. How do you not know the rules?
If that is your one responsibility, how do you not
make sure you know the rules? That's really bad, that's
what I and I think I saw a notification that
he's probably not gonna return kicks for the Steelers. So rookie,
that's wrong, that's wrong. That's wrong. And then my last
(01:08:04):
one is up, you know, talk about rookie running backs.
I know a lot of people in the fantasy community
are panicking because so many rookie running backs are not
doing well. I mean, Omario Hampton had a bad game
last year. I mean last night, Like I think the
ones that are doing the best right now are quinch
(01:08:24):
On Judkins, who just played his first game, literally just
played his first game. So like they've they've been doing well,
but everyone else is like r. J. Harvey had a
nice run in week one, but then didn't really do
anything this week. So like a lot of people are like,
what's going on? What's going on? But as I preach patience,
patience week too, it's definitely week two. They're rookies. I
(01:08:50):
think sometimes we get spoiled, especially running backs and be like, oh,
rookie running back that's drafted early, they're going to produce
right away.
Speaker 2 (01:08:56):
No, it doesn't even gent got boughted up yesterday.
Speaker 1 (01:09:00):
Yeah yeah, I mean the offensive line isn't great, so
he'll he'll put up this. He's too good. Hampton is
too good. Henderson who didn't do anything last yesterday or
this week too good? Are J? Harvey too good? Like
they're those four names especially, they're too good not to
contribute at some point this season. They will get their
just be patient, just be patient, and and it'll come.
(01:09:23):
So just just putting that out there for all the
people in fantasy football panicking and like should I sell
my rookie running backs bench trade them away, but just
just be patient.
Speaker 2 (01:09:33):
They're coming.
Speaker 1 (01:09:33):
They're coming. So all right, that is it for me
and then unless you got anything else for no.
Speaker 2 (01:09:42):
Happy. I saw I Phone seventeen pro release week, so
yeah it is.
Speaker 1 (01:09:46):
My parents were talking about getting one and yeah I
saw the one, the iPhone. I was like, that's interesting
that in two weeks and two weeks it would be broken.
So saying it's light, I'm assuming right, it's.
Speaker 2 (01:10:02):
Like thin, yeah, five point six, but it only has
one camera, which I think is a trade off because
at least you know, and it doesn't have an ultrawid.
So for those who are with so much information, if
you're not heavy into photography, but if you want to
you know anything right about ultra wid, you want to
take that type of shot cool. One of the best
(01:10:25):
implementations that they have made is now the base if
phone that has one hundred and twenty herds so promotion display.
But the center stage camera, which probably is now going
to be a cellphone industry trend, is the selfie camera
is a bigger censor but a square so just from
this orientation, you don't long have to turn your phone
to shoot landscape or portrait, so that's probably going to
(01:10:46):
be yeah.
Speaker 4 (01:10:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:10:49):
And the biggest reason I may upgrade is this, my
batteries is shot and it's it's not it's not shot
to the point to where I can go to Apple
Care and get a replacement, because it's like eighty eighty
three percent and that needs to be StEB eighty. But
I'm just doing certain things now and the phone just
gets super hot and I'm.
Speaker 1 (01:11:07):
Just like, yeah, I hate that. For the end of
you said you said in what was it, twenty twenty seven,
They're gonna it's look like the iPhone's gonna do the.
Speaker 2 (01:11:17):
Foldable, potentially as early as next year, and that's what
the iPhone Air may be a precursor to, because if
they do a foldable, the screens, the individual screens will be.
Speaker 1 (01:11:28):
That that then, yeah, that's what I'm waiting for. And
I mean, my phone is not paid off enough where
I can upgrade anyways. But even if it's not next year,
when that foldable comes out, I'm getting affordable. That's what
I want. I want the fold of them. Yeah, yeah,
hopefully think that's all right.
Speaker 2 (01:11:43):
