So let's get right into it, Ocho. The Chiefs beat the Giants.
Patrick Mahomes did enough.

Speaker 17 He is 22 of 37, 224

Speaker 17 passing yards, one touchdowns, no interception.

Speaker 17 Hey, they didn't make a whole lot of plays, but they made the plays that matter. Tyquan Thornton is starting to become his favorite receiver.
You can understand that.

Speaker 17 The only thing I had a problem with, he's trying to do things with tyquon underwood and tyquan underwood has only been there three four months

Speaker 17 that you would do with a veteran receiver hold on hold on then listen somebody got to answer the call we've been talking about the same thing the past three weeks no receivers nobody to throw to so i like the fact that he has trust in tyquan thornton that's why he's throwing him the ball he's throwing it to him for a reason no no no i'm not talking about no i'm not talking about throwing to him yo no he's the one that's stepping up i'm talking about he had a play i think it was what third down and he had they ran like they ran like a smash concept And the guy was in the flat wide open, and he threw it because the guy started coming up that was over him.

Speaker 17 He saw the guy, and what you call him, one pull up, so he went to him, and Mahomes and Mahomes threw it. That's something you and Carson after being together five or six years.

Speaker 17 That guy disappears, oh, Joe, get your head around right now, but put it on you.

Speaker 17 That's not that's something you build up over the course of the year. No, I ain't got no problem because he's making hell of a plays for him.

Speaker 17 And it seems to me he has he has the most confidence in him. Now, I don't know if you saw this, but you saw the third quarter on that third and six.
You saw who ran the option route? Yes, sir.

Speaker 17 Noah Gray. It wasn't Travis Kelsey.
Yeah.

Speaker 18 Yeah, Travis Kelsey came back and ran it again, though.

Speaker 18 What do you call the whip when y'all come in and come back out? Yep.

Speaker 18 Yeah, he came back and ran it at some other time, but they have to do things like that and switching and switching positions or switching the route concepts with Noah Gray and Travis Kelsey because they know what he's doing, huh?

Speaker 18 They know what he's doing. And most of the time, he's getting covered.
He's getting frustrated, not being able to get the ball. He got into it with Andy Reid on the sideline

Speaker 18 again.

Speaker 18 I'm probably being frustrated about not putting him in position to make some of the plays or whatnot.

Speaker 17 But listen, that happens.

Speaker 18 I mean, that happened. That's a part of football.

Speaker 18 I mean, Unc, I'm sure knowing you, you probably haven't gotten into altercations like that with your coaches, but it happens from time to time, especially in sports.

Speaker 18 When a player gets frustrated and they have a relationship with a coach like that, stuff like that happens. I got a question for you real quick.
You know what Akmar

Speaker 17 he went to betler i think he went to but he from down here in miami he from

Speaker 18 yeah bookie t washington high school yes sir yes sir yes

Speaker 17 he's coming on strong because he's making plays and maybe because he's healthy maybe they're giving him opportunities but new england's probably watching this game like we never saw any of that oh well listen you got to know how to use your players you got to know how to use your players that's what i'm saying yes you give you give him the right opportunities and put them in position to make those plays hell god damn my homes went to him deep, back to back, like it's goddamn 7-0-7.

Speaker 17 You got to.

Speaker 17 Because he's going to make a play. He's the only guy that can really make a play on the ball.
On that last play, Hollywood Brown. You know where the ball is.

Speaker 17 You stop, let the DB run up your back, get a penalty.

Speaker 17 You don't keep running when you see the ball under thrown, OJo. That's when you slow down, let the guy run over you.

Speaker 17 They throw the flag. That's what you're supposed to do.
These guys have been receivers far too long to make the most,

Speaker 17 to understand this at this point of their career.

Speaker 17 I understand, yes, the ball was underthrown, but that's when you help your quarterback out because you know it's underthrown. The DV didn't have his head around, he doesn't know it's underthrown.

Speaker 17 So now, if you slow down, his momentum is going to run over you, and the officials are going to throw the flag.

Speaker 17 But I like, uh, I like Taquan Thornton, he's trying to high point the ball, he's trying to make plays on the ball. Uh,

Speaker 17 but it was oh, Joe, the first half, this was terrible.

Speaker 17 This was a terrible game to watch. I was like, damn.

Speaker 18 It was the snooze fest.

Speaker 17 Yes.

Speaker 18 It was the snooze fest, honestly. And I don't know at what point I like that Taekwondo Thornton showed up tonight.

Speaker 18 Obviously, Mahomes is probably going to continue to target him because he's built up truss. He's built up trust with him.

Speaker 18 And Taekwondo, I know you're going to see this. When opportunities like this present themselves, and the door opens, close that motherfucker behind you, please.

Speaker 18 Close it behind you because you can get you, as the season continues to progress. They're going to find ways and put you in positions to make plays based on what you're able to do tonight.

Speaker 17 You're absolutely right, Ocho. And like I said, sometimes, Ocho, it's a situation where

Speaker 17 you have a quarterback

Speaker 17 and

Speaker 17 you have a system that's conducive to what you do. They let him stretch the field.
He ran for it too. You just can't run him on stop routes.
You just can't run him on comeback.

Speaker 17 Send him down the field on the nine balls. Send him on the field on the deep polls.
Send him on the far cross. And so maybe he's just getting an opportunity.
Maybe he's healthy.

Speaker 17 Maybe he's dealt with some injuries in New England, whatever the case may be. But he's been a bright spot for the Kansas City Chiefs offensively.

Speaker 17 It's still, it's, you know, and Mahomes,

Speaker 17 it's not like Mahomes is playing great. He's missing some throws too now.
Because I don't want what people say, well,

Speaker 17 I understand.

Speaker 17 Yes, he doesn't have the elitest of receivers, but he's missing some throws that he normally would make. Make, yeah.
And

Speaker 17 we're not used to seeing that we've gotten accustomed to seeing you know every year in the amc championship game and and the great throws and all these touchdowns and the mvps behind him he hasn't played well yeah yes he hasn't played well defensively they did an unbelievable job tonight held him to what nine points

Speaker 18 matter of fact not only holding the nine points and this is this i'm not calling spags i'm not calling spags bill belichick by by any means but spags does a wonderful job when he goes into a game and they say you know what we taking Uno away.

Speaker 18 We taking number one away. He's not going to beat us.

Speaker 18 Matter of fact, based on what he did last week against the Cowboys, he's not catching any deep balls or being productive and being a reason why the Giants even have a chance to win this game.

Speaker 18 And believe Neighbors did a hell of a job for one, not getting frustrated, two, not cutting up on the sideline. Because Spaggs, no matter what.
You are not going to beat us tonight.

Speaker 17 No, I just, I don't, I'm not going to run the same defense. I just want to shut him out in the first half.
Right. But see, what I want to do is take away early.
Yeah.

Speaker 17 Because now, once I take you away the first half, now you're not in a rhythm. I need to feel, I need to touch the ball.

Speaker 17 The football needs to touch my hand, Ocho, early in order for me to get into a rhythm, in order for me to feel like I'm being a participant in this ball game and that you guys believe that

Speaker 17 I can help you win the game. Now you spread it all around as you oh, we're going to spread the ball around.

Speaker 17 And then you come third, late, third, fourth quarter hey what you uh what you got oh joe i ain't got nothing but i had a lot in the first half i ain't got nothing now hey oh that's one of the worst feelings

Speaker 18 i do i don't think people understand you go into a game plan you practice wednesday you practice thursday you practice five friday you look at the you look at the first team scripted plays you know going to the game you feel you feel about yourself okay i got a chance to get the ball here yeah okay oh i lie i like this play here i'm glad we got this dialed up you get into the game you well into the third quarter you ain't touched the ball yet

Speaker 18 like

Speaker 18 i mean hello if i'm not mistaken malik navy didn't catch the ball to the third fourth quarter fourth i think the fourth like come on

Speaker 17 he out there running the boston marathon hey hey got some great cardio i don't need to come in i don't need to come in on monday and run no sort of side i got my sort of side and that's the thing ocho then you come out late third quarter hey keep your head in the game man i'm thinking about what i'm gonna order tonight for dinner man you talk about this game man y'all done bulljobe me all day and now y'all gonna talk about keep my head in the game man i'm thinking about this uh uh uh grilled chicken and rice from black eye pee uh uh these rolls with honey butter man i ain't man i'm done with y'all y'all done tried this bull job all day oh cho that we done go wednesday thursday hey It's my time to take a break and the backups to come in, Ocho.

Speaker 17 Hey, 84, we want this. Hey, this is going to be your play.

Speaker 17 Got me all geeked up? Man, I come and come sundie. Y'all pull this bull giant bad, please.
Man, y'all better get out of my face before I start cursing everybody.

Speaker 18 Hey, hey, it's it's so funny because I can envision it because I've been through it.

Speaker 17 Yeah, yeah,

Speaker 18 oh my goodness, man.

Speaker 17 And then you just realize, like, hey, man, you know what? It is what it is. It was the it was the games that I did not like the week of practice.
Yeah.

Speaker 17 You know, I catch one or two balls and he's like, okay, it's going to be one of those days.

Speaker 17 And then that's the, that was, that was the week that they turned, that they turned it loose go crazy and the week that they feeding you all these balls you tired and everything

Speaker 17 you don't do nothing yeah you you don't you don't you don't get any plays but i think the thing is is that

Speaker 17 and sometimes you're the last to realize it kansas city realized that kelsey is not the same

Speaker 17 if you notice they throwing that ball to noah gray an awful lot ocho yeah yeah they they they throwing it to him an awful lot and he's getting frustrated and i understand it because he's like i'm i'm still 8-7 i'm still kelsey on the back i'm still big time player

Speaker 17 but it's it's harder and harder um and and you know mahones a lot of times it might be his play call but mahon's getting flushed or getting pressure yeah most of the time and you know what might be happening too that we can't see most of the time the plays that would normally be for kelsey they might be putting noah gray in there They might be formations and having Noah Gray run those plays, understanding that, well, you know what?

Speaker 18 It's time to beat him out. It's time to beat him out little by little.
It's what they do to all the greats. It's what they do to all the greats.

Speaker 18 Think about

Speaker 18 Puku Nakua and Cooper Cup. Cooper Cup flash here in L.A.

Speaker 17 Who got all the balls?

Speaker 18 All of a sudden, all of a sudden, you go from a triple crown winner to now someone new comes in. Now they putting him in all the positions in the balls you used to get.
True.

Speaker 18 It's the same thing going over there in KC. You know, it just is he's lashing out about it and he's getting frustrated about it.

Speaker 17 Andy got frustrated because Andy bumped him.

Speaker 18 And you see, he bumped me back, huh?

Speaker 17 And that ain't, that ain't Andy. Big red ain't normally like that because you remember last time red just took it.
Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 17 This time, he's like, nah, nah, nah, nah.

Speaker 17 Red said,

Speaker 17 I ain't going for this.

Speaker 18 Nah, not today.

Speaker 17 They needed, they, they, they, they needed this. No, I've, me, honestly, um, I've never gotten into it.
You know, I've always tried to be mindful, knowing the cameras are on OJ.

Speaker 17 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know,

Speaker 17 excuse me.

Speaker 17 If I got a problem with my position coach, cool with my offensive coordinator, Matt Kavanaugh with my offensive coordinator, you know, hey,

Speaker 17 I'm going to see y'all on Monday. I'll be up there on Tuesday.
If I got a problem with something, if I had a problem with the coach,

Speaker 17 I'll handle it then. But nah, not to cause no scene.
I tried, and I was really good at that, of not causing a scene with my coaches on the sideline, understanding who I was.

Speaker 17 And it was was going to be, even if it was nothing, it was going to get blown up more than actually what it was.

Speaker 17 So let me just, let me just try to be, you know, discretion is the best part of valve and keep it down. And then behind closed doors, I'll say, hey, bro, I need y'all X, Y, and Z.

Speaker 17 But I've tried, you know, I tried to do that. And when guys would get upset, it's like, bro, hey.
There's going to be a time and a place for all that.

Speaker 17 Let's get behind closed doors and then we can have that. You can have that discussion or we can have that discussion.

Speaker 17 But everybody, but it's not always like that, Ocho. Sometimes the emotion, sometimes that thing just

Speaker 17 spills out. You just got so frustrated enough of this bull job.
Now, have I thrown my helmet? Absolutely. Yeah, have I thrown my helmet before?

Speaker 18 I think I've done it in practice

Speaker 18 on a Sunday on the sideline. I, I, uh-uh, I, I, I, I, I, I wouldn't do that.
And I've always had coaches. I'm not, I'm not saying Hugh Jackson was like Mike, Mike Tomlin, but I respected him so much.

Speaker 18 Yeah,

Speaker 17 I can't. I can't.

Speaker 18 It just wouldn't feel right.

Speaker 17 You know You know what I mean? Yep. I understand what you mean.

Speaker 17 Oh, Joe. Yo.
We're going to talk about this a little later. What, what, what? I know.

Speaker 17 Daniel Jones looking real. Indiana Jones looking good.
Hey, boy.

Speaker 18 What I told you yesterday, Uncle? This reminds me. This reminds me, Baker Mayfield in Cleveland.

Speaker 18 I'm going to tell you again, Sam Donald in New York, not being in the right system, not having the right pieces around you, and all of a sudden get to a team. Well, God damn, I could deal with this.

Speaker 18 Okay, this fits me. Matter of fact, they actually want me.

Speaker 18 Unfortunate circumstance because they didn't believe in Anthony Richardson. But, oh, I'm in the right place now.
Now look at me.

Speaker 17 Oh, it's no problems. We daddy dodge.
He dishing.

Speaker 18 He running. I mean, dog, they...
Dog, the Colts look good.

Speaker 18 My surprise team this season was the Bears and the Panthers. Well, the Bears and the Panthers won a day outside the first two weeks.
It looked abysmal.

Speaker 17 But I should have put the Colts in that. You should have.
I should have put the Colts in a group of teams that are going to surprise people this year because they're going crazy.

Speaker 17 They look really good. He got a good group around him.
They got a very decent offensive line. I think the thing is, Ocho, New York, you and I both know we've never played in New York.

Speaker 17 We understand the media, the scrutiny that comes along with playing

Speaker 17 in New York. And

Speaker 17 he struggled early. And then he had that one season.
He gets the contract and he struggles again.

Speaker 17 And

Speaker 17 it's hard. I mean, it's hard.

Speaker 17 It's hard to

Speaker 17 be hard of hearing. Right.
And because they write what they write.

Speaker 17 And even if you don't see it, somebody you know did see it and they send it to you or they tell you about it.

Speaker 17 And it gets hard. He's in Indy now.

Speaker 18 Yeah.

Speaker 17 And I think the biggest thing is, Ocho, he doesn't have the expectations. Were you the

Speaker 17 top pick? And you're going to New York. He was supposed to be the savior.
Yeah.

Speaker 17 And so when it doesn't happen.

Speaker 18 Hey, that's the wrong place to have to be the savior in New York.

Speaker 17 Yeah, for sure. Hold on, with them tabloids, with them newspapers.
With that fan base and the expectation, that's the Giants. Man, please.
They've been playing football since the 20s. Man, please.

Speaker 18 They don't play. Their expectations are very, very high.

Speaker 17 Very high.

Speaker 18 Then to be the quarterback, too, to be quarterback number one in New York, whether it's the Jets or the Giants, you got to have thick skin. Yes.

Speaker 18 You got to have very thick skin and have everything going one ear and out the other. Eli Manning was really good at it.

Speaker 17 Yes. He was really, really good at it.

Speaker 17 Oncho, it's about time for us to have this discussion. What, what, what happened? What happened? Russ.

Speaker 17 Oh,

Speaker 17 you know it's coming. Hold on.
You know it's coming, Ocho. You know it's coming too.
Hold on, man. Hold on, man.
Come on. Come on, man.

Speaker 18 I mean, hey, we talk about God's child now. Hey, talk about God's child.

Speaker 17 Look like God likes Jackson. God might be favoring Jackson Dart more now.

Speaker 17 I don't know. But, Ocho, but when you think about it, Ocho, you know, when they start putting that quarterback in there and giving him plays, you know, it's only a matter of time.

Speaker 18 They did that. They did that week one now.
They did that week one, too. They had small packages for him just to get him, just to get him acclimated, get him, get him in.

Speaker 17 Have you seen their schedule?

Speaker 18 It don't get no easier

Speaker 17 hey they got the eagles they got the eagles twice they got the broncos the chargers the only game the only game that's part that looks like it might be winnable right but it's on the road uh-huh is the saints well hold on wait a minute hold on

Speaker 18 they're going into a gauntlet of very difficult games they got the eagles twice right the saints might be the old only winnable game it would you want to make a switch to jackson dart and put him under fire against the chargers getting ready to go against the eagles defense man you you don't want you know man don't don't don't kill a kid confidence already this ain't this ain't the preseason no

Speaker 18 i understand that and you understand the way teams are going to dial up defenses you with a rookie quarterback what's the first thing they're going to do oh man sit in the house at him confusing confusing

Speaker 17 the the question is

Speaker 17 how long can he keep the natives at bay the fan base the team how long can he keep him at bay Ocho?

Speaker 17 Because

Speaker 17 you took this guy in the first round and everybody saw how well he played in the preseason. Forget that it's not the regular season.
People don't care about that.

Speaker 17 They saw what he did in the preseason. And so it offered them hope.

Speaker 17 Oh, Ocho, you know, you've been out with, hey, sometimes, hey, you might not get a four-course meal, but sometimes, you know, some bread and some water and some rice, do miracles.

Speaker 17 It might not be no porter house.

Speaker 17 It might not be no wagu or no tomahawk right right hey it offers you something some nourishment it offers you some hope right right right does jackson dar open and i think you look at russ numbers and and i'm like you you go last week and you pray you throw for the second most yards of your career 450 yards yeah yeah they were it was the bad turnovers though ojo yeah

Speaker 18 at a key every time yes but obviously that turnover towards the end towards the end of the game that went high i think he was trying to throw the corner route to um to neighbors remember he got hit he got hit so it still goes on it still is

Speaker 18 as an interception by him but other factors go it go into those things uh i i think i how many how many more weeks you give them before they make a change what you think i well bill you had a bet over under eight i said it's gonna be under eight you said it'll be over Yeah,

Speaker 17 I'm sticking with my under. I think they make a quarterback change.
Chad now, I'd be interested to know what you guys think.

Speaker 17 But I think it's going to be, I definitely think it's going to be under eight weeks before they're going to make a change on y'all.

Speaker 18 Damn, man. Hold on.
I need my chapstick, but my lips feel like powdered donuts.

Speaker 17 It's going to be very interesting.

Speaker 17 I think, you know, look,

Speaker 17 the combination of... Daniel Jones looking so good.
And maybe that's an indictment, Chad. Maybe that's an indictment on Brian Dayball.

Speaker 17 Maybe he's not the whisperer that we thought he was, but he had such success.

Speaker 17 What happened was, is that he went to Buffalo and Buffalo had such success and he had such success with Josh Allen. Come to find out, Josh Allen was going to have success with anybody.

Speaker 17 Because look at he wasn't the MVP and his offensive coordinator that he had success with wasn't there. So that's not to discredit that Brian Dayball because, yes,

Speaker 17 he has a good offensive mind.

Speaker 17 But for whatever reason, it's not translating with Russ. And

Speaker 17 Malik Neighbor is like, hold on. I had worst quarterback last year.
And look at my numbers. Yeah.

Speaker 17 Because that's what, ultra, as a receiver, all I can go by is like, I don't care what you did at Seattle, at Denver, at Pittsburgh. What are you doing here?

Speaker 17 Because look at my numbers, what I had last year. Look at the quarterbacks.
I had

Speaker 17 Tommy DeVito and some of the guys that I had. And I had 112 catches.

Speaker 18 So hold on. You got to understand, too.

Speaker 17 Also, you're a rookie.

Speaker 18 You're a rookie. So you're playing a 17-game season.
We don't care what you did at LSU. These are the coordinators ain't finna respect you.
You're gonna have to prove yourself to us before you give

Speaker 18 you the kind of attention you get now.

Speaker 18 See, it's different now.

Speaker 18 One of the things, one of the testaments that makes a great receiver is not what you do your rookie year, it's being able to do what you do week in and week out when they know you're coming.

Speaker 18 Well,

Speaker 17 you've arrived now.

Speaker 18 Now you still got to be able to keep up that

Speaker 18 same work, that same production.

Speaker 17 Give me

Speaker 17 the giant schedule the next seven weeks.

Speaker 17 Next eight weeks. Give me just the next eight weeks, eight, nine weeks.

Speaker 17 I think they got the Chargers next week. I think they're on the road at the Chargers.

Speaker 18 That'll make it no better.

Speaker 18 That'll make it. That'll make it no better.

Speaker 18 But

Speaker 18 the Chargers look good again.

Speaker 17 You're definitely right, Ocho. They got their work cut out for them.
Yeah. They got their work cut out for them.
You know, Philly, they got Philly in a span twice in the span of a month.

Speaker 17 Damn.

Speaker 18 She put it up. Hold on.

Speaker 17 Guys, I want to read you their schedule. Oh, here it is.

Speaker 17 They're at the Chargers next week. Then they're at the Saints.

Speaker 17 They're home against the Eagles. At the Broncos, at the Eagles.
So they got the Eagles

Speaker 17 in a span of three weeks. They got the Eagles.
So here's their schedule. Chargers, Saints, Eagles, Broncos, Eagles, Niners, Bears,

Speaker 17 Packers, Lions. Ooh.

Speaker 17 Man, who the hell gave them that schedule?

Speaker 18 I'm not talking about the division games. I'm talking about outside of that.

Speaker 17 Hey. That's nasty work.

Speaker 17 For sure.

Speaker 17 Woo.

Speaker 17 And so.

Speaker 17 Next five. So the Chargers, Saints, Eagles, Broncos, Eagles.
That's the next five weeks, Ocho.

Speaker 18 They probably, well, listen, I give them, they could beat the Saints and they could beat the Broncos. So I give them two games out of that little gauntlet.

Speaker 19 What a matchup we got, y'all.

Speaker 21 This is that classic HBCU5.

Speaker 22 Non-stop action.

Speaker 23 The band is rocking and the crowd flick.

Speaker 24 Chance echoing.

Speaker 21 Drum beating.

Speaker 22 Everybody's showing that school pride.

Speaker 24 Game like this?

Speaker 25 Yeah, it calls for an ice-cold Coca-Cola.

Speaker 22 Ah, crisp and refreshing. That's a game changer right there.

Speaker 17 Mmm, yeah.

Speaker 19 That taste always hits the right note, just like a band at halftime.

Speaker 21 And just like that, we're back at it.

Speaker 27 Passionate fans, school colors everywhere, and an ice-cold Coca-Cola?

Speaker 25 That's a winning combo.

Speaker 20 No matter the sport, no matter the yard, everybody knows.

Speaker 5 Fan work is thirsty work.

Speaker 19 So grab a Coca-Cola and keep that HBCU pride going.

Speaker 17 Okay, okay, beat the uh uh beat the Broncos and beat the charges.

Speaker 18 I'm just saying. I'm just saying.

Speaker 17 I'm just just saying.

Speaker 17 The Eagles beat the Rams by the score of 33-26, the last time the Eagles blocked two field goals in a single game, September 21st, 1975, against the Giants.

Speaker 17 50 years to the day, history repeated itself, though this time it was a walk-off winner. Los Angeles, the Rams looked to be like world beaters through the first half, Ocho.

Speaker 17 The Eagles managed just 33 yards, including negative one passing in the first half, their lowest output since 2015. However, the Eagles roared back, scoring 26 unanswered points.

Speaker 17 And in the end, the Eagles managed to pass for more than 200 yards. The Rams, 196.
I think the Rams only had 33 yards in the second half.

Speaker 17 The Rams fell apart in the game, and the week second day was a big reason why.

Speaker 17 This is what the Eagles are going to have to do, Ocho. Teams are not going to let Saquon beat them.
Hey,

Speaker 17 they're not going to let Saquon beat them.

Speaker 17 Okay, go ahead. Go ahead.
No, go ahead.

Speaker 17 I want to hear what you want to say. Go ahead.

Speaker 18 I was so excited. I was so excited watching this too.

Speaker 17 At the half,

Speaker 18 everybody talked about, oh, we got negative, whatever it may have been. He might have been fourth, eight, for 17 yards.

Speaker 18 My tweet at 218, 218 at the half was Jalen Hurst will be able to prove himself with this arm this game. And that makes me happy so he can quiet the doubters.

Speaker 18 Being behind at the half can be a good thing.

Speaker 18 And I knew Patula was going to have to come out. stop running the ball, stop playing safe because you're able to lean on the run to be able to throw when you want to.

Speaker 18 Because Jalen Hurst can do what you ask of him when need be. And I knew in the second half, they didn't have a choice but to put the ball in the air.
Correct. Jalen Hurst can do that.

Speaker 18 The same way they did against the Chiefs. The Chiefs said, Spaghett says, We're not letting Saquon beat us in the Super Bowl.

Speaker 17 What did Jalen Hurst do?

Speaker 18 Went towards what?

Speaker 17 Throw it. He threw it.
He threw it.

Speaker 18 He threw it. So

Speaker 18 people thinking I'm not your damn, so I'm this damn prophet because of what I said, because they were down 19 or whatever they were down to the half. But I knew it was going to happen.

Speaker 18 The defense is already good enough. The defense is already good enough.
All they have to do and Petula have to call plays for AJ goddamn Hercules Brown and Devontae Smallman Smitty.

Speaker 18 And you're going to be all right.

Speaker 17 Just get him the ball. It's not that hard.

Speaker 17 It's not that hard. It's AJ.

Speaker 17 Hearst was 21 of 32,

Speaker 17 226, three touchdowns, no interceptions. Saquon was 18 rushes, 46 yards, but it was A.J.
Brown in the second half. He had six catches for a buck of nine and a touchdown on 10 targets.

Speaker 17 Devontae Smith had eight for 60 and a touchdown. I have a question, y'all.
Yeah, go ahead.

Speaker 18 How come, and it's so funny.

Speaker 18 And in the second half, I came back and I followed up on a tweet and said, listen, I told y'all what Jalen Hurst was going to do, but Tula called a great second half and then all the people was uh all the all the eagles fans like man but tula ain't called nothing jalen hurts was calling them plays i mean listen here the officer coordinator credit give him credit y'all y'all don't like his play calling you didn't like it this week you didn't like it the week before but they continue to win the games that was his play calling i think now He can trust Jalen Hurts to be able to do something a little different outside of what they normally do.

Speaker 18 Matter of fact, open up the goddamn game with the pass. Why can't you play the second half in the first, like you did the second half in the first half?

Speaker 17 Or why not play like that all four quarters?

Speaker 17 It'd be interesting.

Speaker 17 You know, you ask yourself, like, why we don't do that? Sometimes you're in desperation.

Speaker 17 And when you're desperate, you, you know, you, you resort and then you throw the ball and you get the ball to your best players. They should always try to get the ball to A.J.

Speaker 17 Brown and Devontae Smith. But for whatever reason, hey, they hard-headed.
They're going to run the football and do all this other stuff.

Speaker 17 And then when the rubber needs to meet the road, you got two playmakers. And you know what? Let's go ahead and put the ball ball in our playmaker's hands.
And they did that today. And

Speaker 17 it was beneficial. Devontae Adams would love to have one of those balls back.
He had Blankenship beat again for a touchdown and he let it slide through.

Speaker 17 And, you know,

Speaker 17 it got blocked. And the kicker, you kicked it low the first time.
They blocked it. You kicked it low again.
They blocked it again. I don't know if he kicked it low, but he got so much push.

Speaker 17 I'm like, damn, Jordan Davis was damn near in his lap.

Speaker 18 You also, Uncle, you got to think, depending on how far back they were for the kick, you got a choice but to hit it low. Cause you hit it high, you're not going to get the distance.

Speaker 17 But the thing is, I don't think it was but like a 40-something yard kick. It might have been 45 yards with the kicker leg today, OJo.
That should be

Speaker 17 that's a chip shot. You know, back in the day, it's 25 yards.
That's a chip shot.

Speaker 17 40 to 45 yards, that's a chip shot field goal. Because the guys now, they're driving this ball.
I mean, they're kicking the ball.

Speaker 17 I mean, most kickers are good from about 50, at least 54.

Speaker 18 Yeah, yeah, absolutely. I got a question, too, in that special teams.

Speaker 18 The people that's hopping over the guard and the tackle, as long as they don't touch the guard to tackle or impede them, as long as you don't get leverage.

Speaker 17 If you leave your feet, you cannot lie. You can't brace off him or you can't land on him.

Speaker 18 Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay. Well, honestly, all you got to do is put a small guy there.
All you got to put some, put somebody small

Speaker 18 that's athletic, and they can get to the goddamn field go damn near every time.

Speaker 17 Well, what they did is it looked like they lined the two Georgia boys up next to each other. They just rooted the guard up out of there.
They drove him back. And Jordan Davis got his hands up.

Speaker 17 He blocked it. It's rare that you see the guy that blocks it.

Speaker 17 That lets you know how far, just how much penetration he got. Because not only did he block it, he scooped it up and ran it back.

Speaker 17 Normally, the guy that blocks it, Ocho, is one of the wings of somebody like that that's coming around the edge.

Speaker 17 He got so much penetration. Not only did he block it, he scooped and scored.
And he was running too.

Speaker 18 Yeah. Oh, he was moving, wasn't he?

Speaker 17 Hey, they ran almost 19 miles an hour.

Speaker 18 But Jordan Davis, about about what, 300 pounds, ain't he?

Speaker 17 No, he probably about three,

Speaker 17 probably about 320, 325. Because, you know, at one point in time in Georgia, but he doesn't, he lost weight because he knows in order for him to make the money that he wants to make,

Speaker 17 he just can't be a one-down, two-down player, first to second. Now he's turned himself into a three-down player.
Now they leave his ass in there on third down. He can collapse the pocket.

Speaker 17 He can sack the quarterback. Now he's like, hey, Eagle, y'all going to pay me or somebody going to pay me because i want some big bucks and no whammies right

Speaker 17 i love to see that for the young man because he was a he's he's still a huge man yeah but now he's turned himself he's got himself in condition that he can play more than 20 30 snaps a game you could see now you see the difference here and uh

Speaker 17 if i'm big daz because you know reports are that tampa bay is thinking about bringing dazz back wait

Speaker 17 i thought he came back well he might be i i was reading that he might be came back he came back. But

Speaker 17 if I'm Daz, I reach out to Jordan Davis and say, man, what you do, man? Right. Because, man, you lost like 40, 50 pounds.
Man, what you do?

Speaker 17 How do you do that? Yeah. Because Jordan Davis said, you know what?

Speaker 17 I just don't. I don't want to be a two-down player.
And two-down players don't make as much money as three-down players. And I want to make as much money as I possibly can.

Speaker 17 I'm in a great situation and I want to get paid. And the young man is playing his ass off.
He's rushing to pass it. We know he can stop your run.
Yeah. He's a mountain of a mammoth of a man.

Speaker 17 But now he's turned himself into a three-down player, Ojo. The sky is the limit.
But the Eagles score 26 unanswered points, and they come back and win the ball game by the, what,

Speaker 17 29, 20, oh, 27, 26. Yeah.

Speaker 18 Yeah. Listen, Unc, that's what a top five quarterback does.

Speaker 18 That's what the top five quarterback does.

Speaker 17 Stats are cool.

Speaker 18 Numbers are cool. It looks good.

Speaker 18 But

Speaker 18 like Unc say,

Speaker 18 when the rubber meets the road and you need something done, like coming back,

Speaker 18 like Batula and Jalen Hurst just did in that second half. Yeah.
That's what a top five quarterback does.

Speaker 17 Oh, Joe. I'm just saying.
You see what happened on the tush push?

Speaker 17 The guard left early again.

Speaker 18 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. They got to get their timing together.
They got to get their timing together.

Speaker 17 They got to get your time to the officials. Got to call it.

Speaker 18 Oh, they didn't call it today.

Speaker 17 No, they didn't.

Speaker 17 And the guard was clearly gone.

Speaker 18 Oh, I was, I was listening with no sound. It wasn't no sound where I was at.

Speaker 17 Yeah, yes.

Speaker 17 Uh,

Speaker 17 because the guy, the guard, the guy, the guard is moving early. Yeah.

Speaker 17 And

Speaker 17 that's a, I mean, it's already an advantage because you get the aid to runner. But in that situation like that, I think, I think, I think they're going to end up

Speaker 17 banning it.

Speaker 18 The tush push?

Speaker 17 Yep.

Speaker 17 And

Speaker 17 I don't think it has anything to do

Speaker 17 with

Speaker 17 the risk for injury goes up. Hell, the risk of injury is there on every damn player.
If you're an offensive, defensive lineman, because that's all y'all do is bang.

Speaker 17 We get to take a play off. Hell, if it's a run the other way, we can run off or we can just pretend like we're trying to cut you off.

Speaker 17 Hey, when you're an offensive, defensive lineman, you bang every damn play. Yeah, pause.

Speaker 17 Oh, Joe.

Speaker 17 A week after the Giants, Russell Wilson threw for 450 yards and three scores. Caleb Williams lit up the Cowboys' secondary

Speaker 17 four TDs. Five touchdown passes against Dallas has allowed of 25 yards or more.
Leads the NFL.

Speaker 17 Caleb Williams is the first player with 225-plus passing yards and three or more passing touchdowns in any half this season.

Speaker 17 Jerry Jones still believes the Cowboys are a playoff caliber team despite the one and two start. Okay,

Speaker 17 they can't get to the quarterback.

Speaker 18 I told you.

Speaker 18 I told you about Kaylin Williams. All y'all that was talking trash about him.

Speaker 17 I told you.

Speaker 18 Give him some time.

Speaker 18 Give him some time. It's year two.

Speaker 18 Ben Johnson just got there. A lot of creativity set in.
It's like your first date.

Speaker 18 When you go on your first date, you got to get to know each other. You got to find out what each other like.
I got to understand what you can and what you can't do. Okay, you like this?

Speaker 18 Okay, this works. Okay, okay.
You want me to open the card up for you? Okay, but you want me to order first?

Speaker 18 Okay, I'm gonna wait till your food gets here.

Speaker 18 Like all the little small things, all the little tiny nuances, huh? And then when it all comes together,

Speaker 18 it starts to mess.

Speaker 17 It's a beautiful thing.

Speaker 18 It's a beautiful thing. Because today, it was a beautiful thing, huh?

Speaker 18 Every trick play worked damn near. The running game worked.
Caleb We was accurate. He was sharp.

Speaker 18 Eyes down the field the whole time.

Speaker 18 I mean, it was beautiful.

Speaker 18 And most people will say, oh, relax. They was playing the Cowboys.
Oh, relax. They was playing the Cowboys.
Hey, well, that's Jerry's fault.

Speaker 18 He let one of the best pass rushes, if not the best pass rusher go, and said his team got better. He said his defense got better.
Well, based on what we saw today, I think that might have been a lie.

Speaker 18 CeeDee Lamb, I hope you're okay, boy.

Speaker 17 Yeah, I knew that was bad. It looked like a high ankle sprain because I've

Speaker 17 had mine roll like that inside.

Speaker 17 That thing hurt. That thing hurt.
Caleb Williams was 19 to 28, 298, four touchdowns. It was unbelievable.
Luther Burton, the third, three catches, 101, one touchdown.

Speaker 17 Roma Dunzay, three for 62, touchdown.

Speaker 17 DJ Moore, four for 21, a touchdown.

Speaker 17 But as a Cowboy,

Speaker 17 y'all not going to win the game with four turnovers. Who y'all think y'all going to beat with Dak Torn throwing two picks?

Speaker 17 Milton throwing a pick, and then Javante Weave had the guy just take the ball out of his hand from behind.

Speaker 18 And that was a good play, too, though.

Speaker 17 Hell of a play.

Speaker 17 Hell of a play. Hell of a play.
Hell of a play. It was.
It absolutely was.

Speaker 18 That was a really good play.

Speaker 17 It might be a long season for the Cowboys. Yeah.
I mean, I could have told you that.

Speaker 18 I could have told you that when the man wanted to be in the goddamn front of the camera all the goddamn time. They better hope, coach, let the players play.

Speaker 17 They better hope CD come back soon. CD, they better go CD come back.
ASAP.

Speaker 17 Look, how ankle spring?

Speaker 18 He might be, he may be out for a week. Maybe a week.

Speaker 18 I mean, if that.

Speaker 17 Because the thing is, Ocho Bad, look, you're a receiver, bro. You got to be full speed.
You can't be hobbling. No, at all.

Speaker 17 You can't.

Speaker 17 And especially he'll slot. So you got to be able to plant, stop, cut, change direction.
You got to be able to do all that.

Speaker 18 And that's his bread and butter. That's his bread and butter, too.
Yak.

Speaker 18 I mean, being able to get the ball and react, change directions. Yeah.
Lateral movement, all that. So, I mean, I give him maybe a week.

Speaker 18 I think he missed a week at most.

Speaker 17 And guess what happened today? What?

Speaker 17 They kept Caleb Williams clean. He didn't get sacked.
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
Now, here's the guy that got sacked six to eight times. He had gotten sacked.

Speaker 17 If I'm not mistaken, he had got sacked the second or third most times of any, the second or third most sacks of a season by a quarterback.

Speaker 17 Yeah. And look at the team.
Look at he had gotten sacked this year. Cowboys didn't get him.
Yeah.

Speaker 18 I mean, I wonder why.

Speaker 18 I think the one person who could have got sacked today, I think he had Green Bay, if I'm not mistaken.

Speaker 18 But let the owner tell it. He said they got better.

Speaker 17 I mean, those were his words. Nobody believed that.

Speaker 17 You don't let your best players go and get better.

Speaker 17 Now, eventually. But no, it's going to take some while.

Speaker 17 It's going to take some time because you got to get, you have got to be able to put pressure on the quarterback because everybody can put pressure on your quarterback

Speaker 17 so the cowboys hey the eagles they got the eagles again they got the commanders uh uh um

Speaker 17 the giants played them tough um

Speaker 17 but they you know it's interesting to see what their schedule is gonna look like the rest of the season yeah

Speaker 17 because ain't nobody really ain't nobody trying to hear that they missed the playoffs again Yeah, it's a man It's only week three now.

Speaker 17 We got a long way to go.

Speaker 18 We got a long way to go.

Speaker 17 After Joe Burrow went down last week with a toe injury. Man, come on, man.
You gonna stand to the end of the show? The Bengals insisted they wouldn't panic.

Speaker 17 They believe Jake Browning could run their offense well.

Speaker 17 Bengal might need to call Falcons about old first cousin.

Speaker 17 Now the Falcons say, nah, after we what we saw today in Carolina, we're gonna hold on to first cousin. We might make, hey, we might make him

Speaker 17 make him a permanent member of the family.

Speaker 18 Yeah.

Speaker 18 I could be honest. I could be honest.
I know I got a lot of Vikings fans in here. You know,

Speaker 18 I showed you love today.

Speaker 18 I talked a little trash.

Speaker 18 I talked to a little trash.

Speaker 18 Somebody tweeted out, give me one team that's guaranteed to lose today. Guess who I tweeted out? The Vikings.

Speaker 18 So, listen, I thought we was going to win. I was feeling good.

Speaker 18 I felt good. I personally felt good about Drake Browning being able to lead the Bengals to victory today.
Obviously, things didn't go the way I'd expected them. They didn't go the way I expected them.

Speaker 18 Interceptions, fumbles, and

Speaker 18 before I even go into the game, before I even go to the game, goddamn Isaiah Rogers.

Speaker 18 Isaiah Rogers.

Speaker 17 Defensive player of the week.

Speaker 18 Hey, boy, you defensive player of the month because I don't think nobody else is going to pull none of that off what I saw today, boy.

Speaker 17 You was all over the place, boy.

Speaker 18 You was all over the place, but you need to change the

Speaker 17 number from two to one.

Speaker 17 Pick six. Pick one.
Because you had four, bro.

Speaker 17 He had three force, three force turnovers. Two touchdowns.

Speaker 17 Hey, but

Speaker 18 Isaiah Rogers, boy. I salute you, boy.
You was the real deal today, boy. Oh, Madden.
I got you. I'm going to take care of you.

Speaker 18 Today, the Vikings put belt ass, but we'll see you again.

Speaker 17 I mean, I'm looking at his car. I was like, damn.
All right. All right.

Speaker 17 Okay.

Speaker 17 Hold on.

Speaker 18 We know why we lost by that much.

Speaker 17 We don't know. We don't.

Speaker 18 No, I'm not going to say it because I don't make excuses, but we know why we lost. The Minnesota Vikings were the better team.

Speaker 17 Okay.

Speaker 18 Isaiah Rogers won that game.

Speaker 18 Turning the ball over. They had points.

Speaker 17 Y'all played defense. Y'all didn't have to let them score.

Speaker 17 Okay. They got, okay, they got 14.
They got 12. They got 14 points.
Where'd they get the other 34 from?

Speaker 18 Isaiah Rogers.

Speaker 17 No, no, no, no, no, no. Isaiah Rogers gave them 14.
Where'd they get the other 34 from?

Speaker 18 Listen, Isaiah Rogers was playing so well. I mean, he boosted the team morale.

Speaker 17 Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Speaker 18 It's Isaiah Rogers won the game. That's all I'm that's all I got to say.

Speaker 18 He's all I want to talk about. I just want to talk about him because he just

Speaker 18 won the game.

Speaker 17 Last time I heard somebody say Jake so many times that I was watching training day, Jake,

Speaker 17 Jake,

Speaker 17 I won't get that money,

Speaker 17 Jake.

Speaker 17 Oh, hey, I'm so mad. Lizzo, with Lizzo, Lizzo,

Speaker 17 with

Speaker 17 what you call it, shot him in his butt.

Speaker 17 Yeah.

Speaker 18 Oh, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 17 Hey, hey, that was

Speaker 18 a classic, boy.

Speaker 17 Yeah. Oh, Joe, y'all in trouble.
No, no, we're going to be fine.

Speaker 18 We're going to be fine. I guarantee you.

Speaker 17 We're going to be fine next week.

Speaker 18 You know what I don't like? This is the one thing I do hate.

Speaker 18 I'm going to be serious right now. It's obviously the playbook, it shrinks significantly when you go from Joe Burrow to Jake Browning because there are things that Joe Burrow is great at.

Speaker 18 There's a reason why he's top five quarterbacks in the NFL and you go to your backup quarterback. And there's certain things that Joe can do that Jake can't.

Speaker 18 And I think it's very stressful for Zach Taylor as well because you can't call the same plays that you would for Joe Burrow with Jake Browning. And it limits, it limits the play calling.

Speaker 18 And I hate that for us. I hate that for us offensively.
i hate that for us as fans and

Speaker 18 what i think what i think zach should do is we should throw the whole kitchen sink at jake browning

Speaker 18 just pretend like he's joe and run the same goddamn plays

Speaker 18 same offense just just just put put it on the plate we ain't got nothing to lose what's that

Speaker 18 me

Speaker 18 oh joe But that's

Speaker 17 chat. Y'all heard this man say he not going to make excuses.
And what did he do? He just turned around and said two minutes of making excuses. Man, you know, the playbook shrink.
The playbook shrinks.

Speaker 17 Well, you know that. You know that.

Speaker 18 You know that. No, I'm just, I'm just giving the people that's listening.
I'm giving them insight to

Speaker 18 one of the reasons why we looked the way we did.

Speaker 17 That's all.

Speaker 18 I gave the Vikings credit.

Speaker 18 I gave the Viking credit. Carson went, hell of a job.

Speaker 17 You know,

Speaker 18 I'm back to Isaiah.

Speaker 17 That's why they won the game.

Speaker 18 Hey, somebody tweeted Isaiah Rogers telling me.

Speaker 17 What did that say?

Speaker 18 What did that say?

Speaker 17 Play like a Raven?

Speaker 17 Now,

Speaker 17 I wonder if I, how could you get one of these?

Speaker 17 Hey,

Speaker 17 you, I, I, you know, I don't like that.

Speaker 17 I don't, I don't like that.

Speaker 18 What don't you like? The fact that you continue to talk about the Ravens. That's like basically bragging about having a one-night stand.

Speaker 18 Hey, you, you was

Speaker 18 in and out. Now, the only team that you can talk about.

Speaker 17 Leave me alone.

Speaker 18 I ain't bothering nobody.

Speaker 18 But you bought something. You bought something.
Talk about Ravens. Like Ravens.
Like, that makes no sense.

Speaker 17 You are a Bronco.

Speaker 18 You, you're a Bronco. Everything, anytime you talk, you know, with your chest out, it should be about the Broncos.
That's it.

Speaker 17 Oh,

Speaker 18 what's that?

Speaker 18 That's again the bagels?

Speaker 17 It's your Liz.

Speaker 17 And what uniform I got on?

Speaker 18 Oh, I mean, I wasn't there.

Speaker 17 What?

Speaker 18 Hey, you look. I'm trying to think who that is.

Speaker 17 Don't worry about it.

Speaker 17 He had to smell the odor.

Speaker 17 Referee raised his arm. That's all I know.

Speaker 18 Hey, it's all good.

Speaker 17 It is all good, oh, Joe. I don't know why you try to diminish me and the Ravens.

Speaker 18 Time out, time out, time out, time out, time out. Why are you even bringing up anything Ravens related anyway, and they don't play to tomorrow?

Speaker 17 That's me at the press conference. What press conference?

Speaker 17 I'm trying to.

Speaker 18 Why are you trying to deflect? The Broncos got belt to ass tonight. The Broncos lost, huh? The Broncos lost to the Chargers.
What happened? Let's talk about Bo Nicks. Let's talk about Sean Payton.

Speaker 17 We talk about L Jack

Speaker 17 and Derrick Henry.

Speaker 18 They don't play till tomorrow.

Speaker 17 And Zay Flowers and Rashad Bateman.

Speaker 18 Oh, so you don't want to talk about the Broncos losing, huh?

Speaker 17 You don't want to talk about that. All I know is, I tell you what, we won't lose next week.
Bet that.

Speaker 18 Oh, you said, bet. How much you want to bet?

Speaker 17 Hey, Ocho, let me ask you a question. What up? You keep on talking about Jake.
Did y'all have y'all backup defense into?

Speaker 18 No, that was our starting defense. What?

Speaker 17 They gave up 48.

Speaker 18 Hold on. Well, they were tired because they had to keep coming at, they had to keep coming on the goddamn field because we kept turning the goddamn ball over.

Speaker 17 Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Speaker 17 So they couldn't. So I guess Hendrickson couldn't even get no rest.

Speaker 18 We turned the ball over 37 times.

Speaker 17 What you think is going to happen?

Speaker 17 Hey,

Speaker 17 hey, Jordan, can you give me some visine? I need to get this care out my eye.

Speaker 17 Somebody don't put care in my eyes. So

Speaker 17 I don't know what you want me to do, OJo. I don't know how to impact the meat.

Speaker 18 I'm just saying, I'm not tripping. The Vikings played a hell of a game today.
The Vikings had a hell of a play.

Speaker 17 Guess who didn't play a hell of a game today? Yo, Bangles. Broncos.
The Bangles? Broncos.

Speaker 18 Because they got an L.

Speaker 17 We have, I guess what?

Speaker 18 Hey, whether they lost by 43, 48, or or 3, it's still going down as an L.

Speaker 18 No matter how you try to spice it and make it.

Speaker 17 You get back in the win column next week.

Speaker 18 You won't bet nothing.

Speaker 17 We get back in the win column next week. A little temporary setback.

Speaker 18 I'm stressed.

Speaker 17 Oh, Joe, the Cleveland Browns defeated the Green Bay Packers by the score of 13-10 on a 55-yard walk-off field goal through three quarters. Both teams averaged just three and a half yards per play.

Speaker 17 Things got wild in the fourth. The Browns eventually

Speaker 17 forced the first turnover of the season on a Grand Delpin interception. Shelby Harris, the former Bronco, blocked the field goal.
He's good for that.

Speaker 17 And the final 25 seconds, somehow, the Browns ended up scoring the game's final 13 points.

Speaker 17 Cleveland's offense was dreadful so far this season, and it remains painful to watch, averaging 3.9 yards per play, four of 13 on third down.

Speaker 17 Micah, after the Micah, after the game says, sometimes like today, you just poop the band that's just the reality of it Ocho it happens to the best teams even the even the Super Bowl champs make mistakes and they pay for it early you go back to the history of the champions of who played they played games like they they should have won it's just that competitive yeah

Speaker 17 yeah ocho

Speaker 18 hey it was it was a great game a great day of defense if you like football and you don't want you're not going to get fireworks you like defense to play,

Speaker 18 that's what you got today from both sides of the ball.

Speaker 18 It all comes down to the last.

Speaker 18 The team that made the fewest mistakes was winning this game. Yep.
The team that made the fewest mistakes was winning that game. Every time I'm on the show, I always praise Cleveland defense.

Speaker 17 Pretty good. They're legit.

Speaker 18 Yeah, if you watch the game today against the Green Bay Packers, now you see why I always praise the Cleveland defense.

Speaker 17 And, you know, everybody else will be like, oh, the Browns suck, blah, blah, blah.

Speaker 18 Yeah, they may be bad, but their identity is their defense, and they're very, very very good and the defense keep them in the game yeah absolutely absolutely so i mean it's a good game today a little sloppy defensive game and that turnover that turnover

Speaker 17 it

Speaker 17 all turnovers aren't created equal yeah time when you turn the ball over is more important

Speaker 17 that is the most important thing he throws that interception in the first quarter first half we probably third quarter we're not even having it not even having that discussion oh yo because green bay probably goes on and wins the game.

Speaker 17 But when he turned that football over,

Speaker 17 you're asking for it, and you leave a team that you probably should have put away earlier.

Speaker 17 You leave him around, you let him just hang around, Ocho, keep hanging around. Hey,

Speaker 17 dog, keep hanging around in the house. You feeding pretty soon.
Yeah, you know what? He's going to feel sorry for it sooner or later. He'll throw me a scrap or two out here.

Speaker 17 You know, he ain't going to just let me just keep coming in here and see me.

Speaker 17 Green Bay, y'all just let him hang around and hang around and say, you know what? He's going to mess right right and toss us one and the Rick.

Speaker 17 Hey, I'm sure the Decorate says hey, y'all keep doing what you're doing. Keep playing.
He'll give us one. He'll give us one.
And lo and behold, that's what happened. And you can't play with fire.

Speaker 17 Like I said, these teams, you better go ahead and put them away.

Speaker 17 Rams, you saw that firsthand. You better go ahead and put these teams away.

Speaker 17 Because if you don't, you're asking for trouble. And that's what happened today.

Speaker 17 Cleveland won a game. They probably should have lost.
But

Speaker 17 Micah's right.

Speaker 17 But you guys with that offense, y'all supposed to, they doubted.

Speaker 17 I know they turned it over, but they ain't supposed to get nothing.

Speaker 17 They ain't got nothing, Ocho. Not offensively.

Speaker 18 Oh, no, not offensively, no.

Speaker 17 No, they don't.

Speaker 18 They don't. They don't.
But that just, that's the, listen.

Speaker 18 The Green Bay Packers have a very explosive offense, huh?

Speaker 18 Aaron Jones is out, but obviously the receivers that they have, Jordan Love, phenomenal quarterback,

Speaker 18 not in the top five conversation, but he is in that tier of the better quarterbacks in the NFL with a group of great receivers.

Speaker 18 This is a testament to just how good Brother Newsom, Brother Denzel Ward, and everybody else, not only on the back end,

Speaker 18 but the front end as well.

Speaker 18 Led by Miles Garrett, man, them boys, them boys playing some ball, and that's the only reason they're going to be in games all season long.

Speaker 18 Just not the game today against the goddamn Green Bay Packers.

Speaker 18 They have a chance every single week, no matter who they're playing.

Speaker 17 Friend of the show, Rashawn Gary might be on his way to his first double-digit sack season. That's what he told us.
He wanted to get double-digit sacked.

Speaker 17 Yeah, he sacked Flacco twice on Sunday, bringing his three games total, three game total to four and a half.

Speaker 17 No doubt, the presence of Michael Parsons is absolutely helped because now they're sending the double to him and he's getting one-on-one and he's eating.

Speaker 17 Now, eventually, he'll get this eight, nine, nine, probably, and

Speaker 17 probably would like seven, eight games to go. And now they're going to start sliding protection to him and then Michael Parsons will start eating.
That's the way it works.

Speaker 17 You want two guys that can go pending pressure. Right now,

Speaker 17 right now, Mike, Rashawn Gary is eating. But Mike, hey, just just keep just keep plugging away.
Your time coming. Your time coming.
Van Ness,

Speaker 17 look, they got a good team. But it's games like this.
You're like, well, damn, what is it about Joe?

Speaker 17 Because because it's the turnovers ojo he always have that one yeah he always have that game that he has that one turnover that you like bro if you could just eliminate that you'll be fine yeah yeah they could really be on to something but

Speaker 17 i think we just you know

Speaker 17 uh

Speaker 17 give cleveland credit yeah that defense is gonna keep him in a lot of games Now, you can't keep turning the ball over like they did against Baltimore because Baltimore run away from you.

Speaker 17 But look, Baltimore's offense for me is

Speaker 17 a little bit more high-powered than Green Bay.

Speaker 17 Lamar is a different animal, even though

Speaker 17 Derrick Henry didn't run the football like he normally runs the football, but Lamar can throw it.

Speaker 17 And

Speaker 17 I was surprised, but you know,

Speaker 17 you can see the way this game was trending, Ocho. I said, you know what, Green Bay, y'all are going to mess right around and let Cleveland hang around and it will nip you at the wire.

Speaker 17 Watch what I tell you.

Speaker 17 And lo and behold,

Speaker 17 that's exactly what happened. But

Speaker 17 look,

Speaker 17 Minnesota kept pace. Minnesota is two and one.
Green Bay is two and one. We'll see what happens with

Speaker 17 Detroit because they play Baltimore, which is not going to be no easy victory.

Speaker 17 And just like that,

Speaker 17 Pittsburgh is in the AFC North. They're what? They're and one.

Speaker 17 Baltimore is trying to stay pace because

Speaker 17 they ain't even worried about Cincinnati. Cincinnati finna fall

Speaker 17 like loose from the heavens.

Speaker 17 Never to rise again.

Speaker 18 That's how you feel?

Speaker 17 Yep. I'm feeling like that, don't you? I'm sorry.
I wish you're something I can tell you.

Speaker 18 Hey, one thing about it.

Speaker 18 I've seen the team make a fool of us all because we count certain people out. Don't count your chickens before they hatch.
Now you keep talking about the Broncos and the Bengals.

Speaker 18 They look bad today because they, you know, we lost.

Speaker 17 Your team looked bad. Why are you worried about my team?

Speaker 18 I'm just because we play your team. So we got two teams that look bad.
We got to play each other Monday.

Speaker 17 10 points. Y'all scored 10 points.

Speaker 17 All right.

Speaker 18 We turned the ball over 10 times.

Speaker 17 Go turn it over some more, too.

Speaker 18 Now, we'll bet.

Speaker 18 Hey, tell Pat Sertain too. Make sure you bring an extra set of.

Speaker 17 Y'all already know what y'all already know with PS2. That man got DPS.

Speaker 18 Make sure you bring an extra set of cleats and robie roby last time you played never man don't worry about it i ain't gonna talk no trash you should

Speaker 17 i mean

Speaker 17 18 of 25 183 uh passing yards for uh jordan love

Speaker 17 um

Speaker 17 They had 31 rushes for 81 yards. I mean, Josh Jacobs had 16 carries for 30 yards, don't you? Yeah.

Speaker 17 Hey, listen,

Speaker 18 Derrick Henry wasn't able to really, really run well on that defense. Josh Jacobs wasn't going to run well on that defense.

Speaker 17 No.

Speaker 17 Nope.

Speaker 17 Joe Flacco was 21 to 36, 142. No touchdowns.
One interception was sacked twice. Quinshawn Jutkins had 94 yards.

Speaker 18 First touchdown of the day.

Speaker 17 Yep.

Speaker 17 On 18 carries.

Speaker 17 But they played well. They just, hey, they hung around and hung around and hung around and they got an an opportunity to nip them at the end.
I mean, you know, hey,

Speaker 17 give them credit. Give them credit.
You know, they lost the first game, got blown out the second game.

Speaker 17 But like I said, those fans, those fans are going to show up. And those fans are going to cheer them on.
Absolutely.

Speaker 17 Keep the energy in the building.

Speaker 17 But this was Green Bay. Y'all go, you know, you might look back.

Speaker 17 Because, oh, you're, when you don't make the playoff, there's always, you always go back and play like this game right here, we bulljobbed around, had this team dared to write, and we had an opportunity to put them away, and we didn't.

Speaker 17 And so that's the frustrating part because I'm sure Cincinnati did that last year, Ocho, because, you know, lost to Washington, lost to the Patriots. Patriots, yeah.

Speaker 17 Losing to Washington, come to find out wasn't a bad thing because they got all the way to the championship game. But losing to the Patriots, that was just downright awful.

Speaker 29 Yeah,

Speaker 18 that messed us up.

Speaker 17 That messed us up. And,

Speaker 17 you know, Green Bay, you might be in in a situation. The NFC is going to be very competitive.
You know, I think the Rams are going to be there when it's all said and done.

Speaker 17 The 49ers, you know, they got Robert Solid back on that defense. They're doing a great job.
You know, they get

Speaker 17 some of these guys are going to come back and get healthy. Yeah.
You know, I don't know. I don't know when Brandon IU is going to come back, but he's coming back.

Speaker 17 Kittle, he'll be back. Pierce all is playing really well.
He's doing an unbelievable job. And, you know, Kyle is going to be able to dial it up.

Speaker 17 And so obviously the Eagles are going to be right there when it's all said and done. We all believe Detroit's going to be there when it's all said and done.

Speaker 17 So the NFC, you're going to look back and like, damn,

Speaker 17 game here or there might cost you a chance of

Speaker 17 a home game. Because that's what it's, you know, in playoffs, you really want that home game.

Speaker 17 But I think you got to give a lot of credit to the Cleveland Browns because that defense was sensational today.

Speaker 17 They got after Jordan Love. They made him very uncomfortable from the very first snap.

Speaker 17 And so, you know, I don't want to beat the Packers up too bad.

Speaker 17 But,

Speaker 17 hey, Cleveland, that Miles Garrett, man.

Speaker 18 And it's so funny.

Speaker 18 No matter who they play, they do the same thing every time.

Speaker 18 We're going to rely on our front four to apply pressure, pin your ears back and get to the quarterback, and we playing man-to-man in your face on the outside.

Speaker 18 Because I believe in our two corners out there to be able to lock you up. And they play ball just like that.

Speaker 17 All two quarters long.

Speaker 17 They get after you. They get after you.
They get after you and give them credit. And

Speaker 17 they get in the win column

Speaker 17 thanks to a block kick and then a 55-yard walkoff. I say something.
55-yard walk-off. Like I said, Ocho, these guys got legs now.
It used to be, you know, a.

Speaker 17 Huh, the Chargers beat the Broncos 23-20 after the Broncos let Lee slip away again.

Speaker 18 Why are you talking so fast? Slow down.

Speaker 17 We got a lot of stuff talking about.

Speaker 18 People, let the people hear what you're talking about.

Speaker 17 Let the people hear.

Speaker 18 Who lost again?

Speaker 17 The Broncos lost

Speaker 17 23-20 after they let Lee slip away, just like they did against the Colts and the Chargers, and both teams walked it off. The Broncos have the next three games on the road.

Speaker 17 The Chargers now have three AFC West wins. Damn.
That is right. Because

Speaker 17 they've beaten

Speaker 17 the Raiders, they've beaten the Chiefs, and now they've beaten the Broncos.

Speaker 17 So, hey, you know, we got some work. We got some work to do.

Speaker 17 Who is we?

Speaker 17 Broncos.

Speaker 18 Oh, but you were just talking about the Ravens. So now you're talking about the Taiwanese.

Speaker 17 I got two teams. You got two teams, the Patriots and

Speaker 17 the Bengals.

Speaker 18 No, I don't.

Speaker 18 I got the Bengals and the Dolphins. And we ain't talking about the Dolphins right now.

Speaker 17 No, you ain't playing with the Dolphins. You played for the Patriots.

Speaker 17 This is the first time that they have a two-game lead atop the LC West at the end of 2009 when they went and 5.

Speaker 17 The season last time the Chargers won the division crown.

Speaker 18 Hey, what's your what's your y'all 0-3?

Speaker 17 Nah, we won the first game. We beat the Saints.
Oh, you count that? Yeah,

Speaker 17 it's the NFL team, ain't it?

Speaker 18 Oh, yeah. I mean, listen, well, y'all, y'all one and two.
Y'all one and two. So, you know, we two and one.

Speaker 17 We're about to be two and two.

Speaker 17 Same record as y'all.

Speaker 18 It sounds good.

Speaker 17 About to have the same record as y'all. two and two

Speaker 18 how both next how both next do today

Speaker 17 man

Speaker 18 oh i'm just asking i mean we had our backup quarterback so i'm just curious how your starter did

Speaker 17 well your starter don't never stay healthy so it's hard to say how he gonna do because you know like every year he he out he's gonna miss some time

Speaker 18 Who you talking about my quarterback?

Speaker 17 Yep, your starter.

Speaker 18 It was unfortunate on unfortunate circumstances. Stuff like that.

Speaker 17 Bo was 14 to 25, 153 yards, one touchdown.

Speaker 17 Damn, that's it. Courtland Sutton had six for 118.
Okay, Court.

Speaker 17 Herbert was 28 to 47.

Speaker 17 One touchdown, one interception. They sacked him five times.
I mean, the one thing the Broncos can do is get after the quarterback. Yeah.
I mean, he made a great throw.

Speaker 17 That throw that he made to Keenan Allen for that touchdown with Moss all over him. I mean, ain't nothing you can do about that.

Speaker 17 Derwin James had a sack. Troy Dye had a sack.

Speaker 17 They all had two sacks. But

Speaker 18 Derwin James, nice, boy.

Speaker 17 Yeah. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 18 Boy, he nice, boy.

Speaker 18 He play in the box, cover tight ends.

Speaker 18 He could play free.

Speaker 17 Man, he could do a little, man. You could do a little bit of everything, boy.

Speaker 17 That's all right. You're a little tough.
I mean, look, and

Speaker 17 the Broncos did some

Speaker 17 Hofanga has the guy, picks him up off his feet. You know, you can't pick the guy up and slam him.
Yeah. No, you can't do that.

Speaker 18 That's why y'all lost?

Speaker 17 No, I mean, we lost because

Speaker 17 we stopped them, got the ball back,

Speaker 17 and couldn't get a first down.

Speaker 17 Oh, y'all couldn't get a first down, huh? Couldn't get a first down. Kick the ball back.
They kick the ball, go down the field, and kick a walk off.

Speaker 17 So,

Speaker 17 no, I don't make no, no, that's what it is. I mean, you get a situation like that, Ocho.
Your defense stop them. Now, your job is to make sure their offense don't get back on the field.

Speaker 17 Your job is to make sure the offense don't get back on the field and you walk it off. Right.

Speaker 17 Or you go down there and score a touchdown and then make them go try to score a touchdown with as little time on the clock as possible to match you. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Speaker 17 This ain't no.

Speaker 18 Right. So, so basically, y'all got

Speaker 18 BTA.

Speaker 17 Nah, nah, nah. That's what y'all got.
No. That's what the Cowboys got.

Speaker 18 No, no. I mean, not really.
Not really. You have to understand our circumstances.
We're missing our starting quarterback. Y'all had your whole team healthy.
There's a difference.

Speaker 18 There's a difference.
