Speaker 3: That shit is sick, bro. I love that with paper falls when it falls like that, not in my hair.

00:09:56
Speaker 4: But but you didn't experience that though. Twenty twelve though, right the Super Bowl.

00:10:05
Speaker 2: It's good to see you guys getting getting comfortable with each other. Yeah, but you didn't lose that.

00:10:11
Speaker 3: I was experience it wasn't it was loving it after a loss. Yeah, wow that problem black was sick though, and then I wash it. I said out there, like damn.

00:10:34
Speaker 5: But the NFL had to end. Remember they cut the power off the store. You guys down, so really like you didn't lose.

00:10:41
Speaker 3: Ray Lewis.

00:10:42
Speaker 2: You know I was on the State Street in the Red House watching you all lose that game.

00:10:45
Speaker 4: The story did you block ray Lewis that game?

00:10:49
Speaker 3: Ray Lewis had one tackle.

00:10:56
Speaker 2: Ire like, come on, guys, you got it.

00:11:00
Speaker 3: I was on that field. Yeah, you saw me come.

00:11:06
Speaker 2: Back a couple type of dude. When the kickoff happened, cameras went off, He's.

00:11:11
Speaker 4: Like, hey delay, yeah you saw him a kickoff.

00:11:14
Speaker 2: They took it to the house.

00:11:15
Speaker 3: No, I wasn't even on my side though.

00:11:18
Speaker 2: I saw you in the chase.

00:11:21
Speaker 3: Course sends me the clip of me chasing the dude, I'm like, that ain't even he had a hand start. I couldn't came out here a lot.

00:11:31
Speaker 5: Of what what was the this is? This is getting back? And for what did the offense talk about? Because I feel like was it Kroger, Crok Kruegerruger Krueger, No, Uh.

00:11:44
Speaker 4: Paul Paul Krueger and uh sug.

00:11:48
Speaker 5: They did such a good job on defense where they did not play, you know, as they probably saw from that twenty twelve.

00:11:55
Speaker 4: They didn't got cooked by you guys. They didn't chase, but.

00:11:57
Speaker 5: They just ran straight after Cap, making him either handed off to Frank Gore or yeah, the mesh point exactly. So what was there any like, what was the talk on the sideline about it? Because if they set the tone because we played you guys, I don't know if you had Yeah, y'all played us the Union Tennessee the that in twenty thirteen we opened up against Cap in San Francisco. I don't know if I wasn't there, No, but we shut it down completely. He threw for like four hundred on us. That's a different story. But they set they they set that to where we haven't seen that since.

00:12:26
Speaker 3: Well that's what you know. Obviously, the Hardball brother, they I figured he knew exactly what was gonna what was about to happen in that game plan. So they we came out and was like, we're gonna still run when we do best, but they would just run straight up the field, saying, okay, as long as we can stop Cap and make Frank Gore beat us, that's what they was gonna do. So then Jim Harball said, well, they ain't stopped Frank Gore all day, so we're gonna just keep running it and give it to Frank. But then you'll see we start switching it up and doing double pulls offset, and we would still do the rid and captain take off, but we'll have a puller going that way and puller going this way. So if he gave it to Frank, you he had a lead blocker, and if Cap kept he had a lead blocker. And then by the second half, when we switched that up, it started working. Because at first I was trying to do what was doing to y'all, will just slice, yeah, do to thirty two reads then go past you know what I mean. It wasn't working though they both were just running up the field, straight up the field. So I mean, at the end of day, the game plan was there. They just they just had us. They had our number. To be honest with you, early in the game, catchy question.

00:13:30
Speaker 2: What There's obviously been a lot of news revolve around Taulin Kaepernick and he still see the NFL for Everson what was as a teammate.

00:13:38
Speaker 3: Cap Kap was a good teammate. So I'm gonna just be honest. Earlier in his career he was great, you know what I mean, like the dude, party with us, do everything with us. But once he became the starter, you know, I think sometimes when people become starter, especially at the quarterback position, he changed a little bit, which I get it. When you're a quarterback in this league, you want to be a g right, you want to be the guy everybody look up to do it becoming a star, to be coming to a star. So he he wasn't out like he was, you know what I mean, He didn't talk to a lot of people as like he used to because he was like more focused of being this guy. And that was the starting quarterback for the San Francisco forty nine ers, So obviously, yeah, he changed a little bit. It wasn't in a bad way. It was just he kind of became a star when he wasn't, you know, you know what I mean, Like when you're not a star, you kind of like you cool with everybody, you do everything. When you become that guy, it's almost like, hey, talk to my agent before you talk to me, you know what I mean? Almost like sometimes Yeah, so that's how Russell Wilson was.

00:14:43
Speaker 2: I heard that.

00:14:44
Speaker 3: Yeah, that wasn't me.

00:14:46
Speaker 2: You were like the guys who were dudes on the team. But oh yeah, but the guys that were trying to make it work.

00:14:51
Speaker 3: No, yeah, you're right.

00:14:52
Speaker 2: Yeah.

00:14:52
Speaker 3: I'm never gonna sit here and say that. I'm I was that dude like cats to be like, man, somebody told me a story. You was like some dude got hurt.

00:15:00
Speaker 5: Hurt.

00:15:00
Speaker 3: You came in there like, man, why the fuck you in here? Nobody care that you got hurt. I'm like, yeah, I did say that. Like he walking around looking at me in my face like I'm supposed to be like what you got hurt? No, motherfucker, I know you got hurt. Get the fuck out of my face. Am I wrong? I mean, you know, there's there's what I do to comp man when I came back, he ain't been working out.

00:15:20
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was, but I mean were obviously like boys.

00:15:23
Speaker 1: Yeah, we were like making it sound like this story you're disrespecting whoever's injured.

00:15:27
Speaker 6: You're just like, yo, get the fuck out my face. Oh no, I did not you like we. I was gonna say, weren't get that was a joke for you. Yeah, I mean you do say whatever you want to say. Yeah, I do you hearing it from that, I ain't gonna take it.

00:15:38
Speaker 3: Damn No. I would have never did. I would have never did that to you though. If you would have got hurt, I would have been like, dog, come back next year. Yeah. I like playing with you, but if I don't know you, I'm like, man, that's pockets, because get somebody else in you.

00:15:51
Speaker 2: Legit had to make plays to be this round.

00:15:53
Speaker 3: Yeah.

00:15:55
Speaker 4: Yeah, we're getting paid to make plays, right, you're right?

00:15:57
Speaker 2: Yeah?

00:15:57
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like, I ain't come here to be your friend, to be homie. We could do that somewhere else.

00:16:02
Speaker 2: They tried the big dog me and then we play the game outside and I most him, and then from that and we're cool.

00:16:06
Speaker 3: Because actually he wasn't even my guy. I was even covering him. He did a lot of you know you you lost me, but he wasn't my guy. I'm playing safety. Taylor gets open, he fast. I didn't think he was gonna be like as athletic as he was. He gets open, he hit him with the little cross. He acts like you know how to run and fade. He goes deep. I'm playing safety, so I see them like, okay, they're going to tell you I run over there. I'm thinking I'm about to get an interception because oh, give it to me, rookie. I liked him after that. I ain't after that. I was working with him.

00:16:47
Speaker 4: Respect Yeah.

00:16:48
Speaker 3: When he first came out, I'm like, you little you play left tackle first.

00:16:51
Speaker 2: He did say that, that's exactly You're the first round pick. We got bigger. You play bigger on.

00:16:56
Speaker 5: Film, Bro, There's nothing more deflating someone says you look bigger.

00:17:01
Speaker 2: Yeah, he got this big ass, muscular tied end telling me. I'm like, he's right like the blender in the kitchen, like yeah, let me get two of them.

00:17:12
Speaker 4: Yeah, Taylor.

00:17:13
Speaker 3: I found Taylor was not the fun.

00:17:15
Speaker 2: With prison rules with Delaney man basically punching the mouth.

00:17:19
Speaker 5: Respect you fighting every week okay, a dog, but he was always picking on the corners and stuff.

00:17:25
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying.

00:17:26
Speaker 3: No, this is like real life ship, not in football. I didn't know. I didn't know.

00:17:38
Speaker 2: I didn't know.

00:17:42
Speaker 5: I'm just saying I saw you pick on Richard Shrump. I thought bad for him. He was just he had a big defeat over there, shooting a little boat.

00:17:48
Speaker 3: Norman.

00:17:49
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I notice, just why corrected it.

00:17:53
Speaker 4: And then it was somebody on the sideline you went after.

00:17:56
Speaker 2: That was Josh Norman again.

00:17:57
Speaker 4: And then then the Packers. You went after somebody that was.

00:17:59
Speaker 2: A defensive It was a nose tackles who jumped snap and hit Marcus.

00:18:03
Speaker 3: Yeah, he was three hundred.

00:18:04
Speaker 2: He was bigger than me.

00:18:05
Speaker 4: Gucci was nickname.

00:18:06
Speaker 2: Yeah. Now we had to out of the game.

00:18:09
Speaker 3: We had to tell Taylor to calm the fuck down. That's why later on when fights was happening, he'd be sitting on the on the field, legs crossed, sitting there. I'm like, I'm looking for them. I'm waiting for seventy seventy coming.

00:18:24
Speaker 2: Because the Richard Sherman thing happened, that Josh Norman thing happened, and the GM is like, hey, you gotta stop it, you know that. What's the Packers thing happened? I kicked out of the game because I kicked out like second series. The gym was like, if you do this again, like we're going to find you, like you're gonna get Master finds. And so it wasn't the Seattle game, no, because the Bronco game is when I went to the forty r Linesss when Harry Douglas cut Chris Chris Harris, Chris Harris, and then I keeps leaving him got to fight, and I just went and sat down. It's a little photo shoo.

00:18:56
Speaker 5: Get the games, getting the game talk some ball talk, some ball talking ball all right, all right, I.

00:19:02
Speaker 2: See a first game finally, Michelot Bultro, this whole little yeah, Superior is worth playing for Superior, Michaelo Bultru, Superior light Beer. Let me tell you guys a story real quick.

I'm now four and five these for the second time in three weeks. The New York Giants are now at the Philadelphia Eagles. Phil Off is coming off a big win versus the Vikings. Jalen hurts three hundred and something yards through the air. Uh. Eagles are favored at seven points my seven, and the told in that game is forty three and a half points. Who would like to kick this one off the laney?

00:20:07
Speaker 3: Let's go? Okay, since I'm gonna start watch.

00:20:10
Speaker 2: You know what, You're gonna kick off every game for us this week?

00:20:14
Speaker 3: No, man, that's crazy. Yeah, I want you all to I want you all to fade me.

00:20:18
Speaker 4: So open that notebook.

00:20:21
Speaker 3: Yeah, look, spill, I got I gotta steal man.

00:20:26
Speaker 2: Eagles are forty two and forty one in the last thirty years.

00:20:31
Speaker 3: So look those stats. I'm talking to you guys out there who like to ride with the mule. When you look at those stats, anything, when you look up, when you look up things about these players these games. It doesn't mean anything. You can ask chat GBT who you think gonna win. You can use that. It doesn't mean anything because right now we in the middle of the season. It's up to these guys to knuckle up, buckle up, and shut the fuck up and play some football. And who we think gonna do that? I think the Giants gonna do with Jackson dark film, boys is on fire. You got scattered Boo the head honcho, knocking people out, talking ship, doing backflips. We know what time it is. Let's go Giants. I'm taking them plus seven.

00:21:13
Speaker 4: Let's do a great way to start.

00:21:15
Speaker 2: That's I'm following you too. I'm with the Giants in this game. I like against the Eagles, unlocked their passing abilities and it's like, yeah, Jail hurts it a much better job. When he got pressured in the pocket and he rolled out, he didn't look to run right away. He kept his eyes down field. And DeVante Smith and A. J. Brown are there along with daughter, but Sakuon Barkley is still rushing. At three point one. You put the film on and they are now trying to be more creative in the run game. However, when it's between the tackles, there's a guy missing here, it's a guy missing there in the middle of those three. And then when they go to the perimeter with these pin pull and when they try to get the tackle on the perimeter, it's the tight end who's getting pushed back. So it's always one guy here or there. I think it's a great game that Jalen Hurts had to kind of sound with the critics. However, when it comes to the Giants, you watch a game against the Broncos. They run the ball efficiently, they get themselves into third and manageable. Jackson Dart is athic enough to add limp and get his receivers down the field and make plays that way. Seventy five percent of that game, like they had that they in control, fell off the wheels in a big way. A lot of credit to Bo Nix and Sean Payton the mental fortitude they have. But I see this game being tighter than seven points. I'm taking the Giants.

00:22:26
Speaker 3: Yeah, great, I mean they should have won that game. I mean that thirty three points in the fourth quarter was insane.

00:22:32
Speaker 2: Sane, bro.

00:22:33
Speaker 5: But I tell you what, even though the Giants gave up thirty three points, Like I feel more confident in the future of the Giants with Jackson Dart at quarterback, Like obviously he you know, his completion percentage was under fifty percent, but he threw close to three hundred yards three touchdowns, had that bad interception at the end, but he had the moxie, the resilience, the confidence to come back on that last drive for that go ahead score, which we thought was going to be the victory. As you said, with Scataboo, kind of setting the tone for that entire team. I think there's enough film on them now within these last two weeks for the Eagles to to fix what they did wrong, which I don't even think there was a lot wrong other than you know what we've talked about. But you look at the Eagles and obviously, like you had said, like Jalen Hurts looks good.

00:23:15
Speaker 4: He posts a perfect passer rating this week.

00:23:19
Speaker 5: Aj Brown Deavonte Smith are both feeling great about their yards?

00:23:23
Speaker 4: Are they well?

00:23:25
Speaker 5: Like I said, Okay, the casual fan is feeling good about it. Yeah, okay, but.

00:23:29
Speaker 2: The broken plays.

00:23:33
Speaker 5: It is but they rely too much on the home run. But I but I think on the flip side, of that is they continue to find a way to win. They have one of the best rosters in the NFL. I think we give them time. I think this is a tough match for New York to do this again. So I like the Eagles here and that's why I'm taking them.

00:23:54
Speaker 2: So you're taking the Eagles to win by more than a touchdown.

00:23:59
Speaker 5: Points so that this money line give me you go Giants plus Yes, I'm sorry, yes, give me Giants plus seven.

00:24:06
Speaker 2: All the things you said were great, We're great. However, the line is too big.

00:24:11
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it's a divisional game. It's going to be.

00:24:14
Speaker 5: I mean, the Eagles have played close to to all of their opponents. I think it'll be a close win for the Eagles.

00:24:20
Speaker 3: I mean the Giants got a good defense too, obviously, they especially against the struggling inconsistent.

00:24:28
Speaker 2: Yeah, they've been better in the in the past. Blocking game though, I'll give them the interior three. But like you just see some of these things, like you put them in a position where there's a shade and and and then you have like the will linebacker outside where they're fanning. They're leaving that U my alotta or lane is leaving their guard cradb on an island where that and you can kind of shoot up the gap and then just pigeonholes. The entire play like there's little things that are taking place where guys are. It seems like guys are kind of looking out for themselves as opposed to looking out for their buddy and being successful together.

00:25:01
Speaker 1: Man, yesterday I took a screenshot of this one because I feel like it's a no brainer. Giants, I like the Eagles. I like the Eagles to cover. I like the Eagles to cover. I think there's gonna be like as excited as we are watching the Giants and watching Jackson Dart obviously Camp Scataboo, but Jackson Dart being a rookie quarterback, I think there's still gonna be some inconsistencies there. I think they'll kind of show up, not like this week just because it's an Indivision rivalry game. They lost on Thursday Night Football. Now they play. The game is at Philadelphia, Yes, so they're gonna be at home. They have some extra rest, they have their obviously they're Salavan. We got to have Zach bonn On busting with the boys, and we got to bring up to camp Scataboo kind of giving them the truck, like being a physical tackle. I think they'll be locked in. I'm just gonna I'm gonna believe in the Eagles this week. I'm gonna believe in the Eagles. I feel like they'll get some things going offensively that will still be a blemish on the overall picture to what we kind of know that it's there.

00:26:00
Speaker 2: With Philadelphia. I think Sae Kwon Barkley will have a better game. And I just like.

00:26:04
Speaker 1: Philadelphia getting their look back against I like Philly getting their link back this week against the Giants at home.

00:26:10
Speaker 2: Can I say one more thing? Because I kind of see what you're doing, and as you see three Giants and you're like, I don't want to be on the same page. This is like your Georgia pick old Miss taking Georgia over old Miss when you me and Pate, is that kind of what's swaying you a little bit? Just everybody on the Giants. Everybody on the Giants, You're like, I need to take the Eagles in the situation.

00:26:29
Speaker 1: No, I think they're getting twice in three weeks, and I think they looked embarrassing on Thursday Night Football and they got a tough win against the Vikings.

00:26:38
Speaker 2: I think the Vikings should have won that game.

00:26:40
Speaker 1: Uh, the Eagles kind of getting spotted a little bit and the early part of the game toward Jalen Hurts is able to have that success and again aj Brown and Devonte Smith, a lot of those yards and plays that they are making is coming off of broken plays, which is, you know, it's kind of covering up what the issue still is.

00:26:56
Speaker 2: For me.

00:26:56
Speaker 1: It's just like again, just they're facing the Giants twice and three weeks, so I really think they're gonna drop and not take care of business at home. I want to believe the hype. I'm excited about the Giants, but again, there's gonna be some inconsistencies that still show up with Jackson Dart. I just think it happens against this defense because the defense is healthier now than what they were a couple.

00:27:15
Speaker 3: Of weeks ago.

00:27:16
Speaker 2: I think the storyline of the Vikings and the Eagles is Carson Wentz pressing more to beat a team that's hurt him so much more than the Eagles playing well to beat the Vikings three drives their first three drives, they're in the low red snap goes over Carson Wentz' his head. They end up making a field goal, a longer field goal, which is a huge state for them. The next drive they have a pick six. The following drive, he gets flushed out to his right throws another pick with the Eagles don't capitalize on but they spot them six. And for that reason, I think the Giants have the moxie and the energy.

00:27:45
Speaker 5: Yeah, they looked good through the first three quarters. They looked real good against a very good Broncos defense. So I think we were getting fixed too much on that fourth quarter. Which, listen, stuff happens in the NFL. So I mean, I know you can't just look past it, but I mean the Giants. Giants look good right now.

00:28:01
Speaker 2: What's up with the Bills were coming off of bye week too. They're at the Panthers. Panthers or Bills are favored minus seven and a half. Uh, Bryce Young's out and a don't stepping in total points in that game is forty six and a half.

00:28:17
Speaker 3: The Panthers on a three game winning streak right now.

00:28:24
Speaker 5: No, Bryce Young and Andy rot some juice for him last year.

00:28:30
Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying, Andy Dot, I think I'm gonna just be different. And what are they four to o at home?

00:28:38
Speaker 2: He's three or four.

00:28:40
Speaker 4: I don't think they've lost at home?

00:28:41
Speaker 2: So they yeah, they have not. They're undefeated three four.

00:28:43
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, yeah, fuck oh god. Because I really when I said, and I thought about it, and I looked at my notes, I was like, Bills, this is a day off, bye week. They fresh, they getting some guys back this week. But I'm like the Panthers, right, and I just talked about teams having that momentum going out there with that fight.

00:29:11
Speaker 5: Let me give you a little nugget, all right, Just let me just step in here, all right. Josh Allen has never lost after a bye and he has never lost. Give me the Panthers three consecutive games.

00:29:29
Speaker 3: Give me the Panthers.

00:29:31
Speaker 4: Now.

00:29:32
Speaker 5: The Panthers are playing as well as they have in four to five years. They got a tough, physical O line, D line, what's his name, Derrick Brown's playing as well as anybody on the DR lineh Chuba Hubbards coming back.

00:29:43
Speaker 4: But what is it?

00:29:44
Speaker 5: I don't want to Rico Dalo has just exploded on the scene. So I think, you know, coming off of bye week, the Bills that is they need to let Josh Allen just just fling that thing, have fun. Don't let the Panthers run the ball. I got the I got the Bills covering this easily without Bright Young two.

00:30:01
Speaker 3: I'm taking the Panthers. That just that's that right there.

00:30:04
Speaker 2: That's exactly the thing you need to hear for you.

00:30:07
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, this is you needed something.

00:30:09
Speaker 1: This is Bills minus seven and a half again, three consecutive losses. When if they've done that with Josh Allen never never win? Is Josh Allen lost after a bye week?

00:30:16
Speaker 4: Never?

00:30:17
Speaker 1: And the way their performances on these last two losses have been very questionable to where they're starting to fall out of conversations where this will be a big test spot, a big get right spot, like get her mojo back. I think they're gonna be hungry. The defense has been not playing very well whatsoever. I do think they match up better against the Panthers because they come downhill, they come more at you instead of sideways like they struggled against the Atlanta Falcons a couple of weeks ago. Love this get back spot for the Bills. I got Bills mind seven and a half.

00:30:44
Speaker 2: I agree, I agree with what the two of you just said. However, I don't think this is so much of like, let Josh Allen go out there and be the hero. James Cook. It's James Cook. It's run the football. Will and I had this conversation after the Atlanta Falcons game and Will point it out to me, So I have to give credit there is they Joe Brady in the second half of the game against the Atlanta Falcons, they kind of got away from the run and said, Josh, go make us right all the time. They had a couple of injuries here and there, they have had the bye week, all the stats you said about never losing three in a row to buy all that plays really well. I think this is a dominant game for James Cook, and I think Josh Allen gets back in the MVP form as well, which gives you the reason why seven and a half looks really good.

00:31:21
Speaker 1: Against the Falcons, who it was like fifteen carries for like eighty five yards, like they were running the ball. Well whatever reason, they're just bro. You got James Cook right, Well, they're moving the ball. They can run the ball really well.

00:31:32
Speaker 2: Just the ball that is. We got Josh Allen and It's like, yeah, I understand all that, but like make it easy.

00:31:39
Speaker 3: Yeah, a talent they pay. They played to the opponent's talent. So that's what I'm I'm I'm banking known that they play as bad as the Panthers and the Panthers walk away.

00:31:49
Speaker 2: You just said the Panthers have won three in a row, there four at home.

00:31:53
Speaker 3: I said, they're playing They're playing good, but they're still not years. They're still not a top tier team like the Bill. So I'm a hope and the Bills going and play to the Panthers level like they have done in the last few games that they lost.

00:32:05
Speaker 1: The only issue with that is, like, I would love this pick if Bills had won the last two games, but this is no. This is no like you know secret that they're coming up on like they the Bills have to get.

00:32:17
Speaker 2: We know that after the Bill don't win this game, the noise will be very loud in that building.

00:32:21
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, very loud. Does it make y' all nervous at all? That Rico is like, can actually really run the ball and Bejon Tour.

00:32:29
Speaker 4: The Bills run defense upon a.

00:32:31
Speaker 2: Part, not so much because they run a completely different offense like that side to side zone read like they are sorry outside zone run game versus that defense, it's a very difficult thing to stop.

00:32:46
Speaker 3: But Taylor, you know, if they something worked in the game the week prior, were putting that into our game plan too. We're gonna run that zone. We're gonna try to run that zone read and see if it's there for us too. You try to exploit what you see on film, right, and if that was a problem, most teams kind of incorporate that in today offense.

00:33:04
Speaker 2: I'll argue that point with the story. And it's twenty eighteen. Mike Rable comes to the Tennessee Titans. We go from like an inside zone gap scheme team to an outside running zone team that the Atlanta Falcons run the OTAs. The first three four weeks of OTAs. I'm in a fucking blender because the offense is so different now from a run game. It's no longer feet base that kind of duck movement. It's now running off the ball. You're running out of point your hands, and if it's spot that's not something you can implement in a week. That's something you get to implement in an off season and hopefully catches fire. With confidence of seeing it working over and over again. That's not something you can just take it off the line like this is where it's that's a very it's a very successful offense, but you need an offensive line that knows how to run that scheme in order for it to be successful.

00:33:48
Speaker 3: Somewhere where there is a lot of noise. Baltimore Ravens. Wait, did you make your pick? Did you? Yeah, he's going Bills.

00:33:55
Speaker 2: When you were sitting there kind of just drooling, he had to come. He had to put it in. No bug, He said, let me help you out here.

00:34:02
Speaker 1: Give you all the reasons why this is Bills and you're like Panthers. We got the we got Chicago going out to Baltimore, Ravens favored by six and a half.

00:34:12
Speaker 2: Here, crazy line. I feel like over under on this game is fifty and a half. Delaney is Lamar back.

00:34:19
Speaker 3: I couldn't find that information.

00:34:21
Speaker 2: I think he's back expected.

00:34:24
Speaker 1: I don't think he's Yeah. We'll know today because we're shooting this on Wednesday. This is the day. Because he wasn't out there on Monday.

00:34:31
Speaker 3: On Monday, yeah, that's why I was trying to fight figure out. Yeah, man, you know what I'm just gonna be this dog today and I mean it, fucking dog all right, Bears, motherfuckers, Bears, Bears, you're back. I'm back on Caleb. Look, I'm back on Caleb. Man. I was in La. You know, the vibe in La is really kleb. You know, I don't know why. Everybody painting their nails, everybody wearing baggy clothes and the craziness. Right, but made me get back on my dog. I saw a video of him jump out the van. I don't want to say what I saw, but I saw what I saw. My dog is back on top. Let's get it, Bears. This week they're gonna beat the Ravens six and a half. Baby, So you're taking Bears money once. No, I'm not. I'm taking six and a half just in case they don't win. It's gonna be closed, right Yeah dog, No, that's the dog, because I'm taking the dog good. I'm taking the under dog to cover to cover.

00:35:35
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, yeah, Okay, Dylanna, you might be onto something because after that bye week, the Bears look like they have a new identity. It looks like DeAndre Swift has run for over one hundred yards the past two weeks, which is what we saw in Ben Johnson's offense in Detroit, where they have a strong run game that allows Caleb or Golf at the time to run that play action, allow those routes to get open. And we're seeing Caleb become more comfortable and he doesn't have to do as much. He doesn't have to win the games like he had to do, perhaps as we saw earlier this season and his rookie season even as time as Sea, which was fun to watch, but just just run the offense. Their defense has been very opportunistic and within the over the last four games, which they've been four to oh fifteen takeaways to lead the league. And I think they got like the last ranked run defense. And that's why I like the Ravens. I like Lamar coming back. I like Derek Henry having a big game, feeding Derek Henry early and often getting them over one hundred plus yards. Lamar, keep them healthy in the pocket, don't open up too much, make a few plays here and there.

00:36:39
Speaker 4: But I said the Ravens are gonna be one and five.

00:36:43
Speaker 5: This is now the start of this five to six wins in a row where they go to the top of the AFC North and they fulfill my prediction taking it all the way.

00:36:54
Speaker 4: Fel I like, what's what's what's the line here?

00:36:59
Speaker 3: I like and a half?

00:37:00
Speaker 4: Yeah, give me it all.

00:37:03
Speaker 2: Okay, So you like the Ravens winning, yes by seven or more point?

00:37:06
Speaker 3: Yes? Well, right now with that thing.

00:37:09
Speaker 5: With Lamar, with Derek with a bye week going, hey, it's it's do or die.

00:37:14
Speaker 3: The last look the last week, the last game they played, Derek only had five rushes.

00:37:18
Speaker 5: But they're not I don't even know who he played the last time. I forgot all that because Lamar wasn't there. We flushed that bye week. Reassess one in five. It's time to go. It's time to run the table.

00:37:28
Speaker 3: I hear you.

00:37:29
Speaker 1: I do think if you're the Ravens, you're sitting there. It's like Bengals take down the Steelers. Browns are gonna be the Browns. But it's like if the Ravens are gonna this is they have to go on an insane run, righty have.

00:37:39
Speaker 2: I think they win the game.

00:37:41
Speaker 1: I think the Bears cover Bears running the football well, like, no matter what, if you have Lamar, all these guys healthy, even when they were healthy, defenses played very questionable. They were, you know, bottom five and basically every category. I know that they had a lot of injuries, but I like the Bears. I like them. I like them just having that you're talking about the run game and the success that they've had running the football recently. I remember when I was watching the Washington game and Washington was just getting They're just getting undressed in the run game. How it opens everything up for Caleb and everything else. I do think Caleb still misses some throws, but I just think based on the play action game that Ben Johnson's able to dial up, and the defense playing as opportunistic that they have been. They know they need to obviously get better with run defense, but you know those conversations too in the locker room defensively, like when you're having fifteen takeaways in four games, everybody's in here, Hey, who's gonna get the next one? Guy's putting no money on the next one. Who's gonna get X, Y and Z fumble, interception, whatever it is. I think they're having fun right now. I do think the Ravens win this game close, and it'll be within six and a half. So I'm gonna take the Bears plus six and a half.

00:38:44
Speaker 2: Yeah, what travels is a defense in a run game, and that's exactly what the Bears have. There's been less pressure put on Caleb Williams, like we're doesn't have to be the guy over again. They I think, have scored forty points in the first quarter this year. All of last year they scored twenty nine points. Like they're having success early, which is special. And I think although the Ravens and the bye week they sit there, it's like do or die time.

00:39:05
Speaker 3: Now.

00:39:06
Speaker 2: It's one of those things where if it starts to go sideways for you, you know that familiar feeling does doubt creep in. And I know Lamar is probably coming back. I'm not very I don't know who's coming up from a defensive side of the ball, but they're gonna run the ball very well against this defense, regardless of who's playing in the game. And I think that's gonna set them up that Derek Henry having five carries, like they feel it was it Hillmant.

00:39:26
Speaker 3: Who's the backup Hill Justice.

00:39:31
Speaker 2: Hill, Like he's been the one that's been taking over most of the carries. And I don't know if it's because the coaches don't trust Derek because of the three fumbles in their first three games of the season. But they having a bit of identity crisis when it comes to running the football, and I think that is so important when you're in these types of games, especially when it comes to lines this big. So I'm taking the Bears.

00:39:49
Speaker 5: I could be wrong, but I swear Derek Henry ran for over like one hundred with the game they played. I forget who they played before the bye week. He ran incredibly well. He had like he had over a his last game. You did have over one hundred, okay, and in the first game of the season he had one like sixty eight right everything in between that, I don't think it got above sixty twenty three.

00:40:12
Speaker 3: Say that game, Heymer. Games when they're losing, Derek doesn't get in the game. When they're losing, Derek does not get in the game. They do not want Derek get in the game because they want to be able to throw the swing pass, throw the quick checkdowns. They don't trust Derek.

00:40:28
Speaker 4: All well, let's see what Let's see how it plays out this weekend.

00:40:30
Speaker 3: Yeah, we definitely will do that.

00:40:32
Speaker 4: We will.

00:40:35

00:41:06
Speaker 1: Sunday Night football, Green Bay traveling out to Pittsburgh lining on this game Packers minus three and a half over under on this game forty four and a half. This got Packers. It's got Packers all over minus three and a half.

00:41:21
Speaker 3: Let's hear why, let's hear it.

00:41:23
Speaker 1: I just think the Steelers defense is there's two inconsistent bro Like this is not like this isn't fraud alert. This is you are now in the fraudulent category. Joe Flacco having that much success against that defense, the bank like just the Bengals, like, yeah, they can make some noise.

00:41:38
Speaker 2: They got things to be excited about. But the way Pittsburgh.

00:41:41
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers out there slinging the wrong round, bro, and this is they're playing against a much better defense with Green Bay. So I like Green Bay here because they're gonna be able to run the ball, They're gonna be able to throw, They're gonna be able to do whatever they need to, whatever they want to to win this game.

00:41:57
Speaker 2: Only a suspect part.

00:41:58
Speaker 1: It's in Pittsburgh, it's after a very tough, kind of embarrassing loss.

00:42:02
Speaker 2: Bennie Bye do.

00:42:03
Speaker 1: What yeah, MANI buy they kind of have a mini by to get right. But I like the Packers here. Love the Packers.

00:42:09
Speaker 2: Yeah, this one smells like uh Packers Cowboys where they just lost to the Browns and we're like, okay, this has got Packers written all over it. They're going to run the ball. That defense with the Cowboys is terrible, and they're just they're gonna run away with this game. Michael Parsons is gonna go off like, yeah, Aaron Rodgers is doing really well. But out of twelve and thirteen personnel, there's they're running outside zone and perimeter plays better than anybody in the entire NFL, and what Aaron Rodgers loves to do is get under center and use play action. If his run game is doing well, Warren is doing a fantastic job out of the backfield. I see them being able to keep up and have to get into that. Also, Jordan Love, when he is under pressure, he's a completely different quarterback under pressure versus when he has a clean pocket. You've paid so much money for your defense. You put the film on and you see the miscommunications in the back end that is like, where is the leadership from Patrick Queen who's wearing the green dot? From Jalen Ramsey, Like where is the leadership to we're at guys. I can see on film Patrick Queen is sitting there doing some sort of sign language thing and there's no call recall, Like that has to get fixed. But I know that Tom's looking at the same film I'm looking at and be like, if we put pressure on Jordan Love, he will give up that ball. He will throw at a much less percentage, right, I think he's pressured. It's like less than forty percent. Bring an extra guy, play a little bit more man where everybody have to rely on each other, And I think Aaron Rodgers keeps this game within a score.

00:43:33
Speaker 3: I like that because I was thinking this was gonna be a field goal game at the end of the day, and like you said, our DB's the Steelers dbs can they cover? Were still trying to figure that out.

00:43:46
Speaker 2: This is a fun hopeful stat too. If Aaron Rodgers can beat the Packers, he's one of five quarterbacks all time that'll beat all thirty two teams. Really yeh, shout Ryan Nolan for that.

00:43:55
Speaker 3: He definitely going with the Steelers on that stat right there, going with the Steelers.

00:43:59
Speaker 2: That's a hope stat. That's not a stat you can lay your hat. I'm not they're gonna win. It's a hope stat.

00:44:05
Speaker 3: I just like that stat. I like that because I think Aaron Rodgers is the type of guy who thinks about stats like that. So I like that because he's gonna go out there and try to get that dub. Just because of that stat. To say he's one of the quarterbacks to do it to win against every thirty two teams, I thought.

00:44:19
Speaker 5: I think he wants that dove or something bigger than a stat that too. I think, first off, let me take you back to two thousand and nine. Okay, my rookie season. The Aaron Rodgers led This is Week four, Monday Night football. The Aaron Rodgers led Green Bay Packers go into Minneapolis, the Metrodome, Minnesota to face the Brett Farv led Vikings bro The atmosphere was electric.

00:44:47
Speaker 4: I was out there that night.

00:44:49
Speaker 5: Brett far through for two touchdowns two point fifty, did just enough to edge a Rod and establish himself and beat his former team, who I'm sure he felt had done him wrong.

00:45:00
Speaker 4: I see this game going exactly the same.

00:45:02
Speaker 5: I see a Rod throwing for three four touchdowns, probably in that two point fifty. You know, maybe not give he had two interceptions last game, but nothing like that. I just think, as you discuss, I think what's going to determine this game is the Steelers defense. Are they going to be the defense that we saw this last Thursday where they have zero turnovers.

00:45:22
Speaker 2: The majority of the game or the majority of the.

00:45:24
Speaker 5: Season they have outside of what two games Week one, Week two and this past You're right, who are they juckling high? They have the last four years they've been the highest paid defense and have not finished as a top ten defense. But I see this being a special game for Aaron being a special game, and I think that's going to permeate throughout the organization, throughout that defense that maybe TJ. Watt or whomever else Jalen gets a pick, forces those one or two turnovers that a Rod turns into a score. I think this is gonna be a close affair.

00:45:55
Speaker 4: Listen.

00:45:56
Speaker 5: I'm all in on the Packers, but without Aaron in my time, I'm in Green Bay. I mean, he won us that Super Bowl, he allowed us to have all that success. I hope he goes out and gets this win. So for that, I'm taking the Steelers money line.

00:46:15
Speaker 2: Food. He not a Packer.

00:46:20
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm just saying, listen, you you know, you know what it's like to feel like you were done done wrong. He's four time MVP. Obviously he'll retire, he'll be mister Green Bay and everything. But there's there's gonna be a little extra to you. How that manifests itself on gaming, I don't know, but listen, I was a part of those games when Brett Favre came back, and it's fun, it's electric, and there's something to be said about going up against your team that you gave everything to you who said, hey, we're gonna kick you to the curb. And it didn't go down like that. Maybe he did, you know, but we're gonna move on. So whether it was for right or wrong, you feel a certain type of way, and he's gonna want to get his revenge, so to speak.

00:46:59
Speaker 3: He'll get back different. So I like it.

00:47:01
Speaker 4: I like it. Down your Packers, man, I'm just saying I'm all in on the pack. Give me, give me.

00:47:06
Speaker 2: You're not. You're all in on the pack. But you out here saying you could just pick this game.

00:47:11
Speaker 1: You know, Packers might get this game field goal, Steelers plus there and a half.

00:47:14
Speaker 3: You're like this Steelers money line.

00:47:16
Speaker 4: Yeah, when we come back in next week.

00:47:19
Speaker 5: To dude, I'm gonna wear my my A Rod Steelers jersey in as well.

00:47:25
Speaker 4: I'll have one.

00:47:27
Speaker 2: It's ordered.

00:47:28
Speaker 4: I'll have them when you win.

00:47:29
Speaker 2: At your USC Bomber jacket. It's one once a year.

00:47:31
Speaker 4: It's back on the rack, you know, my bell.

00:47:34
Speaker 2: It'll be there until next year when you feel good.

00:47:37
Speaker 4: Until next week when we play Nebraska. Two weeks.

00:47:41
Speaker 3: It's two weeks.

00:47:42
Speaker 2: I think gotta get big betting that one.

00:47:44
Speaker 3: We gotta buy this weekend.

00:47:45
Speaker 5: Yeah, so extra time next weekend extra wins.

00:47:49
Speaker 2: Lick the wounds because he got punished in.

00:47:51
Speaker 4: South then I wouldn't.

00:47:54
Speaker 5: We kept it close rushing yard that was that was just cold ring Michigan do that against us though we didn't know who we were at that time.

00:48:04
Speaker 4: Okay, no, you're right, you said we played again.

00:48:07
Speaker 2: Right now, it's a ten point win for Michigan.

00:48:09
Speaker 4: Maybe we'll see you in the Big Ten.

00:48:11
Speaker 2: Have you seen some of the stills from the game Michigan in USC there's time that Michigan had eight guys nine guys on the football field on defense. Dudes are playing twelve yards off the ball while blitzing on third and one. Plan we needed to win. You go in to Washington, who might have the best trio quarterback, running back, and wide receiver and all of the Big Ten, they got seven points line. It's crazy, So let's move on.

00:48:35
Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, you're right.

00:48:36
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna get mad.

00:48:37
Speaker 4: Save it for the college, right, I just did the college game?

00:48:42
Speaker 2: Yeah, mad, Delanny talks me about the Commanders at Chiefs. Chiefs biggest line of the week. This is crazy minus ten and a half versus the Commanders just moved to eleven and a half as a one minute ago, Rus Marrier taking over Marcus Merit to winning the game against the Cowboys through a pick six, and that game they were already down by nineteen points at that time. Cowboys are looking like they might be real. They're missing one or two pieces on defense. But that's not the game we're talking about. We're talking about commanders at Chiefs and the Chiefs and a half minus eleven and a half told, the game is forty seven and a half points. Who do you have?

00:49:23
Speaker 3: And the Chiefs look good right now. They get ray Rice. They say, look, we don't care that Rice Rashi Rice, I said Ray Rice, I'll damn that. They both on the same damn criminal list. But yeah, they get him back. They like, we don't care. He done ran people off the road. We're going to give him the ball. We're going to make sure he gets an end. Zon he does twice. You get all those guys back, you got Kelsey still making plays, you got the magic Mahomes back there. That just we can't count him out. But then you got these commanders with one of my favorite guys in the world, Marcus Mariota.

00:49:59
Speaker 1: But the points, God take, Chiefs take. Chiefs Bro, Monday night football at Arrowhead.

00:50:10
Speaker 3: But Marcus is Monday night football.

00:50:13
Speaker 4: Bro, you got to put your personal bias aside.

00:50:16
Speaker 3: All right.

00:50:17
Speaker 2: I agree with what are you saying. Marcus is incredibly he should be a started quarterback in the NFL. That being said, if the Super Bowl took place today and the Chiefs were playing name Ano their team, I'm taking the Chiefs.

00:50:27
Speaker 3: I'm taking the Chiefs.

00:50:28
Speaker 2: They look like the best team in the NFL. Yeah, they played the Raiders last week. Who the Raiders on defense, offense, and special teams. They're not a team at all. Their defense did exactly what they should do and allow the Raiders to zero points. Their defense is back on track. The Jacks game, we felt a little wishy washy. They're now full power on the opposive side the ball, your Brober, she rights your Bob, Travis Kelsey, Xavier Worthy, Pacheco's running like he's pissed off at the ground again. Patrick Mahomes. Unscheduled plays, plays that are over passing your passing, plays that are over four and a half seconds, He's doing for five hundred and thirty six yards.

00:51:02
Speaker 3: NFL.

00:51:03
Speaker 2: This is Chiefs, This is a statement. This is taking the Commanders putting them to bed, a bedtime story, putting them to sleep. Their season is gonna be over after this one. This is the Chiefs eleven and a half.

00:51:15
Speaker 1: You watch the Commanders Cowboys game. It is not good, bro, it was bad. It was bad. But damn even what they had going on, like the front seven, what they had going on the first part of the year, like it's looking more like last year, and they're very suspect on the back end in that secondary. And I just don't know what Marcus is going to be able to do or that offense is going to be able to do on Monday night football at Arrowhead with a pissed off Chiefs team, because's not like they're undefeated, like they're still having to make they're still having to make Hay getting back to the.

00:51:46
Speaker 2: Top of the division.

00:51:48
Speaker 1: I just don't I don't see I don't see Washington being able to keep this close with the Chiefs.

00:51:54
Speaker 2: I would also say, like Chiefs best with football, Like to me, it be the Lions.

00:52:01
Speaker 1: Chiefs they did, but at Arrowhead, you if you've got a Super Bowl matchup, you're in neutral field or something like that, like the Lions.

00:52:06
Speaker 2: Look, I think the Seahawks are.

00:52:08
Speaker 1: Playing really good right now playing I don't think it's head. I don't think it's head and shoulders. Where the Chiefs are just like, oh, this team is back and they're going to the super Bowl.

00:52:16
Speaker 2: Yeah we're we can talk about that game if you want. Or the Lions like the back half of their defense, their whole entire secondary is all their starters are out. They're more played by injuries, and the Chiefs are finding strides. They're at full capacity, they have less injuries going on right now. They are becoming Now the Chiefs have last year or the year before, but we're talking like two three years ago when they're leading leading the league in scoring.

00:52:39
Speaker 1: Because they've averaged what like thirty thirty five in the last however, like four games, three four games.

00:52:44
Speaker 2: We're operating in a way that's like impressive. The Lions went in to Week one a couple of years ago against the Chiefs at Arrowhead and won that game. Essentially was the star of the Lions that we know now. I just think I think there's not a team hotter than the Chiefs right now. I mean it's only October.

00:53:01
Speaker 5: No, you're right, I think you know, and I think the two factors which you lead to that are obviously adding more speed to the field.

00:53:06
Speaker 4: Everybody runs a four to two on that.

00:53:08
Speaker 5: You add Rashid Rice as you said, you get you force feed him the ball, Taekwon Thornton, Xavier Worthy gets healthy and that only opens up. You know, Travis Kelcey on the intermedia underneath routes, he looks like correct, but he's.

00:53:21
Speaker 2: Still fun.

00:53:24
Speaker 3: The grass. It's not about his speed. It's about his routes.

00:53:27
Speaker 5: Yeah, but not only the speed too, okay maybe from everybody else, but the protection as well. Even with Josh Simmons out, they're finding a way to protect for him. You know, get those four second you know that statue rattled off and it's looking like Mahomes from twenty eighteen nineteen where I mean, this is a team right now. If they were playing in the Super Bowl, you wouldn't bet against them. So I don't think it matters who starts for the Commanders, as Mariota Daniels, They've got too many injuries, quarterbacks taking too many hits. I think I like the Chiefs covering on this one, even if it's eleven and a half.

00:54:00
Speaker 3: Okay, I like everything you guys said, commanders, but when you throw a dog a bone, you don't ask the high taste. So I'm taking the commanders.

00:54:10
Speaker 2: That quote that don't that's a quote you don't think about.

00:54:18
Speaker 3: Don't think about.

00:54:20
Speaker 2: Hurricane. Let's say, hey, we gotta let that one fly. Yeah, it's also could be the next question.

00:54:26
Speaker 3: But when they see what wh when I hit, everybody gonna understand what that means.

00:54:30
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, there you go.

00:54:36
Speaker 2: So it's also brought to you by True Classic, True Class. You can find an Amazon and Costco, Sam's Club and a Target nationwide or at True Classic dot com Forward Slash Busting. Your boy likes the type pants. I got the type pants on right now. These are True Classic right here. They fit great. You can get real mobile on those boys right there. You're gonna do whatever you want, do whatever you want, but you're gonna look good, feel good, play good in True Classic. All right, let's get to the True Class the game of the week. Every every Sunday, He's got games. Only one fits just right. This is the True Classic Game of the Week. What the Dallas Cowboys at the Denver Broncos. Broncos are favorite minus three and a half at home the total points in the game is fifty and a half. Over take the over. This is an over game. This is an over game.

00:55:19
Speaker 3: Champagne is a dog, straight out dog. My boy goes in the paper talk major crap about other quarterbacks, Like I like, I just like what they got going on.

00:55:28
Speaker 2: I did like the this Russell Wilson Sempagne.

00:55:32
Speaker 5: I like that makes Russ an easy target for everybody in the media, is the fact that he won't say anything, and he, you know, always wants to be the bigger man. So I like that he finally had something to say. Control the narrative, you know, even if it was you know, tastefully, you know, tweet it, you know.

00:55:53
Speaker 4: Class well execute. Yeah, like that's it's like something my dad would say that.

00:55:56
Speaker 3: Rich But did you think he was I like what Champagne he said. Do you think he was literally taking a shot? You knew what he was doing. I'm glad that they made him play against us before putting Jackson dard in Like I was that.

00:56:09
Speaker 2: I don't think I don't think he was until after you played us.

00:56:13
Speaker 1: Quote, yeah, I don't think he like when he sees if he's seeing everything, I don't think he minds that he said it that way, thinking of it from that angle.

00:56:22
Speaker 2: But I don't think he was going in saying that quote for that angle to take not to take a shot. I didn't think think he was.

00:56:28
Speaker 1: He was complimenting Jackson Darton and he was talking about he was talking to the owner. I kind of wish he was gonna hang on to him until after our game. Was like, we don't want to see him studying him and studying him coming.

00:56:37
Speaker 3: Out like this is a good player. But I do love how it's blown up. But I like that because this is that's Sean Payne. He loves that attention, like, get bring it all to me. I'm gonna show you who we are. And we did Denver Broncos and we did Denver Bronks. I like Denver.

00:56:54
Speaker 1: Just because Scotty started stringing steps together during the game winning drive of the Denver Broncos, I feel like it's a sign this.

00:57:01
Speaker 2: Week we got a walker on her hands.

00:57:04
Speaker 1: Now yeah officially, yeah, like she can put a chickens Scotty.

00:57:12
Speaker 5: I'm over here thinking, like who we're.

00:57:16
Speaker 1: Talking about, So I'm talking about my eleven month old scott Zilla. She's stringing steps together. We got one on film to where she put like four or five together, and it was during the comeback win of the Denver Broncos game. So I'm sitting there watching that tape thinking about these games, and I'm like, this video is right in front of my face, and I think it's a sign, and I'm gonna take that sign. And that sign is Denver minus three and a half at home against the Cowboys.

00:57:41
Speaker 5: Bro there's not a quarterback playing better than Dak Prescott. This is the best he's ever played in his entire career. I mean, George Pickens trade looks phenomenal right now. CD does not miss a beat when he comes back from that ankle injury. Javonte Williams is running like a dog for over one hundred yards one of the most explosive offenses. If they could actually get a semblance of defense, they might actually be able to hang in some of these tough games.

00:58:07
Speaker 4: If only they had a you.

00:58:08
Speaker 5: Know, premier pass rusher or something, which I hear they're in the market for now. Over there hearing things about Max Crosby. But hey, just to put in perspective how well Dak's playing, He's got a better QBR than Lamar Jackson in twenty nineteen at this point, No, we're not even halfway there, unanimous MVP. Just put in perspective, just something for y'all to think about. You saw and you saw Jackson dark cut up that Broncos offense for three quarters. They have Bo Nicks brought him back in the fourth quarter. But was that a collapse by the Giants or was that the Broncos are.

00:58:37
Speaker 4: The real deal?

00:58:38
Speaker 3: Yeah?

00:58:40
Speaker 4: I like the Cowboys here.

00:58:43
Speaker 3: I like the offense, that defense, though.

00:58:45
Speaker 2: Bud, this was they've made better five days ago. I would win one hundred percent agree with you. But when you turn on that commander's film against the Dallas Cowboys, like you expect to see the same thing zone, it's no disguise. It's too high. I feel like they played single They've made a lot more man, they played a lot more single high. They played. They disguised a lot of their blitzes. They played a game where you don't just put it on go oh the Nickels coming. Oh, this backer's blitzing right now. Oh it's third and seven. Here's seven guys up. Like they're putting guys on the line, they're dropping out guys, they're they're running great run game stunts. That defense looked completely different than when you put on the film when they were playing the Giants or every team they played this year. Like the defense looks more energized. It looks like Matt abral Flu has pulled out more than just one play call out of his pocket, like he seems like he knows, Hey, I love running zone. However, I kind of got guys that can run with dudes and when they were in man coverage. Could be two things. There's there's two things that could be real. The Cowboys defense with them changing their play calls, they're now a better defense because of it, because they look like them much better if it's Commanders. And the other thought is the Commanders expected zone and they got more man, therefore they were confused. Both those things can be true. I'm choosing to believe that this different play calling and that this defense flying around a little bit more where they seem like they don't look lost. That we've looked at a bunch. I see that coupled with Dak Prescott, the play calling from Schottenheimer, the way they're running the football, they will get in the same personnel a two by two with the while on the line of scrimmage, and they will run seven different plays out of the same formation where you don't know what they're calling next, and that's what makes them so dangerous. Then you put George Pickens in the fold, who's not a big separation guy, but can make any kind of catch. City Lambs back. He looks healthier than ever. He had himself a touchdown, and Dak Prescott is putting the ball in spots that I don't think there's another quarterback that's throwing up like him right now. And I will be taking the Cowboys. Yeah, I think I'm taking.

01:00:49
Speaker 4: The Cowboys Cowboys line. I'm with you that money line.

01:00:52
Speaker 2: However, for the show, for the record, for the sake of me feeling better about myself and the standings, I'm gonna take him with the points. But when I get on the FanDuel Sportsbook gap, there's gonna be a come to Jesus talk I have with myself when I look at it and go do I press that m L And I think the answer is yes. Personal for the show at all.

01:01:09
Speaker 4: Partaking the points, give me the money line.

01:01:12
Speaker 3: We like that.

01:01:14
Speaker 2: Get hyph, it's not gonna hit, but get Jontay Williams to dude, he's running the ball well, and like the Dallas Cowboys offensive line, they're like not the best in the league, but they're like doing it. They're doing enough, and it's it's cool to see. It's like, it's very like if I'm an offensive linement in this offense, I'm having a blast right now because they're at the point where every time you get on the field, you're just thinking we're gonna score and it doesn't matter what we do, what play we call. You just get this flow state type of feeling. And they've done that very consistently. It juices me up. I'm kind of becoming a Cowboys fan. I'm kind of if they get Max Crosby. This is how I felt. This is how the Falcons versus the Bills. We were like, bro, they really they have an actual squad here. They can really if they get one guy, if they make a play, I think you get a perennial pass rusher and then maybe a d tackle as well. It's like, if you're Jerry Jones, you can't go and draft a guy in the first round or two guys in the first round, and then they play for a year and they say, Okay, this guy's gonna be good in a couple of years. Then you're three four years down the road see thee Lambs three four years older. Prescott is who knows where George Pickens is at this time, Like there's a whole bunch of what ifs. Like what I know right now is you have a change championship caliber offense. If you can get your defense to be average average fifteen to twenty in the league, you can win a Super Bowl.

01:02:39
Speaker 4: That NFC East is wide open.

01:02:41
Speaker 2: Wide open, which is crazy because Eagles just one. But then it is wide open three three and one.

01:02:47
Speaker 1: Great chill boys, that's right. Bet the boys parlay. Oh yeah, I thought we sorry, I thought.

01:02:56
Speaker 4: We celebrate, celebrate.

01:02:58
Speaker 2: I could have swam. We did them partly at the swear see paper on the ground that the oside about.

01:03:03
Speaker 3: I love that.

01:03:04
Speaker 4: So you got Jonathan Taylor, right, dude?

01:03:07
Speaker 2: Take it?

01:03:08
Speaker 1: Yeah, James Cook, No, no, I switched it because I was throwing Taylor a bone and I was gonna use that bone joke on him.

01:03:17
Speaker 3: But then he fucked me by not taking Jonathan Taylor. That was the whole setup.

01:03:22
Speaker 4: On on the text.

01:03:24
Speaker 3: That was saying, but he ain't take it, So I'm gonna take Jonathan Taylor.

01:03:29
Speaker 4: Yeah, because I was gonna hit him with you.

01:03:30
Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying. You ain't taking Titans to right, You ain't taking a tight end on.

01:03:34
Speaker 3: A I mean, after seeing how geek everyone got that we hit that parlay, I just want that feeling again.

01:03:44
Speaker 2: I want to win and I know that is it, that is it, That isn't getting that feeling create this.

01:03:51
Speaker 3: I gotta keep doing it. And Jonathan Taylor is him. So yeah, I'm.

01:03:56
Speaker 4: Gonna run all over your Titans too, right.

01:03:58
Speaker 3: We ain't gonna say all came my bad?

01:04:00
Speaker 4: Yep, He's gonna give it touch.

01:04:02
Speaker 2: He's all over. He's yes, bro.

01:04:07
Speaker 5: You know who else is gonna run all over the Miami defense? Who Bjeon Robinson?

01:04:11

01:04:12
Speaker 5: Indeed, I said Queen Shawn Judkins last week he did it three times over.

01:04:16
