We are back again on the axis of football. Thank you ladies and gentlemen for tuning in the axis of football. Corro Safa, alongside Shar Port Danish. Welcome back. Welcome back to you, buddy. You were doing the big thing out in in, where was that? Cancun, I think. San Coon. Yeah. How was, how was that my man? What was going on out there? Oh, well, it was, it was a wedding, but the wedding was, you know, obviously just for facilities were like two, three days. My girlfriend and I decided to take advantage of the flight and you know, we went there for over a week. So, yeah, it was, it was a lot of fun. And I thought we were gonna be able to record last week cuz I was on the same time zone as you being can gon, but just you know, the, it was an all inclusive place, so say no more, Right. Yeah. So, you know how that went. What what, what was the, what was the highlight of the trip for you? Dude, it was, it was just awesome. It was just the people were so nice and just being pampered. And just, you know, and the food, the, I mean, obviously, look, I, I come, I'm, I'm, I'm in a beach city already. Well, you're from California too, where Mexican food is gonna be pretty good. Yeah. But, but I'm telling you, the bu the simple stuff just tastes so much better over there, like the butters and the breads and the desserts and, and yeah, just going crazy. So, What do you, what, what does what, what does Char eat when he is trying to splurge on, on a cheat day? Like what, what do you throw out? Yeah. I, I literally go with what? With what, what I feel like, and, and, and here's the thing, the place that was at all inclusive. Usually when you hear all inclusive, it's not good food, but they had, like, we had steak and lobster, all you can eat, and like we had every kind of, we had duck, we had pork, we had steak, we had lobster, we had giant shrimp. It sounds like the spread you had over at in Vegas with the Raiders. No, that was, that was something else. That was something else. This, this was this, But in terms of for seven days, being able to eat like that. Oh, yeah, yeah. You know, so it's, it's like whatever, whatever, you know? And, and the fruit juices were just phenomenal. Oh, unfair. I'm getting hungry right now. I just Hey, listen, we stopped by, We, we have a layover in Dallas. It's only a two and a half hour flight for you. I recommend it. Well, you tell me you had a layover in Dallas. You didn't gimme a call. Yeah, my layover was like, you know, I, I exit, I go through customs and I rush over on board. what you want me to say? Hey buddy, I'm in. Get a hung out for two minutes. I'm offended that you didn't say anything. Yeah, right. I didn't even have to hang out. Well, look man, in any, in any case, that's awesome. Good to have you back on on, on this side of the border. A lot to talk about, man. A lot has Ed. Autonomous is the nfl. It's like you're, you're away for a little bit and a million things change. I think one, one theme that we were talking about, Char, it's just been crazy that we didn't anticipate struggling, you know, Hall of Fame veteran type quarterbacks, right? We've seen, you know, Brady Rogers, Russell Wilson, Matt Ryan, all struggle both the Packers and the Buccaneers. In fact, all these teams, packers, bucks. Broncos Colts all at or under 500. Matt Ryan just got benched char in favor of Sam Ellinger, which is interesting because the Colts also do have Nick voles over there as the backup. But they're, they're going with the kid, Mr. Sam Ellinger and Russell Wilson. Man, we know he's, he just has not been the sample player. They, they lost in overtime. They're the Chargers who, you know, looks like they, they, they can't win a pillow fight even these days. And then you got them losing it home to the Jets, although that was with Brett Rip. But Russell Wilson's has not been himself this whole season. Basically. He's such a poser. I'm so sorry. And then, And then, and then, And then look, Brady and Rogers, this is the furthest into his season ever where both of these quarterbacks have been under 500. So something amiss over there. Let's just open it up, man. Real quick, what, which one of these I would say I want to get into, which one of these results do you think is most surprising? Which of these quarterbacks do you think have the best opportunity to actually pull themselves out of the the slump that. Well, here's the thing. If I were to answer, which is the most surprising to me, which I am answering, it would be Green Bay, because I had them to, I had, I picked them to win the nfc. And you actually had, you would say Denver, because you had them playing the bills in the, in the in the AFC Championships, so, Right. Yeah. So those, those are, those are, those are our I'm, I'm shocked at, at, at, at how poorly Green Bay's playing because I thought you're gonna run the Baltimore and, and they just haven't. They just have not run the Baltimore, It's, I'm thinking if you are two best offensive players be besides your quarterback, are, are, are your two stud running backs and they're so. Different from each other that, that you should play'em together. You should play'em together. Come up with a, come up with some kind of a formation to be able to run'em side by side running and, and, and, and make the defense. Guess which one of these two guys gonna get the ball? And, and here's the thing. They both can catch the, you know, catch passes. So that's, that's what I'm more shocked about. And, and and you know, somebody, I'm not really that shocked about Tampa, Tampa. Because everything that could go wrong for Tom Brady has gone wrong. What have I always said has been the vein to Tom Brady's existence is, is to pressure him in his face, not enabling him to step up, to throw the ball. Cause Brady doesn't, Brady is not a very talented player. I'm, again, I'm not saying that he's untalented, I'm just saying in terms of his greatness, his talent is the least remarkable aspect of, of, of, of, of his stats. He has to be able to step into the throw to get, to get the ball out there to his receivers and losing Ali Marette and losing Alex Kaa. Alex Kaa, and then, and then you lose your center. So, and then Yeah, that, that, that's the entire interior line basically, which we're talking about Yeah. And, and then you lose Tristan works. So which like, and then who's, who's one of the most, I mean, but honestly, Sharp. Forget Brady. I mean, I think most quarterbacks that that would lose that many guys from one season into the next, probably there's gonna be, there's gonna be a bit of, of, of struggle to pick things back up. Yeah. But, but guys like Josh Allen and, and, and Yeah, but I mean, how many guys exist? I'm saying most right. Guys that can throw off their back leg. Yeah. And, and is like maybe a handful of guys, maybe a handful of guys that, that could do that. So Alan Mahomes, you think Lamar Cause it was mobility, but like the vast majority of NFL quarterbacks Right. Are probably gonna last. So I, I don't, Look's right. I will say though, like Brady, I still see like a zip on his balls. I don't think his arm is, No, not at all. That's what I'm trying to tell you. It's not like, it's not like we're Peyton Manning at the. There was a clear, like, like delay in his recognition and his, his throw. You could see Peyton having fell off the edge. It was, it was clear his, I don't, Brady look who would've thought Char that that who, who did they just loose to? They just, I mean, the Panthers who were a team that basically the front office is trying to. I mean, they, they get they trade. Christian we were talking about is Christian McCaffrey traded to the 49ers, right? They get rid of him, fire their coach, right? I mean they saying DJ Moores maybe on trading block. I mean, there's, it's a fire sale over there. And PJ Walker, Baker Mayfield's out. Sam Dars a PJ Walker. The, the was it the xfl Castaway comes. And they beat the Bucks 21 to three off the back of both Deontay Foreman and Chba Hubbard. I mean, Foreman had a hundred yards rushing against these guys, and they were, and they were supposed to be a, for formidable run defense. So it doesn't help either when the defense can't stop the, the Panthers with PJ Walker and Chewba Hubbard. Right. It's, it's one of those things where they weren't expecting it, they got punched in the mouth and, and it's a combination of, of them losing Christian McCaffrey. And so people are like, What we gonna, we gonna focus on PJ Walker running, you know, running up and down the field on us and the Don't either. Yeah. No. Look, if they played that game, that game 10 times again, bucks are gonna win Nine outta 10 times. Possibly 10 out 10 times. It wasn't even a close game. No, it, it was a fluke. It was honestly, God, that's, that's one of those, Here's what I was trying to tell you. Now you're gonna find out who the true Brady haters are because for the last five, eight years that Brady hat. Had to keep their mouth shut, otherwise they would've been ridiculed. Right? But now that Brady haters are, are, are sneaking their way out and saying, See, told you so. Father time. See, I told you so. No. To your point, Curtis Brady's ball still has zip on it. When he steps up. When he steps up, right? This is quite possibly the worst offense that, that Brady has had. And, and I know he has two great receivers, but when he doesn't have the time to get the ball to them, he's gonna be ineffective. And the other part of it, Was grunt. Boy could he use golf right now. And how about like a James White, You know Kevin Fa they're all underperforming. Yeah. Like, like one of those, you know, Shane Bere type running back. He doesn't have that Leonard for talented, but he's not kind of that scat that third down scat. Back Nickelback. No, no. Leonard's Leonard's busting his us. He's a big, tough guy. He's busting and says he needs, Look, he needs grok right now. He needs gro so desperately. I just don't see, I don't see grok coming a sub 500 team. Right? I I, I think he should, he should. Honestly, God, if I was talking to Gronk or if I was talking to Brady and, and Brady needs to pick up the phone and say, Dude, your boy needs you. Your boy needs you. You need to, Well, here's the other part of it. I just read this article this morning that said, supposedly Giselle's final ultimatum is for Brady to just. Stop playing football like now. Well kissed my. Well, with all due respect sounds, it sounds like Brady, maybe not in those exact words, but in a, in a manner speaking, you probably told her the same thing, Uchin, kiss my ass. Your husband is the greatest winner of all time. This is such a power play by a woman who wants to be the. Like, like give me a, like what, What You try to flex your muscles. You try to have a pissing contest with the greatest of all time. He's got two or three more years tops. Let the man make history. This is a power play by, by goddamn oh, shark. What was it? Power play. No. Stop. Stop, stop. I don't want to. Your husband is the greatest winner in the history in the of sports. Okay. Your husband is the greatest winner, and, and again, I'm a guy that's being accused of being a Brady Hatter by yours. Truly, I mean, Right. Mr. Savi. I mean, yeah, you definitely throw a shade at him, I think. But yeah. You are incredible. He is the greatest winner. He is the greatest winner of all time. And this woman has the audacity to say, Oh, I need you to be home to take the goddamn trash off because we're not billions. I, I think, I don't, I I can't, I don't have an educated point. Well, you're trying to be nice. You're trying, you're trying to placate the female population. What I know, what I know for a fact is that she has supported him a lot through the needs to support him Some. 13 years of marriage, Right. Needs to do it more so for 13 years she hasn't said anything, so she needs to support him more. What else do you wanna. I don't know enough about my, my, my, my point is that also kind of adds a layer here with Brady, but I agree, like, I think ultimately like his, his skill set, I'm least concerned about Rogers. We talk about him like he just, they, it's like they lost Avante Adams, but they're running on the same offense as if he's there. This is, this is the coach. This is, there's few of these, of these where this is, and if you, Well, did you hear Rogers? I mean, his. His press conference quotes, were calling out the coaching. He's saying there's not enough energy on the sidelines. Guys aren't being held accountable. Well, Who are you talking about there, Aaron? Right. Re really did, did he honestly say that? Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Oh yeah, he did. There's not enough energy on the sideline. and, and again, this is, this is coming from a guy that, that was saying he's the greatest of all time. In terms of quarterback. Okay. But I think we've gotten this sense of like a bit of arrogance and Oh, extremely arrogant. Yeah. There's not, Look, when you say there's no energy, you're, you're basically calling. I don't mind him calling out the coaches. I don't mind him calling out the coaches because technically he's calling us somebody that's superior to him and that actually takes balls. But when you're calling out the sideline, these are guys that look up to you. These are guys that are playing for. And he also, he also came after his teammates. You know, he said he actually said he, he, he put a number on it. He, he said that his, his teammates are making mistakes 20% of the time. He said, Guys who are making too many mistakes shouldn't be playing. Maybe guys who aren't playing, maybe they should get more reps. Yeah, he, he definitely came, He definitely came after. His teammates as well. Basically he's saying like, one fifth of the time, somebody's making a mistake and it's not acceptable. I don't know that I What about himself? Did he call himself out at all that arrogant ask? I, I, I, that's a good question. I don't, I don't think so. Dude, what's going, what's going on with the world crew? But here's the thing, I don't mind him, I don't mind him saying that 20 of the time. He said, and then he said, When our players take ownership of what we're putting on the field, You'll then maybe you'll see the possibility of us making it run. So he's also saying, we're not owning it either. How about you start with yourself, asshole? Yeah. I mean, that's, that's just, it's, it's a very, What, what, Let me ask something. How does it sound to your ears when he said that? Does it sound good? Obviously not, right? No, of course not. Okay, now let me, now let me add something to it. Let, let me, let me add this. What if he would've said, I need to look in the mirror and I need to cut down all my mistakes. I need to be a better leader, because there's 20% of the time somebody's making mistakes and, and as the quarterback and as a leader of this team, It falls on my shoulders to make sure my teammates and myself included, are not making mistakes. Because right now, 20% of the time, somebody's making a mistake and it just won't cut it. How about if you would've said it like that Kish Dennis, it's then what would you say? What would you say to that? He's still saying the same thing, right? Yeah, you are. Right. And I think it's, you have a lot more respect or something like that. And, And then, you know, when he was asked about those comments during the week, Cause this, this was immediately following the loss. They had to, to your Washington Commander Shark. Congratulations buddy. Big win for your guys. They're not my commanders. Reskins used to be mine commanders aren't mine. Well, well, they asked them about the, and he basically said midweek Actually, yesterday, he said, People in this society have a hard time hearing the truth sometimes. how about you? Your self asshole. Yeah. I mean, how, how about, how would you get a normal haircut and act your age? All right. You're not 22. You know, like, look, I, I told my son when he was in high school, he, my youngest Alex, he said, Dad, I'm gonna grow my hair out long to kind of have, like, you know, And I said, Buddy, I said, Dude, right now while you're in high school, right, Right now you do it in high school. It's cool and it's fun. You do that when you're 25, 30, you're an. So look, I think Aaron Rogers is going through a midlife crisis, and Aaron Rogers needs to wake up and understand that the world doesn't revolve around him. And when you are a leader, part of your responsibility as being of, of a leader, kuru, is to eat shit for other people. You eat shit for other people, okay? You fall on the sword, you learn, you learn how to fall on the sword for the for the better. Look, go to the team. I, you don't know how many times, how many times I ate shit for the teams that I was a team captain of. You have no idea how many times I did that. Yeah. And, and, and look unjustly. So, because I never said our team needs to play better, I would say it starts with me. I need to play better. And you know what? And once I do, As a leader to see my, my teammates around me are gonna start playing better also. Yeah. That's how you say what appeal, like, you know what? I'm done with you. Well, well, well, and I, but I do, ironically, I actually think that Brady and Rogers are the two that have the best opportunity to pull themselves out of this, because. Versus Sue who, who do the other versus verse versus Russell and, and Matt Ryan. And by the way, well, Matt's Matt Ryan's stuff. Matt, Ryan, you talking Matt Ryan. I'm literally the least surprised about, I was the first one to be like, really they're bringing in Matt Ryan because that guy is, is, is a corpse in the pocket. And I know Atlanta's offensive line caught a ton of heat for all the sacks they gave. But if you watch those Falcons games, a lot of the sacks were Matt Ryan holding the ball too long. And guess what? Same thing's happening in Indy. Yes, I know Indy's offensive line is underperformed, but they're not that bad. Think about what I think what 24, 25 sacks Matt Ryan's. Holding, holding, holding. He's not mobile anymore. He's not a player who he was. It's not shocking. And again, I gotta go back, man. Jime was so gungho, he put all ships to the table on the excuse that last year's, failure. Was because of the quarterback, and he, he bust chucked Carson Whites. Oh, he ran him over, He ran him over with trailer and so and so, Colts Nation and everybody else of Bill of Goods, that bringing in Matt Ryan and established veteran and a former mvp, a former Super Bowl appearance quarterback, that's gonna make it all better. Guess what, Jim, You're, you're in a far worse situation and you got San Ellinger. Now what does Jim, me, they have to say. Well, here's no, he, he, he owes Wes an apology for what he did. No, but, but he's a billionaire. He's not gonna do that. Cause he, here, here's the thing. K. Last year he verbally, he verbally put it all on, on Carson Winston's shoulders. Right, Right. He, yeah. Multiple times. Yes. Okay. By him. I guarantee you this was not the coaching staff benching Mad Ryan. I guarantee this came from the. You're right. Guarantee you, you're right, you're right. I, I know for a fact, I know for, look, you know, I have some soft NFL contacts. You know that by soft meeting. Like I don't have anybody directly in, in in, in, in. But, but the rumor bill gets to me, people that I'm keeping in touch with, this came from the top and it was, You're gonna get fired or we gonna put, we. This basically just saved Frank Frank's job because what's happening now? Without saying now, for now, for now. Without saying, without saying that this is, this is our quarterback's fault. What's he saying? It's our quarterback's fault. Right, right. And by the way, I'm not actually, like, I don't, I don't disagree with the decision. I actually, I actually think it's. The right decision because I think clearly Matt Ryan isn't the guy. Right? And he might Graham Eer. Who, who is he? Do you even know him? Oh yeah. He was great. He was University of Texas quarterback. He was a rookie last year. He, he's looked really good in preseason. He's mobile, he's decent. I think he was a, he was like a six round pick. But finding that's a good move to make. That's, I, I mean, I. Yeah, the guy, the guy played D one ball. I mean, I don't know what his, what his his stats in college were. But like, he was, he was a, a standout player at Texas for sure. I mean, he was, he was decent, but he was, obviously he did, he did kind of fall in the draft. And he's a project guy, which is again, why I was saying, well, why don't you go with Nick Foles in the situation. Right. You got, What's the point of having Nick Falls on the. If you're gonna go, you're gonna go to Elinger in this situation. That's, that's what I'm surprised about. But I think maybe what they're trying to do is see what they have in, in, in the. Right, and maybe at least maybe you get, get a trade piece for him if he looks good. Like there's really no benefit to Nick Voles coming in and being mediocre. Is that No, I, I actually agree with this move. It's Nick Falls is there If your team was doing well on your playoff contention, And you project right to keep the ship afloat. Right? But, but this is not a time for Nick Falls. This is a time for Nick Falls to basically teach Sam Allinger, you know, the ropes and, and, and make the reasons, stuff like that. No, I absolutely agree with the move that they're making because they look, they need to see what they got, this chip. They need to see what they got in this kid. So, so what I'm, here's the takeaway I got from that. What I'm really happy about is that in one of my fantasy leagues last week, I traded away Christian Mc Careful and got Jaylen Hertz and and Jonathan Taylor, because I'm telling you Jonathan Taylor is gonna go run a mark now. Yeah. Jonathan Taylor's gonna go because it's gonna be a Taylor Chi. I mean it as it should have been. He just hasn't be able to get it going, but, Right. You hope to see that going? Yeah. He was a four year starter at Texas. Threw for almost 12,000 yards there. His best season was in 2019 where he threw for 3,600 yards, 32 tds, only 10 picks, and he had another 6 63 on the ground. So the kids Oh wow. The kids mobile. Wow. Yeah. So I think he'll struggle, but I think he'll also maybe flash. But yeah, this is, this is the cults basically, I think wav. Win the towel on this season, which AFC South is wide open. And Russell Wilson, man, what can you say? They're playing The Broncos are playing, in London. This weekend, they're playing the Jacksonville Jaguars who are basically what London's the, the unofficial team of London, right? Cause they're always over there, right? Apparently Russell Wilson spent four hours of the eight hour flight doing knee ups and sprints in the, an aisle of the, of the airplane on the way there. So what do you make of that buddy? He is such a po. Who's he posing? Who's he trying to be? Like, What's he posing? He must, he must have, He, you've, he's got the biggest, or rather the smallest small man complex ever and has nothing to do with like, it, it, it is like he is constantly trying to prove himself to the people that don't matter. To the people that don't matter. Do we call him Russell? Russell, Donna Apart, or no? Po Wilson. Did you see his interview, how he was smiling, like, I'm so proud of me. I did you see his interview? For the first two hours I watched film for the next four hours. I I did rehab. You know, I did high knees and walking, and then, then the next hour I slept and then I finished it off with, You know, it's like, Shut up, he is the type of person that you want to just say, Shut up, bro. What do you think his line thinks of him? If, if you were on the line on that team, like, like obviously you're not behind closed doors to know how they interact, but like if you can imagine having a quarterback with that demeanor that you're protecting and going to battle for every Sunday, you can't say anything to him. You can't say anything to him because the, the Broncos are invested in him. He's the, out of this entire, Tell me this, educate me this. How big of a deal is it? Like, obviously he is underperforming, right? And obviously like, you know, he's, he's like you said, he did a bit of a poer maybe that's like, gets old. How big of a deal is the salary and what they gave up? Huge. Yeah. Him in the eyes of the players. In the eyes of the players. Do they look at that and say like, does it add a layer of disappointment on the players that he's, he's also getting paid$245 million to. Basically do all, do all this crap. But he's not, And, and, and that's why if I was on that team, I wouldn't be able to say anything to him. And I, and not that I wouldn't be, I wouldn't say anything to him. I would just look at him sideways and just not respond to him. I, I, it, it would literally be like, honestly, I'm a big guy on in terms of I'm, I'm big in terms of like playing for your teammates and your coaches. and at that point I've been part of some, I've been part of some teams where it's like, you're like, What am I playing for? And then you're like, I'm playing for my job now at this point, this is where I would literally be focusing on getting the highest grade possible and staying injury free for the next year. So that my stock goes up because I would not wanna play, I would not wanna block a quarterback like that who is just, loves to shine a flashlight on himself. And, and, and here's, and here's the thing. When you are struggling like this, you just need to shut up and win. Yeah. But interesting. Sure. Kyle Brat on NFL Network was talking about like, I think he, he hosts the they have these the, the, what's it called, the NFL honors. It's, it's like, you know, the, the show they do before the Super Bowl? The night Super Bowl. Yeah. Give some of the awards out. And this guy, like, he's, he was the host of the NFL Honors and he was saying how like all the players come up. Shake your hand and are backstage and cool and just like shooting the breeze. He's like, Travis, Kelsey's cool. And like Travis Kelsey's great. And like he, and he is like, Russell Wilson shows up like with Sierra with his shades on and like, it's too cool for school. Doesn't wanna say hi to anybody. He thinks he's in Hollywood. Basically. Like, you know, back up off me, you know, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll come forward when you need me, but don't, don't talk to me. Like, you know, it's like, and he, he's like, Dude, like is, is, if that's how you're showing up all the time. That's not gonna, eventually it's gonna rub some people the wrong way. Right. Even on your, on your own team. Oh, absolutely. Absolutely. Look, he's a poser. He, he is. He, he needed to be an NBA player because you know, that shit flies in the nba. No. That flies in the nba. Plain and simple. Plain and simple. That show fights in the nba. It does not find the NFL where it's the team. Where's the team sport. Well, sure. I. So we know Matt Ryan's situation's not salvageable. He's done, he's getting shut down for the year sharp. What happens if Bronco's going to London and loses the Jags this weekend? And Russell Wilson still keeps, you know, playing with his food with regards to like, his level of play or like, like, like how, how, how does Russell play? They go, let's just say what, what he is been doing. Let's say he's, let's say he's, you know, 17 of 31 for. You know 196 yards and a touchdown on a pick or something. I don't know. Like, it's like a, like a, a very average game there. There's nothing that can be happen. Nothing that can happen. Nothing. I mean, at what point, what, to me, Char, I think, I think Nathaniel Hackett's in the hot seat. Oh, hell yeah. Hell yes. I don't think, I, I think Russell, first of all, they're, they're, they're too far in bed with his financial commitment, and Hackett was not hire. By this ownership group, The Bolens are the ones who hire hack it before they sold the team off. So these, these guys don't have any loyalty to, to Nathan Hackett. And all they're seeing is a guy who clearly is in over his skis for this job hack. It's done. Get Russell Wilson's struggles, you know, I mean, they're, they're, they're committed to them at least for the next two, three years based on the nu amount of guarantee money they gave. So it's, it's if, if just for financials hack, it's the guy who's really gonna be in the chopping. It's that that goes without saying. I mean, you asked me, what would you say to Russell if you were on that team? And I said Nothing. Because literally in it, the way the, the makeup of the Bronco stands right now, it goes the ownership group. Then the next safest person in that whole entire organization is Russell Wilson. And then you got the general manager and then some of your star players and stuff like that. Because you don't say a word. You do not say a word to Russell Wilson. You, you don't, you, It, it's, it's, it's kind of like when I was with the Raiders and I made a stupid mistake of telling Tim Brown to shut the fuck up. He, he was Mr. Raiders. He was Mr. Raiders. And, and although, although I think Tim Brown comes off infinitely more personable than Russell Wilson, Tim, and, and look, I ran into Tim and, and unfortunately he remembered me, which was, which was not good. Was this How many, how many, how many Iranian left tackles right. Well, that's actually that. That's what's funny is, is that some of the guys Adam Tropman, who was the starting center of the, of the Raiders, and I said, Hey, Adam, it's sure. He goes, Hey, Sharp for, I'm like, Oh, you remember him? He goes, How many Iranian left tackles are there? And goes, Yeah, I remember who you're, I don't name who you are. So, yeah, so it's usually, like I said, you want people to remember you, but in this case for Tim Brown, want'em to forget me, but a, a, Anyways, so look, Russell Wilson is in there. You can't say a word to him. The guy that's gotta go, it's, it's, it's gonna be the coach. It's gonna be the coach, because it's insanity to keep banging your head against the wall. And expecting different results each time. So it, it's like something's gotta give, Something's gotta go. You're not getting rid of Russell Wilson unless if somebody comes in and gives you a trade offer and takes the contract off your off your hands. But I doubt that's what they're gonna do. They're gonna, This coach is gone maybe sooner than later. Maybe, maybe if, if they lose, he, he might just say, Hey, listen, here's a, here's a, you, you don't even fly back on the, on the. So that's, that's what I think. Geez. Yeah, stay, stay, stay back and do some sight Seeing Buddy Yeah. Just, you know, once you stay in London, no. Check out Big Gun and, and London Bridge. And, and here's the thing. And it, and it, and, and it might be unjust, and this is one of those situations that we don't know is Russell Wilson, this guy that we had overhyped all this time and giving shit to Pete Carroll about, because here, here's the thing. I would've generally if, if That's a great point. That's a phenomenal point, Jar. So it, it, it's, it's like, look, this entire time, if Gino Smith hadn't been playing this great with this team, that's not as good as Russell's teams last year, I would've said, Oh, you gotta get rid of the coach now. You gotta get rid of, Now this is Adam Gates 2.0, but the fact that Gino Smith is doing so well with Pete Carroll it, it's like you, it makes you wonder, right? It's, it does, man, It, it, it makes, Okay, I gotta tell you, I gotta say, man, like I. This was gonna be Carol's swan song in Seattle. I really thought that they were gonna be so bad this year without Russell Wilson, that it was gonna kind of be like one of those we mutually agreed to part ways the end of the year because like, you know, it's he's oversay his welcome. Thanks to the run. Pete, we're we gotta move into the next chapter. Pete Kara looks like a damn genius. Doesn't. I mean, what the job he's done with Geno Smith, I mean Sure. Just like, just like we, just like we called it. Sea Hawks, first place nfc, West Bronco's, last place, AFC West. Just, just, just the way we drew it up. Yeah. It's like, well, to, to my, to my credit, I did say, I did say Broncos number three in, in AFC West to my, to my credit. I'll take that one. But I did say Seahawks last, but their last place at this point, they'd be, they'd be happy to finish their play, but, but I'm just saying like, that's. I'm just saying the juxtaposition, right? The hawks in first place and the Broncos in last place, Like nobody saw the, those two things coming, right? That's, No, that's why Pete Carroll, Pete Car, Pete Carroll. And my question is real talk. How, how did Russellville watching Sports Center and watching Geno Smith just turn the lights out in LA against the Chargers last week? I mean, how, How's Russell when Russell in the exact same building gets the exact same team one week prior, couldn't be. A with a better way, better defense with a, a far better team supporting cast every Right. How seriously how's he feeling right now? Cause like, you literally have like a, a like, for like comparison both on the road. Absolutely. Both on the road in la. Same team, same defense one week apart from each other. And, and remember, remember when he said, I'm tired of getting. Yeah. Yeah. Do you remember that? Oh God. Yeah. I, I know you do that going on. So I, I remember that that was the first time that I've ever, because I was a huge Russell Wilson fan, humongous Russell Wilson fan until the day that he said, I'm tired of getting hit on the damn Patrick ship. Yeah. That's what, That's what, that's what I'm like, Dude, you need to shut up. Yeah. Well, It's, it, it can't be a good feeling right now. I they're, they're doing quite victory laps in Seattle right now. They they are, They are. They got it. Kings Ransom and Pete Carroll news Flash guys, he's still one hell of a football coach. Oh, hell yeah. Hell of a football coach. And he was, were, and remember last year some people were saying that, Oh, well, Pete Carroll just fell into Russell Wilson, and that's when he started winning like, You know it. Come on. And you see like, like Is Kip Tarek? Woo. What a freaking dollar. Who, who mentioned him week one. Do you remember that? You did mention him. Yeah. You remember that? The guy's incredible. Anyway. Sure. Let's speaking at coaching, man, where are we getting into the preview games? Cause we're gonna talk about this Sunday's action. I can't get my head around this fourth down. Insanity. The, the world has gone crazy to our last week. Brandon Staley, Mike McDaniel, Doug Peterson, all just like crazy forth down decisions, right? Like, and we've talked about analytics and coaches'. Blindly fault analytics don't read the flow of a game. And what, what's the point of doing that? Meeting a human head coach if you're just gonna be a robot. Some of these decisions started last. Actually, even, even analytics was saying, Hey, not a good idea, and they're still going for it. Mike McDaniel with an opportunity to go up, two scores go up, nine points in the second half of a very tight game. At the 28 yard line says, No, no thank you. On fourth and three, I'm gonna go for it. Runs the ball. When he ran the ball, the previous play for a loss runs the exact same play, gets stuffed again, and that ends up being a one possession game with the Steelers having a chance to win at the end because he said, I don't want the three points. I'm too good for three points. Brand Sta on his own 28 yard line in the first quarter. Zero. Zero. Ghost for it on fourth down, doesn't get it. Seattle goes up seven, nothing. Never looks back in that game. Blows the chargers out. Okay, Then you got Dougie, Peterson Shark. Jaguars Giants in the fourth quarter. The Jaguars are up 17, 13. They're in the field goal range. It's fourth and one. You can go up 20 to 13. The giants aren't doing anything on offense. They say, Nope, we're not gonna do it. We wanna go for the the fourth down, get a touchdown. They don't get it. Giants going on score touchdown. They never look back. Jaguars. What in the hell is going on? All of these games are decided by one score and coaches are turning down points. And really, honestly, Staley, McDaniel and Peterson are repeat offenders. Now. What the hell is going on, man? I, what, what else can I add? Corro said that I haven't said before. Well, this isn't even been, I'll tell you, this isn't even analytics anymore because in both in both Sta. And Mike McDaniel's, situations analytics. Analytics doesn't say to go for it on fourth down, If you're on 28, 0 0 in the first quarter, what analytics does that? Right? And Mike McDaniel even admitted that analytics was in favor of kicking a field goal in the second half to goal up nine points. Right? So these are guys actually not even foregoing analytics and saying, I just want the fourth down. Like, it just, it, it, it, it's basically Madden now is what it, it's, it's ridiculous. It's young analytics. It. It's, I don't know what, I don't know what it is if like it, it almost seems like these young coaches that have never played football before don't understand the effect that these decisions have on players. You know? You know what I mean? Yeah. Think that the sway of momentum. What have I always said? Football is what? Football is a game of momentum and field position. Okay. Literally. And again, look, I always refer to the great Chris Alt Hall of Fame coach. Alright? Only coaching college football history that was already in the Hall of Fame and was still coaching. This is how great he is. Okay? I learned a lot from him. I learned the course. Just a guy that coached over 30 years and had one losing season and that losing season was a six and was a five and six. In, in, in in, in over 30 years of coaching. Okay. So I don't care where, what level you're coaching. That's, that's amazing. All right. This guy always told me, Char, if we, if we can win with our punter gaining us five yards, five yards per possession, that's gonna be a, that's gonna be a winning formula for us. If you don't have turn, Like this is, this is how, this is how he played football also. And, and look, and it's not like he was conservative. He's the same guy that would say, If I ever go and jump out to a quick touchdown within the first two, three plays I'm going for too. Do you remember that? Yeah. So, because he, he, he, and again, he got his masters in psychology. Just, just so you know, he understood he was a college quarterback. He understood the flow of the game. He, I wonder what Chris Alt would say about, about what these guys are doing right now. I, you know what, I'm gonna call him. I'm gonna freaking call him and see what he thinks. I would love to get his thing. I mean, it's, it's truly crazy man. And. At some point, like I had, I had, so Mike May, excuse me, Brandon Sta to me is the biggest clown in this whole thing. He needs to go, he needs to go. He did it against Denver on Monday night. They won the game when they shouldn't have won the game. He tur it was a 1313 game. They're infield low range. It's late in the fourth quarter and he goes for it on fourth and two. Instead of going up 1613, it goes to overtime. Both teams switched possessions in overtime and it took, it took a muff punt by Denver. That put the charters, the FI range, right? So really like, and of course everybody forgets, like your coach almost caught. And then the following, he comes back and goes for it from his own 28 in the first quarter. Are you crazy man? Gosh, The guy, The guy needs to go. The guy needs to go. A buddy I'm in a fantasy league with who's a dire charger fan. He jumped all over me. He was like, he, you know, he loves sta he's aggressive. He's way more aggressive than other coaches we've had and he, and he's cited. He cited a statistic. They basically, I think he said he's like over, like, he's over 50% on fourth down. So he's basically, he's gotten it more than he hasn't, but I'm like fourth down, like, is it down? You've gotta be successful on more than 50%. Right? You have to, It's kind of like, you know, Chris Rock was talking about like, there's certain professions. Where you can't just say, Oh, we've got a few bad apples. And he was like, you know, would you, would you like, would you like to have an eye surgeon that's 50% successful? Right? Right. Are you, you can't, American Airlines can't say, you know 80% of our pilots land the plane, but 20% like the crashing inside of the mountain. You know, like, but like, no one's gonna fly like fourth down. You've gotta be, you've gotta be surgical, you've gotta be damn good. You've gotta be in the seven. Especially, I think's, I think's at like 54% or something like, like it's still not, like that's 44% of the time you've given the team the ball back and I would, I would guess half that time it's back in, in plus territory for them. I would like to ask your friend, I would like to ask your friend if he likes, if he likes being aggress. How would he, like an offensive COO coordinator that on every down he would throw a deep bomb and, and it's either intercepted or it's a touchdown. How, or, or, or like 80% of the time it is an incomplete pass. How would, how would he like that range of aggression? Right. And and that's a point is there's, there's a, there's a, there's a line between aggressive and stupid, right? And I think Staley crossed that line last year. Oh, with the, with the, he, he lo he lost the game to the Chiefs. That made me a lot of money. He lo he, he lost the game to the Chiefs that made me a lot of money. He also lost, he missed it's Raider fucking playoffs. He missed the fucking playoffs because of, of shenanigans. And look, the, i, I would venture to say the LA Chargers were a better team than the Cincinnati Beng. And the playoffs last year. Right now, this year's a little bit different because they had a better old line. They had a better, Right. Who, who knows what the charges could have done. If he would've made some good decisions, maybe they could have gotten, he could have po Would it be out of the realm of possibility to say that, you know what all the charges had to do, just beat the chiefs instead of, instead of the Bengals beating the chiefs? You don't think that, You don't think that that was a possibility? It definitely was. And look, I, Mike McDaniel's a rookie coach, he's learning. You know, Doug Peterson. Look, the guy, the guys won a Super Bowl. He's been in the league for a while. You know, going forward on fourth down was something that actually in Philadelphia kind of got him to the where he is. I, my point is I can't make excuses for them. I have far less for Brandon Staley because of how much he's failed. Doing the same thing over and over again. You, you made a good point. You made a good point a couple of weeks ago, Ku Rich, you said, I want to see, and it, it was brilliantly stated. You said, I want to see the analytics on the analytics. Yeah. what do the analytics say about Right, right. When you use analytics, Right. Cause they're awful. Look, it's ridiculous here. Here's the thing, Kuru. Keenan Allen stated it perfectly. Was it three weeks ago? Two weeks ago when he did wtf? Yeah. And then STA goes, We talked about it. We're much closer now. It brought us together. Get outta here. Get outta here, dude. Here's the thing. Courage. You're in a 13, 13 game in fourth quarter. That means what? It's a defensive and special teams type of a game. One, one of the game was a special team playing indoors. You're, you're playing in. There's no elements. Like, it's not like I've gotta get closer for a field goal. I like, you know, it's like gu. That was a game. You're averaging, you're averaging less than five points a quarter. Yeah. You're trying to tell me three points is not good enough. Yeah, it's, it's, it's unbelievable. It's unbelievable. He needs to go. He needs to go. And I'm telling you, Krush, his team looks at him sideways. I'm telling you this, His team looks at him sideways. Well, and we've seen this, We saw, remember with with, with Denver and Indy, we saw some bad play calling Gone four on fourth down, didn't get. and it costs'em the game. At what point do these coaches look at this and say, You know what? I don't wanna be the moron this week because I've seen enough other guys fall flat in their face. Right? Like it's, it's crazy to me. So I, I, I think it's, it's gotten even beyond analytics, trust me, like the analytics part still bothers me when we, when there's no feel for game flow and momentum. But these decisions are even like saying screw analytics. I'm just gonna do what I wanna do. I'm, I'm playing Madden in my, my grandma's basement, Right? Is what I'm doing. If the game look, if the game is 56, 56. Okay. And there's totally different three minutes left and it's fourth and short. I'm not talking for like fourth and less than a one. And your offensive line is dominating. Yeah, you go for it. But here's what I would say. Sure. In a 16 that like if I'm playing Madden, going back to Mike McDaniel, ones, if I'm playing Madden, okay. And it's 1610, meaning like both offenses haven't let the world on fire, it's the second half and I can go up two score. I'm even doing that in Madden, right? Like, so like who, who's gonna forego going up nine points in a tight game? That's one score right now. This is the problem. Even in like, so I'm, I'm, I can't even think of an excuse for that. No, this is the problem where the coach wants to be the start of the team, and I've seen it before, co. It's this is this, this guy has kind of like a Russell Wilson attitude in terms of, hey, look at. Look, look what I'm gonna do. No, I, I don't doubt. The man is brilliant. He is brilliant. And when it comes to being an offensive mind, it's no, but these game decisions. But, but, but, but the, but what I, I give him a pass because he can learn from this, right? I think Will he though? Well, we'll see. We'll see. Right? We have to see. I'm not ready to make a proclamation on McDaniel. I am ready to make a proclamation on, on on. The guy, the guys, the guy's gotta go. No, no, no. Mc No. I'm sorry. I thought you were talking about, I thought you were talking about Staley. I was talking about Mike McDaniel not going, not taking a two score lead in the second half against the Steelers last week. That's what I was talking about. No. Okay. I'm sorry. No, no, no. Mike McDaniel. He needs, he needs, he needs time, But Staley, Yeah. And outta here. And here's the thing. Sharp Staley, What was he hired for? He's a defensive. He, he parlayed being the Rams, the coordinator when they had what? Aaron? Donald. Michael Broers, Jalen Ramsey, all these, Troy Hill, all these Playmakers. He took that and do Sue. Don't forget that. Yeah. And, and the Charger's defense is awful. So if you're a defensive guy, that's your calling. And now you're head coach. Your defense is terrible despite having Kail Mack and Boa and Derwin James and as San Samuel and up until last week, JC Jackson. Right? And your defense is awful, and you're making stupid decisions that lose games or, or potentially almost cost you games. What value are you adding as a head coach? Honestly, you're not. You're value added. You're detracting from your team. The Chargers have had for the last five years. Or so they've had a situation where they have been losing because of their coaches? Yeah, because of the decisions. I mean, before God, it, it, it's like, what is it that, like they, they move, they, they, they move into that facility and all of a sudden they get stupid pills. Because remember we had my boy Anthony Lynn. Yeah. He was doing the best, but Oh, am I, Am I, am I crazy to say that Anthony Lynn? Than Brandon Staley. Am I cra I mean, I cuz I'm, I'm, I'm starting to think it right now. Here's the thing. Anthony Le Lynn got fired as an offensive coordinator for the Detroit Lions last year. I, I know, I know, I know. But, but it too far. Maybe I'm taking it too far there. Yeah. Look, look, this is, this is a situation where it's, it's just I'm dumbfounded. I am absolutely dumbfounded by how much more of a leash this guy. Who's a general manager in, in LA right now? I don't, I don't even know, Isn't it? Isn't it? I can't remember now. I can't remember whoever. It's iss with the owners, but this is, this is a situation where they need to sit down and say, Tell Tom Telaco, it's Tom Tasco. And then I, I don't know much about him. I don't know anything about him to know for a while. He's been there for a little while, but yeah. Okay. So, so then he needs to step in and say, What are you doing? Yeah, this is, this is his 10th year's gm. What are you doing? What are you doing? You got, you've built two talented roster to, to be fumbling on fourth down, and it's just, Yeah, that's not good. It's not good. I, I, I give Peterson and Mc Miguel overpass, but to me, Brandon Staley is the clear, clear. Kind of sucker in this situation. So be, this is when you, this is situation. The charters are on a bye this week. Okay. So, so we, we won't get to see him in action. But man, they, but now they, No. Look, now they, they have all those injuries on defense and now they've lost. Now they lost Mike Williams for about four to six weeks. Yeah. Am I, am I I'm en wrap it quick. And look, when I, when I call, just, just, I wanna make this note. When I picked them to win the AFC West, I literally said, If Brandon Staley does not, Give away the farm with his decisions that he makes should win the, But I was saying that's a big, if we don't know. But then, but then I also did not pick him to win the to win the AFC Championship. Yeah. Or even make it there. Yeah. So, and, and primarily, primarily because of, Well, no, actually, really the only reason was Brandon State. Well, okay. We, we, we, we've gotten into enough theory here. Let's get into the actual games. Jar a big one tonight. Ravens Buccaneers. This, this is kind of, you know, a, a put up or shut up game. Another put up in shut up game we were talking about was was Raiders. Saints, both of those teams at two wins. The Raiders at at two and four, The Saints at two and five. That's a big one, but let's talk about tonight's game, Raven's Bucks. Who's this more important for and and really what do you see happening in this one? No question about it. It's more important for Tom Brady and it's, and it's in Tampa. It's at home obviously. So they got that momentum, put their back. But they're not gonna have some guys. They, they've got, they've got several injuries on the offensive line across their defense. So, you know, not, not ideal, especially coming off a Thursday. Antoine, Winfield Russell Gage both missing actions tonight, so don't expect that. And a few, among a few others, Cameron Bright is out. Carlton Davis, the coroner's out. So they're coming into this thing banged up. No, listen it's very important. It's very important for for Tom Brady. And, and, and and honestly the, the coaching stuff because when you look at this, I, I think to myself, would Bruce Arians been able to rally troops better than, than what she got? What she got in there? Would Todd goals, and I don't wanna throw shade at Todd Bulls, but as, as long as you give'em uh, unlimited supply of scotch, I think, I think answer's probably. Oh, what could be said about having a, you know somebody captaining the ship that, that has experience and, and been there and, and, and won't necessarily get. You know, like, and he's a guy that, that, that will stand up to Grady if, you know, if need be. So it look, yeah, I think it's a must win for Tampa. It it, it's gonna be, this is, this game is gonna be based on the defense. Which defense is gonna show up. The defense that's number one against the run or the defense just got ram rotted last week by, by Carolina, because I got news for you. If, if, if the defense that was there last week shows up, they're gonna lose the game. They're gonna lose the game. They need to stop the. They do, and, and we know the Ravens, that's their calling card. So we know where, you know where they're gonna be attacking. So Guss Edwards is back and he had a phenomenal, He had a guy, he had a good game. Yeah. He's always been a guy that averages over five yards of carries. So, you know, Yeah, you're right. They're gonna attack him on the ground. It's gonna come down and can Tampa out the run and can really, I mean, no Cameron Bra or Russell Gauge, the old lines banged up. You know, the office doesn't look the. Can, can Brady get something going finally on a short week? We'll wait and see there. What about, you're talking about Char. This is a really big put Uper shut up game. Saints, Raiders. One of these teams is gonna be sitting at, at two wins when all a sudden done Raiders could go to two and five, Chance could go to two and six. This is in the Big Easys, so it's a home game for the Saints and they're coming off a tough loss last Thursday to Arizona where Annie Dalton had a, he had a, statistically had a good. He had two picks. Both got ran back from touchdown six is Buddy pick six is both running from touchdowns. You know, but in the midst of that, they're wrong with Dalton as a starter, even though JA is healthy again. They've seen enough from Dalton to say we actually like him. We feel like a better chance with Andy Dalton. So he's remaining as a starter. Interesting. And then you got you got the Raiders who they're coming off of winning against the Texans. Texans actually hung tough with them. Texans just start, are not a 60 minute team, right? Texans seem to fall apart in the last, you know, seven to 10 minutes of any football game. But big one for both teams, man. What do you make of this one? What do you see happening? Look, I. I think they, the Raiders aren't an uptake, so and, and the Raiders are a team that all four of their losses came with 14 points less than combined. Combined 14 points and four losses. Okay. They, they got very unlucky. They're, they're way better than the record, way better than the record. All right. Now, in terms of, in terms of New Orleans, New Orleans, this could have been, you know, a quarterback that's disappointed. James Winston, obviously he's nowhere near the level as the other guys that we were talking about. But what I have heard, and don't put too much, take this with a grain of salt. Again, this came from somebody that heard it, from somebody that heard it from somebody, is that Alvin Camara likes Andy Dalton better because James Winston refuses to throw the ball. Interesting. So this is like, and, and look and who, who's, who's the, who's the star of that offense. I mean, Yeah. We know it's Alvin. So, so when, when, you know, you had a situation where Alvin needs to see the ball, at least he needs to have at least six targets. Six, seven targets. Yeah. He, he deserves that. He's not a running back. He, he's, he is that scat back. He's, you know, he, he needs, he needs to he needs to get 6, 7, 8 targets. And, and I've heard that that's where he feels very comfortable is in the perimeter, catching the little, little short passes. Andy Dalton gives it to him. We've seen him do it. Speaking. Running back Shark Josh Jacobs on a three game tear, dude, 441, 441 yards and six touchdowns across his last three games. You know, he's gonna need to get going for the Raiders to win this. So so big one here. Well, no, also, so look, all three of the Raiders actually all four of the Raiders top receivers are questionable. They in Waller's, questionable Mac Hollands is questionable on a Ren for questionable devonta. Adams is questionable. So this is going to be Josh Jacobs game. It is no question about it. And also their cars questionable. So, you know, Go figure. Yeah. Yeah. Josh Jacobs the only guy with standing on two legs and an offense. Right. Sure. How about this one? I think when the schedule came out, we were very excited about it. Maybe not as much as before. Packers visiting the Buffalo Bills and Orchard Park, New York Packers coming in at three and four. I mean, they've lost three games in a ro. They were. At three and one to start the season. We know the Buffalo Bills and who they are. They're, they're five and one, but the Packers man, I mean, if you're on a three game losing streak, is there anywhere you wanna play less than at Buffalo right now, the way these guys are balling over there. And just to your context, Jar Packers, losses to the Giants, Jets and commanders. I mean, I think when you when they saw their schedule, they had to have penciled all three of those as victories going into the season. Right. I. They're coming, they're coming in at three and four on the Buffalo Bills. They're rested coming off of by, they're playing at home. I would think Aaron Rogers is gonna, is, is, is gonna give him all he is got here in his game and they're gonna get up for an opponent like this. But man, Oh man. What do you think of this game and what do you see happening ultimately? It's one of these things that I've never, I, I don't remember. Aaron Rogers losing so many games in a row, and I've been a guy in the past that when Aaron Rogers loses a game or two and plays poorly, I come and embedded heavy the next week because I'm like you. But now this is the fourth consecutive week, and by the way, this is an eight point spread. So this is, this is Sizeable in a, in a vacuum. It needed to be, it needs to be 10, 12 points, but I think the Aaron Rogers factor makes, makes it a, a, a 8.8 point spread. But, and, and honestly, I think I had heard somewhere that this skin was a double digit spread early, earlier in the week. I had heard that. I'm seeing it at eight right now. I, but, but I can see it being a 10 point and then people are just, Oh, I'm sorry. You're right, buddy. It's 11 and a half. Oh, it is? 11 and a half. Okay. So 11 and a half. Wow. So that's, that's shocking to me. I mean, going into the season, if I, I mean, if anyone told you the pack at one point, were gonna be an 11 and a half point underdog course. I might have to bet that I'm, I might, I might have to bet that because I can. Aaron Rogers saying, You know what, f this and we're doing this and we're gonna run the ball. Look, what's the best way to keep the Buffalo offense off the field? Let's to run the ball. Let's, let's, let's, let's, let's see if, if they're gonna figure this out. If they're gonna figure this out. Do you remember, do you remember the Philadelphia, About a year, Was it a year ago or two years ago with Jalen Hertz? They were, it was last year. It changed her offense and it, and it, yeah, but, but Sharp. The, the, the bills have the fourth. Run defense in the league. And actually, if you go by yards per carry, they're number one. They're San Francisco and Buffalo, both allowing just three and a half yards per carry. But Buffalo Bills also sharp. Our fourth in the league allowing just four rushing touchdowns in the season. So not, not like, okay, I just wanna run the ball. I can turn around and hand it off every down. They're gonna have to have balance. Now having said that though, having said that though, what's the weakness of their defense? Is their interior defensive line is, is is the two defensive tackles are weak. I, I don't, I don't even know what their names are. All I, all I know is that when I, when I look at their defense, their cornerbacks are a weak point. And their interior, interior defensive line is a weak point. Cause look, we know their hands are, Rau and, and Bon Miller. We know their safeties are phenomenal. Poer and well, Mike, Mike hides out for the years. Let's just poer. Okay. Well, so still, still, So I think they're in, I, I think the Packers can effectively attack the interior defensive line. And look, AJ Dillon needs to have a fricking game. AJ Dillon needs to step up and, and, and have himself a 17 carry 102 yard game. A, a back like him needs to get in the flow of a game. It hasn't happened yet. I don't know. Char, I, I. It's crumbling. Aaron Rogers is calling out. US teammates is calling out coaches, things seem awry in that building. I think Buffalo is gonna expose them. I, I, I think it's gonna be a long day at the office. I can see bills by 20 in this one. Ah, I disagree. I, I, I look Aaron Rogers is an asshole, but, but he's a great asshole in terms, he's a talented asshole. He's an extremely talented asshole, and he's a very prideful asshole. So this might be a game where his greatness is gonna jump up. You know what I'm gonna say? AJ Dillon is, is, is, is, is he needs to have 1516 carries and he's gonna have over a hundred yards. And, and the Packers make it close. I'm gonna bet, I'm gonna bet that. Okay. Fair enough. Sure. Giants Hawk. Both in, in, actually, I shouldn't say first place cause the eagles from place, but coming in into our combined record of 10 and four between these guys, Seahawks flying high off a big road Giants just keep winning six in one baby. That one loss band of the Cowboys, of course. But you know, but man, this game's in Seattle. What do you make of this? I look, I DK Metcalf's probably not gonna play. Nope. It, it, it's, it's, it's gonna be a great game. I'm gonna, I'm gonna watch it. I'm just gonna go with the 12th man because I, I, I think the combination of Russell Wilson being a douchebag and struggling has really revitalized the Seattle I think some of these stupid fourth quarter decisions that teams have made that have allowed the trends to get back into games. I don't think you'll see Pete Carroll's not gonna, I guarantee you that Pete car's gonna on, on fourth and short from, from his own 20. Pete car's gonna take a few not play defense. Right. So ab Absolutely. So yeah, it's look I'll go with Seattle because really the Giants were gifted several, several games, right? Is is that fair to say? Oh, the Yeah, but they, But, but, but they, No, no. They, they look, but they took the gift and they ran with it, right? Absolutely. Because look, the, the bro were gifted. The Broncos were gift. A win to the by the, by the Chargers and they weren't able to. So it, it, you need to have a decent enough team to be able to take advantage of it. So I'm not taking anything away from the Giants. Kudos to both teams, man. They keep one end. And look, Day Ball and Carol are both great examples of why. Coaching matters in this league. So hats off to both those men. Char the rematch, Niners Rams, both teams kind of struggling. Niners under 500 Rams, not under five cause they just had a bi week. But you know, going into the buy they beat the Panthers. So I don't know how great you feel about that, but this is a big one cuz they just play a couple weeks back in San Francisco. Got blown out. The Rams did. So now the rematch happening in la. Niners coming off, getting Molly wa by the Chiefs at home in San Francisco, so they're not on the uptick anymore. What do you make of this game and, and what do you think ultimately happens? Do you think your, your LA team gets revenge here? No. No? No. Wow. I'm surprised the, the 49ers have gotten better. Then the son that they played Christian McCaffry, that the defensive line's a little bit healthier now. Yeah. And, and, and look, I I, I'm calling a big game for Brandon IU or Deebo Samuels. I think, I think mainly I have a feeling that Brandon IU is gonna explode because so much attention is gonna be paid to Christian McCaffrey and, and, and Deebo and, and those guys. This, this is a game where kiddo is gonna be, you know and I'm not talking fantasy numbers. I'm talking about real football kid's gonna be a key for, for the success of the San Francisco office. They're getting, they're getting Trend Williams back. So if, if they don't have Trend Williams, then. La LA has a chance, but if Trent Williams is coming back and LA needs to do something about that offensive line, and if that, you know, hopefully with this by week, they've figured something out. But I'm, I, I can't bet against the Niners, I cannot bet against the Niners. That is, I hope I'm wrong. I hope I'm wrong. Fair. I. I think you're right, but part of me wants to feel like McVay's had the buy week to think about this matchup. Right? Right. They got divorce last time. Stafford's got some rest. Maybe he's been able to look at the film and, and figure out how to put that o line in less precarious situations. I don't know. They're going through some stuff with Cam Acres. He doesn't wanna be there anymore. Some odd is happening in la. I see the Rams getting it done. I, I can't explain it. I just, I think McVey gets this revenge here, but it wouldn't shock me one way or the other. Yeah. But is that offensive line still as shambles? And, And again, and, and here's the thing too, man, like, like this is a big game depending on what happens in Seattle. But if Seattle keeps winning, you know, whoever wins this game is gonna be right back in the driver's seat in the NFC West, alongside Seattle. So like this, this is a big. Yeah, I, I just really, like right now, my two favorite teams in the, in the n. Believe it or not, even though 49ers have a losing record, my favorite teams in NFC are, are, are the Eagles and and, and the 49ers. Okay. I well, well, man, the two teams I freaking despised the most as, as a cowboy fan. And that's a good segue, man, cuz let's, let's, let's talk about bears with it in the Cowboys. Not a game I thought we'd talk about, but look, bears. What an impressive. Going down, putting a SmackDown on Bill Belichick in a game where Belichick could have passed George Hallis and all time wins I thought was gonna be poetic. How poetic is it that you can pass George Hallis? In victories playing the bears, but bears are like, No, no, no, no, no, no. We're gonna, we're gonna, we're gonna kind of summon the spirit of George S and come in and kick your ass. And they did. Bears coming in, number one rushing offense in the league, 32nd passing offense in the league. So there's no secret what they're gonna try and do in this one. Char and the Cowboys. Yeah. They're coming off of winning against the lion. Okay. Yeah, sure. Dak came. He was okay. Defense played well, kind of what we expected. I'm not really, you know, that's not a victory I think to be proud of. It's a win game they're supposed to have and they got it right. Bears come into town, and I kinda like this because you cannot overlook this opponent anymore. What do you think happens in this game ultimately? Look on a tangent from that, the bears showed what the Packers need. Having their two best players on offense be their running backs and, and do that. So I, I, I, I, I think the bears are gonna run into a roadblock. I, I think the Cowboys 20. Paul's gonna have a phenomenal game this week. I i's out. Right. So I think cowboys are gonna take care of business despite well, yeah. And how much of that do you think is because of the wear, the way the bears went on Monday night? It's like, we can't overlook these guys. Right, and, and also mainly because Zeke's a little bit hurt and, and it's, they're gonna rely more on Paul and I think just Paul's that much of a better player than Zeke. Nine and a half points. Brett here. I don't know if I like it like him that much, but I agree. Cowboys should. Got his victory going in at their bi week. But yeah, bears, I mean, they're looking better in fields. Fields will take a weapon last week. I mean, you gotta give tip your A to him. He's still got some work to do with his, with his throwing, and maybe it's just gonna be part of who he is as a player, but, That offense looked really good, man. Again, it's the Bill Bellick coach defense, so, yeah. You know what, I, I think there's a higher chance of Trayvon Diggs getting a getting a touchdown than, than Moony. So I guess we'll see. I'm starting Moony in one league, man. Yeah, I know. You told me that. Which I'm not too this. It's like, Come on, come on. You're like, Why would you do that? Oh, man. So that, that, that's, that's my big, that's my big call for the week. Okay. Trayvon's got a higher problem for that sound. Trayvon Trayvon's gonna score more fantasy points than than Moony Darnell Moony. Oh God. Okay. Darnell. I think he's listening. If he's listening as he probably is. You've got your motivation there buddy. Anyways. All right, buddy. Anyways. Alright, Thank you buddy. Good chatting. Until next time, we'll be back on Monday. To recap all the action. That was, thanks for tuning again and we'll see you. Right buddy. Bye. All right, see ya.
