Your go-to place for classics.
00:00:07.280 --> 00:00:08.560
Come in poor.
00:00:08.720 --> 00:00:09.919
Walk out rich.
00:00:10.080 --> 00:00:11.679
Let's make some fucking money.
00:00:11.839 --> 00:00:17.039
Hello and welcome back to Slick William the Locksmith, the gambling show from the 4th and 32 podcast.
00:00:17.199 --> 00:00:19.600
I'm your host, Cole Smithson, the Locksmith.
00:00:19.679 --> 00:00:22.079
And joining me, it's the wettest man in podcasting.
00:00:22.320 --> 00:00:25.120
It's Slick Willy Will Einfeld.
00:00:25.280 --> 00:00:26.160
How you doing, buddy?
00:00:26.239 --> 00:00:26.719
I'm good.
00:00:26.879 --> 00:00:27.440
I'm good.
00:00:27.600 --> 00:00:32.320
Yeah, I uh I lost some money there on Monday night, but uh ready to bounce back.
00:00:32.479 --> 00:00:33.039
No, 100%.
00:00:33.280 --> 00:00:35.280
This is a big bounce back week for the podcast.
00:00:35.359 --> 00:00:38.960
I think I'm liking the lines a little bit more than I have the last couple weeks.
00:00:39.119 --> 00:00:42.799
And a lot of people out there are saying you need four weeks to figure out these teams.
00:00:43.039 --> 00:00:49.920
We're here for the Thursday night preview show, but obviously we do the uh recaps on Sunday now, so we missed Monday night.
00:00:50.079 --> 00:00:57.920
And we got to talk about this Falcons blowout win in New Orleans, 45 to 24 on the Steve Gleason 20th anniversary game.
00:00:58.159 --> 00:00:59.600
I have a couple thoughts on this.
00:00:59.759 --> 00:01:07.120
The Falcons have looked legit the last two primetime games they've played, but Bijan Robinson is one of the greatest primetime players of all time.
00:01:07.359 --> 00:01:08.319
Minimum five games.
00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:10.799
He has the most scrimmage yards per game in primetime.
00:01:10.959 --> 00:01:12.400
He goes for a buck 45 and two.
00:01:12.719 --> 00:01:14.000
We were pot committed.
00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:21.840
I texted you day of Monday night, and maybe we should have hedged, but we had the fourth and 32 parlay with just the Saints money line.
00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:24.159
Should have cashed out, should have been smarter.
00:01:24.239 --> 00:01:25.840
All the sharps were on the Falcons.
00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:30.079
I mean, the splits in bet percentage versus bet money was insane.
00:01:30.239 --> 00:01:33.760
They knew what was coming in this game, and it was just a bloodbath.
00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:38.719
Saints really struggling to run the ball this season, putting Shuck in a bad place.
00:01:38.879 --> 00:01:48.239
Uh, he didn't play terribly, but they got down so early, and their defense looked like absolute Swiss cheese, which we also saw last week with the Raiders.
00:01:48.400 --> 00:01:55.840
That Ravens game is looking a little bit more like an anomaly than it is the Saints being a legitimate team.
00:01:55.920 --> 00:01:59.840
And this was our NFC South team to make the playoffs this season, Will.
00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:04.959
And the Falcons and the Panthers look a lot better both in pronta this week.
00:02:05.120 --> 00:02:07.439
Um, so what are your thoughts on this game?
00:02:07.599 --> 00:02:09.919
I are do you still trust Shuck and the Saints?
00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:11.360
Do you have concerns?
00:02:11.520 --> 00:02:13.199
Are you wishing you picked a different team?
00:02:13.520 --> 00:02:15.599
I think this was just a tough game for the Saints.
00:02:15.759 --> 00:02:17.599
The Falcons had that extra rest.
00:02:17.759 --> 00:02:22.639
I think we should have factored that in a little bit more coming off the Thursday night from last week.
00:02:22.879 --> 00:02:26.639
Um and then their injury report is starting to rack up a good bit.
00:02:26.800 --> 00:02:30.960
They were missing a few linebackers, a couple pass rushers.
00:02:31.360 --> 00:02:39.120
And yeah, it was just it was really tough uh for them to dig themselves out of the hole when they kind of got off to a slow start.
00:02:39.360 --> 00:02:45.360
And yeah, Bijan is is almost impossible to uh contain now, especially on prime time.
00:02:45.759 --> 00:02:53.360
And yeah, I think it was just it just a little bit too much, and and Falcons played spoiler to the uh, what do they call it?
00:02:53.439 --> 00:02:55.599
The the dome coming 20th anniversary.
00:02:55.919 --> 00:02:56.960
The dome coming.
00:02:57.120 --> 00:03:03.439
Yeah, I think we should have just you had one note on the Steve Gleason thing, I thought you might want to say.
00:03:03.680 --> 00:03:04.000
Did I?
00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:04.960
I don't even know what I said.
00:03:05.199 --> 00:03:07.120
But something about what they put on his face.
00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:07.759
Yeah.
00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:15.599
They kept putting they kept putting sticky notes on his forehead, and I don't I don't know if I like it.
00:03:15.759 --> 00:03:17.039
I think it must have been okay.
00:03:17.360 --> 00:03:17.919
Fucked up.
00:03:18.240 --> 00:03:19.439
It did look fucked up.
00:03:19.520 --> 00:03:21.280
It must, they must have been okay with it.
00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:23.840
Like, like his family and everything was right there.
00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:26.800
I highly doubt that was not okayed.
00:03:27.039 --> 00:03:30.479
Yeah, I I'm sure it was, but I just it looks fucked up.
00:03:30.639 --> 00:03:32.879
That's all that's all I had.
00:03:33.199 --> 00:03:33.840
It did.
00:03:34.319 --> 00:03:34.879
It did.
00:03:35.039 --> 00:03:37.280
Uh, but we have we have to have a real conversation.
00:03:37.360 --> 00:03:40.800
Like Bichon can single-handedly take this Falcons team to the playoffs.
00:03:40.879 --> 00:03:44.879
He starts off this game with a 60-yard touchdown and he absolutely dominated.
00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:54.560
Honestly, if they weren't trying to ease his workload and gave Brian Robinson, the fantasy vulture, three touchdowns, because who's starting Brian Robinson in a fantasy league?
00:03:54.719 --> 00:03:55.439
Absolutely nobody.
00:03:55.680 --> 00:03:58.879
Those people that fucked up and picked him when they meant to pick Bijan.
00:03:59.199 --> 00:04:04.400
Dude, if you did that, you should just quit on the season because it means you're picking one, two, something like that.
00:04:04.560 --> 00:04:09.919
Uh, but yeah, Bichon could have had a five touchdown, 200-yard game if he really wanted to.
00:04:10.400 --> 00:04:16.319
And he he really, I think, might be the greatest primetime player of all time.
00:04:17.199 --> 00:04:22.000
And the league, everybody was making fun of them for putting the Falcons in three straight primetime games.
00:04:22.160 --> 00:04:26.480
Well, they know that Bichon is uh is the guy.
00:04:26.639 --> 00:04:32.879
I mean, I just think of uh with that Rams game last year where they beat a Rams team trying to uh make the number one seed.
00:04:33.040 --> 00:04:34.800
I think I watched that in an airport.
00:04:35.120 --> 00:04:36.319
Was that around the holidays?
00:04:36.560 --> 00:04:37.360
Must have been.
00:04:37.680 --> 00:04:38.639
Yeah, something like that.
00:04:38.879 --> 00:04:41.600
I think my flight got delayed, and I watched the whole thing in the airport.
00:04:41.759 --> 00:04:48.160
Um, but yeah, I I mean this Kevin Stevansky team was never gonna work with a Cooper Rush.
00:04:48.319 --> 00:04:50.560
I think people underrated them a bit too much.
00:04:50.639 --> 00:04:52.879
I'm not even the biggest fan of Penix.
00:04:53.040 --> 00:04:54.959
He had the one nice throw to Dotson.
00:04:55.040 --> 00:05:01.519
Uh Drake London is a massive target, and he gets so open for like how slow he is.
00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:04.160
So, and and they have a great relationship.
00:05:04.319 --> 00:05:12.319
So there's some good stuff from Penix, but I think he's he very similarly to the Raiders is just getting scheme wins, if you will.
00:05:12.560 --> 00:05:17.839
And Stefanski's making it very easy for Penix because he still misses some throws sometimes.
00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:20.319
So I'm like, especially betting against them.
00:05:20.480 --> 00:05:23.040
That's what I'm rooting for uh in that moment.
00:05:23.120 --> 00:05:25.920
But yeah, Saints just came alive way too late.
00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:36.000
They're not gonna be able to come back in the second half when they're down 24 to 7 or 31 to 7, whatever it ended up being uh at the worst of it.
00:05:36.160 --> 00:05:40.800
Uh, Falcons, do we think going forward, like, is this team, is this team for real?
00:05:40.959 --> 00:05:42.160
Is this team a threat?
00:05:42.399 --> 00:05:45.279
I've always been a little bit more in on Pen X than you have.
00:05:45.519 --> 00:05:55.199
And it's not like I know he was supposed to kind of be more of a a gunslinger type, and I think he's kind of molded into more of like a system guy.
00:05:55.439 --> 00:06:06.079
It's kind of what the Panthers are doing with Bryce Young, where they're just they're making sure that the the scheme benefits him and he's able to get throws out quick and he's just accurate enough.
00:06:06.240 --> 00:06:17.439
And yeah, no, I I think with all these weapons, I think um with who's gonna return to on the Falcons defense, because that's kind of what I was giving big knocks to, is they have no pass rush.
00:06:17.519 --> 00:06:21.360
They have barely a secondary, but they're able to kind of get things done.
00:06:21.439 --> 00:06:25.680
And and when they have some of these guys return to, it's it's only gonna help them.
00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:29.360
And I I think Atlanta is is a legitimate team.
00:06:29.519 --> 00:06:33.439
I mean, it is the NFC South, so they're gonna have a chance at the end of the year.
00:06:33.600 --> 00:06:34.560
No, that's super true.
00:06:34.639 --> 00:06:37.360
And they play the Panthers in week 18.
00:06:37.519 --> 00:06:42.160
Well, actually, they end their season with Tampa Bay, New Orleans, and the Panthers.
00:06:42.480 --> 00:06:43.120
Oh, wow.
00:06:43.279 --> 00:06:44.399
That's kind of crazy.
00:06:44.560 --> 00:06:47.439
I mean, they always uh do the NFC South like that.
00:06:47.519 --> 00:06:50.720
So uh that this division's gonna be alive to the last week.
00:06:50.800 --> 00:06:51.439
It always is.
00:06:51.600 --> 00:06:55.600
And the Bucs, even at 0-4, and as pathetic as they've looked, they're still alive.
00:06:55.680 --> 00:06:57.120
They're only two games back.
00:06:57.680 --> 00:07:00.000
With what, 13 games to go?
00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:09.360
Uh, but yeah, the Falcons have scored uh 96 points this season, 70 in, sorry, 80 in the last two games.
00:07:09.600 --> 00:07:20.480
80 to uh 38 on primetime, and they have the Ravens on Sunday night football this upcoming week, uh, with maybe Lamar Jackson, probably not.
00:07:20.639 --> 00:07:24.399
We'll talk about that in a second, but this looks like a totally different team.
00:07:24.480 --> 00:07:28.560
And they have so much firepower, like all these top picks, it's finally coming together.
00:07:28.720 --> 00:07:30.879
I've always thought Stefanski was a good coach.
00:07:30.959 --> 00:07:39.839
I thought he was in hell with the quarterback situation, but it's a joke that this was ever a competition between Tua and Penix, because there's no way Tua was gonna play like this.
00:07:40.000 --> 00:07:40.319
No.
00:07:40.480 --> 00:07:51.360
And I think it's perfect that they didn't try to rush him back either in those first two games and risk him being out for the season because they desperately need somebody back there who can who can make these passes.
00:07:51.600 --> 00:07:52.160
No, 100%.
00:07:52.560 --> 00:07:55.360
And I think what you said about the system is perfect.
00:07:55.600 --> 00:08:00.399
Like, if you have a ground game, it's gonna help out any quarterback, obviously.
00:08:00.480 --> 00:08:09.279
But when you can have 33 runs for 207 yards and five touchdowns between the running backs, I mean, sky's the limit.
00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:16.240
He only threw 20 passes for 223 yards, uh, which is a good day, but not some insane uh stat line.
00:08:16.399 --> 00:08:22.240
And they they absolutely throttled the Saints, very similar to how they throttled the Packers last week.
00:08:22.319 --> 00:08:26.639
And yeah, they have all these injuries, but their defense is played well.
00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:40.639
Maybe that's more of an indictment on the uh on the Saints and the Packers, but yeah, 18 to 25, 256, one touchdown, one pick against the Packers, and that pick was a fucking was a uh mystery flavored lollipop.
00:08:40.720 --> 00:08:40.799
Yeah.
00:08:41.120 --> 00:08:45.919
I don't think the Saints are as much of a pushover as they were in this game.
00:08:46.159 --> 00:08:48.159
No, I think this was just a bad matchup.
00:08:48.399 --> 00:08:48.720
I agree.
00:08:48.799 --> 00:08:51.759
I thought they did really well against my Raiders two weeks ago.
00:08:51.919 --> 00:08:55.840
I just everything kind of went the wrong way.
00:08:56.720 --> 00:08:58.639
And they can't stop the run.
00:08:58.799 --> 00:08:59.759
That's a real problem.
00:09:00.000 --> 00:09:09.759
Kind of shows how bad at running the ball the Raiders have been early on and how bad the interior offensive line has been because they couldn't stop Derek Henry, they couldn't stop Jameer Gibbs, they they couldn't stop B.
00:09:09.840 --> 00:09:10.480
John Robinson.
00:09:10.559 --> 00:09:13.440
I mean, these are the maybe the three best backs in the league, too.
00:09:13.519 --> 00:09:18.080
But if you could block, if you can get the ground game going, I think anyone can do this to the Saints right now.
00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:22.639
And like they have injuries piling up, like it's uh it's a disaster there.
00:09:22.799 --> 00:09:24.480
But uh any more thoughts on that?
00:09:24.639 --> 00:09:27.039
A tough, tough way to end the gambling weekend.
00:09:27.200 --> 00:09:28.720
Yeah, yeah, it was tough.
00:09:28.960 --> 00:09:44.799
Next time we hedge and we cash out of the fourth and 32, we make that the advice because all the numbers were just lining up Falcons, and it's if it were any other time or bet or anything, I absolutely would have flipped.
00:09:44.879 --> 00:09:45.120
Yeah.
00:09:45.279 --> 00:09:46.559
So that's that's on us.
00:09:46.799 --> 00:09:47.919
We gotta be better about that.
00:09:48.000 --> 00:09:53.759
And that's how we that's how we get these wins in difficult spots as a gambling show.
00:09:53.919 --> 00:09:56.639
So that's that's from us to you, listeners.
00:09:56.720 --> 00:09:58.080
Uh, we'll be better next time.
00:09:58.159 --> 00:10:00.159
And yeah, keep keep riding with us.
00:10:00.320 --> 00:10:00.559
Yeah.
00:10:00.720 --> 00:10:01.519
Yeah, we'll be better.
00:10:01.679 --> 00:10:01.840
Yeah.
00:10:02.000 --> 00:10:02.559
Hand up.
00:10:02.720 --> 00:10:03.200
Hand up.
00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:03.840
Hand up.
00:10:03.919 --> 00:10:09.679
Hey, that's sometimes you gotta sometimes you gotta look in the mirror and and and be like, that's not us.
00:10:09.919 --> 00:10:17.440
So I mean, losing money on bovada is absolutely me, but um, I make some money sometimes.
00:10:17.600 --> 00:10:18.080
All right.
00:10:18.320 --> 00:10:27.600
We gotta talk about some news before we dive into this exciting Thursday night football game between Jalen Daniels and the Buccaneers and Dak Prescott and the Cowboys.
00:10:27.759 --> 00:10:31.600
Uh, dude, that line is too small for me at the seven and a half.
00:10:31.679 --> 00:10:32.799
I'm just gonna say it.
00:10:33.039 --> 00:10:34.639
It's it's way too small.
00:10:34.799 --> 00:10:35.600
It's in Dallas.
00:10:35.759 --> 00:10:37.759
Why isn't it a 11-point line?
00:10:38.000 --> 00:10:38.320
Scary.
00:10:38.799 --> 00:10:40.159
Eight and a half on fan tool.
00:10:40.399 --> 00:10:43.679
Yeah, it's seven and a half in Bovada, which means people are betting it the other way.
00:10:43.840 --> 00:10:47.120
I've I've we'll we'll talk about the news and we'll get to that.
00:10:47.279 --> 00:10:52.559
Uh, the biggest news item is there's a couple big ones.
00:10:52.639 --> 00:10:54.000
Let's do the ref one.
00:10:54.080 --> 00:11:06.000
The the NFL has suspended two officials, one for two games and one for one game, for getting into players' faces for one guy, and then the fuck you, fuck you to Trey McBride that we all saw.
00:11:06.159 --> 00:11:09.200
And the NFL's had a real officiating problem so far this season.
00:11:09.279 --> 00:11:13.120
I'm glad they stepped in because like these guys are supposed to be impartial.
00:11:13.200 --> 00:11:14.639
That uh you can't do it.
00:11:14.799 --> 00:11:22.480
Even though they do get yelled, fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, uh, by all the players every game, it's just kind of their job to take it, I honestly.
00:11:23.120 --> 00:11:30.799
Um, I I think if he just let off like a one, like eh, fuck you, man, like and walked away and wasn't like pointing at him and being angry.
00:11:30.960 --> 00:11:32.639
I think he should have gotten away with it.
00:11:32.720 --> 00:11:38.159
It's just you can't get that emotional because it does hurt your impartiality, even if you try to not let it.
00:11:38.320 --> 00:11:40.159
Like that's just how we are as human beings.
00:11:40.320 --> 00:11:51.919
But anyway, the NFL, I believe the stats are seven um penalties per game per offense, like an average across the league.
00:11:52.080 --> 00:11:53.840
That there's so many touchdowns called back.
00:11:53.919 --> 00:12:04.480
I think everybody gambling or fantasy, everybody's noticing that where they uh they're holding their breath if there's a big play that's gonna get called back, and it gets called back a lot.
00:12:04.639 --> 00:12:22.879
And I think there's a real problem in NFL's hands, and I wouldn't be shocked as betters if we have a lot more scoring, at least in this next couple weeks, because everybody's talking about the officiating because of the suspensions, because of look at the the Seahawks Chargers game, absolutely insane amount of penalties.
00:12:22.960 --> 00:12:25.759
Your Jags Bengals game, insane amount of penalties.
00:12:25.919 --> 00:12:32.320
And the league says it investigates when penalties uh affect the outcome of the spread, which you could watch.
00:12:32.480 --> 00:12:42.639
I watched a whole breakdown on how the Chargers wouldn't have pushed, and 90% of the money was on the Seahawks, and they wouldn't have pushed if it wasn't for a couple uh questionable roughing the passer calls.
00:12:42.720 --> 00:12:44.320
So I think the league has a problem on its hands.
00:12:44.399 --> 00:12:45.840
And what do you think about this wall?
00:12:46.000 --> 00:12:48.480
Yeah, no, I I think it's good to suspend these guys.
00:12:48.639 --> 00:12:52.240
Um, yeah, the the Trey McBride, that guy, you you just can't do that.
00:12:52.320 --> 00:12:54.080
He can't be screaming, fuck you.
00:12:54.320 --> 00:12:57.519
And they caught it all on camera, right in front of you.
00:12:57.759 --> 00:12:59.279
Do better, be better.
00:12:59.440 --> 00:13:02.720
Um, the other guy, he I don't know if you watched that play back.
00:13:02.799 --> 00:13:04.480
It's the Eric Wilson.
00:13:04.639 --> 00:13:06.559
Um he runs into him.
00:13:06.720 --> 00:13:16.799
He ran up to try to get in the middle of whatever happened, and Eric Wilson didn't didn't really see him and kind of ran him over and then immediately was like trying to pick him up and was apologizing.
00:13:16.960 --> 00:13:19.200
And that guy just kind of went off too.
00:13:19.440 --> 00:13:20.559
Um, I think it's good.
00:13:20.720 --> 00:13:31.360
I I saw both those guys are appealing it, but I think it's good that the NFL is cracking down on this because this last week was one of the most penalty we heavy weeks that I've seen in a really, really long time.
00:13:31.519 --> 00:13:32.879
And it slowed down the game.
00:13:33.039 --> 00:13:45.039
I mean, it that Jags Bengals game was ugly for a good bit of it when two of those teams, it should have been, it should have been high flying, lots of passing, lots of touchdowns, and a whole lot of fun.
00:13:45.120 --> 00:13:48.080
And yeah, it was not quite that in that game.
00:13:48.240 --> 00:14:01.039
So I'm excited that they're actually gonna crack down on this because we've always talked about how the refs have had their hands in too many of these games, and just feels like it's a whole lot of these refs trying to play hero ball.
00:14:01.120 --> 00:14:02.960
They're trying to make it all about themselves.
00:14:03.039 --> 00:14:06.720
And I I think that it's a very difficult job.
00:14:06.879 --> 00:14:12.559
And I think the league has an issue where they had they almost had the replacement refs again, right?
00:14:12.799 --> 00:14:14.240
Mm-hmm in the offseason.
00:14:14.320 --> 00:14:17.200
They had to renegotiate their collective bargaining agreement.
00:14:17.279 --> 00:14:27.759
So the refs kind of have the league over Rivera because they say if you go back to the replacement refs or you don't have guys that are actually trained to be NFL refs, look how bad it was last time.
00:14:27.840 --> 00:14:28.960
It's gonna be that bad again.
00:14:29.120 --> 00:14:38.559
But I think while that may be true, the incentive of the league should be to train refs to properly dictate the pace of the game.
00:14:38.720 --> 00:14:42.159
Yes, obvious penalties should be called, pass interference holds, whatever.
00:14:42.240 --> 00:14:45.279
But if your call, there's a hold on every NFL play.
00:14:45.840 --> 00:14:48.559
Let's let's just be honest about football as football fans.
00:14:48.720 --> 00:14:51.120
There is an offensive hold on every single play.
00:14:51.279 --> 00:15:02.399
When there's an 80-yard touchdown and it's not an egregious hold, you have to have the ability, whether it's the eye in the sky, whether it's the reps on the field, to change that call.
00:15:02.559 --> 00:15:03.919
Are fans gonna like it?
00:15:04.080 --> 00:15:04.320
No.
00:15:04.480 --> 00:15:17.600
But I think over the, especially in the beginning, but I think over the course of the long run in history, people will enjoy that there is more scoring, better football, and plays aren't called back so much.
00:15:17.759 --> 00:15:23.519
Like I don't want to see a hold or a uh roughing the passer or anything anymore.
00:15:23.600 --> 00:15:24.879
I don't like talking about the refs.
00:15:25.120 --> 00:15:26.000
I like talking about football.
00:15:26.080 --> 00:15:27.279
I like watching football.
00:15:27.519 --> 00:15:32.000
I hate all the videos that it's but when it's a problem, it's a real problem, you know?
00:15:32.080 --> 00:15:36.159
So I just want the league to take care of this so we never have to talk about it again.
00:15:36.320 --> 00:15:41.519
Think about the NBA and the uh the way it's refereed in the playoffs.
00:15:41.679 --> 00:15:45.120
The NFL kind of does that too, where they let the boys play a little bit more.
00:15:45.200 --> 00:15:50.080
I think you just gotta make it the regular season because it's not an 82-game NBA season.
00:15:50.240 --> 00:15:55.600
Every one of these games is vitally important to a team success, to a fan base's experience.
00:15:55.679 --> 00:15:56.960
There's only 17 of them.
00:15:57.120 --> 00:16:00.399
So I think it's on the league to let the boys play.
00:16:00.559 --> 00:16:06.240
And if a ref wants to make it all about himself, then he's gotta go.
00:16:06.399 --> 00:16:10.720
And you have to have the infrastructure in place to be able to replace him immediately.
00:16:10.960 --> 00:16:15.519
My biggest thing too is I hate when they phone it in to is it Gene Cerator?
00:16:16.159 --> 00:16:20.159
They phone it into New York and he's like, that's absolutely the wrong call.
00:16:20.320 --> 00:16:23.840
And he's just like, no, or or that should have been a penalty.
00:16:24.159 --> 00:16:34.080
And when he's saying that and everybody's listening, and then we don't get a change of call or we don't get anything, it's just that just ruins the experience for me.
00:16:34.320 --> 00:16:37.200
I I I'm not a big fan of the Gene Starator thing.
00:16:37.279 --> 00:16:42.240
I don't really know why they do it, and they kind of have to do it because they pay him so much money to be on the broadcast.
00:16:42.320 --> 00:16:48.480
So, like you I've seen it be forced to where like it's an obvious penalty, and they're like, What do you think about this gene?
00:16:48.639 --> 00:16:54.799
And like it, and it there's like a couple of them because there's the one college guy, I think one of them does both college and the NFL.
00:16:54.879 --> 00:16:59.519
There's like the different networks or whatever, but I just want the refs out of my football.
00:16:59.679 --> 00:17:04.160
I want football and not officials uh dictating the pace of games.
00:17:04.319 --> 00:17:08.000
But this is the most penalties we've had in the first four weeks since 2003.
00:17:08.160 --> 00:17:11.039
So this is something that that the league can fix.
00:17:11.119 --> 00:17:18.319
And you have to have academies, you have to, dude, this is billions and billions and billions of dollars worth of gambling, worth of fantasy football.
00:17:18.480 --> 00:17:20.079
The league makes, right?
00:17:20.400 --> 00:17:34.240
You have to have the ability to have ref schools and refs trained and put them in, I don't know, put them in uh college football or high school football, see how they how they perform, watch them like hawks.
00:17:34.319 --> 00:17:39.440
There, there has to be enough infrastructure because it has to matter to the league because the product suffers.
00:17:39.599 --> 00:17:45.440
The league also does unfortunately make some bets that that uh nobody's gonna stop watching anyway.
00:17:45.519 --> 00:17:46.480
So what does it matter?
00:17:46.640 --> 00:17:49.839
And that's that's my only concern here because I'm not gonna stop.
00:17:49.920 --> 00:17:50.960
Are you gonna stop watching?
00:17:51.119 --> 00:17:51.680
Hell no.
00:17:51.920 --> 00:17:52.559
Yeah, exactly.
00:17:52.640 --> 00:17:54.400
So they they got us by the balls.
00:17:54.480 --> 00:17:55.119
I'm gonna be honest.
00:17:55.200 --> 00:17:56.799
I mean, we do a fucking podcast, right?
00:17:56.880 --> 00:18:00.079
Like we're we're as deep in it as we could be.
00:18:00.880 --> 00:18:03.680
Um but I hope the league makes the correct decision.
00:18:03.839 --> 00:18:04.880
Yeah, damn me too.
00:18:05.200 --> 00:18:12.000
As always, uh the the NFL should always come to the fourth and 32 podcasts like William the Locksmith for all the answers.
00:18:12.720 --> 00:18:16.960
Put us as football czars, and what do they make?
00:18:17.119 --> 00:18:18.400
$10 billion a year now?
00:18:18.559 --> 00:18:20.720
They'd make 40, 50.
00:18:21.519 --> 00:18:28.079
Did you see uh one thing they changed is no more uh pretending like you're chugging a beer is a penalty.
00:18:28.240 --> 00:18:31.519
So we're gonna get a thousand of those celebrations this weekend.
00:18:31.759 --> 00:18:31.920
Yeah.
00:18:32.000 --> 00:18:33.440
Yeah, they walked back those fines.
00:18:33.519 --> 00:18:36.480
I think UsCek had one, and he was like, it's clearly Juice.
00:18:36.799 --> 00:18:38.799
Like I'm that's my nickname.
00:18:38.880 --> 00:18:39.759
My nickname is Juice.
00:18:39.920 --> 00:18:41.119
Yeah, I was chugging juice.
00:18:41.359 --> 00:18:43.279
And then um, was it Ferguson?
00:18:43.359 --> 00:18:50.319
I think Jake Ferguson for the Cowboys had one too that they yeah, they walked back and yeah, no more fines for drinking beer.
00:18:50.480 --> 00:18:52.960
It's one of their biggest sponsors, too, Bud Light.
00:18:53.200 --> 00:18:56.640
So yeah, I I don't know, I don't know why it was a penalty in the first place.
00:18:56.960 --> 00:19:01.440
Also, like, oh, the kids, like uh a kid doesn't know what the fuck that is.
00:19:01.680 --> 00:19:05.519
If they do, they have shitty parents and they probably have worse problems.
00:19:07.920 --> 00:19:09.039
Uh what else?
00:19:09.200 --> 00:19:09.599
What else?
00:19:09.680 --> 00:19:11.039
There was one other thing.
00:19:11.359 --> 00:19:13.759
More sportsmanship rules.
00:19:14.000 --> 00:19:14.799
I saw that.
00:19:14.960 --> 00:19:16.240
I didn't know what that meant.
00:19:16.400 --> 00:19:19.440
Let me more sportsmanship.
00:19:19.680 --> 00:19:21.759
Uh any other thoughts before we move on?
00:19:21.920 --> 00:19:22.960
Uh not really.
00:19:23.119 --> 00:19:23.440
No.
00:19:23.599 --> 00:19:29.920
Uh reportedly to continue strict enforcement of sportsmanship-related rules.
00:19:30.000 --> 00:19:32.559
So that I I guess that's gonna be the ref stuff.
00:19:32.720 --> 00:19:34.079
I guess that's gonna be taunting.
00:19:34.240 --> 00:19:43.119
There was a Raiders player because I remember texting my dad about it uh during that Raiders Chiefs game, right at the end of the game, where he he touched a ref.
00:19:43.440 --> 00:19:45.759
And like, not like, oh, he put his hand on his shoulder.
00:19:45.839 --> 00:19:48.960
Like he he kind of like gave him a sh a little shove.
00:19:49.119 --> 00:19:51.440
He touched him pretty aggressively and they didn't call it.
00:19:51.519 --> 00:19:53.039
And I'm sure the league saw that.
00:19:53.119 --> 00:19:54.720
I'm I'm gonna be shocked if he's fine.
00:19:54.880 --> 00:19:56.880
I cannot, for the life of me, remember who it was right now.
00:19:56.960 --> 00:19:58.079
Maybe Quay Walker.
00:19:58.160 --> 00:20:02.559
He's kind of a hothead sometimes, but anyway, so they're gonna continue to enforce that.
00:20:02.640 --> 00:20:04.559
All right, let's go through the rest of this.
00:20:04.720 --> 00:20:06.799
Uh, NFL make the right decision.
00:20:06.960 --> 00:20:10.240
Uh, Mike McDaniel, his job is not in jeopardy.
00:20:10.480 --> 00:20:11.119
Thoughts about that?
00:20:11.279 --> 00:20:12.240
It was a quick one.
00:20:14.319 --> 00:20:16.480
It's not him that they're worried about.
00:20:16.559 --> 00:20:18.000
They're gonna get rid of Harbaugh.
00:20:18.079 --> 00:20:19.200
They're gonna make him the interim.
00:20:19.279 --> 00:20:20.640
That's why his job's not in jeopardy.
00:20:20.720 --> 00:20:20.880
Yeah.
00:20:21.039 --> 00:20:23.759
They need somebody that knows how to be a head coach.
00:20:24.160 --> 00:20:27.359
Yeah, that's uh I I still think McDaniel's good.
00:20:27.440 --> 00:20:40.559
I don't know what is happening in Charger Land right now, but I saw another stat where Herbert's had the uh easiest quarterback schedule as far as defenses through four games, and he has the hardest five through 17.
00:20:40.720 --> 00:20:41.119
Oof.
00:20:41.279 --> 00:20:48.799
Well, but I don't know how that was broken down because he did play the the Seahawks, and I guess the Bills is pretty easy.
00:20:48.880 --> 00:20:50.000
Who else the Chargers play?
00:20:50.240 --> 00:20:51.920
Cardinals and Raiders.
00:20:52.079 --> 00:20:53.680
So yeah, that makes sense, actually.
00:20:53.920 --> 00:20:55.440
Like the Seahawks is fucking brutal.
00:20:56.240 --> 00:20:57.759
But yeah, Seahawks are awesome.
00:20:58.000 --> 00:21:03.119
Yeah, but that I think statistically they're probably not up there because of what the commanders did to them.
00:21:03.279 --> 00:21:03.680
That's right.
00:21:03.759 --> 00:21:07.440
And it's such a it's such a small sample size, you know?
00:21:08.079 --> 00:21:11.119
Uh, so that that's something to definitely monitor.
00:21:11.519 --> 00:21:12.799
All right, the Eagles.
00:21:12.880 --> 00:21:24.160
We have big offensive line stuff, and it goes from bad to worse in Philly because Lane Johnson, who is a Hall of Fame right tackle, one of the best of his generation, one of the best right tackles of all time.
00:21:24.319 --> 00:21:34.400
Ask any Eagles fan their record with Lane Johnson on the field, uh, when he's playing versus when he's been injured or off the field, it's it's night and day.
00:21:34.799 --> 00:21:35.200
Yeah.
00:21:35.759 --> 00:21:37.039
Time to wake up.
00:21:37.279 --> 00:21:41.440
Uh, but he retires after four weeks.
00:21:41.599 --> 00:21:45.680
He just, the line's been bad this year and he just doesn't have it anymore.
00:21:45.839 --> 00:21:48.319
I do want to say one thing before I toss it to you.
00:21:48.480 --> 00:21:56.799
I saw ESPN and those fucking vultures talking about how he wasn't a man, essentially, what they're implying because he retired during the season.
00:21:57.039 --> 00:22:07.119
All these fucking guys that don't play offensive line and The NFL for 14 years like and realize what that does to your body and he couldn't do it anymore.
00:22:07.279 --> 00:22:11.119
It's better for the team that he walks away when he can't do it anymore.
00:22:11.279 --> 00:22:14.960
I don't want to call him washed, but like, yeah, he he just didn't have it.
00:22:15.119 --> 00:22:16.640
He's been hurt so many times.
00:22:16.799 --> 00:22:29.920
And for guys to go on TV in their fucking air conditioned studio and act like he's not a fucking man, I thought that was absolute embarrassing, ridiculous bullshit and why people shit on ESPN all the time.
00:22:30.079 --> 00:22:30.319
Yeah.
00:22:30.400 --> 00:22:33.440
No, he's one of the best to ever do it at his position.
00:22:33.680 --> 00:22:35.680
And the Eagles are going to be missing him.
00:22:35.839 --> 00:22:37.759
But I think it was a good decision for him.
00:22:37.920 --> 00:22:41.680
Because I don't even think he played in last week's game because of injury.
00:22:41.759 --> 00:22:44.480
And yeah, they would be traveling to London this week.
00:22:44.640 --> 00:22:47.440
I think he just decided, hey, I'm not helping this team.
00:22:47.519 --> 00:22:51.920
I mean, it's almost what my my buddy Landon Dickerson on the left side of their line did.
00:22:52.000 --> 00:22:53.119
He's their left guard.
00:22:53.279 --> 00:22:55.039
He tried to play through week one.
00:22:55.119 --> 00:22:56.799
He's a he's a tough player.
00:22:56.960 --> 00:23:02.720
Um, but he was like, hey, I am not physically able to hold up and I'm a detriment to this team.
00:23:02.799 --> 00:23:06.880
And I think it's kind of the same lane, lane that Lane was in.
00:23:07.119 --> 00:23:07.440
Yeah.
00:23:07.599 --> 00:23:08.480
So yeah.
00:23:08.799 --> 00:23:11.200
Dude, it and he's 36.
00:23:11.359 --> 00:23:13.279
He's a two-time Super Bowl champion.
00:23:13.440 --> 00:23:19.279
Like you said, one of the best to ever do it, one of the most athletic right tackles you've ever seen in his prime.
00:23:20.000 --> 00:23:26.640
And I think what they were shitting on was a statement that said, I've realized my personal and family priorities in my life have changed.
00:23:26.720 --> 00:23:29.920
Right now it's my it is critical that I focus on my mental health.
00:23:30.000 --> 00:23:31.200
And they they were shitting on that.
00:23:31.359 --> 00:23:32.799
Oh, you want to take a mental health break?
00:23:32.960 --> 00:23:37.200
No, this guy is playing through probably copious amounts of pain.
00:23:37.920 --> 00:23:39.920
It that hurts your mental health.
00:23:40.079 --> 00:23:41.920
It's not just physically painful.
00:23:42.079 --> 00:23:43.839
He knows he doesn't have it anymore.
00:23:44.000 --> 00:23:45.599
It's probably very difficult.
00:23:45.759 --> 00:23:49.680
And if he's got kids, I assume he has kids, the way he he's talking.
00:23:49.920 --> 00:23:51.839
I think he just got married this offseason.
00:23:52.000 --> 00:23:52.319
Let's see.
00:23:52.400 --> 00:23:53.680
Elaine John said kids.
00:23:53.759 --> 00:23:59.599
But regardless, like, yeah, that's what he wants to do is is is have kids probably and run around with them.
00:24:00.240 --> 00:24:10.880
And and anyone to question an offensive lineman in the NFL for over a decade's toughness in any any way is just for me, it's just a bridge too far.
00:24:10.960 --> 00:24:16.000
Like we we come on here and we shit on people and we say, oh, they're bad, they're they're this, they're that.
00:24:16.160 --> 00:24:19.440
We don't think any of these guys are soft, like at all.
00:24:19.599 --> 00:24:20.319
And look at us.
00:24:20.400 --> 00:24:22.240
Like, I have a fucking elephant behind me.
00:24:22.400 --> 00:24:24.240
We'll sitting in a nice gaming chair.
00:24:24.319 --> 00:24:26.000
Like we're we're fucking soft.
00:24:26.480 --> 00:24:27.839
Anyway, more thoughts on that?
00:24:28.079 --> 00:24:34.480
They go against the the biggest, meanest, toughest guys in the world each and every week.
00:24:34.640 --> 00:24:41.680
Six foot five behemoths that just get to pin their ears back and try to wreck shop and hurt the guys that are behind them.
00:24:42.000 --> 00:24:42.400
Yeah.
00:24:42.799 --> 00:24:44.799
He has three kids with an ex-wife.
00:24:44.880 --> 00:24:47.279
So he may have gotten married this offseason.
00:24:47.759 --> 00:24:49.200
Um, but he does have three kids.
00:24:49.279 --> 00:24:51.279
He has three fucking kids to spend time with.
00:24:51.440 --> 00:24:53.039
He's got all more money than God.
00:24:53.119 --> 00:24:55.599
Like, yeah, he's not helping the team.
00:24:55.759 --> 00:24:57.200
He's a two-time Super Bowl champion.
00:24:57.279 --> 00:25:00.559
I don't think any Philly fan is upset at Lane Johnson.
00:25:00.720 --> 00:25:02.480
That's how you know it's fucking ridiculous.
00:25:02.720 --> 00:25:07.519
They're upset at the OC and Hertz and everything else.
00:25:07.920 --> 00:25:09.359
I grew up in the Philly area.
00:25:09.519 --> 00:25:12.160
All I saw was Lane Johnson, thank you.
00:25:12.319 --> 00:25:13.759
Lane Johnson, we're gonna miss you.
00:25:13.839 --> 00:25:18.400
I get it, but this is going from bad to worse, you know, as far as the season goes.
00:25:18.559 --> 00:25:19.839
But nobody was mad at him.
00:25:20.480 --> 00:25:32.240
But uh more on the offensive line, Cam Jergens, their uh center, traded to the Ravens, and the Ravens have had some center injuries of this season for a 28 second rounder and a 27 fifth rounder.
00:25:32.400 --> 00:25:36.400
Pretty good haul for Cam Jergens, but this offensive line is already struggling.
00:25:36.480 --> 00:25:39.039
Now you lose your center and your right tackle.
00:25:39.200 --> 00:25:46.640
Big pickup for the Ravens, especially as they try to uh string together a couple good games without Lamar Jackson potentially.
00:25:46.960 --> 00:25:54.400
But yeah, uh this is this is not good for the Eagles rest of the season, and they can't control the Lane Johnson thing.
00:25:54.480 --> 00:25:56.960
But do you think this is the Eagles waving the white flag?
00:25:57.119 --> 00:25:58.559
I think Howie's reloading.
00:25:58.720 --> 00:25:59.359
Yeah, I do.
00:25:59.519 --> 00:26:05.680
I saw something they've they've acquired where they have like 16 picks over the next two seasons.
00:26:05.920 --> 00:26:09.759
Um in 2028, they have two first and two second rounders.
00:26:10.000 --> 00:26:15.279
It's gotta use that to move up in this year's draft, which might be a little bit more talented.
00:26:15.519 --> 00:26:25.920
And yeah, no, I I just think that they're ready to kind of just reload and and see what plays out with this season because they're not getting healthy quickly.
00:26:26.160 --> 00:26:28.079
So Saquon going down too.
00:26:28.160 --> 00:26:35.599
Like I think they're just gonna try to coast this season and reload for next and possibly even 2028.
00:26:35.759 --> 00:26:36.000
Yeah.
00:26:36.160 --> 00:26:37.440
You said 16 picks.
00:26:37.519 --> 00:26:38.960
I was like, that doesn't sound like a lot.
00:26:39.039 --> 00:26:43.279
And Howie's really good at getting uh the uh what are they fucking called?
00:26:43.440 --> 00:26:48.799
Not the conditional picks, the uh the extra picks they get for players leaving in free agency.
00:26:49.039 --> 00:26:50.319
It's not conditional?
00:26:50.640 --> 00:26:51.359
No, no.
00:26:51.440 --> 00:26:53.440
What is that's like when they trade them?
00:26:53.599 --> 00:27:00.960
Um NFL picks where you get them because a player leaves.
00:27:03.599 --> 00:27:06.400
I know compensatory compensatory.
00:27:06.720 --> 00:27:07.200
Yeah, of course.
00:27:07.839 --> 00:27:08.240
All right.
00:27:08.319 --> 00:27:11.200
Uh, but they'll get some compensatory picks because they always do.
00:27:11.279 --> 00:27:18.160
And then yeah, the two firsts and two seconds in in uh 2028 from the AJ Brown trade, now the Cam Jergens trade.
00:27:18.240 --> 00:27:28.000
Like I think that Howie, who's a an evil genius, have you ever seen um the Dark Howie re- uh the guy does reels, TikToks, and he does like a dark Howie bit?
00:27:28.160 --> 00:27:28.480
No.
00:27:28.640 --> 00:27:38.640
Whenever the Eagles make a trade and it's like a a normal GM talking, and it's like dark Howie is like talking like Darth Vader or whatever, and like there's like lightning flashing in the background.
00:27:38.799 --> 00:27:41.119
He's like, ah, it will get yeah, whatever.
00:27:41.279 --> 00:27:42.000
It's it's very funny.
00:27:42.079 --> 00:27:42.720
I encourage it.
00:27:42.880 --> 00:27:43.759
I forget the guy's name.
00:27:43.920 --> 00:27:46.319
Uh but anyway, Howie knows this team isn't good.
00:27:46.559 --> 00:27:51.920
Eagles fans knows that know this team isn't good that lost to the Rams, I think was the signal for everybody.
00:27:52.000 --> 00:27:53.680
Like, all right, it's time to rebuild.
00:27:53.759 --> 00:27:58.640
This is a guy who built a championship team that they won with Nick Foles, obviously Miracle Run.
00:27:58.720 --> 00:28:05.599
Coaches did some work there, but rebuilt the entire thing for a Super Bowl five seasons later.
00:28:05.759 --> 00:28:08.640
Maybe it was six, but very, very quickly.
00:28:08.720 --> 00:28:12.079
There was only like three guys that were on the first team and the second team.
00:28:12.240 --> 00:28:13.119
Lane Johnson being the one.
00:28:16.079 --> 00:28:16.559
Yeah, yeah.
00:28:16.720 --> 00:28:17.920
And Lane Johnson.
00:28:18.079 --> 00:28:18.640
Yeah.
00:28:18.880 --> 00:28:20.000
It was like those guys.
00:28:20.160 --> 00:28:22.000
I think there might have been like one other.
00:28:22.160 --> 00:28:26.400
Uh, but yeah, uh Jake Elliott, two times Super Bowl champion, never forget.
00:28:26.640 --> 00:28:30.319
But uh thoughts on the Eagles retooling.
00:28:30.400 --> 00:28:37.200
I think with Nick Sirianni, who we definitely lambass on this podcast, I think he's gonna be part of the retooling.
00:28:37.359 --> 00:28:38.640
I think he's gonna be fired.
00:28:38.720 --> 00:28:40.400
I think they did it to Doug Peterson.
00:28:40.480 --> 00:28:43.200
They are not afraid to do it to Nick Sirianni, and why not?
00:28:43.440 --> 00:28:47.440
In Howie, I trust, and that's how I think all Eagles fans should feel.
00:28:47.599 --> 00:28:48.799
Just let him do his thing.
00:28:48.960 --> 00:28:55.039
You might have to punt on this season, but reload, retool, and make another strong playoff appearance.
00:28:55.200 --> 00:28:55.519
Yeah.
00:28:55.680 --> 00:29:00.160
I I wouldn't be shocked at all if, you know, this year, the rest of this year was pretty tough.
00:29:00.319 --> 00:29:08.480
Next year, maybe it's it maybe you're middling, maybe it's a really bad season because they have bottomed out a couple times in the Howie Roseman era.
00:29:08.960 --> 00:29:12.240
Uh, and I think I I mean I keep hearing Hertz buzz.
00:29:12.400 --> 00:29:18.000
The Eagles fans don't think that's real, but it is something that is being talked about around the NFL.
00:29:18.160 --> 00:29:37.759
But then couldn't you imagine Howie just hitting on a ton of free agency and trades, and then also the fur two firsts and two seconds or trading for stars with those 28 picks, and then we're coming into the 2028 season, and it's like, oh, the Eagles are are back to a totally new team and a totally new juggernaut.
00:29:38.000 --> 00:29:41.039
There's still so much young talent that they can retain.
00:29:41.680 --> 00:29:43.759
And they'll they'll trade some of them too.
00:29:44.000 --> 00:29:44.559
Yeah.
00:29:46.240 --> 00:29:47.119
No, no, no, no.
00:29:47.279 --> 00:29:49.359
Like, think about the the Eagles depth chart.
00:29:49.440 --> 00:29:50.559
I'm just looking at it.
00:29:50.720 --> 00:29:52.319
They just drafted Mikhail Lemon.
00:29:52.400 --> 00:29:53.599
I assume they're gonna give him a chance.
00:29:53.839 --> 00:29:55.680
Devontae Smith is still pretty young.
00:29:55.839 --> 00:29:56.319
What is he?
00:29:56.480 --> 00:29:57.119
27.
00:29:57.200 --> 00:29:58.799
So I imagine he'll be around there.
00:29:58.880 --> 00:30:00.400
But Goddard's gonna be gone.
00:30:00.640 --> 00:30:03.359
My lot is 29, maybe he'll be around.
00:30:03.599 --> 00:30:06.240
Jalen Carter probably will be around.
00:30:06.559 --> 00:30:12.559
The corners, Mate, Giod Campbell, Nolan Smith, Cooper Dejean, Quinyon Mitchell.
00:30:12.720 --> 00:30:20.319
I think everyone else, and probably some of those guys are our free game for the rest of the league.
00:30:20.400 --> 00:30:20.640
Yeah.
00:30:20.880 --> 00:30:22.240
Over the next couple seasons.
00:30:22.400 --> 00:30:23.119
So yeah.
00:30:23.279 --> 00:30:26.880
I mean, I I think every NFL fan base would love to have Howie Roseman.
00:30:27.039 --> 00:30:28.640
I'd love to have Jalen Carter.
00:30:31.839 --> 00:30:36.000
I didn't I didn't know I could feel that way, but when you said that, I was like, oh yeah.
00:30:36.319 --> 00:30:37.920
But Jalen Carter on this defense.
00:30:38.240 --> 00:30:39.279
Getting all tingly.
00:30:40.960 --> 00:30:41.920
I need to go.
00:30:42.000 --> 00:30:44.079
I I we need to pause the podcast.
00:30:44.160 --> 00:30:44.960
I'll be right back.
00:30:45.119 --> 00:30:45.519
All right.
00:30:45.680 --> 00:30:48.799
Uh let's talk about the let's let's uh power through the rest of this.
00:30:48.880 --> 00:30:51.279
Lamar looking like he's gonna miss some time.
00:30:51.440 --> 00:30:55.519
I watched this uh sports doctor guy, always makes videos after players get hurt.
00:30:55.599 --> 00:30:58.799
He called the ankle injury and he said, guys coming back right away.
00:30:58.880 --> 00:31:01.519
I've had have re-aggravated it and missed more time.
00:31:01.680 --> 00:31:09.279
I'm sure he wants to play, but we're probably talking about one or two week Snoop Huntley appearance for the Ravens, which feels like an every year occurrence at this point.
00:31:09.440 --> 00:31:10.240
Uh thoughts on that?
00:31:10.400 --> 00:31:11.440
Yeah, unfortunately.
00:31:11.680 --> 00:31:17.839
Omar's just been injury prone and I'd rather see him healthy than like last year it felt like he was rushed back.
00:31:17.920 --> 00:31:19.279
And was that two years ago?
00:31:19.519 --> 00:31:24.000
No, it was it was, I mean, it's probably happened more than once, but yeah, where he just doesn't look the same.
00:31:24.160 --> 00:31:24.559
Mm-hmm.
00:31:24.720 --> 00:31:29.599
Yeah, no, it was last year because he kept taking all those sacks in the backfield where he normally escapes.
00:31:29.759 --> 00:31:35.440
So, yeah, I'd rather him be healthy um for this team, and I'm sure that yeah.
00:31:35.839 --> 00:31:36.559
They're three and one.
00:31:38.160 --> 00:31:39.440
Snoop's not bad.
00:31:39.599 --> 00:31:44.319
As far as backup quarterbacks go and this Raven system, like he can win some games.
00:31:45.119 --> 00:31:49.920
It's not ideal, but they have Atlanta, Cleveland the next two weeks.
00:31:50.079 --> 00:31:56.559
I think you can split that before and two and when Lamar comes back for Bengals, Bills, Jags.
00:31:56.880 --> 00:31:57.200
Yeah.
00:31:57.359 --> 00:32:00.079
But I you really don't want Lamar missing more time.
00:32:00.160 --> 00:32:09.839
So if he comes back for Atlanta and then he misses a month, that's when you start piling up losses to the Bengals, Bills, Jags, whoever's Atlanta in prime time, too.
00:32:11.039 --> 00:32:15.119
They're gonna let the great.
00:32:15.279 --> 00:32:16.480
We'll talk about that game tomorrow.
00:32:16.559 --> 00:32:19.599
Because the Ravens defense has been a little disappointing for me.
00:32:20.160 --> 00:32:25.680
Um, we talked about CJ Gardner Johnson taking a shot at uh Eftham Chisholm.
00:32:26.000 --> 00:32:28.799
Mark Vrabel took a shot back at CJ Gardner-Johnson.
00:32:28.960 --> 00:32:33.599
My favorite part about this was someone being like Vrabel after the offseason you've had.
00:32:33.759 --> 00:32:37.279
CJ doesn't seem like the type of guy to not mention it.
00:32:37.759 --> 00:32:39.839
So maybe just don't do this.
00:32:40.000 --> 00:32:45.039
So I'm curious to see if CJ actually claps back at him for uh the Rossini report.
00:32:45.119 --> 00:32:46.400
And I hope he does.
00:32:46.640 --> 00:32:47.759
I hope he does too.
00:32:47.920 --> 00:32:52.319
I mean, I'm I'm all here for Mike Vrabel, uh, what the fuck's her first name?
00:32:52.400 --> 00:32:54.240
Diana Rossini slander.
00:32:54.480 --> 00:32:55.759
I think the partners knew.
00:32:55.920 --> 00:32:57.519
I I stand for him on that.
00:32:57.680 --> 00:33:00.640
I think it was like uh whatever, don't ask, don't tell policy.
00:33:00.799 --> 00:33:02.400
Anyway, Joe Mixon.
00:33:03.680 --> 00:33:09.200
Um he got signed by the Seahawks, but then he didn't get signed by the Seahawks, or at least I thought he did.
00:33:09.279 --> 00:33:11.359
Uh they signed another guy to their practice squad.
00:33:11.440 --> 00:33:12.799
They're still looking for good running backs.
00:33:12.880 --> 00:33:14.000
He failed the physical.
00:33:14.160 --> 00:33:20.160
There's a guy that had a weird foot injury at a kid's birthday party a couple years ago, and he just hasn't been able to come back.
00:33:20.240 --> 00:33:23.759
It's kind of sad because he was hooping last time he played with the Texans.
00:33:24.160 --> 00:33:28.000
Um, but yeah, it looks like Joe Mixon's career might be over with this one.
00:33:28.160 --> 00:33:28.400
Yeah.
00:33:28.559 --> 00:33:28.720
Yeah.
00:33:28.960 --> 00:33:31.759
Failed physical, and yeah, they decided not to sign him.
00:33:31.839 --> 00:33:38.880
And I j I just don't know why they I mean, I think they should be all right with with uh Wilson, the guy who is it Manual?
00:33:39.200 --> 00:33:40.240
I think they just want options.
00:33:40.319 --> 00:33:42.559
It's Emmanuel Wilson, the former Packers running back.
00:33:42.799 --> 00:33:44.559
No, I thought Wilson played really well.
00:33:44.720 --> 00:33:45.279
I agree.
00:33:45.440 --> 00:33:48.079
And then they have Helani for like passing downs.
00:33:48.240 --> 00:33:53.279
I I totally on board with you, but I think adding a guy like Joe Mixon gives you the opportunity.
00:33:53.440 --> 00:33:56.720
Oh, maybe he's ready, but uh, they just want bodies.
00:33:56.880 --> 00:33:58.720
Like price went down, Charbonnet.
00:33:58.799 --> 00:34:01.519
I think that injury's taken longer to heal than they wanted it to.
00:34:01.680 --> 00:34:03.759
But yeah, Mixon at 30 years old.
00:34:04.000 --> 00:34:05.279
Unfortunately, it's probably done.
00:34:05.359 --> 00:34:05.680
Yeah.
00:34:05.839 --> 00:34:06.720
I just had a shock.
00:34:06.799 --> 00:34:10.159
Uh his birthday is 96, and I was like, how old does that make him?
00:34:10.239 --> 00:34:12.320
And I went 30, and I'm like, oh, he's old.
00:34:12.400 --> 00:34:13.679
And I was like, fuck.
00:34:15.440 --> 00:34:17.039
Because I turned 29 tomorrow.
00:34:17.199 --> 00:34:18.480
Will's about a month away.
00:34:18.559 --> 00:34:23.599
Like it 30-year-olds seem so old, and we are a year away.
00:34:23.840 --> 00:34:24.320
Yeah.
00:34:24.480 --> 00:34:24.800
Yeah.
00:34:25.599 --> 00:34:26.480
You know what I mean?
00:34:26.639 --> 00:34:28.719
But anyway, never feel older.
00:34:28.960 --> 00:34:30.400
I always asked my dad about that.
00:34:30.559 --> 00:34:34.719
Uh, last thing, D'Amico Ryan's taking back defensive play calling duties.
00:34:34.880 --> 00:34:36.159
I forget who had it.
00:34:36.400 --> 00:34:37.519
Uh, Matt Burke.
00:34:37.760 --> 00:34:38.960
So bye-bye, Burke.
00:34:39.119 --> 00:34:42.159
Uh Texans are on four, and the defense has been terrible.
00:34:42.320 --> 00:34:50.880
I think sometimes I get why coaches don't do it sooner, but this was something they could have sniffed out probably before they played the Cowboys.
00:34:51.039 --> 00:34:53.679
So, some questionable coaching stuff from the Texans.
00:34:53.840 --> 00:34:56.880
Situationally, the going forward on fourth and running up the middle.
00:34:56.960 --> 00:35:02.079
There's definitely been some bad coach stuff, but I think D'Amico Ryan's overall is a very good coach.
00:35:02.320 --> 00:35:02.559
Yeah.
00:35:02.639 --> 00:35:03.519
Yeah, I do too.
00:35:03.679 --> 00:35:06.559
I th I think he will actually help fix this defense.
00:35:06.719 --> 00:35:12.320
Um yeah, it just felt like something stunk, and I'm hoping he can turn it around.
00:35:12.639 --> 00:35:20.960
Yeah, I am in their divisions and I kind of hope that they turn it around after our game, but I don't know if you heard me.
00:35:21.199 --> 00:35:22.159
You were like something stunk.
00:35:22.239 --> 00:35:25.599
I was like, yeah, their past defense has been brutal.
00:35:25.840 --> 00:35:27.679
C C D Lamb at a career day.
00:35:28.239 --> 00:35:31.119
Uh but yeah, I think we're ready for Thursday night football.
00:35:31.199 --> 00:35:31.679
Let's do it.
00:35:31.840 --> 00:35:34.800
Thursday, October 8th, on my birthday.
00:35:35.039 --> 00:35:37.199
Happy 29th birthday to myself.
00:35:37.360 --> 00:35:40.480
Uh, I did have some of the best news I've had in a long time.
00:35:40.639 --> 00:35:42.239
Best birthday gift ever.
00:35:42.400 --> 00:35:45.360
Kind of a random happenstance of life stuff.
00:35:45.440 --> 00:35:48.239
Uh, we don't need to get into it here, but I'm thrilled.
00:35:48.400 --> 00:35:50.000
29, never felt better.
00:35:50.159 --> 00:35:55.199
But we have the Bucks and Jalen Daniels going to Dallas and playing the Cowboys.
00:35:55.360 --> 00:35:59.679
Minus seven and a half, minus eight and a half for Will over there on FanDuel.
00:35:59.920 --> 00:36:04.079
We always pick the games on the Bovada spread just to keep things consistent.
00:36:04.320 --> 00:36:07.760
I can't access FanDuel, but well, this should be a bloodbath.
00:36:07.840 --> 00:36:09.199
I'm worried the line's not bigger.
00:36:09.280 --> 00:36:10.159
I brought this up.
00:36:10.400 --> 00:36:12.400
Every stat is Cowboys.
00:36:12.559 --> 00:36:16.639
Bucks are 3-14 against the spread on Thursday night since 1980.
00:36:16.800 --> 00:36:20.719
Todd Bulls is 5-13 against the spread in primetime.
00:36:21.599 --> 00:36:27.440
Uh Bulls is one and six against the spread over the last three seasons in primetime.
00:36:27.519 --> 00:36:30.719
The Bucks have failed to cover in 13 consecutive games.
00:36:30.880 --> 00:36:33.679
Technically, we picked them at three and a half.
00:36:33.920 --> 00:36:39.599
Uh, but the public, I think, the everybody had him at three last week against the Packers, so it was a push.
00:36:39.760 --> 00:36:41.119
The Bucs are just so bad.
00:36:41.280 --> 00:36:44.000
Todd Bowles should be fired already.
00:36:44.400 --> 00:36:50.559
And uh the Cowboys love going over, uh, uh, at least with Dak Prescott against the NFC.
00:36:50.639 --> 00:36:54.639
So I think this is a lot of points from the Cowboys.
00:36:54.880 --> 00:37:01.119
Not so many points from the Bucs, though they probably do score a little bit because the Cowboys' defense isn't great.
00:37:01.280 --> 00:37:05.760
I'm plugging my nose and I'm betting minus six and a half.
00:37:05.840 --> 00:37:10.400
And I think it, I think it's a pretty substantial bet that you can make here.
00:37:10.480 --> 00:37:12.079
But uh thoughts on this game, Will.
00:37:12.239 --> 00:37:12.719
I like that.
00:37:12.800 --> 00:37:15.119
Yeah, I I I like the tease down.
00:37:15.280 --> 00:37:19.840
Um, I will say the NFL gave you a blessing on your birthday with this game.
00:37:21.519 --> 00:37:23.920
Yeah, this is all I wanted to see.
00:37:24.480 --> 00:37:30.320
Dude, uh, dude, a couple years ago, I had I I got an NFL Sunday birthday.
00:37:30.400 --> 00:37:30.960
It was awesome.
00:37:31.039 --> 00:37:32.000
But anyway, go on.
00:37:32.239 --> 00:37:33.280
Oh, those are the best.
00:37:33.440 --> 00:37:33.760
Yeah.
00:37:34.079 --> 00:37:39.519
Um Cowboys earned a huge comeback victory over the Tech over the Texans last Sunday.
00:37:39.679 --> 00:37:56.320
They should be able to kind of ride that wave of motivation and and just be able to kind of hit their stride, have little issue beating this Bucks team, who was not very good this past weekend on offense against Green Bay, who's not had much of a had much of a defense this season.
00:37:56.559 --> 00:37:58.400
Jalen Daniels under center.
00:37:58.480 --> 00:38:01.280
Uh he had one pick, should have thrown two.
00:38:01.360 --> 00:38:06.159
I think there's a lot of props we can take advantage of, and I I just I'll do like the minus six and a half.
00:38:06.320 --> 00:38:09.679
I think it's I don't know how it's not eight and a half, nine.
00:38:10.320 --> 00:38:11.360
That's my only concern.
00:38:11.840 --> 00:38:17.119
That's literally my only concern is that this game should probably be more like nine and a half, and it's still probably like it.
00:38:17.840 --> 00:38:20.239
Because Todd Bowles gets blown out in prime time.
00:38:20.480 --> 00:38:30.880
Like they're failing to cover, uh, they're failing to cover on prime time by 6.4 points in the Todd Bowles era over the last three seasons.
00:38:31.039 --> 00:38:36.559
Uh they're 0-8 against the spread the week after facing a team with a losing record since the start of last season.
00:38:36.639 --> 00:38:37.440
That's a weird step.
00:38:37.519 --> 00:38:39.519
But they're also just bad at covering the spread.
00:38:39.840 --> 00:38:48.880
So, yeah, the rookie quarterback, I think if there's any week that the Cowboys have, you know, opportunities to make the defense look good, this is one of them.
00:38:49.039 --> 00:38:51.039
And then also first half overs.
00:38:52.239 --> 00:38:56.719
And Dak Prescott gets the NFC over the last four seasons, 26-6.
00:38:57.039 --> 00:38:58.719
Honestly, we got to start betting that.
00:38:58.960 --> 00:39:01.119
Because that is a crazy percentage.
00:39:01.280 --> 00:39:02.159
First half over.
00:39:02.239 --> 00:39:02.719
I like that.
00:39:02.960 --> 00:39:04.239
Dak against the NFC, yeah.
00:39:04.400 --> 00:39:05.119
First half over.
00:39:05.199 --> 00:39:08.320
Because it wouldn't have hit last week with the Texans, probably.
00:39:08.400 --> 00:39:11.920
They're down 16 to 6, but yeah, they're killing it.
00:39:12.000 --> 00:39:14.239
I like the Cowboys score a lot of points in this game.
00:39:14.480 --> 00:39:18.880
Uh Dak is close as a favorite of six points or more in prime time 12 times.
00:39:19.119 --> 00:39:22.079
Cowboys are 12-0 straight up, nine and three against the spread.
00:39:22.239 --> 00:39:34.079
I don't like teasing teams like first thing in the week and then having to wait till Sunday, but if you did want to throw the uh Cowboys on one leg of a teaser, I think it's a pretty good bet as well.
00:39:34.239 --> 00:39:37.280
So system play has worked the last two weeks.
00:39:37.440 --> 00:39:42.639
We don't have quite the same level of system here, except Bucks are terrible and Bucks don't cover the spread.
00:39:42.800 --> 00:39:46.559
So let's see if we can hit three straight Thursday night system plays.
00:39:46.719 --> 00:39:48.320
I really like that first half over.
00:39:48.400 --> 00:39:50.079
It's sitting at 24 and a half.
00:39:50.239 --> 00:39:53.440
Cowboys minus six out six and a half for that first half.
00:39:53.519 --> 00:39:56.880
And their total points is at over 14 and a half.
00:39:57.039 --> 00:39:58.159
Kind of like all of those.
00:39:58.320 --> 00:39:58.719
Yeah.
00:39:58.880 --> 00:40:01.679
I'm seeing points at 28 and a half.
00:40:01.840 --> 00:40:05.599
If you're on a book where you can move it down to 27 and a half, I don't see why you wouldn't do that.
00:40:05.679 --> 00:40:07.519
But I think they blow that out of the water.
00:40:07.599 --> 00:40:09.679
I'm betting the 28 and a half.
00:40:10.480 --> 00:40:12.159
For the team total for the game?
00:40:12.400 --> 00:40:13.599
Yeah, team total for the game.
00:40:13.760 --> 00:40:15.119
Team total for the first half.
00:40:15.280 --> 00:40:20.239
I I think there's a chance, you know, we go all in on the Cowboys and we get slaughtered.
00:40:20.320 --> 00:40:22.239
But like, has the Bucks defense been great?
00:40:22.320 --> 00:40:23.840
They've been opportunistic at times.
00:40:24.000 --> 00:40:35.280
Like they've they forced some turnovers against the Packers late that were able to cover that three and a half that we picked it at or push, whatever, whatever you had the the game at, but the Packers are moving the ball, and the Packers' offense has been terrible.
00:40:35.360 --> 00:40:36.239
They can't block.
00:40:36.880 --> 00:40:41.360
Like that this is I know it's a short week, but this Cowboys offense looks like they're locked and loaded.
00:40:41.440 --> 00:40:42.400
What'd they score?
00:40:42.559 --> 00:40:45.679
They scored 31 against the Ravens, should have been to overtime.
00:40:45.760 --> 00:40:52.400
They scored 37 against the Commanders, they scored 34 against the Texans, and they scored 20 against the Giants, and the Giants kicked their ass week one.
00:40:52.559 --> 00:40:55.840
I think they're more like the team we've seen the past three weeks.
00:40:56.400 --> 00:41:00.000
And I think we're going to see them squash the Bucks here.
00:41:00.320 --> 00:41:02.480
At what point does Todd Bulls get fired?
00:41:02.639 --> 00:41:03.920
I think that's also a question.
00:41:04.159 --> 00:41:06.480
I don't think they'll fire him before Baker comes back.
00:41:06.559 --> 00:41:10.079
But then when Baker comes back and they still shit the bet, then they'll fire him.
00:41:10.320 --> 00:41:10.960
Fair enough.
00:41:11.119 --> 00:41:14.400
The uh the Bucs defense also really hasn't been tested.
00:41:14.639 --> 00:41:21.360
Packers score 17, but like I said, they turned it over deep in the red zone multiple times and they can't block.
00:41:21.519 --> 00:41:23.840
Zero sacks on Jordan Love.
00:41:24.719 --> 00:41:26.320
Um, what else happened?
00:41:26.400 --> 00:41:33.440
They played the Vikings, who scored 23 points on them, which is a near miracle with how bad the Vikings' offense is.
00:41:33.599 --> 00:41:37.039
And one of seven of those were on a punt return touchdown.
00:41:37.119 --> 00:41:41.679
They revitalized Deshaun Watson's career in the second half of that Browns game.
00:41:41.840 --> 00:41:42.480
Yeah.
00:41:43.039 --> 00:41:45.440
And uh the Bengals scored a bunch of points on them.
00:41:45.920 --> 00:41:46.159
So yeah.
00:41:46.480 --> 00:41:48.880
Over-unders sitting at 47 and a half.
00:41:49.119 --> 00:41:50.079
I like the over.
00:41:50.719 --> 00:41:54.960
I think the Cowboys, if they really, really want to, they could get this done themselves.
00:41:55.199 --> 00:42:02.480
But with how the Cowboys' defense has been, their inability to generate sacks, I think Tampa should be able to move the chains.
00:42:02.639 --> 00:42:03.599
So, yeah.
00:42:03.840 --> 00:42:05.920
I think it's gonna be another shootout.
00:42:06.079 --> 00:42:09.440
But yeah, double T spot, too.
00:42:09.599 --> 00:42:10.960
It's a great double T spot.
00:42:11.039 --> 00:42:13.119
I'm literally putting that in as you were talking.
00:42:13.360 --> 00:42:19.360
But yeah, great double T's down to minus one and a half over 42.
00:42:19.599 --> 00:42:23.599
I will say it's the only thing I'm concerned about is how easy this looks.
00:42:23.840 --> 00:42:27.519
But we had two kind of easy system plays last two Thursday nights.
00:42:27.679 --> 00:42:30.800
Maybe Thursday night is where we uh, you know, make our bread and butter.
00:42:31.039 --> 00:42:32.400
You have a same gamer or anything?
00:42:32.639 --> 00:42:36.880
Yeah, I got some I got some props and then I got a a same game parlay for us.
00:42:36.960 --> 00:42:38.079
Uh cool, cool, cool.
00:42:38.239 --> 00:42:40.880
Will you uh uh send that to me?
00:42:40.960 --> 00:42:41.039
Yeah.
00:42:41.199 --> 00:42:42.719
Just all your props or whatever.
00:42:42.800 --> 00:42:44.239
I'll just put it into the app.
00:42:44.480 --> 00:42:44.719
Okay.
00:42:44.880 --> 00:42:48.079
Yeah, so I already mentioned that Cowboys team total over.
00:42:48.159 --> 00:42:52.000
I think you tease it down, or I think you mentioned it, but yeah, it's sitting at 28 and a half.
00:42:52.079 --> 00:42:55.519
I think you tease that down maybe 26 and a half.
00:42:55.760 --> 00:42:59.199
Um I I think Pickens is gonna go off in this game.
00:42:59.280 --> 00:43:02.559
They haven't really gotten him as involved as he would like to be.
00:43:02.639 --> 00:43:07.280
Um, so I really like his over four and a half receptions and over 60 yards receiving.
00:43:07.440 --> 00:43:09.360
Probably like the receiving a little bit more.
00:43:09.519 --> 00:43:15.360
Um Dak to go over 250 seems like a mortal lock against this defense.
00:43:15.679 --> 00:43:20.800
And then uh I like a I also really like a Jalen Daniels interception.
00:43:20.960 --> 00:43:22.880
It's at minus 192.
00:43:23.039 --> 00:43:25.519
Um really, really like those odds.
00:43:25.760 --> 00:43:29.440
I think they're gonna try to get either Godwin or Abuka involved.
00:43:29.599 --> 00:43:34.880
They mentioned it after the loss last this past week that those guys just have not been getting enough touches.
00:43:34.960 --> 00:43:37.360
They're not involved in this offense like they should be.
00:43:37.519 --> 00:43:43.519
I like one of the two to go over three receptions in my uh same gamer that I have here.
00:43:43.599 --> 00:43:45.119
Um I picked Godwin.
00:43:45.199 --> 00:43:46.719
So I'll go ahead and read that out.
00:43:46.800 --> 00:43:54.000
It's Godwin three plus receptions, Dak over 250, Pickens over 60, and that Cowboys team total over.
00:43:54.079 --> 00:43:55.760
I brought it down to 24 and a half.
00:43:55.920 --> 00:43:57.360
That's a plus two ninety four.
00:43:57.679 --> 00:43:58.480
I like it a lot.
00:43:58.719 --> 00:43:59.360
Nice.
00:44:00.320 --> 00:44:03.039
Uh, didn't you hit yours last week, or am I wrong about that?
00:44:03.199 --> 00:44:06.320
Uh the same gamer, Browns uh Steelers?
00:44:06.480 --> 00:44:07.280
I feel like you hit.
00:44:07.440 --> 00:44:08.480
I'm pretty sure I did.
00:44:08.639 --> 00:44:09.039
Yeah.
00:44:09.199 --> 00:44:12.719
So let's go back to back weeks here with Bucks Cowboys.
00:44:12.960 --> 00:44:15.440
Did you hear actually the Raiders?
00:44:15.599 --> 00:44:16.880
It's not like a rumor.
00:44:16.960 --> 00:44:18.719
We're looking for a wide receiver, right?
00:44:18.800 --> 00:44:22.079
Clink Kubiak is is pissed about the receiver room.
00:44:22.159 --> 00:44:24.719
They paid Jalen Naylor all this money to play him on the outside.
00:44:24.880 --> 00:44:25.760
It really hasn't worked out.
00:44:25.920 --> 00:44:27.199
Besh got hurt.
00:44:27.360 --> 00:44:30.000
Uh, but apparently Godwin's on the list.
00:44:30.480 --> 00:44:32.079
Uh, who else was on the list?
00:44:32.320 --> 00:44:37.920
Marv, which sounds bad, but the idea is you bring in a top five pick for a fifth-round pick.
00:44:38.159 --> 00:44:38.559
Yeah.
00:44:38.880 --> 00:44:45.119
You just add talent to uh and Marv is is isn't great, but our receiver room is so bad.
00:44:45.280 --> 00:44:46.800
I think he actually might improve it.
00:44:46.960 --> 00:44:49.199
And he did have 850 yards as a rookie.
00:44:49.280 --> 00:44:51.039
I'm defending Marvin Harrison Jr.
00:44:51.360 --> 00:45:03.679
That's how uh excited I was to hear we might get a receiver, but Godwin you brought up, and Godwin was on the list too because Spy Tech was in Tampa Bay during their Super Bowl run and he loves Godwin.
00:45:03.920 --> 00:45:07.280
There's like two other guys that I'm struggling to think of right now.
00:45:07.599 --> 00:45:10.239
You can have Jacoby back, but you're gonna have to pay.
00:45:10.480 --> 00:45:11.519
No, BTJ.
00:45:11.760 --> 00:45:12.480
BTJ.
00:45:12.639 --> 00:45:13.440
Thanks for reminding me.
00:45:13.760 --> 00:45:14.639
Hey, BTJ.
00:45:14.880 --> 00:45:15.840
We won't let him go yet.
00:45:16.079 --> 00:45:17.199
BTJ for a second.
00:45:17.280 --> 00:45:20.400
No, I think uh he doesn't really fit in with what y'all want to do.
00:45:20.480 --> 00:45:23.440
It's a different regime than than the one that drafted him.
00:45:23.760 --> 00:45:32.880
I I heard BTJ, and then the last guy was uh oh, is it was it a Bronco?
00:45:33.119 --> 00:45:37.119
So like a Cortland Sutton, but they probably wouldn't trade in division.
00:45:37.760 --> 00:45:38.320
Something like that.
00:45:39.119 --> 00:45:41.360
It was a Sutton-like character.
00:45:41.760 --> 00:45:42.239
Judy.
00:45:42.960 --> 00:45:43.679
Judy, I think.
00:45:43.920 --> 00:45:44.559
It was Judy.
00:45:44.719 --> 00:45:45.679
Yep, it was Judy.
00:45:45.760 --> 00:45:47.280
So that was our big five.
00:45:47.440 --> 00:45:50.239
And I'm super excited and thrilled to see if the Raiders get one.
00:45:50.320 --> 00:45:51.760
So I'll be rooting for Chris Godwin.
00:45:52.000 --> 00:45:53.119
That's kind of my whole thing.
00:45:53.440 --> 00:45:53.679
Alright.
00:45:53.920 --> 00:45:54.880
Anything else, Will?
00:45:55.119 --> 00:46:00.719
I did miss last week because Fannon didn't catch that overthrown ball by Deshaun.
00:46:01.039 --> 00:46:01.599
Oh, yeah.
00:46:01.679 --> 00:46:03.119
So we'll get it back this week.
00:46:03.360 --> 00:46:05.920
I hit the week before on that Falcons Packers.
00:46:06.000 --> 00:46:07.920
So this is yeah, bounce back week.
00:46:08.079 --> 00:46:08.719
I mean, that was tough.
00:46:08.800 --> 00:46:10.639
That was Deshaun just blowing your parlay.
00:46:10.880 --> 00:46:11.840
And nearly the game.
00:46:12.000 --> 00:46:12.320
Yeah.
00:46:13.440 --> 00:46:13.760
All right.
00:46:14.400 --> 00:46:14.960
We'll be back.
00:46:15.360 --> 00:46:16.400
Yeah, true.
00:46:16.559 --> 00:46:18.320
Uh three and one Browns somehow.
00:46:18.559 --> 00:46:20.079
We'll be back tomorrow night.
00:46:20.239 --> 00:46:21.199
Recap this game.
00:46:21.440 --> 00:46:23.360
Talk about how much money we won.
00:46:23.679 --> 00:46:29.039
And uh give you the rest of our favorite bets from week five in the NFL season.
00:46:29.119 --> 00:46:38.719
We're officially at the quarter mark after the noon, one o'clock, whatever your early slate is, uh, on Sunday of the season.
00:46:38.880 --> 00:46:40.639
A quarter of the games will have been played.
00:46:40.800 --> 00:46:46.400
So take it in, make some money, uh, bet hard, bet fast, and we love you guys.
00:46:46.480 --> 00:46:46.960
We'll be back.
00:46:47.039 --> 00:46:54.719
All right, from me, Cole Smitson, the locksmith, from Slick Willie Will Einfut, the wettest man in podcasting, and from all of you out there to make the podcast so special.
00:46:54.800 --> 00:46:55.440
We thank you.
00:46:55.679 --> 00:46:56.320
Peace.
00:46:56.559 --> 00:46:57.039
Peace.
00:46:57.679 --> 00:46:59.280
Why was that so soft?
00:46:59.440 --> 00:47:00.400
I don't know.
00:00:01.360 --> 00:00:04.959
Your go-to place for classics.
00:00:07.280 --> 00:00:08.560
Come in poor.
00:00:08.720 --> 00:00:09.919
Walk out rich.
00:00:10.080 --> 00:00:11.679
Let's make some fucking money.
00:00:11.839 --> 00:00:17.039
Hello and welcome back to Slick William the Locksmith, the gambling show from the 4th and 32 podcast.
00:00:17.199 --> 00:00:19.600
I'm your host, Cole Smithson, the Locksmith.
00:00:19.679 --> 00:00:22.079
And joining me, it's the wettest man in podcasting.
00:00:22.320 --> 00:00:25.120
It's Slick Willy Will Einfeld.
00:00:25.280 --> 00:00:26.160
How you doing, buddy?
00:00:26.239 --> 00:00:26.719
I'm good.
00:00:26.879 --> 00:00:27.440
I'm good.
00:00:27.600 --> 00:00:32.320
Yeah, I uh I lost some money there on Monday night, but uh ready to bounce back.
00:00:32.479 --> 00:00:33.039
No, 100%.
00:00:33.280 --> 00:00:35.280
This is a big bounce back week for the podcast.
00:00:35.359 --> 00:00:38.960
I think I'm liking the lines a little bit more than I have the last couple weeks.
00:00:39.119 --> 00:00:42.799
And a lot of people out there are saying you need four weeks to figure out these teams.
00:00:43.039 --> 00:00:49.920
We're here for the Thursday night preview show, but obviously we do the uh recaps on Sunday now, so we missed Monday night.
00:00:50.079 --> 00:00:57.920
And we got to talk about this Falcons blowout win in New Orleans, 45 to 24 on the Steve Gleason 20th anniversary game.
00:00:58.159 --> 00:00:59.600
I have a couple thoughts on this.
00:00:59.759 --> 00:01:07.120
The Falcons have looked legit the last two primetime games they've played, but Bijan Robinson is one of the greatest primetime players of all time.
00:01:07.359 --> 00:01:08.319
Minimum five games.
00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:10.799
He has the most scrimmage yards per game in primetime.
00:01:10.959 --> 00:01:12.400
He goes for a buck 45 and two.
00:01:12.719 --> 00:01:14.000
We were pot committed.
00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:21.840
I texted you day of Monday night, and maybe we should have hedged, but we had the fourth and 32 parlay with just the Saints money line.
00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:24.159
Should have cashed out, should have been smarter.
00:01:24.239 --> 00:01:25.840
All the sharps were on the Falcons.
00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:30.079
I mean, the splits in bet percentage versus bet money was insane.
00:01:30.239 --> 00:01:33.760
They knew what was coming in this game, and it was just a bloodbath.
00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:38.719
Saints really struggling to run the ball this season, putting Shuck in a bad place.
00:01:38.879 --> 00:01:48.239
Uh, he didn't play terribly, but they got down so early, and their defense looked like absolute Swiss cheese, which we also saw last week with the Raiders.
00:01:48.400 --> 00:01:55.840
That Ravens game is looking a little bit more like an anomaly than it is the Saints being a legitimate team.
00:01:55.920 --> 00:01:59.840
And this was our NFC South team to make the playoffs this season, Will.
00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:04.959
And the Falcons and the Panthers look a lot better both in pronta this week.
00:02:05.120 --> 00:02:07.439
Um, so what are your thoughts on this game?
00:02:07.599 --> 00:02:09.919
I are do you still trust Shuck and the Saints?
00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:11.360
Do you have concerns?
00:02:11.520 --> 00:02:13.199
Are you wishing you picked a different team?
00:02:13.520 --> 00:02:15.599
I think this was just a tough game for the Saints.
00:02:15.759 --> 00:02:17.599
The Falcons had that extra rest.
00:02:17.759 --> 00:02:22.639
I think we should have factored that in a little bit more coming off the Thursday night from last week.
00:02:22.879 --> 00:02:26.639
Um and then their injury report is starting to rack up a good bit.
00:02:26.800 --> 00:02:30.960
They were missing a few linebackers, a couple pass rushers.
00:02:31.360 --> 00:02:39.120
And yeah, it was just it was really tough uh for them to dig themselves out of the hole when they kind of got off to a slow start.
00:02:39.360 --> 00:02:45.360
And yeah, Bijan is is almost impossible to uh contain now, especially on prime time.
00:02:45.759 --> 00:02:53.360
And yeah, I think it was just it just a little bit too much, and and Falcons played spoiler to the uh, what do they call it?
00:02:53.439 --> 00:02:55.599
The the dome coming 20th anniversary.
00:02:55.919 --> 00:02:56.960
The dome coming.
00:02:57.120 --> 00:03:03.439
Yeah, I think we should have just you had one note on the Steve Gleason thing, I thought you might want to say.
00:03:03.680 --> 00:03:04.000
Did I?
00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:04.960
I don't even know what I said.
00:03:05.199 --> 00:03:07.120
But something about what they put on his face.
00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:07.759
Yeah.
00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:15.599
They kept putting they kept putting sticky notes on his forehead, and I don't I don't know if I like it.
00:03:15.759 --> 00:03:17.039
I think it must have been okay.
00:03:17.360 --> 00:03:17.919
Fucked up.
00:03:18.240 --> 00:03:19.439
It did look fucked up.
00:03:19.520 --> 00:03:21.280
It must, they must have been okay with it.
00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:23.840
Like, like his family and everything was right there.
00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:26.800
I highly doubt that was not okayed.
00:03:27.039 --> 00:03:30.479
Yeah, I I'm sure it was, but I just it looks fucked up.
00:03:30.639 --> 00:03:32.879
That's all that's all I had.
00:03:33.199 --> 00:03:33.840
It did.
00:03:34.319 --> 00:03:34.879
It did.
00:03:35.039 --> 00:03:37.280
Uh, but we have we have to have a real conversation.
00:03:37.360 --> 00:03:40.800
Like Bichon can single-handedly take this Falcons team to the playoffs.
00:03:40.879 --> 00:03:44.879
He starts off this game with a 60-yard touchdown and he absolutely dominated.
00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:54.560
Honestly, if they weren't trying to ease his workload and gave Brian Robinson, the fantasy vulture, three touchdowns, because who's starting Brian Robinson in a fantasy league?
00:03:54.719 --> 00:03:55.439
Absolutely nobody.
00:03:55.680 --> 00:03:58.879
Those people that fucked up and picked him when they meant to pick Bijan.
00:03:59.199 --> 00:04:04.400
Dude, if you did that, you should just quit on the season because it means you're picking one, two, something like that.
00:04:04.560 --> 00:04:09.919
Uh, but yeah, Bichon could have had a five touchdown, 200-yard game if he really wanted to.
00:04:10.400 --> 00:04:16.319
And he he really, I think, might be the greatest primetime player of all time.
00:04:17.199 --> 00:04:22.000
And the league, everybody was making fun of them for putting the Falcons in three straight primetime games.
00:04:22.160 --> 00:04:26.480
Well, they know that Bichon is uh is the guy.
00:04:26.639 --> 00:04:32.879
I mean, I just think of uh with that Rams game last year where they beat a Rams team trying to uh make the number one seed.
00:04:33.040 --> 00:04:34.800
I think I watched that in an airport.
00:04:35.120 --> 00:04:36.319
Was that around the holidays?
00:04:36.560 --> 00:04:37.360
Must have been.
00:04:37.680 --> 00:04:38.639
Yeah, something like that.
00:04:38.879 --> 00:04:41.600
I think my flight got delayed, and I watched the whole thing in the airport.
00:04:41.759 --> 00:04:48.160
Um, but yeah, I I mean this Kevin Stevansky team was never gonna work with a Cooper Rush.
00:04:48.319 --> 00:04:50.560
I think people underrated them a bit too much.
00:04:50.639 --> 00:04:52.879
I'm not even the biggest fan of Penix.
00:04:53.040 --> 00:04:54.959
He had the one nice throw to Dotson.
00:04:55.040 --> 00:05:01.519
Uh Drake London is a massive target, and he gets so open for like how slow he is.
00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:04.160
So, and and they have a great relationship.
00:05:04.319 --> 00:05:12.319
So there's some good stuff from Penix, but I think he's he very similarly to the Raiders is just getting scheme wins, if you will.
00:05:12.560 --> 00:05:17.839
And Stefanski's making it very easy for Penix because he still misses some throws sometimes.
00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:20.319
So I'm like, especially betting against them.
00:05:20.480 --> 00:05:23.040
That's what I'm rooting for uh in that moment.
00:05:23.120 --> 00:05:25.920
But yeah, Saints just came alive way too late.
00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:36.000
They're not gonna be able to come back in the second half when they're down 24 to 7 or 31 to 7, whatever it ended up being uh at the worst of it.
00:05:36.160 --> 00:05:40.800
Uh, Falcons, do we think going forward, like, is this team, is this team for real?
00:05:40.959 --> 00:05:42.160
Is this team a threat?
00:05:42.399 --> 00:05:45.279
I've always been a little bit more in on Pen X than you have.
00:05:45.519 --> 00:05:55.199
And it's not like I know he was supposed to kind of be more of a a gunslinger type, and I think he's kind of molded into more of like a system guy.
00:05:55.439 --> 00:06:06.079
It's kind of what the Panthers are doing with Bryce Young, where they're just they're making sure that the the scheme benefits him and he's able to get throws out quick and he's just accurate enough.
00:06:06.240 --> 00:06:17.439
And yeah, no, I I think with all these weapons, I think um with who's gonna return to on the Falcons defense, because that's kind of what I was giving big knocks to, is they have no pass rush.
00:06:17.519 --> 00:06:21.360
They have barely a secondary, but they're able to kind of get things done.
00:06:21.439 --> 00:06:25.680
And and when they have some of these guys return to, it's it's only gonna help them.
00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:29.360
And I I think Atlanta is is a legitimate team.
00:06:29.519 --> 00:06:33.439
I mean, it is the NFC South, so they're gonna have a chance at the end of the year.
00:06:33.600 --> 00:06:34.560
No, that's super true.
00:06:34.639 --> 00:06:37.360
And they play the Panthers in week 18.
00:06:37.519 --> 00:06:42.160
Well, actually, they end their season with Tampa Bay, New Orleans, and the Panthers.
00:06:42.480 --> 00:06:43.120
Oh, wow.
00:06:43.279 --> 00:06:44.399
That's kind of crazy.
00:06:44.560 --> 00:06:47.439
I mean, they always uh do the NFC South like that.
00:06:47.519 --> 00:06:50.720
So uh that this division's gonna be alive to the last week.
00:06:50.800 --> 00:06:51.439
It always is.
00:06:51.600 --> 00:06:55.600
And the Bucs, even at 0-4, and as pathetic as they've looked, they're still alive.
00:06:55.680 --> 00:06:57.120
They're only two games back.
00:06:57.680 --> 00:07:00.000
With what, 13 games to go?
00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:09.360
Uh, but yeah, the Falcons have scored uh 96 points this season, 70 in, sorry, 80 in the last two games.
00:07:09.600 --> 00:07:20.480
80 to uh 38 on primetime, and they have the Ravens on Sunday night football this upcoming week, uh, with maybe Lamar Jackson, probably not.
00:07:20.639 --> 00:07:24.399
We'll talk about that in a second, but this looks like a totally different team.
00:07:24.480 --> 00:07:28.560
And they have so much firepower, like all these top picks, it's finally coming together.
00:07:28.720 --> 00:07:30.879
I've always thought Stefanski was a good coach.
00:07:30.959 --> 00:07:39.839
I thought he was in hell with the quarterback situation, but it's a joke that this was ever a competition between Tua and Penix, because there's no way Tua was gonna play like this.
00:07:40.000 --> 00:07:40.319
No.
00:07:40.480 --> 00:07:51.360
And I think it's perfect that they didn't try to rush him back either in those first two games and risk him being out for the season because they desperately need somebody back there who can who can make these passes.
00:07:51.600 --> 00:07:52.160
No, 100%.
00:07:52.560 --> 00:07:55.360
And I think what you said about the system is perfect.
00:07:55.600 --> 00:08:00.399
Like, if you have a ground game, it's gonna help out any quarterback, obviously.
00:08:00.480 --> 00:08:09.279
But when you can have 33 runs for 207 yards and five touchdowns between the running backs, I mean, sky's the limit.
00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:16.240
He only threw 20 passes for 223 yards, uh, which is a good day, but not some insane uh stat line.
00:08:16.399 --> 00:08:22.240
And they they absolutely throttled the Saints, very similar to how they throttled the Packers last week.
00:08:22.319 --> 00:08:26.639
And yeah, they have all these injuries, but their defense is played well.
00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:40.639
Maybe that's more of an indictment on the uh on the Saints and the Packers, but yeah, 18 to 25, 256, one touchdown, one pick against the Packers, and that pick was a fucking was a uh mystery flavored lollipop.
00:08:40.720 --> 00:08:40.799
Yeah.
00:08:41.120 --> 00:08:45.919
I don't think the Saints are as much of a pushover as they were in this game.
00:08:46.159 --> 00:08:48.159
No, I think this was just a bad matchup.
00:08:48.399 --> 00:08:48.720
I agree.
00:08:48.799 --> 00:08:51.759
I thought they did really well against my Raiders two weeks ago.
00:08:51.919 --> 00:08:55.840
I just everything kind of went the wrong way.
00:08:56.720 --> 00:08:58.639
And they can't stop the run.
00:08:58.799 --> 00:08:59.759
That's a real problem.
00:09:00.000 --> 00:09:09.759
Kind of shows how bad at running the ball the Raiders have been early on and how bad the interior offensive line has been because they couldn't stop Derek Henry, they couldn't stop Jameer Gibbs, they they couldn't stop B.
00:09:09.840 --> 00:09:10.480
John Robinson.
00:09:10.559 --> 00:09:13.440
I mean, these are the maybe the three best backs in the league, too.
00:09:13.519 --> 00:09:18.080
But if you could block, if you can get the ground game going, I think anyone can do this to the Saints right now.
00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:22.639
And like they have injuries piling up, like it's uh it's a disaster there.
00:09:22.799 --> 00:09:24.480
But uh any more thoughts on that?
00:09:24.639 --> 00:09:27.039
A tough, tough way to end the gambling weekend.
00:09:27.200 --> 00:09:28.720
Yeah, yeah, it was tough.
00:09:28.960 --> 00:09:44.799
Next time we hedge and we cash out of the fourth and 32, we make that the advice because all the numbers were just lining up Falcons, and it's if it were any other time or bet or anything, I absolutely would have flipped.
00:09:44.879 --> 00:09:45.120
Yeah.
00:09:45.279 --> 00:09:46.559
So that's that's on us.
00:09:46.799 --> 00:09:47.919
We gotta be better about that.
00:09:48.000 --> 00:09:53.759
And that's how we that's how we get these wins in difficult spots as a gambling show.
00:09:53.919 --> 00:09:56.639
So that's that's from us to you, listeners.
00:09:56.720 --> 00:09:58.080
Uh, we'll be better next time.
00:09:58.159 --> 00:10:00.159
And yeah, keep keep riding with us.
00:10:00.320 --> 00:10:00.559
Yeah.
00:10:00.720 --> 00:10:01.519
Yeah, we'll be better.
00:10:01.679 --> 00:10:01.840
Yeah.
00:10:02.000 --> 00:10:02.559
Hand up.
00:10:02.720 --> 00:10:03.200
Hand up.
00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:03.840
Hand up.
00:10:03.919 --> 00:10:09.679
Hey, that's sometimes you gotta sometimes you gotta look in the mirror and and and be like, that's not us.
00:10:09.919 --> 00:10:17.440
So I mean, losing money on bovada is absolutely me, but um, I make some money sometimes.
00:10:17.600 --> 00:10:18.080
All right.
00:10:18.320 --> 00:10:27.600
We gotta talk about some news before we dive into this exciting Thursday night football game between Jalen Daniels and the Buccaneers and Dak Prescott and the Cowboys.
00:10:27.759 --> 00:10:31.600
Uh, dude, that line is too small for me at the seven and a half.
00:10:31.679 --> 00:10:32.799
I'm just gonna say it.
00:10:33.039 --> 00:10:34.639
It's it's way too small.
00:10:34.799 --> 00:10:35.600
It's in Dallas.
00:10:35.759 --> 00:10:37.759
Why isn't it a 11-point line?
00:10:38.000 --> 00:10:38.320
Scary.
00:10:38.799 --> 00:10:40.159
Eight and a half on fan tool.
00:10:40.399 --> 00:10:43.679
Yeah, it's seven and a half in Bovada, which means people are betting it the other way.
00:10:43.840 --> 00:10:47.120
I've I've we'll we'll talk about the news and we'll get to that.
00:10:47.279 --> 00:10:52.559
Uh, the biggest news item is there's a couple big ones.
00:10:52.639 --> 00:10:54.000
Let's do the ref one.
00:10:54.080 --> 00:11:06.000
The the NFL has suspended two officials, one for two games and one for one game, for getting into players' faces for one guy, and then the fuck you, fuck you to Trey McBride that we all saw.
00:11:06.159 --> 00:11:09.200
And the NFL's had a real officiating problem so far this season.
00:11:09.279 --> 00:11:13.120
I'm glad they stepped in because like these guys are supposed to be impartial.
00:11:13.200 --> 00:11:14.639
That uh you can't do it.
00:11:14.799 --> 00:11:22.480
Even though they do get yelled, fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, uh, by all the players every game, it's just kind of their job to take it, I honestly.
00:11:23.120 --> 00:11:30.799
Um, I I think if he just let off like a one, like eh, fuck you, man, like and walked away and wasn't like pointing at him and being angry.
00:11:30.960 --> 00:11:32.639
I think he should have gotten away with it.
00:11:32.720 --> 00:11:38.159
It's just you can't get that emotional because it does hurt your impartiality, even if you try to not let it.
00:11:38.320 --> 00:11:40.159
Like that's just how we are as human beings.
00:11:40.320 --> 00:11:51.919
But anyway, the NFL, I believe the stats are seven um penalties per game per offense, like an average across the league.
00:11:52.080 --> 00:11:53.840
That there's so many touchdowns called back.
00:11:53.919 --> 00:12:04.480
I think everybody gambling or fantasy, everybody's noticing that where they uh they're holding their breath if there's a big play that's gonna get called back, and it gets called back a lot.
00:12:04.639 --> 00:12:22.879
And I think there's a real problem in NFL's hands, and I wouldn't be shocked as betters if we have a lot more scoring, at least in this next couple weeks, because everybody's talking about the officiating because of the suspensions, because of look at the the Seahawks Chargers game, absolutely insane amount of penalties.
00:12:22.960 --> 00:12:25.759
Your Jags Bengals game, insane amount of penalties.
00:12:25.919 --> 00:12:32.320
And the league says it investigates when penalties uh affect the outcome of the spread, which you could watch.
00:12:32.480 --> 00:12:42.639
I watched a whole breakdown on how the Chargers wouldn't have pushed, and 90% of the money was on the Seahawks, and they wouldn't have pushed if it wasn't for a couple uh questionable roughing the passer calls.
00:12:42.720 --> 00:12:44.320
So I think the league has a problem on its hands.
00:12:44.399 --> 00:12:45.840
And what do you think about this wall?
00:12:46.000 --> 00:12:48.480
Yeah, no, I I think it's good to suspend these guys.
00:12:48.639 --> 00:12:52.240
Um, yeah, the the Trey McBride, that guy, you you just can't do that.
00:12:52.320 --> 00:12:54.080
He can't be screaming, fuck you.
00:12:54.320 --> 00:12:57.519
And they caught it all on camera, right in front of you.
00:12:57.759 --> 00:12:59.279
Do better, be better.
00:12:59.440 --> 00:13:02.720
Um, the other guy, he I don't know if you watched that play back.
00:13:02.799 --> 00:13:04.480
It's the Eric Wilson.
00:13:04.639 --> 00:13:06.559
Um he runs into him.
00:13:06.720 --> 00:13:16.799
He ran up to try to get in the middle of whatever happened, and Eric Wilson didn't didn't really see him and kind of ran him over and then immediately was like trying to pick him up and was apologizing.
00:13:16.960 --> 00:13:19.200
And that guy just kind of went off too.
00:13:19.440 --> 00:13:20.559
Um, I think it's good.
00:13:20.720 --> 00:13:31.360
I I saw both those guys are appealing it, but I think it's good that the NFL is cracking down on this because this last week was one of the most penalty we heavy weeks that I've seen in a really, really long time.
00:13:31.519 --> 00:13:32.879
And it slowed down the game.
00:13:33.039 --> 00:13:45.039
I mean, it that Jags Bengals game was ugly for a good bit of it when two of those teams, it should have been, it should have been high flying, lots of passing, lots of touchdowns, and a whole lot of fun.
00:13:45.120 --> 00:13:48.080
And yeah, it was not quite that in that game.
00:13:48.240 --> 00:14:01.039
So I'm excited that they're actually gonna crack down on this because we've always talked about how the refs have had their hands in too many of these games, and just feels like it's a whole lot of these refs trying to play hero ball.
00:14:01.120 --> 00:14:02.960
They're trying to make it all about themselves.
00:14:03.039 --> 00:14:06.720
And I I think that it's a very difficult job.
00:14:06.879 --> 00:14:12.559
And I think the league has an issue where they had they almost had the replacement refs again, right?
00:14:12.799 --> 00:14:14.240
Mm-hmm in the offseason.
00:14:14.320 --> 00:14:17.200
They had to renegotiate their collective bargaining agreement.
00:14:17.279 --> 00:14:27.759
So the refs kind of have the league over Rivera because they say if you go back to the replacement refs or you don't have guys that are actually trained to be NFL refs, look how bad it was last time.
00:14:27.840 --> 00:14:28.960
It's gonna be that bad again.
00:14:29.120 --> 00:14:38.559
But I think while that may be true, the incentive of the league should be to train refs to properly dictate the pace of the game.
00:14:38.720 --> 00:14:42.159
Yes, obvious penalties should be called, pass interference holds, whatever.
00:14:42.240 --> 00:14:45.279
But if your call, there's a hold on every NFL play.
00:14:45.840 --> 00:14:48.559
Let's let's just be honest about football as football fans.
00:14:48.720 --> 00:14:51.120
There is an offensive hold on every single play.
00:14:51.279 --> 00:15:02.399
When there's an 80-yard touchdown and it's not an egregious hold, you have to have the ability, whether it's the eye in the sky, whether it's the reps on the field, to change that call.
00:15:02.559 --> 00:15:03.919
Are fans gonna like it?
00:15:04.080 --> 00:15:04.320
No.
00:15:04.480 --> 00:15:17.600
But I think over the, especially in the beginning, but I think over the course of the long run in history, people will enjoy that there is more scoring, better football, and plays aren't called back so much.
00:15:17.759 --> 00:15:23.519
Like I don't want to see a hold or a uh roughing the passer or anything anymore.
00:15:23.600 --> 00:15:24.879
I don't like talking about the refs.
00:15:25.120 --> 00:15:26.000
I like talking about football.
00:15:26.080 --> 00:15:27.279
I like watching football.
00:15:27.519 --> 00:15:32.000
I hate all the videos that it's but when it's a problem, it's a real problem, you know?
00:15:32.080 --> 00:15:36.159
So I just want the league to take care of this so we never have to talk about it again.
00:15:36.320 --> 00:15:41.519
Think about the NBA and the uh the way it's refereed in the playoffs.
00:15:41.679 --> 00:15:45.120
The NFL kind of does that too, where they let the boys play a little bit more.
00:15:45.200 --> 00:15:50.080
I think you just gotta make it the regular season because it's not an 82-game NBA season.
00:15:50.240 --> 00:15:55.600
Every one of these games is vitally important to a team success, to a fan base's experience.
00:15:55.679 --> 00:15:56.960
There's only 17 of them.
00:15:57.120 --> 00:16:00.399
So I think it's on the league to let the boys play.
00:16:00.559 --> 00:16:06.240
And if a ref wants to make it all about himself, then he's gotta go.
00:16:06.399 --> 00:16:10.720
And you have to have the infrastructure in place to be able to replace him immediately.
00:16:10.960 --> 00:16:15.519
My biggest thing too is I hate when they phone it in to is it Gene Cerator?
00:16:16.159 --> 00:16:20.159
They phone it into New York and he's like, that's absolutely the wrong call.
00:16:20.320 --> 00:16:23.840
And he's just like, no, or or that should have been a penalty.
00:16:24.159 --> 00:16:34.080
And when he's saying that and everybody's listening, and then we don't get a change of call or we don't get anything, it's just that just ruins the experience for me.
00:16:34.320 --> 00:16:37.200
I I I'm not a big fan of the Gene Starator thing.
00:16:37.279 --> 00:16:42.240
I don't really know why they do it, and they kind of have to do it because they pay him so much money to be on the broadcast.
00:16:42.320 --> 00:16:48.480
So, like you I've seen it be forced to where like it's an obvious penalty, and they're like, What do you think about this gene?
00:16:48.639 --> 00:16:54.799
And like it, and it there's like a couple of them because there's the one college guy, I think one of them does both college and the NFL.
00:16:54.879 --> 00:16:59.519
There's like the different networks or whatever, but I just want the refs out of my football.
00:16:59.679 --> 00:17:04.160
I want football and not officials uh dictating the pace of games.
00:17:04.319 --> 00:17:08.000
But this is the most penalties we've had in the first four weeks since 2003.
00:17:08.160 --> 00:17:11.039
So this is something that that the league can fix.
00:17:11.119 --> 00:17:18.319
And you have to have academies, you have to, dude, this is billions and billions and billions of dollars worth of gambling, worth of fantasy football.
00:17:18.480 --> 00:17:20.079
The league makes, right?
00:17:20.400 --> 00:17:34.240
You have to have the ability to have ref schools and refs trained and put them in, I don't know, put them in uh college football or high school football, see how they how they perform, watch them like hawks.
00:17:34.319 --> 00:17:39.440
There, there has to be enough infrastructure because it has to matter to the league because the product suffers.
00:17:39.599 --> 00:17:45.440
The league also does unfortunately make some bets that that uh nobody's gonna stop watching anyway.
00:17:45.519 --> 00:17:46.480
So what does it matter?
00:17:46.640 --> 00:17:49.839
And that's that's my only concern here because I'm not gonna stop.
00:17:49.920 --> 00:17:50.960
Are you gonna stop watching?
00:17:51.119 --> 00:17:51.680
Hell no.
00:17:51.920 --> 00:17:52.559
Yeah, exactly.
00:17:52.640 --> 00:17:54.400
So they they got us by the balls.
00:17:54.480 --> 00:17:55.119
I'm gonna be honest.
00:17:55.200 --> 00:17:56.799
I mean, we do a fucking podcast, right?
00:17:56.880 --> 00:18:00.079
Like we're we're as deep in it as we could be.
00:18:00.880 --> 00:18:03.680
Um but I hope the league makes the correct decision.
00:18:03.839 --> 00:18:04.880
Yeah, damn me too.
00:18:05.200 --> 00:18:12.000
As always, uh the the NFL should always come to the fourth and 32 podcasts like William the Locksmith for all the answers.
00:18:12.720 --> 00:18:16.960
Put us as football czars, and what do they make?
00:18:17.119 --> 00:18:18.400
$10 billion a year now?
00:18:18.559 --> 00:18:20.720
They'd make 40, 50.
00:18:21.519 --> 00:18:28.079
Did you see uh one thing they changed is no more uh pretending like you're chugging a beer is a penalty.
00:18:28.240 --> 00:18:31.519
So we're gonna get a thousand of those celebrations this weekend.
00:18:31.759 --> 00:18:31.920
Yeah.
00:18:32.000 --> 00:18:33.440
Yeah, they walked back those fines.
00:18:33.519 --> 00:18:36.480
I think UsCek had one, and he was like, it's clearly Juice.
00:18:36.799 --> 00:18:38.799
Like I'm that's my nickname.
00:18:38.880 --> 00:18:39.759
My nickname is Juice.
00:18:39.920 --> 00:18:41.119
Yeah, I was chugging juice.
00:18:41.359 --> 00:18:43.279
And then um, was it Ferguson?
00:18:43.359 --> 00:18:50.319
I think Jake Ferguson for the Cowboys had one too that they yeah, they walked back and yeah, no more fines for drinking beer.
00:18:50.480 --> 00:18:52.960
It's one of their biggest sponsors, too, Bud Light.
00:18:53.200 --> 00:18:56.640
So yeah, I I don't know, I don't know why it was a penalty in the first place.
00:18:56.960 --> 00:19:01.440
Also, like, oh, the kids, like uh a kid doesn't know what the fuck that is.
00:19:01.680 --> 00:19:05.519
If they do, they have shitty parents and they probably have worse problems.
00:19:07.920 --> 00:19:09.039
Uh what else?
00:19:09.200 --> 00:19:09.599
What else?
00:19:09.680 --> 00:19:11.039
There was one other thing.
00:19:11.359 --> 00:19:13.759
More sportsmanship rules.
00:19:14.000 --> 00:19:14.799
I saw that.
00:19:14.960 --> 00:19:16.240
I didn't know what that meant.
00:19:16.400 --> 00:19:19.440
Let me more sportsmanship.
00:19:19.680 --> 00:19:21.759
Uh any other thoughts before we move on?
00:19:21.920 --> 00:19:22.960
Uh not really.
00:19:23.119 --> 00:19:23.440
No.
00:19:23.599 --> 00:19:29.920
Uh reportedly to continue strict enforcement of sportsmanship-related rules.
00:19:30.000 --> 00:19:32.559
So that I I guess that's gonna be the ref stuff.
00:19:32.720 --> 00:19:34.079
I guess that's gonna be taunting.
00:19:34.240 --> 00:19:43.119
There was a Raiders player because I remember texting my dad about it uh during that Raiders Chiefs game, right at the end of the game, where he he touched a ref.
00:19:43.440 --> 00:19:45.759
And like, not like, oh, he put his hand on his shoulder.
00:19:45.839 --> 00:19:48.960
Like he he kind of like gave him a sh a little shove.
00:19:49.119 --> 00:19:51.440
He touched him pretty aggressively and they didn't call it.
00:19:51.519 --> 00:19:53.039
And I'm sure the league saw that.
00:19:53.119 --> 00:19:54.720
I'm I'm gonna be shocked if he's fine.
00:19:54.880 --> 00:19:56.880
I cannot, for the life of me, remember who it was right now.
00:19:56.960 --> 00:19:58.079
Maybe Quay Walker.
00:19:58.160 --> 00:20:02.559
He's kind of a hothead sometimes, but anyway, so they're gonna continue to enforce that.
00:20:02.640 --> 00:20:04.559
All right, let's go through the rest of this.
00:20:04.720 --> 00:20:06.799
Uh, NFL make the right decision.
00:20:06.960 --> 00:20:10.240
Uh, Mike McDaniel, his job is not in jeopardy.
00:20:10.480 --> 00:20:11.119
Thoughts about that?
00:20:11.279 --> 00:20:12.240
It was a quick one.
00:20:14.319 --> 00:20:16.480
It's not him that they're worried about.
00:20:16.559 --> 00:20:18.000
They're gonna get rid of Harbaugh.
00:20:18.079 --> 00:20:19.200
They're gonna make him the interim.
00:20:19.279 --> 00:20:20.640
That's why his job's not in jeopardy.
00:20:20.720 --> 00:20:20.880
Yeah.
00:20:21.039 --> 00:20:23.759
They need somebody that knows how to be a head coach.
00:20:24.160 --> 00:20:27.359
Yeah, that's uh I I still think McDaniel's good.
00:20:27.440 --> 00:20:40.559
I don't know what is happening in Charger Land right now, but I saw another stat where Herbert's had the uh easiest quarterback schedule as far as defenses through four games, and he has the hardest five through 17.
00:20:40.720 --> 00:20:41.119
Oof.
00:20:41.279 --> 00:20:48.799
Well, but I don't know how that was broken down because he did play the the Seahawks, and I guess the Bills is pretty easy.
00:20:48.880 --> 00:20:50.000
Who else the Chargers play?
00:20:50.240 --> 00:20:51.920
Cardinals and Raiders.
00:20:52.079 --> 00:20:53.680
So yeah, that makes sense, actually.
00:20:53.920 --> 00:20:55.440
Like the Seahawks is fucking brutal.
00:20:56.240 --> 00:20:57.759
But yeah, Seahawks are awesome.
00:20:58.000 --> 00:21:03.119
Yeah, but that I think statistically they're probably not up there because of what the commanders did to them.
00:21:03.279 --> 00:21:03.680
That's right.
00:21:03.759 --> 00:21:07.440
And it's such a it's such a small sample size, you know?
00:21:08.079 --> 00:21:11.119
Uh, so that that's something to definitely monitor.
00:21:11.519 --> 00:21:12.799
All right, the Eagles.
00:21:12.880 --> 00:21:24.160
We have big offensive line stuff, and it goes from bad to worse in Philly because Lane Johnson, who is a Hall of Fame right tackle, one of the best of his generation, one of the best right tackles of all time.
00:21:24.319 --> 00:21:34.400
Ask any Eagles fan their record with Lane Johnson on the field, uh, when he's playing versus when he's been injured or off the field, it's it's night and day.
00:21:34.799 --> 00:21:35.200
Yeah.
00:21:35.759 --> 00:21:37.039
Time to wake up.
00:21:37.279 --> 00:21:41.440
Uh, but he retires after four weeks.
00:21:41.599 --> 00:21:45.680
He just, the line's been bad this year and he just doesn't have it anymore.
00:21:45.839 --> 00:21:48.319
I do want to say one thing before I toss it to you.
00:21:48.480 --> 00:21:56.799
I saw ESPN and those fucking vultures talking about how he wasn't a man, essentially, what they're implying because he retired during the season.
00:21:57.039 --> 00:22:07.119
All these fucking guys that don't play offensive line and The NFL for 14 years like and realize what that does to your body and he couldn't do it anymore.
00:22:07.279 --> 00:22:11.119
It's better for the team that he walks away when he can't do it anymore.
00:22:11.279 --> 00:22:14.960
I don't want to call him washed, but like, yeah, he he just didn't have it.
00:22:15.119 --> 00:22:16.640
He's been hurt so many times.
00:22:16.799 --> 00:22:29.920
And for guys to go on TV in their fucking air conditioned studio and act like he's not a fucking man, I thought that was absolute embarrassing, ridiculous bullshit and why people shit on ESPN all the time.
00:22:30.079 --> 00:22:30.319
Yeah.
00:22:30.400 --> 00:22:33.440
No, he's one of the best to ever do it at his position.
00:22:33.680 --> 00:22:35.680
And the Eagles are going to be missing him.
00:22:35.839 --> 00:22:37.759
But I think it was a good decision for him.
00:22:37.920 --> 00:22:41.680
Because I don't even think he played in last week's game because of injury.
00:22:41.759 --> 00:22:44.480
And yeah, they would be traveling to London this week.
00:22:44.640 --> 00:22:47.440
I think he just decided, hey, I'm not helping this team.
00:22:47.519 --> 00:22:51.920
I mean, it's almost what my my buddy Landon Dickerson on the left side of their line did.
00:22:52.000 --> 00:22:53.119
He's their left guard.
00:22:53.279 --> 00:22:55.039
He tried to play through week one.
00:22:55.119 --> 00:22:56.799
He's a he's a tough player.
00:22:56.960 --> 00:23:02.720
Um, but he was like, hey, I am not physically able to hold up and I'm a detriment to this team.
00:23:02.799 --> 00:23:06.880
And I think it's kind of the same lane, lane that Lane was in.
00:23:07.119 --> 00:23:07.440
Yeah.
00:23:07.599 --> 00:23:08.480
So yeah.
00:23:08.799 --> 00:23:11.200
Dude, it and he's 36.
00:23:11.359 --> 00:23:13.279
He's a two-time Super Bowl champion.
00:23:13.440 --> 00:23:19.279
Like you said, one of the best to ever do it, one of the most athletic right tackles you've ever seen in his prime.
00:23:20.000 --> 00:23:26.640
And I think what they were shitting on was a statement that said, I've realized my personal and family priorities in my life have changed.
00:23:26.720 --> 00:23:29.920
Right now it's my it is critical that I focus on my mental health.
00:23:30.000 --> 00:23:31.200
And they they were shitting on that.
00:23:31.359 --> 00:23:32.799
Oh, you want to take a mental health break?
00:23:32.960 --> 00:23:37.200
No, this guy is playing through probably copious amounts of pain.
00:23:37.920 --> 00:23:39.920
It that hurts your mental health.
00:23:40.079 --> 00:23:41.920
It's not just physically painful.
00:23:42.079 --> 00:23:43.839
He knows he doesn't have it anymore.
00:23:44.000 --> 00:23:45.599
It's probably very difficult.
00:23:45.759 --> 00:23:49.680
And if he's got kids, I assume he has kids, the way he he's talking.
00:23:49.920 --> 00:23:51.839
I think he just got married this offseason.
00:23:52.000 --> 00:23:52.319
Let's see.
00:23:52.400 --> 00:23:53.680
Elaine John said kids.
00:23:53.759 --> 00:23:59.599
But regardless, like, yeah, that's what he wants to do is is is have kids probably and run around with them.
00:24:00.240 --> 00:24:10.880
And and anyone to question an offensive lineman in the NFL for over a decade's toughness in any any way is just for me, it's just a bridge too far.
00:24:10.960 --> 00:24:16.000
Like we we come on here and we shit on people and we say, oh, they're bad, they're they're this, they're that.
00:24:16.160 --> 00:24:19.440
We don't think any of these guys are soft, like at all.
00:24:19.599 --> 00:24:20.319
And look at us.
00:24:20.400 --> 00:24:22.240
Like, I have a fucking elephant behind me.
00:24:22.400 --> 00:24:24.240
We'll sitting in a nice gaming chair.
00:24:24.319 --> 00:24:26.000
Like we're we're fucking soft.
00:24:26.480 --> 00:24:27.839
Anyway, more thoughts on that?
00:24:28.079 --> 00:24:34.480
They go against the the biggest, meanest, toughest guys in the world each and every week.
00:24:34.640 --> 00:24:41.680
Six foot five behemoths that just get to pin their ears back and try to wreck shop and hurt the guys that are behind them.
00:24:42.000 --> 00:24:42.400
Yeah.
00:24:42.799 --> 00:24:44.799
He has three kids with an ex-wife.
00:24:44.880 --> 00:24:47.279
So he may have gotten married this offseason.
00:24:47.759 --> 00:24:49.200
Um, but he does have three kids.
00:24:49.279 --> 00:24:51.279
He has three fucking kids to spend time with.
00:24:51.440 --> 00:24:53.039
He's got all more money than God.
00:24:53.119 --> 00:24:55.599
Like, yeah, he's not helping the team.
00:24:55.759 --> 00:24:57.200
He's a two-time Super Bowl champion.
00:24:57.279 --> 00:25:00.559
I don't think any Philly fan is upset at Lane Johnson.
00:25:00.720 --> 00:25:02.480
That's how you know it's fucking ridiculous.
00:25:02.720 --> 00:25:07.519
They're upset at the OC and Hertz and everything else.
00:25:07.920 --> 00:25:09.359
I grew up in the Philly area.
00:25:09.519 --> 00:25:12.160
All I saw was Lane Johnson, thank you.
00:25:12.319 --> 00:25:13.759
Lane Johnson, we're gonna miss you.
00:25:13.839 --> 00:25:18.400
I get it, but this is going from bad to worse, you know, as far as the season goes.
00:25:18.559 --> 00:25:19.839
But nobody was mad at him.
00:25:20.480 --> 00:25:32.240
But uh more on the offensive line, Cam Jergens, their uh center, traded to the Ravens, and the Ravens have had some center injuries of this season for a 28 second rounder and a 27 fifth rounder.
00:25:32.400 --> 00:25:36.400
Pretty good haul for Cam Jergens, but this offensive line is already struggling.
00:25:36.480 --> 00:25:39.039
Now you lose your center and your right tackle.
00:25:39.200 --> 00:25:46.640
Big pickup for the Ravens, especially as they try to uh string together a couple good games without Lamar Jackson potentially.
00:25:46.960 --> 00:25:54.400
But yeah, uh this is this is not good for the Eagles rest of the season, and they can't control the Lane Johnson thing.
00:25:54.480 --> 00:25:56.960
But do you think this is the Eagles waving the white flag?
00:25:57.119 --> 00:25:58.559
I think Howie's reloading.
00:25:58.720 --> 00:25:59.359
Yeah, I do.
00:25:59.519 --> 00:26:05.680
I saw something they've they've acquired where they have like 16 picks over the next two seasons.
00:26:05.920 --> 00:26:09.759
Um in 2028, they have two first and two second rounders.
00:26:10.000 --> 00:26:15.279
It's gotta use that to move up in this year's draft, which might be a little bit more talented.
00:26:15.519 --> 00:26:25.920
And yeah, no, I I just think that they're ready to kind of just reload and and see what plays out with this season because they're not getting healthy quickly.
00:26:26.160 --> 00:26:28.079
So Saquon going down too.
00:26:28.160 --> 00:26:35.599
Like I think they're just gonna try to coast this season and reload for next and possibly even 2028.
00:26:35.759 --> 00:26:36.000
Yeah.
00:26:36.160 --> 00:26:37.440
You said 16 picks.
00:26:37.519 --> 00:26:38.960
I was like, that doesn't sound like a lot.
00:26:39.039 --> 00:26:43.279
And Howie's really good at getting uh the uh what are they fucking called?
00:26:43.440 --> 00:26:48.799
Not the conditional picks, the uh the extra picks they get for players leaving in free agency.
00:26:49.039 --> 00:26:50.319
It's not conditional?
00:26:50.640 --> 00:26:51.359
No, no.
00:26:51.440 --> 00:26:53.440
What is that's like when they trade them?
00:26:53.599 --> 00:27:00.960
Um NFL picks where you get them because a player leaves.
00:27:03.599 --> 00:27:06.400
I know compensatory compensatory.
00:27:06.720 --> 00:27:07.200
Yeah, of course.
00:27:07.839 --> 00:27:08.240
All right.
00:27:08.319 --> 00:27:11.200
Uh, but they'll get some compensatory picks because they always do.
00:27:11.279 --> 00:27:18.160
And then yeah, the two firsts and two seconds in in uh 2028 from the AJ Brown trade, now the Cam Jergens trade.
00:27:18.240 --> 00:27:28.000
Like I think that Howie, who's a an evil genius, have you ever seen um the Dark Howie re- uh the guy does reels, TikToks, and he does like a dark Howie bit?
00:27:28.160 --> 00:27:28.480
No.
00:27:28.640 --> 00:27:38.640
Whenever the Eagles make a trade and it's like a a normal GM talking, and it's like dark Howie is like talking like Darth Vader or whatever, and like there's like lightning flashing in the background.
00:27:38.799 --> 00:27:41.119
He's like, ah, it will get yeah, whatever.
00:27:41.279 --> 00:27:42.000
It's it's very funny.
00:27:42.079 --> 00:27:42.720
I encourage it.
00:27:42.880 --> 00:27:43.759
I forget the guy's name.
00:27:43.920 --> 00:27:46.319
Uh but anyway, Howie knows this team isn't good.
00:27:46.559 --> 00:27:51.920
Eagles fans knows that know this team isn't good that lost to the Rams, I think was the signal for everybody.
00:27:52.000 --> 00:27:53.680
Like, all right, it's time to rebuild.
00:27:53.759 --> 00:27:58.640
This is a guy who built a championship team that they won with Nick Foles, obviously Miracle Run.
00:27:58.720 --> 00:28:05.599
Coaches did some work there, but rebuilt the entire thing for a Super Bowl five seasons later.
00:28:05.759 --> 00:28:08.640
Maybe it was six, but very, very quickly.
00:28:08.720 --> 00:28:12.079
There was only like three guys that were on the first team and the second team.
00:28:12.240 --> 00:28:13.119
Lane Johnson being the one.
00:28:16.079 --> 00:28:16.559
Yeah, yeah.
00:28:16.720 --> 00:28:17.920
And Lane Johnson.
00:28:18.079 --> 00:28:18.640
Yeah.
00:28:18.880 --> 00:28:20.000
It was like those guys.
00:28:20.160 --> 00:28:22.000
I think there might have been like one other.
00:28:22.160 --> 00:28:26.400
Uh, but yeah, uh Jake Elliott, two times Super Bowl champion, never forget.
00:28:26.640 --> 00:28:30.319
But uh thoughts on the Eagles retooling.
00:28:30.400 --> 00:28:37.200
I think with Nick Sirianni, who we definitely lambass on this podcast, I think he's gonna be part of the retooling.
00:28:37.359 --> 00:28:38.640
I think he's gonna be fired.
00:28:38.720 --> 00:28:40.400
I think they did it to Doug Peterson.
00:28:40.480 --> 00:28:43.200
They are not afraid to do it to Nick Sirianni, and why not?
00:28:43.440 --> 00:28:47.440
In Howie, I trust, and that's how I think all Eagles fans should feel.
00:28:47.599 --> 00:28:48.799
Just let him do his thing.
00:28:48.960 --> 00:28:55.039
You might have to punt on this season, but reload, retool, and make another strong playoff appearance.
00:28:55.200 --> 00:28:55.519
Yeah.
00:28:55.680 --> 00:29:00.160
I I wouldn't be shocked at all if, you know, this year, the rest of this year was pretty tough.
00:29:00.319 --> 00:29:08.480
Next year, maybe it's it maybe you're middling, maybe it's a really bad season because they have bottomed out a couple times in the Howie Roseman era.
00:29:08.960 --> 00:29:12.240
Uh, and I think I I mean I keep hearing Hertz buzz.
00:29:12.400 --> 00:29:18.000
The Eagles fans don't think that's real, but it is something that is being talked about around the NFL.
00:29:18.160 --> 00:29:37.759
But then couldn't you imagine Howie just hitting on a ton of free agency and trades, and then also the fur two firsts and two seconds or trading for stars with those 28 picks, and then we're coming into the 2028 season, and it's like, oh, the Eagles are are back to a totally new team and a totally new juggernaut.
00:29:38.000 --> 00:29:41.039
There's still so much young talent that they can retain.
00:29:41.680 --> 00:29:43.759
And they'll they'll trade some of them too.
00:29:44.000 --> 00:29:44.559
Yeah.
00:29:46.240 --> 00:29:47.119
No, no, no, no.
00:29:47.279 --> 00:29:49.359
Like, think about the the Eagles depth chart.
00:29:49.440 --> 00:29:50.559
I'm just looking at it.
00:29:50.720 --> 00:29:52.319
They just drafted Mikhail Lemon.
00:29:52.400 --> 00:29:53.599
I assume they're gonna give him a chance.
00:29:53.839 --> 00:29:55.680
Devontae Smith is still pretty young.
00:29:55.839 --> 00:29:56.319
What is he?
00:29:56.480 --> 00:29:57.119
27.
00:29:57.200 --> 00:29:58.799
So I imagine he'll be around there.
00:29:58.880 --> 00:30:00.400
But Goddard's gonna be gone.
00:30:00.640 --> 00:30:03.359
My lot is 29, maybe he'll be around.
00:30:03.599 --> 00:30:06.240
Jalen Carter probably will be around.
00:30:06.559 --> 00:30:12.559
The corners, Mate, Giod Campbell, Nolan Smith, Cooper Dejean, Quinyon Mitchell.
00:30:12.720 --> 00:30:20.319
I think everyone else, and probably some of those guys are our free game for the rest of the league.
00:30:20.400 --> 00:30:20.640
Yeah.
00:30:20.880 --> 00:30:22.240
Over the next couple seasons.
00:30:22.400 --> 00:30:23.119
So yeah.
00:30:23.279 --> 00:30:26.880
I mean, I I think every NFL fan base would love to have Howie Roseman.
00:30:27.039 --> 00:30:28.640
I'd love to have Jalen Carter.
00:30:31.839 --> 00:30:36.000
I didn't I didn't know I could feel that way, but when you said that, I was like, oh yeah.
00:30:36.319 --> 00:30:37.920
But Jalen Carter on this defense.
00:30:38.240 --> 00:30:39.279
Getting all tingly.
00:30:40.960 --> 00:30:41.920
I need to go.
00:30:42.000 --> 00:30:44.079
I I we need to pause the podcast.
00:30:44.160 --> 00:30:44.960
I'll be right back.
00:30:45.119 --> 00:30:45.519
All right.
00:30:45.680 --> 00:30:48.799
Uh let's talk about the let's let's uh power through the rest of this.
00:30:48.880 --> 00:30:51.279
Lamar looking like he's gonna miss some time.
00:30:51.440 --> 00:30:55.519
I watched this uh sports doctor guy, always makes videos after players get hurt.
00:30:55.599 --> 00:30:58.799
He called the ankle injury and he said, guys coming back right away.
00:30:58.880 --> 00:31:01.519
I've had have re-aggravated it and missed more time.
00:31:01.680 --> 00:31:09.279
I'm sure he wants to play, but we're probably talking about one or two week Snoop Huntley appearance for the Ravens, which feels like an every year occurrence at this point.
00:31:09.440 --> 00:31:10.240
Uh thoughts on that?
00:31:10.400 --> 00:31:11.440
Yeah, unfortunately.
00:31:11.680 --> 00:31:17.839
Omar's just been injury prone and I'd rather see him healthy than like last year it felt like he was rushed back.
00:31:17.920 --> 00:31:19.279
And was that two years ago?
00:31:19.519 --> 00:31:24.000
No, it was it was, I mean, it's probably happened more than once, but yeah, where he just doesn't look the same.
00:31:24.160 --> 00:31:24.559
Mm-hmm.
00:31:24.720 --> 00:31:29.599
Yeah, no, it was last year because he kept taking all those sacks in the backfield where he normally escapes.
00:31:29.759 --> 00:31:35.440
So, yeah, I'd rather him be healthy um for this team, and I'm sure that yeah.
00:31:35.839 --> 00:31:36.559
They're three and one.
00:31:38.160 --> 00:31:39.440
Snoop's not bad.
00:31:39.599 --> 00:31:44.319
As far as backup quarterbacks go and this Raven system, like he can win some games.
00:31:45.119 --> 00:31:49.920
It's not ideal, but they have Atlanta, Cleveland the next two weeks.
00:31:50.079 --> 00:31:56.559
I think you can split that before and two and when Lamar comes back for Bengals, Bills, Jags.
00:31:56.880 --> 00:31:57.200
Yeah.
00:31:57.359 --> 00:32:00.079
But I you really don't want Lamar missing more time.
00:32:00.160 --> 00:32:09.839
So if he comes back for Atlanta and then he misses a month, that's when you start piling up losses to the Bengals, Bills, Jags, whoever's Atlanta in prime time, too.
00:32:11.039 --> 00:32:15.119
They're gonna let the great.
00:32:15.279 --> 00:32:16.480
We'll talk about that game tomorrow.
00:32:16.559 --> 00:32:19.599
Because the Ravens defense has been a little disappointing for me.
00:32:20.160 --> 00:32:25.680
Um, we talked about CJ Gardner Johnson taking a shot at uh Eftham Chisholm.
00:32:26.000 --> 00:32:28.799
Mark Vrabel took a shot back at CJ Gardner-Johnson.
00:32:28.960 --> 00:32:33.599
My favorite part about this was someone being like Vrabel after the offseason you've had.
00:32:33.759 --> 00:32:37.279
CJ doesn't seem like the type of guy to not mention it.
00:32:37.759 --> 00:32:39.839
So maybe just don't do this.
00:32:40.000 --> 00:32:45.039
So I'm curious to see if CJ actually claps back at him for uh the Rossini report.
00:32:45.119 --> 00:32:46.400
And I hope he does.
00:32:46.640 --> 00:32:47.759
I hope he does too.
00:32:47.920 --> 00:32:52.319
I mean, I'm I'm all here for Mike Vrabel, uh, what the fuck's her first name?
00:32:52.400 --> 00:32:54.240
Diana Rossini slander.
00:32:54.480 --> 00:32:55.759
I think the partners knew.
00:32:55.920 --> 00:32:57.519
I I stand for him on that.
00:32:57.680 --> 00:33:00.640
I think it was like uh whatever, don't ask, don't tell policy.
00:33:00.799 --> 00:33:02.400
Anyway, Joe Mixon.
00:33:03.680 --> 00:33:09.200
Um he got signed by the Seahawks, but then he didn't get signed by the Seahawks, or at least I thought he did.
00:33:09.279 --> 00:33:11.359
Uh they signed another guy to their practice squad.
00:33:11.440 --> 00:33:12.799
They're still looking for good running backs.
00:33:12.880 --> 00:33:14.000
He failed the physical.
00:33:14.160 --> 00:33:20.160
There's a guy that had a weird foot injury at a kid's birthday party a couple years ago, and he just hasn't been able to come back.
00:33:20.240 --> 00:33:23.759
It's kind of sad because he was hooping last time he played with the Texans.
00:33:24.160 --> 00:33:28.000
Um, but yeah, it looks like Joe Mixon's career might be over with this one.
00:33:28.160 --> 00:33:28.400
Yeah.
00:33:28.559 --> 00:33:28.720
Yeah.
00:33:28.960 --> 00:33:31.759
Failed physical, and yeah, they decided not to sign him.
00:33:31.839 --> 00:33:38.880
And I j I just don't know why they I mean, I think they should be all right with with uh Wilson, the guy who is it Manual?
00:33:39.200 --> 00:33:40.240
I think they just want options.
00:33:40.319 --> 00:33:42.559
It's Emmanuel Wilson, the former Packers running back.
00:33:42.799 --> 00:33:44.559
No, I thought Wilson played really well.
00:33:44.720 --> 00:33:45.279
I agree.
00:33:45.440 --> 00:33:48.079
And then they have Helani for like passing downs.
00:33:48.240 --> 00:33:53.279
I I totally on board with you, but I think adding a guy like Joe Mixon gives you the opportunity.
00:33:53.440 --> 00:33:56.720
Oh, maybe he's ready, but uh, they just want bodies.
00:33:56.880 --> 00:33:58.720
Like price went down, Charbonnet.
00:33:58.799 --> 00:34:01.519
I think that injury's taken longer to heal than they wanted it to.
00:34:01.680 --> 00:34:03.759
But yeah, Mixon at 30 years old.
00:34:04.000 --> 00:34:05.279
Unfortunately, it's probably done.
00:34:05.359 --> 00:34:05.680
Yeah.
00:34:05.839 --> 00:34:06.720
I just had a shock.
00:34:06.799 --> 00:34:10.159
Uh his birthday is 96, and I was like, how old does that make him?
00:34:10.239 --> 00:34:12.320
And I went 30, and I'm like, oh, he's old.
00:34:12.400 --> 00:34:13.679
And I was like, fuck.
00:34:15.440 --> 00:34:17.039
Because I turned 29 tomorrow.
00:34:17.199 --> 00:34:18.480
Will's about a month away.
00:34:18.559 --> 00:34:23.599
Like it 30-year-olds seem so old, and we are a year away.
00:34:23.840 --> 00:34:24.320
Yeah.
00:34:24.480 --> 00:34:24.800
Yeah.
00:34:25.599 --> 00:34:26.480
You know what I mean?
00:34:26.639 --> 00:34:28.719
But anyway, never feel older.
00:34:28.960 --> 00:34:30.400
I always asked my dad about that.
00:34:30.559 --> 00:34:34.719
Uh, last thing, D'Amico Ryan's taking back defensive play calling duties.
00:34:34.880 --> 00:34:36.159
I forget who had it.
00:34:36.400 --> 00:34:37.519
Uh, Matt Burke.
00:34:37.760 --> 00:34:38.960
So bye-bye, Burke.
00:34:39.119 --> 00:34:42.159
Uh Texans are on four, and the defense has been terrible.
00:34:42.320 --> 00:34:50.880
I think sometimes I get why coaches don't do it sooner, but this was something they could have sniffed out probably before they played the Cowboys.
00:34:51.039 --> 00:34:53.679
So, some questionable coaching stuff from the Texans.
00:34:53.840 --> 00:34:56.880
Situationally, the going forward on fourth and running up the middle.
00:34:56.960 --> 00:35:02.079
There's definitely been some bad coach stuff, but I think D'Amico Ryan's overall is a very good coach.
00:35:02.320 --> 00:35:02.559
Yeah.
00:35:02.639 --> 00:35:03.519
Yeah, I do too.
00:35:03.679 --> 00:35:06.559
I th I think he will actually help fix this defense.
00:35:06.719 --> 00:35:12.320
Um yeah, it just felt like something stunk, and I'm hoping he can turn it around.
00:35:12.639 --> 00:35:20.960
Yeah, I am in their divisions and I kind of hope that they turn it around after our game, but I don't know if you heard me.
00:35:21.199 --> 00:35:22.159
You were like something stunk.
00:35:22.239 --> 00:35:25.599
I was like, yeah, their past defense has been brutal.
00:35:25.840 --> 00:35:27.679
C C D Lamb at a career day.
00:35:28.239 --> 00:35:31.119
Uh but yeah, I think we're ready for Thursday night football.
00:35:31.199 --> 00:35:31.679
Let's do it.
00:35:31.840 --> 00:35:34.800
Thursday, October 8th, on my birthday.
00:35:35.039 --> 00:35:37.199
Happy 29th birthday to myself.
00:35:37.360 --> 00:35:40.480
Uh, I did have some of the best news I've had in a long time.
00:35:40.639 --> 00:35:42.239
Best birthday gift ever.
00:35:42.400 --> 00:35:45.360
Kind of a random happenstance of life stuff.
00:35:45.440 --> 00:35:48.239
Uh, we don't need to get into it here, but I'm thrilled.
00:35:48.400 --> 00:35:50.000
29, never felt better.
00:35:50.159 --> 00:35:55.199
But we have the Bucks and Jalen Daniels going to Dallas and playing the Cowboys.
00:35:55.360 --> 00:35:59.679
Minus seven and a half, minus eight and a half for Will over there on FanDuel.
00:35:59.920 --> 00:36:04.079
We always pick the games on the Bovada spread just to keep things consistent.
00:36:04.320 --> 00:36:07.760
I can't access FanDuel, but well, this should be a bloodbath.
00:36:07.840 --> 00:36:09.199
I'm worried the line's not bigger.
00:36:09.280 --> 00:36:10.159
I brought this up.
00:36:10.400 --> 00:36:12.400
Every stat is Cowboys.
00:36:12.559 --> 00:36:16.639
Bucks are 3-14 against the spread on Thursday night since 1980.
00:36:16.800 --> 00:36:20.719
Todd Bulls is 5-13 against the spread in primetime.
00:36:21.599 --> 00:36:27.440
Uh Bulls is one and six against the spread over the last three seasons in primetime.
00:36:27.519 --> 00:36:30.719
The Bucks have failed to cover in 13 consecutive games.
00:36:30.880 --> 00:36:33.679
Technically, we picked them at three and a half.
00:36:33.920 --> 00:36:39.599
Uh, but the public, I think, the everybody had him at three last week against the Packers, so it was a push.
00:36:39.760 --> 00:36:41.119
The Bucs are just so bad.
00:36:41.280 --> 00:36:44.000
Todd Bowles should be fired already.
00:36:44.400 --> 00:36:50.559
And uh the Cowboys love going over, uh, uh, at least with Dak Prescott against the NFC.
00:36:50.639 --> 00:36:54.639
So I think this is a lot of points from the Cowboys.
00:36:54.880 --> 00:37:01.119
Not so many points from the Bucs, though they probably do score a little bit because the Cowboys' defense isn't great.
00:37:01.280 --> 00:37:05.760
I'm plugging my nose and I'm betting minus six and a half.
00:37:05.840 --> 00:37:10.400
And I think it, I think it's a pretty substantial bet that you can make here.
00:37:10.480 --> 00:37:12.079
But uh thoughts on this game, Will.
00:37:12.239 --> 00:37:12.719
I like that.
00:37:12.800 --> 00:37:15.119
Yeah, I I I like the tease down.
00:37:15.280 --> 00:37:19.840
Um, I will say the NFL gave you a blessing on your birthday with this game.
00:37:21.519 --> 00:37:23.920
Yeah, this is all I wanted to see.
00:37:24.480 --> 00:37:30.320
Dude, uh, dude, a couple years ago, I had I I got an NFL Sunday birthday.
00:37:30.400 --> 00:37:30.960
It was awesome.
00:37:31.039 --> 00:37:32.000
But anyway, go on.
00:37:32.239 --> 00:37:33.280
Oh, those are the best.
00:37:33.440 --> 00:37:33.760
Yeah.
00:37:34.079 --> 00:37:39.519
Um Cowboys earned a huge comeback victory over the Tech over the Texans last Sunday.
00:37:39.679 --> 00:37:56.320
They should be able to kind of ride that wave of motivation and and just be able to kind of hit their stride, have little issue beating this Bucks team, who was not very good this past weekend on offense against Green Bay, who's not had much of a had much of a defense this season.
00:37:56.559 --> 00:37:58.400
Jalen Daniels under center.
00:37:58.480 --> 00:38:01.280
Uh he had one pick, should have thrown two.
00:38:01.360 --> 00:38:06.159
I think there's a lot of props we can take advantage of, and I I just I'll do like the minus six and a half.
00:38:06.320 --> 00:38:09.679
I think it's I don't know how it's not eight and a half, nine.
00:38:10.320 --> 00:38:11.360
That's my only concern.
00:38:11.840 --> 00:38:17.119
That's literally my only concern is that this game should probably be more like nine and a half, and it's still probably like it.
00:38:17.840 --> 00:38:20.239
Because Todd Bowles gets blown out in prime time.
00:38:20.480 --> 00:38:30.880
Like they're failing to cover, uh, they're failing to cover on prime time by 6.4 points in the Todd Bowles era over the last three seasons.
00:38:31.039 --> 00:38:36.559
Uh they're 0-8 against the spread the week after facing a team with a losing record since the start of last season.
00:38:36.639 --> 00:38:37.440
That's a weird step.
00:38:37.519 --> 00:38:39.519
But they're also just bad at covering the spread.
00:38:39.840 --> 00:38:48.880
So, yeah, the rookie quarterback, I think if there's any week that the Cowboys have, you know, opportunities to make the defense look good, this is one of them.
00:38:49.039 --> 00:38:51.039
And then also first half overs.
00:38:52.239 --> 00:38:56.719
And Dak Prescott gets the NFC over the last four seasons, 26-6.
00:38:57.039 --> 00:38:58.719
Honestly, we got to start betting that.
00:38:58.960 --> 00:39:01.119
Because that is a crazy percentage.
00:39:01.280 --> 00:39:02.159
First half over.
00:39:02.239 --> 00:39:02.719
I like that.
00:39:02.960 --> 00:39:04.239
Dak against the NFC, yeah.
00:39:04.400 --> 00:39:05.119
First half over.
00:39:05.199 --> 00:39:08.320
Because it wouldn't have hit last week with the Texans, probably.
00:39:08.400 --> 00:39:11.920
They're down 16 to 6, but yeah, they're killing it.
00:39:12.000 --> 00:39:14.239
I like the Cowboys score a lot of points in this game.
00:39:14.480 --> 00:39:18.880
Uh Dak is close as a favorite of six points or more in prime time 12 times.
00:39:19.119 --> 00:39:22.079
Cowboys are 12-0 straight up, nine and three against the spread.
00:39:22.239 --> 00:39:34.079
I don't like teasing teams like first thing in the week and then having to wait till Sunday, but if you did want to throw the uh Cowboys on one leg of a teaser, I think it's a pretty good bet as well.
00:39:34.239 --> 00:39:37.280
So system play has worked the last two weeks.
00:39:37.440 --> 00:39:42.639
We don't have quite the same level of system here, except Bucks are terrible and Bucks don't cover the spread.
00:39:42.800 --> 00:39:46.559
So let's see if we can hit three straight Thursday night system plays.
00:39:46.719 --> 00:39:48.320
I really like that first half over.
00:39:48.400 --> 00:39:50.079
It's sitting at 24 and a half.
00:39:50.239 --> 00:39:53.440
Cowboys minus six out six and a half for that first half.
00:39:53.519 --> 00:39:56.880
And their total points is at over 14 and a half.
00:39:57.039 --> 00:39:58.159
Kind of like all of those.
00:39:58.320 --> 00:39:58.719
Yeah.
00:39:58.880 --> 00:40:01.679
I'm seeing points at 28 and a half.
00:40:01.840 --> 00:40:05.599
If you're on a book where you can move it down to 27 and a half, I don't see why you wouldn't do that.
00:40:05.679 --> 00:40:07.519
But I think they blow that out of the water.
00:40:07.599 --> 00:40:09.679
I'm betting the 28 and a half.
00:40:10.480 --> 00:40:12.159
For the team total for the game?
00:40:12.400 --> 00:40:13.599
Yeah, team total for the game.
00:40:13.760 --> 00:40:15.119
Team total for the first half.
00:40:15.280 --> 00:40:20.239
I I think there's a chance, you know, we go all in on the Cowboys and we get slaughtered.
00:40:20.320 --> 00:40:22.239
But like, has the Bucks defense been great?
00:40:22.320 --> 00:40:23.840
They've been opportunistic at times.
00:40:24.000 --> 00:40:35.280
Like they've they forced some turnovers against the Packers late that were able to cover that three and a half that we picked it at or push, whatever, whatever you had the the game at, but the Packers are moving the ball, and the Packers' offense has been terrible.
00:40:35.360 --> 00:40:36.239
They can't block.
00:40:36.880 --> 00:40:41.360
Like that this is I know it's a short week, but this Cowboys offense looks like they're locked and loaded.
00:40:41.440 --> 00:40:42.400
What'd they score?
00:40:42.559 --> 00:40:45.679
They scored 31 against the Ravens, should have been to overtime.
00:40:45.760 --> 00:40:52.400
They scored 37 against the Commanders, they scored 34 against the Texans, and they scored 20 against the Giants, and the Giants kicked their ass week one.
00:40:52.559 --> 00:40:55.840
I think they're more like the team we've seen the past three weeks.
00:40:56.400 --> 00:41:00.000
And I think we're going to see them squash the Bucks here.
00:41:00.320 --> 00:41:02.480
At what point does Todd Bulls get fired?
00:41:02.639 --> 00:41:03.920
I think that's also a question.
00:41:04.159 --> 00:41:06.480
I don't think they'll fire him before Baker comes back.
00:41:06.559 --> 00:41:10.079
But then when Baker comes back and they still shit the bet, then they'll fire him.
00:41:10.320 --> 00:41:10.960
Fair enough.
00:41:11.119 --> 00:41:14.400
The uh the Bucs defense also really hasn't been tested.
00:41:14.639 --> 00:41:21.360
Packers score 17, but like I said, they turned it over deep in the red zone multiple times and they can't block.
00:41:21.519 --> 00:41:23.840
Zero sacks on Jordan Love.
00:41:24.719 --> 00:41:26.320
Um, what else happened?
00:41:26.400 --> 00:41:33.440
They played the Vikings, who scored 23 points on them, which is a near miracle with how bad the Vikings' offense is.
00:41:33.599 --> 00:41:37.039
And one of seven of those were on a punt return touchdown.
00:41:37.119 --> 00:41:41.679
They revitalized Deshaun Watson's career in the second half of that Browns game.
00:41:41.840 --> 00:41:42.480
Yeah.
00:41:43.039 --> 00:41:45.440
And uh the Bengals scored a bunch of points on them.
00:41:45.920 --> 00:41:46.159
So yeah.
00:41:46.480 --> 00:41:48.880
Over-unders sitting at 47 and a half.
00:41:49.119 --> 00:41:50.079
I like the over.
00:41:50.719 --> 00:41:54.960
I think the Cowboys, if they really, really want to, they could get this done themselves.
00:41:55.199 --> 00:42:02.480
But with how the Cowboys' defense has been, their inability to generate sacks, I think Tampa should be able to move the chains.
00:42:02.639 --> 00:42:03.599
So, yeah.
00:42:03.840 --> 00:42:05.920
I think it's gonna be another shootout.
00:42:06.079 --> 00:42:09.440
But yeah, double T spot, too.
00:42:09.599 --> 00:42:10.960
It's a great double T spot.
00:42:11.039 --> 00:42:13.119
I'm literally putting that in as you were talking.
00:42:13.360 --> 00:42:19.360
But yeah, great double T's down to minus one and a half over 42.
00:42:19.599 --> 00:42:23.599
I will say it's the only thing I'm concerned about is how easy this looks.
00:42:23.840 --> 00:42:27.519
But we had two kind of easy system plays last two Thursday nights.
00:42:27.679 --> 00:42:30.800
Maybe Thursday night is where we uh, you know, make our bread and butter.
00:42:31.039 --> 00:42:32.400
You have a same gamer or anything?
00:42:32.639 --> 00:42:36.880
Yeah, I got some I got some props and then I got a a same game parlay for us.
00:42:36.960 --> 00:42:38.079
Uh cool, cool, cool.
00:42:38.239 --> 00:42:40.880
Will you uh uh send that to me?
00:42:40.960 --> 00:42:41.039
Yeah.
00:42:41.199 --> 00:42:42.719
Just all your props or whatever.
00:42:42.800 --> 00:42:44.239
I'll just put it into the app.
00:42:44.480 --> 00:42:44.719
Okay.
00:42:44.880 --> 00:42:48.079
Yeah, so I already mentioned that Cowboys team total over.
00:42:48.159 --> 00:42:52.000
I think you tease it down, or I think you mentioned it, but yeah, it's sitting at 28 and a half.
00:42:52.079 --> 00:42:55.519
I think you tease that down maybe 26 and a half.
00:42:55.760 --> 00:42:59.199
Um I I think Pickens is gonna go off in this game.
00:42:59.280 --> 00:43:02.559
They haven't really gotten him as involved as he would like to be.
00:43:02.639 --> 00:43:07.280
Um, so I really like his over four and a half receptions and over 60 yards receiving.
00:43:07.440 --> 00:43:09.360
Probably like the receiving a little bit more.
00:43:09.519 --> 00:43:15.360
Um Dak to go over 250 seems like a mortal lock against this defense.
00:43:15.679 --> 00:43:20.800
And then uh I like a I also really like a Jalen Daniels interception.
00:43:20.960 --> 00:43:22.880
It's at minus 192.
00:43:23.039 --> 00:43:25.519
Um really, really like those odds.
00:43:25.760 --> 00:43:29.440
I think they're gonna try to get either Godwin or Abuka involved.
00:43:29.599 --> 00:43:34.880
They mentioned it after the loss last this past week that those guys just have not been getting enough touches.
00:43:34.960 --> 00:43:37.360
They're not involved in this offense like they should be.
00:43:37.519 --> 00:43:43.519
I like one of the two to go over three receptions in my uh same gamer that I have here.
00:43:43.599 --> 00:43:45.119
Um I picked Godwin.
00:43:45.199 --> 00:43:46.719
So I'll go ahead and read that out.
00:43:46.800 --> 00:43:54.000
It's Godwin three plus receptions, Dak over 250, Pickens over 60, and that Cowboys team total over.
00:43:54.079 --> 00:43:55.760
I brought it down to 24 and a half.
00:43:55.920 --> 00:43:57.360
That's a plus two ninety four.
00:43:57.679 --> 00:43:58.480
I like it a lot.
00:43:58.719 --> 00:43:59.360
Nice.
00:44:00.320 --> 00:44:03.039
Uh, didn't you hit yours last week, or am I wrong about that?
00:44:03.199 --> 00:44:06.320
Uh the same gamer, Browns uh Steelers?
00:44:06.480 --> 00:44:07.280
I feel like you hit.
00:44:07.440 --> 00:44:08.480
I'm pretty sure I did.
00:44:08.639 --> 00:44:09.039
Yeah.
00:44:09.199 --> 00:44:12.719
So let's go back to back weeks here with Bucks Cowboys.
00:44:12.960 --> 00:44:15.440
Did you hear actually the Raiders?
00:44:15.599 --> 00:44:16.880
It's not like a rumor.
00:44:16.960 --> 00:44:18.719
We're looking for a wide receiver, right?
00:44:18.800 --> 00:44:22.079
Clink Kubiak is is pissed about the receiver room.
00:44:22.159 --> 00:44:24.719
They paid Jalen Naylor all this money to play him on the outside.
00:44:24.880 --> 00:44:25.760
It really hasn't worked out.
00:44:25.920 --> 00:44:27.199
Besh got hurt.
00:44:27.360 --> 00:44:30.000
Uh, but apparently Godwin's on the list.
00:44:30.480 --> 00:44:32.079
Uh, who else was on the list?
00:44:32.320 --> 00:44:37.920
Marv, which sounds bad, but the idea is you bring in a top five pick for a fifth-round pick.
00:44:38.159 --> 00:44:38.559
Yeah.
00:44:38.880 --> 00:44:45.119
You just add talent to uh and Marv is is isn't great, but our receiver room is so bad.
00:44:45.280 --> 00:44:46.800
I think he actually might improve it.
00:44:46.960 --> 00:44:49.199
And he did have 850 yards as a rookie.
00:44:49.280 --> 00:44:51.039
I'm defending Marvin Harrison Jr.
00:44:51.360 --> 00:45:03.679
That's how uh excited I was to hear we might get a receiver, but Godwin you brought up, and Godwin was on the list too because Spy Tech was in Tampa Bay during their Super Bowl run and he loves Godwin.
00:45:03.920 --> 00:45:07.280
There's like two other guys that I'm struggling to think of right now.
00:45:07.599 --> 00:45:10.239
You can have Jacoby back, but you're gonna have to pay.
00:45:10.480 --> 00:45:11.519
No, BTJ.
00:45:11.760 --> 00:45:12.480
BTJ.
00:45:12.639 --> 00:45:13.440
Thanks for reminding me.
00:45:13.760 --> 00:45:14.639
Hey, BTJ.
00:45:14.880 --> 00:45:15.840
We won't let him go yet.
00:45:16.079 --> 00:45:17.199
BTJ for a second.
00:45:17.280 --> 00:45:20.400
No, I think uh he doesn't really fit in with what y'all want to do.
00:45:20.480 --> 00:45:23.440
It's a different regime than than the one that drafted him.
00:45:23.760 --> 00:45:32.880
I I heard BTJ, and then the last guy was uh oh, is it was it a Bronco?
00:45:33.119 --> 00:45:37.119
So like a Cortland Sutton, but they probably wouldn't trade in division.
00:45:37.760 --> 00:45:38.320
Something like that.
00:45:39.119 --> 00:45:41.360
It was a Sutton-like character.
00:45:41.760 --> 00:45:42.239
Judy.
00:45:42.960 --> 00:45:43.679
Judy, I think.
00:45:43.920 --> 00:45:44.559
It was Judy.
00:45:44.719 --> 00:45:45.679
Yep, it was Judy.
00:45:45.760 --> 00:45:47.280
So that was our big five.
00:45:47.440 --> 00:45:50.239
And I'm super excited and thrilled to see if the Raiders get one.
00:45:50.320 --> 00:45:51.760
So I'll be rooting for Chris Godwin.
00:45:52.000 --> 00:45:53.119
That's kind of my whole thing.
00:45:53.440 --> 00:45:53.679
Alright.
00:45:53.920 --> 00:45:54.880
Anything else, Will?
00:45:55.119 --> 00:46:00.719
I did miss last week because Fannon didn't catch that overthrown ball by Deshaun.
00:46:01.039 --> 00:46:01.599
Oh, yeah.
00:46:01.679 --> 00:46:03.119
So we'll get it back this week.
00:46:03.360 --> 00:46:05.920
I hit the week before on that Falcons Packers.
00:46:06.000 --> 00:46:07.920
So this is yeah, bounce back week.
00:46:08.079 --> 00:46:08.719

00:46:08.800 --> 00:46:10.639
That was Deshaun just blowing your parlay.
00:46:10.880 --> 00:46:11.840
And nearly the game.
00:46:12.000 --> 00:46:12.320

00:46:23.679 --> 00:46:29.039
And uh give you the rest of our favorite bets from week five in the NFL season.
00:46:29.119 --> 00:46:38.719
We're officially at the quarter mark after the noon, one o'clock, whatever your early slate is, uh, on Sunday of the season.
00:46:38.880 --> 00:46:40.639
A quarter of the games will have been played.
