a carry, which is I think what what the team was going for. 00:05:07.360 --> 00:05:12.240 It's like their mindset was, well, 3.5 yards a carry times three is a first down. 00:05:12.720 --> 00:05:13.360 Yeah. 00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:20.800 3.5 yards a carry times uh three times an entire drive is an eight-minute drive. 00:05:20.879 --> 00:05:21.680 That's our game. 00:05:21.920 --> 00:05:22.240 Yeah. 00:05:22.480 --> 00:05:27.680 Well, I don't know if I don't think his average for his career was 3.5 yards a carry. 00:05:27.839 --> 00:05:29.040 I think it was closer to four. 00:05:29.120 --> 00:05:29.920 It might have been like three point. 00:05:31.199 --> 00:05:49.680 But yeah, I mean, and what what what I found interesting in listen to what we listened to last night was I mean the early 80s was a time in which uh coaches were experimenting and introducing, you know, past passing offenses. 00:05:50.079 --> 00:06:04.319 And you know, with Don Coriel and and and uh and the Chargers and even uh Bill Walsh's uh West Coast offense and Joe Gibbs, of course, came from San Diego under Don Coriel. 00:06:04.480 --> 00:06:07.279 So he tried to introduce that his first season. 00:06:07.600 --> 00:06:13.279 And I found that interesting, his first season with the Redskins, and he was smart enough to go, you know what? 00:06:13.439 --> 00:06:15.759 We don't have the personnel for that. 00:06:16.079 --> 00:06:20.879 And we have the personnel for what I would call old school football. 00:06:21.040 --> 00:06:21.199 Right. 00:06:21.439 --> 00:06:29.759 Let's run it down your throat because he had John Riggins and and the Hogs, and so he adapted, and I think that's what made it all work back then. 00:06:30.079 --> 00:06:30.639 Right. 00:06:31.600 --> 00:06:34.240 Yeah, I mean it it was it was fun. 00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:42.000 Uh it was fun just kind of time traveling to an era of good Washington football for myself. 00:06:42.319 --> 00:06:51.759 Um but hey, before we get too far into the pod, just to kind of set the expectation and uh set a little bit of an agenda for for everybody. 00:06:51.920 --> 00:06:55.199 Uh obviously we're we're right we're into the first quarter right now. 00:06:55.360 --> 00:07:04.160 Dad and I are just gonna kind of BS uh and talk about a variety of different things until we meet up with Michael, and his mom is joining us for the tailgate today. 00:07:04.399 --> 00:07:18.480 And then second quarter of the podcast, I'm gonna pop over into Michael's vehicle as dad caravans down there with us, and uh we're gonna get into our can't lose locks and obviously our commute breakdown against the Rams. 00:07:18.720 --> 00:07:22.000 And then the fourth quarter, Dad is gonna jump back into the car with us. 00:07:22.079 --> 00:07:25.120 He's gonna drop off his car at a park and ride down there. 00:07:25.360 --> 00:07:35.279 Uh dad lives in Ocean City, so we're we're moving east, and so he's gonna continue to move east once we get to the stadium uh as opposed to coming back. 00:07:35.439 --> 00:07:38.879 So jumping in a park and ride. 00:07:39.040 --> 00:07:43.600 Uh dad's gonna come into the fourth quarter where we got some hail, hail no, hail yeses. 00:07:43.920 --> 00:07:48.480 And then uh obviously we're gonna be in right into the red zone lot. 00:07:48.800 --> 00:07:55.279 Uh give you guys the report for what the uh what the tailgate lot looks like going into everything. 00:07:55.519 --> 00:08:04.079 So um with that being said, first quarter, Dad, I want to get you your thoughts on a variety of different things. 00:08:04.399 --> 00:08:08.000 Um let's just start things off with the state of the NFL. 00:08:08.160 --> 00:08:14.720 You are your last podcast was week zero um with our predictions and everything. 00:08:14.959 --> 00:08:19.519 Uh what do you think about the NFL uh this year so far? 00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:31.920 Well, I don't think there's I mean, there's not as many teams that stand out to be a solid lock, you know, Super Bowl uh fix. 00:08:32.240 --> 00:08:35.200 I mean, there's a lot of parody right from the beginning of the season. 00:08:35.279 --> 00:08:40.480 I mean, there's a couple of six and two, and maybe one uh team that has one loss. 00:08:40.799 --> 00:08:46.480 Outside of that, there's a bunch of teams with you know multiple losses. 00:08:46.639 --> 00:09:02.720 I I would I would count, you know, you know, all the Rams being one of those big big surprises, so obviously being the the kind of the preseason Super Bowl favorites on on paper. 00:09:03.200 --> 00:09:09.679 Um at least that's what they were perceived to be by a lot of people ahead of week one. 00:09:10.000 --> 00:09:22.720 And I guess this is the perfect opportunity to mention that Miles Garrett and Aaron Donald are gonna be seeing their their first game as teammates today, and it just so happens to be against us. 00:09:22.879 --> 00:09:26.240 But as you predicted in week zero, Donald hadn't been all that. 00:09:26.399 --> 00:09:26.639 No. 00:09:26.960 --> 00:09:28.159 I mean, he's been good. 00:09:28.559 --> 00:09:29.360 He hadn't been great. 00:09:29.519 --> 00:09:29.600 No. 00:09:29.919 --> 00:09:34.320 He hasn't been like the Aaron Donald of old, and that's exactly what you predicted he'd be. 00:09:34.559 --> 00:09:42.320 Uh but Rams sitting at 4-4 uh have lost some games this year that they definitely shouldn't have. 00:09:42.559 --> 00:09:48.960 And I wonder if they've won some games that they shouldn't have because they've been in some close matchups as well. 00:09:49.360 --> 00:09:56.240 Um but yeah, and the other thing I've noticed about the first portion of the year is the quarterback injuries. 00:09:56.480 --> 00:10:02.720 Obviously, there's been a lot of teams that have missed some time at uh with their quarterback. 00:10:02.879 --> 00:10:23.759 Um Lamar Jackson being the latest one to the list to lose for the season, which I am disappointed with um for the sake of Tom and all the other Ravens

fan friends that I that I have because I've kind of been there, you know. 00:10:23.919 --> 00:10:31.679 Your guy comes back, and then on the first play of the game, then he comes back, banks his bum off in some other guy's hand, and it's done. 00:10:31.919 --> 00:10:33.679 Uh, it's just so unfortunate. 00:10:33.840 --> 00:10:38.240 But no, you put that on the same list of Jalen Hurts, obviously. 00:10:38.399 --> 00:10:44.559 Jaden has seen some timeout, Caleb Williams has seen some time out, Baker Mayfield has seen some time out. 00:10:44.720 --> 00:10:47.360 There's been a lot of injuries at quarterback so far. 00:10:47.840 --> 00:10:50.720 Um the Giants quarterback. 00:10:51.039 --> 00:10:52.320 Giants quarterback. 00:10:52.480 --> 00:10:52.799 Yeah. 00:10:52.960 --> 00:10:53.840 Oh, you're right. 00:10:54.080 --> 00:10:54.559 Yeah. 00:10:54.799 --> 00:10:56.879 We gotta hope that he continues to suck. 00:10:57.039 --> 00:11:07.440 You know, we could be one week away from having a a duel to see who's at the top of the division between the Giants and I, or Giants and us next Thursday. 00:11:07.679 --> 00:11:19.519 Um if they lose today against the Eagles and we win today against the Rams, then next week's uh Thursday night football game uh in the Meadowlands will be for the top of the division. 00:11:19.600 --> 00:11:20.320 Isn't that crazy? 00:11:20.559 --> 00:11:23.039 It is two weeks ago we were thrown in the town. 00:11:24.159 --> 00:11:34.159 Well, it brings me back to that week zero podcast and our predictions for the season and how ridiculous now looking back. 00:11:34.399 --> 00:11:37.360 Those predictions were they certainly were very biased. 00:11:37.919 --> 00:11:40.000 11, 6, 12, and 5, that's where we were at. 00:11:40.240 --> 00:11:49.279 Well, even even my comment of thinking that the whole NFC East could be Oh, maybe you remember that comment I said all of it. 00:11:49.679 --> 00:11:52.639 And and and just the opposite could also happen right now. 00:11:53.600 --> 00:11:56.879 The prediction I made was I think all of them are gonna have a winning record. 00:11:57.200 --> 00:12:00.480 And fact of the matter is, all of them could have a losing record. 00:12:00.720 --> 00:12:00.879 Right. 00:12:01.039 --> 00:12:06.799 So all those people that were listening back then and said, Boy, that was a ridiculous comment. 00:12:06.879 --> 00:12:18.000 Well, the who knows to you Well, depending upon how you how you view that take, you also said that there's going to be it's gonna be a close divisional race. 00:12:18.159 --> 00:12:18.480 Yeah. 00:12:18.799 --> 00:12:26.000 Um so from that respect, uh in the middle of the season here, you're you're you're pretty dead on. 00:12:26.320 --> 00:12:28.000 Uh pretty dead on. 00:12:28.320 --> 00:12:31.039 Like we talked about uh uh yesterday. 00:12:31.360 --> 00:12:39.840 I mean, any team in in the NFC East right now that goes on a three-game win streak, uh they're they're they're front runners. 00:12:40.000 --> 00:12:40.159 Yeah. 00:12:40.399 --> 00:12:46.879 You go on a three-game win streak now, and whoever it is, yeah, they're they're gonna be right at the top. 00:12:47.039 --> 00:12:47.279 Right. 00:12:47.440 --> 00:12:49.279 Hey, we need any coffee?

00:16:58.399 --> 00:17:07.920 I think the team is gonna be excited, the fans are gonna be excited, and I think they're gonna win, and they're gonna win one for the old diesel. 00:17:08.960 --> 00:17:10.559 All right, well, I think it's gonna be close. 00:17:10.880 --> 00:17:14.319 Win one for the old diesel is the driveway tank reaction. 00:17:14.480 --> 00:17:15.440 I like it. 00:17:15.759 --> 00:17:18.400 Um I like it. 00:17:18.640 --> 00:17:28.880 They were doing some ceremonial type things last night, and so I I it it appears as though the all the hogs are in town, and it appears as though Gibbs is in town. 00:17:28.960 --> 00:17:38.319 I don't know if they'll be on the field at halftime for the ceremony or anything, but uh it appears like they're all gonna be here to celebrate Riga, which is exciting. 00:17:38.559 --> 00:17:53.519 Um so your your road hazard, which we start looking at things from the lens of the commanders, what or who or what what's gonna be the thing that gets in the way of the commander's uh victory uh uh today? 00:17:53.759 --> 00:17:54.880 Two things. 00:17:55.279 --> 00:17:57.519 One, a slow start. 00:17:57.680 --> 00:18:03.680 Okay, that's gonna be a problem, and two, poor play by our our secondary. 00:18:04.559 --> 00:18:15.039 Because we've got a uh a matchup against Stafford and Puka Nakua that we haven't had in all season long as far as a a duo that dangerous. 00:18:15.200 --> 00:18:16.319 Yeah, no, I agree. 00:18:16.559 --> 00:18:26.960 And um, and we can't have a slow start, especially with uh uh uh Jane Daniels last week getting off to he can't he can't take his time to get warmed up this week. 00:18:27.039 --> 00:18:30.480 He needs to get he needs to get his accuracy down pat right from the get-go. 00:18:30.880 --> 00:18:41.119 Yeah, I'm hoping that was some uh I'm hoping that was a bye-week rust that we we saw in the first first half last year or last week. 00:18:41.279 --> 00:18:42.000 Uh rather. 00:18:42.160 --> 00:18:45.119 Um Yeah, he he didn't start off great. 00:18:45.279 --> 00:18:49.839 I looked at Michael at halftime, and I think he was like 11 for 21 or something like that. 00:18:50.079 --> 00:18:57.440 And it didn't feel great because he felt he felt off, but look, the guy's allowed to have a bad game. 00:18:57.680 --> 00:19:01.119 He's allowed to be a little bit off, especially in one half. 00:19:01.359 --> 00:19:06.000 Uh and he wasn't really getting much help, let's be honest, in the first quarter of that game. 00:19:06.160 --> 00:19:11.519 He didn't he wasn't getting much help to to get him out of some rustiness. 00:19:11.599 --> 00:19:14.400 I think everybody was a little bit rusty. 00:19:14.640 --> 00:19:28.079 But and of course, what you mentioned earlier, our left tackle is gonna be severely tested today with uh with um who's that guy coming back? 00:19:28.160 --> 00:19:28.799 I can't remember, man. 00:19:29.039 --> 00:19:29.440 Miles Garrett. 00:19:29.599 --> 00:19:33.839 Moz Garrett, yeah, with Moz Garrett coming back, it's gonna be it's gonna be a big, big test for him. 00:19:33.920 --> 00:19:34.960 So he's gotta play well. 00:19:35.200 --> 00:19:42.400 I'll be curious if he's back back or if they've got him on a on a pitch count or a rotation. 00:19:42.799 --> 00:19:54.319 Um I'm I'm just curious because I I'm not I'm not fully convinced he's gonna see the same volume of of snaps that he saw uh when he wasn't interim. 00:19:54.400 --> 00:20:00.240 So I don't think he's gonna be in every down um like they paid him and brought him in to be. 00:20:00.720 --> 00:20:10.160 Uh alright, your your fast lane take, what is going to get us in the fast lane to a victory over the Rams today?

things play themselves out. 00:25:23.759 --> 00:25:32.880 Look, if he puts together a seven, eight game winning streak and does some damage in the playoffs, then you know, he's he's back on board, in my opinion. 00:25:33.039 --> 00:25:35.200 Everybody's allowed to make a mistake or two. 00:25:35.599 --> 00:25:47.119 If if you lose a game but win but win twelve of them, you know, I mean uh Yeah, but those first six games were mighty rough, and I think that's what you get with DQ. 00:25:47.519 --> 00:25:50.960 So anyway, let's move on to the topic at hand that you want to talk about. 00:25:51.279 --> 00:25:51.759 That's true. 00:25:51.920 --> 00:25:55.200 Well, I don't really have any specific topics at hand. 00:25:55.440 --> 00:26:07.359 Um we were just kind of BSing a little bit about about the Ravens and uh Lamar going going down and them trading for Jacoby Brissett. 00:26:07.519 --> 00:26:11.759 And you had you just said like they'll probably get rid of him. 00:26:12.079 --> 00:26:21.440 Yeah, there I saw somewhere, like I said, I don't remember where, but there's already speculation that they might get rid of him because he's been injured the last several seasons. 00:26:21.599 --> 00:26:27.759 I mean Well, since you've made it so apparent that your opinion is so different from organizational opinions. 00:26:28.079 --> 00:26:30.319 Uh this is not a shop, so no. 00:26:30.799 --> 00:26:33.839 Well, I mean, do you think that's what they should do? 00:26:33.920 --> 00:26:37.680 Or are you just are you just mentioning that's some reports that you saw? 00:26:37.920 --> 00:26:41.359 Uh right now I'm just mentioning because I don't think they will. 00:26:41.519 --> 00:26:43.920 Because No, I didn't ask if you think they will. 00:26:44.079 --> 00:26:46.319 I asked, do you think they should? 00:26:48.079 --> 00:26:51.359 No, because right now they don't have anyone to replace it with. 00:26:51.599 --> 00:26:51.920 Right. 00:26:52.160 --> 00:26:56.400 Because if you get rid of him, then it's like a whole rebuild for that team. 00:26:56.640 --> 00:27:02.400 Because that team is centered or much like for us, our team is centered around JD. 00:27:02.960 --> 00:27:05.680 So, uh what you got something to say? 00:27:05.839 --> 00:27:06.480 Yeah, I do. 00:27:06.640 --> 00:27:10.880 Because JD's been injured the last couple seasons. 00:27:11.119 --> 00:27:16.640 So if you carry him to Lamar, then you ought to get rid of JD. 00:27:16.799 --> 00:27:18.400 Well, I wouldn't. 00:27:19.279 --> 00:27:19.599 Okay? 00:27:20.000 --> 00:27:20.160 Okay. 00:27:20.400 --> 00:27:21.039 I wouldn't. 00:27:21.279 --> 00:27:25.039 But you're saying because Lamar has been injured the last couple things. 00:27:25.440 --> 00:27:27.440 Well, what about JD with his elbow? 00:27:27.599 --> 00:27:30.960 Well, Lamar's also been in the league longer, but that's fine. 00:27:31.200 --> 00:27:33.119 I'll just say No, she's got some good. 00:27:33.599 --> 00:27:36.240 She's she's bringing up some good points, Michael. 00:27:36.319 --> 00:27:41.359 We'll call this the the burger boil over up here up front. 00:27:41.519 --> 00:27:43.359 Uh burger boy. 00:27:47.279 --> 00:27:50.880 Um no, I mean, look, they they're not that dissimilar. 00:27:51.119 --> 00:28:04.000 I mean, unless you're unless you're on that bandwagon, uh, which I know some people are starting to murmur these days, but unless you're of the opinion that maybe we shouldn't consider uh signing Jayton. 00:28:04.480 --> 00:28:06.319 No, it no, you can't do that. 00:28:06.559 --> 00:28:07.839 Look, here's my thing. 00:28:08.079 --> 00:28:14.079 If you've identified that you've got a quarterback that's uh top ten in the league, you re-sign him. 00:28:14.319 --> 00:28:19.839 You re-sign him, you don't bitch about him, you let him make some a couple mistakes here and there. 00:28:20.000 --> 00:28:22.960 If he's a top ten guy, you sign him. 00:28:23.039 --> 00:28:27.599 Uh hopefully to a hopefully to a team-friendly deal. 00:28:27.759 --> 00:28:30.400 If it's a good time, but if it's not, it is what it is. 00:28:30.640 --> 00:28:40.240 If anything, the argument is he's not developing perhaps the way he should, because of the way DQ is and the coaching staff are coaching him. 00:28:40.480 --> 00:28:40.720 No. 00:28:41.200 --> 00:28:44.160 He's not developing at the pace that he should. 00:28:44.559 --> 00:28:48.799 I think that that is I think that would make for a healthy debate. 00:28:49.039 --> 00:28:58.240 Um, but I also don't think that to your point, it's also deems like not resignable. 00:28:58.400 --> 00:29:10.079 I mean, you know, if you've identified what you just said, then you bring in another coach uh that that can coach this guy up, uh, can get every every bit out of him. 00:29:10.240 --> 00:29:15.759 It doesn't mean uh, you know, Jaden might not be all he's cracked up to be. 00:29:15.839 --> 00:29:19.279 Let's let another team make him be a pro bowler. 00:29:19.519 --> 00:29:21.279 You know, that's not what we want to have happen. 00:29:21.359 --> 00:29:27.680 We've proven, and this is why uh this is why I get a little hesitant, why I kind of brought up the whole thing. 00:29:27.759 --> 00:29:29.599 We're getting on 270. 00:29:30.079 --> 00:29:34.160 Um You guys are good. 00:29:34.400 --> 00:29:56.559 Uh but yeah, so I I just I think that you if you've got a guy that is that you think is top 10 in the league, you can't get rid of him because you've seen what has happened to us after we let Kirk Cousins go, the recirculating door of Taylor Heineke and Fitzpatrick and Starting Road Metro Rail Station Park. 00:29:57.279 --> 00:29:58.160 Name them all off. 00:29:58.319 --> 00:30:01.359 I mean, I think we had Brissett at some point in time. 00:30:01.839 --> 00:30:04.160 Um Josh Johnson. 00:30:04.720 --> 00:30:08.640 Uh the list goes wrong. 00:30:08.720 --> 00:30:12.000 We've seen every single quarterback pretty much in the last 15 years. 00:30:14.720 --> 00:30:16.559 So

you don't let that guy go. 00:30:16.640 --> 00:30:18.400 You don't let him out of your building. 00:30:18.559 --> 00:30:22.240 Um, you just bring other guys in that can coach him up a little bit better. 00:30:22.319 --> 00:30:24.960 So and and I don't disagree with you, Mike. 00:30:25.119 --> 00:30:29.119 I mean, DQ is a is a defensive-minded guy. 00:30:29.279 --> 00:30:32.400 No one's accused him of being a quarterback guru. 00:30:33.039 --> 00:30:43.359 Um, so if you don't think if you think that Jaden needs to have a better relationship with his offensive mind and head coach, then bring in another head coach. 00:30:43.519 --> 00:30:52.000 But then there's also a part of me that thinks, like, well, I mean, should you have known that prior to, or or you knew you were gonna take Jayton? 00:30:52.079 --> 00:30:54.880 You knew you were gonna bring in Dan Quinn in the first. 00:30:55.680 --> 00:31:02.480 I mean, was bringing uh was taking a rookie quarterback and bringing in a defensive-minded head coach the best decision? 00:31:02.640 --> 00:31:06.000 And that kind of falls on Peters, but TBD. 00:31:06.720 --> 00:31:07.279 TBD. 00:31:08.480 --> 00:31:08.720 Yes. 00:31:09.279 --> 00:31:10.799 But they shouldn't let him go. 00:31:10.960 --> 00:31:20.160 I was talking to a guy yesterday that felt like they should trade uh Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry, get them get both those contracts off the book and start to read the code. 00:31:20.559 --> 00:31:25.039 The team already said they're not, even though there is speculation, they're not going to trade Henry. 00:31:25.119 --> 00:31:28.640 He is not, he is not on the trading block at all. 00:31:28.960 --> 00:31:34.960 Well, that only got brought up because of uh Derrick Henry's comments after a frustrating loss last week. 00:31:35.119 --> 00:31:44.720 Um they stick a bunch of microphones in his in his face and expect him to answer a bunch of questions he doesn't know the answer to because it's all just open to interpretation. 00:31:44.880 --> 00:31:49.920 Don't ask a player where wh why do you where do you think things are going wrong? 00:31:50.079 --> 00:31:51.359 I don't know, we're losing. 00:31:51.680 --> 00:31:52.559 That's what they're gonna say. 00:31:52.880 --> 00:31:53.359 That's not good. 00:31:54.000 --> 00:31:54.319 Right. 00:31:54.480 --> 00:31:56.319 Then that's exactly what he said, Mom. 00:31:56.400 --> 00:31:59.279 He said, ask the coach these kind of questions. 00:31:59.519 --> 00:32:02.079 Um which is so true. 00:32:02.400 --> 00:32:08.240 So, yeah, that's why the speculation was on move and from Derrick Henry. 00:32:08.559 --> 00:32:20.000 But the fact is you need a desperate team for a running back in order to move on from that caliber of running back. 00:32:20.240 --> 00:32:31.599 The only way you're gonna get a buyer for Jonathan Taylor is if you have somebody that's willing to give up two firsts and a third, which you ain't gonna find these days unless they're desperate and have

the cap space. 00:32:31.920 --> 00:32:47.440 Um so, and that's why it was so crazy when the Eagles got Saquon, because it's just like, man, they're paying all sorts of money to a variety of different people on their team, and their contracts are always structured so freaking crazy. 00:32:47.839 --> 00:32:49.920 How do they got room for Saquon? 00:32:50.160 --> 00:32:51.759 But they do, they did. 00:32:52.400 --> 00:32:57.279 Um anyway, hey, I think that's enough of a warm-up. 00:32:57.519 --> 00:32:59.920 Let's get into our can't lose locks, Mikey. 00:33:00.160 --> 00:33:10.720 All right, can't lose locks. 00:33:17.599 --> 00:33:20.240 All right, hey, we're making some headway. 00:33:20.559 --> 00:33:28.640 Um we're getting right into the middle of the season here, so things are really starting to pan themselves out with the record. 00:33:28.720 --> 00:33:35.759 Uh, Michael, you've you've uh as you've had all from week one, you've had some work to do with these picks. 00:33:36.160 --> 00:33:45.359 So I'm hoping because you had first stab at it this week, you had the whole slate of every single game to choose from. 00:33:45.440 --> 00:33:47.039 I'm hoping you went four or four and oh. 00:33:47.200 --> 00:33:50.720 So just make sure you mention Tom's record so that he's happy. 00:33:50.960 --> 00:33:51.920 Just make sure you're right. 00:33:52.240 --> 00:33:52.640 I am. 00:33:52.960 --> 00:33:53.599 I am. 00:33:53.920 --> 00:33:56.559 Uh, but you picked first this week. 00:33:56.960 --> 00:34:05.920 For our new listeners, we do a we do a favorite and an underdog and over and an under against the spread and the lines. 00:34:06.079 --> 00:34:14.639 So I'll just kind of run you through everything, and then Michael's gonna fill us in on the entire slate, and we'll go through every single game without the point spread. 00:34:14.800 --> 00:34:28.639 But for this week, Michael's got plus three to the Packers, he's got minus three to the Bengals, he's over 47.5 Tampa Bay, Chicago, and he's under 44.5 Denver, Carolina. 00:34:28.800 --> 00:34:33.599 Uh pulling in a record of 12, 19, and one. 00:34:34.159 --> 00:34:36.000 Uh seven games behind. 00:34:36.159 --> 00:34:37.840 Hey, anything can happen. 00:34:38.079 --> 00:34:40.320 Two back-to-back weeks, Mikey. 00:34:40.480 --> 00:34:42.880 Four four wins here, three wins there. 00:34:42.960 --> 00:34:43.920 You're back. 00:34:44.159 --> 00:34:46.000 Uh, and then there's me. 00:34:46.320 --> 00:34:52.159 I went from 14 and 14 last week to 17 and 15 this week. 00:34:52.400 --> 00:34:55.440 Um, finally getting up above 500. 00:34:55.599 --> 00:34:58.239 Uh there's some interesting lines out there, Mike. 00:34:58.320 --> 00:35:03.119 I thought nine and a half points to the Raiders was a little bit much. 00:35:03.599 --> 00:35:06.480 So I've got the Raiders plus nine and a half. 00:35:06.719 --> 00:35:09.599 I've got the Lions minus six and a half. 00:35:09.760 --> 00:35:13.440 I've got over 43.5 Buffalo, Minnesota. 00:35:13.599 --> 00:35:18.079 Felt like that was a low total there for those two teams. 00:35:18.400 --> 00:35:28.320 Um, and then under 48.5 New York Jets, Kansas City, and my logic behind that was oh no, no, those are Tom's picks. 00:35:28.880 --> 00:35:29.760 No, no. 00:35:30.559 --> 00:35:34.480 Dallas Indy under 51.5 was my last under. 00:35:34.559 --> 00:35:36.079 And then I started reading Tom's. 00:35:36.159 --> 00:35:36.880 So forgive me. 00:35:37.360 --> 00:35:38.960 This week you stayed away from our eating. 00:35:39.360 --> 00:35:40.000 Yes, I did. 00:35:40.159 --> 00:35:40.960 Yes, I did. 00:35:41.199 --> 00:35:49.679 The four and a half number was the line, and when I see a number like four and a half, that tells me Vegas is confused. 00:35:50.079 --> 00:35:56.079 So if Vegas isn't confused, I'm confused, and I don't want I don't want no parts of the game. 00:35:56.320 --> 00:35:59.920 Um there's something about the number for me. 00:36:00.159 --> 00:36:04.639 Then you've got our ghost podcaster, Tombow. 00:36:04.880 --> 00:36:12.800 Tommy, the current champion and picker of all picks at 19 and 13. 00:36:13.119 --> 00:36:14.719 We didn't play to Zego there. 00:36:14.960 --> 00:36:17.679 Well, you know, I felt like he needed that. 00:36:17.920 --> 00:36:19.119 I felt like he needed that. 00:36:19.920 --> 00:36:22.559 He stopped giving us our little voice memos or anything. 00:36:22.960 --> 00:36:26.079 Because we quit telling what his record is over the last like two or three weeks. 00:36:26.559 --> 00:36:27.199 And you know what else?

00:42:02.239 --> 00:42:08.400 Well, I felt well like why are the Raiders or why are the Niners nine and a half point favorite? 00:42:08.639 --> 00:42:10.079 That's a lot of points in the NFL. 00:42:10.719 --> 00:42:12.880 Because the Niners are a really good team this year. 00:42:13.039 --> 00:42:16.639 They're really good, but

00:43:07.840 --> 00:43:09.840 The Raiders are four and four. 00:43:10.480 --> 00:43:11.679 A manageable four and four. 00:43:11.840 --> 00:43:13.119 Kirk Cousins playing good. 00:43:13.360 --> 00:43:18.480 And this is according to CBS Sports, because that's how I do the pick-up group. 00:43:18.639 --> 00:43:22.400 They're expert picks, only one person took the Raiders. 00:43:22.639 --> 00:43:27.519 Uh the Raiders in the pick'em or in the with the point spread?

00:52:18.320 --> 00:52:26.960 Uh I mean I think it's a it's a winnable game, but we have to be able to stop the Rams defense. 00:52:27.360 -->

00:52:28.320 Rams defense. 00:52:28.000 --> 00:52:41.519 defense. 'Cause they're they're they're a defensively strong team, but um I just think we we need to be able to contain them and I don't know if we I don't know if we can, but uh it's a winnable game. 00:52:41.920 --> 00:52:48.880 Well, before we get into our any other takes, uh is it safe to assume you've got an injury report for us? 00:52:49.280 --> 00:52:52.880 Uh yeah, I can tell you who some of the injured players are. 00:52:53.440 --> 00:53:01.599 I think, I believe, uh, I'm not positive, you'll confirm it for me, but I believe their starting cornerback is out. 00:53:01.920 --> 00:53:05.039 So uh maybe their D line is bolstered up with Miles. 00:53:05.920 --> 00:53:06.800 Well, no, he's not out. 00:53:07.199 --> 00:53:10.159 He's uh I thought that guy's name was Watson. 00:53:12.880 --> 00:53:15.119 Uh I could be wrong. 00:53:15.360 --> 00:53:17.360 I don't see any bots on this one. 00:53:17.920 --> 00:53:20.960 Uh the guy I see is questionable. 00:53:21.440 --> 00:53:26.079 Um Devontae Adams is on the IR. 00:53:26.559 --> 00:53:26.880 Yeah. 00:53:27.280 --> 00:53:34.320 There's a bunch of other people that I I don't think they've got like us, they've got a ton of people on the IR. 00:53:34.880 --> 00:53:35.039 Okay. 00:53:35.280 --> 00:53:36.400 Uh as far as that goes. 00:53:36.480 --> 00:53:38.239 I mean, they're just as banged up as we are. 00:53:38.480 --> 00:53:55.760 Well, we're getting to this point of the season where a lot of teams are gonna are filling up that IR spot, especially because uh the new rules uh put that IR spot to four games as opposed to, you know, I remember when you went on the IR, it was the whole season. 00:53:56.000 --> 00:54:07.760 And then they mu they they downgraded it to eight games, and then they've downgraded it again to four games, uh, which which I like, but any more than that, then there is no IR spot. 00:54:08.480 --> 00:54:17.039 Um but yeah, I'm I'm glad that Devante is not in because Puka is enough for us. 00:54:17.280 --> 00:54:20.480 Um Puka is enough for us. 00:54:20.639 --> 00:54:28.639 He was targeted earlier this season 24 times and ranked in the ball 17 receptions in one game, Michael. 00:54:28.800 --> 00:54:40.639 And if our previous uh games against big wide receivers like Seattle last year and stuff like that, they that's what we need to contain because they can just carve us up all day. 00:54:41.199 --> 00:54:42.400 Yeah, yeah. 00:54:42.639 --> 00:54:48.079 No, that's it's it's true, and it's partly because we're not a very good man coverage team. 00:54:48.159 --> 00:54:58.480 We play a lot of zone, and if you're a good quarterback and you're a good wide receiver, you know right where to fall in that zone, and that's what that's my road hazard for today. 00:54:58.639 --> 00:55:03.119 It's gotta be Puka Nakua just sitting in the zone. 00:55:03.440 --> 00:55:06.320 Dad had a similar take for his road hazard. 00:55:06.480 --> 00:55:12.639 What I'm most concerned with is not the seven-yard catch that we give to Puka. 00:55:13.119 --> 00:55:17.920 It's the 14 yards that he gets after the catch that I'm concerned with. 00:55:18.079 --> 00:55:24.320 If he if we can if we can tackle him as soon as he catches the ball, because he's gonna catch it. 00:55:25.280 --> 00:55:27.760 As soon as he catches the ball, we can get him on the ground. 00:55:27.840 --> 00:55:29.199 Yeah, that's my point. 00:55:29.360 --> 00:55:36.480 If we if we let them get what uh what I'll just call the long ball, it's gonna be a long day for us. 00:55:36.719 --> 00:55:37.440 Yeah, yeah. 00:55:37.599 --> 00:55:47.199 I don't think Stafford's gonna have a lot of air yards, um, but uh but he could get a lot of reception yards uh after after the catch. 00:55:47.599 --> 00:55:57.840 The the Rams are fourth in total yards, sixth in passing yards, tenth in rushing, and tenth in overall points. 00:55:58.079 --> 00:56:18.639 So the other thing on on uh for my road hazard, just because it just seems like the matchup of the day is it seems like the matchup of the day is is our defense against their offense, even though uh it could struggle the other way too. 00:56:18.960 --> 00:56:20.719 It could struggle the other way too. 00:56:21.039 --> 00:56:22.480 Mom, you had your hand up. 00:56:22.559 --> 00:56:22.960 What's up? 00:56:23.199 --> 00:56:23.519 I did. 00:56:23.599 --> 00:56:26.960 I have a question as far as was it took and cooler? 00:56:27.519 --> 00:56:28.559 Yeah, why do you think? 00:56:28.639 --> 00:56:36.320 Okay, if you all put Diggs against him, are you so sure that Tuca had one of those days? 00:56:37.119 --> 00:56:44.400 Well, Ma, Diggs, you're thinking of the Cowboys digs that plays defense. 00:56:44.559 --> 00:56:46.239 Our digs plays offense. 00:56:47.119 --> 00:56:47.679 Sorry guys. 00:56:47.840 --> 00:56:48.719 No, it's okay. 00:56:48.880 --> 00:56:49.360 It's okay. 00:56:49.440 --> 00:56:50.000 It was a good question. 00:56:51.119 --> 00:56:51.920 I know, I know. 00:56:52.400 --> 00:56:54.800 I know, I called it out right as soon as you were saying it. 00:56:54.880 --> 00:56:57.599 I'm like, she's got her, she's got her digs confused. 00:56:57.920 --> 00:56:58.639 Sorry about that. 00:56:58.800 --> 00:56:59.280 It's alright. 00:56:59.599 --> 00:57:00.719 Love the big boys. 00:57:03.920 --> 00:57:06.559 I think I think that that digs brother ended up. 00:57:08.079 --> 00:57:09.440 I think he's playing in Seattle. 00:57:09.840 --> 00:57:10.480 I believe so. 00:57:10.719 --> 00:57:11.840 I think he's playing in Seattle. 00:57:12.000 --> 00:57:13.360 I I believe so. 00:57:13.599 --> 00:57:16.079 Um be a day trader, you know. 00:57:16.880 --> 00:57:17.519 Yeah, yeah. 00:57:17.679 --> 00:57:19.920 But I think deadline coming up. 00:57:20.159 --> 00:57:22.159 But I still think we can pull out. 00:57:22.320 --> 00:57:24.079 I was gonna jump, I don't care. 00:57:24.239 --> 00:57:33.679 Uh I still

think we can pull out a win because their their overall record, Rams record against us all-time is 15-26 and one. 00:57:34.000 --> 00:57:40.079 You know, I love it when an all-time record is that lopsided, because that kind of makes me feel the same way. 00:57:40.239 --> 00:57:42.079 You know, that I I mean, I agree. 00:57:42.239 --> 00:57:42.719 I agree. 00:57:42.800 --> 00:57:47.519 That makes me 15-26 and one is our is our all-time record. 00:57:47.679 --> 00:57:50.480 I mean, it shouldn't hold no weight, right? 00:57:50.559 --> 00:57:53.360 Because last year's team's not playing this year's team. 00:57:53.599 --> 00:57:57.920 You know, the 18 that we played in the Rams in the 80s is not the same team today. 00:57:58.000 --> 00:58:04.960 It should hold no weight, but I'm gonna hold it because you are, and I'm down with it. 00:58:05.039 --> 00:58:06.400 I'm I'm all for it. 00:58:06.639 --> 00:58:12.960 Um my uh fast lane take, Michael, is gonna be. 00:58:13.599 --> 00:58:17.199 Well shoot, I just I have it written down. 00:58:18.639 --> 00:58:19.920 I have it written down. 00:58:20.079 --> 00:58:20.960 Hold on, people. 00:58:21.039 --> 00:58:23.679 I just forgot I had it and I forgot it. 00:58:24.079 --> 00:58:31.199 Um, we got a blitz. 00:58:31.599 --> 00:58:33.840 We've got a blitz today. 00:58:34.000 --> 00:58:40.159 Our fast lane, my fast lane take is specifically centered around the turnover margin. 00:58:40.400 --> 00:58:56.079 I believe we are second or third in the league in the turnover margin at plus seven turnovers in our favor throughout the season, and I believe the Rams are minus four in in the turnover margin. 00:58:56.239 --> 00:58:56.639 Oh wow. 00:58:56.880 --> 00:59:11.119 Um, they've uh I think Stafford between fumbles and interception has popped the ball up 12 times so far this year, and four interceptions I saw were on the blitz. 00:59:11.440 --> 00:59:16.239 So if we blitz him, um he can still throw picks. 00:59:16.320 --> 00:59:23.199 And I don't know if it's necessarily on him, maybe it's on the wide receivers for not being in the right spot to get him out of a pinch. 00:59:23.360 --> 00:59:24.480 I don't really care. 00:59:24.800 --> 00:59:33.519 All I know is if we blitz him, and I know we have the capability of blitzing the quarterback, if we blitz him, he can cough that ball up. 00:59:33.840 --> 00:59:39.599 I don't know if three turnovers is what it's gonna take to win. 00:59:41.199 --> 00:59:43.280 But three would be great. 00:59:43.599 --> 00:59:46.239 But two is my bold prediction. 00:59:46.559 --> 00:59:50.639 I actually don't disagree because it's gotta be a big day for Sonny Styles. 00:59:50.719 --> 00:59:54.239 He's gotta be the one to win us that turnover battle. 00:59:54.320 --> 00:59:55.119 It's gotta be a big day. 00:59:55.599 --> 01:00:03.760 The more games I watch that dude, the more I he might he I might buy his damn jersey. 01:00:04.079 --> 01:00:06.719 I might buy his damn jersey. 01:00:07.199 --> 01:00:12.400 He he's making me feel that he's making me feel that way, Michael. 01:00:12.800 --> 01:00:15.119 Um I love that guy. 01:00:15.280 --> 01:00:17.119 He has been playing good. 01:00:17.599 --> 01:00:25.039 Um he's definitely in the in the a front runner for defensive rookie of the year. 01:00:25.199 --> 01:00:32.960 Uh I there's no other defensive rookies that really come to mind, but then again, we we are biased. 01:00:33.199 --> 01:00:38.639 Uh but all right, so let's move on to our our red zone receipts. 01:00:38.960 --> 01:00:46.719 Um we give a commander of the game a bold prediction and a final score prediction. 01:00:46.960 --> 01:00:48.800 Mike, which one do you want first? 01:00:50.239 --> 01:00:55.039 Well, I mean, I'm just gonna go off of what I just said. 01:00:55.199 --> 01:01:05.039 I think if we're gonna win this game and you highlighted turnovers being a big point of it, then the it's gotta be Sonny Styles is the commander of the game. 01:01:05.280 --> 01:01:08.639 You know, if it's gonna if it's gonna be a defensive battle. 01:01:09.760 --> 01:01:10.719 I like it. 01:01:11.440 --> 01:01:12.400 I like it. 01:01:12.880 --> 01:01:16.559 Um my commander of the game is gonna be Chig. 01:01:17.039 --> 01:01:28.000 I think that he raised some eyebrows and opened some eyeballs with some of his athletic plays in last week's game, and I think uh Blau is gonna focus on him a lot more. 01:01:28.239 --> 01:01:30.800 I think Jaden's gonna focus on him a lot more. 01:01:30.960 --> 01:01:33.679 Uh I think he'll find some opportunities today. 01:01:33.840 --> 01:01:43.440 I know I've called Chig as my uh potential commander of the game before, but Michael, I really mean it this time. 01:01:44.000 --> 01:01:45.760 I really mean it this time. 01:01:46.000 --> 01:01:47.280 Well, I hope it pays off. 01:01:48.639 --> 01:02:04.960 Um for my for my bold prediction, Jaden Daniels, 300 total yards, 200 passing, 100 rushing, three total touchdowns, two passing, one rushing. 01:02:05.199 --> 01:02:08.079 So it's the it's the threes. 01:02:08.239 --> 01:02:14.719 Three touchdowns, three hundred yards, and they're gonna be split in thirds. 01:02:14.800 --> 01:02:18.159 There are two-thirds passing, one third rushing. 01:02:18.239 --> 01:02:20.000 That's my bold prediction today. 01:02:20.159 --> 01:02:24.320 I feel like he's gonna have a really good game in the air and on the ground. 01:02:25.039 --> 01:02:34.000 And I don't necessarily disagree with you, but I think he too has to have a big game, and you know, we're we're only effective when he's effective. 01:02:34.079 --> 01:02:51.360 So if that's him, if that's him putting up those kind of numbers or uh somehow being able to be a rushing threat throughout this game, like the crazy thing about him being a rushing threat, and I think you'll agree with me, I don't like a called running play for Jaden. 01:02:51.760 --> 01:02:57.679 I like a scramble accidentally rushes for 34 yards. 01:02:58.400 -->

01:03:10.320 That's where he strives the most, is when his wide receivers are taking defensive backs all the way down the field or spreading them out, and he finds that gap and can kind of just squeeze right through the defense. 01:03:10.480 --> 01:03:10.639 Yeah. 01:03:10.800 --> 01:03:13.840 That's where he really thrives rushing the ball. 01:03:14.000 --> 01:03:18.320 It's not because we've designed a quarterback run to the right. 01:03:18.480 --> 01:03:26.400 Uh so I'm hoping that he gets put in situations where he can escape the pocket and bust a couple out. 01:03:26.559 --> 01:03:31.440 Um, because he doesn't need much to really have a productive day on the ground. 01:03:31.599 --> 01:03:33.599 Just a couple couples of scrambles will do. 01:03:34.000 --> 01:03:43.760 All that hinges on are we able to contain their defense and will our offensive line conversely be able to show up and project JD? 01:03:44.000 --> 01:03:44.320 Yeah. 01:03:44.480 --> 01:03:45.679 Yep, good point. 01:03:45.760 --> 01:03:48.239 Uh, my final score prediction, Mike. 01:03:48.400 --> 01:03:50.880 This could also be classified as a ball prediction. 01:03:51.039 --> 01:03:54.000 It could also be classified as like, that's not real. 01:03:54.159 --> 01:03:58.239 Uh I'm going 44-24 commanders. 01:03:58.400 --> 01:04:01.840 We're gonna put up 44 points for Rigo today. 01:04:02.159 --> 01:04:06.639 We are we are gonna put up 44 points for Riggins. 01:04:06.960 --> 01:04:10.639 You're doing your final score the way you draft your fantasy book. 01:04:12.239 --> 01:04:13.280 So true. 01:04:14.800 --> 01:04:15.199 So true. 01:04:17.039 --> 01:04:21.440 There's no way we're gonna put up 44 points against the ranch. 01:04:22.880 --> 01:04:24.000 If you're hitting that pen. 01:04:24.559 --> 01:04:27.519 early this morning for the year. 01:04:29.760 --> 01:04:32.320 Like, if you were already hitting that pen, you need to lay off. 01:04:34.000 --> 01:04:37.440 You are losing when you think we're gonna put up 44 points. 01:04:40.000 --> 01:04:41.360 I'll give you some. 01:04:45.840 --> 01:04:46.800 Come on. 01:04:47.039 --> 01:04:50.159 It's I mean, you're looking now. 01:04:50.239 --> 01:04:52.239 I hope it happens so bad. 01:04:53.119 --> 01:05:02.400 I think it'll be more like a like a if we're looking there, if we're sitting at 37 points in the fourth quarter, I'm gonna be looking at you as like Michael Lomart Dutch. 01:05:02.719 --> 01:05:04.000 Uh Lomart Dutch. 01:05:04.960 --> 01:05:11.519 It's gonna be more like a, I think, like a 28-24 type game. 01:05:11.920 --> 01:05:14.880 I mean, that's obviously more more likely. 01:05:16.079 --> 01:05:16.320 Yeah. 01:05:16.559 --> 01:05:17.119 That's obviously. 01:05:17.599 --> 01:05:20.239 So do you want to revise your your score pick then? 01:05:20.400 --> 01:05:20.800 No, no. 01:05:21.119 --> 01:05:21.679 No, no. 01:05:22.719 --> 01:05:22.960 No. 01:05:23.199 --> 01:05:23.920 That's too good. 01:05:24.079 --> 01:05:29.440 All right, how about Bull prediction uh Jaden Daniel's uh 144 rushing yards? 01:05:30.639 --> 01:05:33.360 How about Austin Eckler 144 rushing yards? 01:05:33.519 --> 01:05:35.599 Now that's that's more possible. 01:05:35.920 --> 01:05:36.400 Uh-huh. 01:05:37.119 --> 01:05:38.320 No, it's not. 01:05:39.760 --> 01:05:40.800 No, it's not. 01:05:40.960 --> 01:05:45.920 Uh Austin Eckler hasn't had 144 rushing yards in a game since probably 2022. 01:05:46.239 --> 01:05:47.199 Hey, you never know. 01:05:47.440 --> 01:05:47.599 Okay. 01:05:48.719 --> 01:05:53.119 Um, I think that's a good commute breakdown. 01:05:53.199 --> 01:05:55.360 Let's take this right into our quarter four. 01:05:56.960 --> 01:06:02.639 Hell yeah!
