92%ers, we are back with another episode of New Heights presented by our friends at Timberland x Vans! In this episode, we’ve got an update on what our next New Heights Film Club movie might be, a huge guest announcement and Jason and Travis break down what went wide left
with Jason’s charity field goal kick. We also dive into everything from Week 9 in the NFL including the Chiefs overtime thriller against the Bucs, Hopkins showing out in his first home game, Saquon breaking our brains with the backward hurdle, and the Saints Twitter mutiny. Finally, we look at the alleged NFL QB development problem, take a look at the league at the halfway point in the season, and answer a not-dumb voicemail about living in a house divided.

I know you wanted to clear some of the air, so go ahead.
00:01:39 Speaker_05
Yeah. Again, you know, I kind of talked about on Monday knife, uh, countdown. Yeah, no, I'm just going to address it because I feel like it needs one more time and then hopefully we can stop talking about this really stupid situation.
00:01:53 Speaker_02
I'm with you, man.
00:01:54 Speaker_05
I'm not happy about the situation. Me reacting gave him the time of day and it also gave this situation notoriety. That's what I regret. All right. It didn't deserve attention. It's really stupid.
00:02:06 Speaker_05
And if I just keep walking, none of it's a fucking, it's a nothing burger. Nobody sees it now. It's out there and it just perpetuates more hate. The thing that I regret the most is saying that word, to be honest with you.
00:02:21 Speaker_05
The word he used is just fucking ridiculous. And it takes it to another level. It's, it's, it's just off the wall, fucking over the line and is dehumanizing and got on my skin and elicited a reaction and.
00:02:34 Speaker_05
Like in the heat of the moment, I thought in my head, Hey, what, what, what can I say back to him? I'm going to throw this shit right back in his face because fuck him.
00:02:41 Speaker_05
I know now that that was, I shouldn't have done that because now there's a video out there with me saying that word, him saying that word. And it's not good for anybody. I think what I do regret is that now there's a, there's a video.
00:02:52 Speaker_05
That is very hateful. That is now online. That has been seen by millions of people. And I share fault in perpetuating it and having that out there.
00:03:03 Speaker_02
I know it's weighing on your brother. That shit sucks. You shouldn't you shouldn't feel this much. Obviously the scrutiny and are the media like view on it. And everybody passing around the videos that are being out there.
00:03:16 Speaker_02
I mean, that's, that's gonna make it a bigger situation than I think what it really is. But the real situation is, you had some fucking clown come up to you and talk about your family and you reacted in a way
00:03:28 Speaker_02
that was defending your family, and you might have used some words that you regret using. And that's a situation that you just got to kind of learn from and own.
00:03:38 Speaker_02
And I think you owning it and you speaking about it shows how sincere you are to a lot of people in this world and shows that
00:03:48 Speaker_02
Especially what you said on Monday night that you you choose not the fucking you don't choose hate, you know That's that's that's just not who you are. I love you, brother. I think I think you said that perfectly
00:04:03 Speaker_02
Welcome back to New Heights, ladies and gentlemen, a one three show produced by Waze Sports and Entertainment and presented by Timberland and Vans. Jason, you had those temps on this weekend, baby. Got to love it, man. A little wide left. Yeah. Twice.
00:04:17 Speaker_02
The first one was a missile, though.
00:04:19 Speaker_05
Wasn't the best footwear to kick on. I will say, it was like a little bit of a slant. Like we were on a hill.
00:04:27 Speaker_02
Don't make excuses, Jason.
00:04:28 Speaker_05
Just saying we were on a hill. And Pat tried to tell me, he's like, listen, it's going to come out like a draw. You got to aim a little bit to the right.
00:04:33 Speaker_02
Yeah.
00:04:33 Speaker_05
And sure enough, I didn't do that. That first one I hit really well. If that thing would have gone to the right, if I would have aimed it to the right, it would have been great. Second one I tried to aim to the right and I just miss hit it bad.
00:04:44 Speaker_02
Miss hit it real bad. Dude, the camera angle, you couldn't even see the actual field goal post. I don't think all you saw was the tree far left and you kicked it right at the tree.
00:04:56 Speaker_05
do you know who mark mosley is he's the he's the only kicker ever to win the nfl mvp he went in like 1982 for like the commanders or something like that i don't even know if either way he uh he's a straight on kicker of course googled because i don't know how to kick straight on i'm like taking notes
00:05:13 Speaker_05
because I didn't, I couldn't train, right?
00:05:15 Speaker_02
This is why you missed it. You didn't just go up there and be an athlete. This is why you got to calculate it. You tried to read the directions. God damn it.
00:05:22 Speaker_05
You went to Ohio state kicking camp. You know how to kick. I was soccer style though. I didn't, I never did the straight on kick. I didn't know how to do straight on kick. I don't know what the, what the parameters are.
00:05:32 Speaker_02
Unbelievable. Jason. All right, well, we'll talk more about this a little further down the road, man. We're your hosts. I'm Travis. This is my big brother, Jason Kelsey, out of Cleveland Heights, Ohio, baby. Just Northeast Ohio ballplayers, baby.

00:06:13 Speaker_05
And all the rest of the biggest storylines from week nine in the National Football League. All right. We're going to move on to a little bit of that. New news coming in hot. New news is brought to you by Yellowstone on Paramount Network.
00:06:30 Speaker_05
Don't miss the epic return this Sunday at eight. That's right. At eight o'clock, seven central only on Paramount Network.
00:06:38 Speaker_02
Sounds good. I'm a big fan of Yellowstone. It makes me want to get property in fucking Montana.
00:06:43 Speaker_05
Yeah, dude. I mean, it's.
00:06:45 Speaker_02
It makes me want to own enough land to drive my helicopter all over my land.
00:06:51 Speaker_05
Horses and guns. It's a time. Tried and true combination.
00:06:59 Speaker_05
all right now let's uh let's keep the same moving to a little film club oh yeah next week we're going to review our next movie for the new heights film club oh yeah that's right and since we reviewed sisterhood of the traveling pants we're going the opposite direction this time we're going to review a uh non-chick flick movie we're going to go the opposite direction and go like just as pure testosterone filled masculinity as we can think of
00:07:28 Speaker_05
I can't wait to hear the reviews from all the Swifties and everybody else that watch our show. You didn't feel the masculinity in the, uh, I'll tell you what, I did feel it from, uh, no, uh, yeah, the Greek guy. Yeah.
00:07:41 Speaker_05
I mean, listen, Costas was pretty masculine. There's nothing more masculine than romantically charming a young woman. other than Bloodsport.
00:07:50 Speaker_02
We asked the 92%ers to give us some masculine options and this is what some of you thought a masculine movie should be. The Notebook, which kind of aligns with what Jason was just saying right there.
00:07:59 Speaker_05
Yeah, I don't even like calling this masculine. I think that's what we're going on. I want an action-packed just like freaking a dude's movie.
00:08:07 Speaker_05
We watched the chick flicks and now we're gonna watch a dude's dude movie and yeah, we're gonna go that route because I do think there is something like listen, it's masculine now to woo a woman. Ain't nothing unmasculine about that or to woo a mate.
00:08:22 Speaker_05
It is masculine. Some recommendations you guys sent our way, The Notebook, Hannah Montana, The Movie, Legally Blonde, 27 Dresses, Titanic. None of those are going to be in a multiple choice selection that we are going to pick.
00:08:35 Speaker_02
Not this time around. This time around, we're going for like The Predator. That's right. We want the film club movie.
00:08:41 Speaker_05
Escape from New York. Hold on, we're going to get into it. We want the film club to be very diverse.
00:08:46 Speaker_02
Yeah, no, everybody had. We're getting- We're going the opposite direction this week. And we'll go another direction the next month.
00:08:52 Speaker_05
So, these are some of the options we're thinking about. Predator. Escape from New York. Deer Hunter. Do you know Deer Hunter?
00:09:03 Speaker_04
Don't know Deer Hunter.
00:09:04 Speaker_05
I think Deer Hunter was actually filmed at least in part in Cleveland. Great movie, great movie. Cliffhanger. Oh, Sylvester Stallone.
00:09:12 Speaker_04
Yeah.
00:09:13 Speaker_05
Famously parodied by Ace Ventura.
00:09:17 Speaker_02
No. Fight Club. Fight Club. Yep. Classic. Fight Club. I haven't seen that one in a while.
00:09:24 Speaker_05
Fuck, it was long. It's a long movie. It is very good. Definitely not a Christmas movie. I saw a lot of people saying that nonsense. It is not a Christmas movie.
00:09:31 Speaker_02
It does not have Christmas spirit.
00:09:33 Speaker_05
Just because it's locationally and timely happening in Christmas. It's not a Christmas movie. Commando, maybe the best one-liner movie of all time. Seriously, fantastic.
00:09:47 Speaker_05
This is one that I am, I'm just going to say right now, this one is in the multiple choice.
00:09:52 Speaker_02
Regardless of what they, why?
00:09:54 Speaker_05
This movie that I'm about to say is in the vote. No questions asked. Cause I don't know of any movie that represents kind of what I'm looking for more than this. Blood sport. Jean-Claude Van Damme.
00:10:07 Speaker_02
Damn, man. Yeah, baby.
00:10:08 Speaker_05
Was it Randy Jackson? What's the, what's the, uh, sidekick's name? I think it's Randy Jackson, right?
00:10:14 Speaker_02
I have no idea.
00:10:15 Speaker_05
Randy something.
00:10:16 Speaker_02
I remember like the premise of cool blood sport. Do you remember this type of shit?
00:10:21 Speaker_03
Ray Jackson.
00:10:26 Speaker_05
Ray Jackson. Yeah. We got dirty Harry. Maybe good fellas. Good fellas. I was rocking a good fella shirt on here. It's a good one. Scarface. Say hello to my little friend. Rambo, Gladiator. Gladiator, and there's a sequel coming out, right? Denzel's in it.
00:10:46 Speaker_05
You heard about this?
00:10:46 Speaker_02
I had no idea. Oh, no, no, no. Yeah, I do. Gladiator, yeah. I thought we were still talking about Rambo. Rambo? Gladiator is, yeah. No, I was a part of the commercial that was helping promote that thing.
00:10:57 Speaker_05
Roadhouse was also another recommend. I mean, Roadhouse. Dude, Roadhouse. You gotta go original. We're not going with the new one.
00:11:03 Speaker_03
No, you gotta go original. The original Roadhouse is a fucking...
00:11:08 Speaker_05
dude it's so good punch it comes out of nowhere like it comes it starts with the that movie starts the most normal way possible it starts and it's like okay this is kind of a cool movie he's gonna come help out this this bar that needs to be reshaped and everything and then it turns into like he rips a guy's throat out of his like esophagus
00:11:34 Speaker_05
And then like, and then they ended at a house and like everybody just takes turns shooting a dead guy with a shotgun over and over again. It's so ridiculous. But these are the kind of movies we're talking about.
00:11:48 Speaker_02
This is what we're talking about. We don't want it to make a lot of sense. We just want it to be just pure adrenaline. I want to see someone's throat.
00:11:56 Speaker_05
All right. So what, what movies represent their body? What movies represent the pure adrenaline? I think we put predator in there.
00:12:02 Speaker_02
I'm going to say. Gladiator just because I want to watch the first one before I see the second one.
00:12:07 Speaker_05
I feel like gladiators. It's gladiators like an actually good film. Like if there's like ups and downs and like feelings, you know what I mean?
00:12:17 Speaker_02
There's feelings in Roadhouse. Are you kidding me?
00:12:20 Speaker_05
Well, maybe Roadhouse shouldn't be in. I don't know. I'm just saying, like, it's just like... You're ridiculous.
00:12:23 Speaker_02
No. Feelings. There's feelings in all of these.
00:12:26 Speaker_05
I feel like Gladiator is different than a lot of these movies that we're talking about.
00:12:29 Speaker_02
Except for Bloodsport. Bloodsport might be the only one where there's not feelings.
00:12:32 Speaker_05
I think Bloodsport's got to be it.
00:12:33 Speaker_02
And Goodfellas. Goodfellas, there's no feelings in Goodfellas.
00:12:38 Speaker_05
Fine. Okay. We got Predator and Bloodsport are in. What are the other two?
00:12:41 Speaker_02
I say Gladiator just because I want to see it. Let's go Fight Club. Fight Club's a good one. I want to re-watch Fight Club. I haven't seen that one in a while.
00:12:50 Speaker_05
All right, Fight Club, put it on there. He's pissed. I mean, Fight Club really isn't in the same genre either. It's too good. It's too good of a film.
00:12:58 Speaker_02
Like, we need... It's too good of a film? What are we trying to watch here?
00:13:03 Speaker_05
I'm thinking of those, like, 80s, 90s action movies that are like, you know, Commando. Like, Commando's just like... Roadhouse is a terrible movie.
00:13:10 Speaker_02
It's almost so... Roadhouse, if you watch Roadhouse, it is not a good movie.
00:13:14 Speaker_05
Roadhouse is not. You're right. No, it's fantastic. It's like these movies that like, it's so, you know what I'm talking about?
00:13:24 Speaker_03
I don't know how to describe it. Roadhouse should be in it.
00:13:27 Speaker_05
All right. Roadhouse is in. All right. Fight clubs out. Roadhouse is in. I want to put commando in. Should we have two Arnold movies in there?
00:13:37 Speaker_02
I mean, it's the, that's the dude of all dudes.
00:13:40 Speaker_05
We're missing like a Sylvester, like Rambo, do we need Sly to have like a presence in this movie? In this like genre?
00:13:47 Speaker_02
It's only fair.
00:13:48 Speaker_05
Cliffhanger, gosh, what's Cobra?
00:13:51 Speaker_02
I have no idea.
00:13:53 Speaker_05
I've never heard of that movie.
00:13:54 Speaker_02
Just looking at these pictures is hilarious.
00:13:57 Speaker_05
All right, Cobra's in.
00:13:58 Speaker_02
I've never seen it.
00:13:59 Speaker_05
It might be fun to watch a movie you've never seen before.
00:14:01 Speaker_02
All right, take Roadhouse out, put Cobra in.
00:14:04 Speaker_05
Wait, so Roadhouse isn't, I thought we were done.
00:14:07 Speaker_02
Is this it? What do you think is more of that genre? Fight Club or Roadhouse? I think Fight Club is.
00:14:14 Speaker_05
No, Fight Club's very, like, it's like, there's like symbolism and like, like Fight Club's way too, like, good of a cinematic film, I feel like. They're like trying to make a statement. Cobras out, Commandos in. Cobras out, Commandos in.
00:14:27 Speaker_02
All right, yeah, let's keep this thing moving.
00:14:28 Speaker_05
All right, that's our final four. We're going to put that up to a fan vote. The final four will be Predator, Bloodsport, Roadhouse, and Commando. Nice. Which either any of those four movies will be fantastic.
00:14:42 Speaker_05
And we look forward to seeing which movie you guys want to watch of those four.
00:14:45 Speaker_02
Fantastic might be a stretch. I think it's exactly what we're looking for, but fantastic might be a stretch.
00:14:50 Speaker_05
Oh, no, it's there's no stretch about it.

He's the best and you know, he's turned this whole kicking thing in on game day to the charitable component and they're raising a lot of money for hurricane relief.
00:16:14 Speaker_01
It's awesome man.
00:16:15 Speaker_05
Yeah, I don't know. It's just an awesome way to take an event that's already fun and has a bunch of support around it and use that in a way that helps the community that's in need right now. So yeah, for those of you that aren't aware, I did not help.
00:16:31 Speaker_05
I missed horrific horrendously. Boom, dude, that was a fucking missile.
00:16:38 Speaker_02
I mean, dude, I mean, that's good from like 60 yards. You fucking booted.
00:16:43 Speaker_05
See the slope.
00:16:44 Speaker_02
Yeah, well, Jason Jones, you're a man. You're a man of of, you know, you understand angles. This is why you played hockey. This is why you played lacrosse. You are very good at understanding, understanding these things. You're a competitive guy.
00:16:58 Speaker_02
Look at him trying to he's going to size this one up.
00:17:02 Speaker_05
I want to see where it went wrong. I haven't watched the tape yet.
00:17:08 Speaker_02
You kick this one way too toe heavy on your, you gotta, you gotta get more square down that thing, man.
00:17:13 Speaker_05
One, two. I was trying to catch it at the angle because I wanted to hit it to the right. No. I stepped too close to it. Stepped too close to it. Yes. Yeah. This guy fucking sucks. Dude, it was the fucking best, dude.
00:17:28 Speaker_03
Him said, this guy sucks. After you missed it the second time.
00:17:36 Speaker_02
God damn it, man. There's that tree all the way to the left about a mile, about as far left as you were to the goalpost. That's how far left you kicked it. I mean, it was almost it was almost directly left this this picture.
00:17:49 Speaker_02
You got to put up the picture. The tree, the tree is literally fucking 50 yards to the left. I mean, that is nuts.
00:18:09 Speaker_05
It's listen, I apparently I kick field goals the way I hit a golf ball. So
00:18:16 Speaker_02
Nice. Just a bit outside. Yeah, no, I think I think from one special teams guy to another because we are teamers. You you didn't do me proud, Jason. I thought you were going to fucking nail this, man.
00:18:32 Speaker_05
Yeah, no more. I want. Listen, I can put some practice in to make it. I just I mean, yeah, I did in the spirit of the spirit of competition. I didn't want to do that.
00:18:41 Speaker_02
I could have went up to the Cleveland Guardians, you know, home opener and fucking threw a strike if I really practiced. Yeah.
00:18:48 Speaker_05
Or just wear footwear that didn't slide when you were on the line.
00:18:52 Speaker_02
Or just actually warmed up. I did warm up.
00:18:56 Speaker_05
You see this picture right here. I did warm up. I'm stretching. I made sure that was nice and loose. I did not want to tear a hip flexor doing this. And I will say.
00:19:04 Speaker_02
Were you a little sore?
00:19:05 Speaker_05
my knees sore after I tried it. I definitely hyperextended it a little bit.
00:19:10 Speaker_02
Can't, you got to keep those quads fucking, yeah. Well, you got to kick through it. What was, uh, what was Kylie's advice?
00:19:16 Speaker_05
Kylie didn't give me any advice. She was zero help in this, uh, endeavor.
00:19:19 Speaker_02
She said, maybe you should have worn tight pants.
00:19:22 Speaker_05
Oh yeah. She did say that. And of course, in reference to, uh, my advice to, you know, show the bulge. Listen, Sometimes it works.
00:19:36 Speaker_02
Oh, yeah. Sometimes it doesn't. Shout out to Kylie for listening to our Wonder Plus exclusive episode where we gave great advice for people in marriage trying to rekindle that flame.
00:19:50 Speaker_04
Yeah, baby.
00:19:52 Speaker_02
Well, even though Jason missed the field goal, there was still a ton of money donated to the Hurricane Relief Fund. That's right. Souls for souls. Got to love it, man. Pat tweeted out.
00:20:04 Speaker_02
We still donated 200,000 to Hurricane Relief, as will Timberland and Vans. That's unbelievable. Hashtag kick it forward. I suck at kicking is what Jason was in quotes saying. And yes, you do. You do. That was atrocious.
00:20:16 Speaker_02
I thought you were going to do way better than that. But thank you, Captain Obvious. All right. Now, we also asked we also asked you guys to send us your field goal kicks with the hashtag kick it forward. And you delivered.
00:20:30 Speaker_02
Hey, maybe the most impressive came from eight year old. Ninety two percent are trick shot. Jake on Jake.
00:20:38 Speaker_05
Is this from Jake? Oh, let's see. Oh. Are you kidding me?
00:20:44 Speaker_02
Are you kidding me, Jason?
00:20:45 Speaker_05
He's already better than me.
00:20:47 Speaker_02
10 times better than you. You can't even, you can't even, you can't even do that.
00:20:51 Speaker_05
I don't know that I can. You're right. My wrists are destroyed from playing football. My wrist doing that right there.
00:20:59 Speaker_02
Fuck. You know, getting old out here. Well, that was a, that was an awesome trick shot, Jake. Who knows, man. Maybe if Jason works hard enough, he can be as good as you one day.
00:21:10 Speaker_02
Shout out once again to our friends at Timberland Advanced for making this possible. And if you guys want to help spread the word on this incredible charity, send us your videos of kicking in some Timbs or Vans and hashtag kick it forward.
00:21:24 Speaker_02
And our friends at Vans and Timberland will keep on donating. It's awesome. Awesome stuff.
00:21:30 Speaker_05
All right, and Trav got out of the house this weekend. You headed out to Indianapolis for the Ares Tour.
00:21:35 Speaker_02
I did, man. I wanted to see Tay one more time before this thing got closed up. And I'll tell you what, man, the American crowds, they did not disappoint.

00:25:53 Speaker_03
That's right.
00:25:55 Speaker_05
Bucks in overtime on Monday Night Football. We were both in attendance because this was an ESPN broadcasted game. Monday night. Yeah. Overtime game. Who doesn't love free football in Arrowhead? How about that? Pat, 34 for 44 for 291.
00:26:13 Speaker_05
Three touchdowns, zero interceptions. God damn it, man. Trav, you had a Monday night football record. That's right, you tied a Monday night football record with 14 catches. That's a lot of catches. Woo, tied Cooper Cubb and Jay Rice.
00:26:25 Speaker_02
I could've fuckin'. Did you drop a pass? I could've had more. Did I?
00:26:28 Speaker_05
I don't remember that.
00:26:29 Speaker_02
Yeah, I did. It was bad. It was right after I fumbled the ball.
00:26:32 Speaker_05
Yeah, how'd you guys feel offensively? You felt like you guys moved the ball pretty well for the majority of the game, but.
00:26:36 Speaker_02
I we kicked ourselves in the foot in the first half myself personally did not play great both pass game run game. I know I came up big on a few few plays here and there on that first drive.
00:26:48 Speaker_02
But after that, I just wasn't happy with my performance even watching it today. It's just
00:26:52 Speaker_02
I gotta be better out the gate for my guys and especially, you know, a team like the team like the Bucks who they you give them confidence that they can they can hang in there with you. Not that they didn't already need it.
00:27:05 Speaker_02
You know, I mean, that team has some dudes that can **** play the game. They got great coaches. They're offensive and defensive line.
00:27:11 Speaker_02
Man, those dudes, they got big dudes out there moving, moving the pile and and the everybody seems like they're they're in tune with the game plan. So that was not that was not an easy win by any means, obviously going into OT.
00:27:25 Speaker_02
And I got a lot of respect for those guys. And when Baker gets gets hot, man, he he is fun to watch, man. I'm sitting there on the on the sideline like, man, I do not like this feeling in my stomach watching that last drive in the fourth quarter.
00:27:39 Speaker_02
But happy they went for the field goal. So it gave us a chance to get the offense back out there on the field and in OT, man. Yeah, but talking about the extra point. Yeah. At the end of the day, man, Chiefs just finding a way to win ball games, baby.
00:27:53 Speaker_02
You know, the offense, we put together a great drive there in OT that we could really, you know, hang our hat on in terms of the game and move forward and feel like we finished the game the right way.
00:28:04 Speaker_02
And, you know, a lot of that goes to Coach Reed and a lot of that goes to Pat Holmes playing his ass off. And a lot goes to that offensive line for moving the fucking ball, man.
00:28:14 Speaker_05
Hopkins had his first home game. That's right. He made his arrowhead debut.
00:28:19 Speaker_02
What a night to have your first ever. He was rocking man.
00:28:24 Speaker_05
Disappointment was calling it a heist all night long. Kids at eight catches for 86 yards and two touchdowns including triple coverage to show this real quick.
00:28:40 Speaker_02
How about it, man?
00:28:41 Speaker_05
This is an impressive throw man. Somebody right up in your face and he patches lobs it up there Find a way to catch gets it down there inside the five you guys ended up punching it in I Yeah. How, how is it so far building the chemistry with Hopkins?
00:28:57 Speaker_02
What is the smoothest transition I've ever seen?
00:28:59 Speaker_05
He's been around for a bit.
00:29:01 Speaker_02
He knows, and he's been, he's been on a few different teams, been in a few different organizations, you know? Yeah. So it's like, he understands how to, how to mix that chemistry.
00:29:11 Speaker_02
He understands how to, how to incorporate himself and be himself, uh, in a new, in a new building, you know? And, uh, it's just been so fucking cool just to have them being We came in the same year, 2013 draft class.
00:29:25 Speaker_02
I've seen his success from a distance, and to see him come into the building and notice what kind of professional he is, how communicative he is, or how he communicates in the building. You know, how he talks ball.
00:29:40 Speaker_02
It's fun to have him around, and it's given everybody kind of a juice and a morale of confidence. I call them swag champs, man.
00:29:50 Speaker_02
When you get a swag champ like D hop or somebody that comes in, they just, you know, just how they carry themselves, boost the morale and the confidence of everybody around them. And you can't teach that that type of shit.
00:30:02 Speaker_02
You either got it or you don't. Right. And D hop is 100 percent giving us that. And it showed on Monday night, man. We don't win that game without him.
00:30:10 Speaker_05
You're lying. Hopkins on the catch and triple coverage. Pat and I were just out there making a play. And that is the truth. Uh, they had the first initial route covered and I might have run the wrong route at first, but that was just.
00:30:23 Speaker_05
I might have ran it. I might not have been doing the right thing, but we figured it out. We're on the same page. Now we got multiple people just doing whatever.
00:30:36 Speaker_02
I'll tell you what, man. Defense is just, you gotta be on your toes. Yeah. Who knows?
00:30:42 Speaker_05
Good luck. Uh, after, uh, this touchdown in the second quarter, he hit us with the, remember the Titan celebration. Let's check this one out.
00:30:50 Speaker_04
Oh yeah.
00:30:51 Speaker_05
Oh, is this plan?
00:30:52 Speaker_04
Oh.
00:30:59 Speaker_03
Oh, that's sweet. I love it when you get the whole line involved, man. Fuck.
00:31:03 Speaker_05
So was this something you guys planned out beforehand? You guys?
00:31:06 Speaker_02
Yeah. Well, I mean, he has nothing but respect for the Titans, man. And when he was when he was in Tennessee, man, he said he respected everybody there. And it was it was what it was. He wouldn't be here without them.
00:31:17 Speaker_02
So he he was showing it in terms of like a celebration for him.
00:31:21 Speaker_05
And he said the same thing on Twitter. He said it was a shout to Tennessee. If you know me, you know, it's nothing but love for Nashville. Rand and his crew are like family. Without them, I wouldn't be here.
00:31:31 Speaker_04
Yeah.
00:31:31 Speaker_05
Let's talk a little bit about the Chiefs offense and maybe just start calling it the clutch offense. That's right. Per our friend Jeff Schwartz, That's right.
00:31:41 Speaker_05
After the Chiefs came back from down 17-10, the third to take the lead, he tweeted, I will tap the sign again. When the Chiefs best is needed, they play their best.
00:31:50 Speaker_05
Last two drives, 12 plays, 70 yards, took off six minutes and 36 second drive that ended in a touchdown. Then they had a 15 play drive that was 75 yards and eight minutes and 26 yards. Eight minutes to 26. I don't know why I can't fucking say this.
00:32:08 Speaker_03
It was a six minute drive and an eight minute drive.
00:32:11 Speaker_05
12 play, 70 yard, six minute drive. Then they had a 15 play, 75 yard, eight minute drive, both of which resulted in a touchdown.
00:32:21 Speaker_02
There we go.
00:32:21 Speaker_05
How true is this statement?
00:32:23 Speaker_02
I feel like we're always out there trying to play our best, right? But at the same time, you know, you get put in, like, got to have it situations. And I think I think we rally together when I do. I honestly believe that.
00:32:36 Speaker_02
I think I think you just kind of feel the intensity rise. You feel you have to be at your best. So you start to focus a little harder.
00:32:43 Speaker_02
You start to fucking have a little bit more sense of urgency to get to where you need to be or to or to understand how you're going to make this block. Um, and on top of that, you kind of just rally with the guys next to you.
00:32:56 Speaker_02
I think right now, guys like Kareem hunt, how he's fucking running right now and the intensity and the, and the energy that he has. And when he gets a big, when he gets a big gain, how fast he gets up and how, how much excitement he gets with that.
00:33:08 Speaker_02
Stuff like that goes so far in terms of the momentum and the and the beast that you got to feel like you are at your best in moments like that. And I, I really think that it's just it's a culture that's set here.
00:33:20 Speaker_02
And it's it's how the coaches prepare us. It's how we prepared with each other throughout the week.
00:33:27 Speaker_02
And it's understanding of the game plan and what the other teams doing that, that all has to be, you know, we all have to be on the same page in terms of that.
00:33:35 Speaker_02
And when we need it the most, I think that's when we all kind of come together and show that.
00:33:41 Speaker_05
No, and it happens week in, week out. It's so impressive, the consistency at which you guys do this thing, right? Yeah. And especially at the end of games, it just feels like it always goes your way.
00:33:51 Speaker_05
Scott Van Pelt said something to me, he's like, you know, and he learned it from somebody else, but you have to learn how to win. And you guys have clearly learned how to win.
00:34:00 Speaker_05
Despite any type of way the game goes, it finds like you guys always somehow just know what to do to make it right. And that brings up this quote from Andy Reid in 2022, the unofficial team motto, when it's grim, be the grim reaper.
00:34:14 Speaker_04
Yeah.
00:34:15 Speaker_05
How about that?
00:34:16 Speaker_04
Yep.
00:34:16 Speaker_05
Alrighty. Overtime. Final two minutes of regulation. Baker Mayfield leads the Bucks on a touchdown drive with 27 seconds left in the clock. Todd Bowles elects to kick the PAT instead of going for two. Is that the right call? Would you have done
00:34:31 Speaker_02
I would say this, obviously, Coach Bowles, I told him afterward, man, it is a fucking honor to go and try and beat your football team every single time, because God damn, you guys are always prepared. You always have a great understanding.
00:34:46 Speaker_02
And you guys always mold the defense based off of which opponent you play. So you can't really get a lot of like, I don't know, scheme up against you. You just got to kind of go out there and be at your best for sure.
00:34:57 Speaker_02
And man, I'll tell you what, I just think when you're in an away team, when you're at an away stadium, I feel like you go for it. I think at home, you got home field advantage.
00:35:07 Speaker_05
You got a lot, a lot more energy on your side.
00:35:10 Speaker_02
Yeah, I think try and end it right there instead of in and especially with the overtime rules in the regular season where you're not guaranteed a possession if the other team scores a touchdown, you just know you, you don't know whether or not you're going to get that ball back.
00:35:24 Speaker_05
I kind of agree with you, but I'll kind of back tied up a little bit. I've been a part of this before we scored. Dougie P's first year we're in Baltimore. We have a great late minute drive and we elect to go for two to end the game.
00:35:38 Speaker_04
Yeah.
00:35:39 Speaker_05
And yeah, we definitely got a blood zero and we did not connect and the game was over and we lost. So it's one of those decisions like, you know, it's 50 50. I think with Pat there in Arrowhead, let's just try and get it done.
00:35:51 Speaker_05
Let's not even give him a chance to get the ball back and really make something happen. But I kind of see both sides of it. Chiefs win in OT, obviously. The coin toss goes the Chiefs way and the Bucs never touch the ball again.
00:36:03 Speaker_05
Look at Baker's head the moment that he knew he knew.
00:36:08 Speaker_02
I mean, I don't know. I think it's just the damn because you get you get the pig heads or tails. It's it's such a fucking silly. I think it's such a wild like scenario to like put it into a coin flip on who's who gets the ball.
00:36:27 Speaker_05
Oh, I think it's great. How would you know?
00:36:29 Speaker_02
I love it. I just think it's just so wild that that's what it comes down to.
00:36:33 Speaker_05
Well, you still have to drive the full 100 percent.
00:36:36 Speaker_02
I think. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But it's such an advantage to get the ball first. And I think that's what he's like. Oh, they got the advantage. I don't think he's like, oh, that's the game. You know, I don't think Baker's thinking that, you know.
00:36:48 Speaker_05
So I'll say this. I don't even know if I want to share this. So, yeah, I don't know if I want to say this. Anyway, so yeah, you're a tails guy.
00:37:02 Speaker_02
I'm uh, yeah, I don't, I'll tell you after my career what I am.
00:37:06 Speaker_05
Fine. All right. Oh, you, you always pick the opposite one of whatever is on his face up.
00:37:10 Speaker_02
No, no. I just have a strategy of like, I don't know.
00:37:13 Speaker_05
You don't have any strategy.
00:37:14 Speaker_02
I do. I do. And then, and it's so dumb to try and have a strategy on coin flipping.
00:37:19 Speaker_05
My strategy worked. Kareem Hunt finished with 27 carries, uh, 106 and a touchdown. He also was the one to punch it in. from the two-yard line for the game winner in overtime.
00:37:32 Speaker_02
Game winner, baby.
00:37:33 Speaker_05
How about that? Coming off the street, little Cleveland native guy getting involved. The bulk of Hunt's carries came in the second half. The Chiefs become a ground-and-pound team. We talked about it a little bit on the desk. You guys are running the ball.
00:37:45 Speaker_05
Well, I don't know. I guess it probably still rings true from this game. Over 40% of the offensive plays have been run calls, which is the highest in Pat's career.
00:37:56 Speaker_05
I don't know if that stat is exclusively first, second down, like run situation or if that's like a generic, but either way, you guys are running more than ever since Pat Mahomes has been the quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs.
00:38:07 Speaker_05
I think it's probably multifaceted, right? One, you guys have a great offensive line and you're having a lot of success, so you're going to keep doing it.
00:38:17 Speaker_05
But then two, the way defenses are playing this year, we've talked about it, like run yardages up across the league.
00:38:23 Speaker_05
And this is just a mark of a great coach who's like, hey, listen, teams are playing these soft coverages, keep everything in front of it. So we're going to freaking get after it and take what they're giving us.
00:38:32 Speaker_02
Is that fair to say? I think I think it's every team is different, right? Every team is different. Their mold is different. Their weapons are different. Right now, our offensive line is they're moving the pile, man. Yeah.
00:38:43 Speaker_02
And our offensive run coordinator, Coach Andy Heck, he he has been dialing those things up and figuring out the best situation, the best runs to, you know, put our guys in the best situation out there on the field.
00:38:56 Speaker_02
And that's including, you know, the tight ends. That's including the you know, the interior three that we got the big the
00:39:02 Speaker_02
three-headed monster we got in big toony Creed and Trey Smith and You add one yay Morris in there who's been blocking his ass off since he's been given the start and on top of that, you know Juwan Taylor's been playing his tail off these past two three weeks, man.
00:39:17 Speaker_02
I And I think our offensive line is one of our best weapons, if not our best weapon right now. I mean, obviously, having Kareem Hunt and D-Hob come in and kind of steal the show and come up big for us, I mean, that's huge as well.
00:39:29 Speaker_02
But at the same time, you know, our offensive line is playing their ass off. And you want to always give Pat Mahomes the fucking ball. He's the best player in the National Football League.
00:39:40 Speaker_02
Giving him the ball and letting him dissect the defense, giving him more than one option. I think that is a great situation to put your football team in. But sometimes just handing that thing off to a hungry dog, man.
00:39:52 Speaker_02
Handing that thing off to Kareem Hunt or Carson Steele and get them boys rolling downhill. Yeah, baby. That's a great fucking situation to have us in as well. And, uh, sure enough, we're just, uh, we're finding ways to get the ball downfield.
00:40:04 Speaker_02
And you already mentioned it, a few big time long drives. I think we had a 19 play long drive last week.
00:40:11 Speaker_02
We had two over 15 this, this week and ending them with touchdowns is so, it's so fucking big and demoralizing for a defense to, to tax them and weigh out, put that much weight, uh, put that much fucking strain on them.
00:40:27 Speaker_02
And it just makes it easier for everything else in the in the offense when you get that run game going, man.
00:40:34 Speaker_05
No doubt. Well, let's get to the LeBron stat of the game. Travis Kelsey is the first 35 plus year old with 14 plus catches in a game at any position. That's right.
00:40:47 Speaker_02
That is a great stat. I could have been the first 35-year-old to have 15 if I didn't drop the fucking ball.
00:40:54 Speaker_05
Well, stats are for nerds, but Travis had 28 catches in the first six games and 24 in the last two. What's caused the big Yeti renaissance midseason here?
00:41:05 Speaker_02
I don't know. I think we're just playing fucking ball and Pat's been finding me. I've been finding open voids and Pat's been trusting it and we've just been on the same page, man. I didn't think we were ever off of the same page.
00:41:18 Speaker_02
I think Pat's just fucking throwing me the ball now.
00:41:20 Speaker_05
Doesn't feel like it's in Pat's head either, because he was asked about it after the game. He's asked about the 14 catches. He said, I didn't even realize he had that many catches. So it sounds like everybody's just out there playing.
00:41:30 Speaker_02
We're just out there fucking trying to get the ball down the fucking field.
00:41:34 Speaker_05
He also said he could have sworn you've had a game with like 16 receptions.
00:41:38 Speaker_02
Have I? No, I don't think so.
00:41:40 Speaker_05
According to the record books.
00:41:42 Speaker_02
But is it was that is 14 the most I've ever had?
00:41:45 Speaker_05
Believe so.
00:41:46 Speaker_02
Nice.
00:41:47 Speaker_05
All right, another stat with his touchdown catch from the Holmes. DeAndre Hopkins has now caught a touchdown pass from 14 different players.
00:41:54 Speaker_02
God damn.
00:41:56 Speaker_05
Yeah, how about that? Holy shit. Week nine next week, the Chiefs are home against the Broncos. Division rival, baby. Yeah, man, Broncos. Brocks have been looking a lot better than they have the last couple years. Their defense has been pretty dang good.
00:42:12 Speaker_02
Pretty damn good. They got a fucking damn good defense.
00:42:14 Speaker_05
They do. Struggled against Baltimore, which is pretty common because Baltimore is really fucking good.
00:42:20 Speaker_02
Yeah.
00:42:21 Speaker_05
But I would not count on that happening two weeks in a row. These guys are they're physical, man. They play well on defense.
00:42:28 Speaker_02
No, we're going to be we're going to be at a fight with these guys. Yeah, 100 percent. Coach Peyton's got them got those guys over there fucking playing with some heart, man. And and obviously it being a division rival in Broncos chiefs.
00:42:40 Speaker_02
I mean, they're getting any bigger of a rivalry than that. And it's going to be it's going to be a tough one. I mean, it's at Arrowhead, but it's going to be a tough one, man. Good luck. Thank you, brother.
00:42:50 Speaker_02

Let's talk about the rest of the big storylines coming out of week nine, the NFL, and we'll start with the birds, baby. Oh, Eagles 28, Jags 23. Kind of. I don't want to. What is it? Was it a nail biter? It was.
00:46:52 Speaker_02
I mean, it's kind of nail biter score shows it. Jason, initial thoughts on the game.
00:46:56 Speaker_05
Yeah, I think the score doesn't really accurately reflect the Eagles. had like 450 yards. Jesus. Yeah, they put up a lot of yards. Lane Johnson had this quote after the game, it should have been a 40 point game. It was one of those games where
00:47:14 Speaker_05
The real thing that kind of like stalled them out a little bit was throughout the last two seasons, if it's ever fourth and one, we just go for it because the tush push happens at such a high rate, right?
00:47:25 Speaker_04
Yeah.
00:47:25 Speaker_05
And it just so happened there were like multiple points in this game where we were in fourth and one situations. And I don't know what Jacksonville was doing. I haven't like really narrowed in on it yet.
00:47:37 Speaker_05
But they kind of stalled out the tush push, which has not happened. They did two fourth down. They did two two point conversions that didn't work out. That left points off the board.
00:47:47 Speaker_05
There was a third down, a fourth down one that they tried another play on because they were struggling to run the tush push in the red zone.
00:47:55 Speaker_05
You know, all these things kind of, I think, threw them off their game a little bit, to be quite frank, and messed with something that's worked for a long time with them.
00:48:04 Speaker_04
Yeah.
00:48:04 Speaker_05
But why? And also Saquon had a fumble, unfortunately, that was kind of it was a fluke.
00:48:11 Speaker_05
I don't know if you saw that he got touched, but they said that the touch wasn't what caused him to fall, even though the touch clearly caused him to lose his footing. And then he fell and he fumbled like the ground caused it.
00:48:24 Speaker_05
And they picked it up for six. The Eagles, in my opinion, right now are playing actually really good football. That's what matters to me.
00:48:29 Speaker_02
They are fucking playing good football, no doubt.
00:48:32 Speaker_05
They've gotten back to their defense is playing very well. Offensively, they look much more in sync and balanced. Jalen is playing really well. He's taking care of the football.
00:48:44 Speaker_05
The Eagles have really rebounded from a couple bad losses from earlier in the season, have made the corrections, and I think they've done some really cool things or some really good things as of late.
00:48:56 Speaker_05
I think the more important thing is maybe the best hurdle I've ever seen. I don't even know. Like where do you even do this from?
00:49:03 Speaker_02
You just play ball, man. Your instincts take over. No, I think he was like, okay, the only way to get around this guy is to go over him right now. Spin, that spin was insane. That spin was insane. The guy was standing.
00:49:20 Speaker_02
If the play would have ended after the spin, we would still be sitting here like, bro, that was a crazy fuck. And then he did even more of the unthinkable and just said, fuck it, I'm gonna fucking do some like ballet shit and just fucking whoop.
00:49:34 Speaker_05
The Saquon Plié. Yeah, that was a very nice. I mean, that's up there with play of the year. There was a there was some really good plays from this past week. But I don't know that I'm given anything more than this is insane.
00:49:50 Speaker_02
Three. I mean, three, you make three guys miss on one play. It's fucking
00:49:54 Speaker_05
With a backwards hurdle, yeah. Dude, if you get clipped there, you're going backwards ass over teakettle. That's kind of dangerous. I hope he doesn't do this too much.
00:50:01 Speaker_02
I mean, especially with big 93 and fucking 52 closing in on you. Right.
00:50:06 Speaker_05
Saquon finished the game with 199 scrimmage yards, one touchdown.
00:50:09 Speaker_02
God damn, this dude is fucking balling right now, man. Holy shit.
00:50:14 Speaker_05
He's killing it. We also got an awesome clip of the bench reaction to the hurdle. Let's take a look at our guys. It's always fun when your teammates are genuinely shocked at how good you are. Everybody's like, Oh, look at my man.
00:50:39 Speaker_05
Read Blankenship's Home Alone face.
00:50:43 Speaker_02
That's good shit.
00:50:48 Speaker_03
That's so good.
00:50:50 Speaker_02
Nick Sirianni said it was the best play I've ever seen.
00:50:53 Speaker_02
What I think is so cool is there's going to be kids all over the country and all over Philadelphia trying to make that play and talking about that play and simulating that play as they play in backyard football or peewee football.
00:51:06 Speaker_02
Kids do not fucking do that.
00:51:08 Speaker_05
Yeah, please do not try and do not do that.
00:51:10 Speaker_02
That is that is the fastest way to break your neck. Do not. Football is not meant to be played in the air. I promise you that. Let's just take one Barkley and then you can do it unless you're an incredible athlete.
00:51:21 Speaker_02
If your athleticism is far more superior than everybody else is on the field, do whatever the fuck you want. But outside of that, not that is a safety hazard. You do not want to go into a game leaving the ground. I've landed on my head too many times.
00:51:36 Speaker_02
And we advise kids not to try and make this play at home.
00:51:40 Speaker_04
Yeah.
00:51:41 Speaker_02
But if you do it, fucking send it. Don't fucking be timid. Don't timidly. You got to fucking go for it. Yeah. Yeah. Either way. I don't know what I'm saying. Do it. Do it, kids. Dream big. Do just don't tell your mom. I told you to do it. Yeah.
00:51:57 Speaker_02
All right take one was asked about the play and he said I just I kind of just played football and that's the Typical blackout, you know, like I just do I just I just play ball divine We got a shout out, another incredible play.
00:52:13 Speaker_02
Skinny Batman with an insane one-handed touchdown catch in the fourth quarter. And this dude is fucking playing his mind out as well. I mean, the whole offense is really clicking right now, man. It's fun to watch the offensive lines.
00:52:25 Speaker_02
Oh my fucking God, that was a dime too. So perfect. Dude, these guys are fucking playing. It's exciting. Everybody seems to be fucking pumped for everybody. It looks like you guys just got the morale going right now in the Kelly Green. Yeah.
00:52:39 Speaker_02
And it was a third and 22.
00:52:41 Speaker_05
It was insane. And we're watching it. And when he connected, I thought he was out of bounds because that knee touches down out of bounds. And I'm watching it with Kylie. And I was like, no, no, no. Nobody's better around the sideline than Devontae.
00:52:53 Speaker_05
Look at his toes.
00:52:54 Speaker_02
She ain't lying.
00:52:54 Speaker_05
And his toes get down. Dude, there is something about Devontae around the sideline. He has the freaking most unreal knack for getting his toes down.
00:53:05 Speaker_02
He's going to make sure he's in bounds now.
00:53:07 Speaker_05
Watch. Left, right.
00:53:08 Speaker_02
He's going to make sure. He's going to make sure he's in bounds now.
00:53:12 Speaker_05
So impressive.
00:53:13 Speaker_02
That's a skill, man. That is a fucking skill to have the awareness of where you are and to have the body control. You got to have a strong ass fucking core to be doing shit like this. I promise you.
00:53:23 Speaker_05
No doubt. No doubt.
00:53:24 Speaker_02
Smitty is not underrated by any means. The guy, everybody knows he's a fucking baller, but I guess A.J. Brown being the big bad wolf that he is, man, it kind of takes a lot of the shine away from him.
00:53:35 Speaker_02
But this dude, he has been making plays and breaking dudes off in routes since he was in college. And he's a game time player. He's a ball player. He loves this shit.
00:53:46 Speaker_05
He's unreal.
00:53:47 Speaker_02
You can see how he gets excited after a big catch. You can see how his determination, his focus when he's running routes. This guy is a ball player, man. And you know, sometimes the biggest dude on the field, you know, the guy like A.J.
00:54:02 Speaker_02
Brown, who's like just a yoke. He looks like Batman, like a juggernaut. Yeah. You know, that guy is going to get a lot of attention to it. That takes nothing away from how guys in the league at least look at Smitty.
00:54:13 Speaker_05
Don't disagree with that one bit.
00:54:15 Speaker_02
Nikobe Dean getting a getting an interception, man. Nikobe Dean had an incredible, had incredible timing for his first ever interceptions with a minute 42 left in the game. Eagles up five and the Jags had the ball on the 13 yard line.
00:54:31 Speaker_02
Dean picks off Trevor Lawrence in the end zone. How about that, man? You got to love a fucking big defensive stand. Let's check this out.
00:54:40 Speaker_05
How about that?
00:54:41 Speaker_02
Just thrown just a little high and Dean was in the right place at the right time. Just made a fucking hell of a play on the ball. Gotta love it, man. I want to know what kind of, I don't really know what route and what.
00:54:53 Speaker_05
I think he's trying to run like a weird route. I was going to say too, like it's like a weird, like they motion them out and I don't know if the snap point was late. You know what I mean? Yeah. Sometimes when you're silent,
00:55:03 Speaker_05
Because I think they're clearly trying to get Nikobe caught up on the guy running his route in front of the running back. You know what I mean? So I think the snap probably should have happened earlier.
00:55:13 Speaker_05
And sometimes when you're on silent because of the way it happens, it just doesn't happen with the right timing.
00:55:19 Speaker_02
I mean, Trevor Lawrence is just putting a ball up to to this guy, hoping he can make a one on one play on it. And Nikobe had had different intentions. Right.
00:55:28 Speaker_05
Yeah. Nikobe made a great play.
00:55:30 Speaker_02
Yeah, he just it is what it is. You made a great play on the fucking ball, man.
00:55:34 Speaker_05
In the most crucial moment.
00:55:35 Speaker_02
Yeah. When the birds needed him the most, man. Of the three biggest plays of the game that we just talked about, which one do you think the Philly fans are remembering the most?
00:55:43 Speaker_05
I mean, come on. It's to say, come on now.
00:55:45 Speaker_02
Nobody's ever fucking seen somebody hurt somebody like that. Yeah. Yeah. Shout out to Saquad. LeBron stats of the game through eight games. Saquon Barkley is the third eagle to reach 1000 yards in eight games.
00:55:59 Speaker_02
Joining Leshawn McCoy, did it twice in 2011, 2013 and Brian Westbrook, 2007. The fans, the birds fans are. The Eagles fans are so lucky to have guys like you guys got some fucking historically good running backs. For sure.
00:56:16 Speaker_02
Ryan Westbrook, LaShawn McCoy, Saquad Barkley. Just using those quads to jump over everyone, forwards or backwards, doesn't fucking matter.
00:56:24 Speaker_02
Saquon Barkley's 443 rushing yards over the past three games are the most for an Eagles player in any three game stretch in the history of the Eagles. organization. How about that? That is a LeBron stat. If I've ever heard what he has been balling.
00:56:40 Speaker_02
Nice is is Saquon already on the Eagles running back Mount Rushmore. Oh my gosh, just just not just eight games into the season.
00:56:49 Speaker_05
I'm trying to think of who's who's up there right now. So Brian Westbrook, um, I'm sure it's Sean McCoy, Brian Westbrook. I think you probably Steve Van Buren, I think was a running back. You know, listen, he played in a different era, but
00:57:04 Speaker_02
You said yes without even saying yes.
00:57:07 Speaker_05
Yeah.
00:57:09 Speaker_02
Next week, the Eagles are away. They're going down to Dallas, playing the Cowboys, who have been struggling a little bit. They just announced that Dak Prescott is out for multiple weeks with a hamstring injury, unfortunately.
00:57:21 Speaker_05
Will they go Cooper Rush or Trey Lance?
00:57:23 Speaker_02
Cowboys are coming off their third straight loss, and the Eagles have not won in Dallas since, as you know, Jason, 2017. They got Cooper Rush back there taking snaps.
00:57:36 Speaker_05
Yeah, it's a Dallas has been a very difficult place to play. For some reason, they're not playing very good at home this year. Like last year, they didn't lose a single regular season game at home.
00:57:45 Speaker_05
They've had some great home field advantage and they've struggled for some reason this season. It's still the Cowboys. They're gonna get Micah back this week. Probably another defense has been struggling. Micah is a difference maker to the max.
00:57:59 Speaker_05
So, you know, listen, I know they're not playing very well. I think they just traded for, who did they just trade for today? They just traded for Mingo. So, individual games are always tough. In Dallas, we have struggled as of late.
00:58:12 Speaker_05
It would be awesome for the Eagles to finally get their first win since 2017 in Dallas. I know they're not playing great right now, but they're going to be fired and hungry. So, hopefully the Eagles can take care of business. All right.
00:58:23 Speaker_05
Week nine is week not too early to fire a coach. Apparently not for the saints. They're losing seven games straight. It's just been a wild ride for the saints. They blow teams out the first two games.
00:58:34 Speaker_05
It has been a, there's been a rough stretch for the saints ever since. Saints lose to the Panthers making a seven straight. And on Monday, Uh, they announced their parting ways with coach Dennis Allen.
00:58:47 Speaker_02
The firing comes after the team had a lot to say on social media to the entire team and started spilling their, their feelings, man. Cam Jordan, my guy tweeted out. We just lost to the Panthers dot, dot, dot. I love y'all.
00:59:05 Speaker_02
New Orleans truly had higher expectations and, uh, and the best of hopes for us. Uh, y'all deserve it. Yeah. I mean, it's tough, man. It's losing fucking sucks, man. St. Binks Saunders, Colin Saunders. Fans say keep losing so we can get number one pick.
00:59:25 Speaker_02
Hell, throw me in a QB shit. Let's have something fun to watch.
00:59:31 Speaker_05
The best was his next one. He said if that was a college bowl game that motherfucker would have been called the Cottonelle doo-doo bowl We just lost the Cottonelle doo-doo bowl shake my hand You might be honest up. Maybe this should start.
00:59:47 Speaker_05
Maybe Cottonelle should get in on this doo-doo bowl Everybody else is in the bowl game landscape.
00:59:53 Speaker_03
Ah, fuck Should the Panthers be offended by all this?
00:59:58 Speaker_05
I love that. I mean, listen, I was just talking trash on the Panthers. I wasn't even talking trash. I was just like, man, it sucks to be at this point in the season and just like zero hope. JC Horn had a good comment from the Panthers DB.
01:00:12 Speaker_05
Don't we got the same record or am I tripping?
01:00:16 Speaker_02
You do. You do have the same record. Also, should we should we get behind Colin playing QB? I mean, fuck the way he he ran back that the interception when we played him on Monday night.
01:00:27 Speaker_05
I'm behind Colin getting any more game time and airtime as possible. That dude is freaking hilarious.
01:00:33 Speaker_02
He is. He's fun as hell to watch with the ball in his hands. Fuck. Are players openly tweeting like this always going to be the end of like a coach's tenure?
01:00:41 Speaker_05
I don't know if it's always, I mean, tweets, it's really just like when you clearly see that, like, the team is just like lost. They're like.
01:00:50 Speaker_02
Any type of like, this definitely does not help.
01:00:53 Speaker_05
Yeah, like it doesn't have to come in the form of tweets. Sometimes it's in the building. But like, you know, once the team is kind of like we suck, like we kind of saw it low key. It was a clip from Dak Prescott last week, bro.
01:01:06 Speaker_02
He could have been talking about anybody, though. Yeah.
01:01:08 Speaker_05
OK. Yeah.
01:01:08 Speaker_02
He could have been talking about the fucking Mississippi. He could have been talking about, you know, his high school team. Well, you never know what that convo is about.
01:01:17 Speaker_05
Yeah, either way.
01:01:19 Speaker_02
Oh, he's talking about the cowboys.
01:01:23 Speaker_05
But yeah, not a good look. In some ways, I kind of feel bad. They've had a lot of injuries up front on their offensive line that has hindered them.
01:01:32 Speaker_05
Their defensive line, they've had a lot of guys leave over the last few years, like their personnel and the cap situation. I think Dennis Allen's a good defensive coach, but clearly it just wasn't going the right way.
01:01:45 Speaker_05
And when it's starting to go the other way, this is kind of what happens. It's a results-based league.
01:01:50 Speaker_03
Yeah.
01:01:51 Speaker_05
Anyways, I'm sure he'll land on his feet. He's a good coach.
01:01:53 Speaker_03
It's tough.
01:01:54 Speaker_05
And I give me the end for him. And hopefully we get a bunch of great content from the Saints players the rest of the season. Sir, Biggie Moss, St. Biggie Moss, keep sending us the good stuff.
01:02:05 Speaker_02
Does the NFL have a quarterback development problem? Hmm. Coming off of the news of the Colts benching Anthony Richardson, Greg Olson was on the Ryan Rosillo podcast this week. Shout out to Rosillo. Shout out to Rosillo and said,
01:02:18 Speaker_02
In quotes, there's no doubt we have a quarterback problem in the NFL. I think a lot of it is man made. Asking your quarterback to stand in the shotgun, catch the ball and throw the ball every down is virtually impossible in today's day and age.
01:02:31 Speaker_02
These guys don't learn to get under center. I hear what Olson saying we were talking about earlier. Tom Brady said something very similar. Yes.
01:02:39 Speaker_02
how the quarterbacks aren't developed into a system, they kind of just get tossed into like the most convenient college system there is in college football, at least.
01:02:49 Speaker_02
And then once you get into the league, they're asked to do a lot of stuff from one formation. Yes. And that that can get very telling for a defense. And it doesn't necessarily put the quarterback in the best situation possible.
01:03:04 Speaker_02
Unless you have a quarterback that's got all the intangibles, and he can do stuff like that, like Jaden Daniels. Jaden Daniels, like Lamar Jackson, like, you know, I mean, like guys that are just, you know, they can do a lot with their feet.
01:03:17 Speaker_02
And that adds to another like, like a Jalen Hurts, you know, guys that that guys that can do a lot with their feet are typically the guys that can that can have success with just being in shotgun. And I think there is
01:03:31 Speaker_02
some point to be made that, you know, it's easier from the shotgun to see the entire field. When you're in the center, you turn your back to the defense a lot.
01:03:39 Speaker_04
Yeah.
01:03:39 Speaker_02
You know, if not every play. So unless we're going back to the old Joe Montana days or the John Elway days where you take a snap and you just start backpedaling as a QB drop. It's a very, you know, interesting point.
01:03:51 Speaker_02
And who knows what the actual like reasoning is? But it's definitely if you look at this list by Sam block on on Twitter.
01:04:00 Speaker_02
Yeah It is very interesting that all these big-name quarterbacks that had a lot of success in college And seem to have all the all the skills to be a pro quarterback have all been getting benched within their first three years. I
01:04:17 Speaker_05
Maybe I'm just used to this because I grew up in Cleveland and all of our quarterbacks, how many quarterbacks have we had played for the Cleveland Browns at this point?
01:04:24 Speaker_02
And how many quarterbacks have gone to have success in other situations, man?
01:04:28 Speaker_05
I think some of this is a little bit like, you know, some of these guys, you know, they're on bad teams or like it was, it was, it's systems like a lot of times the teams that are picking quarterbacks aren't necessarily like in the best position for a quarterback to flourish.
01:04:42 Speaker_05
So some of that has something to do with that.
01:04:43 Speaker_04
Yeah.
01:04:44 Speaker_05
I also think like a lot of like the college systems have changed and they're not the most multiple. It's very different from I think what a lot of the offenses that are having success in the NFL are doing right now.
01:05:00 Speaker_05
And I think successful quarterback play, successful offensive systems, a lot of it just comes down to like not being predictable. and like not giving things away.
01:05:10 Speaker_05
And to Greg's point, when you're in shotgun, you have to go above and beyond to hide things because where the back's at, it tips away a lot of things, whether it's protection wise, whether it's like run game wise.
01:05:24 Speaker_05
And if you want to live in that world, I'm a firm believer that you have to move the background constantly. You need to be moving it, not giving the defensive tells.
01:05:32 Speaker_05
There are teams that can operate really well in shotgun, but to what you were saying, like typically those are teams that have quarterbacks that have that threat of running. And it's an added element that makes it difficult.
01:05:46 Speaker_05
You think of like Lamar Jackson and they operate in pistol and gun a lot because they want that threat to be able to be an advantage for them. The under center stuff leads to some beautiful play actions, which lead to great shots down the field.
01:06:00 Speaker_05
I think all of it kind of works. It depends on who your guy is. But I do kind of think that, like a lot of the times, the quarterbacks that are coming out, it's all like the same stuff. It's all like the zone read.
01:06:12 Speaker_05
It's all like it just isn't as dynamic and different.
01:06:17 Speaker_02
These college offenses aren't necessarily giving them the, you know, and to I will say this, Pat Mahomes, he was the air raid offense. He was in that Texas Tech gunslinger. They made their offensive run game.
01:06:31 Speaker_02
Every single run game was like a quarterback draw like that, with like they're spreading you out five wide, four wide times a game in 11 personnel in 10 personnel. Guys are just and they're throwing the ball 60 times a game.
01:06:45 Speaker_04
Yeah.
01:06:46 Speaker_02
When he got to the league, Coach Reed's offense, you have to take snaps under center.
01:06:51 Speaker_04
Right.
01:06:51 Speaker_02
Like it. And I would love to even just ask Pat. I might have to go up to him tomorrow and ask him, you know, how much how much of a benefit is it? How much do you love going under center? How much do you feel more comfortable?
01:07:02 Speaker_02
Do you think it's added to your game? You know, I'd be curious to ask all these questions.
01:07:07 Speaker_02
Yeah, because a lot of these guys that are saying there's an NFL, there's a QB problem or development problem in the league are all old, old guys that played in pro style offenses.
01:07:16 Speaker_05
Well, Greg played with Cam and they did some reads and some shotgun stuff.
01:07:21 Speaker_02
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
01:07:23 Speaker_05
I don't know how to articulate it. I just think that like in college, I think to be very honest, I think in college, the game has erred on being simpler and like either utilizing speed or like zone read stuff.
01:07:37 Speaker_05
And they're not asked, the quarterbacks aren't asked to do all of these different concepts in different modes and like all this stuff that is going to have to happen at the next level so that you're not predictable.
01:07:47 Speaker_04
Yeah.
01:07:48 Speaker_05
Like they're not being developed as much in college. And then in the NFL, dude, it's to sit on a guy for three years that he's drafted in the first round. Like no team is doing that.
01:07:56 Speaker_05
Like nobody, like you, you, you, it's going to be hard to develop them.
01:08:01 Speaker_02
Nobody but Atlanta. Good point.
01:08:05 Speaker_05
And part of this is like the nature of the league. Like it used to be when you hired a coach, that it was like a three-year process. We're going to draft guys here.
01:08:13 Speaker_05
We know we're not going to be very good for like two or three years, but then hopefully in this third year, we're going to be building that. And that mindset has completely shifted. Like now people expect you to turn things around immediately.
01:08:24 Speaker_05
You might not be a playoff team immediately, but they want to see the team better and improving, right? Look at what they've done in Detroit with Dan Campbell. And like, that's one of the examples where they've trusted that process.
01:08:35 Speaker_05
They, they knew what they, what their longterm goal was and where they were going with it.
01:08:41 Speaker_05
And I think that the expectation now is so short sighted that these guys get rushed out there before they're ready in some instances, because there's pressure to play them immediately.
01:08:53 Speaker_02
And it's going to put ticket seats in the fucking for sure. Fans in the seats when you got the number one pick overall starting the game. It's like, yeah, I'm going to go see if that guy can really fucking spin it.
01:09:03 Speaker_05
Yeah, exactly. I don't know. I don't know how to tell when a quarterback's ready because I didn't play quarterback. I would love to hear Pat's mindset on that, to be honest with you.
01:09:11 Speaker_04
Yeah.
01:09:12 Speaker_05
Tom brought it up in the offseason, and I think it's kind of shown to be pretty true. We'll see.
01:09:18 Speaker_04
Yeah.
01:09:18 Speaker_05
Finish the sentence quarterback. The quarterback shouldn't start in the league until he's ready.
01:09:24 Speaker_02
I don't fucking know.
01:09:25 Speaker_05
Right. Specific to each quarterback.
01:09:28 Speaker_02
Yeah. Until the team trusts his accountability.
01:09:34 Speaker_05
Yeah, pretty much.
01:09:35 Speaker_02
Yeah.
01:09:36 Speaker_05
Until he needs to.
01:09:40 Speaker_02
Until we need to win football games and that guy's going to help us.
01:09:43 Speaker_05
which is right now. All right. I don't really know. Yeah, I guess that's it for that biggest surprise so far at the midway point of the season.
01:09:49 Speaker_05
Uh, the last thing about week nine, before we get to the second half of the season is we're going to talk about what has already happened. We're at the midpoint. What's the biggest surprise of our Cardinals are leading the NFC West. Not by much.
01:10:00 Speaker_03
What?
01:10:01 Speaker_05
Yeah, really? Well, they've won like three straight or two. Like they've sneaky, very sneaky, but the Rams and 49ers aren't far behind. They're playing better now. McCaffrey is coming back.
01:10:14 Speaker_05
The Rams just got back Cooper Cup and Puka when he doesn't punch people. So there's going to be, I don't think they end up winning the division, although they are doing some really good things.
01:10:24 Speaker_05
I bet it'll be either the Niners or the Rams, but Carl's been, dude, they can run the ball. Connor is a heck of a running back.
01:10:31 Speaker_02
Come on now, baby.
01:10:32 Speaker_05
Yeah.
01:10:33 Speaker_02
James, listen, he is a fucking dog. He's an absolute dog. And when you got Kyler back there shaking with him, man, that's a fucking high-powered offense, man.
01:10:42 Speaker_05
Commanders are leading the NFC East with a rookie quarterback. Are they leading or are they tied? I think they're tied with the Eagles. They might not have had their bye week yet, but Cowboys are three and five. I don't think anybody saw that coming.
01:10:57 Speaker_05
That might be the biggest pros. We'll see how they do this week against the Eagles. Everyone besides the Bills and the NFC East is under 500. I thought that conference was gonna be good. Two years now, I'm not betting on the AFC East ever again.
01:11:08 Speaker_05
I'm over it. I thought for sure, like, dude, Aaron's about to ball out, freaking the Dolphins are great, and then boom.
01:11:16 Speaker_02
I'm telling, man. Listen, they fucking the Jets found a way last week.
01:11:20 Speaker_05
Go get it, Wilson.
01:11:22 Speaker_02
That catch.
01:11:23 Speaker_05
We talked about Saquon's play. That one-hander, what in the hell was that?
01:11:29 Speaker_02
That was insane. One of the best catches in the league.
01:11:32 Speaker_05
Russ is cooking with the Steelers. I guess it's kind of surprising, but not really. Like, Russ has done this in the past.
01:11:37 Speaker_05
He's in a system now that he's more, like, that run-play-action system he had in Seattle with Marshawn and, like, they would take shots down the field. I think it's back to stuff that he's done really well in the past, so not that surprising.
01:11:52 Speaker_05
Lions being Super Bowl favorites, right? I mean, it's you and them. Is it surprising Lions being Super Bowl favorites?
01:11:57 Speaker_02
Yeah, they're they're not surprised by it, right? Yeah, they're they're they I mean, I mean, if we're being honest, they were scores in the fucking AFC championship.
01:12:08 Speaker_05
And if they should have been in this in the in the Super Bowl last year is what it is. But they're very good. Kirk Cousins has the Falcons in the lead of the NFC South. Now, I didn't see that coming. Tampa Bay, then New Orleans.
01:12:23 Speaker_05
That's not that surprising. I think the commanders are the biggest surprise. I did not want to understand.
01:12:26 Speaker_02
The commanders are the biggest surprise in the league. I think they've had the most juice around, like how surprising they've been playing this year. Yeah. And that has a lot to do with, you know, starting a rookie quarterback.
01:12:39 Speaker_05
who is playing out of his mind.
01:12:40 Speaker_02
Somebody was very well-developed. And you know what sounds like in the building? That he wants to be developed. Everybody says he's the first one in at 4 a.m. going over his shit, learning the offense.
01:12:51 Speaker_02
I've heard nothing but unbelievable things through this dude and how he loves the game of football.
01:12:55 Speaker_05
Dude, it's insane.
01:12:57 Speaker_02
So for all you young quarterbacks in there, if you don't want to be on that list of guys that have gotten benched in their first three years, maybe just show up and really desire and love the game of football.
01:13:08 Speaker_02
Not that any of those guys on that list didn't.
01:13:10 Speaker_05
Put some work in.
01:13:11 Speaker_02
You know, go above and beyond, baby. That always seems to put you in a good position.
01:13:15 Speaker_05
Addition of the year so far, Henry to the Ravens, Saquon to the Eagles, Kirk to Atlanta, Dehop to the Chiefs, Adams to the Jets.
01:13:24 Speaker_02
I mean, second to the Eagles is pretty fucking crazy. Dehop to the Chiefs, we've only seen two games and he's already showed up. So I don't like, listen, we'll see. We'll see how it all plays out, baby.
01:13:36 Speaker_05
Henry to the Ravens has been pretty unreal too. I mean, they were, the Ravens were already fantastic and Henry's just added a whole nother element.
01:13:43 Speaker_05
Yeah, well, Saquon has been able to do so far this year is pretty impressive team with a losing record that could sneak into the playoffs. Who's the team with a losing record that could sneak into the playoffs?
01:13:52 Speaker_02
And I have to say, it's probably one of those NFC East teams.
01:13:55 Speaker_05
Yeah, it's going to be wide open.
01:13:57 Speaker_02
I mean, AFC East. I don't know.
01:13:59 Speaker_05
Yeah, I know what you meant.
01:14:00 Speaker_02
Well, Bengals are playing better Bengals jets. I mean, I'm taking everybody with with a fucking quarterback. Typically, those guys find a way to win.
01:14:09 Speaker_05
Yeah. I mean, I want to say the Jets still it's just been Bucks.
01:14:13 Speaker_02
Bucks are a good football team, man. And Baker can fucking put up points, man.
01:14:17 Speaker_05
The problem with the Bucks is they have a tough schedule coming up. And I don't know when they're getting back Mike Evans. And I don't know how that affects them. And they're already two games out from Atlanta.
01:14:28 Speaker_05
I think the NFC is going to be pretty competitive there for those wildcards.
01:14:33 Speaker_02
Yeah, I'm going to take all the teams that are the closest to 500. I feel like the Colts. Colts are sneaky. Joe Flacco, man.
01:14:40 Speaker_05
I think there's gonna be more room to at the bottom of the AFC. I don't know why it just feels like there's gonna be.
01:14:46 Speaker_02
Who's in that conference?
01:14:47 Speaker_05
Colts, Titans, Texans, Titans, Jags.
01:14:51 Speaker_02
That's a fuck. God damn. I mean, that's the one right there. That's the conference. Whoever wins that division. So that's there's your answer. There you go. Rookie of the year so far, Jaden Daniels. I mean, it's not even close.
01:15:06 Speaker_02
I think Brock Bowers is playing his fucking ass off and he's he's putting up a fuck ton of yards. You can't take away with from what Jaden Daniels has been doing.
01:15:15 Speaker_05
I'd say I'll throw a sleeper in there. Quinion Mitchell has been fantastic. And like, normally I wouldn't say a defensive back. He's for the Eagles. He was our first round pick this year.
01:15:27 Speaker_05
I mean, he hasn't had like the interceptions, I guess, but he's been freaking locking. He's been a big boost to the secondary.
01:15:32 Speaker_02
Nice. A little shout out.
01:15:34 Speaker_05
Yeah. It's Jaden Daniels. It's Jaden Daniels.
01:15:36 Speaker_02
Yeah.
01:15:36 Speaker_05

01:17:29 Speaker_04
Yeah.
01:17:30 Speaker_05
I also, yeah, I got no, I want to know what the specific teams are. Is it Ohio state, Michigan?
01:17:34 Speaker_02
Yeah.
01:17:35 Speaker_05
Maybe, uh, like Auburn, Alabama. I don't know.
01:17:39 Speaker_02
I don't know either, but what are some fun bets? Who's got to take out the trash? Who's got to do the dishes? Who's got to change the diapers? Who's got to, you know?
01:17:46 Speaker_05
Putting chores on the line is always a good one.
01:17:48 Speaker_02
Wearing the other person's, you know, team into work or something make you feel real stupid out in public.
01:17:55 Speaker_05

Yep.
01:17:59 Speaker_05
You could definitely go with, you know, throw a little bit of that, like, hey.
01:18:06 Speaker_03

01:18:15 Speaker_05
I'm already on already. I'm already in a Kylie took to Twitter announcing that I'm already in the dog dog, not the dog. I'm in a dry spell right now. So I don't want to get into any more trouble with guys. So
01:18:31 Speaker_02
Oh, man, just throw on Jumanji, man. That's all I really got. All right. This is what being a diehard fan is about, though. Yeah. Having the fun back and forth, even if it's with a loved one. I mean, even more so. Right.
01:18:46 Speaker_02
It's just so much fun because it's like, you know, the person's true intentions. You're not going to get insulted by their by what they're saying. So really lay it lay it on them. I would feel real stupid for being a part of that fan base.
01:18:57 Speaker_05
Yeah. That's a playful way and a playful way.
01:19:01 Speaker_02
Yeah, of course. Always in a playful way. Never take it too serious, though.
