Gronk and Julian Edelman React to NFL Week 6 & Big Upsets | Gronk & Jules Show
1h 15m 32s
The week featured several high-impact NFL games that highlighted resilience, comebacks, and standout individual performances. The New England Patriots defeated the Jets in a tough, injury-riddled game, with Drake Maynard throwing three touchdowns despite a slow start, while the Bears delivered a dramatic road win over Atlanta, fueled by Caleb Williams’ return and strong defensive execution. In another key contest, the Browns shut out the Ravens with a disciplined second-half performance, showcasing their defensive strength. The Giants' narrow loss to the Saints, where Alvin Camero reached the 5,000-yard milestone, underscored the value of consistent, high-level play. Meanwhile, the Bills’ victory over the Raiders highlighted Josh Allen’s dominant performance and the growing role of Keon Coleman. The Cardinals’ upset win over the Rams, driven by a flawless field goal barrage, demonstrated the potential of a gritty, underdog team. Throughout, injuries, defensive pressure, and strategic adjustments shaped the outcomes, with several players stepping up in critical moments. The week also saw notable moments of cultural insight, such as Chris Hogan’s lacrosse background and the growing recognition of player development. These games collectively reflect the intensity and unpredictability of the NFL early season, where momentum shifts and individual brilliance often define the outcome.
An upset and foggy or London. Alvin Camero makes history. The paths are rolling. And the iceman takes over hot land, huh? This is week six in the National Football League. [MUSIC] It's time for our favorite games of the week. This is the six pack ladies and gentlemen. And we got a Lucy. And we got a Lucy. We got a Lucy. We found one of the, we found a Lucy. We're going to do it extra seven because there were so many good games. What's a Lucy term in a six pack? I never heard of that before, can you explain to me, Jules? Well, Lucy's if you, you know, you're outside the bar and you're trying to bum an old smoke off someone. But in this case, it's, it's an extra great game. It's an extra game. Yeah, it's an extra great game, Rob. It's an extra great game in the six pack. All right, I can get it. I understand now. I'm like reaching the back of the fridge. Oh, I never, I never, I never, I never smoked a cigarette before. So I, I don't know what a Lucy is outside of the bar, but I totally understand. I walk through, you know, people that, you know, been doing that before. So yeah, I get it. Let's hit it. Seven games this time instead of six. Yeah, baby. We got the extra point in there. Should we start up in New England? Let's start off in New England. Man, the paths are rolling, baby. Take care of business at Gillette. Win their third straight, get AJ Brown back, Gonzo's back, the Jets made it, made it a little interesting at the end, but New England takes care of business in this one, 26 to 19. Guys, what do we think here? Yeah, for me, I thought it was, it was a sloppy game. AJ looked a little rusty, which can be expected. I mean, he's been away from the game for about four weeks, three weeks, whatever it is. Anytime you come back from injury, you know, getting a live rep against live competition, is different than practice, your eyes are bouncing. He hasn't been running that fast. He hasn't had a guy in his back getting that ball. So, you know, it was a little sloppy there, but, you know, they took care of business for a sloppy game. They looked all right. I mean, there was two turnovers. They got to take care of the football, but Drake, three touchdowns once again, third time, you know, three games in a row with three touchdowns. Has it been done since Brady and Osa in 17? You know, the run game was effective. A lot of targets were getting hit. Pop had a couple really big plays and you got to, you got to tip your cap to, to the jets. I mean, they ran the ball pretty well, but some, some bad injuries for the Patriots. Oh my God, they're just piling up. It's getting a little bit ridiculous at this point. It is. It is a ridiculous, I feel bad for the Patriots. I really like that phrase. His eyes. What would you say? His eyes were jumping. Absolutely. His eyes were bouncing. Yeah, jumping bouncing. I totally understand that because my first time back on the practice field after missing, you know, a couple of weeks from injury or, you know, offseason and getting back on the field for OTAs, the first deep route you're running and you're looking up at the ball. It does feel like your eyes are bouncing around because they're not dialed in yet because you haven't had a rep like that. So totally understand what you mean by that. That was a great phrase. I got to give it to you. But the Pats, they won this game in the first quarter. They really did. I mean, the Jets, I think, had the ball for about two minutes on their first drive and then the Patriots got the ball back to score that touchdown. I think that's where the game was won and Drake may sitting in the pocket. I swear, he could have taken a dump and a porta potty. That's how much time he had in that pocket. So huge kudos to the offensive line, you know, for protecting him this game. Even though injuries were just piling up, especially at the offensive line position. But Drake may look down point, you know, another three touchdown game. Everyone contributed on the offensive side of the ball. Once again, it wasn't like anyone dominated. Romeo doves with that nice touchdown, you know, that nice deep pass. And why he got open was because of how much time Drake may have. When you have that much time, it doesn't matter who's guiding you. A DB is eventually going to give beat when a quarterback just sits in the pocket and has all day. That's what happened. That's what unfolded on that touchdown pass in the first quarter big time. But, you know, and AJ Brown, a little rusty had about four drops it looked like. But, you know, you got to discredit this game just because it's his first game back. His ankle might be, you know, bummed a little bit still. So we'll see how he bounces back after he's definitely showing big potential. Definitely helps out the offense. And if he catches those passes, I'm telling you, this offense would have exploded in the dominant of the Jets even more. It was a sloppy game, but it was zipped up for being sloppy. It was, but you know, you look at the stats that that I look at, I always look at turnovers. Look, you can't have two turnovers. That's, that's been biting them in the but all goddamn year. But you look at them on, on third down, eight for 15, that's really good. One for two on fourth down, you know, that's decent. Two for four in the red area, 50% like they can get better at that, but they're getting a couple touchdowns out of that and you look at their defense is over three for the Jets in the red area, over two on four down, 30% on third down, you know, like, like they played a solid game. So you know, yeah, it wasn't a good looking game, but this is week six and the excitement of the start of the seasons over, this is a really like the start of the grind. I always thought week six to about week 12. This is when like the light at the end of the tunnel is just a train. There's no like, you have nothing you're really looking forward to because you have all these games that are stacked up, you know, it's a tough part of the year and this is about trying to get better. They got better and some things third down, got to get better in red area, got to take care of the football. But look, that's a two win game division, Jets always play him pretty tough, play us pretty tough. And so that's a good win. Yes. The second, third quarter, that's where the game was sloppy, but it's versus a rival opponent. It's versus the New York Jets. They always played a Patriots tough, I mean, they've been, it's always been like that since, you know, since the time Julian. But what I really like by the Patriots is well, I talked about how they opened up the game. But also let's talk about how they closed the game. This is how the game was zipped up because they were, yeah, the final minute down, you know, they could have, you know, turned the ball back over on downs or punting it to give the Jets a final chance to go down and tie it up. But they absolutely dominated that line of scrimmage with their seventh, eighth, ninth, you know, offensive lineman on that roster. They controlled the line of scrimmage versus those massive bohemith defensive tackles that New York Jets have. And that's the type of win that you need when you're playing these games versus a rival opponent in your division. And that's why this game was zipped up, even though it was slapped me in the second and third quarter, the way they started, the way they finished. That's how you want to see it. And that's when you know you're a solid football team, you get the job done when it's truly necessary. Just, just keep stacking them up, boys. Just keep stacking week after week. Let's move on. Go on, right? Shout out to Cordy Keiner there at the end, 11 carries 57 yards. Yeah. Big kick, right? Right. He was big. A second year guy. Second year. He came through big there at the end, they were just standing in the rock, running the clock out. I love it. Should we be concerned about all these injuries? How concerned? How big is the panic meter right now, guys? Okay. Every way it's nice. I mean, I gotcha. It is. It's the national football league and this is a team that is led by their coach. They can fill in guys and they're going to, they're going to know what to do because it's a well coach football team. When you have a well coach football team with Raeble, Josh McDaniels, they know how to place guys in to when, when someone, when another starter or another guy gets hurt, that's what make them, you know, so dominant today is that they were that impressive, even with three offensive lineman down in this game. So it's a national football league, like Julian said. And now that we're talking about the pictures as well, let's give a shout out to Rob Ninkovitch. He's going into the Croatia Hall of Fame. I didn't even know he was Croatian, Rob Ninkovitch, congratulations man. You're finally getting the recognition you deserve, brother, man. That is really cool. I didn't know Cleveland was such a, you know, Hall of Fame type city. But congratulations, Ninkov, man, you deserve it. I love it. Right up there with Bill Bell and check and Luke, a muddridge man. Some great Croatians out there. A lot of Croatian. Shout out to him and we got to give a little shine to David Bailey, forced both those fumbles. Jets rookie. He's a beast. There you go. Got to watch out for him. Should we move on, fellas? Move on. All right. Then came back and made his return, felt a reminational football league. This was an unbelievable comeback, 31, 23 Chicago goes on the road, gets to win. They look like they're back on track. Caleb was unbelievable misgame, guys. What do you think about his return? I thought he looked smooth. I thought he looked calm. I talked about this on the kickoff show. Like I thought maybe being hurt for a few weeks and watching case kingdom go in and execute at a high level, beige it, went in there and had some decent production to see guys stay within the system. I thought it was going to help him and it looked like it helped him. He's he was 30 for 36. Unbelievable. I mean, 26 for 26 when they didn't have pressure with 255 yards. Like real? That's incredible. Like he looked poised. He still had some of those exciting plays like the the scramble played a lovelin hits lovelin on that first drive. You know, they were running the clock out. You know, you got to tip your cap to to Atlanta for making it, you know, a comeback at the end. But like they don't.
this game. I don't think the score was as close as it was. There's a lot of garbage time that Elena Falcons, you know, made up for. What do you think, Rob? Yeah, I really liked what you said about Kay Williams with that time off. You know, it's kind of similar to the Bryce Young situation, but just different contexts when Bryce Young got bench, you know, it definitely helped out Bryce Young. It lit that fire. It gave him that spark of, hey, you know, even though I was the number one pick overall, hey, I can still get bench. It's just brought him back down the earth. Yes, this is different context because Caleb Williams got hurt. But I felt like, you know, he was getting praise on the pedestal just a little bit too high. And then with Case Kingdom going in, you know, Beijing having, you know, some play as well. They're getting the hype. They want a game or two without it. Kind of lit that fire underneath Caleb Williams's booty. Like, hey, like, even though I was the first pick of, you know, overall, I'm in Chicago and I'm the quarterback, but look at, you can still get replaced just like that. And look at, he came back to show the world who he is. He showed that the Bears are dog bears. They're dominant on the off and side of the ball. And the emergence, uh, once again, of Colston Loveland, he had a breakout game. I think it's for real. I, I've been high on Colston Loveland for, you know, quite some time this whole off season going to the, you know, year this year. And this is his breakout game once again. And I believe that he stays on a high level. He had the nice touchdown catch, you know, under pressure, getting, it was contested. It was congested as well with the lane that he was in and he got hit as well. So he got big, made that catch. So that's good to see Luther Burton had his best game of the year, too. And if those two guys are on, they're young. They can continue the relationship and chemistry with Caleb Williams. They're going to keep being dominant. And it's, it's fun to watch your fun off and to watch your great for the NFL. But the Caleb Williams having a little time off. I, I think made him a better football player. And as you can tell from this game, the Andre Swift had two touchdowns burdened look good. You know, the rushing yards weren't through the roof for Chicago, but they were impactful runs when they needed them. Like at the end of the game. And they were, they just looked like a situationally, situationally right team. They ended the game. They didn't score the touchdown. They run the clock out. They looked like a pro football team. Atlanta, you can't turn the ball over three times. They were non-existent on third down at the beginning of the game. Fourth down, they were over three. They didn't have the ball at all, you know, like 40 to 20 minutes, you know, or 40 to 20. That's, that's tough. So, you know, it kind of looked like Penix was, he came out a little tentative at first. And then, you know, once the Bears, they just kept on scoring, it knocked Atlanta out of the way they like to play the game. And that's with Bijan Robinson running the football. They don't want to play ketchup. They don't want to have to sit and drop back pass and throw the ball a bunch. You know, they want to utilize Bijan Robinson and the other Robinson and use that, that, that run game to set up the past game. You know, because Chicago jumped out to an early lead, they couldn't get that going. So Chicago, that's, that's a great bounce back win for them last week, you know, kind of getting embarrassed by the Packers and it looked like they took that to heart at the beginning of this game when they came out and out physical Atlanta. So big win for Chicago. Great. And we had Tom on the call this week. And of course, we got to go over some Tom isms. What did he say? There were a couple big ones today. The one that's making waves is, I believe it was when Michael Penix was standing back in the pocket. He said he's buttering the biscuit. I don't know if I know that term. He said a good, what, what did he do? I'm not sure. I think he was just when he was back there kind of patting it and kind of taking all day. I think maybe he didn't let it loose. Maybe not. I get, I don't know. Are you familiar with that term? Is that a football term? We can't butter the biscuit in the pocket, bro. You got to let that thing go. Shit. Maybe he's trying to get a Popeye's deal about that. That's the only butter biscuit. I know about it. She's the way. Hey, hey, I, I, I, I, that first touchdown pass by Drake made to that. He was definitely buttering that biscuit. He had that much time. He wasn't a good way. There's no doubt about that. The ball was apparently gyrating out of his hands. Yeah, gyrating. I totally understand that because people have been saying that's what my dance moves represent me. Just gyrating for the last 15 years of my life. I'm shaking that thing. You can contest to that. Like I'm just shaking out. He's shaking. Yes. Jules. Hey, that's the ground move. Yeah, when he starts popping his butt out and stuff over here, trying to get a little J logo. What's it called where they shake the booty? Cardi B. I think I'm twerking. Yeah, but I'm really gyrating. My whole top body is just going. It's a fine line. It's a fine line. Yes. Yeah, it is a fine line. They're, they're very similar. Okay. Yeah, there's a, this is a big win for Chicago. Let's move on. I love it. Let's go down to Tampa here where Aaron Rogers completes one heck of a comeback to get their road win here. Win this thing 26 to 19 started the fourth quarter down 16 to three never gave up hung around all game. This was one heck of a road game. Jules, what did you think about this game? You know, I, you watched the first half and like the worst possible things that could have happened. Aaron Rogers tries to throw a screen. There's a pick. What was there? There was a couple drop balls. Wasn't there a fumble? Yeah, there's a bad couple bad sacks to a couple bad sacks. They were like a play away on every drive. And then, you know, you look at all. What's this? Jalen Daniels? Yes. Like he was playing really good. He was taking care of the football. He was taking off and running. You know, they were getting turnovers, you know, but I just thought, you know, it was a tale of two halves because in the second half in that fourth quarter, you watched Pittsburgh DK started to get involved. Warren had a couple big plays, Dowdell had a couple big runs. All those kind of little mishaps that were happening the first half, they were starting to hit and they just stuck around. And, you know, the defense made a play at the end of the game when they needed it. There was kind of a suspect and a clock management. Why I don't know why we threw the ball three times when we could have just like ran the clock out and kicked a field where one even had to go go to take a knee. Take it. Yeah, it was, I mean, Tampa had two timeouts left, but why are we throwing every time? I don't know. It was a little suspect to me. That was, I didn't love that. Didn't love that. But the rookie two are the second year guy from Alabama. What's the number 17? He had a good little game. He had some big plays. He scored the touchdown at the end. Help him win it. Yeah. Jury Nard Bernard. He was huge. He had 11 for 87. And he got out and touchdown. Like he had a lot of production. Guys, they just stuck around. Guys stepping on that field goal was big right before that. Pittsburgh Steelers, they're great at home. But they've been terrible on the road this year. But they picked it up in the second half. But the Pittsburgh Steelers, they were letting Jalen Daniels get into a flow. They're letting out everything underneath be completed. Like all the five yard passes, the dump offs, the crossers, all that good stuff, which was getting them on a flow. And the Buccaneers, you know, they were taking it. It was like a bend. Don't break defense. And when you have a team, I mean, I wouldn't say the Buccaneers, they're patient enough, you know, to just keep taking everything. But they kept, you know, using it to their advantage. And on the offence side of the ball, the Pittsburgh Steelers couldn't get anything going. The offensive line was stinking. And then finally, they leverage, you know, their start players. Jalen Warren at the running back position, DK Metcalf, you know, had an unbelievable game. He needs to step up all the time. And the offensive line started blocking. When this offensive line can block for the Steelers, you know, and give Aaron Rodgers time, he knows how to dissect the defense and put the ball to where it needs to be put, you know, for his wide receiver to make a play like DK Metcalf. So that tail of, you know, two halves, they picked it up, you know, they had that overtime win. They were more experienced, I would say, which got him this win, you know, for the Pittsburgh Steelers. But just overall, man, the Steelers, they need to come and play on the road, you know, right from the beginning or else versus any other team that's that's solved, you know, they're not going to be able to pull it off. I would say the main difference between this week and last week, they couldn't run the football. Like they couldn't get the run game going. And that's why they struggled. They were trying to rely on that run game early. And it got stuffed, you know, and that was kind of the difference between last week, the success they had on offense. And this week, you know, Vita Veita bowls, they know how to stop the run. They knew that, you know, Pittsburgh was going to try to come in there and run the football with Warren Warren could it gain going, Warren, man, out of the backfield, there's a couple of those little check downs where he did a couple spin moves, man, he's he's electric. He's exciting to watch. Jalen Ramsey had two sacks. Oh, he was huge. 10 tackles. 10 tackles. Oh, he smokes. He sacked. He ended the game. Like that was a big, big way to end the game on that blitz zero, unreal. They're playing the blitz zero game. You know, we got some Aaron Rogers fist bomb action in there. The big momentum back there. Big Mo back in Pittsburgh. Yes, they were the difference maker. They utilize their talent. They leverage them, you know, that's what they got to do weekend week out. They got a game plan to where, hey, you know, you're going to have a big game. It's not like the Pittsburgh Steelers offense, you know, it's distributed across the board, like the New England Patriots offense. Everyone contributes. Like DK Metcalf and Jalen Warren are going to have to have a big game. They're going to have to scheme things up for them to have big games every week, you know, along with a couple other guys every once in a while, you know, if they want to, you know, keep, you know, potentially putting up points on the off and side of the ball. But the biggest
difference maker in this game. The change of events was at bucks player Jamal Dean with that interception where he almost brought it to the house. That was the absolute game changer. That's what got the Steelers to win this game. So that was like a revenge game for Jamal Dean for letting the frickin bucks letting him go, you know, a couple years ago. And now that was payback with that interception. And tell you right now, Jalen Daniels, you know, he's playing himself into a backup role, you know, he just earned a couple more years in the league. Sure. And in more opportunities that, you know, he, he looked good. I, yeah, he had two picks. But like it, if he plays the game the right way, like he was doing early, you know, that was a good show on that first. He just got out, outlasted. I really do like this guy, Jalen Daniels. He definitely is playing himself into a backup role. If not a starting role in the future or backup role where, hey, it's possible, possible that you might be the starter this year. This is down the road. We're talking three, four, five years. But this guy looks like, you know, he can be a journeyman at minimum for a long, long time. He's definitely making money, you know, as the backup quarterback right now starting for the bucking years. He's making money down in the future. And he's very poised, you know, for undrafted rookie, you know, free agent quarterback. And just how he handles himself and represents himself, you know, he's going to be a hot commodity whenever he comes up in the free agent market as a backup quarterback. And you know, make dough. He's going to make some dough because of it. Lastly, before we move on, Pittsburgh is going next week to France. What's the over-under on Aaron Rodgers making some kind of thing about what's going on in France now? Oh, I would bet it, I'd put it at minus 1000. It's going to happen. He's going to get some little dig in there. He's going to be some passive aggressive. I can't wait. I love, we need the a rod. I love him. I live for Google, we need some discount double check in France. I always say, if we'll say, oh my goodness gracious. All right, move on. All right, moving on. Oh my goodness, move on. Let's head to the dog pound here next game. The browns going to brown. Don't let Todd Munkin here. You say, oh, don't let him hear you say that. This Browns stingy defense takes down Tyler Huntley. Shut them out in the second half. When this thing in a low scoring rock fight, 13 to 10 on a field goal is time expired. Browns, man, browns are looking good. George, what did you think? I talked about it in our show kickoff. I took the browns to win this game, and I talked about Rob, October game in Cleveland. What did you talk about? I just said it, when you play in Cleveland in like October, it's in that middle part of the season right now, off Lake Erie, the wind is ripping, the dog pounds go, it's a tough place to play. And I knew, you know, you watched the Browns defense. They've been really good these last few weeks. And then you watched the Sean Jackson. I had to like rewind it a couple of times. This is Sean from Houston. He was making guys miss out there. Yeah, he didn't light it up. He was only 16 for 26, but he took care of the football, you know, and he did his job. They got the win and they got the points at the end to get to get the field goal. I mean, it was, that's a big time win for these Browns, man. That's a big time. This could be the most surprising start of the national football league through week six. Unbelievable for their last five or wins. Robert, you a Browns believer? I'm not a Browns believer guy. I mean, they lost to the Jets last week. And when you lose to the Jets, you know, and then you beat the Ravens and the Ravens are a little bit beat up. They're definitely missing a little March. I'm not a full believer. They are, you know, outperforming my expectations this year. There's absolutely no doubt about that. But the Baltimore Ravens, I mean, they're offensive line. They couldn't create any holes in the line of scrimmage for Derek Henry to get to the second level. He was going to hit in the backfield a lot. He couldn't really get his motor going. And when you don't get Derek Henry going, I mean, it's going to be a long day for the Baltimore Ravens, especially if they don't have Lamar Jackson at the quarterback position. The defense played great for the Baltimore Ravens, but the offense was just horrendous where they just couldn't help out the defense. And that's eventually what gave, you know, the Cleveland Browns that win. So the Baltimore Ravens just keep shooting themselves on the foot. I have them as my Super Bowl favorite going into this year. But this is the second game where they're just blowing my mind of just not getting the job done. Yes, it's a division game in Cleveland. Like Julian said, the wind blowing off the lake, all that good stuff. It's the tough place to play. But still, if you're a Super Bowl, you know, favorite team, you got to win that game. There's no, there's no question about that. Yeah, I mean, I don't care what anyone says, man, these Browns are kind of decent. Like that defense. They are. They play hard. They have a really good corner. They play hard. Lights out. They've got good linebackers. They're, their, their box is really stacked. And like those two rookie receivers can set you on and Boston. They make plays like it's only a matter of time before they keep it going, man. And hopefully get on a page where, you know, if they take care of the football, they're going to be a tough, tough team to beat with that defense. And Junkins gets back. I mean, he didn't play today. Like he, he needs to get come back and he needs to get going. They need him to, to be the guy that they drafted them to be. They sure do. And you guys like Jerry Judy stepping up today. They was, I mean, what a good all-around performance from the team. Jerry Judy had a big catch in the fourth quarter. Big catch. Four for 69. Nice. Four for 69, Rob. If the Clee, oh, oh, oh, four for 69 by Jerry Judy. Yeah. Nice. Wow. That's pretty impressive. Judy. Wow. I like your stats. But if the Browns do make it to the playoffs this year, if they, if they end up pulling it off, I think Todd Munchkin is definitely, uh, I love calling him Munchkin because like the Munchkins, I get it Dunkin Donut. Like he kind of, he kind of like reminds me of that. But Todd Munchkin, even though, Shadow Dunkin Donuts, maybe he's, oh, yes, even though, hey, look it, I got my coffee right here, by the way, they keep me up throughout the whole show. But Todd Munchkin, he definitely will be up for coach of the year. Yeah. If the Browns do end up making the playoffs. Rob, you ever taken the Browns to the Super Bowl? What do you know about that? Yeah, I talked about that last week. I brought the Browns to the Super Bowl when I was taking a huge which I say, uh, a dump last week. That's a proper journey. That's not these Browns. Not these Browns. Browns. Let's go north. They're still high. Let's go stand up. Let's go. I love go get to Swenson burgers. I love these guys. Oh my god. Swenson. Is that the spot up there? I love what's an accruing? Okay, something. I love Swenson's guys. Let's head to the metal hands real quick for this wild one between the Giants and the Saints. Look like a full-on blowout. But income's double-nine. JJ McCarthy to make this thing a game. New Orleans escapes 3427. Rob, what did you think about James getting benched and JJ coming in and leading this crazy comeback? I mean, I think it was a necessary move. That's what it's all about. You play the best player. You play the guy that is going to give you the best chance to win. That's the national football league and that's why everyone loves the national football league as well. And I think all businesses should be run like the national football league. You just play the best guy that you have on your roster and you play the best guy that will give you a chance to win the football game. If you got to make a change, Harbo made the change. JJ McCarthy came in. That was the right move. You got to see what JJ McCarthy is about. He's been there now for whatever two weeks. He's understanding the playbook. He's building up the chemistry with his players on the offensive side of the ball. So that was the right time to put them in. He shows, you know, times of splashing, you know, and performing well, who you go with from here on out Harbo wasn't quick to say, hey, we're going to stick to JJ McCarthy, which I think that's the right play to say after a game with your emotions flying high after that type of defeat, especially going in thinking you're going to win the game in New Orleans. But you got to give, you know, credit to the Saints. They're streaky. Tyler Schuck, you don't know how he's going to perform this guy can throw up yards. He really can. He can throw four over 400 yards of game. He can throw touchdown passes, you know, throughout the whole entire game. You just don't know what you're going to get with them. They're a streaky team and they were that streak was hitting on all lens here today. Yeah, you know, Schuck had a decent game. He had he threw for three touchdowns, but he only threw for 144 yards. Like I think it was ultimately. Sometimes there's games. There's games where he can throw for 400, but very streaky. Yeah, so this so now he just showed that, hey, I can throw for touchdown passes. We don't need as many yards and now we could run the ball as well. That's that's a well balance. That's that's how you want to be throughout the year. Well balance team like that. Yeah, and I think the play of the game was that that play by Alvin Camero, that touchdown, that reception and it helped him join the 5,000, 5,000 club. Only six players and NFL history to be in that club, CMC, Tiki, Barbara, Marshall, Falk, Marcus Allen and Lenny Moore. So that's a that's a great group to be associated with. That's an awesome feat. He's been a great player for a long time. You know, and that was cool to see the Saints go out there and they'd be getting their teeth kicked in these last couple of weeks to go out and get a win on the road that they were favorite to win. I was disappointed with the
these giants. I was really, you can't, you know, it didn't look like a John Harball team today. You turn the ball over four times. Uh, you know, we have 10 penalties for 73 yards for four for 14. You can't win with that. You know, it was just, it was tough. And, you know, they tried to make a comeback. It was cool to see him fight. It was cool to see him fight till the very end. But, you know, they got, they got to get some things working over there. It was, they didn't place Skataboo. It looks like they benched him before the fumble last week. Tracey had some decent stuff going, but like, they got to find something. Malik neighbors, he made a couple big plays, though. He was big. You know, Malik neighbors. He's, he's a stud. 12 to 14. He is a stud. One time I walked, one time I walked by him and I was like, yo, who's that tight end in the NFL? That got to be a tight end. It was Malik neighbors. I was like, man, that's too massive for a wide receiver. He's got some size to him. You know, he's not just making big plays on the field. He's physically big as well and to be that size and the move like that. Yeah. It's, it's impressive. But Jules Alvin Camaro, man, another hack of a game. He's, he's having a low key, one of the best, you know, careers at the running back position, especially, you know, on, on third down. Is he a Hall of Famer in your eyes? I don't know. I can't. I don't. Where do you see him? I don't, I'm just wondering. I'm just, because he's, I'm not trying to, I like what you said. I don't speak on the Hall of Fame. But I'm just trying to put him in that category because he's been so great. Even though the Saints, they're not always talked about. They haven't been great, you know, the last couple of years they play, you know, in a week division. He hasn't been getting the national attention that he deserves individually as a player. I'm just saying, where do you kind of rank Alvin Camaro, especially after seeing him, you know, perform? I'm, I'm high on him. I love what he can do. How twitchy is? I think he's one of the twitchiest running backs and most lethal, you know, running backs on third down because of that, that twitchiness that he has. Yeah, no, he, I love the fact that he took a pay cut to stay in New Orleans. He loves New Orleans. It seems like he's, you know, a New Orleans guy. I just always remember him as a swaggy dude that made crazy plays with the dreads hanging out, the grill, the mouthpiece. Like he's just, he's out of a hell of a career. He's a, he's a freaking baller, man. He's, he's one of the best running backs of that generation. That's for sure. That's where I put him. And it looks like, yeah, there we go. I like that. And it's so great about him as well. It looks like he's not even trying the way that he spins and you like tiptoes all over the field. Like I swear, I'm like, that dude is not even trying to look like he's jogging and he's just pulling off what he's pulling off, you know, versus other NFL players. So yeah, good host, Alvin Camero. I just want to give him a little props because he's been doing it for a long time. Yeah. And he's doing at a high level even today. Shout out, Alvin Camero, man. Shout out, congratulations. A thousand yards from Scrimmage. Big win. Unbelievable. It's a big win for the, the Saints. I mean, on our show, we were talking, you know, about how the owner was, you know, saying she's going to make decisions about making changes and to go on the road in New York, get a dub with all that noise. That's, that's a cool win. Congrats guys. Let's move on. Amen. The Giants were kind of hot too. Yeah. Honestly, and I was like, let's go. Giant steam. Let's move on. The Saints. Out to the desert where the Buffalo bills turn the things are marching. They're marching in. It looked like a home game for the bills today. I mean, if you're just based on the crowd here, but this was a wild one. Another one that became a game. Didn't feel like a game. Kirk Cousins kept him in at the whole time. Buffalo escapes on the road. 33, 30. Josh Allen doing Josh Allen things. Robbie G, what did you think about this one with those Buffalo bills, man? Moving to five and one. I mean, a huge win for the Buffalo bills. They stayed out on the West Coast over the last week, especially, you know, which, which was just very, very smart move after they beat the Rams on Monday night football. And then they stayed out there where Josh Allen's from. He's from around that area in LA. So I'm sure he got to visit his friends and family, which kept them happy all week long where he felt truly at home. And that probably led to another great performance. You know, I'm not saying that's what the reason is, but, you know, it could be, and then they go to Vegas. And the guy just plays, you know, like Josh Allen does. And like he normally does. That's what you want to see, you know, out of the Buffalo bills. CJ, Gardener Johnson is my first question, Mark. Though you got to discipline him in every way possible. Yes, NFL is going to discipline him first. We saw after last year in the opening game with the Philadelphia Eagles and their defensive tackle went when he spit on the Dallas Cowboys player, deck press guy. Like, that's not allowed. Like, I thought the spinning would be done in the NFL after that example with Jalen Carter. Like, I don't see why, you know, a player would do that. It's stuck in everyone's mind. That's so unnecessary. If I'm the Buffalo bills, I'm disciplining him big time. I wouldn't want to like kick him off the team or anything. Even though it's kind of tending, trending a little bit to like question mark. Why is he on our team? He's he's calling out the Patriots, Efton Chisholm saying he's a practice squad player after he just made that, you know, terrific catch on you guys and basically won the game on their defense because of that catch. And now he's spinning on players, Brock Bowers, who's a great player. That's just disrespecting one of the best tight ends in the league. It doesn't make sense to me. This is all for another story, but that's going to hurt your team in the long run, but he is a good player. So just discipline him. And if he does it again, acts up again. I don't know what to do over there, but you got to keep him because he is doing, you know, good things for the Buffalo bills on the defensive side of ball, but overall Josh Allen dominated again. You know, these Buffalo bills are hot. Yeah, I thought it, you know, once again, you could say it was a good loss for the Raiders. I mean, you look at you take last week out against the Patriots where they got pretty beat, pretty bad. But you look at against Kansas City. You know, it was a close game. You look at Buffalo. It's a close, close game. You know, the turnover by my current is probably the only thing that differentiated it. You know, they need a receiver, I feel. I know Tucker had two touchdown grabs, had great plays at the end of the game, but like on, you know, on third down, they don't have like a receiver that can win on man covers. It feels like on the outside or, you know, in the middle of the field, they're killing it right now with Brock Bowers. Mayor had a huge game because they had like 10 guys on Brock Bowers. So mayor was eating, you know, but like when they take those two guys out, they need to have another guy on the perimeter or somewhere, you know, to get going. But, you know, it was a solid game. Raiders ran it to the very end. They didn't blink. You know, they were good on third down. That bills defense, man. They got to, they got to keep it going. They're winning games. Yeah, but, you know, Josh Allen's taking a lot of hits. He's got to do a lot of things to keep your team to win. And you, you don't want to be having all those eggs in one basket, you know, it's just not, it's not a way you want to live by. But, you know, hey, they're going to be tough to beat anytime you got Josh Allen. And today, no turnovers, no turnovers. That's big. That's big for those bills. And there wasn't no throws. There was no throws that Josh like just kind of tossed up. Was there any? I don't remember any of those. Just threw up there. No efforts, as they say. Yeah, no, no efforts. No, that was a. Hey, Kirk 300 over 300 yards. Do we see him indoors at any time soon? I don't think hurts the problem. I don't think it is either. I'm with you. I just don't, the claim I don't think Kirk Kirk is the problem. I think that the Raiders just don't know how to win yet, you know, after being like the organization that they ban over the last couple of years and laughing stock a little bit in that division. And now they're good. They're very sound like this team. It, you know, this team's product on the field, you know, is legit Kirk is playing lights out, you know, for Kirk cousins, you know, over 300 yards today, Brock Bowers. I was a Michael Mayer stepping up at the tight end position, which I think that's going to be one of the best combos in the future. Once they truly understand the chemistry between them and how lethal, you know, you can be as an offense with, you know, two tight end personnel on the offensive side of the ball with two guys that can do a lot, you know, out of that position and two totally different players at that position. Michael Mayer and Brock Bowers, but it's, it's not Kirk cousins. That's the problem. They just don't know how to win the Raiders. They are putting, you know, they're, they're good team. They're competing this year. It's so much better to watch them over the following, you know, over the last couple of years, you know, with how they've been performing, but it's fun, but they just don't know how to, you know, get over that hump against good teams. That Dean. He's a good football player on defense. Max Crosby. I mean, they stopped the run. Oh, yeah. You know, the bills had a hundred yards. They gash them at the end of the game, but like they, they controlled the run of the bills. Like they had a good plan. Bills were only four for 11 on third down. Like they played him tight. They didn't let Josh run all over him and let Josh run all over. Josh May have been a little tired from the Monday night game. I gotta say Josh Allen five carries one yard. Holy smokes. I mean, that's like a win, win, win, win, win. That's still good, though. It's really good. It's still good. Hey, he's still going to find that, that, that touchdown pass where he did the, how sick was that? The past, a 20 yard - That's a hard shovel pass, just bad. - That was crazy.
That was pretty incredible. Unreal. I mean, Josh Allen just finds new ways to impress us every week, him and my homes, all these guys, man. It's insane. And can we give a quick little shout out here to Keon Coleman? I mean, is he reemerges the real deal or what? After taking all that crap last year, your own owner, Trashinia, everyone Trashinia came Newton going on viral tirade against you like, yeah, but he needed it. He needed it. He was acting like a, I know, a knucklehead and he really grew up, you know, in these last few weeks when Moore has been out and they've needed him to, like, they needed him to do this two, three years ago, or they wouldn't have gotten more. That's true. So like, sometimes competition raises competition and, you know, guys change, like, he's grown up a little more and now we're starting to see the production. So we'd be thanking Keon, Newton, maybe? Well said, Joey. Yes. Well said, you know, definitely. You see a lot of players, you know, come into the NFL and like we said, it's kind of the way that college football has run now. These guys are getting paid, the NIO, they're all making money, you know, they're all praised tremendously. Let me get to a roster. They think it's going to be the same as how it's been in the NFL at times. I'm not saying this is the situation for Keon Coleman. I'm just saying, you know, you see this a lot, you know, with players thinking they're the commodity, no matter what, even though they're rookies or young bucks. And to see him grow up, to see how, you know, he is, you know, pursuing himself, how, how, you know, he's acting out there on the field. That's huge for the Buffalo Bills, especially when DJ Moore comes back. Keon Coleman, you know, is playing himself into a role to where Josh Allen can trust him, you know, on any given basis. Very good football game, heck of a game, heck of a game, and there's no quitting these writers. No quitting these guys. Can we move on to our Lucy? Let's, we got an extra today, guys. Let's move on. Seven seven some hanging on Lucy Goosey back in the fridge. Let's do it. Lucky number 7, 7, 11, hey, 7, 11, always open. Who was that player in the NFL one? How we were playing Chris Hogan, baby, shout out to the hogs. Shout out. Do you guys know he played lacrosse? No, I never heard of it. Did he? Oh, this is crazy. You think? I'll check. Hogan's is jacked right now. Is he really? Oh my god. No, it's so bad. What's he doing? He's lifting and just working out 24/7, I mean, he's out Dolphin and he's just sticking. Hogan's is good at every. He's a stick. Oh, he's a stick. Oh, I didn't realize that. Hogan's still like a single game. You don't want to get too muscle bound though. Dude, no, Hogan's, Hogan's a stud, right? All right. All right. He's looking. You know, he played lacrosse. I've heard that. You think nobody knows. People don't know. Oh my god. That's all right. Hey, you think bell check. No, Lucy played lacrosse, Joel. No, no, no. I don't think so. No, no, I don't think so. I think the first day that Hogan, we signed Hogan, Bill got his stick and played catch with him. I swear. Yeah, he did. I swear, I saw that. They want to play catch. They became it. They became his favorite player automatically right on the spot. Oh great. That thing, bro. Let's get into Lucy, bro. Oh, bro. This is a Lucy in an upset of a Lucy. The Arizona carnels, Mr. 285, Jacobi Bressett gets a fat check off this one 18 to 16. They beat the super team. The Rams. Oh my god. In LA. Yeah. Unbelievable. Behind the Patriots, Old Kicker, Chad Ryland, six for six, six for six, down, go the Rams. Down, go the Rams. What do you make of this? You know, the Rams look tired. Oh, they do lethargic. They look, they look. They look sluggish. They, I mean, they just played Monday night. They lose to the bills and an emotional game at home. And they're playing against a Arizona team that's kind of struggling. And so they kind of go into the game half-ass in it. You know, they don't have really any energy. And look, this is a national football league, the Arizona carnels say, hey, we're fucking coming to play. We're still here. We're still here. Come on. Kobe got that. He got you try to make 275,000 for every win, bro. He says sunlight. Thank you. Let's go. Shout out to Kobe. Talk around, man, Puka looked tired to me. He did. He was running on the catches like four days ago. That's true. Yeah. Yeah. Literally, he had 17 catches four days ago. It's crazy. We've had seen 217 catch games in the last two weeks. Wow. Him and CD. Unreal. You know, Puka. And he's so strong though, even though he was tired, he still almost broke that long ass run. He was, he was still fighting, baby. You know, I feel like for me, I think the Rams need to get back to run. Run in the football more. You know, I don't, I know they're paying up a tight end and they don't have Ferguson. And I know they're dealing with injuries there, but like, I feel like anytime Kyron Williams or, or Koram get the ball, it's like five yards. Like, why don't we just keep on doing it and run it, you know, and save our guys. Take the, take some pressure off of Stafford as well. They need to. There's a lot of pressure on him. They got to run the ball when they run the ball, even going back to last year, man. They can control the line of scrimmage, they can control the time of possession of the ball. But I, I'm kind of out on those Los Angeles Rams. I had them as my Super Bowl, you know, pick going into the season. And I finally thought, hey, a super team is finally going to be able to pull it off and win a Super Bowl like it's going to finally make sense. But I don't know what it is with these super teams like I'm, I'm all out. I'll never believe in a super team again, unless if the Rams can turn it around, but they just look like they're getting bullied on the football field, especially in that lot. We all blame the loss in the travel versus 49ers. Well, hey, that game must have might have been for real. They're definitely not better than the 49ers. They're not better than Seattle. Are they even going to make the playoffs? Maybe a wild card spot they're going to be fighting for, but they got to turn this season around. I think the panic meter is pretty high for Coach McVey. It's pretty high for the, for the Rams big time. But it's just they got to go out there and they got a punch, you know, their opponent in the face. It's like they're playing. Dippin. They're two days of football. They're dipping their toe. Just trying to feel the temperature of the water. We got to just dive in and ball in that bit, you know, just go all in Cannonball, baby. You're right. Don't dive. Don't, you know, those two four. Don't die. First to feel it out. Like they got out fish. Yes. They're not. Tell me you're finesse. You don't tell me they're not. They're not. Thank you. Thank you, Jack. You're not a football team. And if you're not a tough football team and you're playing the NFL, well, it doesn't matter who you got on your roster. You're not going to win games. You're not tough right now, but, you know, they still have a couple guys that are going to come back. But they can be. We got a. It's still early. It comes back. They didn't have a sack. It's so early. And McVey, they didn't sack. Jacobi were set. Like, that's crazy to me. You know, the two fourth down stops on the fourth and short or the, there was one fourth and short, right? And then I think there was like a fourth and five or something. That was bad. Who the Baker was flying around? Who the Baker made a huge play at the end of the game to stop him. That was freaking awesome. I got guys. I know I sound like the broken list of broken records, but can these Ram special teams catch a break? I mean. Oh, I feel. Groopy. That's a little group. Hey, shout out to the punter who came in and kicked the field goal. Next man to the punter. Next man up. He made that P.A.T. to give him the lead. And, you know, and also that that roughen the, or the unnecessary roughness defense of receiver. Yeah. It's a little even parrera, parrera pop back when we were watching the games. I don't know. I don't know. Jim. I don't know. Yeah. Either way. I mean, this is a team. Sean McVey beaten 16 out of 19 times. Hey, shout out the floor. Shout out the floor. We love this. We love all the floors. So where's the, where's the floor and the power rankings of the floor? Right. Well, we'll see about three hours. Two of them. We'll see about three hours after this. Okay. I'm buying stuff. Okay. Hey, decked us through an interception in the red area. So I think I'm going to packers. All right. Packers. All right. Packers a floor. No, but the floor. I mean, it's a big win for him and his team. He came from the Rams. Beat Sean McVey. Oh, man. Shout out. Shout out to the Cardinals, man. You guys are fighting your balls off. Don't write a lot of change. Marvin Harrison leaves. We're shipping guys out. Love's hurt. And they found a way to win this game against a team that they shouldn't have beat. So shout out. Shout out, man. That was a gritty road win. Gritty. I'm impressed with these guys. Shout out, Tramick Bryan. Oh, Rob. Tramick Bryan. How do he do today, Jack? He had seven catches for 53 yards. We got to get that. Yeah. No touchdowns. Yeah. Because they had six, the kicker, six for six. Yeah. And it's already touchdowns. That's a gritty win. That's a gritty win by the Cardinals. Gritty win. Just a win by six field goals. No touchdowns. That's crazy. That's that's freaking great. It's a great number 18. Don't write. Rob, you're coming to us from Boston. How does it feel to finally be home? Man, it's nice to kick back and just watch football on the couch all day and catch up on some sleep. I think that's most important for your recovery. And being in my own bed, oh, I'm telling you, it's so great to snuggle with Ralphie and my sheets. You've been on the go. Give us a rundown of where you've been this last month. All right, Jules. All right. We're talking LA, New York, Seattle, Texas, Oklahoma, Tampa. Now finally back to my home in the New England area. My favorite thing was just taking Ralphie on a late night walk in New York City. He absolutely loves it. He sniffs all the other dogs piece, which is a lot because I got a wipe his face after. But I'm telling you, like, it's joyful for him just to walk around at nighttime.
I'm in New York City, it's peaceful for myself as well. - Man, you're the busiest man in sports media. What was the highlight of all that travel? - I wouldn't say I'm the busiest man in sports media. I'm a busy guy, Julian, but not the busiest man in sports media. I take that as a compliment though, thank you very much. I know you see my travel schedule, but it's not being the busiest man, but I appreciate that. But it had to be coming to stay at your house when I was in LA. I love using your hot tub and sauna jewels and dipping my toes in the cold tub. I don't like to go fully in in the cold tub at your house, but the way that you just host me and you give me all these options to use for my recovery tools. Thank you, you're the best, I love it. - Well, you're welcome back anytime, Bubs, glad you made it home safe. But let that be a reminder to everyone that when you're away from your home, listed on Airbnb to make some extra cash. - Great call, jewels. Your home might be worth more than you think. Find out how much at airbmb.com/host. - All right, let's go onto the memes. - Let's go onto some memes, guys. This has been a great week of memes. - All week was amazing, today was amazing. And guys, I hate to pile on, we don't like to pile on the show. We're not pileers. But Bohnix this week is absolutely getting beaten down on the timeline. - Can we stop beating out my kid, the kid? - I hope we can stop beating him down. But this one, I got to share it. It is that impressive. Bohnix's average area yards per pass is 4.9 yards per attempt. I mean, he was averaging throws behind the line at the end of the game the other day. And someone made a little bit of a- - They got a win. - They made a video, they got a win. They got a win. They did win. But you'd think if you're going just off the memes, if you're going just off the memes, they lost. Someone made a little compilation of sort of equating how long each of these passes would be to clear other things. So for example here, it would take him 611 throws to cross the Golden Gate Bridge. - A lot of throws. - Oh my God, it would take him seven throws just to go the length of an NBA court. Seven throw, we need to stop. - Bro, an NBA court is not that long. - We need to stop. It would, they're four and two. - I know, but I'm just saying. It would take him through, it would take him multiple throws to get it past two pool tables. I mean, we're talking like sedans. He couldn't even get it over Honda Civic with one throw. - It's crazy. - Let my guy go through a bit of adversity. Come out of this bow. - Bro, I'm just saying- - Keep proving people wrong, bow. - 1975 throws to get to the top of Everest. - What is this? - If you got to prove someone wrong, you got to prove Jack wrong here, okay? He's going in on you. - Dude, prove him wrong. - Let's go, bow. - I think Rob could throw me longer than he is. - Show. - Maybe. - I think, I think we're probably good. - You probably, but we're not gonna try. - Oh my God, that's like- - We're gonna stay away from that. We don't wanna hurt you. We don't need you on the IER. - No, no, no blue tenses yet. We're not in San Francisco, okay? - This is true. How many, dude? I think we could get it in at least 500 throws. The length of the Golden Gate Bridge. Collectively. - What, throwing you? - No, throw, well, maybe me, but you guys throwing. You guys, you guys chucking that thing? Come on, dog. - Arid out a little bit. - Let the guy live. - Well, let's let him live. I'm sorry, but next, we're not piling on. Next meme. - All right. - Next one. - We'll get off the path. - Jack's piling on. - I'm piling on my piler. - Oh, this is a great one. - He's not a Denver. - This is a great one. - We're going to the college drinks. - This is hilarious. - We're going to the college drinks for this one. - We're training staff, my man on Memphis, my man on Memphis gets sniped, of course, Twitter gets dead. - Full big daddy. - Full big daddy, peeing against the wall. This was during the Memphis game this weekend, just, I mean, just gets caught peeing straight up against the wall in the corner. Don't be conspicuous, but the whole stadium can see you, bro. - This is on the, this is on the train, the training staff needs to get two towels and wrap it around my guy. Usually, that's what always happens. You got two trainers, they usually towel, you usually get on a knee by the dang coolers. - This is true. - This is about, you go. - Yes. - This is a pro move though. I mean, if you had to go. - Go point by Julian. - This is a pro move. I mean, look, this is, you got to go, you got to go. This was Benny Moomba, junior safety. - Please protect them on both sides, please protect them on the left, please protect them on the right. - Got to give them credit. - Yeah, what's the key to taking a good pee on the sidelines? Towels? Towels? - No, it's a, no. What Julian said, it's the training staff. You always go to the training staff first. Hey, I got to take a piss. And then, all the first eight kits, it looks like they're in a tool, a tool, you know, box. That stack pretty high. Then you can stand in front of that, get out one knee with the towels around you, or if it's super cold out, you use one of those, you know, jackets that keep you warm, sideline jackets. And you just kind of wing them out like you're flying, like you have a Superman cape on. And then you can't see anything. The cameras can't catch anything. Basically, you can also go in the tent, but, you know, it throws people off a little bit because of the cameras catch you. Hey, he's injured. He's going in the tent, but they don't really know you're just taking a piss. So that really doesn't happen anymore because it just causes too many problems. So I think they just save that for the injured guys. But I've taken about four or five pees on the sideline throughout my career. And it's necessary at times, because you're staying hydrated. You know, sometimes you get an IV before the game. And then the IV is going through you and it's time to take that pee. Now, in a cup, that's how you, that's how you truly raw dog it. If it's in a cup, next to the trash cans with two trainers holding up towels, and then you just dump it right into the trash cans, that's raw dog in a pee on the sidelines. Yeah. Okay. I was going to say that seems like a pretty, a pretty good pro tip there. We did have a Patriot take a dump on the sideline. Larry is though. Literally. How do you do it? Oh, no one asked me. We did. He dumped in the game and he literally actually dumped on the sideline. He took a shit on the sideline. I swear to God Jim Whaley tells a story. This guy took a dump in but it was, it was, it was terrible. It's a fucking, it's a, it's a legend. Wow. He took a dump on the sideline. This guy's a special team. He had time to go in. Yeah. You know, but he took a dump. He was so dedicated to the team. He couldn't leave the field one second. Shout out Larry. I need a 30 for 30 on that. That he's a full time. We do. We need a 30 for 30. Shit on the guy. What have I told you, a special teamer took a dump. Mid game. That's incredible. Hey, I, I've, I've never dumped my pants, but I've dumped before, but what saved me with a Patriots, they got to like the little tunnel that you go up to the locker room and there's a bathroom, like literally right there, the first five feet that you walk and you go to the right. I've gone there a couple times to take a dump. I think it was once or twice before to get a dump in real quick, which that bathroom came in into play hugely and Julian, you know the bathroom I'm talking about. I'm sure a couple other players have, but yeah, that bathroom has saved me a couple of times to get back on the field because if what's scary about it though is you're just not hoping for a turnover at that moment because they're hoping if they get a turnover, sudden change. Oh my gosh, you'll be screaming your name and you're going to be on that toilet wiping in. You're going to come out with shit all over the place. Hey, shout out to whoever put that locker or that bathroom there. That's great design. Great. Our context and we'll wash our hands before we shake it really, shake that in. Actually, I think I think it's, I think it's a bathroom for the cheerleader. I think it's a bathroom. No, the referees. It's for the, yeah, yeah, for their officials. Yeah. Sorry, officials. I like to imagine Lane Clark going in there out. Jean Stairtor. Jean Stairtor going in there. Oh God. Rob was in here again. His eyes watering. Oh my gosh. Speaking of refs, we had our boy Larry Smith go down today in over there in London. We had ref down, umpire Larry Smith, carted off with a non-contact injury, not good. And then his fellow referee here took a knee and had a sportsman, he gets sportsman ship of the ward. He does. He does sportsmanship. He said, Hey, I got to take a knee from a fallen all one. Everyone takes, everyone's taken a knee. What do you guys think? I mean, he said a prayer. He said it. Man. I hope he's going to be alright. They're even the boys, man. They are. They're brothers. That's a brotherhood. Man. Now you got to fly home from London. That's awesome though. Do refs have IR? I wonder who knows. They got a union now. I was going to say they don't. I mean, they got, he's got to get back to work this week. I don't know. They got, they got jobs. He got work means calm, holy smokes, non-contact, got to be careful. Hey, Jack, that's tough for him to go home to his family though. If I have a family, you know, that likes to bus balls at all, man, it's going to be a tough dinner, you know, for him, you know, throughout the whole entire week. Imagine though, if you got a wife that has some sarcasm on my, babe, I'm married to someone that got hurt as the official non-contact injury in an NFL game. Oh, man, that's going to be a long dinner. Yeah. It happened, dude. Don't just get hurt. You, you, you didn't even get touched, daddy. Yeah. You're like, trust. Don't hit you. Yeah. At least get truck stick. Exactly. That's my point. Man. That's to the wet surface. It was wet. So we'll give him that one, I guess. Tough wet surface. All right. That's his excuse. I like it. Oh, man. That's fine. It didn't stop there. The injury is extended. This was hilarious. The injury is extended to the coach. You see big Mike, big Mike was in the tent. Big Mike get the blue tent. Missed half the one's going out with big Mike. I saw this. What happened? He's not contacted. Did he go to kill these? Yeah. I think he was, he was trying to get to his, his media, his media obligation.
the halftime interview. And he kind of planted wrong. Mike, we feel for your brother. Oh, man. Big Mike. That's rough. Is he going to be buzzer off? I mean, Maddie, Maddie P in it. Remember Maddie P in the golf cart? Oh, Jesus, was that really? I forgot about that. Remember Maddie P broke his Achilles and then he was the Detroit head coach. And he was around on the quad. I mean, big Mike might be in the booth next week. Who knows? That's tough. They say he'll be up here. Twisted his ankle. Hopefully it's just a spring. Oh, he'll coach. He's a he's going to be coaching. Yeah, he's a Pittsburgh guy. He's tough. He's tough. Maybe a little dirt on that thing. Think it doesn't cement. You'll be good. And it hurts. But this isn't as bad as this isn't as bad as the referee, though, because the referee, the officials, they need to be in shape. You know, they'd be running up and down. You know, they're younger Mike McCarthy. He's got a pass, man. He's a coach. You know, coach, you know, if they got a jog, it's, you know, it's usually not a good scene. It's understandable. Coaches have a pass for any injury. And he had a, you know, do half-time interview. It was a little bit too far from him. So let them be Jack. I mean, I mean, I just want to begin a little total on there. You know, I'll tell you right now, Mike McCarthy. He's the type of coach that you want your coach to look like. You're right. You want your coach that you know, sitting back, eating a box of fritos and cheese it while he's watching. That's what I want. Amen. I want to go locking himself in the room, watching, eating snacks, watching film. Enough of these tight khaki hair gel. There's too many, like, there's too many of these, like fine cut nice fucking fade guys. All right. We need our coaches to be looking like Mike McCarthy. Now we're talking. That's a football coach. And then you, and then you have an excuse to limp off the field and be hurt in any situation that happens to you. Yes. How many times fades now? Why are these young ass head coach? I don't like it. I don't like it. I need my coach. Shout out the big Mike being coaches coach. Yes. 260. I'm with it, man. Come on now. Let's go, man. And get back on your road to recovery. Bubs. Hey, moving on. No, a turd, baby. Moving on. Hey, the memes, the memes and coaches are like, I mean, they're going together like spaghetti and meatball this week. We got another guy down. I love that. My guy Rob, how about my man, Danny Smith. He's testing the wind. Is it a fruit roll up wrapper? That's exactly what I thought it was. They said it was, uh, it was like taped from the way the tent. I thought he just tested it out of fruit roll up. That's what it looks like a fruit roll up wrapper. It does. I thought about the foot, fruit by the foot fellas. Oh, once in for all this. What's better? Fruit by the foot or fruit roll up fruit by the foot. I go. Are they the same fruit? Fruit by the foot. I think it's fruit by the foot. I think I've done saying fruit roll ups. No, yeah, yeah. It's fruit by the foot. Yeah, because it's a foot long the right. Oh, I think it's fruit by the foot for sure. Honestly, too. Fruit roll ups, too hard to eat. Get stuck in your teeth. It'd be really cool if he'd John daily that he had the cigarette. Yeah, like fluff, Tiger's old caddy or who was it? Tiger's old caddy fluff. You see that? And John daily did too. Yeah. Or the little lick of the finger. I bet you back in a day, the old special themes coaches were doing that for sure. All right, boys, should we, uh, should we hit a little NASCAR offense? Let's go NASCAR. Let's go hit some NASCAR. Yeah, let's go. Let's go. Let's go NASCAR NASCAR. Got to be quick. Got to be quick. Guys, Titans Colts 26, 20 Titans win. Wow. Let's go Titans defense. They look good. What's going on with the Indianapolis Colts? Do we have, were we on the sideline taking notes? Was it? I didn't, I didn't get confirmation. I'll have to look at NC. But that's a congrats to the Tennessee Titans for getting their first win. This was the grossest game. I think I'm the slate of games this week. There's no doubt about it. But this game ended up being like entertaining. So it was like the, you know, the gambler that's still up at 5 a.m., you know, and hitting big hands, hitting blackjack, you know, rolling the dice, rolling, you know, what he needs to roll. That's what this game was. Yeah, this is like when you go down and it's seven in the morning, you're playing PyGal. That's right, baby. That's real, that's real gambler hours real. Oh my gosh. It's this game. This game was for the degenerates. You know, it was a gross game, but you're still putting, you know, money on it and it came out to be. That's hard. That's hard. That's hard. You're just hoping for something. You know, I expect anything big, but you're hoping for something and this game turned into something and the Titans got their first win and turned out to be a good game, a good football game to watch. Shout out to the DGN up to 5 a.m. Panther's Eagles 25, 14 Panthers win it. Look, Eagles made it tough. Panthers needed to win this game to show that they're a real team. Look, they're the best team in that division right now, to me. Bryce Young, it's just showing that he's improving every single week. You know, stepping up, had a wonderful game and these Eagles are on life support right now if they're already not buried into the ground. It's crazy. Texans Jags 34, 31 Texans win it. The best the Texans run games looked all year. Marx was running the ball, which is crazy because the Jaguars have been a good solid defense. Had let up a run over 40 yards. Little, you know, little disappoint. I mean, look, Jaguar still scored 31 points. I mean, it was a close game, but what a turnaround for these Texans, two in a row. Collins, Nico Collins looked good. Big time. Harrison had a cup, three catches for no. Well, Noel had a big game. Texans are, they're finding something darn right. CJ Stroud, I'm starting to believe in him. We'll see what happens. You know, if they make the playoffs or not, you know, because of what happened last year, but CJ Stroud, you know, he took a chance on himself. He didn't take that contract that was offered to him, and I'm starting to believe, hey, is he the real deal? He's been performing at a high level, and he's got to keep playing like that. If they want to sniff and come close to the playoffs after that old and four start, but I would say the best old four team that we probably have ever seen in the NFL, and now they're starting to turn around. Don't write 312 and 3 TDs today. Chargers, chiefs, chiefs win at 22 to 6. Look, you know, chiefs didn't play their best game, but that's what a pro football team looks like when they don't play their best game. You know, you go out, you don't turn the ball over. You run the ball down their throat. We don't have it today with a lot of our stuff in the past game. But look, we're going to handle a division opponent that we should be 22 to 6 chiefs. I mean, people should start getting scared when they figure out that past game, that past game, which is only a matter of time with Patrick Mahomes. It's going to be scary. The defense playing good too. Big red kind of Walker, absolute savage. Cheese, K nine, love him. Guys, last but not least game balls, we got to go game balls. Let's give out some awards guys. Come on, make a close it out. First some game balls. And foremost, who is the employee of the week? Jules employee the week for me. I'm going Alvin Camara, Alvin Camara, AK AK, man, 5,000, 5,000 club. Got a big win in New York. You're getting the game ball. And if you play the game in touchdown running or shout out, shout out AK love AK Rob, what about you, man? I'm going to go with Kenneth Walker to touch on today. 128 yards on the ground. I mean, this guy's an absolute savage. He's the reason why the chiefs, you know, I mean, one of the main reasons why the chiefs are the chiefs right now. And it just proved how dangerous they are is when the past game really isn't working. There's nothing clicking. And Kenneth Walker is still grinding. He's still clicking. He's still running mean with the football. That just shows how dangerous his team can be because of him. Yeah, baby. And on the flip side of that coin, rough Monday incoming. Jules Rob, who you got? Well, I'm going to go with the loss. I'm going to go with my team that I've been going with all year jack. I'm going with the charges once again. I mean, it's just it's just brutal. It's going to be another rough Monday in comment. It's going to be until they at least get their first win. It's bad over there. I would have been just put in nothing going. Zach branch for the Lena Falcons. Two special teams fumbles. I mean, that is a huge part of why they lost. So I hate I hate putting a teamer on there, but you can't do that. Not to not you when you're carrying the football, you're carrying the lives of every person, not just in your organization, but in the fan base on the team, all the family members. That's how important the ball is. I want all you football players to understand. You're carrying the fate of everyone in the organization, the community. There's a lot of jobs that are being made off of this game. And if the team ain't going to win, people are going to get laid off. Ball security is job security. Come on, man, we got to have that. That could be said. That could be said by a lot of guys. Very sentimental there. Very sentimental. I've heard that a few times. Yes. That that was very emotional. You got me going. Thanks. Right. Oh my gosh. Let me wipe the tears from my eyes here real quick. As we move on to the Matthew Slater teamer of the week. And guys just a little bit of a PSA out there. The Vikings were on a buy. So we will not be going with the Vikings again. No, Matt Daniels. I hope you were enjoying that by we love your brother. We love that Viking special teams unit. But Jules, tell us what you got here. I know you got a you got a special group here today. It's got to be the Tennessee Titan special teams unit. You had the 58 yard point return by the rookie safety. How do you say his name? Capina Gushik and make on Gush. Gush by Gush would set up the
game winning touchdown, I believe the game time touchdown time touchdown. Yep. And then the block punt by James Williams and Ola Dejo took that thing and took for the TD, which that basically won them the game. Honestly, and the same, and those are all in the same house. And it's their first win. Look, huge. You know, sometimes you're going to need to make a few plays on special teams or on defense to get the team a win, especially if the offense is struggling like they have. It's always great to see the special teams be a huge part of why a team wins in that unit for the Tennessee Titans. That's a huge, that's, that's awesome, man. They got the first win that they were feeling pretty shitty for like the first, the first year, the first six weeks of the year. If you want to be a good football team, you got to be solid in all three phases of the game. And I'm not talking about Tennessee being a good football team. But I'm just saying overall for other teams, but Tennessee gets them the first, gets the first win because, you know, a main part was because of their special teams. But I want to give an honorable mention as well to a kicker out there who went six, four, six, long of 43 Chad Rhyland from the Arizona Cardinals. We don't usually do honorable mentions for special, you know, team player of the week, but shout out to Chad Rhyland, getting the win for the Arizona Cardinals, huge upset. We drafted them as the, the Patriots, you know, all right? A rally. What round? Fifth? What year? Like, I think what year after 2021? Yeah, fifth round. Yeah, fourth, 2021, 2023, actually, 2023 at a Maryland. Wow. Yeah, Maryland. Okay. Yeah, shout out, Chad Rhyland. Okay. Okay. If he was drafted that high, why, why did he, you know, get bounced from the Patriots? Where did it go wrong? You know, kicking, kicking is about getting hot. And right now he, he's clearly hot six for six. He wasn't hot for a while. Now he's hot. Man, he got, that's a, that's a big game. Go six for six. And the only points you have and win the game is from your kicker. Shout out, Chad. That's a big game, man. That was huge. He did his best. The game of the Chad. He did his best will record impression today. Yeah. Yeah. That was something else. And last guys, but certainly not least, who are we giving our big old W of the week to Rob start us off here, man? Oh, I'm going with the Texans over to jazz. It's a big win. And what's crazy is, is everyone's talking about Houston and they're not a good football team when they were on for, but if you look at it, I don't think they let up more than 20 points, you know, in any of those games that they lost as well. This is a good football team. They just couldn't win. They just didn't know how to win. And now the last two weeks they put together and they just beat the Jags in. It's kind of a home, home, you know, field advantage for the Jags as they play over and learning so much. Houston goes there. They beat them early morning here in America. The Texans, CJ Stroud, they're all catching up far. They're all, you know, gaining that chemistry that they, that they need, you know, to get going. So Texans over to Jags is my big old W of the week. I'm going with those cardinals, man. No one gave them a shot. I mean, I was talking to I was talking to Olsen. He came onto our show today and he was talking about having to do that game. And we're sitting there talking. We're like, me and dude. Rams are going to beat the shot. I'm right. We're like, yeah, right. Yeah. I was like, and they look. Cardinals go out and win in a given Sunday, any given Sunday, man. No, there ain't no buy weeks. No, man. I know. Yeah. But you know, the way that you guys said it was like, yeah, the Rams should beat the crap out of the card. So you kind of knew that there was something there with the Cardinals and you weren't really sure. You weren't infinite about it. And yeah, it's just you couldn't you couldn't really hold your head on anything that the Cardinals really do. Yeah, they get their competitive. They had a great week one against the Chargers. But what are the chargers? Like it's just one of those things. And they put it together, man. Got a big win stuck around massive massive win. meant Rob, I'm looking at this Texans Jags game. I can't see a game in London without thinking of your ground spike over there. I know it's a guard one. I can't I can't watch a game. Maybe my favorite ground spike of all time, but you know the guards. It was definitely my my best ground spike of all the time. The most memorable. And it was definitely because of the move that I pulled off before and shot up the Chandler Jones. We're sitting in the training staff room the night before I was like, go Chandler. I need a touchdown dance that relates to the people and running. He's like, what about those guys? Those guards that sitting in front of the gate and just march back and forth like pretend you're one of them. And I was practicing it in the training room the night before. And I was like, I looked at Chandler. I go, that's it. I'm going to do that. I'm going to get up. No hesitation. I'm scrolling tomorrow. And I want to do marching of the guards in London. And let me tell you it hit perfectly. The crowd went crazy for it. They were laughing. Like they were actually left. You heard the crowd laugh. That's how you know spot on I hit it. It was it was my best one. The legendary practice execution game reality, baby. That was unbelievable. Oh man. Good point. Boys, what a week. What a week. What a week.
