Gronk and Julian Edelman React to NFL Week 7 & Bad Officiating | Gronk & Jules Show

- A lot of people, when they get put in the doghouse, they can't get that paw, they can't have that, you know, right foot step back out, they stay in the doghouse, they stay in the cage and just-- - Get a way out. - Yeah, they whimper like a dog, mm-hmm, I was bad, I'm just gonna stay in the cage. No, he got right back out of the cage, learned his lesson, and that's when you know you're a good dog. (upbeat rock music) - All right, you know how we started off, it's with the six pack baby, hey, Jules, I feel like we need to get a beer sponsor soon, man. The six pack, you know, makes me thirsty thinking about it. I need like a beer for every game that we talk about in the six pack, that would be really cool. I feel lonely without drinking my hand, but hey, that's for the future. Right now, we just gotta focus on the six pack. That's more important. - Robbie's on. - On, baby, we're juiced a little bit, you know. - I had a couple of spressels from, you know, Dunkin, we go in baby, Jack, I feel like you got a couple as well. - I had six, a new high, the stats are insane. - He's leading the league, he's leading the league. - You had six expressels today? - I based it though, throughout the day. This is from like six a.m. to now. - Are you gonna have nine next week? - I might have nine, that would be six and nine. - So yeah, you might have nine. - Let's get out of this six pack spell. - All right, imagine the comments we would be saying if we had a beer during the six pack, and I was like, "Tipsy, yeah, all right, let's get it." - Just saying, I'm just saying. - Just saying. - Just saying. - Just saying. - All right, oh my goodness. Should we start? Let's start down in Houston guys for a wild one that needed over time to settle this thing. 27, 21, the Giants escape on the road. Scott was back, guys. Is double nine the guy or what? What do we think? - I think this was his best game, bro. - Yeah, but we're kind of at the 100 million percent with his best game as a pro. Come on now, Julian. I mean, the guy is throwing for basically 400 yards in the last five quarters that he's played, you know, the game of football with the New York Giants. But here's the thing, it's like the first week of the season we're overreacting here. It was his very first start with the New York Giants. Yeah, he's been dominant since he's been, you know, playing for the Giants, you know, since last week when he was put in in the fourth quarter, but he's doing great. But can you say is he the guy yet? I'm not 100% sure until you show that consistency. That's what it's all about in the NFL. Any quarterback can have one big game. We've seen that plenty of times, but I feel like he's on the right path. What I've seen with him, you know, in the last two weeks in New York, you saw none of that in Minnesota. Like it questions me, like what was going on with J.J. McCarthy in Minnesota? Was he unhappy? Was he in the wrong system? Did he not like his coaching staff? I mean, there's so many factors that play into it and all the factors had to be going against him. It wasn't just all, you know, he's unhappy, but he likes the coaching staff. All of them had to be going against him that he didn't like in order to be performing the way he was performing in Minnesota because all of a sudden he gets to the Giants. Hey, is this the right system for him? Is this the right coaching staff for him? And I think so. So we will see how consistent he is, but right now he has proven that he definitely needs to start again next week for the New York Giants. Yeah, he had a great game against a pretty solid defense. I know Houston hasn't been playing Houston type defense, but like he didn't even run the ball. He was having explosion plays. The guy is 20 for 28. I don't think I've ever seen a stat line like that from him. And it's crazy. It's crazy that he goes from Minnesota with QB whisperer, Kevin O'Connell. Yes. Two really great receivers to a New York Giants team that's kind of fighting, learning their own identity. And he has his best success. I mean, I think he's definitely the starter going forward and having a great run game like the Giants had today. Having the great run game really benefited JJ McCarthy. I mean, Skataboo. Oh my gosh. He looks like he's out of the dog house. Paul out. You saw him and Harbaugh at the end of the game like hugging each other out the single Terry with the walkoff against his old team. Like it was a really fun game. And it really shows like is John Harbaugh having the funnest he's had in a very long time because I think all the all the pressure he had, not just pressure, but like it really wasn't his team at the Ravens anymore. That was a Lamarist team. Now this is his team, you know, and it seems like he's having a fun time that guys are buying in. It was really cool to see Skataboo earn his way back into the lineup. Like this was a, and we cannot not talk about the defense. The defense locked down to CJ Stroud in that hot offense that was looking great for the last two weeks. I mean, CJ Stroud didn't play bad. They didn't turn the ball over, but they just couldn't get anything going. 153 yards in the air, that ain't much, man. - Hey. - Was the benching of Kam Skataboo last week the best thing for him so far early in his career? What do you think, Jules? - Yeah, it was, I mean. - I agree with you. No doubt about it. - Because it's not just for him. It's for the team. - Yes. - Like everyone's got to see, the ball is the most important thing in the world. - Say what you're carrying on your back when you have the ball in your hand. - You're carrying the fate of everyone in the organization, everyone in the fan base, everyone. And I feel like the leaves got in a little sloppy with that. Balls are out everywhere. Guys are not respecting the ball. And John Harball wanted to put a point out there to not just his team, but or not just Kam Skataboo, everyone on the team, like we're gonna respect the damn ball. And that's how it should be. This is a national football league, okay? There's a lot of JV-ness going on. There's a lot of JV-ness going on in this league right now. I'll be the theme of this episode. I mean, so much JV, it is making me sick, bro. This is not maddened. We can't be going for it. I'll fork down and I'm letting other games get into this. But it was really good that John Harball stuck to his guns, said, "Hey kid, you gotta sit this one out. You're in the dog house. You can't put the ball out. Put some on the bench, comes back. He gets fired up. He protects the ball. Yes, his biggest game as a pro. Seven-two carries, 124. Hard to study. Two big ones late in the game. Big one in OT. Shout out to Scott Mandu. And Scott showed mental toughness. He really did. He showed, it hurts when you put that ball down, you know? But if he didn't feel that, if he didn't get bench, maybe he thought it would be okay, you know? So shout out to Cam. And you show mental toughness as well when you do get benched. And then the next game, you're the starter. And you come out and you're playing lights out. You're playing, you know, like you're behind, you know, was lit on fire. And that's what Cam Skatabo did, dude. I mean, that big boy run that he had, you know, in the fourth and in overtime. I mean, you let the ball out of the dog house with Cam Skatabo in those situations. There's no question about that. And what if that happened? If he was bench, what do you've had a game like he had today? You know, it was his best game of his career, I believe, as well. And the guy just went out there firing on all cylinders. That's great coaching by Harbo, doing what he did in the situation, you know, last week and getting him going this week as well. And also it shows the toughness that Cam Skatabo has because a lot of people, when they get put in the dog house, they can't get that ball. They can't have that, you know, right foot step back out. They stay in the dog house. They stay in the cage and just get him in front. Yeah, they whimper like a dog, I was bad. I'm just going to stay in the cage. No, he got right back out of the cage, learned his lesson. And that's when you know you're a good doggy. I love it, baby. Guys, wait, wait, he got all those dog food commercials. This is, you know, you know, something Cam Skatabo, he's been eating Sundays. That's what he's been eating that Sunday. Yeah, Ralphie Rocky. I mean, I'm telling you, that Sunday's, it triggers my dog. So Cam Skatabo, he must have got a sniff of those Sundays. Oh, okay, no one's tackling me today. What day is it? Sunday. There you go. There it is, baby. Joel's circle. Before we move on, you got to make me a promise before this next one, I can't. Please don't get too fired up. Please don't flip chairs. Please set these stay in tax. This was, all right, go ahead. I want to try to promise. We got ahead to the moment. We'll try to promise. For an NFC North. I don't know why. The vision battle. The Lions win this thing. Despite all odds, despite decision making, despite referees decisions, despite the flags, 20 to 17, they take down the red hot packers. We got to talk about these officials, guys. Wow. I just finished up on the Fox Sunday show and I walk in. I go, Julian, what's wrong? You look tired and Julian goes, yeah, you don't understand. The referees have taken out of me. It's been JV football day. That's why I'm tired. I'm sick and tired of watching all this JV nonsense that's been going on, especially in the Green Bay versus the trite game. In Julian, explain to everyone what the JV football is. It's made you so tired. I need you awake. Wake up, buddy. I'm up. All right. There we go. I welcome up because I'm not JV. I'm varsity. Look. You know, we got your varsity, too. We understand there's going to be missed calls for there's going to be bad calls. But we need to do it consistently, man. That was, that was bad. And I hope to God. None of those refs are in the playoffs or near the Super Bowl. Because that was that who that's blasphemous blasphemous blasphemous blasphemous blasphemous. Blasphemous blasphemous blasphemous. I mean, I like that. I like that. I like that. That was Stephen A. Stephen A. That was the blasphemous blasphemous. We went full Stephen A. No. It was just, it was a lot, man. They missed calls. They had bad calls. Jared golf is getting personal foul like ruffing the passers when guys aren't even like that. That was one of the worst calls. There's two of them. Yes. The ruff in the passer brutal brutal call. Another thing. I know that. Troy one. And you can't take away from how good, you know, Amin Ross played and JMO played and Gibbs played, but they're gonna, it's gonna bite him in the butt when you go for it. Fourth and two on your 25. That's, that's not, that's not, that's J and in the four. That is JV. And it wasn't in the fourth quarter. Oh, yes. Yes. What was he thinking, man? That's terrible. They, they got away with the here. They got away with the green bay mist of field goal. Like they got away with the here lock right there. And you know, you know, you don't want to win games on just peer lock. That was, I mean, they've, they've done that a lot, man. And I've, I've talked about it at Nauseam, at Nauseam with, with MCDC. I love them to death. I love that he's an aggressive guy. I love the player coach that he is, but you get it too cute. You can't, look, now it's reckless. Yeah. All right. You're right. It's reckless. It's not aggressive, man. And it's just, it's gonna hurt you. I can tell you this right now. All Super Bowl winners are solid football teams. They're great. You can't do that. They play together. They're not reckless. They got to have no mistakes. They are a good football team. We got to evolve when you're reckless. It might win some games in the regular season. That's fine. But it's not going to win playoff games. It's not going to win Super Bowl. I love MCDC. I love them. I love them. I love them. Like we got to love his mentality. How about Jared golf? Not throwing a pick again, but he almost had like three. Almost. Almost sounds as well. I mean, he just threads the needle. That's why all these interceptions are almost. They're almost, but they're not almost because he knows what he's doing. He knows his arm that he has. He knows his arm's straight. He knows he can put it where he needs to put it. Now, it's pretty impressive to go through the first seven weeks and not throw a pick. What did we have on the Tom Bradyisms? We had some Bradyisms today. Yeah, because this was America's America's and America's great game. Great game. America deserves better. Great game for America besides the JV. Yes, there's a lot of JV. Yeah, a little disappointed about all right. On the Tom front here, we had more open than a parking lot on Sunday morning. We had he bent the corner like a paperclip. We had the fumble was a grease pig. Grease pig down there. Everybody going on a KBC. KB said, Tom goes, oh, a lot of crazy stuff happens at the bottom of those piles. KB goes, maybe we should do some of that for the team. We should do some like that. Whoa, KB. What are we talking about, buddy? There's a blue come. How about a truss fall? How about some down the middle like that? And then we got a taps him on the booty tap when they were doing a little defense of signal calling. And then my favorite at the end when KB was like, what if they throw it here when they were lining up for a cake time? We got to be aggressive. Let's win my six. Yeah, I know. Very Dan Campbell S. It's it's crazy. It truly is. It's literally. That is crazy. I want to know his reason. I haven't seen the press conference since the game, but I want to truly know his reasoning for going for it there. Because obviously the reporters are asking, Hey, what was your reasoning going for it on fourth and what three? It wasn't even like fourth and inches. What was it? Fourth and two? Like they had to they had to move the ball a decent, you know, a mount, which is two yards. That's a decent amount, especially when it's on your own. What 25 was it? 23 yard line. Terrible call. I mean, but I love his coaching style. Love him. But terrible call. It was a great play right before that play by the rookie linebacker. That was K Sean Nixon Nixon. That was such a great play. Really good stuff. Gibbs down on that that throw. I mean, that was a very heads up play. It was like he was blitzing. He came off and got him down and forced him into that fourth and two. That was great. The Packers. They got to get their intermediate past game going. And it was really good to see Josh Jacobs in the game. He had a couple great plays. I know the last one. He had the drop and it could have been the game winner. But we talked about it with AJ Brown. The eyes are probably bouncing hasn't been in football in a while. But he was good. They got to get the run game going. And I know they're struggling with the offense align. But like it really hurts them because they only got like chucking pray throws. Like they're just chucking and praying way too many. I mean, and I love Jordan love and to make those plays in his receivers, Watson. They can go up and get it. But like you can't live like we got to get an intermediate past game. They're just relying on the short game and deep ball only. Yeah, you got to get the intermediate past game going, especially crossing routes. Yeah. That's what really, you know, you know, gets an offense rolling. That's what really, you know, brings those explosive plays to the table as well. And Green Bay, though, what about, you know, their defensive side of the ball. They had to take away this game. Very impressive. And they are number one and take away so far this season. And they're still missing Michael Parsons. Wait till he comes back from the injury report. I think Green Bay is a very solid football team. This division is really tough. I think all four teams are above 500. So this was a big divisional game. This might, this game right here might go down to the wire and the season on why one of these teams makes the playoffs or wins the division, either or vice versa. But Green Bay, they're a hot team. How come out of the day? They really are. They played well today. Detroit's just a good football team as well. This game could have went either way. It's a division game. They both know each other. We knew the game would possibly go down to the wire, like always with these division games. But Green Bay is a hot team. And once they get Michael Parsons back, watch out. It could totally shift them to another tier as well. Truly, truly, but I got to go ahead. Jules, the three-headed monster that Detroit has. Man, Gibbs explosion. They just like I talked about it at the beginning of season. That's my favorite running back in the league. Him be John. Yeah, they're, they're very similar. They're, they're all three down backs. And you've got to appreciate that back. They, they can, they can hit a home run every time they touch on. Exactly. Saint Brown. Oh, I mean, he had 130 yards in the first half. Like he was real. He was killing it in jail. Man, when he gets going, the offense is on a whole another level. Like he had two touchdowns. He has those explosion plays a little quiet by our guy Laporta. Yeah. What happened there, man? You made the headlines for the wrong reasons. We won't, we won't get into it. Just like he shouldn't have gotten into it in the public. We're not going to get it. But maybe he was talking about it too much that it was national tight end day. So, you know, it maybe got to make a play. But I mean, when you got Jameson Williams just on fire, you got Aman Ross Saint Brown on fire. You got Gibbs on fire. There's going to be someone that's left out. It's going to be very difficult to say. Oh, Laporta Williams and, and Aman Saint Brown and Gibbs all went for over 100 yards, all participated at a high level. No, there's always going to be one or two guys left out in the mix. And you can't be but heard about it because you know your turn is going to be the following. They're going to hear your plays the next week. So that's what makes a great offense. Great though, is having so many weapons and some weapons not even being able to be utilized because other guys are on fire that week. Well, one weapon they try to utilize is Penaisoul. Exactly. I mean, honestly, that was insane for him to identify that it was zone coverage on crossers. And he stopped. He manipulated the linebacker to open up Jamo. I mean, he's a receiver. He literally looked like a tight end on that play as well. The way he was moving. But that was one of the biggest mistakes. You know, we were talking about how good the, you know, Packers defense been with the takeaways. But that was one of the biggest mistakes they made that game. Know your person now on the field. Know it's Penaisoul at the tight end position, running an under route and sitting in zone. All three of the defenders try to grasp on the swool on the route and zone coverage and left Jamison Williams wide open right there. And it was just a easy dump off to him and an easy score. Like know your person now. Amen. Especially that linebacker that that fell for. He went after Penaisoul. I was like, no, no, like respect Jamison Williams more in the passing game, bud. Lastly, before we move on, I think the ultimate separator in this game was just the physicality of the offense line for Detroit. I mean, they just look physical and they dominated it. They dominated the game and the Packers couldn't get it going on their offensive side of the ball with their line. And that's what, that's what came down. They came down to that right there. Because I mean, look, Detroit gives a ball away twice. You know, they didn't play their best game. They were they were over two on four down. They were five for 10 on third down. They were two for five in the red area. But like the physicality of just extending those those drives and having really good first and second downs with Gibbs. That's that's going to be tough to beat. I hope they evolve. I hope they evolve. Amen. As a team. There's no doubt. I like that, Jules. But let's move on to the next game. Enough of this game is six pack. My beer has been empty and minutes ago. By all right. Let's crack another one here. Let's crack another one. Let's go down to the eight. Let's crack a 40 ounce or here now, baby. Oh, this is a 40 ounce. This is a 40 ounce or maybe 49. Oh, 49 ounces. I see what you did there, baby. Let's go down to Atlanta with the unbeaten numbers. Oh, sorry, Jack. How good? Oh, good brother. Something very precious down in Atlanta, down in Atlanta. The undefeated Niners had trapped game written all over it, had trapped game written all over it. And by God, it was a trap 29, 20 Falcons with this thing undefeated. No more Niners go down and boy, where they banged up all day. I mean, this was just hard to watch. CMC taking hit after hit. What do you guys think about this one? Yeah, they just ran out of players. I know. Like CMC's banged up. I mean, you saw black. He had a really good game at running back. I mean, he put the ball on the ground, the backups backup, put up the ball on the ground. They had four turnovers as the Niners, you know, Brock didn't have his best game, which was going to happen here eventually. And Atlanta just, they beat him. I mean, it was, it was just like, you, you kind of knew it was going to happen. They're going into their by week next week. They're beat up. There's no Mike Evans. Everyone else had to step up for, the Niners. And it was, this is pro football. Why are the 49ers always injured? We're just not even talking about this year. Not last year. I'm talking like over the last four, five years. Why are they always injured, Jules? The substation, the substation. Really? Is that truly a thing you think? Yeah, it's, it's the substation. Yeah. All right. It's the substation. It drives out your ligaments. It does. It, it, it, it, I don't know, I don't know. It's, but why? I just hope they, I think they're getting a bunch of guys coming back here in the next couple of weeks. Both shall be coming back. I think that by week came at the perfect time for them. It really did. The by week that's coming up for them. I mean, these guys that are injured as well. It's not like, I think there's one or two guys out for the year, but there's just a lot of guys on IR that are designated to return. Like you said, Bosa, you know, Mike Evans, I think has like an rib injury or something along those lines. So he'll be back eventually in no time as well. So once they get all the players back, I don't think there's a panic meter at all for the San Francisco 49ers, but you know, this was a game. It was a trap game here, but it was a trap game that you kind of seen coming because Atlanta Falcons, they're potent. They really are. They're poised on the offensive side of the ball and they're on the defensive side of the ball. They're great runstoppers. They force you to throw the ball. And in this case, it was the best situation for Atlanta Falcons. The force of team to throw the ball because they're down their top six receivers, man, but also it just shows how good of a coaching staff the 49ers have as well because they have that next man up mentality and they're always ready to go. And also with Brock Purdy. Yeah, he had a down game, but like we talked about his top six receivers. I just said that were down, but Brock Purdy's playing at MVP level right now. And he's kind of an extension of Kyle Shanahan in the huddle. He makes sure they get into the right situation in the right play. Every single time he steps in the huddle. And that's what makes him so great at the quarterback position for Brock Purdy. But eventually if you don't have the weapons around you as well, you know, the magic is going to run out a little bit, but the magic will be back right away once Mike Evans and company start coming back after the by week. Yeah, I mean, on Atlanta though, look, you take the ball away four times. You play solid on offense. You don't you don't give the ball away. You're going to be in a lot of games. And, and you know, they kind of the Niners kind of bottled up be John. They, I mean, he didn't blow him up. Yeah, a bunch of plays here and there in the run and past game, but he only had 63 yards. He'll London was kind of, he had a couple big plays. He got right a tatted a little bit. And, you know, it. This was more on the Niners. It was definitely more on the Niners. The huge difference here is turnovers. You know, when when you can you can win a whole entire game. You can be dominant the whole entire game. But if you have four bad plays and they turn into turnovers, hey, guess what? You're not going to win that game. Yeah, you might win the game a small percentage, but you're most likely not going to win this game like in this situation. So this is a learning lesson for San Fran. Overall, I think San Fran was a better team. As you can see in the first half, but when you have four turnovers and the Falcons had zero, I mean, that's a huge difference here though. The 49ers beat themselves. I feel like more than the Atlanta Falcons won this game. But look, we heard it all the time in meetings. Most games, the National Football League are lost, not one. Okay, team that makes the least amount of mistakes because it's so equal. I mean, and that's a that's a great way to play. If you go out there, you're efficient, you know, you're four for 12 30% on third down. You really don't go forward on fourth down. You get a couple, you know, you're a couple of touchdowns in the red area out of five tries, but you don't turn them all over. You're going to be in games on right. You're going to be in games. This by we could not come in a better time for the Niners. Niners, they're going to be all right. I mean, they're still in like, it's an insane surprise that they're still set. What are they? Five and one. Five and one. They still have a Super Bowl team to you. Yeah, when their guys come back. Yeah, Mike Evans gets back. Amen. But, you know, the only thing that scares me. Substation. That's why they have so many subs. We're not talking meatball subs. No, we're talking substitutions. Substitutions. Substitutions. Hey, they got Jed York coming back off his six game suspension. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, Jackie. I've just seen if he could line up maybe. I don't know. We need everybody we get. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Who's out of six games? No one. No one. No one. No one. No one. No one. Oh, you got me there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You got me there. Wow, that was good. Jackie. Creative today. Oh, baby. Yeah, right over my head. It's a dunk. It's not the case. So I usually catch on everything. Let's go down to Nash Vegas. We got a munkin. We got Salah. We got a fourth quarter game winning drive. That makes five now for these brownies 27 24 browns win another one. I mean, are these guys? Are we buying the browns? Are we browns guys? What's their record, Jack? Right now, I think they're five and two. I think five and two. Oh, my gosh. Five and two. Am I buying the browns? No, I'm not. I'm not buying that yet. There's five and two on top. They have seen it. The schedule has been too easy. Yes, it has. They beat the rail. The rail is just got smoke by the Cincinnati Bengals. Let's pump the brakes. I don't think Lamar Jackson even put them either. They are to tell to have Baltimore ratings. We'll probably talk about that in a little bit, but the Cleveland Browns, you know, they got, you know, great mental toughness. There's absolutely, you know, no question about that. They were down 14, you know, to start the game and fall back to take a 17 14 lead at the half. So you got to believe in yourself. That's why I really like about Todd Munkett. They believe in themselves, you know, the being the situation that they were in at the beginning of the season with the Cleveland Browns, all the noise around them that they're going to finish like last place. I'm pretty sure a lot of people have them in last place. Everyone, everyone, everyone, every football pondering us, including us and me. He made this team believe that they can win that believe that they can go out there and produce and he did that again going down by 14 points. Hey, if you believe in yourself, you can always make that come back and win games. And that's what he's doing, Todd Munkett, he's making this team once again, believe, you know, and have heart. And that's good for the Cleveland Browns fans. Well, he was in our organization. Look, they got punched in the face. They went down 14 0 in this game on the road. They went 14, they were down 14 0. Let him follow, run all over him. And they're taking on like you just said, Rob, they're taking on the personality of their coach mentally tough guy mentally tough team showed it five games, game winning drives, five game winning drives, all their wins have come on game winning drives. That's that is tough football right there, playing good in the quarter quarter when they need to. I love Casey conception. That guy he's he's a special player. They got two really good young receivers, conception on Boston and the the second year tied in had a big play to put them into a Mac daddy. Harold Fannon. Is that a nickname Mac daddy? Who are we talking about? Harold Fannon. Oh, the tight end. Yeah. Oh solid man. Solid player. Big catches 91 yards. Beast. Just a mentally tough game. And they like you just said, Rob, they believe they can win. Like I know everyone's going to say, Oh, it's the Tennessee Titans. It's a national football league. Everyone's good. It doesn't matter. Everyone's good. And the Titans, they're competing. They really are. They're going out there and they're playing how Robert Salah has them playing hard. He's a guy that's not going to take any garbage. He's going to get his team ready. Yeah, out there and play hard. It's not going to be a lax of days ago performance. So yeah, it was a solid win. And anytime you can go down to the wire and win a game on these final drives. Like on the road, he's been doing on the road as well. That's a great point. That makes you, you know, that makes your football team, you know, a tough football team. That makes your football team confident. Yeah, confident. There we go. That was the word I was looking for. And also it makes some situational aware of what's going on as well. Boom, we have two minutes left. We have three minutes left in the game. This is what we got to do. We got to be punctual as well. And those are the best teams in the NFL that go to the fighters that are teams that know what to do in every single situation and be able to execute it as well. You know where that starts, Julian? It's practice. Practice. Well, maybe this should practice starting faster to them. Yeah, they should practice that. Let's start a little faster. Get that going. Brown's going to brown. Fuck that. Hey, shout out Tony Pollard had two tuts. He's had a big day. You know, you know, you haven't even had a couple big catches. You know, we're watching you Tennessee. We're watching you guys. Hey, there's a lot of might come. We're watching. I mean, they're not doing so well, but we're watching. We're watching. We see you. We see you. Yeah, maybe that's when things will start clicking is when the new stadium. Actually, I think the new stadium's coming in two years. They just start building it. Thank you. Yeah, we got to wait two years. Yeah, you know, they're not turning around next year either. We'll give them two years. We built a rebuild double rebuild. Yeah, double rebuild. Well, yeah, the team and the stadium. There it is. Oh, Jack. I love it. It's just true. They're going into the news. So maybe next. Oh, I like to pop the brags soup season. Oh, my gosh. Should we head to the desert? Let's Let's go to the desert. Let's go down to the desert where the Rams are at themselves. A little bit of a get right game behind Koram behind Kyron Williams, 35, 21. The Rams run all over Vegas and win this thing. They get back on track. What'd you think about the Rams in this one? I think that maybe having so many guys banged up in the past game, who could be in banged up, Devonte being out, you know, Ferguson's not in there. They're kind of on backup tight ends was the best thing for them because they ran the football ran that thing. Look, when the Rams run the football, it reminds me of like Todd Gurley days, you know, that's when they were killing guys and they were winning. Last year, you know, off the play action, Matthew Stafford was thriving. You know, there were still a couple things here and there that they missed on beats, but because they have such dynamic running backs, two running backs, you know, you know, you know, it was, you know, it was, you know, realize that talent. It was good. Yeah, I talked about the Rams earlier this morning and there was so many things that has gone wrong for them, but there's also so many reasons to be optimistic about their future, you know, for rest of the season this year. And one, they're a good football team. Obviously, as we can tell by their talent, they're a super team, but they just need to button up. They got to finish games. There are three losses besides that, well, they have four losses, but the three, the last three were by a combined, I think nine points. They were only by four points or less. And they've been playing solid football teams at beginning of the year. Very good teams, you know, they have a solid record that have been playing pretty good football. On top of that, they have a top three offense as well. They have a top three defense. Miles Garrett's going to be coming back eventually. And the biggest weakness for the Los Angeles Rams is their defensive line, getting to the opposing teams quarterback. So Miles Garrett can fix that problem instantly. And also their schedule was easing up big time until they're by week. They're next four games, well, including this game. So now their next three games were against teams. This was their best team that they were playing. The Raiders are against teams that were 500 or below. So there's a really a lot of reasons to, you know, be optimistic for the Los Angeles Rams to go forward to turn this season around and potentially still make the playoffs. And now they got the momentum going this way. They were desperate to get this win. And they played desperate to get this win. And Julian, I would say like in the reiterate, what you said, their big key to this game was running the ball, being a balanced offense. I think they threw it about 30 times. They ran it about 30 times. They were 50, 50. It opened up the play action tremendously. And that's what got the Rams going. Took the pressure off of Matthew Stafford as well, totally. Aaron Donald was felt today. He was felt. He was felt. He was, he looked like Aaron Donald. Oh, yeah, I mean, he's going to continue to get better. Play himself back on the shape beast. You know, the Raiders, they didn't play a bad game. Once again, they just miss it. They need, they need a receiver and they need a run game. They're competitive, but they can't, they can't run the ball. They're just not there yet. They can't run the ball. They're just, they're just, you know, they just don't know how to win the games or be competitive for all four quarters. They're there. They're there, though, as in competing 45 yards on the ground, ain't going to do it 45 yards on the ground, ain't going to. I mean, they, they drafted out Ashen Gentie with what the second pickle. They got to get him going. Is he banged up? They got to get him healthy. And they got to get him going. They get, they're good at with Linderball at center. I think they're still trying to figure out. They're offence of lying for that. Yeah, I don't think they have it because I think the Washington kids are good. He's having a big, long guy that's fast. He got Gentie who's, you know, easily a little cut guy and, you know, he seems a little banged up right now. Had a couple of huge plays in the past game. But Raiders keep kicking, keep him kicking it. You know, we got to keep going. Amen. Keep it going. They have lost four in a row after that three and I'll start. So yeah, tough to let me. There's really no panic meter because they've already exceeded expectations of last year and their expectations going into this year as well. So for the Raiders, there's not like, oh my gosh, like what's going on with the Raiders? It's like, no, like we're proud of the Raiders. Like they're just not winning games right now. Yeah, they're on a four game winning streak. But, you know, they're, they're producing. They really are. And you gotta, you know, give them credit. They did fight to the end of that game. They came out in the end of the third and to the fourth quarter and made a little comeback. But they were just, the deficit was just too big before they started really rolling out there on the field. Now, Kurt's been playing pretty good. Yes, I think he's tied or he's maybe a couple below the league leader and touchdowns now. Yes. But, uh, well, you're going to ask me when do you start a Fernando Mendoza? Yeah. Well, I'll tell you this. Well, this is when you start Fernando Mendoza is when Kurt Cousins starts falling off. If he does start falling off, he's playing great football. You can't sit or bench someone that's playing great. That's great football. He's playing good football. 14 TDs here. 14 TDs. He leads. Right. He leads. To NFL and touchdowns. Is he lead still? He's tied with Trevor Lawrence. All right. He's tied in most touchdowns. You can't bench a guy that is playing at that level of football in the NFL. Yeah. But what? But here we go. The future. But the future, I agree. The future is more important. And this is when the future becomes more important, Julianne. As if the Raiders are out of playoff contention. That's when you start Fernando, even if Kurt is still Kurt Cousins is still playing at a high level. Well, guess what, Kurt? We get we're looking into the future now. We're out of playoff contention. So that's when you start him or if Kurt Cousins starts falling off in that producing. It's just there you go. It's as simple as that for me. I don't got a run game. Yeah. Fernando knows that I run a little. He could run a little. There was a couple of those third and fives with Kirk. He could. I know. Yeah. I know. I don't know, man. All right. All right. I love. Hey, cat. Kurt. Keep it going. We love him. Keep it going. We love the Nandalore and we love Kurt. We love that whole QB room. All right. Let's move on to it. We can have QBs. We love. Oh, go ahead, Jules. Okay. Speaking of QBs, we love. Let's take it back to Thursday night real quick. We're the iceman Thursday. It was a nice man. What a game from Caleb against our patriots bears out last the bats 30 to 24. You know, pretty wild Thursday night matchup. Yeah. Patriots break that winning streak. What do you guys think on this one? What was the difference? Hell of a game for Thursday night though. Oh, that's football fans. You got to appreciate that Thursday game. It was good for Thursday night football. There's been a few good Thursday night. Yeah. We've been getting that. That was a really solid one. Caleb Williams is starting to look like he's going to be like really, really, really, really, really, really special and he solidified why he was the number one pick in the draft. What was it three years ago? Two plays from yep. There was a third and nine. When he when he hit one, I think there was he hit a dunesay where they were backed up. I thought that was the game right there because the Patriot or was that third and 11. There was two third downs. They didn't hit many third downs, but these ones he evaded pressure kept his eyes down the field and put a freaking laser out there for a dunesay. It made a great catch, great catch. But like you saw his arm strength. You saw his fleeing ability. You saw his quarterbacking ability by keeping his eyes down field and hitting the receiver. He hasn't left the pocket as much these last couple weeks. I think it was probably a good thing for him to watch those those three weeks. He was out and he he's looking like like a real freaking rock star right now. They have a lot of mode Joe. That was a huge win. Patriots. They played a pretty good game. The difference turn over in the red area. I love Drake played a great game. But you can't you can't expect to go on the road. I don't care how explosive our offenses. You can't expect to go on the road against a really good football team that knows how to run the football and throw a pick in the red area. We got to eliminate that stuff. Yeah, you definitely do. That was a game. If you want to win games, that's the game. Yes, you do need to eliminate that pick, especially when it's getting off on third down and on top of it, the tight end was open on that play as well. He needed to lead him. He threw it about five yards behind him. I think Drake May was thinking back shoulder for some reason. They were off. They were off. Definitely. The chemistry wasn't there. But you got to know that it was it was the past Eli Raradon, right? You got to know that he's got wheels. He's burning by guys. You don't really back shoulder Raradon. Like he's he's not the type of player that you back shoulder anyways, because he's he's smaller tight end and he can burst past linebackers. You got to lead him. You know, that's what I'm seeing out of him over the first couple of games in his NFL career. But this was a game, you know, that was solid for a Thursday night game. We talked about this. But also it was big implications on, you know, who's the better quarterback in the draft? Who should have been the number one pick Caleb Williams, Drake May. Well, let me tell you, you can't really determine that anyways until like eight to 10 years down the road about who's going to be the better quarterback. But Caleb Williams showed why he was the number one quarterback and Drake May showed why he was the number three pick overall as well. Those guys both played lights out and this could potentially be kind of like a Tom Brady versus Peyton Manning matchup. You know, kind of a similar along those lines for the future. Hey, oh, it's Drake May versus Caleb Williams. Everyone's going to be turning in and why is because they were in the same draft class. One went You know, number one. one overall, one went number three overall. So that already, you know, starts the, you know, storyline right there, right on the spot. So this could potentially be, you know, a good quarterback battle over the next 10 years. But we will see time will determine. No, I Drake showed a lot of mental tough. Yes, he did. I mean, they still made a bunch of big plays. But if you, you look at everything, I mean, you can't turn the ball over. You can't, you can't turn the ball over. That was the difference. I wouldn't say that was the difference maker, though, is the turn. No, I think I think they would have got three points. I think the bear would have been completely different. Okay. What about? Okay. That turnover was basically in the red area. That turnover was basically the same thing as the 48 yard catch and run by Ramonjay Stevenson at end of the second half and they scored. So the kind of similar, they got some points taken away, but they got some easy points with that catch and run. That was lucky. The pick wasn't lucky. Yeah, it wasn't, but it made up for the pick. So that's what I'm saying. I think I don't think the turnover, the bad turnover battle here was the cause of the loss. I think the bears were a better football team on Thursday night. I do. I mean, I'm not taking away from anything from New England, you know, I think they need it. It was a great game, but they need, they need to get better on the off the side of the unit. Like AJ Brown, if he stepped up and made the big plays, well, then maybe I'll be saying the Patriots were a better team, you know, but the bears, they made more plays. They looked like they had more talent as well. And they were overall the better football team on Thursday night. You got to start making them out. He does. He got us going. He's got to start making the place. Not does. It's, it's easy as that. That's all we got to say. Loveland, Burton, Adunzay, they were great. What about the Titans for New England as well? They combined a raredown and Henry combined for 10 receptions around 120 yards in the touchdown. I mean, they're coming through. And if they want to have success on that, it's often the side of the ball. Those two need to just, you know, keep being a reliable security blanket for Drake May. And they sure have been over the last couple of games. Henry has stepped it up over the last few games that raredown. He's coming into his own. I mean, he might be up and down. He's just a rookie, but he's showing he has some solid potential, you know, to be a difference maker on this offense. That's a tough short week. Tough environment. Really good football team. I'm not worried about the Patriots, but they do need to clean that. They did. They got to clean the shit up. Okay. Oh, yeah. It's not okay to turn the ball over. I don't, I'm so sick and tired of hearing. It's not cool. And that was a bad turn. Like we talked about on radio. So far behind the TV saying like all interceptions. All right. All right. They don't, they don't count. And that's the Patriot way as well. That's the Patriot way as well. Cause it's not like the Patriot way, you know, the Patriots team is the most talented team in the NFL, like how they won all the games last year. They took care of the football. That's how this Patriot's team is going to win is being more disciplined throughout the whole season and not turning the ball over like you're emphasizing Julia. And it was a bad interception. It really was, but he still did show mental tough. If he could just clean it up, just clean it up, difference in the game. I don't think that truly was though. I think the Bears were just a better football team that game. All right. Well, I'm sorry, Jules. They're not going to be locked out of the facility of this time. And you're going to be let in. I might be let in. Yeah. Jules is let in now. I guess you're right. No, I just said it. All right. Congratulations. We're back. All right. We're both locked out now. Oh, my God. That's fine. That's why we're retired. You know, we're not locked out of though. The meme corner. We're never locked out of the meme corner. That's it's a meme. I've been waiting for the waiting for the meme corner. Oh, it's the whole show. Not even though why we did the six, Matt, we should just go right to the meme corner. I mean, we have a whole meme, a meme cell tickets that definitely sell tickets. I'm out of memes. All right. When you chape your chips, but the memes will say you some ticket on right, baby. Next day, first up, we got to head across the pond where the Pittsburgh Steelers did a little bit of a group dress this time and they tweeted out a fit pick by order of the Peaky Blinders Aaron Rodgers and the boys dressed up as characters from the Netflix show Peaky Blinders. You can fucking blind. What do you think about the group dress look? Well, I, I like it. I like it a lot. Come on, Roderick. You're camarader. That's the thing. No, the game was what it would. I know. But the show take out the theme run. Okay. We got the zero. Is there like a, uh, in, I didn't watch the show that was it? Okay. What did they have a fight against some French guys in the, in their, I don't even think so. I mean, I don't watch it like that either. I mean, but overall, overall, I think we got our country. Because that's a little confusing. If the Peaky Blinders that takes place in London, but they're playing in Paris, but as an American, you just kind of look at those, those, both of those countries are in Europe. So you're kind of just looking at the Peaky Blinders as a whole that, hey, it takes place in Europe. That's the American mindset. You know, that's the American mindset. See, I am a genius, folks. Oh, there's a game in Germany. We're going. We're going. Exactly. Oh, oh, game in Denmark. This year. But I really rush. What I really rush. Uh, is, is Russia a part of Europe? Part of it. Asia, you know, is on the edge out. Is it great? It's a matter of Peaky Blinders. Peaky Blinders. Anything overseas. Peaky blinders. It works. It works. Got it. Peaky Blinders. It's connected to Europe and somehow somewhat Peaky Blinders. Yeah. Oh, got a lot. Sure. But what I really like is you're just, they're bringing the culture, you know, to these overseas games. That's what you want to do. And these fans in Europe, Peaky Blinders, the Peaky Blinders fans, it probably expanded the game more. This is Roger Gazelle's trying to expand the game. He should call up Andrew Aaron Rodgers and say, thank you for dressing up as Peaky Blinders because now all the Peaky Blinders fans in Europe are watching football because you guys are dressed up as Peaky Blinders. Aaron really looks like a character from the Peaky Blinders. He pulls it off well. He pulls it up pretty. Shout out to AR and the boys, uh, show him that com lottery there. Moving on. Hey, shout out to the freaking Steelers, man. Shout out to the Steelers. Man, anyway, another win and rattles off another one. Take down the Saints, uh, next up in the meme corner. This one's making waves in a recent GQ interview. Bear is tied in Coltson, Loveland revealed which three people he'd most like to have dinner with dead or alive. And he said Abraham Lincoln, Mike Dick, uh, and who shiasty? Who shiasty? It's quite the list. The internet's having a field day with this one, boy. Easiest question ever. He said, and he followed up by saying, easiest question ever. I love it. I mean, I love, I felt like he was ready for that, you know, response. Had that on deck to get the ass that question because when you do get to the NFL and you have success, someone always asked you that question. Eventually, like, that always pops around social media every once a while. Like, Hey, there's 10 people here. Who would you pick? Pick three of them that have dinner with? So he was ready for this. He's a young buck. You know, he, what is he? A Gen Z, or a millennial? How's it go? They're always ready for what's going on on the internet. So he's probably seen that meme before a million, uh, uh, yeah, a million times ready for it. What about, he's interviewing with GQ. It's pretty big time. Most in Loveland. I mean, I don't know. He was guy must be a, uh, I mean, actually, he not must be. He's a, he's a good looking. He's so sexy, Kelsey, Kelsey, Kelsey. Oh, he got the invite. Yeah. Who get it? Like you GQ. Yeah. He's a good looking girl. I love it. I love it. Yeah. He's all swag now. A couple of patties. Yeah. He's lovely. Look at those arms. Who are you? Who are you going to dinner with? All right. One of them. All right. Give me one. All right. One. Liam. These some. Wow. I'm not about him. Maybe some, uh, we're actually promoting. Peaky blinders. Peaky blinders. We're promoting. Is he? I'm Peaky blind. No, I don't think he's from your, but he's so good. He's the same thing. Yeah. Peaky blinders. Oh, that's part of Peaky blind. Yeah. But Liam, these some, he's the only guy in the world. If he had a meet and greet, I would sit in line for two hours to meet him. I really would. I would ask him. Yeah. What was the one? What was the one? What is the one question you ask him? I want to ask him a question. I would just thank him for all the movies that he has done in his career because this dude just rap and fires movies left and right. I love action movies. That's my favorite genre. And he just produces them like no other man. The guy is as efficient as possible. He's situational aware of what's going on and how to produce movies and how to act. I would just shake his hand and say, thank you. You made all my flights shorter in my life. Great play movies. Great play movies. Really good play movie. Great play movies. What about you? Who's making your dinner list? Ah, who's making your dinner list? What's your rapper? What's your rapper? I'm going Mac Dre. Whoa, I like that Bay Area Love area legend. Yes, left us a little short. All right, Pete. All right, Pete, Mac Dre. All right. High-feet movement. It's important. You know, you have to pour a little out for my guy. I would love to talk to him and ask him about those I used to watch these movies. What were they called? Dre TV or something like that? He used to have these these freaking movies that he will make of him at like side shows and shit. Like, I don't know, we loved Mac Dre as kids. So I would want to see him and talk to him. Heck yes. That'd be awesome. Like it, Mac Dre, baby. Great dinner. I'm going to crash that dinner. Well, I would crash that dinner if it was possible to do to dumb. But put a little like you smell some pits. Oh, keep going, Joel. At this phase. Oh, no, we talking. Oh, heck yeah. I love that. Jack knows what you're talking about. How do you know about that? I'm just stealing. I'm just stealing valor. Big E 40 guy. E 40. E 40. E 40. E 40. Those ride the whip, all that. We didn't ask you, though, Jack. Oh, who's mine? Yeah. Who you going to dinner with Jack? Well, you're going to dinner with me. Think here. Um, I guess I'm going to stay in the rap game. I'm going to take Drake with us, man. Happy people. Happy people. Lated 40th Drake. All right. Just turned 40 last week. Really happy. Belated 40th birthday. Yeah, easy Drake. My guy. Drake making a drizzle. I used to listen to Drake a lot of time. I just used to be success. I love Drake, man. That's our guy. We're big, big score fans over here. No, OVO. Um, all right, guys, moving on. Not to pile on. We're not Tyler's here, but this meme, this is a meme A plus meme that was making the rounds this week. Taco Bell announced. Baja Blast staying for another 11 years. Some guy at Beetle Juice, some knucklehead on Twitter. Quote tweeted this by saying, Baja Blast contract extension before Sam LaPorta extension. LOL. Sorry, Sam. We just had to get it in there. We love the Baja Blast. We're not talking about it. We're not talking about conscience. How freaking good is Bob? You know, not publicly, especially in middle of the season. That's the only advice that we got like three guys that are like really great too on the team. And especially when you're trying to win a championship, we're trying to win a championship as well. That's most important because if you win a championship, I can tell you this. Your contract's going to look a lot bigger. It's just going to keep skyrocketing up. So just worry about a championship. There we go. Then everyone gets paid when you win. We all get some damn right. How good is Baja Blast? Oh my god. Not a ball hall blast guy. Really? I've never had it. I don't think. Really? That's surprising. What's your go to Taco Bell order by the way? I've actually sweared to. I never read it. I've never been to Taco Bell before. I mean, maybe one time in college. I haven't been in like maybe two years. I'm a mind blown over drunk and don't remember it, but I can't recall my time ever going to Taco Bell. I like the enterito. Bro, Frank put me on that enterito. I never even had it before. I love the enteritos. I used to love the Pinto beans. You get a lot of levels. That's a big. That's right. I like a pro team. Taco supreme. Our taco supreme. I'll go it out. That sounds pretty good. Double deckers pretty decent. Every once in a while. Maybe a gordita if I'm feeling a little frisky. You know, I always order like a million things. Take one bite of each and then I'm like, yeah, I'm a little bush, a little sampler. So we do you do that with any order, Jules. Yeah, I like your order, the whole man. One bite. One nibble. Everyone knows the law. This is right. Oh, wow. Switching it up. One nibble. Wow. What would you get that from Jules? At least give some credit. I said that I'm poor. No show. Oh, I said that on a pizza review. Oh, it was Jules. I was just having yourself. Give yourself credit. That's all hell. Yeah. It was Jules. That kid. No, it's a shot. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Oh, my gosh. Let's head back to Boston for this next one. Do you guys see what they did at the garden? Are we seeing this right here? No, it's this. Oh, my God. They introduced a new, a new beverage consuming the golden boo. The golden boo. You can drink out of what looks like an old Chuck Taylor at the garden. Why, I want one of those. And how sick is this? That is incredible. That is so sick. I want that. Dude, if we go to the garden, we got to get this. You got to twist it at the end. I was just going to say, you got to twist your beer fest. Shout out, sip this thing. Julian and your heyday in your prime. How fast could you chug this thing? That's right. Anyone you know? Yeah. That's right. That's why I ask you because I know you're a chugging champion. Yeah. You can chug and make it beer disappear anytime. Out of a shoe, the distribution coming out of a shoe, it would be it would be half the time of you, you know, chugging out of a can. Yeah, yeah. But yeah, it's a trick because once the air flow, if you ever seen beer fest, no, I never have. Whenever you find it out of the boot. I know it's based out of Germany. Yeah, you get like a you get like a air pocket in the toe. And so you have to twist it or it'll flow on you. I would be ready. Oh, we need the garden folks in your champion. We got a chug out of these. We got a truck one. Oh, I got to see. We just got to go to a steese game. I don't know. We got to get one. When we get that beer sponsor for the six pack, let's also buy this shoe. And then I'll chug one out of the shoe for the six pack games. Here we go. I'm going to talk and bring it all back together, baby. We're flowing. All right. Next up, guys, on this pod, we go in a fill, we go college, we go high school, we go down to the JV ranks. I don't care. We're finding plays everywhere. JV day. Yeah, it's JV day. That's a JV episode. Let's see. Take a look here, boys. It's maybe the greatest JV catch of all time. Is it JV? Yes. This is JV Junior Varsity. Junior Varsity. That is. Keep an eye out for us. That's a nice route. Kind of tripped over his feet. Oh, that looked like the old dial one-hander. I would say I raised back like one. That's saying. That was a nice cat. We love to have our, our, our pads out like that. I don't know what, looking like Michael Bennett at practice. Anything goes at JV or Michael Bennett. Yes. This motherfucker. We have no pads in games and shit. We have sent him in. You got most JV edition. He's not going to be on JV anymore. That dude's about. Yeah, you got to play in Varsity. Rob, did you ever play JV at all in your life? Yes, I did my, my eighth grade year. I played JV and also my ninth grade year. I played JV and then I was on Varsity from my sophomore year on. And my biggest play, I'm just thinking I don't really remember much, you know, from my JV years. I really don't. I knew I, I know I was number one. That was the coolest thing about it. I was number one at the tight end and de-em position when I was playing JV. That was super cool. Just to be number one, dude. You know, you felt like a champion out there. I love that. I got a bad memory from JV. What's up? Oh, my bad memory too. So I was a punt returner as well. I'll go first, you know, the make you feel better about yours. And we're playing the best team in the division. And I'm punt returning. And I, I just, I, I wasn't the actual punt returner. But, you know, I was feeling it like, you know, I was having a couple of games and he's like, you, can you punt return to because our punt returner wasn't doing so great. And I was like, yeah. And I was feeling it to like this punt was coming to me. We were playing North, Tandawanda. We were down by like five points. It was like a couple minutes left in the fourth quarter. I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a return to this bad boy. Like I was on all cylinders. It was like Jack on six expressels shots from Duncan Donuts. I run full speed. I'm running full speed. It should have been a Peter situation where you just don't catch the ball. I don't care. I was feeling I'm going for full speed. I saw the whole lane open jewels. I'm going to, I'm going to bring this bad boy to the, how I get under it, running full speed. And it's really hard to catch a football running full speed forward, especially a punt return. It's right off my chest and bounces into the opponent's hands. And it was a turnover right on the spot. We lost the game. But I swear to you, if I caught that punt return, my life, my life projectory would have changed because I would have been a punt returner from there on. Move over Devon Hester. I mean, you took my job there. Yeah, I would have. So what you're not going to want up you, but I will want up you. All right. Oh, okay. So we're playing against the rivals. It's week 10. Oh, me too. I like I said it was a rival game. Mine was like week 10 as well. We were, we were nine to know at which time. Oh, definitely went up. I think we're nine and eight and nine and all on your TV team. Yes. And JV plays nine 10 games. Yeah, it was 10 game season. Okay. Okay. Makes sense. And then so you lost the game. You guys went nine and one. Listen, we were nine and no. Menlo Atherton. Oh boy. They, I think we're nine and no. And they they were like in their the lead of their division. We were in the lead of our division. And it's like the last play of the game. I was a quarterback. They put me in a safety. They throw a deep ball. I go up and I go to pick it. I pick it and I go to stumble bum time runs off. This is the last play of the game. So I'm thinking house call. I go to stumble bum. I put my arm down and to try to stay up as I'm trying to stay up. One of their receivers takes the ball and scores and beats us. Oh, knocks us off. We lose the game. I lose the game. Oh, against Menlo Atherton. And it was like the worst, worst day. It was the worst. On offense, I like two touchdown pass to three or I was balling. That makes sense why your offer was only to Ken State. Yeah, that was it. Junior varsity. Yeah, but the whole world lots that film right there. I'm so bad. Good freaking stomach. That is you definitely want not me because you had the games, you know, it was tied. The game was tied or tied. You lost the game. The game lost the game. I had to bring it to the house, but you lost the game. I fully lost. Yeah. I feel bad. I shouldn't be making fun of you. That was very recent about you know, 25 years ago. And they can't win them all. No, you can't. And probably I think that right there. You're a better player. The chip on my shoulder. You got bigger. Thank God that's a chip on your shoulder. Thank God. Thank God for that stumble book. Yeah, you would have definitely never made it to the NFL without that. I needed to lose that one. So our projectory have had both changed like that got you. Is that a word? Projectory. It's a trajectory. I like it though. Projectory. I believe a book word. I love it. In my dictionary, my trajectory would have been way off. Yeah. I'm not a word. You got to the NFL because of that play. I just wasn't a punt returner because of my play. Yeah. Yeah. Robbie Hester over here. Robbie. Oh my god. Speaking of moving fast. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Now. Let's go. Let's go. I'm going slow. Hold on. I feel like we got some. I think we're up right now. I think we're moving. We're moving. We're moving. Are you ready? Should I kick us off your boys? All right. Ready? First up. Steelers. Saints. 16 to 10. Steelers win it. We can find us. Biggie the longest. Bengals. Ravens. Hold on. Steelers. Top five team in the AFC right now. Let's go. Ooh. Ooh. I like that. Bengals. Ravens. 35 13 Cincinnati wins it after you're second half. Tale of two halves. Can we we got to start? We got to practice starting faster Cincinnati and just everything. Everything. I mean, we kind of conquered that going two and two this year. But like if Lamar was in there, I don't know if it'd be the same game, but awesome, awesome win. Happy Joe. Bangles showed how Paul and their offense can be 35 points in the second [BLANK_AUDIO] zero points in the first half four touchdowns. I'm pretty sure it was four, you know, by Joe Barrow. I mean, it just shows how lethal they can be. You got to play against them all. You got to play all four quarters because he makes a place to they have sexy decks. They got to play. You got to play all four quarters versus the Bengals at any time they can air they can air rage you just like that on believable cold Vikings 16 to 10 Minnesota wins it. Be flow. Be flow. What a game. Be flow on but we were talking about it. Remember we're watching the game. Like the kicker makes a good kick. Oh, there we go. Be flow. Offest makes a good play. Yeah. Be flow. Be flow. Tyler Scremals out of the pocket and run for the first time. The reason we go. Minnesota is undefeated is because of beef flow. It's like beef flow is the heck coach. And bringing up that will be flow. Be a heck coach in the future. We will see. I will see Kevin O'Connell is doing a great job. He has he out of KOC. AOC. What a win. But not a good job with Jay Jay McCarthy. Oh, is this fact? Dolphins Jets 28 25 Miami wins it. Get their first one in a year. Dolphins Miami is the best worst team I've ever seen in my life. They got no players. I think Jeff Haffley is doing a great job with this team. They got nobody and they're in every game and they're winning games. He was it was an entertaining game. It was I think this would be a skunk beer game, but that was a great Gino in the Jets. They were trying to come back. They sure were. They tried to they sure were speaking of ones. They couldn't come back. Bugs Panthers 43 13 Tampa stops them. I mean, holy smokes. What what happened? I did not see this coming. I possibly saw the bucking years when I actually circled them on a sheet today for them to win the game. I lost it. And this is what happened. Bucky Irvin. Baby just dominating in the run game. Shout out Baker, bro. You go out and play her. Like I don't know how you did it. How you going to hand the ball off when you've broken or whatever thumb. The thumb is what makes us humans. Yeah, because of that secret glove that they got the Tampa Bay. Yeah, the Tampa Bay Lightning or no race. Yeah. They're not just in the world series for no reason. They can make gloves. They make gloves. They make special gloves. Even they're so good. The raise that they can even make gloves for the bucking years. While they're in the world series. While they're in the world. Got a got to come back. Got to come back here. Last but not least Broncos Cardinals 30 to 16 Broncos win this thing. We're getting going. We're getting going offense. They need the offense going. We know the Broncos because they can play style defense. They're they're a weird team. They really are. I feel bad for bonus man because like he's a competitor. He just he got and he had like the 80 yard or 75 yard touchdown. But we got to get it going. Keep it going. Just keep stacking them together. It's never bad thing to win. All right. That's car. We're pretty good under. Never a bad thing to win. Great point, Joe. It's great point in this. That's car. You were efficient. Speedy informative. That was there's never. It's never bad to win. Never. Yeah. Like and we can't like kill the kid. No. Even though the offense is sometimes it's actually sometimes it's bad to win. New England Patriots that last one year. They won the game. They would have the number one pick overall. But wait a second. It's not bad to win because then they landed Drake May who fits their system more than Caleb Williams. So yeah, not bad to win games. Wow. Not bad to win. Thank you. Gerard Mayo. Never bad to win. Shout out. It's fun. Winning is fun. A wise man one. It's really fun. Winning is fun in the sun, especially with your buns. And when you got two guns as an arm. Yeah. Arm guns. These rhymes are insane. Let's go. Maybe you got P P seven. Well, you be my hun. Oh, how fun. All right. Let's go for a run. All right. Well, let's run into the national tight. Oh, Bobby T. Let's go. That's called a segment. That's a segment. National tight ends and an honor of this special day. We want to celebrate you and get your take on the current state of the play in the league. Uh, yes. So I just asked myself my own questions. Yeah. Well, that was really cool. I like that. That's how much I love tight ends can do it all, baby. Yeah. Oh, that was supposed to be you, Jack. Yeah. All good. I like you did it way better. Yeah. But it's your day. It's your day. It is your day. Ask me. I can't ask much. Probably G in order of this special holiday. It is very, very special. Yes. We need to petition. You need to work off tomorrow. This should be a bank holiday. This should be a school holiday. Come on, man. We need a slot receiver day. We need a slot receiver day to next. And no, everyone's saying, Oh, we should have a D line day. We should have a slot receiver day. Why receiver? No, the reason why we have a national tight ends day is because the tight end position was never talked about, you know, it was, it was never glorified. And now it is because of this national holiday. And yes, everyone should have off work the next day because when it's national tight ends day, your bomb is going to be sore on Monday. Okay. Wait, why? How they perform it? Because we're tight ends. Oh, I like that. I like that. I like that. So because we're going to be, we're so utilized on this day because coaches are aware it's national tightening. They so they get, they get their offense. They get their tight ends so involved in the offense. So you're sort of next day. You need off or massage or spa day, all that good stuff. It is our like really cool dudes. They always are half their half line, in which you're like really, really the coolest guys on the team. And they're also half receiver. So they're like, both like a hybrid, like a lion and a tiger, a tiger. Yes. Exactly. And on behalf of national tight ends, actually, George Kiddell sent a gift to all the tight ends. Whoa. All former tight ends out there as well. So it's happy from George Kiddell. Happy national tight ends day. Here's a gift from George Kiddell and NFL social to help you celebrate your favorite position. Enjoy a little bit of George, tag us in any content you post. So tag George, okay. Okay, George. Okay, Jack. Okay. Followers. Okay, we'll tag him and have a happy national tight ends day. And uh, is it a coin? No, it's that like staples easy button. The staple easy button. Whoa. That's what that was easy. The title. This is a full circle moment. That's literally like one of the funniest stories about Rob. When he was a young football player, he brought that out when we do goal line seven on seven, he would score like 10 touchdowns a day on it on Friday practices. And the one one day Rob goes out and he plants an easy button when they were big. I'm the goal post, like Joe, yeah, yeah, like the mark. Joe Horn with the cell phone and he goes, he I think he scores like his fifth touchdown in a row at goal line going against Ninkovich, probably. It was definitely Ninkovich. And he goes in the middle of practice. This isn't like his second years. Like it's still pretty, like, patriotic, like serious, serious. Yeah, like you're not supposed to do this. And I'm like, it goes, he starts pulling this thing out and he's doing the fucking. Grunk reverberation fucking dance. Revibreration. The gyration everyone sat there. Everyone sat there. We all just looked at this belief. We looked at Bill. Like what he was going to do and Bill just sits there and he cracks one of his little weird smiles and he's rolling his little whistle. He's like, are you ever that? Let's say you know what you could remember that clear as days. Oh, I got into it. Everyone's like, yeah, and I appreciate you telling the story, man, because that was a special moment. And that's when I took you know, being a patron, I threw it out the window. Out the window. I took it to another love. I'm going to be a patriot though, but with fun and but do it my way, but still be a patriot. And here we go. Let's see what it says. George, I know your voice is on here because, you know, you got a lovely voice, a very sexy, distinct voice. So let's hear it. Woohoo. It's National Titans Day. Ha ha. All right. One more time. Block. Release. Catch. Spike. Oh, block. Release. Catch. Spike. We have a little line describing the tight end to the tea. Is there another one? Let's get one more. There's one more. Your mom's favorite holidays. Oh, what's your mom's favorite holiday? They're large and shout out to all the moms right? National Titans Day being their favorite holiday. Oh, that's incredible. That's incredible. It is. It is definitely my favorite holiday. My mom loves you too, Rob. I love her as well. All right. I'm going to stop it there. You know, I get a little bit in a inappropriate when, you know, when I get a little going after I, you know, I drink a little duck and don't. It's caffeine. I start saying some crazy things. Oh, my goodness. Yeah. Let's cheers to that. Cheers. Holy smokes. Just cheers. National Titan Day, baby. Cheers. And also, one quick fact is just describes how the Titans are playing this year and how elevated the position is. So there was 13 touchdowns today by Titans. And now that's a total of 110 touchdowns through the first seven weeks this season. And that's the most touchdown scored in the first seven weeks of any season ever in the NFL by Titan. So that just shows where that position is. Give a round of applause to the Titans. Shout out to our guys. Shout out the sexiest, best-looking, most gorgeous position, you know, in all of football. Shout out to all the Titans. Titan Day, you guys represented. Shout out. We love all the Titans. Oh, we love Miko. They're all like our children. But if you had to pick your current top five guys in the league right now, top five. Could you give us a top five in no particular order? All right. No particular order. Five guys. I mean, I love it. Tray McBride. Tray McBride Beast. I mean, the guy's been a ball over the last couple of years. You got George Kato, who's the best complete Titan in the game, fierce run blocker, also can just shrug off the defensive bat. Does it all. Another guy that does it all. And also, he does it all so much. He talks about his contract. He even does that. I'm going to go with Sam Lyme. And he's a complete tight and he's really good in the play action. Yeah, I know he didn't do much today, but that's because all the guys around him were balling and he probably participated very well in the in the run game. So you don't just make an impact as a tight and passing game. It's also in the run game as well and it's not always seen. Also Isaiah likely he didn't have that big of a game either today, but still he's a balling and just the way his fluidity, he's just a really good tight and he's more of like a basketball player in my last wall. Oh, I mean, how can I forget him about Brock Bowers? Brock. Yes, he's a functional wide receiver in a tight ends body, Julian. He really is. So he runs routes like a wide receiver. He's an absolute beast. So yeah, those are my current top five tight ends and no particular order there. A lot of good tight ends and not a great tight. And that can change like Sam Laporte can easily be booted out of top five and be replaced by like Travis Kelsey at any time right now. He could be replaced by like Tucker Kraft at any time depending on the season goes. So yeah, if you want to stay in my top five, well then keep fricking balling. I love it. What a day. I'm glad we got to celebrate it with our favorite tight end. Robbie G. Oh, thanks. Jack. I'm here and dear to my heart, man. I love you. Right back at you. Maybe love you too. Thank you. All right, guys. With all that love in the air. Game balls. Let's hit some game balls. Let's do it. Game ball time. First up, we got something a little bit different today. All right. Oh, well, something a little bit different, Jack. And thank you for bringing it to the table. I appreciate things when you change it up and there's things different. But first up, that's different here today on today's show. It's time for the I am him presented by him's where we picked a player who was him this week, baby. So. Julian, who was him? You tell me who was him. That's what it's all about being him. I am him. I mean, my brother's kids, they walk around when they make a big play, you know, even if it's just many sticks in the basement after they score a goal, I am him. That's what they say. And they pound their chest. I'm him. I'm different. I am him. So, Jules, who is your I am him player today? I got to go with T Higgins six receptions, 148 yards, one touchdown. You know, he's always kind of overshadowed by Jamar chase, but he was definitely him today. Yes. I can't argue that, but I'm going to go with a guy and one of my fellow teams, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers going with Bucky Irving. He had 24 carries for 108 yards and most importantly, two touchdowns. And another most importantly moment is that he carried the team to victory because Baker may feel coming back from an injury who knows how well he could throw the ball today. That's why he only dropped back 11 times. He probably, I think he threw it for about 65 yards today as well, but Bucky Irving put the team on his back. He needed to. He stepped out to the plate like the Tampa Bay raise or stepping up to the plate right now. They got a bounce back. They lost the first two games in the World Series, but they got the three coming, you know, in two Tampa Bay Monday, Tuesday Wednesday. They got to win at least two of them, hopefully all three because I am a race fan. I like what they're doing. I'm talking about Tampa. Once again, Bucky Irving was the him player today. I am him. I am Bucky Irving. There's the guy you are right now. And there's the guy you could be whatever's been holding you back.

Our favorite, the Matthew Slater, teamer of the week. Who do we think here, guys? We had some big special team performances from around the league today. What is it? Tyke Smith? He got to go with Tyke. What did he do? He blocked the extra point from the panther. Zion McCullough returned it for a touchdown off. That was very rare. He never see it for two points. And that was kind of the game right there. There really was. That killed the momentum for the panthers. After that, it was going to be a long day. You're running the clock out, but that's a huge play. I love seeing that on a P-A-T. You never see that. Hard effort. Change the game. Change the projectory of the game. Yes. Projectory? Projectory. Projectory. Projectory? No, yeah. Projectory. That's the Matthew Slater. What's the real word? Projectory. Projectory. Projectory. Projectory sounds very, you know. I like this. It's very, scholarly. Sounds like a movie. It sounds like something a scholar would say. Yeah, very scholarly. Yes, scholarly. Yes. That's why I love Jack. When he knows what I'm thinking, when I'm not thinking, it's crazy. I know. He's genius. He's Mr. Grock right now. You know, my mind's just going so fast because I've got to give out so much information out there because I'm Mr. Grock that sometimes it skips. This is 1000%. Shout out to Raiders for that fake pun. That was incredible, too. That was incredible. Oh, that was really that. That's right there. That would have been my Matthew Slater teamer of the week. Just the whole fake pun. I like the direction you went and you get to pick it since you played special teams and you're a baller on special team. I just like that effort. And I like that. Well, that fake pun, they didn't win the Raiders didn't win, but that fake pun was really, really cool. Guys, we've got the rough Monday and coming to start us off. All right. No, let me. Robbie G started off. I'm going with the New York Juts. I mean, they let Miami get the first win over that. I don't want to be the first. It's like that Juts. It's my favorite meme. It should have been on here today, Jack, but it's that meme of the jet trying to take off on the runway. It gets like five feet in the air, and then it just crash courses right, you know, back onto the runway. And it's like they try to take off. And the Juts have tried to take off this year, but they are back to being the Juts. And it's sad, you know, I thought Aaron Glenn got this program going, but there's a rough Monday incoming. Can they learn from it? Miami just got their first win of this season. Shout out Miami. Yeah. I'm going with the refs. They got a rough Monday incoming. They are. That was JV, man. A lot of penalties this year, which not only the, that's not just on the refs, but I didn't like that, man. The refs, they're going to be talking about that game. They're going to be talking about these refs this, this Monday. I mean, the refs have been talked about all year long. It's been the most penalties through the first couple, which is not just their fault. It's not just their fault. They're in consistency. And see are the refs? Yes. They're in that, that was that was bad. There have been some horrid past interference calls and roughing the past and it's ridiculous. It's stupid. It's taking away from the. We're offence of guys. Like, we're offence of guys. And I'm like, yo, that was, that was passing interference and, or that wasn't passing interference. And we're offence of guys saying that, amen, amen. And next up, guys, big old W who's win was most impressive to you today. I'm going to go with Atlanta Falcons over, I mean knock off the undefeated, yeah, the knock off, you know, the San Francisco, you know, you know, from being undefeated, but they stepped up to the challenge because they're, they're a streaky team. And when you're a streaky team, you don't know what you're going to get. Are they going to be streaky today? Are they going to be not streaky today? And they've been so inconsistent, you know, this year. And they show how puntland, you know, they can be on the offence side of the ball. They stepped up to the table. They took the challenge. They beat the 49ers at home. So that was a big old W for the Atlantic Falcons. And now they can get on track. And possibly, you know, this division's wide open for them. The NFC South totally wide open. Can this game get them, you know, on track, build them up the momentum to be able to take down the division throughout the end of the season? This could be the momentum changer for the Falcons. I'm going with the five and two brownies and even brownies Northeast Ohio shout out. What a huge win, man. I know it was the Tennessee Titans, but they were down 14 points to have another game winning drive by Deshan Watson and Munkin dialing them up right was, that's just impressive, man. Like the defense is flying around, making plays when they have to. They're leading the league in sacks, I think. They're just, they're playing like solid complimentary football, and no one thought this was going to happen. No one, but them, shout out to them for having that mental toughness, amen, amen. It's time for our iconic duo presented by Walmart, where we selected duo from this week, whose performance was downright iconic. Well, Julian, before we pick whose performance was downright iconic today, I want to talk about our duo and our relationship. I felt like we were a great tandem on the football field. I was a guy that ran the routes, you know, deeply like I was the seamrunner. You know, I was a guy that ran the corners, the post routes, I cleared it out. I cleared the defense out. I took the defenders with me. And this is why we were such a great duo because once I cleared the defenders out, you came right underneath me and just swoop catches all day long and kept the chains moving. That's why what was your nickname for a little bit? First down jewels? I don't know. I think you completely made that up a little. - Well, yeah. - You take it. - And that's when a team comes together is when you utilize everyone's strengths. And that's what we did. I cleared out the defense. I was like Randy Moss on our team. That's like, it felt good to be like that guy. - I moved the chains, you scored the touchdowns, Rob. I moved the chains, you scored the touchdowns. - That's what I'm talking about. That's what makes an iconic duo. - And who was that iconic duo today? - Oh, I'm thinking a team that is kind of the similar colors to the Walmart jackets that we're wearing. - Perfect. - Yeah. - In the Detroit Lions. Oh, who am I talking about? - Jamison Williams. - And Amon Ross St. Brown. - Are we finishing each other? - Oh, wait, are we an iconic duo? Oh, off the field as well now. - And on the field. - Oh my God. - Oh my God. - This is scary me a little bit. But Jamison Williams today. Amon Ross St. Brown. They were iconic on the field. Both of them, over 100 yards. - Well, I think Jamo had 61 and two touchdowns. - Oh, my bad. I got a little bit confused. 'Cause Amon Ross went for over 100, yeah. - He had nine catches for 153. - So look at, like I scored a touchdowns. You moved the chains. Amon Ross moved the chains. Jamo scored the touchdowns today. - Hey, Dynamic Duo. - Yeah. - Call it Dynamic Duo. - I'm an iconic duo, that's well. - Iconic. - Iconic Dynamic Duo. - That is an iconic duo. - Speaking of duos, I got a game changer for y'all. - Like a drunk mismatch in the red zone or a third and long miracle? - No, I'm talking Walmart Plus and Sam's Club Plus. - Together? - That's right. Now, you can get both memberships and all their benefits for one unbeatable price. - Now, that's what I call going for two, like T-W-O. - Great pun, jewels, and it gets even better. Both memberships have tons of time and money-saving benefits, like free, same-day delivery with Walmart Plus, and 2% cashback at Sam's Club. - This really is a game changer. And we thought we were the iconic duo. - Nah, we weren't. - What a week. - We'll see you guys Thursday for an all-new episode. - Subscribe to the "Gracke" and "Jules Show" on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, wherever you listen to podcasts. - We'll see you guys then.
