WEBVTT

00:19.672 --> 00:26.243
[SPEAKER_02]: Welcome to the 20, 26, bottom five NFL season.

00:26.864 --> 00:33.636
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, baby, thank you Johnny, that is Johnny Palermo, our producer, my name is Jeremy.

00:35.247 --> 00:39.228
[SPEAKER_02]: If you're not familiar with the bottom five of the, this is your first time with us.

00:39.568 --> 00:45.389
[SPEAKER_02]: We give you the five worst teams in the NFL week to week.

00:45.409 --> 00:48.269
[SPEAKER_02]: So we are coming in right after week one, heading into week two.

00:49.129 --> 00:55.351
[SPEAKER_02]: And it is all about which five are basically trying to find themselves.

00:55.451 --> 01:02.192
[SPEAKER_02]: Which five are trying to get themselves back in the competitive nature?

01:02.212 --> 01:03.792
[SPEAKER_02]: Because you know if you're at the bottom.

01:05.090 --> 01:24.921
[SPEAKER_02]: You're certainly not at the top, in fact, if you're not second, if you're, well hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on,

01:26.066 --> 01:27.467
[SPEAKER_02]: you're gonna find yourself in the body.

01:27.727 --> 01:43.994
[SPEAKER_02]: But especially early on in the season, we could have some fairly decent teams find themselves in the bottom five, whether that be because of the way they're playing, whether that be because it's statistically, they're not hanging with the rest of the league.

01:44.774 --> 01:46.935
[SPEAKER_02]: How about the personnel they're putting out on the field?

01:47.115 --> 01:48.596
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, how about that roster they built?

01:48.636 --> 01:51.317
[SPEAKER_02]: That's certainly is something to take a look at.

01:51.595 --> 01:56.737
[SPEAKER_02]: The organization structure from top down is ownership, getting in the way.

01:57.097 --> 01:58.557
[SPEAKER_02]: And of course, this is a big one.

01:59.898 --> 02:02.118
[SPEAKER_02]: What about those vibes, okay?

02:02.319 --> 02:09.621
[SPEAKER_02]: The vibes not just on the sidelines, not just in the locker room, on the field of play, but the fans themselves.

02:11.440 --> 02:12.100
[SPEAKER_02]: What are the vibes?

02:12.680 --> 02:17.041
[SPEAKER_02]: And that's kind of where we find ourselves after week one.

02:17.461 --> 02:19.882
[SPEAKER_02]: It is a lot of the feel of the play on the field.

02:20.642 --> 02:21.362
[SPEAKER_02]: Of course, right?

02:24.123 --> 02:27.483
[SPEAKER_02]: But there are some things you can see in the body language.

02:27.503 --> 02:29.404
[SPEAKER_02]: You can certainly see it in the fanbase.

02:29.624 --> 02:34.545
[SPEAKER_02]: There's some opportunities to be had with some of these teams.

02:35.490 --> 02:38.874
[SPEAKER_02]: Now the bottom five, we've been doing this a little bit now, okay?

02:39.215 --> 02:41.818
[SPEAKER_02]: We've been doing this for a few years now.

02:41.838 --> 02:48.025
[SPEAKER_02]: You could find some of our old episodes or our previous episodes from years past on the feed.

02:48.266 --> 02:51.049
[SPEAKER_02]: Please give us a subscribe, follow.

02:52.891 --> 02:54.914
[SPEAKER_02]: But we started this way back.

02:55.795 --> 03:10.904
[SPEAKER_02]: as a weekly column for a little website called TWS and then this just became a podcast a few years ago and then also a weekly segment on a sports betting show that a co-host weekly called WTL where's the line?

03:10.924 --> 03:11.964
[SPEAKER_02]: Go check that one out, would you?

03:13.205 --> 03:21.290
[SPEAKER_02]: But the bottom five we're here and we are geared up man we are through every game the entire slate of week one it is time to get to number

03:26.934 --> 03:28.076
[SPEAKER_02]: It's the Atlanta Falcons.

03:28.176 --> 03:35.228
[SPEAKER_02]: Now it was a rough go leading up to their first game when they took on the Pittsburgh Steelers.

03:35.268 --> 03:37.091
[SPEAKER_02]: Of course, a road loss 20 to 13.

03:39.787 --> 03:40.688
[SPEAKER_02]: Close game, right?

03:41.508 --> 03:42.969
[SPEAKER_02]: I let you watch it.

03:44.550 --> 03:55.017
[SPEAKER_02]: Not really as close as the score may tell you that it was and then the Steelers themselves aren't even, I mean, they're not world beaters.

03:55.217 --> 04:01.201
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, they got the Mike McCarthy's essentially Mike Tomman, like this, they're going to finish 500.

04:01.602 --> 04:03.383
[SPEAKER_02]: Like we know what this team is.

04:04.804 --> 04:13.671
[SPEAKER_02]: But to go ahead and pick up the win on the Atlanta Falcons, and Falcons did not help themselves Leading up to it.

04:13.731 --> 04:18.636
[SPEAKER_02]: Michael Panics Jr. of course, quarterback number one for the Falcons.

04:18.676 --> 04:20.697
[SPEAKER_02]: He's still hurt, so he's not going to play.

04:20.717 --> 04:24.701
[SPEAKER_02]: But they signed to a, you know, him from the Miami Dolphins.

04:24.781 --> 04:28.584
[SPEAKER_02]: So he was prepared to play the entire preseason to get ramped up.

04:31.035 --> 04:41.020
[SPEAKER_02]: even though he was the best option to play quarterback for the Falcons even though he played the entire preseason with basically no competition.

04:42.497 --> 04:46.279
[SPEAKER_02]: The focus staff was not happy that they were going to have to roll out to it to start the year.

04:46.379 --> 04:47.259
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, it didn't matter.

04:47.339 --> 05:08.028
[SPEAKER_02]: He got injured before they could even get to that first Sunday, meaning Cooper Rush, the third string quarterback, we've not seen him in Dallas, he actually pulled up some decent games in Dallas, but a little different this time around.

05:08.606 --> 05:20.530
[SPEAKER_02]: Even though he's got a stud behind him and be John Roberts and even though he's got studs to the side of him and Kyle pits Drake London I mean he's he's got options, but you got to give a guy a chance week one He didn't get the reps.

05:20.771 --> 05:23.752
[SPEAKER_02]: He's not but he was not supposed to be here

05:25.738 --> 05:26.218
[SPEAKER_02]: But here it is.

05:27.078 --> 05:42.043
[SPEAKER_02]: Leading this Atlanta Falcons team that just did not look good and rushed it and helped us cause pregame spasms almost sideline in fact just before we even got to the game and he definitely struggled significantly.

05:42.603 --> 05:57.813
[SPEAKER_02]: He threw two interceptions and missed key open targets, including what would have been a touchdown past to Kyle Pizz and fantasy owners of Kyle Pizz know they need that six, or is four if depending on your league scoring structure, but they needed that six and they needed it bad.

05:58.474 --> 06:04.898
[SPEAKER_02]: Benjamin Robinson was like the the lone star of this Falcons offense on Sunday.

06:05.999 --> 06:09.862
[SPEAKER_02]: He gave him a little bit of spark, tried to carry the load, but it just wasn't enough.

06:10.622 --> 06:23.748
[SPEAKER_02]: Hopefully, I mean, yeah, I hope that a guy like him won't lose that energy and that will to keep going with this squad.

06:23.788 --> 06:26.989
[SPEAKER_02]: We need that effort, man, for this fucking tape to grow from it.

06:27.869 --> 06:30.350
[SPEAKER_02]: Total offense at Lano is out game 264 to 238 low production.

06:35.428 --> 06:38.769
[SPEAKER_02]: on every possession, turnovers, and then the drive killing penalties.

06:39.169 --> 06:41.470
[SPEAKER_02]: That's where the coaching comes in.

06:41.530 --> 06:57.756
[SPEAKER_02]: That's where what were you guys working on leading up to week one week one, you've got a lot scripted to start with, and then you're just nailing those fundamentals that you've literally, that's all you've been working on as fundamentals leading up to that point, getting a shape and fundamentals.

06:59.313 --> 07:00.373
[SPEAKER_02]: The defense was the same way.

07:01.474 --> 07:06.515
[SPEAKER_02]: They had some solid baseline numbers, but defensive lapses and costly penalties.

07:06.555 --> 07:07.216
[SPEAKER_02]: That was the big one.

07:08.796 --> 07:10.637
[SPEAKER_02]: That allowed Pittsburgh to continue drives.

07:10.737 --> 07:15.678
[SPEAKER_02]: And then eventually put up them field goals just enough to win the football game.

07:16.619 --> 07:20.020
[SPEAKER_02]: And land is kicker Nick Folk missed two field goal attempts

07:20.500 --> 07:29.291
[SPEAKER_02]: So I mean this game could have even been closer, but they couldn't get out of their own way 20 to 13 Atlanta fans They are not they are not happy.

07:29.332 --> 07:31.294
[SPEAKER_02]: I did see paper bags on their heads.

07:32.135 --> 07:32.936
[SPEAKER_02]: They're there is a team

07:33.783 --> 07:44.589
[SPEAKER_02]: There's at least one team this week that I did see paper bags on fans heads, clear sign of bad vibes, but Atlanta and the South's winnable, too, it's too bad.

07:44.629 --> 07:50.392
[SPEAKER_02]: So they Atlanta Falcons, number five in this week's bottom five, number four.

07:50.832 --> 07:56.255
[SPEAKER_02]: This is a team that I was really hoping, I didn't think they'd be good, let me just put that out there right now.

07:56.835 --> 07:58.056
[SPEAKER_02]: But I was really hoping.

07:59.473 --> 08:05.515
[SPEAKER_02]: that with their second year quarterback cam board, they'd be able to make take a step forward.

08:05.575 --> 08:09.377
[SPEAKER_02]: They are building towards opening of their new stadium in Nashville, right?

08:09.397 --> 08:11.898
[SPEAKER_02]: So they're trying to build something.

08:11.918 --> 08:14.399
[SPEAKER_02]: So then when they open the stadium, they've got a competitive fun team.

08:16.621 --> 08:39.367
[SPEAKER_02]: they did not appear to be uh... in that in that uh... zone just quite yet your tennessee titans are number four on the bottom five as they got some mot by the new york jets twenty three to ten i'll tell you what sent a c-tain that look made uh... jima smith look pretty pretty good like it looked like they uh... turn the turn the clock back just a little bit

08:40.425 --> 08:45.047
[SPEAKER_02]: but not the genos like the oldest dude in the world, but he's been around the block.

08:45.347 --> 08:50.330
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, I don't know if you know this, but people have written them off.

08:50.430 --> 08:53.191
[SPEAKER_02]: He just continues to not know how to write.

08:53.211 --> 09:05.036
[SPEAKER_02]: So I don't know, I don't know what the answer here is with Tennessee, but they did not look like a teen that was taking stuff forward.

09:05.056 --> 09:07.337
[SPEAKER_02]: They only had the ball, just under 22 minutes.

09:09.098 --> 09:11.420
[SPEAKER_02]: That's not going to win too many football games.

09:11.460 --> 09:21.786
[SPEAKER_02]: Cam Ward, who I thought was going to be a stud this year, finished 19 for 32, 140 yards and touched down, struggled with accuracy and multiple mistargets.

09:22.626 --> 09:27.349
[SPEAKER_02]: Rookie-wide receiver, Carnell Tate, he used their first round pick, he had a strong debut.

09:28.209 --> 09:31.111
[SPEAKER_02]: He was like their lone positive on offense.

09:31.863 --> 09:39.566
[SPEAKER_02]: And the Titans failed to score a single sack on defense for the first time in 15 games.

09:39.606 --> 09:41.307
[SPEAKER_02]: Man, the jet's just own the line of scourage.

09:42.267 --> 09:45.969
[SPEAKER_02]: And honestly, not something that I thought we were gonna see.

09:47.614 --> 09:58.278
[SPEAKER_02]: rushing yards, jets, owned it, a hundred and fifty two yards, Titans, very limited running off it.

09:58.318 --> 10:01.819
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like the total yards, okay?

10:02.079 --> 10:07.842
[SPEAKER_02]: Jets, hundred and fifty rushing yards, the jet, the Titans, total yards, 195.

10:08.242 --> 10:10.382
[SPEAKER_02]: Like that's what we're dealing with here.

10:10.543 --> 10:12.883
[SPEAKER_02]: So we're talking about 30 some rushing yards.

10:13.544 --> 10:16.525
[SPEAKER_02]: Like that's not gonna get it done and it's not gonna help you with time of possession.

10:17.425 --> 10:25.972
[SPEAKER_02]: Jets 23 Titans 10 as they lock in at number four in this week's bottom five.

10:27.453 --> 10:42.565
[SPEAKER_02]: Number three and honestly this team probably could have been a little higher, you know, when you get taken down by the by the Raiders 27 to 13 Kirk Hudson's just rolling just rolling right over them to start the game.

10:44.240 --> 10:53.550
[SPEAKER_02]: They certainly could have been even higher than number three, but your Miami Dolphins, they will start the year.

10:55.286 --> 11:00.527
[SPEAKER_02]: At number three, this is a team that probably will find themselves higher on this list later in the season.

11:01.107 --> 11:03.628
[SPEAKER_02]: Right now, the Miami Dolphins are coming at number three.

11:03.648 --> 11:08.569
[SPEAKER_02]: Final score against Las Vegas Raiders 27 to 13 first downs.

11:08.589 --> 11:09.689
[SPEAKER_02]: That's what I want to look at right here.

11:10.049 --> 11:11.469
[SPEAKER_02]: The Raiders 21st downs.

11:11.509 --> 11:15.050
[SPEAKER_02]: They were moving the football 46% efficiency on third down.

11:15.830 --> 11:23.812
[SPEAKER_02]: The Dolphins, just 11, hitting 20% third down efficiency rate and committing five

11:26.830 --> 11:44.218
[SPEAKER_02]: the offensive lines really with the where the biggest struggle was giving a five sacks and just could not get the running game going they still have your boy arching he's still around he's still the same dude that was carried up the last few years under my medanials

11:45.878 --> 11:47.139
[SPEAKER_02]: But a lot's changed here in Miami.

11:47.199 --> 11:47.820
[SPEAKER_02]: Here's one thing.

11:48.180 --> 12:00.593
[SPEAKER_02]: I know that, you know, statistically all that stuff that whatever they lost was a tough game against the Raiders, here's the deal heading into week number one when they were leaving camp.

12:11.946 --> 12:16.871
[SPEAKER_02]: In fact, the dolphins claimed around that number, I think it's a little more.

12:16.911 --> 12:19.313
[SPEAKER_02]: Like nine guys from other teams, rosters.

12:22.096 --> 12:25.259
[SPEAKER_02]: That's where this, that's where this roster is.

12:26.300 --> 12:35.308
[SPEAKER_02]: When you match up on paper, this stat, this squad versus almost any other team in the league, they're not rated very high.

12:35.829 --> 12:37.310
[SPEAKER_02]: So they're going to have to be coached up.

12:40.593 --> 12:49.260
[SPEAKER_02]: This is a fan base that I believe is going, if they're not already there, going to get very frustrated, very quickly, and just stock going to games.

12:49.380 --> 12:51.922
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, unfortunately, I feel like this is going to be an empty stadium.

12:52.102 --> 12:55.704
[SPEAKER_02]: A lot of the season, they're going to start going to go to those Miami hurricane games.

12:55.724 --> 12:57.666
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, they're on fire, top 10 in the country.

12:59.948 --> 13:00.748
[SPEAKER_02]: Miami Dolphins, baby.

13:01.709 --> 13:02.390
[SPEAKER_02]: Ha ha ha.

13:03.751 --> 13:07.013
[SPEAKER_02]: Number two, and this is one, I mean, this is a shock anybody.

13:08.451 --> 13:09.912
[SPEAKER_02]: This is not going to shock anybody.

13:10.092 --> 13:22.083
[SPEAKER_02]: The Cleveland Browns, the number two here on the bottom five after week one, they open up the season with a 34 to 10 blowout loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars.

13:22.143 --> 13:26.107
[SPEAKER_02]: This was Todd Monkins, debut as head coach of the Browns.

13:27.970 --> 13:37.795
[SPEAKER_02]: Down twenty four nothing a half time thirty one nothing in the third quarter You got the Sean Watson back there though Don't let the stats fool ya.

13:38.155 --> 13:38.495
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.

13:38.856 --> 13:41.617
[SPEAKER_02]: The Sean Watson completed 16 of 22 passes.

13:41.997 --> 13:42.197
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.

13:42.217 --> 13:47.320
[SPEAKER_02]: Pretty good for two hundred five yards An interception and five sacks

13:49.488 --> 13:56.893
[SPEAKER_02]: but these stats were heavily padded by a 46 yard garbage time touchdown pass to Denzel Boston in the fourth quarter.

13:57.554 --> 14:01.437
[SPEAKER_02]: A lot of what you're seeing statistically from Deshawn happened in the fourth quarter.

14:01.777 --> 14:10.764
[SPEAKER_02]: So even after the game, you've got coach saying, well, likely we're gonna roll out Deshawn again, week two, we saw a lot of good things on tape.

14:10.884 --> 14:15.868
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, you did in the fourth quarter when things were already at a hand, this game was over.

14:16.868 --> 14:18.590
[SPEAKER_02]: And uh, he could air it out a little bit.

14:18.650 --> 14:24.014
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, this is, this is not a matter of being competitive.

14:24.215 --> 14:27.637
[SPEAKER_02]: There's gotta be some, and they can't come out and say it.

14:27.858 --> 14:29.539
[SPEAKER_02]: And they can't even probably say it in house.

14:30.480 --> 14:33.903
[SPEAKER_02]: But there's a little bit of tanking going on to try to get this thing turned around.

14:34.884 --> 14:42.690
[SPEAKER_02]: Because they really screwed it up when they re-signed or they signed to Sean Watson to that record guaranteed contract.

14:44.171 --> 14:44.752
[SPEAKER_02]: They screwed it up.

14:46.346 --> 14:47.408
[SPEAKER_02]: the jats are in the same boat.

14:47.428 --> 14:55.802
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, we're talking about the jats a little bit ago, and they just absolutely smoked in their and their first one of the year.

14:56.663 --> 14:57.224
[SPEAKER_02]: Just smoked them.

14:58.830 --> 15:04.554
[SPEAKER_02]: But their handcuffs, they're still not good, they're handcuffed by that Aaron Rodgers era of two years.

15:04.914 --> 15:10.618
[SPEAKER_02]: Where they were having to make a lot of trades, drain picks, the money invested in Aaron.

15:11.138 --> 15:17.602
[SPEAKER_02]: Like some of the deals they made there, the coaching changes they had to make after, and even during.

15:19.444 --> 15:20.484
[SPEAKER_02]: Their handcuffs by that.

15:20.945 --> 15:25.788
[SPEAKER_02]: The Saints were handcuffed by that for a long time after the Sean Peyton era.

15:27.405 --> 15:31.387
[SPEAKER_02]: all kinds of salary cap issues.

15:34.269 --> 15:36.850
[SPEAKER_02]: Guys, this team's gonna be bad and it's gonna be bad for a long time.

15:37.971 --> 15:40.312
[SPEAKER_02]: But they're trying to get out of it and they're trying to help it be really bad.

15:42.133 --> 15:42.873
[SPEAKER_02]: That's just what it is.

15:43.013 --> 15:47.456
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, they made Trevor Lawrence looked like the freaking MVP, 18 of 23, 245 yards and four touchdowns.

15:53.407 --> 15:56.988
[SPEAKER_02]: He was only pressured on 17% of his drop-backs.

15:57.248 --> 16:03.069
[SPEAKER_02]: Like the Browns did not appear to even be trying, which is sad.

16:03.109 --> 16:03.909
[SPEAKER_02]: These are professionals.

16:05.109 --> 16:07.970
[SPEAKER_02]: Like go out there, give it your best effort.

16:08.270 --> 16:09.590
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, here's the running back.

16:09.810 --> 16:11.110
[SPEAKER_02]: Sorry, Watson's a problem, right?

16:11.550 --> 16:12.591
[SPEAKER_02]: Here's the running back, Jekins.

16:13.111 --> 16:13.891
[SPEAKER_02]: Quit y'all and Jekins.

16:14.551 --> 16:16.771
[SPEAKER_02]: Average under three yards per carry.

16:17.712 --> 16:19.232
[SPEAKER_02]: That means Watson, which you're leading, Russia.

16:20.953 --> 16:23.354
[SPEAKER_02]: A, the Browns are bad.

16:23.374 --> 16:25.635
[SPEAKER_02]: Nathan, I could 100% see them.

16:27.236 --> 16:28.617
[SPEAKER_02]: Finding their way to number one.

16:30.098 --> 16:32.079
[SPEAKER_02]: Here, shortly.

16:32.719 --> 16:33.399
[SPEAKER_02]: But here's the thing.

16:34.000 --> 16:34.540
[SPEAKER_02]: Number one.

16:37.722 --> 16:40.003
[SPEAKER_02]: Number one earned number one.

16:41.083 --> 16:46.666
[SPEAKER_02]: Number one earned their spot in the bottom five.

16:47.547 --> 16:48.287
[SPEAKER_02]: Number one.

16:57.299 --> 17:06.462
[SPEAKER_02]: is a heartbreaker for me, I've got the lightning bolt on my, I'm on my forearm, grew up, grew up and satiaco.

17:08.142 --> 17:08.843
[SPEAKER_02]: This is my team.

17:08.863 --> 17:09.523
[SPEAKER_02]: This is my squad.

17:09.863 --> 17:15.725
[SPEAKER_02]: This is the team that my son was born into loving.

17:16.745 --> 17:22.327
[SPEAKER_02]: And I have to watch him feel the heartbreak to the disappointment season after season.

17:24.515 --> 17:30.337
[SPEAKER_02]: So I'm sure you know what team is falling here at number one, but before before we get to that real quick.

17:32.357 --> 17:35.958
[SPEAKER_02]: We're gonna take quick break, but here's after the Monday Night Football game.

17:36.038 --> 17:44.201
[SPEAKER_02]: Patrick Mahomes was answering a question and something kind of silly happened here in the press conference room.

17:49.150 --> 17:55.675
[SPEAKER_03]: The way the scene is, I think that's your need for protection, but the need for work could be a little bit damaged.

17:55.695 --> 17:56.035
[SPEAKER_03]: Cratering dope.

17:56.115 --> 17:57.276
[SPEAKER_03]: What's your need for appeal?

17:57.596 --> 17:58.417
[SPEAKER_02]: We'll direct back.

18:00.298 --> 18:02.300
[SPEAKER_00]: Bo, can you take us through the intersection in the end zone?

18:03.381 --> 18:03.861
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, yeah.

18:04.181 --> 18:06.563
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, chalk back through it to the other team.

18:08.159 --> 18:16.807
[SPEAKER_02]: That's Bonyx after having explained an interception that he threw in the Monday Football Game Against the Cancer Chiefs.

18:16.827 --> 18:19.449
[SPEAKER_02]: That's like, well, Bonyx, he made me feel a little bit better.

18:19.990 --> 18:25.394
[SPEAKER_02]: The Broncos did, they made me feel a little bit better about where the Los Angeles Chargers are.

18:25.555 --> 18:26.415
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, that's my squad.

18:26.475 --> 18:27.336
[SPEAKER_02]: Full transparency.

18:27.416 --> 18:28.237
[SPEAKER_02]: That is my squad.

18:28.317 --> 18:29.858
[SPEAKER_02]: Born in race.

18:30.299 --> 18:30.459
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.

18:30.519 --> 18:30.879
[SPEAKER_02]: 43 years old.

18:31.100 --> 18:31.960
[SPEAKER_02]: Born in race.

18:33.081 --> 18:33.842
[SPEAKER_02]: The Chargers fan.

18:34.775 --> 18:40.657
[SPEAKER_02]: It pains me to put them at number one this week in the bottom five.

18:41.697 --> 18:43.677
[SPEAKER_02]: But frankly, I don't know what else to do.

18:45.778 --> 18:51.639
[SPEAKER_02]: This is a team that in the off season had everything in front of them.

18:52.280 --> 18:52.600
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay?

18:53.220 --> 18:55.781
[SPEAKER_02]: Had everything in front of them.

18:55.801 --> 18:57.101
[SPEAKER_02]: This is a team that had

19:01.273 --> 19:05.535
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, leaving his head coaching job in Miami to come be the offense coordinator.

19:07.356 --> 19:11.697
[SPEAKER_02]: Look, me, just look at the dolphins here this week versus what they've been.

19:13.278 --> 19:16.660
[SPEAKER_02]: And their roster wasn't that much better, you know, before.

19:16.780 --> 19:17.980
[SPEAKER_02]: Might again as could do some things.

19:18.921 --> 19:20.221
[SPEAKER_02]: He's a heck of an offensive mind.

19:20.301 --> 19:23.823
[SPEAKER_02]: He's a weird dude, but he's a heck of an offensive mind or offensive mind.

19:24.383 --> 19:25.023
[SPEAKER_02]: And he's our guy.

19:25.363 --> 19:26.464
[SPEAKER_02]: And he seems to have good

19:30.355 --> 19:31.496
[SPEAKER_02]: So we've got Mike McDaniels.

19:32.397 --> 19:43.427
[SPEAKER_02]: We've also got $100 million in cap space to improve the offensive line and the wide receivers.

19:46.410 --> 19:51.375
[SPEAKER_02]: Justin Herbert, in 99 career games for the Chargers, has been sacked 241 times to reference.

19:57.264 --> 20:06.649
[SPEAKER_02]: in 94 career games, Andrew Luck, who famously couldn't get up off the ground because he was getting sacks so much, was only sacked 185 times.

20:08.309 --> 20:13.072
[SPEAKER_02]: So five, there's only a five game difference there.

20:13.132 --> 20:16.553
[SPEAKER_02]: 241 times Justin Herbert versus 185.

20:17.514 --> 20:18.014
[SPEAKER_02]: Andrew Luck.

20:23.117 --> 20:24.517
[SPEAKER_02]: So they have 100 billion dollars of cash

20:28.760 --> 20:35.944
[SPEAKER_02]: And they do, they do sign some guys, things appear to be better, especially in the pre-season.

20:35.964 --> 20:37.965
[SPEAKER_02]: You start to see some good progress, right?

20:40.707 --> 20:49.732
[SPEAKER_02]: But then, they decide to do this thing where they're rotating the left guard, like in and out, the left tackle, in and out.

20:51.771 --> 20:52.572
[SPEAKER_02]: Why are we doing this?

20:54.033 --> 21:18.014
[SPEAKER_02]: We got the guy we signed and then we've got pipped kids who fraud intensive purposes is not not a starter not a starter I'm not gonna say awful because these guys are all you know elite athletes but he's not a starter

21:19.337 --> 21:27.884
[SPEAKER_02]: And he's not the guy you rotate in on fourth and go in a game that you're struggling in and you need points.

21:29.645 --> 21:30.786
[SPEAKER_02]: The Harbor gets smoked.

21:32.347 --> 21:33.128
[SPEAKER_02]: We get no points.

21:33.148 --> 21:36.370
[SPEAKER_02]: We could have kicked the field, go tied the game, taking a small lead.

21:36.390 --> 21:37.411
[SPEAKER_02]: Whatever was that time.

21:38.552 --> 21:39.613
[SPEAKER_02]: It was a huge turning point.

21:43.105 --> 21:53.522
[SPEAKER_02]: Your favorite by nine and a half points against an Arizona cardinal team, that's the youngest roster in the NFL, was 3 and 14 last year, first time head coach.

21:57.300 --> 22:22.417
[SPEAKER_02]: you got your co-operset who is basically been a career back up he's had some he's had some starts but he's essentially career back up he comes in he's a placeholder right I mean he knows that he's a placeholder till they get the the franchise quarterback in Arizona and that'll happen we should have seen this we we really we should have seen this in the preseason

22:27.415 --> 22:28.897
[SPEAKER_02]: They had an okay preseason.

22:29.558 --> 22:33.242
[SPEAKER_02]: And when you're the youngest team in the league, a lot of your guys are playing.

22:35.705 --> 22:39.410
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, coach, he's got this energy about him.

22:39.430 --> 22:41.132
[SPEAKER_02]: Little of floor, he might be the better of floor.

22:41.752 --> 22:42.613
[SPEAKER_02]: We'll see, right?

22:45.177 --> 22:46.919
[SPEAKER_02]: We'll see, he might be the better of a floor.

22:50.760 --> 22:51.501
[SPEAKER_02]: This football game.

22:52.321 --> 22:53.122
[SPEAKER_02]: We're going to go through.

22:53.582 --> 22:54.602
[SPEAKER_02]: We're going to go through this.

22:54.783 --> 22:55.243
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I don't.

22:55.383 --> 22:58.505
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not going to rehash the game.

22:58.805 --> 23:00.586
[SPEAKER_02]: We saw we saw for what it was.

23:01.407 --> 23:01.647
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.

23:02.668 --> 23:03.148
[SPEAKER_02]: We lost.

23:05.189 --> 23:07.751
[SPEAKER_02]: We lost to Arizona by a couple scores here.

23:10.456 --> 23:15.238
[SPEAKER_02]: Herbert again could get up off the ground.

23:15.358 --> 23:33.345
[SPEAKER_02]: Now here's something that's it's like in and now after the game everybody's you know analyzing every play going alright well maybe this is a problem this is a problem here here here's the problem me we heard the clip of bonyx You know saying well it's through to the wrong guy and I don't know if I need jokes after a big loss

23:34.790 --> 23:41.475
[SPEAKER_02]: But Herbert gave us, we just got execute, we just got execute every answer had executed in it.

23:41.555 --> 23:46.378
[SPEAKER_02]: We'll then, you got to go out, yes, you have to execute.

23:46.398 --> 23:58.546
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, that's, that's your job, when you are lining up, your jobs to read the defense

24:03.592 --> 24:05.273
[SPEAKER_02]: And then you have to make a decision on it.

24:05.513 --> 24:07.175
[SPEAKER_02]: He's doing what he's being asked of.

24:07.215 --> 24:09.516
[SPEAKER_02]: Harbaw claimed, you know, said that afterwards.

24:10.717 --> 24:14.079
[SPEAKER_02]: He's doing what was, what was asked of him to do.

24:15.560 --> 24:18.603
[SPEAKER_02]: But he does have the ability to change past protection when needed.

24:19.423 --> 24:21.344
[SPEAKER_02]: Instead, he rolls with the punches.

24:21.384 --> 24:25.307
[SPEAKER_02]: He's got three offensive linemen guarding one guy.

24:26.348 --> 24:32.132
[SPEAKER_02]: While he's got two, running a full speed to behead him.

24:34.415 --> 24:39.799
[SPEAKER_02]: You got to make those calls out of best for the team, you're the leader, you're paid to be the leader.

24:41.901 --> 24:55.070
[SPEAKER_02]: You got five six Davis speed speedy punt return, but you got to him play and watch your seever because you're stud lad Macankey caught in hospital ball and was out, which I think he hasn't broken rib by the way.

24:55.090 --> 24:56.071
[SPEAKER_02]: They're saying he's day to day.

24:58.433 --> 24:59.954
[SPEAKER_02]: I got a broken rib in the same spot

25:05.361 --> 25:08.343
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't believe that he's day-to-day, but they say he's day-to-day, I hope he is.

25:08.643 --> 25:09.183
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't believe it.

25:09.704 --> 25:30.716
[SPEAKER_02]: I think this is our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our,

25:37.268 --> 25:38.848
[SPEAKER_02]: You have to do what's best for the team.

25:41.189 --> 25:48.951
[SPEAKER_02]: But one of the things we're seeing now after the games over and we're watching every snap, Josh Norris from Yahoo said, he watched every snap.

25:50.131 --> 25:53.432
[SPEAKER_02]: He thinks maybe it was just some matter of Mike McGangels doing too much.

25:55.172 --> 26:00.774
[SPEAKER_02]: Every playhead like a different personnel grouping formation, alignment, motion shift, it was just too much.

26:00.994 --> 26:02.674
[SPEAKER_02]: And you did have to do that with Tua.

26:05.675 --> 26:07.656
[SPEAKER_02]: It's not necessary with Justin Herbert.

26:09.276 --> 26:10.596
[SPEAKER_02]: This is a different quarterback.

26:11.577 --> 26:12.137
[SPEAKER_02]: This is it.

26:13.017 --> 26:16.478
[SPEAKER_02]: You do not have to do this with Tua.

26:21.179 --> 26:21.600
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.

26:21.760 --> 26:22.080
[SPEAKER_02]: I win.

26:22.280 --> 26:26.541
[SPEAKER_02]: I was so excited for this season and that's the thing.

26:26.601 --> 26:33.463
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, I still think this is an incredibly talented football team.

26:35.750 --> 26:38.411
[SPEAKER_02]: And we've got some good, good coaches with me.

26:39.511 --> 26:40.952
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, here's what we don't have.

26:42.152 --> 26:44.693
[SPEAKER_02]: Jesse Mentor, our defense coordinator from the last two years.

26:44.733 --> 26:46.254
[SPEAKER_02]: He's now the head coach of the Ravens, right?

26:46.274 --> 26:47.654
[SPEAKER_02]: Great, looks awesome.

26:47.755 --> 26:48.615
[SPEAKER_02]: Ravens looked awesome.

26:50.282 --> 26:52.463
[SPEAKER_02]: Our defense at the whole game.

26:52.503 --> 27:09.346
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm sitting there screaming TV and like it looked like we had eight guys out there versus eleven like how how is these cartons always open We were always treeling behind there was it just seemed like there was no way We could stop them at any moment.

27:09.406 --> 27:15.908
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm surprised the game was was a larger than 264 team like the cartons should have scored 40 on us frankly

27:19.933 --> 27:22.434
[SPEAKER_02]: but this is a game that the chargers needed to win.

27:24.715 --> 27:26.235
[SPEAKER_02]: We have the cardinals, okay?

27:26.395 --> 27:28.836
[SPEAKER_02]: Remember, they went 3 and 14 last year.

27:31.037 --> 27:32.277
[SPEAKER_02]: We have the Raiders this week.

27:32.297 --> 27:33.578
[SPEAKER_02]: We'll nervous about that one now.

27:35.285 --> 27:37.446
[SPEAKER_02]: Although what's probably got to happen is we're going to win this game.

27:37.466 --> 27:44.930
[SPEAKER_02]: We're going to look awesome The show that's just such a charger thing But then after that we're on the road at Buffalo.

27:45.290 --> 27:48.312
[SPEAKER_02]: We're on the road at Seattle We're home against the Broncos.

27:48.592 --> 27:55.695
[SPEAKER_02]: We're at Kansas City, and they look stellar How did how are they grading anyway?

27:55.835 --> 27:57.436
[SPEAKER_02]: Then they were at LA Rams.

27:57.796 --> 27:59.717
[SPEAKER_02]: They were home against the Texans.

27:59.997 --> 28:01.418
[SPEAKER_02]: They were at Baltimore

28:02.573 --> 28:03.753
[SPEAKER_02]: Like it doesn't get easy.

28:04.093 --> 28:05.274
[SPEAKER_02]: That's a hell stretch.

28:11.656 --> 28:18.537
[SPEAKER_02]: Meanwhile, Justin Herbert, he's got the most passing yards of any AFC West quarterback of the week.

28:18.557 --> 28:20.518
[SPEAKER_02]: And then I'm like, maybe we're not that bad.

28:22.005 --> 28:38.568
[SPEAKER_02]: And then you think back to last year, and it's like, you know what, the Patriots lost the Raiders last year, week one, and everyone thought the world was fallen apart and the Raider Patriots end up going on to the Super Bowl, but the Patriots, we're not playing that Patriot schedule.

28:40.629 --> 28:42.229
[SPEAKER_02]: We are playing that schedule.

28:42.249 --> 28:44.209
[SPEAKER_02]: I just read off, and it's a stretch.

28:45.450 --> 28:46.990
[SPEAKER_02]: The toughest in the NFL.

28:49.452 --> 28:58.334
[SPEAKER_02]: So the Los Angeles Chargers, yeah, yeah, it's easily the number one on the bottom five after week one.

28:58.354 --> 29:01.715
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, if it's not because of the plays, they're not the play calling.

29:02.895 --> 29:05.296
[SPEAKER_02]: Because the play calling was a truck just at times.

29:06.116 --> 29:15.038
[SPEAKER_02]: If it's not because of the play on the field, and it's not because of the coaching, and the way they handled substitutions and the rotations, it's just, who's playing rotting linemen?

29:18.007 --> 29:39.643
[SPEAKER_02]: And if it's not because of the ownership, I mean, we all, I could go on for an entire hour about the ownership, but it's the vibes, the teams, the fandom, the few fans we got, we are, we're going through it right now, but I tell you what, every day that passes from Sunday, I'm starting to bolt up just a little bit more.

29:39.723 --> 29:44.267
[SPEAKER_02]: So, I know by Sunday, I'm going to be ready to take on those raiders.

29:44.307 --> 29:44.467
[SPEAKER_02]: But,

29:47.933 --> 29:49.654
[SPEAKER_02]: Right now it's it's a tough go.

29:49.694 --> 29:54.317
[SPEAKER_02]: So the number one Los Angeles Chargers were playing the Raiders at home on Sunday.

29:54.617 --> 29:54.977
[SPEAKER_02]: Number two.

29:55.137 --> 30:05.263
[SPEAKER_02]: We got the Cleveland Browns there at Tampa Bay Tampa Bay Tampa Bay is going to be ready to get one back because they they lost the a tough one against Cincinnati on Sunday.

30:06.103 --> 30:06.603
[SPEAKER_02]: Number three.

30:06.884 --> 30:09.045
[SPEAKER_02]: The Miami dolphins are at San Francisco 49ers.

30:11.484 --> 30:18.708
[SPEAKER_02]: Hopefully, I mean, as long as the Niners got some rest after that Australia trip, I don't see any reason why they don't take care of business there.

30:18.748 --> 30:19.928
[SPEAKER_02]: Number four, Tennessee Titans.

30:19.968 --> 30:22.430
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, they got to play the Eagles at home.

30:25.051 --> 30:28.193
[SPEAKER_02]: And then number five, the Falcons versus the Panthers.

30:28.233 --> 30:33.215
[SPEAKER_02]: May I tell you what, the Panthers, Panthers looked all right.

30:35.096 --> 30:36.257
[SPEAKER_02]: Panthers are going to the right direction.

30:38.538 --> 30:40.119
[SPEAKER_02]: Panthers might be the best team in that division.
