Default pay! Bridge in it! Earlier on the show. Bengal set coach, Zack Taylor. Coming up. ESPN College Football Analyst, Josh Pate. Steelers defensive tackle, Cam Hayward. 49ers tight end, George Kittle. And now, it's Rich Eyes. Now, number two of the Rich Eyes and Show is on the air. Great chat with Zack Taylor, who when I asked him, you know, take us in a meeting room with you and Joe Borough. What's it like? You need to walk through the entire week from the, from one game day to the next game day and had no idea the Saturday night before the game. The quarterbacks all get together with the coaching staff and play a game of jeopardy that's put together by Sean Clifford, the, the lowest man in the quarterback, Totem pole. That's pretty cool. What a great story. And how they play jeopardy based on the upcoming opponent. And they all want to win.

It's competitive. Who knew? At any rate. George Kittle and Cameron Hayward. And now, number three, Cameron is one of our usual Tuesday guests. Same thing with Josh Pate, who's back here on the program. Good to see you, Josh. How are you, sir? So I've never been more invigorated, rich. A lot of really weird slash awesome things happening in the college football world right now. I'm looking at the schedule down here on my bottom, bottom screen. If you look at the SEC this week, do you know you can make an argument that the sixth highest profile game on their schedule is number 19 versus number 24, which would be Missouri versus Mississippi State? That is a loaded weekend down there. Well, I imagine because a lot of teams in every conference have mostly made it through undefeated or in the case of Oregon not, but as just one. And that rankings are high. And we're trying to see who's real and who's not. And conference play is going to start setting it up.

And let's put it this way. Very excited for conference play to start after. As Dick Vitow my call it cupcake city for so many different organizations, Josh, right? Yeah. I was reading. I think it was Scott Dodderman's work this morning about how radically different next year will look because week zero doesn't exist anymore. So like week one becomes what week zero was. And he was writing about how different conferences are taking different approaches to how they move the games around. I think a couple of these leagues are just going to flat out jump into conference play. Wow. Like right out of the gate early in the year. I don't know that the big 10 or the SEC have to do that necessarily, but that weekend, the big 10 through it us last week was ridiculous. Can't happen. We cannot have big noon kickoff at Kent State, Ohio State again. And just we got to next that. Yeah, I know that that happened. And they were like I said, you know, and then Western Kentucky against Indiana. And let's let's start here because we'll obviously get to LSU and Ole Miss in a second.

But since you you mentioned some of these big 10 cupcakes, Indiana relies on playing anybody just yet. And there's still some folks who are getting on Josh Hoover, at least enough to get a signety to say this from the podium. I think there's too much scrutiny on Josh Hoover right now. Unfair scrutiny. After watching the game tape, he missed one throw. The one he missed the becker, we did a bad job picking up the blitz at running back and he had a guy in his face, one he overthrew early. He missed Marsh. The one to the right, it was his third progression. We didn't run a good route to the field. Should have been open, but wasn't because of the route. Came back to number three. We didn't run a great route either. And the ball got overthrown. The only other one would have been the one to Marsh maybe down the sideline. But really that redaire should have taken him to the field dig, which was open.

And we had to kind of hash that one out as a staff to make sure that we were all on the same page. What was going on? So, you know, I'm glad he's our quarterback. Other than the heavy fingered typist that was making sure that we got a transcript that was accurate, you speak fluent signati. Where did this one come from? Why were you here in this? You had the big takeaway there. I hope we never lose the keyboard tapping. That is the modern day flashbulb because we don't get those anymore. That's right. That's a good one. That's good pull. I love that. So, you remember when you and I were talking before the season and I told you I went up there in spring because you had signati on your show later that day. And I said, I remember talking to him about Hoover and he had this grin on his face and he just said, we got what we needed at quarterback. That's kind of the same attitude he has right now. And unlike some of these teams, like Indiana came into the season knowing they're playing

nobody. Like it was just known we weren't really going to see Indiana on the national radar until several weeks into the year. Probably Nebraska in a few weeks, if not later. So I don't, you cannot possibly know what's going on there. Like you cannot possibly know what they are and aren't showing like he said, like like six said, I don't doubt him. It may just be that there's a lot of blame to go around and it's not just Josh Hoover. Here's the beautiful thing. We'll find out eventually. I mean, they play good teams eventually. Here's what I'm waiting on. And this is not just an Indiana thing. This is like a number of teams. We came into the season rich believing something about Oregon as an example. And all the reason in the world to think that about Oregon. And then we found out we were wrong at least in week two when they went and played a Oklahoma state. So there's like the trust but verification process in college football. It's always been that way, but now more than ever, because of how thin the rosters are just compared to a generation ago. And how much churn there is in this fort overall roster wise relative to a generation

ago. So I think it'd be foolish to believe the same thing doesn't apply to Indiana. But they built up a whole bank of equity last year with what they did and how many people they proved wrong, including me. But what if, you know, what if all that said and all that sounds good? And then they go and it's 30 to 27 on the road in Nebraska in the fourth quarter in a few weeks. And maybe they come out with a win. Maybe they don't, but we're kind of looking at them saying, well, wait a minute. That feels a little different, which, you know, we're not supposed to be able to say about Indiana right now. But that actually would be in line with what's happening in the rest of the sport. We got a do or die game happening in Baton Rouge, Louisiana this weekend already. Some would argue we've got kind of a quasi play off elimination game out in the LA Coliseum with USC in Oregon. USC's undefeated. But if they lose that game, who's to say they're going to be able to beat Indiana, Bito, Ohio State. So my point is, if Indiana's a little shaky coming off a national title run where they had the number one overall pick in the draft at quarterback, that wouldn't be the most

insane concept in the world. Yeah. So while we're waiting for Indiana to get tested, we saw Texas in Ohio State test one another. And then obviously what went down in Oxford on Saturday, you mentioned about what's coming up for LSU. But what did you learn from LSU and Ole Miss just an epic battle in a quintessential college football environment? Yeah. Dude, before the game, or before you talk about the game, I had a couple of different instances where buddies of mine sort of circled that game to bring their non-college football fans into watch. They brought in their pro sports-minded fan into watch. And they said it was so captivating. And it was so funny to watch these people have college football sort of dawn on them in the realization that this sport extends so far beyond the field with all the soap opera, the drama, the storylines. And it's better than you could script. If you got a team full of script writers, but the beautiful part for me, like I told you

last week is, all that's great for them. But these are not seven win caliber teams. These are top 10 caliber teams. So there's a ton of football pieces that you could spend your time talking about. And one of them was, I was curious whether we were maybe getting a little bit ahead of ourselves on Sam Levit after we saw what they did against Clemson in week one. Because it turns out Clemson is just not a good football team. So they blasted Clemson, put half a hundred on him and Levit and those guys looked incredible in the process. And I think a lot of people got ahead of themselves in thinking he is another of several elite quarterbacks in the sport this year. I don't know that Sam Levit's on that same shelf. Certainly it's Trinidad Chamblis, but a number of these other guys, they're criticizing arch this way. And I think there's a lot of justification to sort of hold back on Sam Levit too, because everybody watched the game. Like when you watched him, I just asked this, how many times did he look settled? How many times did his feet not keep chopping around?

How many times did it look like the structure of that play was what was being carried out? Another face and a dude who knows them back to front and peaked golding. So that could play into it. It's a hypercharged environment. You have really high level defensive personnel on the other side, but Louisville had just put 38 on old Miss a couple of weeks before. So it's not like you can't move the ball on him and score and credit for him in the second half. They eventually did, but I thought Ole Miss had to have the game. I thought LSU would have liked to have won the game, but in the end what it showed me is there are a lot of pieces up front for Ole Miss that still have game takeover potential. Will Eccles was just a nightmare all evening for LSU. I think it showed LSU still got a ways to go on that offensive line. It's just, it's a tale as old as time. There's a result in week one that ends up being pretty misleading and it falsely inflates the expectation bubble for a team that still has a fair amount of questions about it in LSU. Now everyone falls back to Earth with LSU.

In reality, you probably have two results that have properly calibrated what the expectation should be, but that fast forwards to Saturday night because they're facing another team in wounded animal mode. So it's just two wounded animals going at it in Death Valley Saturday night. And either A&M or LSU is about to be a two-loss team before October and that's going to be uncomfortable. Oh man, right? Like that is some big huge stakes. Josh Pate here on the Rich Eyes and Show and you mentioned how you, you know, you had some friends call some non-college football nuts into the room for this game. I'm learning Josh with you who your friends are and who your friend's circle is as we're getting to know one another here on this show. Clearly, I have no idea your friend's circle included Texas Tech Head Coach, Joey McGuire. Roll it. A couple of guys I'd like to thank before we get into questions. I'd like to thank Josh Pate. Keep it up, Pate. Like he's my buddy and everything. Keep picking against us, man. I appreciate that you say that he's watched us last couple weeks and we don't look the

same. We don't look the same, but we're three and a. Okay. There you go. A little shout out. A little shout out. I could someone ask McGuire where I was wrong. Joseph, where was I wrong? They don't look quite like they did a season ago. It's true. They are three and oh. Here was my crime, Rich. My crime was going on public live internet and saying I thought Houston was going to cover it. Texas Tech was going to win. It plays out exactly how I thought it was going to. I go to bed like a normal person does after that on a Friday night. Big Saturday ahead. I wake up, phones blown up. McGuire has texted me as well. Really? He was so proud of his work at the podium there and he was so proud of the win as he should have been. Yeah, man, I got like a dagger to the ribs when I didn't even have my contact lenses in yet. Keep it up, Pete. Keep it up. Keep it up. Keep it up. See, we cut this drop if you want it for your college football show or whatever. You go here. Keep it up, Pete. There you go.

I can send that. I can send that drop to you if you want. Well, can we, can we do him a favor? Okay. So you recorded a drop for me. Let's record this for Joy McGuire because if we're going to carry this out, we've got to carry it out to the conclusion. I don't think Texas Tech is what they were a year ago. I do think the big 12's wide open Houston, Texas Tech could be a rematch down the road. For that matter, Utah and Brigham Young look pretty good. I'm not ready to write off Oklahoma state just yet. Arizona state, I'm not sure if they're back from London where we inexplicably played a conference game last Saturday. But they could be in the mix as well. So it is anyone's ball game in the big 12 cut. That's about 30 seconds. That should be good to show to the team. Keep it up, Pete. Keep it up, Pete. Josh Pates College football show. And of course, his Friday show with the bus and boys at two o'clock Eastern on the road on campus every Friday on ESPN. So Ole Miss next up Florida. And this is a great sound by John Summeral was told of Vegas has them as.

Favorites in this game against Ole Miss. Who's got his favorite against these guys? They there's a lot of good drugs out there, huh? I mean, yeah, I did talk to our team about rankings in week four, me nothing. Like nobody posts anything up in the building about this year's team where you're ranked in week four. Nobody cares. And the same pass in the back you're getting. If you go out and lay an egg, you're going to be the same, same hands hitting you in the back of the sky. But knife in it. That is Ole Miss proven with that win. And also what they potentially can do. Best team in the SEC can win a national championship. Heisman Trophy, the whole thing. Josh Pate. Yeah, I'm totally fine with Heisman. I'm totally fine with they can win the national title. I don't know that I would look past Georgia yet. That's kind of a TBD because Georgia hasn't played much of anyone.

I mean, they were taking practice reps during the commercial break in Arkansas's building because according to Kirby, they weren't getting enough work during the game. That's something that actually happened Saturday. So until further, that's a good clip, by the way. Until further notice, let's say Georgia is number one, but I'm fine with Ole Miss and then being one A. I will say I was there. I was on the field for Florida Auburn and Saturday. They took the fight to Auburn physically. And that's been a really, really tough place for Florida to play in historically. That used to be an annual rivalry game, but tradition, people can't even spell it anymore, much less adhere to it. So they haven't been up there in a while. But Byron Brown and that Auburn offense, they did some work against that Florida secondary. Now, we've got results just ping ponging all over the place. So there's like no consistency week to week in how these teams are performing right now. But what I had echoing in the back of my mind as I saw that points for it open was one. Of course, drugs. So some are all in Ireland. Same page there.

Number two, it's what could Trinidad Chamblis do to that secondary? Because I know why the line is what it is. This is the biggest letdown spot in the modern era of college football. I don't think we've ever seen anything like it, but if Ole Miss goes down there and it's 14.0 early, I don't care about letdown anymore. I care about Florida having to keep up with the best quarterback in the game. So it's a crazy, crazy Saturday, just league wide in the SEC this week. What did you say before my let you go on with the rest of your Tuesday? What are you looking forward to seeing this weekend? Josh, what do you want to see? I want to see your boys. I want to see Michigan take care of business against Iowa. You remember last year, Oregon goes on the road to Iowa. It was probably a little bit later in the year. It was like a cold rainy day in Iowa city. Low scoring game, not a flashy bot score, but I thought Dante, more in Oregon, got a win that probably buoyed his confidence as a quarterback a little bit. That total for Michigan, Iowa's in the 30's, and I'm really looking forward to seeing what

Bryce Underwood can do, what that offense can do. If it takes throwing the ball 14 times and running it 22 times, so be it. Frankly, I'm comfortable with that game plan. I'm looking forward to that. I'll tell you another one off the radar, Rich. Virginia Tech is going to Boston College. There are double digit favorite they should take care of business. There is a looming game next Friday night in Blacksburg. It's Pitt at Virginia Tech. Pitt plays button L this week, so they should win. That can be undefeated versus undefeated Friday night. Kind of prime time standalone treatment for Virginia Tech, so we may get to see that whole James Franklin enter Sandman for the first time in front of the world treatment. Unless, of course, they screw it up this week and then no one here. That's entirely possible. Yeah, and then Big Ten Play happens. It's exciting. You're spot on about all of this. Josh Payt's College football show everybody checked that out and then Busson and Payt on campus, 2 PM Eastern every Friday on ESPN.

Go ahead and keep it up, Payt. Keep it up. Okay, we'll send you that drop. Okay, keep it up, Payt. Great to see you. That's Josh Payt, everybody. He took one in the chops before his contacts were in. That's funny. Great line. It's already feels kind of epic more. Does this football season feel more epic? College and professional because we've waited so long for it or it's just it's wide open in both aspects here. I think any, you could a dozen teams in the NFL and a dozen college teams, like you feel like could win right there. Respective championships and I think that just has everybody. Just a little more sitting up in their chairs. I kind of think so. And certainly since I'm wondering if anybody's out there, you can call it 844204 Rich Number to dial that your survivor pool is already down to like five people in the NFL. That's true. That or some survivor pools have been won. It calls if you're still alive.

They removed the interim tag on on Chad Tracy. Love that. He's done a spectacular job getting the Red Sox out of that morass earlier this season where Alex Corra gets fired in the Red Sox go deep under 500 and they are going to go to the playoffs. And so he gets the interim tag richly deserved to be removed. Absolutely. Congratulations to him. Yes, sir. And then you get the news that Aaron Boone let loose just this very morning before the Yankees take on a Tampa Bay race team in the Bronx for a four game set that if the Yankees don't sweep the race will pop champagne courts to celebrate winning the division

in the visitors locker room of Yankee Stadium. It's not a lot of fun for the Yankees to see. Aaron Boone says they don't expect Aaron judge to be available for the wild card series game that they're most likely going to play against the Red Sox. So the Red Sox will take on a Yankees team in the Bronx unless the Yankees sweep the race and the race don't win another game the rest of the year after that without judge and without Stanton who as you know has been a burrow on your side for quite a bit. But you guys played just about the whole year without either of those guys anyway. That's true. Are you worried that yes. And I will. You can finish that. That judge will never be truly great, great again. Now what I'm worried is what I'm worried is a row now with big injuries. The reason why they're saying this is they say the calf strain that judge suffered last

week that caused them to go on the injured list for the rest of the season and potentially not beyond the wild card series roster is according to Boone a moderate grade strain. And all Yankees fans are talking about is this is like the Rant's calf strain that he came back from and there goes the Achilles and then judge would be gone for next year too. By the way, there may not be a season next year. So if you want to run the risk, it's not, you know, it's it's definitely an Achilles risk that no one wants to take. I'd imagine Aaron judge would be the first to raise his hand on that front as much as he wants to play. But in the meantime, he, according to Boone, I'm not a doctor. I don't play one on television. He said judge received a PPP injection Monday. You will avoid physical activity over the next couple days. I don't know what that is. Does that stand for please, please, please get better?

I don't know what that meant. You know, isn't that what they all you, small businesses got during COVID? PPP well, you know, I don't know if they, if that's going to help you inject that in Aaron judge's calf, but there you have it. Platement poor plasma. Yeah. Yeah. Is that, is that poor man's plasma? Is that what you're saying? Is that what it's, if poor man's plasma, they're putting it out, I'd put rich man's plasma in the flour of the Yankees. What is it? A regenerative medical treatment derived from a patient's own blood that uses plasma with low concentration of platelets to help heal muscle injury. There we go. I need that. He's a minute. Hey, man, everybody wants some of that Aaron judge plasma. There is a PRP. What is that? Not rich man, but that takes six to 12 months to kind of kick in and do the good stuff. Hey, I had PMPs on the campus of Cornell University.

By the way, when I was there for summer college, those who called poor man's pizzas, which is basically big old French bread or Italian bread, pardon me, Italian bread. And then you would put just sauce and cheese in it. It would be bread, sauce and cheese. And I had that nonstop, which is why when I came home from summer college at Cornell, my dad, may he rest in peace. God bless him. He looked at me and he saw I had gained about 15, 20 pounds and he goes, you're grotesque. Wow. They're on my side. Oh, father calling you grotesque. He did. Joel Lewis Eisen, one of the sweetest men on the planet. You're grotesque. What he said to me? What he said to me, I said, Dad, don't sugarcoat it. How do you really feel? You're out of town. Don't you dad always speak to you like that? Whenever he would speak his mind, you would speak his mind. Have you ever called one of your children? I have not. I'll speak to you. Different generations. I just give a say. Different generations. I can do that now. That happened.

Explain. Poor man's pizzas, man. It was on something called the hot truck behind you. You haul one in the great university on campus in Cornell. Who? Next place, well, you had no problem eating a pizza that got in the ship. Oh, that's got, yeah, this is, I have a history, sir. I have a history. A man likes pizza. Yeah. There's nothing over there. But that was back when I had an appendix. I'm a changed man. Yeah. You got to do it now. I'm totally changed. Ryan and Connecticut. Let's move on. Connect. Stop Ryan. How are you, sir? Good pizza there. Good pizza there. Yeah. You know, pretty disappointed honestly today. Yeah, you sound sad, Ryan. I don't know you, but you sound down. Yeah, I am. I called last week after the giant Sunday night victory. I was so happy. Yeah. I thought that they were back and all that optimism last night. I went in optimistic and like New York sports usually do that optimistic crushes you rather

than the other sports. Yeah. I mean, it's just so devastating to see Jackson Dart go down so early. And the other thing that I was really disappointed in is just the giants. They hit opportunities to at least keep it close for a little while. I mean, Javon Holland was the one bright spot. He looks like a dog defensively. But I mean, he had an interception. The giants forced the fumble inside the red zone. The giants took a penalty. He was first in five and the giants still couldn't do anything. So I mean, I kept saying to you if they could just go to half and keep it close. Maybe they could regroup, but there was no regrouping. And now you have two must win games against below average teams. And I have a feeling that next week against Tennessee and Brian Debel could be a bad trap game. Ryan and Connecticut needs RIS consulting guys. Okay. That's what we're here. Because as you know, we're here to talk about us though. It's about us. It's about us. Okay.

Ryan. Ryan. Let's focus here. Okay. Let's hope that what we believe is going to be the case when Jackson Dart gets out of an MRI tube today. Four to six weeks. Giant schedules put it up. Okay. Let's hope Brian Burns is an out for a significant amount of time either. All right. But you got the giant schedule. Tennessee comes in. Let's get James doing his thing. Let's get the running game doing its thing. Let's get a full week of prep. Right. The stunner of watching that happen at dark. That's not going to. That's not going to cast a poll. Right. Then you got Arizona coming in. That's that that's significant. They can put points up. But so can James. If the run game is working like he's there. Right. Okay. Then you're at Washington and it's James versus Mario. Like it's last decade all over again. Right.

Then you got New Orleans coming in. That's going to be a stout opponent. But let's not turn it all over like last year. And then let's keep dart out against the Texans.

It already saw it last week. I think just. Ever since. Caught one's gone. It's been so pessimistic. So I'm hoping you're right. But um. Yeah. Just a lot of disappointment because last night was supposed to be a great night. But obviously took a turn. Listen, it did take a turn. It's that sucked. Yeah. That's what I was saying.

Overreaction Monday the podcast over 300 thousand Views on YouTube alone for the third straight episode. We're so appreciative of everybody who's following football through this show because we We doing the show it's a labor of love and also having a little bit of fun with our industry having fun And it leads to a great segment called overreaction Monday on a Tuesday Hit it All right over reaction Monday on a Tuesday presented by Mariett Bonvoy Everybody what do you got over there Chris? Let's go. What's up guys? Have a Tuesday. Let's get it Obviously Mike you're at the game last night. I love it. So you have a good time. I'm glad to blast. It was amazing Monday night makes it obvious that the Rams completely punted on week one and should still be super bowl favorites

What do you mean by completely punted on week one they threw the game? They didn't want to go to Australia in the first place They knew it was a complete hassle and kind of a bogus trip So they went the day before Figured they'd lose and everyone would freak out and then they come back and just be back to normal and that's exactly what happened They didn't punt on Australia. They whiffed on Australia. I don't think they didn't care They didn't care what happened in that game. That's if they want to say something like that icing on the cake if they lost Who cares they weren't trying to win in the first one? No, they were trying to win in the first place They know they have to beat the 49ers. They can't They can't punt on a division game. They whiffed on Australia Again, I don't know if it's if it's Sean McVeigh who made the ultimate decision about when they go and when they travel He had fun with it basically in a any walkoff comment from last night's victorious press conference But still should be super bowl favorites. I'll I'll also say that's an overreaction right now. I need to see a little bit

Listen, I Like if you said to me If you gave me a mulligan on on choosing who wins the Super Bowl. I wouldn't take it Still take the ramp I would they did what they did last night But again Without Puka and they're gonna get Miles Garrett back and Donald already looks super freakish again They are still the Super Bowl favorites and I think rightfully so still It's not as crazy as they were I think rightfully so but let's see how they matriculate the next three weeks before We get out that anointing oil, which is why I'm saying Overreaction on on all fronts right if I give you Super Bowl NFC West or the field Well, I'm still not I'm still not getting off of them. I'm not gonna look up. I mean they're supremely talented If they stay healthy man So DJ NFC West or the field Super Bowl Hmm, I mean you gotta go the field

You have to oh you're giving me I'm talking about to win the Super Bowl. Oh, I'll take the NFC West too So you're taking the West over the field? Yes, Niners Seahawks ramps right. I already had the Rams. I'm not saying I'm not getting off of it If you're giving me the option of getting at least two other teams in this and I don't take it I'm taking the field because one five 15 is out there in the field. Okay It's real when 15 still in the field. That's true. It's always 17 Okay, what else you got? So it's 10 got it. So it was four You could have a lot of that. Look at me back and Dar's gonna be out for a little while I wait. What if we just named the powerball numbers? Oh my god, I was just gonna write this down Yeah, no one writing. It's not a game. I'm a lot of I'm not super what else fornisone was at 60. Yeah, what else? I look I was there last night. I was watching James play and it's not great Jackson Darke's gonna be out for a little while And there's a guy sitting on a set who was just there. Oh plays well The giant should call Russell Wilson to play until dart is healthy What do they say if they yes, they should call Russell Wilson. What do they say to him?

Hey, what are the quarterback now? You're the quarterback now captain now I mean look James is great. Oh, my dude. All love. He's funny. He'd be a great hang I was watching some of these throws last night. I don't know man We saw Rusto for 400 yards last year You know what you know you know We'll know of when it's real It's when we see Russ and Newark airport Yeah, that's the that's basically like the bat signal. Yep You know what I mean when he's not the go to when he's going to pick up something at anti-ans pretzels in uh terminal one You know he's serious Get out of here. Go big blue. Let's move on Chris. Wow I can do you though Chris. I mean look I don't know man. I don't know man. Come on man You're gonna take him you're basically to say all right

We're taking you off the CBS set you you're I'm sure you've been working out. I'm sure Okay, Chris. He hasn't let himself go. Oh, okay. That's that is the that's what overreaction Monday on a Tuesday's all about right there forever Chris All right, what else Chris Here's thing it all the injuries do suck and it's been pretty brutal to start the air slow starts and all these injuries prove Teams need to take the preseason more seriously start playing in the preseason Make the preseason great again is what I'm trying to say Jim Harball even admitted he would go back and do it over again And they're basically toast for this year. They're not toast number one number two. It doesn't look good number two um I don't know. I mean all these coaches say these these inner inner team You know Scrimmages are the same thing they love it. I mean it's clearly not for certain teams. I I I guess Again, you know, Mouchin Kirk keep talking about it in our meetings 21 new offensive coordinators 21 and in certain cases, you know, be enemies a new offensive coordinator

But he's part of the same system. So that's a different story than say Sean Mangan coming in or You know What's going David blouse coming in or Mike McDaniel's coming in? I just think that um I don't know how Putting folks out there risking injury for games that truly don't count just so that they can get the reps in To make sure the first two weeks don't go as poorly like as we see our neighbors across the way here the Los Angeles Chargers Seems to me a bit of an overreaction, but I'll I'll I'll I'm with you on this one though. Okay. What else Chris? Uh every team there's been uh three big quarterback injuries this week alone On top of the couple that we're week one and the Falcons who are on their fourth guy Bears commanders Giants all had quarterback injuries this year and they're gonna miss some significant time Each of those teams they're gonna miss the playoffs this year Bears commanders Giants bears aren't missing the playoffs. I don't think

I don't think plus Caleb could be back this week By the way the amount of grief that this kid is getting because he Got carded off and had the look And the card off of a player that has suffered a season ending injury um And and now he might be coming back and that he um is now the king of memes We talked about it yesterday. I now I'm seeing what you're saying. Yeah, it's lame. It's it's so stupid No, it's his body. It's what he's thinking who the hell cares and by the way I'm happy for bears fans and for him if he does come and for ESPN and for Monday night football if he does play on Monday night It'll be wild. I don't know if he does because It seems like he's gonna miss two weeks minimum then that makes sense, but who the hell cares You know, yeah who the hell cares That he gets carded off and that Avert's major injury and that it looks bad on him

What else Chris? I want to give this guy some love because he's had a crazy career since being the first overall Pick and winning the he's been him and the he's been trophy But pricey on his absolute ballin right now. He's gonna finish in the top five and passing yards this year I wouldn't be surprised Canalis is an outstanding offensive mind coach You know just ask Baker who had him and Coker and Macmillan or both top 10 I and and and let's see what he does This week against the Browns defense that is pretty damn good just as they played well against Bakers Yes, they did Sure did I don't think this is an overreaction. I dig it I can dig it by the way Darren Waller a couple touchdowns too. All he does is catch TVs right now If you're an NFL fan you're probably in a long distance relationship with your team and that hurts your heart Luckily Mariett Bonvoy is hotels close to nearly every NFL stadium which helps your heart Check in for game day with Mariett Bonvoy the official sponsor of the NFL and
