We are here for one more hour a shortened show But then tomorrow of course the big it's like sort of our real kickoff to the I was gonna turn your mic on Yeah Yeah, it has it has every once in a while you miss check every once well. That's not a you think I know you think it's not a you think The top five of five is sponsored by PDQ signature systems if you're in the restaurant hospitality or casino business You need a PDQ POS system with PDQ POS you'll sell more earn more and work less if you want the best trust PDQ POS visit PDQ POS dot com Each the five number five five five Bonnie though. I know that boy. Who's that again? Bonnie, Hannah, Miriam Bonnie
I hadn't heard that one. Yeah, you did one book. It was it was like three times longer before it was it was a short It was cut down. No, it was Elliot was in right. Oh, you didn't hear it right. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah She did this when Elliot was in there and the the Bonnie mentions in the intro There are like 30 of them. We shaved five seconds. Yeah, it felt like more it felt like more So what do you have, Bonnie? Today we're talking about the five situations. I'm currently monitoring. Okay Number five how long is Jack's paternity leave because I thought he was gonna be out till next week But I just got called into the afternoon show on Tuesday Oh This coming Tuesday. Yeah Oh, no, no, no, I think I know why I think I know what that okay now first of all Jack's paternity leave is Observed and part of it is because he has so many that there's two issues So many babies in such a short time and we all know he doesn't do anything at home He's not doing anything. He is the least valuable of all the the chess pieces in that home
I think the reason you got called in on Tuesday is because we will be at Word it's before Merrill life. Oh, he got the Merrill live thing on Tuesday So we will be on remote and Jack will be with us. So you'll have to be here. Yeah, yeah now that you did when you said Tuesday I'm like oh Not only take it off another day, but maybe a couple more days So we we think Jack will be back next week, but I don't know fingers crossed Okay, coming in number four is I heard that Moche is helping people with their top five that fives now specifically Lewis Coco Okay, that's interesting now Louis had a pretty good one yesterday. Yeah, so what type of advice do you think? Moche gave him is Moche giving the advice of follow the Jack motor is Moche trying to Slide in there and get his own top five in there through Coco. I don't know. So I thought I gave Coco
pretty good advice Yesterday, but at that point he had probably already decided what he was doing. Yeah, so Okay, so we have to we have to think here would we rather the producer sitting in for Jack? Think of it all on their own and maybe drowned or maybe Moche is helpful I'd say this Coco. It wasn't hilarious or anything yesterday, but I thought it was interesting yesterday What he chose to do. Let me just throw this out there. Okay, so full for thought. Okay The moment we start I guess Energy Moche. Oh, yeah from this with this behavior. You don't want to Understand it's going to worsen as we get more he's gonna get going get more and more in there I'm telling you and you know Fritz wants no advice. Well, he's not gonna get Fritz advice He would walk he would dare you get Fritz advice and Fritz will tell Fritz will shut that down immediately
Yeah, are we creating a monster? Yeah, by You know what Coco's top five years ago. It was terrible There we go. It's terrible. It was terrible. Whoever he got Someone do we start blaming Moche for the top five being bad. Well, that's the other thing is what has he given advice? Yeah, is he given advice to is he giving because Fran had did a pretty good job on whatever day it was with the data JLX was here Yeah, that was Tuesday. There was Tuesday Moche's Moche's he's had to he's work with his way into the show. He is spreading his way. Yes, finally He's behind the scenes doing stuff. Maybe he thinks there's more free food in it for him if he gives more advice Well, it's interesting Moche interesting. Well, okay. All right good to know. It's so it's getting crowded. Yeah, good to know good to know Coming in at number three is something I produced yesterday during brod show I want to be doing what I did get an aeronol Attachoo's on my inner thigh Should I want celebratory aeronol of portraits on the left thigh I make him dance. I make JLN dance
That's what I want What is wrong with him could we get him to put it there? And I actually think we have to step in for the brod's family and stop it What is wrong with him? Yes, we could bait him into anything. Yeah, well, clearly he enjoys getting tattoos. Yes, which I do too But he's already looking to go back on the table on the other thigh Yes, I thought that yeah, that was painful wasn't it then what he just got the JLN would incredibly good He was going nola on the other side. Yeah, which one? Well, of course the JLN one will age better But there's a better chance I think it's more likely than not the JLN is the quarterback the Eagles next year Yeah, but there's a better chance that aeronol is on the Phillies than JLN hurts is on the Eagles next year We're locked in with nola. Yeah, we know he's not going anywhere So at least he'll know hold of a failure on the five more years right? Yes, but it's a hundred more years He's gonna be on the Phillies longer than we're gonna be doing this show and we're gonna be doing this show for a while
They'll give noles an extension. Yeah, what could see I don't even want to do it I would say we could get brod's to agree to put a null a tattoo on his inner thigh if the fills win the world series But I don't want brods the other type of goals on his other inner thigh. I don't want to do another brod show about him getting some ridiculous tattoo Nice try bro. It's nice try. Okay, coming in at number two is Elliott Shore Parks becoming a food influencer with ESP eats Yes Hold on. Yeah, they call it ESP eats ESC eats so online if we're gonna hear some of this right so online We saw Elliott do's like a two-minute thing where he was reviewing the food from the link. Yeah, now I don't know Elliott likes to Present himself as a fashion expert. Yeah as a music expert for some reason soccer expert soccer expert football expert But food I've never heard of food credit. Well, he let's hear the audio
It's up everybody here at the Jefferson Health Training Complex week one is Sunday the Eagles have a whole new menu of food items So we're gonna try them out training camps over. I'm gonna hand out some grades on these food. So let's get into it So first up we got a little taco here. So apparently it's an 18-inch taco, which they sell It's a lot of inches. This one not as much So let's give it a go see how it is looks like we got some maybe some guacamole on here got the green shell just wait Okay, I like it. I like it. Definitely has like a little peppery feel to it. I don't normally like spicy foods Only takes um I like this you definitely have to split it with people 18 inches to yourself would be a lot um I'm gonna go Eight and a half ESP but what was that that he said right there at the end? Eight and a half ESPs no before 18 inches a lot. Yeah 18 inches to yourself would be a lot Especially when you're five seven. Yes, seriously, man. Yeah
I'll just say it man. Yeah Nice a food critic. Yeah, I don't I'm out on e. I don't need them to be listen Told him to do that no one he's just a content guy The content he's trying to be portnoy. He's trying to be wip is point Portnoy, you know with the piece of reviews. Yeah One bite everybody knows the rules. Yes. So what would Elliot's thing be 18 inches on everybody knows the rules Eight inches too much for a long person. Yeah What would you know about? Oh goodness. Yeah, so there you go Elliot the food man. He is a content guy. He is always something new always something no training camp stats That's okay reviewing tacos. That was a taco right he was it was yeah It was the broad street beast the broad street beast it was green It was yeah the show was green. Yeah, well, it's like a St. Patrick's Day when the beer is green or whatever Yeah, all right number one and coming in at number one is I've had several people come to me my dad
My dad's co-workers everyone else and tell me and I've heard it That on air last week you admitted that you went easy on me. I did Yeah, I'm monitoring that situation And I regretted it and I was called on the carpet Cory brought that up as well I was called on the carpet that there I would say I'm just gonna be completely honest There are three reasons I went easy on you. It wasn't a decision It was in the moment while I was doing it one you care a lot and you heavily prepare which is Right up my alley there are producers here who go into it without preparing it like it you are so prepared And this goes to number two that You seem the little nervous and I will only beat on someone if like buzz I know can take a punch. He doesn't seem nervous. I want him to be more nervous Yes, and the third thing is and this is just You're a woman and it made it
Like I felt like a bully or something if I so your your top five Which I think I gave the or something was really a sea should have been a sea And you screwed up the audio a few times and a buzz and screwed up the audio or god forbid Fran had screwed up the audio I or Jack even I would have murdered them So that it but but but I I am Moving forward you are playing by the same rules as everybody else and I would say this you could tell me if I'm being honest and not honest I thought today when I was talking to you you seemed less Gittery than you you felt before and I don't know if you're doing that on purpose To make me feel more confident, but you seem less shittery less nervous today. Yes. Yeah, I've been through it a couple times Yeah, definitely. Yeah, but I'm glad to hear that going forward that you're playing by the same rules It's it's over don't care. That's all she wants. Yeah. Well prepare all you want You got it when game times game time, you know, you got to perform so and I don't care if you're scared
I'm gonna yell at you and call your worthless if you screw something up So you're playing by the same rules as buzz you and buzz exactly the same exactly. We always wanted uh good top five funny solid B-plus That's a real great not a nice great this our sponsored by guided door and window get 20% off all windows and doors with no money down up to Three years to pay it off interest free call guided door and window at 877 go go to go to go GUID A dot com two on five five nine two ninety four ninety four Cory and Columbus you're on WIP hey Cory Hey man don't don't bring me into this fight you said it Cory say You said don't don't don't be like I show don't be like I'm not yelling you said on the air You said nothing you were right. I'm giving you credit Oh man Hey man, you know yesterday I apologize you know I put I put it spite and like a you know particular situation I say would you trade you know valve for for all these women I shouldn't have done that you know
I like jack I would never ask him that because I know jack ain't never trading jute is man putting babies in her every year That's it Well, that's one way to put it But you know, you know I couldn't I couldn't miss out I could I couldn't miss out on the day I know y'all really ain't really adjusted yet. I don't give the show three hours coming We were on the last day was on the last Yeah, you know, I said I had to address this you know, I'm saying I had people it was so hype tell me This guy's draking me was the greatest quarterback. Oh my gosh. AJ Browns. He's got to he's got to explode this year All I know is you know, he's gonna feel a lot of time when that IR buddy, you know I'm saying the same make it funny nobody get hurt I'm just saying you know hey Granting all his greener. We try to tell you you know, I'm saying we try to tell you drake me glass your jack was hyping them up. Oh MVP we almost had highway robbery like
This man was almost handed luckily Matthew staffer turned his game up the last two weeks of last season This man was almost handed a full gazing MVP and they were to use that to tell him he was better than my quarterback He's not That flea flicker Ike yeah, that flea flicker ever jack jack jay would have made that throw Oh, no, I don't gotta take four crooks four crooks to get the bar there Oh, that dude took a that dude took a crow hop and still under three and AJ Brown want to give you the thumbs up All I know it I ain't gonna I ain't gonna touch too much on it today, you know I ain't gonna kick a man when he down But I am gonna kick dirt on this dude As you can get you you you you say you was in heaven all that I'm in this feels like heaven All I know is last night that didn't look like heaven to me and this is a side of spike on the way out I know it's a backup quarterback But at 13 10 game ain't look too bad spike a 13 and 10 game didn't look too bad last night
I bet you didn't see how I feel Well, yes, and you know what they did they wanted with with drew lock not turning the ball over so Point it's anybody can win a 13 team get his Arnold. What's that? Well, but yes because He's good as Arnold because oh, maybe he's got a good team around them and it makes him look better than he is look Here just a couple things because I want to address everything he said. I just want everyone. I am not a Drake May guy. I was not a Drake may I argued with both these guys about Drake may last year I call them Drake maybe all year Didn't beat any winning teams blah blah and and I agree with you on the MVP It is even even and I know I had money on it But even in forgetting about this game. Yeah, if he had won the MVP over Stafford I would have Melted down The year that Stafford had last year compared now Drake may may probably well and still end up being a very good quarterback I just know if it happened to our guy when our guy didn't have a J
That's the reason they didn't beat the box right That's right. Oh, but guess what guess what yeah, I'll tell you right now my guy went we Ten points Spot nurse 10 oh my two being losing that game. I don't give me wrong last year. We had a couple blunders Broncos Cowboys But last year was it was an I bought last year with an I bought season. Yeah, if you spot us 10 points And AJ go depth first of all AJ three for 26 before before halftime right? So he he wasn't even looking at I walked believe you I had no one on we are watching yeah Hey, so hey and I saw a lot of hits route. Yeah Flaps yeah, yeah, all I know is they told me that's what Jaylen could throw. That's what he wanted to run So all you know, we'll see but tomorrow. We'll talk, you know, we got to refocus our march tonight We got rupiah nighters damn. I don't want to do that, but you know You're one of the All right, thank you for the call Corey. Yeah, AJ gets hurt high ankle sprain which could be I mean those linger and it seems like it would probably be a month now
I wanted everyone to hear this because Voney do you have the audio from the sports radio station up in Boston? Okay, because I think generally we are accused locally of treating Our quarterback in a different way than other cities treat their quarterbacks So so yet so Drake may whether he deserved it or didn't deserve it Drake made was in the Super Bowl last year and was runner up for MVP And this was the first game of the year where AJ Brown got hurt against what was last year the best defense in the NFL So this was on in Boston sports radio on the post game show of the game last night They tried to hide him all night long with high school plays with the zvarian playbook high school swing past Little runs roll out to nowhere high school football The second he had to make NFL plays or throws he was screwed He couldn't do he made one NFL throw all night that was the Hollins on one of the third downs
That was a little bit deep on an incite nice timing He made high school plays all night long That's what happened and he could not step up and that throw to end the game was to scut That was in-cup re-hensible and disgusting Do you even put the ball with that much air under it in that situation? It was finally That was just a joke you cannot do that He blew this game and he was bad all night I thought the only thing he produced all night was high school level plays high school science class chemistry It was awful So that is the first game of the year after a runner-up MVP season I just want to be clear fill. He's not the only place that does that's Oh, that's Boston. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. If it's anybody was going to do it, it'll be Boston. Yeah There's the funny thing with the with the high school plays they ran Did they run high school plays last year? Yeah, I don't know. I'm his same thing I'm just wondering is that a McVeah McVeah McDaniel thing right that that's the kind of that's the often
Honestly, the thing that all friends last night and I'm sending to myself Trayvon Henderson is out You're gonna try to beat the sea hawks by running Ramondrey Stevenson right against that defense He's too slow. He's not elusive enough that defense is gonna swarm him Every time he touches the ball they play I think they played a Freight of the sea hawks defense last night. Yes, and I thought that was the point that I thought he was the most right on was that They they looked Scared to test the sea hawks defense. They looked scared of the office and I'm blocking No, nothing passed protection. Yep. They looked like they were playing like the super bowl was yesterday Yes, that that they were shaken by what the sea hawks did and they just wanted to play conservative They didn't be close and that I just want to follow Yes, and and that is the that's the whole issue with And Drake may play terrible last night three interceptions that last interception was terrible That was the worst out of three. That was that was you just came to you and feel go range to tie the damn game
That was that's stupid. That's that's a dumb play there Yes, and that that for me That is why I get now Jayland doesn't throw a lot of interceptions right he did he had one I think it's the charging game Yeah, four is just outrageous. Yeah, four out of the six interceptions through all year came in one game However To me that is the issue now is the sea hawks, but that that's why the Them only having ten points even though they're winning ten to nothing Ten points is two scores and then it's over now for the you know the sea hawks. It was three scores But still that's the that's what makes you nervous. But but here's the thing with that. Yeah If you're only scoring ten points, I don't think We're saying We want to score ten points and win that way we're saying that they win that way we'll be okay with it I think that's a little of both. I think that's what you're saying. Yeah Well, anybody to say and they want to score fewer points. That's that's just ridiculous. Yeah That's that's silly. That's silly. That's more of work. Excepting. This is what it is
New England on the other hand they went on again two-wide receivers this all season. Yes What's their excuse? Yes. Yeah, like what's their excuse for not putting together Again, I know you're playing a great defense. I get it in Seattle But at some point I didn't think they threatened With the exception of flea flicker play I didn't do anything to threaten Seattle's defense. Well, and then you have whatever and then you had It's it's always funny watching Another NFL game with your eagle sprain on mm-hmm because bootay drops that Wide open Dog's yeah Yeah, bootays on the different team now, but dobs drops that drop dobs with the giant helmet Sandro Are you are you trust the
How could you catch the ball with your head But you just see that you think if he catches that ball right maybe the whole game's different Maybe doesn't throw that final interception and yeah, Idy-yada, you know, I Do wonder looking at them How good new England is gonna be this year With yeah, I have no idea that didn't look great to me last night that that didn't look like you know what I mean You know, they didn't have a new quarterback. They had the same quarterback with the same office of coordinator Yes, yeah, it wasn't every now they they didn't play in preseason just like everybody else, but right that looked yeah that looked ugly and Can we talk to first game up to that? I think because the Eagles might win 16 to 10 Sunday. Well, that's what everyone will chop Well, we'll say that it's because the first yeah, well, and I think The they'll never change it and I understand why they won't but the whole thing where Sequan said that everyone is treating the first four games of the season like the preseason
Yeah, I think that sucks I think I understand why teams are doing it. Yeah, I think it sucks. I think it sucks We only get 17 games a year. We're saying a quarter of the games. We're gonna look terrible Because we didn't play in the preseason Yeah, they play in the preseason Yeah, yeah, yeah or more joint practices or something to me It's no excuse Because I know you're using the whole thing Well, AJ got hurt In a half a half a game. Yes Sam donnell got knocked out in the first series. Yes Didn't plan the preseason. Yeah Got to the first game. Yeah, that engine. Yeah It's why are you every year like you can get hurt at any time you get they get hurt in practice. Yeah, or who's that? You look at her walking to the field today. Yeah, Bowers Rock Bowers out for however long. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, too is hurt for some reason. Yeah. Well too a sugar time I wanted to play that song. Well, it's too late. Oh my back hurt. Yes 2 on 5 592 94 94 better about the Eagles you do after seeing that game. Okay
2 on 5 592 94 94 we will talk about tonight's game coming up next take your calls as well I don't know better at that one. No, I wouldn't mind but that one could look ugly too. Yeah We'll get into that coming up next 2 on 5 592 94 94 this is the WIP after noon show with ike spike in threats first They night football is back in fandoo in partnership with valley forch casino is giving you a reason to celebrate every touchdown For nighters versus the ramps tonight every touchdown pays here's how it works Opt in and use your token on an eligible bet then sit back and watch the touchdowns add up because Every time either team finds the end zone you'll get bonus bets.

Hold me now I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking Maybe six feet Ain't so far down I'm so far down It is the WIP afternoon show but I expect in fritz It's two keys to that vanny one you have to be willing to be vulnerable Yeah, you gotta let everyone know that you can't sing it doesn't matter You're not going for a record deal doesn't matter everybody's having fun. Yeah, you think we can sing we can't sing That's part of the fun and the other thing is I tried to tell buzz this because buzz used to be like all Sing loud before away. Yeah, so what that allows you to do yeah, let you belt it out Without overpowering it and letting everybody know how bad you're saying That's true. Yeah, it's like packet is like home in now It's you do it like this that's not what you want
The Twitter question of the day is brought to by marks jewelers being a bird's fan takes commitment this season make the biggest commitment of your life I find the engagement ring over dreams and marks jewelers actually don't have a twitter question Because we just started the show but it would have been something really compelling I would have asked ike what he thought the percentages were he would have thought about it for a minute Would have come very close so there you go. There's a there's the whole experience So rams and diners tonight this one I wasn't excited for last night. It's time for football. Yeah, but this one even though it's a first week game Even though it's in Australia These two teams have enough coming back Know each other well enough to where this could be Doesn't have to be 37 31 or something, but this could be a really good game tonight Yeah, this this guy should have a little juice. This is a little bit of a rivalry with these two teams You know the coaches histories with each other
um Yeah, I expect this to be a good one. They're fighting that division. They saw Seattle eat by last night So you want to make sure you keep pace No one wants to fall too far behind in the in the arms race to win the NFC West. So I'm interested in and honestly what San Francisco looks like tonight Because I think whether the Rams winner or not. I believe the Rams going to be there at the end They got win like yeah, they're gonna be a good football team regardless. They don't even have Aaron Donald tonight So but but the 49ers is one of those teams That no one is really talking about them like they're afraid of them or like they're super bowl contenders but because of the coaching These are the type of recommend on projects he loves Where there isn't much spotlight on him. There's low expectations because that really shows his coaching genius And these are the types of teams that he winds up winning the NFC West with so this will be interesting to see how San Francisco looks tonight Yeah, absolutely and I think we play San Francisco. Oh, yeah
And the vision yeah The I think second to last game to be here. It's it's the Niners and then the Giants last two years Yes, yes, I think I think the Niners the Niners I think their talent is underrated on offense now because it's not what it was right and for a minute when they had Dibo and they had Iook and There's two guys were receivers. Yes, that's what it is. Yeah, tied in running back. I love well And they do have you know one of these years Mike Evans is not gonna be good anymore, but until He's not good. Yeah, you have to imagine he's gonna be good and respected and here's the other thing on offense And I think it comes down to one player generally why they're underrated on office because Christian McAffery is one of the best backs in the NFL And he has you know a little bit like the way that NBA players when they get older figure out a different way to be great That that's McAffery now. He is not nearly as explosive as he was But because he's such a great pass catcher a great route runner. He's an excellent player George Kittle is back somehow he after having that horrible
Like injury last year. Yes, yes, yes, but Kittle is back He's one of the best tight ends in the NFL and I think I think one of the the thing the reasons they get underrated is I think the quarterbacks underrated Like I don't know how many times Brock Purti has to be good for people to just think Brock Purti's a good quarterback Yeah, it's a good quarterback, you know when he came back Last year and they were doing fine without him. They came back. There was a five six game stretch where they the best offense in the NFL Yeah, it's in part because of him. He's a good player. Yeah. Now he's uh to me. I think he's earned his stripes He's already been to a Super Bowl. Listen when you when you are the last pick in the NFL draft To a face of a franchise as the franchise quarterback Like he's one in the NFL. Yeah, but I think The mr. relevant tag that comes along with him Want to allow people to view him like they do the other guys. Yeah. Well he he has you know when they think it's more shenanigan than it is him Yes, and and some of it is right when you go when he has to make the throws like he does make it a throw
When when you go back go ahead and look at Uh Jimmy Garoppolo's record in the regular season of playoffs and his stats under shenan They look remarkably like parties and Jimmy G I thought was a little bit underrated too, but you're right and one I think I think actually Suffers from at least nationally some of the stuff that jalen suffers from in that none None of Brock Perties physical traits are special or he wouldn't have been the last pick in the draft He doesn't have special arm. He doesn't have special likes none of it He's just good at playing quarterback and they've He's figured it out and he's added a dimension to that shenanhan offense that that that MeG did have is that he can move around and he's a little bit of a cowboy back there take some chances Good player man. I think he's a good player. I'm with you on that. Yeah, I like rock party Yeah, oh right it's frets. Yeah, it doesn't like rock party. I like rock party And one other thing before we get back to the phones 215 592 94 94 I was reading today
I went through all of the season predictions and NFL calm ESPN CBS blah blah blah blah blah And the question for the Eagles is everybody sort of season the same way And because everyone is talking about the cowboys being better They think the Eagles are ultra talented. They have questions about the adjustments on offense And everyone settles into that 10 11 win thing Some of them have nine some of them have 11 but they're all right around the same thing we're gonna pee for the NFC's The question with the Eagles is I know this sounds dumb, but it's the truth is everybody thinks they'll be good Nobody at the moment is predicting that they'll be great And that the difference between them being good and great the answer lies in in the receivers to reassure But really lies with two people or Sean Manion and Jalen Hertz and because from a talent standpoint Yes, we're not as talented as we were last year with with AJ Brown sure, but sure
Again, top heavy yes But like as far as overall roster talent top to bottom Do a lot of our roster They are one of the two or three men They're more talented than the Buffalo Bills They're more talented than the Kansas A Chiefs They're more talented than the C-OX They're more yeah, yeah overall, you know Um, although boy I tell you where that damn JS in again. Oh, he's a monster. He's a monster. He is a monster man, I just think That is the question is we're all in on good. Well you listen to all our predictions Nobody on the stations at 13 wins nobody's at eight wins Every well, maybe by Sunday or maybe by tomorrow. They by four 45 tomorrow Yeah, but that that's just really it is and I really think overall yes Does does McIleman have to be good yes, yes sure, but really it's Manion and Jalen and they I think are
They are the the swing guys and if those guys if Sean Manion is a smart and capable and ready As Jeffrey Laurie and how he rose mnixie rionny think he is and if Jalen Hertz can adapt to this Like we all hope they can absolutely be a great team they can absolutely be a great and if they're not a great team One would guess we can all well might be the offensive line and nobody We would guess if they're not great that that thing didn't work out you would guess that well If if the Eagles don't work out. Yeah, if the Eagles aren't great and I were to say to you If I were to say predict why they wouldn't be great. Yeah, nobody would say the defense No, I would be surprised that yeah It would be rare that you would find somebody to say well maybe say guance cook We think he's probably fine. It would just come down does that see that's where I'm going back to and and That's how I think they're gonna win this year. This doesn't This doesn't minimize what you're saying about Jalen and Sean Manion because I still think Jalen is gonna have to make big throws
Layton games He's gonna have to make good decisions with the football get it out of his hands And make sure the offense stays on schedule, but I I think this is a Not a 2024 say quan offensive line type of season But that's what the offense's identity goes back to I think they look at the offense right you look at the offense And you say who's your best player on offense is say quan Barclay yes, say quan Barclay is your best player on offense I don't think it's debatable Unless you want to do the lean Johnson thing or So I think if that line Can hold up and block this year. I think say quan Is back to being a 1415 hundred yard rusher. That's gonna allow Jalen to be a 3500 yard passer 25 touchdowns Seven interceptions and and we're gonna be all for running like that's the way it's gonna be it's it's it's gonna be to me
Getting the ball and your best players hand and it's no slight to the other guys and that includes the quarterback But say quan is the best player on the offense inside the ball. I think Jalen is gonna have to be Clutch latent games third downs things that efficient. Yes, efficient no three-an-als It's about more than not turning it over. It's about helping the team move the ball. Yes. Yeah, I agree. I'm not doing the whole just We uh a verse to to turn over without we're not doing that risk a verse. We're not we're not doing that You got to run the offense the way it's supposed to be ran. Yeah, if if if uh Well instead of doing the touchdown interception thing if you if you kept the same touchdown interception ratio And he threw for 800 more yards this year than he did last year Well, we're all guessing it's not because they're down 20 to three and they have to throw we're gonna see we're What I want is ten more touchdowns. Yeah, I don't care if they throw them or they run for them Because there's no way they're running for them without him passing the ball better There's no way and you're right about say quan because
When you look at all the position lists Even though say quan had an off year last year on nobody's list is say quan any lower than the fourth fourth best running back in football On no one's list you have jimmyer Gibbs is always ahead of him You have bishon Robinson is always ahead of him aside from that You go either dare Henry Say quan McCaffrey is those three are next yes, they're right there So he's rarely and he is he's the best player and that he is still One would guess he is still in his prime still got good juice in those legs. Yeah, yeah, and he had and Baldi brought this up For a guy who has had such regular injury issues before he got here We've been very lucky with say quan. Yes, we've had a hamstring here and the worries come out of the game for a few plays But he I don't think he's missed a game due to injuries since he's been here. Nope. So two on five five nine two ninety four nine Yes, knock on wood Dan and south hampton you're on w. I. P. Hey, Dan Hey guys, how's it going? What's up, Dan? I'm a man love the stone you guys get me home every day. Appreciate it
Oh, thank you. We're gonna talk and complain about the fillies because you know You work all day you open your phone you're fine that they lose By putting up one run after putting up 11 runs by 12 hours prior doesn't make any sense Yeah, well, we'll we'll move past that I just want to real quick pivot to uh, I loved hearing that recording from the Boston fourth radio I'm glad that uh, they're not the only ones that are hard on quarterback. Yeah. Yeah Well Boston might be crazier than us. That's gonna say yeah, that's the one sitting at carive us with it I mean you have we joke about jack not liking the fillies You have Afternoon drive hosts in Boston openly not liking the teams legitimately saying I am not rooting for them that they are Psychopaths in Boston. I have a lot of respect for them. Go ahead Dan. Sorry. Yeah same No, but like check this out though. Can you imagine and let's play a hypothetical for a second Can you imagine if last night that was jalen and he's put three receptions and he has a terrible cleaplicker and all that Can you imagine how much he would be lit up and nationally?
Yes, yes, everybody would care that I mean I think we're all gonna agree there right and the hate towards jalen's unreal Well, but to be fair though Dan Everyone nationally today is quay questioning whether drake may is good is real yeah because after the playoff games He had last year and the whole stat about he hasn't I don't think he's beat him winning team in the last two years So drake may is getting leveled You know today is yeah That's very true And then just a quick pivot back to the fillies. Yeah, you can't you can't lose to the after I was just before you go down to the brave It doesn't make any sense So it's it's an exciting time for ops and the Philadelphia no questions out But there is definitely some frustrated things that have happened with those fillies in the last couple days No questions out. Yeah, for sure Dan. I mean the fillies At this point This point it's hard for me to get too excited or too angry at anything for the next two weeks Yeah, unless they blow the division they get into position. They do something stupid at this point
I don't like doing this the whole year, but at this point it really is just we You didn't go in the series. Yeah go at this point. I don't say it, but I had to be the first one to say it Because you're in well no, I'm gonna say I we certainly want home games to see me P yeah, but there is something to more pressure being on them Plain here you really you Elliott said that too. I think there is something to it. Yeah, the energy sometimes isn't writing the building and when they don't score early We get tight we do in the building. Yeah, like we've been in there. We've been in there for these games. That's the expectations Not 22 anymore. Yes, so in the one thing about 22 spike they started on the road. Oh really Yes, yes, because they the wild cars. Yeah, so I'm not saying It's what I would prefer. I'm just saying I'm starting to If that's what happens I'm saying to myself. I'm convincing myself. Maybe it maybe fast for them to be on the road They can go out there and play you like, you know, I know Chicago is crazy and they got good fans. Yeah, but I
I just I the last few home series we've had We we as a fan base do such a great job Trying to build the energy leading up to those series New York and Los Angeles And we're there. We're there crowd is packed towels of waving and when we get Like when we get right when we get for it well disappointment We got the one shorter home running game was a game too. I believe it was game one against the mess against the old Was game one yes against the mess it was only hit the whole series. Yeah, see yeah, that's what I'm saying That's the only moment we had yeah, I don't think we even what no we lost that game We want we won the next game on the cat. There was the Bryce Homer and the Cassie Homer and the Cassie It's the double the win the game the the I think Once a team this is I'm speaking for Philip Alfie because I remember this because the sixers is the same thing Once a team is expected to win here the crowd is really like
When it's going well You they can crush the other yes you can crush the other team when it's going poorly It is it's horrible we watched players fill it And and the good part is so good I've mentioned to you on the rickie we're rewatching the six or Celtic series every pod we do another game So we just did game six Game six was in filly they win 106 93 And my recollection of the playoffs last year was just the next series. Yeah, right it was it was horrible At home for the Boston game when things are going well and we're cheering we want Boston and and and beat is notting his head Dude that's great, but when things are going poorly and First thing is silence. Yep, and then the boo here and there and that like and the players feel it There's no doubt Cassie shouldn't have said it totally right though. Yeah, he was right. Yeah, he was right about what it's like here. Yeah All right Pat and Denver throw your bone you're on wip. What's up Pat?
Yeah, it's a total five things I mean You know the the crowd gets silent and you feel it right. Yeah, it's a total vibe thing. So It's almost like the silence the silence and the nerves is worse than the anger When they're booing at least they can motivate the players players a f you you know like inside if they don't say it out loud But the silence the nerves That's what they feel it the anticipation of them being upset is almost worse than them being upset When you have tens of thousands of people that just get quiet You're just like oh There's something going on here and everyone gets nervous and it gets ugly real quick. I've I've been there so many times so yeah, I see Fritz in one of these games. Oh, he's the worst The worst is the way he's horrible to watch a game with you think you want to watch a fillys game a meaningful fillys game with Jack Fritz
The best part of the fillys game watching it with Jack is winning decides to walk around for two hours away from you Love him wanted to watch the fillys playoff with him until I did You don't seem and when you can't it's when we're at the road games and you can't escape him because he's not gonna walk around Watching them lose that met series with Jack was one of the worst experiences in my life Watching with Jack was worse than watching it with my old F.A.N. Friends who like the meds. Yeah, it's bad dude if we have to go to Chicago Again in the day That game today is see that home run went. I was like oh man There's gonna lose It's over And you know, I could just feel it and I you know I don't want to watch that game with Jack. I know he was going crazy. Oh, yeah, I'm sure yeah Well, it's it's and thank you for the call pass. It's not even crazy. It's pissy Yeah, and then sometimes I'll curse
