 Feels good to be here on the Monday two over times a tie multiple references to male body parts That was weird and a slip-and-slide. That's right your full Sunday recap with Darius Butler and awesome reporters starts Now took care of business against the Cowboys last night for Sunday night football one game to go Russell Wilson We got Bronco Seahawks tonight the score last night 19 to 3 not very exciting great job By Torrico and Chris Collins earth and keeping it interesting, but let's get into this Tom Brady stays undefeated against the Bucks. That's right. He's seven to no against the Cowboys They you know Cowboys couldn't get it going Quarterback Dak Prescott leaves the game with an injury and that's where we bring in our first guest getting right to it With the Cowboys and a beat reporter for USA Today Dori Epstein live from Dallas. Welcome to the show I wish we were talking about fun things this morning Absolutely that makes two of us K But great to be here and we'll talk about what happened because that's what we gotta do, right? It's what we gotta do and you know, what is the latest on Dak's injury? Is there any timetable set for his return? Yes, so Dak will meet with the surgeon today and he is going for surgery today Which I think also tells you something about the severity of the injury. They're wasting no time on this Once they go to the surgeon once the surgery goes through hopefully without any complications They'll have a clearer timeline, but when Jerry Jones tells you quote several weeks Jerry's the eternal optimist So I view that as the starting point I mean at least a month and it's going to be a long haul Well, they're at six weeks eight weeks The Cowboys will need to move forward for the foreseeable future without their franchise quarterback And you were talking to Jerry Jones last night there in Dallas late You know, there were all these cutaways to him watching the game from my couch And I hate seeing it for this team that has so much talent and I love Dak Prescott Uh, and then you were in the locker room and the players Found out from you guys what was going on Yeah, I mean it was crazy like I was with Jerry Jones then going to the locker room We're interviewing Titan Dalton Schultz and I'm like Dalton Jerry just told us that Dak will be out several weeks He needs surgery What's going through your mind when when you hear that and he's like wait So he's not going to be out the full season right like confirming with us based on what Jerry told us Dr. Jerry once again And Dalton's like, okay, that means there's a light in the tunnel But he goes I view it as a storm and you can either run at it or or from it And he said that everyone in the locker room is going to be running at that mother effort with his clothes So I mean several players there's disappointment But there is also this determination that they know Dak would step up if they were out And they want to do the same for him. Love it. And then you have Cooper rush there There's a lot of talk and we'll talk to Darius Butler who's out ready to go moments from now Lot of talk about jimmy g we talked about a little bit before we hit the airwaves here Do they feel confident in cooper rush? Are they going to look to add as a free agent because even before dat got injured They couldn't really get anything going if you make a move like that, you know, you got to be contending. So what do you think? Yeah, absolutely. And that's the thing. This is the best Cowboys defense we've seen in a while and Are you going to waste that defense with what the offense put up last night and the offense getting worse? It was interesting We were talking to Jerry kind of as a group and he starts walking away and I kind of ran after him And I'm like wait Jerry like we didn't really talk to you about cooper rush What do you see from him? Now again, Jerry being the optimist goes Well, remember when Tony Romo went down and now you've got Dak Prescott stepping up and how he felt When Tony went down verse two and a half months later when we had to decide who to play at quarterback That's kind of the the view that he he sees it through Do I think that jimmy is a better quarterback than cooper rush? Absolutely Do I think that the cowboys want to make a move when they really value that understanding of the offense that knowledge of the weapons? I don't now, of course, they'll look around at least but I don't think that if you're a Cowboys fan You should be confident based on what this front office has shown at the offensive line and receiver positions That they're going to go out and get you a new quarterback Interesting jory ebbstein at jory ebbstein on twitter. We appreciate you for taking the time I'm sure you didn't sleep at all so go take a nap while we Continue our show here. And by the way, the cowboys do have the bangles. Thanks, dory. We'll say goodbye to you I think they have to come there we go Bangles next week We'll get to the bangles and stealers because I've got thoughts on that one but for all these storylines around the nfl Let's welcome in our friend who'll be joining us every week nine-year nfl That who played for the Patriots the Panthers and of course the Colts deris putler I did not catch the f1 so you're gonna have to get me updated and up to speed on that But let's start with last night. You heard jory ebbstein on deck on the tom table. What do you make of the cowboys? mess Man, it was it was ugly even before uh deck went out and obviously we had concerns You know with only one quarterback on the roster behind that krupa rush was bought in he was cutting and brought back But an offense look out of sync Uh cd lamb had a couple of drops dawg shoots wasn't involved enough Zeke did look good though. So that's the silver lining You still had a great defensive performance outside of that touchdown to mike evans But uh, it's not looking good the rest of the nfce Surprisingly got wins on a weekend and and dallas was the lone nfce's team that didn't and now deck is out of there for six to eight weeks That's terrible. So you got to maybe make some calls around the league For a quarterback to come in there and keep them afloat. Who you calling? You're jerry jones. Who you calling? I mean, you got to go out west and call jimmy g first You got to call sand friend and see if they'll let them go. Um, you get them at a much better price Um, then you would have anybody could have a month ago been that they um reduce the salary But you make their call to sand friend. Um, and then maybe even out the baltimore You know, obviously they have some question marks for their quarterback You know as far as locking lamar up long term, which i'm sure they will if he stays healthy But snoop huntley, you know, he's a great quarterback as well. Um in that backup position You need a quarterback in this league. You just do I don't care how good your running game is I don't care how good your defense is you need a quarterback to hold you over at least and that could be out, um At least six to eight weeks. You hear that from jerry. You got to say, you know, it's gonna be at least that So, um, you got to make something happen there and make make it happen quick You're right. You need a quarterback in this league, but you also need a backup quarterback in this league It's a premium position and they need to address that my thing is dairies You, you know, it's a very cute thing to say. Well, just call up jimmy and everybody's problem is solved But here are the niners Seriously though, are you comfortable Trading jimmy g at this point with the way that the trailance offense looked and I know there was rain And I know there was no george kittle and I know it was week one But do you know what i'm saying? Like I don't know if they're going to Could be answering that phone call in the first ring I mean they were comfortable enough to to to make trade a guy to make him the starter You only have jimmy for one more year anyway So you might as well get something for him and then just put all your eggs in that trailance, uh basket And like you said it is week one, uh kittle wasn't out there You had terrible weather even before the game started. I said, you know, I'm not even gonna watch this game because I don't want to Mess up my view on justin fields or trailance coming into this season But I ended up watching anyway and um, you know a lot of things obviously trade got to clean up and got to learn In the fly and I expected him to have some struggles early In this game, but you got to at least pick up the phone of dallas calls and see what you can Potentially get and then obviously jimmy g will have to sign off on it as well because he has that no trade clause So there are some moving parts there, but you got to at least uh entertaining if you're saying friend and if you're dallas obviously So let's talk about the others I don't want to be that show that you know, we come in the bucks Crush the cowboys and we're just talking cowboys all morning long. Uh, so Yeah, there we go. I don't want to be like that. By the way, I need that hoodie. I need that podcast hoodie. Will you please send me one? Okay, uh So i'm looking at this from the buck side and brady obviously looked all in They ran a town which I loved london fornet doing his thing out there The o-line obviously an issue But I want to ask you like my favorite part of watching games yesterday was watching Some of the og's or guys that got traded in places like to say quanton barkley's just thrive michael tom is coming back with two Dugs, it was amazing, but brady specifically Has been really hyping up julio jones and he looked great really great at times Does he look like prime? Oh g julio jones to you and what does that mean for the buccaneers? Okay? I've been hyping them up too I've been hyping julio jones too, man. I know it. You know, he's been dealing with injuries injuries have been his biggest thing Um, and then obviously been in that tennessee titans offense I will ryan tennahill quarterback. Maybe a lot of people thought he was washed. He was done But I think you you'll see him definitely revive himself down there in tampa Hopefully been on that tv 12 method. He looks healthy time is obviously a great quarterback And then chris garland, you know, he came back from the acl was great to see him out there But he left with a hamstring early. So um, julio made that big play and I think that's just a flash I think we'll continue to see him early in the office and think about it in this league When you're as skilled as julio when you're as good like that doesn't go anywhere and a quarterback like tom Who knows where receivers need to be who knows where he needs to place the ball knows how to read defenses That that's like always a marriage made Um in heaven when you have a great quarterback and great receivers even when they're up there in age So i'm excited to see what julio does uh this year in tampa and uh, like you said tom did look all in He had a very uncharacteristic late Interception Uh and and the running game was great the running game They leaned on Leonard for net and that running game to kind of set the tone with that banged up offensive line And i'm sure they'll continue to get better. Mike evan showed up. He was still mike evan And chris godwin was hurt so julio jones will probably play an even big girl and for those of you Who are into the drama side of things jazelle did twit support for her hubs Before the game. All right, we want to get through as many of these games as we can so let's move on here to the packers and the vikings because we have to uh Talk about wide receivers more. I listen. I love divante adams. Darius. I love him. I know that they missed him That's the big storyline. Is there more to it on this green bayside? no, I don't think there's more to it and Rogers a ride pretty much laid it out for everybody. Uh a few weeks ago when he called out the young receivers, you know He said it again. I think in his post game press conference You know guys have to know what to do and then when they are where they need to be they got to catch the ball You know bill bellichick told us and told the room When I was a rookie in the league he said receivers got Two jobs get open and catch the ball and that that's what the green bay receivers have to do And I think they will it's just a young group. They're figuring it out. Um, but they have a great quarterback A couple of their offensive linemen were out a couple of their best tackles were out So they'll be back in there pretty soon a really good defense who Next time please be aware of where justin jefferson is I watched the film from last year the week 11 match up with jefferson went off and I'm thinking coming into this game Like they're gonna have Seven bulls eyes on 18 right. He still went off. It was absolutely great So, uh, but I think the patch receivers will figure it out. What do you okay? Packers receivers are one thing You're saying that that there's no their offensive line injuries or not rogers was sacked four times. He was absolutely obliterated Uh in the pocket, which you hate seeing because he's not you know a young cat anymore And he's like running for his life out there and then zadaria smith was super funny as well But I want to ask you about like all game. I was annoyed. I'm sitting on my couch You have 23 you have jayrelle xander. He's so good. Mwah chef's kiss. Justin jefferson one of the best I am screaming at my tv. Why isn't 23 shadowing 18 the whole time It's not that simple game. It's not that simple It used to be back in the day when we're growing up watching ball It was easy back in the day Hey, you just go guard that guy and take him out of the game. All right But now these offenses have gotten so advanced And they do so many different things with these receivers, you know Justin jefferson could be in the slide. It could be outside. It could be on the left or right in the back field So how do I call the defense as a deep corner? I can't just say hey 23's gotta be on 18 and it just doesn't it doesn't work like that I know we all wanted to but unfortunately it doesn't but It still can work where whatever we call whatever defense I call cover two four three one whatever it is It has to be adjusted based on where 18 lines up like he's that good And there's a handful of guys who are that good jefferson is that good career game The Packers have realized at this point But it was shocking to just see him, you know matched up with Preston Smith in the open field Or just running wide open with a rookie linebacker chasing them So they definitely got to figure it out from that standpoint the other issue and I'm sorry to pick on the poor Packers here But I mean it's week one We saw what happened with Saints like they they were a little bit lifeless But there's this thing that happens with them. This is my final thought they sort of Let things spiral sometimes granted Aaron Rodgers. We've seen some more the most incredible Comebacks of my lifetime With him, but they get down sometimes and they don't Respond look at yesterday. You had the Saints fight back You have the Colts fight back even you know, they have the Bengals fight back And I feel like sometimes and I wrote specifically down There was a Bucks game in 2020 this happened Saints last year week one It it doesn't just it's not just bad. It feels like a disaster and they can't climb up out of it What is that about? How do they fix that? Like you get pouty Rodgers, you know pouty Rodgers And then everybody just sort of like stays in the muck and I want to see them fight back a little bit more consistently Yeah, like you say and there has been you know, plenty of times where they they've come back And had great things but sometimes, you know When teams have their number they just have the number and it gets ugly and uglier and uglier And that's what it was uh yesterday and like in last year week one kind of the same thing And maybe it's something to you know, not playing as much in the preseason or you know Not being together as much in the off season because you kind of saw that with the Rams too when they came on Everybody knows they don't play in the preseason and the bills kind of did this year. So situations are situational But the Packers like I said, hey the air rodgers have had plenty comebacks under his belt But that one was it was bad yesterday and it never really got going these young guys got to figure it out Darius we got to talk Steelers bangles We got to talk about you know, how worried we are about the bangles thing huge news Of course on jack prescott, which is breaking this morning that he'll be out six to eight weeks at least But we also have news on tj watt that is grim and bleak and not the part of the ball That we love we'll talk mohomes and how he Torched the Cardinals all after this more with deris butler and then of course we will have some Excellent reporters talking Steelers giving us the absolute latest people who are in the locker rooms on the ground and stats Will join us my old friend. So we'll fight about the bears Back here on up and Adams our next guest covers the Green Bay Packers for Fox six in the locky I've been a big fan of you for a long time. Thanks for taking the time this morning. Lily's out I'm so happy to be on your talking some Packers football I know I wish it was like a win we could be talking about but we have questions because there's the Packers Aaron Rogers his wide receivers He was talking to them disciplining them then he was having one-on-one lunches with Romeo Dobbs and this whole thing Were you surprised with how the offense looked? I was and then I I guess when you're looking at how the Packers start the season three years out of four And they're not the floor. They just have gotten out to a really slow start offensively But when you don't have the safety blanket that is Devonte Adams And you have these working receivers that again are making their first NFL start They're going to be some jitters or to be some big plays where you're thinking well, I should have had that Namely Christian Watson on that drop on a would-be touchdown It is kind of shocking as to how disjointed this team looked again You have all this time to prepare for your season opener You know it was you know said that Matt LaFleur was kind of questioning their energy and their effort in the first half Whatever was said during locker room. I'm not sure what it was but it seemed to galvanize his team But it certainly was a game where it felt just nothing was going to go right and that's just kind of what snowballed Into a loss in week one And then you look at what needs to happen, right health. You can't determine, but you have any updates What are you hearing? You're so close to the team Alan lasar of that offensive line. Where does the offense go from here? Well, they're going to have to get healthy and you know the talk around town is that we might not even see David Bocteari in week two So that's going to be a big question as to when can they be fully healthy on that offensive line because That is when you can kind of count on erin rogers jersey being clean So that's going to be a big concern until they can, you know, physically get elton jankins and david bocteari They're probal linemen back In terms of their linebacking core, they took a big hit there. They had curse farms go down He had an air cast on his leg. So that's not going to be good Kway Walker their their sensational rookie linebacker also is dealing with the shoulder injuries So they're taking some hits and some positions. Well, they can't afford to But again, it's still week one. They have time to get back on the field But it's just a little dispersion as to, you know, these big positions taking hits the scurry in the season Well, we all saw what happened last year week one against the saints And then you won the mbp again the play officer just what matters with this team davante adams That'll have to be sorted. But hey, at least your brewers won yesterday seven six over the reds It was close for comfort though. Okay But they squeaked out of win gotta declare victory and celebrate when you can thank you so much Lizao covering the Packers for us here on up and Adams now Here we got chef D saying Steelers believe tj watt tour his peck. This is huge news deck press got out six to eight weeks as well Big stars going down In their 2022 debut. He'll undergo scans apparently. Oh, look at this site for sore eyes here From the athletic, please welcome in mark Come on Oh Help me For you k For you k you can pronounce it any way you want k Bulleye, that's what i'm gonna say. How are you my friend? I know you didn't sleep a lot, but let's talk about tj watt What are you hearing? Well, the locker room's not open for another couple hours, but it didn't look good I was standing right there by the locker room when he came off right at the beginning of overtime or the end of Regulation and he wasn't too thrilled about it. I mean at the best case scenario right now You're looking that it's a partially torn Peck muscle and maybe he can come back at the end of the year, but that's not known right now, but Either way, he's going to be out a long long long period of time And that's not good for the steelers defense now this offense not good that missed, you know Sorry to say this deal I mean the bingles turned over the ball five times and the Steelers almost lost this game So what are we thinking about michael trebisky? Going forward the Steelers are like to say they took the ball away five times. Okay Sure go for it, but they still barely won the game like that's sort of insane. So give me some confidence in this team Well, it's probably not going to come from the offense. I mean if you watched the game yesterday It was not pretty at times I think it all had to do with them trying to protect miss trebisky with an offensive line that Is relatively new. I mean a four of the five guys didn't play much last year at all three of them are brand new They struggled in the preseason. So they're just trying to get miss trebisky to get rid of the ball quick nausea harris didn't have any holes opening at all But there's only so much you can do here With this offensive line before you can say hey regardless of how poor you played in the spring and in the preseason We're going to have to let you Do your job and hopefully mitch can throw the ball down the field. It was a very calculated offense And it was an offensive. It's not going to move much in in like now you say tj. Watts hurt lee by wallis's hurt They played a hundred snaps yesterday the whole entire secondary that it's not going to get better with patriots coming to town Then a quick turn around with the browns four days later. Yeah, so you can't be expecting these, you know Defensive performances like it's the offense going to have to pick it up and I don't see it coming right now But I did see I mean tomlin celebrating victory as he had it. They have the patriots next week They could easily start the season two and oh, I'd be surprised if you know There was a losing record in store, but that tj watt thing is brutal caboli cabali We love you. We love your work for the athletic love watching on pat mackafee as well And we appreciate you as you bring in derrius butler to continue our breakdowns We're going to get through some of these real quickly the Steelers, of course stifle The bangles early then, you know win in overtime. This game was absolutely drunk like taking shots at the bar running their tab out unbelievable Uh, where should a concern level be with the bangles? I have no concerns about them Oh, uh, I'm gonna say no concerns, uh, because obviously joe bro is this spectacular You know, he's dynamic at the quarterback position So i'm not concerned with him and his talent his confidence or any of that But at offensive line, man, I think he was set seven times hit 11 You gotta take care of the franchise and he started off the game with a poor re a poor throw Minka Fitzpatrick made a lot of money this offseason He earned it from the very first play to the very last play when he blocked the field goal for him So, um, you know, he that defense played great, but not not concerned about joe bro at all Uh, listen, you're not turning over the ball five times every game And if you are you are losing that game by 30 points So I actually take a lot out of it They it was they played terribly the offensive line new look this new look that Didn't look good at all But then you also have to look at how they never really has a joe Never really get flustered, right? They they are in control at all times and uh, you know, they they didn't get rattled I mean mist chip shot field gold mist extra point. Their snapper was hurt. That was drama, of course They should have lost this game by 40 points and they almost won at Darius. So not super concerned with that Yeah, unflappable and that's another thing. You got to find your march ace. Okay defense find your march ace Just like I don't know what it is these ls you guys they just hit in or something But my goodness, I love it. And now on the stealer side, you know, I will say this and I would love your thoughts You know, we can say what you want about michael drabisky And everyone's talking about tj watt and mark kiboli was nice enough to join us huge devastating loss I'm a little bit Now i'm really worried about naji harris. I don't know why We're not talking about this. He averaged 2.3 yards per carry. Obviously not really giving him the work there That's what's scaring me because they need him the offense should be built around him And they should be feeding him the ball He suffers a lis franca injury and we're sort of acting like he's going to be out there and and be a difference maker Jaylin warren is the backup I'm really worried about naji down the stretch and that might be the playoff hopes the winning record hopes of the stealer squad Yeah, I'm worried about him too because you know, at least mitch drabisky right now It doesn't look like you want to be able to lean on him to win a bunch of games, you know with his arm A lot of still figuring out that offensive line really good talent at the wide receiver position But here is he's a workhorse naji. Here's the workhorse back there and hurting his foot in week one Definitely doesn't look well for this offense and you spoke on tj wad a little bit That's not a guy. You just you can just go out and replace reigning defensive player of the year Reads absolute havoc every sunday may plays in the backfield had a great interception High smith ali hasmith. They have a few sacks as well as defense all flew around and played great, but it's gonna be tough Everything Absolutely going to be really except for that that late kick, but it's going to be really tough replacing 90 out There's we'll see how they do out there in blitzberg. Let's move on to a team that didn't miss beat patrick wahom's unstoppable against the cardinals Did he put to rest any questions that anyone may have had like they're fine without ty re kill and I actually love it for them I mean Ridiculous to even question it to begin with One of the most talented quarterback prospects we've ever seen coming to league kind of took the league by storm And it's still right up there at the top and then any re great offensive play callers a head coach Eric being to me also calling plays as the oc and just wait whoever's in there They're gonna get in the ball My home's gonna be great and you still have Travis kelsie who is the best tight end in the game And if you just look at pure pass catchers You've got to put them in the top five or you know seven eight in that regard So um the other guys around here will continue to figure it out and get better and figure out my homes But my homes is great and will always be great So I worked the sidelines for them last year and the whole Theme was who's going to be the number two and step up to ty re kill And mccall hardman had a lot of pressure to be that guy and it didn't really work because You know patrick just goes to ty reaker. He goes to travis kelsie and that's how it works Where I loved last night. They don't need ty re kill They don't and they proved it and they're having more balance to their offense Which is something i've always wanted for them clad edwards a lair was so involved You have all of the sky more mvs juju so much depth So they didn't go out, you know, they didn't lose ty re kill and then go out and grab Some other receiver to come in there to fill his spot. You can't really replace him What you can do is replace it with depth which they did what they're going to need to see patrick my homes Distribute the ball. I was so happy for mccall hardman who got a chance to get in there and do his thing And let's not pretend mccall hardman doesn't have four three speed. He's not cheetah speed But he's quick enough to get it. Yes Yeah, and I will say this all of this happened with a hurt wrist from our patrick myhomes our prolific quarterback Watch out. I see didn't even know that. Yeah, watch out afc. So, uh, we'll see about that I'll also say about myhomes. He didn't look like he was forcing things last year I thought he was forcing things a little bit. He was sort of looking at what the defense was giving him I was watching tape of him earlier this morning and it looks like 2018 2019 patrick myhomes out there. So Maybe as we as the weeks come we'll see did he feel pressure to get the ball to ty re kill? And now he's able to feed the rest of the family and see what that's like Last one for you just in herbert chargers They avenged last season's week 18 loss to the raiders herbert awesome the defense Khalil mack out there getting three sacks. I loved it. What were your thoughts? Still a calil mack is still calil mack. I was so excited by him coming over obviously we didn't see jc jackson But durwin james got his money this offseason. He flew around and looked great Um, so the defense they they look pretty good some things to clean up as well But just the herbert picking up kind of right where he left off just clean You know his whole process his progressions his arms every time you watch herbert play just like with myhomes You're going to see four or five throws where you're like wow this this kid is special He did it yesterday. He lost kenan allen kind of early in the game It really didn't miss a beat obviously our kenan allen is a huge part of that passing game So hopefully he gets back out there sooner or later with the hamstring But just the herbert is special and anytime tan takes the field. Um, you got a chance He was my preseason MVP pick. Yeah, me too. I still feel pretty good about it Mine is too, but you know, and but yesterday to me was not about justin herbert week 18 last year Justin herbert was awesome He could not have been better They could not get a stop and that's why they lost that game to the raiders Yesterday they proved to me that they can do that and more which I left. All right. We have one game left Tonight, of course monday night football. What do I need to be looking at? Javante Williams for me, uh, I can't wait to see him get going. It's a lot of it's a Young receiving crew for bronco for the Broncos only two touchdowns from last year It's coming back from the top three guys Sutton had those two Judy mistime hamler mistime So we'll see if Russ he's got paid to he should elevate the play of those young receivers But I think they'll lean on that backfield. That's the strength of his offense strengthen his team right now Javante Williams, Melvin Gordon. So I think they'll be going in them early and often and then this is the Gino Smith era on the other side So we'll see how this goes everybody a lot of people are writing off the seahawks Coming into this year. I am excited to watch that defense play But I think the broncos will take this one tonight Yeah, now I saw your uh, your tweet yesterday and I sent it to I was like at the bar reading it to strangers Because I loved this thought every game in every booth We should have an expert that speaks on Coverages at least basic concepts principles. We get none of it. We got to figure that out network So should that be you? I think so and I really love this idea because when I'm yelling on my couch about I don't know what's going on. I could abuse that explanation Yeah, it's already bad enough, you know, we don't get the safeties in the tv shot But yeah, I wasn't just talking about myself. Obviously talking about myself Hand up throw my name in the hat as well networks. But yeah, we need it We have rules specialist. Uh, we have kicking specialists in the booth sometimes we need coverage That's a huge part of the game and I'm so tired of hearing. Oh cover two Oh man to man like those are the only things we get as far as coverages So we need to just have an expert that can break it down and say, hey, this is what happened This is what needs to be fixed. This is probably how they're going to be attacked again because dbs need to know it same way quarterbacks need to know it So I think uh networks are missing out and I think once they start to do that the fans will enjoy it And uh, I think it'll be a better product for viewers and as a whole you got to workshop that idea I think networks will be calling you but you're racking up the jobs left and right I'll I'll find with you doing that and I support it as long as you still hang out with us here on up in adam stairs Butler you're absolutely. Thank you. We'll talk about the dolphins. Maybe sometimes later this week Thank you for being here. We'll be back. I got some takeaways from these games Of course we got breaking news on tj watt and deck press got will give you injury fallout all your Most important information right here I had so many thoughts yesterday and a lot of gratitude and a lot of happiness for certain players who got to Show off or pay off a vendetta or show that they still got it and I was all about it and uh, here's just a few of mine Will be of course unpacking them all week There's a new new york, which I love and everybody's talking about it But I gotta get in on the love fest after the giants took down the titans 21 to 20 Such an exciting game a heartwarming game on such a difficult day september 11th For new yorkers and everyone alike. I cannot say enough about brian dable going for two And the win just showing the faith in his players to go out there and execute Uh, I mean look at this. He's celebrating with his team after even if they lost the game going for two Trusting sehkwan barkley of all people so much someone who feels like he has so much to prove You're sending a message. You're a first time head coach. You're saying this is how I do things This is how we're gonna develop chemistry. I trust you go take me there. So had they lost this game I'd still be saying this I would be just as excited Uh, he was given Daniel jones the business on the sideline I think giants fans very very very very very much like that that interception was Disgusting but he's hug and shepherd, you know, who's a veteran? He's embracing and emotionally spent and by the way looking peak form sehkwan barkley Who had 164 yards on the ground double derrick henry's output of 82 yards How about that most rushing yard sehkwan has had in nearly three years Also leading the team with six catches and another 30 yards through the air by the way So he showed how much it means to him to the team Right now and it means so much that he's feeling 100 and he's going to win them some games if he can stay healthy So congrats to the new new york It's good to see you and i'm in LA and that makes me sad because I miss you All right a team that I know and love that I knew wouldn't get much love in the headlines today That one the saints and credit to the falcons would a brilliant start But look out for the saints often if they were down big they were down 26 to 10 And then after coming out of the magical medical blue tent in the fourth quarter james went crazy 13 of 16 near perfect for 213 yards and two touchdowns leading the saints from a 26 10 deficit to win the game And you know he did it this entire receiving course stepped up and got rolling How happy am I for jarvis landry? He was seven for 114 nobody talked about jarvis landry going to the saints He's going to be a key. He's a veteran. He's a good person for michael thomas Who you know wants the ball wants to be his best to perform michael thomas five for 57 two touchdowns You can tell he was emotional about it and happy to be back and somebody I've talked about a lot on this show Alrighty chris olave 3 for 41 critical two point conversion by the way to bring new orleans within a score So the saints had one of the weakest receiving cores in the league last year And now it might be one of the strongest jarvis saying glowing things about denis allen talking about grit What a gritty win that keep it going saints Uh, okay for my last one Yes, we can talk about Tyree hill we can talk about debon to adams having big Performances for their new respective teams, but that doesn't mean you can forget about a j brown This game was so fun. It's my favorite game yesterday eagles lions. It was such a battle. I love deandre swift I love dan cambell for saying losing by three isn't good enough That's what he said after the game the big story was a j brown though on the eagle side Uh, you know, don't forget about what he can do for an offense He had pretty much all of their work. He had 10 catches for 155 yards Accounting for 64 of jail in herds passing yards. He sparked this eagles passing attack in a big way I really do think just his presence makes them so much more dangerous this season and tefante smith Of course, we'll get some some looks here as we go on But the passing game was such a struggle at points last year So with a true number one that can make game changing plays I really feel like we can see the eagles emerge as a contender I was called my shot. They win the east Uh, and they get it done because of a j brown's presence what he does for that passing game And what he does for the confidence of jail in herds who was incredibly yesterday and just I probably ran a little bit too much for my comfort for my prediction. So we'll see about that Those are my three takeaways. I want to know what yours is hit us up at up in adams We have got to talk about this Slip it and slide in into Monday night football.

All right So The bears got a win. I'm from chicago. I'm happy for the bears I'm also good friends with someone who covers the niners and is very fervent about it So I sent this tweet to said friend last week to entice him to come on the show I said come on the show next week to recap lances win over the bears and I sent this as we welcome in my good friend here Rob stats guerrera. He is of course an nfl podcast So his brilliant mind for espionation nfl show and niners nation stats. I have literally been disowned told never to return chicago I was called a turncoat What? This is all your fault. Okay. It's all your fault. What? What's my fault? The niners lost is my fault Yes, I've had adjada ever since you sent that tweet guaranteeing victory and the niners just laid a giant egg in chicago You're welcome chicago fans who are mad at me. I'm the reason you won Yesterday in the torrential downpour of soldier field. Uh, it was a crazy game. I'm not sure I'm just gonna start here. I'm not sure we can glean too much on either side from this Can't we like you kind of especially the niners side? It's raining. You don't know george kiddle block and you kind of got a toss this one out, right Well, here's the thing. It didn't really get crazy raining until halfway through the fourth quarter I mean the 49ers went right down the field on their opening drive and looked fine until debo samuel fumbled that ball in the Red zone So yeah, I think we didn't get a totally complete picture But it's not like it was a total monsoon the entire time and so you can't take anything away from it Well, what did you make a trailances performance? He was what I thought he would be he was up and down Um, he did make some good throws, but he missed tyler craft a wide open would have been a walk-in touchdown He should have had that he didn't scramble as much as I thought he would he looks hesitant as a runner to me still But the worst part was under pressure. He was under duress all day long He was one of seven under pressure for minus two yards He has got to be better than that if the 49ers offense is going to play the way we all think they can There was a couple injuries, of course in this game kales didn't even start and then I you know debo samuel He had that one beautiful touchdown It was and I know it was raining. So I don't know how much you put stock into that. It seemed a little Vanilla granola just you know when I see shanahan. I just expect a little more. Did you get that feeling too? The feeling I get from shanahan is the better the defense plays the more conservative he gets and it drives me nuts The bears had less than 70 total yards at halftime and the 49ers just seemed happy to to have a lead Like he needs to play like he wants to drop 50 on people and he never does and for an offensive genius He seems to have a hard time getting the ball in the hands of debo and brandon. I you very frustrating from shanahan yesterday Yeah, really really frustrating but I want to get get into this jimmy g thing more with you Which is just a chicago understand the city of chicago and all of its suburbs I sent this tweet because you are you're just mad. You're mad about jimmy. You're mad. They brought him back You're mad that you know, but you don't like either of them You like them both and I was just trying to be positive and know you Because I know how easy it is to get that vein in your forehead to explode sometimes And that's what I was going for and then uh, you know Lightning struck at soldier field and the bears won. What do you make of what's going on? What are you hearing covering the team in and out just like what's here? You know take us into your world and your eyes have to take with these two This is so frustrating like you cannot imagine if you were going on a date k You're on a date with someone and on the way to the restaurant. They say just got to make a quick stop We just have to go pick up my x. They're gonna come with us on the date. Don't worry. They'll be in the back seat It's gonna be fine. It would not be the worst date. I've ever been on if that happened would not be the worst date That's another story for a different time But that's what the 49ers are doing and if these losses start to become a thing There's going to be calls from inside the house inside the 49ers locker room Saying what are we doing messing around with this kid that has less than 400 career passes jimmy's here Let's put him in and go win some games. That's what staley said, right? Joe staley said there's going to be it's going to be up to the players to either stay patient But when I hear that quote from someone who spent his entire career over 10 years in that locker room That's just support for jimmy anyway. If they were bought in on trey lance I don't know that staley would come out and say oh if he has rookie mistakes and he will They're gonna want jimmy like if you know I don't know. I just I feel like it's so much perspective Is being gleaned from them, but you know them keeping him's big too So everyone's talking about the you know the cowboys Wanting to maybe pull him in make the call and make the trade But if I'm the Niners after seeing trey lance yesterday, I'm not trading him That's the frustrating thing about this right the 49ers have this window It's almost like lance is penalized for being drafted by a good team You'd picked the guy that's going to need the most time to develop think of like a josh Allen who needed multiple seasons before he became what he became But now because they're in this win now window and you've got jimmy on the team People want to pull trey lance after one game. It's crazy to me And if I were the 49ers and the cowboys came calling I would say yes faster than they could finish that sentence Oh, I love it stats bringing the heat here on the other side. Let's talk a little bears You know all 32 teams really well just in fields Uh, what did you make of his performance and then his slip and slide which was the best I've ever seen All week I said the 49ers could not let the bears hang around because just in fields is good enough to make One or two plays by himself That could be the difference in the game and that is exactly what we saw yesterday He was not great like I said for the first half day average less than three yards of play But he avoided the rush he rolled out He made plays deep down the field and those were the difference in the game If they had any help around him in Chicago, I would feel great about just in fields if he had what the 49ers have He would be incredible. They should be happy and the 49ers should be ashamed of themselves Do niners fans embrace you or do they is it just a complicated relationship because you keep it all the way real and most people don't If you had to guess what how do you think they feel about me? They're not happy. Well, I'll say this when I tweet at you everyone is very pro stats Everyone is always like he's insane. He's nuts. He's like Which I love I thought the more interesting part on the Chicago side for me Was that I of course I of course want them to win. I mean, I'm of course going to celebrate it Uh, but they were so mad bears fans. I've never seen them this mad and they haven't been good in so long And we like we talk about their superbowl win in the 80s as if it happened last year We're living in the past as an organization completely. It's like what the cowboys do I'm watching sunday night football. They're pulling up the rings of the 90s cow. I'm like get over it We're not living in that time anymore. And that's how I felt about the bears a lot They're so angry like titans fans are angry like this because we're not talked about we're not respected We made it to the a fc championship I'm getting a lot of that from bears fans and I just think it's really interesting That they're so downtrodden and they're like it's as if they won their superbowl yesterday Nobody thought the bears were going to win that game, but they've earned that I mean you they have a whole new regime there in chicago because they have been terrible And if you're a bears fan, who cares if people are talking about you enough You won a game against a team that was in the nfc championship game last year and you're going to be mad on monday That doesn't make any sense We love you. You're on the show. Please come back anything from monday night football any thoughts I just want the seahawks to lose so the entire nfc west could be 0 and 1 Uh, what do you think about ross a little son? You think he's a good fit jerry judy? Hopefully can get some things done Yeah, I mean look ross is a good quarterback. I think he's going to be fine in denver I think he's he's not as bad as he looked last year in seattle coming off the finger injury And he's going to have to be good because that division is an absolute beast. So you have seahawks next week Yes, and thank god ross isn't there. So you're playing in the next two weeks the two teams that played tonight Exactly and hopefully the niners can write the ship next week because I know ross is going to torment them because he's 17 and 4 In his career against the 49ers. So i'm not looking forward to that game. All right story I need to update on kittle. Do we need to know like what when am I when is he back? Not clear right now. He tried to go but he obviously didn't go I think the weather might have been a part of that Hopefully he can come back next week But no definitive word on him and no definitive word on elijah michel who left this game in the first half Although kyle shanahan does speak later to get today. So we should have some clarity And he loves giving clear answers So they're going to enjoy that press conference rock stats. Guerrero check them out over on espionation. We appreciate you stats You're awesome. We'll be back bears are want to know you know who they have next week The packers We'll see we'll see how that goes. We got a big monday night football game to wrap up week one action in a way we go Let's ride Let's ride Broncos let's ride Perfect one more time broncos country. Let's ride Broncos country. Let's ride Broncos country. Let's ride Broncos country Let's ride Up an adam show. Let's ride Uh, okay, we played that one. So brian. We're not playing that ever again. We have a one per week play of that You know what i'll say this we bring in conrad company. Who's the producer? I don't do you think that russia wilson made that up as we wind down here on a monday or do you or do you think the producer said Do this because i've been in that situation a lot And you we did a photo shoot here and it's will you hold money? Will you you know do this will you have a football like you were running back? And i'm like absolutely not because you will use that But producers and people behind the scenes try to trick you into doing stuff No, that's been russia from day one. Look at wisconsin on wisconsin with the seahawks go hawks And then his broncos nation. Let's ride. He has to have it. He has to have it But more importantly look at us today. I know are we are we matching? Do we do we plan this? We're like brother and sister. I love you conrad company huge matchup tonight russia wilson going back to seattle all the Emphasis is on that i'm fascinated to see how he performs with jerry judy and courtland Sutton around him The pressure Look at broncos haven't played pressures on them to keep pace In the afcs with things are going on chargers and chiefs already both one and o to start the season We had dairies butler on who said javante williams is who you should be watching and he also What did he call his shot on somebody to have a touchdown dk mech cap dk mech cap would have a touchdown I will add jerry judy will score tonight as my bold prediction for this evening. Do you have one my friend? I don't necessarily have a bold prediction. I just think that russia wilson comes in and cooks the hawks tonight I think that he wants blood. Those are your hawks. Well, they are my hawks, but pete carol had some weird stuff to say He's like should the fans boo russell and he's like, I don't know man in between the lines We'll see what it is. You know what russia wilson. Thank you for the nine years in seattle. It's much appreciated Who steps up and is a leader? You can say russell wilson is an absolute leader So without him in the post russell wilson era in seattle who steps up there Is this a ruchad penny game? I'll just tell you he rushed for 134 yards per game with six touchdowns over the seahawks last five games So he might pick up where he left off. That's it for us here on up and adams We will be here tomorrow, of course to recap that game. You know what else I think we're gonna get from him Good high fives. Oh a lot of practice high fives a lot of it. We need us out today. What am I doing? No, no high five footage from russell wilson. That's okay. We'll see you. Yeah Practicing as high fives. Well, I don't know about that. We'll see you tomorrow. Good luck
