 Aaron Rodgers still owns the Bears and I still want to hang over for my brilliant take a shot of her time The Broncos get a stupid penalty drinking game. Good morning a Sunday Incredible comebacks here and there all over the league two games a double header left to go tonight Carmen Batali Joining us to break it down We will have Darius Butler to do the same Omar Kelly some excellent reporters stopping by to give us the goods people were in The different stadiums across the league and with the teams in the locker room And we will have James Jones in a bit, but let's start with this credit to Green Bay Green Bay loves to do my life mantra under sell and over deliver I just want to kick things off today by saying I vow here and now to never again discuss the Packers after week one Good or bad There is no point and if I forget someone remind me next year when it's all woe is me in the Titanic Violence after four quarters of Green Bay action. I am not buying it. They looked great last night Was all about balance so much running James Jones might not like that as he joins us in a bit The defense played really well too and that matters. It cannot be just Rogers. It cannot be just the run game I mean, they're gonna have to stop Jimmy to be grew up alone now But he's back and they probably have some bout with each other in the playoffs This team needs to feel confident in the Rashawn Garry's and the Preston Smiths to step up and make plays and deny plays from happening I'm from Chicago. So I don't drive to say something great about the Bears Listen, the run game got a bit feisty there for a bit. They do have fight They are also I believe currently lobbying outside of the NFL League office on Park Avenue in New York City right now for some goal line technology But that's neither here nor there they're focused on the future Sunday all about comebacks cardinals over the Raiders I will be talking to Kyler Murray later today by the way, so stay tuned this week for that Byron Murphy Simmons The big plays there the Falcons nearly came back against the Rams the Jets with Flacco came back with the win over the Browns You love to see it I have to give love to the comeback Finns though because 21 point deficit in the fourth quarter Miami We see you we love you were the toast of the town down big to the Ravens They made a couple of huge defensive stops and the offense came on fire The takeaway to me is simple Tua is legit Mike McDaniel is legit and they together in fact some simple addition Are a perfect combo. His offense is creative He's playing into a strains which are of course accuracy and anticipation the RPOs constant motion keeping the defenders on their heels And opening up windows that he can thread the way they utilize the speed and McDaniel's prophet pressers Which are now appointment viewing in the NFL. I liked hearing this yesterday. This is rare After the first game I just wanted to see the guy enjoy playing football and understand that yes you want to make the perfect read and the perfect throw every time but Who cares? If you just get better at one thing a game, you're gonna be pretty good at the end of the season So let's let's just press forward McDaniel cares. He understands Tua. That's obvious and Enjoying it and winning and McDaniel's creativity leads to confidence and players buying into confidence leads to magic Look at this from Daniel Oya foosie. I hope I'm getting that name right Miami Dolphins beat writer for the Herald Before Jalen waddles game winning touchdown catch to a tongue below. I told the huddle. It's either us or them I felt that it got me going said waddle watch out for this team They were my number nine bold prediction for the season that they're gonna shut everybody up and prove everyone wrong Of course a huge huge game against the bill short week for the bills on week three So that's huge and we will have Darius Butler our dolphins enthusiast coming up with more of that in a big And quickly Trey Lance cart it off. We got to get to this early in yesterday's Niners game Listen, this was his third career start absolutely brutal Broke his ankle done for the season Jimmy Garoppolo comes in and he was solid He had one passing touchdown to Dwellie get a rushing touchdown good passer rating 27-7 went over Seattle And he had this big smile and who should be smiling the Niners brass because they look like geniuses simple takeaway But it matters everyone seemed to think it was a foregone conclusion that he would and should be traded They got so much grief for bringing Jimmy Garoppolo back into the building so much venom But they reworked his deal to keep him around and it might have saved their season Do you understand it might have saved their season by the way fire Kyle was trending With many a disgruntled fan and bitter pundit in the Bay Area criticizing Shannon for endangering Trey Lance This is ridiculous. Harbaugh didn't get blamed for Lamar getting hurt. Did he? Siriani wouldn't get blamed if Hertz got injured McDermott won't get blamed if Josh Allen goes down Collins were set in the fourth quarter last night that maybe Eberflue should get fields running a bit when they got effective in the run game Again, Screen Bay. Why do we need someone to blame really think about that as you're celebrating your wins for your team We were trying to rebuild to figure things out Shanahan utilized his quarterback skill set in a way that any good offensive minded coach would to say otherwise is honestly a Bit laughable fire Kyle you cannot like him You might not like him in a press conference and I know it's frustrating when players get hurt It is an unfortunate reality of the game. It doesn't mean it's somebody's fault. All right There's my soapbox for today. So now to break down Sunday night football Who better to bring in to break this down between the Bears and the Packers than a man who lived the thing who's not wearing a Green Bay t-shirt. What did you what did you lose the bet James Jones was going on? No, I didn't lose a bet man. You know a once a radar always a radar man You know, you can't never go wrong with the raiders color. So, you know, I woke up this morning swag out my raiders gear Yeah, so so were you at the game? Yeah, I was here. I do some stuff for the raiders. I do the silver and black show after after the raiders game So I was here, you know, I had my sad face on the whole time on the show man Cuz the raiders I mean come out on fire second half We don't know what's team came out of that locker room and ended up getting beat up by Kyle and Mary in those corners I know we'll get to that. Did you talk to Devonte? How's he doing? Today's doing fine man. He loves it out here in Vegas. Obviously. I mean he's not doing fine after yesterday's loss But I mean he's doing good man. He loves it. I mean, obviously he's playing with his college teammate I mean, he loves the organization. So, you know, we all seen him week one I wish you would have got involved a little bit more yesterday, but no, he's he's loving Vegas, right? And he's getting those checks from those Taco Bell commercials. I'm loving it. All right You know who else is doing okay the Packers. They seem pretty okay. Why did they hate week one James? You know what? I don't know. I'm still trying to figure that out, too, okay But um, you know, you hit it right on the nose ain't no needs overreact man week one And there's definitely no reason to overreact when you got ar 12 back there and Aaron Rogers You know that this guy is going to come back and make play after play for his football team You know, he's gonna have his football team ready for the playoffs when it's time to come So I'm not worried about the Packers. I actually I actually expected the week one slow start from the offense I thought they would start a little slow this week and even a little slow next week because you are still trying to find your identity You trying to find your way, right? Are we going to be in a lot of two backs? Are we going to be in a lot of three wide receivers? Are we going to run it a lot? We're going to put the ball in Aaron's hands. They're still trying to find their way So my main focus was the defense. We need the defense to step up these first five weeks We need the defense to step up and play like they played against the Bears Even get a little bit more tighter on that run defense to be able to help these Offends in the first five weeks so Aaron and them can get it going. They run defense is spotty down the stretch You're not wrong. But if we talk about this offense, Amy was all Aaron Jones. It was all AJ Dillon We heard Collinsworth talk about how Rogers is checking with some of these runs and taking what the defense is giving him Is that sustainable? I want to say yes, but I think it's going to come games to where you're going to play some teams like the Tampa Bay Buccaneers You might play the Buffalo Bills. You may play some teams that can that can score the ball at a high level Yes, you want to stay on schedule. You want to be able to run the ball You want to be able to stay balanced. I mean the two best players, you know on that offense Besides Aaron Rogers is the running backs is AJ Dillon and Aaron Jones So I'm with them when they say we have to find ways to get these young fellas the rocks as they give us the best chance To win but you're gonna have to put that ball in Aaron Rogers hands Plenty of times during this season to go out here and win some ball games and we're gonna need them receivers to make Place so we're gonna see as this season goes goes along is is is running the ball or taking the ball out of Aaron's Rogers hand sustainable I wonder it's not even sustainable But would Rogers be content doing that all year long even if he didn't have to throw Some ride receivers stepped up Sammy Watkins made a couple of nice play a few that Rogers is very complimentary about in his post game press conference But you know the Packers inside and out You know Aaron Rogers just as well as anyone does Take me to the last four games of the season. Who is the go-to guy call your shot as far as a receiver Put me on the spot put me on the spot I am I am gonna go and I'm gonna say Sammy Watkins The reason why I say Sammy Watkins because Sammy Watkins as you could see from last night He still has juice right he still can run routes. He still can make plays after the catch I think it's a just a matter of time before him and Aaron Rogers chemistry gets on the right page You know and once that happens Sammy Watkins is going to see a lot of targets You know and when you see a lot of targets and have a lot of chances to make plays You're going to find yourself making some plays and I see coach LaFleur Finding ways. Hey, he's the number one read on this play finding ways to get him involved But I think Sammy is that guy he's explosive to run really good routes I think he'll be the number one receiver for the Packers when this thing is all said You called your shot. You could have gone a different way You know and Aaron did call him special That was the word he used last night and he was smiling about him. He was very complimentary about everybody But he's in his you know, he's in his whoo safes of his career But you could have said last four weeks. It's Odell, you know, you could have said it's a receiver That they don't I mean Odell keeps popping up at these NFL games. He clearly wants some phone calls Do you think they should be looking to bring in help or are they okay with what they've got? I mean, I think it's all about how healthy OBJ is. I mean you could you can't go wrong with it I mean you got a guy that that could still play at a high level We've seen him last year with the Rams coming there and really take that Rams offense to the next level once once he got Got in the rhythm So I wouldn't mind having an OBJ in there another guy that we know 100% could win his one-on-one matchups And if you could tote the ball like the like the Packers could run the ball It's gonna be one-on-ones on the outside and we know OBJ is a special talent So I'm not against it, but I'm not the Packers GM, but I'm definitely not I mean, yeah They've got to give him a call before Brady signs him because that's what he was doing Yesterday, I'm sure he was at the game to see his boy Landry As these fights broke out and that's what we have to get to because you know, obviously it was buck Same things always feisty between Evans and Lattimore. We've seen it all before but you had this tweet I mean Tom obviously frustrated. He threw his tablet on the sidelines I've seen Aaron Rodgers do the same thing and then you tweeted if Rodgers acted like Tom Brady on the sidelines He wouldn't be labeled as a competitor Now most people James would point to the amount of rings and say that's the difference and allow some license there Why do you think it's different? Well, number one, I mean shoot we we work on the tv side now But just because you have you know a little bit more success than somebody you able to act like that I don't I don't think that's cool for me. I just I just don't like how Tom Brady can can act like this But when other players act like this and I said Aaron Rodgers name, but when other players act like this They're selfish. They want the ball. They're not competitors. They're calling their team out They're showing their team up. But when Tom does this Oh, look at him getting his team fired up. Look at how competitive he is this and that and all that And I'm like man, come on man. If any other player acted like that it will be on every tv station like man What do you think about Aaron Rodgers? Man? He's a punk. He's that look how he called up. No Why can't he be a leader? Why can't he point at somebody and yell at somebody and be a leader and all that So for me, I was watching the game yesterday and I'm like man for me. This is this is showing your team up You know, I just felt like it was showing your team up and and I know Tom Brady's great I know Tom Brady got seven Super Bowls and all that But I just don't feel like you should show your teammates up like that and he does it consistently whenever things do not go Right whenever whenever he's frustrated. He does it consistently, you know, so, you know, it was a tweet just me speaking my mind You know, I love it. It's a strong take. It makes sense I think I wonder if it's the perception of people because Tom does that on the field But doesn't really say much at the podium and it's not like he's kind of buttoned up then But Aaron sort of lets it fly in his career And he and he has more to say off the field that might have something to do with it But I agree that just because you're more successful the more successful you are the more Accountable you should be as a role model for what it should look like when you're out there We'll see if suspensions are on their way for either Latimore, Mike Evans and everybody who got in that fight Bruce Arians out there Egg and Evans to get on and go get his boy. It was unbelievable Okay breakout games from young wide receivers. I love seeing it, right? We love these young wide receivers Who deserves your love this morning? You got the amant's rossane browns waddle gear wilson drake london Yeah For me for me, it's russia abatement and the reason why and I know the ravens gave up a big lead and credit to the Dolphins, but the first two weeks of this season russia abatement looks like the bona fide number one Wide receiver over there for the baltimore ravens and he's looking like a number one wide receiver in the national football league I mean, he's catching bombs. He's catching short passes taking him to the crib I mean the dude looks like a stud and I I was able to go to training camp and see him like work and train and all that And he has everything you want a number one receiver to have him and lemar jackson is off on the right foot And he just looks like a baller man This is a kid that you know probably going to be a pro ball player this year if he continues to do what he's Going this was the hope the expectation duvernay has been such a beautiful bright spot for them as well I cannot believe the ravens did not win that game We'll get to that with omark heli as you break it down, but you were at uh, you were at this game last yesterday in vegas kyler Was magic right not many can do what he did and he said about the second half quote. I had to take over Here's the way the listen I'm starting to think that kyler murray is just that kid that doesn't need to study for the test I'm starting to think Kyler is sort of built that way. How much leeway in space Do you think he needs and how much do you balance play calling and coaching and letting him freestyle it? Well, he is that type talent and i'm not even going to lie k the first seven quarters of this season You know our first six quarters of this season I was watching I watched the first four to camp city chasing in the first two Of the raiders game and i'm like, I don't know why they gave kyler murray this money Kyler murray does not look good the cardinals do not look good They might finish last in the nfl Record wise and then the second half came and i'm like, oh my goodness This is why they gave kyler murray all this money because he is this type talent I mean he put the team on his back I mean he stood in the pocket made the throws He got outside the pocket with his legs made special plays with his legs I mean the two-point conversion throw was probably I mean, I know it's early in the season But it's the best throw of the year easy I mean, it was a strike to aj green standing up in the pocket the only place the ball should go But yes in that second half the the raiders had no idea how to stop kyler murray I mean sometimes they try to rush free Sometimes they try to bring pressure and kyler was looking at him like there's nothing you could do right now I'm in a zone y'all try to come give me but it's over for y'all and that's just the way you made it look I know but so what do you do if you're cliff because this isn't against cliff cliff draws up some great stuff But it's becoming clear to me That kyler's better when he goes. Hey aj green move over there when he's dictating what's going on there So if you're cliff, what do you do? Well, I remember I remember when air rogers was was was was coming coming in his own right He was coming in his own and coach mike walked in a team meeting and he said The football is 12 right Which means I I'll let him know to play but he's going to get you in anything and everything that he wants to get you into This is his offense. The ball is in his hands, right? So for me, I think cliff needs to do that. Hey the ball is in number one's hands, right? This is his team, right? Hey, I'll guide you guys But he is going to make sure he directs you guys and gets you guys in the right things If he wants to get into something if he wants to speed this thing up and go no huddle and start calling it on his own The ball is in his hands because if you watch that game on saturday when they spin it up and the ball was in kyler's hands Special things happen and they left out of los vegas with a big time win So if I'm him I'm coming in that team meeting this morning and say hey fellas, you know I mean I'm gonna direct this practice in these games that the ball is in kyler's excellent point Let's get that going in the first quarter, please and that would make me happy and a little less stressed out Of course making your job a little harder there, but the raiders could easily turn things around James jones, we appreciate you insights all over the place. Thank you. We'll have you on hopefully soon And welcome to the fan duo family by the way, james jones You know, it was a not long ago that you and I were hitching a ride in the back of erin rogers rogers golf cart They're in training camp for nfl network You're right. We was we was living our best life. We still live in our best life And congrats on the job with the raiders. I didn't even know that so you're a busy guy We appreciate you making the time and we're just getting started. Darius butler is here. He's got previews This man is in the booth looking at tape crunching stuff But I don't even know what he's doing all 22.com and he that's not a real has we're a website I just made that up but he'll hit us up on the eagles and the vikings, of course And we'll talk to karman vatali who joined us from fox sports. Yeah She was at lambo last night. She's probably in her hotel room. Did you not get cheese curds? Can someone at the packers rectify this situation? The horror we'll be back. Darius butler celebrates the dolphins next We've had some awesome stars on the program But one of my favorite things is that we are bringing in reporters who are there who've got their feet on the ground They're in the locker rooms after yesterday's incredible game. And here's one of my absolute favorites I don't know why I have this legal pad. She covered the buccaneers for six years before joining fox sports Where she now covers the entire nfc north karman vatali. How are you? I am fantastic. Although maybe a little sleep deprived, but that's okay. Tell me about last night Was it epic? Uh, it was as a kid from chicago and much like yourself You know the rivalry that I grew up watching and it I have hold a reverence around it. I think so walking out to lambo field I'd always wanted to go to a bear's packers game before never been to once my first live game for fox sports was My assignment was to cover this game and yeah, it was a moment k and I freaking loved it I love that you were there. I followed it along on twitter as everybody should follow karman Let's talk about the packer side. It was running And it was defense. Is this the identity of the packers offense moving forward? I asked james jones if it was sustainable or if erin rogers has it in him to be content with that sort of play Yeah, I mean, I think that this is I actually asked erin about it in the post game press conference because I wanted to know If this was kind of a way for them to take the pressure off of these young receivers They don't really know what they have in this receiver for yet Uh, he really it's just said, you know after last week in minnesota where they abandoned the run Maybe a little bit too early. This was really about getting the ball to 28 and 33 And that's exactly what the packers wanted to do The bears knew that this is what the packers wanted to do and yet they still went off for a 203 yard rushing performance From the packers and again, like it's just it's so hard to defend when you have this tandem of backs That you can go to either one I even asked erin jones about the split and if he knew going in that he was going to be featured a little bit More after only getting five touches the last game in minnesota He said I never really know how this is going to shake out But we both AJ Dillon and erin jones are so so unselfish and it's so cool to see that And so whoever kind of catches fire for them Which I think aided in why chicago wasn't able to stop them because you may know that they're going to run the ball But you know who they're going to run the ball with Um, so it was very interesting. You saw a lot more, you know multiple tight end sets kind of getting these guys Uh comfortable and making sure the whole blocking scheme We heard erin jones to talk about just not only the offensive line But you got a couple key blocks from the tight ends even allen lasard his first game back He's throwing his body around and he's blocking for these guys So it was it was just an overall really good performance I think you're going to see that from green bay for the time being because again It's so effective as it is as they kind of get these receivers a little bit more comfortable Are the receivers getting more comfortable at some point do they open it up? I'm sure having AJ Dillon and uh and erin jones sort of help sets up set up a good pass game So they should yeah, I mean that's the thing is Yeah, the run game the run game unlocks, you know, so many things for this offense just in general But then I I wanted to specifically talk about Guys like romeo dobs and and christian watson I saw a lot more kind of short quick passes those high completion rate throws from erin rogers And you we saw it on I think the pivotal part of the game was packers got into a second and 28 situation in the second quarter After taking a penalty in a sack and romeo dobs takes this little screen pass and he goes 20 yards with it And that does wonders for these guys confidence Uh, and then you know the packers end up scoring on that drive they go up 17 7 and they kind of never look back from there So to be that catalyst, uh, it looks like you know, you're you're Sparingly getting these guys into these situations where they're going to be successful And then that's building up their confidence and I I anticipate that Being something that goes on moving forward Because the run game unlocks so many things in this offense you can kind of sprinkle it in As you want, uh, throughout the rest of the season now, I heard no cheese curds in the lambo press box Let's get to the nitty gritty here. I mean listen, hey wildest dreams. Would they not have cheese curds? I was looking forward to this because I was for the first time at lambo I went in 2017 and I saw the cheese curds and I saw the light of course And then I went back to the nfc championship game I know and it wasn't there, but it was kovitz. I was like, okay, I get it But I was promised this time around I was promised cheese curds and I did not get them So I I have there was a blt dip in chip situation, which is very very midwest very midwest, but it wasn't it wasn't the same Don't they know your karma battalion fox sports like the way the whole world views the packers organization is through your eyes and your stomach Like don't we understand no cheese curds no cheese curds no nice things to say Aaron rogers very complimentary at the podium We've got a big one tonight with the vikings looking forward to that and I understand you're going to tampa to see that packers bucks game Can I tell you something? Here's something. I don't know what you're what you're cooking up down there, but it's going to be hot Very hot and I Think that erin rogers does not like to play in the heat And I think erin rogers kryptonite is playing in florida and i'm just going to give you that nugget And i'm i'm not trying to plant a seed. I'm not kidding. Go look at the history carmen and everyone out there erin rogers Take it back to when he took on the saints week one. Where did they play? They played in florida they played in florida and he was horrendous I'm just saying look at and I don't know erin erin don't comment me for like giving out your secret your kryptonite But him in florida and him in the heat. No bueno. All right. She covers the nfc north for fox sports Thank you carmen vitale as he moved it along here. Listen. I leave new york I was moved this weekend. I didn't move myself, of course If someone will help me move we'll get to that at some point on the show But for the first time in six years the giants are two and oh they look great and so for reaction to this Giants win over the panthers We bring in new york dine supportive for the athletic dan duggan dan six to six at halftime The giants were getting booze from the crowd. I understand as they went into the locker room. How do they turn it around? Well, I mean they didn't really turn it around offensively They did enough to you know to get through it They had one good drive in the third quarter and then two 50 plus yard field goes from gran cano But it was the defense that's been the story of the season It was definitely the story of the game and especially the way they closed that out wink martin dale He's known for sending pressure from everywhere. He has absolutely lived up to that reputation And another pivotal spot third down late in the game yesterday He sends a safety julien love on the blitz. He gets home and that was the difference I mean he has just done an unbelievable job, especially with some of the personnel deficiencies. This roster still has now It's just incredible and credit to dable credit to everyone last week I had every week we have eric weddle on and I wasn't asking him about the giants But he kept finding a way to bring up wink martin dale and how much affection and respect he has for him Now you wrote after the game. This was another masterpiece quote another masterpiece orchestrated by wink martin dale. What's working there? Everything to put it bluntly But now it's a point you make with weddle That's how the giants players have responded him, you know, it's every new coaching staff comes in It's always a honeymoon period But it feels different with him because there's a belief he's instilling in him. He's been so aggressive He's trusting them to make plays they make a mistake. It's no big deal. They just move on and I think that's everything That gets contagious, you know, when the game is on the line, they're not on their heels They want to go make a play and again, this isn't a great roster So the fact that they're two and o speaks a lot to the coaching They're putting these guys in the best possible position and cred to the guys and stepping up making the plays But I think wink just brings a certain swagger when we started in three years in baltimore He has the look he has I mean he has that that type of attitude you want the defensive coordinator And the guys are definitely feeding off of it You can't be named wink unless you have some swagger and it builds confidence back-to-back wins big one against Undefeated cooper rush next monday night to end week three. Thank you so much Dan dubbing covering the new york giants for the athletic as we switch to Someone who I followed for the longest time one of my favorite twitter followers because it keeps it absolutely real 15 years at the south florida sun sentinels the dolphins lead beat writer and columnist and now we get to congratulate Omar kelly with a new gig a new way of life I'm sure as a host and producer for iam athlete. How are you omer and congratulations? Thank you. I appreciate that. Are you loving it? We had brand of marshal just on on friday for a long time. He crushed it Yeah, I think we're gonna do so a lot of work together with each other. Um, it absolutely it's uh It's a challenge and it's new media and just like what you're doing and and what you're you're involved with It's it's a new stratosphere and hopefully we we create trends. I'm so happy for you You know new new world new dolphins. It looks like record setting day for tua So let's just start there because you defend him. I defend him. I love he had a great game How can you have anything wrong to say about 400 yards and six touchdowns or a 21 point comeback win over the ravens Will this finally alter the way that people look at tanga by loa If you just recall who he was at alabama, um, you'll know that he's got that it intangible Now we haven't seen a new nana fell for a number of reasons I I would blame the hip injury that he had to come back from But really he's a player who has shown you that he's a winner He's shown you that he went the highest level does he have the the elite justin herbert esk arm? No, but he has a what what can be seen as a 16 and 8 record as an nfl starter and that's pretty impressive when you win That much in terms of putting your team in position and the opportunity to win And now the biggest criticism was that he can't do come from behind rallies And well now you're looking at him and you just watch him do a 21 point come from behind rally against the team That I call the debo for the dolphins because the ravens have annually bullied them But now two as one two straight Yeah, and and mike mc daniel comes in he wasn't there last year for this matchup, of course But how is he able to make it work so well so fast? Uh, he's known and respected as an offensive mastermind and a genius To me the biggest thing that he was going to do is is sort of infuse the running game and add it to the offense But right now you're seeing them become a team where they've got dynamic speed And at all three positions, it's just not jail and waddle and tyrie kill It's also mike is sicky. Then you got the running backs chase edmunds and raheem moster There's speed all over the field. So they're a big play waiting to happen And that's why you saw to a throw to six touchdown passes That's why you saw the offense rally from behind and I think a lot of that comes to down to mike mc daniel Just scheming things up and making it difficult for opposing defensive coordinators They're such a good fit. And then if I look at, you know, what a confidence builder for this dolphin squad And on the other side, what a punch in the gut for a ravens team that all they can do this morning is say Well, we had lemar jackson who is equally incredible And what's the level of concern now for a team that can't win when lemar jackson is putting out an mvp type performance I think if you're the ravens, you've got to address your secondary You got to look at what what some of these issues are what led to some of these breakdowns Um, lemar jackson can't play any better than he played last week And I I don't think that that I don't think that's a surprise to anybody that he did that Lamar is an incredible tremendous athlete and a dynamic player Probably one of the top 10 players in the in the nfl right now You've got to get your defense to show up and match that and right now that if you just follow What the Miami Dolphins did to them the issue has got to be breakdowns on the secondary Omar elser now I love that you're covering the entire nfl I can ask you anything my bangles Can you give me you know some positivity their offer? It's my team as you know two winnable games He's running around for his life out there new o-line. I'm pissed. They didn't pay for turan arm set I'm gonna go ahead and say it. I know they got four new guys Turan arm set is that dude back up the brink truck form and maybe this isn't the situation How concerned should I be? Uh, I I think you shouldn't be concerned because what joe flack. I mean, I'm sorry what what what, um, Joe borough showed was that he can rally his team from behind now Take care of business against the Steelers. They didn't take care of business against Dallas But keep in mind that the Steelers are formidable opponent. That's a divisional game You know, you could throw out all all of the records and and and the talent in the division game like that And then Dallas really showed us something If you you know the rush They really showed us they're not they're not they're not just waiting on Dak Prescott They're going to go out there and they're going to win games there. They're a complete team I think they they have one of the better rosters in the NFL even though people want to you know, take a poop on Jerry Jones and family value But listen Dallas showed us that they're here to stay and they're going to stay afloat until that while Dak is out now Joe borough You know, he's going to put you in position to win I think it has to you have to lean on the running game a little bit more and the offensive line has to deliver A little bit more than they've done. I agree. It's literally the offensive What do you expect him to do? How heroic can he be if you don't have any support in the run game or protection? Omar, we appreciate I like that face he made about Joe. You're like That was my face all yesterday. Oh, and it was his face as well He needs some help The one thing the early games have shown is that he is an elite quarterback and I had my doubts even after the All right, well, he convinced you never had your doubts about Tua and that's why we love having you Thank you so much a host and producer for I am athlete. Oh, he left too soon. Omar Kelly Hopefully he'll return on our show and congratulations. Honestly, one of my favorite reads must read stuff from Omar on twitter Up next. How about this guy? How about Darius Butler? Hey, how do you like those dolphins smile if you do? Oh, yeah, we'll be back to break it down next right here on up and Adams two games tonight left to go There goes my blood pressure Action here he is Darius Butler Marissa McBride crushed it on that piece that music video coming in and makes Darius smile every year nine-year bed Yeah, we love having you on the show I love when we have something nice to talk about off the off the start here dolphins, of course You pick them to win the a of c east. They look like a team that can contend with the bills who they take on next week What do you see in this game? Man, obviously Tua if you got to start there, you know, Mike McDaniel. He was a hot hire this off season Made the huge trade huge splash bringing Tyree Hill over who you know, I call like the Steph Curry the NFL He's just so different. He changes the entire field for any quarterback But Tua man to go out there and put 469 up six tutties We haven't had I don't even think marino did that we've been waiting for a quarterback a dynamic quarterback down here's a Dolphin for years So we're excited down here was an amazing comeback started off ugly Tua first half interceptions and then bounce back coming back From 21 down in the fourth quarter two receivers both over 150 yards to touchdown. I think the first time that's happened We are excited man off to a two and i'll start and then we got the buffalo bills Coming up next. I'm still feeling good about my afc championship. Are you gonna pick? Are you gonna pick the dolphins in this one? Oh, yeah, absolutely. You know, I got to I can't back down now. Okay I'm a little nervous, but is there is there any weakness in their game? Because it's a perfect combination McDaniel and tyreek and tua and everything's clicking anything I should be looking out for You know opposite of what was going on the sensey that the investments at least early on have been paying off You know in that offensive line. That was their biggest weakness. I thought uh last year You know, you saw a lot of quick game and very elementary Offensive scheme last year, but now this year the ball's coming out quick You know, we got a decent running game and like those weapons and old speed that speed. Uh, it's just Awesome, and then we're not even that full strength yet on defense or brian byron jones not been back out there yet Defense actually gave up a ton of points, you know a ton of past yards till the mark jackson Who's one of the most special players? Um in the league, but you know defense is definitely near strength and now the offense is becoming a strength as well So no, okay. I can't find a weakness. There there are no weaknesses. My mommy dolphins. Okay. I'm not even looking at I found I found one derrius You I was grinding tape and I got a show I need to get your I mean I did some film study. This is a weakness. This this is my kasaki I think he's trying to call it a gritty. I'd like to know what your thoughts are on this Hey, I'm just glad to see my kasaki back in his own rubbers about him not even being on the team He's obviously excited to be a part of the team. I mean I've I've given him a couple of attempts at the gritty that was kind of close to what I was doing That might be you know what kasaki should just go with that run with it and just call it something else Because that's definitely not the gritty Man, it looks so much better. I love it. It looks so much better in my room in front of the mirror So here's the thing that you're here's the problem Like you can't admit that you practiced Because the end product was so terrible and now you can't if you're gonna do that say, oh, I just that wasn't the gritty That was my own spin But then I thought that's he's just taking coaching because mike mc daniel was at that luau furtua In the off right when he got you know, right when he got the gig and he was dancing up on that stage and it did not look good See all that that's that's the bad. I focus on the positive and the best celebration in football right now Is that waddle and we got to see it late in the game with jaylon waddle I'm coming off his best performance. I love that that that uh that celebration So we'll just stick with that one speaking of being positive We're gonna try to be positive about the broncos. Hey, they got a win They squeaked out a win so much preseason. I have your face says it all it was the texans How worried should we be about rustle wilson and then just the sloppiness of the play calling and all the coaching is just bad news Yeah, I mean the the the stats were ugly the play was ugly and if you know rustle wilson's been a league, you know 10 11 years Um, it's just surprising to see that these first couple weeks Obviously a lot of nerves out of emotions with the first game monday night football Bennett is our old home stadium But uh to go in this week against the texans who you know our tough team they played the coach tough last week as well But it was ugly. Like you said, they found a way to win But nathaniel hack it a first time head coach and then you drop rust in on this team And so many people just expected them to hit the ground running But you got a young group of receivers who've kind of struggled to stay healthy, you know Judy got banged up again Sutton played well, but they got to figure it out and they got to figure it out quick Russ got sacked, you know three times that was one of the issues of and why he ended up leaving seattle And I think uh, you know, some of those hits and some of those sacks are on him as well So, uh, he's been talking about letting rust cook. He obviously got the money Um, he got to step up and show up. That's from the head coach That's from the quarterback and uh, this defense on the flip side if you're looking for positives, they're playing well They haven't even given up what 20 points yet. This is back to back games. They played pretty good ball No touchdowns yesterday. So, um Yeah, they really do and I called a big game from courtland side and he was barely missed for a couple of big plays But I mean halfway through the game. I'm sorry halfway through the third quarter Wilson was six for 20 for under 100 yards the run game though Darius was averaging over seven yards per carry The run game was working and they should run more if you really go look at it Everyone wants to say oh, wilson's a hero let rust cook Russell wilson's best teams are balanced a lot of march on lynch a lot of run game a lot of defense And sometimes i'm just thinking why are we building everything around rustle and not building it around javante? Look, let him run let let javante run instead of let rust cook and we'll see what the result might be Uh, you mentioned the colts so the colts there oh and one and one They got blown up by the jags. Trevor Lawrence looked awesome. Are we hitting the panic button on matt ryan? Yes, we're hitting the panic button hitting it smashing it or matt ryan On the entire team, you know, this is bigger than the quarterback, you know, you look at trevor laurence. He looked great But unfortunately the only time i can remember him looking great on tape is against us Same thing last year, you know, we did a must win game went down to jacksonville. He was dialed in and then This pass game. Uh, he was locked in again. What is he 25 for 30 two touchdowns? No picks I mean he looked like a 10-year pro out there Against our defense and then offensively for us Zero points, you know, are you kidding me? Obviously, we don't have the weapons at why receiver our top two guys were out But nahi him highs. He wasn't targeted enough, you know, jonathan taylor We couldn't really stand a position where we can just ride him To a victor and then matt ryan, he didn't look good You know, it's an ugly interception a lot of people pointed fingers and blamed wintz for a lot of our issues last year Wintz is in washington now. So there's no more excuses Uh for his team, uh starts with leadership and the head coach frank rike I'm sure he'll say the same thing and starts with him. He has to have his team I prepare to go out there and win and now counting last year It's just four weeks in a row where I feel like this team hasn't come out and uh and hit their expectation So we got to figure something out. We got to figure it out fast A lot of questions are a lot of people saying, you know, we should have had baker We should have brought baker and instead of matt ryan But it might start there with frank rike and he's the one that's going to be facing all of those questions I will say I love that you're given trevor lorenz love. We'll make time for you jacksonville throughout the week here on the show christian kirk everyone wanted a sneer at this big Paycheck that he got he's been incredible through two weeks of the season. Nobody's talking about a christian kirk Looking great for jacksonville early. Uh, okay, you were a teammate of brades. You got to get to this in new england Listen, we've seen some chipping this from him over the years. What happened in new orleans from your perspective Uh, you know, I didn't I didn't like it. I didn't like, you know, obviously it's going to be a lot of trash talk There's no love loss between those two um divisional rivals Um, and I think that's what it was. It was trash talk with latimore and maybe the sideline I think I saw ba on the sideline and he said something to brady I think we all know what he said brady That's kind of you know, shut the f up basically and brady got in his face and that's where everything just escalated You know for net through push mike evans came in from the sideline, which I thought, you know Was a cheap shot honestly So I thought maybe he should have been ejected but not latimore You never want to see it get that ugly on the football field You know, maybe some trash talk maybe a little pushing and shoving here But it definitely went uh too far and I think it started with the bucks and then after marshan left Tom brady went out in through his first touchdown of the of the day You know the pyramid over over pj. William So it obviously impacted the saints more than did the bucks, but it was ugly You don't want to see that you want to see a nice physical football game I'm sure that's what we'll get the next time those two teams meet Yeah, we'll have to see but it's funny brady just comes and he does stuff and then he just kind of walks away because nobody Will touch brady and everybody else is just doing his dirty work for him It's uh, it's pretty interesting to see we'll dig into brady a little bit more But we have two games left on the slate quick break here How do you stop dustin jefferson? So that'll be really really tough for you to have to answer after this break Apparently you have a blueprint that we'll get to and we'll be back after this on up and adams Oh buffalo is ready. We've got a monday night double header two great matchups to break them down and to answer the tough questions We bring back derrius butler bills titans derrick henry shredded the bills defense last year three touchdowns almost 150 yards How do they stop him? Well, you're gonna have to put some more you're gonna put one of those safeties in the box You know the bills have been loving on that too high split safety look, you know Help protect those corners a little bit But um this week, I think you can you can trust your corners on the outside with tannahill the quarterback and those receivers Stack that box and force tannahill uh to beat you that's got to be the recipe in the game plan For the bills that defensive line is awesome. Obviously you added von miller there, but they got people they rotate They stay fresh they get after the quarterback. So that's the game plan. You got to stop King henry back there first and foremost and obviously do your thing and get the ball on offense And josh allen had a lot of success in the matchup from a numbers perspective He hasn't won against them in a long time if ever I know the past two times that he's lost uh in this matchup Does the titans defense have what it takes to stop josh allen 2022 version Man, you know what it all starts the thing about stopping a great quarterback like josh allen is right now How he's playing is like getting after him and starts up front, you know and simmons, you know He's an absolute monster up front so he can he can potentially wreck this game But if if you don't get him if you don't get hits on josh allen early He can just pick you apart, you know, not only with his arms with his leg with his arm He's not throwing left-handed his arm with his legs as well. He's a big guy big quarterback in open space hard to tackle Maybe missing gave davis tonight, but stephane digs is uh, you know, he's he's a star in his league McKenzie's been getting involved crowded. They got guys all over the place is getting involved Haven't missed a beat with brian day ball leaving the building and uh allen. I mean that's special So I think they win uh tonight, but it's a big big spread. I think the titans and braves He has his guys ready to fight and uh the titans end up covering but the bill's winning night on money night football I love it the marquee match up and maybe the best game of the week. Honestly vikings eagles Every team in the league is asking the same question. How do you stop justin jefferson? So dairies, how do the eagles stop justin jefferson? Well, you know what every opportunity it starts with obviously finding them out the huddle I feel like teams defenses have struggled with that like oh 18s over there. Okay, cool He's going to treat him like a regular guy He's on a very short list when you're looking at special wide receivers in this league So you got to find 18 out of the huddle regardless of the coverage Philly fortunately for them They got some really good playmakers at the cornerback position with big play say big play slay James Bradbury and Maddox. So get hands on jefferson as much as possible drop a robber in there to help You know the opposite side take away that middle of the field and uh and then pray, you know, that's the Cubs to justin jefferson because kurt cousins. He doesn't get enough love in my opinion He can make all the throws and he obviously helps at 18 You know getting down the field making huge plays but get your hands on him as much as possible But number one it starts with finding him out of the huddle and adjust your coverages To stop them. It sounds simple, but obviously it's difficult to do Yeah, find him out of the huddle and pray sounds good But you know what the vikings defense might have to do some praying of their own because they've got An alpha dog and marking from words a wide receiver and a g brown who did all sorts of crazy stuff to the lions last week How does the vikings even put defense prevent that from happening? Yeah, tone-setters and now the vikings corners They aren't as good as the eagles corners in my opinion. Um, you know early on it got some zadaria smith Was a huge signing for them. So he'll be getting pressure But jaylen hurts is special at that quarterback position So they're gonna have to allocate a couple guys to stop a j brown And then that's gonna leave the door open for divante smith and dallas garter to potentially have our big games Because those are two very good weapons as well. We know who smith is coming in. He had a good rookie season I think he'll pick up and tonight Maybe on my parlayer that I put together but i'm going big on divante smith to have a big game tonight on money night football But i'm excited about this game. This is the game that I had circle Is my most exciting game of the week. I expected to come down to like a last drive Kick as time expires like a game tonight Do you have like a crystal ball? How are you like are you taking iowasca with erin rogers to see the future? How are you doing this? No, not yet, you know, not yet, but I I couldn't be completely wrong who knows but i'm gonna be locked in excited watching this game regardless I love it. Thank you so much for your time. We will talk to you. Of course next week I know you're breaking down film and all sorts of stuff and you were too nice to gaseke and I didn't like it I need you to bring a little I need you to feel a little more mean for me But we'll talk to you in a bit and then great show today We've got more to come rise and shine eagles nation philadelphia eagles game day bring on the vikings Darius baller saying it'll be the best game of the week. I don't disagree. We'll be back with who I think will win I probably won't say who's gonna win. Let's be honest Bill's host of titans in their home opener. We've got vikings and eagles as well But let's bring in conrad company my super producer here. There was some crazy bet everyone was talking about What do I need to know? Uh 25 game parley. Okay. It's basically like having an educated lottery ticket Okay, I've I've been in this space a long time. I have never ever seen anything like this So 25 game parley basically all 25 games have to hit and he put seven dollars down to win a million a million The the thing about this k is is that you can get out of the bet early. He cashed out 250,000 And I can't even hear you. He took he took 250,000 home. I can't hear you. It was a big win I love you too. I love you too Conrad
