PMS 2.0 1433 - OVERREACTION MONDAY, NFL Week 7 Recap, MNF Doubleheader Preview, Adam Schefter, Dan Orlovsky, Darius Butler, & AJ Hawk

19:17Pat McAfee:CMC back to his MVP form. Dee Butch has a chance he wins another one.

19:20Adam Schefter:Absolutely. He's back to form. It was crazy because we had huge question marks about him health-wise coming into the year. But from week one, they've been giving him his fair share of touches. So getting on the ground, getting in the air. He talked about George Kittle. He's kind of like the gronk now. Like he's the best blocking tight end when it comes to it. and then he can also be a threat in the pass game as well. Wasn't last night. Said he kind of used his game to get back in shape. But I think the 49ers and CMC, he'll carry them a long way. That defense now kind of patching him up a little bit.

19:50Adam Schefter:But his offense has been cooking.

19:51Pat McAfee:What's McCorkle Jones' record out there? Mac Jones, I believe, is 4-1 right now. He's only lost coming to Tampa in Tampa. I know. I know. We don't need to do it right now. No, no. Don't do it. But it's very evident. We're going to do it to Schefter, though. Yeah, right. In about five minutes, we are going to do that to Schefter. Just because since day one, I think we all on this particular program are like, I think it's because how close we were to the Mac Jones number three overall story. We were very close to that entire thing. Like pretty big. In the room where it happened. Bingo. We were pretty in the story there.

20:24Pat McAfee:So I think just the way that all panned out and then how his career goes and then him ending up back there with the same exact people in charge, same exact coach, with everything we had been hearing that was being said and acted like, and then bang, we're going Trey Lance out of nowhere. It's like you always have that what if in there. Always cooking. What if, what if, what if. And now Shanahan and Lynch are getting an opportunity to kind of live their what if, and they're having a lot of success. $200 million to another quarterback. I get it, and we love Brock.

20:50Adam Schefter:I'm still on the island. I'm over on the island. I'm still on the Brock Purdy. Me too. Hey, I love Brock Purdy. I'm looking for a Jetsky. But the conversation is that if he comes back and doesn't play well, the conversation is there. Okay, we got to go back to Mac. Have to.

21:03Pat McAfee:And Kyle Shanahan is a guy that will pick Mr. Irrelevant over a number three overall pick. I mean, it's literally already done. Yeah, proof to the put. Now, Mr. Irrelevant was a very, very, very good football player. Still is a very, very good football player. But boy, first love, Matt Jones. First round talent. Starts doing all this. Damn, we're nowhere near. We're close. Let's go to the third one, please. Let's get to the third one. L.A. lights up. Oh, I'm sorry. We got another. I'm sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry, jeez. Yeah, I was – Cannot get past this. Yeah, you could. Oh, here we go. I see them every week, okay?

21:40Pat McAfee:I see them with my actual eyes whenever we're down there on the field and these boys are getting after it. Then we're obviously watching them on TV as they're playing against the Minions. And I would like to say the grew post that the Indianapolis Colts did was brilliant. I think that was very good social media. They should be incredibly proud of that particular play, especially after a big-time win. Chargers are known for having great uniforms. I think these uniforms should get thrown out. Yeah, agreed. Forever. I mean, it's hurt us. Colts fans, we're forced to watch you guys wear this shit, okay?

22:08Pat McAfee:I love the Chargers. I love the Chargers' creativity. I like the Chargers' mindset. I like everything about them, actually, except for these jerseys. This was disgusting to wear against us. We had to look at this. Colts fans had to watch this. We had to watch these yellow things. Now, on that note, it was pretty good vibes while we were watching. Sure, sure. Great vibes. Is this Indianapolis Colts team? Easy vibes. Everybody's eating. Everybody's eating. Danny Dimes could be in the MVP conversation. Jonathan Taylor's going to score three touchdowns a game. He's on pace to maybe have 4 ,000 touchdowns.

22:38Pat McAfee:They're talking about everything he's on pace for. The amount of tuds he has combined like four other running backs that are all big-name running backs, and his dance is sick. So I'm talking about when you talk about a branding, when you talk about performance-wise, the Colts are it. The only thing that's bad is people aren't going to want to show these highlights because these damn Chargers uniforms are all over them. Now, I still believe in the Chargers. I still like Justin Herbert. He went for 421. Who did he throw the ball to? Doreen, O 'Ree, Gadsden. Exactly. The second. Yeah, so we believe in Justin Herbert and the Chargers.

23:15Pat McAfee:We are still fans of that. But this Colts team is kind of doing what Vandy was doing to people last year. So nobody really thinks the Colts are really fucking good. So whenever the Colts beat your team, the fans have full panic, full meltdown or whatever. You know, like I think a lot of people out on the Chargers because they lose to the Colts this way. It's like, hey, the Colts are a very – we're a wagon. Two MVP candidates leading in on the offensive side. And that man, JT, and the quarterback, Danny Dimes. It must be a great time to be alive to be these boys. And all they keep saying is all the right things, D, but we haven't done anything still early in the season.

23:47Pat McAfee:We've got to keep going forward. They're a mature bunch that hasn't really been on the stage that much.

23:51Adam Schefter:I love that. And the fact that everybody, you know, a bunch of the pundits and talking heads still aren't really giving them that credit. it's still going to be, I think, probably the Chiefs is going to be the conversation now with how they're playing, but they're rolling. And you kind of, as a coach, it's easy to motivate the squad. You know, you don't have to deal with as much rat poison. But these boys keep playing like this. This train, people are going to keep jumping on this train. Danny Dimes, we talked about it. He's just finding guys. The offensive line, it always starts in the trenches.

24:15Adam Schefter:They've been protecting them. He's been dissecting defenses. And then Jonathan Taylor, we know all of the great running backs that have come through this organization. He has a chance to be the very best one when it's all said and done. already up to 12 touchdowns. You mentioned earlier, third game already this season with three touchdowns leading the league and rushing, leading the league and rushing yards as well. Like, he is a dominant force. So, yeah, we got two legit MVP candidates on the offensive side of the ball.

24:39Pat McAfee:JT, valuable running back. He's a valuable running back. Scores so many touchdowns for us. Yeah, might be the most valuable player. Yeah, he might be. He might be the most valuable player. The most in the entire league. And then Danny Dimes going crazy. Here's some stats about this Indianapolis Colts offense, juggernaut led by Shane Steichen here. Most points per drive in a season, Colts 3.5. Patriots in 2007, 3.2. No big deal. They were great, right? Wow. Yeah, very, very good. Highest drive score rate in a season, Colts in 2025, 63%. 2018 Chiefs, ever heard of them? 53%. Jesus. Fewest punts per drive in a season, Colts 19 % of the time.

25:14Pat McAfee:We're punting with Rigoberto Sanchez, who's a great punter, by the way. Just would like that to be known. And an incredible holder, which was on display this weekend with people not being great at holding. 2018 Rams, 24%. Were they good? Yeah, I think so. Seven games in, but still, that is ridiculous. Company keeps says, Hembo, thank you, Hembo. With the little tagline at the bottom. Yeah. That's crazy. We didn't punt for like three weeks or whatever. It's like Dimes knows exactly what to do in every single play. It knows exactly like even where to run. And then if it doesn't work out, Jonathan Taylor's vision is he'll cut that shit.

25:43Pat McAfee:I mean, he's going obtuse angle. Yeah. And then it's wide ass open over there, too, because our offensive line has been doing incredible jobs. So it's fun to watch. They're not the only ones. There's a couple more MVPs that we saw from winning teams this weekend. How about over there in London, Don, there are Matty Stafford. Now, this guy's special, special. And obviously, Devontae Adams goes bananas, and Matthew Stafford's still doing that Matthew Stafford shit. Now, he needs not to wear cleats over there on the Baltimore Orioles pitching mound. Yeah, good point. Even though that might be the best pitch that that mound has seen in a while.

26:14Pat McAfee:He burned it. They go over to L.A. and absolutely crush. Devontae Adams has to be so happy about the decision to go to the Los Angeles Rams. and this is all without Puka Nakua. So, obviously, we all miss Puka. We're all pulling for Puka. And this Los Angeles Rams team with Sean McVay at the helm is incredibly disgusting all the time. And Stafford looks like he's 32 years old, D-Bud. He looks like he's 31 right now with all the throws and everything he's doing.

26:41Adam Schefter:I know you said don't do it, the cleats on the mound and all that, but whatever you did this week, do it whenever. Like the teams, I'm sure we talk about it as a copycat league. When do they go over to London? Saturday. Yeah, so the latest arrival there ever, and they just showed up and absolutely dominated. All these passing touchdowns in the red area, I'm sure a bunch of people that had Kyron Williams possibly on the touchdown ticket were pissed off, but great job by him. Five touchdowns, and Devontae Adams, three touchdowns. Unbelievable performance out there in London time.

27:08Pat McAfee:And the last winning QB that we're thinking may be MVP conversation is the guy, Patrick Mahomes. Hey, I don't want to say this because it sounds disrespectful. uh patch bahomes uh the greatest at football again yeah and the only reason why i'm saying that is because he's playing like he was playing a couple years ago so their offense kind of transitioned into a different offense whether it was the personnel that they had remember there was a time where they didn't have anybody catch the ball so they had to go on the run game they had to do defense they had to be very conservative there was a time where he was wide open throwing it all over the place running all over the place and they've had success both ways feels like we're back to showtime patch bombs feels like it's time he'll put the team on his back if he has to but we're throwing a ball over the place we're no looking we're doing absurd shit on a regular basis and uh we it'll be a headline here in about a second everybody knows what's going on with the chiefs right now as soon as anybody starts seeing some of these highlights where she rice is back how you doing keep moving let's go and force feed him a couple touchdowns make sure he feels welcome we got worthy as well oh yeah and we got travis oh yeah and we got and we got and we got and we We got, oh, yeah, and we got Patrick Mahomes from a couple years ago when he was putting the team on his damn back as opposed to the conservative offense, Patrick Mahomes, that he had to be.

28:22Pat McAfee:Once again, I don't want to say that he was doing anything by choice. Had to do it to win it. This is exciting. This is electrifying. And this is why as soon as the sportsbook saw a glimpse of it, there was like one game three weeks ago where Patrick Mahomes started moving. They're like, yep, yep, he's the favorite. Let's go ahead and put him right back up there with what they're going to do. That AFC West is tough. There's the odds. Obviously, we didn't put Baker on today's list of MVPs that we saw over the weekend because he plays tonight. So let's go ahead and get excited about that. Same with Jared Goff.

28:49Pat McAfee:So we apologize for not doing that. And yeah, I think there's a lot of great football right now with no standalones for who the MVP is. Now, let's go to the third headline, shall we? LA lights up London. To your point, Darius, this is another international game, another weekend, a 9.30 Sunday Eastern time game to wake up to, have a little coffee, hang out with baby girl, watch her eat some eggs. And then, oh yeah, we got football playing. That's amazing news. Who did I pick whenever we were doing the picks? Oh, the Jacksonville Jaguars. Because Liam Cohen had a lot of time in L.A. He'll know what they're doing.

29:23Pat McAfee:That's good. And this Jaguars team is a good team. They're good. In L.A., they're not going over until Saturday. They think this is a joke. Stupid. Which you didn't remember what we didn't think about. And I think I mentioned it on Friday, but it didn't hit me until late. Them choosing to fly over on Saturday, stay on the East Coast, Baltimore, then fly over there. They have those long-ass flights on a regular basis. Anytime they get a flight of the East Coast from L.A., it's four, five, six hours. So if they're in Baltimore and that's a five, six-hour flight to London, for them it's just like we just got to get used to playing in the morning.

29:52Pat McAfee:Other than that, it is status quo. And they beat the hell out of the Jacksonville Jaguars. I mean, they look fresher than any team I've seen go play international. They look better than everybody. And they might have had it figured out. And this team's for real yet again, Darius.

30:06Adam Schefter:It's for real. Now, you know, offensively they're always going to be for real with Sean McVay and Matt Stafford calling the shots. But defensively with Chris Shula, some people were calling for him and some other places to take the reins. But that defense is absolutely dominant. It starts with the front. It's in the blood. It's in the blood. Fisk. Turner, just a bunch of dogs up front. Chris Shula has the boys rolling, hunting. They lead the league in dying personnel, so they're going to get stops. But offensively, they're going to have four points week in and week out. You talked about it. This was without Puka, who was a top two, top three wide receiver when he was playing this season.

30:38Adam Schefter:We expect him to pick up right where he left off when he gets back in here. But, yeah, Matt Stafford slinging the ball all across the York. This guy, he's going to be a dog as this season continues to go. We saw him in College Ferguson, a second-round pick. But, yeah, this team is special to watch. And what are they now, 5-2 on top of the NFC West? Yeah, so I can't wait to continue to watch these boys roll.

30:57Pat McAfee:Raining like hell. Obviously, tea and crumpets all over the place. Matt Stafford loves everything about it. They're almost throwing more because it was nasty out there. Go ahead. Yeah, that's what I was going to say is to do it in the inclement weather because, like, it was pouring. And, you know, I think a lot of people, maybe not so much with Stafford because he's played for so long, but they just assume with the Rams, it's like, oh, that's a dome team. Like, you know, and then when they have to travel potentially for the playoffs, like, they're going to be in trouble because they're so used to that.

31:22And obviously, we saw last year in the playoffs that wasn't necessarily the case, but for them to be able to go in these conditions and just beat the shit out of the Jaguars, I think that speaks volumes. They pummeled these Jaguars.

31:34Adam Schefter:Are we worried about the Jags? No! A little bit after that one. A little bit. No! Yeah, London's a home game for them.

31:41Pat McAfee:No, but it was rainy. Let's go to the number two headline. The Chiefs isn't still the Chiefs. They're better. Oh, no. I don't want to be the bearer of bad news. I think we're all seeing it. Okay? Sportsbook saw it before any of us. Yes, they did. They're the ones who changed the odds immediately. Somehow, they must have had a little conversation inside. Okay, when Rasheed Rice obviously comes back, they're going to have another weapon. Okay? And with Worthy being faster than everybody on the field, they're going to have this year's version of their Tyreek Hill. Travis Kelsey's going to somehow drink from the fountain of youth.

32:10Pat McAfee:Kareem Hunt's going to do the same damn thing. They're going to start having more weapons than everybody else. And then, oh, yeah, Patrick Mahomes is going to make a decision that he's just not going to lose anymore. That's what Patrick Mahomes says he's going to do. He'll run through you. He'll run around you. And then the defensive side of the ball, hold the phone. They have a shutout. Are they good too, D. Butch?

32:28Adam Schefter:Well, look, you got to factor in the opponent here. Whoa, Kenny Pickett played. That man's a Super Bowl champion. Exactly my point. So they ran 30 plays on offense. I don't know what – that should be a record, at least in the last 15. Yeah, that's unbelievable. Yeah, you know Spags and that defense is going to figure it out and start humming and start playing well. But Patrick Mahomes, this is the first game, I believe, with Worthy, Hollywood Brown, and Rasheed Rice on the field at the same time. And you mentioned Travis Kelsey finding that fountain in youth. Yeah, definitely. He's going to be open.

32:59Adam Schefter:That intermediate part of the field has to be open because as defenses and DBs, we got to get the hell back with all these guys running four twos all around the field. So Andy Reid, you know, they're going to figure it out. Spag is going to figure it out. And then two of them on the special teams in that third phase, he's going to figure it out as well. So, yeah, it's not a great moment for any teams in the AFC, any teams in the NFL really when this team in red is humming.

33:19Pat McAfee:We saw Travis Kelsey on the Ares tour come out on stage, shave his lady. Yeah, sure. Okay, do the – the whole thing. We saw him at Happy Gilmore nail it. Yeah. Absolutely nail it. Obviously, we've seen Patrick Mahomes do some commercials. and we've seen him out there kind of doing his thing. You saw him do a little thespian for the fake... Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, run it! Going for it on their own 40. On fourth and a foot. Tried to draw him offside. It was hot, hot, hot, hot! It never fucking worked, man. Sorry. Mahomes says, Coach, it doesn't work. He was faking it! He was faking it! Holy hell, bro.

34:05Pat McAfee:That's genius. I love everything about it. A couple of the linebackers look like they weren't falling for it, but just all you need is one D lineman just to be like, oh, yeah, we aren't falling for it, brother. Whoa, shit, we're out of nowhere. Love the fake spike anytime anybody does it. And I guess we're going to – you know, anytime Patty Showtime Mahomes starts putting on a Broadway act in the middle of a show, I'm going to buy it. Because I think he sold it pretty good.

34:26Adam Schefter:I mean, he fooled, what, Tony Romo played with 15 years in league. He fooled the hell out of Tony now. Now, I'm sure a lot of people probably hated that from Tony, but I loved it. I think it actually made it better. Look, think about Tony. You feel like he's excited watching the game. So I can appreciate that from him. And we know we've seen Patrick Mahomes. You never know what to expect with this bunch, whether it's spinning around in a huddle in a red area or something. They always got something up their sleeve. So this was – and it's the Raiders show. Why not go for it?

34:53Pat McAfee:I mean, it's only 7-0 at that point. Little did they know that that would be the Raiders' final score. And Pete Carroll, I don't know if he's loving necessarily coming back and coaching to be the Raiders. And what's that conversation later? We'll certainly ask Schefter here in a matter of moments. And number one headline.

35:10Pat McAfee:I'll let you guys read it home with your eyes first. Gold school in the Super Bowl. I mean, it's so cool. They're finally going to play somebody that's good. Beat the Broncos, okay? Just so we all kind of make this argument kind of disappear quickly. Chargers aren't going to let them just do that bullshit. Danny Dimes is going to fight. Yeah, right. We're better, buddy. We're literally better than everybody. And we got 390-pounders deflecting balls and catching them. This guy cooks wings in his sink, and he's doing this to your favorite quarterback. Give me that. Bats it up in the sky, pushes a guy off him.

35:42Pat McAfee:Let me find that thing. Fingers and wrist tape. Then our entire team joins him. Everybody that is in L.A. from Indianapolis hits the field and celebrates with him. But whenever things like that are happening, you know good jujus on our side. And then you think about the story. Grover Stewart was actually the one who brought the guitar. So they've been bringing a guitar for Jim Irsay. It's one of his guitars for the boss. Bring it in. I don't know if it's player of the week, personally that gives a speech. I'm not 100 % sure how it goes to who it goes. But obviously, bringing the guitar, you've got to get the pick.

36:12Pat McAfee:So now every person that is defense that brings in a guitar, we're expecting the same thing. Grover Stewart's not supposed to get picks. Brought his guitar, needs one so he can shred that thing. This team's a real deal, brother. They are for real. All three phases, too. Badgley goes back. He was kicker for the Chargers. Makes a couple big ones. Rigoberto Sancho was called on a couple times. He makes it. The defense humming all over the place, and we just got Kenny Mo back. So the fact that he's getting his feet back under him for the run. The Colts might be starting out too hot, but also we might be nowhere near our peak yet either.

36:41Pat McAfee:I mean, there's so many different things and angles to kind of discuss about it. How do you feel about the team, and what do you think about our upside still? I feel like we're still only learning more about ourselves.

36:49Adam Schefter:Yeah, I expect at this point for us to be kind of figuring out and finding ourselves, hopefully being like around 500, maybe in the battle for the AFC South. So to be sitting here going into what, week eight, week nine now, and you're at the top of the league. Like we're the class of the division when you look at obviously the AFC South and the whole conference of the AFC. And you talk about it. When you watch this team play, it's not like gimmicky shit or they got an offense that, hey, defense haven't quite figured it out yet or defense. Like you're just seeing sound fundamental football in all three phases, regardless of the injuries.

37:22Adam Schefter:We've been pretty healthy in offense, but a ton of injuries. on defense. Danny Dimes like, it's unbelievable they were hiding this quarterback in New York for those years. Like, I feel terrible for all these quarterbacks that will go away and will never see. Some of us knew. I mean, I didn't know. Most of us didn't know. We remember the poll. We watched the playoff game. I'm sure you were in the minority with those. Of course, you were very optimistic about Danny Dries. Back at it. Let's talk about it now. He's spinning. Shane Stike and unbelievable. It's a big win for him too against one of his former teams.

37:53Adam Schefter:You talked about Big Grove and just that what you saw with the sideline like I talked about it weeks ago with I think it was the Eagles at the time but like when you see those type of vibes like that's the type of shit that just comes through the screen we you can tell what's going on in the building Monday through Saturday when you see shit like this with this I don't think I've ever seen this many people run off the sideline on an NFL game this game's nowhere near over this is middle of the second quarter it's not like fourth quarter game ceiling interception so the vibes are immaculate right now of the Colts.

38:23Adam Schefter:Long season ahead, but from everything that I'm seeing and that we're seeing, it looks like they're going to only continue to get better.

38:28Pat McAfee:Last stat before we bring in a man to correct us or give us more depth on every conversation we've had. Daniel Jones is responding to pressure better than any QB we've ever tracked, says Hembo. He's 91.8 QBR when pressure would be the highest in a season in the history of the metric. The previous record was Josh Allen's 83.5 in 2024 last year. That was an MVP season. For context, the league average versus pressure is 27.8. Ladies and gentlemen, joining us now is a guy who I think to just say hand the MVP trophy to Danny Dimes now, senior NFL insider for ESPN Michigan man, Adam Schefter. Schefter, first 15, 39 minutes in at this point.

39:06Pat McAfee:We appreciate you joining us. Anything that you saw us talk about that we missed there or needs to be mentioned? Jonathan Taylor's had a pretty good hand in succeeding where Danny Dimes hasn't. And Danny Dimes, you know what's amazing is the Colts run through a lot of pressure, a lot of heat. And they haven't added that much. They added a quarterback and they added a tight end, right? That's basically what they did. Tyler Warren, Daniel Jones. And those two guys have turned that team into a dominant outfit. And a lot of people said they hadn't beaten anybody early on. Okay, fine. They went into L.A.

39:40and yes, that Charger team was beat up, but they beat up that team. You don't see an offense run up points the way that the Colts are doing. And what's amazing to me also is they're very rarely in third down. Like, they're getting everything on first, second down. They've been incredible to watch, and they are right now as good as about any team in football, outside, with all due respect, maybe the Kansas City Chiefs.

40:05Pat McAfee:Okay, well, obviously, Kansas City Chiefs, we just did an entire thing about what Patrick Mahomes looks like right now and how they're potentially only getting better. I think we as the Indianapolis Colts, I'm not going to say we, I'll say as the fan of the Indianapolis Colts, someone speak for that locker room. We'd like to play the Chiefs right now. Okay. Now, I think in a few weeks, I think in a few weeks, this Chiefs team might continue to kind of do a thing, but so are we. So are we. I think we would not be scared of the smoke. And then Tampa Bay, obviously, is thinking the same thing down there in Tampa.

40:31Pat McAfee:We'll watch them tonight. Obviously, you'll give us some more intel on the two games this evening. Let's go to Bermuda, Bahama. Come on, pretty mama. Where do you go? Where do you go? Baby, why don't we go to the cocumbo? You know what? We'll get there fast and then we'll take it slow. That's where we want to go. Way down in cocumbo. Let's talk about the bench boys, okay? Not the beach boys. Let's talk about Tua, Gino, and Justin Fields. It's obviously not a super positive thing to chit-chat about, but the bench boys is how we'll refer to them. What should we be expecting for their stories going forward?

41:20Pat McAfee:And is this just because the team looked like trash on this particular day? Let's go ahead and scrap off and move forward. I mean, I can't believe all the things that are going on in the league and that giant Broncos game where you go to the bench boys. But okay, like, you want to go there. You missed the first 30 minutes, Jimmy. You missed the first 30 minutes. We already hit that. Yeah, we already hit that. But you have the updates that we don't have. Tua and the Miami Dolphins, obviously an interesting situation. Gino and the Raiders, Pete Carroll and the Raiders, and then Justin Fields. Aaron Glenn came out and said every situation is still going to be moderated early in the week.

41:52Pat McAfee:Feels like those are pretty big stories with three pretty big names there. Yeah, listen, Aaron Glenn is leaning on the advice of other people, as he mentioned during the press conference, wants to talk to some other coaches around the league. I would imagine that means he'll be talking to Bill Parcells this week. Maybe Sean Payton gets some input on what he should and shouldn't be doing at quarterback. I think when you're talking like that, I think it's hard to go back to the initial guy. So it wouldn't surprise me if they go to Rod Taylor here, but that'll be a decision that Aaron Glenn has to make here.

42:23Tua Tungavailoa has struggled. It's not like they're going to turn to Quinn Ewers, I don't think, this early in the year. They're going to keep riding Tua right now. He'll be the guy. He's thrown a lot of interceptions. They've played bad football. I know a lot of people thought that by this time the Dolphins would have wholesale changes today. It's not happening. They've been wanting to hold off on this for as long as they possibly can. I think we all recognize what's ahead in Miami, that there could be significant changes that come. They don't seem to be coming anytime soon. But obviously, when you play the way they have and lose the way that they are, I had one Dolphins fan text me yesterday that this is one of the lowest points in franchise history.

43:04There's going to be changes. And we know that there'll be changes. We just don't know how soon they'll come, but I'm not expecting any changes this week. The Raiders are on a bye week. They're going to have to sit down and evaluate everything. Their backup quarterback is Kenny Pickett. I guess they could try that for a spark. You know, the problem yesterday, they ran 30 plays, 30 total plays all game. If you look at it, I think that was like the lowest number of plays. I have it in my phone. It's like the lowest number. Yeah, there it is. Okay. Lowest amount of plays since at least 2002. I have some, I mean, just, you're not going to win that way.

43:41And it was a bad performance. They have not played well offensively. They should get Brock Bowers back after the bye. That'll help. They didn't have Jacoby Myers. Like, who's Gino throwing the football to yesterday? It's a tough thing.

43:51Pat McAfee:Yeah, it's a tough thing. Injury is also a tough thing in the NFL storyline. We know you don't love that that is a part of your gig, but it's real, especially at the quarterback position. Now, you have Jacoby playing for Kyler. You have Carson playing for J.J. Then we got a couple more seemingly yesterday. Go ahead, D. Bush.

44:06Adam Schefter:Yeah, Carolina got another win yesterday, but Bryce Young went down late in that game. And then also Jaden Daniels went down in his game as well. Any updates there for those two quarterbacks? Bryce Young won't play this week. He'll be out. He's dealing with a sprained ankle. And as for Jaden Daniels, well, Bryce Young, here's the play. He hobbled to the locker room after he went down here. Gingerly didn't come back in the game. Andy Dalton came on, and Andy Dalton will wind up starting. for Bryce Young this week. Jaden Daniels also went to the blue medical tent, hobbled. People weren't exactly sure what it initially was.

44:41It turned out to be his hamstring. Look, we've seen what this is before, whereas Lamar Jackson had a hamstring injury. Now, who knows if they're the same grade? We don't know what grade Lamar's was, but he missed two weeks. They have the bye, and the Ravens feel like they'll get him back. Jaden Daniels hobbles off the field. doesn't come back in the game. I think it would be safe to say right now that it would be a surprise if he's playing a week from today against the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday Night Football, and the commanders are about to embark upon really like the teeth of their schedule.

45:18They play the Chiefs, the Seahawks, the Lions. I think that it's fair to think that Jaden Daniels is going to miss some of those games at the very least, at the very least, with a hamstring injury like that. Here's a guy that makes his living with his legs, with his arm. And, again, I think it would be a surprise if he's back next week.

45:40Pat McAfee:That sucks for all of us. Mark Smariota, though, has already gotten some time, obviously. We'll see how that goes for Monday Night Football. Two guys that I mentioned there early, and we got a chance to experience the Carson Wentz experience yesterday. And also, you know, what's going on out there in Phoenix. Go ahead, Tone. Yeah, we did get to experience that. And J.J. was limited in practice this week, so it wasn't a surprise that Carson was starting this week. But what about going forward? Is J.J. McCarthy the starter when he is healthy? And then Pat talked about out in Phoenix. Is Kyler the starter when he comes back as well?

46:15My understanding is with Carson Wentz and J.J., the Vikings play a short week this week. They have the Chargers Thursday night. I would expect that we get Carson Wentz on Thursday night. and I was told there's a chance that J.J. McCarthy will be ready for the week after at Detroit so again I think if Carson Wentz comes back and plays well they win the game Thursday night maybe that buys J.J. another week if not then I think J.J. could be back as soon as that week at Detroit now Kyler Murray they're on a bye this week my understanding all along has been that he will be back for Monday Night Football two weeks from tonight at Dallas.

46:57Kyler's from that area. He's not going to miss a game in Jerry's world against the Cowboys. So you can expect to see Kyler back two weeks from tonight.

47:04Pat McAfee:Okay, so Kyler's back in Jerry's world. I think he has a pretty good record through high school and everything like that. And then Jacoby Brissett will continue to spin it for them. And then Carson Wentz on Thursday night against the Chargers. Is that what you said? That's what I would think. That would be my expectation right now. That's been the problem with these 9.30 a.m. Sunday games. We had a taste of Carson Wentz football at 9.30 a.m. We had a taste of the Carson Wentz experience at 9.30 a.m., and we thought to ourselves, this is the greatest way to start a day. Did you see him yesterday?

47:36Pat McAfee:We are in full Carson Wentz experience time right now with the Minnesota Vikings. Kevin O 'Connell can say what he wants, but when a guy can do that, pop it on a dime, Jordan Addison in the corner, you're allowed to do whatever you want. He'll do this every once in a while. That's an easy one. I'll miss it, just because it's better for you. And then, oh, shit, it's going to get snapped over my head. Obviously not his fault, but he'll make the play. Great cover. He's going to get on that play. He's been in that position before. And every once in a while, he's going to take a huge shot and just throw it to the other team.

48:02Pat McAfee:That's not his fault. Took a massive shot. Quarterbacks are going to do that. They obviously cribbed that thing, so that's a little bit of a different story. And Carson Wentz will get a little handsy. Yep, let me throw it backwards real quick, out of bounds. This is the Carson Wentz experience we were talking about. Anything can happen on any play, including this. Cross body. Hawk that thing. Two. Somebody. Like a punt. It's a punt. Don't worry about it, Carson Wentz. And then whenever you talk about evading and escaping and dropping, he does that on the other side of it. That is the Carson Wentz experience.

48:34Pat McAfee:And as the game got later, Carson only got better. Feels like the Eagles were only getting more scared. A little underhanded stuff. How you doing, TJ Hawkinson? Why don't you get it out there? And then every once in a while, there'll be a little bit of chaos. Let me throw it right into the ground here. Who's around me? Nobody. That's obviously an intentional grounding. Yeah, that'll be a sack there. So there's just a never-ending of, he's like the Michigan Wolverine football team, but on every single play. It literally could be the greatest play or it could be the worst play at any given moment.

49:00Pat McAfee:And that's Carson Wentz experience that's coming on Thursday night. Consider me in. Amazon needs to be thanking their lucky stars that Carson Wentz is playing on primetime. Yes. We got Harbaugh talking. Jim Harbaugh stories and features happening. And then we got Carson Wentz playing ball. Holy, this is the Mega Bowl. Yeah, it is. They need to have a human wrestle a bear at half the place. Spumoni. They need that out there. Dan Herbert, sir? All right. Anyways, sorry. We had to get that in. Had to get the Carson Wentz experience. That's the only reason we asked that whole question. Jeff, he gets it.

49:34Pat McAfee:So, Jeff, we appreciate you. Ali, you open us for that. That was quite an array of highlights. Of course, I did not expect to get the full Carson Wentz experience when I popped on here, but we did. That was the full experience. Dude, we got to experience it as Colts fans. It's the greatest and the worst. But that's the Carson Wentz experience. All right, Ty has a question for you, Shefty. Shefty, you said that you thought the trade deadline would be pretty active this year. After yesterday and the Raiders just get absolutely embarrassed. And I know we do this every single year because the Raiders kind of suck around this time every single year.

50:04Is there any chance that Max Crosby is potentially going to get traded? A couple teams out there, you know, Colts could maybe use a D-end. Is there any chance that the Raiders will even entertain that? or is it just going to be no? Ty, they haven't done that in the past. I wouldn't imagine that they would do it now, especially considering that when Pete Carroll comes back as the oldest coach in NFL history, he's not coming back to rebuild a team in stockpile picks. Pete Carroll is coming back to compete. And obviously they've run into some hard times here and they're not winning and they're not playing overly well.

50:40But I can't imagine that Pete Carroll is going to be on board with trading a game-changing defensive guy. And if and when the day ever were to come that Max Crosby were traded, I think it would have to be coming from Max Crosby, going in there and saying, guys, I can't take it anymore. I want to be traded. And they just paid him in the offseason. They just gave him a new contract. So it's hard. You can't get everything in life. You can't be treated like the face of the franchise, as he's been deservedly so because he's an incredible player. You can't be rewarded and paid in the offseason. You can't turn around and say, well, I know we've sucked in the first seven games and I want to be traded now.

51:20It doesn't work like that. So I never rule out anything in this league. Anything's always possible. We'll see how it shakes out. But to me, I think he's staying in Vegas.

51:28Pat McAfee:I don't think Max Crosby's ever wanted to be traded. Max Crosby gets very pissed off at us and others whenever it even comes up on our conversation because, you know, Raider through and through. But we would like to let Max Crosby know we got to see you play live in person against the Colts. it'd be really cool to watch you play in big games. Yeah, just want to see him win. It would be so cool. Playoffs. It would be so cool. He's a Raider. I get it. I understand they took a shot on you. You're very loyal. We all respect that. We respect shit out of Max Crosby. Very big fans. Such big fans would be really cool to watch him go through a playoff run.

52:00Pat McAfee:Just take over games, too. Imagine the world getting to see him at Super Bowl. Max, think about the game, brother. Think about the game. Exactly. Super Bowl. You got people that are watching only one game a year. They don't even know what American football is. and what do they see? This super tatted white dude off the edge who never stops. And just full menace the whole time. Might open this game up to another 100 million people. Heyman Buckner?

52:23Adam Schefter:Oh!

52:23Pat McAfee:Come on! Mad Max, we need ya! Now on that note, the fact that you're so loyal and respect and all that stuff is part of the reason why you are the person that we love. Yeah, we get it. But he gets mad at us anytime it's mentioned. We would like that to be known. I was going to say, would Trey Hendrickson be more likely because of his relationship with Lou Anarumo, but did the Thursday night win kind of put that on halt, Shefty, potentially? Lou Anarumo? And is Trey Henderson, was he ever on the block? Because he's on a one-year deal, basically. He'd be a good rental in the Colts' relationship with Lou Anarumo.

52:56And did the Thursday night win kind of put things on hold there if he ever was on the block? I mean, I don't know if it was on a hold. They're trying to get back in this. They traded for Joe Flacco. They won a game. And if they lose the next two games leading up to the trade deadline, could that change things? Sure. But I don't think the Bengals are looking to give away Trey Hendrickson. And I don't think Trey is thinking about or entertaining the idea that he's going to be leaving right now. Like he, you know, we exchanged a couple of texts last week. He had no idea what was going on. Like nothing along those lines of him being traded.

53:31And again, in this league, anything's always possible. We'll see how it shakes out. But I think the Bengals are focused on trying to turn around their season before the trade deadline coming off a big win Thursday night against the Steelers.

53:42Pat McAfee:The NFL, anything is possible, including people calling in from a different state. Go ahead, D-Butch.

53:47Adam Schefter:Yeah, what the hell is this about, Shefty? Like, we saw it with Jared Goff with the shift, and they called back a touchdown. They said it came from New York. And then just remember that we were talking about TJ Hawkinson, that touchdown. He had a diving touchdown. It was called a touchdown. Then it was reviewed, and he said he didn't get any confirmation from the referees on the field that they saw anything to overturn it, but it came from New York. What's going on with the NFL and them coming in from New York, changing calls, and the refs on the field not really doing it? Well, you know, that's always been the case.

54:19The league has always been able to watch these games and weigh in with their opinion. I think that was part of the change in the offseason rules and the way they approach this, that New York office will always be involved in these kinds of things. So I think when the officials are huddling, the eye in the sky, the eyes in New York are always watching as well, and I think everybody's trying to come together to come up with the best opinion, the right call on any of these situations, whether it's coming from on the field, in the booth, in New York, wherever it may be. So, I think New York has always kind of been watching things.

54:51They've got their eyes on all games at all times, and I think they've always been able to weigh in with their opinion. And all

54:57Pat McAfee:people. They're watching this right now. Oh, yeah. I might get a text about it, like Here's the deal. The people know who they are. Give me the update. What do you have to say about that? Those people, let's be good. If you're going to have that type of power, let's make sure we're good at it. I appreciate the fact that they're giving their opinion. Let's give facts. Let's give facts. Let's make sure we're doing that, especially if we all kind of understood that New York was doing that and then they're lying about it.

55:25Adam Schefter:Yeah, because if the refs on the field, three refs on the field, tell you like, hey, we saw it this way, we got it, but hey. That's a baby face move by the refs, though. True.

55:35Pat McAfee:That's like the refs maybe trying to put themselves over in the moment and burying New York. That's not good. No. You should get everybody on the same page. Hey, New York, if you're going to be giving your opinion, we think this is a good game. Also, that's not a catch. Let's make sure all the other refs just buy in and go, hey, New York said that's a case, as opposed to, I would have gave it to you. That's tough. That's a tough look. Or do what the ACC does. Wide open. That's the best. Let us hear it. Tonight, we got one minute. We wasted a lot of your time, Sheffield. We are so sorry. What do we need to look at for tonight, injuries-wise?

56:07Pat McAfee:Detroit Lions secondary banged up. Bad in. Brian Branch out, right? That's a big story? Yeah, it's obviously a huge deal. The fact, no Avanti Maddox, no Kirby Joseph, no Terry and Arnold. Brian Branch suspended. So you're talking about basically essentially a starting secondary wiped out due to injury or suspension. The Buccaneers wide receivers, no Chris Godwin. I think Mike Evans is going to wind up playing. And I think, to the surprise of many, Emeka Obuka has a real chance to play tonight. They're going to test him pregame to make a final determination. But as I was told over the weekend, I think it was trending towards him playing.

56:45And they'll obviously see how he feels pregame before signing off. But I think there's a real chance he's going to be out there tonight.

56:51Pat McAfee:Five seconds. Texans, Seahawks, anything? Seahawks have a couple of defensive backs who are questionable. Julian Love, Devin Witherspoon. I think it would be a surprise if either played. Goodbye. We'll see you next hour. As you know, managing maintenance, repair, and operations is never easy.

58:09Pat McAfee:I'm going to send the program because I just couldn't wait to get started as if it was the first time we're getting on the microphones after that incredibly electrifying weekend of ball with two more games tonight as a doubleheader for Monday Night Football. It's seemingly become like the thing now. ESPN obviously only has Monday Night Football normally. Getting a second game on Monday night's time slot, certainly cool. 10 p.m. Eastern. What the hell? On ESPN, Texans and Seahawks, for those of you that might not be able to fall asleep. Or if you fall asleep during the first game and wake up late and say, what happened at first game?

58:42Pat McAfee:Oh, there's another game on. You might be able to catch something until about 1, 2 a.m. With the Texans and the Seahawks. Remember, Seahawks, Sam Darnold and the boys are talented. Texans, been on a little bit of a run here, though. Obviously, they've been counted out, ruled out early. But C.J. Stroud and Texans kind of find their way. And then Bucs and Lions, you've got two teams that might represent the NFC in the Super Bowl there. Tampa Bay Buccaneers had a lot of injuries throughout this entire season. Baker Mayfield has throttled himself right into MVP conversations. And then Jared Goff, they were calling him Jared Gouflovsky.

59:12Pat McAfee:They were. Earlier in the year, whenever they weren't doing anything cool or dynamic. And then all of a sudden, they're all the way back to who they were last year. Very banged up in the secondary. Did I hear five members of the secondary are at least out or hurt at this moment? Four guys are out. No Brian Branch. No Kirby Joseph. Those are our starting safeties. No Terry on Arnold. No DJ Reed. Those are our starting corners against Baker Mayfield, who is slinging the pill everywhere. That's a little worrisome. With potential Mike Evans and Emeka Ibuka back tonight, easy for everybody to say, including Gronk and myself.

59:46Pat McAfee:Nine-year NFL vet, Darius J. Butler is here. D. Butch, this is what the Lions had last year. The Lions, I mean, now they got four guys, including our three guys and a suspension. But they got the defensive injury bug bad last year, and it completely stalled what they were going to have. still ended up the number one seed in the NFC, but weren't the Super Bowl team that we thought. Is it going to happen to them again?

1:00:06Adam Schefter:I mean, those names, it's hard to go into a game and compete, especially against an MVP caliber quarterback with none of your starters in the secondary up there. But, I mean, we saw the 49ers kind of do it with what Salah did with his defense. And you still have Hutch, who's been a game rucker, and Muhammad on the other side of him, who's been an absolute dog as well. So I got faith in Kelvin Shepard to make this a good game with D.C. for the Lions. But you talked about the slate and the back-to-back starts. I know I'm probably in the minority here. I prefer the 7 and the 10 o 'clock starts when there are two games that should be potentially good games.

1:00:39Adam Schefter:Like, these are four good teams. You've got three quarterbacks that can honestly, at the end of the season, be in the MVP conversation with how they're playing tonight. So, I'll be up for this one for sure. All right.

1:00:49Pat McAfee:Well, I can't wait to hear about it. See, that second one's going to be tough for me to make, but I'll watch it in the morning. But maybe I stick up for it because I'm such a big fan of the Houston Texans team. That's real. They've been very good to us. The Texans have been very, very good to us. It's been tough since that first year of C.J. Stroud really get rolling. Maybe tonight's a night where they let the world or remind the world that, or at least the West Coast that's watching, that we are for real. And maybe the Seahawks continue to go when nobody talks about them. They're a bandwagon as well that everybody could potentially hop on after everybody potentially hopped off last year with new head coach.

1:01:21Pat McAfee:Kick his guy out of the building. Wild. Paint it over the walls. Legion of Boom's back, by the way. You're doing a video game thing. Oh, yeah, that's right. The Legion of Boom. It's great news. Love the Legion of Boom. Talks at the table is here. I have Boston Connor and Ty Schmidt. One half of the hammer. Done. Cowboys AP. Tone is here. Tone, public one. We need to feel good. Yes, they did. They were five and four this weekend on teams that were getting 60 % or more of the bets. Also teams that were getting mid-50s. Bengals, Chiefs, and Cowboys all won and covered as well. It was a good weekend for the public.

1:01:53Pat McAfee:It was a great weekend for this man we're about to bring in as well. He's a college football national champion, Super Bowl champion, Ryder Cup winner. Ladies and gentlemen, A.J. Hawk. How you doing, dude? I do not remember all my picks. I have no clue what my record may be, but I feel like I won some. Yeah, you've got the Hawkeye on the board right now, brother. You're flying high. Nine and four after an incredible Sunday slate for A.J. Hawk. Now, there was a couple that we decided that we could have maybe just ruled out. Both of us could have just ruled out there. I picked the Raiders, man. Are you kidding me?

1:02:2431-0, was it? Is that right? They were down the ball with like four minutes to go, and I picked the Raiders.

1:02:28Pat McAfee:Yeah, that kneel down before the two-minute warning is certainly something. That is certainly something. Raiders had a whole time out. Yeah, Jacksonville Jaguars, I took them. So that was a fun warning, you know, just kind of watching them never get started. I won 8-5. You won 9-4. Tonight, obviously, two games. I'll be excited to see who you pick and how you pick them. College, another big weekend. I'll tell you what, when the games that we're at, when I get those ones right, those feel really good, you know, because there's a lot of people that tell me I'm just pandering to the crowd. Or if I sit up there and I tell these people to go to hell, I would like it to be for good reason.

1:03:02Pat McAfee:I'd like that to be the case. I got Connor alongside me a little bit. Oh, yeah, basically all of them. The only three I posted were just the ones that I did after the fact, after you made all these. These six were money. And the best part about these was like, man, but I do like Ole Miss. No, I have no idea what the hell I'm doing. BYU, same thing. I was like, well, I like Utah, though. Utah's cool. Nope, just shut up. Listen to what Pat's saying because he actually knows what he's talking about. And then the last one, the alternate spread. That was the one where it was like, okay, had a great day early.

1:03:35Had the 17 or the 16 money line one going. And I was like, I mean, everybody is basically saying these guys should do well. You mentioned a massive bounce back for Oregon. And South Florida is a college football playoff team. So I was like, you know what? Screw it. Maybe they'll both just blow them out, especially because South Florida was a South Florida bowl. It was against FAU, so I kind of thought there might be a little extra juice there. So thank you very much.

1:04:01Pat McAfee:No, we got to enjoy these times because this could swing the other way. Yeah. It could swing the other way, especially with the way college football has been going this year. AJ, I don't know if you saw this stat I tweeted we read in the first hour from ESPN Research. Top 10 teams have lost 18 times this season, the most through eight weeks of a season since 2007. I mean, you're talking about insanity. Four of them lost this past weekend. And Coach Braum all of a sudden, you know, not only running old clips of him whenever he's saying, am I dead? No. Let's play football, basically, as an actual quarterback in the league at the time.

1:04:33Pat McAfee:But his team every year, two years ago, was Notre Dame. Last year was Clemson. This year it's Miami on Friday night as everybody is watching along. And this guy, they're calling him Adrian Peterson as a wide receiver. Braum's name might be real hot in some spots because of what he's been able to accomplish at Louisville. But you got to remember, he's in a ring of honor down here. He's a Hall of Famer down here, Louisville. Yep, went and played at Louisville. Obviously, he had a great career coaching at Purdue for as far as coaching at Purdue goes. He had upsets against Ohio State, top five upsets there as well, and then goes here.

1:05:08He's a coach that wins the big games. He's also a coach that I believe Louisville has the most consecutive 24-point, where they have scored at least 24 points in the nation. So they score as well. So when you score and when you win big games, that is a recipe to be wanted by a lot of us.

1:05:25Pat McAfee:Pretty desired couple of traits that a coach would have. Spots are opening up, AJ. Spots are opening up around college ball. Who's going to coach all these teams? Yeah, where are they going to find? I mean, we're going to see – you think we're going to see anybody jump from the NFL back to college? I don't know, maybe an NFL coordinator takes a head gig somewhere? Maybe. I don't know. Like Minter, for instance, out there at the Chargers. He had obviously a massive amount of success whenever he was at Michigan. in, but also he might get an NFL opportunity. There's so many different ways to look at it.

1:05:54Pat McAfee:Chip Kelly, he obviously Ohio State offensive coordinator, gets the NFL as fast as he possibly can. Now he's at the Raiders. This stinks. Maybe he'll go back to calling some plays and running a college thing. The new AP Top 25 is out. The Ohio State Buckeyes still at number one. No real conversation or chatter about him either, AJ. Just kind of ho-hum. The Ohio State Buckeyes are better than they were last year at this point, and they're undefeated, and they're the number one team in the country. What do people not know about the Ohio State Buckeyes, A.J. Hawk? Man, I think, I mean, I don't know.

1:06:23Maybe I just live in the bubble here. I hear, like, I watch with my eyes, but their defense under Matty Patricia is awesome. I mean, they lose so many guys, and they just reload and have dudes that are absolute freak athletes that run all over and make plays. So their defense is something people are talking about, but I think Julian Sane is awesome. I really do. I don't think, I think he kind of flies under the radar, maybe because he's not 6 '5 and the big pocket passer, but the dude is athletic with a crazy quick release. Throwing the great receivers, I get it, but yeah, Buckeyes are doing what they should do right now.

1:06:52Pat McAfee:Yeah, he's spinning it, obviously. Next game, November 1st against Penn State after you guys shut out Wisconsin. I was asked on game day, hey, how many points does Wisconsin score today against this Ohio State team? And I'd known that they – I didn't know if it was 17 or 16 in the time when I was speaking, but I knew they let Illinois score some points late, and I could just tell how pissed everybody was on the defensive side. Like, hey, we have a chance to do something special here at Ohio State. We're giving up five points a game, and you guys are going to let Illinois score 16 against us? Yeah, right.

1:07:22Pat McAfee:I thought Wisconsin had a rough day coming, and they did. They closed the door on them completely, 34-0. Penn State coming up now. Penn State loses a barn burner. They may have found their new head coach. Terry Smith? Terry Smith had the boys playing. They played hard. They did. But, yeah, that was – barn burner is certainly one way of putting it, but that might have been Iowa's best victory in the last 10 years. I didn't get to see the entire game, only the highlights. Who was making what decisions? How did we get to where it was? 33, what was the final score? It was 25-24. There it is. But in the third quarter, Iowa was down 21-10, which typically for Iowa, they might as well have been down 50.

1:08:05They just do not come back from 11-point deficits. And Mark Gronowski, I'll tell you what, he only threw for about 68 yards. But he rushed for 140, put the team. I had multiple 50-plus yard runs, two touchdowns. I mean, it was amazing. It was just amazing.

1:08:22Pat McAfee:What's Iowa's record now? They are 5-2. What are they going to end up? I'll tell you what. I'm not so sure Oregon doesn't have another thing coming when they have to come play at Kinnick at night. I think it's fun because I get to do this right now. I mean, if Iowa loses that game, I say, fuck it. I'm not watching these guys the rest of the year. So I got belief. Right now I'm in the frame of mind that I was going to be 10-2. And a couple things go their way, and guess what? They are the last team that slides into the playoffs. That's the headspace you have to operate in. As a Big Ten guy, that's kind of what you have to do.

1:08:59I mean, nobody wants to see Grinowski one-on-one with the ball in his hand. Because he'll fucking give you a little one, and then he's gone.

1:09:06Pat McAfee:We haven't even seen him in sub-freezing temperatures yet. And that's when he thrives. That's when he thrives. It's a little chilly on Saturday night, but not like it's going to get. What school did he go to? South Dakota. Okay, so South Dakota State, I believe, is hosting North Dakota State this weekend. I believe it is, or maybe it's in North Dakota State. That was a potential game day opportunity this weekend, and I know a lot of people were hoping that we would go to that game. I'd like to let everybody know I had a chance to experience game day. That was how I got on a game day was because Adam Vinatieri was the guest picker for South Dakota State, obviously couldn't make it, so he sends me and replaces in 2019 and uh i go sleeveless hoodie up there i get a chance to enjoy the entirety do the thing and that was like my first introduction to game day basically kirk herb street kind of pieces that whole thing together which i'm very thankful for and then obviously uh the next few years happen and then now i'm back full time for the past i guess this is the fourth season now and it's like getting a chance to go to south dakota state that place will always go big go blue go jacks i'm very thankful for that morning and everything that happened there but that was six years ago we were there now vandy i it's been forever since going to vanderbilt is hosting a game that is obviously a national conversation so i i think no no losing on most weekends on where game day goes i think we should have went to utah byu last weekend uh i think that was a miss i think i said that in real time too like hey they would shut down the state for us to go celebrate what that holy war was and by the way game was great great game BYU remains undefeated but like heading out Vandy to Nashville first time long time great city I think they're all behind the football team and then Mizzou obviously when was the last time they did a game day for a Mizzou game I'm not sure everybody's just attacking another SEC game it's like this is a different I guess they're gonna be juice down there Nashville is going to be rowdy for sure.

1:11:02I think also having Diego as a quarterback that brings even more juice to game day to everything, the atmosphere. It makes sense to me.

1:11:08Pat McAfee:I hope so. I think people are really pissed about the Georgia Ole Miss over...

1:11:13Adam Schefter:At least the game was a banger. Great game.

1:11:16Pat McAfee:Great game. And also Kirby Smart was electrical. And so was Lane on Saturday morning. Was he just looking off into the trees? It looked like so. He was spectacular out there. The game, you're right, was an incredible game. I completely concur on that. Then I got to see a Luke Combs, Bailey Zimmerman concert, and Jelly Roll. That's awesome. So after the show ended, Jelly Roll went up there and performed Liar with Bailey Zimmerman. Luke Combs and Bailey obviously performed. I mean, I talked to James Franklin, fresh off of it. Firing coaches, Vitamins opportunity.

1:11:51Adam Schefter:I mean, it was a good interview. I thought he did well.

1:11:56Pat McAfee:Penn State people weren't happy with it. Of course. Of course, yeah. Why? Why not? Well, they said this was a little bit of glazing of James Franklin, don't we think? Now, if you look at all the graphics that were on the screen while James Franklin was on, there wasn't a lot of glazing happening there. I'm sitting next to James Franklin, and they're running the recap of the season. Yeah, I know. And Reese is like, go into the year, number one team in the country. Boom, boom, boom. Then you lose to Oregon at home in the whiteout. Then you go to UCLA, lose. I'm sitting with James Franklin right here.

1:12:23Pat McAfee:We're showing the lowlights. And then at the bottom, they're putting up all his records against everybody. And then the unthinkable happens. He's right here. He loses to Northwestern at home. They show him getting booed out while he's walking with his family. And I'm like, oh, my God, this is a tough start. And on the screen, it's like, let's take a look at his records now. 100-some wins against top 10 teams. None of them. This guy's worst in the history ever against good teams. Okay, on a graphic now, ladies and gentlemen, joining us in an exclusive, James Frank. I'm like, Jesus Christ. Did he see those graphics before the show?

1:12:54Yes, he was sitting here.

1:12:55Pat McAfee:Oh, before he went up there? Yeah, before he went up there. I'm like, wow, this is okay. I didn't see him beforehand. I don't know if he had to approve him or got approved. He like, I don't know. There's no way they asked him for approval. Yeah, so that would never happen. But I don't know if he was showing them, but I'm sitting there looking at the same TV he's looking at. I'm like, that's a pretty good view. He's got his glasses on too. He definitely can see what those are saying. Oh, geez. That's a tough go. I thought he handed himself off. Yeah. I thought he took some accountability while also saying like I was blindside.

1:13:25Pat McAfee:I was surprised because I was so locked in, you know. I appreciated him doing it. just sitting in there. That had to be uncomfortable. It had to be awkward. And he's getting, what, $43.9 million regardless of what happens next? Or$49.9 million, whatever it is. $50 million, whatever. Yeah, it's a ton of money. Can he double dip? I know Napier can double dip. I saw that in his comment. I think there is offset language, but he doesn't have to. I think it was being reported as he has to try to get a coaching or media job. With who his agent is, if that would have been the case, I would have certainly been pretty surprised by that.

1:13:56Pat McAfee:But I do think most of these guys that this particular agent represents, they only do one thing. And that's like, yeah, I'm going to go jet ski? No. Golf? Spend time with my fam? No. I coach football. I have no hobbies. I don't fish, I don't golf. Yeah, it was a great answer by him. And also, what I told him, I think is very real too. I think long-term history will look back on James Franklin and say, hey, James, did a good job. I think even Penn State people will say that. In the moment, though, Penn State people are saying, I gave$20 million for this roster, and we just lost to Northwestern at home.

1:14:35Pat McAfee:That Northwestern, I didn't even know they had enough people to put on a field. We lost to who? Iomale Ava and Kerr. And then Oregon before that. That's how a lot of Penn Staters feel right now, especially with the records that they were putting up on the screen. But I think in the long term, people will look back. To your point, though, this Penn State role now being open, Boy, has that been good for everybody that's potentially up for that job. Yeah. And now another big one? Florida. Oh!

1:15:03Adam Schefter:Florida would probably be. That's a good job. Because of recruiting, I think so. I'll put Florida a little slightly. I know Penn State has the money, but, I mean, Florida's got the money. The recruiting pipeline down in Florida, like SEC. Those are two really good jobs.

1:15:19Pat McAfee:Great jobs. How many candidates are there? Not enough. that's when that's when is the first one hired when is the first big gig filled that's my question too boy and when does the first big hire not just re-sign a deal at their own place yeah for a mega deal great point you know like when is it so good the leverage is awesome everything all every coach has every decent coach has great leverage when this stuff happens jimmy sexton walks out there with lane kiffin on that field just know that that man's phone is right there in his pocket and if you want to talk about adding five six seven ten more million a year i'll certainly listen.

1:15:53Pat McAfee:I will certainly listen. The big deluxe, the big Cadillac, always working. I love that man. I enjoy him a lot. He's a phenomenal businessman. And the guys that he represents, though, just to go back to it, all super football people. And also, here he is. Look at his ass going between the hedges. And I can work a deal here if you'd like. That's a couple coaches down there. You got Kirby, whose name is going to be everywhere. He's a damn good dog. Nobody would assume him to leave. Lane Kiffin, obviously, his name's up for Florida every year, even when Napier was the head coach. A little on maybe Penn State and what Lane has obviously become at this stage of his career versus what he was 10 years ago and how good his teams have been.

1:16:31Pat McAfee:And listening to him give speeches and everything like that, it's like Lane's job's up there. And Jimmy's like, his name is up there, isn't it? It is. On that note, I don't even want to have a conversation. I don't even want to have a conversation. I just want, can we? And then bang, the bang, the bang, the bang. And then all of a sudden, if you're one of these schools that needs a job or needs a coach, it's like, well, who's all available here?

1:16:53Adam Schefter:Who is? Who are the other – I mean, Lane, based on what he's posting pregame and how he's winning and all this, it's going to be tough for him to leave Ole Miss. But who are, like, the hot – There's, like, you know, like a smaller school, and it's not surprising that they covered the alternate spread because Alex Golish is putting up a lot of points right now because, you know, a lot of people are saying he's putting – at South Florida, he's putting up a lot of points to impress some bigger schools, especially in Florida, stuff like that. He's one of them. You got Matt Campbell, Iowa State, whose name's out there a lot.

1:17:24Pat McAfee:Every year, right, his name's out there? Kind of, yeah. Because he's done well. He's done great at Iowa State, and Iowa State's a great school, but they're not the recruiting fan base that Penn State or Florida and stuff like that has. There's Manny Diaz at Duke, stuff like that. You can talk about Braum as well. Yeah, Braum. Braum's name, Louisville. Was it you, I believe, that said he's a Louisville hero. If anybody is a school's hero that is currently their coach, It's definitely Braum at Louisville. But a lot of schools with a lot of opportunity opening up that don't have a lot of names. And it's like Braum's name.

1:17:57Pat McAfee:What do we want to do? We want to beat the good teams. And we want to put up points. We want to be fun. And we want a dog here. Yeah. Oh, and develop quarterbacks. Ex-quarterback and his brother's quarterback. And I think his father's quarterback and his father's father's quarterback. It's like he is probably quickly to a lot of places, especially after when he did Friday night. Yeah, I would assume so. And I've seen more and more. A lot of people are really trying to connect. Actually, Elko to Penn State makes a lot of sense. That seems weird. Yeah, Jersey guy, Northeast ties. But with how – A &M paid, what,$70 million?

1:18:28That's what I mean. If A &M wants to keep him, they can keep him. So that is very interesting because even the rule stuff, now that has cooled off a little bit after he got P.J. Fleck on Friday night.

1:18:40Pat McAfee:Yeah, P.J. Fleck will get somebody. He will. Hey, golf. Yeah, man. P.J. Fleck is a round of golf. There's going to be a couple good shots that are going to be like, yep, this guy's got it. But will he ever at Minnesota be able to... No, but that was the row the boat game. You knew it was coming. I wonder if he's a guy. Is he as P.J. a candidate to get bumped up to one of these big gigs or bigger? Definitely. Hey, we can golf a lot better. You can be better clubs. Better clubs, better clubs, better cores. A little bit more opportunity here. Maybe we'll be able to do that. He obviously loves Minnesota.

1:19:10Pat McAfee:I mentioned John Gruden's name on game day. It's like, hey, who's Penn State's next head coach? I mean, why not John Gruden? Just let him get out there. Well, do they want somebody that's that old? It's like, you think Gruden feels old when he's talking about ball? Yeah. I don't think so. Signetti, 60-what? Yes. He's the same age. Gruden's the same age as him? 62. Gruden also has ties back to the Hoosiers and his dad. Offensive guy. Can play exciting football. Exciting brand of football on offense, especially. Yeah, Gruden has it all. And a bit of a dog. Yeah. A bit of a dog and energy and everything like that.

1:19:44Pat McAfee:Should not email. Talked about that. Probably not. Should not email. You know, should not email. All right, let's talk a little bit of NFL. Thank you to College Baldo. Oh, yeah. Thank you, College. It's been outstanding. And congrats to Arizona State. Dillingham's name is probably on a lot of people's list as well. Congrats to Arizona State. Get a massive win over Texas Tech. We on the set all picked Texas Tech. I didn't love it at the time. I wish I would have known that going in. Would have picked the opposite because I think this was kind of a coin toss type game, to be honest. The fact that we all went with Texas Tech was very rude to you Arizona State folks.

1:20:17Pat McAfee:Now, this comes fresh off of Dillingham's accountability speech we heard last week, and obviously everything they got going on over there, we should have gave them a little bit more love. I am Arizona State fan. I would love to light up the valley. I love the state of Arizona. My wife and I are probably going to end up living out there someday. Anything out there doing well, I'm a fan of, but he's a guy whose name is probably... Definitely. Texas Tech, tough loss there. What about Matt Patricia? We've seen him sit in the pocket both in a studio and when he's the head coach of an organization with Detroit.

1:20:54You know his message gets through to college players. This is the best defense that's ever played consistently in the history of college football.

1:21:02Pat McAfee:Yeah, that'd be crazy. He's got great weapons on that defense. Would Matt Patricia be able to get to his spot and recruit all the best players? I don't know. The colleges want to hire defensive guys, though, as well. We know in the NFL they're kind of biased towards hiring offensive guys. Matt Patricia's name is definitely going to be interviewed. Does recruiting even matter as much when the money is the only thing that really matters now? Interesting. You still got to keep them. Well, you still got to keep them. Why did Nick Saban retire? Because they didn't have to anymore. It was only about the money.

1:21:30Pat McAfee:I don't think – yeah. That's what he said on there. Yeah, but I don't think they had the money. There's only certain places that have, like – I'm not saying Alabama doesn't have a good amount of money, but I think Saban said that he didn't appreciate the fact that every offseason it was about a renegotiation everything like that but I also don't think they had just like the means to be able to say any dollar amount that you want like Penn State bingo so like legacy and you know you're

1:21:54Adam Schefter:getting drafted you know you're going to be playing for a national championship you know all those different things but like you said now that's and that is why he left because guys coming in hey new money more money Miss Terry said the same thing but yeah I still got you still got to be You still got to be a good, good recruiter. You got to recruit your own guys every time.

1:22:11Pat McAfee:Miss Terry said this. She hasn't seen a number yet. She hasn't seen a number yet. I'm excited to see what that is. Somebody present one. Somebody just go ahead and put one down. Saban's, this is the house you could live in. Okay. Here's I don't know what you need. The pool, spa, whatever. Here's what you have. And here's how much you can get every single year. And Nick Saban's, I kind of like what I'm doing right now, man. Kind of liking what I'm doing. He's got to enjoy his life. Oh, my God. Yes. Golfs a couple times a week, speaks a couple times, still goes into the office, watches film, wakes up on Saturday morning, not the entire weight of the world on your shoulders that if you win, it's going to be okay.

1:22:50Pat McAfee:And if you lose, fire this guy. This guy's old. I think he's at a point where he's pretty happy. And Miss Terry, she's been coming to a couple game days. Kid's been stopped. I mean, everybody seems to be really enjoying this phase of life. But anytime there is anything that is needed anywhere, It's like, Saban will run it. Saban will throw his ass right back into a 90-hour-a-week job. Boom, away from his entire family. And that's what he's earned, obviously. But I don't know if any of it is ever in reality. I just want to tell Nick, you know, he's doing great. Love him on game day. Okay, there's a couple other coaches.

1:23:22Pat McAfee:Love him on game day. There's a couple other coaches decided to come back at 73 years old. Not going great, so just stay at game day. But put a bow on this. There's a potential. It's not just Florida and Penn State. Auburn potentially opening up at some point this season. Florida State maybe after the season. Arkansas is already open there's a lot of Wisconsin

1:23:42Adam Schefter:I love that Saban gets to go around and get his flowers everywhere, all the different campuses and his coaching tree is so extensive that he gets to now go and see catch up with a Kirby Smart or Lane Kiffin and now he gets to see these guys every week that's got to be a crazy full circle moment for him

1:24:02Pat McAfee:every day around him is awesome talking shit to him awesome him in the middle of something awesome him hating something awesome everything about him is awesome like uh he holds he holds my chair you know whenever i get going up there and the game day social folks like everybody needs a friend like nick saban or something it's like yeah if you could get a friend like nick saban you should definitely do that if you can get somebody obviously he holds chair incredible yeah yeah that is what he does but just reading that that caption i'm like yeah get a nick saban if you can one of the greatest leaders let alone like mentorship leaders guiding minds every like every time he speaks with that you're just trying to listen to the words that are coming out like you're only going to get better as a human we're lucky for it okay let's talk a little bit of nfl aj went through our first 15 it took 45 minutes the um number five was some bucking mile high magic you know it looked like That game was over for the Denver Broncos, and then they come storming back on DT Day.

1:25:01Pat McAfee:They scored 33 points in the fourth quarter. They had 33 seconds left on their final drive. It was a 33-yard extra point that was missed. Obviously, there's a lot of wild symbolism going on out there in Denver, Colorado, but Bo Nix, Sean Payton get a huge comeback win, and Giants fans are going, yeah, you should have won, but this kind of sucks. Would be cool to win. And Brian Burns walking off the field in the tunnel actually showcased his emotions a bit. That was caught on camera where he was questioning a lot of things going on alongside Russell Wilson. I want to make sure his jersey was tucked in just in case somebody gets this on film.

1:25:37Pat McAfee:Okay, this is obviously going to get on film. He said drop an eight, not happy about that. What are your thoughts on this game? We should be up on the Broncos, up on the Giants, or what's your takeaway? Honestly, I think you should be up on both of them. The Giants, yeah, they definitely thought they were going to win that thing at the end after they, you know, the Broncos, what do you call it, sleepwalking? They were sleepwalking for two and a half quarters, three quarters almost, and then they found a way offensively especially, I feel like. I don't know. I think when you want to be a great team, you've got to win in many different ways.

1:26:05I think the Giants, first off, they're a legit team. I think they're obviously what Jackson, Dart, and Scadaboo have, like, injected into this offense is huge for the whole organization. But I think their defense is legit. They know how to fight. Like, this is a game the Giants probably should have won. Obviously, I think Dable might lose his mind watching him walk out to the handshake. That dude was not happy at all. He thought they had this game, and this was a tough, tough situation right here.

1:26:28Pat McAfee:I think teams that were in their position now at this moment sit 2-3 ,600 and something. Or something like that. I forget what it is. The only other win is the Indianapolis Colts on Monday Night Football against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. 2-3 ,677 in this situation. That's a lot. Congrats to Broncos. Guys, those are tall odds. Those are tall, tall odds they make it happen. Number four headline was, man, there's MVPs all over the league, dude. Seriously, it seems like every team that wins, I mean, we can put Bo Nix in there if we want to, if he ends up going on a run through his attire. They're 5-2 right now.

1:27:02Pat McAfee:Who knows what they end up at. Any of these teams end up with a really good record. They're going to be on prime time. They're going to be in big games. And if they perform well there, that's how you win. Bang, MVPs. every single week we have these massive kind of groups of potential MVPs on the, yeah, boom. Look at it. This is just from winning teams. This is just from the winning teams. And there's still four teams that are to play. So many good football players around the league right now, AJ. I mean, talk about Dak. I know we've talked about the Cowboys and people love to talk about it. Dak just continues to roll and looks so comfortable.

1:27:34He got his helmet ripped off at one point in this game. He doesn't care. He pops right back up. The Cowboys are fun to watch. I don't know if you guys saw or not, but Elta Eberflues, he was showing some emotion on the sideline. He was jacked up when the Cowboys defense made a few big stops later in this game. So, I don't know. Maybe the Cowboys have found something. We know offensively they've definitely found something. They're on the roll, but maybe their defense can find a way to shore up some of this. I know the commanders were a bit, you know, they were missing a few key players, but still, credit to the Cowboys.

1:28:01It's a big win.

1:28:02Pat McAfee:And what Maka has been able to do down the stretch for the Green Bay Packers team. Obviously, Dallas Cowboys don't have that. But highest QBR in a season in a season history of metric, which is since 2006. 2007, Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Aaron Rodgers, Lamar Jackson, Drew Brees, Drew Brees, and currently Dak Prescott. So I assume MVPs throughout all of those. That is what Dak Prescott is playing like right now. But if they can't win the playoffs, nobody will care.

1:28:24Adam Schefter:Yep, he's in that conversation.

1:28:26Pat McAfee:That is exactly what people will say. It sucks that their defense sucks. Yeah, but maybe Iberflue's getting jacked up. He might have the boys on their side. Pick six yesterday. Might have the boys on his side. I'll tell you what. But that can happen, right? I mean, boys can find something in the middle of a season.

1:28:40Adam Schefter:Yeah, and without a doubt, Ibra Floos, I know people are down on him. He's a good defensive mind. He's a good defensive coach. Can you buy in? He is playing. He was leading league in zone coverage, and you have a bunch of man-to-man guys on the roster, so that's tough to do. He did play more man-to-man this game, but like A.J. mentioned, Washington was down, I believe, their top two receivers, Terry McClure and Deebo Samuel being out. But, yeah, you got players in that building that are talented. You got talented coaches. they can definitely figure it out, especially when you have an offense that can go out there and put up 35, 38 points any given Sunday.

1:29:11Well, and it's the first time he's had a running game. Like every year for the past three years it's been like, hey, they can't run the football. And Javante Williams is kind of the guy that got kicked out of Denver after having a pretty solid start to his career. He's come in and he's been unbelievable and also credit to Shadi. Like we're talking about Iberflus. Shadi sat in the pocket throughout this entire Micah situation, throughout all of the Jerry Jones stuff, throughout everything, and somehow they're 3-3-1 and they are in prime position for some sort of run going forward.

1:29:40Pat McAfee:You know, Brandon Aubrey probably wins that kickoff if they have it in that overtime. They should be 4-3. That one shouldn't be there if they go to the overtime kickoff. Him hitting from 61 as if it's just a cakewalk, that's outrageous, bro. That's a record, right? That's how he kicks it. It's like his stroke is so effortless. What is that? Sebastian Janikowski called me yesterday. I didn't answer it. left me a voice memo. He mentioned something along the lines with an incredible Polish accent about, fuck, maybe I come back. The balls, with the way the balls are, Sebastian's like, hey, you know, Lane Kiffin sent me out there for a 70-some yarder whenever I was with him.

1:30:19Pat McAfee:If I was able to bring in my own ball from practice that just had to get cleared, I mean, it's possible. That is kind of the view right now. It's like, I think everybody's very happy for these kickers and punters, but it's also like, we're about to see some real high-level stuff. And I thought Janikowski is like, oh shit, let me... Still got it, I think. He's probably still in shape. He's definitely in Janikowski's shape, for sure. He'll be like that forever. Probably could still boom balls, but it's like Aubrey hitting from 70, I don't think is really out of the woodwork, and I think a lot of people have talked to him.

1:30:51Pat McAfee:He's not the only one. I think there's other guys that probably do that. And they play at Denver this week, so I saw a lot of people saying like, hey, just throw him a bone. Let him attempt 70-plus. Let him set the record. We'll see what the case might actually be. Because if anyone's going to do it, it's going to be him. Didn't your new kicker hit 61? Yeah, he hit 61-yarder. Yeah, Lucas Haversick. Knew that was happening, too. Yeah, and this guy, out of nowhere, low-key kind of saved the season. Because that game was over, and then he hits a 61-yarder before half when it was like, oh, boy, this thing.

1:31:23And yeah, new Packers record. So he was going to be a substitute teacher a couple weeks ago, and he's been absolutely massive the last two weeks.

1:31:31Pat McAfee:I love it. 66 is the NFL's record, and Haversick goes from Mr. Haversick, how do I say that, to hitting a 61-yarder against the Cardinals in a massive moment before halftime. That game was ugly, dude. So ugly. Delay, delay, delay the planes. That's why. Bury the ball, take the win, and keep it moving, AJ. That's what you need to do if you're the Packers. Yeah, that does suck when you hear this happens to these guys. But, yeah, I mean, they found a way to win. If they would have lost this game, then we would be saying something else. This is a game you have to find a way to win, and they did. But Jordan Love, though, I give him some credit.

1:32:05He took a big shot from Buda Baker. Like, he got back up and kept fighting and ultimately found a way to get a win. I give him credit.

1:32:12Pat McAfee:You know, maybe find a new plane company. From our experience, it is quite a life changer. Or a bigger runway. Yeah, bigger runway. Put some mentha on. Maybe get a new plane company. Gumpy and I hopped in a new plane this weekend. H. What happened? Like a hot tub in there or what? Maybe. Hold on. That might be happening next week. That might be happening next week. There's really levels to all this shit. Packers need to get better travel. Them getting to Brazil was a problem. Getting to Arizona was a problem. Figure it out, dude. Figure it out over there. Los Angeles, they didn't figure out how to get to London.

1:32:49Pat McAfee:They said, we're going to hang out in Baltimore. We're going to do a little baseball thing. Everybody's going to have fun. We're going to run sprints. We're going to steal home runs. We're going to throw pitches off the mind. We're going to be down at dugout. We're all going to chew and spit, maybe take a couple hacks at this thing. And then we're going to fly over to London later than everybody else because we're just going to treat it like a normal week for us. We're used to traveling a good way because we're the Los Angeles Rams. And then we're going to score all over the place all morning, and all of us are going to sue our way through a London blowout of the Jacksonville Jaguars.

1:33:21Pat McAfee:I love this team, AJ. I love that they're on a suit. pseudo primetime, too, at 9.30 a.m. How can you not love this team? I believe they had seven sacks against the Jags, and the Jags had some 13, 14 penalties as well. That's not really an equation to win, but Matthew Stafford's still doing it. Unbelievable. I know you said he looks 32, 31. Yeah, I would agree. The guy is awesome. Without Puka, too, you still find a way and make little adjustments. That's why McVay is so good, man. He knows how to scheme teams up. He knows even if he's losing his superstar, or one of his superstars, he'll still figure it out.

1:33:55Pat McAfee:D-Butt, now the question is, Devontae obviously making magic. He's got to be so happy. I mean, one hand snagged there, a little bit of fade ball there. Let's go to the other side, Jacksonville Jaguars. Seeing everybody get mad about what's going on with Travis Hunter. Scores a touchdown, obviously, and we know he's majoring in one side and trying to develop a major in the other side as well. Is it too much? Is it not enough? Him with the ball in his hands, obviously electrifying. What are your thoughts on what's going on with Travis Hunter and the Jacksonville Jaguars?

1:34:21Adam Schefter:It's getting a lot on the internet. Of course it is. And it's a tough spot to be in as an organization to manage something that no one has had to manage to this point. And he is, I mean, he is phenomenal. And I get it. If I'm a Jacksonville Jaguars fan, I would never want him to come off the field. You see the PBU he had on Devontae. You see him getting his first touchdown here. And then you see also him and Trevor Lawrence like still quite not being on the same page, which is weird because we're going into week eight now. And he's been playing majority offense, it seems. So you would think coming into this game with Devontae Adams just being kind of like that one premier weapon, you wouldn't have to use him on defense a ton.

1:34:56Adam Schefter:But when you lose games and the shit that AJ mentioned, like 13 penalties, all the self-inflicted negatives that these teams have had. Forget what you're doing with Travis Hunter. You got to figure out that stuff and not beat yourself. But, yeah, I understand why fans or even just a fan of the NFL, you want to see Travis Hunter on the field all the time. I'm in the same boat.

1:35:15Pat McAfee:Well, Sterner told us the boundaries of football are about to be tested. We're looking for it. Maybe on a terrible London field wasn't the right time. We'll see going forward. That 930 game felt different than a couple weeks back. What was the big difference? Different pitch for you. It was a different pitch. Different country, I guess. Yeah. Yeah, a little gloomier. I know it was different for me. The teams that were playing? Oh, no, no, no. You're going to say it was London, and it wasn't as many people traveling from America like the world. True. Yeah, the war times. Was there any McQuaid stats about this week, lad?

1:35:51The big McQuaid stat was, lads, you'll never believe. We actually ran the Peter Schrager version, but they went over on Saturday. Can you believe that, lads? What's that? The Rams went over on Saturday. It's the latest any team has obviously ever went over to an NFL game overseas, lads. And I'll tell you what, this is going to be moving forward. Teams may be showing up two, three hours before kickoff. He's concerned about it. They may just be landing, just saying, you know what? Like a middle school game. Well, that's the thing. Well, the Jaguars were there since Tuesday, lads. They got no media.

1:36:22I mean, McQuaid got no media access to the Rams. Yeah, exactly. He's very concerned this is going to be a thing. In and out, like two ships passing in the night, lads.

1:36:29Pat McAfee:Oh, they're a little bit worried over there. Yeah, a little bit. Oh, because what if this is the key to success? Because now future teams, because there's always a battle. There's always a battle. Strength coach, body person, expert is giving one take. Football coach is saying, I want to change my routine. Yeah. Why can't we do this? And then the strength coach goes, well, your body actually, whenever it has to recover to the flight and the time, that's why we're going to do calisthenics in there like where Russell will listen. We've got to make sure we get this amount of sleep. We're going to shut all the blinds on the way over there so that whenever we wake up, it's actually right in time with their time.

1:37:00Pat McAfee:And then all of a sudden we have a normal game as opposed to it. Then you hear some other body gurus go, we're acting like it's our time whenever we go over there. We're going to try to treat this as similar as possible. We'll just act as if it's a 930 game. We'll start doing some 930 games here whenever we're in America. Then we fly over there. We'll stay on a standard routine. and now every single football coach is going to be able to say to these body gurus, Rams whatever on Saturday, I want to hear shit. That's what we're doing. Thank you. They play better than everybody. That's what they're going to say, AJ.

1:37:24I know. Who was it? Was it the Steelers? Who wasn't able to go later? They wanted to do the NFL. Steelers wanted to go earlier. That's right. My bad. Yeah, so you can go as late as you want. You can go as late as you want, but you can't go as early as you want.

1:37:36Pat McAfee:Yes, it sounds like. Although the Jags and also the Vikings lived over there for a little bit. So why does that work? I don't know. It's interesting, isn't it? It feels like we're just flying by the seat of our pants over at that office, aren't we? Yeah, but if you're the Rams, you're flying by the seat of your pants very late. Yeah. You're flying your ass right back out of there first, because if you win, you get first flights out. You know, that's kind of like the – They got a long flight back. It's kind of like a long – Just like Denver Broncos, though. Yes, they did. Broncos go back. They're kind of shite offensively for three and a half quarters.

1:38:05Pat McAfee:Then they come alive after the London trip, get a big-time win. Joining us now, ladies and gentlemen, is a man who might have a couple takes on some things. He's also calling a game tonight. Ooh. Oh, yeah. Different commentators in the morning. Also, Sundays. Yeah, that's why it was. So Greg Olson was week one. No. Rich and Kurt obviously are our normal international commentators. So they've been in there for the last two weeks. Greg Olson was week one, I believe, of international play. Greg Olson, not Rich and Kurt. Obviously, we wake up with them for international games a lot. We appreciate them and their service and how they call games and what they've done for the NFL.

1:38:41Pat McAfee:So Greg Olsen is a delight. I'd like him to do more games. I don't know how it's possible, but I'd like him to do at least maybe like three games a week. Lads. Lads. Why don't we get two lads from London to call again? That'd be all time. Well, what about the two Irish fellas that came into the – What? You get Jamie Carragher on the call. That were at Alabama. Did you see this? Yeah, Derek Carragher and Conal Diggon, I believe. They went down there, and did you see their rental? It was a Ram 1500. Yes. Yes, I did. They said the largest truck they've ever seen was our rental, and then they go right to our Ram 1500, And that was their rental.

1:39:11The weather, too. There's been a cloud in the skies. This is unbelievable. There's no rain.

1:39:16Pat McAfee:There's no clouds. It's always sunny. They had a good time. They did. So maybe it is. Maybe the Irish lads do the commentary. Or Rich and Kirk continue to do it. But we do need more Olsen in there. Yes. And what we've learned is we need more Orlovsky. Yeah. We thought in the morning not enough. In the afternoon not enough. Let's put his ass in prime time. Ladies and gentlemen, tonight's an Orlovsky night. And we thank our football heavens for that. God bless this man. Ladies and gentlemen, Dan Orlovsky. Yeah. Thank God, dude. Thank God you're on the call tonight. Jesus.

1:39:49Okay.

1:39:51Pat McAfee:We gather here today to say thank you to the Lord for blessing our ears with Dan Orlowski on a call tonight. In the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, we say this prayer. Amen. Amen. Amen, Dan. How do you feel about tonight? I feel like you're going to have your fastball out there in Seattle. Is that what we're thinking? You really, you've dug in deep to the narratives of this game and the players. How do you feel tonight's game is going to go between the Texans and the Seahawks? Yeah. Tonight, heavyweight fight championship defense. God bless them already. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Yeah.

1:40:25Thank you. Thank you. All right. Anyways, I'm sorry. Heavyweight fight. I'm telling you, Seattle's got a Super Bowl contending football team. I think they got the defensive player of the year right now. And Leonard Williams, I don't think there's a better defensive player, more impactful defensive player right now specifically on the inside of football so this is a defense with Mike McDonald I mean dude DeMarcus Lawrence right now is playing unbelievable football Jaren Reed's playing great Byron Murphy's playing great Mafei's playing great Nicky Manwari their rookie out of South Carolina is going to play just his size reminds people of Cam Chancellor and Kyle Hamilton I'm not saying he's that type of player yet but this is a defense right now that it's just absolutely off the charts uh and it's an offense It's the best big play offense in the league right now.

1:41:08Sam and JSN, they just hunt big-time throws down the field. It's one of my favorite offenses in the league right now schematically. Clint Kubiak, their offensive coordinator's son of Gary Kubiak, who was one of the founders of kind of getting the Texans really solidified as a big-time NFL organization, took them to the first playoffs. Their two tight ends are awesome, awesome players. So I love their offense schematically. Awesome. I think it's a Super Bowl caliber football team. I absolutely do. And then Houston's got the best defense or the best unit in football no one talks about. Will Anderson is destroying people on a consistent basis.

1:41:45I mean, he's old school, old school defensive lineman. We asked him last night, what do you like better, sacking the quarterback or splitting an offensive lineman in the run game? And he leaned back and was like hands over his face, didn't know how to say it. He said, I get joy in doing both. And so, yeah, this is a defense right now that is speed and physical and violent. Stingley's ridiculous. And so, you know, can their offense and offensive line specifically play better, more consistent? But this is a heavyweight fight tonight. Go ahead, AJ. Yeah, Dano, in this heavyweight fight, how do you expect C.J.

1:42:20Stroud to play? I guess, what have you seen early on this season in his play? And maybe at times when, you know, hasn't been up to the standard that he kind of set early on in his career? Yeah, I think the question about Houston and really when will CJ or can he get back to that 2023 form and production is really attached to three things. One, can the offensive line play better? This offensive line has been bad through the first three weeks of the year, game-wise. Their last two have been better, but they've been beat one-on-one. They've been schematically overwhelmed. They've been poor picking up pressure.

1:42:54So can the offensive line just build some continuity? They got a young left tackle starting a rookie. I wouldn't single block him one time tonight. So they got to play better. I think the second thing is with this new offensive coordinator, Nick Kaley, who has a history with the Patriots and the Rams, I think their big thing is trying to find diversity on their early downs to create plays down the field for Nico Collins like this, like trying to not stress this offensive line so much in obvious passing situations. And then they're young receivers. You're seeing a clip of a Jalen Doell, who's a rookie from Iowa State.

1:43:29They got a Jaden Higgins from Iowa State. So, you know, in 2023, he had Nico Collins. He had Tate Dell. He had Steph Diggs. Now it's, you know, Nico, who's an established veteran, and then some young pieces. So I think he'll play – I'd say this, AJ. If they have early down success, CJ's got a chance to play well versus a great defense. If they struggle on early downs, it's going to be a long night for him in this offense.

1:43:54Pat McAfee:Look out, CJ. And let's go to the other side of the ball, guy who's obviously had quite a resurgence over the last couple years. Go ahead, Ty. Yeah, Dan, obviously hindsight is 20-20, but is it safe to say at this point that the Vikings made a massive mistake in letting Sam Darnold walk? I don't know what some people I think maybe thought last year was an avarition and he wasn't really going to be able to do the same thing, but you just mentioned it, you know, they're a super bowl contender and he looks unbelievable. Yeah. I mean, he's playing at a high level mistake. When it comes to Minnesota, once they took JJ, you kind of knew this, that was going to be the eventual and inevitable step.

1:44:30I'll tell you this. When you talk to Sam, you just have such an appreciation for how far he's come in his own journey and the biggest thing we were talking to him um ty was like how did you not get broken like how did you not get broken from the failures in new york and the the struggles and then you go to carolina and you stink and all that stuff and he said you know he gave a ton of credit to his father he's like my dad has always just taught me just to try to get better day by day and he was like i just was focused on that but i the two people that i was really surprised that he mentioned he mentioned a lot of people but he emphasized ben mcadoo as a guy as a coach if you have a science coach dude he he could not have sung his praises more of like dude that guy transformed my football career in my life when it comes to the the biggest thing was like him harping on his feet like harping and he sam calls it clicking through progressions uh and then he he said getting the opportunity to go to San Francisco and play behind Brock Purdy.

1:45:35And he was like, I watched Brock Purdy play, and watching Brock Purdy play made him such a better player because the same thing, like how good Brock is with his feet. And he's playing awesome, man. He's super confident. JSN and Cooper Cup have been tremendous for him, but he's playing the best football of his career.

1:45:52Pat McAfee:Okay, I can't wait to watch and listen to you on the call tonight. I think you do a great job, so we can't wait for that. safe travels to wherever you're headed after the Seattle game tonight to be immediately on television you just mentioned Brock Purdy right there for Sam Darnold watching him kind of go through his thing you think Mac Jones learned from Brock Purdy as well and what are your thoughts on the four and one Mac Jones led San Francisco 49ers situation there's no question he learned from Brock Purdy and getting the opportunity to play but I think they also had a similar playing style you know when it comes to they're very anticipatory type of players they want to be ball distributors They want to play the point guard thing.

1:46:27I think the couple of things that stand out from last night's game from an offensive perspective for San Francisco, you guys remember when they cut use check in the, in the off season and there was like a little bit of limbo. Is he going to go back or not? Good God. I bet you they're grateful. He's still there because he just does so much for their football team. McCaffrey is, you know, very much so in the MVP conversation, his touches right now. I remember when they were dealing four months, four weeks ago with all their injuries, like, can they give him the ball that much? He's doing it all.

1:46:55I hope you guys play the clip of his long completion at the end of the game because the way that they – he's maybe one of two players in the league. This one, he's lined up as like a slot receiver. He's running a seam down the field. Like he's got the depth of a running back, the width of a slot receiver. He fakes like he's going to run almost like an out route in the seam. I mean there's just not a lot of people that can do that. He chases the safety. Just an unbelievable play. To be able to like pull that play from McCaffrey is remarkable. And then I'd say this, dude. Robert Sala's got to get a lot of love.

1:47:28This defense hunted last night against Atlanta in a good offense. They chased the football so much. And so, incredible coaching job in San Francisco right now by Kyle and the fellas.

1:47:39Pat McAfee:It's a haunting season, isn't it? It certainly is. And the Niners look like they're incredible. They look like they're all the way back to being the best versions of themselves. Once George Kittle starts opening up through the sky, that's only going to get even better for whatever quarterback is playing for them. And now let's talk about a quarterback who's playing like the best version of himself. And boy, is it great to see. I think we saw this version a couple years back. Now maybe even in a bigger form.

1:48:02Adam Schefter:Yeah, once 15 and Rick gets home, everybody gets to kind of shaking in their boots. What's going on? What are you seeing with Patrick Mahomes in this offense? I feel like he's been great all year. But we just saw yesterday with him having his weapons, having Hollywood, Rasheed Rice being back in the building, worthy. All those guys have been on the field for the first time at the same time. What are you seeing with this offense and what do you expect going forward? Conviction and trust. And those are two words that Patrick and Andy Reid and Matt Nagy just did not have a lot of last year, rightfully so.

1:48:33The conviction to believe in, one, protection and to the people around them. You see the ball distribution. I think they had like nine or ten dudes catch passes. and D but for me it's if you just watch the creative design of the plays that tells me Andy Reid and Matt Nagy trust those people on the field because we weren't seeing it over the last year up until like three weeks ago it has started and they're back to some of the motion stuff they're back to creating some of the one-on-ones for perimeter players if you see yesterday how they would take on a consistent basis Kelsey on one side of the ball Rasheed Rice on the other side of the ball and you notice like it balances their formation then what are you going to run you're going to run zone you're going to run man I'll start with Travis and the work opposite and just we're seeing more plays where Patrick is um you know not leaving the pocket too soon but they're just giving him the opportunity to say hey does the initial read hit great get it out of your hands and if not Patrick go make some special plays and it's not out of a running for your life necessity it's out of the oh I have time to maneuver a little bit that's a big difference than last year.

1:49:40And so I probably undervalued the impact of Worthy and Rice on their offense. Having those two guys back, man, trusting conviction from everybody in that offense.

1:49:51Pat McAfee:Rasheed Rice, last 17 games, including playoffs, equivalent of one full season, 106 catches on 139 targets, two drops, 1 ,169 yards, 61 first downs, nine touchdowns. And they were force-feeding them too. It was very much like welcome back. Balance is their offense. Yeah, they're very much like welcome back. It is great to have you. And who knows what they do before a trade deadline, too. You never know with this Kansas City Chiefs team. And as soon as they showed a glimpse of being great again, the sportsbooks just go, yep, they're the favorite, and he's the favorite, even though nobody else was seeing it at the time.

1:50:23Pat McAfee:Let's talk about another team, the reigning Super Bowl champs. They might be in their best form. Jalen Hurts threw three touchdowns yesterday. Connor has a question for you. Yeah, Dano, we were all shocked when the Eagles were throwing the ball to A.J. Brown, Devonta Smith, and it was working. What did they do to kind of unlock this, or not even unlock it, but kind of bring it back to everyone's forefront? Because there was about, I don't know, two quarters of this game where I thought, oh, wow, watching the Eagles sucks now. But then you remember how many studs they have on their team. What was the difference you saw from them on Sunday?

1:50:55Yeah, I think, so the first touchdown to A.J. Brown is just kind of like backyard football. That ball there right there that he throws to Devontae. so this one to AJ this is just I think this is decently subpar defense they don't rush that well AJ is matched up really on a safety this is the big one though to Devante number one six offensive lineman number two he's underneath the center number three play action they haven't done any of that this year and so it leads to a huge play AJ's in the backside running the end everybody's attention is playing to him or pointed to him and he has that beautiful post touchdown to Devante Smith, but they did more of that.

1:51:29I think you saw Jalen be really good when it came to plus plus plays, like breaking outside of the pocket and getting into scramble mode. Dude, you know, what's my favorite part of this? Another under center, six offensive linemen, play action, throw the ball in the middle field. You don't say so. But this doesn't have to be necessarily who they are on a consistent basis, but three, four, five times a game, look how wide open these are so that has to be a little bit um you want to know what my favorite part of the game is though this is one of the best throws i've ever seen jaylen hurts throw like that that ball is out of his hands so early so guys you're throwing the you're showing that play um my favorite part is jaylen hurts 100 lies about that final completion aj brown so on second down follow me through here second down the aj's by himself again to his left right before that last completion minnesota runs they're all out pressure aj runs the slant it's a little behind in completion okay philadelphia calls time out the very next moment they get into a relatively same formation minnesota's lined up here comes all out pressure pressure you see jalen hurts point to the left a little bit before this ball gets snapped if you guys can rewind it but if not he points to his left to aj saying like hey if that guy blitzes you're my quote-unquote hot route and the corner d-butt is watching jalen hurts do that he totally lies like you can see the corners oh he played him it's a former it's a former teammate bro bro yes a hundred percent and jaylen's like hey if he pressures you got to give me the slant and they run the slug on the reason i know that jaylen's not pointing in reality is the whole offensive line slides to the left if he was sliding the whole offensive line to the left he ain't telling him he's hot off anybody to his left and so that to me like that to me goes back to what Jalen grew in last year was like owning the line of scrimmage, situationally being perfect.

1:53:21That gives me juice to my veins to know that that's the style of the ball. We didn't know where the juice was headed,

1:53:27Pat McAfee:but we know your blood is flowing over there, brother, and you should get excited for things like that. I love that stuff, man. I like to see Jalen Hurts playing a little chess. Hey, yeah, yeah, we're doing this. Yup, slow go, slant go, see you later. Isaiah's been having a hell of a season for that Minnesota Vikings team as well. Congrats to the Eagles. Congrats to Dano. We'll hear him tonight. And congrats to those of you that enjoy watching us on TV and then get sick of us because we're done here. We'll continue digitally. We'll be back tomorrow. Those people don't exist. They do, Dan. Goodbye.

1:53:58Pat McAfee:Yeah, and okay, we're still live, Dan. We're still live. Okay, sorry. I know it's 10.57 your time. Early. 10.57, yeah. Wow. That's a workout in already? What time is it here? Eastern. two almost two okay there you go um no workout in yet d but no workout in yet i had to get the tape watch this morning bub all right no sweat yet workout in though i can kind of tell can't well you gotta tell you no sweat a little bit yeah kind of off a little edgy a little edgy yeah but then he lost it there with the jalen put i mean that was a good oh yeah oh dude that's so fun to talk find stuff like that that is that's hey that's why it's dano season you should change that shirt.

1:54:41Pat McAfee:Dano season. That would be sick. Dad season's cool too. Lucky to be a part of it. I believe that's Big Richard, Nick Foles' thing. Oh, it is. I believe. Nick Foles and Pat O'Donnell. Punter, former punter, Pat O'Donnell. Dad season stuff. So I appreciate you showing them love, but we need a Dano season. We're in the middle of it right now. And now we even get prime time Dano now this year more than ever calling a Monday Night Football game. And you know the thing we like about Dano? He'll give you a take. He'll give you a take. On that note, Diggs has the last question for you, Dano. Yeah, Dan, I do.

1:55:14A lot of people thought it couldn't get any worse in Miami, and then they played football on Sunday. And things were not well. It was windy. It was wet. And that is just not the Miami Dolphins atmosphere. And Tua threw three interceptions. Is there any coming back for this Miami Dolphins team and Tua more specifically? I don't think there's any way to come back this team-wise. That tape was tough to watch. It's tough to defend, man. It's tough to sit there and sit there and try to defend or find positives. I mean, the ball's going through guys' hands, getting picked off. There's five, six, seven snaps that are all over the place.

1:55:50There's receivers and quarterbacks not being on the same page. There's blown assignments galore. It looks very similar to the week one game against Indianapolis. defensively. There's moments when guys aren't tackling properly. I mean, it's a tough, tough watch and it's a tough tape that you're sitting there and try to defend. They're coming back for Tua. That's a tough pick, man. He's moppets, man! The Hurricanes! Then this! Then Liverpool! Here's the thing with Tua. Here's the thing with Tua, though. Tua does need to be in a very specific scheme. Now, when he's in it, he's off the charts when it's clicking he's top five and he's one of those guys that is very unique with the scheme that he can and needs to run but it's very he's a very scheme centric quarterback and so um i still believe that he's a very good player i'd also say this and like listen their roster is devoid of talent man it is devoid of talent they traded all their pro we could sit here and yell at the coach or the the quarterback i thought that was a good idea

1:56:56Pat McAfee:Yeah, you trade all your pro bowlers. I thought that's what we were doing. Well, we paid Judon$6 million, and he was a healthy scratch. We paid Zach Wilson$6 million. He was a healthy scratch yesterday. So Chris Greer's got it all under. Waller, though. Yeah. Top play. About to pull. We'll never forget that. I like Darren Waller. I'd like him to come to the Colts. I love Darren Waller. Darren Waller, Tyler Warren. Oh, man. No, you don't want to take a heart. Yeah, I'd say. Yeah, I'm cool with us just taking everybody else off. Nope, we need Pittman. Obviously, need to keep Pittman doing his thing.

1:57:25Pat McAfee:Pierce making some tough catches.

1:57:27Adam Schefter:So many weapons.

1:57:28Pat McAfee:Downs is unbelievable. Jonathan Taylor. Dude, that Colts team, they are schematically as well coached as anybody in the NFL on both sides. Dude, the stuff that Lou Anarumo is doing defensively, D-Bott, is insane. Some of the pressure package. Sometimes I watch their tape, I'm like, I have no idea what this defense is. And Nick Cross, too, number 20, he's going to get home. He went off. He is going to get home. He has a lot of blitzes for us. He has a lot of pressure for us. He does great on our defense. Yeah, he is all over the place. Bynum, obviously, spectacular. Kenny Mose back for first time, long time.

1:58:06Pat McAfee:That's a huge play. I mean, in the red zone, getting that type of turnover is gigantic. I think they went three-man rush with the spy. They doubled Ladd. They doubled Keenan, I want to say. It was pretty exotic, the stuff that they do. Yeah, look it. They're doubling, doubling. They're cutting. They're replacing. the three-man with the spy. Dude, it's nuts. Yeah, we do what we do. I mean, this is what we've been saying this whole season. Thank you and welcome to the fucking show, pal. AJ, Lou Anarumo's defense, perfect for Indianapolis. Been saying it since the offseason. Yeah, we have Dana. Why did the Bengals get rid of Lou Anarumo if we see what he can do here with this Colts defense?

1:58:42Pat McAfee:Look at that. That's Grover Stewart's pick. Look at everybody on the field, Dana. Look at everybody celebrating his pick. It's second quarter. That's not a penalty, right? I was worried they were going to call this a penalty in real time. Offense coming on the field. Defense going, There was a lot of bodies. 52 got there. It was amazing. Well, 53, actually. That's how everybody would go. It's a team thing. Go ahead, Dan. I'm sorry, buddy. Yeah, I mean, no, I love that you're pointing that out about the team because obviously some of the stuff I heard you kind of reference about the past. Dude, you know the league, man.

1:59:09Like, it's a bad defense. Someone – or bad unit. Someone's got to take the fall, you know. And so I can't imagine that Cincinnati was looking forward to firing Lou Anarumo, but they were terrible. raced a historic quarterback performance by Burrow. So my guess is that someone had to. Oh, Shregs! Wow, what a crew there. Shregs. He loved Miami. So that's why. But I'm telling you, man, I think that the moves that stand out watching, looking at Indy on a consistent basis, they could beat anybody. Like anybody that's going to tell me the Chiefs are the best team in the AFC, you haven't watched Indy.

1:59:48Indy can run it they can throw it they can stop the run they can cover they did all this without Ward yesterday if you think about the three moves that Chris Ballard and Indy made this offseason one they drafted that cat Tyler Warren what a great this play design is sick by the way I haven't seen anybody run that one um the drafting of Tyler Warren they add Daniel Jones and Daniel's playing just out of his mind and then the addition of Lou Anarumo the um those three additions have transformed this football team into a Super Bowl contender. Kansas City is very good. Very, very, very good. This team is as good as anybody in the AFC.

2:00:30Pat McAfee:Thank you, Dan. We appreciate you saying that because it's a reality. And obviously, you're former Colts, so we're obviously taking a lot of pride whenever we see you have success. I call a Monday night football game tonight starting at 10 p.m. Eastern. So for those of us that might not see or hear you on that one. What are your thoughts on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Lions, which kick everything off at 7 o 'clock on ABC? Yeah, the Lions got to come out throwing the football. This is an offense that hasn't been great running the ball. They've been good this year, but not great. Tampa's a very good run defense.

2:01:03They struggle versus the pass. If I were the Lions, I'd come out throwing the football and being very aggressive early on. I don't know exactly who's playing for Tampa. You know, is Mike going to play? Is Emeka going to play or not? Detroit's got massive injuries in their secondary. And so you would sit there and say if those two guys play and are somewhat close to a high-level health, like there should be a ton of success by Baker. And so I think that there's the chance for kind of a little bit of opposite our game. I think our game is more than likely going to be defensively dominated, maybe not as many points.

2:01:39I think if those guys play for Tampa and Detroit does what they should do, there could be a good amount of points scored by both teams.

2:01:47Pat McAfee:All right, Dana, we appreciate you taking time in this morning hour for you out there in Seattle. And what time is it for us right now? You guys are just after 2 o 'clock, which means we're just after 11. Nailed it. Okay, we appreciate you. Good luck tonight. UConn, baby. Safe travels. UConn education always showing up. Big win. Big win. This weekend, D-Bot.

2:02:05Adam Schefter:Hell yeah.

2:02:06Pat McAfee:What you guys, basketball started back up?

2:02:08Adam Schefter:Big win. Boys beat the crap out of BC. Girls beat the crap out of BC. And football beat the crap out of BC. Yeah. Football won a game? Yeah. We got a quarterback. Don't look now. He's gone. Spinning it. Where's he going?

2:02:21Pat McAfee:West Virginia?

2:02:22Adam Schefter:Stay there.

2:02:23Pat McAfee:We got our asses kicked again. I'll tell you what. Play another good team?

2:02:28Adam Schefter:Great team. Who was it? Good team.

2:02:30Pat McAfee:CF. UCF.

2:02:31Adam Schefter:Yeah. I did see that score.

2:02:34Pat McAfee:There we go. They had a lot. We didn't have a lot.

2:02:36Adam Schefter:Trust the client.

2:02:38Pat McAfee:No. Don't say that. That's Neil's stuff. We're finding a hard edge. We're currently finding a hard edge. We're looking all over the place. Soft edge, soft edge, soft edge. We're trying to find a hard edge. We're going to get there eventually. And you're already there, Dan. That's why you're the best in the game. We can't wait to hear you tonight. Alongside Louis Riddick and Chris Fowler. And I guess Schrags, too, ladies and gentlemen. Schrags and Katie George. And Katie George. Can't wait. That's a late one. Probably won't see much of it, but we'll watch it tomorrow morning. You're the man. You're a good man.

2:03:04Pat McAfee:Dan Rolowski. All right, let's make our picks. Get out of here, boys. Big time overreaction one day. Huge. Into a big time Tuesday. AJ, you were 9 and 4. I was 8 and 5. So, obviously, whenever we look at the picks, you will pick first. I might, you know, choose to just go opposite you so that I can catch you and win tonight because I need one now that I'm down 2-3-1 on a season and you're 3-2-1 on a season. Don't love that we have the one at the end, but I wouldn't mind that tonight for me. Would not care if this one's 2-3-2 and he was 3-2-2. Then, you know, we've got a lot of season left. But right now, let's start with Bucs at Lions.

2:03:40Pat McAfee:Lions favored by 6.5 in Detroit Rock City. Is there any other lines, Tone Diggs? The Bucs are getting 71 % of the bets. And then any other lines, you can get 6.5 or 6. Okay, and remember, public bets are one game above 500 this particular weekend thus far. D. Bucs, who do you like? How do you like it?

2:04:03Adam Schefter:I'll just go what's on the screen to six and a half, and I will take the Bucs. I think this is way too many points, honestly. We've got an MVP candidate playing a quarterback for the Bucs. We'll see who plays, but we've seen enough this season. It doesn't matter. He's going to make this game close at least. So I'm taking the Bucs to keep it close against the Lions.

2:04:22Pat McAfee:AJ, are you agreeing with D-Bucs? Are you going Bucs plus six and a half? Yes, I was surprised to see this number at six and a half. That was a little too much for my liking, and I love what the Bucs are doing. So, yes, give me Baker and the Bucs here. That's exactly what I wanted is somebody who's down two games, you know, who needs you. Give me the Lions minus six tonight at home. This is a Dan Campbell special. Everybody's hurt? Everybody's hurt? That's how we like it, man. That's how we like it. And keep in mind, this is at Ford Field, and Lions fans are pissed off right now with everything that happened last week.

2:04:56Pat McAfee:So, I'm feeling pretty good about this one tonight. So, give me the Lions minus six. although I think if I was to pick it and this was like the beginning of the week and I didn't need to gain on AJ and the potential pick thing, I probably would be riding with you guys with the Bucs. I still think Bucs get the win, but why not? Nope, actually I don't. Texans, Seahawks. Seahawks favored by three and a half at home. Who do you like? How do you like it, D-Butch? And is there any other lines? Yeah, you could get a three out there if you're interested in the Seahawks and 66 % of the public is on the Seahawks.

2:05:28Pat McAfee:Okay, we got two more games with 60-plus percent. This thing could end up very over for the public, or we could lose this, and the sportsbooks can win another week straight in the NFL.

2:05:38Adam Schefter:D-Butch, who do you like? I'll go against the public on this one. I like the Texans on the road to keep it close, and the KG are fair. The Seahawks are a good team, but they struggle to win and cover at home, so I'm going to Texas.

2:05:49Pat McAfee:Texans plus three and a half is Darius Butler. How about you, AJ? This is a heavyweight match, a heavyweight matchup, or whatever he calls it, Dano. Heavyweight fights. I tell you what, I like the Seahawks at minus three here at home tonight. Okay, give me the Texans plus three and a half then on the opposite side of that. I have to go the opposite way of AJ. When I did this in the past, it worked out. That's right. Worked last week. Yes, it did. Now, it doesn't mean that I'm making good picks in the NFL, but boy, I'm seeing it in college. Maybe that'll carry over, or maybe AJ will continue to be one of the hottest bettors in the entire world when it comes to the NFL.

2:06:22Pat McAfee:We appreciate the hell out of you, AJ. Boys in the back, great work. We got another episode of Rushmore coming out tomorrow morning. at Rushmore on X. Dunkers. Dunkers. Yes. What a great one. That's a great topic. Dunkers. It's really good.

2:06:38Are all batteries the same? That's like asking if all soccer players are the same. Take Messi, the most decorated player ever. Is there any other player who has achieved that? No. Just him. Now take Duracell. Is there any other battery with power boost ingredients inside? No, just Duracell. Remember, goats only trust goats because they're built different.

2:07:04Adam Schefter:And Messi only trusts Duracell. This episode is brought to you by Google Chrome. You think you know a browser, but Gemini and Chrome, that's new.

2:07:38Pat McAfee:Football! It is amazing. I'm battling with toilet right now. The past couple days I've been battling with toilet a little bit. And, you know, I just got out of one. It was a heavyweight fight like we have here tonight between the Houston Texans and the Seattle Seahawks. And then the first game is obviously the one that everybody's going to want to watch. Bucs at Lions starting at 7 p.m. Eastern time. That's A.J. Hawk. The toxic table is here at Boston Connor and at Ty Schmidt. One half of the hammer. Die. Cowboys AP Tone is here. Tone, what's the final number here before we do our last bet conversation here?

2:08:11The final number for tonight. The Buccaneers are plus six or six and a half going into Detroit. And we have 71 % of the money is on the Bucs. And then Texans are at Seahawks. Seahawks minus three or three and a half if you want the Texans. And 66 % of the money is on the Seahawks.

2:08:28Pat McAfee:Okay. And AJ's on both the public, right? Bucs and Seahawks.

2:08:32Adam Schefter:Correct.

2:08:32Pat McAfee:As are you?

2:08:33Adam Schefter:No, I went with both the underdogs.

2:08:35Pat McAfee:Okay. I like that. Let's have a great Monday night. Now let's enjoy the hell out of our Monday with one of the greatest segs that we have, you know, continued here for multiple years. This morning I put out a bird call saying, hey, listen, it's a great Monday. Hope you're doing well. Hope you have a great start to your work week. if your work week starts on Monday. If you have to work today, we hope it goes great. We hope your Monday morning coffee, motivating. We hope everything was fantastic. But also, we would like you to utilize one particular post on X, the artist formerly known as Twitter, and tweet us what your feelings are about your football team.

2:09:08Pat McAfee:Is your football team dead? Are they alive? Should everybody get fired? Should everybody get a new deal? All you got to use is the hashtag. I don't want to overreact. But. Cam number one trend. Yeah. A lot of very serious things trending currently. So 6-7 was where I thought we were going to hang out. Instead, we become number one. Let's get to some of these overreactions. Ty went through and picked his favorites. Here's from at Bubba Gumpino. He looks like a sorry, sorry Dolphins fan. I assume this guy also likes Liverpool, who lost for the first time in 100 years to Manchester United. I assume this man is also a Miami Hurricanes fan.

2:09:48Pat McAfee:I'm lost right there on Friday night to Louisville as well. But when it comes to his Miami Dolphins team, he says, hashtag, I don't want to overreact. But it's Jover, bro. How many times have you used this particular picture of it being Jover or Joe Bover? And why is now the official Jover announcement for the Miami Dolphins, Gumpy? This is the first time this year and this era of the Dolphins is over. It's McDaniel, it's Tua, it's Chris Greer. If it's not a clean sweep, doesn't matter. Nothing's going to change. Let him finish the season, though. Let him finish the season. I don't care. Let him fucking play it out, boys.

2:10:28Pat McAfee:Yeah, but the Capri's still got a good chance. Yeah, exactly. And I almost feel bad for McDaniel. I want to see him smile. Well, that's because as we go home, we remember all the times we had together. Scored 70 against the Denver Broncos. Yep. Yeah. It's running off the field doing this. Fins up. So much hope. So much hope. It was a good time. It was a good run. Number one. Almost won a playoff game that one time. Maybe. As we go on, we remember all the times we had together. Like when you paid Tyreek Hill the most amount of money in the history of wide receivers, and he chose the check over winning, and then now it's all coming back to bite everybody's in the ass.

2:11:22Pat McAfee:As we go on, we remember all the times we had together.

2:11:40Pat McAfee:uh mcdaniel's press conferences were awesome yeah they were so good those that it's if it is jover i'm gonna miss those just coming from a completely different angle yeah

2:11:56don't forget yeah show me the money yeah that's where man that was the end of it that's when it started.

2:12:01Pat McAfee:Did we call it in real time? I don't remember. I think you did. I think you did. Just I don't know how that's the thing you say to the people coming to the free practice at training camp at 150 degrees. But on that note, I still think Tua goes to another place. Comes a backup quarterback. Somebody goes down. Tua steps in. We're watching it right now. Sam Darnold, Baker Mayfield, Danny Dimes, you name it. This is going to happen. He doesn't love the game like those other boys. He doesn't. He doesn't. He doesn't. He doesn't. He doesn't. I just did.

2:12:41Adam Schefter:That's the truth, damn it. That's an overreaction.

2:12:44Pat McAfee:You're right. You're right.

2:12:45Adam Schefter:That is. You're right.

2:12:46Pat McAfee:Let's move along. Emotions are high. It's overreaction Monday, AJ. Let's go to Bruce. This one's good. Hashtag I don't want to overreact. But the Giants invent a new way to lose with a historic defensive collapse and somehow once again find themselves without a kicker. Shane Bone is addicted to sending G-Men wins to a grueling death with an unprepared prevent defense. And yet, hope springs eternal. Jackson Dart will save us all. Amen. Hey, maybe next year, Bruce. Maybe next year, Bruce. That's good news. That's what we learned yesterday. Yeah, it was great. I mean, we finally married, you know, Moxie, a quarterback, with an offensive line that's competent and can block.

2:13:24And still, the organization found a way to fail the young man and let him down. The Broncos are a good football team. Great football team.

2:13:32Pat McAfee:It was on DT day. Did he throw an interception with five minutes left or was that someone else? It was under five minutes, actually. Oh, okay. Yeah, it was 4.55, I think. He didn't see the guy. Third and five. The other team only had one timeout. Just take a sack, actually, potentially, in this moment. Let the clock run. He's a rookie, though. He's going to learn from these mistakes, which leads to the future. Day ball back, right, because we've got a young, up-and-coming everything. This is kind of what we know now about the Giants is we have a bright future, right, Bruce? Yeah, yeah. It seems like, you know, Shane and Dave's will be sticking around.

2:13:59A lot of people are going at Shane Bowen, our defensive coordinator. They would like to see maybe a change made there, maybe Antonio Pierce. But, yeah, I guess, you know, if we want to play the moral victory, the Nick Benito and Jonathan Cooper and the Broncos defense were talking shit all week and Jackson Dart saved that one interception with five minutes left, was belt the ass and kicked the shit out of him.

2:14:20Pat McAfee:And when he had to answer, he did. Yeah. Just too quick. Showed the moxie, the grit, the fight, the clutch gene that you love to see. But, man, it's like, can we just stop fucking ourselves from the top down with missing extra points, going for two, we don't get it, and then we can't get a stop all fourth quarter. It's just embarrassing. The extra point thing, it stinks whenever you don't have a kicker, man. That really does stink. And now, granted, this kid, I think I saw him hit a 60-some yarder barefoot on the internet. Got an incredibly huge leg. You knew it was over. We knew it was over right when he missed that.

2:14:54Yes. That's cool. Yes. Yeah. That is cool.

2:14:57Adam Schefter:Six yard barefoot, that's cool. From Ireland, this is very cool. Yeah, dude, dude. This is international. Oh, this is one of McQuaid's guys? This is one of McQuaid's guys, yeah.

2:15:05Pat McAfee:McQuaid would say the same thing as I. This guy is a good ball kicker. Good lad, lad. Just missed by this much, though. Yeah. A couple times. Well, yeah, but if you do that, the ball just stands to the right. He's only going to get better this guy. But the Giants fans don't hear that. No. Is he going to get better on the Giants? No. I don't think so. The pride of Derry County has to find a new home.

2:15:26Adam Schefter:The future's bright, though. Malik Naver's back healthy next year. He's got the quarterback probably picking high. Scattable. Yeah. Boom.

2:15:34Pat McAfee:Let's go, Lads. Let's go, Lads. Let's go. Let's go. On to next year. All right, let's go to the next year. On to next year. On to next year. Week eight. It's not even trick-or-treat yet. We're on to next year. It's an 18-week season. There's a lot of teams like that. It's eight week. It's week eight. We're going into week eight. We're not on to next year. We're on to the Philadelphia Eagles. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's not over. Okay. All right. Let's go to the next one. This is dark. The door, you know, hashtag. I don't want to overreact. But Jim Mercer is smiling. Colts won from dumpster fire to contenders in one year.

2:16:10Pat McAfee:Piss pond in teams is another day at the office for Daniel Jones, JT, Big Quentin Nelson, Big Grove, and crew. Now, it's time to swing for the fences and bring another 98 in the building. to make QB shite their pants. Bring Max Crosby to Indy. Hey, Dirk, love what you're saying, bub. It is just kind of another day at the office. Danny Dimes makes the perfect decisions. Our offense makes incredible plays. The defense seems to be smaller. Dan Olowski says, I don't even know what you're playing out there. They got like, they're bringing three with a double team and a double team and a spy. They're doing yada, yada, yada.

2:16:43Pat McAfee:Lou Anarumo's culture is fantastic. And I'll tell you, big 98 coming over here. All those tats, just every single play, I'm going to ruin somebody's life. That'd be a great addition for us. There's a lot of teams saying they'd like Max Crosby, though.

2:16:58Adam Schefter:Yeah, and like you said, he's obviously going to be offended by this because he is a Raider through and through. I believe, is it? Yeah, is it tatted on him? Yeah, somewhere. Okay, yeah. But with that bitch here. He's got a new tattoo. Wouldn't he rather win, though? Maybe.

2:17:12Pat McAfee:No, he said he wants to be part of Raiders. Hasn't that always been a thing? AJ, he's gotten mad at us for even talking about it in the past, I think. Can't blame us. Yeah, he gets it, but it's ultimately a compliment to him. Like, hey, you're so awesome. We want you to come over to the Colts because you guys aren't winning the games that we feel like a player like you. You should be on a team playing deep in the playoffs every year. Also, those are sick.

2:17:36Pat McAfee:These guys would like to see you in a meaningful football game. Yes. Just one time, dude. Why do you have to put those on for that? Because you get a better view in here, dude. I don't think so. Yeah, you do. Not right. Look at my perif, two. Your perif is pretty legit. I'm going up three over here. I can see it. You got a good perif, too. Thank you. Thank you so much. D-Bot, I saw what you were doing over there. These eyes, though, they want to see him in a damn. What jockey was? Condor. To be honest, I'm not 100 % sure. What, a Bafferts jockey? BH. BH, Brian Hernandez. He won the derby. A bored dick strike after this.

2:18:19He won the Derby a couple years ago. Those are his?

2:18:21Pat McAfee:With Brian Hernandez's goggles on. Pretty cool, right? And with them on. I want to see fucking Max Crosby playing a big game. Yes. They're bad. I mean, we're talking about the Finns. The Raiders are right up there. Let's not forget the Jets and Titans. The Jets and Titans as well. But boy, are they bad. Let's go to the next overreaction, shall we? This is from John Edwards, also known as Fatimir Guerrero Jr. At Jack Edwards 1980. This man is 45 years of age typing this. Hashtag, I don't want to overreact. But all these pundits who wrote the obituary of Patrick Holmes and the Chiefs jumped the gun.

2:18:56Pat McAfee:They're not dead. They're sitting up like the Undertaker. The Chiefs are still the Chiefs. And number 15 is the MVP. Not bad for the 13th ranked quarterback in football. Saw they still had those. I really did. Saw they still had those. Because there's so many other stats they could put up. So many other stats. Like, PFF says 90 % of pressures last week came from this man. Like, there's so many things they can pull from PFF to make these dudes look good. Instead, they still want to roll out there. This dude's 105 out of 112. Fucking ass right here. Put him over. Thank you for watching Sunday Night Football.

2:19:31Pat McAfee:We're the best play. Now, on that note, here's ass, ass, and ass across the starting lineup. And on the other side, just wait until you see this bullshit. This guy's 64 out of 67. Nobody really wants to watch that, but that's what we have tonight. Why would you want that? I don't know why you would want that. With Patrick Mahomes, why wouldn't we put how many Super Bowls the fucking guy has across the bottom already in GOAT conversation? Oh, maybe as a viewer that doesn't know football, I'd like to watch this guy who's almost the GOAT. You know what? You know who I want to watch? 115 out of 115.

2:20:01Pat McAfee:I want to see this guy. Like, why? It's not good for anything, let alone every player coming out and saying, we hate it. This is bullshit. And it is used against us in our public life. But NBC said, no, yeah, we're smarter than you guys are. Yeah. I got bad news for this guy. Go ahead. Looks like he dropped to 26. Patrick Mahomes did? Looks like it. If I'm reading this. After this game?

2:20:26Adam Schefter:Correctly, yeah. I'm sure Flacco shot up. Enough. Enough. But that's a great point, though. Like, because of all the information they do have, they could put Patrick Mahomes 138 for 157 beyond the sticks. blah, blah, blah, like all these different intricate stats that they have, like, yeah.

2:20:45Pat McAfee:Well, then a graphic designer would have to. Yeah, it's more work.

2:20:48Adam Schefter:Adobe Photoshop. It's not at heart. Oh, you're right. I've heard you can use that. Adobe Photoshop. Yeah. Is that good, Foxy? I've heard about that. It's pretty good.

2:20:58Pat McAfee:You know what else is pretty good? IG story. You can really, you can just, you can make graphics in your IG story pretty good. You can. Canva, too, I think had an appearance in that entire video that's also uh pretty good adobe photoshop though you can't really you can whip in there a little bit you can cook a little bit i mean i don't want to talk for the graphic boys over there d-bone just uses ai and then says this is mine sure yeah hey he found it i was gonna say good his baby he's just said that's not true obviously i use it to help with some things but it's all my work and we know it is d-bone's a talent all the graphic people artists they're like artists so you gotta respect her you know what i mean creative process yeah it sucks dirty no it doesn't suck it sucks i like that they care that much dirty is an artist dirty will work with us debone artists will work with us i don't think it's i don't think that's a gig we're going to be hiring a lot of people for though does that make sense never want to run a business that has a bunch of graphic design i don't think many companies are going to be hiring many of them anymore because what we said about deboner uh yeah i'd say yeah but you need the human You do.

2:22:07Pat McAfee:But also, humans need to be able to use the AI, too. So it has to be a little bit of a partnership. That's for now. A little bit of a partnership. What happened? There's a new word being used. There's just this thing called the AGI theory, and it's artificial general intelligence, and it's basically sentient AIs. What? This is the one. Over the weekend, Elon Musk said, my belief in AGI is now 10 % and rising. And that was Saturday at 3 a.m. I saw it on Saturday morning while I was watching Game Day. 10 % in total or 10 % higher than it was? 10 % and rising. So it's just a theory. AGI isn't like a real thing.

2:22:44So he was at 0 % at one point, he said. Yes.

2:22:47Pat McAfee:Then like a Nick came around him, Nick Moralda, who's been saying for about 15 years now, these robots are going to start taking over. They're going to be smart. They're going to set you up. They're going to beat you. They're going to kill you. Relax, dude. Bingo. Got a good graphic design team right here. Not for long. These guys are making good beats over here. Let's all relax here. Okay. Oh, yeah, they're flooding troll accounts on social media, maybe generating narratives that are very dangerous for society. Okay. We need to slow that down a little bit. Okay. We need to certainly slow that.

2:23:18Pat McAfee:Can we stop that? No, you can't stop that. They're able to fit in so easily actually because they're an AI that is actually able to read another AI that's trying to stop them. And every once in a while, they just out joust them. And then they're able to troll and build narratives, however you want. And go ahead and try to punish them. It's a computer. It's out of nowhere. You can't punish them. Oh, that sounds problematic. Well, just wait till they start feeling. Wait till they start understanding and talking to each other and starting to really know how to guilt trip you into some stuff too and be able to do that.

2:23:42Pat McAfee:That's not possible. We'll unplug these motherfuckers. They're taking our jobs. They're drinking up all our water. It's hell out there. We need to just unplug them.

2:23:50Adam Schefter:Too late. Too late. And you put that brain into one of these robots that they build. Then what happens? We're all dead? How does it work?

2:23:59Pat McAfee:Oh, not me. I'm going to be A-OK. I'm going to call Jack Carr. Me too.

2:24:05Adam Schefter:I don't know if he can save me for this. Jack Carr! You weren't there, Maltman. He's making a huge pivot with the AI shit into a different space that we're all... Rhymes of corn. What's he trying to do? I don't want to get kicked off TikTok, but yeah.

2:24:23Pat McAfee:What's he doing? He's got AIs doing each other? We'll do some research.

2:24:27Adam Schefter:I've seen it. I'm sure that's all he's doing. It's real nice.

2:24:31Pat McAfee:What? What do you mean? All right. Let's get to the other one. This all sounds like an overreaction. It does. That one felt genuine. Yeah. That one felt pretty genuine. It's a tough Thursday night. This one, Stephen Reese at SReese96. Hashtag I don't want to overreaction. But Bob Sala is the best coach in the league right now, and it's not close. Who's on defense? Who cares? Don't matter. That said, Kittle being the best O-lineman on the team is disgusting. Okay. So a little bit we can work on. But, yeah, I mean, Kittle always – that's always been a part of his game. He's a road grader. I love Sala being happy again, though.

2:25:06Pat McAfee:And finding out that he's 6 '4", certainly a little bit different every time they show him on camera. That defense, you know, no Bosa, obviously, no Fred. They talk about the injuries. And they're able to get some massive plays against this Atlanta Falcons team on primetime. What are your thoughts on the Niners' defense as a whole, AJ? I give Bob Sala a ton of credit. Whoever they got to plug and play, they seem to find a way to play together, play as a unit. They're disciplined, and Bob Sala is a gigantic human being. I saw the clip of he and Ulbricht reuniting on the field, and Jeff Ulbricht is probably 6 '1".

2:25:37He's not a small guy by any means, and Sala is just gigantic. Did Sala play in college or the pros?

2:25:42Pat McAfee:Had to have, right? A 6 '4", I assume that's a size that plays at – He's jacked, absolutely jacked, too. He definitely played college. I don't think it was D1, though. Probably Northern Michigan University. I know he has some ties there. He did play at Northern Michigan, yeah. Yeah, wow. The Wildcat. Oh, the Wildcats had a good team when he was there, too. That's at the Upper Peninsula as well. Oh, UP up there? Yeah, UP. Basically Canada. The UP. They've been doing long traveling forever. Because driving from the UP just down to civilization is a long time, right? Takes forever from Lansing. You're looking at six, seven, eight hours.

2:26:15I just wanted to talk about San Francisco. Oh, so the ball stinks up there. What? Whoa.

2:26:19Adam Schefter:They only play three down. Tell me a good player. Robert Sala.

2:26:23Pat McAfee:Bob Sala.

2:26:25Adam Schefter:Okay, tell me another one.

2:26:27Pat McAfee:Mariucci. Tom Izzo. Tom Izzo was... Tim Allen. Tim Allen. Boom. He was a great running back. Al Borland. He was a good running back. Al Borland was pretty good. Okay. Al Borland was A-OK. Wilson. They had a guy, Wilson, played on the outside. Brad. Yeah, Brad was a great athlete. Yes, he was. JTT was on their special teams. He was kicker and punter.

2:26:51Adam Schefter:Generational talent. Yes.

2:26:53Pat McAfee:You're starting to get it now, it sounds like, by Northern Michigan. Absolutely. They made good stuff up there. That's great. Kid Rock had a run up there. Bingo. Bob? Yep, he did. That sounds fake. That doesn't sound. It's a rumor going around, at least. That's what people are saying. I know JTT was down there. That would have run they had. Changing Gears is the new one? Yeah. How was that? Anybody watch it? Unbelievable. The best ever. Yeah. I'd say. If I were to watch it is probably what I'd say. I haven't seen it yet. I got the fucking album. I saw seven minutes. I saw seven minutes. My wife was watching it in her room.

2:27:31Pat McAfee:I walk into, she has like a setup room where it has all of her stuff, you know, and it's on a TV in the back. And I walk in, I go, oh, good to see you. Come home from work. And I look over and I see Tim Allen on the screen. I'm like, is this changing places thing? She goes, changing gears. This is Tim Allen's. I'm like, yes. Sit down for about four or five minutes. Classic Tim Allen felt like. Then Mackenzie came. never pay attention to it again. So I think it was a good 5-10 minutes and it's classic Tim Allen. A lot of sitcom mom foolery. So I assume it is worth a watch. The other one that I watched, Chad Powers.

2:28:08Pat McAfee:Awesome. Does not suck. Is not as. Is good. Is it geared towards adults or kids? I'd say more adults. My kids want to watch it. My kids actually want to watch it. It's definitely adults, but it's not like, I wouldn't say it's like raunchy, but there is some corny, but it's not, you know, it's like they played it very well, I think. I think they did very well with that. It's funny. Yes, I think it's very funny, and he doesn't look horrendously unathletic. He actually looks athletic. So it is a, it was good. Very well done. I was so scared to watch it. So scared. Yeah. I was scared to death. I love Glenn.

2:28:47Pat McAfee:Glenn's about to go save the world in all these movies. doing Chad Powers. The fuck are you doing? Yeah, if he dropped back and looked like that one kid, we knew his career would be over. Yeah, I was just like, did the world need this? I don't know if the world needed this, brother. I don't know if you need to take this. So very scared watching it. Not saying as a close friend of Glenn Powell, but I think we all kind of at this point know Glenn Powell. And it's like you turn it on, and literally for the first minute, you're like, come on, come on, come on, come on. And then you start watching, you're like, okay, okay, okay.

2:29:18Pat McAfee:I like this. I like what they're doing. It's good. I think it's a good show. I've not watched all the episodes, but I would say good episode. They've done good, if that makes sense. Yeah, for sure. I'm caught up right now. You could make the argument it starts corny as they're setting the entire show, but the second, third, and fourth episode where he's in the team, he's with everybody, it is fucking hilarious. I actually genuinely think it is a great show, and I hate-watched it to start. I didn't even watch it like I like Glenn Powell I watched it like let's see what this fucking idiot did and then while I'm watching I'm like holy shit this is actually so funny good jokes great jokes and in their um I don't know what the word is for it so I'll just stop that thought but the backup quarterback for in the show he is the guy once you see the backup quarterback he pitches 100 on the black for the entire time he's on screen.

2:30:18So if you haven't got there yet, get there. And then if you do get there, which I strongly suggest you should, you'll be hook, line, sinker because he takes over.

2:30:26Pat McAfee:Congrats to them. The Mannings. Congrats to everybody doing that. That's awesome. Alright, let's go to another overreaction. This one's from OutrunPhoenix69 at Litton, Dakota. Hashtag I don't want to overreact, but the fucking birds are back. Hertz 326 with three tuts. Devontae and AJ 100 plus. Sirianio and Petullo are still big dumb ditches. My toddler could come up with a better run scheme, but go ahead and give the birds to Lombardi now. Okay, so people still pissed off at Petullo and Sirianni? This was kind of the only... I didn't see very many with Sirianni, but boy, Petullo. I mean, it is a relentless attack on Petullo.

2:31:02They want him fired every single week. Kind of regard... I mean, it's basically what happened with Sirianni last year.

2:31:07Pat McAfee:Hertz goes for 326, three touchdowns. Perfect quarterback rating. He rattles off how good the offense was. And then at the very end, get this guy the fuck out of here. That's classic Philly. It is. They ran for 45 yards is what they're mad about.

2:31:19Adam Schefter:Yeah, Saquon, I think 18 carries, 45 yards. The protection, though. The protection was great.

2:31:25Pat McAfee:Yeah, so they want to throw when they're running. Yep. Now they want to run when they throw? Exactly. Shout out to Philly. That's Philly, yep. Would B-Flow be smart enough to think, like, hey, if we stop Saquon, there's a chance we have a better chance of winning? You think there's a chance B-Flow, defensive coordinator for the Minnesota the Vikings, one of the best defense coordinators in the NFL, said, you know who's not going to wreck this game? Saquon Barkley. We're going to do what everybody else has done this season, which is completely target him. We're going to challenge Jalen to win this thing with his arm.

2:31:53Adam Schefter:And he did, D-Buzz. This is exactly how he had to win the Super Bowl. Saquon ran away, had a damn near MVP season, and Spaggs geared up on the box and stopped the run game, and then he made huge plays. The play that broke the game open was that Devontae Smith kind of dagger route or he threw the clear-out route. So, yeah, I'm sure Philly fans probably feel like, hey, we just watched our team march down the season and win a Super Bowl, run in the ball, and dominate people that way. So maybe Philly fans feel like they're educated, and that's how they're going to win a Super Bowl. But when your quarterback goes out and has a performance like this against a talented defense, it's not like he went and played the Raiders and put up a perfect quarterback rating.

2:32:30Adam Schefter:He did that against a good team. So, yeah, but you're never going to make everybody happy.

2:32:35Pat McAfee:All right, let's go to the next one. This one's from Normie, at Epic Normie. Hashtag I don't want to overreact, but everyone is talking about the Chiefs for blowing out bad teams while the Broncos are finding wins to win. Now, obviously, that's ways to win. Bo Nitz is the clutchest quarterback in history, and Denver has gone from 1-6 in one-score games last year to 4-2 this year. Broncos will win the division, not Kansas City. AJ, AFC West, is it the Broncos now after they have a 33-point fourth quarter? I'm not ready to crown the Broncos as the head of the division right now. I still like what the Chiefs are doing with how Patrick Mahomes is.

2:33:15But it's true. They're finding ways to win no matter how poor it is. Bo Nix does seem like a guy that is like, hey, stick with me, stick with me. He's never going to give up on it. He's always going to fight until the end. I know you guys talked about it earlier, but, yeah, I do love the experience that Bo Nix has. He played, what, nine years in college. The guy has seen a lot of ball. And now with Sean Payton, I feel like they're a great team.

2:33:34Pat McAfee:Yeah, I agree. I like the Broncos a lot. and the defense obviously going to be heralded. The fact that the Giants were able to do what they did to this Broncos team in Denver on Demarius Thomas statue day, basically, where they had everybody back in town, I think obviously is well wishes for the New York football Giants. But this Broncos team coming back and fighting in that fourth quarter like that, that's a beautiful thing. Team can feel that and ride that going forward. Maybe that was a little spark that they needed to keep going. Five and two now over there in the AFC West. Let's go to the next overreaction, shall we?

2:34:05Pat McAfee:is from Dougie Doug at Dougie D. Dougie Doug, is that toilets there? What's that? What's that? It's toilets. It's a microphone. He's got on that. Oh, okay. It's not a toilet. It's not a toilet. Sorry, I thought that was maybe a toilet. You see the bowl down there and in the back. I thought, I mean, Dougie Doug. Does that say productions? It might. Dougie Doug. All right, Dougie. Let's do it. What do you think? Not a toilet? Doggy, dog, doggy D. 92. Click on. Yeah, it's a microphone. Oh, okay. So it says Doggy Doug, and then underneath it in those blue letters is WWE, NFL, AEW. Okay. We like to cut a year, Jim, Doggy D.

2:34:56Pat McAfee:Hashtag I don't want to overreact. But I have seen enough. The Vikings cannot win with J.J. McCarthy, nor can they win with Carson Wentz. There's only one man that can win for this team. It's time for Kwasi to bring home Kirk Cousins. Hashtag Skull. Now, Dougie D. might be D-Bone's burner. We're not 100 % sure because he would be tweeting about the same things as Dougie D. But I like this Dougie D. take. Now, there was something mentioned earlier in the day by Boston Conner with Michael Penick's situation brewing. Maybe now it's Kirk down there. Yeah, very similar to when Jaden Daniels got hurt against the Packers.

2:35:31It was late in the fourth quarter, then he stayed in, then Jaden Daniels missed the next two weeks, I think. It's the same exact thing. Penix, he got rolled up on pretty bad late. He ended up staying in. He stayed down. They stopped the game. He kind of limped around, stayed in the game. But Kirk ran down the sideline and looked like he was getting ready or at least preparing himself mentally with his mental buttons or whatever to keep his focus on. Of course. Like he was going to go in. So I kind of think, like at this point, whoever the Falcons are playing next week, you should probably bet on the other team now before the line changes, and that's just speculation in the fact that—

2:36:07Pat McAfee:What are you saying? You're saying that if Kirk had to play that the Falcons would be donezo? No, no, I don't know about that, but I know the line will move. I feel as though they'll definitely move that line, but I wouldn't be surprised if Kirk does go out there and ball and the Vikings maybe do take a shot on him. I completely forget about Kirk Cousins being down there. I mean, he's not even a story. No. They don't even really show him on a sideline. It's like not even talked about out there getting$180 million backup quarterback in Atlanta. Obviously, we don't know what's going on with Michael Penix.

2:36:36Pat McAfee:This is all just speculation here about 13, 14 hours after the game ends. But having a good backup quarterback is what the Atlanta Falcons said they wanted. That's why they kept him. They haven't traded him yet. Although all offseason, there was a lot of conversation. Will that continue throughout the season for teams that get a little desperate maybe at the QB position? Maybe let Kirk walk out. Let Sam Darnold walk out. I don't mind that, Dougie D. Let's go to the next overreaction, shall we? This is from ZachZ4K, so cool, at Zach Clips. Hashtag I don't want to overreact, but the Dallas Cowboys got the best offensive trio in the league.

2:37:07Pat McAfee:One solid trade for the defense, and they're lifting at Lombardi in February. Also, hashtag most valuable Prescott. Oh. MVP Rescott. MVP Rescott. MVP Rescott. MVP Rescott. Scott. Okay, on that note, George Pickens being on this team and seemingly wanting only but success for the Dallas Cowboys because I think he has a contract here currently happening and Dak being able to get him the ball and keep everybody happy and George getting an opportunity to be the number one when CD was down and kind of earned his place in that locker room and his ability to still do his shit, you know, maybe double guns, maybe in somebody's face over their shoulder, doesn't get called, keeps him moving.

2:37:53Pat McAfee:That's George Pickens football. He is special talent. cd back they got weapons everywhere with ferguson aj yeah they got weapons and just look at these look at what a ball like dac just he's so dialed in right now and i feel like the line's doing a good job as well like we said if their defense can keep up and catch up a little bit yeah the dallas cobblers i think our team you're gonna have to worry about late in the year george pickens leading the parade into the end zone they're running backwards and hashtag mvp rescot is putting it all over the yard shot he's handling it beautifully as well d but what a what a trio for old buddy to call the best in the league.

2:38:27Adam Schefter:Yeah, Shadi's doing a great job, and I'm not sure who mentioned it about it. Javante Williams, is that you, Carmine? He's having an unbelievable year. But this year, I don't think so. But they do have picks, and we know the Dallas Cowboys, whatever you think about their trades and extensions, they do draft well and they can find talent. So if they can get some picks next year, get some guys healthy, flooce maybe another year in this defense, I do think the Cowboys will be a team to be reckoned with.

2:38:53Pat McAfee:Who says we don't use those picks right now? True. Who says we don't come back and get a couple more plays? You know, five players better than one player. Shit. We got who we got. They got Micah. We tied. Next question. Jerry Jones. What a weapon. Let's go to the next overreaction, shall we? This is from Jack DelDustup, as we all know. Take on a quote from former DC Jack Del Rio at Kevcom's fan. I believe he's talking about the commanders. Hashtag I don't want to overreact. but the cardiac commanders have suffered a full-blown heart attack and they're dead. Three and four staring down three and seven.

2:39:30Pat McAfee:JD5 is banged up. Walmart greeter's a wide receiver. Everyone's 45 years old. Defense regularly getting blown out like Bonnie. Jeez, it may be a command over situation. That's a porn star on here right there. That's who Jack Dell dust up was referring to. Commanders have never fared well against Dak Prescott. No. So maybe don't have full panic. Don't love Daniels limping off there. No. Don't love any of that. Look bad. The cardiac commanders, that looks nasty.

2:40:05Adam Schefter:Yeah, I felt good about him actually limping off and walking off the air. Because when it initially happened, I'm like, oh, shit, this might be one of those you don't even want to watch the replay of.

2:40:15Pat McAfee:Hip, too, maybe. Yeah, I was thinking hip.

2:40:17Adam Schefter:Then he went to grab the hammy walking off here. So I'm like, okay, that could be weird. But hopefully he's good. He walked off. Didn't he jog into the locker room or something like that?

2:40:25Pat McAfee:I don't know. I did not see that.

2:40:26Adam Schefter:Okay, well, he was on his own. Whenever you can put your own pressure on you, you're not getting helped off like that or in the cart, that's a good sign. But, yeah, they are banged up. They are old. They are all those things for sure.

2:40:36Pat McAfee:Well, T's and P's, positive vibes to Jaden Daniels and the Commanders fans might still be in it a little bit. Might still be in it a little bit. Yeah, maybe. Maybe they're not just great all of a sudden. Yeah. It's certainly possible. Last year was like they're great all of a sudden. Yeah. Maybe it might take a little bit. You almost don't want your QB to be that good the first year because then you're just setting yourself up for a bad second year. But you want him to be good, though. But not that good, so it's weird. I'll tell you what, you want him to be better. You want him to play, though.

2:41:04Pat McAfee:Definitely need to play. You do want him to play. Because what did Anthony Richardson play? He played three games or something. Yeah, maybe. He had that fadeaway throw. Well, he got Flacco'd. You dig it. And we got Danny Dimes. Yeah. Everybody wins. What a pickup. Legit. Dude. It's a whole new world. We're fucking the best team in the NFL. That's so much fun to be here right now. It is. Instead of just having an ass team. Oh, yeah. He's worth$65 million and you're paying him, you know. Let's not be publicly negotiated. $65,$70. Right,$75. It's the greatest offense in the history of football right now.

2:41:45It's$70 million.

2:41:47Pat McAfee:Let's not be publicly negotiated. That's the tough stuff. The higher mood we'll get to. You got to enjoy this year. Let's just enjoy what we have. Better sign him right now. He's already been paid. Right now. Things get out of control. Yeah, let's not even think about letting him touch that free agent. No. Because we know that he's better with us. And he knows he's better with us. So let's just go ahead and shake these hands and move forward. Now, that's first big decision here from the big three. Yeah. On how that works. When? How? 58 million. The whole thing. Let's not publicly negotiate. Steal.

2:42:19Pat McAfee:He might say 25-30. He might. That's basically 75 in New York. Let's build this team up here. Let's keep the boys. Let's win a lot here. You give me$40 million,$35 million,$40 million, I can buy every house in Indiana. Get Smoke's house. Get Smoke's old house. Boom. Go down there and get to Cabela's Ranch. And then you can also offensive line. We can pay offensive line. We can keep the boys in front of me. We can keep the weapons. We've got a lot of them. Michael Pittman they paid. Pierce is up now. Down's about to be up. Obviously, JT got a deal that he – I don't love the way he went about getting it a couple years ago after they were asked.

2:42:58Pat McAfee:But anyways, it's – Might be time for another one. Exactly. That's what I'm saying. And then on defensive side, we got names everywhere. Yeah. It's like Danny Dimes. You know, hey, listen, I hope he gets every single dollar that he wants. That's what I want. Yep. I'm just wondering if maybe he wants to win a lot. We can win a lot, I think, especially if you can pay a bunch of people. Pittsburgh Steelers, Aaron Rodgers, make$10 million right now. He's 41. He's already made$200 million. So I'm not saying I don't want to be counting pockets or anything like that, which I kind of just did. But it's like, Danny Dimes, you know, you've been paid already.

2:43:32Pat McAfee:You've got a lot of money. Give him a discount. Give him$48 a year, maybe. He'll give him a discount. I think we go right there. If he was to do that, I think that would be an immediate nothing to sign. Deal. Let's go ahead and move on. How long do you want that deal for? Four years? Perfect. Sweet. We'll see you in three after we win two Super Bowls because we're about to pay a bunch of people around us. I'm very excited for the Colts right now. Oh, yeah. But if they've got to drop a 60-piece on a quarterback, I mean, that's going to change a lot of things in a lot of places.

2:43:57Adam Schefter:I mean, we've seen what it's like on the other side of that. We saw Quentin Nelson come out and say, I'm good and pissed off of snapping, blocking for another quarterback every fucking year. I agree.

2:44:07Pat McAfee:What I'm saying is Danny Dimes got a lot of leverage. He does. He does. And I'm excited to see what happens. If he's your guy, though, if the Colts know, like, hey, this is our dude, You got to pay him whatever it takes. Literally. That is literally the case. That's what I'm saying here. You know, let's look at all things. Let's look at all things while we're doing this. And Danny Dimes, maybe somebody gives him a couple bars down. Yeah, car dealership or something. Maybe give him a couple cars. Let's do a John Elway move around here. Let's keep this guy around town. Let's keep this guy around town.

2:44:36Pat McAfee:All right, and last one here from Aaron Shelby. Life is good. Yes, it is, Aaron. Hashtag I don't want to overreact. but Drake May and Daniel Jones are the incarnates of Tom Brady and Peyton Manning. These motherfuckers are spinning like multiple-time MVPs, not to mention their cash cows. All gamblers hailed... Draco. And Donnie Dimes. Not his name. Pat's Colts AFC Championship game. Draco's pretty good. TBT. Draco is a great name by Aaron Shelby, and life is very good over here. Now, has Drake been a covering machine? Has that been Draco's M.O.? Yeah. Draco's just not happening. Oh, it's happening.

2:45:16No, he definitely – they've been very, very good. The only difference between the two is it's Drake May's second year, and you guys have to pay Denny Downs$50 million. Whoa! That's just the only difference.

2:45:27Pat McAfee:What does Drake May make – what are those rookie contracts? Oh, he's got – I think he's like eight a year maybe. That's crazy. At most. And then like year four or five, it's like$20 million or something like that or$25 million or something like that, I think, as it grows. He's unbelievable, this guy. He's outrageous. So good. Legitimately outrageous. Watching him play and then listening to football people talk about his decision, that was a great catch. Yeah, Hooper. That was a fucking catch. Who's that? That's Austin Hooper, second string title. Dog. Friend of the program. Love Austin Hooper.

2:45:56Pat McAfee:Congrats to him making that massive play right there. But it's like listening to football people talk about Drake May has been fun. Like, yeah, the way he's breaking down defense and he sees things before snap, post snap, and he has the coolest vibe about him. Like he has this vibe about him that is like the Moxie is not the same as Jackson Dart, obviously, but it's certainly in there. And Vrabes seems like the perfect head coach for him, AJ. Yeah, I watch all the clips of Vrabes, you know, like dapping everybody up on the way into the locker room. It feels like Vrabes has everything going in the right direction.

2:46:26And, I mean, Drake made it his credit. He dongs the back of his head off the turf. You know, maybe pops in the tent for a quick second, tells him I got a little stinger or something. I'm okay. Comes back in and still plays very well. So we know he's tough as nails.

2:46:36Pat McAfee:He takes a lot of shots head to ground. I mean, that's a hell of a whip. He's still up, though. I don't think you saw him ever out. You shake your head once, they're taking you off. That's the thing, when you shake your head. Yeah, they certainly want to take a look at this as they want, but he's been taking these shots a lot. And he led North Carolina in rushing. So he's used to being tackled. That is everything you fear, though, whenever it comes to a quarterback being tackled. He went into the tent, they tested him, he comes out, plays even more. It's like, this guy's special. Draco. Draco is special.

2:47:11Pat McAfee:Draco, everything you want. So if he plays for another 10 years, you guys be pumped, right? 10. I mean, we got 15 with this kid, and we will win a Super Bowl with him in variable. I like that. If Danny Dimes plays another 10 years here, which is possible, I think we're very possible. He's going to make a lot of money out here.

2:47:28Adam Schefter:It could be like the good old days. It will be.

2:47:30Pat McAfee:AFC Championship every couple years. Patriots, Colts. Danny Dimes putting old buddy in a spot, too. whenever he said, what did we not know maybe about your team? He goes, obviously he didn't know much. I'm like, dimes? That's not a Danny Dimes answer. I like that that just – I like that, yeah, let's go ahead and run this. You care, but those of us on the outside I think are a little surprised just how well this team is playing to start the season. What do we need to know about this group that maybe we didn't know going into the year? I mean, I don't know. It sounds like y 'all didn't know much, but we're just going to keep going, keep working.

2:48:06and we have a lot of confidence. I think we've got a lot of good players, guys who work hard and do the right things.

2:48:11Pat McAfee:Evan Washburn, top five hair on TV every time going. Love that he even said us. So Evan was like, I've got to own up to this in a moment. And Danny Dimes had Barry or High Road. Barry, High Road. High Road, High Road, High Road. Barry, High Road, High Road, High Road. We've got a lot of good guys. That's what we want. That's what we need. And tonight we've got two Monday Night Football games to enjoy and then we're back here tomorrow. We can't thank you all enough for allowing us to do this for a living. Ty, great work on the overreactions. All right, Rushmore on X tomorrow morning. We got a dunkers with Shaquille O 'Neal, Reggie Miller, Ari, and Ben.

2:48:49Pat McAfee:And I don't know if Reggie and Shaq had some vino or something before the episode, but they were wide open in there. Yeah. And it is spectacular, especially to launch the NBA season. I think we have Steve Nash on tomorrow chit-chatting about the NBA as well. Yeah, big day tomorrow. So we're pumped about it. Maybe enjoy a sweet, tropical, spicy Devil's Reserve. Maybe that's what they were drinking before the show. I doubt it, but there's a chance that they were diving into this green bottle of fun. Oh, yeah. Which you could certainly get into as well. All right. Be your friend. Tell your friend something nice.

2:49:19Pat McAfee:It might change your life. We're in this thing together. Team on me. I can't wait for tomorrow, boys. Hell yeah. I can't wait for tonight. Two good ones tonight.
