Transcript

00:00What are you looking for Sunday?

00:01So I was thinking about this.

00:03After talking of Rabel and seeing how the game played out,

00:07I feel like it's going to be wide receiver by committee.

00:11One week it might be Steph Diggs.

00:12One week it might be Kayshawn Booty.

00:15It might be Pop Douglas, Hunter Henry, so forth and so on,

00:18that type of thing.

00:19What I'm really looking for on Sunday against a team

00:22that's not very good in the Tennessee Titans

00:24is how do they get this running game going?

00:29Who becomes the guy there, right?

00:32Do they start to add Drake May in more of designed runs

00:37where maybe that opens up things for the running backs

00:40to make it be a little bit easier for them?

00:43But the passing game, we're pretty cool with, right?

00:46Well, the passing game is great,

00:47and I think when it comes to the O-line,

00:50they have actually excelled when it comes to pass protection

00:54but can't seem to, you know, we've gone over this 10 times

00:58the last couple of weeks.

01:00But I don't know if it's them, if it's Ramondre,

01:04or, you know, where you put most of the blame.

01:06But they're not able, and I don't know if it's a power thing

01:09with those guys.

01:11Will Campbell seems to be fine when it comes to that,

01:14but they're just unable.

01:15They're either unable to get that hole

01:18or Ramondre is unable to get to it.

01:20Yeah, and I don't know what to say,

01:21but they're one of the worst.

01:22I think it's a trust thing.

01:23Well, it could be, but they're one of the worst teams

01:26in the league when it comes to rushing the football, right?

01:28And when you start to look at some of these games

01:31and you start to go, okay, you're going to need that at times

01:35because your passing game has been relatively good.

01:39Drake May seems like he's headed in the right direction,

01:42but you can't be, and I think Vrabel said this,

01:44you cannot be a one-dimensional football team

01:46because, you know, we'll do.

01:47We'll just take the pass away from you.

01:49I would say the biggest disappointment at this point in the season

01:52has been Travion Henderson.

01:53I know.

01:54Yeah.

01:55Another thing that we just wasted so much time about

01:58during training camp was like,

02:00oh, offensive rookie of the year, revolutionizing the offense.

02:04But it was hard not to get excited about it.

02:07Who could forget that Brady statue

02:09led right into the touchdown kickoff return right there.

02:12It was big, but I think they'll be okay.

02:15I think they add a running back between now and the trade deadline.

02:18Yeah.

02:19I mean, Courtney's lead about Brees Hall.

02:21Like, everybody was talking yesterday about how –

02:24I don't think they'd trade him here.

02:25It's all based on an Instagram post.

02:28I get it.

02:29The Jets would never trade him here.

02:31Not in the division, no.

02:33No, but I think if you're the Jets, wow, talk about a dumpster fight.

02:39I mean, they're almost better off with Stiler and Aaron Rodgers coming back.

02:44I mean, my boy Aaron Glenn, I thought, like, he would change the culture.

02:47And they're saying it's worse this year than it was last year.

02:52So they're going to move on, you think, from a guy like Brees Hall.

02:56They might, you know – I don't think they'll trade Garrett Wilson,

02:59but they might trade some of those players that might be maybe looking for new contracts

03:04or that type of thing.

03:05I mean, I'm with Curtis.

03:06I don't know if they'll trade him to you in the division,

03:09but maybe what about a team like the Saints and Alvin Kamara?

03:13I'd be all for that one.

03:16You know.

03:16What's it take?

03:18Alvin Kamara?

03:19I would say maybe a fourth-rounder.

03:23Oh, sign me up.

03:24Yeah, and maybe they try to squeeze a third-rounder.

03:28What's their record, the Saints, right now?

03:30Are they only got one win on the season?

03:32I believe so.

03:33Let me see where they are, right?

03:34By the way, I think outrage at me because I credit Josh McDaniels

03:38for Drake May's development, according to this texter,

03:42but blame the player at running back and not Josh McDaniels.

03:45I think part of it is maybe the way Josh is trying to scheme up his run game.

03:50Maybe.

03:51But also, you can't really blame Josh McDaniels

03:53when Ramondre's had this issue now for a few years, not under Josh McDaniels.

03:57Not about that, but the ineffectiveness.

03:59They're talking about the ineffectiveness of the running game.

04:01Yeah, I think you were talking about Travion in particular.

04:03Well, in general.

04:04Well, maybe Travion's the type of guy that he needs to be out on the edges,

04:08tosses, things that get him outside, uses the stretch play.

04:12Let's get outside with him, and maybe Josh is going,

04:14all right, we're a team that we want to run between the tackles,

04:18and you're like, wait a second, Josh, that's not what he does.

04:21Ramondre does that, but he's got his fumbling issue,

04:23so when Travion's in the game, we have to switch up our philosophy,

04:28and maybe Josh is having a hard time doing that right now.

04:30Yeah, the stretch play, also known as Greg's tux at the wedding last weekend.

04:34It was a suit.

04:36It was a summer suit.

04:37Did you get to keep that?

04:38Huh?

04:38Did you get to keep that?

04:39No.

04:39We were trying to figure it out.

04:41Did it have the elastic band, waistband?

04:45Yes, very important.

04:47And linen.

04:48That's nice, breathable.

04:49It wasn't really linen.

04:50Oh, really?

04:51It looked linen.

04:52And the linen looked like it had a tough time breathing,

04:54if we're going to be honest.

04:54Yeah, no, I mean, it fit fine.

04:59Some were saying the fit was perfect on me.

05:04I thought Julie was pissed because you looked better than him.

05:06I mean, best invention for big guys, the elastic band.

05:10Oh, the adjustable band on the suit pants.

05:14It's the best.

05:14Yeah.

05:15It's the best.

05:16And oftentimes, you don't even need to adjust before the wedding.

05:20You need to adjust after the wedding meal is when the adjusting must take place.

05:27But sometimes, like, men's suit pants, like, hang below the pooch.

05:33What's the pooch?

05:33The what?

05:34The pooch.

05:34That's the pooch.

05:35What are you talking about?

05:36Well, like your belly.

05:37I feel like men don't really have, like, high-waisted bottoms.

05:41Like, they're pretty low-riders.

05:42No, no, you never wear them.

05:42And Greg always has, like, low-riders on.

05:44You never wear them above your belly button.

05:46Right, so that's why you'd have to adjust after a meal.

05:49Because the belly's going to expand above the pant.

05:52Well, it depends on how big the belly is.

05:55Wiggy, 508 text.

05:57Like, Josh McDaniels is clearly trying to force the running game.

06:02And, like, I...

06:04But you have to.

06:05You can't be...

06:06Think about teams that we have seen.

06:08What one-dimensional football team wins Super Bowls?

06:13It's extremely difficult to do.

06:14You've got to...

06:15Now, you don't have to be one of the best rushing teams in the NFL.

06:18But you've got to have the defense at least being like,

06:21all right, we've got to play the run and the pass.

06:24Because we've seen teams that all they want to do is throw the football.

06:28Or teams that, you know, we talked about Tennessee, you know,

06:30a few years ago when they had Derrick Henry and Mike Vrabel was there.

06:34Like, all right, just take away the run.

06:35And now what's Tannehill going to do?

06:37I mean, 2016, 2014, Pat's not exactly good running teams.

06:40Right, right.

06:43But I think I always remove Brady from...

06:47When you have Brady, you can kind of get away with anything.

06:49I guess you could say the same thing about the Chiefs, too, though.

06:51What's that?

06:51When you have Mahomes, Brady...

06:53Yeah, yeah.

06:53When you have those two guys, you can kind of get away with anything.

06:56Right.

06:56But...

06:56Good point.

06:57But, you know, unfortunately, Drake's good.

06:59And you don't have...

07:00Like, even look at Lamar Jackson.

07:01You don't have to necessarily...

07:03It's not panic time because, you know, last week he had 35 of their 72 yards on the ground,

07:10whatever.

07:11So, you can count...

07:13It's like Josh Allen.

07:14You can count on him to...

07:15You're in the same situation.

07:16Right.

07:17But remember, you brought up a great point.

07:18And this is, I guess, talking about your football IQ.

07:21Yeah.

07:21It's high.

07:22What did Sean McDermott say?

07:24We can't depend on Josh Allen to be able to do this all the time.

07:29So, you can't really depend on Drake May to do that, especially when he's not the runner

07:34that Josh Allen is.

07:36Like, even with Josh Allen and Buffalo, don't they know, like, we got to figure something

07:40out here.

07:41We can't just put it all on him because we're not going to be able to win a championship

07:44like that.
