00:00We're going to transition easily into Acknowledge Me right here
00:02because I want to simultaneously play the game-winning play
00:06and acknowledge the guy that kicked it.
00:08Every week on Monday, about 7.20-ish, we do Acknowledge Me.
00:12I will acknowledge the big performances from the weekend,
00:15both Texans and otherwise.
00:16I will say a name.
00:18Our producer, Ben Gary, will hit the Roman Reigns.
00:20Acknowledge Me.
00:21We will acknowledge their performance.
00:23Here was the final play of the game, Texans 16, Titans 13.
00:2735-yard field goal attempt for the win.
00:31Right hash mark for Matthew Wright.
00:33Here's the spot.
00:34Here's the kick.
00:35It's good!
00:37The Texans win it at the buzzer, and they get back to .500.
00:42They drive down the field for the game-winning field goal.
00:46Houston 5-5.
00:48Another dramatic victory for these Texans.
00:52Yeah, man.
00:52It's been cardiac kids the last couple of weeks.
00:54After the game, well, let's acknowledge Matthew Wright.
00:57First, he gets acknowledged by Payne and Pendergast,
01:01and he gets a game ball from D'Amico Ryans.
01:04All right, and one more game ball.
01:05All right, God been with us a couple weeks.
01:08But when we needed it most, he came and closed it out.
01:12That's it!
01:15Seth, I just want to say it was definitely not.
01:19Not God.
01:20Yeah, it sounded like you said God's been with us for a couple weeks there for a second.
01:23Not that God doesn't deserve the game ball as well.
01:26I mean, Matthew Wright has been, as far as I can tell, at least 21 different professional football stops,
01:33including a stay with the Tampa Bay Vipers back in 2020.
01:36Mind you, that's since 2019.
01:39So this is not, hey, he's been at 21 places over the last 10 years or something.
01:44He is a journeyman to the extreme.
01:47You need to get him on your podcast.
01:48I feel like you and Matthew Wright would have a really interesting conversation.
01:51Well, you know, he was a part of that UCF team that claimed the national championship.
01:56They declared themselves national champions?
01:58Yes, yes.
01:59Okay.
02:00He's not a Scranton PA.
02:01I like to think that he's Amish.
02:02That he used to, like, cook a, like a, he and his father, he and his father used to sneak off into the backyard
02:09and kick a football made out of a chicken, like, you know, against the scorn of others,
02:17and somehow he made it out.
02:18He's got a closet full of Dunder Mifflin gear, you know, Scranton PA.
02:23All right, so Matthew Wright gets acknowledged.
02:25All right, Tommy Togiai.
02:27Acknowledge me.
02:28Tim Settle.
02:29Acknowledge me.
02:30Sheldon Rankins.
02:32Acknowledge me.
02:32I just want to acknowledge all the big fellas in the middle of this defensive line set.
02:36They all showed up and made a play yesterday.
02:39Tim Settle with a pass breakup.
02:40Tommy Togiai, half a sack.
02:43He went high.
02:44Daniil went low.
02:45A pass breakup for Tommy Togiai.
02:47Sheldon Rankins had this tackle for loss.
02:49Ward under center, fakes to give, and he sets up the screen to Pollard,
02:52who's going to be swallowed up by Rankins.
02:55A huge DFL.
02:59All right, there you go.
02:59Big guys in the middle.
03:00I know you were one of those guys.
03:01Chris Myers called him Togiai.
03:02Um, yeah.
03:04As well as I, Cam Newton was doing a good job out there yesterday.
03:09I, I can't criticize too hard, except I'll say that's one of the reasons I can't be a
03:14play-by-play commentator.
03:15Yeah, you're not held to this.
03:16I screw names up way too much.
03:17You're not held to that standard.
03:19That's not my deal.
03:20Well, I'm never going to be good at it because I would mess.
03:22I would be calling him Cam Newton as well, except that I, I feel like Chris Myers kept
03:28forgetting that, no, uh, Cam Ward can't run like Cam Newton can.
03:32There's, yes, you might be able to add some zone reads or something, but it's not because
03:36he's an incredible runner.
03:37Yep.
03:38The way that, the way that Cam Newton was.
03:40Um, yeah.
03:41Tommy Togiai, Tim Settle, Sheldon Rankins, the defensive tackles in general.
03:45I asked AI to come up with a nickname for the defensive tackles.
03:50Yeah.
03:50Cause they're kind of a lovable, no name crew and nobody's ever asking for more recognition
03:55than they're getting or anything.
03:56Okay.
03:57This is a, these are the ones that made the most sense when I asked Gemini.
04:00Okay.
04:01Tell me if any of these are, uh, just, uh, not, you know, they're all cheesy, but okay.
04:07Yeah.
04:07The swarm patrol.
04:08I see.
04:08I feel like they'd be usurping the swarm gimmick from the rest of the team by doing it.
04:12Oh, okay.
04:13The whole team is swarmy, you know, the trench hounds.
04:17I kind of like dirty.
04:18It's, I don't know.
04:19So, okay.
04:20The trench.
04:20I put it on the burner there, put it on the, a little too much like a pea hound.
04:24I don't know.
04:25Yeah.
04:25Yeah.
04:25Yeah.
04:25I feel like a trench hound sounds like something that might be on urban dictionary.
04:28I think, uh, the unsung wall.
04:31Okay.
04:31Now that's kind of dramatic.
04:33It is.
04:34Yeah.
04:35I feel like, um,
04:36the wall fence for me to call them the unsung wall, right?
04:41They do a lot with hustle and everything.
04:43Um, Gemini suggested the silent killers.
04:47And that's just, that's too far.
04:49No, no, no.
04:50Have they ever met Tim settle?
04:51There's nothing silent about Tim.
04:53So that's true.
04:53Yeah.
04:54I like this.
04:54Um, and this goes all the way back to, this goes all the way back to when Cal McNair in
05:002021 said that they were going to build it brick by brick by brick.
05:03Yeah.
05:04Yeah.
05:04Yeah.
05:04This is, uh, the brick squad, the brick squad.
05:07Okay.
05:08That's got kind of a bad-ass notion.
05:09You feel like, you know, Tim settle holding a brick.
05:11He's about to clock you over the head with.
05:13Yeah.
05:14I'd like that.
05:14That's what we used to call, by the way, that's what we used to call the rockets back
05:18before they got Kevin Durant.
05:19They were the brick squad.
05:20Yeah.
05:20The, they were so good at grabbing bricks and then, and then hurtling them back at the
05:26wall.
05:26That's right.
05:27They would grab a brick off the top of the wall.
05:29And Mason would be like, Hey, what are you doing?
05:30And then they just blindly throw it at the wall.
05:32What, what, why was it a big day for Tim settle yesterday?
05:36Oh, no, it will be this week.
05:37Oh, Oh bills going against his old team.
05:39Yeah.
05:40Revenge factor.
05:41Revenge factor.
05:42Um, I'm not going to lie.
05:43I like trench hounds the best out of all those.
05:45I think I might, uh, we might have to think about trench hounds.
05:48We'll ask during the pregame show.
05:50We'll ask the, the folks.
05:51And it needs to be like the bad-ass kind of hounds, like game of thrones that Ramsey Bolton
05:56had that chewed up people.
05:57It can't be like that somber, like bloodhound that was on Dukes of hazard.
06:01It's got to be like some rabid, some red, not gray hounds either.
06:04Cause they're not fast.
06:04So it's got to be some, some fierce, sharp teeth, angry trench hounds.
06:09That's the mythical hound from the game of thrones.
06:12That's the leader in the clubhouse right now.
06:13Whatever a dire hound would look like a dire hound.
06:16Yeah.
06:18I want to acknowledge Josh Allen.
06:22Acknowledge me.
06:22Texans opponent coming up this week is coming in hot.
06:25Three passing touchdowns, three rushing touchdowns in a 44-32 win over Tampa Bay.
06:32So we talked about Josh Allen in, in headlines.
06:35Now I sit here saying, Seth, he's coming in hot.
06:37Two weeks ago, they lost to the Miami Dolphins 30 to 13.
06:41Yeah.
06:41So I don't want to make a Buffalo right now.
06:43That's where it's exactly where the consternation is in Buffalo right now is kind of a lack of
06:48consistency.
06:48And Joe Brady, who our LSU people will finally remember as a guy that's just incredible when
06:54he's got guys like, uh, Jamar Chase and multiple other, for Joe Burrow, yeah, all over the
06:59place, but does a lot of the college stuff of, Hey, we're just going to let these guys
07:03hang out on the outside and win on their own without a whole lot of necessarily scheming
07:09to get guys open.
07:10Yep.
07:11So the, and that's been the problem, but they do run the ball really well.
07:16Uh, Josh Allen is part of that obviously.
07:19And then Josh Allen just making magic happen.
07:21I think the Texans defense matches up pretty well versus the bills offense.
07:26It's just that they are like, you, you, it's not like you can ever go in against a game against
07:30Josh Allen and say, Oh yeah, they're going to shut them down.
07:32It's a third best scoring offense or fourth best scoring.
07:35I think right now in football.
07:36Yep.
07:37Uh, Bryce Young.
07:39Acknowledge me.
07:39Acknowledge Bryce Young.
07:40How's it going?
07:41Everyone good?
07:41Okay.
07:42Ben tacking on the hockey, uh, 31 of 45, 448 yards, three touchdowns, no picks in a 30
07:50to 27 win over the Atlanta Falcons yesterday, Seth.
07:54Don't look now, but because Tampa Bay has lost.
07:59They're six, four on the season.
08:01The Carolina Panthers are six and five on this season.
08:04The Carolina Panthers are half a game in back of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
08:08Right now in the NFC South.
08:09Yeah.
08:10Bryce Young might end up being the guy there, man.
08:12Yeah.
08:12Yeah.
08:13That's a, if there's one thing we've learned in the last decade or so, it's man, don't
08:19read too much into positively or negatively about a quarterback's first couple of years.
08:23But you just gotta, if they get the most out of his anticipation and accuracy and everything,
08:28um, and his maturity, despite that, play it again, Ben.
08:31I love that drop.
08:32Yeah.
08:33What's up, guys?
08:33How we doing?
08:34Everyone good?
08:34His voice is just cracking like Peter Brady, man.
08:36That's genuinely Bryce Young, everybody.
08:38Genuinely Bryce Young, presumably after puberty.
08:40Yeah.
08:40A college senior working a football camp.
08:43Yeah.
08:43Or whatever his last year in college was.
08:45Yeah, yeah.
08:46Yeah.
08:46Six and five on the season now the Panthers are.
08:48All right.
08:48Dan Campbell.
08:50Acknowledge me.
08:50And Nick Sirianni.
08:53Acknowledge me.
08:53Not that they, not that their teams put on a great show last night.
08:57It ended up being a close game.
08:5816 to nine, I think, was the final score.
09:01The Eagles beat the Lions last night.
09:02But I saw this graphic from Adam Schefter of ESPN yesterday because those two were playing
09:07each other.
09:08They're part of the vaunted 2021 class of head coaches.
09:13They're the only two that are left in the NFL.
09:16The five that have been let go.
09:18Five of the seven have been fired.
09:20Urban Meyer.
09:21Ah!
09:22Fired after one year.
09:23Fired before one year.
09:24Fired before.
09:24Fired after one lap dance.
09:26Yeah.
09:27Roberts.
09:28That we know of.
09:28That we are.
09:29That we're aware of.
09:30Robert Sala fired last season.
09:33Unjustly.
09:33Arthur.
09:34Agreed.
09:34Arthur Smith.
09:36Don't remember when he was fired.
09:40But Brandon Staley.
09:41That was supposed to be one of those boy wonder Sean McVay guys.
09:44Brandon Staley, who they very much found out that, oh wow, when you are the coordinator
09:49of a defense that has four future Hall of Famers on it.
09:53Yeah.
09:53It's a lot easier.
09:54It's easy to look like a genius when you've got four future Hall of Famers on your defense.
09:59Dude.
09:59Just an atrocious game manager.
10:01He managed games like my Aunt Barbara would manage games, man.
10:05He was bad.
10:07And David Cully.
10:08The most important thing about football is the football.
10:10You know the funny thing about that, Ben?
10:12You play in that hockey, and I'm guessing there's several more Cully hotkeys in the system
10:16in there, is that the two worst press, or the two, I won't say Dan Campbell's press
10:20conference was the worst.
10:22It was one where people, I think people thought he was a little clownish because he was...
10:25By the kneecap off.
10:26By the kneecaps off.
10:27The Nick Sirianni one is the biggest surprise.
10:29The Nick Sirianni has one of the five best winning percentages in the history of the sport
10:33for coaches that have managed like 80 games or more.
10:37Saying things like this...
10:38The first part of being smart is knowing what to do.
10:40Dude.
10:41I'm going to tell you right now, this is what Nick Sirianni has that a lot of my Gen X brethren
10:47don't have as head football coaches, a capacity to just deal with and understand that there's
10:57going to be malcontents on your football team.
10:59Correct.
10:59And that there's going to be drama.
11:01Yeah.
11:01And I think too often now, because of it, it's harder than it used to be because things
11:06blow up so quickly because of social media and everything.
11:09But, I mean, Sean, I've told you the story before, but back with Tom Coughlin, I mean,
11:14we had, on at least one occasion, a disgruntled player, bring a lawyer to the facility one week.
11:22He played that week.
11:23It was...
11:24Those were the days.
11:25Yeah.
11:26Those were the days.
11:28You've got to understand there's going to be drama.
11:30Yeah.
11:30Don't be such a wuss about it and just deal with it.
11:34AJ Brown is basically staging a protest on social media every week about his usage and
11:40they just keep rolling with it.
11:41That's it, man.
11:42That's it.
11:43All right.
11:44A couple more acknowledgements.
11:45Mike Elko.
11:46Acknowledge me.
11:47Got to acknowledge the Aggies come back from down 30 to three to South Carolina.
11:51They came back to win 31-30.
11:53Elko getting a six-year extension for 11.5 million per year.
11:58Look, I was happy for my Aggie friend, Seth, and as a Notre Dame fan, we're obviously rooting
12:03for the Aggies this year because the Aggies beat Notre Dame, so we were kind of in the
12:06same boat here.
12:08I do think it would have been funny if Mike Elko had gotten a six-year extension the same
12:12day that he got blown out at home by 3-6 South Carolina.
12:16That would have been high humor.
12:17I'm glad it didn't happen, but that would have been funny.
12:19Elko's a really good coach, man.
12:20I like Mike Elko.
12:21And I'm sure you do.
12:22As an honorary Aggie, he's your guy.
12:24Yeah.
12:24And he's getting an extension.
12:27I just get nervous about any big lofty contract, but at least Elko has earned it on the job
12:32as opposed to just assuming that we're going to pay some guy $70 million and he's going
12:38to replicate what he did at a different place with a different administration and a different
12:43recruiting base and everything else.
12:44Looking at you, Jimbo.
12:45All right.
12:46Marcus Freeman.
12:48Acknowledge me!
12:49He shunned Pat Narduzzi, the pick coach, when they went for the post.
12:54He did shake his hand, but Narduzzi was trying to pull him in.
12:57And Chuzzi said this during the week leading up to the Notre Dame.
13:02Do you feel like this is a must win for this team when it comes to us?
13:04I think it's a must win.
13:05Absolutely not.
13:06You know, it is not an ACC game.
13:08I'm glad you brought that up.
13:10It's not an ACC game.
13:11You know, I gladly get beat 103 or 110 to 10 in that game.
13:17They can put 100 up on us as long as we win the next two after that.
13:19But our focus is on Notre Dame and getting as many wins as we can.
13:24Spoke it into existence.
13:26They didn't score 100, but they did beat them 37 to 15.
13:28And Narduzzi, Seth, called a timeout with 20 seconds left to score a touchdown to make
13:35it 37 to 15 at the end.
13:37Oh, yeah.
13:38I call timeout here.
13:40I've got to make the score look.
13:41For a guy who was okay with losing 110 to 10.
13:44That's right.
13:44He was okay losing that much.
13:46It didn't matter.
13:46He wasn't okay with losing 37 to 9.
13:49You know, there was the other Snubville participant yesterday was Bill Belichick versus the Wake
13:54Forest coach there, which I don't know.
13:57I watched it like 10 times, and I felt like it didn't seem like it was any more or less
14:03on the spectrum of what Bill Belichick would do.
14:06He did shake his hand, but he didn't acknowledge him.
14:08It was pretty, I mean, yeah, news alert.
14:11Belichick's kind of a D-bag, all right?
14:13Can we stop pretending that so many of these successful football coaches aren't also off
14:19awful people?
14:19Right.
14:19It's like there's many, many successful coaches who are awful, awful people.
14:25Yeah.
14:26He's an awful person, but he's at times been a great football coach, usually when Tom Brady
14:31is his quarterback.
14:32Yep.
14:32Beyond that, he's been a horrible football coach, actually.
14:35Quite the losing record when he doesn't have Tom Brady.
14:40Unacknowledge me, and we'll wrap that up.
14:42Victor Wembayama.
14:44Acknowledge me.
14:45Dunked on Draymond Green over the weekend.
14:47Draymond's starting to get in it with Victor, and the mind games begin.
14:54Over defensive player of the year, nine-time All-NBA defensive.
15:00It's in to Wembayama with the check hammer.
15:04Rocks the rim.
15:05Fall down the play.
15:06Word's after it.
15:08I think you undersold it.
15:10Like, that wasn't dunking on him.
15:12It was the entire, everything leading up to it, where Draymond was trying to be a big
15:16bad bully, and talking all kinds of smack, and getting real physical.
15:21And when Minyama, it was weird to watch.
15:23I had to watch this a few times.
15:25He's so skinny, but he really was treating Draymond like a non-person.
15:32Yeah.
15:33Like, he was just, like, he wasn't even affected by him at all, and that it was just a minor
15:39annoyance on his way to authoritatively slamming that down.
15:43It was awesome.
15:43Like, Draymond wasn't a factor at all.
15:46It was so awesome.
15:47It was great.
15:48Good job, Wemby.
15:49I'm going to give him a double acknowledgement for that one.
15:51Give it to him again, Ben.
15:52Acknowledge me.
15:53Ben, what's it called in the video games when it's a non-person character or whatever?
15:57NPC.
15:58NPC?
15:59It's a non-person character.
16:00He treated him like an NPC, Sean.
16:01He's an NPC.
16:02Draymond NPC Green.
16:04I like it.
