Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Week 3 Recap & Betting Records

• Records so far:
  • Will: 10-8 for the season
  • Taylor: 12-6, leads the show
  • Delanie: 9-9
  • Clay: 11-7
• General consensus: Decent picking so far, with Taylor setting the pace.

---

2. Locker Room/Banter Segment (04:50–10:00)

• Jokes about appearances: Clay “your bun’s tight, not a straggler in sight”; Taylor and Delanie poke fun at Will’s shaved head and new look.
• Teeth and accessories: "Mine is made because of the grill. Don’t get it twisted, yo." — Taylor (08:00)
• Delanie on targets with the Titans: "Probably 10 targets, I was the only option at times." (11:01)
• Media coverage differences: Titans were under-covered; Green Bay, Washington had bigger crowds, more pressure.

---

3. Tennessee Titans Coaching Situation (13:10–15:30)

• Coaching heat: Is Mike Vrabel in trouble? Unanimous feeling that getting away from Nashville could help.
• Team culture: Locker room tensions sometimes come from players “taking money from pockets”—not producing but sticking around.
  • "Anytime I call you 'Pockets', it’s you taking money out of someone else’s pockets." — Taylor (15:00)

---

4. Picks & Analysis: Vikings vs. Steelers in Dublin (15:27–21:53)

• Consensus pick: Vikings -2.5
• Reasons:
  • Better QB play (Wentz over McCarthy/Browning)
  • Steelers “Pockets” (Taylor): Current state is too shaky, offense lacks explosion, poor O-line protection.
  • "O’Connell internationally is 4-0." — Will (21:50)
• Fun side notes: Playing overseas sucks (jetlag, bad food), but Vikings should handle business.

---

5. Ravens at Chiefs — Main Event (27:41–35:13)

• Line: Ravens -2.5 (Chiefs underdogs at home!)
• All Four Pick the Ravens
  • Ravens are more explosive and “climbing a hill”—Delanie and Clay expect a turnaround despite defensive lapses.
  • Chiefs’ struggles: "Death by a thousand cuts... They’ve been struggling to move the ball." — Clay (28:58)
  • "If the Chiefs lose this game, are they dead?" — Clay (33:06)
    • Consensus: Not dead, but Wild Card is more likely than dynasty.
• Defensive breakdowns: Lions “gutted” Ravens last week, but Baltimore’s potential is still higher.
• Key injury talk: Derrick Henry’s fumble issues, leadership on both sides, Van Noy’s return for the Ravens pass rush could be decisive.

---

6. Packers at Cowboys Analysis (35:51–43:08)

• Line: Packers favored by 6.5, over/under 47.5.
• General Sentiment: Overwhelmingly in on Packers.
  • "Michael Parsons coming to Dallas." — Willie (37:04)
  • “You just can’t show up and win a football game on Sunday.” — Willie (38:03)
• **Dallas defense in crisis, CD Lamb and others hurt; Packers loss to Browns chalked up as a wake-up call, not a sign of doom.
• Browns defensive dominance: Praise for Myles Garrett, rookie Mason Graham, and their effect on recent games.

---

7. Jets at Dolphins (45:41–49:02)

• Spread: Dolphins -2.5, Total 44.5
• Panel says: Dolphins across the board (unless Jets start Justin Fields)
• Speed mismatch: Miami’s offense vs. depleted Jets secondary.
• "Give me the speed on the perimeter over the Jets." — Clay (47:02)
• If Tyrod Taylor (T-Rod) starts, stick with Dolphins.

---

8. Bengals at Broncos (49:17–55:27)

• Line: Broncos -7.5, Total 43.5
• All pick Denver: Bengals in a downward spiral w/o Burrow, offense stuck; Broncos defense praised for pass rush, pressure percentage.
• Bo Nix debate: Is this his “finished product,” or is there more ceiling? "Broncos operate defensively like they know exactly what’s going on. That Denver defense is for real." — Will (53:48)

---

9. Eagles at Buccaneers — The Dissenting Pick (58:16–64:00)

• Line: Eagles -3.5, O/U 44.5
• Split decision (finally):
  • Clay & Delanie: Eagles — too much injury trouble for Bucs, Philly’s offense improved last week.
    • "Second half is the offense—we are the offense we can be." — Clay (59:05)
  • Will & Taylor: Buccaneers — Mayfield’s “mojo” and home heat could favor upset.
    • "Give me Baker Mayfield in the fourth quarter against the Eagles." — Will (60:27)
• Injury concerns: Mike Evans, Godwin, and trenches for Bucs; Lane Johnson’s status for Eagles.
• Fun note: Tampa will bring in 400lb+ defensive tackles to try and stop Philly’s “tush push” sneak play.

---

10. Fantasy/Prop Segment: Touchdown Picks (65:11–66:59)

• Taylor: T Mac (Panthers) to finally score vs. Patriots
• Will: Josh Jacobs
• Delanie: Jordan Mason (Vikings) — “He’s a beast, bro.” (65:50)
• Quick nods to injury fallout, division picks, and humor around “great white hopes” in backfields.

---

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• Taylor Lewan: "I'm gonna keep it 100, though. You fucking ugly, bro. I just can't stop looking at you like it's your forehead. It's like it done came down a little bit." — (05:54)
• Clay Matthews: "Anytime you have a quarterback that is a first round pick ends up having turmoil in his career, send him to the school of Kevin O’Connell. He’ll get them fixed up right." — (18:42)
• Will Compton on the Titans: "There wasn’t a whole lot of pressure... kind of shocking, you almost felt at ease." — (12:27)

Tone & Style

As always, the Bussin’ crew brings a mix of former NFL player insight, locker room language, and digressive, comedic storytelling. The tone is raw—lots of “keep it 100,” self-deprecating gags, and the sort of locker room chatter you only get between dudes who’ve played at the highest level. Analysis is sharp but often takes the long route through personal experience, often peppered with humor and call-outs.

---

Bottom Line / Takeaways

• Consensus: Ravens over Chiefs, Vikings over Steelers, Packers over Cowboys, Broncos over Bengals, Dolphins over Jets (unless Fields starts). Eagles/Bucs is the main split.
• Why: Deeper teams, fewer injuries, hotter QBs, or just that “vibe.”
• Notably split: Eagles at Bucs, with Taylor and Will feeling the Mayfield underdog energy.
• Memorable: High-level inside analysis on team mentality, QBs under pressure, and the difference media attention can make in NFL cities.

Summary:
If you missed it, expect a football breakdown that hits all the relevant storylines—with the side of banter, pranks, and insight that only this group can bring. For the NFL week ahead, ride with the Ravens (for the boys), but if you want to fade the favorite, Tampa and Baker Mayfield have some “bus” support too.

[Clay Matthews]

Boys, excited to be here. Clay Matthews is always as handsome as ever.

[Willie Compton]

You look good.

[Clay Matthews]

Your bun's tight. There's not one hair straggling.

[Delanie Walker]

Hey, for real. I was so upset, none of you boys let me know. Like I had one piece that was falling out. I just couldn't help but look at it. Like when we filmed last week, you weren't like, hey, grease that back. Like no stragglers.

[Clay Matthews]

What do you put in that thing?

[Delanie Walker]

Always like I like a Redken leave in conditioner.

[Clay Matthews]

Yeah.

[Delanie Walker]

And then I put a little, a little, A little gel on top. So that way I don't get the flyaways fair if I'm going to be on camera.

[Willie Compton]

I was. I again. You talk, and when I look at you, it's just Clay Matthews highlights going through my head.

[Clay Matthews]

Right.

[Willie Compton]

So it's hard to stay focused.

[Clay Matthews]

Nice.

[Taylor Lewan]

I'm not gonna cap your forehead, bro.

[Delanie Walker]

Hey. I mean, I. Yeah, that was it.

[Taylor Lewan]

That wasn't it.

[Clay Matthews]

Do it again. Lot of changes. Will Compton has no hair on his face except for his eyebrows. And Delaney in the last seven days has established a lisp.

[Willie Compton]

Is that something that you can take out?

[Taylor Lewan]

Yeah, yeah, I can take it out.

[Willie Compton]

You don't want to take it out for the show?

[Taylor Lewan]

No.

[Willie Compton]

Cause the lisp is crazy.

[Taylor Lewan]

I know. I love it. They gonna love it.

[Clay Matthews]

They gonna love it.

[Taylor Lewan]

Hey, but I'm gonna keep it 100, though. You fucking ugly, bro. I just can't stop looking at you like it's your forehead. It's like it done came down a little bit.

[Willie Compton]

That's fine. That's a very, like. That's a cold take.

[Clay Matthews]

Cold take.

[Willie Compton]

See, I think everybody loves it. That'd be a hot take.

[Clay Matthews]

I heard everybody loves it. Josh Pate loved it.

[Willie Compton]

Josh Pate doesn't love it.

[Taylor Lewan]

Of course. Yeah. He's a bald.

[Clay Matthews]

He's a bold. He's a bold. It doesn't look that bad.

[Taylor Lewan]

No, I mean, he ugly, but. Yeah.

[Willie Compton]

Say Cincinnati.

[Taylor Lewan]

Cincinnati.

[Delanie Walker]

Hey, so what are we doing? Are we growing it back out now? Or is it. Does he have to shave it as part of his head? Like, so what do you feel like when you get to that awkward stage? Like, what are you going to do?

[Willie Compton]

I don't know.

[Clay Matthews]

If he was undefeated on his picks, he needs to keep it for the rest of the year.

[Willie Compton]

Yeah, the do rag gets in today, too. Make sure the weight's coming in right when I go to bed at night.

[Clay Matthews]

Last week on this show, Clay, you brought like, a 90 pound wheel of cheese, and you're like, this is it. I'm done. I'm no longer the locker room guy anymore. But then you sent a picture yesterday of you at a wig shop and said no gifts this week. So what are you.

[Willie Compton]

Sad face. He had a sad face. Sad face.

[Clay Matthews]

You a locker room guy? Yeah.

[Delanie Walker]

Hey, so I stopped by. This was going to be great. This was going to be great. Content. I'm all about it. I stopped by a wig shop and it was close. It was by appointment only. I was so disappointed, though. I was going to get you the clay maker wig. I was going to get you something like Rick James and I Was going to, you know, get yourself on. On the fly. We could try again next week, but I was disappointed that I didn't come through.

[Clay Matthews]

I would love to see it next week. All right, you guys ready to go? You want to talk about how good the Dallas Cowboys defense is before we start?

[Taylor Lewan]

No, go ahead.

[Delanie Walker]

Hey, but the Bears. Are you back on the Bears bandwagon?

[Taylor Lewan]

No.

[Delanie Walker]

Okay. All right, we're off.

[Clay Matthews]

Oh, no. You're off now?

[Taylor Lewan]

No, I'm just. I'm saying I'm not messing with Caleb, okay?

[Delanie Walker]

You're not doing what with him?

[Willie Compton]

He's not messing with Caleb.

[Delanie Walker]

Hey, people feared Mike Tyson with that list.

[Willie Compton]

That's true.

[Taylor Lewan]

But mine is made because of the grill. Don't get it twisted, yo.

[Clay Matthews]

You just gotta take it out. I can't handle two.

[Taylor Lewan]

Cause it's crazy.

[Clay Matthews]

Yo. What is?

[Taylor Lewan]

The girl brought it to his attention.

[Willie Compton]

And he won't be able to do without just getting thicker now that he's.

[Taylor Lewan]

Thinking about it everywhere.

[Willie Compton]

I'm like, when you first.

[Clay Matthews]

When you first got your teeth, did you have a problem with the lisp a little bit?

[Willie Compton]

No, it just felt weird that I had teeth in my mouth.

[Clay Matthews]

Yeah.

[Willie Compton]

Man. Not a lot of winds getting through anymore.

[Clay Matthews]

I know. Oh, my God.

[Delanie Walker]

Hey, can you play with those in the game, like. Cause I see some.

[Taylor Lewan]

Oh, yeah, I do. I did.

[Delanie Walker]

Like, they don't come off. Do you wear a mouthpiece over it?

[Taylor Lewan]

Yeah, I still wear a mouthpiece, too. Well, at the bottom, yeah.

[Clay Matthews]

All right. Yeah.

[Taylor Lewan]

That's just kids show. I used to rock those in the game.

[Delanie Walker]

Did you play better when you wore them?

[Taylor Lewan]

I think. I mean, same. Same shit.

[Willie Compton]

He swagged out from head to toe. He don't know if he has a bad game. He don't know what it is.

[Taylor Lewan]

I didn't get the ball if I had a bad game.

[Willie Compton]

That's true.

[Taylor Lewan]

My fault.

[Clay Matthews]

When did you not get the ball? Besides the 49ers career?

[Taylor Lewan]

A few games. Washington.

[Willie Compton]

Cause you was locked down.

[Taylor Lewan]

You got me.

[Willie Compton]

He was like, what? What was a game where you were like. You made it known that you were pissed off that you didn't get the ball. Whether you said something during the game or.

[Taylor Lewan]

Kansas City. Kansas City game. I think you can.

[Clay Matthews]

Which one?

[Taylor Lewan]

It was the pass where Marcus threw the pass to himself. Oh, playoff. I was hot.

[Willie Compton]

The playoff game.

[Taylor Lewan]

Yeah. I went and threw my helmet, and I'm sure it's a clip because I saw the clip. I threw the helmet. It damn near hit Corey Davis. I was hot.

[Delanie Walker]

Who were the other receivers on the team at the time. This is before A.J. brown.

[Clay Matthews]

Corey Davis is his rookie year. He was drafted, what? 5th overall.

[Taylor Lewan]

5Th overall.

[Clay Matthews]

He was drafted 5th overall. Other than that, were, you know, Derek wasn't Derek yet. Derek was like becoming Derek.

[Taylor Lewan]

Yeah.

[Willie Compton]

Was that Derek's rookie year?

[Taylor Lewan]

No, that was 2017, second or third, 13 or 18.

[Willie Compton]

It wasn't 18. 18 was when I was there. So this was before.

[Clay Matthews]

Yeah, yeah, this is before because Delaney was the only option. Because up until that point, we end up coming to get back against Kansas City. And they played the Patriots and got blown the fuck out by them. And then Corey Davis had his first touchdown of the year.

[Taylor Lewan]

Yeah, first touchdown. We had Rash Matthews.

[Clay Matthews]

That's your boy.

[Taylor Lewan]

Yeah.

[Willie Compton]

Rashard Matthews left us mid season. Yeah. Because they were the boombox boys.

[Taylor Lewan]

Oh, yeah. Yeah.

[Willie Compton]

They each had a boombox everywhere they went.

[Clay Matthews]

Just absolutely battling for reservoir volume on their boombox at all times. Couldn't hear at all times.

[Taylor Lewan]

Well, at one point, he was. He was the second leading receiver, and that's really all we had. So, you know, you gotta. You gotta gel with the guy who's actually making plays.

[Delanie Walker]

How many targets did you get per game average?

[Taylor Lewan]

Maybe 10.

[Delanie Walker]

Damn. Really great.

[Clay Matthews]

10.

[Taylor Lewan]

Wow. Probably 10 targets.

[Clay Matthews]

He really was our only option at times.

[Taylor Lewan]

Dang. For like, most handoffs, too.

[Delanie Walker]

Once you left the nfc, I'm just like, ah. And then all of a. That's why when I checked the stats.

[Clay Matthews]

I was like, check it.

[Delanie Walker]

Delaney, like 49ers Delaney, 400 yards receiving. Tennessee 1100.

[Willie Compton]

He was the man, bro. Yeah, we'd be in our breakdowns defensively, like when we played the Tennessee. The game we always talk about, but it'd be like Delaney would circle, like, hey, you probably don't hear a whole lot about this guy just because they're not in a medium market. This is one of the best tight ends in the league. Red zone threat. He's their. He's their go to guy for everything.

[Taylor Lewan]

No, that's literally how I went. You know what I mean? Every time I talk, they'd be like, yo. But no one knows because y' all games ain't tell, really.

[Clay Matthews]

12 or 12.

[Delanie Walker]

No one watches blackout games.

[Willie Compton]

Jack McPherson.

[Taylor Lewan]

Yeah.

[Clay Matthews]

Yeah, Jack's the one that watched.

[Taylor Lewan]

Nobody know. They like Tennessee. You play for, bro.

[Willie Compton]

When I got here, like at. In otas and training camp and stuff, like, there'd be just like a handful of people on the sidelines, just a handful of reporters.

[Taylor Lewan]

Just handful.

[Willie Compton]

It was like, I'm sure in Green Bay, it's crazy in Washington. It was crazy. There's people everywhere, and it's just like, you come here. I remember a rackpo because he was in Washington with me for a couple of years. He's like, hey, come. Ain't nobody covered the Tennessee Titans.

[Taylor Lewan]

No, they didn't. They did not. I mean, it started all.

[Clay Matthews]

I knew.

[Taylor Lewan]

It started growing. It started growing a little bit. You would say.

[Clay Matthews]

Yeah. I mean, it started growing a little bit. But when I hear, like, comp. Talking about Washington and these other guys. Guys would come in a lot and be like, no one talks about y' all at all.

[Willie Compton]

It's grown a lot since then. Yeah. First time, it was kind of like. It was kind of, like, shocking. You got started, you almost felt like, at ease because you felt like there was not. Like there wasn't a whole lot of pressure surrounding the.

[Clay Matthews]

Yeah. Wasn't a whole lot of noise.

[Willie Compton]

Not a whole lot of noise.

[Taylor Lewan]

You got to think about. But when you sign your deal, that's when they start doing that press room, like, when you walk on. They had that all.

[Clay Matthews]

The game changer.

[Taylor Lewan]

It was like, it's. It start growing. Because I remember at first, you walk out, be like, three reporters. Like, why am I even at a podium?

[Clay Matthews]

Right? Right. Come to the locker room and see.

[Taylor Lewan]

Just talk to me. Now you. You go out there, it was like, 10, 15 reporters out there. You go to a podium and you talk. But when I first got there, it'd be like, three, four reporters, and you standing at a podium like, you got a question? You got a question, you got a question.

[Willie Compton]

Done.

[Clay Matthews]

Done.

[Taylor Lewan]

You know what I mean?

[Willie Compton]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lewan]

But now it's like.

[Willie Compton]

It's like, in Washington, people write stuff, say it was like, negative news. You'd almost not know where the leak or anything is. With Tennessee, it's like, okay, who's telling Paul Kahaski.

[Clay Matthews]

Oh, Paul.

[Taylor Lewan]

It's Paul. Yeah. We already knew Paul. Paul was the bad guy for the Titans.

[Willie Compton]

Yeah.

[Clay Matthews]

Paul loved to play the villain.

[Taylor Lewan]

Yeah.

[Clay Matthews]

At all times. While we're on the Tennessee Titans, since they're not getting any love, what do you think they should do with their head coach? Ooh.

[Taylor Lewan]

Ooh. Man, that's a tough one. I mean, it's tough for me because I'm around the Titans a lot, so. And I'm in his face a lot, so I'm gonna pass that one to you.

[Willie Compton]

Listen, I'll be honest. I don't. It would be more so. Jack has been very vocal about it. It's like, I hope they go on the road these next three Games just get out of Nashville, kind of reset, get away from the reporters, the national pulse, the local pulse. Everything else feels like time's ticking. If he doesn't do something here. Was that true that I read that he gave up?

[Taylor Lewan]

Yeah, he did. He stepped down from play calling, passed it, and then we made the trade, which I'm not sure about. That trade, I don't know. You know what? Sometimes you can't speak about what's going on in the locker room. Cause you not in the locker room. You don't know if that player was like acting out, being disrespectful towards the coaches, saying, you know, we trash. You never know why they made that trade or what's going on.

[Clay Matthews]

You did that all the time and you were around forever.

[Taylor Lewan]

Yeah, but I mean, I was balling, though.

[Delanie Walker]

It's a difference.

[Taylor Lewan]

It's a difference. Big difference. Like you, when you ball it, they ain't gonna say shit.

[Clay Matthews]

Yeah, but I wasn't walking around the locker room and be like, you're tr.

[Taylor Lewan]

Trash.

[Delanie Walker]

You're trash.

[Clay Matthews]

Delete one of the guys be like, you're ass. Like, I don't know why you on this team. It's October, we gotta be together for the rest of the year.

[Taylor Lewan]

Yo, get him outta here. Like, I mean you. I, like I said you Pockets. Anytime I call you Pockets, it's you taking money out of somebody else. Pockets. By us keeping you on this team, we could have asked somebody else who wanna play, who can make a play. But instead, for some reason, they like you.

[Willie Compton]

I don't know why.

[Taylor Lewan]

Why do they love this kid? I don't see it. You know what I mean? And I'm right all the time. They cut him. You know what I mean? I'm like, damn, I knew I was right.

[Clay Matthews]

Everyone gets cut eventually.

[Willie Compton]

Yeah, you're right all the time.

[Clay Matthews]

Speaking of pockets, whose pockets? Between the Vikings. They're at the Steelers. Vikings are favored minus two and a half total points. They gave us 40 and a half. Which one is Pockets?

[Taylor Lewan]

Pockets. I'm going to say the Steelers are Pockets right now. Okay, okay, I'm going Vikings because you're.

[Clay Matthews]

Going to take the Vikings.

[Taylor Lewan]

I'm going to take the Vikings. You got to look, they look good against the Bengals. Don't get me wrong. Yes, the Bengals didn't have their starting quarterback. They was out there with Jake Browning. Boeing. Browning. Browning. And he just. Oh, my God, what? Three interceptions, he didn't look good. So you really can't speak off and say, oh, Carson went looked good against the Bengals. Because the Bengals just was ass. Right. But you got Jordan.

[Clay Matthews]

David.

[Taylor Lewan]

Addison is coming back.

[Delanie Walker]

Harrison Smith.

[Taylor Lewan]

Harrison Smith is coming back. I just feel like right now, the Vikings, they're going to be a tough team right now just in these couple of weeks. I feel like they on a high horse. They got things going. They threw for some good amount of yards, defense played great. This should be a no brainer. And they playing in Dublin, so it's home field. It's for both teams.

[Clay Matthews]

So home field or away field?

[Delanie Walker]

However you want to look at it.

[Taylor Lewan]

I'm just looking at it.

[Delanie Walker]

Neutral.

[Clay Matthews]

It was a race for it. It's called neutral site.

[Taylor Lewan]

Yeah, neutral field.

[Willie Compton]

It's a neutral field in Dublin for both teams here.

[Clay Matthews]

Pretty much a home game.

[Delanie Walker]

Like 50, 50 home game.

[Taylor Lewan]

No, it's gonna be 50, 50. You gonna have everybody wearing all different types of jerseys. They don't know who the fuck on the field. They just cheering whenever.

[Clay Matthews]

Get excited. Whenever a foot touches the field.

[Taylor Lewan]

No, a field goal. Whenever it's a field goal, they cheer. That's or punt. You've been out there before. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, you haven't.

[Willie Compton]

Yes, I have. We tied against the Bengals.

[Taylor Lewan]

Oh, okay.

[Willie Compton]

10 tackles. Pick it up. Yes, bro.

[Clay Matthews]

All right, hold on. You played overseas.

[Willie Compton]

Yes.

[Clay Matthews]

I thought in 2018 you had the little hammy. A little soft tissue.

[Willie Compton]

That was with Tennessee.

[Clay Matthews]

I thought you said, I've never done it. I. I remember you being like, I've never played overseas. I'm actually happy. I'm not going to.

[Willie Compton]

Yeah. Cause I had played overseas and I'm like, I'm kind of pumped. You know, I don't have to go to this game. But you injured guys in that trash.

[Clay Matthews]

It's like a miserable play overseas.

[Taylor Lewan]

It is.

[Clay Matthews]

It is miserable.

[Taylor Lewan]

But you was especially.

[Willie Compton]

Especially when you travel on Thursdays.

[Taylor Lewan]

On Thursday. That sucks.

[Clay Matthews]

That's what we had to do.

[Taylor Lewan]

Oh, that's what y' all did. Y' all was the way I didn't go, man. I was 16.

[Clay Matthews]

Was it 16?

[Taylor Lewan]

No, it was 18.

[Clay Matthews]

That's right. Yeah. Fair enough.

[Willie Compton]

Cause when you travel on Thursdays, it's like, you know, you practice on Thursdays, then you go and hit the plane. You're expected. That's supposed to be your rest from when you land. It's. It's Friday morning. And then you go. Yeah. You don't rest. Guys are trying to find ambience. Trying to like, find some ways to sleep.

[Taylor Lewan]

Yeah.

[Willie Compton]

Then you get off the plane, you're right there early Friday morning. It's like you're like a zombie. It's like food kind of sucks over there.

[Taylor Lewan]

Hey, no offense in London. No offense, London, but tell them the food, that Canadian bacon or whatever, watery ass eggs. I'm like, yo, what is this?

[Willie Compton]

You guys want to go get some fish and chips?

[Taylor Lewan]

I went to McDonald's every morning when.

[Clay Matthews]

I did that Netflix show. The production company was based out of the UK and they were trying to argue with me about them having good food. But you guys don't even have salt. You don't even season your shit over there. It's terrible.

[Taylor Lewan]

It's terrible.

[Clay Matthews]

No disrespect to all the friends of the uk. I do like the Vikings as well. Carson Wentz playing, I think is actually beneficial for the Vikings right now. Anytime you have a quarterback that is a first round pick ends up having turmoil in his career, send him to the school of Kevin o'. Connell. He'll get them fixed up right. The defense having as much takeaways as they had. And then I like I picked the Steelers to win the AFC North. They're 2 and 1, but they haven't rushed for more than 75 yards in a game. They are in the red zone. They're like, what's the stat here? They're 87.5% in the red zone scoring a touchdown, which is awesome.

[Taylor Lewan]

That's good.

[Clay Matthews]

I don't see them getting in the red zone a lot in this game. I like the Vikings. I like the Vikings with the points as well.

[Delanie Walker]

I got Vikings in the points as well. You saw Wentz, as we talked about, better equipped to run this offense, more competent, more comfortable than J.J. mcCarthy and it showed. They did a great job making concerted efforts. Shutting down the run after that Falcons game in Week 2 forced Jake Browning into, you know, those passing situations. Flores on defense forced two turn two interceptions, that is. And then the Bengals, everything went wrong for them. But it also was a big getting derrisal back at left tackle. Their left guard, their rookie left guard has been playing extremely well and I think he just had surgery though, so he might be out. They handed the ball off to Jordan Mason a ton. Let him do his thing. There's. But there's now film on Wentz. So while I think the result will be the same with the Vikings coming out on top, I think it'll be a closer game. But you know, Steelers defense 28th in in total defense 27th against the run. I mean, I love a Rod. He can make all the throws he needs to, but they don't have a run Game. Pittsburgh, that is their O line, can't protect all that great. Their defense is getting old. Is not playing up to that Pittsburgh standard. I got Vikings with minus two and a half.

[Willie Compton]

Yeah, I just don't see. I just. I don't see how Pittsburgh wins offensively. You. You already rattling off all the stuff defensively for the Steelers, like bottom five in every category across the league. Vikings can run the ball well. O', Connell, Coach Phillips, they'll be creative. And how they can attack the defense with Carson Wentz getting his second start, I just. I don't see where Pittsburgh finds success. When you. When you watch the games, it's like I'm rattling through their offensive plays, and the only time they kind of find anything is when they're throwing perimeter screens. DK Metcalf really isn't getting much separation anywhere, bro. Unless you just throwing the ball on the outside quick or if you're in the red zone and you just throw it up. He did have a touchdown last week again, but it's in the red zone. You're throwing it up. But as far as him, like, getting separation, even. I don't know, maybe you can speak to this more because I have no clue what I'm talking about when it comes to wide receiver. But it's like, even with A.J. brown, he might have not have the most explosive speed coming off the line of scrimmage, but he does a really good job when he's getting pressed on finding some separation. I mean, dudes are kind of shutting down. DK Metcalf, it's not like he's getting some acceleration with his speed unless he gets into, like his 10th stride downfield. Man, A Rod just doesn't have the time to make those plays. They don't run the ball well. They have to do a lot of perimeter screens just to get stuff going in quick game. And again, nobody's really open or creating separation offensively. I like the Vikings. Here. It's two and a half points. Vikings are favored by two and a half. And Kevin o'. Connell. This is just a stat for London now. Kevin o' Connell, internationally is four zero. Kevin o' Connell internationally is four zero.

[Delanie Walker]

Who's a wide receiver, too, for Pittsburgh?

[Taylor Lewan]

They defense is.

[Delanie Walker]

I'm saying, like, Pickens don't do that. I mean, I'd be regretting that trade. Could you?

[Clay Matthews]

Pickens?

[Taylor Lewan]

Oh, definitely Pickens.

[Clay Matthews]

Right now, Pickens is his own.

[Willie Compton]

The vibe you felt when, you know, I bought into it. I loved buying into it. Aaron Rodgers, 4,000 yards on the year. DK Metcalf coming over from the Seattle Seahawks. But it's just. It's not that, man.

[Clay Matthews]

Everything you pointed to about Aaron Rodgers, 4,000 yards. I was on that train with you and it felt so good. I think I kept hearing about a rod from other people because I don't really know the quarterback position, similar to what you're talking about wide receivers is he is looking down at the rush a lot more than looking downfield. Because when you get to that age at 42 years old, like, you're more cautious about getting injured. And so I don't know what that means, but everyone's like, when that starts to happen, that's the end of the quarterback. That's like when the quarterback, he's going to start to fall off a little bit, which sucks to hear.

[Delanie Walker]

But it's like he looks good though. He can make every. But then every team is driven through him. And if you can't protect him and you don't have a run game and you can't sustain drives. Yeah, like you're not going to go very far.

[Clay Matthews]

Just the lines not giving a whole.

[Willie Compton]

Bunch of time that. All 22, bro. You just watch their offensive rhythm. You just click on the offensive place and just watch it. It's like even if Aaron does that at times, it's not like. It's not like it's standing out. He's just getting nervous in the pocket. It's. Wide receivers aren't getting a whole lot of separation to where it's just eventually the pocket's collapsing on him to where all having to do is these perimeter screens. Some play action, but it's just. I just don't know how they move the ball. And when it gets an aggressive Vikings.

[Clay Matthews]

Defense, it's difficult to run the play action when you haven't rushed for over 75 yards yet this season.

[Taylor Lewan]

And you know, that's what Art like to do. That's how he.

[Clay Matthews]

He needs the mayor to run the pass. He needs to have the pass just like the run. And that's how you get guys to bite.

[Willie Compton]

But they almost feel like DK is just like a decoy out there. It's like they're just trying to find ways to get Jalen Warren the ball.

[Taylor Lewan]

I mean, John New had a couple of targets last week. I mean, it's just. It's tough when you are an explosive receiver like that like he is. And you know if you. If you give him any kind of cushion, he gonna outrun you. So just what, press him. If you can press him and get that timing off, knowing that the old line ain't good enough to protect for Aaron. Shit, that's throwing that timing off regardless. It ain't gonna matter if the timing is perfect. If he moving around, he's trying to look down the field, there's nothing he can do about that. You know what I mean?

[Willie Compton]

I feel like too, it's like. And again, I wasn't a receiver but it feels like even DBs, they're not even getting up there to press him in the first yard. They're like using the five yard window, let him get off the line because they know he's not getting off the line that fast. They're getting hands on him a little bit in that 4 and 5 yard mark and then there's just no, there's no separation.

[Taylor Lewan]

But also if you know about Arthur's offense, we don't throw deep a lot.

[Clay Matthews]

You throw deep situationally.

[Taylor Lewan]

Yeah, you go. So they, every team, if they like, okay, third down, they may go deep. First and second, let's sit at the five yard mark. He may go run a stop, he may run a deep stop, he may run a slant like they, they. You know when you come in, you kind of already know what routes you're going to get on certain downs. So I, I feel like that's what we saying. But I won't be surprised if Aaron start feeding Metcalf a little bit more. You know how he gets. He kind of almost like AJ gonna get upset if he doesn't get the ball. So I'm assuming they gonna start trying to give him the ball a little bit more.

[Clay Matthews]

Michelobolger has this idea. We love play for an Ultra. It's all about those little friendly competitions when an ultra is on the line.

[Willie Compton]

Yes. Like if we're running an Oklahoma drill, that's where I'd take you down and claim my ice cold ultra.

[Clay Matthews]

We've all seen me and Will Compton and Oklahoma drill. You know, I don't even know that beer is mine, buddy.

[Willie Compton]

See, that's exactly my point. Doesn't matter if it's touchdown toots. Ping pong, cornhole, whatever. Bragging rights taste better with an ultra.

[Clay Matthews]

Superior is worth playing for. Michelob Ultra Superior light beer.

[Willie Compton]

To go over to Baltimore or Kansas City?

[Taylor Lewan]

Yes sir.

[Willie Compton]

Baltimore Kansas City Ravens are favored by two and a half. Chiefs are underdogs at home. The over under on this game is 48 and a half.

[Clay Matthews]

I'm so confused about this. I'm so confused after watching the Ravens, which I did pick the Lions last year.

[Taylor Lewan]

You did. You did, you did.

[Clay Matthews]

I liked them a lot. John Mourn a lot of question marks about him after the packers game in week one and they go they dropped 49. How many they dropped this past week? 50. Something like they went crazy against the Ravens. Who is, you know, bottom three in total yards, yards per game. I mean passing rushing like they are bottom three. And all the major statistics on their defensive side of the ball when they have aliens, Roquan Smith, Kyle Hamilton and they're just getting gutted right up there. Gutted multiple drives. The Detroit Lions had multiple drives of 95 yards.

[Taylor Lewan]

Who wasn't playing on Kyle Vanoy?

[Delanie Walker]

Kyle Van Noy and Matabuque.

[Taylor Lewan]

Two players down.

[Clay Matthews]

Two players down. But, dude, they're giving up a shitload of points. But then you look at the Chiefs, and it's like, you know, they beat the Giants as their first win of the year, and it's like they win 20 to nine, whatever the score was. Like, they. But they, like, still, like, can really move the ball a whole lot. It's like death by a thousand cuts. And it's like.

[Willie Compton]

Yeah, you go a lot of field goals, a lot of drives.

[Delanie Walker]

Look who they're playing, though. I mean, you know, Chargers, who look like world beaters right now. 3, 0, all divisional wins. Who are they playing? I'm forgetting Eagles, who, you know, coming off a Super bowl and not Giants. And now we go with. What is it, one or two right now? Yeah, yeah. I mean, like, both teams. They're playing two teams. Two, three teams. Shit. Two teams that are in the top five in the league as far as, like, perceived best teams in the NFL. So I think at this point, they just need to keep their head above water, you know, hope. Hopefully Rasheed Rice will be back soon. Worthy will get healthier, Simmons will get more reps, because they're gonna be. I know. They're still gonna be. I actually got Baltimore on this, so this is gonna be tough. It's gonna be the first time. I know. I'm just. I'm just saying.

[Clay Matthews]

Yeah, but you talk about the Chiefs. They played the Chargers, they played the.

[Delanie Walker]

Ravens, and they're playing the Ravens.

[Clay Matthews]

But the Ravens also played two of the offenses.

[Delanie Walker]

You're absolutely right. That's why one of these quarterbacks can be one in three for the first time. For the Bills and the Ravens, though, just switching over. The Ravens were 1 and 2 last year when they started this year, so this is less about the Ravens. I mean, when I watch them offensively, they're so explosive. They scored 40, 41, 30 points. And even this last game, you know, they had that goal to go four downs. They turned it over on downs. There's some missed opportunity to score right there. Obviously, Derrick Henry and his last three fumbles have. I hate to play this game, but, you know, they're one and two. They very easily could be three. And, oh, defense, we talked about that. Yeah, they're giving up points, but I think that was more a testament to how good Detroit looked than it was. Hey, what's going on with. With Baltimore? So I still. I pick Baltimore to be in the super bowl, pick Lamar to an mvp. Obviously, you know, they're Climbing up a hill right here. But I got them beating the Chiefs. I think the Chiefs just need to weather the storm. Like, they're. They're. They're playing these killers right now, and. And, you know, they just got to hope they start clicking, getting into rhythm, putting it together that they've done for the last however many years and just win the games they need to win and squeak in in that wild card. You know, when the Chargers, just watching.

[Clay Matthews]

Lamar, when Detroit was spying him, there was like three or four open field tackles where Lamar would do Lamar things where he'd make one guy miss and there's 20 yards for him to have. And the Detroit linebackers, yeah, like, were able to get him on the ground no problem.

[Willie Compton]

They're good, bro. They are good.

[Clay Matthews]

They're flying all over the place. But Chiefs defense is fantastic. They're the ones that are keeping in the games at all times. So Chiefs don't have weapons on offense. To me, this is an under game. This is under all the way. It's 48 and a half points, but I will go. For the sake of this show, I will go. The Ravens as well, I think they have more opportunity to be explosive, change the game that way. No one in the world is in hell more than Derrick Henry. Yeah, mentally, physically, he is truly in hell. I think he had, like 600 carries last year and had three. Three fumbles on those. He's had 44 carries this year, has had three fumbles like he is. No one's beating him. No one's beating him up more than himself. They got to get him going. It's going to be a tough defense to get him going, but I think at the end of the day, the Ravens have more weapons, they have better personnel, and they're going to win this game.

[Taylor Lewan]

I don't know if y' all noticed this, but that first, that, like you said, that goal line, when they got down there and they got stopped, Derrick Henry was pissed. When that last play was for Lamar to keep it, he shook his head. As soon as he got the play.

[Delanie Walker]

He like, well, didn't they give it to Derrick Henry three plays in a row at the goal line right there.

[Taylor Lewan]

Every time he was stopped hitting the backfield, hit in the backfield, I mean, because they was trying to give him, like, pitches to the side, like just run power.

[Delanie Walker]

Power downhill.

[Taylor Lewan]

Yeah, like just run power. So with that being said, though, they need to get the receivers involved, man. They got to get Flowers involved. They got to get Hopkins more catches, man. He's playing well. Just get him out there, throw him the ball like we used to. Give him jump balls, slants. Just let this man make plays. He's making the plays. We got to feed those dudes. And then likely is coming back. Even though, don't get me wrong, Andrews had a great catch in that game where he caught a first down. That was awesome. But I think likely coming back, that gives them another dynamic of having that pass 100%. So I don't know the Chiefs. I don't know what the Chiefs are right now. You know, they trying to figure out.

[Clay Matthews]

Here's the question. If the Chiefs lose this game, are they dead?

[Willie Compton]

No, I don't think they're dead. I just think expectation needs to be this. This. This is going to become like a wild card team.

[Taylor Lewan]

Yeah.

[Willie Compton]

Not like as far as dynasty and everything else. It's like, I don't even think that should be the expectation. If I'm looking at both the Chiefs and the Ravens, like, which team? Watching both these teams, watching their opponents, because I agree they've played great. They played great teams, but it's more like the Eagles and Chargers are teams. It's like understanding how to win. I don't think they've tapped into what their potential can be offensively to. Whereas the Ravens have played the Lions and the Buffalo Bills to where those are absolute killers on the offensive side. The Lions had that down week in week one. But now they. The governor's off. Like, they look like the Lions. They look like the Lions last year. I feel like the Ravens have just played against better opponents. To where it's like, yeah, the defense is kind of questioning questionable right now. To where this is like a gbot for them to kind of get rolling. If there's a team more likely, like looking at the product go one and three out of the Ravens and the Chiefs. I think it's more so the Chiefs. I'm taking the Ravens this game. And just a fun little stat. Chiefs 03 is home underdogs. Oh, and three is home underdogs.

[Clay Matthews]

Big stack guy today.

[Willie Compton]

You just got to put them out there when they look good.

[Clay Matthews]

You got to say it. I hate that.

[Willie Compton]

It's kind of hard. It's kind of hard not to.

[Taylor Lewan]

It's just hard not to.

[Willie Compton]

Again, it's like Chiefs have been struggling to move the ball and like, just scoring. Not necessarily like move the ball as much, but they had to get creative with quick game and everything else likely coming back. I do think that adds a good dynamic for Baltimore defense. They got the leadership. They Got the guys on that side to where they understand. They understand what's going on right now. They have to get it right.

[Clay Matthews]

Yeah. And Harbaugh was very critical in his postgame press conference being like, yeah, our run defense is awful. We have to do a better job tackling. We have to do a better job filling gaps. And him being there for as long as you have, having the culture that he has, I can see them turning that around in a big way.

[Willie Compton]

Yeah. Humphrey, it's not like the Chiefs are.

[Clay Matthews]

A strong run team.

[Taylor Lewan]

Yeah.

[Willie Compton]

Hamilton, Roquan, Smith, like, they got that side of the ball. They're going to get going.

[Taylor Lewan]

It's going to be a good battle.

[Clay Matthews]

When's Vanoy coming back, though? When's that elite pass rush coming back?

[Taylor Lewan]

Is he supposed to be back this week? I think he may come back this week.

[Delanie Walker]

Watch, they'll get the win now because he's back.

[Clay Matthews]

Maybe.

[Taylor Lewan]

I mean, because you even heard the.

[Clay Matthews]

Announcement, have to protect. I mean, they give up seven sacks against the Lions.

[Taylor Lewan]

Yeah.

[Clay Matthews]

So they have to be able to protect because you want these shots downfield like you're talking about, like, they, they have to hold up.

[Taylor Lewan]

But, you know, those sacks were not like rushing. They were like, Lamar doing Lamar. Shit.

[Delanie Walker]

Yeah.

[Clay Matthews]

Let that live by the sword, die by the sword. Lamar, you right. How many times has, you know, someone gotten beat quick, he makes that guy miss and it's, you know, 88, not the gate down the field.

[Taylor Lewan]

You're right. You definitely.

[Clay Matthews]

So he's gonna run around a little bit like you gotta, as an office army look at and go, he's been doing this for a while.

[Taylor Lewan]

He's been doing. We know he gonna do this block.

[Clay Matthews]

We're, we're all going to go three for three on this. Oh, maybe not this game.

[Willie Compton]

Packers of Dallas. Green Bay at Dallas.

[Clay Matthews]

Yeah, I was, I was looking. Packers in Dallas. I think we're all.

[Delanie Walker]

Yeah, I think this is the worst.

[Clay Matthews]

Possible situation for the Cowboys.

[Willie Compton]

Yeah, this is not good because this feels like a no brainer.

[Taylor Lewan]

Yeah. CD Lamb out.

[Willie Compton]

Packers favored on the road, six and a half points. The over. Under on this game, 47 and a half. I mean, look, give me the over.

[Taylor Lewan]

Wait, you ain't touching the game.

[Delanie Walker]

No, I said no, I touched. Yeah, I got Packers.

[Willie Compton]

He just said, give me the over.

[Taylor Lewan]

Yeah, I know, but I was saying, like, this is a no brainer right here.

[Clay Matthews]

He's out. CD Lamb's hurt. What's that?

[Taylor Lewan]

Four to six weeks.

[Clay Matthews]

George Pickens, your number one now?

[Taylor Lewan]

No, George Pickens, the run Game's not.

[Clay Matthews]

That great at all. What your defense is horrible is the worst in the league.

[Delanie Walker]

Horrible's already on the hot seat after week three.

[Willie Compton]

He should be. He should be.

[Delanie Walker]

It looks too. It's not like you have, like, inferior guys out there. It just looks like guys are becoming uncovered or wide open, like, what's going on.

[Clay Matthews]

But you pop on the film and it is.

[Willie Compton]

It's inferior guys with zero creativity and just nobody making any type of play.

[Taylor Lewan]

I mean, the owner jinxed him. He said the defense is better off without that person. Like, now you're starting to see that was a fucking lie.

[Willie Compton]

Michael Parsons coming to Dallas.

[Clay Matthews]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lewan]

Oh, he about to go eight.

[Clay Matthews]

Rashawn Gary's already got four and a half sacks.

[Delanie Walker]

He's leading the league.

[Willie Compton]

Like, it's Micah Parsons coming to Dallas.

[Taylor Lewan]

Yeah, it's about to be.

[Delanie Walker]

But we're not even talking about the packers lost, though. I mean, how do we feel about that?

[Clay Matthews]

That to me, you wipe your ass, right?

[Delanie Walker]

That's right.

[Clay Matthews]

You wipe your ass like that's. It's. No one's going 17 0. No one's gonna drop one. Some bullshit. And Josh Payton, our caller show, had a great comment about, like, it's better to lose early so you kind of can course correct to figure it out. It's like, yeah, you get that one out of the way. So now when you go into a game that you should win later in the year, it's like, hey, remember this? Remember the Browns? Like, we should not have handled ourselves like that.

[Taylor Lewan]

Yeah.

[Clay Matthews]

Michael Parson said it best. He goes, yeah, sometimes you shut the bed. They should.

[Taylor Lewan]

I didn't think the packers was gonna play like the Browns, though. Let's just be honest. Like, they were slow. I'm like this.

[Willie Compton]

And you know, too, though, but like, as a staff, what a game to come in after. In team meetings and everything else, just to be like, you are not who you think you are.

[Clay Matthews]

Oh, yeah, like losing that.

[Willie Compton]

Like, you can't just show up. I don't care if the Browns, whoever. You can't just show up and win a football game on Sunday. And that game proved it.

[Taylor Lewan]

Yeah.

[Willie Compton]

Everybody's urgent now and again. Michael Parsons coming back.

[Delanie Walker]

Yeah, you just wish that, you know, the packers could have won that maybe 10, 3, 10, 10. But they kicked that final field going like, all right, let's quit reading the press clippings. But like you said, I don't put much into it. I thought it was going to be closer because they didn't have as much to play for as silly as that sounds. But you got the 12 o' clock game. But bro, how about that Browns defense? Myles Garrett, I'm going to consider him early contention for defensive player of the year. But even their two, their two draft picks this year and Mason Graham against Mason Graham and Schweisinger from walk on at ucla like he's looking good out there. Their defense is like one or two in every statistical category. So you go from the best defense to arguably if not the worst defense. I think it's gonna be a 7 on 7 match. I think Jordan Love goes off this game, Micah coming back, he's going to get his. I think it'll be good for football, him coming back and packers getting a big win in Dallas.

[Clay Matthews]

Yeah, it'll be a seven on seven. It'll be a one sided. I heard a whole lot in this game.

[Willie Compton]

I heard like a fun stat with Mason Graham because you sit there and it's like oh, Myles Garrett, his defense, everything else. And then I realized like, oh yeah, they did draft Mason Graham. Like the usual pass rush win rate for a defensive tackle is like 9%. Mason Graham is winning it like north of 40% when rushing the passer.

[Clay Matthews]

Rookie.

[Taylor Lewan]

Is he next to Miles though? Is he right next to Miles?

[Clay Matthews]

I'm sure they move him.

[Willie Compton]

Yeah, I'm sure they move him.

[Delanie Walker]

Either way, he's probably not.

[Willie Compton]

He's coming from the inside.

[Taylor Lewan]

So I was about to say yeah.

[Willie Compton]

Yeah, he get done coming off the edge and him coming up the middle like that's a, that's a, that's a watching sight. Yeah.

[Clay Matthews]

Watching Miles versus the Ravens a couple weeks ago was, is the more impressive thing I've ever seen in my life.

[Delanie Walker]

Did you see that? Sorry, did you see the clip from this last week when he's chasing after Jordan Love and someone's like.

[Clay Matthews]

I was.

[Delanie Walker]

Like, oh man, he looks bad.

[Taylor Lewan]

He goes, I beat him so bad. He screams, run, Jordan, run.

[Clay Matthews]

I'll be honest, I've been on the other side of the. I've been beat so bad, I'm like, marcus, do it.

[Willie Compton]

Is that what happens? Like say you get beat fast.

[Clay Matthews]

You gotta let your boy know because there's been a couple. Like when you, when you miss and you like or you're leaning, you turn around and you just see the quarterback.

[Taylor Lewan]

His back, his back is too old like this.

[Clay Matthews]

You're just like.

[Delanie Walker]

Oh, like did they.

[Clay Matthews]

What the you doing?

[Willie Compton]

You're just standing there like this with your hands throw it.

[Taylor Lewan]

Oh, you get him on film.

[Clay Matthews]

I've had it.

[Taylor Lewan]

You get him on film. Because you just see the whip, like.

[Clay Matthews]

Yeah, it's like a lean lunge. Yeah, it's bad.

[Delanie Walker]

Do they ever talk about, like, they can hear you or. No, they're.

[Taylor Lewan]

They're talking about they can hear you.

[Clay Matthews]

There's one specific game I remember we played the Eagles after they won the Super Bowl. And it was early in the game and I was leaning on my hand and Brandon Graham got me with a quick swipe. And it was like, quick. It was a quick one. And I remember turn around, be like Marcus. And he's like, we'll get to the sideline. And he's like, thank God you said something because I heard you and I got the ball.

[Taylor Lewan]

I promise you. You see Jordan start running.

[Clay Matthews]

You gotta get outta here. This is gonna be bad. This is. This is perfect game for all like the casual watchers to see the packers fall to the Browns being like, oh, packers are a terrible ball. This is a statement. Like, packers are gonna go and drop a 50 burger on the Cowboys?

[Delanie Walker]

Yeah, I think so.

[Clay Matthews]

They might cover the over on their own.

[Taylor Lewan]

I just hope they play well away. We know they play great at home, so let's see what happens.

[Clay Matthews]

6, 0 at AT Stadium, including the Super Bowl. 6.

[Taylor Lewan]

Why you had to tell me that?

[Willie Compton]

6 and 0 at ATT Stadium, including Super Bowl XLV.

[Taylor Lewan]

Oh, man. I may have to switch it up.

[Clay Matthews]

No, no, no, no. He's saying that's a good stat for Packers.

[Delanie Walker]

Packers have won. You got to switch it up.

[Clay Matthews]

Are you in Dallas?

[Taylor Lewan]

Every time I hear a good stat, I have to go with the opposite.

[Delanie Walker]

Okay, switch it up.

[Taylor Lewan]

I didn't say that.

[Clay Matthews]

Go Cowboys.

[Taylor Lewan]

I'm saying, I mean, think about it.

[Clay Matthews]

Dude.

[Taylor Lewan]

Dude, no, I know they ain't got.

[Clay Matthews]

Pickens is gonna get like 50 targets against that.

[Taylor Lewan]

I can't rely on Pickens.

[Willie Compton]

They're gonna.

[Taylor Lewan]

Okay, that's one dude.

[Clay Matthews]

Throw a whole bunch first round. No, I'm going.

[Taylor Lewan]

I'm going Packers. I just said the stat.

[Willie Compton]

Just six and a half points though. All they got Dallas. Gotta do is cover right back door cover, man.

[Taylor Lewan]

I got you me on the last one on that with the Vikings. I mean with the. The Arizona gang. Cause I was just like. I was like, I want to move the line. No, just take the plug. Take the.

[Clay Matthews]

The line was one and a half on the Cardinals.

[Willie Compton]

Are you talking Niners? Cardinals?

[Taylor Lewan]

Oh, I got it right. I don't even know what the fuck I was going.

[Willie Compton]

You were trying to say I messed you up with the Falcons game. But we won that game.

[Taylor Lewan]

You messed me up with one game. I don't know.

[Willie Compton]

It was Falcons. Vikings.

[Clay Matthews]

Yeah. Cause that's when Clay gave a great stat for the Vikings.

[Taylor Lewan]

Oh yeah.

[Clay Matthews]

And then I said that's a good point.

[Delanie Walker]

And I gave a great stat Lamar last year and that didn't work out.

[Taylor Lewan]

Then what?

[Clay Matthews]

Yeah. So you're taking the Cowboys.

[Taylor Lewan]

No, no, I'm taking the Packers. I'm sticking with the Packers. The Packers.

[Clay Matthews]

You're sitting bottom right now at 500.

[Delanie Walker]

You gotta take risks.

[Taylor Lewan]

I'm straight. This is what happened every time. And then I be at the top when the show over with. That's just how it goes.

[Delanie Walker]

Like top.

[Clay Matthews]

See?

[Willie Compton]

At the top, buddy. You're at the bottom.

[Clay Matthews]

Boom. Form Energy. Form Energy Keeps you dialed all day long. Form Energy. We do the work. Let's go to a game that no one cares about. Jets at Dolphins. Dolphins are favorite, minus two and a half. Total points of that game is 44 and a half.

[Willie Compton]

Does anybody got a coin?

[Taylor Lewan]

Yeah.

[Delanie Walker]

For real, for real. I don't think it's a coin toss.

[Taylor Lewan]

I mean, they played good against Buffalo. I know where you're going, right?

[Delanie Walker]

That's one of them. But I'm just saying, like, yeah, Dolphins look good against Buffalo. Buffalo, they hung tough. And if Buffalo's some of y' all super bowl picks, MVP picks, like, there has to be something. I know it's a divisional game. They also. I know it was a, it was just a one possession game versus New England, but I'm looking at the jets secondary versus like Miami.

[Willie Compton]

Speed.

[Delanie Walker]

Aside from Sauce, who didn't have the greatest game last week? Like, they look equally as inept as Dallas. And so I see them getting the ball out there and I see one of these Miami games where they put up points and there's just speed, guys. Tyreek Hill waddle streaking down the field.

[Clay Matthews]

I love that thought process of, hey, we got speed that can get downfield. Tua. Multiple times. Tried to throw it deep and it just. Oh, muffins.

[Taylor Lewan]

Yeah.

[Clay Matthews]

But just. It would literally go in the air and just stop, then drop.

[Delanie Walker]

But that's Buffalo's D we're talking about.

[Clay Matthews]

I'm talking about the ball in the air in general. I'm talking about two A Tongue of Iloa and the ball in the air.

[Willie Compton]

I'm gonna ride with my dog.

[Delanie Walker]

So who you got then?

[Clay Matthews]

I got the Dolphins.

[Delanie Walker]

Okay.

[Clay Matthews]

I got the Dolphin. I mean, yeah, I just. This is a game I do not care about. I probably will not watch. You know, Dolphins are going to throw it every single play. But yeah, give me the, give me the speed on the perimeter over the Jets.

[Delanie Walker]

Dolphins can't lose too. Dolphins lose. I mean, we can see, we can see our first firing of the year. Yeah, we can see some pieces getting shipped out. Tyreek Hill, there's rumors that happening before?

[Taylor Lewan]

I think that, yeah.

[Delanie Walker]

But I think he's bought himself some time and like.

[Clay Matthews]

Yeah, because they played him competitively.

[Willie Compton]

They did.

[Delanie Walker]

They did. I think. But here's the thing. I think the first week kind of shook Everybody's confidence in McDaniels playing the Colts because the Colts have historically, for the past several years, been the Colts. But Colts look like world Beatles right now. Daniel Jones playing well.

[Taylor Lewan]

Colts look good.

[Delanie Walker]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lewan]

Not gonna lie.

[Clay Matthews]

Yeah, they look fantastic.

[Taylor Lewan]

I fucking hate the Colts, but they look good.

[Clay Matthews]

You going Jets?

[Taylor Lewan]

Hold up. Is T Rod starting?

[Willie Compton]

Tyrod Taylor?

[Taylor Lewan]

He's starting.

[Clay Matthews]

It's not official.

[Delanie Walker]

Does it matter between him and feels?

[Clay Matthews]

It's also Wednesday when we're shooting, but.

[Taylor Lewan]

Feels, huh, did not play.

[Clay Matthews]

Won't commit to a starter instead. Not yet. They're essentially the same player.

[Delanie Walker]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lewan]

No, they're not. They're not.

[Delanie Walker]

Well, I think that was more of a testament to Pittsburgh's defense in week one, because I, I, I drank the Kool Aid, too. I said, turn the jets around.

[Taylor Lewan]

I drank the Kool Aid.

[Delanie Walker]

Justin Fields looks like that guy. And in week two, Buffalo. Was it Buffalo?

[Taylor Lewan]

Yeah, Buffalo, though.

[Delanie Walker]

I know it's Buffalo, but it wasn't even Buffalo. He was like, like, like three for 10 or something.

[Willie Compton]

And Buffalo defensively against the Ravens, it's like, oh, shit.

[Taylor Lewan]

Like, I know he thought. He thought was nothing, but then it's.

[Clay Matthews]

And Buffalo against the pass. All last year they were bottom, bottom of the league.

[Taylor Lewan]

That's true.

[Clay Matthews]

So, like, how much better they were they really going to get?

[Taylor Lewan]

I mean, I'm not going to go, obviously. I'm just saying. I just wanted to see Dolphins.

[Willie Compton]

Fuck.

[Taylor Lewan]

I can't believe. I can.

[Willie Compton]

So if Justin Fields is playing, are you going Jets. And if Tyrod Taylor's playing, are you going?

[Taylor Lewan]

Yeah, so I'm gonna do that. If Justin Fields play, I'm gonna take the jets. And then if T Rod play, I'm gonna take the Dolphins offense.

[Willie Compton]

All right, there you go.

[Clay Matthews]

We're all aligned here. I.

[Willie Compton]

We're aligned on.

[Clay Matthews]

I hope we all go.

[Taylor Lewan]

This game is just.

[Willie Compton]

Did anybody take the Chiefs? I don't think so.

[Clay Matthews]

I think we all took the Ravens.

[Taylor Lewan]

Oh, you talking about for winning?

[Clay Matthews]

We all the Ravens across the board.

[Willie Compton]

With the same picks and everything.

[Taylor Lewan]

Every pick was the same.

[Willie Compton]

Every pick.

[Taylor Lewan]

God damn.

[Clay Matthews]

I mean, buddy. Bengals.

[Willie Compton]

Bengals at Stupid up here.

[Clay Matthews]

Bengals at Broncos. Broncos are -7 and a half half. Total points is 43 and a half. Broncos.

[Taylor Lewan]

Broncos. Broncos. I mean, yeah, dude. I mean, what are we supposed to.

[Clay Matthews]

Do both Monday night games. Two Monday night games. Jets, Dolphins, Bengals, Bron.

[Taylor Lewan]

Wait, these are Monday.

[Clay Matthews]

Monday night football games.

[Delanie Walker]

Do we have to do them Clump.

[Taylor Lewan]

We gotta watch them. We gotta watch them, dude.

[Clay Matthews]

I mean, Broccoli's defense looks nice.

[Willie Compton]

Like the Monday night just changed the whole script.

[Clay Matthews]

Oh, now we have to watch this.

[Delanie Walker]

I think talking about how bad the Bengals are and just how screwed they are that they don't because they don't have a run game. Jake Browning can't bail him out through three picks, what, two weeks ago against the Vikings, whatever team that they played. And then he. Two picks last week. Like I said, they haven't been able to run the ball. Burrow's not there to bail him out. What about the Broncos, though? Broncos. Bo Nicks. I'd rather just shift the conversation. We all think Broncos are going to win, but at one and two, like two losses by one, possession by field, whatever it is, in the last two games, like, are they who they were? Are they building upon last year? Is Bo Nicks going to take that next step? Because that's what I noticed in the game versus Chargers. Like, there's still a big difference between Justin Herbert and Bo Nix as far as leading those teams to, you know, hopefully a Super bowl, whatever, maybe playoffs.

[Clay Matthews]

You're a big Bo Nicks guy. Here's my concern about Bo Nix. He sets the record when he comes out of college for most starts in college. And so my fear is like, is this just Bo Nicks at his maximum potential right now? When you look at a guy like Justin Herbert, it's like he's in the Delaney Walker top five quarterback category. You know, he's throwing for a billion yards. He's the fastest to however many yards. And then Harbaugh comes in and you see like the confidence, whatever it is with Harbaugh and Herbert, it's like, like. Or his quarterbacks, it's just like there's a level of jelly, a confidence that comes out and you're seeing a new level of play from Herbert. And so for this game, them being -7 and a half like that, 7 and a half always scares me a little bit because, you know, anything can happen. But I think, you know, the defense, they're. They're like 50% pressure rate, you know, on. They have 63 pressures on the year. Their defense is really good. I think Bo Nix is going to be able to move and get around and get some yards on the ground himself and be able to throw it around. So I will. I'm going to take the Broncos, I.

[Willie Compton]

Just think who's got 60 pressures?

[Clay Matthews]

The Broncos.

[Taylor Lewan]

Broncos.

[Willie Compton]

I got them, I got them in 92 total pressures on the year in 76.

[Clay Matthews]

Yeah.

[Willie Compton]

Which is the highest in the NFL. Number two four.

[Clay Matthews]

50.4 pressure rate on percentages.

[Willie Compton]

The second highest is the packers, which we know what their pass rush is. Like they have 82 on the year. Like this is the Denver defense is for real. And I, I, I, I get the sentiment of the Bo Knicks or if you're, I don't think it's much of a comparison with Bo Nicks and Justin Herbert. To me, I don't feel like Bo Nicks had like an all world like area of talent when he was coming out. It was just like some, some it factor. Apparently he has that Sean Payton loves. And when I go back, because I'm a massive fan of Colin Coward too and I was listening to him talk about it, he kind of has the same opinion of like, are we seeing him like at his ceiling? Like maybe this is what we get with Bo Nix. And when I watch, when I watch a tape with the Chargers game, I see a lot of bad situations that the Broncos got themselves in when you were wanting Bo Nix to make plays. Like a lot of times they had 10 penalties on the game. And when you look at success with Bo Nix, like penalties killed him 10, I had 10 in parentheses. But when you're looking at these third down situations, he's in third and 20, third and 12, third and 19, third and 11, third and 13. He missed a big throw in two minute at the end of the game where he just overthrew him just a little bit. That was third and 10. But when they're sitting there in third, manageable, like they're, they're moving the ball. He missed a third and three inaccurately. But they're in bad situations like when they're trying to move the rock to where they get a good play and it's coming back and they're getting penalized for it. So as long as they clean it up discipline wise like that defense is for real. You watch Justin Herbert against the Broncos defense. Like bro, Broncos are able to get a lot of pressure. I know they're aggressive and they do blitz a lot, but a lot of times on third down they're rushing with four gu. They're getting pressure with just four rushers and coverage wise they're mixing and matching whether it's too high double robbers. Like they're taking away a lot of throws to where there's a Lot of tight windows. Justin Herbert is just a hell of a talent. Like there was one where he like, you know, he's getting out of a pressure and then like throws it across his body in the end zone.

[Clay Matthews]

Sidearm dude, right on top of him.

[Willie Compton]

Yeah, the defender should have made the play on that ball. They end up getting a touchdown. But all to say is like, Denver operates defensively like they know exactly what's going on. To where you've been a part of those defenses to where if the offense is checking, the defense has such a good beat on what's getting checked out of or what they could be checking to. To where the defense is checking as well. Like they're all on the same page. What is it? Singleton, who's their middle linebacker, communicates very well. They all communicate well once, whether it's a tap on the head, a hand motion, everybody across the board in the back seven is doing it. They're all on the same page. The defense for Denver is for real. I like them this game just again, because it's like, like a lot of Bo Knicks talk. Denver's not like playing up to the expectation. Like, everybody thought they had that penalty where they should have won against the Colts. You know, they lost a tough game here against the Chargers where there's a couple missed ops with Bo Knicks. But again, a lot of it is situational bad penalties that set them behind the sticks a lot. I like the Broncos here. They just got to get back. Like they. They just can't beat themselves in early down situations.

[Clay Matthews]

Stay on the Chargers game too. The chargers went up 100 on them and they had 17 unanswered points. Yeah, they had three drives in a row where they've been able to put points on the board. Like, as much as people want to hate on Bo Nix, which I have kind of done a little bit, is like he can still get the. Get the job done. Obviously you're going to have some inaccuracies here and there. Everyone's going to have them. But he's got the defense to keep him in game and he has the ability to make explosive plays on the offensive side of the ball that can take them over the edge and win those close games.

[Willie Compton]

Yeah, the questions are there about Bo Nixon. I think they're fair. But it's like when you're just. When you're just breaking down the tape of the offense and everything else, there are a couple inaccurate throws where you know he's going to want him back. Hey, you want him to rip one over the middle where he had a dagger, where it's just like, hey, don't hesitate. Just like let this thing rip. So I think those questions are fair, but I think like there's just, he's been in a lot of third and long situations because they've gotten penalized.

[Clay Matthews]

Right?

[Taylor Lewan]

Right.

[Willie Compton]

So Broncos, Broncos, we're across. Can you just go Jets?

[Delanie Walker]

Hopefully we're split on this next one.

[Clay Matthews]

Yeah, if you're, if you're on the fence, you should go Jets.

[Taylor Lewan]

No, no, no, no. I can't. Like I said.

[Clay Matthews]

Well, at least we'll all have similar records next week. Nothing's going to change a whole lot. This is probably the game that will change. It's a True Classic game of the week. Every Sunday is got games but only one fits just right. This is the true Classic game of the week. True Classic. Listen boys, I'm wearing all True Classic right now. This is the Pima T shirt.

[Clay Matthews]

Philadelphia Eagles at Tampa Bay buccaneers Jalen Hurts versus Baker Mayfield Eagles are favored minus three and a half. Total points in the game is 44 and a half points. Baker Mayfield 3 what? Last minute comebacks or yeah, game winning drives. Thank you. That's the phrase I was looking at. Three game winning drives in three games this year. Eagles down. I mean there was a 26 to what was it? Clump. You're a huge Eagles fan. Yeah, they're down 26. 26 to 7, 26 to 10. They were down by a lot. The Rams had 26 at half. They had 26 at the end of the game. Game. And then the the Eagles end up throw being able to throw the ball. They let AJ unlock another two just throw it to 11.

[Taylor Lewan]

Yeah he the offense is half one.

[Willie Compton]

Compared to offense and have two completely.

[Clay Matthews]

Different offense and I know that Tampa Bay beat them last year and I know it's in Tampa Bay and the the Heat index is going to be like a 110 for that game. But it's like if they didn't have the game against the Rams that they did last week, I would probably go Tampa in the situation. But seeing the second half of the Eagles where Sirianni walks in and goes the second half is the offense. We are the offense we can be where you can run run the ball and you can throw the ball. Allowing AJ to do more than just a couple of slants here and there is incredibly helpful. So I think they take that second half game plan and they say hey see we can do it. John Hurts, you can do it. Go to Tampa. They do that. I will be taking the Eagles in this game.

[Willie Compton]

I think just to get off the across the board I'm going Tampa Bay.

[Clay Matthews]

Just to get off.

[Willie Compton]

Just to get off just because again I think a lot of injuries in Tampa Bay, a lot of injuries in Tampa Bay.

[Taylor Lewan]

But Mike Evans is done because I want to go Tampa too but I.

[Willie Compton]

You'Re getting Three and a half points at home and it's going to be north of 100 degrees and you got Baker Mayfield.

[Clay Matthews]

Got Maker Baker Mayfield.

[Willie Compton]

Eagles got a lot of weapons too.

[Clay Matthews]

Attitude.

[Willie Compton]

I think Bucky or Bucky Irving. He'll get going. He's going to continue to get better. Yeah, he's going to continue to get better. They're going to continue to open. Open up the offense through him. Baker. Yeah.

[Delanie Walker]

Oh, he's been playing well. Who? Rookie Ibuka.

[Willie Compton]

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, is nice.

[Taylor Lewan]

Yeah, he the main target.

[Willie Compton]

Yeah, he's. He's a beast, bro.

[Taylor Lewan]

I.

[Willie Compton]

You know, it's gonna be a fourth quarter game and all these game winning drives and all this Mojo around. Baker Mayfield. Give me Baker Mayfield in the fourth quarter against the Eagles.

[Taylor Lewan]

You know what? I think I'm gonna ride with you, bro. I like Taylor said, it ain't no team going to go undefeated this year. This may be the way the week they take an L. They should have.

[Clay Matthews]

Took an L last week.

[Taylor Lewan]

They should have. They should have.

[Clay Matthews]

And I'll tell you what, dude, the kicker for the Rams, if I ever see him, I'll assault him. Because I had the Rams.

[Taylor Lewan]

I know I was sitting there and.

[Clay Matthews]

A half in that game and they blocked that kick. And the kicker just stands there, does don't do nothing. Could have made a tackle.

[Taylor Lewan]

I'm like, dude, he thinks the game over.

[Clay Matthews]

Well, the game was over, but he should have known.

[Willie Compton]

Gamblers everywhere. You still covered.

[Clay Matthews]

You gotta keep this covered.

[Willie Compton]

Right, bro?

[Clay Matthews]

Just hit an ankle. He didn't even move. I think he took literally three steps and just watched him run. And it's like, yeah, the game's over, but have some.

[Taylor Lewan]

I was counting that as an Understand.

[Clay Matthews]

That my fanduel account is riding on you making a tackle.

[Willie Compton]

He's just probably thinking a another block kick. Like, yeah, can we get the line going, bro?

[Taylor Lewan]

Up the middle is worse.

[Clay Matthews]

Still out.

[Willie Compton]

He was big boy. Was.

[Taylor Lewan]

He was moving and he said, it's my chance.

[Clay Matthews]

Tristan, we're. As of right now, Tristan Worfs is still out as well.

[Delanie Walker]

Have they said anything about Godwin?

[Clay Matthews]

He's on track and play on track.

[Delanie Walker]

What about on the Eagle side? Lane Johnson, what's the latest?

[Clay Matthews]

He should play too, but he got hurt on the tush push. If Lane Johnson can play, they need.

[Delanie Walker]

To get rid of it.

[Taylor Lewan]

Yeah, I'm gonna stick with that. Go ahead.

[Delanie Walker]

As a fan, I want the bucks to win. I think it's good for football. Baker Mayfield is one of the most fun and exciting quarterbacks, especially what he's been able to do over the last three weeks.

[Clay Matthews]

Weeks.

[Delanie Walker]

And you saw what they were able to do at Raymond James last year. Buddy threw for damn near 400 yards. But they had Mike Evans, they had Godwin. They're not going to have him this time. And their left tackle. I think there's just too many injuries. Right tackle, sir. Sorry. Too many injuries to overcome. So I'm rolling with the Eagles, but I hope I'm wrong. I hope I'm wrong as a fan, but I'm not.

[Clay Matthews]

I can't be wrong. Something.

[Taylor Lewan]

But what you got for us?

[Clay Matthews]

Something fun to look for. The Bucks brought Desmond Watson on the practice squad. He's the guy who weighs 440 pounds.

[Willie Compton]

Oh, they brought him back.

[Clay Matthews]

Vita Ve also weighs almost 400 pounds.

[Taylor Lewan]

Bring him in.

[Clay Matthews]

Try to stop the tush push with 800 pounds in the middle. So that'll be fun.

[Taylor Lewan]

Is he. Is he on Big Liquid iv?

[Clay Matthews]

Big Liquid IV game. But it looks like they brought him back just to see if they could stop the tush push.

[Delanie Walker]

What's his weight at?

[Willie Compton]

Did he.

[Clay Matthews]

Did he.

[Taylor Lewan]

He lost losing weight. He lost weight.

[Delanie Walker]

Are they asking to put it back on though, for the second week?

[Willie Compton]

Maybe.

[Clay Matthews]

I don't know. Maybe.

[Taylor Lewan]

Well, he's still practice squad.

[Delanie Walker]

You can elevate for like a game or two.

[Clay Matthews]

I have a feeling they will elevate him and we will see if that stops the tush push. Two 400 pound guys in the middle. What a perfect time for the Eagles to run something else out of that.

[Taylor Lewan]

Yeah, that fake pitch.

[Clay Matthews]

Yeah, a fake.

[Delanie Walker]

A little flip.

[Willie Compton]

What I'd be nervous about is if it's a tush push on the goal line because that's a pretty far jog to get out there in that package. Yeah, true. You need that to be around the 50, right? You know what I mean?

[Clay Matthews]

But again, wheel them out, dude. Just wheel them out with a mask and undo him and put him out there.

[Taylor Lewan]

He tired already.

[Clay Matthews]

So this is okay. Finally we have a game to go.

[Taylor Lewan]

That we're split on Tampa. We both Bucks.

[Willie Compton]

Bucks, Eagles.

[Delanie Walker]

I like it.

[Taylor Lewan]

That's the only one we.

[Clay Matthews]

Honestly, I would be going Bucks this week if it wasn't for the Rams game. Because that second half, like the turnaround that they got checked, that was essentially their Packers Brown game where it's like, hey, you guys aren't as good as you think you are. But they were able to fix it at halftime as opposed to, you know, after the game was over.

[Taylor Lewan]

The two of you are either going to go Undefeated or completely defeated this week.

[Willie Compton]

Or we could just go three.

[Clay Matthews]

No. Yeah. Yeah. We could all. We can go one loss or one win.

[Willie Compton]

And what I don't like about it either because it just. It just feels. And never work out this way. But we have all the favorites.

[Taylor Lewan]

Yeah.

[Willie Compton]

Besides the game.

[Taylor Lewan]

I don't know.

[Clay Matthews]

I had like a six leg parlay two weeks ago and I picked all favorites on the noon. On the noon slot and I hit.

[Willie Compton]

All favorites with the points.

[Clay Matthews]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lewan]

You didn't move the line.

[Clay Matthews]

I think I did. Money line.

[Willie Compton]

Yeah, money line.

[Taylor Lewan]

Yeah, you're right.

[Clay Matthews]

Good check.

[Willie Compton]

It's like Bengals getting seven and a half. I hate Cowboys getting six and a half.

[Clay Matthews]

Yeah.

[Willie Compton]

The rest are field goal games.

[Clay Matthews]

Yeah, I bet the boys parlay. Hand up. I suck at this right now. I suck at this right now. And my pick, T. Mac for the Panthers would make you think, well, he hasn't scored a touchdown this year, Taylor. Why would he score a touchdown now? He's playing the Patriots. Okay. They're awful through the air. I like T. Mac. If you guys want to cut right now to the NFL draft when he goes, that's a good opportunity. This cat, I'm telling you, he's got to get one eventually. Why not this week?

[Taylor Lewan]

My man catches everything, but he's a stud. When they get in that red zone, they get in that red zone. I don't know why the fuck they ain't throwing that rock right.

[Clay Matthews]

He's a stud.

[Taylor Lewan]

I know he's good at football. He is. The man can catch, bruh.

[Clay Matthews]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lewan]

Jesus Christ.

[Willie Compton]

I got Josh Jacobs.

[Clay Matthews]

You don't say. I mean, that's a great pick. The only thing that'd be more egregious than that though would be Jonathan Taylor Delaney, who do you got?

[Taylor Lewan]

Jonathan Taylor. Let's go.

[Delanie Walker]

For those keeping track at home, I've hit the last two weeks and we'll make it a turkey right here. Give me Jordan Mason on the Vikings.

[Willie Compton]

Love that.

[Delanie Walker]

Broke 100 yards, two touchdowns last week. Headed over to Ireland, Dublin against a bad cincy team. He's going to do it again.

[Taylor Lewan]

Yeah, that injury helped him so much.

[Willie Compton]

Bad Steelers team because he was a star.

[Taylor Lewan]

They're both behind me, you understand AMC north, right. Like Jordan was a star in San Francisco. Obviously they had the great white hope, so he wasn't going to be able to start there. Coming to the Vikes really helped out.

[Delanie Walker]

Great white hope.

[Taylor Lewan]

Oh, Christian McCaffrey. Because when Jordan was up there like he a beast.

[Delanie Walker]

Oh, you talking about 49ers.

[Taylor Lewan]

Yeah. He's a beast.

[Delanie Walker]

I don't know why they traded him away.

[Taylor Lewan]

Because they got McAfee. Yeah.

[Delanie Walker]

But if you're looking at the 49ers injury history. Ooh, Nick Bosa, by the way.

[Clay Matthews]

Nick Bosa.

[Delanie Walker]

Can I change my NFC west pick? I mean, I know they're 3 and 0, the 49ers, but.

[Clay Matthews]

Yeah, that's. I think that's what's with the buck stops.

[Willie Compton]

Mag Jones.

[Clay Matthews]

I told y', all, boy, he talked about him a little bit. So I'm at a little golf charity event, and all of. He's like, I hope he crushes this.

[Willie Compton]

Year, 2 and 0.

[Taylor Lewan]

Hey, I've been telling you, I. I think Seattle.

[Willie Compton]

You pick Seattle, right?

[Taylor Lewan]

I did. I picked Seattle.

[Willie Compton]

Seattle looks good.

[Taylor Lewan]

They look.

[Willie Compton]

The Rams look good, too.

[Taylor Lewan]

I know, I know. This whole division look good. So I'm like. Now I'm sitting here like. Like. Like who going to win it? It's a toss up. Arizona looks good.

[Clay Matthews]

Like all.

[Taylor Lewan]

All everything.

[Delanie Walker]

Chill out. Chill out.

[Clay Matthews]

James Connor just went down their whole secondary.

[Taylor Lewan]

Damn. Didn't he just break his Johnson?

[Clay Matthews]

Jr. He's questionable for the game as well.

[Taylor Lewan]

He broke his ankle, right?

[Clay Matthews]

Oh, bro, he.

[Willie Compton]

Yeah, he said. Yeah, he's.

[Clay Matthews]

He's.

[Delanie Walker]

I hoping it was just a sprain.

[Clay Matthews]

I believe they called it a foot injury, but yeah, he.

[Taylor Lewan]

I think everything in his knee is torn.

[Delanie Walker]

His knee.

[Clay Matthews]

Knee.

[Taylor Lewan]

Or it. Like, it looked like his knee or.

[Willie Compton]

Everything in his ankles.

[Clay Matthews]

Yeah, knee and below. It's gone.

[Taylor Lewan]

I mean, it was the clip you.

[Clay Matthews]

Don'T really see, but you can see his foot at the bottom. Yeah, it's facing the opposite way it should be facing.

[Taylor Lewan]

That's what I said.

[Clay Matthews]

I'm like a couple of the players.

[Taylor Lewan]

Whenever y' all just drop off.

[Clay Matthews]

Marvin Harrison Jr. Can't catch right now. He's got the yips. So I got asking him questions. You can just see the defeat on his face. Like, if I'm. If I'm the Cardinals coaching staff, it's like, we gotta feed him early.

[Taylor Lewan]

Early?

[Clay Matthews]

Yeah. Hit him a couple like, bubble screens. Like, hey, buddy, you see it works.

[Willie Compton]

Go live with Larry Fitzgerald, right?

[Taylor Lewan]

No, his daddy. What are you talking about?

[Willie Compton]

He don't need his dad right now. You need to hear from his dad right now. He needs to go stay with Larry Fitzgerald.

[Taylor Lewan]

Yeah, no Larry Fitzgerald gonna come at him crazy, though. Larry for dog, too. I know. That's what I'm saying, but family down right now. He's letting Ohio State down right now.

[Clay Matthews]

You saw what I was it Roman Wilson said About him, though. Oh, you don't remember? After the Ohio State game at Michigan a couple years ago, he goes, you know, you don't want to. People want to wear the Louis, Louis Vuitton, thousand dollar cleats. But really, I see you out there, I see the film. You're not tough, you're not him. He was talking about Marvin Harrison Jr. He's playing somewhere. He's gritting it out on special teams, what he's doing. He's on the pitch. No catches. But.

[Delanie Walker]

How many opportunities?

[Clay Matthews]

No drops though either. Yeah, no drops though either. Does he? Roman Wilson, 10 year NFL vet, future, good show. I don't. I, I'm. I'm this close to flipping all my picks. I've been thinking the same at Taylor177. If I'm going to do it, I will let you guys know before Sunday kicks off.

[Taylor Lewan]

This is the, this may be the week because all these games has just.

[Clay Matthews]

Been like, see, this is why I feel like favorites are good. Is like every year there's like a wonky week. And last week was the week you think it was. Yeah, last week was the week with the, you know, Rams kind of doing what they did, you know.

[Taylor Lewan]

Oh, yeah.

[Clay Matthews]

And then the packers losing to the Browns. It was just a weird week.

[Willie Compton]

Ravens getting whooped by the Lions.

[Taylor Lewan]

Yeah, no.

[Clay Matthews]

And it's like, all right, this is where everything kind of like resets a little bit. So I kind of like favorite picks this week. Everyone kind of like, like recalibrates and if it didn't happen to them, they're pointing and being like, see those guys? We don't want to be the packers this week.

[Taylor Lewan]

Well, this the fourth quarter, huh? Who's to say it doesn't stay the same?

[Willie Compton]

Who's to say that's why we play the game. Put the ball down on Sunday.

[Clay Matthews]

Yeah.

[Willie Compton]

Parlay all the favorites. It's +43.43.

[Taylor Lewan]

Really?

[Clay Matthews]

With the points.

[Taylor Lewan]

With the points, though.

[Willie Compton]

I'll see what's up.

[Clay Matthews]

Favorites, money line, the spread. That's where it gets a little hairy.

[Taylor Lewan]

That's where it get hairy at. It's always hairy with the spread, bro.

[Clay Matthews]

Thursday we will be streaming. Seahawks, Cardinals tune in. Gonna be an amazing time. You coming this week?

[Delanie Walker]

I'll let you know if you do come.

[Clay Matthews]

Are you gonna talk this week?

[Delanie Walker]

Probably not.

[Clay Matthews]

All right, fair enough. Fair enough. Clay's beautiful face will be there. Delaney obviously handles the chat better than anybody in the entire world. Will Compton. His head will be there. Let's have a time. Good show.

[Willie Compton]

Love you, clay.

[Clay Matthews]

Love you Clay.
