• Picks & Arguments:
  • Will: “I like Jacksonville in this game to cover.” [12:49]

  • Delaney: “I’m actually going with the Rams...Rams defense is going to be stout. Nesco won’t win this game against the Jaguars in London.” [14:41]
  • Taylor: Loves the Jags' London track record and thinks they're learning to win. “I love Jacksonville here with the points.” [16:32]
• Consensus: Split panel. Will and Taylor lean Jags (especially with points); Delaney and Clay favor Rams, citing defense.

• Consensus: Most fade the Eagles—Vikings moneyline is the hot take.

  • Clay: “I like the Lions, too. They had several ‘gotta have it’ plays…settle for three points, but they got bullied in that game.” [51:46]
  • Delaney: “The Buccaneers is a sleeper team. Baker is unbelievable…When you got a quarterback like Baker Mayfield who is a fucking dog, you play hard for him.” [53:11]
  • Taylor: Challenges the “next man up” Bucs narrative: “Some of those heavy hitters on the outside, the rapport that you have with your quarterback…there’s levels.” [54:13]

Download the [e-mail] bussin to get started, there's a couple things we have to get into. We'll get to you in a second. I just drove you through the mud. Nice jacket.

[Clay Matthews]

Thank you. Listen, I might have been one in five in my NFL picks, but I'm one. And oh, in my eyes, that's with this big Trojan victory over the Wolverines. I'm so proud to be a Trojan today. I mean, what a win.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Clay Matthews]

Malachi Lemon. Probably going to be a top five pick. Maybe the walk on King. Don't even know his last name. Just calling him King. Rushes for what, 150?

[Will Compton]

Yep.

[Clay Matthews]

Big win. They should give him a scholarship today.

[Will Compton]

He should have a scholarship. You know, he's got a twin brother.

[Clay Matthews]

Does he?

[Will Compton]

Yep. Six foot, £290. They showed him during the game. Did you watch the game?

[Clay Matthews]

I watched it, but I was, like, celebrating too much. I didn't really notice the intricacies and.

[Will Compton]

The nuances going on out there. Congratulations, you guys. You guys whooped our ass.

[Clay Matthews]

Well, thank you.

[Taylor Rapp]

You had such an opportunity.

[Clay Matthews]

I did, but.

[Delaney Walker]

Yeah.

[Clay Matthews]

Listen, man, you know, I just. They've let me down on defense before, if I'm just being honest. Usc, but they, they played well.

[Will Compton]

Dude, hungry dogs run faster.

[Clay Matthews]

Notre Dame this weekend and then, hey.

[Taylor Rapp]

That'S a big one.

[Clay Matthews]

That's a big one. And then what?

[Taylor Rapp]

We got Nebraska after that bye week and then Nebraska.

[Will Compton]

That seems like a big bet waiting to happen, huh?

[Taylor Rapp]

Possibly. We'll see how these teams play. Listen, I think USC's a tough football team.

[Will Compton]

That's a damn good football team.

[Taylor Rapp]

Football team right there.

[Will Compton]

So nice. Yeah, he fits that.

[Delaney Walker]

And we'll be.

[Will Compton]

Game plan. If you took. If you just said, hey, we'll take that game plan into every single game throughout the rest of the year. You're probably going to win most of your games like that is. It hurts me to say it, but that was incredible.

[Clay Matthews]

Do you think USC has a chance against Notre Dame? I mean, South Bend's been tough.

[Will Compton]

Yeah. I think Notre Dame runs main coverage more than any other program.

[Taylor Rapp]

I love them this weekend.

[Clay Matthews]

And you loved him last weekend, too. You were the only one on this show.

[Taylor Rapp]

I called the whole game. That's why when we was walking out and you guys were trying to find a bet and I just looked at you, I said, clay, I'm telling you, you should be confident on this bet.

[Clay Matthews]

You did. You did tell me that. Well, I feel confident in this jacket right now.

[Will Compton]

You look good.

[Clay Matthews]

Thank you. These colors look good.

[Taylor Rapp]

Hey, guess.

[Clay Matthews]

Been sitting in the closet for a few minutes.

[Taylor Rapp]

I have a side story.

[Prime Video Announcer]

Go ahead.

[Taylor Rapp]

So I'm at the park. Is it Sunday morning? I got the kiddos at the park. Scotty's sleeping in the truck and Rue's playing on the slide. So I'm kind of balancing both back and forth. I cracked the window. Don't worry, I cracked the window.

[Clay Matthews]

No, go ahead.

[Taylor Rapp]

My wife was on me about it. I was like, sweetheart, this is a bonter special. Like, people come to the party and be like, oh, where's the kid? Oh, he's sleeping. Taking a nap out in the car. I'll be all right. I guess that's normal. So I'm sitting there. It's like, Scotty just fell asleep. So I'm like, all right, let's crack the window. Put it halfway down. I'm standing right there by the. You know, the slide and everything else. But anyway, a gentleman run up to me. I recognize him. This is one of the. This is one of my park dads. This is a little crew that we always know we're gonna be there. He comes up and he's like, hey, I'm the head coach that whooped Clay Matthews in the Champions.

[Will Compton]

Oh, shit.

[Delaney Walker]

No, just like that.

[Clay Matthews]

Those are his words exactly.

[Taylor Rapp]

Something like.

[Clay Matthews]

Something paraphrasing. But that's what he said.

[Taylor Rapp]

Yeah. I was like, listen, Clay's been losing sleep over this. And he. He. He was like. You know what he did? He said you didn't want to accept the. The second place trophy or prize.

[Clay Matthews]

Oh, yeah, I didn't take it.

[Taylor Rapp]

Yeah, yeah, he's got it sitting on his shelf, too.

[Clay Matthews]

Oh, he took. He took first and second.

[Taylor Rapp]

Just to let Clay know we had his number.

[Delaney Walker]

Dude, that. Shots fired. God damn.

[Clay Matthews]

I appreciate you providing the fuel. I don't know if that really happened, because I don't think it did. We got a mutual respect. Hey. But as I'm logging it all away.

[Will Compton]

Talking to town all weekend, we were at a Halloween party this weekend. Your game was brought up.

[Clay Matthews]

The flag football, multiple people brought up.

[Taylor Rapp]

Randall was there.

[Clay Matthews]

I'm telling you, like, it's.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Did you invite Clay?

[Clay Matthews]

Oh, no. Hey, I didn't get the invite.

[Delaney Walker]

Me or Clay.

[Clay Matthews]

Hey, what's crazy, too, is that the invite.

[Delaney Walker]

Me or Clay?

[Clay Matthews]

Damn. They only want us on the show, but they don't invite us to the Spooktoberfest.

[Delaney Walker]

You feel me?

[Clay Matthews]

It's wild.

[FanDuel Responsible Gaming]

That is.

[Taylor Rapp]

And you know what?

[Will Compton]

That's got nothing to do with Will. That's all on me.

[Delaney Walker]

We got families, too.

[Clay Matthews]

Y' all do lots.

[Will Compton]

We got family.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Damn.

[Will Compton]

That's up. It's up, too. That's where we met was at the Akin farm.

[Clay Matthews]

Damn. Lauren didn't even give me an invite.

[Will Compton]

That's where I was hoping you'd go with it.

[Taylor Rapp]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

She didn't invite you.

[Clay Matthews]

I'm over here asking her.

[Will Compton]

Hey, T.R. didn't call you.

[Clay Matthews]

I'm over. He's on the road. Okay.

[Will Compton]

I'm he was there.

[Clay Matthews]

How's your pregnancy going? You know. Oh, you look great. This and that. Can't even get an invite.

[Will Compton]

Damn. You can blame my brain on cte.

[Taylor Rapp]

Jesus.

[Will Compton]

Not hurts.

[Taylor Rapp]

But I also say, you're right, because I juiced that up. I told him, I'll say, hey, if you don't mind, I'm gonna juice this up for Clay. But he's like. He's like, bro, it was so funny watching how frustrated he was getting. And he's like. And by the way, all the parents giving him shit, he's like, it's such bullshit. He's like, he does such a great job with the kids. The patience he has, the focus he get and the attention he gives, like, each one. And I know he's taking a lot of. Taking a lot of bulls. There's a lot of. You know, there's some message boards going on where it's like, Maybe don't carry 14 kids on the roster. But he was saying. He's like, man, he's like, clay does such a good job with those kids. And he's like, I'm close with all of my parents and the kids that are playing, so I'm like, a little harder. I can kind of get after the kids a little bit more. Because he's like. He's got great relationships with everybody. And he's like, but Clay, you can just tell. He just stays poised. Like, he's like, if you have a kid and they're playing for Coach Matthews, like, you get as good of a job as anybody. Well, he's like, I did handle that ass, though. He said something like that.

[Delaney Walker]

This is the question. Did he play all his kids?

[Clay Matthews]

Hey, so he's only got eight kids on his team.

[LifeLock Advertiser]

Oh, okay.

[Kraken Advertiser]

All right.

[Clay Matthews]

So they play like they don't rotate. So I'm over here trying to rotate. You know, I gotta. Parents.

[Taylor Rapp]

Cause him and him, they got a coaching tree now. Him and Randall Cobb, like, they was coaching the team last year. Now Coach Cobb, he's broke off. He takes the first graders. Clay has the kindergartners. And I'm kind of asking Coach Cobb, like, how he kind of breaks it down. He's like, well, we're seven on seven. Kindergarten's five on five. And he's like, where Clay. He hurt himself is. He carried, like, 14 on the roster. He's like, you gotta cap it at some point.

[Clay Matthews]

I was trying to be fair. At the beginning of the year, 16 kids sign up. I said, how do I make this fair if I split into two Teams, they say, oh, you got an A team and a B team. So I try against my better judgment, I kept too many kids and then it came back to bite me. But you know what, I'm on the up and up now. I think as we move forward, we have a competitive team, we have a developmental team. It's not an A team and B team. And it depends what the parents want for the kids. If you want your kid, you know, playtime might be fair, might not be fair. Your kid might only play offense or defense. He might not play, you know, who knows what it is. And then you have the developmental where, you know, you go out and wins and losses.

[Taylor Rapp]

Something that pitched to the league because we was talking to Keecley and Greg and kind of asking them their opinion on Clay not rotating enough kids in. Yada, yada. We don't, we don't come across that because they have like a, like a, they have like a 12 play game before the game actually starts.

[Clay Matthews]

What, so that would like a scrimmage.

[Taylor Rapp]

Yeah, like they have like a scrimmage. So all the kids who might not play or might not play a lot, they get 12 plays. Each offense gets 12 plays and they just play a short little game before.

[Clay Matthews]

Well, this one, you, you're bringing your team. So it's not a, I think it's. Or they call rec league or something where you're just giving random kids, you know, you can form your team. So really it's up to the coaches. But it was a learning lesson. Yeah, I'm glad that, you know, my legacy is living on. Only a few short years in the coaching, but it's fun. I have a lot of fun.

[Taylor Rapp]

He was grinning. He was grinning ear to ear. He's like my boy.

[Clay Matthews]

I got, I got a lot of respect for that. I got a lot of respect for that coach and their team. His son is a stud. He's the one who beat. He lined up at quarterback. I had him schemed all game. But they, they made some adjustments at halftime. Out coaching half, not out coach Just, just put our corners in a little bit of a blender. But we, we ran out of steam at the end because you know what I'm saying, we'll. Matthews was playing safety. He was spying him all game. Ran for three touchdowns. Just at the end. We just, we just ran out of gas. They either made more plays.

[Taylor Rapp]

Yeah.

[Clay Matthews]

Than we did or we didn't make enough plays. You know, however you want to look.

[Will Compton]

At it, I hope history for you and your playing career and your coaching Career aren't paralleled because you've said it. It's when you, you early in your coaching career, your playing career, you get to the super bowl after that.

[Clay Matthews]

Yeah, but we won the Super Bowl. We're close. We were close a couple times. I'd rather be close than, you know, have my season in December 29th or whatever it is every year.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, let's have a better record.

[Clay Matthews]

Let's have a better record. Let's do that.

[Will Compton]

Let's get to the London game. We got the Rams, I guess, at the Jags. I don't know if that's a fair move to take away a home game from them, but whatever.

[Taylor Rapp]

Jacksonville is the home team.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, they're the home team. Rams are favored. Minus three total in that game is 44 and A. Let me lay it out for you guys real quick.

[Taylor Rapp]

No Puka.

[Will Compton]

Nukua.

[Clay Matthews]

Yes.

[Will Compton]

Jacksonville coming off a loss. I like Jacksonville in this game to cover.

[Delaney Walker]

Man, that's a good. That's good.

[Will Compton]

Hell yeah.

[Delaney Walker]

It is.

[Clay Matthews]

It is. Okay, my turn.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, yeah.

[Clay Matthews]

I think the Jags have been one of the biggest surprises in the league and that's mainly because of the turnovers they create. Last week versus Seattle. Zero turnovers, Seattle.

[Taylor Rapp]

Sammy D. Is great at taking care of the football.

[Clay Matthews]

He's great. And if there's anything about that defense where they give up a little too much. 2024. Jacksonville gave up the most passing yards this year. Third worst. Giving up the third most passing yards. Guess who leads the league in passing yards this year?

[Will Compton]

Who?

[Clay Matthews]

Oh, Matthew Stafford or the LA Rams. Now he doesn't have puka, though. He doesn't have puka. But you saw what that defense did last week. Defense, oh my God, defense is good. Got a lot of young talent, energy and what I was surprised about. I'm going to just take you back to the prior week where the Buccaneers went out to Seattle. Seattle couldn't get any pass rush on Baker Mayfield. I think he got hit one time, one pressure, threw for 300 yards, you know, whatever he did up there. But this past week, that Seattle pass rush, I want to say seven sacks they got after Trevor Lawrence pressured on 50% of his his drop back passes. So I look at that continuing with the Rams and the pass rush, they have verse Byron Young, second in the league in sacks. And you know, as an all pro Pro bowl inside linebacker, I got to give a shout out to Nate Landman, you know what I'm saying? Like just an absolute dog setting the franchise record with 17 tackles. I just, I wanted to say that as you know, just an inside backer, just giving props out because I don't know if you guys like anyone else could see that, but I did. And especially, man, your coaches had you.

[Taylor Rapp]

Reading guard to guard when you were the middle linebacker.

[Clay Matthews]

Hey, C Ball, would you have like.

[Taylor Rapp]

50 tackles that year? Yeah, just talk your name, Clay. Mad these Pro Bowls, bro.

[Clay Matthews]

Haters. Haters.

[Will Compton]

The Fly's been crazy all day. Who are you taking?

[Delaney Walker]

I'm actually going with the Rams. Just. I know Puka was hurt. I was questioning this, just knowing that Puka won't be out there. But seeing what the Rams defense is doing with that defensive front, getting after it, I feel like Trevor Lawrence is going to be put in a fucking bowl and those dudes is going to contain them. And obviously the offense is still on fire. You still got guys out there that can make plays on the Rams. And having a quarterback like that is. What's the running back from Michigan? Is he going to play Blake Corum? He was balling last week until he took that injury. You think he's out? He's out this week.

[Clay Matthews]

They got Kyren.

[Delaney Walker]

I know, I know. But having that duel. But having that duel because they both. They kind of similar but a little different. I think that gives that run game a lot, a lot of purpose. But I got to go with the Rams. I just think that defense is going to be stout. Nesco won't win this game against the Jaguars in London. It's going to be that defensive front. They only allow 18.3 points a game. So I think that's going to be big comp.

[Clay Matthews]

You went Rams, I got Rams.

[Taylor Rapp]

You take Jacksonville with the points. Here they are. They have three points. They also. They're like the home team in London. They're 3:1 in their last four since 2020. Basically, they're 3:1 out in London. They did lose their most recent one last year, but I think this team's learning how to win. You had a massive win against Kansas City. You dropped one last week against Seattle. Who? Seattle's a really good football and McDonald's defense is really coming along out there in Seattle. I know everybody talks about Sammy D. And how great he is at throwing the deep ball, but that defense is starting to play really salty now. That was a tough game for Jacksonville. I do think they're learning how to win once they drop one. You know what those conversations are like in the locker room. They're going to try and get one back. They know how to travel to London. Rams have been staying in Baltimore all week long since they played against Baltimore. And that offense is, you know. Is it Cooper Rush.

[Delaney Walker]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Cooper Rush.

[Taylor Rapp]

Cooper Rush. Doesn't matter. They were handling them. We knew that the Rams were going to take care of that game. But now going out to London, I love Jacksonville here with the points.

[Will Compton]

I think Huntley took over in that game, right?

[Clay Matthews]

Yeah, he did. He looked. Yeah, he looked better.

[Will Compton]

All right.

[Taylor Rapp]

Who you talking about? Jags, Jags, Rams.

[Will Compton]

Rams. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Delaney Walker]

Him coming in was a lot better.

[Clay Matthews]

Is he gonna be because he can.

[Will Compton]

Run a similar office?

[Taylor Rapp]

He did Lamar Jackson, definitely Huntley. Didn't Huntley get Pro bowl when he ended up coming in as like the third string guy from four years ago?

[Clay Matthews]

I got a Pro bowl inside. It doesn't mean anything.

[Delaney Walker]

I'm just saying. All right.

[Will Compton]

Michelob Ultra. They have this idea we've talked about last couple of weeks. It's playing for an Ultra.

[Clay Matthews]

Now.

[Will Compton]

What is the record between you and I? I'm one and four. Yeah, one and four. Rock, paper, scissors for an Ultra.

[Taylor Rapp]

You got all the pressure. I'm four and one.

[Will Compton]

You got all the pressure.

[Taylor Rapp]

One, two, three, shoot.

[Will Compton]

As always.

[Taylor Rapp]

One, two, three, shoot.

[Will Compton]

Four and two pressure. I'm not tuning for Superior is worth playing for. Superior Light Beer, Michelob Ultra. Fun little games, fun little competitions get done. Let's get back to this episode.

[Julian Edelman]

This is Julian Edelman from Games With Names. Football is back. That means it's tailgate time. And this season, the Only meat going on the grill is Dietz and Watson. Some of my favorites are the Black Angus Dietz dogs, the Italian style chicken sausage and the Asiago spinach chicken sausage, just to name a few. Oh, and I love the jalapeno mustard. It's flavor packed and you could just tell Dietz and Watson uses the highest quality meats and every bite. Dietz and Watson was born in Philly in 1939 and they've been doing it the right way ever since. Visit deetsonwatson.com the right way to learn more about the deets difference.

[Taylor Rapp]

All right. Yeah.

[Will Compton]

Eagles and Vikings. Eagles are favoring one and a half. Total in that game is 43 and a half points. Boys, this has got Vikings written all over it. Kevin o', Connell, he has not decided who the quarterback is going to be. Carson Wentz, he's dealing with a little shoulder injury. They pop the thing back in. This guy, he's a South Dakota guy, he's playing in this game. That defense is salty. The Eagles are. That foundation is cracked. The dam is about to give. The water's about to flow through. They're great on a passing defense or great from a run defense standpoint. They're just salty all the way around. And Carson Wentz will sling that thing. Being at home, I think is a big win for them. I got them winning this game.

[Delaney Walker]

Revenge game for Carson Wentz.

[Will Compton]

Revenge game for Carson.

[Prime Video Announcer]

He could be the one to let.

[Taylor Rapp]

That to flip that franchise upside down.

[Delaney Walker]

But I heard things about Mac. Max Brosmer, what's his name? Max Brosmer, the third string quarterback. I heard good things about him. If he put him in for what team man for Vikings. For the Vikings.

[Will Compton]

You knew Mac Jones.

[Delaney Walker]

I know. I'm just saying there's just talks of.

[Taylor Rapp]

JJ potentially being back this week or healthy. He hasn't made a quarterback decision. Was the shoulder his throwing one?

[Clay Matthews]

I think this is game changer.

[Will Compton]

No, it wasn't his throwing one because they put it back in and he kept pulling this. Apparently he dislocated. They popped it back into place and he went out and played.

[Delaney Walker]

But I heard he's sore. They said he was pretty sore the last few days. They say he's been sore the last few days. He haven't practiced. So I'm not sure if that's going.

[Clay Matthews]

But does the right arm work?

[Will Compton]

Right arm works. He's one of those guys, like if it's not, if the bone's not showing, he's playing.

[Clay Matthews]

Listen, I was going to come in here because everybody like you said the foundation is cracking. You know, whatever metaphor, analogy you want to use. I was going to, you know, sprinkle a little sunshine. A ray of hope for the Eagles. You look at their four wins, not just a little over a week ago. They're 4, 0. Okay. They beat the Cowboys, tough divisional opponent, Chiefs, Rams and Bucks. All three teams who very well could be playing in the super bowl this year. And then they have a tough loss to Denver. And then a quick turnaround Thursday night versus the Giants. You look at their offense, too. Saquon was averaging close to five yards per carry. A.J. brown had nine targets, six receptions for 80 yards. They looked, I mean, not so much in the second half, but they looked decent. But I think that game was more about. I'm sorry, the Eagles game last Thursday? Yeah, in the first half. I think what I'm trying to say, what I'm trying to get to. Let me get to the kicker.

[Will Compton]

The Giants.

[Clay Matthews]

Yeah. So did I. Did I misspeak or something?

[Delaney Walker]

No, no, he.

[Clay Matthews]

No, what I'm trying to say is like that game was more about the Giants and the Giants finding their quarterback in Jackson Dart their franchise quarterback, their attitude in Scatter.

[Delaney Walker]

Boo.

[Clay Matthews]

They obviously got their left tackle. Like, I think they're good for the future. But you can't ignore, like you had said, all the quotes that are coming out there. Lane Johnson, who doesn't provide a lot of sound bites, talking about being more consistent. Saquon talking about being too predictable, and AJ Brown talking about what meeting. I mean, that guy releases a quote every week that others have to answer for. So. You're right. You're absolutely right. But what I'm going to say is I like the Vikings. If Carson Wentz starts, give me the Eagles because I'm not ready to quit on him yet. If JJ McCarthy starts, can we talk.

[Will Compton]

About those games you said when they were 4, 0 just a couple of weeks ago?

[Clay Matthews]

Yeah, let's do it.

[Will Compton]

So Dallas Cowboys, they play them. Was that Thursday first Thursday. CD Lamb catches that ball? I think. I think the Cowboys go and win that game. They beat the Rams. They blocked not one, but two kicks. And then the Rams went down to score. They were up, what, 26 to 9 at halftime. Broncos or Broncos? What was the other one? That was real close.

[Delaney Walker]

The Bucks.

[Will Compton]

Bucks.

[Clay Matthews]

Interception. Interception by Baker.

[Will Compton]

Interception by Baker. He's going.

[Julian Edelman]

Would have.

[Will Compton]

Would have been at the time, his fourth game winning drive.

[Prime Video Announcer]

He's got it.

[Will Compton]

Did you get his ass?

[Delaney Walker]

Yeah, he got it. These flies aren't operating the way they should.

[Will Compton]

Huh?

[Clay Matthews]

I hear you.

[Will Compton]

I'm saying, like, the record looks good, but it could look a whole lot worse. And they don't ask how. They ask how many.

[Clay Matthews]

But that's like the Chiefs last year. It's championship metal. It's finding a way to get it done.

[Will Compton]

Chiefs are way different.

[Delaney Walker]

Yeah.

[Taylor Rapp]

This 4 and 2 record for the Eagles is a pick. With Lipstick Taylor laid out, they could easily be 1 in 5 right now. Jalen hurts. You can talk about how many. You can talk about how, you know, AJ Getting targets. Lane Johnson talking about consistency. AJ Brown saying, you know, what meeting. Rumor is he just. He saw Saquon and Jalen talking and he kind of, hey, what's going on here?

[Will Compton]

He walked his ass in.

[Taylor Rapp]

This is Vikings Moneyline. This is Vikings money line. I'm telling you, the Eagles, they're in a very bad spot. If you watch the film, too, on Jalen, like, a lot of it, too, when he's sitting back there baking a pizza. You're not getting paid $40 million to bake a pizza. You're getting paid $40 million to sling the rock. And he's not slinging the rock. He's choking that ball out back there, or he's trying to scramble. Like he's got guys who are open and he's just not letting it go. And then schematically, on offense, when you're watching them go, like, go into the end zone, they get an empty and throw a little quick out. They run the same exact play. They don't have a lot of creativity on offense. A.J. brown, they got cover zero. A.J. brown's running wide open for a touchdown.

[Delaney Walker]

He threw the interception.

[Taylor Rapp]

This is Vikings money line. This is Vikings money line. The Eagles are in fucking trouble.

[Clay Matthews]

You think this is. They're going to implode, like, 20, 23?

[Taylor Rapp]

Yes.

[Will Compton]

I think after this game, there's a conversation being had about who the quarterback is for The Eagles.

[Taylor Rapp]

Danny McKee. Let him spin it.

[Clay Matthews]

No, see, I think this is.

[Taylor Rapp]

It probably won't because of politics and everything else. And money.

[Delaney Walker]

Yeah, and money. There you go.

[Taylor Rapp]

The feeling of the team right now, everything just. Again, we don't know this for a fact. We don't know. This is me just, you know, spewing bullshit. But my instinct says everything around the Eagles right now, everything is pointing to.

[Delaney Walker]

Jalen hurts that he's the cause of it all.

[Taylor Rapp]

Him and that. Listen, the biggest piece that they're missing this year is Kellen Moore, who's down in New Orleans. I think they're having trouble offensively getting it going from a schematic standpoint. But also with Jalen Hurts as well, being the quarterback of that and Makai Becton. Yeah.

[Will Compton]

Running game, you look at them being predictable. It's like if you have a great offensive line, you can be predictable. We did that for a few years and it's like they're running between the tackles. One guy's missing every single time.

[Delaney Walker]

Every time.

[Will Compton]

Saquon Barkley is getting 0.8 yards per carry before he's met with contact. Every yard he's getting is earned and that's bad.

[Clay Matthews]

So you think there's any solution that's.

[Will Compton]

Not a good stat for them.

[Taylor Rapp]

No, that's not okay Solution is Jalen just ripping the ball when he's got the opportunity.

[Clay Matthews]

So is that Petullo changing. You know what I'm saying? Changing the plays they run, Is that getting rid of him to send a message to the team? Is that dealing with A.J. brown before the trade deadline, like Orlovsky.

[Taylor Rapp]

Broke it down very well to where we understand this game where they're very tendency based on the running backs deep versus the running back being in line with the quarterback. Like a lot of those simple tendencies are showing up for the Eagles, but also when you watch the tape. So anything that can make a bad coach look good or make the coach right is the players making plays. There are opportunities where Jalen can let it rip and he's not even coaching aside. So I think it's a combination of those things. If Jalen starts trying to spin it, I think they're going to be all right.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, he's one of those guys that's like he seems. He's so afraid to make, hey, go throw a pick right away or go throw a bad ball right away. And it's like, okay, the worst case scenario happened. Now you can go out and play a little free because it's like you're never going to be perfect. He's got this whole.

[Delaney Walker]

But you. He ripping it. He's just not connected.

[Taylor Rapp]

And we watched the deep one with the Devontae Smith. He had him wide open.

[Delaney Walker]

I know we and AJ I mean, people can say AJ slowed down. Whatever.

[Will Compton]

I don't think he slowed down.

[Delaney Walker]

Case was, but he's trying to rip him. It's just he's overthrowing receivers.

[Taylor Rapp]

I know, but like, you know, bro, it's like, you know he can throw a better 50, 50 ball than what he's throwing.

[Delaney Walker]

True.

[Taylor Rapp]

He's just. He's missing a little bit more. I don't know if that's just the talent aspect, the risk averse stuff, whatever it is. But yeah, like, even the 50, 50 balls, like he's missing, he's not being accurate with this.

[Will Compton]

We're talking so much about the offense, the defense. Jalen Carter, he's got the heel issue that he's destroyed through all the time. He's out for this last game. He might be out for this game as well. Their number one corner, he was out in the last game with a hamstring issue. Adore Jackson gets benched. The other corner so bad, they bench him to put Adore Jackson back in. So, you know, you have two corners. You're on your third and fourth corner.

[Taylor Rapp]

And Darius Smith retired, and he retired after that game.

[Delaney Walker]

He like, I'm done.

[Taylor Rapp]

Yeah. I mean, he's one of their better rushers. I know.

[Delaney Walker]

And scatter.

[Clay Matthews]

Boo.

[Delaney Walker]

How he just made those boys look. I mean, punishing him.

[Clay Matthews]

Bond, man.

[Will Compton]

Bon had a couple of, you know, being an all pro linebacker, you're gonna get got.

[Clay Matthews]

You're gonna get got, but get mine.

[Will Compton]

More than I get a row.

[Taylor Rapp]

I got my moment. It's hanging in the stream room right now.

[Kraken Advertiser]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

Yeah. No, that's a tackle.

[Taylor Rapp]

That was a tackle. Well, Zach Bones, that was a tackle. He just got lifted.

[Will Compton]

Can we. Should we go on? Should we move on?

[Delaney Walker]

I got Vikings. Yeah, Vikings.

[Clay Matthews]

All right. I want to split it with the quarterback. Take note of that. J.J. s. Give me the Eagles. Oh, went. Give me the Vikings.

[Delaney Walker]

What if. What if Max play.

[Clay Matthews]

I'm not worried about him. He's not playing. He's not playing now.

[Delaney Walker]

Y' all say clipboard, though.

[Will Compton]

He'll be there.

[Delaney Walker]

Hey, let's just call quarterback.

[Taylor Rapp]

Tell him Mac Jones.

[Will Compton]

Colts at Chargers. Chargers are favored one and a half. Total points in the game is 48 and a half points.

[Delaney Walker]

I'm going Colts.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, I think it's the Colts, too. They've only punted six times this year.

[Delaney Walker]

Colts. Even though Joe Alt is back.

[Will Compton]

Joe Alt was back last week, too.

[Delaney Walker]

I know. And Mac. Mac should be back, too, this week, but.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, I think you're hurt. Who's the wide receiver for tcu? He's had a breakout year this year.

[Taylor Rapp]

John Quinn Johnson.

[Will Compton]

John Quinn Johnson. He's had a hamstring like it's. He's on my fantasy team, too. It breaks my heart, but he's probably going to be out as well. I mean, Herbert is an incredible quarterback. Him and I mean, lads had himself a couple of drops, but that last drive to put themselves in the field. Goal range to win the game last week was awesome.

[Delaney Walker]

Awesome.

[Will Compton]

But I look at this Colts defense is playing well. The offense like I just said is only have only punted six times. I like them a lot. Yeah, I like them a lot. Last time they went out to the west coast it didn't work out well for them. I think they flipped the script this time. Give me the Colts.

[Clay Matthews]

Their offensive line is so good too. Just watching Jonathan Taylor, the Mules favorite running back here averaging over 100 yards a game. And then you had Tyler Warren who I was introduced to when they, when he played SC last year, like 20 receptions. But yeah, not only is he making plays receiving, but they line him up at fullback back there like lead on DBs and linebackers in the stretch game and he's not afraid to stick his space in there, dare I say top five tight end right now.

[Will Compton]

I mean he's TV copy. They were talking about, hey, this wallet Warren, Warren, this war he's going to be. He's a Pro bowl all pro guy.

[Clay Matthews]

This year and he's got that long blonde hair too. So you know, he's a dog. You know what I'm saying?

[Delaney Walker]

I don't know about.

[Clay Matthews]

You know about that. Okay.

[Will Compton]

You a dog or you want to. Yeah, you know what I'm talking about.

[Clay Matthews]

Damn.

[Will Compton]

I thought all pro West Hollywood. What do you got? Will you.

[Taylor Rapp]

I am. I'm going Chargers here. China's Chargers minus one and a half. I look at who the Colts have played, it's the Dolphins. They got lucky with the Broncos. They played the Titans. They lost to the Rams. They beat up on the Raiders and then they got, they got away with one at home against the Cardinals, only beating them by four points. I think. Yeah, they do have injuries going on. Love some lad McConkey, he's going to step up this game a little bit. Even with the running backs out. Number 30. I don't know his name but he toted the rock pretty well. They got back to running the football after they ran it only what, 15 times a couple weeks ago and it's just like, hey, let's just get back to running the football. They do a good job of running the football. They ran it over 20 times this past game. I think they're going to identify trying to establish a running game against the Colts and again I think the Colts, it's like they're five and one right now. But are they a legitimate five and one team again? They lost to the Rams. I think with Herbert coming in this is like an elite Style quarterback. This is a team that's going to formulate a good game plan to stay in this game and at home. I like the Chargers minus one and a half to cover.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, everyone always says that. La, the LA fan bases always go super hard on Sundays.

[Clay Matthews]

Ah, that's what they say.

[Delaney Walker]

I don't know about that.

[Clay Matthews]

Played in la. It's a joke.

[Delaney Walker]

Oh, okay.

[Will Compton]

Okay. I agree. They've established the run. The thing I worry about is they're down to the third running back right now.

[Taylor Rapp]

He. He was pretty salty.

[Will Compton]

He was salty in Michigan, too. He had dressed by the Titans.

[Delaney Walker]

Oh, he did.

[Taylor Rapp]

Who is this?

[Delaney Walker]

Hasan Haskins.

[Clay Matthews]

He didn't do a whole lot, but imani did.

[Taylor Rapp]

Yeah, 30 was toting it around. I think George's got a shot. And again, you got Herbert. This is more quarterback than the guys that they've been beating up.

[Delaney Walker]

True, Very true. He a quarterback that's going to put it on his back, but I don't know. The Colts is Herbert.

[Taylor Rapp]

Yeah, Colts look good right now. They go 6 and 1. I just. We all know the game is kind of built for that. 9 and 8, 10 and 10 and 7. Middle of the pack. I think it corrects itself a little bit. And Chargers kind of have to have it with the way the Chiefs are playing right now with the Broncos kind of sitting at the top of the division. Obviously the Raiders aren't doing a whole lot, but the Chargers kind of have to have this game.

[Will Compton]

Have to have it because they started out strong this year. Real strong. Interesting. You're going away from the Chargers.

[Taylor Rapp]

Yeah. I thought you'd be going.

[Will Compton]

I thought this was like, oh, Dillon Chargers in the situation for sure.

[Delaney Walker]

I know. And it's.

[Taylor Rapp]

And this has got to happen. They still came off a. I know.

[Delaney Walker]

It's just after last, you know, I don't know, I just. I feel like the Colts is a better team. I'm just going to stick with my gut. And it's fucked up because I'm actually about to be at the Chargers facility on Friday, so I hope they don't see this.

[Clay Matthews]

They're not gonna let you in.

[Delaney Walker]

Hope they don't see this. You feel me?

[Taylor Rapp]

Night Football Falcons Atlanta traveling over to San Francisco. Falcons underdogs in this game, niners favored by two and a half. The over under on this game is 47 and a half.

[Will Compton]

I'm so lost when it comes to this game.

[Delaney Walker]

49Ers is injured.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, they're injured, but they find a way. I know they find a way. And you have the Falcons that have to travel across the country and they're the team. Like they're super hot and they're super cold. They have a dominant win on Monday night. I mean, I'll tell you what, there's not an offensive line that runs 11 personnel wide zone better than that team. Oh yeah, your boy Jake, Is he okay?

[Clay Matthews]

By the way you know, you know he'll be out there on, on Sunday. What is it, Sunday night.

[Taylor Rapp]

That's a war horse. From talking. He's a warhorse, bro.

[Will Compton]

But his age. I watched the film. He is moving guys off the ball. He's getting cut offs.

[Clay Matthews]

That cut off on that 81 yard run.

[Will Compton]

Unbelievable. And hey, he did kind of get got. Gave him the reach around.

[Clay Matthews]

Perfect.

[Will Compton]

Very nice move.

[Clay Matthews]

Savvy.

[Delaney Walker]

Yeah, that's that.

[Will Compton]

But like that's, that's where they're so dangerous. If they can have an effective run game. There's, I mean London out there. Pitts is out there. Like they have a lot of guys that can go and catch the ball, but they can keep them in like sub defense and run the ball more effectively than I, I've seen on film this year.

[Delaney Walker]

And the middle linebacker being out for the 49ers, that is a key.

[Clay Matthews]

Terrible.

[Delaney Walker]

I mean, surgery.

[Will Compton]

Yeah. He had Delaney Walker.

[Delaney Walker]

No, it was turned the opposite way.

[Will Compton]

I know. It was fucked up.

[Taylor Rapp]

Yeah.

[Clay Matthews]

Dislocated.

[Delaney Walker]

Yeah.

[Clay Matthews]

Yeah.

[Taylor Rapp]

Look at the back view when he rolled over. That thing was sideways.

[Delaney Walker]

Mines was sideways.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, yeah. Mines was sideways. Put the burger sideways.

[Clay Matthews]

Not yet. I bet against the Falcons twice when they played obviously this past week and then when they played the Vikings earlier because I think I was mistaken. I was, I was looking at Penix, you know, as he's too up and down. But what I should have been looking at is Bijan and how the offense runs through him. So as long as they keep giving him the ball, running for 100 plus yards, you know, an extension of the run game by just giving them dump offs and whatnot for 60, 70, whatever it may be. Like you said, Taylor, I think, I think the 49ers can't overcome all the injuries they've had. They've kept it close. Even the fact that they were in that Buccaneers game, I mean, I mean Mac still looked incredible, both teams. But I like the Falcons on this. I think they keep that momentum over huge win. All the, the comments coming afterwards, we're here to stay, you know, you name it. So I like them moving forward. I got them this week.

[Taylor Rapp]

You're saying you don't know where to go. You go Falcons, you go Falcons. You're seeing it right?

[Will Compton]

But here. But here. But this is what makes me worried is I see the run, I see the outside zone. They're essentially dominating the line of scrimmage. You go to that wide view and you see that line of scrimmage move 2 yards in favor of the offensive line. And then I go and show them, hey, that fucking offensive line is incredible. And you brought up a great point. It's like, hey, that front seven for the Buffalo Bills are undersized. And, like, we're definitely outmatched. So I look at the 49ers. Like, are they great at rushing the passer right now? No, but, I mean, their. Their defensive linemen can stand up a little bit in the run.

[Taylor Rapp]

So I went to they, and they are. Atlanta right now is the number one team in the league at rushing the football. Their number one concept, you already know, and you already said it, it is that wide zone. They get you going lateral. The offensive line is doing a great job of cutting guys off. So I go back and I. I clip it. I filter it to where I can watch. Wide zone against the 49ers, this is a defensive line who tries to penetrate. They're not playing the man. They're not stepping later on playing the man. You know, allow backers to run free. You lose your eraser, an absolute eraser, in the game with Fred Warner.

[Delaney Walker]

Yeah.

[Taylor Rapp]

Like, this is a guy who can correct things that are kind of going sideways a little bit. You lose that going along with a D line that tries to penetrate, they're going to get reached. They're going to get scooped. Bijan's going to have his way. I love the Falcons here. And, yeah, they've been up and down. They've been hot and cold. They seem like they're figuring out. I know Danny O. He absolutely hates them being in Pistol. I think that's kind of like, why, you know, why are they in Pistol so much? But I think they're going to continue to get better. And this defense is fucking nasty, bro. Number one pass defense in the league. And the Buffalo Bills came in and they shut it down. Held them to, like, 180. And you watch the film, like, the rookies, they're getting after it. Caden Ellis, 55, Little Salty Boy out there with effort plays. Not only effort plays, but lining up on the edge, making spin moves. And whoever they draft in the first round, it's number 11. I forget it was. What is his name? Jalen Walker's coming alive. Like, the defense flies to the football. This is Falcons. It's got Falcons written all over.

[Clay Matthews]

I'm gonna go like it.

[Will Compton]

I'm gonna go Falcons. Let me just give you a little tidbit from an offensive line standpoint. When you're playing penetrators versus two gappers, two gapping defenses versus the wide zone, you're not going to have massive explosive plays because you're running with the offensive line, you're kind of keeping it, letting your linebackers do their thing. When it comes to penetrators, it's harder to get more consistent runs. But more times than not you have explosive runs.

[Delaney Walker]

Yeah, because you penetrate he gonna cut back into the hole.

[Will Compton]

If one guy gets a cutoff, I don't know, maybe It's a salty 12 year vet. Left tackle Jake Matthews gets himself a nice cutoff on a penetrating technique. That's when it's an absolute sieve. So it makes me like. But also when it comes to the penetrators, like the wide zone is predicated. There's so many different things. But whoever is the point of attack, let's say it's the left tackle is the point of attack. If he does not get moving the ball, everything else gets bottlenecked to where you can't cut off in enough steps, steps. So you're getting hitting that, hitting the back of the line of scrimmage. If these tackles are able to get movement on penetrators, then he gives them a little more time on the inside to get those cutoffs. I feel a whole lot better about that. But it's, it's always painful.

[Delaney Walker]

Well, that's why I see this game plan too. They may have a slicer just because of that. If that penetrator gets upfield on the playside play, that slicer comes back and because they gonna leave that in right and then we pick that in up. Now that cutback is clear to cut back off of.

[Taylor Rapp]

And if you're gonna have penetrators, you're gonna have to have absolute dogs at the correct. I'm telling you, if Fred not there, it's, it's going to be a different team.

[Will Compton]

I'm with you. I'll go Falcons.

[Delaney Walker]

I mean Drake London been balling too like this. The Drake London we all know.

[Will Compton]

30 points from him in fantasy this week.

[Clay Matthews]

Former Trojan 160 yards. Hey, I look at you. Wait till we talk about Leonard Williams. Hey, but I like that play by him. Like I knew he was going to take heat at the end of the first half when he caught that pass. I'm doing the same thing. Like I'm trying to score. Like just be an athlete. I know his foot touched out of bounds and I'm sure you know, the critics might say otherwise trying to get the three points, but I liked it.

[Delaney Walker]

No, I'm good.

[Will Compton]

Are you becoming more of a college football fan though? Your team's good.

[Clay Matthews]

No, I'm. I'm like, I'm right down the road. Like NFL.

[Taylor Rapp]

It's probably like down the. It's probably been like, you know, take it, leave it. But now that usc, I think is playing like good football. Sorry, football. It's probably made you want to watch the game.

[Clay Matthews]

No, there was a lull before Caleb Williams was there in between whoever was before. And then now that it's come back and it's all. I mean, I see last year was a tough year. I think there was like five or six losses. But no, I've always supported them. It's just hard when you're losing four, five, six games a year to. You know what I'm saying, to. And for some. For a school like SC, you need to be in the top 10 at least just with their pedigree and history.

[Taylor Rapp]

Yeah, you're not built to see many losses on.

[Clay Matthews]

Right.

[Delaney Walker]

But Caleb was a transfer, right?

[Clay Matthews]

He was a transfer. But I'm just saying he made it fun.

[Delaney Walker]

No, he made it fun. He was balling until he, until he got later in the year when, you.

[Clay Matthews]

Know, he started losing his. Yeah, this was his junior year. He was incredible.

[Taylor Rapp]

He was incredible.

[Clay Matthews]

Junior, senior, whatever you want to call it. His last year though, he still was playing unbelievable. Like his stats weren't the same, but the defense was. They would score 50, they give up 51. It was always a defense. So the defense is just slowly ticking up to where you know, the offense is at.

[Will Compton]

Let's talk about the Texans and the Seahawks. Texans are at the Seahawks. They have travel across the country. Seahawks are favored 3 1/2. Total points in the game is 40 1/2 points. Saints keep it simple. Kiss Method Seahawks people are going to talk about the Houston Texans defensive line, how they are able to rush the pasture. The Seahawks offensive line is one of the best in protecting against the pass rush. They are one of the best. This is a good on good game. Sam Darnold, give him a little time with jsn. I love them. Yeah, I love them in this game.

[Delaney Walker]

Home field advantage.

[Taylor Rapp]

Strong pass.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, I get it. I would have loved the two and a half on this one.

[Delaney Walker]

Would have loved to get a three.

[Taylor Rapp]

And a half because the Texans, their, their offense has started to come along and they just had a bye week, correct?

[Clay Matthews]

Yep. I'm riding with you if you pick it.

[Delaney Walker]

Wait, is old buddy coming back? Is the little receiver coming back? What's his name? Tank Dell. Tank Dell. Is he back this week or not?

[Taylor Rapp]

This is a hard One, bro.

[Clay Matthews]

This is a hard one.

[Taylor Rapp]

God damn it.

[Delaney Walker]

That fly flies everywhere, bro.

[Clay Matthews]

The Texans like their three losses by a combined 13 points to the Rams, the Bucks and the Jags. I know they started 03, but you saw. And I know they played, you know, Baltimore before their bye week. But they look good. They put up 44 points. C.J. stroud, 244 yards. Damn near perfect passer rating their defense.

[Will Compton]

And you talk about their offense coming alive. I just looked at their schedule. They beat the Titans 26 to 0. Not the most high flying defense out there. Are they not? And they played the Ravens, who have nothing.

[Taylor Rapp]

Confidence. I agree. And going into the bye week, you did win.

[Will Compton]

You just went on a whole thing about McDonald, his defense. Everyone wants to talk about the Seattle offense, but their defense is really playing. They got after the quarterback quite a bit. Everyone's turning on. It's at Seattle too, which that means nothing.

[Taylor Rapp]

No.

[Clay Matthews]

Whatever the record is, check me on this. They lose for whatever reason. They're like ten and one on the road. They have not played well. Now it is a 9 o' clock game, Centra. At least for us.

[Delaney Walker]

Wait 9am Monday Night Football, bro.

[Clay Matthews]

Those fans are going to be liquored up. They're going to be roaring out there.

[Taylor Rapp]

But.

[Clay Matthews]

Bro, I'm the Bucks and the Seahawks, I'm so high on. But I like the Texans with the upset here.

[Delaney Walker]

That's what's up.

[Clay Matthews]

Give me the Texans money. Straight up money line.

[Will Compton]

You heard him.

[Delaney Walker]

You get that going.

[Taylor Rapp]

I love it.

[Will Compton]

All right. What were you last week?

[Clay Matthews]

All right.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, I feel good about that. I'm gonna. Give me. Give me the Seahawks.

[Clay Matthews]

I'm gonna chase it. Gotta go chase it. Gotta chase it.

[Will Compton]

You can chase it with the points.

[Delaney Walker]

Y' all know I'm going Seahawks. Sam Darnold beasted home field advantage. Strong pass defense, pressure game is on point. Seahawks taking this.

[Taylor Rapp]

That's all I needed to hear. Texans. God damn it.

[Clay Matthews]

Thank you.

[Taylor Rapp]

Texas plus three and a half. Thank you. I think there's a world where the COVID happens here. It's just a late game field goal game. Texans with the points. Texans with the points.

[Delaney Walker]

Prime time in Seattle, y'. All. Have you ever played in Seattle on prime time?

[Clay Matthews]

Yeah.

[Delaney Walker]

You have?

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Delaney Walker]

Yeah. You know it's lit. I know it's fucking lit.

[Will Compton]

All pro middle line.

[Delaney Walker]

Didn't you pick off Russ Wilson in primetime?

[Taylor Rapp]

It wasn't prime time. It was an afternoon game.

[Delaney Walker]

Yeah, it was a 10 tag game.

[Taylor Rapp]

One pick, two drops, 12 o'.

[Delaney Walker]

Clock, 12 drop picks.

[Will Compton]

This one Russell Wilson had some something to his name.

[Clay Matthews]

I'm talking one hall of fame, one dangerous drop.

[Taylor Rapp]

Pick six, bro. Why delayed to the flat and Russ was just left muffined it out there.

[Will Compton]

And oh God, you saw the goal line before you saw the ball.

[Delaney Walker]

Knew. He knew you was going to drop.

[Taylor Rapp]

That Seattle game was my middle finger game. It's my middle finger game.

[Delaney Walker]

He knew you was going to drop it though.

[Taylor Rapp]

I didn't drop one.

[Delaney Walker]

You dropped two.

[Taylor Rapp]

Yeah, one I had to elevate and get a little high on maybe a little out of my wheelhouse. I got one on them. We were double digit point underdogs in that game too. Offensive line, injuries across the board. We went in there and beat their ass.

[Delaney Walker]

I'm not gonna cap was like, you either beat the shit out of them or they surprisingly win the game.

[Taylor Rapp]

And you probably know the gif too. This one where I'm riding the horse.

[Delaney Walker]

I never seen that.

[Taylor Rapp]

You saw that gift? That's like one of the more popular gifts on X. I don't know what the fuck. I celebrated.

[Will Compton]

I got a haircut.

[Taylor Rapp]

I celebrated.

[Will Compton]

We can talk about Will's career any day of the week.

[Delaney Walker]

I don't know what are we talking about, Taylor?

[Taylor Rapp]

I celebrated so hard in this game. I rode the horse and then I did Steve Austin's fake beers all over it. Like I'm just. And I'm sitting on the bench, I'm looking at the cameras, I'm winking at the table.

[Delaney Walker]

Ain't gonna cap. Hey, did you win, Will?

[Clay Matthews]

The team win.

[Taylor Rapp]

Yeah, bro. 1716 double digit underdogs.

[Delaney Walker]

You goddamn right I ain't watched that.

[Clay Matthews]

That's why the Texans gonna win this.

[Delaney Walker]

I really enjoyed the can of worms with this one. I didn't watch that game. Be honest.

[Will Compton]

[Will Compton]

Good, feel good, play good. Back to this episode. All right, let's get to the true classic game of the week. Every weekend's got games, but only one fits just right. It's the true classic game of the week. Tampa Bay Buccaneers at the Detroit lions. Baker Mayfield versus Jared Goff, Lions five and a half total points 52 and a half. I love the Lions in this game. I don't love the number.

[Delaney Walker]

I'm going to let y' all pick, and I'm gonna go away from y' all because I just want to show y' all I'm fading.

[Will Compton]

The Bucs are spicy. The Bucks are hot. The Bucks are riddled with injuries right now. The Lions, everyone thinks they're the greatest team in the NFL. They take. They take an L last week. I'm gonna go Lions.

[Delaney Walker]

Thank you.

[Will Compton]

I'm gonna go Lions. Five and a half. I know it's it's a. It's a big line.

[Delaney Walker]

All of y' all take it, please.

[Will Compton]

But I think everyone's getting on. Tampa, the Way everyone was getting on the Lions and the Lions, everyone kind of dips. When everyone's like, when you. When you start to crown teams, that's when they take a dip. That's when they start to take a dip. I like Detroit at Detroit. I'm taking five and a half.

[Clay Matthews]

I like. Sorry, go ahead.

[Taylor Rapp]

Lions are going to win by two scores. Lions are going to win by two scores. I think this game seems very exciting. I think when the Bucs get healthy, they're one of the best teams in the NFL. Definitely one of the best teams in the nfc. But all the injuries going on and. Yeah, Baker's playing electric still. A couple throws. He misses on. And I just think the Lions too, like, that was a heavyweight fight. When you watch the Chiefs in the Lions, I said it wasn't. This isn't a look ahead to a potential Super Bowl. The way that game was played was very much a look ahead at a potential super bowl matchup. Chiefs got to the red zone, what, seven times. They score on six of them. Like they had a plan. They were rolling. And they got a couple situations in the second half to where the Chiefs come out and score. They make the Lions punt. Turnover on down situation happens for the Lions. They kind of just get out of it. But they're going to be hungry. They're going to be ready to go. I think this defense will be a little too much for the Buccaneers, and I think the offense will continue to continue to roll because they look very good. Chiefs just got them on a couple of them where they made them punt at halftime because it was 2017 there in the fourth quarter. Like that game was still close. And again on the fourth down that they didn't convert, Amon Ra just drops the ball. He's not going to drop the ball again.

[Will Compton]

No. And also the Chiefs, not the greatest team in the red zone the. Since the beginning of the year.

[Taylor Rapp]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

All of a sudden go in this time, six out of seven Chiefs look good.

[Taylor Rapp]

I'll tell you, Chiefs, you guys real good.

[Clay Matthews]

I like. I like the Lions. I like the Lions, too. I think they missed. They had. They had several gotta have it plays starting with, you know, they spend 10 minutes driving down the field. What's up next?

[Delaney Walker]

He's.

[Taylor Rapp]

He's 14, 22. He's like, thank you. Like, this is gonna be.

[Clay Matthews]

This is it. This is. He knows what I tell him. It's good to go, bro. Like, you know, it starts with that. Gotta have it at the goal line. Obviously, whatever happens with the illegal format, whatever the Whatever the penalty was, they had that fourth down.

[Taylor Rapp]

Jared catching the ball. Touchdown.

[Delaney Walker]

Yeah, man, that was some bullshit.

[Clay Matthews]

Settle for three points. You know, the fourth down, they don't get it, but they got bullied in that game. The reality is, so I see them coming home, playing a Bucks team that's just decimated. You lose a Buka who's playing so well for them, and, you know, Baker didn't. Didn't, you know, miss a beat with those. With those. Johnson and Johnson.

[Taylor Rapp]

Johnson.

[Clay Matthews]

How about that third and 14 run of his? So much, bro.

[Delaney Walker]

That dude is a dog.

[Clay Matthews]

He's a. Two plays later, he throws that. That. I'm forgetting the Johnsons.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Taylor Rapp]

Friend of the show. Shout out Tez Johnson. Hey, did you see two where he was talking like he said. They started chanting mvp. I thought they was talking about me.

[Clay Matthews]

Like, I.

[Taylor Rapp]

What have I done? His teammates like, yeah, your quarterback is Baker Macy. He's like, oh, I didn't even realize it. Give me the Lions.

[Clay Matthews]

Give me the Lions.

[Delaney Walker]

Y' all already know where I'm going. I'm fading these guys.

[Clay Matthews]

Straight up Lions.

[Will Compton]

Five and a half block of the week.

[Delaney Walker]

Hey, I'm just saying. The Buccaneers is a sleeper team. Baker is unbelievable.

[Clay Matthews]

There's nothing sleeper about.

[Delaney Walker]

No, I'm talking about they not a sleeper.

[Will Compton]

One of the best teams in the.

[Delaney Walker]

They not a sleeper. But y' all worried about the mvp Actually have weapons on a team. They. They're on the sidelines that are hurt. They will come in.

[Taylor Rapp]

They're all gonna be watching. Like this one. No.

[Delaney Walker]

Anyone? People come in and they play. They. It's like they don't miss a beat when players get hurt. The Buccaneers have people come off the bench. What you supposed to do as a scouting in a gm? You post to find players who can come off the bench, and you don't feel like you're missing a beat. That's what the Buccaneers have going on. And when you got a quarterback like Baker Mayfield, who's taking charge, who is a fucking dog, you play hard for him because you don't want that dude going to the meet and be like, hey, we don't want to put this man in the game. He don't know what the fuck going on. You don't want to let a guy down like Baker Mayfield. I've been in those shoes. So I know the Buccaneers is going to take the Lions.

[Taylor Rapp]

I feel you on the whole scouting department thing.

[Will Compton]

You taking Buccaneers money line?

[Delaney Walker]

No, I did not say Buccaneers money line.

[Will Compton]

Oh, okay. I just made sure.

[Taylor Rapp]

What is the spread on this five and a half.

[Delaney Walker]

Five and a half.

[Taylor Rapp]

Yeah, yeah.

[Clay Matthews]

Give me the spread.

[Taylor Rapp]

I feel you on the whole scouting next man up. Look, next man up guy. But you're talking about Emeke Egbuka, Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, Bucky, Bucky, Bucky Irving. Which again, they can get the run game going. To me, that's more of a next man up mentality. But some of those heavy hitters on the outside, the rapport that you have with your quarterback on when plays break down and knowing how your QB thinks and everything else, I'm not doubting that they won't be prepared or study and try to do as good as they can. But again, it's like there's a. There's levels.

[Delaney Walker]

Nah, because I look at levels at.

[Taylor Rapp]

Some point, it's like if I'm on the Niners roster, it's like, oh, Willie C, he'll be able to come in and command the defense. But out there and making eraser plays and doing everything else, that's the part you lose. And I think that's what you have on the offensive weapon side with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

[Delaney Walker]

But see, I used to look at it when I played for the 49ers, when Vernon got went down and I was the starter. I'm like, we can't, it can't be a difference. I got to be able to run every play Vernon can run and no one gonna notice a difference. Like, and that's how I looked at it. So I don't know, I'm not, I can't speak for every player, but that's how it should be. When you come in the game, you should want to feel like, hey, it's no difference. Like I'm gonna be, I'm a starter in this league, so I'm gonna come out here, I'm gonna play as a starter.

[Will Compton]

I don't disagree with any of the things you just said. I'm sure every guy who's getting the tap on the helmet this week saying, hey, you're in for Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, Bucky Irving, everyone's saying the same thing you just said. The difference between you and majority of the NFL outside of your, you know, your, your first string guys is there's usually a massive dropout, drop off. From a talent standpoint, you were really well kept secret, the 49ers, but you.

[Taylor Rapp]

Came from Central Missouri.

[Will Compton]

But.

[Delaney Walker]

I know, but then you look at it, every guy had to become the guy. Somehow he got thrown in the fire and he became the guy.

[Will Compton]

Right? And usually that Happens when it's like, man, this wide receiver is out.

[Taylor Rapp]

Out.

[Will Compton]

Let's put this guy in.

[Taylor Rapp]

Like, one guy's down.

[Will Compton]

Four or five. Six.

[Delaney Walker]

Yeah. When four dudes is down, these four.

[Taylor Rapp]

Or five that are gonna be cut.

[Delaney Walker]

More than once, then when you went forward, when they all down and them dudes come in and they make us not. Then another team, like, we gotta have him. You know what I mean? That dude is a beast. He came in, he shitted on everybody.

[Taylor Rapp]

But you're talking about it against the front seven, like the Detroit Lions. Like, we're gonna have those Baker Mayfield specials. I say the front four, but it's only gonna happen so many times. It gets a Detroit line.

[Delaney Walker]

I'd say the front four on Detroit L dogs.

[Taylor Rapp]

You don't think the second level dogs on fly.

[Delaney Walker]

They straight.

[Taylor Rapp]

You talking out. You're talking out of your ass right now.

[Delaney Walker]

They couldn't guard me. They straight.

[Will Compton]

They locked Branch.

[Delaney Walker]

You locked me up easy. No one could lock me up.

[Taylor Rapp]

I never locked you up, bro.

[Clay Matthews]

Branch would have locked up.

[Delaney Walker]

Let's watch the whole damn field. Will couldn't even keep up with me.

[Clay Matthews]

Branch would have locked you up and socked you in the face after the game.

[Delaney Walker]

N. That ain't happening.

[Taylor Rapp]

You been looking like juju.

[Delaney Walker]

That ain't happening. Hey, remember when Miles Garrett hit me in the face? Was I on his hat? I had him worried about me the whole. I'm like, you bitch ass mother mirror. I was coming down.

[Will Compton]

I was suspended.

[Delaney Walker]

No, you played that game.

[Will Compton]

No, that was 2012.

[Delaney Walker]

The Cleveland Brown, when we beat them at home.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, the first game of the year.

[Taylor Rapp]

Oh, yeah.

[Delaney Walker]

You was suspended, right? You was on that shit.

[Will Compton]

I got Jackson Smith and Jay Bow from my. You are on fire. Bet the boys parlay jsn.

[Clay Matthews]

Hey, how'd we do last week? I'm tired of how there's no accountability when we put these out here. I'm just saying only one person didn't hit. Hey, Jonathan Taylor hit. Who do I have? Cause he hit Josh Jacobs twice.

[Taylor Rapp]

Who do I have?

[Delaney Walker]

Only his point did hit.

[Clay Matthews]

Can we do a. Can we do a Bet the boys.

[Will Compton]

That's these boys previous to this week. Clay Matthews missed that last week.

[Clay Matthews]

[Taylor Rapp]

It's just crazy to me that these quarterbacks, these elite quarterbacks are the ones that have this arm talent to just throw it like 50, 60 downfield, and it just drops in the bucket.

[Will Compton]

Dude, that is beautiful to see.

[Taylor Rapp]

Yeah. I just sit there rewinding. I slow it down. I'm like, bro, it's crazy. They're just not breaking stride and they're just dropping.

[Will Compton]

I'll bring my kids and be like, you'll see this no matter what. Look at that throw. And they don't.

[Clay Matthews]

They don't appreciate it.

[Delaney Walker]

Yeah, it's a beautiful sight, man. It's like people chain smoking cigarettes with their windows up in the car. Just beautiful sight.

It's a beautiful sight. Great show.
