Greg Cosell
Now let's get this party started.
- [03:18]
Colin Cowherd
You're listening to Fox Sports Radio. Well, we got we have some really, really interesting matchup as we head into the Thanksgiving weekend with that 46 years at NFL Films. Greg Cosell is joining us. We all get smarter all right, so I thought that was about as well as Caleb has played last week. He still misses layups. He had three passes in the first half. That couple sailed. Philadelphia's defense, especially defensive interior linebacker, is rangy and fast and aggressive. The corners are good. Your thoughts on what you're seeing from Caleb and how it matches up with that Philadelphia defense?
- [04:02]
Greg Cosell
Yeah, I thought Caleb for the most part last week was very controlled, very calculated. The biggest issue that he has, and I heard you talking about the completion percentage. But the thing is he misses routine throws. Those are throws you can miss. If he can clean that up, then his growth will be really, really positive. He's cut down a bit.
- [04:21]
Colin Cowherd
Of course.
- [04:21]
Greg Cosell
I thought his O line last week did a very, very good job against a a tough Steelers pass rush. Obviously Highsmith has been out, but I thought the O line did a really good job. They played Ozzie Tropillo, the rookie from Boston College, at left tackle. I thought he played really well. So he was very controlled, very calculated. And I think the more he plays like that, you know, the number one stat for me and you spoke about a lot of stats, but really for me I think the best stat that really reflects a sense of growth is he does not get sacked a lot. And you and I both know at USC he got sacked a ton, and last year he got sacked a ton. And most people, as soon as you see a quarterback get sacked, they think it's on the O line. That's actually not the case. More sacks are the result of the quarterback than the O line. And this year he's not getting sacked much at all. I think he's only been sacked 15 or 16 times. So to me that's a sure sign of his better understanding of the offense, the offensive concepts, the and obviously he's playing with a new coordinator, so he's developing very nicely.
- [05:26]
Colin Cowherd
Philadelphia's offense, Saquon Barkley is a non factor. Now, is it like baseball? Like, like in baseball, there's arm fatigue. Like a guy comes off a big 300 in a year in spring training, it's a dead arm. I mean, it just doesn't feel like he's got the juice. Or is it the oc? Is it the O line? How do we describe what's going on with Saquon and the Eagles offense?
- [05:50]
Greg Cosell
I mean, I would say the O line is the biggest culprit, Colin. I would say that Jurgens has not played anywhere near as well as he did a year ago. The same can be said for Landon Dickerson at left guard. And Jordan Maialata has not played well this year at all. So what's happening is Barkley does not get past the first level of the defense. Last year he had the most yards gained before 3, first contact of any back in the league. This year he's near the very bottom. He only gains about 2 yards before first contact. So he's not getting past the first level of the defense. So it's almost hard to tell, you know, what, what Barkley is. Because you're not seeing him get out into space. I mean, when he ran 65 yards for a touchdown a number of weeks ago on the second play of the game, he ran away from the defense with no problem. But the O line to me has been the biggest culprit. You know, you can always get into other things. You can try. You know, that's not the way the Eagles have played. The Eagles are basically sticking with the formula that, hey, we have to execute what we do better. And this year that hasn't worked because the O line has not been able to play very well.
- [07:04]
Colin Cowherd
So Shanur Sanders, I said I, I had predicted he'll be 13, 18, and he was thereabouts. I said, he'll have one ugly pick. I think the best thing I can say is that he, he doesn't. There's a looseness. He's kind of a, you know, sometimes to his detriment, he doesn't let the game. He's not intimidated. I don't think he gets necessarily frenetic. He does throw the ball down the field more than Dylan Gabriel, but when I watched him, Greg, I'm like, oh, that's kind of what I saw at Colorado. He misses, he can miss badly. But overall he gives him more of a big play component, doesn't he?
- [07:44]
Greg Cosell
Well, his best play, and it was a great play. And there's no way to say that, other than that was that long pass to Isaiah Bond on third down when they went zero blitz and he was forced out of the pocket immediately and he threw it to Bond. The ball traveled 60 yards in the air. That was, that was again, zero coverage. It was a great ball, but for the most part, Colin, they didn't ask him to do very much. I watched that tape and anytime it was third and long, there was a screen, either a conventional screen or a tunnel screen to a wideout. The touchdown to Sampson here came on third and long and it jacked up his yardage, obviously. So it was a tough game to get a true read on what he is, but will need to see a game because they controlled that game. They were never really. There was no sense in that game that Cleveland was not in control of the game. So we need to see a lot more. I came away from that tape and I know people want to make, you know, immediate judgments about him based on whatever their point of view is. But this was not a game to make any kind of definitive judgment about Shador Sanders.
- [08:51]
Colin Cowherd
I claim after watching Brock Purdy on Monday, his toe's not right. All three of his picks, two of them, especially behind the receiver, and didn't have a ton of velocity. Now he does have multiple picks in four of his, like five starts right there. There is, I, you know, listen, professional athletes, Lamar Jackson I don't think is 100%. They're not going to go out and advertise it. I didn't think Purdy had the velocity. I, I thought his ball just, I mean, kept throwing behind people. What did you make of it?
- [09:21]
Greg Cosell
Well, I think that when Purdy's at his best, he is a high level post snap processor and with incredible anticipation. I think both those things which made him so good his first two years in his career and even much of last season, you're not seeing those two things at the same level that we've seen them in the past. And that's what he has to play as because he's not a velocity thrower to begin with. Colin, as you know, he's not a guy that's going to sit on his back foot and drive the football at the intermediate level. So right now the, the post snap operation for him is not quite at the same level we've seen before. And what happens there, the result of that is the anticipation is just a notch late. And that's what we saw. The first interception by Horn, not the one we're looking at now, but the first one was a classic Example of that. He was just a beat late turning it loose and it allowed Horn to undercut Jennings. So this is the one I'm speaking about. The last interception by Horn, you really can't put on Purdy. That was about as good a play by a corner as you'll ever see. There's no way that a quarterback would have accounted for Horn on the play we're looking at right now.
- [10:33]
Colin Cowherd
Okay, let's talk Chiefs, Cowboys.
- [10:37]
Greg Cosell
Yep.
- [10:37]
Colin Cowherd
You know, we all kind of, you know, poke fun at Jerry Jones, but over shown now that he's healthy. He was great at Texas. He is a player they're still getting pressure on the quarterback without Micah Quinn and Williams and Kenny Clark have made it much more difficult to run on them. I mean this defense and they're going to get an edge rusher in the draft. They got two first round picks, you know, they're going to address that. I don't know. I like my eyes tell me just on their defense, forget offense yet on defense.
- [11:09]
Greg Cosell
Right.
- [11:10]
Colin Cowherd
They're pretty athletic. That's what I see.
- [11:14]
Greg Cosell
Yeah. I mean those three interior D linemen with Williams, with Clark and Diggie Zua are really, really good. And they were a problem last week for the Eagles. Their concern and their linebacker, you mentioned overshow in their linebacker position. They're playing a lot of guys. They have a deep rotation. They're clearly more athletic. The concern for them is at the corner position and that that weakness, and I believe it's a weakness, can crop up in any game and you never know when that'll be. It did not hurt them in any great way last week against three. Philadelphia. But that's Philadelphia now they're playing the Chiefs and the Chiefs are a very odd passing team. Mahomes could be one of the most unique players that I've ever evaluated and studied throughout his career. Colin. Because he's not really a pocket technician the way we think of pocket technicians, he's truly a playmaker and he has unbelievable vision, unbelievable awareness of what he's seeing now. He can make throws from the pocket. I don't want to suggest he can't do that.
- [12:17]
Sophie Cunningham
But.
- [12:18]
Greg Cosell
But when you watch their tape week in and week out and study every play as I do when I watch the coaching tape, you don't see a ton of refined subtlety in their pass game, particularly at the intermediate level. Mahomes has the most passing attempts, most passing completions and most passing yards behind the line of scrimmage of any quarterback in the league. It's a very odd mix but he's just a different cat and he's very difficult to play against.
- [12:47]
Colin Cowherd
Listen, I say this about the Cowboys. Dak is having a year, two star receivers. The young O line is a little unpredictable and pass pro. Pretty good run blocking line it seems to me.
- [12:59]
Greg Cosell
They're very, their guards are really good.
- [13:02]
Colin Cowherd
Really good guards, very few three and outs. They're excellent on third down. Still too many penalties. But I, we can credit Dak Shotenheimer, George Pickens. This offense is absolutely legit. There's no reason. I mean Jerry Jones may be a better GM than we give him credit for, but on film I think they can really go after defense in the draft because I, I like what I see. I think it's an elite, exceptional offense.
- [13:29]
Greg Cosell
Well, I, I bet most people would be surprised by this given stat. Javante Williams has the second most first down rushes of any back in the league and he's rarely ever talked about. And he's averaging 5.3 yards per carry on first down. The only back, believe it or not, that has down rushes than Williams is not Jonathan Taylor, it's James Cook. So they run the ball on first down. This is not just a let's toss it all over the yard passing game. And George Pickens, you know, I remember watching him his freshman year at Georgia. Okay. And he dominated the SEC as a freshman at Georgia. He is so extremely gifted. Now normally they line him up as the boundary X, the single receiver to the short side of the field, but they're starting to move him around Colin, and he is a very, very difficult cover. And just in terms of physical athletic traits and hands, he's a top five receiver in the league.
- [14:26]
Colin Cowherd
Wow. Yeah. No, he was something else at Georgia. All right, let's talk Packers Lions early game on Fox tomorrow. So now last week was tricky because I believe Matt LaFleur because Jordan loves non throwing shoulders. Bang. That was protecting him. And I also think they didn't think J.J. mcCarthy could move the ball against their defense. So they were hyper, conservative, hyper. And that was the game plan. But overall this year I watched Green Bay and I've told the audience they're actually good but for the first time in 30 years, it's their defense that feels like it carries the offense. So that's not Green Bay. Do you think the offense is a little broken or this? It's just more of their top talents on the other side.
- [15:11]
Greg Cosell
I don't think the offense is broken. I think, you know, and again, I don't know about Love's shoulder. Maybe that was the reason. But I think that Mandalaflor has always wanted to have a balanced offense. You know, the one thing we did notice last week with Love is that he did not really push it down the field. I think he had only one pass attempt that went more than 20 yards in the air from the line of scrimmage. But we know he's capable of making those throws. He does not turn the ball over very much. He plays very controlled and efficient football. I'm sure it wasn't on anybody's bingo card that Emmanuel Wilson would have 28 carries, but that's the way that game played out and I think that he wants to play that way again. 28 carries is a lot. That's more than in most games, even if you do want to run the football. But I don't think, you know, from studying Love on tape this year, I don't think Love's played poor football. You know, it's just, it's been one of those odd years where they just haven't hit the same number of big explosive plays that we've seen them hit in the past. But this defense has played well and I think that's in this game where the rubber is going to meet the road. Because the Lions, since Dan Campbell took over the play calling, they really want to run the football. I think he's gotten back to putting Goff under center. They want that for the run game. They want that for the play action pass game, which they're really good at and have been for a number of years. And I think that in this particular matchup that the Lions, particularly at home are going to feel like we have to line up and we have to run the football.
- [16:37]
Colin Cowherd
Okay, and let's talk about the Lions. Listen, Jameer Gibbs is just doesn't even look like. I mean, he gets shot out of a cannon. He saved him last week. I mean, he is in that. You know, everybody always says don't draft a running back early. The kid at Notre Dame, Jeremiah Love, to me looks like a first round running back. I don't have a problem. I think every other year there's a running back I watch in college and go, Zeke Barkley, like, okay, that's a first round running back. Jameer Gibbs. What does Jameer Gibbs look on? I know what he looks like on my television. What's he look like on film?
- [17:10]
Greg Cosell
Well, I remember watching him the summer after he played at Georgia Tech, before he trained. He was transferring to Alabama and I thought this guy was ridiculously special then. But Gibbs, you know, what every offense looks for is explosive plays. And he gives you that. And again, it's the eye formation. And the thing about Gibbs, the thing last week was Gibbs played 50 snaps and Montgomery only played 23. Now, I don't know if that's going to continue throughout the rest of the season, but let's take a look at Gibbs because I think just his speed is just crazy. And that's the play I chose. You know, we always talk quarterbacks, Colin, but I think when you talk about the Lions, you kind of have to look at Jameer Gibbs. I mean, he's had some huge games. You nailed it. He saved them last week. I mean, he gained 219 yards rushing. Here's the play that we want to break down. And again, I spoke about the fact that since Dan Campbell took over, you're seeing more eye formation. You're seeing that here. Goff is under center, Gibbs is the eye back. This is the way they want to, I think, start their offense. And one of the things that really stood out last week, six O line personnel, okay, 15 snaps of it. And they gained 37% of their total yards out of six O line personnel. And Dan Skipper was the sixth O lineman. So he played 15 snaps. And on this with right where he's lined up, this is a run formation all the way. And what they're going to do here is run outside zone to the wide side of the field. So now what you're going to do here is you're going to see the four play side blocks. And this is done about as well as you can do it as we watch this. And you're going to see it in slow motion. But this is just getting a hat on a hat. This is about as good as it gets. Play side. And you can see everybody on the o line, the 4o lineman and right, the tight end. They are blocking exceedingly well. Now the key thing with a lot of zone runs, because what are you trying to do? Stretch the front side and cut off the backside. So the backside is critical. And the critical block here is by Taylor Decker, the left tackle. This is a really hard block. It's a backside cutoff block. In fact, this is a block, Colin, that a lot of O line coaches look when they evaluate college offensive linemen. They look to see if this block can be made because this is a really difficult block. And look what Deckard does. He's able to get inside of the defensive lineman. That is really hard. And then you see the other block by the, by the left guard here. And that's the gap in which Gibbs is going to run through. Gibbs makes himself skinny. And what do we know about Gibbs? I mean he is so fast. I mean, when he gets to the second level, hey, we spoke earlier about Barkley. He's not getting to the second level right here. Gibbs gets to the second and now third level. And the juice he has, he just outruns angles. So I'm going to be fascinated. You talked about the packers defense. To me, that side of the ball is the most fascinating in this matchup. To me, the Lions offense, Packers defense.

Jason McIntyre
No, no, no.
- [25:11]
Greg Cosell
Turn on the news.
- [25:12]
Colin Cowherd
This is the Herd Line news.
- [25:15]
Jason McIntyre
All right, let's start with Ceedee Lamb. Colin. You know, it's funny. Pickens is having such a good season. We're not talking about CD Lamb and all his drops. He had three drops against the Eagles on Sunday. Remember, in week one, he also had three drops.
- [25:28]
Colin Cowherd
Yep.
- [25:28]
Jason McIntyre
That's kind of crazy. He's got eight on the season. And he says, yeah, I know that's a problem.
- [25:34]
Commercial Announcer 2
It's really just lack of focus on my end, honestly, just thinking of doing two before one, and there's been plenty.
- [25:40]
Greg Cosell
Of that going on.
- [25:41]
Commercial Announcer 2
And by that, I mean I'm thinking about my next move before catching the ball and things of that nature. There's not really much on anybody else but myself, and I've never been the.
- [25:50]
Greg Cosell
Type to really point the finger.
- [25:52]
Commercial Announcer 2
But, yeah, it's all on me, and.
- [25:55]
Greg Cosell
I gotta handle that.
- [25:56]
Colin Cowherd
Yeah, it's mostly been against the Eagles and the two Eagle games.
- [25:59]
Greg Cosell
He's.
- [26:00]
Colin Cowherd
He's really had a bunch of drops. I still think he's a number one. He's just maybe, you know, those are big games. Those are great corners. There's a lot of pressure in those. That's the biggest rival for him. Maybe it's that. But listen, I still trust him. If the ball's in the air, he's a tremendous player.
- [26:15]
Jason McIntyre
So if you're scoring at home, remember in Vegas, he said, I can hold my liquor. So he can hold on to his liquor, can hold on to the football. Against The Eagles, obviously, CDs really good. I just wonder if Pickens has been so good that maybe lands in his head about shucks. I mean, Pickens got more looks than he did more targets last year.
- [26:35]
Colin Cowherd
Well, they're. They're different. Cd. CD gets real separation. Whereas I always feel like Pickens is stronger, more of a. Less catching rate. Yeah, he's. But he's so good after the catch. I mean, they're. Listen there. I always thought Pickens was a talented two. I wouldn't build around him. He's been a dominant one this year.
- [26:54]
Jason McIntyre
Yeah, 100%. All right, let's move on to Jaden Daniels. A forgotten man, a forgotten season. The Washington quarterback suffered that nasty elbow injury on November 2, head coach Dan Quinn said this week. Daniels is set to return to practice, but he has not yet been cleared for contact Colin, just help me make sense of this. They're three, eight. They're not going to the playoffs. And Jaden Daniels is out here saying, if I'm back out there unhealthy, I'm ready to go. I want to be out there. Like, I don't know. I'm extra cautious with, with stars in the NBA, in the NFL. I don't want to see Jaden Daniels on the field again this season. What's the point?
- [27:32]
Colin Cowherd
Well, he's a pro athlete and he's competitive and wants to play. I mean, that's great.
- [27:35]
Jason McIntyre
Yeah, that's.
- [27:36]
Colin Cowherd
In any, in any field. You're healthy, you're aggressive, you're competitive. I want to be on the field. I think I have no problem him playing. I really don't. I think young quarterbacks need more reps. It's one thing again, if he was 37 years old, it was Matt Stafford or Aaron. That's different. Young guys get him out there. He's still in the learning process of how to be a quarterback. Get him snaps. Yeah.
- [27:58]
Jason McIntyre
He's also learning how to play behind that rotten offensive line, which is getting him killed. And so he's running for his life and getting hurt. Colin, you get injured in December and it's major. You're going to miss part of next season.
- [28:09]
Colin Cowherd
You can't think about that.
- [28:10]
Greg Cosell
No.
- [28:10]

You know what you could do? You can have them on the headset, listening on the sideline, and you get a higher draft pick. How about this? Would you rather win six games, go six and 11 with Jaden Daniels playing down the stretch and pick 11th, or win four games and draft, I don't know, fifth with Jaden Daniels sitting. Think about the long term, and I.
- [28:30]
Colin Cowherd
Think either 5th or 11th, you're getting a starter. You're probably getting an offensive tackle that starts at left or right for you because there's three great O tackles and they'll. At least two of them will be available by the 11th pick. So what they want, they're going to get regardless.

And by the way, they have two games left against the Eagles, who will be fighting for the number one seed. You want your quarterback suiting up against those Eagles? That defense is nasty. Here's a commando schedule. Yeah, they, they. I mean, come on, the Denver defense, that's a nasty unit. Brian Flores, all he wants to do is blitz. The New York Giants, Eagles, Cowboys. I don't know, man. I'm. I'm extra cautious. Just mark me down as I want my stars healthy when it matters. And this game don't mean anything. Final Story Colin there's been a lot of rumors about one Kevin Stefanski intentionally withholding opportunities from Shadour Sanders. I think we both think this is laughable. However, Cleveland's new quarterback, one Shedeur, talked about his relationship with Stefanski. Here we go.

A product of Green River Distilling Company, Owensboro, Kentucky. Please drink responsibly. Thanksgiving is upon us and the NFL is serving up a full plate of matchups beginning tomorrow right here on Fox. I already, I already. I have J. Max. Five picks. His last pick is.
- [34:53]
Jason McIntyre
Is.
- [34:53]
Colin Cowherd
I already know which way it's going because it's a really great pick. And, and I know exactly what you're going to say, why you like the team you like. But we'll, we'll let the audience wait for about five minutes. But I think your last pick is really a sharp pick. So we call this tomorrow's headlines today. Packers, Lions. I think we disagree here. What do you say?
- [35:15]
Jason McIntyre
Yeah, you know, listen, I love the Thanksgiving games. First of all. Casey Dallas is going to be great. We'll get there shortly. But this game I'm fascinated with. Colin. I really do believe one of these teams could be super bowl bound. The headline for Packers Lions will be. Let me see you, Cassie. Roll Motown gets green baked. Yes, sir. Give me the Green Bay packers here. Colin, how about this stat? This is the first time the packers have been underdogs all season. First time. I'm telling you, there's a big disconnect between what the public sees with Green Bay, what they've seen this season and what the market thinks. I'm just telling you, if you think the packers are the side this week, you probably want to bet them to win the super bowl because I'm telling you, this is a great matchup for the Packers. They run a lot of stunts. Right, Colin, where Micah Parsons starts on the edge and then comes in. Guess where Detroit's weakest interior offensive line, Goff got beat up last week by the Giants. And speaking of last week, I know you want to kind of poo poo it. Ah, that was a look ahead game. I get that. You know, that's fine. They were. The defense was on the field for 77 plays against Jameis Winston and company.
- [36:16]
Jay Shetty
Okay.
- [36:16]
Jason McIntyre
I think even though Love has a busted up shoulder and he had to hand off with his right hand regardless of which side. Not great. I think the packers have some success. Keep an eye on Christian Watson against the Detroit man defense. Watson's a burner indoors. There's a world where he erupts. I'm starting him in all my fantasy leagues. I like the packers here, Colin.
- [36:37]
Colin Cowherd
Tomorrow's headlines today, Chiefs at the Cowboys.
- [36:42]
Jason McIntyre
Yeah, I, I think, I think I'm 5 and O picking against the Chiefs this season. You know that was my off season take. I'm public enemy number one in kc the headline for Chiefs Cowboys will be simply C Delicious boys pickings their teeth and go dak for seconds. Yes, I'm going with Dallas here. It's weird. This is the same team, Colin, that lost to Arizona at home. Remember that? A couple weeks ago. Yeah. And then they lost to Carolina on the road and we know Carolina's not good but for whatever reason for the big boys, Dallas shows up. Both games against Philly were really close and tight and they pulled one out. I do believe this Dallas offense is going to give KC a world of problems. You know Spagnolo, what's his DNA? Blitz, blitz, blitz. You had the stat earlier, Dax, like one of the best quarterbacks in the league against a blitz this season. And I know McDuffie is thought of as a superstar. He's better on the inside, he's playing a lot of outside. He's having a good season but he's not like a lockdown corner that he was when they had snead on the outside. Now just to be clear, Kansas City, first indoor game this season. Yeah, Worthy and rice they could eat. But what I Kansas City weird. Like the last three weeks, Colin, they played run heavy teams. Denver, Buffalo and then last week I'm forgetting, oh, the Colts with Jonathan Taylor. Dallas is not run heavy. So I do believe there's going to be points here. I'm on the over and give me the three and a half the hook if you can get it. Dallas Cowboys. I like them to win outright, Colin.
- [38:07]
Colin Cowherd
All right, tomorrow's headlines today, big AFC south battle. Texans better at home. Usually at the Colts.
- [38:14]
Jason McIntyre
Yeah, you know, not a sexy game, but this is one of my bigger ones this month the headline for Colts Texans will be lost track of time. Texans salty after dashes of Danny. Yes, I do believe the Texans are overvalued here coming off that win against Buffalo. By the way, Buffalo's tackles were both beat up in that game. Neither of them is practicing right now. So that's part of why will Anderson and Hunter look so good in that game at the same time. I'm keeping a track on CJ Stroud, so he's at practice as of like six minutes ago. Still has not been cleared from concussion protocol. But he might be and that would be a big get back. But this is about the Colts, Colin. Remember last few games they played outdoors at Pittsburgh look kind of slow. They played outdoors last week against Casey. Looked kind of slow. The game in Berlin didn't have the same pop. They're coming back to the dome now. Colin, I think this is a Stichen special. Danny Dimes has a real big game. And keep an eye on Jonathan Taylor obviously on the ground. I like the cold cheer at home. Sauce Gardner also versus Nico Collins. I think that's a good matchup. I don't know if you saw this, the Patrick Mahomes passing chart last week. He did not throw to the left side of the field at all, like zero completions. Sauce Gardner was over there a lot. So I think Sauce really changes the calculus of this defense. I like the Colts.
- [39:31]
Colin Cowherd
Tomorrow's headlines today. I got a feeling I know where you're leaning here. Raiders at the Chargers Chargers off a buy.
- [39:39]
Jason McIntyre
So me and a buddy are still alive in Survivor and we, we like the Chargers this week. I know divisional matchups are scary but the headline for Chargers Raiders will be much ado about stuffing Chargers keep the genty in a bottle. That's assuming Genti even plays. Colin, he got busted up the ankle. I mean listen, the Raiders are in disarray. I don't know what to make of your boy Chip Kelly. He got fired. They fired his right hand man. I mean they got some, some guy who's been there forever calling plays. I don't really understand how they have a chance here against Harbaugh and company. Did you see what Harbaugh did, by the way, for the team? Gave them extra days off on the bye week. Just to kind of recalibrate, chill out, get your mind right after getting spanked by the Jags. I think the Chargers are okay here. By the way. They destroyed the Raiders in two matchups last season. I think a big coaching edge for Harbaugh. And they have Derwin James. Remember he's like the Travis Kelce stopper. I think he does a good enough job on Brock Bowers did a good job twice last season that I think the Chargers get it done. Really hoping that Omarion Hampton, the great rookie running back. I hope he returns. Still no clarity if he's going to.
- [40:44]
Colin Cowherd
Be back this week, this final one. I, I, I, I think I probably should have included this in the blazing five. Tomorrow's headlines. Today the weary Giants travel again, this time to the Patriots.
- [40:58]
Jason McIntyre
Yeah, Giants. I don't know what to make of this team. So they covered against Detroit. They nearly beat Green Bay outright. They got a push there. Jamis is showing up. Do you start him again or Jackson Dart the headline for Patriots Giants on Sunday will Be digs in a blanket. Pat's wrap things up before dinner. I'm rolling with Drake May a little reluctantly. Colin, I just saw the news. Will Campbell, the rookie left left tackle just placed on ir. So he's out this week, out for the next four. That's not great news given the Giants have an edge. Rusher's galore with Brian Burns and company. So I have some skepticism. But this is just basically hand the ball off to Stevenson and Henderson and let them cook, right. The Giants have the worst run defense in the league by a mile. Gibbs just went for 2, 215 or whatever on the ground. So I think this is pretty easy. But I do wonder con in the back of my head. Are the Patriots like getting a little fatigued? Is the pressure wearing on them? Because they have not looked amazing the last couple weeks. That game against Cincinnati was disappointing. All the, all the failures inside the five yard line. So I'm on the Patriots here. I like a flat seven better than a seven and a half. I don't know. Jameis Winston keeps shocking me, the way he's playing. I did not see this out of him. But I'm rolling with the Patriots here as big favorites.
- [42:15]
Colin Cowherd
You know, we talked about it this week is. I've never, never really thought about it this way, but something just came up to me watching Jameis Winston this week is that there's three kinds of quarterbacks. There's franchise guys and there's always been backups. And you can tell the backups they get drafted 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th round or it's a high round pick that you know pretty early is not going to work. Jameis is the classic to me bridge. You can start him for a year and win eight or nine games. I think, I think honestly right now in Carolina they're trying to figure out what Bryce Young is. Is he like the best bridge in the league? Cause he's all over the map. I mean, and he's got two good receivers, he's got a star back, the defense is better. He's all over the map. He's in the 80s on PAT. And he's got an offensive coach. Bryce Young should be better. It's also a weak wonky division. So it's like it's Bryce Young. Mac Jones, by the way, I think is a great bridge. I'm not building around him now. I think Sam Darnold is a franchise guy. I think a lot of people before Seattle were very, you know, they were very cynical, like, ah, it was Minnesota. Now you watch them and you're like, okay, he's a franchise guy. Winning record. Carolina, great year. Minnesota, great year in Seattle. Mac Jones, bridge guy. I think Bryce Young probably falls into that. But when you ask about Jameis Winston, he is the classic bridge. Like you're not going to build around him and hire coordinators for him. But dude, if I said against the Patriots he threw for four touchdowns, you would not be shocked. And he also threw three picks.
- [43:49]
Jason McIntyre
Let me ask you, you, Bryce Young as a. It's a bridge guy. Do you keep him one more year, you do not extend him. And you draft a guy like Carson Beck, which is his polar opposite. I know nobody likes Beck. Listen, man, he's going to be drafted, okay? He's 64 with a huge arm. He's the opposite of Young, who's small and was highly touted. So I think you're probably onto something there. All I know is if Jameis is a bridge, I don't want him bridging anybody with the New York Jets. Keep him with the Giants.
- [44:14]
Colin Cowherd
No, no, no. Maybe it's two weeks of fool's gold.
- [44:16]
Jason McIntyre
I don't want him with the Jets.
- [44:17]
Colin Cowherd
No, I mean, I think Justin Fields. We've gotten to a point. Yeah, he may just be a backup.
- [44:22]
Jason McIntyre
Yeah, he's definitely not even a bridge.
- [44:23]
Colin Cowherd
No. Yeah, no, he's moved out of the bridge. But there, I will say in this quarterback class, I think Mac Jones. I'll tell you another guy that's very interesting. Davis Mills. I gotta tell you, I. I'm watching.
- [44:37]
Jason McIntyre
Them go into week one, starting Davis Mills and your whole team is going to think like, what are we doing? We're not going anywhere with danger.
- [44:43]
Colin Cowherd
I thought he was pretty good against the bills. I mean, he didn't shrink.

Some moments in life stay with you forever. In a special segment of On Purpose brought to you by ebay, I share a story about a book that changed my life early in my journey and how I was able to find the same exact edition on ebay. It was more than just a purchase, it was a reconnection with a memory that shaped my purpose. There are certain books that don't just give you information, they shift the way you see the world. I remember reading one when I was younger that completely changed me. Years later, I found myself thinking about that book again. I wanted the same edition back. Not a reprint, that exact one. So I started searching. And that's when I found it on ebay. That's what I love about ebay, where you can rediscover the pieces of your past that still inspire your present. Shop ebay for millions of finds, each with a story. Ebay Things people love. Listen to on purpose on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts.
