00:00All right, Kang you ready for blitz thingy? Let's go. All right, and we're off
00:13Yesterday I made you go first every question
00:15Do you want to go back and forth or do you want me to go first every question?
00:18I think you should go first every question. Let's go. All right, here we go. First question guys
00:22Who is your first half MVP so far? So I really want to pick Jared Goff
00:27But in this new NFL I talked about it's the return of the run game Derek Henry's got over a thousand yards for the Ravens
00:32He's got 11 touchdowns and he's averaging a mere six point three yards per carry. I'm gonna go with Derek Henry
00:39I'm glad let's just say this. I'm glad he's doing all that damage in the AFC
00:44Yeah, it's nice to see him do that in the AFC. I'm gonna go with his teammate though. I I agree with Pete Priscu
00:49I think it's it's it's so easy to say Lamar Jackson. So I'm gonna say Lamar Jackson
00:53He's thrown 20 touchdown passes to only two interceptions, he's got a quarterback rating of a hundred and twenty
01:01He's also run for 500 yards, by the way in a couple of more scores
01:05he's having an outstanding season and
01:08Absolutely. One of the reasons why is because of his teammate Derek Henry, but it's the Lamar Jackson show right now
01:14Two very good choices and then they both have wonderful stats. The team's good
01:18But Doug I am going to make the case for quarterback Jared Goff
01:21There are seven and one best team in the NFC
01:24Maybe the best team in the NFL in his last six games six and Oh
01:2982.8 percent completion percentage 13 touchdowns one interception a quarterback passer rating of a hundred and forty point one
01:36The completion percentage and quarterback rating in the six-game stretch is the highest ever since the merger in the NFL
01:43better than Peyton Manning's MVP season in
01:462008 I
01:48Would give it to Lamar Jackson and Derek Henry might be fighting out the award for a most best offensive player of the year
01:53But as far as MVP if Jared Goff's name was Patrick Mahomes, I think he'd be on top of everyone's list
01:59I think it's a team game for the MVP and the Ravens are actually technically second in the division
02:04So I'm gonna make the case for Jared Goff
02:08Alright the Colts dropped to four and five after losing to the Vikings and they started Joe Flacco in this game
02:14Who wasn't particularly very good. Did the Colts make a mistake by benching Anthony Richardson?
02:19Well, yes and no and I will answer the question the tap-out thing with Anthony Richardson was weird
02:24And to me it could be a red flag something to pay attention to
02:28But this is the era of load management in the NBA, which probably would have been scoffed at 30 years ago
02:34So maybe this becomes a thing. I'm tired. Give me a playoff, but
02:38You can always just roll with your young quarterback and take your lumps and try and develop him
02:42And that might be the fastest way to develop a guy
02:45But I'm gonna say no it wasn't a mistake because this team is one game out of the playoffs
02:49so when you're in that position
02:50You have to do everything you can to make the postseason and start the guy that you think gives you the best chance to win
02:57Well, I agree. It was not a mistake. I think you know the fact that he was tired. You need the rest of that sentence
03:04When it relates to the decision of bench him they were tired of seeing him suck so bad
03:08He was like 10 of 32 in that game when he begged out of it now, it's a learning lesson for him
03:14He's clearly the future for this team
03:16It's not Joe Flacco, but they needed to make a to send him a message
03:19They need to send the team a message that you all have to be better
03:23Okay
03:23Even though he's the golden child with a bit with the the big arm and the high draft pick
03:27You have to produce and you've got to perform and he wasn't so I think it's it's a good move for the Colts
03:33They can go back to him anytime now because Flacco is clearly not the answer, but what Joe Flacco is
03:39Professional. All right, so no surprise here. I'm gonna make a case the other way that it was a mistake guys
03:44It depends on what you were trying to do when you drafted Anthony Richardson and started him right away, okay?
03:50Anthony Richardson had the fewest amounts of college starts ever for a first-round draft pick at quarterback
03:5813 starts is all he had so when you drafted him, he was 20 years old
04:02You knew you got something completely raw and it was gonna be erratic and well everyone knew he had accuracy issues
04:08So you're gonna start him and play him because clearly he needs starts and an experience because he got none in college
04:14Then that's the plan to divert from the plan all of a sudden because now you quote, you know
04:19You want to make the playoffs my question to the Colts is what were you doing?
04:23And if you want to draft him or not, that's a different debate, but you did draft him
04:27So what was your plan with him the whole time? He's still only 22 the youngest starting quarterback in the league
04:31I say you playing through the growing pains and you don't I know this is not gonna sound good
04:36You don't say this publicly, but you're not really trying to make the playoffs this year
04:39You're trying to get better in the long run and the long run is play Anthony Rich them get a more experience
04:45All right more impressive last week Garrett Wilson's one-handed jump man catch in the back of the end zone or Saquon Barkley's
04:52Reverse leap over a defender. Okay, so they're both sick and Wilson seemed to catch the very tip of the football
04:58But what Barkley did no one has ever done before and here's the one thing. I'm wondering
05:05When Odell Beckham jr. Made a catch one-handed
05:08Suddenly kids everywhere started trying making one-handed catches and guys in the league weren't afraid to go for the one-handed catch
05:16sometimes even unnecessarily
05:18Everybody wanted to do a one-hand catch
05:20So what I'm gonna do and I'm saying Barkley was more impressive is watch for people trying the reverse leap
05:26are we gonna see more people do that and I think it's gonna be hysterical because
05:31There's no way people are gonna be able to pull that off the one-handed catch you can that was such an amazing
05:38Choreographed movie type move it would make you roll your eyes in a theater go
05:42All right, but it was amazing. And I think that was I had people might try to do it, but it'll never be done again
05:50Yeah, it's totally worth it for three yards
05:53Karen Wilson's one-hand grab is for the touchdown is clearly the better play
05:58It's not even close the body control. He had in making that catch the shin coming down. Everything was was unbelievable
06:05I'm not entirely sure that he controlled it when he hit the ground, but they reviewed that apparently and said it was fine the
06:12Saquon Barkley
06:13Back, you know
06:15Humpty-hump leapfrog thing
06:18Though it looked cool is incredibly dumb with a DUM
06:22It's don't do don't ever turn your back to the defense like that
06:26You're gonna get lit up and I think it was a one-off. I hope it's a one-off because it's stupid
06:33But
06:36Definitely I sense it Doug
06:38Great point though Gator with the fact that you know Garrett Wilson's play
06:42Resulted in a touchdown and my Barclays play resulted in an extra like three yards of soul
06:46But with that being said I cannot help but be more impressed with hidden dragon, you know, Saquon Barkley, you know crouching Barkley
06:52Whatever though Doug I agree with you. Maybe it's because I've never seen it before but he I
06:58Can't take out the fact that he did two spin moves before that too. So that's the whole sequence of that run
07:02I'm taking into account here
07:04I'm more impressed by Saquon Barkley's a reverse leap for as Gator put it a measly three yards, but it's still impressive to me
07:12All right last week three games went in overtime
07:15The three teams that scored a touchdown on their final possession
07:18Elected to kick an extra point instead of go for two essentially send it into overtime because in those three games there was 51 seconds or
07:25Less remaining in all three games, but the one of the games had zero seconds left all three teams though loss guys
07:32Is it a mistake not to go for two with less than a minute remaining in these situations?
07:36So I think it depends on the game and I'm glad you brought this up because I want to pay homage to Drake May and
07:42That 18 second play at the end of regulation to get that that touchdown to force the overtime for the Patriots
07:48But I'll give an example of where I think it makes sense and it's not every game
07:52But when you are Tampa and you are on the road and they've got Patrick Mahomes and you score late
07:57I think you roll the dice that we're gonna try and score on that one play
08:00I think you're a favorite or you have a Patrick Mahomes
08:04I think you try and go get the win in overtime and I think if you're not playing for anything
08:10It's okay to try and go get the win in overtime
08:12But I think when you're trying to steal a win like Tampa was I think Tampa is a case where it makes sense to go
08:19For two look I hate to sit on the fence like this
08:21But I think it really does depend on how much you trust your defense if you've got a great defense and you feel like you
08:26Can stop anybody then go ahead tie it up get the ball back
08:29If you don't win the coin toss and and win it that way. However, I think your point about Patrick
08:34Mahomes is is very salient. I'm not there are certain players. I'm not gonna give the ball to
08:40Alright, I'm not gonna let's let's give them a chance
08:42I think it also depends what your team record is what the stakes are in the game halfway through the season
08:47I think you can make a stronger case that just take a chance. Why not?
08:52It's it's more entertaining, but it really does depend on your defense
08:55So nine and a half times out of ten, I'm gonna go for it
08:58I don't care the context of the situation and how good your defense is or whatever. I'm just being all I don't even call it
09:04Ultra-aggressive. I think it's actually the smart play to go for two when you're going for two
09:09You're starting from the two-yard line. You are in the position of power
09:12You have two yards to get you dictate the play, you know where the plays going
09:15You've got to trust in your team to get two yards one time to me
09:18It's way it's like I said, it's way more of a position of power
09:22You're more advantageous than depending on a coin flip
09:25I go for two and I think honestly as we get move forward and forward and forward years down the line
09:29There's gonna be more common more common that hey, you just go for two and you try to end this thing now
09:33All right, who wins the NFC West go
09:38Seattle I don't trust the defense Arizona's 2-0 in the division including a win at San Francisco
09:43And I kind of like the Kyle Murray Redemption story San Francisco's just weird this year. They're just weird
09:49I'm going with the Rams. I think Stafford and a Rams team that's getting healthier will win this division
09:54Yeah, I don't trust Stafford in the the elderly out there
09:58I just don't see that that's gonna be a big part of the game
10:01The elderly out there I just don't see that that's gonna be sustainable for the season
10:06Seattle is a bit of an enigma
10:07You can't really explain why they're not as good as they should be with all the weapons that they have
10:11So I don't really think that's there. I'm not banking on Kyla Murray just yet. I
10:17Just I can't see it. So default is San Francisco. They're getting Christian McCaffrey back
10:23They we've seen them play at an extraordinarily high level. They get some other players back
10:27They're gonna be the team to beat and they could be a troublesome team if you get to the playoffs
10:31So the entire division separated by one game and I can't believe you right now
10:36The Cardinals are on top of the division
10:38Like I said a couple weeks back or this past week that
10:41Kyla Murray
10:41I thought they would have a top five pick and what Kyle Murray's doing over there with that team and in Buddha Baker on
10:46The other side that you have in the first place remarkable, but like but they are all just separated by one game
10:52So I consider this almost like a restart of the year and I'm gonna restart the year and pick it all over again
10:56I'm going with the Niners. They should be getting CMC back, which originally people thought he was going to start the year
11:01So they just have too much talent. They have the experience
11:04I think everyone kind of falls off a little bit and the Niners take over eventually and win the division
11:13All right, the Giants are playing the Panthers in Germany this week guys
11:17Where does Germany rank in your personal rankings of countries in Europe you'd like to visit?
11:22Fantastic question. I love this question. So my European goals are skiing in the Swiss Alps. I
11:30Want to go to a Ryder Cup in England and I want to go to some exotic locale like a Greek island
11:37other than that
11:38Then it would be Germany for like Oktoberfest
11:42I've been to Germany. It was fantastic. I've been to to Munich Frankfurt Mannheim Heidelberg
11:48It was a great time out there and I would love to go back. However, there are other places
11:53I want to see that I haven't been to
11:56That I would definitely want to see ahead of time. I'm with the Scandinavian heritage
12:00I want to get out to Sweden and check that out to the fjords of Norway check out Denmark
12:05I want to see all that would be really intriguing to me. I'd like to go to London
12:09I have nothing against London except that they were playing football games there
12:13Spain I think would be pretty cool
12:16So Germany's down the list only because I've already done it I've also already done Switzerland
12:22Switzerland's ahead of Germany Switzerland is so great. Yeah, but I want to see Italy in Greece, too
12:26Okay. Yeah, where does it rank for me?
12:28Not high UK Ireland Norway all the Sweden Greece Spain Italy France all those countries you guys mentioned as well
12:34Just above Germany for me Germany nothing against Germany
12:37but I think there's just so many other European countries that prefer to go see instead but
12:42Maybe if it was for an NFL game with like Giants Panthers, but other than that
12:47Yeah, not even Oktoberfest really doesn't move the needle that much for me
12:51And there it is that concludes the wide nine Omaha four down around the league blitz thingy
