Intro 00:00:14 I've been on the way. The team on my bad. Like a biker. Shawty wanna be with a star. But you lucky if I invite you. We can take it to the next spot. They yellin like Prescott. Everybody like there ain't no brakes, no rest stop.
Intro 00:00:25 We tryna get your head chopped. The whole club yellin. Everybody. Everybody, everybody. Everybody. Everybody. Everybody. Everybody. Everybody.
Prescott 00:00:37 Here we go. Here we go.
Prescott 00:00:39 Victory Formation podcast. it's defeat Tuesday, Eddie. Tell the people how you feel. Sound like Eeyore when you do it. Sound like Eeyore.
Eddie 00:00:52 On the on the week three. That's all it is on Baltimore. He just buried the tape. We can. I mean, we can talk about this out.
Eddie 00:01:02 We can talk about this for hours. And, I mean, I will say out on Monday.
Prescott 00:01:06 I'm out right now. It's Taco Tuesday, so I'm out right now.
Eddie 00:01:10 Yeah, I was upset. Game day, the next game. The next day I was too busy fighting with fucking crybabies about that. Were fighting over it was.
Prescott 00:01:21 That's that's why I'm kind of glad we recorded on Tuesdays. So for people don't know man. We try to record on Tuesday so we can give ourselves time to reflect and accurately. Because if you get on, I know a lot of people try to jump on as soon as the game is over and record their thoughts. It's it's all emotion. If you're if you're a real fan, it's all emotion. The first three, four hours after the game. Well, they.
Eddie 00:01:42 Talk about that. I mean, Joe Rogan talked about it. He's like, I don't even I don't like interviewing the fighters right after the fight because they're they're adrenaline is up here or down here.
Eddie 00:01:53 You know, you're punch drunk. You don't know what you're really saying. And there's just your emotions coming out and you just say some wild, crazy stuff and.
Prescott 00:02:01 Yeah. And so and so we intentionally wait till Tuesday to record this so we can get, you know, context because like, we like to think we know what happened during the game. Like how in the world that they missed that play. And then, you know on Tuesday comes out Michael passes my saying is podcast like oh yeah he called a right play. He was just in the wrong spot. So we could have been killing somebody for two days when it's all wrong. So a lot of times this helps save us having to print retractions or, you know, apologize for being wrong. So and then we calm down. So like, right now I'm a lot calmer than I was on, Monday when I burned on my cowboy stuff and I got to buy new stuff. So it's sad is I'm lying. I don't have any cowboy stuff.
Prescott 00:02:41 This only shirt I had, this was the only one. Y'all see me having him.
Eddie 00:02:44 He was out there slapping people, though. Oh, bro.
Prescott 00:02:47 Man, I punch at least four babies on Sunday.
Eddie 00:02:51 That's not true. I mean, yeah, we gotta talk about. I mean, just you. You mentally has have to get over the hump and that's all it is. I mean, just like we were talking about earlier, it was really bad. And until the until the 49 ers lost on accident and then. Oh yeah. And then we're like you know maybe, maybe if the Eagles have a hard time and then the Eagles loss and then we just sit there afterwards. After that game last night. And they were like okay this isn't that bad. We're fine. It was a mulligan. They gave us a moment.
Prescott 00:03:23 So why is it that every year we lose the one team we have? No, no, I'm not saying the Saints are terrible. They might be this good, but this was a team that we felt were better.
Prescott 00:03:36 They had some injuries that we felt and almost everyone thought that we were better. But we lost that game, not lose. We lost in and in its tactical version, it's.
Eddie 00:03:46 Usually like the Giants that we lose too. I mean, it literally is because we play them early and it's like we underestimate these teams, but I think that we're going to look back at this year, and we're going to say that was not the Cardinals that we played last year. I know that a lot of people are saying, wow, this is yeah, mimicking the Cardinals game last year, Cardinals sucked. Last year the.
Prescott 00:04:07 Cardinals actually.
Eddie 00:04:08 Literally the.
Prescott 00:04:08 Saints might be good.
Eddie 00:04:09 The Saints. But you can't say the Saints might be because they've scored over 45 points in two weeks in a row. No NFL 91.
Prescott 00:04:16 Points. That's insane.
Eddie 00:04:18 NFL teams don't do that. So there's I don't care how. Yeah, they're a good team. They're especially if you're terrible.
Prescott 00:04:24 If you're terrible, it's no way you're going to score 40 something points to two weeks in a row.
Prescott 00:04:29 Even if you play the two worst teams in the league, you're not going to score 47 points to lose.
Eddie 00:04:33 You can play. You can play the the who, who would we say the Bucs? Who would be Panthers.
Prescott 00:04:39 Are probably the.
Eddie 00:04:40 Worst. Yeah, I guess you would try to say the Panthers. You can play the Panthers two weeks in a row and you're not going to go score 45 points. You're not gonna.
Prescott 00:04:47 Score 91 points. Yeah, because they're gonna figure something out. But so they're they're pretty good. So you got any member got any news any injury updates? I think Ferg missing was the the part that killed us. That's why we lost. If we had Ferg, we would have one.
Eddie 00:05:00 I'm looking to see if we're going to put them on air or not. I just don't I don't know what he's saying. He's paying free, but yeah.
Prescott 00:05:08 He's not paying free. It was all stability is what he said. They were worried about stability and they're.
Eddie 00:05:13 Looking for the future.
Prescott 00:05:14 Right? I held him out.
Eddie 00:05:15 There looking at it.
Prescott 00:05:16 So they they held them out. It's a long season. It's the second game.
Eddie 00:05:19 And that's what we can't.
Prescott 00:05:20 Deal with that in for one two games. Then he's too important.
Eddie 00:05:23 If he's going to miss next game they'll put him on the air. They're not going to go multiple weeks without having that roster spot, I promise you that. And so I mean look at look at look at the league right now. Look at the league. It's been.
Prescott 00:05:35 Ridiculous man. For fantasy purposes. These injuries have been killing everyone. Everyone I had six people out on one team that were out on air. And some of them were doing, you know, got hurt during the game, left during the game. I was like, man.
Eddie 00:05:52 I look at that? You know, I look at all those, like that one meme that we saw today where that guy who had like, all those, like, all those players around. Oh, man, that's that's like my week seven every, every year.
Eddie 00:06:03 Because the way that I draft, I don't know why, but I always have like seven people that I need to find a replacement for in week seven. And, you know, even I don't want to drop them and I can't.
Prescott 00:06:15 What do I do?
Eddie 00:06:17 I'm like, so I gotta grab random people. Last year I made it work. It was pretty cool. This year will be fun.
Prescott 00:06:23 All right. Normally we do a stock up stock down player but everyone's stock was was down. Anybody stock up I think Aubrey was the only one. We just need to fire everybody and build around Aubrey.
Eddie 00:06:36 I think Aubrey had a good game I think, I mean, to be honest, what's the name? Bebe had a had a pretty good game. I mean, yeah, he did. When you're looking at if you're a stats nerd, there were players that actually had a good game. Yeah. But it's a team game and everybody's pulling the string. And I mean, it's the weakest chain link, right?
Prescott 00:07:01 As long as you don't say anybody's name on defense, then we're all right.
Prescott 00:07:04 There's no one on defense. Had a good game.
Eddie 00:07:07 You know who had a bad game? Jordan fucking Lewis. Oh, I'm gonna call him out right now. He's been waiting.
Prescott 00:07:13 He's been waiting for this for like, 18 weeks. Jordan. I mean, you've been playing pretty good since last year. He's been waiting for this week. You'd have a bad game. Let it all out.
Eddie 00:07:22 The thing about it is when when you if you're giving them credit for fucking doing what he needs to be, what he should be doing, that's ridiculous. If you're paying somebody that much money, they need to be making plays and they're not making. He's not making plays at all. He's just getting in the way.
Prescott 00:07:39 Hey, that's why I said drag him dragging, man. If he if he deserves it. So you know who who did really bad. Our Defensive tackles. Let me see if I can find these stats I had.
Eddie 00:07:54 Oh, you're talking about.
Prescott 00:07:55 A folder for this.
Eddie 00:07:57 Everybody was under three, 30%, but I don't know.
Eddie 00:08:01 Yeah, I'm getting tired of coming up with these fake numbers. I don't know how they're coming up at these numbers. They're like, hey, it's 44%. 44%. What? What?
Prescott 00:08:10 They they helped make my point. So I believe in them today. Yeah.
Eddie 00:08:15 All three of all four of our Jordan Phillips.
Prescott 00:08:18 Yeah. Jordan Phillips was a 25. Linval Joseph was a 28. Motsi was a 30 and also was a 36.
Eddie 00:08:26 Everybody know my.
Prescott 00:08:27 Boy Jordan Lewis was 41.
Eddie 00:08:29 Monte was the highest he was above.
Prescott 00:08:31 Now also was the highest. He was at 36.9. Monty was a 30.1 Linval 28.7. Jordan Phillips 25.8. That's how terrible, terrible they were. They couldn't man them. I watched a few videos where they were breaking it down, and a lot of them were just showing what happened like one second after the snap. We were just getting blown off the ball like, it was it was Amara watch. They weren't getting touched until they were already one, 1 or 2 yards past the line of scrimmage.
Prescott 00:09:05 And our guys are nowhere in sight. it was one. It was one play. Linval Joseph was on the five yard line. He got blocked one on one into the end zone from the five yard line and they scored. It was so bad.
Eddie 00:09:17 That was that was the the one that what's his name. showed where they had them line up and it showed Alvin Kamara score off the left hand side. And that was no no no this.
Prescott 00:09:31 One was going to the right. It was a different one. I know the one that you're talking.
Eddie 00:09:37 About was the one that got blocked. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to.
Prescott 00:09:39 Say Linval Joseph. I meant to say Jordan Phillips. He was the one where in this one it was at the five yard line, and he got blocked into the end zone. He's a £350 man and it was one on one. It was a double team I can understand that. It was one on one. He got blocked into the end zone and he just scored easily.
Prescott 00:09:58 And it was it was so bad. They scored six straight touchdowns. And you know what's crazy. There were literal human beings out there that said it was Dak's fault and not not, you know, jokingly trying to make the joke go how we always blame Dak. They were really saying that it was Dak's fault. Sure. And I was looking at them like.
Eddie 00:10:21 You even give those people attention is fucking ridiculous.
Prescott 00:10:25 I didn't and I'm like, I didn't even answer him. I didn't even call him right.
Eddie 00:10:28 Now on this thing.
Prescott 00:10:29 The regular names, those people. Idiot. They are. Oh man, it's crazy. But you know who really does suck on the offense? Like at least the offense was average to a little bit above average. I mean, they scored 19. They drove down the field. They just kept getting bogged down in the red zone and they got field goals. So they were average. Because if you look at it, it was one game the Giants, they scored three touchdowns, the other team scored zero touchdowns and they still lost the game.
Prescott 00:11:00 It's the first time in NFL history.
Eddie 00:11:02 But that's what they were. They kept saying in the broadcast was, Greg Olsen was saying or sorry Greg Olsen, Tom Brady.
Prescott 00:11:11 Kevin Brady sounds just like him.
Eddie 00:11:12 Tom Brady kept saying it's not like the Cowboys are doing. You know, their offense is doing bad is they just not scoring. They're not finishing it like drives. They're getting down there. And Aubrey's getting a chance to score. It's not like we were turning the ball over a bunch of the time. And and they just had the ball the whole time. It was just they were.
Prescott 00:11:32 Did anybody score a touchdown who scored a touchdown for us?
Eddie 00:11:34 Scored twice. They actually won. And and Zeke scored didn't he. Well maybe thinking about week one.
Prescott 00:11:42 Yeah Zeke scored in week one I'm trying to think who how. Well how do you score points? I'm about to look it up and see you, man. Yeah. Let's see, week two Saints. Let's see. So we had Aubrey.
Prescott 00:11:57 Field goal Aubrey field goal. Oh yeah Lam had that big that long touchdown touchdown.
Eddie 00:12:02 Yeah.
Prescott 00:12:04 And then we had four for Aubrey field goals and the lamb touchdown. But they had touchdown touchdown yeah they scored the first touchdown touchdown touchdown touchdown then field goal.
Eddie 00:12:18 What killed us was okay I mean the first one was tough. And then our safeties got beat I mean it's we'll talk about them in a second if we want to talk about stock down. But we'll talk about them when the hammer and nail because yeah. Whatever. Let's talk about this. Yeah.
Prescott 00:12:33 You know what. Yeah. Let's talk about that.
Eddie 00:12:36 Our offense right now, this thing right here that we can that we continue to keep trying is Jalen Brooks on in our lineup. I don't know why I have no idea why. And I know no scene. Nice. Yeah. It's just. It's when. When he's out there kind of learning on the fly. It's driving me insane. He's been on our team for three years now. Tolbert was was.
Eddie 00:13:03 It was in the same class, right?
Prescott 00:13:06 Yeah. Catch. I say about 85 yards.
Eddie 00:13:08 Tolbert is like head and shoulders above what Jalen Brooks is doing. And we have to have Brooks out there. He's out there running routes falling down letting Dak get interceptions. He's missing blocks. Zeke could have scored easily. And Jalen Brooks missed that block. no no.
Prescott 00:13:27 No no that wasn't Zeke. That was on an end around I know exactly talking about it was the lamb. It was on the end around. Yeah.
Eddie 00:13:34 Was was.
Prescott 00:13:34 It. Oh beginning of the year.
Eddie 00:13:36 No it's the beginning of the game. It was the beginning of the game. Yeah.
Prescott 00:13:38 At the beginning of the game it was a it was an end around wide receiver. Is he the Zika lamb I mean lamb or a cook's.
Eddie 00:13:44 Might have a cook's.
Prescott 00:13:45 He should. He should have easily got around there. Just missed the whole block.
Eddie 00:13:50 And he just he's out there because we need a player in his position. So we just need to bring him up.
Eddie 00:13:59 We just need to. The coaches are the coaches are fucking up. Yeah, I'll tell you that right now. I mean, if you look at the snap counts and what happened last week and everybody saying Sean is a fucking All-Pro and he's amazing in 19 snaps in this game.
Prescott 00:14:19 The moment he did that pissed Zimmer off. But I don't know. It was like.
Eddie 00:14:22 Clark. Clark was.
Prescott 00:14:23 Playing terrible. Clark was playing terrible. He still stayed out there. Insane snaps I don't know. I don't understand that.
Eddie 00:14:31 I think they just need to make an adjustment to make that change. And I think, Zimmer is I think he'll make that change to be all right if it keeps happening this week and we're coming up to that running game, it's a totally different running scheme. They're not going to be so much motion. And it's they're they're a a an option running team. So we're just going to stay in our lanes. That's all it is. Stay in your lanes. Stay in your gap.
Eddie 00:14:58 All right.
Prescott 00:14:59 Well let's do our segment. We're going to see who's the hammer and who's the nail I.
Hammer Drop 00:15:04 Stand tough and carry a big big hammer.
Prescott 00:15:09 Who is your hammer this game. Who's standing tough.
Eddie 00:15:12 I don't have any hammer.
Prescott 00:15:13 I didn't either.
Eddie 00:15:14 I mean.
Prescott 00:15:14 The only hammer I had was Aubry. That's it. I'm telling you, just fire everybody and build a team around Aubry. He's our only weapon right now. And I mean, lamb had the big play. That was all lamb. It was just a regular pitching catch, but he made it happen so I can give him. Those are the only two weapons we have. Lamb and Aubry. That's it. Yeah. We have serviceable players who can make plays. But if you like I'm thinking about Zeke his rookie year or Dez when you're like, you know what, we need some instant injection of fuel into our veins. What Dez used to give us lamb is the only person who can do that for us right now. We don't have anybody else.
Prescott 00:15:55 Maybe Turpin on a on a on a return. But we don't have any playmakers and we need some.
Eddie 00:16:02 Yeah. Most of our playmakers.
Prescott 00:16:03 Don't have them all on defense. Yeah. We seem to have them all on defense. But they none of them showed up. It's like they might not even be. They might as well not even showed up.
Eddie 00:16:12 All right. So what's the opposite of this. What are we.
Nailed It Drop 00:16:15 Nailed it I nailed it. No.
Prescott 00:16:18 Did I want to say the entire defense? Oh.
Eddie 00:16:23 I'm going to say the entire defense because I'm going to say the safeties sucked ass to save this. Look like old ladies out there. And our D-line was I don't know what it was. It's not I don't want to say that they're all. They all just seem like they were in the right spot, but they were playing timid. I don't know what it is they were.
Prescott 00:16:45 And that's why earlier in the show I said, that's why we give us a chance to calm down, because after the game I was like, why did we bring Zimmer? He just got out skiing out, coached out everything.
Prescott 00:16:58 Until until you rewatch the game and then you see like for instance, the first touchdown to Shaheed, the 70 whatever yard touchdown.
Eddie 00:17:07 That was the second one.
Prescott 00:17:08 He actually had a great defense call. He had hooker there and Donald there for some reason. Who knows. They both just stood there and watched him run by him. And then they was like, oh shoot, he's the fastest guy on the team. I don't know what going deep. We should go catch that guy.
Eddie 00:17:24 I don't know why. Donovan Wilson plays 60 snaps a game and we got Bell on the sideline. We got Wagner on a fucking boys. Two men Thomas fucking returning kicks and not playing. We need him.
Prescott 00:17:38 To return kicks.
Eddie 00:17:39 No, we don't need him to return kicks. He does the fucking. He gets to the 22 every time. I don't get it. You know it's.
Prescott 00:17:45 Probably.
Eddie 00:17:46 Kick, kick.
Prescott 00:17:47 Return and I don't know what's going on anyway. But yeah.
Eddie 00:17:49 But it's because the kicker looks up and it says he says okay, I could kick it here or I kick it to this rando.
Eddie 00:17:56 Who do I kick it to? So that's why. That's why.
Prescott 00:18:02 But he can carry a melody, though. He can carry a melody.
Eddie 00:18:04 But so it's like, so those are my nails. Those are my nails. The. Yeah, the the safety.
Prescott 00:18:10 I'm still putting on the whole defense.
Eddie 00:18:11 Bones.
Prescott 00:18:12 I didn't see I didn't see a single person who was like, you know what we get now but kicks, we need to step up. None of them said it. They had an excellent like once they took Parsons out of it because they because he even said it. They did things nobody had ever done him before. They dedicated a lot of resources to him. And I think maybe you guys are so spoiled. They were so spoiled with him taking over that nobody decided, well, they're triple teaming him. Maybe I can beat this guy one on one. And nobody did.
Eddie 00:18:46 Nobody did. I saw I saw him get confused like 3 or 4 times because he wasn't getting double team like.
Eddie 00:18:54 Yeah, they were the Lettermen. They let him in one time to allow Kamara to block him. And he ran up to Kamara and stopped. I was like, what the fuck's going on here. He ran up to like you know what. This is a trick A field right. It's a trick.
Prescott 00:19:08 What's going on. Yeah this is a trick I didn't.
Eddie 00:19:11 I didn't I didn't just get held two times. Why am I why is it so easy that it just doesn't it didn't. Something wasn't right. So, you know, it was the, what is, Nova like to say in there? It was a script. The script just had us. Yeah, yeah.
Prescott 00:19:25 The scriptwriters. Scriptwriters thoroughly confused us. They didn't know what? They didn't remember their lines or anything. But the one thing, the one thing I was, I thoroughly 30 when I call somebody now is any Philip for some reason on Twitter. I have a bunch of Philadelphia content creators. They show up on my page.
Prescott 00:19:45 I don't know why I don't follow any of them. I don't read their stuff or listen to them, but they show up on my page. And so of course, after our game, they were talking so much noise. So much noise. Like just so much. No. And it's crazy. They had a game on Monday, but the first thing they post when they wake up on Monday is just cowboy stuff. Just cowboy stuff. I just want to yell at them like so.
Eddie 00:20:13 So I.
Prescott 00:20:15 And it's like.
Eddie 00:20:16 We had.
Prescott 00:20:16 Why.
Eddie 00:20:17 We had trolls like, there was Washington fans in there talking, talking about. And I was like, I know you guys aren't talking.
Prescott 00:20:27 They barely beat the worst team, the second worst team in the league, barely beat them to it, and they needed every second of that game. And then the Eagles just oh my God they they beat themselves. So I'm like just worry about yourself. Like when I wake up I don't think about the Eagles at all.
Prescott 00:20:44 I think about them till I see something.
Eddie 00:20:46 I think that this year is going to be really different than what what we normally I mean, look at all the, the really big injuries that are happening. Look at how, oh.
Prescott 00:20:56 Man, this target.
Eddie 00:20:57 Is for I mean, we've, we've watched Kansas City in the, in the primetime in the last two weeks. Right. And they yeah, they don't look particularly strong. I mean, they make big plays, but I mean, we look at Patty has two interceptions in the first half. And then you're like, if Dak had two interceptions in the first half it would be it would be over. People would be I mean there'd be.
Prescott 00:21:25 Man.
Eddie 00:21:26 Steven.
Prescott 00:21:26 Naismith man Steven Naismith would ejaculate on live TV if he had two and two two interceptions like that. But it's like. But no team looks dominant except the Saints, and it's tough to read them right now. I need to see it. You know, for a little bit more, considering how not good they were last year.
Prescott 00:21:44 So it's like one of those things where they could be good. We'll see.
Eddie 00:21:47 But it's it's like the Cardinals. It's like Cardinals last week. They look like the they look like the Arizona Cardinals of you know oh they're not going to be very good. And then all of a sudden this next week then.
Prescott 00:22:01 Sunday they just exploded.
Eddie 00:22:03 And they play the Rams. The Rams are supposed to be pretty.
Prescott 00:22:06 Marvin Harrison plays on our team. And he's our first round draft pick. Let's throw him the ball.
Eddie 00:22:10 The thing that was weird about him his first week PFF gave him that grade I mean those grades because he had the worst rookie wide receiver speed average of week in a week that anybody's ever had. That's like 16 miles an hour. It was so that he just ridiculously slow. And then the next week he's like, oh yeah, I forgot I could run.
Prescott 00:22:37 Yeah. It's like, oh shoot, oh man, let me play. Like let me play like Randy Moss.
Eddie 00:22:42 Yeah. But he was like like the first week he was just playing possum.
Eddie 00:22:46 Like he's like, I can't run. I got a, I got an owie. And then the like he was.
Prescott 00:22:50 Saving points like, like last week, some mobster had his daughter tied up in the basement, like, you better suck.
Eddie 00:22:56 His dad was his dad was like, hey, first week, you guys gotta just eat it on the first week I got.
Prescott 00:23:02 It's crazy, man. Well, so, so, you got any any good quotes from this week? for you guys? Don't know, we try to pick a good or bad quote we, find during the week and try to bring it up. You got anything good? I like your quote.
Eddie 00:23:19 A lot, but excuse me. The only quote that I could find that was relevant for this week because I was so, you know, I was sad and I was like, oh, this fucking week. The only quote that I could see was Zimmer's quote when he stepped up to the mic at first and all he said was tough.
Eddie 00:23:36 People fight through it, and he didn't. Nobody even asked him a question. He just said that, which basically just set the tone for that interview and said, I'm not going to bring I'm not going to answer any bullshit. That weeks over, we buried the tape. We're moving on to week three. Let's just move on next.
Prescott 00:23:52 And that's how it's it's got to be. So I played basketball on Sundays and we played this team from Puerto Rico and they were called Tainos. Tainos. Wait wait wait Puerto Rican timeout.
Eddie 00:24:11 What what league are you playing in that you guys are bringing teams up from Puerto Rico to play on Sunday. What the fuck? They.
Prescott 00:24:18 They spoke Spanish the whole game, but,
Eddie 00:24:23 What were they? What was your nickname?
Prescott 00:24:26 So. No. No, I didn't have a nickname. So they were calling. It's like a set of people. A member of the Arawak people formerly and having it the Greater Antilles in the Bahamas. But they were from Puerto Rico. It's a Puerto Rican thing.
Prescott 00:24:40 Okay. And and anyway, the whole thing, the the whole reason I'm bringing this up is, I'm not gonna lie, they were not as good as our team. Like, I'm not saying what a 2017 Warriors, but we were pretty good. Our team is pretty good. And they didn't have that many skill players, but they played so hard from the beginning to the end. They played so hard. They were so aggressive. They played so hard. And I mean, they got to the point where I was admiring. I'm like, man, they didn't give. They didn't take a single play off. They didn't jog up and down. They ran hard. And I'm like, I wish I had that in me. Like I have it in me. Just not from the beginning to the end. And we beat them. But we earned that victory. We should have blew them up by 20 points. We barely won by five points because they were out hustling us. And we have some prima donnas on our team that are really good, but you can tell they think we can beat this team, so they're just coasting.
Prescott 00:25:39 Yeah, and this was Sunday after the game. Our game was at 6:00. This game was over. The Cowboys game was over at three. So it's like it's like God sent me that game to show just how weak our defense was playing because I'm like, man, it's like they're really playing like the Saints and we're playing now. We ended up winning because, you know, we're a tougher team than the Cowboys, our basketball team. We're all good and whatnot. But I was I'm like, this is what we need somebody to punch us in the mouth to show us and wake us up. Just the cowboys never woke up. We woke up, though. And when you said that Zimmer quote that reminded me of that.
Eddie 00:26:14 Well, it's a it's a relative. I mean, that's relevant, right? I mean, they came and they don't know anything different than working hard. And that's you know what I mean? That that team.
Prescott 00:26:26 Yeah man shout out to them. They probably had some people.
Eddie 00:26:30 They probably had a fucking good time to get in there. But you know what I mean? Like afterwards they were like, fucking. That was fun. Let's do it again.
Prescott 00:26:38 And my quote is from Bo Nix where they call him Bo Picks.
Eddie 00:26:46 Oh be careful.
Prescott 00:26:47 So careful. And this is what I hate about the media. If I was an athlete, I would hate the media too, because I like people who try to who ask questions because they really want to try and help get their readers or their listeners to understand football. But then you can always tell the the people who try to get under your skin so they can get a reaction out of you so they can be like, yeah, I made him lose his cool and give me this, this quote. So the so the guy asked him, it's like, Bo, can you take us to the interception in the endzone? And so bonus like yeah, I dropped back and threw it to the other team. And in the most matter of fact factly as possible.
Prescott 00:27:27 And it wasn't a great quote. It's just the way he said it, like, please don't be an idiot. If you're going to be an idiot, I'll treat you like an idiot and you get an idiot answer like, what do you think? You think I was trying to throw it to him? I was trying to make a play and he caught the ball and took it the other way. That's his job. That's what he's paid to do. It's so dumb, you know? Now, now, now, if it was a bad play, like he was the only person over there, no receiver in the area, and he threw it right to the guy, then he can be like, what were you thinking? That doesn't make any sense. But he's obviously throwing it to the receiver and the guy intercepted it.
Eddie 00:27:59 I think that you tried.
Prescott 00:28:00 To do it on purpose.
Eddie 00:28:01 There's that's a good quote because it, it it puts you in that mindset of the quarterback too, or the, you know, the you're always getting stupid questions like, oh come on, that's just a stupid question.
Eddie 00:28:12 You're just trying to poke me in the chest. Or if if he wasn't upset, maybe if they would have won that game and that and that guys said the same question. He could be like, you know, and just like played out the play. You know, I had my eyes on this guy. I was trying to look somebody off, and this guy just made a good play. You know? You know what I mean? Maybe that's what that reporter was trying to get out of him. Like, tell me what your mindset, what was going on in that play or what was called. Maybe the receiver ran the wrong route. Maybe that defensive player made a fucking great play. But you're asking him about that. You're asking him at the wrong time. You're asking him right? When he got knocked out, he got. And he knows.
Prescott 00:28:53 That he's upset about the loss. Like, hey Dak, walk me through that interception. What were you thinking like well I was thinking I was passing to Brooks and he fell down and the guy intercepted it.
Eddie 00:29:02 It's like it's like telling your wife, you know she's upset and you accidentally say relax. And you try to grab it while it's coming out.
Prescott 00:29:12 Calm down. Yeah.
Eddie 00:29:13 Like you're like, just relax. You know it's not going to help. And this that receiver I mean that that guy was doing that. He knew he was going to get something out for you guys.
Prescott 00:29:21 Who weren't married. if your wife's ever upset, there are two things you can do that will. Oh, it's always worked for me. One, you can tell her to calm down and she'll come right down. Or you can ask her like, are you mad? And then she says, yes, you can get a cape and put it over her shoulders and then say, you know what? Now you're super mad. And then it works. It always works. She just calms right down after that either if you ever get married, try you either.
Eddie 00:29:47 Yeah. You either say relax because that usually always helps. Or you can say, you know what? I'm gonna.
Eddie 00:29:53 I'm gonna get out of here. I'm gonna go hang out with my buddies. It seems like you need some time. Hey.
Prescott 00:29:58 Try, man. Yeah, man, you might die, but that's that's the fun of being married.
Eddie 00:30:02 You might get stabbed if you're. If it's a Latina, you might get stabbed. You know? Relax because she's coming. Okay, I know this.
Prescott 00:30:10 If you're a tino's from Puerto Rico.
Eddie 00:30:12 Believe me, bro, I know that. But those are the girls that that I just that, I mean, those are the ones that are fun. Those are the ones that keep you on your toes.
Prescott 00:30:21 Hey. All right, so. let's, We got we got another game already. Like they keep coming. They don't stop. For some reason, I thought we needed, like, 2 or 3 weeks off to get over this, but they're going to keep when they go and give us another one on Sunday. This time it's against the Ravens who are surprisingly open to them.
Prescott 00:30:41 They're surprisingly going to the Bengals are going to. But you know I had a big I mean I read a stat ever since they drafted burrow from his first game until now, the first two games of the season, he's one and nine, one and nine. You're talking.
Eddie 00:31:00 About Cincinnati.
Prescott 00:31:00 Here five years. Yeah. Cincinnati ever since he's been drafted the first two games of the season. If you add up all five years he's one and nine. Yeah I'm sorry saying I.
Eddie 00:31:11 Got lost there. Why are we talking about Cincinnati I thought we were talking about our game.
Prescott 00:31:15 No no no, I was just saying surprisingly the Ravens are on 200 and the Bengals are. Oh, and two then. And then that stat popped in my head about the Bengals their own two. But but they've been open to a lot since.
Eddie 00:31:28 Burrow's been.
Prescott 00:31:29 Drafted.
Eddie 00:31:30 People people keep saying hey why is Burroughs in the top top ten quarterback all the time?
Prescott 00:31:35 I know why he's up there.
Eddie 00:31:36 Hasn't done anything.
Prescott 00:31:37 Yet.
Prescott 00:31:37 But but and so I was kind of hoping yeah, I was kind of hoping the Ravens would kill the Raiders so they can be overconfident, but now they might come in pissed. So we've got to match their energy both. We can still win.
Eddie 00:31:51 But both games they lost. They lost at the last second I mean yeah very likely if he wears a ten and a half the Ravens win.
Prescott 00:32:00 That they win.
Eddie 00:32:01 And I mean if the Raiders game I forgot what that play was at the very end. But there was a there was a game changing play that shouldn't have happened. And it it it slipped their season around. Oh and two from they could be two and oh easily Yeah.
Prescott 00:32:21 Easily. Easily. Like I'm talking about. Not like 2 or 3 plays. Literally two plays. And it could be two and.
Eddie 00:32:27 Oh yeah. Seriously, it's it's just a the, the the reason why the ball is shaped the way it is. It really is. It's all it is. It's oblong for a reason.
Eddie 00:32:40 What do you think happened?
Prescott 00:32:41 Weird. one thing I hate is that watch this be the game that King Henry decides. Oh, shoot, I forgot. I'm a £260 running back. They can do whatever I want, and then they're going to try and decide to do it against us. Even though he couldn't do it the first two games of the season, I.
Eddie 00:32:57 Mean, in the in the first half of the Raiders game, he was pretty dominant, especially on the goal line. Like he bullied his playing, but he.
Prescott 00:33:05 And running back years, he's old now, so he's.
Eddie 00:33:07 Getting old and and let's be honest, he doesn't fit well in that offense. He doesn't fit in. It does.
Prescott 00:33:13 Not.
Eddie 00:33:14 He doesn't fit in an option running off. That's why you keep saying I'm surprised.
Prescott 00:33:18 Because I thought he would, because I thought he would be great in that offense. But he's just not like his running style.
Eddie 00:33:25 He needs to take a step and then and then hit the whole like and be going in a as he lowers down.
Eddie 00:33:34 He's just a downhill runner. The downhill comes from yeah.
Prescott 00:33:39 His best stuff comes when the quarterback's under center. Like he doesn't do as well when he's standing next to the quarterback even though he can. His best stuff is Montana. Hill took it under center and he ran. And he already took 2 or 3 steps heading toward the line. But they need to do that for him, which I hope they do not do on Sunday. I hope every snap he takes is standing next to Lamar Jackson.
Eddie 00:34:00 I'd rather him have 130 yards rushing than him, have 60 in Lamar, have like 80 plus passing. Yeah. Lamar man.
Prescott 00:34:11 It's demoralizing. I hate because hurts did it to them last night. He got like 3 or 4 first downs like it was third and ten. He got 11 yards and I'm like, As a fan and as a defense, you hate like if if a running back gets it, you're like, well he's a running back. He should have gotten with a quarterback look in the past.
Prescott 00:34:30 Oh let me run out of here. Three guys. He jukes two and falls and gets 11 yards on third and ten. That is demoralizing if it comes from the quarterback. I feel someone like I always.
Eddie 00:34:41 Keep thinking, you know, like with that Hertz run that we saw last night where he gained like that 12 yards for the first down and we were like, I can't believe they'll be. I keep thinking to myself that in the back of their mind, those defensive linemen and the ends they don't like, he's a quarterback. Don't hit him so hard. He's a quarterback. Don't hit him in this angle like I got. I can't tackle him this way. And then all of a sudden he's gone.
Prescott 00:35:04 If you don't get a flag or whatever. Yeah.
Eddie 00:35:06 So if if you didn't have that mindset and the I don't think that they would be as and especially hurts, I don't think hurts would be as successful. But it's just maybe that's just me being hitting the Eagles a lot.
Prescott 00:35:20 So who do you think wins? Who do you think wins?
Eddie 00:35:25 I think it's the Cowboys.
Prescott 00:35:26 Ravens?
Eddie 00:35:27 I think it's a close game. I think we win like 24, 27, 24, 24, 21. Some something ridiculously close.
Prescott 00:35:37 I actually think the Ravens might win this one. If they do, it's going to be close to like it's going to be close. Either way, I could see us win. Like I would not be surprised if we won, but I wouldn't be surprised if they won. But I think they win. and it's really close. Two points. Three points like 1 to 3 point victory where either they come down and score them in the game or we're going down to try and take the lead and somehow we do not type thing.
Eddie 00:36:07 Which would be the only thing that I know from, from history is that Lamar sucks in the at the end of the game. Lamar, I mean, think if you think about the times that you've watched the Ravens with the ball at the end to score, to win it, never it never comes about. And I don't know if it's just it's just his luck or what.
Eddie 00:36:32 It's just he never does. It was the playoffs two years ago when he couldn't hit, Andrews and the end zone there on like, a three and they couldn't score to to last to this last week where, I mean, he couldn't pick up that first down at the end. It's just I don't I just don't see him being that comeback quarterback. I think that if he builds up a lead then you can't. There's no way you're coming back on them.
Prescott 00:36:57 You know what I mean? And so I think if we can jump out and score early we'll be good. We need we'll be good.
Eddie 00:37:03 We need to get out of this.
Prescott 00:37:04 Have to pass.
Eddie 00:37:05 Literally, literally. Like we need to throw the ball farther than five yards. And then that's all it was. But everybody kept calling him, checked down deck. And this week, you know, I hated it because it was true. Because that's all we were doing in the beginning of the game. Was checking out, checking out, took a nap.
Eddie 00:37:22 Check it out. It's driving me insane.
Prescott 00:37:26 Yeah.
Prescott 00:37:28 But overall, I want us to win. Man, it's so close. But I think they'll they'll pull it out with a 1 to 3. But but then I kind of want us to Aubry to have to kick a 62 yard field goal just so the the torch will be passed from Tucker to him. Like, and Tucker comes out in the middle of the field and like, does the bowing thing. I guess you are the greatest. And that's how the game is over. And I can take that.
Eddie 00:37:54 Yeah, they they had a chance to kick a field goal last week. And Tucker, they pulled Tucker back in, just like we did with Aubry the other day the other week. All right. Well, I think we got our, our, So our guess is in.
Prescott 00:38:15 Yeah. We're good. We got it all. Our anger's out. We're ready for the next week. Our defense better show up. I want them to knock.
Prescott 00:38:22 I want, over shown to put Henry on his. But I want him to spy Lamar. Put him on his. But I want, donno. When Zay Flowers tried to come across the middle to break him in half. I want us to set the tone, man. Yeah. Zimmer. Zimmer needs to, like, sacrifice somebody in the middle of the locker room. Like, who can we give up? Can we give up vigil?
Eddie 00:38:47 We just need to just designate linebackers. We need you to cover the fucking tight ends. That's all we need to do. Stay in our lanes, cover the tight ends, stay in our lanes, cover the Titans. That's all it is.
Prescott 00:39:00 Zimmer, you have my permission. Drain the blood of vigil in front of everybody and drink it, and we'll be right on track. We can give him up.
Eddie 00:39:08 And or.
Prescott 00:39:09 Sign. Sign. Vander Esch for one game and then just kill him in front of everyone to show him you're not playing. I'm down for that.
Prescott 00:39:17 Let's do this.
Eddie 00:39:18 It might be too late for this. It might be too late for this man.
Prescott 00:39:21 We got this.
Here we go drop 00:39:24 Here we go.
Prescott 00:39:26 Got this. Anyway, so, y'all, cowboy nation, keep your head up. We always have won one every season. I'm glad we got it out the way in the second game. So now we can go on. Our last year after the 40 Niners game we just went Super Saiyan on everybody. So we're just going to start that early this year. I agree then then then take a little break around November, lose a couple games and then go on another streak from December all the way to the Super Bowl. That's the the storybook ending. So when they so so when they're telling the story and Morgan Freeman is narrating it, this departure is sad. Thinking, oh woe is me.
Eddie 00:40:05 Let's just go and let's just get, let's let's just get to the bye week without any injuries.
Eddie 00:40:09 How's that?
Eddie 00:40:10 Yeah, that'll make it easier.
Prescott 00:40:12 Really good.
Prescott 00:40:13 Like we're. I mean, Ferg is hurt, but he's not out. Knock on wood. Like all these other teams, all these other teams are losing stars left and right. Like, look.
Eddie 00:40:20 At the night.
Prescott 00:40:21 Before the game.
Eddie 00:40:21 Right after him. We got the Niners after. They're going to be all rested up with CMC. And, Debo ready?
Prescott 00:40:29 All right, Eddie, tell the people how you feel so we can get up out of it.
Eddie 00:40:32 You know how it is. You see, for life, hug your kids and hug your loved ones. Don't go to bed angry. I just love you.
