Speaker 1:

Uh, topics for this week. Well, you know it's week three, nfl, so we're gonna do that. Um, we're gonna do some commanders talk at the end, since they had the monday night game, and we're also going to have some sprinkled in questions from the community that I'm going to be answering. So, again, if you don't know how the questions of the community work on Sunday, sunday morning, sunday afternoon, anytime before that day, since I usually record Monday night or Tuesday afternoon, I always pose my question in there. Questions that you want to ask will want to be answered on the pod. That are, since we're in the NFL season, nfl related. I got three questions this week so I'm just going to mix them in as I get to you know which team games. So if you want to get in on that again, make sure you follow in all the socials on the Bench with Rob, ig, tiktok and Threads. On that again, make sure you follow in all the uh socials on the bench, or rob uh, ig, tiktok and threads and I usually only put it on my ig. I guess I can start putting it on threads and I I'm. I probably could do it on tiktok too. Anyway, let's get into it so we can start with the first question.

Speaker 1:

Question for the community is uh says do you think rookie qbs with one or two years in the league need to sit and be groomed to play? Uh, let me get a sip of water. Um, I think it depends, man. Um, number one I think it depends on on what team are you going to, what situation are you going to? Are you going to a team where you already have an established quarterback? Are you going to a team where they need a quarterback? Are you going to a team where you weren't a high draft pick and you're just going to be there until this person goes. I mean, honestly, you would like for them to be groomed, but I mean that's the purpose of them getting drafted number one, number two, you know, first-round pick. They're getting drafted first round to be able to go straight onto the field. Not to mention that they're paying these dudes, you know, 15, $20 million, $25 million for rookie contracts.

Speaker 1:

So, from the NFL aspect, from the money aspect, from the performance and the entertainment aspect, they want them to come from. You know, if you did four years in college, your Heisman Trophy, or you just had a crazy, crazy year years in college, you are expected to come straight into the NFL week one of your rookie year and get it in now. Does that mean everyone is going to be able to perform? No, you know, I'm saying you're going to have some people that that are going to pick up right where they left off in college. You're going to have some people that are gonna uh kind of have to adjust the way they were playing from college. You're gonna have some people that's gonna struggle. You're gonna have some people, you know, as we're looking at now, you're gonna have some people who was fucking number one draft picks, heisman trophies, and they was some shit. Their first couple of years went to a couple of teams and now they're doing good and then it's just something that's just flat out bums.

Speaker 1:

So, to answer the question, um, on the you know, on the money side. All right, so this will really be my answer. So me, as a Commanders fan, after watching what I watched last year a season where we only won four games, you know would I want to see Jaden Daniels on the sideline for this season, because it's a requirement or it's the right thing to do for him to just be on the sideline and not play, just because we want him to be groomed. Groomed by who? Sam Howell, taylor, heineke? Who is he getting groomed by? So in that sense, no, he needs to come on in and play, if that makes sense. I hope I answered your question. So let's move into week one, week three, I'm sorry. Let's move into week three, bell, please, all right? So of course, every game's not getting covered, just the ones that you know. I either watch the whole thing of or just. You know. This shit was just crazy. I had to.

Speaker 1:

Thursday night football you had the patriots versus the Jets. The Jets won. It's just Aaron Rodgers doing Aaron Rodgers shit 27-35, 281 yards, two touchdowns. They had a lot of run plays too, man. Over 25 carries between both their running backs, braylon Allen and Brees Hall. Patriots were just outplayed. Brissette was getting hit a lot. I mean he only went 12, 18, 19 yards. I mean at least he ain't throwing no picks. But the Jets are now 2-1.

Speaker 1:

You had New York versus Cleveland. New York won that joint 21-15. Chicago versus Indy what's that? Indy won 21-16. Chicago, y'all good over there, I don't know.

Speaker 1:

Number one draft pick huh, I don't know. I mean 20,. I mean, I'm sorry, 33 for 52, 363 yards, two touchdowns, two interceptions. I mean 363 yards is cool, but sheesh, 52 throws, fuck me. It's a bit disturbing, man. I mean time will tell. It's only the third game. We're going into week four. We'll see. But as of right now, number one draft picked my ass. And I mean even then, like Anthony Richardson only went 10 for 20, 162 yards. He had two picks. So how did y'all lose? Oh, jonathan Taylor, that's why Ran that shit up y'all ass over 100 yards with two touchdowns. So I mean I need to see more from Caleb. I'm not sold yet. You know what I'm saying Less painted nails, more wins.

Speaker 1:

Let's just try there. Next game, yeah, houston versus Minnesota. Wow, 34-7,. Minnesota busts Houston's ass. I mean this has been a surprising week in football. Like I didn't expect Houstonston to lose this game, definitely not lose by that much.

Speaker 1:

So how did they? How did they lose? I mean, cj stroud went 20 for 31, 215 yards. One touchdown, two interceptions been a lot of two interception quarterbacks this week. But then you look stefan diggs. Uh, one catch, 13 yards.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, better get that boy the ball. You know how he get when he don't get the ball and he ain't going to sit for too many. You know one games when he only getting one catch. You know what I mean. I don't know how many times he got targeted. One catch is one catch. And I mean just, you know, sam Donald, like, am I the only one that feel like sam donald is old as fuck whole time? He's only 27 years old. So, and definitely a big shout out to the old or the the once great, but now they washed quarterbacks that they've been stepping up to the call of duty as needed. The vikings are three and oh, and just for context, sam donald was 17 for 28 181 yards, but he had four fucking touchdowns, not to mention, bro, four touchdowns. Are you kidding me? The vikings are three or no, and I know, I know, my buddy, keith rose bro, is eating that shit up, man. So, yeah, they three. And oh, we're gonna get credit when creditors do um next game.

Speaker 1:

You got philly versus the new orleans saints. Philly won this game 15 and 12 man. Philly stole this fucking game at the end. I really thought they was gonna lose. This was a defensive battle, man. Like both teams, defense was shutting shit down and nobody was really able to do anything, outside of saquon barkley, of course. I mean. Derrick carr was 14 for 25, 142 yards, one touchdown pick. Alva Kamara had 26 carries 87 yards. What is that? Jalen Hurts was, you know, 29 for 38, 311, one pick. But then you had Saquon 17 rushes, 147 yards and two touchdowns. And not to mention that long run he had at the end, which pretty much sealed the deal for the game. Hey, look Saquon playing real good man. He's been playing real good since he switched teams, man, and if he keeps this up, we definitely going to be looking at a strong candidate for offensive player of the year. That's just my opinion. But yeah, philly won. I needed the Saints to win this game. But now you know, now we tied up in the division, the commanders, that is. But now you know, now we tied up in the division commanders, that is Next game.

Speaker 1:

You had Pittsburgh versus the Chargers. Pittsburgh is 3-0 with Justin Fields at the helm. I'm just saying, I'm just saying Russell Wilson, I'm just saying I mean shit, you better get your ass back soon or you're going to be short. You had Denver versus Tampa Bay. Denver beat Tampa Bay 26-7. Wow, didn't see that coming either. Green Bay beat Tennessee 30-14. Tennessee might be one of the worst teams in the league and Green Bay, you definitely about to have a quarterback controversy on your hands right here because Malik Willis looking real good and our peak game.

Speaker 1:

How they was showing Jordan Love like warming up and shit right before the game, like bro, he's not playing, like don't rush him back, y'all winning the game, y'all winning. You got somebody winning. Don't rush him back. All right, you got some shit going, but you know I understand, you paid him big bread, but don't rush him back. You know, I mean still, you know, protect your investment.

Speaker 1:

Next game, uh, carolina versus the las vegas raiders. Carolina beat the raiders ass. Sorry, d-dub beat that ass. 36 to 22, 73 year old andy dalton out there, you know. You know what's andy dalton's uh nickname is. I heard they call him the Red Rifle. I don't know about that. That shit sound a little dangerous. But I'm going to tell you what, though? That motherfucking haircut is intense, ain't it that motherfucker like Johnny Bravo out there. But yeah, he went fucking 26 for 37. 319 yards, three touchdowns, as well as who the fuck is Chuba Somebody correct me if I'm saying this wrong Hubbard 21 rushes, 114 yards. Man, look Okay.

Speaker 1:

Question from the community. This is pertaining to the Panthers. What do you think the Panthers should do with Bryce Young? Well, look here If you get a couple of more games out of Andy Dalton like this, you might be looking to go ahead and trade him up. It's crazy because you gave up the house to get him, but you might have to go ahead. And just you know, believe it or not, there's still teams out here that's worse than Carolina that might want to take him. I mean, right now I'm looking at potentially the Titans or the Jaguars, who are, in my opinion, the worst teams in the league. Maybe they might want to make some room for him, but I don't see him starting for nobody, not this season, unless it's just a lot of fucking injuries and people just need a quarterback. That's the only way he's going to be starting this season, in my opinion.

Speaker 1:

Then you got Miami versus the Seahawks. Seahawks won 24-3. Seahawks looking sweet. They play Detroit next Monday night, if I'm not mistaken. Going to be a good game. You got Detroit versus Arizona Detroit won 20-13. Detroit might be my second favorite team, man. I just like the coach, I like the environment, I like what they're doing.

Speaker 1:

Then you got, uh, baltimore versus dallas. Baltimore won 28, 25, tsk, tsk, um. It definitely got to be some tension going on in that cowboys locker room. Man, I mean dac went 28 for 51, 379 yards, two touchdowns. Honestly, bro, I look at it like this I don't give a fuck if you threw 600 yards, but when you got damn near like you know, when you only got like 25, but you threw the ball 50 times, that's not good Like it's not good at all. So I mean the run game was non-existent.

Speaker 1:

What the fuck is Zeke Elliott out there doing? He looking fucking lost, like he about the most lost looking player he is just. It's crazy how like he was really really a big name in the league, bro, and he is literally just turning into fucking nothing. Just a nigga out there carrying the ball. But yeah, dallas, looking crazy, cd Lamb is pissed. You know he getting pass interference calls. He getting overthrown, Didn't it seem like Dak was just, he was just off. He was either just throwing the ball behind a lot of his receivers, he was overthrowing like he overthrew Brandon Cooks. It could have been a touchdown. You know what I'm saying? Underthrew CD Lamb. He had to come back and get the ball.

Speaker 1:

Like damn bro, 60 million a year, you're supposed to be throwing them dots man. And honestly, bro, with that 240 million a year, how are they gonna pay michael parsons when it come time to pay? Like? This is gonna be like like some joe flacco shit when they won the superbowl. Dallas ain't winning no superbowl. This is like when joe flacco and them won the Super Bowl and then they gave them that big contract and then the whole fucking team had to get blown up Because they had no money for nobody else. You're paying CeeDee Lamb, you're paying fucking Dak. Where you gonna get that Micah Parsons money from? Because he ain't gonna take no short shit. He gonna be a max player.

Speaker 1:

I'll be watching. Then you had San Francisco Play the Rams the Rams won. I'll be watching. Um, then you had san francisco played the rams the rams won, wow, 27, 24. Yeah, kansas city playing atlanta sunday night football um, they won 22 to 17. Good game, you know. At first I was, I was worried about uh, kansas city losing their, uh, their running back. But but I, they got. They got old p r Ryan out there running man. P Ryan used to play for the Washington football team when they was that name and he was doing the dirty work, man. So you know good on him that he's still in the league. Man, I ain't going to fake man Travis Kelsey looking a little out of shape out there, but I ain't going to say anything about it yet. I'm going to wait a few more games.

Speaker 1:

Jacksonville play buffalo, monday night football. I'm just gonna say jacksonville is the worst team in the league. They lost 47 to 10. They looking crazy out there. That's it. That's the message.

Speaker 1:

And then you got my commanders. You got them washington, motherfucking commanders. You understand. I made my little video today, my on the bench segment for them, and I got a question from the community on this. You probably should have waited before you sent this. He said what do you think the problems the commanders have with their offense? We could not score a touchdown last week. Well, if you watched the game last night, you're going to be eating your goddamn words. Commanders beat cincinnati in cincinnati. Monday night football. All the lights on 38 to 33 man, oh man, you're talking about an electrifying fucking game. Jayden daniels 21 for 23 254 yards. Two touchdowns, one russian touchdown by brian robinson, one russian touchdown by austin eckler and a vicious little uh uh kick return from austin eckler as well, even though he went out with a concussion. I hope he's okay.

Speaker 1:

Listen, y'all want to say, oh, he got the college playbook. I don't give a fuck. That shit works. Don't get me wrong. I was at first. I was like damn, why I keep throwing all these short ass passes? Why keep throwing these short passes? Like what? Like, what are we doing? You know, I'm saying like is this how he was playing in college? Like what's going on? Well, maybe he, he can't read the defense. Maybe that's why they only got him throwing them short passes. Well, that just wasn't the fucking case, because that motherfucker threw that first bomb to terry mccaurin.

Speaker 1:

I was out of my fucking seat. I thought I was at the game. I jumped up so fast I was dizzy as hell and he got up, amped up, like I could see the passion in Terry McLaurin face when he, walking on the side, even though he didn't score. He got down on probably like the two or three yard line even though he didn't score. The passion and the war cry I see coming out of his face. This is somebody, somebody who, like man, get me the fucking ball. I'm being patient, but I want the ball. Y'all pay me this money. Let me show y'all what I can do. That's when he came and gave Dan Quinn a big ass fucking hug and then Bryan Robinson ran that shit in right after that man.

Speaker 1:

Now I will say there was a couple of passes that Jaden Daniels missed Wide open, tight ends, the rookie dude we picked up. But you know that'll come with time, man. But I feel like they really let him play this time. And even on them fourth downs where he, looking like man, let's play, let's play. He really showed me that he really out here trying to play some fucking football. So maybe the plan was just keep it conservative for the first two games and then let's go ahead and start firing shit up. You know I'm saying but the offense was fucking great, but that defense was complete shit. Let me get a sip of water for that. I had to say that twice. That defense was complete shit.

Speaker 1:

Hey, jonathan allen, hey Payne, where the fuck was y'all even at like 20 mil a year, where y'all at, I'm just I'm looking at like, oh my god bro, the linebackers are working so fucking hard because the front four is so fucking weak. Just this game y'all was weak as hell. Joe, joe burrow had a lot of fucking time to throw the ball dog, like y'all. Y'all was getting in there a couple of times but not enough. I get it. You're going to. You know you're going against like 300 pound dudes. I'm not a football player but I know when motherfuckers pay you a certain amount of money you expected to deliver. And I'm not seeing that shit. And we, we can be getting rid of one of these niggas and picking up some corners, because our corners fucking suck. I mean the play calling. I mean I just I just feel like y'all did the best, y'all could you know, y'all just getting burnt.

Speaker 1:

You know, I'm saying you played jamar chase, the first or second player of the game, single coverage. You had a rookie on him because goddamn emmanuel, emmanuel forbes, bum ass, his thumb is messed up, that's what they're calling it. He got scorched touchdown pass. Jamar Chase first, first, second fucking play of the game. I'm like, oh shit, but we, we marched back down and scored. Immediately. I said that's why I know we had a game. But then later on in the game he goes to the other side because they was moving his ass around. They was moving Jamar Chase all over the fucking field. And then you play single coverage again. He gets scorched fucking field. And then you play single coverage again. He gets scorched. Fucking St Jude gets scorched, bro, why y'all playing single coverage? But it's like, what do you do? You double him up and then T Higgins is open, or whoever that their fucking rookie goddamn tight end is. Every time they doubled him up, the other two guys was always open. So, bro, that defense ain't ready. We only won this game because we had a high-powered offense. We are not about to fucking score 38 points a game. The defense needs to tighten the fuck up. But again, we still won, though. We still won.

Speaker 1:

On Monday Night, football SportsCenter was showing us big love. You know what I'm saying? The analysts were showing us big love. We don't never get no love, bro, on these sports talk radio shows. We don't never get no love dog. So I'm gonna soak that shit in, I'm soaking the whole fucking thing, I'm gonna take it out of there. I'm gonna be talking shit all week and now maybe we can put that narrative to bed that we play really bad on primetime football. Let me know, man, that's all I got for the week. Man, it's a short one. Um, if you like what you heard, man, again, I implore you, man, to subscribe to. You know, whatever your respective streaming service you want, my shit is on youtube as well.
