00:0015 minutes of game day uncensored here on QAM is brought to you by the Lexus RX, the luxury SUV
00:05for those who never want to lose their edge.
00:07Experience amazing at your Lexus dealer.
00:11Woody, man, I keep watching the highlights and they're either highlights or somebody's getting hurt highlights.
00:16Oh, man. Yeah, it's a bunch of guys. Yeah, drilled yesterday.
00:20Yep. It is week to week dropping like flies out there, man.
00:24Well, you better better have a deep team or be a tough year to win fantasy football.
00:28You know who seems to be staying healthy right now, although I shouldn't say that Nick Boza did not play
00:34yesterday.
00:35I saw he's inactive before the game. Yeah, 49ers did get some players back there.
00:40They look pretty healthy compared to where they usually are. Yep.
00:44So that thing's a team to beat right now, I guess. 49ers? Yeah, probably.
00:53Although Omar doesn't think they're very good, but.
00:58I don't know. I don't know what he saw out there.
01:00He saw a bunch of old guys running around.
01:04Hey, well, I'm glad he thinks we have such.
01:06The good news is he thinks we have a good roster and we're not getting enough out of it.
01:12I'd like I'd like to see that experience he's talking about.
01:18So, so, so part of it is not a shot that whether we have talent or not, we just don't
01:22know.
01:23What? Hey, there's no shortcuts in this league.
01:26There's no shortcuts.
01:27And I got to tell you, Mr. Rodriguez in the middle there is as just about two games in and
01:33the lights went off.
01:34And he's made a lot of plays.
01:38Last week against Kansas City and then going to Minnesota, he also made a lot of plays.
01:44And next thing you know, like you look it up and go, man, how many tackles has he been in
01:49on so far?
01:50Thing went from like 10 to 18 during the game.
01:54Great to see Ollie Gordon, too.
01:56Nice, nice game for Ollie Gordon, who, who has really taken over that running back position, the way he's played
02:02and big run.
02:06I'm guessing, although you got to be careful in the NFL, we talked about this with Mike Florio.
02:13I'm guessing Jeff Halfley is going to send in every coach.
02:17I think every coach does.
02:18I can't imagine a coach has felt like he got screwed on a call.
02:21You can send stuff in and they'll, they'll reply to you.
02:25Yeah, we missed this call.
02:26Yeah, he should, you know, he shouldn't have been down.
02:29We blew the whistle too early or, or something, but, but they're pretty, I like it.
02:35But part of this is we're going to tell you the truth, but you can't go out and bad mouth
02:39us.
02:39You can't give the report that we give you needs to stay between us.
02:44And if it gets away from you and your coaching staff, then we, we, we're going to have a problem.
02:48We're going to find your ass.
02:50And that's, that's what they do.
02:52So I w I would like to know, and that's going to be on the list to find out what
02:58Jeff Halfley thought about some of the calls.
03:01Some of them are just so close.
03:02I mean, I, I don't know.
03:04I, I, I still know if the finger touched the punt up the middle, you know, again, it would be
03:09nice if we didn't get in that situation.
03:11Where's that close and clearly can get rid of the ball.
03:15Second of all, you know, on the sideline, it'd be nice if you turned up and you gave yourself some
03:21room to turn up on a, on a pattern where you stop.
03:24And now you got a chance to break wide open.
03:28Um, because the quarterbacks mind some extra time and he flips it up.
03:31He's looking down the field to, to not be on the line or close to it.
03:36So you don't have to leave it up to those officials.
03:40But, uh, yeah, we, we can get a lot of those close calls.
03:44We didn't, we haven't gotten a lot of them so far, but I'm not, that's not, that's it, man.
03:49You got to get better and keep rolling and not come in every Monday and say, we got screwed.
03:54And chop should have never been called for the penalty and I mean, okay, got it.
03:59They were showing yesterday, some other guys that went off the side a little bit and we have guys standing
04:06there going, what do you think?
04:07And he goes, well, he looks like he's off, uh, the quarterback.
04:09It's not a, he didn't land directly on him with all his weight.
04:13And I don't know, man, I think those officials have really tough, tough jobs.
04:20They're, they're calling, they didn't make up the rules of the game.
04:23They're told every year, Hey, we're adding this.
04:26We want to protect the quarterbacks more.
04:28Hey, we got to make sure we put, you know, on the sideline calls and the slide and, and they're
04:33tough to make, man.
04:34Those calls are, they're tough.
04:37So they're making them.
04:40And, um, again, we just keep putting more in these guys plates and some of it, you can review and
04:47some you can't.
04:49So that's, uh, that's where you're at.
04:51They say they blow the whistle.
04:52There's not much you can do if they say they blow the whistle, but, uh, yeah, I feel like today
04:57has been a lot more negative than I would have expected.
04:59Joe, I did not watch that game yesterday and have the takeaway that, you know, we, we had some underperforming
05:05roster.
05:06Well, we, of guys, I, I just, not, not my takeaway from it.
05:11And, you know, I guess Omar got it pretty stirred up cause people are tweeting now.
05:15Uh, uh, one of our guys, uh, Chicharito on here, he said, uh, uh, Omar having his usual takes.
05:21I wonder what his beef is with Malik Washington.
05:23He's been the most consistent and best player on offense this season so far.
05:27Just doesn't want to give him respect.
05:29No, he's been, uh, I don't think he's a big Malik Washington guy either.
05:33I think that's why the, I don't know, I don't know, I don't, I don't know.
05:37I don't know.
05:39He's turned into a good player for us, but we do need the two guys on the outside to take
05:45over the one and two.
05:46And we need Caleb Douglas back.
05:47Hopefully this week, I'm going to play, we'll play some of this stuff back.
05:52I'm going to clip this up and we'll, we'll play.
05:53Is that okay?
05:55Cause like he, he was on the six o'clock hour.
05:58So maybe people don't know what we're talking about, but some of these, these takes were.
06:02Well, first of all, you can't say we have a better, there's nobody out there.
06:05You can agree.
06:06Whatever you feel about Malik, I'm not changing anybody's mind, but you can't call and tell me that you think
06:10Washington, that Minnesota has, we, we have a better roster than Minnesota.
06:15You can't tell me that nobody's going to sit here and say that nobody in their right mind is going
06:20to say a team that's undefeated for their first four games.
06:25And you can't just say it's coaching is why they're this good or something.
06:29What was the other one?
06:30What was the, what was the couple of them?
06:32Just give me some.
06:33Uh, you had that one.
06:34You had, uh, we haven't played any good defenses yet, which was a little bit of a strange take.
06:43Like, Joe, I don't know that anyone has separated themselves as like a great team at this point.
06:48I think 49ers are really good.
06:50No, there's some good teams.
06:51But you've played, you know, the teams that we've played, we did this, that's one loss between all of them.
06:56And the only reason that the Raiders have a loss is because they played the Chiefs.
07:00Yeah.
07:01They lost by three.
07:03We got, you know what, the, the, the coaches and the, or these guys, they, they knew what this was
07:11going to be about.
07:12As soon as we did the whole cap hit and we took all that money and we just put it
07:17in the cemetery and we sent it off to players and said, okay, we're going to clean it one time,
07:22clean this thing up.
07:24Um, it went right to like, all right, this thing's about you guys.
07:28And you looked at your draft class and you looked at your other draft class, eight from two years ago,
07:3313 from this past year and go, Hey guys, you're going to play a lot of football.
07:37We're going to fill in around you.
07:38We got five or six veteran guys.
07:40We really like, they're going to be the captains.
07:41They're the best players.
07:43They're going to be patient and work with you and lead you because they're good leaders as well.
07:47Took care of all those guys, got them new contracts.
07:51And, uh, and here we go.
07:54And that's what we're doing.
07:55We're, we're running around with all those guys I'm talking about, um, on this team.
08:02So a lot of guys are rookies and second year players.
08:07So, I mean, if you, you think, you know, we should, we should be better and winning.
08:11Hey, you know, we, we clean some things up.
08:13We can get even closer and we're going to get somebody.
08:18We're going to get somebody.
08:20And they're getting more confidence.
08:23I think that the character of the team is obvious by the way they played again yesterday.
08:27And everybody thought how, how they can play on the road and it's loud.
08:31And they got after it pretty good, man.
08:34A lot of guys had really good games.
08:35A lot of players played really, really well.
08:38So.
08:39I have one of these clips.
08:41If, if you want, you want one now?
08:42I don't want them.
08:43I don't.
08:44I, my favorite part of this clip, by the way, is the, uh, the gate agent.
08:47You know, he's at the airport flying home and the gate agent apologizes for the penalties.
08:52I don't know if she, he, she thought he was talking to her.
08:58Listen to this.
08:59For me, it's the penalty show.
09:01Um, sorry.
09:02That's okay.
09:03Sorry.
09:04Sorry about the penalty.
09:05Yeah.
09:06It's the penalty show.
09:07Uh, this is a, um, it will be one thing if this wasn't a winnable game.
09:15Um, and the Minnesota Vikings are better than the Miami Dolphins.
09:20I think the Dolphins are the ones that keep getting in their own way.
09:23Keep getting in their own way against two.
09:26Now, two things can be true there, right?
09:29Everybody's got a veteran team.
09:30Nobody's doing what we're doing.
09:32They did get in their own way, but man.
09:36Hey, man, they said, pat him on the back, growing pain.
09:41I love that gate agent.
09:42That was very funny.
09:43She timed up.
09:44She goes, I'm so sorry about these penalties.
09:49Try to notice Omar was on the phone.
09:52Maybe he was wearing those, like, uh, those air pod things she didn't even see.
09:55Thought he was talking to her.
10:00Oh, man.
10:02Yeah.
10:04Phew.
10:05We haven't played any good defenses.
10:06Was that the other one?
10:08Yeah, I'll get that one.
10:09All the defense.
10:10I haven't seen where they all rank, but I don't know.
10:12A lot of people.
10:13Don't waste your time, bro.
10:14I think that aggressive style defense in Minnesota runs is pretty good.
10:18If you're, if you're four and oh right now, your defense probably playing.
10:21All right.
10:21You're okay.
10:22I agree.
10:24You're right.
10:24Probably not a lot of four and oh's that are really struggling.
10:27I don't know.
10:28Winning all their games and shootouts.
10:30Not four and oh.
10:31We don't, I don't think we have a lot of four and oh teams left, do we?
10:35We're cutting down here.
10:36Two maybe?
10:38Team we play in the 49ers, I know for sure.
10:40Oh, the two teams, yeah.
10:41The Bills lost.
10:42Bills are down.
10:45Who are we missing?
10:46Anyway, I'll tell you what we're missing.
10:48We're missing going to break here.
