After Hours with Amy Lawrence PODCAST: Hour 3

Football fans are you breathing if you're a Dallas Cowboys man.

He probably got a massive exhale, more like a sigh, really funny. Speaking of size. Penny snores during football. It's inevitable. I don't know how it happened but the fact that she's partially deaf. Now he's hard of hearing means that at least the football doesn't bother her. She used to not like the noise of football and she would leave the room when she woke up from her nap.

She would she would get up and she would go another room because she thought it was too loud.

So now she lays right in front of the TV and she can't hear the football really.

I keep it turned down a little bit so that she doesn't bother her but really funny.

On Sunday she was laying in front of the TV and she was having some kind of a dream because she's kicking and she's moving all around in her dream and she's making noises and then in the middle there's there's is Popeyes in all of her movements over four legs are moving everything stops and she goes and goes back to like her crazy dream again. I thought I was part of her dream, or if she woke up for a second and then fell back asleep and went back to dreaming but it was like that. It was everything moving in legs taking a could hear her nails clicking on the floor where her legs were kicking and then a pause in a and then expect, like all over again, woke up and realized she was having her dogs aware of their dreams. Like I doubt it. But then she went right back to the kicking, so I feel like the sigh was part of her dream may be like troika. What was that right back into it and she's so funny she was mobile when she's awake. But when she's asleep she's kicking away so she was that she was getting adjusted to football season again. This time leashes and to deal with the noise and I have to be careful.

I can't yell because the dogs still. She's can still hear me yelling side.

I try to not scare her with my yelling at the TV, but I feel his Bengals game. There was a lot to you that after hours with Amy to be a how are we already into our number three were live from the rocket mortgage Studios.

Whether you're looking to purchase a new home or refinance yours. Rocket mortgage can help you get there home on solutions that fit your life rocket can. We will get to your reactions or your overreaction.

Whichever you choose to share with me coming up in 15 minutes here on the show and I see many of you are responding to up to us on Twitter after hours. CBS or you responding on our Facebook page, which is named after the show.

There are a few other games that went down to the wire and featured pretty surprising, even stunning comebacks and rallies to want to try to cram those in here at the top of this hour, but also we still have to get to what is and will let you hear a little more. What is the big story coming from Sunday night football which is Jack Prescott injured requires thumb surgery.

According to both he and Jerry Jones and he's out for a while a few weeks they don't really know there to talk to the surgeon, but Jack and Jerry Jones have confirmed it. And so while there were other big injuries will wait to hear about the Steelers on Monday or Tuesday there was a report out there, or maybe it was speculation.

I guess I will label to report, but that was simply speculation that technology has a Liz Frank injury, and if that's the case he could be out for the season. Although I don't know that that's the truth. I just know that I saw chatter about it on social media and and that if if TJ Watt has a torn pectoral muscle. He could also miss the season which is just brutal, considering how well that defense played right away, but the Tampa Bay Buccaneers suffered a couple losses on her offense of line and speaking of old lines is that one reason why Jack Prescott causally had people in his face because the transition on the Cowboys offense of line still is taking its toll on it's not anywhere near as good or as stout as it's been since Jack was a rookie when they would a 15 and one when Jack was a rookie member they went.

If that was either 13 Windsor 15 when I can keep all of my Dallas Cowboys records to rate one of the reasons why they were so good that years are rookies because he had all the time in the world to throw the football 13 and three. Thank you. Producer J that office-supply was so good. Well it's not anymore. It's had some defections it's had some injury that had some office and so it's been a lot of transition and if you pay any judge of football, or even if you don't just take my word for it.

The offense of line is the key to everything. Everything on the opposite side of the ball. We don't give those guys enough credit when things are going smoothly. Not every quarterback can avoid and elude pressure by there was one play that stood out to me on Sunday in the slop in Chicago which will talk about here coming up.

It's after hours on CBS sports radio and what we do that when we stick with the the wild finishes because were just talking about Bengals and Steelers what it was another one that went into overtime with the exact same score 2220 and we saw Bengals and Steelers with the multiple mist kicks at the end of regulation and into the extra. Only to see some redemption for Chris Boswell with a 53 yarder that finally secured the win for the Steelers. Otherwise they were headed to a tie. Well Colts Texans in Houston.

Matt Ryan's debut with the Indianapolis Colts. I'm telling you what, at least initially, I think about it and process were all of these guys have gone. It's really weird to think about Baker somewhere else in Cleveland and it's also very strange. It's jarring to think about.

Matt Ryan somewhere else but Atlanta and Matt Ryan whose received a timeline of praise from the Colts, not just on the field, but also the coaching staff Frank Reich.

He throws interception that gives Houston its first touchdown meeting with you. It was like the whole week one. It's not that we don't know these guys, we haven't seen them play before, it's just such a wild adjustment, especially, they haven't played in the preseason at all and so Matt Ryan's first pick leads to a Davis Mills touchdown pass to OJ Howard again. What I'm saying guys all over the place in new uniforms and the check eventually lead by touchdown at the break that in the third quarter is a Matt Ryan fungal, and that leads to OJ Howard second touchdown Edwards 23 until we see good Matt Ryan reappear veteran Matt Ryan experienced Matt Ryan successful.

Matt Ryan, former MVP Matt Ryan. He leads a pair of touchdown drives and a field-goal drives so three scores right in a row in the fourth quarter for the Colts and then there's a 13 Play Dr. in overtime to set up a field goal attempt number what I said adventures in kicking really a theme for week one.

This is a yard line is God like so roots in the day. Football never know what all that negative nor distorted here the disgust on Colts radio and then you hear Texans radio and there almost happy with the tie but he sure they found that is by and relieved with the tie.

You don't know me have your just hearing the show for the first time or maybe it's your first time listening to us in a football season. I despise ties in pro sports. Their gross as in eat food off the floor grows simple. I do not think there should be any ties in pro sports. You get paid to decide a winner. There should be no ties. I really can't stand the NFL's overtime system, but at least there was only one and not to. By the way Jonathan Taylor with 161 yards rushing in this game. He was a beast by Matt Ryan has two turnovers and while he has more than 350 yards passing. He goes 32 of 50. So here's my thing you got Jonathan Taylor and I get it. He ran a lot. It's a big place. You do not want Matt Ryan throwing the ball 50 times. I know they were behind, I get all of that, the challenges of having to rally the fourth quarter. But seriously, you have gathered Taylor you have a great offense of line you do not want Matt Ryan throwing the ball 50 times moving forward so strange euros will drain you see a lot of mistakes in the first first recorders that will force and so you know you're disappointed to not come out here with center I wouldn't lose and find a way to tighten things out that the effort across the board. To me this is encouraging, John suggested we play with that kind of intensity clean up somebody's mistakes. Just executing the debtor. There's a lot of things with you and run no drill came back enough doing and Matt Ryan first and then Michael Pittman, who actually had over 120 yards receiving, as well as a touchdown and they did have a serious comeback effort, but I feel like the satisfaction over that have to be somewhat muted with the back and they ended in a tie even though they did have opportunities. So what about the Houston perspective and Rexburg honestly goes really well. So just because no place will first have this kind of change in the second verdict is really anything going so I can have no window time like this swallow major credits of you know any for going back there in the second fight or make adjustments at halftime. This cannot execute. Next, you were the first thing some of the details of that were sharp on so you can get complacent.

It kind of feels like a loss. That's what he has to say about it and so I guess it depends upon your perspective.

But if you're the team that allowed your opponent to rally if they put 17 boys of the board in the fourth quarter. I can imagine why that feels like a punch in the gut/loss it's after hours here on CBS portrayed Saints and Falcons in the NFC South also had a furious finish lot of fun to see. Take the pill go to work. By the way direct snap 57 yards in the first half the mages rumbles he trucks people. He had a first quarter touchdown for the Atlanta answers with three scoring drives and they use the run game as well. Cordero Patterson last year. Cordero was supposed to be a second option and he had this incredible season is this big revelation what they're missing people obviously and they no longer have Matt Ryan. Now it's Marcus Mario that they need a complementary run game and Cordero was fantastic.

The Falcons are also able to get pressure on James Winston for sacks into the early stages of the third quarter and so in the middle of the third. The Falcons are already up 2310 Marcus Mario does get a second season via a 2 yard touchdown and there sitting pretty but it's the only manager field-goal the rest of the way and that you could see that St. defense tightened up, but one of the big things did we just keep the ball away as well. They didn't allow extended possession of James Winston is coming off a torn ACL is able to settle in a little bit annual and scores on its final three drives of the day and wouldn't you know it. After two years away. We got to see a glorious return from Michael Thomas Mike Thomas just be like out there with the guys put on a uniform contributing value hope is to move chains and and to the powerful victory is surrounded by great players and great coaches a great organizational notice when numbers call make a play. I wish I could make more like a level couple plays out there, but all will watch the film will get that corrected and will come back and it is so good to see Thomas back on the field first action for him since week 14 of 2020 the covert year, but he missed all of last year and let's be honest there are a lot of people who never thought he would take a snap with the Saints again. But here he is with a pair of touchdowns you here on saints radio and so after being up by double digits, multiple scores the saints come back in his furious rally James Winston in the final minute of 40 yard strike to Jarvis Landry new receiver, but that's how they start their last drive and they get just inside field-goal range for well let's see what is special-teams does its job on both and because the states get that 51 yard field goal 19 seconds to go and then the these special-teams for the Saints are able to block a 63 yard attempt.

Obviously the trajectory is a lot lower for longer kick in so they're more apt to be blocked, but Dennis Allen gets his first win as the head coach of the New Orleans Saints and for the Falcons you want to talk about bitter disappointment knowledge they waste an early leave early lead they they waste a second half lead. That's double digits, but 200+ yards rushing in this loss of the Falcons as they say. For sacks of James Winston is almost more than they had all of last season. Okay, not quite, but pretty close. So there's a pasteurized and there's a run game and Mario plays well and they're unable on defense to hold off the states so furious rally but then got only one tie.

What are you reacting and/or overreacting to you can find me on Twitter a lot radio also on our Facebook page after hours with a we will sift through your emotions coming up next. Thanks for hanging out with us. Following the first NFL Sunday of the season. It's back and it's better than ever. What lease we help this first week left a little bit to be desired listening to after hours on CBS you are listening to the after-hours podcast Miami special all you all the more the after-hours time to talk football with Amy Lawrence patriot playing in Miami well maybe I don't. But Bill Belichick hates this trip to Miami. It seems like they rarely play well in their trip to South Florida to take on their division rival the Miami Dolphins the calls they are on Dolphins radio and then to a tagalong lot of work done to put weapons around him, including Tyree Kell and while the offense wasn't dynamic. Mike McDaniel gets doused with colored Gatorade brightly colored Gatorade and get the game ball after he leaves the Dolphins to a season-opening win against the Pats. It's after hours with a below and found it was 17 nothing Miami at the break.

Matt Jones has an interception on the opening drive that leads to adults field-goal. There's a sack and a fumble that's recovered by Melvin Ingram for a touchdown that the 2 yard line couldn't beat out when you are spot on the field for Mac in the Pats so the only touchdown drive for the patriots is the third quarter.

But there's another fumble three turnovers by New England. Meanwhile to what is solidly steady. 270 yards and a score and then Tyree Kell in his Miami debut eight catches for 94 yards really seems like they were thrilled for Mike McDaniel above all else Bill Belichick well thrilled is not the way that you would describe him after this trip to Miami researcher showed pretty even. To replace 14 points really stupid. Employers really hurt us drive better bosons of all to injury to insult Mac Jones was not made available to the media. Following this game because he suffered a back injury and had to get x-rays following the loss of the team actually scan canceled his news conference. Excuse me. Now he will meet with the media virtually on Monday.

According to the Pats but it was a rough day for him during the game.

After the game if he was in pain, just barely over 200 yards, one touchdown, one Peggy took two pretty tough sacks including a blindside hit the one we talked about when she fumbled the ball in the Dolphins returned for a touchdown.

No Jones was walking around himself. After the game so weak he took himself to the x-ray room along with Pat security and was five minutes in their before he returned to the locker room but was after that that the patriots announced he would not be making any postgame comments just indicating he has a back injury that he did play the entire game but there's got to be some trepidation, they think about all the questions swirling around the patriots in the off-season. Specifically, the offense of sod the ball make a lot of moves arch still drawn to find a combination of tight ends and receivers that they really love. So we asked our NFL insider earlier in the show when he joined us from Chicago, Matt Burda RAM.

His reaction to the patriots and he said predictable. I suppose there are plenty of patriots fan to kinda feel like this was the proverbial shoe dropping on Twitter a lot radio. Are you overreacting or just plain reacting with week one Jamie. The question I really do is lie James on Twitter says that the AFC East division race is over. After week one. It's over nothing. The Jets Dolphins or does he mean the Dolphins may, I guess I'm in the job and they didn't look tremendous. But remember their starting fresh with a new coach, new system they still got a pretty convincing win. But anyway he says nothing. The Jets dolphins are patriots did suggest they can even beat the bills backups write out a call that an overreaction with week number one we deafly do not another overreaction. Maybe just a prediction about the future. The Cowboys will start the season ON six I came says how poorly the raters did. Now the raters dearly came back and why they did have to survive three territory interceptors against the Chargers with their blankets so by Stadium and that also same tweet how the Falcons choke the game away. It is in their nature. After all, I shouldn't be surprised by that. God says how much the patriots defense is completely nonexistent. So he's worried about the patriots defense where I actually thought it was a have bad I thought the concert should be for the offense he says talk about throwing the remote moments. It was tossed the cat off your lap moment the poor cat don't dig your frustration off out on your cat reactions overreaction. Sometimes it's hard to tell after week number one but definitely the bills looks like they were flexing their muscles as the reigning champions of the AFC East. I wouldn't say the division is over, but I would say they are the team to be and there's more. Even as we work our way into the final 90 minutes of the show where we have a lot of people waking up in her Eastern time zone or central time zone getting ready for a Monday. Is it crazy how football can affect our mood.

It definitely can.

Did you see the conditions for the Niners and bears in Chicago as some people suggest that this is why they have to have a stadium a new stadium and dome stadium, but a brand-new location is as bad as it was on the field where they were doing slip and slide on accident in a purpose in the stands.

There were floods, so will get to Niners, and bears. But before that, like the Packers are allergic to season openers now. I just want to remind you all that last year when they lost by 25 points in Jacksonville to to the saints member they had to move that game because of the weather conditions in New Orleans, they moved again. The Jacksonville and the Packers barely show up in my sweet Grammy. Helen told me this was her assessment. I don't think the Packers were trying very hard pretty much the same thing my Grammy said just she's much more diplomatic about these things. Well I don't know you might have the same assessment after the Packers season opener in Minnesota yesterday.

I mean it wasn't three points but it was a hell of a lot better will get to the NFC North straightahead so much good stuff and so much overreaction because we have such a small sample size to process you can find me on Twitter a lot radio also on her Facebook page, react, overreact, we provide therapy to get all with the greatest soul and really deep breath. You are listening to the after-hours podcast motion frenzy after-hours with baby Lords leaves just hear Ehrenreich talk about how he's been around the north. It really is a bit much of a contest, except I think that the Packers had developed a new allergy to season openers thing is going on because they worked here with Paul Allen on Vikings radio. This is the just and Jefferson show a record 158 yards receiving in the first half alone. By the time it dusted settled. It was nine catches, 184 yards and two scores against the Packers. Not to mention 126 yards rushing for Minnesota per pay formula for success. I said this for years.

Kirk is not a bad quarterback. In fact, I'd say he's serviceable.

He's above average. He's solid, but he need to run game the Vikings are so much more successful when there's a solid run game, and that's what Galvin Cook brings to the table. It gives Kirk cousins more freedom and more room to move more room to operate and hello if he can connect with Justin Jefferson were talking about one of the most lethal combos, whether or not you think her cousins anything to write home about, or anything to guarantee money to Justin. Jefferson is all of that and a bag of chips. I do like tips like chips.

It's after hours with a song for again nine catches, 184 yards and two touchdowns and the Packers had no answers for Kirk cousins favorite target specific trait that I think is specialness finish place memory, but will hang around the Titans with three 2020 and he's got two guys still there make the tackle he was by both scores trust among the superstitions career and made the point that I was a JJ why guys get tackle of the six were now running out a red zone plays (we could implement schedule just finished their don't leave the for debate is big time and I just said once again to Jeanette play today and a lot of guys walked three work or just the one satisfied you got it I got a six mess around with the goal on office River may be a set that's elite and it makes a difference for team winning football games were score touchstones not kicking field goals and source of just two more firm and one of the things makes it makes a great football player and scope of the ball and keeping it away from Aaron draw is half the battle. Generally, when you're playing the Packers but the Vikings shut out Green Bay in three quarters to get Kevin O'Connell his first win as an NFL head coach everything we do has been focused on not only today but 16 more weeks, and opportunities move forward as a first-time head coach talked to him last night and really try to give them as much clarity of what we were looking for today and watch them to the plan and bring it to fruition out on all sides. No more gratifying moment just because of the looks on their faces just because of the looks on our players and coaches for Susan. There's a lot of things I can for sure to go to that I was the first time first timeout. I do know one thing I love this team. All of this coaching staff because I do this with the lot of lopsided games in week number one bills Rams definitely was certainly the Chiefs and Cardinals one subtotal wash DOK the city scored touchdowns on its first three possessions of the of the first half in the second half, six possessions, six touchdowns to start the first and second half. It was that lopsided and I was told the chief organist stink that share and then this Vikings game.

Well, I was a ravens Jets. The Jets defense bought pretty hard. It is could generate a lot of offense Vikings Packers was a no doubter similar to the Packers season opener a year ago, so Matt Lafleur per the usual. He takes credit for the loss, we all need to hear from Aaron draw because they did only managed seven boys and there's been a lot of talk about the departure Devante Adams and a new court procedures. Keeping in mind Allen Lazar did not play in this game for players as expectation rivers in the world. We had a lot of chances to know not to get anywhere from a difference, but we hurt ourselves many times myself included lot opportunities or more in some 22 of 34 for Aaron Rod not even 200 yards passing. I knew it was a bad idea to draft him as my fantasy quarterback. Now that you care interception and for sacks I'm pretty sure he didn't even have five points in fantasy. It was bad. It was a really bad so really negated all of the amazing work that the Steelers defense did in building up a nice cash and points. So what can the Packers do differently from this point forward, but stopped when this league and differently talk to win when you get your own way too many times so we did some good things.

Maybe it's more touches for Jones and Dylan made a lot of mistakes in the perimeter.

Listen throws those Lotta love clean up all the way around.

He mentions more touches for Jonesy and Dylan well Aaron Jones, who was it 320 touchdowns 20 touchdowns. They gave him five carries and I don't get it. You want to possess the ball and keep it away from her cousin so he can forward to Justin Jefferson about running a little more what Matt Lafleur's wanted to do something got there is one the ball. Ajay Dylan had 10 carries and a touchdown, but not enough, they did get over 100 yards rushing, but he wasn't a focal point also got nothing.

Welcome to the NFL rookie Christian Kirk dropped what would've been a 75 yard pass on the opening drive. He's not can forget that when anytime soon sell back to the drawing board.

Vikings get that first win over the Packers Packers actually are back home in week two Sunday night football to take on the Chicago Bears. It's after hours with Amy here on CBS Niners were in Chicago on Sunday first game for Matt Heber flutes as the head coach of Chicago and it really was about D but with the first chapter you see it with the best of times the worst of times. The red zone in the first quarter but the next time that their deep depot thing on the 6 yard touchdown run to the right in the second quarter, but this completely change in the second half is almost nothing for Justin Field and the Bears offense in the first half, but in the third quarter very smart play that caught my eye and it was really about the maturity and the development of Justin Field he lose pressure to extend the play with his legs and he finds Dante Pettis so wide-open it was blown covered Niner within 15 yards of Dante Pettis and so Justin is able to spot him. He keeps his head up. He spot find them all across the field for what is a dynamic play. But you know what you should hear it away, circling out of the center row 25.

There 721 Jim Joni going Bears radio three straight touchdowns and 19 on entered voids in the last score comes afterwards Ray laid interception at midfield with 1910 Chicago and the Bears are able to take advantage of the sloppy conditions, sloppy play by the Niners and they rally Ray did take a pair of Bears defense of stop the pork order to preserve the win but just in field and he admits this was the tale of two halves. First was brutal. Second, they found the room you know were doing offense or defense of the good of a great job short foods but got the red zone for three points on one drive. So on the fingers from you know were backed up so your backup like you just can't use a hope for the rhythm and you know we they were able to do a slip and slide celebration late in the game and I guess if it's gotta be a monsoon at their own field, you might as well enjoy those conditions, those kind of fun to see the Bears celebrating it away. That was only possible on this Sunday trail and by the way, 13 of 2864 yards what interception he does have 54 yards rushing. It was a disaster.

It was a mess all around. It was hard to evaluate. You can see that there's going to be some growing pains there but I would think this had to be one of the most surprising losses of week one.

Probably not a lot of people out. A survivor pool it's after hours with a below CBS for
