We got a great show plan for that one great show plan for that I will be here will be six is not. Thanks.

Thank you for being here to remind me of all that was not my cutie and historic TJ Jefferson like the candles are good to see you over there TJ so does that mean cupcakes Kate champagne whiskey, vodka, which bring in, and I don't force you have the wrong part of the family sitting in this chair that's a rich member and family.

I am a man.

If you remember after first show. Susie came out with a bottle of champagne is getting a strong freight years basically.

So here… We need cupcake I sell selling it all out so that's Thursday about today.

Rich Patrick Mosley to call in middle of this football is that Wayne Johnson, a man who is protecting the front side of jail and hurts for you for an old on loan remaining undefeated team in the NFL Philadelphia Eagles is in the show in our number three and of those the players are G3 will be joining us. Top of our number two as he was in Sanford, San Francisco, Santa Clara last night for Monday night football and joining us about 18 minutes times. And now, PK will be joining us with all of his nuggets of news and information about week four and everything else going on in the National Football League, including apparently a hot seat in Indianapolis. Talk about a hot game coming up in today's time you got the two into Denver Broncos in the 1211 Indianapolis Colts followed up that big win over the Chiefs with a huge loss to the Tennessee Titans were now out of that owing to dungeon their doubt to into our proposed question deals with that and will get that at the moment, but I do want to start this program with what we saw last night and my take away is the San Francisco 49ers are who we think they are, which is a tenet went to the NFC championship game last year and can win this year's Super Bowl because it got a championship quality defense and they got an incredible game changer on offense if the quarterback was suddenly back in the position where we didn't think he would be in after they lost to the Rams immunity chapter game last year because he said farewell to the media say saying out loud. We all thought that Jimmy Gropper was history. If he plays like he did last night. No mistakes and pull the trigger and hit his back foot and find engine depot Samuel and Jeff Wilson is running the football and the defense is getting after it while that's that's that's how you put together a championship team this year and they have every shot to win this NFC even though there two games behind the Eagles. But if they can get after it and they can come up with points on defense and depot Samuel presents business decisions for you on offense and Carol wasn't even involved very much last night and are you escaping people's grills and their doing it. That's how the 49ers can win the Super Bowl this year. Yeah they can get Josh Allen's face. Yeah, they can go after jail and hurt stop the running game on the way to the quarterback.

Yeah, they can get Patrick Holmes off the spot and potentially prevent him from playing a little street ball if he's not standing back there and finding one of his nine receivers. Half of them we've never heard of them don't have on your fantasy team you know so that's what I'm seeing out of the 49ers and what I saw depot Sam ticket to the house last night, I thought of the nonstop conversation. We all had here on the show between the moment we heard he wanted out and being traded all the way up to the draft when I told her the Niners ain't doing it all the way through the summer when were wondering if you show up to training camp, all to the moment where he got to say appropriately. I thought of all of those days we were sitting here on the set, and we were taking phone calls and we were hearing people wondering if depot was gonna come back and him strolling through some club here in town right here in Los Angeles and somebody had assigned pilot and assign said you go back to San Francisco and shake, and that is where hearing how the big problem for the Niners to re-sign them is the fact that the Niners don't play football in South Carolina right here in all that I thought of all those days we had conversations that we were taken calls on this program and I thought to myself, this is exactly why I knew he had to get paid in the Niners were to pay that moment right there because depot not only can do that unlike anybody else in this game because he can also take toss is and run inside handoff Sonia just sweeps and things that nature. But he can do what he did last night with a house call 57 yards out on 1/3 down and not only can he do it but he does it consistently for the 49ers against the one team if they had a choose it on their dance card on their schedule menu every year say do it against that one and he does it against the Rams all the time even in the loss in the NFC championship game. He had 844 yarder for the 49ers in that game against the Rams that they wound up losing and he does it at a time when they need most in the game against the team if they need it most. Against in that game and the NFC champion game.

The Rams and just scored the first touchdown of seven. Nothing colonizers can respond. People just take it right around the line of scrimmage and run through everybody else 44 yards for the score.

Okay, last night last night. 76 ballgame Rams having trouble scoring in the red zone, they settle for three again, but it's a one-point game. Let's see what happens late second quarter. What happens next third and three midfield can the Rams get off the field and start maybe gaining some momentum. They just made it a one-point game can get the ball back book rollout 33. Darian Kendrick of the Rams season jumps throughout. Depot jumps higher graduate Tamarack makes a mistake can corral him and then the race is on a business decisions are all over the map and you see the 49ers receivers suddenly turn and they know what this is the moment. This is God depot moment they turn and start blocking. They get it. All of them kill start a block uke throws Jones out of the club for Susan Jones want to get thrown out of the club. I was even going to one of the club by Josh Allen. I don't think so somebody else but you get stone at a club right around the goal line and Jaelyn Ramsey has one last good shot to get him and all he can get his depot shoe, which is just like forget about that certain free looked when Jimmy G thought O could be one of those interceptions.

Touchdown depot Samuel fax why they paid him. That's why they paid and then this kid, Noel Funk okay God bless you. From USC and you know whenever anybody will play safety out of USC has long hair that blocks the nameplate you know where you are going.

Certainly, if his names are fungal you're going, and sure enough it was mentors. The kid and he's playing like oh my goodness as you jump around cities all over the place and it looks like he's just freelancing. That's what it looks like, but he knew he knew that if he jumped around last night what he thought was the route the jumps it near his house call and that's what wrapped it up last night because the Niners had just settled for three just missed a field goal in gold was trying to make this into possession game Rams get it back. Still a one possession game and then pick six. That's all she wrote. And you can't blame Stafford if he's kind offkilter last night because with that offense of line that was already with worthless right without Whitworth and banged up upfront and you know Nikos is coming at you and Fred Warner. I had to look it up.

There was only one of them must can cannot, God can that guy play football or walk. She is spectacular spectacular.

So I don't have the Rams fix that offense of line. How you get healthy and a better fix it fast because the cowboys are coming to town, to coming down with that lion upfront. Number 11 Lauren and and any tank they got there line in the tank. Parsons and Lawrence common that sounds.

That does sound like one of those cop shows you pitching this town in Los Angeles that is great you Parsons Lawrence are always speeding and so you know I'm I'm not concerned long run for the Rams. I don't know how you fix it up upfront. They didn't go through a month. Including the loss to the 49ers last year.

If you remember they lost in Odell Beckham's first game with the Rams in your one and well Dell's not really fixing anything that they could really use somebody like Odell back to stretch the fuel because I do not know why Alan Robinson is completely invisible. You know, so cop is working and I think the run game can work last night.

You know against that front seven and now this kid fungal on the backend 49ers which is the better team last night just kind of that simple and I'm not saying the Rams are not making the playoffs and there's no shot for them to win it all this year because last year, it did look pretty bad. A nice month-long stretcher nicest the wrong adjective but it was a good long for Mark 14 stretch for the opponents member Adrian Peterson was scoring against the ranch, the Titans coming into their house and either hit in the mouth by the physical teams and you thought that they couldn't do it in the I don't know if Odell can walk through the door they got to figure out Alan Robinson.

They can definitely turn around in the short we can beat the Cowboys at home. I think, but it will be a tough row to hoe.

I know you're making those noises that still the Los Angeles Rams and the Rams house and I know the Cowboys fans in a make it the cowboys as best they can't certainly fill two foes put in his tickets on his market thinks my homework and got them on Mike with Mike to work if that's my opinion about last night. I'm not throwing the Rams out with the bathwater. But I do see the 49ers showing you that they can hit the same year as they hit last year when they almost made the suitable they can hit that deer word that's the proverbial team you don't want to face which treatment a division would you throw out any obviously all or arcing to make the playoffs, so they're all to into right now.

I mean, it is at the low hanging fruit to see Seattle.

I mean, is it that low hanging fruit because you also have to understand that he knows attempting toward I get. I know that the Niners also to anoint division there to Windsor in division. They beat the Seattle Seahawks at home. I now they beat in the Rams at home. Okay the Rams are 212, but there one lost one of their losses is against the bills and one of their wins is at home against Arizona. Arizona is a matter fact, the more he got on the road and one a division game so that's a feather in there As well. Good news for Arizona is there two thirds of the way through the Andre Hopkin suspension and their 500 was my fencing team was right. That's the good news for Arizona bad news is they got the Philadelphia Eagles, Thomas would man I can't wait to Jaelyn versus Carter and amazing Connor faces Baker one week and then, he faces his predecessor and then next to face his successor doesn't happen much snow doesn't run game in Seattle now goes to New Orleans which I think so bad I know I if you sports talk radio put the you know what we do that to the test, I would throw Seattle out just because that's the low hanging fruit. The one that you least expect. But there 212 and you are what you are and what this division is all tied up into into and I'm here for, as the San Francisco 49ers now matriculate their way to go visit Baker Mayfield and that is the last team I face if my ass was on the hot seat as a coach, Baker Mayfield is standing back there after having nine passes batted down almost all of them by JJ Watt last week, here comes Nick Tosa and Fred Warner begging to go all who fungi in two seconds flat on Carolina 844204 Rich never did what you think Jerry Jones chiming in on Dr. Prescott's availability for this week. Mike Tomlin is speaking. I believe in moments with Kenny Pickett were expected to hear from him.

Kenny Pickett has again as the Steelers now wanted three at the Buffalo are also on the show somebody had the temerity to ask Nick Sabin if the backup should the backup play this week against Texas A&M's Bryce Young is the old AC joint sprain.

If there's a package already placed in for this backup if the backup plays all – so it's the trifecta of asking Nick Sabin about an injury about who might be playing if somebody is injured or not and then asking Nick Sabin about his preparedness hide the women and children for them at the coke bottle, what are other think that's they pay for that and never know about them.

844204 Rich is the number Odell Patrick is calling in Wayne Johnson of the Eagles Forno calling in.

Then we've got also on this program are G3 whom we adore you just makes you smarter and laugh and I just really love what's what he's turning into with ESPN is one of their top-notch analysts and no in game and at the game last night. But when we come back. Peter King will join us is Frank Reich on the hot seat in Indianapolis and so much more to talk about with PK when we come back. This episode is brought to you by TBS. It's October and that means the MLB postseason is back on TBS. You can watch the biggest and brightest in the American League take the field and battle it out respond in the World Series there will be crazy hits and clutch performances, jaw-dropping action from the division series on October 11 and of course you have to watch the crowning of the next American League Champion catch the best of the MLB postseason all that long on TBS 844204 Rich never doubt here on the recharge and show joining us here from NBC Sports and Pro football Hall of Fame or a friend of our program on the Mercedes-Benz ranch on my back. Your so much going on through four weeks.

As always in NFL season, joining a serious Peter King how are you serve about year-round. Great.

So Pickett is the starter in Pittsburgh for the Steelers. We assume, for as long as Pickett can hold onto the job and give him time to succeed or not. What is your estimation of what led to Tom's decision this past Sunday and now, on this Tuesday Peter will basically and you know I think Mike, look at it and he kept wanting to give you the benefit of the doubt.

But after 3 1/3 game I think he just sort of ran out of patent problem. I think in this particular case is that we all thought because he played pretty well in and because he came in and looked like the perfect you know God cricket team gets very low maintenance. Low ego hard-working guy everybody thought okay E guy but the same problem that he had in Chicago are surfacing now you know everything that ails you because you had one year with Brian Gable and Kate Dorsey and Josh Allen.

You know there's some endemic albums. Really, I think with which attributes key and unfortunately for him, I don't think he is going to get a chance to try to fix what Pickett plays well but ourselves. They don't sell insurance for this kind of know a thing. That's a Dillard's and cornerbacks and scenes and cornerbacks. That's what he would say to you that about 100 things in the NFL over the years. Well I don't sell insurance but I kind of felt, but remember he did play a couple of times about quarterback situation so you know to be rich.

What kind of patents and interdicting London job, but when it in a slamdunk fashion worthy of having Ater and game at the trial. No you didn't get the other guy show a lot of promise pretty logical than this.

First up is in Buffalo and the bills you know are three and one having 13 very having one free very to games and although the one at home against Tennessee. You know they they boat race them, but you know Tennessee is certainly proven over the last couple of weeks to turn things around and the bills are ready to rock. I would think in front of their home folks after two trying games one with the wind and one with a loss. What is your sense of what happened in Baltimore with the ravens and the aftermath of Harbaugh's decision to go forward rather than kick three conventionally in that game, I Harbaugh getting that shot Rick at the request you wanted me on the ball back to you want to hand the ball back to Josh Allen with four minutes to go in three timeouts for Buffalo and the ball back to Alan and that he essentially okay you got me 50 yard and and you've been on this team so all you have to do is make 50 yard the tying field goal and four minutes in three timeouts below 75 yards to win the game which I mean I would not have liked the if I were to five word John Hartwell and think of this date, you're giving the ball to you for the bill. Whatever would be the 2 yard line. If you don't make it a lot Mark Jackson was a duck into the end zone that they get it that the 20 and I'm not really criticizing the you gotta take a shot K but I always believed that when you throw a ball into the end zone and official picture like that it shouldn't be anywhere close to a 50-50 ball because of the intersection is just incompetent. You should throw it toward either the sideline or you know the court the end zone to make sure that if your guy or you know it doesn't get completed because he did have a couple guys open on the play and you know I I just think in Marcus peters lost his mind as well.

He was very upset about. I just think it's tough in this day and age. Despite, you know, having the knowledge and the got also along with the no knowledge of of analytics to explain your team will there is a six better percent better chance of winning, you know, if we went for what he said.

It may feel goal in the bottom Josh Allen for minute three timeouts left and Josh Allen goes down and scored a touchdown in the bills. You don't think there would've been grumbling in that locker room. I know it will be due. Why are we giving you know the top quarterback running received it. I don't know Rachel, this is one of those things that I in my opinion, look I see it one way, I'm sure a lot of people see it another way, I'm shocked that people think that I just don't think you want America. Peter King, an excellent center puking podcast right here on the Rich Eisen show is the seed hot for Frank Reich. Two days from now. Is this a must win game against the Broncos.

I don't think I don't think I need ego. There's no question the owner is that tempestuous guy mean he's not blowing up 15 on October. I can't see I know I you know Jimmy or they could do anything and I'm not suggesting that he might do so I don't think you going to do anything.

All I know being low to win wanting the division through your division schedule got to just be burning Jimmy everything, but I would be again. And I don't think would be smart to try to do anything that will Frank Reich's fault that the absolute total strength of this team is the offense of line in the offense of playing lousy, and that is most important defensive player vehicle.

I don't think it Frank Reich's fault that that check Leonard has basically been a nonfactor in the first quarter this evening. That might be out even longer, though I'm not absolving anybody of blame. I'm just saying, look, look at this thing logically figure out why they're not playing well. I think one thing that you can really put on right but on Matt Ryan at the fact that Matt Ryan has not gotten them out of many hold part of this year and that is to be certain it can have to change it again.

I quarterback for eight years and I can think of a logical reason why they make every that they may still five quarterbacks in five years is pretty hard to overcome here on the Rich Eisen show was Howie Roseman wrapped up executive of the year for the foremost on my not sprinting but pretty much every button he's pushed me and Ajay Brown on draft day, my gosh, to give him to jail and hurts and say make something of it and then to hit the defense the way that he did in the signings that he did you know flipping Jaelyn Rager right before the season the way that he did mean air every button.

The skies push from Sirianni to couple years ago my gosh and they have since draft choice as well in the later of the game were Jake Bradberry made a diving interception when it was six point game late in the third quarter that basically was the biggest play of the second half. In the fourth quarter and finally two turnovers on strict. The agent we got me those are both free agent and Howie Roseman took advantage of the giant weakness in blowing the salary cap and a gentleman was there and so they get basically aims Bradberry at top 50 minute film corner for $7 million for one year was a great look.

You know how he broke them and will you that it was Doug Peterson really wanted Jaelyn heard of because they had any problems with the injured at the quarterback position back in 2020 and just remember to half years ago in Philadelphia Doug Peterson Howie Roseman capillary veil on that person went to the quarterback at, though they were drafting. Jaelyn heard as a great backup quarterback and a weapon to be used for all that and it was Carson went to person went blowing up a great situation by playing his attitude in 2020. So that's why Jaelyn heard really got drafted God and made the most of it I think what's amazing to me is we are in October in the first yield posts even of milk out starter Jaelyn or any lien, the failing yards per attempt, which despite all the angles That people come up with that deal of great measuring stick barometer type number quarterback and Jaelyn heard 9.1 yards per attempt being proud to be a marina supported to buy me my cost to complement it to maybe sometimes dominate right I mean you play action and then you got Ajay Browning at the ponte Smith… Or just to name three targets yet to be open with subject ability like that's the way to work it.

That's it.

When I look at the Eagles right now. When I walked out. It only the other day that you can on a day when it's raining sideways 25 mile an hour wind really cold absolutely miserable day audible never going to play football and you go out to play that way play a different way and you played the first three games. What I thought was cool.

Sometimes after a game the story kinda writes itself, but after the game I met with Jaelyn heard. I thought the play the game.

14. Nothing in jail and hurts run for it on fourth and three at fourth goal from the 3 1/2 at the colossal Goldline collision with Devon like the Jaguars cord and now they're back in the game and I thought they were going to kick a field goal they been playing terrible on the first 20 minutes to get the points on the board but. He chose to go for it anyway. They scored a touchdown guideline and periodic speaks about me you know I went for it. I went forward because I and you know when your coaches sunlight daily heard guilty, his father and when your coaches you grew up in Texas. You know what it means to you when your coach said I trust you with everything that makes periodic fields right now about this guy and like I think you're in pretty good condition year on the rich doesn't show last one for you Peter. I have not gotten an answer to this question involving two it's on the Lilo and the concussion protocol in the investigation and the firing of the independent neurologist and who did it and why I I I need an answer to this question and maybe you can help. Why, if the investigation into why two was allowed to return to the game in week 33 against the bills. If that investigation was still open for the Thursday night football week for opener. How was to allowed to return date they allowed him to play. He was allowed to get on the field. The players Association didn't didn't keep him from the field. The league didn't keep her from the field, even though they did you know Dr. Alan still said he was clearer and and and and checked every single day leading up to that game if they had yet to speak to the independent neurologist to allowed to a back on the field on Sunday. How is he allowed into the game at all. Shouldn't he be kept off the field. Anybody who's returned to play is under investigation should not play or be sat like he is in the concussion protocol until the investigation is complete. I need an answer to the question, probably, probably, but remember, remember, he was allowed back in bed with my back and the now we need to find out whether it be independent neurologist after he packed his halftime whether they bought that they did by because after the game you know of the head coach of the Dolphins. Mike McDaniel talk about the back injury, and I have to go back and get his quote exactly but me after the game say he was cleared and so did Sue and so anybody you know in a position like mine that comes on in those lower back injury honk like you're now accusing the others of lying and it is possibly a just a back injury and he wound up in the game popular on on Thursday, but Peter if if the players Association finds the independent neurologist so hostile or not understanding his role as was reported to the point where they they exercise their right to fire him and two is allowed to play the night before and we saw that fencing response on the field. How does it happen right I mean should meet Monday and everybody bought what the doctor Is able to go back with either one of those doctors could have prevented that from happening.

They didn't prevented and after the game. They said that it would not concussion. I don't know what they said but they clearly said it was not a concussion because of the one the concussion he would not have gone back in the game any part of the week and concussion protocol and identity. I will like my question though is that scenario's, you know what wasn't fishy. Then there what they wouldn't of been an investigation opened. So what I'm saying is that if you're if you're concerned about his return to play on a Sunday was not up to snuff, and that might've missed something, then why do you allow him to play before you speak to the person in the investigation to see if it was up to snuff or not. On that Sunday, despite the clear tests between Monday and Wednesday he hadn't spoken to the doctor yet and then you doing yet he's fired in them the night before you speak to the doctor was damn near overnight hospitalized in all countries horrified. I tried to say that if if there's enough question to spark an investigation and that players out until the investigation is complete.

Understory and that should be.

I don't think that bad idea at all.

I think I agree with it but I also think I also think that that as Mike McDaniel said and again, the, the, the diagnosis of the injury may in fact be really all wrong and airing on the side of football not erring on the side of the player, but if you have people telling you three days in a row that this guy is clear he can play then obviously the coaches get to play the guy and now, in retrospect, I think the most logical thing to do. One you have, you know once you are shown to be a shaking time with a low one and you have people all over the stadium on the sideline and up in the press box being able to analyze replays and being able to look at a guy getting his head hard on the tour. My whole problem with this is once the gross motor instability was shown that when he should have been out of the game for good and and that is what should've made the decision not the fact that maybe he was smart enough to pass the test that halftime though.

There's a lot wrong with but I do think that I think it's good to get better. But I also think that around the country and I had about 60 of them wrote to me this week. Many of those that my kid will never play football in it!

On it. That is what is is being lofted away in the fact that the NFL is going start a huge number of the candidate players down the road because really good athlete.

He kept out of football if parents don't want their brains to be scrambled. Thank you for the time and thoughts and information and terrific conversation. As always, be the man appreciate the time they think slightly Greatly like… Peter__King on twitter, let's take a break when we come back your Mike Tomlin has spoken and he tells us why he's going with Kenny Pickett that's next.

Interesting you know when you're due Monday night football you get on lists for PR O for routine PR so I'm on the list for the Giants now because the Giants were a Monday night game last week. It's the Cowboys. So for a few weeks now I've been receiving emails from a member of the giant staff and the guys name is Jacob LaMotta always take probably assess incredible and I just keep thinking of raging bull every single time I got home.

Well, that's where it goes, but Jacob sidling a shout out anybody but just return just got an email so even if I even if you email, you win. Even if you look at his email. I raging bull at no email reaching 12 member of the giant staff sending out emails that I haven't been getting emails from Jacob LaMotta again getting email from the RAM staff of Eugene Tony mean is that with the what's next Joseph Lewis.

Okay that's member the job line stuff. The body should work with Sugar Ray Robinson. I think in this because those two are one of the best Scorsese movies. Understory amazing.

All right, let's get to it.

Mike Tomlin and speak to the media only once during the week it's Tuesday and today is Tuesday and on Sunday he benched a starter in the middle of the game Kenny Pickett throughout their Kenny got picketed written it off and he also but he made some nice throws to Vanguard in the end zone itself), so Mike Tomlin that all years on whether he was given name, pick up the starter moving forward today and he named in the starter against the bills and did just that to the quarterback position.

We made a change in game activity will start this week and I just want to talk about that for a moment, we made the change. Obviously, Mitch's performance was a component of the decision, but not the only component of the decision. I just want to be really clear there. Often times the quarterback position gets too much credit too much blame. We haven't moved the ball fluently enough to our liking.

We had put enough points on the board. The quarterback is a component of that but not the only component we all got absorbed the responsibility that comes with what we are what we haven't done particular net phase include myself and start with myself and so on and make a quarterback change is really sensitive to that component of it because I don't want to dump the responsibility of what transpired. It admits his feet. That's not fair to him. He's played better than that description but we have a zone an effort to be better in an effort to score more points in an effort to move the ball more fluidly, we decided to go to Kenny and in the hopes that he will provide a spark for us to go like it if I can interpret that I can interpret that what I take from all of that is. He knows too brisk you might have to get back out there. If Pickett gets hurt in short order and I don't all Pickett would really have to struggle. He would have to be completely lost. Looking and I don't think he's gonna look like. I think the kid has in it factor and the kids played in a lot of big games to me was in Pittsburgh collegiate lady and I just I don't think they have a concern that he is going to look Lawson's good again think they have to go back to trip us to just to save the season so on and so forth. I just think to use the phrase that Steve Young used last week in regards to Jimmy Kuralt below now getting the starter's gag after everything that happened between the end of last year. The moment Trey Lance got carted off that he use the phrase a risotto broken glass on the floor and that there is broken glass on the floor. You heard how to brisk.

He took the benching when he was interviewed at his locker after the loss to the Jets and he looked like to use a Tomlin phrase, a hostage not a volunteer and he knows he's got a hostage right now as a backup and he might need him as a volunteer lickety-split. Certainly in this part of the season part of the NFL campaign where I would profit to say anybody who looks concussed in there there to be set up as a sensitivity year so I think that's what he saying it's not you, Mitch.

It's us very poor part of us right in the office is not been as good as we can be. So the one individual that I could change to make the office better, faster, is your position that you it's not you, it's us use a Seinfeld analogy, that's my interpretation of it are G3 and Patrick Holmes and you and our two background, you know that's the way I took it but trip risky wasn't there couple throws it. Pickett made including one friar moved to put them inside the five against the Jets. He stood in there and he took a look from Quinton Williams, who by the way is ball it out for my Jets that is a top-five picked that is panning out for New York and he took a lick and delivered it over the middle and farm with took it inside the five and that's the stuff they don't think they saw from trip risky a lot and Pickett standing in the air and taken his licks and I think that's the sort of stuff that's got a show on film this week that's going to get the office to use his phrase Thomas phrase. I think the office is getting it all fired up about that. You seem to have a pushes the ball downfield. George Pickens had his best game that I got in my getting organists. The that's and that's the Pickens needed to really Seymour Pickens and Austin in the office the week but that's Tomlin's way of just saying it's not usually like you actually actually performed better trip risky than the than the narrative.

Fortunately, though, if he was performing better than the narrative them. Winds have to be replaced. No wider than Santiago pack a thing if he was finally leaving the island and ordering so you have to understand here what's at play and what supply is you want to get a spark on the offense.

You will just change left tackle or the receipt for the front and back reports the QB button.
