Summary

Simms & Paul Burmeister recap a chaotic and eventful Week 2 that saw a pair of Super Bowl winning QBs go down, a Hall of Famer struggle with a new system, and an offensive mastermind crack the code. (3:30) Big Ben is done for the year; are the Steelers done as well? (7:05) Drew Brees is out for a couple months; Simms thinks the answer at QB is on the roster, and his name isn't Teddy Bridgewater (11:50) Give Me The Headline, Part 1: the Bears are holding Mitchell Trubisky back, and why Dak is already an MVP candidate (21:00) "Damn! Okay": Kyle Shanahan found the Konami code for the Bengals defense, Josh Allen is just like Christopher Walken, and props to a group of Chiefs not named Patrick Mahomes (33:45) Vikings-Packers Film Deep Dive: analyzing the Rodgers-LaFleur sideline spat, how the Packers offense will eventually break through, and some very troubling signs from Kirk Cousins (51:40) Give Me The Headline, Part 2: the Dolphins are a college team, Lamar has us asking for LaMORE, the Jaguars play-calling is a disaster, and Jacoby Brissett comes through in the clutch (1:04:30) Eagles-Falcons Film Deep Dive: Jim Schwartz gets way too aggressive (again), Carson Wentz gets way too aggressive, and a fading star RB might be done (1:20:00) "I Checked The Rule Book" ... and tight ends aren't franchise left tackles

If you want me to self-scout, okay, my quarterback rankings, I messed up with Brady.

0:10.3

I'll tell you that right now.

0:11.5

I mean, I had him nine.

0:12.5

I was wrong.

0:13.2

I'm about telling him now.

0:14.1

He's definitely, he'd have been five or six.

0:16.6

I was wrong on that one for sure.

0:18.4

Just amazing what Brady's doing.

0:20.9

Yeah. Well, if you're wondering why Ryan is there in the middle of the start of this podcast,

0:25.8

it's because the Iowa education did not come through as usual.

0:31.7

Texas over, or over, beats Iowa once again.

0:37.1

Obviously, yes.

0:38.1

We can't speak in Texas, okay?

0:40.0

Yeah. You can't turn on a microphone. I know. It was a problem a couple minutes ago. Did you hear what I just said? Did you hear the words that were coming out of my mouth? You admitted a mistake about ranking Tom Brady. I did, yes. I did. And again, in the day and age of nobody's ever wrong ever,

0:55.3

and we're going to go down dying with our thought.

0:58.1

I've always made that a point on even my prior podcast with that other company I worked at to self-scout thyself.

1:05.8

And yes, I was wrong to have Cam Newton, Ben Rosalesberger, Matt Ryan in front of Tom Brady. I was wrong. Now, saying that, okay, just so we know, a lot of people would look really good in that New England offense. So don't start coming to me like, maybe he should have been one or two? No. You said five or six. Yeah, or four, I mean, four, five, six, anywhere in that range. But certainly nine I was wrong with. Okay, I'm admitting that. I was wrong. He looked awesome yesterday. We'll get to that in a minute. These things happen in May when you rank quarterbacks. Like, you really think about it. You probably overthought it. Yeah, well, right. Well, and again, you know, let's be serious. The end of the year was not like Brady was on fire and the

1:45.0

offense was just kicking butt. So, yeah, okay, I was wrong. That's all there is to it. Let's move on. It's a nice way to start. Okay, good. I mean, yeah. You mean, shitting on myself. Yeah. Yes. In criticizing my university. Yeah, good. Oh, yeah, I know. I had to do that. It's five in a row over Iowa State, by the way. As long as you brought it up. Okay, good. Good job. Way to go. I'm happy for you. I had a lot to do with it. Yeah, I know you did. Right. Either way, Paul Bermyster's here. We got a good one. It's our Monday recap show. Please rate, review the podcast. Tell me how awesome we are, how stupid we are, and or leave a question. And like I have said, we will get to it,

2:19.7

because we are going to have an Ask Me anything type of podcast here soon. All right? We're going to deep dive into two football games, the Packers Vikings, and then last night's Sunday Night Thriller, which was a lot of fun, Eagles Falcons. I mean, the last few minutes were amazing.

2:34.6

So many things to talk about there.

2:36.4

And then we got, damn, okay.

2:38.6

That got that coming up.
