Welcome to the athletic football show.

I'm Robert Mays.

Join to me today.

It's my good friend Nate Tyson.

How you doing, buddy?

I'm doing very well. It's funny looking at you like you're in a middle of the Blair Witch Project. And you're about to say, I think you're looking at the camera with a little like little snock coming down your nose or something like that. That's what it feels like when I'm looking at you. But doing well, Thanksgiving, one of my favorite holidays., actually my favorite time of the year, especially now that I don't have to deal with Midwest weather. Love the holiday season because I don't have to deal with any snow, but really, really enjoying this and excited for a good day of football on Thursday and on Sunday. I'm recording this from a spare room in my fiance's parents' house down here in Miami, which is where I spend every Thanksgiving. So that's why we're not doing this on YouTube because I'm in a dimly lit room without any sort of professional setup. You look fucking great. But unfortunately, I'm not doing so well over here. Thanksgiving time. Always an exciting time coming a little bit early to you with this show. Thank you for sticking with our weird schedule. If you have not listened to the Thanksgiving preview of those games with Mike Sando and Randy Mueller, I highly encourage you to do that. Prospects to Prospects to Prospects with Dane and Andy is also out. So you can spend some of your Thanksgiving morning if you're cooking or just hanging out listening to those shows. you haven't if you have a day off and you've got some time on your hands definitely encourage you to do that we are going to dig into our week 12 preview today

a lot of stuff to talk about we can chat about the Rams defense playing against the

chiefs a little bit later we haven't really talking about the Rams defense at all so we're to talk about that. We're going to do some under the hood work on the Ravens defense, which is playing very well and has been a pretty cool unit. They're doing a lot of stuff that I think is worth examining. Talk about the Bengals offense going against the Titans defense little rematch from the playoffs last season. But we are going to start with the news of the day.

And that is the New York Jets, benching Zach Wilson in favor of Mike White.

It's only been a couple days since we did our week 11 recap.

We went in pretty hard on Zach Wilson, I feel like.

You did.

At the time, it might have felt a little bit mean.

Now in retrospect, doesn't seem like we were overreacting.

Even as we were expressing our skepticism about Zach Wilson as the Jets quarterback, in my mind, that meant,

I don't really don't know if they can just roll him out there again next year if this continues. Like you probably have to figure out some sort of contingency for 2023. I did not

anticipate a decision like this coming this quickly. But it feels like a lot of different factors
