0:00.0	Welcome to the Peter King Podcast presented by Salesforce. I'm Peter King. I'm
0:16.9	going to be joined by Miles Simmons, my friend from NBC Sports, and this is going to be an NFL at mid-season podcast.
0:27.0	As you listen to this and prepare for week nine in the National Football League, you will be at the point where you will
0:36.8	see game number 136 in the regular season. That will be exactly halfway through the
0:44.6	two hundred and seventy two game NFL season and so Miles and I are going to go through the first half of the season and look forward to the second half of the season.
0:58.0	In the middle of our podcast, we'll be joined by Jeff Perlman. He's the author of the last folk hero, the life and myth of Bo Jackson.
1:09.2	So welcome to this week's Pod Miles. I'm going to ask you a very open-ended question on the
1:18.1	Peter King podcast presented by Salesforce. Give me one takeaway from week eight that really sort of slapped you in the face.
1:29.6	You give me yours, I'll give you mine, and then we're going to get into a little bit of projecting the

1:59.7	Freddie Piero however 48 yards is a makeable kick in the 2022 NFL, right?
2:06.9	I think at a certain point you expect your kicker to hit from 48.
2:10.8	He's got to do it.
2:11.8	And certainly if you're kicking from 32 and overtime you got to hit that kick man
2:16.4	There's it's unacceptable to not hit the kick so it's Steve Wilkes said on Monday that they're not going to bring in any other
2:22.8	kickers so good for him for keeping his job I guess but man I know the DJ
2:29.0	Moore shouldn't have taken off the helmet but kicker pick up your teammate man kickers got to make their
2:33.6	kicks. You know the amazing thing about that particular instance is if Eddie Padero makes that kick whatever the distance is if he
2:49.3	makes the extra point or even if he makes the short field goal in overtime.
2:56.0	The Carolina Panthers today are alone in first place in the NFC South.
