Touchdown! Today's guests, host of the Rich Eisen Show, Rich Eisen. Plus, your phone calls, overreaction Monday, and more.

And now, sitting in for Rich, it's Andrew Siciliano. Oh, there will be overreaction today, I promise you. Matter of fact, we might dedicate an entire segment to overreacting for what we saw yesterday, like the Niners are the best team in football.

I don't think that's an overreaction at all. I think the Eagles are good. I don't think they're as good as the Niners. How about the Patriots are the worst team in football?

I don't think that's an overreaction either. As a matter of fact, I think we should start asking the question, is Bill Belichick going to make it through the season? I do think we should ask that. Do I think Robert Kraft would fire him? No, I don't think so. But we got to have some very difficult conversations, don't we?

When the worst two losses in his head coaching career, coming consecutive weeks here, in the middle of 2023, as he is still 18 wins away from Don Shula, and those 18 wins feel like they might take four years to get. That team is awful. I'm not trying to be mean.

They're just bad. I know it. TJ knows it. Del Tufo knows it.

And I know Chris Brockman knows it as well. Hi guys. Happy Monday.

Hey, thanks for, that's a great start. Now I'm depressed. I'm not depressed because when the season started, Rich is listening right now. He can hear us. I said this would be Bill's last year in New England on our overreaction Monday preview podcast.

I firmly believe that. Two years ago I said he was on the hot seat. I got laughed at. And before the season started, last year in New England, laughed at. Who's laughing now, Rich Eisen? Welcome to the show. I'm not laughing.

I am not laughing. As you know, I have too many New England fans in my world, in my house, so I am not sitting here and gloating or feeling anything other than concern for those New Englanders in my world. I think you're nuts. When you say it might not last the season, Andrew, what do you mean? You think he'll just quit? Like his tenure in New England must be like, I'm out?

No, that was overreaction. What I think might happen, it would not stun me if there has long been talk of a succession plan with Jerrod Mayo behind him. I was there in March at the league meeting in Arizona when Robert Kraft gave his offseason state of the franchise briefing to the assembled masses. And when pressed about Bill staying on to get to Don Chula, he went out of his way multiple times to say, we're not about individual records.

We never have been. It's about making the playoffs. There were some who speculated maybe there might have been a Mayo coach-in-waiting announcement made, then it wasn't. It would not surprise me if things continue to go downhill. Maybe they become sellers at the trade deadline. You never know. If it gets to that point mid-season where you talk that this may be it. But no, I don't think Robert Kraft would ever fire him mid-season. That may be an internal conversation at some point. But right now, it is unprecedentedly bad. It is something that I haven't seen since Dick McPherson.

You've got to go back to those days before Parcells came. But maybe we'll hit that a little bit later on. The thing I want to hit to start this thing off is, TJ, are you off? All right. Okay, that's good. That's good. I'm glad I'm seeing you on camera. It's good to see you. Wanted to check in.

Like the proverbial welfare check on Shambly. To quote Rodney Dangerfield, I'll tell you more right now, but last week I was in rough shape. That was last week, so Sundays last week. This is a whole new week.

Let me just say this to you. When it comes to last night's game in San Francisco, the measuring stick, that's what the Cowboys were having. That measuring stick game against the San Francisco 49ers. The San Francisco 49ers grabbed the measuring stick, hit the Dallas Cowboys over the head with it, and beat them with it repeatedly. Over and over again.

In the head and neck area. That is exactly what happened. And I hate to say this, but it is my, I guess, prerogative zooming in from London on this program. It's your show, dude. But it has nothing to do with the Cowboys when I say this.

Oh boy, here he goes. But I hate to say, I told you so, about Brock Purdy. I told you.

I told you. I'm not the only one. I'm not saying I was the only one, but I was one of the few. When the Dallas Cowboys were riding high, taking out Jets and Joneses and everybody else. When the New York Giants got whipped by the San Francisco 49ers that Thursday night to open week three, I sat in the chair. And I started the program saying, why not Brock Purdy for most valuable player in this league?

And last night we saw it again. And I'm sure everyone will sit here and go, well, he's got a great tight end. He scored three times. Well, I mean, he's got Christian McCaffrey week before, scored four times. Well, he's got a great defense that turned it over, over and over and over again. The guy in the stadium who was there, who if Purdy was not playing this way, you would have seen more shots of this guy. Then Taylor Swift on Sunday Night Football last week, if Purdy was playing like Dak or even worse, not saying that Dak is bad. I'm saying Dak had a bad night. If Purdy was playing like that and had been playing like that all season long, the camera would have been zoomed right in on Trey Lance all night long.

But it wasn't because this guy is playing lights out week in, week out, seeing the Cowboys defense, seeing Wink Martindale lighten him up with the Giants defense, seeing everybody trying to take him out. And he is as cool as a cucumber and he is accurate. He is deadly.

He is through five weeks. And I know you guys spoke about this earlier on in the program because I'm highly attuned to at Rich Eisen's show X-Feed. Sorry, Chris.

Rich, it's Twitter. Come on, man. I understand. Brock Purdy is the most valuable player in this league through five weeks time, and he is only, I'm assuming, going to get better. Let's see next week. Next week. Hey, Andrew. Coming up on Sunday. OK, Miles Garrett.

Oh, well, I don't know. I know for some reason that DeSean wasn't at practice today to start. But there's still that grim reaper in Cleveland that would love to add Brock Purdy's name to that Halloween get up that I'm sure he's getting ready for his front lawn. He'd love to put Brock Purdy's name on a headstone in his front lawn in suburban Cleveland, Ohio, because Miles Garrett does that to everybody. And he's going to be coming for Purdy.

Let's see what happens here. I don't want to hear how good this team is. In an excuse to not give Brock Purdy what everyone would be given. Burrow and Mahomes and Allen and Hertz, if they were playing like Brock Purdy's been playing.

That's my takeaway. And the Dallas takeaway is T.J., I still believe your team. Hold on a second. I still believe your team is a playoff team. They're a playoff team. And I know, Chris, I'm sniffing an overreaction Monday subject that the Cowboys are not going to make the playoffs. I'm smelling it.

I don't know if you have it for either our segment coming up for the podcast that I'll be doing from this hotel room with you later on overreaction Monday pod is going to go down. It's a lovely room. It looks like a lovely room. It's finally appointed. Just like the San Francisco 49ers. Listen, T.J., I am not concerned about your team making the playoffs. I'm concerned about them going deep in the playoffs.

We just saw the measuring stick. I'm willing to give you Arizona as the clunker because Trayvon Diggs had just gone down. Your team may have been shocked, awed, whatever. Three offensive linemen not starting.

Got it. Understand last night, though, you had to go into San Francisco and make a game of it and maybe come out with that win. Instead, just an absolute curb stomping that Dak says was the most humbling game he's ever been a part of. So you're saying that Niners were Jeffrey D. Morgan's Negan in The Walking Dead.

And he took his bat Lucille and brain Glennon Abraham, who were the Cowboys. And just yes, if you want to go with a zombie analogy, what language are you speaking? It was it was a very it was a very Walking Dead type performance for sure. You know, and I stayed up to watch a little bit of it. I got a gist and went to sleep. I think I got a sense.

I got a sense. It was also two in the morning here, you know, after calling Jags bills and I watched every down. I was all over, you know, red zone. I was all over everything else that was going on yesterday. I was all over the game pass.

Pardon me. The game pass. International game pass, which works. International game pass, everybody. I was all over that, sir. And I was watching all the games best I can. And I stayed up for that game. Got the gist.

And then done with it with the bed. I wish I wish I would have done the same. I will.

I will tell you this, though. I still think you're a wild card team. I still think that you might be that five or six seed that can make some hay against the NFC South winner. I'd love to see Dallas and Detroit have at it.

Oh, my goodness. Would that be something else in Detroit? Because, you know, I want to get to the Lions in a hot second here. But to me, Dallas is still a playoff team. But the 49ers, that's why I've had them atop the power rankings list. That's why I believe, you know, they are the best team in the NFC. Can't wait for that week 13 game against Philadelphia. There's lots to go between now and then. But that was a complete ass kicking on Sunday Night Football.

And and Brock Purdie is the MVP through five weeks. Totally with you and all that. I want you to know, Rich, that when TJ walked in this morning, about an hour and 20 before the show, we're all sitting here at the desk having coffee, catching up over the weekend. TJ walked in and I offered what I meant. It truly was a heartfelt like, hey, man, sorry.

Yeah, right. And he immediately kind of bowed up. It was like, wow. Hitting me with that right when I walk in the door, like I haven't even sat down and I'm like, wait, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Like, I mean it like we've all been there. You guys are saying I wasn't in there like I'm sorry to say that. But he he was ready to fight because because of how you opened this hour. He just thought he just was right.

That is not true. You know, I always treat guests with a lot of respect. So, you know, I know that I would never you know, I those are the words that I said, but not the canes upon which they were said, OK? It was more understood, understood the bet. Look, but I got I got tons of texts on the opening Monday night of the season, you know, as if a family member had just perished when Aaron Rodgers went down, you know, so I understand yesterday.

All right. Let's talk about the Jets yesterday, because I did. That's what definitely kept me up. And I thought to myself when Zach threw that interception with a couple of minutes to go to give the ball to Denver for one last meeting, only half the field for a game tying field goal, I thought to myself, did I stay up till one in the morning just for this? I lost sleep. Literally what I thought to myself. I'm like sitting here in my hotel room in my finely appointed hotel room. And by the way, this this artwork that's on the wall, if you zoomed with Kurt Warner and everyone else saying it's the same, they must have like 90 of these in every room, every room, every room taken right from the Tate Modern. Yeah, honestly.

So at any rate, that said, I'm sitting here in this room one in the morning. I'm thinking to myself, did I really stay up till one in the morning just to watch this ax in the chest? Is that really what's happening? And then the Jets defense that that had completely bowed up throughout much of that second half came up with that final turnover. By the way, on the drive over to the Tower Bridge to do the NFL total access hit that I did with Kurt Warner today, I asked him, what did Sean Payton say to Russell Wilson as Russell had come off the field after that fumble return for a touchdown that came because he was trying to make a play late. And he said that Sean Payton said to him that he was hot. Not not that Sean Payton was hot, but that the hot receiver is exactly what Russell should have thrown. It was the running back.

Yeah, correct. That the linebacker, I believe it was Quincy Williams. What we're seeing here is Jermaine Johnson on the screen was another giveaway by Russ. But it was it was Quincy Williams coming in and it was his running back that Quincy had left to go rush that Russ should have hit. That's what Sean Payton was telling him.

And, you know, what we're seeing out of Russ, unfortunately, is just a lot of running and and not much else. And it's truly amazing how the first five games under Sean Payton has not been an improvement at all from the Nathaniel Hackett era, in quotes. And that's what was kind of great for me to see is I wanted to see another week of Zach having the light on. Now, the light was completely off at the end of the first half when he lost track of time. And clearly, these are mistakes that against better opponents will come home to roost and cause the Jets to lose a game. That said, it didn't on this day because the defense got it done. And then Zach made some nice throws in this game, albeit one was picked, but he made some nice throws, some over the middle, some on play action.

I saw more from Zach and then obviously Breece Hall getting it done and showing up like he did in. He's true. I mean, he's amazing. He takes he takes long strides. I mean, he is big.

He runs hard and he takes these long strides that wind up giving him a burst and whatever. You know, he was caught from behind against the Bills and he was caught from behind a couple of weeks ago as well. Not anymore. That guy's gone.

Yeah, he's out the gate. And this is a huge development because it was on that stadium's turf that he blew out his knee last year. So I feel, you know, I can't believe that it feels like the Jets won two in a row. But again, their record right now, this season is 2201 with that last one being a moral victory against the Chiefs. I'm still looking in the standings to see that fourth column, but I don't see it. And they get the Eagles this week.

That's right. And so this to me before a bye week like going home and, you know, I stop in the brotherly shove and figuring out how to beat the Eagles will be a very tall order. But that said, on this day, struggling to get the ball in the end zone, struggling to actually get points before the half, struggling against the Broncos team that clearly is struggling in its own right.

I started feeling very poorly. And then the third quarter was stupendous. And then Bryce Hall, Bryce Hall got it done. And then Bryce Hall returned the fumble recovery for a touchdown. And then I decided to go to sleep and I'm like, let me check out what's going on with the Niners and Cowboys. And then 10 minutes later, I went to sleep and put you to sleep.

I want to play you. I don't know if you saw this over there. I didn't see it until this morning. I was at Rams Eagle and this one Eagles rather. This one flew under the radar. The Nathaniel Hackett. I'm sorry. Yeah, no, I almost said Paul Nathaniel Hackett storyline here, winning it for the OC and former Broncos head coach, the Sean Payton.

So unceremoniously and without class, I could say it threw under the bus this past summer. Did you see CJ use Zamas pregame huddle speech? No, the Jets roll the tape.

Hoskins. If you had trouble hearing it, it's they made this bleep personal. So bleep him and bleep them. Ah, this truck backing up is for Nathaniel Hackett, and they made him a captain before the game. And if you see afterwards when they're all hugging it out with Nathaniel Hackett on the sideline, his face is all black. It's because there were so many guys hugging him. Their eye black. I was wondering about what that was. I was wondering because I saw like he had a big, huge smudge on his face. I just thought that was just, you know, the black cloud that was hanging overhead when Zach threw that last pick. But that's just me being a jet fan.

You know, hey, look, whatever they want to use, whatever they can get together. I just love Salas demeanor. I love the fact that he's held everything together. And they have a shot to go home and really put a huge pelt on the wall and get to five hundred before going on a buy. And then finally get through this hellish part of their schedule and have it kind of lighten up. But they're not one of those teams that can just roll it out and beat an opponent because they have a better roster.

They're just not there yet because Zach just needs to keep getting better. But, you know, after that first quarter against the Chiefs and it was basically, you know, a foregone conclusion that it was going to be a Kelsey, you know, love fest with Taylor Swift on NBC. And then it all turned around. It's I'm just very pleased to see the win. I was thrilled to see an actual offensive snap with the lead that happened for the first time all season in the third quarter of this game.

So that was fun. And just things are looking up that they're not in last place. They have an actual light on with their quarterback and we'll see what happens.

So that's my two cents on that game. Can I show you Jets Twitter as well? Oh, you're talking about Kevin James making it hilarious. Look at this. So funny. Now, by the way, this is well done. You know, I guess they put they put it, you know, Kevin James as Sean Payton in the movie about Sean Payton's sabbatical.

They put him in Broncos gear. Well done. But what is the deal with the Kevin James meme? What am I missing? What's happening?

So I tried to go down the rabbit hole on Google on that about two weeks ago. Somehow it took off somewhere. And it's one of those things that, hey, Chris, like, like, Rich, how often do you think about the Roman Empire? It's something like that that just took off. And it's stupid and it deserves like I can't even explain it. It's a James promotional photo shoot that's a heady image.

And it's just kind of like. But what does it mean? What does it mean? It just kind of means like you're giving a look like he I don't know. What does it mean? Yes, it means nothing. Well done. Yes, it truly means nothing.

But credit to Jets Twitter, who did far better than Bears Twitter last Thursday as they flew to Washington and showed guys getting on the plane saying name this band. You went you went all in on it and then they put up 40 on the commanders. Some of the answers were like Maroon 0 and 5. Really funny.

Maroon 0 and 5. That's good. I didn't see that one.

All right. Maybe we overreacted to that. We will not overreact to the Jets big victory because it meant something to a lot.

Coming up, we will overreact to the rest of the Sunday schedule with Rich calling in from a well appointed hotel room in London on the appropriately named Rich Isenship.

It's the Rich Eisen Show, everybody. I'm Andrew sitting in for Rich because Rich is on the other side of the globe. Thereabouts, roughly in a lovely and a well-appointed London hotel room. What is well-appointed mean? What is well-appointed? It's finally appointed.

It's artwork that's in every other room. So there is a there's I can make my own coffee in here, too. And by the way, just in terms of so you understand the sacrifices I make.

You're working hard for all of us. Yes. I just turned down. Turn down service. Turn down for what? OK, turn down, turn down, turn down service, TJ.

It's where they turn down your bed and leave a little chocolate on the pillow. I know. And then maybe just leave a little something else, some waters and where it's just it's a very, very nuanced service.

And I'm used to it. And it's a little something extra that I turned down the effort. Because I think it would be odd to have had a member of the staff of the hotel walking around here behind me while I was doing the program. Rich, is the room as nice as the embassy suites in North Canton?

Whoa, bro. That was the is that the spot that I gave you a room for that night to go to Joe Thomas's. I did. Yes, I left early. You left early and you needed a room. You needed to stay so you could go hang out and celebrate Joe Thomas. You were kind enough to gift me your room and we even had someone put on new sheets and clean the room and everything.

It was lovely. All I'm saying is that turned down service there is not the same as here, despite how great of a hospitality I have in Ohio. All I'm saying is I just made a sacrifice. Just pointing it out.

You made a sacrifice to appear on your own show, man. Yes. Yes. Yes.

TJ, if I didn't do that, I'd have a little mint on the pillow right now. Hold on. Stay right there. Stay right there.

Five, four, three, two. We're now back to a radio audience on the Rich Eisen Show. We're just having a laugh, as as they would say here.

Bitten facts. You're having a laugh. We're having a laugh. Rich is in London. I'm Andrew.

We're laughing about hotels and turned down service. I'm at the Rich Eisen Show desk. It's furnished by Grainger with supplies and solutions for every industry. Grainger is the right product for you.

Call or click Grainger dot com or just stop by. Now, back to the regularly scheduled tomfoolery and hijinks. Yes.

Yes. Hey, Rick, someone else's room like you and Kurt, you got the same size room like, no, he's not. Well, so what we did, we did what we did is we we had to zoom prior to the game with the bills. The bills didn't arrive till Friday morning here. And so we zoomed with them Thursday night.

We arrived here on Thursday morning and zoomed with the bills Thursday night before they they left. And then we zoomed with Trevor Lawrence on Saturday because our time we then went we visited with the Jaguars where they are staying here in London. And we we spent so much great time with Doug Peterson, who is just a delightful person. And Josh Allen of the Jaguars, who is another delightful human. I love that guy. I mean, he is a professional football player by that.

I mean, he makes his entire life about getting ready for trying to dismantle teams and getting his body ready, get his mind ready and watching film. And he's got three small kids, one of whom was with his wife in downtown London so he could have some family time as well while they were out here for an entire week. And then we met with Christian Kirk. And by that point, we couldn't meet with Trevor Lawrence. But the long story is because we have zoomed. I zoomed Jamie Erdal staying here.

And so is Kurt Warner. Same same layout, same everything, the same everything that we have, the same background, the same artwork on the wall, same everything. Does that answer your question on that front? Yes, it does.

And the actual the difference is also I think we were before I was complaining about turning down turns, turned down service just for this program. That the photograph that I wanted to show during the TV only segment will show it here, if you don't mind, because it is part of the London game experience. Just to let everyone know, Andrew Brandt tweeted this out saying that this is the a a group of fans walking into Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday. One of them is wearing jersey. It's a Ricky Waters Eagles jersey, a Brady Patriots jersey, an Elte Chargers jersey, a Jim Kelly and I believe a Devon Singletary. Yeah, Ils jersey, a Heinz Ward Steelers jersey, a Sean Taylor Washington jersey. This is and you could see there's a Green Bay fan that has a backpack on.

There's Niner jerseys up front. This is truly an example of what it is like to go to an international football game in London. You saw some of that in Munich last year as well. And I'm going to Frankfurt in a couple weeks as well to call Chiefs Dolphins and then Patriots Colts.

Can't wait to see the one win Patriots against Gardner Minshew. But long story short, this is exactly what it looks like when you walk into a stadium and you got in there. That said, when you walked into the state, got into the actual stadium.

And I'm not just saying this because coordinating producer Mike Hoskins is listening. There were Bills fans all over the place. It is clear that Bills Mafia thought to themselves, let's go to London.

That en masse Western New York showed up and the the fans there. It was a true Bills home game. I was genuinely concerned about the Jaguars ability to keep pace and they they just hit him.

They hit him hard to hit him with a right cross. And the defense was all over the place and had three straight three and outs for the Bills offense. And the Bills had only four three and outs all season long coming into the game. And Trevor Lawrence made throws.

Etienne made runs. And then in the third quarter, when the Bills were finally getting their their their game going, the Jaguars just kicked it up into a total different notch. And Doug Peterson saw in the fourth quarter with the Bills being already depleted on defense coming in.

And then losing Matt Milano in the first quarter that that he could lean on him and they leaned on him hard. And the Jaguars came into London at one and two, having lost two in a row, two of them against the Chiefs and the Texans at home. And then coming to London, they leave now above 500, no doubt with a ton of wind at their backs. It's where their season turned last year when they lost in London. Now they're 2-0 in London. And Lawrence made these throws. Calvin Ridley on third down moving the chains and Kirk and Etienne.

They were they were terrific. This is the Jaguars team that I think we were all expecting to see coming into the season off of their playoff run from last year. And as for the Bills, they leave here completely battered. They they are just to call them banged up. I mean, they lost Trey White for the season.

It looks like Milano is done for the season. And I know Taron Johnson got hurt and he came back in the game. And I just want to address the turf because I know Bills fans heard what Taron Johnson had to say about the turf. I actually found out about the playing surface before the game. It's the first time anybody's ever played on it.

It was installed, created, I was told it was created and installed in the San Antonio Alamo Dome and put into containers and shipped all the way over to London. And had to be QC'd specifically by Tottenham, by the stadium and those that run the stadium to the point where the rubber pellets in the turf weren't black. They were dark green because that's the way Tottenham wanted it.

Go figure. I have no idea if it was an aesthetic thing or not. And I know that, you know, the league was talking before the game about how fast the track was and how how it was definitely. I mean, you walked on it and it felt softer to me than most terms. But Taron Johnson said it felt like cement to him and a ton of bills got hurt. And this is a turf that the Ravens and Titans are going to play on on Sunday. And not only that, this is the turf that's going to stay here in Tottenham for all future NFL games from now on.

And it was created for that purpose. So I just wanted to throw all of that information out there for folks to chew on based on the game that I called yesterday. A game that still did go down to the very end is a great one. And yeah, I mean, the fact that the Bills go home without Matt Milano and losing Trey White, they get Von Miller back, but they lose two of their most vital pieces anywhere on their roster is devastating. Now, the Ravens come over, too, after a just massive loss and a massive drop. That should have been a win in Pittsburgh.

I am told that it is time rich to overreact. Let's do it. Hit it.

Hit it. That was terrible. That was crap.

That was garbage. This place sucks. Over Reaction Mondays Monday. Let's do it.

All right, Rich Eisen, are you ready? I can feel it. I can feel it.

Our first ever international edition of Over Reaction Monday. OK, I know you said you only watched, like, what, the first half of the first quarter last night on Sunday night. I watched it live before going to sleep because I'm a lead pipe wielding professional since watched the contest. I'm well versed. Oh, you have watched the whole thing. So you do know the final score was 42 to 10.

Yes, I do. Rich, the Super Bowl is the 49ers to lose. 49ers to lose. They are now the betting favorite in Las Vegas.

What a bold statement. Oh, man, I've been calling them the best team in the NFL. We're not there yet. We're just not there yet. It's still too much time. It's still just week five, Chris. It's still just week five. Injuries happen. We just talked about how the Bills came in on a three game win streak and then they left with Matt Milano getting carted off. They are playing like the Super Bowl favorites that I can say, but there's to lose because no one else can beat them.

They're the only ones that can beat themselves. I can't say it. I need to see him against Philadelphia later this year. I need to see who they're going to face in the AFC and the Super Bowl.

I need to see it. So right now, I'll call that an overreaction. That's a very strong way to begin.

Wow. I'm kind of surprised you've been all in on the Niners. I know that, but it's just things can change. It's theirs to lose. Like, I mean, right now they are playing the best in the NFL and they just curb stomped one of the best in the NFL up to this point. So I understand where you're going, but I'll just call it an overreaction for the moment. All right. Did you see what went on in South Florida yesterday?

I did. They've got a lot of fast players playing for the Dolphins. That's an understatement. The next gen, they have numbers one through seven on the fastest plays of the year. Devin A. Chain had a 22-mile-an-hour speed on his 76-yard touchdown run.

Devin A. Chain, he's only played, what, like a game and a half, it feels like? He's second in the NFL in rushing yards behind Christian McCaffrey. You know what he's averaging? Per carry? Per carry. What, like 38 yards a carry? Twelve yards a carry.

That's insane. Rich, Devin A. Chain? Let me get his name right. Devin A.

Chain? Yes. He's going to lead the NFL in rushing yards this year.

Oh, man. I'll call that an overreaction. I thought you'd say he's the offensive rookie of the year. I think that's kind of a foregone conclusion at this point.

Is it? I mean, C.J. Stroud up until yesterday was doing things that very few quarterbacks have done. He still hasn't thrown an interception. Rich, he's going to lead the NFL in rushing. He has 460 yards on only 38 attempts in four games.

A. Chain may wind up, you know, I mean, I guess Tyreek Hill would be the offensive player of the year from that team, if that's who it is. I'll still need to see McCaffrey, whatever. I still think that that's an overreaction, too, that he's going to lead the league in rushing. But being the offensive rookie of the year is not an overreaction.

I think he'd be that guy. And it's kind of crazy that a running back in this league, a running back in this league would be the offensive rookie of the year. And the offensive player of the year could be a running back in San Francisco. And which both proved the points that everyone's saying, that running backs deserve to be paid what they deserve to be paid because they're that valuable. And that you can just get, you don't have to pay running backs because somebody can come out of college and just do what Devin A. Chan is doing.

So it's fascinating. I'll call that an overreaction. The guy who barely paid in the preseason. I don't even know if he got drafted in most fantasy leagues.

He got hurt in the preseason, too. He's just crushing it. I know. And I drafted him and then released him because he wasn't playing overreaction. Oh, come on. Hold on.

You released him? Oh, no. Yep.

That's the first turned down service I received. Well done. You are a wordsmith, Mr. Eisen. OK, Rich, I saw a stat yesterday. This is going to be me venting about the Pats for a second. Mac Jones already has four pick sixes at home in less than three seasons.

Tom Brady had four his entire career with New England. Yeah. Yeah. It's really bad. It's really he's really terrible.

He's been benched now two straight games, even though Bill still says he's a starter. Forget the Jets. The Patriots are the ones who should trade for Kirk Cousins this year.

No, I think that that I I I'll say that's an overreaction. And because I think your season's over, not salvageable. Yeah, I think at this point in time, you know, you're getting close to having four wins in the first five weeks and looking as bad as you've looked, you know, at home, on the road offensively. You know, the thing that's kind of crazy, too, is like where what what's happened in their run game?

You know what I mean? Like Ramondre Stevenson, Ramondre Stevenson. It was a business decision out of the backfield every single time he touched it last year. And I thought him with Zeke would just be multiple business decisions. Mac can't throw it deep so that you can't do anything right now. I, I, I, I'd be sitting here and I start thinking about Caleb if I were you.

But like that, any of them, you know, honestly, Michael Pennix, Caleb, any one of them. That's what I'm saying. And that's what we'll talk about a little later. We're talking about the Patriots, but I'll call that an overreaction and ask you to move on. Did you see the slobberknocker in Pittsburgh yesterday?

I did. There's just the Ravens on the offense. It looks something's not going. I'm going to say the Ravens offense right now is broken as we know it. What do you mean by broken?

What do you mean by that? I mean, not functioning like a team you want to see that can you might think could win a playoff game. How about this? I'll say that the well, I think they can win a playoff game. I think they're going to make the playoffs and I think they're going to. I will say this, that I'm and I can't wait to see them here. You know, when we talk with them later this week, they're arriving, by the way, unlike the Bills arriving Friday of that week, they're arriving today.

They're coming in tonight. They're spending the whole week here like old school London week type material where they're going to spend the whole week here. But I I'm just stunned that it looks similar to what's been going on before, you know, in terms of the points, in terms of the efficiency. And that's kind of what I mean, because you bring in Todd Monk and you got all these new receivers.

Yeah, I just thought they were going to be high flying and winging. I mean, it doesn't help that they can't catch the ball. Say flowers, Nelson, but it's by saying broken, you can't put it back together. I'll call that an overreaction.

But the offense is is definitely sputtering to the point where it does appeared fractured. I'll call that as I see it there for sure. Yeah. All right. Two more.

And I apologize to TJ on the front end of this one. Dax best days is Cowboys quarterback behind him. That's an overreaction. I can't believe that yet. I can't believe that yet. What happened two weeks ago? What happened week one?

What happened? Come on now. Come on. But was Dak plays? Was he winging it around and getting them in the end zone in the red zone? I mean, come on. His days, his days of 400 yards passing and three touchdowns accounting for four. Like a Josh Allen type game, five touchdowns accounting for.

I would say, yes, those days are over. He can't run. He's not.

He's not using his feet to get first downs and move the chains. I will say that. But his best days as a quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys. I mean, he could still be a guy that you can win a Super Bowl with.

My gosh. I mean, really, do we miss killing more? I don't know if you miss. You know, you miss. I'll tell you, you miss.

You miss Amari Cooper. That's who you miss. You miss. You miss somebody like Zeke. That's what you miss. You miss. Honestly, who's scaring you?

If you lock up CD lamb, you know what? You're you're you're concerned. Gallup's going to beat you deep. Brandon Cook's going to beat you deep.

What are you concerned? Turpin, who might be looks like he's out for six weeks. I mean, nobody's circling anybody on that Cowboys team other than Pollard and CD lamb. And Pollard hasn't had those big, huge breaking runs. And part of that might be is because he's being used differently and he's the lead back in a way that, you know, you got to figure out other ways to maybe get him loose.

So maybe that's it. Sure. The Kellen Moore had an opportunity to do that. But Amari Cooper, man, six passing yards. He's 20th and passer rating. He has only five touchdowns on the season. Chris, what's your last one? Randy Moss said he still had a few red zone touchdowns left. Maybe we should get on the phone and call.

That would be bad. Last last one. Rich, I know you saw the college scores over the weekend. We are heading for a Georgia, Michigan national championship battle royale. Oh, yeah, baby. Let's go. That's not an overreaction at all.

At all. I'll tell you one thing that I was doing there on Saturday. I'll tell you one thing I was doing during the during the meeting on Saturday night. We had a meeting at what would that be? Two o'clock Eastern.

Seven o'clock local here in London. I was monitoring those Maryland Terrapins. I was I was getting ready close. Oh, I had four time thing dropped to touch. I had the break.

I had the Breaking Bad Tortuga means, you know, with a head on the back of a turtle at all ready. So, you know, Danny Trambo had the West Lafayette to get the Boilers noon Eastern on Peacock coming up. Let me tell you Saturday. Let me tell you something. Let me tell you something. By the way, I saw I saw this. I saw this. I saw that Michigan versus Michigan State is going to be on NBC on a Saturday night.

They moved that to a night game. Oh, baby. That is going to I tweeted out that dinner is going to be the Sparty and a nice Chianti.

That is going to be awesome in front of everybody to see the dismantling that is coming to East Lansing. Oh, I cannot wait. And I can't. As you know, I don't usually talk this sort of smack. But I'm doing it right now with your chest. That said, that's not an overreaction, baby.

They are the two best teams. We're seeing it. Oh, you tell me. I'm wrong. 100 percent.

OK, thank you. 100 percent. Ohio State would like a seat at the table. They get produced and then they get Penn State on Fox at noon next week. Let's see. Yeah, let's see.

And Michigan's got a gauntlet at Penn State, at Maryland, home for Ohio State before all that. That said, I don't think that's an overreaction at all. They're yelling at me and I'm not overreacting to Hoskins yelling at me that we have a break. Rich Eisen in London. We're all here. This is the Rich Eisen show back momentarily.

Don't go anywhere. Susie Schuster and Amy Trask present offbeat conversations and expert sports commentary as they ask, what the football? When my family found out how long it took me to figure out why Charles Woodson named his wine intercept. They said, there's a reason that you had trouble in school. You know, not everyone knows, you know, what they think of a bottle of intercept. They don't know that I play football. Well, what I've learned is a smooth defensive back can make smooth wine. That's what it's all about. What the football with Susie Schuster and Amy Trask.

The podcast is available Tuesdays wherever you listen. When you see the video of you throw into Tyree, OK, what do you think of when you see that? I just smile. I just I'm just thankful, thankful for David Tyree, man. There's not a better person and a guy who just, you know, who has the worst week of practice in the history of all practices on that Friday and dropped every pass.

And, you know, thought he was going to be the starting receiver. And it's like, oh, you know, comes back and plays that game. And then sure enough, in the game, David Tyree has a touchdown catch and then they beat catch, you know, Rodney Harrison hanging all over them. You know, Bob Popper given the call saying, you know, he's got a wide open receiver, you know, and I guess that's wide open in the NFL. And, you know, David Tyree, just the will, the desire was there and just catching off the helmet.

Just what a what unbelievable story. And, you know, never get tired of watching that play. All right, Chris Brockman, my on-air compadre here. What do you tell him?

Go ahead. Tell him what you say every time. Now that he's here, you can say it to his face. Go ahead, Chris.

Well, usually I say it to Sean O'Hara because Sean is here. But I mean, there are 14 different holdings on that play, which is fine. Eli, what do you say to that when he says holdings?

Yeah, he sees holdings. How can you get holdings that didn't block anybody? You know, let them run in, you know, get set by all four players.

You know, they kind of blocked them off. You know, I think it's only holding if the guy's holding me, you know, like a defense player is holding me. I think you're allowed to do whatever you want to the hash rusher at that point. If I'm in the grass, they could just grab them also and pull them off. It's kind of a kind of free range at that point.

I agree. Chris, you see holding Eli sees grasping. That's what he sees. I see the greatest play ever.

That's right. There's a giant right there, Eli. I was sitting right there. I was there in the building. That's it.

Of course, holding can be called on every play. Hi, it's Amber sitting in for Rich. Rich is here from London as well. It's my job to tell you that you can stream the NFL like tonight's game in Vegas.

Restrictions do apply. Well done by you guys. Thank you.

Thank you. Teamwork there. You want to get to the Patriots? Sure. Let's talk about the Patriots here for a few minutes.

I've never seen it like this, man. And you can't sit here and say, you know, that Belichick's less than without Brady when, you know, he won 11 games with Matt Castle. And it's just a total complete roster degrading. Isn't that the bigger issue?

Well, I mean, sure. The Belichick, the GM is an issue. And part of that was last year having Matt Jones coached in a crucial season by two guys that shouldn't have coached him.

But Bill O'Brien was supposed to fix that. And I just see a team that who are you afraid of when you play them? Unfortunately for them, the guy that you're afraid of is out in Matt Judon. That's the guy that you're afraid of.

Who else are you afraid of? It's not Juju Smith-Schuster with a gimpy knee. It's not any of the young speedy receivers that they have drafted and haven't really blossomed. The run game, that's the thing that stuns me. The run game, I mean, Matt Jones used to be in all these third and manageables.

Now he's not. And that's what leads to a lot of these pick sixes. They can't run it.

And now they can't stop you. And that has to do with injuries. I mean, Bill hit, let's be honest, you want to talk about his roster building. He hit on that kid from Oregon in the draft before he got hurt for the rest of the year. I mean, and he worked the draft board masterfully, you know, allowing the Steelers to take the offensive lineman that I think we all think the Jets are going to take. They keep saying that that's not who they were going to take. But, you know, the first round of the draft, Bill handled that masterfully. But Matt Jones has just totally fallen apart.

I have no idea how this happened. And part of that is the running games falling apart. I mean, Zeke has done nothing.

I thought he'd have affected a game at some point by this point, but not at all. I just got to figure that feel that Bill's just going to have to figure it out at some point because he always does. Well, in our final minute here on the radio, before we step aside briefly, not going to play Belichick not enough time. But what he said after the game was we have to go back and restart everything, like go back to the beginning, except we're heading into week six and you can't tear it down midseason. The roster hay is in the barn. And, yeah, Christian Gonzalez is out for the year and Matt Judon looks to be out for the year.

And without those two key pieces on defense and without anyone who can get open and with the blocking issues offensively, I don't know how you do that. And that is their dilemma. It is. And, you know, I don't know how much time's left because I don't want to keep talking before. OK, very good. Well, our three, I'm going to stick around. I'm going to stick around.

All right. Rich is going to stick around. I'm not leaving.

No, he's not leaving. And the thing is, Rich, if you look at week one, you know, one of my overreactions on the podcast was, hey, Bill O'Brien kind of fixed the offense after one week. They looked really good. They moved the ball. They scored 20 points and had a chance to beat the Eagles. And since week one, they've scored 30 points combined. I don't know what the hell's happened. The run game, the run game has just disappeared.

They cannot affect anything at the line of scrimmage. And if I'm Bill Belichick, you know, and I'm in charge of the the franchise. And and and maybe he wants to keep coaching there for a long time. You have no idea what's going on in his skull.

I again, this is not the guy you would ever associate the word tank with. Caleb Williams would be a great way for him to go out on top. And my apologies to Matt Jones. But the Patriots are already a third of the way almost to getting what you have to do from for for Caleb Williams. And I can guarantee Caleb Williams would want to play there, too.

In the same way that I say, are you sure, Jeff? Oh, why wouldn't you play for the New England Patriots? My goodness, you want to go out there with no playmakers. And I like Bill O'Brien. Don't get me wrong.

And obviously Bill Belichick's sky skins of the wall is the greatest of all time in our final 30 seconds here. Wherever you're going to go is that his dad are talking here. Right. But but but but wherever you're going to go drafted first overall, you're probably not going to have too many weapons. Nobody's going to come out and trade from from the playoff spot in the draft to go get him. That's true.

So I'm just talking about places to play. I got you. And having a guy like Belichick maybe coach you before handing him off to somebody else. Right now, the Patriots are 15th in the AFC, 15th at a 16.

Unless I'm right. Chiefs. Dolphins. Bills. Ravens. Ravens. Final four. Over Reaction Monday. The podcast. Wherever you listen.
