Andy Holloway, Jason Moore, and Mike Wright. Oh, welcome in. The only Mark Sanchez podcast, five days a week. Mark Sanchez all the time. Wait. Oh. You excited, Mike? Well, there was a lack of butt fumbles last night, but whatever. You ever watch a movie and you go into it with expectations and...

2:20 ↗

You know, there's something that you're not expecting. Maybe you're watching a movie with your, you know, in the front room and you've got your kids and you're like, this movie's going to be fine. And then there's something comes on the screen. Oh, yeah. That's you're a little bit. Yeah, no, trust me. I watched a recommended Netflix film in the kids under their kids profile and everything was going well. Uh-huh, uh-huh. Until a couple back-to-back.

2:44 ↗

bombs that we don't say on this show that you can't say on regular TV happened. I was like, what is happening? It was on the kids? Yes. And I just, I feel the, because I picked the movie. Right. Of course. I was like, okay, I'll give this a try. And then the laser beams from the wife. I didn't even have to look. I knew they were there. You have to pause and have a long conversation with your children. And I just shriveled into the couch. Nothing to see here. So yeah, I know exactly what you're talking about.

3:12 ↗

Well, I was making the comparison to, like, once Mark Sanchez came on the screen, that's not what I bargained for. I signed up to watch a little Monday night football. I've already got to deal with Jason Whitten, which is its whole thing. The wife would give me the eyes just for here. Who is this guy? Yeah. I've also, we'll get to the game analysis. But I've never seen a team down. It was 15 points, I believe, at this time, which is, by the way, just two scores in the NFL.

3:41 ↗

There was two minutes and 40 seconds left. Washington had two timeouts. They gave up. They didn't try and stop the clock. They didn't do anything. They said, nah, we know this isn't happening. I guess, I mean, I commend you for knowing who you are with Mark Sanchez. You said they were down 15? Yeah. Well, I mean, the maximum points scored on a Mark Sanchez drive is three. So that's a five score game. That's what that is. I was, it was blowing my mind that.

4:08 ↗

An NFL team gave up at that point. I wonder if at this point people are wondering where Jason is. They're like, wow, this show is going great. Well, he took in the Mark Sanchez experience last night. Literally. And then he, well, he's not doing well today. Got a stomach flu thing going on. So Jay Gris filling in. Mike and I will handle the waiver show today. Brooks is in the house.

4:37 ↗

And we're excited to get it going. We've got, as I said, waivers. Obviously, there are many of you right now who are celebrating, maybe a bye week. Maybe you just made the playoffs. Yes, congratulations. Yeah, I had a lot of people, you know, send me their team, their excitement for the upcoming Foot Clan title opportunity. Had some people with some bad breaks. Also had one person. Let's call him Kurt. Oh, hey, Kurt. Because that's his name. Russell?

5:08 ↗

Nope. No, no, no. Kurt Russell wouldn't have done this. Oh, and 13. Oh, no, Kurt! Yeah. Oh, and 13 with Todd Gurley. Oh, that's impossible. Not impossible. Todd Gurley's good for two victories by himself. He sent me the proof. He sent me the proof. Oh, no. I recommend that he closed his accounts down, probably just move towns. I'm sorry.

5:31 ↗

I don't know how you've got to be the only tied girly owner to go 0 and 13. And he says he normally dominates this league. So I don't know what mishmash of, of bad luck you had. But you know, move on. Yeah. So back back to the game real quick. Adrian, like I said about how Washington kind of gave up. Adrian Peterson had a vintage AP all day run of a 90 yard touchdown where he looked like an absolute beast running down the field.

5:59 ↗

I mean, that was old school. The speed was impressive. That was old school Adrian Peterson. A 90-yard touchdown. Finish the game with 98 yards. I don't know how you do that. How is that possible? Yeah. Yeah, didn't get to 100. It was also. Josh Adams, 2485? Yeah, I mean, not a very efficient game, but you like to see that the volume was there, even with the timeshare collector, Darren Sproul, getting in there. Yeah. And scoring the touchdown.

6:29 ↗

My big takeaway for the Eagles, besides the sustained volume for Josh Adams, looks like you can at least trust him as that fringe RB2, RB3. Golden Tate, welcome to the Eagles, my friend. Seven for 85 with the touchdown. I mean, caught all seven of his targets. Yeah, incredible efficiency. Meanwhile, Al-Shon Jeffrey continues to vanish and pull a Houdini on the field. I don't know where he's gone. Well, last night, I want to give a little bit of credit to.

6:58 ↗

Josh Norman? I mean, he had the end zone slant target that Norman picked off. Right. So you can look at the matchup, but a player like Golden Tate, you manufacture touches for, screen passes. You know, he's running behind, you know, into rounds. Alshan Jeffrey was just bottled up again. So I don't know what you can do with him in the playoffs. Yeah. When you looked at snap counts before this week, Aguilar was still out snapping Golden Tate, but Golden Tate, obviously a breakout game for him. Zach Erich was,

7:28 ↗

Great as always. Didn't score, but looked good. Carson Wentz put in a good game, 306 and 2. Otherwise, takeaways are that you're in trouble if you're trying to start Washington Redskins here on out. Oh, Col McCoy. I abandoned. Cole McCoy, the injury. Unfortunate, had his first opportunity to start there in five years in the system. Broken fibula out for the season. Chris Thompson, he was back. Hopefully he didn't count on him three for three. That's nice.

7:56 ↗

Alshan Jeffrey over his last five games after him, he came out absolutely on fire for his first four games averaging right around 10 targets a game. Last five games, 37 yards a game. How are you feeling, dynasty owner of Alshan Jeffrey? Not good. I don't blame you. It's unfortunate. He is definitely involved in my demise in that league of not making the playoffs.

8:23 ↗

How surprised are you that the Eagles offense hasn't been better this year? Not. I mean, they've been okay. And this was the Dallas next week with a chance to tie them atop the division. Right. This was the Carson Wentz touchdown regression that we had talked about. I mean, it was definitely coming. Just mathematically speaking, people can't sustain the pace he was on. Shout out to offseason Patrick Mahomes talks.

8:53 ↗

as we try and break that shout out to offseason Pat Mahomes talk you know that future Pat Mahomes discussion that's going to be a huge topic of of a man who puts up the second best season of all time do you think there will be a single soul though that doesn't just to say oh I'm all in no Patrick Mahomes repeat let's let's go I am a bit surprised that it's it's kind of hit the the Eagles a

9:19 ↗

this hard, but... When you don't have a garret blunt. I mean, really? Yeah, he was the engine. He's the engine. He's the engine. The steam engine. Yeah. The tugboat that gets that going. There you go. All right. Let's get into the news. News and notes from around the league. All right. Well, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that AJ Green is going to undergo season-ending surgery for torn ligaments in his toe. He's going to be sidelined three to four months. AJ Green's season is done.

9:54 ↗

It was done a few weeks ago. We just didn't know it yet. Matt Berita. Well, we did. Yeah, well, yeah, I had made a dynasty trade because I just didn't want to deal with it. Yeah, I just worried about the rest of the season. Matt Berita ruled out for week 14. Now get this. I don't buy it. No, did you hear this, though? I'm not buying in. Did you hear that this is the first game he's missed since high school? Exactly. I'm not buying in. I've seen Matt Berita go down 25 times. He's been ruled out, Mike. Yeah, we'll see.

10:24 ↗

You getting Jeff Wilson? This is going to be a full WWF situation where in the second quarter someone's going to rip their jersey off and it's actually Matt Barita. Oh, and then get his ankle twisted. Yeah, I mean, he'll get hurt later in the game. Yeah. That's a tough, tough dude. So, I mean, this is actually, this is fortunate for people heading. Clarity. Yeah, for the clarity purposes of, of, we're going to talk about on the waivers. And now fantasy people know.

10:53 ↗

Okay, I can move on. I don't have to play that dance of Berita in or out. Yeah, Jeff Wilson, Jr. last week, 15 for 61, 8 for 73 through the air. There are very few weapons in San Francisco. So with Brita out, Jeff Wilson, we'll talk about him. Cardinals have placed wide receiver Christian Kirk on injured reserve. So there you go. Yep. Rams backup running back, Malcolm Brown could undergo surgery.

11:24 ↗

So you need to change your handcuff situation up. Yeah. John Kelly or Justin Davis. John Kelly for me. It would be John Kelly for me as well, but make the switch. I saw you, you went out and signed Malcolm Brown. Yeah, that didn't go. You stole somebody else's handcuff this week. Oh, I was laughing all the way to the bank. Yeah. That bank had no money. Yeah. Chiefs have signed Charkandric West, not C.J. Anderson.

11:51 ↗

to fill a depth role. This makes far more sense. Yes. Far more sense than signing C.J. Anderson. I believe that the signing of the Charizard. I mean, he's back. This is very exciting news. It just solidifies that Spencer Ware will be the primary guy. It could be a full-time share, but at least he'll be at the front of it. The way I look at Spencer Ware right now is that if he scores, you're going to be real happy. If he doesn't score, you might not be as happy.

12:19 ↗

But we'll see. And the odds of him scoring are great. Yes, they are. This is a good team. Ex-Chiefs running back, Kareem Hunt, passed through waivers unclaimed, now technically free to sign with any team. They're investigating multiple issues. Mike mentioned it on the show. He expects the suspension to exceed the normal domestic violence six games. This could be a situation where he is suspended for...

12:45 ↗

10 games? Eight to 10 games to start next year. Yeah, I mentioned it on the show. A full season with everything coming out, a full season won't shock me. But it's at least going to be a double-digit suspension. If he even gets another opportunity. Chris Carson is expected to play in week 14. Head the dislocated finger. Yeah. And the Jags have reinstated Leonard Fournette from his suspension. He'll be back. Hooray. Yeah. Yeah. Heading into the playoffs. It's nice to have.

13:12 ↗

You're running back. We're still waiting to hear on Melvin Gordon updates, whether he will be back this week. Just take your time, buddy. I know. You want him to take your time. Take us time because you've got. You realize I believe week 15 is the Chiefs on Thursday night football. Oh, yeah. Come on, Melvin. So that'll be fun. Any other news you want to get into? Nah. Jay Gris, you got anything? Yeah, I expected as much. Put me in, coach.

13:40 ↗

We could have, for Jay Grizz's sake, mentioned the news, the update on Mitchell Tribisky, as Jason calls him, Superstar Quarterback for the Chicago Bears. They say, Future Hall of Famer. They say he's getting better. But that's the update? That's the update. That's the update. Nice. That's so much better than getting worse. Which usually happens. I hope Jason's getting better as well. Him and Mitch are in the same boat. Once you're injured, every day you get a little bit better. Ah.
