1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:01,880
Speaker 1: As John AND's Paul Allen, how are you.

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:03,560
Speaker 2: Good?

3
00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:04,680
Speaker 3: How you doing all right?

4
00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:07,040
Speaker 1: But thank you very much. Congrats on the OT win

5
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:07,640
Speaker 1: last night.

6
00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:11,160
Speaker 4: Uh might have required a stiff drink to handle it,

7
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 4: but uh yeah you left with two points. Crazy game, John,

8
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:17,520
Speaker 4: Crazy game last night, wasn't it?

9
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:21,880
Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah, I think it was. It was the finish

10
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:24,920
Speaker 3: was crazy. And then I think just in in general overall,

11
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:27,520
Speaker 3: you know, I thought the first threey both teams were

12
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:31,639
Speaker 3: kind of trading chances, and then uh, they were better

13
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:33,640
Speaker 3: in the second and we were we were really good

14
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:35,839
Speaker 3: in the third and then and then it was a

15
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:40,160
Speaker 3: it was a strange finish obviously, with them scoring point

16
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 3: two seconds left and then us scoring in the OT.

17
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:45,479
Speaker 3: So lot going on a lot of process after last night.

18
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, I should have said crazy finish because it period

19
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:51,200
Speaker 4: is one and two. I mean, they were all different,

20
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 4: but I mean it was a little slower than at

21
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 4: the end, for sure. So did did the neat did

22
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 4: the Nashville goalie purposely dislodge the net in overtime?

23
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 1: And on the Joe Hanson game winner?

24
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 3: You know, I don't know if he did it on purpose,

25
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:08,319
Speaker 3: you know, it looked as though that he did, but

26
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 3: I can't, you know, I can't say for sure. Originally,

27
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 3: when it was on from my angle on the bench,

28
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 3: I thought that he had pushed it off with his pad,

29
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 3: so I wasn't sure right away if it was going

30
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:21,119
Speaker 3: to count. But then once I saw the replay from

31
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:24,039
Speaker 3: a different angle where his arm you know, looked like

32
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:27,040
Speaker 3: it had dislodged the net, then I knew it was

33
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 3: probably going to count.

34
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,400
Speaker 4: And when I say stiff drink required at the end

35
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 4: of that game, Stamco's ties it would point three seconds

36
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 4: to go ericson X clear to win the game, hits

37
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 4: an official. I mean, you can't make that stuff up.

38
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 4: Fourteen with the proverbial bullets firing at that time, he

39
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 4: made the right play, right.

40
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was just one of it was one of

41
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 3: those ones where you know, it hit the ref and

42
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 3: then it stays in. I think nine times out of ten,

43
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 3: you know with ECKI, that's going to be a clear

44
00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 3: and the game's over and none of the none of

45
00:01:59,920 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 3: the eventful thing that took place after that would have happened.

46
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 3: But uh, you know, I think that in that case

47
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:07,279
Speaker 3: it was an unfortunate bounce.

48
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 1: What what was the ref werr? He was supposed to be.

49
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,079
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I think it's tough for those guys too.

50
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,359
Speaker 3: When it's in a clear he's coming up, it's under pressure,

51
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 3: you know. I think if it's a put or to

52
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 3: the other way, and you know that that's where the

53
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:25,080
Speaker 3: refs are in that area of the specific position. I

54
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,079
Speaker 3: don't know one hundred percent, no, but knowing that that's

55
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 3: where they are in the zones in those situations.

56
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 1: Each period last night was just so different.

57
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 4: Does does Nashville try to turn it into a slog

58
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 4: and win tight, low scoring games or was that just

59
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 4: last night?

60
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,800
Speaker 3: I think it was. It was probably more more last night.

61
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 3: I mean it's the first time we've seen them this season,

62
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 3: and so I think I look, both teams kind of

63
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 3: traded chances in the first It was a little bit,

64
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 3: you know, we're a little a little bit reckless in

65
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:00,640
Speaker 3: the first And then I thought it in the second period,

66
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 3: I thought, our execution and connection to be able to

67
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 3: get out of our end and and and pase the

68
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 3: pressure off to execution and breakouts and coming out of

69
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,920
Speaker 3: the zone was off, and they really gain momentum from that.

70
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,360
Speaker 3: And then I thought in the third period, you know,

71
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 3: coming in with a two to one lead.

72
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 4: I thought we played pretty solid and and you guys,

73
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 4: like you said, put the pedal to the metal in

74
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 4: the third plagurer cleanest period when when when when they

75
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 4: kept missing the empty net to seal it and and

76
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 4: before Stamcos tied it. What's the feeling for you, like

77
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 4: on the bench, Like how do you stay calm during

78
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 4: that flurry?

79
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 3: You know, it's it's funny when you're involved because you're

80
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 3: you're so focused on what's on, what's going on, whether

81
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:47,839
Speaker 3: that's you're you're identifying the things that are going on

82
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 3: on the ice at that time. You're also you know,

83
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 3: in preparation for a line change if if these guys

84
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 3: come off, who the next guys be, So you're making

85
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 3: sure that that's organized and so it's not it's not

86
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 3: so much. Uh you know, maybe like a fan where

87
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 3: you don't have those responsibilities. It's just the game, you know.

88
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 3: I think coaching and playing, you're focused on what what's

89
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 3: actually going on and what could potentially happen next.

90
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 4: Uh Uh Gus Gus was on his game for sure,

91
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 4: and and it seemed you desperately needed it right, especially

92
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:19,040
Speaker 4: in the second period.

93
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, Gus played a really good game. You know, that's

94
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 3: what we need from him. And there's there was times

95
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 3: in that game where we were we were under siege,

96
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:29,600
Speaker 3: whether that was you know, mistakes that we make with

97
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 3: his breakdowns. I think every team has it in that

98
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 3: in that stretch in the second period. You know, he

99
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 3: certainly was the difference in the game to keep the

100
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 3: to keep the score where it was.

101
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 4: John Hines, coach of the Minnesota Wild, nine to noon

102
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 4: with Gus did did he did he make a lot

103
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 4: of tough saves or or was it more of a

104
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 4: blue collar just do your job for us tonight, Gus

105
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 4: and we'll be okay.

106
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:53,840
Speaker 3: It was it was a combo. He made some huge

107
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 3: saves for us. You know, I think there was one

108
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:58,280
Speaker 3: point blank right. He had the combination of everything last night.

109
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,839
Speaker 3: He made some big time saves on some big time breakdowns. Uh.

110
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,600
Speaker 3: He made the routine saves and I thought he did.

111
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,600
Speaker 3: He did a great job also as well, just you know,

112
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 3: in in those traffic when you have to really compete

113
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 3: as a goaltender to find sight lines and there might

114
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,839
Speaker 3: be tips or rebounds. I thought he was extremely competitive

115
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,119
Speaker 3: and solid in that area as well. So I would

116
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:19,599
Speaker 3: say that he hit you know, he hit the he

117
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 3: hit the whole gamut.

118
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 4: Last night, you you you had a term or a

119
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 4: phrase after the game that that I hadn't heard.

120
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 1: You've probably said it before and I missed it.

121
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 4: But like I think you were asked about the difference

122
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 4: between the second and third period. So when when you

123
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:36,840
Speaker 4: say sometimes you guys have to quote fight the panic

124
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,040
Speaker 4: and quote what what does that mean?

125
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 3: When when you get when you're under duress or you're

126
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 3: under pressure, particularly coming coming out of your own end,

127
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 3: whether it's your breakouts or when you're insane a defensive

128
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 3: structure posture, and you wind up with possession of the

129
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:55,600
Speaker 3: puck a lot of times, you know, in today's game,

130
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,720
Speaker 3: there's so much pressure and everybody's so fast that if

131
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 3: we're in the right spots, know where we get in

132
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 3: where we get into trouble. Particularly last night and the

133
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,719
Speaker 3: second period, was the puck would wind up on someone's

134
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:07,719
Speaker 3: stick and we would just slap it. We would we

135
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:09,919
Speaker 3: wouldn't we wouldn't make a play, we wouldn't make a

136
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,360
Speaker 3: firm play. We panicked a little bit with the puck.

137
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 3: And that's one of the phrases you like to use

138
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 3: in those situations is you have to fight the panic

139
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 3: like you are under pressure. Yeah, but we have to

140
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 3: have good positioning. We have to be you know, we

141
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 3: have to be able to make some plays in those situations,

142
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 3: more so than we did in the second period. And

143
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:27,599
Speaker 3: I think if you go out and you watch, say

144
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,360
Speaker 3: the first shift of the third period, I think we're

145
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:33,599
Speaker 3: in defense's own coverage. Middleton gets over the Puckey's under pressure,

146
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,159
Speaker 3: he fights the panic, he pops it to the middle.

147
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 1: We're out.

148
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 3: You know, we needed more of that in the second period.

149
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 1: That's terrific. The penalty kill was solid.

150
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:47,679
Speaker 4: What what's key with a attacking a power play?

151
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 1: All right?

152
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 4: That's your preference, attacking a power play group without becoming

153
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 4: too loose while being a man short.

154
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, a lot of times it starts with a face off.

155
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 3: You know, if you can, if you can win a

156
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 3: face off and clear it. Now you've eight ten to

157
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 3: twelve seconds off the power play because they got to

158
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 3: go down and break it out. Now you've established your

159
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 3: opportunity to get in your penalt kill four check posture,

160
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 3: which should be a strong defensive structure even though you're

161
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 3: a man down and you try to prevent easy entries.

162
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 3: So now you want to try to hold the lines,

163
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 3: disrupt their breakout, not allow an easy entry where they

164
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 3: can set up right away. Now again you've put them

165
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 3: in a situation where now you can attack them with

166
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 3: pressure and then if you can get another clear, now

167
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 3: you've attacked them, you wipe thirty thirty five seconds off

168
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 3: the power play. Now. The other thing is when they

169
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 3: do gain possession and you have to be in your

170
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 3: structure and they're running their rotations that we need to be.

171
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 3: Now it's a time where we have to be disciplined

172
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 3: with our stick detail, our positioning for the potential plays

173
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 3: that they may run lots of times in those situations

174
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 3: because of the talent level out there, there's probably going

175
00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 3: to be one or two scoring chances on a power

176
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 3: play that are high level where you need to save.

177
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 3: And then off of those rebound situations, now you want

178
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 3: to get into pressure.

179
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 1: Again and attack them. That's in the weeds. I love that.

180
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 4: Just a couple of close here for John Hines, coach

181
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 4: of the Minnesota Wild. How close is Zucarello to returning.

182
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 3: He's close, He's close. I don't know. I would say

183
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 3: I would label him right now as day to day.

184
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 4: Versus week to week, right, and I see he got

185
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 4: it back to back coming up, so maybe one of

186
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 4: those two. But when when Zuki returns, in what ways

187
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 4: will his return help this group? And with with Joe Hanson,

188
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 4: like what happens with him? And you know he's off

189
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,320
Speaker 4: to such a great start, what do you think about

190
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:44,560
Speaker 4: all that?

191
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:48,960
Speaker 3: I think when Zuki comes back, he's he's you know,

192
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 3: his on ice presence is he's a guy that he's

193
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 3: a guy that can fight the panick. He's a great guy.

194
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,199
Speaker 3: He's so skilled with the puck, he can make plays.

195
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 3: I think the energy that he brings as a player,

196
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 3: he plays both sides of the puck really well. Uh.

197
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:05,720
Speaker 3: His competitiveness for a uh, for for a high skill player,

198
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:09,079
Speaker 3: he's he's he's a he's a very competitive player, which

199
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 3: I think brings energy to your team as well as

200
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 3: his ability to make plays. I think obviously brings a

201
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:17,320
Speaker 3: strong power play element to our team. Off the ice,

202
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 3: he's a you know, he's a veteran guy. He's got

203
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 3: he's got great experiences, he speaks his mind. I think

204
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:25,440
Speaker 3: he brings energy, uh in the group. I think sometimes

205
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 3: his his voice is missed when he's gone, when he's

206
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 3: out of the locker room. So I think you you

207
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 3: combine all those things, you're you know, you're adding in

208
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 3: a player that's well respected in the room and and

209
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 3: is an impact player off.

210
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 4: The excuse me on the ice, all right, Carolina tomorrow

211
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:42,560
Speaker 4: night on KFA. Nikolai Eelers got his first for the

212
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 4: Canes last night and they got their goalie back from injury.

213
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:49,840
Speaker 4: What what's different about Carolina compared to this Predator's team

214
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 4: you just played, well, they're.

215
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 3: A little bit different. I think they play a little

216
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:58,559
Speaker 3: bit different, a different styles, uh than than the Predators.

217
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 3: You know, they they're they're basically a man on man

218
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 3: team all over the ice. So they're a good skating team.

219
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 3: They're very fast, they like to pressure you all over

220
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,559
Speaker 3: the ice. It's more of a man on man system everywhere,

221
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 3: which is a little bit unique. And they have I

222
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 3: think the way they put their team together, they certainly

223
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 3: have guys that can play that style.

224
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 1: Tear it up, Bud, and we'll talk next week.

225
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 3: All right, all right? Kay?

253
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 2: potentially sponsor a player on the Minnesota Vikings, they might

254
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 2: sponsor some high quality beef on the interior of that

255
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:51,720

00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:05,440
Speaker 2: kick and Isaiah Rodgers getting caught by the holder Jack Fox,

Speaker 2: Player of the Week, So congratulations to him.

263
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:17,960
Speaker 1: It takes everybody.

264
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:20,960
Speaker 2: It takes fifty three ladies and gentlemen, or forty six

265
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 2: to forty seven is depending upon who's inactive, but Levi

266
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:26,840
Speaker 2: Drake Rodriguez all part of that big win over the kiddies.

267
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:28,679
Speaker 1: Congrats to him on that honor.

268
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 4: And Covenant claps two ld R Levi Drake Rodriguez. That's

269
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 4: awards like that for players who don't play full time,

270
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 4: well they just they don't come too frequently. So Covenant

271
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 4: claps definitely his way for somebody who has absolutely outworked

272
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 4: his draft slotting and having watched the game back, now

273
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,960
Speaker 4: it's I'll just I'll triple down on something that we

274
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:59,079
Speaker 4: just we we guessed Monday, started to formulate the opinion yesterday,

275
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 4: and it's it's fact. I mean, it's a here's the

276
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:06,680
Speaker 4: reality with Van Ginkel, Grenard and Cashman.

277
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:07,720
Speaker 1: It's what.

278
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 4: You can't double Javon Hargrave every single play.

279
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 1: You just can't do it.

280
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 4: And there were some times Christian Mahogany was one on

281
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 4: one with him. He annihilated him two times, So Christian,

282
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 4: excuse me. Javon had a lot of juice in that game.

283
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 4: That's going to be required the rest of the way,

284
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 4: but specifically this weekend, the Ravens, I mean they got

285
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 4: some big old beefeaters on that offensive line.

286
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 1: It's a big.

287
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 4: Lumbering line that power runs and tries to vertical pass.

288
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 4: So I think that shakes out well for Hargrave, you know,

289
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:49,079
Speaker 4: unless Vorhees and Linderbaum or whomever go to doubling him.

290
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 4: But I expect another big one this weekend from Levi,

291
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 4: Drake Rodriguez and Javon Hargrave.

292
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 2: May I ask you to reiterate a point that you

293
00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 2: made earlier nine to twenty just before Florio, you kind

294
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 2: of noted big trades taking place yesterday, and there were

295
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 2: some splashy bits. I mean, Sauce Gardner and what the

296
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 2: hundred plus million dollar contract being traded from the Jets

297
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:11,559
Speaker 2: to the Indy. That's a big deal. Quinn Williams, the

298
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:13,960
Speaker 2: Jets kind of deciding. I think they're punting on the

299
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five season, certainly, but they're gonna have a

300
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:18,600
Speaker 2: ton of draft picks in twenty twenty six and some

301
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:20,880
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty seven. I think an extra first that

302
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 2: year as well. But kind of reiterating the point that

303
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 2: you made earlier, Vike spite style that you know, no

304
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 2: moves being made of material for the Vikings yesterday.

305
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 1: Maybe some were surprised.

306
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 2: A lot were clamoring, hey, there's a cornerback here, there's

307
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 2: Xyz Lineman. There no moves being made by Quacy, but

308
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 2: both of us may be in lockstep while not even

309
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 2: sharing it with each other.

310
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 1: Just kind of the idea.

311
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 2: I think, if this team's healthy, I don't think this

312
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 2: team is going to splash at the deadline for anything

313
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 2: substantial to push forward into the depths.

314
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 4: Of this season, O'Connell told us to start ex as

315
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 4: the o's yesterday phones ringing. I mean, there are a

316
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 4: lot of fe calls that are being made. That that

317
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 4: was the eleven AM, which was four hours in front

318
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 4: of the trading deadline closing. So it's absolutely the every

319
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 4: single team. I'd say most teams will try to make trades,

320
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 4: specifically those with five hundred or winning records, but they

321
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 4: don't always work from a reciprocal value standpoint the way

322
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 4: you would hope they work. So, you know, to say

323
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 4: that they didn't get calls that were interesting or they

324
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 4: didn't make calls, I think that would be inaccurate.

325
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 1: I'm sure they were busy.

326
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 4: Secondly, if the Vikings lose that game to the Lions,

327
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 4: and it depends on how they lose to the Lions,

328
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 4: when they get all their dogs back, well part of

329
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 4: my you know, for what it's worth, part of Monday's

330
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 4: nine to noon conversation would have been different, and it

331
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 4: you know, from three to five it there could have

332
00:15:55,320 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 4: been maybe off the microphone for Tuesday day of you know, like, well,

333
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 4: wonder how much they got to think about this?

334
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, wonder wonder how much they gotta think about that.

335
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 4: But then you you need to you it's required to

336
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 4: mesh the current salary cap the future salary cap picks

337
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 4: that you have over the next couple of years, and

338
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 4: and and do you like the team?

339
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 3: Uh?

340
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 4: And from a corner backstandpoint, there, Isaiah Rodgers did not

341
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 4: play every play. Biran Murphy played every play. He's the

342
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 4: only corner to play every play. Rogers played them all

343
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 4: I think except for five, six or seven. And and

344
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 4: there were flores, as the kids would say, was in

345
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 4: his bag. I mean, there were so many different things

346
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 4: when I watched this back that I just had not

347
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 4: seen all season. Okuda was out with a concussion. They

348
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 4: didn't use Newdy. So therefore you you you have the

349
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 4: O Jackson playing in different spots.

350
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 3: Yep.

351
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 4: But but his snaps were down. Hip man snaps were

352
00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:02,320
Speaker 4: way up. He he was at the line a lot

353
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 4: of the game. I don't know how much, but he

354
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 4: was up on the line a lot. Then he would retreat.

355
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:10,440
Speaker 4: We've seen that before, but we haven't seen twenty two

356
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 4: and twenty six Smith and Jackson at the line feigning

357
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:20,399
Speaker 4: rush and then right before the snap sprinting back that

358
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 4: threw off golf. I mean, because he had never seen

359
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:25,399
Speaker 4: that from a Flores defense. We had never seen that

360
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:29,359
Speaker 4: from maybe never too strong, I mean, but as frequently

361
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 4: as we did in that game. Yeah, and you know,

362
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:33,200
Speaker 4: I'll say it for a fifth time. Man, I just

363
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:38,119
Speaker 4: cannot stress the importance of having fifty eight to fifty

364
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:40,639
Speaker 4: one and forty three in the game at the same time.

365
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 1: I mean, it's formidable. It was Grenard and Van Ginkel.

366
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:49,720
Speaker 4: It could be argued top whatever one two edge combo

367
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:57,120
Speaker 4: last year against run, against pass, pass deflections and touchdowns.

368
00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 4: Getting ketchwo might have been the best, certainly off steap.

369
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 4: Well they got that back. They're three and oh when

370
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:07,359
Speaker 4: when Van Ginkle and Grenard play together? Two and oh

371
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 4: when Cashman, Ben Ginkle and Grenard play together. But the

372
00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:15,440
Speaker 4: interesting thing here is what happens with others. When when

373
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:18,720
Speaker 4: you got to pay attention to forty three, fifty one

374
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 4: and fifty eight, Blake Cashman. I'm not going to say

375
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 4: he played the best game of his career because I

376
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:25,359
Speaker 4: didn't watch a lot of it from Houston or with

377
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 4: the Jets. Kat Cashman was in it, man, Yeah, I

378
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:30,440
Speaker 4: mean he was into it physically.

379
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 1: Feen fifteen tackles all over the.

380
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:36,639
Speaker 4: Place, right, But see the previous week they they the

381
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:42,200
Speaker 4: Chargers previous game, they used that Matt Locke mostly strictly

382
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 4: to run up the middle take out cashman. Okay, And

383
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:48,720
Speaker 4: I don't know if I'm right with this or not,

384
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 4: and if I'm wrong, I apologize, But in watching that

385
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:57,160
Speaker 4: back okay, when Pace was in the game, they they

386
00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:01,520
Speaker 4: would use plays with that four four fallback Matt Lock,

387
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:05,399
Speaker 4: the Boise State kid, where I just think the belief was,

388
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:10,720
Speaker 4: if we take out fifty one, zero will make mistakes

389
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 4: more than he won't.

390
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 1: See what I'm saying there, I do see that.

391
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, And there were a couple of times where Ivan

392
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 4: Pace Junior, I mean he stayed blocked for an hour. Yeah,

393
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:23,679
Speaker 4: so you got Matt lockemashing into fifty one. So now

394
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 4: it's heading towards Zero, who's really good against the run

395
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:30,200
Speaker 4: when he's not blocked, couldn't get up blocks, And there

396
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:34,919
Speaker 4: goes Vidal or there goes that former commander backup. So

397
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 4: there's just so much intricate stuff that goes into this.

398
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:40,080
Speaker 4: It's just like you know, when I asked heinse about

399
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:42,680
Speaker 4: the fighting, the panic and no, no, no, When I asked,

400
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 4: heinse about all right, so your your PK it was

401
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 4: good last night, was getting better. But you know, if

402
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 4: you want to attack a team's power play, how do

403
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:57,400
Speaker 4: you do so without becoming loose in other areas well?

404
00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:00,639
Speaker 4: That was his longest answer of the seven, eight or

405
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 4: nine that I unfurled because he got in the weeds.

406
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 1: And it maybe coach speak to some.

407
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:09,440
Speaker 4: It's fascinating to me because I just I never played

408
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:11,880
Speaker 4: hockey and I just don't know a lot of that stuff.

409
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 4: Same thing with meshing all of this together to get

410
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:22,120
Speaker 4: hardgrave on a big one, meshing whatever together to get

411
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:25,720
Speaker 4: golf think thinking now here comes twenty two. Oh wait,

412
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:29,679
Speaker 4: he's not coming extra beat Bam d Redmon nails him.

413
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:33,639
Speaker 4: It's just that that was, you know, off the trading deadline,

414
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 4: just just to land the plane on your original question,

415
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,800
Speaker 4: Nord and I didn't text about it, didn't talk about it,

416
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:42,440
Speaker 4: didn't bring it up on the radio. And it's not

417
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 4: because you know, we don't think there's anything that can

418
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 4: be done to fortify, amplify, and or improve this team

419
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:53,240
Speaker 4: is when healthy. We like our squad. Yes, and the

420
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:56,879
Speaker 4: A topics JJ McCarthy, you know, win or lose every game.

421
00:20:57,240 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 1: The rest we winner lose these games the rest of

422
00:20:59,520 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 1: the way.

423
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:03,159
Speaker 4: Well that that, yes, that that has a topic to it,

424
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:06,200
Speaker 4: for sure, but the capital a topic is the maturation

425
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:10,439
Speaker 4: of a franchise quarterback and that you know, so what

426
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 4: goes into that to fortify that.

427
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 1: We like the moving company.

428
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:18,359
Speaker 4: We like the tight end specifically when Oliver plays, but

429
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 4: the net and ere A sect gave everything they had,

430
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:23,480
Speaker 4: specifically the net to help with that running game. We

431
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 4: like our one to two poppet running back specifically when

432
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:30,120
Speaker 4: Ham is active for pass protection. And we and we

433
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:33,240
Speaker 4: like our top four wide receivers, so we like our squad.

434
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 4: All right, what about the defense, Well, I mean it's

435
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 4: Hardgrave needed that game well, but it's also unrealistic too.

436
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:46,879
Speaker 4: I mean it's I can't say it's unrealistic because the

437
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:48,879
Speaker 4: Eagles have done it and they won the super Bowl.

438
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:52,359
Speaker 4: But to have the salary cap mesh with the picks

439
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:56,680
Speaker 4: that you have, meshed with what personnel knows the next

440
00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:59,200
Speaker 4: two drafts look like, because they look that far.

441
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:01,160
Speaker 1: Down the road and we don't don't nine to noon

442
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 1: at least to have.

443
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:05,200
Speaker 4: An all star team, I mean that that'd be great,

444
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 4: you know, And and Howie Roseman and and or your

445
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 4: guy a less Need with the l a Rams bleep

446
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 4: them picks, right, but they they got the money, Okay,

447
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 4: they but it doesn't always work that way. It's risky

448
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:20,800
Speaker 4: when you run businesses that way, and and I just

449
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 4: don't think that's the right way to run the business

450
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 4: here and now the Rams have regenerated themselves with terrific

451
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:29,440
Speaker 4: drafting over the last three or four years. Eles and

452
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:36,359
Speaker 4: and Iversation Eagles, the Rams drafting with the picks they've

453
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 4: had in the middle rounds, and on Saturday, I just stay, yeah,

454
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 4: that's it.

455
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna give you a couple of collaps and

456
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:45,480
Speaker 1: remove on something else.

457
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 2: Like I don't actively root for people to fail, but

458
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:51,800
Speaker 2: when less need so arrogantly after winning the I hated

459
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:52,560
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl.

460
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 1: F them picks, is what he says.

461
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:57,879
Speaker 2: There was part of me like, okay, reap what you

462
00:22:57,960 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 2: saw me too. You got the Lombardi, which I mean

463
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:03,639
Speaker 2: incredibly jealous of. Right, but let's see how that goes. Well,

464
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:06,120
Speaker 2: it's gone fantastically. Yeah, they might go to the Super

465
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 2: Bowl this year. And so yes, the Vikings quiet at

466
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:13,200
Speaker 2: the trade deadline, but many picks, I'm telling.

467
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:15,119
Speaker 4: You right now, many picks and whether I have steam

468
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 4: or not, I'm telling you right now Stafford and this

469
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:25,959
Speaker 4: is in no way encouraging egregious or below board hits.

470
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 4: And it's not at all. I'm just saying at this

471
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:33,840
Speaker 4: stage of his career, he's won. And I think they

472
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 4: know this too. He is one blind side bad hit

473
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:41,960
Speaker 4: from the whole thing being over. Just think far twenty

474
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 4: ten Hardfield College Stadium. You know, now, woot and throw

475
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:48,159
Speaker 4: him down. But I mean, when you get to that

476
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:52,439
Speaker 4: stage of your career, your life and with your age, he.

477
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:55,360
Speaker 1: Can take as much. It takes just the right.

478
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:58,199
Speaker 4: One and he is one of the Matthew Stafford is

479
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:01,639
Speaker 4: one of the toughest players in the history of the

480
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:02,760
Speaker 4: National Football League.

481
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:05,200
Speaker 2: I think he actually played the majority of a season

482
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:08,920
Speaker 2: with what Carson Wentz is now having surgery on. In fact,

483
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 2: he's had shoulder issues, He's played with back issues.

484
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:15,400
Speaker 4: He's tough as nails. Right, So they you know, they

485
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 4: they're very good. Poogle with Davante has really really come together.

486
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 4: Kyron Williams scores every game. Their offensive line, I don't

487
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 4: think it's the greatest, but they make the best with it.

488
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:30,320
Speaker 4: By the way they scheme plays. Uh, they're they're they're

489
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:34,399
Speaker 4: a handful, but they they McVeigh if you got him

490
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:36,600
Speaker 4: to open a vein and like, you know, the truth

491
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:39,920
Speaker 4: serum bit was in him and you're asking about Stafford,

492
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:43,440
Speaker 4: they're they they're sweating that that there's a bad step

493
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:46,680
Speaker 4: or a knee twist, or a bend over the wrong way,

494
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 4: back titans up, or the wrong kind of hit because

495
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 4: Stafford is right at the at the finish line.

496
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 2: You know the Rams, by the way, who might be

497
00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:59,680
Speaker 2: at the finish line with the QB there. However this year,

498
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:03,920
Speaker 2: yeah they have they got two first rounders next year

499
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 2: geez as well. So okay, I don't know what the

500
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 2: QB situation looks like. Wow in twenty twenty six.

501
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:11,639
Speaker 4: I mean, if they time that thing up so they

502
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 4: can have two first round picks. Oh, it's the Falcons

503
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 4: one too. What if the Falcons fall off? Are you

504
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:17,560
Speaker 4: kidding me with that?

505
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 1: I'll make moves and get up to the top three

506
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 1: if the Falcons. If the Falcons fall off, their first

507
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:23,160
Speaker 1: round is going to be a nice one.

508
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 3: Wow.

509
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:27,880
Speaker 2: And however, things shake out for the Rams, which which

510
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:30,920
Speaker 2: kind of led me down the road again like Boe Birds, NFC.

511
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:35,359
Speaker 2: Everybody's got Wartz like the five win Panthers.

512
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:40,200
Speaker 5: And Young and the shotgun snap to Young, Blitz coming

513
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:43,320
Speaker 5: Young in trouble and he's sacked. The ball comes out

514
00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 5: of the ten yard line. It's loose at the five

515
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:47,960
Speaker 5: and recovered at the two by Collins and he.

516
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:50,000
Speaker 1: Rolls into the end zone for a touchdown.

517
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:54,040
Speaker 5: It was Josh Sweat, the newcomer who knocked it out

518
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:58,119
Speaker 5: and Saban Collins recovers it in scores and the Cardinals

519
00:25:58,200 --> 00:25:59,240
Speaker 5: lead six to nothing.

520
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 1: I mean worse too.

521
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:03,440
Speaker 2: Super happy that the Panthers have their fifth win by

522
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:05,960
Speaker 2: beating the Green Bay Packers. There's no doubt about that.

523
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:08,439
Speaker 2: But the team can't throw the ball. It's Rico dudel

524
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 2: Chewba Hubbard or bust. They ran it up on the

525
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:13,200
Speaker 2: Falcons early on. I know that they ran for four

526
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty five yards on the ground. And two

527
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:18,160
Speaker 2: close wins of the Dolphins and the Cowboys at home.

528
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:20,639
Speaker 2: Beat the Jets in a slog, beat the pack in

529
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:23,240
Speaker 2: a slog. They should be proud of their five wins.

530
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 2: JC Horn and Derek Brown looked like they're balling, but

531
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:29,960
Speaker 2: bad turnovers. You heard the highlight there from Dave Pash

532
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 2: I think that was Cards radio. And they can't chase

533
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:35,320
Speaker 2: well in games because they can't move the ball through

534
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 2: the air. They love Ted McMillan. Maybe they wish they

535
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 2: had dealing back. Who knows what is it? Xavier Lget

536
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:44,439
Speaker 2: I can't rely on him from fantasy perspective, certainly, but

537
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:47,200
Speaker 2: Niners rams Bucks a couple of times in the Seahawks.

538
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:49,680
Speaker 2: I mean, when you're looking at this muddy NFC, here's

539
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:51,480
Speaker 2: what the Vikings need to do. They need to hop,

540
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:53,960
Speaker 2: skip and jump three teams. That's what they need to do.

541
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:56,680
Speaker 2: So they're not looking they need to beat the Ravens.

542
00:26:56,800 --> 00:27:00,120
Speaker 2: That's the a topic certainly, But in a muddy NFE

543
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 2: they got a hop skip and jump three teams. Well,

544
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 2: the Carolina Panthers, well that's the first one on the

545
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:09,520
Speaker 2: list and they certainly full of warts, will be jumped.

546
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:10,680
Speaker 1: How about these Bears.

547
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:14,160
Speaker 4: We have a Tim Jones fighting wide receiver left, three

548
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:17,440
Speaker 4: receivers right, third and five from the Bears thirteen Chicago

549
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:18,160
Speaker 4: russ Is four.

550
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:23,880
Speaker 1: McCarthy's great drop to the end zone and touchdown.

551
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 4: Justin Jefferson catches J. J. McCarthy's first National Football League

552
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:34,560
Speaker 4: touchdown and it's seventeen twelve.

553
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:37,639
Speaker 1: But the Bears are five and three PA.

554
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:41,440
Speaker 2: They have plenty of wards their secondary, like Jalen Johnson's out.

555
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:44,159
Speaker 2: I think basically for the year, Kyler Gordon is on

556
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:48,119
Speaker 2: ir They just lostdo Dengbo Lavelle's favorite player for the

557
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:51,720
Speaker 2: entire season. And I think the Tyreek Stevens in this

558
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:54,600
Speaker 2: last game that that's now. They gave up forty some

559
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 2: odd points, animals gave up five five hundred passing yards

560
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:00,480
Speaker 2: and four touchdowns. Something out of box ofized bumpy here

561
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:03,639
Speaker 2: Joe Flacca, right, they did in the top three corners

562
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:05,920
Speaker 2: for the Bears were out last game.

563
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:06,880
Speaker 1: Hey what happened?

564
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:09,960
Speaker 4: Well, Flaco at age forty almost went for five hundred

565
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:13,760
Speaker 4: and four. Oh wow, they won, No, beloved, bj found

566
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:16,240
Speaker 4: a way to get the money late with the Michigan rookie.

567
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:19,040
Speaker 1: Loveland, But just to win that game.

568
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:22,399
Speaker 4: In those circumstances when you have a new coach and

569
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 4: you're playing new players, that stuff is really really big.

570
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 1: Well typically, I mean you see some shootouts.

571
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:31,840
Speaker 2: You saw the Cowboys Packers tie earlier this year forty forty.

572
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:34,000
Speaker 1: Jordan Love missed that. I was in Europe. Oh you

573
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:35,760
Speaker 1: missed it. Okay, that was one of those one thirty

574
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 1: in the morning clips, but it was. It was just

575
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 1: an insane exercise.

576
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:42,520
Speaker 2: And we can get to the Packers because this is

577
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:44,640
Speaker 2: really what it all boils down to. I think the

578
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:47,680
Speaker 2: Bears are going to fade. I mean, backers are going

579
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:51,479
Speaker 2: to beat the Eagles. QB's making dumb mistakes. Swift him

580
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 2: anung guy. It's a homeless man's version of Gibbs in Montgomery.

581
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:58,960
Speaker 2: The defensive injuries were made to persist. Absolutely, yes, oh

582
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:01,400
Speaker 2: look at that, thank you. I can smell that through

583
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 2: the microphone and it is delicious. But the schedule does

584
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:08,480
Speaker 2: them no favor. There's no more Cowboys and Raiders than Saints.

585
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:11,400
Speaker 2: They'll beat the Giants. Problem. That's good for but that's

586
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:13,880
Speaker 2: good for Green Bay. I'm talking about I'm still talking

587
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:16,160
Speaker 2: about the Bears bad, but I get what you're saying.

588
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 2: I just think that the Bears are the Bears ultimately

589
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 2: are going to fade. Lack of health and lack of

590
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 2: consistency on offense. And you watch games like that, whether

591
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:28,120
Speaker 2: it was that forty forty Cowboys Packers game, but specifically

592
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:31,880
Speaker 2: back to the Bears, it took a it took Colston

593
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 2: Loveland bouncing off of safety with one of the laziest

594
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:39,040
Speaker 2: tackle attempts you'll ever freaking see in my life.

595
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 4: I have not seen the game winning touchdown. It was

596
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:43,760
Speaker 4: from like sixty right.

597
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 2: It was it was fifty eight to fifty nine yards

598
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:48,320
Speaker 2: something like that, and loved Loveland. It's a nice pass

599
00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 2: from Caleb Williams, and their clock's going to be ticking down.

600
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:54,040
Speaker 2: I think they're going to have to spike it, possibly

601
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 2: get a field goal off. But in the end, one

602
00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:59,360
Speaker 2: of the laziest tackle attempts you're going to see from

603
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:02,440
Speaker 2: a safety. Loveland was game for it, bounced off of him,

604
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:04,160
Speaker 2: made a turn and he was off to the house.

605
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:07,400
Speaker 2: But I just the Bears still not getting what they

606
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:09,360
Speaker 2: need to out of the QB still in a stage

607
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:12,120
Speaker 2: of growth, and that's a team you have to hop

608
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:14,960
Speaker 2: skipping a jump, which which leads me pa again going

609
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:18,240
Speaker 2: back to my earlier question, I think the North is

610
00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:20,960
Speaker 2: the answer. You think, who's gonna send three? Will it

611
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:23,800
Speaker 2: be the NFC North or will it be the NFC West?

612
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:26,880
Speaker 2: Because the Rams right now, as they've gotten healthy and

613
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:30,680
Speaker 2: they find their way. Whoever wins the West, I think

614
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:33,640
Speaker 2: at least one's coming with them. These Niners have one

615
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 2: of the easiest schedules, and they can flame out in January,

616
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:40,080
Speaker 2: no doubt about it. You know, mac Jones turns back

617
00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:43,760
Speaker 2: into a pumpkin, but he's figuring out how to win games.

618
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:46,000
Speaker 2: And then Seattle, Man, we're gonna get to see it

619
00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:49,640
Speaker 2: in person. I wonder if they're gonna have trouble with

620
00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:50,600
Speaker 2: Sam down the stretch.

621
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 1: I wonder.

622
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:55,720
Speaker 4: I'm glad you said that. Okay, Week number one, they

623
00:30:56,080 --> 00:31:00,480
Speaker 4: host to San Francisco Seattle. Yeah, and the forty Niners

624
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:04,120
Speaker 4: have Bosa, they have Warner, they have their dogs. They're

625
00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:06,120
Speaker 4: still waiting for Ayyuk. But they got kittled and they

626
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:09,680
Speaker 4: got pretty all right. San Francisco beat them at Seattle.

627
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:13,960
Speaker 4: Then you go to Pittsburgh and okay, you win at

628
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:16,760
Speaker 4: Pittsburgh thirty one seventeen Pittsburgh.

629
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:19,280
Speaker 1: I mean the Pittsburgh.

630
00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:21,400
Speaker 4: Was right to be beaten by the Vikings when the

631
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 4: Vikings were battling health issues at an eight out of ten,

632
00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 4: So I think Pittsburgh decent but not a world beater.

633
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:30,480
Speaker 1: Agree agree? All right?

634
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 4: Then they beat New Orleans, they went to Arizona, won

635
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:37,120
Speaker 4: it in the last two minutes of twenty three to twenty.

636
00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 4: They then hosted Tampa Bay and they got beat at

637
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:44,719
Speaker 4: home when Tampa Bay was more healthy than it is

638
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 4: now because of this.

639
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:49,280
Speaker 6: Second down and one from his own thirty two Charboney

640
00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:51,719
Speaker 6: stays in the backfield, slots on the left side and

641
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:53,400
Speaker 6: the right side long count.

642
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:54,280
Speaker 1: Here comes the rush.

643
00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:56,320
Speaker 6: Sam gets the ball away and throws it in the

644
00:31:56,320 --> 00:32:01,080
Speaker 6: middle of the field and it's intercepted. It's inter did by

645
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:04,080
Speaker 6: Lavonte David, the inside linebacker.

646
00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 1: Pressure was coming.

647
00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:09,720
Speaker 6: Sam tried to fire it in there in between defenders

648
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:15,120
Speaker 6: won too many times. Oh my word, And that's picked

649
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:17,960
Speaker 6: off right in the middle of the field and well within.

650
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:19,720
Speaker 1: Field goal range.

651
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:22,400
Speaker 2: And they kicked a field goal and Tampa beat the

652
00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 2: Seahawks at woman Wow.

653
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:26,800
Speaker 1: That do So That's how that bad Boy ended. And

654
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:29,080
Speaker 1: it was an absolute shootout. I think it was thirty

655
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:31,240
Speaker 1: eight to thirty five. The final maybe.

656
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:35,360
Speaker 4: Hold on Sam Darnold Gohost under center, takes the snap

657
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:38,480
Speaker 4: on perst and ten play action. He's able to run

658
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 4: away from a couple of lions were now, but then

659
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:43,600
Speaker 4: he's taken down back at the three yard line. Sam

660
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:47,320
Speaker 4: Donald sack for the forty seventh time this year it's

661
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:51,959
Speaker 4: a loft of seventeen yards and it's Chris Smith in

662
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:55,320
Speaker 4: his first goal a year from Notre Dame. Those guys

663
00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:58,840
Speaker 4: playing because of all the injuries they have. He's a Detroit,

664
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:02,240
Speaker 4: Michigan native, and his friends and family are going not

665
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:08,600
Speaker 4: seventeen yard loss. Now they Seattle went to Jacksonville and

666
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:11,720
Speaker 4: I watched that was the Vikings bye week. I watched

667
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:15,400
Speaker 4: basically that entire game, super ugly game. They were in

668
00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:18,480
Speaker 4: charge every step of the way. So then after that

669
00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:23,959
Speaker 4: they beat the Texans. They crushed the Commanders without Jayden,

670
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:28,480
Speaker 4: without Jayden Daniels, and now they have the Arizona Cardinals

671
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:31,520
Speaker 4: at home with Perset. After that at the Rams at

672
00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:36,880
Speaker 4: the Titans, Vikings at home at Atlanta Indianapolis in Seattle.

673
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:40,840
Speaker 4: Then they finished with the Rams at home at Carolina

674
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:43,600
Speaker 4: at San Francisco. So still a ton of the story

675
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:46,320
Speaker 4: to be shared here. But the point I'm getting at

676
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:48,680
Speaker 4: is I just don't really know, you know, like when

677
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:51,480
Speaker 4: they've won games and how they've won them, what they've beaten. Well,

678
00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:55,440
Speaker 4: let's not forget the fourteen win Minnesota Vikings last year,

679
00:33:56,560 --> 00:34:01,400
Speaker 4: were the record was inflated and got a little puffy

680
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:06,640
Speaker 4: by sweeping the AFC South. Yeah, okay, And and these

681
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:10,560
Speaker 4: guys are gonna sweep the AFC Salth, So I can

682
00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:12,360
Speaker 4: I think I've seen this story before.

683
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:16,240
Speaker 1: I just wonder how it ends. We'll see, right, that's

684
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:16,759
Speaker 1: that's the thing.

685
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:19,280
Speaker 2: And I'm already I've already seen a couple of text

686
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:23,440
Speaker 2: message in because of course is we've we've had the

687
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:26,040
Speaker 2: the issues at QB this year. People are looking out

688
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:28,520
Speaker 2: west and they're talking about Sam Darnold, and I think

689
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:30,720
Speaker 2: Donald has done some terrific things.

690
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:32,920
Speaker 4: Uh so, how are you going to have Donald for

691
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:35,160
Speaker 4: the Seahawks? You got to give him a hundred million

692
00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:35,960
Speaker 4: dollars minimum.

693
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:39,040
Speaker 2: But but if this persists, I agree with you. I

694
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:41,640
Speaker 2: I don't think that that was ever a feasible option.

695
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:44,120
Speaker 2: You can, you can have a Daniel Jones conversation if

696
00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:46,000
Speaker 2: you want to go back in time. But I don't

697
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:48,920
Speaker 2: think Donald was really ever in the cards. And but

698
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 2: with that said, there is the see we made this

699
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:54,239
Speaker 2: grand plan to move on for JJ. Look what he's

700
00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:56,759
Speaker 2: doing out in Seattle. And I would actually encourage people.

701
00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:59,279
Speaker 2: I mean it's difficult to do, but I would look

702
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:02,960
Speaker 2: more closely these games. He is absolutely on one at

703
00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:06,000
Speaker 2: times and that that matchup he has with Jackson Smith

704
00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:09,680
Speaker 2: and Jigba is maybe the best quarterback to receiver connection

705
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:11,600
Speaker 2: in the NFL in twenty twenty five.

706
00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:14,080
Speaker 1: There's no doubt about it, like him and Addison last year.

707
00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:19,800
Speaker 1: But exactly exactly yes, a slot. Absolutely, it was terrific

708
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:21,480
Speaker 1: times all receivers.

709
00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:24,279
Speaker 4: Donald steps away from pressure for a second, but then

710
00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:28,839
Speaker 4: he is sacked. Darnald back to pass the pocket is claustrophobic,

711
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:31,120
Speaker 4: getting stuck, steps up in the pocket.

712
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:32,200
Speaker 1: He's holding it too long.

713
00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:35,640
Speaker 4: Front Rowing bounces around in the pocket and he sacked

714
00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:36,439
Speaker 4: for a sixth time.

715
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:38,719
Speaker 1: The Rams have hit the pick six.

716
00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:43,000
Speaker 4: With sack Sam bouncing around, looking holding the ball and getting.

717
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:45,640
Speaker 1: De Royd again. Okay, So anyway, I.

718
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:49,880
Speaker 2: Just I would encourage there there are there are potential

719
00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:53,440
Speaker 2: issues that could arise for the Seahawks. I think I

720
00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:56,080
Speaker 2: really like the coach. I think the defense is balling

721
00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:58,600
Speaker 2: out right now big time. All they do is win

722
00:35:58,680 --> 00:35:59,160
Speaker 2: on the road.

723
00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:03,520
Speaker 4: By the way, from seven is the sneakiest best front

724
00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:05,600
Speaker 4: seven in the NFL, sneakiest.

725
00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:09,160
Speaker 1: So Seahawks are game, man. It's not about ripping the team.

726
00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:12,880
Speaker 2: It's not even about trying to intentionally drag Sam Darnold.

727
00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:16,480
Speaker 2: Just watch those games closely, Yeah, and just see that

728
00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:19,360
Speaker 2: some of the works that existed here a year ago.

729
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:24,919
Speaker 4: They ain't They haven't left the bet. The first part

730
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:27,880
Speaker 4: of the bet is settled in a few weeks, Okay,

731
00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:30,920
Speaker 4: So go ahead and bring forty three, fifty one, fifty eight,

732
00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:34,279
Speaker 4: ninety seven, twenty two, seven and two. Go ahead and

733
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:37,560
Speaker 4: bring them to the Cappuccino Capitol. And I'll tell you

734
00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:40,719
Speaker 4: this right now. If I'm the Seahawks, I make it

735
00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:44,480
Speaker 4: a color rush, and I wear all navy blue and

736
00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:48,480
Speaker 4: emerald green, because you don't want to see the back

737
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:52,040
Speaker 4: of some players pants. I always love that after they

738
00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:54,279
Speaker 4: see a week of Flores film.

739
00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:56,840
Speaker 1: So Brian to be ready for that, so woke Kevin.

740
00:36:57,040 --> 00:36:59,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's it's gonna be a fun one on

741
00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:01,919
Speaker 2: the road at Seattle in the end, though, I guess

742
00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:06,440
Speaker 2: landing the plane landing the Cessina on this who's gonna

743
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:07,080
Speaker 2: send three?

744
00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:07,600
Speaker 3: Yeah?

745
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:11,360
Speaker 1: Their division, our division, and we got just one of

746
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:11,799
Speaker 1: those two.

747
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:12,239
Speaker 6: We got it.

748
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:14,080
Speaker 2: We got to do our part, man, because one of

749
00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:16,040
Speaker 2: them will have three teams in the playoffs.

750
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:18,120
Speaker 1: It was the North last year. Maybe it'll be the

751
00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:18,720
Speaker 1: North again.

752
00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:21,040
Speaker 4: I think it'll be the North again. I mean it's

753
00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:22,640
Speaker 4: you know, I'm not gonna go. We don't have time

754
00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:24,560
Speaker 4: to go through green Bay schedules stuff like that. Just

755
00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:27,319
Speaker 4: here's the deal with green Bay. If there's a team

756
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:30,120
Speaker 4: above five hundred, they're gonna win. If it's a team

757
00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:33,279
Speaker 4: five hundred or below, they're gonna lose, or though that

758
00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:35,040
Speaker 4: team will play them to the wire.

759
00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:40,600
Speaker 1: So Monday Night, Eagles w the following week at MetLife

760
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:40,879
Speaker 1: and the.

761
00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:44,920
Speaker 4: Giants, you're l your Lions take into the season, you know,

762
00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:46,560
Speaker 4: And we joked about it last week.

763
00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:49,319
Speaker 1: All right, now, we we were at the midway point.

764
00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:52,640
Speaker 4: Like I said yesterday, the best of the best put

765
00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:55,719
Speaker 4: the pedal to the medal the weekend of Thanksgiving, the

766
00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:59,399
Speaker 4: Sunday after Thanksgiving, big sprint. And there are some things

767
00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:02,600
Speaker 4: with the Lion that I saw this last game that

768
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:07,560
Speaker 4: were dramatically different than what I saw last year when

769
00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:11,520
Speaker 4: they were working through a lot of problems. Really galvanized

770
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:14,600
Speaker 4: with these Chris Smiths and these these no names that

771
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:16,960
Speaker 4: you know that that that just aren't playing much and

772
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:19,400
Speaker 4: they're playing out of their skin. Yeah, well then that

773
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:23,480
Speaker 4: bubble burst against Washington should have burst against us. But

774
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:27,480
Speaker 4: Detroit is anything but a cinch to win this division.

775
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:31,360
Speaker 1: Well, everybody's got wartz. The division is fun.

776
00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:34,359
Speaker 2: Frankly, we're only having this conversation because we just beat

777
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:37,280
