1
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:09,879
Speaker 1: This is straight Fire with Jason McIntyre.

2
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 2: What is up? Straight Firefam, It's me Jason McIntyre. Straight

00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:27,560
Speaker 2: Everybody's back. The holiday break is over. If you still

5
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 2: have Christmas decorations, you may want to get those down.

6
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 2: And most importantly, the NFL playoffs are here. The brackets

7
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:37,640
Speaker 2: are set. I have already fired four bets on wild

8
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 2: Card weekend. It looks like a decent card. I'm very

9
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 2: excited for it. We'll get to that shortly. Good to

10
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 2: have Rob g back in the fold. We're going over

11
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:51,560
Speaker 2: the NFL topics and you know, Rob of course loves

12
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 2: the NBA like I do. And there's some NBA stuff happening.

13
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 2: We're just not going to get into it now. I

14
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 2: will say I ran in to an NBA assistant coach

15
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 2: at the car wash on Friday and this guy, you know,

16
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 2: I didn't know it was him at the beginning, but

17
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 2: this like, h I feel bad outing his vehicle, but

18
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 2: he this large individual gets out of a cyber truck

19
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 2: and it was like all juiced up like Matt Black.

20
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:21,959
Speaker 2: I think I'm pretty sure it was. And you know

21
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 2: he's on his phone and I'm like, I know that guy.

22
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:28,039
Speaker 2: Oh okay, and so I, you know, have my car

23
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 2: go through. So I see him sitting and waiting. He's

24
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 2: on his phone and I rolled right up give him

25
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 2: the head nod. He gives me the head nod. I'm like,

26
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:37,480
Speaker 2: what's up, man? How are you? Should I say his

27
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 2: name Robert No, I don't think he's gonna care. You know,

28
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:46,679
Speaker 2: Brian Shaw, former Laker great played with and Shack and

29
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 2: he was super friendly. I was like, yeah, you know,

30
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 2: blah blah blah, I'm on blah blah blah. And we

31
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 2: start getting into it and I'm like, so, uh, what'd

32
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 2: you think of the Berkley stuff? And he takes like

33
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 2: a beat and then I go I just like kind

34
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 2: of jump in. I'm like, I'm Jason Monroe. By the way,

35
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 2: my Barkley butcherd my last name. I'm Jason McIntyre. He's like, oh,

36
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 2: you're the guy. I was like yeah, and he starts

37
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:14,079
Speaker 2: laughing and we start talking about it, and listen, I

38
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 2: will say Brian Shaw was super friendly, extremely nice. I

39
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 2: now know three guys who I've talked to on the

40
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 2: Clipper staff and it's just a super nice guy. He

41
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 2: was extremely in a cordial man. It was a totally

42
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 2: cordial conversation, very defensive rob about nineties two thousands basketball

43
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:34,800
Speaker 2: of course, like he's got I mean, it was just

44
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 2: it was a little comical and yeah, I'll just it

45
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 2: was a friendly conversation. We had like ten minutes a

46
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 2: banter while the cars were getting dried. Super friendly. But

47
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,919
Speaker 2: I would just say, he he definitely is defending Charles

48
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 2: Barkley and he thinks the Kobe shack Lakers would smoke

49
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 2: the Kadi Warriors with Curry. And I was just like,

50
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 2: come on, bro, anyway, do you guys don't care about that?

51
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,359
Speaker 2: So Sunday Week eighteen, I will preface this. I don't

52
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 2: feel comfortable talking about anything that happened on Sunday. My

53
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:07,359
Speaker 2: daughter had a volleyball tournament in Anaheim. We race back.

54
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 2: I coached two youth basketball games. We got we won

55
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 2: both games. And then I get home and I'm able

56
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 2: to fire up Lions Viking. I'm expecting a great game.

57
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 2: I had the Vikings in the contest. Vikings continue to

58
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,640
Speaker 2: shoot their foot in the red zone and Detroit eventually

59
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 2: pulls away in the fourth quarter. The Jamir Gibbs game

60
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 2: and the Lions get the dub They are the number

61
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 2: one seed in the NFC fifteen and two. Just an

62
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 2: unbelievable season for the Lions. They get a buye in

63
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 2: the NFC. The Vikings get sent to face the Rams

64
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 2: at Sofi. I'm already efforting tickets. Should be a hell

65
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 2: of a game on that's the Monday night game, Vikings

66
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 2: at Rams. I gotta be honest. I was shocked the

67
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 2: Vikings were favored. I instantly took the juice on the Rams.

68
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 2: Plus three was like, well, minus one thirty five, and

69
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 2: then I was like, you know what, I'll take that,

70
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 2: and I'll take the plus two and a half at

71
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 2: minus one eleven or whatever it was. So I'm on

72
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 2: the Rams in that game. Instant bet. And it's not

73
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 2: like a cell of the Vikings. They had an outstanding season.

74
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 2: They were tremendous. I think the reality of the Vikings

75
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,279
Speaker 2: is they're probably closer to the team we saw against

76
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 2: the Lions than the team that smashed the Packers a

77
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:28,720
Speaker 2: week before. You know, and now they have to go

78
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 2: and face the Rams again. Remember they lost to the Rams.

79
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:33,160
Speaker 2: I think it was Thursday night football. There was a

80
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 2: questionable face mask in the end zone. So I like

81
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:38,480
Speaker 2: the Rams in that one. And again I'm not I

82
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:40,359
Speaker 2: don't think the Vikings are crap. Obviously, they had an

83
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 2: outstanding season. Fourteen and three is nothing to scoff at.

84
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 2: It's just a tough draw. It's just a difficult one.

85
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 2: And I didn't like what I saw from Sam Darnoldy

86
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 2: picked a bad time to have his worst game of

87
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 2: the season, or close to it, folks. He was eighteen

88
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 2: of forty one, eighteen to forty one. Now, I don't

89
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:00,719
Speaker 2: want to totally say it's all his fault. Aaron Glenn

90
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 2: did cook up a very good game plan and Donald

91
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 2: just looked confused and rattled. I'm sure some of the

92
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,279
Speaker 2: stuff that was put on tape by Aaron Glenn will

93
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:12,159
Speaker 2: be used by the Rams next week. And I don't know, Rob,

94
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 2: I just you know, I never bought into Sam Donald

95
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,480
Speaker 2: as an MVP candidate. He had a great season, that's okay,

96
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 2: but I think we saw some limitations.

97
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:20,480
Speaker 3: He had.

98
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 2: All his dudes, Aaron Jones, Cam Akers, Jefferson, Jordan Addison

99
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 2: was held with one catch on six targets for zero yards.

100
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 2: And remember this is a Lion's team that's so beat up.

101
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 2: So Rob, I don't know. I'm kind of off the Vikings.

102
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,360
Speaker 2: I thought they had a great season, something to build on,

103
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 2: but I had I didn't believe any of the stuff

104
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 2: I was seeing. I'm not gonna call out reporters. Last

105
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 2: week Rob that claimed, Hey, the Vikings could keep Sam Donald,

106
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 2: keep Daniel Jones as the backup, and trade JJ McCarthy

107
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:57,280
Speaker 2: for a whole. And I read that, I'm like, that's insanity,

108
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 2: and I'm obviously listening ca I do this with Coward.

109
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna call him out. He was pushing that eggle.

110
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,600
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna go totally blasting. I was like, I

111
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 2: don't think there's anything to that. The reality is, you

112
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:13,159
Speaker 2: really think that a quarterback coming off two knee surgeries

113
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:14,840
Speaker 2: I think, or maybe one was a surgery, when was

114
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 2: a cleanup, It's gonna have a ton of value on

115
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:20,720
Speaker 2: the market after sitting out a year. Who's dealing for that?

116
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:23,160
Speaker 2: If you think there's gonna be a hole for that.

117
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 2: And then this idea that Donald is like a franchise quarterback.

118
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 2: I don't think he's Baker Mayfield. I'm not baster Donald yet.

119
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:33,040
Speaker 2: Excellent season, got a lot of talent. He's with Kevin O'Connell.

120
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:36,159
Speaker 2: He's got great talent around him. I think, in my

121
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 2: opinion from what I've seen, brock Purty's more talented the

122
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 2: same Donald. I know that's a hot take. And Donald

123
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,839
Speaker 2: went top five and Party was the last pick, not

124
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 2: a knock. I've just seen more from Purdy and this

125
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 2: was Donald's outlier year. I think he can have a

126
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:55,159
Speaker 2: solid season. I think he could be somewhere between Baker

127
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 2: Mayfield and like Gino Smith and listen, those guys are

128
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 2: going to the playoffs the last come years. So I

129
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 2: don't know Robot. I'm not out on the Vikings that

130
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 2: don't want to totally crap on them, but I think

131
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 2: they were a little limited.

132
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 3: This is one of those games where if you had

133
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 3: any preconceived notion about Sam Donald either direction.

134
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 4: You were justified.

135
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, because Sam Donald. If you just look at the

136
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 3: raw numbers, Okay, if you are a Sam Donald believer

137
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 3: like I am, in the first half alone, he was

138
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 3: pressure on almost sixty percent of his dropbacks. Like, I

139
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 3: don't care who Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson is.

140
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 3: None of them are going to perform under that kind

141
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 3: of pressure nobody. Okay, on the flip side, if you

142
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 3: are a Sam Donald hater. In the first half alone,

143
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 3: he was off target on fifty percent of his passes.

144
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 3: On the season. He had never had a game higher

145
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 3: than twenty two percent off target. So it was the

146
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 3: worst possible game at the worst possible time.

147
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 4: And here's another one.

148
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 3: This is to your point about you know, this game

149
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 3: was basically won and lost in the red zone because

150
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 3: the Lions converted the vikings, didn't you know, basically the

151
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 3: end of story. Sam Donald in the red zone two

152
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 3: for eleven seven yards, according to the thirty thirteam, the

153
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 3: lowest passer rating in NFL history by any quarterback who's

154
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 3: attempted at least ten passes inside the red zone. Now

155
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 3: I don't know if that's true, but when I read

156
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 3: it, it sounded true. So it's like, I don't know if

157
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 3: both statements can be true. That Sam Donald is is

158
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 3: pretty good. He just got his ass kicked by an

159
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 3: incredible defensive performance by the Detroit Lions, which I believe,

160
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 3: or if you're in this anti Sam Donald camp, he

161
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 3: became who Sam Donald has been for you know, the

162
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 3: last six seven years. He's got He's a guy with

163
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 3: a lot of talent. He's got you know, great arm strength,

164
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:52,439
Speaker 3: he's got a you know, athleticism. But his calling card

165
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:55,679
Speaker 3: up until this season was man, I'm seeing ghosts out there.

166
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 3: And that was how everybody remembered Sam Donald. That when

167
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 3: you got after him and he made him a little

168
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:05,679
Speaker 3: bit uncomfortable, he was gonna melt down faster than a

169
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 3: snow cone in Phoenix, And you know, it was just

170
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 3: one of those situations. So it's fitting though that the

171
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:17,319
Speaker 3: Minnesota Vikings this season have only lost to two teams,

172
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:22,319
Speaker 3: the Detroit Lions twice the Rams once. If things go

173
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 3: the way that we expect them to go, they're gonna

174
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 3: have to beat the Rams in the wildcard round for

175
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 3: an opportunity to face the Detroit Lions in the divisional round.

176
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 3: So I guess I would understand why you're not too

177
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:34,720
Speaker 3: high in Minnesota hitting.

178
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 1: Out the money.

179
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 2: I mean again, they're one of the bigger stories today

180
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:40,200
Speaker 2: because they had a game that mattered a lot, Like

181
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:41,960
Speaker 2: we're not going to dig into the Falcons missing the

182
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 2: playoffs and the Panthers eclipsing their win total. I thought

183
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 2: the Vikings let down at the end of Week eight

184
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 2: was significant. As good as they were the week prior

185
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 2: against the Packers, they were kind of that bad. I mean,

186
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 2: oher for four in the red zone ain't gonna cut

187
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 2: it against anybody. Now. The Rams defense is not this good,

188
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:58,199
Speaker 2: but the Lions defense ain't great.

189
00:09:58,280 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 1: Now.

190
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:00,040
Speaker 2: I'm just trying to get run up and down the

191
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:04,320
Speaker 2: field dog walked as they say bye by brock perty So,

192
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 2: I don't know, I just not a lot to be

193
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:08,559
Speaker 2: optimistic about for the Vikings.

Speaker 2: I don't know, Rob, do you want to go through

199
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 2: the wildcard lineup? Should we talk about Tyreek Hill? Should

200
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 2: do the coaching black Monday?

201
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 3: Tyreek Hill's story is wild to me.

202
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:31,959
Speaker 2: Well, it's not that wild because you know the take

203
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 2: police called and I hit one.

204
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 4: Guys.

205
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 2: You remember, you can go run the tape back in October,

206
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 2: early October, Tyreek Hill, I would move off him at

207
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 2: the deadline. I set it on the pod, set it

208
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 2: on the herd. It was to the point that a

209
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 2: bunch of Miami Dolphins bloggers picked it up and Ian

210
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 2: Rappaport took a jab at me. Tyreek Hill does not

211
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 2: want out of Miami. I saw Jason McIntyre's report AKA

212
00:10:57,880 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 2: The Big League. You know, he's said said all this.

213
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 2: It was funny and people scoffed. But you could see

214
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:04,200
Speaker 2: the writing on the wall too. It goes down. The

215
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 2: offense stinks, the backups are rotten. Tyreek got his money.

216
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 2: Now he wants a ring, right, you could see it,

217
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:11,960
Speaker 2: or another ring because he got one with the Chiefs.

218
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 2: And Tyreek comes out after the loss to the Jets,

219
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:20,960
Speaker 2: which that's a bad loss, but again they had Snoop

220
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 2: Untley going, you know, like that's not very exciting. But

221
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:26,680
Speaker 2: here's where it gets ugly for Tyreek is he decided,

222
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 2: I'm so ticked off, I don't want to go in

223
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:33,559
Speaker 2: the game. I mean, this was kind of Antonio brownish.

224
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:36,200
Speaker 2: He decided he did not want to go back in

225
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 2: the game. He was frustrated for missing the playoffs for

226
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 2: the first time in his career. He said, I don't

227
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 2: even know, broh, this is my first time I haven't

228
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 2: been in the playoffs. For me, I just have to

229
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:47,680
Speaker 2: do his best for me and my family. If that's

230
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 2: here or wherever the case may be. I'm about to

231
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 2: open that door for myself. I'm out, bro. He went

232
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 2: from like, I gotta do it first with my family.

233
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 4: I'm out.

234
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:57,319
Speaker 2: It was great playing here, but at the end of

235
00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 2: the day, I have to do his best for my career.

236
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:01,200
Speaker 2: I'm just too mych of a competitor to be here.

237
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:05,680
Speaker 2: That's hars Man. Before the season began, he got a

238
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 2: restructured deal five years, one hundred and six million. He

239
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,560
Speaker 2: has two years remaining on the extension he signed in

240
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 2: twenty twenty two. He could say all he wants. I

241
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:19,560
Speaker 2: don't know that the Dolphins are gonna move off him,

242
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 2: and I don't think he has the intestinal fortitude to

243
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 2: sit out till he gets his deal. We're seeing some

244
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 2: of this with Jimmy Butler in Miami and the heat

245
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 2: suspended him for seven games. I don't know what the

246
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 2: heat are gonna suspend Hill for. But you know, if

247
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,440
Speaker 2: you're Tyreek Hill, I think at this point you gotta wonder, like,

248
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:38,320
Speaker 2: are my best days behind me? You know, I was

249
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 2: catching passes for from Patrick Mahomes, but I turned thirty

250
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 2: one in March, and you know, receivers start to slow down. Yes,

251
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 2: even the Cheetah. Okay, this was by far his worst

252
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 2: statistical year. I'm going through. I'm pretty sure. Yeah, yeah,

253
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:57,559
Speaker 2: this is by a mile. I mean, the last two

254
00:12:57,679 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 2: years he had one hundred and nineteen catches and over

255
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 2: seven in over seventeen hundred yards.

256
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:02,679
Speaker 1: This year.

257
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 2: Garbage. I mean, coming into the Jets game seventy nine

258
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 2: for nine thirty nine and only six touchdowns, which is

259
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 2: a career low. It's not good tying for his what

260
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:16,719
Speaker 2: he did as a rookie with the Chiefs. So I

261
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:18,679
Speaker 2: don't know, Rob, I think they should have moved off

262
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 2: of him. They didn't. Now they're stuck with him and

263
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 2: now he's their headache. And I don't even know if, like,

264
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 2: is there going to be a clamor for I've got

265
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 2: to get into Tyreek kill business? Like, is anybody saying that.

266
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 3: That's a very good question, because this time a year ago,

267
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:37,680
Speaker 3: he was voted as the best player in the NFL,

268
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:40,440
Speaker 3: not the best wide receiver, not the best offensive player,

269
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:43,679
Speaker 3: the best overall player in the NFL, ahead of wait

270
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 3: where was that? Remember the NFL players vote. He was

271
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 3: ahead of Patrick Mahomes, Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen, Micah Parsons.

272
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,559
Speaker 3: You know, pick whoever your your guy, TJ, whoever your

273
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:58,080
Speaker 3: guy is. They said, no, no, no, he's the one. He's

274
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 3: the best guy. And this situation in Miami is interesting

275
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 3: because based on his comments, it seems like his issue

276
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 3: you would say, like, oh, missus Patrick Mahmes, I'm sure

277
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 3: that's part of it. But he seems to be a

278
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 3: really big fan of Tua and he's that Hey, the

279
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:17,320
Speaker 3: fact that we didn't have QB one out there for

280
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 3: a while really derailed our season, and that was a

281
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 3: big problem. His issue seems to be entirely directed at

282
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 3: Mike McDaniel and the front office, specifically the GM, whereas

283
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 3: at Chris Career. The problem, though, is after the game

284
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 3: ended on Sunday, the Dolphins team announced McDaniel and Greer

285
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 3: are going to be back for twenty twenty five. So

286
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 3: it seems like it would be untenable to have Tyreek

287
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 3: Hill there when he clearly has an issue with the

288
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 3: guys in charge. And then the problem from there is

289
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 3: whether they trade him, whether they cut him. I'm not

290
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 3: gonna cut him obviously, whatever team picks him up, his

291
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 3: app number for the next two years twenty seven point

292
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 3: seven and fifty one point nine that that's not gonna happen.

293
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 3: So someone's gonna have to trade for him, extend him,

294
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 3: do it again. And now you're pushing it off to

295
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 3: what he's thirty four to thirty five years old, Like,

296
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 3: I don't just make a run of him a year

297
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 3: or two ago. They did, they did, but he said no.

298
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 3: Remember he chose Miami because I.

299
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 2: Don't want anything to do with him at this point.

300
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 4: Right, So, like I don't know what team.

301
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 3: I mean, if you look at if you look just

302
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:28,680
Speaker 3: at the cap space, like there's there's teams that have

303
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 3: cap space. But I don't know where he would go

304
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 3: outside of maybe Washington where you could say the quarterback

305
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 3: position is an improvement or even comparable to what he

306
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 3: has in Miami, Like the Raiders don't have it. I

307
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 3: don't think New England has it, you know, I don't

308
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 3: think Chicago is it with Kayleb Williams.

309
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 2: One for you if you're Washington and you have Cliff

310
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 2: Kingsbury coming back, Jade Daniels, Terry McLaurin. Would you rather

311
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 2: go after Tyreek Hill or Deebo Samuel Oh, here's one?

312
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 3: Would you rather go after Tyreek Killer Devonte Adams.

313
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 2: But I thought he only wanted to play with.

314
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 4: Rogers's whatever, Aaron Rodgers.

315
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 2: I brought up Debo because I think he's cheaper. My

316
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 2: guess is I think Niners.

317
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think he'll be gone.

318
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 2: If the Niners keep Purty and pay him, let's just

319
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 2: say forty forty five million dollars, They're gonna have to

320
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 2: get off some guys, and I think you get off Deebo.

321
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 2: Piersall kind of flashed there late in the season. I

322
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 2: don't know if you saw his gun shot celebration. Yeah,

323
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 2: I will be back Juwan Jennings Kittle, so they could

324
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 2: still have guys and then Deebo, I think will have

325
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 2: I think he would have more value than Tyreek. That

326
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 2: would just be my guess, because you could do so

327
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 2: many more things with Debo, you know.

328
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't want to short change, and Tyreek

329
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 3: Hill is awesome, Like I don't know how much it means,

330
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 3: though he did play through a wrist injury, so that's

331
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 3: part of it. The other thing is like he just

332
00:16:57,160 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 3: he seemed very unhappy and disinterested in my hand. Like

333
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 3: it goes back to you know, the the Instagram love

334
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 3: to Patrick Mahomes and these really weird videos that he

335
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:08,919
Speaker 3: was sharing on his stories, like, man, I miss this

336
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:11,679
Speaker 3: and this is just it was just really awkward, like

337
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 3: for anybody in Miami that he's throwing hard eyes this

338
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:19,800
Speaker 3: flagrantly at Kansas City. So maybe a change of scenery.

339
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 3: But again, I don't know where he's gonna go outside

340
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:24,400
Speaker 3: of Washington that has the capsman used to acquire him.

341
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 3: Where he's gonna be happy with the quarterback situation.

342
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 2: It'd be probably quarterback on a rookie deal. Here's the issue.

343
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:36,199
Speaker 2: Like the Bears went and got Keenan Allen, DJ Moore, No, no,

344
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 2: they didn't get Dj Moore for that Roma dudon day right.

345
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,119
Speaker 2: Obviously not neither of those guys is Tyreek Hill. But

346
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 2: you spend on a wide receiver. The Texans went and

347
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 2: Scott Diggs. None of those moves worked out receivers. Let's

348
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:51,960
Speaker 2: be real. You need him in the regular season, but

349
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 2: to kind of sort of overrated, to overpay for them.

350
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:56,359
Speaker 2: I'm looking at Tyree Hill's game. Look, I know to

351
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:58,639
Speaker 2: have missed a bunch of games. Do you want to

352
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:00,639
Speaker 2: know just easy basic stuff? Do you want to know

353
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:02,920
Speaker 2: how many one hundred yard games? Tyreek Hall. Had Hill

354
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 2: had the season ooh one. Now, the opener he had

355
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 2: twelve for one thirty against Jacks. Then he had fourteen

356
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:15,200
Speaker 2: for one fifteen against the Jets, and then last week

357
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 2: against the Browns nine for one hundred and five. That's it.

358
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:20,160
Speaker 3: So he was that rad the other ten games where

359
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 3: he only had four hundred yards.

360
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 1: Yeah.

361
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 2: And the other problem is like he didn't have two

362
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 2: I know, but what about the off field stuff? I mean, listen,

363
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 2: I don't want to bring this up and make it

364
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 2: like an issue, but depending on what website you read,

365
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 2: he's got like I don't know, seven kids with five

366
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:44,720
Speaker 2: women or some ridiculous number and relative yeah, definitely. And

367
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:48,920
Speaker 2: it's again, off the field, he can be a headache.

368
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 2: I know he had the arrest, but that wasn't totally

369
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 2: his fault. The cops freaked out, he was a little

370
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:57,359
Speaker 2: combative whatever. I don't know, guys, it just feels very

371
00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 2: very strange that someone would be like, oh, we got

372
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 2: to get him Tybary kill business, you know.

373
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 4: Yeah.

374
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:04,960
Speaker 3: I mean that's the other thing is, let's say you

375
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 3: get him and it is a team on a rookie quarterback.

376
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:08,920
Speaker 4: Let's say it's Washington or Chicago.

377
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:16,639
Speaker 3: You have to have the infrastructure around him to support them, right,

378
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 3: because I mean, if the way that things looks like

379
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:21,400
Speaker 3: are ending in Miami, that's not a good look for him,

380
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 3: just like it wasn't a good look for Digs in Buffalo.

381
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:25,359
Speaker 3: Like you want to go to a place that has

382
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:28,879
Speaker 3: a strong personality, a head coach, a strong leadership at

383
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,479
Speaker 3: quarterback to where this is not going to become an

384
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 3: issue where he does this again.

385
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:34,240
Speaker 4: You know what I mean.

386
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 2: I'm looking at the playoff numbers. I mean they're they're

387
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:43,359
Speaker 2: nothing special. I guess his second to last year in

388
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 2: Kansas City. He had a good postseason thirty one, I'm sorry,

389
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:49,639
Speaker 2: twenty four for three, fifty five, I forget which one

390
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 2: of those. They lost the Super Bowl to the Bucks.

391
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:57,360
Speaker 2: But he was invisible in that game. Remember he threw

392
00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 2: up the deuces in that was like his thing. I'm gone.

393
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:03,280
Speaker 2: And then somebody drilled him and then put up the piece.

394
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:05,360
Speaker 3: They get an interception and they threw up a peace

395
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:07,359
Speaker 3: on it. I think, yeah, that was it.

396
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 2: But so I don't know. I'm just I know he

397
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:14,399
Speaker 2: seems awesome, but like i I'm no, no, no thanks,

398
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 2: not like a hard pass, just to just to no thanks.

399
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 2: Let's see here, Let's quickly go to the coaches that

400
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:23,960
Speaker 2: are going to get fired. We don't know about McCarthy.

401
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:29,360
Speaker 2: Doug Peterson is absolutely gone. Shane Steichen is staying. According

402
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:31,440
Speaker 2: to the Titans, they they got the number one pick,

403
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:33,160
Speaker 2: Gerrod Mayo.

404
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 3: I mean, Stike is from the culture, Callahan from the Titans.

405
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:38,480
Speaker 2: Callahan from the Titans. You're right, Stikeen Colts, he's staying.

406
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:41,960
Speaker 2: Callahan has not been given the vote of confidence. It

407
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:45,879
Speaker 2: could be because they have the number one pick that

408
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 2: the coaches are like, hey, do we want you do

409
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 2: or do we want cam You know Callahan? What do

410
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 2: you you know? Like, maybe he's not going to be there. Guy,

411
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 2: he is an offensive dude. He had Burrow, I would

412
00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 2: keep him. I think he stays. Peterson's toast. McCarthy will see.

413
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:06,360
Speaker 2: I don't know if he stays. That was my hot

414
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:08,159
Speaker 2: take last week that if I was mcarthy, I'd be

415
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 2: like yeah. And then the interesting one was Gerard Mayo,

416
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 2: who I thought had a rough season and all the

417
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:16,119
Speaker 2: people are like defending him. You know, there's this weird

418
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 2: narrative out there, rob that of the coaches on the

419
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:24,440
Speaker 2: hot seat, everybody's so defensive of the black head coaches, like, oh, well,

420
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:27,440
Speaker 2: that's just not right, and it's like, well, wait a

421
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:32,200
Speaker 2: minute here, what has Gerd Mayo done to instill any

422
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:35,080
Speaker 2: confidence going forward? He has been a disaster all season.

423
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:37,960
Speaker 2: He's clearly out of his depth as a head coach.

424
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:41,639
Speaker 2: It felt kind of sort of like a half assed

425
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 2: nod to Belichick, and hey, he was a Belichick guy,

426
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:49,240
Speaker 2: but he's gonna be different because he's young and cool,

427
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:53,840
Speaker 2: and I don't know they fired him, and I saw

428
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:56,080
Speaker 2: some former Patriots were like a little outrage. Did I

429
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 2: get that? Obviously, one year's not really enough time, but like,

430
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:01,400
Speaker 2: you have an entire year, make an impact on the organization,

431
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 2: on the locker room, on the players. This is a

432
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:07,120
Speaker 2: guy who in the preseason said we're playing our best

433
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 2: quarterback and he decided that best quarterback was not Drake

434
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:13,680
Speaker 2: may and Drake May was by a mile their best quarterback.

435
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:16,119
Speaker 2: And don't tell me, well, maybe by October he was

436
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:21,600
Speaker 2: their best stop like he Mayo just wasn't very good

437
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:24,320
Speaker 2: worse yet. Now, I don't think it had anything to

438
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 2: do with beating the Bills, do you rob didn't help?

439
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 4: But I don't think so but yeah, it didn't help.

440
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:33,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I think they're set at quarterback. It's not

441
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:35,680
Speaker 2: a great year to have the number one pick anyway,

442
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 2: they have the fourth pick. Here's my thing this is

443
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:40,720
Speaker 2: this might be a hot take. I do not like

444
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 2: the Patriots at all. I'm a Jets fan. I have

445
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:47,200
Speaker 2: rooted against the Patriots. I think with May they've got

446
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 2: something like Rob who's in a better spot, the Titans

447
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 2: drafting one, or the Patriots with May and no head coach.

448
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 4: Oh, the Patriots for sure.

449
00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:59,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, because May we know is good, like he flashed

450
00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:03,680
Speaker 2: more more than once a season. I don't know what's

451
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:07,320
Speaker 2: more attractive Jacksonville with Trevor Lawrence in that big fat contract,

452
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 2: or May and the Patriots. I think you got to

453
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:11,400
Speaker 2: give that some thought.

454
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:12,400
Speaker 4: Drake May.

455
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:15,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't. I don't know who's even once the

456
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:18,680
Speaker 2: Jacksonville job. It's it's it's just weird. I mean maybe

457
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:21,360
Speaker 2: it's because we haven't seen enough of May. But I

458
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 2: like what I've seen and I hate the Patriots. So

459
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:29,239
Speaker 2: we'll see what happens that. It's an interesting job. I

460
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:32,720
Speaker 2: don't really know, Like is that are we gonna hand

461
00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 2: this to Mike Rabel?

462
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 3: It certainly feels that way. Like the way that it

463
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:39,439
Speaker 3: was being reported on Sunday before the firing even came

464
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 3: through with Dard Mayo was that teams wanted to get

465
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 3: an early start on this because the top two candidates

466
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:52,760
Speaker 3: are Mike Rabel, who's available now you can talk to

467
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 3: him whenever as soon as the season's over, and Ben Johnson,

468
00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:59,679
Speaker 3: and nobody's expecting Ben Johnson to become available for at

469
00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 3: least least three four weeks the minimum, Like you're you're

470
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 3: expecting them to get to the super Bowl. And so

471
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:10,400
Speaker 3: if you're a team like the Patriots, who realistically are

472
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:13,440
Speaker 3: not a super attractive job for a guy like Ben Jonson,

473
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:15,879
Speaker 3: Ben Johnson and Shelle's gonna be very selective, then you

474
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 3: want to make sure you get in early on the

475
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 3: next best guy. And Rabel has a lot of the

476
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:24,200
Speaker 3: qualities that they'd hope that Jond Mayo would have, where

477
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:26,080
Speaker 3: it seems like he's a leader of a man. He's you know,

478
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:29,639
Speaker 3: very sound and discipline and things like that, and the

479
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:32,920
Speaker 3: fact that he's a former Patriot like that cannot be understated.

480
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:36,000
Speaker 3: You know, the Patriots are similar to like the Lakers,

481
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 3: where it's like, hey, being a former Patriot mean something.

482
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:40,840
Speaker 3: Being a former Laker means something to them, right or wrong.

483
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:43,440
Speaker 3: They romanticize the hell out of it. And so for

484
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:45,399
Speaker 3: them to get a head start on all of this

485
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:49,200
Speaker 3: where maybe they can lock up Rabel before anybody really

486
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:51,800
Speaker 3: has a chance to talk to him, like that might

487
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 3: be a win for them.

488
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 2: Yeah. Have you checked in on any Bengals fans?

489
00:24:57,320 --> 00:25:02,320
Speaker 3: I saw stat They have the touchdown leader, the triple

490
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 3: crown winner, the sacks leader, and they missed the playoffs.

491
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 2: They don't have much outside of that apparently not. Oh,

492
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:12,119
Speaker 2: by the way, we forgot one of the coach. How

493
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 2: you feeling about Antonio Pierce? Does he get gotten toda?

494
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:17,600
Speaker 3: Oh gosh, I hope he does. I think he will

495
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:20,080
Speaker 3: because I think Tom Brady is gonna, you know, flex

496
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:24,399
Speaker 3: his muscle and get a culture change in there. But

497
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:27,960
Speaker 3: I don't know. It's hard to trust Mark Davis. I

498
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:30,399
Speaker 3: have you've seen his haircut? Like, you can't trust the

499
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 3: guy who makes it, like a ask for that haircut.

500
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 4: That's a judgment at all.

501
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:38,240
Speaker 2: Drafting sixth overall, So the order is the Titans one

502
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 2: do go quarterback? The Browns two. I don't know, man,

503
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 2: I think they're probably gonna go quarterback.

504
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:50,200
Speaker 3: I think they should, but the people around Cleveland expect

505
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:53,560
Speaker 3: that they're gonna go Kirk Cousins and then go with

506
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 3: Travis Hunter or somebody at two.

507
00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:57,359
Speaker 4: Whoever, the best player.

508
00:25:57,160 --> 00:26:04,479
Speaker 2: Is Kirk Cousins. Interesting, that's not the worst taken though.

509
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:05,159
Speaker 2: I don't mind that.

510
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 4: But I mean, he's gonna be free. Basically, he's gonna

511
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:07,480
Speaker 4: be what.

512
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 2: He's gonna be. Yeah, he's gonna be free. Giants fall

513
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:12,119
Speaker 2: to third, so I guess they could get a quarterback.

514
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:16,960
Speaker 2: Patriots fourth, Jaggs fifth, Raiders sixth, my Jet seventh after

515
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:19,879
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers led them to a victory, a hollow victory.

516
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:22,760
Speaker 2: The Carolina Panthers go five and twelve. If you remember

517
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 2: from the preseason, Adam Chernoff and his group bet the

518
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:30,960
Speaker 2: Panthers win total up over four and a half. I

519
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:33,960
Speaker 2: think it moved to five and they cast with an

520
00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:39,679
Speaker 2: overtime victory. Eighteen the Saints. That's a hapless franchise. I

521
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:41,640
Speaker 2: don't know if that's even an attractive job at all.

522
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:46,080
Speaker 2: Saints are at nine, Bears at ten Bears one. They

523
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:49,880
Speaker 2: beat the Packers yesterday. I didn't see it. Niners eleven,

524
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:54,399
Speaker 2: Cowboys twelve, and let's wrap up with the always fun

525
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 2: NFL playoff bracket.

526

Speaker 2: Here are let me open it. Here are the games

531
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:22,120
Speaker 2: in order, Wildcard Weekend, Chargers at Texans Saturday. It's Chargers

532
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:26,119
Speaker 2: favored by three on the road. Oh my, did the

533
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 2: Chargers rust guys today or play them?

534
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 1: No?

535
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:31,479
Speaker 3: They played them. They wanted to move up in the bracket.

536
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:40,080
Speaker 2: And that's right, Chargers favorite on the road. I guess

537
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:42,680
Speaker 2: I would lean Chargers, but I might have to take

538
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 2: the points with the home That's a tough one. I

539
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:46,640
Speaker 2: need some more time. Like I think the Chargers win,

540
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:49,280
Speaker 2: do they cover? I don't. I don't know if that's

541
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:51,119
Speaker 2: a lock. Let me see, how did Dobbins do? Did

542
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 2: you watch any of that game?

543
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:55,440
Speaker 3: I mean I had it on, But you know, other

544
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:58,160
Speaker 3: than I'm hoping my team lost, I wasn't locked into

545
00:27:58,200 --> 00:27:59,640
Speaker 3: it the way I probably should have. I was more

546
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 3: locked in actually to our jets. You know, they were

547
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:04,480
Speaker 3: my jets. I was walking with the r Jets and

548
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 3: the Dolphins than I was.

549
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:10,480
Speaker 2: Just a bit outside there. JK. Dobbins eighteen for sixty three,

550
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 2: Quentin Whoa, Quinton Johnson thirteen for one eighty six, Damn

551
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 2: Lad McConkie had a nice little game. So it seems

552
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:24,399
Speaker 2: like they're getting healthy. I see no sacks. It looks

553
00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:28,360
Speaker 2: like Bosa did Oh no Bosa played. He had two

554
00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 2: quarterback hits.

555
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:31,959
Speaker 3: Well, I think this line says more about the Texans

556
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:32,640
Speaker 3: than the Chargers.

557
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, nobody's buying.

558
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:35,920
Speaker 3: People are off the Texans in a big way, which

559
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 3: is you would have never guessed that coming into the season,

560
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:41,360
Speaker 3: like they were the new hotnet like them and the Lions,

561
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:43,320
Speaker 3: where like, hey, this could be a super Bowl team

562
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:43,640
Speaker 3: right here.

563
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 4: Look at C. J.

564
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 3: Stroud and his progression has been anything but linear. It's

565
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 3: almost been a step back if you were to look

566
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 3: at it in some ways. And no digs, no Tank Dell,

567
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:58,240
Speaker 3: it's Nico Collins, Joe Mixon kind of struggled because the

568
00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:00,440
Speaker 3: injury down the stretch a little bit, the kind of

569
00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:04,240
Speaker 3: one down. So I just don't I think people just

570
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:06,400
Speaker 3: off on the Texans right now more than the Yeah.

571
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 2: I mean, then maybe they show up, you know, if

572
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:10,640
Speaker 2: you want to tease the Texans up to plus ten.

573
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:14,200
Speaker 2: You know, Chargers don't blow a lot of good teams out.

574
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:16,720
Speaker 2: It could be in interest the Saturday night game on

575
00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:21,760
Speaker 2: Amazon Prime, Steelers at Lamar Jackson. There's a big old number,

576
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:26,280
Speaker 2: Ravens nine and a half. Now. Historically in this series,

577
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:29,480
Speaker 2: it's been close, and I think a lot of the

578
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:32,479
Speaker 2: trend betters, and I'm not one of them, would and

579
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:35,920
Speaker 2: by the way, trend Better's got annihilated this year, I

580
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:37,840
Speaker 2: think they would. They would probably take the points with

581
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 2: the Steelers. I don't know, I mean, have you I

582
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:41,440
Speaker 2: don't know if you guys have watched football and track

583
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 2: the numbers here over the last four weeks. But the

584
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:47,360
Speaker 2: Steelers are in a free fall, like without a parachute.

585
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 2: They have lost four in a row. That lost to

586
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:54,200
Speaker 2: the Bengals was brutal. Worse yet is the Pickens situation.

587
00:29:56,280 --> 00:30:00,280
Speaker 2: I think officially he was credited with three drops. He

588
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:04,080
Speaker 2: had one catch on six targets for zero yards. He

589
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 2: looked frustrated. He was jaw jacking with a fan and

590
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:09,720
Speaker 2: I forget I don't think it was what but somebody

591
00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 2: came over and separated him and before he did something

592
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 2: really dumb, and the Steelers just looked listless at home.

593
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:20,040
Speaker 2: Russell Wilson has lost his fastball. This was against the

594
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:23,840
Speaker 2: Bengals guys, and we saw them against the Ravens on

595
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 2: was it Christmas Day it might have been, and they

596
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:31,760
Speaker 2: got just pulverized. Ravens buried him and the Chiefs smacked him.

597
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:34,880
Speaker 2: They're just not playing good football now, and I don't

598
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:37,280
Speaker 2: see it. So I think the Ravens are fine there.

599
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:38,640
Speaker 2: I know it's a big number, that's.

600
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:39,040
Speaker 4: A huge ruff.

601
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 2: A lot of people are gonna balk out it. If

602
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 2: you're looking for a Saturday teaser, Texans up Ravens down

603
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 2: to two and a half, I would wait on Zay Flowers.

604
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:52,720
Speaker 2: He got banged up against the Bengals. It looked worse

605
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 2: than it was. But I think they're expecting him to miss.

606
00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:58,120
Speaker 2: I don't know that it matters. I just I don't

607
00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 2: trust the Steelers defense at all or offense at all

608
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 2: right now. They are in a massive funk. So are

609
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:05,880
Speaker 2: you in alignment? Chargers and Ravens are rob Yeah.

610
00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 3: I mean the teaser I think is to play just

611
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:09,000
Speaker 3: because nine and a half is such a big number.

612
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:11,680
Speaker 3: I mean, as bad as the Steelers' offense has looked

613
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 3: over the last month. Remember a month ago, it wasn't

614
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:16,920
Speaker 3: just that Russell Wilson was gonna be the guy. It

615
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:19,680
Speaker 3: was like, how big of an extension he's gonna get?

616
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 3: Like that, That's what the commentary was. And now it's like, well, shit,

617
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:25,959
Speaker 3: have you seen him the last six weeks? Like he's

618
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 3: looks like a shot fighter right now, Like their offense

619
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:31,600
Speaker 3: is falling apart and the Ravens are going out like

620
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:35,600
Speaker 3: they're surging. So but the problem is nine and a

621
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 3: half in a playoff game against a divisional opponent that

622
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:43,000
Speaker 3: historically has you know, owned you other than this last game.

623
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 2: And Lamar in the playoffs has been kind of sort

624
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:49,760
Speaker 2: of bottled up historically. Yeah, so just obviously be careful

625
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:53,920
Speaker 2: there the Sunday games Broncos, that bills the early game

626
00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:57,480
Speaker 2: on CBS. I already laid it. I somehow this opened

627
00:31:57,480 --> 00:31:59,960
Speaker 2: at like eight, I see it at nine, trending toward

628
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:04,479
Speaker 2: nine and a half. I'm just telling you it's not

629
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:08,680
Speaker 2: a trend at this point. It's just you know, historically,

630
00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:12,920
Speaker 2: rookie quarterbacks have really struggled in the playoffs. Like the

631
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:19,800
Speaker 2: numbers are pretty ghastly I do believe the Bills kind

632
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:21,720
Speaker 2: of wipe out the Broncos here. I know the Broncos

633
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:24,080
Speaker 2: look good in the thirty eight zero beat down of

634
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:27,960
Speaker 2: the backup third string Chiefs. This is gonna be twenty

635
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:30,480
Speaker 2: eight degrees. It's gonna be bo Nicks. I don't know.

636
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 2: I'm gonna quickly check the weather, rob But could anything

637
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:35,760
Speaker 2: convince you to back the Broncos here?

638
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:39,040
Speaker 3: No, not at all. Denver does not beat good teams.

639
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:41,640
Speaker 3: And that's something you say about the Chargers too, like

640
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 3: they just don't other than each other, like they don't

641
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:47,640
Speaker 3: beat good teams. And Buffalo basically got a bye week,

642
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:50,680
Speaker 3: you know, because Josh Allen took the ceremonial snap, so

643
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:52,840
Speaker 3: you can keep a street going. But better than that, Yeah,

644
00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:55,160
Speaker 3: they're gonna be healthy for the most part. They're gonna

645
00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 3: be rested for the most part. I think that they

646
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 3: they jump on them early. Bonnicks looks like a rookie,

647
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:03,640
Speaker 3: which he's supposed to, and then you know the rest

648
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:04,160
Speaker 3: is history.

649
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:07,840
Speaker 2: So I'm looking at the weather in Buffalo next weekend. Saturday,

650
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:12,680
Speaker 2: there will be snow high of twenty nine degrees, Sunday

651
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:16,720
Speaker 2: high of thirty and a little snow, but only twenty

652
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:20,400
Speaker 2: five percent chance of precipitation. So it doesn't seem like

653
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:23,400
Speaker 2: weather's going to be an impact. But I don't I

654
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:26,400
Speaker 2: don't even know what the argument is. Somebody tried to

655
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:28,800
Speaker 2: tell me that the Broncos have beat one playoff team

656
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:31,040
Speaker 2: or one team with a winning record this year. I

657
00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:34,000
Speaker 2: obviously we don't count Week EIGHTEAM because it was all backups.

658
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:36,320
Speaker 2: I forget what the exact stat was. I have it

659
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:38,120
Speaker 2: in my notes, ought to dig it up. But you

660
00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:42,000
Speaker 2: look at the schedule and the teams that made the playoffs.

661
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:45,640
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh lost thirteen to six. Oh, Tampa was the one win.

662
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:47,640
Speaker 2: Remember Week three, it was a great spot for them.

663
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:50,640
Speaker 2: They take down Tampa, I think twenty six to seven.

664
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:52,120
Speaker 2: That was like I think I was on them in

665
00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:55,240
Speaker 2: that game. Total beatdown beat the Raiders, beat the Jets,

666
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:57,840
Speaker 2: lost to the Chargers, who are playoff found beat the Saints,

667
00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:01,040
Speaker 2: beat the Panthers, bottom feeders, lost to the Ravens, lost

668
00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:03,760
Speaker 2: to the Chiefs, beat the Falcons who missed the playoffs,

669
00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:07,400
Speaker 2: beat the Raiders again, Cleveland stinks beat Indy, lost to

670
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:11,600
Speaker 2: the Chargers again, lost to the Bengals in ot Bengals

671
00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:13,360
Speaker 2: didn't make the playoffs and then beat the Chiefs. So

672
00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:16,320
Speaker 2: their one win was in Week three against Tampa Bay

673
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:19,359
Speaker 2: on the road. So yeah, I'm sorry, guys. I can't

674
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:22,560
Speaker 2: make any case at all for Buffalo. And then in

675
00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:26,960
Speaker 2: pretty much the wild card game of the weekend. Oh yeah,

676
00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:30,080
Speaker 2: I think it is firste Okay Packers at Eagles. It's

677
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:33,600
Speaker 2: on Fox Sunday afternoon. Eagles four and a half point favorites. Now,

678
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:36,680
Speaker 2: something that happened Christian Watson was he really carted off?

679
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:37,680
Speaker 4: Oh yeah?

680
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:39,880
Speaker 2: Oh dear? So is he done for the season.

681
00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:44,759
Speaker 3: They haven't given an official announcement, but it's looks that way.

682
00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:49,279
Speaker 2: So here's the bad news. Last year Packers went into

683
00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:52,480
Speaker 2: Dallas as big underdogs and smacked the Cowboys around. They

684
00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:54,319
Speaker 2: will not be sneaking up on the Eagles this time.

685
00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:57,440
Speaker 2: The Eagles are going to be ready for anything. And

686
00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:00,720
Speaker 2: I'll have the numbers later in the week. But coming

687
00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:03,440
Speaker 2: into I think two weeks ago, the splits with and

688
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:06,880
Speaker 2: without Christian Watson were not good for the Packers, and

689
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:11,080
Speaker 2: no Christian Watson not a great sign here now the Eagles.

690
00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:14,719
Speaker 2: When last I heard, I think it was Thursday, was

691
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:17,440
Speaker 2: Jalen Hurts was still in the concussion protocol and like

692
00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:21,440
Speaker 2: Day eleven, not great. So this is the one game

693
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:23,480
Speaker 2: I definitely have not touched because I want to see. Obviously,

694
00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:26,719
Speaker 2: the Hurts is fine, but I think the Eagles are

695
00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:27,200
Speaker 2: the side there.

696
00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:32,200
Speaker 3: This one's tricky because I believe that Philadelphia is going

697
00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:34,040
Speaker 3: to win. Like if I had just the money line,

698
00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:36,520
Speaker 3: I'm taking the Eagles. But this this one, to me,

699
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:39,359
Speaker 3: feels like it's gonna be close. Like like you said,

700
00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:41,279
Speaker 3: this is easily the matchup of the weekend. This is

701
00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:44,480
Speaker 3: the one everyone's gonna want to see. Jalen Hurts so far,

702
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:46,799
Speaker 3: even when he was healthy, was not looking great as

703
00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:49,319
Speaker 3: a pastor. I think Green Bay is gonna do a

704
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:52,799
Speaker 3: solid job of slowing down, so you're gonna stop say

705
00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:56,279
Speaker 3: I'm gonna slow him down. And if Jordan Love is

706
00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:58,680
Speaker 3: recovered from his funny bone and drew whatever he gaped

707
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:01,080
Speaker 3: on Sunday where he hard his elbow and can feel

708
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:03,680
Speaker 3: his fingers or whatever it is, I think they have

709
00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:06,680
Speaker 3: enough offensive firepower that they can keep it close and

710
00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:09,200
Speaker 3: cover the flour. That's what I number I see right now.

711
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:12,480
Speaker 3: But you know that, as you said, the Christian Watson

712
00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:14,359
Speaker 3: injury cannot be understated he might not be a great

713
00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:16,840
Speaker 3: football player, but for them he's.

714
00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:19,520
Speaker 4: Very important, extremely important.

715
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:23,360
Speaker 2: So geez, we're leaning in all agreement. Then the Sunday

716
00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:28,719
Speaker 2: night playoff game is Commanders at Bucks, a rematch from

717
00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:30,600
Speaker 2: earlier in the season when Todd Bowles I think it

718
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:34,680
Speaker 2: was season over, Todd Bowles really confused young Jaden Daniels,

719
00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 2: and you know he basically just tucked and ran every

720
00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:43,680
Speaker 2: single time. Bucks are favored by three and a half. Hmm.

721
00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:47,759
Speaker 2: This is a little different Tampa been Tampa Bay. I'll

722
00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:49,680
Speaker 2: and again, I'm we're getting this on the fly here.

723
00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:51,879
Speaker 2: Tampa Bay has been great as an underdog this year,

724
00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:56,440
Speaker 2: I think at least and you know, this is a

725
00:36:56,480 --> 00:37:01,279
Speaker 2: team with a potentially explosive offense. I want to make

726
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:03,240
Speaker 2: the case. I don't know what's up with Marshaun Lattimore.

727
00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:06,400
Speaker 2: He didn't play, did he? I believe he did not

728
00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:08,840
Speaker 2: suit up. I don't know what his health is gonna be.

729
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:11,759
Speaker 2: But they're gonna need somebody for Mike Evans. When we

730
00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:13,759
Speaker 2: saw a lot of Moore get kind of roasted by

731
00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:22,360
Speaker 2: was it Drake London? Yeah, yeah, I'm looking where the

732
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:25,520
Speaker 2: impressive Tampa wins. Oh well, they did smash the Chargers

733
00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:30,600
Speaker 2: at so far they Oh, they beat the Eagles, that

734
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:32,160
Speaker 2: was a game where there was no a j. Brown

735
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:35,439
Speaker 2: and beat Detroit in week two. Damn they got four.

736
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:38,320
Speaker 3: I was gonna say, they've beating some good teams.

737
00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:40,920
Speaker 2: They got four wins over playoff teams. We just said

738
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:47,480
Speaker 2: bo Nicks had one against Tampa. The numbers, as I

739
00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:50,360
Speaker 2: said earlier, the numbers against rookie quarterbacks in the playoffs

740
00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:54,640
Speaker 2: are usual, like historically really bad for the rookie. So

741
00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:56,239
Speaker 2: I do want to wait on this. But here's the thing.

742
00:37:57,040 --> 00:38:00,120
Speaker 2: Jade Daniels saw these guys earlier in the season, and

743
00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:02,239
Speaker 2: I do wonder if there will be less of that

744
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:04,840
Speaker 2: deer in the headlights with a rookie. Now, this is

745
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:07,920
Speaker 2: a night game. You know there's gonna be a lot

746
00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:11,600
Speaker 2: of thirty million people watching this. Will it? Will the

747
00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:13,840
Speaker 2: moment be too big for Daniels. I don't know. I

748
00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:17,200
Speaker 2: would lean taking the three and a half with Washington

749
00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:18,200
Speaker 2: at three and a half.

750
00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:20,120
Speaker 4: Lee, I would go the other way.

751
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:22,600
Speaker 3: And has less to do with Jade and Daniels and

752
00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:26,120
Speaker 3: more to do with the Bucks and.

753
00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:29,560
Speaker 4: Cliff Kingsbury.

754
00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:32,440
Speaker 3: And they might be a little you know, tinfoil hat,

755
00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:35,319
Speaker 3: but they had something to play for on Sunday. Yeah,

756
00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:37,880
Speaker 3: they still had wild card positioning that they were fighting

757
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:45,080
Speaker 3: for on Sunday, and that offense looked flat, It looked uncoordinated.

758
00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:47,480
Speaker 3: They didn't look good at all. Had that game on

759
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:52,160
Speaker 3: on one of the smaller TVs. So I know that

760
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:55,920
Speaker 3: Cliff Kingsbury is a professional and he's gonna be focused

761
00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:58,080
Speaker 3: the way he says he's going to be focused. But

762
00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:00,000
Speaker 3: you cannot tell me that he's not keeping one eye

763
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:02,520
Speaker 3: I am that Chicago job right now that he's not,

764
00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:05,560
Speaker 3: you know, quietly thinking to himself, Okay, if I get

765
00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:07,520
Speaker 3: this gig, who am I going to bring with me?

766
00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:10,120
Speaker 3: How am I gonna, you know, run this office for

767
00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:13,279
Speaker 3: Kayler Williams Because as soon as he left the door

768
00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:15,200
Speaker 3: open about a week ago where he said, you know,

769
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:17,080
Speaker 3: I would love to be a head coach again at

770
00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:21,040
Speaker 3: some point, Yeah, you can't turn that off. So I

771
00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:25,800
Speaker 3: don't see him being on his complete p's and q's Tampa.

772
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:28,319
Speaker 3: On the other hand, Baker Mayfield's a gamer. As much

773
00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:29,600
Speaker 3: as I was down on him early in his career,

774
00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:33,120
Speaker 3: he's been great since then. Mike Evans, as you saw

775
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:35,880
Speaker 3: what he did for them and that breaking the record

776
00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:38,319
Speaker 3: and how excited everybody got for him. Liam Cohen, I

777
00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:41,640
Speaker 3: think it's a dark horse head coach candidate. Yeah, I

778
00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:44,560
Speaker 3: think I got I got Tampa for sure, given up

779
00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:44,960
Speaker 3: the three.

780
00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:48,279
Speaker 2: So slight distrecat but and then the final game Vikings

781
00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:51,000
Speaker 2: at Rams at so far touched on it earlier. I'm

782
00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:52,399
Speaker 2: on the Rams here. I think they win the game

783
00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:53,880
Speaker 2: out right, and it might be a bit of a

784
00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:57,480
Speaker 2: reaction to the Vikings embarrassment now if you asked me

785
00:39:57,480 --> 00:40:00,560
Speaker 2: a week ago. But again, the Rams have rested all there, guys.

786
00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:06,920
Speaker 2: Assuming Cooper Cup's hurt, not hurt, he's healthy, I think

787
00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:09,319
Speaker 2: the Rams offense has success. There is the familiarity of

788
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:14,080
Speaker 2: McVeigh and koc here. This should be a great game.

789
00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:16,160
Speaker 2: I will be trying to get tickets to this game

790
00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:17,839
Speaker 2: for my family. I will probably fail though.

791
00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:20,799
Speaker 3: You know that if you get those tickets, it's just

792
00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:23,080
Speaker 3: gonna derail my life because that means we can't do

793
00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:25,360
Speaker 3: the podcast till like two am Eastern.

794
00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:28,560
Speaker 2: Oh wait a minute, no, dude, the game starts at five. Yeah,

795
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:30,920
Speaker 2: but you know how you are getting out of five.

796
00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:33,600
Speaker 3: You've got traffic, you got all the celebrities that you know,

797
00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:35,879
Speaker 3: all the NBA assistant coaches that you got to run

798
00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:38,239
Speaker 3: through kids might be with you. You got to get

799
00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:40,880
Speaker 3: them a jersey and the way out. I'm gonna be

800
00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:44,000
Speaker 3: sitting here on my loans in my kitchen waiting for

801
00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:46,439
Speaker 3: j Max to leave with all the other big wigs.

802
00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:47,040
Speaker 4: That's so fine.

803
00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:51,160
Speaker 2: You're gonna be like, uh no, they stop. Not a

804
00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:54,319
Speaker 2: big big dog at all. So I guess Rob, here's

805
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:56,640
Speaker 2: my ques. Gosh, I shouldn't ask this on air because

806
00:40:56,640 --> 00:41:00,560
Speaker 2: it's dumb, but I, for some dumb reason, thought the

807
00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:03,360
Speaker 2: playoffs used to be reseeded. Were they not?

808
00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:07,400
Speaker 3: They receed depending on what happened in the wildcard round?

809
00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:10,960
Speaker 2: Right, so we don't know who the divisional matchups are

810
00:41:11,239 --> 00:41:14,520
Speaker 2: no other than the Lions and the Chiefs are hosting games, yes, wells.

811
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:17,400
Speaker 2: Bottom line is the lowest seed is who the Lions

812
00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:23,560
Speaker 2: would play? Correct, so that would likely be I mean

813
00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:26,160
Speaker 2: who if the Packers get an upset, If Washington gets

814
00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:27,040
Speaker 2: an upset.

815
00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:31,759
Speaker 4: Then that changes everything. Yeah, but if.

816
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:35,080
Speaker 3: The seedings hold the way that they are now, the

817
00:41:35,120 --> 00:41:36,520
Speaker 3: lowest team they'll face would be the Viking.

818
00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:37,440
Speaker 4: They face the Vikings.

819
00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:40,640
Speaker 2: So here's my thing. Is there any world where the

820
00:41:40,760 --> 00:41:44,120
Speaker 2: Rams have two playoff games, and I guess the answers probably.

821
00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:48,239
Speaker 3: Know, Oh, you would need you would need Green Beta win,

822
00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:50,399
Speaker 3: you would need Washington to win.

823
00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:55,560
Speaker 2: So if all the favorites hold SERVE, second round would

824
00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:57,239
Speaker 2: be Rams at Eagles.

825
00:41:57,719 --> 00:42:02,560
Speaker 3: Of all the favorites holds SERVE, then it would be yes.

826
00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:09,920
Speaker 2: Noiful for getting Vikings because I don't know that the

827
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:12,640
Speaker 2: Vikings could go to Philly and win. I honestly have

828
00:42:12,719 --> 00:42:15,280
Speaker 2: my doubts about the Rams going to Philly and winning.

829
00:42:18,360 --> 00:42:20,960
Speaker 2: Mm hmm. Could the Vikings go I know, I don't

830
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:24,200
Speaker 2: think so. Washington has proven they can go toe to

831
00:42:24,239 --> 00:42:27,799
Speaker 2: toe with these guys. I don't know. I I think

832
00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:29,520
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go with Philly coming out of the NFC.

833
00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:32,200
Speaker 2: That's just my early guest. I don't have any futures down,

834
00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:32,719
Speaker 2: money down.

835
00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:35,919
Speaker 3: I don't know how anybody could watch what they saw

836
00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:38,480
Speaker 3: from Detroit on Sunday night and not think that they

837
00:42:38,520 --> 00:42:40,560
Speaker 3: should be the prohibited favorites to come out of these

838
00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:43,600
Speaker 3: even with all those injuries, Like I think I saw

839
00:42:43,719 --> 00:42:47,520
Speaker 3: FanDuel had him as the favorite to win the Super Bowl. Yeah,

840
00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:49,719
Speaker 3: Fandul plus three hundred Lions chiefs.

841
00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:51,400
Speaker 2: How much of that is because they just played on

842
00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:53,520
Speaker 2: Sunday Night football and everybody's ball washing. Well.

843
00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:55,319
Speaker 3: I think the other part of it is is the

844
00:42:55,400 --> 00:42:59,480
Speaker 3: Chiefs by far, I think the AFC is tougher, you know,

845
00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:03,240
Speaker 3: just with Bills Ravens alone, I think those two teams

846
00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:05,840
Speaker 3: would probably be favorites in the NFC. Either one of

847
00:43:05,840 --> 00:43:10,359
Speaker 3: those teams were in the NFC. But Detroit, like their

848
00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:15,320
Speaker 3: offense has been unstoppable all season, and despite the injuries,

849
00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:18,839
Speaker 3: their defense has been plucky. I know the last three

850
00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:22,200
Speaker 3: weeks coming into Sunday Night weren't great, but like they've

851
00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:24,279
Speaker 3: been dealing with it all season and they've still been

852
00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:28,400
Speaker 3: a top ten ish defense. So Azeloni came back hopefully

853
00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:29,719
Speaker 3: with the Biewey, they had a couple of couple more

854
00:43:29,719 --> 00:43:33,800
Speaker 3: guys come back. You never know, Like Detroit looks great.

855
00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:37,759
Speaker 2: I would like that. That'd be a great story. And it's

856
00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:40,680
Speaker 2: a Fox Super Bowl, so maybe I know, I'm just kidding.

857
00:43:40,719 --> 00:43:42,640
Speaker 2: I have a zero chance of going. All right, that's

858
00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:46,000
Speaker 2: a long Monday podcast. Back tomorrow, talk to you.
