00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:18,439
Speaker 1: and what is a big showdown show me Sunday. I

5
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 1: thought I should wear a suit today because well, it's

6
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:24,120
Speaker 1: a lot of filibustering, feeling like I should be on

7
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:27,920
Speaker 1: Capitol Hill with all the last second chaos in the

8
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 1: college football world. We'll get the revealing of the playoffs

9
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:35,080
Speaker 1: structure a little later on this morning and in the

10
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:37,879
Speaker 1: early afternoon, right as you get ready for Week fourteen

11
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 1: of your National Football League season. Greg, ready for a

12
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 1: big one today, weather in a couple of spots playoff

13
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 1: battles and jockeying for position, and some teams that we

14
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 1: still have giant question marks like they're the Riddler of

15
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 1: the old nineteen sixties Batman series, Frank Gorshen running amuck.

16
00:00:56,560 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 2: There you go, pow wham. You're not really wear in

17
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 2: a suit, are you? No.

18
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 1: I debated it, and then I said, it's.

19
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 2: Uh, you know, well, you know you want to class

20
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 2: it up once in a while. Well, you know, why

21
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:13,400
Speaker 2: would we want to do that?

22
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 1: That? That is one of the joys of working in radio, right,

23
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 1: the uh, the old voice who's heard but never seen

24
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,039
Speaker 1: to go, there you go, the Harry chapin w O

25
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:23,400
Speaker 1: L D.

26
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 2: There you go. That's a very good reference. That's a

27
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 2: very good reference.

28
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 1: One of my favorites, The Greatest Stories Live Go add

29
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:33,759
Speaker 1: it to your playlist. People here, yeah and go get

30
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 1: some singer songwriter in you. And The Travels of a

31
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 1: Weary Radio Man one of his big hits that I enjoyed,

32
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 1: And certainly every once in a while you feel like

33
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:45,680
Speaker 1: you're living it. It's like, all right, let's go, let's

34
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 1: jack it up for another day. We've got the Abu

35
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 1: Dhabi Grand Prix, the season finale of F one later

36
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 1: on again the playoffs, and between the Alabama stands the

37
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: Texas stands, noted Miami. Just it's more just the idea

38
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 1: that I you know, you gotta get you get your

39
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 1: best suit on, Greg to make your arguments. I actually

40
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: started reading as I was sitting in the parking lot

41
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:14,639
Speaker 1: getting a first sip of coffee. Someone wrote what appears

42
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 1: to be about a thirty five page missive of why

43
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 1: Vanderbilt is criminally underrated. In all this process, So and

44
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 1: then I said, no, it's time to go to work

45
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 1: and they're not getting in, So it really doesn't matter. Now, prob,

46
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 1: you may win the Heisman, but it may not matter.

47
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 2: Well, whenever there's a finite number of teams, as there

48
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 2: always is, you know, that are picked and you know,

49
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 2: not based on record like the NFL that are picked,

50
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,800
Speaker 2: there's always going to be debates and arguments and people

51
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 2: pissed off. That's just the way it is.

52
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 1: Always the rule of thumb that we take from boxing.

53
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:46,919
Speaker 1: Never let it go to the judges. There you go

54
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 1: win your games.

55
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 2: We don't have any of this, but that's it always

56
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 2: goes to the judges in college football. So you know,

57
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 2: I'm sure at some point they'll probably expand twelve to

58
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 2: sixteen and then there'll still be debates and arguments. Oh look,

59
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 2: it's like the NCAA basketball torn when they expanded to

60
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 2: sixty four and there's always debates. You know, it's just

61
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 2: the way it is.

62
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:06,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was kind of hoping by the end of

63
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 1: it all, Greg that we just get guys in the

64
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 1: cage like it's the UFC little professional wrestling, or to

65
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 1: go back to Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, two men enter

66
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 1: one man leads whoever walks out that cage their team

67
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,920
Speaker 1: gets represented. But we'll watch that a little later on today.

68
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 1: The aforementioned Pavia is the current odds leader for the Heisman,

69
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 1: as you didn't get much of a show in that

70
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 1: Indiana Ohio state finish from the other contenders atop the heap,

71
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 1: so we'll keep an eye on that and information starting

72
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 1: to flow and leans and leaks out of those rooms

73
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,080

Speaker 1: breakdown and tape breakdown. We got you for the next

86
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 1: two hours, are going to do a lot of that

87
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:20,719
Speaker 1: hit a little bit in the rewind as we go

88
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,799
Speaker 1: back to Thursday night, but big preview, big week ahead

89
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:27,280
Speaker 1: here Week fourteen of the NFL season. We're keenly aware

90
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 1: of all your fantasy lineup quandaries. So as we hit

91
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 1: some of the principles, take the little insights and knowledge

92
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 1: that Greg's going to drop and some stats that I'll

93
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,280
Speaker 1: fire off at you, and I'll stick around in the

94
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 1: studio for a while after at Swollen Dome to answer

95
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 1: any of those lineup questions that you have, because then

96
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,040
Speaker 1: you have someone to blame if it all goes wrong.

97
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:52,360
Speaker 2: That's why I stay away from the fantasy stuff. Mike,

98
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 2: I'll leave that to you.

99
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 1: Hey, I'll tell I'll wear it. I've always argued, going

100
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,359
Speaker 1: back to the first day I did this, I'm the

101
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,839
Speaker 1: arguments about a player and if he doesn't performance, his fault.

102
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 2: You know, it's funny too, Yesterday. On Saturdays, a lot

103
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:10,480
Speaker 2: of times I go to Barnes and Noble. That's kind

104
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 2: of like my happy place on a Saturday. You know. Yes,

105
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:16,160
Speaker 2: I love going to the bookstore, and you know, and

106
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:18,160
Speaker 2: so of course I see a lot of the same

107
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 2: people because I'm there at the same time every Saturday

108
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 2: for the most part, so you know, you know how

109
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:23,719
Speaker 2: it is in a bookstore, it's like, hey, how are

110
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:25,599
Speaker 2: You don't necessarily know the people, but you kind of

111
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 2: know them just for that the two hours that you're there. Sure,

112
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:30,799
Speaker 2: so of course I get the question from a gentleman

113
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 2: sitting next to me, you know, well, what's wrong with

114
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 2: the Eagles? And you know, these are conversations I normally

115
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 2: don't like to have because there's never one answer to that,

116
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 2: you know, as you know, I mean, you know me

117
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:44,840
Speaker 2: well enough now to know that there's never one answer

118
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,040
Speaker 2: to any of these issues when the team's playing well

119
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 2: or a team's playing poorly. But I never want to be,

120
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 2: you know, not a nice guy and talk to people,

121
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:54,039
Speaker 2: you know, because I never want to be that guy

122
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 2: that's kind of you know, brushes people off. But I

123
00:05:56,839 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 2: never know how to answer those questions when I get

124
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 2: as that, because I think people expect, you know, a

125
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 2: ten word answer that encompasses everything, and there's just not

126
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 2: those kinds of answers.

127
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 1: How much time do you have and if you have

128
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 1: the nine bucks that it's going to cost for this

129
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 1: cup of coffee and a score, all right, exactly, And

130
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:17,479
Speaker 1: then where's the whiteboard? Come on, let's.

131
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 2: Write I usually go with the grilled cheese sandwich, you know,

132
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 2: and it celebrates and the celebration cupcake.

133
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 3: You got to have the celebration cupcake. Oh see, there

134
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 3: we go. See now we've got the menu items out right.

135
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,600
Speaker 3: That's right, perfectly. You're a beautiful Sunday morning. We appreciate

Speaker 1: entertainment world. We're glad you take a few minutes to

140
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 1: sit down with us. Hopefully you take some insights and

141
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 1: a few laughs along the way, and never a shortage

142
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 1: of pop culture and classic rock little notes as we

143
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 1: go through. And then it's probably some holiday holiday holiday

144
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:55,839
Speaker 1: fair mixed in as well. But let's hit the rewind

145
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,359
Speaker 1: button if we can, very quick. Care to get things started.

146
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 1: Let's go to the winning side first in a huge game.

147

149
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:08,679
Speaker 2: the tenth to the five to the end zone. Wave

150
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:09,159
Speaker 2: to him.

00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 4: He's gone baby touchdown Detroit Lions.

152

Speaker 1: three but three touchdowns, had a nineteen yard run. Bottled

157
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 1: up for much of the day, but very effective in

158
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 1: the red zone as he is a bit slipper, and

159
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 1: you hear it on the call there Jared Goff goes

160
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 1: for three h nine Greg. But when we get down

161
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 1: to it, the extra juice that Jamir Gibbs brings. We've

162
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 1: been talking about it all season and here it was

163
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 1: on full display on a Thursday night.

164
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 2: You know, it's funny he actually was way less than

165
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 2: twelve for forty three because that nineteen yarder actually was

166
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 2: a swing screen pass. He just happened to catch it

167
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 2: a yard behind GoF so they made it a running play.

168
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 2: So really they really bottled him up for the most

169
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 2: part in their run game. But you know, a couple

170
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 2: of things really stood out when I watched that tape.

171
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 2: Number one, the Lions are so good with what I

172
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 2: call conventional play action, meaning GoF under center. He's got

173
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 2: the second most conventional play action dropbacks of any quarterback

174
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 2: in the league. Only Stafford has more, and he's phenomenal

175
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 2: over seventy four percent completion percentage, ten yards per attempt,

176
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 2: eight touchdowns, one interception. That's really a foundation of their offense.

177
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 2: The other thing that stands out, and we've probably discussed

178
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 2: this before, Mike, when a team has and I'm talking

179
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:38,119
Speaker 2: to Cowboys now, when a team has a flaw, a weakness,

180
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 2: or just an area that's not particularly strong, as the

181
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 2: Cowboys do with their back end the secondary, any given

182
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 2: week that can be exposed. And that's what happened in

183
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,439
Speaker 2: this game on a number of plays. Their back end

184
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 2: is just not strong enough to match their front, and

185
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 2: they don't have a great edge pass rush either. So

186
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 2: when you combine those two things, any given week, those

187
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 2: issues can crop up, you know. And it's funny. They've

188
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 2: been playing Revel now, the rookie who's back from that

189
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 2: major injury he suffered in college, And you know, it's funny.

190
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:14,079
Speaker 2: The more I watched him, the more I just feel

191
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 2: like he's very long, but he's very stiff. He's very

192
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 2: high cut. He's very upright. His hips are really tight,

193
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:24,319
Speaker 2: and it showed up in this game. I mean, obviously

194
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 2: you've got to defend some really good receivers in Williams

195
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 2: Saint Brown. I mean, these are guys that are difficult

196
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:34,680
Speaker 2: to defend. But the Cowboys back end is just not

197
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:37,720
Speaker 2: quite good enough. And any given week, and it happened

198
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 2: this week, it can just be a problem.

199
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:43,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, I couldn't get home, clearly, Jared Goss sacked once,

200
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 1: but a lot of time to operate the return of

201
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:49,599
Speaker 1: am On Ross Saint Brown, even up till the deadline

202
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,560
Speaker 1: ninety minutes before kicking a lot of questions as whether

203
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,960
Speaker 1: he'd play, he gets that scripted play right off the jump,

204
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 1: and I mean you could hear that place explode after

205
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:01,960
Speaker 1: that for reception. He ends up going for six for

206
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 1: ninety two in that one.

207
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 2: You know, they played twenty one snaps with six offensive linemen,

208
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 2: which you know, again, since they lost, they've lost their

209
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 2: two top tight ends. I guess, well, report is out

210
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 2: for the year. I guess brock Wright is on IR

211
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:18,959
Speaker 2: so I don't know what his status is. But they

212
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 2: still played with some tight ends. Obviously, It's not as

213
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:23,199
Speaker 2: if they don't have any tight ends, so they played

214
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 2: with Ross Terwelli and Anthony Ferkser, but they played twenty

215
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:30,320
Speaker 2: one snaps with Dan Skipper as their six offensive linemen.

216
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 2: So that's obviously, you know, a change they made because

217
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 2: they don't have Laporte and right.

218
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was curious also, you said the six offensive lineman.

219
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 1: I got to be honest selfishly, I was really hoping

220
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 1: to see Frank rag Now somehow find his way back

221
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:46,559
Speaker 1: into the field when that report came. We had Jay

222
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:48,439
Speaker 1: Glazer on with us earlier in the week. He was

223
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 1: talking about how he was trying to convince him I'm

224
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:54,080
Speaker 1: good enough to go. I'll tolerate the pain, Like, dude,

225
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,560
Speaker 1: it's grade three. What are we doing here?

226
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 2: Yeah? Well, I mean that was you know when you

227
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:02,200
Speaker 2: heard that, that was interesting because obviously he hasn't played football,

228
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:04,559
Speaker 2: so that must be an injury that just hasn't healed.

229
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:06,199
Speaker 1: How about that? That is crazy?

230
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, So but anyway.

231
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 1: Either that or he's got some really interesting hobbies off

232
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 1: the field, right right right right on the other side. Conversely,

233
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,199
Speaker 1: we watched the Dallas Cowboys forty four to thirty is

234
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 1: your final? Prescott goes for three seventy six to touchdown.

235
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 1: The two interceptions, you can argue neither of them should

236
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 1: go on him, but unfortunately, that's the way football is played,

237
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:29,960
Speaker 1: that's the way they score it. And we move on.

238
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:32,319
Speaker 1: But there's one play in particular. We want to take

239
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 1: the large thirty thousand foot view from it, but we've

240
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 1: got to hear the play. First off on the.

241
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:42,319
Speaker 4: Thirty one yard line, pressed Doun airing it at deep

242
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 4: the field. Yeah, Nis was deff and covered complete.

243
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, we get that cool sound effect mixed in like

244
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 1: someone had a drum. I don't know. It was like

245
00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:00,959
Speaker 1: insert your classic rock song, maybe a little Fleetwood getting

246
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 1: after it. But the George Pickens play, he finishes on

247
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 1: the night, he's got five catches, just thirty seven yards

248
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 1: on his nine target ceedee Lamb left with a pretty

249
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 1: scary and yeah, crushion six for one one for him

250
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 1: before he departed that one contorting his body trying to

251
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:20,440
Speaker 1: get back on a ball that Dak had put out

252
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 1: to the outside. Uh, and then he lands and you

253
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:27,559
Speaker 1: see the fencing posture and all those we've come to know. Greg.

254
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:32,079
Speaker 2: That's always really difficult to watch and you just feel

255
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:35,200
Speaker 2: really badly because that's not that any concussion is okay,

256
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 2: but that you know, when you see that, as we

257
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,320
Speaker 2: know we remember when that happened with Tua, it just

258
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 2: it just really makes you feel terrible. But you know,

259
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 2: I thought this was an interesting game for the Lions. Obviously,

260
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 2: they're they're playing with some backups in their secondary. They

261
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 2: played a ton of what we call two man coverage,

262
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:53,960
Speaker 2: which is man to man across the board with two

263
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 2: deep safeties. That was far and away their most played coverage,

264
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:01,320
Speaker 2: you know, and there so, which is really actually a

265
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 2: very good coverage to play when you don't feel that

266
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,080
Speaker 2: your corners are are good enough just to line up

267
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 2: and play pure man. And you know, their pass rushes

268
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:14,320
Speaker 2: is interesting. You know, they do some things with pressure

269
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 2: with four man pressures what we call sim pressure zone,

270
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:22,840
Speaker 2: exchange pressures, some five man pressures, and you know, watching

271
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:24,960
Speaker 2: this game, you know, and again I see this every

272
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 2: week because I watch them every week. But thinking back

273
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 2: to that draft mic where they drafted Jamir Gibbs and

274
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:32,840
Speaker 2: Jack Campbell and everybody said, what are they doing. They're

275
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 2: drafting a running back and a linebacker in the first round.

276
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:37,560
Speaker 2: You know, don't you know, you don't do that, you know,

277
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 2: I guess that's kind of worked out.

278
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:42,320
Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, that Campbell kid, he joined us on the

279
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:45,560
Speaker 1: show after the game. He's starting to become friend of

280
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 1: the show. Go hawk Eyes twelve theres you got six solo.

281
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 1: He had a sack and the you know, the tackle

282
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:56,200
Speaker 1: for loss. So a big game for him, and that

283
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:58,959
Speaker 1: that front came up big. They pressured back all day,

284
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 1: which helped, UH to alleviate some of the stress on

285
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 1: that back end. Like you said, you add the alignment

286
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 1: plus the pressure up front. Uh did a good job

287
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:12,200
Speaker 1: to keep DAK firing. But be remiss, we didn't pull

288
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:15,840
Speaker 1: it out from the larger picture. The one play for

289
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 1: George Pickens there in the final throes of the game.

290
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 1: Greg has been dissected every way till Sunday as to

291
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 1: what was said or what was what his read was

292
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 1: on the play. Certainly he took to Instagram and Shottenheimer

293
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 1: addressed him to that responded some Richard Sherman comments. But

294
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 1: the play overall for George Pickens in this game, there

295
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 1: were there were times that, uh, you know, effort is

296
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 1: always something that you know, difficult to quantify, and and

297
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 1: you know, I look, they're they're in between the white lines.

298
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 1: I can only try to speculate so much. But it

299
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 1: seemed like there were a couple of opportunities perhaps uh

300
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 1: left on the field there, but that play in particular

301
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 1: getting the spotlight.

302
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't, you know, to be honest with you, Mike,

303
00:14:57,400 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 2: I don't get into that because you know, you don't

304
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 2: know what's in the guy's head. You don't know any

305
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 2: of that stuff. So, you know, I just I wouldn't

306
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 2: know how to respond to that. You know, I've been

307
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 2: asked that over the years about particular players. I just,

308
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:12,600
Speaker 2: you know, because if you're going to say something negative

309
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 2: about a guy's effort, that is the ultimate knock on

310
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 2: a player, to say that he's really not trying, okay,

311
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 2: And unless you know that, that's just such an easy

312
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 2: thing to say because you have no accountability once you

313
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 2: say that, you know, you put it out there, and

314
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 2: and now that's a knock on a player when it

315
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 2: may or may not be true. So I don't go there,

316
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,280
Speaker 2: and I'm just being honest. That's not something I will

317
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 2: ever address.

318
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just that difficulty, given that you've had a

319
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 1: lot of good will with the you know what he'd

320
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 1: put on tape through the year, and certainly some statistics

321
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 1: where we're talking about the thirty five to million thirty

322
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 1: five to forty million dollar range for the next contract

323
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 1: that Jerry will have to decide on. And in a

324
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 1: big spotlight game with playoff implications that you know, I mean,

325
00:15:58,320 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 1: nobody becomes that eyebrow r.

326
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 2: I guess, Mike, no one said how great he was

327
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 2: the week prior against the Chiefs on Thanksgiving Day, when

328
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:10,400
Speaker 2: he you know, was obviously a huge factor in their win.

329
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 2: See that's the thing. It's always easy to be negative,

330
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 2: as you well know. I mean, look, yeah, you do

331
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:19,040
Speaker 2: radio every day, you know, it's so easy to be negative.

332
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 2: And once that's out there, players have to live with

333
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 2: that and then they have to discuss it. And to me,

334
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 2: you know, I'm not a big fan of that.

335
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 1: I try to delve in the positivity and then you know,

336
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 1: you just try to ask why, like if you see

337
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 1: anything where there's a consistency and those kind of things,

338
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 1: and I generally leave the full brow beating of things

339
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 1: to the others. Yeah, Greg for sure, but you know,

340
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 1: in that particular case, like I don't know what he sees,

341
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 1: you know, where he's reading, if he's looking at it

342
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 1: from a perspective ball do you have these second defensive

343
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 1: back coming back over, et cetera. But certainly a play

344
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 1: that's gotten a run in a back and forth as

345
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:06,679
Speaker 1: the Cowboys look to extend, but overall a night for

346
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:11,360
Speaker 1: the Lions a week before that, their toughness being questioned

347
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 1: by former players. That's where it's always interesting to me.

348
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 1: Where the former players starts chiming in. I'm like, are

349
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 1: you just doing this because you want your podcast or

350
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:23,920
Speaker 1: your TV ratings to and Q rate to jump off?

351
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:27,879
Speaker 1: Or is this legitimately you're trying to tell us something

352
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 1: from people you're talking to.

353
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:32,399
Speaker 2: And again, that's something else. Obviously it seems to carry

354
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:35,399
Speaker 2: more weight when a former player says it, but you

355
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 2: know they're not in the locker room anymore. They don't

356
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:40,959
Speaker 2: really know the answer to those questions. You know, it's

357
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,200
Speaker 2: for years and people now know what I do because

358
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:44,720
Speaker 2: I've been doing it for years. But when I first

359
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:48,120
Speaker 2: started doing a lot of radio and people weren't exactly

360
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:50,880
Speaker 2: sure what I did, I'd get a lot of questions about, well,

361
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:54,119
Speaker 2: is he a leader? You know, the character of a player,

362
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 2: And I'm like, I can't answer that. You know, you

363
00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:58,199
Speaker 2: have to be in the locker room every day to

364
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:01,960
Speaker 2: know that well. And just to just make a definitive

365
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,879
Speaker 2: response about that based on an interview or based on

366
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 2: what you think you saw in a game, to me,

367
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:09,119
Speaker 2: is just really a waste of time.

368
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 1: See, unless you got the full scone and coffee treatment

369
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,720
Speaker 1: there you go, and your celebration cupcake, you couldn't answer

370
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:18,920
Speaker 1: that question. Hey, Barnes and Noble, that's exactly right.

371
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:21,680
Speaker 2: You need the celebration cup I can't even speak until

372
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 2: I have the celebration cupcake.

373
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's it. I mean, look, I need my money

374
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 1: up front. That's right, right, old o, the show business rule.

375
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:33,600
Speaker 1: Get get paid upfront. And then all right for the

376
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 1: Cowboys coming up, you got Minnesota the Chargers, and then

377
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:40,400
Speaker 1: road games against Washington and the Giants to finish off

378
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 1: their slate. All right, as we continue here, it's Fox

Speaker 1: o'clock Eastern time for a roll through there on some

413
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 1: of the biggest plays and breakdowns. GREG game that has

414
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:47,160
Speaker 1: my peaked interest is that game in Buffalo a little

415
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 1: later on today, the Cincinnati Bengals coming off that huge

416
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving win, rolling over those Baltimore Ravens. Now, we look

417
00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:01,720
Speaker 1: at the Bills, a six point favorite at home. Whether

418
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 1: you know, it's starting to get to that time of

419
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:06,200
Speaker 1: year where you've got to check all of the reports

420
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 1: and see what kind of chaos may unfold. So across

421
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:12,920
Speaker 1: the league we got likely snow. It's gonna be about

422
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 1: thirty degrees, So bundle up out there, get your your

423
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:21,159
Speaker 1: best warming beverages and and handwarmers going. I was at

424
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 1: a soccer game here in southern California where people busting

425
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:27,440
Speaker 1: out the big hand warmers last night. I'm like, well,

426
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:32,159
Speaker 1: it's like still like fifty. We've gotten so soft, but

427
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:35,720
Speaker 1: it is what it is. You know it is you

428
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 1: adapt adapt your environments, no question about. But for this

429
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:43,199
Speaker 1: one a lot made you know. When we look at

430
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills week to week trying to guess what

431
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:48,200
Speaker 1: we have Cincinnati, it's the first time we that the

432
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:51,880
Speaker 1: whole band will be together this season. We talked about

433
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:55,720
Speaker 1: Yoshavas as part of the equation last week. We've seen

434
00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 1: Jamar Chase and what he's doing week to week. Tea

435
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 1: Higgins is back and Joe Burrow obviously the head of

436
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 1: the Snake with Chase Brown in the backfield, six straight

437
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 1: games with him with over one hundred total yards, so

438
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 1: balance in the offensive side of things, helping to at

439
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 1: least offset some of those defensive deficiencies.

440
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, and obviously with Burrow you always have a puncher's

441
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 2: chance because he's so good. There may not be a

442
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 2: better quarterback in the league in the pre snap phase

443
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 2: of the game understanding what he's seeing. And one of

444
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 2: the things though with Sean McDermott in his defense is

445
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:34,400
Speaker 2: he's one of the best in the league at changing

446
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 2: the picture pre snap to post snap, and he does

447
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:40,120
Speaker 2: it in subtle ways now and Burrow's always been very

448
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 2: good at innately recognizing that and being able to know

449
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 2: where to go with the ball. The other thing Burrow

450
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:48,720
Speaker 2: always does, he understands the NFL game. If he has

451
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 2: one on one with his receivers outside the numbers Mike,

452
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:55,160
Speaker 2: he's throwing the football and obviously when you have Chase

453
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 2: and Higgins, you've got two very good receivers. But he

454
00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 2: is not shy. He's aggressive the other side of the ball.

455
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 2: To me, I don't know how you feel, is really

456
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:08,040
Speaker 2: fascinating because it's clear that the Bills just do not

457
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 2: believe in their receiving corps at all because they've got

458
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 2: the most physically gifted quarterback in the league and Josh

459
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 2: Allen and essentially they're playing I don't want to say

460
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:20,639
Speaker 2: to hide them, but really not to have the pass

461
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:23,960
Speaker 2: game be a big factor in the games unless it's

462
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 2: absolutely needed. So if it's not needed, they don't really

463
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 2: have Josh Allen drop back very much. So I think

464
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:35,800
Speaker 2: they're telling us how they feel about their receivers. But

465
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 2: their run game is fascinating. Just a quick X and

466
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:42,199
Speaker 2: O point. For a number of weeks we saw them

467
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:44,560
Speaker 2: run this staple play. It was basically what we call

468
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:47,640
Speaker 2: a counter gap scheme where they had Hawes and gilliam

469
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 2: bea pullers and rappers. And then last week they had

470
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:55,200
Speaker 2: forty one rushes against the Steelers, thirty two by James

471
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:58,640
Speaker 2: Cook and nine by Ray Davis. They did not pull

472
00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 2: an offensive lineman one time in the entire forty one rushes.

473
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:05,679
Speaker 2: Now again, they were playing with backup tackles, and I

474
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 2: know Dian Dawkins is back today, but I was just

475
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:11,720
Speaker 2: fascinated by the fact that they had a totally different

476
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:16,199
Speaker 2: run game. And you have to give much tribute to

477
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:18,920
Speaker 2: Aaron Kromer, who's their O line coach, and he's been

478
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 2: doing it for years and years in this league.

479
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:22,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, we go back to one of the greatest pieces

480
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 1: of advice I ever got at a training camp, you know,

481
00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:28,959
Speaker 1: as a little kid out and you know, looking at

482
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:31,679
Speaker 1: the Bears and trying to get some autographs on the

483
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 1: giant sheet of paper after the the the process. Gregan Reedy, sorry,

484
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:40,879
Speaker 1: the great offensive lineman. Yeah, Sun, never stand in front

485
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:41,919
Speaker 1: of the pulling guard.

486
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:46,800
Speaker 2: And you've lived up to that. I imagine you probably

487
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:48,440
Speaker 2: don't stand in front of a lot of pulling guards.

488
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 1: No, you got to keep those seat moving, you know,

489
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:54,520
Speaker 1: try to swim past him. All big ten at Illinois

490
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:56,480
Speaker 1: before becoming a member of the Bears. One of my

491
00:24:56,600 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 1: favorite moments, and really it's pretty they like forest back then, yeah,

492
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:03,199
Speaker 1: that would have been like forest.

493
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:05,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've been out there, yep, Yeah, all.

494
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 1: Those years ago. We used to go once or twice

495
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:10,919
Speaker 1: a year. My grandpa would lotus in the car and

496
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:12,960
Speaker 1: we did the day of it. And you know, back

497
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 1: then you had even more access. Now you're you literally

498
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 1: were on the sidelines. Now you're you know, miles from nowhere,

499
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:22,439
Speaker 1: and a lot of these and even that, a lot

500
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 1: of the teams do one or two big public practices.

501
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:27,639
Speaker 1: Everything else is back in the bubbles. So well, well

502
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 1: you still had that go take advantage of it.

503
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:32,640
Speaker 2: Just to wrap up about the Bills, it'll be interesting

504
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 2: today again, who knows about the weather. Maybe it's not

505
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:37,640
Speaker 2: going to be conducive to throwing the ball, who knows.

506
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:40,640
Speaker 2: But but the thing about the Bengals is they don't

507
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:43,680
Speaker 2: rush the quarterback particularly well, and their back end has

508
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:47,400
Speaker 2: been very, very up and down. So it'll be interesting

509
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 2: to me. And we don't know the answer to this.

510
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 2: How the Bills decide to play. Do they still play

511
00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:54,040
Speaker 2: with the idea that we're really not going to use

512
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:56,919
Speaker 2: the passing game unless it's absolutely necessary, or do they

513
00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:59,080
Speaker 2: look at that defense and think, you know what, we

514
00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:01,680
Speaker 2: can still do some things even though our receiving corps

515
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 2: is not really that good. But to me, that's one

516
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 2: of the fascinating elements of this game.

517
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:09,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, Kinkaid gonna give it a go in the warm ups.

518
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:11,200
Speaker 1: Perhaps that'll be a little bit of a booth. Yes,

519
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:14,680
Speaker 1: we saw Keon Coleman with the touchdown reception. For all

520
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:18,160
Speaker 1: of the missteps and deactivations and everything, Greg, he's still

521
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:21,840
Speaker 1: their number two receiver behind Shakir with his fifty five

522
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:25,680
Speaker 1: catches five hundred and sixty nine yards. Joe Burrow two

523
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 1: career games against Sean McDermott two and oho five ninety

524
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:34,960
Speaker 1: four touchdowns, seur picks and a key quarterback rating of

525
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 1: one hundred and six.

526
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:39,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, that Borrow guy's pretty good. So we'll see how

527
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 2: it goes in this game. And obviously he's got his

528
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:44,199
Speaker 2: guys back. One of the interesting things. And you know,

529
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 2: it was probably more fluky than anything else. But even

530
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:49,680
Speaker 2: though you know they won the game the week prior

531
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 2: against the Ravens on Thursday night, they were only one

532
00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:55,480
Speaker 2: for six in the red zone in terms of touchdown efficiency.

533
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:59,240
Speaker 2: I'm sure they're working on that area, but Burrow was

534
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 2: terrific on the down against the Ravens. I mean, he's

535
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:04,840
Speaker 2: just one of those guys. So we'll see. This is it.

536
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:07,840
Speaker 2: It's a game unless weather plays a major factor where

537
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 2: you're not going to think that this is going to

538
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:10,400
Speaker 2: be a thirteen to ten game.

539
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:14,680
Speaker 1: As I look at what the forecast is for this one,

540
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:17,160
Speaker 1: it looks like about a nine mile an hour win.

541
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:20,359
Speaker 1: So we're both both quarterbacks who can cut through that

542
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:25,000
Speaker 1: for sure. Yeah, and the opportunity to make some hay downfield,

543
00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 1: no question. Now you mentioned the Baltimore Ravens circling back,

544
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:32,879
Speaker 1: big showdown for them, six and six battle in the

545
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:35,399
Speaker 1: AFC North, and I think one guy's gonna have to

546
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 1: come up huge. La Mark quick toss.

547
00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 6: Henry left side, cuts it along the numbers, finds a

548
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:43,800
Speaker 6: gap piece of the twenty ten five touchdown.

549
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:45,200
Speaker 5: Derrick Conray.

550
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:49,359
Speaker 1: There you go, Ravens Radio Network on the call, Derrick

551
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:52,399
Speaker 1: Henry for the year, he's got four one hundred yard games,

552
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:57,920
Speaker 1: ten touchdowns, averaging four point seven yards per carry. Congratulations.

553
00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:01,359
Speaker 1: The Mark Andrews, you know, the other rush because he

554
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:05,080
Speaker 1: had a big contract signed this week. Thirty seven catches

555
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 1: for him on the year. As they try to keep

556
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:12,200
Speaker 1: pushing a little bit. You look at Zay Flowers being

557
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 1: their leader for Pittsburgh, all the questions Aaron Rodgers and

558
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:19,960
Speaker 1: the injury and playing through We've talked a lot about

559
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:22,720
Speaker 1: the air yards per attempt, completing about two thirds of

560
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:26,480
Speaker 1: his pass attempts, but his yardage right now ranks twenty third.

561
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 1: And the rushing attack what has been the hallmark of

562
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:33,040
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh low these many years. Greg sitting down there at

563
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:37,040
Speaker 1: ninety three point eight yards per game. That's twenty eighth

564
00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:38,560
Speaker 1: in your National Football League.

565
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:40,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, they I mean, I'm just being honest. There are

566
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:45,600
Speaker 2: difficult offense to watch right now. They hardly play out

567
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 2: of eleven personnel with three wide receivers. They have the

568
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:51,360
Speaker 2: lowest percentage in the league. They are a big boy offense.

569
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 2: They play a ton with big people. You know, they

570
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:57,560
Speaker 2: play a lot with two tight ends, with three tight ends.

571
00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:00,720
Speaker 2: They obviously want to run. The football game has been

572
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:03,720
Speaker 2: for the most part, relatively anemic. They don't work the

573
00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:07,320
Speaker 2: middle of the field. They certainly again I'm not there,

574
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 2: so I don't know how they structure this during the week,

575
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:13,040
Speaker 2: but just in terms of production, however they choose to

576
00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:16,840
Speaker 2: go about orchestrating their past game, they've certainly not gotten

577
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:21,440
Speaker 2: what I think they expected from DK Metcalf. So you know,

578
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:23,480
Speaker 2: it's an offense that, as I said, is a little

579
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:25,400
Speaker 2: difficult to watch. You don't know what you're going to

580
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:29,240
Speaker 2: get week to week. We'll see. But the Ravens are

581
00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:33,240
Speaker 2: interesting as well. You know, Lamar has been fascinating since

582
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:35,480
Speaker 2: he's been back, and I know he's still fighting injuries.

583
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:37,920
Speaker 2: He misses a lot of practice, so maybe he's still hurt.

584
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:41,280
Speaker 2: There are times he doesn't look quite as explosive as

585
00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:45,440
Speaker 2: we know that he is. And last week I thought,

586
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:48,040
Speaker 2: which was very surprising to me, he missed some kind

587
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:51,760
Speaker 2: of layup throws, you know, routine throws where receivers were open,

588
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 2: which he normally does not do. I mean, over these

589
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:57,320
Speaker 2: last number of years, he's been very, very efficient from

590
00:29:57,400 --> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 2: the pocket, and he's just missed some throws. So this

591
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:04,760
Speaker 2: is I mean, obviously this is almost a playoff game

592
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:06,880
Speaker 2: for these two teams, given there both six and six.

593
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, as we watch this roll up, Metcalf just forty

594
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:14,120
Speaker 1: five catches a little over six hundred yards on the season,

595
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:17,680
Speaker 1: the deep ball is certainly not there with a level

596
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:20,920
Speaker 1: of effectiveness from Aaron Rodgers talking about the air yards

597
00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:24,920
Speaker 1: per attempt and getting the ball out quickly. But you know,

598
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:28,000
Speaker 1: from the raven side of things, we can only look

599
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:29,000
Speaker 1: at what's on the tape.

600
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:29,280
Speaker 2: Right.

601
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 1: It's as you talk about effort, it's also the you know,

602
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:36,280
Speaker 1: once you're out there, I don't have a doctor's like,

603
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:38,560
Speaker 1: you're not getting a doctor's note from me? No, No,

604
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:41,400
Speaker 1: what I can do? So from Tart Jackson missing all

605
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 1: these practices and whatever, you're seeing it on Sundays, you

606
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 1: know where he's not getting to the edge, he's not

607
00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 1: taking the unless it's a full give me layup running

608
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 1: attempt where we're not getting that same level of explosiveness.

609
00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:57,640
Speaker 1: That really changes the complexion of that offense.

610
00:30:58,280 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 2: No, and you're one hundred percent right, And I'm glad

611
00:30:59,920 --> 00:31:02,320
Speaker 2: you said that, because the bottom line is, if you're playing,

612
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:05,320
Speaker 2: players will tell you this, coaches will tell you this.

613
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:09,479
Speaker 2: If you're playing, there's no excuses, you know, either if

614
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:12,760
Speaker 2: you're injured, don't play. If you're playing, you can't say, well, gee,

615
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:15,160
Speaker 2: I wasn't that good, because you know my leg heart

616
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 2: you can't do that. So I'm curious to see if

617
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:21,400
Speaker 2: the back Mitchell plays a little more because he's got

618
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:24,080
Speaker 2: a lot of juice and he had the eighteen yard

619
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:28,480
Speaker 2: touchdown last week against Cincinnati, and he can run. He's

620
00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:31,200
Speaker 2: a good receiver as well, so I'm wondering if he'll

621
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:32,840
Speaker 2: get a few more snaps just to try to get

622
00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:34,760
Speaker 2: a little more explosiveness in their offense.

623
00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:37,239
Speaker 1: All right, we'll give it the minute it's due, as

624
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:39,080
Speaker 1: we try to cover each and every game. That's what

625
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:41,880
Speaker 1: the clock on the wall tells me. Tennessee and Cleveland

626
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:44,920
Speaker 1: over under his thirty four, does Miles Garrett break the

627
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:48,080
Speaker 1: sack record today? Cam Ward's got forty eight on the year.

628
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:51,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's gonna be interesting when you're dealing with two quarterbacks.

629
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:53,920
Speaker 2: And it's a little more bothersome with cam Ward because

630
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:57,400
Speaker 2: he's played more two quarterbacks that and you'd expect it

631
00:31:57,400 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 2: with your dr Sanders because he doesn't have experience. He

632
00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:04,160
Speaker 2: has played, but they both still play at college speed. Uh,

633
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:06,520
Speaker 2: And I think that's been a concern with cam Ward

634
00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:09,000
Speaker 2: even this late in the season, with all his starts.

635
00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:11,360
Speaker 2: You know, it just you have to play quicker. It's

636
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 2: the old be quick, but don't hurry John Wooden line,

637
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:15,560
Speaker 2: You've got to get back in the you got to

638
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 2: get back in the pocket. You got to play in

639
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:19,200
Speaker 2: your back foot, you got you got to get yourself

640
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:22,440
Speaker 2: away from the bodies. You know, in college you don't

641
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:25,320
Speaker 2: necessarily need to do that. Everything shotgun. Everything's kind of

642
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:29,920
Speaker 2: leisurely with sadr you'd expect it. You know, there's no

643
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:32,600
Speaker 2: issue with Schadur at this point, he's played two games.

644
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:35,440
Speaker 2: Uh so the fact that he's not seeing it great,

645
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:39,240
Speaker 2: that he's not playing with a calmness that you'd want. Hey,

646
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:42,480
Speaker 2: that's normal. You know, that's not a referendum on his career.

647
00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:45,720
Speaker 2: That's normal for where he is right now with cam Ward.

648
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:48,320
Speaker 2: He's just on a bad team. And you're right about

649
00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:50,920
Speaker 2: Miles Garrett. Uh, they're going to have to do something

650
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:54,000
Speaker 2: when it's pure pass or third and long. They cannot

651
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:56,440
Speaker 2: have their two tackles Latham and more block him one

652
00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:57,760
Speaker 2: on one. You just can't do that.

653
00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:01,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a difficult proposition, no question about it. Thirty

654
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:05,920
Speaker 1: four Again, the total weather potentially there, it'll be gold

655
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:07,920
Speaker 1: there in Cleveland, and you can also get in if

656
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:10,800
Speaker 1: you want to see Miles Garrett potentially break the sack record.

657
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:12,920
Speaker 1: You can get in for eight dollars, Greg.

658
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:14,160
Speaker 2: Is that true?

659
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:18,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's like ten, well ten games where it's about

660
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:21,120
Speaker 1: one hundred or less the Bears Packers. I was looking

661
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:22,880
Speaker 1: at it the other day. If I was in the Midwest,

662
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:27,000
Speaker 1: Lois get In was one fifty eight. Wow, I'll be

663
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:27,720
Speaker 1: cold as hell.

664
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:29,600
Speaker 2: But it's that time of year.

665
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:34,160
Speaker 1: It's you know, so folks giving up their tickets even

666
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:36,400
Speaker 1: for that match up a little bit based on whether

667
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:38,280
Speaker 1: heck to watch that on TV. Nice?

668
00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:39,760
Speaker 2: You mean you're not going to fly up to Green

669
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:41,320
Speaker 2: Bay and sit there without your shirt on.

670
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 1: Mike, Well, you know, I'm a powerful and attractive man,

671
00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:48,520
Speaker 1: but yeah, the camera would find me and you might

672
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 1: miss some important wrapped down on the play. I mean alignment. No, no, no,

673
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:56,160
Speaker 1: My days of craziness are over. I am actually in.

674
00:33:56,880 --> 00:34:00,240
Speaker 1: Once upon a time, there's an NCAA football game put

675
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:03,120
Speaker 1: out by EA Sports. It was Bill Walsh's College Football

676
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:06,920
Speaker 1: USA and it was the first time Northwestern and then

677
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:09,000
Speaker 1: a bunch of the teams were included. When you make

678
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:12,680
Speaker 1: a big play and there's a fan base group of idiots,

679
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:14,879
Speaker 1: it's me and my buddies. That guy, well, there you go,

680
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:17,920
Speaker 1: So hey, can you get me a free game? Greg?

681
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:19,760
Speaker 2: You're famous, your famous.

682
00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:22,680
Speaker 1: Well, hopefully we're doing some good work here that we

683
00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:25,719
Speaker 1: can extend on the face painted lunacy of a man

684
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:29,400
Speaker 1: child once upon a time at Greg Cosell where you

685
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:31,799
Speaker 1: find him on Twitter, find me over at swall on.

686
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:34,640
Speaker 1: Last one from that game, chimer DK, a little bit

687
00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:38,160
Speaker 1: of celebration moments for those returners making big plays. He's

688
00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:41,800
Speaker 1: almost at two thousand all purpose yards for the season.

689
00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:46,480
Speaker 1: Just your one last note as we can continue, and well,

690
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:50,319
Speaker 1: consider that game occupied and done. As we continue, we've

Speaker 1: Let's hear it.

709
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:53,640
Speaker 3: An Mendoza takes the stat wants to throw it, fires

710
00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:54,440
Speaker 3: it down the field.

711
00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:54,799
Speaker 2: It's free.

712
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:56,080

Speaker 1: Bat final score thirteen to ten, and that one Indiana wins.

715
00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:14,279
Speaker 1: That play of the day, presented by tier Act. For

716

Speaker 1: way tire buying should be greg in the postgame, I

721
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:34,000
Speaker 1: love the Mendoza. A little snippet that's made the rounds

722
00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:36,799
Speaker 1: about a minute twenty seconds long. It starts off with

723
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:40,640
Speaker 1: a lot of emotion, then turns into a WWE shoot interview,

724
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:44,360
Speaker 1: praising his teammates, ready to fight through and with anybody

725
00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:46,960
Speaker 1: right all about blue and holding together.

726
00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:50,040
Speaker 2: Well, who would have thought that Indiana would be the

727
00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:52,560
Speaker 2: number one seed? I guess is what we would call

728
00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:55,400
Speaker 2: it these days, because they will be when it's announced

729
00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:58,360
Speaker 2: today at noon, So gonna be pretty fascinating.

730
00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:00,640
Speaker 1: Mendoza one of the guys who keep my I on

731
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:04,040
Speaker 1: not only for the heisman. Right now, Pavia from Vandy

732
00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:06,319
Speaker 1: takes a little bit of a lead because you get

733
00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:10,680
Speaker 1: saying and Mendoza kind of go into a draw here.

734
00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:13,520
Speaker 1: But Indiana beats Ohio State for the first time since

735
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:17,320
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty eight, when young Anthony Thompson was running wild

736
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:17,760
Speaker 1: like hulking.

737
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:20,560
Speaker 2: I remember him, I remember him very well.

738
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:21,399
Speaker 1: Was years ago.

739
00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:24,279
Speaker 2: Yep, yep, that was I'm not sure a lot of

740
00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:26,640
Speaker 2: people thought that game would be thirteen ten though last night,

741
00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:28,799
Speaker 2: not that we thought it'd be forty five forty. But

742
00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:30,959
Speaker 2: there's not a lot of offense in that game.

743
00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:33,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, coming in I saw the forty eight.

744
00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:36,160
Speaker 1: We talked about it Smith and I on our show

745
00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:38,960
Speaker 1: on Friday, and I'm like, at forty eight seems awful high.

746
00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:46,160
Speaker 1: Now was I expecting thirteen ten? No, but certainly grinded

747
00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:48,839
Speaker 1: out kind of a fair twenty nine or twenty seven

748
00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:52,840
Speaker 1: yard field goal that gets missed a lot of chaos, certainly,

749
00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:57,000
Speaker 1: and we wait for the results and the final playoff

750
00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:58,359
Speaker 1: structure a little later on today.

751
00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:00,960
Speaker 2: I guess the big question is is Ohio state two

752
00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:04,120
Speaker 2: or three given what Georgia did yesterday? So I guess

753
00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:06,480
Speaker 2: we're gonna find that out at noon Eastern today.

754
00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:11,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, impressive Georgia win over Alabama with one of the

755
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:16,920
Speaker 1: dads from my daughter's soccer squad, whearing is bulldog's sweatshirt.

756
00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:19,200
Speaker 1: He comes running up to be like, yeah, it's like

757
00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:22,440
Speaker 1: at that point, it wasn't even halftime, and he.

758
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:24,799
Speaker 2: Was all right, right, Well, it seemed to be over

759
00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:25,879
Speaker 2: pretty early in that one.

760
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:28,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's no question about it, all right. Another team,

761
00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:31,600
Speaker 1: Another big battle that we have going on AFC South

762
00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:36,520
Speaker 1: Indy Indianapolis. Bolt's a narrow favorite on the road at Jacksonville.

763
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:38,399
Speaker 1: Let's have a quick Trevor Lawrence.

764
00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:41,200
Speaker 4: Love shotgun for Mason in a two tight end set

765
00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:43,319
Speaker 4: for Trevor Lawrence dropping to throw.

766
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:46,760
Speaker 1: Trevor looks, looks lots of time. How far is back corner?

767
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:48,239
Speaker 1: The ends over in the middle of the ends on

768
00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:53,279
Speaker 1: touchdown Breenton Strange in the middle of the field. What

769
00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:57,759
Speaker 1: twenty one yard touchdown catch? Welcome back Brenton Strange trying

770
00:38:57,800 --> 00:39:00,720
Speaker 1: to find some level of consistency. Maybe him being healthy

771
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:03,760
Speaker 1: is what they get to balance out Etn and Tooting.

772
00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:05,880
Speaker 1: What they've had. Trevor Lawrence a couple of back to

773
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:08,759
Speaker 1: back strong games for him, He's taken a bunch of

774
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:12,240
Speaker 1: sacks over the year, and we've got seven players between

775
00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:15,920
Speaker 1: eighteen and thirty six receptions. Jacobe Meyer still finding his

776
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:19,759
Speaker 1: way in there, Greg, But a huge showdown here because

777
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:22,000
Speaker 1: people jumping off the Indianapolis bandwagon.

778
00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:24,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not sure a lot of people realize how

779
00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:27,120
Speaker 2: good the Jaguars defense has been. I know it's always

780
00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:29,719
Speaker 2: a focus on the quarterbacks, Mike, but their defense has

781
00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:33,399
Speaker 2: been really, really good, especially their run defense. I think

782
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:36,760
Speaker 2: their first year coordinator, Anthony Campanelli has done a terrific

783
00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:40,160
Speaker 2: job too with pressure concepts. But you know, I think

784
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:42,600
Speaker 2: the way it's played out with Liam Cohen this year,

785
00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:45,359
Speaker 2: they want to be a running football team. They have

786
00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:48,759
Speaker 2: two explosive backs in Atn and Tooting, and I think

787
00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:51,520
Speaker 2: they would love to play in games where Lawrence drops

788
00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:54,439
Speaker 2: back thirty or less times. I think that's the way

789
00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:56,320
Speaker 2: they would ideally like to play.

790
00:39:56,239 --> 00:39:59,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, grinding down. He's at fifty nine point seven percent

791
00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:02,840
Speaker 1: completion eight last couple of weeks. As you bring Meyers

792
00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:05,759
Speaker 1: back in and Strange on that play, it's like perhaps

793
00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:08,799
Speaker 1: a little more continuity and they can start pulling the

794
00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:11,200
Speaker 1: strings a little more. Hey, with the iHeartRadio app stream

Speaker 1: maybe you're just seeing it for the first time. It's

809
00:40:58,120 --> 00:41:00,279
Speaker 1: new to you. Like NBC used to say, they do

810
00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:04,319

817
00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:26,319
Speaker 1: fifteen minutes of the week. That's pretty lofty praise for

818
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:29,120
Speaker 1: you there, Greg co Cell. So you bring it each

819
00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:29,800
Speaker 1: and every week.

820
00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:34,160
Speaker 2: Hey, I'll take it. You know. It's who doesn't like that?

821
00:41:34,239 --> 00:41:35,440
Speaker 2: You know? Take that?

822
00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:38,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's one of you. You print off and

823
00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:41,640
Speaker 1: start putting it on your business card. Audry list of

824
00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:42,920
Speaker 1: guys that tell me I'm great?

825
00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:45,120
Speaker 2: Does anybody have a business card these days?

826
00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:47,080
Speaker 1: They don't know it's digital At this point.

827
00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:49,280
Speaker 2: I know no one has a business card anymore.

828
00:41:49,600 --> 00:41:51,239
Speaker 1: I don't know. Once upon a time I used to

829
00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:53,359
Speaker 1: like to collect those. I have a giant box of them.

830
00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:58,000
Speaker 1: Most of those products probably sadly may not be with us,

831
00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:01,440
Speaker 1: or certainly they're not at those same jobs. I can

832
00:42:01,520 --> 00:42:04,399
Speaker 1: tell you that there's no question of that. So it's

833
00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:07,880
Speaker 1: certainly a lot of movement around today. We'll see movement.

834
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:12,440
Speaker 1: College football playoff will be announced a little later on

835
00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:15,880
Speaker 1: this morning, So great anticipation. What goes on, all the

836
00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:21,000
Speaker 1: politicking for Alabama and Miami and no tre Dame go

837
00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:25,840
Speaker 1: on down the line, add Vanderbilt and some missives and

838
00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:30,040
Speaker 1: some quantum mechanics and numbers and number theory that's going

839
00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:32,520
Speaker 1: around out there. See I'm just kind of getting a

840
00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:35,359
Speaker 1: little loose with the terminology, but you know, it's those

841
00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:38,640
Speaker 1: things where everybody wants to stump like they're on Capitol

842
00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:42,480
Speaker 1: Hill for their squads, the great Debates of twenty twenty

843
00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:45,959
Speaker 1: five until the inevitable, as you alluded to last hour,

844
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:50,359
Speaker 1: Greg inevitably sixteen, and then that won't be enough. So

845
00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:55,120
Speaker 1: it'll go on and on on, spidering out of control.

846
00:42:55,719 --> 00:42:58,800
Speaker 1: But then again, that'll get my Northwestern Wildcats a chance

847
00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:01,120
Speaker 1: somewhere down the line when we get to the field

848
00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:01,520
Speaker 1: of thirty.

849
00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:04,760
Speaker 2: Are they Bowl eligible this year? They are good.

850
00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:06,840
Speaker 1: He did a good job to finish it off. And

851
00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:10,880
Speaker 1: then Fitzgerald's signs the deal with Michigan State and immediately

852
00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:14,040
Speaker 1: the Acrosure people drop almost three hundred million dollars in

853
00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:14,920
Speaker 1: the athletic Yeah.

854
00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:17,000
Speaker 2: No, my buddy Pat Fitzgerald glad to see it. I

855
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:18,840
Speaker 2: know he wanted to get back into coaching. That that

856
00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:23,120
Speaker 2: he'll he'll be successful whatever that means. You know, in

857
00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:25,279
Speaker 2: this world of college football, you have no idea what

858
00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:27,200
Speaker 2: that means. But I think he'll be successful.

859
00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:30,040
Speaker 1: I will say this, I've stolen the one mantra that

860
00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:33,879
Speaker 1: was part of Pat Fitzgerald's run at Northwestern. Every day,

861
00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:37,439
Speaker 1: all of us, the goal is want to know, get

862
00:43:37,480 --> 00:43:39,600
Speaker 1: on that piece out of you're want to know, wake

863
00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:42,759
Speaker 1: it up. Then it's up to you with your day.

864
00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:47,280
Speaker 1: So be blessed and go find some good things out there.

865
00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:49,319
Speaker 1: A lot of good football on the slate, a lot

866
00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:52,960
Speaker 1: of curiosities. Some matchups maybe they're a little lesser than

867
00:43:53,160 --> 00:43:57,000
Speaker 1: for you, but all have fantasy purposes. All have, of course,

868
00:43:57,080 --> 00:43:59,440
Speaker 1: the wagering world to countdown to kick off presented by

869
00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:01,840
Speaker 1: bed MG. I'm coming up next hour for you to

870
00:44:01,840 --> 00:44:05,440
Speaker 1: break all that down. But a huge game in the NFC,

871
00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:09,799
Speaker 1: my beloved, the beloved Chicago Bears on the road at

872
00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:12,040
Speaker 1: Green Bay. Six and a half for seven is what

873
00:44:12,080 --> 00:44:14,480
Speaker 1: you're seeing across the board. For the betting line forty

874
00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:17,240
Speaker 1: four of the total. It will be cold in the teens.

875
00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:19,560
Speaker 1: As I mentioned, this is a week if you ever

876
00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:21,799
Speaker 1: wanted to go to an NFL game. It seems like

877
00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:26,160
Speaker 1: there's a lot of spots where affordability might be there

878
00:44:26,239 --> 00:44:28,160
Speaker 1: for you. But let's start with the Green Bay side

879
00:44:28,160 --> 00:44:31,000
Speaker 1: of thing, because they're getting some reinforcements for Jordan love Dan.

880
00:44:31,080 --> 00:44:35,360
Speaker 4: Here's the snap Glove looks downfield, bloffs at left side going.

881
00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:37,480
Speaker 5: For Wex over the shoulder, catches made.

882
00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:39,040
Speaker 1: Is it a touchdown?

883
00:44:39,640 --> 00:44:42,239
Speaker 2: A tumbling grab in the left side of the end

884
00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:44,400
Speaker 2: zone A touchdown or not?

885
00:44:44,680 --> 00:44:46,040
Speaker 1: Yes, it's a touchdown.

886
00:44:46,120 --> 00:44:52,040
Speaker 2: Really gonna field? The touchdown has been confirmed. You gotta

887
00:44:52,040 --> 00:44:52,560
Speaker 2: be kidding me.

888
00:44:52,640 --> 00:44:55,359
Speaker 1: Right there it is Packers Radio networking on the call,

889
00:44:55,400 --> 00:44:59,480
Speaker 1: the unmistakable voice of Wayne Lavy painting the picture for you.

890
00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:04,040
Speaker 1: There the diving catch from Wis they get read back today? Yes,

891
00:45:04,160 --> 00:45:08,040
Speaker 1: they keep bolstering that receiving corp. Watson came back. You

892
00:45:08,160 --> 00:45:10,839
Speaker 1: got Wix playing some good ball. You got Dobbs still

893
00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:15,000
Speaker 1: waiting on Golden but getting read back. Another member of

894
00:45:15,040 --> 00:45:19,320
Speaker 1: that highly vaunted Green Bay receiving Corp coming back. Another

895
00:45:19,320 --> 00:45:22,560
Speaker 1: weapon for Jordan Love against this Bear secondary still depleted

896
00:45:22,560 --> 00:45:23,360
Speaker 1: in the back seven.

897
00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:26,919
Speaker 2: Yes, and Love has been playing very good football. He's

898
00:45:26,960 --> 00:45:30,120
Speaker 2: he you know, a lot of people might forget he's

899
00:45:30,160 --> 00:45:32,799
Speaker 2: it seems like he's been around for years and years. Mike. Yeah,

900
00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:35,440
Speaker 2: he's only his third year as a starter, and he's

901
00:45:35,520 --> 00:45:39,520
Speaker 2: becoming a much more controlled, more efficient player. Every once

902
00:45:39,520 --> 00:45:41,799
Speaker 2: in a while he'll make a throw that is a

903
00:45:41,880 --> 00:45:45,120
Speaker 2: little reckless, but he's only thrown three interceptions this year.

904
00:45:45,160 --> 00:45:49,600
Speaker 2: I think with is it nineteen touchdowns maybe team so yeah,

905
00:45:49,600 --> 00:45:52,719
Speaker 2: I think he's he's just growing up as a quarterback.

906
00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:55,560
Speaker 2: He's becoming a more efficient player. They want to run

907
00:45:55,560 --> 00:45:59,080
Speaker 2: the ball obviously, so it's a balanced offense. They're an

908
00:45:59,080 --> 00:46:02,239
Speaker 2: intriguing offense. Now the other side of the ball. I

909
00:46:02,280 --> 00:46:04,439
Speaker 2: bet it was not as much of a Bears guy

910
00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:06,680
Speaker 2: as you are. I doubt it was on your bing

911
00:46:06,719 --> 00:46:09,600
Speaker 2: o card last week that Manogay and Swift would combine

912
00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:12,400
Speaker 2: for forty for two fifty five. You didn't see that coming, now,

913
00:46:12,440 --> 00:46:12,920
Speaker 2: did you?

914
00:46:12,960 --> 00:46:13,080
Speaker 5: No?

915
00:46:13,320 --> 00:46:15,000
Speaker 1: I didn't. I mean I do like the fact that

916
00:46:15,040 --> 00:46:18,240
Speaker 1: you got the Manongai comparisons and what he's done against

917
00:46:18,560 --> 00:46:21,319
Speaker 1: the exploits of Ashton genty but we don't have time

918
00:46:21,360 --> 00:46:24,279
Speaker 1: to break down all the deficiencies, no right now. But

919
00:46:24,480 --> 00:46:27,080
Speaker 1: when we look at that Bears run game overall, Greg

920
00:46:27,120 --> 00:46:31,200
Speaker 1: what two yards behind Buffalo in terms of yards per game,

921
00:46:32,080 --> 00:46:35,840
Speaker 1: giving them balance. Credit to that. They've built the offensive

922
00:46:35,840 --> 00:46:38,440
Speaker 1: line they brought in and Eric b Enemy who's helping

923
00:46:38,520 --> 00:46:39,680
Speaker 1: to run the control.

924
00:46:40,080 --> 00:46:42,960
Speaker 2: It's a fascinating offensive line too. I mean they controlled

925
00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:45,480
Speaker 2: the ball last week for over forty minutes, running almost

926
00:46:45,560 --> 00:46:49,280
Speaker 2: exclusively outside zone, which, by the way, the Eagles played

927
00:46:49,400 --> 00:46:52,920
Speaker 2: absolutely the wrong way. But their O line is fascinating

928
00:46:52,920 --> 00:46:55,040
Speaker 2: because the left side of their O line, now that

929
00:46:55,239 --> 00:46:59,560
Speaker 2: Trapillo is playing, the left side is more athletic than

930
00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:03,399
Speaker 2: maulers and movers, whereas the right side, those guys are

931
00:47:03,480 --> 00:47:06,520
Speaker 2: maulers and movers. So right is on the right side

932
00:47:06,600 --> 00:47:11,520
Speaker 2: Jackson's on the right side, those guys are movers, they're maulers.

933
00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:14,960
Speaker 2: The left side is more athletic. So it's a really

934
00:47:15,040 --> 00:47:17,600
Speaker 2: fascinating dichotomy what they have on the right versus what

935
00:47:17,640 --> 00:47:19,919
Speaker 2: they have on the left. But they ran a ton

936
00:47:19,960 --> 00:47:23,319
Speaker 2: of outside zone last week, and as I said, the

937
00:47:23,360 --> 00:47:26,040
Speaker 2: wrong way to play outside zone is to have your

938
00:47:26,080 --> 00:47:29,640
Speaker 2: defensive line move laterally. You have to have some kind

939
00:47:29,640 --> 00:47:32,000
Speaker 2: of vertical knockback, which is not to say you should

940
00:47:32,040 --> 00:47:34,560
Speaker 2: be shooting gaps. Those are two different things. But the

941
00:47:34,600 --> 00:47:37,839
Speaker 2: Eagles had no vertical knockback at all. And what I

942
00:47:37,840 --> 00:47:41,839
Speaker 2: thought was really good by Ben Johnson. And obviously he's

943
00:47:42,040 --> 00:47:43,560
Speaker 2: a little smarter than I am when it comes to

944
00:47:43,600 --> 00:47:46,359
Speaker 2: this stuff, but he did such a good job with

945
00:47:46,560 --> 00:47:49,800
Speaker 2: motion and the reason motion is so effective in the

946
00:47:49,840 --> 00:47:52,080
Speaker 2: run game. It almost goes back. It reminded me of

947
00:47:52,200 --> 00:47:56,439
Speaker 2: Joe Gibbs years and years ago with Washington using motion

948
00:47:56,520 --> 00:47:59,920
Speaker 2: because it changes run support and it can benefit you

949
00:48:00,400 --> 00:48:03,120
Speaker 2: depending on how the defense reacts. And they got the

950
00:48:03,120 --> 00:48:05,840
Speaker 2: Eagles to react exactly the way they wanted them to

951
00:48:06,120 --> 00:48:07,240
Speaker 2: on a number of runs.

952
00:48:07,320 --> 00:48:10,320
Speaker 1: See if you can't find that weak spot right testing

953
00:48:10,360 --> 00:48:14,480
Speaker 1: the link. I always use the Jurassic Park Raptors analogy

954
00:48:14,520 --> 00:48:16,440
Speaker 1: of all, right, where are we gonna find our soft spot?

955
00:48:16,680 --> 00:48:19,640
Speaker 1: That's where we're running. That's the big test today. Green

956
00:48:19,680 --> 00:48:23,920
Speaker 1: Bay has been fantastic against run and run support. Roma

957
00:48:23,960 --> 00:48:27,239
Speaker 1: Dunsay out for this one. Some more Loveland, more Luther

958
00:48:27,480 --> 00:48:32,960
Speaker 1: Burden as he keeps rolling up in the receiving corps

959
00:48:32,960 --> 00:48:36,880
Speaker 1: as well. There Greg, but for Caleb Williams each and

960
00:48:36,880 --> 00:48:40,520
Speaker 1: every week. Everybody is looking for three hundred yards. Once

961
00:48:40,600 --> 00:48:42,160
Speaker 1: upon a time it was good enough just to win.

962
00:48:43,440 --> 00:48:45,279
Speaker 2: Yeah. And also the thing that he's doing, even though

963
00:48:45,320 --> 00:48:47,560
Speaker 2: he still misses some throws that you just have to make,

964
00:48:48,280 --> 00:48:50,680
Speaker 2: he doesn't turn the ball over, which is critical. So

965
00:48:50,840 --> 00:48:53,200
Speaker 2: if you can run the ball with some degree of success,

966
00:48:53,200 --> 00:48:55,719
Speaker 2: and they've actually done that, they have the second best

967
00:48:55,840 --> 00:48:58,040
Speaker 2: running game in the National Football League. I'm not sure

968
00:48:58,040 --> 00:49:00,239
Speaker 2: a lot of people know that would have thought that

969
00:49:00,480 --> 00:49:03,000
Speaker 2: was going to be the case. It was all Caleb Williams.

970
00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:06,840
Speaker 2: Caleb Williams, So that's compensated for the fact that Caleb

971
00:49:06,920 --> 00:49:10,680
Speaker 2: is a below sixty percent completion guy and miss misses

972
00:49:10,719 --> 00:49:13,560
Speaker 2: too many routine throws at this point in his development.

973
00:49:13,840 --> 00:49:16,760
Speaker 2: But the defense, even with a lot of people missing,

974
00:49:17,400 --> 00:49:19,839
Speaker 2: and last week they obviously got the two corners back

975
00:49:19,920 --> 00:49:24,040
Speaker 2: Johnson and Gordon, but their defense has played extremely well

976
00:49:24,680 --> 00:49:27,879
Speaker 2: given you know, all the missing players, so it's been

977
00:49:28,160 --> 00:49:32,359
Speaker 2: a really nice mix for them. And Williams has made

978
00:49:32,360 --> 00:49:34,960
Speaker 2: plays in the fourth quarter. Even though he's not been

979
00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:38,520
Speaker 2: consistent from quarter one through quarter four, he certainly made

980
00:49:38,520 --> 00:49:40,400
Speaker 2: plays when they've counted in the fourth quarter.

981
00:49:40,560 --> 00:49:42,520
Speaker 1: This is where you get into hot take theater in

982
00:49:42,880 --> 00:49:45,040
Speaker 1: sports Dog Radio Greg and start yelling, he's got the

983
00:49:45,080 --> 00:49:48,520
Speaker 1: clutch gene. He's a winner. See what I did there.

984
00:49:48,640 --> 00:49:50,320
Speaker 1: That's called back to like week one.

985
00:49:50,160 --> 00:49:51,760
Speaker 2: When we were well, no, no, I think you missed.

986
00:49:51,840 --> 00:49:54,080
Speaker 2: I think you missed another cliche. He's got it?

987
00:49:54,320 --> 00:49:58,399
Speaker 1: Oh it? Oh oh okay, yeah, he's got it. Yeah

988
00:49:58,440 --> 00:50:00,799
Speaker 1: all th So, I guess.

989
00:50:00,840 --> 00:50:04,120
Speaker 2: When a quarterback loses, did they leave it at home?

990
00:50:04,920 --> 00:50:05,920
Speaker 2: I never understood that.

991
00:50:06,200 --> 00:50:08,960
Speaker 1: Maybe they never actually possessed it. We don't know. I mean,

992
00:50:08,960 --> 00:50:12,760
Speaker 1: that's just the debate. Week to week plus seventeen turnover

993
00:50:12,840 --> 00:50:17,560
Speaker 1: differential far and away the best in the National Football League.

994
00:50:17,880 --> 00:50:20,680
Speaker 1: As we continue through the slate, going through week fourteen,

995
00:50:20,800 --> 00:50:23,920
Speaker 1: getting you set, you know, we talked a lot. We've

996
00:50:24,800 --> 00:50:28,680
Speaker 1: talked a lot about the Philadelphia Eagles and their offensive woes,

997
00:50:28,680 --> 00:50:32,279
Speaker 1: a lot of finger pointing, a lot of back and forth.

998
00:50:32,360 --> 00:50:36,240
Speaker 1: Sirianni reportedly back in on more of the offensive meetings

999
00:50:36,280 --> 00:50:38,439
Speaker 1: and game planning as they get ready for a big

1000
00:50:38,440 --> 00:50:42,080
Speaker 1: Monday night game against the Los Angeles Chargers and Justin

1001
00:50:42,239 --> 00:50:46,320
Speaker 1: Herbert playing with the hand injury coming out of a surgery.

1002
00:50:46,680 --> 00:50:49,600
Speaker 1: They will get Hampton back to the backfield and he

1003
00:50:49,680 --> 00:50:53,000
Speaker 1: and Vadell. That is really the most intriguing for me,

1004
00:50:53,120 --> 00:50:55,040
Speaker 1: particularly coming off of what the Bears just did to

1005
00:50:55,080 --> 00:50:58,880
Speaker 1: the Eagles and no Jalen Carter who suddenly had both

1006
00:50:58,920 --> 00:50:59,960
Speaker 1: shoulders operated.

1007
00:51:00,320 --> 00:51:02,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, so now you have to go with a little

1008
00:51:02,080 --> 00:51:04,839
Speaker 2: more depth. Keep in mind, Jordan Davis has played about

1009
00:51:04,880 --> 00:51:07,800
Speaker 2: five hundred snaps this year. He's played over sixty percent

1010
00:51:07,840 --> 00:51:10,960
Speaker 2: of the snaps. I'm not sure that's what you ultimately

1011
00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:13,440
Speaker 2: want with him. So now you get into depth, but

1012
00:51:13,760 --> 00:51:17,640
Speaker 2: you know that Eagle situation. The bottom line is to me,

1013
00:51:18,239 --> 00:51:21,640
Speaker 2: they're really in many ways the same team they were

1014
00:51:21,760 --> 00:51:25,239
Speaker 2: a year ago. They just can't run the ball. So

1015
00:51:25,320 --> 00:51:29,560
Speaker 2: they're a running football team that can't run, and they

1016
00:51:29,600 --> 00:51:32,520
Speaker 2: do not have a drop back passing game to compensate.

1017
00:51:32,719 --> 00:51:34,839
Speaker 2: But they did not have a drop back passing game

1018
00:51:34,880 --> 00:51:37,520
Speaker 2: a year ago either, and I think that's what people

1019
00:51:37,520 --> 00:51:39,840
Speaker 2: are missing. I mean last year, and I've said this

1020
00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:42,960
Speaker 2: so many times, that Jalen Hurts through for less than

1021
00:51:42,960 --> 00:51:45,520
Speaker 2: two hundred yards and nine or ten games last year

1022
00:51:45,800 --> 00:51:48,919
Speaker 2: they didn't win because of their passing game a year ago. Now,

1023
00:51:49,080 --> 00:51:51,719
Speaker 2: the one thing that does stand out this year is

1024
00:51:51,960 --> 00:51:55,440
Speaker 2: the Hurtz factor, as a runner by design that has

1025
00:51:55,520 --> 00:51:57,840
Speaker 2: not been a part of their offense, and I wonder

1026
00:51:58,120 --> 00:52:01,040
Speaker 2: why that is. I can't answer that, but that's something

1027
00:52:01,080 --> 00:52:04,200
Speaker 2: that ideally you think they'd like to get back to,

1028
00:52:04,600 --> 00:52:06,799
Speaker 2: unless there's something going on there that we don't know,

1029
00:52:06,840 --> 00:52:09,359
Speaker 2: which is probably the case. But when you get right

1030
00:52:09,400 --> 00:52:12,960
Speaker 2: down to it, the process by which they're playing is

1031
00:52:13,000 --> 00:52:16,120
Speaker 2: the same as a year ago. It's just they've been

1032
00:52:16,280 --> 00:52:18,080
Speaker 2: totally unable to run the ball.

1033
00:52:18,239 --> 00:52:21,120
Speaker 1: Ever since they Aj Brown told everybody to drop him

1034
00:52:21,160 --> 00:52:24,360
Speaker 1: off his fantasy squads. Looking at a total of thirty

1035
00:52:24,400 --> 00:52:26,759
Speaker 1: three targets over the last three weeks, a total of

1036
00:52:26,800 --> 00:52:31,120
Speaker 1: twenty five receptions, three touchdowns, had two in that loss

1037
00:52:31,160 --> 00:52:34,759
Speaker 1: to Chicago, going back to Black Friday. But when we

1038
00:52:35,120 --> 00:52:38,560
Speaker 1: look at the run game, just to extrapolate for those

1039
00:52:38,600 --> 00:52:41,920
Speaker 1: that haven't watched the Saquon Barkley experience this year, just

1040
00:52:42,360 --> 00:52:45,240
Speaker 1: one game greater than eighty yards had that hundred fifty

1041
00:52:45,280 --> 00:52:48,719
Speaker 1: plus in that revenge game against the Giants, but otherwise

1042
00:52:48,920 --> 00:52:50,560
Speaker 1: he hasn't scored since Week four.

1043
00:52:50,680 --> 00:52:53,879
Speaker 2: Great, I know, No, they've been totally unable to run

1044
00:52:53,880 --> 00:52:57,520
Speaker 2: the ball. There's many reasons why. Clearly, the offensive line

1045
00:52:57,520 --> 00:53:02,080
Speaker 2: has not been very good. Was expected going into the season.

1046
00:53:03,239 --> 00:53:07,120
Speaker 2: You know, Barkley, it's always hard when you watch tape

1047
00:53:07,120 --> 00:53:10,280
Speaker 2: to figure out what a back is because you know backs,

1048
00:53:10,320 --> 00:53:14,319
Speaker 2: there's an innate DNA thing with backs. Obviously, in any

1049
00:53:14,360 --> 00:53:17,000
Speaker 2: given run there's a path, but once two or three

1050
00:53:17,040 --> 00:53:20,000
Speaker 2: steps are taken, then then a back just goes with

1051
00:53:20,080 --> 00:53:22,040
Speaker 2: his god given ability. Then he has to react to

1052
00:53:22,080 --> 00:53:25,880
Speaker 2: what he sees. Uh, because you know, gaps are fluid,

1053
00:53:25,920 --> 00:53:29,040
Speaker 2: they change once the ball snapped, so you know it

1054
00:53:29,120 --> 00:53:31,839
Speaker 2: might be a certain run. Hey, here's outside zone. You're

1055
00:53:31,880 --> 00:53:34,560
Speaker 2: gonna your first two or three steps, you're attacking the

1056
00:53:34,600 --> 00:53:37,640
Speaker 2: outside leg of the tight end. But after that then

1057
00:53:37,680 --> 00:53:40,520
Speaker 2: you're reacting to what you see. So it's always hard

1058
00:53:40,560 --> 00:53:42,640
Speaker 2: to say whether a back is seeing it right or

1059
00:53:42,680 --> 00:53:46,279
Speaker 2: seeing it wrong. But the bottom line is Barkley has

1060
00:53:46,560 --> 00:53:50,040
Speaker 2: very few runs where he kind of gets past the

1061
00:53:50,080 --> 00:53:54,240
Speaker 2: first level with any clarity. So it's it's it's really

1062
00:53:54,280 --> 00:53:55,920
Speaker 2: been a bad run game when you get right down

1063
00:53:55,960 --> 00:53:56,239
Speaker 2: to it.

1085
00:55:01,719 --> 00:55:03,920
Speaker 1: I think we'll talk about that next. He's Greg co

1086
00:55:04,040 --> 00:55:05,040
Speaker 1: sal I'm my carbon in this.

00:55:19,440 --> 00:55:22,240
Speaker 1: Perfett on the Ones and twos. This is a staple

1090
00:55:22,320 --> 00:55:25,320
Speaker 1: when he comes in, Greg Cosis, this is my people's tradition.

1091
00:55:25,560 --> 00:55:29,600
Speaker 1: There you go, little Dominic, the Christmas Donkey for those unawares,

1092
00:55:29,640 --> 00:55:33,640
Speaker 1: we go deep into the reservoirs, mashups and chaos here

1093
00:55:33,640 --> 00:55:37,160
Speaker 1: in our holiday holiday holiday music. Wherever you are, however

1094
00:55:37,200 --> 00:55:40,239
Speaker 1: you're celebrating this season, which is a full month of

1095
00:55:40,400 --> 00:55:45,200
Speaker 1: glorious playoff jockeying in the National Football League and college football.

1096
00:55:45,360 --> 00:55:48,120
Speaker 1: We still have a couple more hours for the polls

1097
00:55:48,200 --> 00:55:51,080
Speaker 1: to settle, uh and the excitement of that reveal. A

1098
00:55:51,160 --> 00:55:53,319
Speaker 1: little bit later on, we've got action on the pitch

1099
00:55:53,320 --> 00:55:57,000
Speaker 1: in the Premier League final, couple of laps of Abu Dhabi,

1100
00:55:57,960 --> 00:56:02,319
Speaker 1: the Grand Prix with stopping pastre Top Orlando Norris trying

1101
00:56:02,320 --> 00:56:05,520
Speaker 1: to make up some ground here in the final laps.

1102
00:56:06,000 --> 00:56:08,920
Speaker 1: We cover it all here on a Fox Football Sunday,

1103
00:56:08,920 --> 00:56:10,799
Speaker 1: and that'll be at the news desk. Is our guy,

1104
00:56:10,920 --> 00:56:12,920
Speaker 1: Isaac Low and cron in just a couple of minutes

1105
00:56:13,480 --> 00:56:16,800
Speaker 1: as we roll up here, Greg, But we've got Houston

1106
00:56:16,840 --> 00:56:19,120
Speaker 1: and Kansas City later on tonight, one of the most

1107
00:56:19,320 --> 00:56:23,279
Speaker 1: fascinating games I think on the slate here forty one

1108
00:56:23,280 --> 00:56:25,759
Speaker 1: and a half your total. It's in Kansas City, it'll

1109
00:56:25,840 --> 00:56:30,120
Speaker 1: be cold. Houston's defense the number one scoring defense we've

1110
00:56:30,120 --> 00:56:33,040
Speaker 1: got going into the National Football League for Kansas City.

1111
00:56:33,560 --> 00:56:37,840
Speaker 1: Continuing the handwringing, I've used the analogy of the Halloween

1112
00:56:38,040 --> 00:56:41,439
Speaker 1: horror movies of until you're sure the villain is dead,

1113
00:56:41,960 --> 00:56:45,160
Speaker 1: and they've already decided there's no sequel. They can still

1114
00:56:45,239 --> 00:56:48,320
Speaker 1: raise up. But a big spot here. Now they're playing

1115
00:56:48,400 --> 00:56:51,040
Speaker 1: must win football all the way through for Patrick Mahomes.

1116
00:56:52,040 --> 00:56:55,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think that they're going to be without

1117
00:56:55,719 --> 00:56:57,560
Speaker 2: their tackles if I'm not trying.

1118
00:56:57,560 --> 00:57:00,319
Speaker 1: You're looking at two or three offensive line at least

1119
00:57:00,320 --> 00:57:02,600
Speaker 1: the tackles, and then a couple that will be waiting

1120
00:57:02,680 --> 00:57:03,359
Speaker 1: till game time.

1121
00:57:03,880 --> 00:57:06,880
Speaker 2: Yeah. So, I mean this is not the defense you

1122
00:57:06,920 --> 00:57:10,080
Speaker 2: want to be in that situation against. And even they're

1123
00:57:10,200 --> 00:57:13,160
Speaker 2: regular left guard Sue Mattea, the second year player, he's

1124
00:57:13,200 --> 00:57:15,640
Speaker 2: not a very good one on one pass protector. Now

1125
00:57:15,680 --> 00:57:19,200
Speaker 2: we always focus on the Texans with Hunter and Anderson,

1126
00:57:19,440 --> 00:57:22,240
Speaker 2: but they are really good on the inside as well.

1127
00:57:22,960 --> 00:57:24,920
Speaker 2: This is going to be a very intriguing game because

1128
00:57:24,960 --> 00:57:28,440
Speaker 2: Mahomes as this year has progressed. I mean, he is

1129
00:57:28,600 --> 00:57:31,960
Speaker 2: really at his best as a movement playmaker as opposed

1130
00:57:31,960 --> 00:57:34,760
Speaker 2: to a pocket technician. This is the way he plays now.

1131
00:57:34,760 --> 00:57:36,560
Speaker 2: It's not as if he can't throw from the pocket,

1132
00:57:36,720 --> 00:57:38,720
Speaker 2: of course he can, but I just think he's so

1133
00:57:38,840 --> 00:57:42,439
Speaker 2: much more comfortable when he moves, and he's very very

1134
00:57:42,480 --> 00:57:44,760
Speaker 2: good at it, as we know, and because of that

1135
00:57:44,840 --> 00:57:48,439
Speaker 2: element to his game, you never can count him out. Now,

1136
00:57:48,480 --> 00:57:50,920
Speaker 2: this is a really good defense at all three levels.

1137
00:57:51,560 --> 00:57:54,200
Speaker 2: They tend to play more with a single high safety

1138
00:57:54,240 --> 00:57:56,640
Speaker 2: than they do with two safeties on the back end.

1139
00:57:56,880 --> 00:57:59,840
Speaker 2: And Klin Bullock. I don't know how many people really

1140
00:58:00,080 --> 00:58:02,520
Speaker 2: know about him, but based on my film study and

1141
00:58:02,560 --> 00:58:05,280
Speaker 2: I see pretty much every team for the most part,

1142
00:58:05,600 --> 00:58:07,280
Speaker 2: I think he's been the best post safety in the

1143
00:58:07,360 --> 00:58:10,240
Speaker 2: National Football League this year. So this is a really

1144
00:58:10,280 --> 00:58:14,360
Speaker 2: good defense. They're fast, they're explosive, they're violent, They've got

1145
00:58:14,400 --> 00:58:17,920
Speaker 2: really good players. But again, you nailed it. I mean,

1146
00:58:18,320 --> 00:58:20,680
Speaker 2: no one would be surprised if Mahomes had a great

1147
00:58:20,720 --> 00:58:23,320
Speaker 2: game in Kansas City won. That would surprise no one.

1148
00:58:23,440 --> 00:58:25,600
Speaker 1: No, it's it. And we also talk about he's only

1149
00:58:25,640 --> 00:58:28,680
Speaker 1: forty yards off his career best in the rushing department,

1150
00:58:29,240 --> 00:58:31,800
Speaker 1: and considering what they've gotten from Hunt and Pacheco. He

1151
00:58:31,840 --> 00:58:34,160
Speaker 1: may well, he's gonna be running for his life.

1152
00:58:34,200 --> 00:58:37,120
Speaker 2: Well, particularly with the pass rush. Yeah, yeah, yeah, He's

1153
00:58:37,160 --> 00:58:39,560
Speaker 2: gonna probably need to make plays with his legs, and

1154
00:58:39,600 --> 00:58:42,880
Speaker 2: he's very good at it, very instinctive, as good a

1155
00:58:42,920 --> 00:58:46,280
Speaker 2: feel for spatial awareness as any quarterback we've ever seen.

1156
00:58:47,440 --> 00:58:49,520
Speaker 2: You know, the thing about him when he moves is

1157
00:58:49,560 --> 00:58:52,520
Speaker 2: he also keeps his eyes down field, so the throws

1158
00:58:52,560 --> 00:58:55,840
Speaker 2: are there. We see that every single week, and particularly

1159
00:58:55,920 --> 00:58:59,800
Speaker 2: in critical moments. He's very difficult to play against. And

1160
00:59:00,080 --> 00:59:02,960
Speaker 2: it's not likely that the Texans are going to jump

1161
00:59:03,000 --> 00:59:05,800
Speaker 2: out ahead, you know, thirty to ten. They don't necessarily

1162
00:59:05,880 --> 00:59:08,800
Speaker 2: have that kind of offense. So you know, that's where

1163
00:59:08,800 --> 00:59:11,160
Speaker 2: the Mahomes factor really comes into play.

1164
00:59:11,440 --> 00:59:14,040
Speaker 1: Chiefs defense still one of your better units in the

1165
00:59:14,080 --> 00:59:17,280
Speaker 1: National Football League, giving up just nineteen points per game

1166
00:59:17,520 --> 00:59:21,000
Speaker 1: one hundred rushing yards per game. Haven't really seen a

1167
00:59:21,040 --> 00:59:24,160
Speaker 1: lot from Woody Marks and Nick Chubb in terms of

1168
00:59:24,760 --> 00:59:28,160
Speaker 1: dominance there. Mark's at three point six yard protecting Chubb

1169
00:59:28,320 --> 00:59:31,640
Speaker 1: just above one. Seeing a little more of Higgins. CJ.

1170
00:59:31,760 --> 00:59:35,600
Speaker 1: Stroud back under center, completing nearly two thirds of his

1171
00:59:35,680 --> 00:59:39,640
Speaker 1: past attempt seven yards air yards per attempt eleven touchdowns.

1172
00:59:39,760 --> 00:59:43,160
Speaker 1: Nico Collins has been fantastic. Three of the last four weeks,

1173
00:59:43,160 --> 00:59:46,280
Speaker 1: he's gone over ninety yards. You even got a rushing

1174
00:59:46,360 --> 00:59:49,000
Speaker 1: touchdown as a little bonus for you last week in

1175
00:59:49,040 --> 00:59:52,080
Speaker 1: that game. That was an odd game against Indianapolis, no

1176
00:59:52,240 --> 00:59:55,600
Speaker 1: question about it. But here a couple of good defenses,

1177
00:59:55,640 --> 00:59:59,120
Speaker 1: and I'm really intrigued to see what Houston's offense can

1178
00:59:59,160 --> 01:00:02,720
Speaker 1: surmount here, if they can get anything going to give

1179
01:00:02,800 --> 01:00:06,320
Speaker 1: Stroud a chance or is that you know where where

1180
01:00:06,360 --> 01:00:10,280
Speaker 1: they actually have the advantage kind of gets neutralized of

1181
01:00:10,320 --> 01:00:11,760
Speaker 1: their defensive process.

1182
01:00:11,960 --> 01:00:14,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, that's the thing in this game is you know,

1183
01:00:14,960 --> 01:00:18,040
Speaker 2: even though the Chiefs offense has not had anywhere near

1184
01:00:18,080 --> 01:00:20,800
Speaker 2: the consistency this year and even going back the last

1185
01:00:20,800 --> 01:00:23,520
Speaker 2: two years, they've not been a high scoring offense the

1186
01:00:23,600 --> 01:00:26,919
Speaker 2: last number of years. But you know, you get into

1187
01:00:26,960 --> 01:00:29,480
Speaker 2: these close games in the third and fourth quarter, and

1188
01:00:29,520 --> 01:00:33,240
Speaker 2: that's where Mahomes is Mahomes. So it's you get a

1189
01:00:33,280 --> 01:00:35,720
Speaker 2: sense here, or I get that sense. I don't think

1190
01:00:35,760 --> 01:00:37,800
Speaker 2: that the Texans are going to run away and have

1191
01:00:37,880 --> 01:00:40,120
Speaker 2: thirty points by the end of the third quarter. So

1192
01:00:40,160 --> 01:00:43,640
Speaker 2: you end up with a close game and that's you know, now,

1193
01:00:43,640 --> 01:00:45,960
Speaker 2: granted there have been close games this year and was

1194
01:00:46,280 --> 01:00:49,240
Speaker 2: Mahomes has not made those plays or for whatever reason

1195
01:00:49,480 --> 01:00:52,280
Speaker 2: they've lost. I mean, you could argue that they he

1196
01:00:52,400 --> 01:00:55,360
Speaker 2: made those plays on Thanksgiving against Dallas and then Dallas

1197
01:00:55,440 --> 01:00:58,000
Speaker 2: came down and kicked the winning field goal. I think

1198
01:00:58,000 --> 01:00:59,040
Speaker 2: it was if memory search.

1199
01:00:59,160 --> 01:01:01,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, whatever, you can have super toe Brandon Aubrey at

1200
01:01:01,760 --> 01:01:05,440
Speaker 1: your disposal right right off, Just get it to midfield.

1201
01:01:05,440 --> 01:01:06,560
Speaker 1: He's gonna bump right right.

1202
01:01:06,600 --> 01:01:09,440
Speaker 2: But I mean, you know, you just don't know. So

1203
01:01:09,920 --> 01:01:12,600
Speaker 2: to me, this is one of those games where it's

1204
01:01:12,640 --> 01:01:15,560
Speaker 2: a very odd game to sort of handicap as it were.

1205
01:01:15,840 --> 01:01:17,520
Speaker 2: I mean, I can talk about the x's and o's

1206
01:01:17,560 --> 01:01:20,240
Speaker 2: as we have, but it's not likely to be a

1207
01:01:20,280 --> 01:01:22,040
Speaker 2: blowout game for either side.

1208
01:01:22,360 --> 01:01:24,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, as we continue here, we got a few more

1209

Speaker 1: dropped that album on the iPhone that everybody got mad about.

1224
01:02:05,440 --> 01:02:08,120
Speaker 1: They gave you a free album, right, you know what

Speaker 1: at all. At Greg Cosel where you find him on

01:02:16,600 --> 01:02:19,680
Speaker 1: Twitter find me over at Swollen Dome. As we continue

1229
01:02:19,760 --> 01:02:21,840
Speaker 1: a couple more battles we want to get to before

1230
01:02:21,880 --> 01:02:24,880
Speaker 1: the show finishes up and we give way the countdown

1231
01:02:24,920 --> 01:02:28,160
Speaker 1: to Kickoff presented by Bad MGM. But first let's kick

1232
01:02:28,200 --> 01:02:30,320
Speaker 1: it over to the news desk for our first update

1233
01:02:30,360 --> 01:02:35,040
Speaker 1: of the day. He's resplendent. He's got a buy Monday

1234
01:02:35,080 --> 01:02:37,760
Speaker 1: night football game that he's getting ready for. It's Isaac

1235
01:02:37,840 --> 01:02:39,440
Speaker 1: Lowan Crown at Isaac Lowenkron.

1236
01:02:39,560 --> 01:02:42,640
Speaker 6: Yes, it's the Chargers against the Magic of the positivity

1237
01:02:42,760 --> 01:02:44,280
Speaker 6: rabbit in the Eagles lot.

1238
01:02:44,640 --> 01:02:48,200
Speaker 1: Did you see that credit the positivity rabbit that they

1239
01:02:48,240 --> 01:02:48,920
Speaker 1: had go ahead?

1240
01:02:48,920 --> 01:02:50,040
Speaker 2: I low, I did not.

1241
01:02:50,200 --> 01:02:54,440
Speaker 6: Yeah, it was a giant inflatable bunny rabbit, and I

1242
01:02:54,480 --> 01:02:59,800
Speaker 6: mean giant with overalls a bow tie. And we'll find

1243
01:02:59,840 --> 01:03:03,200
Speaker 6: out if that is the key to turning around. How

1244
01:03:03,240 --> 01:03:05,160
Speaker 6: well does the evil season.

1245
01:03:04,840 --> 01:03:07,800
Speaker 1: There's that inspirational rabbit travel. That's the big question.

1246
01:03:08,840 --> 01:03:11,640
Speaker 6: I would think it would It would be fine as

1247
01:03:11,680 --> 01:03:15,080
Speaker 6: long as they deflate it and reinflate it when they

1248
01:03:15,120 --> 01:03:18,440
Speaker 6: get to LA, because if they don't deflate it, it'll

1249
01:03:18,480 --> 01:03:20,920
Speaker 6: just take up space on the charter. But if they

1250
01:03:21,000 --> 01:03:23,840
Speaker 6: deflated and then reinflated, I mean they can. They can

1251
01:03:23,880 --> 01:03:26,200
Speaker 6: stuff it in a suitcase in a plastic bag.

1252
01:03:27,240 --> 01:03:28,560
Speaker 1: Easy travel. About that.

1253
01:03:28,760 --> 01:03:31,600
Speaker 6: We'll be breaking that down as we get closer to

1254
01:03:31,680 --> 01:03:36,520
Speaker 6: Monday night football. Saturday night football saw number two Indiana

1255
01:03:36,640 --> 01:03:40,360
Speaker 6: knockoff number one Ohio State in the Big Ten Championship

1256
01:03:40,400 --> 01:03:43,960
Speaker 6: game thirteen to ten as the Hoosiers held the Buckeyes

1257
01:03:44,000 --> 01:03:47,520
Speaker 6: scoreless in the second half. Here was Ohio State's last

1258
01:03:47,760 --> 01:03:48,680
Speaker 6: gasp chance.

1259
01:03:48,800 --> 01:03:51,880
Speaker 1: Here's the stat saying back to throwing it pressure Colms

1260
01:03:51,960 --> 01:03:54,200
Speaker 1: rolls to us right, tries to run.

1261
01:03:54,040 --> 01:03:56,080
Speaker 4: With it, throws it down the field, it.

1262
01:03:55,920 --> 01:04:00,600
Speaker 3: Is tipped up in the air, and that's the ball

1263
01:04:00,640 --> 01:04:01,640
Speaker 3: game right there.

1264
01:04:02,560 --> 01:04:03,720
Speaker 1: Da uns.

1265
01:04:05,320 --> 01:04:09,120
Speaker 6: Mindiada has beat the Ohio State Puns, the number one

1266
01:04:09,160 --> 01:04:15,040
Speaker 6: team of the Cup. Rayers have beat the Potus Headana.

1267
01:04:15,720 --> 01:04:17,280
Speaker 1: He's going to the college.

1268
01:04:17,000 --> 01:04:21,920
Speaker 5: Football playoff and not gonna get a fine, unflavable.

1269
01:04:22,360 --> 01:04:25,040
Speaker 6: Long time voice of the Hoosiers, Don Fisher with a

1270
01:04:25,120 --> 01:04:27,840
Speaker 6: call on w eighth CC and by the way, a

1271
01:04:27,960 --> 01:04:31,640
Speaker 6: shout out to Don Fisher, mister Fishers seventy nine years old.

1272
01:04:31,720 --> 01:04:36,240
Speaker 6: That was actually the second game he broadcast on Saturday. Earlier,

1273
01:04:36,400 --> 01:04:40,240
Speaker 6: he did the Hoosiers basketball game against Louisville and then

1274
01:04:40,600 --> 01:04:44,919
Speaker 6: did the Big Ten Championship game, their victory over Ohio State,

1275
01:04:45,040 --> 01:04:48,760
Speaker 6: and the ACC Championship game. Duke knocked off number seventeen

1276
01:04:48,880 --> 01:04:52,400
Speaker 6: Virginia in overtime twenty seven to twenty. It was Duke's

1277
01:04:52,440 --> 01:04:57,080
Speaker 6: first ACC football championship since nineteen eighty nine. And finally,

1278
01:04:57,200 --> 01:05:03,240
Speaker 6: we have sort of an unexpected NFL injury slash illness update,

1279
01:05:03,280 --> 01:05:05,920
Speaker 6: but it in about a player. Los Angeles Rams head

1280
01:05:05,920 --> 01:05:09,560
Speaker 6: coach Sean McVeigh is expected to coach today at Arizona.

1281
01:05:10,000 --> 01:05:13,120
Speaker 6: He did not travel with the Rams yesterday dude to illness.

1282
01:05:13,360 --> 01:05:16,400
Speaker 6: He is expected to travel to Arizona this morning. So

1283
01:05:16,480 --> 01:05:19,120
Speaker 6: if you're listening to us on your way to Burdbank

1284
01:05:19,200 --> 01:05:23,000
Speaker 6: Airport you see a redheaded guy coughing in the departure

1285
01:05:23,080 --> 01:05:27,800
Speaker 6: lounge muttering play calls and football plays to himself, that

1286
01:05:28,000 --> 01:05:30,760
Speaker 6: might be Sean McVay back to you, guys, might.

1287
01:05:30,760 --> 01:05:33,240
Speaker 1: Just need that hour nap on that flight as well.

1288
01:05:33,360 --> 01:05:35,960
Speaker 1: Thanks so much, Ilo at Isaac Low and Cron He'll

1289
01:05:36,000 --> 01:05:39,400
Speaker 1: have you more updates on whether that bunny gets to

1290
01:05:39,480 --> 01:05:42,240
Speaker 1: fly next to Big Dom or not on the charter

1291
01:05:42,400 --> 01:05:45,800
Speaker 1: as they get out here for Monday Night football again.

1292
01:05:45,960 --> 01:05:49,200
Speaker 1: That one to close it out, Philadelphia and the Chargers

1293
01:05:49,360 --> 01:05:51,920
Speaker 1: doc Rams Football nine and a half point favorites on

1294
01:05:52,040 --> 01:05:55,440
Speaker 1: the road at Arizona. Jacoby Brissett and company have certainly

1295
01:05:55,480 --> 01:05:59,360
Speaker 1: been interesting. Marvin Harrison's been out, but you're seeing more

1296
01:05:59,480 --> 01:06:03,880
Speaker 1: of Will's and McBride with some ridiculous numbers Greg over

1297
01:06:03,920 --> 01:06:06,200
Speaker 1: the course of the year, and it's gotten even better

1298
01:06:06,520 --> 01:06:09,320
Speaker 1: when you talk about the operation with Brissett. He's up

1299
01:06:09,360 --> 01:06:12,400
Speaker 1: to eighty eight catches on the year. On one hundred

1300
01:06:12,400 --> 01:06:15,120
Speaker 1: and eighteen targets, but even bigger as he's been such

1301
01:06:15,920 --> 01:06:19,080
Speaker 1: more so, much more a weapon in the red zone

1302
01:06:19,120 --> 01:06:21,240
Speaker 1: than he ever has been. And we start getting into

1303
01:06:21,640 --> 01:06:24,840
Speaker 1: the reports that Kyler Murray will probably be looking to

1304
01:06:24,920 --> 01:06:28,040
Speaker 1: play football elsewhere in twenty twenty six. But for this one,

1305
01:06:28,120 --> 01:06:31,320
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford coming off of a tough one Devonte Adams

1306
01:06:31,360 --> 01:06:35,960
Speaker 1: six games scoring streak with eleven touchdowns, which is absolutely asinine.

1307
01:06:36,120 --> 01:06:38,520
Speaker 1: He's become the best low post player in the game,

1308
01:06:38,920 --> 01:06:41,040
Speaker 1: better than anything I say in an NBA bit.

1309
01:06:42,640 --> 01:06:44,480
Speaker 2: Well, you know, it's funny. We talked at the beginning

1310
01:06:44,760 --> 01:06:48,280
Speaker 2: of our show today about the Cowboys and their back end.

1311
01:06:48,920 --> 01:06:50,760
Speaker 2: You almost could say the same about the Rams. The

1312
01:06:50,880 --> 01:06:53,840
Speaker 2: Rams have a really good front, really good front four,

1313
01:06:54,080 --> 01:06:57,080
Speaker 2: very good front six, front seven. However they choose to play,

1314
01:06:57,640 --> 01:07:01,120
Speaker 2: but their corners are you know again, and would you

1315
01:07:01,160 --> 01:07:03,160
Speaker 2: call them a weakness? Maybe you would call them a weakness,

1316
01:07:03,240 --> 01:07:05,720
Speaker 2: But it's an area you can exploit and we saw

1317
01:07:05,800 --> 01:07:09,520
Speaker 2: that obviously last week against the Panthers. They didn't lose

1318
01:07:09,600 --> 01:07:11,760
Speaker 2: that game because of their offense. When you put up

1319
01:07:12,240 --> 01:07:13,880
Speaker 2: what they put up twenty eight or thirty one, I

1320
01:07:13,960 --> 01:07:15,960
Speaker 2: feel what the final was. Yeah, you know, you expect

1321
01:07:16,000 --> 01:07:17,840
Speaker 2: to win. Certainly the Rams would expect to win when

1322
01:07:17,880 --> 01:07:21,600
Speaker 2: they put up twenty eight and Stafford maybe it wasn't

1323
01:07:21,640 --> 01:07:23,720
Speaker 2: his best game, but it wasn't a poor game either.

1324
01:07:24,000 --> 01:07:26,280
Speaker 2: One of the interceptions was tip, the other one was just,

1325
01:07:26,720 --> 01:07:30,200
Speaker 2: you know, an inaccurate throw, not a bad read. But

1326
01:07:30,560 --> 01:07:33,640
Speaker 2: you know they gave up those two big fourth down plays.

1327
01:07:34,040 --> 01:07:37,480
Speaker 2: Both were functioned of corners, you know, not one was

1328
01:07:37,560 --> 01:07:40,560
Speaker 2: four ites just getting beat on a fadeer out got

1329
01:07:40,640 --> 01:07:43,640
Speaker 2: beat badly by Coker. So again it was their back

1330
01:07:43,800 --> 01:07:45,800
Speaker 2: end that kind of struggled. Now they play a lot

1331
01:07:45,880 --> 01:07:48,680
Speaker 2: of people on their back end, which tells you because

1332
01:07:48,800 --> 01:07:52,160
Speaker 2: when you rotate at the corner position, Mike, that's telling

1333
01:07:52,200 --> 01:07:54,200
Speaker 2: you you're not thrilled with your corner position.

1334
01:07:54,400 --> 01:07:57,400
Speaker 1: Trying to find that the hot hand, as it were.

1335
01:07:57,680 --> 01:08:00,720
Speaker 1: In some respects Rams give it up seven team five

1336
01:08:00,880 --> 01:08:03,280
Speaker 1: per game down at the other end of the spectrum

1337
01:08:03,280 --> 01:08:06,480
Speaker 1: bottom ten twenty five, Yeah, three per game for your

1338
01:08:06,520 --> 01:08:07,520
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals.

1339
01:08:08,880 --> 01:08:12,280
Speaker 2: Yeah. And you know, in Jacoby Brissett, I remember evaluating

1340
01:08:12,360 --> 01:08:14,560
Speaker 2: him coming out of North Carolina State, and to be

1341
01:08:14,640 --> 01:08:16,000
Speaker 2: honest with you, I thought he had a chance to

1342
01:08:16,040 --> 01:08:18,479
Speaker 2: be a quality NFL starter. It hasn't quite worked out,

1343
01:08:19,040 --> 01:08:21,960
Speaker 2: but he's the guy's gonna play probably as long as

1344
01:08:22,000 --> 01:08:23,960
Speaker 2: he wants to play. You know, he could be this

1345
01:08:24,080 --> 01:08:26,000
Speaker 2: year as George Bland, he could be. He could be

1346
01:08:26,080 --> 01:08:28,040
Speaker 2: the backup quarterback when he's forty five.

1347
01:08:28,200 --> 01:08:28,400
Speaker 5: You know.

1348
01:08:29,280 --> 01:08:31,760
Speaker 2: But you know, you put him out there, you can

1349
01:08:31,840 --> 01:08:34,960
Speaker 2: line up and play with Jacoby Brissett. He's from everything

1350
01:08:35,040 --> 01:08:38,800
Speaker 2: I understand, he's an unbelievable guy. Uh you know, and

1351
01:08:38,880 --> 01:08:41,560
Speaker 2: then you're certainly you can you can line up and

1352
01:08:41,600 --> 01:08:44,759
Speaker 2: play and win games with Jacoby Brissett. So he's played

1353
01:08:44,840 --> 01:08:48,519
Speaker 2: reasonably well. You know. The whole Marvin Harrison thing is

1354
01:08:49,120 --> 01:08:52,479
Speaker 2: one of the most confusing things I've seen because he's

1355
01:08:52,600 --> 01:08:54,679
Speaker 2: just and I know he's been hurt over this last

1356
01:08:54,720 --> 01:08:58,080
Speaker 2: month or so with first I guess, the epic, the epidectomy. Yeah,

1357
01:08:58,200 --> 01:09:00,479
Speaker 2: and and now he's hurt as he's he due to

1358
01:09:00,520 --> 01:09:01,160
Speaker 2: play today or not.

1359
01:09:01,479 --> 01:09:03,680
Speaker 1: Last I saw he was still probably gonna miss it.

1360
01:09:04,160 --> 01:09:07,840
Speaker 2: Okay, I do so again the last and this this

1361
01:09:07,960 --> 01:09:10,240
Speaker 2: was a different injury. This is not the epidectomy anymore.

1362
01:09:10,560 --> 01:09:10,600
Speaker 5: So.

1363
01:09:11,600 --> 01:09:14,320
Speaker 2: Uh So he's kind of had a lost second season,

1364
01:09:14,800 --> 01:09:18,120
Speaker 2: but it's it's very now again when Kyler Murray's your quarterback.

1365
01:09:18,160 --> 01:09:21,160
Speaker 2: It's very difficult because he's not he's not really a

1366
01:09:21,240 --> 01:09:25,760
Speaker 2: progression reader. You don't really have a sustaining type pass game,

1367
01:09:25,840 --> 01:09:28,439
Speaker 2: a calculated pass game with him. So we'll see what

1368
01:09:28,520 --> 01:09:31,439
Speaker 2: happens going forward. But I agree with you, I think

1369
01:09:31,439 --> 01:09:33,720
Speaker 2: we've probably seen the last of Kyler Murray as the

1370
01:09:33,800 --> 01:09:34,959
Speaker 2: Cardinals quarterback.

1371
01:09:35,160 --> 01:09:37,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, it looks like he's due to miss this one

1372
01:09:37,720 --> 01:09:42,360
Speaker 1: again due to a heal injury. Okay, and they place

1373
01:09:42,520 --> 01:09:48,000
Speaker 1: dorch on ir So now it's Xavier Weaver. He was

1374
01:09:48,400 --> 01:09:50,120
Speaker 1: the next man up, and it looks like they've just

1375
01:09:50,240 --> 01:09:52,960
Speaker 1: declared him out as well. So it's Trey McBride and

1376
01:09:53,320 --> 01:09:55,599
Speaker 1: Michael Wilson against the world.

1377
01:09:55,640 --> 01:09:58,439
Speaker 2: Well, I imagine there'll be other receivers that will actually

1378
01:09:58,600 --> 01:09:59,559
Speaker 2: line up and play.

1379
01:09:59,760 --> 01:10:03,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, but trying trying to decide, you know, one of

1380
01:10:03,400 --> 01:10:05,920
Speaker 1: those uh you need your scorecard to know what the

1381
01:10:06,000 --> 01:10:09,639
Speaker 1: rest of So it looks like here on their depth shot.

1382
01:10:09,720 --> 01:10:11,479
Speaker 2: I mean they're gonna have to bring people up I'm

1383
01:10:11,520 --> 01:10:14,599
Speaker 2: sure from their uh uh, you know, the practice squad.

1384
01:10:14,680 --> 01:10:16,880
Speaker 2: So I don't know who's I don't know who's there,

1385
01:10:18,479 --> 01:10:20,800
Speaker 2: but it's there'll be some names. I'm sure we do

01:10:20,960 --> 01:10:21,720
Speaker 2: not recognize.

1387
01:10:23,240 --> 01:10:27,479
Speaker 1: Andre Bassellia, second year man out of Washington, is on

1388
01:10:27,600 --> 01:10:29,240
Speaker 1: the depth chart, so maybe we get to see a

1389
01:10:29,280 --> 01:10:30,040
Speaker 1: little bit of him.

1390
01:10:30,160 --> 01:10:31,240

1395
01:10:46,880 --> 01:10:50,240
Speaker 1: No, it's curious to watch that depth chart because again,

1396
01:10:50,280 --> 01:10:52,479
Speaker 1: Weaver was the guy they were gonna call up. Uh

01:11:25,240 --> 01:11:27,479
Speaker 1: you know, going back to the rams just to put

1408
01:11:27,680 --> 01:11:30,280
Speaker 1: the bow on it. Some units got to be last.

1409
01:11:30,360 --> 01:11:32,559
Speaker 1: It's kind of like that last guy in a medical

1410
01:11:32,680 --> 01:11:37,880
Speaker 1: school that's still going to be doctor if he passes through.

1411
01:11:37,960 --> 01:11:40,880
Speaker 1: He's still a doctor. And watched the Sheepskins on the wall.

1412
01:11:40,920 --> 01:11:41,800
Speaker 1: You have no idea of.

1413
01:11:41,880 --> 01:11:46,840
Speaker 2: Knowing, Greg, that's exactly right, that's exactly right. Well, we'll see,

1414
01:11:47,000 --> 01:11:49,960
Speaker 2: you know, the Rams. There's a couple you know again,

1415
01:11:50,120 --> 01:11:53,320
Speaker 2: a couple of weeks. It's not this Thursday, I don't think,

1416
01:11:53,360 --> 01:11:55,599
Speaker 2: but it's the following Thursday. And we'll see what happens

1417
01:11:55,640 --> 01:11:57,519
Speaker 2: in the next you know, today and next week. But

1418
01:11:57,640 --> 01:12:00,000
Speaker 2: the Rams and the Seahawks play, I believe on a Thursday,

1419
01:12:00,080 --> 01:12:02,280
Speaker 2: the night game, and that could be a very very

1420
01:12:02,360 --> 01:12:02,760
Speaker 2: big one.

1421
01:12:03,040 --> 01:12:05,320
Speaker 1: There you go, as we get ready for that Seahawks

1422
01:12:05,400 --> 01:12:08,479
Speaker 1: on the road today at Atlanta. Forty five and a half.

1423
01:12:08,560 --> 01:12:11,439
Speaker 1: Your total Seahawks nearly a touchdown favor in this one.

1424
01:12:12,240 --> 01:12:16,479
Speaker 1: Sam Darnold and company. Jsn's been ridiculous. I know fantasy

1425
01:12:16,520 --> 01:12:20,599
Speaker 1: owners were salty last week. A smallest effort there going

1426
01:12:20,680 --> 01:12:24,920
Speaker 1: up against this Atlanta squad and Captain Kirk Cousins. Once again,

1427
01:12:25,240 --> 01:12:28,120
Speaker 1: it seems like a place for the Seahawks defense to

1428
01:12:28,200 --> 01:12:32,120
Speaker 1: do some damage. B John Robinson really the only weapon

1429
01:12:32,240 --> 01:12:34,479
Speaker 1: that you've got on that squad right now. Drake London

1430
01:12:34,600 --> 01:12:35,679
Speaker 1: set to miss that game.

1431
01:12:36,479 --> 01:12:39,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, their offense since Cousins took over, is totally different.

1432
01:12:39,640 --> 01:12:43,720
Speaker 2: He's under center, there's much more play action, the run

1433
01:12:43,840 --> 01:12:45,960
Speaker 2: game is a little more of what it is with

1434
01:12:46,080 --> 01:12:49,200
Speaker 2: the outside zone. So there, you know, Kirk Cousins is

1435
01:12:49,240 --> 01:12:51,760
Speaker 2: a professional quarterback. I mean it's and their old line

1436
01:12:51,840 --> 01:12:53,760
Speaker 2: is not bad. So obviously they don't have a lot

1437
01:12:53,800 --> 01:12:56,880
Speaker 2: of weapons on the outside right now. But Seattle's defense

1438
01:12:57,080 --> 01:12:59,680
Speaker 2: is very, very good. They are another one of these

1439
01:12:59,720 --> 01:13:02,080
Speaker 2: teams and this is a trend in the league, Mike,

1440
01:13:02,240 --> 01:13:05,360
Speaker 2: that play what we call big nickel. They play with

1441
01:13:05,479 --> 01:13:09,799
Speaker 2: three safeties basically is their base defense and their nickel defense.

1442
01:13:10,439 --> 01:13:13,720
Speaker 2: And nick I Minwari is their guy. He's this, you

1443
01:13:13,800 --> 01:13:16,800
Speaker 2: know by trade of safety, but he's essentially their nickel

1444
01:13:16,920 --> 01:13:20,479
Speaker 2: corner as well versus pass. Now, they do play dime

1445
01:13:20,720 --> 01:13:23,800
Speaker 2: when they get to long yardage, but their nickel is

1446
01:13:24,240 --> 01:13:26,800
Speaker 2: is their base is big nickel, and their nickel is

1447
01:13:26,880 --> 01:13:29,760
Speaker 2: big nickel. So we're seeing that more and more in

1448
01:13:29,840 --> 01:13:30,240
Speaker 2: the league.

1449
01:13:30,479 --> 01:13:32,920
Speaker 1: I'm gonna start calling someone big nickel. I don't know

1450
01:13:32,920 --> 01:13:36,240
Speaker 1: who's getting that nickname. This what be you ed Greg

1455
01:13:48,960 --> 01:13:52,040
Speaker 1: remaining on the slate. We'll do a whip around segment

1456
01:13:52,560 --> 01:13:54,280
Speaker 1: as we close things out and get you ready for

01:14:09,320 --> 01:14:12,360
Speaker 1: with Chris and Brandon Little I Low as we get

1462
01:14:12,439 --> 01:14:16,200
Speaker 1: ready for this college football playoff. Reveal so many teams

1463
01:14:16,320 --> 01:14:19,639
Speaker 1: making their cases, so many data points, and it's funny

1464
01:14:20,320 --> 01:14:24,519
Speaker 1: which arguments are embraced at different spots, which teams kind

1465
01:14:24,560 --> 01:14:27,320
Speaker 1: of get sloughed off like they're the rocks on the

1466
01:14:27,439 --> 01:14:30,679
Speaker 1: yard at Shawshanks. So all of that to say that's

1490
01:15:43,960 --> 01:15:46,800
Speaker 1: A couple last games to get through here as we're

1491
01:15:47,439 --> 01:15:50,880
Speaker 1: counting down the hours to kick off, Miami playing some

1492
01:15:51,040 --> 01:15:54,320
Speaker 1: inspired football of late, the rubber meets the road when

1493
01:15:54,360 --> 01:15:56,240
Speaker 1: we talk about the Jets and where they're at with

1494
01:15:56,360 --> 01:15:59,280
Speaker 1: Tarad Taylor, but a lot of talk once again of

1495
01:15:59,680 --> 01:16:03,760
Speaker 1: can do a win in the cold? Seventeen touchdowns, fourteen interceptions,

1496
01:16:04,040 --> 01:16:08,360
Speaker 1: Mike McDaniel and company. They're playing some better football, but

1497
01:16:08,680 --> 01:16:12,280
Speaker 1: for the Jets under Gerrod Taylor, a little bit of

1498
01:16:12,320 --> 01:16:14,559
Speaker 1: stability and ad Ni Mitchell remember, hey do you drop

1499
01:16:14,680 --> 01:16:14,920
Speaker 1: the ball?

1500
01:16:15,000 --> 01:16:15,439
Speaker 2: Oh yeah?

1501
01:16:15,479 --> 01:16:18,760
Speaker 1: Cults all the time, going all the way back with

1502
01:16:18,880 --> 01:16:21,599
Speaker 1: that early season loss. Suddenly he's their number one guy.

1503
01:16:22,200 --> 01:16:24,559
Speaker 2: You know, he's very gifted athletically. I had a chance

1504
01:16:24,640 --> 01:16:27,040
Speaker 2: actually to speak to him at the Combine two years

1505
01:16:27,040 --> 01:16:29,880
Speaker 2: ago when he came out. He's a very impressive athlete.

1506
01:16:29,920 --> 01:16:31,479
Speaker 2: When I did his tape coming out of college, I

1507
01:16:31,520 --> 01:16:33,360
Speaker 2: thought he had a chance to be a very good player.

1508
01:16:33,680 --> 01:16:36,080
Speaker 2: I don't know what happened to Indianapolis. They were just

1509
01:16:36,160 --> 01:16:38,160
Speaker 2: a lot of talk with young guys. Sometimes you hear,

1510
01:16:38,240 --> 01:16:39,880
Speaker 2: well he doesn't know what it means to be a pro,

1511
01:16:40,280 --> 01:16:42,559
Speaker 2: that kind of talk. But he's big, he can run,

1512
01:16:42,680 --> 01:16:45,120
Speaker 2: He's gifted. But I think one of the players that

1513
01:16:45,400 --> 01:16:47,439
Speaker 2: you know, not a lot of people are talking about

1514
01:16:47,600 --> 01:16:49,200
Speaker 2: on the other side of the ball and it's having

1515
01:16:49,280 --> 01:16:53,200
Speaker 2: a sensational year is Devin h Chen and he's got

1516
01:16:53,280 --> 01:16:56,200
Speaker 2: over a thousand yards. He's averaging over five and a

1517
01:16:56,240 --> 01:16:59,080
Speaker 2: half yards per rush. You know, Miami with two and

1518
01:16:59,240 --> 01:17:01,839
Speaker 2: needs a run game. And Mike McDaniel is a savant

1519
01:17:01,880 --> 01:17:04,560
Speaker 2: when it comes to the run game, So he's just

1520
01:17:04,640 --> 01:17:07,080
Speaker 2: one of those players. They get him to the perimeter too,

1521
01:17:07,439 --> 01:17:10,400
Speaker 2: and he and Gibbs are probably the two backs in

1522
01:17:10,479 --> 01:17:12,320
Speaker 2: the league that have terrifying speed.

1523
01:17:12,800 --> 01:17:14,519
Speaker 1: Yeah, you look at a chan and some of those

1524
01:17:14,600 --> 01:17:17,400
Speaker 1: big runs. One of what did I have it at?

1525
01:17:17,479 --> 01:17:20,439
Speaker 1: I think it's five running backs already over one thousand

1526
01:17:20,520 --> 01:17:23,720
Speaker 1: yards for the five season. I'm very excited about that, Greg,

1527
01:17:23,760 --> 01:17:26,120
Speaker 1: because we got a couple that may join them today

1528
01:17:26,439 --> 01:17:29,120
Speaker 1: whenever we start seeing more running backs over one thousand

1529
01:17:29,200 --> 01:17:31,759
Speaker 1: yards one and you know, it's like the bell ringing

1530
01:17:31,840 --> 01:17:34,240
Speaker 1: in It's a wonderful life. And Angel gets his wing

1531
01:17:34,320 --> 01:17:35,840
Speaker 1: and Mikey Harmon cries a little bit.

1532
01:17:35,760 --> 01:17:38,960
Speaker 2: Because and I'm sure you had Travante Williams is one

1533
01:17:38,960 --> 01:17:40,960
Speaker 2: of those guys before the season, did you not, Oh?

1534
01:17:41,040 --> 01:17:46,240
Speaker 1: Absolutely yeah, I had him, no question, fifteen hundred yard guy, right,

1535
01:17:47,479 --> 01:17:50,200
Speaker 1: all right, A couple of least games to get you Denver,

1536
01:17:50,360 --> 01:17:52,960
Speaker 1: Las Vegas. We talked about all the chaos there Bo

1537
01:17:53,160 --> 01:17:56,639
Speaker 1: Nixon Company and that offense getting it done. RJ. Harvey's

1538
01:17:57,160 --> 01:18:01,200
Speaker 1: Harvey's now in the backfield. Washington gets Hayden Daniels back

1539
01:18:01,600 --> 01:18:04,000
Speaker 1: a little bit intrigued there for sure. He and Terry

1540
01:18:04,080 --> 01:18:06,360
Speaker 1: mcglure going up against the floor as defense.

1541
01:18:07,840 --> 01:18:10,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, just to make a quick comment about the Raiders,

1542
01:18:10,680 --> 01:18:13,320
Speaker 2: you know, and I'm sure this will be viewed as

1543
01:18:13,360 --> 01:18:15,679
Speaker 2: a bold, controversial statement, but it's just what I see

1544
01:18:15,760 --> 01:18:17,760
Speaker 2: on tape. And I know the old line for the

1545
01:18:17,840 --> 01:18:19,840
Speaker 2: Raiders has not been very good this year at all.

1546
01:18:19,880 --> 01:18:23,799
Speaker 2: I understand that, and maybe that's worn on Ashton genty.

1547
01:18:23,920 --> 01:18:26,599
Speaker 2: But the last game I watched, which was obviously last

1548
01:18:26,640 --> 01:18:30,040
Speaker 2: week against the Chargers, he did not look particularly quick.

1549
01:18:30,600 --> 01:18:30,720
Speaker 5: Now.

1550
01:18:30,760 --> 01:18:32,519
Speaker 2: I don't know if he's worn out. Obviously, for a

1551
01:18:32,600 --> 01:18:35,400
Speaker 2: lot of college players, this probably seems like another season

1552
01:18:35,479 --> 01:18:37,880
Speaker 2: by now, and that's you know, these guys have a

1553
01:18:37,960 --> 01:18:40,400
Speaker 2: tough time with that at times. But he just did

1554
01:18:40,479 --> 01:18:43,880
Speaker 2: not look the same as we expect gent to look.

1555
01:18:44,120 --> 01:18:45,960
Speaker 2: And I'll be very curious to see how he finishes

1556
01:18:46,040 --> 01:18:46,479
Speaker 2: this season.

1557
01:18:46,800 --> 01:18:50,360
Speaker 1: Top matchup tonight or later on today against Denver, He's

1558
01:18:50,400 --> 01:18:53,160
Speaker 1: averaging three point five yards per carry. He only has

1559
01:18:53,400 --> 01:18:55,200
Speaker 1: one run over twenty yards.

1560
01:18:56,240 --> 01:18:58,920
Speaker 2: Very very surprising. Been now. I'll be the first to

1561
01:18:59,000 --> 01:19:01,519
Speaker 2: admit I didn't love him the way everybody else did

1562
01:19:01,600 --> 01:19:04,400
Speaker 2: coming out, but still I liked him. I didn't think

1563
01:19:04,400 --> 01:19:06,040
Speaker 2: he was going to be a bad back, but he

1564
01:19:06,200 --> 01:19:07,200
Speaker 2: just doesn't look the same.

1565
01:19:08,080 --> 01:19:10,280
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay's offense still trying to get off the mat.

1566
01:19:10,439 --> 01:19:13,439
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield and company hosts the Saints and the greatness

1567
01:19:13,520 --> 01:19:18,559
Speaker 1: that is Tyler Shuck with Vele and those guys running

1568
01:19:18,600 --> 01:19:21,080
Speaker 1: them up. But for Baker Mayfield, still waiting for the

1569
01:19:21,160 --> 01:19:24,040
Speaker 1: reinforcements and the cavalry to arrive. They will not do

1570
01:19:24,200 --> 01:19:28,439
Speaker 1: so today as Evans and McMillan still coming back from

1571
01:19:28,479 --> 01:19:29,040
Speaker 1: their injuries.

1572
01:19:29,360 --> 01:19:31,640
Speaker 2: But Bucky Irving being back's a big deal, and you

1573
01:19:31,760 --> 01:19:34,080
Speaker 2: saw that last week. He just gives them a lot

1574
01:19:34,120 --> 01:19:37,080
Speaker 2: of juice in the backfield. But you're right, the pass

1575
01:19:37,160 --> 01:19:39,200
Speaker 2: game has not been what it was through the first

1576
01:19:39,240 --> 01:19:39,960
Speaker 2: part of the season.

1577
01:19:40,080 --> 01:19:43,599
Speaker 1: Yeah, even Abuka has slowed down market, as fantasy owners

1578
01:19:43,640 --> 01:19:46,720
Speaker 1: can tell you. To that end, any fantasy classes. Get

1579
01:19:46,800 --> 01:19:48,599
Speaker 1: him in, I'll sit for a bit and go through

1580
01:19:48,640 --> 01:19:50,439
Speaker 1: him at Swollen Home. I've got a couple to get

1581
01:19:50,479 --> 01:19:52,519
