1
00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:09,000
Speaker 1: Welcome back to Richard Sherman podcast, and what a week

2
00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:13,720
Speaker 1: for the Seattle Seahawks. They start this game with crazy plays.

3
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:16,320
Speaker 1: The Jackson Smith and Jig be forty three yard touchdown

4
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:19,000
Speaker 1: to start. The defense says, oh, I could do you

5
00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:23,959
Speaker 1: one better? Sack force fumble by Tyresee Knight, uh with

6
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:27,479
Speaker 1: with the Marcus Lawrence recovering it for a touchdown, and

7
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 1: then of course Sam Donald just feels good.

8
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 2: Everybody's feeling good.

9
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 1: George Hallani gets involved in action as well with with

10
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:38,920
Speaker 1: the third TV at the game and the fourth TD

11
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:42,560
Speaker 1: of the game, I had I had to rewind my TV.

12
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:47,920
Speaker 1: Minchell I had to rewind, fast forward, rewind because the

13
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 1: fourth TV looked a lot similar to the second TD

14
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 1: Tyrese Knight forced fumble as Jacobe presents passing the football

15
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 1: for another to Marcus Lawrence recovery for yet a Seahawks touchdown.

16
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:05,119
Speaker 1: I mean, at this point, as twenty eight zero, Seahawks

17
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 1: can do no wrong. It's just their day. And that's

18
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 1: when things kind of start falling apart, and a little

19
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 1: bit they started going to going off the rails. The

20
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 1: Seahawks were in total control. The defense is playing well,

21
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:22,319
Speaker 1: the offense is playing well. They lose their center Sundale

22
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:26,040
Speaker 1: for who knows, you know, hopefully not an extended amount

23
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:29,679
Speaker 1: of time. But there's a fumbled exchange between Sam Darnold

24
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 1: and the new center that leads to a turnover. After

25
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:35,400
Speaker 1: the defense had just forced a huge turnover. On downs,

26
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:40,399
Speaker 1: Nick emm and Rory almost had an interception, they had

27
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 1: a phenomenal goal line stand.

28
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 2: It just was exciting.

29
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 1: You know, they're up, they're playing good football, the defense

30
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 1: is playing energetic. Then you have that miscue by the

31
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 1: offense backed up in their own territory, gives the Arizona

32
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 1: Cardinals their first touchdown of the game. But still, it

33
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 1: just was a dominant, dominant performance by the Seahawks that

34
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:05,279
Speaker 1: just was marred a little bit by some sloppy play

35
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:11,359
Speaker 1: in the third quarter really most mostly Jackson Smith and Jig.

36
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 1: But congratulations on a thousand yard season. He's the first

37
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 1: receiver to hit the thousand this season. He looks like

38
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:19,679
Speaker 1: he should be a Pro Offensive Player of the Year.

39
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 1: But you know how it goes Mitchell. They won't give

40
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:27,919
Speaker 1: MVP to Jonathan Taylor. So with him at fifteen touchdowns already,

41
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 1: and I know everybody's like, oh, well, Saquan had thirteen touchdowns,

42
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 1: and he had so many runs inside the five that

43
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 1: were taking by the tesh push. Nobody cares. Nobody cares.

44
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 1: Don't give it to the tush pushed then and give

45
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 1: it to Saquan and he gets MVP. What the Colts are

46
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: doing and he's lost a couple to Daniel Jones and

47
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 1: him keeping it inside the five. But he has fifteen

48
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 1: rushing touchdowns on the season too receiving touchdowns. But we'll

49
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: get there later. But that's why I don't think Jackson

50
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 1: Smith and Jigbow will win Offensive Player of the Year

51
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 1: because they won't get if they give Jonathan Taylor MVP,

52
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 1: then yes, I think John Jackson Smith and Jigba has

53
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 1: a case for.

54
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 2: Offensive Player of the Year.

55
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 1: The cool part about this game for me was the

56
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,959
Speaker 1: running game for the Seattle Seahawks finally got going. Zach

57
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 1: Sharpene fourteen carries for eighty three yards. K Nine fourteen

58
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,920
Speaker 1: carries for sixty seven yards. The defense had five sacks

59
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 1: and the two touchdowns DeMarcus Lawrence. We talked about it earlier,

60
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 1: the too fumble recovery for touchdowns. Mike McDonald, I really

61
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 1: want to talk about the secondary too, because I don't

62
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 1: want to I don't want to leave without that. A

63
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 1: lot of PBUs back there, but shout out to Greek

64
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 1: wooland shout out to Reek wooland played at an incredibly

65
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 1: high level. This game had a lot of controversy and

66
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 1: adversity throughout this season, fans calling for him to get traded,

67
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 1: his name attached to trade rumors.

68
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 2: Early on, there was what looked appeared to be.

69
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 1: A benching, maybe a half benching of partial partial benching.

70
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 1: But he's responded in a beautiful way, playing fantastic football.

71
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 1: Nick War continues to grow as a player, impacting the

72
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 1: game and all all the phases. He's rushing the passer well,

73
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 1: had a few pbu's great coverage on McBride, who's been

74
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 1: one of the best tight ends in the National Football League,

75
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 1: one of the most productive Titians in the National Football League,

76
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 1: and you saw him with tight coverage on him, Tyrese

77
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 1: Knight playing and playing Mike linebacker and Ernest Jones Stead

78
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously his best game of his career as

79
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 1: a as a professional, and it's just a lot of

80
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 1: trust and a lot of cool plays. The Seattle Seahawks win.

81
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 1: Sam Donald was ten to twelve for one to seventy eight,

82
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 1: the touchdown, the interception. He did have two fumbles. The

83
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 1: interception was off of A J. Barner's head, I think

84
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 1: a helmet, and it was just a weird play and

85
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 1: that those are the turnovers.

86
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 2: For the Seattle Seahawks.

87
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 1: They weren't like un you know, just bad plays or

88
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 1: bad thoughts, just unnecessary and and and unforced. But I

89
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:08,920
Speaker 1: don't think it does anything to make you feel awful

90
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:10,840
Speaker 1: about this win. This is a huge win. This team

91
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 1: is playing great football. They look like the best team

92
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,480
Speaker 1: in the National Football League, along with the Indianapolis Colts.

93
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 1: And I know everybody's like, what about the Eagles, what

94
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 1: about the Rams? I hear you, I understand h I

95
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 1: know those teams exist and they're playing good football as well.

96
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 1: But I'm just telling you what I see. I look

97
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 1: forward to the game next week the Seattle Seahawks play

98
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 1: the La Rams. That's gonna be the game of the week,

99
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 1: that's gonna tell the tale. Are the Rams who you

100
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 1: think they are?

101
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:37,160
Speaker 2: Are?

102
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:40,719
Speaker 1: The Seahawks who they think they are? Is this new

103
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:45,720
Speaker 1: found running game real against this really stingy and aggressive

104
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 1: Rams defense who had their way with the San Francisco

105
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:53,040
Speaker 1: forty nine ers, and we'll get that get to that game.

106
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:57,040
Speaker 1: But yeah, the Cardinals look like they're gonna be in

107
00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:03,040
Speaker 1: the quarterback market next season. Obviously they've been without without

108
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 1: their their high paid quarterback, Kyler Murray. They sent him

109
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,159
Speaker 1: uh to ir just in time for the new Call

110
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 1: of Duty, no question about it. I'm sure he's excited

111
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 1: about that, ecstatic about that Call of Duty's coming out,

112
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 1: and he doesn't have to deal with the headache of

113
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:20,480
Speaker 1: being criticized because of it. We know his record after

114
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 1: Call of Duty comes out. We're not going to go

115
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 1: down that rabbit hole. But a solid game for Jacoby

116
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:32,479
Speaker 1: percent fifty eight. Obviously, fifty percent completion percentage isn't isn't

117
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 1: great in the National Football League. But he did have

118
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 1: the two touchdowns he has the two fumbles was under

119
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 1: durest the entire game. Those two fumbles led a touchdown,

120
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 1: so I take that back. It wasn't a solid game.

121
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 1: It's a terrible game, but just a rough game for

122
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:48,119
Speaker 1: the team overall, and they just looked overmatched. Like I said,

123
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,479
Speaker 1: the Cardinals have the forty nine ers next week, and

124
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 1: the Seahawks have a huge game against the Rams.

125
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 2: I'm looking forward to seeing that.

126
00:06:55,839 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 3: Who letchard Today I debut my Seattle Seahawks throwback hat. Well,

127
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 3: that's clean, it is clean. It's very clean. But I

128
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 3: was waiting to debut it until I was convinced that

129
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 3: this was one of the top teams in football. You

130
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 3: have marked them as number one in your power ranks,

131
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 3: and I you know, I saw it, but I thought, Man,

132
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 3: Richard's biased. And I think you can understand why I

133
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 3: thought you were biased the former Seahawks yourself, Richard, What

134
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 3: I saw today in that opening quarter, Holy Kyle, that

135
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 3: might have just been the best team in football. And

136
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 3: you called it coming into this season, you said you

137
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 3: saw a different energy in the building, a different life

138
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:41,239
Speaker 3: in that building. Obviously, Mike McDonald, you know, as years

139
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 3: go by and he enters the second season with this team,

140
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 3: he's starting to form a new identity. They've got an

141
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 3: embarrassment of riches on this team. And I saw a report.

142
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 3: I don't know if it was true or not, but

143
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 3: I guess Boe Mafe was being discussed in trade rumors

144
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 3: and they could have gone a case. He had the

145
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 3: trade gunline, And you have to scratch your head and

146
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 3: wonder why. Well, the reason wise because Seattle, again, they

147
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 3: have an embarrassment of riches. They're gonna have to discuss

148
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 3: in this offseason who they pay and who they let walk.

149
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 3: And that is a good thing for the now because

150
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 3: Seattle has so many good players, Richard, that I'm here

151
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 3: to tell you I still think I called it in

152
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 3: the in our first episode of this season. I think

153
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 3: the La Rams are gonna win this division. I know

154
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 3: I'm gonna get some squawk in the comments section from that.

155
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 3: I just love what I see from Matthew Stafford. But

156
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 3: that's not to express, you know, disdain for the Seattle Seahawks,

157
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 3: because they have far exceeded my expectations. I think Seattle's back.

158
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,840
Speaker 3: I think they're they're ready to They're a force to be.

159
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 3: What reckon with Sam Darnald is here to stay? Talk

160
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,680
Speaker 3: about an upgrade at the quarterback position, Richard, I thought

161
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 3: everyone just thought, hey, Gino Smith's leaving, Enter Sam Darnald,

162
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 3: a one for one equal swap trade. You know, at

163
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 3: least we didn't lose any ground at that QB position.

164
00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:57,960
Speaker 2: Well, not so fast.

165
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:00,560
Speaker 3: It looks to me that you guys have up created

166
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 3: exponentially at that position, and he's given life to this team.

167
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:09,600
Speaker 3: You know, just wait til Rashid Rashid shahe gets going there,

168
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 3: because that's another vertical threat that the Seattle Seahawks are

169
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 3: going to introduce when you couple him with JSN. I mean,

170
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 3: my goodness, the guy in a blowout win almost as

171
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 3: another one hundred yard game. I mean, when you're up

172
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 3: thirty five to nothing or whatever it was a quarter

173
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 3: and a half into the game, you expect them to

174
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 3: lean on the run game. You expect Zach Charbonay to

175
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 3: get his yards, you expect K nine to get his yards. Richard,

176
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:33,960
Speaker 3: let's go back to that defense. DeMarcus Lawrence when he

177
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:37,720
Speaker 3: left Dallas this offseason, he threw some shade at Jerry Jones.

178
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 3: He says, I want to go win a Super Bowl,

179
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 3: and I think everyone kind of scratched her head and said,

180
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 3: he if you want to go win a Super Bowl,

181
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 3: why are you going to Seattle. Well, hey, maybe he

182
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 3: was right, because this Seattle Seahawks team looks like they

183
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 3: could be a force to be reckoned with in this NFC.

184
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 3: And Richard, I believe in you. I endorse your positioning

185
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 3: of them at number one in your power ranks. I

186
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 3: think you might have in a week early personally. But

187
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,320
Speaker 3: that's why I'm sporting the Seattle Seahawks cap. They've earned

188
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 3: it from me, Richard, I think you got a heck

189
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:08,840
Speaker 3: of a team in Seattle.

190
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:11,679
Speaker 1: My friend Mitchell, it's better to be earlier than late.

191
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 1: That's what my coach has always said, and I'm better.

192
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 1: It's better to be lucky than good. I'd rather be

193
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 1: good and lucky, though, But I feel great about the

194
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks team. The death at the defensive line again.

195
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 1: You talked about it, embarrassment of riches, But Rashi Rashisha

196
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 1: heat is only going to open up this running game,

197
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 1: and I expect the running game to open up because

198
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 1: of him. I expect him to be a huge weapon

199
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 1: against the LA Rams next week. I expect him Clint

200
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:41,320
Speaker 1: uh Uh Clint Kubiak to draw up some cool plays

201
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 1: for him Uh this week because of their relationship in

202
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 1: New Orleans and everything they did there. I look forward

203
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 1: to seeing how that goes and I can't wait for

204
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 1: that matchup. I think the Seattle Seahawks defense and secondary

205
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:58,439
Speaker 1: is jailing and in a big time way. I think

206
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 1: they're playing their best football. This is one of their

207
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:03,479
Speaker 1: best games. A lot of PBUs, a lot of breakups,

208
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:05,560
Speaker 1: just a lot of swag, and I like this. Have

209
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 1: you seen the receivers doing this ISO thing, Mitchell. It's

210
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 1: like the new celebration, like the ISO thing from basketball.

211
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 1: It's like an ISO plates what Kobe used to be

212
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:15,560
Speaker 1: in a triangle. He used to say, I'm breaking a

213
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 1: triangle like I'm going I'm gonna row And I wish,

214
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 1: I wish I were doing that one out because I

215
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 1: do the whole comeback like he's getting clapped.

216
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 2: But that story for different.

217
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 3: I'm still trying to figure out what six seven means.

218
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 3: You're throwing up these signs. I don't know what any

219
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 3: of this stuff means.

220
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 2: Man.

221
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:33,080
Speaker 3: Maybe I'm just getting to walls.

222
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 2: But rich too, Richard.

223
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 3: But like you talked about, they got a huge game

224
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 3: next week in LA. And let's talk about LA because

225
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 3: I know you're San Francisco forty nine ers. And I

226
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:46,959
Speaker 3: saw the hat swap to the San Francisco forty nine

227
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:50,439
Speaker 3: lud looking very clean. They took on the LA Rams

228
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 3: today and unfortunately LA got the best of them. Talk

229
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:56,840
Speaker 3: to me about this game, Matthew Stafford just looks dynamite.

230
00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 3: I mean, the guy. I don't know if he's ever

231
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:01,440
Speaker 3: gonna lead this league is he seems to be playing

232
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 3: the best football he ever has. I love him here

233
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:06,080
Speaker 3: in Detroit, but you see new life in him in

234
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:08,839
Speaker 3: LA and this team looks competitive. Is all get out?

235
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:10,719
Speaker 3: Seven and two now with a huge win on the

236
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 3: road against the forty nine ers. Talk to me about

237
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 3: this game and I'm gonna switch it back to my

238
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 3: lions at my friend.

239
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not mad at that match.

240
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 1: I appreciate the support, but yet you got to give

241
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford a ton of credit. Another four touchdown game

242
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 1: for him, he had, he had another. He's leading the

243
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:29,719
Speaker 1: league in passing touchdowns right now at his age. I

244
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:32,960
Speaker 1: think he's thirty nine right now. It's a testament to

245
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,320
Speaker 1: who he is. They lost Davonte Adams late in this

246
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 1: game with what appeared to be a tight back. He

247
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,320
Speaker 1: looked like he was poised to go back in potentially

248
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 1: if they needed him to. But Poka Nkua made some

249
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:48,320
Speaker 1: huge clutch plays down the stretch for this team, and

250
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:49,680
Speaker 1: you got to give them a ton of credit. The

251
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 1: San Francisco forty nine Ers defense just look, I don't

252
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 1: know what else to say about it, uninspired, as kind

253
00:12:58,360 --> 00:12:59,599
Speaker 1: of as I can put it, as nice as I

254
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 1: can put it. They were the only team to get

255
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 1: a sack in this game, and it was a split

256
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 1: between Kalia Davis and Kean White. I think Kean White

257
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 1: looks like a good addition. When you get Nicholas john

258
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 1: Bosa back, you get Fred Warner back, you potentially get

259
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 1: another piece back, Michel Williams back. I think he's gonna

260
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,679
Speaker 1: fit in nicely and he's gonna look even better than

261
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:21,560
Speaker 1: he does now. I think that's a huge pickup for

262
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 1: the future with the San Francisco forty nine ers. I

263
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:27,680
Speaker 1: think thought Ben Bartch looked good. I thought Spencer Beauford,

264
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 1: h Spencer Buford looked is playing really well next to

265
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:36,680
Speaker 1: Trent Williams. And I talked to Trent Williams before the

266
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 1: first Rams game and he told me how hard Spencer

267
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 1: Buford had been working, how much confidence he had in him,

268
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 1: how excited he was to see him back on the

269
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:48,560
Speaker 1: field and see him get an opportunity. And he's done

270
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 1: a lot with his opportunity. The offensive line did not

271
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:54,080
Speaker 1: allow us sacked today. That's one positive note. You know,

272
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 1: I'm trying to find some silver lining for the San

273
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 1: Francisco forty nin Ers fans. The offensive line didn't allow

274
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 1: a sack. Again, it's a very aggressive La Rams front,

275
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 1: very dynamic. The offense moved the ball really well. If

276
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 1: it wasn't for again, it's a game of inches, if

277
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 1: it wasn't for a play here, play there. There was

278
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 1: a fumble by Juwan Jennings. There was a turnover on

279
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 1: downs earlier in this game, and it allowed the Rams

280
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 1: to get out and to elite that ended up being insurmountable.

281
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 1: But I thought Mac Jones again played really good football,

282
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 1: thirty three or thirty nine, three to nineteen to three touchdowns.

283
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 1: In the interception that got tipped up with him, you know,

284
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 1: it was a play he had to have.

285
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 2: He had to let the ball go. It was a

286
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 2: fourth down.

287
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 1: He had to put the ball in harm's way, and

288
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 1: Emmanuel Forbes made a great play on it that I

289
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 1: don't think it does anything to shake the confidence of

290
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan and him, And I think there is a

291
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 1: little bit of a quarterback controversy. And I'm not even

292
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 1: trying to be controversial. I love brock Purty. I think

293
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 1: brock Purty is the guy in San Francisco. But there

294
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 1: is something about a hot hend and guy playing you

295
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 1: know what I mean, and knocking off the rust. And

296
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 1: there aren't many games where you feel comfortable saying, hey,

297
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 1: this is a game. We feel like we can knock

298
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 1: the rust off. You know, this is a game we

299
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 1: put somebody in and knock the rust off. San Francisco

300
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 1: forty nine Ers are six and four in the NFC

301
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 1: is as competitive as it's ever been. I mean, you

302
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 1: look at the Bears are fighting. They're five and three

303
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 1: right now, and they're finding ways to win. You look

304
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 1: at the Eagles two losses, only two losses. You look

305
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 1: at the Seattle Seahawks in their own division, the Rams

306
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 1: in their own.

307
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 2: Division with only two losses.

308
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 1: So it's starting to get to that time even with

309
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 1: the winning record, where it's desperation tom in the San

310
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 1: Francisco forty nine Ers are going to have to answer

311
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 1: the call.

312
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 2: The run game has been stagged in.

313
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 1: Obviously, they were down for a lot of this game,

314
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 1: so a lot of the onus was on Mac Jones.

315
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 1: He missed the touch potential touchdown pass to DeMarcus Robinson

316
00:15:56,680 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 1: early in the actually late in the second half, right

317
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 1: before halftime. They were on a two minute drive and

318
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 1: he went a post, and you know, Tom Brady made

319
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 1: it appearance to everybody that that nobody was above it

320
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 1: was a quarters beater. They had him. Mac missed it.

321
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 1: He ended up throwing completetion of Juwan Jennings. But that

322
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:15,280
Speaker 1: was a missed opportunity that they had to have. But

323
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know what the UH forty

324
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 1: nine ers are gonna do. I think they could justify

325
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 1: bringing Brock Purdy back just because the team lost, but

326
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 1: it's not because mac Jols didn't play good enough. And

327
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 1: I think he's making himself a lot of money. I

328
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 1: think there's a chance he has a big market for

329
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 1: him next offseason. I think the Arizona Cardinals will call,

330
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 1: the Jets will call. Depends on what happens in some

331
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 1: of the other quarterback situations, but a number of guys

332
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 1: it would would be calling for Mac Jones because he

333
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 1: fits well in a number of these schemes. And I'm

334
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 1: looking forward to seeing that for him because he deserves it.

335
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 1: He's been playing at a really high level and he

336
00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 1: deserves a chance to start in this league, and he

337
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 1: looks like a starting caliber player George Kittle made a

338
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 1: big impact today and fought all the way until the

339
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:05,199
Speaker 1: very end, and you can appreciate that.

340
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:10,880
Speaker 2: But they got to find some help. And and it's hard.

341
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 2: It's hard. It's hard because there were a lot of

342
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:14,680
Speaker 2: open receivers this game.

343
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:18,120
Speaker 1: And it wasn't even on the play where it looked

344
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:21,200
Speaker 1: like they had Matthew Stafford corral. You know, guys coming

345
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 1: off guys late late in the down and Matthew finding them.

346
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 1: You know they're coming off tight ends in the end

347
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:31,119
Speaker 1: zone and allow on Matthew Stafford throw his four hundred

348
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:34,119
Speaker 1: touchdown of his career, only the ninth quarterback to have

349
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:37,359
Speaker 1: done so in his career. But I don't know, I

350
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:39,440
Speaker 1: don't know what the answers are on defense. You can

351
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:41,640
Speaker 1: only bring so much pressure. You can only blitz. That's

352
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:44,479
Speaker 1: not an that's not an answer. Uh and, And Matthew

353
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:48,120
Speaker 1: Stafford found guys just about every time the San Francisco

354
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 1: forty nine ers blitzed in this game.

355
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:52,119
Speaker 2: So it's it's it's tough.

356
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 1: It's tough because you don't necessarily have enough talent to

357
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:57,679
Speaker 1: go man to man and bring pressure like you want to.

358
00:17:58,680 --> 00:17:59,119
Speaker 2: The guys.

359
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 1: You need to be out there are injured. Your best

360
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 1: players are on injured reserve. Anytimes that's the case, it's

361
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:07,560
Speaker 1: gonna be tough on you. So but the next four game,

362
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:09,399
Speaker 1: I mean, the next three games are winnable games for

363
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 1: the San Francisco forty nine and then a bye week,

364
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:14,920
Speaker 1: a chance to reset. They play the Arizona Cardinals coming

365
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 1: off a drubbing from the Seattle Seahawks, and they play

366
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 1: the Carolina Panthers, who've been playing better football, but San

367
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:23,159
Speaker 1: Francisco should should be able to win that game. And

368
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 1: then the Browns team that is gonna be picking very

369
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 1: high in the draft, so if they can get these

370
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:30,359
Speaker 1: three heading into the buy, they'll feel really good about

371
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:34,440
Speaker 1: themselves and feel really good going forward. So it feels

372
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:36,359
Speaker 1: like all is lost after a game like this, but

373
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:37,919
Speaker 1: it's not.

374
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:40,159
Speaker 2: It's not. You can go into the buy.

375
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 1: Nine to four and with a renewed energy and feeling

376
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 1: like there's there's a chance for this team, even with

377
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:52,200
Speaker 1: all the debilitating injuries that this team has suffered. So

378
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:53,960
Speaker 1: it's it's a it's one game at a time. From

379
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 1: this question, I mean, from this point on, no.

380
00:18:56,840 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 3: Question about it. The one thing about San Francisco four Niners.

381
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 3: It kind of reminds me of what the Detroit Lions

382
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 3: went through last year with all the injuries on one

383
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:08,160
Speaker 3: side of the ball, specifically defensively, the Niners. They're gonna

384
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 3: have to outscore teams, and they're gonna have to lean

385
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:12,480
Speaker 3: on their offense, and they're gonna have score in bunches.

386
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 3: If they have any hopes of winning this division and

387
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 3: doing anything in the playoffs, there's no question about it.

388
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:22,119
Speaker 3: They have the offensive weapons to be able to do it.

389
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:24,399
Speaker 3: I don't know the standards of Brandon Ayuk. You know, obviously,

390
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 3: if they can get past the bye week, bring him back.

391
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:29,719
Speaker 3: He adds an extra spark to that offense. But games

392
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 3: like this are gonna happen, especially against a high profile

393
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 3: quarterback and a high profile offense like the La Rams.

394
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 3: Like you said, these next three games are very winnable

395
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:40,880
Speaker 3: if they can go into the by at nine to four,

396
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 3: and who knows what's gonna happen. The Rams and Seahawks

397
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 3: play each other next week, someone's gonna take a loss.

398
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 3: So I think this division still open for them. They

399
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 3: just have got to get hot offensively quick. But Richard,

400
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:53,520
Speaker 3: I want to talk a little bit more about the

401
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:56,720
Speaker 3: LA Rams before we lead this game. You know, this

402
00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 3: NFC is very crowded right now. There's a lot of

403
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 3: good teams in this NFC, and there's a lot of

404
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 3: teams winning a lot of games. Where do you see

405
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:06,439
Speaker 3: LA stacking up against the rest of them? I know

406
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 3: you love your Seattle Seahawks, but I mean, talk to me, man.

407
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:13,200
Speaker 3: You see Matthew Stafford playing an a his a game

408
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 3: constantly week in and week out. That's got to give

409
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 3: you some pause going into next week against the Seattle Seahawks.

410
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 3: And I guess we'll end up seeing what happens on

411
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:23,840
Speaker 3: the field. But I mean, these guys are contenders in

412
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 3: my eyes. Do you do you see the same thing

413
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:26,639
Speaker 3: with LA Rams.

414
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're definitely contenders. There's no there's no if sends

415
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:34,359
Speaker 1: in or butts about that. But no, it doesn't give

416
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 1: me any palls at all. Not for the Seattle Seahawks fans.

417
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:38,439
Speaker 2: Uh.

418
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:40,480
Speaker 1: If I'm a Seattle Seahawks fan, I feel really good

419
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 1: about my team going into this matchup. I feel really

420
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:46,879
Speaker 1: good about this defensive line. I feel really good about

421
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:50,400
Speaker 1: I feel really good about this defensive line. I feel

422
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 1: good about how Sam Darnold's playing I feel like we

423
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 1: may have the best receiver in the National Football League

424
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:58,440
Speaker 1: right now in Jason Smith and Jigba. I feel good

425
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:03,720
Speaker 1: about our death at receivers, getting Rashid Shaheed involved next week,

426
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:08,480
Speaker 1: and even just the fear and the preparation that it

427
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 1: takes when you have a guy with that kind of speed.

428
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:12,800
Speaker 2: The Rams are going to have to account for him.

429
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:13,920
Speaker 2: They're a certain quarter.

430
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:16,399
Speaker 1: You're not gonna play quarters if you play quarters in

431
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 1: the first quarter against the Seattle Seahawks. Expect Rashid Shaheit

432
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:21,719
Speaker 1: to have his first touchdown early in that game. There

433
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 1: were opportunities for the San Francisco forty nine Ers to

434
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:28,719
Speaker 1: have it. I expect the Seattle Seahawks to expose those

435
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 1: same traits and take advantage of it.

436
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 2: So I think they're you know, the Rams feel good.

437
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 2: The Rams look really good.

438
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:38,119
Speaker 1: Stafford looks like the MVP of the league right now

439
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:43,480
Speaker 1: behind Jonathan Taylor. But I steal I still think there's

440
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:46,879
Speaker 1: question marks on that defense. They're playing great, but to

441
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:49,679
Speaker 1: not get a sack against his San Francisco forty nine

442
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:51,919
Speaker 1: Ers defense, I mean offensive line that is giving up

443
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 1: a number of sacks this season should be a little troubling.

444
00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:57,480
Speaker 2: We'll see how this game goes.

445
00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 1: You never know. Every game is a new, new experience.

446
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:02,919
Speaker 1: This year, it's hard to predict anything. Every time you

447
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 1: think you got a team pegged, they do something ridiculous

448
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:07,440
Speaker 1: to have you scratch your head.

449
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 2: And that's every single team. You got.

450
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:12,880
Speaker 1: The Indianapolis coach, you feel like they're kings of the world.

451
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:15,560
Speaker 1: Then they turn them all over six times against the

452
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:19,359
Speaker 1: Steelers and lose. You think the Seattle Seahawks, you know,

453
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:20,440
Speaker 1: are the kings.

454
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:20,639
Speaker 2: Of the world.

455
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:24,160
Speaker 1: They have a shootout at home against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers,

456
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 1: who are a good.

457
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:26,679
Speaker 2: Team, but they lose.

458
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 1: And then you have the Rams lose to an under

459
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 1: man forty nine Ers team and they turn around and

460
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 1: beat him this time, but they lost to them at home.

461
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 1: That gives you paus. I feel like every team has

462
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 1: had that kind of loss. The Buffalo Bills, I mean,

463
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:42,879
Speaker 1: there's a number of losses, but their loss today is

464
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:45,639
Speaker 1: the most troubling of the season, no question about it.

465
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:47,840
Speaker 1: It gives it leaves you with a lot more questions

466
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 1: than answers. So if there's anybody sitting there saying, I

467
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 1: know who's gonna make the Super Bowl, this year it's

468
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 1: the Kids the City Chiefs, or it's the Buffalo Bills,

469
00:22:56,359 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 1: or it's the Eagles who lost to the Jackson Dart

470
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 1: and the Boys in New York not too long ago.

471
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:07,200
Speaker 1: Then I don't think you know what you're talking about,

472
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 1: because there's no predicting anything this year. The only thing

473
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:13,880
Speaker 1: predictable about this season is the unpredictability of it. Today's

Speaker 3: I mean, it seems like it's open for anyone that

500
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 3: wants it. I mean, we saw the Detroit Lions. And

501
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:47,760
Speaker 3: let's talk about Detroit Lions. They had a stinker of

502
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:50,399
Speaker 3: a game last week against the Minnesota Vikings. You know,

503
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 3: they played a decent game, but ultimately JJ McCarthy, his

504
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 3: coming back to Michigan party worked out in his favorite

505
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:01,960
Speaker 3: big time. With that win, Detroit needed to respond. And

506
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,280
Speaker 3: this was a team, the Washington Commanders that took him

507
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:07,359
Speaker 3: out last year in the Divisional round of the playoffs.

508
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 3: And you knew the Detroit Lions were gonna come for

509
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 3: blood today and they did just that. They handled this

510
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:15,040
Speaker 3: game right from the jump, Richard, before we get into

511
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:18,320
Speaker 3: the meat of this game. I mean, I'm just curious

512
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 3: how many NFL games had ended forty four to twenty two,

513
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:25,119
Speaker 3: because we saw two of them and forty four to

514
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 3: twenty two in the four o'clock hour with the Seattle

515
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:30,960
Speaker 3: Seahawks and the Arizona Cardinals finishing forty four to twenty two.

516
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:34,440
Speaker 3: So anyone who you know plays the whole score agami

517
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 3: thing or whatever the heck they call it, I mean,

518
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:38,560
Speaker 3: you see two in the four o'clock hour, that's pretty random.

519
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:42,560
Speaker 3: But Richard, this Detroit Lions team, they finally looked like

520
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:45,639
Speaker 3: they were back offensively. Dan Campbell took the reins as

521
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 3: OLC today Johnny Morton. There's been a lot of questions

522
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:51,480
Speaker 3: about him, about the old line, about you know, this

523
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 3: run game, about you know, converting more on third down,

524
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 3: and we saw the Detroit Lions of last year show

525
00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:00,879
Speaker 3: up today. Jared Goff three hundred and twenty yards, three touchdowns.

526
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:03,639
Speaker 3: Jamier Gibbs has an amazing day one hundred and forty two,

527
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:06,320
Speaker 3: two touchdowns and six receptions for another one hundred and

528
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:08,800
Speaker 3: nineteen yards in a touchdown, and then they talked about

529
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:11,440
Speaker 3: it at nauseum. You know, going into last two weeks,

530
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 3: they're gonna get Jame Oh Jamison Williams involved, and they

531
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:17,240
Speaker 3: did just at six receptions, one hundred and nineteen yards

532
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:21,840
Speaker 3: in a touchdown. Richard, this team looked to me like

533
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 3: they're ready for the Philadelphia Eagles, who they got next week.

534
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:27,600
Speaker 3: I want to know your thoughts on the Detroit Lions.

535
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 3: Do you think that they are back? Because at one

536
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:32,600
Speaker 3: point in time this season, they were number one in

537
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:34,480
Speaker 3: your power ranks, and I know they're no longer in

538
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:37,359
Speaker 3: those power ranks, but I gotta believe you saw something

539
00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:38,800
Speaker 3: today that you might have just liked.

540
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 2: I just don't.

541
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:42,639
Speaker 1: I see a lot of things that I like from

542
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:45,960
Speaker 1: the Detroit Lions because they're a talented football team. They

543
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:49,639
Speaker 1: should be doing this thing. But the thing that gives

544
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 1: me a ton of balls with this team is a

545
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:54,600
Speaker 1: jekylin Hyde nature of them. You look at them against

546
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:58,160
Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs, you say, not a contender. Then

547
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 1: you see him against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who were

548
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 1: a good team, and you're like, oh, there they are,

549
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:07,320
Speaker 1: there they are. There's the contender. There's a team that

550
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 1: were Super Bowl favorites last year, and then you see

551
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 1: them against the Minnesota Vikings in their own division versus

552
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:17,159
Speaker 1: JJ McCarthy who's coming off the injury, and you're like,

553
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:21,800
Speaker 1: I'm not so fast, my friend. And so that's why

554
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:24,120
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna be fooled again. You fool me once,

555
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 1: shame on me, you know what I mean, pool me twice,

556
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:27,159
Speaker 1: Shame on you.

557
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 2: Fool me three times. Chuck the peace out, you know

558
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 2: what I mean. Low the chop of me. Yeah, sorry, sorry,

559
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:33,919
Speaker 2: that's a destroyer for a different Beck, Mitchell.

560
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:38,160
Speaker 1: But I'm not gonna let a win versus an under

561
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:42,119
Speaker 1: man and less talented Washington Commander's team without their starting

562
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 1: quarterback really really pushed me over to edge.

563
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:47,600
Speaker 2: A win against the Philadelphia Eagles will do that.

564
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:50,240
Speaker 1: It will be the remedy I need, and that will

565
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 1: tell me everything I need to know. A loss against

566
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:55,920
Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Eagles will leave them right in this middle

567
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:58,480
Speaker 1: ground of I don't know. I don't know who they are, Mitchell,

568
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 1: because it doesn't seem like they know who they are.

569
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:00,199
Speaker 2: Are.

570
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:02,639
Speaker 1: Some games they want to play really great defense, like

571
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:06,960
Speaker 1: they against Bay Buccaneers, a high powered offense and hold

572
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:09,240
Speaker 1: them to nine points and then other days they want

573
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 1: to give thirty up to the Kansas City Chiefs. So

574
00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 1: at our gift twenty four up to the Bengals, And

575
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:17,120
Speaker 1: so I don't know, I don't know what you're gonna

576
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:19,720
Speaker 1: get from that defense. I notice offense and Jared Golf

577
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:22,160
Speaker 1: are going to be productive. Jamiir Gibbs looks like one

578
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 1: of the best players in the National Football League, not

579
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:27,119
Speaker 1: just one of the best running backs. Jamison Williams had

580
00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:29,000
Speaker 1: one of his best games as a pro today, six

581
00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:31,400
Speaker 1: receptions FO one hundred and nineteen in a touchdown.

582
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:34,880
Speaker 2: He's finding this way. The defense had two sacks, but.

583
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:40,240
Speaker 1: Consistency, and I'm sure Dan Campbell's preaching the same thing.

584
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 1: Do it again. Do it again, and you'll be telling

585
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:46,200
Speaker 1: us something. You play the Eagles next week. That's your

586
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 1: chance to prove your point.

587
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 3: What do you make of Dan Campbell calling the plays?

588
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:54,520
Speaker 3: I mean, there was some folks here in Detroit that

589
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:58,480
Speaker 3: are questioning Johnny Mooreton. They love Calvin Sheppard, the defensive coordinator,

590
00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 3: but this new OC, you know, transition from Ben Johnson

591
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 3: to John Morton has not worked out the way people

592
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 3: wanted to. Now we see Dan Campbell take over the

593
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:13,959
Speaker 3: play calling. Again, This happened before. This happened before when

594
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 3: when Dan Campbell first got to Detroit, he took over

595
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 3: the play calling for the OC then and then the

596
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:21,240
Speaker 3: OC ended up getting fired. I'm not saying that Johnny

597
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:23,320
Speaker 3: Morton should lose his job by no means. I think

598
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:25,480
Speaker 3: it's a learning curve that he's going through, and I

599
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:28,800
Speaker 3: think he's, you know, done a competent job. But what

600
00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 3: do you make of Dan Campbell taking over these play calls.

601
00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 1: Well, he's putting on this on himself, and obviously he

602
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:38,000
Speaker 1: feels like you can make a difference. But I'm old

603
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 1: enough to remember the fifty two points against the New

604
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:44,240
Speaker 1: I mean against the Chicago Bears. I'm old enough to

605
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 1: remember when they put up thirty eight against the Ravens

606
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:49,560
Speaker 1: in prime time and it was so freaking great and

607
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:50,960
Speaker 1: everybody's singing his praises.

608
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:55,120
Speaker 2: But this is a what have you done for me lately? League?

609
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:58,240
Speaker 1: And lately it was a it was a tough game

610
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:01,840
Speaker 1: versus the Minnesota Vikings, and that's enough for Dan Campbell

611
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:04,000
Speaker 1: to say, hey, I'll do I'll take it from here.

612
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's an indictment on Morton. Sometimes

613
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:09,360
Speaker 1: people are just not ready for the moment. But let's

614
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:12,040
Speaker 1: not act like they haven't had immense success with him

615
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 1: at the Helm. I want to give Lions fans that

616
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:19,480
Speaker 1: a little bit of a perspective. Sure, you can go

617
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:21,680
Speaker 1: away from him and choose that, but let's not act

618
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 1: like he hasn't called some really good games this season.

619
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:27,160
Speaker 3: No question about it, Richard, you already touched on it.

620
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:30,920
Speaker 3: The Buffalo Bills, I mean, I don't even know how

621
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:33,840
Speaker 3: this happens. I had penciled the Buffalo Bills into the

622
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:36,320
Speaker 3: Super Bowl at the beginning of the season, and right

623
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:38,680
Speaker 3: now I question whether they're even going to make the playoffs.

624
00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:42,560
Speaker 3: I mean, we've seen them really struggle in random games

625
00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:45,320
Speaker 3: this year, and we see it today. They got absolutely

626
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 3: dominated by the Miami Dolphins, who seemingly have nothing to

627
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:51,880
Speaker 3: play for with the exception of their head coach's job,

628
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:56,000
Speaker 3: and Devon a Chan ran wild on them all day

629
00:30:56,120 --> 00:31:00,480
Speaker 3: to you know, not nothing great statistically, but too touchdowns

630
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:03,640
Speaker 3: Jalen Wattle with a big touchdown catch in this game.

631
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:06,560
Speaker 3: And defensively they were all over the place. Two forest fumbles,

632
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:11,600
Speaker 3: an interception, three sacks. Josh Allen. Where is this MVP

633
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:15,760
Speaker 3: Josh Allen because the guy has been struggling and I

634
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:17,720
Speaker 3: don't know what it is with this Bills team, but

635
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:21,240
Speaker 3: maybe you can add some enlighten me a bit, because

636
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:24,000
Speaker 3: how does this happen? Because I thought the Buffalo Bills

637
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:27,120
Speaker 3: were the upper echelon of this league, but right now

638
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:28,360
Speaker 3: they're looking very mid tier.

639
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:32,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's the way they've looked the majority of

640
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:35,560
Speaker 1: this season. But they've got away with it because James

641
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:37,920
Speaker 1: Cook has played at a high level, and I think

642
00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 1: they have gone as James Cook has gone, because if

643
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:43,360
Speaker 1: you look at statistically, josh avan three hundred and six yards,

644
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:46,080
Speaker 1: two touchdowns, He had the two turnovers, the interception in

645
00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:50,240
Speaker 1: the fumble, but you would say Josh Allen did his part.

646
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:52,320
Speaker 2: But usually you.

647
00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:54,680
Speaker 1: See James Cook with one hundred yards one hundred and

648
00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:56,440
Speaker 1: fifty yards and them controlling the game.

649
00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:58,120
Speaker 2: That the opposite was true.

650
00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:03,520
Speaker 1: Today they haven't a chain at chain or it felt

651
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:06,600
Speaker 1: like he wanted the challenge. He felt said he feels

652
00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:09,240
Speaker 1: like when he plays against James Cook, he feels like

653
00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 1: it's a personal matchup and he wants to outplay him.

654
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:12,640
Speaker 2: And he did that today.

655
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:14,840
Speaker 1: Twenty two carries for one hundred and seventy four yards

656
00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:17,880
Speaker 1: and two touchdowns. That's the reison. They were able to

657
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:20,600
Speaker 1: control this game from start to finish. Obviously to a

658
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:22,920
Speaker 1: ton of I lower fifteen to twenty one did have

659
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 1: the two touchdowns in the two interceptions. But their defense,

660
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:28,280
Speaker 1: their defense, give the Miami defense a ton of credit.

661
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:35,520
Speaker 1: Defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver, you know, our guy to sean shit.

662
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:40,280
Speaker 1: They had three sacks, two forced fumbles in the interception.

663
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:42,840
Speaker 1: They have felt all season that they were right there

664
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:45,720
Speaker 1: on the cusp. They felt like if their offense could

665
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 1: just give him some possessions. You know, no defense does

666
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:52,080
Speaker 1: well being on the field seventy five percent of the game,

667
00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:54,960
Speaker 1: not one defense. You know, sure nobody does well being

668
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:57,640
Speaker 1: on the field seventy five percent at the time. But

669
00:32:58,000 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 1: if you can get a running game and you can

670
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:02,280
Speaker 1: give the defense some breaks, you can score some touchdown,

671
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:04,480
Speaker 1: give them a lead and allow them to play. Then

672
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:06,400
Speaker 1: you look at your pass rushers and they get high.

673
00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 1: You look at your secondary, they start playing better. You

674
00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:11,080
Speaker 1: look at your defense and it's easier to get stops.

675
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:15,480
Speaker 1: Jalen Waddle five receptions for eighty four yards. There was

676
00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:18,280
Speaker 1: the rumors about the Bills trying to trade for him

677
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:21,920
Speaker 1: before the game. I'm sure the Miami Dolphins are like, sure,

678
00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:24,320
Speaker 1: you want to see him up closing personal again, we

679
00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:27,800
Speaker 1: will showcase him today. And that's what they did, and

680
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:32,080
Speaker 1: that was cool. But the Buffalo Bills being shut out

681
00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:34,680
Speaker 1: in the first half of this game, that's a head

682
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:37,240
Speaker 1: scratcher for me. This is too good of a team,

683
00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:39,960
Speaker 1: too talented. They put too much money into this team.

684
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:43,000
Speaker 1: But certain moves you look at and you're like, hmm,

685
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:46,240
Speaker 1: Like bringing back Gabe Davis. You're like, oh, you don't

686
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:49,560
Speaker 1: feel good about your receiving core right now. It's something

687
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:51,720
Speaker 1: that's been the case in Buffalo for a long time.

688
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:54,920
Speaker 1: Everybody was happy to hear Stefan Diggs is going getting

689
00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 1: out of town and you don't need a number one

690
00:33:57,080 --> 00:34:00,280
Speaker 1: and you can do it by committee. No you can not.

691
00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:02,760
Speaker 1: You want to hear it again, No, you cannot. The

692
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 1: receiver by committee thing does not work in this league.

693
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:08,160
Speaker 1: It works good enough for a regular season. You'll get

694
00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:12,360
Speaker 1: a couple wins, but you need a guy and big dogs.

695
00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:15,400
Speaker 1: You need big dogs, and a big dog eats first

696
00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:18,400
Speaker 1: and eats all the time. You see the receivers with

697
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:22,200
Speaker 1: big dogs and critical situations. Guess where they go, Mitchell,

698
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:25,160
Speaker 1: you guessed it. Big dogs, And when you don't have

699
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:28,759
Speaker 1: a big dog, like the Buffalo Bills and the Green

700
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:31,440
Speaker 1: Bay Packers, you don't know where you're going. You have

701
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:34,040
Speaker 1: no rhythm with guys. The quarterbacks like hey, I can

702
00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:37,520
Speaker 1: go anywhere with it or nowhere. And that's what happens

703
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:41,399
Speaker 1: in these big games. You run into teams where you're like, hey,

704
00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:43,040
Speaker 1: we don't got to cover anybody. We're gonna play gat

705
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:44,960
Speaker 1: we're gonna press your quarterback, we're gonna make you play

706
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:46,480
Speaker 1: left handed, and see if you can beat us with

707
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:48,279
Speaker 1: the guys you say you can meet us with. And

708
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 1: they weren't able to today. They weren't able to against

709
00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:54,439
Speaker 1: the New England Patriots. There's been too many games where

710
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:57,640
Speaker 1: it just looked like they were outmatched. And they're supposed

711
00:34:57,680 --> 00:34:59,680
Speaker 1: to be the more talented team where the receivers could

712
00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:02,239
Speaker 1: not get open, and they're supposed to be the more

713
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:06,560
Speaker 1: talented team where their defense couldn't get a stop. And

714
00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:08,880
Speaker 1: you look at games where their defense plays better and

715
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:10,759
Speaker 1: they play at a high level, and you're you look

716
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:13,480
Speaker 1: at secondary like ooh, they're making play these and then

717
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:17,200
Speaker 1: games like this where You're like, hmm, there's a glaring

718
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:19,520
Speaker 1: weakness on this team and it'll be exploited in the

719
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:21,320
Speaker 1: playoffs if they if they don't fix.

720
00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:24,359
Speaker 3: It, it might be too late to fix it. Richard,

721
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:26,000
Speaker 3: I don't know whatever they're going to turn to. I

722
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:29,120
Speaker 3: mean Kean Coleman. I loved him at Michigan State, but

723
00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:32,040
Speaker 3: he struggled getting open, he struggles creating separation. I mean,

724
00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:34,840
Speaker 3: right now, they're go to guys Kalier Shakir, who's more

725
00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:38,040
Speaker 3: of a slot guy. We saw Dalton Kincaid lead their

726
00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:40,759
Speaker 3: team in receiving yards last week. Who's a tight end.

727
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:44,600
Speaker 3: You're absolutely right, I mean we saw this. We'll talk

728
00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:47,280
Speaker 3: about a next But like you see this with middling teams,

729
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:49,360
Speaker 3: with teams that are the lower tier of this NFL.

730
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:52,040
Speaker 3: You see this with the New England Patriots last year,

731
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:54,520
Speaker 3: who had absolutely no one to throw to. You already

732
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:56,520
Speaker 3: said it. I mean the Green Bay Packers, that's going

733
00:35:56,600 --> 00:35:58,279
Speaker 3: to be their Achilles Hill. They got a bunch of

734
00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:02,200
Speaker 3: number two wideouts and fortunately their top guy, their top dog,

735
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:05,319
Speaker 3: their tight end goes out for the season with an

736
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:07,680
Speaker 3: ACL injury. Now who are they going to lean on?

737
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:10,839
Speaker 3: You know, Christian Watson who's coming off the ACL that's

738
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:13,040
Speaker 3: a question mark. But yeah, I mean with the Buffalo

739
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:17,120
Speaker 3: Bills team, there's no firepower. Their firepowers their quarterback and

740
00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:19,120
Speaker 3: their firepowers. They're running back, but I don't know who

741
00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:21,200
Speaker 3: their quarterback is going to throw to. And if they're

742
00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:22,880
Speaker 3: not throwing the football, then it's gonna be a heck

743
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:26,120
Speaker 3: of a lot harder for James Cook to run wild.

744
00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:28,000
Speaker 3: We're gonna see more of these games like this this

745
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:31,080
Speaker 3: year from them, I'm afraid. And we saw it early

746
00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:33,279
Speaker 3: with them taking getting taken down at home by the

747
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:35,960
Speaker 3: New England Patriots and everyone was scratching their heads. But

748
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:38,680
Speaker 3: don't look now, and let's talk about this New England

749
00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:41,640
Speaker 3: Patriots team is eight and two, Richard, and they have

750
00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:45,719
Speaker 3: not been tested outside of that Buffalo Bills game. This

751
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:48,840
Speaker 3: was their first major test since that game on the

752
00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:51,200
Speaker 3: road against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who are one of

753
00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:53,560
Speaker 3: the better teams in this league. And they took care

754
00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:56,279
Speaker 3: of business. It came down to the wire late, but

755
00:36:56,920 --> 00:36:59,959
Speaker 3: you know, the New England Patriots were up multiple score

756
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:04,080
Speaker 3: late in this game. And Drake may you know, he

757
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:07,520
Speaker 3: continues to impress Richard before we get into this game.

758
00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 3: I want to talk about Drake May. This guy is

759
00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:12,520
Speaker 3: in his second year in this league and it looks

760
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:16,239
Speaker 3: like the New England Patriots quickly found able another gem

761
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:19,759
Speaker 3: at quarterback. And Drake May, where do you rank him?

762
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:23,880
Speaker 3: You know in this quarterback hierarchy right now? Is I

763
00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:25,960
Speaker 3: know we talked about it previously, but is he a

764
00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:27,320
Speaker 3: top ten guy in your eyes?

765
00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:29,879
Speaker 1: Oh, no question about it. He's the top ten guy.

766
00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:33,160
Speaker 1: And you know we hear this all the time. You know,

767
00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:36,840
Speaker 1: the top four guys. You know, they played musical chairs

768
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:39,080
Speaker 1: and it's either Burrows the top guy one year, and

769
00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:41,799
Speaker 1: it's Josh Avan, then it's Lamar of course, and then

770
00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:44,480
Speaker 1: it's of course my homes. You can never forget about

771
00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:47,719
Speaker 1: who's having a really good season this year. But they

772
00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:50,880
Speaker 1: don't leave room for other quarterbacks to move into that

773
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:54,000
Speaker 1: spear and I don't subscribe to that. I think there

774
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:56,399
Speaker 1: are other guys playing at a very high level this year,

775
00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:59,200
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford being included. And Matthew Stafford gets his name

776
00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:03,720
Speaker 1: mentioned in that covered station top five sometimes as he should.

777
00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:07,840
Speaker 1: You hear them them putting names in it, like Herbert

778
00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:12,400
Speaker 1: and I've heard Trevor Lawns before. But I want guys.

779
00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:16,800
Speaker 1: Stroud has been in that conversation. Drake May has cemented

780
00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:20,279
Speaker 1: himself into that conversation. This year he had he was

781
00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:22,920
Speaker 1: sixteen to thirty one, two seventy and two touchdowns, and

782
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:24,160
Speaker 1: a lot of people would say this was one of

783
00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:26,439
Speaker 1: his worst games. This was one of his worst games

784
00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:29,879
Speaker 1: of the season, and they were able to beat a

785
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:31,160
Speaker 1: really good Tempa.

786
00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:33,800
Speaker 2: Bay Buccaneers team. Their defense had two sacks.

787
00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:37,960
Speaker 1: Stefon Diggs had five receptions forty six yards and a touchdown.

788
00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:43,120
Speaker 1: But it was the guy Trey Henderson fourteen carries, one

789
00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:45,400
Speaker 1: forty seven and two touchdowns. Did you see the play

790
00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:47,400
Speaker 1: at the end, Mitchell when he was looking to the

791
00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:49,520
Speaker 1: sideline and saying, Hey, do y'all need.

792
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:50,319
Speaker 2: Me to go down or not?

793
00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:53,239
Speaker 1: You talk about having poise, the rookie having that kind

794
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:56,000
Speaker 1: of poise, that kind of where with Thal during the

795
00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:57,640
Speaker 1: game to say, hey, y'all need me to.

796
00:38:57,600 --> 00:39:00,680
Speaker 2: Go to no, you'll score keep Ronnick.

797
00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:04,960
Speaker 1: I love it. I love it. It's a young team,

798
00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:07,239
Speaker 1: and I love it for Mike Brabel. I love it

799
00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:09,320
Speaker 1: for Mike Brabel, and I love it for the Tennessee

800
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:11,960
Speaker 1: Titans because that's what you get, you idiots.

801
00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:14,720
Speaker 2: You let go of Mike Braveell for no reason.

802
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:18,000
Speaker 1: A guy who was doing things right, bringing competitive teams,

803
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:21,160
Speaker 1: putting together competitive teams while they.

804
00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:22,799
Speaker 2: Were constantly trading away.

805
00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:26,680
Speaker 1: His best players traded away, Derrick Henry traded away all day,

806
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:29,600
Speaker 1: always opened aj Brown, and he found a way to

807
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:32,319
Speaker 1: keep those teams as competitive as you can when you're

808
00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:35,520
Speaker 1: losing guys like that. Now he gets to New England,

809
00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:38,239
Speaker 1: they're supporting him. He has his defense playing at a

810
00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:41,400
Speaker 1: high level. They're scrappy, they're competitive, they're they're they're really

811
00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:45,840
Speaker 1: uh uh uh. They're really embodying who Mike Brabel was

812
00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:48,759
Speaker 1: as a player, you know, just scrappy doing stuff right,

813
00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:52,440
Speaker 1: like gonna fight and scratch and claw to the very end.

814
00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:55,880
Speaker 1: They're well coached, they're running the football well. And then

815
00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:58,560
Speaker 1: you got Drake May with these dis receiving corps that

816
00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:02,240
Speaker 1: are finding ways whether it whether it's Booty, whether it's Diggs.

817
00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:06,200
Speaker 1: They're getting it from Douglas, They're getting it from a

818
00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:08,600
Speaker 1: number of guys. And it's really cool to see because

819
00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:12,480
Speaker 1: we talked about this, this Tampa Bay team, they've been

820
00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:15,440
Speaker 1: a top five team on most people's power rankings, not mine,

821
00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:20,120
Speaker 1: not mine. I know some things but they they've been

822
00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:24,000
Speaker 1: playing well even despite all the injuries. They lost their

823
00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:28,000
Speaker 1: franchise is best receiver and and Mike Evans to a

824
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:31,280
Speaker 1: classical injury early in the season, halfway through the season,

825
00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:33,520
Speaker 1: you know, his first season without a thousand yards, and

826
00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:36,040
Speaker 1: that's a big loss. But they've been playing good football,

827
00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:39,480
Speaker 1: and they're a veteran team with veteran players that know

828
00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:42,600
Speaker 1: how to win in this game league. And they were

829
00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:45,719
Speaker 1: able to keep Baker Mayfield in check. I mean, he

830
00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:48,120
Speaker 1: had he had three touchdowns in the game, but when

831
00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:51,320
Speaker 1: some of them happened late, and stats aren't always indicative

832
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:54,480
Speaker 1: of how the game got went. The Patriots were pretty

833
00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:56,840
Speaker 1: much in control most of this game. They have a

834
00:40:56,960 --> 00:41:00,000
Speaker 1: light schedule and easier schedule. They got the Jets, Bangled

835
00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:05,040
Speaker 1: and Giants coming up, so they could potentially be a

836
00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:07,680
Speaker 1: number one seed and have it wrapped up before seasons

837
00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:10,080
Speaker 1: in because of how easy their schedule is.

838
00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:14,160
Speaker 3: And that's crazy, it's wild. I mean, we were just

839
00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:16,840
Speaker 3: talking about it before we jumped on here. I know

840
00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:19,399
Speaker 3: they're in a battle with the Indianapolis Colts for this

841
00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:21,640
Speaker 3: one seed, but if you really look at their schedule,

842
00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:24,520
Speaker 3: I would assume they've got to be betting favorites to

843
00:41:24,520 --> 00:41:26,880
Speaker 3: finish just the one seed, because dude, they're gonna be

844
00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:29,840
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, there's no way they lose a game in

845
00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:31,799
Speaker 3: their next three. The boy they're playing football right now

846
00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:34,840
Speaker 3: against the Jets, Bengals or Giants, they're gonna be walking

847
00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:39,520
Speaker 3: in eleven and two. That is unheard of for this

848
00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:42,399
Speaker 3: new England Patriots team, coming off the seasons that they've

849
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:46,160
Speaker 3: had in the last three years post Tom Brady. So

850
00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:49,160
Speaker 3: for them, they found new life. We're gonna see what

851
00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:51,359
Speaker 3: happens when they face the big boys. But we saw

852
00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:54,080
Speaker 3: them face a top tier opponent in the Tampa Bay

853
00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:57,920
Speaker 3: Buccaneers today and they met the match and met the challenge.

854
00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:01,319
Speaker 3: But we talked about briefly the Indianapolis Colts, and I

855
00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:04,480
Speaker 3: know you were alluding to it early in this podcast.

856
00:42:04,840 --> 00:42:07,319
Speaker 3: They went across the pond and took care of the

857
00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:10,920
Speaker 3: Atlanta Falcons and they rise to eight and two this season.

858
00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:16,040
Speaker 3: The acquisition of Sauce Gardner has that city on fire

859
00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:18,960
Speaker 3: and they deserve to be. I mean, this team, Holy cow,

860
00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:22,360
Speaker 3: Jonathan Taylor, what is going on with him? Two hundred

861
00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:25,800
Speaker 3: and forty four yards three touchdowns, and you were jumping

862
00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:28,640
Speaker 3: into this conversation earlier, but we got to like fully

863
00:42:28,640 --> 00:42:32,160
Speaker 3: dive into it. To me, if he does not win

864
00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:36,400
Speaker 3: the MDP, something is wrong with the MVP voting because

865
00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:40,319
Speaker 3: there's no player more dominant in football right now than him,

866
00:42:40,600 --> 00:42:43,439
Speaker 3: and there's no player that means more to their team

867
00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:46,440
Speaker 3: right now than Jonathan Taylor. This team is eight and

868
00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:49,279
Speaker 3: two for a reason, and it's because that man is

869
00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:54,040
Speaker 3: an absolute juggernaut every Sunday. Richard, what are your thoughts

870
00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:57,080
Speaker 3: on the Indianapolis Colts and their performance today against the

871
00:42:57,080 --> 00:42:58,120
Speaker 3: Atlanta Falcons.

872
00:42:58,600 --> 00:43:01,840
Speaker 1: I thought it was another do offensive performance by the

873
00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:05,520
Speaker 1: Indianapolis coach. You give Daniel Jones a lot of credit

874
00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:08,279
Speaker 1: because people said he turned into a pumpkin last week.

875
00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:11,120
Speaker 1: The old Daniel Jones. He leads the league in yards

876
00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:14,080
Speaker 1: passing yards right now, and he's finding a way to

877
00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:17,120
Speaker 1: put this team in position. Yes, we gotta give Jonathan

878
00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:18,920
Speaker 1: Taylor all he has to turn around and hand it off.

879
00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:20,000
Speaker 2: He handed it off thirty.

880
00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:22,319
Speaker 1: Two times Jonathan Taylor for two hundred and forty four

881
00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:28,239
Speaker 1: yards and three touchdowns, including the game winner in overtime.

882
00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:32,239
Speaker 1: I mean an incredible move that in that overtime to

883
00:43:32,719 --> 00:43:35,520
Speaker 1: to really get him the touchdowns to score that touchdown.

884
00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:39,000
Speaker 1: He's just an incredible player. And we talk about Saquon

885
00:43:39,040 --> 00:43:43,120
Speaker 1: Barkley last year and all the greatness that he was

886
00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:49,040
Speaker 1: in the two thousand yards rushing. Jonathan Taylor's on on

887
00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:53,680
Speaker 1: on track to surpass that. He's already surpassed the amount

888
00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:57,000
Speaker 1: of touchdowns rushing touchdowns that Saquan had last year. He

889
00:43:57,239 --> 00:43:59,600
Speaker 1: Saquan had thirteen for the season, and I know he

890
00:43:59,680 --> 00:44:03,239
Speaker 1: goes and we know about pushbush. We know you gots

891
00:44:03,440 --> 00:44:05,160
Speaker 1: love it sometimes, but you don't love it in a

892
00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:07,960
Speaker 1: Saquon discussion, but nobody cares.

893
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:08,640
Speaker 2: Nobody cares.

894
00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:11,360
Speaker 1: If you hint, if you Toush pushed it eleven and

895
00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:13,640
Speaker 1: twelve times and he would have had twenty six touchdowns.

896
00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:14,320
Speaker 2: He didn't.

897
00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:16,120
Speaker 1: He didn't if you should have gave it to him

898
00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:18,120
Speaker 1: those times, so he could have had twenty six touchdowns

899
00:44:18,160 --> 00:44:20,040
Speaker 1: and we'd be talking about him in the MVP and

900
00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:24,040
Speaker 1: strengthen the argument. But the Indianapolis Colts are giving him

901
00:44:24,040 --> 00:44:27,960
Speaker 1: the ball and Jonathan Taylor's making long runs and converting them,

902
00:44:28,239 --> 00:44:32,240
Speaker 1: scoring touchdown after touchdown fifteen touchdowns rushing on the season,

903
00:44:32,280 --> 00:44:36,359
Speaker 1: seventeen overall, with the two receiving touchdowns, and it's just

904
00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:39,520
Speaker 1: been dominant. It's not like he's getting it and they're

905
00:44:39,560 --> 00:44:43,160
Speaker 1: already dominating the game. These are critical situations. They don't

906
00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:47,080
Speaker 1: win this game without him. He gets the game clinching touchdown.

907
00:44:47,680 --> 00:44:49,839
Speaker 1: You know when you got to give him, you got

908
00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:51,560
Speaker 1: to give him credit, whereas due he had an eighty

909
00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:54,880
Speaker 1: three yard touchdown in this game. And he's having MVP

910
00:44:55,160 --> 00:44:58,239
Speaker 1: type impact. And I know Matthew Stafford deserved to be

911
00:44:58,280 --> 00:45:01,960
Speaker 1: in a discussion, let's not let's not don't make any

912
00:45:02,040 --> 00:45:06,040
Speaker 1: any any any disrespect to to Matthew Stafford. But this

913
00:45:06,080 --> 00:45:08,920
Speaker 1: guy's playing at a high, high level and deserve to

914
00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:09,600
Speaker 1: be recognized.

915
00:45:09,600 --> 00:45:11,719
Speaker 2: And I'm tired of it just going to quarterbacks.

916
00:45:11,719 --> 00:45:15,160
Speaker 1: It's not fair because they you cannot tell me there's

917
00:45:15,239 --> 00:45:17,000
Speaker 1: more that Jonathan Taylor could be doing.

918
00:45:17,320 --> 00:45:17,800
Speaker 2: You cannot.

919
00:45:17,920 --> 00:45:19,960
Speaker 1: You cannot tell me there's more that he could be

920
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:21,800
Speaker 1: doing for his team. And if there's not more that

921
00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:23,680
Speaker 1: he could be doing for his team, a team that

922
00:45:23,760 --> 00:45:27,000
Speaker 1: nobody expected to be in this position, nobody expected the

923
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:29,440
Speaker 1: Indianapolis coach to be amongst the top teams in the

924
00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:33,000
Speaker 1: National Football League eight and two with a game coming

925
00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:35,359
Speaker 1: up against the Kansas City Chiefs where I would guess

926
00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:39,400
Speaker 1: they'd be favored. If you told me before the season

927
00:45:39,640 --> 00:45:42,799
Speaker 1: that we'd be looking at an Indianapolis coach team where

928
00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:45,799
Speaker 1: even their fans weren't happy when Daniel Jones was named

929
00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:50,200
Speaker 1: the starter, would be going against a Chiefs team with

930
00:45:50,320 --> 00:45:53,800
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid Steele in the in the

931
00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:57,080
Speaker 1: helm and Chris Jones healthy and they go in their

932
00:45:57,120 --> 00:46:00,359
Speaker 1: favorite I'd say, you have lost your day, Amid. That's

933
00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:03,560
Speaker 1: what I would say. But that's the case right now,

934
00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:06,080
Speaker 1: and it's because of a lot of things. Let's not

935
00:46:06,120 --> 00:46:09,640
Speaker 1: say it's all because of Jonathan Taylor, but Jonathan Taylor

936
00:46:09,680 --> 00:46:11,960
Speaker 1: is a huge part of it. And Roumo in this

937
00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:15,719
Speaker 1: defense is another part of that. Daniel Jones playing got

938
00:46:15,760 --> 00:46:18,120
Speaker 1: a high level is another piece of that. But the

939
00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:20,839
Speaker 1: biggest piece right now is Jonathan Taylor and that's why

940
00:46:20,840 --> 00:46:24,320
Speaker 1: he deserves the most valuable player in the National Football League.

941
00:46:24,840 --> 00:46:27,160
Speaker 3: Well, you look at the secondary pieces too, I mean

942
00:46:27,200 --> 00:46:31,799
Speaker 3: Michael Pittman, Alec Pierce, you know, obviously downs on the outside.

943
00:46:31,920 --> 00:46:34,640
Speaker 3: And then they plucked a tight end in the draft

944
00:46:34,920 --> 00:46:36,920
Speaker 3: that probably should have been the first tight end taken

945
00:46:36,960 --> 00:46:39,800
Speaker 3: in this draft, but he slipped past the Chicago Bears

946
00:46:39,800 --> 00:46:42,799
Speaker 3: who took Colston Loveland And that's Tyler Warren. I mean,

947
00:46:42,840 --> 00:46:46,920
Speaker 3: this is Daniel Jones's safety blanket underneath eight catches for

948
00:46:47,040 --> 00:46:50,640
Speaker 3: ninety nine yards. He looks like the next great thing

949
00:46:50,760 --> 00:46:53,200
Speaker 3: at the tight end position. So the Colts are doing

950
00:46:53,200 --> 00:46:56,120
Speaker 3: a lot of things right right now, including drafting the

951
00:46:56,760 --> 00:46:59,600
Speaker 3: obviously their analysis of the quarterback position with Daniel Jones.

952
00:46:59,840 --> 00:47:02,200
Speaker 3: It's gonna give this team life for years to come.

953
00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:05,239
Speaker 3: Indianapolis has got to be fired up to have a

954
00:47:05,320 --> 00:47:09,279
Speaker 3: team that's their best team since Manning played played football there.

955
00:47:09,400 --> 00:47:12,640
Speaker 1: So simmy, think you talk about this one more thing

956
00:47:12,680 --> 00:47:17,000
Speaker 1: because I don't think people are understanding what I'm saying

957
00:47:17,040 --> 00:47:20,440
Speaker 1: about this Gardner trade. I really don't like It's almost

958
00:47:20,520 --> 00:47:24,120
Speaker 1: like people haven't been watching football, Like have you ever

959
00:47:24,239 --> 00:47:28,640
Speaker 1: watched the lou Ana Roumo defense, Like he's he's been

960
00:47:28,640 --> 00:47:31,160
Speaker 1: coaching for a long time. Have you watched his defense?

961
00:47:31,560 --> 00:47:35,200
Speaker 1: How many times have they lived in Manda Man? Not many?

962
00:47:35,280 --> 00:47:36,080
Speaker 2: And and I'm.

963
00:47:36,040 --> 00:47:38,439
Speaker 1: Arguing with fans and I'm sitting there like, oh, yes,

964
00:47:38,680 --> 00:47:40,640
Speaker 1: this is gonna be they We're gonna play all Manda Man?

965
00:47:43,800 --> 00:47:44,080
Speaker 2: Are you?

966
00:47:44,480 --> 00:47:46,840
Speaker 1: Is this Rex Ryan that we're talking about? Is this

967
00:47:46,920 --> 00:47:52,960
Speaker 1: Belichick no like is this PACs no. Lou Ana Roumo

968
00:47:53,160 --> 00:47:56,000
Speaker 1: calls this scheme as he has always called it. Sure

969
00:47:56,040 --> 00:47:58,600
Speaker 1: there'll be some Mando man sprinkled in. There might even

970
00:47:58,600 --> 00:48:00,480
Speaker 1: be something on third down. Most team to play man

971
00:48:00,560 --> 00:48:05,239
Speaker 1: on third down. But Sauce Gardner is a really effective

972
00:48:05,280 --> 00:48:07,839
Speaker 1: corner in man a man. He can he can. If

973
00:48:07,840 --> 00:48:10,320
Speaker 1: you put him in front of somebody, he can pretty

974
00:48:10,360 --> 00:48:12,960
Speaker 1: much eliminate him. I'm sure you know he'll ask him

975
00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:14,719
Speaker 1: good plays and some bad, and you gotta the other

976
00:48:14,760 --> 00:48:17,000
Speaker 1: guys get paid to they'll have some catches.

977
00:48:17,040 --> 00:48:18,320
Speaker 2: But he can be really effective.

978
00:48:19,640 --> 00:48:24,839
Speaker 1: But when you put him in a scheme that's vision, like,

979
00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:27,320
Speaker 1: there's vision, it's Cover three A guy, I understand.

980
00:48:27,440 --> 00:48:27,920
Speaker 2: I played.

981
00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:30,399
Speaker 1: I played some Cover three. I understand it. Some would

982
00:48:30,440 --> 00:48:32,400
Speaker 1: call me an expert at it. Someone call me an

983
00:48:32,400 --> 00:48:35,000
Speaker 1: expert at zone defense. I could play man a man

984
00:48:35,040 --> 00:48:38,960
Speaker 1: as well, but at zone defense. Vision on the quarterback,

985
00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:40,719
Speaker 1: there aren't many quarterbacks that would look me in the

986
00:48:40,760 --> 00:48:43,640
Speaker 1: eye and throw the ball. And there's a reason for that,

987
00:48:43,840 --> 00:48:46,239
Speaker 1: because I would take it. And so when you got

988
00:48:46,239 --> 00:48:49,440
Speaker 1: a guy like Sauce Gardner who's a phenomenal man a

989
00:48:49,480 --> 00:48:52,280
Speaker 1: man corner, and you put him in a zone defense,

990
00:48:52,320 --> 00:48:55,479
Speaker 1: and you put him in front of guys like you're like, oh,

991
00:48:55,600 --> 00:48:59,960
Speaker 1: his matchup's Drake London. But but then Kyle Pitts they staggered,

992
00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:02,840
Speaker 1: and Kyle Pitts gets up first and runs a post

993
00:49:02,840 --> 00:49:07,160
Speaker 1: to pull Sauce Gardner out of there, and then you

994
00:49:07,239 --> 00:49:09,719
Speaker 1: got a match up with Drake London on a linebacker.

995
00:49:10,800 --> 00:49:13,799
Speaker 1: Then you traded two first round picks for a guy

996
00:49:13,840 --> 00:49:16,120
Speaker 1: who can't impact the plays in the way you want

997
00:49:16,200 --> 00:49:20,760
Speaker 1: him to. There's nothing Sauce does wrong right there. He's covering,

998
00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:23,200
Speaker 1: he's playing the scheme, he's doing what he's supposed to do,

999
00:49:23,880 --> 00:49:27,279
Speaker 1: but he can't cover the guy that you're wanting him

1000
00:49:27,280 --> 00:49:31,680
Speaker 1: to cover because schimmatically, his responsibility changes and the offense

1001
00:49:31,800 --> 00:49:36,000
Speaker 1: can dictate. So if you're getting a guy like that,

1002
00:49:37,239 --> 00:49:39,719
Speaker 1: and the offense can dictate when he covers their best

1003
00:49:39,760 --> 00:49:42,840
Speaker 1: receiver and when he doesn't, it's gonna be tough for

1004
00:49:42,920 --> 00:49:45,439
Speaker 1: him to have the kind of impact that he would

1005
00:49:45,520 --> 00:49:47,480
Speaker 1: need to have to make him worthy of two first

1006
00:49:47,560 --> 00:49:49,480
Speaker 1: round picks being traded. That's what I've been trying to

1007
00:49:49,520 --> 00:49:51,800
Speaker 1: say to these fans, not that oh Man, Sauce Gardner

1008
00:49:51,880 --> 00:49:53,800
Speaker 1: isn't a good play. Sous Gardlander is a great player,

1009
00:49:54,560 --> 00:49:56,040
Speaker 1: but in order for him to have the kind of

1010
00:49:56,120 --> 00:49:58,600
Speaker 1: impact that he needs to have, the scheme has to change.

1011
00:49:58,719 --> 00:50:01,640
Speaker 1: And they're like, well, we we have another good quarter

1012
00:50:03,160 --> 00:50:06,479
Speaker 1: Tarvarius Ward, no question you're doing. Tarvaris can definitely play man,

1013
00:50:07,239 --> 00:50:11,360
Speaker 1: but can the safeties, can the linebackers. That's when it

1014
00:50:11,400 --> 00:50:14,520
Speaker 1: gets crazy. Henchel like, this team has been built for

1015
00:50:14,560 --> 00:50:17,920
Speaker 1: a while, and if you're Tom Ballard's been building this

1016
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:20,320
Speaker 1: for a while, he hasn't been building a man to

1017
00:50:20,400 --> 00:50:24,319
Speaker 1: man defense. You got good pass wrestlers, but these are

1018
00:50:24,360 --> 00:50:27,360
Speaker 1: good guys in zone coverage, smart players. Kenny Moore is

1019
00:50:27,360 --> 00:50:29,080
Speaker 1: a smart player. He can play man to man, but

1020
00:50:29,120 --> 00:50:31,759
Speaker 1: he makes a ton of plays in zone and to

1021
00:50:31,880 --> 00:50:34,200
Speaker 1: change the entire scheme and think, oh, it's gonna just

1022
00:50:34,440 --> 00:50:36,879
Speaker 1: work because if one guy it's gonna it's not how

1023
00:50:36,880 --> 00:50:40,480
Speaker 1: it's gonna happen. So I say all that to say

1024
00:50:40,680 --> 00:50:43,400
Speaker 1: this is a really good team with or without Sauce Gardner.

1025
00:50:43,719 --> 00:50:45,759
Speaker 1: But in order for him to be most effective, you

1026
00:50:45,880 --> 00:50:47,680
Speaker 1: have to you have to isolate and you have to

1027
00:50:47,680 --> 00:50:49,439
Speaker 1: give him that matchup and they're gonna have to draw

1028
00:50:49,480 --> 00:50:52,200
Speaker 1: up some schemes and maybe bastardize this scheme a little

1029
00:50:52,200 --> 00:50:54,400
Speaker 1: bit to allow him to thrive in the way he

1030
00:50:54,440 --> 00:50:56,719
Speaker 1: needs to thrive, to be impactful in the way he

1031
00:50:56,800 --> 00:50:59,240
Speaker 1: can be. But that's my two cents.

1032
00:50:59,280 --> 00:51:01,080
Speaker 2: What do I know. I didn't play this game at

1033
00:51:01,080 --> 00:51:03,279
Speaker 2: a high level, Mitchell. I'm just here so I don't

1034
00:51:03,280 --> 00:51:03,719
Speaker 2: get fined.

1035
00:51:05,239 --> 00:51:07,640
Speaker 3: Richard, you know a lot more than people give you credit.

1036
00:51:07,920 --> 00:51:11,400
Speaker 3: And there's no question about it. Indianapoli's secondary though. I

1037
00:51:11,400 --> 00:51:15,040
Speaker 3: mean you touched on on Travarius Ward and Kenny Moore

1038
00:51:15,040 --> 00:51:17,279
Speaker 3: and obviously saw us, but they also got buying them,

1039
00:51:17,280 --> 00:51:19,560
Speaker 3: you know who they scooped up in free agency. So

1040
00:51:20,000 --> 00:51:21,280
Speaker 3: this team's loaded with talent.

1041
00:51:22,239 --> 00:51:24,160
Speaker 2: Bidam is a king of these celebrations.

1042
00:51:24,160 --> 00:51:27,160
Speaker 3: But Bynum's nasty. I mean, they got a really good

1043
00:51:27,200 --> 00:51:30,640
Speaker 3: defensive Backcore. I like the Colts a lot. I can

1044
00:51:31,040 --> 00:51:33,640
Speaker 3: now see why they're eight and two. I was confused,

1045
00:51:33,800 --> 00:51:36,680
Speaker 3: you know, six seven weeks in, Richard, I was very confused.

1046
00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:38,759
Speaker 3: But now I'm seeing the light with Indy and they

1047
00:51:38,800 --> 00:51:41,800
Speaker 3: go over overseas and take care of business against Atlanta,

1048
00:51:41,840 --> 00:51:45,200
Speaker 3: who desperately needs a win, and you know you gotta

1049
00:51:45,239 --> 00:51:47,279
Speaker 3: tip your cap to them. But next week's the game.

1050
00:51:47,600 --> 00:51:51,840
Speaker 3: Next week we see whether they truly are AFC favorites,

1051
00:51:51,840 --> 00:51:53,400
Speaker 3: because I tell you what, Richard, if they beat the

1052
00:51:53,480 --> 00:51:56,440
Speaker 3: Kansas City Chiefs, I think it might be time to

1053
00:51:56,480 --> 00:51:57,040
Speaker 3: pencil them.

1054
00:51:57,160 --> 00:51:57,480
Speaker 2: Just that.

1055
00:51:58,360 --> 00:52:00,440
Speaker 3: Let's get into some other games. We're gonna do a

1056
00:52:00,480 --> 00:52:02,719
Speaker 3: little two minute drill here here and hit some other

1057
00:52:02,760 --> 00:52:05,920
Speaker 3: games that the Baltimore Ravens were on the road against

1058
00:52:05,920 --> 00:52:09,680
Speaker 3: the Minnesota Vikings, who went into Detroit and took care

1059
00:52:09,719 --> 00:52:12,640
Speaker 3: of my Detroit Lions last week. The Baltimore Ravens are

1060
00:52:12,680 --> 00:52:16,480
Speaker 3: now getting healthy Lamar Jackson's back, but that offense did

1061
00:52:16,520 --> 00:52:19,759
Speaker 3: not look like it normally looks very stagnant, especially in

1062
00:52:19,800 --> 00:52:22,120
Speaker 3: that first half. You know, we saw four field goals

1063
00:52:22,200 --> 00:52:24,680
Speaker 3: kicked early and it was one of these games that

1064
00:52:25,280 --> 00:52:27,960
Speaker 3: you know, you could easily have seen the Baltimore Ravens losing,

1065
00:52:27,960 --> 00:52:29,600
Speaker 3: but they end up squeaking out a win. They're now

1066
00:52:29,760 --> 00:52:33,400
Speaker 3: four and five. You know, the Steelers keep winning. Do

1067
00:52:33,440 --> 00:52:35,480
Speaker 3: you see a world I know we've talked about a

1068
00:52:35,600 --> 00:52:37,640
Speaker 3: number of times this year, but is it your belief

1069
00:52:37,719 --> 00:52:40,320
Speaker 3: still that the Baltimore Ravens are gonna win this division?

1070
00:52:42,640 --> 00:52:46,200
Speaker 1: No? I don't know, Mitchell, because they need help and

1071
00:52:46,239 --> 00:52:49,359
Speaker 1: anytime it's a situation where a team needs help, it's unpredictable.

1072
00:52:50,880 --> 00:52:53,759
Speaker 1: I couldn't have predicted the Pittsburgh Steelers beating the Indianapolis

1073
00:52:53,760 --> 00:52:55,520
Speaker 1: Colts in the way they did and the fashion that

1074
00:52:55,600 --> 00:52:57,520
Speaker 1: they did, and the defense playing at the level that

1075
00:52:57,560 --> 00:52:59,439
Speaker 1: it did, because the tape didn't say it they would

1076
00:52:59,440 --> 00:53:02,640
Speaker 1: be playing at the level, but they did. And so

1077
00:53:02,760 --> 00:53:04,520
Speaker 1: are they starting to wake up at the right time

1078
00:53:04,800 --> 00:53:09,719
Speaker 1: and play elite football potentially? So they have the lead

1079
00:53:09,800 --> 00:53:12,960
Speaker 1: right now. Can the Baltimore Ravens like climb back and

1080
00:53:13,000 --> 00:53:15,279
Speaker 1: make the playoffs? I think they can because certain teams

1081
00:53:15,320 --> 00:53:17,840
Speaker 1: are gonna stumble. What are the Chargers gonna do without

1082
00:53:17,840 --> 00:53:20,680
Speaker 1: their two all world tackles. It looks like Joe Alts

1083
00:53:20,680 --> 00:53:24,320
Speaker 1: now out for the season after respraining his ankle. Rashaun

1084
00:53:24,320 --> 00:53:28,120
Speaker 1: Slater was already down, and that offense looks entirely different

1085
00:53:28,160 --> 00:53:31,680
Speaker 1: without Joe alt in the fold, without Omarion Hampton, without

1086
00:53:31,680 --> 00:53:37,319
Speaker 1: without Naji Harris. So can they protect Herbert enough for

1087
00:53:37,440 --> 00:53:40,200
Speaker 1: him to be effective? Can that defense stand up and

1088
00:53:40,440 --> 00:53:44,560
Speaker 1: create enough to plays and turnovers? We'll see tonight, But

1089
00:53:44,960 --> 00:53:47,840
Speaker 1: those are the questions I have to answer because you

1090
00:53:47,920 --> 00:53:52,279
Speaker 1: see teams like the Jacksonville Jaguars. I told y'all, I

1091
00:53:52,320 --> 00:53:54,920
Speaker 1: told y'all, Trevor Lawrence ain't the answer. I told y'all,

1092
00:53:55,000 --> 00:53:58,280
Speaker 1: fifty five million. He was thirteen thirteen for what, thirteen

1093
00:53:58,320 --> 00:54:03,440
Speaker 1: for twenty three interception and he gave as many touchdowns

1094
00:54:03,440 --> 00:54:05,080
Speaker 1: to his team as he did with other team. Mitchell,

1095
00:54:05,080 --> 00:54:06,360
Speaker 1: but that's the story for a different day. We're not

1096
00:54:06,360 --> 00:54:08,040
Speaker 1: gonna waste time on that game. We're not gonna go

1097
00:54:08,120 --> 00:54:11,680
Speaker 1: down that rabbit hole. But Jacksonville fans, just leave me alone, please,

1098
00:54:11,719 --> 00:54:14,640
Speaker 1: thank you. I liked your defense, I liked what they

1099
00:54:14,680 --> 00:54:17,160
Speaker 1: were doing, but we all knew this was an inevitability.

1100
00:54:17,320 --> 00:54:19,840
Speaker 1: Liam Cohen can only save your quarterback for so long.

1101
00:54:20,040 --> 00:54:22,440
Speaker 1: He can only spoon feed him for so long. Eventually,

1102
00:54:22,440 --> 00:54:25,000
Speaker 1: teams are gonna say, hey, let's just start disguise him

1103
00:54:25,200 --> 00:54:27,400
Speaker 1: and not shore our look until after fifteen seconds in

1104
00:54:27,480 --> 00:54:30,160
Speaker 1: the headset goes off and see what Trevor Lawrence can do,

1105
00:54:31,080 --> 00:54:33,920
Speaker 1: because he'll be who he always is. But whatever you

1106
00:54:33,920 --> 00:54:36,480
Speaker 1: guys wanted to find fifty five million, whatever, no tax

1107
00:54:36,760 --> 00:54:37,680
Speaker 1: in Jacksonville.

1108
00:54:37,760 --> 00:54:39,560
Speaker 2: Good for him. His family will be taking care of

1109
00:54:39,560 --> 00:54:41,840
Speaker 2: for a lifetime. I'm sure he'll buy a house in Jacksonville.

1110
00:54:42,120 --> 00:54:45,799
Speaker 1: But If you're talking about who's gonna make the playoffs,

1111
00:54:46,120 --> 00:54:49,400
Speaker 1: that's that's gonna factory in. Do the Houston Texans climb

1112
00:54:49,400 --> 00:54:51,160
Speaker 1: back in it? Them being able to win with their

1113
00:54:51,200 --> 00:54:54,359
Speaker 1: backup quarterback Davis Mills that matters. Can can they buy

1114
00:54:54,440 --> 00:54:57,919
Speaker 1: time for c J. Stroud to come back? And there's

1115
00:54:57,960 --> 00:54:59,839
Speaker 1: a lot of questions that are up in the air,

1116
00:55:00,239 --> 00:55:02,000
Speaker 1: and a lot of things are gonna go one way

1117
00:55:02,120 --> 00:55:05,920
Speaker 1: or the other soon. Are the Buffalo Bill's gonna continue

1118
00:55:05,960 --> 00:55:09,200
Speaker 1: to play well? Are they gonna flounder?

1119
00:55:09,560 --> 00:55:11,080
Speaker 2: Flounder? I don't know, I don't know.

1120
00:55:11,080 --> 00:55:14,520
Speaker 3: Were going to see it with Chelsea. Another surprise is

1121
00:55:14,680 --> 00:55:17,440
Speaker 3: a Chicago Bears team. They're now six and three, but

1122
00:55:17,560 --> 00:55:21,160
Speaker 3: the New York Giants came into Chicago and we're handling

1123
00:55:21,239 --> 00:55:24,040
Speaker 3: the Bears early until Jackson Dart got knocked out with

1124
00:55:24,080 --> 00:55:28,040
Speaker 3: that concussion. Jackson Dart to me, looks like again and

1125
00:55:28,080 --> 00:55:30,880
Speaker 3: I'm gonna stand on my words from earlier. He looks

1126
00:55:30,880 --> 00:55:32,919
Speaker 3: like he should have been the number one pick last year.

1127
00:55:32,960 --> 00:55:35,960
Speaker 3: In my eyes, he has transformed this New York Giants team.

1128
00:55:36,000 --> 00:55:39,000
Speaker 3: He's changed the energy, he's changed the culture of this organization.

1129
00:55:39,040 --> 00:55:41,800
Speaker 3: And only what he was his fifth start of the

1130
00:55:41,880 --> 00:55:44,799
Speaker 3: year or something like that. Unfortunately, he goes down and

1131
00:55:44,880 --> 00:55:47,880
Speaker 3: Russell Wilson comes in and they lose the game. But

1132
00:55:47,920 --> 00:55:50,319
Speaker 3: the Chicago I mean credit to them, you know, down

1133
00:55:50,360 --> 00:55:52,560
Speaker 3: two scores, they come back and they find a way

1134
00:55:52,600 --> 00:55:55,719
Speaker 3: to win. Caleb Williams with the seventeen yeard rushing TV

1135
00:55:55,880 --> 00:55:58,160
Speaker 3: to end the game. The Bears started owing two, Rich

1136
00:55:58,280 --> 00:56:01,680
Speaker 3: got absolutely blown out by my Detroit Lions and ford

1137
00:56:01,719 --> 00:56:06,359
Speaker 3: Field Ben Johnson's coming home party, and they're five and one.

1138
00:56:06,520 --> 00:56:09,439
Speaker 3: Since it's wild, I can't even believe it, but they're

1139
00:56:09,520 --> 00:56:10,960
Speaker 3: six and three now on the season.

1140
00:56:11,040 --> 00:56:11,680
Speaker 2: Remarkable.

1141
00:56:12,800 --> 00:56:14,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're finding a way to win these ugly games

1142
00:56:15,280 --> 00:56:18,359
Speaker 1: and be and and give themselves a chance at the end.

1143
00:56:18,440 --> 00:56:22,080
Speaker 1: That's what good teams do. I'm sure Ben Johnson is like, hey,

1144
00:56:22,120 --> 00:56:25,200
Speaker 1: these are good habits to be learning their defenses, fighting,

1145
00:56:25,239 --> 00:56:28,760
Speaker 1: their offensive fighting. They're always within a score except obviously

1146
00:56:28,800 --> 00:56:32,360
Speaker 1: that blowout, and they're they're always in it at the end,

1147
00:56:32,440 --> 00:56:34,440
Speaker 1: and that says something about your team, like give them

1148
00:56:34,480 --> 00:56:37,000
Speaker 1: a chance. And its growth for Kayleb Williams, his growth,

1149
00:56:37,040 --> 00:56:39,560
Speaker 1: for Ben Johnson and the rest of the Chicago Bears team.

1150
00:56:40,280 --> 00:56:43,200
Speaker 1: They picked up all these new offensive linemen. It takes

1151
00:56:43,200 --> 00:56:45,799
Speaker 1: a while for that to jail and cohesion and all that.

1152
00:56:46,000 --> 00:56:46,640
Speaker 2: Some of these.

1153
00:56:46,440 --> 00:56:49,600
Speaker 1: Offensive lines, like when Detroit's offensive line had been together

1154
00:56:49,640 --> 00:56:53,239
Speaker 1: for a long time with all those really good offensive linemen,

1155
00:56:53,280 --> 00:56:55,319
Speaker 1: they played really good. They ran the ball well, they

1156
00:56:55,360 --> 00:56:58,200
Speaker 1: passed protected well. It's just like Dallas Cowboys a few

1157
00:56:58,280 --> 00:57:00,600
Speaker 1: years ago when they had Tyron Smith and they had

1158
00:57:00,680 --> 00:57:03,600
Speaker 1: all these all pros, and it's like, oh man, they've

1159
00:57:03,600 --> 00:57:07,040
Speaker 1: played together for a while, it's gonna look good. Roma

1160
00:57:07,120 --> 00:57:09,080
Speaker 1: Dounza starting to find his rhythm.

1161
00:57:09,320 --> 00:57:11,280
Speaker 2: Uh. Six receptions for eighty six yards.

1162
00:57:11,320 --> 00:57:13,920
Speaker 1: They spent a lot of draft capital on the offense

1163
00:57:13,960 --> 00:57:17,400
Speaker 1: and their defense playing well enough. But before Jackson Dart

1164
00:57:17,440 --> 00:57:19,720
Speaker 1: went out with the concussion, they were in control of

1165
00:57:19,760 --> 00:57:22,680
Speaker 1: this game. The Giants were in control, total control of

1166
00:57:22,720 --> 00:57:27,840
Speaker 1: this game. He goes out, they insert Russell Wilson, he

1167
00:57:27,920 --> 00:57:31,520
Speaker 1: goes three for seven for forty five yards, you know,

1168
00:57:31,560 --> 00:57:33,560
Speaker 1: and it just the offense kind of sputtered, and the

1169
00:57:33,680 --> 00:57:36,800
Speaker 1: offense sputtered, And there was a play in that game,

1170
00:57:38,080 --> 00:57:41,560
Speaker 1: and I remember Greg Olsen uh making a point to

1171
00:57:41,640 --> 00:57:43,520
Speaker 1: say something about it, and that you guys are probably

1172
00:57:43,560 --> 00:57:45,760
Speaker 1: wondering how I watch all these games at the same time.

1173
00:57:45,920 --> 00:57:51,720
Speaker 1: I worked hard, but it was it was fourth and

1174
00:57:51,800 --> 00:57:54,120
Speaker 1: goal at the one, and they were they were going

1175
00:57:54,200 --> 00:57:56,000
Speaker 1: to kick a field goal and there was a penalty

1176
00:57:56,440 --> 00:58:00,480
Speaker 1: on the field goal and the Giants to climbed it.

1177
00:58:01,160 --> 00:58:05,600
Speaker 1: And Olsen said, if if they lose this game, they're

1178
00:58:05,600 --> 00:58:07,800
Speaker 1: gonna look back at this play as the reason as

1179
00:58:07,920 --> 00:58:10,840
Speaker 1: a big changing point. And they lose by four points,

1180
00:58:11,120 --> 00:58:13,920
Speaker 1: and that was a four point swing. They were at

1181
00:58:13,960 --> 00:58:19,000
Speaker 1: the half yard line, fourth and goal, up seven, up seven,

1182
00:58:19,080 --> 00:58:20,880
Speaker 1: and they didn't go for it. They didn't go for

1183
00:58:20,920 --> 00:58:21,360
Speaker 1: the score.

1184
00:58:21,480 --> 00:58:23,200
Speaker 2: Half a yard. You couldn't get half a yard.

1185
00:58:23,240 --> 00:58:26,600
Speaker 1: And you know if Jackson Dart was an and and

1186
00:58:26,680 --> 00:58:29,520
Speaker 1: at the helm, they would have went. And so it's

1187
00:58:29,520 --> 00:58:32,320
Speaker 1: a bit on Day Bowl because you change your play

1188
00:58:32,360 --> 00:58:34,960
Speaker 1: calling based on who's that quarterback. A half yard is

1189
00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:37,480
Speaker 1: a half yard is a half yard. You gotta believe

1190
00:58:37,520 --> 00:58:39,640
Speaker 1: you can get it regardless of who's that quarterback. And

1191
00:58:39,760 --> 00:58:42,160
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson could QB sneak or you could turn around

1192
00:58:42,160 --> 00:58:45,600
Speaker 1: and hand the ball off to Tyrone Tracy, regardless, you

1193
00:58:45,680 --> 00:58:48,160
Speaker 1: got to be able to get a half yard. And

1194
00:58:48,200 --> 00:58:53,560
Speaker 1: I think that's the issue right now. But if you're

1195
00:58:53,560 --> 00:58:57,800
Speaker 1: a Giants fan, you appreciate understanding you have a building

1196
00:58:57,880 --> 00:59:02,080
Speaker 1: block and Jackson, Dart Scattabu, you got some exciting pieces.

1197
00:59:02,480 --> 00:59:06,960
Speaker 1: Slayton had a good game in this game. Your defensive

1198
00:59:07,000 --> 00:59:10,280
Speaker 1: line is all world. Uh, you know your secondary is

1199
00:59:10,320 --> 00:59:12,720
Speaker 1: starting to find play better. I'm sure you'll draft more

1200
00:59:12,760 --> 00:59:14,440
Speaker 1: and pick up in free agency, but there are some

1201
00:59:14,480 --> 00:59:16,680
Speaker 1: building blocks. But you want to be picking high in

1202
00:59:16,680 --> 00:59:18,320
Speaker 1: the draft. You don't want to have a bad season

1203
00:59:18,760 --> 00:59:21,040
Speaker 1: and then beat mid bad. You don't want to have

1204
00:59:21,040 --> 00:59:23,560
Speaker 1: a bad season and then be picking the eleven. Like

1205
00:59:23,760 --> 00:59:28,200
Speaker 1: if you're gonna have a bad season, show promise and

1206
00:59:28,240 --> 00:59:30,560
Speaker 1: then pick top three. Show that we could have won

1207
00:59:30,600 --> 00:59:32,000
Speaker 1: all these games. They could have won all these games.

1208
00:59:32,040 --> 00:59:33,560
Speaker 1: It was just like Dimmer that year. They were like

1209
00:59:33,920 --> 00:59:36,080
Speaker 1: one in six and one score games and they still

1210
00:59:36,080 --> 00:59:36,800
Speaker 1: went to the playoffs.

1211
00:59:36,800 --> 00:59:38,040
Speaker 2: They were ten and seven. They could have been for

1212
00:59:38,120 --> 00:59:43,040
Speaker 2: them dame here perfseason. But when you lose these games.

1213
00:59:42,920 --> 00:59:45,880
Speaker 1: And you show competitive figure, you show that it's gonna

1214
00:59:45,920 --> 00:59:48,320
Speaker 1: still build winning habits. I think they have guys that

1215
00:59:48,400 --> 00:59:50,440
Speaker 1: believe this team can be a really good team, and

1216
00:59:50,560 --> 00:59:52,320
Speaker 1: a few plays here and there, they could have won

1217
00:59:52,320 --> 00:59:54,880
Speaker 1: a lot of these games, and they beat a division opponent,

1218
00:59:54,920 --> 00:59:57,640
Speaker 1: they beat the Eagles when when they were somewhat healthy.

1219
00:59:57,680 --> 00:59:59,080
Speaker 2: But then you get Elik Neighbors.

1220
00:59:59,080 --> 01:00:01,120
Speaker 1: You know, there's so many building blocks, there's so much

1221
01:00:01,160 --> 01:00:04,040
Speaker 1: reason for optimism going forward. And if they can get

1222
01:00:04,080 --> 01:00:08,400
Speaker 1: another high draft pick and make it work, sky's a limit.

1223
01:00:08,400 --> 01:00:10,920
Speaker 1: But it's day Ball gonna be there. We'll see, We'll

1224
01:00:10,920 --> 01:00:11,880
Speaker 1: see what mar does.

1225
01:00:12,320 --> 01:00:14,880
Speaker 3: We'll see. No question about Richard, I ecked those statements.

1226
01:00:14,920 --> 01:00:16,720
Speaker 3: I love New York. I think next year they're going

1227
01:00:16,800 --> 01:00:18,320
Speaker 3: to be a team that people are gonna have their

1228
01:00:18,360 --> 01:00:20,720
Speaker 3: eyes on. I think you know, they're probably gonna be

1229
01:00:20,760 --> 01:00:22,080
Speaker 3: picking top five in this draft.

1230
01:00:22,120 --> 01:00:22,840
Speaker 2: We'll see what they do.

1231
01:00:22,880 --> 01:00:25,200
Speaker 3: But like you said, with Malik Neighbors back and Cam

1232
01:00:25,240 --> 01:00:28,040
Speaker 3: Scattaboo back, I guarantee they run that ball on fourth

1233
01:00:28,120 --> 01:00:29,960
Speaker 3: and one or fourth and a half of a yard

1234
01:00:30,240 --> 01:00:34,240
Speaker 3: if Cam Scataboo's back there, Richard. You know, Jackson Dart

1235
01:00:34,280 --> 01:00:36,080
Speaker 3: is starting to take some criticism for the amount of

1236
01:00:36,160 --> 01:00:38,880
Speaker 3: hits he's taken. Ryan Clark thinks he's taken way too

1237
01:00:38,960 --> 01:00:41,680
Speaker 3: many hits. We saw him in the medical tet. You know,

1238
01:00:41,760 --> 01:00:44,840
Speaker 3: a couple of weeks ago when day Bowl and Scataboo

1239
01:00:44,880 --> 01:00:47,240
Speaker 3: both got fine for going in there and checking on him,

1240
01:00:47,680 --> 01:00:49,520
Speaker 3: and now we see him go out with a big

1241
01:00:49,600 --> 01:00:52,040
Speaker 3: hit he's suffered on a run and resulting in what

1242
01:00:52,480 --> 01:00:55,960
Speaker 3: is assumed to be a concussion. A lot of young

1243
01:00:56,080 --> 01:00:58,600
Speaker 3: quarterbacks seem to go through this process where they think

1244
01:00:58,600 --> 01:01:00,880
Speaker 3: that they just got a run run on and not

1245
01:01:01,000 --> 01:01:04,320
Speaker 3: care about their bodies. But the reality is Jackson Dart,

1246
01:01:04,360 --> 01:01:06,240
Speaker 3: if he wants to help his team, he's got to

1247
01:01:06,240 --> 01:01:10,400
Speaker 3: be available and right now. Yeah, ultimately that hit costs

1248
01:01:10,440 --> 01:01:12,600
Speaker 3: him the game in my eyes. What are your thoughts

1249
01:01:12,600 --> 01:01:15,080
Speaker 3: on the way Jackson Dart is playing his play style?

1250
01:01:15,080 --> 01:01:16,640
Speaker 3: Do you think he needs to tone it down a bit?

1251
01:01:18,040 --> 01:01:20,560
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, the games will teach you the lessons

1252
01:01:20,880 --> 01:01:24,320
Speaker 1: that nobody else can, and so a bought lesson is

1253
01:01:24,360 --> 01:01:25,440
Speaker 1: better than a taught lesson.

1254
01:01:25,720 --> 01:01:29,280
Speaker 2: And he just bought a lesson this game. He learned it.

1255
01:01:29,760 --> 01:01:30,320
Speaker 2: He learned it.

1256
01:01:31,320 --> 01:01:34,160
Speaker 1: Ryan Clark is saying that for a reason, and then

1257
01:01:34,200 --> 01:01:36,439
Speaker 1: the game taught him the lesson. And I'm sure he'll

1258
01:01:36,520 --> 01:01:40,440
Speaker 1: change the way he plays, whether it's sliding early. Do

1259
01:01:40,560 --> 01:01:42,680
Speaker 1: I think he won't run the football anymore? No, that's

1260
01:01:42,680 --> 01:01:44,600
Speaker 1: part of his game. That's part of what makes him

1261
01:01:44,600 --> 01:01:48,200
Speaker 1: attractive today Bowl to draft him, being able to use

1262
01:01:48,240 --> 01:01:50,560
Speaker 1: his legs and make plays with his legs and be

1263
01:01:50,920 --> 01:01:53,320
Speaker 1: dynamic in that way. But I think he's gonna be

1264
01:01:53,360 --> 01:01:55,920
Speaker 1: more aware of Hey, slide when necessary. Hey, when you

1265
01:01:56,000 --> 01:01:58,480
Speaker 1: got enough and you got eight nine yards, that's enough,

1266
01:01:58,600 --> 01:02:00,680
Speaker 1: get down. It's better to have you for the next

1267
01:02:00,680 --> 01:02:03,200
Speaker 1: play than to lose you for the game. When we

1268
01:02:03,360 --> 01:02:05,680
Speaker 1: when we have this game won, we we're in control

1269
01:02:05,680 --> 01:02:09,000
Speaker 1: of this game. You're at the helm, we can easily

1270
01:02:09,000 --> 01:02:11,840
Speaker 1: win this game. And you go down in the whole dynamic,

1271
01:02:11,880 --> 01:02:13,800
Speaker 1: the whole energy of the game, the whole energy of

1272
01:02:13,800 --> 01:02:15,400
Speaker 1: the team shifts immediately.

1273
01:02:16,000 --> 01:02:18,120
Speaker 2: And again I bought lessons better than a tault lesson,

1274
01:02:18,120 --> 01:02:18,680
Speaker 2: and he bought it.

1275
01:02:19,000 --> 01:02:21,040
Speaker 3: Richard, Final final game. I know you don't want to

1276
01:02:21,080 --> 01:02:23,600
Speaker 3: talk about him, Trevor Lawrence. You already, you already said

1277
01:02:23,720 --> 01:02:26,280
Speaker 3: thirteen receptions for twenty eight, one hundred and fifty eight yards.

1278
01:02:26,320 --> 01:02:28,400
Speaker 3: But the matter of the fact of this game is

1279
01:02:28,400 --> 01:02:31,560
Speaker 3: the Houston Texans go into this game under man, without

1280
01:02:31,560 --> 01:02:35,080
Speaker 3: their quarterback C. J. Stroud, down twenty nine to ten

1281
01:02:35,160 --> 01:02:38,280
Speaker 3: going into the fourth quarter, and they scored twenty six

1282
01:02:38,360 --> 01:02:42,480
Speaker 3: unanswered come back and win led by Davis Mills, Stanford

1283
01:02:42,520 --> 01:02:46,800
Speaker 3: alum Stanford Brethren. Richard, the carts. You gotta love it

1284
01:02:46,840 --> 01:02:48,919
Speaker 3: is certain that I mean, talk to me about him,

1285
01:02:49,200 --> 01:02:52,520
Speaker 3: Talk to me about Derek Stingley Junior, a friend of

1286
01:02:52,520 --> 01:02:55,280
Speaker 3: the program, quickly rising to start them.

1287
01:02:55,400 --> 01:02:57,400
Speaker 2: Is one of the best corners in this league.

1288
01:02:57,800 --> 01:03:01,520
Speaker 3: Huge one aheaded interception to win this game. You gotta

1289
01:03:01,560 --> 01:03:03,160
Speaker 3: give it. You gotta tip of your cap to the

1290
01:03:03,160 --> 01:03:06,960
Speaker 3: Houston Texans with this comeback win without their guys CJ.

1291
01:03:07,160 --> 01:03:07,600
Speaker 2: Stroud.

1292
01:03:08,640 --> 01:03:10,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, you gotta give them a lot of credit. A

1293
01:03:10,320 --> 01:03:11,920
Speaker 1: very tough, gritty divisional win.

1294
01:03:12,040 --> 01:03:12,479
Speaker 2: They came.

1295
01:03:12,800 --> 01:03:16,240
Speaker 1: They had a really tough game against the Jacksonville Jaguars

1296
01:03:16,240 --> 01:03:18,680
Speaker 1: that could have went either way. Earlier in the season.

1297
01:03:18,720 --> 01:03:21,080
Speaker 1: They weren't able to score thirty six points in that game.

1298
01:03:21,120 --> 01:03:24,480
Speaker 1: I think that game ended seventeen to thirteen or something

1299
01:03:24,560 --> 01:03:27,560
Speaker 1: like that. The Jazz were able to pull it all.

1300
01:03:28,160 --> 01:03:31,760
Speaker 1: They got some critical turnovers and usually this Houston Texans

1301
01:03:31,840 --> 01:03:33,880
Speaker 1: defense is much stingier than this.

1302
01:03:34,160 --> 01:03:36,040
Speaker 2: But give Derek Stingley a ton of credit.

1303
01:03:36,120 --> 01:03:38,320
Speaker 1: That was one of the best plays I've ever seen

1304
01:03:38,360 --> 01:03:41,400
Speaker 1: a dB A corner make a one handed interception. He's

1305
01:03:41,440 --> 01:03:44,320
Speaker 1: been playing as what looks like the top corner in

1306
01:03:44,360 --> 01:03:46,440
Speaker 1: the National Football League, but you can't forget about the

1307
01:03:46,440 --> 01:03:48,720
Speaker 1: defensive player out there of the year out there in

1308
01:03:48,760 --> 01:03:51,120
Speaker 1: Denver and Pat sertain he's on the shelf right now,

1309
01:03:51,240 --> 01:03:53,320
Speaker 1: but he's always got his name in that hat. But

1310
01:03:53,440 --> 01:03:57,920
Speaker 1: right now, give Derek Stingley all the credit in respect

1311
01:03:58,000 --> 01:04:00,840
Speaker 1: he deserves. That was an incredible play and he spark

1312
01:04:01,040 --> 01:04:04,000
Speaker 1: this comeback win that they had against the division opponent.

1313
01:04:04,320 --> 01:04:07,000
Speaker 1: But as always I talk about Trevor Lawnce. You couldn't

1314
01:04:07,000 --> 01:04:08,960
Speaker 1: tell who the fifty five million dollar quarterback was in

1315
01:04:09,000 --> 01:04:11,840
Speaker 1: this game because some pboby should probably shoudn't be getting

1316
01:04:11,880 --> 01:04:14,360
Speaker 1: fifty five million. But you know who played better? Did

1317
01:04:14,400 --> 01:04:16,560
Speaker 1: he get out played by Davis Mills? Some would say

1318
01:04:16,560 --> 01:04:18,680
Speaker 1: that I would say that, But who am I? I'm

1319
01:04:18,720 --> 01:04:23,480
Speaker 1: just a humble servant. Again, I don't think he's the answer.

1320
01:04:23,480 --> 01:04:27,440
Speaker 1: In Jacksonville, I think they're they're squandering a really good defense.

1321
01:04:27,760 --> 01:04:31,000
Speaker 1: And you know, now Jacksonville's attacked me for a center.

1322
01:04:31,080 --> 01:04:33,800
Speaker 1: Defense is good because they gave up twenty six unanswered. Well,

1323
01:04:34,080 --> 01:04:36,840
Speaker 1: pick pick your poison, Jacksonville fans. I really don't care

1324
01:04:36,880 --> 01:04:40,080
Speaker 1: either way. But you lost this game to the Houston Texas.

1325
01:04:40,080 --> 01:04:43,800
Speaker 1: You're five and four. Now it looks like again I

1326
01:04:43,840 --> 01:04:46,600
Speaker 1: think I think there's gonna be a conversation about bringing

1327
01:04:46,640 --> 01:04:49,200
Speaker 1: mac Jones back next year, like do they want to

1328
01:04:49,200 --> 01:04:52,280
Speaker 1: make that trade? Look, because because mac Jones was playing

1329
01:04:52,320 --> 01:04:55,120
Speaker 1: comparable football, if not better football than Trevor Laws with

1330
01:04:55,240 --> 01:04:58,560
Speaker 1: this same cast of character, So do they look at

1331
01:04:58,600 --> 01:04:59,280
Speaker 1: that as an option?

1332
01:04:59,360 --> 01:05:04,120
Speaker 2: Will he be different with with Liam Cohen? Who knows?

1333
01:05:04,520 --> 01:05:07,320
Speaker 1: But I just don't see the growth that you want

1334
01:05:07,360 --> 01:05:09,600
Speaker 1: to see from from a quarterback making the kind of money.

1335
01:05:09,600 --> 01:05:09,920
Speaker 2: And I don't know.

1336
01:05:09,960 --> 01:05:12,480
Speaker 1: People are like, you're always talking about money because it matters,

1337
01:05:12,840 --> 01:05:15,800
Speaker 1: because it matters, Like if you're playing these kind of

1338
01:05:15,800 --> 01:05:17,400
Speaker 1: guys this kind of money, it comes with this kind

1339
01:05:17,400 --> 01:05:20,160
Speaker 1: of criticism. You don't get if I'm getting paid top

1340
01:05:20,200 --> 01:05:23,280
Speaker 1: corner back money and I'm playing average, the criticism I

1341
01:05:23,280 --> 01:05:27,360
Speaker 1: would expect. Every top guy that's getting top money is

1342
01:05:27,360 --> 01:05:30,120
Speaker 1: getting top criticism too. You don't get top money and

1343
01:05:30,120 --> 01:05:31,960
Speaker 1: then be like, oh, we're gonna treat him like he's

1344
01:05:31,960 --> 01:05:33,840
Speaker 1: a rookie quarterback and give them the benefit of doubt.

1345
01:05:33,880 --> 01:05:36,200
Speaker 2: No, fifty five million dollars, you know who else is

1346
01:05:36,200 --> 01:05:39,680
Speaker 2: making that? Burrow? You know who's making less than that.

1347
01:05:39,800 --> 01:05:42,600
Speaker 1: I think Lamar's making less than that, Like I think

1348
01:05:42,720 --> 01:05:45,680
Speaker 1: Mahomes is making less than that. Josh Allen might be

1349
01:05:45,720 --> 01:05:47,760
Speaker 1: making less than that or right on par So, if

1350
01:05:47,760 --> 01:05:50,560
Speaker 1: you're if you're in those conversations financially with those guys

1351
01:05:50,560 --> 01:05:52,280
Speaker 1: and I don't care how the money works.

1352
01:05:52,240 --> 01:05:53,600
Speaker 2: Then the criticism is gonna come.

1353
01:05:53,760 --> 01:05:57,200
Speaker 1: You expect more, You expect a higher level of play

1354
01:05:57,200 --> 01:05:59,479
Speaker 1: from your quarterback, and definitely not the kind of play

1355
01:05:59,480 --> 01:06:01,920
Speaker 1: that ended the game and Rankings returns at fumble for

1356
01:06:01,960 --> 01:06:04,560
Speaker 1: a touchdown and ends this game in totality. I know

1357
01:06:04,560 --> 01:06:06,600
Speaker 1: you're trying to make a play in this game, You're

1358
01:06:06,600 --> 01:06:10,120
Speaker 1: trying to give your team a chance, but a force fumble,

1359
01:06:10,160 --> 01:06:12,720
Speaker 1: a fumble into the defensive hands that leads to a

1360
01:06:12,720 --> 01:06:15,240
Speaker 1: touchdown isn't the kind of play you need. Trevor Lywnch

1361
01:06:15,320 --> 01:06:17,640
Speaker 1: was sacked five times in the game, so again, the

1362
01:06:17,720 --> 01:06:20,440
Speaker 1: offensive line is an issue, no question about that. But

1363
01:06:20,640 --> 01:06:24,360
Speaker 1: congratulations City Houston Texans and Derek Stingley on a win.

1364
01:06:24,440 --> 01:06:28,760
Speaker 1: They're gonna climb themselves back into conversations about a playoff berth.

1365
01:06:29,560 --> 01:06:30,360
Speaker 3: And they deserve it.

1366
01:06:31,280 --> 01:06:34,160
Speaker 1: All odds and lines come from our partners at Hard

1367
01:06:34,240 --> 01:06:37,320
Speaker 1: Rock Bet. We've got the Eagles at the Packers on

1368
01:06:37,400 --> 01:06:40,840
Speaker 1: Monday Night Football tomorrow. Hard rock Bet has the Packers

1369
01:06:41,200 --> 01:06:46,360
Speaker 1: as a one point spread in this game. I think

1370
01:06:46,400 --> 01:06:48,840
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a great game. We know how it

1371
01:06:48,840 --> 01:06:51,000
Speaker 1: went last year in the playoffs. These teams are very

1372
01:06:51,000 --> 01:06:53,280
Speaker 1: familiar with each other because of playoff game. You play

1373
01:06:53,520 --> 01:06:55,880
Speaker 1: in a playoff game against somebody, you study them to

1374
01:06:55,920 --> 01:06:57,720
Speaker 1: a team, you know what they do well, what they

1375
01:06:57,720 --> 01:07:00,320
Speaker 1: don't do well. And these teams are a little bit different,

1376
01:07:00,400 --> 01:07:02,960
Speaker 1: but foundationally they're the same in a lot of respects

1377
01:07:03,040 --> 01:07:06,120
Speaker 1: then as they were in that playoff game. I expect

1378
01:07:06,120 --> 01:07:08,479
Speaker 1: Big Fangio to have a great plan for Jordan Love.

1379
01:07:08,720 --> 01:07:11,440
Speaker 1: I expect Matt Lafloor to have a great plan for

1380
01:07:11,480 --> 01:07:14,240
Speaker 1: this uh big Fangio coach defense.

1381
01:07:15,720 --> 01:07:18,600
Speaker 2: We'll see what would aj Brown and company.

1382
01:07:18,240 --> 01:07:21,600
Speaker 1: Do against this this pass rush, Lane Johnson and all

1383
01:07:21,600 --> 01:07:25,240
Speaker 1: those guys against this this vaunted pass rush from the

1384
01:07:25,240 --> 01:07:28,240
Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers. Mitchell, this is gonna be a fun one.

1385
01:07:28,280 --> 01:07:31,080
Speaker 3: No question about it. And Richard, I'm really excited to see,

1386
01:07:31,560 --> 01:07:34,880
Speaker 3: you know how the philadelph Fiegals respond against a big

1387
01:07:34,880 --> 01:07:37,000
Speaker 3: time opponent in this Green Day Packers. They're gonna lean

1388
01:07:37,080 --> 01:07:39,480
Speaker 3: on their passing game. I feel like I got a

1389
01:07:39,520 --> 01:07:42,280
Speaker 3: little parlay brewed up for you. I think that Vonte

1390
01:07:42,360 --> 01:07:45,240
Speaker 3: Smith is a good option as at any time touchdown score.

1391
01:07:45,520 --> 01:07:47,680
Speaker 3: He's had a big year. And then I'll be very

1392
01:07:47,680 --> 01:07:51,280
Speaker 3: curious to see how the Packers line up offensively without

1393
01:07:51,320 --> 01:07:54,480
Speaker 3: their main weapon, their safety net, Tucker Craft. I think

1394
01:07:54,480 --> 01:07:57,280
Speaker 3: they're gonna have to lean on their bellcow Josh Jacobs,

1395
01:07:57,680 --> 01:07:59,840
Speaker 3: and I think he's gonna be the guy to get

1396
01:07:59,880 --> 01:08:01,960
Speaker 3: in the end zone first this game. I'm gonna lean

1397
01:08:02,000 --> 01:08:04,000
Speaker 3: on him as my first touchdown score of the game.

1398
01:08:04,960 --> 01:08:06,600
Speaker 1: I think that could be a good one, Mitchell, that

1399
01:08:06,960 --> 01:08:08,720
Speaker 1: might be a good parlay. I might have to follow

1400
01:08:08,760 --> 01:08:13,120
Speaker 1: you up, brother well Richard. This concludes our Week ten recap.

1401
01:08:13,160 --> 01:08:15,040
Speaker 1: It's crazy to think we're already is it? Is it

1402
01:08:15,120 --> 01:08:18,320
Speaker 1: really week ten? We're already past the midway point of

1403
01:08:18,360 --> 01:08:21,920
Speaker 1: this season. It's been a great season. There's a lot

1404
01:08:21,920 --> 01:08:23,000
Speaker 1: of parody this year.

1405
01:08:23,320 --> 01:08:26,479
Speaker 3: I think that's my one big takeaway from past the

1406
01:08:26,520 --> 01:08:28,640
Speaker 3: midway point is there's a lot of parody in the

1407
01:08:28,720 --> 01:08:32,920
Speaker 3: NFL in both conferences, and I'm personally really excited to

1408
01:08:32,920 --> 01:08:35,080
Speaker 3: see how it all unfolds in the last eight weeks

1409
01:08:35,080 --> 01:08:37,639
Speaker 3: of the season. Richard, it's been a heck of time.

1410
01:08:37,640 --> 01:08:39,320
Speaker 3: I will let you sign us off, my friend.

1411

1417

Speaker 1: a better day one of these days. Hopefully they can
