1
00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:03,000
Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.

2
00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:07,680
Speaker 2: Well, it is a brand new year for us, our

3
00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:13,119
Speaker 2: first foray into twenty twenty four here on Fox Football Sunday.

4
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:17,280
Speaker 2: Brand new year, but for one coach, same old story.

5
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:20,360
Speaker 2: And we'll tell you which coach that is in just

6
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:22,280
Speaker 2: a moment. But the first thing I need to do

7
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:25,120
Speaker 2: is not only wish a happy new year, but say

8
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 2: a very very hearty hello to a voice that I

9
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:30,760
Speaker 2: haven't had the chance to talk to you in quite

10
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 2: a while, and that is the great Carry Rhodes.

11
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 1: How you been my.

12
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 3: Man, Mark, It's been a pleasure. It's a pleasure to

13
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 3: be here, man, be with you. I was selling Dan

14
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 3: before the show started. It's been a while since I've

15
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 3: talked to Mark, so I'm excited.

16
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 2: It has been a while. But old friends are gonna

17
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:49,559
Speaker 2: jump right in together. I have no doubt because I

18
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 2: want to get this off of my chest right away.

19
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 1: I've never understood in.

20
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 2: The world of professional sports carry and you played, so

21
00:00:56,920 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 2: you tell me. I am all for sports meanship. Ye,

22
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 2: I'm all for doing the right thing. But my god,

23
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 2: if you want the other team to stop playing, then

24
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:13,040
Speaker 2: you have to also. That's the way I view it.

25
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 2: I've got three kids in this house. I've been at

26
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:19,919
Speaker 2: youth sporting events all weekend long, and if the scorer

27
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 2: is being run up at a youth sporting event, that's

28
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 2: a different conversation. But when millions of dollars are being

29
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 2: made by the players and coaches all over the field,

30
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:34,039
Speaker 2: I have the hardest time feeling for someone because their

31
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,960
Speaker 2: feelings got hurt because the other team.

32
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:37,839
Speaker 1: Did too good.

33
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 2: I mean, could Arthur Smith, if he wants to get

34
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 2: fired this badly, just ask, I mean, this is a

35
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 2: terrible look, a terrible look. Then if you don't know

36
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 2: what I'm talking about, Falcons and Saints today, Arthur Smith

37
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 2: has already been the most frustrating coach to watch I

38
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 2: think all year long, just by virtue of what he's done.

39
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 2: Bejon Robinson's fantasy owners for crying out loud, but outside

40
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 2: of that, to finish the season this way, where you

41
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:11,359
Speaker 2: go and scream at an opposing coach because you wanted

42
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 2: to lose forty one to seventeen instead of forty eight seventeen,

43
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, Carrie, I do not understand this in professional sports.

44
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 3: You know what it's I'm with you. I'm with you

45
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 3: on this to be honest. I mean, you gotta go

46
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 3: out there and get stops and play well and execute

47
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 3: on your end. And if you don't, then yeah, what

48
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 3: can happen is you get B forty eight to seventeen.

49
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,919
Speaker 3: And so I mean, obviously there's we're in the season

50
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:38,239
Speaker 3: now where players are trying to reach incentives you got.

51
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 3: You know, you're trying to take care of long, long

52
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 3: tenured guys and get them touchdowns and all all the

53
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 3: things that you know, field you want to have a

54
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 3: feel good story for yourself going into the offseason into

55
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 3: the new year. So if you can't stop them, you

56
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 3: get a chance to score. Score. The sports the sportsmanship thing,

57
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 3: I think that's overrated, and it's been one of those

58
00:02:55,880 --> 00:03:00,359
Speaker 3: things where it's it's longwithstanding you just have this like, oh,

59
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 3: it's annoying, we don't do this anymore. I think that's past.

60
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 3: Say now and now you got to go out there

61
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:05,919
Speaker 3: and get stops and play football.

62
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:10,400

68
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 2: This may sound milk and cookies to some people listening

69
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,640
Speaker 2: to us, but I vowed a long time ago not

70
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:30,080
Speaker 2: to use these microphones to get people fired. It's just

71
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 2: not my position. I don't know what's going on inside

72
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 2: these buildings. I don't know who's got the locker room

73
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 2: and who doesn't have the locker room, And so for me,

74
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 2: I don't feel comfortable coming on and saying this person

75
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 2: should be fired up unless we're talking about a really,

76
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 2: really egregious type of a situation.

77
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 1: So I'm not an expert on Atlanta Falcons.

78
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 2: Football, but I thought all year long that moves made

79
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 2: by Arthur Smith were completely headscratching. You've obviously got a

80
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 2: team that is still in some measure of transition. They

81
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 2: don't have the answer at quarterback, so they're going to

82
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 2: be on the search for that in this offseason. And

83
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 2: I'm just telling you what it feels like to me.

84
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 2: It feels like they're going to be searching for a

85
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 2: head coach today and today did not help his case.

86
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,039
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think that's probably why he was so

87
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 3: upset at the end, right, I mean, that's that pours

88
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 3: into what's what you saw at the end of the game.

89
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:30,839
Speaker 3: So you know, his he knows he's fighting for his life.

90
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 3: He knows he's fighting for his survival there in Atlanta.

91
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 3: And so you know, if you don't get the quarterback

92
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 3: and you miss on that position, you're going to be

93
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,040
Speaker 3: at a disadvantage. And you know, we can take it

94
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 3: all the way back to the you know, the preseason

95
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 3: and having a chance to bring in a guy like

96
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:45,839
Speaker 3: Lamar right. I mean, you know, they came out and

97
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:48,919
Speaker 3: we're one of the first teams that said we weren't interested.

98
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 3: But your quarterback position is the position that is the

99
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 3: least effective in the in the least stable on that

100
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 3: on that team. So the fact that they didn't go

101
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 3: out and make that happen for them, think was you know,

102
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 3: I guess problem number one. But then you get into

103
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:05,480
Speaker 3: the season. You know, Ritter doesn't pan out. You have

104
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 3: Heineke who played okay in certain spots but couldn't stay healthy.

105
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 3: I think that's the main reason for their downfall. The

106
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 3: defense played well. You know Arthur Smith as a play caller,

107
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 3: I mean he obviously didn't do do enough or do

108
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,159
Speaker 3: well enough. So for him to be in that position

109
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 3: and for that team to you know again, to have

110
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 3: all the talent they have and miss the playoffs. It's

111
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:25,480
Speaker 3: not a good look.

112
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:30,160
Speaker 2: Speaking of what Arthur Smith is thinking and and and

113
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 2: what he's saying, we actually have his comments after the game,

114
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:39,359
Speaker 2: after his very clear meeting with Dennis Smith of the

115
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,920
Speaker 2: of the Saints at midfield, where it was quick, it

116
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,480
Speaker 2: was terse, it was screaming. If you can read lips,

117
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 2: there was a bs in there and and and that

118
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 2: was that. But then after the game and in the

119
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 2: locker room, this is what Arthur Smith had to say.

120
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 1: They made the player certainly, the second half got out

121
00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 1: of hand. You can do whatever you want. I just

122
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 1: gave him my opinion about it.

123
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 3: But it doesn't take away the fact that they they

124
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 3: beat us in that second half.

125
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 1: They took advantage of our our turnovers, they hit some shots.

126
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:11,719
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know, Carrie.

127
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 2: Again, when I look at the level that we're playing at,

128
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 2: I actually don't agree with something he says there that

129
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,839
Speaker 2: you can you can have your opinion about it.

130
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 1: This is one of those rare cases.

131
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 2: And you know, look, everybody's allowed to have their opinion,

132
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 2: but I don't think there are two opinions to be

133
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:30,480
Speaker 2: had here.

134
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 1: This, This is the n f L.

135
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 2: I like, I can't believe that we even still have

136
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 2: these conversations, the idea that somebody at the you know,

137
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 2: running up the score. You can talk about this. I

138
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 2: guess at college football. You know there there are there

139
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 2: are varying levels, there are varying divisions. When Alabama plays

140
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 2: the Citadel. We're not talking about a fair playing field.

141
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:03,279
Speaker 2: But here in the NFL, more so than any professional

142
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 2: league in the world, where there is a hard salary

143
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 2: cap and revenue sharing and TV dollars, everybody, if Green Bay,

144
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 2: Wisconsin can compete with Los Angeles and New York, then

145
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 2: there are zero excuses and there's zero room for you

146
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 2: to come out and give me the wham wham they

147
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 2: kept playing when we were getting our butts kicked for

148
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 2: crowd out loud. The game was tied at halftime. The

149
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 2: game was tied at halftime, and we ended up having

150
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 2: a conversation about the score being run up.

151
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 1: To me, it's a bad look. There's no way around it.

152
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 3: Well, like I said, I I don't even think it's

153
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 3: really about that play or even that situation. Right, he

154
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 3: has a lot of stuff that's happening off the field. Obviously,

155
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 3: his job is on the line. And I think that's

156
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 3: what it really, that's what it boils down to. I mean,

157
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 3: it's a situation where his feeling's a hurt. He didn't

158
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 3: have the team paired in the second half to win,

159
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 3: and then you just I think that's the play, right,

160
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 3: that's the angle we really need to look at. And

161
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 3: I think as you talk about it, and as we

162
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 3: talk about it, and as other people talk about it online,

163
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 3: that's the glaring, the glaring thing, right. He didn't have

164
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 3: the team you ready to come out in the second half,

165
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 3: and for him to get his guys come out there

166
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 3: and play and defend and play to the last play,

167
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 3: to the last whistle. He didn't get that accomplished. So

168
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 3: it's a failure on his part.

169
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, no doubt. And I get it. We've all been there. Yeah,

170
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 2: we've all been there. When you're tired, you're in a

171
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 2: bad mood, somebody else says the wrong thing to you,

172
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 2: and you snap at them and then you circle back

173
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 2: an hour later, a day later, a month later, however

174
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 2: long it takes you to realize that you projected and

175
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 2: you took it out on somebody. I mean, I feel

176
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 2: like we're having a playground conversation with little kids. You

177
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:54,080
Speaker 2: took it out on somebody that had nothing to do

178
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 2: with this, and that's what happened here with Arthur Smith

179
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:00,200
Speaker 2: and Dennis Allen. He took it out on someone who

180
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 2: had absolutely nothing to do with what's going on.

181
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, Dennis Allen was you know, he was tried to

182
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,960
Speaker 3: give him the reassurance or I'm sure he told him,

183
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 3: you know, sorry or whatever. On the field, it looked

184
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 3: like he was trying to coddle the situation. But at

185
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 3: the end of the day, yeah, it was just more

186
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,959
Speaker 3: about you know, Arthur trying to blow of some steam

187
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:19,679
Speaker 3: and take it out on somebody that he could at

188
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:22,439
Speaker 3: that time. And the first person that he saw after

189
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 3: that play was obviously going to be the head coach,

190
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 3: so I'm going to take it out on him. And

191
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 3: that's kind of what happened in that situation.

192
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 2: Hey, real quick before this thing gets started, and it's

193
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:35,440
Speaker 2: Kerry Rhodes in for Kyle Rudolph. Tonight, Mark Willard, Fox

194
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 2: Sports Radio were thrilled that you're with us. Would love

195
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 2: to get your thought on this big game. A little

196
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 2: bit of the juice has been taken out of it

197
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 2: because it was potentially going to be an elimination game

198
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 2: for the Buffalo Bills, but by vers due of Jacksonville's

199
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 2: loss earlier. Today, the Bills are in, which is an

200
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 2: impressive enough feat on its own, considering where they sat

201
00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:00,559
Speaker 2: at six and six, with all kinds of weird stuff

202
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 2: that had happened to them earlier in the year. They

203
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 2: are in the playoffs, but still plenty on the line.

204
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 2: The winner gets the division, the loser gets the wild card.

205
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 2: The Bills a slight favorite. The Dolphins are banged up,

206
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 2: no doubt, no Raheem Moster, no Jalen Waddle, and we

207
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 2: know about the problems on the defensive side with Chubb

208
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 2: and Howard, and they're all gonna miss this game.

209
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 1: What's your thought on what we're gonna see tonight?

210
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:28,439
Speaker 3: You know what, coming into this game, when I knew

211
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 3: Buffalo had to win, I had them to win. And

212
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 3: it's been impressive. I mean during the season, I thought

213
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 3: they were done and I really didn't think there was

214
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 3: gonna be any salvaging for this, I mean, for them

215
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 3: this year. But at this moment, like you said, a

216
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 3: little bit of the juice is going I think they

217
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 3: know that they're in, and we talk about Miami being

218
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 3: banged up here, I think Buffalo's you know, pretty banged

219
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 3: up as well, and Josh Allen's not one hundred percent

220
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 3: and and Diggs isn't one hundred percent either. So now

221
00:10:57,679 --> 00:10:59,320
Speaker 3: that they're in, I want to see how they're gonna

222
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:01,959
Speaker 3: handle and manage this game, because you know, they want

223
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:03,319
Speaker 3: to they want to be healthy, they know they're in,

224
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 3: they know they who are pretty much who they're going

225
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 3: to play as well. So you know, I think Miami

226
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 3: is actually going to win this game because of I

227
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:14,319
Speaker 3: think the division will probably matter more to them, and

228
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 3: at this point it's about what, you know, who it

229
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 3: matters to most.

230
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 1: Yeah.

231
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 2: Interesting, I mean the way I read this, if if

232
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 2: Miami wins this football game, then uh, I don't even know.

233
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 2: Do we have the seedings out like if if the Bills.

234
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 2: If Miami wins this game, uh, they get the two seed.

235
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:35,959
Speaker 2: And does that give them Pittsburgh?

236
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:36,839
Speaker 1: Do I have that right?

237
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:39,839
Speaker 3: Yes, that would be pitt I think pitt would be seven, okay.

238
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, And and and obviously if Miami loses this game,

239
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 2: then they moved down. They moved down to six, and

240
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 2: then they would be on the road at Kansas City,

241
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 2: so you know, still still plenty on the line, and

242
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:57,680
Speaker 2: uh and if the Bills win, uh, then then they're

243
00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 2: gonna move into Division champs and and have a home game.

244
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:05,080
Speaker 1: So okay, yeah, what is it? All right?

245
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:08,680
Speaker 4: So if Miami loses there the sixth seed of Buffalo loses,

246
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 4: they're the seventh, you could so you could get a

247
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 4: rematch the very next weekend.

248
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:16,439
Speaker 2: And okay, once again Buffalo loses. If Buffalo loses, go

249
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 2: to the hotel and stay.

250
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:19,840
Speaker 3: There exactly, don't.

251
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:23,319
Speaker 1: All right? All right?

252
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 2: And and if and if Buffalo wins, then they're gonna

253
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 2: move up to the breakover Kansas City, so they get

254
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:33,320
Speaker 2: the two seeds and.

255
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:35,439
Speaker 4: They'd host Pittsburgh and then as you said, yeah, it'll

256
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 4: be Dolphins at Casey.

257
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 2: I mean to me, that's a big There's a lot

258
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,679
Speaker 2: to play for line, Carrie, it is. There's a lot

259
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 2: to play for tonight. All right, Well, we'll watch the

260
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 2: game together.

261
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:46,319
Speaker 1: There is.

262
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:51,560
Speaker 2: There's plenty to go through, including the future of one

263
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:55,319
Speaker 2: very big name coach who had absolutely nothing on the

264
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 2: line today except for maybe a goodbye. We'll get to

265

Speaker 2: Sunday Night Football, the final regular season football game of

282
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,720
Speaker 2: the year, is about to get started in with Carry Rhoads.

283
00:13:56,760 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 2: I'm Mark Willard. Glad you are with us and the

284
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,720
Speaker 2: playoffs are ahead, so we got plenty of intrigue around

285
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 2: the corner Carry, But I do always shed a little

286
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 2: bit of tear when this comes around. This entire day,

287
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 2: this whole week eighteen experience with no fantasy football and

288
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 2: half the teams are playing for nothing, and you're getting

289
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 2: to see matchups like Sam Darnold versus Carson Wentz, like

290
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 2: all kinds of weird stuff, and it always signals that

291
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 2: the NFL season is almost over, and I hate that.

292
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 1: I hate when the NFL season is over.

293
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 3: You know what, I agree with you there, I'm also

294
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 3: I'm also also be a little sad. But I'm a

295
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 3: big basketball guy as well, so at least I get

296
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 3: that little carry over, you know what I mean. I

297
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 3: get that obviously nothing like football, but you know, I

298
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:48,920
Speaker 3: get there right now. I mean, I got the Bills

299
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 3: game on in here and the Dolphins, but also have

300
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 3: the Dallas MA Big game on, so I'm you know,

301
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:55,160
Speaker 3: I'm a little intertwined between both.

302
00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 2: Believe me, I will be toggling back and forth between

303
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 2: showdown between the Warriors and the Raptors as well as

304
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 2: we watch this one. But it is interesting. I mean,

305
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 2: if you've been alive for the last twenty years to

306
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 2: see a final weekend matchup between the Bills and the

307
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 2: Dolphins for the AFC East on the Line and the

308
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 2: Patriots are not.

309
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 1: Even a part of the conversation.

310
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 2: We've gotten used to this now for the last couple

311
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 2: three years, but it's obviously hit a tipping point. The

312
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 2: Patriots are now among the worst teams in the league.

313
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 2: They are one of the teams that is still at

314
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 2: ground zero as far as the quarterback position is concerned.

315
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 2: So let me ask you a question. If we all

316
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 2: agree on the premise that Bill is moving on from

317
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 2: the Patriots, what's your thought on how hirable he is

318
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 2: for someone else?

319
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 3: You know what, I had this conversation the other day.

320
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 3: I don't think he's that hirable, and I just there

321
00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 3: comes a point where as a head coach, oder head coach,

322
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 3: you lose touch and it's just part of you know,

323
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 3: it's part of life, Like you lose touch with a

324
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 3: lot of things. When when it's kind of when it's over,

325
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 3: and I think it's really over. I know he I

326
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 3: don't know, but I think there's some desirability for him

327
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 3: to be the all time winning as coach. I'm sure

328
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 3: because it's so close. But as far as trying to

329
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 3: achieve things or go after go after certain milestones in

330
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 3: his career, I mean, he's reached them, all right, So

331
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:29,360
Speaker 3: what does he want to do? I mean, legacy wise,

332
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 3: does he want that if that's the case, then you know,

333
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 3: but you know, by all means, go do that. But

334
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 3: if I'm if I'm a GM or owner from a team,

335
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 3: I don't know if I want to bring him into

336
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 3: a team that has young guys on it that are

337
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 3: trying to learn the game, this new game, because it's different.

338
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 3: So I don't know. I think he should probably walk

339
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 3: off and do something else, consult or do something if

340
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 3: he wants to stay around. But being the head coach

341
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 3: is going to be tough for him.

342
00:16:57,080 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's kind of my thought, and I get it,

343
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:04,359
Speaker 2: especially if you're kind of an old school thinker. Sometimes

344
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:07,440
Speaker 2: it's hard for people to come around to the evolution

345
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 2: and the changes that are that are automatic.

346
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 1: But the Patriot way, if you will, which you're saying,

347
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:16,719
Speaker 1: just the Belichick way. Do you know what I mean? Hey,

348
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:19,680
Speaker 1: that of course you do. Of course you do.

349
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:24,919
Speaker 2: And it only, it only is possible if you are

350
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 2: winning three out of every four football games and contending

351
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:34,919
Speaker 2: for Super Bowl championships. Which look, I'm a big believer

352
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:37,720
Speaker 2: in coaching, and there are great coaches out there, there's

353
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 2: no doubt about that. But how many reminders do we

354
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 2: need in professional sports that the players are more important.

355
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:49,880
Speaker 2: And if you go somewhere else and and and start over,

356
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 2: and if you don't have the right people around you,

357
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:57,680
Speaker 2: I just don't know if Bill Belichick is somebody around

358
00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 2: whom you can build, as you're saying, bring young players

359
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 2: and growing up together with a way that asks so

360
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:07,439
Speaker 2: much of people.

361
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 1: I just out that doesn't feel realistic to me.

362
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's take it even a step further. Right, we

363
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 3: talk about the Patriot way, right of all of his

364
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 3: coaches or disciples, who's actually won doing it the Patriot way?

365
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 3: Like it doesn't that thing, it doesn't really exist. There's

366
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:25,920
Speaker 3: a way of doing something the way that Belichick wants

367
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:27,720
Speaker 3: to do it, and he has success doing it. So

368
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:30,200
Speaker 3: if you have veterans on that team that buys in,

369
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 3: then the younger guys are automatically, automatically gonna you know,

370
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 3: buy in. But those days are gone. I mean, there's

371
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,680
Speaker 3: no Boots Skis in that locker room. There's no Vrabels

372
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:41,920
Speaker 3: in that locker room. There's no Brady's in that locker room.

373
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:44,399
Speaker 3: There's no Vince Wolfolks in that in that in that

374
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:46,840
Speaker 3: locker room. So it's a guide those guys. And then

375
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:48,479
Speaker 3: you look at the teams he's had there. I mean,

376
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:52,920
Speaker 3: they've been talentless. And I hate to say that speaking

377
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:56,119
Speaker 3: about NFL guys, but their their level hasn't been to

378
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:59,680
Speaker 3: that same level. So you can't keep hammering a certain

379
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 3: way when it's not working. You have to do something different. Well,

380
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:04,159
Speaker 3: And and you know you.

381
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 2: Mentioned a bunch of names and there are no veterans

382
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:09,359
Speaker 2: there like that. Couldn't I whittle it down and just

383
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:13,919
Speaker 2: be like, well, no, no Tom's not there. You could period,

384
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 2: you could, I mean listen, And I don't want to

385
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 2: take all of his acumen away from him.

386
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 1: I would never do that.

387
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 2: He had a big hand in all of this. But

388
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:26,360
Speaker 2: Bill Belichick's record without Tom Brady in his career.

389
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:26,480
Speaker 6: Is what.

390
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:31,639
Speaker 3: It's not. It's not as successful, I'll say that, but

391
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 3: you know what, you know, you know what Mark is

392
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:37,160
Speaker 3: one of those things where but that happens with any

393
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:40,680
Speaker 3: winning team though, right, like you have to have your guy.

394
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 3: So I mean, we could see the year when Tom

395
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 3: Brady wasn't there, they still won eleven games under Bill

396
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:50,399
Speaker 3: Belichick with those guys that I named, you know, you

397
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:53,639
Speaker 3: know I just mentioned, right, So it's it's it's the

398
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:55,479
Speaker 3: perfect storm. A lot of things has to go your

399
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:57,440
Speaker 3: way to winning this league, and if you don't have

400
00:19:57,560 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 3: that quarterback we're seeing, you cannot get it done.

401
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 2: Okay, what if I zero in on one team though,

402
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:05,639
Speaker 2: because I bet some people listening to us are like,

403
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:08,920
Speaker 2: wait a minute, what if he ends up somewhere where

404
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 2: the guy is already in place? And we don't know

405
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:16,880
Speaker 2: technically if the guy is in place. We all think

406
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:20,400
Speaker 2: the guy is in place, and it's been everything around

407
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:24,440
Speaker 2: him that's been unsuccessful, and if given the right coach

408
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 2: and the right system and the right backing.

409
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 1: We all believe. I think that Justin Herbert can be

410
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:33,120
Speaker 1: the guy. So does that fit?

411
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 3: I know, I mean that's obviously the one that a

412
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 3: lot of people are talking about. It seemed like it fits.

413
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 3: I think there's so much more wrong with that team, though.

414
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:47,200
Speaker 3: Agree they can't stay healthy, and I don't know what

415
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 3: that's about. Obviously, that's part of playing sports, you know,

416
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 3: injuries happen, so that's been kind of their history. I

417
00:20:55,160 --> 00:21:00,840
Speaker 3: don't think their leaders are our real leader, and I

418
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 3: think they're one of those teams that are front runners.

419
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:06,640
Speaker 3: So I just don't think that that team is as

420
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 3: ready to win as people think. And even Herbert, Right,

421
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 3: we saw him in the playoff game. We saw he

422
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 3: played well, but he can get it done. The year

423
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:17,880
Speaker 3: that they were up big on I mean last year,

424
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 3: the year they were up big on the Jags and

425
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:23,000
Speaker 3: kind of floundered that game. So yeah, I think there's

426
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 3: more wrong with that team than than people think it

427
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 3: is as well, and there's.

428
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:27,920
Speaker 1: No doubt about it.

429
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 2: There are a couple of teams this year in the

430
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:34,360
Speaker 2: NFL where I really scratch my head and I go, God,

431
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:37,920
Speaker 2: what they're doing is just kind of it's mysterious, like

432
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:40,200
Speaker 2: I can't figure it out. I think some people feel

433
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:43,359
Speaker 2: that way about the Philadelphia Eagles for the last six weeks,

434
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:45,000
Speaker 2: like what happened?

435
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 1: And we will get to that, no doubt.

436
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:51,400
Speaker 2: But when I look at the the Los Angeles Chargers,

437
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:53,920
Speaker 2: sure call him that if you want. I mean, part

438
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:57,399
Speaker 2: of their problem astray is inherent. Part of their problem

439
00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:00,639
Speaker 2: is they don't play home games. And I no issue

440
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 2: saying that. Yeah, like that that building is filled with

441
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:07,080
Speaker 2: whoever is is the visiting team every time, and that

442
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 2: is a built in disadvantage for the Chargers. But that said,

443
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 2: every coach I've ever talked to is like, well, the

444
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:20,439
Speaker 2: key positions on the field are obviously quarterback, pass rusher

445
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:26,160
Speaker 2: for most is maybe next shut down corner and left tackle,

446
00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:30,399
Speaker 2: receivers or obviously on the rise in terms of importance.

447
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:33,960
Speaker 2: And I name those positions and I go, She's the

448
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 2: Chargers are stacked in those spots. They're absolutely stacked with

449
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:44,359
Speaker 2: elite talent in those spots and can't win football games.

450
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:46,560
Speaker 3: I don't get it, well, because all those guys you

451
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:49,239
Speaker 3: just named that they're they're elite at those spots. They

452
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 3: stay hurt. Yeah, So again that's part of it, right,

453
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:55,240
Speaker 3: Like those guys, I mean, Bosa, he's always he's he

454
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 3: always finds, he always ends up, you know, with some

455
00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:00,640
Speaker 3: kind of nick or injury that takes him for some time.

456
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:02,960
Speaker 3: Khalil Max getting a little older. I don't even think

457
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,679
Speaker 3: he's going to be around too much longer. So think

458
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:08,359
Speaker 3: about those guys. Think about your stud safety Derwin James.

459
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:11,680
Speaker 3: He's hurt usually during the season. I mean even Herbert.

460
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:14,359
Speaker 3: Herbert's always usually banged up at some point during the season.

461
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:16,479
Speaker 3: So health, health is going to be a big thing

462
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:19,440
Speaker 3: for them. And uh, you know, I think that's I

463
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:21,440
Speaker 3: think that's probably the number one thing. And also having

464
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 3: the coach that thinks he's playing a video game and

465
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 3: not playing actual football at the time. That that hurts too.

466
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:29,040
Speaker 3: So it was a multitude of things that was wrong

467
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 3: with those.

468
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 1: Guys, no doubt, no doubt, Keenan Allen, also Mike Williams.

469
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:36,240
Speaker 2: These guys struggle with injury every year, and h and

470
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:38,480
Speaker 2: Staley never met a fourth down that he didn't like,

471
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,720
Speaker 2: and all those things were problems. But you know, that's

472
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 2: that's obviously a big part of the reason why he's

473
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:47,720
Speaker 2: not there. All right, much more to discuss, including that

474
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 2: Eagle situation. But let's get you up to date on

475
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:53,920
Speaker 2: everything that is happening has happened.

476
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:55,640
Speaker 1: It's a lot. Here's Nick Cole.

477
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 3: All right, thank you very much.

478
00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:57,400
Speaker 1: Mark.

479
00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 4: We're keeping tabs on the Sunday night game in South Florida,

480
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:03,680
Speaker 4: Miami and Buffalo scoreless to a tongue of Iloa. Dolphins

481
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 4: had the ball first and he was picked off. They'rewn

482
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 4: deep into double coverage downfield. He was looking for Tyreek Hill.

483
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 4: Bills have the ball currently their first drive. They're at

484
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:14,359
Speaker 4: their own thirty six yard line. So the rest of

485
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 4: the AFC and those wildcard matchups that largely hinges on

486
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:20,919
Speaker 4: what happens tonight in this game, the winner will win

487
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 4: the AFC East. They get the number two seed. If

488
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 4: Buffalo is the loser, they'll be the seven seed, and

489
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:28,920
Speaker 4: we'll have a rematch between these two teams next week.

490
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 4: If the Dolphins lose, they'll be the sixth seed and

491
00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:34,040
Speaker 4: face the Chiefs, and then it'll be the Steelers either

492
00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:36,680
Speaker 4: the six or the seven, depending on what happens. We

493
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:38,680
Speaker 4: do know one matchup in the AFC and will be

494
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:41,080
Speaker 4: the Texans hosting the Browns on the four or five,

495
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:45,480
Speaker 4: Houston winning the AFC Sound with the Jaguars loss earlier

496
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 4: today to the Titans. NFC wildcard matchups those are set.

497
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:52,639
Speaker 4: Packers beat the Bears seventeen to nine to clinch the

498
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:56,200
Speaker 4: final wildcard spot. Matt Lafleur now ten and zero against Chicago,

499
00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:58,880
Speaker 4: so Green Bay the seventh seed. They'll travel to take

500
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:01,680
Speaker 4: on the Cowboys. Dallas blew out the Commander's thirty five

501
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:03,680
Speaker 4: to ten to clinch the NFC East and the number

502
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:06,959
Speaker 4: two seed. Rams clinched the sixth seed a twenty one

503
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 4: to twenty win over the forty nine Ers in a

504
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:12,639
Speaker 4: game that featured several backups. La receiver pukaakuas at the

505
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:16,399
Speaker 4: NFL's records for receiving yards and receptions by a rookie.

506
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:19,399
Speaker 4: Rams will face the three seed Lions, who beat the

507
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:22,760
Speaker 4: Vikings earlier today thirty to twenty. Bucks won the NFC

508
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:25,160
Speaker 4: South and earned the number four seed with a shutout

509
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:27,879
Speaker 4: of the Panthers nine zip. Tampa will host the Eagles

510
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:30,879
Speaker 4: next weekend. Philly struggled against the Giants twenty seven to ten,

511
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:33,960
Speaker 4: and they've got some injury concerns as well. Aj Brown

512
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 4: left with the knee injury. NFL Meter reports though that

513
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 4: it's not believed to be serious. Jalen Hurts and then

514
00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:42,639
Speaker 4: left and then later returned with a finger injury.

515
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 3: Hurts it after the.

516
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:46,119
Speaker 4: Game that it popped out and he's just going to

517
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 4: take things day by day. Draft order taking shape as well.

518
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 4: Bears wide the number one pick via the Panthers. Rest

519
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:57,680
Speaker 4: of the top five in order, Commanders, Patriots, Cardinals, and

520
00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 4: Chargers and again Buffalo and Miami currently scoreless, but the

521
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 4: Bills now in plus territory, just outside the red zone.

522
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:07,360
Speaker 4: As we are about six and a half minutes into

523
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:09,320
Speaker 4: the first quarter. Let's go back to Mark Willard and

524
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:10,359
Speaker 4: carry Rhodes.

525
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:14,359
Speaker 2: Okay, Nick, great stuff, Thank you very much. We are

526
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:17,400
Speaker 2: live in the tiraq dot com studios. Let's talk about

527
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 2: those Philadelphia Eagles for a second, Carrie. It's going to

528
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:25,240
Speaker 2: be another rough week for Nick Sirianni on Philadelphia Sports Radio.

529
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 2: I can promise you that as they have won one

530
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 2: football game since the start of the month of December,

531
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:36,200
Speaker 2: and that came in a close home win against the

532
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:38,879
Speaker 2: hapless New York Giants, who, by the way, today just

533
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:42,400
Speaker 2: completely picked them apart. Whether it was a lack of motivation,

534
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:45,480
Speaker 2: the injuries, hurts in and out of the game. AJ

535
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 2: Brown gets knocked out of the game. The Eagles were

536
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:51,960
Speaker 2: already in a bad spot. And I said this a

537
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:57,000
Speaker 2: week ago on my weekday show here in San Francisco,

538
00:26:57,080 --> 00:27:00,280
Speaker 2: where the forty nine ers as the one seed, all

539
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 2: trying to predict how this will play out. And I

540
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:05,119
Speaker 2: don't want to call the worry, but sort of the

541
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 2: thought is the Niners might get a division foe right

542
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:11,000
Speaker 2: out of the gate in the Los Angeles Rams. I

543
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:14,160
Speaker 2: have more respect for the Detroit Lions than it sounds

544
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:17,040
Speaker 2: like some people do. I think the Lions are gonna

545
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:19,960
Speaker 2: win that football game, and I predicted a couple of

546
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:22,520
Speaker 2: weeks ago that the Tampa Bay Bucks are going to

547
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 2: be the Niners first opponent here in a couple of weeks,

548
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 2: because I think the Bucks are going to beat the

549
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:31,680
Speaker 2: Eagles next week, because I think just about anybody would

550
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 2: beat the Eagles next week. What has happened to this

551
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:36,480
Speaker 2: football team through your eyes?

552
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:40,400
Speaker 3: Well, I don't think. Yeah, I've been bad on them

553
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 3: and for a while, even when they were winning, and so,

554
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:46,399
Speaker 3: I mean I was having conversations about that. I mean,

555
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:49,480
Speaker 3: I just thought something was wrong. And you can definitely

556
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:53,920
Speaker 3: tell something's wrong now and it stamms internally. Something's off there.

557
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 3: You can see the players aren't really I don't want

558
00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:01,639
Speaker 3: to say listening, but respond to what Nick Sirianni has

559
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:03,880
Speaker 3: to say here. I mean, he's in these last couple

560
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:06,120
Speaker 3: of weeks. You know, you change the defensive coordinators during

561
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:09,440
Speaker 3: the season. You're giving one play caller a chance to

562
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:11,399
Speaker 3: call it in the first half another one. It's just

563
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:13,879
Speaker 3: it's bad, Like you know what I mean, Like you

564
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 3: don't do that because as a play caller, you have

565
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:17,840
Speaker 3: to get rhythm. You have to get into the game

566
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:19,560
Speaker 3: and to the flow and know what's going on. So

567
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:22,560
Speaker 3: even just some of those things you hear that are

568
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 3: going on, it's just it sounds like it's bad. And

569
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:29,560
Speaker 3: for me, I'm not a big fan of Sirianni anyway,

570
00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:34,680
Speaker 3: so I'm almost like wishing him ill intent. And I

571
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:36,600
Speaker 3: know that's kind of hard to say on the air

572
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 3: right now, but I really am like, I don't think

573
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 3: he's that likable, and so when you see those things

574
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:44,200
Speaker 3: kind of permeate now it makes sense to me.

575
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 1: Talk to me about that statement. You're not a big

576
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:49,760
Speaker 1: fan of him, to be, I want to hear why.

577
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:51,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, no, I'm not a fan of his. I mean,

578
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 3: number one, he's he's a little bit of a front

579
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:55,600
Speaker 3: runner as well. I mean, when things are going well,

580
00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:57,480
Speaker 3: he puts it out there for people to see it.

581
00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:02,680
Speaker 3: He's definitely brag adoseed with this approach. He's very emotional,

582
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:05,920
Speaker 3: and as a coach, sometimes you know, if you're that

583
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 3: guy and you're super emotional, when the highs or high

584
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:11,600
Speaker 3: players see that and can go with that and obviously

585
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:13,760
Speaker 3: can take you to where they went last year to

586
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 3: the super Bowl, but when the lows are low, I

587
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 3: can only imagine how that energy is in the locker room.

588
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:21,479
Speaker 3: So that's what I that's what I kind of sen

589
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 3: from him.

590
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:22,160
Speaker 1: I don't.

591
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:25,200
Speaker 3: I don't since he has I don't feel that he

592
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:28,760
Speaker 3: has this level of being able to keep it coping

593
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:31,520
Speaker 3: steady for a team. And if you don't have that rock,

594
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:33,760
Speaker 3: then who's going to be that guy? And you know

595
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:35,840
Speaker 3: you have Jalen Hurts, who usually is that guy. But

596
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 3: when you have a coach that likes to be in

597
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:41,200
Speaker 3: front of that, it doesn't sit well with the team

598
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:41,560
Speaker 3: as well.

599
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:46,560
Speaker 2: Josh Allen picked off in the end zone by the Dolphins,

600
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:51,520
Speaker 2: kind of a wayward throw where at minimum his receiver

601
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:53,920
Speaker 2: and him had a little bit of a miscommunication.

602
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 1: It was close to the ground.

603
00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 2: But looking at that replay, I think that's gonna stand

604
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:01,040
Speaker 2: and I think that Dolphins.

605
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:02,520
Speaker 1: Have got a turnover.

606
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 2: So both quarterbacks picked off on their opening drive and

607
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:11,040
Speaker 2: we sit still at a zero zero some game after

608
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:13,600
Speaker 2: one drive each for the Bills and Dolphins, and Josh

609
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:15,800
Speaker 2: Allen's turnover bug continues there.

610
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:18,840
Speaker 3: It is no he's a guy that obviously we know,

611
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:21,360
Speaker 3: yeah when he played. When he does this, it's just

612
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:23,280
Speaker 3: bad and it looks bad too, like even that one

613
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 3: right where is he throwing it too? Obviously a miscommunication,

614
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:29,800
Speaker 3: but you know, they gotta they gotta be careful with him. Man.

615
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:31,960
Speaker 3: They have to continue to do what they've done to

616
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:33,800
Speaker 3: win games down the stretch, and that's run the ball

617
00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:36,520
Speaker 3: and you know, play play defense and let him run

618
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:37,160
Speaker 3: the ball as well.

619
00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 1: Uh, no doubt about it.

620
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:42,600
Speaker 2: But back to the Eagles, there's sort of like it's

621
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:46,280
Speaker 2: a team that's filled with an emotional response. Like you

622
00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:49,240
Speaker 2: you even the way you just talked about that, Nick Sirianni,

623
00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:51,040
Speaker 2: there's an emotional response.

624
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 3: Yeah.

625
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:54,200
Speaker 1: Uh, the whole fan base is an emotional response.

626
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:57,720
Speaker 2: There are big, you know, sparkly things on offense, from

627
00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:01,920
Speaker 2: Jalen Hurts to AJ Brown to Devon Smith, but just

628
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 2: the x'es and o's here's what no one noticed for

629
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:08,800
Speaker 2: a while. And they were ten and one, and I'm

630
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:11,120
Speaker 2: not going to say that they weren't a good football team.

631
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:13,040
Speaker 2: You're a good football team if you're ten in one,

632
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:15,760
Speaker 2: But if you did a little bit of a deep dive,

633
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 2: they got away with a lot of stuff in close games,

634
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:24,040
Speaker 2: in the fourth quarters of games throughout that first eleven weeks.

635
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:27,480
Speaker 2: Number one, but number two, they also had an offense

636
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:30,760
Speaker 2: that was in sync and therefore covering up for what

637
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:34,880
Speaker 2: I think carry is absolutely one of the worst defenses

638
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:39,800
Speaker 2: in the entire NFL. Sam Howell would win the job

639
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:42,840
Speaker 2: for the Commanders in the future if he got to

640
00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:46,280
Speaker 2: play seventeen times against the Eagles, because he scores over

641
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:50,120
Speaker 2: thirty points against them. They don't get to fourteen against

642
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:52,959
Speaker 2: anybody else. But if you look at what the Eagles

643
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:56,000
Speaker 2: were giving up for the most part early on in

644
00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 2: the year close games, Jalen Hurtz and the butt push

645
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:03,480
Speaker 2: and all this stuff was was sort of overcoming what

646
00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:07,080
Speaker 2: was clearly not a good group. The Niners went in

647
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:10,719
Speaker 2: there on December third, exposed them and it's just been

648
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 2: downhill ever since. So you know, the emotional vibe is off.

649
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:19,560
Speaker 2: I don't know if you could recapture that in seven days.

650
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:19,920
Speaker 3: Nope.

651
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:22,240
Speaker 1: But even if you can't carry, they've got an exus

652
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:23,000
Speaker 1: and O's problem.

653
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:23,280
Speaker 2: They do.

654
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:26,440
Speaker 3: I agree with you, and I think the excellence and

655
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:30,440
Speaker 3: old thing is one hundred percent true. But they also,

656
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:32,280
Speaker 3: like you said, they had a couple of plays that

657
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:35,920
Speaker 3: would save them, right the tust push like they would

658
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:37,520
Speaker 3: get they would just run the ball and get it

659
00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 3: to third and one, And obviously you can't stop them

660
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:41,880
Speaker 3: on third and one, so they would keep the chains

661
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:45,520
Speaker 3: moving and in games, those close games where you know

662
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:48,640
Speaker 3: it's you know, inches, your inches away from losing or winning.

663
00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:51,000
Speaker 3: They were really good at the inches, right, but in

664
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:54,080
Speaker 3: between that, they weren't good. I mean even you go

665
00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:56,640
Speaker 3: earlier when they lost to the Jets right at that time,

666
00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:02,000
Speaker 3: trying to out execute or you use the exes and

667
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:05,360
Speaker 3: O's situation where it got them in trouble. They threw

668
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:08,200
Speaker 3: the interception, the Jets win that game. And then there's

669
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 3: games where obviously they came back and were able to

670
00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:13,120
Speaker 3: win down the stretch. But yeah, they're not. They weren't

671
00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:14,880
Speaker 3: in a good way. They just were eking out some

672
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:18,440
Speaker 3: wins and they kind of mask the I guess the

673
00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 3: problematic areas that they had throughout the season so far.

674
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:22,360
Speaker 1: Yeah.

675
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:25,760
Speaker 2: Absolutely so, more on that around the bend, the matchups

676
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:28,560
Speaker 2: that we know, we will get into that. And also

677
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:34,040
Speaker 2: was it the biggest mistake of the day by any team.

678
00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:38,080
Speaker 2: We'll talk about that coming up next with Kerry Rhoads.

687
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:07,760
Speaker 2: to all of the NFL action, the seedings, the matchups,

688
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:12,399
Speaker 2: one word to describe Dan Campbell after the last eight

689
00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:13,400
Speaker 2: days of our lives.

690
00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:14,640
Speaker 1: I think it's pretty simple.

691
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:17,839
Speaker 2: I don't think it's always a bad word, but there's

692
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:19,600
Speaker 2: one word, in one word only that we can use

693
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:27,440
Speaker 2: to describe him. Stubborn. Oh my god, stubborn, like the

694
00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:31,359
Speaker 2: refs messed with us. And now I'm at the seven

695
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:36,239
Speaker 2: yard line and we're going for two anyway. And then

696
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:42,160
Speaker 2: you're facing a week eighteen situation where, let's be honest,

697
00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:45,760
Speaker 2: I know that coaches don't love to do this, assume

698
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:49,320
Speaker 2: who's gonna beat who and all of that, But the

699
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:51,239
Speaker 2: Cowboys are gonna beat the Commanders.

700
00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:53,280
Speaker 1: Man, they're gonna win that division.

701
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:59,800
Speaker 2: And so what are you hammering all your starters into

702
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:04,480
Speaker 2: this game four from beginning to end so that you

703
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:07,920
Speaker 2: can win a football game to solidify a seed that

704
00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:09,560
Speaker 2: you essentially already had.

705
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:12,240
Speaker 1: And now now here.

706
00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:16,880
Speaker 2: Comes Matt Stafford you're this city's old quarterback and a

707
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:21,959
Speaker 2: hot RAMS team and your stud rookie tight end is out.

708
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:28,040
Speaker 1: So listen, I get it. I love Dan Campbell.

709
00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:32,440
Speaker 2: I think that the line between stubborn and consistency is

710
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:36,880
Speaker 2: very thin. He's consistent and he backs his guys, and

711
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:40,560
Speaker 2: he's got a very rough, gruff, former player type attitude.

712
00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:43,440
Speaker 2: But man, the bottom line is is that is at

713
00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:45,000
Speaker 2: times gonna get you in trouble.

714
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:49,400
Speaker 3: Yeah no, I mean, obviously there's the whole adage of

715
00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:53,600
Speaker 3: rust versus rest, right yep. And I know a lot

716
00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:55,839
Speaker 3: of times, especially when you know you're going to plan

717
00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:59,319
Speaker 3: that wild card weekend, you want to keep that momentum going.

718
00:35:59,880 --> 00:36:02,680
Speaker 3: I do understand it. I don't know why he played

719
00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:05,920
Speaker 3: them as long, I mean the whole game, but you

720
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:09,279
Speaker 3: definitely I think for them probably needed to get some

721
00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:11,440
Speaker 3: reps and play a little bit there to keep the

722
00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:15,680
Speaker 3: to keep their momentum going. But after a certain amount

723
00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:17,400
Speaker 3: of time, it's time to get those guys out of there.

724
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:20,560
Speaker 3: I mean, and to see Laporter go down. And we

725
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:22,200
Speaker 3: saw the reports. I mean I just saw the report

726
00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:24,920
Speaker 3: when I sat down. It was hyper extended. So at

727
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:27,320
Speaker 3: least there's no structural damage. And so hopefully he'll be

728
00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:30,000
Speaker 3: able to you know, tough it out and be ready

729
00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:33,960
Speaker 3: to play this weekend, next weekend coming up. So hopefully

730
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:34,680
Speaker 3: everything turns out.

731
00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:34,959
Speaker 1: Okay.

732
00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:36,640
Speaker 3: But you're you're, you're a little bit right. He's a

733
00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:39,480
Speaker 3: little stubborn. He's a little bit you know, he has

734
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:44,120
Speaker 3: that Machi's more about him, and it's it's permeated throughout

735
00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:46,040
Speaker 3: the team and that that grit and all that stuff

736
00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:49,160
Speaker 3: that we rave about when we talk about him. But yeah,

737
00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:50,800
Speaker 3: I think he played him a little too long obviously.

738
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:53,080
Speaker 3: I mean, and I guess hindsight's twenty twenty. If they

739
00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:56,279
Speaker 3: get out that game and and they're health free, then

740
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:58,759
Speaker 3: we're it's probably a different tune, right. So yeah, it's

741
00:36:58,800 --> 00:36:59,520
Speaker 3: just tough right now.

742
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:04,120
Speaker 2: Well, listen, I understand the thought process I did last

743
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:07,960
Speaker 2: Saturday too. You know, I had this back from this perspective.

744
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:11,800
Speaker 2: I didn't really like it when the national discourse was

745
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:15,520
Speaker 2: kind of like, sure, the ref's messed up, but Dan

746
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:21,520
Speaker 2: Campbell really messed up too by not just taking the

747
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:23,919
Speaker 2: extra point once you ended up back at the seven

748
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:27,440
Speaker 2: yard line. And I'm thinking to myself, Okay, human beings,

749
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:32,520
Speaker 2: let's put ourselves in Dan's shoes for just a second. Okay,

750
00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:35,919
Speaker 2: you walked into the building, You worked on this play

751
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:38,560
Speaker 2: all week. You walked into the building, You pulled the

752
00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:40,520
Speaker 2: ref aside, and you said, this is what we're doing,

753
00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:46,440
Speaker 2: and the situation then presents itself and you do it.

754
00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:49,160
Speaker 2: You do exactly what you said you were going to do,

755
00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:53,120
Speaker 2: and it is fully within the rules, and you execute

756
00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:57,520
Speaker 2: it to perfection, and you win a football game that

757
00:37:57,719 --> 00:38:01,040
Speaker 2: was going to change the seeding in the playoffs, and

758
00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:05,359
Speaker 2: these guys took it from you, and then they gave

759
00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:12,160
Speaker 2: you thirty seconds to calm down. I mean, it doesn't

760
00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:16,239
Speaker 2: work that way, especially not in football. That is a

761
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:20,640
Speaker 2: moment where I would be and he was so livid.

762
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:24,279
Speaker 2: I mean, you just see red. You see red, and

763
00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:27,800
Speaker 2: in that moment, you're gonna ask a guy now, while

764
00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:31,840
Speaker 2: you're seeing red, while there is steam coming out of

765
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:35,600
Speaker 2: your ears, make sure you make a calm, mature decision.

766
00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:39,239
Speaker 2: It's like, come on, man, like, no, I got his

767
00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:39,879
Speaker 2: back here.

768
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:43,920
Speaker 1: Sure it's easy for us to be like, dude, kick

769
00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:45,560
Speaker 1: the one, but I'm like, he's.

770
00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:49,600
Speaker 2: Absolutely on a heater right now. Of course, And I

771
00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:53,279
Speaker 2: get the thought process here too, young team. I'm not

772
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:56,879
Speaker 2: gonna let them, get complacent, fat cat sword of mentality.

773
00:38:57,000 --> 00:38:58,320
Speaker 1: We've already got our division.

774
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:02,960
Speaker 2: I get the mental but you're just walking a very

775
00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:05,320
Speaker 2: tight rope and it looks like two weeks in a

776
00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:09,960
Speaker 2: row that same stubborn mentality has had collateral damage.

777
00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:14,040
Speaker 3: Well, the thing about all of this is they're in

778
00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:18,640
Speaker 3: the spotlight now right where it's been decades where that

779
00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:21,880
Speaker 3: hasn't been the truth hasn't been the case. So now

780
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:24,880
Speaker 3: things are going to be you know, we're going to

781
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:28,240
Speaker 3: question it. We're going to see if he can actually

782
00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:33,200
Speaker 3: get through these situations that happens with winning teams where

783
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:36,560
Speaker 3: you have to make decisions and not just be the

784
00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:41,080
Speaker 3: emotional catalyst or you know, have you know, be the

785
00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:43,080
Speaker 3: backbone for the team. Now you have to start making

786
00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:46,400
Speaker 3: real coaching decisions, and you have to be able to

787
00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:50,200
Speaker 3: separate the two, right because the emotion sometimes as a player,

788
00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:53,000
Speaker 3: we want to always go we won't always be aggressive,

789
00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:55,000
Speaker 3: and him being a former player, he's going to take

790
00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:57,759
Speaker 3: that stance a lot of times. But there's also a

791
00:39:57,880 --> 00:40:00,840
Speaker 3: maturity about being a head coach and being a decision

792
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:02,960
Speaker 3: maker that has to come into a play, has to

793
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:05,560
Speaker 3: come into account here as well. You definitely don't go

794
00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:08,560
Speaker 3: for two at the seven, you kick extra point, by

795
00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:12,720
Speaker 3: the book. So being able to make make those decisions

796
00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:15,640
Speaker 3: and decipher between those things, it's going to be a

797
00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:16,520
Speaker 3: learning curve for them.

798
00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:21,120
Speaker 2: You know who's the player version of Dan Campbell, Who's

799
00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:25,480
Speaker 2: his name is Josh Allen. And we will explain exactly

800
00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:28,719
Speaker 2: why we said that coming up next, as we continue

801
00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:32,000
Speaker 2: to watch this game and talk out the matchups that

802
00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:35,640
Speaker 2: are already set for the playoffs with Kerry Rhads, Mark Willard.

803
00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:39,120
Speaker 1: FSR listening to Fox Sports Radio.

804
00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:44,720
Speaker 2: Look, I never want to judge on a small sample.

805
00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:48,920
Speaker 2: I never want to be a prisoner of the moment.

806
00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:51,080
Speaker 1: Carrie Rhodes, I don't want to do that.

807
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:56,160
Speaker 2: But I got questions why why is this game still

808
00:40:56,280 --> 00:41:00,600
Speaker 2: tied at zero? Because of poor decision making by Allen?

809
00:41:00,719 --> 00:41:04,440
Speaker 2: Bottom line? And so I got some questions to ask you. Well,

Speaker 1: Way tire buying should be.

815
00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:20,880
Speaker 2: There are a number of these guys in the NFL,

816
00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:26,960
Speaker 2: but this year the poster guy for this is Brock Purdy.

817
00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:31,520
Speaker 2: People who get downgraded because they're just you know, doing

818
00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:35,240
Speaker 2: what their coach tells them to do. They're just running

819
00:41:35,280 --> 00:41:39,560
Speaker 2: a system, they're just you know, putting the ball in

820
00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:41,120
Speaker 2: space and letting.

821
00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:44,239
Speaker 1: Other people do all of the work. And we get

822
00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:46,719
Speaker 1: to the point where it boils down to some of

823
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:48,360
Speaker 1: these quarterbacks.

824
00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:52,480
Speaker 2: Being denigrated for simply being decision makers.

825
00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:55,480
Speaker 1: Carrie, give me a decision maker.

826
00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:59,359
Speaker 2: That's what I want in every facet of my life.

827
00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:01,840
Speaker 2: I want a good decision maker. I wish I was

828
00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:04,840
Speaker 2: a better decision maker. I'd like to be brock perty

829
00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:07,120
Speaker 2: in my life. I'd like to just be able to

830
00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:11,040
Speaker 2: process everything quickly and see the future and make the

831
00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:14,280
Speaker 2: right decision and then just be boped down the field

832
00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:17,240
Speaker 2: of life. But no, I got a little Josh Allen

833
00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:20,080
Speaker 2: in me where it's just like, oh gosh, everything's going

834
00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:20,480
Speaker 2: to hell.

835
00:42:20,680 --> 00:42:23,880
Speaker 7: How could app Let's see what happened? And then no,

836
00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:29,840
Speaker 7: that's not good. So this guy who we keep putting

837
00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:31,600
Speaker 7: in that elite.

838
00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:37,680
Speaker 1: Sentence mahomes Alan Burrow. I like watching him all year.

839
00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:40,720
Speaker 1: Of course he's got elite skills.

840
00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:44,279
Speaker 2: But my goss, the two picks already in the end

841
00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:47,680
Speaker 2: zone tonight and neither one of them had any excuse.

842
00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:51,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know what it is. I was talking about

843
00:42:51,840 --> 00:42:55,880
Speaker 3: this the other day as well. Every NFL quarterback is

844
00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:59,759
Speaker 3: a system quarterback. You have to learn the system to

845
00:42:59,840 --> 00:43:02,320
Speaker 3: be able to operate in that system to be the

846
00:43:02,360 --> 00:43:07,000
Speaker 3: best version of yourself. Now, once you acquire that level

847
00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:11,239
Speaker 3: of you know knowledge and you're able to make those

848
00:43:11,320 --> 00:43:14,560
Speaker 3: decisions and you're able to put us in the best

849
00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:18,200
Speaker 3: possible situation, then you know, obviously there are some things

850
00:43:18,239 --> 00:43:20,479
Speaker 3: that break down during the player, during the game where

851
00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:23,920
Speaker 3: you have to be elite, And I think that's the

852
00:43:24,040 --> 00:43:27,160
Speaker 3: issue with Josh Allen. He tries to be elite all

853
00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:29,960
Speaker 3: the time. And on the other side of the ball.

854
00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:33,560
Speaker 3: You know what, there's some elite talent on that side

855
00:43:33,600 --> 00:43:36,640
Speaker 3: as well, right, and so when you play the elite game,

856
00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:39,160
Speaker 3: it's going to bite you in the butt sometimes. But

857
00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:42,440
Speaker 3: you know, I think if you really understood what was

858
00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:45,000
Speaker 3: going on or what coverages you had a lot of

859
00:43:45,040 --> 00:43:47,000
Speaker 3: times you don't have to do that. You can save

860
00:43:47,040 --> 00:43:50,080
Speaker 3: yourself from being in those situations by being able to

861
00:43:50,120 --> 00:43:52,200
Speaker 3: read the feeld and knowing what's going on and knowing

862
00:43:52,320 --> 00:43:54,359
Speaker 3: what the defense is trying to do to you as well,

863
00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:58,040
Speaker 3: because the quarterbacks that you know that are going to

864
00:43:58,120 --> 00:43:59,840
Speaker 3: last in this league and the quarterbacks that are going

865
00:43:59,920 --> 00:44:02,839
Speaker 3: to always have an opportunity to play in this league

866
00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:05,160
Speaker 3: and have a job on the system guys, and I

867
00:44:05,239 --> 00:44:09,200
Speaker 3: think we give that system Moniker a back. It's just

868
00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:12,040
Speaker 3: it's not fair. It's not a fair thing to give

869
00:44:12,120 --> 00:44:14,719
Speaker 3: the guys as a punishment, kind do you know what

870
00:44:14,760 --> 00:44:15,000
Speaker 3: I mean?

871
00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:18,800
Speaker 2: Totally totally long, long touchdown run while we were talking

872
00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:22,160
Speaker 2: by Devon ah Chan the rookie, and the Dolphins strike

873
00:44:22,239 --> 00:44:24,880
Speaker 2: first seven nothing, even though the Bills had moved the

874
00:44:24,920 --> 00:44:28,400
Speaker 2: ball up and down the field pretty nicely, and then

875
00:44:28,440 --> 00:44:31,760
Speaker 2: there was also a non decision making issues Stefon Diggs

876
00:44:32,280 --> 00:44:34,840
Speaker 2: a couple of drives, Ago ran wide open down the

877
00:44:34,880 --> 00:44:37,120
Speaker 2: field and Alan just threw the ball right over his head.

878
00:44:37,560 --> 00:44:41,719
Speaker 2: So listen, I take nothing away from guys who are

879
00:44:42,120 --> 00:44:44,520
Speaker 2: made men in this league, and I don't I'm not

880
00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:46,480
Speaker 2: one of these people that's like, until you win a

881
00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:48,560
Speaker 2: Super Bowl, you're not a made guy.

882
00:44:48,920 --> 00:44:49,759
Speaker 1: I don't buy it.

883
00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:53,760
Speaker 2: If you have your team in contention pretty much every

884
00:44:53,880 --> 00:44:56,960
Speaker 2: year and you've shown the ability to do big things

885
00:44:57,040 --> 00:45:00,040
Speaker 2: in the playoffs, then you've got my vote. So I

886
00:45:00,160 --> 00:45:03,399
Speaker 2: have no problem with Josh Allen and Joe Burrow being

887
00:45:03,600 --> 00:45:08,280
Speaker 2: in that conversation. They're fantastic players. But those three guys

888
00:45:09,239 --> 00:45:12,359
Speaker 2: are the three guys that coming into this year everyone went,

889
00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:18,360
Speaker 2: all right, that's tier one Mahomes, Alan and Burrow.

890
00:45:19,719 --> 00:45:22,040
Speaker 1: Let's take stock of tier one this year.

891
00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:27,439
Speaker 2: Burrow with his second major injury, not that that's his fault, Yep,

892
00:45:28,760 --> 00:45:30,080
Speaker 2: Josh Allen has been.

893
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:33,759
Speaker 1: A turnover machine. See the discussion we just had.

894
00:45:34,680 --> 00:45:40,200
Speaker 2: And Patrick Mahomes is engineering an offense that for whatever reason,

895
00:45:41,440 --> 00:45:43,520
Speaker 2: and I know people will point to the receivers and

896
00:45:43,640 --> 00:45:47,480
Speaker 2: drops and I get it, but for whatever reason, he's

897
00:45:47,520 --> 00:45:49,560
Speaker 2: now engineering an offense that seems to have a hard

898
00:45:49,600 --> 00:45:50,760
Speaker 2: time getting to twenty points.

899
00:45:51,280 --> 00:45:54,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, Mahomes doesn't get a passer either. He's supposed to

900
00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:58,439
Speaker 3: be the guy. And when you're the guy, we've seen

901
00:45:59,520 --> 00:46:03,560
Speaker 3: other the guys with less talent that then he has

902
00:46:03,840 --> 00:46:07,319
Speaker 3: at the wire re serial position still win and still

903
00:46:07,360 --> 00:46:08,880
Speaker 3: put up points. I mean, we can go back we

904
00:46:08,960 --> 00:46:11,400
Speaker 3: talk about we talked about Brady earlier. You tho some

905
00:46:11,480 --> 00:46:14,480
Speaker 3: of those days with New England or they were giving him,

906
00:46:14,600 --> 00:46:16,960
Speaker 3: you know, the bare minimum, and he will still have

907
00:46:17,120 --> 00:46:20,440
Speaker 3: those guys making plays and leading them and putting them

908
00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:22,960
Speaker 3: in positions to win. So I don't want to give

909
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:25,920
Speaker 3: him a pass just because guys, you know, his receiving

910
00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:29,600
Speaker 3: core isn't the same as it's been. So let's let's

911
00:46:29,640 --> 00:46:31,480
Speaker 3: also you know, put some of the blame on him

912
00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:33,719
Speaker 3: as well, because I think he's gotten to the point

913
00:46:33,760 --> 00:46:36,600
Speaker 3: now where it hasn't been as easy for him and

914
00:46:36,719 --> 00:46:39,800
Speaker 3: now he has to to play quarterback and it's just

915
00:46:39,960 --> 00:46:42,400
Speaker 3: not as easy as people make it to make it seems,

916
00:46:42,560 --> 00:46:45,640
Speaker 3: and even how he's made it look at certain points

917
00:46:45,719 --> 00:46:48,640
Speaker 3: during during his tenure so far. So you know, it's

918
00:46:49,400 --> 00:46:51,320
Speaker 3: it comes it comes to a point where as a

919
00:46:51,400 --> 00:46:54,080
Speaker 3: quarterback you have to evolve and you have to again

920
00:46:54,880 --> 00:46:56,600
Speaker 3: be a student of the game and be able to

921
00:46:56,680 --> 00:47:00,360
Speaker 3: put your players, other players, the players that are supposed

922
00:47:00,360 --> 00:47:02,719
Speaker 3: to be your wingman in positions to succeed as well.

923
00:47:02,800 --> 00:47:05,120
Speaker 3: So you know, that's that's kind of where I see it.

924
00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:09,399
Speaker 2: Best quarterbacks in the league this year, it's it's really

925
00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:14,600
Speaker 2: it's really rather easy. Lamar Jackson, yep, Brock Purdy yeah,

926
00:47:15,200 --> 00:47:17,600
Speaker 2: uh Tua yeah, CJ.

927
00:47:17,760 --> 00:47:21,240
Speaker 1: Stroud, I love it, And and probably Dak Prescott.

928
00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:22,879
Speaker 3: You can't can't.

929
00:47:22,920 --> 00:47:24,800
Speaker 2: There's your top five and I can't say and I

930
00:47:24,840 --> 00:47:26,160
Speaker 2: don't even think it's debatable.

931
00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:29,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, you can't say it's not. I mean you look

932
00:47:29,239 --> 00:47:31,560
Speaker 3: at you look at all those guys. We I know

933
00:47:31,880 --> 00:47:34,480
Speaker 3: the numbers can be you know, misleading sometime, but you

934
00:47:34,560 --> 00:47:36,520
Speaker 3: watch those guys, you see the numbers, see the output,

935
00:47:37,040 --> 00:47:39,080
Speaker 3: you see where their teams are in the standings, and

936
00:47:39,760 --> 00:47:42,920
Speaker 3: you can't you can't say they aren't the class the

937
00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:44,200
Speaker 3: class of the NFL this year.

938
00:47:45,120 --> 00:47:49,160
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm not a huge stat guy, but it's

939
00:47:49,200 --> 00:47:51,200
Speaker 2: a part of our of our world, and it does

940
00:47:51,320 --> 00:47:55,480
Speaker 2: tell you something. Those five guys I mentioned, those are

941
00:47:55,520 --> 00:47:57,840
Speaker 2: the five guys where a quarterback rating of one hundred

942
00:47:57,920 --> 00:47:58,239
Speaker 2: or higher.

943
00:47:58,360 --> 00:47:59,360
Speaker 3: Well that's that. That matters.

944
00:47:59,400 --> 00:47:59,759
Speaker 1: One other.

945
00:48:00,160 --> 00:48:03,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's one other, although he only played half a year,

946
00:48:03,360 --> 00:48:06,040
Speaker 2: and that's Kirk Cousins. Yeah, and uh, you know we

947
00:48:06,239 --> 00:48:08,960
Speaker 2: we we already know I think who Kirk Cousins is

948
00:48:09,120 --> 00:48:12,839
Speaker 2: and and uh and what his limitations are. But but yeah,

949
00:48:12,960 --> 00:48:16,200
Speaker 2: those those guys are those are the guys this year,

950
00:48:16,760 --> 00:48:20,600
Speaker 2: and largely Tua and brock At a little bit of

951
00:48:20,719 --> 00:48:24,400
Speaker 2: doc I think are the three that get the label

952
00:48:25,120 --> 00:48:29,080
Speaker 2: of just being these sort of like system distributors.

953
00:48:29,800 --> 00:48:31,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, and Mark, you know what you just said, they're

954
00:48:31,719 --> 00:48:34,359
Speaker 3: out of those guys you just named. We talk about

955
00:48:34,360 --> 00:48:37,280
Speaker 3: stats not being the only the only thing that matters,

956
00:48:37,320 --> 00:48:39,920
Speaker 3: which I agree, But the stat that does matter is

957
00:48:40,640 --> 00:48:42,400
Speaker 3: they're all number one in the DION in their in

958
00:48:42,480 --> 00:48:45,320
Speaker 3: their divisions. Yep, they're the top of the division. So

959
00:48:45,400 --> 00:48:47,880
Speaker 3: they're winning. They're doing something right. And I think again

960
00:48:48,040 --> 00:48:51,080
Speaker 3: we can give that label as a system, game game manager,

961
00:48:51,120 --> 00:48:53,759
Speaker 3: all those things you want. Give me that guy, the

962
00:48:53,800 --> 00:48:55,719
Speaker 3: guy that knows the system, knows how to get us

963
00:48:55,800 --> 00:48:59,840
Speaker 3: in the right play and occasionally can make make the

964
00:48:59,880 --> 00:49:02,239
Speaker 3: Superman play, which they all can. And I'll take that

965
00:49:02,320 --> 00:49:02,839
Speaker 3: guy any day.

966
00:49:03,480 --> 00:49:03,680
Speaker 1: Yeah.

967
00:49:04,680 --> 00:49:07,879
Speaker 2: I mean, and by the way, if the three other

968
00:49:07,960 --> 00:49:10,600
Speaker 2: names that we were talking about were sitting like right

969
00:49:10,800 --> 00:49:14,760
Speaker 2: behind him in some of these statistical categories, then you go, okay,

970
00:49:14,840 --> 00:49:16,360
Speaker 2: that's just kind of some of the ways that the

971
00:49:16,480 --> 00:49:18,160
Speaker 2: balls bounced this year.

972
00:49:19,080 --> 00:49:19,600
Speaker 1: But they're not.

973
00:49:19,840 --> 00:49:25,480
Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes is thirteenth in quarterback rating, Josh Allen is sixteenth,

974
00:49:26,040 --> 00:49:28,480
Speaker 2: Joe Burrow in his ten games, was eighteenth.

975
00:49:29,640 --> 00:49:31,680
Speaker 1: That's what these guys did this year.

976
00:49:32,040 --> 00:49:35,319
Speaker 2: And they are all let me make sure that I'm

977
00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:41,160
Speaker 2: right here, they are two three well, and of course

978
00:49:41,320 --> 00:49:43,759
Speaker 2: not fair because Burrow missed so much time. Yeah, but

979
00:49:43,920 --> 00:49:48,719
Speaker 2: Allen and Mahomes are two and three in interceptions this year.

980
00:49:50,719 --> 00:49:50,919
Speaker 1: Yeah.

981
00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:53,759
Speaker 3: No, the Burrow one is a little unfair because his

982
00:49:53,960 --> 00:49:55,960
Speaker 3: rating wouldn't have been as low if he wasn't hurt

983
00:49:56,040 --> 00:49:58,239
Speaker 3: to start the season high Field, no doubt, no doubt.

984
00:49:58,400 --> 00:49:59,960
Speaker 3: But the other two, Yeah, I mean, like I said,

985
00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:03,799
Speaker 3: Patrick has been put in the situation where he's had

986
00:50:03,880 --> 00:50:07,080
Speaker 3: to force things a little bit more than he had

987
00:50:07,120 --> 00:50:09,279
Speaker 3: to in the past, and trying to force it and

988
00:50:09,360 --> 00:50:12,560
Speaker 3: make plays, and he's made some terrible decisions. And obviously,

989
00:50:13,080 --> 00:50:15,000
Speaker 3: I mean Josh Allen has been a terrible machine, not

990
00:50:15,160 --> 00:50:18,200
Speaker 3: just interceptions but fumbles as well. So it's been it's

991
00:50:18,200 --> 00:50:19,239
Speaker 3: been a tough season for him.

992
00:50:20,400 --> 00:50:22,960
Speaker 2: He does have the Bills already across midfield as they

993
00:50:23,040 --> 00:50:26,920
Speaker 2: try to answer the Dolphins touchdown, and I'm with you

994
00:50:27,120 --> 00:50:29,279
Speaker 2: as they hand the ball to James Cook right now.

995
00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:32,839
Speaker 2: That's the guy that's kind of been a real key

996
00:50:33,440 --> 00:50:37,280
Speaker 2: to their resurgence here in the final month of the season,

997
00:50:37,400 --> 00:50:39,799
Speaker 2: and in a f out of the Bills, I would

998
00:50:39,880 --> 00:50:42,799
Speaker 2: look to get him a little bit more involved than

999
00:50:42,880 --> 00:50:45,719
Speaker 2: what they're doing. We're broadcasting live from the ty rack

1004
00:50:59,320 --> 00:51:02,840
Speaker 2: for Kyle Rude and I'm Mark Ward Fox Sports Sunday.

1005
00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:07,480
Speaker 2: So in just watching this one also allow us to

1006
00:51:07,600 --> 00:51:10,279
Speaker 2: daydream a little bit about the.

1007
00:51:10,400 --> 00:51:12,200
Speaker 1: Matchups that may come.

1008
00:51:13,000 --> 00:51:16,400
Speaker 2: As much as you've complimented the Dolphins and they do

1009
00:51:16,600 --> 00:51:20,520
Speaker 2: have the lead, there's one team in each conference that

1010
00:51:20,800 --> 00:51:24,680
Speaker 2: when they have to play another good team, especially if

1011
00:51:24,719 --> 00:51:28,959
Speaker 2: it's on the road, I got a big fat zero

1012
00:51:29,239 --> 00:51:32,800
Speaker 2: in terms of confidence in them, and it's the Miami

1013
00:51:32,880 --> 00:51:36,960
Speaker 2: Dolphins and the Dallas Cowboys. Those are the two teams

1014
00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:40,480
Speaker 2: that I think, situationally, things just need to be perfect

1015
00:51:40,840 --> 00:51:44,280
Speaker 2: for them to be at their best. So the Dolphins

1016
00:51:44,320 --> 00:51:48,239
Speaker 2: have the lead here and I would suggest they better win, yes,

1017
00:51:48,760 --> 00:51:52,359
Speaker 2: because even though Kansas City has not looked any bit

1018
00:51:52,560 --> 00:51:57,799
Speaker 2: of themselves of late, the Dolphins at Arrowhead all banged up,

1019
00:51:58,040 --> 00:51:59,680
Speaker 2: I think is a terrible matchup.

1020
00:52:00,040 --> 00:52:02,200
Speaker 3: It is, Yeah, the Dolphins. That's why I said it

1021
00:52:02,680 --> 00:52:04,400
Speaker 3: to lead off the show. They need to They need

1022
00:52:04,480 --> 00:52:07,719
Speaker 3: this win more more than Buffalo does. And I don't

1023
00:52:07,840 --> 00:52:11,480
Speaker 3: think Buffalo is as dangerous as people think they aren't.

1024
00:52:11,680 --> 00:52:14,000
Speaker 3: I mean, obviously yes, I mean they have weapons, and

1025
00:52:14,040 --> 00:52:15,520
Speaker 3: they can they can win a game, and they have

1026
00:52:16,400 --> 00:52:20,319
Speaker 3: you know, they have some I guess a little band

1027
00:52:20,400 --> 00:52:22,800
Speaker 3: with their of playoff games that they can go to

1028
00:52:22,920 --> 00:52:25,880
Speaker 3: and kind of you know, have that recollection of you know, success.

1029
00:52:26,040 --> 00:52:29,160
Speaker 3: But you know, Miami really needs this win. I need

1030
00:52:29,200 --> 00:52:30,719
Speaker 3: to play a home game, but they play on the road.

1031
00:52:31,560 --> 00:52:33,799
Speaker 3: I don't have any confidence in them either. So I'm

1032
00:52:33,920 --> 00:52:34,520
Speaker 3: right there with you.

1033
00:52:36,160 --> 00:52:38,880
Speaker 2: It looks like the Bills might might be ready to

1034
00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:42,120
Speaker 2: tie this one up on the most Josh Allen touchdown

1035
00:52:42,239 --> 00:52:45,840
Speaker 2: pass that I've ever seen in my life. After the conversation,

1036
00:52:46,040 --> 00:52:50,160
Speaker 2: we just had a ball that absolutely bounced directly off

1037
00:52:50,239 --> 00:52:50,480
Speaker 2: of I.

1038
00:52:50,520 --> 00:52:53,439
Speaker 1: Think a helmet and it went straight up in the air,

1039
00:52:53,960 --> 00:52:54,319
Speaker 1: only to.

1040
00:52:54,400 --> 00:52:56,960
Speaker 2: Have a Bills receiver tot tap in the back of

1041
00:52:57,000 --> 00:53:00,560
Speaker 2: the end zone and and bring it in and on review,

1042
00:53:01,040 --> 00:53:03,560
Speaker 2: this one looks like it's probably going to stand.

1043
00:53:03,719 --> 00:53:05,160
Speaker 1: So there you go.

1044
00:53:05,920 --> 00:53:09,040
Speaker 2: What Josh Allen was doing in the end zone was

1045
00:53:09,120 --> 00:53:12,880
Speaker 2: not working, So now just bouncing off somebody's helmet and

1046
00:53:13,040 --> 00:53:13,800
Speaker 2: take your chances.

1047
00:53:13,880 --> 00:53:14,839
Speaker 1: That seems to work better.

1048
00:53:15,000 --> 00:53:16,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it's got to be the circus variety

1049
00:53:16,960 --> 00:53:20,080
Speaker 3: for him to even be content with it. So there

1050
00:53:20,120 --> 00:53:20,320
Speaker 3: you go.

1051
00:53:21,440 --> 00:53:24,480
Speaker 1: Unbelievable, all right, and the extra point is good and

1052
00:53:24,719 --> 00:53:25,840
Speaker 1: so there we go.

1053
00:53:26,160 --> 00:53:26,520
Speaker 3: It is.

1054
00:53:27,239 --> 00:53:27,479
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1055
00:53:28,120 --> 00:53:30,719
Speaker 2: I'm looking at the replay now, yeahs right off of

1056
00:53:30,760 --> 00:53:33,879
Speaker 2: a dolphin pass, rusher's helmet, Bills tie the game.

1057
00:53:34,320 --> 00:53:36,279
Speaker 1: It's seven seven, all right.

1058
00:53:36,400 --> 00:53:38,920
Speaker 2: Coming up next, let's dive into the matchup that so

1059
00:53:39,040 --> 00:53:40,759
Speaker 2: many people want to talk about. I'd love to hear

1060
00:53:40,840 --> 00:53:44,800
Speaker 2: what you think, Carrie. Matt Stafford is going home. Jared Goff,

1061
00:53:44,880 --> 00:53:47,239
Speaker 2: we'll see his old coach. Let's take a look at

1062
00:53:47,280 --> 00:53:49,319
Speaker 2: that one. Coming up next on Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 1: It's the great Kerry Rhoads. I'm Mark Willard.

1069
00:54:08,120 --> 00:54:10,840
Speaker 2: Whatever you're doing, however, you're bringing us in here on

1070
00:54:10,960 --> 00:54:14,040
Speaker 2: this Sunday evening across our land. Happy New Year to you,

1071
00:54:14,200 --> 00:54:17,120
Speaker 2: and thank you for doing it with us. We're watching

1072
00:54:17,200 --> 00:54:20,840
Speaker 2: Bill's Dolphins. It's seven to seven, late first half. We

1073
00:54:20,960 --> 00:54:24,080
Speaker 2: will keep you posted there, Carrie. I tell you what,

1074
00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:29,120
Speaker 2: the Detroit Lions are easy to dismiss. And maybe it's

1075
00:54:29,120 --> 00:54:32,560
Speaker 2: because they're new. Maybe it's just because the Honolulu Blue

1076
00:54:32,640 --> 00:54:35,160
Speaker 2: were used to them being disappointing.

1077
00:54:36,040 --> 00:54:36,480
Speaker 1: I don't know.

1078
00:54:37,160 --> 00:54:40,920
Speaker 2: But with a new coach and a new attitude, and

1079
00:54:41,080 --> 00:54:45,240
Speaker 2: quite frankly, I would argue a record that's been ignored

1080
00:54:45,360 --> 00:54:48,640
Speaker 2: for a while. They're not just a twelve and five

1081
00:54:48,719 --> 00:54:52,080
Speaker 2: football team this year. They're also a team that finished

1082
00:54:52,160 --> 00:54:56,239
Speaker 2: last year eight in two, and so I go, that's

1083
00:54:56,320 --> 00:54:59,800
Speaker 2: a football team that's won twenty of its last t

1084
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:02,480
Speaker 2: twenty seven football games.

1085
00:55:03,440 --> 00:55:06,560
Speaker 1: So this idea that the Rams.

1086
00:55:06,520 --> 00:55:10,040
Speaker 2: Are gonna waltz into Detroit and win this football game

1087
00:55:10,120 --> 00:55:13,120
Speaker 2: next week, which I think is just I don't know,

1088
00:55:13,280 --> 00:55:16,520
Speaker 2: people feel like it's a birthright. Stafford has been there,

1089
00:55:16,560 --> 00:55:21,520
Speaker 2: and McVeigh has been there, playoff tested and Stafford against

1090
00:55:21,560 --> 00:55:25,279
Speaker 2: the Lions. So and they're they're the flavor of the month.

1091
00:55:25,400 --> 00:55:28,719
Speaker 2: They've been hot, they have Yeah, and so that's all great.

1092
00:55:30,280 --> 00:55:32,759
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, man, I think Detroit's winning that football game

1093
00:55:32,840 --> 00:55:36,120
Speaker 2: and they are being they are being unfairly dismissed.

1094
00:55:36,840 --> 00:55:39,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it happens. It happens in the football, it

1095
00:55:39,120 --> 00:55:41,440
Speaker 3: happens in any NFL mark. It's one of those things

1096
00:55:41,480 --> 00:55:44,759
Speaker 3: where you know a team can get hot and you

1097
00:55:44,840 --> 00:55:47,880
Speaker 3: know it's not like the NBA right where Detroit is

1098
00:55:47,920 --> 00:55:50,480
Speaker 3: the better team. You know, like the NBA. That's why

1099
00:55:51,600 --> 00:55:53,920
Speaker 3: they do the series right, because in the series, the

1100
00:55:54,000 --> 00:55:55,640
Speaker 3: better team is usually gonna win.

1101
00:55:55,800 --> 00:55:55,920
Speaker 8: Right.

1102
00:55:56,520 --> 00:55:59,879
Speaker 3: You're not gonna beat the number one seed two off

1103
00:56:00,080 --> 00:56:04,120
Speaker 3: and four times, and and and and pull off an upset.

1104
00:56:04,200 --> 00:56:07,439
Speaker 3: It's hard to do. But in the NFL one game,

1105
00:56:08,480 --> 00:56:10,799
Speaker 3: a couple of mistakes and you lose to that team,

1106
00:56:10,960 --> 00:56:12,719
Speaker 3: right when you know that you're the better team, but

1107
00:56:12,840 --> 00:56:15,239
Speaker 3: not better that day. And I think that comes into

1108
00:56:15,320 --> 00:56:18,279
Speaker 3: play a lot in in the NFL. But I'm with you.

1109
00:56:18,400 --> 00:56:21,520
Speaker 3: I think the I think the Lions are the better team.

1110
00:56:21,600 --> 00:56:25,239
Speaker 3: They've shown that over over a length of time that

1111
00:56:25,480 --> 00:56:28,000
Speaker 3: makes that statement to be true. But it's gonna be

1112
00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:30,760
Speaker 3: an interesting game. I think the storylines, all the stuff

1113
00:56:30,800 --> 00:56:32,759
Speaker 3: that you know that comes with this game is going

1114
00:56:32,840 --> 00:56:35,120
Speaker 3: to be big time. And so I'm just excited to

1115
00:56:35,160 --> 00:56:36,000
Speaker 3: be a fan and watch it.

1116
00:56:37,880 --> 00:56:40,680
Speaker 1: It's gonna be great. It's it's gonna be absolutely great.

1117
00:56:40,719 --> 00:56:44,360
Speaker 2: There are a handful of matchups that that we we

1118
00:56:44,600 --> 00:56:48,160
Speaker 2: already know, we know the whole NFC. We're just waiting

1119
00:56:48,239 --> 00:56:52,120
Speaker 2: on the AFC because of this game. But next week,

1120
00:56:52,520 --> 00:56:55,279
Speaker 2: the Buccaneers will host the Eagles. The Eagles are a

1121
00:56:55,360 --> 00:56:58,960
Speaker 2: three point favorite. The Lions will host the Rams. The

1122
00:56:59,120 --> 00:57:03,600
Speaker 2: Lions are three point favorite. The Cowboys will host the Packers.

1123
00:57:03,960 --> 00:57:08,200
Speaker 2: The Cowboys are a seven point favorite in those games.

1124
00:57:08,680 --> 00:57:11,240
Speaker 2: But before we look at some of the other ones,

1125
00:57:12,200 --> 00:57:15,040
Speaker 2: keep hitting me a little bit on the Lions and Rams.

1126
00:57:15,080 --> 00:57:17,760
Speaker 2: Here's another thing that I wonder about, and I again,

1127
00:57:18,240 --> 00:57:21,480
Speaker 2: Dan Campbell. With everything that's happened in the last eight days,

1128
00:57:22,320 --> 00:57:25,680
Speaker 2: the Cowboy game, the officials, you end up the three seed,

1129
00:57:25,800 --> 00:57:27,160
Speaker 2: You've lost Sam Laporta.

1130
00:57:27,480 --> 00:57:28,160
Speaker 1: I know you said.

1131
00:57:28,200 --> 00:57:30,720
Speaker 2: The report is that it's not as bad as feared,

1132
00:57:30,760 --> 00:57:33,800
Speaker 2: and that's true. However, Campbell did also say he's gonna

1133
00:57:33,800 --> 00:57:37,520
Speaker 2: miss some time. I'm not expecting Laporta to be ready

1134
00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:42,240
Speaker 2: in six or seven days to play in this football game.

1135
00:57:42,840 --> 00:57:46,560
Speaker 2: But I also look at the Rams situation, and sometimes

1136
00:57:47,040 --> 00:57:50,439
Speaker 2: when you've got to press that hard for that long

1137
00:57:51,160 --> 00:57:54,880
Speaker 2: to get to a spot When you get there, it's

1138
00:57:55,160 --> 00:57:59,480
Speaker 2: just incredibly human to take a breath.

1139
00:58:00,400 --> 00:58:03,080
Speaker 1: And they made it. They made it, they got it,

1140
00:58:03,680 --> 00:58:04,680
Speaker 1: they achieved it.

1141
00:58:05,080 --> 00:58:07,560
Speaker 2: They even got the matchup that they think they want,

1142
00:58:08,520 --> 00:58:12,280
Speaker 2: and I just think it's gonna be tough for them

1143
00:58:12,640 --> 00:58:17,160
Speaker 2: to summon the energy that's gonna be necessary to keep

1144
00:58:17,240 --> 00:58:20,440
Speaker 2: it at a high level. And you're also going up

1145
00:58:20,960 --> 00:58:23,960
Speaker 2: against a home environment that's gonna be built by a

1146
00:58:24,080 --> 00:58:26,960
Speaker 2: fan base that is dying for this moment.

1147
00:58:27,280 --> 00:58:27,480
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1148
00:58:27,600 --> 00:58:29,680
Speaker 3: No, I agree with you there. The one thing I

1149
00:58:29,840 --> 00:58:35,600
Speaker 3: costing Lions fans in this game is I'm gonna throw

1150
00:58:35,640 --> 00:58:38,920
Speaker 3: a team out to you. I gotta make sure I

1151
00:58:38,960 --> 00:58:39,640
Speaker 3: get this year right.

1152
00:58:39,800 --> 00:58:40,160
Speaker 2: It was.

1153
00:58:41,640 --> 00:58:46,360
Speaker 3: Two thousand and eight. It was a team that got

1154
00:58:46,440 --> 00:58:51,720
Speaker 3: hot down the stretch. They you know, high flying offense

1155
00:58:52,080 --> 00:58:53,840
Speaker 3: even though the Rams I wouldn't say it's a high

1156
00:58:53,880 --> 00:58:57,920
Speaker 3: flying offense, a really good offense, and got hot at

1157
00:58:57,920 --> 00:58:59,560
Speaker 3: the right time, made it all the way to the

1158
00:58:59,600 --> 00:59:04,040
Speaker 3: Super Bowl. Lost, unlike the last play of the Super Bowl.

1159
00:59:04,160 --> 00:59:07,480
Speaker 3: But it was Arizona Cardinals back in two thousand and eight, right,

1160
00:59:07,600 --> 00:59:10,320
Speaker 3: they got hot. Nobody really expected them to, you know,

1161
00:59:11,120 --> 00:59:12,840
Speaker 3: to win. You know just what you say. I think

1162
00:59:12,840 --> 00:59:14,640
Speaker 3: they would probably run out of gas and go down.

1163
00:59:14,680 --> 00:59:17,160
Speaker 3: As you know, it'd be a success for the Arizona

1164
00:59:17,200 --> 00:59:19,240
Speaker 3: Cardinals to make the playoffs, and I think it kind

1165
00:59:19,280 --> 00:59:23,520
Speaker 3: of it. Kind of this story, this narrative lens to

1166
00:59:23,600 --> 00:59:25,560
Speaker 3: the Rams as well, but because I think come into

1167
00:59:25,600 --> 00:59:28,200
Speaker 3: the year, nobody really thought the Rams would do anything.

1168
00:59:28,240 --> 00:59:29,880
Speaker 3: I think there was a lot of talk about them

1169
00:59:30,600 --> 00:59:32,440
Speaker 3: being in the top five of the lottery. I mean,

1170
00:59:32,720 --> 00:59:34,480
Speaker 3: you know what I mean, and as far as picks go,

1171
00:59:34,680 --> 00:59:36,880
Speaker 3: so for them to get hot the way they have,

1172
00:59:37,160 --> 00:59:39,600
Speaker 3: I could see them having a run like that. But

1173
00:59:39,720 --> 00:59:41,680
Speaker 3: I do believe that the Lions are the better team,

1174
00:59:41,720 --> 00:59:43,720
Speaker 3: and it's just if the Lions come out and do

1175
00:59:43,840 --> 00:59:45,880
Speaker 3: what they're supposed to and handle business, they will get

1176
00:59:45,880 --> 00:59:46,120
Speaker 3: to win.

1177
00:59:47,720 --> 00:59:49,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree with you.

1178
00:59:49,440 --> 00:59:53,160
Speaker 2: I think they've been underrated largely on both sides of

1179
00:59:53,160 --> 00:59:55,920
Speaker 2: the ball. Like I even like their defense a little bit.

1180
00:59:56,000 --> 00:59:59,560
Speaker 2: The Rams, look, they've they've got players, and Kyron Williams

1181
00:59:59,640 --> 01:00:01,840
Speaker 2: is going to be a problem and that receiving core

1182
01:00:02,560 --> 01:00:05,720
Speaker 2: is a problem all the way across the board. But

1183
01:00:06,040 --> 01:00:07,680
Speaker 2: you know what, let me ask you this, because this

1184
01:00:07,880 --> 01:00:10,000
Speaker 2: is a game that's also as we said, it's filled

1185
01:00:10,040 --> 01:00:14,680
Speaker 2: with emotion. But sometimes I wonder if we overrate and

1186
01:00:14,840 --> 01:00:17,880
Speaker 2: overstate that, because that's kind of where our minds are.

1187
01:00:18,080 --> 01:00:22,200
Speaker 2: Like we're fans, so we we we sit around and go,

1188
01:00:22,360 --> 01:00:26,080
Speaker 2: oh my gosh, it's it's Stafford in Detroit while golf

1189
01:00:26,200 --> 01:00:30,520
Speaker 2: goes against McVeigh. This is amazing and uh and and

1190
01:00:30,680 --> 01:00:35,520
Speaker 2: so we've got all of this intrigue involved. But when

1191
01:00:35,600 --> 01:00:40,320
Speaker 2: you're on the field, how much of that kind of

1192
01:00:40,640 --> 01:00:43,680
Speaker 2: energy and emotion has any effect.

1193
01:00:43,400 --> 01:00:46,560
Speaker 1: At all on what actually plays out?

1194
01:00:47,280 --> 01:00:51,320
Speaker 3: None. Once the game starts, you got to lay them

1195
01:00:51,400 --> 01:00:53,800
Speaker 3: up and play, and you got to execute. You got

1196
01:00:53,920 --> 01:00:56,680
Speaker 3: to do all the things that you've been drilled to

1197
01:00:56,840 --> 01:01:00,280
Speaker 3: do throughout the week. I mean, obviously the storyline are

1198
01:01:00,280 --> 01:01:02,960
Speaker 3: going to be great. They're gonna be asked about, they're

1199
01:01:02,960 --> 01:01:05,240
Speaker 3: gonna be talked about. You know, all that stuff makes

1200
01:01:05,320 --> 01:01:08,320
Speaker 3: for good TV, good radio, and you know, for us

1201
01:01:08,400 --> 01:01:12,960
Speaker 3: it's it's exciting. But you know, Stafford's not trying to

1202
01:01:13,000 --> 01:01:15,160
Speaker 3: beat the Lions because he played for the Lions. He's

1203
01:01:15,160 --> 01:01:17,080
Speaker 3: trying to beat the Lions because that's the team that's

1204
01:01:17,080 --> 01:01:19,479
Speaker 3: in front of him. Obviously, there's gonna be there's gonna

1205
01:01:19,480 --> 01:01:23,080
Speaker 3: be connections that are you know, life lifelong connections that

1206
01:01:23,320 --> 01:01:25,760
Speaker 3: that are that he's made there and it'll be fun

1207
01:01:25,800 --> 01:01:28,520
Speaker 3: to see people, but once the game starts, none of

1208
01:01:28,600 --> 01:01:30,280
Speaker 3: that matters. All that's out the window and you got

1209
01:01:30,360 --> 01:01:32,840
Speaker 3: to beat the Lions, and the Lions gotta beat the Rams,

1210
01:01:32,880 --> 01:01:33,400
Speaker 3: and that's really it.

1211
01:01:34,360 --> 01:01:37,040
Speaker 2: Is there a coaching edge though for McVeigh, just because

1212
01:01:38,320 --> 01:01:40,160
Speaker 2: he has been there and because he.

1213
01:01:40,240 --> 01:01:42,080
Speaker 1: Knows Jared Goff so well, oh for.

1214
01:01:42,280 --> 01:01:46,000
Speaker 3: Sure, yeah, for sure, yeah, no, he definitely is gonna

1215
01:01:46,040 --> 01:01:50,680
Speaker 3: know some tendencies of golfs. It's gonna help him. But again,

1216
01:01:50,800 --> 01:01:52,560
Speaker 3: this is a totally different offense. I mean, this is

1217
01:01:52,760 --> 01:01:55,840
Speaker 3: an offense where you know, it's it's it's similar to

1218
01:01:56,000 --> 01:01:57,640
Speaker 3: what he did in the Rams. You know, they want

1219
01:01:57,640 --> 01:01:59,160
Speaker 3: to run the ball, they want to play action, they

1220
01:01:59,200 --> 01:02:02,960
Speaker 3: want to take shots. It's similar and I guess the

1221
01:02:03,120 --> 01:02:07,360
Speaker 3: mechanics of it, but it's still different. I mean the Lions,

1222
01:02:08,200 --> 01:02:09,880
Speaker 3: the running backs they have there. I mean obviously the

1223
01:02:09,960 --> 01:02:13,080
Speaker 3: Ramsad Gurley doing that stretch, but they have two studs.

1224
01:02:13,440 --> 01:02:16,280
Speaker 3: I mean, they have two guys that are that you

1225
01:02:16,440 --> 01:02:19,400
Speaker 3: can't They're gonna have to stop them. They can't just

1226
01:02:19,560 --> 01:02:21,280
Speaker 3: key in on golf. So it's going to be interesting

1227
01:02:21,320 --> 01:02:23,520
Speaker 3: to see the chess match that happens.

1228
01:02:24,360 --> 01:02:27,320
Speaker 2: I see them as as pretty similar teams in the

1229
01:02:27,360 --> 01:02:29,600
Speaker 2: way they're building. I mean, they both got uh they

1230
01:02:29,720 --> 01:02:33,960
Speaker 2: both got these really good receiving corps and at a

1231
01:02:34,040 --> 01:02:36,840
Speaker 2: short passing game with a I don't want to call

1232
01:02:36,880 --> 01:02:40,240
Speaker 2: them immobile, but quarterback, these are pocket passers. Yes, I

1233
01:02:40,360 --> 01:02:42,080
Speaker 2: want the ball out of their hand. They both have

1234
01:02:42,520 --> 01:02:45,200
Speaker 2: a stud rookie running back. I think this game is

1235
01:02:45,240 --> 01:02:46,920
Speaker 2: won though, because Detroit's.

1236
01:02:46,480 --> 01:02:49,200
Speaker 1: Defense is better. That's that's to me. That's that's where

1237
01:02:49,280 --> 01:02:50,480
Speaker 1: this football game gets won.

1238
01:02:50,560 --> 01:02:52,680
Speaker 3: Well, the Lions defense has been a little bit consistent.

1239
01:02:52,720 --> 01:02:54,680
Speaker 3: I mean down the stretch, they haven't. They haven't been

1240
01:02:54,760 --> 01:02:56,600
Speaker 3: as good as they were down I mean in the

1241
01:02:56,640 --> 01:02:58,720
Speaker 3: beginning of the year. The beginning of the year they

1242
01:02:58,760 --> 01:03:01,320
Speaker 3: were really really good. I know, there has some injuries here,

1243
01:03:01,360 --> 01:03:04,880
Speaker 3: and even even you know the way that they pressured

1244
01:03:04,920 --> 01:03:06,840
Speaker 3: the quarterback early in the season, they haven't been doing

1245
01:03:06,920 --> 01:03:09,400
Speaker 3: that down the stretch. So they're gonna have to get

1246
01:03:09,440 --> 01:03:11,520
Speaker 3: back to that to win this game. Because if Stafford

1247
01:03:11,640 --> 01:03:14,360
Speaker 3: has a clean pocket and he feels comfortable, you know

1248
01:03:14,440 --> 01:03:16,200
Speaker 3: he can deal. So we'll see, we'll.

1249
01:03:16,000 --> 01:03:21,040
Speaker 2: See Tyreek Hill touchdown. We'll see if review holds up.

1250
01:03:21,120 --> 01:03:23,440
Speaker 2: But it looks like he had it in the end

1251
01:03:23,520 --> 01:03:25,960
Speaker 2: zone right before he went out of bounds.

1252
01:03:26,040 --> 01:03:28,320
Speaker 1: And this is with just under two minutes to go.

1253
01:03:28,840 --> 01:03:32,320
Speaker 2: Until halftime, So it looks like the Dolphins have moved

1254
01:03:32,400 --> 01:03:35,000
Speaker 2: back in front. We've got other NFC matchups and one

1255
01:03:35,040 --> 01:03:37,840
Speaker 2: AFC matchup that we know about to go over. Will

1256
01:03:37,920 --> 01:03:40,400
Speaker 2: do that coming up in just a few But now

1257
01:03:40,480 --> 01:03:43,200
Speaker 2: let's get Nick Coping here with the latest on everything

1258
01:03:43,280 --> 01:03:45,160
Speaker 2: that's gone on and is going on.

1259
01:03:45,600 --> 01:03:47,560
Speaker 4: All right, guys, Well, he did just learn listen to

1260
01:03:47,640 --> 01:03:52,160
Speaker 4: the TV broadcast. We're apparently gonna have the schedule at

1261
01:03:52,240 --> 01:03:55,000
Speaker 4: halftime where we're gonna learn where the matchups are gonna

1262
01:03:55,000 --> 01:03:58,240
Speaker 4: be oriented. So even though there's still some variables with

1263
01:03:58,360 --> 01:04:00,720
Speaker 4: this game going on right now, they're gonna map it

1264
01:04:00,800 --> 01:04:03,080
Speaker 4: all out for us and so we'll be able to

1265
01:04:03,120 --> 01:04:05,800
Speaker 4: really dive in and see all the matchups and where

1266
01:04:05,840 --> 01:04:08,280
Speaker 4: all they land coming up at halftime. So it is

1267
01:04:08,360 --> 01:04:11,480
Speaker 4: now fourteen to seven in favor the Dolphins. Tyreek Kill.

1268
01:04:11,840 --> 01:04:14,840
Speaker 4: He's got four catches for over fifty yards and a touchdown.

1269
01:04:14,920 --> 01:04:18,080
Speaker 4: Devon a Chan had the touchdown run earlier. He's got

1270
01:04:18,160 --> 01:04:20,280
Speaker 4: fifty five yards on the ground to a tongue of

1271
01:04:20,320 --> 01:04:24,680
Speaker 4: Iiloa one touchdown pass and one interception. Josh Allen he

1272
01:04:24,800 --> 01:04:26,880
Speaker 4: is throwing a touchdown pass, but he's been picked off

1273
01:04:26,960 --> 01:04:30,240
Speaker 4: twice today. Also for the Bills, that receiver Gabe Davis.

1274
01:04:30,320 --> 01:04:33,280
Speaker 4: He limped off with the knee injury and is questionable

1275
01:04:33,400 --> 01:04:36,200
Speaker 4: to return. So the winner of this game they get

1276
01:04:36,240 --> 01:04:39,520
Speaker 4: the AFC East title and the number two seed Buffalo loses,

1277
01:04:39,560 --> 01:04:41,680
Speaker 4: they get the seven seed. We'll have a rematch next

1278
01:04:41,720 --> 01:04:44,080
Speaker 4: week between these two teams. If the Dolphins are on

1279
01:04:44,120 --> 01:04:46,560
Speaker 4: the losing side, they'll be the sixth seed face the Chiefs.

1280
01:04:46,800 --> 01:04:48,840
Speaker 4: We do know one matchup in the AFC for sure,

1281
01:04:48,920 --> 01:04:51,200
Speaker 4: that's the Texans hosting the Browns in the four to

1282
01:04:51,320 --> 01:04:53,840
Speaker 4: five and the NFC, as you guys have talked about,

1283
01:04:53,880 --> 01:04:57,880
Speaker 4: those matchups are sent Dolphins hosting the Packers. Green Bay

1284
01:04:57,920 --> 01:05:01,320
Speaker 4: had to beat the Bears earlier today that final playoff spot.

1285
01:05:01,360 --> 01:05:02,960
Speaker 3: They got it done seventeen to nine.

1286
01:05:03,000 --> 01:05:05,920
Speaker 4: Matt Lafleur now ten to zero against Chicago in his

1287
01:05:06,040 --> 01:05:09,320
Speaker 4: time as Green Bay's head coach. Matthew Stafford getting set

1288
01:05:09,360 --> 01:05:12,000
Speaker 4: to make his return to Detroit. The ramstake on the Lions.

1289
01:05:12,360 --> 01:05:14,520
Speaker 4: LA had to beat the forty nine Ers today twenty

1290
01:05:14,560 --> 01:05:16,800
Speaker 4: one to twenty to clinch that number six seed, or

1291
01:05:16,840 --> 01:05:19,440
Speaker 4: else they would toggle down to the seven seed. Otherwise,

1292
01:05:19,880 --> 01:05:22,760
Speaker 4: Bucks will host the Eagles in the four to five matchup,

1293
01:05:23,080 --> 01:05:26,480
Speaker 4: and Philly with a number of injury concerns. NFL Meter

1294
01:05:26,600 --> 01:05:29,880
Speaker 4: reports Roocky safety Sydney Brown is believed to have torn

1295
01:05:29,920 --> 01:05:33,040
Speaker 4: as acl aj Brown, the receiver he left with the

1296
01:05:33,120 --> 01:05:35,920
Speaker 4: knee injury, but NFL media says it's not believed to

1297
01:05:36,000 --> 01:05:38,560
Speaker 4: be serious. And then, of course Jalen Hurts he left

1298
01:05:38,600 --> 01:05:41,560
Speaker 4: the game and later returned with a finger injury. Had

1299
01:05:41,600 --> 01:05:43,880
Speaker 4: that finger wrapped up. Hurt said after the game that

1300
01:05:44,080 --> 01:05:47,040
Speaker 4: it popped out in describing what happened to his finger,

1301
01:05:47,440 --> 01:05:49,000
Speaker 4: and at this point he said he's just going to

1302
01:05:49,080 --> 01:05:51,440
Speaker 4: take it day by day. And finally the top of

1303
01:05:51,480 --> 01:05:53,520
Speaker 4: the draft order is set. We know the Bears will

1304
01:05:53,520 --> 01:05:56,360
Speaker 4: pick first, that pick via the Carolina Panthers, and then

1305
01:05:56,400 --> 01:06:00,400
Speaker 4: after that the Commander's second, Patriots third, Cardinals four, and

1306
01:06:00,560 --> 01:06:03,680
Speaker 4: the Chargers will pick fifth. Mark Wielerd carry roads back

1307
01:06:03,720 --> 01:06:04,160
Speaker 4: to you guys.

1308
01:06:04,760 --> 01:06:08,000
Speaker 2: Okay, Nick, great stuff, Thank you so much, Live tire

1309
01:06:08,120 --> 01:06:11,760
Speaker 2: rack dot Com Studios. I tell you what I think,

1310
01:06:11,840 --> 01:06:15,040
Speaker 2: Jayalen Hurts, the wonderful football player, I really do, And

1311
01:06:15,160 --> 01:06:17,680
Speaker 2: I don't even know what he's been dealing with all year.

1312
01:06:18,120 --> 01:06:20,360
Speaker 2: As far as that knee, we keep hearing about, but

1313
01:06:20,440 --> 01:06:23,880
Speaker 2: it doesn't seem to show itself in games. He's able

1314
01:06:23,920 --> 01:06:26,760
Speaker 2: to move around pretty well well enough. He's certainly able

1315
01:06:26,800 --> 01:06:29,040
Speaker 2: to pull off the tush push and all of that.

1316
01:06:30,240 --> 01:06:33,520
Speaker 2: But with this finger situation, Carrie, I'm sure you've done it.

1317
01:06:33,600 --> 01:06:36,560
Speaker 2: When you dislocate a finger and then pop it back

1318
01:06:36,600 --> 01:06:39,720
Speaker 2: into place, it's not just like cool, now my finger's

1319
01:06:39,760 --> 01:06:43,040
Speaker 2: back in place like that thing. It could be broken.

1320
01:06:43,480 --> 01:06:47,120
Speaker 2: It swells up like crazy. This is a quarterback that

1321
01:06:48,000 --> 01:06:51,000
Speaker 2: we're talking about. Ye, And so they head on the

1322
01:06:51,120 --> 01:06:54,280
Speaker 2: road to Tampa, and I know Tampa in theory doesn't

1323
01:06:54,320 --> 01:06:58,720
Speaker 2: really scare anyone, but man, you know, Baker has been

1324
01:06:59,280 --> 01:07:02,920
Speaker 2: kind of sneak good this year, and the Eagles are

1325
01:07:03,000 --> 01:07:06,000
Speaker 2: already just they've been awful the last six weeks. They've

1326
01:07:06,040 --> 01:07:10,440
Speaker 2: been absolutely awful. And now from Sydney Brown to A. J.

1327
01:07:10,640 --> 01:07:14,760
Speaker 2: Brown to Jalen Hurts, who's showing up for this game?

1328
01:07:16,120 --> 01:07:19,200
Speaker 3: You know what, Mark, if it was any team they

1329
01:07:19,240 --> 01:07:22,640
Speaker 3: were playing outside of Tampa Bay, I think they lose

1330
01:07:22,720 --> 01:07:25,439
Speaker 3: this game. And I'm not saying they won't lose because

1331
01:07:25,440 --> 01:07:28,640
Speaker 3: they I mean, they quite possibly could. But if it

1332
01:07:28,880 --> 01:07:31,240
Speaker 3: was any other of the playoff teams that are in

1333
01:07:31,320 --> 01:07:33,880
Speaker 3: the playoffs right now, they lose that game for sure.

1334
01:07:34,480 --> 01:07:38,520
Speaker 3: So's it's actually crazy for me to kind of think

1335
01:07:38,560 --> 01:07:41,120
Speaker 3: about right now, the fact that they've played so bad

1336
01:07:41,120 --> 01:07:43,120
Speaker 3: and they still kind of fell in the place where

1337
01:07:44,040 --> 01:07:46,520
Speaker 3: they could win a game and then you know, once

1338
01:07:46,600 --> 01:07:48,360
Speaker 3: you win one, you could pick up, you know, some

1339
01:07:48,440 --> 01:07:51,240
Speaker 3: momentum and keep going. But yeah, I mean, something like

1340
01:07:51,320 --> 01:07:53,040
Speaker 3: we said, like we said earlier, something's not right with

1341
01:07:53,120 --> 01:07:55,800
Speaker 3: this team, and you know, the injuries are starting to

1342
01:07:55,840 --> 01:07:58,040
Speaker 3: pile up as well, and they just don't They're not

1343
01:07:58,200 --> 01:07:59,720
Speaker 3: right and they're not in a good place. So it's

1344
01:07:59,720 --> 01:08:03,360
Speaker 3: gonna be interesting to see how what team shows up

1345
01:08:03,520 --> 01:08:04,960
Speaker 3: or like you said, who's going to show up to

1346
01:08:04,960 --> 01:08:06,400
Speaker 3: play this game against the Buccaneers.

1347
01:08:07,040 --> 01:08:08,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I wonder.

1348
01:08:08,520 --> 01:08:11,600
Speaker 2: I wonder, Like I mean, I I think there's a chance, uh,

1349
01:08:11,800 --> 01:08:14,560
Speaker 2: especially with how out of sync that offense has already been.

1350
01:08:15,000 --> 01:08:18,280
Speaker 2: If Jalon Hurts has any difficulty throwing the ball, I

1351
01:08:18,400 --> 01:08:21,320
Speaker 2: think that entire offense could be so compromised to the

1352
01:08:21,400 --> 01:08:26,280
Speaker 2: point where, yes, even Tampa Bay can can can take

1353
01:08:26,360 --> 01:08:26,960
Speaker 2: them down.

1354
01:08:26,880 --> 01:08:29,560
Speaker 1: Next week, but uh, we'll circle back to that.

1355
01:08:30,080 --> 01:08:32,800
Speaker 2: As Nick was rolling through the matchups already in place,

1356
01:08:33,520 --> 01:08:37,040
Speaker 2: he mentioned that Cleveland will be at Houston and Carrie,

1357
01:08:37,080 --> 01:08:37,519
Speaker 2: you made.

1358
01:08:37,400 --> 01:08:39,720
Speaker 3: A noise seeing you just made another one more time?

1359
01:08:40,320 --> 01:08:44,880
Speaker 2: Our Cleveland will be at Houston. Yeah, and and and

1360
01:08:45,160 --> 01:08:47,280
Speaker 2: so what's that about? Like, what are you reacting to

1361
01:08:47,439 --> 01:08:48,120
Speaker 2: in that matchup?

1362
01:08:48,120 --> 01:08:52,000
Speaker 3: Cleveland's my sleeper, Okay, I mean, I think Houston's been

1363
01:08:52,320 --> 01:08:57,960
Speaker 3: a great success story. My former high school teammate Demico Ryans,

1364
01:08:58,200 --> 01:09:01,240
Speaker 3: He's done the heck of job out there in Houston,

1365
01:09:01,720 --> 01:09:04,040
Speaker 3: and it's just it's been a beautiful story to see.

1366
01:09:04,120 --> 01:09:08,320
Speaker 3: To see c J. Stroud have all the adversity coming

1367
01:09:08,360 --> 01:09:11,400
Speaker 3: into this year. I mean people talking about his wonderlick

1368
01:09:11,439 --> 01:09:13,479
Speaker 3: scores and his IQ, can he process?

1369
01:09:14,880 --> 01:09:15,679
Speaker 1: Is he the right pick?

1370
01:09:15,960 --> 01:09:17,559
Speaker 3: You know, all these things For him to come out

1371
01:09:17,600 --> 01:09:19,840
Speaker 3: and play the way he played this year, man, it's

1372
01:09:19,880 --> 01:09:24,439
Speaker 3: just been nothing short of just remarkable. So I love

1373
01:09:24,520 --> 01:09:27,200
Speaker 3: the story. But you know what story I love a

1374
01:09:27,240 --> 01:09:30,519
Speaker 3: little bit better than that. It's Flocko coming off the

1375
01:09:30,600 --> 01:09:33,799
Speaker 3: couch and going in there and writing the ship for Cleveland.

1376
01:09:33,840 --> 01:09:36,040
Speaker 3: I mean, that team is going to be dangerous. He's

1377
01:09:36,120 --> 01:09:39,120
Speaker 3: not scared. He's been there before. That defense is top

1378
01:09:39,200 --> 01:09:41,800
Speaker 3: notch anyway, And so you talk about getting hot and

1379
01:09:41,920 --> 01:09:43,880
Speaker 3: being able to win some games in the playoffs, and

1380
01:09:44,400 --> 01:09:46,680
Speaker 3: next thing you know, they have a chance to do

1381
01:09:46,840 --> 01:09:49,479
Speaker 3: something historic. I think Cleveland is one of those teams.

1382
01:09:50,840 --> 01:09:54,400
Speaker 2: I tell you what, nothing but respect for both of

1383
01:09:54,520 --> 01:09:56,479
Speaker 2: these squads. I think they're going to finish one and

1384
01:09:56,560 --> 01:09:59,879
Speaker 2: two in the Coach of the Year vote. Yep, Stefans

1385
01:10:00,160 --> 01:10:04,360
Speaker 2: and Demico Ryans. I agree with you on that one completely.

1386
01:10:05,520 --> 01:10:09,479
Speaker 1: And they're both great stories. They have both I don't

1387
01:10:09,520 --> 01:10:10,280
Speaker 1: necessarily love.

1388
01:10:10,240 --> 01:10:12,519
Speaker 2: This word, they probably wouldn't love it, but they've both

1389
01:10:12,640 --> 01:10:16,679
Speaker 2: overachieved with what they've had to deal with. Stroud miss time,

1390
01:10:17,160 --> 01:10:20,080
Speaker 2: Tank Dell goes out, they're a young, young team.

1391
01:10:20,920 --> 01:10:23,920
Speaker 1: And then Cleveland four quarterbacks? Are you kidding me?

1392
01:10:24,600 --> 01:10:28,479
Speaker 2: Four quarterbacks? And you pop out with eleven wins. So

1393
01:10:29,040 --> 01:10:33,800
Speaker 2: all of it is really really good stuff. But what

1394
01:10:34,000 --> 01:10:37,599
Speaker 2: if I said to you that the Flacco thing, Yes,

1395
01:10:38,000 --> 01:10:43,040
Speaker 2: great story, nothing but respect, but are we a little

1396
01:10:43,160 --> 01:10:46,360
Speaker 2: over our skis as far as the talking points?

1397
01:10:47,120 --> 01:10:49,240
Speaker 1: Because Flacco came in.

1398
01:10:49,600 --> 01:10:53,160
Speaker 2: He threw for over three hundred yards in each of

1399
01:10:53,280 --> 01:10:58,920
Speaker 2: the four victories that he engineered However, in those five

1400
01:10:59,040 --> 01:11:02,519
Speaker 2: games that he played, this got totally swept under the

1401
01:11:02,600 --> 01:11:05,920
Speaker 2: rug because of the results.

1402
01:11:06,080 --> 01:11:09,640
Speaker 1: The fact that they were winning. Quite frankly, it was

1403
01:11:09,720 --> 01:11:14,280
Speaker 1: a pretty soft schedule. He get picked off eight times,

1404
01:11:14,400 --> 01:11:16,400
Speaker 1: yes he did. He threw eight.

1405
01:11:16,920 --> 01:11:19,519
Speaker 2: He did not play a game where he didn't throw

1406
01:11:19,600 --> 01:11:23,599
Speaker 2: an interception. So I'll say it right now.

1407
01:11:24,640 --> 01:11:26,160
Speaker 1: I like Houston in this game.

1408
01:11:26,479 --> 01:11:28,720
Speaker 3: Okay, I like I like the Houston.

1409
01:11:28,439 --> 01:11:31,360
Speaker 1: Texans in this football game.

1410
01:11:32,000 --> 01:11:34,760
Speaker 2: And I think the Flacco story is a really good

1411
01:11:34,800 --> 01:11:36,759
Speaker 2: one that comes to it at next weekend.

1412
01:11:36,960 --> 01:11:38,680
Speaker 3: Well you know what I said. I mean, him coming

1413
01:11:38,720 --> 01:11:42,000
Speaker 3: off the couchs off the streets. It just gives all

1414
01:11:42,160 --> 01:11:44,360
Speaker 3: us former players hope.

1415
01:11:44,560 --> 01:11:44,960
Speaker 1: You know what I mean.

1416
01:11:45,080 --> 01:11:47,599
Speaker 3: We always think we can watch the game and we're

1417
01:11:47,680 --> 01:11:49,880
Speaker 3: like like, yeah I could. I think I could do

1418
01:11:50,000 --> 01:11:52,080
Speaker 3: that to steal at forty one, Yeah, I think I

1419
01:11:52,120 --> 01:11:54,400
Speaker 3: can go take a drop and give me a couple

1420
01:11:54,439 --> 01:11:56,120
Speaker 3: of picks. So, you know, for him to go out

1421
01:11:56,160 --> 01:11:58,479
Speaker 3: there and play that way and make a lot of

1422
01:11:58,680 --> 01:12:01,760
Speaker 3: you know, make a lot of touchdowns, and like I said,

1423
01:12:01,880 --> 01:12:04,040
Speaker 3: right that ship, it's just been a beautiful story for me.

1424
01:12:04,120 --> 01:12:05,920
Speaker 3: But you're right, I mean, he has throwing picks, but

1425
01:12:06,040 --> 01:12:09,160
Speaker 3: I think that's the part of him that they've kind

1426
01:12:09,160 --> 01:12:12,760
Speaker 3: of had to live with, right, He's not afraid, and

1427
01:12:13,080 --> 01:12:15,759
Speaker 3: a lot of those guys are afraid to make mistakes.

1428
01:12:16,080 --> 01:12:16,400
Speaker 3: He's not.

1429
01:12:17,120 --> 01:12:17,719
Speaker 1: And I think.

1430
01:12:17,800 --> 01:12:22,040
Speaker 3: There's some positivity to that, and there's a negative side

1431
01:12:22,080 --> 01:12:24,160
Speaker 3: to that as well. And so if he gets into

1432
01:12:24,200 --> 01:12:26,120
Speaker 3: a situation where he throws one at the bad time,

1433
01:12:26,200 --> 01:12:26,760
Speaker 3: they can lose.

1434
01:12:26,880 --> 01:12:29,160
Speaker 9: But for the most part, they've been winning. So you

1435
01:12:29,240 --> 01:12:33,120
Speaker 9: got to give him Credit's got something, Yeah, no doubt

1436
01:12:33,160 --> 01:12:35,240
Speaker 9: about it. And these two played just a couple of

1437
01:12:35,320 --> 01:12:37,920
Speaker 9: weeks ago, but of course CJ. Stroud was not in

1438
01:12:38,080 --> 01:12:41,040
Speaker 9: the game. Nick Cope joins us again with something on

1439
01:12:41,560 --> 01:12:43,040
Speaker 9: this discussion. Hey, Nick, what's up?

1440
01:12:43,280 --> 01:12:45,920
Speaker 4: Well, I just we're getting some of the game times

1441
01:12:45,960 --> 01:12:48,000
Speaker 4: trickling in, So I thought you guys might like to

1442
01:12:48,080 --> 01:12:50,960
Speaker 4: know Brown's at Jaxson's. That'll be four to thirty eastern

1443
01:12:51,160 --> 01:12:55,320
Speaker 4: on Saturday, Packers at Cowboys, no surprise for thirty eastern

1444
01:12:55,479 --> 01:12:59,080
Speaker 4: on Sunday. So we got those two game times via schefter.

1445
01:12:59,360 --> 01:13:03,920
Speaker 2: Just then, okay, and remember this is Super Weekend, so

1446
01:13:04,040 --> 01:13:07,600
Speaker 2: there will also be a game on Monday night and

1447
01:13:07,960 --> 01:13:11,200
Speaker 2: uh and and so six games and and but there's

1448
01:13:11,240 --> 01:13:15,200
Speaker 2: the the the afternoon sort of primetime stuff if you will,

1449
01:13:15,720 --> 01:13:18,200
Speaker 2: Cowboys hosting the Packers. You knew that would get the

1450
01:13:18,280 --> 01:13:23,000
Speaker 2: late Sunday window. Saturday will be Cleveland and Houston. And

1451
01:13:23,120 --> 01:13:26,400
Speaker 2: as I've been reminding anyone who listened Carrie, go get

01:13:26,479 --> 01:13:29,000
Speaker 2: yourself or find out if you've got a friend or

1454
01:13:33,200 --> 01:13:35,800
Speaker 2: came of the year will be played. As far as

Speaker 2: the television product, it's gonna be on Peacock.

1456
01:13:38,240 --> 01:13:39,120
Speaker 1: And I don't want.

1457
01:13:39,000 --> 01:13:41,799
Speaker 2: People to wake up Saturday morning, go all right, where's

1458
01:13:41,840 --> 01:13:42,799
Speaker 2: the NFL playoffs?

1459

Speaker 1: Honey?

1460
01:13:45,600 --> 01:13:48,840
Speaker 10: Do we subscribe to Peacock? Like I You know, I'm

1461
01:13:48,880 --> 01:13:51,920
Speaker 10: worried about people, carry no worry about me. Now I

1462
01:13:51,960 --> 01:13:53,560
Speaker 10: gotta find a place to watch it. So now you

Speaker 1: Go, there you go? All right?

1466
01:14:00,680 --> 01:14:05,160
Speaker 2: The Eagles issue is not done yet, and also coming

1467
01:14:05,280 --> 01:14:08,040
Speaker 2: up still ahead, we'll circle back to where we started today,

1468
01:14:08,400 --> 01:14:11,440
Speaker 2: which was what I thought was the worst coaching performance

1469
01:14:12,240 --> 01:14:13,400
Speaker 2: of the entire year.

1470
01:14:13,760 --> 01:14:16,000
Speaker 1: So all of that is ahead with Kerry Rhoades. I'm

1471
01:14:16,040 --> 01:14:17,960

1477
01:14:33,280 --> 01:14:36,240
Speaker 1: you think. Carry, I need to know what you think.

1478
01:14:37,160 --> 01:14:40,240
Speaker 1: The Bills took a chance, and that's all they've been

1479
01:14:40,320 --> 01:14:43,880
Speaker 1: doing all night, and they keep coming up. Snake guys. Man,

1480
01:14:44,640 --> 01:14:46,160
Speaker 1: they keep coming up snake guys.

1481
01:14:46,520 --> 01:14:49,920
Speaker 2: What would you all do? Everybody listen. Eleven seconds to go,

1482
01:14:50,160 --> 01:14:53,560
Speaker 2: You're down fourteen to seven. You've got the ball just

1483
01:14:53,680 --> 01:14:58,120
Speaker 2: shy of the ten yard line, but you've got no timeouts.

1484
01:14:58,560 --> 01:15:02,479
Speaker 2: It's the classic drop back. Do not take a sack

1485
01:15:02,960 --> 01:15:06,200
Speaker 2: if it's not there, Josh, throw it away, but you

1486
01:15:06,439 --> 01:15:09,920
Speaker 2: gotta throw it into the end zone. Well, he completes

1487
01:15:09,960 --> 01:15:14,080
Speaker 2: a pass at the two, hoping the receiver will get in.

1488
01:15:15,439 --> 01:15:17,200
Speaker 1: The receiver gets stopped at the one.

1489
01:15:17,640 --> 01:15:20,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, my hands went that's my hands went up in

1490
01:15:20,400 --> 01:15:23,400
Speaker 3: the air. Mark. As it was happening, I was like,

1491
01:15:23,520 --> 01:15:27,040
Speaker 3: what are they doing? If he gets in, obviously it's

1492
01:15:27,040 --> 01:15:30,400
Speaker 3: a great play. He did not get in, So it's

1493
01:15:30,560 --> 01:15:34,200
Speaker 3: not a good play. What I mean, it's it sucks.

1494
01:15:34,280 --> 01:15:35,400
Speaker 3: That's crazy. That's crazy.

1495
01:15:36,560 --> 01:15:40,240
Speaker 2: I just feel like we've arrived at a time in

1496
01:15:40,320 --> 01:15:44,639
Speaker 2: the NFL where there are so many coaches and maybe

1497
01:15:44,720 --> 01:15:49,479
Speaker 2: this is analytics, maybe it's a little machismo, maybe it's

1498
01:15:49,600 --> 01:15:52,880
Speaker 2: playing to the entertainment side of all of this, but

1499
01:15:53,280 --> 01:15:56,320
Speaker 2: my god, coaches.

1500
01:15:55,920 --> 01:16:00,479
Speaker 1: Are allergic to field goals. Allergic.

1501
01:16:01,040 --> 01:16:06,559
Speaker 2: Yes, it's like taking three is a personal affront when

1502
01:16:06,640 --> 01:16:10,240
Speaker 2: it when it comes to these situations. And I'm looking

1503
01:16:10,320 --> 01:16:12,799
Speaker 2: now at a Bills team that's down by seven points

1504
01:16:13,560 --> 01:16:16,600
Speaker 2: and has thrown two interceptions in the end zone and

1505
01:16:16,720 --> 01:16:20,519
Speaker 2: now this, and you, boy, you want to talk about

1506
01:16:20,560 --> 01:16:23,920
Speaker 2: playing with fire when the difference in this game is

1507
01:16:24,080 --> 01:16:27,640
Speaker 2: either having to do it again next week home to

1508
01:16:27,720 --> 01:16:30,280
Speaker 2: Miami or getting a home game.

1509
01:16:30,160 --> 01:16:33,000
Speaker 1: Against a T. J. Wattless Pittsburgh Steelers team.

1510
01:16:34,160 --> 01:16:38,960
Speaker 2: Dude, dude, Like, I don't know, man, like take take

1511
01:16:39,040 --> 01:16:43,800
Speaker 2: a mature play once at least once, but it's just.

1512
01:16:44,920 --> 01:16:46,080
Speaker 1: It's not in their DNA.

1513
01:16:46,520 --> 01:16:49,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, a lot of these. You're right, You're right, Mark.

1514
01:16:49,240 --> 01:16:51,760
Speaker 3: I'm having the same issue with with with coaches this

1515
01:16:51,880 --> 01:16:55,160
Speaker 3: year as well. And I think being here in LA

1516
01:16:55,320 --> 01:16:56,960
Speaker 3: we get we get a glimpse of that all the

1517
01:16:57,040 --> 01:17:00,920
Speaker 3: time with with the l h rges and now you know,

1518
01:17:01,080 --> 01:17:03,880
Speaker 3: doing the analytic thing right where it's where it's you know,

1519
01:17:04,360 --> 01:17:06,759
Speaker 3: and that in that time, with that in that place,

1520
01:17:07,400 --> 01:17:09,960
Speaker 3: we take one more shot at it, obviously, which is

1521
01:17:10,040 --> 01:17:12,200
Speaker 3: a smart play. You take one more shot, but but

1522
01:17:12,760 --> 01:17:14,080
Speaker 3: you throw that to the end zone, or you throw

1523
01:17:14,120 --> 01:17:15,840
Speaker 3: out a bounds. You do not throw it in play

1524
01:17:15,880 --> 01:17:17,720
Speaker 3: where you can get tackled and not get any play.

1525
01:17:17,880 --> 01:17:22,400
Speaker 3: So it's situational awareness awareness. A lot of these teams

1526
01:17:22,479 --> 01:17:25,759
Speaker 3: don't have it right now, and more importantly, the coaches

1527
01:17:25,760 --> 01:17:28,719
Speaker 3: don't because they're trying to outscore people at a clip

1528
01:17:28,800 --> 01:17:31,880
Speaker 3: that just isn't sustainable. So yeah, it's it's, it's it's

1529
01:17:31,960 --> 01:17:33,680
Speaker 3: it's been crazy for me to see this year.

1530
01:17:34,360 --> 01:17:38,639
Speaker 1: It's wild. It's wild. I think we've seen it over

1531
01:17:38,720 --> 01:17:39,040
Speaker 1: and over.

1532
01:17:39,200 --> 01:17:41,639
Speaker 2: I watched Belichick do it about three or four weeks

1533
01:17:41,680 --> 01:17:44,960
Speaker 2: ago where they're just left three out there in order

1534
01:17:45,000 --> 01:17:45,560
Speaker 2: to go for it.

1535
01:17:45,680 --> 01:17:47,840
Speaker 1: If it's fourth and three or less.

1536
01:17:48,600 --> 01:17:52,240
Speaker 2: It's almost like And again, I don't think people are

1537
01:17:52,880 --> 01:17:55,240
Speaker 2: are playing to the fan base or afraid of the

1538
01:17:55,360 --> 01:17:55,920
Speaker 2: fan base.

1539
01:17:56,040 --> 01:17:59,479
Speaker 1: I really don't think that. But there is something that

1540
01:17:59,720 --> 01:18:00,599
Speaker 1: is very.

1541
01:18:01,400 --> 01:18:06,840
Speaker 2: Sort of emotionally drab about the idea of not going

1542
01:18:06,920 --> 01:18:09,760
Speaker 2: forward on fourth and three, it's almost like an admission.

1543
01:18:10,680 --> 01:18:12,960
Speaker 2: It's an admission that you don't have a play call,

1544
01:18:14,400 --> 01:18:16,360
Speaker 2: like you just don't have it, you know, like you should.

1545
01:18:16,800 --> 01:18:20,280
Speaker 2: You should be able to draw something up that gets

1546
01:18:20,320 --> 01:18:24,000
Speaker 2: you two and a half to three yards whenever you want,

1547
01:18:24,439 --> 01:18:26,799
Speaker 2: every time, and therefore if.

1548
01:18:26,680 --> 01:18:29,479
Speaker 1: You don't go for it, that's what it feels like.

1549
01:18:29,600 --> 01:18:33,400
Speaker 1: It feels like a coach is making an admission. And

1550
01:18:33,880 --> 01:18:34,600
Speaker 1: I get that.

1551
01:18:35,360 --> 01:18:37,599
Speaker 2: But by the same token, I don't know how many

1552
01:18:37,680 --> 01:18:40,760
Speaker 2: games you watched finish at twenty one to twenty today.

1553
01:18:40,920 --> 01:18:42,719
Speaker 1: But three points is pretty valuable.

1554
01:18:44,120 --> 01:18:46,240
Speaker 2: Forty nine ers missed a field goal and an extra

1555
01:18:46,320 --> 01:18:47,559
Speaker 2: point today lost by one.

1556
01:18:47,720 --> 01:18:50,800
Speaker 1: Yes, so a couple of points here and there it

1557
01:18:50,880 --> 01:18:52,240
Speaker 1: can change a football game.

1558
01:18:52,840 --> 01:18:55,960
Speaker 3: Mark It's it's it's keeping up with the joneses. You

1559
01:18:56,040 --> 01:18:58,080
Speaker 3: got so many, you got so many of these young

1560
01:18:58,160 --> 01:19:01,400
Speaker 3: head coaches that are that are being super aggressive, aggressive,

1561
01:19:02,240 --> 01:19:04,200
Speaker 3: and you know, like again, you have to keep up

1562
01:19:04,240 --> 01:19:07,040
Speaker 3: with the times, right, But I also think there's a

1563
01:19:07,160 --> 01:19:10,840
Speaker 3: purity that comes with doing the right thing taking the

1564
01:19:10,920 --> 01:19:14,479
Speaker 3: points in certain positions. Now, there there are times when

1565
01:19:14,520 --> 01:19:16,439
Speaker 3: you have to be aggressive and you have to you know,

1566
01:19:16,560 --> 01:19:18,280
Speaker 3: go forward on foot downs and you know, some of

1567
01:19:18,320 --> 01:19:21,479
Speaker 3: those things do need to happen, but they're doing it

1568
01:19:21,600 --> 01:19:24,719
Speaker 3: so so willy nilly now that it's just it's almost

1569
01:19:24,760 --> 01:19:28,200
Speaker 3: becoming Madden now instead instead of the NFL. And that's

1570
01:19:28,240 --> 01:19:29,640
Speaker 3: the part where it's kind of crazy for me.

1571
01:19:30,080 --> 01:19:32,240
Speaker 2: Well, and let me ask you this because we always here,

1572
01:19:32,360 --> 01:19:34,560
Speaker 2: like even just go back to when Dan Campbell was

1573
01:19:34,640 --> 01:19:36,280
Speaker 2: at the two yard line, forget when he was at

1574
01:19:36,320 --> 01:19:39,960
Speaker 2: the seventh Yeah, do you like the idea from from

1575
01:19:40,080 --> 01:19:42,720
Speaker 2: the get go, because we always hear that when a

1576
01:19:42,800 --> 01:19:45,880
Speaker 2: coach does that, boy, it fires the sideline up.

1577
01:19:45,920 --> 01:19:46,800
Speaker 1: The players love it.

1578
01:19:46,960 --> 01:19:50,680
Speaker 3: Sure, sure, the you know it's it's crazy because I

1579
01:19:50,720 --> 01:19:53,160
Speaker 3: think we there's a game early on in the year

1580
01:19:53,280 --> 01:19:57,720
Speaker 3: where an old school coach, Ron Riveravera and the Commanders

1581
01:19:57,880 --> 01:20:00,840
Speaker 3: had a chance to go for two to win a game.

1582
01:20:00,880 --> 01:20:02,080
Speaker 3: I can't remember who it was. I think it was

1583
01:20:02,080 --> 01:20:04,240
Speaker 3: the Eagles got a chance to go for to and

1584
01:20:04,320 --> 01:20:06,400
Speaker 3: win the game and it kicks your extra point, go

1585
01:20:06,479 --> 01:20:10,000
Speaker 3: to overtime and lose. Right, we wanted him to be aggressive,

1586
01:20:11,360 --> 01:20:14,280
Speaker 3: you know, and then we have a situation where Campbell

1587
01:20:14,400 --> 01:20:16,880
Speaker 3: was aggressive. It didn't work. It didn't work, and we

1588
01:20:17,040 --> 01:20:18,920
Speaker 3: get we blame him. So it's it's one of those

1589
01:20:18,920 --> 01:20:20,840
Speaker 3: things where it's a catch twenty two.

1590
01:20:22,520 --> 01:20:23,560
Speaker 1: No question about it.

1591
01:20:23,880 --> 01:20:26,760
Speaker 2: There are always situations for it, but it seems like

1592
01:20:27,360 --> 01:20:30,240
Speaker 2: all the situations are for it now with the way

1593
01:20:30,320 --> 01:20:34,519
Speaker 2: that most coaches play it out. Speaking of coaches, Arthur Smith,

1594
01:20:34,640 --> 01:20:37,640
Speaker 2: Dennis Allen, it got hot. We're gonna get to that

1595
01:20:38,040 --> 01:20:40,160
Speaker 2: coming up next on Fox Sports Radio.

1596
01:20:41,479 --> 01:20:45,920
Speaker 1: Don't listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio. Should have known, Carrie,

1597
01:20:46,560 --> 01:20:47,240
Speaker 1: should have known.

1598
01:20:48,000 --> 01:20:50,320
Speaker 2: You should have known after even the way we sat

1599
01:20:50,400 --> 01:20:53,639
Speaker 2: there talked about that Eagles Bucks game. They're like, yeah,

1600
01:20:53,720 --> 01:20:56,080
Speaker 2: let's let's not even put that one on the weekend.

1601
01:20:56,880 --> 01:21:00,280
Speaker 2: Let's let's just make that on Monday night and we'll

1602
01:21:00,360 --> 01:21:02,719
Speaker 2: tuck it in at the end of the whole process.

1603
01:21:02,800 --> 01:21:06,760
Speaker 2: And I don't know, hope nobody notices, right, I mean,

1604
01:21:06,880 --> 01:21:11,160
Speaker 2: Baker Mayfield is hosting a one handed Jalen Hurts.

1605
01:21:11,120 --> 01:21:13,160
Speaker 1: So that's what you get exactly.

1606
01:21:13,439 --> 01:21:16,280
Speaker 3: No, No, it may it makes sense, but no, what

1607
01:21:16,439 --> 01:21:17,559
Speaker 3: is we talked about earlier?

1608
01:21:17,600 --> 01:21:17,720
Speaker 5: Though?

1609
01:21:17,760 --> 01:21:20,800
Speaker 3: It's been such a pleasant surprise for me, and I've

1610
01:21:20,840 --> 01:21:24,519
Speaker 3: really been high on on Baker man, you know, being

1611
01:21:24,560 --> 01:21:26,960
Speaker 3: able to kind of rewrite his narrative in his story

1612
01:21:27,080 --> 01:21:29,960
Speaker 3: and kind of been cast away, and you know he's

1613
01:21:30,000 --> 01:21:34,559
Speaker 3: back into playoffs. We just can't get rid of Baker Mayfieldield.

1614
01:21:34,200 --> 01:21:37,080
Speaker 1: No, we cannot. We cannot get rid of Baker Mayfield.

1615
01:21:37,160 --> 01:21:41,040
Speaker 2: And he has put himself in an interesting spot when

1616
01:21:41,120 --> 01:21:43,800
Speaker 2: we talk about and and you know, before we get

1617
01:21:43,840 --> 01:21:46,800
Speaker 2: to what happened in New Orleans today, maybe we can

1618
01:21:46,880 --> 01:21:49,560
Speaker 2: bounce around with this a little bit. The teams that

1619
01:21:49,840 --> 01:21:54,439
Speaker 2: definitely need a quarterback and what exactly they're going to

1620
01:21:54,520 --> 01:21:55,160
Speaker 2: do about it.

1621
01:21:55,600 --> 01:21:57,160
Speaker 1: So you know you've been hearing.

1622
01:21:57,080 --> 01:22:00,400
Speaker 2: Nick talk about the draft order, and it'll all start

1623
01:22:00,840 --> 01:22:03,840
Speaker 2: with the Bears and what do they want to do?

1624
01:22:04,040 --> 01:22:06,840
Speaker 1: What would you do? Carrie? You going you're going all

1625
01:22:06,920 --> 01:22:08,680
Speaker 1: in on Justin Fields or are you going in a

1626
01:22:08,760 --> 01:22:09,400
Speaker 1: different direction.

1627
01:22:10,120 --> 01:22:13,080
Speaker 3: I'm going in. I'm going in on Justin Fields and this.

1628
01:22:13,320 --> 01:22:16,360
Speaker 3: And the reason I say that is just I mean,

1629
01:22:16,400 --> 01:22:20,200
Speaker 3: we obviously have seen what he can do down the

1630
01:22:20,240 --> 01:22:23,439
Speaker 3: stretch here, He's played better, the team has rallied around them,

1631
01:22:23,920 --> 01:22:25,720
Speaker 3: I mean even the city. I mean the city has

1632
01:22:25,760 --> 01:22:28,720
Speaker 3: been showing their support for him. So I'm going to

1633
01:22:28,760 --> 01:22:32,080
Speaker 3: make him my guy. There's other other things they need

1634
01:22:32,200 --> 01:22:34,680
Speaker 3: that that can bolster that team and put them in

1635
01:22:34,720 --> 01:22:38,080
Speaker 3: the position to win and they're close. They're not far off,

1636
01:22:38,160 --> 01:22:40,920
Speaker 3: even though you know, I think their final record with

1637
01:22:40,960 --> 01:22:44,120
Speaker 3: seven and ten, they've they're definitely trending in the right

1638
01:22:44,200 --> 01:22:47,000
Speaker 3: direction and kind of they're kind of giving me me

1639
01:22:47,360 --> 01:22:50,000
Speaker 3: detroit lyons energy. Now I'm not saying it's going to

1640
01:22:50,040 --> 01:22:52,880
Speaker 3: happen the same way, but the way they finished down

1641
01:22:52,920 --> 01:22:55,960
Speaker 3: the stretch and what's competitive And you know, even had

1642
01:22:55,960 --> 01:22:57,639
Speaker 3: a chance today to be the team that was going

1643
01:22:57,720 --> 01:23:01,400
Speaker 3: to the playoffs. So I would give him the chance

1644
01:23:01,800 --> 01:23:04,000
Speaker 3: and build around that with the picks that they have

1645
01:23:04,400 --> 01:23:04,600
Speaker 3: they have.

1646
01:23:05,240 --> 01:23:07,160
Speaker 1: I tell you what two reasons I agree with you.

1647
01:23:07,640 --> 01:23:13,439
Speaker 2: Number One, justin Field screams the kind of guy that

1648
01:23:13,520 --> 01:23:15,080
Speaker 2: if you're like, you know what, we're going to go

1649
01:23:15,160 --> 01:23:20,439
Speaker 2: in a different direction, oh my god, you're gonna regret, Like,

1650
01:23:20,680 --> 01:23:24,040
Speaker 2: doesn't he just feel like somebody who if he ended

1651
01:23:24,120 --> 01:23:28,720
Speaker 2: up on the Falcons next year and he played near

1652
01:23:28,880 --> 01:23:32,960
Speaker 2: home on a fast track with Kyle Pitts and Drake

1653
01:23:33,040 --> 01:23:37,080
Speaker 2: London doesn't and b Jon Robinson doesn't, it just feel like,

1654
01:23:37,280 --> 01:23:40,040
Speaker 2: oh my god, he's a star and we let him go.

1655
01:23:40,800 --> 01:23:43,439
Speaker 1: Like I don't know that he is, but I'm not

1656
01:23:43,640 --> 01:23:44,439
Speaker 1: sure that he's not.

1657
01:23:45,280 --> 01:23:49,240
Speaker 2: And if I were the Bears, knowing that his whole

1658
01:23:49,280 --> 01:23:52,600
Speaker 2: career has been played in like sloppy soldier field and

1659
01:23:52,960 --> 01:23:56,080
Speaker 2: the whole time. One year we gave him one receiver.

1660
01:23:57,439 --> 01:24:00,960
Speaker 2: One year, we gave him one receiver. And by the way,

1661
01:24:01,560 --> 01:24:05,000
Speaker 2: DJ Moore had a pretty freaking good year. Yes, it

1662
01:24:05,040 --> 01:24:07,560
Speaker 2: did pretty freaking good year and went out there and

1663
01:24:07,600 --> 01:24:11,160
Speaker 2: went for thirteen hundred yards. It would terrify me if

1664
01:24:11,200 --> 01:24:13,519
Speaker 2: we gave up on Justin Fields that he would go

1665
01:24:13,680 --> 01:24:16,360
Speaker 2: somewhere else and become an absolute stud.

1666
01:24:16,600 --> 01:24:18,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, in that point you just made right there the

1667
01:24:19,680 --> 01:24:23,680
Speaker 3: threat of him leaving, and obviously he's picked up his

1668
01:24:23,760 --> 01:24:26,000
Speaker 3: play to a point where you could see the potential

1669
01:24:26,040 --> 01:24:28,479
Speaker 3: of him being what you just said, a star star.

1670
01:24:28,760 --> 01:24:31,479
Speaker 3: And that is the team that I kind of had

1671
01:24:31,560 --> 01:24:35,519
Speaker 3: in mind as well Atlanta. Now, if what would be

1672
01:24:35,560 --> 01:24:38,679
Speaker 3: the asking price would be another thing that comes into

1673
01:24:38,680 --> 01:24:42,680
Speaker 3: play here, Right, So if Atlanta did offer something that

1674
01:24:42,760 --> 01:24:46,400
Speaker 3: you couldn't refuse for Justin Phils and you take that

1675
01:24:46,560 --> 01:24:48,680
Speaker 3: and then you take Caleb Williams with the number one pick,

1676
01:24:48,760 --> 01:24:52,080
Speaker 3: then I understand it. But other than that, just to

1677
01:24:52,320 --> 01:24:54,000
Speaker 3: get rid of him, to get off him, to get

1678
01:24:54,040 --> 01:24:56,760
Speaker 3: another quarterback, I wouldn't play around with that because number

1679
01:24:56,760 --> 01:25:01,519
Speaker 3: one is a GM and that says you made the

1680
01:25:01,600 --> 01:25:05,920
Speaker 3: wrong pick right right, and so you lost as a GM.

1681
01:25:06,640 --> 01:25:08,439
Speaker 3: So you don't want that on your record either your

1682
01:25:08,439 --> 01:25:08,880
Speaker 3: record either.

1683
01:25:09,320 --> 01:25:11,600
Speaker 2: Well, here's the other thing, and to the point of

1684
01:25:11,840 --> 01:25:14,960
Speaker 2: what you can put around justin fields, I don't know

1685
01:25:15,800 --> 01:25:19,880
Speaker 2: if in recent memory carry I've seen a more powerful

1686
01:25:20,120 --> 01:25:25,519
Speaker 2: draft position than the Bears have right now. So they

1687
01:25:25,600 --> 01:25:28,439
Speaker 2: are in inc They've got number one and number nine,

1688
01:25:29,200 --> 01:25:31,479
Speaker 2: so they've already got two top ten picks.

1689
01:25:31,920 --> 01:25:33,040
Speaker 1: But it doesn't stop there.

1690
01:25:33,640 --> 01:25:38,400
Speaker 2: They've gotten number one in a year where there are

1691
01:25:38,920 --> 01:25:44,960
Speaker 2: very impressive, intriguing quarterback prospects on the board, and no

1692
01:25:45,200 --> 01:25:50,040
Speaker 2: less than two teams sitting right behind them who you

1693
01:25:50,320 --> 01:25:56,960
Speaker 2: know are dying for the quarterbacks. Washington at two, New

1694
01:25:57,000 --> 01:25:59,640
Speaker 2: England at three. Yes, they're going quarterback.

1695
01:25:59,760 --> 01:25:59,880
Speaker 3: Yes.

1696
01:26:00,280 --> 01:26:02,519
Speaker 2: And so if I'm Chicago, I'm sitting there with that

1697
01:26:02,680 --> 01:26:09,320
Speaker 2: first pick, and I'm calling both teams, and I'm going dance, dance,

1698
01:26:10,360 --> 01:26:12,800
Speaker 2: and i want to see how well you dance. And

1699
01:26:12,880 --> 01:26:15,400
Speaker 2: then when you're done dancing, you're gonna dance some more.

1700
01:26:16,040 --> 01:26:20,560
Speaker 2: Because whichever player you want, we hold the power to

1701
01:26:20,680 --> 01:26:24,519
Speaker 2: put either one of you over the other one, and

1702
01:26:25,160 --> 01:26:27,440
Speaker 2: you may be able to pull a deal twice.

1703
01:26:27,760 --> 01:26:30,120
Speaker 1: Washington, you want to move up to one. Cool. Once

1704
01:26:30,160 --> 01:26:32,040
Speaker 1: you move to two, you can look into England and go,

1705
01:26:32,240 --> 01:26:33,920
Speaker 1: would you like to move up to two?

1706
01:26:34,640 --> 01:26:37,120
Speaker 2: You could end up with half the first round for

1707
01:26:37,240 --> 01:26:40,920
Speaker 2: crying out loud for the next couple of years if

1708
01:26:41,000 --> 01:26:43,599
Speaker 2: you play this right, if you're the Bears, and if

1709
01:26:43,640 --> 01:26:47,120
Speaker 2: you do that, what you could put around justin fields

1710
01:26:47,240 --> 01:26:50,560
Speaker 2: starting with Marvin Harrison junior by the way, next to

1711
01:26:50,680 --> 01:26:55,080
Speaker 2: Dj Moore and an offensive lineman and defensive players like,

1712
01:26:55,160 --> 01:26:59,000
Speaker 2: what you could put around justin fields could be pretty interesting, Carrie.

1713
01:27:00,040 --> 01:27:02,960
Speaker 3: And that's that's where I would go. I mean, they

1714
01:27:03,040 --> 01:27:05,360
Speaker 3: hold the cards here. They have a chance to really

1715
01:27:05,400 --> 01:27:07,679
Speaker 3: really improve their team in a short amount of time.

1716
01:27:07,720 --> 01:27:10,640
Speaker 3: I mean, and really one draft they can get all

1717
01:27:10,720 --> 01:27:12,880
Speaker 3: of their needs that they want to. So if they

1718
01:27:12,920 --> 01:27:17,240
Speaker 3: play it right, knowing that they have the trump card

1719
01:27:17,439 --> 01:27:20,720
Speaker 3: in their hands, if they use it correctly, this could

1720
01:27:20,720 --> 01:27:22,400
Speaker 3: be a big, big, big off season for them and

1721
01:27:22,439 --> 01:27:25,320
Speaker 3: put them into real contention to be a team that

1722
01:27:25,439 --> 01:27:28,400
Speaker 3: you know, makes the playoffs and start to really be

1723
01:27:28,520 --> 01:27:32,000
Speaker 3: able to beat Green Bay right down the stretch.

1724
01:27:31,760 --> 01:27:35,479
Speaker 2: Here right absolutely, And then just looking at the whole

1725
01:27:35,560 --> 01:27:38,160
Speaker 2: top ten and you know, Nick has mentioned it.

1726
01:27:38,280 --> 01:27:39,920
Speaker 1: The top eighteen are in place.

1727
01:27:40,360 --> 01:27:46,519
Speaker 2: It goes Bears, Commander's Patriots, then Cardinals, Chargers, Giants, then Titans, Falcons,

1728
01:27:46,680 --> 01:27:50,120
Speaker 2: Bears again, and then the Jets, and sitting at eleven

1729
01:27:50,400 --> 01:27:54,360
Speaker 2: the Vikings, who are also very interesting quarterback wise, with

1730
01:27:54,560 --> 01:27:58,320
Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins as a free agent and Justin Jefferson unsigned

1731
01:27:58,320 --> 01:28:01,800
Speaker 2: as far as an extension, So all kinds of stuff there.

1732
01:28:02,120 --> 01:28:04,600
Speaker 2: But I wonder, like, in that group, who else do

1733
01:28:04,720 --> 01:28:08,120
Speaker 2: you see with not only eyes on a quarterback but

1734
01:28:08,280 --> 01:28:11,280
Speaker 2: how they'll play it. Commander's Patriots, that's obvious, But then

1735
01:28:11,320 --> 01:28:12,240
Speaker 2: sitting at number.

1736
01:28:12,040 --> 01:28:16,560
Speaker 1: Four is the Cardinals. Okay, what do you do?

1737
01:28:16,960 --> 01:28:21,200
Speaker 2: Kyler Murray not not that long ago signed but then

1738
01:28:21,520 --> 01:28:27,040
Speaker 2: major injury and just also, uh, the overall thought around

1739
01:28:27,160 --> 01:28:28,720
Speaker 2: him is still up in the air.

1740
01:28:29,439 --> 01:28:29,639
Speaker 1: Well.

1741
01:28:29,720 --> 01:28:32,479
Speaker 3: I mean, I think you saw last week their head coach,

1742
01:28:32,560 --> 01:28:35,760
Speaker 3: Jonathan Gannon came out and said, you know, Kyler was

1743
01:28:35,840 --> 01:28:37,800
Speaker 3: the guy, and you know we can you can you

1744
01:28:37,840 --> 01:28:39,200
Speaker 3: can take that with a grain of salt a lot

1745
01:28:39,280 --> 01:28:41,800
Speaker 3: of times, but you know it seemed like he was

1746
01:28:41,880 --> 01:28:44,960
Speaker 3: sincere and that and another this is funny another head

1747
01:28:45,000 --> 01:28:47,680
Speaker 3: coach that's a former teammate of mine. So I do

1748
01:28:47,920 --> 01:28:50,160
Speaker 3: know him when he speaks, and I know if he's

1749
01:28:50,200 --> 01:28:53,120
Speaker 3: being sincere or not. So it looks like he was

1750
01:28:53,360 --> 01:28:56,360
Speaker 3: he was, and if Kyler is that guy then yes,

1751
01:28:56,439 --> 01:28:59,680
Speaker 3: I mean, I mean the part where Arizona has been

1752
01:28:59,720 --> 01:29:02,120
Speaker 3: winning some games here down the stretches actually put them

1753
01:29:02,160 --> 01:29:05,200
Speaker 3: in a position to be outside of that top the

1754
01:29:05,320 --> 01:29:07,719
Speaker 3: top couple ones that to get those you know, Drake

1755
01:29:07,760 --> 01:29:10,840
Speaker 3: Maids or Caleb Williams or Marvin Harrison picks and so

1756
01:29:11,520 --> 01:29:13,680
Speaker 3: you know, obviously those that's probably the cream of the

1757
01:29:13,760 --> 01:29:17,000
Speaker 3: cop for any team really coming into this draft, those

1758
01:29:17,160 --> 01:29:20,599
Speaker 3: those three names and being outside of that, you probably

1759
01:29:20,640 --> 01:29:22,120
Speaker 3: want to try to move up to get in that

1760
01:29:23,000 --> 01:29:25,599
Speaker 3: top three to have a chance at one of those guys.

1761
01:29:25,680 --> 01:29:28,559
Speaker 3: So there's definitely going to be some action. I think

1762
01:29:28,680 --> 01:29:32,679
Speaker 3: Arizona's going to give Kyler another shot here, healthy healthy

1763
01:29:32,760 --> 01:29:36,000
Speaker 3: Calamaria shot, and he showed some flashes again this year

1764
01:29:36,040 --> 01:29:38,000
Speaker 3: of who he was before. But we we you know

1765
01:29:38,080 --> 01:29:39,040
Speaker 3: the juries said, I don't him.

1766
01:29:39,840 --> 01:29:42,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree with you with your assessment there and

1767
01:29:42,680 --> 01:29:46,200
Speaker 2: the way that'll play. Chargers sitting at five, they've got Herbert,

1768
01:29:46,640 --> 01:29:49,920
Speaker 2: so they're not going to do anything. The Giants are fascinating.

1769
01:29:50,439 --> 01:29:54,320
Speaker 2: Their GM said recently they would add a quarterback either

1770
01:29:54,439 --> 01:29:56,800
Speaker 2: through the draft or free agency, But how does that

1771
01:29:57,040 --> 01:30:02,080
Speaker 2: look a year after a four plus million per year

1772
01:30:02,240 --> 01:30:05,040
Speaker 2: deal for Daniel Jones who barely played this year.

1773
01:30:06,000 --> 01:30:09,320
Speaker 3: I mean, the fact that they did that and didn't

1774
01:30:09,360 --> 01:30:11,840
Speaker 3: want to pay their best player of the money and

1775
01:30:11,920 --> 01:30:14,080
Speaker 3: give it to him, it's just a bad look. So

1776
01:30:14,560 --> 01:30:17,240
Speaker 3: totally for them to be talking about Bill and on

1777
01:30:17,360 --> 01:30:21,120
Speaker 3: Daniel Jones at this point is just at an abject failure.

1778
01:30:21,360 --> 01:30:23,960
Speaker 3: They would call it, and it wouldn't look good for them,

1779
01:30:24,160 --> 01:30:24,599
Speaker 3: good for them.

1780
01:30:25,479 --> 01:30:29,120
Speaker 2: Titans at seven could also go either direction. Are they

1781
01:30:29,240 --> 01:30:31,839
Speaker 2: interested in Will Levis? Do they want him to compete

1782
01:30:31,920 --> 01:30:34,840
Speaker 2: for it? That one is kind of a coin flip.

1783
01:30:34,960 --> 01:30:37,759
Speaker 2: Falcons at eight, you gotta think that they're very interested

1784
01:30:37,800 --> 01:30:40,439
Speaker 2: in the quarterback market. And then the Jets will be

1785
01:30:40,600 --> 01:30:45,439
Speaker 2: trading a quarterback. But that's not Aaron Rodgers. They'll trade

1786
01:30:45,520 --> 01:30:48,240
Speaker 2: Zach Wilson, you would think. And so that's how that

1787
01:30:48,360 --> 01:30:50,640
Speaker 2: top ten kind of plays out real quick. While we're

1788
01:30:50,680 --> 01:30:52,160
Speaker 2: on it, what would you do if you were the

1789
01:30:52,280 --> 01:30:57,280
Speaker 2: Vikings sitting at eleven, Cousins hitting free agency, Justin Jefferson

1790
01:30:57,479 --> 01:31:00,920
Speaker 2: unsigned and screaming on the sideline as he left the field.

1791
01:31:00,960 --> 01:31:05,519
Speaker 3: Today, the Vikings are in a position where things can

1792
01:31:05,560 --> 01:31:08,759
Speaker 3: go south really quickly for them. I mean, Kirk Cousins

1793
01:31:08,840 --> 01:31:13,400
Speaker 3: is obviously coming off a catastrophic Achilles injury, and you

1794
01:31:13,479 --> 01:31:16,320
Speaker 3: know there was talks even before this year if this

1795
01:31:16,439 --> 01:31:17,880
Speaker 3: is going to be it for him and where they

1796
01:31:18,000 --> 01:31:21,160
Speaker 3: going to move on anyway. So I think even if

1797
01:31:21,160 --> 01:31:23,760
Speaker 3: they're bringing him back in to compete, they're going to

1798
01:31:23,840 --> 01:31:27,160
Speaker 3: have to get another quarterback in there to be the

1799
01:31:27,240 --> 01:31:30,360
Speaker 3: future of that team, and you definitely got to bring

1800
01:31:30,400 --> 01:31:33,280
Speaker 3: somebody in that's going to be be there to be

1801
01:31:33,400 --> 01:31:36,400
Speaker 3: paired with Justin Jefferson, because if he's going to be

1802
01:31:36,439 --> 01:31:38,600
Speaker 3: your future there, you're going to have some have to

1803
01:31:38,680 --> 01:31:40,720
Speaker 3: have somebody there that can get him the ball and

1804
01:31:40,840 --> 01:31:44,200
Speaker 3: keep him happy. So they're definitely in the market for KB.

1805
01:31:44,360 --> 01:31:46,839
Speaker 3: I don't know how they're going to maneuver that situation,

1806
01:31:47,000 --> 01:31:49,400
Speaker 3: but yes, they're one of those things that if they

1807
01:31:49,479 --> 01:31:52,560
Speaker 3: can trade up in there some kind of way to

1808
01:31:53,600 --> 01:31:56,080
Speaker 3: get in that top three for to get a chance

1809
01:31:56,120 --> 01:31:58,680
Speaker 3: at one of those guys or even where they are,

1810
01:31:59,040 --> 01:32:02,680
Speaker 3: they maybe maybe they can take a Pinnix or a

1811
01:32:02,840 --> 01:32:05,080
Speaker 3: Daniels M. Daniels and take and take a risk of

1812
01:32:05,120 --> 01:32:06,639
Speaker 3: one of those guys. So it's going to be interesting

1813
01:32:06,680 --> 01:32:07,479
Speaker 3: to see, interesting to.

01:32:23,760 --> 01:32:26,479
Speaker 2: have the playoff matchup set, the game times and all

1820
01:32:26,560 --> 01:32:29,360
Speaker 2: of that. We don't know exactly who's playing who and

1821
01:32:29,400 --> 01:32:31,640
Speaker 2: all of them yet because the Bills and Dolphins are

1822
01:32:31,680 --> 01:32:32,880
Speaker 2: still working it out.

1823
01:32:32,920 --> 01:32:34,439
Speaker 1: But more on that coming up and.

1824
01:32:34,520 --> 01:32:38,320
Speaker 2: Additional details in the Arthur Smith Dennis Allen situation in

1825
01:32:38,400 --> 01:32:40,000
Speaker 2: New Orleans earlier today.

1826
01:32:40,080 --> 01:32:41,400
Speaker 1: All of that is coming up next.

1827

1833
01:32:58,000 --> 01:33:01,760
Speaker 2: Tyrag dot com Studios. Bill's looking hot in here, but

1834
01:33:02,040 --> 01:33:05,760
Speaker 2: they always do. At this point in the drive, they

1835
01:33:05,880 --> 01:33:08,680
Speaker 2: moved down the field and then something goes sideways, so

1836
01:33:08,760 --> 01:33:09,759
Speaker 2: we'll see they're into.

1837
01:33:09,640 --> 01:33:12,400
Speaker 1: Dolphins territory again.

1838
01:33:13,840 --> 01:33:18,479
Speaker 2: But the Dolphins continue to lead fourteen to seven as

1839
01:33:18,600 --> 01:33:21,559
Speaker 2: they move into the late portions of the third quarter

1840
01:33:21,800 --> 01:33:24,759
Speaker 2: in this very very pivotal matchup.

1841
01:33:24,920 --> 01:33:26,120
Speaker 1: So we'll get back to that.

1842
01:33:26,640 --> 01:33:30,120
Speaker 2: The playoff matchups are all set lots to get to

1843
01:33:30,280 --> 01:33:32,240
Speaker 2: with all of that, but circling back to where we

1844
01:33:32,360 --> 01:33:35,639
Speaker 2: started tonight, Carrie and it's Mark Willard and Kerry Rhodes

1845
01:33:35,680 --> 01:33:38,280
Speaker 2: with you carry in for Kyle Rudolph. Tonight, the Saints

1846
01:33:38,320 --> 01:33:41,760
Speaker 2: and Falcons played, and when you and I talked about

1847
01:33:41,800 --> 01:33:44,000
Speaker 2: this the first time around, we didn't really get to

1848
01:33:44,080 --> 01:33:47,080
Speaker 2: the portion of the story that's a little bit deeper.

1849
01:33:47,160 --> 01:33:51,320
Speaker 2: We talked about Arthur Smith being completely angry that on

1850
01:33:51,439 --> 01:33:53,080
Speaker 2: one of the last plays of the game, when the

1851
01:33:53,160 --> 01:33:56,639
Speaker 2: Saints could have taken a knee instead, they ran Jamal

1852
01:33:56,680 --> 01:33:59,360
Speaker 2: Williams in for a one yard touchdown, making a forty

1853
01:33:59,400 --> 01:34:01,640
Speaker 2: one to seven team game forty.

1854
01:34:01,439 --> 01:34:02,880
Speaker 1: Eight to seventeen.

1855
01:34:03,760 --> 01:34:08,680
Speaker 2: Apparently, Arthur Smith, coach of the Falcons, had the Falcons

1856
01:34:09,320 --> 01:34:14,599
Speaker 2: plus thirty and so he lost and was very very

1857
01:34:14,720 --> 01:34:18,160
Speaker 2: upset about it. I don't buy it at the pro

1858
01:34:18,280 --> 01:34:20,760
Speaker 2: sports level. I just don't think there's any such thing

1859
01:34:20,840 --> 01:34:24,040
Speaker 2: as rubbing it in or running it up. But Dennis

1860
01:34:24,160 --> 01:34:27,960
Speaker 2: Allen says that he put in victory formation and his

1861
01:34:28,200 --> 01:34:34,120
Speaker 2: players overruled him, ran a play that was counterintuitive to

1862
01:34:34,200 --> 01:34:37,679
Speaker 2: what he was trying to do because Williams hadn't scored

1863
01:34:37,720 --> 01:34:40,719
Speaker 2: a touchdown all year and they got him a score.

1864
01:34:41,600 --> 01:34:44,560
Speaker 1: Smith was furious. Allan was apologetic.

1865
01:34:45,800 --> 01:34:50,320
Speaker 2: I get why he apologized, But Carrie, let's dive into

1866
01:34:50,400 --> 01:34:53,400
Speaker 2: this angle of it a little bit. How do you

1867
01:34:53,520 --> 01:34:59,800
Speaker 2: feel about the idea of players wanting personal or statistical.

1868
01:34:59,160 --> 01:35:03,000
Speaker 1: Gain and doing it in in that way when you've

1869
01:35:03,040 --> 01:35:04,080
Speaker 1: already got a game in hand.

1870
01:35:04,800 --> 01:35:09,080
Speaker 3: Huh, Well, again, some of these guys have incentives they

1871
01:35:09,120 --> 01:35:14,160
Speaker 3: have they're trying to reach. Again, a guy that's been there,

1872
01:35:14,360 --> 01:35:17,760
Speaker 3: been tenured, a big player for them, hadn't scored a

1873
01:35:17,840 --> 01:35:21,040
Speaker 3: touchdown all year, last game of the season. Does it

1874
01:35:21,120 --> 01:35:24,840
Speaker 3: really matter Let the man score a touchdown, I mean,

1875
01:35:25,400 --> 01:35:27,800
Speaker 3: or you try to stop him and go from there.

1876
01:35:27,840 --> 01:35:31,160
Speaker 3: And if if the play was called, which I did say,

1877
01:35:31,160 --> 01:35:34,679
Speaker 3: I saw an interview with James Jameis Winston saying, yes,

1878
01:35:35,360 --> 01:35:38,280
Speaker 3: the victory formation was called, we had the option to

1879
01:35:38,360 --> 01:35:41,320
Speaker 3: override it. And as players. We wanted to get William

1880
01:35:41,360 --> 01:35:43,920
Speaker 3: to touch down, and that's what they did. And again,

1881
01:35:44,280 --> 01:35:46,559
Speaker 3: again you have a chance to stop that as well,

1882
01:35:46,600 --> 01:35:48,400
Speaker 3: and they did not stop it. So I mean, I'm

1883
01:35:48,439 --> 01:35:51,320
Speaker 3: all for taking care of players. You know, I'm a player,

1884
01:35:51,479 --> 01:35:54,160
Speaker 3: former player obviously, So if they want to get their

1885
01:35:54,200 --> 01:35:57,040
Speaker 3: guy a touchdown and you stop us, stop us.

1886
01:35:58,360 --> 01:36:01,599
Speaker 2: Kyle Shanahan earlier this year year was trying to get

1887
01:36:01,680 --> 01:36:08,599
Speaker 2: Christian McCaffrey a record of the streak for consecutive games

1888
01:36:08,640 --> 01:36:10,040
Speaker 2: with at least one touchdown.

1889
01:36:10,520 --> 01:36:15,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, it it eventually ended, but they.

1890
01:36:15,360 --> 01:36:17,519
Speaker 2: Made no bones about the fact that towards the end

1891
01:36:17,560 --> 01:36:20,320
Speaker 2: of the game, that's what they were trying to do. Obviously,

1892
01:36:20,439 --> 01:36:22,080
Speaker 2: they were doing it at a time where a game

1893
01:36:22,240 --> 01:36:24,320
Speaker 2: was completely in hand for the forty nine ers.

1894
01:36:25,080 --> 01:36:29,720
Speaker 8: Boy, I didn't I didn't hear anybody get upset. What's

1895
01:36:29,760 --> 01:36:33,120
Speaker 8: the difference, Well, we know the difference. Arth the Smith's

1896
01:36:33,160 --> 01:36:36,960
Speaker 8: on the hot seat. So again we talked about it.

1897
01:36:37,040 --> 01:36:39,720
Speaker 8: It's it's personal for him and and you know, like

1898
01:36:39,800 --> 01:36:41,880
Speaker 8: I said, emotions run high in that game, and we

1899
01:36:41,920 --> 01:36:45,240
Speaker 8: talked about emotions with Dan Campbell, right and how he

1900
01:36:45,360 --> 01:36:48,720
Speaker 8: got you know, excited and couldn't it was seeing red

1901
01:36:48,800 --> 01:36:52,439
Speaker 8: and couldn't differentiate between going for two at the at

1902
01:36:52,479 --> 01:36:56,559
Speaker 8: the thirty thirty five yard line or kid me extra points.

1903
01:36:56,640 --> 01:36:59,640
Speaker 8: So you know it happens in the hit the Battle sometimestimes.

1904
01:36:59,840 --> 01:37:02,760
Speaker 8: And you know, we saw Arthur Smith apologize as well

1905
01:37:02,800 --> 01:37:06,080
Speaker 8: about his behavior and even changed the tenor of what

1906
01:37:06,240 --> 01:37:08,160
Speaker 8: he was trying to communicate or convey after.

1907
01:37:08,280 --> 01:37:10,920
Speaker 3: But you know, it goes with it sometimes.

1908
01:37:10,720 --> 01:37:14,320
Speaker 1: Sometimes Yeah, I just don't and maybe I'm weird this way.

1909
01:37:14,400 --> 01:37:20,080
Speaker 2: I don't have any issue with guys wanting that kind

1910
01:37:20,200 --> 01:37:23,080
Speaker 2: of whether you want to refer to it as statistical

1911
01:37:23,240 --> 01:37:28,760
Speaker 2: glory or what have you. Like, I do love when

1912
01:37:29,000 --> 01:37:32,599
Speaker 2: when fans sit around and be like, come on, be classy,

1913
01:37:32,760 --> 01:37:37,639
Speaker 2: be like Barry Sanders, be classy, dude, score an NFL touchdown.

1914
01:37:37,800 --> 01:37:38,560
Speaker 3: That's amazing.

1915
01:37:38,800 --> 01:37:42,680
Speaker 2: It is like I please, like, I why and you

1916
01:37:42,880 --> 01:37:45,479
Speaker 2: pointed it out there? I think so often we look

1917
01:37:45,520 --> 01:37:49,280
Speaker 2: at this from the lens of well, you didn't need

1918
01:37:49,439 --> 01:37:53,160
Speaker 2: to score that, so be nice. Well you didn't need

1919
01:37:53,240 --> 01:37:57,759
Speaker 2: to care that he did. What the hell does Arthur Smith?

1920
01:37:58,600 --> 01:38:00,720
Speaker 2: Is he calling his boss and like, so we only

1921
01:38:00,800 --> 01:38:04,720
Speaker 2: lost forty one seventeen. Yeah, so I get to keep

1922
01:38:04,760 --> 01:38:07,920
Speaker 2: my job right, right, because we were we were tied

1923
01:38:08,000 --> 01:38:11,280
Speaker 2: at halftime, and then we got blown off of the

1924
01:38:11,400 --> 01:38:14,400
Speaker 2: field to the point where we only lost by twenty four.

1925
01:38:14,400 --> 01:38:16,439
Speaker 2: It's not like I lost by thirty one or anything.

1926
01:38:17,040 --> 01:38:20,200
Speaker 2: So you're gonna keep me right, Like, what is the

1927
01:38:20,320 --> 01:38:21,120
Speaker 2: damn difference?

1928
01:38:21,680 --> 01:38:23,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know. I mean the final score part

1929
01:38:23,640 --> 01:38:25,439
Speaker 3: of it. Yes, it doesn't, It doesn't make a difference.

1930
01:38:25,479 --> 01:38:29,400
Speaker 3: It's a loss, I think. I think there's finer details

1931
01:38:29,520 --> 01:38:33,960
Speaker 3: and if his players are still fighting for him, still

1932
01:38:34,000 --> 01:38:37,000
Speaker 3: competing for him, and I think that's the other underlying thing, right,

1933
01:38:37,120 --> 01:38:40,280
Speaker 3: So no matter what what's going on in the game,

1934
01:38:41,280 --> 01:38:45,639
Speaker 3: are they still listening, is his voice still being heard?

1935
01:38:46,439 --> 01:38:51,680
Speaker 3: Are they they trying their best to to not let

1936
01:38:51,800 --> 01:38:54,479
Speaker 3: this person score or let this team score. All these

1937
01:38:54,560 --> 01:38:57,559
Speaker 3: questions are the questions that I would have more than

1938
01:38:57,640 --> 01:38:59,760
Speaker 3: the actual final, final score, final score.

1939
01:39:00,840 --> 01:39:03,200
Speaker 2: I just think that sometimes we have a hard time

1940
01:39:03,280 --> 01:39:08,800
Speaker 2: as sports fans blending the difference between what's happening down

1941
01:39:08,880 --> 01:39:12,480
Speaker 2: the street at your local school on a Saturday afternoon

1942
01:39:13,160 --> 01:39:19,120
Speaker 2: and BA jillion dollar professional football. It's funny to me

1943
01:39:19,240 --> 01:39:23,080
Speaker 2: that we've now got room for feelings. We've got room

1944
01:39:23,120 --> 01:39:26,640
Speaker 2: for feelings. Carrie, Carrie Wide receivers used to come over

1945
01:39:26,720 --> 01:39:29,599
Speaker 2: the middle and you would take your and their life

1946
01:39:29,800 --> 01:39:30,799
Speaker 2: into your own hands.

1947
01:39:31,040 --> 01:39:35,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, and now we don't have an issue with that.

1948
01:39:36,400 --> 01:39:38,600
Speaker 1: But I'm I'm worried about a dude in.

1949
01:39:38,640 --> 01:39:44,040
Speaker 2: A baseball hat and his feelings because you scored a

1950
01:39:44,200 --> 01:39:47,200
Speaker 2: touchdown at the end of a decided game.

1951
01:39:48,640 --> 01:39:52,639
Speaker 1: Since when are we doing feelings in the NFL.

1952
01:39:52,840 --> 01:39:55,800
Speaker 3: I don't think we are. I think he is, and

1953
01:39:55,920 --> 01:40:00,599
Speaker 3: I think there has been in the past. It's almost

1954
01:40:00,680 --> 01:40:04,599
Speaker 3: like an unwritten rule or a code of ethics where

1955
01:40:05,360 --> 01:40:08,840
Speaker 3: you don't you don't embarrass your opponents, right, And I

1956
01:40:08,920 --> 01:40:10,880
Speaker 3: think that was taught. And so if you're from that.

1957
01:40:11,000 --> 01:40:11,920
Speaker 1: Old school.

1958
01:40:13,720 --> 01:40:17,720
Speaker 3: Approach to the game, then you would probably be a

1959
01:40:17,760 --> 01:40:21,120
Speaker 3: little bothered by that, right Yeah. So I think that's

1960
01:40:21,160 --> 01:40:25,360
Speaker 3: where this is is, I guess, becoming a conversation or

1961
01:40:25,360 --> 01:40:29,200
Speaker 3: a topic of discussion because now everything's so broadcast for

1962
01:40:29,280 --> 01:40:31,680
Speaker 3: the world to see. Every little thing, and the handshakes,

1963
01:40:32,080 --> 01:40:34,559
Speaker 3: the handshake line, all that stuff is very crystal clear.

1964
01:40:35,880 --> 01:40:39,879
Speaker 3: There's no grainy footage of the nineteen sixty five Cleveland

1965
01:40:41,160 --> 01:40:45,840
Speaker 3: Browns playing the old Baltimore Cults or something like. We

1966
01:40:45,880 --> 01:40:48,080
Speaker 3: can actually see everything that's going on, So to say

1967
01:40:48,479 --> 01:40:51,479
Speaker 3: that it hasn't happened in the past is not true.

1968
01:40:51,600 --> 01:40:53,680
Speaker 3: We just haven't seen it, so we see it all now.

1969
01:40:54,439 --> 01:40:56,560
Speaker 2: Well, you know what, the other funny thing is the

1970
01:40:56,720 --> 01:40:59,960
Speaker 2: sort of comical hypocrisy of all this. Now, Jamal Williams

1971
01:41:00,040 --> 01:41:02,880
Speaker 2: a very accomplished football player. Heck, I think he might

1972
01:41:02,960 --> 01:41:05,960
Speaker 2: have led the did he lead running backs and touchdowns

1973
01:41:06,040 --> 01:41:08,280
Speaker 2: last year? So it's not like the guy's never touched

1974
01:41:08,360 --> 01:41:10,400
Speaker 2: the end zone or something like that. This is a

1975
01:41:10,600 --> 01:41:13,760
Speaker 2: very very accomplished veteran player. But at the same time,

1976
01:41:14,320 --> 01:41:17,479
Speaker 2: the mere idea of hey, it's the end of the year,

1977
01:41:18,080 --> 01:41:21,920
Speaker 2: we've got a decided game, let's get a little nod

1978
01:41:22,520 --> 01:41:27,719
Speaker 2: to someone we love is something that is time honored

1979
01:41:28,479 --> 01:41:30,000
Speaker 2: and constant in sports.

1980
01:41:30,680 --> 01:41:34,160
Speaker 1: There's a movie about it. It's called Rudy. This is

1981
01:41:34,360 --> 01:41:36,640
Speaker 1: what we do. You get to the end of the

1982
01:41:36,760 --> 01:41:39,200
Speaker 1: year and a game.

1983
01:41:39,160 --> 01:41:42,320
Speaker 2: Is decided, and you start looking around and going, hey,

1984
01:41:42,960 --> 01:41:44,640
Speaker 2: who can we get a little Hey?

1985
01:41:44,720 --> 01:41:48,120
Speaker 1: How you doing to We do that even in youth sports,

1986
01:41:48,520 --> 01:41:49,479
Speaker 1: see it all the time.

1987
01:41:50,120 --> 01:41:53,920
Speaker 2: End of the year, Little Bobby hasn't scored all year

1988
01:41:54,080 --> 01:41:56,439
Speaker 2: long because he rides the pend.

1989
01:41:56,640 --> 01:42:00,040
Speaker 3: You because you said Bobby's very clearly.

1990
01:42:03,600 --> 01:42:06,920
Speaker 1: Right, I mean, he's the least athletic kid on the team.

1991
01:42:07,600 --> 01:42:08,120
Speaker 1: Let's see.

1992
01:42:08,200 --> 01:42:10,400
Speaker 2: In fact, I've even seen coaches have a little meeting

1993
01:42:10,479 --> 01:42:13,880
Speaker 2: with each other. Hey, get your let.

1994
01:42:13,800 --> 01:42:15,280
Speaker 1: The get out of the way for a little bit.

1995
01:42:15,360 --> 01:42:17,320
Speaker 2: Let's you see, get this kid a shot at the

1996
01:42:17,360 --> 01:42:19,400
Speaker 2: hoop and see if he could put a bucket in

1997
01:42:19,880 --> 01:42:21,880
Speaker 2: because he hasn't scored one all year long.

1998
01:42:22,439 --> 01:42:24,639
Speaker 1: And we do it. And when we do it, oh

1999
01:42:24,720 --> 01:42:25,480
Speaker 1: my gosh.

2000
01:42:25,280 --> 01:42:29,160
Speaker 2: It's a standing ovation amongst all of the parents because

2001
01:42:29,160 --> 01:42:30,320
Speaker 2: the cutest thing happened.

2002
01:42:30,320 --> 01:42:32,960
Speaker 1: I hope you got a video for Instagram, but.

2003
01:42:33,120 --> 01:42:35,400
Speaker 2: But but here we do it for Jamal Williams, who

2004
01:42:35,439 --> 01:42:37,960
Speaker 2: the Saints loved, because the dude's a total team leader.

2005
01:42:38,720 --> 01:42:41,800
Speaker 1: And we're we're offended till we're red in the face.

2006
01:42:42,360 --> 01:42:44,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think, yeah, right, but I don't think.

2007
01:42:45,160 --> 01:42:47,280
Speaker 3: I don't think we're really offended. I mean, I'm sure

2008
01:42:47,280 --> 01:42:49,120
Speaker 3: you can see. I mean, I know you're not off

2009
01:42:50,000 --> 01:42:53,320
Speaker 3: and I'm not offended, but I'm sure again, there are

2010
01:42:53,439 --> 01:42:56,040
Speaker 3: some old heads that are that are you know, in

2011
01:42:56,120 --> 01:42:59,600
Speaker 3: their in their sixties, and they're they just learn how

2012
01:42:59,640 --> 01:43:02,640
Speaker 3: to do her X a couple of months ago, and

2013
01:43:02,720 --> 01:43:06,080
Speaker 3: they're responding to it right, and so the old the

2014
01:43:06,160 --> 01:43:10,960
Speaker 3: old way would be, you've won the game, you take

2015
01:43:11,000 --> 01:43:13,680
Speaker 3: a knee, and you get out of there, right, right.

2016
01:43:13,800 --> 01:43:16,599
Speaker 3: But again, what we talked about, we don't know all

2017
01:43:16,680 --> 01:43:20,040
Speaker 3: the interworkings of what they know. Well, we do know

2018
01:43:20,120 --> 01:43:23,640
Speaker 3: that they it was the play was over ridden to

2019
01:43:24,200 --> 01:43:27,920
Speaker 3: to get a guy who's been there busting this tail

2020
01:43:28,040 --> 01:43:30,599
Speaker 3: all year to get him a touchdown. That's a great

2021
01:43:30,640 --> 01:43:32,519
Speaker 3: story on one end, and on the other end, the

2022
01:43:32,560 --> 01:43:34,640
Speaker 3: people that are losing, they take a certain you know,

2023
01:43:35,280 --> 01:43:39,960
Speaker 3: they take a certain uh I guess disliking to that that.

2024
01:43:40,280 --> 01:43:43,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, look, he's only twenty eight years old. Like the

2025
01:43:43,800 --> 01:43:46,760
Speaker 2: thought across my mind too, I'm like, is he retiring? Maybe,

2026
01:43:46,840 --> 01:43:51,240
Speaker 2: But like I doubt it. He's only twenty eight years

2027
01:43:51,280 --> 01:43:56,000
Speaker 2: old and still a very productive back rush for almost

2028
01:43:56,040 --> 01:43:59,720
Speaker 2: four thousand yards in his career. So but who knows,

2029
01:43:59,840 --> 01:44:01,240
Speaker 2: you know, I mean, if you were to hear that

2030
01:44:01,320 --> 01:44:03,800
Speaker 2: announcement the next day, wouldn't you feel a little bit

2031
01:44:03,880 --> 01:44:06,880
Speaker 2: different about the what the Saints just did?

2032
01:44:07,400 --> 01:44:08,920
Speaker 1: So who knows?

2033
01:44:09,080 --> 01:44:13,599
Speaker 2: But either way, Mark Willard Carry Rhodes and we've got

2034
01:44:13,640 --> 01:44:14,920
Speaker 2: the playoff matchup set.

2035
01:44:15,000 --> 01:44:16,519
Speaker 1: We'll talk more about them coming up.

2036
01:44:16,680 --> 01:44:19,160
Speaker 2: But Nick Cope's gonna jump in right now and tell

2037
01:44:19,200 --> 01:44:21,920
Speaker 2: all of you exactly what they are with what's trending?

2038
01:44:21,960 --> 01:44:23,240
Speaker 3: Hey, Nick, Hey, what's up guys.

2039
01:44:23,320 --> 01:44:24,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'll get to those in just a moment, But

2040
01:44:24,960 --> 01:44:27,760
Speaker 4: just to update this Sunday night football game. Dolphins still

2041
01:44:27,840 --> 01:44:31,000
Speaker 4: leading the Bills fourteen to seven, the fourth quarter just

2042
01:44:31,200 --> 01:44:34,840
Speaker 4: underway in South Florida. Tough night for Josh Allen. He's

2043
01:44:34,880 --> 01:44:37,799
Speaker 4: thrown two to interceptions and the moments to go Buffalo

2044
01:44:37,960 --> 01:44:41,439
Speaker 4: driving again, but a strip sack from the Dolphins able

2045
01:44:41,479 --> 01:44:44,160
Speaker 4: to take the ball away. So three turnovers for Josh

2046
01:44:44,200 --> 01:44:47,920
Speaker 4: Allen and they've all come in plus territory as well,

2047
01:44:48,439 --> 01:44:51,920
Speaker 4: and Miami is currently on the move. They just had

2048
01:44:52,000 --> 01:44:54,760
Speaker 4: a completion of Tyreekill challenge. Looks like it's going to

2049
01:44:54,800 --> 01:44:57,840
Speaker 4: be reversed, but Miami leading by seven. They still got

2050
01:44:57,880 --> 01:45:00,840
Speaker 4: the entire fourth quarter to go. News in this game,

2051
01:45:00,880 --> 01:45:03,880
Speaker 4: Bills receiver Gabe Davis out with the knee injury, and

2052
01:45:04,040 --> 01:45:08,120
Speaker 4: another injury for the Dolphins defense, linebacker Andrew van Ginkel.

2053
01:45:08,240 --> 01:45:11,759
Speaker 4: He has been ruled out with a foot injury. Again,

2054
01:45:12,000 --> 01:45:15,559
Speaker 4: seven point lead for Miami. We could have this same

2055
01:45:15,680 --> 01:45:19,200
Speaker 4: matchup if the score holds again next weekend, Let's get

2056
01:45:19,240 --> 01:45:21,519
Speaker 4: to the Super wild Card weekend. In the schedule, it's

2057
01:45:21,560 --> 01:45:24,160

Speaker 4: if you want to watch the Chiefs, you're gonna have

2062
01:45:36,120 --> 01:45:37,240
Speaker 4: to get Peacock to do it.

2063
01:45:37,680 --> 01:45:39,160
Speaker 3: Based on the current score here.

2064

Speaker 4: In Sunday Night Football, it would be the Steelers at

2065

Speaker 4: the Chiefs, and then we would get the rematch of

2066

2079
01:46:23,439 --> 01:46:27,000
Speaker 4: deal will be deferred into the twenty thirties. Let's go

2080
01:46:27,040 --> 01:46:29,160
Speaker 4: back to Mark Willard and carry Rhoades Roads.

2081
01:46:29,400 --> 01:46:31,920
Speaker 2: Okay, Nick, thank you very much, appreciate it. We are

2082
01:46:32,000 --> 01:46:34,599
Speaker 2: live in the tire rack dot Com studios and taking

2083
01:46:34,680 --> 01:46:37,599
Speaker 2: a look at all these matchups, and there is already

2084
01:46:37,680 --> 01:46:40,759
Speaker 2: movement on the lines as we were talking about them earlier.

2085
01:46:40,840 --> 01:46:44,479
Speaker 2: The Texans that two point underdog, they are now one

2086
01:46:44,520 --> 01:46:46,320
Speaker 2: and a half point underdog.

2087
01:46:45,960 --> 01:46:47,719
Speaker 1: So there's money coming in on Houston.

2088
01:46:48,200 --> 01:46:51,080
Speaker 2: And the Cowboys have already gone from a seven point

2089
01:46:51,120 --> 01:46:53,800
Speaker 2: favorite to a seven and a half point favorite over

2090
01:46:53,920 --> 01:46:57,280
Speaker 2: the Green Bay Packers. Lions holding as a three point

2091
01:46:57,360 --> 01:47:01,560
Speaker 2: favorite over the Rams, and there's movement for the Eagles

2092
01:47:01,720 --> 01:47:04,880
Speaker 2: as well, that started as a three point favorite at

2093
01:47:04,920 --> 01:47:07,960
Speaker 2: Tampa Bay down to two and a half.

2094
01:47:08,960 --> 01:47:12,160
Speaker 1: What's your read on any of that movement as we

2095
01:47:12,240 --> 01:47:13,280
Speaker 1: get ready for these games.

2096
01:47:13,320 --> 01:47:15,479
Speaker 3: Before I talk about the movement, just think about this

2097
01:47:15,680 --> 01:47:19,519
Speaker 3: right now. We got we got the Steelers and the Chiefs.

2098
01:47:19,760 --> 01:47:23,240
Speaker 3: You got Patrick Mahomes game. That's not going to be seen.

2099
01:47:24,520 --> 01:47:26,519
Speaker 3: We've we've gone to the we've gotten to the point

2100
01:47:26,520 --> 01:47:30,680
Speaker 3: where where they're on the they're the consolation prize. If

2101
01:47:30,720 --> 01:47:32,920
Speaker 3: you want to see them, if you if you want

2102
01:47:33,000 --> 01:47:34,680
Speaker 3: to see that game, you can check it out here.

2103
01:47:35,040 --> 01:47:38,800
Speaker 3: That's that's that's the crazy part about that. What Nick

2104
01:47:38,960 --> 01:47:40,759
Speaker 3: just said to me right now, that's that's correct.

2105
01:47:40,760 --> 01:47:43,400
Speaker 2: Well, that's because they want they want to stream Chiefs

2106
01:47:43,479 --> 01:47:46,200
Speaker 2: games because all of the teenage girls who want to.

2107
01:47:46,200 --> 01:47:48,080
Speaker 1: Watch Taylor Swift they've got peacock.

2108
01:47:48,280 --> 01:47:51,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, they know all the streaming services Carrie, so they'll

2109
01:47:51,720 --> 01:47:52,639
Speaker 2: be ready for that one.

2110
01:47:52,760 --> 01:47:55,080
Speaker 3: That's what it is. Okay, got it? Now it makes

2111
01:47:55,120 --> 01:47:57,760
Speaker 3: sense because Carrie is not Carrie doesn't have Peacock. So

2112
01:47:57,800 --> 01:48:01,120
Speaker 3: I'm just gonna yeah, I'll, I'll may come into Fox

2113
01:48:01,200 --> 01:48:03,160
Speaker 3: and check it out, like I said. But uh yeah,

2114
01:48:03,160 --> 01:48:06,120
Speaker 3: I mean the lines. I mean that that Dallas line,

2115
01:48:06,200 --> 01:48:07,760
Speaker 3: that's the one that sticks out to me so far,

2116
01:48:08,360 --> 01:48:12,000
Speaker 3: the fact that they got them. You know, seven, seven

2117
01:48:12,040 --> 01:48:14,120
Speaker 3: and a half and a half, that's a big number.

2118
01:48:14,200 --> 01:48:16,280
Speaker 3: Green Bay's playing well too. I mean, I know, I

2119
01:48:16,400 --> 01:48:19,320
Speaker 3: know the defense is a little a little hit and

2120
01:48:19,439 --> 01:48:22,280
Speaker 3: miss with them, and they haven't been healthy, but Jortan

2121
01:48:22,280 --> 01:48:23,720
Speaker 3: Low is playing well, and so I could see that

2122
01:48:23,800 --> 01:48:25,760
Speaker 3: game definitely being closer than that line is.

2123
01:48:25,840 --> 01:48:29,280
Speaker 2: Right now, Cowboys have been a dominant home they have

2124
01:48:29,600 --> 01:48:31,920
Speaker 2: they had this year, they've been a dominant home team,

2125
01:48:32,960 --> 01:48:37,720
Speaker 2: and they've been dominant against the lesser and and and

2126
01:48:37,840 --> 01:48:42,320
Speaker 2: Green Bay. Like you said, they're they're they're capable, They're

2127
01:48:42,439 --> 01:48:46,240
Speaker 2: they're solid, but I don't know if they're a really

2128
01:48:46,360 --> 01:48:49,680
Speaker 2: good team. And uh, and so it does sort of

2129
01:48:49,760 --> 01:48:53,720
Speaker 2: feel like it feels like a good spot for for

2130
01:48:53,800 --> 01:48:55,960
Speaker 2: the for the Cowboys, I guess I'll put it that way.

2131
01:48:56,360 --> 01:48:57,960
Speaker 1: It feels like a good spot for them.

2132
01:48:58,640 --> 01:49:03,760
Speaker 2: And but you know, I mean, that's it, like as

2133
01:49:03,800 --> 01:49:06,479
Speaker 2: soon as they soon as they win that game, all

2134
01:49:06,640 --> 01:49:09,479
Speaker 2: all bets are off as far as what happens with

2135
01:49:09,600 --> 01:49:12,679
Speaker 2: the Cowboys if and when they get to the second

2136
01:49:12,760 --> 01:49:17,120
Speaker 2: weekend and have to go up against some some actual beasts,

2137
01:49:17,240 --> 01:49:19,400
Speaker 2: because those that just usually does not go well for

2138
01:49:19,479 --> 01:49:20,080
Speaker 2: the Cowboys.

2139
01:49:20,280 --> 01:49:20,479
Speaker 1: Man.

2140
01:49:20,800 --> 01:49:23,000
Speaker 3: It's it's one of those it's one of those things

2141
01:49:23,040 --> 01:49:26,439
Speaker 3: where I'm not even a Cowboys fan, and it's just

2142
01:49:26,600 --> 01:49:30,120
Speaker 3: like when is it gonna be time? I Mean, they've

2143
01:49:30,160 --> 01:49:32,960
Speaker 3: had some teams here where they they were the better

2144
01:49:33,040 --> 01:49:37,400
Speaker 3: team obviously and lost in the playoffs. And even Mike McCarthy,

2145
01:49:37,840 --> 01:49:39,880
Speaker 3: I mean we we even saw the other the other

2146
01:49:40,000 --> 01:49:44,519
Speaker 3: week where they gave the Lions a chance to win

2147
01:49:44,600 --> 01:49:48,639
Speaker 3: that game down the stretch because of just bad clock management,

2148
01:49:48,720 --> 01:49:52,720
Speaker 3: which has been part of Mike McCarthy's deal. But it's

2149
01:49:52,840 --> 01:49:54,840
Speaker 3: it's gonna be interesting to see. Yeah, like you said,

2150
01:49:54,960 --> 01:49:58,519
Speaker 3: once they get into that, all right, we're just as

2151
01:49:58,560 --> 01:50:01,160
Speaker 3: good as you are. Let's see what happens.

2152
01:50:03,080 --> 01:50:06,120
Speaker 1: I'm laughing, don't you do? You know why I'm laughing.

2153
01:50:06,280 --> 01:50:08,920
Speaker 3: I saw something happening out my peripheral, but I didn't

2154
01:50:08,920 --> 01:50:09,559
Speaker 3: see what happened.

2155
01:50:09,600 --> 01:50:12,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, No, you're making great points. I'm not laughing

2156
01:50:12,880 --> 01:50:13,559
Speaker 1: at you. Yeah.

2157
01:50:14,280 --> 01:50:21,000
Speaker 2: I'm watching a ninety guard punt return for a touchdown

2158
01:50:21,520 --> 01:50:25,360
Speaker 2: by the Buffalo Bills here in the fourth quarter, extra

2159
01:50:25,520 --> 01:50:30,080
Speaker 2: point pending. There are no flags on the field, and

2160
01:50:30,240 --> 01:50:33,439
Speaker 2: it looks like we are about to be tied in

2161
01:50:33,640 --> 01:50:34,200
Speaker 2: quarter four.

2162
01:50:34,520 --> 01:50:38,040
Speaker 3: You never catch the ball inside the ten, exactly what

2163
01:50:38,200 --> 01:50:40,759
Speaker 3: my coach would tell me. But look at this touchdown.

2164
01:50:40,920 --> 01:50:41,320
Speaker 3: That's cool.

2165
01:50:41,439 --> 01:50:43,800
Speaker 2: Yep, I'll kick the coverage, is what happened, though, So

2166
01:50:43,920 --> 01:50:45,720
Speaker 2: he fielded it because he had a ton of room

2167
01:50:46,200 --> 01:50:49,679
Speaker 2: and then boom he hit the Jets and this one.

2168
01:50:49,720 --> 01:50:52,240
Speaker 1: Was like you could see it his own thirty yard line.

2169
01:50:52,280 --> 01:50:53,120
Speaker 1: It was a touchdown.

2170
01:50:53,320 --> 01:50:55,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it was like, oh my gosh, he

2171
01:50:55,760 --> 01:50:59,920
Speaker 2: busted through the wedge and it was just wide open space.

2172
01:51:00,840 --> 01:51:06,080
Speaker 2: And indeed, we're about to have a tie game in Miami,

2173
01:51:06,600 --> 01:51:09,479
Speaker 2: and so this one's gonna be coming down to the

2174
01:51:09,560 --> 01:51:12,719
Speaker 2: wire between these two for who wins the AFC East

2175
01:51:12,800 --> 01:51:16,400
Speaker 2: and how that sets up the matchups. So a little

2176
01:51:16,439 --> 01:51:19,640
Speaker 2: bit more on that coming up next, because I do

2177
01:51:19,800 --> 01:51:23,639
Speaker 2: wonder if people have thought about the Stafford golf game

2178
01:51:23,760 --> 01:51:27,240
Speaker 2: that everyone's buzzing about, have you thought about what is

2179
01:51:27,439 --> 01:51:28,920
Speaker 2: probably gonna happen.

2180
01:51:28,920 --> 01:51:34,200
Speaker 1: Next, no matter who wins. I'll explain what I'm getting at.

2181
01:51:34,320 --> 01:51:36,800
Speaker 2: Coming up next, we'll talk it out with Kerrie Rhoads

Speaker 2: minutes to go, TI football game in South Beach.

2193
01:52:09,160 --> 01:52:11,320
Speaker 1: Pretty good one as it's turned out it is.

2194
01:52:12,040 --> 01:52:14,880
Speaker 3: It is getting down to winning time now, is what

2195
01:52:15,000 --> 01:52:18,600
Speaker 3: we call it. And I mean Miami. Miami should be

2196
01:52:18,760 --> 01:52:22,240
Speaker 3: up in this game after the way that Buffalo has

2197
01:52:22,280 --> 01:52:25,639
Speaker 3: been reckless with the ball. But here we are, fourteen

2198
01:52:25,760 --> 01:52:30,439
Speaker 3: fourteen with twelve minutes to go for the AFC East Division.

2199
01:52:30,520 --> 01:52:32,800
Speaker 3: It's it's going down to the wire.

2200
01:52:32,880 --> 01:52:36,599
Speaker 1: Baby. Yeah. So again, if if you're with us right now,

2201
01:52:36,720 --> 01:52:37,000
Speaker 1: if the.

2202
01:52:37,040 --> 01:52:39,920
Speaker 2: Dolphins win this game, these same two teams will play

2203
01:52:39,960 --> 01:52:42,240
Speaker 2: again in Miami next week.

2204
01:52:42,760 --> 01:52:44,719
Speaker 1: If the Bills win this football game.

2205
01:52:44,560 --> 01:52:48,160
Speaker 2: Miami finds themselves at Arrowhead and the Bills will have

2206
01:52:49,080 --> 01:52:53,120
Speaker 2: a no TJ. Watt Pittsburgh Steelers team in Buffalo next

2207
01:52:53,160 --> 01:52:56,439
Speaker 2: week with temperatures soaring all the way up to about

2208
01:52:56,479 --> 01:52:57,360
Speaker 2: fourteen degrees.

2209
01:52:57,520 --> 01:53:02,960
Speaker 3: Oh man, those those games aren't fun. It's as much

2210
01:53:03,000 --> 01:53:05,439
Speaker 3: as much as they used to say it's football weather,

2211
01:53:05,520 --> 01:53:08,679
Speaker 3: it's not football weather, it's it's me and Tie weather.

2212
01:53:10,439 --> 01:53:13,000
Speaker 1: Did you watch Pats and jets at all today you

2213
01:53:13,120 --> 01:53:15,120
Speaker 1: put on that uniform. I'm sure you've been in those

2214
01:53:15,160 --> 01:53:15,800
Speaker 1: of time or two.

2215
01:53:16,000 --> 01:53:17,600
Speaker 3: I have been in a couple of those, and like

2216
01:53:17,680 --> 01:53:20,400
Speaker 3: I said, I'm speaking from experience, guys, So if you're listening,

2217
01:53:21,240 --> 01:53:23,439
Speaker 3: it is not fun and it is not football weather.

2218
01:53:23,680 --> 01:53:23,880
Speaker 1: Yeah.

2219
01:53:24,240 --> 01:53:26,439
Speaker 3: I remember one game playing in Green Bay in my

2220
01:53:26,520 --> 01:53:29,479
Speaker 3: second year two thousand and six. I think, yeah, oh, man,

2221
01:53:29,600 --> 01:53:32,719
Speaker 3: just made myself same, really old two thousand and six.

2222
01:53:33,520 --> 01:53:38,200
Speaker 3: It was negative for wind chilled and wind chill and

2223
01:53:38,400 --> 01:53:43,720
Speaker 3: I had to I say this very very correct with

2224
01:53:43,840 --> 01:53:46,720
Speaker 3: my verbiage. I had to catch an interception once time

2225
01:53:48,200 --> 01:53:50,320
Speaker 3: from Brett Favre and it was not pretty. It was

2226
01:53:50,439 --> 01:53:52,920
Speaker 3: not nice. I caught it, but I wanted to put

2227
01:53:52,960 --> 01:53:54,800
Speaker 3: it back down it was that hard. So yeah, it's

2228
01:53:54,840 --> 01:53:55,160
Speaker 3: not fun.

2229
01:53:55,760 --> 01:53:59,599
Speaker 2: It's like someone throwing an absolute ice ball. You did

2230
01:53:59,640 --> 01:54:01,280
Speaker 2: it stick to you or did you actually catch it?

2231
01:54:01,360 --> 01:54:03,000
Speaker 3: Oh? I caught it with my hands too. That that

2232
01:54:03,560 --> 01:54:06,080
Speaker 3: was the most impressive part of it. But like I said,

2233
01:54:06,200 --> 01:54:06,960
Speaker 3: it was not fun.

2234
01:54:09,840 --> 01:54:14,000
Speaker 2: Unbelievable, man, I tell you what though, fascinating to look

2235
01:54:14,040 --> 01:54:16,240
Speaker 2: at that NFC structure, which is the side that we

2236
01:54:16,360 --> 01:54:19,559
Speaker 2: already know. So everyone's buzzing, right, Stafford and golf. Golf

2237
01:54:19,600 --> 01:54:22,519
Speaker 2: and Stafford Rams are hot. Here we go, Dan Campbell,

2238
01:54:22,560 --> 01:54:25,840
Speaker 2: what's he going to do this time? You realize the

2239
01:54:26,080 --> 01:54:30,000
Speaker 2: likelihood is is that if the Lions are able to

2240
01:54:30,080 --> 01:54:36,160
Speaker 2: win that football game over the Rams, they're gonna get

2241
01:54:36,280 --> 01:54:41,720
Speaker 2: yet another juicy set up that everyone's gonna buzz about,

2242
01:54:41,840 --> 01:54:45,040
Speaker 2: which is they're gonna go right back to Dallas and

2243
01:54:45,440 --> 01:54:46,160
Speaker 2: try again.

2244
01:54:46,560 --> 01:54:50,000
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, And that'll be a game that a lot

2245
01:54:50,040 --> 01:54:52,360
Speaker 3: of people will be tuned into, I mean, obviously from

2246
01:54:52,960 --> 01:54:55,120
Speaker 3: the prior game, just a couple of weeks ago, not

2247
01:54:55,240 --> 01:54:58,080
Speaker 3: being too far removed from that situation where we all

2248
01:54:58,200 --> 01:55:01,600
Speaker 3: know there was some contra and you know, the Lions

2249
01:55:01,640 --> 01:55:05,200
Speaker 3: felt that they should have won that game in Dallas.

2250
01:55:05,600 --> 01:55:09,560
Speaker 3: It'll be a fun game, I would, man, it'll be

2251
01:55:09,600 --> 01:55:11,320
Speaker 3: a pick them. It'll be a pick them too, I mean,

2252
01:55:11,400 --> 01:55:13,080
Speaker 3: and either one of those teams could win that.

2253
01:55:13,160 --> 01:55:16,400
Speaker 2: Game well, and we would obviously have more information because

2254
01:55:16,440 --> 01:55:18,560
Speaker 2: we'd seen both teams play. I don't want to dismiss

2255
01:55:18,600 --> 01:55:21,360
Speaker 2: the Packers' chances to win that football game, and if

2256
01:55:21,640 --> 01:55:24,760
Speaker 2: they win, they would automatically go to San Francisco the

2257
01:55:24,840 --> 01:55:27,320
Speaker 2: next week. But if Dallas is able to win and

2258
01:55:27,400 --> 01:55:31,000
Speaker 2: then the Rams come out of that game against Detroit,

2259
01:55:31,400 --> 01:55:35,400
Speaker 2: then then it's the Rams who would automatically go to

2260
01:55:35,480 --> 01:55:40,000
Speaker 2: San Francisco, which is its own sort of juicy situation

2261
01:55:40,280 --> 01:55:43,520
Speaker 2: because those two teams know each other so well. Yes,

2262
01:55:43,680 --> 01:55:47,200
Speaker 2: they've had so many recent playoff battles, and of course

2263
01:55:47,280 --> 01:55:51,080
Speaker 2: the whole McVeigh Shanahan thing where they used to be

2264
01:55:51,560 --> 01:55:55,360
Speaker 2: assistants who came up together in Washington and beyond, and

2265
01:55:55,560 --> 01:55:59,120
Speaker 2: so uh, the NFL. Let's put it this way. I

2266
01:55:59,200 --> 01:56:01,240
Speaker 2: do not believe that anything is scripted in the.

2267
01:56:01,320 --> 01:56:03,520
Speaker 3: National Football League, but I think you don't think.

2268
01:56:04,840 --> 01:56:07,040
Speaker 1: I do think. I do think that the.

2269
01:56:07,120 --> 01:56:10,400
Speaker 2: League office and the TV execs are feeling very good

2270
01:56:10,480 --> 01:56:13,560
Speaker 2: about some of the possibilities in the NFC.

2271
01:56:13,760 --> 01:56:15,880
Speaker 3: I'm so glad you brought that up because I was

2272
01:56:15,960 --> 01:56:18,320
Speaker 3: literally thinking about it and I wanted to say it earlier,

2273
01:56:18,440 --> 01:56:20,160
Speaker 3: but I'm glad you came back around to it. That's

2274
01:56:20,200 --> 01:56:24,320
Speaker 3: why you're so great Mark the script writers, and I'm

2275
01:56:24,400 --> 01:56:27,240
Speaker 3: sure Arian Foster was at home watching watching all this

2276
01:56:27,440 --> 01:56:30,320
Speaker 3: unravel and say, see, I told you so.

2277
01:56:32,120 --> 01:56:34,000
Speaker 1: You know what's funny. What's funny is that we're having

2278
01:56:34,040 --> 01:56:34,640
Speaker 1: this conversation.

2279
01:56:34,760 --> 01:56:37,880
Speaker 2: So my daughter, who is actually gotten into football at

2280
01:56:37,880 --> 01:56:40,280
Speaker 2: a much higher level this year. She's fourteen years old.

2281
01:56:41,360 --> 01:56:43,440
Speaker 2: The other day at breakfast, she looks at me and

2282
01:56:43,560 --> 01:56:44,080
Speaker 2: she goes.

2283
01:56:44,040 --> 01:56:49,440
Speaker 1: Hey, Dad, is it scripted? Wow? And I'm like, well, no,

2284
01:56:50,440 --> 01:56:53,919
Speaker 1: you know, I know how how would that be possible?

2285
01:56:54,040 --> 01:56:55,960
Speaker 2: I know, you know what I mean, Like, yes, you've

2286
01:56:55,960 --> 01:56:59,400
Speaker 2: got a very big entertainment entity here. There's billions of

2287
01:56:59,480 --> 01:57:02,080
Speaker 2: dollars at stake. So do you want to be skeptical?

2288
01:57:02,600 --> 01:57:03,360
Speaker 2: I guess you can.

2289
01:57:03,520 --> 01:57:06,280
Speaker 1: But think of how many human beings would have to

2290
01:57:06,360 --> 01:57:07,200
Speaker 1: be in on the bit.

2291
01:57:08,000 --> 01:57:12,000
Speaker 2: And oh, by the way, their money and their bodies

2292
01:57:12,480 --> 01:57:16,560
Speaker 2: would just be collateral damage or a byproduct to this

2293
01:57:16,760 --> 01:57:18,480
Speaker 2: larger game that would be played.

2294
01:57:18,600 --> 01:57:22,160
Speaker 1: Like, come on, it's not and it's funny.

2295
01:57:22,280 --> 01:57:24,840
Speaker 2: In about six minutes of discussing it, I don't think

2296
01:57:24,880 --> 01:57:25,640
Speaker 2: I convinced her.

2297
01:57:27,680 --> 01:57:29,080
Speaker 3: Smart smart, smart girl.

2298
01:57:29,200 --> 01:57:29,560
Speaker 1: No, but no.

2299
01:57:29,680 --> 01:57:32,280
Speaker 3: It's one of those things where when he said it,

2300
01:57:32,320 --> 01:57:36,000
Speaker 3: I remember it and I was like, okay, I was

2301
01:57:36,040 --> 01:57:38,000
Speaker 3: an All Pro player, I was pretty good. I didn't

2302
01:57:38,040 --> 01:57:39,200
Speaker 3: get the script, you know what I mean? Like, I'm like,

2303
01:57:39,320 --> 01:57:40,160
Speaker 3: why what I get?

2304
01:57:41,160 --> 01:57:42,240
Speaker 1: Everybody ever call you.

2305
01:57:42,680 --> 01:57:45,280
Speaker 2: No, like, yeah, Brett Farb's gonna throw you the ball,

2306
01:57:45,320 --> 01:57:46,240
Speaker 2: but it's gonna be really cold.

2307
01:57:46,280 --> 01:57:50,240
Speaker 3: So it right, it's a lot of moving parts. Now,

2308
01:57:50,280 --> 01:57:54,560
Speaker 3: I could I understand from I guesst the bird's eye view,

2309
01:57:54,720 --> 01:57:58,120
Speaker 3: right there are certain matchups that we know, we're talking

2310
01:57:58,120 --> 01:58:01,080
Speaker 3: about them now right there. There there are some matchups

2311
01:58:01,120 --> 01:58:04,200
Speaker 3: that are juicy, more juicy than the others, and so

2312
01:58:04,440 --> 01:58:07,760
Speaker 3: that makes sense. But as far as what's gonna happen

2313
01:58:08,520 --> 01:58:11,240
Speaker 3: and all those things being lined up before the season,

2314
01:58:11,280 --> 01:58:14,040
Speaker 3: even stars, it's just it's just crazy to think about.

2315
01:58:14,320 --> 01:58:15,800
Speaker 3: Somebody actually thinks that's the case.

2316
01:58:16,920 --> 01:58:20,760
Speaker 2: Speaking of crazy to think about, the script writers have

2317
01:58:20,920 --> 01:58:23,920
Speaker 2: put Dawson Knox in the end zone, I know, with

2318
01:58:24,800 --> 01:58:28,680
Speaker 2: seven minutes and sixteen seconds left to go, and just

2319
01:58:28,920 --> 01:58:32,480
Speaker 2: like that Lake Andy's split. In six game minutes, you

2320
01:58:32,640 --> 01:58:35,040
Speaker 2: go from a fourteen to seven lead for the Dolphins

2321
01:58:35,440 --> 01:58:38,600
Speaker 2: to what is now a twenty to fourteen lead for

2322
01:58:38,680 --> 01:58:40,960
Speaker 2: the Bills with the extra point pending.

2323
01:58:42,200 --> 01:58:44,920
Speaker 3: That's cooret. I mean, they Miami. It's like I said,

2324
01:58:44,960 --> 01:58:47,640
Speaker 3: Miami should be up in this game a couple of scores,

2325
01:58:47,680 --> 01:58:51,400
Speaker 3: and they didn't capitalize on the mistakes that Buffalo you know,

2326
01:58:51,600 --> 01:58:53,520
Speaker 3: laid out there for them. Now they're down seven and

2327
01:58:54,160 --> 01:58:55,720
Speaker 3: now we're going to see what two was made of

2328
01:58:56,120 --> 01:58:57,920
Speaker 3: you know, he has a chance. Yeah, he has a

2329
01:58:58,000 --> 01:58:59,600
Speaker 3: chance to bring him back down and the tide the game.

2330
01:58:59,680 --> 01:59:02,520
Speaker 1: So we'll see our extra point is good as you said.

2331
01:59:02,600 --> 01:59:04,600
Speaker 2: So it's twenty one to fourteen down for the Bills,

2332
01:59:04,920 --> 01:59:08,720
Speaker 2: and if we play this out then real quick, I'd

2333
01:59:08,760 --> 01:59:12,160
Speaker 2: love your thoughts on if it continues to go this

2334
01:59:12,440 --> 01:59:17,120
Speaker 2: way the matchups that would be produced because of it.

2335
01:59:17,400 --> 01:59:20,160
Speaker 1: So, Dolphins at Chiefs, what do you think.

2336
01:59:21,120 --> 01:59:24,880
Speaker 3: The Dolphins don't play well in cold weather situations usually, right, So,

2337
01:59:25,160 --> 01:59:28,200
Speaker 3: I mean you're taking a team from South Beach and

2338
01:59:28,880 --> 01:59:31,400
Speaker 3: putting them into that climate. It'll be tough. It'll be

2339
01:59:31,440 --> 01:59:33,720
Speaker 3: tough for them, even though I don't I don't really

2340
01:59:33,760 --> 01:59:35,840
Speaker 3: believe in Kansas City at all, and I don't think

2341
01:59:35,880 --> 01:59:39,840
Speaker 3: they're they're the same team. I just don't see Miami

2342
01:59:39,880 --> 01:59:42,080
Speaker 3: being able to get through it well.

2343
01:59:42,240 --> 01:59:47,560
Speaker 2: And the scriptwriters, though, you know what the Tyreek Hill ball, Yes,

2344
01:59:47,760 --> 01:59:50,640
Speaker 2: I mean all year long, it's Mahomes has gotten no

2345
01:59:50,760 --> 01:59:54,000
Speaker 2: receivers to throw to. How about Tyreek Hill being on

2346
01:59:54,080 --> 01:59:57,000
Speaker 2: the other sideline when they open up their playoff run.

2347
01:59:57,640 --> 02:00:01,000
Speaker 3: We're seven minutes away from it being reality. That's that's

2348
02:00:01,080 --> 02:00:03,360
Speaker 3: true as well. So it'd be another fun storyline. I

2349
02:00:03,400 --> 02:00:06,680
Speaker 3: wonder if if they win, when would that time slot

2350
02:00:06,720 --> 02:00:08,440
Speaker 3: be for them? Would it still be that same game

2351
02:00:08,720 --> 02:00:09,360
Speaker 3: for Kennas City.

2352
02:00:10,040 --> 02:00:11,840
Speaker 1: I think I think they said that's going to be

2353
02:00:11,880 --> 02:00:13,240
Speaker 1: the second game on Saturday.

2354
02:00:13,360 --> 02:00:16,800
Speaker 2: That's already that's already an ink, so uh six days

2355
02:00:16,840 --> 02:00:18,640
Speaker 2: away all of a sudden, so a quick week for

2356
02:00:18,720 --> 02:00:22,280
Speaker 2: the Dolphins as well, potentially, Kerrie. Great to hear your voice, man,

2357
02:00:22,320 --> 02:00:23,240
Speaker 2: this was a whole lot of fun.

2358
02:00:23,360 --> 02:00:24,600
Speaker 3: Mark always man. Appreciate you.

2359
02:00:24,680 --> 02:00:28,640
Speaker 1: Man. All right, you two four, Carrie Rhoads. I'm Mark Willard.

2360
02:00:29,240 --> 02:00:32,280
Speaker 1: The playoffs are all or almost set.

2361
02:00:32,440 --> 02:00:36,640
Speaker 2: You'll get the final analysis coming up next on Fox

2362
02:00:36,680 --> 02:00:37,440
