Speaker 4: NFC Championship and AFC Championship weekend. We will get to

29
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:34,399
Speaker 4: those topics, but we're gonna start with this NFL Awards deal.

30
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:36,560
Speaker 4: I got kind of a theory on it, all right,

31
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 4: since I got the opportunity to have the mic, and

32
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,759
Speaker 4: I'm not sharing it with TJ and Plex. They they

33
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 4: are handling family business. Obviously, sons and daughters are doing

34
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 4: very well in athletics, so they.

35
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 1: Are moving around.

36
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 4: But I want to talk about this trickle down effect

37
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 4: that's going to come from the NFL Awards this year.

38
00:01:57,760 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 1: All right.

39
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 4: Now we're hearing all of the odds makers put out

40
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 4: there for the MVP of the Year, the NFL MVP

41
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 4: that you have the top guys being, obviously Josh Allen,

42
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:16,839
Speaker 4: Lamar Jackson, Saquon Barkley. Now they put out the other

43
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:20,640
Speaker 4: awards and we'll highlight those. We'll get to Offensive Player

44
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 4: of the Award at around in twenty twenty minutes or so,

45
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 4: we'll get to that, and we'll get to the rest

46
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,919
Speaker 4: of awards around like, yeah, thirty minutes or so from

47
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 4: now Coach of the Year and the end of the hour.

48
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 4: But for now, let's talk about the MVP award, because respectfully,

49
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:41,080
Speaker 4: I got to say this, if it's not going to

50
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:46,640
Speaker 4: a quarterback, which we understand why it goes to the quarterback,

51
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 4: and I'll get to that at the end of my

52
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 4: my thought here, but if it's going to the person

53
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 4: off of pure merit, off of what this all represents,

54
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 4: it's got.

55
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 1: To be Saquon Barkley. And if there were a.

56
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 4: Debate to say that there were an MVP outside of

57
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,919
Speaker 4: Sakwon Barkley that should get it, I think you got

58
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 4: to go with Lamar Jackson on this one. And it's

59
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 4: purely based upon huh, knowing that all of these guys

60
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:18,799
Speaker 4: are most valuable to their teams. But if we're talking

61
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:23,359
Speaker 4: about most Valuable player in the league, then all things given,

62
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 4: all of these finalists have met the criteria of being

63
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 4: the MVP of the league and of their team. So

64
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 4: what differentiates them?

65
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 1: Right?

66
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 4: Let me think about this, Right, I thought about it.

67
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 4: I put it down and it was like, you got

68
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 4: to look at it from this perspective, right, sa Kwon

69
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 4: Barkley would have should have could have broke the coveted

70
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 4: forty year old record held by Eric Dickerson. That's the

71
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 4: single season rushing record. Now, when you think about it,

72
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 4: we're talking about an award for a single season. So

73
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 4: how would it be possible? How would it be possible

74
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 4: in a league where football Keep in mind, they promote

75
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 4: what teamwork? What else did they promote? They promote camaraderie,

76
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 4: They promote sacrifice and service and selflessness, all these strong

77
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 4: values and beliefs that the NFL has built their reputation on.

78
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 4: If that's the case, all things given, don't we look

79
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:30,279
Speaker 4: at Sakuon Barkley not breaking the record as being more

80
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,039
Speaker 4: impactful than him.

81
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:34,839
Speaker 1: Breaking the records? Right?

82
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 4: And if I'm a voter, do not have to look

83
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,919
Speaker 4: at this in terms of what Saquon Barkley could have

84
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:49,040
Speaker 4: accomplished in this season had he not been a selfless person.

85
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 4: It just made me think about it. Right, You get

86
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 4: to the point of where you see a player basically

87
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:02,720
Speaker 4: exercise in the moment of truth. His teammate's success, his

88
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:10,279
Speaker 4: team's success, his community's success were more to him than

89
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:14,720
Speaker 4: his own personal success. His efforts are the reason why

90
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 4: the Philadelphia Eagles are in this game tomorrow. His numbers

91
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 4: state the truth. The fact of the matter is he

92
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 4: put this team on his back and their success has

93
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 4: run through them. So when you look at a most

94
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 4: valuable player of the league, everything everything that is connected to,

95
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 4: say Kwon Barkley screams the most valuable player in this league.

96
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 4: In fact, why Yata, why don't you throw out there

97
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 4: the Walter Payton Man of the Year. Who else has

98
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 4: served their team, their community and the league in the

99
00:05:56,240 --> 00:06:01,160
Speaker 4: way that Sakwon Barkley has in the most flattering manner.

100
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:05,599
Speaker 4: He has done everything correctly. This is not me being

101
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 4: a Saquon Barkley apologist.

102
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 1: This is not me.

103
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 4: You know, everybody knows he's a Penn Stater. I'm a

104
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:15,360
Speaker 4: Penn Stater. This is not me being a pro biased

105
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 4: Penn State former football player ringing the bell for Sakuon Barkley.

106
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:22,840
Speaker 4: All I'm saying is, just take a good look at

107
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 4: it when you think about it, if it's not Sakuon Barkley, Because.

108
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:28,839
Speaker 1: How would a voter.

109
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,840
Speaker 4: Not vote for Sakuon Barkley had he broke that forty

110
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 4: year old record.

111
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 1: You can't do it.

112
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:38,600
Speaker 4: You cannot justify one of the greatest records in the

113
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:42,360
Speaker 4: history of football. That would be like justifying not giving

114
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 4: a quarterback who broke the single season season passing record the.

115
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 1: MVP of the league. It doesn't work that way.

116
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:52,479
Speaker 4: And to that point, we'll get into some stats and

117
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:54,479
Speaker 4: you know, we'll back it up with some numbers.

118
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:57,479
Speaker 1: To that point, if it's not going.

119
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:02,719
Speaker 4: To Sakuon bark if the award does not go to

120
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 4: Sakuon Barkley, then why would it not go to one

121
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 4: or two other players? And this is no shade to

122
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 4: Josh Allen, but why would the most Valuable Player of

123
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 4: the league not go to one Lamar Jackson or one

124
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 4: Joe Burrow. That's right, Joe Burrow's name isn't even on

125
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 4: the final list list. Do you realize that Joe Burrow

126
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 4: through for more yards than Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson?

127
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 4: Do you realize that Joe Burrow threw for more touchdowns

128
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 4: than Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson. Most would say most

129
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 4: would debate the struggles of the Cincinnati Bengals was purely

130
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 4: based upon their inability to stop an offense from scoring points.

131
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 1: I don't think.

132
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 4: Anyone would come to the table and say it was

133
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 4: not because of some of the most brilliant, stellar play

134
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 4: at the quarterback position by one Joe Burrow. His quarterback

135
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 4: rating was oneh eight. And we'll get into all of

136
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 4: that because you know, this is real interesting because there's

137
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 4: a trickle down effect on these awards because well, and

138
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 4: what seemingly is going to develop into who's going to

139
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 4: get what awards. We saw that Josh Allen's name wasn't

140
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 4: included an Offensive Player of the Year. Hint hint, spoiler alert.

141
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 4: His name was not included. So you get the idea

142
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 4: that Josh Allen's going to win the MVP of the

143
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 4: League award, and then it's going to fall down on well, well,

144
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 4: we'll talk about in the next segment. Sakwon Barkley will

145
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 4: win the Offensive Player of the Year award, which is

146
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 4: a Constellation prize, a consolation prize to winning the MVP

147
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 4: award as the league's MVP. And then we'll get into

148
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 4: who I believe should win that award. But we'll get

149
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 4: up to the end. Like I said, Noon twelve twenty,

150
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,440
Speaker 4: for all of all on the East Coast, it's just

151
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 4: I wanted to give you guys a thought process here,

152
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 4: like something to think on if we're going with a

153
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 4: quarterback because obviously it's more important. It's not the meritocracy

154
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 4: of how you play the game at the league level.

155
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:31,719
Speaker 4: It's all about driving the value all the way up

156
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 4: as high as you can behind one singular position in

157
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:38,680
Speaker 4: the league, and that's the quarterbacks position. So at some

158
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 4: point there has to be an admission of this is

159
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 4: a quarterbacks award, not a league wide award. We don't

160
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 4: see defenders being in the mix of winning the award.

161
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:53,960
Speaker 4: Even though we have had, you know, a guy like

162
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 4: the likes of Lawrence Taylor win the award before, we

163
00:09:56,280 --> 00:10:00,040
Speaker 4: have not seen any defenders make any real appearances on

164
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,680
Speaker 4: the list, and you don't see any other player besides

165
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:08,559
Speaker 4: quarterbacks win the award, which is very interesting because then

166
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 4: you make the de facto award the offensive player of

167
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:14,080
Speaker 4: the year. It's like everybody else you could get this award,

168
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:17,839
Speaker 4: but the MVP of the league belongs with the quarterback.

169
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 4: I feel like it would make more sense to just

170
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,679
Speaker 4: tell your listening and viewing audience that that's what it is,

171
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 4: so we can stop having these debates, because it seems

172
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 4: silly to have to debate something that was accomplished by

173
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:36,680
Speaker 4: Sakwon Barkley in this particular moment, in this instance where

174
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 4: the greatness of what he brought to this season you

175
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 4: may not see for another what forty years, thirty years,

176
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 4: you may not see this brilliance happen again, And yet

177
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 4: it won't be rewarded properly in the way that it

178
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 4: should be rewarded, which is being deemed the most valuable

179
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 4: NFL player in the league. That's my take on it,

180
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 4: and well, you know, you can agree, you could disagree.

181
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 4: I got the microphone, so it doesn't matter. It's my take,

182
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 4: and we get to run with it. That is the

183
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 4: first segment down. It's in the books. We're gonna take

184
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 4: a quick break, and on the other side of the break,

185
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 4: we're gonna talk about, Yeah, Saquan is gonna win the

186
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 4: Offensive Player of the Year award, but the question is

187
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 4: should he who should win it, and why they should

188
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 4: win it? And I just tell you this spoiler alert,

189
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 4: it ain't Josh Allen either. So the MVP of the league,

190
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 4: perceivably that's gonna be crowned and named this year, shouldn't

191
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 4: even be the Offensive Player of the Year. And I'm

192
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 4: gonna tell you why. On the other side of this break,

193
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 4: it's up on Game. I'm LeVar Arrington, TJ and Plex

194
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 4: are out.

195
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 1: That's all right.

196
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 4: I'm gonna carry you for the next two hours. Stay

197
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 4: locked in, stay tuned in. We'll talk a little bit

198
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:53,559
Speaker 4: more football.

199
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 1: On the other side of this break.

200
00:11:54,720 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 4: All right, welcome back into the show. This is up

201
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 4: on Game. We are alive from the tyraq dot Com studio.

202
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:10,320
Speaker 4: LeVar Arrington. I will be carrying you by myself today

203
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 4: because the fellas are handling some family matters. So good

204
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 4: luck and enjoy all those those things that y'all got

205
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:21,439
Speaker 4: going on in the sporting world and the sporting community.

206
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 4: And speaking of sporting community, we're going to keep this

207
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:28,439
Speaker 4: trickle down effect going, the NFL awards trickle down effect.

208
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:31,840
Speaker 4: We'll get to the rest of the awards and just

209
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:34,959
Speaker 4: maybe ten minutes or so, we'll say we'll call in,

210
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 4: then we'll talk Coach of the Year to in out

211
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 4: the hour, and then we'll get into these NFL previews

212
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:44,559
Speaker 4: that I'm sure everybody's really excited to see and watch.

213
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 4: But let's talk about Saquon Barkley. All Right, we said

214
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 4: he should win. I say he should win the NFL

215
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 4: MVP Awards. So now how does that play a part

216
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 4: in the Offensive Player of the Year award. Obviously I

217
00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:00,239
Speaker 4: believe my pick. So so far my pick for NFL

218
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 4: MVP is going to be Josh Allen. Then the trickle

219
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 4: down effect because Saquon Barkley does not get what he

220
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 4: should get in getting the MVP of the League, he

221
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:14,440
Speaker 4: gets the Offensive Player of the Year award, which is

222
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 4: now very interesting because everything is now topsy turvy in

223
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:21,679
Speaker 4: terms of who really should get these awards because now

224
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:24,080
Speaker 4: you have the MVP of the Award of the Year

225
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:28,560
Speaker 4: getting the Offensive Player of the Year award, which now

226
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:33,200
Speaker 4: knocks out three other guys that should be getting this

227
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 4: award should be in debate, up for debate who gets

228
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:41,439
Speaker 4: this award in particular, and it does not include Josh Allen.

229
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 1: Where am I going with this?

230
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 4: Lamar Jackson, Joe Burrow, who I just mentioned in the

231
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 4: first first segment.

232
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 1: And Derrick Henry.

233
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:57,560
Speaker 4: Okay, so now you look at these three Sakuan's going

234
00:13:57,600 --> 00:13:59,719
Speaker 4: to take that. So three of those guys they will

235
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 4: not get at that award. So why do I say Henry,

236
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 4: Why do I say Jackson? Why do I say Burrow

237
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 4: and not Josh Allen? Well, think about this, both, Lamar

238
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 4: Jackson and Joe Burrow had better years than Josh Allen.

239
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 1: Josh Allen's passer rating.

240
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 4: One oh one point four, Joe Burrow's one oh eight

241
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 4: point five, Lamar Jackson's one nineteen point six. That's a

242
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 4: high passer rating. That's super impressive. Oh. Culminated with four thousand,

243
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 4: one hundred and seventy two yards and forty one touchdowns

244
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 4: to Josh Allen's three thousand, seven hundred and thirty one

245
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 4: yards and twenty eight touchdowns.

246
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 1: That's a very very real difference. Oh. By the way,

247
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow.

248
00:14:54,240 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 4: Four thousand, nine hundred and eighteen yards and forty three tds,

249
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 4: talk to me, because I'm trying to understand it. The

250
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 4: only reason why Lamar Jackson stands up to Joe Burrow

251
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 4: for the award would be because of Lamar Jackson's nine

252
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 4: hundred and fifteen rushing yards during the course of the season.

253
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 4: Nine hundred and fifteen rushing yards as a quarterback. Now,

254
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 4: where does Dereck Henry come into the scenario here? Because

255
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 4: I think Derrick Henry should be strongly considered for the award.

256
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 1: He ran for.

257
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 4: Nineteen one hundred and twenty one yards in the A

258
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 4: FC North.

259
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 1: If you don't know what that means, check it out.

260
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 4: Forty one touchdowns or excuse me, excuse me, not forty

261
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 4: one touchdowns because that's that's uh Lamar Jackson. But in

262
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 4: terms of touchdowns he had eighteen in seventeen games. So

263
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 4: when I look at the impact of Derrick Henry on

264
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 4: this Baltimore Ravens offense, one would say, your first read

265
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 4: has to be one run against the Baltimore Ravens. Which

266
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 4: now that is not the case across the league. This

267
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 4: is a pass first league. So the first thing you

268
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 4: have to do in this game against this team is

269
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:26,720
Speaker 4: you have to play the run. The second thing you

270
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 4: have to do is you have to pinpoint who is

271
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 4: the biggest threat upon reading the run. That's going to

272
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 4: be Derrik Henry. You may think it's Lamar Jackson, but

273
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 4: it ain't. It's Derrick Henry. And that moment of trying

274
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 4: to figure out is Derek Henry getting the ball on

275
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 4: that RPO play and Lamar Jackson pulls it out and

276
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 4: goes down the field and gets up to nine hundred

277
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 4: just shy of thousands, just north of one thousand yards rushing.

278
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 4: I would have to say this being Lamar Jackson's best

279
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 4: year statistically in total yards, going over five thousand yards

280
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 4: in total yards. This is a direct and I mean

281
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 4: a direct result of Derrick Henry's presence on this team.

282
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 4: Five eighty seven yards it was. Now, if you're telling

283
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:39,160
Speaker 4: me that they get that Lamar Jackson impacts his team

284
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 4: with that amount of yards without Derrick Henry on the roster,

285
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:48,360
Speaker 4: I'd say it's a foolish assertion. But when you look

286
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:50,440
Speaker 4: at the impact that Dereck Henry was able to have

287
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:54,919
Speaker 4: on this team and the success he was able to have,

288
00:17:56,359 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 4: that to me makes it a very very strong case

289
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 4: for him to be up for the Offensive Player of

290
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:08,239
Speaker 4: the Year award. There's no doubt about it. There's no

291
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:11,440
Speaker 4: doubt about it. So if it's not Lamar Jackson in

292
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 4: the phenomenal year that he had statistically, which we'll say

293
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:20,240
Speaker 4: is based upon the arrival and the participation of Derrick Henry,

294
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:24,080
Speaker 4: if it's not Lamar Jackson, then it has to be

295
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 4: Joe Burrow. You cannot hold Joe Burrow accountable fully for

296
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 4: a defense that gave up more touchdowns than you could

297
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:42,200
Speaker 4: shake a stick at. In him trying to win games,

298
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 4: his defense did not hold up the bargain for him.

299
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 4: So we're going to continue to trickle down effect, right

300
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:49,639
Speaker 4: because at the end of the day, we'll get to

301
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:52,639
Speaker 4: Joe Burrow. He is going to get an award. He

302
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 4: is going to get an award. I believe he'll get

303
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:56,399
Speaker 4: an award, and we'll talk about that because it's a

304
00:18:56,440 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 4: part of the rest of the awards. Yeah, but Saquon

305
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 4: Barkley will win the Offensive Player of the Year award,

306
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:09,359
Speaker 4: that is for certain. And why you wouldn't include Josh

307
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:12,639
Speaker 4: Allen and Jared Gov's name in the final list lists

308
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:20,480
Speaker 4: versus putting you know, Chase and putting you know obviously

309
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 4: Saquon and Derrick Henry. I just think that I don't know,

310
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 4: it's confusing if you ask me, it just comes across

311
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 4: as a tap bit confusing because ultimately the most valuable

312
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:38,679
Speaker 4: player on the offensive side of the ball, Well, I

313
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:39,880
Speaker 4: just highlighted.

314
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 1: It for you.

315
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 4: If you were looking at it from a stats standpoint,

316
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 4: then it should be Lamar Jackson or Joe Burrow. If

317
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 4: we're looking at it from a total stats standpoint in

318
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 4: terms of the assistance and the amount of success that

319
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:55,400
Speaker 4: this player had and what that did to impact another

320
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 4: player that played at such a high level and put

321
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 4: up such high numbers, and you got to look at

322
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:04,199
Speaker 4: Derek Henry as the clear favorite to be the most

323
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:07,879
Speaker 4: impactful if not Saquon Barkley. And the only reason why

324
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:10,719
Speaker 4: I would say not Saquon Barkley is because obviously I

325
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 4: felt like he should win the larger award, which now

326
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:17,919
Speaker 4: brings you back to the original point of aren't you

327
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 4: trying to figure out how josh Allen is going to

328
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 4: be the National Football Player of the Year, the MVP?

329
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 4: I know I am? I know I am, because there's

330
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:35,239
Speaker 4: nothing that says outside of a totally subjective approach, a

331
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 4: total emotional approach, to why Josh Allen should win. There

332
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:45,560
Speaker 4: really is nothing that is in favor of him outside

333
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:50,359
Speaker 4: of what would be considered to be an emotional investment

334
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:53,959
Speaker 4: as to why this young man should win the award.

335
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:55,960
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think I do.

336
00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:58,200
Speaker 4: I think that's a pretty good take on it, because well,

337
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:01,000
Speaker 4: I feel like the facts kind of stay out on

338
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:01,440
Speaker 4: their own.

339
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 1: He's the third.

340
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:08,359
Speaker 4: Best statistically by quarterback rating this year, third best to

341
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 4: Joe Burrow and Lamar Jackson terms in those categories we're

342
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:17,120
Speaker 4: speaking of, So I don't know, so are we considering

343
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:21,199
Speaker 4: Josh a better leader than Joe Burrow or Lamar Jackson.

344
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:23,719
Speaker 4: Are we looking at the record and saying that the

345
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:28,399
Speaker 4: record because that doesn't distinguish it either. What are we

346
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:32,119
Speaker 4: looking at that sets Josh Allen apart to be the

347
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:33,919
Speaker 4: MVP of the league? And I think that that's the

348
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:36,400
Speaker 4: question that well, you'll have to answer on your own.

349
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:40,159
Speaker 4: But he nonetheless is my pick for the MVP of

350
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:44,359
Speaker 4: the league, and Sakwon Barkley will be your Offensive Player

351
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:46,639
Speaker 4: of the Year. We'll get to the rest of the awards,

352
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 4: Comeback Player, Defensive Player, Offensive Rookie, Defensive Rookie. We'll get

353
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:53,879
Speaker 4: to those on the other side of this break. But

354
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 4: let's get a trending from our guy, Isaac Lohingcrow. How

355
00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:58,679
Speaker 4: you doing, sir? Do I sound crazy?

356
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 1: I low? Or do I mean like I'm making some

357
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 1: vallid points here?

358
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:05,720
Speaker 5: You sound crazy most of the time, but actually not.

359
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 1: Like that, Oh dann, so try harder.

360
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 5: So how do you like flying solo?

361
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:12,359
Speaker 1: That's cool, it's cool.

362
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:14,640
Speaker 4: It gives me an opportunity to kind of say what's

363
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:16,560
Speaker 4: on my mind a little bit and get a little

364
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:19,160
Speaker 4: bit more deeper in the weeds. You know, get off

365
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 4: of the surface a little bit.

366
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:22,159
Speaker 5: You know you're doing great. I'm joining it.

367
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:23,520

Speaker 1: Damn yeah, how about it? How about it?

371
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:32,480

Speaker 5: I mean, they know you'd never text me.

375
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:41,240

00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 5: That's a good point.

379
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 6: I mean, we're like Facebook, we're Facebook friends, right because

380
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:51,639
Speaker 6: I see you posting every five minutes about your Penn Staker.

381
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,320

Speaker 5: Well well, with good reason, with good reason.

383
00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 6: Hey, we had a great story in the Australian Open

384
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:03,879
Speaker 6: Ladies earlier today, American Madison Keys winning her first career

385

Speaker 6: grand slamming upset fashion over world number one Arena Sablenka.

386
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:13,199
Speaker 6: Here is how match points sounded on Australian Open Radio.

387
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 4: Sabelenka is ready, says case.

388
00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:18,160
Speaker 7: Coach with the big backhand picks up on the hot

389
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:21,400
Speaker 7: folly by Sabelenka, huge hole hand from Keys well defended.

390
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:30,840
Speaker 1: She's done it.

391
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:32,480
Speaker 7: The Lone Races Ova to Madison Kys. She is the

392
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 7: Australian Open.

393
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:35,800
Speaker 5: Champion in the NFL.

394
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:39,479
Speaker 6: On Friday night, the Dallas Cowboys hired offensive coordinator Brian

395
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 6: Schottenheimer as their new head.

396
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:42,639
Speaker 5: Coach, put me in coach.

397
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:47,879
Speaker 6: NFL media report Schottenheimer is receiving a four year contract.

398
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 6: I've been thinking about it alta shower.

399
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:52,680
Speaker 5: I'll just take your word for it there, Jerry.

400
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:54,520
Speaker 6: I don't have the patience to jack with you today.

401
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:55,800
Speaker 5: Get out of here.

402
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:57,800
Speaker 4: Am I still on line?

403
00:23:57,840 --> 00:23:58,199
Speaker 5: Anyway?

404
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 6: The San Francisco forty nine ers mean on Friday and night,

405
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:03,719
Speaker 6: had hired former Jets head coach Robert Sala for his

406
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:08,160
Speaker 6: second stint as their defensive coordinator. So only one head

407
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:11,239
Speaker 6: coaching opening remains in the NFL, that being the New

408
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 6: Orleans Saints. LeVar back to you.

409
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:15,840
Speaker 1: Appreciate it a loo? All right?

410
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 4: That's an interesting update. There's some nice little sound effects

411
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:19,400
Speaker 4: you had there.

412
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:20,360
Speaker 1: Uh.

413
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 4: Rest of the awards all right? So here comes the

414
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 4: continued on trickle down effect. Who do we believe should

415
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 4: get the Comeback Player of the Year award?

416
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:32,760
Speaker 1: Do you wanna? Do you want to take a stab

417
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:33,439
Speaker 1: at it? Perfect?

418
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:35,919
Speaker 4: Do you want take a stab at it, bo do

419
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 4: you do? You guys want to take a stab at

420
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:40,159
Speaker 4: who should get the Comeback Player of the Year.

421
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:46,480
Speaker 1: Somebody? Yeah, Sam Darnell.

422
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:49,520
Speaker 8: I think I think that's pretty much the answer at

423
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 8: this point. Like the Sam Darnald considering how written off

424
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:56,760
Speaker 8: his career had been, and I look, we we understand

425
00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 8: Week eighteen and in the playoffs after that was bad,

426
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:01,840
Speaker 8: But I don't think that erasist seventeen good games of

427
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 8: performance from him.

428
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, especially since the voting is not supposed to count

429
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 6: for the postseason, regular season just supposed to be taking

430
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:10,120
Speaker 6: a consideration. I'm biased, but I would like to throw

431
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:11,719
Speaker 6: in a vote, even though I don't think he's nest

432
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:13,399
Speaker 6: throw in JK.

433
00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 7: Dobbins.

434
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:16,920
Speaker 1: Hmm, that's an interesting one.

435
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:20,080
Speaker 4: You know who I think is going to receive this

436
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 4: award as a as a just kind of adore prize,

437
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:27,879
Speaker 4: because you know what, why would we not give you

438
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:33,479
Speaker 4: any awards when you had an amazing, an amazing, amazing season.

439
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:34,879
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow.

440
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 4: Think about it, Joe Burrow should be considered the comeback

441
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:43,720
Speaker 4: Player of the Year and should receive the ward. And

442
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 4: if he does get it, if I am right, it's

443
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 4: the losers. It's the losers a bonus award for the year.

444
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:54,040
Speaker 4: So now you've taken Comeback Player of the Year and

445
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:56,679
Speaker 4: you made it, you made it like a joke. Because

446
00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 4: Joe Burrow should be in the mix for these other awards.

447
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:00,919
Speaker 1: He's not going to get it.

448
00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:03,000
Speaker 4: So if you're going to give him the Comeback Player

449
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:04,480
Speaker 4: of the War because he did come back and he

450
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:07,680
Speaker 4: did ball his ass off this year, then now you've

451
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:10,840
Speaker 4: bumped one Sam Darnold back, which I guess you could

452
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:13,120
Speaker 4: call him a comeback. He's considered it, he's on the list,

453
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 4: he's considered to be a comeback player. I mean, I

454
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 4: guess he's coming back from being a bench warmer. I'm

455
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 4: not really sure what he's coming back from. Do you

456
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:22,880
Speaker 4: guys know what exactly what he's coming back from, because

457
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:26,320
Speaker 4: I don't really know what he's coming back from. Yeah,

458
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:29,200
Speaker 4: I don't know either. And so with that being said,

459
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:32,399
Speaker 4: I almost feel like you gotta go with Joe Burrow

460
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 4: as your comeback Player of the Year. He came back,

461
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 4: he played well, and his numbers don't lie. So I

462
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:44,480
Speaker 4: tend to look at where Joe Burrow is and what

463
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 4: he's been able to accomplish and I feel like he

464
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:49,479
Speaker 4: should be the hands down favored to get it.

465
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:50,200
Speaker 1: Now.

466
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:52,480
Speaker 4: I don't even think he's on there. I don't even

467
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:57,240
Speaker 4: think he's up for consideration. But that's my that's my opinion.

468
00:26:57,720 --> 00:26:58,119
Speaker 4: I don't know.

469
00:26:58,240 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 1: Is he on there? Is he on the list?

470
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,479
Speaker 9: Joe Burrow on the Lissa, Yes he is, Actually it is.

471
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 9: It's Burrow Donald Dobbins.

472
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:11,080
Speaker 1: Which there you go.

473
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:13,200
Speaker 7: The Hamlin's a very interesting one.

474
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:15,239
Speaker 8: I feel like they're just going to keep putting his

475
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:17,120
Speaker 8: name in there until he eventually wins one.

476
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 4: But hmm, interesting I find out to be interesting. I mean,

477
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:27,960
Speaker 4: there's certainly to me, there's no Sam Darnald is the

478
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:30,760
Speaker 4: only one on the list that I would say stands

479
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 4: up to Joe Burrow. And if Joe Burrow is up

480
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:40,560
Speaker 4: for a different award and is able to possibly some

481
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:43,760
Speaker 4: way win it, then it should go to Sam Darnald.

482
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:45,880
Speaker 4: But if Joe Burrow doesn't get any of the other

483
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 4: awards above that one, I think that it goes to

484
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:51,040
Speaker 4: Joe Burrow. That's what I think.

485
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:54,160
Speaker 1: It's the Loser's Award this year is the Comeback Player.

486
00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:57,639
Speaker 8: I believe they had changed some of the wording on

487
00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:00,199
Speaker 8: comeback Player of the Year too. It just had to

488
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:04,840
Speaker 8: be returning to sport after injury, illness or other circumstances.

489
00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:06,680
Speaker 7: So I think in that case, Burrow is the one

490
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:07,480
Speaker 7: who kind of.

491
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:10,920
Speaker 8: Fits that mold the best, definitely more than Sam Donald,

492
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:13,639
Speaker 8: because I guess by that definition, nothing really there is

493
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 8: Sam Darnald overcoming.

494
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 7: He's just overcoming, you know, being a backup. Stuck. Yeah,

495
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:21,640
Speaker 7: stuck in in in a QB purgatory for so long.

496
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, a backup is what it is.

497
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:29,720
Speaker 7: Okay, he was haunted, Yeah, he's haunted.

498
00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:30,199
Speaker 1: He was.

499
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:33,200
Speaker 4: He was saying, No, that's why Autumn Picks was taking place.

500
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 4: Casper was taking it. It was swiping him. All right,

501
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:38,000
Speaker 4: Let's move on to defensive player of the year. All right,

502
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:42,120
Speaker 4: Defensive player of the year. It's obviously between Watt and

503
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:45,840
Speaker 4: Certain the second. Here's why I say it's hard to

504
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:49,840
Speaker 4: go with Pat certain the second, even though his his

505
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:53,200
Speaker 4: season has been brilliant, all right, because it's just hard

506
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 4: it's hard to to monetize or or not monetize, but

507
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:02,600
Speaker 4: kind of quantify how big of an impact he had.

508
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:05,719
Speaker 4: I know that the numbers say, you know, the fifty

509
00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 4: percent lower than sixty percent when quarterbacks go his way,

510
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:14,200
Speaker 4: and you know he takes away your best receiver.

511
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 1: It's hard.

512
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:19,520
Speaker 4: It's hard to look at it when it doesn't show

513
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:21,800
Speaker 4: up all the way in the stats.

514
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:23,440
Speaker 1: If you guys know what I mean, Like.

515
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 4: Four interceptions doesn't scream you had the type.

516
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:28,760
Speaker 1: Of year that.

517
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:32,680
Speaker 4: Would call for you to be the defensive rookie of

518
00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:35,800
Speaker 4: the year. There have been plenty of dbs, you know,

519
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:39,280
Speaker 4: Champ Bailey comes to mind, there have been a Darrel

520
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 4: Reeves comes to mind. There have been guys that have

521
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:45,960
Speaker 4: locked down and shut down sides of a field to

522
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:50,600
Speaker 4: help their team. It's just hard to put where the

523
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:51,840
Speaker 4: value of it is.

524
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:53,360
Speaker 1: How high do you take it up?

525
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:56,480
Speaker 4: Whereas when I look at what JJ Watt has done,

526
00:29:56,760 --> 00:30:02,040
Speaker 4: fourteen tackles for a loss is cool razy. That's a

527
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:07,080
Speaker 4: crazy statistic because in reality, you can count a tackle

528
00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:10,240
Speaker 4: for a loss. It's no different than a sack. You've

529
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 4: put stress and the rest on the offense by stopping

530
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:17,080
Speaker 4: them behind their own line of scrimmage. Not to mention

531
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:19,719
Speaker 4: what you got to be doing as a player, especially

532
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 4: a highlighted player like TJ Watt and being able to

533
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:26,760
Speaker 4: get to the ball carrier in the backfield.

534
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 1: It's kind of crazy. And his sack totals.

535
00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:33,200
Speaker 4: Sack totals are super high.

536
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:34,880
Speaker 1: I mean, he's double digits. Guy.

537
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:39,320
Speaker 4: I just don't I just don't know how you can

538
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:42,480
Speaker 4: take and say, well, he locked down there one receiver.

539
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:46,000
Speaker 4: They didn't throw the ball his way much, but when

540
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:48,520
Speaker 4: they did, they didn't do very well when they threw

541
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 4: it his way. Oh, but he only had four interceptions.

542
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:55,600
Speaker 4: I think his interception totals needed to be higher if

543
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:59,080
Speaker 4: it was going to be a legitimate He's getting it

544
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:00,800
Speaker 4: over what TJ.

545
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:01,680
Speaker 1: Watt has done.

546
00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:04,000
Speaker 4: So if I'm picking for Defense Player of the Year,

547
00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:06,480
Speaker 4: I look at TJ. Watt and I say he's got

548
00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:08,640
Speaker 4: to be the one that wins it. Unless you were

549
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:12,360
Speaker 4: looking at pat Certain and the turnaround of this Denver

550
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:15,920
Speaker 4: Broncos team, and you're saying the sole catalyst of why

551
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:18,600
Speaker 4: this team turned around the way that it did and

552
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:20,760
Speaker 4: was able to accomplish at the level that it did

553
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 4: was based upon Patricks Certain's influence on the whole team,

554
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:27,760
Speaker 4: which I mean that would be up for debate. Obviously,

555
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:31,760
Speaker 4: Rookie of the Year for offense, no debate there. Jaydon

556
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 4: Daniels is the guy that's going to get it. He's

557
00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:38,920
Speaker 4: the most deserving of it, and he's he turned out

558
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 4: to be what appears to be the generational talent that's

559
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:46,600
Speaker 4: come out in the last few drafts at the quarterbacks position.

560
00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:49,080
Speaker 1: It looks as though he's just different.

561
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:52,280
Speaker 4: And for that, I mean, I think it's a foregone

562
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:55,080
Speaker 4: conclusion that you look at Jayden and Daniels.

563
00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 1: As you're a rookie of the year. Can somebody else

564
00:31:57,080 --> 00:31:57,560
Speaker 1: argue it?

565
00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:00,520
Speaker 9: I mean, Jayden Daniel's gonna win plenty of deserving. That's

566
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:03,600
Speaker 9: I think. When a rookie comes in and is immediately

567
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 9: the best player at their position, okay, their name should

568
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:09,240
Speaker 9: be mentioned more. Okay, I think it's Brock Bowers, to

569
00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 9: be honest with.

570
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 4: You, Brock Bowers is a great name, not qu a quarterback.

571
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:20,920
Speaker 9: Tighten in football already is a rookie. I think if

572
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:23,920
Speaker 9: Jaydon Daniels didn't win twelve games this year, you'd see

573
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:25,840
Speaker 9: a lot more steam for Brock Powers. But I think

574
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 9: he deserves a little more shine than he's gonna get

575
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:30,560
Speaker 9: given given the Daniels is gonna run away with this reward.

576
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:33,920
Speaker 4: I mean, I don't have any any problem with Brock

577
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:36,560
Speaker 4: Bowers being a name that's thrown out there and debate it,

578
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:42,920
Speaker 4: but nonetheless, it's Jaydon Daniels. It's Jaydon Daniels by a landslide,

579
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:46,160
Speaker 4: not even close now, but one that isn't a landslide

580
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:47,400
Speaker 4: and will be close.

581
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:50,000
Speaker 1: Who wins Defensive Rookie of the Year? Is it Fisk

582
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 1: or is it Verse? I don't know.

583
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:55,800
Speaker 4: Fisk had more sacks, Verse had more tackles. Who had

584
00:32:55,840 --> 00:33:00,920
Speaker 4: more impact? It's hard to say. It's hard to say,

585
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:03,360
Speaker 4: but wow, you had both of them on the same team,

586
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:07,000
Speaker 4: which is pretty cool. I think if I gotta go

587
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:09,800
Speaker 4: with it and make a hard decision on what I

588
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:14,040
Speaker 4: really really feel based off of impact, it's gotta be Fisk.

589
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:17,320
Speaker 4: It's gotta be Fisk that gets it because to do

590
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 4: what he is able to do, be as versatile as

591
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:23,920
Speaker 4: he is, the impact that he's brought to that defensive

592
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:27,719
Speaker 4: line I think is probably unmatched even by Verse along

593
00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:31,719
Speaker 4: the entire throughout the entire league. So I'm gonna go

594
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:35,560
Speaker 4: with Fisk as as the guy that's going to win

595
00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:41,000
Speaker 4: the Rookie Defensive Player of the Year. Brandon Fisk. We're

598
00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:48,520
Speaker 4: strong case to be made for Campbell. But should it

599
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:51,880
Speaker 4: be someone else, we'll talk about that. We'll come right back.

Speaker 4: the Minnesota Vikings have had an amazing year.

625
00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:14,120
Speaker 1: Against all odds, right.

626
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:18,160
Speaker 4: They were able to have one of the more impressive

627
00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:24,279
Speaker 4: seasons in Minnesota history with Sam Darnold. Now, we don't

628
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:27,160
Speaker 4: know if it was going to be JJ McCarthy. I

629
00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:30,200
Speaker 4: think we all know that we don't think that it

630
00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:33,799
Speaker 4: would have lasted being Sam Donald if he had been

631
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:34,640
Speaker 4: the one.

632
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:35,920
Speaker 1: To start off the season.

633
00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:38,920
Speaker 4: But that is, you know, just kind of an opinion

634
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:41,440
Speaker 4: that's not based off of fact. What is fact is

635
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:46,080
Speaker 4: that Sam Donald had an amazing year as a journeyman

636
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:51,560
Speaker 4: QB and throwing for over four thousand yards and thirty

637
00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:54,440
Speaker 4: five tds and a passer rating over one hundred and

638
00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:58,719
Speaker 4: that one oh six point four. This was one of

639
00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:03,720
Speaker 4: the most impressed coaching jobs in the National Football League.

640
00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:06,360
Speaker 1: And I think that's without a doubt.

641
00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:13,120
Speaker 4: Now, with that being said, Dan Campbell and I don't

642
00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:21,440
Speaker 4: think it's even arguable Dan Campbell most likely possibly, I

643
00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:25,799
Speaker 4: don't know that it does happen, but with what he's

644
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:30,800
Speaker 4: had to overcome to achieve what he's achieved this season,

645
00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:38,040
Speaker 4: especially knowing that you don't include the playoffs. I'm just

646
00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:42,279
Speaker 4: saying if i'm if I'm a voter. While I was

647
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:47,719
Speaker 4: very impressed. While I was very impressed with what Minnesota

648
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:54,000
Speaker 4: was able to do, one Dan Campbell overcame more so

649
00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:57,319
Speaker 4: who had more? Do you have to off the top

650
00:36:57,360 --> 00:36:58,960
Speaker 4: of your head, because I know you're a big, a

651
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:01,880
Speaker 4: big Lions fan and that's your team and everything, perfet

652
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:06,000
Speaker 4: What do you know the list of, offhand, how many

653
00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:07,920
Speaker 4: guys he had go go out for the season.

654
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:12,240
Speaker 7: It's more than I can count on my hand.

655
00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:15,840
Speaker 8: Wow, I hands plural, I should say, And I know

656
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:20,960
Speaker 8: definitely among defensive starters you had lost like Aiden Hutchinson.

657
00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:23,319
Speaker 4: Otis heel that was the defensive player of the year

658
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:24,000
Speaker 4: right there.

659
00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:26,960
Speaker 7: And multiple multiple weeks after he had gone out.

660
00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:29,439
Speaker 8: How he was still a leader in sacks first first

661
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:32,120
Speaker 8: for the NFL, but then for the Lions team. You

662
00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:36,040
Speaker 8: know they they had massive turnover at the linebacker unit

663
00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:39,200
Speaker 8: as well, Like that front seven was massively decimated through

664
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:41,560
Speaker 8: the year. Carlton Davis leaves for the year with a

665
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:46,000
Speaker 8: broken jaw. Like I get the arguments for Kevin O'Connell,

666
00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:48,480
Speaker 8: but I think you look around there and see what

667
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:51,000
Speaker 8: Dan Campbell did with that team and also Coach of

668
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:53,360
Speaker 8: the Year. Is also about meeting expect I know sometimes

669
00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:56,640
Speaker 8: we don't give enough credit to coaches for meeting expectations,

670
00:37:56,680 --> 00:38:01,240
Speaker 8: but Dan Campbell's Lions did also with all of this happening,

671
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:04,880
Speaker 8: win fifteen games, win the NFC North, and a first

672
00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:08,600
Speaker 8: round by on top of everything, it seems crazy. I

673
00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:10,600
Speaker 8: feel like I want to give some love to Dan

674
00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:12,719
Speaker 8: Quinn for how he's turned around the commander's job.

675
00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:14,880
Speaker 4: I love that. I love that one. Yeah, that's it.

676
00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:16,120
Speaker 4: That's a name to throw in there.

677
00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:18,440
Speaker 8: I know O'Connell is like probably the top pick, but

678
00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:20,439
Speaker 8: I'd either take Campbell or Quinn one of the two.

679
00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:21,759
Speaker 7: Dans in my mind.

680
00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:24,319
Speaker 4: Had him on my list, had had him on my

681
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:28,279
Speaker 4: list of coaches. Obviously, what he's done in Washington has

682
00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:31,520
Speaker 4: been amazing. But if I'm making the pick, I think

683
00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:34,360
Speaker 4: it's gonna be Dan Campbell that gets it. But we

684
00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:37,359
Speaker 4: may see O'Connell get it. Anyways, it's our one. It's

685
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:40,200
Speaker 4: Fox Sports Radio that's up on Game Hour two, coming

686
