1
00:00:01,360 --> 00:00:02,360
Speaker 1: The volume.

2
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:14,760
Speaker 2: Altable championship. That should always be the expectation. All right, man,

3
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 2: ex you go ahead.

4
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:20,160
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Richard Sherman Podcast, presented by our

5
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:23,680
Speaker 1: friends and partners over at Brightling. They got me that

6
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawk Brightling, Mitchell, nice and Shiny.

7
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 3: Couldn't wait till I know you're excited, Richard. I you're

8
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 3: gonna be rocking at this Thursday. I mean, come on

9
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:37,159
Speaker 3: Thursday night football, Seattle Seahawks, Seattle Brightling must be in attendance.

10
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:39,479
Speaker 1: It has to be. And I'm gonna wear a Seattle

11
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:42,559
Speaker 1: Seahawks colored suit. I don't have a green turtleneck. That's

12
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:44,279
Speaker 1: the only thing that's holding me back. But I might

13
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:46,559
Speaker 1: be able to find a shirt. I'm working on it.

14
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 1: I'm working on it, Mitchell. But let's get to let's

15
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:52,880
Speaker 1: get to the headlines from this week. Tomko Ryan says

16
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson is definitely the MVP.

17
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 3: Sounds somewhat similar alert to what you were saying last night, Richard.

18
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 3: Your thoughts here. Vegas still has Josh Allen as minus

19
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 3: five point fifty, Lamar Jackson's a plus four hundred odds,

20
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:13,319
Speaker 3: Saquan at plus twelve hundred and my boy Jared Goff

21
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 3: at twenty to one. But you still like Lamar Jackson

22
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 3: and so does Jamika Ryans. What do you think of

23
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 3: this take? Same thing I said yesterday. I think it's

24
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 3: the accurate take. And people are saying I hate Josh Allen.

25
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 3: Nothing's further from the truth. I love Josh Allen. I

26
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:34,959
Speaker 3: think he plays the game the right way. He elevates

27
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 3: his team.

28
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 1: He plays hard, they win ball games like He's always

29
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 1: competitive each and every year. He talks a little bit

30
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:45,319
Speaker 1: of smack, he plays behind his shoulder pads. I'm a

31
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 1: Josh Allen fan, but the numbers are the number. If

32
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson has forty six, forty seven touchdowns total in

33
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:55,559
Speaker 1: four interceptions and you tell me that's not an MVP season,

34
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 1: just tow to a ward away at that point, Mitchell,

35
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 1: because it doesn't make sense because on the flip side,

36
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 1: and you got to talk to Buffalo fans about that,

37
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 1: if Josh Allen had forty seven total touchdowns in four

38
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 1: interceptions and didn't walk away with the MVP, they would

39
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 1: be rioting at the league office in New York, and rightfully,

40
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 1: so that's what I don't get. I don't even understand odds,

41
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 1: but it is what it is. They'll probably give it

42
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 1: to them, just like they gave it to Lamar last

43
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 1: year when I thought he shouldn't get it. But Demiko's

44
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 1: on the same page as meet. The tape looks like

45
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 1: the tape looks and the numbers look like the numbers look.

46
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 2: Old, Richard.

47
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 3: I'm still holding off for my boy Jared Goff twenty

48
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 3: to one odds. We'll see if he can get hot

49
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 3: down the stretch some crucial games for them. It's getting

50
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 3: to that point of the season, Richard, where teams at

51
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 3: the bottom of the league are really jockeying for position

52
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:47,799
Speaker 3: in the NFL draft. And you know, fortunately or unfortunately,

53
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,800
Speaker 3: when a team wins that fan bases want to lose,

54
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 3: fans kind of voice their opinions. And we saw it

55
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,799
Speaker 3: in Las Vegas this weekend. The Las Vegas Raiders beat

56
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 3: the Jacksonville Jaggs and their win total to three on

57
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 3: the season, and doing so, they go from number two

58
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 3: in the draft to number six. Now the fan base

59
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 3: was booing at the end of the game. Antonio Pierce

60
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 3: didn't like this, and he said, we don't do this

61
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 3: to lose. We don't do this for anybody's fantasy football team.

62
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,919
Speaker 3: We don't do this for anyone's draft projections. None of

63
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 3: the shit matters to us. The only thing that matters

64
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:26,080
Speaker 3: is winning, and that's all we want to do. Richard

65
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 3: bring us into the mind of an athlete, the mind

66
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 3: of a competitor, because just us common fans often look

67
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 3: too far ahead at what could be, what could be

68
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 3: in the future. If you're on a team that's struggling,

69
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 3: four or five wins and you know you're down and out,

70
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 3: you talked about playing for pride. How much pride can

71
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 3: you possibly play for? Are you really getting up for

72
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 3: these games?

73
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 2: Yeah? And that's how he has to coach Mitchell.

74
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 1: He can't coach like he's like he's a you know,

75
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 1: fifteen year veteran coach. He's had a lot of jobs.

76
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 1: This is his first year coaching. First job. He has

77
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 1: to coach to win every game. And I don't remember

78
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 1: who it wasn't Lovey Smith with Houston, like who was

79
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 1: the interim coach? And they wanted to lose every The

80
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 1: fans wanted him to lose, and I think the older

81
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 1: might have wanted him to lose. And they won, and

82
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 1: he got pissed off that they win the last game

83
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 1: of the season and they ended up with CJ.

84
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 2: Stroud instead of Bryce Young.

85
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:24,599
Speaker 1: And sometimes sometimes that's how stuff is supposed to happen,

86
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,159
Speaker 1: and then everybody forgets about it. You know, they're so

87
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 1: mad in the moment, they're so frustrated in the moment

88
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: they were Houston fans were you know, oh my god,

89
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:39,600
Speaker 1: you're sabotaging us going out like when in reality that

90
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 1: was a parting gift. You got c J. Stroud instead

91
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 1: of Bryce Young. And look what the fates behold now?

92
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:51,480
Speaker 1: Is Bryce Young gonna develop into something he could?

93
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 2: CJ. Stroud is exactly what Houston needed and wanted. They

94
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 2: got it.

95
00:04:56,200 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 1: They got their franchise quarterback, the future the franchised because

96
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 1: Lovey Smith's team played hard and guess what, the football

97
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 1: gods rewarded this team for doing things the right way.

98
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,280
Speaker 1: You can't do it any other way or it's not

99
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,600
Speaker 1: gonna work out. How you can't tank in the National

100
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 1: Football League, I guess you can't. But there aren't many players,

101
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:17,359
Speaker 1: not veteran players, that are gonna go out there and

102
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 1: be like, yeah, I'm gonna go out there and try

103
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 1: to lose if you're built like that, you can't turn

104
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 1: that back off.

105
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 2: Like that's a loser mentality.

106
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 1: And I talk to my son about stuff like this

107
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 1: all the time because I'm like, hey, like you can't

108
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 1: turn on and turn off like habits. Like, hey, if

109
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 1: you how you do anything, it is how you do everything.

110
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 1: So if you work hard all the time, you're gonna

111
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 1: work hard. If you said, say, I'm just gonna stop

112
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 1: working hard and then I'll start working hard later, like, Hey,

113
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 1: we're not gonna win these games, We're just gonna try

114
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:49,920
Speaker 1: to lose these games. But then when next season starts,

115
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 1: we're gonna start to trying to win again. Like you can't.

116
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 1: It's a mentality, it's a work ethic, it's a it's

117
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 1: a state of mind. Remember when you're Detroit Lions Metchell

118
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 1: when they first started to build this culture, wouldn't they

119
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 1: start doing at the end of that season a season

120
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 1: that didn't really matter, they weren't winning.

121
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 2: Games, Richard.

122
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 3: The season that mattered most for this organization was when

123
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 3: they went on the road two years ago and knocked

124
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:14,720
Speaker 3: off Aaron Rodgers.

125
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 2: They kicked him out of this division. They had nothing

126
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 2: to play for.

127
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 3: The la Rams had gone in with Baker Mayfield and

128
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 3: tried to bend your Seattle Seahawks, and Seattle ultimately pulled

129
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:28,040
Speaker 3: that game off in overtime. Detroit was on the Sunday

130
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 3: night game with nothing to play for, but that game

131
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 3: meant more to this fan base than anything because it

132
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 3: kicks started what is now this massive momentum shift. For

133
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 3: the first time in my life being a Detroit Lions fan,

134
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 3: I wasn't looking on websites seeing our draft position after

135
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 3: Week eight because these games finally mattered for once. I

136
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 3: can sympathize with the Las Vegas Raiders fan base. They're

137
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,839
Speaker 3: thinking of dream scenario. They're thinking that Dion Sanders and

138
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 3: Shador standards in Vegas. I mean, that's what a lot

139
00:06:58,000 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 3: of these folks were definitely thinking of.

140
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 1: Look, if you're thinking that way and you want them

141
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 1: in Vegas, then Mark Davis will find a way to

142
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 1: do it. I don't think Mark Davis is gonna get

143
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 1: rid of Antonio Pierce right now, but if he does,

144
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 1: I'm sure Diann will be high on the list.

145
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 2: Dion says he's staying at Colorado. Do I believe that.

146
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 1: I think he can be persuaded to do other things,

147
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 1: But I think right now he's creating and he's building

148
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 1: a team to play for in Colorado next year. He

149
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 1: just got his quarterback, got his young quarterback. He's continuing

150
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 1: to build that culture. He's continuing to speak that way,

151
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 1: recruit that way, get transfers in the portal that way.

152
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 1: So everything points to him staring at Colorado. So if

153
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 1: that's the case, he does want his sons in Las Vegas.

154
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 1: And I understand the frustration of fans, and you want

155
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 1: it both ways. You want your team to compete every week,

156
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 1: but you also want him to lose when they's supposed

157
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 1: to lose. It's not always gonna work out that way

158
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 1: at the end of the day. Just count the record

159
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 1: when the season ends, and look where you're drafting and

160
00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 1: make the best of it, and your team will make

161
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 1: the best of it. Are there Jacksonville Jaguars going to

162
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 1: take a quarterback?

163
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 2: I don't know. Maybe.

164
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 1: Are the New England Patriots going to take another quarterback?

165
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe I doubt it. The Giants are

166
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 1: Are they going to take cam Ward or are they

167
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 1: gonna take your door? Well, there'll be a quarterback left.

168
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 1: Like let the stuff play out like it's supposed to,

169
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 1: because when you do things the wrong way in football,

170
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 1: it always comes to bite you in the end. You

171
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 1: sit there and be like, oh, let's tank, let's tank,

172
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 1: and you'll get the quarterback you're not supposed to get

173
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 1: and think he's supposed to be something, and you'll end

174
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 1: up with another bust and it'll be like you'll think

175
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 1: back and take it all the way back to when

176
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:38,959
Speaker 1: you lost on purpose, and that's where it all began.

177
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 1: So I agree with Antonio. Play to win, Richard. It's

178
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 1: kind of an extend this topic a little bit further.

179
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 1: We saw DJ Moore.

180
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 3: He was interviewed in the locker room pregame or prior

181
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,080
Speaker 3: in practice leading up to the game against the Lions,

182
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 3: and one of the reporters asked some something along the

183
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,199
Speaker 3: lines of what are you looking forward to, and he said, vacation.

184
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 2: You've played in this league a number of years. Have

185
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 2: have you ever been privy?

186
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 3: I mean, I guess you were on so many competitive teams,

187
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 3: so you never were in total mailout seasons or games,

188
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 3: But like, have you heard stories of other players just

189
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 3: cashing it in late?

190
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 2: Yes?

191
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 3: I have.

192
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 1: My first year, my very first year in the National

193
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 1: Football League, I started the last teen games of the season,

194
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 1: so this was probably like my six or seventh start.

195
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:28,200
Speaker 1: We were still kind of in the playoff race. You know,

196
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 1: we need some things to go our way. We need

197
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 1: to win some games. We didn't end up winning, but

198
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:37,720
Speaker 1: there there was like a little bit of an argument

199
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 1: and some confrontation from you know, our young players, our

200
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,439
Speaker 1: young naive players who just want to win.

201
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 2: We like, hey, we're balls to the wall, we're hair

202
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:46,560
Speaker 2: on fire.

203
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 1: We just want to win every game, play the best

204
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 1: defense we can and get to these playoffs and trying

205
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:52,079
Speaker 1: to win a super Bowl. Like that's all we think about.

206
00:09:52,400 --> 00:10:00,680
Speaker 1: Earl cam myself, Brandon Browner at the time know we got,

207
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 1: we got good d line, we got and I'm not

208
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 1: gonna put any names out there because I don't need

209
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 1: to put anybody in a bad light. But the guy

210
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:11,319
Speaker 1: came up to us and we're like, we're like, yeah, man,

211
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:12,679
Speaker 1: we just got to do this to make the playoffs,

212
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 1: and he's like playoffs, Like why would I want to

213
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 1: make the playoffs? I take a plate pay cut in

214
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 1: the playoffs. I take a play cut, a pay cut

215
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:25,080
Speaker 1: to play more games and harder games and games that

216
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 1: matter more. And I make less money. I don't want

217
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 1: to play in no playoffs, And mind was just like

218
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 1: I couldn't believe when I was here, Like I'm in

219
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 1: the National Football League, just my rookie year, and I'm

220
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 1: playing my butt off, and the guy says, I don't

221
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 1: want to make the playoffs because in reality, by the

222
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 1: letter of the law, he's correct, Like he was making

223
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 1: about three hundred and four hundred thousand a game in

224
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 1: the playoffs in the first round, Mitchell, we make twenty

225
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:55,559
Speaker 1: thousand dollars twenty grand. Everybody unless you got like a

226
00:10:55,600 --> 00:11:00,319
Speaker 1: bonus or something in your contract individually, the standard check

227
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:04,080
Speaker 1: that everybody receives twenty k our twenty twenty six and

228
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 1: some change.

229
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:05,080
Speaker 2: I gotta go.

230
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,439
Speaker 1: Look, but that's before taxes, So it ends up being

231
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:10,200
Speaker 1: like thirteen thousand, which is money, you know what I mean. Like,

232
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 1: let's not let's skot get out of hand here, but

233
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:14,839
Speaker 1: compared to three hundred grand, I mean, he's totally correct.

234
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 1: You go from making three hundred grand regular season games,

235
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 1: and then you go to the harder games, the games

236
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:22,200
Speaker 1: that matter, the games that everybody's watching and define your

237
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:25,320
Speaker 1: career and your legacy over and you're making thirteen thousand

238
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 1: after tax fourteen. Whatever it is, didn't change it for me, Mitchell.

239
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 1: They got rid of him the next year, they got

240
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 1: rid of a lot of guys like him, and you

241
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 1: had a lot of us left still trying to get

242
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 1: to a championship and win it.

243
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, that's gotta be things that obviously gms

244
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:44,040

Speaker 3: Richard, let's talk a little bit about this upcoming weekends games.

288
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 3: My Detroit Lions are looking for revenge. They're heading out

289
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:33,200
Speaker 3: to San Francisco. I know you are going to be

290
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 3: rooting for the Niners, and I respect that, But we

291
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 3: already talked about what left the forty nine ers have

292
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 3: to play for. We already said they've got a lot

293
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 3: of guys on the injury list throughout this week, already developing,

294
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 3: so we'll see who in plays. But Dan Campbell is

295
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 3: going on the road with the mission. He said, we

296
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 3: are bringing everything we've got into this game, and we

297
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 3: are playing and I don't care what it looks like

298
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 3: and where it's at, or with this or with what

299
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 3: We're going out to win this game out on the

300
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 3: West Coast. Richard, I know you like Dan Campbell. I mean,

301
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 3: how motivating is this guy to the Detroit Lions locker room,

302
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 3: especially after all they went through. Richard, he was on

303
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 3: local sports talk radio talking about this team getting back

304
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 3: to its roots and eating molded bread. Everyone's getting so

305
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 3: used to eating that filet here in Detroit and they

306
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 3: forget that we used to survive on molded bread. That

307
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 3: was his quote, and he got this old city riled up,

308
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 3: rich and motivated. How does he do it? Have you

309
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:35,280
Speaker 3: seen anything like this from a coach in your playing days.

310
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 1: Well, not from my coach, but yeah, I've seen motivation

311
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 1: in different ways.

312
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 2: You know.

313
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 1: Pete was a different way of motivating than Kyle Shanahan.

314
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 1: Both of them got their teams to Super Bowls. Dan

315
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 1: is doing it a different way. Dan seems like the

316
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 1: kind of coach that would that would turn the hot

317
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 1: water heater off in the building and just say it

318
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 1: was adversity and say, hey, fellas, this is the adversity

319
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 1: we got to deal with this week, and we can't complain,

320
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 1: don't wind, don't anything, and his team's gonna respond to it,

321
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, they're gonna be talking about

322
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 1: how the world's against them and somebody cut their hot

323
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 1: water off, but it didn't matter because they went out

324
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 1: there and.

325
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 2: Practiced in the cold, and I love it.

326
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 1: I love it, Mitchell, because then they're gonna take this

327
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 1: team Mitchell, and he's gonna take a team that's been

328
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 1: eating steaks all season long and make them feel like

329
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 1: they've been eating top ramen. And I love that because

330
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 1: that's what a good coach can do. He can take

331
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 1: a team that's really talented and continue to find ways

332
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 1: to pull the right strings, to push the right button,

333
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 1: to make guys feel frustrated, motivated. I'm sure he's gonna

334
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 1: show them tap of the NFC Championship game from last

335
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 1: season and how that game went, especially in the second half,

336
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 1: and the things that went wrong, and the way this

337
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,920
Speaker 1: team celebrated the way they were feeling before and the

338
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 1: way they felt after and try to get those feelings back.

339
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 1: But the San Francisco forty nine's are in a much

340
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 1: different place. I don't think they're gonna be as motivated. Obviously,

341
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 1: they're gonna go out there and try to win this game,

342
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:08,120
Speaker 1: but they're really banged up. They don't have the horses, obviously,

343
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 1: the offensive lines banged up, the defensive lines banged up,

344
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:14,399
Speaker 1: the secondary's banged up, and receiving corps been banged up.

345
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 1: You saw the mistakes made. The running backs are all

346
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 1: banged up. Grindo, it's out. They're down to their fifth

347
00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:23,040
Speaker 1: and sixth is it fifth and six now? Running backs?

348
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 1: But you know, it's the National Football League, and they'll

349
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 1: go out there and they'll have to go put a

350
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:31,440
Speaker 1: put a good showing on and and try to play

351
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:34,679
Speaker 1: for pride because the Detroit Lions owe them nothing and

352
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 1: owe them no quarter. And I don't think they're gonna

353
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:39,880
Speaker 1: be giving them any quarter. And so they haven't given

354
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:42,000
Speaker 1: anybody else any quarter. Mitchell, they're they're the team that

355
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,920
Speaker 1: will blow them out and go for two. And and

356
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:47,959
Speaker 1: I think San Francisco understands that they they gotta they

357
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 1: gotta bring their hard hats, regardless of the circumstances, regardless

358
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 1: of the situation, you know what's who's coming to town

359
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:55,120
Speaker 1: and what mindset they're coming with, so you gotta match

360
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:57,159
Speaker 1: that mentality or are you gonna go home embarrassed.

361
00:17:57,440 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 3: I'm gonna double down on the in the last topic here, Rich,

362
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,479
Speaker 3: would you be more upset if the Niners won this

363
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,439
Speaker 3: game and got their pride or lost this game and

364
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:08,160
Speaker 3: improve their draft position? Which one would you find as

365
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:09,679
Speaker 3: a bigger benefit for these Niners?

366
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 2: Right now?

367
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 1: It's always winning. Winning is always the bigger benefit. You know,

368
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 1: draft is gonna happen, how it's gonna happen. You never

369
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:18,200
Speaker 1: know who's gonna be there. You never know how it's

370
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 1: gonna play, or what players are gonna actually be good

371
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:24,560
Speaker 1: pros that were good college kids. So I don't I

372
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 1: don't put a lot of stock into how these kids

373
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 1: are ranked coming out. You know, if you look at

374
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 1: the top tens of some of these drafts, you'll see

375
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 1: some players that aren't even on rosters anymore. Two three

376
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:36,400
Speaker 1: years later and you were looking like, man, I can't

377
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 1: I hope my team gets him, and oh my god,

378
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 1: we missed out on him, and the guy you got

379
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 1: instead of him ends up being All Pro and it's like, well,

380
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 1: maybe we just lucked out. No, it happens how it's

381
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 1: supposed to happen. So winning, winning is what I think

382
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:53,720
Speaker 1: they should play to do. It's gonna be a hard

383
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:56,919
Speaker 1: game for them to win. Detroit is a bully. They

384
00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 1: playing the game the right way. They're built the right way.

385
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:02,639
Speaker 1: So we talked about their deficiencies on the defensive side.

386
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 1: That's the only thing that will give the San Francisco

387
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:08,159
Speaker 1: forty nine ers a chance, and that's just a puncher's chance.

388
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:11,240
Speaker 1: And if they can find a way to somehow get

389
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:13,399
Speaker 1: to the quarterback, get to Jared Golf, that'll give him

390
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:16,640
Speaker 1: a puncher's chance. But it's gonna be a tough game

391
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:18,360
Speaker 1: for them to win, as banged up as they are.

392
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 1: But you know, this is the National Football League, and

393
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:22,480
Speaker 1: anything can happen. We just saw the New England Patriots

394
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 1: take the Buffalo Bills to the wire. We saw the

395
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:33,879
Speaker 1: Browns beat Pittsburgh and the Baltimore Ravens, so anything had happened.

396
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:37,400
Speaker 3: Certainly can well, Richard, we already talked about it yesterday.

397
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:41,359
Speaker 3: But this year's we've got football on Christmas, which is

398
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 3: a Wednesday on Netflix. Like apparently Beyonce's performing at a

399
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:50,159
Speaker 3: halftime of the Houston Texans Ravens game, and Lamar Jackson

400
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:52,920
Speaker 3: wants to see it. He says he's never seen Beyonce perform,

401
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 3: and that's it. It's at their game. So sorry, carbass,

402
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 3: sorry fellas, I'm not even thinking about the lead. I'm

403
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:02,879
Speaker 3: just about seeing Beyonce for the first time, no disrespect.

404
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 3: I mean, Richard, I know where you'd be if Beyonce's

405
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:09,880
Speaker 3: performing at halftime. Are you surprised by this at all

406
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 3: from Lamar Jackson, the leader of the team.

407
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:17,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I'm pretty surprised. But you know, I understand

408
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:20,280
Speaker 1: what he's saying. But Lamar Jackson has a lot of money.

409
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:23,400
Speaker 1: He made a lot of money in this league. Beyonce

410
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:26,400
Speaker 1: has many concerts and she performs all over the globe.

411
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:29,160
Speaker 1: I'm sure there's a time Lamar Jackson can go see

412
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 1: her when she's not performing at halftime while he's at work.

413
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:36,400
Speaker 1: But if his team allows it, if his coach allows it,

414
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 1: if he's bawling out in the first half, has three

415
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 1: four touchdowns and are double digits, I don't think anybody

416
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 1: will have a problem with it. I think people will

417
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:46,160
Speaker 1: be like, man, he went out there, made a statement,

418
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 1: watched Beyonce and walked away with a dub. It'll be legendary.

419
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 1: And that's the stuff that makes sports fun. That's what

420
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:56,400
Speaker 1: makes sports amazing. That's what is inspiring and entertaining about

421
00:20:56,440 --> 00:21:03,439
Speaker 1: these athletes in these scenarios. But tied or losing, I

422
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:06,200
Speaker 1: think you'll watch John Harball walking into the locker room.

423
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 2: Richard.

424
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:08,400
Speaker 3: Let's get to some of these games here. We got

425
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:10,920
Speaker 3: a game to night Monday Night Football. Not a whole

426
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 3: lot going on, the Green Bay Packers hosting the New

427
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 3: Orleans Saints. This New Orleans Saints team is not the

428
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:20,879
Speaker 3: team we're used to seeing. They seemed to have lost

429
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 3: their mojo. They have been riddled with injuries at key

430
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 3: positions throughout the year. Green Bay took advantage. Green Bay

431
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 3: is now eleven and four. We talked about it at length,

432
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 3: but this NFC North is absolutely ridiculous. Two teams at

433
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 3: thirteen and two and third place team with Green Bay

434
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:40,240
Speaker 3: at eleven and four, Richard, have you seen anything like

435
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 3: this in a division being this dominant, at least when

436
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:45,119
Speaker 3: it pertains to the record.

437
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:49,360
Speaker 1: I think we had one year when I was in

438
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 1: Seattle where we were maybe thirteen and three. I think

439
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:56,720
Speaker 1: San Francisco might have been twelve and four, and then

440
00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:59,239
Speaker 1: Arizona was like ten and seven or something, and they

441
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 1: didn't make our six and they didn't make the playoffs

442
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:05,200
Speaker 1: that year because there were only six teams that made

443
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 1: it at that time. Outside of that, I can't think

444
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:10,359
Speaker 1: of a time where it's been this this crazy, you know,

445
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:13,240
Speaker 1: I mean this many double digit win teams, uh, this

446
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 1: closed late in the season. And obviously the league is

447
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:20,360
Speaker 1: doing a great job of having these matchups the way

448
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 1: they are. I mean, even the Saturday matchups that we

449
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:27,400
Speaker 1: just had this weekend were incredible. Baltimore Ravens, Pittsburgh Steelers,

450
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:30,200
Speaker 1: the Houston, Texas, Kansas City Chiefs, and all they doing,

451
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 1: all they're doing on Christmas Day is flipping those matchups.

452
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:37,199
Speaker 1: So the Baltimore Ravens are playing the Texans, now the

453
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 1: Chiefs are playing the Steelers. It's great December December football.

454
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 1: And I'm sure the NBA is probably really frustrated because

455
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 1: nobody's gonna be watching those NBA games because the best

456
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:52,400
Speaker 1: games you can watch are on on or in the NFL,

457
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 1: and those games are gonna be really good. They're gonna

458
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 1: have really monumental stakes, especially in the AFC. If if

459
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 1: bought both Baltimore and Pittsburgh win, the end of the

460
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 1: season is going to be up in the air who

461
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 1: wins that division. If one of them loses, it's still

462
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:10,679
Speaker 1: gonna be meaningful at the end of the season.

463
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:13,760
Speaker 2: But to talk about the.

464
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 1: New Orleans game, In this Green Bay game, green Bay

465
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 1: looked really dominant. Lake Ford wanted to see how dominant

466
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 1: they can be. All three phases. They looked dominant. Didn't

467
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 1: turn the ball over on offense, didn't give up a sack,

468
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:29,199
Speaker 1: really efficient, Josh Jacobs ran the ball well. They were

469
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:31,359
Speaker 1: able to get the starters out and for most of

470
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:34,120
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter they were able to get some young

471
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:36,920
Speaker 1: guys in there and get some run. Our guy Keisha

472
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 1: and Nixon friend of mine for end of the program. Uh,

473
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:42,679
Speaker 1: sack force fumble in the game that that you know

474
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:46,040
Speaker 1: had an impact, had really good coverage all game and

475
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:48,680
Speaker 1: starting to come into his own and and gonna I'm

476
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 1: gonna be looking to get another payday soon from from

477
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 1: one of these games, and just got one. But yeah,

478
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:58,159
Speaker 1: they look like a really formidable team. Their defense pitching

479
00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:00,479
Speaker 1: a shutout. Uh, this is the National Football League, no

480
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:04,880
Speaker 1: matter how how easy you think the game is, how

481
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 1: bad you think the team is. It's hard to pitch

482
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:10,240
Speaker 1: a shoutout. Jeff Hafley is doing an incredible job with

483
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:14,439
Speaker 1: this defense. Obviously they got an interception in the game.

484
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 1: They could have had two. I thought our boy Xavier

485
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:19,439
Speaker 1: McKinney got another one right before the half on the

486
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:22,400
Speaker 1: Hell Mary, but couldn't get his other foot inbounds. They

487
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:24,440
Speaker 1: look like a really complete team, and I think that's

488
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:27,159
Speaker 1: what makes on a dangerous team in the playoffs is

489
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:29,440
Speaker 1: because they both sides of the ball. They're really complete.

490
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:31,520
Speaker 1: They don't have to depend on any one player or

491
00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:34,199
Speaker 1: any one side of the football. They got a good

492
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:36,399
Speaker 1: d line, they got a really good linebacker play. They

493
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:41,400
Speaker 1: got some emerging stars. Cooper the the linebacker slash end

494
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 1: or whatever. They got him listed as emerging as a

495
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 1: really elite player both in the pass and run game.

496
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 1: Rashaan Gary's having another good year. Xavier and mckelly, he's

497
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:53,360
Speaker 1: having an All Pro Pro Bowl year. We talked about

498
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:55,359
Speaker 1: Key Sean and the impact he's making both in the

499
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 1: slot on end on the outside. Jay r Alexander when

500
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:02,240
Speaker 1: he gets healthy, he it has, you know, reputation speaks

501
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:05,119
Speaker 1: for herself been one of the elite playmakers. And again

502
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 1: Jeff Haffley came in here and is making an incredible difference.

503
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:08,879
Speaker 2: In his defense.

504
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 1: It seems like guys are starting to buy in more,

505
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 1: starting to understand what he's what his mindset is. I

506
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 1: think players relate to him. He's one of the better

507
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:20,080
Speaker 1: player coaches who listens to his players, who communicates with

508
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:22,880
Speaker 1: him throughout the week, has an open door policy, lets

509
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:25,760
Speaker 1: guys come in and out and really hear's their thoughts,

510
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:27,879
Speaker 1: and I think all the players have spoke to that.

511
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:31,680
Speaker 2: It looks really good. They're a very unique team.

512
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:34,479
Speaker 3: They've got no true number one wide out. They've got

513
00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:37,240
Speaker 3: a bunch of guys that are high level number two receivers.

514
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 3: It kind of reminds me a bit of when you

515
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 3: were playing early on with the Seahawks and it was Doug,

516
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:44,879
Speaker 3: it was cursed, it was you know, Golden Tate. It

517
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:47,800
Speaker 3: was these guys that were, you know, trying to really

518
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:50,000
Speaker 3: prove their name in this league. The question I have

519
00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:53,479
Speaker 3: for you pertains that Jordan Love. I mean, we've seen it.

520
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 3: You know, granted, Green Bay's pulling away with this game,

521
00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:58,640
Speaker 3: there's no reason to throw the football, but statistically speaking

522
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:00,960
Speaker 3: at a thirty four and out the blow. You didn't

523
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:03,320
Speaker 3: expect to see a stat line of sixteen for twenty

524
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:06,439
Speaker 3: eight and a touchdown and what easily could have been

525
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 3: an interception as well. Do you think this version of

526
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 3: Jordan Love can take Green Bay to the Promised Land,

527
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:15,120
Speaker 3: can take them out of the NFC and at least

528
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 3: get them in the Super Bowl with a chance to

529
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 3: bring home the trophy.

530
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:20,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, Mitchell, I've seen it a lot of different ways,

531
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:22,600
Speaker 1: depending on how your team is and if your defense

532
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:25,359
Speaker 1: is playing well. We did it and our quarterback didn't

533
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:26,880
Speaker 1: need to do a ton, you know what I mean.

534
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:28,399
Speaker 1: He just needs to make sure he didn't turn the

535
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 1: ball over. I think he had three total passing touchdowns

536
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:33,840
Speaker 1: in the entire playoffs. During our run to the Super

537
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:36,359
Speaker 1: Bowl and Super Bowl win. We had three games he

538
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:39,560
Speaker 1: had through three touchdown passes and we won the Super

539
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 1: Bowl by what was it thirty five points? And so

540
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:47,960
Speaker 1: so yes, the formula can work, but you need elite

541
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 1: defensive play. You need a great run game, and they

542
00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 1: have that. They have a bruising back and Josh Jacobs.

543
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:55,760
Speaker 1: They're drawing it a scheme that pits for him. He

544
00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:59,360
Speaker 1: does a great job of wearing defenses down as they go.

545
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:03,240
Speaker 1: They get turnovers on defense. They found a way to

546
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:06,400
Speaker 1: be really sound. That secondary is flying around, Their coverages

547
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:09,960
Speaker 1: are moving, they're adjusting on the fly, They're trusting each other.

548
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:14,119
Speaker 1: You can see the chemistry, the camaraderie and special teams.

549
00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 1: They're they're opportunistic. They McManus is kicking the ball well.

550
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:23,359
Speaker 1: Whether it's in the code or in under great conditions,

551
00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 1: he's doing a great job. So yeah, you can get

552
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:27,560
Speaker 1: it done like this. You don't need the quarterback to

553
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:30,760
Speaker 1: throw for five hundred yards and five touchdowns necessarily to

554
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:32,920
Speaker 1: win you the ball game. You just have to avoid

555
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:35,399
Speaker 1: the turnovers. And that's gonna be the thing. And I

556
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 1: think that's what Lafloor is preaching right now to Jordan

557
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:41,239
Speaker 1: love Is, Hey, this is where we need you at.

558
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 1: It's almost like Hitch Mitchell, Hey, this is where you're at.

559
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:49,240
Speaker 2: Mitchell. We don't need any of this, We just need

560
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:50,119
Speaker 2: you right here. Mitchell.

561
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:52,920
Speaker 1: Just stay right here, Just stay right here. You don't

562
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:55,960
Speaker 1: do anything crazy. We got a chance. But it's when

563
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,480
Speaker 1: things start to go haywire and you start trying to

564
00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:00,399
Speaker 1: get cute and you start to want to Hey, I

565
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:04,119
Speaker 1: want to show how talented I am mm hmm right here.

566
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:09,479
Speaker 1: Don't go anywhere but right here, Mitchell, And if they

567
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:12,960
Speaker 1: stay right here, back straight to the basics, and you'll

568
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:14,240
Speaker 1: they give themselves.

569
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:19,040
Speaker 2: The best shot. Well they got they got in a

570
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 2: game of the week.

571
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:22,680
Speaker 3: Uh next week for sure as they go on the road,

572
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 3: they can play the Minnesota Vikings with so much at stake.

573
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 3: You know, both of these teams in terms of seeding

574
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:31,600
Speaker 3: potentially and in the division. I know you like the

575
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:35,719
Speaker 3: Minnesota Vikings, but these teams are very similar in makeup

576
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:37,879
Speaker 3: and how they've been playing through the season. Do you

577
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:39,880
Speaker 3: think Green Bay can go on the road and still

578
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:41,240
Speaker 3: a win from Minnesota?

579
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:42,080
Speaker 2: No.

580
00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 1: I think their best chance was to get them when

581
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:47,680
Speaker 1: they when they came to Lambo, Minnesota got away from earlier.

582
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:49,520
Speaker 1: They were able to roar back into the game and

583
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:51,760
Speaker 1: make it competitive and have had a chance to win it.

584
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 1: I think it's going to be tougher than to go

585
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:55,959
Speaker 1: into Minnesota. It's a much tougher place to play than

586
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 1: people give credit. It's a really tough place to play,

587
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:03,360
Speaker 1: and they're playing really good football. I think Seattle should

588
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:06,000
Speaker 1: have got him last week, you know, without a few mistakes,

589
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:09,560
Speaker 1: a few bunder blunders, a few mental errors. Uh, they

590
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:13,000
Speaker 1: could have won that game. But you got to give

591
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:16,200
Speaker 1: Minnesota and Sam Darnold a lot of credit. Kevin O'Connell

592
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:19,360
Speaker 1: the way he's drawing it up, they're really talented team. Uh,

593
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 1: Brian Flores, the way this defense is playing. They have

594
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 1: all the pieces in place. The gink the Kinkler, Metchell.

595
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:31,280
Speaker 1: The Kinkler is out here having a Pro Bowl type season,

596
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:33,360
Speaker 1: really fitting well in this defense.

597
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 3: Grenard is having a really great y natural over there.

598
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 3: Rich It's just like he's the perfect fit for that Viking. Look,

599
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 3: if he doesn't want to play for the team, maybe

600
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:45,400
Speaker 3: go be the mascot afterwards.

601
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:47,960
Speaker 1: Richard, I don't know, he's the face of the franchise.

602
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:53,640
Speaker 1: The franchise, but they're they're doing. Aaron Jones is running

603
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:55,480
Speaker 1: the ball, well, they have a good chance. You know,

604
00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 1: they got to make sure the same things that apply

605
00:29:57,520 --> 00:29:59,160
Speaker 1: to him. You can't turn the ball over, you can't

606
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:03,000
Speaker 1: be fumbling the ball if you're Aaron Jones. Defensively, it's

607
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 1: it is a feast or famine kind of defense because

608
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:07,400
Speaker 1: you know, they put a lot of pressure and then

609
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:09,480
Speaker 1: they pop out into that cover too, or they bring

610
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:11,800
Speaker 1: to zero blitz and then they got to play zero

611
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:14,520
Speaker 1: and they disguise things and put Harrison Smith all these

612
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:19,640
Speaker 1: different places. Fits pretty much said you should assume it's

613
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:21,560
Speaker 1: covered two every time when they pop out, and if

614
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 1: it's something else, then you throw the hot as if

615
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:25,240
Speaker 1: it's zero coverage.

616
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 2: But I think that's what Jordan Love has struggled with

617
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:29,000
Speaker 2: this season.

618
00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:31,680
Speaker 1: He struggled with it when we went to Detroit and

619
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:34,000
Speaker 1: we had that game against the Detroit Lions. That's what

620
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:36,640
Speaker 1: they did. That's how Aaron Glenn attacked him. He brought

621
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:39,480
Speaker 1: pressure consistently. And that's the thing that's been Jordan Love's

622
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 1: achilles heel this season and a little bit of last season,

623
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 1: is dealing with pressure in his face. And I think

624
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:46,240
Speaker 1: they're going to try to bring a lot of pressure

625
00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:49,960
Speaker 1: this game. Obviously, that's what floor is, that's that's that's

626
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:53,280
Speaker 1: what he lives off of, you know, That's that's his mentality,

627
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:56,520
Speaker 1: that's his reputation, and I think that's what's gonna happen.

628
00:30:56,960 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 1: And if Josh Jacobs continues to run the ball like

629
00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:02,760
Speaker 1: he he's doing, He's going to continue to get awards

630
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 1: and be up for all pros and be up for

631
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:08,479
Speaker 1: things like our Player in Prime Time, brought to you

632
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 1: by our friends and partners over at Brightling.

633
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:11,680
Speaker 2: Mitchell.

634
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:14,920
Speaker 1: He's running the ball as well as anybody, obviously seventh

635
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:17,440
Speaker 1: in yards right now. But when you look at the

636
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 1: every game the eye test, you see him go in

637
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:24,520
Speaker 1: and he's just bruising, bruising, never goes down from the

638
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:27,880
Speaker 1: first tackler. It's always two three guys breaking two three

639
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 1: tackles each carry. He's a big reason why this team

640
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 1: is having so much success. While the mentality has changed,

641
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:38,200
Speaker 1: they're much more of a bruising, physical team, and they

642
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:40,720
Speaker 1: can finish games. They can close games out, and he's

643
00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:43,880
Speaker 1: been doing that. So obviously he deserves to be our

644
00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:46,880
Speaker 1: Player in Prime Time this week, brought to you by Brightling.

645
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:49,600
Speaker 1: There are very few backs playing better than him. Obviously,

646
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:52,280
Speaker 1: Saquan and Derrick Henry have a case. We can't really

647
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 1: talk about that.

648
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 3: You know what's wild about all three of those backs,

649
00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:58,040
Speaker 3: Rich is they were given up on by their former

650
00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:01,880
Speaker 3: team last year. You know, it's the three I was

651
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:04,320
Speaker 3: just gonna say this, The three guys you just mentioned

652
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:07,240
Speaker 3: all were giving up upon. I mean, it's it's the

653
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:09,920
Speaker 3: resurgence of the running back. Richard Dare I say the

654
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,920
Speaker 3: running back has made a comeback because you're seeing teams

655
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:15,680
Speaker 3: like the Lions that are spending high first round picks,

656
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 3: like the Atlanta Falcons with Bijon Robinson, and now teams

657
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:22,800
Speaker 3: are starting to pay these guys more. It's wild to me,

658
00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:26,160
Speaker 3: and it's you can kind of understand the trajectory of

659
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:28,920
Speaker 3: two teams. The Raiders give up on Josh Jacobs for

660
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 3: absolutely no reason. It's not like he got paid a

661
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:34,240
Speaker 3: ridiculous amount of money. He got paid what he was

662
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:36,960
Speaker 3: worth and frankly, maybe a little bit below what he's worth.

663
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:39,680
Speaker 3: And then you look at Saquan in New York. I

664
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 3: mean that might be a firewall offense. I know Jamarrow

665
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:46,280
Speaker 3: was was very very you know, it hit him hard

666
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:49,800
Speaker 3: when he realized that potentially lose Saquon. I know, what

667
00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:51,800
Speaker 3: is it shown is that his name the GM with

668
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:55,640
Speaker 3: the Giants. He's new into his tenure. I know he's

669
00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:57,600
Speaker 3: taking a couple of swings. You know, he got the

670
00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 3: d N from a burn from the Panthers and made

671
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:03,840
Speaker 3: a couple other moves in the draft. But I think

672
00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:09,040
Speaker 3: not coming from not signing Saquon might ultimately result in

673
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:11,480
Speaker 3: the door closing on him. What do you think, Rich,

674
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:13,760
Speaker 3: I mean, the decisions like that, do you think you

675
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:16,600
Speaker 3: could get this GM another shot or you think he's

676
00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:18,240
Speaker 3: gonna be on the hot seat because of the decision

677
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:18,640
Speaker 3: like that.

678
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:21,640
Speaker 1: I think they'll give him another shot just because he

679
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 1: says the right things. And sometimes if you look the

680
00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:26,440
Speaker 1: right way, Mitchell, when you say the right things, you

681
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:28,480
Speaker 1: get time in this league, even though you make obvious

682
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:31,480
Speaker 1: and and and the worst part about this is that

683
00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:33,720
Speaker 1: you could see it is that they were doing the

684
00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:35,720
Speaker 1: hard knocks, and we got to see the behind the

685
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:38,959
Speaker 1: scenes stuff between him and Mara and the conversations between

686
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:43,160
Speaker 1: he and Saquon. It made it look ten times worse

687
00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:46,000
Speaker 1: because you could clearly see Saquon wanted to be there

688
00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:50,600
Speaker 1: and clearly see they didn't see the value that they

689
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:55,160
Speaker 1: had in him. And what was frustrating to me, It's

690
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:56,840
Speaker 1: not like you guys are paying a lot of people.

691
00:33:56,840 --> 00:33:58,800
Speaker 1: It's not like you are an elite team that are

692
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:02,280
Speaker 1: paying all these crazy and you gotta really count the

693
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:05,920
Speaker 1: salary cap and Penny Pinch like he's your home run hitter,

694
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:09,480
Speaker 1: he's your franchise player, and you're valuing a quarterback who's

695
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:11,600
Speaker 1: unproven and should have never got that kind of money

696
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:14,759
Speaker 1: over a back that's been homegrown and been a superstar

697
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:18,360
Speaker 1: for you played hard, never never really you know, cheated

698
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:21,040
Speaker 1: at you never try to take take games off or

699
00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:22,239
Speaker 1: give up on your team.

700
00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:24,600
Speaker 2: He wants to be in the city.

701
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:29,560
Speaker 1: And you could see these franchises taking those dives that

702
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:32,959
Speaker 1: did this. Derrick Henry, what are the Tennessee Titans now

703
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:37,560
Speaker 1: in disarray? Las Vegas Raiders? What are they right now?

704
00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:38,520
Speaker 1: In disarray?

705
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:41,799
Speaker 2: Go on, New York Giants, they're gonna be picking number

706
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:42,640
Speaker 2: one in the draft.

707
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:46,279
Speaker 1: Disarray got rid of the same quarterback they chose over

708
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:49,480
Speaker 1: Sakuon Barkley. That's why it's a fireball of fence, because

709
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:53,320
Speaker 1: what are you doing? It's clear and obvious, and it

710
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:56,680
Speaker 1: almost you gotta be blind or some kind of weird

711
00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 1: biased like I don't know if he's blackmailing or something

712
00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:03,600
Speaker 1: to not see that. And if you can't see those

713
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:06,439
Speaker 1: obvious things, what makes you think that you're gonna see

714
00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:08,960
Speaker 1: some obvious talent in the future, Like you can make

715
00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:11,239
Speaker 1: great decisions in the future. So I would get rid

716
00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:13,000
Speaker 1: of him, but they're not going to. He's gonna get

717
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:15,520
Speaker 1: another chance and another chance, and then once he gets

718
00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:17,600
Speaker 1: fired from here, somebody else will give him another chance.

719
00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:19,480
Speaker 1: And that's how the league works. Even though he made

720
00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:22,759
Speaker 1: an awful decision, his thought process throughout the decision to

721
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:25,440
Speaker 1: get rid of sa Quon what's terrible. You disrespected the

722
00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:28,360
Speaker 1: guy throughout the entire process and you felt like, ah,

723
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:30,640
Speaker 1: he's disposable nobody else. Hey, go out there and see

724
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:32,120
Speaker 1: what they're gonna give you, and then come back to

725
00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:34,200
Speaker 1: us and we'll sign you for what we told you.

726
00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:35,759
Speaker 1: We're gonna sign you for. You Like, that's not how

727
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:37,719
Speaker 1: you treat a guy like that. You say, hey, name

728
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:40,080
Speaker 1: your number, we'll do our best to match, and if

729
00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:42,440
Speaker 1: we can't, I'm sorry, we've got to let you go.

730
00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:44,520
Speaker 2: But we gave you our best shot.

731
00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:46,400
Speaker 1: You're not paying anybody, so that's why he knew you

732
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:49,839
Speaker 1: could pay him what he needs to pay him. And

733
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:52,000
Speaker 1: now you're watching him have an MVP season for a

734
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:55,960
Speaker 1: division rival, Like that's what makes it a fireable offence.

735
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:58,920
Speaker 1: You watch your team win two games and then Mars

736
00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:03,279
Speaker 1: watching the Philadelphia he goes in Takuon run for what

737
00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:04,920
Speaker 1: appears to be two thousand yards.

738
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:07,839
Speaker 2: This season a career year do.

739
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:10,560
Speaker 3: You think they can even make eye contact at this point, Richard,

740
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:12,480
Speaker 3: because that's all I think about. I think mar is

741
00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:15,840
Speaker 3: just watching Saquon run wild, and then the GM's coming in.

742
00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:19,000
Speaker 3: I can't even imagine them in the same room and

743
00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:23,439
Speaker 3: watching Saquon highlights in Philly. It's to see what he's

744
00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:26,960
Speaker 3: doing and how he's elevated. That Philly offense is insane.

745
00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:30,080
Speaker 3: And to let that talent walk out the door, it's

746
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:33,360
Speaker 3: mine numbing. Let's talk a little bit about the Dallas Cowboys.

747
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:35,200
Speaker 3: They're on a hot streak here. I did not see

748
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:37,160
Speaker 3: this coming. I don't know if you saw this coming.

749
00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:39,840
Speaker 3: It looks like Cooper Rush has really settled in and

750
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:43,400
Speaker 3: found his pace. Unfortunately, it's too late in the season

751
00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:46,439
Speaker 3: for them. They're already eliminating from the playoffs, but they're

752
00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:49,800
Speaker 3: playing for that pride you talked about, Richard, How surprised

753
00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:52,719
Speaker 3: are you with this Dallas Cowboy win. It comes at

754
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:55,520
Speaker 3: the cost of knocking the Bucks out of the playoffs

755
00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:58,600
Speaker 3: for the time being and needing the Atlanta Falcons to

756
00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:01,040
Speaker 3: lose at some point later in the sea. How big

757
00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:02,960
Speaker 3: of a losses is for Tampa, Richard, And I was

758
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:05,640
Speaker 3: surprised you to see it come out in the win

759
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:06,759
Speaker 3: column for Dallas.

760
00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:09,560
Speaker 1: This is a devastating loss for Tampa because you know,

761
00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:14,600
Speaker 1: I obviously they had a lot of momentum going. They

762
00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:18,719
Speaker 1: were playing really good, seemed to be in control of

763
00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:21,640
Speaker 1: the NFC South Atlanta seemed to be going and trending

764
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:23,920
Speaker 1: in the other direction with the way Kirk Cousins was

765
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:26,960
Speaker 1: playing and throwing the interceptions, and then it all falls apart,

766
00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:29,080
Speaker 1: and it has.

767
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:30,359
Speaker 2: To be disappointing.

768
00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:33,040
Speaker 1: Because it looked like at the end of that game

769
00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:34,960
Speaker 1: they were going to rally and Baker Mayfield was going

770
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:36,880
Speaker 1: to come up with another miracle. He throws it to

771
00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:40,719
Speaker 1: Rashad White on like a just a flip because he

772
00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:43,439
Speaker 1: was he was in the grasp and about to get sacked.

773
00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:45,280
Speaker 1: He was trying to avoid the sack, got the fallout,

774
00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:48,560
Speaker 1: Rashard White broke a tackle and then Deran Bland makes

775
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:51,160
Speaker 1: an incredible play takes the ball from him and that's game.

776
00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:53,719
Speaker 1: And that's that's the most frustrating thing, because I think

777
00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:55,560
Speaker 1: he was going to drive him down the field and

778
00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:57,480
Speaker 1: set him up for a game winning field goal. What

779
00:37:57,520 --> 00:37:59,640
Speaker 1: they would made the field goal or not, I don't know,

780
00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:01,920
Speaker 1: but it seemed like with the way Baker was playing,

781
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:04,280
Speaker 1: they were gonna have a chance at a game winning

782
00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:08,520
Speaker 1: field goal. So if their season just went to is

783
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:11,920
Speaker 1: over because of a guy fumbling football, you know, in

784
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:14,200
Speaker 1: that situation, I'm sure it's going to be really devastating

785
00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:18,160
Speaker 1: and disappointing, especially knowing the way that Bucky Irving had

786
00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:20,320
Speaker 1: been playing, and he wasn't in a game at that time,

787
00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:22,800
Speaker 1: and that might be their season. And that was a

788
00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:25,520
Speaker 1: team that you know, you thought could be dangerous, you know, Bowls,

789
00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:28,480
Speaker 1: and this Buccaneers team is always dangerous in the playoffs.

790
00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:31,400
Speaker 1: And Atlanta is playing Pinnix now and he had a

791
00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:34,880
Speaker 1: solid game obviously at the interception, should have had a touchdown,

792
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:41,000
Speaker 1: but Kyle Pitts dropped the football, and that calls the

793
00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:43,600
Speaker 1: actual cause the interception because it was a ball in

794
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:46,400
Speaker 1: his hands and he just let it go. He seems

795
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:49,359
Speaker 1: disinterested in playing in the National Football League right now,

796
00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:51,880
Speaker 1: but that's just my opinion. But yeah, the Cowboys are

797
00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:52,720
Speaker 1: playing good football.

798
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:53,040
Speaker 2: You know.

799
00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:55,520
Speaker 1: They they're a talented team, and when you came into

800
00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:59,000
Speaker 1: this season, you thought they would be competing for the

801
00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:00,360
Speaker 1: NFC East Cram.

802
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:01,840
Speaker 2: They have enough talent.

803
00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:04,440
Speaker 1: You talked about how they paid Dak Prescott, how they

804
00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:07,920
Speaker 1: paid Micah Parsons. You know, they had Treyvon Diggs who

805
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:09,879
Speaker 1: just went out for the knee surgery, says he's gonna

806
00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:12,520
Speaker 1: be out eight months. But Deron Bland had the incredible

807
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:13,279
Speaker 1: season with all the.

808
00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:13,880
Speaker 2: Pick six is.

809
00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:16,919
Speaker 1: It's surprising because of how the season had been going.

810
00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:18,760
Speaker 1: But you can see this team as playing for pride.

811
00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:22,239
Speaker 1: Cooper Rush is finding his legs, Ceedee Lamb continues to

812
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:26,200
Speaker 1: have a really productive season, and it's good for them.

813
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:26,480
Speaker 2: You know.

814
00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:28,000
Speaker 1: I think at the end of the season, it's gonna

815
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:29,560
Speaker 1: be another one of those things where they're gonna look

816
00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:31,279
Speaker 1: up around draft time and they're gonna be picking at

817
00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:33,600
Speaker 1: twenty one. They're gonna be like, what happened? I thought

818
00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:35,600
Speaker 1: we had a bad year. It's like, not bad enough

819
00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:38,640
Speaker 1: to pick low. But you know, it's a good win

820
00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:41,000
Speaker 1: for them. They played the Philadelphia Eagles next week and

821
00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:42,879
Speaker 1: we'll see if they can play with that same kind

822
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:45,680
Speaker 1: of intense ty, maybe you know, pull out an upset.

823
00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:50,319
Speaker 1: Then the Bucks play the Carolina Panthers, who's who've been

824
00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:53,959
Speaker 1: giving people a much better game. You know, they beat

825
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:57,600
Speaker 1: an Arizona Cardinals team that had a chance to still

826
00:39:57,640 --> 00:40:00,400
Speaker 1: be competing for that last playoff spot, that last that

827
00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:05,960
Speaker 1: NFC West Division title, and they really ended that dream

828
00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:09,040
Speaker 1: right there. And I think you got to give teams

829
00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:11,080
Speaker 1: like that a lot of credit that continue to play hard,

830
00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:12,200
Speaker 1: that continue to show up.

831
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:14,240
Speaker 2: Bryce Young is starting to develop.

832
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:16,120
Speaker 1: You could see him taking the next step and the

833
00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:20,480
Speaker 1: next step, So it's good for them.

834
00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:23,560
Speaker 3: Or let's go on to buy or sell. This one

835
00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:27,840
Speaker 3: is a weird situation. It involves two of your favorite

836
00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:31,440
Speaker 3: I guess quarterbacks, and Kirk Cousins and Aaron Rodgers, and

837
00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:34,640
Speaker 3: your former team, the San Francisco forty nine Ers, Richard,

838
00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:38,360
Speaker 3: with the state of the Niners and the Rock Purty

839
00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:42,960
Speaker 3: situation looming. Buy er sell the forty nine Ers will

840
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:46,200
Speaker 3: sign Kirk Cousins or Aaron Rodgers this offseason.

841
00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:51,520
Speaker 2: I doubt it. I doubt it. I'll sell that. I

842
00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:52,080
Speaker 2: don't think you.

843
00:40:52,239 --> 00:40:53,800
Speaker 1: I don't think the forty nine ers are going to

844
00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:56,040
Speaker 1: sign either one of those because they won't back up

845
00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:59,120
Speaker 1: Rock Purdy unless Kirk is willing to take that role,

846
00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:02,520
Speaker 1: which I highly doubt out because he still believes he's

847
00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:04,080
Speaker 1: a starter in this league and I'm sure there's a

848
00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:07,240
Speaker 1: team out there that will need him to either mentor

849
00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:09,560
Speaker 1: a young guy or be a bridge quarterback or something

850
00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:12,040
Speaker 1: like that. He's probably reaching that point in his career,

851
00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:16,160
Speaker 1: made enough money obviously, but still has the pride and

852
00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:19,080
Speaker 1: you know, the ability to play at a high level.

853
00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:21,160
Speaker 1: But that Achilles is gonna wear on you, you know what

854
00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:24,480
Speaker 1: I mean, And it's really impacted his performance. Has impacted

855
00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:26,839
Speaker 1: his physical abilities and his ability to push the ball

856
00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:28,200
Speaker 1: down the field. And you can see that. You can

857
00:41:28,239 --> 00:41:30,160
Speaker 1: see it from game one. You can see it in

858
00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:33,040
Speaker 1: their run game. He's not the most mobile quarterback in

859
00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:35,200
Speaker 1: the National Football League, but he's a lot more mobile

860
00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:37,600
Speaker 1: than he has been. And you can see the differences

861
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:41,120
Speaker 1: when Michael Pennox is in there, you know, just casual

862
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:43,880
Speaker 1: pocket movement, you know, getting out of there a little

863
00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:46,879
Speaker 1: bit sooner, you know, running for a few yards here

864
00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:50,160
Speaker 1: and there, making negative plays positive plays. And that's something

865
00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:53,040
Speaker 1: Kirk just couldn't do with that Achilles. And I understand

866
00:41:53,040 --> 00:41:54,719
Speaker 1: that it takes a really long time for that to

867
00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:57,279
Speaker 1: come back and snap back the way you expecting it to.

868
00:41:57,400 --> 00:41:59,719
Speaker 1: And I never played quarterback in the National Football League,

869
00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:01,960
Speaker 1: but I'm sure it affects his mechanics driving the ball

870
00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:07,520
Speaker 1: down the field. It'll be better next season. But I

871
00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:11,040
Speaker 1: don't see him or Aaron backing anybody up. So I

872
00:42:11,080 --> 00:42:14,000
Speaker 1: think if Aaron's not in New York, I think he

873
00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:18,799
Speaker 1: hangs them up. And I think if Kirk's not in Atlanta,

874
00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:22,839
Speaker 1: another team will be calling him to have him at

875
00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:25,520
Speaker 1: least compete for a starting job. Let me really think

876
00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:29,760
Speaker 1: about it, Tennessee or team like that that just doesn't

877
00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:32,400
Speaker 1: have the quarterback and doesn't have the draft position to

878
00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:34,640
Speaker 1: really get the guy that can come in make an

879
00:42:34,680 --> 00:42:35,560
Speaker 1: immediate impact.

880
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:40,520
Speaker 3: It's just wild to me, and specifically the Atlanta Falcons organization.

881
00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:45,319
Speaker 3: What in the world is the GM's decision making process

882
00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:49,800
Speaker 3: with signing Kirk Cousins and then really reaching on Michael

883
00:42:49,840 --> 00:42:52,080
Speaker 3: Panic's junior. He certainly looks like a hell of a

884
00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:54,759
Speaker 3: quarterback and a steal at number eight. What goes through

885
00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:56,839
Speaker 3: your mind is a GM, why in the world would

886
00:42:56,840 --> 00:43:00,160
Speaker 3: you make that decision, especially now facing the reality of

887
00:43:00,239 --> 00:43:04,160
Speaker 3: cutting Kirk and leaving millions and millions and dead money

888
00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:06,560
Speaker 3: cap hit for the next two seasons.

889
00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:10,719
Speaker 1: Again, that's one of those concerning decisions that is kind

890
00:43:10,719 --> 00:43:14,200
Speaker 1: of legacy defining in terms of, like with your team

891
00:43:14,440 --> 00:43:16,400
Speaker 1: and they're going to be I'm sure Arthur Blank is

892
00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:18,080
Speaker 1: going to be taking a real close look at what

893
00:43:18,520 --> 00:43:22,480
Speaker 1: happens from here on because it essentially looks like they

894
00:43:22,520 --> 00:43:25,560
Speaker 1: paid Kirk Cousins ninety million dollars for fourteen games, and

895
00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:26,560
Speaker 1: it removes.

896
00:43:26,200 --> 00:43:28,719
Speaker 3: The benefit of drafting Michael Pennix and having them on

897
00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:32,000
Speaker 3: a rookie contract. I mean, the financial benefit from having

898
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:35,000
Speaker 3: a rookie is gone now because you're still stuck with

899
00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:38,439
Speaker 3: this cap hit from Kirk Cousins. It's one of those

900
00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:41,640
Speaker 3: moves man. When it happened, I think it shocked everyone

901
00:43:41,680 --> 00:43:44,320
Speaker 3: because you don't make it for a number of reasons,

902
00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:46,000
Speaker 3: and the biggest being financial.

903
00:43:46,239 --> 00:43:48,760
Speaker 2: So I just I don't get it, man, And.

904
00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:50,680
Speaker 3: Like you said, I think this could be legacy defining

905
00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:53,920
Speaker 3: for certainly this team. This this next one pains me,

906
00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:57,480
Speaker 3: but it's it's an oncoming reality. Ben Johnson's one of

907
00:43:57,520 --> 00:44:00,440
Speaker 3: the hottest names on the upcoming head coaching sir get

908
00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:03,160
Speaker 3: He's the OCI for the Detroit Lions, and we see

909
00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:07,160
Speaker 3: him get creative every single week. This week was the

910
00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:12,440
Speaker 3: fake fumble touchdown pass to Samaporta. Betan Johnson will be

911
00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:16,520
Speaker 3: the next head coach for the Chicago Bears by or.

912
00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:18,120
Speaker 2: So I can buy that.

913
00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:20,959
Speaker 1: I can buy that because they're They're probably the best

914
00:44:21,080 --> 00:44:24,960
Speaker 1: job out there, unless the the Dallas Cowboys job comes up,

915
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:30,800
Speaker 1: and it appears that Jerry Jones is gonna stick with McCarthy,

916
00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:33,000
Speaker 1: at least as he is. He hasn't fired him yet.

917
00:44:34,160 --> 00:44:37,759
Speaker 1: The team is playing better. I think they're fom one

918
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:42,439
Speaker 1: over the last five so all indications point to him

919
00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:46,080
Speaker 1: continuing as the Dallas Cowboys head coach, to I'm sure

920
00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:49,160
Speaker 1: the chagrin of the Green I mean Dallas Cowboys fans.

921
00:44:51,480 --> 00:44:53,120
Speaker 1: I don't think he wants to take the New Orleans

922
00:44:53,160 --> 00:44:57,080
Speaker 1: Saints job. I think Doug Peterson is going to be gone,

923
00:44:57,840 --> 00:44:59,839
Speaker 1: But if he's not, I don't think Jacksonville is really

924
00:44:59,840 --> 00:45:03,080
Speaker 1: a pealing job. Depending on what they do in Las Vegas,

925
00:45:03,120 --> 00:45:06,560
Speaker 1: still not better than the Chicago job. The New York

926
00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:10,000
Speaker 1: position isn't better than the Chicago job either either.

927
00:45:10,440 --> 00:45:10,800
Speaker 2: One.

928
00:45:11,239 --> 00:45:14,239
Speaker 1: I don't think they get rid of Dave Bowl, but

929
00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:17,400
Speaker 1: I don't think the Jets is going to be appealing

930
00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:20,560
Speaker 1: to anybody. The way Woody Johnson treated Salah and treated

931
00:45:20,600 --> 00:45:24,960
Speaker 1: that whole situation, and just their their GM coach dynamic,

932
00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:27,800
Speaker 1: the way it was built wasn't something that would be

933
00:45:27,840 --> 00:45:30,480
Speaker 1: acceptable to a lot of coaches. So I think Chicago

934
00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:34,640
Speaker 1: is the only place that really makes sense for Ben Johnson.

935
00:45:34,640 --> 00:45:36,640
Speaker 1: If he wants to be a head coach in this league,

936
00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:39,640
Speaker 1: he'll have his pick up a litter. I think other

937
00:45:39,680 --> 00:45:42,120
Speaker 1: coaches may be more desperate and may take one of

938
00:45:42,160 --> 00:45:44,640
Speaker 1: these other jobs just because they you know, they won't

939
00:45:44,640 --> 00:45:46,000
Speaker 1: have the pick of the litter. They will have to

940
00:45:46,040 --> 00:45:49,719
Speaker 1: just take the job that allows them to be a

941
00:45:49,719 --> 00:45:51,839
Speaker 1: head coach in the National Football League. But he'll get

942
00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:54,160
Speaker 1: his pick, and I think the best pick out of

943
00:45:54,160 --> 00:45:57,320
Speaker 1: all these jobs is probably going to be Chicago.

944
00:45:58,239 --> 00:46:02,040
Speaker 3: Moving on nonsports related, it's somewhat sports related, Richard. I

945
00:46:02,080 --> 00:46:04,239
Speaker 3: know you're a big holiday guy. I know you love

946
00:46:05,040 --> 00:46:07,560
Speaker 3: I know you love Harry Potter and dressing up for

947
00:46:07,600 --> 00:46:10,879
Speaker 3: Halloween and all that stuff. But buy or sell Christmas

948
00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:12,640
Speaker 3: is the best holiday.

949
00:46:13,400 --> 00:46:19,280
Speaker 1: Bye bye bye bye bye Metro. I have to buy it.

950
00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:22,040
Speaker 1: It's not even close. It's not even what other holiday

951
00:46:22,160 --> 00:46:25,560
Speaker 1: is even competing with Christmas. Halloween. I can eat candy

952
00:46:25,600 --> 00:46:29,280
Speaker 1: anytime and dress up. I could wear Harry Potter stuff

953
00:46:29,440 --> 00:46:31,200
Speaker 1: on a random Tuesday in March.

954
00:46:33,320 --> 00:46:35,719
Speaker 3: Fourth of July is nice and warm, dude, you're out

955
00:46:35,719 --> 00:46:38,919
Speaker 3: on the lake, I mean Thanksgiving, you're eating a nice

956
00:46:38,920 --> 00:46:39,960
Speaker 3: turkey with your family.

957
00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:41,080
Speaker 2: Fourth of July.

958
00:46:41,200 --> 00:46:43,480
Speaker 1: We want to honor the country and honor you know,

959
00:46:43,560 --> 00:46:47,720
Speaker 1: everything that happened. But no, it's not Christmas. Christmas means

960
00:46:47,760 --> 00:46:50,880
Speaker 1: so much more because it's bringing people together. You got

961
00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:54,440
Speaker 1: the clay Christmas cartoons and shows, you got the Grinch,

962
00:46:54,800 --> 00:46:59,880
Speaker 1: you got all the storytelling, all the pageantry around it,

963
00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:04,840
Speaker 1: all the giving and receiving energy, just positive. You know,

964
00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:09,840
Speaker 1: you got the song all I want for Christmas? Yas

965
00:47:11,800 --> 00:47:15,040
Speaker 1: Mariah Carey is still making millions off the song, probably

966
00:47:15,040 --> 00:47:18,000
Speaker 1: the best thing she's ever done in her life. Mariah,

967
00:47:18,320 --> 00:47:21,839
Speaker 1: what a what a song? Christmas? Mitchell. Sometimes I catch

968
00:47:21,880 --> 00:47:24,160
Speaker 1: myself in July listening to Christmas songs, and if I'm

969
00:47:24,200 --> 00:47:27,280
Speaker 1: listening to songs from a holiday that's six months away,

970
00:47:28,719 --> 00:47:30,000
Speaker 1: that's probably the best holiday.

971
00:47:30,040 --> 00:47:31,880
Speaker 2: And that's where I'm I don't know why that doesn't

972
00:47:31,920 --> 00:47:32,719
Speaker 2: surprise me. Man.

973
00:47:32,760 --> 00:47:35,160
Speaker 3: I could just envision you right now driving down the

974
00:47:35,239 --> 00:47:37,880
Speaker 3: road and listening to Mariah Carey on repeat, and it

975
00:47:37,920 --> 00:47:39,239
Speaker 3: would not shock me one bit.

976
00:47:40,520 --> 00:47:40,840
Speaker 2: Richard.

977
00:47:41,680 --> 00:47:45,000
Speaker 3: Look, we talked about we got Christmas. Christmas Day football

978
00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:48,640
Speaker 3: by your cell. The NFL playing on Christmas is awesome.

979
00:47:49,200 --> 00:47:52,160
Speaker 1: Bye bye. Sucks for the NBA, but you know we're

980
00:47:52,160 --> 00:47:52,880
Speaker 1: football guys.

981
00:47:52,880 --> 00:47:58,160
Speaker 2: Here. Give it a movie game, movie game. Get hey.

982
00:47:58,200 --> 00:48:01,040
Speaker 3: I got advice for you, get better, and that's that.

983
00:48:01,320 --> 00:48:05,359
Speaker 3: But Richard, you're gonna go and watch your Seattle Seahawks

984
00:48:05,480 --> 00:48:09,040
Speaker 3: this Thursday, take on the Chicago Bears. It's time for

985
00:48:09,120 --> 00:48:13,839
Speaker 3: our TNF preview, presented by Ryan Video. Richard, it's gonna

986
00:48:13,840 --> 00:48:16,080
Speaker 3: be cold. I hope you better bring a scarf man,

987
00:48:16,160 --> 00:48:18,919
Speaker 3: bring your bring your park up, bring whatever you got

988
00:48:18,960 --> 00:48:19,879
Speaker 3: and you might want to wear.

989
00:48:20,440 --> 00:48:23,600
Speaker 1: I thought that negative three point five was the was

990
00:48:23,600 --> 00:48:24,240
Speaker 1: was the weather.

991
00:48:24,360 --> 00:48:26,080
Speaker 2: It was the temperature for the game. I said.

992
00:48:26,080 --> 00:48:28,319
Speaker 1: I got a little concern. I said, yeah, I gotta

993
00:48:28,320 --> 00:48:29,759
Speaker 1: go jump in a cold tub at some point.

994
00:48:30,440 --> 00:48:33,120
Speaker 3: Again, Richard, it's not it's not gonna be negative three

995
00:48:33,120 --> 00:48:35,040
Speaker 3: and a half degrees, but it is a negative three

996
00:48:35,080 --> 00:48:38,120
Speaker 3: and a half point spread in favor of your Seattle Seahawks.

997
00:48:38,280 --> 00:48:41,600
Speaker 3: The Seahawks must win to keep any hopes of the

998
00:48:41,640 --> 00:48:46,080
Speaker 3: playoffs alive. Richard. The Bears have lost nine straight. They're

999
00:48:46,120 --> 00:48:50,640
Speaker 3: struggling teams. Players on the team looked like they're checked out.

1000
00:48:51,560 --> 00:48:53,680
Speaker 3: But then again, you're playing on the road, You're going

1001
00:48:53,680 --> 00:48:55,440
Speaker 3: to a different time when you're playing in a very

1002
00:48:55,480 --> 00:48:59,160
Speaker 3: cold environment. What do you think the Seahawks this week

1003
00:48:59,239 --> 00:49:02,239
Speaker 3: on Thursday? You think they can come out with a win. Yeah,

1004
00:49:02,280 --> 00:49:04,600
Speaker 3: I think they will come out with a win. Their

1005
00:49:04,640 --> 00:49:07,000
Speaker 3: defense has been playing well. They played well last week

1006
00:49:07,080 --> 00:49:10,040
Speaker 3: except for a few bonehead plays, a few mental errors

1007
00:49:10,040 --> 00:49:12,160
Speaker 3: that doomed them at the end of the game. Obviously,

1008
00:49:12,239 --> 00:49:15,400
Speaker 3: but I think this will be a game. You know,

1009
00:49:15,480 --> 00:49:18,239
Speaker 3: they can help them feel better about themselves. It will

1010
00:49:18,280 --> 00:49:22,240
Speaker 3: help their d line feel better. You know, they should

1011
00:49:22,239 --> 00:49:24,359
Speaker 3: get a lot of pressure on his quarterback. I'm sure

1012
00:49:24,640 --> 00:49:26,680
Speaker 3: McDonald will put a lot of exotic looks in front

1013
00:49:26,680 --> 00:49:28,319
Speaker 3: of him, make them hold the ball even more than

1014
00:49:28,360 --> 00:49:33,400
Speaker 3: he already does. He's likely top three and most sacked

1015
00:49:33,480 --> 00:49:35,799
Speaker 3: quarterbacks in the league this year, so I expect that

1016
00:49:35,880 --> 00:49:36,560
Speaker 3: to continue.

1017
00:49:36,600 --> 00:49:39,120
Speaker 2: So this is this is a stat pad game.

1018
00:49:40,239 --> 00:49:43,920
Speaker 1: This is a game the Seattle Seahawks should be licking

1019
00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:47,399
Speaker 1: their chops to get after the quarterback. You know, get

1020
00:49:47,440 --> 00:49:51,399
Speaker 1: four or five, maybe seven eight sacks. Geno Smith having

1021
00:49:51,440 --> 00:49:54,320
Speaker 1: efficient game. This defense though, This defense still can play

1022
00:49:54,560 --> 00:49:56,839
Speaker 1: and they have some playmakers on defense. That's what makes

1023
00:49:56,840 --> 00:49:59,400
Speaker 1: them attractive team for head coaches because they do have

1024
00:49:59,440 --> 00:50:01,320
Speaker 1: a good defense and say have the pieces in place.

1025
00:50:01,440 --> 00:50:03,680
Speaker 1: Their offense is just played so badly, at least at

1026
00:50:03,719 --> 00:50:06,719
Speaker 1: the quarterback position. And I know the numbers sometimes look

1027
00:50:06,800 --> 00:50:10,640
Speaker 1: like he's played better than what it actually has been

1028
00:50:10,960 --> 00:50:13,719
Speaker 1: because he's protecting his passer rating by not throwing the

1029
00:50:13,760 --> 00:50:16,799
Speaker 1: ball away and getting rid of it and taking unnecessary

1030
00:50:16,840 --> 00:50:21,239
Speaker 1: sacks to protect his stats. But this has been a

1031
00:50:21,360 --> 00:50:25,440
Speaker 1: not great season for him because you got to let

1032
00:50:25,480 --> 00:50:28,359
Speaker 1: the ball go, you know. And at times people are like, oh, yeah,

1033
00:50:28,360 --> 00:50:29,960
Speaker 1: he's taking all these sacks. It's the ole line. But

1034
00:50:30,080 --> 00:50:33,120
Speaker 1: some of these sacks are four and five seconds into

1035
00:50:33,160 --> 00:50:35,239
Speaker 1: the playclock. And so when you hold the ball that

1036
00:50:35,280 --> 00:50:38,799
Speaker 1: long in the National Football League, that's an eternity and

1037
00:50:38,840 --> 00:50:41,520
Speaker 1: that's in his achilles heel. And that has been his

1038
00:50:41,640 --> 00:50:46,520
Speaker 1: achilles heel even through the process of evaluating him coming

1039
00:50:46,520 --> 00:50:47,960
Speaker 1: out of USC and Oklahoma.

1040
00:50:48,360 --> 00:50:51,840
Speaker 2: Is he wants the huge play. He doesn't want to

1041
00:50:51,880 --> 00:50:52,920
Speaker 2: take the checkdown.

1042
00:50:53,120 --> 00:50:55,200
Speaker 1: You know. It's like the NBA right now, and people

1043
00:50:55,200 --> 00:50:56,959
Speaker 1: are like, what's wrong with the NBA. It's like guys

1044
00:50:56,960 --> 00:50:59,320
Speaker 1: can't make layups or mid ranges, but they'll shoot fifty

1045
00:50:59,320 --> 00:51:01,919
Speaker 1: threes and make six and people will be like, yeah,

1046
00:51:01,920 --> 00:51:03,560
Speaker 1: he's an All Star. I was like, I don't want

1047
00:51:03,600 --> 00:51:06,080
Speaker 1: to see you miss forty four throws. I want to

1048
00:51:06,080 --> 00:51:08,880
Speaker 1: see you I'd rather see you make twenty five layups,

1049
00:51:09,120 --> 00:51:11,560
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, make fifteen mid ranges and

1050
00:51:11,880 --> 00:51:14,279
Speaker 1: shoot ten threes and make two like.

1051
00:51:14,239 --> 00:51:17,080
Speaker 2: I'd be okay with that. But he's always looking for the.

1052
00:51:17,080 --> 00:51:21,680
Speaker 1: Home run and at times the singles right there in

1053
00:51:21,719 --> 00:51:24,600
Speaker 1: front of him. And until he learns to take singles,

1054
00:51:25,320 --> 00:51:28,760
Speaker 1: he's not going to win consistently in this league. And

1055
00:51:28,760 --> 00:51:30,759
Speaker 1: whether you have a good defense and run game and

1056
00:51:30,800 --> 00:51:33,640
Speaker 1: all the things that you are necessary in terms of

1057
00:51:33,680 --> 00:51:38,279
Speaker 1: the formula for winning, until he learns to take the singles, well.

1058
00:51:38,200 --> 00:51:40,640
Speaker 3: It's wild to think this is the final Thursday night

1059
00:51:40,680 --> 00:51:42,280
Speaker 3: football game of the season.

1060
00:51:42,440 --> 00:51:45,120
Speaker 2: Richard. It's time flies, man.

1061
00:51:45,160 --> 00:51:47,319
Speaker 3: I'm sure you've had some fun but on the road

1062
00:51:47,400 --> 00:51:50,719
Speaker 3: going to all these games, but this is the last one.

1063
00:51:50,760 --> 00:51:52,799
Speaker 3: So you guys have got to tune in. Make sure

1064
00:51:52,800 --> 00:51:56,880
Speaker 3: you check about seven o'clock Eastern time on Prime Video.

1065
00:51:57,400 --> 00:51:59,760
Speaker 2: Check out Richard in the Gang. Richard.

1066
00:52:00,239 --> 00:52:05,799
Speaker 3: One last thing, much anticipated Power rankings. Last week, the

1067
00:52:05,880 --> 00:52:10,440
Speaker 3: Detroit Lions spelled from the one spot I know Buffalo

1068
00:52:10,560 --> 00:52:15,000
Speaker 3: was hot Richard, this week's gonna be kind of a

1069
00:52:15,280 --> 00:52:18,319
Speaker 3: very interesting one because I think we might have a

1070
00:52:18,440 --> 00:52:21,800
Speaker 3: complete cluster and I can't wait for you to line

1071
00:52:21,840 --> 00:52:22,359
Speaker 3: these up.

1072
00:52:22,800 --> 00:52:23,960
Speaker 2: What do you got for this week?

1073
00:52:24,719 --> 00:52:28,840
Speaker 1: Well, we're gonna do it like we always do it.

1074
00:52:28,880 --> 00:52:31,640
Speaker 2: Mitchell. Kansas City Chiefs number one, Mitchell.

1075
00:52:31,640 --> 00:52:34,560
Speaker 1: They are still the top of the food chain until

1076
00:52:34,600 --> 00:52:37,720
Speaker 1: they're not. And they played well enough to win. Patrick

1077
00:52:37,719 --> 00:52:40,840
Speaker 1: Mahomes on a mom ankle or whatever, not bum ankle.

1078
00:52:40,880 --> 00:52:45,000
Speaker 1: He ran the ball pretty well. Their defense played well.

1079
00:52:45,080 --> 00:52:50,799
Speaker 1: Unfortunately Texans lost Tank Dale, but Kansas City Chiefs one.

1080
00:52:50,840 --> 00:52:53,480
Speaker 1: Detroit has to be two. I'll give them to Mitchell.

1081
00:52:54,440 --> 00:52:57,640
Speaker 1: I like it because Buffalo struggled with the Patriots, and

1082
00:52:57,680 --> 00:53:00,800
Speaker 1: I know Josh Allen said, hey, we're not showing everything

1083
00:53:00,840 --> 00:53:04,960
Speaker 1: we got. I've actually never heard of anything like that,

1084
00:53:05,000 --> 00:53:07,319
Speaker 1: at least said publicly in the National Football League, where

1085
00:53:07,320 --> 00:53:09,760
Speaker 1: somebody says we're just not showing stuff until the playoffs

1086
00:53:09,760 --> 00:53:11,920
Speaker 1: because we were we don't have a chance with the

1087
00:53:11,960 --> 00:53:14,000
Speaker 1: one seed. I've literally never heard anybody say that, but

1088
00:53:14,040 --> 00:53:16,319
Speaker 1: maybe they have. And since they said that, I'm going

1089
00:53:16,400 --> 00:53:19,120
Speaker 1: to go with Minnesota at three, and then I'll go

1090
00:53:19,200 --> 00:53:24,200
Speaker 1: Buffalo at four. The fifth spot is where it gets interesting.

1091
00:53:24,400 --> 00:53:28,560
Speaker 1: It gets very vexing. It's very vexing at five because

1092
00:53:30,880 --> 00:53:33,360
Speaker 1: on one hand, you want to put you know, the

1093
00:53:33,400 --> 00:53:37,200
Speaker 1: AFC North in there, Baltimore. So with Lamar and those

1094
00:53:37,239 --> 00:53:40,239
Speaker 1: guys did, there's a chance they could go in and

1095
00:53:40,239 --> 00:53:42,320
Speaker 1: win this week. They had a big win against Pittsburgh

1096
00:53:42,440 --> 00:53:44,320
Speaker 1: last week, so you can't put Pittsburgh there.

1097
00:53:46,080 --> 00:53:47,319
Speaker 2: Do you put Green Bay there?

1098
00:53:47,680 --> 00:53:51,799
Speaker 1: Dominant win over over the Saints, but you know there's

1099
00:53:51,840 --> 00:53:54,920
Speaker 1: a Saints and defense pitch to shut out m.

1100
00:53:57,560 --> 00:53:57,880
Speaker 2: Philly.

1101
00:53:58,600 --> 00:54:01,359
Speaker 3: I know that fan base for you to mention their

1102
00:54:01,440 --> 00:54:04,040
Speaker 3: name every once in a while as well, at least

1103
00:54:04,080 --> 00:54:07,600
Speaker 3: still twelve and three rich Ja they are contendered last week.

1104
00:54:08,120 --> 00:54:10,399
Speaker 3: That had a lot to do with probably why they

1105
00:54:10,440 --> 00:54:13,759
Speaker 3: lost that game. Assuming he's back, that team is going

1106
00:54:13,800 --> 00:54:15,560
Speaker 3: to be full health heading in the playoffs.

1107
00:54:16,400 --> 00:54:17,439
Speaker 2: I do like it too.

1108
00:54:18,040 --> 00:54:22,279
Speaker 1: I do like Philly with but but but and and

1109
00:54:22,320 --> 00:54:24,839
Speaker 1: Philly fans hate when I'm critical of them. You know,

1110
00:54:24,960 --> 00:54:27,359
Speaker 1: every team hates to hear the bad stuff about their team.

1111
00:54:27,400 --> 00:54:28,759
Speaker 1: You don't want you to just say, hey, they're gonna

1112
00:54:28,800 --> 00:54:30,799
Speaker 1: win the super Bowl, even if that's not true. But

1113
00:54:31,160 --> 00:54:35,280
Speaker 1: the five touchdowns Jalen Jayden Daniels threw on them thirty

1114
00:54:35,280 --> 00:54:38,280
Speaker 1: six points on a defense that's been playing elite football.

1115
00:54:39,280 --> 00:54:44,600
Speaker 1: That's where that's where the concern level is for me. Hmmm, Philadelphia, Philadelphia,

1116
00:54:44,640 --> 00:54:46,200
Speaker 1: off a loss, I do them in.

1117
00:54:46,480 --> 00:54:50,600
Speaker 4: Off of them, They've still got a better record than

1118
00:54:50,719 --> 00:54:53,520
Speaker 4: Baltimore by two games, still got a better record than

1119
00:54:54,360 --> 00:54:58,320
Speaker 4: the Pittsburgh Steelers, who didn't play as well defensively.

1120
00:54:59,760 --> 00:55:02,799
Speaker 2: You've mince me, Mitchell, I'll put Philadelphia in there, but grudgingly.

1121
00:55:05,800 --> 00:55:08,160
Speaker 3: I like it, Man. I was interested to see how

1122
00:55:08,160 --> 00:55:09,160
Speaker 3: you unpack that one.

1123
00:55:09,239 --> 00:55:09,560

Speaker 1: Number three rocking around the Christmas Street.

1138
00:56:06,600 --> 00:56:07,040
Speaker 2: I don't know.

1139
00:56:07,280 --> 00:56:09,680
Speaker 1: I don't know about that because I think Jackson five

1140
00:56:10,000 --> 00:56:12,200
Speaker 1: Santa Claus Is Coming to Town might be up there

1141
