Speaker 2: got a couple of things I want to get off

34
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:22,919
Speaker 2: my chest right now. And I hate to beat a grinch,

35
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 2: but I gotta. I gotta talk about it. It bothers me,

36
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 2: all right, So I'm going to share this with you.

37
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 2: I'm watching the game yesterday and watching the Bengals game

38
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:32,039
Speaker 2: because you know, I live.

39
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 3: In the area.

40
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 2: I'm kind of a fan. You know, I don't go

41
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 2: up and down. I don't live and die with them,

42
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 2: but you know they get smoked by the Steelers yesterday

43
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 2: thirty foot or eleven.

44
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 3: All right, And look, I'm not going to.

45
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 2: Point fingers at anybody. Not the play calling, which I

46
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 2: thought was weak, not the quarterbacking, which was terrible. But

47
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 2: the first thing that came to mind, and maybe I'm

48
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 2: on way off base, so reel me back in. Jake Browning,

49
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 2: the backup quarterback who's not quarterbacking.

50
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 3: For the Bengals, but Joe Burrow's earth.

51
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 2: After the Bengals won in overtime a week ago against

52
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 2: the Minnesota Vikings, he goes on camera and says, they

53
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 2: never should have cut me, pointing fingers to the Minnesota

54
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 2: Vikings they would in fact cut him. So in fact,

55
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 2: after the game yesterday, the first thing that comes into

56
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,360
Speaker 2: my mind is like, yeah, maybe they should have cut you,

57
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 2: because maybe that's the real Jake Browning we saw yesterday three.

58
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 2: It's maybe that's the reason they're And you know what,

59
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,360
Speaker 2: here's the deal, and you played in the league for

60
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 2: five years and you probably would never do this. But

61
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 2: if I was in the league and I saw his

62
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:34,920
Speaker 2: performance yesterday, I go on social media and say, yeah,

63
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 2: if I was a member of the Vikings, yeah we

64
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:38,799
Speaker 2: should have cut you. That's what I would have done.

65
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 2: I'm supposed I haven't seen that yet.

66
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 4: One, you always have to take the high root if

67
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 4: you're the Minnesota Vikings, like whatever reasons were behind why

68
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:50,919
Speaker 4: you dismissed him, you just kind of let that lie.

69
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 5: Jake Browne had the moment that.

70
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 4: Most players will have because as a player, you're always

71
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,080
Speaker 4: looking for a reason to be kind of motivated, like

72
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 4: you always hear one believed in us, we were the underdog. YadA, YadA, YadA.

73
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 4: Players feed off of that stuff. So he had his

74
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 4: moment a week ago in the Minnesota game because he

75
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:13,279
Speaker 4: beat one of his former ten. And what is happening.

76
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 4: The more Jake Grinding plays, the more the NFL gets

77
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 4: a book on him and what he likes to do.

78
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 5: And after you've.

79
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 4: Played four or five game, the leagues began to adjust

80
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 4: and adapt to what you do and how the team

81
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 4: plays with you. Because you remember the Cincinnati Bengals began

82
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 4: to change the way they played with Jake brown and

83
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 4: then as opposed to running Joe Burrow's version of that offense,

84
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 4: they're throwing to the backs more, they're doing some stuff

85
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 4: and without Jamar Chase. Because I felt like Jake Browning

86
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 4: had certainly benefited from he was solid, he'd been in

87
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 4: the system, but the supporting cast around him was a caliber.

88
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 4: Jamar Chase, t Higgins, Tyler Bloyd, Joe Mixon, all those

89
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 4: guys are terrific. And you see that when Joe Burrow's there. Well,

90
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 4: now you take Jamar Chase out, who is the number

91
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 4: one receiver, you have a lesser cast and what Pittsburgh

92
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 4: was able to do is kind of focus and make

93
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 4: Jake Browning beat them. And Jake Browning makes some I mean,

94
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 4: he made some egregious errors that cost him.

95
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 2: Right now, I understand what you're saying. I listened very

96
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 2: intently when you talk about this. You know football better

97
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 2: than anybody else, and you're saying that maybe the Leagus

98
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:17,840
Speaker 2: could have started figuring out Jake Browning right now, and

99
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 2: that's why maybe the Steelers, whoever tremendous defense, really got

100
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:22,720
Speaker 2: to him and got to him early and fast. Now

101
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:24,839
Speaker 2: could that very well be the reason why the Steelers

102
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:27,280
Speaker 2: one Because you have a guy like Mason Rudolph who

103
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 2: hasn't played like in some seven hundred and sixty nine days,

104
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 2: his first start in two years. No one knows anything

105
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 2: about Mason Rudolph except maybe when he played at Oklahoma State.

106
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,919
Speaker 2: And maybe that's why they were so successful because there's

107
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 2: no tape on Mason Rudolph a little bit.

108
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,279
Speaker 5: I mean, no one knew what that was going to

109
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:45,719
Speaker 5: look like.

110
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 4: With Mason Rudolph in the game, I will say he's

111
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 4: been in Pittsburgh for a long time. He has a

112
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 4: level of confidence because I am sure he sat in

113
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:59,599
Speaker 4: his crawl differently that mister Bisky came over and was

114
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 4: int as the number two in front of him. So

115
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:04,359
Speaker 4: he's kind of been doing his work on the Pratton's

116
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 4: field waiting for an opportunity to play, and when his

117
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 4: opportunity came, he played great. That was the best that

118
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:12,679
Speaker 4: we've seen Mason Rudolph. I mean, let's just be honest.

119
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 4: He hadn't played that well. He was decisive, he was aggressive,

120
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 4: he took care of the football. He made I would

121
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 4: say some tough guy plays when he scrambled and he

122
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:24,039
Speaker 4: jumped over defender to get the first down. He played

123
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 4: the way that Pittsburgh wants to see their quarterbacks play.

124
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:30,839
Speaker 4: And coming at a time where last week the franchise

125
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:35,840
Speaker 4: was ridiculed, Mike Tomlin was questioned George Pickens was kind

126
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 4: of like public enemy number one for the lack of

127
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 4: effort against the Colts.

128
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:42,279
Speaker 5: Corner.

129
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 4: And they responded like they always do whenever they're kind

130
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:48,160
Speaker 4: of backed into a corner, they always respond with great effort.

131
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 4: That's kind of been a hallmark of the Steelers and

132
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 4: Mike Tomlin, and that's what they did. They played one

133
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 4: of their best games, if not their best game. Of

134
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 4: the season when the world was down in them, and

135
00:05:57,960 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 4: so hats off to them, Hats off to Mason Rudolf.

136
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 2: Boy, they looked like the stealers of rold yesterday're not

137
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,360
Speaker 2: gonna go back and look at this Buffalo game yesterday.

138
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,600
Speaker 2: Buffalo gets by the LA Charges twenty four to twenty two.

139
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 2: And I look at this game, I mean and say,

140
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 2: Buffalo really and truly needs to say a prayer today

141
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 2: under the Christmas treet because they were lucky to win.

142
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:16,479
Speaker 2: They lose a turnover battle three zip, they lose a

143
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:19,279
Speaker 2: time of possession battle, they had seven penalties for sixty

144
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 2: four yards, and certainly they basically didn't deserve to win,

145
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 2: but they won anyway. And it's amazing that they get

146
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 2: by in that ball game yesterday. But again they went

147
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,719
Speaker 2: twenty four to twenty two on a whether sixty four

148
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 2: yard drive at the end of the game and Tyler

149
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 2: Bassett a twenty nine yard field goal with about twenty

150
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 2: eight twenty nine seconds left in the ball game. And

151
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 2: now is a game right there. But you gotta feel

152
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:44,480
Speaker 2: for the Chargers. I mean, this team to me is

153
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,159
Speaker 2: somewhat snaked bit and we know they can't finish, but yesterday,

154
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,479
Speaker 2: they had an opportunity to win win a big game

155
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 2: against Buffalo, and they failed in that one as well.

156
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean they played much better. And sometimes when

157
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 4: you get an interim coach, like the energy change is

158
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:00,840
Speaker 4: because the players know that once you get rid of

159
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 4: the head coach, the next people to go are the players.

160
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:08,159
Speaker 4: They cut Sebastian, they got rid of one of their captains,

161
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 4: and they played, They played hard, they played really well.

162
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 4: Performance against the Raiders bounced back, had this team in

163
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 4: a position to go win a game. But the Buffalo Bills,

164
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 4: being resilient, being gritty, have kind of climbed their way

165
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 4: back into not only playoff contention, but they may win

166
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 4: the AFC East based on the way the schedule breaks out.

167
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 4: This team changed their style and they changed their style

168
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 4: under Joe Burry, Joe Barry and Joe Brady, and it's

169
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 4: worked for them.

170
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 3: It's amazing, it really is.

171
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 2: I Mean, you got to look at the Buffalo Bills

172
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:45,679
Speaker 2: right now as a real sleeper possibility going to distance

173
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 2: and in the playoff situation, and I didn't think it

174
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 2: was that way three four weeks ago. But they're coming

175
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 2: now and they're getting together and another team that kind

176
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 2: of mirrors them that's having a late season success of

177
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 2: the Rams. They're putting it all together right now as well.

178
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, the Rams putting it together, but the Rams are

179
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 4: putting it together. And what I say is Sean mcvay's

180
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 4: best coaching job. I have my doubts about Sean McVay

181
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 4: coming back. I wondered if he kind of had it

182
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 4: in him to stick through terrific like what he's done

183
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 4: with this young team, getting them up and going, changing

184
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 4: the culture in the locker room in terms of like

185
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 4: they flipped out the whole squad, let's start study squad

186
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 4: that won the Super Bowl, there's no more.

187
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 5: They now have a bunch of young guys that are.

188
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 4: Kind of playing, and he's been able to, I would say,

189
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:33,440
Speaker 4: revive the team by still having the franchise quarterback but

190
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 4: leaning on these young guys in a retooled and revamped

191
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 4: running game. They're running the football with Cameron Williams game poking.

192
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 4: The Coop and Cooper Cup are carver copies of one another,

193
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,199
Speaker 4: so they're interchangeable weapons on the outside. And then a

194
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 4: young defense that Rahee Morris is doing a great job

195
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 4: of just kind of putting them in position to make plays.

196
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 4: They're doing it. I mean, this is a really tough

197
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 4: RAMS team, and because they can run the football the

198
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:01,079
Speaker 4: way they can team to deal with if they get

199
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:01,840
Speaker 4: into the postseason.

200
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 2: Okay, now that we talked about the NFL games that

201
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 2: were played yesterday, let's get into some real heavy duty business.

202
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 2: First of all, I hope you got the email that

203
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 2: I said to you earlier this week that finally your

204
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 2: coach Mac Brown wrote me back.

205
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 3: I sent you a copy of the little note that

206
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 3: he sent me. Okay, so we took care of that.

207
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 2: Then I see the story that Mac Brown, coach of

208
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 2: North Carolina where you played play for the tar Heels,

209
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 2: he was a little ticked off this week because the

210
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 2: football coach at NC State, Dave Duran, he called during

211
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 2: class list following that postgame video celebration which NC State

212
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:36,559
Speaker 2: used derogatory language to describe the tar Heels. It was

213
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 2: a dumb remark, he said. If he knew that the

214
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 2: camera was on, his language have been better. Really, I mean,

215
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:43,839
Speaker 2: come on, he said, and this was the coach of

216
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,559
Speaker 2: NC State said, it's been one four hundred and sixty

217
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:50,440
Speaker 2: days since those pieces of s beat us. I mean,

218
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 2: this is what he told his team, and this moron

219
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:55,199
Speaker 2: who's coaching NC State says, well, if the camera was on,

220
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 2: he wouldn't have done.

221
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:58,839
Speaker 3: It's not the camera, it's you, you fool. I mean,

222
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 3: it's unbelief.

223
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:03,079
Speaker 2: And I'm really glad that Mac Brown took this out

224
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:05,440
Speaker 2: and brought it out to the open, because I think

225
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:07,440
Speaker 2: this guy should be smacked around a little bit. And

226
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 2: they said that he called Mac and apologize either that

227
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:10,559
Speaker 2: doesn't mean that.

228
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 3: It doesn't mean squat he said it. He got caught

229
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:14,080
Speaker 3: and he's an idiot.

230
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 5: I mean he is.

231
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 4: But the reality, I understand Coach Brown being upset about it.

232
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:21,599
Speaker 4: You know, I'm Atar Hill. Coach Brown is one of

233
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 4: the most impactful people that I've had in my life.

234
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 5: But I will say this, if.

235
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 4: You don't want Dave Doran to talk about your team

236
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 4: like that, you have to find a way to be

237
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 4: in c State. And they haven't been stay in three years,

238
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 4: so Dave Dorn has the right to kind of say

239
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:38,320
Speaker 4: that in private to his team. Now, I would say, like,

240
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:40,719
Speaker 4: if that's inside and you feel like you got to call,

241
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 4: that's to come out, like that's a character flaw in

242
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 4: you to describe young people like that. But when you

243
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 4: win in a locker room, like sometimes language gets a

244
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 4: little spicy. And it got a little spicy. It's a

245
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:59,440
Speaker 4: reflection of NC States disdained from North Carolina and that

246
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 4: disdang has resulted in three wins in the last three matchups.

247
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:06,960
Speaker 4: And so if coach Brown doesn't want those guys to

248
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 4: talk like that at some point on the field, the target.

249
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:16,560
Speaker 3: You know, you bring up something very interesting.

250
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 2: And I know you've been around, you played for coaches,

251
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:20,440
Speaker 2: you played for high school, you played for college, played

252
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 2: in the pros in various teams, five years in the NFL,

253
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:25,960
Speaker 2: and I've been around locker rooms and whatever. But I

254
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 2: don't see coach mac Brown using that off color language.

255
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 2: I mean, there are a lot of coaches that do. I mean,

256
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:33,200
Speaker 2: they do it all the time. They do it in

257
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 2: news conferences. You know, is it a big deal as

258
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 2: far as the players concerned or the coaches field as

259
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 2: if they could relate better to their team to the players.

260
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 3: If they use that street talk. What's your take on that?

261
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 2: And some coaches that really are spicy when they use

262
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,840
Speaker 2: their language, and some coaches are, and I know Sam

263
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 2: Weisch was to some extent.

264
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 3: You know, I don't think Mac Brown.

265
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,680
Speaker 4: Is Yeah, no, Coach Brown, I would say, you didn't

266
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 4: played for him. Coach Brown not believe in a lot

267
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:04,720
Speaker 4: of cursing. He did not want his coaches to curse

268
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:09,080
Speaker 4: at the players. He just had a standard in terms

269
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 4: of just professional around the people. I've been around a

270
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 4: bunch of coaches that don't believe in cursing. A lot

271
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 4: of it is like their character and what they're about.

272
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:23,559
Speaker 4: And then there's some coaches that utter f bombs and

273
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 4: all that other stuff. I think, to each his own.

274
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:32,199
Speaker 4: To me, sometimes that language can be unnecessary. But like, look, man,

275
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:34,439
Speaker 4: people curse, people don't curse or whatever. I just think

276
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:36,839
Speaker 4: you just have to be very very careful when you're

277
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 4: coaching young people the language that you use, and I

278
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 4: think trying to convey like as the adult, as the

279
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 4: coach who's supposed to be a mentor and a role

280
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 4: model or whatever, like you're trying to model the behavior

281
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 4: that you want your players to emulate. And so I

282
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:57,959
Speaker 4: think he would say, look, man, just do the right

283
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 4: things and if you can find a substitute word, find that. Sometimes, look,

284
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 4: you utter a bad word, but it shouldn't be to

285
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 4: the point where every other word is a bad word.

286
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 5: The language needs to be.

287
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:14,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's crazy.

288
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 4: Really no.

289
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:17,720
Speaker 2: Look, I know Tony Dungee probably never uttered a bad word.

290
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 2: Marvel Leey used to coach the Buffalo Bills. I think

291
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 2: that he was one of those gentlemen as well. But

292
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:24,679
Speaker 2: you know, you watch The Hard Knocks on TV on

293
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:27,440
Speaker 2: HBO and you see coach Sala of the of the Jets.

294
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 2: I mean every other word was was an F bomb.

295
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:32,719
Speaker 2: And honestly, you know, I could see it to some

296
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 2: extent in the privacy of the clubhouse, locker room, meeting rooms,

297
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:40,200
Speaker 2: whatever it may be. But to go on national television,

298
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 2: I just drop those words. I don't think it's a

299
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:45,560
Speaker 2: good look. I just don't think it is. I'm not approved,

300
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:47,680
Speaker 2: I'm really not. But I just think that you don't

301
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 2: want to see that on national television.

302
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 3: Keep it behind closed doors.

303
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:55,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, No, I mean, I just think it's just about

304
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 4: representing the program and whatever that is. Like, you're trying

305
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 4: to represent the program in the best possible light, and

306
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:05,959
Speaker 4: your language is everything and how you perceived and how

307
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 4: you communicate with your players, particularly when you have cameras

308
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:12,320
Speaker 4: in the locker room and all of those things. And

309
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 4: I get the fired up part of the speech, and

310
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 4: and and those things, but in general, in your day

311
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 4: to day, if you can, you kind of want to

312
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 4: coach your team like you would treat your kids. And

313
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 4: I don't know, if you're gonna curse at your kids,

314
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 4: I think that's kind of weird. But if you know,

315
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 4: if if it's gonna be a situation like that, I

316
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 4: think every parent wants a coach that's going to treat

317
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 4: their kid as if he's their own, and you know,

318
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 4: you just kind of go about it that way.

319
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 3: You're exactly right. He's Bucky Brooks.

357
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 2: back to the football, and we've got the Colts of

358
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 2: the foul Because what about these Colts Bucky Brooks.

359
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 3: What a run with.

360
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 2: Their backup the year of the backup quarterback in the NFL,

361
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 2: Gardner Minshew, the man with the mustache. They've won five

362
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:42,680
Speaker 2: of their last six. And as far as rushing the football,

363
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 2: last week, the Colts rushed for one hundred and seven

364
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 2: of the yards. Jonathan Taylor had the thumb deal, he

365
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 2: was out, Zach Moss missed most of the game, and

366
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 2: they're still rushing the football. I'm really surprised with this

367
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 2: Colts team.

368
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, Shane Steikin has done a wonderful job with this team,

369
00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 4: done a fantastic job. They run the football, they run

370
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 4: the football effective. They have a great identity in terms

371
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 4: of now being a physical team on offense, a team

372
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:09,200
Speaker 4: that turns you over on defense. And they have done

373
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 4: it while managing Garner Minshew for all of the things

374
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:16,960
Speaker 4: that people talk about with government. People love his flamboyance.

375
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 4: They have done a good job of kind of keeping

376
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 4: them on a pitch count, not asking them to throw

377
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:23,200
Speaker 4: the ball more than thirty times, doing a good job

378
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 4: of setting him up for success, and he's He's responded

379
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 4: by taking care of the football and keeping the team

380
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 4: in a situation where they can win games. And as

381
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 4: long as they do that, they're tough out. But their

382
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:36,199
Speaker 4: stretch run gets a little dice because now they have

383
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 4: to take on like the Texans, they have to finish

384
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 4: it off to see if they can get into the postseason.

385
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 4: But I don't think anybody expected them to be it

386
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 4: this for playoff considerations.

387
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:49,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you look at a team like the Falcons,

388
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 2: I mean they're playing yoyos with their quarterbacks. Desmond Ritter

389
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 2: is not going to play today. I guess they're finished

390
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:58,440
Speaker 2: with the Desmond Ritter experiment. They've gone Tyler Heyneke, and

391
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 2: I think his quarterback in today. So I don't think

392
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 2: a team could win when you kind of alternate quarterbacks

393
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:04,760
Speaker 2: every single week.

394
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 3: You just can't do it well.

395
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:09,720
Speaker 4: It's hard to cat, it's hard to have a flow

396
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:13,400
Speaker 4: in a rhythm, and the way that the league operates

397
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:17,280
Speaker 4: your backup cool mean, he snaps in practice, and so

398
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 4: when you're playing two quarterbacks, it's hard to kind of

399
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:23,959
Speaker 4: divvy up the practice reps to get the starter ready.

400
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 4: I understand that Arthur Smith is feeling that he hasn't

401
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 4: had good production from consistent production from Desmond Ritter Tyla

402
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:34,480
Speaker 4: Heineke has been streaky. In essence, the quarterback play has

403
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:38,120
Speaker 4: not been good enough for the Falcons anyway. So he's

404
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 4: just trying to figure out trying to figure out who

405
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 4: can give him a chance to win a game. They

406
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 4: just desperately need to win.

407
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 2: A game, right, And here's the million dollar question for

408
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:48,159
Speaker 2: Bucket Brooks in sports as a whole, In specific, the

409
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 2: National Football League coaches always talk about death. They even

410
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:57,600
Speaker 2: have a depth chart. Okay, they're so concerned with backup positions, linebacker, safety,

411
00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 2: whatever it may be. There's always depth in that position.

412
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 2: Accept the quarterback position, which is, in fact is the

413
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 2: most important position on the club. How come they're not

414
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:08,680
Speaker 2: concern with depth in the quarterback position.

415
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 4: You know, it's such a weird thing when it comes

416
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:16,879
Speaker 4: to you know, football, that it's that quarterback is the

417
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 4: most important position in football, but we don't pull a

418
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 4: lot of resources into that position, and when we do,

419
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 4: there are people that routinely chastise teams. So, for instance,

420
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 4: the San Francisco forty nine ers drafted Trade Lance with

421
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:33,639
Speaker 4: the third overall pick. They came back later and drafted

422
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:37,399
Speaker 4: Brock Parity, they signed Sam Darnold, and at one point

423
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:40,399
Speaker 4: everyone was upset, but for the amount of money that

424
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:43,880
Speaker 4: they did collectively, those three players didn't even there half

425
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:47,639
Speaker 4: of what a But by having the depth to be

426
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 4: able to navigate the waters, they eventually able to find

427
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:53,160
Speaker 4: that quarterback. Brock Party a seventh round pick, and they've

428
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,920
Speaker 4: been able to go. But we have seen in other

429
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:59,120
Speaker 4: situations where if you don't have a good number two,

430
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:01,560
Speaker 4: you can't win in this league. You better have two

431
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 4: good quarterbacks to be able to function. Your backup quarterback

432
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:07,399
Speaker 4: needs to be able to come in and help you

433
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 4: win a game, because if you don't have a backup

434
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:16,439
Speaker 4: quarterback when your starter inevitably gets hurt, look man, and

435
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:19,639
Speaker 4: as a team build, it looks your responsibility to make

436
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:21,160
Speaker 4: sure that you try and head off some of those

437
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 4: problems before they get to you. You gotta spend time,

438
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:26,360
Speaker 4: you got to devote the resources defined in a backup quarterback.

439
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:29,879
Speaker 2: You're exactly right, and today the Seahawks are the Tennessee Titans,

440
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 2: and the Titans will have not only that backup quarterback playing.

441
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:35,960
Speaker 2: He basically was their starting quarterback at times. Ryan Tannehill's

442
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 2: gonna played Letus will Levis is injured, So Seahawks are

443
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:39,200
Speaker 2: Titans today.

444
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:40,200
Speaker 3: I don't know what that means.

445
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 2: But what about another backup quarterback, Seattle's Drew Locke. He

446
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:46,680
Speaker 2: gets his first win in three years when they beat

447
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 2: the Eagles twenty seventeen last week. And look the coach

448
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 2: of the Seahawks, Pete Carroll, which I think that he

449
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 2: should be getting some consideration really for Coach of the

450
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:56,680
Speaker 2: Year because this team I thought was going nowhere.

451
00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:57,439
Speaker 3: Although they're only.

452
00:20:57,280 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 2: Seven and seven, he's a perfect eight and no against

453
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:00,680
Speaker 2: the philadel healthy Eagles.

454
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 3: It's amazing, it really is.

455
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, it is amazing how some coaches just match it

456
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 4: will against other franchises.

457
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 2: I can't believe that he really and you know, they

458
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 2: don't get much respect, the Seahawks. I mean, I don't

459
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:14,360
Speaker 2: think anybody expected much from them, but they eke out

460
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:16,959
Speaker 2: seven wins in fourteen games. Thus farther see, I think

461
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:19,639
Speaker 2: it's a hell of a deal for the Seahawks and

462
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 2: for Pete Carroll himself. But the Titans lost an overtime

463
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 2: heartbreaker last week lost to the Texas nineteen sixteen. They

464
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:28,240
Speaker 2: are out of the playoffs right now. And I guess

465
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 2: Mike Rabel is going to be perhaps as rumored to

466
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:33,440
Speaker 2: be the next coach of the New England Patriots.

467
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:36,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know. I don't know about that one,

468
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:39,120
Speaker 4: you know, because if I'm like Vabel, I've already established

469
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 4: myself in Tennessee. Why would I want to leave my

470
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:44,240
Speaker 4: curious situation in Tennessee to go to New England and

471
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 4: kind of great a legend, you know, Say what you

472
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:50,879
Speaker 4: want about Bill Belichick. He's a legend, He's a legendarycho

473
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 4: he has six Super Bowl rings. No one's done that.

474
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:58,600
Speaker 4: Why would I want to put that undue pressure on myself. Secondly,

475
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 4: they already have a guy in house that might be

476
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:04,640
Speaker 4: a viable candidate in Draw Mayo. Draw Mayo turned down

477
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 4: head coaching interviews last year, won with the Carolina Panthers

478
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:11,160
Speaker 4: to stay there sign a reworked contract. So maybe there's

479
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:16,440
Speaker 4: already a succession plan in place in New England outside

480
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 4: the build, right, And.

481
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:21,160
Speaker 2: You look at this game today, Seahawks Titans. I would

482
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:23,679
Speaker 2: say Seahawks would be the team to win, But I

483
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:28,359
Speaker 2: think everything is hinging upon what's happening right now with

484
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 2: the quarterback situation. But I still think the Seahawks are

485
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:33,480
Speaker 2: a better ball club right now, and you would know

486
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 2: there's better than most the fact that the Titans are

487
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:38,720
Speaker 2: out of the playoffs. The players, I think they feel

488
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:40,119
Speaker 2: they have nothing to play for it. Do you think

489
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:41,160
Speaker 2: they let up a little bit?

490
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 4: No, I think there's a some guys revel in the

491
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 4: opportunity to be the spoiler because no matter what happens,

492
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:53,960
Speaker 4: whether your teams in the playoffs or not, you're always

493
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:56,720
Speaker 4: evaluated on tape, and so if you mail it in

494
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:59,959
Speaker 4: these last three games, it looks it's going to be

495
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:01,879
Speaker 4: all tape. It's going to go on your file, and

496
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 4: teams make decisions based on what they see on the field,

497
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 4: and so if you don't play well, it's gonna work

498
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:11,800
Speaker 4: against you. So regardless of what's his state, what's that

499
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:14,000
Speaker 4: of state, you have to play at a high level

500
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 4: to telfishly, you want to play at a high level.

501
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:19,119
Speaker 4: So you put yourself in a situation where you can

502
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 4: be on the team going forward.

503
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:22,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just think the Seahawks are a better team

504
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 2: right now. They have more weapons. I think the Seahawks

505
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:26,359
Speaker 2: do win this game today, but one of those games

506
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:29,359
Speaker 2: that really don't mean much for either club. It really doesn't,

507
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 2: but certainly for the Tennessee Times, it means a lot

508
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:33,160
Speaker 2: less not going anywhere.

509
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 3: He's Bucky Brooks.

510
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 2: I'm many Firmerwe have Fox Football Sunday on Fox Sports

511
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:40,720
Speaker 2: Radio coming up next on Fox Live from the Tyraq

512
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:45,040
Speaker 2: dot com studios. This team could have a franchise first

513
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 2: with a win today. But first now, let's talk to

514
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:50,360
Speaker 2: Kevin Wyatt with all your sports.

515
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:54,520
Speaker 8: NFL doubleheader action on Saturday really shook up the AFC

516
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 8: playoff standings. The Bills hold off the Chargers twenty four

517
00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 8: to twenty two, as Buffalo improves tonight and six on

518
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:03,919
Speaker 8: the season, and they now occupy the number six position

519
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:07,719
Speaker 8: in the AFC playoff standings. That's largely because the Steelers

520
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:10,159
Speaker 8: able to beat the Bengals earlier on Saturday thirty four

521
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:13,640
Speaker 8: to eleven. That loss drops Cincinnati from the number six

522
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 8: spot all the way down to number ten, while the

523
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 8: Steelers leapfrog them to number nine. So the AFC playoff

524
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:23,680
Speaker 8: race really tightening up as we have Sunday Monday plus

525
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 8: two more weeks left to go. In the regular season.

526
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:30,159
Speaker 8: As for Sunday Slate of Action, Adam Schefter with some

527
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 8: late night updates. He says that player is making it

528
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 8: back from injury who are expected to play Sunday include

529
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:39,880
Speaker 8: Gino Smith, Trevor Lawrence, Jonathan Taylor, and Devon a Chan.

530
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:43,440
Speaker 8: He also says that Texans wide receiver Nico Collins is

531
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:46,480
Speaker 8: expected to play against the Browns. He's listed as questionable

532
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:50,119
Speaker 8: due to his calf injury. The Dolphins are optimistic that

533
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:53,919
Speaker 8: wide receiver Tyreek Hill will play against the Cowboys, are

534
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:56,160
Speaker 8: said to just want to make sure how he's feeling

535
00:24:56,240 --> 00:25:00,639
Speaker 8: Sunday before making a final decision on his game status.

536
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:04,280
Speaker 8: And Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker is expected to play

537
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:09,600
Speaker 8: against the Tennessee Titans. He is questionable with a shoulder injury.

538
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 8: Back to you guys, thank you, Kevsey.

539
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 2: In about an hour now, they have fewer touchdowns, fewer yards,

540
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:18,639
Speaker 2: and fewer first downs than any other offense. Will tell

541
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:20,720
Speaker 2: you who they are in just about a minute. He's

542
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:22,560
Speaker 2: Bucky Brooks and Andy Fermer. Think out that we are

Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio and of course the iHeartRadio wapp.

551
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 3: But we have asked Bucky in about seven eight minutes

552
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:53,399
Speaker 3: right now.

553
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:56,480
Speaker 2: But now we'll talk about the Detroit Lions and the

554
00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:58,320
Speaker 2: Minnesota Vikings at Minnesota today.

555
00:25:58,359 --> 00:25:59,880
Speaker 3: And the screwy schedule right.

556
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 2: Now now has these two teams meeting again on the

557
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:04,800
Speaker 2: seventh of January, that I don't like.

558
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 3: I think they got to do something better with the schedules,

559
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:07,720
Speaker 3: don't you think, Buck?

560
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:12,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, But what the league wants and what they've always wanted,

561
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 4: is they want in December to individual games with playoff

562
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:21,719
Speaker 4: implications draw a lot of interest, and so they've always

563
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:24,920
Speaker 4: backloaded the schedule with a bunch of division games. I

564
00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:27,440
Speaker 4: don't like playing the same team twice in three weeks.

565
00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:30,320
Speaker 4: I feel like you could space it out a little better.

566
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:32,080
Speaker 4: But what they're trying to do is to make sure

567
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:34,920
Speaker 4: that in the month of December and early January you

568
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:38,560
Speaker 4: have meaningful games within the division, because that should bring

569
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:43,200
Speaker 4: about more interests. What the twenty nine teams that still

570
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:47,040
Speaker 4: have playoff as rats the two or three teams have

571
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:49,960
Speaker 4: beneficially eliminated. It gives them an opportunity to kind of

572
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:52,160
Speaker 4: sell the competitive aspect of the game.

573
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:55,119
Speaker 2: And I think it also prevents these teams who have

574
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:58,520
Speaker 2: clinched in years past from resting players. Now you have

575
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:01,080
Speaker 2: to play a number one guy, because these games means

576
00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 2: something down the stretch.

577
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, you want everyone to have to play there guys.

578
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:07,440
Speaker 4: You don't want guys that are just you know, load

579
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:10,159
Speaker 4: management or anything like that. These games matter, and so

580
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:12,159
Speaker 4: that's why they wanted all the games with significance at

581
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 4: the end of the schedule. There you go.

582
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:16,440
Speaker 2: Now, if the Lions win today, they clinched the NFC North.

583
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:19,359
Speaker 2: Get this for the first time in team history. Lions

584
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:22,440
Speaker 2: last one division title. Back then, nineteen sixty three, you

585
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 2: weren't even born yet, Bucket. I don't think were you No.

586
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:28,720
Speaker 2: Sixty Before they were the NFC, they were in the

587
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:31,000
Speaker 2: NFC Central at that time. The Lions are on the

588
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:33,800
Speaker 2: road today. Look, I got to ask what happened to

589
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:36,680
Speaker 2: Nick Mullins. Minnesota lost less week twenty seven to twenty

590
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:40,200
Speaker 2: four in overtime to the Bengals. Again, they're switching quarterbacks,

591
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 2: Nick Mullins. I don't even know whose quarterback from Minnesota today,

592
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 2: So we'll see what happens. But the Jared Goff back

593
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:49,240
Speaker 2: on key right now. He throws for five touchdowns last

594
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 2: week and that forty two seventeen went over Denver and Vikings.

595
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:58,200
Speaker 2: Right now, turnovers are killing him. Have week sixteen, going

596
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:01,320
Speaker 2: into week sixteen, they've had what these six turnovers as

597
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:04,200
Speaker 2: a team can't do it. You don't expect pros to

598
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:06,600
Speaker 2: have turnovers like that, but you know it happens. But

599
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 2: it's just sloppy football. And that's the way they're playing

600
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 2: sloppy football. And that's why the record right now is

601
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:14,560
Speaker 2: seven and seven, which really and truly they could have

602
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:17,119
Speaker 2: easily had double digit wins if they cleaned up some

603
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 2: of that mess.

604
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:21,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, the turnovers are killers, and the turnovers are the

605
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 4: biggest deciding factor in games. I think the stats will

606
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 4: tell you that if you're you plus one in the

607
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:31,160
Speaker 4: turnover battle, you win sixty four percent in your game

608
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:34,200
Speaker 4: plus two, it's about seventy two plus three goes over

609
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 4: ninety percent your chances of winning. And so if you

610
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:39,160
Speaker 4: just take care of the football, it gives you a

611
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:42,000
Speaker 4: great opportunity to win. Conversely, if you give it away,

612
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 4: more than likely you're going to lose. And the number

613
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:49,240
Speaker 4: about just how they're giving the ball to the other team.

614
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:52,680
Speaker 4: It's not a surprise that they've had ups and downs

615
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:55,480
Speaker 4: throughout the year and Nick Mullins and before that it

616
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:58,800
Speaker 4: was Joshua Dobbs. They just didn't take care of the ball.

617
00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:02,680
Speaker 4: And what you're saying, that's the difference when the twos

618
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:04,840
Speaker 4: and threes go to quarterback as opposed to having your

619
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:05,960
Speaker 4: starter in Kirk Cousins.

620
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:09,560
Speaker 2: You know, you talk about turnovers. I get interceptions of turnovers,

621
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:12,360
Speaker 2: fumbles of turnovers, drop passes. You know what, I watched

622
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:14,920
Speaker 2: that Bengal game thissday, going back to that game against Pittsburgh,

623
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 2: they had a situation was fourth.

624
00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:19,320
Speaker 3: And one, like on the two yard line, and I

625
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:19,920
Speaker 3: don't know why.

626
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:21,960
Speaker 2: Zach Taylor called for a pass play where there should

627
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 2: have been a quarterback sneak who just run the football

628
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,280
Speaker 2: give it to Joe Mixon. But they didn't make the

629
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:28,800
Speaker 2: fourth and one fourth in inches, Actually they didn't make it.

630
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 2: To me, in my heart of hearts, that's a turnover.

631
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:33,280
Speaker 2: That's a turnover because it would have been first in

632
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:35,480
Speaker 2: goal and they would have walked into the end zone.

633
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:37,800
Speaker 2: Why he goes to the past. Sometimes these coaches get

634
00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:40,000
Speaker 2: a little too cute. But you talk about turnovers. In

635
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:42,240
Speaker 2: my mind, that's a turnover when you give up the

636
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:43,440
Speaker 2: poll especially right.

637
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:48,960
Speaker 4: Yes, some people would wrong in that assessment. You turn

638
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 4: the ball over and downs it doesn't officially count as

639
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:53,840
Speaker 4: a turnover on the stat sheet, But yeah, that's a turnover.

640
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:56,400
Speaker 4: You gave the ball away without any gonna kick.

641
00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:59,160
Speaker 2: It's a turnover, Thank you very much. Okay, we agree

642
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:01,480
Speaker 2: on that. Commander's at the Jets. This one of those games.

643
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:03,560
Speaker 2: My good friend Mike North would say, if it was

644
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:06,600
Speaker 2: in my backyard, I closed the drapes. Really, commanders are Jets.

645
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 2: I mean, I think this game is more important for

646
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:10,680
Speaker 2: the coaches. They're probably playing for their life.

647
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:11,440
Speaker 3: They really are.

648
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:13,800
Speaker 2: Right now, the running backs to Antonio Gibson and Chris

649
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 2: Rodriguez Junior, or the commanders let him run, Let him run,

650
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 2: because the Jets defense right now are struggling.

651
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:20,560
Speaker 3: They're not getting it done.

652
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:23,440
Speaker 2: The Jets, they're rotating quarterbacks and again, and we mentioned

653
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:25,360
Speaker 2: that early on. I don't know how you win like that.

654
00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:27,720
Speaker 2: Last week the Jets lost thirty zip to the Dolphins.

655
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:30,520
Speaker 2: The Jets basically have no offense and the defense.

656
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:31,040
Speaker 3: Is hurting right now.

657
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:35,040
Speaker 2: Look, it's one of those games. He just didn't want

658
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:36,840
Speaker 2: to watch. I'd rather watch an old movie. But the

659
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 2: Commanders probably win this game. Not by a lot, but

660
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:40,760
Speaker 2: I think the Commanders will win this game.

661
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:43,440
Speaker 4: Yeah. The only thing that we've seen is teams that

662
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:47,480
Speaker 4: get embarrassed one week. Next week, think about how the

663
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:49,880
Speaker 4: Chargers played last night against the Buffalo Bills after being

664
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 4: embarrassed on Thursday night. I guess the Las Vegas Raiders

665
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:57,280
Speaker 4: the week ago. Think about how the Pittsburgh steel has

666
00:30:57,320 --> 00:31:00,240
Speaker 4: responded after being kind of lamb based all week for

667
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:02,280
Speaker 4: their efforts against the end and Aficis goals, and how

668
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:04,600
Speaker 4: they played against Cincinnati Bengals. I would say that I

669
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 4: expect the Jets to play much better coming off of

670
00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:12,360
Speaker 4: that embarrassing thirty zero loss to the Miami Dolphins. I'll

671
00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:17,160
Speaker 4: lean towards them over the Commanders. Like a talent or

672
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:19,360
Speaker 4: the struggles that they have on offense. I think there

673
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:20,880
Speaker 4: are more talented team than the Commanders.

674
00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:23,880
Speaker 2: Okay, let me run this by I am sure throughout

675
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:27,000
Speaker 2: you have five year NFL career, you got blanked a

676
00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:30,440
Speaker 2: couple of times and you're embarrassed and the team got drubbed,

677
00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:33,280
Speaker 2: you know, by a thirty zip just one of those games,

678
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:36,080
Speaker 2: like you don't even want to talk about, however, what

679
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:38,320
Speaker 2: you truly embarrassed to the guys go out where they

680
00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:40,080
Speaker 2: embarrass what they still go out and have a couple

681
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:41,520
Speaker 2: of beers after the game, and it's like one of

682
00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:43,760
Speaker 2: those deals like bed day at the office, we move on.

683
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:46,960
Speaker 3: Do they really hold their head down and get that

684
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:48,160
Speaker 3: embarrassed that they care?

685
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:53,240
Speaker 4: I mean, I think they care initially they care on

686
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:56,840
Speaker 4: the field, but then at the end of the day,

687
00:31:56,960 --> 00:32:00,680
Speaker 4: the game's over, you get away from me with your family,

688
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:03,560
Speaker 4: you get with your boys. You may pop a couple

689
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:08,000
Speaker 4: sodas or adult beverages afterwards and kind of decompress, and

690
00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:11,840
Speaker 4: then you go about it. As much as fans would

691
00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 4: love players to kind of carry with them like the

692
00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:19,280
Speaker 4: fans do the players due to a certain extent during

693
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:22,440
Speaker 4: the regular season, it's not until the postseason that you

694
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:26,640
Speaker 4: see players really punched in the gut with the losses,

695
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:30,480
Speaker 4: because those losses are the enders, like there's a finality

696
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:35,440
Speaker 4: to those losses. Regular season losses don't impact players as much.

697
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:38,840
Speaker 4: You're disappointed, but it doesn't have that emotional tug on

698
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:43,320
Speaker 4: you like an end of season playoff loss where it's over.

699
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:46,560
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, you're right, And at the end of the

700
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:49,000
Speaker 2: season playoffs, there's a good chance that some guy who

701
00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:50,960
Speaker 2: has a locker right next to you ares may not

702
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:52,560
Speaker 2: be there next year. You may not be there next

703
00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:54,760
Speaker 2: year because not only is it over, it's the end.

704
00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:56,640
Speaker 2: You won't see that until training camp, and you may

705
00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:58,040
Speaker 2: not see them at all. They may be in another

706
00:32:58,120 --> 00:32:58,960
Speaker 2: uniform next year.

707
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:03,400
Speaker 4: Yeah there, I mean, there's yeah, there's something too when

708
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:08,760
Speaker 4: it ends, how you feel about that part, and so yeah,

709
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:11,040
Speaker 4: it's a little different than those regular season.

710
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:12,760
Speaker 3: Losses, right, And there's a good chance you may not

711
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 3: see the coach there next year as well. That's true too.

712
00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:16,960
Speaker 4: That always.

713
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 2: Let me go back to that play yesterday with that

714
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:22,440
Speaker 2: Bengal game against the Stealers, fourth in inches and they

715
00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:24,400
Speaker 2: go for a pass play and obviously you know the

716
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:27,360
Speaker 2: field is compressed when you're that close to the goal line,

717
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:29,480
Speaker 2: so there's a good chance you want to run the football.

718
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:29,640
Speaker 3: Not pass it.

719
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:32,920
Speaker 2: But Zach Taylor decided to pass it. When that and

720
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:35,560
Speaker 2: the play bombed, it was a it was a terrible call.

721
00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:38,240
Speaker 2: But aren't there players when they go back in the huddle,

722
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:40,640
Speaker 2: when they're by themselves the why in the hell did

723
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:44,080
Speaker 2: he call that? I mean, is there second guessing by players?

724
00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:49,600
Speaker 4: Sometimes this stuff happens. You know, you're here.

725
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:52,880
Speaker 5: Guys in a huddle, like when they.

726
00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:54,000
Speaker 4: Come out of it, like, man, I don't know why

727
00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:57,760
Speaker 4: we call this play. I hate this play. But you know,

728
00:33:58,000 --> 00:33:59,720
Speaker 4: it just depends like there should be some buy in

729
00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:01,320
Speaker 4: and a lot of times, if you Zach Taylor, they

730
00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:03,400
Speaker 4: should be buying between you and the offensive players, the

731
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:05,760
Speaker 4: quarterback and then some of the skill players that are

732
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:09,960
Speaker 4: involved in it. Sometimes you solicit input from the offensive line.

733
00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:11,239
Speaker 4: What do they like to do? What do you want

734
00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:16,799
Speaker 4: to run? Those things? But yeah, like human nature, when

735
00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:20,279
Speaker 4: players don't go the way they're supposed to based on

736
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:22,920
Speaker 4: how you drew them up, how they were diagrammed, Yeah,

737
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:26,040
Speaker 4: there's a little doubt and with that doubt comes criticism

738
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:29,279
Speaker 4: and critiques and all that other stuff.

739
00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:31,919
Speaker 2: You see in my mind, and look again, the next

740
00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:33,840
Speaker 2: time I play a football game of the National Football

741
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:34,960
Speaker 2: League will be my first.

742
00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:35,960
Speaker 3: In my mind.

743
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:39,279
Speaker 2: When you have to pass on fourth and inches by

744
00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:43,360
Speaker 2: the goal line, you're conceding that you can't run against

745
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:46,080
Speaker 2: that team. And obviously they couldn't run against Steelers yesterday.

746
00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:48,040
Speaker 2: They couldn't run against them the first time they played them.

747
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:50,360
Speaker 2: So I think that puts a little more confidence in

748
00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:54,040
Speaker 2: the Pittsburgh Steelers' mind, like, hey, they're passing the football.

749
00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:55,040
Speaker 3: They can't run against us.

750
00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:57,960
Speaker 2: I think it was a bad call all the way around,

751
00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:01,239
Speaker 2: giving extra confidence to the steel knowing that, hey, they

752
00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:04,000
Speaker 2: can't run against us, and b you just don't pass

753
00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:06,040
Speaker 2: the ball when you're fourth in inches, you don't do it.

754
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:09,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean there's something today. If you can't physically

755
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:11,479
Speaker 4: line up and get ayr, it speaks about your team,

756
00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:12,920

00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:15,520
Speaker 2: game because a lot of players right now was sitting out.

778
00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:22,200
Speaker 4: No, but that wasn't even consideration back then. You played

779
00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:25,279
Speaker 4: your whole college career. They go to the best bowl

780
00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:27,319
Speaker 4: that you could possibly get to. And so for us

781
00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:30,080
Speaker 4: at North Carolina when I got there, we uh but

782
00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:32,800
Speaker 4: one in ten my freshman year to then go to

783
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:33,359
Speaker 4: a bowl game.

784
00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:35,319
Speaker 5: My senior year went to the Peach Bowl.

785
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:36,960
Speaker 4: That was a big deal. So there's no way I

786
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:37,839
Speaker 4: would have said that one out.

787
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:40,319
Speaker 3: What kind of merchandise you get? The kind of merch

788
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:41,560
Speaker 3: s I don't know.

789
00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:43,799
Speaker 4: I just remember getting everything was just about the bowl,

790
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:46,200
Speaker 4: the bowl ring. Like coach Brown did a really good job.

791
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:49,480
Speaker 4: I played Misissippi State, we beat them, nature means had

792
00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:51,719
Speaker 4: a great day. And then I just remember the bowl rings.

793
00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:53,160
Speaker 4: That's all we talked about. Bowl rings.

794
00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:54,000
Speaker 3: There you go.

795
00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:57,239
Speaker 4: You still got it, right, Yeah, yeah, I'll still got

796
00:36:57,239 --> 00:36:58,400
Speaker 4: the Peach Bowl ring. There you go.

797
00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:01,279
Speaker 2: All right, now, bucket, if you a king, if you

798
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:05,520
Speaker 2: a king, what three changes would you make in college

799
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:07,160
Speaker 2: football or maybe in the NFL?

800
00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:09,680
Speaker 3: What would you do college football?

801
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:14,080
Speaker 4: I would make the top level have a playoff system

802
00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:17,680
Speaker 4: just like the lower levels do. So, just like FCS

803
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:22,200
Speaker 4: has playoffs, I want the upper division. Yeah, I feel

804
00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:24,480
Speaker 4: like you should have a tournament to tournament who the

805
00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:26,120
Speaker 4: winner is. So that would be the number one thing.

806
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:28,279
Speaker 4: The second thing, I would just try and figure out

807
00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:32,399
Speaker 4: how to group all these power conferences together. So let's

808
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:36,279
Speaker 4: just say it's the Big twelve, acc SEC, Big ten.

809
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:38,800
Speaker 4: Those are the four power conferences. Split them up, do it.

810
00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:41,520
Speaker 4: All those other levels can go down and they play

811
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:44,000
Speaker 4: in their own tournament. So not only have a big tournament,

812
00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:46,360
Speaker 4: but have a big tournament for the big guys, but

813
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:47,680
Speaker 4: in a group of five, also have.

814
00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:49,600
Speaker 5: A tournament to determine those champions.

815
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:54,759
Speaker 4: And I just want to see more games, more big

816
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:57,239
Speaker 4: time games, more things early in the year. Have the

817
00:37:57,320 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 4: good teams play good and don't let it be such

818
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:02,560
Speaker 4: a deterrent in terms of a you lose a big

819
00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:05,400
Speaker 4: game early, it hurts you, like the Texas Alabama situation.

820
00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:09,399
Speaker 4: I want to encourage teams to play meaningful games early

821
00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:10,200
Speaker 4: in the season.

822
00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:12,239
Speaker 2: And what about the pass in deference rule? Would you

823
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:12,680
Speaker 2: change that.

824
00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:16,840
Speaker 4: In the NFL? I would change more to like the

825
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:21,440
Speaker 4: college game, because I think is too ticki tack. I

826
00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:23,800
Speaker 4: mean significant yards are giving up on that. If you

827
00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:25,560
Speaker 4: want to change it where it's a twenty five yard

828
00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:28,680
Speaker 4: penalty instead of a fifteen yard penalty or whatever. But

829
00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:33,759
Speaker 4: I just think sometimes the spot file on tiki tac things,

830
00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:34,320
Speaker 4: I don't like that.

831
00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:35,240
Speaker 5: It's a game changer.

832
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:36,640
Speaker 4: Dag gone with you on that.

833
00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:38,719
Speaker 2: Okay, Now, if you were starting an NFL team today,

834
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:40,799
Speaker 2: you are the personal guy at a general manager making

835
00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:41,399
Speaker 2: that first pick.

836
00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:43,960
Speaker 3: What player? Who would you be? Who would you pick?

837
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:45,120
Speaker 3: As your first pick.

838
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:51,760
Speaker 4: And why first peik would be Pat Mahomes quarterback.

839
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:54,799
Speaker 5: I'm gonna take the best quarterback and build it around there.

840
00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:59,879
Speaker 4: He's been phenomenal, two time, two time super Bowl winner.

841
00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:02,359
Speaker 4: I know that he can elevate the rest of the team,

842
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:05,719
Speaker 4: and as long as he's available, it gives us a chance.

843
00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:08,080
Speaker 4: I'm gonna take Pat Mahome. I think the next guy

844
00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:10,280
Speaker 4: that that would take surprisely, and this is me coming around.

845
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:12,120
Speaker 4: I think I might take Josh Allen.

846
00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:17,200
Speaker 3: Second, really any reason why, Just because I.

847
00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:19,839
Speaker 4: Just feel like, even though it's not always pretty with him,

848
00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:22,600
Speaker 4: there is something about his ability to put the team

849
00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:25,360
Speaker 4: on his back. He is a guy that kind of

850
00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:30,439
Speaker 4: ingratiates himself with his teammates, with his toughness, his grit. Yeah,

851
00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:32,719
Speaker 4: so that's who I wouldn't one of those two guys

852
00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:33,719
Speaker 4: to start my franchise with.

853
00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:36,480
Speaker 2: And more than that, I think that he's a durable guy.

854
00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:39,640
Speaker 2: Not like Matthew Stafford has hurt. I mean, he's fairly durable.

855
00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:41,439
Speaker 2: You don't see Josh Allen getting hurt that often.

856
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:44,839
Speaker 4: No, it's rare that you seem to get hurt all right.

857
00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:47,560
Speaker 4: I can't even remember him missing games.

858
00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:47,800
Speaker 6: I'm with you.

859
00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:50,640
Speaker 2: I mean, the guys, he's there every week. He may

860
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:53,160
Speaker 2: be sloppy at times, but at least he plays. He's there,

861
00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:56,200
Speaker 2: and in this year in the NFL, that's rarity with

862
00:39:56,280 --> 00:39:58,960
Speaker 2: a quarterback coach of the Year in the NFL.

863
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:01,160
Speaker 3: If you were to select one today, and.

864
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:03,799
Speaker 2: I'm gonna throw a name out there that his name

865
00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:06,279
Speaker 2: hasn't even been in the mix. John Harbaugh, the coach

866
00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:06,920
Speaker 2: of the Ravens.

867
00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:09,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, Harbor has been great.

868
00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:11,959
Speaker 5: Uh, the Ravens had a number one seed.

869
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:15,080
Speaker 4: They've been terrific. There's so many guys that I believe

870
00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:19,040
Speaker 4: have done a really really good job psyching Dimiko Ryans.

871
00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:22,839
Speaker 4: Those guys deserve vay for the work that he's done

872
00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:25,120
Speaker 4: with the La Rams. Nobody thought the Rams would be

873
00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:27,239
Speaker 4: in a situation to go to the postseason with this

874
00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:30,560
Speaker 4: mismash of roster. It has been his best coaching job

875
00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:31,520
Speaker 4: getting this team up and on.

876
00:40:32,040 --> 00:40:35,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, Demico Ryans, I mean, obviously, can you really pinpoint

877
00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:36,879
Speaker 2: and say he's made the difference there?

878
00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:40,840
Speaker 4: Yes, I mean I think he's made a major difference

879
00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:46,440
Speaker 4: with the culture, coaches everything there.

880
00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:51,319
Speaker 2: We go all right, all right, it's deja vu all

881

00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:33,960
Speaker 2: There you go, Buck, Okay, I got to ask you,

895
00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:37,160
Speaker 2: how has this happened? How the hell does this happen?

896
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:37,520
Speaker 4: Now?

897
00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:39,440
Speaker 2: Now I know you know about this, but you can

898
00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:42,440
Speaker 2: help me. New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick said that

899
00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:44,879
Speaker 2: the kicking football is using the first half of last

900
00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:48,000
Speaker 2: week's twenty seven to seventeen loss to the Kansas City

901
00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:51,360
Speaker 2: Chiefs were under deflated by two to two and a

902
00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:53,600
Speaker 2: half pounds, and then he goes and defers it to

903
00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:54,160
Speaker 2: the NFL.

904
00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:56,799
Speaker 3: Why that was the case he had obviously, he says,

905
00:41:56,840 --> 00:41:57,759
Speaker 3: we have nothing to do with it.

906
00:41:57,960 --> 00:41:59,960
Speaker 2: He says, there were miss field goals by Kansas City

907
00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:03,439
Speaker 2: Harrison Butler and New England Chad Ryland in the first half,

908
00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:06,799
Speaker 2: and you could see how the underdeflated football's affected the game.

909
00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:10,440
Speaker 2: How does this happen? How do you again involving the

910
00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:12,839
Speaker 2: New England pages, why is this happening and how does

911
00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:13,279
Speaker 2: it happen?

912
00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:17,080
Speaker 4: Well, I mean, look, I think before they said the

913
00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:21,000
Speaker 4: cold weather can impact the air pressure of the balls,

914
00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:23,880
Speaker 4: and so maybe it impacted the air pressure of the

915
00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:27,440
Speaker 4: footballs all over again on game day. They just weren't

916
00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:31,120
Speaker 4: able to make it happen, and so it is something

917
00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:32,840
Speaker 4: that the league has to be on top of. You

918
00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:35,759
Speaker 4: got to make sure exactly what you're doing with the

919
00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:37,440
Speaker 4: football is. You got to make sure that the balls,

920
00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:39,840
Speaker 4: the kicking balls are separate than the regular balls, and

921
00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:42,120
Speaker 4: you have to make sure that those balls are all

922
00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:48,000
Speaker 4: inflated up to the proper like the proper regulation, so

923
00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:49,600
Speaker 4: you can do it. I don't know, I don't know

924
00:42:49,640 --> 00:42:51,480
Speaker 4: how this happens. Someone is supposed to be checking all

925
00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:53,640
Speaker 4: of those things. I don't know how this happens and

926
00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:56,040
Speaker 4: how New England is always attached to do these things.

927
00:42:56,760 --> 00:42:58,480
Speaker 4: Maybe it's just to go away in Foxboro it's a

928
00:42:58,520 --> 00:42:59,640
Speaker 4: little different, yea.

929
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:02,800
Speaker 2: And the person who's filling the footballs with air? Is

930
00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:04,759
Speaker 2: that someone higher by the NFL? Or is that the

931
00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:07,000
Speaker 2: guy from the home team from Kansas City doing it?

932
00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:10,480
Speaker 4: Now? That part I don't know. I don't think there's

933
00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:13,880
Speaker 4: a special outsider that's brought in to handle the balls,

934
00:43:14,040 --> 00:43:16,200
Speaker 4: So I would say it's more likely that it's a homer.

935
00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:17,319
Speaker 4: But you can't quote me on.

936
00:43:17,880 --> 00:43:19,799
Speaker 3: Right, Okay, no big deal there now.

937
00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:22,200
Speaker 2: As always, I want to put a little spotlight on

938
00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:25,279
Speaker 2: Buckie Brooks because he writes for NFL dot com and

939
00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:28,279
Speaker 2: this week you're talking about big contracts and I was

940
00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:32,160
Speaker 2: very surprised, very surprised to see that you're putting Baker

941
00:43:32,239 --> 00:43:35,399
Speaker 2: Mayfield in that pile. Former number one pick and he's

942
00:43:35,480 --> 00:43:37,400
Speaker 2: kind of turned his career around right now with a

943
00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:40,319
Speaker 2: pretty good season in Tampa Bay. Got a one year deal.

944
00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:42,800
Speaker 2: He gambled this year, he really did. He played a

945
00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:45,680
Speaker 2: one year contract to prove it's worth four million dollars.

946
00:43:45,719 --> 00:43:47,719
Speaker 2: He's in the pros out for six years and you're

947
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:49,960
Speaker 2: saying that right now he's due for a big contract.

948
00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:52,120
Speaker 2: Then he might be the quarterback of the future for

949
00:43:52,200 --> 00:43:53,080
Speaker 2: the Tampa Bay Bucks.

950
00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:58,120
Speaker 4: He might be the quarterback of the future. And his look,

951
00:43:58,120 --> 00:44:01,799
Speaker 4: I was say, the reclamation project that the Buccaneers took

952
00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:05,920
Speaker 4: on with Baker Mayfield is very did with the Seattle Seahawks,

953
00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:09,239
Speaker 4: he settled in. He's in the Greek system that fits

954
00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:12,520
Speaker 4: his talent. He's become one of the guys in town.

955
00:44:12,880 --> 00:44:14,880
Speaker 4: People talk about him taking the lineman out and just

956
00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:19,360
Speaker 4: kind of hanging out with those those teammates. And maybe

957
00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:21,600
Speaker 4: after the kind of like the odyssey that he's been

958
00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:24,239
Speaker 4: on the last couple of years, maybe he's now fully

959
00:44:24,280 --> 00:44:28,160
Speaker 4: mature and kind of understands the league better in terms

960
00:44:28,160 --> 00:44:29,640
Speaker 4: of how you need to act, how you need to

961
00:44:29,680 --> 00:44:32,920
Speaker 4: be as a franchise quarterback. But he certainly has played

962
00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:35,520
Speaker 4: well on the field, and that leads me to believe

963
00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:39,320
Speaker 4: that the Bucks will pay him a big contract. I

964
00:44:39,360 --> 00:44:42,480
Speaker 4: don't think it'll be fifty million annually big, but I

965
00:44:42,520 --> 00:44:44,440
Speaker 4: think it'd be very similar to what Gino Smith was

966
00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:44,920
Speaker 4: able to get.

967
00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:46,960
Speaker 2: Right, and you look at a guy like Geno Smith

968
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:49,960
Speaker 2: who resurrected his career, and then Baker's looking to do

969
00:44:50,080 --> 00:44:51,719
Speaker 2: the same thing, and people are.

970
00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:54,160
Speaker 3: Gonna say, well, you know, I'd rather get somebody in

971
00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:54,560
Speaker 3: the draft.

972
00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:57,960
Speaker 2: I think that you better served by having a guy

973
00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:01,080
Speaker 2: who's been under center in the National Football League, knows

974
00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:03,800
Speaker 2: what it's all about in the NFL, rather than getting

975
00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:06,480
Speaker 2: an untested guy. I mean, really, look at these kids

976
00:45:06,560 --> 00:45:10,000
Speaker 2: that just been drafted. How many guys have been successes? Really,

977
00:45:10,040 --> 00:45:12,640
Speaker 2: I mean, right now in the NFL, Trevor Lawrence really

978
00:45:12,680 --> 00:45:14,640
Speaker 2: in that class may be the only one who's a

979
00:45:14,680 --> 00:45:17,640
Speaker 2: shining star. Other than that, you know, it's a crapshoot,

980
00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:20,160
Speaker 2: it really is. So you're better off having a guy

981
00:45:20,200 --> 00:45:22,160
Speaker 2: who's been there, done that in the league.

982
00:45:23,160 --> 00:45:25,680
Speaker 4: You are better off doing that. And you're right about

983
00:45:25,760 --> 00:45:28,640
Speaker 4: recent draft success. And I will say this, it's not

984
00:45:28,719 --> 00:45:31,360
Speaker 4: even a lock that Trevor Lawrence would be considered a

985
00:45:31,480 --> 00:45:35,480
Speaker 4: high end quarterback. I mean, and so in the last

986
00:45:35,560 --> 00:45:37,960
Speaker 4: three years at the top of the draft, I don't

987
00:45:38,040 --> 00:45:41,759
Speaker 4: know who we've gotten out of that that segment that

988
00:45:41,880 --> 00:45:44,719
Speaker 4: has been like a legit superstar from day one. We

989
00:45:44,840 --> 00:45:46,880
Speaker 4: haven't gotten one. And so teams do need to be

990
00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:49,759
Speaker 4: careful of. Hey man, we're gonna get the draft. We

991
00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:52,320
Speaker 4: can get Kater Williams or Drake may or whoever, and

992
00:45:52,360 --> 00:45:55,160
Speaker 4: they're gonna come in and change out franchise to odds

993
00:45:55,280 --> 00:45:58,600
Speaker 4: say no, they're not. You can be the same team

994
00:45:58,680 --> 00:46:00,680
Speaker 4: that you were before. There. You just got new quarterback

995
00:46:00,760 --> 00:46:01,239
Speaker 4: on the center.

996
00:46:01,719 --> 00:46:02,560
Speaker 3: You're exactly right.

997
00:46:02,600 --> 00:46:05,160
Speaker 2: Okay, speaking of quarterbacks, let's talk about the Green Bay

998
00:46:05,280 --> 00:46:07,920
Speaker 2: Packers are playing at the Carolina Panthers. Panthers are two

999
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:10,239
Speaker 2: and twelve right now, and they won last week. It

1000
00:46:10,280 --> 00:46:13,239
Speaker 2: looked like a baseball scorer nine to seven. They beat

1001
00:46:13,280 --> 00:46:16,160
Speaker 2: up on Atlanta. But green Bay right now coming off

1002
00:46:16,239 --> 00:46:20,279
Speaker 2: two horrendous losses, losing to the Giants at New York,

1003
00:46:20,520 --> 00:46:24,239
Speaker 2: losing to Tampa Bay last week, and for coach Matt

1004
00:46:24,320 --> 00:46:27,160
Speaker 2: Lafleur of the Green Bay Packers lost two games in

1005
00:46:27,239 --> 00:46:30,880
Speaker 2: a six day period and also its first career losses

1006
00:46:30,920 --> 00:46:33,040
Speaker 2: for him in the month of December. He won his

1007
00:46:33,200 --> 00:46:36,680
Speaker 2: first sixteen ball games in the month of December, and

1008
00:46:36,719 --> 00:46:39,239
Speaker 2: now he's lost his last two and then the last

1009
00:46:39,320 --> 00:46:41,680
Speaker 2: ten trips to the red zone. I checked this out

1010
00:46:41,719 --> 00:46:44,280
Speaker 2: for green Bay. The Packers have only scored four times.

1011
00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:46,120
Speaker 3: Not good. You're not going to get it done there.

1012
00:46:46,280 --> 00:46:49,240
Speaker 2: And they had a terrible defensive ball game against Baker

1013
00:46:49,320 --> 00:46:53,280
Speaker 2: Mayfield and against Tommy DeVito. So right now, the Packers,

1014
00:46:53,320 --> 00:46:55,239
Speaker 2: who maybe were making a run for it at one

1015
00:46:55,280 --> 00:46:57,719
Speaker 2: point in time three weeks ago, have fallen to six

1016
00:46:57,800 --> 00:47:00,240
Speaker 2: and eight and it looks like they'll be watching the playoffs.

1017
00:46:59,880 --> 00:47:05,200
Speaker 4: With you with me on TV. It's amazing how quickly

1018
00:47:05,320 --> 00:47:08,000
Speaker 4: things change. You know. Two weeks ago we were celebrating

1019
00:47:08,040 --> 00:47:09,880
Speaker 4: this team. They looked like they were the clear winners

1020
00:47:10,400 --> 00:47:12,640
Speaker 4: coming out of the Aaron Rodgers thing. Jordan Love is

1021
00:47:12,640 --> 00:47:15,160
Speaker 4: playing well. They then dropped one to the Giants. They

1022
00:47:15,200 --> 00:47:17,880
Speaker 4: get hammered by the Ten Bay Buccaneers, and now all

1023
00:47:17,920 --> 00:47:20,799
Speaker 4: the questions are about this team. Matt Lafleur I had

1024
00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:22,560
Speaker 4: questions about how good of a coach he could be

1025
00:47:22,719 --> 00:47:25,960
Speaker 4: without Aaron Rodgers. He surprised me early, but now they're

1026
00:47:26,040 --> 00:47:31,279
Speaker 4: back to underperforming. And then defensively, the biggest part is

1027
00:47:31,360 --> 00:47:34,680
Speaker 4: the defense has not played up. Talk about Joe Berry,

1028
00:47:34,719 --> 00:47:37,400
Speaker 4: the defensive coordinator. People think he's not aggressive enough. They

1029
00:47:37,800 --> 00:47:40,239
Speaker 4: sit back and zone and those things. But their top

1030
00:47:40,320 --> 00:47:44,040
Speaker 4: players have not played well. Jerry Alexander's been in and

1031
00:47:44,120 --> 00:47:46,680
Speaker 4: out the lineup with an injury. Don't know if he's

1032
00:47:46,680 --> 00:47:48,319
Speaker 4: ever gonna if he's gonna come back and be able

1033
00:47:48,360 --> 00:47:51,560
Speaker 4: to contribute. Devondre Campbell is dealt with his own injuries

1034
00:47:51,600 --> 00:47:53,600
Speaker 4: and those things. They haven't done it, and they haven't

1035
00:47:53,640 --> 00:47:56,080
Speaker 4: gotten a consistent production from the front line that they've

1036
00:47:56,080 --> 00:47:58,200
Speaker 4: been getting in the past. So it's a disappointing squad.

1037
00:47:58,200 --> 00:47:59,120
Speaker 4: It's disappointing year.

1038
00:47:59,040 --> 00:48:01,120
Speaker 3: For the pack about that. And you know, you're looking

1039
00:48:01,120 --> 00:48:01,640
Speaker 3: at the schedule.

1040
00:48:01,640 --> 00:48:03,399
Speaker 2: If you're a pack a fan, you kind of would

1041
00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:05,120
Speaker 2: chomping at the bit right now because you said, look,

1042
00:48:05,120 --> 00:48:07,080
Speaker 2: we've got three wins coming up in a row, Giants,

1043
00:48:07,160 --> 00:48:09,680
Speaker 2: Tampa Bay, and Carolina. I do think they're going to

1044
00:48:09,719 --> 00:48:12,520
Speaker 2: beat Carolina today, But right now, I think that the

1045
00:48:12,600 --> 00:48:15,279
Speaker 2: confidence has waived a little bitsiness this pack up ball

1046
00:48:15,360 --> 00:48:18,880
Speaker 2: club because you know, losing those two ball games and

1047
00:48:19,080 --> 00:48:20,320
Speaker 2: really it's terrible.

1048
00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:22,560
Speaker 3: I mean, you can't lose to.

1049
00:48:22,640 --> 00:48:24,960
Speaker 2: Tampa Bay and the Giants back to back, especially at

1050
00:48:25,040 --> 00:48:26,960
Speaker 2: home when they lost to Tampa Bay last week.

1051
00:48:28,239 --> 00:48:31,759
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, like you can't. Like that's the one thing

1052
00:48:31,840 --> 00:48:35,160
Speaker 4: that you hold for you seven to one point eight. No,

1053
00:48:35,280 --> 00:48:36,600
Speaker 4: when you play at home, and then if you can

1054
00:48:36,680 --> 00:48:38,800
Speaker 4: split your road games, it gives you a chance to

1055
00:48:38,840 --> 00:48:41,120
Speaker 4: have a nice record and possibly vie for the NFC

1056
00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:45,480
Speaker 4: the top seed. Them losing at home, that's unacceptable. You're

1057
00:48:45,480 --> 00:48:47,560
Speaker 4: not supposed to lose at Lambeau. But then it's the

1058
00:48:47,680 --> 00:48:50,439
Speaker 4: other stuff that I would say, not beating the teams

1059
00:48:50,480 --> 00:48:52,640
Speaker 4: that you're supposed to beat. You're supposed to beat a

1060
00:48:52,760 --> 00:48:54,719
Speaker 4: New York Giants team that's playing Tommy.

1061
00:48:54,520 --> 00:48:56,160
Speaker 5: DeVito at quarterback. You should beat them.

1062
00:48:56,600 --> 00:48:58,800
Speaker 4: They haven't done it, so they let some games slip

1063
00:48:59,280 --> 00:49:01,279
Speaker 4: through their fingers. Step at the end of the year,

1064
00:49:01,280 --> 00:49:02,600
Speaker 4: they got really wish they could.

1065
00:49:03,960 --> 00:49:07,680
Speaker 2: I'm going to make a proposal to the National Football

1066
00:49:07,760 --> 00:49:09,360
Speaker 2: League and I might put this in running a Senator

1067
00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:13,040
Speaker 2: Roger Goodell. I think, and maybe I'm crazy, that the

1068
00:49:13,200 --> 00:49:14,799
Speaker 2: NFL should take a page out of golf.

1069
00:49:15,080 --> 00:49:16,040
Speaker 3: And what do I mean by that?

1070
00:49:16,440 --> 00:49:18,640
Speaker 2: And golf, you have a handicap. You know, you play

1071
00:49:18,640 --> 00:49:20,359
Speaker 2: against somebody else and maybe better than you, you get

1072
00:49:20,400 --> 00:49:22,680
Speaker 2: a little bit of a handicap. Okay, Today the Packers

1073
00:49:22,719 --> 00:49:25,120
Speaker 2: are playing the Panthers, and the Panthers they need a handicap.

1074
00:49:25,200 --> 00:49:25,680
Speaker 4: So what do you do.

1075
00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:28,440
Speaker 3: I think the Panthers should play twelve against eleven. I

1076
00:49:28,560 --> 00:49:29,120
Speaker 3: really believe that.

1077
00:49:29,120 --> 00:49:31,640
Speaker 2: I think I think the National FOOTBA League should do

1078
00:49:31,640 --> 00:49:33,880
Speaker 2: things like that. The Panthers last week they won. In

1079
00:49:34,040 --> 00:49:36,760
Speaker 2: Week fifteen, they went they won nine to seven eggs Atlanta,

1080
00:49:37,120 --> 00:49:40,120
Speaker 2: but they were five to fifteen on third downs. They

1081
00:49:40,160 --> 00:49:43,040
Speaker 2: were owed for three scoring touchdowns inside the twenty yard line.

1082
00:49:43,160 --> 00:49:45,319
Speaker 2: They're a terrible football team. You got to give them

1083
00:49:45,320 --> 00:49:46,920
Speaker 2: a break. You want to make it even. I mean

1084
00:49:46,960 --> 00:49:49,280
Speaker 2: they make it even with the draft. I've always believed

1085
00:49:49,320 --> 00:49:51,440
Speaker 2: that the team that wins the Super Bowl should get

1086
00:49:51,440 --> 00:49:53,440
Speaker 2: the first draft pick. You should be rewarded, But they

1087
00:49:53,560 --> 00:49:55,480
Speaker 2: do it ask backwards. They give it to the worst

1088
00:49:55,480 --> 00:49:57,680
Speaker 2: football teamcause they want to make everything even. They want

1089
00:49:57,719 --> 00:49:59,799
Speaker 2: everybody to be on the same page, so they give

1090
00:49:59,840 --> 00:50:02,239
Speaker 2: the worst team the opportunity to get better. So if

1091
00:50:02,280 --> 00:50:04,480
Speaker 2: you want to make things even, get the Panthers, let

1092
00:50:04,520 --> 00:50:07,120
Speaker 2: them play twelve guys today against the Packers are eleven

1093
00:50:07,239 --> 00:50:09,279
Speaker 2: because the Panthers are a two and twelve ball club

1094
00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:10,680
Speaker 2: and you got to give them a break. So I

1095
00:50:10,800 --> 00:50:14,080
Speaker 2: say the NFL should have a handicap system. And if

1096
00:50:14,120 --> 00:50:15,920
Speaker 2: you don't believe me, you could call it an eight

1097
00:50:15,960 --> 00:50:18,400
Speaker 2: seven seven ninety nine on Fox and we could discuss it.

1098
00:50:18,600 --> 00:50:20,000
Speaker 3: What do you think about the handicap.

1099
00:50:20,600 --> 00:50:22,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't like the handicap. I don't like the

1100
00:50:22,160 --> 00:50:24,120
Speaker 4: twelve one eleven. I don't think that's fair. I like

1101
00:50:24,200 --> 00:50:26,640
Speaker 4: regards how bad the team is. Yeah, I think that's

1102
00:50:26,719 --> 00:50:28,560
Speaker 4: that we don't want to do that. Well.

1103
00:50:28,680 --> 00:50:31,719
Speaker 2: Sometimes players are Sometimes the coaches put twelve guys out there.

1104
00:50:31,760 --> 00:50:32,120
Speaker 4: Anyway.

1105
00:50:32,360 --> 00:50:33,160
Speaker 3: I've seen that that.

1106
00:50:33,280 --> 00:50:35,480
Speaker 2: I don't understand how a coach can't count twelve guys

1107
00:50:35,520 --> 00:50:36,719
Speaker 2: in the field. I know they don't get off in

1108
00:50:36,800 --> 00:50:39,239
Speaker 2: time sometimes, but still I've seen twelve guys sometimes in

1109
00:50:39,280 --> 00:50:39,680
Speaker 2: the huddle.

1110
00:50:39,840 --> 00:50:41,080
Speaker 3: It happens. I get it.

1111
00:50:41,840 --> 00:50:43,719
Speaker 4: It does happen. You don't want it to happen, but

1112
00:50:43,800 --> 00:50:46,479
Speaker 4: those are penalties that you control. You don't want to happen.

1113
00:50:46,600 --> 00:50:50,000
Speaker 2: Ever, Browns that Cleveland, but your team, your team, the

1114
00:50:50,040 --> 00:50:53,120
Speaker 2: Cleveland Browns. They're at the Texans today and I think

1115
00:50:53,160 --> 00:50:56,520
Speaker 2: the key to this game is whether quarterback CJ. Stroud

1116
00:50:56,560 --> 00:50:58,960
Speaker 2: with the concussion players or not. Have you heard anything

1117
00:50:59,040 --> 00:51:01,279
Speaker 2: right now? I mean it was a concussion protocol. Is

1118
00:51:01,280 --> 00:51:02,040
Speaker 2: he going to play today?

1119
00:51:02,080 --> 00:51:05,400
Speaker 4: I don't know. I don't know yet. Look, it's not

1120
00:51:05,600 --> 00:51:08,640
Speaker 4: looking great. He's still in protocol. He's been in protocol

1121
00:51:08,680 --> 00:51:12,200
Speaker 4: for a couple of weeks. That's an extended visit, so

1122
00:51:12,280 --> 00:51:14,520
Speaker 4: he's obviously having some setbacks if they have to go

1123
00:51:14,680 --> 00:51:17,360
Speaker 4: without him. We've seen Case Keenan win games, so I

1124
00:51:17,400 --> 00:51:21,799
Speaker 4: think there will a position to be okay regardless. But man,

1125
00:51:22,239 --> 00:51:24,640
Speaker 4: you would want to have your gatto. You want to

1126
00:51:24,680 --> 00:51:25,520
Speaker 4: have your gas if you could.

1127
00:51:25,920 --> 00:51:28,759
Speaker 2: And in Cleveland they're talking about building a statue right

1128
00:51:28,800 --> 00:51:29,560
Speaker 2: now for Joe Flacco.

1129
00:51:29,600 --> 00:51:31,720
Speaker 3: But wait, put the brakes on this for a second.

1130
00:51:32,120 --> 00:51:35,600
Speaker 2: Joe Flacco has thrown five interceptions in his three starts,

1131
00:51:35,920 --> 00:51:37,880
Speaker 2: so you know the fact that he's thrown two hundred

1132
00:51:37,920 --> 00:51:40,160
Speaker 2: plus games of yards and whatever it may be. And

1133
00:51:40,239 --> 00:51:42,440
Speaker 2: then they're winning and they're nine and five right now.

1134
00:51:42,680 --> 00:51:44,560
Speaker 2: You know, don't give Joe Flacco all the credit. They

1135
00:51:44,600 --> 00:51:47,239
Speaker 2: got a great defensive front and the Cleveland Browns, so

1136
00:51:47,520 --> 00:51:51,080
Speaker 2: the Texans the pressure. The Browns are down both their quarterbacks,

1137
00:51:51,120 --> 00:51:53,799
Speaker 2: they're down with their starting offensive tackle. They play without

1138
00:51:53,840 --> 00:51:55,879
Speaker 2: their starting set there last week, and they played without

1139
00:51:55,880 --> 00:51:58,000
Speaker 2: their left guard against the Bears. And the Bear should

1140
00:51:58,000 --> 00:52:00,120
Speaker 2: have won that game last week against the brown but

1141
00:52:00,200 --> 00:52:02,680
Speaker 2: they didn't. But I still think the Browns could get

1142
00:52:02,719 --> 00:52:05,000
Speaker 2: it by the Texas. But if CJ.

1143
00:52:05,160 --> 00:52:07,080
Speaker 3: Stroud plays, I'm taking the Texans.

1144
00:52:08,920 --> 00:52:09,480
Speaker 5: I can see that.

1145
00:52:09,960 --> 00:52:12,840
Speaker 4: I can see why you want to take the Texans

1146
00:52:12,880 --> 00:52:16,960
Speaker 4: because he's terrific and he's a game changer. The Browns defense,

1147
00:52:17,040 --> 00:52:19,279
Speaker 4: to me, though, is everything that you want. They just

1148
00:52:19,400 --> 00:52:21,040
Speaker 4: can get after you in so many different ways. They

1149
00:52:21,080 --> 00:52:24,360
Speaker 4: got a star player who plays at a lights out level.

1150
00:52:25,440 --> 00:52:27,160
Speaker 4: This team is good, man. They get into the playoffs

1151
00:52:27,200 --> 00:52:28,960
Speaker 4: like teams do not want to match up with him

1152
00:52:29,080 --> 00:52:31,640
Speaker 4: just because their defense makes life mix.

1153
00:52:32,719 --> 00:52:35,080
Speaker 2: You know you're talking about Miles Gary. We're talking about

1154
00:52:35,080 --> 00:52:38,440
Speaker 2: the defensive end. He's a tremendous ballplayer. I don't hear

1155
00:52:38,600 --> 00:52:41,920
Speaker 2: his name being associated with the MVP. I look, I

1156
00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:44,279
Speaker 2: get it. The MVP in the National Football League is

1157
00:52:44,400 --> 00:52:46,400
Speaker 2: very similar to the Heisman Trophy in college.

1158
00:52:46,560 --> 00:52:47,800
Speaker 3: You give it to the quarterback.

1159
00:52:48,000 --> 00:52:50,160
Speaker 2: I get it, But really, I think Tyreek Hills the

1160
00:52:50,200 --> 00:52:53,719
Speaker 2: possibility Lamar Jackson may get it. But really, I think

1161
00:52:53,800 --> 00:52:56,120
Speaker 2: that if everybody was honest with themselves, you got to

1162
00:52:56,120 --> 00:52:57,320
Speaker 2: give Miles Garrett some credit.

1163
00:52:57,360 --> 00:52:58,720
Speaker 3: He may get some votes for MVP.

1164
00:53:00,080 --> 00:53:06,040
Speaker 4: Man a defensive player get MVP in forever, like you

1165
00:53:06,200 --> 00:53:08,680
Speaker 4: just talk about, it's just unusual. I think you can

1166
00:53:08,719 --> 00:53:10,719
Speaker 4: give him credit for being the defensive Player of the Year.

1167
00:53:10,880 --> 00:53:13,879
Speaker 4: For being a dominant player. Uh, he's done a really

1168
00:53:13,920 --> 00:53:16,799
Speaker 4: good job of having to keep this team in the mix.

1169
00:53:17,280 --> 00:53:20,480
Speaker 4: He is the kind of look the queen on the

1170
00:53:20,560 --> 00:53:23,240
Speaker 4: chess board where they move him around to create favorable

1171
00:53:23,320 --> 00:53:26,239
Speaker 4: matchups and all kinds of things. So he certainly lived

1172
00:53:26,320 --> 00:53:28,040
Speaker 4: up to the hype that preceded his arrival.

1173
00:53:30,080 --> 00:53:32,440
Speaker 2: Okay, wait a minute, my man Shay is saying, well,

1174
00:53:32,480 --> 00:53:34,880
Speaker 2: who's who do you want for MVP? Come on, speak up,

1175
00:53:35,160 --> 00:53:35,600
Speaker 2: speak up?

1176
00:53:38,120 --> 00:53:42,160
Speaker 9: Was the last person as a defensive players in nineteen

1177
00:53:42,200 --> 00:53:44,719
Speaker 9: eighty six, eighty six, okay.

1178
00:53:44,640 --> 00:53:47,320
Speaker 5: All right, eighty six ot Tario.

1179
00:53:47,840 --> 00:53:50,840
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, Garrett's a heck of a player. But

1180
00:53:51,040 --> 00:53:53,800
Speaker 2: I think in this day and age, they want some glitz,

1181
00:53:53,840 --> 00:53:56,000
Speaker 2: they want some some showtime stuff.

1182
00:53:56,040 --> 00:53:57,800
Speaker 4: And I know they want a quarterback. They want to

1183
00:53:57,840 --> 00:53:59,120
Speaker 4: get into the quarterback.

1184
00:53:59,320 --> 00:54:01,279
Speaker 3: That that's it, and that's what the quarter does.

1185
00:54:01,360 --> 00:54:05,480
Speaker 2: And look, I find it very unusual that when I'm

1186
00:54:05,480 --> 00:54:09,399
Speaker 2: watching football on TV, JJ Watt is on the set,

1187
00:54:09,880 --> 00:54:12,560
Speaker 2: you know, defensive guy. I mean, it doesn't normally happen

1188
00:54:13,160 --> 00:54:16,000
Speaker 2: because normally guys that are in the booth are quarterbacks

1189
00:54:16,040 --> 00:54:18,279
Speaker 2: and receivers. Think about that, I mean to.

1190
00:54:21,120 --> 00:54:22,880
Speaker 5: And I don't like that because I'll personally say it.

1191
00:54:22,880 --> 00:54:25,799
Speaker 4: I don't think quarterbacks no defense like they portray when

1192
00:54:25,800 --> 00:54:28,360
Speaker 4: they're on broadcast. I think they see it from the

1193
00:54:28,480 --> 00:54:32,760
Speaker 4: offense sometimes when they're talking about defense and defensive stuff

1194
00:54:32,800 --> 00:54:35,040
Speaker 4: and what the goal of the defensive coordinator is, I

1195
00:54:35,080 --> 00:54:38,719
Speaker 4: think they're inaccurate. I like having a little diverse perspective

1196
00:54:39,120 --> 00:54:41,640
Speaker 4: up into booth. I think Greg Olsen is terrific. He

1197
00:54:41,760 --> 00:54:45,160
Speaker 4: gives you a different take because as a tight end

1198
00:54:45,360 --> 00:54:48,560
Speaker 4: he's half offensive lineman, half wide receiver, so when it

1199
00:54:48,640 --> 00:54:50,920
Speaker 4: comes to the running game and the passing game, he

1200
00:54:51,000 --> 00:54:53,959
Speaker 4: can give you both from in the trenches to being

1201
00:54:54,160 --> 00:54:57,000
Speaker 4: out wide. To me, I think the game and we

1202
00:54:57,120 --> 00:55:01,879
Speaker 4: as fans would benefit from actives in the booth as

1203
00:55:01,960 --> 00:55:05,160
Speaker 4: opposed to the quarterback always being in the thing.

1204
00:55:05,440 --> 00:55:06,920
Speaker 5: I think some of the narratives that we.

1205
00:55:07,080 --> 00:55:10,439
Speaker 4: Carry with us about the league being a quarterback driven

1206
00:55:10,520 --> 00:55:13,239
Speaker 4: league and so many things about the quarterback, it's because

1207
00:55:13,280 --> 00:55:16,960
Speaker 4: we hear it every Thursday through Sunday by some former

1208
00:55:17,040 --> 00:55:20,080
Speaker 4: quarterback in the booth telling us that, and so I

1209
00:55:20,239 --> 00:55:22,960
Speaker 4: just think if we open it up and allowed others

1210
00:55:23,080 --> 00:55:26,360
Speaker 4: to get in there and share perspectives from different parts

1211
00:55:26,440 --> 00:55:31,000
Speaker 4: of the field, different parts of the team experience, because

1212
00:55:31,000 --> 00:55:33,719
Speaker 4: it's not just a one dimension experience the game.

1213
00:55:34,760 --> 00:55:37,040
Speaker 3: I'm with you one thousand percent. But here's the deal.

1214
00:55:37,440 --> 00:55:41,399
Speaker 2: TV executives could care less about how much knowledge we're

1215
00:55:41,520 --> 00:55:44,600
Speaker 2: given as fans watching on TV. They want eyeballs watching,

1216
00:55:45,120 --> 00:55:47,560
Speaker 2: and if you have a quarterback doing it, they basically

1217
00:55:47,640 --> 00:55:49,879
Speaker 2: feel that quarterbacks going to bring the eyeballs over there.

1218
00:55:50,120 --> 00:55:53,600
Speaker 2: Tony Romo, to me, obviously, is the kind of guy.

1219
00:55:53,760 --> 00:55:56,120
Speaker 2: I think maybe I'm mistaken that he just comes in,

1220
00:55:56,480 --> 00:55:58,239
Speaker 2: walks off the street and does the games. I don't

1221
00:55:58,280 --> 00:56:00,920
Speaker 2: think he does much preparation. Times they'll tell you, hey,

1222
00:56:01,000 --> 00:56:02,719
Speaker 2: look at number eighty six. It doesn't even know the

1223
00:56:02,760 --> 00:56:03,319
Speaker 2: guy's name.

1224
00:56:03,800 --> 00:56:03,960
Speaker 4: You know.

1225
00:56:04,000 --> 00:56:05,520
Speaker 2: I don't think he's doing a lot of preparation. So

1226
00:56:05,600 --> 00:56:07,880
Speaker 2: I'm with you, but I think if you're a TV exec,

1227
00:56:08,120 --> 00:56:10,400
Speaker 2: they're afraid to hire those guys because they don't have

1228
00:56:10,480 --> 00:56:14,960
Speaker 2: that name recognition as the quarterback or receiver does. They

1229
00:56:14,960 --> 00:56:18,680
Speaker 2: don't even have running backs anymore. It's a receiver or quarterback.

1230
00:56:18,840 --> 00:56:20,560
Speaker 2: Those are the guys that get in the booth. Bucket

1231
00:56:20,600 --> 00:56:22,920
Speaker 2: Brooks should be in the booth, But you weren't a quarterback.

1232
00:56:24,200 --> 00:56:26,759
Speaker 4: No, I just look, I just think It's the thing

1233
00:56:26,800 --> 00:56:30,120
Speaker 4: where we can open up. The more the perspectives are different.

1234
00:56:30,400 --> 00:56:33,600
Speaker 4: When you have guys that played other positions in some

1235
00:56:33,760 --> 00:56:36,799
Speaker 4: of those roles, it just will give you an opportunity

1236
00:56:36,880 --> 00:56:40,160
Speaker 4: to hear a different take on the game, not just

1237
00:56:40,280 --> 00:56:43,280
Speaker 4: from the quarterbacks prism, but from the prism of others.

1238

1259
00:57:45,640 --> 00:57:46,240
Speaker 2: Bucks today.

1260
00:57:46,440 --> 00:57:46,880
Speaker 1: Jags.

1261
00:57:47,560 --> 00:57:49,840
Speaker 2: Oh boy, they've lost three in a row, all to

1262
00:57:50,040 --> 00:57:54,320
Speaker 2: AFC North teams. And where's the lead now in the

1263
00:57:54,400 --> 00:57:56,240
Speaker 2: AFC South? That's gone right now?

1264
00:57:56,320 --> 00:57:57,480
Speaker 3: Buck? What's going on?

1265
00:57:59,480 --> 00:58:01,640
Speaker 4: No? I mean in the midst of a look a

1266
00:58:01,720 --> 00:58:04,400
Speaker 4: bit of a slide. You lost three in a row.

1267
00:58:04,640 --> 00:58:06,520
Speaker 4: You lost some confidence and you got to find a

1268
00:58:06,520 --> 00:58:08,960
Speaker 4: way to dig yourself out of it. This is common.

1269
00:58:09,000 --> 00:58:11,200
Speaker 4: The San Francisco Niners forty nine ers went on a

1270
00:58:11,280 --> 00:58:15,160
Speaker 4: three game losing streak before they got hot. It happens.

1271
00:58:15,240 --> 00:58:17,760
Speaker 4: The season is a marathon, not a sprint, and if

1272
00:58:17,800 --> 00:58:19,640
Speaker 4: you're the Jaguars, you want to be playing your best

1273
00:58:19,640 --> 00:58:23,240
Speaker 4: football in December. It hasn't happened today, but the best

1274
00:58:23,280 --> 00:58:25,240
Speaker 4: time to do it is now. And you want to

1275
00:58:25,280 --> 00:58:27,160
Speaker 4: go into the playoffs. If you get to the playoffs,

1276
00:58:27,160 --> 00:58:28,720
Speaker 4: you want to go in there on a bit of

1277
00:58:28,800 --> 00:58:30,919
Speaker 4: a run, and so it's time. I mean the clock

1278
00:58:31,040 --> 00:58:33,040
Speaker 4: is ticking. They got to play better, and so it

1279
00:58:33,160 --> 00:58:35,280
Speaker 4: starts by not beating themselves. We'll see if they're able

1280
00:58:35,280 --> 00:58:35,520
Speaker 4: to do it.

1281
00:58:36,000 --> 00:58:38,200
Speaker 2: Okay, they're eight and six right now, and the good

1282
00:58:38,280 --> 00:58:39,680
Speaker 2: news is I'm going to give you some good news.

1283
00:58:39,720 --> 00:58:41,600
Speaker 2: Maybe you could relay that to the ball club. I'm

1284
00:58:41,640 --> 00:58:44,360
Speaker 2: sure they know that. But the last three games Tampa,

1285
00:58:44,880 --> 00:58:49,200
Speaker 2: Carolina and Tennessee is the easiest remaining schedule based on

1286
00:58:49,280 --> 00:58:51,080
Speaker 2: opponent's collective winning percentage.

1287
00:58:51,280 --> 00:58:53,040
Speaker 3: So that's a positive. I don't know.

1288
00:58:53,200 --> 00:58:55,120
Speaker 2: Players look at that and say we should win these

1289
00:58:55,200 --> 00:58:57,440
Speaker 2: games and next thing you know, they bomb out.

1290
00:58:57,520 --> 00:59:01,320
Speaker 3: But they should win those last three, I.

1291
00:59:01,360 --> 00:59:03,280
Speaker 4: Mean they should, but you got the first one is

1292
00:59:03,280 --> 00:59:06,160
Speaker 4: the most important one. That's the one against Tampa. You

1293
00:59:06,200 --> 00:59:08,280
Speaker 4: gotta get your confidence right. You have to find a

1294
00:59:08,320 --> 00:59:10,960
Speaker 4: way to play, and you got injuries all around, and

1295
00:59:11,080 --> 00:59:14,200
Speaker 4: so can this team find a way to get to

1296
00:59:14,280 --> 00:59:17,120
Speaker 4: get a win. And much like the Pittsburgh Steelers had

1297
00:59:17,120 --> 00:59:19,200
Speaker 4: to get up off the mat, the Jaguars have to

1298
00:59:19,240 --> 00:59:21,720
Speaker 4: get up off the mat. Haven't played well of late,

1299
00:59:21,840 --> 00:59:24,640
Speaker 4: but there's always a chance, and it just takes that

1300
00:59:24,920 --> 00:59:27,600
Speaker 4: one win to kind of flip the switch to ignite

1301
00:59:27,600 --> 00:59:29,440
Speaker 4: a run. They need to just have one of those.

1302
00:59:29,320 --> 00:59:32,880
Speaker 2: Games, right They talk about Tampa right now. Last week

1303
00:59:32,960 --> 00:59:35,680
Speaker 2: beating Green Bay at Green Bay thirty four to twenty,

1304
00:59:35,760 --> 00:59:38,880
Speaker 2: we talked about Baker Mayfield. In that win, Baker Mayfield

1305
00:59:38,920 --> 00:59:41,600
Speaker 2: became the third quarterback in the league history with at

1306
00:59:41,680 --> 00:59:45,440
Speaker 2: least three hundred and seventy five passing yards, four touchdowns, and.

1307
00:59:45,560 --> 00:59:47,520
Speaker 3: A perfect passer rating on the road.

1308
00:59:47,600 --> 00:59:49,920
Speaker 2: So you was spot on when you were running for

1309
00:59:50,040 --> 00:59:55,760
Speaker 2: NFL dot Com that he's due for some big paydayh.

1310
00:59:53,960 --> 00:59:55,840
Speaker 4: He's gonna get paid now. He's gonna get paid from them.

1311
00:59:55,880 --> 00:59:58,000
Speaker 4: He's been a perfect leader for them. And I will

1312
00:59:58,040 --> 01:00:01,400
Speaker 4: say this, Baker's matured in a number of ways that

1313
01:00:01,560 --> 01:00:04,560
Speaker 4: will help him be the face of that franchise going forward.

1314
01:00:04,880 --> 01:00:07,760
Speaker 4: You've seen him take a lower profile since he's been

1315
01:00:07,840 --> 01:00:10,040
Speaker 4: down in Tampa. You've seen him do some of the

1316
01:00:10,080 --> 01:00:11,920
Speaker 4: things that he always did. He was always known as

1317
01:00:11,920 --> 01:00:14,440
Speaker 4: one of the guys. Guys, but I think the journey

1318
01:00:14,520 --> 01:00:18,600
Speaker 4: going from Cleveland to Carolina to LA to Tampa, I

1319
01:00:18,680 --> 01:00:21,400
Speaker 4: think there was a humbling journey but also an enlightening

1320
01:00:21,520 --> 01:00:24,400
Speaker 4: journey for him in terms of how he needs the

1321
01:00:24,440 --> 01:00:26,200
Speaker 4: conduct him so of how he needs to be around

1322
01:00:26,640 --> 01:00:29,600
Speaker 4: his team, how he needs to play and perform to

1323
01:00:29,640 --> 01:00:30,880
Speaker 4: be a franchise quarterback.

1324
01:00:31,000 --> 01:00:33,480
Speaker 5: I think he's grown and that growth is reflected in

1325
01:00:33,560 --> 01:00:33,919
Speaker 5: his play.

1326
01:00:34,360 --> 01:00:36,320
Speaker 2: You know, we talk about you Jags have lost three

1327
01:00:36,360 --> 01:00:37,960
Speaker 2: in a row, but the Tampa Bay Bucks have won

1328
01:00:38,000 --> 01:00:40,120
Speaker 2: three in a row right now and their leaders in

1329
01:00:40,160 --> 01:00:42,800
Speaker 2: the NFC South, which is not a great accomplishment, but

1330
01:00:42,840 --> 01:00:45,000
Speaker 2: at least you're leading something. So that's a perfect thing

1331
01:00:45,120 --> 01:00:47,600
Speaker 2: for him, and you know they're on their way right now.

1332
01:00:47,680 --> 01:00:50,680
Speaker 2: The ball clubs can be tough to deal with, and

1333
01:00:51,760 --> 01:00:54,760
Speaker 2: I'm looking forward to seeing them on the two of

1334
01:00:54,880 --> 01:00:57,640
Speaker 2: this afternoon because this could be a decent game. I mean,

1335
01:00:58,600 --> 01:01:00,560
Speaker 2: I think Jacksonville should win this. I think it's be

1336
01:01:00,600 --> 01:01:01,400
Speaker 2: closer than you think.

1337
01:01:03,000 --> 01:01:04,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, I think it would be a close game.

1338
01:01:04,680 --> 01:01:06,440
Speaker 4: It should be a competitive game. The big thing that

1339
01:01:06,600 --> 01:01:10,120
Speaker 4: you have if you're the ten big Buccaneers is Mike

1340
01:01:10,200 --> 01:01:12,640
Speaker 4: Evans and Chris Godwin. Who's going to cover those guys.

1341
01:01:12,760 --> 01:01:14,880
Speaker 4: It's a hard matchup for the Jaguars having to deal

1342
01:01:14,920 --> 01:01:17,720
Speaker 4: with those guys on the outside because they're dominant, they

1343
01:01:17,800 --> 01:01:21,560
Speaker 4: make plays. They help Baker when he puts the ball

1344
01:01:21,720 --> 01:01:23,760
Speaker 4: up in Hard's way. They come down with those fifty

1345
01:01:23,760 --> 01:01:28,640
Speaker 4: to fifty balls. It's tough. Btchup, I did you there?

1346
01:01:28,800 --> 01:01:31,760
Speaker 2: Okay, here's the game right now that that has some

1347
01:01:31,880 --> 01:01:35,280
Speaker 2: hidden meaning, not really as far as standings are concerned,

1348
01:01:35,280 --> 01:01:36,640
Speaker 2: because I think both these teams are going to be

1349
01:01:36,640 --> 01:01:39,200
Speaker 2: out of playoff contention. The Arizona Cardinals are playing in

1350
01:01:39,280 --> 01:01:41,640
Speaker 2: Chicago against the Bears. Cardinals three and eleven, the Bears

1351
01:01:41,680 --> 01:01:43,560
Speaker 2: are five and nine. But the big question in this

1352
01:01:43,680 --> 01:01:47,360
Speaker 2: game right now, wi will the Bears quarterback Justin Field's

1353
01:01:47,400 --> 01:01:51,480
Speaker 2: play next year? And look, the Bears lost twenty seventeen.

1354
01:01:51,520 --> 01:01:54,080
Speaker 2: That was a heartbreaker in Cleveland last week. The Bears

1355
01:01:54,200 --> 01:01:56,840
Speaker 2: defense is thirteen takeaways in the last four games. They're

1356
01:01:56,840 --> 01:02:00,120
Speaker 2: playing a little better football. The Cardinals got swamped to

1357
01:02:00,200 --> 01:02:03,400
Speaker 2: San Francisco last week. Forty five twenty nine. Kylin Murray

1358
01:02:03,440 --> 01:02:06,160
Speaker 2: the Carlins quarterback last week against the forty nine ers,

1359
01:02:06,440 --> 01:02:09,280
Speaker 2: two with deceptions and two fumbles. But the big question

1360
01:02:09,400 --> 01:02:12,360
Speaker 2: is mentioned the Bears and their quarterback. Where does you go?

1361
01:02:12,960 --> 01:02:15,640
Speaker 2: That's the thing. And I think that maybe it's the Falcons,

1362
01:02:15,880 --> 01:02:18,040
Speaker 2: you know, because right now with the Desmond Ridder situation,

1363
01:02:18,280 --> 01:02:20,160
Speaker 2: he's like a yo yo back and forth. One week

1364
01:02:20,200 --> 01:02:22,160
Speaker 2: he plays, one week he doesn't. And since they left

1365
01:02:22,240 --> 01:02:25,120
Speaker 2: Matt Ryan, Since Matt Ryan left the Falcons, they have

1366
01:02:25,520 --> 01:02:28,760
Speaker 2: no clue as to where that quarterback situation is.

1367
01:02:30,680 --> 01:02:33,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, look, I don't know. I know everyone

1368
01:02:33,880 --> 01:02:36,800
Speaker 4: in Chicago is clamoring for a new quarterback, and so

1369
01:02:36,960 --> 01:02:38,919
Speaker 4: they want to put it on Justin Fields. And maybe

1370
01:02:38,920 --> 01:02:41,280
Speaker 4: they should move on from Justin Fields and take one

1371
01:02:41,320 --> 01:02:43,960
Speaker 4: of the guys Kavia Williams or Drake May. But if

1372
01:02:44,040 --> 01:02:46,840
Speaker 4: you do that, you also are dealing with the uncertainty

1373
01:02:46,920 --> 01:02:49,000
Speaker 4: on whether either of those guys are what you think.

1374
01:02:49,560 --> 01:02:51,040
Speaker 5: Drake May's only played two years.

1375
01:02:51,400 --> 01:02:54,720
Speaker 4: Kathan Williams played wana Heisman, then last year was disappointing,

1376
01:02:55,080 --> 01:02:57,440
Speaker 4: numbers came back. We saw some different things from him

1377
01:02:57,800 --> 01:03:00,760
Speaker 4: in terms of his personality and stuff away from the field,

1378
01:03:00,760 --> 01:03:03,440
Speaker 4: Like he's still a great player in those things. But

1379
01:03:03,640 --> 01:03:05,600
Speaker 4: do you want to move on with him or you

1380
01:03:05,680 --> 01:03:09,400
Speaker 4: well positioned with Justin Fields. If Justin Fields goes, I

1381
01:03:09,480 --> 01:03:13,440
Speaker 4: don't know what kind of I don't know what he

1382
01:03:13,440 --> 01:03:15,640
Speaker 4: would have available, you know, like I don't I don't

1383
01:03:15,640 --> 01:03:17,080
Speaker 4: know if the foul because would make that move. He's

1384
01:03:17,120 --> 01:03:19,439
Speaker 4: from Georgia, so would it makes sense. But I don't

1385
01:03:19,440 --> 01:03:21,800
Speaker 4: know how many fans he's going to have. I'm just

1386
01:03:21,960 --> 01:03:24,600
Speaker 4: learly on, oh, he's going to have all this around him,

1387
01:03:24,600 --> 01:03:27,800
Speaker 4: because my question would be, if he's so good, why

1388
01:03:27,840 --> 01:03:30,400
Speaker 4: you're getting rid of him? You know, that's why other

1389
01:03:30,440 --> 01:03:32,600
Speaker 4: teams would look at it. If he's so good, why

1390
01:03:32,600 --> 01:03:34,760
Speaker 4: are you willing to move on for an unknown in

1391
01:03:34,880 --> 01:03:39,120
Speaker 4: the draft? That would cause some pause, you know, and

1392
01:03:39,200 --> 01:03:41,720
Speaker 4: I think that that would be the case around the league.

1393
01:03:42,160 --> 01:03:45,400
Speaker 4: I don't know how he's viewed from other teams in

1394
01:03:45,560 --> 01:03:47,360
Speaker 4: terms of what he's able to do as a player.

1395
01:03:47,920 --> 01:03:50,200
Speaker 2: You know, we both know that you're better off, you

1396
01:03:50,320 --> 01:03:52,720
Speaker 2: better served with a quarterback that has been in the

1397
01:03:52,800 --> 01:03:54,600
Speaker 2: league and played in the league than getting a draft

1398
01:03:54,640 --> 01:03:57,480
Speaker 2: by the draft pick who has has been untested and

1399
01:03:57,600 --> 01:03:59,760
Speaker 2: may not even make it. But I think the reason

1400
01:03:59,800 --> 01:04:02,920
Speaker 2: why there's such clamoring around Chicago to get rid of

1401
01:04:03,120 --> 01:04:05,680
Speaker 2: Justin Fields not so much of his play, because he's

1402
01:04:05,720 --> 01:04:08,760
Speaker 2: been very good at times, especially with his legs, but

1403
01:04:08,880 --> 01:04:10,640
Speaker 2: the fact that they have a number one pick, and

1404
01:04:10,800 --> 01:04:13,400
Speaker 2: also they have another top five pick, So I think

1405
01:04:13,520 --> 01:04:16,280
Speaker 2: that makes it more interesting and the intrigue gets deeper

1406
01:04:16,600 --> 01:04:19,320
Speaker 2: because they have a possibility of getting a quarterback, and

1407
01:04:19,400 --> 01:04:21,320
Speaker 2: certainly if you have a number one pick, there's a

1408
01:04:21,400 --> 01:04:23,480
Speaker 2: real good chance you're going to pick a quarterback at

1409
01:04:23,520 --> 01:04:24,240
Speaker 2: the number one pick.

1410
01:04:25,440 --> 01:04:27,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, but I will only say this, like, you only

1411
01:04:27,560 --> 01:04:29,440
Speaker 4: pick a quarterback with the number one overall pick if

1412
01:04:29,440 --> 01:04:31,680
Speaker 4: you really believe that the quarterback is the best player

1413
01:04:31,800 --> 01:04:33,840
Speaker 4: in the draft and tier.

1414
01:04:33,640 --> 01:04:35,560
Speaker 5: Till when we get to digging into the class.

1415
01:04:36,120 --> 01:04:39,480
Speaker 4: Is Kayler Williams the best player in this draft? Like, yeah,

1416
01:04:40,040 --> 01:04:40,680
Speaker 4: then you take him.

1417
01:04:40,720 --> 01:04:43,040
Speaker 5: But if not, there are a bunch of different.

1418
01:04:42,760 --> 01:04:44,560
Speaker 4: Ways for the Bears to build this up. They can

1419
01:04:44,600 --> 01:04:46,440
Speaker 4: build up the rest of the team and then when

1420
01:04:46,480 --> 01:04:49,000
Speaker 4: they find a quarterback that they feel is ready to

1421
01:04:49,080 --> 01:04:50,640
Speaker 4: take them to the next level, they could drop that

1422
01:04:50,760 --> 01:04:53,760
Speaker 4: quarterback in. You know, having two top five picks doesn't

1423
01:04:53,760 --> 01:04:55,680
Speaker 4: mean that you have to take a quarterback and reset it.

1424
01:04:56,040 --> 01:04:58,960
Speaker 4: But regards to if they take a quarterback, I don't

1425
01:04:58,960 --> 01:05:01,640
Speaker 4: know if they need to move off Justin Fields. Why

1426
01:05:01,720 --> 01:05:04,120
Speaker 4: not bring in another quarterback and say, hey, man, we're

1427
01:05:04,120 --> 01:05:07,040
Speaker 4: gonna play the guy that gives us the best opportunity

1428
01:05:07,120 --> 01:05:08,919
Speaker 4: to win. So y'all duke it out in training camp

1429
01:05:09,280 --> 01:05:11,040
Speaker 4: and if Justin Fields you win the job, then you

1430
01:05:11,160 --> 01:05:13,880
Speaker 4: get it. If the other guy wins the job, then

1431
01:05:13,920 --> 01:05:16,800
Speaker 4: he gets it. You have to pay justin fields regardless

1432
01:05:17,200 --> 01:05:18,960
Speaker 4: the money's on the books. He's on the books for

1433
01:05:19,040 --> 01:05:21,640
Speaker 4: six million, so you have to pay him. I don't

1434
01:05:21,680 --> 01:05:23,680
Speaker 4: think that you need to be in a rush to

1435
01:05:23,800 --> 01:05:25,480
Speaker 4: get him out. And I've said this. I said this

1436
01:05:25,600 --> 01:05:29,360
Speaker 4: on X the other day. The Chargers when they were

1437
01:05:29,360 --> 01:05:33,000
Speaker 4: in San Diego, they drafted Philip Rivers while having Drew Brees.

1438
01:05:33,480 --> 01:05:36,880
Speaker 4: Drew Brees responded with that Pro Bowl caliber season with

1439
01:05:37,040 --> 01:05:40,520
Speaker 4: Philip Rivers on the bench. Now, it eventually handed the

1440
01:05:40,600 --> 01:05:43,960
Speaker 4: reins to Philip Rivers, but Drew Brees was able to

1441
01:05:44,280 --> 01:05:46,080
Speaker 4: play at a high enough level where they didn't have

1442
01:05:46,120 --> 01:05:49,200
Speaker 4: to play Philip Rivers early. Maybe that happens in Chicago.

1443
01:05:49,680 --> 01:05:51,400
Speaker 2: You know, you bring up an interesting publish I think

1444
01:05:51,480 --> 01:05:53,920
Speaker 2: right now there's going to be a different attitude as

1445
01:05:53,960 --> 01:05:56,440
Speaker 2: far as quarterbacking is concern as far as general managers

1446
01:05:56,440 --> 01:05:59,360
Speaker 2: and personnel people are concerned, because of what happened this

1447
01:05:59,520 --> 01:06:02,560
Speaker 2: year that most ball clubs are using a backup quarterback

1448
01:06:02,760 --> 01:06:05,920
Speaker 2: and you have to have a top notch backup quarterback

1449
01:06:05,960 --> 01:06:07,360
Speaker 2: when the number one guy goes down.

1450
01:06:08,920 --> 01:06:12,000
Speaker 4: You do have to have that I mean, you have

1451
01:06:12,120 --> 01:06:14,800
Speaker 4: to have someone that can play. You need to invest

1452
01:06:14,840 --> 01:06:17,920
Speaker 4: in the position. You need to make sure that you

1453
01:06:18,080 --> 01:06:21,000
Speaker 4: have multiple guys that can play at a high level. So, yeah,

1454
01:06:21,080 --> 01:06:24,920
Speaker 4: you're right, it's important to have two guys. And some

1455
01:06:25,040 --> 01:06:28,920
Speaker 4: would contend that if we're ranking the teams, like the

1456
01:06:29,040 --> 01:06:33,680
Speaker 4: positions on the team, man, the backup quarterback might be

1457
01:06:34,480 --> 01:06:37,800
Speaker 4: the second most important position that we've seen, like in

1458
01:06:37,920 --> 01:06:41,360
Speaker 4: terms in terms of like that, after we get to it,

1459
01:06:41,600 --> 01:06:44,640
Speaker 4: we may want to treat the quarterback, the backup quarterback

1460
01:06:44,680 --> 01:06:48,640
Speaker 4: position as another starter over top of some of the

1461
01:06:48,760 --> 01:06:51,080
Speaker 4: other positions that are there, just because they're so valued.

1462
01:06:51,720 --> 01:06:54,800
Speaker 2: Bucky brooks, Andy Furman, Fox Foot Boss on the Fox Bus. Ready,

1470
01:07:12,320 --> 01:07:15,240
Speaker 2: show posted right after we get off the EBB. But

1471
01:07:15,360 --> 01:07:19,080
Speaker 2: right now, the Patriots have their own weapon now. But first,

1472
01:07:19,640 --> 01:07:21,280
Speaker 2: for all your sports, here's.

1473
01:07:21,160 --> 01:07:25,920
Speaker 8: Kevin Wyatt NFL doubleheader action on Saturday really shook up

1474
01:07:25,960 --> 01:07:28,760
Speaker 8: the AFC playoff race. The Bills hold off the Chargers

1475
01:07:28,800 --> 01:07:31,800
Speaker 8: twenty four to twenty two, as Buffalo moves to nine

1476
01:07:31,880 --> 01:07:34,600
Speaker 8: and six on the season, and they now occupy the

1477
01:07:34,720 --> 01:07:38,360
Speaker 8: sixth spot in the AFC playoff standings. That was largely

1478
01:07:38,400 --> 01:07:40,600
Speaker 8: because the Steelers were able to beat the Bengals earlier

1479
01:07:40,640 --> 01:07:43,560
Speaker 8: on Saturday thirty four to eleven the final in Pittsburgh.

1480
01:07:44,080 --> 01:07:47,160
Speaker 8: That lost drops Cincinnati from the number six position all

1481
01:07:47,200 --> 01:07:50,160
Speaker 8: the way down to number ten, while the Steelers leapfrog

1482
01:07:50,240 --> 01:07:53,800
Speaker 8: them into the number nine spot. And we've got a

1483
01:07:53,840 --> 01:07:56,960
Speaker 8: full slate of NFL action coming up on Sunday. Adam

1484
01:07:57,000 --> 01:08:00,600
Speaker 8: Schefter with some updates regarding player injuries and a ailability,

1485
01:08:00,640 --> 01:08:02,760
Speaker 8: and he says that the list of players trying to

1486
01:08:02,800 --> 01:08:04,919
Speaker 8: make it back from injury who are expected to play

1487
01:08:04,960 --> 01:08:08,960
Speaker 8: on Sunday include Gino Smith, Trevor Lawrence, Jonathan Taylor, and

1488
01:08:09,120 --> 01:08:12,200
Speaker 8: Devon a Chan. He also says that Texans wide receiver

1489
01:08:12,320 --> 01:08:15,320
Speaker 8: Nico Collins is expected to play against the Browns. He

1490
01:08:15,440 --> 01:08:18,839
Speaker 8: is officially listed as questionable due to his calf injury.

1491
01:08:19,360 --> 01:08:22,479
Speaker 8: The Dolphins are optimistic that wide receiver Tyreek Hill will

1492
01:08:22,520 --> 01:08:26,040
Speaker 8: play against the Cowboys. He has listed as questionable because

1493
01:08:26,040 --> 01:08:28,160
Speaker 8: of his ankle injury, and they're said to just want

1494
01:08:28,200 --> 01:08:30,680
Speaker 8: to make sure how he's feeling Sunday before making a

1495
01:08:30,800 --> 01:08:35,439
Speaker 8: final decision on his game status. And Seahawks unning back

1496
01:08:35,520 --> 01:08:38,759
Speaker 8: Kenneth Walker is expected to play against the Tennessee Titans.

1497
01:08:38,800 --> 01:08:43,320
Speaker 8: He's listed as questionable with a shoulder injury. Back to you,

1498
01:08:43,840 --> 01:08:46,240
Speaker 8: thank you, keviv Seid about an hour now. It was

1499
01:08:46,320 --> 01:08:48,960
Speaker 8: his first three hundred games since October. And we're not

1500
01:08:49,120 --> 01:08:52,439
Speaker 8: talking about bowling. That's right around the corner. He's Bucky Brooks,

1501
01:08:52,479 --> 01:08:55,360
Speaker 8: I'm Andy Furman. We are Fox Football Sunday on Fox

1502
01:08:55,439 --> 01:08:57,800
Speaker 8: Bust Radio, Bonam Barrel betting on about eight nine minutes

1503
01:08:57,840 --> 01:09:00,479
Speaker 8: from now. But the Patriots are at the Bronco today,

1504
01:09:00,840 --> 01:09:03,840
Speaker 8: a kind of a meaningless game. But Taylor Swift was

1505
01:09:03,920 --> 01:09:07,400
Speaker 8: at Jillette Stadium last Sunday twenty seven to seventeen.

1506
01:09:07,439 --> 01:09:10,560
Speaker 2: The Patriots lost that game to the Chiefs. But the

1507
01:09:10,680 --> 01:09:13,800
Speaker 2: Patriots have their own person right now rooting for them.

1508
01:09:14,000 --> 01:09:17,080
Speaker 2: But John bon Jovi was there to watch the Patriots.

1509
01:09:17,080 --> 01:09:17,680
Speaker 1: How do you like that?

1510
01:09:18,080 --> 01:09:20,960
Speaker 2: But how come bon bon Jovie did not get the

1511
01:09:21,640 --> 01:09:23,880
Speaker 2: accolades that Taylor Swift gets I don't get it.

1512
01:09:24,479 --> 01:09:25,280
Speaker 3: Any reason why.

1513
01:09:25,760 --> 01:09:28,200
Speaker 4: I don't know, just because it's not the eighties and nineties.

1514
01:09:28,240 --> 01:09:31,360
Speaker 4: That's why. That's why he doesn't get the same he

1515
01:09:31,479 --> 01:09:33,600
Speaker 4: just didn't get the same thing. He's always been a

1516
01:09:33,680 --> 01:09:35,840
Speaker 4: long time Patriots fan. He's always kind of been around

1517
01:09:35,880 --> 01:09:38,559
Speaker 4: to mix. He's loved that team. Yeah, it's just different.

1518
01:09:38,600 --> 01:09:41,439
Speaker 4: Taylor Swift is the hottest thing going today. The fact

1519
01:09:41,479 --> 01:09:43,240
Speaker 4: that she has a romance with one of the top

1520
01:09:43,320 --> 01:09:46,240
Speaker 4: players in football, and Travis Kelsey, that's why it's intrigue.

1521
01:09:46,240 --> 01:09:49,439
Speaker 4: You got the casuals, the Swifties tuning in just to

1522
01:09:49,479 --> 01:09:51,040
Speaker 4: see if they can catch a glimpse of her in

1523
01:09:51,120 --> 01:09:52,120
Speaker 4: the box root and forty.

1524
01:09:52,880 --> 01:09:55,120
Speaker 2: You know, And I think I've read this years ago

1525
01:09:55,240 --> 01:09:57,519
Speaker 2: that bon Jovi was interested in buying the Buffalo Bills

1526
01:09:57,560 --> 01:10:01,960
Speaker 2: at one time. Oh interesting, it really would have been anyway.

1527
01:10:02,080 --> 01:10:03,920
Speaker 2: Then the Broncos lost to Detroit last week. I had

1528
01:10:03,960 --> 01:10:08,400
Speaker 2: de Troy forty two seventeen. But the Patriots charges Raiders,

1529
01:10:08,640 --> 01:10:11,040
Speaker 2: they still have a shot, maybe at a wildcut. Birth

1530
01:10:11,080 --> 01:10:13,360
Speaker 2: will think about that, but they'll talk about Sean Payton

1531
01:10:13,360 --> 01:10:15,479
Speaker 2: maybe as a possible Coach of the Year maybe, But

1532
01:10:15,560 --> 01:10:18,200
Speaker 2: their run defense is real weak. And the Patriots Patriots,

1533
01:10:18,479 --> 01:10:21,080
Speaker 2: you know, feed the football to Ezekiel Elliott. Maybe he

1534
01:10:21,160 --> 01:10:23,639
Speaker 2: got a shot today. Their defense has been strong, strong

1535
01:10:23,720 --> 01:10:26,200
Speaker 2: enough to win ball games. Their offense stinks, it really is.

1536
01:10:26,320 --> 01:10:29,480
Speaker 2: And Denver had a five game winning streak with no interceptions.

1537
01:10:29,520 --> 01:10:34,160
Speaker 2: But Russell Wilson has since thrown four interceptions in the

1538
01:10:34,280 --> 01:10:37,040
Speaker 2: last three games and he lost to fumble last week

1539
01:10:37,080 --> 01:10:40,920
Speaker 2: as well, so again he's come back. He's not the

1540
01:10:41,000 --> 01:10:42,800
Speaker 2: Russell Wilson of all. But I think that you got

1541
01:10:42,880 --> 01:10:46,280
Speaker 2: to credit Sean Payton with a great job done with

1542
01:10:46,479 --> 01:10:48,960
Speaker 2: Russell Wilson. Of course with the with the Denver Broncos

1543
01:10:49,000 --> 01:10:49,320
Speaker 2: as well.

1544
01:10:51,000 --> 01:10:53,559
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think Champagne has done a really good job

1545
01:10:53,600 --> 01:10:55,400
Speaker 4: with Russell. He's coached him hard, He's held them to

1546
01:10:55,439 --> 01:10:57,439
Speaker 4: a high standard. He's trying to clean up some of

1547
01:10:57,479 --> 01:10:59,120
Speaker 4: the things that have been plaguing in his play the

1548
01:10:59,240 --> 01:11:04,559
Speaker 4: last few years. And we've seen a difference with the Broncos.

1549
01:11:04,600 --> 01:11:09,080
Speaker 4: The Broncos are more consistent. They've played better. Now we

1550
01:11:09,200 --> 01:11:11,960
Speaker 4: have to keep those expectations and everything within reason, but

1551
01:11:12,520 --> 01:11:14,400
Speaker 4: they played better. This is a big game for them

1552
01:11:14,680 --> 01:11:16,640
Speaker 4: because the one thing we know, regardless of what you

1553
01:11:16,680 --> 01:11:19,840
Speaker 4: think about the Patriots and their offense defensively they steal

1554
01:11:20,200 --> 01:11:22,439
Speaker 4: are just as good as they've always been. And Bill

1555
01:11:22,520 --> 01:11:26,120
Speaker 4: Belichick takes pride in finding ways to create game plans

1556
01:11:26,160 --> 01:11:29,080
Speaker 4: to make the life like difficult for the quarterback. So

1557
01:11:29,200 --> 01:11:34,120
Speaker 4: how does Russell respond to the changing defense that the

1558
01:11:34,200 --> 01:11:36,000
Speaker 4: Patriots are going through out there, because that's going to

1559
01:11:36,040 --> 01:11:37,479
Speaker 4: alter to them the side of this team wins.

1560
01:11:37,960 --> 01:11:40,040
Speaker 2: All right, this could be the game of the day

1561
01:11:40,280 --> 01:11:42,439
Speaker 2: because a lot of questions will be answered. It's on

1562
01:11:42,640 --> 01:11:47,040
Speaker 2: Fox for twenty five Eastern Time. The Dallas Cowboys, America's

1563
01:11:47,120 --> 01:11:50,360
Speaker 2: team at the Miami Dolphins. Both teams are ten and four,

1564
01:11:50,400 --> 01:11:53,160
Speaker 2: and the question that has to be answered today can

1565
01:11:53,240 --> 01:11:56,760
Speaker 2: the Dolphins finally win a game against the team with

1566
01:11:56,840 --> 01:11:59,559
Speaker 2: the winning record They've They've been winning, obviously, they've been winning,

1567
01:11:59,560 --> 01:12:01,720
Speaker 2: but winning as garbage, that's what they're doing. And look,

1568
01:12:01,960 --> 01:12:03,920
Speaker 2: you know, no Faulter they're on. They're playing teams with

1569
01:12:04,000 --> 01:12:05,880
Speaker 2: weak records and that's just the way it is. But

1570
01:12:06,080 --> 01:12:08,040
Speaker 2: can the Dolphins get it done? It's gonna be a

1571
01:12:08,080 --> 01:12:11,200
Speaker 2: great test on both sides of the football. Well, we

1572
01:12:11,320 --> 01:12:13,800
Speaker 2: see Tyreek Hill. He didn't play last week. Maybe they

1573
01:12:13,880 --> 01:12:16,400
Speaker 2: rested him for today's game. So we'll see your take

1574
01:12:16,479 --> 01:12:17,800
Speaker 2: on this game, because this is a goodie.

1575
01:12:17,880 --> 01:12:18,599
Speaker 3: It's on Fox.

1576
01:12:20,240 --> 01:12:22,719
Speaker 5: Yeah, no, this is a good one. And look, styles

1577
01:12:22,800 --> 01:12:23,519
Speaker 5: make fights.

1578
01:12:24,240 --> 01:12:29,400
Speaker 4: The Dolphins up tempo, dynamic offense is going to test

1579
01:12:30,040 --> 01:12:34,639
Speaker 4: the Cowboys defense. The Cowboys are a turnover obsessed defense.

1580
01:12:34,680 --> 01:12:36,280
Speaker 4: They do a really good job of turning it over.

1581
01:12:36,720 --> 01:12:38,640
Speaker 4: The thing that I worry about with the Cowboys is

1582
01:12:38,640 --> 01:12:40,680
Speaker 4: people have shown that you can run on them. In

1583
01:12:40,840 --> 01:12:42,960
Speaker 4: this Dolphins run attack, they run to the sea gat,

1584
01:12:42,960 --> 01:12:44,599
Speaker 4: they run to the edges off tackle.

1585
01:12:45,080 --> 01:12:47,000
Speaker 5: How do the Cowboys deal with that?

1586
01:12:47,200 --> 01:12:50,600
Speaker 4: Michael Parsons is gonna get blocked and knocked around in

1587
01:12:50,680 --> 01:12:51,080
Speaker 4: those things.

1588
01:12:51,120 --> 01:12:52,920
Speaker 5: Who are the other players that they're gonna step up?

1589
01:12:53,320 --> 01:12:58,280
Speaker 4: And then when you just look at what the Dolphins

1590
01:12:58,320 --> 01:13:00,720
Speaker 4: do offensively in terms of like Tyre Heel and his

1591
01:13:00,880 --> 01:13:02,960
Speaker 4: explosiveness and if he comes back and changed the way

1592
01:13:03,000 --> 01:13:06,680
Speaker 4: you have to cover, just a hard matchup. Conversely, when

1593
01:13:06,720 --> 01:13:08,800
Speaker 4: you think about the Cowboys offense going to get fixed

1594
01:13:08,840 --> 01:13:11,639
Speaker 4: Fangio's defense, I'm just curious to see if Jalen Ramsey

1595
01:13:11,800 --> 01:13:15,080
Speaker 4: is going to travel and cover Ceedee Lamb all over

1596
01:13:15,120 --> 01:13:16,840
Speaker 4: the field, if he's just going to stay on one

1597
01:13:16,920 --> 01:13:21,439
Speaker 4: side right now, down in Miami. I'm thinking, look, it

1598
01:13:21,439 --> 01:13:24,640
Speaker 4: should be the Dolphins to lose, but the Cowboys has

1599
01:13:24,640 --> 01:13:27,679
Speaker 4: shown this year they have various capabilities, have been able.

1600
01:13:27,560 --> 01:13:29,439
Speaker 3: To go and get a dub, right, and this is

1601
01:13:29,520 --> 01:13:29,800
Speaker 3: the game.

1602
01:13:29,880 --> 01:13:33,400
Speaker 2: Honestly that if the Cowboys should win this game, Dak Prescott,

1603
01:13:33,520 --> 01:13:34,880
Speaker 2: you know, will shine and I'll get a lot of

1604
01:13:35,000 --> 01:13:37,680
Speaker 2: MVP votes. But you talk about the Dolphins, can they

1605
01:13:37,720 --> 01:13:40,240
Speaker 2: win a game against a team with a winning record.

1606
01:13:40,520 --> 01:13:43,080
Speaker 2: Let's look at their four losses. They lost that Buffalo

1607
01:13:43,160 --> 01:13:45,200
Speaker 2: and they got smoked there forty eight twenty early in

1608
01:13:45,240 --> 01:13:48,280
Speaker 2: the season. They lost that Philadelphia thirty one to seventeen.

1609
01:13:48,560 --> 01:13:51,160
Speaker 2: They lost their Kansas City twenty one to fourteen. They

1610
01:13:51,200 --> 01:13:54,000
Speaker 2: did lose to Tennessee at the time, I think Tennessee

1611
01:13:54,040 --> 01:13:56,439
Speaker 2: did have a winning record as losing record they were

1612
01:13:56,479 --> 01:13:59,439
Speaker 2: losing at that time. Twenty eight, twenty eight, twenty seven

1613
01:13:59,520 --> 01:14:02,000
Speaker 2: are closely so they lose. Three of those four teams

1614
01:14:02,240 --> 01:14:05,760
Speaker 2: are tremendous teams, and that you gotta once and you

1615
01:14:05,840 --> 01:14:08,599
Speaker 2: gotta step up. You gotta once in a while step

1616
01:14:08,720 --> 01:14:10,360
Speaker 2: up and beat a team that has a winning record.

1617
01:14:10,439 --> 01:14:12,800
Speaker 2: And today's got the chance to do that. Although on

1618
01:14:12,920 --> 01:14:15,720
Speaker 2: the thirty first of December, they're gonna be at Baltimore

1619
01:14:15,800 --> 01:14:18,599
Speaker 2: and January seventh, they played Buffalo again. So these next

1620
01:14:18,640 --> 01:14:21,240
Speaker 2: three games are gonna prove to the world what kind

1621
01:14:21,280 --> 01:14:23,799
Speaker 2: of team the Dolphins are Dallas, Baltimore and Buffalo.

1622
01:14:26,000 --> 01:14:29,200
Speaker 4: And what I would say is, if you want to

1623
01:14:29,240 --> 01:14:32,360
Speaker 4: win the division, this is a must win because what

1624
01:14:32,520 --> 01:14:34,840
Speaker 4: you don't want to happen is you give away this one,

1625
01:14:35,200 --> 01:14:37,639
Speaker 4: then you gotta win the last two Baltimore and Buffalo

1626
01:14:38,120 --> 01:14:39,960
Speaker 4: to get it done. This is one that you can't

1627
01:14:40,000 --> 01:14:41,880
Speaker 4: give away if you're to Miami Dolphins, because you can

1628
01:14:41,960 --> 01:14:45,200
Speaker 4: go from sitting pretty in the playoff pitcher to hold

1629
01:14:45,240 --> 01:14:46,880
Speaker 4: it off for dear life, because you can't take your

1630
01:14:46,880 --> 01:14:47,840
Speaker 4: of business down the stretch.

1631
01:14:48,400 --> 01:14:51,479
Speaker 2: You go Bucket Brooks away before we roll, before I roll?

1632
01:14:51,600 --> 01:14:53,439
Speaker 2: Who are you taking in this ball game? Who's gonna

1633
01:14:53,479 --> 01:14:54,000
Speaker 2: win this game?

1634
01:14:55,560 --> 01:14:56,519
Speaker 5: I'm gonna go within Miami.

1635
01:14:57,400 --> 01:15:00,519
Speaker 4: I think Miami at home Tagreek Hill has a big

1636
01:15:00,600 --> 01:15:02,880
Speaker 4: game in their defense, Vic Fangio finds a way to

1637
01:15:02,960 --> 01:15:06,840
Speaker 4: kind of give the Cowboys office a little problem.

1638
01:15:07,080 --> 01:15:10,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the Dolphins running game is gonna be

1639
01:15:10,320 --> 01:15:12,519
Speaker 2: tough because I think that that could be the key

1640
01:15:12,600 --> 01:15:14,400
Speaker 2: right there, Tyreek Hill, I think everybody knows what he

1641
01:15:14,439 --> 01:15:16,640
Speaker 2: could do. He's gotta have fifteen hundred receiving yards and

1642
01:15:16,680 --> 01:15:18,639
Speaker 2: I think he's gonna play may not be one hundred percent.

1643
01:15:18,800 --> 01:15:20,439
Speaker 2: I think the running games are to get it done,

1644
01:15:20,479 --> 01:15:22,439
Speaker 2: and I think that the offensive weapons that they have

1645
01:15:22,760 --> 01:15:24,240
Speaker 2: will get it done. And of course the game is

1646
01:15:24,280 --> 01:15:26,280
Speaker 2: at home, so I think Miami wins this game. I

1647
01:15:26,320 --> 01:15:28,200
Speaker 2: think it'll be a close game, but I think they win,

1648
01:15:28,280 --> 01:15:30,200
Speaker 2: maybe by a field goal, but they win this ball game.

1649
01:15:31,400 --> 01:15:32,320
Speaker 4: That's great to be going.

1650
01:15:32,600 --> 01:15:35,320

Speaker 2: You know what, I'm gonna go this guy, Marcus Cleveland

1742
01:20:00,080 --> 01:20:03,040
Speaker 2: because he seems to me like an independent guy. Anybody

1743
01:20:03,040 --> 01:20:05,640
Speaker 2: who could spell Cleveland with a K gotta have a

1744
01:20:05,720 --> 01:20:07,200
Speaker 2: lot of guts, you know what I mean.

1745
01:20:07,439 --> 01:20:10,439
Speaker 3: Supposed to be with a set. I'll take Marcus Cleveland

1746
01:20:10,479 --> 01:20:10,800
Speaker 3: with a K.

1747
01:20:12,080 --> 01:20:12,560
Speaker 4: I like that.

1748
01:20:13,080 --> 01:20:15,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, they would have changed the city of Cleveland to

1749
01:20:15,680 --> 01:20:15,920
Speaker 3: a K.

1750
01:20:16,200 --> 01:20:17,080
Speaker 4: Really, do you think so?

1751
01:20:17,600 --> 01:20:19,200
Speaker 3: Yes, be very interesting.

1752
01:20:19,320 --> 01:20:21,240
Speaker 4: I think the sea is pretty cool. I don't know.

1753
01:20:21,360 --> 01:20:23,360
Speaker 2: I'd like to see the Cleveland Cavaliers with the jersey

1754
01:20:23,439 --> 01:20:26,120
Speaker 2: with a K. Cavaliers with a K too, KK.

1755
01:20:26,720 --> 01:20:27,960
Speaker 4: That'd be historic.

1756
01:20:29,680 --> 01:20:31,880
Speaker 2: All right, I guess that'll do it. But the swollen

1757

1770
01:21:18,479 --> 01:21:21,920
Speaker 1: slate of NFL games there, Andy, you already got a

1771
01:21:22,000 --> 01:21:23,800
Speaker 1: lump of coles. So today's got to be better.

1772
01:21:25,000 --> 01:21:27,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's gotta be better. I mean, it was bad,

1773
01:21:27,560 --> 01:21:27,760
Speaker 3: it was.

1774
01:21:27,880 --> 01:21:29,960
Speaker 2: I mean, look, I think if you were a Bengals

1775
01:21:30,000 --> 01:21:32,000
Speaker 2: fan in Cincinnati, you knew that things are gonna be

1776
01:21:32,040 --> 01:21:34,439
Speaker 2: a rough road when Joe Borrow went down. But you know,

1777
01:21:34,520 --> 01:21:37,320
Speaker 2: it was surprised a little bit with Jake Browning. But

1778
01:21:37,400 --> 01:21:40,080
Speaker 2: I think that it was like the glass Slipperwitzenderella it ended,

1779
01:21:40,320 --> 01:21:41,599
Speaker 2: and I'll tell you what it ended.

1780
01:21:41,760 --> 01:21:42,000
Speaker 4: Rough.

1781
01:21:42,800 --> 01:21:45,720
Speaker 2: It was ugly last night with the Pittsburgh Steelers. It

1782
01:21:45,840 --> 01:21:47,840
Speaker 2: was the stealers of old. They looked like the old

1783
01:21:47,880 --> 01:21:50,320
Speaker 2: steals yesterday. So we'll see what happened.

1784
01:21:50,320 --> 01:21:51,080
Speaker 3: And I don't know why.

1785
01:21:51,280 --> 01:21:54,040
Speaker 2: Zach Taylor and maybe Bucky could answer this. Why did

1786
01:21:54,080 --> 01:21:57,320
Speaker 2: they leave Jake Browning in so long. They should have

1787
01:21:57,360 --> 01:21:58,960
Speaker 2: taken them out of the game. They went down by

1788
01:21:59,000 --> 01:22:01,160
Speaker 2: twenty three points. Take them out of it, put an HJ.

1789
01:22:01,320 --> 01:22:01,799
Speaker 3: Mccaren.

1790
01:22:02,000 --> 01:22:04,439
Speaker 2: I mean, Jake Browne could have got hurt and then

1791
01:22:04,600 --> 01:22:06,280
Speaker 2: then you're really up the creek. But why do they

1792
01:22:06,280 --> 01:22:07,360
Speaker 2: we leave min so long?

1793
01:22:08,280 --> 01:22:09,800
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, I mean you leave him in so long

1794
01:22:09,880 --> 01:22:12,200
Speaker 4: because he's the starting quarterback. He's earned the right, like

1795
01:22:12,400 --> 01:22:14,000
Speaker 4: as the cat and you go down with the ship,

1796
01:22:14,600 --> 01:22:16,879
Speaker 4: and so they wanted him to go down with the Titanic.

1797
01:22:16,960 --> 01:22:18,439
Speaker 4: He was going down. You got to go down with

1798
01:22:18,600 --> 01:22:20,720
Speaker 4: You can't just jump off and get into one of

1799
01:22:20,760 --> 01:22:23,599
Speaker 4: those little dingies. No, that's not right. You gotta go down.

1800
01:22:24,160 --> 01:22:25,439
Speaker 1: You got to work everything.

1801
01:22:26,160 --> 01:22:28,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, he has to stand, he has to stand at

1802
01:22:28,240 --> 01:22:30,000
Speaker 4: the top of the thing with the music playing and

1803
01:22:30,080 --> 01:22:30,320
Speaker 4: all that.

1804
01:22:30,760 --> 01:22:33,720
Speaker 1: They kicked our butt and I made dumb decisions. That

1805
01:22:33,880 --> 01:22:37,680
Speaker 1: was his quote. Good job. I mean they played zone right,

1806
01:22:37,800 --> 01:22:39,439
Speaker 1: don't see a lot of zone with the squad, and

1807
01:22:39,640 --> 01:22:42,080
Speaker 1: with the number of safeties that they had to switch out.

1808
01:22:42,400 --> 01:22:46,800
Speaker 1: You got Peterson actually playing safety, mix and match and

1809
01:22:46,840 --> 01:22:49,920
Speaker 1: everything else. But I will start with that game as

1810
01:22:50,000 --> 01:22:52,719
Speaker 1: a whole, and Bucky'll I'll throw it to you first,

1811
01:22:53,120 --> 01:22:55,120
Speaker 1: you know, Mike Tomlin. I mean all we had was

1812
01:22:55,240 --> 01:22:59,520
Speaker 1: chatter all week everybody going through the lineage of wide receivers.

1813
01:23:00,040 --> 01:23:02,559
Speaker 1: Do you play on the edge with these guys? Great talents,

1814
01:23:02,680 --> 01:23:04,400
Speaker 1: but uh what should we say?

1815
01:23:04,680 --> 01:23:04,800
Speaker 10: Uh?

1816
01:23:05,000 --> 01:23:07,040
Speaker 1: Great personalities as well.

1817
01:23:07,640 --> 01:23:07,760
Speaker 10: Uh.

1818
01:23:07,880 --> 01:23:10,599
Speaker 1: And then George Pickens, he's off to the races running

1819
01:23:10,920 --> 01:23:13,240
Speaker 1: and look, how do you bet against Rudolph On on

1820
01:23:13,640 --> 01:23:14,719
Speaker 1: a Christmas weekend?

1821
01:23:17,479 --> 01:23:17,679
Speaker 10: Yeah?

1822
01:23:17,760 --> 01:23:21,320
Speaker 4: No, this is a It's one of the more fascinating things. Right.

1823
01:23:21,439 --> 01:23:24,400
Speaker 4: So the coaching me when it came to the George

1824
01:23:24,439 --> 01:23:28,000
Speaker 4: Pickens incident when he didn't block, and I guess give

1825
01:23:28,080 --> 01:23:30,760
Speaker 4: him credit for being forthright and and just telling us

1826
01:23:30,840 --> 01:23:31,519
Speaker 4: why he didn't.

1827
01:23:31,560 --> 01:23:34,040
Speaker 5: We asked a question, he gave answer, mad at him

1828
01:23:34,600 --> 01:23:35,679
Speaker 5: for his answer.

1829
01:23:36,280 --> 01:23:36,400
Speaker 9: Uh.

1830
01:23:36,920 --> 01:23:38,720
Speaker 4: The coaching me is like, hey man, you got to

1831
01:23:38,760 --> 01:23:41,120
Speaker 4: send a message to let him know that he has

1832
01:23:41,160 --> 01:23:43,599
Speaker 4: to participate. Effort is everything. So I was like, okay,

1833
01:23:43,720 --> 01:23:45,519
Speaker 4: do you sit him down? Do you make them inactive?

1834
01:23:45,960 --> 01:23:48,519
Speaker 4: What do you do? Tom was like, we'll handle it internally.

1835
01:23:49,080 --> 01:23:51,000
Speaker 4: And so then, I mean, you had any sat down?

1836
01:23:51,120 --> 01:23:55,000
Speaker 4: Good Pickens breaks off an eighty yard plan and you're like, yeah, okay,

1837
01:23:55,040 --> 01:23:56,479
Speaker 4: I see that's why they didn't cut him.

1838
01:23:56,680 --> 01:23:59,280
Speaker 1: That's why they didn't always there.

1839
01:23:59,360 --> 01:24:02,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, and then he makes another big play and finishes

1840
01:24:02,800 --> 01:24:05,840
Speaker 4: with during their two hundred yards and just dominates the game.

1841
01:24:05,920 --> 01:24:09,920
Speaker 4: You understand it. But I will say this about the Stellers.

1842
01:24:09,920 --> 01:24:12,439
Speaker 4: I'll say this about Mike Tomlin. They are always at

1843
01:24:12,479 --> 01:24:14,680
Speaker 4: their most dangerous when they're back into the corner and

1844
01:24:14,760 --> 01:24:17,280
Speaker 4: the world counts them out. The game that we saw

1845
01:24:17,360 --> 01:24:19,639
Speaker 4: from them yesterday is the game that we always expect

1846
01:24:19,680 --> 01:24:22,080
Speaker 4: to see from the Stillers. We saw the physicality, the toughness.

1847
01:24:22,479 --> 01:24:26,040
Speaker 4: They ran the ball effectively, and Mason Rudolph gave them

1848
01:24:26,080 --> 01:24:27,800
Speaker 4: something that they didn't have. He gave them a little

1849
01:24:27,800 --> 01:24:29,840
Speaker 4: feisty guy at the quarterback spot.

1850
01:24:31,600 --> 01:24:32,400
Speaker 3: Well, Jake Brownie.

1851
01:24:32,439 --> 01:24:33,960
Speaker 2: Look, I will say this, he did throw for three

1852
01:24:34,000 --> 01:24:35,839
Speaker 2: hundred and thirty five yeo, ology threw for a touchdown.

1853
01:24:35,920 --> 01:24:36,639
Speaker 3: He had three picks.

1854
01:24:36,680 --> 01:24:39,400
Speaker 2: But I think a lot of people are just forgetting

1855
01:24:39,439 --> 01:24:42,120
Speaker 2: the fact that he really missed Jamar Chase. That that's

1856
01:24:42,160 --> 01:24:44,040
Speaker 2: the key, miss Jamar Chase. But I'm gonna tell you

1857
01:24:44,120 --> 01:24:46,040
Speaker 2: this much, and I told this to Bucky earlier today.

1858
01:24:46,439 --> 01:24:48,519
Speaker 2: The one thing that kept on going over and over

1859
01:24:48,560 --> 01:24:50,840
Speaker 2: and over in my mind is what Jake Brownie said

1860
01:24:50,840 --> 01:24:53,599
Speaker 2: after the Bengals beat Minnesota last week and overtime, they

1861
01:24:53,720 --> 01:24:56,160
Speaker 2: never should have cut me, all right, And if I'm

1862
01:24:56,680 --> 01:24:58,840
Speaker 2: if I'm a member of the Minnesota Vikings, I'm watching

1863
01:24:58,880 --> 01:25:01,519
Speaker 2: that game on TV, I immediately go to social media.

1864
01:25:01,680 --> 01:25:03,880
Speaker 3: I said, yeah, we should have. I saw the way

1865
01:25:03,920 --> 01:25:04,759
Speaker 3: you played yesterday.

1866
01:25:05,280 --> 01:25:08,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, Unfortunately, the football gods do come back on you

1867
01:25:08,479 --> 01:25:09,439
Speaker 1: pretty fast sometimes.

1868
01:25:09,520 --> 01:25:09,680
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1869
01:25:10,280 --> 01:25:12,280
Speaker 1: Right, a little bit of a change up in defense.

1870
01:25:12,320 --> 01:25:14,800
Speaker 1: As we said, with all the injuries, the Steelers had

1871
01:25:15,840 --> 01:25:18,839
Speaker 1: kind of a mixed bag. I mean, Miles Jack gets activated.

1872
01:25:18,880 --> 01:25:21,960
Speaker 1: You got guys getting activated off the practice squad and

1873
01:25:22,360 --> 01:25:26,519
Speaker 1: creating turnovers and and all that stuff. I will it

1874
01:25:26,560 --> 01:25:29,400
Speaker 1: would be remiss, but I didn't point out Jalen Warren,

1875
01:25:29,800 --> 01:25:32,599
Speaker 1: who was very emphatic last week I'd blocked for anybody.

1876
01:25:33,640 --> 01:25:36,640
Speaker 1: He laid out the block of the week that I

1877
01:25:36,720 --> 01:25:40,160
Speaker 1: think everybody will see for a long time what he

1878
01:25:40,240 --> 01:25:44,280
Speaker 1: did on Jermaine Pratt. So that that's certainly all the

1879
01:25:44,360 --> 01:25:47,479
Speaker 1: little things that flow in, But just one counted out

1880
01:25:47,840 --> 01:25:51,400
Speaker 1: Steelers back in now. The percentage chance of getting into

1881
01:25:51,439 --> 01:25:55,800
Speaker 1: the playoffs certainly not high for them, but the opportunity

1882
01:25:55,880 --> 01:26:00,240
Speaker 1: to go and keep the seasons without a loose using

1883
01:26:00,360 --> 01:26:04,880
Speaker 1: season for Mike Tomlin is still in effect. And you know,

1884
01:26:05,000 --> 01:26:08,600
Speaker 1: we'll talk more about the the Vikings and their failures

1885
01:26:08,680 --> 01:26:12,240
Speaker 1: a week ago, you know, trying to do a push

1886
01:26:12,280 --> 01:26:15,760
Speaker 1: push with one hundred and forty pound guy behind the quarterback.

1887
01:26:15,840 --> 01:26:19,960
Speaker 1: But that's a whole other discussion. Point before the Bengals, Andy,

1888
01:26:20,160 --> 01:26:22,439
Speaker 1: I mean, what's the barometer there? I mean, people, I

1889
01:26:22,479 --> 01:26:22,720
Speaker 1: think it.

1890
01:26:23,920 --> 01:26:25,920
Speaker 2: Twelve percent to get into the place. Here's the question

1891
01:26:26,000 --> 01:26:28,040
Speaker 2: I have for both you gentlemen, because and you gentlemen,

1892
01:26:28,120 --> 01:26:31,600
Speaker 2: you really are you know, sometimes the storyline and the

1893
01:26:31,680 --> 01:26:34,880
Speaker 2: greatest Cincinnati area, well, you know, it was a good run,

1894
01:26:34,920 --> 01:26:36,559
Speaker 2: but we know that Joe Burrow was hurt. So we're

1895
01:26:36,600 --> 01:26:38,120
Speaker 2: not gonna go We're not gonna be that upsetting that

1896
01:26:38,120 --> 01:26:39,760
Speaker 2: getting in the playoffs. And I'm gonna say, wait a minute,

1897
01:26:40,040 --> 01:26:42,479
Speaker 2: Anthony Richardson went down. The Cults are eight and six.

1898
01:26:42,560 --> 01:26:44,240
Speaker 2: They got to shut their go to the playoffs. I mean,

1899
01:26:44,479 --> 01:26:46,840
Speaker 2: look at these teams and the Browns nine and five

1900
01:26:46,920 --> 01:26:49,840
Speaker 2: with Joe Flacco. I mean, come on, So that's not

1901
01:26:49,960 --> 01:26:53,759
Speaker 2: an entire excuse that you can use when your quarterback

1902
01:26:53,800 --> 01:26:54,160
Speaker 2: goes down.

1903
01:26:54,280 --> 01:26:55,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's bad.

1904
01:26:55,360 --> 01:26:57,960
Speaker 2: It's a bad situation when you're starting quarterback goes down.

1905
01:26:58,160 --> 01:26:59,680
Speaker 2: But it's not the end of the world. And there

1906
01:26:59,720 --> 01:27:02,519
Speaker 2: are teams that have survived and one with a backup

1907
01:27:02,600 --> 01:27:05,120
Speaker 2: quarterback and gone to the playoffs. So I'm not gonna

1908
01:27:05,120 --> 01:27:08,360
Speaker 2: buy that excuse that Joe Burrow went down so forget

1909
01:27:08,400 --> 01:27:09,080
Speaker 2: about the season.

1910
01:27:09,200 --> 01:27:10,360
Speaker 3: No, that's not the case.

1911
01:27:10,600 --> 01:27:12,600
Speaker 1: I would say that I would add to this for

1912
01:27:12,760 --> 01:27:15,080
Speaker 1: Zach Taylor. The first question I'd be asking is how

1913
01:27:15,120 --> 01:27:17,040
Speaker 1: come you guys haven't been able to win a game

1914
01:27:17,120 --> 01:27:18,920
Speaker 1: in division to five?

1915
01:27:20,200 --> 01:27:21,360
Speaker 3: Amazing on five?

1916
01:27:22,360 --> 01:27:26,519
Speaker 4: Well, I would say the tough thing about division opponents, uh,

1917
01:27:26,720 --> 01:27:29,840
Speaker 4: familiarity because you play them so much, no one knows

1918
01:27:29,880 --> 01:27:30,599
Speaker 4: you'd like your division.

1919
01:27:30,960 --> 01:27:33,280
Speaker 1: The margins go out the window when you Yeah, so

1920
01:27:33,520 --> 01:27:34,720
Speaker 1: QB one to QB two.

1921
01:27:35,520 --> 01:27:38,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, So, Mike Mike Tomlin had talked about, he talked

1922
01:27:38,240 --> 01:27:41,240
Speaker 4: about he used the word intimate, how there's intimate knowledge

1923
01:27:41,320 --> 01:27:44,479
Speaker 4: of how they they they attack and how they wanted

1924
01:27:44,479 --> 01:27:46,800
Speaker 4: to be on the attack offensively because they played them

1925
01:27:46,880 --> 01:27:50,320
Speaker 4: so much. I think with Zach Taylor, maybe it's the

1926
01:27:50,360 --> 01:27:52,560
Speaker 4: first time you've had an opportunity, if you're out of

1927
01:27:52,600 --> 01:27:56,720
Speaker 4: the division, opportunity to see his his scheme and his

1928
01:27:56,840 --> 01:27:59,479
Speaker 4: scheme with the quarterback in place. Well, if you're a

1929
01:27:59,520 --> 01:28:03,600
Speaker 4: pisper Cleveland, Baltimore, you understand the ins and outs of

1930
01:28:03,640 --> 01:28:05,200
Speaker 4: the scheme, and now you're just trying to put the

1931
01:28:05,200 --> 01:28:08,360
Speaker 4: pieces of the puzzle together. Ay, when Jake Browning is in,

1932
01:28:08,520 --> 01:28:10,840
Speaker 4: they don't run this part of the package. They just

1933
01:28:10,920 --> 01:28:15,479
Speaker 4: run this little, small, little menu. So let's focus on

1934
01:28:15,640 --> 01:28:18,080
Speaker 4: these things and know that they don't have that. The

1935
01:28:18,200 --> 01:28:19,800
Speaker 4: other thing, and I would say the thing that was

1936
01:28:19,880 --> 01:28:23,000
Speaker 4: probably the biggest reason why Jake Grinning didn't play. When

1937
01:28:23,000 --> 01:28:27,280
Speaker 4: you take Jamar Chase out of that lineup, you would think, Okay,

1938
01:28:27,320 --> 01:28:28,880
Speaker 4: it's a big piece, but it's not that big of

1939
01:28:28,880 --> 01:28:29,160
Speaker 4: a piece.

1940
01:28:29,200 --> 01:28:30,400
Speaker 5: They should be able to do it because you have

1941
01:28:30,439 --> 01:28:31,639
Speaker 5: T Higgins and Tyler Boyd.

1942
01:28:32,200 --> 01:28:34,679
Speaker 4: But when you take him, because he's clearly the number

1943
01:28:34,720 --> 01:28:38,080
Speaker 4: one receiver, well now it resets the pecking order. So

1944
01:28:38,200 --> 01:28:41,840
Speaker 4: now T Higgins gets the number one attention, meaning that

1945
01:28:41,960 --> 01:28:44,360
Speaker 4: they have all eyes on him, and they double team

1946
01:28:44,439 --> 01:28:47,240
Speaker 4: and sin and everyone's paying attention to number five and

1947
01:28:47,360 --> 01:28:49,840
Speaker 4: it goes elsewhere. When you took him out the lineup,

1948
01:28:49,840 --> 01:28:52,280
Speaker 4: I think it made life difficult for Jake Brownie. That's

1949
01:28:52,280 --> 01:28:52,840
Speaker 4: why they didn't play.

1950
01:28:52,840 --> 01:28:55,400
Speaker 2: Well while going stuff further, they had no running game

1951
01:28:55,400 --> 01:28:57,360
Speaker 2: against Pittsburgh. I mean, there comes a point in time

1952
01:28:57,400 --> 01:28:59,320
Speaker 2: when the coach got to say, I throw my hands up.

1953
01:28:59,320 --> 01:29:01,680
Speaker 2: We can't run against this team. They lost to them

1954
01:29:01,680 --> 01:29:04,599
Speaker 2: earlier this season, they ran for thirty yards thirty rushing guys.

1955
01:29:04,640 --> 01:29:06,840
Speaker 2: The first time they played yesterday they run against them

1956
01:29:06,840 --> 01:29:08,599
Speaker 2: fifty nine yards. You know, you got to throw your

1957
01:29:08,600 --> 01:29:10,559
Speaker 2: hands up and say, look, we can't run against them.

1958
01:29:10,600 --> 01:29:12,880
Speaker 2: We need a different scheme, you know, screens, whatever it

1959
01:29:12,960 --> 01:29:15,280
Speaker 2: may be, but we're not going to run against these guys.

1960
01:29:15,400 --> 01:29:17,519
Speaker 2: And he proved it to the world when they were

1961
01:29:17,600 --> 01:29:20,040
Speaker 2: fourth in inches on the goal, fourth in inches and

1962
01:29:20,120 --> 01:29:22,360
Speaker 2: they went for it, but they passed the football instead

1963
01:29:22,360 --> 01:29:24,800
Speaker 2: of running the football. That to me was ridiculous, but

1964
01:29:25,040 --> 01:29:27,280
Speaker 2: it proved to the world. He admitted he can't run

1965
01:29:27,320 --> 01:29:28,519
Speaker 2: against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

1966
01:29:28,800 --> 01:29:31,320
Speaker 1: You know, me, I love bully ball in those situations.

1967
01:29:31,360 --> 01:29:33,840
Speaker 1: I don't like fades and all that other nonsense. Let

1968
01:29:33,920 --> 01:29:36,200
Speaker 1: me beat you up at the line of scrimmage and

1969
01:29:36,360 --> 01:29:39,240
Speaker 1: figure out how to scheme that up. Mason Rudolph the

1970
01:29:39,400 --> 01:29:42,799
Speaker 1: fifty eighth starting quarterback of the year in the National

1971
01:29:42,880 --> 01:29:45,719
Speaker 1: Football League, and to just go back to that side

1972
01:29:45,720 --> 01:29:49,240
Speaker 1: of the ball. Bucky a guy who clearly went out

1973
01:29:49,280 --> 01:29:52,920
Speaker 1: there and I always use the phrase no conscience. He

1974
01:29:53,080 --> 01:29:54,479
Speaker 1: was just gonna put the ball up and let his

1975
01:29:54,560 --> 01:29:58,600
Speaker 1: playmakers go to work, something that the other Steeler quarterbacks

1976
01:29:59,080 --> 01:29:59,920
Speaker 1: usually reticent to.

1977
01:30:01,479 --> 01:30:04,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, let's get Mason Rudolph a lot of credit. He

1978
01:30:04,120 --> 01:30:06,880
Speaker 4: had to sit there, and man, you know, there's nothing

1979
01:30:06,960 --> 01:30:10,360
Speaker 4: that probably burns more than to sit there and watch

1980
01:30:10,439 --> 01:30:13,479
Speaker 4: Mitch Trubisky come in and take your job, like, not

1981
01:30:13,600 --> 01:30:15,479
Speaker 4: only take the starting job, but come in and be

1982
01:30:15,560 --> 01:30:17,960
Speaker 4: the backup that they primarily are using. Win. In your mind,

1983
01:30:18,000 --> 01:30:20,879
Speaker 4: you're like, what has he accomplished that I couldn't accomplish

1984
01:30:20,920 --> 01:30:23,320
Speaker 4: it if I had more opportunities. And to his credit,

1985
01:30:23,400 --> 01:30:26,280
Speaker 4: when Mason Rudolph had opportunity, he took the practice week,

1986
01:30:27,640 --> 01:30:30,960
Speaker 4: really dug into the game plan and was aggressive. He

1987
01:30:31,120 --> 01:30:34,519
Speaker 4: was decisive. The ball came out, he threw it on time,

1988
01:30:34,680 --> 01:30:37,720
Speaker 4: on target, and he had a little bit of that

1989
01:30:37,840 --> 01:30:42,040
Speaker 4: Pittsburgh edge that their quarterback has to have. Mister Trubisky

1990
01:30:42,120 --> 01:30:45,360
Speaker 4: doesn't have that Kenny Pickett does. Mister Trubisky doesn't have

1991
01:30:45,560 --> 01:30:50,080
Speaker 4: that Pittsburgh edginess to him. Mason Rudolph because he's been

1992
01:30:50,120 --> 01:30:53,000
Speaker 4: there for so long, there with Big Ben and all

1993
01:30:53,040 --> 01:30:56,240
Speaker 4: that other stuff. I think he's developed a little bit

1994
01:30:56,280 --> 01:30:58,160
Speaker 4: of that, and some of that comes from the callouses

1995
01:30:58,600 --> 01:31:00,840
Speaker 4: that you have to develop when things are hard for you.

1996
01:31:01,160 --> 01:31:04,559
Speaker 3: Well, the question does does Mason Rudolph start next week?

1997
01:31:04,640 --> 01:31:05,040
Speaker 1: He should?

1998
01:31:06,040 --> 01:31:07,800
Speaker 4: I agree, I think that's in. I think that's a

1999
01:31:07,880 --> 01:31:09,080
Speaker 4: no brain. I think it starts.

2000
01:31:09,240 --> 01:31:11,200
Speaker 1: I mean they could say everything they need to and

2001
01:31:11,360 --> 01:31:14,280
Speaker 1: and couch it and all that, but given what that

2002
01:31:14,439 --> 01:31:17,880
Speaker 1: offense did, I don't see how you can't, Bucky.

2003
01:31:18,040 --> 01:31:20,519
Speaker 3: But there's rule in the National Football League you don't

2004
01:31:20,520 --> 01:31:22,160
Speaker 3: lose your job for injury. Remember that rule?

2005
01:31:22,200 --> 01:31:22,360
Speaker 4: Buck?

2006
01:31:22,520 --> 01:31:22,680
Speaker 6: Yeah?

2007
01:31:22,720 --> 01:31:24,200
Speaker 1: That that rule has long been dead.

2008
01:31:24,560 --> 01:31:29,639
Speaker 4: Yes, ever doesn't everyone doesn't. Doesn't exist. Is about production

2009
01:31:29,720 --> 01:31:34,760
Speaker 4: and wherever gets us holding a hump to win? Yeah?

2010
01:31:34,880 --> 01:31:38,599
Speaker 4: That would that would You would be foolish to remove him.

2011
01:31:38,640 --> 01:31:41,000
Speaker 4: You scored thirty points, You had a tough time getting

2012
01:31:41,000 --> 01:31:43,200
Speaker 4: to twenty for most of the season. You have an

2013
01:31:43,280 --> 01:31:47,120
Speaker 4: offensive explosion in the first half. Yeah, I think I

2014
01:31:47,200 --> 01:31:48,040
Speaker 4: think you stick with that.

2015
01:31:48,560 --> 01:31:50,519
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I think you roll with that. And

2016
01:31:50,640 --> 01:31:52,439
Speaker 1: and I like the way you you kind of were

2017
01:31:52,520 --> 01:31:55,639
Speaker 1: like staring me down when you went after Mitchell Trubisky.

2018
01:31:55,680 --> 01:31:57,679
Speaker 1: Did you feel that it was not just me? Andy?

2019
01:31:58,080 --> 01:32:00,640
Speaker 1: It felt like he was going and personally attacking me

2020
01:32:01,040 --> 01:32:05,320
Speaker 1: because of Mitchell hiskey's history in Chicago. I felt seen

2021
01:32:05,439 --> 01:32:07,439
Speaker 1: there in a way that I hadn't in a while.

2022
01:32:07,680 --> 01:32:11,080
Speaker 1: It's Andy Furman over there at Andy Ferman FSR, Bucky

2023
01:32:11,120 --> 01:32:14,680
Speaker 1: Brooks at Bucky Brooks. You find me over at Swollen Dome.

2024
01:32:14,720 --> 01:32:17,240
Speaker 1: We're just getting warmed up. Coming up next, we'll go

2025
01:32:17,400 --> 01:32:20,800
Speaker 1: to the night game. It was expected to be a

2026
01:32:20,880 --> 01:32:23,879
Speaker 1: huge blow up, but funny things happen when you change coaches,

2027
01:32:24,160 --> 01:32:26,599
Speaker 1: you know, and players still need to play some football,

2028
01:32:26,800 --> 01:32:30,080
Speaker 1: and we'll celebrate the MVP of that game, and we'll

2029
01:32:30,200 --> 01:32:32,400
Speaker 1: talk MVP on a larger level because we still have

2030
01:32:32,400 --> 01:32:34,400
Speaker 1: a couple of games to go. It's Week sixteen of

2031
01:32:34,479 --> 01:32:38,120
Speaker 1: your National Football League season. Merry Christmas, Stay with us.

2032
01:32:38,240 --> 01:32:41,800
Speaker 1: We're getting warmed up here on Fox Football Sunday. Hey,

2033
01:32:41,920 --> 01:32:45,160
Speaker 1: welcome back in Fox Football Sunday. Here Fox Sports Radio

2034
01:32:45,240 --> 01:32:49,599
Speaker 1: Mike Carmon alongside Andy Furman Bucky Brooks. Check out their

2035
01:32:49,880 --> 01:32:53,599
Speaker 1: Twitter pages for everything they got popping at Bucky Brooks

2036
01:32:53,720 --> 01:32:59,240
Speaker 1: at Andy Furman FSR. The columns, the appearances, everything that's

2037
01:32:59,320 --> 01:33:03,320
Speaker 1: going on in their respective worlds. For mine, just random rants,

2038
01:33:03,920 --> 01:33:07,880
Speaker 1: even against my own teams, perhaps even more vociferously in

2039
01:33:07,960 --> 01:33:10,920
Speaker 1: those situations, you know, like what a quarterback clearly has

2040
01:33:11,000 --> 01:33:16,080
Speaker 1: a a concussion like effect off a hit, you know,

2041
01:33:16,160 --> 01:33:19,880
Speaker 1: say a Northwestern quarterback who has some of the same

2042
01:33:20,040 --> 01:33:22,559
Speaker 1: symptoms on the field as to a tongue Bailoa had

2043
01:33:22,600 --> 01:33:24,800
Speaker 1: a year ago, and then five minutes later he's back

2044
01:33:24,840 --> 01:33:29,000
Speaker 1: out on the field throwing dimes. Congratulations to Bryant's, Congratulations

2045
01:33:29,040 --> 01:33:31,720
Speaker 1: to the Northwestern Wildcats. But yeah, that's the kind of

2046
01:33:31,760 --> 01:33:35,000
Speaker 1: stuff you get, as well as random pop culture observations.

2047
01:33:36,080 --> 01:33:38,920
Speaker 1: And we had the promo plan where I was in

2048
01:33:39,080 --> 01:33:44,960
Speaker 1: the producer's studio with Shay and Mark. Thanks thankful for

2049
01:33:45,080 --> 01:33:48,160
Speaker 1: them being up and rolling with us this morning. And Andy,

2050
01:33:49,120 --> 01:33:52,720
Speaker 1: you know you commented on the timing. You know what

2051
01:33:52,880 --> 01:33:56,639
Speaker 1: the AI the system that does. As we were talking

2052
01:33:56,720 --> 01:34:01,519
Speaker 1: about Jake Browning and his performance and my guy Jason Smith,

2053
01:34:01,640 --> 01:34:04,759
Speaker 1: you know, because the show is in that moment talking

2054
01:34:04,800 --> 01:34:08,599
Speaker 1: about the rise of Browning and his opportunity, I'm like, Wow,

2055
01:34:08,680 --> 01:34:10,680
Speaker 1: that couldn't have been timed any worse, now, could it.

2056
01:34:11,760 --> 01:34:14,240
Speaker 2: Well, I will say this, I don't think Jason's alone

2057
01:34:14,280 --> 01:34:15,760
Speaker 2: in that. I think everybody felt that way. I think

2058
01:34:15,840 --> 01:34:17,760
Speaker 2: probably even the coaching staff felt that way. But they

2059
01:34:17,840 --> 01:34:21,280
Speaker 2: adapted Jake Browning to the personnel that he had. He

2060
01:34:21,840 --> 01:34:24,120
Speaker 2: was not Joe Burrow and Bucky made mentioned of this

2061
01:34:24,240 --> 01:34:26,400
Speaker 2: earlier today. You know, the first game he had a

2062
01:34:26,439 --> 01:34:29,040
Speaker 2: little bit of a rough spot, but they pulled back

2063
01:34:29,080 --> 01:34:31,320
Speaker 2: that offense. They made it more comfortable for Jake Browning

2064
01:34:31,439 --> 01:34:33,320
Speaker 2: and they did well. You know, they ran the football,

2065
01:34:33,400 --> 01:34:36,519
Speaker 2: they throw screens and things like that, and it was

2066
01:34:36,600 --> 01:34:38,160
Speaker 2: a different sort of Jake Browning.

2067
01:34:38,240 --> 01:34:38,439
Speaker 3: Look.

2068
01:34:38,640 --> 01:34:40,880
Speaker 2: But there's a reason why he has never been a

2069
01:34:40,920 --> 01:34:43,320
Speaker 2: starting quarterback in the National Football League, and we saw

2070
01:34:43,400 --> 01:34:46,960
Speaker 2: that yesterday. Poor decisions, can't handle pressure, things like that.

2071
01:34:47,320 --> 01:34:50,519
Speaker 2: I mean, he had some great players surrounding him. And again,

2072
01:34:50,600 --> 01:34:53,920
Speaker 2: with Jamar not playing yesterday, that's a big loss, a

2073
01:34:54,040 --> 01:34:54,880
Speaker 2: tremendous loss.

2074
01:34:56,360 --> 01:34:58,479

Speaker 1: the Saturday Night Game.

2083
01:35:21,800 --> 01:35:24,519
Speaker 4: Have you ever been victimized by miss buelergle O? God?

2084
01:35:24,960 --> 01:35:25,880
Speaker 7: What to the right?

2085
01:35:26,640 --> 01:35:31,720
Speaker 4: God? My name is Camer Dicker, and I'll kick for you.

2086
01:35:35,840 --> 01:35:43,559
Speaker 4: Fifty forty thirty doesn't matter. I'll make it. Rainsleeder snow,

2087
01:35:43,800 --> 01:35:44,760
Speaker 4: this lake is ready to go.

2088
01:35:47,479 --> 01:35:49,800
Speaker 1: There you go. That's his Hey, get me to the

2089
01:35:49,880 --> 01:35:53,280
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl campaign video. You kind of like we have

2090
01:35:53,479 --> 01:35:56,920
Speaker 1: with either political campaigns or certainly no matter where you

2091
01:35:57,040 --> 01:36:00,240
Speaker 1: are in the country, you've got that accident attorney that's

2092
01:36:00,280 --> 01:36:04,560
Speaker 1: on your radio dial or on your television with some regularity.

2093
01:36:05,240 --> 01:36:08,240
Speaker 1: Forty five of forty seven for his career, ninety five

2094
01:36:08,680 --> 01:36:11,599
Speaker 1: point seven percent almost got him over the hump against

2095
01:36:11,640 --> 01:36:15,960
Speaker 1: the Bills. I liked what Josh Allen said after the games,

2096
01:36:16,000 --> 01:36:18,680
Speaker 1: like they gave us everything that he could. You never

2097
01:36:18,760 --> 01:36:22,240
Speaker 1: know what happens in a coaching change, but Bucky twelve

2098
01:36:22,280 --> 01:36:25,680
Speaker 1: points spread, it's the old succeed in proceed doesn't have

2099
01:36:25,800 --> 01:36:31,800
Speaker 1: to be pretty, just get a victory. I think we've

2100
01:36:31,840 --> 01:36:34,960
Speaker 1: lost Bucky, Andy, we go back. Let's talk about so,

2101
01:36:35,040 --> 01:36:35,760
Speaker 1: let's talk about her.

2102
01:36:36,439 --> 01:36:38,320
Speaker 3: I heard that quote that you said about Josh Allen.

2103
01:36:38,360 --> 01:36:38,920
Speaker 3: We gave everything.

2104
01:36:38,960 --> 01:36:41,960
Speaker 2: But no, no, it's Josh Allen saying that we gave

2105
01:36:42,280 --> 01:36:46,080
Speaker 2: the Charges everything because the Bills lost a turnover battle.

2106
01:36:46,280 --> 01:36:48,639
Speaker 2: The Bills lost the time of possession, and the Bills

2107
01:36:48,680 --> 01:36:51,559
Speaker 2: lost the battle while committing seven penalties for about sixty

2108
01:36:51,600 --> 01:36:54,560
Speaker 2: five yards. And the funny thing is that normally you

2109
01:36:54,640 --> 01:36:56,719
Speaker 2: could look at the turnovers and it was three zip.

2110
01:36:57,000 --> 01:36:59,120
Speaker 2: The turnovers basically could tell the difference of the ballgame

2111
01:36:59,240 --> 01:37:00,559
Speaker 2: and the Bill still this game.

2112
01:37:00,680 --> 01:37:02,960
Speaker 1: That's winning problem, right.

2113
01:37:03,080 --> 01:37:05,400
Speaker 3: They didn't deserve to win. They gave him the game.

2114
01:37:05,680 --> 01:37:08,200
Speaker 2: Tylet Bassett that field goal with about twenty eight seconds

2115
01:37:08,240 --> 01:37:10,479
Speaker 2: to go, a twenty nine yet field goal. But Dicker

2116
01:37:10,560 --> 01:37:13,320
Speaker 2: the kicker, had three fourth quarter field goals. He was

2117
01:37:13,360 --> 01:37:14,240
Speaker 2: in fat the MVP.

2118
01:37:14,439 --> 01:37:19,040
Speaker 1: I think in that ball game, Bucky, we got you back.

2119
01:37:20,320 --> 01:37:22,400
Speaker 1: I'm talking a little bit of a well no, I mean,

2120
01:37:22,960 --> 01:37:27,400
Speaker 1: you know the technology. The gremlins are out. I thought sometimes, No, well,

2121
01:37:27,960 --> 01:37:30,120
Speaker 1: gremlins are out. Not to mention, there's a lot of

2122
01:37:30,200 --> 01:37:33,599
Speaker 1: power being spent on NORAD right now. Trying to track

2123
01:37:33,680 --> 01:37:36,880
Speaker 1: the whereabouts of Santa Claus as we get ready for today. So,

2124
01:37:37,000 --> 01:37:38,000
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, you never know.

2125
01:37:38,840 --> 01:37:40,960
Speaker 4: It's a big day to day, big day to day

2126
01:37:41,320 --> 01:37:41,880
Speaker 4: hundred percent.

2127
01:37:42,160 --> 01:37:44,080
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean, the Chargers give a big effort,

2128
01:37:44,120 --> 01:37:47,120
Speaker 1: but the Bills win. I was shocked we didn't see more,

2129
01:37:47,560 --> 01:37:50,080
Speaker 1: at least in the passing game. James Cook had been

2130
01:37:50,200 --> 01:37:52,760
Speaker 1: such a force the last few weeks. He was a

2131
01:37:52,840 --> 01:37:56,320
Speaker 1: non factor and suddenly we get the game Davis. Hey,

2132
01:37:56,400 --> 01:37:58,920
Speaker 1: there's that game he gives you every month where suddenly

2133
01:37:59,000 --> 01:37:59,519
Speaker 1: he's elite.

2134
01:38:01,520 --> 01:38:04,639
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, it is funny about that. The Bills

2135
01:38:04,680 --> 01:38:08,040
Speaker 4: have leaned into a different approach with Joe Brady. They've

2136
01:38:08,080 --> 01:38:10,200
Speaker 4: been running the ball more, they've been operating under the

2137
01:38:10,280 --> 01:38:12,439
Speaker 4: center more. They've been trying to make the game easy

2138
01:38:12,520 --> 01:38:16,080
Speaker 4: for the quarterback by lightening his load, meaning they're putting

2139
01:38:16,080 --> 01:38:18,639
Speaker 4: it on other parts of the offense to get it done.

2140
01:38:18,640 --> 01:38:19,559
Speaker 5: They're running games.

2141
01:38:19,360 --> 01:38:21,479
Speaker 4: Specifically because when you look at the Bills and how

2142
01:38:21,520 --> 01:38:24,000
Speaker 4: they're constructed, this is a team that is built to

2143
01:38:24,200 --> 01:38:26,320
Speaker 4: run the football when you look at their offensive line.

2144
01:38:26,720 --> 01:38:29,799
Speaker 4: But by running the football, it then allows Josh Allen

2145
01:38:29,840 --> 01:38:32,400
Speaker 4: to be able to attack differently down to field, and

2146
01:38:32,520 --> 01:38:34,519
Speaker 4: so we're really used to seeing them kind of be

2147
01:38:34,600 --> 01:38:36,519
Speaker 4: the one man show with Stefan Diggs. But I think

2148
01:38:36,520 --> 01:38:39,280
Speaker 4: Stepan Diggs is going to six games, maybe six games

2149
01:38:39,320 --> 01:38:42,519
Speaker 4: in a row without having over one hundred yards, and

2150
01:38:42,640 --> 01:38:44,879
Speaker 4: so they've been able to use him as a decoy.

2151
01:38:45,040 --> 01:38:47,479
Speaker 4: But then other parts of the team had to step up.

2152
01:38:47,520 --> 01:38:50,400
Speaker 4: So we've seen James Cook have big weeks, like with

2153
01:38:50,600 --> 01:38:53,519
Speaker 4: three weeks in a row, and so now that catches

2154
01:38:53,600 --> 01:38:56,080
Speaker 4: the attention of defensive coordinator. So now you change your

2155
01:38:56,160 --> 01:38:59,080
Speaker 4: defense to take him away. So we got to take Digs.

2156
01:38:59,120 --> 01:39:01,640
Speaker 4: I got to stop Cooks. Well, now that makes it

2157
01:39:01,760 --> 01:39:04,120
Speaker 4: easy for Gabe Davis to get off. And as long

2158
01:39:04,160 --> 01:39:06,120
Speaker 4: as they're able to continue the problem solve and have

2159
01:39:06,280 --> 01:39:09,120
Speaker 4: ready made answers, the game will continue to be easy

2160
01:39:09,200 --> 01:39:09,800
Speaker 4: for Josh Allen.

2161
01:39:09,920 --> 01:39:12,840
Speaker 1: All right, let me circle back quickly before we get

2162
01:39:12,920 --> 01:39:16,400
Speaker 1: to our update with Kevin Wyret. The Thursday game and

2163
01:39:16,520 --> 01:39:20,000
Speaker 1: the Rams taking down the Saints Saints lifeless for a

2164
01:39:20,040 --> 01:39:22,000
Speaker 1: good chunk of the early part of the game made

2165
01:39:22,000 --> 01:39:24,479
Speaker 1: it interesting. And then you know me, I always hate

2166
01:39:24,560 --> 01:39:27,000
Speaker 1: the on side kick effort. You know, when you can

2167
01:39:27,040 --> 01:39:30,439
Speaker 1: go play some defense when your defense actually showed up

2168
01:39:30,439 --> 01:39:32,599
Speaker 1: a little bit in the second half. But hey, that's

2169
01:39:32,720 --> 01:39:35,840
Speaker 1: just me go for the low percentage play. Good job,

2170
01:39:35,920 --> 01:39:39,400
Speaker 1: Dennis Allen. But the Rams, how dangerous are they? Andy?

2171
01:39:39,439 --> 01:39:40,160
Speaker 1: I go to you first.

2172
01:39:40,200 --> 01:39:42,000
Speaker 3: I think they're real dangerous right now. They got a

2173
01:39:42,000 --> 01:39:43,840
Speaker 3: great offense situation. You know what the key is there.

2174
01:39:44,200 --> 01:39:46,400
Speaker 3: Matthew Stafford's healthy. That's the key right now.

2175
01:39:46,600 --> 01:39:49,320
Speaker 2: And look, the Saints came back and they beat the Giants,

2176
01:39:49,320 --> 01:39:50,439
Speaker 2: so we could go twenty four to six.

2177
01:39:50,600 --> 01:39:52,960
Speaker 3: They're not that good. They're really not that good. They're

2178
01:39:52,960 --> 01:39:53,960
Speaker 3: not a good football team.

2179
01:39:54,000 --> 01:39:57,519
Speaker 2: And I can't understand why because they got guys like

2180
01:39:57,760 --> 01:40:00,439
Speaker 2: Ava Kamara on this ball club. They got a a

2181
01:40:00,520 --> 01:40:04,000
Speaker 2: great receiving corps. I guess it's the quarterback. Derek Carr

2182
01:40:04,080 --> 01:40:06,479
Speaker 2: is not that good. That's the end of the story, right,

2183
01:40:06,680 --> 01:40:09,040
Speaker 2: fucking am I corrupt? Derek Carr is not that good.

2184
01:40:09,240 --> 01:40:11,960
Speaker 2: This team, with the people that they have on offense,

2185
01:40:12,120 --> 01:40:13,640
Speaker 2: should be better than this seven and eight run.

2186
01:40:13,720 --> 01:40:13,840
Speaker 4: Well.

2187
01:40:13,840 --> 01:40:15,880
Speaker 1: The only guy less effective in the red zone the

2188
01:40:15,960 --> 01:40:17,800
Speaker 1: last two years of sitting in the booth, and that's

2189
01:40:17,840 --> 01:40:18,360
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan.

2190
01:40:20,200 --> 01:40:21,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean that's what it is.

2191
01:40:23,240 --> 01:40:26,679
Speaker 2: I mean, come on, you got some top notch offensive players,

2192
01:40:26,920 --> 01:40:28,400
Speaker 2: but Derek Carr is not going to get done.

2193
01:40:29,040 --> 01:40:30,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's not even about him being good. I don't

2194
01:40:30,800 --> 01:40:34,040
Speaker 4: know if he's a fit. Just the incidents that we've

2195
01:40:34,080 --> 01:40:36,920
Speaker 4: seen on the sideline, like him trying to argue with

2196
01:40:37,000 --> 01:40:40,280
Speaker 4: some of the players and you know, the young wide receivers.

2197
01:40:40,560 --> 01:40:42,880
Speaker 4: I don't know if he's there kind of guy. You know,

2198
01:40:43,520 --> 01:40:45,800
Speaker 4: and there has to be trust before you can start

2199
01:40:45,880 --> 01:40:48,559
Speaker 4: barking back and forth at one another. I know Dennis

2200
01:40:48,560 --> 01:40:50,120
Speaker 4: Allen's all in on Derek Carr, but I don't know

2201
01:40:50,120 --> 01:40:52,519
Speaker 4: if the rest of that team is all in on

2202
01:40:52,600 --> 01:40:54,920
Speaker 4: the quarterback. And look, his numbers at the end of

2203
01:40:55,000 --> 01:40:57,280
Speaker 4: the day looked great, but they weren't impactful because they

2204
01:40:57,320 --> 01:40:59,040
Speaker 4: had little to do with the outcome of the game.

2205
01:41:01,720 --> 01:41:04,360
Speaker 4: I'll say this about the Rams. Their ability to run

2206
01:41:04,439 --> 01:41:06,560
Speaker 4: the football makes them dangerous because they can run the

2207
01:41:06,600 --> 01:41:10,640
Speaker 4: football and control the game. That allows Matthew Stafford to

2208
01:41:10,680 --> 01:41:12,679
Speaker 4: then push the ball down the field off play action.

2209
01:41:13,120 --> 01:41:16,760
Speaker 4: They have interchangeable white house in Pooka Nakua and Cooper Cup,

2210
01:41:16,840 --> 01:41:18,559
Speaker 4: meaning they can do the same things.

2211
01:41:18,600 --> 01:41:20,240
Speaker 5: They can move them around. It doesn't matter.

2212
01:41:20,560 --> 01:41:21,960
Speaker 4: One guy can go to the right, the other guy

2213
01:41:22,000 --> 01:41:23,760
Speaker 4: can left, and they can do the same responsibilities.

2214
01:41:24,160 --> 01:41:25,439
Speaker 5: They're a very dangerous team.

2215
01:41:25,840 --> 01:41:28,240
Speaker 4: They will win and they will continue to win if

2216
01:41:28,320 --> 01:41:30,000
Speaker 4: their offense can dictate the terms.

2217
01:41:30,080 --> 01:41:31,880
Speaker 5: And as long as their offense can dictate the terms,

2218
01:41:31,920 --> 01:41:32,479
Speaker 5: they're hard out.

2219
01:41:32,760 --> 01:41:35,400
Speaker 1: Just remember, before he started talking about science and all

2220
01:41:35,439 --> 01:41:37,439
Speaker 1: sorts of other things, the only thing you'd ever get

2221
01:41:37,520 --> 01:41:40,639
Speaker 1: interesting out of Aaron Rodgers was his love of Matthew Stafford.

2222
01:41:42,040 --> 01:41:44,240
Speaker 1: Always talked about as the you know, the guy he

2223
01:41:44,360 --> 01:41:47,920
Speaker 1: wanted to watch, right, even when super talented.

2224
01:41:48,720 --> 01:41:51,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's super talented. I think everyone has seen how

2225
01:41:51,240 --> 01:41:53,920
Speaker 4: talented he is. There was never a question about his talent.

2226
01:41:54,520 --> 01:41:57,479
Speaker 4: It was more so about everything else around him in Detroit.

2227
01:41:57,880 --> 01:42:00,360
Speaker 4: But remember there was conversations when he was in Detroit

2228
01:42:00,360 --> 01:42:03,120
Speaker 4: about being an MVP candidate. That's how well he had played.

2229
01:42:04,080 --> 01:42:06,639
Speaker 4: He's playing really well right now for Sean McVay. He's

2230
01:42:06,680 --> 01:42:07,400
Speaker 4: a talented guy.

2231
01:42:07,840 --> 01:42:08,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, at least.

2232
01:42:08,800 --> 01:42:12,559
Speaker 1: Healthy, healthy and upright, and he's got a guy that well,

2233
01:42:12,640 --> 01:42:15,000
Speaker 1: let's talk a little bit of MVP because that running back.

2234
01:42:15,439 --> 01:42:17,280
Speaker 1: If he hadn't missed a couple of games, we might

2235
01:42:17,320 --> 01:42:19,240
Speaker 1: be talking about him a little bit. That's Andy Ferman.

2236
01:42:19,280 --> 01:42:21,320
Speaker 1: There's Bucky Brooks out by Carmen. Now, let's kick it

2237
01:42:21,360 --> 01:42:23,320
Speaker 1: over to our guy, Kevin Wyre get an update of

2238
01:42:23,400 --> 01:42:27,280
Speaker 1: what's happening in the overnight NFL doubleheader action on Saturday

2239
01:42:27,360 --> 01:42:30,519
Speaker 1: really shook up the AFC playoff standings. The Bills hold

2240
01:42:30,560 --> 01:42:32,960
Speaker 1: off the Chargers twenty four to twenty two, as Buffalo

2241
01:42:33,080 --> 01:42:36,080
Speaker 1: improves to nine and six on the season, and they

2242
01:42:36,160 --> 01:42:40,440
Speaker 1: now occupy the number six position in the AFC playoff standings.

2243
01:42:40,479 --> 01:42:42,759
Speaker 1: That's largely because the Steelers able to beat the Bengals

2244
01:42:42,800 --> 01:42:46,240
Speaker 1: earlier on Saturday thirty four to eleven. That loss drops

2245
01:42:46,280 --> 01:42:49,080
Speaker 1: Cincinnati from the number six spot all the way down

2246
01:42:49,120 --> 01:42:53,040
Speaker 1: to number ten, while the Steelers leapfrog them to number nine.

2247
01:42:53,240 --> 01:42:56,080
Speaker 1: So the AFC playoff race really tightening up as we

2248
01:42:56,160 --> 01:42:59,040
Speaker 1: have Sunday Monday plus two more weeks left to go

2249
01:42:59,680 --> 01:43:03,240
Speaker 1: in the regular season. As for Sunday slate of action,

2250
01:43:03,400 --> 01:43:05,880
Speaker 1: Adam Schefter with some late night updates. He says that

2251
01:43:05,960 --> 01:43:08,320
Speaker 1: player is making it back from injury who are expected

2252
01:43:08,360 --> 01:43:12,160
Speaker 1: to play Sunday include Gino Smith, Trevor Lawrence, Jonathan Taylor,

2253
01:43:12,560 --> 01:43:15,639
Speaker 1: and Devon a Chan. He also says that Texans wide

2254
01:43:15,680 --> 01:43:19,160
Speaker 1: receiver Nico Collins is expected to play against the Browns.

2255
01:43:19,200 --> 01:43:22,760
Speaker 1: He's listed as questionable due to his calf injury. The

2256
01:43:22,840 --> 01:43:26,800
Speaker 1: Dolphins are optimistic that wide receiver Tyreek Hill will play

2257
01:43:26,840 --> 01:43:28,960
Speaker 1: against the Cowboys are said to just want to make

2258
01:43:29,000 --> 01:43:32,320
Speaker 1: sure how he's feeling Sunday before making a final decision

2259
01:43:32,960 --> 01:43:36,799
Speaker 1: on his game status. And Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker

2260
01:43:37,479 --> 01:43:39,679
Speaker 1: is expected to play against the Tennessee Titans.

2261
01:43:40,040 --> 01:43:44,719
Speaker 8: He is questionable with a shoulder injury. Back to you guys,

2272
01:44:15,280 --> 01:44:18,439
Speaker 1: Brooks with you here, talking all things Week sixteen of

2273
01:44:18,479 --> 01:44:21,479
Speaker 1: your National Football League season, and obviously this week a

2274
01:44:21,600 --> 01:44:24,320
Speaker 1: lot about the MVP. I mentioned Kyron Williams, but that

2275
01:44:24,439 --> 01:44:25,439
Speaker 1: leads us to this game.

2276
01:44:25,920 --> 01:44:27,080
Speaker 3: Ravens at nine.

2277
01:44:27,240 --> 01:44:29,720
Speaker 1: There you go the forty nine ers, either a five

2278
01:44:29,760 --> 01:44:31,960
Speaker 1: and a half or six point favorite, depending on where

2279
01:44:31,960 --> 01:44:34,960
Speaker 1: you're looking over under sitting at forty seven, and it's

2280
01:44:35,000 --> 01:44:38,960
Speaker 1: all about party. It's all about Lamar Jackson. And we

2281
01:44:39,040 --> 01:44:41,840
Speaker 1: can parse through the data. I say it's all about

2282
01:44:41,880 --> 01:44:46,040
Speaker 1: Trent Williams. Damn it. Forget about Christian McCaffrey. Forget if

2283
01:44:46,080 --> 01:44:49,880
Speaker 1: the big guy's not there, it doesn't work. What's hey, you, Bucky?

2284
01:44:50,160 --> 01:44:53,880
Speaker 1: Can you get behind an offensive lineman just because I'm

2285
01:44:53,920 --> 01:44:54,320
Speaker 1: that guy?

2286
01:44:55,520 --> 01:44:57,439
Speaker 4: No, I can't get by an offensive line being MVP.

2287
01:44:57,560 --> 01:45:00,280
Speaker 4: I can get behind Christian McCaffrey being the MVP because

2288
01:45:00,360 --> 01:45:02,840
Speaker 4: to me, he's the djenga piece that makes it all

2289
01:45:02,920 --> 01:45:06,400
Speaker 4: go on their offense since he's been there. Look, man,

2290
01:45:06,439 --> 01:45:08,680
Speaker 4: their record is ridiculous. I think they're twenty one and

2291
01:45:08,720 --> 01:45:12,960
Speaker 4: four since his arrival. He's had touchdowns in twenty three

2292
01:45:13,040 --> 01:45:16,160
Speaker 4: or the twenty five games where he's played in. He's Look, he's.

2293
01:45:16,040 --> 01:45:19,679
Speaker 5: A force, and Brock Purdy is great. He is great

2294
01:45:19,760 --> 01:45:22,560
Speaker 5: in what they do. But Christian McCaffrey has destrayed his

2295
01:45:22,640 --> 01:45:23,360
Speaker 5: stirs to drink.

2296
01:45:23,640 --> 01:45:25,000
Speaker 4: He should be the guy, he should be the MVP.

2297
01:45:27,640 --> 01:45:30,720
Speaker 2: Wow, that's unbelievable. I will tell you this much. I

2298
01:45:30,720 --> 01:45:34,360
Speaker 2: think Lamar Jackson can win the game through the air.

2299
01:45:34,720 --> 01:45:36,160
Speaker 2: I mean, he can win with his legs. But I

2300
01:45:36,280 --> 01:45:39,519
Speaker 2: think that right now, the Ravens gotta give the ball

2301
01:45:40,040 --> 01:45:41,920
Speaker 2: to Gus what You gotta run the football and you

2302
01:45:41,960 --> 01:45:44,080
Speaker 2: got to give the ball to the running back, Gus Edwards.

2303
01:45:44,080 --> 01:45:45,840
Speaker 2: I think that's the key. I like the Ravens, I

2304
01:45:45,920 --> 01:45:47,280
Speaker 2: really do. I think the Ravens are gonna win this

2305
01:45:47,360 --> 01:45:49,679
Speaker 2: ball game. I think the Ravens. I'm not so certain

2306
01:45:49,680 --> 01:45:51,760
Speaker 2: they are a better ball club. I just think that

2307
01:45:51,880 --> 01:45:55,400
Speaker 2: they're more controlled than the forty nine ers. You don't

2308
01:45:55,439 --> 01:45:57,920
Speaker 2: know what you get at times with Brock Perdy, you

2309
01:45:58,120 --> 01:46:02,160
Speaker 2: just don't. I mean, he's involved with the MVP conversation,

2310
01:46:02,680 --> 01:46:05,680
Speaker 2: but he's involved because of the people around him. It

2311
01:46:05,840 --> 01:46:09,200
Speaker 2: goes to the Christian mccaffery's because of the Deebo Samuels,

2312
01:46:09,280 --> 01:46:13,280
Speaker 2: because of those players surrounding him. Make him an MVP. Now, Bucky,

2313
01:46:13,360 --> 01:46:15,560
Speaker 2: you'll agree with me on this. I know sometimes a

2314
01:46:15,640 --> 01:46:18,720
Speaker 2: quarterback can make a receiver, but many times the receivers

2315
01:46:18,920 --> 01:46:21,120
Speaker 2: can make the quarterback, and I think in this case,

2316
01:46:21,160 --> 01:46:24,360
Speaker 2: I think the personnel has made Rock Purty a better quarterback.

2317
01:46:25,439 --> 01:46:27,760
Speaker 4: Uh maybe so, But in this one, and I'm gonna

2318
01:46:27,800 --> 01:46:30,080
Speaker 4: go out on a limb, I think the forty nine

2319
01:46:30,120 --> 01:46:32,759
Speaker 4: is going to handle the Ravens pretty easily. They're playing

2320
01:46:32,800 --> 01:46:35,400
Speaker 4: at home, they had to travel across the country, it's

2321
01:46:35,479 --> 01:46:37,560
Speaker 4: the holidays. There are a lot of things, and so

2322
01:46:37,760 --> 01:46:41,920
Speaker 4: it is really the Lamar Jackson Show. Offensively, their running

2323
01:46:42,000 --> 01:46:45,680
Speaker 4: game is different. Losing Keyton Mitchell hurts them. Yeah, they

2324
01:46:45,720 --> 01:46:48,559
Speaker 4: can give it to Gus Edwards, but it's not the same.

2325
01:46:48,600 --> 01:46:50,439
Speaker 4: And they're running a different offense than they ran the

2326
01:46:50,479 --> 01:46:52,160
Speaker 4: previous years where it was a lot of that power

2327
01:46:52,240 --> 01:46:53,360
Speaker 4: read zone read stuff.

2328
01:46:53,880 --> 01:46:54,479
Speaker 5: It's different.

2329
01:46:54,960 --> 01:46:58,360
Speaker 4: The Niners, to me, have a better constructed team. And

2330
01:46:58,760 --> 01:47:00,720
Speaker 4: I don't know if the Ravens and slow down this

2331
01:47:00,880 --> 01:47:03,560
Speaker 4: version of the Niners. I'm expecting that is to kind of,

2332
01:47:04,320 --> 01:47:07,400
Speaker 4: I will say, easily dispatch the Ravens. But I don't

2333
01:47:07,439 --> 01:47:09,080
Speaker 4: think it's gonna be as tight as many of us think.

2334
01:47:09,280 --> 01:47:12,599
Speaker 1: See what Rokwan Smith, Patrick Queen and company have here,

2335
01:47:13,080 --> 01:47:16,920
Speaker 1: and the secondary obviously matching up Purdy twenty nine touchdowns,

2336
01:47:17,080 --> 01:47:20,000
Speaker 1: seven interceptions, and there are a couple of throws a game.

2337
01:47:20,120 --> 01:47:23,479
Speaker 1: And we've seen this spotlighted quite a bit. Gentlemen, you

2338
01:47:23,560 --> 01:47:26,160
Speaker 1: know where we're trying to go through that system quarterback

2339
01:47:26,240 --> 01:47:30,160
Speaker 1: chicken egg kind of thing with Lamar Jackson. To your point,

2340
01:47:30,200 --> 01:47:32,280
Speaker 1: Bucky a bit of a one man gang, which is

2341
01:47:32,320 --> 01:47:34,360
Speaker 1: why you know you might get a little more thrust

2342
01:47:34,680 --> 01:47:38,080
Speaker 1: towards the MVP if they do pull this game out,

2343
01:47:38,439 --> 01:47:42,080
Speaker 1: because it is him as still the co leading rusher

2344
01:47:42,160 --> 01:47:45,000
Speaker 1: with Gus Edwards losing Mitchell a big deal. And your

2345
01:47:45,080 --> 01:47:48,639
Speaker 1: leading receiver right now is who Isaiah likely is probably

2346
01:47:48,720 --> 01:47:51,280
Speaker 1: your your top I mean, I love Jay Flowers, but

2347
01:47:51,479 --> 01:47:54,519
Speaker 1: your your most reliable option is becoming your tight end. Again,

2348
01:47:55,200 --> 01:47:58,599
Speaker 1: who's your your backup guy? And it's usually on Lamar

2349
01:47:58,840 --> 01:48:01,000
Speaker 1: to make play as had happen, so all the numbers

2350
01:48:01,080 --> 01:48:03,719
Speaker 1: may not be as gaudy. You know, we start parsing

2351
01:48:03,800 --> 01:48:07,559
Speaker 1: out what the meaning of MVP begins, but I gotta

2352
01:48:07,560 --> 01:48:09,200
Speaker 1: I gotta ask you this. You know you have the

2353
01:48:09,240 --> 01:48:12,600
Speaker 1: ass Bucky segment, Andy, Yeah, I want to go with

2354
01:48:12,720 --> 01:48:15,840
Speaker 1: this one. Here was a story about Kyle Shanahan saying,

2355
01:48:15,840 --> 01:48:17,560
Speaker 1: you know, everybody had to go and stay in the

2356
01:48:17,600 --> 01:48:20,160
Speaker 1: team hotel quote. I think it's very good. We have

2357
01:48:20,200 --> 01:48:21,760
Speaker 1: a rule that you stay in the hotel the night

2358
01:48:21,840 --> 01:48:24,080
Speaker 1: for the game. I get people who probably have a

2359
01:48:24,120 --> 01:48:26,519
Speaker 1: lot of stuff from their wives and everything. But I've

2360
01:48:26,560 --> 01:48:29,080
Speaker 1: spent nights at home before, and you think you're gonna

2361
01:48:29,080 --> 01:48:32,040
Speaker 1: finish that dollhouse fast, and then it takes three and

2362
01:48:32,040 --> 01:48:34,240
Speaker 1: a half hours or so, and all of a sudden

2363
01:48:34,280 --> 01:48:36,840
Speaker 1: it's three o'clock in the morning. So giving them the

2364
01:48:36,880 --> 01:48:39,599
Speaker 1: opportunity go do the family thing for a little while

2365
01:48:40,240 --> 01:48:42,840
Speaker 1: and then get back into game mode. But spending the

2366
01:48:42,960 --> 01:48:46,880
Speaker 1: night and sleeping in the hotel structure, how late have

2367
01:48:47,000 --> 01:48:50,719
Speaker 1: you ever stayed up putting things together for the kids?

2368
01:48:50,960 --> 01:48:51,200
Speaker 8: Yeah?

2369
01:48:51,680 --> 01:48:55,519
Speaker 2: I can't put a thing together if you paid out, Yeah,

2370
01:48:55,600 --> 01:48:56,519
Speaker 2: oh I've got my next time?

2371
01:48:56,600 --> 01:48:56,920
Speaker 4: Able to do?

2372
01:48:57,040 --> 01:48:59,040
Speaker 3: What call somebody to do? I can't. I'm you know,

2373
01:48:59,320 --> 01:48:59,679
Speaker 3: I can't.

2374
01:48:59,800 --> 01:49:02,320
Speaker 2: I can't even turn a computer on. Really, I'm not

2375
01:49:02,400 --> 01:49:05,640
Speaker 2: good at that stuff. I'm not good technology bad, I

2376
01:49:05,720 --> 01:49:07,040
Speaker 2: mean putting things together.

2377
01:49:07,240 --> 01:49:09,479
Speaker 3: Not good. Maybe because I don't have the patience even

2378
01:49:09,520 --> 01:49:10,160
Speaker 3: as a kid.

2379
01:49:10,040 --> 01:49:12,519
Speaker 2: You know, with those little glider airplanes, couldn't do it,

2380
01:49:12,760 --> 01:49:13,519
Speaker 2: wouldn't want to do it.

2381
01:49:13,680 --> 01:49:14,200
Speaker 3: That's not me.

2382
01:49:14,479 --> 01:49:16,280
Speaker 1: Something to be said for that. I mean it does

2383
01:49:16,400 --> 01:49:19,560
Speaker 1: fit our worlds, Like let's pay someone else so I

2384
01:49:19,640 --> 01:49:21,320
Speaker 1: could go back and watch games.

2385
01:49:22,040 --> 01:49:23,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I'm mowing the lawn.

2386
01:49:23,360 --> 01:49:24,840
Speaker 2: Why would I mowl the loan when I when I

2387
01:49:24,880 --> 01:49:27,679
Speaker 2: could do something during that time two hours.

2388
01:49:27,479 --> 01:49:30,560
Speaker 1: Of my life your time value right, pay someone to

2389
01:49:30,640 --> 01:49:30,840
Speaker 1: do it.

2390
01:49:32,000 --> 01:49:32,120
Speaker 9: Uh.

2391
01:49:32,280 --> 01:49:34,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, I've stayed up late. I didn't even know.

2392
01:49:34,280 --> 01:49:35,400
Speaker 5: Like I don't know if you guys know that.

2393
01:49:35,479 --> 01:49:37,800
Speaker 4: I think Walmart stays open like darn near twenty four

2394
01:49:37,840 --> 01:49:39,680
Speaker 4: hours even on Christmas. Like I know there have been

2395
01:49:39,720 --> 01:49:41,879
Speaker 4: times where I walked into Walmart late to get batteries

2396
01:49:41,960 --> 01:49:44,760
Speaker 4: for a train track that you're putting together, and you're

2397
01:49:44,760 --> 01:49:46,960
Speaker 4: trying to put it together, and you're wondering, why do

2398
01:49:47,080 --> 01:49:50,280
Speaker 4: you have so many extra pieces? Cal shanahan is right

2399
01:49:50,720 --> 01:49:53,360
Speaker 4: on this because like the honeydew list can get long

2400
01:49:53,760 --> 01:49:56,000
Speaker 4: around the holidays, and so you got players trying to

2401
01:49:56,040 --> 01:49:59,559
Speaker 4: put together like you know, Barbie World, Dollhouse and all

2402
01:49:59,600 --> 01:50:01,760
Speaker 4: this sudden. So yeah, hey man, you gotta get back

2403
01:50:01,760 --> 01:50:03,120
Speaker 4: to the hotel. We need to get make sure you

2404
01:50:03,200 --> 01:50:05,639
Speaker 4: have a good night's sleep so you can be ready

2405
01:50:05,680 --> 01:50:05,920
Speaker 4: to play.

2406
01:50:06,280 --> 01:50:08,120
Speaker 2: And I've heard coaches always say that you're better of

2407
01:50:08,200 --> 01:50:09,880
Speaker 2: sleeping at home in your own bed than in a

2408
01:50:09,920 --> 01:50:10,559
Speaker 2: hotel bed.

2409
01:50:11,320 --> 01:50:13,000
Speaker 4: I think it depends on I think it depends on

2410
01:50:13,200 --> 01:50:16,320
Speaker 4: the maturity of your team. In Kansas City, when I

2411
01:50:16,360 --> 01:50:18,439
Speaker 4: played in the Marty schadenheim Er home games, we stayed

2412
01:50:18,479 --> 01:50:20,519
Speaker 4: at home. On the road, you obviously at the hotel.

2413
01:50:21,000 --> 01:50:23,120
Speaker 4: But then when I was in Jacksonville, we always stayed

2414
01:50:23,280 --> 01:50:25,960
Speaker 4: at the hotel. It just kind of depends on your team.

2415
01:50:26,000 --> 01:50:28,280
Speaker 4: There's something to be said for getting everybody away so

2416
01:50:28,360 --> 01:50:30,799
Speaker 4: you can lock in and focus, get a good night sleeping.

2417
01:50:30,880 --> 01:50:33,439
Speaker 4: Not I hate to call a family a distraction, but

2418
01:50:33,560 --> 01:50:35,960
Speaker 4: not be distracted by the family and the obligations that

2419
01:50:36,040 --> 01:50:37,040
Speaker 4: can come along with being there.

2420
01:50:37,160 --> 01:50:39,240
Speaker 1: That's okay, you can go them in distraction. It's kind

2421
01:50:39,240 --> 01:50:41,840
Speaker 1: of like we get into all the particulars when it

2422
01:50:41,920 --> 01:50:45,720
Speaker 1: becomes the playoff time or Super Bowl time? Right, how

2423
01:50:45,800 --> 01:50:48,040
Speaker 1: do you get rid of all the ticket requests and

2424
01:50:48,160 --> 01:50:51,000
Speaker 1: all the hangars on that suddenly show up set the

2425
01:50:51,120 --> 01:50:53,679
Speaker 1: hear I mean, this is a monster game at least

2426
01:50:53,720 --> 01:50:56,519
Speaker 1: from where we you know, outside looking in, right, the

2427
01:50:56,680 --> 01:51:01,760
Speaker 1: MVP conversations for the Ravens to earn the number one

2428
01:51:01,920 --> 01:51:05,880
Speaker 1: seed for the forty nine ers just trying to keep

2429
01:51:05,960 --> 01:51:09,360
Speaker 1: the line moving as well as you know the brock

2430
01:51:09,439 --> 01:51:13,559
Speaker 1: Purty Express. And for Shanahan, I mean, there's a mission, right,

2431
01:51:13,880 --> 01:51:17,080
Speaker 1: he still remembers what happened has happened a few years ago,

2432
01:51:17,680 --> 01:51:19,680
Speaker 1: that still has to erase the taste out of his

2433
01:51:19,840 --> 01:51:22,040
Speaker 1: mouth from big game situations.

2434
01:51:22,160 --> 01:51:24,439
Speaker 2: So well, two things I want to throw at you,

2435
01:51:24,479 --> 01:51:26,360
Speaker 2: because I know you'll have the answer for me. Number One,

2436
01:51:26,880 --> 01:51:28,160
Speaker 2: I think it's a gut team move in the part

2437
01:51:28,200 --> 01:51:31,360
Speaker 2: of the NFL because Tomorrow, Christmas Day has always been

2438
01:51:31,400 --> 01:51:33,840
Speaker 2: reserved for the NBA, so they forget about the NBA tomorrow.

2439
01:51:33,920 --> 01:51:36,920
Speaker 2: It's all about the NFL. Number two, why are these

2440
01:51:37,000 --> 01:51:40,920
Speaker 2: games on Fox? I'm confused because normally Monday isn't that

2441
01:51:41,160 --> 01:51:44,719
Speaker 2: like an ESPN situation. Both the games tomorrow Giants Seagulls

2442
01:51:44,800 --> 01:51:48,080
Speaker 2: Ravens forty nine Ers Giants Seagulso had four thirty Eastern

2443
01:51:48,200 --> 01:51:51,240
Speaker 2: on Fox and the eight to fifteen game Eastern is

2444
01:51:51,280 --> 01:51:52,000
Speaker 2: on Fox as well.

2445
01:51:52,080 --> 01:51:53,040
Speaker 3: Ravens forty nine Ers.

2446
01:51:53,160 --> 01:51:54,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think part of it just goes down to

2447
01:51:55,320 --> 01:51:58,519
Speaker 1: as you fight for your place with all the streaming

2448
01:51:58,560 --> 01:52:00,400
Speaker 1: coming in, because I know people were mad about the

2449
01:52:00,479 --> 01:52:05,360
Speaker 1: Peacock game yesterday guess what. There's an exclusive Peacock playoff

2450
01:52:05,400 --> 01:52:07,640
Speaker 1: game that's coming, folks. So you got that going to

2451
01:52:08,000 --> 01:52:11,560
Speaker 1: so go enjoy your extended episodes of the Office and

2452
01:52:11,680 --> 01:52:15,520
Speaker 1: the other NBC comedies that you get with your Peacock subscription.

2453
01:52:16,080 --> 01:52:18,360
Speaker 1: Some other movies too, Right, I'm ready for the Holdovers

2454
01:52:18,439 --> 01:52:21,280
Speaker 1: that's coming, the Paul Giamatti movie. It's going out at theaters.

2455
01:52:21,280 --> 01:52:24,559
Speaker 1: It'll be on Peacock next week. But I think that's

2456
01:52:24,640 --> 01:52:26,360
Speaker 1: part of it is now you get into some of

2457
01:52:26,439 --> 01:52:29,519
Speaker 1: the bidding and restriction process, like all right, I'll give

2458
01:52:29,560 --> 01:52:32,000
Speaker 1: you this if you give me that little little little

2459
01:52:32,000 --> 01:52:35,720
Speaker 1: bit of trade barter system kind of thing.

2460
01:52:35,920 --> 01:52:39,160
Speaker 2: And one last thing this Thursday Night's game coming up Thursday,

2461
01:52:39,760 --> 01:52:42,280
Speaker 2: And I think, how Michaels is off? Are they trying

2462
01:52:42,280 --> 01:52:43,559
Speaker 2: to boot al Michael's out now?

2463
01:52:43,680 --> 01:52:49,080
Speaker 1: No, he's well, they already took him off the playoff game. Son,

2464
01:52:49,160 --> 01:52:50,240
Speaker 1: who's been trying to court.

2465
01:52:50,640 --> 01:52:53,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's been a less and enthusiastic when it comes

2466
01:52:53,880 --> 01:52:56,200
Speaker 4: to some of the games on Amazon.

2467
01:52:56,360 --> 01:52:57,720
Speaker 5: He hasn't necessarily gone all in.

2468
01:52:57,880 --> 01:53:00,679
Speaker 4: He's openly talked to size the games.

2469
01:53:01,520 --> 01:53:02,679
Speaker 3: So they're pretty bad.

2470
01:53:02,720 --> 01:53:03,400
Speaker 4: He's a legend.

2471
01:53:04,040 --> 01:53:05,200
Speaker 3: He's I think he's great.

2472
01:53:05,320 --> 01:53:07,439
Speaker 2: I still think that you know, him at half speed

2473
01:53:07,479 --> 01:53:09,000
Speaker 2: has been in a lot of guys at full speed.

2474
01:53:09,320 --> 01:53:12,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, when he when he's into a game, it's still fantastic.

2475
01:53:13,000 --> 01:53:14,559
Speaker 5: Right now, he hasn't been.

2476
01:53:14,760 --> 01:53:16,960
Speaker 4: He hasn't been into the game, like he's kind of

2477
01:53:17,040 --> 01:53:18,800
Speaker 4: melded in at times, and he might.

2478
01:53:18,720 --> 01:53:20,760
Speaker 3: Be a little bitter. What happened with him at NBC.

2479
01:53:20,840 --> 01:53:21,160
Speaker 3: I'm sure.

2480
01:53:22,080 --> 01:53:24,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm sure they told him to go. And they're

2481
01:53:24,000 --> 01:53:25,880
Speaker 2: supposed to do a playoff game at NBC this year,

2482
01:53:26,200 --> 01:53:28,960
Speaker 2: and apparently, from what I heard, they never told him.

2483
01:53:29,000 --> 01:53:30,519
Speaker 2: He read about it in the New York Post.

2484
01:53:30,920 --> 01:53:31,080
Speaker 6: Yeah.

2485
01:53:31,200 --> 01:53:33,240
Speaker 1: Well, I mean that that's the the danger of all

2486
01:53:33,280 --> 01:53:35,519
Speaker 1: of these things, guys creeping around trying to get their

2487
01:53:35,920 --> 01:53:40,120
Speaker 1: their push and their their run through, and and certainly

2488
01:53:40,240 --> 01:53:42,360
Speaker 1: with a guy like Noah Eagle and and some of

2489
01:53:42,439 --> 01:53:45,840
Speaker 1: the others, you're you're trying to prepare for your next broadcast,

2490
01:53:46,040 --> 01:53:49,840
Speaker 1: lives right the next decade or or whatever, and he's

2491
01:53:49,920 --> 01:53:53,200
Speaker 1: a sought after commodity, So why not try to get

2492
01:53:53,280 --> 01:53:55,439
Speaker 1: him into the booth a little bit earlier. So I

2493
01:53:55,640 --> 01:53:57,160
Speaker 1: think you've got a little bit of that. I do

2494
01:53:57,400 --> 01:54:01,160
Speaker 1: like that the promo for the finale on the Prime game, though, guys,

2495
01:54:01,640 --> 01:54:05,680
Speaker 1: is pictures of Sauce Gardner and Miles Garrett. That's got

2496
01:54:05,800 --> 01:54:08,400
Speaker 1: to be the first time it's two defensive people other

2497
01:54:08,479 --> 01:54:12,880
Speaker 1: than the Belichick TJ. Watt of a couple of weeks ago. Right, Yeah,

2498
01:54:13,240 --> 01:54:17,120
Speaker 1: we can't even predict who's doing anything offensively, so let's

2499
01:54:17,160 --> 01:54:20,040
Speaker 1: just go to the best players on the defense, which

2500
01:54:20,120 --> 01:54:23,960
Speaker 1: is totally against everything the NFL tries to push on

2501
01:54:24,080 --> 01:54:27,880
Speaker 1: a regular basis. There's Andy Ferman, that's Bucky Brooks by KRMA.

2502
01:54:27,920 --> 01:54:29,760
Speaker 1: We've got one more game to go before we get

2503
01:54:29,800 --> 01:54:32,000
Speaker 1: out of here. And I also want to do I

2504
01:54:32,120 --> 01:54:37,160
Speaker 1: watched a breakdown of foods for this holiday season, because

2505
01:54:37,160 --> 01:54:39,840
Speaker 1: if you haven't set the menu yet, maybe you want

2506
01:54:39,880 --> 01:54:42,560
Speaker 1: to go with this some of these draft picks. We'll

2507
01:54:42,600 --> 01:54:45,240

01:55:27,880 --> 01:55:30,760
Speaker 1: James con trying to play tricks on Nicky Cox. And

2519
01:55:30,840 --> 01:55:33,480

01:56:01,000 --> 01:56:03,600

2530
01:56:03,600 --> 01:56:07,120
Speaker 1: said Eagles. Yeah, the Eagles, losers of three straight and

2531
01:56:07,200 --> 01:56:10,240
Speaker 1: the sky is falling twelve and a half point favorites

2532
01:56:10,280 --> 01:56:14,200
Speaker 1: against Tommy DeVito and the Giants. You know, me and

2533
01:56:14,320 --> 01:56:18,200
Speaker 1: the dopey scheduling thing. It's the Giants, followed by the Cardinals,

2534
01:56:18,640 --> 01:56:22,280
Speaker 1: followed by the other end of the giant sandwich. To

2535
01:56:22,360 --> 01:56:25,760
Speaker 1: finish out the year for the Eagles, losses to the

2536
01:56:25,840 --> 01:56:29,480
Speaker 1: forty nine Ers, Cowboys and Seahawks seemingly a get right

2537
01:56:29,720 --> 01:56:33,800
Speaker 1: game here, Andy Furman, Tommy DeVito one hundred and twenty

2538
01:56:33,920 --> 01:56:35,800
Speaker 1: nine bucks for his autograph if you want to go

2539
01:56:35,880 --> 01:56:39,080
Speaker 1: get it out of signing, plus some cash for the inscription.

2540
01:56:39,200 --> 01:56:40,800
Speaker 3: What do you think, Tommy Cutlass?

2541
01:56:40,840 --> 01:56:42,400
Speaker 2: I love. It's a great story, really is, but it

2542
01:56:42,480 --> 01:56:44,680
Speaker 2: ends today. You know, you look at this Philadelphia Eagles

2543
01:56:44,720 --> 01:56:46,680
Speaker 2: team and they lost three straight and the thing that

2544
01:56:46,760 --> 01:56:48,880
Speaker 2: comes to mind is that I have never seen the

2545
01:56:49,000 --> 01:56:51,600
Speaker 2: NFL so bunched up. I mean, the commissioner must love

2546
01:56:51,640 --> 01:56:53,960
Speaker 2: this because it's coming down to the wire and that's

2547
01:56:54,000 --> 01:56:54,880
Speaker 2: basically what they want.

2548
01:56:54,920 --> 01:56:56,240
Speaker 3: They want that even keel thing.

2549
01:56:56,520 --> 01:56:59,320
Speaker 2: But the interceptions and the false thoughts that killed the

2550
01:56:59,400 --> 01:57:01,960
Speaker 2: Eagles last against the Seahawks. I don't think it's gonna

2551
01:57:01,960 --> 01:57:04,120
Speaker 2: happen again today. I think the Eagles win, they take

2552
01:57:04,160 --> 01:57:07,240
Speaker 2: it out on the Giants something like maybe thirty five points,

2553
01:57:07,920 --> 01:57:10,560
Speaker 2: thirty five, ten, thirty five, fourteen. I just don't think

2554
01:57:10,600 --> 01:57:13,560
Speaker 2: the Giants have it. They don't have the strength, and

2555
01:57:13,640 --> 01:57:17,160
Speaker 2: look the Giants freight train led by Tommy DeVito. They

2556
01:57:17,200 --> 01:57:20,840
Speaker 2: were stopped by the Saints, really, and if the Saints

2557
01:57:20,840 --> 01:57:22,920
Speaker 2: stopped them, the Eagles will definitely stop them.

2558
01:57:25,040 --> 01:57:25,240
Speaker 5: Yeah.

2559
01:57:25,240 --> 01:57:25,600
Speaker 4: I don't know.

2560
01:57:26,640 --> 01:57:29,000
Speaker 5: Well, I'll say this, I like the Eagles to win

2561
01:57:29,240 --> 01:57:29,960
Speaker 5: over the Giants.

2562
01:57:30,040 --> 01:57:33,520
Speaker 4: I think the Eagles defensively made an improvement with Matt Patrician.

2563
01:57:33,600 --> 01:57:35,200
Speaker 4: People like to give him a hard time over the

2564
01:57:35,320 --> 01:57:37,720
Speaker 4: blitz calls at the end of the game that cost them.

2565
01:57:37,920 --> 01:57:40,280
Speaker 1: Just don't let James Bradberry be on an island.

2566
01:57:40,440 --> 01:57:43,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, but that's that's that's that You would like to think,

2567
01:57:44,120 --> 01:57:47,720
Speaker 4: Mike and and Andy that a veteran who has played

2568
01:57:47,760 --> 01:57:50,600
Speaker 4: as long as James Bradberry has played would not just

2569
01:57:50,720 --> 01:57:53,320
Speaker 4: sit there with his feet and cement and allow two

2570
01:57:53,440 --> 01:57:55,440
Speaker 4: receivers to run past them on back to back place.

2571
01:57:55,560 --> 01:57:57,680
Speaker 4: I mean, you just wouldn't think that. But they gott

2572
01:57:57,720 --> 01:57:59,800
Speaker 4: to fix their offense. Their defense will be fine because

2573
01:57:59,800 --> 01:58:01,440
Speaker 4: I think Patrician will put them in the right thing.

2574
01:58:01,800 --> 01:58:03,880
Speaker 4: Their offense has to get better. Jalen Hurts has to

2575
01:58:03,920 --> 01:58:05,920
Speaker 4: be better for won the ball, but part of that

2576
01:58:06,080 --> 01:58:08,840
Speaker 4: is he needs to run the football more. They are

2577
01:58:08,960 --> 01:58:12,320
Speaker 4: at their best when they run the football. And until

2578
01:58:12,400 --> 01:58:15,680
Speaker 4: this team recommits the running the football to the level

2579
01:58:15,720 --> 01:58:18,400
Speaker 4: that they did last year. The offense is always going

2580
01:58:18,440 --> 01:58:21,680
Speaker 4: to be scattershot because the quarterback is not a true

2581
01:58:22,840 --> 01:58:23,240
Speaker 4: drop back.

2582
01:58:23,280 --> 01:58:28,640
Speaker 1: Pass turnovers and penalties eliminate those beyond what do we

2649
02:01:47,440 --> 02:01:48,800
Speaker 4: time of year because we were able to kind of

2650
02:01:48,840 --> 02:01:50,800
Speaker 4: pause for a minute and reflect on all the things

2651
02:01:50,840 --> 02:01:51,560

Speaker 1: get better at, all of those things that we're flowing through.

2654
02:01:57,280 --> 02:02:00,920
Speaker 1: And I'll be sitting on a plane during the early games.

2655
02:02:00,960 --> 02:02:04,080
Speaker 1: Hopefully there's some way I can tap in to the

2656
02:02:04,160 --> 02:02:06,600

Speaker 1: we're coming to Florida. Get the house ready as we

2658
02:02:10,440 --> 02:02:14,040
Speaker 1: roll up here on a Christmas Eve, full slate of games.

2659
02:02:14,360 --> 02:02:16,800
Speaker 1: Take us with you wherever you go. The iHeartRadio app

2660

Speaker 1: it's still the best stocking stuff for I do like

2661
02:02:19,400 --> 02:02:22,640
Speaker 1: that they had Big Voice Guy add that as a

2662
02:02:22,800 --> 02:02:25,600
Speaker 1: holiday gift because it's something I've been trying to push

2663
02:02:25,720 --> 02:02:28,880
Speaker 1: for a long time. It's free. It's three hundred and

2664
02:02:28,920 --> 02:02:31,960
Speaker 1: sixty five days a year. All those channels, all those podcasts,

2665
02:02:32,200 --> 02:02:35,560
Speaker 1: all the greatness in the podcast here from Fox Sports Radio.

2666
02:02:35,600 --> 02:02:38,320
Speaker 1: You can find those up as soon as these shows end.

2667
02:02:39,040 --> 02:02:43,720
Speaker 1: Whatever you're listening, Pleasure and Place is we've got a

2668
02:02:43,760 --> 02:02:46,440
Speaker 1: great slate, because it's a difficult slate I think, to

2669
02:02:46,520 --> 02:02:49,080
Speaker 1: kind of navigate, trying to figure out motivations, trying to

2670
02:02:49,120 --> 02:02:52,400
Speaker 1: figure out one who's playing. I mean, the laundry list

2671
02:02:52,480 --> 02:02:55,480
Speaker 1: of injuries at this time of the year, Bucky, you know,

2672
02:02:55,720 --> 02:02:58,920
Speaker 1: final three weeks of the season, the holidays approach. You

2673
02:02:59,000 --> 02:03:01,640
Speaker 1: know years in the league, how hard is it for

2674
02:03:01,840 --> 02:03:04,640
Speaker 1: guys this time of year. Maybe they've got young ones

2675
02:03:04,720 --> 02:03:07,520
Speaker 1: at home, trying to navigate all of that part as

2676
02:03:07,560 --> 02:03:09,680
Speaker 1: well as the physical aches and pains.

2677
02:03:11,040 --> 02:03:13,760
Speaker 4: I think down the stretch, there are a lot of

2678
02:03:13,840 --> 02:03:15,560
Speaker 4: things right So at the end of the year, you

2679
02:03:15,640 --> 02:03:19,000
Speaker 4: have Thanksgiving, you have Christmas, you have family obligations, and

2680
02:03:19,160 --> 02:03:21,800
Speaker 4: you have a playoff push, and so the stress on

2681
02:03:22,000 --> 02:03:22,680
Speaker 4: players is.

2682
02:03:22,720 --> 02:03:24,080
Speaker 5: Immense during this time of year.

2683
02:03:24,960 --> 02:03:26,720
Speaker 4: What you would like to think is that you're able

2684
02:03:26,760 --> 02:03:31,760
Speaker 4: to compartmentalize everything and hopefully for guys with young families,

2685
02:03:31,800 --> 02:03:33,920
Speaker 4: they have a good partner that can kind of maybe

2686
02:03:34,400 --> 02:03:36,240
Speaker 4: do a little more during this time of the year,

2687
02:03:36,520 --> 02:03:38,160
Speaker 4: so you can lock in and focus and then you

2688
02:03:38,280 --> 02:03:40,320
Speaker 4: make it up on the back end when it comes

2689
02:03:40,320 --> 02:03:42,760
Speaker 4: to the off season and you're available and able to

2690
02:03:42,840 --> 02:03:45,400
Speaker 4: do those things. But you got to be able to focus.

2691
02:03:45,480 --> 02:03:47,720
Speaker 4: You got to be able to lock in. It's important

2692
02:03:47,760 --> 02:03:50,160
Speaker 4: to spend time with the family, but it's also important

2693
02:03:50,200 --> 02:03:53,320
Speaker 4: that you're ready to play. These games have significance. Everyone

2694
02:03:53,400 --> 02:03:55,480
Speaker 4: wants to play in the postseason. There's none like getting

2695
02:03:55,480 --> 02:03:59,240
Speaker 4: in the postseason. And so from a professional standpoint, you

2696
02:03:59,320 --> 02:04:01,000
Speaker 4: got to be at your when it comes to being

2697
02:04:01,080 --> 02:04:02,960
Speaker 4: dowed in with your preparation and your process.

2698

2703
02:04:19,360 --> 02:04:22,520
Speaker 1: we start thinking about the playoff picture in earnest A

2704
02:04:22,600 --> 02:04:26,280
Speaker 1: lot being made about the top seeds, right, we talk

2705
02:04:26,320 --> 02:04:28,560
Speaker 1: about the Ravens, we talk about the forty nine ers

2706
02:04:28,760 --> 02:04:31,120
Speaker 1: and that head to head matchup. Be remiss. I mean

2707
02:04:31,160 --> 02:04:35,600
Speaker 1: you're part of the Jacksonville broadcast crew. You've got a

2708
02:04:35,720 --> 02:04:39,240
Speaker 1: big date against the Buccaneers. A little bit later, forty

2709
02:04:39,240 --> 02:04:43,480
Speaker 1: two and a half, Trevor Lawrence clears concussion protocol and

2710
02:04:43,560 --> 02:04:45,760
Speaker 1: I heard you and Andy speaking about him a little

2711
02:04:45,800 --> 02:04:50,040
Speaker 1: bit earlier. What's the overall feel of where Trevor Lawrence

2712
02:04:50,160 --> 02:04:51,280
Speaker 1: is as a quarterback?

2713
02:04:53,160 --> 02:04:57,120
Speaker 4: Look, man, I think people respect his talent, they respect

2714
02:04:58,400 --> 02:05:01,200
Speaker 4: what he can do as a franchise quart. I would

2715
02:05:01,200 --> 02:05:04,520
Speaker 4: say that maybe there's been some disappointment in terms of

2716
02:05:04,600 --> 02:05:08,960
Speaker 4: some of the situational management and stuff like that, but

2717
02:05:10,200 --> 02:05:12,880
Speaker 4: they can recognize and appreciate the talent and how hard

2718
02:05:12,920 --> 02:05:15,160
Speaker 4: it is to have a talent like that in the building.

2719
02:05:15,920 --> 02:05:21,040
Speaker 4: To me, though, it's interesting because I think he and

2720
02:05:21,360 --> 02:05:24,760
Speaker 4: Justin Fields are kind of more in the same camp

2721
02:05:24,960 --> 02:05:29,680
Speaker 4: than not. And so when I hear the vichy al

2722
02:05:29,960 --> 02:05:33,400
Speaker 4: spewed at Justin Fields and how quickly Chicago Bears fans

2723
02:05:34,000 --> 02:05:38,160
Speaker 4: seemingly want to move on from Justin Fields, I do

2724
02:05:38,360 --> 02:05:43,000
Speaker 4: wonder if people pay closer attention to Jacksonville, if Trevor

2725
02:05:43,040 --> 02:05:44,680
Speaker 4: wouldn't get some of that. He's beginning to get some

2726
02:05:44,800 --> 02:05:48,880
Speaker 4: of that now. But I don't know if any of

2727
02:05:48,960 --> 02:05:50,880
Speaker 4: those quarterbacks have been a star. I don't know if

2728
02:05:50,920 --> 02:05:52,800
Speaker 4: recently in the last three drafts, if we've had a

2729
02:05:53,040 --> 02:05:56,600
Speaker 4: star play like a star at quarterback. I think Trevor's

2730
02:05:56,680 --> 02:06:01,840
Speaker 4: now beginning to get some of that criticism from outsiders

2731
02:06:01,880 --> 02:06:04,360
Speaker 4: about him not being what we thought he.

2732
02:06:04,520 --> 02:06:06,240
Speaker 5: Was going to be coming into the league.

2733
02:06:07,040 --> 02:06:10,360
Speaker 1: Buddy, how much do you think when we look at

2734
02:06:10,600 --> 02:06:13,360
Speaker 1: the history of some of these guys, that COVID year

2735
02:06:14,200 --> 02:06:17,960
Speaker 1: really stands out and becomes a more prominent feature if

2736
02:06:18,000 --> 02:06:20,640
Speaker 1: we look at the quarterback position in particular.

2737
02:06:21,680 --> 02:06:23,680
Speaker 4: I mean, look, I think I think it all matters.

2738
02:06:24,360 --> 02:06:27,760
Speaker 4: I think the way the game has evolved, Mattters, the

2739
02:06:27,840 --> 02:06:30,200
Speaker 4: COVID year prevented guys from really being able to work

2740
02:06:30,560 --> 02:06:32,400
Speaker 4: out and being able to get together and do some

2741
02:06:32,480 --> 02:06:34,880
Speaker 4: of the things that you needed to get done to

2742
02:06:35,000 --> 02:06:40,680
Speaker 4: be successful. For me, when I look at like Trevor

2743
02:06:40,720 --> 02:06:44,800
Speaker 4: and deck group specifically, I think, right now we're at

2744
02:06:44,840 --> 02:06:49,760
Speaker 4: a time where we harshly criticize young quarterbacks way too soon,

2745
02:06:50,360 --> 02:06:51,920
Speaker 4: like we kind of want them to come out of

2746
02:06:52,000 --> 02:06:56,440
Speaker 4: college and we want a fully baked, fully polished product,

2747
02:06:56,920 --> 02:07:00,640
Speaker 4: And that's an unrealistic take. It's just unreallyst The only

2748
02:07:00,680 --> 02:07:01,960
Speaker 4: way that you can do it is if you have

2749
02:07:02,080 --> 02:07:05,920
Speaker 4: to take what system they played in in college and

2750
02:07:06,080 --> 02:07:09,280
Speaker 4: implement it in the pros. And right now, coaches aren't

2751
02:07:09,320 --> 02:07:12,560
Speaker 4: willing to do that. And until you get that, that

2752
02:07:12,840 --> 02:07:16,760
Speaker 4: that that balance of Hey, here's what you did in college,

2753
02:07:16,800 --> 02:07:17,120
Speaker 4: Here's what.

2754
02:07:17,200 --> 02:07:17,960
Speaker 5: We want to do in the pro.

2755
02:07:18,080 --> 02:07:20,040
Speaker 4: We're going to meet you in the middle, and you'll

2756
02:07:20,080 --> 02:07:22,400
Speaker 4: continue to grow towards our stuff while we kind of

2757
02:07:22,960 --> 02:07:26,120
Speaker 4: put your own training wheels with your old stuff. Until

2758
02:07:26,280 --> 02:07:29,920
Speaker 4: that changes, it'll always be a flawed process when it

2759
02:07:29,960 --> 02:07:31,080
Speaker 4: comes to quarterback development.

2760
02:07:31,240 --> 02:07:31,920
Speaker 1: It is curious.

2761
02:07:32,040 --> 02:07:32,200
Speaker 4: Right.

2762
02:07:32,280 --> 02:07:34,560
Speaker 1: One of these stats that I saw, which I know

2763
02:07:34,680 --> 02:07:39,080
Speaker 1: you'll appreciate because it ropes justin fields the Bears uh

2764
02:07:39,240 --> 02:07:43,720
Speaker 1: and developing quarterbacks into the process, is a stat for

2765
02:07:44,200 --> 02:07:48,600
Speaker 1: Jordan Love for his final three games. Right, tied directly

2766
02:07:48,960 --> 02:07:51,600
Speaker 1: to the fun and excitement in Chicago, is that if

2767
02:07:51,680 --> 02:07:55,760
Speaker 1: he averages one hundred and fifty seven passing yards and

2768
02:07:55,960 --> 02:07:59,080
Speaker 1: one point three passing touchdowns per game over the next

2769
02:07:59,200 --> 02:08:03,560
Speaker 1: three games, he will surpass any season passing yard or

2770
02:08:03,640 --> 02:08:09,000
Speaker 1: passing touchdown record for the Bears. Not too bad for

2771
02:08:09,120 --> 02:08:11,240
Speaker 1: a guy that people still have their doubts about.

2772
02:08:11,320 --> 02:08:11,440
Speaker 6: Right.

2773
02:08:13,080 --> 02:08:15,440
Speaker 1: That is not a very high bar either.

2774
02:08:16,400 --> 02:08:20,120
Speaker 4: No, not a hard high bar at all. It's a look.

2775
02:08:20,200 --> 02:08:24,000
Speaker 5: It's interesting, and I just wonder going forward.

2776
02:08:23,800 --> 02:08:25,360
Speaker 4: What it looks like, what it would look like for

2777
02:08:25,440 --> 02:08:26,880
Speaker 4: the Bears, what it looked like for some of these

2778
02:08:26,960 --> 02:08:29,480
Speaker 4: other quarterbacks. What's gonna happen with Zach Wilson at the

2779
02:08:29,600 --> 02:08:32,040
Speaker 4: end of the year, all of these young dudes, because

2780
02:08:32,160 --> 02:08:35,480
Speaker 4: that class that we hailed, Remember how we hailed that class.

2781
02:08:35,520 --> 02:08:38,720
Speaker 4: You remember how we loved that quarterback class. Trevor Lawrence,

2782
02:08:38,880 --> 02:08:42,400
Speaker 4: justin Field, Zach Wilson, Trey Lance, Mac Jones. Man, we

2783
02:08:42,640 --> 02:08:47,280
Speaker 4: love this is the golden era of quarterbacks, and here

2784
02:08:47,360 --> 02:08:49,640
Speaker 4: we are. It's only one of those two of those

2785
02:08:49,680 --> 02:08:52,480
Speaker 4: guys that are starting, but only one of them that

2786
02:08:52,600 --> 02:08:54,720
Speaker 4: people are in love with, and that would be Trevor.

2787
02:08:55,200 --> 02:08:56,480
Speaker 5: It's just a really interesting thing.

2788
02:08:56,520 --> 02:08:59,760
Speaker 4: And so right now, what are we hearing twenty twenty four?

2789
02:08:59,840 --> 02:09:00,120
Speaker 5: Man?

2790
02:09:00,240 --> 02:09:02,320
Speaker 4: What a great quarterback class? We have?

2791
02:09:02,520 --> 02:09:02,560
Speaker 5: This?

2792
02:09:02,800 --> 02:09:06,160
Speaker 4: We have that or whatever? And I'm like, okay, really,

2793
02:09:07,040 --> 02:09:10,000
Speaker 4: are we really doing this all over again? So just

2794
02:09:10,080 --> 02:09:12,440
Speaker 4: be careful because after you get by Caleb Williams and

2795
02:09:12,560 --> 02:09:15,960
Speaker 4: Drake May, Michael Pennix is an older player. Both Nicks

2796
02:09:16,040 --> 02:09:19,879
Speaker 4: is an older player. Jayden Daniels is a slender, skinny

2797
02:09:19,960 --> 02:09:24,600
Speaker 4: type player. Athletic but skinny. Look. I don't know if

2798
02:09:24,600 --> 02:09:26,200
Speaker 4: to any sure things in this class as well.

2799
02:09:26,360 --> 02:09:27,880
Speaker 1: Well, But that's the thing, right I heard you and

2800
02:09:27,920 --> 02:09:32,240
Speaker 1: Andy talking a little bit before on the Justin Fields discussion,

2801
02:09:32,360 --> 02:09:34,800
Speaker 1: point in it, and it just is that great debate

2802
02:09:34,920 --> 02:09:37,400
Speaker 1: of all right, would you rather be a year closer

2803
02:09:37,480 --> 02:09:39,800
Speaker 1: to having to pay a guy? And you know what

2804
02:09:40,440 --> 02:09:43,720
Speaker 1: skill set is? And again it's the parsing out between

2805
02:09:43,840 --> 02:09:47,760
Speaker 1: coaching and Getsi's system versus what he is. Folks cite

2806
02:09:47,880 --> 02:09:51,160
Speaker 1: the win loss record, you know, some of that's on

2807
02:09:51,320 --> 02:09:54,760
Speaker 1: him for sure, the fact that they lose double digit

2808
02:09:54,920 --> 02:09:58,400
Speaker 1: leads in fourth quarters with great and alarming regularity. I

2809
02:09:58,480 --> 02:10:01,880
Speaker 1: got marked behind the board and he's just yep, yep,

2810
02:10:02,480 --> 02:10:05,920
Speaker 1: We've seen that time and time again. But then you're

2811
02:10:05,920 --> 02:10:08,520
Speaker 1: looking behind door number two and it's as much as

2812
02:10:08,600 --> 02:10:10,880
Speaker 1: you may be in love with parts of Caleb Williams,

2813
02:10:10,920 --> 02:10:13,400
Speaker 1: are you in love with all of Caleb Williams? And

2814
02:10:13,560 --> 02:10:15,880
Speaker 1: just going on to talk about the older guys.

2815
02:10:16,280 --> 02:10:21,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, so you're a Chicago fan, you're Chicago win. Does

2816
02:10:21,240 --> 02:10:23,280
Speaker 4: Caleb Williams personality fit in Chicago?

2817
02:10:24,960 --> 02:10:29,520
Speaker 1: He'll be absolutely crushed by these people in Chicago. Okay,

2818
02:10:29,600 --> 02:10:34,640
Speaker 1: So if he continues to operate as Lincoln Riley, let

2819
02:10:34,720 --> 02:10:37,000
Speaker 1: it let him down right the lack of leadership there,

2820
02:10:38,040 --> 02:10:42,800
Speaker 1: because I'm a believer that your.

2821
02:10:42,760 --> 02:10:47,960
Speaker 4: Team has to kind of represent the city, meaning Detroit.

2822
02:10:48,920 --> 02:10:53,200
Speaker 4: Dave Campbell represents Detroit because Detroit fancies themselves as a gritty,

2823
02:10:53,400 --> 02:10:56,680
Speaker 4: tough city. So the people that play for them, they've

2824
02:10:56,760 --> 02:10:59,760
Speaker 4: made a change that the team has a bunch of gritty,

2825
02:11:00,080 --> 02:11:04,880
Speaker 4: tough players. Jared Goff has surprisingly shown people more grit

2826
02:11:05,000 --> 02:11:08,440
Speaker 4: and toughness since he joined Detroit because I don't think

2827
02:11:08,520 --> 02:11:10,720
Speaker 4: many people thought that he would be a natural fit

2828
02:11:11,320 --> 02:11:14,200
Speaker 4: as the Lion's face of the franchise, but he has.

2829
02:11:14,640 --> 02:11:17,080
Speaker 1: Even going back to his time in La Though Bucky

2830
02:11:17,160 --> 02:11:18,920
Speaker 1: he was a guy that got beat up quite a bit.

2831
02:11:19,160 --> 02:11:21,600
Speaker 1: Remember how bad that Jeff sure Year was.

2832
02:11:22,000 --> 02:11:25,400
Speaker 4: He kept oh because of hard knocks. Because of hard knocks. Yeah,

2833
02:11:25,520 --> 02:11:28,200
Speaker 4: it made him look like the village idiot and those

2834
02:11:28,280 --> 02:11:31,600
Speaker 4: things and he responded. So for me, you can say

2835
02:11:31,600 --> 02:11:33,800
Speaker 4: a bunch of different things about like fields and whether

2836
02:11:33,800 --> 02:11:34,520
Speaker 4: they can play or whatever.

2837
02:11:34,560 --> 02:11:35,480
Speaker 5: And I'm not advocating that.

2838
02:11:35,480 --> 02:11:37,760
Speaker 4: They have to keep him. I'm just saying this, when

2839
02:11:37,800 --> 02:11:40,120
Speaker 4: you think about the quarterback that you want to represent

2840
02:11:40,200 --> 02:11:42,600
Speaker 4: the Bears, the best quarterback that I would say we've

2841
02:11:42,640 --> 02:11:45,080
Speaker 4: had in recent year for the Bears would be like

2842
02:11:45,200 --> 02:11:49,120
Speaker 4: Jim McMahon because like the toughness, the kind of every

2843
02:11:49,240 --> 02:11:52,160
Speaker 4: man demeanor that he had. Jim Harbough kind of fit

2844
02:11:52,640 --> 02:11:55,880
Speaker 4: a little bit, but the numbers suggested they weren't great.

2845
02:11:56,320 --> 02:12:00,360
Speaker 4: But you gotta fit the city because that city's gonna

2846
02:12:00,360 --> 02:12:02,400
Speaker 4: be tough. And so if Caleb Williams comes in with

2847
02:12:02,520 --> 02:12:05,240
Speaker 4: all of this fanfare, all of this hype that I

2848
02:12:05,400 --> 02:12:08,000
Speaker 4: say we have done a poor job of because I

2849
02:12:08,040 --> 02:12:13,160
Speaker 4: saw Dan Orlowski say that he's part Lamar Jackson, part

2850
02:12:13,320 --> 02:12:16,840
Speaker 4: Josh Allen, part Pat mahomes Man. When you put that

2851
02:12:16,960 --> 02:12:22,040
Speaker 4: out there on a player, he's those three guys, two

2852
02:12:22,280 --> 02:12:26,320
Speaker 4: MVPs and another guy who should be in the MVP conversation.

2853
02:12:27,200 --> 02:12:29,880
Speaker 4: Holy smokes. So what do you think they're gonna do

2854
02:12:29,920 --> 02:12:33,960
Speaker 4: when he throws this first interception in Chicago? I'm just saying,

2855
02:12:34,600 --> 02:12:38,200
Speaker 4: the hype preceding his arrival is gonna be so hard

2856
02:12:38,280 --> 02:12:39,800
Speaker 4: for him to live up to Bucky.

2857
02:12:39,880 --> 02:12:42,160
Speaker 1: I mean we do this all the time. I mean,

2858
02:12:42,200 --> 02:12:44,400
Speaker 1: how often do guys get compared to Tom Brady?

2859
02:12:44,880 --> 02:12:44,920
Speaker 4: Like?

2860
02:12:45,280 --> 02:12:47,560
Speaker 1: Why do we have to go to that standard? Right?

2861
02:12:47,640 --> 02:12:49,880
Speaker 1: Why do we pick the three best guys? We can't

2862
02:12:49,920 --> 02:12:52,320
Speaker 1: pick guys in the back end of the top ten. Hey,

2863
02:12:52,400 --> 02:12:54,160
Speaker 1: we like a little of what he does that kind

2864
02:12:54,200 --> 02:12:57,120
Speaker 1: of looks like Dak or like Jalen Hurts or one

2865
02:12:57,120 --> 02:12:58,720
Speaker 1: of these other said, no, no, we got to go

2866
02:12:58,800 --> 02:12:59,880
Speaker 1: to those top three guys.

2867
02:13:00,160 --> 02:13:02,520
Speaker 4: No, we gotta go time, we got to go to

2868
02:13:02,600 --> 02:13:07,000
Speaker 4: the bombastic pro comparisons. And what happens is it sets

2869
02:13:07,080 --> 02:13:09,360
Speaker 4: it up. And I feel bad for the kids because

2870
02:13:09,440 --> 02:13:11,800
Speaker 4: what happens, we're about to flip the calendar. And so

2871
02:13:11,920 --> 02:13:14,280
Speaker 4: once the cavidar flips, it becomes all about the draft.

2872
02:13:14,640 --> 02:13:17,240
Speaker 4: The draft is what I call the biggest soap opera

2873
02:13:18,120 --> 02:13:21,040
Speaker 4: that deals with real people. So now we will wax

2874
02:13:21,120 --> 02:13:24,760
Speaker 4: poetic about all of these guys and how great they're

2875
02:13:24,800 --> 02:13:27,480
Speaker 4: going to be, because that's what we do. We try

2876
02:13:27,560 --> 02:13:31,600
Speaker 4: to drive interest to the draft. But it is rare

2877
02:13:31,680 --> 02:13:33,600
Speaker 4: that these guys live up to what it is that

2878
02:13:33,680 --> 02:13:38,280
Speaker 4: we're saying. And so every under the radar draft, nick,

2879
02:13:39,440 --> 02:13:41,560
Speaker 4: beat writer, all this other stuff, they'll hang on these

2880
02:13:41,640 --> 02:13:44,200
Speaker 4: every words, and what it does is it set ups

2881
02:13:44,480 --> 02:13:48,960
Speaker 4: false expectations for how the player will play. And also

2882
02:13:49,120 --> 02:13:52,360
Speaker 4: what we've tried to do, we tried to individualize a

2883
02:13:52,440 --> 02:13:55,480
Speaker 4: team sport. We've tried to make it where it's all

2884
02:13:55,520 --> 02:13:58,160
Speaker 4: about the quarterback. And yes, the quarterback is an important Cock,

2885
02:13:59,080 --> 02:14:02,520
Speaker 4: but the team. It's about the team. If the team

2886
02:14:02,640 --> 02:14:04,120
Speaker 4: isn't ready to play, it doesn't matter how good the

2887
02:14:04,200 --> 02:14:06,560
Speaker 4: quarterback he is. There's no John Wayne that's gonna come

2888
02:14:06,600 --> 02:14:10,280
Speaker 4: and save today, No Clint Eastwood, no Dirty Harry you

2889
02:14:10,320 --> 02:14:13,200
Speaker 4: know what I'm saying, Like, it's not gonna happen. So

2890
02:14:13,920 --> 02:14:17,000
Speaker 4: you just have to understand the best quarterbacks typically are

2891
02:14:17,040 --> 02:14:19,160
Speaker 4: surrounded by the best players because it allows them to

2892
02:14:19,160 --> 02:14:20,000
Speaker 4: play at a high level.

2893
02:14:20,280 --> 02:14:22,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'd be remiss if I didn't point out the

2894
02:14:22,080 --> 02:14:24,600
Speaker 1: fact that the two quarterbacks you cited for the Bears

2895
02:14:25,040 --> 02:14:31,240
Speaker 1: played forty years ago, and you know, the Caleb Williams,

2896
02:14:31,320 --> 02:14:33,880
Speaker 1: just to punctuate, like the stuff that happened this year,

2897
02:14:34,320 --> 02:14:36,520
Speaker 1: and obviously it was a rough year. Whatever you do

2898
02:14:36,640 --> 02:14:40,840
Speaker 1: any of that stuff in Chicago, you're done. They're going

2899
02:14:40,880 --> 02:14:43,920
Speaker 1: into the stands with moms not showing up for a

2900
02:14:44,000 --> 02:14:45,760
Speaker 1: press or all that stuff. You can say a lot

2901
02:14:45,800 --> 02:14:48,360
Speaker 1: of things about justin Fields. That guy has sat there

2902
02:14:48,400 --> 02:14:50,600
Speaker 1: and he has taking the arrows from.

2903
02:14:50,520 --> 02:14:55,000
Speaker 5: All he is taking on slings and arrows left and right.

2904
02:14:55,160 --> 02:14:57,360
Speaker 4: And my thing is this because I know and this

2905
02:14:57,600 --> 02:14:59,840
Speaker 4: always comes to the conversation when it comes to Justin Fields.

2906
02:14:59,840 --> 02:15:02,840
Speaker 4: P people like, were you one year away from paying him?

2907
02:15:02,960 --> 02:15:03,920
Speaker 4: You got to pay him, You got.

2908
02:15:03,960 --> 02:15:04,760
Speaker 5: To do this, No you don't.

2909
02:15:05,120 --> 02:15:06,000
Speaker 4: Okay, let's just say this.

2910
02:15:06,200 --> 02:15:06,320
Speaker 9: Right.

2911
02:15:06,640 --> 02:15:10,080
Speaker 4: So, the next milestone that comes up for Justin Fields

2912
02:15:10,120 --> 02:15:10,800
Speaker 4: is do you want to.

2913
02:15:10,760 --> 02:15:11,800
Speaker 5: Pick up the fifth year option?

2914
02:15:12,000 --> 02:15:14,400
Speaker 4: Right? So, you pick up the fifth year option. I

2915
02:15:14,480 --> 02:15:16,960
Speaker 4: think for him it's not significant. I think it might

2916
02:15:17,000 --> 02:15:21,920
Speaker 4: be fifteen million dollars. Right. Then after that, if you

2917
02:15:22,000 --> 02:15:23,440
Speaker 4: don't want to sign him to the thing, you still

2918
02:15:23,480 --> 02:15:25,840
Speaker 4: have the ability to use the franchise tag. Right. We

2919
02:15:25,960 --> 02:15:32,920
Speaker 4: saw Dallas do that Washington multiple times. So my biggest

2920
02:15:32,960 --> 02:15:35,480
Speaker 4: thing is like, all this stuff is kind of make believe. Oh,

2921
02:15:35,520 --> 02:15:37,080
Speaker 4: you got to sign him to a fifty million No

2922
02:15:37,200 --> 02:15:41,160
Speaker 4: you don't. If you're prudent, you could do it. My

2923
02:15:41,320 --> 02:15:44,000
Speaker 4: other thing would be this just because if you decided

2924
02:15:44,040 --> 02:15:46,320
Speaker 4: to bring in Caleb Williams, why do you have to

2925
02:15:46,440 --> 02:15:49,720
Speaker 4: kick Justin Fields out? We always talk about how long

2926
02:15:49,800 --> 02:15:53,280
Speaker 4: it takes young quarterbacks to develop. Why not keep Justin

2927
02:15:53,280 --> 02:15:55,960
Speaker 4: Fields and let him compete with Caleb Williams. If Caleb

2928
02:15:55,960 --> 02:16:00,320
Speaker 4: Williams is better than him, great he starts. At some

2929
02:16:00,400 --> 02:16:02,480
Speaker 4: point you're going to have to play your backup quarterback

2930
02:16:03,520 --> 02:16:05,880
Speaker 4: and you already are locked into paying him this year

2931
02:16:06,280 --> 02:16:09,480
Speaker 4: six million dollars for like twenty twenty four. So I

2932
02:16:09,520 --> 02:16:11,480
Speaker 4: don't understand the rush to get rid of him because

2933
02:16:11,480 --> 02:16:13,720
Speaker 4: everyone's like, oh, he's going to trade and get him back. Okay, Well,

2934
02:16:14,400 --> 02:16:16,840
Speaker 4: if I'm a team, why would I want to take

2935
02:16:16,960 --> 02:16:18,880
Speaker 4: your player that you say is so good when he's

2936
02:16:18,920 --> 02:16:20,000
Speaker 4: not good enough to start for you?

2937
02:16:20,880 --> 02:16:24,960
Speaker 1: Right now, I'm with you. The other part is I

2938
02:16:25,200 --> 02:16:30,400
Speaker 1: like the percolator. I mean, I will always defend my

2939
02:16:30,560 --> 02:16:34,160
Speaker 1: position with when the Packers drafted Jordan Love was they

2940
02:16:34,200 --> 02:16:37,080
Speaker 1: were doing everything they could with an aging Aaron Rodgers

2941
02:16:37,959 --> 02:16:40,240
Speaker 1: and knowing that they'd built a pretty good team and

2942
02:16:40,320 --> 02:16:42,960
Speaker 1: right now you could say bringing in Montes Sweat, that

2943
02:16:43,160 --> 02:16:46,400
Speaker 1: defense is coming, right, They've they've done some good things.

2944
02:16:46,800 --> 02:16:50,520
Speaker 1: And offensively, you got a couple of pieces in Comet

2945
02:16:51,000 --> 02:16:54,920
Speaker 1: and in dj Moore, and obviously you need more but

2946
02:16:55,320 --> 02:16:57,360
Speaker 1: to let a guy develop and be ready, and we

2947
02:16:57,480 --> 02:17:00,320
Speaker 1: talk about fifty eight starting quarterbacks all of those things.

2948
02:17:00,720 --> 02:17:04,560
Speaker 1: But the Packers remember years ago, and I hate killing

2949
02:17:04,640 --> 02:17:06,720
Speaker 1: the guy, but they had to go to Brent Hunley

2950
02:17:07,400 --> 02:17:09,600
Speaker 1: when Aaron Rodgers got hurt and they'd had a really

2951
02:17:09,640 --> 02:17:11,600
Speaker 1: good start to the year, and then it all went

2952
02:17:11,680 --> 02:17:14,959
Speaker 1: to hell. They were trying to avoid a similar situation.

2953
02:17:15,400 --> 02:17:18,840
Speaker 1: Not to mention, Aaron kept talking about retiring. So anytime

2954
02:17:18,879 --> 02:17:21,960
Speaker 1: anybody complains that they should have drafted a wide receiver

2955
02:17:22,400 --> 02:17:24,800
Speaker 1: or they did this wrong or whatever, it's like, no, no, no,

2956
02:17:25,000 --> 02:17:27,800
Speaker 1: they were being prudent something. A lot of other teams

2957
02:17:27,959 --> 02:17:31,640
Speaker 1: that were at the top didn't. Steelers for years, Chargers

2958
02:17:31,760 --> 02:17:34,760
Speaker 1: for years, Patriots would draft a guy and well, we

2959
02:17:34,800 --> 02:17:37,640
Speaker 1: wouldn't know because nobody got hurt. But for years, did

2960
02:17:37,680 --> 02:17:40,480
Speaker 1: the Chargers or Steelers really have a viable second guy

2961
02:17:40,560 --> 02:17:44,119
Speaker 1: on their roster. No, they just assumed Philip and Ben

2962
02:17:44,240 --> 02:17:48,560
Speaker 1: would be there. So, yeah, sometimes you've got to be prudent,

2963
02:17:48,879 --> 02:17:50,640
Speaker 1: and the Packers tried to do that. And I think

2964
02:17:50,640 --> 02:17:53,360
Speaker 1: with the Bears, same thing. If you then decide justin Fields,

2965
02:17:53,440 --> 02:17:56,440
Speaker 1: isn't your guy lo and behold there's Caleb Williams. Give

2966
02:17:56,520 --> 02:17:57,039
Speaker 1: him a shot.

2967
02:17:57,879 --> 02:18:00,120
Speaker 4: Well, I think that would be this smart plan. And

2968
02:18:00,760 --> 02:18:03,040
Speaker 4: the example that we use is the San Francisco forty

2969
02:18:03,120 --> 02:18:05,600
Speaker 4: nine ers. Right at one time, San Francisco forty nine

2970
02:18:05,640 --> 02:18:08,160
Speaker 4: Ers had Trey Lance number three pick in the draft.

2971
02:18:08,640 --> 02:18:11,080
Speaker 4: They had picked up Sam Donald. No, they had Trey

2972
02:18:11,160 --> 02:18:12,160
Speaker 4: Lance and Jimmy Garoppolo.

2973
02:18:12,200 --> 02:18:13,240
Speaker 1: Jimmy Jimmy was still there.

2974
02:18:13,320 --> 02:18:17,440
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, Trey Lance, Jimmy Garoppolo, and Brock Purty. So

2975
02:18:19,000 --> 02:18:21,199
Speaker 4: if we talk about it being the most important position

2976
02:18:21,320 --> 02:18:24,280
Speaker 4: in football, why wouldn't we commit the resources to make

2977
02:18:24,320 --> 02:18:26,280
Speaker 4: sure that we have two or three quarterbacks that can

2978
02:18:26,320 --> 02:18:27,680
Speaker 4: play like It.

2979
02:18:27,800 --> 02:18:28,680
Speaker 5: Only makes sense to me.

2980
02:18:29,040 --> 02:18:31,879
Speaker 4: If we're playing fifty eight quarterbacks this year, and you're

2981
02:18:31,920 --> 02:18:35,120
Speaker 4: pretty much guaranteed based on the odds that you're going

2982
02:18:35,200 --> 02:18:37,920
Speaker 4: to have to play your second quarterback, why not make

2983
02:18:37,959 --> 02:18:40,600
Speaker 4: sure that you have two good quarterbacks on your roster.

2984
02:18:41,320 --> 02:18:43,840
Speaker 4: And if there are not a lot of journeymen out

2985
02:18:43,920 --> 02:18:48,320
Speaker 4: there that can be viable number twos, why not draft

2986
02:18:48,480 --> 02:18:51,720
Speaker 4: one that can either develop into your number one or

2987
02:18:51,760 --> 02:18:54,920
Speaker 4: it can be a serviceable number two. That's what I

2988
02:18:54,959 --> 02:18:58,840
Speaker 4: don't understand. It should become more like college. I know

2989
02:18:58,920 --> 02:19:02,640
Speaker 4: you're excited. Your Northway Wildcast knocked off Utah, which to

2990
02:19:02,760 --> 02:19:05,360
Speaker 4: me is a big feather in their cap. They did

2991
02:19:05,400 --> 02:19:08,920
Speaker 4: it with a transfer from Cincinnati playing quarterback. They understood

2992
02:19:08,959 --> 02:19:11,600
Speaker 4: the importance of the quarterback position, and that's why they

2993
02:19:11,640 --> 02:19:14,400
Speaker 4: were able to win. You got to have two quarterbacks

2994
02:19:14,440 --> 02:19:15,480
Speaker 4: to be able to win in this league.

2995
02:19:16,240 --> 02:19:18,440
Speaker 1: He's Bucky Brooks, had Bucky Brooks. Where you find them

2996
02:19:18,440 --> 02:19:21,359
Speaker 1: on Twitter Find me over at Swollen Dome. As we continue,

2997
02:19:21,440 --> 02:19:24,440
Speaker 1: we'll get back into the rest of the week sixteen slate.

2998
02:19:24,520 --> 02:19:29,040
Speaker 1: Couple of big matchups and a return bout between quarterbacks

2999
02:19:29,440 --> 02:19:32,360
Speaker 1: nine years in the making. Yeah, that's right, it's been

3000
02:19:32,480 --> 02:19:36,000
Speaker 1: nine years and they're ready for the encore. We'll talk

3001
02:19:36,040 --> 02:19:39,279
Speaker 1: about that matchup because it's pretty big for the playoff implications.

3002
02:19:39,440 --> 02:19:42,080
Speaker 1: We'll do it next here on Fox Sports Radio. Welcome

3003
02:19:42,120 --> 02:19:46,280
Speaker 1: back in Fox Sports Radio, Fox Football Sunday, Bike Harmon

3004

Speaker 1: wherever you are, whoever you're celebrating with. Maybe you just

3006
02:19:54,160 --> 02:19:57,520
Speaker 1: took a little ISO vacation. I'm seeing friends and family

3007
02:19:57,920 --> 02:20:01,720
Speaker 1: traveling to all parts of the globe, all still fixated

3008
02:20:01,840 --> 02:20:05,119
Speaker 1: on their fantasy playoffs and still asking me for advice.

3009
02:20:05,240 --> 02:20:09,240
Speaker 1: Like this came from Sweden. This came from you know,

3010
02:20:09,280 --> 02:20:12,640
Speaker 1: our guy, Arnie Spanier up early this morning out in Vermont.

3011
02:20:13,120 --> 02:20:17,120
Speaker 1: Everybody celebrating. Arnie sends gift baskets to everybody here. Bucky

3012
02:20:18,440 --> 02:20:21,680
Speaker 1: not hosts unless I go and I just randomly start

3013
02:20:21,760 --> 02:20:25,120
Speaker 1: stealing like people did last year. Folks were stealing meat

3014
02:20:25,200 --> 02:20:29,600
Speaker 1: sticks out of there. He sends an assortment of Vermont goodies,

3015
02:20:30,120 --> 02:20:33,039
Speaker 1: and evidently we had a grinch walking around here last year,

3016
02:20:33,160 --> 02:20:36,039
Speaker 1: so we were gonna install little video cameras. So far,

3017
02:20:36,160 --> 02:20:41,240
Speaker 1: there are no reports of similar circumstances this year. A

3018
02:20:41,280 --> 02:20:43,199
Speaker 1: little bit of chaos, you know, you got you gotta

3019
02:20:43,240 --> 02:20:49,000
Speaker 1: have some subterfuge and chaos at the holidays, no question, Well,

3020
02:20:49,080 --> 02:20:50,960
Speaker 1: you know a little bit. I usually like it in

3021
02:20:51,040 --> 02:20:53,640
Speaker 1: between the white lines of the game and not in society.

3022
02:20:54,400 --> 02:20:56,520
Speaker 1: We do live in a society. Hey, do you know

3028
02:21:11,240 --> 02:21:14,920
Speaker 1: card limitations do apply? Do you realize it was nine

3029
02:21:15,000 --> 02:21:18,080
Speaker 1: years ago we got case Keenum versus Joe Flacco, back

3030
02:21:18,160 --> 02:21:20,480
Speaker 1: when we really were talking about Joe Flacco being elite.

3031
02:21:21,600 --> 02:21:24,199
Speaker 1: Because we get that rematch today all these years later.

3032
02:21:25,240 --> 02:21:27,080
Speaker 4: That was not the matchup that I was thinking about,

3033
02:21:27,760 --> 02:21:29,880
Speaker 4: really not the one that you were hoping for. Yeah,

3034
02:21:30,040 --> 02:21:31,520
Speaker 4: that is not the one that I was thinking about.

3035
02:21:31,560 --> 02:21:33,560
Speaker 4: That one did not come to mind when you brought

3036
02:21:33,600 --> 02:21:35,160
Speaker 4: that up. I was not thinking about that.

3037
02:21:35,240 --> 02:21:37,600
Speaker 1: Who were you thinking about? Because remember a lot of

3038
02:21:37,640 --> 02:21:39,879
Speaker 1: these quarterbacks saying around that long anymore?

3039
02:21:40,360 --> 02:21:42,680
Speaker 4: Nah, you're right, you're right. I just didn't have that

3040
02:21:42,760 --> 02:21:45,600
Speaker 4: one was not on my radar. Yeah, who knew? Who knew?

3041
02:21:45,640 --> 02:21:47,760
Speaker 1: Who knew? I could I could bring up a little

3042
02:21:47,920 --> 02:21:51,520
Speaker 1: random piece for you as we go. Cleveland, Houston obviously

3043
02:21:51,680 --> 02:21:56,120
Speaker 1: Cleveland still fighting for a playoff spot, the Texans currently

3044
02:21:56,200 --> 02:21:58,160
Speaker 1: in the eight seed. We've got that long jam, all

3045
02:21:58,200 --> 02:22:00,560
Speaker 1: those nine and six, eight and six and eight and

3046
02:22:00,680 --> 02:22:03,480
Speaker 1: seven squads rolling, because even if you go down to

3047
02:22:04,080 --> 02:22:06,880
Speaker 1: the number eleven seed, the Broncos they've got a date

3048
02:22:07,000 --> 02:22:10,720
Speaker 1: with the Patriots a little bit later on today. And

3049
02:22:11,720 --> 02:22:14,880
Speaker 1: for the Broncos six and a half point favorites over

3050
02:22:15,000 --> 02:22:18,240
Speaker 1: under on that one's thirty four Bucky thirty four.

3051
02:22:19,760 --> 02:22:20,920
Speaker 4: That's not a lot of point.

3052
02:22:21,040 --> 02:22:23,760
Speaker 1: Oh that's not good we got I mean, what do

3053
02:22:23,800 --> 02:22:26,400
Speaker 1: we got? Like six games? I think that are under

3054
02:22:26,560 --> 02:22:30,880
Speaker 1: forty on the slate for today's So another one of

3055
02:22:30,959 --> 02:22:35,080
Speaker 1: those slow ones as we go. But yeah, case keen,

3056
02:22:35,120 --> 02:22:38,199
Speaker 1: I'm going up against the Cleveland Browns, no CJ. Stroud.

3057
02:22:38,240 --> 02:22:41,320
Speaker 1: They're hoping to get him back. Concussion protocol. We saw

3058
02:22:41,400 --> 02:22:45,520
Speaker 1: Michael Pittman junior. When you see that hit multiple times,

3059
02:22:45,680 --> 02:22:49,840
Speaker 1: Casey gets suspended for the year. Tom Brady spoke out

3060
02:22:49,879 --> 02:22:53,640
Speaker 1: about it, talking about quarterbacks and throwing guys into danger,

3061
02:22:54,280 --> 02:22:57,080
Speaker 1: and certainly, you know, I've watched that a bunch of times.

3062
02:22:57,240 --> 02:23:01,200
Speaker 1: You're a you know, NFL defensive back and played at

3063
02:23:01,240 --> 02:23:05,640
Speaker 1: the highest level for years. That is one that I'm

3064
02:23:05,760 --> 02:23:10,240
Speaker 1: just never gonna understand a season long suspension for that.

3065
02:23:10,360 --> 02:23:14,800
Speaker 4: So, well, here's what bothers me, right, So what bothers

3066
02:23:14,879 --> 02:23:18,520
Speaker 4: me is the league makes it where they want the

3067
02:23:18,640 --> 02:23:22,640
Speaker 4: defenders to make all of the decisions when it comes

3068
02:23:22,680 --> 02:23:27,160
Speaker 4: to protecting the player. Right. So you're asking someone who's

3069
02:23:27,200 --> 02:23:29,720
Speaker 4: been talking, because you got a member since they were young,

3070
02:23:29,800 --> 02:23:31,560
Speaker 4: they've been talking run to the ball, run to the ball,

3071
02:23:31,640 --> 02:23:36,240
Speaker 4: run to the ball, run to the ball, get their fast, urgency, urgency, violence, physicality. Bang.

3072
02:23:37,040 --> 02:23:40,720
Speaker 4: So now you get to the highest level and it's hey,

3073
02:23:40,800 --> 02:23:43,520
Speaker 4: you can do that, but now you can't hit him here,

3074
02:23:43,879 --> 02:23:45,800
Speaker 4: you can't hit him there. You have to do it.

3075
02:23:46,400 --> 02:23:49,560
Speaker 4: So on that play, and what I was frustrated about

3076
02:23:49,640 --> 02:23:52,920
Speaker 4: is they didn't want to replay the play in real time.

3077
02:23:53,440 --> 02:23:57,320
Speaker 4: So Garna Minshew throws a deep over to Michael Pittman.

3078
02:23:57,920 --> 02:24:02,400
Speaker 4: The ball is overthrown, so Michael Pittman is leaving his

3079
02:24:02,600 --> 02:24:08,400
Speaker 4: feet to lay out Case has already committed to making

3080
02:24:08,480 --> 02:24:13,240
Speaker 4: the play. He's going to forcefully break up the ball.

3081
02:24:13,959 --> 02:24:17,760
Speaker 4: He can't help that. Michael Pittman has left his feet

3082
02:24:18,480 --> 02:24:21,200
Speaker 4: at that point, and so I'm like, it's not a

3083
02:24:21,320 --> 02:24:24,560
Speaker 4: video game. I can't change in a split second to

3084
02:24:24,680 --> 02:24:27,840
Speaker 4: avoid the contact. Now, some will say, well, you just

3085
02:24:27,879 --> 02:24:29,880
Speaker 4: got to back off and let him catch it. But

3086
02:24:30,040 --> 02:24:33,560
Speaker 4: to me, why are you penalizing the defense for really

3087
02:24:33,600 --> 02:24:35,880
Speaker 4: what was a bad throw on Gardner Minshew's part, which

3088
02:24:35,920 --> 02:24:39,400
Speaker 4: is what Tom Brady speaks about. You're letting the quarterbacks

3089
02:24:39,680 --> 02:24:44,680
Speaker 4: off the hook for their ineptitude as opposed to putting

3090
02:24:44,760 --> 02:24:48,080
Speaker 4: all the blame on the defender and Tom Brady's day.

3091
02:24:48,520 --> 02:24:52,080
Speaker 4: In my day, the quarterback would throw the ball so

3092
02:24:52,240 --> 02:24:54,920
Speaker 4: you knew where the defender was, meaning if he throws

3093
02:24:54,959 --> 02:24:57,400
Speaker 4: it on your back shoulder, he's telling you that there

3094
02:24:57,480 --> 02:25:01,560
Speaker 4: is someone coming on your front side and they used

3095
02:25:01,600 --> 02:25:03,720
Speaker 4: to say, that's why you paid a quarterback at the

3096
02:25:03,760 --> 02:25:06,640
Speaker 4: time twenty million dollars. And so some of this is

3097
02:25:06,800 --> 02:25:08,480
Speaker 4: like Tom Brady says, it's on a quarterback.

3098
02:25:09,840 --> 02:25:13,960
Speaker 1: Yeah. You also didn't have Pittman going up vertically. I

3099
02:25:14,040 --> 02:25:19,200
Speaker 1: mean that was a lay himself out stretch the whole thing, right, Like.

3100
02:25:19,520 --> 02:25:25,640
Speaker 4: He's going horizon trying to catch. Yeah. I just don't

3101
02:25:25,680 --> 02:25:29,600
Speaker 4: know how Caz could have avoided unless you just say, hey, man,

3102
02:25:29,640 --> 02:25:31,400
Speaker 4: I'm just gonna let him catch you, right, you know,

3103
02:25:31,520 --> 02:25:33,320
Speaker 4: I just don't know.

3104
02:25:33,720 --> 02:25:35,959
Speaker 1: Well, because that goes back to the larger discussion we've

3105
02:25:36,000 --> 02:25:38,600
Speaker 1: been having about the hip drop tackle, et cetera. And

3106
02:25:38,720 --> 02:25:40,880
Speaker 1: if I don't get you down within three yards, I

3107
02:25:40,959 --> 02:25:43,560
Speaker 1: have to let you go. Is that how we're legislating

3108
02:25:43,640 --> 02:25:44,119
Speaker 1: this stuff?

3109
02:25:45,080 --> 02:25:47,600
Speaker 4: So because you have to remember all the things that

3110
02:25:47,680 --> 02:25:51,400
Speaker 4: you're doing. Hey, for every action, there's a reaction. So

3111
02:25:52,200 --> 02:25:56,000
Speaker 4: if you don't want players to take certain hits, then

3112
02:25:56,080 --> 02:25:58,039
Speaker 4: they have to go to Plan B when it comes

3113
02:25:58,080 --> 02:26:00,720
Speaker 4: to tackling. You know. So the hip drought tackle, which

3114
02:26:00,720 --> 02:26:02,440
Speaker 4: I'm not a fan of. Obviously it leads to people

3115
02:26:02,480 --> 02:26:05,600
Speaker 4: getting hurt. But sometimes you have these little dbs who

3116
02:26:05,640 --> 02:26:08,280
Speaker 4: are forced with tackling bigger guys, trying to bring guys

3117
02:26:08,360 --> 02:26:11,480
Speaker 4: down so you can't get them down, and in defensive

3118
02:26:11,520 --> 02:26:14,840
Speaker 4: back rooms, in defensive meeting rooms saying any tackle is

3119
02:26:14,840 --> 02:26:17,200
Speaker 4: a good tackle, Just get them to the ground, live

3120
02:26:17,280 --> 02:26:21,520
Speaker 4: to play another day. And of late, in the last

3121
02:26:21,600 --> 02:26:24,560
Speaker 4: five to ten years, all the rules have gone against

3122
02:26:24,600 --> 02:26:27,240
Speaker 4: the defense when it comes to tackling and those things.

3123
02:26:27,760 --> 02:26:32,360
Speaker 4: And I just wish that sometimes when they replayed the games,

3124
02:26:32,760 --> 02:26:35,560
Speaker 4: they would replay it in real time instead of slow motion,

3125
02:26:35,959 --> 02:26:38,520
Speaker 4: because I think we as the viewing public, get a

3126
02:26:38,640 --> 02:26:41,200
Speaker 4: false sense of, oh, well, he had enough time to

3127
02:26:41,280 --> 02:26:43,080
Speaker 4: make it. I think they need to play some of

3128
02:26:43,120 --> 02:26:45,320
Speaker 4: these things in real time so you can see the

3129
02:26:45,440 --> 02:26:48,600
Speaker 4: milliseconds in the nano seconds that stuff. A lot of

3130
02:26:48,640 --> 02:26:53,440
Speaker 4: this stuff is bang bang, and any slight change meaning

3131
02:26:53,920 --> 02:26:57,560
Speaker 4: wide receiver ducts his head, someone flinches at the last minute,

3132
02:26:58,000 --> 02:26:59,520
Speaker 4: it changes the target area.

3133
02:26:59,640 --> 02:27:07,280
Speaker 1: About the time. Quarterbacks going and slide late yeah right, yeah,

3134
02:27:07,280 --> 02:27:10,280
Speaker 1: I'm going down and it's like, oh, he's slid penalty, Like,

3135
02:27:10,400 --> 02:27:12,840
Speaker 1: welly couldn't he. I would have hit him square in

3136
02:27:12,920 --> 02:27:16,560
Speaker 1: the chest if you didn't in that last second slide.

3137
02:27:17,240 --> 02:27:20,680
Speaker 4: And then we've seen some quarterbacks abuse the theme where

3138
02:27:20,680 --> 02:27:22,520
Speaker 4: they wait till the last minute and they kind of

3139
02:27:22,720 --> 02:27:25,160
Speaker 4: gather like they're going to slide, and then they keep running.

3140
02:27:25,760 --> 02:27:28,080
Speaker 4: And so if you're darn if you do, dawn if

3141
02:27:28,120 --> 02:27:29,920
Speaker 4: you don't. And so it's just one of those things

3142
02:27:29,959 --> 02:27:33,520
Speaker 4: where you almost just have to tell you guys, hey man,

3143
02:27:33,600 --> 02:27:36,360
Speaker 4: we'll just deal with it. We'll take it. But for KZ,

3144
02:27:36,560 --> 02:27:41,520
Speaker 4: because he had I guess, five previous defenses, five previous transgressions,

3145
02:27:41,560 --> 02:27:43,440
Speaker 4: that's why he got the season long suspension, much like

3146
02:27:43,520 --> 02:27:47,560
Speaker 4: Kareem Jackson and Denver was suspended for three games, I

3147
02:27:47,640 --> 02:27:51,480
Speaker 4: think for his repeated behavior when it came to the

3148
02:27:51,640 --> 02:27:53,439
Speaker 4: hits and illegal.

3149
02:27:53,120 --> 02:27:55,000
Speaker 1: Hits eventually come over the top.

3150
02:27:55,280 --> 02:27:55,400

Speaker 1: up next, we'll talk about the gifts giftage. Right, we

3161
02:28:27,080 --> 02:28:30,320
Speaker 1: talked about golf carts, whatever. There's a baseball player that

3162
02:28:30,440 --> 02:28:33,720
Speaker 1: went over the top based on a campaign. I want

3163
02:28:33,720 --> 02:28:37,080
Speaker 1: to see if you've ever experienced any anything even close

3164
02:28:37,160 --> 02:28:40,440
Speaker 1: to this in your professional world, Bucky Brooks. But first

3165
02:28:40,480 --> 02:28:43,320
Speaker 1: we're gonna kick it over to our guy, Isaac Lowincron

3166
02:28:43,640 --> 02:28:48,280
Speaker 1: still celebrating the greatness of Dicker the kicker yesterday in

3167
02:28:48,360 --> 02:28:50,400
Speaker 1: a narrow loss to the Bills. Hell of an effort

3168
02:28:50,440 --> 02:28:51,199
Speaker 1: from the kicker.

3169
02:28:51,720 --> 02:28:55,440
Speaker 10: As the Chargers say in there, Cameron Dicker for Pro

3170
02:28:55,600 --> 02:28:56,440
Speaker 10: Bowl campaign.

3171
02:28:57,200 --> 02:29:00,760
Speaker 3: Don't be a bleep vote for Dicker dot dot DoD.

3172
02:29:00,959 --> 02:29:03,880
Speaker 10: We'll let people's imaginations out there run wild on that one,

3173
02:29:03,959 --> 02:29:06,760
Speaker 10: but you're absolutely right. Indeed, five for five on field

3174
02:29:06,800 --> 02:29:10,760
Speaker 10: goals yesterday, twenty four out of twenty five on the season,

3175
02:29:10,840 --> 02:29:13,880
Speaker 10: and despite those five field goals, the Buffalo Bills still

3176
02:29:13,920 --> 02:29:17,119
Speaker 10: got passed the Chargers twenty four to twenty two. As

3177
02:29:17,200 --> 02:29:20,560
Speaker 10: it was Dicker's counterpart Tyler Bass of Buffalo nailing the

3178
02:29:20,600 --> 02:29:23,360
Speaker 10: game winning twenty nine yard field goal with twenty eight

3179
02:29:23,440 --> 02:29:25,680
Speaker 10: seconds to play, So the Bills now nine and six.

3180
02:29:25,840 --> 02:29:27,880
Speaker 10: The win moved them from the eight seed to the

3181
02:29:28,040 --> 02:29:32,040
Speaker 10: sixth seed in the AFC. Earlier Saturday, the Pittsburgh Steelers

3182
02:29:32,120 --> 02:29:35,840
Speaker 10: trouts the Cincinnati Bengals thirty four to eleven. Steelers receiver

3183
02:29:36,080 --> 02:29:39,480
Speaker 10: George Pickens four catches for one hundred and ninety five yards,

3184
02:29:39,720 --> 02:29:44,279
Speaker 10: including touchdown receptions of eighty six yards and sixty six yards.

3185
02:29:44,520 --> 02:29:47,199
Speaker 10: So who needs to block if you can do that anyway?

3186
02:29:47,240 --> 02:29:49,879
Speaker 10: The Steelers now the nine seed at eight and seven.

3187
02:29:50,160 --> 02:29:52,320
Speaker 10: The Bengals dropped to the ten seed, even though they're

3188
02:29:52,360 --> 02:29:56,200
Speaker 10: also eight and seven. NFL media reporting Titans quarterback Will

3189
02:29:56,280 --> 02:29:59,240
Speaker 10: Levis not expected to play today against the Seahawks because

3190
02:29:59,280 --> 02:30:02,120
Speaker 10: of a high anchor sprain meeting. Ryan Tannehill would get

3191
02:30:02,160 --> 02:30:02,520
Speaker 10: the start.

3192
02:30:02,920 --> 02:30:03,560
Speaker 4: In the NBA.

3193
02:30:03,640 --> 02:30:06,760
Speaker 10: Saturday night, the Detroit Pistons lost at Brooklyn won twenty

Speaker 10: six to one fifteen, tying the NBA single season record

3195
02:30:10,520 --> 02:30:14,920
Speaker 10: with their twenty sixth consecutive loss. Lebron James scored forty

3196
02:30:15,080 --> 02:30:17,640
Speaker 10: in the Los Angeles Lakers one twenty nine to one

3197

Speaker 10: nineteen win over San Antonio and get this San Antonio

3200
02:30:28,800 --> 02:30:32,120
Speaker 10: rookie Victor wembin Yama was a late scratch after he

3201
02:30:32,240 --> 02:30:35,840
Speaker 10: sprained his right ankle when he stepped on a ball

3202
02:30:35,959 --> 02:30:41,320
Speaker 10: boy during pregame warmups. I am seriously concerned about the

3203
02:30:41,440 --> 02:30:46,720
Speaker 10: whereabouts of that ball boy, kivin who Victor amas coach is,

3204
02:30:46,800 --> 02:30:48,320
Speaker 10: and the fact that he may or may not have

3205
02:30:48,360 --> 02:30:50,360
Speaker 10: once worked for the CIA allegedly back to.

3206
02:30:50,360 --> 02:30:54,680
Speaker 1: You, Well, look they're losing anyway, so I mean, yeah,

3207
02:30:54,760 --> 02:30:56,440
Speaker 1: just sit him for a couple of weeks. Who's gonna

3208
02:30:56,440 --> 02:30:56,920
Speaker 1: say anything.

3209
02:30:57,040 --> 02:31:00,320
Speaker 10: Reminds me of when Shack got tripped by Larry David

3210
02:31:00,400 --> 02:31:02,480
Speaker 10: on that episode Your Enthusiasm and.

3211
02:31:04,280 --> 02:31:06,320
Speaker 1: Had Isaac Low and Kyle where you find him on Twitter.

3212
02:31:06,480 --> 02:31:10,080
Speaker 1: I mean, look, if it wasn't for the Detroit Pistons,

3213
02:31:10,120 --> 02:31:12,880
Speaker 1: we'd be talking about a lot more about how poorly

3214
02:31:13,360 --> 02:31:15,760
Speaker 1: the Spurs have played this year. Other than that win

3215
02:31:15,879 --> 02:31:19,000
Speaker 1: against the Lakers. That's been an absolute train wreck since

3216
02:31:19,040 --> 02:31:20,160
Speaker 1: the first week of the season.

3217
02:31:21,400 --> 02:31:24,280
Speaker 4: So here's the thing, right, Okay, so everyone will take

3218
02:31:24,360 --> 02:31:28,200
Speaker 4: Bill Belichick to task. The same conversation that you have

3219
02:31:28,560 --> 02:31:32,560
Speaker 4: regarding Bill Belichick, you can have with Greg Popavi. Pop

3220
02:31:32,600 --> 02:31:35,960
Speaker 4: has won five titles. Belichick has won six. Pop won

3221
02:31:36,040 --> 02:31:39,200
Speaker 4: those titles with Tim Duncan, Tony Parker and managing Noble

3222
02:31:39,480 --> 02:31:43,080
Speaker 4: Kenny being the centerpiece. Three Hall of Fame caliber players

3223
02:31:43,240 --> 02:31:46,480
Speaker 4: that he had Bill Belichick one he is, He'll have

3224
02:31:46,640 --> 02:31:48,440
Speaker 4: Tom Brady as the Hall of Famer. He has some

3225
02:31:48,560 --> 02:31:51,320
Speaker 4: other good players. You remove the Hall of Fame players.

3226
02:31:52,240 --> 02:31:55,920
Speaker 4: It hasn't gone as well as we would think given

3227
02:31:56,320 --> 02:32:00,560
Speaker 4: how we viewed those coaches. So should he had been

3228
02:32:00,640 --> 02:32:04,200
Speaker 4: fired from the San Antonios first, like we're campaigning to

3229
02:32:04,280 --> 02:32:07,360
Speaker 4: fire Bill Belichick? Or do we recognize you can't be

3230
02:32:07,480 --> 02:32:10,520
Speaker 4: a great coach without having great players? Well?

3231
02:32:10,560 --> 02:32:12,680
Speaker 1: And I think that's the thing, right, is that the

3232
02:32:13,280 --> 02:32:17,720
Speaker 1: Wehm bin Yama arrival restarts the clock for him. So

3233
02:32:17,879 --> 02:32:19,920
Speaker 1: at Belichick were to stay in New England and have

3234
02:32:20,000 --> 02:32:22,160
Speaker 1: a top five quarterback, does that do it for him?

3235
02:32:22,840 --> 02:32:26,280
Speaker 1: I don't know. As long as he gave up GM role,

3236
02:32:26,360 --> 02:32:29,680
Speaker 1: I think you'd be fine with the actual coach most

3237
02:32:29,720 --> 02:32:30,080
Speaker 1: of the time.

3238
02:32:30,160 --> 02:32:32,440
Speaker 4: Can he ever give up the GM role up?

3239
02:32:32,480 --> 02:32:33,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the question, right.

3240
02:32:34,640 --> 02:32:36,240
Speaker 4: I mean I think he and Pop I think they're

3241
02:32:36,280 --> 02:32:39,880
Speaker 4: the same because Pop isn't the GM, but he is,

3242
02:32:40,480 --> 02:32:43,080
Speaker 4: you know what I mean? But he is like he

3243
02:32:43,400 --> 02:32:46,040
Speaker 4: controls everybody who comes in and out of the organization.

3244
02:32:47,760 --> 02:32:52,440
Speaker 4: And look, I just think it's the recognition for everybody.

3245
02:32:52,959 --> 02:32:56,119
Speaker 4: There's never been a Hall of Fame coach who hasn't

3246
02:32:56,200 --> 02:32:57,560
Speaker 4: had Hall of Fame players.

3247
02:32:59,200 --> 02:33:00,920
Speaker 5: You're connected by that.

3248
02:33:01,520 --> 02:33:04,120
Speaker 4: It takes great players to allow you to be your

3249
02:33:04,160 --> 02:33:06,360
Speaker 4: greatest as a coach. You can be a great coach,

3250
02:33:06,400 --> 02:33:10,200
Speaker 4: but if you don't have great players, you can get

3251
02:33:10,240 --> 02:33:12,840
Speaker 4: your team too good, but you're not gonna win a championship.

3252
02:33:13,280 --> 02:33:14,800
Speaker 1: Tailor is the oldest tosky.

3253
02:33:15,360 --> 02:33:18,520
Speaker 5: I think that's that's that's the thing, man.

3254
02:33:19,080 --> 02:33:21,800
Speaker 1: That's the secret to it, all right, all right. I

3255
02:33:21,879 --> 02:33:23,880
Speaker 1: wanted to pay this off real quick. Did you see

3256
02:33:24,680 --> 02:33:27,360
Speaker 1: what Ashley Kelly got for Christmas yesterday?

3257
02:33:28,560 --> 02:33:30,520
Speaker 4: Oh? Yeah, because the Dodgers are all the way in.

3258
02:33:31,000 --> 02:33:35,039
Speaker 4: Otani did a great job of making Kelly's wife happy

3259
02:33:35,280 --> 02:33:36,600
Speaker 4: so he could get number seventeen.

3260
02:33:36,840 --> 02:33:40,480
Speaker 1: The little Porsche right horse showed up at the front.

3261
02:33:40,600 --> 02:33:44,480
Speaker 1: It's yours from show Hay, So she had the oh

3262
02:33:45,600 --> 02:33:50,440
Speaker 1: I guess, oh take seventeen, So show up and we'll

3263
02:33:50,440 --> 02:33:53,760
Speaker 1: give you a number seventeen as your jersey number. So

3264
02:33:53,840 --> 02:33:57,600
Speaker 1: he shows up and show Hey sends a Porsche to

3265
02:33:57,800 --> 02:34:02,480
Speaker 1: Ashley Kelly that's not a bad little Christmas bonus, not a.

3266
02:34:02,480 --> 02:34:06,000
Speaker 4: Bad Christmas bonus. Everybody's happy. Then he got his buddy

3267
02:34:06,080 --> 02:34:08,160
Speaker 4: to sign. No one thought that his buddy would go.

3268
02:34:08,240 --> 02:34:12,160
Speaker 4: I know, your guys really disappointed Jason, because I know

3269
02:34:12,280 --> 02:34:15,680
Speaker 4: Jason thought the Mets had my guy wrapped up. Yeah.

3270
02:34:16,360 --> 02:34:19,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, you could see it coming from a mile away though, Yeah,

3271
02:34:20,280 --> 02:34:22,320
Speaker 1: that the Dodgers would do it. And I mean, once

3272
02:34:22,400 --> 02:34:25,520
Speaker 1: Otani agreed to the structure that he did with his deal,

3273
02:34:26,640 --> 02:34:28,320
Speaker 1: oh it's pretty obvious.

3274
02:34:28,520 --> 02:34:30,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, yeah.

3275
02:34:30,840 --> 02:34:32,880
Speaker 1: I mean, well, and you lean in and you know,

3276
02:34:32,920 --> 02:34:35,040
Speaker 1: I made the argument. You can find the podcast wherever

3277
02:34:35,120 --> 02:34:37,840
Speaker 1: it's up. You know, we talk about Evil Empire twenty

3278
02:34:37,959 --> 02:34:40,920
Speaker 1: twenty four. I also talk about the changing of the business.

3279
02:34:40,959 --> 02:34:43,480
Speaker 1: You're not just looking at it for what's on the field.

3280
02:34:43,800 --> 02:34:48,600
Speaker 1: I mean, Dodger's taking the holistic global approach to making

3281
02:34:48,760 --> 02:34:51,560
Speaker 1: money in addition to bringing in big time players.

3282
02:34:52,160 --> 02:34:55,920
Speaker 4: So, Mike Harmon, let's talk about the multicultural presence on

3283
02:34:56,080 --> 02:34:59,400
Speaker 4: this team, right, and how they can draw from everybody.

3284
02:34:59,440 --> 02:35:01,080
Speaker 4: You know, how they they have theme nights.

3285
02:35:01,280 --> 02:35:03,240
Speaker 5: Yep, just think about the various.

3286
02:35:03,000 --> 02:35:04,800
Speaker 4: Theme nights that they can have. If you got Mookie

3287
02:35:04,840 --> 02:35:09,960
Speaker 4: Bets you got Freddy Freeman, you now have two Japanese stars.

3288
02:35:10,600 --> 02:35:13,080
Speaker 4: I mean, you have all this influence on this team,

3289
02:35:13,240 --> 02:35:16,840
Speaker 4: like it is a kaleidoscope of folks that are on

3290
02:35:17,040 --> 02:35:21,520
Speaker 4: the Dodgers team they have. Basically, the team reflects the city.

3291
02:35:22,400 --> 02:35:26,040
Speaker 4: It's rare that that happens, but this team reflects the

3292
02:35:26,879 --> 02:35:30,480
Speaker 4: multi ethnicity of the city of Lay. So when you

3293
02:35:30,520 --> 02:35:34,920
Speaker 4: think about selling out marketing campaigns, the Dodgers gonna make

3294
02:35:34,959 --> 02:35:37,760
Speaker 4: their money back hand over fist with the players that

3295
02:35:37,760 --> 02:35:38,360
Speaker 4: they've brought yet.

3296
02:35:38,480 --> 02:35:41,240
Speaker 1: Well, think about the international dollars. They haven't even sold

3297
02:35:41,320 --> 02:35:45,480
Speaker 1: the patch on the jersey yet, so think about the

3298
02:35:45,800 --> 02:35:50,200
Speaker 1: bidding wars for that Dodger dog and helmet nachos on me.

3299
02:35:50,920 --> 02:35:53,680
Speaker 1: Once we get into the season, Bucky, we'll go take

3300
02:35:53,720 --> 02:35:57,600
Speaker 1: in a game and I'll pay tribute to the New

3303
02:36:06,600 --> 02:36:09,640
Speaker 1: San Francisco has all the headlines. We'll go to the

3304
02:36:09,760 --> 02:36:12,560
Speaker 1: undercard because I think there's a lot of interesting components

3305
02:36:12,600 --> 02:36:14,800
Speaker 1: there and we'll head down to South Beach. We'll do

3320
02:37:04,160 --> 02:37:07,880
Speaker 1: Shay and Mark being with us this morning. Ilo here

3321
02:37:08,000 --> 02:37:11,120
Speaker 1: with us as well. So the team which is you

3322
02:37:11,240 --> 02:37:16,039
Speaker 1: all happy and merry Christmas, good family gatherings, good memories

3323
02:37:16,440 --> 02:37:19,800
Speaker 1: and all of that stuff. As you go, Bucky, which

3324
02:37:19,840 --> 02:37:23,080
Speaker 1: offensive line is in a better position to create havoc.

3325
02:37:23,440 --> 02:37:26,960
Speaker 1: Is it the Dolphins or the Cowboys or is it

3326
02:37:27,080 --> 02:37:29,360
Speaker 1: just gonna be a Christmas miracle to get five guys

3327
02:37:29,400 --> 02:37:30,000
Speaker 1: to work together.

3328
02:37:30,959 --> 02:37:32,280
Speaker 4: Now, I think it's gonna be tough, but I would

3329
02:37:32,280 --> 02:37:34,720
Speaker 4: say the Dolphins a better position just because the talent

3330
02:37:34,800 --> 02:37:37,640
Speaker 4: on the outside. When you look at the Cowboys, the

3331
02:37:37,680 --> 02:37:39,600
Speaker 4: Cowboys basically have Michael Parsons.

3332
02:37:39,640 --> 02:37:41,880
Speaker 5: They have good players up front, but he's the guy

3333
02:37:42,080 --> 02:37:42,520
Speaker 5: up front.

3334
02:37:42,600 --> 02:37:44,840
Speaker 4: For the Dolphins, you have a couple of guys playing

3335
02:37:44,879 --> 02:37:47,480
Speaker 4: for the Bradley Chubb has really come into his own,

3336
02:37:47,600 --> 02:37:50,560
Speaker 4: really settled in in Vic Fangio's defense, and so they're

3337
02:37:50,640 --> 02:37:52,280
Speaker 4: muddied up. So I'm gonna go with the Dolphins been

3338
02:37:52,280 --> 02:37:54,640
Speaker 4: in a better position on the offensive line to be

3339
02:37:54,680 --> 02:37:55,920
Speaker 4: able to dominate in the trenches.

3340
02:37:56,000 --> 02:37:58,880
Speaker 1: It's tough. We see Smith is out for the Cowboys.

3341
02:37:58,959 --> 02:38:02,480
Speaker 1: You've also got a couple of other injuries up front.

3342
02:38:03,080 --> 02:38:06,400
Speaker 1: The Dolphins. I guess we could probably say they just

3343
02:38:06,480 --> 02:38:09,360
Speaker 1: gave guys days off to a degree in the middle

3344
02:38:09,400 --> 02:38:13,520
Speaker 1: of this week. But a big battle here because both

3345
02:38:13,600 --> 02:38:16,440
Speaker 1: teams trying to shed some of the reputation and get

3346
02:38:16,480 --> 02:38:20,200
Speaker 1: themselves right for the playoff. Per push, you know, from

3347
02:38:20,280 --> 02:38:23,119
Speaker 1: Miami to a tongue of ba loa, you know, bolstered

3348
02:38:23,160 --> 02:38:26,760
Speaker 1: by a chan and moster with the touchdown machine that

3349
02:38:26,879 --> 02:38:30,400
Speaker 1: he has been for Dallas. Dak Prescott had the MVP

3350
02:38:31,480 --> 02:38:33,840
Speaker 1: talk all about and then they go out and get

3351
02:38:34,040 --> 02:38:37,200
Speaker 1: get worked. So both trying to shed some of the

3352
02:38:37,640 --> 02:38:40,080
Speaker 1: fake tough guy image that's been perpetrated.

3353
02:38:41,600 --> 02:38:43,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, trying to shed some of that.

3354
02:38:43,480 --> 02:38:45,720
Speaker 4: I mean, look, it is what it is. I don't

3355
02:38:45,720 --> 02:38:49,600
Speaker 4: think the toughness will really be revealed until they have

3356
02:38:49,720 --> 02:38:51,880
Speaker 4: to play against a team that is known as a

3357
02:38:51,920 --> 02:38:53,760
Speaker 4: tough team. The Miami Dolphins still aren't known as a

3358
02:38:53,840 --> 02:38:57,560
Speaker 4: tough team like the tough teams would be, like the

3359
02:38:57,760 --> 02:38:59,680
Speaker 4: San Francisco forty nine. Is being able to deal with

3360
02:38:59,720 --> 02:39:03,760
Speaker 4: them having to have maybe a matchup with the Detroit Lions,

3361
02:39:03,760 --> 02:39:06,440
Speaker 4: who's a physical, tough team. You won't be able to

3362
02:39:06,520 --> 02:39:08,800
Speaker 4: be respected until you have to do hard stuff against

3363
02:39:08,800 --> 02:39:10,640
Speaker 4: a team that is known as a hardcore team.

3364
02:39:11,080 --> 02:39:14,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's the curiosity for both them and the kind

3365
02:39:14,400 --> 02:39:16,880
Speaker 1: of mirror each other in a lot of ways. The

3366
02:39:17,120 --> 02:39:21,480
Speaker 1: bravado is obviously you've got your Jacksonville Tampa game, but

3367
02:39:21,640 --> 02:39:23,520
Speaker 1: you look at the rest of the slate. I mean,

3368
02:39:23,640 --> 02:39:26,680
Speaker 1: Detroit Minnesota has has a lot of intrigue to it.

3369
02:39:27,440 --> 02:39:30,800
Speaker 1: You know, Detroit on the road, but still indoors. Minnesota.

3370
02:39:30,879 --> 02:39:33,600
Speaker 1: Finally turning the reins over to ty Chandler in the

3371
02:39:33,720 --> 02:39:37,040
Speaker 1: backfield Jared Goff at least for one week, solved some

3372
02:39:37,160 --> 02:39:40,040
Speaker 1: of the turnover problems. How much can they get after

Speaker 5: No, I think Detroit understands what they can do.

3376
02:39:43,920 --> 02:39:45,920
Speaker 4: They can win the division for the first time in

3377
02:39:46,000 --> 02:39:48,840
Speaker 4: a long time, and so this would be it should

02:39:57,720 --> 02:39:58,760
