Speaker 1: You know, look, you know, I'm not the grinch.

12
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 2: I'm not one of those people that's just always down

13
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:37,639
Speaker 2: and picking and just why. But the point is this,

14
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 2: I'm watching yesterday and maybe the most games I've ever

15
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:42,920
Speaker 2: watched in one setting at one time.

16
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:45,479
Speaker 1: But this too much, It's too much in one day.

17
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 2: I just don't understand how you could digest that stuff.

18
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 1: I get it.

19
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 2: The people in Vegas is sitting down there and laying

20
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:52,880
Speaker 2: down some good green Backs and Betty.

21
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:53,199
Speaker 1: That's what they do.

22
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 2: But look, why all at once they are the three

23
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 2: college games, they had two NFL games and in between

24
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 2: I'm waiting for the Ohio State football game last night

25
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:05,680
Speaker 2: against Tennessee. What did I do? I'm watching Ohio State

26
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 2: Kentucky basketball. It's too much. I don't get it. Why

27
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 2: the overlapping? Maybe I'm crazy, Maybe it's me. Maybe Bucky

28
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 2: Brooks has an answer, because he's the voice of reason

29
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 2: on this show.

30
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 1: He really is. Bucky. How are you? How are you? Tumby?

31
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 3: I'm good? Andy? What's going on? You had too much

32
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:21,040
Speaker 3: football yesterday?

33
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 2: I could get away for the TV. I mean it's ridiculous.

34
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 2: I mean, the overlapping of the sports is nuts. And

35
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 2: to have three of those football games in one day

36
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 2: and then two NFL games, Shame on the NFL. Let

37
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:35,120
Speaker 2: the colleges have their day, really stay on Sunday.

38
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 1: I mean, maybe I'm not. Am I the only one

39
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 1: that thinks this. I don't know. Maybe I am.

40
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 3: You might you are the only one. And this is

41
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 3: why when you think about the NFL and you think

42
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 3: about what they were doing. They had to have games

43
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 3: on Saturday to be able to have the Christmas games

44
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 3: on Wednesday. You have to have a number of days

45
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 3: in between. And if you think about the teams that

46
00:01:56,480 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 3: are playing on Christmas, it's a a round robin, a jamboree.

47
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 3: So the teams that played on Saturday are gonna be

48
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 3: the same teams that play on Wednesday on Christmas to

49
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 3: just switch in the matchups. So that's why they were

50
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:11,640
Speaker 3: able to do it. I'm sure if they could, they

51
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 3: would have avoided stealing some of the shine from the

52
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:16,639
Speaker 3: college football playoff. But I don't really know if that's

53
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:17,359
Speaker 3: even true.

54
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,079
Speaker 2: And if there was no shin let me say there

55
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 2: was no shine in the college football playoff that wasn't well,

56
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 2: we'll get that in the minute.

57
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 1: By the way, good morning to you.

58
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:27,360
Speaker 2: I don't mean to jump all over everybody at one

59
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,360
Speaker 2: point in time, but you know, are you ready for

60
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:29,959
Speaker 2: the holidays?

61
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 1: That's the most important question. That was the family.

62
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 3: Everything good, Everything is good. I am ready for the holidays.

63
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 2: There you go, Okay, that's important. Now let's talk about

64
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 2: this college football. I'm all excited.

65
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 3: I was ready.

66
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 2: It was supposed to be the greatest twelve teams on

67
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:43,360
Speaker 2: the face of the earth were getting.

68
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 1: Ready for the playoffs.

69
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 2: A couple of wards are gonna throw out there, disappointing,

70
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 2: I'll let down, frustrating, maybe even a farce. These are

71
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 2: some of the terms, I think you to toss out

72
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 2: after the first round of this new and almost improved

73
00:02:57,639 --> 00:02:58,920
Speaker 2: not improved, but new and.

74
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 1: Almost improved college football player.

75
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,799
Speaker 2: Okay, and I'm gonna let old Miss coach Lane Kiffin

76
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 2: take it from here on his thoughts on the opening

77
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,920
Speaker 2: weekend what was hyped up as the best dozen college

78
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,079
Speaker 2: football teams in the land. Because he was all over

79
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,920
Speaker 2: social media yesterday, the old Miss coach Lane Kiffin. He

80
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 2: was criticized the College Football Playoff Selection Committee, and obviously

81
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 2: it's a little bit of solid grace because his team

82
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:22,119
Speaker 2: didn't get in back to back blowouts in the first round.

83
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 2: Not You Dame over Indiana twenty seven to seventeen. That

84
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 2: game was ugly, not for Oja Dame, but for the

85
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 2: fans point of view. It was ugly Friday night. Okay.

86
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 2: Then you got Penn State. They had a couple of

87
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 2: pick sixers in there. They covered SMU thirty eight ten.

88
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 2: That was on Saturday. I mean, it's unbelievable yesterday what

89
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 2: was going on SMU, Penn State, Clemston, Texas, Texas thirty

90
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 2: eight twenty four that basically was a round. And the last,

91
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 2: but not least, it was Ohio State I mean they

92
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 2: shut out Tennessee in the entire second half forty two seventeen. Look,

93
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 2: you could cut a point the finger at the judges

94
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 2: and the rules committee and.

95
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 1: What they did with this tournament. I enjoy it. I

96
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 1: like college football, but there's something's got to be missed.

97
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 2: Something's wrong here, and maybe they should just eliminate having

98
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 2: college champions going automatically with the automatic leader. I don't

99
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 2: know what they could do. Well, maybe it just worked

100
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 2: out this when that the games are lopsided.

101
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 3: I don't know, Andy, I don't know why everyone is

102
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 3: upset about the first round matchups. It's like the NCAA

103
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:24,119
Speaker 3: tournament March Madnis. We don't get upset when the number

104
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 3: one seed blows out the number sixteen seed. We don't

105
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 3: get upset. We may see one upset, you know, five

106
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 3: and twelve has been one. Sometimes four knocks off I

107
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:35,719
Speaker 3: mean thirteen knocks off four. But in general, the first

108
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,679
Speaker 3: round of the playoffs are always kind of like chalk,

109
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,600
Speaker 3: And what we had an opportunity to see is just

110
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 3: the differences between, like I would say, the heavyweights and

111
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 3: the lightweight teams that were in the tournament. To me,

112
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 3: it was very clear and apparent that in the College

113
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 3: Football Playoff, the jimmies and joe's matter far more than

114
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 3: the x'es and o's, and the teams that advanced were

115
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 3: the teams that had the better jimmies and joe's. And

116
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:01,599
Speaker 3: it was very clear in appearance from the jump. And

117
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 3: I know everyone likes to point out SMU and Indiana

118
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:08,359
Speaker 3: and all the SEC guys were weighing in they shouldn't

119
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:11,040
Speaker 3: have been in. But then I think Tennessee plays in

120
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 3: the SEC right, and Tennessee has some notable wins against

121
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 3: some of those teams that are crying about getting in,

122
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 3: and Tennessee got molliwack by Ohio State. This is the

123
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 3: part of it to me, I don't understand, Like maybe

124
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 3: it's like coach, we just don't like to have nice stuff,

125
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 3: like we finally get something that we want right. We

126
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 3: want to see an expanded tournament. We want to see

127
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:34,359
Speaker 3: all the teams go like it's a bigger field, and

128
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 3: yet we spend most of the day Friday and Saturday

129
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,280
Speaker 3: complaining about the matchups that we saw. I really don't

130
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 3: know what we want to see. Like we want every

131
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 3: playoff game to be competitive, it's not even competitive, like

132
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 3: that when we come to the NFL playoffs, I think

133
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:52,920
Speaker 3: we have unreasonable expectations for what this should have been.

134
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 1: No, I think you're right. I will tell you this much.

135
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 2: To listen to Old Miss coach Lane Kiff and read

136
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:00,160
Speaker 2: what he had to say on social media, to me,

137
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:01,839
Speaker 2: it sounds like so great. So let's go back and

138
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 2: see why Ole Miss had one of the worst losses

139
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 2: of the year the top twenty five teams. They lost

140
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:09,040
Speaker 2: to Kentucky at home twenty seventeen. That was the dagger

141
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:12,360
Speaker 2: right there. Okay, And it was the only win for

142
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 2: Kentucky against the Power Conference team and the second game

143
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:19,839
Speaker 2: against what brock vandergriff Claire two hundred yards passing. The

144
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 2: other game was against Ohio.

145
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:21,599
Speaker 1: Okay.

146
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:23,839
Speaker 2: The Rebels also picked up two more losses during the

147
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 2: season over time. They lost to LSU and what was

148
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 2: the other lost the lost of Florida, I.

149
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 1: Think as well. So they lost three games.

150
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 2: So I'm not so certain that that people are gonna

151
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 2: believe what Old Miss coach Langkiff for that to say,

152
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 2: because I don't think this team really deserved to go.

153
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 2: But there is more pushback on these games yesterday than

154
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 2: they wore when they had the four teams and the

155
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:45,719
Speaker 2: fifth team was always pressed against the glass and couldn't

156
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,279
Speaker 2: get in. And I don't understand why. I guess people

157
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 2: can make the argument, well, Indiana, they were certainly outclassed

158
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,600
Speaker 2: by Notre Dame. But look they finished with a tie

159
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:56,679
Speaker 2: with Penn State and the Big Ten with the record

160
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,160
Speaker 2: of eleven and one, and according to the rules and

161
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:02,040
Speaker 2: the rules committee and what the deal was, they go,

162
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 2: that's the way it is.

163
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:04,840
Speaker 1: Maybe they should change it. I don't know.

164
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:08,280
Speaker 2: But again, they didn't play anybody. They only played Ohio

165
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 2: State and that's the team that lost to So I

166
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 2: don't know how it could change it. If you love football,

167
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 2: it was a great day. If you have a team

168
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 2: of favor that you like and they didn't get in,

169
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 2: I'm sorry. You know everybody's still crying about Alabama. Don't

170
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 2: lose three games and you go.

171
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 3: I mean to me, it's pretty simple, Like that's really

172
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 3: what it came down to. You control your own fate.

173
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 3: Play the teams on your schedule, beat those teams, don't

174
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 3: have any egregious losses, and you're able to go. There's

175
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 3: no way you can leave an eleven to one team

176
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 3: from the Big ten out of the tournament, just like

177
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 3: there's no way that you could have left an SEC

178
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 3: team that had a ten eleven wins out of the

179
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 3: tournament as well. I mean, I think we got exactly

180
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 3: what we expected when it came to the playoff field. Clemson,

181
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 3: who was the champion, Like, they played a competitive game

182
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 3: against Texas, but they were overmatched in those games too.

183
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 3: This is the round where we'll have an opportunity to

184
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 3: really see and I can already the foreshadow will be

185
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 3: uh Arizona State and Boise State. Everyone is going to

186
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 3: watch those games closely because they're going to say if

187
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 3: those teams don't kind of live up to billing, they

188
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 3: will say, we have to recede the top. Guys. Just

189
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 3: because you win your conference tournament doesn't mean your conference

190
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 3: championship doesn't mean that you're automatically guaranteed to buy or whatever.

191
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 3: And so that's that's what we can see. Because I'm

192
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 3: gonna say this, the game that I'm a little worried

193
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 3: about kind of being played too soon is the Oregon

194
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:42,200
Speaker 3: Ohio State matchup, because that appears to be if we

195
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:45,960
Speaker 3: look at teams the entire year, the two best teams

196
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 3: that we've seen in college football.

197
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 1: They game they.

198
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:53,679
Speaker 3: Did, they played early on and now we're gonna have

199
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:55,960
Speaker 3: an opportunity to see them again. And so that is

200
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 3: where you may worry about it. But I don't know. Look,

201
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 3: I'm excited to see more football. I like the way

202
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 3: that it's breaking down. Look, I don't like all the

203
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,560
Speaker 3: transport portal stuff that is around the college football game.

204
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,600
Speaker 3: But I think the twelve team playoff is perfect. It's

205
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 3: no different than the playoffs at the lower levels.

206
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 2: No, I'm happy because more teams are in, more teams

207
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 2: get a chance to play. And certainly there's always going

208
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:21,560
Speaker 2: to be an argument what teams should have gotten in,

209
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:23,959
Speaker 2: what team that didn't, that did get in, didn't deserve

210
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:25,600
Speaker 2: to get in. And look at the one game I'm

211
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 2: looking at it right now, the Boise State Penn State game.

212
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 2: You know, if Penn State rolls Boise State, there's going

213
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 2: to be those yelling and screaming Boise State in the

214
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 2: Mountain West Conference didn't deserve to be there. That's the

215
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 2: way that you know what, I want to see Boise

216
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 2: State because I want to see their running back.

217
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 1: That's why I want to see him play.

218
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 2: And if it means that that's why they got in

219
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 2: because it gets morphed.

220
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:44,680
Speaker 1: Eyes on the tube.

221
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 3: So be it.

222
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 1: That's just the way it is.

223
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:49,839
Speaker 3: I mean, that's just the way it is. I mean

224
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 3: tournaments should be like that. To me, There'll be some

225
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 3: people that say the more that you're talking about the game,

226
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 3: the better it is, whether it's good or bad. And

227
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:00,560
Speaker 3: we all are talking about college football because we have

228
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 3: a playoff. We've always wanted a playoff and then we

229
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:06,079
Speaker 3: had the opportunity to see how these games go. The

230
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 3: thing that we really need to get to is as

231
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 3: impressive as Notre Dame was, as impressive as Ohio State was,

232
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 3: can the teams that come from kind of like the

233
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 3: play in round run the gauntlet. There's a lot of

234
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 3: football in like a month that you have in the

235
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 3: play and you're playing very intense and competitive games. The

236
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 3: thing that I want to know is can a team win?

237
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:29,840
Speaker 3: Can they go on a four game run to win

238
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:34,439
Speaker 3: the title? Does the SEC and their quote unquote ultra

239
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:37,680
Speaker 3: competitive league prepare these teams for the gauntlet that you

240
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:40,080
Speaker 3: have to run to win the title. There's so many

241
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 3: stories that we can talk about and begin to focus

242
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:48,960
Speaker 3: on outside of hey Man, Miami South Carolina and Oldness

243
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 3: were wrong. I mean, there are other things, because if

244
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:54,199
Speaker 3: those teams are taking care of their business, wouldn't be

245
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 3: an issue.

246
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 2: You know what, It's great that you said that, because

247
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:00,959
Speaker 2: the people that are yelling and screaming pnomals because their

248
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 2: team didn't get in or another team should have gotten in,

249
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 2: they really should point at the bracket and say, I'm

250
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 2: not too happy, as you suggested, Ohio State's playing Oregon

251
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:12,320
Speaker 2: early on because to me, those two teams are probably

252
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 2: head and shoulders above the rest of the field, and

253
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 2: you'd like to see them play at the end, maybe

254
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 2: for the possible championship. Now, the Notre Dame Georgia game,

255
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 2: that's gonna be a good one. I'm looking forward to

256
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 2: watching that. But look, when you look at these twelve teams,

257
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 2: this sort of evenly matched, and the only two teams

258
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 2: that meet to me are head and shoulders above the

259
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 2: rest or Oregon in Ohio State, and they're gonna meet

260
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:33,319
Speaker 2: and one of them is gonna go home after that game.

261
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that that is something like that. You're

262
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 3: gonna lose some good teams. You're gonna lose some teams

263
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 3: that many of us think should advance farther, should go on,

264
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:48,319
Speaker 3: should play and be the teams that we talk about

265
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 3: being around at the end. But it's not gonna happen.

266
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 3: The thing about it, like regardless, to me, I think

267
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 3: is good. I think the conversation is great. I think

268
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 3: we should continue to look let these teams in and

269
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:01,840
Speaker 3: have these conversations because it's only good for the game.

270
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 3: And you know, did we get that? I'm cool, Okay.

271
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 2: I want to talk about Ohio State for a second.

272
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 2: Was they they they came out like you know, basically

273
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 2: it was a house on fire. It was unbelievable what

274
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 2: they did. And you talked about their quarterback Will Howard.

275
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 2: I look at this guy and what he did against Michigan.

276
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 2: They lost to Michigan, as we know, thirteen to ten.

277
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,720
Speaker 2: And also in that game he threw two picks. All right,

278
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 2: it was amazing. Last night he comes out was he

279
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 2: thought for over three hundred yards twenty four for twenty

280
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 2: nine to two touchdowns, and he rushed for thirty seven yards.

281
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:32,439
Speaker 2: So they changed obviously the whole tack offensively. Because everybody

282
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:34,720
Speaker 2: who I listened to prior to this game, and all

283
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 2: the so called experts, they're gonna run the football, you

284
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 2: know their defense will be tough, and it was. They

285
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 2: didn't run the football, they passed. So they got some

286
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:43,840
Speaker 2: great receivers on that Ohio State team, and that's what

287
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 2: they did. That's what they should have done. And it

288
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 2: worked out three hundred eleven yards and they shut him

289
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:48,440
Speaker 2: out in the second half.

290
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 1: Tennessee.

291
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, really impressive effort. I mean, really impressive effort. They

292
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 3: really got to it. They played fast, They came out

293
00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 3: the gate humming, and you know, the playmaking can of

294
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 3: spawned what I would say was their confidence. They got

295
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 3: to it. They look really good. They look like the

296
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:10,200
Speaker 3: team that many of us have been expecting the entire year.

297
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 3: If they continue to play like that, look they're gonna

298
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 3: be hard out. They can be a hard team for

299
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 3: people to deal with, the hard team for teams to

300
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:19,079
Speaker 3: match up with all of that stuff. If you're Ryan

301
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 3: Day and having to listen to all the stuff that

302
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 3: you had to listen to over the past a few weeks,

303
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:28,319
Speaker 3: you're excited that your team was able to come out

304
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 3: and having a very impressive effort.

305
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 2: He didn't look good when they showed him on the sidelines,

306
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:34,440
Speaker 2: and I mean the rings are hidden under his eyes.

307
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 2: They look like a box who just looks the match. Really,

308
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 2: he must be up all night long kind of doing good,

309
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:42,199
Speaker 2: just doing plays. I mean, it's amazing. I mean he

310
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:44,960
Speaker 2: just looked like a defeated guy prior to that game

311
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 2: on the sidelines.

312
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:46,960
Speaker 1: I'm happy for the guy.

313
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 2: He went through what no one should have to go

314
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:53,840
Speaker 2: through with that fan base in Columbus. And more than that,

315
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 2: I think he showed everybody like, look, we're a great team.

316
00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 2: You know we had to step back against Michigan day

317
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:02,760
Speaker 2: it happens. And go back again about this tournament. The

318
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:05,200
Speaker 2: one beautiful thing about it that these teams get to

319
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 2: play home games and people don't even bring that up.

320
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 2: They don't bring that point up at all. I think

321
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,200
Speaker 2: it's great. I mean, I think it's great for Ohio

322
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:13,960
Speaker 2: State that happened to host a home game for one

323
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,560
Speaker 2: hundred thousand people plus. But the point is that it's

324
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 2: great to have an extra home game for these college

325
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 2: teams and the fans can go out and see him

326
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 2: play well.

327
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 3: I do think that's the part to me that came

328
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 3: out that you want to celebrate the fact that you

329
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 3: were able to see different atmospheres and environments see NPN

330
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 3: State rocking even though it was the middle of day,

331
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 3: but seeing them have their white out Notre Dame looked electric.

332
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 3: The environment there Pen, I mean Ohio State, and how

333
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 3: the shoe went with all the red and they weren't

334
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 3: all the scarlet and all that other stuff like it was.

335
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 3: It was really impressive. It was fun to watch. I

336
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 3: dug it. I just kind of I mean, I'm just

337
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 3: excited about the playoff and all the things and all

338
00:14:57,080 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 3: the possibilities that eventually take place, right.

339
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm shocked at Penn State. Penn State is

340
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 2: one of those teams they will win, you know, very

341
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 2: quietly they win. No one talked about them really during

342
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 2: the seasony wrapped around six or fifth around during the season.

343
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 2: Yesterday come out over SMU thirty eight ten and again

344
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 2: James Franklin another one of those guys who can't catch

345
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 2: a break as a coach, him and Ryan Day. Ryan

346
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 2: Day obviously a better record, but you know at Penn State,

347
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 2: he's done a whale of a job, but just somewhat

348
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 2: cannot get over the hump. And I was happy to

349
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 2: see Penn State did that yesterday.

350
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, they dig it over the home. They came out

351
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 3: they played really well. Is funny because there are a

352
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 3: lot of expectations on both of those programs, But when

353
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 3: you look at those programs, you try and wonder if

354
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 3: you got rid of those coaches who could advance it farther,

355
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 3: you know. And so we have to be careful and

356
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 3: at a time that we don't want to be so

357
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 3: narrow minded that we allow good coaches to get out

358
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 3: of our programs. Ryan Day and James Franklin two of

359
00:15:57,520 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 3: the better coaches in college football. They've done a really

360
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 3: good job building those programs up and taking him to

361
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 3: the next level. Sometimes you just have to be patient

362
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 3: to see if you can get what you want out

363
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 3: of it when you're part of that fan base.

364
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I was surprised with Penn State the quarterby

365
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 2: what juwel Laurie threw for like one hundred and twenty

366
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 2: seven yards. So again, they used the passing game, and

367
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 2: I didn't think they would pass that much. Penn State

368
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 2: to me, like Ohio State, they don't usually pass that much,

369
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 2: but they took the passing game and they did it.

370
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 3: You know.

371
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 1: So it was great, it really was. And this Notre

372
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 1: Dame defense, it was unbelievable.

373
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 2: I mean I have I don't think I've seen a

374
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 2: college team play defense like that in ages. I mean

375
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 2: to you, this swarming defense. I mean, Marcus Freeman's great.

376
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 2: I think Marcus Freeman might be the best coach in

377
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 2: college football and the best coach I guess no, but

378
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 2: I'm telling you he's great. He really is, and he

379
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 2: gets the most the best coach that gets the least recognition.

380
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 1: Think about it.

381
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 2: I mean, no one talks about Marcus Freeman. You know,

382
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 2: they talk about every other coach in the country. They

383
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 2: never talk about Marcus Freeman. I think I thought he

384
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 2: did a great job, and he was at the University

385
00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 2: of Cincinnati, you know, as an assistant, just a great coach.

386
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 1: Glady got that deal.

387
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 2: And the fact that they started this season losing to

388
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:09,119
Speaker 2: Northern Illinois, right and everybody, you're ready to throw the

389
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:11,240
Speaker 2: guy out the door. That's what they do in college

390
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 2: fool with these fans, the fan base, they're crazy, they're obsessed.

391
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 1: And it came back.

392
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 2: I mean, they he could have lost the team after

393
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 2: that game, you know, you know what it's like. It

394
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:21,160
Speaker 2: lose to a Northern Illinois should never happen.

395
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:23,400
Speaker 3: No, but I think it might have been the best

396
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:27,359
Speaker 3: thing to happen to Notre Dame because from that moment

397
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 3: there has been a laser focus that you've seen from

398
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 3: that team, particularly the last seven or eight games where

399
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:37,640
Speaker 3: they've been dominating opponents. This team plays in a way

400
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:41,920
Speaker 3: like an old school style. They're big, they're physical, they

401
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 3: beat you up, they control the game. And I felt

402
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:48,879
Speaker 3: like in that game with Indiana, regardless of what the

403
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 3: score told us, it felt like Indiana had no chance

404
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 3: after about a quarter and a half to knock off

405
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 3: Notre Dame. They were clearly the superior team, and even

406
00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 3: though they closed it and cosmetically it looked like a

407
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 3: much closer game, it was a dominant performance from Notre Dame.

408
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:07,560
Speaker 3: And you know, this matchup that they have on the

409
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:10,399
Speaker 3: horizon with Georgian it's gonna be a good one because

410
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:12,399
Speaker 3: in the past, when we receive Notre Dame kind of

411
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:15,440
Speaker 3: in this stage, they would be like a nice story,

412
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 3: but they're not good enough to compete with the heavyweights.

413
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:21,159
Speaker 3: I finally believe that they were built to compete with

414
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 3: the heavyweights, and so seeing didn't take on Georgia, that's

415
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:25,359
Speaker 3: gonna be a fun matchup to watch.

416
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:28,199
Speaker 2: You know, it's funny because it's on the heels of

417
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 2: Kurt Signetti winning coach of the Year, and the announcers

418
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:34,560
Speaker 2: on the game they couldn't stop bubbling about Kurt Signetti. Well,

419
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:37,640
Speaker 2: he won the coach of the Year in every possible poll,

420
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:41,119
Speaker 2: AP College Coaches, you know, whatever it was. And he

421
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 2: on the sideline, he just looked like he was fuming. Signetti.

422
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:44,720
Speaker 1: He really was.

423
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 2: And I didn't know the situation. It was like a

424
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 2: fourth down by midfield and like fourth and eight and

425
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 2: he decided to punt at the end of the game.

426
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 1: I never got that deal.

427
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 2: But well, I don't know if any but even asked

428
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:58,160
Speaker 2: him that question after the game, like why did you punt?

429
00:18:58,200 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 2: Why didn't you go for it? What was the deal

430
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 2: on that?

431
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:02,399
Speaker 3: Yeah? I don't know. I mean I think sometimes when

432
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 3: you're a coach on the sideline, you know when the

433
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:08,600
Speaker 3: team is better. And Kurt Signetti, this is personality. He

434
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:11,240
Speaker 3: did a lot of talking, a lot of talking leading

435
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 3: up into that game about how his team and program

436
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 3: they beat people, they beat the snot out of people,

437
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 3: all this other stuff, and sometimes you walk into the

438
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:22,960
Speaker 3: matchup and you start playing and you have this epiphany,

439
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:27,639
Speaker 3: like whoa we're really over mats. And to me, I

440
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:31,960
Speaker 3: felt like some of that was a concession. He was conceding.

441
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 3: He knew that his team couldn't win, even though they

442
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 3: scored and put those like touchdowns up at the end.

443
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 3: He knew. And at that moment, when it's fourth and

444
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 3: eight and your offense hasn't really pete to drop the

445
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:46,159
Speaker 3: entire day, He's just like, man, what punt? Because the

446
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 3: odds of us getting this first down are not good.

447
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:49,639
Speaker 3: Let's just punt it. See if we can play defense.

448
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:52,240
Speaker 3: Something that happened positive for it. That's why he left

449
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:52,919
Speaker 3: in the punt at that moment.

450
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:54,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, and the score wasn't indicative of really what the

451
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 2: game was all about. It was at twenty seventh to

452
00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 2: three for most of the game, and it ended up

453
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:00,880
Speaker 2: twenty seven to seventeen, so that that was not the case.

454
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 3: Right.

455
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 1: They were just certainly outclassed. It was an amazing display.

456
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:08,120
Speaker 2: And really and truly you talk about crowds, I mean

457
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 2: sometimes you turn on an NFL game and like you

458
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 2: rather have to turn the sound up on the TV.

459
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 2: Is anybody there really some of those games like and

460
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:17,159
Speaker 2: I'm not going to point to your team, Jacksonville but

461
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:19,720
Speaker 2: you know some of the games that they're losing teams

462
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:22,400
Speaker 2: in Carolina, whatever it may be. But this note to day,

463
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 2: this sound was deafening, and most of them de Penn State,

464
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:28,679
Speaker 2: just deafening when you turn the TV on and just listen.

465
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:33,200
Speaker 2: I mean, the pomp and circumstance around college football, there's

466
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 2: nothing better.

467
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 1: I mean, you gotta love it, you really do. I

468
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 1: just think it's great.

469
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:39,879
Speaker 2: And from there we go back to the NFL on

470
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:43,639
Speaker 2: Thursday night when you had the Charges and playing against

471
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:45,440
Speaker 2: the Broncos and they were trilling what twenty one to

472
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 2: thirteen at halftime and the Broncos and all of a sudden,

473
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:49,200
Speaker 2: the Charges came back.

474
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:50,880
Speaker 1: That to me was something else.

475
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 2: And I'll tell you, if you're a Cincinnati Bengal fan,

476
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:55,680
Speaker 2: you're kind of happy give them a little bit of life.

477
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 2: Bengals had that what five percent chance of making the postseason?

478
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 2: Now because of that game, see what happens.

479
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:07,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, Now, this what we saw a little bit on

480
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:11,120
Speaker 3: Saturday is what do they call it separation Saturday? Yeah,

481
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:13,440
Speaker 3: you kind of separate the pretenders from the contenders. That

482
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 3: happened not only in college, but it happened in the pros.

483
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 3: You saw the real Baltimore Ravens show up. They created

484
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 3: some separation from the opponents. To can see the Chiefs

485
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:26,920
Speaker 3: are like angling towards being the number one seed, and

486
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:28,919
Speaker 3: what we saw from the Charges and the Broncos. The

487
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:31,120
Speaker 3: Broncos have been a nice story to the point where

488
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 3: I've talked about them like, man, they're kind of up there.

489
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:36,240
Speaker 3: They're top ten team. But then what you saw is like, hey,

490
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:38,440
Speaker 3: the Chargers have an opportunity to be one of those

491
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 3: teams that we talked about being a thorn in the

492
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:46,199
Speaker 3: side of a playoff opponent. Their talent, their toughness, the

493
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:49,680
Speaker 3: coaching and just what they get from their coach Jim

494
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 3: Harbaugh could make them a very, very tough out. So yeah,

495
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:55,200
Speaker 3: the Chargers certainly helped themselves and they kind of gave

496
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:59,159
Speaker 3: us like the appetizer for Separation Saturday, which allowed us

497
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:01,120
Speaker 3: to really separate the pretenders from the contenders.

498
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:03,920
Speaker 2: All Right, there we go as Separation Sunday. Right now,

499
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:06,679

528
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:24,239
Speaker 2: let's back up here a little buck if I can,

529
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:26,359
Speaker 2: We're gonna have ask Bucky in about fifteen minutes. Though,

530
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 2: Let's back up a little bit about this this Charge

531
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 2: of Bronco game. Obviously, Justin Herbert passed for two touchdowns Thursday,

532
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 2: Charges scored on a free kick and rally pissed the

533
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:37,360
Speaker 2: Broncos thirty four to twenty seven.

534
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:39,639
Speaker 1: Let's get back to this free kick for a second. Now.

535
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:40,439
Speaker 1: As far as the.

536
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:44,680
Speaker 2: Chargers are concerned, nine and six, they have a ninety

537
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:47,160
Speaker 2: seven percent probability of making the playoffs with the win,

538
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:49,480
Speaker 2: according to the NFL. Now that they could wrap up

539
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 2: their second postseason birth in three years today with losses

540
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:56,400
Speaker 2: by Indianapolis and Miami. As far as Denver's concerned, they're

541
00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 2: nine and six, they could have clinched the playoff spot,

542
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:01,600
Speaker 2: but they had therefore game winning streak snapped.

543
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 1: The Broncos still at an eighty five percent chance of

544
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:04,200
Speaker 1: making it.

545
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:07,640
Speaker 2: They got a tough remaining game against the Cincinnati Bengals

546
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:11,159
Speaker 2: next Saturday for thirty in Cincinnati Eastern Time, and then

547
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:13,360
Speaker 2: they play Kansas City. But I want to go back

548
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:16,119
Speaker 2: to this free kick. Have you ever been involved in

549
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 2: a free kick? I've seen a free kick in the game.

550
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:19,359
Speaker 2: I have never seen that before.

551
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:23,679
Speaker 3: I've never seen it, but I do well, I've never

552
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:26,240
Speaker 3: been a part of it. I think the Patriots tried

553
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 3: Wonner did something with Doug Flutie where they kind of

554
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 3: and he did a drop kick as opposed to a

555
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:36,399
Speaker 3: field goal or something. But they manipulated rules where they

556
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:40,280
Speaker 3: used the rules in their favor. But yeah, no, I

557
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:42,960
Speaker 3: mean it's the great, great way to be on it.

558
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 3: We talked about situational wearing this game management. Great job

559
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:47,879
Speaker 3: by Jim Harbour and the staff to take advantage of it.

560
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:51,439
Speaker 3: It's a very unique and interesting play, but they were

561
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:53,680
Speaker 3: able to catch in and it proved to be a

562
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:56,440
Speaker 3: very critical part of why they were able to win.

563
00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:57,200
Speaker 1: Right.

564
00:24:57,440 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 2: It's a crazy rule that I had to go back

565
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:00,200
Speaker 2: on reading it because I didn't know what it was

566
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:02,320
Speaker 2: all about. It allows a team that has just made

567
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:03,720
Speaker 2: a freak fair catch.

568
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:05,399
Speaker 1: To try a freak kick for three points.

569
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 2: Now a kick is attempted from the line of scrimmage

570
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 2: and the defending team must stand ten yards away like

571
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:12,680
Speaker 2: they can't even defend it. They really can't, and the

572
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:17,359
Speaker 2: charges are able to do it because the Denver, the

573
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:19,680
Speaker 2: Denver player, I've got who it was, he committed a

574
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:22,760
Speaker 2: fair catch interference. It would have been the final play

575
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 2: of the game, and the final play the first half

576
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:28,920
Speaker 2: obviously when the charges Darius Davis, I think it was

577
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:31,680
Speaker 2: attended to field Roley Dickinson's punt at the charge is

578
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:33,320
Speaker 2: thirty eight and you can't end it on a neger.

579
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 1: You can't end the thing on a defensive play the

580
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:38,520
Speaker 1: defensive penalty. So that's what it was. So it took

581
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:41,600
Speaker 1: the free kick. But I'm surprised Jim Harbond knew that rule.

582
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:43,399
Speaker 1: Do they have it in college.

583
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:47,720
Speaker 3: That I don't know, but it'd be interesting if they

584
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:48,359
Speaker 3: did have that.

585
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:50,640
Speaker 1: So it's how Harbon is that rule?

586
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:54,720
Speaker 3: I mean, I look, I think part of being a

587
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:56,480
Speaker 3: great coach is to make sure that you know the

588
00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:58,159
Speaker 3: rules and that you have other people that know all

589
00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:00,880
Speaker 3: the rules, and you find the advantages when you come

590
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 3: Jim Harbar Lightveiel Belichick in the past, like they live

591
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:09,320
Speaker 3: in the Gray Area, and living in the Gray Area

592
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:12,359
Speaker 3: has made them very controversial, but it's also helped him

593
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:14,760
Speaker 3: win a ton of games. And if you're able to

594
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:19,280
Speaker 3: kind of put it together and do those things at

595
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 3: the right time, man, what a huge advantage for you

596
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:22,359
Speaker 3: and your team.

597
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:24,919
Speaker 1: Right And maybe one of his assistant coaches told them

598
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:25,960
Speaker 1: about it too. You don't know.

599
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know how it happened, but it

600
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 2: was ingenious. I thought it really was, And I said,

601
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 2: what the heck's going on?

602
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:31,040
Speaker 1: What is this?

603
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 3: Now?

604
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:33,720
Speaker 2: We go to yesterday and the Texas are playing the

605
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 2: Chiefs and I see the Tank Dell injury, and I

606
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 2: think that kind of wakes everybody up because you realize

607
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 2: that your next play could be your very last.

608
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:45,960
Speaker 1: I mean, that's how rough this game of football is.

609
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:47,160
Speaker 1: You know what you played the game.

610
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 2: I mean, it is one of those games that you

611
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:51,400
Speaker 2: just I'm not saying you take your life in your hands.

612
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 2: But I have no problem whatsoever when people yell and screen.

613
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:56,960
Speaker 2: But how much guy, how much these guys make money wise,

614
00:26:57,240 --> 00:26:59,879
Speaker 2: they're taking a risk. I mean, there are risks jobs

615
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,120
Speaker 2: in this country. Okay, one of them, I think there's

616
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:04,680
Speaker 2: an airplane pilot. Really, you can go down anytime. Another

617
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:06,719
Speaker 2: one being a minor in the state of West Virginia,

618
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:10,760
Speaker 2: the Manica collapse. Another one's playing professional football. Really there's

619
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 2: a risk factor and that's why you're getting that money

620
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:14,639
Speaker 2: plus the skill set you have.

621
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:20,080
Speaker 3: True, but yeah, it is why you get the money

622
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:24,400
Speaker 3: and it is why you play. Look, I just think

623
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:27,760
Speaker 3: part of it is understanding the risk and really being

624
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:32,119
Speaker 3: okay with the reward or getting to the reward because

625
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:34,600
Speaker 3: you know how to deal with the risk part of it.

626
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 3: I just think it's great when you watch these teams

627
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 3: and you watch these guys that are able to do

628
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:41,959
Speaker 3: it time and time again, but as coaches and players

629
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:44,200
Speaker 3: do it because there's a level of risk that you

630
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:46,119
Speaker 3: must take if you want to be great, and you

631
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:47,840
Speaker 3: have to be able to live with it if it

632
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:48,640
Speaker 3: doesn't go your way.

633
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:51,400
Speaker 1: Okay, let's get to this game. Kansas City wins twenty

634
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 1: seven to nineteen.

635
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:56,480
Speaker 2: And I heard a sportscaster early on I gonna mention it,

636
00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 2: I don't know, embarrassed a person, but he said it's

637
00:27:59,119 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 2: not luck.

638
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 1: I disagree.

639
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:03,399
Speaker 2: I think that the amount of one score games that

640
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:05,760
Speaker 2: they've won, with like ten games they won by a

641
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 2: score by one score. I mean, that's got to be

642
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 2: luck on your side. I'm watching the game yesterday. The

643
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 2: Texans could have tied it and they missed an extra point.

644
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:17,560
Speaker 2: I mean, that has nothing to do with your defense

645
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:19,920
Speaker 2: being tough. The guy missed an extra point and it

646
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:23,679
Speaker 2: could have changed the whole function of that game yesterday, right,

647
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:26,600
Speaker 2: But they went twenty seven to nineteen. And Patrick Mahomes,

648
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 2: who basically was knocked out of last week's game against

649
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:31,640
Speaker 2: the Browns with that high ankle sprain, you never would

650
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:32,159
Speaker 2: have noticed it.

651
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:33,119
Speaker 1: I mean you really.

652
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:36,200
Speaker 2: He scored the first touchdown, went on a fifteen yard run,

653
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:39,040
Speaker 2: and then he scrambled twelve yards earlier in that same drive.

654
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:41,800
Speaker 2: He was what twenty one or twenty eight for forty

655
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:44,680
Speaker 2: one throws for two sixty in a touchdown. Where's the

656
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:47,280
Speaker 2: high ankle sprain? I don't get it. But they must

657
00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:49,280
Speaker 2: have one head of a training staff there Kansas City.

658
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:52,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, they must do. I think you get to give

659
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:55,560
Speaker 3: the trainee stuff a lot of credit for getting them ready.

660
00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:58,960
Speaker 3: It's funny because you just didn't think that they would

661
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:03,080
Speaker 3: be able to look half Pat Mahomes and half Pat

662
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 3: Mahomes ready to rock. But Pat Mahomes looked better than

663
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 3: he ever did. I mean he continues to I would say,

664
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:13,160
Speaker 3: defy the odds when it comes to dealing with these

665
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 3: injuries and those things. The fact that he showed up,

666
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:18,240
Speaker 3: he was able to be athletic and didn't look like

667
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:25,240
Speaker 3: he suffering any ill effects to me is Look, it's amazing,

668
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:27,960
Speaker 3: and it's one of the reasons why this team continues

669
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 3: to be the best team in ball. We can talk

670
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 3: a lot about like, oh, this team is better and

671
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 3: that team is better. I tell someone the vanquishes to

672
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:39,720
Speaker 3: kan see the Chiefs. We should always consider him the

673
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:41,960
Speaker 3: best team in ball because no one can beat this

674
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:43,000
Speaker 3: team in a close game.

675
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:46,920
Speaker 2: Buck, I asked you, though, isn't there some measure of

676
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:48,960
Speaker 2: luck involve what they've done this year?

677
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:49,800
Speaker 1: Really?

678
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:55,200
Speaker 3: I think you make your own look like man, I

679
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:58,880
Speaker 3: think it doesn't really luck, because luck is just like, oh,

680
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:01,200
Speaker 3: it's all by chance. They don't have anything to do

681
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:04,800
Speaker 3: with I believe this team has mastered the art of

682
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:08,760
Speaker 3: winning games, and they do it because they make plays

683
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:12,280
Speaker 3: that need to be made. And it's not just one player.

684
00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:16,040
Speaker 3: This team just kind of has a way about them.

685
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:19,600
Speaker 3: They remind me very very much like the Patriots operated

686
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 3: for twenty years, where if you didn't put the Patriots

687
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:26,360
Speaker 3: out of their misery early and really blow them out,

688
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 3: you didn't really have a chance to win it. Because

689
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:30,680
Speaker 3: it was a close game, someone was going to make

690
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:34,120
Speaker 3: the play. And that confidence continues to feed on itself

691
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:37,440
Speaker 3: as you continue to win these games like this sixteen

692
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:40,680
Speaker 3: straight one score wins for the Kansas City Chiefs Andy.

693
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:43,719
Speaker 3: Every time they're in a close game, they're able to wreathe,

694
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:47,120
Speaker 3: slow their heart rate down because may we've been here before.

695
00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:48,440
Speaker 3: We just need to do what we need to do

696
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:50,960
Speaker 3: to get to win. Other teams tend to panic. And

697
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 3: if you really go back and look, because we talked about,

698
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:55,320
Speaker 3: well if the other team had just done this, the

699
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:57,760
Speaker 3: other team had just done that. What the Kansas City

700
00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:00,800
Speaker 3: Chiefs do is they alwaysho up in much the same

701
00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:04,800
Speaker 3: other teams go up and down because they can't handle

702
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:08,080
Speaker 3: the pressure having to execute at a high level consistently

703
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 3: over time. That's why the Kansas City Chiefs win. They're

704
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:12,320
Speaker 3: not beating themselves. They just wait for you to employ it.

705
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:16,040
Speaker 2: Another factor which I put under the umbrella of luck

706
00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:19,560
Speaker 2: is the fact that the injury factor is very, very low.

707
00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:21,480
Speaker 1: I mean other teams get I mean, look at the

708
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 1: Detroit Lions. I mean there's like a sick bay.

709
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:27,200
Speaker 2: And the Kansas City Chiefs really and truly are lucky

710
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:29,720
Speaker 2: in the sense that they don't really suffer many many

711
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:30,880
Speaker 2: injuries on that ball club.

712
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:31,560
Speaker 1: They just don't.

713
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:37,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean they don't. All right, crazy, we move on.

714
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:39,240
Speaker 2: Well, I'm happy for him. I mean, I love Andy Reid.

715
00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:42,479
Speaker 2: I think he's great. All right, bundle Uski, I mean

716
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:44,600
Speaker 2: I can't get that out of my head, that commercial

717
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:47,160
Speaker 2: that he does right with Patrick Mahomes, with that insurance,

718
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:49,040
Speaker 2: they won't mention the name Bundaluski.

719
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 3: There we go.

720
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:50,320
Speaker 1: We move on.

721
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:53,120
Speaker 2: Steelers Ravens yesterday, and the last time they met, the

722
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:56,120
Speaker 2: Steelers win that game eighteen sixteen earlier this year, and

723
00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:57,840
Speaker 2: they did it with us scoring a touchdown, But the

724
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 2: Ravens get a playoff berth. Yesterday they accomplished more than that,

725
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:04,560
Speaker 2: the thirty four to seventeen winner of this Steelers that

726
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:07,560
Speaker 2: snapped the Ravens four game losing streak over the Steelers.

727
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:10,200
Speaker 1: There were like one in eight overall, and I'm glad.

728
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:13,080
Speaker 2: For Lamar Jackson, who records his first win over the

729
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:16,200
Speaker 2: Steelers is twenty nineteen, one hundred and sixty two rushing

730
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:19,120
Speaker 2: guys with Dereck Henry. He looked like a beast yesterday.

731
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:21,680
Speaker 2: It was great and I love the fact that Baltimore won.

732
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:23,479
Speaker 2: I just felt with both of those teams have being

733
00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:25,400
Speaker 2: the playoffs, but the point is, I want to see

734
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:26,960
Speaker 2: Baltimore break that hes.

735
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:31,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, hats off to Lamar Jackson. I know everyone has

736
00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:35,320
Speaker 3: already given away his MVP award to Josh Allen, but

737
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 3: might want to pause on it. When you look at

738
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:39,640
Speaker 3: the numbers and of what Lamar Jackson is doing this year,

739
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:42,560
Speaker 3: it surpasses what he did last year. He's playing the

740
00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:45,520
Speaker 3: best ball that we've ever seen him play in his career.

741
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:49,320
Speaker 3: And the thing about it is he still utilizes his legs.

742
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 3: He still runs around and makes place in the fashion

743
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:54,040
Speaker 3: in which he used to make it, but now he

744
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:58,440
Speaker 3: has become so much of an improved passer and against

745
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:01,160
Speaker 3: the Steelers he was able to show that off. This

746
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:03,960
Speaker 3: team is interesting because I've been hard on this team

747
00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:06,760
Speaker 3: the entire year. This team had underachieved the entire year,

748
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:09,520
Speaker 3: but now they're beginning to play like the Baltimore team

749
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:12,840
Speaker 3: that we know and many of the people that listen

750
00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 3: to us love their physical team. They're getting it done.

751
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:18,760
Speaker 3: They're on the ground through there, and then defensively, they've

752
00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:21,760
Speaker 3: really made improvements since Week five. This team is playing

753
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:25,240
Speaker 3: their basketball heading into the to the stretch. And that's

754
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:27,280
Speaker 3: exactly what you want to do as you're a playoff team.

755
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:29,280
Speaker 3: You want to play your basketball heading into the tournament.

756
00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:31,800
Speaker 2: Well, I mentioned that earlier this season was a Week

757
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:34,040
Speaker 2: five I think they lost eighteen sixteen to the Steelers

758
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:36,800
Speaker 2: that Baltimore Ravens did. And in that game, Justin Tucker,

759
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:40,920
Speaker 2: the premiere field goal kicker coming into the league this season,

760
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:42,760
Speaker 2: he missed two field goals in that I think it

761
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:45,280
Speaker 2: was week eleven, maybe he missed two field He made

762
00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:47,760
Speaker 2: both kicks yesterday and one of them was a fifteen

763
00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:50,440
Speaker 2: to fifty one year kick that extended the lead to

764
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:52,760
Speaker 2: seventeen to seven. So it looks like Justin Tucker it's

765
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:53,680
Speaker 2: got his groove back.

766
00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:55,720
Speaker 1: You know, they're ready to push him out to the passer.

767
00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:58,120
Speaker 1: So that's a big deal for him. So I'm happy.

768
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:00,920
Speaker 1: I'm happy for that. So we love so right now,

769
00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:03,479
Speaker 1: I think that Baltimore. Two.

770
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:05,680
Speaker 2: About the teams that are on top, you mentioned Kansas City,

771
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:09,880
Speaker 2: Obviously they're Buffalo, Baltimore. I you got to throw Pittsburgh

772
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:11,640
Speaker 2: in there in Philadelphia as well. I think those are

773
00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:13,480
Speaker 2: the teams that are the cream of the crop right

774
00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:14,400
Speaker 2: now in the NFL.

775
00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:17,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I think they are the cream and

776
00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:20,080
Speaker 3: the crop, and they're going to continue to separate. That's

777
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:22,279
Speaker 3: what this month is for the month is to get

778
00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:25,480
Speaker 3: the heavyweights ready to compete in the tournament. And you're

779
00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:28,280
Speaker 3: seeing some of those teams playing their best ball, peaking

780
00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:31,960
Speaker 3: as they're getting into the tournament. And you know, Baltimore

781
00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:34,040
Speaker 3: is one of those teams. You can say, Kansas City

782
00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:36,719
Speaker 3: is another one of those teams. We'll see if Philadelphia

783
00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:41,520
Speaker 3: can continue to dominate and keep the momentum as they

784
00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:42,400
Speaker 3: get into the tournament.

785
00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:44,680
Speaker 2: And maybe we didn't even mention Detroit, but we'll see

786
00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:47,839
Speaker 2: what happens there that really they're hurting no players, that's

787
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:51,000
Speaker 2: the problem. But we'll continue, all right, Bucky brooks Andy Firmer,

788

Speaker 2: we are together, and we call it Fox Football Sunday

Speaker 1: Maybe once?

796
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:11,600
Speaker 3: You know?

797
00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:13,920
Speaker 2: Is that a positive because Honkakah is on the same

798
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:16,160
Speaker 2: day as Christmas this year? You know, I mean, is

799
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:18,520
Speaker 2: it possible I'm making a request. I've never asked for

800
00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:22,239
Speaker 2: anything on this ship again. Well yeah, but still only

801
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:23,839
Speaker 2: comes out once a year. I means if you play

802
00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:25,880
Speaker 2: it twice, as you know, in twelve months, it's not

803
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:28,759
Speaker 2: bad twice or twelve months. I love you, Okay, I'm

804
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:30,839
Speaker 2: just saying. And I know Bucky would enjoy it because

805
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:31,720
Speaker 2: he likes Adam Sandler.

806
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:32,160
Speaker 3: He does.

807
00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:35,040
Speaker 2: He's Bucky Brookes and Andy Furman and we are Fox

808
00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:37,520
Speaker 2: Football Sonny of Fox vist Radium. We're live from the

809
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:39,600
Speaker 2: tire rack dot Com studio. So we're ready to roll

810
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:40,760
Speaker 2: for ask Bucky.

811
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:41,719
Speaker 1: Let's do it, all right.

812
00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:44,160
Speaker 2: It's about ten minutes before the top of the hour.

813
00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:48,840
Speaker 2: And Sheila Johnson, the co owner of the WNBA's Washington Mystics.

814
00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:52,080
Speaker 2: She sparked some criticism the other day. She told CNN

815
00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:56,239
Speaker 2: that Time magazine could have put the whole WNBA the

816
00:35:56,520 --> 00:36:00,560
Speaker 2: entire league on its cover instead of Indiana Fever star

817
00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:01,520
Speaker 2: Caitlyn Clark.

818
00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:02,480
Speaker 1: What's the deal.

819
00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:06,840
Speaker 2: It's an award for one person, not for a team

820
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:10,239
Speaker 2: or league. Come on, does she hate Caitlyn Clark that much?

821
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:11,200
Speaker 1: You have thoughts on that?

822
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:15,239
Speaker 3: Buck Well? I mean, look, I think this is an

823
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:18,719
Speaker 3: owner who wants the league to get credit for the

824
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:21,440
Speaker 3: momentum that has been created in women's basketball. But the

825
00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:24,000
Speaker 3: league has a part in it. But Kaitlyn Clark has

826
00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:26,640
Speaker 3: really been a driving force just because of the interests

827
00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:29,719
Speaker 3: like it or not. Whether some would say the adolation

828
00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:32,799
Speaker 3: is over the top, she certainly has brought a lot

829
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:35,440
Speaker 3: of new eyeballs to the game and Dad has increased

830
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:37,800
Speaker 3: the attention that has made more people want to tune in,

831
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:40,960
Speaker 3: and she's had a positive impact on the game, which

832
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:43,040
Speaker 3: is why she was deserving of winning the award.

833
00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:46,200
Speaker 2: You know, you would think, of all people, the owner

834
00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:49,440
Speaker 2: of the Washington Mystics will know, I mean didn't when

835
00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:52,439
Speaker 2: Indiana played Washington year, didn't have like twenty thousand people

836
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:55,000
Speaker 2: at that game. I mean they wouldn't have twenty thousand

837
00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:57,680
Speaker 2: in a year, but you know they wanted to see Kaitlyn.

838
00:36:58,280 --> 00:36:58,600
Speaker 1: I don't know.

839
00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:00,959
Speaker 3: Yeah, they want to see Kaitlin. Maybe if she felt

840
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:04,280
Speaker 3: like they wanted to see her squad the mystics.

841
00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:06,560
Speaker 1: Who knows. I doubt it, but we'll see. We move on.

842
00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:09,680
Speaker 2: Okay, Bucky Brooks, I'm gonna do this to you, put

843
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:12,759
Speaker 2: a little pressure on you. You now have the deciding

844
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:16,640
Speaker 2: vote for this year's NFL MVP Award.

845
00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:19,279
Speaker 1: And here are your choices. In then Edwin writ and if.

846
00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:22,160
Speaker 2: You want, your choices are Josh Allen, quarterback of the

847
00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:25,840
Speaker 2: Buffalo Bills, say Kwan Barkley, running back Philadelphia Eagles, and

848
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:28,240
Speaker 2: quarterback Lamar Jackson in the Baltimore Ravens.

849
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:31,400
Speaker 1: Your choice and tell us why or right in ballin

850
00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:31,920
Speaker 1: if you like.

851
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:34,799
Speaker 3: Ooh, I wonder if I could split it three ways?

852
00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:35,839
Speaker 3: Could I split it three ways?

853
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:38,960
Speaker 1: You could do whatever you want your Bucky Brooks.

854
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:43,440
Speaker 3: No, okay, So what we have is a very unique circumstances.

855
00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:45,560
Speaker 3: Josh Allen appears to be the guy that is a

856
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:48,399
Speaker 3: front runner. Lamar Jackson is playing great, but there's something

857
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:50,759
Speaker 3: about Saquon Barkley and what he is doing and how

858
00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:52,640
Speaker 3: he has changed the way that we look at the

859
00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:55,080
Speaker 3: Philadelphia Eagles. He's on pays to have a two thousand

860
00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:57,600
Speaker 3: yard season, which is a rarity in the league. You

861
00:37:57,680 --> 00:38:00,880
Speaker 3: think about the dominance that he's displaying, and he's been

862
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:05,239
Speaker 3: vultured for touchdowns by his teammate, Jalen Hurts to me,

863
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:08,680
Speaker 3: Saquon Barkley is having the best season out of all

864
00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:11,160
Speaker 3: the guys that were mentioning. Uh, but each of those

865
00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:12,920
Speaker 3: are very, very viable and worthy candidates.

866
00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:15,520
Speaker 1: Okay, but you didn't give me an answer.

867
00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:20,040
Speaker 2: But that's okay, ok I'm with you, Okay, okay, just

868
00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:22,880
Speaker 2: putting a little pressure on you there, Okay, NFL the

869
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:26,080
Speaker 2: super Bowl Hunt, the Super Bowl Hunt? Which team is

870
00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:29,120
Speaker 2: in bigger trouble going to get that Super Bowl trophy?

871
00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:35,120
Speaker 2: The Ravens, Kansas City or Baltimore. Who's in bigger trouble?

872
00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:36,640
Speaker 1: Who'll have the hardest time to get there?

873
00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:40,480
Speaker 3: In Baltimore? Same team? Hold on, Ravens are boring, I'm sorry,

874
00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:46,720
Speaker 3: kas City? Who else? And Pittsburgh, Oh, Pittsburgh and jeopardy

875
00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:48,960
Speaker 3: because Pittsburgh doesn't have the talent that those others have.

876
00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:50,879
Speaker 3: And I love Pittsburgh. I love what they've been doing.

877
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:55,520
Speaker 3: But the talent difference shows up, and it showed up

878
00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:59,600
Speaker 3: in their game on Saturday. So, yeah, the Steelers are

879
00:38:59,719 --> 00:39:03,040
Speaker 3: in trouble. The Ravens in Kansas City are a better

880
00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:05,759
Speaker 3: positioned to make the Super Bowl run that everyone wants.

881
00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:07,600
Speaker 1: Let me throw the Lions in there. Are they in

882
00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:08,120
Speaker 1: trouble to.

883
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:13,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, they in trouble just because the injuries, the mounting

884
00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:16,319
Speaker 3: injuries could catch up with them. I'm more worried about

885
00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:17,480
Speaker 3: them because of that part of it.

886
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:20,879
Speaker 2: Okay, who's gonna have more success as a college football coach?

887
00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:25,040
Speaker 2: Michael Vick and Norfolk State or Bill Belichick in North Carolina.

888
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:29,359
Speaker 3: Oh, Bill Belichick in North Carolina. Bill Belichick's don't get

889
00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:31,439
Speaker 3: North Caelta, Hummy. I don't know how long he would

890
00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:33,520
Speaker 3: have it huming for, but he definitely is going to

891
00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:35,800
Speaker 3: get He's the same blueprint that has been very successful

892
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:40,279
Speaker 3: for Nick Saban. Yeah so Nick, so Bill Belichick is

893
00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:40,760
Speaker 3: the one.

894
00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:42,960
Speaker 1: Spoken like a true tar heel alone.

895
00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:45,359
Speaker 2: Okay, in a round, Now, these teams in and out

896
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:49,879
Speaker 2: of the playoffs, Bengals, Dolphins, Colts, Broncos in a rout,

897
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:53,120
Speaker 2: Bengals in out out.

898
00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:58,520
Speaker 3: Okay, Dolphins, Dolphins out, all of them out. Yeah, I

899
00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:00,759
Speaker 3: don't see a path for any of them to get it.

900
00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:02,200
Speaker 3: But if I had to hang my head once. He

901
00:40:02,520 --> 00:40:04,000
Speaker 3: made the Dolphins. But I don't have a lot of

902
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:04,640
Speaker 3: confidence in them.

903
00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:07,239

935
00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:20,880
Speaker 2: couple of questions.

936
00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:22,800
Speaker 1: Got to ask you, I really do I read it.

937
00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:24,480
Speaker 1: I said, I can't wait till Sunday.

938
00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:27,240
Speaker 2: I'm gonna ask Buck about this because you talked about

939
00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:30,040
Speaker 2: that Kirk Cousins experiment with the Atlanta Falcons.

940
00:41:30,080 --> 00:41:33,560
Speaker 1: Obviously it's not working. We both know that. And we

941
00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:36,360
Speaker 1: talked about Michael Pennix Jr. Coming in. You know, you

942
00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:38,240
Speaker 1: had your doubts early on, saying.

943
00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:39,720
Speaker 2: Well, you know you don't want to throw into the wolves,

944
00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:41,759
Speaker 2: and you know you invest a lot of money on

945
00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:42,520
Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins.

946
00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:43,440
Speaker 1: Ain't working.

947
00:41:43,719 --> 00:41:46,680
Speaker 2: Okay, they gave him one hundred eighty million and one

948
00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:49,880
Speaker 2: hundred million dollars in guarantees last March. Now that stories

949
00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:51,640
Speaker 2: are coming out that they may even cut him so

950
00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:53,920
Speaker 2: they don't have to give him that extra extra guilt.

951
00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:56,680
Speaker 2: They're not going to do that. So look, you also

952
00:41:56,800 --> 00:41:59,080
Speaker 2: wrote that you think Atlanta has kind of been the

953
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:03,040
Speaker 2: team for Penix for the Get Go six two to

954
00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:06,560
Speaker 2: twenty stepped into the practice field during organized team activities.

955
00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:09,719
Speaker 2: Why do you say that, Michael Pennix Jr. This is

956
00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:12,319
Speaker 2: his team for the get Go, is a perfect fit.

957
00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:16,160
Speaker 3: It's been a scene from the get go because while

958
00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:18,840
Speaker 3: Kirk Cousins was rehabbing, Michael Penicks had an opportunity to

959
00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:21,040
Speaker 3: run with the starters. And when he was able to

960
00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:24,080
Speaker 3: run with the starters, he was able to show his

961
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:27,400
Speaker 3: teammates his coaches that he has the talent and the

962
00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:30,600
Speaker 3: tools to be able to run, to own the job

963
00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:34,120
Speaker 3: and thrive in the job. And what happens, particularly for

964
00:42:34,239 --> 00:42:37,399
Speaker 3: Kirk Cousins when he's unavailable not there early in the year,

965
00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:41,640
Speaker 3: Michael Penix not only develops the confidence to rock with

966
00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:43,840
Speaker 3: the team, but he develops the chemistry and the connection

967
00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:48,120
Speaker 3: with the teammates. He's younger, he's dynamic, he kind of

968
00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:50,719
Speaker 3: gets along with those guys, and then when you see

969
00:42:50,760 --> 00:42:52,839
Speaker 3: the arm talent, it's easy to see why those guys

970
00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:55,560
Speaker 3: will fall in love with him. Even though Kirk Cousins

971
00:42:55,640 --> 00:42:57,759
Speaker 3: comes back and he has Pelts on the wall. He's

972
00:42:57,800 --> 00:43:00,720
Speaker 3: a respective veteran who's done some great things. The league

973
00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:04,360
Speaker 3: is different, and it's really different once you start losing

974
00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:07,000
Speaker 3: games and you have a bunch of guys who were

975
00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:09,400
Speaker 3: on the field with Pennicks, who's seen him work throughout

976
00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:12,719
Speaker 3: the preseason, rave about his arm, talent and all these

977
00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:15,800
Speaker 3: other things. At some point that works against you, and

978
00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:19,759
Speaker 3: for Kirk Cousins, what worked against him was not being

979
00:43:19,880 --> 00:43:22,239
Speaker 3: consistent and not being able to play at a high level,

980
00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:25,279
Speaker 3: particularly the last five weeks. It created some of that

981
00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:27,440
Speaker 3: conversation like, man, I wonder how good we would be

982
00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:30,239
Speaker 3: if Michael Pennix was leading our team, that talented young

983
00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:34,319
Speaker 3: guy was there and Raheem Morris was Look, his hand

984
00:43:34,440 --> 00:43:38,160
Speaker 3: was forced. Kirk Cousins one touchdown, nine interceptions the last

985
00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:41,640
Speaker 3: five games, barely had over one hundred yards the last game,

986
00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:44,399
Speaker 3: and they couldn't throw on first down the first half

987
00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:46,520
Speaker 3: of the game against the Raiders. He had to pull

988
00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:48,440
Speaker 3: the plug on the experiment. He had to go to

989
00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:49,000
Speaker 3: the young guy.

990
00:43:49,480 --> 00:43:51,239
Speaker 2: Okay, I want to go back to Week five because

991
00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:54,800
Speaker 2: I don't understand how a guy could just decrease in

992
00:43:55,040 --> 00:43:59,040
Speaker 2: stature the way Kirk Cousins did Week five, five hundred

993
00:43:59,040 --> 00:44:02,080
Speaker 2: and nine yards Towns against the Buccaneers. And after that

994
00:44:02,200 --> 00:44:04,040
Speaker 2: and he was throwing like almost seventy three percent of

995
00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:07,440
Speaker 2: his throws thirteen to three touchdown to the hit deception ratio.

996
00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:09,520
Speaker 2: Then all of a sudden he comes back as you say,

997
00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:13,640
Speaker 2: the last several weeks, what sixteen at deceptions thirteen fumbles.

998
00:44:14,120 --> 00:44:17,440
Speaker 1: It's unbelievable. And you say, Raheem Marris.

999
00:44:17,560 --> 00:44:21,399
Speaker 2: The coach is forced to make that change because you say,

1000
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:23,759
Speaker 2: the risk of losing the locker room.

1001
00:44:23,840 --> 00:44:25,360
Speaker 1: This is where I want to ask you.

1002
00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:29,640
Speaker 2: You're telling me that the decision was made because players

1003
00:44:29,840 --> 00:44:32,400
Speaker 2: came to the coach and say, hey, coach, you got

1004
00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:33,120
Speaker 2: to get rid of him.

1005
00:44:33,160 --> 00:44:35,480
Speaker 1: He's killing us. Does that happen in the NFL?

1006
00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:38,960
Speaker 2: Do players tell the coach, look, we could win without

1007
00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:41,840
Speaker 2: this guy, or was it a coach's decision?

1008
00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:43,640
Speaker 1: Do the players have that kind of input?

1009
00:44:45,200 --> 00:44:46,799
Speaker 3: I mean they always get the input. And if you're

1010
00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:49,759
Speaker 3: a good coach, you always solicted to input from your

1011
00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:53,120
Speaker 3: leadership council, the best players on the team. When I

1012
00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:55,759
Speaker 3: mean lose the locker room, you only have so many

1013
00:44:55,800 --> 00:44:59,440
Speaker 3: opportunities to play games in the National Football League, and

1014
00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:03,040
Speaker 3: what happened is every game has to carry significant weight

1015
00:45:03,560 --> 00:45:06,680
Speaker 3: when you're losing games, and people are able to know

1016
00:45:06,880 --> 00:45:09,840
Speaker 3: that on the sideline there's someone who they believe to

1017
00:45:09,960 --> 00:45:13,439
Speaker 3: be better than the person that's playing. If you don't

1018
00:45:13,560 --> 00:45:16,239
Speaker 3: do that, then you lose your credibility as a coach.

1019
00:45:16,719 --> 00:45:18,279
Speaker 3: And you can hang in there with Kirk because they

1020
00:45:18,280 --> 00:45:21,839
Speaker 3: can appreciate the loyalty, they can appreciate standing behind your guy,

1021
00:45:21,920 --> 00:45:24,480
Speaker 3: but at some point they want to win games over everything,

1022
00:45:24,880 --> 00:45:28,160
Speaker 3: and if they feel like you're compromising the team's opportunity

1023
00:45:28,239 --> 00:45:30,239
Speaker 3: to win, yeah, they're not gonna believe you. They're not

1024
00:45:30,280 --> 00:45:33,040
Speaker 3: gonna follow behind you. And Raheem Morris taken about as

1025
00:45:33,080 --> 00:45:35,400
Speaker 3: far as he could take it. But when Kirk Cousins

1026
00:45:35,600 --> 00:45:40,440
Speaker 3: only has one hundred yards and they're so limited offensively

1027
00:45:40,560 --> 00:45:43,960
Speaker 3: because they're working around a quarterback, they're struggling, he had

1028
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:45,640
Speaker 3: no choice. He had to give the ball to the

1029
00:45:45,719 --> 00:45:47,400
Speaker 3: Ricky and live with it, even if it's not ideal

1030
00:45:47,520 --> 00:45:49,240
Speaker 3: to put the Ricky in with three games left.

1031
00:45:49,840 --> 00:45:52,480
Speaker 2: You know, I'm so functioned looking at the Cincinnati Bengals

1032
00:45:52,520 --> 00:45:54,799
Speaker 2: with that six and eight losing record with a guy

1033
00:45:54,920 --> 00:45:57,080
Speaker 2: that's leading the league. He may get the triple crown

1034
00:45:57,120 --> 00:46:01,600
Speaker 2: with the receptions, touchdowns and yards and Jamar Chase leading passer,

1035
00:46:01,840 --> 00:46:04,480
Speaker 2: and Joe Burrow and T Higgins when he's not injured.

1036
00:46:04,600 --> 00:46:07,440
Speaker 2: They got three offensive, big time threats. And I say

1037
00:46:07,480 --> 00:46:10,360
Speaker 2: to myself, wait a minute, look at Atlanta. They should

1038
00:46:10,360 --> 00:46:11,920
Speaker 2: have a better record as well. Look what they got.

1039
00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:14,200
Speaker 2: They got Drake London, they got Kyle Pitts, they got

1040
00:46:14,239 --> 00:46:17,440
Speaker 2: Darnell Mooney. They got three quality receivers and a running

1041
00:46:17,480 --> 00:46:18,840
Speaker 2: game which the Bengals don't really have.

1042
00:46:19,080 --> 00:46:20,360
Speaker 1: They got Bjon Robinson.

1043
00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:22,880
Speaker 2: I mean, really and truly, you got to believe without

1044
00:46:22,920 --> 00:46:26,800
Speaker 2: those turnovers, those self inflicted wounds caused by Kirk Cousins,

1045
00:46:27,120 --> 00:46:28,240
Speaker 2: they'd be in better shape.

1046
00:46:29,400 --> 00:46:33,920
Speaker 3: I mean, Lee's the NFL with sixteen interceptions, tie for

1047
00:46:34,640 --> 00:46:37,160
Speaker 3: the most fumbles in the league with twelve with Baker Mayfield.

1048
00:46:38,040 --> 00:46:41,120
Speaker 3: Before you can even win games, you have to avoid

1049
00:46:41,200 --> 00:46:43,759
Speaker 3: losing them, and turnovers are the number one thing. He's

1050
00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:48,160
Speaker 3: costing them games with his Look at his mistakes, his

1051
00:46:48,280 --> 00:46:51,640
Speaker 3: misfires or all of those things. He's not playing good football,

1052
00:46:51,719 --> 00:46:53,400
Speaker 3: and they have to sit them down they have any

1053
00:46:53,480 --> 00:46:54,319
Speaker 3: chance of savaging the.

1054
00:46:54,360 --> 00:46:56,040
Speaker 1: Season, it'll be interesting.

1055
00:46:56,120 --> 00:46:58,640
Speaker 2: Now all eys will be on Atlanta to see what's

1056
00:46:58,680 --> 00:47:01,480
Speaker 2: going on over there. See And I wish, you know,

1057
00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:06,320
Speaker 2: after watching Kirk Cousins a year ago on HBO Hard Knocks,

1058
00:47:06,680 --> 00:47:08,279
Speaker 2: I got to like the guy. He's kind of like

1059
00:47:08,360 --> 00:47:11,360
Speaker 2: a regular guy, you know, and a family guy, and

1060
00:47:11,480 --> 00:47:14,320
Speaker 2: just you wish him well. But you know what, He's okay,

1061
00:47:14,560 --> 00:47:16,520
Speaker 2: he'll be fine. He's not gonna be looking for his

1062
00:47:16,640 --> 00:47:17,719
Speaker 2: next meal. He's all set.

1063
00:47:17,800 --> 00:47:19,560
Speaker 1: He's fine. Don't worry about Curtin.

1064
00:47:19,920 --> 00:47:22,000
Speaker 3: Know he said you can be sympathetic towards themand but

1065
00:47:22,080 --> 00:47:24,279
Speaker 3: also called out the performance to performance is not being

1066
00:47:24,320 --> 00:47:27,160
Speaker 3: good enough. He's not played to the standard of expectation.

1067
00:47:27,320 --> 00:47:28,279
Speaker 3: That's part of the deal.

1068
00:47:29,120 --> 00:47:31,839
Speaker 2: Okay, speaking of that, let's go back to the Detroit Lions.

1069
00:47:31,880 --> 00:47:34,520
Speaker 2: The Lions are playing the Bears today. Shouldn't be a problem,

1070
00:47:34,680 --> 00:47:38,319
Speaker 2: all right, Lions coach, this is how how bad Maybe

1071
00:47:38,360 --> 00:47:40,399
Speaker 2: I'm maybe I'm just looking at the things too much,

1072
00:47:40,440 --> 00:47:42,640
Speaker 2: but this is how bad the defense is right now

1073
00:47:42,680 --> 00:47:44,959
Speaker 2: because they lack of defense with players that have lost.

1074
00:47:45,239 --> 00:47:47,680
Speaker 2: The Lions coach Dan Campbell. He went for it on

1075
00:47:47,920 --> 00:47:50,919
Speaker 2: fourth and one in a tie game a week ago

1076
00:47:51,040 --> 00:47:54,160
Speaker 2: against Green Bay. Why I guess he's so concerned about

1077
00:47:54,160 --> 00:47:56,560
Speaker 2: his depleted defense he wanted to stick with the offense

1078
00:47:56,640 --> 00:47:57,120
Speaker 2: on the field.

1079
00:47:57,920 --> 00:47:58,800
Speaker 1: Am I crazy for that?

1080
00:47:59,480 --> 00:48:02,759
Speaker 3: Is what you know? No, you're not crazy for thinking that.

1081
00:48:02,920 --> 00:48:06,319
Speaker 3: There's some truth to that. You know, Sometimes you want

1082
00:48:06,360 --> 00:48:07,960
Speaker 3: to do that to make sure that you give your

1083
00:48:08,040 --> 00:48:10,800
Speaker 3: team the best chance of being able to win. You

1084
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:13,560
Speaker 3: use your offense to play defense as part of a

1085
00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:17,520
Speaker 3: plan to be complimentary in all fadses offense, defense, kicking

1086
00:48:17,600 --> 00:48:20,799
Speaker 3: and working together. And if they did decide to make

1087
00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:23,400
Speaker 3: that move because of that, it's a sound strategy. It's

1088
00:48:23,440 --> 00:48:26,000
Speaker 3: a proven strategy if you can control it where your

1089
00:48:26,040 --> 00:48:27,960
Speaker 3: offense is better than your defense, than what you do

1090
00:48:28,120 --> 00:48:30,279
Speaker 3: is you speed it up, slow it down to make

1091
00:48:30,360 --> 00:48:33,080
Speaker 3: sure that the team that is uh the strength of

1092
00:48:33,120 --> 00:48:35,879
Speaker 3: your team ultimately has the biggest impact on the game.

1093
00:48:36,680 --> 00:48:39,680
Speaker 2: All right, I would think that in this game, unless

1094
00:48:40,080 --> 00:48:43,799
Speaker 2: there's something, some act of God happens, the Lions will

1095
00:48:43,800 --> 00:48:44,640
Speaker 2: not lose this game.

1096
00:48:45,160 --> 00:48:47,440
Speaker 1: There's no way. I just I can't, even though I

1097
00:48:47,520 --> 00:48:51,440
Speaker 1: know the games in Chicago nationally is just man.

1098
00:48:51,560 --> 00:48:55,319
Speaker 3: The National Football League, any given Sunday and any given Sunday.

1099
00:48:57,080 --> 00:48:58,880
Speaker 1: You do like the Lions for this game, though, I mean,

1100
00:48:58,960 --> 00:48:59,919
Speaker 1: of course I like the Lions.

1101
00:49:00,239 --> 00:49:03,080
Speaker 3: I can't. I saw Kayla Williams laying on the sideline

1102
00:49:03,120 --> 00:49:05,680
Speaker 3: or whatever he was doing, groveling on the side of

1103
00:49:05,800 --> 00:49:08,640
Speaker 3: his body language is absolutely worse, but yeah, I saw it.

1104
00:49:09,480 --> 00:49:12,000
Speaker 3: So because of that, I have to go with the lines.

1105
00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:13,439
Speaker 3: I don't know if he's gonna be able to endure

1106
00:49:13,480 --> 00:49:14,320
Speaker 3: any bad moments.

1107
00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:17,359
Speaker 2: Right, we move along now the Jets, I mean, they're

1108
00:49:17,400 --> 00:49:20,000
Speaker 2: pitiful as well. They should have a game like a

1109
00:49:20,080 --> 00:49:22,640
Speaker 2: bowl game or in the National Football of the two

1110
00:49:22,719 --> 00:49:24,239
Speaker 2: worst teams really and.

1111
00:49:25,719 --> 00:49:26,919
Speaker 1: Have called the Toilet Bowl.

1112
00:49:27,280 --> 00:49:29,480
Speaker 2: The Toilet Bowl will be the worst two teams in

1113
00:49:29,560 --> 00:49:32,120
Speaker 2: the NFL, and maybe really and maybe that team that

1114
00:49:32,480 --> 00:49:35,080
Speaker 2: wins that game has the option of getting the first

1115
00:49:35,160 --> 00:49:38,280
Speaker 2: draft pick instead of like people like, you know, throwing

1116
00:49:38,360 --> 00:49:40,359
Speaker 2: the games and dumping them to get the draft pick.

1117
00:49:40,560 --> 00:49:43,759
Speaker 2: Have the two worst teams play and the sponsored by

1118
00:49:43,840 --> 00:49:47,399
Speaker 2: Santa Flush or something like that, a bolt cleaner or whatever,

1119
00:49:47,680 --> 00:49:48,759
Speaker 2: and called the toilet Bowl.

1120
00:49:49,000 --> 00:49:50,759
Speaker 1: And the Jets should be in that game, and maybe

1121
00:49:50,880 --> 00:49:52,120
Speaker 1: Carolina should be in that game.

1122
00:49:52,160 --> 00:49:54,480
Speaker 2: And let them play. I mean, people will go people

1123
00:49:54,520 --> 00:49:57,440
Speaker 2: love football. Just another game after the Super Bowl. Do

1124
00:49:57,520 --> 00:49:59,919
Speaker 2: it the week after the Super Bowl. Have the toilet Bowl.

1125
00:50:00,200 --> 00:50:00,960
Speaker 1: That's what they should do.

1126
00:50:02,040 --> 00:50:03,840
Speaker 3: Have the toilet Bowl and betty it. Why don't you

1127
00:50:03,920 --> 00:50:06,240
Speaker 3: make it like soccer where you have a little relegation

1128
00:50:06,719 --> 00:50:08,880
Speaker 3: where if you lose the toilet Bowl, you now have

1129
00:50:08,960 --> 00:50:11,960
Speaker 3: to play, you know, in the Canadian Football playing, or

1130
00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:14,640
Speaker 3: you had to play in the UFL or whatever league

1131
00:50:14,760 --> 00:50:18,879
Speaker 3: exists in the spring. No, but like on the real

1132
00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:20,759
Speaker 3: like they have to do something. You want those teams

1133
00:50:20,800 --> 00:50:23,520
Speaker 3: to be competitive, but it's bad, man. The divide between

1134
00:50:23,560 --> 00:50:25,800
Speaker 3: the halves and the have nots has never been bigger

1135
00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:27,160
Speaker 3: in an abtional football league.

1136
00:50:27,320 --> 00:50:29,080
Speaker 2: But the funny thing is, like the way the Rams

1137
00:50:29,120 --> 00:50:32,160
Speaker 2: started this season, they were one and one in four

1138
00:50:32,640 --> 00:50:33,799
Speaker 2: and I thought it was all over.

1139
00:50:34,120 --> 00:50:35,759
Speaker 1: You know, right now they've they've won three in a row.

1140
00:50:35,800 --> 00:50:36,480
Speaker 1: They're eight and six.

1141
00:50:36,560 --> 00:50:38,239
Speaker 2: I mean they're coming alive. And I know they had

1142
00:50:38,320 --> 00:50:40,839
Speaker 2: some injuries, you no doubt, but I think the Rams

1143
00:50:40,880 --> 00:50:43,480
Speaker 2: team right now is certainly more complete. They got a defense.

1144
00:50:43,560 --> 00:50:45,919
Speaker 2: The defense could shut the Jets down with their pass rush.

1145
00:50:46,120 --> 00:50:47,640
Speaker 2: I think the Rams win this game. I think the

1146
00:50:47,719 --> 00:50:50,640
Speaker 2: Rams win again. They go fourth straight and the Rams,

1147
00:50:50,760 --> 00:50:53,279
Speaker 2: now who have won the last three, their rest after

1148
00:50:53,320 --> 00:50:55,120
Speaker 2: a Thursday night game against the forty nine ers and

1149
00:50:55,160 --> 00:50:57,960
Speaker 2: if they went out their division champs, believe it or not,

1150
00:50:58,160 --> 00:50:59,959
Speaker 2: and look like they got to win out against the Jets.

1151
00:51:00,040 --> 00:51:03,719
Speaker 2: Still win today, Arizona possibility in Seattle, which you know

1152
00:51:03,840 --> 00:51:06,879
Speaker 2: Smith injured somethings to some extent. I think the Rems

1153
00:51:06,920 --> 00:51:08,440
Speaker 2: have a chance to be division champs.

1154
00:51:10,480 --> 00:51:12,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, No, they're a really good team. Sean mc day's

1155
00:51:12,840 --> 00:51:14,680
Speaker 3: done a really good job. It's probably one of his

1156
00:51:14,800 --> 00:51:17,040
Speaker 3: better coaching jobs, holding it together while waiting for his

1157
00:51:17,160 --> 00:51:19,840
Speaker 3: guys to come back. Now that everyone is back, Matthew

1158
00:51:19,880 --> 00:51:23,480
Speaker 3: Stafford is able to throw the Cooper Cup and Poka nakula.

1159
00:51:23,719 --> 00:51:26,640
Speaker 3: The running game is solid with Karen Williams play corn.

1160
00:51:27,520 --> 00:51:31,120
Speaker 3: They're upfront getting after that Delana scrimmags. Offensely, they're perfect

1161
00:51:31,160 --> 00:51:34,480
Speaker 3: man and he is controlling the offense to control the game.

1162
00:51:34,520 --> 00:51:37,800
Speaker 3: He's using the offense slow it up, speed it I

1163
00:51:37,880 --> 00:51:42,440
Speaker 3: mean slow it down, dictate the terms sometimes speed it up.

1164
00:51:42,920 --> 00:51:45,080
Speaker 3: And he is making the defense work. And what he's

1165
00:51:45,120 --> 00:51:48,919
Speaker 3: doing he's limiting the possessions for the opponent. He's making

1166
00:51:48,960 --> 00:51:51,200
Speaker 3: sure his defense is fresh when they go into field,

1167
00:51:51,239 --> 00:51:53,120
Speaker 3: and because of that, they're playing much better in all aspects.

1168
00:51:54,000 --> 00:51:55,480
Speaker 1: I'll tell you we take the Rams in this one,

1169
00:51:55,640 --> 00:51:56,360
Speaker 1: no doubt about that.

1170
00:51:56,880 --> 00:52:00,360
Speaker 2: Eagles twelve and two at the Washington Command there's and

1171
00:52:00,440 --> 00:52:03,080
Speaker 2: they've each met on week number ten. Eagles won that

1172
00:52:03,120 --> 00:52:05,520
Speaker 2: game twenty six eighteen. You know, And there was a

1173
00:52:05,600 --> 00:52:08,480
Speaker 2: bit of a concern, I guess because last week when

1174
00:52:08,520 --> 00:52:11,440
Speaker 2: the Steelers played the Eagles, the Steelers were able to

1175
00:52:11,560 --> 00:52:14,040
Speaker 2: load up the box and stop say Kwon Barkley only

1176
00:52:14,080 --> 00:52:16,920
Speaker 2: had like something like sixty three rushing yards. And it

1177
00:52:17,000 --> 00:52:19,000
Speaker 2: doesn't make a difference with the Eagles. I think they're

1178
00:52:19,040 --> 00:52:21,960
Speaker 2: so loaded offensively because Jalen Hurts in that game through

1179
00:52:22,040 --> 00:52:24,960
Speaker 2: for two ninety with AJ Brown Davonte Smith each had

1180
00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:27,080
Speaker 2: more than one hundred yards receiving. So, okay, you want

1181
00:52:27,080 --> 00:52:29,120
Speaker 2: to stop Barkley, that's okay. We got other weapons on

1182
00:52:29,200 --> 00:52:31,520
Speaker 2: this team. This team is so complete. I mentioned coming

1183
00:52:31,560 --> 00:52:34,720
Speaker 2: into the segment, too much firepower. That's the Philadelphia Eagles

1184
00:52:34,880 --> 00:52:36,959
Speaker 2: did a number one ranked defense and they got great

1185
00:52:36,960 --> 00:52:38,120
Speaker 2: firepower on offense.

1186
00:52:39,800 --> 00:52:42,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I'm with you on it. They are

1187
00:52:42,800 --> 00:52:46,319
Speaker 3: terrific when it comes to how they can get down

1188
00:52:46,360 --> 00:52:48,319
Speaker 3: and how they can dominate. Since they've kind of gone

1189
00:52:48,320 --> 00:52:50,120
Speaker 3: back to some of their old school tackles where they're

1190
00:52:50,160 --> 00:52:53,120
Speaker 3: using the quarterback run game to compliment what they do

1191
00:52:53,239 --> 00:52:56,720
Speaker 3: with Sakuon Barkley. They've been unstoppable. AJ Brown and Devonte

1192
00:52:56,800 --> 00:53:01,200
Speaker 3: Smith don't get considering them consistent number of touches. But

1193
00:53:01,360 --> 00:53:04,440
Speaker 3: after they come to Squeaked a little bit, the Greece

1194
00:53:04,560 --> 00:53:06,279
Speaker 3: is kind of heading their way, so they get more

1195
00:53:06,640 --> 00:53:08,800
Speaker 3: opportunities and touches, and we saw both of them go

1196
00:53:08,800 --> 00:53:12,279
Speaker 3: over one hundred yards against the Pittsburgh still is. It's

1197
00:53:12,320 --> 00:53:14,600
Speaker 3: just a tough team to play because defensive Vic Fangio

1198
00:53:14,760 --> 00:53:17,319
Speaker 3: got them going their little salty, little ornery, but their

1199
00:53:17,800 --> 00:53:20,399
Speaker 3: sound and all of their execution and how they do things.

1200
00:53:20,920 --> 00:53:22,960
Speaker 3: It's a tough team, much better team than we've seen

1201
00:53:23,040 --> 00:53:24,839
Speaker 3: in the past. Kind of like this team. This team

1202
00:53:24,960 --> 00:53:26,080
Speaker 3: is sworn up the charts.

1203
00:53:26,760 --> 00:53:29,239
Speaker 2: So why are all the criticism with Nick Sirianni and

1204
00:53:29,320 --> 00:53:32,120
Speaker 2: why there's always something going on with that ball club

1205
00:53:32,280 --> 00:53:35,359
Speaker 2: like a Peyton place in the soap opera. I mean,

1206
00:53:35,440 --> 00:53:38,520
Speaker 2: they're twelve and two and Nick Siriani, they think the

1207
00:53:38,560 --> 00:53:41,040
Speaker 2: guys on the hot seat. What's the deal with Nick Siriani?

1208
00:53:42,080 --> 00:53:43,640
Speaker 3: You got what I'm saying, Man, that's a part of

1209
00:53:43,880 --> 00:53:46,480
Speaker 3: that town. You know, just like you had to sit

1210
00:53:46,600 --> 00:53:49,560
Speaker 3: and hear all of the Ohio State fans go crazy

1211
00:53:50,040 --> 00:53:54,799
Speaker 3: because the Buckey has lost to Michigan. It's the same thing,

1212
00:53:54,960 --> 00:53:56,959
Speaker 3: like they always want more. It's a rabbit fan base.

1213
00:53:57,400 --> 00:54:02,000
Speaker 3: And Philadelphia the Eagles are really reflective of their community.

1214
00:54:02,120 --> 00:54:04,680
Speaker 3: So they are a little ornery and testy and emotional

1215
00:54:04,800 --> 00:54:07,120
Speaker 3: and up and down and all of that. You just

1216
00:54:07,160 --> 00:54:08,680
Speaker 3: have to wear the storm. And to me, I think

1217
00:54:08,760 --> 00:54:10,759
Speaker 3: Nick Syriana has done a great job weather in the storm.

1218
00:54:11,440 --> 00:54:14,040
Speaker 2: All Right, we talked about Michael Pennix. He's gonna have

1219
00:54:14,080 --> 00:54:16,600
Speaker 2: a good break today because they're at home. The Falcons

1220
00:54:16,640 --> 00:54:19,400
Speaker 2: are and they're hosting the Giants. Now, the Giants are

1221
00:54:19,400 --> 00:54:21,520
Speaker 2: two and twelve and both of those wins are on

1222
00:54:21,560 --> 00:54:22,919
Speaker 2: their road, but they're not going to get their third

1223
00:54:23,000 --> 00:54:25,640
Speaker 2: win today against Atlanta. As a matter of fact, I

1224
00:54:25,719 --> 00:54:28,000
Speaker 2: have no idea. It's like a revolving door with the

1225
00:54:28,080 --> 00:54:31,240
Speaker 2: quarterback situation with the Giants. Now they're saying Tim Boyles

1226
00:54:31,280 --> 00:54:34,440
Speaker 2: that quarterback, who's the quarterback? Tommy Devido? Drew Locke is

1227
00:54:34,480 --> 00:54:36,960
Speaker 2: out with that heel injury. The Vito's got a concussion,

1228
00:54:36,960 --> 00:54:40,160
Speaker 2: which a concussion protocol. So now Tim Boyle is a quarterback?

1229
00:54:40,680 --> 00:54:42,280
Speaker 2: Is that with the Giants?

1230
00:54:42,320 --> 00:54:42,880
Speaker 1: What's going on?

1231
00:54:43,640 --> 00:54:46,480
Speaker 2: They're in bed shape? I mean this team, they're in

1232
00:54:46,560 --> 00:54:48,759
Speaker 2: worse shape than the Jets. You know, they may be

1233
00:54:48,840 --> 00:54:51,960
Speaker 2: in worse shape than Carolina. Really, at least Carolina's got

1234
00:54:52,040 --> 00:54:54,680
Speaker 2: a groomy. They're grooming a quarterback. The Giants don't even

1235
00:54:54,719 --> 00:54:56,120
Speaker 2: have a quarterback to groom.

1236
00:54:57,360 --> 00:54:59,160
Speaker 3: No, they'dn't bad shake. They didn't bad shake.

1237
00:54:59,239 --> 00:54:59,319
Speaker 2: Man.

1238
00:54:59,360 --> 00:55:01,880
Speaker 3: Are Tim boy has to start? I think anyone should.

1239
00:55:01,920 --> 00:55:03,799
Speaker 3: To understand, you have to go back and look at

1240
00:55:03,840 --> 00:55:07,560
Speaker 3: his collegiate career and just the lack of the fact

1241
00:55:07,560 --> 00:55:09,120
Speaker 3: that he's still in the league is remarkable.

1242
00:55:09,160 --> 00:55:11,399
Speaker 1: Testing When did he play college ball. I don't don't

1243
00:55:11,440 --> 00:55:12,600
Speaker 1: remember he started it.

1244
00:55:12,760 --> 00:55:15,600
Speaker 3: He started at Yukon and then I mean I think

1245
00:55:15,600 --> 00:55:18,000
Speaker 3: he may have had one touchdown, thirteen interceptions or something

1246
00:55:18,040 --> 00:55:20,480
Speaker 3: like that at Yukon. Then he bounced around to a

1247
00:55:20,560 --> 00:55:23,040
Speaker 3: lower level program before making his way into the league.

1248
00:55:23,400 --> 00:55:28,000
Speaker 3: And he's never excelled at any level. But he is

1249
00:55:28,120 --> 00:55:32,759
Speaker 3: intriguing and captivating because he has prototypical dimensions size, arm, talent,

1250
00:55:32,880 --> 00:55:35,839
Speaker 3: and those things. But he's never put it together where

1251
00:55:35,880 --> 00:55:40,040
Speaker 3: he can successfully play quarterback if he has to start

1252
00:55:40,120 --> 00:55:43,040
Speaker 3: man who tough slit to slip.

1253
00:55:43,080 --> 00:55:45,040
Speaker 2: Well, it's funny you mentioned, like, I say, where did

1254
00:55:45,080 --> 00:55:47,279
Speaker 2: he play? Said Yukon then went to another lower level.

1255
00:55:47,360 --> 00:55:49,960
Speaker 2: I mean, Yukon's pretty low for football. I mean, doesn't

1256
00:55:49,960 --> 00:55:53,040
Speaker 2: get much lower than Yukon. Really, I mean, I'll take

1257
00:55:53,080 --> 00:55:54,800
Speaker 2: a division to school Yukon.

1258
00:55:55,440 --> 00:55:57,600
Speaker 3: Now. Jim Moore Junior has them up and going. They're

1259
00:55:57,600 --> 00:56:00,520
Speaker 3: eight and four, they've been winning. They've had back seasons

1260
00:56:00,560 --> 00:56:03,120
Speaker 3: in two of the last three years. Don't don't pour

1261
00:56:03,400 --> 00:56:07,960
Speaker 3: dirt on you God to make your point. They're pretty

1262
00:56:08,040 --> 00:56:09,759
Speaker 3: they're all right, all right.

1263
00:56:10,000 --> 00:56:12,800
Speaker 2: Speaking of teams that are in bad shape, the Carolina Panthers,

1264
00:56:12,960 --> 00:56:14,480
Speaker 2: and they were at home as well to you three

1265
00:56:14,520 --> 00:56:16,880
Speaker 2: and eleven. They're hosting the Cardinals. Will tell you what

1266
00:56:17,000 --> 00:56:19,640
Speaker 2: comes down to the Cardinals right now, and we'll see

1267
00:56:19,680 --> 00:56:20,600
Speaker 2: how badly they want it.

1268
00:56:20,880 --> 00:56:24,440
Speaker 1: Will win. They're in and if they lose, forget about it.

1269
00:56:24,520 --> 00:56:26,279
Speaker 1: The season is over. That's it for the Cardinals. That's

1270
00:56:26,280 --> 00:56:27,000
Speaker 1: the way it's got to be.

1271
00:56:27,400 --> 00:56:29,440
Speaker 2: And the Cardinals I think will win because I think

1272
00:56:29,480 --> 00:56:32,600
Speaker 2: the game means more, not because the Carolina Panthers aren't

1273
00:56:32,640 --> 00:56:34,719
Speaker 2: that good, but I just think that you know, win

1274
00:56:34,920 --> 00:56:37,080
Speaker 2: and they know what. They know what they're playing for, right.

1275
00:56:38,040 --> 00:56:41,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, you motivated and where their motivation should come a

1276
00:56:41,200 --> 00:56:45,360
Speaker 3: greater level of effort, but also comes some stress and

1277
00:56:45,440 --> 00:56:47,680
Speaker 3: some pressure, and if you don't handle it the right way,

1278
00:56:47,880 --> 00:56:50,440
Speaker 3: you play into the hands of the other team. The

1279
00:56:50,520 --> 00:56:53,120
Speaker 3: other team doesn't have anything to play for. Carolina is

1280
00:56:53,200 --> 00:56:54,640
Speaker 3: just trying to play out the string. They want to

1281
00:56:54,640 --> 00:56:56,279
Speaker 3: finish it off like pros and see if they can

1282
00:56:56,320 --> 00:56:59,600
Speaker 3: get some small wins, so micro wins heading to the

1283
00:56:59,640 --> 00:57:02,239
Speaker 3: off seat. That can be challenging because, man, you have

1284
00:57:02,440 --> 00:57:04,799
Speaker 3: no idea what they're going to do. They could throw

1285
00:57:04,880 --> 00:57:07,680
Speaker 3: all the traditional norms out the window and do something

1286
00:57:08,080 --> 00:57:12,319
Speaker 3: completely different, and so you just ridden with anxiety trying

1287
00:57:12,320 --> 00:57:15,239
Speaker 3: to figure out how to deal with this stuff when

1288
00:57:15,280 --> 00:57:17,959
Speaker 3: you are a team like that that is playing for something,

1289
00:57:18,000 --> 00:57:19,800
Speaker 3: but the old team has nothing at all to play for.

1290
00:57:20,640 --> 00:57:22,880
Speaker 2: Now you're a man who played the game and you

1291
00:57:23,000 --> 00:57:25,160
Speaker 2: know the answer to this question. I'm going to say

1292
00:57:25,200 --> 00:57:29,000
Speaker 2: this from a fan looking in from a distance. Okay,

1293
00:57:29,160 --> 00:57:32,840
Speaker 2: last week Carolina lost to the Dallas Cowboys thirty to fourteen,

1294
00:57:33,320 --> 00:57:35,800
Speaker 2: and they gave up two hundred and eleven rushing yards,

1295
00:57:36,000 --> 00:57:38,760
Speaker 2: and everybody's going to probably point fingers to the defensive coach.

1296
00:57:39,160 --> 00:57:43,800
Speaker 1: I think defense is a will and maybe I'm wrong.

1297
00:57:43,880 --> 00:57:45,440
Speaker 2: I mean, obviously you have to have some talent, but

1298
00:57:45,480 --> 00:57:48,280
Speaker 2: if you're wearing an NFL uniform, you got talent and

1299
00:57:48,440 --> 00:57:51,080
Speaker 2: you have the will to want to stop a runner.

1300
00:57:51,520 --> 00:57:52,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, that there's game planning.

1301
00:57:52,920 --> 00:57:55,760
Speaker 2: I get that, But if I'm playing against Baltimore, I

1302
00:57:55,880 --> 00:57:58,760
Speaker 2: know that Derek Henry's going to get the ball rushing.

1303
00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:00,760
Speaker 2: So you have to have the will to want to

1304
00:58:00,800 --> 00:58:04,320
Speaker 2: stop these guys. And obviously, I think, guys, I'm not

1305
00:58:04,480 --> 00:58:07,320
Speaker 2: Carolina team and I didn't watch the game. They gave up.

1306
00:58:07,680 --> 00:58:09,800
Speaker 2: They quit and I hate to use that word, they quit.

1307
00:58:10,160 --> 00:58:12,760
Speaker 2: You cannot give up two hundred and eleven rushing yards

1308
00:58:12,960 --> 00:58:15,240
Speaker 2: to a team. There's just no way. And you have

1309
00:58:15,360 --> 00:58:18,520
Speaker 2: to want to stop them. And these guys couldn't. They

1310
00:58:18,520 --> 00:58:20,480
Speaker 2: didn't want to stop them. Am I right there? It's

1311
00:58:20,520 --> 00:58:22,080
Speaker 2: a mental thing more than physical.

1312
00:58:23,120 --> 00:58:24,760
Speaker 3: I think it's a little bit of everything. Anytime you

1313
00:58:24,880 --> 00:58:28,800
Speaker 3: have that kind of those kinds of issues, a lot

1314
00:58:28,800 --> 00:58:33,800
Speaker 3: of times you have long assignments, misalignment, you don't get

1315
00:58:33,880 --> 00:58:35,840
Speaker 3: lined up properly, and so you have a tough time

1316
00:58:36,920 --> 00:58:41,960
Speaker 3: being able to do it. Man, when you lose like that. Yes,

1317
00:58:42,200 --> 00:58:44,760
Speaker 3: there's plinny blame. You can talk about people quitting or

1318
00:58:44,840 --> 00:58:46,480
Speaker 3: giving up in those things, but a lot of times

1319
00:58:46,480 --> 00:58:49,760
Speaker 3: it's just shoddy execution, you know.

1320
00:58:49,960 --> 00:58:52,240
Speaker 1: And I hate to use the word quit. And again,

1321
00:58:52,320 --> 00:58:54,400
Speaker 1: I think the people people like myself who.

1322
00:58:54,360 --> 00:58:56,440
Speaker 2: Have rabid fans and I'm a fan, that's what I am,

1323
00:58:56,520 --> 00:58:58,760
Speaker 2: really talk about the game, and I love talking about

1324
00:58:58,760 --> 00:59:01,560
Speaker 2: the game. I don't think we realize how good these

1325
00:59:01,640 --> 00:59:04,280
Speaker 2: guys are, you know. And again, like I'll go back

1326
00:59:04,320 --> 00:59:07,040
Speaker 2: to the Tank Dell yesterday when he got hurt with Detexans.

1327
00:59:07,840 --> 00:59:10,640
Speaker 2: You take a step back and you see CJ. Strouth

1328
00:59:10,720 --> 00:59:13,480
Speaker 2: crying on TV when the guy got hurt. It's just,

1329
00:59:13,880 --> 00:59:18,800
Speaker 2: you know, it's their life, it's their livelihood, it's their loves,

1330
00:59:18,880 --> 00:59:23,040
Speaker 2: their passion, and it's taken away in a matter of seconds.

1331
00:59:23,080 --> 00:59:24,439
Speaker 1: And you hate to see that happen.

1332
00:59:24,520 --> 00:59:29,040
Speaker 3: You just do, You really do. Yeah, you absolutely hate

1333
00:59:29,080 --> 00:59:31,200
Speaker 3: seeing that happen. And man, it's one of those things

1334
00:59:31,280 --> 00:59:37,280
Speaker 3: that just makes it so so tough. And you just

1335
00:59:37,360 --> 00:59:39,959
Speaker 3: think about every time you step on the field, the risk,

1336
00:59:40,040 --> 00:59:42,120
Speaker 3: the rewards and all of that. But then when you

1337
00:59:42,200 --> 00:59:44,760
Speaker 3: do see your comrade down, you do see them deal

1338
00:59:44,840 --> 00:59:48,000
Speaker 3: with a serious injury. It does take some of that

1339
00:59:48,120 --> 00:59:51,520
Speaker 3: invincibility that you cloak yourself around. It takes some of

1340
00:59:51,600 --> 00:59:55,200
Speaker 3: that away. And you just saw some very vulnerable moments,

1341
00:59:55,360 --> 00:59:57,600
Speaker 3: and you know it's just one of those tough situations

1342
00:59:57,880 --> 01:00:00,840
Speaker 3: that you eventually have to overcome. No doubt about that.

1343
01:00:01,000 --> 01:00:01,200
Speaker 1: Really.

1344
01:00:01,200 --> 01:00:03,480
Speaker 2: All right, he's Bucky Brooks. Get him on X at

1373
01:01:09,400 --> 01:01:12,680
Speaker 2: the annual season of gift giving and gift giving obviously

1374
01:01:12,760 --> 01:01:15,600
Speaker 2: from NFL quarterbacks to their locker room and to their

1375
01:01:15,680 --> 01:01:19,840
Speaker 2: offensive lineman. And Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow have you

1376
01:01:19,920 --> 01:01:23,160
Speaker 2: heard this one buck? He gifted his offensive line authentic

1377
01:01:23,360 --> 01:01:26,160
Speaker 2: Japanese katana swords for Christmas.

1378
01:01:26,600 --> 01:01:27,080
Speaker 1: Amazing.

1379
01:01:28,120 --> 01:01:30,720
Speaker 2: Not only did Burrow give each of his offensive linemen

1380
01:01:31,000 --> 01:01:34,000
Speaker 2: one of Japan's most famous swords, he also took the

1381
01:01:34,080 --> 01:01:37,760
Speaker 2: extra step towards making the gift as authentic as possible. Really,

1382
01:01:38,160 --> 01:01:42,360
Speaker 2: and while katanas are most often associated with the Edo period,

1383
01:01:42,400 --> 01:01:45,800
Speaker 2: which is sixteen oh three to eighteen sixty eight, the

1384
01:01:46,000 --> 01:01:48,560
Speaker 2: history of the single edged sword goes as far back

1385
01:01:48,800 --> 01:01:53,000
Speaker 2: as become a core period eleven eighty five to thirteen thirty.

1386
01:01:52,800 --> 01:01:55,680
Speaker 1: Three, when the term was first used to describe.

1387
01:01:55,280 --> 01:01:59,840
Speaker 2: A long sword distinct from the taki, which had previously

1388
01:02:00,200 --> 01:02:02,000
Speaker 2: been in the Japanese sort of choice.

1389
01:02:02,400 --> 01:02:03,439
Speaker 1: It's unbelievable.

1390
01:02:03,720 --> 01:02:06,160
Speaker 2: I don't know how we found this, but Orlando Brown,

1391
01:02:06,280 --> 01:02:09,480
Speaker 2: the Bengals left tackle, said, Joe does a great job

1392
01:02:09,560 --> 01:02:12,480
Speaker 2: at buying gifts that are extremely meaningful. All I really

1393
01:02:12,560 --> 01:02:14,760
Speaker 2: wanted to just win a game that'd be more meaningful.

1394
01:02:14,800 --> 01:02:18,280
Speaker 2: Wouldn't it a sword? Pretty creative? I thought, what have

1395
01:02:18,400 --> 01:02:21,040
Speaker 2: you been around on teams where quarterbacks just go crazy?

1396
01:02:21,120 --> 01:02:24,240
Speaker 2: And but I think it was the other day. I

1397
01:02:24,320 --> 01:02:27,440
Speaker 2: think I read a quarterback of the forty nine ers.

1398
01:02:27,560 --> 01:02:27,640
Speaker 3: Was it?

1399
01:02:27,720 --> 01:02:30,440
Speaker 2: I don't remember. Oh Brocker, I think did he buy

1400
01:02:30,520 --> 01:02:32,040
Speaker 2: him trucks? I think he put him on the truck

1401
01:02:33,040 --> 01:02:33,920
Speaker 2: did so?

1402
01:02:34,040 --> 01:02:37,720
Speaker 3: He had ten opensive line and he brought five toundreds,

1403
01:02:37,800 --> 01:02:41,080
Speaker 3: five sequoyas and handed him out. And to see those

1404
01:02:41,160 --> 01:02:43,920
Speaker 3: guys get excited about the gift of whatever was, he

1405
01:02:44,000 --> 01:02:44,520
Speaker 3: was amazing.

1406
01:02:45,600 --> 01:02:45,720
Speaker 2: Man.

1407
01:02:46,240 --> 01:02:47,520
Speaker 3: I don't know how he pulled it off. I'm sure

1408
01:02:47,680 --> 01:02:49,320
Speaker 3: some kind of partnership, but the fact that he was

1409
01:02:49,360 --> 01:02:52,120
Speaker 3: able to do it. Man, hats off to him. You know,

1410
01:02:52,200 --> 01:02:54,560
Speaker 3: Brock Pardy hasn't gotten paid yet, or maybe he knows

1411
01:02:54,600 --> 01:02:58,080
Speaker 3: something way that we don't know. Maybe he has a

1412
01:02:58,240 --> 01:03:01,080
Speaker 3: deal on the horizons, so he felt it extra generous.

1413
01:03:01,160 --> 01:03:02,760
Speaker 3: But it was a nice gesture by him, for sure.

1414
01:03:03,440 --> 01:03:05,680
Speaker 2: I mean, Joe Burrow is pretty creative with those swords.

1415
01:03:05,680 --> 01:03:07,480
Speaker 2: I don't know what the meaning is that, I guess

1416
01:03:07,560 --> 01:03:09,920
Speaker 2: to fight, I mean, protect me with the swords. I mean,

1417
01:03:09,960 --> 01:03:12,160
Speaker 2: he really needs it, keep him off the ground. A

1418
01:03:12,240 --> 01:03:14,959
Speaker 2: lot of grass stains on Joe Burrow's jerseys, that's for sure.

1419
01:03:15,240 --> 01:03:16,760
Speaker 2: So keep molt, that's for sure.

1420
01:03:16,920 --> 01:03:17,480
Speaker 1: But we'll see.

1421
01:03:17,680 --> 01:03:20,320
Speaker 2: But today the Bengals are hosting the Cleveland Browns. And

1422
01:03:20,760 --> 01:03:23,320
Speaker 2: you know, when you're in a possibility, if you're in,

1423
01:03:23,440 --> 01:03:25,640
Speaker 2: you lose, you go home and it's all over, and

1424
01:03:25,720 --> 01:03:28,000
Speaker 2: they start talking about Reds Baseball in Cincinnati, I guess.

1425
01:03:28,080 --> 01:03:31,160
Speaker 2: But Miles Garrett had some comments the other day, and

1426
01:03:31,160 --> 01:03:33,160
Speaker 2: I guess he's putting the Cleveland Browns on the clock.

1427
01:03:33,760 --> 01:03:36,840
Speaker 2: And Miles Garrett right now, he's played for wilde four

1428
01:03:36,960 --> 01:03:40,480
Speaker 2: defensive coordinators. He's going to regular fifty and sixty four

1429
01:03:40,560 --> 01:03:42,800
Speaker 2: played for the Cleveland Browns. For eight years and he's

1430
01:03:42,840 --> 01:03:45,480
Speaker 2: a Hall of Famer, right And look, I love what

1431
01:03:45,600 --> 01:03:47,280
Speaker 2: you have to say the other day. I'm not trying

1432
01:03:47,280 --> 01:03:49,560
Speaker 2: to rebuild. I'm trying to win right now. And he says,

1433
01:03:49,600 --> 01:03:51,600
Speaker 2: I want to be loyal to the team that's drafted me.

1434
01:03:51,800 --> 01:03:54,480
Speaker 2: He's not looking to leave. He wants to stay in Cleveland.

1435
01:03:54,480 --> 01:03:54,880
Speaker 1: I love it.

1436
01:03:55,120 --> 01:03:57,320
Speaker 2: And you got to think that the Cleveland Browns would

1437
01:03:57,360 --> 01:03:59,880
Speaker 2: want to lock up Miles Garrett at least to be

1438
01:04:00,120 --> 01:04:01,720
Speaker 2: the anchor on the defensive line.

1439
01:04:01,840 --> 01:04:02,480
Speaker 1: I hope they do.

1440
01:04:03,760 --> 01:04:06,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean you have to wonder what when he

1441
01:04:07,000 --> 01:04:10,600
Speaker 3: makes those comments, what is underlying intentions? Is it to

1442
01:04:10,720 --> 01:04:13,080
Speaker 3: make sure that he gets more money, gets a new deal?

1443
01:04:13,280 --> 01:04:15,160
Speaker 3: Is it to make sure he's involved in the process

1444
01:04:15,600 --> 01:04:18,080
Speaker 3: all of that. That's a conversation that Kevislavanski has to

1445
01:04:18,160 --> 01:04:20,160
Speaker 3: have with Miles Garrett to kind of just check in

1446
01:04:20,200 --> 01:04:22,680
Speaker 3: and see where his head's at. Interesting.

1447
01:04:22,800 --> 01:04:24,600
Speaker 2: But you know, in week number seven was the Bengals

1448
01:04:24,640 --> 01:04:28,200
Speaker 2: twenty one to fourteen over the Cleveland Browns. Jamis Winston

1449
01:04:28,280 --> 01:04:31,480
Speaker 2: right now is probably benched, So I don't think he'll

1450
01:04:31,520 --> 01:04:36,040
Speaker 2: be playing today. And it's different playing for something or

1451
01:04:36,200 --> 01:04:38,800
Speaker 2: maybe playing for Pride, as you always mentioned. You know,

1452
01:04:39,160 --> 01:04:43,400
Speaker 2: you can't dog it because you may be cut and

1453
01:04:43,520 --> 01:04:45,760
Speaker 2: you want to look good on tape, so you're still

1454
01:04:45,800 --> 01:04:47,680
Speaker 2: gonna put out so you look good on tape for

1455
01:04:47,840 --> 01:04:50,400
Speaker 2: maybe another job for another team. So the Browns will

1456
01:04:50,440 --> 01:04:52,120
Speaker 2: come to play, and I think there's something to be

1457
01:04:52,200 --> 01:04:54,680
Speaker 2: said about, you know what, we're not going to the playoffs,

1458
01:04:54,720 --> 01:04:57,360
Speaker 2: but let's keep them from going to the playoffs too.

1459
01:04:58,320 --> 01:05:02,120
Speaker 3: I mean there's some of that motivation there. But you're professionals, man.

1460
01:05:02,160 --> 01:05:05,000
Speaker 3: You want to be proffer in your performance. Regardless of

1461
01:05:05,080 --> 01:05:06,960
Speaker 3: what the situation is. You still want to be able

1462
01:05:07,000 --> 01:05:08,680
Speaker 3: to play, and you still want to have an opportunity

1463
01:05:08,760 --> 01:05:12,160
Speaker 3: to extend your career. The only thing you can control

1464
01:05:12,320 --> 01:05:15,280
Speaker 3: is how you perform. And you know, in regards to

1465
01:05:15,320 --> 01:05:17,720
Speaker 3: the circumstances, you got to perform. You expected to play

1466
01:05:18,040 --> 01:05:20,360
Speaker 3: to a certain stand. If you do that, don't have

1467
01:05:20,360 --> 01:05:22,280
Speaker 3: to worry about it. If you don't that, that's when

1468
01:05:22,760 --> 01:05:24,080
Speaker 3: some of the scary stuff can happen.

1469
01:05:24,960 --> 01:05:26,800
Speaker 2: You know, we talk about the run game all the time.

1470
01:05:26,880 --> 01:05:30,040
Speaker 2: We see what Saquon Barkley did for Philadelphia, and everybody's

1471
01:05:30,160 --> 01:05:33,000
Speaker 2: kind of high and really a sky high with Jamar

1472
01:05:33,160 --> 01:05:35,760
Speaker 2: Chase and Joe brolrightly saw with his stats proved that.

1473
01:05:36,360 --> 01:05:40,480
Speaker 2: But when they got rid of Joe Mixon and Peerin,

1474
01:05:40,720 --> 01:05:43,040
Speaker 2: they're running back on Kansas City. He was a Bengal too.

1475
01:05:43,320 --> 01:05:45,440
Speaker 2: And they got Zach Moss, who basically did nothing. Then

1476
01:05:45,480 --> 01:05:47,760
Speaker 2: he got hurt. I think that was a major blow

1477
01:05:47,840 --> 01:05:49,960
Speaker 2: and that kind of went under the radar with the

1478
01:05:50,040 --> 01:05:52,520
Speaker 2: stats that Jamar Chase has been putting up, but they

1479
01:05:52,560 --> 01:05:54,680
Speaker 2: don't have much of a running game. They got Chase Brown,

1480
01:05:54,960 --> 01:05:58,560
Speaker 2: who's really done well, but really and truly Joe Mixon

1481
01:05:58,640 --> 01:06:01,640
Speaker 2: is lost, and Peerin did a great job for Kansas

1482
01:06:01,640 --> 01:06:04,240
Speaker 2: City yesterday. I really believe that the two guys that

1483
01:06:04,600 --> 01:06:07,560
Speaker 2: really could have helped the Bengals offensively with their run game,

1484
01:06:07,600 --> 01:06:10,080
Speaker 2: and they're gone. People don't realize more.

1485
01:06:10,200 --> 01:06:11,000
Speaker 1: That's true.

1486
01:06:12,080 --> 01:06:15,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, and they thought they were. They could be easily replaced.

1487
01:06:15,160 --> 01:06:17,280
Speaker 3: All the conversation that we always hear about the running

1488
01:06:17,320 --> 01:06:19,520
Speaker 3: backs like that kind of came out. Or we can

1489
01:06:19,680 --> 01:06:23,680
Speaker 3: just replace Joe Mixing with whatever. What you underestimated maybe

1490
01:06:23,720 --> 01:06:26,440
Speaker 3: with Joe Mixon and p Run their impact in the

1491
01:06:26,560 --> 01:06:29,560
Speaker 3: locker room. How much did they do behind the scenes

1492
01:06:29,600 --> 01:06:32,360
Speaker 3: to make sure that the team was operating smoothly. What

1493
01:06:32,520 --> 01:06:35,120
Speaker 3: did they say, who do they hold accountable? Who did

1494
01:06:35,160 --> 01:06:38,800
Speaker 3: they check up? Then their performance? These guys performed well

1495
01:06:39,120 --> 01:06:42,160
Speaker 3: in the clutch. You knew it. And you can't keep everybody.

1496
01:06:42,160 --> 01:06:44,400
Speaker 3: You have to make hard decisions. But to me, the

1497
01:06:44,480 --> 01:06:48,600
Speaker 3: Bengals certainly didn't help themselves when they let U Joe

1498
01:06:48,680 --> 01:06:49,480
Speaker 3: mixing up the building.

1499
01:06:50,040 --> 01:06:51,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, and what do you think of Zach Moss. I

1500
01:06:51,680 --> 01:06:54,120
Speaker 2: wasn't that impressed with Zach Moss even in Indianapolis?

1501
01:06:54,160 --> 01:06:54,360
Speaker 1: Were you?

1502
01:06:55,640 --> 01:06:55,680
Speaker 5: No?

1503
01:06:55,880 --> 01:06:57,680
Speaker 3: Not really? He was fine. I mean, he's fine player.

1504
01:06:57,680 --> 01:07:00,080
Speaker 3: I remember watching him coming out our school. Authors have

1505
01:07:00,120 --> 01:07:01,800
Speaker 3: an opportunity to be great, but he hasn't been that.

1506
01:07:01,880 --> 01:07:04,280
Speaker 3: He's just been a nice spot player. But that's someone

1507
01:07:04,320 --> 01:07:04,920
Speaker 3: you build.

1508
01:07:04,680 --> 01:07:07,760
Speaker 1: Around, right I'm with you right there. Okay, we move

1509
01:07:07,800 --> 01:07:09,240
Speaker 1: on to Indianapolis.

1510
01:07:09,240 --> 01:07:12,200
Speaker 2: Speaking of Indianapolis, they're hosting the Titans today Indianapolis six

1511
01:07:12,280 --> 01:07:15,760
Speaker 2: and eight, Titans three and eleven, and the Colts right

1512
01:07:15,800 --> 01:07:19,440
Speaker 2: now they're not mathematically eliminated yet, but we'll see what

1513
01:07:19,560 --> 01:07:22,040
Speaker 2: happens about in week five. The Colts won that game,

1514
01:07:22,560 --> 01:07:26,880
Speaker 2: nailed by the twenty seventeen. Again, the Colts are playing

1515
01:07:26,960 --> 01:07:29,600
Speaker 2: for something the Titans are not. That probably means some

1516
01:07:29,680 --> 01:07:31,480
Speaker 2: of the game is in Indianapolis, and all of a

1517
01:07:31,480 --> 01:07:35,040
Speaker 2: sudden now with Anthony Richardson after being benched, they have

1518
01:07:35,200 --> 01:07:39,040
Speaker 2: come back being somewhat more athletic and running the ball

1519
01:07:39,360 --> 01:07:41,280
Speaker 2: with him and as well as Jonathan Taylor.

1520
01:07:41,400 --> 01:07:44,160
Speaker 1: So I think right now the Colts win this game again.

1521
01:07:46,440 --> 01:07:48,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, like Anthony Richard it certainly has been

1522
01:07:48,720 --> 01:07:51,480
Speaker 3: better since he's bounced back, and when you watch how

1523
01:07:51,520 --> 01:07:55,360
Speaker 3: they move around and make plays with him kind of

1524
01:07:55,400 --> 01:07:58,960
Speaker 3: doing his thing, it's been successful. Right now. Man, it's

1525
01:07:58,960 --> 01:08:01,360
Speaker 3: the situation critical for the coast. They got to find

1526
01:08:01,360 --> 01:08:03,240
Speaker 3: a way to win. And so when you think about that,

1527
01:08:03,600 --> 01:08:05,400
Speaker 3: got to put it on his back. He has to

1528
01:08:05,720 --> 01:08:08,240
Speaker 3: step up his game a little bit. This is the

1529
01:08:08,280 --> 01:08:09,520
Speaker 3: way that he gets it done.

1530
01:08:10,320 --> 01:08:13,560
Speaker 2: All right now we move over storyline here and Vikings.

1531
01:08:14,200 --> 01:08:17,760
Speaker 2: The Vikings right now are are at Seattle today playing

1532
01:08:17,800 --> 01:08:20,240
Speaker 2: the Seahawks, and I think the story right now, the

1533
01:08:20,320 --> 01:08:22,479
Speaker 2: underlying story right now, and I mentioned this coming in

1534
01:08:22,560 --> 01:08:23,599
Speaker 2: will will he play next year?

1535
01:08:23,640 --> 01:08:24,799
Speaker 1: But talk about Sam Donald?

1536
01:08:25,200 --> 01:08:26,599
Speaker 2: You know where he is going to play next year

1537
01:08:26,640 --> 01:08:29,640
Speaker 2: because obviously the Vikings invested a first round pick and

1538
01:08:29,800 --> 01:08:32,959
Speaker 2: JJ McCarthy he's missing his rookie year with that Tory miniscus,

1539
01:08:33,280 --> 01:08:35,560
Speaker 2: so it's going to be tough to hand Donald the

1540
01:08:35,680 --> 01:08:39,400
Speaker 2: long term contract. Could a franchise tag be on the table?

1541
01:08:39,439 --> 01:08:41,559
Speaker 2: What's going to happen to Sam Donald? And I look

1542
01:08:41,640 --> 01:08:43,920
Speaker 2: at this team right now, I think if they get

1543
01:08:45,040 --> 01:08:48,840
Speaker 2: a serviceable quarterback who doesn't turn the ball over, which

1544
01:08:48,920 --> 01:08:52,080
Speaker 2: basically Sam Donald's has been doing with the offensive punch

1545
01:08:52,200 --> 01:08:54,640
Speaker 2: that they have with the justin Jefferson's other world, I

1546
01:08:54,760 --> 01:08:56,360
Speaker 2: think anybody could fill in that role.

1547
01:08:56,479 --> 01:08:58,040
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm crazy, but I think they can.

1548
01:08:58,479 --> 01:09:00,679
Speaker 2: And I think that they're gonna stick with Jim mccafee

1549
01:09:00,680 --> 01:09:02,439
Speaker 2: because they invested in him and they drafted it, so

1550
01:09:02,720 --> 01:09:04,000
Speaker 2: he'll be back if he's healthy.

1551
01:09:04,320 --> 01:09:06,360
Speaker 1: So I don't think it makes that much of a difference.

1552
01:09:06,400 --> 01:09:08,720
Speaker 2: Maybe I'm wrong, but on certain teams, you could just

1553
01:09:08,840 --> 01:09:11,280
Speaker 2: plug in a quarterback as long as he's not a

1554
01:09:11,360 --> 01:09:13,280
Speaker 2: turnover a machine, and that's going to happen.

1555
01:09:16,520 --> 01:09:18,600
Speaker 3: I wouldn't quite say that you can turn in and

1556
01:09:18,640 --> 01:09:20,479
Speaker 3: plug anybody in, because we saw what they looked like

1557
01:09:20,560 --> 01:09:24,439
Speaker 3: with Nick Mullins and Josh Dobbs a few seasons ago.

1558
01:09:24,520 --> 01:09:29,280
Speaker 3: It's not the same. However, they do have a formula

1559
01:09:29,400 --> 01:09:31,880
Speaker 3: that works for some quarterbacks that's why they could always

1560
01:09:31,920 --> 01:09:35,639
Speaker 3: be and maybe the reclamation project business, meaning they take

1561
01:09:36,080 --> 01:09:39,040
Speaker 3: this past veterans and help them find their footing. It's

1562
01:09:39,240 --> 01:09:41,880
Speaker 3: not a coincidence that Daniel Jones is on their practice

1563
01:09:41,880 --> 01:09:45,719
Speaker 3: squad right now, Sam Donald bac It's maybe Daniel Jones

1564
01:09:45,760 --> 01:09:48,840
Speaker 3: comes in and competes with JJ McCarthy and gives them

1565
01:09:48,880 --> 01:09:52,120
Speaker 3: the bridge quarterback that they need. Kevin O'Connell is a

1566
01:09:52,200 --> 01:09:54,200
Speaker 3: great play called and one of the best in the league.

1567
01:09:54,240 --> 01:09:56,840
Speaker 3: He is also a quarterback whisperer. He's done that for

1568
01:09:56,960 --> 01:10:00,400
Speaker 3: a while after playing the position, so this this is

1569
01:10:00,479 --> 01:10:03,639
Speaker 3: one where he understands how to squeeze all the juice

1570
01:10:03,640 --> 01:10:06,879
Speaker 3: out of the orange at the quarterback position. And regardless

1571
01:10:06,880 --> 01:10:08,719
Speaker 3: of whether they have Sam down or not, they'll be competitive.

1572
01:10:08,720 --> 01:10:10,000
Speaker 3: But Sam Don is pretty good and I think you

1573
01:10:10,000 --> 01:10:11,559
Speaker 3: get give them his flowers, right.

1574
01:10:11,640 --> 01:10:13,280
Speaker 2: I think the Vikings win this game. And here's some

1575
01:10:13,360 --> 01:10:15,439
Speaker 2: of the reasons why. I don't know if Gino Smith

1576
01:10:15,560 --> 01:10:17,479
Speaker 2: is going to play or Sam Howell's going to start

1577
01:10:17,520 --> 01:10:19,479
Speaker 2: a quarterback for the Seahawks, I don't know. I would

1578
01:10:19,479 --> 01:10:22,080
Speaker 2: think Sam Howell, I really do, because I think Gino's

1579
01:10:22,120 --> 01:10:24,320
Speaker 2: banged up. But it doesn't make a difference because they

1580
01:10:24,400 --> 01:10:25,280
Speaker 2: both turn over the ball.

1581
01:10:25,400 --> 01:10:25,920
Speaker 3: They really do.

1582
01:10:26,520 --> 01:10:29,120
Speaker 2: Gino Smith as good as he's been and last year

1583
01:10:29,160 --> 01:10:31,080
Speaker 2: he was tremendous, and he had a good year this year.

1584
01:10:31,160 --> 01:10:34,320
Speaker 2: Thus far the Seahawks eight and six, he's thrown thirteen

1585
01:10:34,400 --> 01:10:38,840
Speaker 2: interceptions this year. Sam Howell has thrown an NFL high

1586
01:10:38,920 --> 01:10:41,840
Speaker 2: twenty one interceptions last year. So you got two guys

1587
01:10:41,920 --> 01:10:44,519
Speaker 2: that turned the ball over. You know, the Vikings got

1588
01:10:44,600 --> 01:10:46,080
Speaker 2: to be smacking their chops.

1589
01:10:45,960 --> 01:10:47,600
Speaker 1: Right now to see that. So I think that's the

1590
01:10:47,680 --> 01:10:48,320
Speaker 1: key right there.

1591
01:10:48,439 --> 01:10:51,600
Speaker 2: So with the injury factor at the quarterback position, they

1592
01:10:51,680 --> 01:10:53,720
Speaker 2: really got to get their running game going if they can.

1593
01:10:54,200 --> 01:10:55,920
Speaker 2: But still, in all I think the Vikings are a

1594
01:10:55,960 --> 01:10:58,120
Speaker 2: better team. I think the Vikings will win this game,

1595
01:10:58,200 --> 01:10:59,559
Speaker 2: even though it's in Seattle.

1596
01:11:00,040 --> 01:11:00,559
Speaker 1: Vikings win.

1597
01:11:01,680 --> 01:11:05,920
Speaker 3: Mmm mm mmmm uh yeah, I'm with you on the Vikings.

1598
01:11:07,080 --> 01:11:09,200
Speaker 3: It's fun you bring up all the stats about the turnovers,

1599
01:11:09,439 --> 01:11:11,000
Speaker 3: and the first thing it leads me to belite to

1600
01:11:12,040 --> 01:11:15,960
Speaker 3: think Brian Floyds is going to attack this team relentlessly

1601
01:11:16,560 --> 01:11:20,200
Speaker 3: from everywhere with pressures and they're gonna play a mix

1602
01:11:20,280 --> 01:11:24,040
Speaker 3: of zone and man behind it. They're gonna simulate some

1603
01:11:24,200 --> 01:11:27,960
Speaker 3: pressures to kind of create the pressure, feel the anxiety

1604
01:11:28,080 --> 01:11:30,640
Speaker 3: that comes with playing against the high pressure team. To

1605
01:11:30,800 --> 01:11:33,519
Speaker 3: keep that off, and we'll see how the Seattle Sea

1606
01:11:33,560 --> 01:11:35,680
Speaker 3: Hawks handle it. But yeah, this is a big win

1607
01:11:35,720 --> 01:11:38,160
Speaker 3: for the Minnesota Vikings because they still have a chance

1608
01:11:38,320 --> 01:11:40,800
Speaker 3: to vault everybody and get to the top of the

1609
01:11:40,920 --> 01:11:42,840
Speaker 3: conference as the number one seed. They need to take

1610
01:11:42,840 --> 01:11:44,080
Speaker 3: care of business right.

1611
01:11:44,520 --> 01:11:47,120
Speaker 2: Patriots are playing at the Buffalo Bills today. This is

1612
01:11:47,160 --> 01:11:49,200
Speaker 2: a Mike North game. If it's in your backyard, you

1613
01:11:49,280 --> 01:11:51,080
Speaker 2: close the drapes. You don't want to watch this game.

1614
01:11:51,160 --> 01:11:53,680
Speaker 2: Bills eleven and three, Patriots three and eleven. And I

1615
01:11:53,760 --> 01:11:56,440
Speaker 2: will tell you this much. They should have a handicap

1616
01:11:56,720 --> 01:11:58,240
Speaker 2: in the NFL like they're doing golf.

1617
01:11:58,280 --> 01:11:59,040
Speaker 1: What do I mean by that?

1618
01:11:59,600 --> 01:12:03,240
Speaker 2: If the Patriots were playing this game and I was

1619
01:12:03,680 --> 01:12:06,200
Speaker 2: the King of the NFL, I would let them play

1620
01:12:06,240 --> 01:12:09,360
Speaker 2: twelve on eleven. That's the handicap, and they still couldn't win.

1621
01:12:09,720 --> 01:12:12,240
Speaker 2: The Patriots could not beat the Buffalo Bills if they

1622
01:12:12,320 --> 01:12:13,400
Speaker 2: play twelve on eleven.

1623
01:12:13,800 --> 01:12:14,439
Speaker 1: Do you agree?

1624
01:12:15,360 --> 01:12:18,280
Speaker 3: I do not agree. I do not agree. I do

1625
01:12:18,439 --> 01:12:18,840
Speaker 3: not agree.

1626
01:12:19,040 --> 01:12:20,200
Speaker 1: But there should be a handicap.

1627
01:12:20,560 --> 01:12:25,280
Speaker 3: They just should be. I mean maybe for entertainment purposes, Yes,

1628
01:12:25,400 --> 01:12:27,160
Speaker 3: this should be a handicap. But I will say this

1629
01:12:27,320 --> 01:12:32,599
Speaker 3: about be careful on the Patriots just because they're prideful

1630
01:12:33,080 --> 01:12:35,960
Speaker 3: and when they're wounded like they can always flip it

1631
01:12:36,120 --> 01:12:38,120
Speaker 3: and go on to attack. You just have to be

1632
01:12:38,280 --> 01:12:41,479
Speaker 3: careful in dealing with it. You can't sleep walking to

1633
01:12:41,600 --> 01:12:44,679
Speaker 3: this game against the Patriots because the Patriots and doctor

1634
01:12:44,720 --> 01:12:45,160
Speaker 3: Bills off.

1635
01:12:45,200 --> 01:12:48,160
Speaker 1: You're sounding like a coach. Now, you're sounding like a coach.

1636
01:12:48,439 --> 01:12:50,360
Speaker 3: We see it, we see it. We see it too often,

1637
01:12:50,520 --> 01:12:54,280
Speaker 3: like any given Sunday. They have the NFL on the Jersey.

1638
01:12:54,360 --> 01:12:56,680
Speaker 3: They have a collection of guys that can do it. Man,

1639
01:12:56,760 --> 01:12:59,599
Speaker 3: I have a top end quarterback, which is keeping them back.

1640
01:12:59,680 --> 01:13:04,439
Speaker 3: But they're talented enough to just polls a problem in

1641
01:13:04,520 --> 01:13:04,840
Speaker 3: the post.

1642
01:13:04,880 --> 01:13:07,680
Speaker 2: Well, I will say this, New England's past defense has

1643
01:13:07,760 --> 01:13:11,480
Speaker 2: been somewhat respectable and they have a pretty talented secondary,

1644
01:13:11,560 --> 01:13:14,400
Speaker 2: so they could create some problems early on, but I

1645
01:13:14,439 --> 01:13:16,080
Speaker 2: think the Bills pull away and.

1646
01:13:16,120 --> 01:13:17,799
Speaker 1: That Bill's put up about thirty today.

1647
01:13:18,160 --> 01:13:21,400
Speaker 2: They Bills put up I mean offensively, they stink, they

1648
01:13:21,479 --> 01:13:23,400
Speaker 2: do and I know Drake made your guy. They may

1649
01:13:23,439 --> 01:13:26,080
Speaker 2: eventually become a good quarterback in the NFL, but they

1650
01:13:26,120 --> 01:13:27,759
Speaker 2: don't have any firepower on offense.

1651
01:13:28,880 --> 01:13:31,519
Speaker 3: They don't have any firepower. But you told me that

1652
01:13:31,600 --> 01:13:34,439
Speaker 3: this team could beat them eleven on twelve. And now

1653
01:13:34,479 --> 01:13:36,840
Speaker 3: you be a tight game into the end, Like what

1654
01:13:37,320 --> 01:13:39,679
Speaker 3: are we doing? We can blow them out. We canna

1655
01:13:39,680 --> 01:13:40,160
Speaker 3: blow them out.

1656
01:13:41,720 --> 01:13:45,160
Speaker 2: Shot, it'll be like thirty three to seven something like that.

1657
01:13:45,360 --> 01:13:47,640
Speaker 2: Thirty eight to seven. That's that's what that's what the

1658
01:13:47,680 --> 01:13:48,120
Speaker 2: score will be.

1659
01:13:48,280 --> 01:13:48,479
Speaker 3: Wow.

1660
01:13:49,080 --> 01:13:52,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, they'll talk about they got the Bills mafia there today.

1661
01:13:52,400 --> 01:13:53,280
Speaker 2: They've been going crazy.

1662
01:13:53,320 --> 01:13:53,960
Speaker 1: They're going to nuts.

1663
01:13:54,080 --> 01:13:56,800
Speaker 3: Vegas, Vegas. People love you. Put up deck on the number.

1664
01:13:56,960 --> 01:13:59,040
Speaker 3: You feel like they don't blow the spread. I mean,

1665
01:13:59,240 --> 01:14:01,840
Speaker 3: I don't see what the over unders, but you're all

1666
01:14:01,880 --> 01:14:04,680
Speaker 3: about it. Yeah, give you like I feel good.

1667
01:14:04,960 --> 01:14:10,000
Speaker 1: I feel good. Yeah, I feel betting with you, I

1668
01:14:10,120 --> 01:14:10,479
Speaker 1: really do.

1669
01:14:11,000 --> 01:14:14,680
Speaker 3: I you made me start concentrate, start concentrying.

1670
01:14:15,240 --> 01:14:17,400
Speaker 1: I don't want to give you any any advantage and

1671
01:14:17,520 --> 01:14:18,360
Speaker 1: any whatsoever.

1675
01:14:27,280 --> 01:14:31,479
