Speaker 1: Good Morning Football is the production of the NFL in

00:00:06,748 --> 00:00:08,388
Speaker 1: partnership with iHeartRadio.

3
00:00:08,908 --> 00:00:12,028
Speaker 2: Welcome to Good Morning Football, presented by Old Trapper.

4
00:00:13,068 --> 00:00:14,548
Speaker 3: That's right, Welcome inside.

5
00:00:14,588 --> 00:00:16,748
Speaker 2: On a Thursday, we're gonna do a little throw down.

6
00:00:16,828 --> 00:00:19,468
Speaker 2: Feels different to say throwdown Thursday with Seth Freak and

7
00:00:19,548 --> 00:00:24,148
Speaker 2: rollins at the little Yet you are on the IR

8
00:00:24,308 --> 00:00:27,428
Speaker 2: from the circuit right now, how's your wing feeling?

9
00:00:27,708 --> 00:00:29,468
Speaker 4: We'll get it though it's out of the brace. Yes,

10
00:00:29,748 --> 00:00:32,228
Speaker 4: it's out of the braces. It can move it to

11
00:00:32,268 --> 00:00:33,148
Speaker 4: a point, to a point.

12
00:00:33,468 --> 00:00:35,548
Speaker 3: But can you throw anybody across the ring?

13
00:00:35,668 --> 00:00:35,868
Speaker 5: Yet?

14
00:00:36,028 --> 00:00:38,708
Speaker 4: Certainly cannot cannot climb a cage, cannot throw a body

15
00:00:38,708 --> 00:00:40,348
Speaker 4: across the ring, can't do anything like that.

16
00:00:40,388 --> 00:00:43,668
Speaker 6: But I can move it. Yes, great, this is progress

17
00:00:43,708 --> 00:00:43,908
Speaker 6: for me.

18
00:00:44,188 --> 00:00:47,068
Speaker 2: You can verbally throw someone across the GMFB table for

19
00:00:47,148 --> 00:00:47,988
Speaker 2: Throwdown Thursday?

20
00:00:48,148 --> 00:00:49,268
Speaker 3: Shall we crowd?

21
00:00:50,108 --> 00:00:50,508
Speaker 6: Let's go?

22
00:00:50,588 --> 00:00:50,788
Speaker 5: Man?

23
00:00:50,788 --> 00:00:54,508
Speaker 2: That was well timed. Cowboys Lions, Thursday Night Football. It's

24
00:00:54,548 --> 00:00:58,068
Speaker 2: happening tonight, big time game with big time implications. So

25
00:00:58,388 --> 00:01:02,068
Speaker 2: here's the scenario, the first one for throwdown Thursday. What

26
00:01:02,228 --> 00:01:05,748
Speaker 2: scenario is more likely to happen this hostseason? Did the

27
00:01:05,788 --> 00:01:10,068
Speaker 2: Cowboys end their longest active NFC Championship game appearance throughout

28
00:01:10,068 --> 00:01:13,588
Speaker 2: which last happened in nineteen ninety five, or Man Tai,

29
00:01:14,188 --> 00:01:17,028
Speaker 2: do the Lions make their first ever Super Bowl appearance?

30
00:01:18,068 --> 00:01:19,388
Speaker 7: Oh wow?

31
00:01:19,868 --> 00:01:22,188
Speaker 8: I would say, based on how these two teams are

32
00:01:22,228 --> 00:01:24,548
Speaker 8: playing currently, I would have to go it is more

33
00:01:24,708 --> 00:01:27,508
Speaker 8: likely that the Cowboys would attain that goal of making

34
00:01:27,508 --> 00:01:31,868
Speaker 8: it to the NFC Championship their offense George Pickens CD LAMB.

35
00:01:31,868 --> 00:01:33,868
Speaker 8: But more importantly, I want to focus on their defense,

36
00:01:33,868 --> 00:01:37,188
Speaker 8: what Clinton Williams that acquisition has done for them. They

37
00:01:37,188 --> 00:01:39,508
Speaker 8: are now the best rush defense in the NFL. The

38
00:01:39,508 --> 00:01:42,308
Speaker 8: past three weeks, they've had the second most QB hits

39
00:01:42,748 --> 00:01:45,788
Speaker 8: in the NFL, and they lead the NFL QB pressure.

40
00:01:45,868 --> 00:01:46,908
Speaker 7: So we already knew what we.

41
00:01:46,788 --> 00:01:49,308
Speaker 8: Were getting with the offense and Dak Prescott and that

42
00:01:49,308 --> 00:01:52,548
Speaker 8: whole regime. The biggest question and biggest source spot was

43
00:01:52,948 --> 00:01:53,668
Speaker 8: that defense.

44
00:01:53,908 --> 00:01:55,788
Speaker 7: In the past three weeks three weeks.

45
00:01:55,468 --> 00:01:58,828
Speaker 8: They've been possibly the best defense in performance. So I

46
00:01:58,828 --> 00:02:01,348
Speaker 8: would have to say, Jane, if I had to guess,

47
00:02:01,508 --> 00:02:02,788
Speaker 8: it would have to be something to do with the

48
00:02:03,188 --> 00:02:04,388
Speaker 8: Dallas Cowboys, Jason could.

49
00:02:04,908 --> 00:02:06,468
Speaker 9: Yeah, I'm gonna have to agree with you, Man Tai.

50
00:02:06,548 --> 00:02:09,468
Speaker 9: I think for me, it's really unfortunate. But towards the

51
00:02:09,588 --> 00:02:12,068
Speaker 9: end of these years, we've been looking at the Detroit

52
00:02:12,148 --> 00:02:15,108
Speaker 9: Lions and we've been talking about injuries. I'm a Ross

53
00:02:15,108 --> 00:02:19,988
Speaker 9: Saint Brown, Sam Laporta, Kirby, Joseph Terry On Arnold. So

54
00:02:20,108 --> 00:02:23,468
Speaker 9: it's it's unfortunate because they got a physical style of play,

55
00:02:23,788 --> 00:02:25,468
Speaker 9: but it just seems these last few years that it's

56
00:02:25,508 --> 00:02:28,348
Speaker 9: kind of been biting him in the butt towards the

57
00:02:28,508 --> 00:02:30,188
Speaker 9: end of these years, where we don't feel like we're

58
00:02:30,228 --> 00:02:33,308
Speaker 9: seeing fully healthy Lions teams at their full potential. For

59
00:02:33,388 --> 00:02:35,748
Speaker 9: that reason, plus, when you look at the remaining schedule,

60
00:02:35,868 --> 00:02:39,028
Speaker 9: you still talking about the Rams, Cowboys obviously tonight, as

61
00:02:39,028 --> 00:02:41,788
Speaker 9: well as the Bears, who are leading the NFC. It's

62
00:02:41,788 --> 00:02:43,148
Speaker 9: hard for me to see them go to the Super

63
00:02:43,148 --> 00:02:45,588
Speaker 9: Bowl knowing that they might only go three and two

64
00:02:45,948 --> 00:02:47,788
Speaker 9: in these next five games that they have to finish

65
00:02:47,828 --> 00:02:48,148
Speaker 9: the year.

66
00:02:48,308 --> 00:02:49,308
Speaker 10: I gotta go Dallas.

67
00:02:51,948 --> 00:02:57,748
Speaker 4: God, can we pick neither neither? Like neither of these

68
00:02:57,748 --> 00:03:00,188
Speaker 4: things are likely. I mean, I guess if one is

69
00:03:00,548 --> 00:03:05,508
Speaker 4: more less likely or going to be a wordsmith on

70
00:03:05,548 --> 00:03:07,948
Speaker 4: this one. I mean, look, at the end of the day,

71
00:03:08,388 --> 00:03:11,748
Speaker 4: the Cowboys are hot, but the Lions. I still think

72
00:03:11,788 --> 00:03:14,428
Speaker 4: are a better team. They're a better coach team. I

73
00:03:14,468 --> 00:03:16,828
Speaker 4: know they're not like playing the best right now, and

74
00:03:16,828 --> 00:03:19,908
Speaker 4: they're not like the sexy team on everybody's tongue at

75
00:03:19,908 --> 00:03:22,468
Speaker 4: the moment, but they still got Dan Campbell at the

76
00:03:22,508 --> 00:03:24,668
Speaker 4: helm right and they're still going to get the job

77
00:03:24,708 --> 00:03:25,748
Speaker 4: done if they need to.

78
00:03:26,068 --> 00:03:26,748
Speaker 6: I think they're going to.

79
00:03:26,748 --> 00:03:27,468
Speaker 10: Go to the Super Bowl.

80
00:03:28,428 --> 00:03:30,948
Speaker 4: No, but is it more likely than Dallas gets to

81
00:03:30,948 --> 00:03:33,628
Speaker 4: the NFC Championship? Yeah?

82
00:03:33,788 --> 00:03:36,108
Speaker 3: Probably not answer that.

83
00:03:36,188 --> 00:03:36,748
Speaker 5: I don't know.

84
00:03:37,508 --> 00:03:38,908
Speaker 6: I'll go with Detroit on that one.

85
00:03:38,948 --> 00:03:39,308
Speaker 7: I think.

86
00:03:39,468 --> 00:03:41,748
Speaker 4: I still think if they can like circle the wagons,

87
00:03:41,828 --> 00:03:42,988
Speaker 4: they can still get the job done.

88
00:03:42,988 --> 00:03:44,108
Speaker 6: I mean, they got the players there.

89
00:03:44,188 --> 00:03:47,228
Speaker 4: If everybody can somewhat get healthy, Dan Campbell might be

90
00:03:47,268 --> 00:03:49,308
Speaker 4: able to will this team to the super Bowl.

91
00:03:49,308 --> 00:03:52,108
Speaker 6: I don't know, maybe maybe maybe maybe.

92
00:03:52,548 --> 00:03:54,428
Speaker 5: Your energy for this question, I appreciate.

93
00:03:54,548 --> 00:03:56,988
Speaker 1: It's like it's like you're in a submission hol like

94
00:03:57,028 --> 00:03:58,868
Speaker 1: Brett Hart has you in the Sharp Shooter and you

95
00:03:58,948 --> 00:04:01,028
Speaker 1: just don't you don't want to tap, and the referees

96
00:04:01,068 --> 00:04:02,548
Speaker 1: checking in with you and you're like, no, no, no,

97
00:04:02,628 --> 00:04:04,068
Speaker 1: you just you're so uncomfortable.

98
00:04:04,188 --> 00:04:05,988
Speaker 5: I get it, man, I get it completely, you know,

99
00:04:06,028 --> 00:04:06,508
Speaker 5: what I'm saying.

100
00:04:07,268 --> 00:04:10,628
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't it's not good. It just doesn't Wait,

101
00:04:11,108 --> 00:04:13,668
Speaker 4: you're wrong either way, you're wrong, you know, Yeah, I

102
00:04:13,708 --> 00:04:14,508
Speaker 4: don't know.

103
00:04:14,388 --> 00:04:16,428
Speaker 2: You want to throw that guy over your shoulder and

104
00:04:16,468 --> 00:04:17,428
Speaker 2: just scream bear down.

105
00:04:17,468 --> 00:04:18,428
Speaker 6: I guess what I want.

106
00:04:18,548 --> 00:04:18,708
Speaker 11: Yeah.

107
00:04:18,788 --> 00:04:20,028
Speaker 12: Can we get to the Bears question?

108
00:04:21,468 --> 00:04:23,268
Speaker 10: Can we just talk about the Bears waiting?

109
00:04:23,988 --> 00:04:25,748
Speaker 5: Got well?

110
00:04:25,788 --> 00:04:29,028
Speaker 1: Listen, Bears, Bears played both those teams. They beat the Cowboys,

111
00:04:29,068 --> 00:04:30,988
Speaker 1: they got destroyed by the Lions. But that feels like

112
00:04:31,028 --> 00:04:32,828
Speaker 1: two years ago, and it feels like a different Bears

113
00:04:32,828 --> 00:04:35,828
Speaker 1: team and a different Lions team. Jamie, my answer is

114
00:04:35,868 --> 00:04:39,148
Speaker 1: the Lions here because I don't think and I'm gonna

115
00:04:39,148 --> 00:04:40,828
Speaker 1: be very disappointed if I'm right about that. I don't

116
00:04:40,828 --> 00:04:42,828
Speaker 1: think the Cowboys are gonna make the playoffs. And you

117
00:04:42,908 --> 00:04:45,188
Speaker 1: know why, Jamie, Look at the bottom of the screen,

118
00:04:45,788 --> 00:04:50,148
Speaker 1: six five and one, and that tie is going to

119
00:04:50,348 --> 00:04:53,228
Speaker 1: end up screwing them and maybe screwing the Packers too.

120
00:04:53,708 --> 00:04:58,108
Speaker 1: Ties always complicate the playoff scenario. If they were seven

121
00:04:58,148 --> 00:05:00,828
Speaker 1: and five right now, we're dancing, baby, But that's six

122
00:05:01,028 --> 00:05:03,588
Speaker 1: five and one, My favorite little one in the entire

123
00:05:03,668 --> 00:05:06,348
Speaker 1: world of New is going to keep the Cowboys out

124
00:05:06,388 --> 00:05:08,428
Speaker 1: of the playoffs, and it's going to be hilarious. So

125
00:05:08,508 --> 00:05:10,028
Speaker 1: I would say it's Detroit just by default.

126
00:05:10,188 --> 00:05:11,388
Speaker 3: You're a sick puppy, Kyle.

127
00:05:11,508 --> 00:05:15,228
Speaker 2: You just keep bringing up that tie anytime we have

128
00:05:15,308 --> 00:05:17,788
Speaker 2: a little lull and entertainment. Call's like, but what about

129
00:05:17,788 --> 00:05:21,908
Speaker 2: that tie in the NFC? Moving on and throw it

130
00:05:21,908 --> 00:05:25,468
Speaker 2: down Thursday Sunday the Bears will have there.

131
00:05:25,468 --> 00:05:27,588
Speaker 3: We go, good guys, Seth's like, bring it in for

132
00:05:27,668 --> 00:05:29,348
Speaker 3: the real thing, Bears Packers.

133
00:05:29,348 --> 00:05:32,028
Speaker 2: It's the two hundred and eleventh time these two teams

134
00:05:32,068 --> 00:05:34,428
Speaker 2: will play against each other, which includes the playoffs, actually

135
00:05:34,668 --> 00:05:37,268
Speaker 2: is the most in NFL history, which makes it a

136
00:05:37,308 --> 00:05:39,868
Speaker 2: classic and legendary matchup and rivalry.

137
00:05:40,148 --> 00:05:41,228
Speaker 3: In case you're wondering.

138
00:05:41,028 --> 00:05:44,268
Speaker 2: The Packers, the Packers do hold the all time series

139
00:05:44,348 --> 00:05:46,228
Speaker 2: lead one hundred and eight to ninety.

140
00:05:45,948 --> 00:05:46,788
Speaker 3: Six and six.

141
00:05:46,908 --> 00:05:49,828
Speaker 2: One Bay head coach Matt Lafour was asked his strategy

142
00:05:50,068 --> 00:05:52,988
Speaker 2: since he has to face Chicago twice now in the

143
00:05:53,028 --> 00:05:54,068
Speaker 2: next three weeks.

144
00:05:55,268 --> 00:05:58,908
Speaker 13: Well, you only show half your game plan, So no,

145
00:05:59,348 --> 00:06:02,268
Speaker 13: it's a unique deal. I don't think it's happened to

146
00:06:02,348 --> 00:06:07,108
Speaker 13: us very much. Oh. I think there's a little bit

147
00:06:07,108 --> 00:06:10,268
Speaker 13: of an unknown to that. But it is what it is.

148
00:06:10,308 --> 00:06:12,348
Speaker 13: Every week, it's a new week in this league, and

149
00:06:12,548 --> 00:06:15,428
Speaker 13: just know that there's going to be adjustments, just like

150
00:06:15,468 --> 00:06:19,108
Speaker 13: there's adjustments in game, and you get to try to

151
00:06:19,108 --> 00:06:21,028
Speaker 13: stay one step ahead of the competition.

152
00:06:22,028 --> 00:06:25,948
Speaker 2: He seems so passive, So chill at that podium. He's prepared,

153
00:06:26,068 --> 00:06:28,868
Speaker 2: but only going to show half his hand. Manti, Which

154
00:06:28,908 --> 00:06:30,988
Speaker 2: game plan will we be talking about.

155
00:06:30,748 --> 00:06:31,828
Speaker 3: More come Monday?

156
00:06:32,228 --> 00:06:33,908
Speaker 2: Is it the Bears than how they took down the

157
00:06:33,908 --> 00:06:35,708
Speaker 2: Packers or vice versa.

158
00:06:35,828 --> 00:06:38,548
Speaker 8: I'm going to go specifically with that man, the Packers

159
00:06:38,588 --> 00:06:39,748
Speaker 8: head coach, Matt Lafleur.

160
00:06:39,868 --> 00:06:41,188
Speaker 7: That's the game plan that we're going.

161
00:06:41,108 --> 00:06:44,228
Speaker 8: To be talking about, specifically on the offensive side of

162
00:06:44,228 --> 00:06:47,148
Speaker 8: the ball. If you watched last week when they played

163
00:06:47,188 --> 00:06:49,708
Speaker 8: the Lions, that was the most fourth down attempts that

164
00:06:49,748 --> 00:06:53,028
Speaker 8: Matt Lafleur has done in one game as a Packer

165
00:06:53,068 --> 00:06:55,508
Speaker 8: head coach, and that's the most that converted. There were

166
00:06:55,548 --> 00:06:57,828
Speaker 8: three for three on fourth down, two of them were

167
00:06:57,948 --> 00:07:00,788
Speaker 8: touchdowns and one of them was they sealed the game

168
00:07:01,548 --> 00:07:05,628
Speaker 8: to Wicks. You don't You cannot tell me that somebody

169
00:07:05,628 --> 00:07:08,548
Speaker 8: like Matt Laflour after what Ben Johnson said about him

170
00:07:08,628 --> 00:07:11,588
Speaker 8: and the record, and have him like really enjoying beating in.

171
00:07:11,588 --> 00:07:12,348
Speaker 7: The Packers twice.

172
00:07:12,428 --> 00:07:15,348
Speaker 8: Yere that this guy hasn't marked and circled this game.

173
00:07:15,508 --> 00:07:17,948
Speaker 7: Obviously this is a historically a big game.

174
00:07:18,308 --> 00:07:21,068
Speaker 8: But for those comments that Ben Johnson had to say

175
00:07:21,068 --> 00:07:24,268
Speaker 8: about him before the season began, I am going to

176
00:07:24,348 --> 00:07:26,668
Speaker 8: be locked into what Matt Laflour has to say and

177
00:07:26,708 --> 00:07:28,148
Speaker 8: what he calls and I think we're going to be

178
00:07:28,228 --> 00:07:30,148
Speaker 8: talking about that a lot on this show.

179
00:07:30,268 --> 00:07:31,548
Speaker 7: Jason combinda for me.

180
00:07:31,628 --> 00:07:33,508
Speaker 9: I mean, it's got to be Ben Johnson, right, Like

181
00:07:33,548 --> 00:07:35,148
Speaker 9: we heard what he said in the press conference.

182
00:07:35,148 --> 00:07:37,308
Speaker 10: He loves beating Matt Lafloor twice a year.

183
00:07:37,348 --> 00:07:39,828
Speaker 9: So that means all the tricks are coming out of

184
00:07:39,828 --> 00:07:42,388
Speaker 9: the sleeve, right, That's this is the game that the

185
00:07:42,468 --> 00:07:45,108
Speaker 9: tricks come out, right. I don't think anybody has had

186
00:07:45,108 --> 00:07:48,668
Speaker 9: the run of the trick plays that Ben Johnson's had

187
00:07:48,708 --> 00:07:50,828
Speaker 9: in the last few years, maybe other than Andy Reid

188
00:07:50,908 --> 00:07:52,988
Speaker 9: himself over the Kansas City Chiefs.

189
00:07:53,308 --> 00:07:55,188
Speaker 10: Ben Johnson right now is the master of it.

190
00:07:55,548 --> 00:07:59,988
Speaker 9: Flea flickers, reverse passes, late tight end leak outs. I mean,

191
00:08:00,068 --> 00:08:02,708
Speaker 9: it's exciting stuff. Look at this Caleb Williams of Philly

192
00:08:02,748 --> 00:08:05,668
Speaker 9: Special out in the end zone, this is stuff that's

193
00:08:05,668 --> 00:08:06,188
Speaker 9: fun to watch.

194
00:08:06,228 --> 00:08:08,988
Speaker 10: And I just got a really good feeling that Ben.

195
00:08:08,828 --> 00:08:11,908
Speaker 9: Johnson's gonna put his troll uniform on and he's gonna

196
00:08:11,948 --> 00:08:14,628
Speaker 9: do some stuff that makes Mattlifore really shake his head.

197
00:08:14,868 --> 00:08:17,068
Speaker 9: So let's see what Ben Dobbs gotta call. I think

198
00:08:17,068 --> 00:08:18,228
Speaker 9: it's gonna be an exciting game.

199
00:08:19,228 --> 00:08:23,828
Speaker 4: Ah, finally the time has come we can talk about

200
00:08:23,868 --> 00:08:25,708
Speaker 4: the Bears and cooks thing.

201
00:08:25,948 --> 00:08:26,468
Speaker 10: Guys.

202
00:08:27,028 --> 00:08:30,268
Speaker 4: Everybody's talking about the Bears. Everybody's talking about the Bears,

203
00:08:30,268 --> 00:08:33,628
Speaker 4: nobody's talking about the Packers. And come Monday, after the

204
00:08:33,668 --> 00:08:38,148
Speaker 4: Bears stop the Packers at lambeau Field, everybody's gonna be

205
00:08:38,188 --> 00:08:41,948
Speaker 4: talking about the Bears. Everybody's gonna be talking about Ben Johnson,

206
00:08:42,228 --> 00:08:44,588
Speaker 4: Caleb Williams. The Bears are the sexy team in the

207
00:08:44,668 --> 00:08:48,068
Speaker 4: NFL right now, and I love it. Jump on the wagon, guys.

208
00:08:48,268 --> 00:08:48,628
Speaker 6: Come on.

209
00:08:48,668 --> 00:08:51,108
Speaker 4: And here's the thing. If the Bears somehow lose here,

210
00:08:51,428 --> 00:08:53,188
Speaker 4: I don't think they will. I think they're gonna win.

211
00:08:53,548 --> 00:08:55,508
Speaker 4: But if they lose, we're still gonna be talking about

212
00:08:55,508 --> 00:08:57,388
Speaker 4: the Bears because everybody in the media loves to pile

213
00:08:57,428 --> 00:08:59,548
Speaker 4: on the Bears all They're not the team we thought

214
00:08:59,588 --> 00:09:02,508
Speaker 4: they were this and that. But I feel very strongly

215
00:09:02,588 --> 00:09:05,468
Speaker 4: coming out of this game either way. When we talk

216
00:09:05,508 --> 00:09:07,028
Speaker 4: about the Bears, let me talk about the Bears for

217
00:09:07,068 --> 00:09:09,708
Speaker 4: the rest of the season because it's a Bears yer. Baby,

218
00:09:09,828 --> 00:09:11,468
Speaker 4: let's go. I feel good about it.

219
00:09:11,508 --> 00:09:11,988
Speaker 6: I feel good.

220
00:09:12,188 --> 00:09:14,508
Speaker 4: No, there's no way we're talking about Lafleur, right, come on,

221
00:09:14,588 --> 00:09:17,988
Speaker 4: you got to talk about Ben Johnson Trick plays Chicago Bears.

222
00:09:18,068 --> 00:09:18,468
Speaker 6: I love it.

223
00:09:18,508 --> 00:09:21,068
Speaker 4: I'm so excited. I cannot wait for Sunday. Can we

224
00:09:21,068 --> 00:09:23,788
Speaker 4: get to it now? We'll skip it Friday Saturday. Just

225
00:09:24,068 --> 00:09:26,468
Speaker 4: let's just go to Sunday, Kyle, Let's just get to it. Man,

226
00:09:26,508 --> 00:09:27,508
Speaker 4: come on, let's just go.

227
00:09:28,228 --> 00:09:30,428
Speaker 1: I feel good that you feel good, Seth. I completely

228
00:09:30,428 --> 00:09:33,268
Speaker 1: pick up your vibe and I agree with you. Bears

229
00:09:33,308 --> 00:09:35,828
Speaker 1: when they're all the talk, Bears lose, they're all the talk.

230
00:09:35,868 --> 00:09:36,908
Speaker 5: I don't know if the Bears are.

231
00:09:36,788 --> 00:09:38,548
Speaker 1: Better than the Packers, but the Bears right now are

232
00:09:38,548 --> 00:09:40,788
Speaker 1: more interesting than the Packers. It's not a slight, it's

233
00:09:40,868 --> 00:09:44,468
Speaker 1: just that everything's new and improving. Caleb, Ben like, we

234
00:09:44,548 --> 00:09:46,188
Speaker 1: kind of know where the deals with the Packers, they're

235
00:09:46,188 --> 00:09:49,868
Speaker 1: always good. I would also say this to Cobenda's point,

236
00:09:50,428 --> 00:09:53,468
Speaker 1: idle hands of the Devil's workshop in terms of Ben

237
00:09:53,548 --> 00:09:58,188
Speaker 1: Johnson ingenuity, creativity. Remember nine days he has had to

238
00:09:58,188 --> 00:09:59,748
Speaker 1: sit around. They have been playing a long time. It

239
00:09:59,788 --> 00:10:01,508
Speaker 1: feels like a long time ago. They were in the

240
00:10:01,508 --> 00:10:04,308
Speaker 1: link and beating the Eagles. If you have idle time,

241
00:10:04,428 --> 00:10:07,148
Speaker 1: if you have extra time, you might use that time

242
00:10:07,188 --> 00:10:09,908
Speaker 1: to be maybe a little deeper in your bag of

243
00:10:10,068 --> 00:10:14,388
Speaker 1: ingenuity or creativity, or if you were saving something like

244
00:10:14,428 --> 00:10:16,868
Speaker 1: he has done before in past years with the Lions

245
00:10:16,908 --> 00:10:19,228
Speaker 1: and those big spots, they break out the crazy stuff.

246
00:10:19,788 --> 00:10:21,468
Speaker 5: I can see on look at that maniac. I mean,

247
00:10:21,508 --> 00:10:24,108
Speaker 5: what is that shot? What is he even doing? Oh

248
00:10:24,148 --> 00:10:26,148
Speaker 5: my gosh, he is so unusual.

249
00:10:26,588 --> 00:10:26,788
Speaker 10: You know.

250
00:10:26,788 --> 00:10:30,068
Speaker 1: One of the things I'll just outside bar this James.

251
00:10:30,548 --> 00:10:32,148
Speaker 1: I was with Caleb a couple of days ago. We

252
00:10:32,148 --> 00:10:34,908
Speaker 1: talked a lot about what Ben Johnson's like on game day,

253
00:10:35,188 --> 00:10:38,148
Speaker 1: just in his ear in the pregame during the game,

254
00:10:38,668 --> 00:10:42,108
Speaker 1: and he kept saying that, really nobody talks to Ben

255
00:10:42,188 --> 00:10:45,228
Speaker 1: Johnson during the games, And I'm like, what is the

256
00:10:45,228 --> 00:10:47,148
Speaker 1: head coach. He's like, well, you know, he confers with

257
00:10:47,188 --> 00:10:49,668
Speaker 1: his assistance, but like, we don't go talk to him.

258
00:10:50,028 --> 00:10:51,868
Speaker 1: He goes in his mode. And I was like, well,

259
00:10:51,908 --> 00:10:55,828
Speaker 1: what's his mode. He's like, it's complicated. He has a mode.

260
00:10:56,068 --> 00:10:57,788
Speaker 1: Like I need to know about the mode. He's like,

261
00:10:57,828 --> 00:11:00,628
Speaker 1: there's different levels of the mode. Sometimes he says crazy

262
00:11:00,628 --> 00:11:02,748
Speaker 1: stuff in my ear, like it's.

263
00:11:02,268 --> 00:11:03,188
Speaker 5: All over the maps.

264
00:11:03,268 --> 00:11:06,468
Speaker 1: So I think the mode for Dan Campbell and never

265
00:11:06,708 --> 00:11:09,588
Speaker 1: Ben Johnson, Dan Campbell's farmer as system. Going to Lambo

266
00:11:09,628 --> 00:11:11,468
Speaker 1: as the head coach for the first time is going

267
00:11:11,468 --> 00:11:13,148
Speaker 1: to be at a fifty out of ten. See that's

268
00:11:13,188 --> 00:11:15,068
Speaker 1: the mode right there. That's you're going to get a

269
00:11:15,068 --> 00:11:18,188
Speaker 1: lot of in Lambeau. So Seth is right, Bears when

270
00:11:18,748 --> 00:11:21,068
Speaker 1: they're ten and three, we talk about him. Bears lose

271
00:11:21,188 --> 00:11:23,108
Speaker 1: better believe we're going to be talking about him because

272
00:11:23,108 --> 00:11:24,988
Speaker 1: you called the packers out and you went to Lambo

273
00:11:25,028 --> 00:11:26,348
Speaker 1: and lost cale.

274
00:11:26,428 --> 00:11:28,668
Speaker 2: You know that phrase, the call is coming from inside

275
00:11:28,668 --> 00:11:29,108
Speaker 2: the house.

276
00:11:30,188 --> 00:11:30,388
Speaker 7: Yep.

277
00:11:30,948 --> 00:11:32,988
Speaker 3: So I just realized.

278
00:11:32,588 --> 00:11:36,508
Speaker 2: Something in your explanation of Caleb said about Ben Johnson

279
00:11:36,548 --> 00:11:38,308
Speaker 2: and how he goes into that mode and you're fascinated

280
00:11:38,308 --> 00:11:41,668
Speaker 2: about the mode. You do realize that that's literally how

281
00:11:41,708 --> 00:11:44,108
Speaker 2: everybody feels that works on this production. When you go

282
00:11:44,228 --> 00:11:46,788
Speaker 2: into the mode for angry runs, like you're literally Ben

283
00:11:46,908 --> 00:11:48,708
Speaker 2: Johnson on Tuesdays like.

284
00:11:48,948 --> 00:11:50,988
Speaker 3: You do the crazy inhale thing.

285
00:11:51,108 --> 00:11:53,308
Speaker 2: You do the thing where no one really talks to

286
00:11:53,348 --> 00:11:54,828
Speaker 2: you before angry runs.

287
00:11:54,868 --> 00:11:57,268
Speaker 3: You do that thing where like you are to.

288
00:11:57,228 --> 00:12:01,308
Speaker 2: Be unbothered and untouched before you are preparing for your performance.

289
00:12:01,468 --> 00:12:03,868
Speaker 3: Then you're in the mode don't talk to him, don't

290
00:12:03,908 --> 00:12:05,388
Speaker 3: be in his z and then you're out of it.

291
00:12:05,428 --> 00:12:07,468
Speaker 2: You're like, okay, cool, like you're approachable again. But like

292
00:12:07,508 --> 00:12:09,668
Speaker 2: that was like weird and dark at times, So like

293
00:12:10,068 --> 00:12:11,068
Speaker 2: that's the parallel.

294
00:12:11,108 --> 00:12:12,308
Speaker 3: I can't believe you haven't.

295
00:12:12,068 --> 00:12:15,388
Speaker 5: Seen it until now, Jamie. Thank you for saying that.

296
00:12:15,508 --> 00:12:16,708
Speaker 5: Let me just do my mode thing right here.

297
00:12:16,708 --> 00:12:18,588
Speaker 1: That thing you mentioned about the calls coming from inside

298
00:12:18,588 --> 00:12:20,828
Speaker 1: the house, it's from a movie called Black Christmas in

299
00:12:20,908 --> 00:12:23,148
Speaker 1: nineteen seventy four. Most people don't know that it's a

300
00:12:23,228 --> 00:12:26,108
Speaker 1: Christmas scary movie from the seventies, and that's where that

301
00:12:26,148 --> 00:12:29,108
Speaker 1: meme comes from. So kids, Black Christmas nineteen seventy four.

302
00:12:29,828 --> 00:12:30,628
Speaker 5: How wow?

303
00:12:30,788 --> 00:12:33,148
Speaker 3: Who's in it? Kyle who won the Oscar that year

304
00:12:33,268 --> 00:12:33,628
Speaker 3: for Beza?

305
00:12:33,828 --> 00:12:35,388
Speaker 1: I mean, if I mean honest, it sounds like it's

306
00:12:35,428 --> 00:12:37,028
Speaker 1: a Tyler Perry movie, but I don't think it is.

307
00:12:37,428 --> 00:12:39,708
Speaker 1: It's a different type of deal. I have never seen

308
00:12:39,708 --> 00:12:41,668
Speaker 1: it before. I just know that it comes from that movie.

309
00:12:42,668 --> 00:12:45,188
Speaker 2: That's your response to the fact that you are Ben Johnson,

310
00:12:45,188 --> 00:12:46,308
Speaker 2: and Ben Johnson is you.

311
00:12:46,308 --> 00:12:47,948
Speaker 3: You're not gonna have any take in the fact.

312
00:12:47,788 --> 00:12:49,348
Speaker 5: That you get that out there. People don't know about

313
00:12:49,348 --> 00:12:50,108
Speaker 5: Black Christmas.

314
00:12:50,188 --> 00:12:53,388
Speaker 9: And all I know is Caleb Williams is not lying whatsoever.

315
00:12:53,508 --> 00:12:57,268
Speaker 9: Because when we had been in Detroit in offensive coordinator mode,

316
00:12:57,388 --> 00:13:02,068
Speaker 9: this dude like Albert Einstein mixing chemicals and mixing.

317
00:13:01,628 --> 00:13:03,948
Speaker 10: All kinds of things and the experiment doesn't go right.

318
00:13:04,188 --> 00:13:05,588
Speaker 10: Nobody wanted to talk to him.

319
00:13:05,628 --> 00:13:08,948
Speaker 9: So I cannot imagine Ben Johnson in his head coaching

320
00:13:09,028 --> 00:13:09,508
Speaker 9: era the.

321
00:13:09,468 --> 00:13:11,788
Speaker 10: Type of aura he has on the sideline.

322
00:13:12,108 --> 00:13:13,988
Speaker 1: I highly doubt anybody who have been that remind me

323
00:13:14,668 --> 00:13:15,588
Speaker 1: was was Ben Johnson?

324
00:13:15,668 --> 00:13:16,788
Speaker 5: Was the sideline coordinator in.

325
00:13:16,788 --> 00:13:19,588
Speaker 10: The booth, Ben Ben yeh Ben did it both.

326
00:13:19,748 --> 00:13:21,508
Speaker 5: Okay, he did both when he was on the sideline.

327
00:13:21,548 --> 00:13:23,308
Speaker 9: What was he like when he was on the sideline,

328
00:13:23,348 --> 00:13:25,628
Speaker 9: Like I said, it's play sheet and no one is

329
00:13:25,668 --> 00:13:27,788
Speaker 9: near him, right right right, He's got like this five

330
00:13:27,988 --> 00:13:32,028
Speaker 9: meter like force field. Nobody's allowed to step inside. That's

331
00:13:32,108 --> 00:13:35,228
Speaker 9: literally how Ben Johnson. It's like it's I'm telling up.

332
00:13:35,708 --> 00:13:37,828
Speaker 10: That's strange type type energy.

333
00:13:37,868 --> 00:13:40,508
Speaker 8: So why wouldn't he just stay up inside the press box,

334
00:13:40,828 --> 00:13:41,388
Speaker 8: you know what I mean?

335
00:13:41,468 --> 00:13:42,308
Speaker 7: And called it from there?

336
00:13:42,388 --> 00:13:45,748
Speaker 8: Did he Did he come down because Dan brought him down?

337
00:13:45,788 --> 00:13:46,428
Speaker 10: Or what would that?

338
00:13:46,468 --> 00:13:47,868
Speaker 8: Because if he didn't want to be talked to, I

339
00:13:48,268 --> 00:13:51,388
Speaker 8: figured it'd make more sense up in the press box, like.

340
00:13:51,508 --> 00:13:52,028
Speaker 5: Are on the jam.

341
00:13:52,028 --> 00:13:53,628
Speaker 9: I mean, we tried different things. But the thing with

342
00:13:53,668 --> 00:13:55,348
Speaker 9: Ben is like he's going to talk to you. If

343
00:13:55,348 --> 00:13:57,908
Speaker 9: something's fed up, that's when that's when Ben's gonna talk.

344
00:13:58,228 --> 00:14:01,028
Speaker 9: And obviously the language is going to be a bit colorful.

345
00:14:01,068 --> 00:14:03,108
Speaker 9: You might see his eyes get all big and wide,

346
00:14:03,188 --> 00:14:05,268
Speaker 9: like you got sign that shot. When you see him

347
00:14:05,268 --> 00:14:07,068
Speaker 9: in a mode, man, you just take the criticism and

348
00:14:07,108 --> 00:14:07,708
Speaker 9: you walk away.

349
00:14:07,748 --> 00:14:09,908
Speaker 10: Thank you, Coach. I got to coach Boom move on.

350
00:14:10,948 --> 00:14:15,188
Speaker 3: Literally, Kyle on Tuesdays, I can't get over this. I can't.

351
00:14:15,548 --> 00:14:18,268
Speaker 4: And we've all got our modes, Jamie man, guy has

Speaker 2: Man, moving on, here we go.

00:14:29,108 --> 00:14:32,388
Speaker 3: Mode looks like, yeah, we do we do this. Everybody's

00:14:32,428 --> 00:14:33,108

00:14:33,108 --> 00:14:33,588
Speaker 5: I'm excited.

358
00:14:33,628 --> 00:14:35,708
Speaker 2: Final topic of throw It on Thursday. Hall of Famers

359
00:14:35,708 --> 00:14:37,068
Speaker 2: Barry Sanders and Emmitt.

360
00:14:36,788 --> 00:14:38,988
Speaker 3: Smith oh, two of the best, two of.

361
00:14:38,948 --> 00:14:41,268
Speaker 2: The greatest to do it at the running back position.

362
00:14:40,908 --> 00:14:41,508
Speaker 3: Of all time.

363
00:14:41,588 --> 00:14:43,908
Speaker 2: We'll likely have eyes on likely they're gonna have eyes

364
00:14:43,948 --> 00:14:45,708
Speaker 2: on tonight's game if you the Cowboys and the Lions.

365
00:14:45,708 --> 00:14:48,108
Speaker 3: So in honor of this matchup.

366
00:14:48,148 --> 00:14:52,388
Speaker 2: You must decide what man's I more iconic career.

367
00:14:52,988 --> 00:14:58,468
Speaker 1: Very sad Smith to you, guys are really trying to

368
00:14:58,468 --> 00:15:00,508
Speaker 1: make it extremely difficult, Okay, I would say.

369
00:15:00,628 --> 00:15:02,588
Speaker 8: I'll say my sophomore year in high school, I went

370
00:15:02,628 --> 00:15:04,988
Speaker 8: to this football camp and Chris Peterson, who was the

371
00:15:04,988 --> 00:15:06,708
Speaker 8: Boyser state head coach at that time.

372
00:15:06,628 --> 00:15:08,028
Speaker 7: Was talking to the campers.

373
00:15:08,148 --> 00:15:10,268
Speaker 8: I was one of them, and he said, if you

374
00:15:10,308 --> 00:15:13,468
Speaker 8: want to be great, you have to do common things

375
00:15:13,508 --> 00:15:16,188
Speaker 8: and uncommon ways. And if I had to look at

376
00:15:16,228 --> 00:15:19,468
Speaker 8: both of these Hall of famers, the running style that

377
00:15:19,588 --> 00:15:21,948
Speaker 8: was uncommon to me was Barry Centers. The way that

378
00:15:22,028 --> 00:15:25,028
Speaker 8: he was able to run through and just juke people out,

379
00:15:25,468 --> 00:15:29,628
Speaker 8: change directions immediately, his size.

380
00:15:30,268 --> 00:15:32,788
Speaker 7: And yet he couldn't bring the man down his speed.

381
00:15:33,108 --> 00:15:35,028
Speaker 8: There was just so much to Barry Sanders when you

382
00:15:35,068 --> 00:15:38,188
Speaker 8: watch him. He had an elite contact balance and he.

383
00:15:38,108 --> 00:15:40,028
Speaker 5: Had he had everything.

384
00:15:40,028 --> 00:15:42,068
Speaker 8: He had all the gifts and breakaway speed.

385
00:15:42,148 --> 00:15:44,268
Speaker 10: So the guy who was most.

386
00:15:44,188 --> 00:15:47,948
Speaker 8: Uncommon to me, guys, is difficult would have to be

387
00:15:48,068 --> 00:15:50,708
Speaker 8: Barry Sanders for the Detroit Lions chase of the window.

388
00:15:52,268 --> 00:15:52,548
Speaker 10: Look.

389
00:15:52,708 --> 00:15:56,068
Speaker 9: I love Emmitt Smith. I love you know, his running

390
00:15:56,068 --> 00:15:58,228
Speaker 9: stop field. I feel if we said, if we said

391
00:15:58,268 --> 00:16:00,828
Speaker 9: Barry Sanders and Bo Jackson, I would have closed my

392
00:16:00,908 --> 00:16:02,668
Speaker 9: eyes because I wouldn't want to ask you. But we're

393
00:16:02,668 --> 00:16:05,228
Speaker 9: talking about Barry Sanders and Emma Smith. Like Barry was

394
00:16:05,308 --> 00:16:07,588
Speaker 9: able to juke people out with his freaking mind.

395
00:16:07,868 --> 00:16:09,108
Speaker 10: He didn't even would time.

396
00:16:09,548 --> 00:16:11,348
Speaker 9: Just look like you just look at somebody and the

397
00:16:11,388 --> 00:16:12,308
Speaker 9: angle's just broke.

398
00:16:12,588 --> 00:16:15,468
Speaker 10: Like that is how crazy his money style was.

399
00:16:15,748 --> 00:16:18,428
Speaker 9: He could position his feet in any types of angles

400
00:16:18,468 --> 00:16:19,308
Speaker 9: to make his body go.

401
00:16:19,348 --> 00:16:21,068
Speaker 10: In whatever direction was necessary.

402
00:16:21,348 --> 00:16:23,388
Speaker 9: And then not only that, he hangs it up when

403
00:16:23,428 --> 00:16:25,188
Speaker 9: he's still in his prime, when he still could have

404
00:16:25,228 --> 00:16:28,348
Speaker 9: given us more like that. Calvin Johnson, like Phil, we

405
00:16:28,468 --> 00:16:29,148
Speaker 9: just wish.

406
00:16:29,148 --> 00:16:31,028
Speaker 10: We could have had more of Barry, and he was just.

407
00:16:31,068 --> 00:16:33,548
Speaker 9: Like, ah, I'm done, I conquered this thing. I'm kind

408
00:16:33,548 --> 00:16:35,828
Speaker 9: of over it. I'll just retire and just you know,

409
00:16:35,988 --> 00:16:37,788
Speaker 9: be my humble self. Because if any of you guys

410
00:16:37,988 --> 00:16:41,628
Speaker 9: have ever met Barry Sanders in person. He's a ten

411
00:16:41,708 --> 00:16:44,028
Speaker 9: on the field and like a one and a half

412
00:16:44,148 --> 00:16:47,148
Speaker 9: off of it. He's very, very calm, chill what you

413
00:16:47,188 --> 00:16:49,388
Speaker 9: would expect you like, Eon is a ten and a ten.

414
00:16:49,668 --> 00:16:50,828
Speaker 5: Yeah, Barry as much different.

415
00:16:50,828 --> 00:16:52,348
Speaker 10: Do you think Barry would get in front of you

416
00:16:52,388 --> 00:16:52,668
Speaker 10: and just.

417
00:16:52,708 --> 00:16:55,228
Speaker 9: Like automatically do a backflip because he's just that acrobatic

418
00:16:55,308 --> 00:16:55,788
Speaker 9: and excited.

419
00:16:55,828 --> 00:16:58,228
Speaker 10: But he's the most chill dude. Loved Barry, super humble.

420
00:16:58,228 --> 00:16:59,308
Speaker 10: I gotta go Barry Sanderson.

421
00:17:00,188 --> 00:17:02,468
Speaker 4: Oh man, this is a tough one because I love Barry.

422
00:17:02,828 --> 00:17:05,108
Speaker 4: I love Barry. Barry's to go, you know what I mean?

423
00:17:05,148 --> 00:17:07,188
Speaker 4: And I think if this was like a who's your

424
00:17:07,188 --> 00:17:09,468
Speaker 4: favorite running back? Between these two, who do you rather

425
00:17:09,548 --> 00:17:11,588
Speaker 4: want to watch him Sunday afternoon.

426
00:17:11,268 --> 00:17:12,188
Speaker 6: I'd go Barry.

427
00:17:12,468 --> 00:17:16,828
Speaker 4: But the question is who has had the more iconic career.

428
00:17:17,308 --> 00:17:20,988
Speaker 4: That's a good cast that I've got to lean towards Emmett.

429
00:17:21,508 --> 00:17:23,908
Speaker 4: Now I'll jump on what you said, man, talk about

430
00:17:23,948 --> 00:17:27,108
Speaker 4: you know, doing common things uncommonly. Well, I think Emmott

431
00:17:27,148 --> 00:17:30,628
Speaker 4: Smith is actually the picture of that because he is

432
00:17:30,788 --> 00:17:33,588
Speaker 4: a He's not Barry Sanders, He's not the sexy guy

433
00:17:33,628 --> 00:17:35,188
Speaker 4: that's gonna make all these jump cuts.

434
00:17:34,948 --> 00:17:35,948
Speaker 6: And makes everybody miss.

435
00:17:36,068 --> 00:17:38,588
Speaker 4: He's gonna be patient, he's gonna find his gap, he's

436
00:17:38,628 --> 00:17:41,548
Speaker 4: gonna follow his blockers, and he's gonna get you yards

437
00:17:41,628 --> 00:17:44,508
Speaker 4: every single carry. No matter what, he's gonna push forward

438
00:17:44,508 --> 00:17:47,428
Speaker 4: and get those yards. And you see that number one

439
00:17:47,628 --> 00:17:51,908
Speaker 4: all time leading rusher in NFL history, three super Bowls.

440
00:17:52,068 --> 00:17:55,788
Speaker 4: I mean, it's hard to find a more iconic career

441
00:17:56,228 --> 00:17:58,668
Speaker 4: than that of the one Emmitt Smith.

442
00:18:00,028 --> 00:18:01,628
Speaker 1: It's a very good answer, Seth. And this is one

443
00:18:01,668 --> 00:18:03,588
Speaker 1: of these times that I'm just so grateful that I

444
00:18:03,628 --> 00:18:05,548
Speaker 1: have this job. I used to have this debate with

445
00:18:05,588 --> 00:18:07,308
Speaker 1: my friends when I was in eighth grade, just sitting

446
00:18:07,348 --> 00:18:08,988
Speaker 1: around riding our bikes, and the fact that I get

447
00:18:08,988 --> 00:18:10,508
Speaker 1: to do it now is incredible.

448
00:18:11,508 --> 00:18:11,788
Speaker 10: Seth.

449
00:18:11,948 --> 00:18:13,468
Speaker 5: You make a great point about Emmett.

450
00:18:13,588 --> 00:18:16,028
Speaker 1: I think, if I'm going to pars into the semantics

451
00:18:16,028 --> 00:18:19,348
Speaker 1: about it, is that Emmett's legacy is really usually defined

452
00:18:19,388 --> 00:18:21,228
Speaker 1: with he and two of their guys. They were actually

453
00:18:21,268 --> 00:18:24,388
Speaker 1: called the triplets, and some of that iconography he has

454
00:18:24,468 --> 00:18:26,588
Speaker 1: to share with Emmitt Smith and Treikman.

455
00:18:27,028 --> 00:18:29,548
Speaker 5: The answer here is Barry Emmett.

456
00:18:29,228 --> 00:18:32,308
Speaker 1: Smith was a fantastic beast of a running back and

457
00:18:32,348 --> 00:18:32,868
Speaker 1: a legend.

458
00:18:33,668 --> 00:18:37,788
Speaker 5: Barry was like an avenger, or like Poseidon or Zeus

459
00:18:37,908 --> 00:18:39,108
Speaker 5: or something like. You didn't even know if he was

460
00:18:39,108 --> 00:18:39,788
Speaker 5: a human being.

461
00:18:40,148 --> 00:18:43,268
Speaker 1: My favorite statistical quirk about Barry is that every single

462
00:18:43,388 --> 00:18:45,948
Speaker 1: year of his career he led the NFL and runs

463
00:18:45,988 --> 00:18:48,548
Speaker 1: him over twenty yards. He also led the NFL and

464
00:18:48,628 --> 00:18:51,388
Speaker 1: runs for losses a lot of that's the time Barry

465
00:18:51,428 --> 00:18:53,748
Speaker 1: would run back and forth six times and lose nine yards.

466
00:18:54,028 --> 00:18:56,988
Speaker 1: But it was a hell of an adventure every single time.

467
00:18:57,508 --> 00:19:00,868
Speaker 1: He was magical, he was mystical, and he was doing

468
00:19:00,868 --> 00:19:04,988
Speaker 1: it often on Terrible Lions teams while I'm at Smith

469
00:19:05,068 --> 00:19:08,268
Speaker 1: was in the full Jerry Jones post herschel Walker war chest.

470
00:19:08,268 --> 00:19:09,508
Speaker 5: And destroying everybody.

471
00:19:09,788 --> 00:19:12,748
Speaker 1: That made Barry cooler, and You're like, wow, that's the

472
00:19:12,748 --> 00:19:14,628
Speaker 1: most exciting athlete I've ever seen in my life. He

473
00:19:14,668 --> 00:19:16,868
Speaker 1: just ran ninety one yards against the Bears, and then

474
00:19:16,908 --> 00:19:18,348
Speaker 1: he gets to the end zone, drops the ball, and

475
00:19:18,348 --> 00:19:21,868
Speaker 1: trots to the sideline. It was just so special, so magical,

476
00:19:22,268 --> 00:19:23,348
Speaker 1: and every single.

477
00:19:23,108 --> 00:19:24,748
Speaker 5: Time he got the ball, you would stop.

478
00:19:24,508 --> 00:19:26,908
Speaker 1: Talking and wait till the run was over, which sometime

479
00:19:27,068 --> 00:19:28,228
Speaker 1: was like thirty seconds later.

480
00:19:28,668 --> 00:19:30,668
Speaker 2: I always love the old clips where he's just out

481
00:19:30,708 --> 00:19:34,828
Speaker 2: pacing the official too, like Verry's like, excuse me, excuse me, sir.

482
00:19:34,948 --> 00:19:38,028
Speaker 2: I know anybody who just want to keep just fawning

483
00:19:38,068 --> 00:19:40,348
Speaker 2: over Barry Sanders higlights because you got like another eighty

484
00:19:40,348 --> 00:19:41,468
Speaker 2: seconds to this from films.

485
00:19:41,628 --> 00:19:42,668
Speaker 5: We wanted to keep going.

486
00:19:42,788 --> 00:19:45,268
Speaker 8: Well, you know, earlier on the show, Kabinda talked about

487
00:19:45,548 --> 00:19:49,348
Speaker 8: Lebron and when Lebron was by himself solo in Cleveland,

488
00:19:49,428 --> 00:19:51,548
Speaker 8: like if there was anybody that embodied that to me

489
00:19:51,628 --> 00:19:53,428
Speaker 8: on the team have to be bear centers. When he

490
00:19:53,468 --> 00:19:56,708
Speaker 8: was at Detroit, like it was just Barry and you

491
00:19:56,748 --> 00:19:59,348
Speaker 8: see all of the like I don't know any running

492
00:19:59,388 --> 00:20:02,028
Speaker 8: back that had to break as many tackles as he

493
00:20:02,068 --> 00:20:05,108
Speaker 8: did right in one play, Like there's no one highlight

494
00:20:05,148 --> 00:20:06,788
Speaker 8: that I watched him here Jamie where he just breaks

495
00:20:06,828 --> 00:20:08,308
Speaker 8: one tackle, scores a touchdown.

496
00:20:07,988 --> 00:20:08,268
Speaker 5: Come plan.

497
00:20:08,348 --> 00:20:11,588
Speaker 8: He's breaking multiple tackles, So that goes to show not

498
00:20:11,628 --> 00:20:14,588
Speaker 8: only how dynamic he is, but look at one, there's

499
00:20:14,628 --> 00:20:17,788
Speaker 8: two and he continues to run Like that's the amount

500
00:20:17,828 --> 00:20:21,108
Speaker 8: of support that he had right on this team compared

501
00:20:21,108 --> 00:20:21,828
Speaker 8: to what others had.

502
00:20:21,868 --> 00:20:24,228
Speaker 7: I think that I think the dot is always going

503
00:20:24,268 --> 00:20:24,788
Speaker 7: to go to Barry.

504
00:20:25,868 --> 00:20:27,948
Speaker 5: I don't want to disrespect Eman. I love him. Emm,

505
00:20:27,948 --> 00:20:28,468
Speaker 5: it's my guy.

506
00:20:28,508 --> 00:20:30,628
Speaker 1: But we used to always say when we were kids,

507
00:20:31,308 --> 00:20:34,148
Speaker 1: if you took Barry Sanders and you put him on

508
00:20:34,268 --> 00:20:37,708
Speaker 1: the Cowboys behind Larry Allen and all those linemen and

509
00:20:37,828 --> 00:20:38,988
Speaker 1: Droyikman and Michael Irvin.

510
00:20:39,028 --> 00:20:39,588
Speaker 10: I'm not joking.

511
00:20:39,668 --> 00:20:42,188
Speaker 1: Matt exaggerating he would had a twenty five hundred yard season.

512
00:20:42,348 --> 00:20:45,668
Speaker 1: It's like it would have been astronomical. It wasn't that way,

513
00:20:45,748 --> 00:20:47,348
Speaker 1: and now we're just making up magic scenarios.

514
00:20:47,348 --> 00:20:48,428
Speaker 5: But that's the power of bear.

515
00:20:49,508 --> 00:20:50,828
Speaker 3: That is a power. Very well done.

516
00:20:50,868 --> 00:20:53,348
Speaker 2: Everybody throw down Thursday three topics, and to put a

517
00:20:53,388 --> 00:20:57,468
Speaker 2: bow on the aforementioned Black Christmas nineteen seventy four. I

518
00:20:57,468 --> 00:20:59,668
Speaker 2: don't want to say this over a beautiful highlights. I

519
00:20:59,708 --> 00:21:03,748
Speaker 2: just want to make sure we understand Black Christmas as

520
00:21:03,788 --> 00:21:06,068
Speaker 2: it is explos Where did they just go? It's a

521
00:21:06,148 --> 00:21:10,108
Speaker 2: rare slasher with enough intelligence to wind up the tension

522
00:21:10,188 --> 00:21:15,388
Speaker 2: between bloody outbursts. Black Christmas offers fiendishly enjoyable holiday.

523
00:21:15,028 --> 00:21:16,788
Speaker 3: Viewing for all genre fans.

524
00:21:17,108 --> 00:21:20,108
Speaker 2: Kind of sounds like the great Week fourteen slate to me, everybody,

525
00:21:20,388 --> 00:21:24,908
Speaker 2: Black Christmas from nineteen seventy four, it's Ben Johnson, it's

526
00:21:24,988 --> 00:21:29,068
Speaker 2: Kyle Brandt. It's Caleb Williams and it's Seth freaking Rowlins.

527
00:21:29,068 --> 00:21:30,548
Speaker 3: Look at him, go look at us.

528
00:21:30,708 --> 00:21:35,108
Speaker 2: The movie co sir on this show, Guys, Christmas is

529
00:21:35,148 --> 00:21:37,268
Speaker 2: coming early this year and it's murder.

530
00:21:37,308 --> 00:21:39,988
Speaker 5: I'm not guys that Christmas.

531
00:21:40,108 --> 00:21:41,188
Speaker 3: Let's go black Christmas.

532
00:21:41,228 --> 00:21:41,388
Speaker 5: There.

533
00:21:41,388 --> 00:21:43,748
Speaker 3: It is well done.

534
00:21:45,388 --> 00:21:47,348
Speaker 2: We were gonna go for two in this segment, and

535
00:21:47,388 --> 00:21:49,628
Speaker 2: I was like yelling at our offensive coordinator, like, no,

536
00:21:49,788 --> 00:21:52,068
Speaker 2: come on, keep the offense on the field. He's like, no,

537
00:21:52,388 --> 00:21:54,148
Speaker 2: we're going for one. We're kicking the point. It's just

538
00:21:54,188 --> 00:21:55,988
Speaker 2: one topic. We still have all day tomorrow to preview

539
00:21:55,988 --> 00:21:58,828
Speaker 2: the games. All right, We're gonna stick with Pittsburgh and Baltimore.

540
00:21:58,868 --> 00:22:02,028
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh travels uh to charm City on Sunday, and the

541
00:22:02,068 --> 00:22:04,788
Speaker 2: winner of this game takes sole possession of first place

542
00:22:04,828 --> 00:22:07,468
Speaker 2: in the AFC North. The Ravens currently are in first

543
00:22:07,548 --> 00:22:12,108
Speaker 2: based on common games tiebreakers. Their star linebacker Rokwan Smith

544
00:22:12,188 --> 00:22:15,788
Speaker 2: has been replaying this message to his teammates.

545
00:22:16,468 --> 00:22:20,268
Speaker 11: Knowing that hey, if someone told you you control your

546
00:22:20,308 --> 00:22:23,628
Speaker 11: own destiny and life or just in anything like, what

547
00:22:24,388 --> 00:22:26,468
Speaker 11: would you give up? And I'm sure a lot of

548
00:22:26,468 --> 00:22:29,268
Speaker 11: people would like say, heck yeah, sign me up for that,

549
00:22:29,348 --> 00:22:31,868
Speaker 11: and like, we're in that position right now. So it's

550
00:22:31,868 --> 00:22:33,548
Speaker 11: more so about what you're going to do with it,

551
00:22:33,628 --> 00:22:35,868
Speaker 11: and it's not about talking about it. It's about more

552
00:22:35,908 --> 00:22:38,428
Speaker 11: so showing with your actions. So that's what it is.

553
00:22:38,468 --> 00:22:40,588
Speaker 11: And at the end of the day, it starts with

554
00:22:40,628 --> 00:22:43,188
Speaker 11: this game right here, and this forget everything from the past.

555
00:22:43,228 --> 00:22:45,588
Speaker 11: It's more so about this week and this week it's

556
00:22:45,588 --> 00:22:49,228
Speaker 11: the Pittsburgh Steelers and obviously we're tied right now, so

557
00:22:50,148 --> 00:22:52,268
Speaker 11: it's a big matchup. But at the end of the day,

558
00:22:52,308 --> 00:22:53,908
Speaker 11: it's still the game of football and we just have

559
00:22:53,988 --> 00:22:56,348
Speaker 11: to go out and play all brand of football and

560
00:22:56,388 --> 00:22:58,348
Speaker 11: if we do that, we'll like our chances.

561
00:22:59,388 --> 00:23:02,388
Speaker 2: The identity of these teams is wild, how much they align.

562
00:23:02,468 --> 00:23:04,908
Speaker 2: Both of these quarterbacks haven't played up to the standard

563
00:23:04,948 --> 00:23:08,068
Speaker 2: that they would want. The defenses or usually are excellent.

564
00:23:08,188 --> 00:23:11,068
Speaker 2: But MANSI, when you look at this vital AFC North matchup,

565
00:23:11,428 --> 00:23:14,188
Speaker 2: does your eye go to the to the quarterback?

566
00:23:14,268 --> 00:23:15,828
Speaker 8: Yeah, it goes to the quarterback for me, and this

567
00:23:15,908 --> 00:23:18,188
Speaker 8: is why my eye goes there. I caught something yesterday

568
00:23:18,188 --> 00:23:20,868
Speaker 8: and it reminded me of when Peyton Manning went to

569
00:23:20,908 --> 00:23:24,308
Speaker 8: the Denver Broncos. So Aaron Rodgers in last week's game

570
00:23:24,348 --> 00:23:27,108
Speaker 8: against the Buffalo Bills in their no huddle situation where

571
00:23:27,108 --> 00:23:29,588
Speaker 8: they're trying to get this thing going as when they

572
00:23:29,588 --> 00:23:33,508
Speaker 8: fail behind in the game. It reminded me of Peyton

573
00:23:33,548 --> 00:23:35,068
Speaker 8: Manning when he went to the Broncos.

574
00:23:35,068 --> 00:23:36,228
Speaker 7: Why because Peyton.

575
00:23:35,988 --> 00:23:38,868
Speaker 8: Manning and myself we shared the same agent, and when

576
00:23:38,868 --> 00:23:41,588
Speaker 8: my agent told me about Peyton Manning going there and

577
00:23:41,588 --> 00:23:44,748
Speaker 8: that offense that they're running in Denver, I remember my

578
00:23:45,588 --> 00:23:48,068
Speaker 8: agent saying it's just a matter of time before Peyton

579
00:23:48,148 --> 00:23:50,588
Speaker 8: starts to sprinkle in his offense and that he wants

580
00:23:50,588 --> 00:23:53,468
Speaker 8: to run, and it usually happens in these now huddle situations.

581
00:23:54,428 --> 00:23:56,748
Speaker 8: What's going to be interesting to me, guys, is how

582
00:23:56,828 --> 00:24:00,068
Speaker 8: long Aaron Rodgers lets this thing go until he starts

583
00:24:00,068 --> 00:24:01,228
Speaker 8: implementing his offense.

584
00:24:01,268 --> 00:24:02,468
Speaker 7: Because we know that when they.

585
00:24:02,828 --> 00:24:05,708
Speaker 8: When they go no huddle, that's the quarterback calling to play.

586
00:24:05,748 --> 00:24:07,868
Speaker 8: That's the quarterback getting his guys in line of scrimmage.

587
00:24:07,908 --> 00:24:10,228
Speaker 8: He's making that checks, he's doing the audibles. And it

588
00:24:10,348 --> 00:24:13,468
Speaker 8: just so happened that they claimed Adam Thielen and gives

589
00:24:13,548 --> 00:24:16,148
Speaker 8: him another wide receiver at his disposal.

590
00:24:16,228 --> 00:24:18,908
Speaker 7: So that's something that I'm going to be monitoring, monitoring.

591
00:24:19,028 --> 00:24:22,588
Speaker 8: Jason Cabindo is does this Hall of Fame quarterback start

592
00:24:22,628 --> 00:24:24,628
Speaker 8: to sprinkle in the things that he's done in the

593
00:24:24,668 --> 00:24:26,068
Speaker 8: past with his new team.

594
00:24:26,348 --> 00:24:27,188
Speaker 7: I guess we'll see.

595
00:24:27,388 --> 00:24:28,948
Speaker 9: I think for me, what I want to see in

596
00:24:28,988 --> 00:24:31,708
Speaker 9: this game has way less to do with x's and

597
00:24:31,748 --> 00:24:33,948
Speaker 9: o's and has way more to do with what being

598
00:24:33,988 --> 00:24:36,428
Speaker 9: a Steeler and being a Raven is supposed to be

599
00:24:36,508 --> 00:24:40,388
Speaker 9: all about. This is a maybe the most iconic rivalry

600
00:24:40,548 --> 00:24:43,828
Speaker 9: in the NFL, and two teams with those names who

601
00:24:43,828 --> 00:24:46,268
Speaker 9: really just haven't been playing like those are their names.

602
00:24:46,268 --> 00:24:47,068
Speaker 12: When we watch.

603
00:24:46,868 --> 00:24:50,028
Speaker 9: Steelers and Ravens, we're used to seeing teams that control

604
00:24:50,068 --> 00:24:52,988
Speaker 9: the line of scrimmage, linebackers that fly to the football,

605
00:24:53,348 --> 00:24:57,988
Speaker 9: big hits, smash mount football physicality. I haven't seen that

606
00:24:58,148 --> 00:25:01,908
Speaker 9: out of these two teams this year. Steelers have signed,

607
00:25:02,188 --> 00:25:04,988
Speaker 9: you know, some old brand name guys we're kind of

608
00:25:05,108 --> 00:25:09,628
Speaker 9: past their primes. The Ramseys, the Slaves, the DK Metcalfs.

609
00:25:10,828 --> 00:25:14,748
Speaker 9: The Ravens haven't been the suffocating defense, the crazy rushing

610
00:25:14,788 --> 00:25:17,188
Speaker 9: offense that we've known to see these last two three

611
00:25:17,228 --> 00:25:19,028
Speaker 9: years with Derek Henley, Lamar Jackson.

612
00:25:19,348 --> 00:25:21,348
Speaker 10: Let's see these guys just get back to who they are.

613
00:25:21,388 --> 00:25:25,908
Speaker 9: I want to see a real Steelers Ravens rivalry matchup

614
00:25:25,908 --> 00:25:28,908
Speaker 9: with the type of fundamentals that were used to seeing

615
00:25:28,908 --> 00:25:31,228
Speaker 9: between those those two teams. That's what I want to see,

616
00:25:31,268 --> 00:25:34,188
Speaker 9: a real Steelers Ravens game, not the two teams that

617
00:25:34,188 --> 00:25:36,108
Speaker 9: I've been watching so far this year.

618
00:25:36,068 --> 00:25:37,748
Speaker 4: So commend to If I get this straight, you want

619
00:25:37,748 --> 00:25:39,188
Speaker 4: to see these boys smash each.

620
00:25:39,068 --> 00:25:40,908
Speaker 10: Other, that's what you want to see.

621
00:25:41,028 --> 00:25:43,268
Speaker 4: You want to see some hard nose football, that's what

622
00:25:43,308 --> 00:25:44,348
Speaker 4: you want to see.

623
00:25:44,188 --> 00:25:47,188
Speaker 9: Yes, sir, that's what I'm about, man, full back, linebacker,

624
00:25:47,188 --> 00:25:47,908
Speaker 9: I'm all about that.

625
00:25:47,988 --> 00:25:49,508
Speaker 10: I'm a big ten guy, man.

626
00:25:50,108 --> 00:25:53,908
Speaker 4: Respect, respect, and I'm with you, man. I feel the

627
00:25:53,908 --> 00:25:55,548
Speaker 4: same way. That's what I want to see as well.

628
00:25:55,588 --> 00:25:58,308
Speaker 4: I want to see a hard nose, hard hitting, Ash

629
00:25:58,588 --> 00:26:00,508
Speaker 4: North slug fest.

630
00:26:00,628 --> 00:26:01,468
Speaker 6: That's what I want to see.

631
00:26:01,468 --> 00:26:04,588
Speaker 4: And I want to see which of these teams is

632
00:26:04,588 --> 00:26:07,548
Speaker 4: going to be able to snatch some momentum, because I

633
00:26:07,588 --> 00:26:10,748
Speaker 4: feel like both these teams this season have not. They've

634
00:26:10,748 --> 00:26:14,308
Speaker 4: been up and down. Steelers started hot, now they've kind

635
00:26:14,308 --> 00:26:16,548
Speaker 4: of petered off a little bit. I feel the same

636
00:26:16,588 --> 00:26:18,668
Speaker 4: way the Ravens started good and the Margo's out, they

637
00:26:18,668 --> 00:26:20,588
Speaker 4: don't look good at all for the first part of

638
00:26:20,588 --> 00:26:22,908
Speaker 4: the season. Lamar comes back, then they start looking a

639
00:26:22,948 --> 00:26:25,148
Speaker 4: little better, and now they've kind of stumbled a little

640
00:26:25,148 --> 00:26:26,908
Speaker 4: bit as well. So I want to see which of

641
00:26:26,948 --> 00:26:29,388
Speaker 4: these teams is going to grab this division by the

642
00:26:29,468 --> 00:26:30,868
Speaker 4: horns and lead it.

643
00:26:30,868 --> 00:26:31,748
Speaker 6: Into the playoffs.

644
00:26:31,788 --> 00:26:34,428
Speaker 4: Because you got the Cincinnati Bengals and a healthy Joe

645
00:26:34,428 --> 00:26:37,108
Speaker 4: Burrow creeping up on you. So you've got to start

646
00:26:37,268 --> 00:26:39,348
Speaker 4: winning these games, and you got to start building some

647
00:26:39,468 --> 00:26:41,908
Speaker 4: momentum because this back end of the season is going

648
00:26:41,988 --> 00:26:43,828
Speaker 4: to be tough for all three of these teams, and

649
00:26:43,988 --> 00:26:46,188
Speaker 4: all of them are in a position to win the North.

650
00:26:46,228 --> 00:26:48,988
Speaker 4: So Kyle, it's up for grabs. I'm with Cabenda. I

651
00:26:49,068 --> 00:26:50,988
Speaker 4: want to see hard and knows football. I want to

652
00:26:50,988 --> 00:26:52,788
Speaker 4: see who's going to take the rains and run with

653
00:26:52,828 --> 00:26:54,348
Speaker 4: this thing towards the playoffs.

654
00:26:54,468 --> 00:26:56,788
Speaker 5: I love the stakes. I love the oar in December

655
00:26:56,788 --> 00:26:58,388
Speaker 5: in the games matter the stakes.

656
00:26:58,388 --> 00:27:01,668
Speaker 1: He are huge for two teams with crappy, stupid, dumb

657
00:27:01,708 --> 00:27:03,988
Speaker 1: six and six records, So dumb.

658
00:27:03,708 --> 00:27:07,868
Speaker 5: Records that seth is right. The Bengals are creeping at

659
00:27:07,908 --> 00:27:08,468
Speaker 5: four and eight.

660
00:27:09,468 --> 00:27:11,708
Speaker 1: And the crazy thing about the Bengals is like they

661
00:27:11,988 --> 00:27:13,828
Speaker 1: don't even have to be perfect to still make the

662
00:27:13,988 --> 00:27:15,908
Speaker 1: They might lose another game and still make if they

663
00:27:15,988 --> 00:27:18,148
Speaker 1: have wiggle room at four and eight with the way

664
00:27:18,148 --> 00:27:19,108
Speaker 1: these two teams are playing.

665
00:27:19,108 --> 00:27:22,508
Speaker 5: But the stakes are this six and six. Guys.

666
00:27:22,508 --> 00:27:26,348
Speaker 1: If you lose, either the Ravens complete another stretch in

667
00:27:26,348 --> 00:27:28,508
Speaker 1: which Lamar is playing some of the shakiest football we've

668
00:27:28,508 --> 00:27:31,388
Speaker 1: seen him in years, or the Steelers fall into this

669
00:27:31,548 --> 00:27:33,508
Speaker 1: horrible hellhole of bad.

670
00:27:33,308 --> 00:27:35,748
Speaker 5: Football and cruel media tearing them apart.

671
00:27:35,948 --> 00:27:37,548
Speaker 1: I've said this before, and I'll double down, and I

672
00:27:37,588 --> 00:27:39,468
Speaker 1: think the Steelers are gonna win this game. And I

673
00:27:39,508 --> 00:27:42,828
Speaker 1: know the Ravens that thinks that's disrespectful. I think the

674
00:27:42,868 --> 00:27:44,788
Speaker 1: best thing for the Steelers right now could the fact

675
00:27:44,788 --> 00:27:46,588
Speaker 1: that this is on the road, so if they punt

676
00:27:46,628 --> 00:27:49,108
Speaker 1: the first three possessions, the whole stadium isn't booing them

677
00:27:49,108 --> 00:27:51,588
Speaker 1: like the Steelers fans would be. And it's like, if

678
00:27:51,628 --> 00:27:53,308
Speaker 1: the Steelers had one three in a row coming into

679
00:27:53,348 --> 00:27:53,708
Speaker 1: this game, I.

680
00:27:53,668 --> 00:27:54,748
Speaker 5: Would say they're gonna lose.

681
00:27:55,068 --> 00:27:58,188
Speaker 1: It's just that they have that magnetic attraction to always

682
00:27:58,268 --> 00:28:00,708
Speaker 1: keeping their head above water, and the fact that the

683
00:28:00,708 --> 00:28:02,268
Speaker 1: people like, why can't you pick the Steelers?

684
00:28:02,268 --> 00:28:04,108
Speaker 5: The whole world's crumbling on. They're playing terrible.

685
00:28:04,468 --> 00:28:06,908
Speaker 1: That's why I am picking them because under Mike Tomlin,

686
00:28:06,988 --> 00:28:10,188
Speaker 1: when that happens, they find a way to lift themselves up.

687
00:28:10,308 --> 00:28:12,108
Speaker 1: Just like when they're playing well, they find a way

688
00:28:12,108 --> 00:28:14,708
Speaker 1: to fall down. So it's a weird record, it's a

689
00:28:14,708 --> 00:28:16,908
Speaker 1: weird two quarterback matchup. I don't have a lot of

690
00:28:16,948 --> 00:28:19,788
Speaker 1: history with Rogers versus Lamar. Both of them need to

691
00:28:19,828 --> 00:28:22,148
Speaker 1: play really, really well. Whoever loses this game, it's like,

692
00:28:22,508 --> 00:28:24,068
Speaker 1: get out of my sight. We got better teams to

693
00:28:24,108 --> 00:28:26,508
Speaker 1: talk about. Get the now five and eight Bengals up

694
00:28:26,508 --> 00:28:27,508
Speaker 1: here and we'll talk about them.

695
00:28:27,708 --> 00:28:29,748
Speaker 2: Yeah, how are we supposed to be wrought with debate

696
00:28:29,868 --> 00:28:32,428
Speaker 2: about how the Steelers are supposed to enact change over

697
00:28:32,428 --> 00:28:34,828
Speaker 2: the offseason if they're not perfectly five hundred or just

698
00:28:34,868 --> 00:28:37,628
Speaker 2: slightly above in the regular season. We don't know how

699
00:28:37,668 --> 00:28:40,108
Speaker 2: to base our argument and anything else unless we know

700
00:28:40,148 --> 00:28:42,908
Speaker 2: that as the outcome. It's Steelers at Ravens this weekend,

701
00:28:42,948 --> 00:28:46,148
Speaker 2: one of many delicious matchups from Week fourteen.

702
00:28:48,788 --> 00:28:51,028
Speaker 3: Our next guest on GMFB so kind.

703
00:28:51,188 --> 00:28:52,748
Speaker 2: We were just so happy to see him in the

704
00:28:52,748 --> 00:28:54,988
Speaker 2: commercial break that he was an absolute menace on the

705
00:28:54,988 --> 00:28:57,668
Speaker 2: field as part of Seattle's legendary.

706
00:28:57,188 --> 00:28:58,068
Speaker 3: Legion of boom.

707
00:28:58,108 --> 00:29:00,628
Speaker 2: He's a Super Bowl champion and a three time Pro bowler,

708
00:29:00,668 --> 00:29:03,188
Speaker 2: and he's no stranger to us here at the breakfast table.

709
00:29:03,228 --> 00:29:05,668
Speaker 2: Say hello to Formersattle Seahawks defensive I.

710
00:29:05,628 --> 00:29:12,948
Speaker 12: Might call that, well, thank you. How guy's doing.

711
00:29:13,188 --> 00:29:14,108
Speaker 3: We're fantastic.

712
00:29:14,228 --> 00:29:14,588
Speaker 5: How are you?

713
00:29:15,868 --> 00:29:16,308
Speaker 12: I'm good?

714
00:29:16,348 --> 00:29:16,948
Speaker 10: Life is good.

715
00:29:17,028 --> 00:29:19,988
Speaker 14: I'm getting older, just turned forty, so I feel I

716
00:29:19,988 --> 00:29:21,708
Speaker 14: feel old and young at the same time.

717
00:29:21,828 --> 00:29:24,988
Speaker 3: You know, so heard you're standing firmly on the hill.

718
00:29:25,108 --> 00:29:28,068
Speaker 2: But that kind of life and football experience, Michael, it

719
00:29:28,148 --> 00:29:30,788
Speaker 2: gives us a chance to ask you about the NFC

720
00:29:30,828 --> 00:29:32,548
Speaker 2: as it stands right now, and the fact that the

721
00:29:32,628 --> 00:29:35,348
Speaker 2: Seahawks are right there in the next nine and three.

722
00:29:35,788 --> 00:29:37,548
Speaker 2: You know this team, you know the makeup of it,

723
00:29:37,588 --> 00:29:39,828
Speaker 2: the building, and you know what you're seeing on the field.

724
00:29:40,268 --> 00:29:42,148
Speaker 2: What do you make of the twenty twenty five Seattle

725
00:29:42,188 --> 00:29:43,508
Speaker 2: Seahawks and what they put out there?

726
00:29:44,068 --> 00:29:44,908
Speaker 12: I'm super excited.

727
00:29:44,988 --> 00:29:47,148
Speaker 14: Leonard Williams is my favorite player in the NFL when

728
00:29:47,148 --> 00:29:49,748
Speaker 14: it comes to defense, and then Jessying is somebody that

729
00:29:49,788 --> 00:29:50,948
Speaker 14: I love watching play.

730
00:29:51,188 --> 00:29:52,628
Speaker 12: The team is just such a great team.

731
00:29:52,668 --> 00:29:55,428
Speaker 14: I think they're built, you know, structurally just like how

732
00:29:55,428 --> 00:29:57,908
Speaker 14: we were built through twenty thirteen and twenty fourteen, A

733
00:29:57,948 --> 00:30:00,828
Speaker 14: stout defense with a profound offense, and I think this

734
00:30:00,948 --> 00:30:02,948
Speaker 14: is one of those teams that I think every week

735
00:30:03,148 --> 00:30:06,868
Speaker 14: they're dominating big plays up front, the secondary is good

736
00:30:07,228 --> 00:30:10,508
Speaker 14: overall as a team, it's just a competitive organization at

737
00:30:10,548 --> 00:30:13,708
Speaker 14: the moment. As a player, as a legend from that team, like,

738
00:30:13,828 --> 00:30:15,868
Speaker 14: we're probably gonna make less money because they have an

739
00:30:15,868 --> 00:30:18,948
Speaker 14: opportunity to be the champions this year. I feel like

740
00:30:19,028 --> 00:30:21,748
Speaker 14: they're strong and I feel like, yo, they're poised.

741
00:30:21,788 --> 00:30:23,468
Speaker 12: I think Mike has done a great job.

742
00:30:23,348 --> 00:30:28,188
Speaker 14: Of establishing his culture, his type of tenacity, his defense,

743
00:30:28,508 --> 00:30:30,788
Speaker 14: and you see it every single week, play in and

744
00:30:30,828 --> 00:30:33,308
Speaker 14: play out, every single faster.

745
00:30:33,548 --> 00:30:36,028
Speaker 12: That defense and offense is good.

746
00:30:36,308 --> 00:30:38,748
Speaker 14: I feel like the offensive line for a moment was

747
00:30:38,788 --> 00:30:40,828
Speaker 14: something that people were questioning, but now it's starting to

748
00:30:40,868 --> 00:30:43,148
Speaker 14: be strong in the running game and Sam is having

749
00:30:43,428 --> 00:30:45,588
Speaker 14: a great season, and I think this is a great

750
00:30:45,588 --> 00:30:47,148
Speaker 14: team that has a chance to win the Super Bowl.

751
00:30:47,188 --> 00:30:50,348
Speaker 14: It's my pick to win. I don't say that because

752
00:30:50,388 --> 00:30:52,108
Speaker 14: they pay me all the time. I say that because

753
00:30:52,508 --> 00:30:53,868
Speaker 14: I like the way they played it. I like the

754
00:30:53,908 --> 00:30:56,188
Speaker 14: way they play the game. You know, I love the

755
00:30:56,228 --> 00:30:58,108
Speaker 14: way that they played football. Last week they had a

756
00:30:58,148 --> 00:30:59,828
Speaker 14: shut out. I know it's hard to do, is you know?

757
00:30:59,908 --> 00:31:01,228
Speaker 7: Man time? Yeah, well, we'll tell me.

758
00:31:01,268 --> 00:31:03,668
Speaker 8: That's big, bro, because when we used to train together,

759
00:31:03,828 --> 00:31:06,308
Speaker 8: obviously and the me being will come in, Cliff Abra

760
00:31:06,468 --> 00:31:08,908
Speaker 8: was always there and we're train together in that defense.

761
00:31:08,988 --> 00:31:09,228
Speaker 7: Right.

762
00:31:09,388 --> 00:31:12,348
Speaker 8: The Seattle Seahawks the defense this year at they're third

763
00:31:12,388 --> 00:31:14,988
Speaker 8: in points, sixth and yards, fourth and sacks.

764
00:31:14,988 --> 00:31:16,988
Speaker 7: What is it about this defense to you that you

765
00:31:17,188 --> 00:31:17,708
Speaker 7: liked the most?

766
00:31:18,468 --> 00:31:21,028
Speaker 14: I love the defensive line. I think the Marcus Lawrence

767
00:31:21,108 --> 00:31:23,188
Speaker 14: is having an outstanding season. I got to play with

768
00:31:23,228 --> 00:31:25,988
Speaker 14: the Marcus Lawrence for my last season and to see

769
00:31:26,068 --> 00:31:28,308
Speaker 14: him progress, it's not only as a player, but to

770
00:31:28,348 --> 00:31:30,548
Speaker 14: see his leadership that he's brought to this defense, this

771
00:31:30,668 --> 00:31:33,348
Speaker 14: type of never give up. Leonard Williamson me is the

772
00:31:33,388 --> 00:31:35,788
Speaker 14: most versatile defensive player in the NFL.

773
00:31:35,948 --> 00:31:38,668
Speaker 12: He plays every single position. He reminds me of myself

774
00:31:38,668 --> 00:31:39,028
Speaker 12: in that way.

775
00:31:39,028 --> 00:31:41,348
Speaker 14: He's bigger than me, but he's And then you talk

776
00:31:41,348 --> 00:31:44,748
Speaker 14: about the linebacker court. There's a lot of guys that

777
00:31:44,868 --> 00:31:47,228
Speaker 14: was kind of questioning whether these guys could play. But

778
00:31:47,268 --> 00:31:49,268
Speaker 14: they're showing up every single week and I'm gonna get

779
00:31:49,268 --> 00:31:51,948
Speaker 14: me started. On the secondary, right, you have all these

780
00:31:51,988 --> 00:31:55,068
Speaker 14: great corners and overall it's just a really great defense.

781
00:31:55,108 --> 00:31:57,108
Speaker 14: And I think what makes the defense is one of

782
00:31:57,108 --> 00:32:00,508
Speaker 14: the best is like is that they have rotation. They

783
00:32:00,548 --> 00:32:03,588
Speaker 14: got guys that come in, there's no drop off wooland

784
00:32:03,668 --> 00:32:04,348
Speaker 14: the linebacker.

785
00:32:04,828 --> 00:32:06,308
Speaker 12: Everybody's doing such a great job.

786
00:32:06,348 --> 00:32:08,988
Speaker 14: And then you add I see that the special teams

787
00:32:08,988 --> 00:32:13,188
Speaker 14: as another facet OFUGH defense. And the special teams just

788
00:32:13,228 --> 00:32:15,988
Speaker 14: stot Kobe Bryant, everybody that goes in. You got guys

789
00:32:16,028 --> 00:32:18,308
Speaker 14: who are starters that are playing on the defense. And

790
00:32:18,348 --> 00:32:20,708
Speaker 14: then you come in Byron Murphy his second year to

791
00:32:20,828 --> 00:32:22,908
Speaker 14: be having seven sacks. I mean, a guy that we

792
00:32:22,948 --> 00:32:24,908
Speaker 14: didn't think that could be a pass rusher is starting

793
00:32:24,908 --> 00:32:27,708
Speaker 14: to stand out as a pass rusher, as a nose tackle.

794
00:32:27,748 --> 00:32:29,988
Speaker 14: And then you got guys like Jaran Reid. Overall it's

795
00:32:29,988 --> 00:32:32,388
Speaker 14: just a stack defense, you know. So you know, like

796
00:32:32,388 --> 00:32:34,428
Speaker 14: like I said, DeMarcus Lawrence and all those guys, But

797
00:32:34,548 --> 00:32:37,468
Speaker 14: Leonard Williams every week is dominating up front. I don't know,

798
00:32:37,588 --> 00:32:39,908
Speaker 14: he didn't make All Pro our first team last year,

799
00:32:40,028 --> 00:32:42,508
Speaker 14: but if they don't make Leonard Williams All Pro this year,

800
00:32:42,748 --> 00:32:44,228
Speaker 14: I'm not watching football anymore.

801
00:32:44,308 --> 00:32:45,948
Speaker 12: That's just That's just what I'm gonna say.

802
00:32:46,108 --> 00:32:48,868
Speaker 14: If Leonard Williams is not an All Pro this year,

803
00:32:49,148 --> 00:32:50,948
Speaker 14: what are we talking about when you talk about a

804
00:32:50,988 --> 00:32:54,028
Speaker 14: guy who stops to run rushes the passer had ten

805
00:32:54,068 --> 00:32:57,308
Speaker 14: sacks last plus sacks last year, twenty plus quarterback hits

806
00:32:57,508 --> 00:33:00,388
Speaker 14: and every year is in a second is in the backfield.

807
00:33:00,548 --> 00:33:03,268
Speaker 14: I mean, Miles Garrett is the best defensive lineman in

808
00:33:03,268 --> 00:33:06,508
Speaker 14: the NFL. We can't nobody can deny that. But oh second,

809
00:33:06,588 --> 00:33:07,828
Speaker 14: I would take Lennar Williams.

810
00:33:07,948 --> 00:33:10,308
Speaker 9: Wow, Mike, you know, ball bro, we just got like

811
00:33:10,308 --> 00:33:13,748
Speaker 9: a player by player breakdown of that entire team.

812
00:33:13,948 --> 00:33:16,228
Speaker 10: I freaking love it. Look the Houston Texans.

813
00:33:16,228 --> 00:33:19,708
Speaker 9: They stacked the reigning MVP Josh Allen eight times in

814
00:33:19,748 --> 00:33:22,908
Speaker 9: Week twelve. They've consistently been the top defense in the

815
00:33:22,988 --> 00:33:23,868
Speaker 9: league this season.

816
00:33:24,068 --> 00:33:25,548
Speaker 10: What stands out to you about Houston?

817
00:33:26,108 --> 00:33:28,148
Speaker 14: Well, first of all, the Miko Rians was one of

818
00:33:28,148 --> 00:33:30,668
Speaker 14: the best defensive players coming out. You're talking about leadership

819
00:33:30,668 --> 00:33:34,228
Speaker 14: in Alabama playing for the Philadelphia Eagles to being the

820
00:33:34,388 --> 00:33:37,348
Speaker 14: legend from the Texans leading the forty nine ers defense

821
00:33:37,388 --> 00:33:39,828
Speaker 14: as a young coach, and they're coming in tenacity.

822
00:33:39,868 --> 00:33:41,108
Speaker 12: Defense is what he's breathed.

823
00:33:41,188 --> 00:33:43,388
Speaker 14: And if you see who he was as a player,

824
00:33:43,428 --> 00:33:46,548
Speaker 14: his ability to be a leader, his ability to play

825
00:33:46,548 --> 00:33:49,908
Speaker 14: through injury, have strength. You have the defensive lineman Hunter

826
00:33:51,228 --> 00:33:55,268
Speaker 14: will Anderson. These guys are just vicious. Nobody wants to

827
00:33:55,268 --> 00:33:57,428
Speaker 14: go against these guys when it comes about setting the edge,

828
00:33:57,548 --> 00:33:59,748
Speaker 14: Mario Edwards, everybody real all these.

829
00:33:59,668 --> 00:34:00,868
Speaker 12: Guys, this is a type of defense.

830
00:34:00,908 --> 00:34:03,268
Speaker 14: As a quarterback, you want to not play against you

831
00:34:03,388 --> 00:34:05,788
Speaker 14: like it's a tech. Do I have the Texas on

832
00:34:05,828 --> 00:34:07,988
Speaker 14: my schedule, That's the week that I want to be injured,

833
00:34:08,028 --> 00:34:10,788
Speaker 14: because if not, I will be injured after the game.

834
00:34:11,148 --> 00:34:12,908
Speaker 12: The secondary is is stack.

835
00:34:13,268 --> 00:34:15,588
Speaker 14: This is one of the best defensives in the NFL,

836
00:34:15,748 --> 00:34:18,308
Speaker 14: the best defense when you talk about points port game,

837
00:34:18,388 --> 00:34:22,028
Speaker 14: total yards per game, and in sacks and takeaways. They've

838
00:34:22,068 --> 00:34:24,068
Speaker 14: just come on. I would see j Straud. This is

839
00:34:24,068 --> 00:34:26,668
Speaker 14: the perfect, perfect time to get CJ. Straw back right

840
00:34:26,708 --> 00:34:28,788
Speaker 14: because in this conference he was hurt for a couple

841
00:34:28,828 --> 00:34:31,188
Speaker 14: of weeks and he comes back with defenses hitting on

842
00:34:31,228 --> 00:34:33,588
Speaker 14: all cylanders. And the best time to be the best

843
00:34:33,628 --> 00:34:36,788
Speaker 14: defense is in December. Whoever plays great football in December

844
00:34:37,148 --> 00:34:39,148
Speaker 14: leads into the playoffs. As usually the team who has

845
00:34:39,148 --> 00:34:42,508
Speaker 14: a chance to win a championship. And Josh Allen is

846
00:34:42,508 --> 00:34:44,508
Speaker 14: one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL. If you

847
00:34:44,508 --> 00:34:46,908
Speaker 14: say who's the best quarterback, you have to say either

848
00:34:46,988 --> 00:34:50,748
Speaker 14: Lamar Jackson, Patrick Mahomes, or Josh Allen. And right now

849
00:34:50,948 --> 00:34:53,268
Speaker 14: I would say that Josh Allen consistently is probably the

850
00:34:53,268 --> 00:34:56,148
Speaker 14: best quarterback in the NFL, and second being Patrick Mahomes.

851
00:34:56,228 --> 00:34:58,428
Speaker 14: And see what they did against him was a very

852
00:34:59,188 --> 00:35:02,348
Speaker 14: was very It was very vicious to see guys go

853
00:35:02,388 --> 00:35:03,828
Speaker 14: out there and play that type of football.

854
00:35:03,948 --> 00:35:06,268
Speaker 12: But I'm it's that type of football dog.

855
00:35:06,068 --> 00:35:08,388
Speaker 14: On dog lineup and doesn't matter who's out there, if

856
00:35:08,388 --> 00:35:09,388
Speaker 14: it's your mama.

857
00:35:09,308 --> 00:35:11,228
Speaker 12: Your cousin, your pe coach.

858
00:35:11,788 --> 00:35:14,508
Speaker 14: Just going out there and just playing football at the

859
00:35:14,548 --> 00:35:17,308
Speaker 14: highest level. I enjoyed that type of football and watching

860
00:35:17,308 --> 00:35:19,468
Speaker 14: that type of player on the game. As a defensive player,

861
00:35:19,908 --> 00:35:22,548
Speaker 14: it's love to see those type of guys dominate every weekend,

862
00:35:22,588 --> 00:35:23,268
Speaker 14: week out.

863
00:35:23,308 --> 00:35:26,548
Speaker 4: Oh, Mike, I am loving sitting under your learning tree

864
00:35:26,628 --> 00:35:29,228
Speaker 4: right now. Man, this is awesome and I hate it,

865
00:35:29,228 --> 00:35:30,748
Speaker 4: but we got to switch gears just a little bit.

866
00:35:30,788 --> 00:35:33,668
Speaker 4: I want to ask you, you and a few other

867
00:35:33,948 --> 00:35:37,508
Speaker 4: members of the Legion of Boom recently reunited, but not

868
00:35:37,588 --> 00:35:41,628
Speaker 4: to play football, but for some tactical training and video gaming.

869
00:35:41,668 --> 00:35:43,308
Speaker 6: Can you tell us a little more about that.

870
00:35:43,988 --> 00:35:45,548
Speaker 14: Yeah, we got a chance to play Ready or Not,

871
00:35:45,668 --> 00:35:47,988
Speaker 14: which it was an interesting game. There's a part of

872
00:35:47,988 --> 00:35:51,588
Speaker 14: where we're watching it where everybody blew up, but it

873
00:35:51,628 --> 00:35:53,748
Speaker 14: wasn't my fault. They blew up because they didn't realize

874
00:35:53,788 --> 00:35:56,508
Speaker 14: the game was a realistic game. But I love getting

875
00:35:56,508 --> 00:35:59,868
Speaker 14: the opportunity to be with my brothers because you know,

876
00:36:00,068 --> 00:36:02,908
Speaker 14: very few times you play a game and you go off.

877
00:36:03,028 --> 00:36:05,388
Speaker 14: You have a job, and you don't talk to people

878
00:36:05,388 --> 00:36:07,268
Speaker 14: at the job, like, golly, I'm ready to get off work.

879
00:36:07,268 --> 00:36:08,788
Speaker 14: I hope I don't see these people, but I have

880
00:36:08,788 --> 00:36:11,028
Speaker 14: to see them tomorrow. I don't have that feeling with

881
00:36:11,108 --> 00:36:13,028
Speaker 14: my teammates. It's like when I get a chance around

882
00:36:13,028 --> 00:36:15,948
Speaker 14: to see Sharn or Cam or Cliff, to do anything

883
00:36:15,988 --> 00:36:18,388
Speaker 14: with them. It feels like a brotherhood and family coming

884
00:36:18,428 --> 00:36:20,708
Speaker 14: back together. And to play this game and have this

885
00:36:20,788 --> 00:36:23,748
Speaker 14: technical experience of what the SWAT goes through, it was

886
00:36:23,748 --> 00:36:27,108
Speaker 14: perfect to depend on my brothers, depend on leadership, go

887
00:36:27,188 --> 00:36:30,268
Speaker 14: through something as a process. Again, to have one common

888
00:36:30,308 --> 00:36:32,948
Speaker 14: goal was to win. But unfortunately they all died in

889
00:36:32,988 --> 00:36:35,948
Speaker 14: the game, and I survived for some reason. I mean,

890
00:36:35,988 --> 00:36:37,828
Speaker 14: I think I just know, I just I don't know.

891
00:36:37,908 --> 00:36:40,308
Speaker 14: I'm just more stute than them, I guess. But I

892
00:36:40,428 --> 00:36:42,068
Speaker 14: enjoyed the game. The game was a very it's a

893
00:36:42,148 --> 00:36:44,228
Speaker 14: very realistic game, and I think sometimes when you have

894
00:36:44,588 --> 00:36:46,868
Speaker 14: these kind of games that are not very realistic, and

895
00:36:46,908 --> 00:36:48,708
Speaker 14: at this point, this was one of those games that

896
00:36:48,788 --> 00:36:51,188
Speaker 14: felt realistic. The gameplay, the way that you have to

897
00:36:51,228 --> 00:36:53,788
Speaker 14: talk on and being able to use your weapons, and

898
00:36:53,948 --> 00:36:55,868
Speaker 14: it's just a really game that kind of has the

899
00:36:55,868 --> 00:36:58,548
Speaker 14: same kind of sense of what it's important as a

900
00:36:58,548 --> 00:37:02,188
Speaker 14: swat team to be on one accord because one bad

901
00:37:02,268 --> 00:37:05,028
Speaker 14: move requires somebody somebody might die, and in the game,

902
00:37:05,108 --> 00:37:07,668
Speaker 14: one bad player can require you to so depending on

903
00:37:07,708 --> 00:37:08,068
Speaker 14: each other.

904
00:37:08,308 --> 00:37:10,148
Speaker 12: Was it was very good.

905
00:37:10,668 --> 00:37:12,708
Speaker 8: Mike just wanted to say thank you for coming on

906
