8
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:27,320
Speaker 2: tire buying should be. We got seven games kicking off

9
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 2: around the NFL right now, Buccaneers at the Falcons, Lions

10
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 2: at the Bears, Colts at the Bengals, Jaguars at the Browns,

11
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:37,840
Speaker 2: Panthers at the Saints, Texans at the Jets, Rams at

12
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 2: the Ravens, and Richie As we get ready for Week

13
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 2: fourteen here in the National Football League, we're into the

14
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 2: month of December. This is when things get a little

15
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:50,239
Speaker 2: more serious. Going back on your NFL career, just give

16
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 2: us a little sense of the mindset of players, especially

17
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 2: those that are stilling contention for a playoff run. How

18
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 2: do things change once you get into the month of December.

19
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 3: Well, they're all playoff games now, and what I mean

20
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:08,760
Speaker 3: by that is you're either playing for your ability to

21
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:12,559
Speaker 3: be in the postseason or you're seeding in the postseason.

22
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 1: If you look at this early slate of.

23
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 3: Games, I mean there's one one game alone, maybe two

24
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 3: if we look at Rams Baltimore, but who knows, maybe

25
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 3: that could have some implications in terms of tiebreakers if

26
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,759
Speaker 3: it gets silly on either side of the conference conversation.

27
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 3: But we have two games that may not really resemble

28
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 3: much in terms of playoff implications.

29
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 1: The rest of them do.

30
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 3: Detroit Chicago, Houston against the Jets, Jacksonville against Cleveland, Indianapolis

31
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 3: against Bengals. So the Colts Bengals game is enormous in

32
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 3: terms of who makes it and who goes home this season.

33
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Atlanta. I mean this is for the division.

34
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is an incredible weekend slate of games. There

35
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 3: playoff implications everywhere. And as a former football player, when

36
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 3: you're in these situations and you're playing for your playoff lives,

37
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 3: this is meaningful to everybody for a lot of different reasons.

38
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 3: The older you get in the league, the more you

39
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 3: start thinking about your own personal legacy. How many times

40
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 3: I had to bite at the apple, how many opportunities

41
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 3: I have left to win a Super Bowl for the

42
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 3: younger guys. You're talking about getting huge playoff checks because

43
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 3: a lot of these guys aren't paid as much money

44
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 3: as the veterans are, so you're talking about opportunities to

45
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 3: make a lot more money if you get into the tournament.

46
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:36,800
Speaker 1: So this is huge. There's playoff implications everywhere.

47
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 2: Absolutely. I love how you brought it up. I mean,

48
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,919
Speaker 2: you talk about a game like the Buccaneers Falcons five

49
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 2: and seven versus six and six. This is a very

50
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 2: division title. Yep, Colts at Bengals, all of a sudden,

51
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,360
Speaker 2: the Bengals after a win and that incredible win against

52
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 2: Jacksonville with Jake Browning suddenly was the hottest quarterback on

53
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 2: the planet. They're back in the conversation at six and six.

54
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 2: Last by week, only two teams left that had not

55
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 2: had thereby and that would be the Commanders and the Cardinals.

56
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 2: After this week, every team will have played thirteen games

57
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 2: as we come down the stretch run of the NFL. Obviously, yesterday, Richie,

58
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 2: there was a lot of big guest stories. We had

59
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 2: the NBA Cup. Thank god that the Lakers have said

60
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 2: we will not hang any banner to commemorate winning the

61
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:23,959
Speaker 2: n season tournament. Thank you for Lakers for that decision.

62
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 2: Jaden Daniels won the Heisman Trophy. I did not vote

63
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 2: for Jaden Daniels. Michael Pennock Junior was my choice. I

64
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 2: looked at it this way. Daniels had four games against

65
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 2: ranked teams this year and lost three of them. His

66
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 2: best win was against Missouri. Pennicks beat Oregon twice. That's

67
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 2: why I voted Michael Pennocks won. Not that Daniels didn't

68
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 2: have great stats, I get it, but in my opinion,

69
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 2: undefeated one guy out of the final four in the

70
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 2: playoffs that was Michael Pennick. So I revealed my votes

71
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 2: only the third time ever, Richie, that I have voted

72
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 2: for someone did not win the Heisman Trophy. And then

73
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 2: we had the Otani story yesterday. Our buddy John Paul

74
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 2: Morosi joined us on the show yesterday, rich and of

75
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 2: course he had to address the situation about breaking news

76
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 2: of the Toronto trip for Otani that never actually happened.

77
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 2: And I know what happened there. He didn't have to

78
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 2: tell me. Look, you're an inside guy. You get information,

79
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:25,040
Speaker 2: you get fed information. It was obvious that they represented

80
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 2: us or Otani were trying to dig more money out

81
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 2: of the Dodgers. It worked less than twenty four hours.

82
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 2: Not just you know, JP, but other sources had this

83
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 2: Toronto thing. He signs for seven hundred million dollars, So

84
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:39,359
Speaker 2: he's a Dodger, right, And what quick thought on that

85
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 2: whole Otani thing, Because here's here's my thought on this

86
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 2: right at the top, and we talked about this with

87
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:48,040
Speaker 2: JP yesterday. There are two stories here. From a financial standpoint,

88
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 2: it makes all the sense in the world. The Dodgers

89
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 2: are going to get very, very wealthy having Otani under

90
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,119
Speaker 2: lock and key for the next ten years. No opt

91
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 2: out on the deal. But if you're a Dodgers fan

92
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 2: and his his presence does not produce a World Series championship,

93
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,039
Speaker 2: he's going to be a target because he got seven

94
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 2: hundred million dollars attached to your name. We don't know.

95
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 2: He's played six years in the majors and he's been

96
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 2: on six losing teams. He's never been on a team

97
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 2: that even had a winning record, so it's going to

98
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,719
Speaker 2: be interesting moving forward. Look, if they win multiple World

99
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 2: Series he plays like he did in the World Baseball Classic,

100
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:29,279
Speaker 2: then you know it's it's done. He'll his superstar level

101
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,599
Speaker 2: go to another level. But if it doesn't produce championships

102
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 2: at least, Dodgers fans are going to be very frustrated that, Wow,

103
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:38,919
Speaker 2: we got the best player on the planet and we

104
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 2: still can't win championships.

105
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, that'll be very frustrating for fan bases, you know,

106
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 3: for the Major League Baseball team, any of them who

107
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:51,279
Speaker 3: were to get his talents to sign the dotted line,

108
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 3: they know what they're signing up for. Whether this deal

109
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:59,039
Speaker 3: works out or not, it makes them an internationally intriguing

110
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 3: franchise because look, the Dodgers already have that flavor. Obviously

111
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 3: a lot of Latin American players, Mexican players over the years,

112
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 3: and Japanese ball players. But this is the biggest signing

113
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 3: in terms of the international market in lord knows how long.

114
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 3: This is arguably the biggest international signing. Otani has an

115
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 3: entire country waiting on pins and needles to see where

116
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 3: he lands, and the fact that he chose a Western

117
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 3: Seaboard team tells you a lot about Otani. I don't

118
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:38,160
Speaker 3: think he particularly wanted to play for the Dodgers. I mean,

119
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 3: if I'm gonna be perfectly honest with you and just

120
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 3: trying to read his personality from Afar. This is a

121
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 3: very private person. But I think he wanted to do

122
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 3: his fans in Japan a favor by making it an

123
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 3: easier access to him. And also, I mean the money.

124
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:56,480
Speaker 3: You can't turn down the money, so there's that aspect

125
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,719
Speaker 3: as well. This is a win win for Otani and

126
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 3: the Dodgers. I'm very curious though, if it's a win

127
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:05,840
Speaker 3: for the fan base, because they have a lot of

128
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 3: money tied up now in Otani. These contracts usually age

129
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 3: better than you think, because seven hundred million dollars sounds

130
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 3: like an enormous deal right now. In about eight years,

131
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 3: it's probably gonna sound about normal.

132
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 1: I don't know, that's crazy.

133
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 2: No, I'm telling you. I talked to a lot of

134
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 2: people about this seven and this this he's a unicorn.

135
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 2: You're not suddenly gonna see salaries. Remember the highest hour

136
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 2: was forty three million, and he's making seventy. Again, a

137
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 2: lot of this money is deferred, we don't need. By

138
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 2: the way, the Dodgers actually have not made any announcement

139
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 2: about the signing of Otani. There's been nothing out of

140
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 2: the Dodger organization. There's been an acknowledgment on social media

141
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 2: of Magic Johnson, but the actual organization has not put

142
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 2: it out because I think there's still a lot of

143
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 2: details to be hashed out in terms of the deferment

144
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 2: of payments and exactly how this is gonna work to

145
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 2: pay him seven or a milime because the thing about

146
00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 2: it is if you're talking to for payments for a

147
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 2: seven or a million dollar contract, that could end up

148
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 2: being a billion dollars. Yeah, deferred payments. So the Dodgers

149
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 2: are working out that. So anyway, it's a big story.

150
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 2: But right now we're focused on the NFL. And guess

151
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 2: who has scored first. That would be the Cleveland Browns

152
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:17,239
Speaker 2: opening drive. Joe Flacco four for four sixty six yards.

153
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 2: He just threw a touchdown passing Djoka right there, So

154
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 2: touchdown thirty four yards and Cleveland is on the board. Now,

155
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 2: Jacksonville did get good news today. Trevor Lawrence will start

156
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 2: a quarterback after that high ankle twist. We're gonna see

157
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 2: how that plays out this week because obviously he had

158
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 2: to be helped off the field last week. High ankle

159
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 2: sprains are not an easy injury to deal with.

160
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:43,840
Speaker 1: Rich No, no, they're not.

161
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:47,199
Speaker 3: And here's what I'm tasking my defensive line with if

162
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 3: I'm over there on the Cleveland side of this ballfield,

163
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 3: is hey, you four up front, you get to him right,

164
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 3: you beat your guy. We're gonna set you up. We're

165
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 3: gonna get you in some twists and some stunts, and

166
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:00,680
Speaker 3: we're gonna try to.

167
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 1: Solo the better pass rushers i e.

168
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 3: Miles Garrett against some of their worst pass blockers, and

169
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 3: we're gonna try to get you to the quarterback. And

170
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:10,319
Speaker 3: then you need to get to them, and you need

171
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 3: to hit him. You need to get him to the ground. Now,

172
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 3: I'm not talking about anything illegal, but I'm talking about

173
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 3: the legal stuff. Hitting him with your shoulder in his

174
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 3: mid section, bring him to the ground gently like everybody likes,

175
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 3: but being in his kitchen all day long, because if

176
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:27,560
Speaker 3: you can play seven in coverage with your four dogs

177
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 3: up front getting after Trevor Lawrence, it means that he's

178
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 3: gonna have to pack the ball in the pocket, wait

179
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:36,679
Speaker 3: for people to uncover. And if your pass rush can

180
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 3: bring you to Providence, well this is gonna be a long,

181
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 3: hard day for Jacksonville.

182
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:43,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, Jacksonville is you know they were sitting pretty a

183
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 2: couple of weeks ago but that loss of the Bengals hurt.

184
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,080
Speaker 2: And remember they're at eight and four. The Colts and

185
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 2: Texans are sitting at seven and five. So on the

186
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:54,439
Speaker 2: road against Cleveland today with a less than one hundred

187
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:58,679
Speaker 2: percent quarterback, it could it could be the doomsday for Jacksonville.

188
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 2: I mean, the whole dynamic of the play us getting

189
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,400

226
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 2: The Chicago Bears have taken an early seven to nothing

227
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:52,680
Speaker 2: lead against Chris's Detroit Lions. Chris, give us an update.

228
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 2: What the heck is going on with your Lions right now?

229
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 2: Down to the Bears.

230
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:01,840
Speaker 8: It's an early game, so first off, so game has

231
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 8: played in four quarters. I will say the Lions are

232
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 8: still having trouble with the defense. A lot of it

233
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:09,679
Speaker 8: comes back to just a form with the defense right now.

234
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 8: Losing Alee McNeil up on the defensive line for the

235
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:16,320
Speaker 8: year he went to ir this week is just going

236
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 8: to be a huge.

237
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 2: Problem for it.

238
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 8: And linebackers and dbs for the Lions just haven't really

239
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 8: been making tackles. Nobody's been on assignment for a lot

240
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:27,680
Speaker 8: of things, and it's just some very odd breakdowns. Usually

241
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:29,680
Speaker 8: in the last two years, we've seen the Lions defense

242
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 8: get better as the year has gone on, and it's

243
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 8: been kind of the opposite as this season has grown.

244
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 2: All Right, Well, they dig an early hole and Richie,

245
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 2: how about Jake Browning and the Bengals? Seven nothing laid

246
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:42,440
Speaker 2: on the Colts. Jake Browning, who was lights out last

247
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 2: week against Jacksonville. How's this for an opening four eighty

248
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 2: nine yards and a fifty four yard touchdown past to

249
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 2: Chase brown This.

250
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 3: Is an incredible start and follow up to what we

251
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:56,719
Speaker 3: saw week ago. Jake Browning can play. Yeah, okay, So

252
00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:02,440
Speaker 3: what my thought process was when we saw Cincinnati with

253
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:04,960
Speaker 3: an injured Joe Burrow at the start of the season,

254
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:08,200
Speaker 3: they looked very average.

255
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:10,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, they couldn't get the ball down the field.

256
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 3: Joe Burrow exactly. They couldn't. They couldn't threaten the deep

257
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 3: part of the defense. He wasn't mobile. They looked very

258
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:20,560
Speaker 3: average with an injured Joe Burrow. As he got better,

259
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:23,080
Speaker 3: so did the Bengals. Obviously, they went on that mid

260
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:25,839
Speaker 3: season run and then Joe Burrow gets knocked out for

261
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:27,840
Speaker 3: the ear and you assume the hopes of the season

262
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:31,719
Speaker 3: are going to go down the tubes because what percentage

263
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 3: of Joe Burrow is Jake Browning? Right, Because at fifty

264
00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:37,680
Speaker 3: percent of Joe Burrow, and I'm talking about injury in

265
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 3: the beginning of the season, the Cincinnati Bengals looked really,

266
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:44,320
Speaker 3: really average. Well, Jake Browning is a lot closer to

267
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 3: Joe Burrow.

268
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 1: Than we thought.

269
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 3: Now, I'm not saying he is elite, I'm not saying

270
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:52,840
Speaker 3: he's a top tier quarterback. I'm not going to, you know,

271
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 3: bet the farm that Jake Browning leads the Cincinnati Bengals

272
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:58,320
Speaker 3: to an AFC championship game.

273
00:13:58,520 --> 00:13:59,680
Speaker 1: But this dude can play.

274
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:01,960
Speaker 2: Oh, he can play, There's no question about that. And

275
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,840
Speaker 2: he's red hot to start this game. Bengals early seven

276
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:08,320
Speaker 2: to nothing lead against the Colts. The Falcons have just

277
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 2: gotten a field goal to tie up their game with

278
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,560
Speaker 2: the Buccaneers. And again, this is a battle in that

279
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 2: woeful NFC South. And speaking of the South, the Saints

280
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 2: and Panthers are going at it as well. So big

281
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 2: games there, Saints and the Course at five and seven,

282
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 2: Bucks at five and seven, and the Falcons a top

283
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 2: that division at six and six. And how about the

284
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 2: Rams early three to nothing lead on the road against

285
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 2: the Ravens. Obviously big underdogs today on the road against Baltimore.

286
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 2: But I predicted the Rams would be the worst team

287
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 2: in the league this year and they've been anything. But

288
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 2: they're six and six right now. And I last night

289
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 2: doing my LATV thing, Matthew Stafford just talked about his coach,

290
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 2: Sean McVay and how much he is a big part

291
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 2: of just getting the mindset of a Rams team that

292
00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 2: really came in with so many question marks whether they

293
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 2: could turn this thing around. They didn't make a lot

294
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 2: of offseason moves, so they pretty much had to put

295
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 2: it together with what they had left over from a

296
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 2: disastrous season last year. And they've been more than respectable, Richie.

297
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, more than respectable, is right. Look, I told

298
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 3: you at the start of the season, I think this

299
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:21,680
Speaker 3: Rams team is being diminished way more than they deserve.

300
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 3: This is a Super Bowl winning franchise from only a

301
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 3: couple of years ago, and by the way, a franchise

302
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 3: that appeared in a Super Bowl a couple of years

303
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 3: prior to that.

304
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 1: You know.

305
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 3: So I look at what the Rams have been and

306
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 3: done over the past bunch of years and say, well, you.

307
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 1: Have a lot of what you need to be great. Right.

308
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 3: You have an all world, all everything defender and he's

309
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 3: in one of the more influential positions on the football field.

310
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 3: You have great receivers, Okay, and Pukin Naku was a

311
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 3: good surprise. But Cooper Cup coming back and being healthy

312
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 3: even though he had the hamstring to start the season,

313
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 3: and I said, if Matthew Stafford can stay healthy for

314
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 3: the majority already of the season with a coach like

315
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 3: Sean McVay, who you have to believe is elite. Well,

316
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 3: they're gonna put together a good season, not great, but

317
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 3: could they contend for a playoff spot?

318
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:11,119
Speaker 1: Absolutely?

319
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 3: And here we are, like you said, even record late

320
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 3: in the season, still postseason prospects in front of them.

321
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 3: This would be an enormous win if they could take

322
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 3: down the Ravens in Baltimore.

323
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 1: And right now they lead three to nothing.

324
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 2: All right, A couple of young quarterbacks to talk about.

325
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 2: Bryce Young just threw an interception. Actually it was almost

326
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 2: like a fumble interception. He got hit in the pocket

327
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 2: as he was throwing. The ball lands in the Saints' hands.

328
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 2: So the Saints have the ball the thirty five yard line.

329
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 2: The Carolina situation is bad. The New York Jets situation

330
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:47,280
Speaker 2: is worse. What a week for the Jets. Now, the

331
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 2: reports are that Zach Wilson has been told he will

332
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 2: be traded after the season. I don't know who's going

333
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 2: to trade for him. He as a fully guaranteed eleven

334
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 2: million on the books for twenty twenty four. Who's going

335
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 2: to take that on for a guy that it hasn't

336
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 2: even proven that he's a capable backup quarterback in this league.

337
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:06,680
Speaker 2: But he is starting today for the Jets and his

338
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 2: opening drive forward for four for forty nine yards, which

339
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 2: also brings up the Aaron Rodgers situation. And you know,

340
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:14,920
Speaker 2: to talk about whether or not he would come back

341
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,960
Speaker 2: this year considering everything that's been going down with the

342
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 2: Jets really all season long. Does he really want to

343
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:25,159
Speaker 2: be a part of this organization? Aaron Rodgers? Is this

344
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:27,919
Speaker 2: really where he wants to be for the balance of

345
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 2: his career, because if he has any time left, maybe

346
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:34,399
Speaker 2: he should be the one saying, hey, it's been fun,

347
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 2: but maybe I should take my talents elsewhere.

348
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:42,440
Speaker 3: Well, Aaron Rodgers appreciates the spotlight. He likes getting his

349
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:46,680
Speaker 3: word out, and he's building a brand, there's no question

350
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:50,480
Speaker 3: about it. I Mean, his weekly visits on Pat McAfee's

351
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 3: show is a pretty good example of the you know,

352
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:57,200
Speaker 3: the it supports what I just said about him liking

353
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:03,119
Speaker 3: his media presence to be. Yeah, Like, he's in media

354
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 3: market number one and he has an organization who has

355
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:10,200
Speaker 3: kowtowed to virtually every single one of his requests. I mean,

356
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 3: look at that roster. There's at least seven, maybe eight

357
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:19,480
Speaker 3: signings that he's directly responsible for this guy has almost

358
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 3: complete control over the direction of this franchise for this

359
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 3: year and next. And I yeah, I think I think

360
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:30,640
Speaker 3: he would be very satisfied staying in New York. I'm

361
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 3: not sure if you will. I think I think though,

362
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:36,159
Speaker 3: that this was as much a part of his post

363
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:39,680
Speaker 3: career plan as it was about chasing a Super Bowl

364
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 3: before he finishes up or wraps up his career. If

365
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:45,119
Speaker 3: he can do it in New York like, think about

366
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 3: this also, especially with the team he's playing for. You know,

367
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:51,399
Speaker 3: he's not doing it where Eli did it. He's the

368
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:55,560
Speaker 3: Jets haven't had a Super Bowl victory since Joe Nameth.

369
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:58,640
Speaker 3: So if he can do it in New York, my goodness,

370
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:00,360
Speaker 3: that will blast him off to a.

371
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:03,359
Speaker 2: Completely little role. Don Does this team look like that?

372
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:06,680
Speaker 2: The addition of a then forty year old Aaron Rodgers

373
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 2: is going to make a Super Bowl run.

374
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 1: Healthy Aaron Rodgers this season? This Jets Ross.

375
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 2: What happened to all that offensive young talent that we

376
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:17,159
Speaker 2: were talking about a year ago? What happened to him?

377
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 2: What happened to Dalvin Cook?

378
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 3: You don't have a quarterback? Dalvin Cook is an afterthought now.

379
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:22,840
Speaker 3: Brice Hall was supposed to be.

380
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:24,879
Speaker 2: How did he become an after thought?

381
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:28,359
Speaker 3: He was always going to be the second punch to

382
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 3: Brecee Hall.

383
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:33,160
Speaker 2: He's a four straight Pro Bowls, were eleven hundred plus yards,

384
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 2: so the Vikings and he becomes an afterthought to Brice Hall.

385
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:41,639
Speaker 3: It's a bizarre comparison. Brice Hall was a great and

386
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 3: I mean had a great rookie season. You assume that

387
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:47,240
Speaker 3: he's going to be your starting running back in twenty

388
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 3: twenty three.

389
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 1: Would you argue with that?

390
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:51,480
Speaker 3: At Dalvin Cook was signed as a free agent light

391
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 3: in camp if I'm remembering correctly, Like, of course he

392
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 3: was going to be a number two back. You know,

393
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 3: you look at Wilson at receiver, you look at Conklin,

394
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:01,560
Speaker 3: you look at some of their other options at tight end,

395
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 3: Like the Jets have a decent enough offense with the

396
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 3: addition of Aaron Rodgers to make a real significant run.

397
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers isn't there though, and he hasn't been since

398
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:11,440
Speaker 3: four plays.

399
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:13,960
Speaker 1: Into the season. That defense is punishing.

400
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 3: If Aaron Rodgers was a part of this conversation, the

401
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 3: Jets would be a playoff.

402
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:19,879
Speaker 1: Team this year. But he's not.

403
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:23,120
Speaker 3: Now, I understand what you're saying forty year old Aaron Rodgers,

404
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:25,920
Speaker 3: can they do it well? I mean, just go see

405
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 3: what the Tampa Bay Buccaneers did with Tom Brady when

406
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 3: he was approaching or at forty years old.

407
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:34,680
Speaker 2: Huh. Again, I don't buy into it. You're talking a

408
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:37,639
Speaker 2: good game here, Rich, but I'm on the outside looking in.

409
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:41,680
Speaker 2: That organization is a mess, absolute mess. There's a reason

410
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 2: why they chat with that have been so bad for

411
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:47,199
Speaker 2: so long, why they've been forced to take quarterbacks with

412
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 2: early picks in the draft over and over again. They

413
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:53,400
Speaker 2: make more bad decisions than good decisions. And if I'm

414
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers and I'm coming to the obvious end of

415
00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 2: my career, does he really want to come back next

416
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:02,680
Speaker 2: year be on a you know, a six and eleven

417
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 2: Jets team to wrap up his career. Because even with

418
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 2: the talent they have defensively and all these skill guys,

419
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:13,480
Speaker 2: there's something about certain organizations that figure out ways to

420
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:15,919
Speaker 2: f it up. And that's the Jets the end.

421
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 1: We know this.

422
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:19,680
Speaker 2: They're not alone. There are other organizations where you say, wow,

423
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:21,879
Speaker 2: it seems like all the pieces are in place, and

424
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:24,680
Speaker 2: yet they find a way to screw it up. That's

425
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:25,680
Speaker 2: who the Jets are.

426
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:27,920
Speaker 3: I don't disagree with that at all. I think they

427
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:31,400
Speaker 3: got very unlucky with what happened to Aaron Rodgers. Obviously,

428
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 3: you can't predict those things.

429
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:35,080
Speaker 2: It only happens to organizations like the Jets.

430
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:37,919
Speaker 3: It does seem like there are snake bitten organizations. I

431
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 3: don't disagree with that. And bad luck seems to follow

432
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 3: certain organizations more than others. And this is in all sports,

433
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:47,120
Speaker 3: it's not just relegated to football. But if Aaron Rodgers

434
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:50,440
Speaker 3: is healthy this season, and I realize, you know, if

435
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 3: it's we live in the world of hypotheticals all the time,

436
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 3: and it does, you know, favors, because the reality is

437
00:21:56,640 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 3: what the Jets are without him is a very very

438
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:04,399
Speaker 3: mediocre team with and they're completely bereft of talent at

439
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:07,679
Speaker 3: the quarterback position, and Zach Wilson has proven to be

440
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 3: a guy who it's never worked in New York with.

441
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:13,120
Speaker 3: They need to move on. They need to wash their

442
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 3: hands of this situation again like they did with Sam

443
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:17,960
Speaker 3: Darnold a couple of years back, And they need to

444
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:22,280
Speaker 3: move on. And their hopes are really and resoundingly left

445
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:23,680
Speaker 3: in the hands of Aaron Rodgers.

446
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:25,960
Speaker 1: And I would do. I agree with what you said.

447
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 1: I know why.

448
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:29,200
Speaker 3: Aaron wants to come back this season, but if I'm

449
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 3: the New York Jets, I'm praying to the football gods

450
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:34,399
Speaker 3: that he doesn't try to make a return this season

451
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:38,199
Speaker 3: because it's only going to potentially damage his opportunity to

452
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 3: help us win further, because it's it's a quick timeline

453
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 3: to turn around off an achilles surgery and try to

454
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 3: play the same season.

455
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:48,679
Speaker 2: All right, let's find out what is trending right now.

456
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:52,480
Speaker 2: And Monzie of course strutting around with her ties to

457
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:55,360
Speaker 2: the Dodgers organization about.

458
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:55,880
Speaker 1: The signing show.

459
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:57,879
Speaker 2: Hey, Tony, by the way, you see the Angels stripped

460
00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 2: his didn't waste any time. That thing was stripped down yesterday.

461
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:09,480
Speaker 9: Yeah, feting, yes, But I mean we had this conversation

462
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 9: before the show.

463
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:13,240
Speaker 2: Now, you're a Dodgers fan as well, and I have

464
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 2: been as well. There's been a lot of frustration that

465
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:18,399
Speaker 2: a team that gets in the playoffs every year, especially

466
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 2: the last two years, losing the first round to a

467
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 2: division rival you dominated during the regular season.

468
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 10: It's been rough.

469
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 2: I mean, now, when you have a seven hundred million

470
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:29,679
Speaker 2: dollar price tag attached to you, you're the focus of

471
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:32,199
Speaker 2: the team. It's not Mookie Betts, it's not Freddie Freeman,

472
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:35,800
Speaker 2: it's not Clayton Kershaw. It's now about show Hey Otani.

473
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 2: And if they fall short still with Otani.

474
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:40,600
Speaker 10: It's gonna suck.

475
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:42,160
Speaker 2: He's going to feel the heat.

476
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:46,199
Speaker 10: Yeah, you know, I wonder how much. Obviously he's going

477
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:46,960
Speaker 10: to have the pressure.

478
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 9: But we know this coming season he is not one

479
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:51,399
Speaker 9: hundred percent healthy.

480
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:52,919
Speaker 10: We are taking here, he's.

481
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:54,639
Speaker 2: Not pitching this exactly, so he's going to be a

482
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 2: dah right.

483
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 10: And that's it.

484
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 9: And we know that once he comes back one hundred

485
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:01,360
Speaker 9: percent healthy, he's a two way star.

486
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:02,280
Speaker 10: He's a unicorn.

487
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 9: I don't know if the expectation is as high this

488
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 9: year as it will be in two years when he

489
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 9: is fully healthy, is what I'm saying.

490
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:15,840
Speaker 2: He is fully healthy. If two elbow surgeries is not

491
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:17,680
Speaker 2: easy to come back from as.

492
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:19,600
Speaker 9: A pitcher, yes, but I'm going to be the optimistic

493
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:21,080
Speaker 9: one since you're the pessimistic one.

494
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 2: Well, I'm just saying, look at this guy has done

495
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 2: things that have never been done before. Yes, and I

496
00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:29,080
Speaker 2: have fully acknowledged that there's never been a player like

497
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 2: show Hey Otani, So maybe he is that one. Exception,

498
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:34,040
Speaker 2: maybe as hard as he throws the ball that can

499
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:37,119
Speaker 2: come back from not one but two elbow surgeries and

500
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 2: still be throwing one hundred miles an hour.

501
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 9: And that's what we're hoping for. Yes, right, that's what

502
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 9: we're hoping for. Let's check in on the NFL. There

503
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:46,480
Speaker 9: was not as much we started scoring, but it wasn't

504
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:48,439
Speaker 9: like last week. I feel like last week we just

505
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:52,400
Speaker 9: had a ton of scoring early on compared to this week.

506
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 9: We've got a tie game that is about to start

507
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:56,560
Speaker 9: in the second quarter. It's the Buccaneers and the Falcons,

508
00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:59,480
Speaker 9: tied at three apiece. The Bears have extended their lead

509
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:01,400
Speaker 9: over the line with a field goal, so it's ten

510
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:04,639
Speaker 9: zero still about ninety seconds to go in the first quarter.

511
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:06,480
Speaker 10: The quarterback with.

512
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:09,920
Speaker 9: The most yards right now in the air is Jake Browning.

513
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:12,960
Speaker 9: That is right, eighty nine yards one touchdown. The Bengals

514
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:15,600
Speaker 9: are beating the Colts seven zero with about a minute

515
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 9: and fifteen seconds to go.

516
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:17,920
Speaker 10: The Colts were in the red zone.

517
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:19,919
Speaker 9: They had a chance and they could not get a

518
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:22,040
Speaker 9: touchdown out of it. And then we move on to

519
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 9: the Saints and the Panthers. This is scoreless late in

520
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 9: the first Texans and Jets are scoreless and they're about

521
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:27,640
Speaker 9: to start the second quarter.

522
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 10: But you mentioned that Zach.

523
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:32,320
Speaker 9: Wilson not a terrible start to Zach Wilson six of

524
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 9: six for sixty yards, so not.

525
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:35,840
Speaker 10: A terrible start.

526
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:36,200
Speaker 1: CJ.

527
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:39,160
Speaker 9: Stroud four of six twenty four yards for the Texans.

528
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:41,639
Speaker 9: Something to keep on eye on with Houston wide receiver

529
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:45,480
Speaker 9: Nico Collins is questionable to return with a calf injury.

530
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:48,960
Speaker 9: And remember they're already playing without Tank Dell, so it's

531
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:51,160
Speaker 9: something to keep an eye on. And the Rams are

532
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:54,399
Speaker 9: beating the Ravens in Baltimore three zero late in the

533
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:55,040
Speaker 9: first quarter.

534
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 10: For the games there are still to come.

535
00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 9: Seahawks quarterback Gino Smith game time decision against the forty

536
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:03,239
Speaker 9: niners Cowboys. Michael Parsons battling the flu, so you might

537
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:06,080
Speaker 9: have the flu game. He was added to the injury report,

538
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:08,440
Speaker 9: but he is expected to play against the Eagles.

539
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:11,080
Speaker 2: Back to you guys, all right, mon see great stuff

540
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:12,880
Speaker 2: and we will check in with you a little bit

541
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:16,160
Speaker 2: later on once AGAD. This is Fox Sports Red Zone Radio,

547
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 2: you know, the Lions are still sitting at nine and three,

548
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:43,360
Speaker 2: comfortably ahead in their division. But we've been talking about

549
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:47,119
Speaker 2: this progression during the season, and after what the forty

550
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:49,760
Speaker 2: nine ers did to the Eagles last week in Philly,

551
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 2: now we're back to where we started the season with

552
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:55,880
Speaker 2: the forty nine ers. Like when the forty nine ers

553
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 2: are healthy as they are now, like they were early

554
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 2: in the year, they're just a cut above everybody else.

555
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:07,360
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I mean they are the Eagles. I'd pick

556
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 2: a team nobody is on the same level as the

557
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:16,440
Speaker 2: forty nine ers when they're healthy, when Brock Party has

558
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:18,119
Speaker 2: all his weapons. By the way, all of a sudden,

559
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:20,400
Speaker 2: brock Party is the favorite to win MVP. It's amazing

560
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:23,720
Speaker 2: how that changes. Well yeah, well, and he's a betting

561
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:24,400
Speaker 2: favor right now.

562
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:26,840
Speaker 1: Let's be very honest with each other.

563
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:30,480
Speaker 3: I think it took. I think it took everybody who

564
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:35,480
Speaker 3: watches and observes football seeing Brock go through a little

565
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:37,720
Speaker 3: bit of a slump and then coming back out of

566
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:40,600
Speaker 3: it to trust or to believe him a little bit more.

567
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 1: This is very typical of our society.

568
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:46,480
Speaker 3: People love to tear somebody down and then build them

569
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:49,159
Speaker 3: back up. It's just the way it works, right, So

570
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:52,639
Speaker 3: Brock had to go through some adversity. He was dinged

571
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:55,120
Speaker 3: up by the way, the entire way. It wasn't just

572
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:58,399
Speaker 3: Trent Williams. It wasn't just Debo, wasn't just Christian McCaffrey.

573
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:02,160
Speaker 3: He too had a and cusion. The bye week really

574
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:05,080
Speaker 3: helped this team bounce back from a health standpoint, and

575
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 3: now they're back on that warpath that you mentioned they

576
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:10,560
Speaker 3: started the season with. And I think that adversity really

577
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:18,200
Speaker 3: did help people see the individual standout impressive play that

578
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:22,600
Speaker 3: Brock Purdy has really played with since he's taken over

579
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:26,720
Speaker 3: at quarterback for this franchise. There are very few quarterbacks

580
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:29,800
Speaker 3: in league history that have done what he's done in

581
00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 3: the short amount of time that he's done it or

582
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:36,240
Speaker 3: he's doing it, and I think it's high time that

583
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:40,400
Speaker 3: people start respecting and praising him for it and not

584
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:43,800
Speaker 3: just crediting all of the talent around him and his

585
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:47,160
Speaker 3: coaching staff. Because we didn't do that with Patrick Mahomes.

586
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 3: People were pretty quick to crown Patrick Mahomes. I guess

587
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 3: because he was a first round talent.

588
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:53,760
Speaker 1: I guess.

589
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 3: I mean maybe because there was a little bit more

590
00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:59,239
Speaker 3: of an awareness of him coming out of college than

591
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:02,200
Speaker 3: there was a Brock. But Brock perty has played just

592
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:05,760
Speaker 3: as good or better than Patrick Mahomes through that opening stretch.

593
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 3: It's pretty impressive what he's done.

594
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:10,640
Speaker 2: Buccaneers have taken a ten to three lead over the

595
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 2: Falcons on a short run by Baker Mayfield. Now keep

596
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:18,840
Speaker 2: in mind, if the Buccaneers win in Atlanta today, they

597
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 2: will then be tied at six and seven. The Saints

598
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:25,560
Speaker 2: are home against the pathetic Panthers. They now have a

599
00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:28,480
Speaker 2: first and goal at the Carolina ten yard line, So

600
00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:31,880
Speaker 2: we could end up the day with three teams at

601
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:36,480
Speaker 2: six and seven. Somebody has to represent that NFC South.

602
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:39,400
Speaker 2: But it gets back to the whole situation with Baker

603
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 2: Mayfield in Tampa Bay. If they were to win that

604
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 2: division title, even if it's with let's say nine and

605
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:49,520
Speaker 2: eight or eight and nine record, is that enough for

606
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:52,440
Speaker 2: the Bucks to stay with Baker Mayfield or are you

607
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:54,840
Speaker 2: still desperately looking for your next quarterback.

608
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:57,880
Speaker 3: Well, it puts you in a situation where, because of

609
00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:01,640
Speaker 3: your record, you have to either the hard decision if

610
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:04,280
Speaker 3: you think now's the time the iron's hot, we have

611
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:08,440
Speaker 3: to strike, to go into the draft and gamble and

612
00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 3: move up in the draft to find a quarterback who

613
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:15,400
Speaker 3: you can groom into your franchise quarterback, your starter for

614
00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 3: years to come.

615
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:20,360
Speaker 1: Or you say to yourself, like, hey, that was Baker's first.

616
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:24,040
Speaker 3: Year and he came, he came on board and replaced

617
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:28,360
Speaker 3: Tom Brady, and he played well. He got us back

618
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:31,240
Speaker 3: into the postseason. So we got to give this guy

619
00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:34,760
Speaker 3: a fair shake here. Now, a full season under his belt,

620
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:37,520
Speaker 3: a full training camp under his belt, Let's see what

621
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:41,280
Speaker 3: Baker can do in twenty twenty four. If I'm a

622
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:45,320
Speaker 3: front office guy in Tampa Bay and that's my experience

623
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:49,280
Speaker 3: watching this team and watching Baker Mayfield, that's what I'm

624
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:50,920
Speaker 3: fighting for. I'm saying, hey, we got to give this

625
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 3: guy another chance. Now. We need to do it on

626
00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 3: as cheap of a contract as we possibly can.

627
00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 1: If we need to extend him. I'm not sure what

628
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 1: his contract situation is in Tampa Bay right now, but yeah,

629
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 1: that's what I would be fighting for if he gets

630
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:05,880
Speaker 1: Tampa into the postseason.

631
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:08,120
Speaker 2: Ravens take a seven to three lead over the Rams

632
00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:12,120
Speaker 2: on a Lamar Jackson to Isaiah likely a touchdown, So

633
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:13,920
Speaker 2: the Ravens up seven to three, And of course the

634
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 2: Ravens right now are battling the Dolphins for the number

635
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 2: one seed, which brings me to the next question I

636
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:24,960
Speaker 2: have for you with your gambling shows and everything else

637
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:29,000
Speaker 2: and keeping your eye on point spreads. The Chiefs are

638
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:32,360
Speaker 2: home against the Bills today. This line was at one,

639
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:36,600
Speaker 2: Chiefs at one and a half, and I'm like, whoaha, whoa, whoa, whoa.

640
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 2: The Bills have been staggering and they're on the road

641
00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:44,320
Speaker 2: against the Chiefs. Why aren't the Chiefs three or four

642
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:47,880
Speaker 2: point favorites at home? How are they barely favored in

643
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 2: this game at home against a struggling Buffalo Bills team.

644
00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:56,680
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, if we're going to talk about staggering,

645
00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:59,160
Speaker 3: how about the Chiefs laest week we saw them against

646
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 3: the Green Bay Pack. They lose twenty seven to nineteen.

647
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:07,720
Speaker 3: They beat up on a bad Raiders team, is the

648
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:10,280
Speaker 3: way I would characterize it, an up and down Raiders team.

649
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:12,840
Speaker 3: I guess the week prior to that, But If we're

650
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 3: looking at the most recent example, the Bills went toe

651
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:20,080
Speaker 3: to toe with Philadelphia and easily could have beaten that

652
00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 3: team and piled up a ton of points. The only

653
00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 3: thing the Bills did wrong was committed too many penalties.

654
00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 3: Otherwise the Bills would have won that football game against

655
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:34,000
Speaker 3: the Eagles. So five hundred yards of total offense, a

656
00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:38,440
Speaker 3: relatively clean day from Josh Allen, a ton of conversions

657
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:39,520
Speaker 3: on third and fourth down.

658
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 1: Yeah.

659
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:42,880
Speaker 3: I mean, the Bills look more ready for this game

660
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:45,240
Speaker 3: heading into this week than the Chiefs do. And the

661
00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:48,160
Speaker 3: Chiefs have some key losses in terms of injuries on

662
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:48,800
Speaker 3: the defense.

663
00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:52,200
Speaker 2: That line just smells I got it to go, chief.

664
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:54,240
Speaker 2: The Bills are one and four on the road this year.

665
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:54,760
Speaker 1: Yep.

666
00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:58,080
Speaker 2: Chiefs always seem to play well at home. It's a

667
00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:00,440
Speaker 2: big game for both these teams. If the Chiefs lose

668
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:03,600
Speaker 2: this game, their chances to be in the one seed.

669
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:07,200
Speaker 2: Because remember Patrick Mahomes has never had a road playoff game.

670
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:07,600
Speaker 1: Yep.

671
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, technically he did one. One of his Super

672
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:12,520
Speaker 2: Bowls was a road game against the Buccaneers that did

673
00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:15,560
Speaker 2: not go well, obviously, but that was a neutral Syche game.

674
00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:17,960
Speaker 2: He's never had a road game. So, I mean, can

675
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:20,880
Speaker 2: the Chiefs navigate the playoffs having to play on the road.

676
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:25,000
Speaker 2: They lose today, their chances of being a one seed

677
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:30,320
Speaker 2: are remote, and I just there's something about that line

678
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:33,800
Speaker 2: that just it screams like, please give me the Chiefs.

679
00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:35,440
Speaker 2: I only have to give up a point point and

680
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:38,239
Speaker 2: a half to the Bills. That you're right, I mean,

681
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:41,280
Speaker 2: the Bills look better recently. That's gonna that's a really

682
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:42,400
Speaker 2: interesting game coming up.

683
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:45,400
Speaker 1: It's an interesting line. It's an interesting game.

684
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:47,880
Speaker 3: I mean, if you're gonna take the Chiefs or the

685
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:49,880
Speaker 3: Bills for that, and if you're gonna take the points

686
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:51,400
Speaker 3: of the Bills, you may as well bet the money

687
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:54,000
Speaker 3: line too. You know, if you're gonna take the Chiefs

688
00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:56,040
Speaker 3: covering their points, you may as well take the money.

689
00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:58,960
Speaker 3: It's it's it's basically a pick them.

690
00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:01,960
Speaker 1: I I don't know. Oh, let's put it this way.

691
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:06,400
Speaker 3: Nobody knows that or can prognosticate the outcome here. But

692
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:11,560
Speaker 3: if I have Aleen, myleen is decidedly Bills, because the

693
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:14,600
Speaker 3: Bills need it more. This is one of those situations

694
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:17,200
Speaker 3: where if the Bills lose this game, and I understand

695
00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:20,239
Speaker 3: all the reasons why the Chiefs needed too, But the

696
00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:24,239
Speaker 3: Bill season is virtually over. I mean, they've got a

697
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:26,439
Speaker 3: lot of makeup work to do in a very short

698
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 3: amount of time. I don't know if there's enough time

699
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:32,560
Speaker 3: left for them. So I'm taking the Bills in this one.

700
00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:33,920
Speaker 3: Desperation wins the.

701
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:37,600
Speaker 2: Day the Chiefs lose and the Broncos beat the Chargers. Today,

702
00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:40,200
Speaker 2: Chiefs would only have a one game lead in the

703
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:43,520
Speaker 2: AFC West. All right, we continue on here, a lot

704
00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:45,640
Speaker 2: of action going on where at the end of the

705
00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:48,960
Speaker 2: first quarters and most of these games, seven games going

706
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 2: on in the NFL. For everything you need, keep it

707
00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:54,839

Speaker 2: it's always a wonderful time right here on Fox Sports

709
00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:01,200
Speaker 2: Red Zone Radio, Week fourteen of the the NFL. Steve Harbin,

710
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:04,680
Speaker 2: Rich Ornberger with you. All right, let's get a little

711
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:07,040
Speaker 2: preview right now of a game coming up later between

712
00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:09,480
Speaker 2: the Vikings and the Raiders.

713
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:17,480
Speaker 4: Now it's time for the NFL out Fox Focus.

714
00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:20,600
Speaker 2: He'll be calling the play by play for Fox this afternoon.

715
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:24,520
Speaker 2: Kevin Coogler is joining us right now, Kevin, interesting matchup

716
00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:27,480
Speaker 2: for these two teams. Let's start with the Vikings right now.

717
00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:30,960
Speaker 2: Joshua Dobbs was a great story for a couple of weeks,

718
00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:34,160
Speaker 2: but after that four interception game and that ugly loss

719
00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:36,880
Speaker 2: of the Bears. I know Jefferson is due back for

720
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:40,160
Speaker 2: the Vikings, but where did the Vikings stand right now?

721
00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:44,200
Speaker 2: In their trust the Dobbs can continue to least keep

722
00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:46,919
Speaker 2: them in the conversation for a postseason run.

723
00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:51,120
Speaker 11: Well, they're giving him another opportunity today. Kevin O'Connell spent

724
00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:54,400
Speaker 11: the buy going over every single play, every single snap

725
00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:56,719
Speaker 11: that Joshua Dobbs has had this year, not only with

726
00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:59,240
Speaker 11: the Vikings but with Arizona and really trying to figure

727
00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:02,680
Speaker 11: out different ways that they can utilize Dobbs, not only

728
00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:04,839
Speaker 11: in the passing game, but in the run game. I'd

729
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:06,799
Speaker 11: expect to see a little more of Dobbs using his

730
00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:09,479
Speaker 11: legs today in this game against the Raiders, trying to

731
00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:12,439
Speaker 11: utilize all of his talents. But I do know this,

732
00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:15,719
Speaker 11: if the Vikings fall behind early while the game is

733
00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:18,160
Speaker 11: still close, don't be surprised to see Nick Mullens get

734
00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:20,759
Speaker 11: some snaps if things go poorly for Joshua Dobbs out

735
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:21,120
Speaker 11: of the gate.

736
00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:25,080
Speaker 3: How big of a distraction is the West Phillips arrest

737
00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:29,440
Speaker 3: He was charged with a DWI. He flew to Vegas

738
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:32,759
Speaker 3: with the team, but as the Vikings offensive coordinator, with

739
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:34,960
Speaker 3: some of the things they've been working on with the

740
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:38,360
Speaker 3: week off, how big of a distraction is this for

741
00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:40,000
Speaker 3: the team heading into this matchup.

742
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:42,840
Speaker 11: I don't get the sense that it's too big of

743
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:46,200
Speaker 11: a distraction at this point. Based on the information that's

744
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:49,320
Speaker 11: come out. The Vikings clearly feel like this is something

745
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:52,840
Speaker 11: that they need to just deal with with West Phillips

746
00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:55,920
Speaker 11: in person, and that's what they're intending to do. So

747
00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:58,160
Speaker 11: I don't get the sense from anybody around the Vikings,

748
00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:00,360
Speaker 11: and we've talked with them all week, that this is

749
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:03,279
Speaker 11: something that's going to hamper what they're doing today. Chris

750
00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:05,640
Speaker 11: Realo Kevin O'Connell is the play caller, so from that

751
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:09,480
Speaker 11: standpoint and the communication with Joshua Dobbs, nothing will be

752
00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:12,239
Speaker 11: impacted by that, at least as far as the game

753
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:12,760
Speaker 11: is concerned.

754
00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:15,440
Speaker 2: Once again, we're live from the ti iraq dot com studios.

755
00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:18,360
Speaker 2: Kevin the Raiders, you know, they make the change to

756
00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:21,000
Speaker 2: coach Antonio Appierce gets a couple of wins. Now, they've

757
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:23,400
Speaker 2: had a couple of losses. They were competitive, obviously on

758
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:26,200
Speaker 2: the road against the Dolphins cheez took care of business

759
00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:30,040
Speaker 2: last week. What's the buzz around the Raiders organization? Well,

760
00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:33,560
Speaker 2: Pierce have an opportunity to keep this job, or are

761
00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:35,560
Speaker 2: they already of the mindset of the looking for their

762
00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:36,320
Speaker 2: next head coach.

763
00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:39,120
Speaker 11: I think they're looking for their next head coach, but

764
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:40,680
Speaker 11: I think he is one of the guys that they're

765
00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:43,480
Speaker 11: looking at as a potential next head coach. And I

766
00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:45,880
Speaker 11: don't know that it's necessarily if you go out and

767
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:48,000
Speaker 11: win the remaining games, you're going to be the new

768
00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:50,360
Speaker 11: head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders. I think they

769
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:52,320
Speaker 11: want to see how he handles the team, how he

770
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:55,640
Speaker 11: handles these next five games. The players all love him.

771
00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:58,479
Speaker 11: He is definitely a player's coach, but obviously he doesn't

772
00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:01,160
Speaker 11: have a whole lot of experience as a head coach

773
00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:03,239
Speaker 11: at any level. High school was the only level he

774
00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:05,719
Speaker 11: was a head coach prior to getting his opportunity with

775
00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:08,320
Speaker 11: the Las Vegas Raiders, And it really creates an interesting

776
00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:11,799
Speaker 11: conundrum for the Raiders because you're looking at do they

777
00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:15,440
Speaker 11: play themselves out of a potential top ten pick that

778
00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:19,880
Speaker 11: could be a changing franchise pick if he wins games.

779
00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:21,799
Speaker 11: But he wants to win games so that he has

780
00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:23,799
Speaker 11: a chance to be the head coach for a team

781
00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:26,120
Speaker 11: that would then have a lower pick. It's a very

782
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:29,160
Speaker 11: interesting situation that the Raiders find themselves in the final

783
00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:29,720
Speaker 11: five games.

784
00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:33,560
Speaker 3: So Josh Dobbs focusing back on the Vikings for a

785
00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:36,799
Speaker 3: second has been excellent and then went to a little

786
00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:39,400
Speaker 3: bit of a trough. But now he gets Justin Jefferson

787
00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:44,200
Speaker 3: back and TJ. Hockinson. He's got weapons. How short of

788
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:46,359
Speaker 3: a leash do you think he has? Like if things

789
00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:49,600
Speaker 3: are going sideways, do you think it's possible we'll see

790
00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:50,280
Speaker 3: Jaron Hall.

791
00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:53,320
Speaker 11: I don't think we're going to see Jaron Hall today.

792
00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:55,239
Speaker 11: One of the things that Kevin O'Connell talked with us

793
00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:58,719
Speaker 11: about this week was when Jaren Hall gets the opportunity,

794
00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:01,000
Speaker 11: he is going to get the opportunity with a full

795
00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:03,320
Speaker 11: course of reps. He doesn't want to throw a rookie

796
00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:06,120
Speaker 11: into a situation where it's not going to be advantageous

797
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:07,480
Speaker 11: for the development.

798
00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:07,720
Speaker 1: Of his career.

799
00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:09,920
Speaker 11: And that's the old quarterback in Ken O'Connell coming out.

800
00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:11,600
Speaker 11: He doesn't want to throw a fifth round pick in

801
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:14,960
Speaker 11: and let him think when he could swim if he's

802
00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:17,640
Speaker 11: given an opportunity to do so. So I wouldn't expect

803
00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:20,399
Speaker 11: to see Jaren Hall today. If things go sideways, Nick

804
00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:23,440
Speaker 11: Mullins is likely the guy that would come in. I

805
00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:26,440
Speaker 11: don't know how sideway sideways is, but I do know

806
00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:28,560
Speaker 11: that if they're going to make a change in a

807
00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:31,560
Speaker 11: game that's starting to slip away, the change would come

808
00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:33,759
Speaker 11: when the game was still a winnable game. They're not

809
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:35,279
Speaker 11: going to wait till it gets out of hand to

810
00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:35,920
Speaker 11: pull the plug.

811
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:38,560
Speaker 2: Well, it's a game where a loser could walk away

812
00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:40,680
Speaker 2: with a final nail on the coffin as far as

813
00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:43,880
Speaker 2: their chances to get into the postseason, Kevin, we appreciate

814
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:45,960
Speaker 2: the time. Thanks for breaking the game down. We'll be

815
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:50,000
Speaker 2: watching O good Kevin Kogler. Johnny is there from Fox.

816
00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:54,480
Speaker 2: By the way, The Raiders next week actually have a

817
00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:57,120
Speaker 2: Thursday game at home against the Chargers and Rich I

818
00:39:57,160 --> 00:40:00,520
Speaker 2: will be at that game. My first trip to Allegiance Stadium,

819
00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:04,440
Speaker 2: taking my sons and my daughter's boyfriend. So I got

820
00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:06,800
Speaker 2: a twenty seven year old to twenty five year olds

821
00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:10,600
Speaker 2: and the old guy hanging in Vegas on a Thursday road.

822

Speaker 3: air through your hair.

824
00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:19,359
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, there's a movie about hangover. Yeah, it could

825
00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:21,160
Speaker 2: be that. It could be that. All right, coming up

826
00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:23,400
Speaker 2: on the other side, we're heading to halftime around the

827
00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:27,399
Speaker 2: National Football League. Seven games in progress. You know we're

Speaker 2: the way tire buying should be so in this Jaggs

842
00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:14,800
Speaker 2: Brown's matchup Joe Flacco is eight of thirteen, one hundred

843
00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:18,080
Speaker 2: and thirty two yards, two touchdowns and no picks. Trevor

844
00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:21,600
Speaker 2: Lawrence is six to thirteen forty six yards, no touchdowns

845
00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:24,800
Speaker 2: in a pick. Joe Flacco has a quarter pass the

846
00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:27,040
Speaker 2: ratio of one hundred and thirty five. Trevor Lawrence is

847
00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:30,840
Speaker 2: at twenty three. So obviously Lawrence is one hundred percent.

848
00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:34,200
Speaker 2: But let's get back to Joe Flacco, a man that

849
00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:38,080
Speaker 2: keep this in mind. Six times he led the Ravens

850
00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:42,080
Speaker 2: into the postseason, and in every one of those years

851
00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:44,399
Speaker 2: he won at least one playoff game, and of course

852
00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:47,560
Speaker 2: had that magical run to a super Bowl championship. So

853
00:41:47,719 --> 00:41:50,520
Speaker 2: Flacco stays healthy the rest of the year and the

854
00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:54,160
Speaker 2: Browns very much in contention for a playoff spot. How

855
00:41:54,239 --> 00:41:58,200
Speaker 2: much confidence do you have in Joe Flacco that he

856
00:41:58,239 --> 00:42:01,840
Speaker 2: could actually guide the Browns to a postseason victory.

857
00:42:02,719 --> 00:42:06,120
Speaker 3: I believe in Joe Flacco as long as he can

858
00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:07,680
Speaker 3: keep his hands on the wheel.

859
00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:09,360
Speaker 1: Look that he's driving a Ferrari.

860
00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:13,160
Speaker 3: I really mean that when I talk about this this

861
00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:17,000
Speaker 3: Browns roster, I think that this is arguably one of

862
00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:20,720
Speaker 3: the better rosters in football. If you look at that defense,

863
00:42:20,719 --> 00:42:23,160
Speaker 3: they're loaded. If you look at the offense, they definitely

864
00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:26,720
Speaker 3: have enough weapons for a talented quarterback to really guide

865
00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:28,960
Speaker 3: them through a season. Now they're kind of in the

866
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:31,480
Speaker 3: same boat as the New York Jets, right they were

867
00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:37,120
Speaker 3: really counting on Deshaun Watson to be what Deshaun Watson

868
00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:40,799
Speaker 3: is paid to be, which he hasn't been yet, you know,

869
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:42,120
Speaker 3: because of the suspension.

870
00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:43,399
Speaker 1: He was russy last year.

871
00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:45,919
Speaker 3: This year, due to injuries, he hasn't really been able

872
00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:49,040
Speaker 3: to perform. And I don't know if any of the

873
00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:53,440
Speaker 3: sexual assault allegations are still looming over him as he

874
00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:57,600
Speaker 3: continues to go on throughout and progress through his NFL career,

875
00:42:57,719 --> 00:43:00,600
Speaker 3: but he looks like a distracted football player when he's

876
00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:02,680
Speaker 3: out there. He doesn't look like the same player we

877
00:43:02,719 --> 00:43:06,520
Speaker 3: saw in Houston before all those allegations came out against him.

878
00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:10,520
Speaker 3: So I don't know if that's gonna end up being

879
00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:14,200
Speaker 3: the worst contract signed in the NFL, but it's trending

880
00:43:14,280 --> 00:43:17,680
Speaker 3: that way. And just like the Jets now, on the

881
00:43:17,719 --> 00:43:20,200
Speaker 3: other side of losing your quarterback for the year, you

882
00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:22,680
Speaker 3: kind of look hopeless, and then all of a sudden,

883
00:43:22,719 --> 00:43:26,440
Speaker 3: they signed Joe Flacco off the streets, and look, he's

884
00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:30,040
Speaker 3: played competent. He hasn't played great, but he's never played great.

885
00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:32,640
Speaker 3: He's a game manager. And if they can play with

886
00:43:32,719 --> 00:43:35,319
Speaker 3: the lead, if their defense can step up for them,

887
00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:39,120
Speaker 3: I could see the Browns conceivably winning a postseason game.

888
00:43:39,160 --> 00:43:42,000
Speaker 2: Think about this. In his Ravens days, this guy was

889
00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:45,840
Speaker 2: a starter, full time, sixteen games starter from his rookie

890
00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:49,120
Speaker 2: season on. He rarely ever missed the game. In fact,

891
00:43:49,120 --> 00:43:51,719
Speaker 2: he only missed six starts in twenty fifteen. Otherwise, he

892
00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:54,839
Speaker 2: started every game for ten years with the Ravens. They

893
00:43:54,880 --> 00:43:57,400
Speaker 2: had winning records in all but one of those years.

894
00:43:57,400 --> 00:44:00,239
Speaker 2: Five times they had double digit victories, six times they

895
00:44:00,239 --> 00:44:02,640
Speaker 2: were in the playoffs. And he never got a sniff

896
00:44:02,680 --> 00:44:06,000
Speaker 2: of a single Pro Bowl, not one. But he knows

897
00:44:06,040 --> 00:44:08,520
Speaker 2: how to win. And right now, as you said, he's

898
00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:11,120
Speaker 2: got some weapons in Cleveland and the Browns are taking

899
00:44:11,160 --> 00:44:13,680
Speaker 2: care of the Jaguars team that's trying to get by

900
00:44:14,160 --> 00:44:17,799
Speaker 2: on a less than healthy Trevor Lawrence, as evidenced by

901
00:44:17,880 --> 00:44:20,120
Speaker 2: just forty six yards passing by the way to see

902
00:44:20,120 --> 00:44:24,880
Speaker 2: Odell Beckham Junior just had a touchdown for the Ravens

903
00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:27,319
Speaker 2: for the Ravens to take a fourteen to ten lead

904
00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:30,840
Speaker 2: against the Rams. This was an amazing play. Lamark Jackson

905
00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:34,880
Speaker 2: sort of floated it up in the air and Odell

906
00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:37,440
Speaker 2: Beckham Junior had to turn his head a couple of

907
00:44:37,440 --> 00:44:40,960
Speaker 2: times to find the ball. He caught, the ball went down,

908
00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:43,400
Speaker 2: no one touched him. Then he sort of crawled across

909
00:44:43,440 --> 00:44:46,640
Speaker 2: and reached over to get the touchdown. But it's a

910
00:44:46,640 --> 00:44:49,560
Speaker 2: reminder of another team with the addition of someone like

911
00:44:49,640 --> 00:44:53,160
Speaker 2: Odell Beckham Junior long passes prime but still obviously a

912
00:44:53,239 --> 00:44:57,440
Speaker 2: high level receiver. How many weapons the Ravens have. And

913
00:44:57,840 --> 00:45:00,719
Speaker 2: you look at Miami, you look at the Chief, you

914
00:45:00,800 --> 00:45:04,399
Speaker 2: look at Jacksonville. I still say, as long as you've

915
00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:07,479
Speaker 2: got a healthy Lamar Jackson, the Ravens are the team

916
00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:08,719
Speaker 2: to beat in the AFC.

917
00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:14,000
Speaker 3: The Ravens are exceptional when Lamar Jackson is healthy, because

918
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:18,560
Speaker 3: when Lamar Jackson is healthy, he's never anything less than exceptional.

919
00:45:18,920 --> 00:45:21,920
Speaker 3: He is one of the most talented players in the NFL.

920
00:45:22,080 --> 00:45:25,920
Speaker 3: Hard stop he can. I mean, he's always in my

921
00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:29,319
Speaker 3: top twenty five when he's healthy, he's and I mean

922
00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:32,800
Speaker 3: the whole league, not just at his position, but I

923
00:45:32,840 --> 00:45:35,319
Speaker 3: mean take into account some of the things we've seen

924
00:45:35,360 --> 00:45:37,759
Speaker 3: at receiver with Tyreek Hill, some of the things that

925
00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:40,960
Speaker 3: we've seen at running back over the years. He's always

926
00:45:41,080 --> 00:45:45,040
Speaker 3: top twenty five Top twenty players in the NFL Defenders included.

927
00:45:45,640 --> 00:45:49,359
Speaker 3: He's that talented. He just tilts the field whenever he's on.

928
00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:50,080
Speaker 1: A football field.

929
00:45:50,160 --> 00:45:53,160
Speaker 3: So if he can stay healthy, if the Ravens can

930
00:45:53,200 --> 00:45:54,759
Speaker 3: find a way to keep him on his feet and

931
00:45:54,880 --> 00:45:58,320
Speaker 3: in the game, well, then this team they can punch

932
00:45:58,360 --> 00:46:01,920
Speaker 3: their ticket to AFC Championship game potentially.

933
00:46:02,440 --> 00:46:04,840
Speaker 2: The Lions finally get on the board on a Jamiir

934
00:46:04,920 --> 00:46:09,040
Speaker 2: Gibbs twelve yard touchdown run. But we have our first

935
00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:12,600
Speaker 2: missed extra point of the day courtesy of the Lions.

936
00:46:12,640 --> 00:46:15,440
Speaker 2: Riley Patterson missed it? I don't know, Chris, I wasn't watching.

937
00:46:15,600 --> 00:46:17,920
Speaker 2: Was it blocked? Was it just a yank job? What happened?

938
00:46:18,080 --> 00:46:20,600
Speaker 2: Very bad snap? Bad snap?

939
00:46:20,680 --> 00:46:21,000
Speaker 1: All right?

940
00:46:21,719 --> 00:46:24,000
Speaker 2: All right? So the bear still lead the Lions by

941
00:46:24,040 --> 00:46:27,759
Speaker 2: a score of ten to six. Also, the Bengals and

942
00:46:27,840 --> 00:46:31,120
Speaker 2: the Colts. Colts get on the board on a touchdown

943
00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:35,360
Speaker 2: pass by Gardner Minshew to mo Aley Cox. What happened

944
00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:37,560
Speaker 2: to their extra point? I'm taking a look at that one.

945
00:46:37,640 --> 00:46:39,040
Speaker 2: What do we have there going on?

946
00:46:39,480 --> 00:46:40,280
Speaker 1: We have.

947
00:46:41,960 --> 00:46:45,760
Speaker 2: A oh extra point? Is no good?

948
00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:47,440
Speaker 1: Wide? Left?

949
00:46:47,480 --> 00:46:49,120
Speaker 2: Another missed extra point?

950
00:46:49,440 --> 00:46:51,200
Speaker 1: Wow? Can't blame the snap there?

951
00:46:51,360 --> 00:46:54,600
Speaker 2: Well, the weather is suddenly turning a little foul around

952
00:46:54,680 --> 00:46:58,720
Speaker 2: the NFL. I was asking this yesterday of Ephraim Salaam.

953
00:46:59,040 --> 00:47:02,560
Speaker 2: When you're in a lock room, yeah, rich and again

954
00:47:02,600 --> 00:47:04,799
Speaker 2: you're from New York. You know, you play at Penn State,

955
00:47:04,880 --> 00:47:07,319
Speaker 2: so you know bad weather football. Yeah, But when you're

956
00:47:07,320 --> 00:47:09,840
Speaker 2: in the locker room and you know when you walk

957
00:47:09,920 --> 00:47:14,080
Speaker 2: out on that field, it's so cold, you can't think.

958
00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:16,920
Speaker 2: And even was telling me about the fact that you

959
00:47:17,320 --> 00:47:19,719
Speaker 2: try to block that out as you're doing all your

960
00:47:19,760 --> 00:47:23,319
Speaker 2: pregame preparation, as you normally do for any game. You

961
00:47:23,360 --> 00:47:26,759
Speaker 2: don't want the thought of the weather entering into your mindset.

962
00:47:26,920 --> 00:47:29,279
Speaker 2: But he said, like he it was last game of

963
00:47:29,280 --> 00:47:31,759
Speaker 2: the year in Green Bay. He's ready to go, and

964
00:47:31,920 --> 00:47:36,200
Speaker 2: is he comes through that tunnel, that arctic blast just

965
00:47:36,640 --> 00:47:40,400
Speaker 2: hits you. Yeah, and you know there's gonna be no relief.

966
00:47:40,880 --> 00:47:43,560
Speaker 2: Like once you're out there, you're out there, How did

967
00:47:43,600 --> 00:47:44,239
Speaker 2: you handle that?

968
00:47:45,880 --> 00:47:51,600
Speaker 3: Look, football is all about compartmentalizing pain. When you're playing

969
00:47:51,640 --> 00:47:54,400
Speaker 3: a football game, you know you're doing damage to your body,

970
00:47:54,560 --> 00:47:57,920
Speaker 3: you know, and you know you're doing things that you like.

971
00:47:57,960 --> 00:48:00,399
Speaker 3: I mean, if we're talking about just existing in the world,

972
00:48:00,480 --> 00:48:04,279
Speaker 3: you probably shouldn't be doing, but you put that all

973
00:48:04,320 --> 00:48:07,839
Speaker 3: on a shelf and you just organize it as such,

974
00:48:07,960 --> 00:48:10,239
Speaker 3: like this is what I do for work. I'm gonna

975
00:48:10,239 --> 00:48:12,560
Speaker 3: go out there, I'm gonna try to mash somebodies for

976
00:48:12,640 --> 00:48:15,040
Speaker 3: about three hours, and then I'm gonna figure out.

977
00:48:15,080 --> 00:48:16,560
Speaker 1: How bad I feel afterwards.

978
00:48:16,560 --> 00:48:19,279
Speaker 3: You find a way to just sort of, I don't know,

979
00:48:19,600 --> 00:48:22,080
Speaker 3: just bottle it up, put it on a shelf somewhere,

980
00:48:22,120 --> 00:48:24,560
Speaker 3: and you worry about all that later. And I remember

981
00:48:24,560 --> 00:48:27,160
Speaker 3: there were games where it was almost impossible to do that.

982
00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:30,879
Speaker 3: You know, you had sub zero windshill. Your fingers are

983
00:48:30,920 --> 00:48:33,640
Speaker 3: so cold it feels like shattering glass when you're like

984
00:48:33,719 --> 00:48:38,480
Speaker 3: punching into the breastplate of a defensive lineman, a defensive end.

985
00:48:38,880 --> 00:48:41,359
Speaker 3: You know, there were times where somebody would stomp on

986
00:48:41,400 --> 00:48:43,319
Speaker 3: you with their cleats when you went down to cut

987
00:48:43,360 --> 00:48:45,080
Speaker 3: block them or something, and.

988
00:48:45,080 --> 00:48:47,719
Speaker 1: It would feel like knives just shearing skin off.

989
00:48:47,800 --> 00:48:52,319
Speaker 3: It was awful, But it's the most On the other

990
00:48:52,400 --> 00:48:54,560
Speaker 3: side of it, it's the most fun you can have,

991
00:48:55,280 --> 00:48:58,800
Speaker 3: you know, with with you know, for three.

992
00:48:58,600 --> 00:49:00,200
Speaker 1: Hours, it's lawless out there.

993
00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:03,560
Speaker 3: They let you beat people up for three hours, So okay,

994
00:49:03,800 --> 00:49:05,840
Speaker 3: it's an awesome experience.

995
00:49:05,840 --> 00:49:06,439
Speaker 1: At the same point.

996
00:49:06,440 --> 00:49:08,480
Speaker 2: Well, it goes both ways. They are allowing you to

997
00:49:08,520 --> 00:49:11,000
Speaker 2: be beat up for three hours. That's true to the

998
00:49:11,160 --> 00:49:14,320
Speaker 2: Saints just had a block punt return for a touchdowns

999
00:49:14,320 --> 00:49:17,440
Speaker 2: of the Saints with a fourteen lead over Carolina. You

1000
00:49:17,480 --> 00:49:20,799
Speaker 2: talk about an ugly stat. Right now, we are four

1001
00:49:20,840 --> 00:49:22,640
Speaker 2: and a half minutes to go in the first half.

1002
00:49:22,680 --> 00:49:27,880
Speaker 2: Bryce Young is one for eight passing yikes, one for eight.

1003
00:49:28,440 --> 00:49:31,480
Speaker 3: And you have seen reports coming out of Carolina about

1004
00:49:31,560 --> 00:49:35,680
Speaker 3: David Tepper and you know, kind of his short sightedness

1005
00:49:35,719 --> 00:49:39,479
Speaker 3: and his lack of patience and all this stuff. Bryce Young,

1006
00:49:39,520 --> 00:49:41,880
Speaker 3: it appears to me, may have been drafted to the

1007
00:49:41,880 --> 00:49:44,960
Speaker 3: most unstable franchise in the game of football right now.

1008
00:49:45,239 --> 00:49:47,840
Speaker 2: And we've been both very we're both in the Bryce

1009
00:49:47,920 --> 00:49:50,400
Speaker 2: Young camp, and we've been saying be patient. You know,

1010
00:49:50,440 --> 00:49:53,719
Speaker 2: it's a bad team. He's not getting a lot of help, obviously,

1011
00:49:54,480 --> 00:49:57,360
Speaker 2: like the mindset of this guy. But even you and

1012
00:49:57,440 --> 00:49:59,400
Speaker 2: I have admitted every time we see this guy in

1013
00:49:59,440 --> 00:50:02,640
Speaker 2: the field, he looks smaller and smaller and smaller. He's

1014
00:50:02,640 --> 00:50:05,440
Speaker 2: almost like he's completely disappeared. And one for eight in

1015
00:50:05,480 --> 00:50:08,960
Speaker 2: the first half is a disappearing act. And this on

1016
00:50:08,960 --> 00:50:11,440
Speaker 2: on the heels obviously what CJ. Strout has done this

1017
00:50:11,480 --> 00:50:15,600
Speaker 2: season for the Houston Texans. I don't know how you

1018
00:50:16,520 --> 00:50:19,520
Speaker 2: write the ship here, especially when you have Temper running

1019
00:50:19,600 --> 00:50:23,600
Speaker 2: the show claiming that he's an incredibly patient man. He's

1020
00:50:23,640 --> 00:50:27,560
Speaker 2: the second wealthiest owner in the National Football League, but

1021
00:50:27,640 --> 00:50:31,120
Speaker 2: he's shown very little patients as this owner. This was

1022
00:50:31,160 --> 00:50:34,399
Speaker 2: a pretty solid franchise when he bought them, and they've

1023
00:50:34,440 --> 00:50:38,200
Speaker 2: been a catastrophe ever since. And he just feels sorry

1024
00:50:38,239 --> 00:50:41,239
Speaker 2: for a kid like Bryce Young that seems to check

1025
00:50:41,280 --> 00:50:46,120
Speaker 2: every box outside of stature to be a successful NFL quarterback.

1026
00:50:46,120 --> 00:50:48,239
Speaker 2: And as you said, man, he is stuck in a

1027
00:50:48,480 --> 00:50:52,640
Speaker 2: bad situation and it just doesn't seem to be anyway out.

1028
00:50:52,920 --> 00:50:56,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, look, I mean think about think about NFL

1029
00:50:56,600 --> 00:50:59,399
Speaker 3: quarterbacks the same way you would look at your kids, right,

1030
00:50:59,760 --> 00:51:02,680
Speaker 3: you know, so there's a certain grace period where you say, Okay,

1031
00:51:03,120 --> 00:51:05,800
Speaker 3: it may not be their fault, Like as a parent,

1032
00:51:05,960 --> 00:51:08,880
Speaker 3: I may have done some things that I wish I

1033
00:51:08,920 --> 00:51:11,000
Speaker 3: could help them be ready for the world. You know,

1034
00:51:11,040 --> 00:51:15,080
Speaker 3: when they turn eighteen, you know, when they turn twenty

1035
00:51:15,760 --> 00:51:18,920
Speaker 3: twenty five, even like you know, there's that time as

1036
00:51:18,960 --> 00:51:21,359
Speaker 3: they're getting out into the world where you may think

1037
00:51:21,400 --> 00:51:23,920
Speaker 3: to yourself, all did I make them ready enough? Well,

1038
00:51:24,080 --> 00:51:27,319
Speaker 3: all of a sudden, when somebody turns thirty and they're

1039
00:51:27,320 --> 00:51:30,279
Speaker 3: still blaming their parents for the reasons why they're a

1040
00:51:30,320 --> 00:51:34,520
Speaker 3: failure in life, nobody thinks it's cute anymore, nobody buys

1041
00:51:34,560 --> 00:51:38,800
Speaker 3: the excuse anymore. Eventually, it becomes your responsibility to fix things.

1042
00:51:39,200 --> 00:51:43,040
Speaker 3: And that's how I think you should view quarterbacks in

1043
00:51:43,080 --> 00:51:45,840
Speaker 3: the NFL like at a certain point, it is the

1044
00:51:45,880 --> 00:51:49,080
Speaker 3: franchise's fault. You know it's a bad system fit, you

1045
00:51:49,120 --> 00:51:53,160
Speaker 3: know you don't have a stable coaching staff, a stable culture.

1046
00:51:53,440 --> 00:51:55,160
Speaker 1: But at some point you got to pull yourself up

1047
00:51:55,200 --> 00:51:57,160
Speaker 1: by the bootstraps and figure it out.

1048
00:51:57,400 --> 00:51:59,879
Speaker 3: I love what Baker Mayfield is doing in Tampa Bay,

1049
00:51:59,880 --> 00:52:02,960
Speaker 3: for example, He's figured it out. He went to a

1050
00:52:03,239 --> 00:52:06,520
Speaker 3: jumpster fire of an organization with the Cleveland Browns and

1051
00:52:06,560 --> 00:52:09,359
Speaker 3: he even had some positive moments there, But he got

1052
00:52:09,400 --> 00:52:12,480
Speaker 3: out of there and he bounced around Carolina, Los Angeles

1053
00:52:12,560 --> 00:52:15,560
Speaker 3: last year, landed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this year.

1054
00:52:15,840 --> 00:52:19,040
Speaker 3: Definitely a lot more stability there, and you're seeing it happen.

1055
00:52:19,640 --> 00:52:24,280
Speaker 3: It looks like he's becoming a franchise quarterback. That's unfortunately

1056
00:52:24,360 --> 00:52:26,680
Speaker 3: what I think may end up happening for Bryce Young.

1057
00:52:26,960 --> 00:52:28,439
Speaker 3: I don't know if he's going to do a whole

1058
00:52:28,440 --> 00:52:32,280
Speaker 3: lot of growth or winning in Carolina. But be patient

1059
00:52:32,320 --> 00:52:37,960
Speaker 3: with quarterbacks because it's the opening salvo. The introduction to

1060
00:52:38,040 --> 00:52:41,720
Speaker 3: the league. Oftentimes isn't the whole story. Look at Gino

1061
00:52:41,800 --> 00:52:44,840
Speaker 3: Smith another good example. It's not the whole story. It

1062
00:52:44,880 --> 00:52:47,640
Speaker 3: can be the whole story, but it oftentimes isn't all right.

1063
00:52:47,719 --> 00:52:51,400
Speaker 2: Quick note here Texans Jets turning back the clock. We

1064
00:52:51,480 --> 00:52:54,600
Speaker 2: hit the two minute warnings, still no score, and Zach

1065
00:52:54,640 --> 00:52:58,280
Speaker 2: Wilson has outplayed CJ. Stroud. Stroud's numbers in this game

1066
00:52:58,600 --> 00:53:01,239
Speaker 2: five of ten for twenty two two yards. He's been

1067
00:53:01,320 --> 00:53:04,920
Speaker 2: sacked for twenty three yards and losses, meaning that with

1068
00:53:05,040 --> 00:53:07,120
Speaker 2: two minutes to go in the first half, the Texans

1069
00:53:07,160 --> 00:53:12,240
Speaker 2: have negative one net yards passing against this very good

1070
00:53:12,520 --> 00:53:15,120
Speaker 2: Jets defense. We continue on as we head to halftime.

1071
00:53:15,160 --> 00:53:17,799
Speaker 2: Around seven games in the NFL. Keep it here. This

Speaker 2: That's ninety seven one that taken Lions or Radio Networks.

1080
00:53:40,600 --> 00:53:44,160
Speaker 2: After trailing early to the Bears ten nothing, the Lions

00:53:57,800 --> 00:54:00,880
Speaker 2: lead the Falcons twelve to ten. They got a safety

1087
00:54:00,920 --> 00:54:03,200
Speaker 2: to take the lead there we just mentioned. The Lions

1088
00:54:03,280 --> 00:54:06,600
Speaker 2: lead the Bears thirteen to ten twenty four seconds leven

1089
00:54:06,680 --> 00:54:08,960
Speaker 2: the first half. The Bengals were a fourteen out there

1090
00:54:08,960 --> 00:54:11,520
Speaker 2: on the Colts. The Colts have now tied it. Their

1091
00:54:11,600 --> 00:54:15,200
Speaker 2: latest score was on a pick six. The Browns still

1092
00:54:15,280 --> 00:54:18,000
Speaker 2: lead the Jaguars fourteen to seven four minutes to go

1093
00:54:18,080 --> 00:54:20,600
Speaker 2: on the half. Saints over the Panthers fourteen to three

1094
00:54:21,040 --> 00:54:24,000
Speaker 2: with a minute to go in the half. The Rams

1095
00:54:24,160 --> 00:54:27,480
Speaker 2: have a seventeen to fourteen lead on the road against

1096
00:54:27,480 --> 00:54:30,680
Speaker 2: the Ravens, and they just got an interception. So the

1097
00:54:30,800 --> 00:54:33,759
Speaker 2: Rams now have the ball in Ravens territory with the

1098
00:54:33,840 --> 00:54:38,800
Speaker 2: lead and the ball Texans Jets no score at half

1099
00:54:39,560 --> 00:54:44,560
Speaker 2: zero zero. How about this Rams Ravens game? Though, right

1100
00:54:44,600 --> 00:54:48,040
Speaker 2: now the Rams are going toe to toe with this

1101
00:54:48,160 --> 00:54:51,160
Speaker 2: Ravens team. The Rams scored to take the lead and

1102
00:54:51,200 --> 00:54:55,080
Speaker 2: then intercepted a pass to get the ball back. So,

1103
00:54:55,160 --> 00:54:58,480
Speaker 2: once again, give a lot of credit to Sean McVay,

1104
00:54:59,000 --> 00:55:02,120
Speaker 2: the leaders on that team. This team has no reason

1105
00:55:02,160 --> 00:55:04,120
Speaker 2: to be sitting in six and six right now. But

1106
00:55:04,560 --> 00:55:07,600
Speaker 2: I'm telling you one thing. If they win today in Baltimore,

1107
00:55:07,960 --> 00:55:10,880
Speaker 2: the Rams have a serious chance to actually make it

1108
00:55:10,920 --> 00:55:11,960
Speaker 2: to the postseason.

1109
00:55:12,320 --> 00:55:14,840
Speaker 3: Well, the Rams, they have a lot of what you

1110
00:55:14,960 --> 00:55:19,000
Speaker 3: need to be a postseason team. They have an elite quarterback,

1111
00:55:19,440 --> 00:55:23,799
Speaker 3: they have a couple of elite pass catchers. Kyen Williams

1112
00:55:23,840 --> 00:55:26,360
Speaker 3: has turned into a really good option out of the

1113
00:55:26,400 --> 00:55:29,359
Speaker 3: backfield for them. They've got a defense that can get

1114
00:55:29,360 --> 00:55:31,480
Speaker 3: you stops. They've been more of a sive than they

1115
00:55:31,480 --> 00:55:35,279
Speaker 3: have in past years, but that's understandable because they got

1116
00:55:35,320 --> 00:55:38,839
Speaker 3: really expensive in terms of their payroll and something's got

1117
00:55:38,880 --> 00:55:41,120
Speaker 3: to give, and it really did give on the defensive

1118
00:55:41,120 --> 00:55:43,360
Speaker 3: side of the ball. In terms of some of the

1119
00:55:43,440 --> 00:55:46,480
Speaker 3: valuable free agents that they were able to keep and

1120
00:55:46,560 --> 00:55:50,080
Speaker 3: hold on to. Same problem was upfront with their offensive line,

1121
00:55:50,080 --> 00:55:52,600
Speaker 3: which has improved over time because they've become more of

1122
00:55:52,640 --> 00:55:57,080
Speaker 3: a there's been more continuity up front after years of

1123
00:55:57,160 --> 00:56:01,000
Speaker 3: having some struggles there. So in a case like this

1124
00:56:01,200 --> 00:56:05,040
Speaker 3: on the road against Baltimore, the Ravens are the type

1125
00:56:05,080 --> 00:56:10,320
Speaker 3: of team that if oftentimes, if you're trailing at any

1126
00:56:10,440 --> 00:56:13,359
Speaker 3: point in the game, it becomes a long, hard day.

1127
00:56:13,920 --> 00:56:16,319
Speaker 3: But for all the reasons I just gave you offensively

1128
00:56:16,320 --> 00:56:19,239
Speaker 3: for the Rams, they're able to fight their way out

1129
00:56:19,239 --> 00:56:20,040
Speaker 3: of a deficit.

1130
00:56:20,120 --> 00:56:20,680
Speaker 1: And they did.

1131
00:56:20,920 --> 00:56:23,840
Speaker 3: They kicked the field goal, the Ravens scored a touchdown.

1132
00:56:24,239 --> 00:56:27,520
Speaker 3: It looked like, uh oh, here we go. This might

1133
00:56:27,560 --> 00:56:30,680
Speaker 3: be your standard front running Ravens win. And then the

1134
00:56:30,760 --> 00:56:34,000
Speaker 3: Rams answered in the second quarter with a Cooper Cup

1135
00:56:34,080 --> 00:56:37,120
Speaker 3: pass from Matthew Stafford and off to the races they went. Now,

1136
00:56:37,160 --> 00:56:38,960
Speaker 3: with the three point lead, let's.

1137
00:56:38,800 --> 00:56:41,560
Speaker 2: Talk about a game coming up, Broncos on the road

1138
00:56:41,680 --> 00:56:43,840
Speaker 2: against the Chargers. I say, on the road, it's going

1139
00:56:43,920 --> 00:56:45,759
Speaker 2: to be a sea of orange. At so far it

1140
00:56:45,800 --> 00:56:47,839
Speaker 2: always is when the Chargers are at home. They never

1141
00:56:47,880 --> 00:56:49,879
Speaker 2: get any fans to actually show up, but the other

1142
00:56:49,920 --> 00:56:53,240
Speaker 2: teams fans show up. I was at a Denver Charger

1143
00:56:53,320 --> 00:56:56,239
Speaker 2: game last season and it was a sea of orange completely.

1144
00:56:57,120 --> 00:56:59,480
Speaker 2: This is obviously a musk game for both of these

1145
00:56:59,480 --> 00:57:03,080
Speaker 2: teams to stay in the playoff chase. The Chargers coming

1146
00:57:03,120 --> 00:57:05,719
Speaker 2: off that I don't even know how you describe as

1147
00:57:05,760 --> 00:57:08,680
Speaker 2: six to nothing win other than ugly, but it was

1148
00:57:08,800 --> 00:57:12,200
Speaker 2: aw the Broncos coming off a loss that snapped their

1149
00:57:12,200 --> 00:57:14,400
Speaker 2: five game losing streak. How do you look at this

1150
00:57:14,520 --> 00:57:17,040
Speaker 2: matchup with the Chargers are three point favorites at home

1151
00:57:17,880 --> 00:57:20,560
Speaker 2: against the Denver team, Let's face it, over the last

1152
00:57:20,600 --> 00:57:23,880
Speaker 2: five or six weeks, has played much better than the Chargers.

1153
00:57:24,400 --> 00:57:26,960
Speaker 3: This is a coin flip for me. I think either

1154
00:57:27,000 --> 00:57:28,960
Speaker 3: team could win this game, and like you said, home

1155
00:57:28,960 --> 00:57:33,400
Speaker 3: field advantage really really doesn't belong to the Chargers here,

1156
00:57:34,160 --> 00:57:37,040
Speaker 3: both of them rolling off of interesting weeks. The loss

1157
00:57:37,080 --> 00:57:40,760
Speaker 3: to Texans for the Broncos was an enormous one because

1158
00:57:40,760 --> 00:57:43,320
Speaker 3: of that race at the bottom of the wild card bracket,

1159
00:57:43,440 --> 00:57:47,280
Speaker 3: so that really hurts the Broncos opportunity to make the

1160
00:57:47,320 --> 00:57:50,120
Speaker 3: postseason here. So a division win would be huge for

1161
00:57:50,200 --> 00:57:53,600
Speaker 3: the Broncos and for the Chargers. Brandon Stally is coaching

1162
00:57:53,640 --> 00:57:57,640
Speaker 3: for his livelihood. If he doesn't turn around this program

1163
00:57:57,720 --> 00:58:00,360
Speaker 3: this season, he's gone. I don't know if it's going

1164
00:58:00,400 --> 00:58:02,080
Speaker 3: to be this offseason. I don't know if it's going

1165
00:58:02,160 --> 00:58:03,720
Speaker 3: to be in the middle of the season next year.

1166
00:58:04,120 --> 00:58:06,680
Speaker 3: But you cannot go this long with a quarterback as

1167
00:58:06,680 --> 00:58:12,440
Speaker 3: talented as Justin Herbert and be a middling average, early

1168
00:58:12,520 --> 00:58:16,400
Speaker 3: exit type playoff team and have that be excusable.

1169
00:58:16,400 --> 00:58:16,920
Speaker 1: It's just not.

1170
00:58:17,080 --> 00:58:20,280
Speaker 3: It's a results driven business. So there are huge, huge

1171
00:58:22,360 --> 00:58:24,360
Speaker 3: consequences weighing in on this game.

1172
00:58:24,640 --> 00:58:26,800
Speaker 2: You know, we went into this week on the AFC

1173
00:58:26,920 --> 00:58:29,400
Speaker 2: side with four teams at seven and five, three at

1174
00:58:29,440 --> 00:58:32,800
Speaker 2: six and six, all battling for those three wild card spots,

1175
00:58:33,560 --> 00:58:36,600
Speaker 2: and then the Steelers lose to the Patriots on the

1176
00:58:36,640 --> 00:58:40,720
Speaker 2: heels of losing to the Cardinals. What has happened to Pittsburgh.

1177
00:58:40,760 --> 00:58:43,080
Speaker 2: I mean, I know that Trubisky was in a quarterback,

1178
00:58:43,120 --> 00:58:49,160
Speaker 2: but losing to the Patriots when the Patriots seemingly are

1179
00:58:49,200 --> 00:58:52,080
Speaker 2: trying to lose games to put themselves in the best

1180
00:58:52,120 --> 00:58:56,120
Speaker 2: position to get a game changer in the draft. The

1181
00:58:56,160 --> 00:58:59,640
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh Steels, we always say the Steelers find ways of

1182
00:58:59,680 --> 00:59:03,160
Speaker 2: winning games that they should lose, but losing back to

1183
00:59:03,200 --> 00:59:06,760
Speaker 2: back weeks to the Cardinals and the Patriots, yikes.

1184
00:59:06,560 --> 00:59:08,680
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, and Mike Tomlin.

1185
00:59:09,000 --> 00:59:12,800
Speaker 3: And now I don't know how trustworthy these reports are,

1186
00:59:12,840 --> 00:59:16,400
Speaker 3: but there's some reports that the locker room isn't responding

1187
00:59:16,440 --> 00:59:19,560
Speaker 3: to Mike Tomlin the way it used to look. When

1188
00:59:19,640 --> 00:59:22,400
Speaker 3: you have a situation at quarterback for as long as

1189
00:59:22,440 --> 00:59:25,680
Speaker 3: they've had this situation going on through the final years

1190
00:59:25,720 --> 00:59:29,760
Speaker 3: of the rav Loosberger era into this new Kenny Pickett era,

1191
00:59:30,640 --> 00:59:33,200
Speaker 3: there's not a lot of hope that's running around the

1192
00:59:33,240 --> 00:59:36,520
Speaker 3: building when you don't have a great player at that position.

1193
00:59:36,760 --> 00:59:39,120
Speaker 3: And so they got to figure this out. They got

1194
00:59:39,120 --> 00:59:41,640
Speaker 3: to figure out that quarterback position because that's really what's

1195
00:59:41,640 --> 00:59:43,960
Speaker 3: holding them back. This team would be so much better

1196
00:59:44,320 --> 00:59:47,720
Speaker 3: if they even had a passable player quarterback. Kenny Pickett.

1197
00:59:47,960 --> 00:59:50,120
Speaker 3: The only good thing you can say about his game

1198
00:59:50,480 --> 00:59:53,440
Speaker 3: is he doesn't usually cost you games because he's so.

1199
00:59:53,480 --> 00:59:56,720
Speaker 1: Careful at the football. He rarely turns it over.

1200
00:59:57,040 --> 00:59:59,160
Speaker 3: That's the only reason why they're seven and six, because

1201
00:59:59,160 --> 01:00:00,920
Speaker 3: it's not like he's a whole lot.

1202
01:00:01,280 --> 01:00:03,000
Speaker 1: This team's winning.

1203
01:00:02,800 --> 01:00:07,080
Speaker 3: Off of keeping it close defensively and doing just enough

1204
01:00:07,200 --> 01:00:08,800
Speaker 3: offensively to win, and.

1205
01:00:08,800 --> 01:00:11,040
Speaker 1: So you're gonna get caught. You're gonna get caught.

1206
01:00:11,040 --> 01:00:13,200
Speaker 3: And it doesn't shock me at all that a Patriots

1207
01:00:13,200 --> 01:00:17,439
Speaker 3: team it's still playing scrappy football, even though they're most

1208
01:00:17,560 --> 01:00:20,840
Speaker 3: likely out of any sort of contention for anything this season.

1209
01:00:22,200 --> 01:00:23,880
Speaker 3: It doesn't shock me at all that a team like

1210
01:00:23,920 --> 01:00:24,720
Speaker 3: that could catch them.

1211
01:00:24,800 --> 01:00:27,240
Speaker 2: Well, they have a red hot quarterback in Bailey Zappy

1212
01:00:27,600 --> 01:00:31,040
Speaker 2: three touchdowns. Man, they have found their quarterback of the future.

1213
01:00:31,160 --> 01:00:31,720
Speaker 1: Do you think so?

1214
01:00:32,040 --> 01:00:36,640
Speaker 2: No? No, not not even close. Well, if they want

1215
01:00:36,640 --> 01:00:39,680
Speaker 2: a future of losing, but no, Bailey Zappi is not

1216
01:00:39,760 --> 01:00:42,480
Speaker 2: going to be the quarterback of the future. Hey, halftime

1217
01:00:42,560 --> 01:00:46,480
Speaker 2: stats in this Lions Bears game and again games in Chicago,

1218
01:00:47,640 --> 01:00:51,000
Speaker 2: Chicago weather in December. It could be worse, let's put

1219
01:00:51,000 --> 01:00:54,720
Speaker 2: it that way, but it's not pleasant. Jared Goff twelve

1220
01:00:54,720 --> 01:00:57,520
Speaker 2: of sixteen but just ninety three yards. He's throwing a

1221
01:00:57,560 --> 01:01:01,040
Speaker 2: pick one touchdown this game justin fields, four of eight

1222
01:01:01,040 --> 01:01:03,160
Speaker 2: eighty one yards. Both these teams actually are running the

1223
01:01:03,160 --> 01:01:06,360
Speaker 2: ball well, although most of the Bears ground game is

1224
01:01:06,560 --> 01:01:10,840
Speaker 2: justin fields. He has fifty yards on seven carries. This

1225
01:01:10,880 --> 01:01:13,360
Speaker 2: is a throwback game, right, This is the NFC North,

1226
01:01:13,680 --> 01:01:16,800
Speaker 2: it's December. You Actually, it was funny yesterday I was

1227
01:01:16,840 --> 01:01:19,200
Speaker 2: looking at some of the weather reports around the NFL

1228
01:01:19,280 --> 01:01:21,800
Speaker 2: for games today, and I was reminded how many teams

1229
01:01:21,840 --> 01:01:25,480
Speaker 2: play indoors these days. Yeah, I mean there were like

1230
01:01:25,520 --> 01:01:28,080
Speaker 2: five or six games where there are no weather reports

1231
01:01:28,080 --> 01:01:29,480
Speaker 2: because it's indoors.

1232
01:01:29,680 --> 01:01:32,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, you got these dome games, and it really does

1233
01:01:32,920 --> 01:01:37,640
Speaker 3: help in terms of late season offensive explosiveness. But I

1234
01:01:37,680 --> 01:01:40,560
Speaker 3: will say, how about Detroit, you know, being able to

1235
01:01:40,600 --> 01:01:43,880
Speaker 3: battle back and play from behind. They've shown that they've

1236
01:01:43,880 --> 01:01:46,960
Speaker 3: been able to multiple times this season, sometimes in losses,

1237
01:01:47,000 --> 01:01:47,960
Speaker 3: sometimes in wins.

1238
01:01:48,040 --> 01:01:48,280
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1239
01:01:48,320 --> 01:01:50,320
Speaker 2: But now all of a sudden, you're playing with fire.

1240
01:01:50,400 --> 01:01:50,560
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1241
01:01:50,720 --> 01:01:52,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, They've won a few of these close games, they've

1242
01:01:52,800 --> 01:01:55,600
Speaker 2: lost a few. I mean early on, they were looking

1243
01:01:56,400 --> 01:01:57,920
Speaker 2: better than they are right now.

1244
01:01:58,440 --> 01:02:00,960
Speaker 3: I don't disagree with that, and I think because it

1245
01:02:01,040 --> 01:02:04,320
Speaker 3: was a little bit of I think a lot of

1246
01:02:04,320 --> 01:02:08,320
Speaker 3: people were caught off guard by how capable their defense was.

1247
01:02:08,920 --> 01:02:11,520
Speaker 3: I think a lot of people are underrating their defense,

1248
01:02:11,840 --> 01:02:14,640
Speaker 3: and as the season wore on, they saw some of

1249
01:02:14,640 --> 01:02:18,360
Speaker 3: the weaknesses they could exploit. But I love I love

1250
01:02:18,440 --> 01:02:22,440
Speaker 3: how Ben Johnson calls his offense, you know, getting multiple

1251
01:02:22,440 --> 01:02:25,720
Speaker 3: people involved in the run game with Williams, Jamison Williams,

1252
01:02:26,160 --> 01:02:29,120
Speaker 3: with Sam Laporta, who's been a huge target for them

1253
01:02:29,120 --> 01:02:30,280
Speaker 3: in the passing game as well.

1254
01:02:30,320 --> 01:02:32,840
Speaker 1: At tight end obviously.

1255
01:02:32,560 --> 01:02:36,120
Speaker 3: Jared Goff spreads the ball round a great deal, getting

1256
01:02:36,160 --> 01:02:38,720
Speaker 3: a lot of different faces involved in the passing game,

1257
01:02:38,760 --> 01:02:41,920
Speaker 3: both running backs, tight ends, end receivers.

1258
01:02:42,400 --> 01:02:43,360
Speaker 1: I think that this is.

1259
01:02:43,280 --> 01:02:46,439
Speaker 3: A really capable and creative offense and if they get

1260
01:02:46,440 --> 01:02:48,520
Speaker 3: a win here. Look, they're leading right now. We can't

1261
01:02:48,560 --> 01:02:51,720
Speaker 3: talk about this team like they've done something wrong. They

1262
01:02:51,840 --> 01:02:54,520
Speaker 3: battled back from a ten point deficit. They opened up,

1263
01:02:54,800 --> 01:02:56,720
Speaker 3: the Bears roared out to a ten to nothing lead.

1264
01:02:57,280 --> 01:02:59,960
Speaker 3: It's thirteen to nothing right now at halftime. The line

1265
01:03:00,280 --> 01:03:01,880
Speaker 3: go out there in the second half and they pile

1266
01:03:01,960 --> 01:03:03,880
Speaker 3: it on points. Wise, this could look at the end

1267
01:03:03,880 --> 01:03:06,919
Speaker 3: of the day like a huge good win in Division four.

1268
01:03:07,280 --> 01:03:09,360
Speaker 2: Detroit, by the way, line's been a great road team

1269
01:03:09,400 --> 01:03:11,600
Speaker 2: all season long five and one. They actually have a

1270
01:03:11,600 --> 01:03:13,760
Speaker 2: better road record than they have a home wrecord. We're

1275
01:03:25,840 --> 01:03:30,320
Speaker 2: trending right now, Moncie, all over this action. Seven games

1276
01:03:30,320 --> 01:03:32,200
Speaker 2: in the NFL, we've had a little excitement.

1277
01:03:32,480 --> 01:03:35,000
Speaker 10: Yes, it's it's been calm. Yeah, it's been calm.

1278
01:03:35,120 --> 01:03:37,800
Speaker 2: Not crazy, but it's not well, yeah, there is that

1279
01:03:37,920 --> 01:03:38,560
Speaker 2: Jets game.

1280
01:03:38,840 --> 01:03:40,840
Speaker 10: No, yeah, that's crazy for different revenue.

1281
01:03:40,880 --> 01:03:41,800
Speaker 2: Highlights from that game.

1282
01:03:42,080 --> 01:03:47,240
Speaker 9: Uh, Zach Wilson ninety two yards okay, zero zero, listen,

1283
01:03:47,320 --> 01:03:49,479
Speaker 9: Zach Wilson is ninety two yards in this game.

1284
01:03:49,520 --> 01:03:51,160
Speaker 10: That is zero zero. It's true.

1285
01:03:51,360 --> 01:03:54,160
Speaker 9: But the Panthers Saints game, like, the Saints are at

1286
01:03:54,240 --> 01:03:55,160
Speaker 9: fourteen to three.

1287
01:03:54,960 --> 01:03:56,919
Speaker 10: At half time. But let me the quarterbacks.

1288
01:03:57,240 --> 01:04:00,000
Speaker 9: Derek Carr forty nine yards ten to fifteen, Price Young

1289
01:04:00,000 --> 01:04:01,040
Speaker 9: twenty nine yards.

1290
01:04:00,800 --> 01:04:01,600
Speaker 10: Three to fifteen.

1291
01:04:01,960 --> 01:04:04,080
Speaker 9: So even though they're scoring, it doesn't seem like the

1292
01:04:04,080 --> 01:04:05,120
Speaker 9: most exciting game.

1293
01:04:05,480 --> 01:04:07,960
Speaker 2: Well, after a one for a start, he's on Fire's

1294
01:04:08,000 --> 01:04:10,240
Speaker 2: two for his last seven, Sue's twenty in the right.

1295
01:04:10,280 --> 01:04:12,320
Speaker 10: Batch's right, true, that is true.

1296
01:04:12,560 --> 01:04:15,080
Speaker 9: Most of these games are in halftime. We've got seven

1297
01:04:15,120 --> 01:04:17,800
Speaker 9: going on. Those two are at halftime. The Rams and

1298
01:04:17,800 --> 01:04:20,640
Speaker 9: the Ravens have about ninety seconds to go. Ravens trying

1299
01:04:20,640 --> 01:04:23,600
Speaker 9: to do something in this last drive before halftime, because

1300
01:04:23,600 --> 01:04:25,360
Speaker 9: the Rams were able to get a field goal, so

1301
01:04:25,400 --> 01:04:26,360
Speaker 9: they extended their lead.

1302
01:04:26,360 --> 01:04:30,160
Speaker 10: It's twenty to fourteen in Baltimore. Even though Lamar Jackson

1303
01:04:30,200 --> 01:04:31,000
Speaker 10: has thrown.

1304
01:04:30,920 --> 01:04:33,320
Speaker 9: For one hundred and seventy yards two touchdowns, he does

1305
01:04:33,360 --> 01:04:36,480
Speaker 9: have that one interception which cause the Rams to score,

1306
01:04:36,680 --> 01:04:39,400
Speaker 9: take the lead, and all that good stuff. Joe Flacco,

1307
01:04:39,920 --> 01:04:42,280
Speaker 9: Browns quarterback. Right they found their quarterback.

1308
01:04:43,520 --> 01:04:46,000
Speaker 2: I am telling you right now, if this team gets

1309
01:04:46,000 --> 01:04:48,640
Speaker 2: into the postseason with Joe Flacco, at least for that

1310
01:04:48,720 --> 01:04:50,520
Speaker 2: first playoff game, don't bet against him.

1311
01:04:50,680 --> 01:04:51,600
Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, for sure.

1312
01:04:51,680 --> 01:04:54,120
Speaker 9: Joe Flaco one hundred and seventy three yards, two touchdowns

1313
01:04:54,160 --> 01:04:56,200
Speaker 9: and the year also one interception. But the Browns are

1314
01:04:56,280 --> 01:04:58,880
Speaker 9: up on the Jaguars fourteen to seven. A little over

1315
01:04:58,920 --> 01:05:01,240
Speaker 9: a minute and a half to go in the first half.

1316
01:05:01,280 --> 01:05:03,520
Speaker 9: The Colts and the Bengals are tied at fourteen, and

1317
01:05:03,560 --> 01:05:05,640
Speaker 9: guys defense wins games.

1318
01:05:05,760 --> 01:05:06,640
Speaker 1: Bengals go quickly.

1319
01:05:06,680 --> 01:05:08,880
Speaker 8: It's Browning curls it over the middle, It's picked off

1320
01:05:08,880 --> 01:05:09,520
Speaker 8: by the Colts.

1321
01:05:09,640 --> 01:05:11,160
Speaker 2: Ronnie Harrison running the other way.

1322
01:05:11,360 --> 01:05:12,400
Speaker 4: Now the far timeline.

1323
01:05:12,440 --> 01:05:17,040
Speaker 2: Ten fine touchdown. It's the defense that gets involved in

1324
01:05:17,080 --> 01:05:21,080
Speaker 2: the party here in Cincinnati, and it's Ronnie Harrison on a.

1325
01:05:21,200 --> 01:05:24,040
Speaker 9: Tenth drill Colts Radio Network on the call. Then they

1326
01:05:24,080 --> 01:05:26,760
Speaker 9: went for a successful two point conversion. That's how they

1327
01:05:26,800 --> 01:05:29,560
Speaker 9: tied the game against the Bengals. Jake Browning though for

1328
01:05:29,680 --> 01:05:33,080
Speaker 9: Cincinnati one hundred and thirty five yards went touchdown went interceptions.

1329
01:05:33,160 --> 01:05:35,760
Speaker 10: So far, the Lions of taking the lead over the Bears.

1330
01:05:35,760 --> 01:05:38,600
Speaker 9: They're up thirteen to ten at halftime, and the Buccaneers

1331
01:05:38,640 --> 01:05:41,880
Speaker 9: are beating the Falcons at halftime twelve to ten. Now,

1332
01:05:41,960 --> 01:05:44,360
Speaker 9: the Seahawks have officially announced that it's going to be

1333
01:05:44,480 --> 01:05:49,760
Speaker 9: Drew Locke who starts today against the forty niners. They

1334
01:05:49,800 --> 01:05:51,680
Speaker 9: were saying that Gino Smith was going to be a

1335
01:05:51,680 --> 01:05:53,360
Speaker 9: game time decision because of a groin.

1336
01:05:53,160 --> 01:05:56,480
Speaker 2: Andready's been dealing with. Yeah, walk to Luke.

1337
01:05:56,520 --> 01:05:57,480
Speaker 10: Yeah yeah.

1338
01:05:57,560 --> 01:06:01,080
Speaker 9: So Drew Locke in foresher against the Sea I guess

1339
01:06:01,240 --> 01:06:05,000
Speaker 9: his growing is not good to go, unfortunately for Geno Smith.

1340
01:06:05,280 --> 01:06:06,720
Speaker 10: Well, guys, it's all I got for you.

1341
01:06:06,760 --> 01:06:09,520
Speaker 2: Back to you all right, MONSI thank you very much.

1342
01:06:09,920 --> 01:06:12,560
Speaker 2: By the way, once again, this is Fox Sports Red

1343
01:06:12,640 --> 01:06:15,680
Speaker 2: Zone Radio Steve Harbin and Rich Ornberger. So coming into

1344
01:06:15,720 --> 01:06:16,320
Speaker 2: this week.

1345
01:06:16,480 --> 01:06:16,800
Speaker 1: CJ.

1346
01:06:16,960 --> 01:06:20,840
Speaker 2: Stroud was leading the NFL averaging two hundred and ninety

1347
01:06:20,840 --> 01:06:24,520
Speaker 2: five yards passing per game. First half against the Jets,

1348
01:06:24,560 --> 01:06:28,040
Speaker 2: he has twenty eight. He's also been sacked three times

1349
01:06:28,040 --> 01:06:30,360
Speaker 2: for thirty two yards and losses, so that is a

1350
01:06:30,560 --> 01:06:36,160
Speaker 2: net negative four yards passing for the Texans at halftime.

1351
01:06:36,520 --> 01:06:39,360
Speaker 2: The only saving graces are playing against an offense led

1352
01:06:39,400 --> 01:06:42,360
Speaker 2: by Zach Wilson. So they're tied zero zero. But I

1353
01:06:42,400 --> 01:06:45,920
Speaker 2: don't know. I mean, if this continues and you start

1354
01:06:46,000 --> 01:06:49,720
Speaker 2: looking at film of what the Jets are doing to

1355
01:06:49,760 --> 01:06:53,520
Speaker 2: neutralize CJ. Stroud, other teams may take advantage of that.

1356
01:06:53,880 --> 01:06:56,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, And this is a little bit of like brothers

1357
01:06:56,720 --> 01:06:59,200
Speaker 3: moving out of the house and having a little competition,

1358
01:06:59,360 --> 01:07:04,880
Speaker 3: right because Robert Sala and Demiko Ryans both bird of

1359
01:07:05,080 --> 01:07:09,520
Speaker 3: this San Francisco forty nine ers organization that has now

1360
01:07:09,560 --> 01:07:12,919
Speaker 3: spun off many coaches, and they came from that coaching tree,

1361
01:07:12,960 --> 01:07:15,320
Speaker 3: and so this is they're playing for more than just

1362
01:07:15,760 --> 01:07:17,720
Speaker 3: you know, the game. You know, they're playing for a

1363
01:07:17,720 --> 01:07:20,920
Speaker 3: little bit of bragging rights, Like you know who's the

1364
01:07:20,920 --> 01:07:25,480
Speaker 3: more successful coach right now, and inarguably it's Demiko Ryans.

1365
01:07:25,560 --> 01:07:28,320
Speaker 1: Robert Sala has been at it longer in New York.

1366
01:07:28,480 --> 01:07:30,920
Speaker 3: So I think there's a lot of pride on the

1367
01:07:30,960 --> 01:07:33,360
Speaker 3: line here for both of these coaches. And if there's

1368
01:07:33,400 --> 01:07:36,040
Speaker 3: anybody who knows how to attack each other, it's guys

1369
01:07:36,040 --> 01:07:37,760
Speaker 3: who work together for a long time.

1370
01:07:38,120 --> 01:07:38,920
Speaker 1: You know. That's the reason why.

1371
01:07:39,000 --> 01:07:43,479
Speaker 3: Oftentimes, when the head coach plays against the assistant, who's

1372
01:07:43,480 --> 01:07:46,200
Speaker 3: spun off and become a head coach, Like anytime Belichick

1373
01:07:46,240 --> 01:07:50,960
Speaker 3: plays against Eric Mangini or Josh McDaniels or Billy O'Brien

1374
01:07:51,080 --> 01:07:52,040
Speaker 3: or Romeo Crenell.

1375
01:07:52,480 --> 01:07:54,919
Speaker 1: Typically it's Belichick who has.

1376
01:07:54,880 --> 01:07:57,960
Speaker 3: Upper hand, or Andy Reid against any of his former assistants,

1377
01:07:58,240 --> 01:08:00,640
Speaker 3: or Pete Carroll against his It's just the way this

1378
01:08:00,760 --> 01:08:03,000
Speaker 3: kind of goes. And so it's very interesting to see

1379
01:08:03,240 --> 01:08:06,560
Speaker 3: two of the assistants off of the same tree battling

1380
01:08:06,640 --> 01:08:09,040
Speaker 3: for supremacy in this one.

1381
01:08:09,120 --> 01:08:11,000
Speaker 2: All right, So we're at halftime in most of these

1382
01:08:11,040 --> 01:08:13,640
Speaker 2: games right now, giving us an opportunity to talk about

1383
01:08:13,800 --> 01:08:16,360
Speaker 2: tonight's game, which is the game of the week. Eagles

1384
01:08:16,400 --> 01:08:19,920
Speaker 2: on the road against the Cowboys. Eagles got boat raced

1385
01:08:20,000 --> 01:08:22,960
Speaker 2: by the forty nine ers, and again everyone's jumping on

1386
01:08:23,000 --> 01:08:26,000
Speaker 2: the Cowboy bandwagon, even though they don't have a signature

1387
01:08:26,120 --> 01:08:29,479
Speaker 2: win yet on the season. Cowboys three and a half

1388
01:08:29,520 --> 01:08:32,000
Speaker 2: point favorites at home. They haven't lost a home game

1389
01:08:32,320 --> 01:08:34,679
Speaker 2: this year. In fact, they have the longest home winning

1390
01:08:34,680 --> 01:08:39,719
Speaker 2: streak around the NFL. My gut tells me the Eagles

1391
01:08:39,720 --> 01:08:44,439
Speaker 2: will bounce back like that was such a beatdown at

1392
01:08:44,479 --> 01:08:47,439
Speaker 2: home by the forty nine ers that maybe it was

1393
01:08:47,479 --> 01:08:50,839
Speaker 2: the wake up call, because all season long, the Eagles

1394
01:08:50,840 --> 01:08:53,720
Speaker 2: have been less than impressive, but just finding ways to win.

1395
01:08:54,360 --> 01:08:58,160
Speaker 2: And sometimes it takes a gut punch, well reality check

1396
01:08:58,240 --> 01:09:01,400
Speaker 2: that you're not just good enough to show up and

1397
01:09:01,439 --> 01:09:05,000
Speaker 2: win games, you got to play the game. I expect

1398
01:09:05,040 --> 01:09:07,559
Speaker 2: the Eagles to win, even though this game is in Dallas,

1399
01:09:07,640 --> 01:09:10,720
Speaker 2: even though Cowboys have great records at home. I think

1400
01:09:10,760 --> 01:09:14,400
Speaker 2: we're gonna see a very inspired Philadelphia Tim. I'm saying

1401
01:09:14,400 --> 01:09:17,240
Speaker 2: that looking at Bow right now, who obviously is not

1402
01:09:17,320 --> 01:09:20,160
Speaker 2: wearing any Eagles gear. He's all on with the Dodgers today.

1403
01:09:20,479 --> 01:09:23,559
Speaker 2: Maybe he's a little nervous about this game. But what

1404
01:09:23,560 --> 01:09:25,360
Speaker 2: are your thoughts about this game coming up tonight?

1405
01:09:25,400 --> 01:09:25,800
Speaker 1: Here? Rich?

1406
01:09:26,120 --> 01:09:28,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know what, I'm not sure what side I

1407
01:09:28,720 --> 01:09:31,040
Speaker 3: want to choose on this one. I talked to this

1408
01:09:31,400 --> 01:09:34,280
Speaker 3: about this a little bit on Countdown to Kickoff yesterday

1409
01:09:34,360 --> 01:09:35,439
Speaker 3: on Fox Sports Radio.

1410
01:09:36,080 --> 01:09:40,200
Speaker 1: So where I'm at on it is I'm taking the over. Yesterday.

1411
01:09:40,320 --> 01:09:42,160
Speaker 3: I had a clock that fifty one and a half

1412
01:09:42,200 --> 01:09:45,920
Speaker 3: maybe fifty two was where the line closed when we

1413
01:09:45,920 --> 01:09:47,719
Speaker 3: were doing our rapid fire pick them.

1414
01:09:48,240 --> 01:09:49,400
Speaker 1: But I like the over.

1415
01:09:49,520 --> 01:09:51,720
Speaker 3: I think that to your point, the Eagles are going

1416
01:09:51,800 --> 01:09:55,680
Speaker 3: to respond with offense because this Cowboys defense, as we

1417
01:09:55,720 --> 01:09:59,919
Speaker 3: saw against the Seahawks, it can be had, and likewise

1418
01:10:00,120 --> 01:10:00,879
Speaker 3: with the Eagles.

1419
01:10:01,000 --> 01:10:03,400
Speaker 1: Over the past five weeks, four of those.

1420
01:10:03,200 --> 01:10:06,759
Speaker 3: Games, the Eagles defense has given up four hundred yards

1421
01:10:06,760 --> 01:10:09,280
Speaker 3: of offense. I mean, that's insane. They only did that

1422
01:10:09,400 --> 01:10:13,679
Speaker 3: once last year. Over twenty games, including their postseason run

1423
01:10:13,760 --> 01:10:16,519
Speaker 3: to the Super Bowl, only one time did they give

1424
01:10:16,600 --> 01:10:20,040
Speaker 3: up four hundred plus yards of offense. So this Eagles

1425
01:10:20,080 --> 01:10:22,960
Speaker 3: defense is reeling. And that's the reason why a lot

1426
01:10:23,000 --> 01:10:26,200
Speaker 3: of these games are close, is because when the defense struggles,

1427
01:10:26,240 --> 01:10:28,720
Speaker 3: the offense has to put it into overdrive.

1428
01:10:28,720 --> 01:10:29,599
Speaker 1: And find a way.

1429
01:10:30,240 --> 01:10:32,800
Speaker 3: And they've been successful for the most part, but they

1430
01:10:32,840 --> 01:10:35,639
Speaker 3: got caught and eventually, if you have a defense like that,

1431
01:10:35,680 --> 01:10:38,200
Speaker 3: you will get caught. So yeah, I don't know who

1432
01:10:38,280 --> 01:10:40,479
Speaker 3: wins this game, but I definitely think a lot of

1433
01:10:40,520 --> 01:10:44,280
Speaker 3: points will be scored because both of these defenses recently

1434
01:10:44,360 --> 01:10:45,320
Speaker 3: have been exploited.

1435
01:10:45,560 --> 01:10:49,040
Speaker 2: All right, so Bo, last week Gebo Samuel had called

1436
01:10:49,040 --> 01:10:53,160
Speaker 2: out the Eagles secondary as subbar and then destroy them,

1437
01:10:53,320 --> 01:10:55,800
Speaker 2: I mean, backed up those words by just carving them up,

1438
01:10:55,880 --> 01:10:58,880
Speaker 2: running through their tackles and everything else. Want to get

1439
01:10:58,920 --> 01:11:02,040
Speaker 2: your thoughts, your unbiased thoughts here, because I know that

1440
01:11:02,120 --> 01:11:05,360
Speaker 2: you think clearly when it comes to your beloved Philadelphia Eagles.

1441
01:11:05,600 --> 01:11:08,400
Speaker 2: Are you with me? Do you think that gut punch,

1442
01:11:08,680 --> 01:11:11,559
Speaker 2: that blowout, embarrassing loss at homes of the forty nine

1443
01:11:11,640 --> 01:11:15,120
Speaker 2: ers is going to inspire this team to maybe their

1444
01:11:15,240 --> 01:11:18,559
Speaker 2: best performance of the season tonight on the road against

1445
01:11:18,560 --> 01:11:19,120
Speaker 2: the Cowboys.

1446
01:11:19,400 --> 01:11:19,599
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1447
01:11:19,600 --> 01:11:23,160
Speaker 12: I mean, I think they're gonna play hard. They just haven't.

1448
01:11:23,160 --> 01:11:26,040
Speaker 12: They haven't beat Dallas in Dallas since like twenty seventeen

1449
01:11:26,160 --> 01:11:29,960
Speaker 12: or something like that, so it's always funky there. But

1450
01:11:30,280 --> 01:11:32,360
Speaker 12: I would love to see a bounce back game from

1451
01:11:32,439 --> 01:11:34,479
Speaker 12: Jalen Hurts. I know he's kind of been getting it.

1452
01:11:34,520 --> 01:11:36,800
Speaker 12: You had a David Carr saying that he would bench

1453
01:11:36,840 --> 01:11:40,519
Speaker 12: him from Marcus Mariota. I don't know about all that,

1454
01:11:41,880 --> 01:11:43,519
Speaker 12: but I think it'll be a good game. I'm just

1455
01:11:43,520 --> 01:11:46,360
Speaker 12: not sure they'll come out on top there. They're very tired,

1456
01:11:46,640 --> 01:11:48,479
Speaker 12: so they need to just finish this game.

1457
01:11:48,520 --> 01:11:50,720
Speaker 2: And well, the Cowboys win this game, they're in the

1458
01:11:50,760 --> 01:11:53,519
Speaker 2: driver's seat to win the NFC East. And remember we

1459
01:11:53,640 --> 01:11:56,639
Speaker 2: have not had repeat champion in the NFC East since

1460
01:11:56,680 --> 01:12:01,120
Speaker 2: two thousand and four, now twenty years since the team

1461
01:12:01,160 --> 01:12:05,280
Speaker 2: has won back to back NFC East championships. Yeah, you know,

1462
01:12:05,320 --> 01:12:07,719
Speaker 2: And I said this about the Cowboys before the season,

1463
01:12:09,200 --> 01:12:11,519
Speaker 2: and again, I'm not overwhelmed by what they've done so

1464
01:12:11,600 --> 01:12:14,519
Speaker 2: far because again, they're beating the teams they should beat,

1465
01:12:14,760 --> 01:12:17,599
Speaker 2: but when they play quality teams, they haven't looked as good.

1466
01:12:18,000 --> 01:12:21,160
Speaker 2: But that being said, and this team almost thirty years

1467
01:12:21,160 --> 01:12:23,960
Speaker 2: removed now from that last Super Bowl run, really their

1468
01:12:24,040 --> 01:12:27,360
Speaker 2: last run even to a conference championship game, you just

1469
01:12:27,400 --> 01:12:32,120
Speaker 2: feel like at some point the football gods are gonna say,

1470
01:12:32,160 --> 01:12:35,200
Speaker 2: all right, all right, we're gonna give you one. We're

1471
01:12:35,240 --> 01:12:38,280
Speaker 2: gonna we're gonna float you one. I even speculated that

1472
01:12:38,439 --> 01:12:41,680
Speaker 2: finally Jerry Jones putting Jimmy Johnson in the Ring of

1473
01:12:41,680 --> 01:12:44,879
Speaker 2: Honor was his desperate attempt to maybe change the fortunes

1474
01:12:44,960 --> 01:12:47,519
Speaker 2: of this team. So this is a huge game tonight.

1475
01:12:47,680 --> 01:12:50,840
Speaker 2: If the Cowboys win, and even more so, if the

1476
01:12:50,880 --> 01:12:54,720
Speaker 2: Cowboys win impressively against the Eagles, I'm gonna have to

1477
01:12:54,800 --> 01:12:57,519
Speaker 2: change my tune on the Cowboys. Maybe this could be

1478
01:12:58,040 --> 01:13:00,759
Speaker 2: their year to finally get back to the Super Bowl.

1479
01:13:01,040 --> 01:13:03,200
Speaker 3: One thing that I think a lot of people look

1480
01:13:03,240 --> 01:13:06,920
Speaker 3: at when they think about the Cowboys is Dak Prescott

1481
01:13:07,120 --> 01:13:12,000
Speaker 3: in big moments and how often he has failed Cowboys fans,

1482
01:13:12,360 --> 01:13:16,360
Speaker 3: you know, and maybe not specifically Dak, you know, because

1483
01:13:16,400 --> 01:13:19,360
Speaker 3: there's a lot of different reasons why you lose football games,

1484
01:13:19,800 --> 01:13:23,719
Speaker 3: and some football games where the Cowboys have lost, he's

1485
01:13:23,760 --> 01:13:28,520
Speaker 3: played a great football game. But we know, being a quarterback,

1486
01:13:29,120 --> 01:13:31,920
Speaker 3: your name is attached to wins and losses as much

1487
01:13:31,920 --> 01:13:35,240
Speaker 3: as head coaches are. And so this Cowboys team during

1488
01:13:35,320 --> 01:13:39,280
Speaker 3: the Dak era hasn't been clutch in the postseason. So

1489
01:13:39,840 --> 01:13:42,320
Speaker 3: I do think that there's probably a lot of public

1490
01:13:42,439 --> 01:13:45,360
Speaker 3: steam on the fact that when it comes down to

1491
01:13:45,600 --> 01:13:49,519
Speaker 3: huge games, big moments for the Eagles and Cowboys both,

1492
01:13:49,760 --> 01:13:52,880
Speaker 3: who do you trust more, Jalen Hurts or Dak Prescott,

1493
01:13:52,920 --> 01:13:55,559
Speaker 3: Because that's where a lot of people's brains go, and

1494
01:13:55,920 --> 01:13:58,559
Speaker 3: the the easy reach is Jalen hurts because he's taken

1495
01:13:58,600 --> 01:14:01,559
Speaker 3: his team further, even though he's been doing it for far,

1496
01:14:02,320 --> 01:14:05,840
Speaker 3: I should say, for a lot less time than Dak Prescott.

1497
01:14:06,000 --> 01:14:08,479
Speaker 2: All right, we have a score finally in the Jets

1498
01:14:08,520 --> 01:14:12,400
Speaker 2: Texans game, and it's the Jets on a touchdown pass

1499
01:14:12,479 --> 01:14:17,160
Speaker 2: by Zach Wilson to Randall Cobb. What alternate universe are

1500
01:14:17,200 --> 01:14:19,600
Speaker 2: we live in in right now? Zach Wilson is t

1501
01:14:20,160 --> 01:14:23,320
Speaker 2: Jets has one hundred and sixty nine yards passing CJ.

1502
01:14:23,479 --> 01:14:27,559
Speaker 2: Stroud for Houston has twenty eight. It's crazy every week

1503
01:14:27,600 --> 01:14:29,840
Speaker 2: in the NFL. That's why you keep it right here.

1504
01:14:30,000 --> 01:14:31,759
Speaker 2: This is Fox Sports Red Zone Radio.

1505
01:14:32,400 --> 01:14:35,559
Speaker 4: He drops back to throw Pastime todd On's run over

1506
01:14:35,640 --> 01:14:36,280
Speaker 4: the middle, Los.

1507
01:14:36,120 --> 01:14:39,960
Speaker 13: Cut running right Randel top half a ten five n

1508
01:14:40,040 --> 01:14:40,880
Speaker 13: in the end zone.

1509
01:14:41,280 --> 01:14:46,240
Speaker 2: That's a Jet touchdown. That's the Jets Radio network. And yes,

1510
01:14:46,400 --> 01:14:49,880
Speaker 2: the Jets leading the Texans seven to zhering nine minutes

1511
01:14:49,920 --> 01:14:51,800
Speaker 2: to go in the third quarter in that game. This

1512
01:14:51,920 --> 01:14:54,799
Speaker 2: is Fox Sports Red Zone Radio. Steve Hartman, Rich Ornberger.

1513
01:14:55,240 --> 01:14:59,080
Speaker 2: We are live from the tire Raq dot Com studios

1514
01:14:59,479 --> 01:15:06,120
Speaker 2: and looking at the Texans today, you could probably say this, Rich,

1515
01:15:06,640 --> 01:15:11,839
Speaker 2: this team was due for a stinker. They have obviously

1516
01:15:12,200 --> 01:15:17,439
Speaker 2: far exceeded any expectations during the course of the season

1517
01:15:17,520 --> 01:15:20,920
Speaker 2: to put themselves very much in the playoff picture coming

1518
01:15:20,960 --> 01:15:23,880
Speaker 2: off a big win against the Broncos, but they had

1519
01:15:23,920 --> 01:15:27,200
Speaker 2: had three straight home games. Now they head out on

1520
01:15:27,240 --> 01:15:30,800
Speaker 2: the road and against the lowly Jets. This is the

1521
01:15:30,880 --> 01:15:33,760
Speaker 2: worst certainly CJ. Stroud's worst game of the year, but

1522
01:15:33,960 --> 01:15:37,439
Speaker 2: just overall in the NFL, it's hard to bring it

1523
01:15:37,520 --> 01:15:39,800
Speaker 2: no matter how good a team you are week after week.

1524
01:15:39,880 --> 01:15:42,880
Speaker 2: But today, at least early on, they're still obviously in

1525
01:15:43,000 --> 01:15:46,000
Speaker 2: this game. But this has not been anywhere near with

1526
01:15:46,080 --> 01:15:49,080
Speaker 2: the Texans team we have seen that has won seven

1527
01:15:49,120 --> 01:15:50,240
Speaker 2: of their last ten games.

1528
01:15:50,320 --> 01:15:54,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, isn't it amazing what expectations can do to how

1529
01:15:54,200 --> 01:15:58,639
Speaker 3: you view a team Like before the season began. New

1530
01:15:58,720 --> 01:16:00,640
Speaker 3: York Jets hosting the Texans.

1531
01:16:01,200 --> 01:16:03,880
Speaker 2: That's a win for the Jets, right, Oh, they check

1532
01:16:03,960 --> 01:16:05,679
Speaker 2: that one off, right, Oh, no doubt?

1533
01:16:06,000 --> 01:16:10,160
Speaker 3: Right, Aaron Rodgers at quarterback, an unproven CJ. Stroud on

1534
01:16:10,280 --> 01:16:12,600
Speaker 3: a very bad Texans team out, that's gonna be a

1535
01:16:12,640 --> 01:16:14,920
Speaker 3: win for the Jets. But here we are with a

1536
01:16:15,160 --> 01:16:18,760
Speaker 3: seven and five Texans team taking on a hapless four

1537
01:16:18,800 --> 01:16:21,919
Speaker 3: and eight Jets team. And our expectation is the Texans

1538
01:16:21,960 --> 01:16:24,600
Speaker 3: to handle business easily against the Jets. And here we

1539
01:16:24,680 --> 01:16:28,920
Speaker 3: are in a dog fight, you know, heading well into

1540
01:16:29,000 --> 01:16:31,320
Speaker 3: the third quarter now with a seven to zero lead.

1541
01:16:31,920 --> 01:16:36,320
Speaker 3: Robert Sala starting Zach Wilson at quarterback, coming off of

1542
01:16:36,439 --> 01:16:39,920
Speaker 3: a touchdown pass to Randall Cobb with the ball back

1543
01:16:40,000 --> 01:16:43,280
Speaker 3: in his hands. It's it is amazing. You mentioned it

1544
01:16:43,400 --> 01:16:47,280
Speaker 3: before break, But the NFL, you cannot guess what's gonna

1545
01:16:47,280 --> 01:16:48,120
Speaker 3: happen week to week.

1546
01:16:48,400 --> 01:16:52,200
Speaker 1: It is the most unpredictable script in all of sports.

1547
01:16:51,920 --> 01:16:54,760
Speaker 2: No question about that. The Bengals have retaken the lead

1548
01:16:54,880 --> 01:16:57,960
Speaker 2: twenty one to fourteen over the Colts. Colts are another

1549
01:16:58,080 --> 01:17:01,479
Speaker 2: interesting team this year. There's seven of five to one

1550
01:17:01,560 --> 01:17:03,760
Speaker 2: on the road, two and four at home.

1551
01:17:04,120 --> 01:17:08,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, Anthony Richardson feels like a fever dream at this point. Yeah,

1552
01:17:08,200 --> 01:17:11,200
Speaker 3: that doesn't even feel real. It's been Gardner Minshew basically

1553
01:17:11,320 --> 01:17:14,519
Speaker 3: the whole way, and even when Anthony Richardson was there

1554
01:17:14,680 --> 01:17:17,840
Speaker 3: and healthy at times, Gardner Minshew had to fill in

1555
01:17:18,040 --> 01:17:22,800
Speaker 3: several times due to ankle injuries, lower body injuries or concussions,

1556
01:17:22,840 --> 01:17:25,320
Speaker 3: and so Gardner Minshew has kept the wheels on for

1557
01:17:25,439 --> 01:17:28,479
Speaker 3: Shane Stiken head coach of the Indianapolis Colts. And what

1558
01:17:28,600 --> 01:17:31,479
Speaker 3: a signing bringing him into the fold. He has a

1559
01:17:31,640 --> 01:17:35,800
Speaker 3: very Ryan Fitzpatrick esque vibe to him. He can really

1560
01:17:36,120 --> 01:17:39,760
Speaker 3: encourage and inspire a locker room. He plays good enough

1561
01:17:39,800 --> 01:17:42,879
Speaker 3: football to keep you in football games. And Jake Browning,

1562
01:17:43,439 --> 01:17:45,880
Speaker 3: I want to give credit where credits due. What he's

1563
01:17:45,960 --> 01:17:49,280
Speaker 3: done with the Bengals so far in a very short

1564
01:17:49,360 --> 01:17:52,200
Speaker 3: stint as the starter has been nothing short of a

1565
01:17:52,360 --> 01:17:56,679
Speaker 3: miracle compared to you know, the feeling on the Bengals

1566
01:17:56,720 --> 01:17:58,080
Speaker 3: after they lost Joe Burrow.

1567
01:17:58,320 --> 01:18:00,840
Speaker 2: Well, speaking of miracles, Joe Fla was sitting on his

1568
01:18:01,000 --> 01:18:03,519
Speaker 2: couch a few weeks ago, two hundred and twelve yards

1569
01:18:03,560 --> 01:18:07,360
Speaker 2: passing in the first half against Jacksonville. Brown's lead the

1570
01:18:07,439 --> 01:18:10,280
Speaker 2: Jags fourteen to seven. It has been a rough day

1571
01:18:10,320 --> 01:18:13,000
Speaker 2: for Trevor Lawrence, who is attempted to come back from

1572
01:18:13,040 --> 01:18:17,519
Speaker 2: that high ankle sprain that he suffered last week in

1573
01:18:17,680 --> 01:18:21,519
Speaker 2: that loss. And he's eleven of twenty two, only one

1574
01:18:21,600 --> 01:18:25,400
Speaker 2: hundred yards passing, and he has two interceptions in the

1575
01:18:25,520 --> 01:18:28,840
Speaker 2: first half. And you know, if you're the Jags right now,

1576
01:18:29,439 --> 01:18:31,240
Speaker 2: look at I get it. I mean, every game is

1577
01:18:31,280 --> 01:18:33,680
Speaker 2: a big game. You open the show talking about if

1578
01:18:33,720 --> 01:18:37,160
Speaker 2: you're in playoff contention, every game either means getting in

1579
01:18:37,240 --> 01:18:39,960
Speaker 2: the playoffs or home field advantage. There's a lot of

1580
01:18:40,040 --> 01:18:44,320
Speaker 2: factors here, but it's obvious that Lawrence, no matter how

1581
01:18:44,400 --> 01:18:48,479
Speaker 2: well you're wrapped up, a high ankle sprain for any

1582
01:18:48,600 --> 01:18:52,400
Speaker 2: position is tough, but for a quarterback Yikes Pikes indeed.

1583
01:18:52,520 --> 01:18:55,599
Speaker 3: Yeah, Well look when I was playing with high ankle

1584
01:18:55,680 --> 01:18:58,439
Speaker 3: springs throughout the course of my career as an offensive lineman,

1585
01:18:58,560 --> 01:19:03,400
Speaker 3: both collegiately or in the NFL, I can't describe.

1586
01:19:03,000 --> 01:19:04,640
Speaker 1: To you how limiting it is.

1587
01:19:05,280 --> 01:19:08,200
Speaker 3: You feel like you're kind of playing with your ankle

1588
01:19:08,520 --> 01:19:10,559
Speaker 3: tied to one of those like the.

1589
01:19:10,600 --> 01:19:14,120
Speaker 1: Ball and Chain have old prison movies. Like you really

1590
01:19:14,240 --> 01:19:15,599
Speaker 1: you feel like you're just stuck.

1591
01:19:16,280 --> 01:19:19,400
Speaker 3: And so anytime he thinks like, oh man, I got

1592
01:19:19,520 --> 01:19:21,760
Speaker 3: to evade the rush and step up quickly, you go

1593
01:19:21,840 --> 01:19:24,160
Speaker 3: to play at that foot and just got nothing there.

1594
01:19:24,439 --> 01:19:26,639
Speaker 3: Oh man, I gotta get outside the pocket quick here

1595
01:19:26,920 --> 01:19:29,120
Speaker 3: and get get beyond this defensive end so I can

1596
01:19:29,200 --> 01:19:30,519
Speaker 3: find that receiver in the flat.

1597
01:19:30,920 --> 01:19:33,240
Speaker 1: And you just you try to push off and you can't.

1598
01:19:33,680 --> 01:19:36,160
Speaker 1: It changes every aspect of your game.

1599
01:19:36,479 --> 01:19:38,679
Speaker 2: The Bears have tied up their game of the Lions.

1600
01:19:38,760 --> 01:19:40,920
Speaker 2: That game tied up at thirteen, eight and a half

1601
01:19:41,000 --> 01:19:43,479
Speaker 2: minutes to go in the third quarter, Jared Goff still

1602
01:19:43,479 --> 01:19:46,439
Speaker 2: doesn't even have a one hundred yards passing in this game. Yeah,

1603
01:19:46,640 --> 01:19:49,000
Speaker 2: he has ninety three yards passing with eight and a

1604
01:19:49,040 --> 01:19:52,200
Speaker 2: half minutes to go in the third quarter. Justin Fields

1605
01:19:52,680 --> 01:19:55,040
Speaker 2: has actually got better numbers. He's nine of sixteen, one

1606
01:19:55,120 --> 01:19:57,719
Speaker 2: hundred and thirty four yards. He's also run for fifty yards.

1607
01:19:58,080 --> 01:20:00,800
Speaker 2: Are we still auditioning Justin Field's be the long term

1608
01:20:00,840 --> 01:20:03,559
Speaker 2: answer at quarterback for the Bears. You think they've made

1609
01:20:03,600 --> 01:20:04,960
Speaker 2: up their mind yet Not yet.

1610
01:20:05,280 --> 01:20:08,120
Speaker 3: There's a lot of people who believe that Justin Fields

1611
01:20:08,200 --> 01:20:10,960
Speaker 3: is the best avenue moving forward. So I still think

1612
01:20:11,080 --> 01:20:11,840
Speaker 3: he's auditioning.

1613
01:20:12,120 --> 01:20:14,439
Speaker 2: Much more coming up as we head down the stretch

1614
01:20:14,520 --> 01:20:17,800

Speaker 2: Crowning in the gun, Chase Brown to his right.

1616
01:20:20,640 --> 01:20:23,639
Speaker 1: Crowning has the ball he's back to throw, not fires caught.

1617
01:20:23,479 --> 01:20:30,080
Speaker 13: At the five, Tanner Hudson into the end zone, touchdown, Bengals.

Speaker 2: way tire buying should be. We have so many teams

1629
01:21:08,920 --> 01:21:13,000
Speaker 2: around the NFL right now that are starting quarterbacks that

1630
01:21:13,200 --> 01:21:16,000
Speaker 2: did not start the season as their quarterbacks, and a

1631
01:21:16,080 --> 01:21:18,840
Speaker 2: number of these teams are in playoff contention. You know,

1632
01:21:18,920 --> 01:21:21,679
Speaker 2: I saw in an amazing stat all this controversy about

1633
01:21:21,720 --> 01:21:24,640
Speaker 2: Florida State being left out of the playoff because of

1634
01:21:24,720 --> 01:21:26,280
Speaker 2: the injury to Jordan Travis.

1635
01:21:26,600 --> 01:21:26,840
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1636
01:21:27,439 --> 01:21:30,800
Speaker 2: I love this number. So the first nine schools to

1637
01:21:30,880 --> 01:21:33,439
Speaker 2: win the playoff. This is the tenth and final year

1638
01:21:33,479 --> 01:21:37,479
Speaker 2: of this four school playoff, but of the nine previous

1639
01:21:37,680 --> 01:21:41,640
Speaker 2: winners of the playoff, four of the nine schools in

1640
01:21:41,800 --> 01:21:45,679
Speaker 2: the championship game started a quarterback that did not start

1641
01:21:45,760 --> 01:21:49,519
Speaker 2: the season as their quarterback. That's four of the nine champions,

1642
01:21:49,560 --> 01:21:52,200
Speaker 2: four of the nine champions that's forty four percent. So

1643
01:21:52,320 --> 01:21:55,200
Speaker 2: the idea of this, you know, well, Jordan Travis is

1644
01:21:55,280 --> 01:21:58,439
Speaker 2: not there. Four of the night started the very first year.

1645
01:21:58,520 --> 01:22:02,200
Speaker 2: Remember Cardell Jones with State, Yeah, winning the championship, but

1646
01:22:02,479 --> 01:22:06,439
Speaker 2: four of the nine teams that won at all in

1647
01:22:06,560 --> 01:22:10,200
Speaker 2: the Playoff Era, four team Playoff Era started quarterbacks on

1648
01:22:10,240 --> 01:22:12,960
Speaker 2: the championship game that were not their starting quarterbacks at

1649
01:22:13,000 --> 01:22:13,760
Speaker 2: the beginning of the year.

1650
01:22:14,560 --> 01:22:16,920
Speaker 1: You know what's so insane about this conversation.

1651
01:22:17,160 --> 01:22:20,040
Speaker 3: I know that there's certain people who are like, all right,

1652
01:22:20,160 --> 01:22:23,560
Speaker 3: well listen, let's move on, blah blah blah, like that

1653
01:22:23,640 --> 01:22:28,040
Speaker 3: it's already decided. The problem is for all those people

1654
01:22:28,120 --> 01:22:31,000
Speaker 3: out there, there are still people, and many of them

1655
01:22:31,120 --> 01:22:34,280
Speaker 3: sports fans or fans of the seminoles, who are smarting

1656
01:22:34,400 --> 01:22:38,960
Speaker 3: over this decision. Here's what I would say, Ay, JJ

1657
01:22:39,200 --> 01:22:42,679
Speaker 3: McCarthy would be a backup on Florida State. If JJ

1658
01:22:42,840 --> 01:22:46,439
Speaker 3: McCarthy was the starting quarterback on Florida State, he would

1659
01:22:46,479 --> 01:22:49,920
Speaker 3: be a backup, like because that's how much more talented

1660
01:22:50,000 --> 01:22:53,639
Speaker 3: Jordan Travis is than he is. Like, so, talking about

1661
01:22:54,080 --> 01:22:58,920
Speaker 3: Jordan Travis versus the rest of the quarterback field or

1662
01:22:59,800 --> 01:23:02,200
Speaker 3: jay Aj McCarthy against the rest of the quarterback field.

1663
01:23:03,200 --> 01:23:05,760
Speaker 3: It's kind of it's kind of ridiculous and a moot

1664
01:23:05,840 --> 01:23:08,560
Speaker 3: point that's lost on me when you're talking about backups

1665
01:23:09,400 --> 01:23:12,720
Speaker 3: in championship games or in the postseason altogether. By the way,

1666
01:23:13,280 --> 01:23:17,840
Speaker 3: mil Row from Alabama is a backup quarterback. He was

1667
01:23:17,960 --> 01:23:22,080
Speaker 3: not the season starter. So it's it again. It throws

1668
01:23:22,240 --> 01:23:25,240
Speaker 3: it in the face of the committee that this weighed

1669
01:23:25,320 --> 01:23:27,040
Speaker 3: so heavily in their decision making.

1670
01:23:27,160 --> 01:23:29,840
Speaker 2: It never did. The bottom line is, even if Jordan

1671
01:23:29,960 --> 01:23:32,479
Speaker 2: Travis had been there, they would have had the same

1672
01:23:32,520 --> 01:23:34,920
Speaker 2: record right thirteen and zero, they still would have been

1673
01:23:34,960 --> 01:23:37,600
Speaker 2: left out because there was no way that ESPN was

1674
01:23:37,600 --> 01:23:40,200
Speaker 2: going to lead the SEC out of the playoff, no chance,

1675
01:23:40,320 --> 01:23:43,559
Speaker 2: no way, too much money invested. It's the SEC network.

1676
01:23:44,040 --> 01:23:46,000
Speaker 2: And the problem they had was, well, if you're going

1677
01:23:46,080 --> 01:23:48,160
Speaker 2: to put Alabama in, you have to put Texas in

1678
01:23:48,920 --> 01:23:52,280
Speaker 2: because Texas beat Alabama at Alabama. So they were really

1679
01:23:52,640 --> 01:23:55,839
Speaker 2: in a conundrum when Alabama pulled the upset against Georgia

1680
01:23:56,080 --> 01:23:57,520
Speaker 2: and that SEC championship.

1681
01:23:57,560 --> 01:23:59,400
Speaker 3: By the way, if you want to get the SEC

1682
01:23:59,600 --> 01:24:02,479
Speaker 3: involved and you want to be sneaky about it, well

1683
01:24:02,560 --> 01:24:04,800
Speaker 3: getting both Texas and Alabama.

1684
01:24:05,000 --> 01:24:07,840
Speaker 1: What a coup? Yeah, it was. Where's Texas playing next year?

1685
01:24:08,520 --> 01:24:12,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. So it was a setup from the get go.

1686
01:24:12,280 --> 01:24:15,519
Speaker 2: So they were trying to use the convenient excuse of

1687
01:24:15,560 --> 01:24:19,680
Speaker 2: the Jordan Travis injury. The reality is Florida State was

1688
01:24:19,920 --> 01:24:23,280
Speaker 2: never going to get in to the final four. Sec

1689
01:24:23,479 --> 01:24:26,439
Speaker 2: had to be there with Alabama, So that's put to rets.

1690
01:24:26,479 --> 01:24:29,080
Speaker 2: The Bengals have just scored again, So the Bengals do

1691
01:24:29,240 --> 01:24:31,400
Speaker 2: get in on the end zone. They now lead the

1692
01:24:31,439 --> 01:24:34,840
Speaker 2: Colls by a score of twenty eight to fourteen. And

1693
01:24:35,040 --> 01:24:38,960
Speaker 2: Jake Browning again a quarterback that you know, he's been

1694
01:24:39,200 --> 01:24:42,719
Speaker 2: in the wings, you know, behind Joe Burrow. I remember

1695
01:24:42,840 --> 01:24:45,679
Speaker 2: him as hey Day. He had that great sophomore season

1696
01:24:45,760 --> 01:24:49,320
Speaker 2: at Washington where he led him into the college football

1697
01:24:49,360 --> 01:24:52,240
Speaker 2: play if he had over forty touchdowns, he stayed two

1698
01:24:52,320 --> 01:24:55,880
Speaker 2: more years, didn't do a whole lot. He goes to Cincinnati.

1699
01:24:56,320 --> 01:24:59,840
Speaker 2: Numbers today almost like last week, sixteen of twenty one,

1700
01:25:00,320 --> 01:25:03,640
Speaker 2: two hundred and forty nine yards passing, couple of touchdowns.

1701
01:25:03,840 --> 01:25:05,840
Speaker 2: He did have an interception. It was a pick six,

1702
01:25:05,920 --> 01:25:08,680
Speaker 2: but it was a little weird. It was off the

1703
01:25:08,840 --> 01:25:12,120
Speaker 2: hands of a Bengals receiver went right into the hands

1704
01:25:12,160 --> 01:25:14,560
Speaker 2: of a Colts defender who ran it in. Otherwise, this

1705
01:25:14,760 --> 01:25:17,800
Speaker 2: is a blowout at home for the Bengals, who, if

1706
01:25:17,840 --> 01:25:21,439
Speaker 2: they win today, did to seven and six and very

1707
01:25:21,520 --> 01:25:23,160
Speaker 2: much alive in the playoff picture.

1708
01:25:23,360 --> 01:25:26,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, very much. So this is a hugely important game.

1709
01:25:26,439 --> 01:25:29,320
Speaker 3: And if you look around the NFL, like we did

1710
01:25:29,479 --> 01:25:32,120
Speaker 3: to start the show today, Steve, there are tons of

1711
01:25:32,439 --> 01:25:36,800
Speaker 3: really truly important playoff implication games going on right now.

1712
01:25:36,920 --> 01:25:38,880
Speaker 3: A twelve to nothing, or excuse me, a twelve to

1713
01:25:38,880 --> 01:25:42,439
Speaker 3: ten lead Tampa Bay over at Atlanta currently as a

1714
01:25:42,479 --> 01:25:46,560
Speaker 3: football here in the third quarter, that has enormous implications

1715
01:25:46,760 --> 01:25:48,160
Speaker 3: in terms of the NFC South.

1716
01:25:48,560 --> 01:25:50,760
Speaker 1: Just talking about that Cincinnati.

1717
01:25:50,240 --> 01:25:53,040
Speaker 3: Game where they lead twenty one to fourteen over the Colts,

1718
01:25:53,439 --> 01:25:58,080
Speaker 3: humongous implications in the wildcard chase. This Houston Texans right now,

1719
01:25:58,520 --> 01:26:01,760
Speaker 3: this team trailing seven nothing in New York is a

1720
01:26:01,800 --> 01:26:03,439
Speaker 3: problem for them if they want to make it to

1721
01:26:03,520 --> 01:26:06,160
Speaker 3: the wild card round, right they need wins where they

1722
01:26:06,200 --> 01:26:09,080
Speaker 3: can find them, and it's just baffling that they're trailing

1723
01:26:09,479 --> 01:26:13,280
Speaker 3: to Zach Wilson, especially considering how great CJ.

1724
01:26:13,439 --> 01:26:16,439
Speaker 1: Strata has been all season. But he's he's really been

1725
01:26:16,479 --> 01:26:17,639
Speaker 1: a problem for them today.

1726
01:26:17,800 --> 01:26:21,160
Speaker 2: All Right, Sometimes I look at numbers being a stats guy,

1727
01:26:21,280 --> 01:26:24,400
Speaker 2: and I'm like, how so the Panthers and Saint Saints

1728
01:26:24,400 --> 01:26:26,599
Speaker 2: still lead this game fourteen to six. We've been talking

1729
01:26:26,640 --> 01:26:29,000
Speaker 2: about Bryce Young, he started one for eight. He's six

1730
01:26:29,120 --> 01:26:33,240
Speaker 2: for twenty for fifty three yards. But Derek carrstats defy

1731
01:26:34,160 --> 01:26:40,200
Speaker 2: all logic. He's twelve of eighteen for thirty seven yards. Wow,

1732
01:26:41,120 --> 01:26:49,000
Speaker 2: twelve of eighteen for thirty seven yards. That's three yards

1733
01:26:49,280 --> 01:26:49,799
Speaker 2: a catch.

1734
01:26:50,080 --> 01:26:51,479
Speaker 1: I don't, I don't even.

1735
01:26:52,240 --> 01:26:55,719
Speaker 2: I mean, it's like, how is this possible? Their longest

1736
01:26:55,840 --> 01:27:02,120
Speaker 2: completion in this game is eight yards for the Saints.

1737
01:27:02,240 --> 01:27:04,320
Speaker 2: They do lead fourteen to six, but you look, it's

1738
01:27:04,360 --> 01:27:07,600
Speaker 2: like twelve, Am I missing a number here? Twelve of

1739
01:27:07,720 --> 01:27:12,640
Speaker 2: eighteen for thirty seven yards. Combine these two teams and

1740
01:27:12,720 --> 01:27:15,360
Speaker 2: we got inside three minutes to go in the third quarter.

1741
01:27:15,840 --> 01:27:20,360
Speaker 2: Have a combined sixty net yards passing combined.

1742
01:27:21,400 --> 01:27:25,240
Speaker 1: I mean, you can you can lose yardage on catches.

1743
01:27:25,680 --> 01:27:27,120
Speaker 1: Well I got to see that before.

1744
01:27:27,200 --> 01:27:29,479
Speaker 2: How about this? Alvin Kamara in this game has three

1745
01:27:29,600 --> 01:27:31,320
Speaker 2: catches for negative eleven yards.

1746
01:27:31,400 --> 01:27:33,240
Speaker 3: Well, there you have it, like you know, so, yeah,

1747
01:27:33,680 --> 01:27:36,280
Speaker 3: if you throw a screen pass a guy tries to create,

1748
01:27:36,439 --> 01:27:38,920
Speaker 3: make something happen, and all of a sudden boom, you

1749
01:27:39,000 --> 01:27:41,719
Speaker 3: get tackled for a significant loss.

1750
01:27:41,760 --> 01:27:44,920
Speaker 1: So you know that that can happen, and.

1751
01:27:45,280 --> 01:27:47,639
Speaker 2: It will, by the way, By the way, we could

1752
01:27:47,680 --> 01:27:50,160
Speaker 2: be looking at a three way tie in that dreadful

1753
01:27:50,439 --> 01:27:55,000
Speaker 2: NFC South. The Buccaneers have scored again and now lead

1754
01:27:55,320 --> 01:27:59,280
Speaker 2: the Falcons in Atlanta nineteen to ten four minutes ago

1755
01:27:59,360 --> 01:28:02,280
Speaker 2: in the third again, a Saints victory at home against

1756
01:28:02,320 --> 01:28:05,560
Speaker 2: the Panthers, a Bucks victory on the road against the

1757
01:28:05,640 --> 01:28:09,240
Speaker 2: Falcons would have the Bucks, Falcons, and Saints all tied

1758
01:28:10,120 --> 01:28:13,880
Speaker 2: for the lead in the division at six and seven.

1759
01:28:14,720 --> 01:28:15,920
Speaker 1: Unreal, unreal?

1760
01:28:16,000 --> 01:28:18,639
Speaker 3: And yeah, and how about that from Baker Mayfield thirty

1761
01:28:18,680 --> 01:28:20,480
Speaker 3: one yards to Rashad White.

1762
01:28:20,360 --> 01:28:22,639
Speaker 1: Yep, I mean it's a thing.

1763
01:28:23,120 --> 01:28:28,040
Speaker 3: Baker Mayfield, Tampa Baker, I mean we kind of joked

1764
01:28:28,040 --> 01:28:30,240
Speaker 3: about it a little bit to start the season, if

1765
01:28:30,600 --> 01:28:34,440
Speaker 3: if he could really be a bit of an elixir

1766
01:28:34,760 --> 01:28:37,599
Speaker 3: for a Tampa Bay offense that seemed like they were

1767
01:28:37,720 --> 01:28:41,320
Speaker 3: left for dead when Tom Brady decided to retire for

1768
01:28:41,439 --> 01:28:42,240
Speaker 3: the second time.

1769
01:28:42,960 --> 01:28:45,280
Speaker 1: And here they are, they're knocking on the door to

1770
01:28:45,360 --> 01:28:46,960
Speaker 1: another playoff bid. Another.

1771
01:28:47,160 --> 01:28:50,680
Speaker 3: By the way, division win for a playoff bid. So

1772
01:28:50,920 --> 01:28:53,200
Speaker 3: this is going to be a Tampa Bay team that

1773
01:28:53,320 --> 01:28:59,280
Speaker 3: could host a Dallas Cowboy. Yes, absolutely, we could have

1774
01:28:59,320 --> 01:29:01,080
Speaker 3: a reset of last year's postseason.

1775
01:29:02,280 --> 01:29:04,880
Speaker 2: The Jaguars are in trouble. The Browns have scored again

1776
01:29:05,160 --> 01:29:08,679
Speaker 2: on a Kareem Hunt run. Browns now lead the Jags

1777
01:29:08,840 --> 01:29:11,439
Speaker 2: twenty one to seven, and it has been a struggle

1778
01:29:11,560 --> 01:29:14,680
Speaker 2: for the hobbled Trevor Lawrence today just one hundred and

1779
01:29:14,680 --> 01:29:18,080
Speaker 2: eight yards passing two interceptions on the day. Joe Flacco

1780
01:29:18,160 --> 01:29:20,320
Speaker 2: has played very solid for the Browns two hundred and

1781
01:29:20,320 --> 01:29:23,280
Speaker 2: twenty four yards. They're getting their running game going. But

1782
01:29:23,800 --> 01:29:26,760
Speaker 2: total offense for the Jaguars and we're midway through the

1783
01:29:26,880 --> 01:29:29,120
Speaker 2: third quarter, they only have one hundred and thirty one

1784
01:29:29,200 --> 01:29:32,800
Speaker 2: yards of offense in this game. So the Browns defense again,

1785
01:29:33,240 --> 01:29:35,679
Speaker 2: you look at the Browns, it's funny you're talking about

1786
01:29:36,080 --> 01:29:40,000
Speaker 2: can Joe Flacco, you know, make a playoff run if

1787
01:29:40,160 --> 01:29:43,519
Speaker 2: they get into the postseason. It's almost identical to his

1788
01:29:43,680 --> 01:29:45,920
Speaker 2: Ravens team, right. I mean when he had Ray Lewis

1789
01:29:46,000 --> 01:29:49,120
Speaker 2: and Ed Reid and you know that incredible Ravens defense.

1790
01:29:49,640 --> 01:29:51,439
Speaker 2: All he had to do was pretty much stay out

1791
01:29:51,479 --> 01:29:54,080
Speaker 2: of the way make a few plays. He played great

1792
01:29:54,120 --> 01:29:56,720
Speaker 2: in that Super Bowl. He deserved that MVP of that

1793
01:29:56,840 --> 01:29:59,719
Speaker 2: Super Bowl. But he could be in a very similar

1794
01:29:59,760 --> 01:30:03,759
Speaker 2: sit situation as good as this Browns defense is. Remember

1795
01:30:03,840 --> 01:30:07,479
Speaker 2: Miles Garrett's not one hundred percent right now physically. When

1796
01:30:07,520 --> 01:30:10,440
Speaker 2: he gets back up to full speed, lookout.

1797
01:30:10,400 --> 01:30:14,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I like Elijah Moore obviously, Mari Cooper

1798
01:30:14,200 --> 01:30:18,040
Speaker 3: is very capable target David and Joku as a quarter

1799
01:30:18,160 --> 01:30:21,440
Speaker 3: or excuse me, a quarterback. A tight end is quarterback's

1800
01:30:21,479 --> 01:30:24,240
Speaker 3: best friend in that Brown's offense. And then you have

1801
01:30:24,360 --> 01:30:26,960
Speaker 3: Jerome Ford and Kareem Hunt the one two punch out

1802
01:30:26,960 --> 01:30:28,400
Speaker 3: of the backfield Flacco.

1803
01:30:28,680 --> 01:30:31,120
Speaker 1: Look is Flacco going to be a world beater?

1804
01:30:31,680 --> 01:30:35,400
Speaker 3: No, but but Flacco if he can keep the wheels on,

1805
01:30:35,560 --> 01:30:38,120
Speaker 3: if he can just make sure not to make the

1806
01:30:38,200 --> 01:30:42,439
Speaker 3: mistakes that that gives the game away. This could be

1807
01:30:43,840 --> 01:30:47,080
Speaker 3: arguably one of the best signings of the season because

1808
01:30:47,240 --> 01:30:49,680
Speaker 3: coming off the couch and playing as well as he

1809
01:30:49,760 --> 01:30:52,680
Speaker 3: has in losses over the past two weeks, I'm very

1810
01:30:52,760 --> 01:30:54,720
Speaker 3: curious to see what happens when they start getting a

1811
01:30:54,760 --> 01:30:57,880
Speaker 3: little confidence around Joe Flacco get a win under his belt.

1812
01:30:58,040 --> 01:31:01,280
Speaker 2: Are we back to is Joe Flacco. No, no, no,

1813
01:31:01,439 --> 01:31:03,519
Speaker 2: he was never a leader, he never will be a lead.

1814
01:31:03,680 --> 01:31:07,800
Speaker 2: But but the g is a very serviceable quarterback and

1815
01:31:07,880 --> 01:31:09,960
Speaker 2: he's won more games than he's lost over the course

1816
01:31:10,040 --> 01:31:13,759
Speaker 2: of his career. It's not looking good for the Texans today. Yikes,

1817
01:31:14,040 --> 01:31:18,679
Speaker 2: fourteen to nothing Jets. Zach Wilson, who reportedly was told

1818
01:31:18,720 --> 01:31:20,519
Speaker 2: by the Jets, we're trading you at the end of

1819
01:31:20,560 --> 01:31:23,360
Speaker 2: the year twenty one of twenty eight two hundred and

1820
01:31:23,400 --> 01:31:25,840
Speaker 2: thirty three yards. He has a passer rating of one

1821
01:31:25,880 --> 01:31:28,880
Speaker 2: to eleven. Meanwhile, c J. Stroud, for the first time

1822
01:31:28,960 --> 01:31:31,920
Speaker 2: this year, looks like a rookie. Eight of eighteen, seventy

1823
01:31:32,000 --> 01:31:36,599
Speaker 2: seven yards, no touchdowns, no picks. Zach Wilson's passer rating

1824
01:31:36,800 --> 01:31:39,519
Speaker 2: is double that of c. J. Stroud in this game.

1825
01:31:39,680 --> 01:31:41,840
Speaker 3: Well, how about that we finally found a way to

1826
01:31:41,920 --> 01:31:45,280
Speaker 3: motivate Zach Wilson. Promise him that he can leave the

1827
01:31:45,360 --> 01:31:47,559
Speaker 3: New York Jets and he will deliver.

1828
01:31:47,800 --> 01:31:49,840
Speaker 2: Well, they need to find someone that's going to take

1829
01:31:49,880 --> 01:31:52,960
Speaker 2: him again. He's got eleven million oh to him next year.

1830
01:31:53,680 --> 01:31:55,280
Speaker 2: I don't know a lot of teams are going to

1831
01:31:55,320 --> 01:31:58,200
Speaker 2: pick that up. I mean, what market value is Zach

1832
01:31:58,200 --> 01:32:00,240
Speaker 2: Wilson that but all of a sudden, who knows if

1833
01:32:00,240 --> 01:32:03,920
Speaker 2: he starts play, well, maybe somebody say, well, hey, wait

1834
01:32:04,000 --> 01:32:07,720
Speaker 2: a second, maybe well we puts on our uniform and

1835
01:32:07,840 --> 01:32:10,240
Speaker 2: that Zack Wilson everyone thought he was coming out of

1836
01:32:10,320 --> 01:32:11,759
Speaker 2: BYU could happen.

1837
01:32:12,080 --> 01:32:14,200
Speaker 1: But that sounds like a lot of money. But in

1838
01:32:14,400 --> 01:32:16,360
Speaker 1: quarterback land it really isn't.

1839
01:32:16,560 --> 01:32:18,320
Speaker 2: It just is in But it is a lot of

1840
01:32:18,360 --> 01:32:21,400
Speaker 2: money if he's nothing more than a backup. I can't

1841
01:32:21,439 --> 01:32:24,120
Speaker 2: be throwing eleven million around for a backup in the NFL.

1842
01:32:24,240 --> 01:32:25,880
Speaker 1: Well, that's where you're wrong. I get it.

1843
01:32:25,960 --> 01:32:27,679
Speaker 3: It sounds like a lot of money for a backup.

1844
01:32:27,720 --> 01:32:30,040
Speaker 3: There are plenty of backups making close to ten million

1845
01:32:30,080 --> 01:32:30,360
Speaker 3: and more.

1846
01:32:30,840 --> 01:32:33,360
Speaker 2: I mean they're just are Well maybe if they are proven.

1847
01:32:34,240 --> 01:32:36,800
Speaker 2: This guy has yet to prove, although today maybe a

1848
01:32:36,840 --> 01:32:39,240
Speaker 2: different story. By the way, Ravens and Rams now tied

1849
01:32:39,320 --> 01:32:41,760
Speaker 2: to twenty nine minutes to go in the third quarter.

1850
01:32:41,800 --> 01:32:43,640
Speaker 2: In that game, we got a lot of action going on.

1851
01:32:43,760 --> 01:32:46,800
Speaker 2: A lot of close games around the NFL. Which ones

1852
01:32:46,840 --> 01:32:49,560
Speaker 2: will go to the finish line? Find out? This is

1853
01:32:49,640 --> 01:32:53,200
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Red Zone Radio, Third down and Kareem Hunt

1854
01:32:53,280 --> 01:32:55,320
Speaker 2: ready to take a direct snap.

1855
01:32:55,400 --> 01:32:55,880
Speaker 1: He takes it.

1856
01:32:56,000 --> 01:32:57,559
Speaker 2: He runs to the let he cuts.

1857
01:32:57,560 --> 01:32:58,240
Speaker 1: It's second two.

1858
01:32:58,479 --> 01:33:03,240
Speaker 2: He's telling the one the goalline who is in touchdown

1859
01:33:03,600 --> 01:33:06,320
Speaker 2: to Ram Hunt and with that.

1860
01:33:06,600 --> 01:33:09,639
Speaker 1: Never give up attitude, one yard at a time.

1861
01:33:11,800 --> 01:33:14,240
Speaker 2: That's the Browns Radio. Never are right there. The Browns

1862
01:33:14,320 --> 01:33:17,080
Speaker 2: lead the Jaguars twenty one to seven. Jags do have

1863
01:33:17,320 --> 01:33:20,680
Speaker 2: though a second and twelve at the Cleveland seventeen yard line,

1864
01:33:20,720 --> 01:33:23,800
Speaker 2: trying to get back in this game. This is Fox

1874
01:33:46,200 --> 01:33:47,880
Speaker 2: right after we get off the air. Now, a couple

1875
01:33:47,880 --> 01:33:51,960
Speaker 2: of crazy things happen while we were away. The Bears

1876
01:33:52,040 --> 01:33:55,320
Speaker 2: and the Lions tied to thirteen. The Bears were facing

1877
01:33:55,439 --> 01:33:59,760
Speaker 2: a fourth and thirteen and they decided to go for

1878
01:33:59,880 --> 01:34:02,200
Speaker 2: it right the Lions jumped off side. It was a

1879
01:34:02,360 --> 01:34:05,000
Speaker 2: free play and the next thing you look up walk

1880
01:34:05,080 --> 01:34:08,599
Speaker 2: in touchdown for the Bears, and then the Bears extra

1881
01:34:08,720 --> 01:34:11,960
Speaker 2: point attempt was blocked. It was actually run back but

1882
01:34:12,080 --> 01:34:14,760
Speaker 2: not into the end zone. So the Bears lead the

1883
01:34:14,840 --> 01:34:17,360
Speaker 2: Lions nineteen to thirteen, a minute a half to go

1884
01:34:17,439 --> 01:34:20,360
Speaker 2: in the third quarter of that game. And then the

1885
01:34:20,640 --> 01:34:23,920
Speaker 2: Rams and the Ravens. This has been a crazy game,

1886
01:34:24,439 --> 01:34:28,160
Speaker 2: tied to twenty and the Ravens had the ball deep

1887
01:34:28,200 --> 01:34:31,479
Speaker 2: in their own territory and the center snap just got

1888
01:34:31,560 --> 01:34:34,760
Speaker 2: away from Lamar Jackson, it went into the end zone.

1889
01:34:34,800 --> 01:34:37,160
Speaker 2: He kicked the ball out of the end zone. That

1890
01:34:37,360 --> 01:34:41,240
Speaker 2: results in a Ram safety. So the Rams lead the

1891
01:34:41,360 --> 01:34:44,640
Speaker 2: Ravens twenty two to twenty six minutes to go in

1892
01:34:44,680 --> 01:34:47,040
Speaker 2: the third quarter. So we're now at that point of

1893
01:34:47,080 --> 01:34:50,519
Speaker 2: the day where things are getting a little nuts, Yeah,

1894
01:34:50,560 --> 01:34:51,160
Speaker 2: a little bit.

1895
01:34:51,400 --> 01:34:53,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is a much closer game than I'm sure

1896
01:34:54,479 --> 01:34:56,880
Speaker 3: the Ravens thought they were in for today. But if

1897
01:34:56,920 --> 01:34:59,120
Speaker 3: you look at the Rams over the course of the season,

1898
01:34:59,280 --> 01:35:03,000
Speaker 3: they have given in panic sweats to some really talented

1899
01:35:03,040 --> 01:35:06,320
Speaker 3: football teams. I mean, look at the loss the second

1900
01:35:06,360 --> 01:35:09,480
Speaker 3: game of the season after the forty nine Ers absolutely

1901
01:35:09,680 --> 01:35:13,479
Speaker 3: dismantled the season, or excuse me, the Steelers in the

1902
01:35:13,560 --> 01:35:17,440
Speaker 3: season opener, they were in a dog fight with the Rams.

1903
01:35:17,240 --> 01:35:17,720
Speaker 1: A whole way.

1904
01:35:17,840 --> 01:35:20,880
Speaker 3: That was a thirty twenty three victory for the forty

1905
01:35:20,960 --> 01:35:23,200
Speaker 3: nine ers over a Rams team that a lot of

1906
01:35:23,240 --> 01:35:25,599
Speaker 3: people are counting out to start the season. You look

1907
01:35:25,640 --> 01:35:29,200
Speaker 3: at the Bengals, or excuse me, the Eagles against the Rams.

1908
01:35:29,880 --> 01:35:32,280
Speaker 3: They had to come out and face them in Los Angeles.

1909
01:35:32,680 --> 01:35:36,920
Speaker 3: But even in a loss the Eagles, they were in

1910
01:35:37,160 --> 01:35:39,880
Speaker 3: for the fight of their life against the Rams. So

1911
01:35:40,680 --> 01:35:44,200
Speaker 3: I guess my point is, even in some of the

1912
01:35:45,080 --> 01:35:48,160
Speaker 3: games against the big dogs where they lost football games,

1913
01:35:48,200 --> 01:35:51,040
Speaker 3: the Rams in they put up a huge fight against

1914
01:35:51,080 --> 01:35:54,360
Speaker 3: these teams and as a result, I mean, finally it's

1915
01:35:54,400 --> 01:35:56,679
Speaker 3: coming together for them. They're on a three game heater

1916
01:35:56,840 --> 01:36:00,479
Speaker 3: right now, beating the Seahawks, Cardinals, and Browns last week

1917
01:36:00,800 --> 01:36:03,680
Speaker 3: heading into Baltimore. So this is a Rams team with

1918
01:36:03,720 --> 01:36:06,200
Speaker 3: a full head of steam and a Ravens team who

1919
01:36:06,360 --> 01:36:08,760
Speaker 3: really seemed to be clicking it into fifth year.

1920
01:36:09,840 --> 01:36:11,599
Speaker 1: They're kind of befuddled right now.

1921
01:36:11,760 --> 01:36:14,360
Speaker 2: All right, good news, bad news, and more bad news

1922
01:36:14,439 --> 01:36:16,599
Speaker 2: for the Texans. So they finally scored. They were down

1923
01:36:16,680 --> 01:36:20,120
Speaker 2: fourteen nothing to the Jets. Devin Singletary a one yard rush.

1924
01:36:20,640 --> 01:36:23,960
Speaker 2: Bad news Ammondola then missed the extra point, so fourteen

1925
01:36:23,960 --> 01:36:26,280
Speaker 2: to six, still Jets. And now the Jets have the

1926
01:36:26,360 --> 01:36:29,160
Speaker 2: ball and they're wearing right down the field as they

1927
01:36:29,200 --> 01:36:32,320
Speaker 2: find themselves in the red zone, trying to essentially put

1928
01:36:32,360 --> 01:36:35,200
Speaker 2: the Texans away. We got inside ten minutes to go

1929
01:36:35,439 --> 01:36:37,759
Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter of this game, Jets leading fourteen

1930
01:36:37,760 --> 01:36:40,559
Speaker 2: to six, And the story of this day has been

1931
01:36:41,320 --> 01:36:44,880
Speaker 2: Zach Wilson twenty five of thirty three, two hundred and

1932
01:36:44,960 --> 01:36:50,160
Speaker 2: ninety two yards, a touchdown, no interceptions. He has had

1933
01:36:50,240 --> 01:36:52,719
Speaker 2: by far his best game of the year and CJ.

1934
01:36:52,880 --> 01:36:55,439
Speaker 2: Stroud has had by far his worst game of the year,

1935
01:36:55,920 --> 01:36:58,560
Speaker 2: just eight of eighteen, only seventy seven yards. He was

1936
01:36:58,720 --> 01:37:02,519
Speaker 2: averaging a league leading two hundred and ninety five yards

1937
01:37:02,560 --> 01:37:05,600
Speaker 2: passing per game, and with less than ten minutes to

1938
01:37:05,640 --> 01:37:08,679
Speaker 2: go on the fourth quarter, he has seventy seven yards passing.

1939
01:37:09,000 --> 01:37:15,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is still a significant and talented Jets defense, right.

1940
01:37:16,240 --> 01:37:18,320
Speaker 3: I think one of the things that we get in

1941
01:37:18,400 --> 01:37:20,719
Speaker 3: the habit of doing when we talk about certain teams.

1942
01:37:20,760 --> 01:37:24,400
Speaker 2: So by the way, touchdown Jets, another touchdown, twenty one

1943
01:37:24,400 --> 01:37:29,759
Speaker 2: to six, continue unbelievable. A second touchdown pass for Zach Wilson,

1944
01:37:30,479 --> 01:37:34,439
Speaker 2: this time to a Bree Hall. So he's now twenty

1945
01:37:34,520 --> 01:37:37,080
Speaker 2: six to thirty four, two hundred ninety five yards, two touchdowns,

1946
01:37:37,160 --> 01:37:37,559
Speaker 2: no picks.

1947
01:37:37,640 --> 01:37:41,479
Speaker 1: They're just piling on. That's unbelievable. But this is a

1948
01:37:41,560 --> 01:37:42,879
Speaker 1: top ten Jets defense.

1949
01:37:43,000 --> 01:37:45,519
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, this is a team that if they

1950
01:37:45,640 --> 01:37:49,599
Speaker 3: had a capable quarterback again, I would be a much

1951
01:37:49,680 --> 01:37:52,240
Speaker 3: different looking season for the New York Jets. This is

1952
01:37:52,320 --> 01:37:54,920
Speaker 3: a really talented group on the defensive side of the ball,

1953
01:37:55,439 --> 01:37:58,760
Speaker 3: and during a time in the NFL where people don't

1954
01:37:58,800 --> 01:38:01,439
Speaker 3: concentrate on the defense, especially in the early portion of

1955
01:38:01,479 --> 01:38:04,120
Speaker 3: the season, all of a sudden with bad weather games

1956
01:38:04,160 --> 01:38:06,479
Speaker 3: starting to come out, especially since the Jets playing an

1957
01:38:06,520 --> 01:38:10,000
Speaker 3: outdoor venue and so do many of the AFC East

1958
01:38:10,040 --> 01:38:13,080
Speaker 3: Division rivals. I mean, having a great defense is a

1959
01:38:13,280 --> 01:38:17,320
Speaker 3: huge reason why bringing in a cold weather talented, great

1960
01:38:17,520 --> 01:38:20,280
Speaker 3: quarterback like Aaron Rodgers was supposed to complete the picture

1961
01:38:20,360 --> 01:38:22,880
Speaker 3: for them. He gets hurt and so what you're left

1962
01:38:22,960 --> 01:38:27,320
Speaker 3: with is a great defense, yes, but an underperforming offense

1963
01:38:27,439 --> 01:38:29,599
Speaker 3: because you've had the likes of Zack Wilson and Tim

1964
01:38:29,680 --> 01:38:32,080
Speaker 3: Boyle starting for you for the majority of the season,

1965
01:38:32,439 --> 01:38:35,479
Speaker 3: but Zach Wilson today, you gotta give the guy credit.

1966
01:38:35,920 --> 01:38:39,080
Speaker 3: This is a Texans defense that has been giving talented

1967
01:38:39,160 --> 01:38:42,200
Speaker 3: quarterbacks fits, and he's dicing him up this afternoon.

1968
01:38:42,439 --> 01:38:45,799
Speaker 2: All right, Lions are in trouble after giving up that touchdown.

1969
01:38:45,880 --> 01:38:48,240
Speaker 2: Even with the miss exer point, Bears took the nineteen

1970
01:38:48,240 --> 01:38:51,200
Speaker 2: to thirteen lead. Lions got the ball back and fumbled

1971
01:38:51,720 --> 01:38:54,400
Speaker 2: recovered by the Bears. The Bears now have a first

1972
01:38:54,479 --> 01:38:57,760
Speaker 2: and ten at the Detroit fourteen yard line as we

1973
01:38:57,880 --> 01:39:00,439
Speaker 2: have come to the end of the third quarter. This

1974
01:39:00,560 --> 01:39:02,720
Speaker 2: would not be a good loss for the Lions. I

1975
01:39:02,840 --> 01:39:06,320
Speaker 2: know they're in great position obviously in their own division,

1976
01:39:06,920 --> 01:39:09,760
Speaker 2: but this is where you talk about home field. I

1977
01:39:09,800 --> 01:39:11,880
Speaker 2: think the Lions, even though they've had a great road

1978
01:39:11,920 --> 01:39:14,519
Speaker 2: record this year, would much rather play some home games

1979
01:39:14,920 --> 01:39:18,600
Speaker 2: that maybe go out in the cold or something in January. So,

1980
01:39:18,880 --> 01:39:21,760
Speaker 2: you know, I look at the Lions very much as

1981
01:39:21,840 --> 01:39:24,519
Speaker 2: I did the Jaguars. These are two teams that are

1982
01:39:24,720 --> 01:39:27,759
Speaker 2: definitely moving in the right direction after years of losing.

1983
01:39:28,560 --> 01:39:31,360
Speaker 2: But are they ready for prime time? That remains to

1984
01:39:31,439 --> 01:39:31,800
Speaker 2: be seen.

1985
01:39:32,479 --> 01:39:34,760
Speaker 3: You can't have that fumble, I mean, there's just no

1986
01:39:34,880 --> 01:39:37,799
Speaker 3: two ways about it. You just cannot have that fumble

1987
01:39:37,920 --> 01:39:43,000
Speaker 3: deep in your own territory. It's just that is the

1988
01:39:43,120 --> 01:39:46,240
Speaker 3: play if the Bears win, because again, remember they just

1989
01:39:46,320 --> 01:39:49,840
Speaker 3: scored the goal ahead touchdown nineteen thirteen ballgame. You get

1990
01:39:49,880 --> 01:39:52,640
Speaker 3: the ball back after the ensuing kickoff, you fumble it

1991
01:39:52,720 --> 01:39:55,160
Speaker 3: in your own territory. If the Bears finish this drive

1992
01:39:55,280 --> 01:39:57,519
Speaker 3: with six points, I mean kiss your chances of winning

1993
01:39:57,560 --> 01:39:58,280
Speaker 3: this game goodbye.

1994
01:39:58,400 --> 01:40:01,559
Speaker 1: Virtually that is the play of the game right there,

1995
01:40:02,160 --> 01:40:03,600
Speaker 1: and you just can't do it.

1996
01:40:03,840 --> 01:40:07,200
Speaker 3: Good teams don't make mistakes that hurt their chances to

1997
01:40:07,240 --> 01:40:11,479
Speaker 3: win football games, or should say great teams. Good teams

1998
01:40:11,920 --> 01:40:14,439
Speaker 3: now they'll make half in half, they'll make the players

1999
01:40:14,479 --> 01:40:15,320
Speaker 3: that win them games.

2000
01:40:15,640 --> 01:40:17,840
Speaker 1: They'll make the plays that lose them games.

2001
01:40:18,160 --> 01:40:21,839
Speaker 3: Bad teams, it's obvious they make more of those mistakes

2002
01:40:21,880 --> 01:40:24,960
Speaker 3: that harm their opportunity to win football games. On others,

2003
01:40:25,320 --> 01:40:31,320
Speaker 3: it's all about turnover margin, penalties, and time of possession

2004
01:40:31,439 --> 01:40:33,080
Speaker 3: down the stretch of the football season.

2005
01:40:33,120 --> 01:40:35,519
Speaker 1: If you look at those three categories.

2006
01:40:35,479 --> 01:40:38,479
Speaker 3: Typically I could tell you who's gonna win every single

2007
01:40:38,600 --> 01:40:40,920
Speaker 3: game based on those three categories.

2008
01:40:40,960 --> 01:40:45,240
Speaker 2: All right, So, speaking of turnovers, the Browns seemingly control

2009
01:40:45,400 --> 01:40:48,959
Speaker 2: leading twenty one to seven, had the ball and fumbled

2010
01:40:49,240 --> 01:40:52,160
Speaker 2: recovered by the Jaguars. They end up getting in the

2011
01:40:52,320 --> 01:40:55,240
Speaker 2: end zone on an ETN one yard run, So all

2012
01:40:55,280 --> 01:40:57,400
Speaker 2: of a sudden, the Browns, who have dominated this game

2013
01:40:57,479 --> 01:41:00,400
Speaker 2: against the Jaguars, their lead would still I've been as

2014
01:41:00,479 --> 01:41:03,040
Speaker 2: go on the third quarter, just twenty one to fourteen.

2015
01:41:03,080 --> 01:41:06,519
Speaker 2: It's amazing how these turnovers can change the fortune of

2016
01:41:06,720 --> 01:41:09,560
Speaker 2: any team around the NFL. Right, let's find out what

2017
01:41:09,720 --> 01:41:13,559
Speaker 2: is trending right now. Things are getting very interesting, tightening

2018
01:41:13,640 --> 01:41:15,840
Speaker 2: up in a lot against some crazy things. Montsia had

2019
01:41:15,880 --> 01:41:18,040
Speaker 2: just been happening. I don't know in the last ten

2020
01:41:18,160 --> 01:41:19,040
Speaker 2: minutes a little bit.

2021
01:41:19,200 --> 01:41:21,680
Speaker 10: Yeah, that touchdown by the Jaguars, they had to review it.

2022
01:41:21,800 --> 01:41:24,479
Speaker 9: Travis CTN did a really good job of staying upright,

2023
01:41:24,600 --> 01:41:27,680
Speaker 9: twisting and turning got in the end zone, and that

2024
01:41:28,000 --> 01:41:29,640
Speaker 9: is what you were just talking about. They took a

2025
01:41:29,760 --> 01:41:31,519
Speaker 9: minute to review it. But the Browns are still up

2026
01:41:31,560 --> 01:41:34,240
Speaker 9: twenty one to fourteen. But let's move on to Cincinnati

2027
01:41:34,320 --> 01:41:35,320
Speaker 9: because right now, Jake.

2028
01:41:35,240 --> 01:41:38,320
Speaker 10: Browning is not in the game. It's AJ mccaron. Apparently

2029
01:41:38,400 --> 01:41:40,040
Speaker 10: he has some muscle cramps.

2030
01:41:40,120 --> 01:41:42,240
Speaker 9: Browning so he's currently out of the game, but it

2031
01:41:42,439 --> 01:41:45,640
Speaker 9: is probable that he will return for Cincinnati. They are

2032
01:41:45,760 --> 01:41:48,080
Speaker 9: beating the Colts thirty one to fourteen early in the

2033
01:41:48,200 --> 01:41:51,240
Speaker 9: fourth quarter. Bears have just taken the lead. It was

2034
01:41:51,400 --> 01:41:53,960
Speaker 9: a touchdown pass from Justin Fields to DJ Moore, who

2035
01:41:54,000 --> 01:41:55,320
Speaker 9: also has a rushing touchdown.

2036
01:41:55,760 --> 01:41:56,760
Speaker 10: Extra point was miss.

2037
01:41:56,840 --> 01:42:00,479
Speaker 9: But Chicago is beating Detroit nineteen to thirteen, and actually

2038
01:42:00,560 --> 01:42:01,479
Speaker 9: they just scored again.

2039
01:42:02,000 --> 01:42:04,599
Speaker 10: So the Bears rushing touchdown Justin Fields.

2040
01:42:04,960 --> 01:42:08,240
Speaker 9: So Bears up twenty five to thirteen against the Lions

2041
01:42:08,320 --> 01:42:11,320
Speaker 9: early in the fourth quarter. The Buccaneers holding on to

2042
01:42:11,400 --> 01:42:13,880
Speaker 9: a slight lead over the Falcons nineteen to seventeen early

2043
01:42:13,960 --> 01:42:16,560
Speaker 9: in the fourth as well, we come down to the

2044
01:42:16,680 --> 01:42:19,760
Speaker 9: game of the hour the Jets and the Texans. I

2045
01:42:19,960 --> 01:42:22,280
Speaker 9: did not have on my bingo card that Zach Wilson

2046
01:42:22,400 --> 01:42:23,880
Speaker 9: was going to outplay c. J.

2047
01:42:24,040 --> 01:42:24,439
Speaker 2: Stroud.

2048
01:42:24,880 --> 01:42:26,559
Speaker 10: I did not have the spellace.

2049
01:42:27,600 --> 01:42:31,320
Speaker 2: You think there's anybody anybody that played Zack Wilson today, I.

2050
01:42:31,560 --> 01:42:34,880
Speaker 9: Really do not think there's no way. Somebody was like

2051
01:42:35,040 --> 01:42:37,280
Speaker 9: a desperate times called for desperate measures. I don't know

2052
01:42:37,280 --> 01:42:39,800
Speaker 9: about Zack Wilson after the story that he didn't want

2053
01:42:39,840 --> 01:42:42,280
Speaker 9: to go back out there, that he was reluctant and

2054
01:42:42,560 --> 01:42:44,680
Speaker 9: look at him two hundred and ninety five yards in

2055
01:42:44,720 --> 01:42:47,439
Speaker 9: the air and two touchdowns, Jets up on the Texans

2056
01:42:47,479 --> 01:42:50,760
Speaker 9: twenty one to six, eight minutes to go in the game.

2057
01:42:51,160 --> 01:42:54,000
Speaker 9: The Ravens are still losing to the Rams at home

2058
01:42:54,080 --> 01:42:56,280
Speaker 9: twenty two to twenty two minutes to go in the

2059
01:42:56,360 --> 01:42:58,800
Speaker 9: third quarter, and the Saints have a lead over the

2060
01:42:58,880 --> 01:43:01,880
Speaker 9: Panthers fourteen to six, eight minutes to go in the

2061
01:43:01,960 --> 01:43:05,599
Speaker 9: fourth quarter. Another thing that is trending is the line

2062
01:43:06,560 --> 01:43:09,800
Speaker 9: to get into the USC game where Bronnie James is.

2063
01:43:09,800 --> 01:43:11,360
Speaker 10: Supposed to make his debut.

2064
01:43:12,000 --> 01:43:14,599
Speaker 9: He's supposed to be coming off the bench for this one,

2065
01:43:14,920 --> 01:43:20,000
Speaker 9: but the line is long, and his dad is there, right,

2066
01:43:20,240 --> 01:43:22,840
Speaker 9: that's what I assume. He said he wouldn't miss it.

2067
01:43:23,120 --> 01:43:25,439
Speaker 9: And a lot of people in this line are wearing

2068
01:43:25,520 --> 01:43:28,360
Speaker 9: lebron James jerseys. Yeah, yes, a lot of Lakers, a

2069
01:43:28,400 --> 01:43:30,360
Speaker 9: lot of Cavaliers, a lot of I see it all.

2070
01:43:30,400 --> 01:43:32,760
Speaker 10: But this line is long. I just asked Bo. I

2071
01:43:32,800 --> 01:43:33,880
Speaker 10: was like, bo, what are you doing here?

2072
01:43:34,360 --> 01:43:37,640
Speaker 9: You should be at this game wearing his USC sweatshirt

2073
01:43:38,160 --> 01:43:42,639
Speaker 9: as we speak, But no, not at Bronnie's USC debut. Bau.

2074
01:43:43,040 --> 01:43:46,120
Speaker 2: No, Now, that's an amazing story. I just for that

2075
01:43:46,240 --> 01:43:47,800
Speaker 2: young man. I hope everything goes well.

2076
01:43:47,960 --> 01:43:51,880
Speaker 10: Yes, yes, definitely, and that's it. Fellows back to.

2077
01:43:51,920 --> 01:43:55,120
Speaker 2: You, all right, MONSI thank you very much once again

2078
01:43:55,160 --> 01:43:58,680
Speaker 2: this year Fox's red zone Ready out Steve Harbin and

2079
01:43:58,880 --> 01:44:02,519
Speaker 2: Rich Ornberger. The Bears did score again. They lead the

2080
01:44:02,600 --> 01:44:04,760
Speaker 2: Lions twenty five to thirteen. They went for a two

2081
01:44:04,840 --> 01:44:08,880
Speaker 2: point conversion, did not get it again, Jared Goff. As

2082
01:44:08,920 --> 01:44:11,000
Speaker 2: we head to the fourth quarter, only one hundred and

2083
01:44:11,040 --> 01:44:14,320
Speaker 2: five yards passing. Let's get Chris back on right now

2084
01:44:14,400 --> 01:44:19,000
Speaker 2: to talk about his Lions sinking quick. Wheels are falling

2085
01:44:19,080 --> 01:44:20,760
Speaker 2: off here, Chris, what's going on? So?

2086
01:44:21,280 --> 01:44:22,519
Speaker 4: I don't know what to make of it.

2087
01:44:22,920 --> 01:44:26,200
Speaker 8: It's become known as the turd quarter where the Detroit

2088
01:44:26,320 --> 01:44:29,080
Speaker 8: Lions are in that the offense does not do anything

2089
01:44:29,160 --> 01:44:31,839
Speaker 8: in the third quarter. And that was probably the biggest

2090
01:44:31,880 --> 01:44:35,600
Speaker 8: third quarters I've seen all seasons so far. You have,

2091
01:44:35,760 --> 01:44:39,759
Speaker 8: I think three straight three and outs, and the defense,

2092
01:44:39,800 --> 01:44:42,320
Speaker 8: which has been the weakness for the Lions these past

2093
01:44:42,320 --> 01:44:44,360
Speaker 8: few games, did everything they could to stand on their

2094
01:44:44,400 --> 01:44:47,519
Speaker 8: head for all of these drives. And you know, finally

2095
01:44:47,640 --> 01:44:49,640
Speaker 8: the wheels fall off for that. And the first thing

2096
01:44:49,760 --> 01:44:52,760
Speaker 8: Jared Goff does, trying to wear these gloves in cold

2097
01:44:52,840 --> 01:44:56,720
Speaker 8: weather is botch the snap and just completely screwed up

2098
01:44:56,760 --> 01:44:58,479
Speaker 8: and give it back to the Bears. Wow, this is

2099
01:44:58,479 --> 01:45:01,719
Speaker 8: about where the Lions were last time with the Chicago

2100
01:45:01,760 --> 01:45:03,720
Speaker 8: Bears when they came back to win it. But this

2101
01:45:03,920 --> 01:45:06,840
Speaker 8: is a completely different set and the offense really needs

2102
01:45:06,880 --> 01:45:08,320
Speaker 8: to go back to what they were doing in the

2103
01:45:08,560 --> 01:45:11,600
Speaker 8: second quarter and forget everything that just happened in the

2104
01:45:11,640 --> 01:45:12,679
Speaker 8: third quarter right there.

2105
01:45:12,520 --> 01:45:15,360
Speaker 2: All right, So not good for the Lions right now.

2106
01:45:15,479 --> 01:45:19,280
Speaker 2: By the way, the Saints leading the Panthers fourteen to six,

2107
01:45:19,479 --> 01:45:22,920
Speaker 2: are at the Carolina nineteen yard line. Try to add

2108
01:45:22,960 --> 01:45:29,720
Speaker 2: to their lead there, and the Indianapolis Colts had a

2109
01:45:29,880 --> 01:45:32,000
Speaker 2: chance well actually they have a second goal at the

2110
01:45:32,040 --> 01:45:34,200
Speaker 2: twenty five yard line of the Bengals. Bengals lead this

2111
01:45:34,280 --> 01:45:37,040
Speaker 2: game thirty one to fourteen. Once again, Jake Brown's been

2112
01:45:37,080 --> 01:45:41,439
Speaker 2: outstanding for Cincinnati Colts trying to get back in this game.

2113
01:45:41,520 --> 01:45:45,120
Speaker 2: Don't count them out. So we I mean again, right

2114
01:45:45,200 --> 01:45:48,439
Speaker 2: now the largest lead on the board, Well, we have

2115
01:45:48,520 --> 01:45:53,439
Speaker 2: the Bengals up seventeen, but it's the Jets really taking

2116
01:45:53,520 --> 01:45:56,120
Speaker 2: care of business against the Texans twenty one to six

2117
01:45:56,240 --> 01:45:58,880
Speaker 2: there with seven minutes to go, and this Rams Ravens

2118
01:45:59,000 --> 01:46:03,360
Speaker 2: game man Rams twenty on a safety as we head

2119
01:46:03,400 --> 01:46:07,080
Speaker 2: of the fourth quarter. I did not expect this. Every

2120
01:46:07,120 --> 01:46:10,560
Speaker 2: time I've really touted Baltimore as the team to be,

2121
01:46:10,720 --> 01:46:12,400
Speaker 2: it's like the kiss of death. You've seen it so

2122
01:46:12,479 --> 01:46:14,960
Speaker 2: many times over the years. Rich when I really start

2123
01:46:15,040 --> 01:46:19,320
Speaker 2: pushing a team saying, all right, they've emerged above the

2124
01:46:19,439 --> 01:46:22,639
Speaker 2: rest of the crowd, they lay an egg. Ravens lose

2125
01:46:22,720 --> 01:46:25,400
Speaker 2: at home today to the Rams. Is this possible? We'll

2126
01:46:25,400 --> 01:46:28,120
Speaker 2: see what happens. Ravens have the ball trailing twenty two

2127
01:46:28,160 --> 01:46:30,840
Speaker 2: to twenty. They're at midfield right now. But this Rams

2128
01:46:30,920 --> 01:46:33,320
Speaker 2: team exceeding all expectations.

2129
01:46:33,439 --> 01:46:35,639
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, I think the Rams have kind of done

2130
01:46:35,680 --> 01:46:38,280
Speaker 3: that all season long. What the Ravens really need to

2131
01:46:38,360 --> 01:46:41,560
Speaker 3: do is when they're put into these third down situations

2132
01:46:42,320 --> 01:46:45,960
Speaker 3: is to start converting. They're only two of seven when

2133
01:46:46,000 --> 01:46:49,560
Speaker 3: they get to it. They've been significantly better than the

2134
01:46:49,720 --> 01:46:52,720
Speaker 3: Rams on early downs and that's the reason why they've

2135
01:46:52,760 --> 01:46:54,520
Speaker 3: avoided some of those opportunities.

2136
01:46:55,280 --> 01:46:57,160
Speaker 1: But we've seen it in this half.

2137
01:46:57,400 --> 01:47:00,680
Speaker 3: You know, settling for a field goal the safety was

2138
01:47:00,720 --> 01:47:04,519
Speaker 3: a mistake, obviously, and then Lamar Jackson probably did this

2139
01:47:04,600 --> 01:47:06,280
Speaker 3: smart thing kicking it out the back of.

2140
01:47:06,320 --> 01:47:07,000
Speaker 1: The end zone.

2141
01:47:07,760 --> 01:47:13,600
Speaker 3: This way, it saved them from from potentially a defensive.

2142
01:47:13,160 --> 01:47:16,160
Speaker 1: Score there but two field goals this half.

2143
01:47:16,640 --> 01:47:19,800
Speaker 3: They've got to start converting on these third downs and

2144
01:47:20,600 --> 01:47:24,240
Speaker 3: and and if they and if so in the fringe

2145
01:47:24,280 --> 01:47:28,520
Speaker 3: area or in the red zone, begin to scoring touchdowns

2146
01:47:28,560 --> 01:47:30,640
Speaker 3: because if they don't, they're not gonna be able to

2147
01:47:30,720 --> 01:47:32,600
Speaker 3: catch the Rams, because the Rams are putting in the

2148
01:47:32,680 --> 01:47:33,080
Speaker 3: end zone.

2149
01:47:33,520 --> 01:47:33,880
Speaker 1: All right.

2150
01:47:34,160 --> 01:47:36,439
Speaker 2: By the way, we have two Moneay Night games that

2151
01:47:36,560 --> 01:47:40,960
Speaker 2: are on at the same time this week, Titans at

2152
01:47:41,000 --> 01:47:43,760
Speaker 2: the Dolphins, Packers at the Giants. Are you a fan

2153
01:47:43,840 --> 01:47:44,000
Speaker 2: of that?

2154
01:47:45,960 --> 01:47:47,360
Speaker 1: Repeat that one more time.

2155
01:47:47,640 --> 01:47:52,120
Speaker 2: We have two Monday night games Titans at the Dolphins,

2156
01:47:52,240 --> 01:47:54,640
Speaker 2: Packers at the Giants, and they kick off at the

2157
01:47:54,760 --> 01:47:56,360
Speaker 2: exact same time.

2158
01:47:56,479 --> 01:47:59,840
Speaker 3: Okay, So you just informed me of something just now,

2159
01:48:00,080 --> 01:48:03,120
Speaker 3: because it wasn't until you just mentioned it that I

2160
01:48:03,640 --> 01:48:06,080
Speaker 3: knew that it was a Monday night doubleheader.

2161
01:48:06,240 --> 01:48:08,280
Speaker 1: And I hate it. Yeah, and I hate it so.

2162
01:48:08,400 --> 01:48:10,680
Speaker 2: Much, especially when the games are kicking off at the

2163
01:48:10,760 --> 01:48:11,439
Speaker 2: same time.

2164
01:48:11,600 --> 01:48:14,720
Speaker 3: And they've started doing this, you know obviously start of

2165
01:48:14,880 --> 01:48:18,000
Speaker 3: last season, where when they have dual Monday nighters, they

2166
01:48:18,040 --> 01:48:21,000
Speaker 3: either they either stagger them only by an hour or

2167
01:48:21,080 --> 01:48:23,000
Speaker 3: they kick them off at the same time and I

2168
01:48:23,040 --> 01:48:27,960
Speaker 3: think it's ridiculous have these games kick off at different times,

2169
01:48:28,080 --> 01:48:29,560
Speaker 3: have two separated.

2170
01:48:29,160 --> 01:48:32,160
Speaker 2: Well, they're both East Coast games, but I mean ones

2171
01:48:32,200 --> 01:48:34,639
Speaker 2: in Miami, ones in New York. But I'm like, why

2172
01:48:35,360 --> 01:48:37,479
Speaker 2: why did you do that? I mean, the schedule makers

2173
01:48:37,520 --> 01:48:40,400
Speaker 2: can obviously change things up. Why would you have two

2174
01:48:40,600 --> 01:48:44,000
Speaker 2: East Coast Monday night games kicking off at the exact

2175
01:48:44,040 --> 01:48:44,479
Speaker 2: same time.

2176
01:48:45,120 --> 01:48:49,800
Speaker 1: It's this is terrible. This is terrible. I you know what,

2177
01:48:50,120 --> 01:48:54,240
Speaker 1: I get it that the NFL is trying new things,

2178
01:48:54,439 --> 01:48:56,840
Speaker 1: and I like that. I appreciate that.

2179
01:48:56,960 --> 01:48:59,360
Speaker 3: In fact, you know, I was talking about this all

2180
01:48:59,400 --> 01:49:01,639
Speaker 3: week long with the in game or I should say

2181
01:49:01,720 --> 01:49:05,840
Speaker 3: in season tournament in the NBA that I appreciate Commissioner

2182
01:49:05,880 --> 01:49:09,080
Speaker 3: Adam Silver for trying new things. I think the group

2183
01:49:09,120 --> 01:49:11,920
Speaker 3: play was a complete fumble. I think the knockout stage

2184
01:49:12,080 --> 01:49:15,160
Speaker 3: was a good thing. I also give credit where credits

2185
01:49:15,240 --> 01:49:18,080
Speaker 3: due some of the changes he's made recently, the All

2186
01:49:18,200 --> 01:49:20,919
Speaker 3: Star Game, the playing tournament, in the playoffs.

2187
01:49:21,160 --> 01:49:23,040
Speaker 1: I'm not in love with all of it, but I

2188
01:49:23,240 --> 01:49:24,160
Speaker 1: like ideas.

2189
01:49:24,400 --> 01:49:26,880
Speaker 3: I like fresh ideas to try to make things better,

2190
01:49:27,280 --> 01:49:30,040
Speaker 3: because obviously that's what he's.

2191
01:49:29,880 --> 01:49:33,200
Speaker 1: Trying to do. And with Rogerdell, I'll give the same credit.

2192
01:49:33,439 --> 01:49:36,200
Speaker 3: You want to try out doubleheaders on Monday night football

2193
01:49:36,600 --> 01:49:40,280
Speaker 3: in the late season, fine, go for it, but don't

2194
01:49:40,360 --> 01:49:43,600
Speaker 3: do it this way, because how could you honestly know

2195
01:49:44,280 --> 01:49:45,560
Speaker 3: who's checking in for what?

2196
01:49:47,520 --> 01:49:49,360
Speaker 1: Or how many more people would check in for what?

2197
01:49:49,680 --> 01:49:52,000
Speaker 1: If you do it this way, stagger.

2198
01:49:51,720 --> 01:49:54,160
Speaker 3: The kickoff times, and then you'll have a better and

2199
01:49:54,240 --> 01:49:57,559
Speaker 3: more complete idea of what viewership looks like in certain regions.

2200
01:49:57,600 --> 01:50:00,840
Speaker 1: I think this is really a complete mi for the NFL.

2201
01:50:01,040 --> 01:50:03,200
Speaker 2: And by the way, next week, of course, this being

2202
01:50:03,240 --> 01:50:05,599
Speaker 2: the last week of the buys, the last two teams

2203
01:50:05,680 --> 01:50:08,559
Speaker 2: were the Cardinals and the Commanders. We get a full

2204
01:50:08,720 --> 01:50:11,799
Speaker 2: sixteen game slate slate for the rest of the regular season,

2205
01:50:11,880 --> 01:50:15,160
Speaker 2: and next week we have Saturday games. That's right, So

2206
01:50:15,240 --> 01:50:18,400
Speaker 2: we have three Saturday games and they're not kicking off

2207
01:50:18,640 --> 01:50:19,280
Speaker 2: at the same time.

2208
01:50:19,720 --> 01:50:22,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I'm way more in favor of that. Yeah,

2209
01:50:22,160 --> 01:50:24,200
Speaker 3: you know that makes sense. Grab another space on the

2210
01:50:24,200 --> 01:50:27,240
Speaker 3: Bengo board. You know what, instead of doing doubleheader Monday

2211
01:50:27,280 --> 01:50:29,760
Speaker 3: night football, how about we do a Tuesday night football game?

2212
01:50:30,280 --> 01:50:32,840
Speaker 2: Like, I mean, what a second, Hold on a second here,

2213
01:50:33,640 --> 01:50:36,680
Speaker 2: let's think from a player standpoint, there's enough moaning and

2214
01:50:36,760 --> 01:50:39,400
Speaker 2: groaning about a Thursday night game. Look at you and

2215
01:50:39,479 --> 01:50:42,559
Speaker 2: I had this suggestion years ago when they were going

2216
01:50:42,640 --> 01:50:45,960
Speaker 2: to expand the schedule to seventeen games. This made all

2217
01:50:46,000 --> 01:50:48,639
Speaker 2: the sense in the world to us. Instead of having

2218
01:50:48,800 --> 01:50:51,519
Speaker 2: one team have eight home games and then or nine

2219
01:50:51,560 --> 01:50:54,880
Speaker 2: home games, how about if every team has eight home games,

2220
01:50:54,960 --> 01:50:59,360
Speaker 2: eight road games, and one neutral site game. They can

2221
01:50:59,400 --> 01:51:03,200
Speaker 2: be played anywhere and it would be on a Tuesday.

2222
01:51:03,680 --> 01:51:04,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, think about that.

2223
01:51:05,320 --> 01:51:08,000
Speaker 2: You could have picked it could be there in a

2224
01:51:08,040 --> 01:51:11,439
Speaker 2: happy valley. There are so many football stadiums around the

2225
01:51:11,520 --> 01:51:14,880
Speaker 2: country anywhere where you would have a neutral sight game.

2226
01:51:15,640 --> 01:51:16,479
Speaker 1: It would be huge.

2227
01:51:16,720 --> 01:51:19,320
Speaker 2: Well, and then put it on a unique night like Tuesday.

2228
01:51:20,160 --> 01:51:23,360
Speaker 2: Now you got Now see that's thinking outside the box.

2229
01:51:23,640 --> 01:51:27,000
Speaker 3: Well, and what I get your point about Thursday night

2230
01:51:27,040 --> 01:51:29,160
Speaker 3: football and all the belly aching. The belly aching is

2231
01:51:29,200 --> 01:51:32,080
Speaker 3: because you go from Sunday to Thursday. Right, that's an

2232
01:51:32,120 --> 01:51:35,080
Speaker 3: insane turnaround. You actually add a day if you go

2233
01:51:35,200 --> 01:51:39,000
Speaker 3: from Tuesday to Sunday. Right, So week fifteen you play

2234
01:51:39,240 --> 01:51:42,719
Speaker 3: a Tuesday night game, Well, you actually get an extra

2235
01:51:42,920 --> 01:51:46,360
Speaker 3: day compared to the teams that played a week like.

2236
01:51:46,479 --> 01:51:48,599
Speaker 3: So if you go week fifteen into sixteen, you play

2237
01:51:48,640 --> 01:51:52,479
Speaker 3: a Sunday game on Week sixteen. Week seventeen, you play

2238
01:51:52,520 --> 01:51:55,240
Speaker 3: a Thursday night game, well you get Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,

2239
01:51:55,280 --> 01:51:57,920
Speaker 3: and then Thursday you're playing, So there's only three days

2240
01:51:57,960 --> 01:52:00,599
Speaker 3: off in between. Whereas if say you did a week

2241
01:52:00,720 --> 01:52:04,160
Speaker 3: fourteen Tuesday night game and then you kick off on Sunday,

2242
01:52:04,360 --> 01:52:07,040
Speaker 3: well you get Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and then you

2243
01:52:07,160 --> 01:52:09,720
Speaker 3: play on Sunday, which means you get four days off

2244
01:52:09,760 --> 01:52:10,240
Speaker 3: in between.

2245
01:52:10,520 --> 01:52:14,960
Speaker 1: That extra day is enormous. That's huge. So look, I

2246
01:52:15,160 --> 01:52:18,400
Speaker 1: get what the NFL is trying to do. Again, the more.

2247
01:52:18,360 --> 01:52:20,800
Speaker 3: Content you can put out there, the better, especially in

2248
01:52:20,880 --> 01:52:24,479
Speaker 3: primetime slots. But a don't bunch it up like this

2249
01:52:25,080 --> 01:52:27,840
Speaker 3: in the same night that you've already won. Monday nights

2250
01:52:27,880 --> 01:52:31,800
Speaker 3: belong to the NFL. B you have a fresh opportunity

2251
01:52:32,120 --> 01:52:34,640
Speaker 3: at any point you like to land a game in

2252
01:52:34,720 --> 01:52:37,320
Speaker 3: Tuesday night. Now again, I think that's something that you'd

2253
01:52:37,360 --> 01:52:39,800
Speaker 3: have to discuss with the players' union, et cetera. But

2254
01:52:39,920 --> 01:52:41,599
Speaker 3: I think that would be more of a winner for them.

2255
01:52:41,760 --> 01:52:45,840
Speaker 2: All Right, it's getting worse for the Lions. So after

2256
01:52:46,040 --> 01:52:49,080
Speaker 2: the touchdown to put the Bears up twenty five thirteen,

2257
01:52:49,880 --> 01:52:52,880
Speaker 2: the Lions had a fourth and one at their own

2258
01:52:53,200 --> 01:52:56,719
Speaker 2: thirty four yard line. They went for it and Gibbs

2259
01:52:56,800 --> 01:53:01,160
Speaker 2: gets caught for a four yard loss turnover. On downs,

2260
01:53:01,200 --> 01:53:04,280
Speaker 2: the Bears just got a field goal, So twenty eight.

2261
01:53:04,600 --> 01:53:06,800
Speaker 2: What the hell was going on with that one? Chris,

2262
01:53:07,200 --> 01:53:10,040
Speaker 2: you're gonna go you're down twelve. No, that's the right

2263
01:53:10,200 --> 01:53:12,320
Speaker 2: that's the right decision to go fourth and one. You

2264
01:53:12,520 --> 01:53:15,080
Speaker 2: need something to drive and not just have another three

2265
01:53:15,160 --> 01:53:18,680
Speaker 2: and out. Yeah, but it's like you didn't put your

2266
01:53:19,160 --> 01:53:23,040
Speaker 2: run stuff, the power back in the game. You run

2267
01:53:23,120 --> 01:53:25,600
Speaker 2: that play way behind the line of scrimmage. It was

2268
01:53:25,640 --> 01:53:27,760
Speaker 2: a terrible play call. It was the right decision to

2269
01:53:27,840 --> 01:53:28,200
Speaker 2: go for it.

2270
01:53:28,439 --> 01:53:30,280
Speaker 8: I know you hate these fourth and go for it,

2271
01:53:30,400 --> 01:53:32,880
Speaker 8: but like, the right idea was to keep your offense

2272
01:53:33,000 --> 01:53:35,439
Speaker 8: on the field and actually get points. You can't just

2273
01:53:35,520 --> 01:53:38,439
Speaker 8: keep asking the defense to keep baeling you out over it.

2274
01:53:38,520 --> 01:53:40,920
Speaker 8: They've been standing on their game for their heads for

2275
01:53:41,000 --> 01:53:43,120
Speaker 8: an entire half. They need a break. You have to

2276
01:53:43,240 --> 01:53:45,880
Speaker 8: go down the field. You have to go down the field.

2277
01:53:45,920 --> 01:53:48,240
Speaker 8: You have to actually score points, John Madden, that's how

2278
01:53:48,280 --> 01:53:49,400
Speaker 8: you win ball games.

2279
01:53:49,600 --> 01:53:52,360
Speaker 2: Okay, you can see he's fired up right now. This

2280
01:53:52,560 --> 01:53:56,760
Speaker 2: game is quickly evaporating from there. That's not over. I

2281
01:53:56,840 --> 01:54:00,519
Speaker 2: mean they're down two scores, down fifteen, but the Lions

2282
01:54:00,560 --> 01:54:04,240
Speaker 2: need a quick turnaround right now? All right, we continue

2283
01:54:04,320 --> 01:54:07,160
Speaker 2: on which games will be the ones that come down

2284

Speaker 2: to the final play. It happens every week. Find out

Speaker 7: Down, New Orleans. Jimmy Graham touch down. Oh he thought

2290
01:54:28,720 --> 01:54:31,720
Speaker 7: he might dunk it, but he didn't. That's w w

Speaker 7: L Saints Radio Network. Jimmy Graham's still in the league.

2292
01:54:35,080 --> 01:54:38,040
Speaker 7: It's unbelievable. The guy's one hundred years old. But he

2293
01:54:38,080 --> 01:54:41,960
Speaker 7: gets the touchdown there. Saints lead the Panthers twenty eight

2294
01:54:42,040 --> 01:54:45,400
Speaker 7: to six. Panthers will go to one and twelve on

2295

Speaker 2: Nine for twenty eight passing ninety three yards. He hasn't

2299
01:54:57,240 --> 01:55:00,400
Speaker 2: thrown an interception. But Saints are gonna pu away. The

2300
01:55:00,440 --> 01:55:02,840
Speaker 2: Panthers have with four and a half minutes ago, leading

2304
01:55:12,120 --> 01:55:16,040
Speaker 2: going on in Atlanta right now. The Falcons have retaken

2305
01:55:16,080 --> 01:55:19,960
Speaker 2: the lead twenty five to twenty two. We are at

2306

2308
01:55:26,960 --> 01:55:29,960
Speaker 2: yard line. We've been talking about Baker Mayfield, but he

2309
01:55:30,080 --> 01:55:32,760
Speaker 2: really hasn't done much. Twelve of twenty four for one

2310
01:55:32,800 --> 01:55:35,440
Speaker 2: hundred and one yards. The guy that's putting up numbers

2311
01:55:35,640 --> 01:55:39,200
Speaker 2: is Desmond Ritter, who's backing at quarterback for the Falcons.

2312
01:55:39,600 --> 01:55:41,840
Speaker 2: Twenty two to thirty four, two hundred and seventy five

2313
01:55:41,960 --> 01:55:45,560
Speaker 2: yards and a touchdown in this game. And now, if

2314
01:55:45,600 --> 01:55:48,800
Speaker 2: the Falcons win this game, they would suddenly have a

2315
01:55:48,880 --> 01:55:51,520
Speaker 2: two game lead over Tampa, still have a game lead

2316
01:55:51,640 --> 01:55:54,920
Speaker 2: over the Saints, but the Falcons definitely would be putting

2317
01:55:55,000 --> 01:55:57,360
Speaker 2: themselves in a position that you want to be in

2318
01:55:57,440 --> 01:56:00,240
Speaker 2: at this point of the season, where you control your

2319
01:56:00,280 --> 01:56:02,960
Speaker 2: own destiny, you have to worry about other teams. You

2320
01:56:03,200 --> 01:56:05,240
Speaker 2: keep winning, you'll be in the postseason.

2321
01:56:05,440 --> 01:56:08,320
Speaker 1: And what's crazy about that story is how.

2322
01:56:09,720 --> 01:56:13,600
Speaker 3: I'm scattered they've been at quarterback, right, Desmond Ritter at

2323
01:56:13,640 --> 01:56:16,440
Speaker 3: one point in the season bench for the Falcons, and

2324
01:56:16,960 --> 01:56:19,400
Speaker 3: we thought his season was over as a starter, and

2325
01:56:19,480 --> 01:56:23,760
Speaker 3: then he's come back in and you know, look, I mean,

2326
01:56:23,920 --> 01:56:27,400
Speaker 3: is he a is he a top tier quarterback or

2327
01:56:27,480 --> 01:56:29,680
Speaker 3: does he show signs of ever being a top ten

2328
01:56:30,120 --> 01:56:33,680
Speaker 3: top tier quarterback? The answer is probably not. But is

2329
01:56:33,800 --> 01:56:36,560
Speaker 3: he keeping the wheels on? Well, he's doing a much

2330
01:56:36,640 --> 01:56:38,920
Speaker 3: better job of it recently than he was to start

2331
01:56:39,000 --> 01:56:43,200
Speaker 3: the season. But what's good for Arthur Smith and may

2332
01:56:43,240 --> 01:56:46,760
Speaker 3: be bad at the same time, is he's got Taylor Heineke.

2333
01:56:47,280 --> 01:56:51,360
Speaker 3: So Desmond Ridder knows that at any point he can

2334
01:56:51,520 --> 01:56:53,960
Speaker 3: be replaced, and he will be replaced. They've shown in

2335
01:56:54,040 --> 01:56:56,840
Speaker 3: the past that they'll bench him based on performance. So

2336
01:56:56,920 --> 01:56:59,360
Speaker 3: when things are going good, well, you can argue, well,

2337
01:56:59,440 --> 01:57:02,080
Speaker 3: it's great to have that competition in the quarterback room.

2338
01:57:02,160 --> 01:57:05,400
Speaker 3: It's really encouraging better play. But when things go bad

2339
01:57:05,480 --> 01:57:08,160
Speaker 3: and you see a quarterback forcing things, then your brain

2340
01:57:08,280 --> 01:57:12,160
Speaker 3: starts to migrate towards well, is he trying to force things?

2341
01:57:12,200 --> 01:57:15,000
Speaker 3: Because he knows if he doesn't do something special and

2342
01:57:15,120 --> 01:57:19,160
Speaker 3: they're losing football games, he knows he's going to be replaced.

2343
01:57:19,520 --> 01:57:22,200
Speaker 3: So there's a subtle balance that you have to be

2344
01:57:22,240 --> 01:57:24,760
Speaker 3: able to strike when you have a situation like that

2345
01:57:24,840 --> 01:57:25,520
Speaker 3: at quarterback.

2346
01:57:25,760 --> 01:57:28,720
Speaker 2: All right, we have three games down the stretch that

2347
01:57:28,920 --> 01:57:32,640
Speaker 2: are not going to change. The Bengals are going to

2348
01:57:32,720 --> 01:57:34,760
Speaker 2: defeat the Colts are up thirty one to fourteen two

2349
01:57:34,840 --> 01:57:37,760
Speaker 2: minute warning. Their huge win for the Bengals. Two hundred

2350
01:57:37,760 --> 01:57:40,640
Speaker 2: and seventy five yards passing for Jake Browning today the

2351
01:57:40,720 --> 01:57:43,160
Speaker 2: bad loss for the Coals. They'll fall to seven and six.

2352
01:57:43,560 --> 01:57:46,960
Speaker 2: Bengals go to seven and six. We mentioned the Saints

2353
01:57:47,280 --> 01:57:50,560
Speaker 2: taking care of business against the Panthers. Saints will go

2354
01:57:50,600 --> 01:57:53,000
Speaker 2: to six and seven, and the Jets are going to

2355
01:57:53,040 --> 01:57:56,440
Speaker 2: beat the Texans, and it wasn't close. Three hundred and

2356
01:57:56,560 --> 01:58:00,480
Speaker 2: one yards passing, two touchdowns for of all people, Zachly Wilson,

2357
01:58:01,200 --> 01:58:03,960
Speaker 2: as they have demolished the Texans in this game, twenty

2358
01:58:04,080 --> 01:58:08,080
Speaker 2: seven to six. Again for C. J. Stroud, a dose

2359
01:58:08,160 --> 01:58:11,440
Speaker 2: of reality perhaps for someone I really have been touting

2360
01:58:11,520 --> 01:58:14,880
Speaker 2: for MVP, and I think he deserved that kind of recognition,

2361
01:58:15,040 --> 01:58:18,440
Speaker 2: but not today. Ten of twenty three, only ninety one

2362
01:58:18,560 --> 01:58:21,120
Speaker 2: yards passing. In fact, he's been yanked out of the game.

2363
01:58:21,840 --> 01:58:25,560
Speaker 2: Davis Mills is in, so they're protecting their quarterback. Sack

2364
01:58:25,720 --> 01:58:29,000
Speaker 2: four times today, thirty eight yards and losses. He got

2365
01:58:29,080 --> 01:58:30,680
Speaker 2: beat up by this Jets defense.

2366
01:58:30,880 --> 01:58:33,760
Speaker 3: Well, and how about Brice Hall. You know this jess offense.

2367
01:58:34,360 --> 01:58:36,800
Speaker 3: You know you talked about Dalvin Cook. Where has he

2368
01:58:36,880 --> 01:58:39,040
Speaker 3: been all season? Well, the thing is when you have

2369
01:58:39,120 --> 01:58:41,560
Speaker 3: a player as capable as Breece Hall in his second

2370
01:58:41,640 --> 01:58:44,400
Speaker 3: year as a pro, ten carriers thirty nine yards, not great,

2371
01:58:44,480 --> 01:58:46,640
Speaker 3: but not bad. But it's what he did in the

2372
01:58:46,680 --> 01:58:50,800
Speaker 3: passing game today, caught eight balls on nine targets, eighty

2373
01:58:50,880 --> 01:58:55,320
Speaker 3: six yards, a touchdown on a long grab. You know,

2374
01:58:55,960 --> 01:59:00,200
Speaker 3: it's what this NFL needs now is for you to

2375
01:59:00,280 --> 01:59:02,839
Speaker 3: be able to do more than just what your position asks.

2376
01:59:03,280 --> 01:59:06,520
Speaker 3: Wide receivers also being able to run the ball, running

2377
01:59:06,600 --> 01:59:09,480
Speaker 3: backs also being able to catch the ball. And for

2378
01:59:09,760 --> 01:59:12,839
Speaker 3: this Jets offense, they need more of that, and Brisau

2379
01:59:13,000 --> 01:59:16,040
Speaker 3: was able to help deliver and Zach Wilson frankly played

2380
01:59:16,080 --> 01:59:17,800
Speaker 3: his best football game as a pro.

2381
01:59:18,400 --> 01:59:22,560
Speaker 2: The most competitive game today, without question, has been the

2382
01:59:22,720 --> 01:59:25,600
Speaker 2: Rams Ravens game. They've been going back and forth with

2383
01:59:25,680 --> 01:59:28,920
Speaker 2: the lead. The Ravens have the lead now twenty three

2384
01:59:29,040 --> 01:59:31,440
Speaker 2: to twenty two. They just punted the ball away eight

2385
01:59:31,480 --> 01:59:34,360
Speaker 2: minutes to go on the fourth quarter. It was fumbled

2386
01:59:34,480 --> 01:59:37,240
Speaker 2: but recovered by the Rams. So the Rams take over

2387
01:59:37,400 --> 01:59:40,520
Speaker 2: first down from their own fifteen yard line, trailing the

2388
01:59:40,600 --> 01:59:43,000
Speaker 2: Ravens by a score of twenty three to twenty two.

2389
01:59:43,480 --> 01:59:45,760
Speaker 2: We know the Ravens are heading to the postseason, but

2390
01:59:45,880 --> 01:59:49,000
Speaker 2: a Rams victory today gets them to seven and six

2391
01:59:49,680 --> 01:59:52,760
Speaker 2: and very much in the conversation for the postseason. So

2392
01:59:53,200 --> 01:59:55,760
Speaker 2: we got some games definitely heading down to the wire.

2393
01:59:56,120 --> 01:59:59,240
Speaker 2: We're gonna have some great finishes for everything. You need

2394

2401
02:00:21,160 --> 02:00:23,720
Speaker 2: Tyre rack dot com the way tire bind should be.

2402
02:00:24,280 --> 02:00:29,560
Speaker 2: Baker Mayfield leads the Buccaneers on a twelve play, seventy

2403
02:00:29,640 --> 02:00:33,840
Speaker 2: five yard drive to retake the lead against the Falcons

2404
02:00:33,960 --> 02:00:36,920
Speaker 2: twenty nine to twenty five. We just got twenty five

2405
02:00:37,080 --> 02:00:40,320
Speaker 2: seconds to go in the fourth quarter of this game.

2406
02:00:40,400 --> 02:00:44,600
Speaker 2: But you talk about a season saver for the Tampa

2407
02:00:44,640 --> 02:00:47,480
Speaker 2: Bay Buccaneers if they come out on top. We saw

2408
02:00:47,520 --> 02:00:50,600
Speaker 2: it right there. Baker Mayfield hadn't done a whole lot,

2409
02:00:51,360 --> 02:00:55,200
Speaker 2: but at twelve play seventy five yard drive to give

2410
02:00:55,240 --> 02:00:59,160
Speaker 2: the Buccaneers a four point lead inside thirty seconds to play. Again,

2411
02:00:59,280 --> 02:01:03,160
Speaker 2: a Bucks victory here will create a three way tie

2412
02:01:03,200 --> 02:01:07,720
Speaker 2: atop the NFC South with the Buccaneers, Falcons and Saints.

2413
02:01:08,120 --> 02:01:09,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, this would be huge.

2414
02:01:09,480 --> 02:01:13,320
Speaker 3: And also, again, huture Baker Mayfield, who you know, played

2415
02:01:13,400 --> 02:01:16,120
Speaker 3: a relatively good game. I mean, if you look at

2416
02:01:16,160 --> 02:01:19,360
Speaker 3: the stats, they're not amazing, they're not gonna they're not

2417
02:01:19,520 --> 02:01:22,240
Speaker 3: eye popping from a quarterback standpoint, but doing enough to

2418
02:01:22,320 --> 02:01:26,720
Speaker 3: win absolutely. And then you look at Desmond Ritter and

2419
02:01:26,880 --> 02:01:30,040
Speaker 3: this Falcons team, I mean, a lot of faith can

2420
02:01:30,120 --> 02:01:32,640
Speaker 3: be created here if he can lead a game winning

2421
02:01:32,800 --> 02:01:35,040
Speaker 3: drive with twenty seconds left to play.

2422
02:01:35,760 --> 02:01:39,240
Speaker 2: All right, the Browns and the Jaguars. The Jaguars have

2423
02:01:39,640 --> 02:01:42,880
Speaker 2: just scored to cut the Browns lead to twenty eight

2424
02:01:42,920 --> 02:01:46,480
Speaker 2: to twenty one. This game, again, it's been all Browns,

2425
02:01:46,520 --> 02:01:50,080
Speaker 2: and the Browns have dominated this game. In fact, the

2426
02:01:50,200 --> 02:01:53,720
Speaker 2: last time the Jags had the ball, Trevor Lawrence to

2427
02:01:53,840 --> 02:01:56,560
Speaker 2: an interception, but they got the ball back. This time

2428
02:01:56,640 --> 02:01:58,840
Speaker 2: they get into the end zone. So this game far

2429
02:01:58,960 --> 02:02:01,800
Speaker 2: from over. Still eight fifty to go in the fourth quarter.

2430
02:02:02,000 --> 02:02:04,960
Speaker 2: Brown still lead by score of twenty eight to twenty one.

2431
02:02:05,080 --> 02:02:09,720
Speaker 2: And how about these Rams and the Rams? Do they

2432
02:02:09,760 --> 02:02:13,120
Speaker 2: get the ball back? Let me check on what edge

2433
02:02:13,200 --> 02:02:15,680
Speaker 2: just happened here? So the Rams just scored to take

2434
02:02:15,760 --> 02:02:21,080
Speaker 2: the lead and the Ravens the.

2435
02:02:21,160 --> 02:02:21,920
Speaker 12: Rams went for two.

2436
02:02:22,640 --> 02:02:24,520
Speaker 2: Okay, so that's where it is, all right. So the

2437
02:02:24,640 --> 02:02:27,600
Speaker 2: Ravens now have the ball, Rams went for two, did

2438
02:02:27,680 --> 02:02:30,360
Speaker 2: not get it. Rams lead the Ravens by a score

2439
02:02:30,400 --> 02:02:32,680
Speaker 2: of twenty eight to twenty three. So here you go,

2440
02:02:32,880 --> 02:02:35,880
Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson for forty one to go on the fourth quarter,

2441
02:02:36,520 --> 02:02:39,600
Speaker 2: and you're losing at home to a team that you

2442
02:02:39,720 --> 02:02:42,840
Speaker 2: were or seven and a half point favorites at home again,

2443
02:02:42,920 --> 02:02:45,120
Speaker 2: a team that I keep touting every once in a

2444
02:02:45,160 --> 02:02:47,680
Speaker 2: while is the team to beat in the AFC. This

2445
02:02:47,760 --> 02:02:50,120
Speaker 2: would be a really bad loss of the Ravens at

2446
02:02:50,120 --> 02:02:51,280
Speaker 2: home to the Rams.

2447
02:02:51,000 --> 02:02:53,200
Speaker 1: Out and they barely showed up for this half.

2448
02:02:53,320 --> 02:02:58,000
Speaker 3: I mean it's field goal, field goal safety kicking the

2449
02:02:58,080 --> 02:03:01,000
Speaker 3: ball out of your own end zone I goal punt.

2450
02:03:01,520 --> 02:03:05,520
Speaker 3: That's how their possessions have gone here. So Lamar Jackson

2451
02:03:05,640 --> 02:03:10,000
Speaker 3: needs to summon whatever it is inside of this Ravens

2452
02:03:10,080 --> 02:03:14,720
Speaker 3: offense to play hero here because they need a touchdown

2453
02:03:15,160 --> 02:03:17,360
Speaker 3: to take the lead here with the Rams leading by

2454
02:03:17,480 --> 02:03:20,920
Speaker 3: five with just under five minutes remaining in the ballgame.

2455
02:03:20,760 --> 02:03:24,440
Speaker 2: The other game that is over. Really, Bears have the

2456
02:03:24,520 --> 02:03:26,880
Speaker 2: ball and a twenty eight to thirteen League two minute

2457
02:03:26,960 --> 02:03:30,480
Speaker 2: warning in Chicago, So the Lions are going to lose

2458
02:03:30,600 --> 02:03:33,480
Speaker 2: this game on the road to the Bears by the way.

2459
02:03:33,560 --> 02:03:36,240
Speaker 2: That makes the Bears at five and eight. Now, remember,

2460
02:03:36,280 --> 02:03:41,160
Speaker 2: as far as the draft is concern, the Bears also

2461
02:03:41,520 --> 02:03:47,080
Speaker 2: have Carolina's pick right So the Bears right now are

2462
02:03:47,160 --> 02:03:49,880
Speaker 2: sitting pretty in the sense of having the number one

2463
02:03:50,000 --> 02:03:53,160
Speaker 2: overall pick. Because the way the Panthers are playing these days,

2464
02:03:53,320 --> 02:03:55,400
Speaker 2: it will be a miracle if they win a game.

2465
02:03:55,640 --> 02:03:57,800
Speaker 2: The rest Oh I agree, I mean that it would

2466
02:03:57,880 --> 02:04:01,840
Speaker 2: have to be some complete discombobulation of a team to

2467
02:04:02,080 --> 02:04:03,320
Speaker 2: lose to the Panthers.

2468
02:04:03,520 --> 02:04:07,600
Speaker 3: They look completely inept. And so what happens Okay, and

2469
02:04:07,680 --> 02:04:10,240
Speaker 3: this is a big what if, But what happens if

2470
02:04:12,000 --> 02:04:15,400
Speaker 3: Justin Fields becomes competent, and all of a sudden you

2471
02:04:15,480 --> 02:04:18,800
Speaker 3: feel differently, and I mean everybody feels differently about Justin

2472
02:04:18,800 --> 02:04:21,000
Speaker 3: Fields where you say, okay, yoh, he's built some trust

2473
02:04:21,120 --> 02:04:23,560
Speaker 3: up this season, and then you have two bites at

2474
02:04:23,640 --> 02:04:25,000
Speaker 3: the apple in the first round.

2475
02:04:25,120 --> 02:04:26,960
Speaker 1: You're going to be able to surround him. Potentially with

2476
02:04:27,080 --> 02:04:28,600
Speaker 1: more talent.

2477
02:04:28,760 --> 02:04:31,280
Speaker 3: On offense, you may be able to add a piece

2478
02:04:31,320 --> 02:04:33,560
Speaker 3: on defense that could be a game changer for you.

2479
02:04:34,640 --> 02:04:37,680
Speaker 2: This well, I mean, but we said this about Caleb Williams.

2480
02:04:37,760 --> 02:04:40,080
Speaker 2: Now by the way, Caleb Williams didn't even finish top

2481
02:04:40,200 --> 02:04:43,400
Speaker 2: ten Heisman voting the year after winning the Heisman. Now,

2482
02:04:43,520 --> 02:04:47,440
Speaker 2: obviously he wasn't playing defense. His USC had literally historically

2483
02:04:47,520 --> 02:04:50,839
Speaker 2: one of the worst defenses I've ever seen to account

2484
02:04:50,880 --> 02:04:53,560
Speaker 2: for their disappointing seven to five season. But we were

2485
02:04:53,640 --> 02:04:57,000
Speaker 2: speculating early in the year, Rich that if you're the

2486
02:04:57,120 --> 02:04:59,760
Speaker 2: number one pick, I mean, you start the bidding at

2487
02:05:00,000 --> 02:05:03,720
Speaker 2: three number ones, right, you start at three number ones

2488
02:05:04,240 --> 02:05:06,680
Speaker 2: if you want the first overall pick in this year's draft.

2489
02:05:06,760 --> 02:05:09,320
Speaker 2: Three number ones. I mean, if you're the Bears right

2490
02:05:09,400 --> 02:05:12,240
Speaker 2: now and feels continues to improve the rest of the way,

2491
02:05:13,360 --> 02:05:16,760
Speaker 2: think about the haul you could get in terms of

2492
02:05:16,840 --> 02:05:19,600
Speaker 2: the draft. You have your own first round pick, and

2493
02:05:19,760 --> 02:05:22,400
Speaker 2: if you could add a couple other high picks in

2494
02:05:22,480 --> 02:05:26,320
Speaker 2: the first round by giving up the number one overall pick, man,

2495
02:05:26,400 --> 02:05:29,440
Speaker 2: the Bears could suddenly turn things around quick if you

2496
02:05:29,480 --> 02:05:30,240
Speaker 2: pick the right guys.

2497
02:05:30,280 --> 02:05:34,040
Speaker 3: Of course, yeah, yeah, well the Bears, I mean they're

2498
02:05:34,160 --> 02:05:36,600
Speaker 3: like a couple of teams around the NFL right now,

2499
02:05:36,680 --> 02:05:38,960
Speaker 3: where well, actually, it's a unique situation. I don't want

2500
02:05:39,000 --> 02:05:40,520
Speaker 3: to say it's a couple of teams around the NFL

2501
02:05:40,600 --> 02:05:43,080
Speaker 3: because who has two first rounders to play with.

2502
02:05:43,280 --> 02:05:44,600
Speaker 1: It's rare that that happens.

2503
02:05:44,760 --> 02:05:49,200
Speaker 3: Right, They made the right choice trading with Carolina because

2504
02:05:49,400 --> 02:05:53,240
Speaker 3: Carolina ended up gifting them the first overall draft pick,

2505
02:05:53,800 --> 02:05:57,160
Speaker 3: and that puts the Panthers really behind the eight ball.

2506
02:05:57,240 --> 02:06:00,920
Speaker 3: But focusing on what the Bears have an opportunity to

2507
02:06:01,440 --> 02:06:05,040
Speaker 3: change the fortunes of their franchise. But it all has

2508
02:06:05,120 --> 02:06:08,080
Speaker 3: to start with justin Fields, how he finishes this season,

2509
02:06:08,200 --> 02:06:11,000
Speaker 3: how much faith he can produce. This has been a

2510
02:06:11,160 --> 02:06:14,040
Speaker 3: train wreck in terms of how the franchise has been ran.

2511
02:06:14,520 --> 02:06:20,160
Speaker 3: That a defensive coordinator who retired, quit fired, whatever happened

2512
02:06:20,200 --> 02:06:22,480
Speaker 3: in the middle of the season, and there were weird

2513
02:06:22,560 --> 02:06:26,120
Speaker 3: reports around that situation stepping down, and then you know,

2514
02:06:26,320 --> 02:06:30,160
Speaker 3: obviously Matt Everflus doesn't seem like the long term fit

2515
02:06:30,400 --> 02:06:33,720
Speaker 3: at head coach. Unless I'm missing something, they may even

2516
02:06:33,760 --> 02:06:35,240
Speaker 3: make a change at general manager.

2517
02:06:35,400 --> 02:06:36,360
Speaker 1: So a lot of.

2518
02:06:36,400 --> 02:06:40,160
Speaker 3: Flux this offseason. I'm very curious what ends up happening

2519
02:06:40,200 --> 02:06:41,480
Speaker 3: as a result of that flux.

2520
02:06:41,520 --> 02:06:43,760
Speaker 2: A couple of finals. Now, the Bears have defeated the

2521
02:06:43,840 --> 02:06:46,600
Speaker 2: Lions twenty eight to thirteen. It was a tough day

2522
02:06:46,840 --> 02:06:50,880
Speaker 2: indeed for the Bears today. They played awful and they

2523
02:06:51,000 --> 02:06:54,880
Speaker 2: take the loss in Chicago. Meanwhile, it is also over

2524
02:06:55,000 --> 02:06:59,640
Speaker 2: the Buccaneers. Unbelievable comeback late drive again pulls this game

2525
02:06:59,720 --> 02:07:02,600
Speaker 2: out on the road against the Falcons. So again the Bucks,

2526
02:07:02,680 --> 02:07:05,560
Speaker 2: the Falcons, and the Saints tied at six and seven.

2527
02:07:06,120 --> 02:07:09,760
Speaker 2: A top if you can call that the NFC South.

2528
02:07:09,880 --> 02:07:12,320
Speaker 2: All right, we got two games going on right now.

2529
02:07:12,800 --> 02:07:15,080
Speaker 2: The Browns have the ball and the lead twenty eight

2530
02:07:15,120 --> 02:07:17,920
Speaker 2: to twenty one over the Jaguars seven minutes to go.

2531
02:07:18,160 --> 02:07:21,760
Speaker 2: But it's the Ravens right now on the move inside

2532
02:07:21,840 --> 02:07:24,720
Speaker 2: three minutes to go in the fourth quarter, trailing the

2533
02:07:24,840 --> 02:07:28,040
Speaker 2: Rams twenty eight to twenty three. They have a second

2534
02:07:28,120 --> 02:07:31,720
Speaker 2: and ten at the Rams twenty five yard line. So

2535
02:07:31,800 --> 02:07:36,520
Speaker 2: they're moving right now. The weather's wet. This Rams defense

2536
02:07:36,520 --> 02:07:40,160
Speaker 2: has played well, especially in the second half. But right now,

2537
02:07:40,360 --> 02:07:44,120
Speaker 2: this is where Lamar Jackson, you know, if you want

2538
02:07:44,160 --> 02:07:46,200
Speaker 2: to be in the MVP conversation, you got to pull

2539
02:07:46,280 --> 02:07:48,800
Speaker 2: this out. A quick pass to the sideline. They're now

2540
02:07:48,880 --> 02:07:51,520
Speaker 2: inside the twenty yard line of the Rams.

2541
02:07:51,760 --> 02:07:56,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, this would be a huge moment for this Ravens team,

2542
02:07:57,360 --> 02:08:00,720
Speaker 3: especially going back to the conversation where I have earlier

2543
02:08:01,480 --> 02:08:04,920
Speaker 3: about how in this offense has look this this half

2544
02:08:05,080 --> 02:08:07,720
Speaker 3: of football. I mean, they've finished so many drives with

2545
02:08:07,800 --> 02:08:10,720
Speaker 3: field goals. We mentioned to start the second half, how

2546
02:08:10,840 --> 02:08:12,960
Speaker 3: tough of a time they've had converting.

2547
02:08:12,600 --> 02:08:13,280
Speaker 1: On third down.

2548
02:08:14,160 --> 02:08:17,400
Speaker 3: Outside of this drive, they hadn't converted a third down

2549
02:08:17,440 --> 02:08:20,520
Speaker 3: in the second half. They were two for nine on

2550
02:08:20,760 --> 02:08:21,280
Speaker 3: third down.

2551
02:08:21,600 --> 02:08:24,120
Speaker 2: Now it's third down right now in five of the

2552
02:08:24,240 --> 02:08:27,160
Speaker 2: twenty yard line. Let's see what happens. They pass right

2553
02:08:27,320 --> 02:08:29,360
Speaker 2: at the first down marker. It's going to be a

2554
02:08:29,400 --> 02:08:33,240
Speaker 2: first down for the Ravens as they get the ball

2555
02:08:33,320 --> 02:08:35,080
Speaker 2: to the fourteen yard line of the Rams.

2556
02:08:35,240 --> 02:08:38,040
Speaker 3: Now, if I'm not mistaken, that is their first third

2557
02:08:38,120 --> 02:08:40,760
Speaker 3: down conversion of the second half. They're now three of

2558
02:08:40,920 --> 02:08:44,080
Speaker 3: ten for the game, so a timely conversion for the Ravens.

2559
02:08:44,120 --> 02:08:47,000
Speaker 2: All right, Lamar jackson this game. Two hundred ninety five

2560
02:08:47,080 --> 02:08:50,160
Speaker 2: yards passing and a couple of touchdowns. He has seventy

2561
02:08:50,200 --> 02:08:52,320
Speaker 2: one yards on the ground, so that's three hundred and

2562
02:08:52,360 --> 02:08:54,920
Speaker 2: sixty one yards a total offense. He's putting up numbers.

2563
02:08:55,360 --> 02:08:58,200
Speaker 2: But they need this score. They're down five in this game.

2564
02:08:58,320 --> 02:09:01,000
Speaker 2: We're at two forty four to go. Oh actually, we're

2565
02:09:01,040 --> 02:09:04,520
Speaker 2: now running it down to the two minute warning. The

2566
02:09:04,640 --> 02:09:07,480
Speaker 2: Ravens team content to let the clock run down, and

2567
02:09:07,520 --> 02:09:11,680
Speaker 2: they're doing just that. So two minute warning. It's a

2568
02:09:11,880 --> 02:09:15,600
Speaker 2: first down at the Rams fourteen yard line. All right,

2569
02:09:15,680 --> 02:09:17,760
Speaker 2: so let's we'll check up on the other side. We

2570
02:09:17,800 --> 02:09:19,280
Speaker 2: want to keep it here? Should we keep it here?

2571
02:09:19,480 --> 02:09:20,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's do it all right.

2572
02:09:20,400 --> 02:09:22,280
Speaker 2: Let's keep it here. Let's keep it. Let's not go anywhere.

2573
02:09:22,920 --> 02:09:26,800
Speaker 2: Cleveland again leading Jacksonville by a score of twenty eight

2574
02:09:26,880 --> 02:09:29,800
Speaker 2: to twenty one. By the way, a couple games just underway,

2575
02:09:29,880 --> 02:09:31,840
Speaker 2: and it didn't take long for the forty nine ers

2576
02:09:31,880 --> 02:09:32,600
Speaker 2: to get on the board.

2577
02:09:32,800 --> 02:09:33,520
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh.

2578
02:09:33,600 --> 02:09:37,080
Speaker 3: Yeah against the Seahawks seven to nothing. Lead right now

2579
02:09:37,240 --> 02:09:39,240
Speaker 3: for the San Francisco Christian Niners.

2580
02:09:39,360 --> 02:09:41,320
Speaker 2: Christian McCaffrey's first carry of the.

2581
02:09:41,320 --> 02:09:43,560
Speaker 1: Game seventy two yards for the touchdown.

2582
02:09:43,720 --> 02:09:46,640
Speaker 2: Actually it wasn't for the touchdown. Oh, it would set

2583
02:09:46,760 --> 02:09:49,920
Speaker 2: up the touchdown. Jordan Mason had a three yard run

2584
02:09:50,040 --> 02:09:53,280
Speaker 2: for a touchdown. So McCaffrey like, I don't.

2585
02:09:53,120 --> 02:09:53,560
Speaker 1: Have to score.

2586
02:09:53,640 --> 02:09:55,960
Speaker 2: I'll just go down here, so he goes.

2587
02:09:56,920 --> 02:09:57,080
Speaker 1: Yeah.

2588
02:09:57,120 --> 02:10:00,160
Speaker 2: They ran two plays. The first play was a have

2589
02:10:00,200 --> 02:10:06,200
Speaker 2: any two yard run by Christian McCaffrey, and then the

2590
02:10:06,360 --> 02:10:08,720
Speaker 2: next run was a three yard touchdown run by Mason.

2591
02:10:08,800 --> 02:10:11,120
Speaker 1: That guy makes it look so easy, and it's so

2592
02:10:11,480 --> 02:10:13,600
Speaker 1: not easy. Holy smokes.

2593
02:10:13,880 --> 02:10:16,320
Speaker 2: Let me ask you this. I mean, McCaffrey leads the

2594
02:10:16,400 --> 02:10:20,360
Speaker 2: league in rushing obviously all purpose yards. When you talk

2595
02:10:20,400 --> 02:10:23,000
Speaker 2: about offensive player of the year, we know that Tyreek

2596
02:10:23,080 --> 02:10:26,040
Speaker 2: Hill is on pace to set an all time receiving

2597
02:10:26,120 --> 02:10:29,680
Speaker 2: yards record. Who would your choice be for Offensive Player

2598
02:10:29,680 --> 02:10:31,360
Speaker 2: of the year, McCaffrey or Hill?

2599
02:10:32,400 --> 02:10:38,320
Speaker 1: Jeez, you know, boy, that is it's a tighter race

2600
02:10:38,440 --> 02:10:39,720
Speaker 1: than then you think.

2601
02:10:39,880 --> 02:10:40,680
Speaker 2: It's very tight.

2602
02:10:41,280 --> 02:10:42,320
Speaker 1: The easy reaches.

2603
02:10:42,400 --> 02:10:45,040
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm not even throwing in McCaffrey's touchdowns, by

2604
02:10:45,080 --> 02:10:45,600
Speaker 2: the way, No.

2605
02:10:45,720 --> 02:10:48,360
Speaker 3: I know it's an easier reach to say Tyreek kill

2606
02:10:48,400 --> 02:10:51,040
Speaker 3: because if he does end up eclipsing two thousand yards

2607
02:10:51,080 --> 02:10:53,920
Speaker 3: in sight, Yeah, I mean, it's like you have to

2608
02:10:54,000 --> 02:10:57,440
Speaker 3: give him Offensive Player of the Year. But without McCaffrey,

2609
02:10:57,920 --> 02:11:00,480
Speaker 3: this forty nine Ers team is not sitting at the

2610
02:11:00,520 --> 02:11:01,160
Speaker 3: top of the NFC.

2611
02:11:01,280 --> 02:11:03,680
Speaker 1: I can promise you that. I can promise you that.

2612
02:11:04,480 --> 02:11:07,560
Speaker 2: All right, the Ravens still in the time out right

2613
02:11:07,640 --> 02:11:10,400
Speaker 2: now again first and ten for the Ravens there at

2614
02:11:10,440 --> 02:11:13,360
Speaker 2: the Rams fourteen yard line, trailing twenty eight to twenty

2615
02:11:13,480 --> 02:11:19,600
Speaker 2: three the Browns and the Jags. The Jags just it

2616
02:11:19,720 --> 02:11:22,920
Speaker 2: was that a blatant off side? The hell was that?

2617
02:11:24,000 --> 02:11:27,960
Speaker 2: That was a fourth down play for the Browns. So

2618
02:11:28,080 --> 02:11:30,440
Speaker 2: we're looking for a ruling here, Jags trying to get back.

2619
02:11:30,480 --> 02:11:32,440
Speaker 2: There's still six minutes to go in this game. We're

2620
02:11:32,480 --> 02:11:33,560
Speaker 2: not down to the final.

2621
02:11:33,440 --> 02:11:34,560
Speaker 1: N That was encroachment.

2622
02:11:34,960 --> 02:11:38,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was defensive offsides five yards penalty and forced

2623
02:11:40,000 --> 02:11:40,800
Speaker 3: yep on.

2624
02:11:40,920 --> 02:11:41,760
Speaker 1: Fourth and six.

2625
02:11:41,960 --> 02:11:45,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, So here we go. So it's now fourth and

2626
02:11:45,800 --> 02:11:49,280
Speaker 2: one for the Browns as they have now crossed into

2627
02:11:49,360 --> 02:11:52,880
Speaker 2: Jags territory. The handoff gets the first down, so the

2628
02:11:52,960 --> 02:11:56,440
Speaker 2: Browns will retain the ball and run some clock right now.

2629
02:11:57,120 --> 02:12:00,400
Speaker 2: Brown's come into this game at seven and five, come

2630
02:12:00,440 --> 02:12:02,000
Speaker 2: in at eight and four. By the way, the Jags

2631
02:12:02,080 --> 02:12:05,200
Speaker 2: had not lost a road game all season long. All right,

2632
02:12:05,280 --> 02:12:07,880
Speaker 2: Ravens have the ball right now, first down at the

2633
02:12:08,000 --> 02:12:11,280
Speaker 2: fourteen yard line of the Rams, trailing twenty eight to

2634
02:12:11,400 --> 02:12:14,480
Speaker 2: twenty three. They're gonna run the play on first down

2635
02:12:14,560 --> 02:12:18,280
Speaker 2: and get caught for a loss. Wow, And that's gonna

2636
02:12:18,320 --> 02:12:18,960
Speaker 2: run clock.

2637
02:12:19,880 --> 02:12:22,160
Speaker 3: Jeez, And you know, going back to that Browns play

2638
02:12:22,280 --> 02:12:24,960
Speaker 3: for a second. They lead twenty eight to twenty one

2639
02:12:25,120 --> 02:12:28,120
Speaker 3: with the ball six minutes left in the game, Jacksonville

2640
02:12:28,600 --> 02:12:32,040
Speaker 3: jumps off side on pun formation for the Browns at

2641
02:12:32,360 --> 02:12:35,200
Speaker 3: the Cleveland forty seven. So the Browns are about to

2642
02:12:35,280 --> 02:12:38,480
Speaker 3: punt it away to Jacksonville, giving them an opportunity for

2643
02:12:38,760 --> 02:12:41,320
Speaker 3: possession and plus maybe another one if they needed it

2644
02:12:41,800 --> 02:12:45,200
Speaker 3: in this ballgame, and instead, with the fourth and one conversion,

2645
02:12:45,280 --> 02:12:48,440
Speaker 3: Cleveland gets to retain possession and keep milking more of

2646
02:12:48,480 --> 02:12:52,160
Speaker 3: the clock down with the seven point lead in that ballgame.

2647
02:12:51,920 --> 02:12:54,560
Speaker 2: All right, the Ravens now have a second and eleven

2648
02:12:54,680 --> 02:12:58,200
Speaker 2: after that. Again, I don't understand any time a team

2649
02:12:58,320 --> 02:13:01,240
Speaker 2: runs wide at the point of the field, it always

2650
02:13:01,280 --> 02:13:03,400
Speaker 2: seems to end up in a loss. All right, Lamar

2651
02:13:03,480 --> 02:13:05,840
Speaker 2: Jackson is going to pass on second down and he

2652
02:13:06,120 --> 02:13:09,200
Speaker 2: is in trouble. He goes down. I guess they're gonna say,

2653
02:13:09,400 --> 02:13:11,440
Speaker 2: was that a pass? Was that a sack?

2654
02:13:12,720 --> 02:13:13,920
Speaker 1: Did he get the ball away?

2655
02:13:14,400 --> 02:13:16,680
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know if his knee was down.

2656
02:13:16,720 --> 02:13:19,080
Speaker 2: He was definitely getting sacked. The question is did he

2657
02:13:19,160 --> 02:13:22,520
Speaker 2: get the pass off before. It's not gonna make a

2658
02:13:22,560 --> 02:13:24,800
Speaker 2: lot of difference. It's gonna be third down anyway, his

2659
02:13:24,960 --> 02:13:28,360
Speaker 2: knees are not down. I think that's going to be

2660
02:13:28,360 --> 02:13:32,360
Speaker 2: an incomplete pass. It's third and eleven now for the Ravens.

2661
02:13:32,440 --> 02:13:35,040
Speaker 2: So everything was going well until they got inside the

2662
02:13:35,080 --> 02:13:37,440
Speaker 2: red zone here and all of a sudden third and eleven,

2663
02:13:38,360 --> 02:13:41,240
Speaker 2: down by five here, minute fifty two to go in

2664
02:13:41,560 --> 02:13:42,560
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter.

2665
02:13:42,840 --> 02:13:46,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, looking for Rashad Bateman there. And you know, Lamar Jackson.

2666
02:13:47,000 --> 02:13:50,320
Speaker 3: You look at the game he's had. It hasn't been

2667
02:13:50,360 --> 02:13:52,440
Speaker 3: a terrible game. They've had a lean on him a

2668
02:13:52,520 --> 02:13:55,440
Speaker 3: lot in terms of passing because they've been chasing points

2669
02:13:55,960 --> 02:13:58,360
Speaker 3: because of what the Rams have been able to accomplish today.

2670
02:13:58,880 --> 02:14:03,760
Speaker 3: But this is a hugely important drive for this Ravens

2671
02:14:03,800 --> 02:14:06,880
Speaker 3: football team because You're going to need some of these

2672
02:14:06,960 --> 02:14:11,080
Speaker 3: moments in the postseasonto advance, and that is, oftentimes, along

2673
02:14:11,120 --> 02:14:13,560
Speaker 3: with the injuries, have been one of the achilles heels

2674
02:14:13,600 --> 02:14:15,680
Speaker 3: of this Ravens offense when it's crunch time.

2675
02:14:15,760 --> 02:14:16,879
Speaker 1: Can they perform?

2676
02:14:17,400 --> 02:14:19,440
Speaker 2: Now, the big difference here on this sack is in

2677
02:14:19,560 --> 02:14:22,800
Speaker 2: the yardage. It's the clock, right. If he was sacked,

2678
02:14:22,840 --> 02:14:24,920
Speaker 2: then the clock runs and you force the Ravens they

2679
02:14:24,960 --> 02:14:26,520
Speaker 2: have to use a time out if they want to

2680
02:14:27,040 --> 02:14:29,760
Speaker 2: to stop the clock. But they have ruled it an

2681
02:14:29,880 --> 02:14:33,920
Speaker 2: incomplete pass. It is third and eleven with a minute

2682
02:14:34,000 --> 02:14:37,960
Speaker 2: twenty eight to go in the fourth quarter. This Rams

2683
02:14:38,000 --> 02:14:40,760
Speaker 2: team's playing hard, man, I mean, they're really playing hard

2684
02:14:40,840 --> 02:14:43,120
Speaker 2: in this game. This is a good Ravens team.

2685
02:14:43,480 --> 02:14:45,400
Speaker 3: This is a really good Ravens team. And we haven't

2686
02:14:45,400 --> 02:14:49,120
Speaker 3: talked much about their defense. But another top ten defense

2687
02:14:49,760 --> 02:14:54,160
Speaker 3: in the Baltimore Ravens. And so what if the Rams

2688
02:14:54,320 --> 02:14:56,040
Speaker 3: escape Baltimore with this victory?

2689
02:14:56,200 --> 02:14:59,400
Speaker 2: Oh huge? I mean think of the flight home, oh man,

2690
02:14:59,440 --> 02:15:01,680
Speaker 2: I mean, when you a big underdog on the road

2691
02:15:01,720 --> 02:15:07,960
Speaker 2: against a premier team and you have a cross country flight, especially.

2692
02:15:07,640 --> 02:15:09,920
Speaker 1: When you're a West Coast team, West.

2693
02:15:09,640 --> 02:15:11,840
Speaker 2: Coast, everyone says, ah, that's the camera.

2694
02:15:12,000 --> 02:15:13,040
Speaker 1: No, it matters.

2695
02:15:13,160 --> 02:15:15,280
Speaker 3: It matters because you go out there, you win an

2696
02:15:15,360 --> 02:15:18,680
Speaker 3: early slate game like this on the road, and then

2697
02:15:18,920 --> 02:15:21,560
Speaker 3: it almost feels like you go but you time travel. Yeah,

2698
02:15:21,560 --> 02:15:24,240
Speaker 3: because you land back and it feels like you still

2699
02:15:24,320 --> 02:15:27,640
Speaker 3: have the day Sunday to start your recovery process, and

2700
02:15:27,760 --> 02:15:30,280
Speaker 3: it's almost like you gain time on the other side

2701
02:15:30,360 --> 02:15:32,600
Speaker 3: of these East Coast trips where you leave with a victory.

2702
02:15:32,880 --> 02:15:35,480
Speaker 1: It's a cute. This is a coup if the Rams

2703
02:15:35,560 --> 02:15:36,160
Speaker 1: pull this off.

2704
02:15:36,320 --> 02:15:37,920
Speaker 2: Are they reviewing this play right now?

2705
02:15:38,040 --> 02:15:38,200
Speaker 4: Ball?

2706
02:15:38,280 --> 02:15:41,280
Speaker 2: What's going on here? Why are they delaying in this game?

2707
02:15:41,800 --> 02:15:44,600
Speaker 2: It's still sitting there third and eleven. I don't see

2708
02:15:44,600 --> 02:15:45,520
Speaker 2: a review, I guess.

2709
02:15:46,080 --> 02:15:49,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, it looks like McVeigh is talking to the official.

2710
02:15:49,240 --> 02:15:52,200
Speaker 2: They didn't. They're not posting play under review.

2711
02:15:53,320 --> 02:15:55,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just a it's just a waiting game now

2712
02:15:55,680 --> 02:15:59,400
Speaker 3: to see when play resumes. I'm assuming they're seeing whether

2713
02:15:59,560 --> 02:16:02,360
Speaker 3: or not, because so this is a few minutes.

2714
02:16:02,520 --> 02:16:05,360
Speaker 2: But normally, even if it's because it's inside two minutes,

2715
02:16:05,400 --> 02:16:07,520
Speaker 2: that play is reviewed by the officials. But they would

2716
02:16:07,520 --> 02:16:10,680
Speaker 2: normally post play under review. Obviously it has to be

2717
02:16:10,800 --> 02:16:13,640
Speaker 2: because we've had an extended delay. Again a minute twenty

2718
02:16:13,680 --> 02:16:19,960
Speaker 2: to eight to go there. Meanwhile, the Browns they're calling

2719
02:16:20,080 --> 02:16:24,640
Speaker 2: an incomplete pass right now, So the Browns is still

2720
02:16:24,640 --> 02:16:26,240
Speaker 2: four minutes to go in the game, all right, it

2721
02:16:26,360 --> 02:16:26,640
Speaker 2: is now.

2722
02:16:27,080 --> 02:16:29,800
Speaker 12: I think they determined that Lamar was down. His knee

2723
02:16:29,840 --> 02:16:30,600
Speaker 12: was down, so that was a sack.

2724
02:16:30,640 --> 02:16:31,280
Speaker 1: It's okay.

2725
02:16:31,400 --> 02:16:33,600
Speaker 2: So they do have a sack. So it's third and

2726
02:16:33,840 --> 02:16:37,920
Speaker 2: seventeen now for the Ravens and Lamar Jackson throws to

2727
02:16:38,040 --> 02:16:42,760
Speaker 2: the end zone and it is a touchdown. Watchdown Ravens

2728
02:16:42,959 --> 02:16:46,560
Speaker 2: on third and seventeen to Zay Flowers.

2729
02:16:46,800 --> 02:16:51,360
Speaker 1: Oh wow, real, unreal, unreal. So they take lemons and

2730
02:16:51,440 --> 02:16:52,439
Speaker 1: they make lemonade.

2731
02:16:52,560 --> 02:16:55,720
Speaker 3: After Lamar Jackson is ruled to be sacked on the

2732
02:16:55,840 --> 02:17:00,600
Speaker 3: second eleven playway Flowers get so open on this play.

2733
02:17:01,160 --> 02:17:04,520
Speaker 3: That was unbelievable. What a job well, I mean he

2734
02:17:04,680 --> 02:17:07,240
Speaker 3: was he was single covered. That was That was a

2735
02:17:07,360 --> 02:17:09,440
Speaker 3: tight window throw by Lamar Jackson.

2736
02:17:09,440 --> 02:17:09,760
Speaker 1: I don't know.

2737
02:17:09,879 --> 02:17:12,600
Speaker 2: Oh his knee was down. Hold on his second here?

2738
02:17:12,760 --> 02:17:14,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, was he tackled at the one? That's question. He

2739
02:17:15,040 --> 02:17:16,720
Speaker 1: was that was man coverage.

2740
02:17:16,720 --> 02:17:19,080
Speaker 2: They're saying it was a touchdown and they're going on

2741
02:17:19,200 --> 02:17:22,640
Speaker 2: the field for a two point conversion. Didn't that replay

2742
02:17:22,680 --> 02:17:24,040
Speaker 2: show his knee was down.

2743
02:17:24,840 --> 02:17:27,400
Speaker 1: Whose Yeah, let's see.

2744
02:17:27,480 --> 02:17:29,600
Speaker 2: Let's well, I guess the thing was he was in touch,

2745
02:17:29,680 --> 02:17:31,520
Speaker 2: that's why he got into the end zone. All right.

2746
02:17:31,560 --> 02:17:34,199
Speaker 2: Two point conversion in temp by the Ravens is good

2747
02:17:34,320 --> 02:17:38,360
Speaker 2: to say, Flowers. So just like that, what a turnaround

2748
02:17:38,440 --> 02:17:41,400
Speaker 2: in this game. Now it's not over a minute, sixteen

2749
02:17:41,440 --> 02:17:43,360
Speaker 2: to go. The Rams are down three. They'll get the

2750
02:17:43,440 --> 02:17:46,200
Speaker 2: ball back, but the Ravens score and get the two

2751
02:17:46,280 --> 02:17:48,880
Speaker 2: point conversion thirty one to twenty eight. All right, we

2752
02:17:49,040 --> 02:17:52,440
Speaker 2: continue on more coverage of another exciting day in the NFL.

2753
02:17:52,600 --> 02:17:55,840
Speaker 2: This is Fox Sports Red Zone Radio. Steve Harbin and

2754
02:17:56,120 --> 02:17:59,160
Speaker 2: Rich Rmberger. This is Fox Sports Red Zone Radio. All right,

2755
02:17:59,200 --> 02:18:03,680
Speaker 2: we're down to the final seconds here of regulation. Ravens

2756
02:18:03,920 --> 02:18:07,720
Speaker 2: lead the Rams thirty one to twenty eight, and Matthew

2757
02:18:07,800 --> 02:18:11,440
Speaker 2: Stafford got away with one. I don't know what he

2758
02:18:11,600 --> 02:18:15,320
Speaker 2: was thinking on second down at the Baltimore eighteen yard line,

2759
02:18:15,320 --> 02:18:18,000
Speaker 2: which means obviously very much in field goal position to

2760
02:18:18,120 --> 02:18:20,840
Speaker 2: tie it. He threw a ball into the corner of

2761
02:18:20,879 --> 02:18:24,080
Speaker 2: the end zone that should have been intercepted. It was dropped,

2762
02:18:24,600 --> 02:18:26,720
Speaker 2: and now the Rams have kicked the field goal to

2763
02:18:26,920 --> 02:18:30,320
Speaker 2: tie this game, so they escape what could have been

2764
02:18:30,360 --> 02:18:34,880
Speaker 2: a disaster and we get seven seconds ago, this game

2765
02:18:35,160 --> 02:18:38,920
Speaker 2: likely to go into overtime. I could not believe he

2766
02:18:39,120 --> 02:18:39,920
Speaker 2: threw that pass.

2767
02:18:40,080 --> 02:18:44,840
Speaker 3: Dude, I do not I do not understand sometimes in

2768
02:18:45,040 --> 02:18:48,280
Speaker 3: situations like that, what's going through a quarterback's head. But

2769
02:18:48,840 --> 02:18:51,920
Speaker 3: I've never played the position. I've played close to it, right.

2770
02:18:52,160 --> 02:18:54,560
Speaker 3: You know, as a center, you know you're somewhat of

2771
02:18:54,600 --> 02:18:58,200
Speaker 3: a signal caller. You're helping with pass protections and you're

2772
02:18:58,240 --> 02:19:01,960
Speaker 3: calling out, you know, blocking schemes and things like that

2773
02:19:02,120 --> 02:19:05,280
Speaker 3: at the line of scrimmage. But essentially the hopes of

2774
02:19:05,360 --> 02:19:09,560
Speaker 3: the franchise rest solely in the quarterback's hands because he's

2775
02:19:09,600 --> 02:19:11,880
Speaker 3: going to touch the ball on every single drive and

2776
02:19:11,959 --> 02:19:15,119
Speaker 3: he's going to make the most consequential decisions with the football.

2777
02:19:15,240 --> 02:19:18,240
Speaker 1: My goodness, thank god. That field goal was good.

2778
02:19:18,520 --> 02:19:22,000
Speaker 2: Yeah before them, I mean it was intercepted. Oh it

2779
02:19:22,160 --> 02:19:26,080
Speaker 2: was dropped as he went down to the ground. Otherwise

2780
02:19:26,120 --> 02:19:28,280
Speaker 2: the Rams would have lost this game. So most likely

2781
02:19:28,360 --> 02:19:31,240
Speaker 2: we're going to overtime. Seven seconds to go. Meanwhile, the

2782
02:19:31,320 --> 02:19:33,600
Speaker 2: Browns get a field goal to extend their lead to

2783
02:19:33,720 --> 02:19:37,800
Speaker 2: thirty one to twenty one over the Jaguars. Jaguars takeover again.

2784
02:19:38,200 --> 02:19:40,480
Speaker 2: It's still two forty five to go. If you get

2785
02:19:40,520 --> 02:19:42,960
Speaker 2: a quick score on sidekick, you might be able to

2786
02:19:43,000 --> 02:19:46,400
Speaker 2: come back. Joe Flacco in this game for the Browns

2787
02:19:46,520 --> 02:19:52,359
Speaker 2: three hundred and eleven yards passing and three touchdowns. Joe Flacco,

2788
02:19:52,720 --> 02:19:55,480
Speaker 2: Joe who was literally sitting on his couch a few

2789
02:19:55,520 --> 02:19:59,039
Speaker 2: weeks ago. And Trevor Lawrence in this game has thrown

2790
02:19:59,120 --> 02:20:02,240
Speaker 2: three picks. He's been hobbled obviously not one hundred percent

2791
02:20:02,360 --> 02:20:05,120
Speaker 2: with that high ankle sprain. And it's going to be

2792
02:20:05,200 --> 02:20:08,880
Speaker 2: tough because they lose this game, suddenly their lead in

2793
02:20:08,959 --> 02:20:12,160
Speaker 2: their division shrinks tremendously. All Right, we got games that

2794
02:20:12,240 --> 02:20:14,720
Speaker 2: are going on right now. The Seahawks have actually tied

2795
02:20:14,800 --> 02:20:17,160
Speaker 2: up their game with the forty nine Ers, and this

2796
02:20:17,400 --> 02:20:20,960
Speaker 2: is with Drew Lock at quarterback. Gino Smith out today

2797
02:20:21,040 --> 02:20:23,720
Speaker 2: Drew Lock four for six sixty eight yards and he

2798
02:20:23,800 --> 02:20:28,360
Speaker 2: threw a touchdown pass to DK Metcalf in this game.

2799
02:20:28,480 --> 02:20:34,840
Speaker 2: So forty nine Ers and the Seahawks are tied at seven.

2800
02:20:34,800 --> 02:20:37,400
Speaker 1: And how about Drew Lock, you know, getting it done.

2801
02:20:37,800 --> 02:20:39,760
Speaker 3: This is a game that I think a lot of

2802
02:20:39,800 --> 02:20:43,000
Speaker 3: people would have written off as a forty nine Ers

2803
02:20:43,520 --> 02:20:48,160
Speaker 3: victory in a runaway, but an eight play drive. Now again,

2804
02:20:48,360 --> 02:20:51,959
Speaker 3: things can look very different even on the second series

2805
02:20:52,480 --> 02:20:55,800
Speaker 3: than as compared to the first series, because we know

2806
02:20:55,920 --> 02:20:58,160
Speaker 3: how it goes. The opening quarter for a lot of

2807
02:20:58,280 --> 02:21:01,760
Speaker 3: offenses are heavily scripted, and then as the game gets going,

2808
02:21:02,200 --> 02:21:05,240
Speaker 3: you know the things the Furgets are flying for real.

2809
02:21:05,600 --> 02:21:08,200
Speaker 1: Well, the defense held up after the.

2810
02:21:08,320 --> 02:21:11,720
Speaker 3: San Francisco four nine Ers scored on two plays in

2811
02:21:11,800 --> 02:21:14,320
Speaker 3: their opening drive. It was a three and out from

2812
02:21:14,400 --> 02:21:17,000
Speaker 3: the Seahawks defense that gets them off the field for

2813
02:21:17,120 --> 02:21:20,640
Speaker 3: the ensuing drive that unfortunately has resulted in a punt

2814
02:21:20,720 --> 02:21:21,320
Speaker 3: for Seattle.

2815
02:21:21,760 --> 02:21:25,640
Speaker 2: All Right, the Broncos and the Chargers are underway and

2816
02:21:25,920 --> 02:21:28,520
Speaker 2: the Chargers opening drive ends up with an eleven yard

2817
02:21:28,760 --> 02:21:31,000
Speaker 2: sack of Justin Herbert, so they're going to punt away.

2818
02:21:31,520 --> 02:21:33,960
Speaker 2: Is it possible? Who would have predicted three weeks in

2819
02:21:34,040 --> 02:21:38,800
Speaker 2: the season that Vance Joseph would be a candidate for

2820
02:21:39,320 --> 02:21:41,800
Speaker 2: Assistant Coach of the Year in the NFL. I mean,

2821
02:21:41,840 --> 02:21:45,160
Speaker 2: you talk about an in season turnaround for a defense

2822
02:21:45,640 --> 02:21:48,280
Speaker 2: that was literally on record setting pace to go down

2823
02:21:48,280 --> 02:21:51,120
Speaker 2: as one of the worst defenses in history to where

2824
02:21:51,240 --> 02:21:54,560
Speaker 2: the Broncos are right now. This guy's done an unbelievable job.

2825
02:21:54,760 --> 02:21:58,400
Speaker 3: He's done an unbelievable job. You said it right, The

2826
02:21:58,440 --> 02:22:02,880
Speaker 3: answer is nobody. Yeah, nobody, buddy. I mean I was like,

2827
02:22:03,000 --> 02:22:04,760
Speaker 3: they They're like, they got to get rid of this guy.

2828
02:22:04,840 --> 02:22:05,960
Speaker 3: This is a disaster.

2829
02:22:06,320 --> 02:22:08,160
Speaker 1: Well on credit to Sean Payton, yep.

2830
02:22:08,520 --> 02:22:11,560
Speaker 3: I mean really, because when when, and I've said this

2831
02:22:11,680 --> 02:22:13,959
Speaker 3: all that, I've said this so many times. We are

2832
02:22:14,080 --> 02:22:16,360
Speaker 3: not patient enough when it comes to quarterbacks. We're not

2833
02:22:16,480 --> 02:22:19,519
Speaker 3: patient enough when it comes to head coaches, and oftentimes

2834
02:22:20,000 --> 02:22:24,360
Speaker 3: because a fan base demands a blood letting, we're not

2835
02:22:24,520 --> 02:22:28,040
Speaker 3: patient enough on coordinators. But we see it all the time.

2836
02:22:28,160 --> 02:22:30,480
Speaker 3: You know, head coach gets a lot of scrutiny, a

2837
02:22:30,520 --> 02:22:33,840
Speaker 3: lot of pressure. I think Brandon Staley this past season,

2838
02:22:34,400 --> 02:22:37,120
Speaker 3: you know, from from a standpoint of things that aren't

2839
02:22:37,200 --> 02:22:40,920
Speaker 3: working on his football team. So he fires his offensive coordinator,

2840
02:22:41,320 --> 02:22:45,000
Speaker 3: so Lombardi out in comes Kellen Moore from the Cowboys.

2841
02:22:45,480 --> 02:22:48,560
Speaker 3: I mean, did they really need to do that? The

2842
02:22:48,600 --> 02:22:51,360
Speaker 3: answer is probably not. Was the offense really their biggest

2843
02:22:51,400 --> 02:22:55,119
Speaker 3: problem last season? The answer is probably not. Their defense

2844
02:22:55,160 --> 02:22:58,520
Speaker 3: has been the biggest problem. But Brandon Stanley Staley is

2845
02:22:58,640 --> 02:23:00,960
Speaker 3: the defensive coordinator of that team. Is, so he's not

2846
02:23:01,040 --> 02:23:04,280
Speaker 3: gonna fire himself, you know. So that's the problem in

2847
02:23:04,360 --> 02:23:07,120
Speaker 3: the NFL. In college football, though, is when things go wrong,

2848
02:23:07,280 --> 02:23:10,240
Speaker 3: it's either a head coach or a quarterback that gets

2849
02:23:10,320 --> 02:23:14,640
Speaker 3: benched or fired, or a coordinator that gets released because

2850
02:23:15,320 --> 02:23:17,760
Speaker 3: the fan base demands that a change be made.

2851
02:23:18,080 --> 02:23:21,160
Speaker 2: All right, Rams, Ravens are into overtime. Let's find out

2852
02:23:21,200 --> 02:23:25,360
Speaker 2: what is trending right now. As Manzi has been keeping

2853
02:23:25,440 --> 02:23:27,560
Speaker 2: us update throughout the show, it's been a pretty good

2854
02:23:27,640 --> 02:23:28,000
Speaker 2: day for her.

2855
02:23:28,280 --> 02:23:30,840
Speaker 9: It's doted slow, but I think, you know, we ended

2856
02:23:30,879 --> 02:23:33,640
Speaker 9: on a high exciting note, that's for sure.

2857
02:23:34,000 --> 02:23:35,840
Speaker 10: The Jaguars and the Brawms are still going.

2858
02:23:35,920 --> 02:23:39,120
Speaker 9: Jaguars trying to erase a ten point deficite, but they

2859
02:23:39,160 --> 02:23:40,440
Speaker 9: only have two minutes left.

2860
02:23:40,480 --> 02:23:42,680
Speaker 10: They are at Cleveland's thirty one yard line. It's second

2861
02:23:42,720 --> 02:23:43,039
Speaker 10: and one.

2862
02:23:43,320 --> 02:23:45,959
Speaker 9: They're down thirty one to twenty one is the score.

2863
02:23:46,320 --> 02:23:47,880
Speaker 9: And then we have the Rams and the Ravens. Like

2864
02:23:47,920 --> 02:23:50,560
Speaker 9: you just mentioned, they just got going in extra time.

2865
02:23:50,720 --> 02:23:53,360
Speaker 9: Ot is what we got, the Vikings and the Raiders.

2866
02:23:53,400 --> 02:23:56,360
Speaker 9: We've had three straight punts to start the first quarter,

2867
02:23:56,760 --> 02:23:58,520
Speaker 9: so let's hope it gets a little bit more exciting.

2868
02:23:58,600 --> 02:24:00,879
Speaker 9: Two minutes to go in the first that you mentioned

2869
02:24:00,920 --> 02:24:04,039
Speaker 9: that the Seahawks answered with a touchdown Drew Lock finding

2870
02:24:04,120 --> 02:24:07,120
Speaker 9: dk Metcalf. No Gino Smith in this one for Seattle

2871
02:24:07,240 --> 02:24:09,280
Speaker 9: due to a groin injury, but its tie game against

2872
02:24:09,320 --> 02:24:11,920
Speaker 9: the forty nine Ers in San Francisco seven to seven,

2873
02:24:12,080 --> 02:24:14,440
Speaker 9: less than six minutes to go in the first quarter.

2874
02:24:14,720 --> 02:24:16,959
Speaker 10: The Chiefs have already given the ball to the Bills.

2875
02:24:17,000 --> 02:24:18,920
Speaker 9: They started, weren't able to do anything to get the

2876
02:24:18,959 --> 02:24:21,240
Speaker 9: game going, so this is very early in the game.

2877
02:24:21,320 --> 02:24:24,840
Speaker 9: Bills just got their opening drive going. The Broncos and

2878
02:24:24,959 --> 02:24:27,720
Speaker 9: the Chargers also just got going. All of these games

2879
02:24:27,800 --> 02:24:30,240
Speaker 9: are scoreless, but the games that have finished, We're gonna

2880
02:24:30,240 --> 02:24:32,960
Speaker 9: start with the most shocking one, the Jets crushing the

2881
02:24:33,080 --> 02:24:34,760
Speaker 9: Texans thirty to six.

2882
02:24:35,080 --> 02:24:38,520
Speaker 10: Now CJ. Stroud for the Texans, he is in concussion protocol.

2883
02:24:38,760 --> 02:24:41,800
Speaker 9: He was only tenty of ten of twenty three for

2884
02:24:41,959 --> 02:24:44,520
Speaker 9: ninety one yards, but this happened in the fourth quarter,

2885
02:24:44,720 --> 02:24:48,320
Speaker 9: so Stroud just struggled in this game against the Jets defense.

2886
02:24:48,520 --> 02:24:48,680
Speaker 6: Well.

2887
02:24:48,800 --> 02:24:52,000
Speaker 9: Zach Wilson twenty seven of thirty six for three hundred

2888
02:24:52,040 --> 02:24:55,240
Speaker 9: and one yards and two touchdowns, one to Rondo Cobb

2889
02:24:55,360 --> 02:24:58,560
Speaker 9: won to Bresaul again. Thirty to six was the final score,

2890
02:24:58,680 --> 02:25:01,000
Speaker 9: so Jets improved to five and the Texans fall to

2891
02:25:01,080 --> 02:25:03,879
Speaker 9: seven and six. The Bengals defeated the Colts thirty four

2892
02:25:03,959 --> 02:25:06,880
Speaker 9: to fourteen. Jake Browning eighteen of twenty four two hundred

2893
02:25:06,879 --> 02:25:09,840
Speaker 9: and seventy five yards, two touchdowns, one interception. He also

2894
02:25:09,920 --> 02:25:13,120
Speaker 9: had a rushing touchdown. The Saints cruise passed the Panthers

2895
02:25:13,240 --> 02:25:15,800
Speaker 9: twenty eight to six, so the Saints improved to six

2896
02:25:15,879 --> 02:25:19,240
Speaker 9: and seven, the Panthers still one and twelve for the season.

2897
02:25:19,480 --> 02:25:22,879
Speaker 9: The Buccaneers outscored the Falcons twenty nine to twenty five.

2898
02:25:23,160 --> 02:25:25,760
Speaker 9: The Bears with a twenty eight to thirteen victory.

2899
02:25:25,600 --> 02:25:26,720
Speaker 10: Over the Lions.

2900
02:25:27,160 --> 02:25:29,240
Speaker 9: Justin Fields through for two hundred and twenty three yards

2901
02:25:29,320 --> 02:25:32,280
Speaker 9: one touchdown. He also had a rushing touchdown. DJ Moore

2902
02:25:32,280 --> 02:25:34,880
Speaker 9: a touchdown on the ground and in the air, and

2903
02:25:35,280 --> 02:25:39,840
Speaker 9: Brownie James has officially made his USC Daybut fellas he's

2904
02:25:40,000 --> 02:25:40,400
Speaker 9: in there.

2905
02:25:40,560 --> 02:25:44,039
Speaker 10: Yes, it's been fun. Always is back to you guys.

2906
02:25:43,879 --> 02:25:46,480
Speaker 2: All right, Monsie, thank you very much. It has been

2907
02:25:46,720 --> 02:25:50,000
Speaker 2: entertaining and again it's not over with those morning games again.

2908
02:25:50,080 --> 02:25:52,720
Speaker 2: Two minute warning here. Jaguars at the Cleveland thirty one

2909
02:25:52,760 --> 02:25:55,680
Speaker 2: yard line, third and one down ten, So they need

2910
02:25:55,760 --> 02:25:58,560
Speaker 2: a miracle, but they are still alive. And of course

2911
02:25:58,800 --> 02:26:02,760
Speaker 2: Rams and Ravens in overtime. The Ravens have the ball

2912
02:26:02,959 --> 02:26:06,200
Speaker 2: right now, starting out third and six at their own

2913
02:26:06,240 --> 02:26:09,760
Speaker 2: twenty nine yard line. You know, I'm looking again at

2914
02:26:09,840 --> 02:26:12,120
Speaker 2: some of these games, the Bills in Chiefs. This is

2915
02:26:12,160 --> 02:26:14,800
Speaker 2: a game that they point spread and did not make

2916
02:26:14,840 --> 02:26:18,760
Speaker 2: any sense. Just didn't make any sense. The Chiefs at home,

2917
02:26:19,400 --> 02:26:21,760
Speaker 2: just a point and a half favorite at home against

2918
02:26:21,800 --> 02:26:25,840
Speaker 2: a Bills team that's been reeling in recent weeks. So

2919
02:26:26,000 --> 02:26:28,240
Speaker 2: we're going to see two teams that you know, a

2920
02:26:28,320 --> 02:26:30,680
Speaker 2: lot of people before the season say I'll be the

2921
02:26:30,800 --> 02:26:33,440
Speaker 2: Chiefs and Bills they'll be there. Obviously the Bengals were

2922
02:26:33,480 --> 02:26:36,160
Speaker 2: in the conversation, but NotI that one of these teams

2923
02:26:36,200 --> 02:26:39,039
Speaker 2: has played anywhere near to the level that a lot

2924
02:26:39,080 --> 02:26:41,440
Speaker 2: of teams thought. And you know, getting back to the

2925
02:26:41,600 --> 02:26:44,680
Speaker 2: Chiefs for a moment here, the disappointment at the wide

2926
02:26:44,720 --> 02:26:47,640
Speaker 2: receiver position. And this is something going back to your

2927
02:26:47,720 --> 02:26:53,960
Speaker 2: former quarterback Tom Brady and how incredibly talented he was.

2928
02:26:54,280 --> 02:26:58,160
Speaker 2: Because outside of Ranny Moss and obviously they had great

2929
02:26:58,200 --> 02:27:01,160
Speaker 2: tight ends with Gronk, but at the wide receiver position,

2930
02:27:01,360 --> 02:27:04,480
Speaker 2: they made stars out of a Julian Edelman or a

2931
02:27:04,520 --> 02:27:08,720
Speaker 2: Wes Welker, and it just seemed like it didn't matter

2932
02:27:09,320 --> 02:27:12,680
Speaker 2: who their skill guys were, it was always going to

2933
02:27:12,720 --> 02:27:15,200
Speaker 2: work thanks to Tom Brady, and I think there was

2934
02:27:15,280 --> 02:27:18,520
Speaker 2: sort of maybe this idea that Patrick Mahomes could do

2935
02:27:18,640 --> 02:27:21,320
Speaker 2: the same thing. With the Chiefs. It didn't matter. We

2936
02:27:21,360 --> 02:27:23,400
Speaker 2: got rid of Tyreek Hill Boom. We still win the

2937
02:27:23,480 --> 02:27:27,640
Speaker 2: Super Bowl, but they lose Juju Smith Schuster, and their

2938
02:27:27,640 --> 02:27:30,360
Speaker 2: wide receivers have been sub par, I mean not just

2939
02:27:30,879 --> 02:27:35,280
Speaker 2: lack of production, but drops leading the league. And you know,

2940
02:27:35,840 --> 02:27:39,720
Speaker 2: maybe a little reevaluation of having Mahomes just pulling out

2941
02:27:39,800 --> 02:27:42,800
Speaker 2: miracle after miracle. He's confident by the way I think

2942
02:27:42,840 --> 02:27:44,920
Speaker 2: he mentioned, Hey, we were six and four at one

2943
02:27:44,959 --> 02:27:47,080
Speaker 2: point and went on to win the Super Bowl. But

2944
02:27:47,200 --> 02:27:51,760
Speaker 2: the eyeball test tells you that this Chiefs team offensively

2945
02:27:52,520 --> 02:27:55,160
Speaker 2: is nowhere near where we've seen this team at a

2946
02:27:55,240 --> 02:27:58,280
Speaker 2: similar time of the season over the last five years.

2947
02:27:58,560 --> 02:28:01,279
Speaker 3: Well, what we're not used to say is the Chiefs

2948
02:28:01,360 --> 02:28:05,120
Speaker 3: hurt themselves, and we have seen that this season with

2949
02:28:05,280 --> 02:28:08,560
Speaker 3: all those drops you mentioned. These are self inflicted wounds

2950
02:28:08,600 --> 02:28:13,840
Speaker 3: when you have touchdown passes being dropped by Marquez Valdez,

2951
02:28:13,920 --> 02:28:17,520
Speaker 3: Scantling or Rashie Rice like we've seen throughout the season,

2952
02:28:18,080 --> 02:28:22,160
Speaker 3: or earlier in the year with blanking on the name

2953
02:28:22,240 --> 02:28:25,000
Speaker 3: of the Giants receiver who came over to Kansas City.

2954
02:28:25,480 --> 02:28:28,600
Speaker 3: But Travis Kelcey, as he's even had a couple of

2955
02:28:28,680 --> 02:28:32,480
Speaker 3: slow games. Now, part of that is because you'll have

2956
02:28:32,760 --> 02:28:36,119
Speaker 3: teams double team and Kelsey and that's a smart strategy

2957
02:28:36,280 --> 02:28:39,279
Speaker 3: to try to slow down the favorite option for Mahomes.

2958
02:28:39,640 --> 02:28:40,840
Speaker 1: But you said it right.

2959
02:28:41,080 --> 02:28:44,040
Speaker 3: It's a much different looking offense. But a lot of

2960
02:28:44,080 --> 02:28:46,920
Speaker 3: those wounds are self inflicted. You still have some regular

2961
02:28:47,040 --> 02:28:49,879
Speaker 3: season left to fix these problems. You need to get

2962
02:28:49,920 --> 02:28:52,520
Speaker 3: this win over the Bills. This is a huge, huge

2963
02:28:52,560 --> 02:28:54,800
Speaker 3: game for Kansas City as much as it is for

2964
02:28:54,920 --> 02:28:56,359
Speaker 3: the Bills playing for their playoff.

2965
02:28:56,520 --> 02:28:58,800
Speaker 2: Last stop you for a second, go for it. Okay,

2966
02:28:59,680 --> 02:29:02,240
Speaker 2: So the Chargers are playing the Broncos. We just saw

2967
02:29:02,280 --> 02:29:07,320
Speaker 2: a Brandon Staley special. Yes, So the Charters punted and

2968
02:29:07,520 --> 02:29:11,920
Speaker 2: on Denver's first play interception, so the Chargers get the

2969
02:29:12,000 --> 02:29:17,480
Speaker 2: ball back. They had a fourth down at the seven

2970
02:29:17,840 --> 02:29:24,160
Speaker 2: yard line and decided to go for it instead. Of

2971
02:29:24,240 --> 02:29:26,160
Speaker 2: kicking the field goal to take an early three to

2972
02:29:26,280 --> 02:29:30,000
Speaker 2: nothing lead, incomplete pass, turnover on downs. Yeah, this is

2973
02:29:30,080 --> 02:29:32,680
Speaker 2: the Brandon Staley spats. They had a fourth and three

2974
02:29:32,840 --> 02:29:36,080
Speaker 2: at the Denver six instead, and it's.

2975
02:29:36,040 --> 02:29:36,920
Speaker 1: The beginning of the game.

2976
02:29:37,200 --> 02:29:40,760
Speaker 2: Just take your three points and go But no, let's

2977
02:29:40,920 --> 02:29:44,560
Speaker 2: go for it incomplete pass you walk away with nothing.

2978
02:29:44,959 --> 02:29:49,520
Speaker 3: Well, it just goes to show you either how look

2979
02:29:50,080 --> 02:29:53,720
Speaker 3: how much of a prisoner Brandon stalely is to this,

2980
02:29:54,720 --> 02:29:59,920
Speaker 3: this idea that his you know, his his his people

2981
02:30:00,280 --> 02:30:04,920
Speaker 3: statisticians upstairs are giving him good information about fourth downs

2982
02:30:05,320 --> 02:30:08,000
Speaker 3: that they should try to convert. And I will give

2983
02:30:08,040 --> 02:30:11,400
Speaker 3: credit where credits due, justin Herbert through a beautiful ball

2984
02:30:11,600 --> 02:30:16,080
Speaker 3: that was nearly a touchdown pass. But the other side

2985
02:30:16,120 --> 02:30:18,280
Speaker 3: of it is maybe Brandon Staley has that much faith

2986
02:30:18,360 --> 02:30:21,480
Speaker 3: in his defense. And this may be where having a

2987
02:30:21,600 --> 02:30:25,400
Speaker 3: defensive minded head coach can harm you, because if you

2988
02:30:25,480 --> 02:30:27,280
Speaker 3: have that much faith in your defense, where you have

2989
02:30:27,440 --> 02:30:30,000
Speaker 3: the Denver Broncos backed up to their own five yard line,

2990
02:30:30,320 --> 02:30:32,720
Speaker 3: if you don't convert, well, then you better turn around

2991
02:30:32,760 --> 02:30:35,320
Speaker 3: and get a stop instead. On the opening play of

2992
02:30:35,360 --> 02:30:38,240
Speaker 3: the next drive for Denver, they get a twelve yard

2993
02:30:38,360 --> 02:30:44,119
Speaker 3: run and they're out to the Denver fifteen to seventeen

2994
02:30:44,200 --> 02:30:46,440
Speaker 3: yard line, whatever it is, as opposed to being backed

2995
02:30:46,480 --> 02:30:47,520
Speaker 3: up against their own goal line.

2996
02:30:47,560 --> 02:30:51,160
Speaker 2: All Right, the Jaguars have just gotten a touchdown Trevor

2997
02:30:51,240 --> 02:30:54,840
Speaker 2: Lawrens to Angram two yard pass. So the Jaguars an

2998
02:30:54,879 --> 02:30:57,560
Speaker 2: extra point away from making this a three point game

2999
02:30:57,640 --> 02:30:59,360
Speaker 2: with a minute and a half to go. This game

3000
02:30:59,400 --> 02:31:02,160
Speaker 2: has been on for why this guy is zone? It's

3001
02:31:02,320 --> 02:31:07,000
Speaker 2: a four hour game here anyway, extra point away from

3002
02:31:07,040 --> 02:31:08,880
Speaker 2: making a three point game in and a half. So

3003
02:31:09,000 --> 02:31:11,360
Speaker 2: obviously they're gonna go for an on side kick. But

3004
02:31:11,520 --> 02:31:14,240
Speaker 2: the Jags are not done yet, trailing by a score

3005
02:31:14,280 --> 02:31:16,959
Speaker 2: of thirty one to twenty three. Meanwhile, we are now

3006
02:31:17,160 --> 02:31:19,840
Speaker 2: with the Rams on the ball and a chance to

3007
02:31:20,040 --> 02:31:23,520
Speaker 2: end this game. And what has happened here is that

3008
02:31:23,680 --> 02:31:28,000
Speaker 2: a fumble and a touchdown for the Ravens. What happened? Guys?

3009
02:31:28,320 --> 02:31:30,800
Speaker 2: The Ravens are in the end zone. This game is over.

3010
02:31:31,440 --> 02:31:35,000
Speaker 2: The Ravens have beaten the Rams thirty seven to thirty one.

3011
02:31:35,120 --> 02:31:38,000
Speaker 2: I miss the play. I know the Rams had the ball,

3012
02:31:39,480 --> 02:31:41,160
Speaker 2: but they don't end up with the touchdown.

3013
02:31:42,160 --> 02:31:45,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Ravens are selling They're replaying it right now.

3014
02:31:45,440 --> 02:31:51,280
Speaker 2: Wait a second, it was a punt return for a touchdown?

3015
02:31:51,440 --> 02:31:52,039
Speaker 4: Is that right?

3016
02:31:52,360 --> 02:31:56,840
Speaker 2: Taylan Wallace seventy six yards on a punt return for

3017
02:31:57,040 --> 02:32:01,400
Speaker 2: a touchdown to give the Ravens the win thirty seven

3018
02:32:01,480 --> 02:32:04,920
Speaker 2: to thirty one. Here's a replay. This is a seventy

3019
02:32:05,120 --> 02:32:09,080
Speaker 2: six yard punt return for a touchdown by Wallace to

3020
02:32:09,320 --> 02:32:14,199
Speaker 2: give the raate Wow, right down the sideline, some great moves,

3021
02:32:14,320 --> 02:32:19,760
Speaker 2: great blocking, stumbling, bumbling just the way into the end zone.

3022
02:32:19,840 --> 02:32:21,240
Speaker 2: What a finish to this game.

3023
02:32:21,480 --> 02:32:24,560
Speaker 3: This is the John Harbaughs Special right, Because you're a

3024
02:32:24,640 --> 02:32:27,960
Speaker 3: special teams You're talking about a special teams coach turn

3025
02:32:28,080 --> 02:32:30,400
Speaker 3: head coach in this league. And if there's one thing

3026
02:32:30,600 --> 02:32:34,840
Speaker 3: that you know they're gonna spend time on is obviously

3027
02:32:35,080 --> 02:32:38,680
Speaker 3: their special teams. And Tylan Wallace when they absolutely needed

3028
02:32:38,760 --> 02:32:42,000
Speaker 3: something to happen, their offense did just enough to get

3029
02:32:42,080 --> 02:32:45,400
Speaker 3: them the lead late in the game. Lamar Jackson played

3030
02:32:45,480 --> 02:32:48,400
Speaker 3: here on that final drive, but their defense let them down,

3031
02:32:48,720 --> 02:32:51,520
Speaker 3: allowing the Rams to kick the field goal and take

3032
02:32:51,560 --> 02:32:55,120
Speaker 3: them into overtime. So it's special teams that ends up

3033
02:32:55,160 --> 02:32:59,199
Speaker 3: getting them to win. Number sixteen. Wallace And like you said,

3034
02:32:59,320 --> 02:33:01,720
Speaker 3: I mean there were some good blocks thrown. Yeah, but

3035
02:33:02,040 --> 02:33:06,160
Speaker 3: what an individual effort from your returner to get this done?

3036
02:33:06,360 --> 02:33:11,360
Speaker 2: All right, The Jaguars decided to go for two, so

3037
02:33:11,480 --> 02:33:13,480
Speaker 2: instead of kicking the extra point to make it a

3038
02:33:13,600 --> 02:33:15,320
Speaker 2: three point game of a minute and a half to go,

3039
02:33:15,480 --> 02:33:18,600
Speaker 2: they decided to go for two. Well, and did not

3040
02:33:18,760 --> 02:33:22,560
Speaker 2: get it. I guess the feeling was, if we recover

3041
02:33:22,720 --> 02:33:27,400
Speaker 2: the on side kick, are we going for a tire?

3042
02:33:27,400 --> 02:33:29,320
Speaker 2: We're going for a win on the road against the Browns.

3043
02:33:29,400 --> 02:33:32,400
Speaker 2: I guess that's the mentality there a Peterson. But they

3044
02:33:32,480 --> 02:33:35,640
Speaker 2: decided to go for two, did not get it, so

3045
02:33:35,840 --> 02:33:38,520
Speaker 2: they will on side kick. Trailing the Browns by a

3046
02:33:38,560 --> 02:33:41,039
Speaker 2: score of thirty one to twenty seven with a minute

3047
02:33:41,040 --> 02:33:43,920
Speaker 2: and a half to go in the fourth quarter of

3048
02:33:44,240 --> 02:33:44,760
Speaker 2: that game.

3049
02:33:45,760 --> 02:33:49,720
Speaker 3: Geez, we are I mean the action early in the

3050
02:33:49,800 --> 02:33:52,760
Speaker 3: game in some of these games already, even though scoreless

3051
02:33:53,280 --> 02:33:57,720
Speaker 3: in LA, this Denver game, it's been actioning pack so far.

3052
02:33:57,879 --> 02:34:00,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, Broncos are going right down the field, so they're

3053
02:34:00,240 --> 02:34:04,199
Speaker 2: already into a Charger territory. They got a third down there. Meanwhile,

3054
02:34:04,280 --> 02:34:08,040
Speaker 2: Bill Chiefs no score. Same for the Vikings and Raiders.

3080

3082
02:35:38,520 --> 02:35:41,800
Speaker 12: Can I just say, like every ounce of anxiety left

3083
02:35:41,840 --> 02:35:44,199
Speaker 12: my body at about noon yesterday when show Tony signed

3084
02:35:44,200 --> 02:35:46,720
Speaker 12: with the Dodgers. So everything that's Are.

3085
02:35:46,640 --> 02:35:49,039
Speaker 2: You guaranteeing a World Series win today? Because I gave

3086
02:35:49,080 --> 02:35:51,360
Speaker 2: you a hundred reasons why you got a guy in

3087
02:35:51,440 --> 02:35:53,640
Speaker 2: six years and baseball's never had a winning season.

3088
02:35:53,800 --> 02:35:55,840
Speaker 8: Yeah, No, I'm not guaranteeing single guy doesn't win a

3089
02:35:55,840 --> 02:35:57,280
Speaker 8: baseball season, thank you very much.

3090
02:35:57,800 --> 02:36:00,200
Speaker 2: They need they need pitching. It's what they need in

3091
02:36:00,280 --> 02:36:01,000
Speaker 2: the well way.

3092
02:36:01,040 --> 02:36:04,040
Speaker 1: The fun thing is he can pitch. He just won't

3093
02:36:04,080 --> 02:36:05,160
Speaker 1: be doing it this season.

3094
02:36:05,400 --> 02:36:07,440
Speaker 2: Well, and we'll find out whether or not he can

3095
02:36:07,520 --> 02:36:10,960
Speaker 2: recover from a second by the way, at elbow surgery.

3096
02:36:11,840 --> 02:36:15,800
Speaker 2: Right now, the Broncos defense is beating up on Justin Herbert.

3097
02:36:15,879 --> 02:36:20,160
Speaker 2: He had a tip pass that was intercepted inside his

3098
02:36:20,280 --> 02:36:22,920
Speaker 2: own five yard line. The Broncos got a quick score

3099
02:36:22,959 --> 02:36:25,720
Speaker 2: to go up seven to nothing, and they are just

3100
02:36:26,120 --> 02:36:28,200
Speaker 2: unloading on Herbert right now.

3101
02:36:28,520 --> 02:36:31,480
Speaker 3: It's been bad so the Chargers so far. They got

3102
02:36:31,560 --> 02:36:34,120
Speaker 3: the ball first to start this game, five plays in

3103
02:36:34,200 --> 02:36:36,880
Speaker 3: a punt. Then we talked about it already, but that

3104
02:36:37,040 --> 02:36:40,800
Speaker 3: turnover on downs, Yeah, when they were inside of the

3105
02:36:41,040 --> 02:36:45,600
Speaker 3: Denver Broncos ten yard line that results in the Broncos

3106
02:36:45,640 --> 02:36:49,959
Speaker 3: getting possession at their own five. They punt after five

3107
02:36:50,040 --> 02:36:53,280
Speaker 3: plays themselves forced the interception. They go in for a

3108
02:36:53,360 --> 02:36:56,960
Speaker 3: one or three yard touchdown one play later, and so

3109
02:36:57,160 --> 02:36:58,520
Speaker 3: the Chargers next drive has.

3110
02:36:58,480 --> 02:37:01,480
Speaker 2: Begun, but they're gonna have to punt again.

3111
02:37:01,640 --> 02:37:03,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're just getting Lesser're gonna go for than.

3112
02:37:03,720 --> 02:37:06,840
Speaker 2: Just keep going for it the whole time. But rough

3113
02:37:06,879 --> 02:37:10,200
Speaker 2: start for the Chargers, rough start for the Chiefs. The

3114
02:37:10,360 --> 02:37:12,880
Speaker 2: Bills lead by a score of seven to nothing. And

3115
02:37:13,040 --> 02:37:16,680
Speaker 2: again we're wondering why the Chiefs at home would be

3116
02:37:16,879 --> 02:37:20,680
Speaker 2: such a small favorite today. But so far, here are

3117
02:37:20,720 --> 02:37:25,840
Speaker 2: the Chiefs possessions. Interception, punt, and three and out punt.

3118
02:37:26,480 --> 02:37:29,320
Speaker 2: That is the start of the day for this Chiefs

3119
02:37:29,480 --> 02:37:33,920
Speaker 2: offense that bears no resemblance to the dynamic offense we

3120
02:37:34,000 --> 02:37:37,120
Speaker 2: have seen over the last several years. So far, to

3121
02:37:37,200 --> 02:37:40,560
Speaker 2: start this game, Patrick Mahomes is four for eight twenty

3122
02:37:40,680 --> 02:37:43,200
Speaker 2: nine yards and a pick. That's a passer rating of

3123
02:37:43,360 --> 02:37:44,880
Speaker 2: nineteen something.

3124
02:37:45,000 --> 02:37:48,400
Speaker 3: Also, to clean up from earlier in that Texans game

3125
02:37:48,560 --> 02:37:50,400
Speaker 3: where they lost to the Jets, CJ.

3126
02:37:50,640 --> 02:37:53,480
Speaker 1: Stroud is in concussion Yeah protocol.

3127
02:37:53,600 --> 02:37:57,280
Speaker 3: Yes, he took a hard hit that resulted in the

3128
02:37:57,360 --> 02:37:59,640
Speaker 3: back of his head slamming into the ground with five

3129
02:37:59,640 --> 02:38:02,680
Speaker 3: minutes remaining in that game, so I mean it looked bad.

3130
02:38:02,760 --> 02:38:05,119
Speaker 3: I don't know if if this means he can't start

3131
02:38:05,240 --> 02:38:08,640
Speaker 3: next week, but that's that's highly questionable as the Texans

3132
02:38:08,879 --> 02:38:10,960
Speaker 3: are still chasing down a wildcard spot.

3133
02:38:11,120 --> 02:38:13,800
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, the forty nine ers look unbeatable after the last

3134
02:38:13,879 --> 02:38:17,040
Speaker 2: couple of weeks, but they haven't played Drew Locke yet

3135
02:38:17,480 --> 02:38:20,480
Speaker 2: and the Seahawks have a ten to seven lead. As

3136
02:38:20,520 --> 02:38:23,400
Speaker 2: we get the second quarter underway, brock Perty is just

3137
02:38:23,480 --> 02:38:25,760
Speaker 2: three to five for forty four yards. Drew lock is

3138
02:38:25,800 --> 02:38:29,040
Speaker 2: six and nine for eighty one yards and a touchdown.

3139
02:38:29,600 --> 02:38:32,720
Speaker 2: So after that seventy two yard run for Christian McCaffrey,

3140
02:38:33,320 --> 02:38:36,000
Speaker 2: the Seahawks defense is tightened up and they have a

3141
02:38:36,080 --> 02:38:39,800
Speaker 2: ten to seven lead right now against the forty nine Ers.

3142
02:38:40,480 --> 02:38:42,480
Speaker 3: There are a couple of coaches you can't count out

3143
02:38:42,520 --> 02:38:45,960
Speaker 3: in this business. Pete Carroll's one of them, obviously, Andy Reid.

3144
02:38:46,000 --> 02:38:48,000
Speaker 3: On the other side of this Bills matchup right now,

3145
02:38:48,080 --> 02:38:50,560
Speaker 3: even though they're trailing seven to nothing at home, a

3146
02:38:50,720 --> 02:38:52,520
Speaker 3: great home field advantage at Arrow.

3147
02:38:52,560 --> 02:38:55,720
Speaker 2: Oh well yeah, Seahawks interception now, oh here we go.

3148
02:38:56,160 --> 02:39:00,280
Speaker 2: Now they just intercepted the pass off tipped off? Leave

3149
02:39:01,040 --> 02:39:03,680
Speaker 2: was that, Samuel or are you? I think shamis as

3150
02:39:03,760 --> 02:39:06,920
Speaker 2: hands and Seahawks intercepts, so they have the lead and

3151
02:39:07,120 --> 02:39:11,200
Speaker 2: the ball ten to seven right there. Coming up later on,

3152
02:39:11,320 --> 02:39:14,040
Speaker 2: of course, it's going to be the Eagles and the Cowboys,

3153
02:39:14,720 --> 02:39:17,040
Speaker 2: huge game, game of the week, no question about that.

3154
02:39:17,959 --> 02:39:22,720
Speaker 2: My prediction again is the Eagles gut punch blowout loss

3155
02:39:22,760 --> 02:39:24,920
Speaker 2: at home against the forty nine Ers will be the

3156
02:39:25,000 --> 02:39:27,440
Speaker 2: wake up call they need. I expect the Eagles to

3157
02:39:27,480 --> 02:39:30,240
Speaker 2: have their best game of the year. I'm taking Philadelphia

3158
02:39:30,400 --> 02:39:31,720
Speaker 2: on the road against the Cowboys.

3159
02:39:31,720 --> 02:39:31,920
Speaker 1: Wow.

3160
02:39:31,920 --> 02:39:35,480
Speaker 3: Okay, so you got the points on your side three

3161
02:39:35,520 --> 02:39:38,480
Speaker 3: and a half right now, Dallas is favorite at home. Look,

3162
02:39:38,520 --> 02:39:40,280
Speaker 3: I don't love picking a side in this game. I

3163
02:39:40,320 --> 02:39:43,160
Speaker 3: think it's a coin flip. I'll take the over fifty

3164
02:39:43,200 --> 02:39:45,200
Speaker 3: one and a half though a lot of points, a

3165
02:39:45,280 --> 02:39:47,920
Speaker 3: lot still to come. Keep it right here, much more

3166
02:39:48,000 --> 02:39:50,720
Speaker 3: coming up. This is Fox Sports Red Zone Radio
