19
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 4: an NFL fan, this is.

20
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 3: The best weekend.

21
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 4: Like everybody talks about the championship game weekend because you

22
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 4: got the four best teams.

23
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:18,680
Speaker 3: No, Like, what makes this weekend greatest?

24
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:21,320
Speaker 4: Even if you always have to suffer through the inevitable

25
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 4: early Saturday Texans game, that's always the AFC South game.

26
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 4: Even when you suffer through the AFC South Early Saturday slate,

27
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 4: you know you're gonna get a couple of bombshells in

28
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 4: this one, just a couple of epic like through the

29
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 4: course of the weekend, and there's so much on the line,

30
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:39,319
Speaker 4: and it feels like this particular weekend, there's always a

31
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 4: team in there that you're like, ah, well, good for them,

32
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 4: didn't think their season would go this far. I just

33
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 4: think this is the most magical weekend. Taking your own

34
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 4: team aside from it, you just separate that, you parse

35
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 4: it out, and you say, what's the best weekend in

36
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 4: the NFL other than opening weekend of the season.

37
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 3: Where we're all excited.

38
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 4: I think this weekend for all the playoffs is the

39
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 4: best weekend. For the action is the best weekend. And

40
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 4: the fact that over the course of this weekend, you know,

41
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 4: we get Mahomes, we get this this plucky Commander's team

42
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 4: against an Eagles team with weighted expectations. We get an

43
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 4: MVP matchup that I don't think is really just about

44
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 4: the MVPs I mean, just go up and down the

45
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 4: list of this weekend and it's just storyline after storyline

46
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:19,399
Speaker 4: that's cool and compelling.

47
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 3: Like I cannot wait to sit.

48
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 4: In a Buffalo wild Wings and watch the excitement around

49
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 4: me for two straight days.

50
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:30,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree with you. I think if you spot on,

51
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 2: you're one hundred percent correct. Do The other thing too

52
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 2: about this weekend as posted to next weekend, is it's Saturday,

53
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:41,080
Speaker 2: it's Sunday. It's it's four games, right, Like this is

54
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:46,920
Speaker 2: the last Saturday of football. So I love having my

55
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 2: four games. I love having my Saturday and my Sunday.

56
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:57,679
Speaker 2: You know, since August we've had football on Saturdays, right,

57
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 2: like you know, and you get the quality of game,

58
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 2: you get two days of it. I mean it's it's

59
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:10,079
Speaker 2: spectacular and you're right, the matchups are insane, right.

60
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 5: So yeah, so it's.

61
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:15,519
Speaker 2: One of the Texas but Texas Chiefs, you know, Chiefs

62
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 2: going for the three peat.

63
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:18,919
Speaker 5: Plucky as the word.

64
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:22,399
Speaker 2: They have a great, great quarterback in Jaydon Daniels, and

65
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 2: they get a shot to be in this game in

66
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:28,920
Speaker 2: a big way and scare the Lions. Washington's get scare

67
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 2: the Lions, you know, Eagles, Rams and of course, like

68
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 2: you said, it Man unbelievable, Alan Lamar in Buffalo, and

69
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 2: we could have two snow games tomorrow which could be really,

70
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 2: really a lot of fun.

71
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 5: And then you know, Monday night's the National Championships.

72
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 2: So like this, this begins the Holy Quintet and it's

73
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 2: it's it's spectacular.

74
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 5: I agree with you. This is easily the best weekend

75
00:03:58,480 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 5: right here.

76
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 4: And I don't know why at five in the morning,

77
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 4: I tried to put the Eagles against the Commanders.

78
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 3: We got another week before we get that result.

79
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 4: But I will say this, tell me because yeah.

80
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 3: No, no, I'm not tell me.

81
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:18,160
Speaker 4: Tell me this from your mind, your level of concern,

82
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 4: because I love how much you know the Eagles, And

83
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 4: for me, I think this, if there's any game this weekend,

84
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 4: it's hard.

85
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 3: To cut through the BS.

86
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 4: And by that I mean the BS in the way

87
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,119
Speaker 4: that we talk about certain football teams.

88
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 3: Like I just would implore everybody like.

89
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 4: At some point when we're making our predictions and we're

90
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 4: trying to figure out what to see for the game,

91
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 4: and when we're trying to actually figure out what's going

92
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 4: to happen over the course of the weekend, we gotta

93
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 4: stop just listening to to a bunch of panelists yell

94
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:53,279
Speaker 4: about you know, a quarterback or whatever, or yell about drama,

95
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 4: like I don't care about the fact that a book

96
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 4: was being read on the sidelines, you know, a week

97
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 4: Like I don't. I don't care about that anymore. But

98
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 4: that's the only narrative anybody wants to have around Philly

99
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:05,719
Speaker 4: right now. So I look at this and say, okay,

100
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 4: let's just shut off all the noise of you know,

101
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 4: as I listened.

102
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:11,840
Speaker 3: To every sports talk show every day. I do what

103
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:13,480
Speaker 3: I do because I love this medium.

104
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:15,479
Speaker 4: I listen to this stuff all the time, and I

105
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:19,479
Speaker 4: feel like every conversation that I've just been force fed

106
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 4: over the course of the last week about this Philly

107
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 4: game is like, well, you know, you, on one side,

108
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:27,360
Speaker 4: you've got aj Brown reading a book on a sideline,

109
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 4: and on the other side, you've got a team galvanized

110
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:34,279
Speaker 4: because of the fires. And say, okay, can we actually

111
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 4: like take a look at why this game? Here's my

112
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 4: real question for anyone that wants to pick an upset here.

113
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 4: Why will this game be different than it was a

114
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:45,159
Speaker 4: month and a half ago when the Eagles ran all

115
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 4: over the Rams? And I just that's the one question

116
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:50,719
Speaker 4: nobody's answered this week. So you know the Egles better

117
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 4: than anybody. Why are the Egles not just going to

118
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 4: run them out.

119
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:53,719
Speaker 3: Of the building.

120
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 2: God, it's funny. It's kind of been my themea all

121
00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 2: week long during my local show is how do things change?

122
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 2: How does that basic tenet of running the football change?

123
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 2: And this isn't to say that Sakuon's gonna go for

124
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 2: two fifty five again, but how does it change? And

125
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,479
Speaker 2: I mean I told everybody this week, I'll just quote.

126
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 2: I'll start with Baldy because Baldi and I go over

127
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:25,839
Speaker 2: the tape and everything else, and I say the same

128
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:30,839
Speaker 2: thing to Baldy and Baldi says, well, they Rams have

129
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 2: to get off blocks. And that's true. I saw the

130
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:39,480
Speaker 2: tape from the twenty fourth. I went back and watched it,

131
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 2: and they couldn't get off blocks. There's not really much

132
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 2: that can change because of the physicality of the Eagles

133
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 2: offensive line versus the Rams light D line, which is

134
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 2: really good. Like again, I love the Rams D line

135
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 2: and look what it did to harassed Arnold. I mean,

136
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,360
Speaker 2: it was it was great Monday night, It really was.

137
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 2: The Only problem is this is a horrible matchup for

138
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 2: him because their linebackers are just okay. So it's like,

139
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 2: all right, well, yeah, are they gonna put eight in

140
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 2: the box? Try to get nine the line of scrimmage?

141
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 2: I mean, this isn't the Eagles aren't Michigan, right like

142
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 2: they have AJ Brown and Devontae Smith and Dallas Goddard.

143
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 2: So you if you put eight in the box, all right,

144
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 2: you're gonna man on the outside. The Rams secondary is okay,

145
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 2: it's not great. It's not like you got man to

146
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 2: cover those guys. Say what you want about Hurts. In

147
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 2: the past game, Pittsburgh did the same thing, and he

148
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 2: went up and down the field on them because A. J.

149
00:07:55,920 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 5: Brown's hard to cover. Man the man man, he just is.

150
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 2: And you know, so it's gonna be up to Shula

151
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 2: to kind of call a great game. So when he

152
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 2: does decide to go eight in the box, when he

153
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 2: does decide to try to take Barkley out of the game,

154
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 2: that he's got the right call on. But I've watched

155
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 2: this all year long. I've seen the Eagles. I think

156
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 2: I even probably told you I'd know. I said it

157
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 2: on my local show early in this season. They tried

158
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 2: to throw the ball they tried to be you know,

159
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 2: up and down. It's strike team. And I remember having

160
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 2: a conversation with Syrianne. Second, dude, it's not who you are.

161
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 2: You guys are a downhill running team. You have a

162
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:45,839
Speaker 2: great running back, you have a great offensive line, probably

163
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 2: the best offensive line in football. It's between the Eagles

164
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 2: and the Lions. You have a really good defense, and

165
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 2: so that's your identity. AJ Brown is one of the

166
00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 2: best receivers in the league. Devonte's if is ridiculous as

167
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 2: number two, But that's not who Jalen Hurts is. Hurts

168
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 2: isn't the quarterback that's gonna throw for three hundred. He's

169
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 2: just not that guy. It's not who he is. But

170
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:17,200
Speaker 2: if it's he's a point guard, right, and it's why

171
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 2: they win. He said it a couple times this weekend,

172
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:22,960
Speaker 2: which is, Hey, I'm just gonna do whatever I do

173
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 2: for us to win. It's not about I'm gonna throw

174
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 2: for you know, two fifty two seventy five, three hundred,

175
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:32,200
Speaker 2: it's what am I gonna do to win? Do I

176
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 2: got to make a completion of that. I gotta hit

177
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 2: Aj Brown and I hit god it. Whatever I gotta do.

178
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:39,679
Speaker 2: I mean that's do I gotta run it.

179
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 6: See.

180
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 2: The the other issue that he did, he that he

181
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 2: brings is that he's a plus one in the run game, right,

182
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 2: So the RPO stuff just works. The RPO's stress and defense.

183
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 2: When you have a guy like Hurts who can run

184
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:02,080
Speaker 2: and yeah, like he's not you know some great quarterback

185
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 2: Mahomes or you know Lamar who's got the arm right

186
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,719
Speaker 2: and you know Burrow, that's not who it Hurts is.

187
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 5: But he can.

188
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 2: He can run it and if you go man, he

189
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 2: can beat you down the field, just like the Steelers

190
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 2: did Stills good defense. They they loaded the box to

191
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 2: try to take away Barkley and he beat them. So

192
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:31,199
Speaker 2: I don't know what changes that. I don't think it does.

193
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:36,080
Speaker 2: And I feel for the Rams man the Rams. It's

194
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 2: unfair in many ways that the Rams have to play

195
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 2: this game after the week they had, in the sense

196
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 2: that it's a short week. They go to Arizona on

197
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:53,560
Speaker 2: a Monday night, then go get back to La to

198
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,679
Speaker 2: early Tuesday morning, so they lose a day and a

199
00:10:56,760 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 2: half compared to the Eagles have to fly across else

200
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 2: country today and oh, by the way, it's gonna be

201
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 2: as there's gonna be Stowe tomorrow. You know, they're calling

202
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 2: for three to five inches and it's during the game,

203
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 2: so everything is stacked against them. I you know, God

204
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 2: bless and you know we didn't do our show last

205
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 2: week because of the fires affecting everything, and it was

206
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 2: just awful. And you know, our hearts go out to

207
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 2: everyone in Los Angeles and that entire area and south

208
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:37,200
Speaker 2: of California, and it's an awful situation. I don't know, you know,

209
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 2: we've seen teams get galvanized before, like Saints and Katrina,

210
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 2: but man, it's just so hard. The Fitzy, the Rams

211
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 2: have it all stacked against them.

212
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 4: And that's to me, as much as we love the

213
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 4: concept of, well, you know what, they're just gonna come together,

214
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,440
Speaker 4: the Rams are playing much different than they played before.

215
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 4: In that game, all of these things that we say,

216
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 4: you know, I keep looking back at this, the Rams

217
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 4: in that game were out gained four hundred and eighty

218
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 4: one yards to two hundred and ninety. I mean, is

219
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:15,440
Speaker 4: a that is a yardage slaughter and we just have

220
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:18,319
Speaker 4: to acknowledge that, right like, so that is a yardage

221
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:22,439
Speaker 4: slaughter in a game that Saquon absolutely controlled and by

222
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:24,440
Speaker 4: the way in a game that you know Jalen hurts.

223
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 4: To your point, I think is an important one. Here

224
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 4: he was fifteen to twenty two for Bucks seventy nine

225
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 4: of that. So what you have out of that is, look,

226
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:35,200
Speaker 4: Saquon's running so well that that Jalen's allowed to essentially

227
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 4: be efficient with football A word I used too much

228
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 4: when I describe quarterbacks, but I mean it as a compliment.

229
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,560
Speaker 4: And aj Brown six catches for one hundred and nine yards.

230
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 4: All of that to say that when I look and

231
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 4: I think it's a fair conversation to have about, Okay,

232
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 4: the Ravens blew out the Bills earlier in the season. Okay,

233
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:56,079
Speaker 4: there are answers to here the players that weren't available,

234
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:58,680
Speaker 4: and here's what Buffalo's doing differently now than they did.

235
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 3: Then, and all of these things like those, those answers exist.

236
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:03,319
Speaker 4: So if I need to figure out in my brain,

237
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,560
Speaker 4: well why would it possibly be a different result, I

238
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 4: can do that, you know. But when we're talking about

239
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 4: Philly and the Rams, we're talking about a game from

240
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 4: late November that's not that long ago. We're talking about

241
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 4: a game that was in LA and we're still talking

242
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 4: about a game that was absolute total domination. So I

243
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 4: guess my my thing that I'm yelling from the mountaintops

244
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 4: like an old man right now is like, okay, somebody

245
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 4: tell me why reading a book on the sidelines is

246
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 4: going to actually change the outcome of this game. And

247
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:35,199
Speaker 4: if it's not, I don't believe it, will then shut

248
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 4: up about it.

249
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 3: We'll talk about it in the offseason.

250
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 4: Well, you know, figure out the if AJ Brown doesn't

251
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 4: get the ball quickly, he's going to demand a trade.

252
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 4: We have all all spring to figure out if AJ

253
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:49,840
Speaker 4: Brown's truly happy, We have all spring to figure out

254
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 4: if Nick Sirianni's job is safe, and all these things

255
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 4: that everybody wants to yell about right now, like today,

256
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 4: right now, going into this weekend, I'm just looking at

257
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 4: a Philadelphia Eagles ta much like you know, when we're.

258
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:03,319
Speaker 3: Gonna have the conversation about the Ravens.

259
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:07,359
Speaker 4: I'm looking at a Philadelphia Eagles team that is maximizing

260
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 4: the way that they need to win football games. And

261
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 4: I'm looking at a quarterback in Jalen Hurts that is,

262
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 4: I think, pretty loudly telling us he doesn't give a

263
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:15,680
Speaker 4: damn what any of us think about the way this

264
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:18,720
Speaker 4: offense runs because he knows the most important thing is they're.

265
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 3: Winning football games.

266
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 4: And when we get into this level of the playoffs.

267
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 4: There's something you and I have been screaming all year

268
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 4: in college football and the NFL.

269
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:28,440
Speaker 3: That is true this year. It's not always true, but

270
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 3: it's true this year.

271
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 4: If you can stop the run and you can run

272
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 4: the football, you are going to win more games than

273
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 4: you're gonna lose.

274
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 3: It's that simple.

275
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 4: So in this matchup, who can run and who can

276
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 4: stop it? Shares hell link the Rams stopping that run.

277
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 4: I got a lot of respect for them. Where the

278
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 4: Rams are, they are not in the same universe when

279
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 4: it comes to trying to stop what the Eagles do

280
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 4: on the run game. I just I do not believe

281
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 4: that this is a competitive matchup for the Rams.

282
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 3: And I understand that, you know.

283
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 4: There are a lot of reasons to love what LA

284
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 4: is doing right now, and specifically because of what they've

285
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 4: gone through. It really does become this moment everybody gathers around.

286
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 4: But when the actual game starts, man, I don't know, Like,

287
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 4: I don't think the Eagles will implode the way the

288
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 4: Vikings did. I just I believe that the Eagles are

289
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 4: going to do the simple thing here, which is run

290
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 4: the ball until the Rams force him not to.

291
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 3: And I don't think the Rams can do that.

292
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 4: So for my money, this one is not going to

293
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 4: be a particularly good game.

294
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree with you. I think it's kind of

295
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 2: how it was going to play out. We've been kind

296
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 2: of dissecting this whole thing as to why people feel

297
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 2: this way, right, and so we came to this conclusion. One,

298
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 2: there's the Hurts on the football side of it. There's

299
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 2: the Hurts piece because he's not mahomes Alan Lamar Barrow, right,

300
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 2: so people look at him and go, ah.

301
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 3: You know what's this team?

302
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 2: Like, it's it's.

303
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 5: Not a pretty team, right.

304
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 2: They grind it on the ground and they have a

305
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 2: really good defense. But even their defense isn't sexy, right,

306
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:14,800
Speaker 2: Like they don't have edge monsters right coming off the

307
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 2: edge and sacking a quarterback. They win with this scheme

308
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 2: that keeps everything in front of them, the fansy the

309
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 2: scheme that kind of is that that ben but don't break.

310
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 2: They're really good, Like defensively, they're underrated. They're they're a

311
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 2: top two three defense in the league, and they don't

312
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 2: really have any sack guys off the edge, which is interesting.

313
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 2: Then I think there's a fatigue with them too. I

314
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 2: think there's a national fatigue. I think around the country

315
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 2: people don't like them. They don't like Sirianne because of

316
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 2: his antics, right, and they hate the Eagles fans because

317
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 2: you know, they're obnoxious, right. I could say it because

318
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 2: I'm one of them. There's a bit of a like

319
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 2: obnoxiousness that comes. And when you compare the Eagles to

320
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:15,680
Speaker 2: say the Lions, who are lovable, right, Like, Look, everybody's

321
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 2: gonna root for the Rams because of the obvious. Then

322
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:22,679
Speaker 2: they're gonna root for the Lions or the Commanders, and

323
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:26,120
Speaker 2: then they're gonna root for the Ravens or the Bills

324
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:30,679
Speaker 2: and maybe even the Chiefs. So because I think the

325
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,920
Speaker 2: Eagles are unlikable to the country.

326
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 4: It's interesting that you I agree with a lot of that.

327
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:40,919
Speaker 4: You know the amount of times that we all have

328
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,159
Speaker 4: to hear well, you know they boot Santa Claus like

329
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 4: we all know this that I think it's interesting to

330
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:48,879
Speaker 4: put the Chiefs in there. I think the Chiefs have

331
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:52,359
Speaker 4: become you know, we we love things until we hate them, right,

332
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 4: Like you're the hero until you become the villain. It's

333
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 4: just all everybody's so worn out on the Chiefs. I

334
00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 4: particularly am not. I want to say that loudly like

335
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,719
Speaker 4: the Raiders fan on this show. I'm sitting there saying, man,

336
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:05,360
Speaker 4: I got nothing but respect for it, like the Chiefs,

337
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 4: Like I don't even have resigned a hatred for it

338
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:08,199
Speaker 4: like you do.

339
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:08,880
Speaker 3: Most of the time.

340
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 4: I just look at it and say, hey, this is

341
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 4: one of those moments, like you might as well let

342
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 4: them shine.

343
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 3: Let them shine, because I think Kansas City is just

344
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:18,680
Speaker 3: doing something historic that's impossible to beat.

345
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:21,199
Speaker 4: So you know, I've got I went up when the

346
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 4: number of people that it hit me up, and like,

347
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 4: I really think Detexans are going to be to beat

348
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 4: the Chiefs.

349
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 3: I would love that to happen. I just don't think

350
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:32,400
Speaker 3: it's gonna happen. So I have nothing but respect.

351
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:32,639
Speaker 5: For the Chiefs.

352
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 3: Oh like just just friends, just you know friends that

353
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 3: I've got.

354
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:41,159
Speaker 4: I've got friends that are just convinced that Houston is

355
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 4: gonna be Kansas City.

356
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:43,240
Speaker 3: And we'll get.

357
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:44,960
Speaker 4: Into what we got all morning to get into why

358
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 4: everybody's out on the Chiefs. But I do think it's

359
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 4: interesting because it's pretty clear to me that two of

360
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:54,119
Speaker 4: the best teams remaining, the Chiefs and the Eagles, are

361
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 4: two teams that it feels like generally people are rooting against.

362
00:18:58,080 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 3: At this point.

363
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:01,120
Speaker 4: It's eighties wrestling and they're macho man like they've gone

364
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 4: for being a bad guy to a good guy, back

365
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:05,680
Speaker 4: to a bad guy. So, like, I think it's interesting,

366
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:09,199
Speaker 4: you know, because to me, if you're asking me the

367
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 4: two guys in the playoffs that I'm rooting the hardest for,

368
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:15,280
Speaker 4: just individuals, Derek Henry and Saquon, Like, those are the two.

369
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:17,639
Speaker 3: Those are the two easiest gentlemen left to root for

370
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:19,359
Speaker 3: this entire playoff portion.

371
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:22,480
Speaker 4: But I still think there's a massive people that are

372
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 4: just out on Philly, and I don't think it has

373
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:25,880
Speaker 4: anything to do with football.

374
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 2: It's interesting, Yeah, Now, in fact, I even somebody on

375
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 2: my show brought it up.

376
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:35,160
Speaker 5: One of my guys said, you know, maybe we should

377
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 5: lean in on being the heel, like.

378
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:40,919
Speaker 2: Talk about the wrestling aspect of it, because that's what

379
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 2: it feels like. It feels like, you know, everybody hates you,

380
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 2: so lean into it, right, And this is not to

381
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 2: talk about the the horrific behavior of that Eagle fan

382
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:57,879
Speaker 2: last week who was just vile use vile language against

383
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 2: a Packer fan. He was ultimately his identity was ultimately found,

384
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:07,959
Speaker 2: he was publicly shamed, Big Dom banned him for life,

385
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:11,679
Speaker 2: and he also got in trouble with his job, so

386
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 2: justice was taken. But it was just vile. So when

387
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 2: people be leaning on the heel in a good way,

388
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 2: not in a bad, nasty way. But we'll get into

389
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:25,640
Speaker 2: it all. We're so much each of these four games

390
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:29,479
Speaker 2: to unpack, and of course the National Championship game, so

391
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 2: we will dive into all of it and just kind

392
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 2: of basking the glow of the holy quintet of football

393
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:40,880
Speaker 2: that's happening this weekend. We're the Fellas just getting started

Speaker 2: Fellas Jason Fitz Anthony Gargano playoff.

400
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:04,920
Speaker 5: We will go through each of these games, looking forward

401
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:05,159
Speaker 5: to it.

402
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:09,840
Speaker 2: Getting back to Rams and Eagles since FITZI started with

403
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 2: that one. When you look at it's interesting because you

404
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:23,040
Speaker 2: look at the Eagles and they really are a boring team. Right,

405
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 2: like they run the ball and they play an effective,

406
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 2: boring scheme on defense, but it works right like it works.

407
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:39,639
Speaker 2: They're you know, not great really at anything on that

408
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:44,399
Speaker 2: side of the ball, but they're really good. Jalen Carter

409
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:49,160
Speaker 2: is a beast inside. I think he's gonna again get

410
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:52,119
Speaker 2: to Stafford like he did that Sunday night. And the

411
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 2: Eagles defense changed because Howie Roseman drafted Quinnon Mitchell and

412
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 2: Cooper dejen and and it just locked down the secondary.

413
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 2: Darius Slay's playing really, really well. They signed Zach Bond

414
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:11,520
Speaker 2: from the Saints and people thought that Zach baul was

415
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 2: was going to be an edge guy and Vic Fangio

416
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 2: turned him into a linebacker and has playing ridiculous. He's

417
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 2: been unbelievable. Uh, they're Georgia. They're Georgia players who they drafted.

418
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 2: All the Georgia Dogs have come to fruition. Shavan Wilson,

419
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 2: n Kobe Dean who was playing really well at the

420
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 2: other linebacker spot. But Noel Smith has played really well.

421
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:42,120
Speaker 2: Jalen Carter is an absolute stud. So their defense is

422
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 2: really how they win defense in Barkley FITSI it's boring.

423
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, but here here by the way, real quick and

424
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 4: we got you know, they'll dissect this in the off season,

425
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 4: the drafting and free agency work of Howie Roseman. I mean,

426
00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 4: it's just at some point we need to step back

427
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 4: and sort of tip of the cap here. And it's

428
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 4: something that there are a few organizations that we can

429
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:09,400
Speaker 4: say this about. I want to remind everybody if your

430
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:11,919
Speaker 4: team stinks and you're out of it, like mine, my

431
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 4: favorite team stinks, are out of it. Look at some

432
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 4: of the teams that had become the benchmark for continual

433
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:18,960
Speaker 4: success right now, ask yourself how.

434
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:19,359
Speaker 3: They're doing it.

435
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 4: And I will have made this analogy with you before,

436
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:24,359
Speaker 4: but for anyone that's new to listening, there are a

437
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 4: lot of ways you can lose weight. But if you

438
00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 4: do things the right way, you go, you know, you

439
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 4: do the hard, long haulway that takes a long time,

440
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:34,880
Speaker 4: it typically stays off and suddenly you have a much

441
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 4: better result long term. I only say that because it

442
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:42,199
Speaker 4: relates to the Kansas City Chiefs, the Philadelphia Eagles, the

443
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 4: Detroit Lions.

444
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:46,160
Speaker 3: What are these teams have in common? Goh, they all draft.

445
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 4: Well, you just mentioned how many players the Eagles have drafted.

446
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 4: And look, you're never gonna hit a home run on

447
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:54,199
Speaker 4: all of them. But the success rate of drafting of

448
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:56,920
Speaker 4: bad football teams is pretty staggering. So if you're sitting

449
00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:59,359
Speaker 4: here right now and you're thinking my team stinks, and

450
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 4: what I hope we do is we trade everything to

451
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:03,440
Speaker 4: move up to get this guy, I will remind you

452
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:06,439
Speaker 4: that the true method to success is not trading the

453
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:08,240
Speaker 4: farm to try and go and get one guy. The

454
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:11,160
Speaker 4: true method to success is year in and year out

455
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:13,399
Speaker 4: drafting well and then when you gotta pay guys, you

456
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 4: figure it out. Roseman does a better job than anybody

457
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:19,520
Speaker 4: paying guys early to get ahead of their contracts and

458
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 4: then continually drafting well.

459
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:23,200
Speaker 3: Like it's just the Kansas City.

460
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:26,480
Speaker 4: Chiefs don't miss often in the draft. The Detroit Lions

461
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 4: have built a juggernaut because they've drafted really well the

462
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:32,600
Speaker 4: last several years. I just when you when you started

463
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:35,359
Speaker 4: mentioning those names for Philly, You're right, it's boring, but

464
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:38,680
Speaker 4: also it's homegrown. It's like, you know, it's like making bread.

465
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 4: Everybody got obsessed with making bread during COVID, right, like

466
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 4: part of the process and making like you gotta be patient, right,

467
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 4: you can't rush the process when you're making bread.

468
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:49,160
Speaker 3: And if you do it the right way, God does

469
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 3: it taste good?

470
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 5: Right like that?

471
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:52,560
Speaker 3: That's what Eagles are a reminder of that.

472
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:55,199
Speaker 4: Like you just this is the one Philly team that

473
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:57,719
Speaker 4: you can trust the process with. I'm just saying, like

474
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:00,680
Speaker 4: you just need to we need to step back acknowledge

475
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 4: the process, how he's how he's done with this team.

476
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:06,399
Speaker 4: And by the way, boring football wins in January, we

477
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:07,879
Speaker 4: all know that, like it is going to be so

478
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:11,040
Speaker 4: flipping cold, and weather's going to be an issue everywhere

479
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:13,359
Speaker 4: that I just I just these are the moments I

480
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:15,919
Speaker 4: got to remind everybody boring football wins games.

481
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:19,119
Speaker 2: It's well said, dude, well said. I mean it's true.

482
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:24,480
Speaker 2: You know that it is with wins this kind of football.

483
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:27,879
Speaker 2: And you look at you look at the Patriots during

484
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:34,159
Speaker 2: their dynasty. They weren't sexy at all. They had the

485
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:38,440
Speaker 2: best quarterback in the history of the game, but they

486
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 2: weren't a sexy big strike I mean, you know, I

487
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:50,120
Speaker 2: mean the Cults with Peyton had more sex appeal. Marvin Harrison,

488
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:56,720
Speaker 2: Reggie Wayne right Edgrin, James Peyton, like you know they had.

489
00:25:57,040 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 2: The Patriots were not like Brady all the all of

490
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:04,760
Speaker 2: you except for Randy Moss. He didn't have any these

491
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:09,919
Speaker 2: great stable receivers and these great running backs, you know,

492
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:14,600
Speaker 2: I mean even defensively, very similar to what the Eagles do, right,

493
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:16,919
Speaker 2: Like they'll get in to the quarterback once in a while,

494
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:19,200
Speaker 2: but they just keep everything in front of it and

495
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:20,440
Speaker 2: they'll give up big plays.

496
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:23,000
Speaker 5: That's how the Patriots won for all those years.

497
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, and it's just the problem is that that method.

498
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:29,879
Speaker 3: I don't I shouldn't say the problem, but you know

499
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:30,640
Speaker 3: what I mean by that.

500
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:34,920
Speaker 4: The hard part for fans is that that method takes

501
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:37,480
Speaker 4: years and you wake up one day and you're like, wait,

502
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:40,920
Speaker 4: we do things really well. Like the Lions are the

503
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:43,960
Speaker 4: flagship here that we use as an example. But I

504
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:47,159
Speaker 4: will go back to the Lions, where absolutely one of

505
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:50,120
Speaker 4: the worst run organizations in all of sports until they

506
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:53,400
Speaker 4: hired and they remained patient with an entire regiment, not

507
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:56,480
Speaker 4: just not just Dan Campbell, although Dan Campbell gets a

508
00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:59,040
Speaker 4: ton of the credit, deservedly so, but the Lions did

509
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 4: some really smart thing in their front office.

510
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:03,840
Speaker 3: Brad Holmes, their GM. They essentially went to.

511
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:07,640
Speaker 4: Their office front office restructuring and they said, hey, we're

512
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:10,800
Speaker 4: going to ask our GM only to handle player personnel scouting,

513
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:13,439
Speaker 4: Like we're going to have a whole other division of

514
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:15,680
Speaker 4: the front office that handles how we're going to work

515
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:17,399
Speaker 4: the cap, and a whole nother division that's going to

516
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:19,840
Speaker 4: handle analytics and stuff like that, and we're just gonna

517
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:23,320
Speaker 4: let these guys focus on developing football players and figuring

518
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:25,240
Speaker 4: out where they want their football players to come from.

519
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:28,920
Speaker 3: And that takes a brilliant level of patience. Like the

520
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:31,400
Speaker 3: thing of it is, everybody wants their team to turn around.

521
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:34,119
Speaker 4: I genuinely believe that if you want your team to

522
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:36,440
Speaker 4: be sustainably great, you wake up one.

523
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:38,880
Speaker 3: Day and you're like, holy cow, we actually hit.

524
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:41,639
Speaker 4: We hit on all these drafts, Like the Lions again,

525
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:44,160
Speaker 4: how many times do we trash their draft picks over

526
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:45,120
Speaker 4: the couple last.

527
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:47,600
Speaker 3: Couple of years. It doesn't Jamior Gibbs in the first round.

528
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 4: What are they doing? And it's like, well, you know,

529
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:51,679
Speaker 4: like you shut out all the noise, you take the

530
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:55,360
Speaker 4: best player available over and over and over again. Suddenly

531
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:57,600
Speaker 4: like you become that team that's like, how do they

532
00:27:57,600 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 4: always manage to hit the home run with the twentieth

533
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:01,800
Speaker 4: in the draft and my team can't get it right

534
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 4: with the third like it's just a patient process. And

535
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 4: I think the Eagles are just a spectacular example of

536
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:12,480
Speaker 4: a patient process that has turned them into a consistently

537
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:16,160
Speaker 4: winning football team. And that's man, that's easier said than done.

538
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:19,920
Speaker 4: So I'm you know, I just I look at all

539
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:21,760
Speaker 4: of this with Philly over the course of the weekend

540
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:24,919
Speaker 4: and it's like man teams. Instead of everybody's sitting here

541
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:26,680
Speaker 4: trying to figure out how to rip apart the Eagles,

542
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:28,679
Speaker 4: you should be trying to figure out how to emulate it,

543
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 4: because I mean, they're playing capp economics gymnastics that are enviable.

544
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:35,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, I know it's true.

545
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 2: And when I look at the Rams and trying to think,

546
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 2: all right, so how can the Rams win? So obviously

547
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 2: you have to win turnover battle, and you're gonna have

548
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:51,040
Speaker 2: to have the Eagles turnover a couple of times. And look,

549
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:54,920
Speaker 2: it's gonna be a weather game. So you know, it

550
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:58,800
Speaker 2: always helps the other dog, It always helps. It's always

551
00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:02,920
Speaker 2: the great even or even if you know the Eagles

552
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:04,800
Speaker 2: can run the ball and they're kind of a mutter,

553
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:06,560
Speaker 2: it does work.

554
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:10,560
Speaker 5: But you got to run it with Kyrain Williams.

555
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:14,320
Speaker 2: You're gonna have to win first down and run it

556
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:16,960
Speaker 2: with Karen and then use your play action.

557
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:18,440
Speaker 5: And in the.

558
00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:24,480
Speaker 2: Snow, snow's easier to throw in than rain, and snow

559
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:30,240
Speaker 2: does favor the offense. And that if it's slippery, it's

560
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:33,800
Speaker 2: harder for the defense to stay with the receiver with

561
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:38,480
Speaker 2: a defensive background linebacker because the receiver always is cutting,

562
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 2: so you know, and also it's harder for the defensive

563
00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:48,320
Speaker 2: line to dig in and get pressure because of footing.

564
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:50,640
Speaker 5: So you're so you're.

565
00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:52,280
Speaker 2: You're pass give so you gotta have to run it

566
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:55,880
Speaker 2: with Kyron and then you know, make a couple of

567
00:29:55,920 --> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 2: big plays right booka de Marcus rob it's the shaved cup.

568
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:04,920
Speaker 2: The cup has to be hurt because he doesn't look

569
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:06,120
Speaker 2: like the same receiver.

570
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:12,160
Speaker 4: Is aj I mean going back to the Eagles oiute

571
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:14,240
Speaker 4: of this, because I've heard a couple of people speculate

572
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 4: that aj just hasn't been himself, like is Ajud present

573
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:20,000
Speaker 4: at this point? Like, I think it's interesting how many

574
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:21,719
Speaker 4: receivers are a little banged up.

575
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:22,840
Speaker 3: And I agree with.

576
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:26,960
Speaker 4: You that is a pass, yeah, and it's just more

577
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:28,000
Speaker 4: of than anything, you know.

578
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 3: I just wonder how much that's hindering his production right now.

579
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 3: I think all of that makes a lot.

580
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:38,240
Speaker 4: Of sense for the Rams. It's it's just asking everything

581
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:40,120
Speaker 4: to break right, you know. I feel like the Rams

582
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:42,120
Speaker 4: are also going to have to force a couple of turnovers.

583
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:46,720
Speaker 4: It's just and the Eagles they present such an interest

584
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:50,040
Speaker 4: in this game, particularly because I do believe that they'll

585
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:52,200
Speaker 4: control the line of scrimmage. The hardest part about it

586
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 4: is the Eagles are always a four down team, but

587
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:57,080
Speaker 4: particularly in this game, they're a four down team. So

588
00:30:57,480 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 4: you get the Eagles into fourth and one and four

589
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 4: than too in this game. I just nobody can stop

590
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 4: the brotherly show of anyway, but this game particularly, it

591
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:09,920
Speaker 4: just feels like that's another opportunity for Philly. It's just

592
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:13,120
Speaker 4: I don't think the Rams defense is gonna be able

593
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:15,320
Speaker 4: to match up to stop what Philly's gonna do running

594
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:17,600
Speaker 4: the football, and over the course of the game, that

595
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:20,520
Speaker 4: means long drives, a lot of time.

596
00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 3: Sitting on the sidelines, just getting cold.

597
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:25,080
Speaker 4: Just man, it all sort of stacks up against the

598
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:28,240
Speaker 4: Rams in this I agree with Youfford, Stafford. If there's

599
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:30,800
Speaker 4: any quarterback you think, okay, seeing a lot of football,

600
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:32,960
Speaker 4: this guy, can you know you're not gonna fool him.

601
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:34,920
Speaker 4: He's gonna have a good game. You know, you trust

602
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:36,960
Speaker 4: Stafford's not gonna make a bunch of dumb mistakes.

603
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:39,200
Speaker 3: But man, I find the hard.

604
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:41,400
Speaker 4: I have to put a lot of bricks, the benefit

605
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:42,920
Speaker 4: of the doubt together to find a way for the

606
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:43,920
Speaker 4: Rams to win this game.

607
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:47,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, no, no, I feel you. It's gonna have

608
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:51,200
Speaker 2: to be I'm just looking at the at the forecast

609
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:58,440
Speaker 2: and it looks like somewhere between one to three inches.

610
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:03,080
Speaker 5: Or in the game. So it's going to snow during

611
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:03,560
Speaker 5: the game.

612
00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:11,520
Speaker 2: Attempts about thirty three thirty four degrees, so not overly windy.

613
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:14,560
Speaker 2: The cold is going to come in afterwards. Feels like

614
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:18,800
Speaker 2: a polar vortex is going to hit. So, like, you know,

615
00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:22,560
Speaker 2: thirty four degrees and snowing. Uh, it'll be fun. You'll

616
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:26,600
Speaker 2: be able to see a snow game, so it I mean,

617
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:29,360
Speaker 2: I don't know. I mean maybe that maybe that keeps

618
00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:30,160
Speaker 2: the Rams in the game.

619
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:35,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, do you I feel confident. I think I feel

620
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:38,800
Speaker 4: more confident about Philly than you do. Where like, let's pick,

621
00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 4: I mean I'm picking Philly to roll in this game.

622
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:42,760
Speaker 4: Where you picking Philly? I mean role meaning I think

623
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:44,720
Speaker 4: it's a comfortable win. I don't think it's a plow.

624
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:45,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, but I think it's no.

625
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:48,480
Speaker 2: I am. I just don't want to, you know, trying to.

626
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:51,480
Speaker 2: I don't want to sound like a homer right now.

627
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 3: I'm the I'm the non homer here coming in saying that.

628
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, I know, I think they roll. I do.

629
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:57,320
Speaker 3: I don't.

630
00:32:57,360 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 5: I don't think they lose this game. I don't so.

631
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:02,960
Speaker 2: I mean, I just think the matchups are what they are,

632
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:08,360
Speaker 2: and you know, barring turnovers and something weird, I don't

633
00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:10,680
Speaker 2: think it's closed. I think it's a double digit win.

634
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:14,120
Speaker 2: I think Barkley goes for a buck, you know, fifty

635
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:18,680
Speaker 2: and you know, if they go to Detroit or Washington

636
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:19,960
Speaker 2: or Washington comes there.

637
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:22,320
Speaker 5: I mean, I think that's kind of where they're at.

638
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 2: Let's dive into let's stay and dive into tonight's game.

639
00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:32,120
Speaker 5: We'll start that process. Man, Jayden Daniels.

640
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:36,600
Speaker 2: If there's a scare today, like we said, we don't

641
00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:39,960
Speaker 2: think it's the Rams. I don't think it's the Texans.

642
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:44,000
Speaker 2: I think it's Washington. Let's talk about it where the

643
00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:50,880
Speaker 2: fella is right here, Fox Sports Radio, Fellas Jason Fitz,

644
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:57,640
Speaker 2: Anthony Gargatta. So let me preface as we kick off

645
00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 2: the conversation with Washington and Detroit, I think the Lions

646
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:06,920
Speaker 2: will win. I love the way the Lions are built.

647
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:11,560
Speaker 2: I know there's talk about their defense and how vulnerable

648
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:12,720
Speaker 2: they are and all.

649
00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:14,360
Speaker 5: But you saw them against Minnesota.

650
00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:19,040
Speaker 2: Bow up right, angelone means a lot. Having him back,

651
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:24,239
Speaker 2: so as Zadarius Smith is following getting his footing, who

652
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:27,480
Speaker 2: I think is a really nice player. And I do

653
00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:31,080
Speaker 2: love I love that team. They are. They have the

654
00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:38,040
Speaker 2: perfect offense. All that said, Washington is frightening because they

655
00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:41,560
Speaker 2: do one thing besides the obvious, which is Jayden Daniels,

656
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:47,560
Speaker 2: who is a complete wonder kid. They win first down,

657
00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:51,279
Speaker 2: and if you win first down, you extend drives. And

658
00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:54,319
Speaker 2: if you extend drives, you hold onto the ball. And

659
00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:57,280
Speaker 2: if you do that against Detroit, you got a shot.

660
00:34:57,400 --> 00:34:58,840
Speaker 2: You got a puncher's chance.

661
00:34:59,080 --> 00:34:59,400
Speaker 5: Vinci.

662
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:04,000
Speaker 4: That's an interesting you know, I think part of this

663
00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:08,359
Speaker 4: for me, I was so blown away by the way

664
00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:12,400
Speaker 4: the Lions attacked the Vikings that I think that's the

665
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:15,080
Speaker 4: moment that Aaron Glenn went from being a start of

666
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:18,799
Speaker 4: superstar coordinator. I think the way that they sort of

667
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:20,719
Speaker 4: they put it on film, and I know it was

668
00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:24,719
Speaker 4: different in the playoff matchup, but still they got after

669
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:27,239
Speaker 4: the Vikings in ways that I didn't expect, right, And

670
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:29,759
Speaker 4: so what I keep thinking about in this game is,

671
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:32,719
Speaker 4: even though Jaden Daniels has been so superhuman, and I

672
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:35,960
Speaker 4: think that's fair, what can they do to trick him?

673
00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:37,960
Speaker 4: You know, what can they do to confuse him with

674
00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:39,800
Speaker 4: the line of scrimmage? And maybe the answer is nothing.

675
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:43,520
Speaker 4: And if that's the case, you know, this version of

676
00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:45,920
Speaker 4: Jayden Daniels is absolutely unflappable.

677
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:46,600
Speaker 3: We all know that.

678
00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:49,319
Speaker 4: I think enough has been made of But it's a

679
00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:51,799
Speaker 4: good point that when they won the last game in

680
00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:54,200
Speaker 4: the playoffs, it just felt like Jaden was just another

681
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:56,600
Speaker 4: day walking off the field, Like I think that's part of.

682
00:35:56,640 --> 00:35:58,040
Speaker 3: His charm as a quarterback.

683
00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:01,880
Speaker 4: I just wonder if as much as the Lions defense

684
00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:04,239
Speaker 4: has just been decimated by injuries, and you're right to

685
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:08,759
Speaker 4: obviously get much better, but you have to feel like

686
00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:10,600
Speaker 4: the Commanders are going to be able to move the

687
00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:13,799
Speaker 4: football on them, right, so they should be able to

688
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:16,959
Speaker 4: move the football on them. So this one's interesting because

689
00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:20,440
Speaker 4: I think the Lions are gonna win. I think, honestly,

690
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:22,880
Speaker 4: the Lions win again pretty comfortably. I don't think that

691
00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:24,760
Speaker 4: this is going to come down to the last possession.

692
00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:26,880
Speaker 4: But I do think this ends up being sort of

693
00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:29,600
Speaker 4: video game football, And you're right, the best way to

694
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:31,719
Speaker 4: try and slow the Lions down is just to keep

695
00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:35,160
Speaker 4: them off the field. That'll be really interesting. This is

696
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:37,680
Speaker 4: such a great moment, and I do mean great, like

697
00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:39,800
Speaker 4: I don't think there's any like weird pressure or anything

698
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:43,879
Speaker 4: like for Jayden and Washington to be accomplishing what they're accomplishing.

699
00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:46,520
Speaker 4: I still think we need to step back and acknowledge

700
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:49,600
Speaker 4: that it is pretty stunning to see what they're doing

701
00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:52,239
Speaker 4: right now and how far ahead they are even of

702
00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:54,520
Speaker 4: where their roster should put them. This just feels like

703
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:56,280
Speaker 4: a magical year for Washington.

704
00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:03,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, it really does. And look, I thought Todd Bowles,

705
00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:09,320
Speaker 2: who's a terrific defensive coach, would be able to confuse

706
00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:11,120
Speaker 2: Daniels and he did.

707
00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:12,200
Speaker 3: That's really fair.

708
00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:15,319
Speaker 5: You know, he wasn't able to do it.

709
00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:21,759
Speaker 2: You know, they're really well coached too, on both sides

710
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:24,719
Speaker 2: of the ball. For you know, for the entire season,

711
00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:27,480
Speaker 2: they're a great story. I don't think they're ready to win,

712
00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:31,040
Speaker 2: and I still don't think they're ready to go into Detroit,

713
00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:34,920
Speaker 2: you know, and win in that atmosphere and the only thing.

714
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:39,480
Speaker 5: The pathway is hey.

715
00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:43,960
Speaker 2: Go in like neither team's gonna punt, right like, so

716
00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:47,719
Speaker 2: you know Watson's not gonna punt, and it's to hold

717
00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:49,480
Speaker 2: on the ball. They held on a little ball for

718
00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:55,240
Speaker 2: eleven more minutes against Tampa. They won first down against Tampa,

719
00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:57,280
Speaker 2: and so they were and therefore they held on little

720
00:37:57,280 --> 00:38:00,680
Speaker 2: football had eleven minute time of of the days. Now

721
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:03,319
Speaker 2: the Lions hold on lit the ball too. But what

722
00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:05,799
Speaker 2: you want to do is you just want to keep

723
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:10,279
Speaker 2: the game close. If you're Washington, just keeping a one

724
00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:15,200
Speaker 2: score game, because Daniels is money at the end of

725
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:19,799
Speaker 2: these games. Jane Daniels a stone winner, right, He's a

726
00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:22,759
Speaker 2: kid that just knows how to ball out and the

727
00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:24,760
Speaker 2: games and make magic.

728
00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:28,160
Speaker 5: And I could totally see them staying in it.

729
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:30,279
Speaker 3: And here's the thing.

730
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:35,239
Speaker 2: You want to stress Detroit and force them right to

731
00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:39,160
Speaker 2: score touchdowns like we saw that. How that once in

732
00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:41,200
Speaker 2: a while that bites them right, Like they go for

733
00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:44,360
Speaker 2: it all the time, but sometimes it can bite them.

734
00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:48,080
Speaker 2: And if you don't get seven and you come away

735
00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:52,759
Speaker 2: with an empty possession, what does that do to the favorite?

736
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:57,880
Speaker 3: Let me add one quick thing to everything. You just said.

737
00:38:58,320 --> 00:38:59,880
Speaker 4: Part of the reason I think end of the game

738
00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:03,600
Speaker 4: Jayden unflappable in this game is as much as.

739
00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:05,640
Speaker 3: We are making of the Detroit home environment. I think

740
00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:06,560
Speaker 3: that is spectacular.

741
00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:09,960
Speaker 4: Yes, let's not get it twisted like Jaden is played

742
00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:13,600
Speaker 4: in wild sec environments. I do think for some guys

743
00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:16,400
Speaker 4: that makes a difference, especially at the quarterback position. Controlling

744
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:19,359
Speaker 4: your your adrenaline and a home or in an away

745
00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:20,480
Speaker 4: environment is much.

746
00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:22,839
Speaker 3: Easier when you're used to that on a Saturday night.

747
00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:28,800
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, Saturday night in a raucous environment

748
00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:29,680
Speaker 2: is not new.

749
00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:33,680
Speaker 5: That's a great point, FITSI it's a great point. All right,

750
00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:36,440

00:40:57,080 --> 00:41:03,319
Speaker 2: But big picture, which which aspect of these games are

770
00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:06,280
Speaker 2: you looking forward to the most?

771
00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:12,720
Speaker 4: I mean across the I mean the matchup. The best

772
00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:16,040
Speaker 4: matchup is, you know, the MVP matchup. But I think

773
00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:19,239
Speaker 4: and that's and I keep saying the MVP matchup. I

774
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:20,960
Speaker 4: might as well up the band aid off on this.

775
00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:24,120
Speaker 4: I don't think that the Ravens Bills is really about

776
00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:27,239
Speaker 4: Lamar versus Josh Allen. I think the Ravens Bills is

777
00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:30,920
Speaker 4: really about Derrick, Henry and Cook. Like my question is

778
00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:32,960
Speaker 4: which of those two running backs is going to go

779
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:35,560
Speaker 4: off more? And I just I constantly tell my buddies

780
00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:37,880
Speaker 4: the same thing. Whenever you think about like, just walk

781
00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:40,600
Speaker 4: outside when it's freezing cold. You know you and I

782
00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:42,680
Speaker 4: both live up in New England, right, like, so, walk

783
00:41:42,719 --> 00:41:46,640
Speaker 4: outside when it's two degrees outside, and then just have

784
00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:49,560
Speaker 4: one of your buddies stand across from you and have

785
00:41:49,640 --> 00:41:52,080
Speaker 4: them just slapping in the face as hard as they can.

786
00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:54,560
Speaker 4: And then wait about two minutes and get slapped in

787
00:41:54,560 --> 00:41:56,400
Speaker 4: the face as hard as you can again, and just

788
00:41:56,440 --> 00:41:57,839
Speaker 4: see how the collective just.

789
00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:01,400
Speaker 3: Pain adds up. When you talk about the fact.

790
00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:03,560
Speaker 4: To me that it's gonna be a wind chill, I

791
00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:05,160
Speaker 4: don't know why we now say body feel.

792
00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:06,959
Speaker 3: It kind of feels gross that way. A wind chill

793
00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:08,480
Speaker 3: of negative three.

794
00:42:08,719 --> 00:42:11,319
Speaker 4: I saw yesterday they were reporting for this game a

795
00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:13,759
Speaker 4: wind chill of negative three, and you got to go up.

796
00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:16,360
Speaker 3: With all your might and you got to hit Derrick Henry.

797
00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:19,959
Speaker 4: I just don't know how any human being hits Derrick

798
00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:23,000
Speaker 4: Henry and then comes back for it over and over

799
00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:26,399
Speaker 4: and over again. If I'm the Ravens, I will take

800
00:42:26,520 --> 00:42:28,840
Speaker 4: all of those three yard runs in the first quarter

801
00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:31,680
Speaker 4: and the second quarter, I'll take all of that cold,

802
00:42:31,719 --> 00:42:34,760
Speaker 4: obnoxious you know, we're not really moving the ball, because

803
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:36,600
Speaker 4: in the third quarter, when you start to wear down,

804
00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:37,680
Speaker 4: those three yard runs.

805
00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:39,320
Speaker 3: Are gonna become thirteen yard runs.

806
00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:42,280
Speaker 4: I just I think the difference on this this is

807
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:45,000
Speaker 4: as much as we're all going to be hyping Lamar

808
00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:45,760
Speaker 4: and Josh Allen.

809
00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:48,879
Speaker 3: I think they both play fine, that's fine, this game

810
00:42:48,920 --> 00:42:49,319
Speaker 3: gets one.

811
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:52,759
Speaker 4: To me, if Derrick, Henry or Cook, either one is

812
00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:54,400
Speaker 4: really able to control the game.

813
00:42:54,560 --> 00:42:56,520
Speaker 3: And that, to me is the most interesting thing we're

814
00:42:56,520 --> 00:42:57,080
Speaker 3: going to see.

815
00:42:57,160 --> 00:43:00,279
Speaker 4: The fact that two MVP finalists, two MVP one the

816
00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:02,919
Speaker 4: candidates that I think should split the NBB this year

817
00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:05,359
Speaker 4: are really not the difference makers for their team.

818
00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:07,800
Speaker 3: It's the running backs. To me, I think is wildly interesting.

819
00:43:09,160 --> 00:43:14,560
Speaker 2: Really, that's fascinating because here's the uh, here's the only

820
00:43:14,640 --> 00:43:24,879
Speaker 2: thing Henry is to me as effective because of Lamar, Right,

821
00:43:25,200 --> 00:43:29,680
Speaker 2: Lamar's ability in the run game like we saw last week,

822
00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:32,799
Speaker 2: or obviously he's a thrower, just makes Henry that much

823
00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:36,000
Speaker 2: more dangerous. And then on the other way, I think

824
00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:39,200
Speaker 2: it's all Alan. I think less Cook more Alan, because

825
00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:43,319
Speaker 2: I could see Alan running the ball a ton I

826
00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:47,360
Speaker 2: saw as over under was like forty six yards. I

827
00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:52,359
Speaker 2: would scream over on that. I would scream over on that.

828
00:43:54,640 --> 00:43:56,760
Speaker 2: But I mean, Lessen, You're not wrong obviously about Henry

829
00:43:56,800 --> 00:43:59,320
Speaker 2: in all and Cook to some extent.

830
00:43:59,560 --> 00:44:05,120
Speaker 4: I just now Josh Allen the I'll acquiesce that that

831
00:44:05,600 --> 00:44:07,640
Speaker 4: you make a good point that Josh Allen's legs are

832
00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:09,120
Speaker 4: going to be a big part of it too.

833
00:44:09,680 --> 00:44:12,000
Speaker 3: I just think that we need to and you're a

834
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:12,799
Speaker 3: thousand percent right.

835
00:44:12,880 --> 00:44:15,920
Speaker 4: Look, I don't think Derrick Henry would be having the

836
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:20,600
Speaker 4: year he's having necessarily in another offense. I also don't

837
00:44:20,600 --> 00:44:23,120
Speaker 4: think that I think it was a perfect marriage for

838
00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:25,520
Speaker 4: Derrick Henry and for the Ravens. I still think it

839
00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:27,560
Speaker 4: was asininm for the Titans to let him walk out

840
00:44:27,600 --> 00:44:32,480
Speaker 4: the door, but the Ravens, particularly presuming that Todd Munkin

841
00:44:32,560 --> 00:44:34,640
Speaker 4: can you know, call the game that he needs to

842
00:44:34,680 --> 00:44:37,279
Speaker 4: call on this, I agree with you that Lamar is

843
00:44:37,320 --> 00:44:39,279
Speaker 4: part of the reason that Derrick Henry is successful. But

844
00:44:39,360 --> 00:44:41,680
Speaker 4: I also like, I think the Ravens can win this

845
00:44:41,760 --> 00:44:44,120
Speaker 4: game with Lamar throw in thirteen passes.

846
00:44:44,719 --> 00:44:46,359
Speaker 3: I have no doubt in my mind that they can.

847
00:44:46,280 --> 00:44:49,080
Speaker 4: Turn around and win this game if Lamar barely uses

848
00:44:49,120 --> 00:44:52,040
Speaker 4: his arm at all. And you're right, Josh Allen will

849
00:44:52,040 --> 00:44:55,000
Speaker 4: be expected to run the football. The part of the

850
00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:57,200
Speaker 4: reason I like the Ravens in this game is I

851
00:44:57,400 --> 00:45:00,920
Speaker 4: just I think this is just an obnoxious, slobber knocker

852
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:04,640
Speaker 4: of a game where both teams are just absolutely trying

853
00:45:04,640 --> 00:45:06,919
Speaker 4: to annihilate the other physically and over the course of time.

854
00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:08,759
Speaker 4: Because of the size of Derek Henry. I just think

855
00:45:08,800 --> 00:45:11,200
Speaker 4: that that's the difference on it. So, yeah, you're right,

856
00:45:11,239 --> 00:45:13,719
Speaker 4: there are reasons why these backs have to be or

857
00:45:13,760 --> 00:45:16,560
Speaker 4: these running games have to be successful, and the quarterbacks

858
00:45:16,560 --> 00:45:19,359
Speaker 4: are part of it. But if the concept is man,

859
00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:21,640
Speaker 4: Josh Allen is going to drop back and go, you know,

860
00:45:22,160 --> 00:45:25,240
Speaker 4: twenty five or thirty two for three hundred and twenty.

861
00:45:25,040 --> 00:45:26,879
Speaker 3: Yards, Like, that's just not this kind of game. That's

862
00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:28,000
Speaker 3: just not you know this.

863
00:45:28,200 --> 00:45:32,640
Speaker 4: No, this to me is possession by possession, just surviving

864
00:45:32,680 --> 00:45:36,120
Speaker 4: the field, flipping the field when you can, and just

865
00:45:36,560 --> 00:45:39,000
Speaker 4: knocking the other team out eventually, And that to me

866
00:45:39,120 --> 00:45:40,040
Speaker 4: is the key on this one.

867
00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:42,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, no, Without that, we'll dive into it a

868
00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:46,239
Speaker 2: little further. Coming up, Let's let's kind of put the

869
00:45:46,280 --> 00:45:52,000
Speaker 2: bed the Lions and Washington because this game, this game

870
00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:56,680
Speaker 2: is fascinating. Man, when little Lions get stretched, like, at

871
00:45:56,719 --> 00:46:00,439
Speaker 2: what point tonight because I don't think it's a route,

872
00:46:00,480 --> 00:46:03,920
Speaker 2: So at some point tonight there's gonna be a stress

873
00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:07,640
Speaker 2: moment and they're.

874
00:46:06,360 --> 00:46:07,680
Speaker 5: Gonna have to score.

875
00:46:07,800 --> 00:46:12,120
Speaker 2: Now, Montgomery coming back, huge practice all week without a designation.

876
00:46:13,239 --> 00:46:16,200
Speaker 5: That offense is just ridiculous.

877
00:46:16,280 --> 00:46:21,400
Speaker 2: It's the perfect offense, great offensive line, great skill people,

878
00:46:22,239 --> 00:46:26,839
Speaker 2: and as plucky as Washington's defense has been.

879
00:46:27,760 --> 00:46:29,760
Speaker 5: You know, they ain't stop in the Lions.

880
00:46:30,200 --> 00:46:34,319
Speaker 2: They gotta hope for a couple of maybe one or

881
00:46:34,360 --> 00:46:38,359
Speaker 2: two of those stops fourth down long drives. I think

882
00:46:38,400 --> 00:46:42,080
Speaker 2: the game's gonna come down to the clock, right The

883
00:46:42,160 --> 00:46:46,799
Speaker 2: one thing the Lions can do is shortened. They can

884
00:46:46,840 --> 00:46:48,960
Speaker 2: mess with the clock the way you mess with the

885
00:46:48,960 --> 00:46:55,480
Speaker 2: clock playing Madden. Because they have such an incredible offense,

886
00:46:55,640 --> 00:46:58,880
Speaker 2: great play caller in Ben Johnson, and the fact that

887
00:46:58,880 --> 00:47:02,360
Speaker 2: they can run it throw, they can manipulate the clock.

888
00:47:03,280 --> 00:47:06,280
Speaker 2: But if I'm them, I don't want to shorten the game.

889
00:47:07,760 --> 00:47:10,319
Speaker 2: I want eleven possessions, not eight.

890
00:47:10,560 --> 00:47:10,960
Speaker 5: FITCI.

891
00:47:13,360 --> 00:47:17,640
Speaker 4: I mean that's interesting in the sense that look, I

892
00:47:17,640 --> 00:47:20,839
Speaker 4: think David Montgomery coming back kind of stunned me.

893
00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:24,319
Speaker 3: Did these back so quickly? I honestly somed me to

894
00:47:24,360 --> 00:47:25,160
Speaker 3: hear that news.

895
00:47:25,239 --> 00:47:27,239
Speaker 4: And I don't believe they'd be putting them on the

896
00:47:27,239 --> 00:47:29,799
Speaker 4: field unless they were confident they could actually utilize them.

897
00:47:29,880 --> 00:47:33,759
Speaker 4: So it is, it's gonna be fun to watch what

898
00:47:33,800 --> 00:47:37,120
Speaker 4: Ben Johnson, my future head coach, turns around, and it

899
00:47:37,120 --> 00:47:40,239
Speaker 4: does with these running backs. Now that Montgomery's back, I

900
00:47:40,239 --> 00:47:43,280
Speaker 4: think I expected their offense to take a much bigger

901
00:47:43,560 --> 00:47:46,600
Speaker 4: dip with him out, and instead, Jamiir Gibbs just sort

902
00:47:46,600 --> 00:47:48,600
Speaker 4: of showed the world, hey, I can I can do

903
00:47:48,760 --> 00:47:50,839
Speaker 4: more when I need to do more. I think that's

904
00:47:51,480 --> 00:47:54,000
Speaker 4: kind of stunning moment for Jamiir Gibbs as.

905
00:47:53,840 --> 00:47:59,240
Speaker 3: He cements himself as a superstar. It's it's interesting.

906
00:47:58,840 --> 00:48:02,799
Speaker 4: Because they're There's so much explosiveness for the Lions. There's

907
00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:05,520
Speaker 4: so much ability for the Lions, Like whatever you decide

908
00:48:05,520 --> 00:48:06,480
Speaker 4: to take away, they beat.

909
00:48:06,360 --> 00:48:07,239
Speaker 3: You another way, you know.

910
00:48:07,320 --> 00:48:09,839
Speaker 4: And that's the biggest thing to me that we've seen

911
00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:11,960
Speaker 4: this year that keeps in my mind in the playoffs

912
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:14,759
Speaker 4: is that the Lions can survive a terrible day from

913
00:48:14,760 --> 00:48:15,920
Speaker 4: golf because they've done it.

914
00:48:16,080 --> 00:48:16,319
Speaker 3: You know.

915
00:48:16,440 --> 00:48:19,680
Speaker 4: They can survive a five interception day and still get

916
00:48:19,719 --> 00:48:22,360
Speaker 4: a win from golf because they've done it. So, you know,

917
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:25,279
Speaker 4: I think what makes the Lions interesting is that when

918
00:48:25,360 --> 00:48:28,000
Speaker 4: one element of their offense is wildly off, they can

919
00:48:28,040 --> 00:48:31,200
Speaker 4: beat you with another element of their offense. The Commanders

920
00:48:31,239 --> 00:48:33,759
Speaker 4: are a team you can run on so I love

921
00:48:33,800 --> 00:48:37,920
Speaker 4: the idea of, you know, just trying to force them

922
00:48:37,960 --> 00:48:41,000
Speaker 4: to figure out how to stop that. Man, I feel

923
00:48:41,040 --> 00:48:43,440
Speaker 4: like this this game turns it. This is a comfortable win.

924
00:48:43,480 --> 00:48:44,920
Speaker 4: To me, I'm the one person in the world I

925
00:48:44,920 --> 00:48:47,160
Speaker 4: think that feels like as great as the story is

926
00:48:47,200 --> 00:48:50,879
Speaker 4: for the Commanders, I can easily see the Lions going

927
00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:53,400
Speaker 4: up by seventeen early in the second half of just

928
00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:54,480
Speaker 4: coasting their way to a win.

929
00:48:55,600 --> 00:48:57,600
Speaker 5: So you're same route.

930
00:48:57,840 --> 00:49:02,520
Speaker 4: That's interesting, that comfortable, like, you know, not a beer

931
00:49:02,600 --> 00:49:05,800
Speaker 4: game necessarily, but never like in the fourth quarter, I'm sure.

932
00:49:05,640 --> 00:49:08,080
Speaker 3: They'll be like, well, Jayden Daniels, you always got a chance.

933
00:49:08,120 --> 00:49:10,000
Speaker 4: Like it's one of those games where it's like it's

934
00:49:10,040 --> 00:49:11,000
Speaker 4: not really in question.

935
00:49:11,440 --> 00:49:12,520
Speaker 5: You're taking question.

936
00:49:12,719 --> 00:49:15,439
Speaker 2: I'm I'm glad you're taking this because I need you

937
00:49:16,760 --> 00:49:22,279
Speaker 2: to tell me to reconcile how it's not goes like this.

938
00:49:22,400 --> 00:49:25,319
Speaker 2: And I want to get the I'm calling up the

939
00:49:25,360 --> 00:49:30,640
Speaker 2: play sheet from last week and this was.

940
00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:37,040
Speaker 5: This was last week against.

941
00:49:37,520 --> 00:49:39,400
Speaker 2: I want to I want I want to go through

942
00:49:39,480 --> 00:49:47,160
Speaker 2: the game, uh, last week against Tampa. All right, here

943
00:49:47,160 --> 00:49:50,440
Speaker 2: are the here's the drives. And this is my fear

944
00:49:51,080 --> 00:49:56,640
Speaker 2: for Detroit is that Washington can have these long drives right,

945
00:49:57,400 --> 00:50:01,640
Speaker 2: seven plays, this is their drive chart.

946
00:50:01,960 --> 00:50:06,320
Speaker 5: Seven plays they take three forty nine.

947
00:50:06,160 --> 00:50:13,960
Speaker 2: Off the clock, seventeen plays ninety two yards nine minutes

948
00:50:14,440 --> 00:50:20,560
Speaker 2: off the clock. Eleven plays thirty seven yards five and

949
00:50:20,600 --> 00:50:24,520
Speaker 2: a half minutes off the clock. Now you know, one

950
00:50:24,600 --> 00:50:27,600
Speaker 2: was a touchdown, one was a field goal. So all

951
00:50:27,640 --> 00:50:30,920
Speaker 2: of a sudden, you know how many drives in the

952
00:50:30,960 --> 00:50:38,040
Speaker 2: first half. So Tampa got the kickoff, had one, two, three,

953
00:50:38,200 --> 00:50:44,600
Speaker 2: four possessions four that's it. Then they come back again

954
00:50:44,760 --> 00:50:47,800
Speaker 2: another ten play drive to open up the second half.

955
00:50:48,320 --> 00:50:53,319
Speaker 2: Then a twelve play drive that ended in with no points.

956
00:50:54,120 --> 00:50:56,280
Speaker 5: Then they score quickly.

957
00:50:56,000 --> 00:50:57,919
Speaker 2: At the end of the game, and then and then

958
00:50:58,520 --> 00:51:02,279
Speaker 2: to end the game, another and play drive that ends

959
00:51:02,320 --> 00:51:06,840
Speaker 2: it and they kick the winning field goal. That's my

960
00:51:07,040 --> 00:51:12,600
Speaker 2: fear for the Lions is that double digit plays plays

961
00:51:13,280 --> 00:51:14,320
Speaker 2: that blee clock.

962
00:51:14,880 --> 00:51:17,920
Speaker 3: I hear that, I honestly do. I hear that a lot.

963
00:51:18,040 --> 00:51:20,239
Speaker 4: I think you just look at the fact that the

964
00:51:20,280 --> 00:51:22,880
Speaker 4: Lions love the Blitz and you don't blitch Jayden and Daniels.

965
00:51:22,960 --> 00:51:26,080
Speaker 4: I feel like this game will you don't blitch Jadon

966
00:51:26,120 --> 00:51:28,680
Speaker 4: Daniels Because for anyone that hasn't seen his numbers this year,

967
00:51:28,800 --> 00:51:33,960
Speaker 4: or porderline historic for rookies facing the blitz, rookie quarterbacks

968
00:51:34,000 --> 00:51:36,240
Speaker 4: facing and blitz. But I don't think the Lions suddenly

969
00:51:36,280 --> 00:51:38,800
Speaker 4: Aaron Glen's going to come in and change the identity

970
00:51:38,880 --> 00:51:41,160
Speaker 4: what they do. So to me as much as I

971
00:51:41,280 --> 00:51:44,879
Speaker 4: hear okay, yeah, they can just try and bleed the clock. Man,

972
00:51:44,920 --> 00:51:47,360
Speaker 4: that's going to require a ton of patients from a quarterback.

973
00:51:47,680 --> 00:51:49,960
Speaker 4: And I know Kingsbury will be in his ear. But man,

974
00:51:50,280 --> 00:51:52,759
Speaker 4: it feels like the opportunities for the Commanders are going

975
00:51:52,840 --> 00:51:55,080
Speaker 4: to be I mean, I think Scary Terry can have

976
00:51:55,120 --> 00:51:57,200
Speaker 4: a heck of a game here, Like I think he

977
00:51:57,200 --> 00:52:00,400
Speaker 4: can find himself over and over and over again with

978
00:52:00,480 --> 00:52:02,200
Speaker 4: a tantalizing.

979
00:52:01,800 --> 00:52:03,120
Speaker 3: You know, opportunity.

980
00:52:03,200 --> 00:52:05,520
Speaker 4: So I think there's gonna be big plays for for

981
00:52:05,719 --> 00:52:07,920
Speaker 4: Washington and this against Detroit, do you not. I mean

982
00:52:07,960 --> 00:52:11,000
Speaker 4: that's just that part of this, like don't pick up

983
00:52:11,040 --> 00:52:11,399
Speaker 4: the chunk.

984
00:52:11,560 --> 00:52:13,840
Speaker 5: But I think they're still I think they'll be big plays.

985
00:52:13,880 --> 00:52:16,480
Speaker 2: But I think they're gonna do exactly what they did

986
00:52:16,560 --> 00:52:20,480
Speaker 2: last week, which is try to win first down.

987
00:52:22,239 --> 00:52:24,880
Speaker 5: Skill six yards.

988
00:52:24,680 --> 00:52:27,320
Speaker 2: And then Daniels with a quick scamper Daniels out that

989
00:52:27,480 --> 00:52:32,759
Speaker 2: zach Ertz, you know Daniels to Eckler right out of

990
00:52:32,800 --> 00:52:36,040
Speaker 2: the backfield. I think that's how they're gonna win it.

991
00:52:36,560 --> 00:52:39,640
Speaker 2: I think the only their only path to victory or

992
00:52:40,440 --> 00:52:44,200
Speaker 2: is to be in the game. To start this cliche,

993
00:52:44,320 --> 00:52:46,600
Speaker 2: but it's true. To be in the game in the

994
00:52:46,600 --> 00:52:50,839
Speaker 2: fourth quarter and again they can limit possessions. I don't

995
00:52:50,880 --> 00:52:54,880
Speaker 2: know that the Lions defense is built to stop that.

996
00:52:57,440 --> 00:53:01,879
Speaker 4: The Lions defense is not built to stop grind it out.

997
00:53:02,239 --> 00:53:05,600
Speaker 4: I mean the Lion's defense is. I say this carefully

998
00:53:05,600 --> 00:53:07,640
Speaker 4: because I think the Lions are one of the two

999
00:53:07,719 --> 00:53:10,719
Speaker 4: best teams in the NFL right now, but their defense

1000
00:53:11,360 --> 00:53:13,600
Speaker 4: has been all year sort of a house of cards

1001
00:53:13,640 --> 00:53:18,200
Speaker 4: because of the injuries that they've faced, and certainly early on,

1002
00:53:18,320 --> 00:53:21,359
Speaker 4: it always felt like their method to success was We're

1003
00:53:21,360 --> 00:53:24,319
Speaker 4: gonna just absolutely destroy a quarterback and that will save

1004
00:53:24,360 --> 00:53:26,319
Speaker 4: the back end of our defense from being exposed at

1005
00:53:26,320 --> 00:53:28,919
Speaker 4: times things like that. While they sort of grow there

1006
00:53:29,080 --> 00:53:32,640
Speaker 4: with some youth and now, I don't love the fact

1007
00:53:32,680 --> 00:53:37,160
Speaker 4: that obviously without the same without Aiden Hutchinson, who even

1008
00:53:37,280 --> 00:53:39,520
Speaker 4: after missing so much of the season was still among

1009
00:53:39,560 --> 00:53:42,640
Speaker 4: the leaders in every pressure set.

1010
00:53:42,680 --> 00:53:47,640
Speaker 2: Alee McNeil in the middle of that defensive front Malcolm

1011
00:53:47,760 --> 00:53:52,319
Speaker 2: Rodrigez ad one linebacker spot, Carlton Davis in the secondary.

1012
00:53:52,440 --> 00:53:56,880
Speaker 2: I mean, they got riddled, and luckily they're gonna have

1013
00:53:56,920 --> 00:53:57,759
Speaker 2: Angeloni back.

1014
00:53:58,040 --> 00:54:01,600
Speaker 4: You know, They're at a spot now where I'm just

1015
00:54:02,200 --> 00:54:05,080
Speaker 4: the nightmare in my mind is seeing Terry and Arnold,

1016
00:54:05,120 --> 00:54:08,719
Speaker 4: their rookie corner having to actually like, I mean, that's

1017
00:54:08,760 --> 00:54:11,560
Speaker 4: all he does is just grab, grab, grab, grab grab. No,

1018
00:54:11,840 --> 00:54:14,279
Speaker 4: it sounds like I'm being particularly harsh, but he's had

1019
00:54:14,280 --> 00:54:18,040
Speaker 4: a rough rookie year on penalties and just don't getting beat.

1020
00:54:18,160 --> 00:54:21,120
Speaker 3: So you know, how do they mask that deficiency? I

1021
00:54:21,520 --> 00:54:22,000
Speaker 3: don't know.

1022
00:54:22,280 --> 00:54:25,040
Speaker 4: You know, so you make a good point. Maybe maybe

1023
00:54:25,120 --> 00:54:27,120
Speaker 4: Washington didn't just grinding this thing down.

1024
00:54:26,960 --> 00:54:27,719
Speaker 3: To a halt.

1025
00:54:28,239 --> 00:54:31,160
Speaker 4: But the other side of it is, even if the

1026
00:54:31,200 --> 00:54:33,480
Speaker 4: Lions barely have the ball, they're gonna move it. Like,

1027
00:54:33,880 --> 00:54:36,959
Speaker 4: I don't see how Washington's defense is going to slow

1028
00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:40,239
Speaker 4: the Lions down. So maybe to your point, that means that,

1029
00:54:40,760 --> 00:54:43,239
Speaker 4: you know, long drive quick score, long drive quick score,

1030
00:54:43,280 --> 00:54:47,239
Speaker 4: long drive quick score still plays to the favor of

1031
00:54:47,239 --> 00:54:49,080
Speaker 4: the commanders if they can limit the possessions.

1032
00:54:49,080 --> 00:54:53,120
Speaker 2: I just man, Yeah, And here's the thing I'm with you, Like,

1033
00:54:53,160 --> 00:54:56,840
Speaker 2: I think the one I love the Lions offense. My

1034
00:54:56,920 --> 00:55:00,400
Speaker 2: only fear for the Lions is you're forced to score

1035
00:55:00,520 --> 00:55:05,560
Speaker 2: quickly because Washington's bleeding ball, right, and you know how

1036
00:55:05,560 --> 00:55:10,200
Speaker 2: it works. All it takes is one fourth down stop

1037
00:55:10,520 --> 00:55:14,399
Speaker 2: and then momentum is a real thing. One fourth down

1038
00:55:14,440 --> 00:55:19,400
Speaker 2: stop and all of a sudden, the building feels it,

1039
00:55:19,600 --> 00:55:23,319
Speaker 2: everyone feels it, and there is a stress on the

1040
00:55:23,400 --> 00:55:27,080
Speaker 2: Lions to score every play.

1041
00:55:28,640 --> 00:55:30,480
Speaker 5: Right, It's just one fourth down stop.

1042
00:55:30,560 --> 00:55:34,480
Speaker 2: That's all Washington needs to stay in this game and

1043
00:55:34,560 --> 00:55:35,600
Speaker 2: scare them.

1044
00:55:36,360 --> 00:55:38,160
Speaker 4: By the way, for anyone that doesn't know, these are

1045
00:55:38,200 --> 00:55:40,279
Speaker 4: the number one and number two teams in the entire

1046
00:55:40,360 --> 00:55:44,399
Speaker 4: NFL for going forward on fourth down, and nobody has

1047
00:55:44,440 --> 00:55:48,120
Speaker 4: been better on third and fourth down this year than Washington.

1048
00:55:48,320 --> 00:55:50,400
Speaker 4: So I just I want to remind everybody, because we

1049
00:55:50,440 --> 00:55:53,400
Speaker 4: hear this all the time with Dan Campbell and the Lions,

1050
00:55:53,600 --> 00:55:55,080
Speaker 4: let's just acknowledge it right now.

1051
00:55:55,560 --> 00:55:58,080
Speaker 3: This entire game, once you get to basically.

1052
00:55:57,680 --> 00:56:00,359
Speaker 4: Your own forty five yard line, this is four down

1053
00:56:00,480 --> 00:56:03,080
Speaker 4: territory for both of these teams, and there's no point

1054
00:56:03,080 --> 00:56:04,439
Speaker 4: in questioning it in this game.

1055
00:56:04,600 --> 00:56:07,279
Speaker 3: It is who they are, like, this is this is

1056
00:56:07,320 --> 00:56:08,439
Speaker 3: how they're gonna play the game.

1057
00:56:08,560 --> 00:56:11,359
Speaker 4: So there's just no point right now worrying about why

1058
00:56:11,400 --> 00:56:13,359
Speaker 4: did they go for that fourth down? That's gonna happen

1059
00:56:13,440 --> 00:56:15,239
Speaker 4: over and over and over in this game, and you

1060
00:56:15,239 --> 00:56:17,680
Speaker 4: are right, like that makes me nuvers Like you mentioned

1061
00:56:17,680 --> 00:56:21,000
Speaker 4: Madden earlier, Like I think it's it's wild to think

1062
00:56:21,000 --> 00:56:23,560
Speaker 4: how we tweat real football like Madden at this point.

1063
00:56:23,640 --> 00:56:26,200
Speaker 4: And the hell, I had friends in high school that

1064
00:56:26,200 --> 00:56:28,320
Speaker 4: I wouldn't play maddening against because they always went four.

1065
00:56:28,160 --> 00:56:30,560
Speaker 3: It on fourth down. And I'm like, I know, I'm

1066
00:56:30,600 --> 00:56:31,839
Speaker 3: just gonna kill you.

1067
00:56:32,480 --> 00:56:35,439
Speaker 2: The same thing, man, Oh my god, Kipling, you said

1068
00:56:35,440 --> 00:56:39,399
Speaker 2: that I they hate playing people that would go fourth

1069
00:56:39,440 --> 00:56:40,160
Speaker 2: on fourth down.

1070
00:56:40,160 --> 00:56:43,279
Speaker 5: It's like, dude, it's played real football, would you yep?

1071
00:56:43,360 --> 00:56:45,239
Speaker 4: One hundred percent. I used to always say the same thing.

1072
00:56:45,280 --> 00:56:47,080
Speaker 4: Now if we're not playing real football, I am playing

1073
00:56:47,120 --> 00:56:49,000
Speaker 4: with you. And now all of a sudden, it's like, no,

1074
00:56:49,120 --> 00:56:51,560
Speaker 4: that is real football. Fourth and fourth and one at

1075
00:56:51,600 --> 00:56:52,640
Speaker 4: your own twenty.

1076
00:56:52,360 --> 00:56:53,040
Speaker 3: Five, Okay.

1077
00:56:53,120 --> 00:56:55,399
Speaker 4: I like I like to touch push hair, like that's

1078
00:56:55,400 --> 00:57:01,040
Speaker 4: become the the Eagles four down territory, the Theons constantly

1079
00:57:01,080 --> 00:57:03,920
Speaker 4: four down territory. And I just want to remind everybody

1080
00:57:03,960 --> 00:57:07,719
Speaker 4: that the commanders actually, you know, percentage wise, the.

1081
00:57:07,680 --> 00:57:08,799
Speaker 3: Best in the league at it.

1082
00:57:08,880 --> 00:57:11,640
Speaker 4: So it's it's kind of crazy when you take third

1083
00:57:11,680 --> 00:57:14,399
Speaker 4: and fourth down and you understand that both of these

1084
00:57:14,440 --> 00:57:16,760
Speaker 4: teams are going to be in four down territory for

1085
00:57:17,520 --> 00:57:19,800
Speaker 4: the entire game. From the opening drive on, they are

1086
00:57:19,800 --> 00:57:21,000
Speaker 4: both in four down territory.

1087
00:57:21,000 --> 00:57:21,400
Speaker 3: As wild.

1088
00:57:23,480 --> 00:57:26,560
Speaker 5: I mean, it's it's it's a lot of fun.

1089
00:57:26,600 --> 00:57:26,720
Speaker 3: Man.

1090
00:57:26,760 --> 00:57:29,280
Speaker 2: It's gonna be a fun game that I It really is.

1091
00:57:29,560 --> 00:57:31,800
Speaker 2: So did I convince you all it's going to be close?

1092
00:57:32,120 --> 00:57:32,440
Speaker 5: Again?

1093
00:57:32,560 --> 00:57:34,800
Speaker 2: I like the Lions. I just don't think the Lions.

1094
00:57:36,040 --> 00:57:41,560
Speaker 2: I think it's their year. I really do. I you know,

1095
00:57:41,680 --> 00:57:44,160
Speaker 2: as much as I think Washington can stress them, and

1096
00:57:44,200 --> 00:57:48,680
Speaker 2: I think the Eagles match up and especially if they

1097
00:57:48,760 --> 00:57:53,040
Speaker 2: control drives against them with Barkley, I think that could

1098
00:57:53,040 --> 00:57:53,680
Speaker 2: be an issue.

1099
00:57:54,320 --> 00:57:56,080
Speaker 5: But ultimately I think it's their year.

1100
00:57:58,320 --> 00:58:01,880
Speaker 4: You too, I think it's it. I definitely think it's

1101
00:58:01,920 --> 00:58:03,680
Speaker 4: their year at least to get to the super Bowl.

1102
00:58:05,240 --> 00:58:07,760
Speaker 4: You could talk me into like it's gonna be a

1103
00:58:07,800 --> 00:58:09,880
Speaker 4: ten point game. I can give you a ten point game,

1104
00:58:10,160 --> 00:58:12,800
Speaker 4: you know, which is still a huge number right now

1105
00:58:12,840 --> 00:58:15,320
Speaker 4: that I say that out loud for an NFL playoff game.

1106
00:58:15,320 --> 00:58:17,000
Speaker 3: I still I.

1107
00:58:16,960 --> 00:58:20,240
Speaker 4: Don't know, But You've definitely talked me into making it

1108
00:58:21,040 --> 00:58:21,840
Speaker 4: at least closer.

1109
00:58:21,920 --> 00:58:24,160
Speaker 3: It's going to be more compelling. You've talked me into.

1110
00:58:24,000 --> 00:58:27,240
Speaker 5: That, all right. I like it. I like it. All right.

1111
00:58:27,840 --> 00:58:34,120
Speaker 2: Let's come back and let's dive into a little Kansas City, Houston,

1112
00:58:34,960 --> 00:58:38,040
Speaker 2: all right, because we'll get into that game. We also

1113
00:58:38,120 --> 00:58:41,160
Speaker 2: do at some point have to talk about the coaching

1114
00:58:41,240 --> 00:58:50,240
Speaker 2: search and what you see in Dallas, because I'll.

1115
00:58:49,600 --> 00:58:52,840
Speaker 5: Be honest with you again, I don't know.

1116
00:58:53,480 --> 00:58:55,440
Speaker 2: I don't want to talk out of school because I

1117
00:58:55,440 --> 00:58:59,240
Speaker 2: don't know Jason Witten and I don't know. I mean,

1118
00:58:59,280 --> 00:59:03,439
Speaker 2: maybe he is. Maybe the interviews great and he's got

1119
00:59:03,440 --> 00:59:06,920
Speaker 2: a plan. And I was talking to Mike Carfola yesterday

1120
00:59:07,000 --> 00:59:09,360
Speaker 2: and he said that somebody told him a couple of

1121
00:59:09,400 --> 00:59:12,640
Speaker 2: years ago that Winton will be a head coach for

1122
00:59:12,680 --> 00:59:16,600
Speaker 2: the Cowboys and he'll be good. So you know, maybe

1123
00:59:17,120 --> 00:59:19,520
Speaker 2: you know, I don't know, but man, I would be

1124
00:59:19,600 --> 00:59:23,600
Speaker 2: tempted for Dion. I really would be where the fellas.

1125
00:59:23,600 --> 00:59:27,080
Speaker 2: We'll discuss it all right here on Fox Sports Radio.

1148
01:00:35,200 --> 01:00:39,000
Speaker 2: we get off the air. Jason Fitz, Anthony Gargano, Hey,

1149
01:00:39,160 --> 01:00:42,120
Speaker 2: real quick, before we go to Chiefs Texas and we'll

1150
01:00:42,120 --> 01:00:44,800
Speaker 2: get to that game coming up. But to dive into

1151
01:00:44,800 --> 01:00:48,160
Speaker 2: the coaching thing, just a little bit. How do you

1152
01:00:48,240 --> 01:00:50,200
Speaker 2: not go Dion if you're the Cowboys?

1153
01:00:53,680 --> 01:00:57,720
Speaker 4: Well, okay, I mean a couple of things here. It

1154
01:00:57,800 --> 01:00:59,720
Speaker 4: makes a lot of sense in some ways.

1155
01:00:59,720 --> 01:01:02,600
Speaker 3: Put also, look at what he did at Colorado.

1156
01:01:02,760 --> 01:01:04,440
Speaker 4: The first thing he did at Colorado was walked in

1157
01:01:04,440 --> 01:01:06,200
Speaker 4: with the fancy luggage and said, if you don't want

1158
01:01:06,200 --> 01:01:07,040
Speaker 4: to be here, get out.

1159
01:01:07,720 --> 01:01:10,560
Speaker 3: And then he just ripped the entire roster apart.

1160
01:01:10,680 --> 01:01:13,440
Speaker 4: And then after one year of that, said, you know what,

1161
01:01:13,480 --> 01:01:15,760
Speaker 4: we need an entirely new offensive line. So they spend

1162
01:01:15,760 --> 01:01:17,320
Speaker 4: a bunch of money in nil and they went out

1163
01:01:17,320 --> 01:01:20,040
Speaker 4: and they did that. I do think we need to

1164
01:01:20,080 --> 01:01:23,160
Speaker 4: acknowledge that roster building in the NFL is so different.

1165
01:01:23,240 --> 01:01:26,280
Speaker 3: He can't. I mean, there's no salary cap in college football.

1166
01:01:26,320 --> 01:01:27,680
Speaker 4: So you want to dump a bunch of players and

1167
01:01:27,680 --> 01:01:29,320
Speaker 4: bring in a bunch of new players, you just need

1168
01:01:29,360 --> 01:01:31,760
Speaker 4: to find more collective money. You can't do that at

1169
01:01:31,800 --> 01:01:34,520
Speaker 4: the NFL level. So I think that some of the

1170
01:01:34,880 --> 01:01:37,960
Speaker 4: you know, at least in my mind, we have no

1171
01:01:38,080 --> 01:01:40,200
Speaker 4: idea traditional roster building.

1172
01:01:40,880 --> 01:01:41,680
Speaker 3: What's it looked like?

1173
01:01:41,880 --> 01:01:43,680
Speaker 4: Even some of the things you know ahead of the

1174
01:01:43,680 --> 01:01:46,200
Speaker 4: bowl game where it's like no slides and you know,

1175
01:01:46,280 --> 01:01:48,080
Speaker 4: the dress code and all these things that he does

1176
01:01:48,080 --> 01:01:51,720
Speaker 4: at the college level that work with Dionne and Colorado kids.

1177
01:01:52,120 --> 01:01:54,120
Speaker 4: I don't know if that'll work with the Cowboys. So

1178
01:01:54,840 --> 01:01:57,520
Speaker 4: I do think there's a little element of what's been

1179
01:01:57,600 --> 01:02:00,880
Speaker 4: accomplished at Colorado, while it's been great, is so different

1180
01:02:00,960 --> 01:02:03,800
Speaker 4: than the path to accomplishing the same things at the NFL.

1181
01:02:04,400 --> 01:02:08,320
Speaker 3: I acknowledge that portion of it. That's the biggest thing

1182
01:02:08,400 --> 01:02:08,600
Speaker 3: to me.

1183
01:02:08,680 --> 01:02:10,880
Speaker 4: It's just like there's there's not a ton of proof

1184
01:02:10,920 --> 01:02:13,440
Speaker 4: of concept. I just don't I don't know. I mean,

1185
01:02:13,640 --> 01:02:15,160
Speaker 4: in some ways it makes a ton of sense.

1186
01:02:15,160 --> 01:02:17,920
Speaker 3: Why not? Why not Dion? I mean, but the other

1187
01:02:17,960 --> 01:02:19,600
Speaker 3: side of it is, if you're Jerry, you're in win

1188
01:02:19,880 --> 01:02:22,480
Speaker 3: right now? Mode? Is Deon that guy?

1189
01:02:22,560 --> 01:02:24,960
Speaker 4: Like does Deon come in and suddenly make them better

1190
01:02:25,000 --> 01:02:25,680
Speaker 4: than the Lions?

1191
01:02:25,720 --> 01:02:29,160
Speaker 3: I don't know. I mean, it just it feels a

1192
01:02:29,160 --> 01:02:30,080
Speaker 3: little studying.

1193
01:02:29,960 --> 01:02:31,920
Speaker 2: Better all But you need to have a you need

1194
01:02:31,960 --> 01:02:35,400
Speaker 2: to to nestle in and and have a coach for

1195
01:02:35,880 --> 01:02:37,080
Speaker 2: the next five years.

1196
01:02:38,720 --> 01:02:42,200
Speaker 5: Here's the thing with dion Like, you know, you're he's

1197
01:02:42,200 --> 01:02:42,440
Speaker 5: got it.

1198
01:02:43,120 --> 01:02:46,320
Speaker 2: I've already have a GM in place, right You're You're

1199
01:02:46,360 --> 01:02:50,440
Speaker 2: going to have a support staff, you know. I mean,

1200
01:02:50,480 --> 01:02:52,800
Speaker 2: he's gonna bring his own coaching staff, but you already

1201
01:02:52,840 --> 01:02:56,360
Speaker 2: have a support staff in place to run the draft

1202
01:02:56,400 --> 01:02:58,600
Speaker 2: and all that stuff. Like he's not gonna be responsible

1203
01:02:58,640 --> 01:03:02,560
Speaker 2: for that. He's not gonna be building a roster, right,

1204
01:03:02,600 --> 01:03:04,920
Speaker 2: I'm sure, I'll say, and so they put. But he's

1205
01:03:04,960 --> 01:03:06,120
Speaker 2: not gonna be in charge of that.

1206
01:03:07,040 --> 01:03:09,440
Speaker 4: And that's a wildly different thing, right, Like if you're

1207
01:03:09,440 --> 01:03:12,400
Speaker 4: playing chess and you suddenly don't get to control any

1208
01:03:12,440 --> 01:03:14,720
Speaker 4: of the pieces that you have on the board, that's

1209
01:03:14,720 --> 01:03:15,160
Speaker 4: a much.

1210
01:03:15,320 --> 01:03:18,040
Speaker 2: Well, Kelmre is not going to have not gonna have

1211
01:03:18,080 --> 01:03:20,080
Speaker 2: to say over that. Neither is Jason Witton.

1212
01:03:20,840 --> 01:03:23,600
Speaker 3: Sure, but we just have no idea for any of them.

1213
01:03:23,600 --> 01:03:27,760
Speaker 4: But even especially for Dion, his success has come so

1214
01:03:27,880 --> 01:03:30,760
Speaker 4: far at the college level by having tremendous say in

1215
01:03:30,840 --> 01:03:33,400
Speaker 4: every single piece on the chessboard, and he has none

1216
01:03:33,440 --> 01:03:33,960
Speaker 4: of that here.

1217
01:03:34,000 --> 01:03:36,080
Speaker 3: So like I just think that's a variable.

1218
01:03:35,680 --> 01:03:38,920
Speaker 4: And that managed his expectations a little bit like what

1219
01:03:39,120 --> 01:03:44,160
Speaker 4: you let's be real, Colorado stacked an entire roster one year,

1220
01:03:44,600 --> 01:03:47,040
Speaker 4: decided that that wasn't working, so then they.

1221
01:03:47,040 --> 01:03:50,320
Speaker 3: Restacked the roster year too. There was some common I.

1222
01:03:50,240 --> 01:03:54,000
Speaker 2: Mean, I can't tell you that what kind of Exino coach.

1223
01:03:54,080 --> 01:03:59,720
Speaker 2: He is I'll say he's every bit is a charismatic

1224
01:04:01,120 --> 01:04:04,760
Speaker 2: you know, Uh, how's he different?

1225
01:04:05,040 --> 01:04:05,360
Speaker 5: Again?

1226
01:04:05,920 --> 01:04:08,880
Speaker 2: And with that, I hate saying it like this because

1227
01:04:09,440 --> 01:04:14,080
Speaker 2: I'm not inside either locker room. But assuming they're both

1228
01:04:14,200 --> 01:04:18,160
Speaker 2: great football guys, right, which I believe they are, But

1229
01:04:18,160 --> 01:04:20,040
Speaker 2: what's the difference between Dan Campbell and Dion?

1230
01:04:20,720 --> 01:04:23,720
Speaker 3: I know, I don't know the answer to that, and you're.

1231
01:04:23,600 --> 01:04:24,680
Speaker 5: Right, I guess.

1232
01:04:25,400 --> 01:04:28,480
Speaker 2: I mean my point is that there's CEO coaches, right, Like,

1233
01:04:28,520 --> 01:04:30,920
Speaker 2: that's what they're going to be in the NFL, That's

1234
01:04:30,960 --> 01:04:32,120
Speaker 2: what would be in the NFL.

1235
01:04:32,200 --> 01:04:35,360
Speaker 4: Right, But so was Antonio Pierce. And Antonio Pierce lasted

1236
01:04:35,440 --> 01:04:38,200
Speaker 4: one year, right, Like, so the CEO coach like we

1237
01:04:38,200 --> 01:04:40,600
Speaker 4: can use Dan Campbell is the great example of that, sure,

1238
01:04:40,640 --> 01:04:44,240
Speaker 4: but like what is your I mean, Antonio Pierce had

1239
01:04:44,280 --> 01:04:46,760
Speaker 4: never done it at any level, neither of Dan Campbell

1240
01:04:46,920 --> 01:04:47,640
Speaker 4: as a head coach.

1241
01:04:47,880 --> 01:04:50,080
Speaker 2: Well, And that's my point is that you lean in

1242
01:04:50,160 --> 01:04:53,560
Speaker 2: on on the experience of Colorado at a big time program,

1243
01:04:53,600 --> 01:04:54,720
Speaker 2: and you.

1244
01:04:54,680 --> 01:04:56,480
Speaker 5: Know, I again, I hear you.

1245
01:04:56,640 --> 01:05:00,240
Speaker 2: I just think it makes someone sense if you're to

1246
01:05:00,240 --> 01:05:02,320
Speaker 2: go with the first time coach like Jason Witten.

1247
01:05:04,640 --> 01:05:06,959
Speaker 3: That's also a terrible high. That's I think that's also

1248
01:05:07,080 --> 01:05:07,880
Speaker 3: a terrible high.

1249
01:05:08,160 --> 01:05:11,720
Speaker 4: I don't think. I think if we're talking Wood should

1250
01:05:11,760 --> 01:05:13,760
Speaker 4: and could. The one thing I will say is I've

1251
01:05:13,800 --> 01:05:15,720
Speaker 4: talked a lot to joey Epstein that works for you

1252
01:05:15,720 --> 01:05:16,280
Speaker 4: AHU Sports.

1253
01:05:16,320 --> 01:05:18,000
Speaker 3: She used to work on the Cowboys beach.

1254
01:05:18,040 --> 01:05:20,959
Speaker 4: She knows this team really well, and she echoed something

1255
01:05:20,960 --> 01:05:24,320
Speaker 4: that Sharene Williams, who also has covered the Cowboys forever,

1256
01:05:24,680 --> 01:05:28,160
Speaker 4: has said loudly. Jerry does not philosophically believe in paying

1257
01:05:28,200 --> 01:05:31,320
Speaker 4: buyouts for coaches to bring in a coach. So I

1258
01:05:31,560 --> 01:05:33,480
Speaker 4: don't think this is gonna happen because there's an eight

1259
01:05:33,520 --> 01:05:36,840
Speaker 4: million dollar buyout on Dion and the same question when

1260
01:05:36,840 --> 01:05:39,080
Speaker 4: people asked, well, why not Belichick, He's not going to

1261
01:05:39,120 --> 01:05:40,440
Speaker 4: pay the ten million dollar buyout.

1262
01:05:40,520 --> 01:05:43,280
Speaker 3: Like, whether that that seems.

1263
01:05:43,080 --> 01:05:45,440
Speaker 5: Stupid or not, I guess that's ridiculous.

1264
01:05:45,560 --> 01:05:49,960
Speaker 4: But whether yeah, again, whether that's Jerry being cheap or

1265
01:05:50,040 --> 01:05:52,600
Speaker 4: Jerry being dumb, or Jerry being any of those things,

1266
01:05:52,800 --> 01:05:54,640
Speaker 4: I don't know. But I will tell you the two

1267
01:05:54,680 --> 01:05:56,840
Speaker 4: of the smartest people I think that cover the Cowboys

1268
01:05:56,840 --> 01:05:59,480
Speaker 4: have said it's not gonna happen because he won't pay

1269
01:05:59,480 --> 01:06:01,640
Speaker 4: the buyout on top of band of coach and so

1270
01:06:02,240 --> 01:06:06,320
Speaker 4: that's just philosophically, he doesn't believe in it. Now is

1271
01:06:06,360 --> 01:06:08,640
Speaker 4: the on the great exception to that if somebody had

1272
01:06:08,680 --> 01:06:11,040
Speaker 4: the leaning of that, I think sharene of all. Like

1273
01:06:11,080 --> 01:06:12,960
Speaker 4: Sharen Williams for anyone that doesn't know, she works for

1274
01:06:13,000 --> 01:06:15,960
Speaker 4: Pro Football Talk, but she covered for She covered the

1275
01:06:17,560 --> 01:06:21,000
Speaker 4: Cowboys for I think twenty five plus years. Most connected

1276
01:06:21,040 --> 01:06:24,480
Speaker 4: Cowboys person I know. And she doesn't misspeak when it

1277
01:06:24,480 --> 01:06:26,320
Speaker 4: comes to the Cowboys. So when she loudly went to

1278
01:06:26,400 --> 01:06:28,760
Speaker 4: social media and it was like, guys, Jerry's never going

1279
01:06:28,800 --> 01:06:30,920
Speaker 4: to pay the buyout, that's not what he does, I

1280
01:06:30,920 --> 01:06:33,320
Speaker 4: think there is some credence to that, just to factor into.

1281
01:06:33,120 --> 01:06:35,280
Speaker 2: The no I trust her, Yeah, I'm with you. I

1282
01:06:35,280 --> 01:06:41,320
Speaker 2: trust Sharen. So will you telling me my guess is

1283
01:06:41,320 --> 01:06:44,800
Speaker 2: why Kellen Moore is going to be the front line

1284
01:06:44,840 --> 01:06:45,480
Speaker 2: for that job?

1285
01:06:46,800 --> 01:06:48,280
Speaker 3: I think so.

1286
01:06:48,840 --> 01:06:52,080
Speaker 4: And I'll say the same thing about Kellen Moore, like

1287
01:06:52,200 --> 01:06:54,160
Speaker 4: I'm gonna be consistent on this one. And I know

1288
01:06:54,240 --> 01:06:56,800
Speaker 4: he's the offensive coordinator of a team you know well right,

1289
01:06:57,160 --> 01:06:59,840
Speaker 4: But when he was hired I said to you this,

1290
01:07:00,040 --> 01:07:01,680
Speaker 4: I was like, how many Eagles fans were shaking in

1291
01:07:01,720 --> 01:07:05,520
Speaker 4: their boots when he was running the Cowboys offense. But internally,

1292
01:07:05,600 --> 01:07:09,080
Speaker 4: from what I've been told, the Cowboys and Jerry Jones

1293
01:07:09,200 --> 01:07:11,960
Speaker 4: loved Kellen Moore and they never wanted Kellen to get away.

1294
01:07:12,040 --> 01:07:15,520
Speaker 4: And weirdly, Jerry still regrets the fact that he let

1295
01:07:15,560 --> 01:07:17,920
Speaker 4: Sean Payton get away. He regrets the fact that he

1296
01:07:17,920 --> 01:07:20,760
Speaker 4: has Sean Payton in the building and never did anything

1297
01:07:20,800 --> 01:07:22,919
Speaker 4: with it. And so to him, Keller Moore is Sean

1298
01:07:22,960 --> 01:07:24,680
Speaker 4: Payton two point zero, and he never wanted to let

1299
01:07:24,760 --> 01:07:26,920
Speaker 4: him walk out the building in the first place. Now

1300
01:07:26,920 --> 01:07:28,640
Speaker 4: that he's out the building, he wants to get him back.

1301
01:07:28,640 --> 01:07:30,160
Speaker 4: He wants him to be the head coach there before

1302
01:07:30,160 --> 01:07:32,800
Speaker 4: he's the head coach somewhere else. That's That's what I've

1303
01:07:32,880 --> 01:07:34,400
Speaker 4: heard from people that I think are smart.

1304
01:07:34,440 --> 01:07:36,680
Speaker 5: Well, it makes sense.

1305
01:07:36,720 --> 01:07:38,480
Speaker 3: Do I love that? No?

1306
01:07:38,040 --> 01:07:44,800
Speaker 2: No, I mean, listen, I'll give Keller Moore credit. I mean,

1307
01:07:44,840 --> 01:07:50,160
Speaker 2: I think he's done a really nice job here. Here's

1308
01:07:50,200 --> 01:07:53,840
Speaker 2: what I like what he did. They started off as

1309
01:07:54,080 --> 01:07:59,480
Speaker 2: something and they pivoted. It takes a lot for a

1310
01:07:59,560 --> 01:08:04,760
Speaker 2: guy to pivot, and he comes in as the OC.

1311
01:08:06,280 --> 01:08:12,280
Speaker 2: And Jalen Hurts is a difficult quarterback. First of all,

1312
01:08:12,360 --> 01:08:16,640
Speaker 2: he's had a ton of ocs, which has added to

1313
01:08:16,720 --> 01:08:22,519
Speaker 2: his own frustration, which I completely understand. But he's not

1314
01:08:22,840 --> 01:08:31,080
Speaker 2: comfortable in certain situations. Like he's much more comfortable running

1315
01:08:31,720 --> 01:08:35,200
Speaker 2: that college spread right, Like that's just what he likes.

1316
01:08:36,000 --> 01:08:40,040
Speaker 2: He's way more comfortable running rpo stuff. Kellen Moore didn't

1317
01:08:40,040 --> 01:08:44,880
Speaker 2: want to do that. Keller Moore wanted to run, you know,

1318
01:08:45,400 --> 01:08:48,439
Speaker 2: be more of what McVeigh does and a lot of

1319
01:08:48,560 --> 01:08:53,800
Speaker 2: movement and you know under center, and that's just not

1320
01:08:53,920 --> 01:08:57,320
Speaker 2: who Jalen is and so and they wanted to throw

1321
01:08:57,360 --> 01:08:57,760
Speaker 2: it more.

1322
01:08:58,680 --> 01:09:02,960
Speaker 5: And first four games there were two and two because

1323
01:09:03,000 --> 01:09:03,280
Speaker 5: of that.

1324
01:09:04,479 --> 01:09:07,639
Speaker 2: And then they went they scrapped it all and they said,

1325
01:09:07,640 --> 01:09:10,559
Speaker 2: we know, and I told you this that we had

1326
01:09:10,560 --> 01:09:11,719
Speaker 2: this conversation with Sirianna.

1327
01:09:11,800 --> 01:09:14,639
Speaker 5: They're a I said, dude, you guys are a downhill

1328
01:09:14,720 --> 01:09:15,479
Speaker 5: running team. Man.

1329
01:09:15,840 --> 01:09:17,960
Speaker 2: You've got a great old line. You've got a great

1330
01:09:18,040 --> 01:09:21,760
Speaker 2: running back. The quarterback helps in the run game. Just

1331
01:09:21,840 --> 01:09:24,720
Speaker 2: go all in and run the football forget about you know.

1332
01:09:24,760 --> 01:09:27,479
Speaker 2: I know you got aj Deavante, but you know what,

1333
01:09:28,120 --> 01:09:31,760
Speaker 2: I would just run it and I and and play it.

1334
01:09:31,760 --> 01:09:35,280
Speaker 2: You got a defense coming together, and it took a lot.

1335
01:09:35,360 --> 01:09:39,200
Speaker 2: I'd give Kellen More a lot of credit for adapting, evolving,

1336
01:09:39,360 --> 01:09:40,000
Speaker 2: and pivoting.

1337
01:09:42,200 --> 01:09:46,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a great point by you. Uh So, I

1338
01:09:46,439 --> 01:09:47,240
Speaker 4: mean I stand by that.

1339
01:09:47,280 --> 01:09:47,640
Speaker 3: I think that.

1340
01:09:47,920 --> 01:09:49,400
Speaker 4: You know, how often do I say I want my

1341
01:09:49,400 --> 01:09:52,080
Speaker 4: favorite coaches to be, you know, chopped contestants and just

1342
01:09:52,200 --> 01:09:53,120
Speaker 4: cook with what they've done.

1343
01:09:53,320 --> 01:09:55,240
Speaker 3: So I'll give you. I'll give you that all day,

1344
01:09:55,280 --> 01:09:55,679
Speaker 3: every day.

1345
01:09:56,120 --> 01:09:59,559
Speaker 4: And I will also acknowledgeing the keller More conversation, just

1346
01:09:59,560 --> 01:10:01,920
Speaker 4: like we'll knowledge when we talk about Ben Johnson. The

1347
01:10:01,960 --> 01:10:04,479
Speaker 4: one thing we don't know is guys going from coordinator

1348
01:10:04,479 --> 01:10:06,280
Speaker 4: to head coach. There's such different roles. I think you

1349
01:10:06,320 --> 01:10:09,200
Speaker 4: can be an okay coordinator that turns into a brilliant

1350
01:10:09,200 --> 01:10:10,519
Speaker 4: head coach, and vice versa.

1351
01:10:10,640 --> 01:10:11,120
Speaker 3: You can be a.

1352
01:10:11,120 --> 01:10:14,880
Speaker 4: Brilliant head coach a brilliant coordinator that turns into an

1353
01:10:14,880 --> 01:10:17,240
Speaker 4: okay head coach, you know what I mean. So you

1354
01:10:17,280 --> 01:10:20,679
Speaker 4: make a good point, though, I got nothing but respect

1355
01:10:20,680 --> 01:10:23,599
Speaker 4: for the ability and what we've seen from Philly this year,

1356
01:10:23,960 --> 01:10:25,479
Speaker 4: which I think has been the best of it. I

1357
01:10:26,600 --> 01:10:30,160
Speaker 4: think also when you look at the Dallas job, whereas

1358
01:10:30,200 --> 01:10:31,920
Speaker 4: a lot of people think the Dallas job is not

1359
01:10:31,960 --> 01:10:33,519
Speaker 4: a good one, I think it's a very good one,

1360
01:10:33,560 --> 01:10:37,000
Speaker 4: because I mean, you've seen an MVP candidate quarterback, you

1361
01:10:37,080 --> 01:10:38,960
Speaker 4: have one of the best wide receivers in the league.

1362
01:10:38,960 --> 01:10:40,880
Speaker 4: You've got a superstar player on the defensive side of

1363
01:10:40,920 --> 01:10:43,719
Speaker 4: the ball, like you've got game wreckers, which is hard

1364
01:10:43,720 --> 01:10:45,960
Speaker 4: to do. You need to draft better and start to

1365
01:10:45,960 --> 01:10:47,760
Speaker 4: build the rest of the roster around it. You need

1366
01:10:47,800 --> 01:10:49,920
Speaker 4: to fix the offensive line. But if you're Kellen Moore,

1367
01:10:50,200 --> 01:10:52,080
Speaker 4: can't tell me you wouldn't be excited of all the

1368
01:10:52,160 --> 01:10:54,720
Speaker 4: jobs to look around and say, Okay, I'll work with

1369
01:10:54,760 --> 01:10:57,839
Speaker 4: an MVP candidate quarterback and a great wide receiver. That's

1370
01:10:57,960 --> 01:11:00,200
Speaker 4: not the worst cupboard to start with. That as not

1371
01:11:00,240 --> 01:11:01,120
Speaker 4: a bare situation.

1372
01:11:03,000 --> 01:11:07,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah. And and listen, even though I wanted

1373
01:11:07,640 --> 01:11:12,639
Speaker 2: to say that Kellen Moore wants to wanted to run

1374
01:11:12,720 --> 01:11:17,800
Speaker 2: more of have more of McVeigh offense, he's not my man.

1375
01:11:17,880 --> 01:11:21,080
Speaker 2: Nikky chimes in and says, Kellen Moore is no Sean McVay.

1376
01:11:21,439 --> 01:11:26,280
Speaker 2: I agree. I just think it more was kind of

1377
01:11:26,320 --> 01:11:32,200
Speaker 2: handcuffed by what hurts does so and I just like

1378
01:11:32,320 --> 01:11:35,439
Speaker 2: that piece of it. You're you're you're a spot on.

1379
01:11:35,880 --> 01:11:40,400
Speaker 2: Let me ask you this, what do you said? You

1380
01:11:40,520 --> 01:11:43,760
Speaker 2: let this kind of slip in a fun way. The

1381
01:11:43,800 --> 01:11:47,559
Speaker 2: next coach of my team, Ben Johnson, are you are

1382
01:11:47,600 --> 01:11:49,040
Speaker 2: you shure that that's going to happen.

1383
01:11:49,960 --> 01:11:50,200
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1384
01:11:50,400 --> 01:11:54,519
Speaker 4: I'm talked to enough smart people that I don't know

1385
01:11:54,560 --> 01:11:56,519
Speaker 4: why it's like. So this is the one thing I

1386
01:11:56,520 --> 01:11:59,400
Speaker 4: would say a lot of people think that the Raiders

1387
01:11:59,520 --> 01:12:01,960
Speaker 4: job is is the worst of the openings. What I've

1388
01:12:02,000 --> 01:12:05,360
Speaker 4: been told repeatedly from smart people over the last week

1389
01:12:05,520 --> 01:12:08,960
Speaker 4: is we got to stop looking at jobs, particularly about

1390
01:12:09,000 --> 01:12:11,960
Speaker 4: what quarterback is there, and looking at jobs and asking

1391
01:12:12,040 --> 01:12:16,519
Speaker 4: what's the organizational structure and because quarterback can be hit

1392
01:12:16,640 --> 01:12:18,680
Speaker 4: miss we don't know of all the jobs that are

1393
01:12:18,720 --> 01:12:21,680
Speaker 4: out there, there are questions about several of the quarterbacks

1394
01:12:21,680 --> 01:12:24,760
Speaker 4: that are out there. So what seems to matter to

1395
01:12:24,760 --> 01:12:26,760
Speaker 4: some candidates? And I guess Ben must be in this.

1396
01:12:27,080 --> 01:12:28,479
Speaker 4: I can't speak for him. I don't know them, but

1397
01:12:28,520 --> 01:12:31,400
Speaker 4: what I've been told is that, you know, it's about

1398
01:12:31,439 --> 01:12:33,400
Speaker 4: the clock, and is the clock starting for everybody at

1399
01:12:33,439 --> 01:12:36,000
Speaker 4: the same time? So you know, think back to when

1400
01:12:36,120 --> 01:12:38,599
Speaker 4: Kyle Shanahan came to the forty nine ers. They gave

1401
01:12:38,680 --> 01:12:41,160
Speaker 4: him a six year deal, which at the time was unprecedented,

1402
01:12:41,200 --> 01:12:43,639
Speaker 4: and they also gave John Lynch a long term deal

1403
01:12:43,960 --> 01:12:46,160
Speaker 4: the same day, right, Like all of that came together

1404
01:12:46,200 --> 01:12:48,719
Speaker 4: at day one, And something that seems to be important

1405
01:12:48,720 --> 01:12:51,600
Speaker 4: to Ben Johnson is as absolutely everybody in the organization

1406
01:12:51,680 --> 01:12:53,880
Speaker 4: on the same page. Are we all on the same clock?

1407
01:12:54,320 --> 01:12:56,840
Speaker 4: Is the same timing for all of this happening? Are

1408
01:12:56,840 --> 01:12:59,120
Speaker 4: there going to be long term? Is the deal long

1409
01:12:59,200 --> 01:13:01,320
Speaker 4: term enough for every buddy that there's time to rebuild?

1410
01:13:01,320 --> 01:13:03,320
Speaker 4: Those are all things that apparently the Raiders are willing

1411
01:13:03,360 --> 01:13:05,439
Speaker 4: to do for Ben Johnson or Tom Brady's willing to

1412
01:13:05,439 --> 01:13:09,599
Speaker 4: do for Ben Johnson. So yeah, I mean the people

1413
01:13:09,680 --> 01:13:12,040
Speaker 4: that I constantly read and talk to and that I

1414
01:13:12,040 --> 01:13:14,479
Speaker 4: think are smart on this have made it clear that

1415
01:13:14,720 --> 01:13:16,559
Speaker 4: you know this, this looks like it's a marriage that's

1416
01:13:16,560 --> 01:13:19,360
Speaker 4: gonna happen, which I think is a stunning win for Vegas. Honestly,

1417
01:13:19,400 --> 01:13:21,160
Speaker 4: you never know if he's going to turn out to

1418
01:13:21,160 --> 01:13:22,479
Speaker 4: be a great head coach, but you know he's a

1419
01:13:22,479 --> 01:13:23,080
Speaker 4: great candidate.

1420
01:13:23,760 --> 01:13:25,640
Speaker 2: He is a great candidate, and you also don't know

1421
01:13:25,640 --> 01:13:27,559
Speaker 2: if he's going to take the job last minute.

1422
01:13:27,840 --> 01:13:27,880
Speaker 6: No.

1423
01:13:28,080 --> 01:13:30,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's what That's what makes me nervous is that

1424
01:13:30,120 --> 01:13:32,759
Speaker 4: after the Super Bowl, when he's sitting on the float,

1425
01:13:32,800 --> 01:13:34,120
Speaker 4: he's like you know what, this is pretty good.

1426
01:13:34,120 --> 01:13:35,840
Speaker 3: I think I'll just stay.

1427
01:13:35,600 --> 01:13:37,240
Speaker 5: Here right right.

1428
01:13:38,479 --> 01:13:40,840
Speaker 2: Tom sends him the plane and then you know, all

1429
01:13:40,880 --> 01:13:45,759
Speaker 2: of a sudden, he's like, ah, I'm gonna stake Yeah

1430
01:13:46,160 --> 01:13:49,200
Speaker 2: that is, We're gonna take quick Tail come back, we'll

1431
01:13:49,200 --> 01:13:51,280
Speaker 2: take out the other jobs, and we'll get back to

1432
01:13:51,640 --> 01:13:55,240
Speaker 2: the games. Give me your predictions fits you on the

1433
01:13:55,320 --> 01:14:02,160
Speaker 2: other side, Jets, who's the Jets new head coach? Who's

1434
01:14:02,960 --> 01:14:05,240
Speaker 2: the Jaguars new head codes?

1435
01:14:05,240 --> 01:14:08,719
Speaker 5: All I want? I want the predictions? All right, Saints?

1436
01:14:10,120 --> 01:14:13,719
Speaker 2: Where the fellas hanging out right here Fox Sports Radio

1437
01:14:14,520 --> 01:14:19,280
Speaker 2: fellas from the tai iraq dot com studios before we

1438
01:14:19,320 --> 01:14:21,800
Speaker 2: get back to the games, and uh and diving in.

1439
01:14:21,920 --> 01:14:24,759
Speaker 2: You don't forget with Ohio State, Notre Dame. I cannot

1440
01:14:24,800 --> 01:14:27,800
Speaker 2: wait for Monday night either. Like I, I want to

1441
01:14:27,920 --> 01:14:31,280
Speaker 2: enjoy each of these five games. This is it, man,

1442
01:14:31,760 --> 01:14:35,439
Speaker 2: you know, because then I'll be severely depressed. There will

1443
01:14:35,479 --> 01:14:38,000
Speaker 2: only be three games left after this weekend. So I

1444
01:14:38,040 --> 01:14:41,799
Speaker 2: want to just kind of enjoy these three, these five games,

1445
01:14:42,640 --> 01:14:45,000
Speaker 2: and uh, it's great me, They're all great in their

1446
01:14:45,040 --> 01:14:48,080
Speaker 2: own way, and just kind of enjoy it all. But

1447
01:14:48,400 --> 01:14:51,639
Speaker 2: to talk about the off season and the coaching hires.

1448
01:14:52,680 --> 01:14:55,040
Speaker 2: Give me we kind of what you see now that

1449
01:14:55,080 --> 01:14:59,880
Speaker 2: we're deep into it. Uh, we did the whole process,

1450
01:15:00,160 --> 01:15:04,919
Speaker 2: kind of know all the candidates. You think Ben Johnson

1451
01:15:04,960 --> 01:15:08,480
Speaker 2: to the Raiders, called Moore to the Cowboys.

1452
01:15:09,560 --> 01:15:11,080
Speaker 5: Who's going to the Jets?

1453
01:15:12,240 --> 01:15:16,120
Speaker 3: Oh? I think Aaron Glenn to the Jets makes sense.

1454
01:15:18,040 --> 01:15:20,680
Speaker 4: This which is gonna be wild because that means that

1455
01:15:20,840 --> 01:15:24,080
Speaker 4: as much as Dan Campbell deserves so much praise for

1456
01:15:24,160 --> 01:15:26,559
Speaker 4: what's been built for the Lions, we have to acknowledge

1457
01:15:26,600 --> 01:15:28,080
Speaker 4: that I think the Lions are going to be in

1458
01:15:28,120 --> 01:15:31,240
Speaker 4: that Eagles situation in a couple of years where or

1459
01:15:31,320 --> 01:15:32,880
Speaker 4: next year that the Eagles were in a couple of

1460
01:15:32,920 --> 01:15:35,439
Speaker 4: years ago, I should say, where they had to go

1461
01:15:35,560 --> 01:15:38,160
Speaker 4: in and replace two coordinators at once, which is an

1462
01:15:38,240 --> 01:15:41,519
Speaker 4: unenviable position to be in. But Aaron Glenn has gotten

1463
01:15:41,560 --> 01:15:45,880
Speaker 4: so much momentum it feels like that makes sense. Also,

1464
01:15:45,920 --> 01:15:48,120
Speaker 4: the organization seems to be comfortable with him, and he's

1465
01:15:48,120 --> 01:15:49,320
Speaker 4: comfortable with the organization.

1466
01:15:49,400 --> 01:15:51,760
Speaker 3: All of that seems to matter way more than I

1467
01:15:51,800 --> 01:15:52,760
Speaker 3: want to give it credit for.

1468
01:15:52,920 --> 01:15:55,240
Speaker 4: Like, it just feels like people like guys they know

1469
01:15:55,520 --> 01:15:58,040
Speaker 4: you know, and so Aaron Glenn, I think Aaron Glenn

1470
01:15:58,080 --> 01:15:59,760
Speaker 4: to the Jets is where we end up.

1471
01:16:00,960 --> 01:16:03,400
Speaker 5: So Aaron Glenn to the Jets.

1472
01:16:03,439 --> 01:16:07,080
Speaker 2: That would leave the other two openings, which would be

1473
01:16:08,160 --> 01:16:09,920
Speaker 2: Jacksonville and New Orleans.

1474
01:16:11,120 --> 01:16:15,719
Speaker 4: Charles Robinson at Yahoo Sports is pretty passionate. The Jags

1475
01:16:15,840 --> 01:16:20,040
Speaker 4: are keying in on Liam Cohen, the offensive coordinator for

1476
01:16:20,160 --> 01:16:24,040
Speaker 4: Tampa BIP. So I think and look, I talked to

1477
01:16:24,080 --> 01:16:27,600
Speaker 4: Liam before Leam like were buddies. But I talked to

1478
01:16:27,680 --> 01:16:30,519
Speaker 4: him before Will Levis was drafted because he coached Will

1479
01:16:31,439 --> 01:16:34,160
Speaker 4: in college, and I thought it was really interesting when

1480
01:16:34,160 --> 01:16:36,880
Speaker 4: I talked to him. He had such a passionate plan

1481
01:16:37,400 --> 01:16:41,320
Speaker 4: for what was necessary for the development of Will Levis.

1482
01:16:41,320 --> 01:16:43,120
Speaker 4: And talked to him for like half an hour, and

1483
01:16:43,439 --> 01:16:46,160
Speaker 4: he was pretty smart listening to talk, listening to him

1484
01:16:46,160 --> 01:16:48,800
Speaker 4: talk about the fact that he wouldn't have played Will

1485
01:16:48,840 --> 01:16:51,240
Speaker 4: for at least a year, maybe two years, and then

1486
01:16:51,439 --> 01:16:53,000
Speaker 4: some of the concepts he would have tried to bring

1487
01:16:53,040 --> 01:16:55,760
Speaker 4: on step by step by step. I think it was

1488
01:16:55,800 --> 01:16:57,640
Speaker 4: a smart plan and the Titans didn't do it and

1489
01:16:57,680 --> 01:16:59,559
Speaker 4: they wrecked the quarterback that I don't think was really

1490
01:16:59,760 --> 01:17:03,320
Speaker 4: crazy anyway, So I think it's interesting because you know,

1491
01:17:03,439 --> 01:17:07,280
Speaker 4: Cohen is he's so smart. I think that's going to

1492
01:17:07,360 --> 01:17:09,719
Speaker 4: be a good it's a good marriage for Trevor Lawrence,

1493
01:17:09,760 --> 01:17:12,880
Speaker 4: to see if somebody can finally unlatch the greatness of

1494
01:17:12,880 --> 01:17:14,679
Speaker 4: Trevor Lawrence that we talk about all the time.

1495
01:17:16,000 --> 01:17:18,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like that a lot. I like that a lot.

1496
01:17:19,000 --> 01:17:20,879
Speaker 2: And then that I would just leave New Orleans.

1497
01:17:22,200 --> 01:17:22,880
Speaker 3: Oh the Bears too.

1498
01:17:22,920 --> 01:17:24,479
Speaker 5: I have no idea what the Bears Chicago?

1499
01:17:24,600 --> 01:17:26,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't have a clue.

1500
01:17:26,000 --> 01:17:27,120
Speaker 5: I forget Chicago.

1501
01:17:27,800 --> 01:17:32,360
Speaker 3: I mean I think the Bears going to end up right. Yeah.

1502
01:17:32,479 --> 01:17:36,160
Speaker 4: McCarthy to the Saints is what everybody keeps echoing that.

1503
01:17:36,240 --> 01:17:39,320
Speaker 4: I hear it's like McCarthy to the Saints, the organization again,

1504
01:17:39,439 --> 01:17:42,320
Speaker 4: owners know him, you know he he seems to be

1505
01:17:42,400 --> 01:17:44,680
Speaker 4: pretty pretty happy with that. I don't know why he

1506
01:17:44,680 --> 01:17:46,720
Speaker 4: would take the Saints over the Bears personally, but.

1507
01:17:46,840 --> 01:17:49,320
Speaker 2: I mean I would take Chicago over New Orleans. I

1508
01:17:49,360 --> 01:17:51,800
Speaker 2: mean it's a complete rebuild the New Orleans.

1509
01:17:52,439 --> 01:17:55,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, a rebuild where you're hamstrung for at least another

1510
01:17:55,120 --> 01:17:59,719
Speaker 3: year with Carr Like, so you know the New Orleans.

1511
01:17:59,600 --> 01:18:02,559
Speaker 2: Name, I mean forget. But if you put McCarthy aside,

1512
01:18:02,920 --> 01:18:08,120
Speaker 2: what big name, Like, are you kidding me? Chicago? Like

1513
01:18:08,320 --> 01:18:11,759
Speaker 2: somebody's going it has to go into Chicago and fix

1514
01:18:11,880 --> 01:18:15,439
Speaker 2: that thing once and for all. It's such a great job,

1515
01:18:16,080 --> 01:18:21,960
Speaker 2: it's a great city, it's a great franchise. I don't

1516
01:18:22,000 --> 01:18:26,960
Speaker 2: understand why that they have an issue with fineing. Like,

1517
01:18:27,560 --> 01:18:30,200
Speaker 2: first of all, they were so stupid that they have

1518
01:18:30,360 --> 01:18:34,599
Speaker 2: hardball sitting there with interests and then I'll do it,

1519
01:18:34,680 --> 01:18:38,960
Speaker 2: I dude, That to me was the greatest mistake of

1520
01:18:39,160 --> 01:18:39,879
Speaker 2: all of them.

1521
01:18:42,040 --> 01:18:45,160
Speaker 4: That's a that's a defining mistake that set the organization

1522
01:18:45,280 --> 01:18:49,840
Speaker 4: back how many years, you know, And so yeah, it's

1523
01:18:49,920 --> 01:18:52,200
Speaker 4: wild to me that the Bears job just seems and

1524
01:18:52,240 --> 01:18:53,920
Speaker 4: this is the Bear's own fault like.

1525
01:18:54,680 --> 01:18:57,240
Speaker 3: Part of what Again, to go back to the structure.

1526
01:18:56,840 --> 01:18:59,080
Speaker 4: Of the organization, it feels like people don't believe that

1527
01:18:59,160 --> 01:19:01,200
Speaker 4: the GM and team press sooner they're on the same page,

1528
01:19:01,240 --> 01:19:02,880
Speaker 4: and that's not something they want to be a part of.

1529
01:19:02,960 --> 01:19:04,320
Speaker 3: So it's it's sad to.

1530
01:19:04,280 --> 01:19:06,000
Speaker 5: Me, it is.

1531
01:19:06,680 --> 01:19:10,599
Speaker 2: It's a great franchise, man, you know, it's the I

1532
01:19:10,600 --> 01:19:13,880
Speaker 2: can't believe the Bears would be in this sort of

1533
01:19:13,920 --> 01:19:15,759
Speaker 2: disserited that's crazy.

1534
01:19:16,120 --> 01:19:17,240
Speaker 5: Anyway, we'll come back.

1535
01:19:17,880 --> 01:19:21,679

1551
01:20:32,640 --> 01:20:34,920
Speaker 2: we've been all over the place and we're gonna get

1552
01:20:34,920 --> 01:20:37,720
Speaker 2: to Notre Dame in Ohio State coming up. We'll talk

1553
01:20:37,800 --> 01:20:42,840
Speaker 2: some Houston Texans, some Kansas City and some Texans as well.

1554
01:20:42,880 --> 01:20:47,479
Speaker 2: But the highlight of the entire weekend comes down the

1555
01:20:47,520 --> 01:20:50,080
Speaker 2: Sunday night in Buffalo two.

1556
01:20:50,479 --> 01:20:52,040
Speaker 5: I mean, great teams.

1557
01:20:52,640 --> 01:20:58,639
Speaker 2: The matchup is so compelling, the teams are so good

1558
01:20:59,640 --> 01:21:03,280
Speaker 2: and you know, it's the battle of the MVPs. I

1559
01:21:03,320 --> 01:21:06,600
Speaker 2: mean this this game has everything FITSI.

1560
01:21:07,520 --> 01:21:10,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, and look that they did a perfect job of

1561
01:21:10,680 --> 01:21:14,160
Speaker 4: putting this thing Sunday night. It's the whole weekend's gonna

1562
01:21:14,160 --> 01:21:19,280
Speaker 4: culminate with this one. These are the moments that unfortunately

1563
01:21:19,400 --> 01:21:22,840
Speaker 4: context won't matter because I could see a situation where

1564
01:21:22,880 --> 01:21:25,439
Speaker 4: both of these guys, both of these teams play lights

1565
01:21:25,439 --> 01:21:29,200
Speaker 4: out amazing football, and the narrative around whoever loses is

1566
01:21:29,200 --> 01:21:29,840
Speaker 4: still gonna be.

1567
01:21:29,800 --> 01:21:32,240
Speaker 3: Well, can't win that, but big, you know what I mean.

1568
01:21:32,320 --> 01:21:36,040
Speaker 4: Like, the unfortunate part about this is the whether it's

1569
01:21:36,120 --> 01:21:38,920
Speaker 4: Lamar or Josh Allen, somebody's gonna take a loss on

1570
01:21:38,960 --> 01:21:41,400
Speaker 4: the resume that suddenly is used against them in a

1571
01:21:41,439 --> 01:21:43,960
Speaker 4: quarter of law for future. You know, if Lamar loses,

1572
01:21:44,320 --> 01:21:46,960
Speaker 4: it's only going to fire up more people about well,

1573
01:21:47,000 --> 01:21:50,200
Speaker 4: you know, Lamar's just a regular season quarterback, instead of

1574
01:21:50,520 --> 01:21:53,680
Speaker 4: stepping back and enjoying it. I man, I think that

1575
01:21:53,760 --> 01:21:56,679
Speaker 4: this is one of the best games of the year.

1576
01:21:57,160 --> 01:21:59,080
Speaker 4: It's the best game we could imagine. It's gonna be

1577
01:21:59,080 --> 01:22:02,639
Speaker 4: the best game of the playoff, and frankly, these two teams.

1578
01:22:02,680 --> 01:22:04,559
Speaker 4: I'm just bummed that they're meeting now instead of in

1579
01:22:04,600 --> 01:22:06,760
Speaker 4: the super Bowl, because this feels like a super Bowl

1580
01:22:06,800 --> 01:22:07,559
Speaker 4: type matchup to me.

1581
01:22:08,080 --> 01:22:10,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's at least the ANFC championship game.

1582
01:22:11,439 --> 01:22:13,680
Speaker 5: But then again, you got the Chiefs right like, So

1583
01:22:13,760 --> 01:22:14,960
Speaker 5: it's it's.

1584
01:22:14,840 --> 01:22:19,960
Speaker 2: Wild that free free elites of elite of the elite teams.

1585
01:22:20,560 --> 01:22:24,080
Speaker 2: Obviously there's five eleague teams, three of them in the ANFC,

1586
01:22:24,320 --> 01:22:27,439
Speaker 2: two of them in the NFC with the Lions and Eagles.

1587
01:22:28,560 --> 01:22:33,599
Speaker 5: But that matchup and that setting Sunday night in.

1588
01:22:33,720 --> 01:22:39,040
Speaker 2: Buffalo, cold frigid Buffalo, it's going to snow, There'll be

1589
01:22:39,120 --> 01:22:42,800
Speaker 2: snow showers. They're looking at about an inch of snow

1590
01:22:42,840 --> 01:22:45,519
Speaker 2: will fall while the game will be played. It'll be

1591
01:22:46,120 --> 01:22:50,439
Speaker 2: a perfect setting for you know, Josh Allen and Lamar.

1592
01:22:52,520 --> 01:22:54,679
Speaker 2: I mean, I can't tell you I can't pick the game.

1593
01:22:54,800 --> 01:22:57,519
Speaker 2: I mean, I'll be honest. I think I don't think

1594
01:22:57,560 --> 01:23:00,720
Speaker 2: anybody's got I do ontly anybody can sit here and

1595
01:23:00,760 --> 01:23:05,400
Speaker 2: say that they feel strongly about a side. With these

1596
01:23:05,439 --> 01:23:09,559
Speaker 2: two teams that are so evenly matched. I mean, you know,

1597
01:23:09,760 --> 01:23:13,479
Speaker 2: you could make a case for either team easily. It's

1598
01:23:13,640 --> 01:23:18,320
Speaker 2: the matchups are compelling, you know, they're kind of mirrored

1599
01:23:18,320 --> 01:23:21,559
Speaker 2: image in a lot of ways, the least defensively as well.

1600
01:23:21,680 --> 01:23:25,599
Speaker 2: There it's it's it's almost the perfect game.

1601
01:23:25,880 --> 01:23:26,080
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1602
01:23:26,080 --> 01:23:29,120
Speaker 4: And by the way, it's a game to be fully transparent,

1603
01:23:29,120 --> 01:23:31,240
Speaker 4: I wouldn't bet a dollar on if all I had

1604
01:23:31,280 --> 01:23:33,759
Speaker 4: was a dollar to bet, Like I just there's if

1605
01:23:33,800 --> 01:23:35,360
Speaker 4: I had a million dollars to bet, I still wouldn't

1606
01:23:35,360 --> 01:23:38,320
Speaker 4: bet a dollar on it. This one's too close to call, yeah,

1607
01:23:38,479 --> 01:23:41,120
Speaker 4: And there's there are so many ways that this game

1608
01:23:41,200 --> 01:23:43,760
Speaker 4: can break that are going to be interesting to me.

1609
01:23:44,000 --> 01:23:48,080
Speaker 4: And anytime it's this close, you know. And I gotta

1610
01:23:48,080 --> 01:23:51,080
Speaker 4: get Baltimore a lot of credit there. Their defense was

1611
01:23:51,080 --> 01:23:53,080
Speaker 4: a liability in the first half of the season. It's

1612
01:23:53,080 --> 01:23:55,160
Speaker 4: got much better than the second half of the season.

1613
01:23:55,280 --> 01:23:58,800
Speaker 4: It really has. And when the season started I kept

1614
01:23:58,800 --> 01:24:00,519
Speaker 4: screaming at the time I had I don't think there's

1615
01:24:00,520 --> 01:24:03,759
Speaker 4: a tougher offense to take on other than the Ravens

1616
01:24:03,760 --> 01:24:05,640
Speaker 4: if they're firing on all cylinders. And you were the

1617
01:24:05,640 --> 01:24:07,599
Speaker 4: one that pushed back and said, well, okay, well how's

1618
01:24:07,600 --> 01:24:09,519
Speaker 4: that different than the Eagles? That it really opened my

1619
01:24:09,560 --> 01:24:12,640
Speaker 4: mind to it. I think I still stand by the

1620
01:24:12,680 --> 01:24:15,519
Speaker 4: Eagles and the Ravens are the two toughest offenses to

1621
01:24:15,640 --> 01:24:18,080
Speaker 4: just decide you're going to take away because they can

1622
01:24:18,120 --> 01:24:20,840
Speaker 4: do so many things so well, and because even with

1623
01:24:20,960 --> 01:24:24,559
Speaker 4: the Zeitler injury for the Lions, for example, Like we

1624
01:24:24,600 --> 01:24:27,519
Speaker 4: talk so much about offensive lines, you just look across

1625
01:24:27,560 --> 01:24:30,040
Speaker 4: the board. These teams that are left have to get

1626
01:24:30,120 --> 01:24:32,679
Speaker 4: quality offensive line play. The Eagles have a lead offensive

1627
01:24:32,680 --> 01:24:35,960
Speaker 4: line play. The Ravens have gotten at least better offensive

1628
01:24:36,000 --> 01:24:37,760
Speaker 4: line play throughout the course of the year. That makes

1629
01:24:37,800 --> 01:24:40,559
Speaker 4: things easier and easier for him. So, man, I just

1630
01:24:40,840 --> 01:24:43,360
Speaker 4: I don't know. This offense can beat you so many ways.

1631
01:24:43,439 --> 01:24:46,679
Speaker 4: It's just that I know Josh Allen and I respect

1632
01:24:46,680 --> 01:24:49,120
Speaker 4: so much that the Bills have Superman at quarterback.

1633
01:24:49,520 --> 01:24:51,439
Speaker 3: But I just if.

1634
01:24:51,280 --> 01:24:55,040
Speaker 4: I was staying up all night restless trying to figure

1635
01:24:55,040 --> 01:24:57,280
Speaker 4: out how to slow down one team, the Ravens are

1636
01:24:57,280 --> 01:24:59,000
Speaker 4: the team that make me more nervous than the Bills.

1637
01:24:59,280 --> 01:25:02,200
Speaker 5: Why that's that's uh, that's interesting.

1638
01:25:02,680 --> 01:25:06,000
Speaker 3: So let's let let's I'll scare you more than the Ravens.

1639
01:25:06,120 --> 01:25:06,720
Speaker 5: I don't know.

1640
01:25:06,960 --> 01:25:10,519
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm honestly, I'm thinking about it, So I

1641
01:25:10,600 --> 01:25:13,080
Speaker 2: get your point. I mean, first of all, Lamar is

1642
01:25:13,400 --> 01:25:17,320
Speaker 2: you know, I mean, he's ridiculous, right, Like no, Zay

1643
01:25:17,520 --> 01:25:25,600
Speaker 2: Flowers makes that question harder. Right with Jay Flowers, I

1644
01:25:25,640 --> 01:25:31,760
Speaker 2: would say, yes nose Flowers. Uh, you know, I mean

1645
01:25:31,800 --> 01:25:35,760
Speaker 2: all you got to Bateman, right. I don't like Agalar.

1646
01:25:37,920 --> 01:25:41,840
Speaker 2: I mean what now Lamar is ridiculous what he does

1647
01:25:41,840 --> 01:25:45,000
Speaker 2: with just the tight ends right, Like he'll get you

1648
01:25:45,080 --> 01:25:52,880
Speaker 2: Andrews and likely and and roll. He's just so incredible

1649
01:25:52,920 --> 01:25:56,559
Speaker 2: the way he's playing, because he's a phantom with his

1650
01:25:56,680 --> 01:25:59,800
Speaker 2: legs and he'll just make a play. Could be the

1651
01:26:00,000 --> 01:26:03,599
Speaker 2: else is Hill out of the backfield right on a wheel,

1652
01:26:03,760 --> 01:26:10,800
Speaker 2: Like he'll make a play, Josh. I mean, he's got

1653
01:26:10,800 --> 01:26:13,280
Speaker 2: the better weapons, although you know it's not like that.

1654
01:26:13,400 --> 01:26:20,200
Speaker 2: They're they're the Chiefs, are the you know, the Eagles receivers, right,

1655
01:26:21,160 --> 01:26:27,120
Speaker 2: but you know, I do like Shakur and Calman is

1656
01:26:27,240 --> 01:26:31,559
Speaker 2: back healthy, and the Cooper things weird. I thought he

1657
01:26:31,560 --> 01:26:35,639
Speaker 2: would have a bigger role that you know. I mean,

1658
01:26:35,960 --> 01:26:38,400
Speaker 2: you know, I was kind of surprised that thought Cooper

1659
01:26:38,400 --> 01:26:41,440
Speaker 2: would contribute more, didn't you?

1660
01:26:41,439 --> 01:26:43,200
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, on hundred percent, Like I thought that the

1661
01:26:43,200 --> 01:26:45,280
Speaker 4: trade deadline that was going to be epic.

1662
01:26:45,720 --> 01:26:48,800
Speaker 3: I really genuinely believed.

1663
01:26:48,360 --> 01:26:51,280
Speaker 4: That that was going to be the great lift, and

1664
01:26:51,720 --> 01:26:56,240
Speaker 4: it's just been irrelevant. And you know, I will go back,

1665
01:26:56,280 --> 01:26:59,439
Speaker 4: as I constantly do, to talking to somebody that coached

1666
01:26:59,520 --> 01:27:03,439
Speaker 4: him in the past, asking Hey, why why was Amari

1667
01:27:03,560 --> 01:27:07,040
Speaker 4: so inconsistent? And I asked that question directly, and his

1668
01:27:07,160 --> 01:27:09,240
Speaker 4: former coach looked at me dead in the eyes and said,

1669
01:27:09,240 --> 01:27:10,920
Speaker 4: if I knew that, I'd probably still have a job.

1670
01:27:11,320 --> 01:27:12,760
Speaker 3: And as much as we.

1671
01:27:12,760 --> 01:27:16,559
Speaker 4: Laughed about it, he said flat out that they he

1672
01:27:16,680 --> 01:27:18,800
Speaker 4: never worked with anybody in the locker room that was

1673
01:27:18,960 --> 01:27:23,360
Speaker 4: more up and down as far as like detached or not,

1674
01:27:23,720 --> 01:27:26,000
Speaker 4: you know, like all in it or all out of it.

1675
01:27:26,040 --> 01:27:28,280
Speaker 4: And it could be as simple as somebody said something

1676
01:27:28,320 --> 01:27:30,439
Speaker 4: that hurt his feelings one day and he'd be out

1677
01:27:30,439 --> 01:27:32,160
Speaker 4: for the rest of the week in practice mentally. And

1678
01:27:32,200 --> 01:27:34,799
Speaker 4: you could tell, and look at his game log performance

1679
01:27:34,840 --> 01:27:38,160
Speaker 4: you can see some weeks of Mari Cooper is absolutely dominant.

1680
01:27:38,200 --> 01:27:40,840
Speaker 4: In some weeks SA MARII Cooper is absolutely invisible. And

1681
01:27:40,920 --> 01:27:44,519
Speaker 4: I just I'll never be able to make that sense. Yeah,

1682
01:27:44,560 --> 01:27:45,200
Speaker 4: I'll never.

1683
01:27:45,040 --> 01:27:49,920
Speaker 2: Be so interesting that you say that. That explains a

1684
01:27:49,960 --> 01:27:51,960
Speaker 2: lot to me. I didn't know any of this. That

1685
01:27:52,080 --> 01:27:56,240
Speaker 2: explains a lot that as to why he's so wildly inconsistent.

1686
01:27:57,080 --> 01:28:01,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, and it was. It was very clear that he

1687
01:28:01,360 --> 01:28:03,000
Speaker 4: made it very clear. The person I was talking to

1688
01:28:03,080 --> 01:28:05,519
Speaker 4: made it very clear that it could be somebody. It

1689
01:28:05,680 --> 01:28:07,920
Speaker 4: just somebody in the locker room could say something to him,

1690
01:28:07,960 --> 01:28:10,200
Speaker 4: like a player or just you know, an assistant coach

1691
01:28:10,280 --> 01:28:12,800
Speaker 4: or whatever, say something to him that just rubbed him

1692
01:28:12,840 --> 01:28:15,280
Speaker 4: the wrong way, and all of a sudden, you know,

1693
01:28:15,360 --> 01:28:17,639
Speaker 4: you just got a different version of Amari for days.

1694
01:28:17,920 --> 01:28:21,400
Speaker 4: And so, I mean, we've seen that now. When I

1695
01:28:21,439 --> 01:28:23,639
Speaker 4: talk to people that covered him with the Cowboys, they'll

1696
01:28:23,640 --> 01:28:25,639
Speaker 4: tell you that it felt like things really turned around

1697
01:28:25,680 --> 01:28:27,519
Speaker 4: for him when he got to Dallas and got away

1698
01:28:27,520 --> 01:28:30,840
Speaker 4: from the Raiders. So you know, but still, look, the

1699
01:28:30,920 --> 01:28:33,280
Speaker 4: inconsistency has been there his entire career. He'll have a

1700
01:28:33,280 --> 01:28:35,280
Speaker 4: two hundred and fifty yard game and the next week

1701
01:28:35,560 --> 01:28:38,560
Speaker 4: one catch for seven yards. It's just Amari, give it,

1702
01:28:38,640 --> 01:28:40,880
Speaker 4: then take it away. I thought going to the Bills

1703
01:28:40,920 --> 01:28:44,080
Speaker 4: midway through the season would inject him with this level

1704
01:28:44,080 --> 01:28:46,679
Speaker 4: of man, this is my chance to win a chip

1705
01:28:46,800 --> 01:28:48,720
Speaker 4: and to show the world who I am and to

1706
01:28:49,200 --> 01:28:52,040
Speaker 4: build my legacy to a higher level. And instead it's

1707
01:28:52,120 --> 01:28:54,080
Speaker 4: just like I mean, injury was part of it. And

1708
01:28:54,080 --> 01:28:55,640
Speaker 4: now it's just irrelevance.

1709
01:28:56,439 --> 01:28:59,800
Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah, I mean those who get the value at.

1710
01:28:59,720 --> 01:29:01,120
Speaker 3: All, Nope.

1711
01:29:02,960 --> 01:29:04,920
Speaker 4: But this is an offense that would give it to him.

1712
01:29:05,120 --> 01:29:07,080
Speaker 4: I mean, this is a It's not like someone else

1713
01:29:07,160 --> 01:29:09,759
Speaker 4: is stealing the volume. It was there for the taking.

1714
01:29:10,320 --> 01:29:13,040
Speaker 4: It's just whether it's it's taken him a minute to

1715
01:29:13,040 --> 01:29:15,600
Speaker 4: figure this offense out, which would be a shame, or

1716
01:29:15,640 --> 01:29:18,160
Speaker 4: whether it's because it just hasn't been a personality click,

1717
01:29:18,280 --> 01:29:22,679
Speaker 4: he's just he's worse than bad. He's irrelevant. And that's

1718
01:29:22,840 --> 01:29:25,920
Speaker 4: that's staggering for somebody that talented, Well.

1719
01:29:25,800 --> 01:29:28,720
Speaker 5: Their offense is odd, right, because.

1720
01:29:29,960 --> 01:29:34,000
Speaker 2: You know it's so well, it's such a good offense

1721
01:29:35,400 --> 01:29:38,920
Speaker 2: that you know what, it's a different guy every week.

1722
01:29:39,280 --> 01:29:42,679
Speaker 2: It's a different style every week. You know, we saw

1723
01:29:42,720 --> 01:29:45,800
Speaker 2: the Cook game. We saw the Josh Allen run. Yeah,

1724
01:29:45,800 --> 01:29:47,719
Speaker 2: I think we'll see a lot more Josh Allen running

1725
01:29:47,720 --> 01:29:51,880
Speaker 2: the football on Sunday Night. We've seen you know, Dalt

1726
01:29:52,080 --> 01:29:57,799
Speaker 2: Cocade big plays, right, We've seen you know Mac Hollins

1727
01:29:57,840 --> 01:29:59,759
Speaker 2: make a couple of big plays down the field.

1728
01:30:00,800 --> 01:30:01,200
Speaker 3: Uh.

1729
01:30:01,600 --> 01:30:05,439
Speaker 5: We've seen secure right Shakier making plays.

1730
01:30:05,800 --> 01:30:08,000
Speaker 3: Uh. Le's a league in yards after catch.

1731
01:30:08,400 --> 01:30:12,880
Speaker 4: I know it's crazy Matt Collins, Like Matt Collins is

1732
01:30:12,920 --> 01:30:17,840
Speaker 4: a a mid wide receiver at best, and he's become

1733
01:30:17,880 --> 01:30:19,200
Speaker 4: an important part of this offense.

1734
01:30:19,640 --> 01:30:23,120
Speaker 2: Dude, he was in Philadelphia years ago when they needed receiver.

1735
01:30:23,240 --> 01:30:26,280
Speaker 2: So I mean, you know you're you're spot on. But

1736
01:30:26,360 --> 01:30:29,519
Speaker 2: this offense is so interesting, man, because you know they

1737
01:30:29,560 --> 01:30:32,320
Speaker 2: do it. It's because of Allen that it goes again.

1738
01:30:33,240 --> 01:30:35,320
Speaker 2: That's why he is what he you know, that's why

1739
01:30:35,320 --> 01:30:39,760
Speaker 2: he is him. It's in many ways it's similar, right,

1740
01:30:39,840 --> 01:30:43,040
Speaker 2: Like they have two tight ends. I mean, I don't

1741
01:30:43,040 --> 01:30:47,639
Speaker 2: think it's dynamic as Andrews unlikely, but Kinkaiden knocks are

1742
01:30:47,840 --> 01:30:54,800
Speaker 2: really good, right, and the way Josh uses him, I mean, dude,

1743
01:30:54,800 --> 01:30:58,320
Speaker 2: they're so evenly Matt, and defensively they're similar.

1744
01:30:58,720 --> 01:31:02,519
Speaker 5: They're similar, except maybe Buffalo.

1745
01:31:02,080 --> 01:31:05,080
Speaker 2: A little more vulnerable, a little better against the pass

1746
01:31:05,120 --> 01:31:07,800
Speaker 2: than the run, and vice versa with Baltimore.

1747
01:31:07,840 --> 01:31:10,320
Speaker 5: But Baltimore's better against the run, the argainst the pass.

1748
01:31:11,520 --> 01:31:12,639
Speaker 3: That's god.

1749
01:31:12,960 --> 01:31:15,800
Speaker 4: I mean, this game and through our whole conversation, I

1750
01:31:15,840 --> 01:31:18,439
Speaker 4: have gotten only more confident that this game is a

1751
01:31:18,439 --> 01:31:20,120
Speaker 4: flip of the coin, and I have no damn idea

1752
01:31:20,160 --> 01:31:24,160
Speaker 4: who's gonna win. Which is awesome. I mean it's because

1753
01:31:24,200 --> 01:31:26,559
Speaker 4: I don't have a rooting interest in either of these teams.

1754
01:31:26,600 --> 01:31:29,400
Speaker 3: It's just fun to know that this game should give

1755
01:31:29,479 --> 01:31:31,960
Speaker 3: us the best of what the NFL has to offer

1756
01:31:32,000 --> 01:31:34,559
Speaker 3: this year. Like, that's just I.

1757
01:31:34,520 --> 01:31:39,080
Speaker 4: Cannot wait to see the herculean efforts needed on third

1758
01:31:39,080 --> 01:31:42,519
Speaker 4: and six late in the game from two guys that

1759
01:31:42,760 --> 01:31:45,559
Speaker 4: just have absolutely all year found a way to make

1760
01:31:45,600 --> 01:31:50,639
Speaker 4: third and six convertible consistently, It's just god. And then

1761
01:31:51,080 --> 01:31:54,080
Speaker 4: what defense can get the opportunistic stop who can come

1762
01:31:54,160 --> 01:31:57,120
Speaker 4: up with a big play, Like, it's just man, This

1763
01:31:58,240 --> 01:31:59,720
Speaker 4: heroes will be made out of this game.

1764
01:32:00,040 --> 01:32:01,920
Speaker 3: Ball heroes. I should say, we'll be made out of

1765
01:32:01,960 --> 01:32:02,400
Speaker 3: this game.

1766
01:32:03,400 --> 01:32:06,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love that saying. I do love I love

1767
01:32:06,320 --> 01:32:10,200
Speaker 2: that saying. Football heroes will be made for this game.

1768
01:32:10,320 --> 01:32:14,800
Speaker 2: It's got it all and it is. This setting not perfect,

1769
01:32:15,479 --> 01:32:20,200
Speaker 2: Sunday night in Buffalo. I love Buffalo, but I love

1770
01:32:20,280 --> 01:32:24,679
Speaker 2: those people, man. I love the fact that they care

1771
01:32:24,920 --> 01:32:28,240
Speaker 2: so deeply about the sport like they wear it.

1772
01:32:28,400 --> 01:32:29,000
Speaker 5: They love it.

1773
01:32:29,040 --> 01:32:32,840
Speaker 2: They're gonna be wild, right, They'll be out there tailgate,

1774
01:32:33,320 --> 01:32:37,120
Speaker 2: you know, for eight hours before ten hours before the

1775
01:32:37,200 --> 01:32:38,639
Speaker 2: kickoff tomorrow Sunday night.

1776
01:32:39,720 --> 01:32:42,160
Speaker 4: I mean you and I both again in New England.

1777
01:32:42,200 --> 01:32:44,000
Speaker 4: I don't know what your forecast is, but we're gonna

1778
01:32:44,000 --> 01:32:48,839
Speaker 4: get hammered with snow and I cannot wait to just hammered.

1779
01:32:48,840 --> 01:32:51,759
Speaker 4: I mean six inches, you know, three to six inches

1780
01:32:51,760 --> 01:32:54,120
Speaker 4: in Connecticut isn't hammered. But I can't wait to be

1781
01:32:54,160 --> 01:32:57,599
Speaker 4: snowed in and just man, pop the feet up and

1782
01:32:57,680 --> 01:32:58,599
Speaker 4: just watch this thing.

1783
01:32:58,880 --> 01:33:01,280
Speaker 2: So we're going to get it to right, like we're

1784
01:33:01,280 --> 01:33:07,960
Speaker 2: gonna get it. We're somewhere around you know, one to three,

1785
01:33:08,080 --> 01:33:12,720
Speaker 2: two to four inches on Sunday, So it's gonna be

1786
01:33:12,720 --> 01:33:17,040
Speaker 2: fun because you could have two games with while it's snowing,

1787
01:33:17,880 --> 01:33:21,040
Speaker 2: So Sunday could be a blast when it comes to that,

1788
01:33:21,120 --> 01:33:26,200
Speaker 2: it's funny. I was talking to my cousin, my cousin Joey, and.

1789
01:33:25,760 --> 01:33:27,240
Speaker 4: I knew it was gonna be an e name at

1790
01:33:27,240 --> 01:33:28,400
Speaker 4: the end. I didn't know if it was gonna be

1791
01:33:28,479 --> 01:33:30,519
Speaker 4: Vinny Joey Frankie.

1792
01:33:30,520 --> 01:33:31,479
Speaker 3: Go ahead, you were talking to.

1793
01:33:31,360 --> 01:33:36,200
Speaker 2: You, Yeah, my cousin, Joey's like my h my best friend.

1794
01:33:36,240 --> 01:33:39,519
Speaker 2: Like we you know, we're raised together, so you know

1795
01:33:39,600 --> 01:33:43,559
Speaker 2: he's we're both you know, obviously huge Eagles fans. You know,

1796
01:33:44,000 --> 01:33:47,040
Speaker 2: spent our lives going to games and from the vet

1797
01:33:47,120 --> 01:33:52,200
Speaker 2: on and we were talking yesterday about the Eagles game

1798
01:33:52,360 --> 01:33:56,280
Speaker 2: and he's like, dude, he's like, you should come over

1799
01:33:56,400 --> 01:33:58,600
Speaker 2: after the Eagles game because I'll beat the game. He's like,

1800
01:33:58,640 --> 01:34:01,360
Speaker 2: you should come over after the game. And watched the

1801
01:34:01,880 --> 01:34:06,200
Speaker 2: watch Buffalo Baltimore. Still, I'm almost looking forward to that

1802
01:34:06,960 --> 01:34:10,120
Speaker 2: more than the Eagles game because it is a true

1803
01:34:10,160 --> 01:34:15,720
Speaker 2: football fan. That's the gem of the weekend. Like it

1804
01:34:15,800 --> 01:34:19,920
Speaker 2: always goes, you're a football fan first, your team is second.

1805
01:34:20,320 --> 01:34:24,160
Speaker 2: And I mean that that I cannot wait to watch.

1806
01:34:24,479 --> 01:34:24,639
Speaker 3: Man.

1807
01:34:24,760 --> 01:34:28,599
Speaker 4: It's it's funny because I could make a I mean

1808
01:34:28,640 --> 01:34:32,240
Speaker 4: I know, I've sat here and basically predicted, you know,

1809
01:34:32,320 --> 01:34:35,559
Speaker 4: comfortable wins across the board. I could make a I think,

1810
01:34:35,600 --> 01:34:39,559
Speaker 4: a pretty compelling case for an upset in every game.

1811
01:34:40,320 --> 01:34:41,160
Speaker 3: I mean that's like.

1812
01:34:41,680 --> 01:34:44,880
Speaker 4: Even even the Texans game, which we haven't we haven't

1813
01:34:44,880 --> 01:34:47,640
Speaker 4: addressed Texans taken on the Chiefs. Yes, I think the

1814
01:34:47,720 --> 01:34:50,080
Speaker 4: Chiefs are gonna win, But if you wanted to make

1815
01:34:50,120 --> 01:34:53,000
Speaker 4: a case for the Texans, it's it's there to be made.

1816
01:34:53,080 --> 01:34:54,840
Speaker 3: I mean, you can easily.

1817
01:34:55,080 --> 01:34:59,400
Speaker 2: That's the one game I don't see. I don't see

1818
01:34:59,479 --> 01:35:02,320
Speaker 2: any half for a Texas win.

1819
01:35:04,439 --> 01:35:07,760
Speaker 4: Look, I know that they've made some changes on the

1820
01:35:07,760 --> 01:35:10,840
Speaker 4: offensive line that's really helped the Chiefs offensive line over

1821
01:35:10,840 --> 01:35:12,360
Speaker 4: the course of the last month, which is a big

1822
01:35:12,400 --> 01:35:14,800
Speaker 4: part of why they're playing better. But this is an

1823
01:35:14,840 --> 01:35:19,040
Speaker 4: offensive line that, until they moved tuning out to tackle,

1824
01:35:20,000 --> 01:35:23,880
Speaker 4: had its susceptible moments taken on a defensive line that

1825
01:35:23,960 --> 01:35:27,400
Speaker 4: can get after the quarterback. So can they disrupt it there?

1826
01:35:27,520 --> 01:35:29,920
Speaker 4: I think is question number one. And then the other

1827
01:35:29,960 --> 01:35:32,040
Speaker 4: part of it is, I mean, look, you don't beat

1828
01:35:32,080 --> 01:35:35,800
Speaker 4: the Chiefs in close games. I understand that nobody beats

1829
01:35:35,840 --> 01:35:38,719
Speaker 4: the Chiefs in close games, but the Chiefs also play

1830
01:35:38,760 --> 01:35:40,880
Speaker 4: a lot of close games. And so now, like you

1831
01:35:40,880 --> 01:35:44,280
Speaker 4: look at this thing and you say, okay, the Chiefs

1832
01:35:44,320 --> 01:35:48,000
Speaker 4: Texans late in the third quarter was a tie game?

1833
01:35:48,880 --> 01:35:52,120
Speaker 4: What a few weeks ago, right like that was the

1834
01:35:52,439 --> 01:35:54,439
Speaker 4: Chiefs ended up winning that game. I'm looking it up here.

1835
01:35:54,600 --> 01:35:57,639
Speaker 4: They won that game by eight. That was a close game.

1836
01:35:58,439 --> 01:35:58,719
Speaker 3: CJ.

1837
01:35:58,800 --> 01:36:00,920
Speaker 4: Stroud had a couple of stupid pix in that game.

1838
01:36:01,000 --> 01:36:03,400
Speaker 4: I mean, I don't feel great about it if Joe

1839
01:36:03,400 --> 01:36:07,280
Speaker 4: Mixon can't go, But man, I don't know. I look

1840
01:36:07,320 --> 01:36:09,240
Speaker 4: at this and say, okay, the Chiefs play nothing but

1841
01:36:09,280 --> 01:36:12,120
Speaker 4: close games. Their offensive line has had some issues, and

1842
01:36:12,360 --> 01:36:14,360
Speaker 4: the strength of the Texans defense is going to be

1843
01:36:14,400 --> 01:36:16,439
Speaker 4: able to get after him. And the Texans were a

1844
01:36:16,439 --> 01:36:19,400
Speaker 4: team that we all rode off against the Chargers and

1845
01:36:19,400 --> 01:36:22,439
Speaker 4: then went in and knock the snot out of them too. Like,

1846
01:36:22,520 --> 01:36:26,160
Speaker 4: I'm not counting the Texans. I don't think they'll get

1847
01:36:26,160 --> 01:36:28,519
Speaker 4: blown out. I think they'll lose, but I can find

1848
01:36:28,520 --> 01:36:29,679
Speaker 4: a path that will win that way.

1849
01:36:30,120 --> 01:36:34,000
Speaker 2: Well, it's interesting, I can't. I do think they get

1850
01:36:34,000 --> 01:36:37,280
Speaker 2: blown out. I don't think their defense will hold up.

1851
01:36:38,560 --> 01:36:41,000
Speaker 2: I love their front, but I don't think their back

1852
01:36:41,080 --> 01:36:46,400
Speaker 2: end will hold up. And you know, I mean, tell

1853
01:36:46,439 --> 01:36:48,120
Speaker 2: me how they're going to score enough.

1854
01:36:48,479 --> 01:36:50,599
Speaker 3: No, that is okay, that is a problem.

1855
01:36:50,960 --> 01:36:55,000
Speaker 2: And I love and I love Nico right, Nico Connins

1856
01:36:55,120 --> 01:36:59,320
Speaker 2: is terrific if tag Dell were playing, if Nixon were

1857
01:36:59,320 --> 01:37:03,599
Speaker 2: one hundred percent, And speaking of old lines, I don't

1858
01:37:03,600 --> 01:37:05,120
Speaker 2: trust that euston O line.

1859
01:37:05,560 --> 01:37:08,000
Speaker 5: The game changed last week.

1860
01:37:08,080 --> 01:37:12,560
Speaker 2: When CJ started to run and they had some success

1861
01:37:13,040 --> 01:37:15,479
Speaker 2: because CJ. Strouds started to run the ball and he

1862
01:37:15,560 --> 01:37:17,960
Speaker 2: kind of flipped the switch. It was a weird game

1863
01:37:18,000 --> 01:37:22,280
Speaker 2: of momentum. And then the Texans took over. I don't

1864
01:37:22,280 --> 01:37:25,960
Speaker 2: see I don't see that. In Kansas City. They're too

1865
01:37:25,960 --> 01:37:31,320
Speaker 2: good defensively, they're getting healthy defensively, and and Andy's too

1866
01:37:31,439 --> 01:37:34,640
Speaker 2: good of a game called a game like you know,

1867
01:37:34,760 --> 01:37:38,240
Speaker 2: a game plan, like I could see the scripts. I

1868
01:37:38,320 --> 01:37:41,960
Speaker 2: see the Chiefs going out and scoring right away. I

1869
01:37:42,240 --> 01:37:45,120
Speaker 2: don't think this is a slip up. I know there's rust,

1870
01:37:45,240 --> 01:37:47,360
Speaker 2: and they haven't played in a month, and then my

1871
01:37:47,479 --> 01:37:51,320
Speaker 2: homes and you know, they've looked vulnerable at times. I

1872
01:37:51,360 --> 01:37:54,000
Speaker 2: think they're at their best, you know. I mean you

1873
01:37:54,080 --> 01:37:58,559
Speaker 2: mentioned Tony kicking out the tackle that fixed that. They

1874
01:37:58,640 --> 01:38:03,520
Speaker 2: got re receivers now, right, because now you've got Hopkins,

1875
01:38:04,439 --> 01:38:08,120
Speaker 2: you got Worthy, and you got Hollywood brown Back. You

1876
01:38:08,240 --> 01:38:11,880
Speaker 2: still got Kelsey, you got both running backs healthy.

1877
01:38:12,520 --> 01:38:16,920
Speaker 5: I mean, don't they have no look?

1878
01:38:16,960 --> 01:38:19,400
Speaker 4: And the biggest part of this is there are certain

1879
01:38:19,439 --> 01:38:22,360
Speaker 4: things like I don't okay, like I never mess with

1880
01:38:22,360 --> 01:38:22,960
Speaker 4: my taxes.

1881
01:38:23,120 --> 01:38:25,240
Speaker 3: I don't. I don't fudge anything.

1882
01:38:25,680 --> 01:38:28,479
Speaker 4: I've been audited enough times in my life as a musician,

1883
01:38:28,600 --> 01:38:29,280
Speaker 4: like I am.

1884
01:38:29,240 --> 01:38:31,559
Speaker 3: As above the board as you could possibly be.

1885
01:38:32,040 --> 01:38:34,479
Speaker 4: I don't mess with my taxes. I say that because

1886
01:38:34,520 --> 01:38:36,000
Speaker 4: like I don't mess with Andy Reid.

1887
01:38:36,000 --> 01:38:36,720
Speaker 3: After a bye week.

1888
01:38:36,800 --> 01:38:38,719
Speaker 4: It's just it's as sure as like you're never gonna

1889
01:38:38,720 --> 01:38:40,679
Speaker 4: get away with it. You never get away with Andy

1890
01:38:40,720 --> 01:38:42,479
Speaker 4: Reid after the after a bye week, if he has

1891
01:38:42,520 --> 01:38:44,760
Speaker 4: a week off to get ready for something, you're never

1892
01:38:44,760 --> 01:38:46,320
Speaker 4: gonna win. Like you got to pick and choose your

1893
01:38:46,360 --> 01:38:48,360
Speaker 4: spots in life. I think that the Chiefs are gonna

1894
01:38:48,360 --> 01:38:50,040
Speaker 4: win because Andy Reid.

1895
01:38:49,880 --> 01:38:51,639
Speaker 3: Never loses after a bye week. Click.

1896
01:38:51,920 --> 01:38:53,679
Speaker 4: And you don't beat my Homes in a close game.

1897
01:38:53,920 --> 01:38:57,840
Speaker 4: That being said, and also justin Herbert melted down against

1898
01:38:57,880 --> 01:39:00,920
Speaker 4: the Texans. The four picks were you know, not all

1899
01:39:00,960 --> 01:39:03,440
Speaker 4: of them completely his fault, but that was just a

1900
01:39:03,479 --> 01:39:05,840
Speaker 4: pitiful effort. Mahomes isn't gonna do that. Now, I'm talking

1901
01:39:05,920 --> 01:39:07,800
Speaker 4: myself out of there. Now it's gonna be a slaughter. No,

1902
01:39:08,439 --> 01:39:10,680
Speaker 4: I'm just saying, you can find a path, Anthony. That's

1903
01:39:10,720 --> 01:39:12,599
Speaker 4: all I'm saying. You can find a path.

1904
01:39:12,760 --> 01:39:15,000
Speaker 2: That's the only one. I'm struggling to find the path.

1905
01:39:16,320 --> 01:39:17,920
Speaker 2: Like I give you a path. I gave you a

1906
01:39:17,960 --> 01:39:22,720
Speaker 2: path for Detroit. I mean, for Washington to scare Detroit.

1907
01:39:23,920 --> 01:39:25,960
Speaker 2: I even gave you a path for the Rams. And

1908
01:39:26,160 --> 01:39:28,320
Speaker 2: I don't think that game's gonna be close. But I

1909
01:39:28,400 --> 01:39:32,559
Speaker 2: give you a path of Kyron Williams right running the ball.

1910
01:39:32,680 --> 01:39:38,280
Speaker 2: They maybe there's a turnover to it's snow fan footing,

1911
01:39:38,960 --> 01:39:44,040
Speaker 2: and the Rams galvanized by what's happened with the fires

1912
01:39:44,080 --> 01:39:48,160
Speaker 2: in southern California and they go pull the upset. All right,

1913
01:39:48,439 --> 01:39:54,479
Speaker 2: I don't say it, but I can understand that path.

1914
01:39:54,600 --> 01:39:59,240
Speaker 2: I can understand the path of Jaden Daniels, who's the

1915
01:39:59,320 --> 01:40:01,599
Speaker 2: money man, and at the end of the game, and

1916
01:40:01,720 --> 01:40:06,599
Speaker 2: Jayden Daniels as Washington wins first down, and they got

1917
01:40:06,720 --> 01:40:09,799
Speaker 2: nine play drives in ten play drives in twelve play drives,

1918
01:40:10,080 --> 01:40:12,880
Speaker 2: and they're able to hold onto the football limit possessions,

1919
01:40:13,200 --> 01:40:17,160
Speaker 2: and they could shock the world because Detroit missed on

1920
01:40:17,200 --> 01:40:22,400
Speaker 2: a fourth down. They started to press, and the Washington wins,

1921
01:40:22,479 --> 01:40:25,559
Speaker 2: you know, twenty seven to twenty four. Right, I could

1922
01:40:25,560 --> 01:40:28,080
Speaker 2: see it. I mean, I don't think it's gonna happen.

1923
01:40:28,080 --> 01:40:30,040
Speaker 2: I think the Trore will win, but I could see

1924
01:40:30,080 --> 01:40:35,000
Speaker 2: a plausible path. I can't come up with a storyline,

1925
01:40:35,040 --> 01:40:39,960
Speaker 2: a game script where the Texans win. I'll tell you what,

1926
01:40:40,720 --> 01:40:43,000
Speaker 2: think about it, all right, we gotta take care of

1927
01:40:43,000 --> 01:40:45,960
Speaker 2: and pay some bills. Think about it and give me

1928
01:40:46,000 --> 01:40:50,599
Speaker 2: your give me your path where the fellas right here

Speaker 5: So what are you going to do for these games? Dude?

1936
01:41:15,840 --> 01:41:18,120
Speaker 5: Like what you're playing for the weekend?

1937
01:41:18,880 --> 01:41:23,320
Speaker 4: Uh? Buffalo wo Wings? I know, like, which is so funny.

1938
01:41:24,080 --> 01:41:25,200
Speaker 3: I live what.

1939
01:41:25,360 --> 01:41:29,240
Speaker 4: Ten minutes from ESPN in Connecticut, and one of the

1940
01:41:29,320 --> 01:41:32,920
Speaker 4: most stunning things about living ten minutes from ESPN is

1941
01:41:32,960 --> 01:41:36,320
Speaker 4: that there is not a great sports bar in this

1942
01:41:36,439 --> 01:41:40,360
Speaker 4: town anywhere, and it's wild to me. And before it,

1943
01:41:40,520 --> 01:41:43,960
Speaker 4: because we're on in Hartford, it's one of the fellows

1944
01:41:44,040 --> 01:41:47,080
Speaker 4: is on every weekend. So before anybody acts me and says, oh,

1945
01:41:47,120 --> 01:41:49,400
Speaker 4: you're forgetting no, let me give you the qualifications for

1946
01:41:49,439 --> 01:41:53,200
Speaker 4: a great sports bar. Number One, I need TVs everywhere, Okay,

1947
01:41:53,280 --> 01:41:55,240
Speaker 4: So I need to be able to sit in one

1948
01:41:55,360 --> 01:41:57,200
Speaker 4: spot and make sure that I can.

1949
01:41:57,080 --> 01:41:58,160
Speaker 3: See all of the TVs.

1950
01:41:58,200 --> 01:42:00,519
Speaker 4: So TV's spread out over the course of a room

1951
01:42:00,960 --> 01:42:03,160
Speaker 4: do me no good If I only have sightline the

1952
01:42:03,240 --> 01:42:06,000
Speaker 4: four TVs for example, that's not gonna be my type

1953
01:42:06,000 --> 01:42:08,400
Speaker 4: of place. Number Two, those TVs need to be in

1954
01:42:08,479 --> 01:42:12,320
Speaker 4: primary positions where I'm not like looking up behind the

1955
01:42:12,360 --> 01:42:14,320
Speaker 4: bar and the small like I don't want any of that.

1956
01:42:14,439 --> 01:42:17,120
Speaker 4: Like I'm not asking for a bar that's been converted

1957
01:42:17,160 --> 01:42:20,040
Speaker 4: with a TV in it. Number three, you have to

1958
01:42:20,160 --> 01:42:22,760
Speaker 4: have the audio of the game on. And like there's

1959
01:42:22,760 --> 01:42:24,600
Speaker 4: a there's a bar right around the corner from my

1960
01:42:24,640 --> 01:42:27,240
Speaker 4: house called the Bar on Seater places great, got great food.

1961
01:42:27,280 --> 01:42:29,639
Speaker 3: It's great, like sort of dive bar, sort of vibe. Right,

1962
01:42:29,880 --> 01:42:32,960
Speaker 3: they got TVs everywhere, but for whatever reason, the kid

1963
01:42:33,439 --> 01:42:36,200
Speaker 3: kind of runs a place like, yeah, it's it's love.

1964
01:42:37,280 --> 01:42:38,520
Speaker 3: It's like loud.

1965
01:42:38,400 --> 01:42:42,480
Speaker 4: Thumping hip hop the whole time, which is fine, it's fine.

1966
01:42:42,200 --> 01:42:42,280
Speaker 6: But.

1967
01:42:45,280 --> 01:42:46,960
Speaker 5: Or whatever, I don't care. I want to watch a game.

1968
01:42:47,000 --> 01:42:49,840
Speaker 5: I don't. I don't want to hear the music while

1969
01:42:49,880 --> 01:42:53,080
Speaker 5: I watch the game. That's the worst for me.

1970
01:42:53,360 --> 01:42:56,960
Speaker 4: And I even asked during one Sunday because it was

1971
01:42:57,040 --> 01:42:57,519
Speaker 4: packed in there.

1972
01:42:57,560 --> 01:42:59,599
Speaker 3: It was packed wall to wall on a Sunday.

1973
01:43:00,040 --> 01:43:03,360
Speaker 4: Everybody's in there, everybody's wearing jerseys, everybody's watching the game.

1974
01:43:03,560 --> 01:43:05,040
Speaker 3: And I even ask one of the service, I'm like,

1975
01:43:05,040 --> 01:43:06,760
Speaker 3: can we turn a game? I don't even care which

1976
01:43:06,800 --> 01:43:07,640
Speaker 3: game it is.

1977
01:43:07,680 --> 01:43:10,960
Speaker 4: I just want audio from a game on and he's like, no,

1978
01:43:11,640 --> 01:43:13,679
Speaker 4: kid doesn't want that, and like, you know, his dad

1979
01:43:13,680 --> 01:43:16,000
Speaker 4: owns a place, so they just they run hip hop

1980
01:43:16,040 --> 01:43:18,120
Speaker 4: the whole time, which is like, there's a place in

1981
01:43:18,160 --> 01:43:22,160
Speaker 4: time for not during my football game. So amazingly, I'm

1982
01:43:22,320 --> 01:43:25,960
Speaker 4: I'm ten minutes from the worldwide leader in sports, and

1983
01:43:26,040 --> 01:43:28,679
Speaker 4: there isn't a sports bar in this town that actually

1984
01:43:28,960 --> 01:43:31,080
Speaker 4: caters to anyway. There is a sports bar within twenty

1985
01:43:31,160 --> 01:43:34,040
Speaker 4: minutes to caters to any of it. So Buffalo Wa

1986
01:43:34,080 --> 01:43:36,280
Speaker 4: Wings is the best option. They will have the audio,

1987
01:43:36,479 --> 01:43:39,400
Speaker 4: they will have TVs everywhere. It will be spectacular, so

1988
01:43:39,840 --> 01:43:42,400
Speaker 4: you know, unfortunately, there are while there are many good

1989
01:43:42,479 --> 01:43:45,200
Speaker 4: spots in town to just watch here and there, Like

1990
01:43:45,360 --> 01:43:49,320
Speaker 4: I want, I want a slammed football environment which is

1991
01:43:49,880 --> 01:43:52,479
Speaker 4: wall to wall everybody cares about the game going on.

1992
01:43:52,800 --> 01:43:54,360
Speaker 4: My best shot at that is a beat up. So

1993
01:43:54,360 --> 01:43:56,320
Speaker 4: I'm heading to beat ups later this afternoon.

1994
01:43:56,320 --> 01:43:56,760
Speaker 3: What about you?

1995
01:43:57,080 --> 01:43:58,400
Speaker 5: That's cool? That's cool?

1996

Speaker 3: Will you?

1997
01:43:58,880 --> 01:44:00,840
Speaker 5: Will you do a double dot tomorrow too?

1998
01:44:02,120 --> 01:44:04,160
Speaker 4: We're getting snow tomorrow so I might have to, you know,

1999
01:44:04,280 --> 01:44:06,560
Speaker 4: but yeah, my intent, My intent.

Speaker 3: Is to double double, like yeah, I mean also, you

2001
01:44:08,960 --> 01:44:10,120
Speaker 3: know fitness journey.

2002
01:44:10,120 --> 01:44:13,240
Speaker 4: I can easily order the grilled chicken tenders, no sauce

2003
01:44:13,479 --> 01:44:16,280
Speaker 4: and uh and I can eat grilled chicken all day, so.

2004
01:44:16,960 --> 01:44:19,280
Speaker 2: I'll get a fit. Now, where are you will? You

2005
01:44:19,320 --> 01:44:22,320
Speaker 2: can you mix in a cocktail?

2006
01:44:23,000 --> 01:44:25,040
Speaker 3: No? No, I'm in a cut now, buddy.

2007
01:44:26,000 --> 01:44:28,200
Speaker 4: I'm I'm cutting to get ready for the super Bowl,

2008
01:44:28,200 --> 01:44:29,720
Speaker 4: Like I just I want to look my best for

2009
01:44:29,800 --> 01:44:31,840
Speaker 4: that week in New Orleans. So I decided this was

2010
01:44:31,840 --> 01:44:34,400
Speaker 4: a good time to cut. So I'm in the caloric

2011
01:44:34,439 --> 01:44:37,040
Speaker 4: deficiency that makes me a monster. I'm not gonna lie

2012
01:44:37,080 --> 01:44:41,000
Speaker 4: about that, like I'm a I'm you know, on certain

2013
01:44:41,080 --> 01:44:44,280
Speaker 4: days I'm eating thousands of calories less than I'm burning.

2014
01:44:44,760 --> 01:44:45,880
Speaker 3: It is a it is.

2015
01:44:45,840 --> 01:44:49,360
Speaker 4: A wild experience, but yeah, I have I think today

2016
01:44:49,400 --> 01:44:52,720
Speaker 4: I get like fourteen hundred calories. So I'm going to

2017
01:44:53,120 --> 01:44:55,640
Speaker 4: I'm gonna sit there and figure out how many of

2018
01:44:55,680 --> 01:44:57,919
Speaker 4: those I can eat in chicken tenders while I watch football.

2019
01:44:58,040 --> 01:45:00,880
Speaker 3: It is it is not the life. It is not.

2020
01:45:04,240 --> 01:45:06,759
Speaker 2: So all right. That's why he looks so good, buddy.

2021
01:45:06,960 --> 01:45:09,400
Speaker 2: You know, I guess I mean, I got I bless you.

2022
01:45:09,960 --> 01:45:10,519
Speaker 3: I'll tell you this.

2023
01:45:10,560 --> 01:45:13,559
Speaker 5: Look you feel great, you know, that's all. That's awesome.

2024
01:45:14,000 --> 01:45:15,800
Speaker 4: When I walk up to you in New Orleans on

2025
01:45:15,920 --> 01:45:18,760
Speaker 4: radio Road at the Super Bowl, you better the first

2026
01:45:18,800 --> 01:45:20,559
Speaker 4: thing out of your mouth better be oh my god,

2027
01:45:20,680 --> 01:45:24,439
Speaker 4: you look superhuman, because like anything short of superhuman at

2028
01:45:24,439 --> 01:45:27,080
Speaker 4: this point like apparely worth it.

2029
01:45:30,080 --> 01:45:34,439
Speaker 2: I'm sure you look super human, brother, I'm sure that's fantastic.

2030
01:45:34,479 --> 01:45:37,120
Speaker 5: And will you go? Then you got Monday night, so

2031
01:45:37,400 --> 01:45:40,240
Speaker 5: you know it's Saturday, Sunday, Monday night. Now Monday night?

2032
01:45:40,280 --> 01:45:43,080
Speaker 5: Will you I know you're working. What will you do

2033
01:45:43,280 --> 01:45:43,840
Speaker 5: for the game.

2034
01:45:44,439 --> 01:45:45,519
Speaker 3: I don't know.

2035
01:45:45,880 --> 01:45:51,080
Speaker 4: I I really genuinely like, I'm afraid on Monday night.

2036
01:45:51,240 --> 01:45:53,120
Speaker 3: I would love to have this wild environment.

2037
01:45:53,160 --> 01:45:55,560
Speaker 4: But again, New England nobody cares about college football, so

2038
01:45:55,600 --> 01:45:57,800
Speaker 4: it's hard to find that. But the other side of

2039
01:45:57,800 --> 01:46:01,000
Speaker 4: it is I fear that this game is going to

2040
01:46:01,080 --> 01:46:04,759
Speaker 4: get out of control early. It gets out of control early,

2041
01:46:05,200 --> 01:46:07,000
Speaker 4: I don't want to be out and about like I

2042
01:46:07,160 --> 01:46:09,320
Speaker 4: just the funny thing is, if you go back and

2043
01:46:09,360 --> 01:46:12,879
Speaker 4: rewatch the Ohio State Texas game, the second and third drives,

2044
01:46:12,920 --> 01:46:17,040
Speaker 4: Ohio State was driving easily and then they self inflicted

2045
01:46:17,080 --> 01:46:18,559
Speaker 4: penalties cost them those two drives.

2046
01:46:18,760 --> 01:46:20,960
Speaker 3: I'm making the argument that in every game.

2047
01:46:20,880 --> 01:46:24,120
Speaker 4: So far this year in the playoffs, Ohio State could

2048
01:46:24,200 --> 01:46:27,479
Speaker 4: should or was ahead twenty one nothing in the first quarter, right,

2049
01:46:27,520 --> 01:46:29,760
Speaker 4: like I know, against Texas it was seven to nothing.

2050
01:46:29,840 --> 01:46:32,720
Speaker 4: But man self inflicted was uncharacteristic.

2051
01:46:32,760 --> 01:46:36,120
Speaker 2: They were they were knocking man, they were, they were

2052
01:46:36,200 --> 01:46:41,400
Speaker 2: knocking down. I will say this, Texas settled down. Yeah,

2053
01:46:41,439 --> 01:46:45,160
Speaker 2: and Texas should have won. Well, I don't say should

2054
01:46:45,160 --> 01:46:48,360
Speaker 2: have won the game, but dude, we weren't on.

2055
01:46:48,640 --> 01:46:51,000
Speaker 3: He was saying, we weren't on. You know, Texas.

2056
01:46:51,040 --> 01:46:54,320
Speaker 4: Obviously they came back in that game and they managed

2057
01:46:54,360 --> 01:46:57,160
Speaker 4: to hold through that game, which is lost.

2058
01:46:57,240 --> 01:46:57,519
Speaker 5: Weird.

2059
01:46:58,439 --> 01:46:59,400
Speaker 3: You're back, buddy, You were.

2060
01:46:59,280 --> 01:47:00,760
Speaker 5: Saying that weren't That's weird. I don't.

2061
01:47:01,080 --> 01:47:03,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, so we weren't all last week because of the

2062
01:47:03,800 --> 01:47:06,160
Speaker 2: fires and uh, and everything was horrible.

2063
01:47:06,640 --> 01:47:08,480
Speaker 5: Uh.

2064
01:47:08,560 --> 01:47:13,439
Speaker 2: I was livid by how Sar coached that game. How

2065
01:47:13,560 --> 01:47:17,200
Speaker 2: in the world, dude, do you not have Arch in

2066
01:47:17,280 --> 01:47:26,920
Speaker 2: the game at the goal line? Not just seriously, it's malfeasans.

2067
01:47:26,840 --> 01:47:30,679
Speaker 4: I agree, And I thought the entire time it didn't

2068
01:47:30,680 --> 01:47:33,680
Speaker 4: serve anybody. It didn't serve Texas, it didn't serve Arch,

2069
01:47:33,720 --> 01:47:37,400
Speaker 4: it didn't serve Quinn, like none of them. I don't

2070
01:47:37,479 --> 01:47:39,680
Speaker 4: understand when you've got a tool in your toolbox that

2071
01:47:39,720 --> 01:47:41,920
Speaker 4: can do a lot of things, why you don't utilize

2072
01:47:41,920 --> 01:47:42,920
Speaker 4: that when you're struggling?

2073
01:47:43,439 --> 01:47:45,280
Speaker 3: And Yeah, I'm with you.

2074
01:47:45,360 --> 01:47:47,599
Speaker 2: I thought that was We talked about it going into

2075
01:47:47,600 --> 01:47:50,040
Speaker 2: the game, like you gotta you gotta use Arch, but

2076
01:47:50,160 --> 01:47:53,280
Speaker 2: you gotta use them. Listen, here's played fine, all right,

2077
01:47:53,360 --> 01:47:58,439
Speaker 2: I had no issues. But here's the deal. You couldn't

2078
01:47:58,479 --> 01:48:02,160
Speaker 2: get in right and they knew it right. So your

2079
01:48:02,240 --> 01:48:08,240
Speaker 2: answer is a pitch wide. How freaking stupid is that

2080
01:48:08,960 --> 01:48:12,839
Speaker 2: you lost the game on that play? Yeah, you bring archin,

2081
01:48:13,840 --> 01:48:17,040
Speaker 2: come on that games in overtime.

2082
01:48:19,400 --> 01:48:22,800
Speaker 4: I think what's interesting when you look at what all

2083
01:48:22,840 --> 01:48:26,320
Speaker 4: of that tells us for Monday Night. To me, I

2084
01:48:26,360 --> 01:48:29,679
Speaker 4: think Notre Dame, Ohio State is a little like Mike

2085
01:48:29,760 --> 01:48:33,000
Speaker 4: Tyson fighting Mike Tyson in this prime. You got to

2086
01:48:33,040 --> 01:48:36,000
Speaker 4: survive the first minute of that fight. And if you

2087
01:48:36,040 --> 01:48:39,120
Speaker 4: survive the first quarter of this fight. For example, if

2088
01:48:39,120 --> 01:48:41,240
Speaker 4: your Notre Dame and you get out of the first

2089
01:48:41,320 --> 01:48:43,400
Speaker 4: quarter and it's a seven to nothing game, now we

2090
01:48:43,439 --> 01:48:45,800
Speaker 4: have a different football game. If you're able, whether it's

2091
01:48:45,800 --> 01:48:48,200
Speaker 4: self inflicted wounds or whether you're able to create something,

2092
01:48:48,520 --> 01:48:50,880
Speaker 4: if you actually can turn this into.

2093
01:48:51,160 --> 01:48:54,799
Speaker 3: An ugly slugfest sort of game. We got something different.

2094
01:48:54,960 --> 01:48:58,920
Speaker 4: I just I fear, particularly because of the injuries on

2095
01:48:58,960 --> 01:49:01,800
Speaker 4: the defensive line. For note, I don't think that they

2096
01:49:01,880 --> 01:49:04,040
Speaker 4: have the depth that they're gonna need to be able

2097
01:49:04,040 --> 01:49:06,920
Speaker 4: to slow down the running attack of Ohio State, and

2098
01:49:07,200 --> 01:49:09,360
Speaker 4: they're gonna have to commit extra resources to it and

2099
01:49:09,400 --> 01:49:10,840
Speaker 4: play a lot of man in the back, which is

2100
01:49:10,840 --> 01:49:13,360
Speaker 4: what they do anyway. But they do that against these

2101
01:49:13,360 --> 01:49:17,760
Speaker 4: wide receivers. Oh, that could get yeah, I mean, I

2102
01:49:17,880 --> 01:49:21,040
Speaker 4: mean I could see even if they put extra resources.

2103
01:49:21,320 --> 01:49:23,360
Speaker 4: I was asked for Yahoo to predict my MVP for

2104
01:49:23,400 --> 01:49:25,640
Speaker 4: the game, and I actually said Tom like Gobuka, just

2105
01:49:25,680 --> 01:49:27,599
Speaker 4: because I could see them saying, Hey, we're not gonna

2106
01:49:27,680 --> 01:49:28,960
Speaker 4: let Jeremiah Smith beat us.

2107
01:49:29,400 --> 01:49:31,360
Speaker 3: Okay, if you do that and.

2108
01:49:31,280 --> 01:49:34,040
Speaker 4: You're committing extra resources to slow down the running game,

2109
01:49:34,560 --> 01:49:35,599
Speaker 4: oh you're gonna get beat.

2110
01:49:35,800 --> 01:49:36,680
Speaker 3: You're gonna get like.

2111
01:49:37,080 --> 01:49:40,439
Speaker 4: There's just this Ohio State team, too many weapons, too

2112
01:49:40,479 --> 01:49:43,040
Speaker 4: many ways. I in my mind, as much as I

2113
01:49:43,080 --> 01:49:45,760
Speaker 4: want a great Natty, I can see Ohio State up

2114
01:49:45,800 --> 01:49:47,559
Speaker 4: twenty one nothing at the end of the first quarter

2115
01:49:47,600 --> 01:49:49,280
Speaker 4: and then it's just to coast your way through the

2116
01:49:49,320 --> 01:49:50,200
Speaker 4: rest of the game game.

2117
01:49:51,280 --> 01:49:55,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, the only thing I like, I kind of feel

2118
01:49:55,439 --> 01:49:58,680
Speaker 2: the same way. My My only thing is I look

2119
01:49:58,720 --> 01:50:04,439
Speaker 2: at the game. Can can Notre Dame replicate Michigan?

2120
01:50:05,600 --> 01:50:05,840
Speaker 5: Now?

2121
01:50:05,960 --> 01:50:09,479
Speaker 2: The only way that that can happen is if chip

2122
01:50:09,560 --> 01:50:15,240
Speaker 2: Kelly tries to out physical Notre Dame like he tried

2123
01:50:15,240 --> 01:50:20,400
Speaker 2: to out physical Michigan and it just blew up ugly.

2124
01:50:20,640 --> 01:50:24,360
Speaker 2: I don't see them making happy as much as uh

2125
01:50:24,640 --> 01:50:27,920
Speaker 2: he's called three great games, chip Kelly.

2126
01:50:29,240 --> 01:50:32,280
Speaker 5: And I don't. I don't think that they would be

2127
01:50:32,320 --> 01:50:33,080
Speaker 5: foolish like that.

2128
01:50:33,160 --> 01:50:38,280
Speaker 4: Again, Yeah, I think chip Kelly, whatever come to Jesus

2129
01:50:38,400 --> 01:50:40,920
Speaker 4: talk Ryan Day and Chip Kelly had together about the

2130
01:50:40,960 --> 01:50:44,080
Speaker 4: offense after the Michigan game should happened a long time ago,

2131
01:50:44,120 --> 01:50:47,040
Speaker 4: because my god, it's it's just a it's a much

2132
01:50:47,200 --> 01:50:49,719
Speaker 4: different offense at this point than it was for Michigan.

2133
01:50:49,800 --> 01:50:52,880
Speaker 4: And you're right, but as we've said many times, pride

2134
01:50:52,960 --> 01:50:55,040
Speaker 4: is the downfall him in So this is one where

2135
01:50:55,080 --> 01:50:57,760
Speaker 4: like you can't go in set in Stone with this

2136
01:50:57,800 --> 01:50:59,760
Speaker 4: is how we're going to attack. Like, I just think

2137
01:50:59,840 --> 01:51:01,840
Speaker 4: I think the way to attack Notre Dame is just

2138
01:51:01,880 --> 01:51:05,400
Speaker 4: to full on, all out make him, make him run

2139
01:51:05,439 --> 01:51:07,360
Speaker 4: after you from from minute one, make him.

2140
01:51:07,760 --> 01:51:09,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, you gotta make it the track me. You gotta

2141
01:51:10,120 --> 01:51:10,960
Speaker 5: beat up the game.

2142
01:51:11,360 --> 01:51:13,760
Speaker 2: Notre Dame's gonna want to take the air out and

2143
01:51:14,000 --> 01:51:17,719
Speaker 2: you you have to attack, and you gotta come out.

2144
01:51:17,720 --> 01:51:19,240
Speaker 2: You have to come out like the way they did

2145
01:51:19,240 --> 01:51:20,000
Speaker 2: against Oregon.

2146
01:51:22,160 --> 01:51:25,559
Speaker 4: Yeah, and if you do that, I just when they're

2147
01:51:25,560 --> 01:51:27,519
Speaker 4: firing on all cylinders like that, I don't know how

2148
01:51:27,520 --> 01:51:28,160
Speaker 4: you stop them.

2149
01:51:28,200 --> 01:51:30,000
Speaker 3: I just don't. I know, I know.

2150
01:51:30,240 --> 01:51:33,120
Speaker 2: And Jeremiah and I'm with you on a booka But

2151
01:51:33,200 --> 01:51:37,360
Speaker 2: Jeremiah Smith has been quiet last couple of games. Yeah,

2152
01:51:37,800 --> 01:51:41,559
Speaker 2: I think he's due for like one of those scary games.

2153
01:51:42,760 --> 01:51:44,640
Speaker 2: I think he's gonna and I don't see anybody that

2154
01:51:44,760 --> 01:51:47,240
Speaker 2: can stay with him on that in that secondary.

2155
01:51:48,880 --> 01:51:51,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, and you're you're right. It is one of the

2156
01:51:51,680 --> 01:51:55,680
Speaker 4: best secondaries in the country. And no defense forces more turnovers.

2157
01:51:56,040 --> 01:51:59,080
Speaker 4: But man in less Will Howard is having adrenaline issues

2158
01:51:59,080 --> 01:52:01,320
Speaker 4: early in this game. By the way, Will Howard in

2159
01:52:01,360 --> 01:52:04,960
Speaker 4: Texas Flowers, I have been tough on him. I'm tough

2160
01:52:04,960 --> 01:52:07,120
Speaker 4: on college quarterbacks. I know that I've been tough on

2161
01:52:07,200 --> 01:52:09,639
Speaker 4: Will Howard. I thought he did a beautiful job during

2162
01:52:09,680 --> 01:52:12,599
Speaker 4: the Texas game of understanding pre snap when he needed

2163
01:52:12,640 --> 01:52:15,120
Speaker 4: to be conservative, knowing where the defense was going to go,

2164
01:52:15,200 --> 01:52:16,559
Speaker 4: and then saying, Hey, if you just want to leave

2165
01:52:16,600 --> 01:52:18,840
Speaker 4: me with my third best wide receiver that's still better

2166
01:52:18,880 --> 01:52:21,040
Speaker 4: than your guys, and you want to leave him open

2167
01:52:21,080 --> 01:52:23,000
Speaker 4: twelve yards down the field, I'll take that all day long.

2168
01:52:23,160 --> 01:52:25,080
Speaker 4: Like that is a level of patients that I think

2169
01:52:25,160 --> 01:52:28,280
Speaker 4: really has to be commended. He played chess in that game,

2170
01:52:28,400 --> 01:52:30,280
Speaker 4: and if he comes out with that same level of

2171
01:52:30,280 --> 01:52:33,839
Speaker 4: patients as a quarterback here, they're going to crush totally.

2172
01:52:34,160 --> 01:52:37,599
Speaker 2: Nah nah, spot on, spot on, where the fella's got

2173
01:52:37,600 --> 01:52:39,519
Speaker 2: to take Cook t Oh, come right back right here.

2174
01:52:39,640 --> 01:52:47,640
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio fellas Jason Fitz, Anthony Gargano, we're just

2175
01:52:47,640 --> 01:52:51,360
Speaker 2: talking about the National Championship game. Yeah, I I I'm

2176
01:52:51,360 --> 01:52:54,960
Speaker 2: with you, and I see that one. We see that

2177
01:52:55,040 --> 01:53:00,439
Speaker 2: one very similarly. Hey, I read something and I'm curious

2178
01:53:00,720 --> 01:53:03,200
Speaker 2: to get your take on it. When it comes to

2179
01:53:03,320 --> 01:53:11,840
Speaker 2: college sports. I read that the future of college like

2180
01:53:11,920 --> 01:53:18,360
Speaker 2: big time college football and college basketball, that billionaire sports

2181
01:53:18,360 --> 01:53:25,240
Speaker 2: owners are going to buy the program, and that you're

2182
01:53:25,280 --> 01:53:30,200
Speaker 2: going to have these billionaires own and say Michigan football

2183
01:53:30,320 --> 01:53:33,000
Speaker 2: like it'll be I don't know if it's a lease

2184
01:53:33,160 --> 01:53:35,759
Speaker 2: or how it's going to work. But dergo actually gonna

2185
01:53:36,800 --> 01:53:42,400
Speaker 2: buy the program and then you know, treat it like

2186
01:53:42,439 --> 01:53:44,000
Speaker 2: a business.

2187
01:53:45,160 --> 01:53:46,400
Speaker 3: That's a wild concept.

2188
01:53:46,520 --> 01:53:50,599
Speaker 4: I mean, that's a look, there's profit to be made,

2189
01:53:50,600 --> 01:53:52,439
Speaker 4: so somebody's going to figure out how to make the profit.

2190
01:53:53,040 --> 01:53:57,719
Speaker 4: But that is, man, that's a wild concept of somebody

2191
01:53:57,720 --> 01:54:00,280
Speaker 4: coming in and just deciding, Okay, I'm gonna buy I'm

2192
01:54:00,320 --> 01:54:03,639
Speaker 4: gonna buy Vandy's football program here, you know, and how.

2193
01:54:03,479 --> 01:54:05,920
Speaker 3: Does that translate to other sports? Or does it translate

2194
01:54:05,960 --> 01:54:06,559
Speaker 3: to other sports?

2195
01:54:06,560 --> 01:54:08,640
Speaker 4: Do you have to buy all of Vandy's athletics or

2196
01:54:08,800 --> 01:54:11,040
Speaker 4: just Vandy football in that situation like that?

2197
01:54:11,200 --> 01:54:13,560
Speaker 2: So here's how I kind of see it. I don't know.

2198
01:54:13,600 --> 01:54:17,800
Speaker 2: All these questions are great, right, So it's like a

2199
01:54:18,160 --> 01:54:20,920
Speaker 2: you bid right, like you go, I want all I

2200
01:54:20,960 --> 01:54:27,760
Speaker 2: wants Vandy football, and I'll lease Vandy football.

2201
01:54:28,760 --> 01:54:30,719
Speaker 5: For you know, ten years.

2202
01:54:31,040 --> 01:54:33,760
Speaker 2: I don't know whatever you want until that, you know whatever,

2203
01:54:34,200 --> 01:54:36,040
Speaker 2: or I could and I could sell it too. I

2204
01:54:36,080 --> 01:54:39,200
Speaker 2: could sell the lease, right, I could sublease it or

2205
01:54:39,200 --> 01:54:42,000
Speaker 2: whatever how you want to call it. You don't actually

2206
01:54:42,040 --> 01:54:45,840
Speaker 2: own it because it's a part of the university. But

2207
01:54:46,840 --> 01:54:50,240
Speaker 2: and then everything you make, you know, you're buying it,

2208
01:54:51,120 --> 01:54:53,760
Speaker 2: and you know, piece goes back to university and you

2209
01:54:53,840 --> 01:54:59,120
Speaker 2: keep the rest. I think it's a fascinating thing because

2210
01:55:00,280 --> 01:55:03,600
Speaker 2: you know, you saw the Title nine stuff right about

2211
01:55:03,800 --> 01:55:09,280
Speaker 2: you know, payments, the equal payments. The issues are football

2212
01:55:09,280 --> 01:55:14,960
Speaker 2: and basketball generates all the money. So I don't know

2213
01:55:15,000 --> 01:55:20,919
Speaker 2: where everything fits in with the other sports. Nobody's generating

2214
01:55:20,920 --> 01:55:24,160
Speaker 2: the money like football and basketball.

2215
01:55:24,760 --> 01:55:29,360
Speaker 4: I'm left to wonder if basically all non revenue generating

2216
01:55:29,400 --> 01:55:31,840
Speaker 4: sports are all Olympic sports, things like that are just

2217
01:55:31,880 --> 01:55:33,760
Speaker 4: gonna end up going away, or they're all going to

2218
01:55:33,800 --> 01:55:37,200
Speaker 4: become essentially club sports, you know, because I don't know

2219
01:55:37,240 --> 01:55:38,360
Speaker 4: how you continue to.

2220
01:55:40,440 --> 01:55:42,160
Speaker 3: How you continue to grow them.

2221
01:55:42,840 --> 01:55:46,080
Speaker 4: In the economic process, like if they're truly going to

2222
01:55:46,120 --> 01:55:49,400
Speaker 4: try and force a Title nine situation that if anyone

2223
01:55:49,440 --> 01:55:52,240
Speaker 4: didn't see the Department of an Education basically came out

2224
01:55:52,240 --> 01:55:56,040
Speaker 4: and said the guidelines are such that the Title nine

2225
01:55:56,040 --> 01:55:59,840
Speaker 4: money should be proportionate for nil. Now I've read everything

2226
01:56:00,000 --> 01:56:01,840
Speaker 4: I could possibly read on it for the last couple

2227
01:56:01,840 --> 01:56:04,640
Speaker 4: of days. I think it's pretty I mean, some reports

2228
01:56:04,680 --> 01:56:06,480
Speaker 4: that Quinn you Weer is getting offered what six or

2229
01:56:06,520 --> 01:56:09,640
Speaker 4: eight million dollars to come in and play quarterback at

2230
01:56:09,640 --> 01:56:13,240
Speaker 4: a school undisclosed school had he chose to stay. So

2231
01:56:13,280 --> 01:56:15,720
Speaker 4: what are they saying that if quinn Ewers is making

2232
01:56:15,760 --> 01:56:18,560
Speaker 4: eight million dollars in nil, that nil of eight million

2233
01:56:18,600 --> 01:56:21,440
Speaker 4: dollars needs to be made available to women's sports. I

2234
01:56:21,520 --> 01:56:25,000
Speaker 4: understand why that's part of the designation of what Title

2235
01:56:25,080 --> 01:56:27,440
Speaker 4: nine is trying to accomplish. I do think in that

2236
01:56:27,480 --> 01:56:29,800
Speaker 4: situation you have to step back and acknowledge that all

2237
01:56:29,840 --> 01:56:32,880
Speaker 4: you're essentially going to do is for some sort of

2238
01:56:32,880 --> 01:56:36,080
Speaker 4: a massive divide. I feel like this is why Congress

2239
01:56:36,120 --> 01:56:38,520
Speaker 4: has got to at some point step in.

2240
01:56:38,560 --> 01:56:41,000
Speaker 3: Congress has better things to do than figure out sports.

2241
01:56:41,040 --> 01:56:45,160
Speaker 4: But sports can't figure themselves out anymore, right, so what's

2242
01:56:45,200 --> 01:56:45,760
Speaker 4: going to happen?

2243
01:56:46,680 --> 01:56:48,520
Speaker 5: That's why the owners need to cut.

2244
01:56:48,520 --> 01:56:51,200
Speaker 2: That's why there's going to be owners, right, Oh, that's

2245
01:56:51,200 --> 01:56:53,640
Speaker 2: why get you gotta have wealthy people come in to

2246
01:56:53,720 --> 01:56:57,800
Speaker 2: run the programs and just say, uh, just football and

2247
01:56:57,840 --> 01:57:01,560
Speaker 2: basketball or maybe baseball, right like the ones that you

2248
01:57:01,600 --> 01:57:06,600
Speaker 2: have the appetite for, and then after that everything else

2249
01:57:06,880 --> 01:57:11,240
Speaker 2: is Title nine and everything you need right, like where

2250
01:57:11,240 --> 01:57:15,480
Speaker 2: there's equality of mind because this way the football, the

2251
01:57:15,520 --> 01:57:18,120
Speaker 2: basketball they're privately run.

2252
01:57:18,840 --> 01:57:20,400
Speaker 5: It has nothing to do with university.

2253
01:57:21,480 --> 01:57:25,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's an interesting man, which then leads to if

2254
01:57:25,840 --> 01:57:28,480
Speaker 4: we're gonna have privately run football programs. That finally leads

2255
01:57:28,520 --> 01:57:30,680
Speaker 4: to what I think is a necessary step. As much

2256
01:57:30,680 --> 01:57:33,879
Speaker 4: as saying this triggers some people that love college football,

2257
01:57:33,880 --> 01:57:37,560
Speaker 4: I think unionization of all college football football players is

2258
01:57:37,560 --> 01:57:40,800
Speaker 4: going to be an important part. Like for anybody that

2259
01:57:40,840 --> 01:57:43,640
Speaker 4: sits here and says you've got to limit eligibility, well,

2260
01:57:43,880 --> 01:57:45,560
Speaker 4: if you try that, you'll.

2261
01:57:45,360 --> 01:57:47,160
Speaker 3: Sue, and no sue and they'll lose.

2262
01:57:47,680 --> 01:57:50,000
Speaker 4: If you say I want to limit their nil if

2263
01:57:50,040 --> 01:57:52,480
Speaker 4: you try that, you're gonna get sued and you're gonna lose.

2264
01:57:52,560 --> 01:57:55,120
Speaker 4: The courts have to have ruled in the favor of

2265
01:57:55,160 --> 01:57:59,400
Speaker 4: players in every single court case evolving any of.

2266
01:57:59,360 --> 01:58:00,640
Speaker 3: This with college athletics.

2267
01:58:00,640 --> 01:58:03,040
Speaker 4: So at some point the only way that they're going

2268
01:58:03,080 --> 01:58:05,120
Speaker 4: to have any standards is if they treat it like

2269
01:58:05,160 --> 01:58:08,360
Speaker 4: the NFL. To your point, private owners and then players

2270
01:58:08,400 --> 01:58:11,280
Speaker 4: all unionize and there's a collective bargaining agreement like it

2271
01:58:11,320 --> 01:58:13,160
Speaker 4: really would have to go that far, and it would

2272
01:58:13,200 --> 01:58:15,560
Speaker 4: take I think, I think you know, people would have

2273
01:58:15,600 --> 01:58:17,480
Speaker 4: Congress and lawyers would have to get involved to make

2274
01:58:17,480 --> 01:58:17,920
Speaker 4: that happen.

2275
01:58:18,120 --> 01:58:22,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't see, you know where it's heading this.

2276
01:58:22,600 --> 01:58:24,240
Speaker 2: This is not going to stay the way it is.

2277
01:58:25,200 --> 01:58:28,520
Speaker 2: There's no way in the world. I'd love. I love

2278
01:58:28,560 --> 01:58:31,960
Speaker 2: how it alets comes about. I love playoffs and everything else.

2279
01:58:32,760 --> 01:58:34,879
Speaker 2: There's a lot to be figured out. Where the fellas

02:00:01,120 --> 02:00:06,640
Speaker 2: The guy has consistently won since nineteen ninety nine, when

2301
02:00:06,680 --> 02:00:10,240
Speaker 2: it's first he took over the Eagles and turned a

2302
02:00:10,440 --> 02:00:14,280
Speaker 2: bad franchise into one of the best.

2303
02:00:14,040 --> 02:00:15,440
Speaker 5: Franchises out there.

2304
02:00:15,520 --> 02:00:19,240
Speaker 2: And I will argue that what you see now, including

2305
02:00:19,280 --> 02:00:23,080
Speaker 2: their Super Bowl, while Andy was coaching of Kansas City,

2306
02:00:23,800 --> 02:00:26,520
Speaker 2: was directly from him.

2307
02:00:27,040 --> 02:00:28,720
Speaker 5: I believe he grew.

2308
02:00:28,760 --> 02:00:32,720
Speaker 2: I know he groomed Dowie Roseman, and I believe he

2309
02:00:32,800 --> 02:00:37,400
Speaker 2: put a culture that Jeffrey Laurie has followed that has

2310
02:00:37,480 --> 02:00:42,080
Speaker 2: made them one of the great franchises, and he's made

2311
02:00:42,240 --> 02:00:46,840
Speaker 2: Kansas City into a dynasty. I don't know how he's

2312
02:00:46,880 --> 02:00:50,280
Speaker 2: not the best coach that's ever been. And this is

2313
02:00:50,320 --> 02:00:51,880
Speaker 2: not recency bias.

2314
02:00:52,520 --> 02:00:55,520
Speaker 4: Well, I know everybody wants to go to Belichick in

2315
02:00:55,560 --> 02:01:00,120
Speaker 4: these situations, and that's I understand it. Let's see, you know,

2316
02:01:00,200 --> 02:01:03,120
Speaker 4: I mean, Belichick and Brady together were the ultimate tag team,

2317
02:01:03,160 --> 02:01:05,440
Speaker 4: and we love to try and figure out who's responsible

2318
02:01:05,480 --> 02:01:06,360
Speaker 4: for their greatness.

2319
02:01:06,560 --> 02:01:08,120
Speaker 3: I constantly say, what if it was both?

2320
02:01:08,640 --> 02:01:11,480
Speaker 4: In this situation, I think you know the fact that

2321
02:01:11,560 --> 02:01:14,840
Speaker 4: Andy Reid has you know now what is developed, and

2322
02:01:15,120 --> 02:01:18,240
Speaker 4: he's a large part of why Patrick Mahomes has developed

2323
02:01:18,240 --> 02:01:21,360
Speaker 4: into one of the best quarterbacks of all time already.

2324
02:01:21,680 --> 02:01:24,400
Speaker 4: I do think that there's a very fair conversation about

2325
02:01:25,120 --> 02:01:27,520
Speaker 4: is Andy Reid the best ever? And you know what's

2326
02:01:27,600 --> 02:01:32,040
Speaker 4: interesting is that Andy Reid has never failed at his job.

2327
02:01:32,080 --> 02:01:33,560
Speaker 4: He's never been a bad coach.

2328
02:01:34,440 --> 02:01:37,200
Speaker 3: I think it's funny how the perception that he can't win,

2329
02:01:37,880 --> 02:01:38,160
Speaker 3: you know.

2330
02:01:38,360 --> 02:01:40,560
Speaker 4: Big games, all the things, anything that was said about

2331
02:01:40,600 --> 02:01:42,480
Speaker 4: him while he was at Philly has died down now.

2332
02:01:42,920 --> 02:01:44,720
Speaker 3: And it reminds me in some.

2333
02:01:44,720 --> 02:01:47,520
Speaker 4: Ways of the way we talk about Tomlin right now,

2334
02:01:47,560 --> 02:01:49,920
Speaker 4: where everybody's sitting here questioning should Tomlin move on? And

2335
02:01:49,960 --> 02:01:52,960
Speaker 4: my answer to that is constantly like, Okay, well Tomlin

2336
02:01:53,040 --> 02:01:55,240
Speaker 4: doesn't have I mean, what are we talking about, Like

2337
02:01:55,280 --> 02:01:55,879
Speaker 4: he doesn't.

2338
02:01:55,720 --> 02:01:58,320
Speaker 3: Have Mahomes or Alan or Lamar.

2339
02:01:58,520 --> 02:02:00,920
Speaker 4: And I think it's just way you are a great

2340
02:02:00,960 --> 02:02:03,080
Speaker 4: coach that you then give a great quarterback.

2341
02:02:03,320 --> 02:02:04,840
Speaker 3: Now you have a combo that is just going to

2342
02:02:04,880 --> 02:02:05,960
Speaker 3: be very possible to stop.

2343
02:02:06,400 --> 02:02:09,880
Speaker 4: Andy Reid's already clearly one of the greatest coaches of

2344
02:02:09,880 --> 02:02:10,280
Speaker 4: all time?

2345
02:02:10,320 --> 02:02:11,720
Speaker 3: Is he the greatest coach of all time?

2346
02:02:11,960 --> 02:02:14,520
Speaker 4: I mean he certainly belongs in that Mount Rushmore conversation,

2347
02:02:14,600 --> 02:02:16,160
Speaker 4: and I don't know what else you'd need to see

2348
02:02:16,160 --> 02:02:20,000
Speaker 4: from him to prove that he's on that platform. Also,

2349
02:02:20,920 --> 02:02:23,640
Speaker 4: the Chiefs, in my mind, aren't going anywhere anywhere anytime soon.

2350
02:02:23,760 --> 02:02:25,760
Speaker 4: So I think the Chiefs are going to three peat,

2351
02:02:25,880 --> 02:02:28,480
Speaker 4: and you know, until I see otherwise, I don't know

2352
02:02:28,520 --> 02:02:30,800
Speaker 4: why the Chiefs won't four peat five peple like who cares?

2353
02:02:30,880 --> 02:02:31,000
Speaker 3: Like?

2354
02:02:31,360 --> 02:02:34,520
Speaker 4: At this point, I'm looking at the marvel of Kansas

2355
02:02:34,560 --> 02:02:36,720
Speaker 4: City and saying, how many years can they do this?

2356
02:02:36,800 --> 02:02:38,120
Speaker 3: And Andy Reid's a big part of why.

2357
02:02:38,600 --> 02:02:44,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, And look at his tree, his tree, you know,

2358
02:02:44,080 --> 02:02:50,040
Speaker 2: it's amazing. In the AFC, two of the other three

2359
02:02:50,120 --> 02:02:57,120
Speaker 2: teams are from his tree. Harball McDermott, It's crazy. The

2360
02:02:57,160 --> 02:03:00,879
Speaker 2: Eagles might as well be his tree in the NFC.

2361
02:03:02,600 --> 02:03:07,800
Speaker 2: I mean, like, I don't know what you he stamp

2362
02:03:07,920 --> 02:03:08,840
Speaker 2: is everywhere.

2363
02:03:11,240 --> 02:03:16,920
Speaker 4: I also think that the ability for that organization to

2364
02:03:16,960 --> 02:03:18,800
Speaker 4: get so much out of so many people that are

2365
02:03:18,800 --> 02:03:23,760
Speaker 4: homegrown speaks to the common vision that they have as

2366
02:03:23,760 --> 02:03:25,680
Speaker 4: an organization on what they're looking for and how they're

2367
02:03:25,720 --> 02:03:28,720
Speaker 4: looking for it. And then it speaks to coaching because

2368
02:03:28,720 --> 02:03:31,880
Speaker 4: so often we see guys drafted and they fail, and

2369
02:03:31,880 --> 02:03:33,560
Speaker 4: what we quickly want to do is say, well, they.

2370
02:03:33,520 --> 02:03:34,320
Speaker 3: Drafted a bum.

2371
02:03:34,640 --> 02:03:36,800
Speaker 4: I think more often than not, we need to look

2372
02:03:37,200 --> 02:03:40,200
Speaker 4: at organizations and say, hey, did you put the right

2373
02:03:40,200 --> 02:03:42,640
Speaker 4: coaches around to get the best out of that particular player.

2374
02:03:42,680 --> 02:03:44,640
Speaker 4: Not every player can make it in the NFL, but

2375
02:03:45,200 --> 02:03:46,800
Speaker 4: a lot of the guys that bust out, I think

2376
02:03:46,800 --> 02:03:47,720
Speaker 4: their teams fail them.

2377
02:03:47,960 --> 02:03:50,360
Speaker 3: And when your team fails, you're like that. I don't know.

2378
02:03:51,040 --> 02:03:53,200
Speaker 4: You know, at some point, when your team consistently doesn't

2379
02:03:53,240 --> 02:03:55,400
Speaker 4: fail their draft picks, you have to credit the coaches.

2380
02:03:55,440 --> 02:03:58,160
Speaker 4: I think you just you have to at some point credit.

2381
02:03:58,320 --> 02:04:01,880
Speaker 4: The sustained success year in and year out has to

2382
02:04:01,920 --> 02:04:04,440
Speaker 4: be in part because coaches are doing a great job

2383
02:04:04,440 --> 02:04:06,720
Speaker 4: of making the most players. I do not believe Patrick

2384
02:04:06,720 --> 02:04:09,520
Speaker 4: Mahomes would be Patrick Mahomes if he wasn't drafted by

2385
02:04:09,600 --> 02:04:11,840
Speaker 4: Kansas City and if he wasn't playing for Andy Reid.

2386
02:04:12,680 --> 02:04:16,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, dude, I'm with you. So to the game.

2387
02:04:18,920 --> 02:04:21,080
Speaker 2: I asked you, I ask you to come up with

2388
02:04:21,160 --> 02:04:25,480
Speaker 2: a path that keeps the Texas in the game. I cannot.

2389
02:04:26,040 --> 02:04:30,360
Speaker 2: I do not see Houston in this game whatsoever. I

2390
02:04:30,400 --> 02:04:34,480
Speaker 2: can't find a game script I mean, short of ridiculous

2391
02:04:34,520 --> 02:04:40,280
Speaker 2: turnovers and rust that is palpable, I don't say it.

2392
02:04:41,200 --> 02:04:43,920
Speaker 4: I think the twenty four days since Mahomes played could

2393
02:04:43,920 --> 02:04:47,360
Speaker 4: be an interesting story in the first ten minutes, but

2394
02:04:48,040 --> 02:04:50,120
Speaker 4: after that it doesn't really play it. I think the

2395
02:04:50,160 --> 02:04:53,280
Speaker 4: real path to me is if you look at a

2396
02:04:53,280 --> 02:04:57,280
Speaker 4: couple of things. For the Texans, they have an incredibly

2397
02:04:57,400 --> 02:04:59,480
Speaker 4: high pass rush win rate. I have to say it

2398
02:04:59,520 --> 02:05:03,240
Speaker 4: that slowly because it's hard for me to say without

2399
02:05:03,280 --> 02:05:06,480
Speaker 4: sending extra blitzers. So they're able to get after the quarterback.

2400
02:05:06,560 --> 02:05:09,320
Speaker 4: And I know that it was much better after week

2401
02:05:09,360 --> 02:05:11,800
Speaker 4: what fourteen to fifteen for Kansas City. But if you

2402
02:05:11,840 --> 02:05:15,040
Speaker 4: look through the course of the season, highest number of hits,

2403
02:05:15,240 --> 02:05:17,600
Speaker 4: highest number of sacks per game, both of those things.

2404
02:05:17,640 --> 02:05:19,560
Speaker 3: So I still think that that.

2405
02:05:19,600 --> 02:05:23,400
Speaker 4: Texans defensive line will disrupt the Chiefs offense enough to

2406
02:05:23,480 --> 02:05:26,600
Speaker 4: keep them off schedule. So I think that that keeps

2407
02:05:26,640 --> 02:05:31,080
Speaker 4: things lower scoring than we're used to. The Chiefs frankly

2408
02:05:31,120 --> 02:05:33,480
Speaker 4: have been lower scoring until the last three or four

2409
02:05:33,480 --> 02:05:36,000
Speaker 4: weeks of the season anyway, So then the question becomes

2410
02:05:36,120 --> 02:05:37,440
Speaker 4: how do they generate offense?

2411
02:05:37,480 --> 02:05:38,240
Speaker 3: How do they score?

2412
02:05:38,400 --> 02:05:40,680
Speaker 4: If Joe Mixon can't play, they don't they get slaughtered

2413
02:05:40,680 --> 02:05:43,200
Speaker 4: if Joe Mixon can't play. If Joe Mixon can't play,

2414
02:05:43,440 --> 02:05:45,440
Speaker 4: he did go for over one hundred yards against the

2415
02:05:45,520 --> 02:05:47,960
Speaker 4: Chiefs last time they played. I think this becomes a

2416
02:05:48,120 --> 02:05:51,280
Speaker 4: very ball control possession. By the possession, you're trying to

2417
02:05:52,240 --> 02:05:56,880
Speaker 4: essentially just you're trying to knock them out one big

2418
02:05:56,920 --> 02:06:00,320
Speaker 4: punch at a time. This feels like the text want

2419
02:06:00,360 --> 02:06:02,960
Speaker 4: to make this an ugly physical football game. So I

2420
02:06:02,960 --> 02:06:06,400
Speaker 4: think the way that they compete is they disrupt my

2421
02:06:06,480 --> 02:06:08,360
Speaker 4: homes at the level they hit myhomes. They hit the

2422
02:06:08,360 --> 02:06:10,040
Speaker 4: snot out of them throughout the course of this game,

2423
02:06:10,040 --> 02:06:13,560
Speaker 4: which has been doable all year. You know, the Daniel

2424
02:06:13,640 --> 02:06:16,720
Speaker 4: Hunter and Will Anderson get after him a little bit,

2425
02:06:17,160 --> 02:06:20,080
Speaker 4: That's that's what's got to happen. And then from there

2426
02:06:20,240 --> 02:06:21,960
Speaker 4: you're just hanging on for dear life and hoping that

2427
02:06:22,000 --> 02:06:23,000
Speaker 4: you can find the offense.

2428
02:06:23,040 --> 02:06:23,320
Speaker 3: CJ.

2429
02:06:23,360 --> 02:06:25,360
Speaker 4: Stroud's going to have to have, you know, the game

2430
02:06:25,400 --> 02:06:27,880
Speaker 4: of his life, especially with the limited options they have

2431
02:06:27,960 --> 02:06:30,400
Speaker 4: around him. I don't feel as good about it and

2432
02:06:30,480 --> 02:06:32,880
Speaker 4: how as I did an hour ago, but yeah, that's

2433
02:06:32,880 --> 02:06:33,960
Speaker 4: the only path I can find.

2434
02:06:34,160 --> 02:06:36,160
Speaker 2: I mean, and I love the ego Collins. I do

2435
02:06:36,800 --> 02:06:41,640
Speaker 2: if Tank Dell were there, right, you know, I just

2436
02:06:41,680 --> 02:06:44,720
Speaker 2: don't think they have enough. The way kids see these

2437
02:06:44,760 --> 02:06:49,120
Speaker 2: defenses playing, they're healthy. Now, you know, I was talking

2438
02:06:49,120 --> 02:06:53,840
Speaker 2: with Spags earlier in the week. You know, I just

2439
02:06:53,880 --> 02:07:02,080
Speaker 2: think they're nasty man. And then tonight Washington Detroit. This

2440
02:07:02,200 --> 02:07:04,160
Speaker 2: is the game that you and I differed a little

2441
02:07:04,160 --> 02:07:07,600
Speaker 2: bit because as much as I love the Lions, and

2442
02:07:07,640 --> 02:07:10,440
Speaker 2: I do, I love I love the way they play,

2443
02:07:10,520 --> 02:07:14,480
Speaker 2: I love their offense. They have the perfect offense, especially

2444
02:07:14,520 --> 02:07:19,000
Speaker 2: now that Montgomery's back. I don't see I mean, I

2445
02:07:19,080 --> 02:07:24,160
Speaker 2: do see Washington giving them a scare, and you don't.

2446
02:07:24,800 --> 02:07:28,600
Speaker 4: I I You've talked me into it a little bit.

2447
02:07:29,560 --> 02:07:33,160
Speaker 4: I just think that Washington defense is going to be gettable.

2448
02:07:33,760 --> 02:07:37,960
Speaker 4: It's gonna be gettable, you know. So, yes, you talked

2449
02:07:37,960 --> 02:07:41,440
Speaker 4: me into can Washington try and control time of possession?

2450
02:07:41,920 --> 02:07:43,520
Speaker 4: I just don't think the commander is going to be

2451
02:07:43,560 --> 02:07:46,040
Speaker 4: able to slow down the Lions. And I do think

2452
02:07:46,040 --> 02:07:47,840
Speaker 4: it's a fair point to say, hey, you know, Jayden

2453
02:07:47,920 --> 02:07:50,560
Speaker 4: Daniels ball in his hand fourth quarter has turned out

2454
02:07:50,560 --> 02:07:54,640
Speaker 4: to be absolutely incredible, But also not for nothing, I

2455
02:07:54,720 --> 02:07:57,960
Speaker 4: trust Coffin. The Lions offense down to a one possession game.

2456
02:07:58,080 --> 02:07:59,640
Speaker 4: Late in the game, I trust them to be able

2457
02:07:59,640 --> 02:08:03,320
Speaker 4: to get a go from anywhere. So yeah, man, I

2458
02:08:03,440 --> 02:08:06,720
Speaker 4: struggle to find the stops that Washington's gonna need to

2459
02:08:06,720 --> 02:08:08,760
Speaker 4: get in this game. I mean that that's the thing

2460
02:08:08,840 --> 02:08:12,400
Speaker 4: that scares me the most for Washington is how do

2461
02:08:12,520 --> 02:08:15,160
Speaker 4: they get even you know, one punt is going to

2462
02:08:15,200 --> 02:08:18,240
Speaker 4: be a glorious thing in this football game. Both these

2463
02:08:18,240 --> 02:08:20,040
Speaker 4: teams are gonna go for it on fourth down anyway.

2464
02:08:20,360 --> 02:08:23,120
Speaker 4: I think it's gonna be just this, this is issue.

2465
02:08:23,520 --> 02:08:26,880
Speaker 4: I'm comfortable hammering the over and I'm still comfortable that

2466
02:08:26,920 --> 02:08:28,680
Speaker 4: the Lions are just gonna overwhelm them.

2467
02:08:29,160 --> 02:08:32,520
Speaker 2: So I want to caution you with the over and again,

2468
02:08:33,000 --> 02:08:36,880
Speaker 2: you have two teams that run the ball and can

2469
02:08:37,280 --> 02:08:38,480
Speaker 2: play ball control.

2470
02:08:39,000 --> 02:08:42,879
Speaker 5: And when you have that, you have a clock that moves.

2471
02:08:43,000 --> 02:08:43,680
Speaker 5: I could see it.

2472
02:08:44,400 --> 02:08:47,720
Speaker 2: I could see something where it's you know, all of

2473
02:08:47,760 --> 02:08:51,960
Speaker 2: a sudden, you look up, it's three nothing Washington and

2474
02:08:52,040 --> 02:08:54,040
Speaker 2: there's four minutes to go in the first quarter.

2475
02:08:54,520 --> 02:08:55,560
Speaker 5: Detroit's on the move.

2476
02:08:56,160 --> 02:09:00,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, that will that will absolutely screw this up for everybody.

2477
02:09:00,160 --> 02:09:04,280
Speaker 4: I question, you know, you hand the ball off to

2478
02:09:05,200 --> 02:09:08,040
Speaker 4: either I'm not you know, Sonic or Knuckles in this

2479
02:09:08,080 --> 02:09:11,360
Speaker 4: point worst nicknames ever. But you hand the ball off

2480
02:09:11,400 --> 02:09:14,160
Speaker 4: to those running backs, it's just easy for me to

2481
02:09:14,200 --> 02:09:16,760
Speaker 4: see a three yard run become a forty yard run.

2482
02:09:16,960 --> 02:09:19,040
Speaker 4: That's the thing. Like, I think chunk players are going

2483
02:09:19,120 --> 02:09:22,640
Speaker 4: to be there for these teams. So I hear your caution,

2484
02:09:22,760 --> 02:09:24,360
Speaker 4: I throw it to the wind. I think this is

2485
02:09:24,360 --> 02:09:27,280
Speaker 4: an offensive game. I still believe that you're gonna just

2486
02:09:27,320 --> 02:09:31,800
Speaker 4: see massive yardage out of out of nowhere on big plays.

2487
02:09:32,080 --> 02:09:36,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, all right, I listen, I feel you, I feel you.

2488
02:09:36,200 --> 02:09:36,880
Speaker 5: I respect it.

2489
02:09:39,120 --> 02:09:44,440
Speaker 2: Washington last week thirty five minutes and twenty six seconds.

2490
02:09:44,640 --> 02:09:48,040
Speaker 2: Tampa had the ball for twenty four minutes and thirty

2491
02:09:48,080 --> 02:09:49,040
Speaker 2: four seconds.

2492
02:09:49,360 --> 02:09:51,400
Speaker 3: That is wild. That is wild.

2493
02:09:52,360 --> 02:09:57,120
Speaker 2: They Tampa, which again is a terrific offensive team.

2494
02:09:57,360 --> 02:10:02,920
Speaker 5: Right, one hundred and eighty four yards total.

2495
02:10:05,880 --> 02:10:07,600
Speaker 3: I mean that's crazy, I.

2496
02:10:07,520 --> 02:10:09,400
Speaker 5: Know, I mean.

2497
02:10:10,760 --> 02:10:13,320
Speaker 2: One hundred and eighty three passing yards? Are you kidding me?

2498
02:10:14,920 --> 02:10:19,640
Speaker 2: And it's not like Mike Evans didn't have his way, right.

2499
02:10:19,480 --> 02:10:22,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, no, I will say.

2500
02:10:23,080 --> 02:10:25,600
Speaker 4: Mike Evans ate, he ate in that game. And Baker

2501
02:10:26,160 --> 02:10:28,080
Speaker 4: Baker was was good in that game, and you're right,

2502
02:10:28,120 --> 02:10:30,160
Speaker 4: and then you see those numbers and it is pretty staggering.

2503
02:10:32,360 --> 02:10:34,200
Speaker 5: Now I will say this.

2504
02:10:35,920 --> 02:10:39,360
Speaker 2: The one Like I could see I'm on Saint Brown

2505
02:10:39,480 --> 02:10:44,800
Speaker 2: having a monster because I think Washington secondary is gettable.

2506
02:10:45,960 --> 02:10:51,440
Speaker 2: I think Washington's front's better better, but Washington's secondary can

2507
02:10:51,480 --> 02:10:56,760
Speaker 2: be had. Like Lattimore, who is I had a great career,

2508
02:10:58,360 --> 02:11:00,000
Speaker 2: he got it and you know he's got to think

2509
02:11:00,080 --> 02:11:02,560
Speaker 2: with Mike Evans. You know, Latimore and Evans go at

2510
02:11:02,560 --> 02:11:07,760
Speaker 2: it and it wasn't even close. Like you know, Evans

2511
02:11:08,320 --> 02:11:10,440
Speaker 2: had his way. Now he's gonna Now is Latimore staying

2512
02:11:10,480 --> 02:11:16,120
Speaker 2: with Saint Brown and it? What about Tammis and Williams. Yeah,

2513
02:11:16,200 --> 02:11:21,240
Speaker 2: Like I could see the Lions passing game having.

2514
02:11:21,000 --> 02:11:21,760
Speaker 5: A field day.

2515
02:11:23,400 --> 02:11:28,280
Speaker 2: Like if I were Detroit, if I'm the Lions, and

2516
02:11:28,360 --> 02:11:32,280
Speaker 2: I love Gibbson and Montgomery, right, but if I'm the Lions,

2517
02:11:34,000 --> 02:11:38,280
Speaker 2: I attack early. You know, I know they love to

2518
02:11:38,360 --> 02:11:41,280
Speaker 2: establish run and run clock and do the Madden thing.

2519
02:11:42,440 --> 02:11:43,360
Speaker 5: I'm not doing that.

2520
02:11:43,640 --> 02:11:49,000
Speaker 2: I'm attacking and I'm trying to score quickly and early

2521
02:11:50,280 --> 02:11:53,760
Speaker 2: because I want to send a message to Washington that

2522
02:11:53,880 --> 02:11:57,600
Speaker 2: you ain't bleeding the clock on me, You're not holding possessions.

2523
02:11:57,640 --> 02:11:58,440
Speaker 5: You got to score.

2524
02:11:59,800 --> 02:12:01,880
Speaker 2: I want to put the pressure on the Washington, on

2525
02:12:02,000 --> 02:12:10,320
Speaker 2: Daniels and the Washington offense to score touchdowns, and that

2526
02:12:10,400 --> 02:12:14,640
Speaker 2: means I gotta be aggressive through the air. I throw

2527
02:12:14,840 --> 02:12:19,120
Speaker 2: all day and again, I acknowledge that they're a run

2528
02:12:19,160 --> 02:12:22,960
Speaker 2: at they're a run first team with Gibbs in Montgomery,

2529
02:12:23,960 --> 02:12:25,920
Speaker 2: and they're going to probably try to establish that.

2530
02:12:27,080 --> 02:12:27,760
Speaker 5: The hell with it.

2531
02:12:27,840 --> 02:12:33,360
Speaker 2: I attack Washington secondary. I'm going down the field. Nobody's

2532
02:12:33,840 --> 02:12:39,000
Speaker 2: nobody's covering Saint Brown, nobody's covering Jamieson Williams, nobody's covering Laporta,

2533
02:12:40,000 --> 02:12:42,920
Speaker 2: Gibbs on a wheel all day long. I want Jared

2534
02:12:43,000 --> 02:12:45,240
Speaker 2: Goff to throw for three point fifty.

2535
02:12:47,560 --> 02:12:49,600
Speaker 4: The only the only thing that I would add to that,

2536
02:12:49,640 --> 02:12:52,160
Speaker 4: because I think everything you just said is right, and

2537
02:12:52,200 --> 02:12:54,360
Speaker 4: where I become even more convinced the Lions are going

2538
02:12:54,440 --> 02:12:55,680
Speaker 4: to win this game going away?

2539
02:12:56,320 --> 02:12:56,520
Speaker 5: Is it?

2540
02:12:56,680 --> 02:12:58,080
Speaker 3: On top of everything you just.

2541
02:12:58,040 --> 02:13:01,600
Speaker 4: Said, I will add that Washington had the twenty seventh

2542
02:13:01,680 --> 02:13:05,000
Speaker 4: ranked run defense in the NFL this year, and now

2543
02:13:05,200 --> 02:13:07,600
Speaker 4: they gave up one hundred and thirty five yards a game,

2544
02:13:07,680 --> 02:13:09,520
Speaker 4: and crazy enough on.

2545
02:13:09,400 --> 02:13:13,200
Speaker 2: The better on the road, they got better, dude, They

2546
02:13:13,240 --> 02:13:14,120
Speaker 2: got better.

2547
02:13:14,320 --> 02:13:15,800
Speaker 4: Even in the last If you just look at the

2548
02:13:15,800 --> 02:13:17,600
Speaker 4: split over the last three games, they still gave up

2549
02:13:17,640 --> 02:13:19,640
Speaker 4: one hundred and twenty six yards a game, and on

2550
02:13:19,680 --> 02:13:21,640
Speaker 4: the road they give up one hundred and forty five

2551
02:13:21,720 --> 02:13:22,320
Speaker 4: yards game.

2552
02:13:22,680 --> 02:13:23,840
Speaker 3: Like, that's my.

2553
02:13:23,840 --> 02:13:26,839
Speaker 4: Whole thing here is that I believe that the Lions

2554
02:13:26,880 --> 02:13:28,600
Speaker 4: will be able to beat them no matter what they do.

2555
02:13:28,920 --> 02:13:31,640
Speaker 4: So in my mind, they're gonna come because you can

2556
02:13:31,800 --> 02:13:35,040
Speaker 4: run on the Commanders even though you're right, it was better,

2557
02:13:35,240 --> 02:13:38,320
Speaker 4: but it wasn't good. And now the Lions come out

2558
02:13:38,360 --> 02:13:41,120
Speaker 4: with the full backfield, I think that Washington's gonna have

2559
02:13:41,120 --> 02:13:42,880
Speaker 4: to They're damned if they do, and damned if they don't.

2560
02:13:42,920 --> 02:13:45,520
Speaker 4: If they try and stop the run, then they're gonna

2561
02:13:45,560 --> 02:13:48,320
Speaker 4: have to all out commit to that the Lions are

2562
02:13:48,320 --> 02:13:50,400
Speaker 4: gonna carve them up. If they set back because they're

2563
02:13:50,400 --> 02:13:52,000
Speaker 4: worried that the Lions are gonna carve them up, and

2564
02:13:52,040 --> 02:13:54,400
Speaker 4: they keep that box light, the Lion's gonna run all

2565
02:13:54,440 --> 02:13:56,800
Speaker 4: over them. Like I I don't know that the Lions

2566
02:13:56,840 --> 02:13:59,600
Speaker 4: are gonna punt in this game. I just that's that's

2567
02:13:59,640 --> 02:14:02,760
Speaker 4: why I think the Lions win going away. Honestly, by

2568
02:14:02,800 --> 02:14:04,680
Speaker 4: the time it's done, like, I think the Lions win

2569
02:14:05,040 --> 02:14:08,680
Speaker 4: at least comfortably because I don't think Washington will be

2570
02:14:09,000 --> 02:14:12,640
Speaker 4: like okay, unless there's just an array of stupid turnovers

2571
02:14:12,640 --> 02:14:13,800
Speaker 4: that we can't predict.

2572
02:14:14,160 --> 02:14:16,840
Speaker 3: I don't think Washington can get stops.

2573
02:14:19,200 --> 02:14:21,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, I listen, I feel you.

2574
02:14:21,840 --> 02:14:26,560
Speaker 2: My only thing with add to add is sometimes Detroit

2575
02:14:26,920 --> 02:14:31,040
Speaker 2: can get a little too concern Like I appreciate how

2576
02:14:31,040 --> 02:14:33,360
Speaker 2: they how they like lean into the run, and they

2577
02:14:33,400 --> 02:14:34,520
Speaker 2: should with those backs.

2578
02:14:34,560 --> 02:14:35,080
Speaker 5: I get it.

2579
02:14:35,160 --> 02:14:38,520
Speaker 2: But again I I I would I would try to.

2580
02:14:39,000 --> 02:14:42,360
Speaker 2: I wouldn't work clock like the clock. To me, how

2581
02:14:42,400 --> 02:14:46,080
Speaker 2: the game is played. The pacing of the game is important.

2582
02:14:46,360 --> 02:14:49,760
Speaker 2: I just wouldn't. I wouldn't limit, I wouldn't play the

2583
02:14:49,880 --> 02:14:52,040
Speaker 2: Washington said. Washington's gonna want you to run the ball

2584
02:14:52,600 --> 02:14:55,880
Speaker 2: because they're gonna want They're gonna want clock to to

2585
02:14:56,120 --> 02:14:59,480
Speaker 2: disappear so they can limit possessions.

2586
02:15:00,240 --> 02:15:03,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's It's interesting because I think the Lions are

2587
02:15:03,640 --> 02:15:05,840
Speaker 4: win win. I think these runs. I think if they

2588
02:15:05,840 --> 02:15:08,200
Speaker 4: try and run the ball, might running the ball for

2589
02:15:08,240 --> 02:15:09,760
Speaker 4: three yards, they're going to be running the ball for

2590
02:15:09,800 --> 02:15:11,920
Speaker 4: twelve like a run is going to be like a

2591
02:15:12,440 --> 02:15:13,200
Speaker 4: good I just.

2592
02:15:13,120 --> 02:15:16,440
Speaker 2: Think they're playing batter washing too. Like Bobby Wagner played

2593
02:15:16,480 --> 02:15:19,680
Speaker 2: really well. I mean Bucky Irving could Bucky Irvy is

2594
02:15:19,720 --> 02:15:20,760
Speaker 2: a great running back.

2595
02:15:20,680 --> 02:15:23,600
Speaker 3: Dude, true, very true, I mean very true.

2596
02:15:23,840 --> 02:15:26,360
Speaker 2: I mean, well that Tampa back and they tried to

2597
02:15:26,440 --> 02:15:27,720
Speaker 2: run the ball and they couldn't.

2598
02:15:29,080 --> 02:15:33,680
Speaker 4: But this was also the Lions team that was shorthanded

2599
02:15:33,720 --> 02:15:35,800
Speaker 4: on offense and was supposed to be stymied by a

2600
02:15:35,880 --> 02:15:39,320
Speaker 4: Vikings defense that was just coming in hot and well coached,

2601
02:15:39,480 --> 02:15:42,280
Speaker 4: and they didn't slow them down at all, you know.

2602
02:15:42,280 --> 02:15:44,400
Speaker 2: Like no, I know, And that's why I'm saying they

2603
02:15:44,400 --> 02:15:47,400
Speaker 2: should just throw it, not playing to the but what

2604
02:15:48,120 --> 02:15:50,440
Speaker 2: I don't like to washt the secondary a little bit.

2605
02:15:50,600 --> 02:15:54,200
Speaker 2: So yeah, I just think that I think that matchup

2606
02:15:54,320 --> 02:15:59,280
Speaker 2: is it streams Lions and everyone's white like huge plays

2607
02:16:01,440 --> 02:16:06,760
Speaker 2: all right, Tomorrow it'sno snow game, like it's gonna it's

2608
02:16:06,800 --> 02:16:09,320
Speaker 2: going to start in the morning and then you know,

2609
02:16:09,440 --> 02:16:17,040
Speaker 2: it'll snow steadily throughout the game. Eagles and Rams and

2610
02:16:17,200 --> 02:16:20,560
Speaker 2: both of us, both of us are on the Eagles

2611
02:16:20,720 --> 02:16:23,120
Speaker 2: and don't really see the Rams path.

2612
02:16:24,680 --> 02:16:25,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, how is it.

2613
02:16:25,920 --> 02:16:30,560
Speaker 2: Going to be different than November twenty fourth, the Sunday

2614
02:16:30,640 --> 02:16:32,080
Speaker 2: night before Thanksgiving?

2615
02:16:32,640 --> 02:16:33,720
Speaker 5: How's it going to be different?

2616
02:16:34,600 --> 02:16:35,720
Speaker 3: It is? Yeah, it isn't.

2617
02:16:36,520 --> 02:16:39,080
Speaker 4: I think I think this is going to be such

2618
02:16:39,120 --> 02:16:43,520
Speaker 4: a cool moment for Sakuon. It's just that This is

2619
02:16:43,560 --> 02:16:46,560
Speaker 4: one of those moments where, to your point, I know,

2620
02:16:46,760 --> 02:16:47,800
Speaker 4: how's it going to be different?

2621
02:16:48,360 --> 02:16:49,760
Speaker 3: I can't find an answer.

2622
02:16:49,800 --> 02:16:50,000
Speaker 5: Now.

2623
02:16:50,440 --> 02:16:53,279
Speaker 4: I'll be the first to admit that I wasn't confident

2624
02:16:53,280 --> 02:16:56,640
Speaker 4: in the Rams against the Vikings. The Vikings sort of imploded.

2625
02:16:56,879 --> 02:16:58,600
Speaker 4: I don't think the Eagles are going to implode here,

2626
02:16:58,760 --> 02:17:02,840
Speaker 4: you know. So I totally respect the fact that the

2627
02:17:02,920 --> 02:17:05,400
Speaker 4: Rams were able to was it nine sacks in that

2628
02:17:05,440 --> 02:17:08,200
Speaker 4: game last week, I mean, that was unreal. But also

2629
02:17:08,720 --> 02:17:11,400
Speaker 4: you know, people that were watching that darnold performance will

2630
02:17:11,400 --> 02:17:13,240
Speaker 4: tell you that once he started to get hit, he

2631
02:17:13,320 --> 02:17:15,880
Speaker 4: started to hold the ball for a weird amount of time.

2632
02:17:16,160 --> 02:17:18,320
Speaker 4: He wasn't stepping up in the pocket to avoid some

2633
02:17:18,360 --> 02:17:19,879
Speaker 4: of those sacks that were coming at him. Like, I

2634
02:17:19,879 --> 02:17:22,600
Speaker 4: think there's things he could have done to help himself

2635
02:17:22,680 --> 02:17:26,200
Speaker 4: in that game, and it just didn't happen. So the Vikings,

2636
02:17:26,560 --> 02:17:28,360
Speaker 4: the Vikings mplows it against the Rams.

2637
02:17:28,440 --> 02:17:31,800
Speaker 3: It's a great story, but man, I just don't I don't.

2638
02:17:31,840 --> 02:17:33,360
Speaker 3: I don't see that happening in this game.

2639
02:17:33,480 --> 02:17:36,160
Speaker 4: And you can coach all day long, and you can

2640
02:17:36,200 --> 02:17:38,280
Speaker 4: try all day long, you can have great answers, but

2641
02:17:38,320 --> 02:17:40,520
Speaker 4: the fact is they were run on like that for

2642
02:17:40,560 --> 02:17:43,480
Speaker 4: a reason. I think sae Quon's gonna just it's gonna

2643
02:17:43,480 --> 02:17:45,600
Speaker 4: be Thanksgiving Day for him. He's just gonna feast. He's

2644
02:17:45,600 --> 02:17:47,600
Speaker 4: gonna eat too much. He's gonna eat stretchy pants by

2645
02:17:47,600 --> 02:17:48,280
Speaker 4: the end of this game.

2646
02:17:49,720 --> 02:17:52,320
Speaker 2: And listen, I don't I don't know how they do

2647
02:17:52,400 --> 02:17:57,199
Speaker 2: it physically, They're they're I mean, you're at such a disadvantage.

2648
02:17:58,200 --> 02:18:02,920
Speaker 2: You're dealing with, you know, all the horrific situations that

2649
02:18:03,000 --> 02:18:06,360
Speaker 2: you're dealing with, a horrific situation. The game gets moved

2650
02:18:06,400 --> 02:18:09,879
Speaker 2: to Arizona. You got to go to Arizona on a

2651
02:18:09,920 --> 02:18:13,360
Speaker 2: Monday night. You don't get back home until Tuesday morning.

2652
02:18:14,040 --> 02:18:19,720
Speaker 2: Now you've got to fly east right across country today.

2653
02:18:19,760 --> 02:18:24,840
Speaker 2: They'll be getting today, play game tomorrow at noon the

2654
02:18:25,040 --> 02:18:31,600
Speaker 2: Pacific time, in the cold and snow. I mean, I mean,

2655
02:18:31,640 --> 02:18:35,560
Speaker 2: how how do how do they overcome that against a

2656
02:18:35,640 --> 02:18:39,920
Speaker 2: team that now annih only them on the ground, that

2657
02:18:40,120 --> 02:18:44,920
Speaker 2: matches up with them in the air. You know, I

2658
02:18:44,959 --> 02:18:47,480
Speaker 2: don't know how. I honestly, I can't figure out a

2659
02:18:47,520 --> 02:18:52,680
Speaker 2: way that the Rams win. I mean, other than Karen

2660
02:18:52,760 --> 02:18:59,240
Speaker 2: Williams and uh they load the box. They guess right,

2661
02:18:59,360 --> 02:19:03,440
Speaker 2: They win on first down livid's sake want something and

2662
02:19:03,480 --> 02:19:05,640
Speaker 2: hurts turns the ball over, which he hasn't done.

2663
02:19:07,280 --> 02:19:10,240
Speaker 4: It's just that's a lot of bricks to stack, man.

2664
02:19:10,360 --> 02:19:13,640
Speaker 4: I just I think this game, this game, it's not

2665
02:19:13,680 --> 02:19:15,760
Speaker 4: gonna be a great game. I really like I like

2666
02:19:15,800 --> 02:19:18,160
Speaker 4: Philly to come into this pretty easily. And I also

2667
02:19:18,200 --> 02:19:21,400
Speaker 4: think that part of the narrative here that we're hearing

2668
02:19:21,400 --> 02:19:24,080
Speaker 4: so much is because people have focused on the drama football,

2669
02:19:24,160 --> 02:19:26,400
Speaker 4: not the football of the drama a Philly, not the

2670
02:19:26,440 --> 02:19:28,920
Speaker 4: football a Philly. And the football side of Philly is

2671
02:19:28,920 --> 02:19:29,720
Speaker 4: going to handle this game.

2672
02:19:30,440 --> 02:19:33,560
Speaker 2: And then Sunday night, man I, it's it's the great

2673
02:19:33,560 --> 02:19:36,320
Speaker 2: It's gonna be the could be the greatest game of

2674
02:19:36,360 --> 02:19:41,520
Speaker 2: the season. It's two compelling teams so evenly matched in

2675
02:19:41,959 --> 02:19:47,640
Speaker 2: a a mythical place, you know, talk about the Land

2676
02:19:47,720 --> 02:19:52,640
Speaker 2: of the North Right and Buffalo on a Sunday night.

2677
02:19:53,560 --> 02:19:58,400
Speaker 2: Alan Jackson, Oh my god, it's just a monster movie.

2678
02:19:58,440 --> 02:20:02,279
Speaker 5: It's it's it's so epic.

2679
02:20:04,640 --> 02:20:09,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, that game the NFL couldn't have been. They couldn't

2680
02:20:09,360 --> 02:20:12,640
Speaker 4: have prayed for a better, better end of this whole weekend.

2681
02:20:12,800 --> 02:20:15,000
Speaker 4: And yeah, that game will be worth every answer that.

2682
02:20:15,680 --> 02:20:17,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's gonna be awesome. All right, we'll take quick

2683

2700
02:21:21,320 --> 02:21:25,480

Speaker 4: It's like, well, now I'm sad, you know, like Brain's

2715
02:22:02,600 --> 02:22:04,440

2716

Speaker 3: I'm a diehard Raiders fan.

2721
02:22:19,240 --> 02:22:23,120
Speaker 4: My season seventeen and that second my season ends about

2722
02:22:23,160 --> 02:22:25,360
Speaker 4: week ten usually, so you know, but I get it.

2723
02:22:25,400 --> 02:22:27,240
Speaker 4: Like at the end of the last regular season game,

2724
02:22:27,520 --> 02:22:29,760
Speaker 4: I actually uh, I said to a buddy on text.

2725
02:22:29,800 --> 02:22:32,200
Speaker 4: I was like, well, see in September, and that it

2726
02:22:32,280 --> 02:22:33,880
Speaker 4: hit me. I was like, man, I can't believe that

2727
02:22:33,920 --> 02:22:37,840
Speaker 4: it's already see in September. Like it's it's crazy how long.

2728
02:22:38,240 --> 02:22:40,039
Speaker 4: And we talk about this all the time on this show,

2729
02:22:40,040 --> 02:22:42,280
Speaker 4: but It's crazy how long we have to wait for

2730
02:22:42,480 --> 02:22:44,520
Speaker 4: meaningful football for most of our teams.

2731
02:22:44,520 --> 02:22:47,200
Speaker 3: Again, it's just oh, it's just getting it where it's

2732
02:22:47,280 --> 02:22:47,720
Speaker 3: my soul.

2733
02:22:49,000 --> 02:22:51,440
Speaker 6: Well, look, god, there's to me, there's five teams that

2734
02:22:51,520 --> 02:22:54,600
Speaker 6: can win this tournament. To me, there's you know, the

2735
02:22:54,720 --> 02:22:57,440
Speaker 6: one game. To me, and it's the look and again happen.

2736
02:22:57,480 --> 02:22:59,400
Speaker 6: There's all these obstance, but to me and the game,

2737
02:22:59,400 --> 02:23:02,920
Speaker 6: I'm obviously just getting even betting, which is a fan

2738
02:23:03,040 --> 02:23:06,119
Speaker 6: point of you. I cannot wait for that Buffalo Baltimore game.

2739
02:23:06,160 --> 02:23:08,240
Speaker 6: We may get some weather issues in the Philly game

2740
02:23:08,240 --> 02:23:10,280
Speaker 6: and in that game, and I just think that that

2741
02:23:10,320 --> 02:23:14,240
Speaker 6: game should be terrific. And I'm really looking forward to

2742
02:23:14,320 --> 02:23:16,760
Speaker 6: an amazing weekend and hopefully, you know, it lives up

2743
02:23:16,800 --> 02:23:17,560
Speaker 6: to the hype everyone.

2744
02:23:18,040 --> 02:23:20,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, man, we were talking about it that games could

2745
02:23:20,360 --> 02:23:21,000
Speaker 2: be ridiculous.

2746
02:23:21,000 --> 02:23:23,960
Speaker 5: All right, let's start where they go through all five.

2747
02:23:24,080 --> 02:23:28,480
Speaker 2: It's got the national championship, So we'll start Kansas City Houston.

2748
02:23:30,040 --> 02:23:32,360
Speaker 6: You know, I think this line was as low as

2749
02:23:32,360 --> 02:23:33,920
Speaker 6: seven and a half. It's got the highest nine and

2750
02:23:33,920 --> 02:23:36,080
Speaker 6: a half. My favorite way to attack this and I

2751
02:23:36,120 --> 02:23:38,080
Speaker 6: bet it. I did it. I took the Chiefs and

2752
02:23:38,120 --> 02:23:41,200
Speaker 6: the teaser. You can easily take them down from eight

2753
02:23:41,240 --> 02:23:43,200
Speaker 6: and a half to lay two and a half is

2754
02:23:43,240 --> 02:23:46,280
Speaker 6: one leg off the teaser. That's what I personally did.

2755
02:23:47,000 --> 02:23:48,879
Speaker 6: I will be very surprised if can say does not

2756
02:23:48,920 --> 02:23:52,080
Speaker 6: win this game. Anthey, as you said before, Chiefs will

2757
02:23:52,080 --> 02:23:55,160
Speaker 6: figure out their offensive line. Was the wide receive. This

2758
02:23:55,280 --> 02:23:57,720
Speaker 6: is again out of all we talked about. It's not

2759
02:23:57,760 --> 02:24:00,440
Speaker 6: when you play team who you play, but also when

2760
02:24:00,480 --> 02:24:02,440
Speaker 6: you play them. And to me, this Chiefs team, Anthony,

2761
02:24:02,959 --> 02:24:05,840
Speaker 6: this is the best they've been all season in terms

2762
02:24:05,879 --> 02:24:09,280
Speaker 6: of health, in terms of just the way they look.

2763
02:24:09,480 --> 02:24:13,600
Speaker 6: In my opinion is they have all the receivers they

2764
02:24:13,600 --> 02:24:17,119
Speaker 6: have now, Hopkins, Hollywood, Brown is back. Worthies really stepped

2765
02:24:17,160 --> 02:24:20,320
Speaker 6: into a legitimate role. I obviously Kelsey, you know, the

2766
02:24:20,400 --> 02:24:22,840
Speaker 6: veteran and for the postseason, will be there to check

2767
02:24:22,879 --> 02:24:24,720
Speaker 6: IM not sure if his health per se. That's the

2768
02:24:24,760 --> 02:24:26,720
Speaker 6: one thing which was a little better from candasity point

2769
02:24:26,720 --> 02:24:29,760
Speaker 6: of view. But I just don't think that in my opinion,

2770
02:24:29,800 --> 02:24:34,240
Speaker 6: Houston has enough to keep up with Kansas City. They've

2771
02:24:34,240 --> 02:24:37,000
Speaker 6: got a great win last weekends the charters. But to me,

2772
02:24:37,720 --> 02:24:40,920
Speaker 6: I just can't say in the playoffs right Like I'm

2773
02:24:40,920 --> 02:24:44,280
Speaker 6: just not going to fight it, love them and the teasers. Uh,

2774
02:24:45,000 --> 02:24:46,840
Speaker 6: just decide itself. With the eight and a half still

2775
02:24:47,000 --> 02:24:47,680
Speaker 6: in Kansas City.

2776
02:24:48,400 --> 02:24:50,280
Speaker 4: All right, So let's get your thoughts on the game.

2777
02:24:50,320 --> 02:24:53,560
Speaker 4: We've been like debating. I think all morning we're trying

2778
02:24:53,600 --> 02:24:55,720
Speaker 4: to figure out and I won't say debating. I think

2779
02:24:55,760 --> 02:24:58,320
Speaker 4: we're both sort of on the same page that Washington

2780
02:24:58,440 --> 02:25:01,200
Speaker 4: ultimately is not going to beat the line, but Anthony

2781
02:25:01,240 --> 02:25:04,000
Speaker 4: certainly sees a very clear path for a way for

2782
02:25:04,080 --> 02:25:04,680
Speaker 4: that to happen.

2783
02:25:04,720 --> 02:25:06,520
Speaker 3: How do you see this game playing out?

2784
02:25:07,240 --> 02:25:10,840
Speaker 6: I agree with Anthony on that. I actually bit when

2785
02:25:10,879 --> 02:25:14,080
Speaker 6: it went to ten, and I did take ten with Washington.

2786
02:25:14,600 --> 02:25:17,080
Speaker 6: This line again is usually nounce in between eight and

2787
02:25:17,120 --> 02:25:19,720
Speaker 6: a half and nine and a half. Now again, if

2788
02:25:19,720 --> 02:25:22,879
Speaker 6: it's eight and a half, you wanted to tease Detroit

2789
02:25:22,920 --> 02:25:24,280
Speaker 6: down the lane two and a half, I have no

2790
02:25:24,320 --> 02:25:27,000
Speaker 6: problem with that. Again, basic strategies to the threes and

2791
02:25:27,040 --> 02:25:32,600
Speaker 6: the sevens, the teasers. Here's the thing. Washington all year

2792
02:25:32,800 --> 02:25:34,480
Speaker 6: has just been one of those teams that's been able

2793
02:25:34,520 --> 02:25:36,200
Speaker 6: to stay in these games, even though they played like

2794
02:25:36,240 --> 02:25:39,240
Speaker 6: at Baltimore for example, who is by power rated to

2795
02:25:39,240 --> 02:25:41,760
Speaker 6: be the best team the NFL. Right now, they kept

2796
02:25:41,800 --> 02:25:43,959
Speaker 6: the game close, they lost by seven because of the

2797
02:25:43,959 --> 02:25:47,240
Speaker 6: greatness of their quarterback. The quarterback has made it where

2798
02:25:47,240 --> 02:25:50,720
Speaker 6: this team has basically been in every single game that

2799
02:25:50,840 --> 02:25:52,920
Speaker 6: the big total way way in because the brilliance of

2800
02:25:52,959 --> 02:25:55,800
Speaker 6: the quarterback. And look, let's be honest, his greatest Detroit

2801
02:25:55,920 --> 02:25:58,360
Speaker 6: is and they have to be the best offense and

2802
02:25:58,440 --> 02:26:01,200
Speaker 6: all Pro football by a wide margin. And their defense

2803
02:26:01,240 --> 02:26:06,880
Speaker 6: to me is pedestrian at best. I think that absolutely

2804
02:26:06,959 --> 02:26:12,200
Speaker 6: Washington with mclauren and the greatness of Daniels, can stay

2805
02:26:12,240 --> 02:26:14,920
Speaker 6: within the game. Again, can they get enough stops to

2806
02:26:15,000 --> 02:26:17,080
Speaker 6: win the game? Probably will be hard to do that

2807
02:26:17,160 --> 02:26:19,920
Speaker 6: because I just think it's so hard Detroit. They seemingly

2808
02:26:20,000 --> 02:26:24,360
Speaker 6: never punt and they stimulately score almost every possession. But

2809
02:26:26,040 --> 02:26:29,200
Speaker 6: to me, again, if you can get ten, I personally

2810
02:26:29,200 --> 02:26:31,039
Speaker 6: think it was worth the play. If you can't get ten,

2811
02:26:32,720 --> 02:26:35,720
Speaker 6: but I told you when the teasers, do not mind

2812
02:26:35,879 --> 02:26:39,480
Speaker 6: Detroit laying less than less than three. And I told

2813
02:26:39,480 --> 02:26:41,720
Speaker 6: Anthony before you could find a six and a half

2814
02:26:41,720 --> 02:26:43,400
Speaker 6: of the punts I do like under and punch. You

2815
02:26:43,440 --> 02:26:46,880
Speaker 6: have two coaches that see that never part here. They

2816
02:26:46,920 --> 02:26:48,560
Speaker 6: just go for it, go for it, go for it,

2817
02:26:49,560 --> 02:26:52,600
Speaker 6: and it's long drives a lot, and I do not

2818
02:26:52,600 --> 02:26:53,959
Speaker 6: think there'll be many punts in this game.

2819
02:26:55,280 --> 02:26:58,840
Speaker 5: All right, Rams, And.

2820
02:27:00,680 --> 02:27:03,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, this is my favorite game of the four by

2821
02:27:03,920 --> 02:27:06,840
Speaker 6: a wide margin. By a wide margin. I really like

2822
02:27:06,920 --> 02:27:11,119
Speaker 6: Philadelphia here, guys, I think they are the significantly better

2823
02:27:11,160 --> 02:27:14,320
Speaker 6: team to me. The Rams are getting a lot of

2824
02:27:14,360 --> 02:27:18,640
Speaker 6: credit because of that huge win over Minnesota, which I believe,

2825
02:27:18,720 --> 02:27:20,320
Speaker 6: which is why you have to watch these games. Not

2826
02:27:20,360 --> 02:27:22,800
Speaker 6: just stook at stats. You stook at the stats you'd like. Oh,

2827
02:27:22,879 --> 02:27:25,640
Speaker 6: Sam Donald, I guess he was okay. I thought that

2828
02:27:25,760 --> 02:27:28,119
Speaker 6: was the worst I think I've ever seen a quarterback play.

2829
02:27:28,280 --> 02:27:33,160
Speaker 6: I go that far. He made it absolutely impossible for

2830
02:27:33,240 --> 02:27:36,080
Speaker 6: the Vikings to be competitive with his pocket awareness. It

2831
02:27:36,160 --> 02:27:38,480
Speaker 6: was almost like he was playing drunk out that I

2832
02:27:38,480 --> 02:27:41,320
Speaker 6: don't know. I obviously he wasn't. I'm saying he just

2833
02:27:41,440 --> 02:27:45,039
Speaker 6: didn't have any awareness of what was going on. I

2834
02:27:45,080 --> 02:27:49,760
Speaker 6: don't think that the Rams have enough weapons, guys. Cooper

2835
02:27:49,800 --> 02:27:52,520
Speaker 6: cup that it's now been seven weeks where he's averaging

2836
02:27:52,520 --> 02:27:57,840
Speaker 6: about thirty yards against the great Eagles defense. Could be

2837
02:27:57,840 --> 02:28:00,080
Speaker 6: a weather game here, A lot of props. I like,

2838
02:28:00,080 --> 02:28:03,640
Speaker 6: like Jane when Hurts is under in both casting attempts

2839
02:28:03,680 --> 02:28:06,720
Speaker 6: and completions. He's gone into that almost every game, and

2840
02:28:06,760 --> 02:28:09,520
Speaker 6: a potentially a bad weather game, I see no reason

2841
02:28:09,560 --> 02:28:12,119
Speaker 6: why it's just going to zoom right up when he's

2842
02:28:12,120 --> 02:28:15,200
Speaker 6: been going under about seventy percent of the time. I'll

2843
02:28:15,200 --> 02:28:17,879
Speaker 6: take Saquon over at one eleven and a half. To me,

2844
02:28:18,080 --> 02:28:20,000
Speaker 6: I'm not fighting that he was for. He ran for

2845
02:28:20,040 --> 02:28:22,840
Speaker 6: two to seventy against him last time. I think Eagles

2846
02:28:22,920 --> 02:28:25,000
Speaker 6: romp here. I don't think this game will be competitive.

2847
02:28:25,840 --> 02:28:27,480
Speaker 6: I think the Eagles will be in the thirties and

2848
02:28:27,520 --> 02:28:29,680
Speaker 6: the Rams will be in less than fourteen.

2849
02:28:31,200 --> 02:28:33,760
Speaker 3: That's look I love, by the way, I think we've

2850
02:28:33,840 --> 02:28:35,600
Speaker 3: all sort of agreed on all of this.

2851
02:28:35,680 --> 02:28:38,840
Speaker 4: So then let's get to the epic game of the year,

2852
02:28:38,920 --> 02:28:41,520
Speaker 4: game of the millennium, game of the lifetime of this week.

2853
02:28:41,959 --> 02:28:44,320
Speaker 4: We've got the Ravens and the Bills. What do you

2854
02:28:44,320 --> 02:28:44,720
Speaker 4: got there?

2855
02:28:45,840 --> 02:28:48,720
Speaker 6: You know again? First? You know how, how when I

2856
02:28:48,720 --> 02:28:50,480
Speaker 6: look at this game again, I think it says obviously

2857
02:28:50,480 --> 02:28:52,440
Speaker 6: the hardest game to tack a winner. Clearly, it's just

2858
02:28:52,480 --> 02:28:54,959
Speaker 6: also spread You don't mean they tell you that if

2859
02:28:54,959 --> 02:28:56,640
Speaker 6: you can get one and a half. Again, And we

2860
02:28:56,680 --> 02:28:58,400
Speaker 6: talked about these teasers all the time, which I love

2861
02:28:58,480 --> 02:29:00,360
Speaker 6: doing these teasers and we go to the three and seven.

2862
02:29:01,040 --> 02:29:03,560
Speaker 6: I do like the Bills very much in teasers getting

2863
02:29:03,560 --> 02:29:05,600
Speaker 6: seven and a half because if the Ravens win, I

2864
02:29:05,600 --> 02:29:07,880
Speaker 6: feel very comfortable it's going to be a one score game.

2865
02:29:08,040 --> 02:29:10,200
Speaker 6: It's very comfortable and saying man. So I really do

2866
02:29:10,360 --> 02:29:13,400
Speaker 6: like the Bills quite a bit and teasers just straight up.

2867
02:29:13,560 --> 02:29:14,879
Speaker 6: I do think the Bills are going to find a

2868
02:29:14,879 --> 02:29:18,080
Speaker 6: way here. I do. I think it's just it seems

2869
02:29:18,120 --> 02:29:20,680
Speaker 6: to me like this is their year. Percent It's not

2870
02:29:20,760 --> 02:29:24,959
Speaker 6: a profound statement. You know, every team things this third year.

2871
02:29:25,000 --> 02:29:28,240
Speaker 6: But I just like Buffalo and how they're playing. I

2872
02:29:28,240 --> 02:29:29,960
Speaker 6: think they're playing Buffalo at the best time. And I

2873
02:29:30,000 --> 02:29:33,640
Speaker 6: think losing the eight flowers is a big big thing

2874
02:29:34,400 --> 02:29:37,039
Speaker 6: for Baltimore. I think now that they're playing a real

2875
02:29:37,040 --> 02:29:40,080
Speaker 6: team on Mike Pittsburgh, not having that kind of playmaker

2876
02:29:40,200 --> 02:29:42,560
Speaker 6: is going to rearch. Luckily had a lot of props

2877
02:29:42,640 --> 02:29:46,840
Speaker 6: like this one. They propped everyone guys, all the Buffalo receivers. Now,

2878
02:29:46,879 --> 02:29:48,800
Speaker 6: I get it's the weather game, I get it, but

2879
02:29:48,959 --> 02:29:52,240
Speaker 6: all these guys are so low keyon Coleman twenty two

2880
02:29:52,280 --> 02:29:53,880
Speaker 6: and a half of Mariy Cooper twenty one and a

2881
02:29:53,959 --> 02:29:58,040
Speaker 6: half in Kate thirty and a half, Matt Collums fifteen

2882
02:29:58,080 --> 02:29:59,800
Speaker 6: and a half. I did all of them over because

2883
02:30:00,400 --> 02:30:02,879
Speaker 6: I don't think this is going to be James Cook

2884
02:30:03,080 --> 02:30:07,080
Speaker 6: running roughshot over a Ravens defense that besides Saquon Barkley,

2885
02:30:07,560 --> 02:30:09,240
Speaker 6: no running back is run over three and a half

2886
02:30:09,320 --> 02:30:11,680
Speaker 6: yards to carry against them all year, beside Saquon Barkley.

2887
02:30:11,959 --> 02:30:13,600
Speaker 6: So the three and a half yards to carry and

2888
02:30:13,600 --> 02:30:14,680
Speaker 6: then say four and a half, I said three and

2889
02:30:14,720 --> 02:30:16,760
Speaker 6: a half. I don't think Cook's gonna have a ton

2890
02:30:16,800 --> 02:30:19,320
Speaker 6: of success if that's the case. I don't think Buffalo

2891
02:30:19,400 --> 02:30:21,160
Speaker 6: is just going to get shut out here. I think

2892
02:30:21,200 --> 02:30:23,200
Speaker 6: they're gonna have to pass, and I'm sure I don't

2893
02:30:23,240 --> 02:30:25,800
Speaker 6: don't have success running the ball. But these guys only

2894
02:30:25,840 --> 02:30:28,800
Speaker 6: need the twenties most of these yards. I you know,

2895
02:30:28,959 --> 02:30:31,080
Speaker 6: I'm taking over one except Shakiir because Shakiro was in

2896
02:30:31,120 --> 02:30:34,640
Speaker 6: the fifties. But I like Buffalo to win a close game.

2897
02:30:35,520 --> 02:30:40,000
Speaker 5: Wow, Bill's bafia a close one, Fitz.

2898
02:30:40,879 --> 02:30:43,160
Speaker 3: I mean, look, I love I think.

2899
02:30:43,680 --> 02:30:46,160
Speaker 4: Let me be honest here, though I'm so scared of

2900
02:30:46,160 --> 02:30:47,560
Speaker 4: this game, I wouldn't play anything in it.

2901
02:30:47,600 --> 02:30:48,360
Speaker 3: I'm just I'm wild.

2902
02:30:49,120 --> 02:30:51,840
Speaker 6: I get that. Yeah, I get that, I get that,

2903
02:30:51,879 --> 02:30:53,640
Speaker 6: But you know what's funny fifty in a game like this,

2904
02:30:54,040 --> 02:30:56,520
Speaker 6: it should be competitive. I mean last year, I remember

2905
02:30:56,520 --> 02:30:58,520
Speaker 6: when the Chiefs played the Bills said the same thing,

2906
02:30:58,560 --> 02:30:59,920
Speaker 6: I go, this will come down and the last play,

2907
02:31:00,120 --> 02:31:04,520
Speaker 6: I just it's basically it did. The kicker missed a

2908
02:31:04,600 --> 02:31:06,600
Speaker 6: forty four yard field goal when they were down by

2909
02:31:06,720 --> 02:31:10,760
Speaker 6: three points, and then the Chiefs took three knees similar

2910
02:31:10,800 --> 02:31:13,600
Speaker 6: to that game. I just I will be surprised. I'll

2911
02:31:13,640 --> 02:31:16,240
Speaker 6: be surprised. You know, anything's possible if either team be

2912
02:31:16,360 --> 02:31:19,800
Speaker 6: at margin to win this game. By That's why I

2913
02:31:19,840 --> 02:31:22,920
Speaker 6: do really like the Bills in teasers, but again not

2914
02:31:22,959 --> 02:31:26,240
Speaker 6: having Jay Flowers the game where they needed to come

2915
02:31:26,240 --> 02:31:28,359
Speaker 6: down at the end in score. And yeah, obviously Lamar's

2916
02:31:28,400 --> 02:31:32,880
Speaker 6: brilliance is insane with his running with everything he can do.

2917
02:31:33,000 --> 02:31:35,240
Speaker 6: But Ay, to me, was the one guy on that

2918
02:31:35,320 --> 02:31:37,240
Speaker 6: team that I trusted to make a big play in

2919
02:31:37,280 --> 02:31:40,280
Speaker 6: the passing game. They don't have. That doesn't mean they

2920
02:31:40,320 --> 02:31:42,959
Speaker 6: can't win, guys, but in a game where it's you know,

2921
02:31:43,120 --> 02:31:46,000
Speaker 6: fifty fifty literally with the spread, basically, I think that's

2922
02:31:46,000 --> 02:31:48,400
Speaker 6: the spot where you know that's wably not factor than

2923
02:31:48,400 --> 02:31:50,560
Speaker 6: the line maybe it's fatter than a half point. I'd

2924
02:31:50,640 --> 02:31:54,120
Speaker 6: much rather have Von Baltimore, much rather have Ja Flowers Lang.

2925
02:31:54,320 --> 02:31:55,760
Speaker 6: You know one and a half two is supposed to

2926
02:31:55,800 --> 02:31:59,240
Speaker 6: Lang one one and a half without them.

2927
02:31:58,640 --> 02:32:03,440
Speaker 2: I last thing, uh, the National Championship game. Yeah, I

2928
02:32:03,480 --> 02:32:05,680
Speaker 2: don't know how this thing is close? How do you

2929
02:32:05,720 --> 02:32:06,080
Speaker 2: say it?

2930
02:32:07,440 --> 02:32:10,120
Speaker 6: Uh? Yeah, it's funny. I agree with the anthea. We

2931
02:32:10,160 --> 02:32:14,080
Speaker 6: always talk about matchups, right, matchups, matchups, matchups, and I

2932
02:32:14,120 --> 02:32:16,680
Speaker 6: think the see is, from Ohio State's point of view,

2933
02:32:16,840 --> 02:32:19,000
Speaker 6: the best matchup. They almost going to have my entire draw.

2934
02:32:19,400 --> 02:32:23,320
Speaker 6: I'd go that far. Notre Dame has maximized everything. They have,

2935
02:32:23,760 --> 02:32:28,240
Speaker 6: brilliant coach. But if they are completely impotent on offense,

2936
02:32:28,560 --> 02:32:30,360
Speaker 6: for them to win, they're going to need luck and

2937
02:32:30,400 --> 02:32:32,080
Speaker 6: what I mean like, they're gonna have to get a

2938
02:32:32,160 --> 02:32:37,440
Speaker 6: part return then at fumble that they just pick them

2939
02:32:37,480 --> 02:32:41,240
Speaker 6: up in a ploky interception. They're going to need stuff

2940
02:32:41,240 --> 02:32:43,760
Speaker 6: that shouldn't happen to go their way because to me,

2941
02:32:44,360 --> 02:32:47,680
Speaker 6: it is going to be extremely difficult for this team

2942
02:32:47,800 --> 02:32:50,000
Speaker 6: to score, extremely difficult. The only way I can see

2943
02:32:50,040 --> 02:32:52,800
Speaker 6: it happening. Guys did that. And if chick Kelly just

2944
02:32:52,879 --> 02:32:54,920
Speaker 6: decides to just be all right, I'm gonna run on

2945
02:32:54,959 --> 02:32:57,199
Speaker 6: you every single play, which I just like it against

2946
02:32:57,200 --> 02:32:59,280
Speaker 6: Michigan when I oh, we're gonna be more physical, I don't.

2947
02:32:59,520 --> 02:33:01,760
Speaker 6: I don't see that. I'm I think, Ohio, see it

2948
02:33:01,800 --> 02:33:03,320
Speaker 6: will win this game. And I think they'll win it

2949
02:33:03,720 --> 02:33:07,600
Speaker 6: by double digits. And I did play actually under Forgit yesterday,

2950
02:33:07,600 --> 02:33:09,640
Speaker 6: but under in the first quarter, under twelve and a

2951
02:33:09,640 --> 02:33:12,600
Speaker 6: half points. I lead a dollar fifty. But the reason

2952
02:33:12,640 --> 02:33:15,039
Speaker 6: I like this again, if you need two touchdowns for

2953
02:33:15,640 --> 02:33:17,960
Speaker 6: it to lose. And basically I'm saying, I don't think

2954
02:33:18,120 --> 02:33:20,360
Speaker 6: your name's going to score. I don't think I'll have

2955
02:33:20,360 --> 02:33:21,760
Speaker 6: to see its going to score two touchdowns in the

2956
02:33:21,760 --> 02:33:22,240
Speaker 6: first quarter.

2957
02:33:23,280 --> 02:33:26,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel the same thing, brother, I feel the

2958
02:33:26,320 --> 02:33:26,840
Speaker 2: same thing.

2959
02:33:27,560 --> 02:33:27,840
Speaker 5: Brain.

2960
02:33:28,160 --> 02:33:31,200
Speaker 2: Great stuff, buddy, Good luck to you this week and

2961
02:33:31,360 --> 02:33:32,960
Speaker 2: enjoy the great weekend of football.

2962
02:33:33,000 --> 02:33:34,120
Speaker 3: Man. Appreciate your brother, and.

2963
02:33:34,959 --> 02:33:36,600
Speaker 6: It's a good luck to your raiders in the next

2964
02:33:36,640 --> 02:33:38,000
Speaker 6: forty years of making the playoffs.

2965
02:33:38,280 --> 02:33:41,480
Speaker 4: You know one day it'll happen.

2966
02:33:41,640 --> 02:33:44,240
Speaker 5: It will, it will have it. Trust us, it will

2967
02:33:45,400 --> 02:33:46,680
Speaker 5: see you. Boddy, take care.

2968
02:33:47,600 --> 02:33:49,640
Speaker 2: I want to give a little yo to my man

2969
02:33:50,440 --> 02:33:53,080
Speaker 2: the chill and Emelia listening.

2970
02:33:53,879 --> 02:33:57,200
Speaker 5: Emilio a great Eagles fan and Chill is not uh

2971
02:33:57,680 --> 02:34:01,720
Speaker 5: you college Jill?

2972
02:34:02,120 --> 02:34:05,440
Speaker 2: All right, boys, We'll be right back fifteen and I

2973
02:34:05,680 --> 02:34:08,359
Speaker 2: right here on Fox Sports Radio.

2974
02:34:09,800 --> 02:34:12,440
Speaker 3: Song hits different when it's the last weekend of football season?

2975
02:34:12,600 --> 02:34:12,840
Speaker 5: Right?

2976
02:34:13,080 --> 02:34:15,080
Speaker 3: Did it my way? The NFL did this year?

2977
02:34:15,959 --> 02:34:19,360
Speaker 4: Anthony, Anthony Gargano, Jason Vitz, the Fellas on Fox Sports

2978
02:34:19,440 --> 02:34:22,120
Speaker 4: Radio hit me, I'm not gonna lie, coming at your

2979
02:34:22,160 --> 02:34:25,000
Speaker 4: lie from the tyrack dot Com studios. I felt like

2980
02:34:25,120 --> 02:34:27,080
Speaker 4: I felt the joy, joy, joy, joy down in my

2981
02:34:27,120 --> 02:34:30,560
Speaker 4: heart when we started. But and Anthony and the Brain

2982
02:34:30,640 --> 02:34:32,320
Speaker 4: and both pointed out to me that this is the

2983
02:34:32,440 --> 02:34:36,840
Speaker 4: last Saturday of football that we'll have college or NFL

2984
02:34:36,879 --> 02:34:39,760
Speaker 4: all the way until what late August September.

2985
02:34:39,879 --> 02:34:40,879
Speaker 3: Ah, that's crazy.

2986
02:34:41,160 --> 02:34:44,280
Speaker 4: It's crazy to think how quickly this season has gone by.

2987
02:34:44,879 --> 02:34:47,560
Speaker 4: And it's crazy to think how much even when we've

2988
02:34:47,640 --> 02:34:51,560
Speaker 4: lamented bad football weekends, or bad games, or cupcakes in

2989
02:34:51,600 --> 02:34:54,000
Speaker 4: college football, or all of the things that are wrong

2990
02:34:54,080 --> 02:34:56,800
Speaker 4: with the NFL and college football both, even as much

2991
02:34:56,800 --> 02:34:59,240
Speaker 4: as we've lamented them, what we have to acknowledge is that.

2992
02:35:00,120 --> 02:35:02,320
Speaker 3: In about four months.

2993
02:35:02,240 --> 02:35:05,760
Speaker 4: Will be just absolutely giving anything to have football to watch.

2994
02:35:06,400 --> 02:35:08,440
Speaker 4: It's one of the great things about what we get

2995
02:35:08,480 --> 02:35:09,920
Speaker 4: to when we get to this point of the season.

2996
02:35:10,000 --> 02:35:12,280
Speaker 4: And I said it earlier, but I'm going to double

2997
02:35:12,320 --> 02:35:15,080
Speaker 4: down on the fact that, you know, frankly, one of

2998
02:35:15,080 --> 02:35:17,880
Speaker 4: the toughest parts of this weekend is that two MVP

2999
02:35:18,080 --> 02:35:21,119
Speaker 4: candidates are going to face off in an epic matchup

3000
02:35:21,120 --> 02:35:23,800
Speaker 4: between the Ravens and the Bills. Josh Allen Lamar Jackson.

3001
02:35:24,080 --> 02:35:26,280
Speaker 4: All eyes are going to be on both of these quarterbacks.

3002
02:35:26,280 --> 02:35:28,480
Speaker 4: But the funny part about it is what we need

3003
02:35:28,560 --> 02:35:31,640
Speaker 4: to remember when the outcome is said and done, is

3004
02:35:31,640 --> 02:35:33,760
Speaker 4: the context for what we got. Like, there's a very

3005
02:35:33,840 --> 02:35:37,039
Speaker 4: real scenario here where one of these quarterbacks plays just

3006
02:35:37,520 --> 02:35:39,760
Speaker 4: lights out, has the game of their life, and their

3007
02:35:39,800 --> 02:35:43,520
Speaker 4: team still loses. And like, that's why I got to remember, brother, Like,

3008
02:35:43,680 --> 02:35:46,039
Speaker 4: can't I say it all the time, Anthony, wins and

3009
02:35:46,080 --> 02:35:49,240
Speaker 4: losses are not a quarterback stat and we just we

3010
02:35:49,680 --> 02:35:52,560
Speaker 4: apply that constantly. It's like, oh, if Lamar lose, this confident.

3011
02:35:52,680 --> 02:35:54,520
Speaker 4: Like the funny thing is there's a part of me

3012
02:35:54,600 --> 02:35:56,920
Speaker 4: that I'll be honest, I'm rooting for Lamar to a

3013
02:35:56,959 --> 02:36:00,400
Speaker 4: certain extent, just because I'm so tired of Lamar haters

3014
02:36:00,480 --> 02:36:03,080
Speaker 4: using the playoffs is the reason that Suddenly, a guy

3015
02:36:03,120 --> 02:36:05,879
Speaker 4: that might end up being a three time MVP suddenly

3016
02:36:05,920 --> 02:36:06,680
Speaker 4: isn't good enough.

3017
02:36:06,760 --> 02:36:07,720
Speaker 3: Like, it's just stupid.

3018
02:36:08,160 --> 02:36:10,720
Speaker 5: It is stupid, It's ridiculous.

3019
02:36:11,560 --> 02:36:11,760
Speaker 3: You know.

3020
02:36:11,879 --> 02:36:14,320
Speaker 5: The other thing, too, is like you watch.

3021
02:36:14,800 --> 02:36:20,519
Speaker 2: Great quarterback play and like Joe Barrow, well, Joe Burrow's

3022
02:36:20,560 --> 02:36:22,560
Speaker 2: team de bank they didn't make the playoffs.

3023
02:36:23,560 --> 02:36:25,680
Speaker 5: How in the world is that Joe Burrow's fault?

3024
02:36:26,360 --> 02:36:30,840
Speaker 2: Right, Like you watch great, great quarterbacks, great quarterbacks, I mean,

3025
02:36:30,959 --> 02:36:33,160
Speaker 2: give me a break, and like, all of a sudden,

3026
02:36:33,200 --> 02:36:37,160
Speaker 2: I heard, well, see Herbert stinks. Herbert does not stink.

3027
02:36:37,560 --> 02:36:41,520
Speaker 2: Herbert will be very good. They need to add more weapons.

3028
02:36:41,720 --> 02:36:47,720
Speaker 2: He's got one receiver in mcconkeie. I mean, it's amazing

3029
02:36:48,280 --> 02:36:54,800
Speaker 2: how we judge quarterbacks in a team game and blame

3030
02:36:54,920 --> 02:36:59,480
Speaker 2: them for every mishap. It's it's it's crazy.

3031
02:36:59,600 --> 02:37:04,560
Speaker 4: Fits We truly expect quarterbacks to be some level of

3032
02:37:04,600 --> 02:37:07,800
Speaker 4: like Jesus in this process, no mistakes.

3033
02:37:07,520 --> 02:37:08,240
Speaker 5: Gotta walk away.

3034
02:37:08,720 --> 02:37:09,880
Speaker 3: It's gotta be perfect like you.

3035
02:37:10,160 --> 02:37:13,320
Speaker 4: It doesn't, you know, however, ripping Jordan Love, Fitzy, You're

3036
02:37:13,360 --> 02:37:15,840
Speaker 4: ripping Jordan Love and I'm going okay.

3037
02:37:15,959 --> 02:37:21,480
Speaker 2: He lost his best offensive lineman in Jenkins early in

3038
02:37:21,520 --> 02:37:25,000
Speaker 2: that game. All right, Dennis Center goes down at the end,

3039
02:37:25,000 --> 02:37:29,560
Speaker 2: but you're without your best o lineman. What and your

3040
02:37:29,600 --> 02:37:32,080
Speaker 2: losing receivers left and right? What do you want the

3041
02:37:32,160 --> 02:37:32,560
Speaker 2: kid to do?

3042
02:37:34,080 --> 02:37:37,320
Speaker 4: And the funny thing is an offensive lineman blows an

3043
02:37:37,360 --> 02:37:39,520
Speaker 4: assignment and it leads to a sack, and we don't

3044
02:37:39,600 --> 02:37:41,960
Speaker 4: sit there and over and over and over again say well,

3045
02:37:42,000 --> 02:37:44,480
Speaker 4: that offensive lineman is trash, doesn't belong in the league.

3046
02:37:44,680 --> 02:37:46,680
Speaker 4: A quarterback, even if they make a bad reading it

3047
02:37:46,720 --> 02:37:49,520
Speaker 4: leads to an interception. Suddenly we're like, oh, this guy's

3048
02:37:49,520 --> 02:37:51,840
Speaker 4: a bomb. Get him out of there. Okay, Like just

3049
02:37:51,959 --> 02:37:55,759
Speaker 4: we just need to recalibrate that expectation, especially before this weekend.

3050
02:37:56,160 --> 02:38:01,039
Speaker 2: And understand the importance of protection. And it's around that quarterback.

3051
02:38:01,080 --> 02:38:03,720
Speaker 2: But it's gonna be it. It's gonna be an awesome weekend, brother,

3052
02:38:04,160 --> 02:38:07,640
Speaker 2: all right, I enjoy every second of it.

3053
02:38:08,120 --> 02:38:09,560
Speaker 3: No, you know, I will come on now.

3054
02:38:10,080 --> 02:38:13,480
Speaker 2: Oh man, I know, I know. Don't forget everybody. It's

3055
02:38:13,520 --> 02:38:16,640
Speaker 2: the last full weekend. All right, we love you guys.

3056
02:38:16,800 --> 02:38:19,320
Speaker 2: Enjoy it. We'll talk to you next week. Fellas are

3057
02:38:19,360 --> 02:38:19,600
Speaker 2: out
