1 00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:19,720 Speaker 1: Ye playoffs are here, baby, Welcome to good morning football. 2 00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:22,760 Speaker 1: We're live in New York City. Happy Monday, January tenth. 3 00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:25,759 Speaker 1: That two hundred and seventy second game was played and 4 00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:28,600 Speaker 1: it was a doozy Welcome to our breakfast table. My 5 00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:31,600 Speaker 1: name is Kate Kyle brand Fewer Schrager, Super Bowl champion 6 00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:34,800 Speaker 1: Shan O'Hara up in the morning to you. What's up, buddy? 7 00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:39,120 Speaker 1: So extra football last night we did. We had a 8 00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:42,519 Speaker 1: wild Week eighteen in general on the AFC side everyone. 9 00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:44,960 Speaker 1: The Jags upset the Colts in the one o'clock window, 10 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,320 Speaker 1: the Steelers took down the Ravens, and overtime were set 11 00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:51,440 Speaker 1: the stage for the Chargers Racers last night's season finale 12 00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:54,040 Speaker 1: of the regular season, and it was win and in 13 00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:56,440 Speaker 1: ty would mean they both get in. So that was 14 00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:59,080 Speaker 1: the story and the narrative all week in leading up 15 00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:02,160 Speaker 1: to this one and further Ado highlights are breakfast. Come 16 00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:04,399 Speaker 1: on out, baby, This is a fair tale. Shirley would 17 00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:06,160 Speaker 1: never end in a tie. Kay laid it out. If 18 00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:08,320 Speaker 1: these two teams tie, they both get in, means the 19 00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:11,880 Speaker 1: Steelers don't get in. Justin Herbert the young gun Slinger. 20 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,960 Speaker 1: Their cars never played in a playoff game. Raiders take 21 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:18,399 Speaker 1: the lead going into halftime. Y'all ain't seemed nothing yet, 22 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:22,840 Speaker 1: Believe me, this is just the appetizer. Third quarter, this 23 00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:25,080 Speaker 1: is when things starts to get weird. The Chargers are 24 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:26,560 Speaker 1: gonna go for one and fourth one from their only 25 00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:29,600 Speaker 1: eighteen yard line, and they lose two yards. It was 26 00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:32,240 Speaker 1: the worst work down attempt of the season. Say what 27 00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:34,399 Speaker 1: you want about the decision. It had no shot as 28 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:38,160 Speaker 1: good as Ekeler was ghost stuffed. Fourth quarter, Now this 29 00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,720 Speaker 1: is when we get good five seconds. This is the 30 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:42,720 Speaker 1: last play of the game. If they make a stop, 31 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,760 Speaker 1: they're going. If they tie it, it's bedlam touchdown the 32 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:49,720 Speaker 1: fastball in the end zone. So Mike Williams Herbert at 33 00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:53,880 Speaker 1: triple zeros, they go to ot. Now that the Raiders 34 00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,440 Speaker 1: gonna feel go early. So thirty two twenty nine under 35 00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,120 Speaker 1: five to the the player. Gotta have this one. Guys were 36 00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:01,600 Speaker 1: tired knowing the Chargers kickers history. Like I was, like, 37 00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,720 Speaker 1: all right, they made it. Chargers fans didn't trust that. 38 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 1: Thirty two. There's a sign that says take the time. 39 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,120 Speaker 1: Remember once again, if they tie, they're vot from the playoffs. 40 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:13,680 Speaker 1: Now this is really weird. The Chargers call a timeout 41 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 1: as the clock is running out. Herbert right there says, 42 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,360 Speaker 1: I never wanted a tie so bad. They give it 43 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:21,640 Speaker 1: to Josh Jackins on the third or four after the timeout, 44 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,079 Speaker 1: he makes a really nice run for ten yards to 45 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:27,840 Speaker 1: make it a considerably closer field goal. Again, if they stopped, 46 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:29,639 Speaker 1: they stop right now. They're going to the playoffs. Don't 47 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:31,359 Speaker 1: even need to kick it, but that would eliminate the 48 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:38,200 Speaker 1: Steelers for the win. Good Raiders in Chargers out, Steelers 49 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 1: in Game of the year, Week of the year, mass 50 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 1: hysteria thirty five to thirty two. A lot to unpack 51 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 1: from this, but everybody this morning is talking about Brandon 52 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 1: Staley calling the time out, And here are all of 53 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 1: the principles involved on their thoughts on that time out 54 00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:58,680 Speaker 1: and what it did to them. You know, I've been 55 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,000 Speaker 1: waiting for eight years to make a playoffs and I 56 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 1: made it in twenty sixteen, but I didn't get to 57 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:04,960 Speaker 1: play and then I made it this year. And anyone 58 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,519 Speaker 1: chasing worldly things, you know, trust me, I've been waiting 59 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:08,960 Speaker 1: and praying for some things. Yeah, I want to make 60 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 1: the playoffs. I want to try, you know, well, certainly 61 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 1: talk about it on a sideline. We want to see 62 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:14,239 Speaker 1: if they're gonna call a timeout or not on that run. 63 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,359 Speaker 1: They didn't, so we thought they were thinking the same thing. 64 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:17,920 Speaker 1: And then we popped the run in there and gives 65 00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:19,400 Speaker 1: chance to kick the field goal to win it. So 66 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:21,520 Speaker 1: we're certainly talking about it. Yeah, we needed to get 67 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:23,000 Speaker 1: into right grouping. We felt like they were going to 68 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:24,799 Speaker 1: run the ball, so we wanted to get our best 69 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 1: eleven personnel run defense in make that substitution so that 70 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:29,240 Speaker 1: we could get a play where we would deepen the 71 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 1: field goal. Yet, you know, we obviously didn't execute well enough, 72 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,280 Speaker 1: but we wanted to get our premium one background defense 73 00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 1: in here, and that's what we did. All right, Kyle 74 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:39,680 Speaker 1: said it. We got a lots to get into with this, 75 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 1: and but first let's set the stage in same way 76 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 1: to end the twenty twenty one regular season of the 77 00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 1: playoff matchups for Super wild Card weekend are locked in 78 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 1: cemented permanent marker. Why don't doesn't exist? This is it? 79 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:54,200 Speaker 1: The matchups on Saturday, it's Raiders Bengals in Cincinnati, Patriots 80 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,240 Speaker 1: Built Part three. That's that'll be a beautiful game. On 81 00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 1: Sunday Eagles, Bucks, Niners, Cowboys thence Ler's Chiefs onto Monday 82 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 1: night to wrap it all up. It as an NFSC 83 00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 1: West showdown between the Cardinals and the Rams, but it 84 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 1: all starts with those Raiders, and congratulations to them of course, 85 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 1: incredible season finale. Couldn't have drawn it up better for 86 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:18,039 Speaker 1: Game two seventy two. But shrigs that time out really 87 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 1: is what everybody's talking about. Yeah, let's break it down 88 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:21,680 Speaker 1: a little bit further, because Kyle did a great job 89 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,560 Speaker 1: in the highlight. But to set the context, the Raiders 90 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:26,719 Speaker 1: were up by fifteen points, the Chargers come all the 91 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:28,640 Speaker 1: way back. They needed freakish things to happen in the 92 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,800 Speaker 1: early window. It's all there for him. And with thirty 93 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,360 Speaker 1: eight seconds left to go, it appears to me as 94 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:36,800 Speaker 1: the viewer, and from what all here, the Raiders were 95 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,279 Speaker 1: quite all right, just letting that clock tick out. Brandon 96 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 1: Stanley calls a timeout. Explanation he gives is that he 97 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,560 Speaker 1: wanted to get the right grouping in. But I'm not 98 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 1: so sure, so certain the Raiders were even going for 99 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,600 Speaker 1: anything here? Are they going for the jugular? I don't know. 100 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:54,240 Speaker 1: We may never know. But Rich Masachia said, once Staley 101 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:57,680 Speaker 1: called a timeout and almost challenge the Raiders and said 102 00:04:57,720 --> 00:04:59,920 Speaker 1: what you got, step into the ring. What you got. 103 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,360 Speaker 1: The Raiders were not going to just settle for a knee, 104 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:05,400 Speaker 1: and the Raiders decided let's run the Baltimore time and 105 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:08,440 Speaker 1: whatever the grouping was, it was ineffective, didn't work. And 106 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:11,160 Speaker 1: then Carlson comes out and hits the game winning field 107 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,400 Speaker 1: goal to send the Raiders what are we doing? Because 108 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,280 Speaker 1: at the very least, if you don't call time out, 109 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 1: the Raiders are looking around. They've got to make a 110 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 1: play and then you can live to fight the next 111 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,000 Speaker 1: down and see. By calling a time out, you give 112 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,520 Speaker 1: the Raiders an opportunity to collect themselves. So, okay, how 113 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:27,920 Speaker 1: do we want to handle this? Look Brandon Staley when 114 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 1: he was going forward and fourth and down, fourth down 115 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 1: all season long, we're praising him. Analytics, people love them. 116 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,039 Speaker 1: We love his aggressive natures. What we want? He said, 117 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,839 Speaker 1: bring all the smoke when it doesn't go right, here's 118 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 1: the smoke. I don't know if that timeout changes the 119 00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,360 Speaker 1: course of the twenty twenty one NFL season. It's not 120 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,359 Speaker 1: only the Chargers but for the entire NFL. I know 121 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:48,080 Speaker 1: we're all going to focus on that time out, and 122 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:50,680 Speaker 1: it did feel like for anybody that has a brother 123 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:52,520 Speaker 1: and when you're kind of rustle with your brother and 124 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:54,240 Speaker 1: one of you has got somebody in a headlock and 125 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:55,720 Speaker 1: you're like, all right, you give up, you give up, 126 00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 1: but he's like, yeah, yeah, I'm good. And then as 127 00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 1: soon as they let go up a little bit, you 128 00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:00,840 Speaker 1: start fighting again. No, like you said, uncle, And they 129 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 1: had that feel to it. The Raiders ran the ball 130 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 1: twice right before that, so they were already in there. 131 00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 1: Hey we're gonna run defense as well, so people are 132 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,880 Speaker 1: gonna question that as well as all year long, Kyle, 133 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:13,880 Speaker 1: you talked about going for two. They had gone for 134 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:17,120 Speaker 1: two all year long, and then they kicked going overtime, 135 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 1: so I thought, hey, here's his chance to just go 136 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,960 Speaker 1: in the regulation you thought I thought he was going 137 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:23,680 Speaker 1: to go for I think I think he made the 138 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:25,680 Speaker 1: right move by going to Actra football because the way 139 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,240 Speaker 1: Herbert was playing was phenomenal. But this game, I mean, 140 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 1: how can you not be excited for Derek Carr And look, 141 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,520 Speaker 1: from a stat standpoint, justin Herbert stole the show, and 142 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:35,240 Speaker 1: the fact that he's not in the playoffs, I think 143 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:37,559 Speaker 1: we all feel a little bit cheated. As NFL fans. 144 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:39,320 Speaker 1: But for Derek Carr to get his first playoff game 145 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 1: and to get it the way that he did, the 146 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:42,880 Speaker 1: stats don't really show how big of a game Derek 147 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 1: Carr had. He made some unbelievable throws. He scrambled around, 148 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,919 Speaker 1: made some big time plays with his legs too. Some 149 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 1: of the biggest throws really were taken away because of 150 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 1: the penalties. You showed him on the highlights, the personal fouls. 151 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,760 Speaker 1: But I think this Raiders defense showed something. Chris Collins 152 00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,240 Speaker 1: were talked about how tired the charges, wider recends work. 153 00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:02,560 Speaker 1: Their tongues were four down, four down, think about trying 154 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,320 Speaker 1: to cover those guys. This Raiders defense showed some toughness 155 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:08,320 Speaker 1: and Max Crosby just kept coming. He kept bringing the heat, 156 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 1: kept bringing the heat. He was in his in Herbert's 157 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:12,240 Speaker 1: baseball game all he was awesome. What are your thoughts on? 158 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:15,080 Speaker 1: It was nuts? It was really unusual and I just 159 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:16,720 Speaker 1: want to say, I've never had more fun in my 160 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:20,000 Speaker 1: life on Sunday so good, and that includes my childhood 161 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,040 Speaker 1: and anything like watching the eighty five Bears as a 162 00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,559 Speaker 1: six year I've never had more fun. I can't believe 163 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:26,720 Speaker 1: it came down to that We talked for a week 164 00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:29,880 Speaker 1: about this fantastical fantasy of what if they tied? Do 165 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:31,800 Speaker 1: you understand the things that had to happen for it 166 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,040 Speaker 1: to get to that. It wasn't just that the Jaguars 167 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 1: were fifteen point underdogs who won by fifteen points. It's 168 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:39,720 Speaker 1: a little weird. It's just a million things in that game. 169 00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:41,800 Speaker 1: A miss two point conversion, they're down twelve in the 170 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:43,400 Speaker 1: fourth quarter, they're non twelve. It's not gonna be a 171 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 1: It was a tie. And I think what you're saying 172 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 1: about Brandon Staley about I want to get the right 173 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 1: personnel group, it totally makes perfect sense as a football explanation. 174 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,080 Speaker 1: All I can say is, if you were watching the game, 175 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:57,360 Speaker 1: there was something intangible going on where it felt like 176 00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:00,200 Speaker 1: the Raiders were gonna tie. They call it time out 177 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,720 Speaker 1: and there is five seconds of silence on NBC and 178 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:05,480 Speaker 1: cons Worth just goes what he had no idea what 179 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:08,360 Speaker 1: to say. It's because if you didn't see it, you're like, well, yeah, 180 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:10,800 Speaker 1: you want to get your your linebackers in their defense tackles. No, 181 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 1: there was something about the clock and the Raiders and 182 00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:17,120 Speaker 1: their body language and their conduct where they're like, we're chill, 183 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:20,720 Speaker 1: we're good, and something about calling that time out slapped 184 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:22,400 Speaker 1: them in the face. And it was kind of that 185 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 1: thing we talked about last week, the prisoner's dilemma. All 186 00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,200 Speaker 1: of a sudden, I don't think the Raiders trusted the 187 00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:30,239 Speaker 1: Chargers that they were cool. So if they're saying whoa, whoa, whoa, 188 00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:33,439 Speaker 1: if you just blinked and you're you're calling the time now, 189 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:35,440 Speaker 1: we're going to win. We were going to chill and 190 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:37,000 Speaker 1: we're both going to hug each other and we'll see 191 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,240 Speaker 1: each other the playoffs. It was reading the room something 192 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:42,520 Speaker 1: watching the game on the broadcast at home and certainly 193 00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:44,240 Speaker 1: on the Raiders. Did you see Herbert on the sideline? 194 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:46,200 Speaker 1: I've never wanted a tie so bad in my life. 195 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:50,160 Speaker 1: Car explicitly said after the game that time out changed 196 00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:53,400 Speaker 1: our approach. It was a fascinating psychological do going on, 197 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:55,760 Speaker 1: where all the football says, okay, called time okay, it's ready, 198 00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:59,280 Speaker 1: not watching at home, watching at home said guys, don't 199 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:01,160 Speaker 1: blink and let's both go to the playoffs, and the 200 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,640 Speaker 1: Chargers blanked and Peter specifically moves Michelle Tafoya, who asked 201 00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:08,360 Speaker 1: Derek Carr did it impact the offensive strategy. His quote, 202 00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 1: It definitely did obviously, but we knew no matter what, 203 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 1: we didn't want to tie. We wanted to win the 204 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,600 Speaker 1: football game. Yeah, and they did and at the end, 205 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,360 Speaker 1: once they blank Kyle, they did it. And like you know, 206 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,280 Speaker 1: after the game, Austin Eckler's talking afterwards one of the 207 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:25,080 Speaker 1: Charger players and they caught the cliff and who was told, hey, 208 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,160 Speaker 1: we were going for the tie, was like, oh, oh 209 00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:29,200 Speaker 1: my gosh, you're right. If you watch it back, and 210 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:30,880 Speaker 1: I'm sure we'll run this game a million times on 211 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,640 Speaker 1: NFL Network this week. Like the Raiders were no rush 212 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:35,440 Speaker 1: to get to the line to try to get to 213 00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:37,560 Speaker 1: get to field goal positions. They were taking their sweet time. 214 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:39,640 Speaker 1: They're taking time off the clock. And the second the 215 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:41,920 Speaker 1: Chargers said time out, it was like, all right, we're on. 216 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:43,680 Speaker 1: If you want to do that, let's go, let's go. 217 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 1: It was the craziest game. Well, not just the time out, 218 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:49,160 Speaker 1: because we had to point out if they don't get 219 00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:51,920 Speaker 1: that ten yard run by josh Agos, they're not he's 220 00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:55,080 Speaker 1: punting it. So the fact that conversation, we should be 221 00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:58,800 Speaker 1: having time out, whatever, bad call, bad decision. The Chargers 222 00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:01,240 Speaker 1: had an entire season to fix the run defense, and 223 00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:03,120 Speaker 1: they didn't do it at all. This has been a 224 00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:05,560 Speaker 1: terrible run defense. Sorry, through and through. It's a team 225 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,000 Speaker 1: I really like, but it ultimately costs them in the 226 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,760 Speaker 1: biggest spot in my opinion, regardless of personnel. Yes, Riard 227 00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:14,480 Speaker 1: as a person Yeah, all right, let's bring it in 228 00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:16,000 Speaker 1: rab mot more on this game. Of course, we'll set 229 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:17,920 Speaker 1: your playoff pictures. We've got lots of ins and outs. 230 00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:20,200 Speaker 1: How did the Colts lose to Trevor Lawrence that somehow 231 00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:22,679 Speaker 1: happened and the blue chip stock that Kyle buys into 232 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,560 Speaker 1: and the Steelers still alive in the playoff picture? But Ian, 233 00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:27,840 Speaker 1: what is the latest? What's happening in Seattle is of 234 00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:30,720 Speaker 1: course a Monday four hour show here on Good Morning Football, 235 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,440 Speaker 1: to keep our eyes on any moves that might be made. Yeah, 236 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:35,840 Speaker 1: of course, Kase, we know when the day the season 237 00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:38,959 Speaker 1: ends is when the ownerships and those in charge have 238 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:41,440 Speaker 1: some tough decisions to make. No, Pete Carroll's not going 239 00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:43,839 Speaker 1: to get fired as one lost record, one of the 240 00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:47,120 Speaker 1: best coaches in the NFL. But they are working with 241 00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:51,080 Speaker 1: Jody Allen, a new owner essentially new owner, the sister 242 00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:53,160 Speaker 1: of the late Paul Allen. Who has a decision to 243 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:56,160 Speaker 1: make and has kept it very under wrapped. From what 244 00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:59,040 Speaker 1: I understand, what Seattle wants to do is get together 245 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,640 Speaker 1: and look at what they plan to do for the future. 246 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:05,280 Speaker 1: Get with Gentlemanrew john Schnider, get with coach Pete Carroll 247 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:08,200 Speaker 1: and talk about what other plans, what are their visions 248 00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,440 Speaker 1: for moving forward. If everyone is on the same page, 249 00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:14,000 Speaker 1: and they should be fine moving forward, and figure out 250 00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,600 Speaker 1: what to do with Russell Wilson. Mike care Fold said 251 00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 1: they do not plan to trade him, but of course 252 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:21,120 Speaker 1: they will talk about that. They're on the same page, 253 00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,520 Speaker 1: they'll be good to go. They're not on the same page, 254 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:25,920 Speaker 1: and certainly Seattle may have an interesting decision to make 255 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:27,920 Speaker 1: it something we've got our eyes on all day. What 256 00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:29,120 Speaker 1: do you do with Russell Wilson, What do you do 257 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:31,719 Speaker 1: with the contract of Bobby Wagner going into next year? 258 00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:33,559 Speaker 1: And Pete Carroll on his own, who as one hundred 259 00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:37,080 Speaker 1: and nineteen wins, the most in Seahawks history and it 260 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:40,199 Speaker 1: was his first losing season since back in twenty eleven. 261 00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:45,000 Speaker 1: I just hope, guys, really this all seasons, just take 262 00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:47,400 Speaker 1: the time and just realize what we had in front 263 00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:50,280 Speaker 1: of us and let this feeling, you know, just burn 264 00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,880 Speaker 1: through their heart and go out and have the best 265 00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:56,560 Speaker 1: off seasons possible and just training to be the best, 266 00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,240 Speaker 1: and you know, just outwork absolutely everybody else. That's the 267 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:02,280 Speaker 1: mindset that I'm till the guys whenever, whenever I can. 268 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:04,760 Speaker 1: You know, just attacked all the season, just like you 269 00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:06,760 Speaker 1: attacked the season. So then when the season come, you know, 270 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:08,960 Speaker 1: we can hit the ground running and we're can rock 271 00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,800 Speaker 1: and road. Don't have a slow start, and hopefully this 272 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:13,360 Speaker 1: year and that year whatever, and when we get back 273 00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:15,599 Speaker 1: out there, you know, we have an opportunity to go 274 00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:18,240 Speaker 1: out and perform. We got to perform up under pressure 275 00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:22,040 Speaker 1: or whatever it is. I feel for Darius Leonard. He's 276 00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:23,720 Speaker 1: a friend of the show. We watched him on Hard 277 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 1: Knocks in season. Such a leader on that defense and 278 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,840 Speaker 1: on that team and their future, their destiny was in 279 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,600 Speaker 1: their hands and their hands alone in terms of the 280 00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:34,920 Speaker 1: Colts and what they could do against the Jags. Trevor 281 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,800 Speaker 1: Lawrence a coach that was fired, gone in the room coach. 282 00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:41,160 Speaker 1: How did they lose to the Jags? Kyle, It's crazy, 283 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:43,640 Speaker 1: it doesn't make any sense. It's this If that's what 284 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:45,839 Speaker 1: this could team has been through with missing players, and 285 00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:48,520 Speaker 1: Leonard was out there, Taylor was out there, Nelson was 286 00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:51,320 Speaker 1: out there. They had all their guys and they were 287 00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 1: fifteen point favorites and lost by fifteen points. If you've 288 00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:56,000 Speaker 1: watched Hard Knocks EVE, if you haven't, you know that 289 00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:58,360 Speaker 1: this team buys in that was. This wasn't some flimsy 290 00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:00,640 Speaker 1: team that's wavered now. They were locked then and ready 291 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:02,680 Speaker 1: for the playoffs and they got hammered. And the real 292 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:04,319 Speaker 1: shame of it, I think, as far as the Colts go, 293 00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:06,640 Speaker 1: is that like there's been a real progress this year 294 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,079 Speaker 1: with the whole Carson Wentz thing, big talent, the guy 295 00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,400 Speaker 1: who no one really believes in and is mentally about 296 00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:13,360 Speaker 1: this big he had made huge leaps and bounds on 297 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:16,040 Speaker 1: that and then just fifty steps backwards, and now the 298 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:18,200 Speaker 1: whole off season is you can't trust Carson Wentz and 299 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,160 Speaker 1: he's got nothing between the ears. It's a huge shame 300 00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:22,880 Speaker 1: and I can't believe what I saw. Yeah, Christopher Maltasant, 301 00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:24,600 Speaker 1: they made huge leaps and bounds too. And then at 302 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:26,440 Speaker 1: the end of the day is Christopher Malta San had 303 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:29,000 Speaker 1: an intervention. That's the Sopranos reference. Guys This is what 304 00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,080 Speaker 1: it is. This is what Carson Wentz is. And in 305 00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:34,040 Speaker 1: the biggest moment when out he was terrible yesterday and 306 00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:36,120 Speaker 1: I hate saying it, like picking on him personally, but 307 00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:38,600 Speaker 1: this is our job. And if you're Colts fan this morning, 308 00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:41,319 Speaker 1: you're wondering, what the heck happened? Peter? Was this him 309 00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:44,480 Speaker 1: sitting on Cosette the dog. Terrible moment, sentting on a 310 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:47,160 Speaker 1: dog on a couch. It was how can we be 311 00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:51,920 Speaker 1: nice to him? What are we doing? You're you're going sopranos, 312 00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:54,600 Speaker 1: You're Uncle Chaz, paulm and Terry Bronxtel is Carson Wentz 313 00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:56,560 Speaker 1: the mush? We need to put him in the bathroom 314 00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:59,280 Speaker 1: because you've got the NFL's leading rusher, Jonathan Taylor right 315 00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:01,240 Speaker 1: now and he's gonna be sit home watching the playoffs. 316 00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:04,000 Speaker 1: That shouldn't happen. Hammer And look Carson Wentz like it 317 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:06,040 Speaker 1: was not just the turnover he got, eating a live 318 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,560 Speaker 1: in the pocket, the sacks. This office was tough to 319 00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:10,920 Speaker 1: watch if you're waking up as a Jags fan. Though 320 00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:12,640 Speaker 1: I don't think there could have been a better day 321 00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:15,320 Speaker 1: in all of du ball. You take down a divisional opponent, 322 00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:17,280 Speaker 1: you knocked them out of the playoffs. You still have 323 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,480 Speaker 1: the number one pick next year, and your quarterback that 324 00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:23,080 Speaker 1: you drafted looked like your franchise guy last night, so 325 00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:25,920 Speaker 1: last to be excited about.

Ian Rappaport, Tom Pellasero both 335 00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:10,440 Speaker 1: joining us, and I guess, gentlemen, we should kick it 336 00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:15,040 Speaker 1: off in the NFC North Breaking news. Bears fire, Matt Nagee, 337 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:18,920 Speaker 1: GM Ryan Pace also out in Chicago, Brian Flores out 338 00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:21,480 Speaker 1: in Miami. Ian where would you like to begin? We'll 339 00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:24,280 Speaker 1: start with these Chicago Bears. This was an expected move 340 00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:26,880 Speaker 1: that Matt Nagee would be out. It certainly seems at 341 00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:29,520 Speaker 1: peace with this decision, and he is no dummy. He 342 00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:31,200 Speaker 1: knew this was coming. I think a lot of people 343 00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:33,480 Speaker 1: knew this was coming. But what maybe we did not 344 00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:36,360 Speaker 1: know what was coming was a full house cleaning for 345 00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:39,760 Speaker 1: these Chicago Bears. It is not just Matt Nagee is out, 346 00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:42,560 Speaker 1: it is also general manager Ryan Pace, who of course 347 00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:45,840 Speaker 1: also drafted Justin Fields, the quarterback they believe is the 348 00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:49,280 Speaker 1: quarterback of the future. Now and some new general manager, 349 00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:52,680 Speaker 1: new head coach were inhered a pretty good situation in Chicago. 350 00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:54,800 Speaker 1: If you believe in Justin Fields, if you think he 351 00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:57,520 Speaker 1: is a franchise quarterback, certainly this is a place to 352 00:15:57,600 --> 00:15:59,920 Speaker 1: be with not a first round draft pick for now 353 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:02,000 Speaker 1: ex year, but a lot of talent currently on the roster, 354 00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:04,240 Speaker 1: plenty of time to go over that. But a full 355 00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:07,640 Speaker 1: house cleaning in Chicago and then a big time surprise 356 00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:10,600 Speaker 1: in Miami. We've known for some time that there's been 357 00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:14,800 Speaker 1: tension between a general manager Chris Greer and head coach 358 00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:16,920 Speaker 1: Brian Flores. Just was not sure which way it was 359 00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:18,560 Speaker 1: going to go. And I know the two sides we 360 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:20,240 Speaker 1: thought had gone a long way over the past couple 361 00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:22,480 Speaker 1: of weeks to smooth things out of work on the relationship. 362 00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:26,479 Speaker 1: In the end, no Flores is out. He is officially 363 00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:29,840 Speaker 1: done as the Miami Dolphins head coach and Chris Greer 364 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:32,520 Speaker 1: stays as the general manager. If you look at Flores, 365 00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:36,800 Speaker 1: his record is good. This is a very respected coach 366 00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:38,600 Speaker 1: in the NFL. I would not be surprised if he 367 00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:43,400 Speaker 1: garnered a significant, significant interest in this coaching cycle. Considered 368 00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:45,440 Speaker 1: to be one of the better young coaches in the NFL. 369 00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:48,200 Speaker 1: Perhaps it was some of the relationships in Miami. Steven 370 00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:51,240 Speaker 1: Ross has a history of moving on very, very very quickly, 371 00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:53,920 Speaker 1: and Tom in this case, I did it with a 372 00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:57,200 Speaker 1: surprise this morning. That's right, and that was not the 373 00:16:57,240 --> 00:17:00,440 Speaker 1: only surprise that we had today. The Vikings fired not 374 00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:04,600 Speaker 1: only head coach Mike Zimmer, but also general manager Rick Spielman. 375 00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,680 Speaker 1: It is a full blow up in Minnesota. Spielman had 376 00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:10,520 Speaker 1: been with the Vikings organization for sixteen years, basically the 377 00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:13,119 Speaker 1: entire time that owners Ziggie and Mark Wilf had owned 378 00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:16,160 Speaker 1: the team. Mike Zimmer had been there the past eight seasons, 379 00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:18,119 Speaker 1: had made a couple of playoff runs, but missed the 380 00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:21,359 Speaker 1: playoffs five times in those eight years. At this point 381 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:23,800 Speaker 1: for the Vikings, they're at an inflection point. They also 382 00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:26,000 Speaker 1: have a decision to make going forward on their quarterback, 383 00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:28,920 Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins, who's entering the final year of his contract. 384 00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:31,320 Speaker 1: They have some good young talent to build around, guys 385 00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:34,240 Speaker 1: like Dalvin Cook and Justin Jefferson that will be alluring, 386 00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:36,720 Speaker 1: but of course a quarterback decision that the new person 387 00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:38,960 Speaker 1: in charge, the new head coach and general manager, will 388 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:42,840 Speaker 1: have to decide on. So Minnesota resetting, Chicago, resetting half 389 00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:45,200 Speaker 1: of the NFC North k looking for both a coach 390 00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:47,280 Speaker 1: and a general manager, as we had through this week, 391 00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:51,520 Speaker 1: big quarterback questions looming there in Minnesota. An attractive vacancy 392 00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:54,200 Speaker 1: for a coach because obviously a reset and he might 393 00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:56,879 Speaker 1: have some say in the GM choice up their house 394 00:17:57,040 --> 00:18:00,320 Speaker 1: is cleaned. In the NFC North shregs, what make of 395 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:03,440 Speaker 1: its six coaching vacancies if you include the Raiders, and 396 00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:06,520 Speaker 1: you should on a technicality, yeah, on a technicality, because 397 00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:08,800 Speaker 1: they haven't interviewed anybody else yet, But they haven't hired 398 00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:11,600 Speaker 1: Rich Bisaccia for next season, so you could include the Raiders. 399 00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:13,000 Speaker 1: And I think the Raiders play a role in this 400 00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,880 Speaker 1: whole thing, because Harbaugh's name started popping up this weekend 401 00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:18,080 Speaker 1: when it was connected to the Raiders job. Now I 402 00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:20,280 Speaker 1: want to go back to Miami because I look at 403 00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:23,280 Speaker 1: at Brian Flores and I see a guy that Ian 404 00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:26,200 Speaker 1: mentioned very wisely is going to get head coaching interviews. 405 00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:28,720 Speaker 1: And last time Miami fired a coach, it was because 406 00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:30,600 Speaker 1: of the relationship between the head coach and the owner, 407 00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:32,680 Speaker 1: and it was Adam gas and then Adam Gasler, and 408 00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:34,200 Speaker 1: then the Jets were like, gosh, he just won a 409 00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:36,000 Speaker 1: bunch of games with the Dolphins went the flu will 410 00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,239 Speaker 1: gobble him up. Flores is going to get interviews, and 411 00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:40,080 Speaker 1: I think Flora is going to be suddenly a very 412 00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:45,000 Speaker 1: attractive interview candidate because young, defensive minded and got the 413 00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:46,760 Speaker 1: most out of a team that I don't think had 414 00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:48,840 Speaker 1: a lot going on on all offense this year. I'm 415 00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:51,000 Speaker 1: not carrying the order for Brian Flores. As you probably 416 00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,320 Speaker 1: can imagine, Brian Flores, like all the Belichick guys, do 417 00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:55,399 Speaker 1: not talk to the media. And at the end of 418 00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:57,840 Speaker 1: the day, that kind of stuff might have done him 419 00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:00,359 Speaker 1: in in Miami, where there was a frostiness with the 420 00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:03,000 Speaker 1: rest of the organization, perhaps or he wasn't the media's 421 00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:04,640 Speaker 1: best pal. And I was like, hey, here's this piece, 422 00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:07,320 Speaker 1: here's that Flora's though. That guy can coach, and I 423 00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:08,960 Speaker 1: feel like Kyle you hit it earlier. There might be 424 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:10,960 Speaker 1: a little stain on the Belichick tree right now, whether 425 00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:13,880 Speaker 1: it be Patricia Howard ended in Detroit, McDaniel's Howard ended 426 00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:16,680 Speaker 1: in Denver, and now Flora is three and done no playoffs. 427 00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:19,880 Speaker 1: I said it on Friday, Sean mcvay's coaching tree with 428 00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:23,000 Speaker 1: Matt Laflour and Zach Taylor has more division titles as 429 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:26,320 Speaker 1: head coaches than Belichick's, and Belichick has about thirty head 430 00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:29,280 Speaker 1: coaches out there. Flores now is a free candidate to 431 00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:32,800 Speaker 1: coach for another team, but another Belichick coach fired without 432 00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:34,800 Speaker 1: a division title about another one. You hear in Shadow 433 00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:36,480 Speaker 1: what's going on with the Giants right now? And Joe Judge. 434 00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:38,439 Speaker 1: I know that he's in the building right now, and 435 00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:41,040 Speaker 1: apparently he's meeting with management. I don't know if it's 436 00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:43,119 Speaker 1: about his job stability or just hey, here's what I 437 00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:45,240 Speaker 1: look at next year. But Joe Judge is in the building, 438 00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:47,440 Speaker 1: as what I'm told at the moment. The floors one 439 00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:49,000 Speaker 1: is interesting. He's very well liked and there's a lot 440 00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:51,680 Speaker 1: of supporters for flores both from the media and amongst players. 441 00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:54,439 Speaker 1: Owen six against the Buffalo Bills just get the doors 442 00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:56,359 Speaker 1: blown off him every time they paid, and the Bills 443 00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:58,439 Speaker 1: are that's the team. It's not New England right now, 444 00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:01,000 Speaker 1: it's Buffalo Bills, and it's Josh Allen your third season. 445 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,200 Speaker 1: You started one and seven, and he was an admirable comeback. 446 00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:05,440 Speaker 1: You got him to believe. But like that, that's small 447 00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:08,119 Speaker 1: time stuff. It really is. And I celebrated the comeback 448 00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:10,080 Speaker 1: too until they got their doors blown off again by 449 00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:12,400 Speaker 1: the Titans and their season was over. That's season three. 450 00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:15,280 Speaker 1: You're supposed to have it all together, Chicago. Also, there's 451 00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:17,840 Speaker 1: a thing when these coaches are replaced, you do the 452 00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:19,800 Speaker 1: post mortem about what could have been and if you 453 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:22,199 Speaker 1: got that bounce or if you got that play. Just 454 00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:24,000 Speaker 1: for the sake from Matt Naggie and the Ryan Pace 455 00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:26,000 Speaker 1: regime who are moving on now, can we just take 456 00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:28,680 Speaker 1: one second to go back to January in the twenty 457 00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:31,879 Speaker 1: eighteen season and what might have been? The Bears are 458 00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:34,919 Speaker 1: playing a home playoff game against the Philadelphia Eagles, and 459 00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:37,760 Speaker 1: two things that I am sure will resonate through Matt 460 00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:43,399 Speaker 1: Naggie's life for the rest of his and doin it away. 461 00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:45,720 Speaker 1: They won the division, they beat Aaron Rodgers, they took 462 00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:48,520 Speaker 1: him out, they were surging. Trubisky was confident they would 463 00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:50,080 Speaker 1: have played Dallas next week, where I don't think it 464 00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:52,359 Speaker 1: was anything special. That kick goes in. We may not 465 00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:54,440 Speaker 1: be having this conversation just because and the strength of 466 00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:56,680 Speaker 1: his long, deep playoff run. When coach of the year, 467 00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:59,960 Speaker 1: that's this league, that's this beautiful league that we celebrate 468 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:02,680 Speaker 1: on Sunday Night football last night, it's also a kicker, 469 00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:05,719 Speaker 1: it goes double donk and now you're out of a job. Unbelievable. 470 00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:07,880 Speaker 1: It's just unbelievable. There's so many other teams that had 471 00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:10,359 Speaker 1: so much adversity that they faced. He had a nice, bright, 472 00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:12,920 Speaker 1: shiny piece in Justin Fields could have made it happen. 473 00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:15,120 Speaker 1: And they had a bottom five offense this year, So 474 00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:17,200 Speaker 1: I remove it from that kick. They should have done 475 00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:19,640 Speaker 1: better on the field this year. Yeah, you go from 476 00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:21,479 Speaker 1: you go from a double doink on the field goal 477 00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:23,720 Speaker 1: police post to now the double doink of the coach 478 00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:26,399 Speaker 1: and the GM. Right, you know what, Matt Neggie didn't 479 00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:29,800 Speaker 1: all of a sudden stop coaching or didn't forget how 480 00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:32,600 Speaker 1: to coach. Or he was coaching the same scheme, the 481 00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:34,560 Speaker 1: same stuff and it just did work. It doesn't mean 482 00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:36,520 Speaker 1: Matt Negge is not a good coach anymore. Look, he 483 00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:38,119 Speaker 1: could still coach his butt off. Look at some of 484 00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:40,200 Speaker 1: the game that they want here down the stretch. When 485 00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:42,240 Speaker 1: things don't work out and it's not a great fit, 486 00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:45,639 Speaker 1: change is inevitable. And you know, I think when you 487 00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:47,800 Speaker 1: look at the Bears and you look at when they 488 00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:50,480 Speaker 1: went out and drafted Justin Fields, this was a trial 489 00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:53,760 Speaker 1: run and it was based on what does justin Fields 490 00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:55,399 Speaker 1: looks like the first eight weeks of the season, What 491 00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:57,359 Speaker 1: does it look like the second eight week? If there 492 00:21:57,440 --> 00:21:59,399 Speaker 1: was any kind of progress, if there was anything to 493 00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:02,280 Speaker 1: cling too, I think maybe this is a different story 494 00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:03,960 Speaker 1: right now. Would you say Sea will get you high, 495 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:05,320 Speaker 1: gets you fired? Like in the case of Mike Zimmery, 496 00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:08,040 Speaker 1: they couldn't play defense. The Bears offense was awful, awful 497 00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:11,720 Speaker 1: year after year. If they lose thirty eight to thirty five, fine, 498 00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:13,359 Speaker 1: they can go up and down the field. Mattnege is 499 00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:16,200 Speaker 1: an offensive mind. Where they could not score points, that's 500 00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:18,280 Speaker 1: not there. I also think in the last couple of 501 00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:19,600 Speaker 1: years and the cycles are haven't been a lot of 502 00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:22,760 Speaker 1: GM jobs open that GM's have been able. The Minnesota 503 00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:25,000 Speaker 1: and Chicago GM jobs are very interesting, and those are 504 00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:28,800 Speaker 1: two franchises, the Bears especially that are like the owners 505 00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:32,040 Speaker 1: have been there forever the president is on for another regime, 506 00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:34,480 Speaker 1: like Ted Phillips has been there forever. Well. One of 507 00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:36,600 Speaker 1: these teams hire outside the box as far as a 508 00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:38,440 Speaker 1: GM goes. And what I mean by that is not 509 00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:41,919 Speaker 1: just the traveling scout from this team. Not is there 510 00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:43,600 Speaker 1: going to be someone who says, all right, I'm gonna 511 00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:45,560 Speaker 1: do what the NBA does and we're gonna hire someone 512 00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:47,600 Speaker 1: who's an analytics person in the world, trust the process, 513 00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:49,840 Speaker 1: or I'm gonna hire someone that I don't know has 514 00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:52,000 Speaker 1: never worked in the NFL before, but has run a 515 00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:54,440 Speaker 1: CEO as a CEO of a very positive company that 516 00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:56,320 Speaker 1: has done a lot of great things and is forward thinking. 517 00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:59,280 Speaker 1: I don't know if that's the Bears, MO Vikings, the 518 00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:01,440 Speaker 1: will family, I don't know if that's their m O. 519 00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:04,399 Speaker 1: They're very traditional family too. But like I wonder if 520 00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:06,080 Speaker 1: we stopped because I think Kevin Clark and The Ringer 521 00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:08,320 Speaker 1: had a really good article this week about the GM's 522 00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:11,080 Speaker 1: like why is it always the same names the same voices. 523 00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:13,159 Speaker 1: Why have there not been those outside the box kind 524 00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:15,639 Speaker 1: of hires in twenty twenty two when sports we have 525 00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:18,120 Speaker 1: so much more data, so much more information that maybe 526 00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:20,800 Speaker 1: a big swing. I would love John through that, but 527 00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:23,040 Speaker 1: I would be shocked to me, like, that's not Chicago. 528 00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,040 Speaker 1: Chicago's like, let's go for And I don't know if 529 00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:28,920 Speaker 1: this is the wrong choice, the tenured experienced pedigree. We 530 00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,040 Speaker 1: had Scott Paoli on our show. I would think Chicago 531 00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:33,080 Speaker 1: would be you know more in my opinion from what 532 00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:35,320 Speaker 1: I know historically, they do more interested. But I do 533 00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:38,000 Speaker 1: like that theyre I love Ryan Pace, but they tore 534 00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:40,640 Speaker 1: off the bandit like the reset. All right, So big 535 00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:43,880 Speaker 1: doings in the NFC North. The Bears don't have their 536 00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:47,520 Speaker 1: coach anymore or their GM, which means the longest tenured 537 00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:50,560 Speaker 1: head coach in the NFC North is Matt Lafleur. Wow. Matt. 538 00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:54,280 Speaker 1: Mike Zimmer is also gone and their GM is gone. 539 00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:58,360 Speaker 1: The Bears took care of business and their front offs, 540 00:23:58,359 --> 00:23:59,919 Speaker 1: if you want to call it that, And the Packers 541 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:01,840 Speaker 1: did it on the field early and then locks to 542 00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:03,800 Speaker 1: the Lions Lake, but they already took care of it 543 00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:05,359 Speaker 1: early in the season. They're the number one seed and 544 00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:07,560 Speaker 1: they have a bye. He says, Rogers old the Bears 545 00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:09,560 Speaker 1: as he get in put in my beach on. It 546 00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:14,400 Speaker 1: could be as Pitthie Seawan for Lions, Wind Jacks Wind 547 00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:18,399 Speaker 1: draft over stays the same Trevor Lawrence. Impressive performance to 548 00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:20,439 Speaker 1: leave a nice taste in the mouth for Jacks fans 549 00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:24,080 Speaker 1: excited about the future at the franchise. Quarterback looked good. 550 00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:26,520 Speaker 1: We'll see what the coaching situation looks like. One of 551 00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:30,240 Speaker 1: six moving vacancies that we have and maybe growing. We 552 00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:32,560 Speaker 1: have our eyes on her all day here on good 553 00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:35,400 Speaker 1: morning football time for our g might be game balls. 554 00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:37,760 Speaker 1: We give him out every week and this is no 555 00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:40,359 Speaker 1: different eighteen weeks in a season. Kind of weird. But 556 00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:43,879 Speaker 1: who is your top performer? TJ. Watt the past rusher 557 00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:45,800 Speaker 1: for Pittsburgh Steelers. We are going to the playoffs. And 558 00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:48,680 Speaker 1: who tied Michael Strahan's record for saxon a single season. 559 00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:51,440 Speaker 1: This is historic And here's what I feel good about 560 00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:53,560 Speaker 1: with this t J. Watt thing. You don't have to 561 00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:57,080 Speaker 1: do the asterisk. He did not play seventeen games. He 562 00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:59,680 Speaker 1: played fewer than seventeen, He played fewer than sixteen. He 563 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,080 Speaker 1: did this in a necessary amount of games to tie 564 00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:05,120 Speaker 1: Michael Strahan, which you don't have to hang some big 565 00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:07,520 Speaker 1: astros on it. And you know what, if anything has 566 00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:10,479 Speaker 1: an astress after all these years, Michael Strahan didn't no wrong. 567 00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:13,120 Speaker 1: I'm still putting one on this. Michael Strahan's sack was absurd. 568 00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:14,920 Speaker 1: Brett far at the end of the game, who to 569 00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:17,800 Speaker 1: this day BS is through his teeth and saying, well, 570 00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:19,520 Speaker 1: I had an option to keep on that play, and 571 00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:21,879 Speaker 1: he won't confess that this is the fact that he 572 00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:24,800 Speaker 1: gave Strahan the sack. Strahan's talked openly there's actually a 573 00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:27,320 Speaker 1: burden that had happened this way because it wasn't his fault. 574 00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:29,760 Speaker 1: So I don't blame Strahan at all. But the point 575 00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:32,320 Speaker 1: of this all is rewarding t J. Watt. It is 576 00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:34,159 Speaker 1: a good clean record, which if you ask me, you 577 00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:36,400 Speaker 1: hold single handedly and you get in in the game 578 00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:37,920 Speaker 1: when you're going to the playoffs. The t J. Watt 579 00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:39,680 Speaker 1: have it day that was awesome. Yeah, I was phenomenal, 580 00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:41,960 Speaker 1: And I mean they were chipping TJ. Watt all day long. 581 00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:43,840 Speaker 1: There were hight ends with running backs and he still 582 00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:45,920 Speaker 1: found a way to get to the quarterback. He actually 583 00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:47,720 Speaker 1: had another sack in that game that they took away, 584 00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:51,160 Speaker 1: so he should actually hold the record outright, I'm gonna 585 00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:53,359 Speaker 1: give a game ball to Tom Brady. Look, I think 586 00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:56,120 Speaker 1: I said earlier on the show today, Tom Brady has 587 00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:58,760 Speaker 1: a totally different standard of excellence and we kind of 588 00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:01,159 Speaker 1: hold him to a higher guard than other people. He 589 00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:03,040 Speaker 1: throw us for three hundred yards with three touchdowns that 590 00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:05,600 Speaker 1: we're just like, yeah, a normal day at the office. Look, 591 00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:09,360 Speaker 1: he's no Chris Godwin, no AB's, he's lost Leonard Fournette, 592 00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:11,440 Speaker 1: no Road Joe, and yet he's still out there wheel 593 00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:12,800 Speaker 1: on a deal and all of a sudden, Gronk has 594 00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:16,000 Speaker 1: an unbelievable game and it just doesn't matter, you know, 595 00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:18,440 Speaker 1: Like Tom Brady out there at forty four years old, 596 00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:22,119 Speaker 1: through more passes this season k than any quarterback in 597 00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:24,520 Speaker 1: the NFL. So don't tell me age, And hey, you 598 00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:27,280 Speaker 1: know what, his arm is diminishing as a season goes along. 599 00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:29,399 Speaker 1: He hit the wall. There is no wall with Tom Brady. 600 00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:31,879 Speaker 1: And he threw for five thousand yards. Again, there's only 601 00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:34,359 Speaker 1: two quarterbacks that have done that multiple times, he and 602 00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:36,920 Speaker 1: Drew Brees. And to throw for that many yards, he 603 00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:39,760 Speaker 1: threw one hundred and fifty more passes than Aaron Rodgers 604 00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:41,919 Speaker 1: this season, and at his age to do that, there 605 00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:44,160 Speaker 1: is no decline right now, and he continues to get better. 606 00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:49,360 Speaker 1: I think you should get MVP. Yeah, absolutely, there's absolutely 607 00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:51,280 Speaker 1: an argument for it, a case for it. Look, Aaron 608 00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:53,600 Speaker 1: Rodgers is going to get some votes as well. But 609 00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:55,600 Speaker 1: when you look at Tom Brady, the fact that he's 610 00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:57,520 Speaker 1: out there, he doesn't miss games, he doesn't get hurt, 611 00:26:57,680 --> 00:26:59,680 Speaker 1: you have to take that into account. To your availability 612 00:26:59,880 --> 00:27:01,879 Speaker 1: is just as big as your ability. They've got a 613 00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:05,760 Speaker 1: date with a plant named the Eagles. Rudy WILDCARDI again, 614 00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:09,160 Speaker 1: t alright, I want to talk about Ryan Tannehill, who's 615 00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:12,600 Speaker 1: set to have this prolific season. I stood up there 616 00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:14,680 Speaker 1: at that big board and said top five fantasy season. 617 00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:16,760 Speaker 1: He's got a J Brown and Julio and yes, Ryan 618 00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:21,240 Speaker 1: Tannehill has struggled in moments, but when this team needed him, 619 00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:24,600 Speaker 1: he had his best game and he showed a biggest 620 00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:26,560 Speaker 1: moment of the season. They want to lock up the 621 00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:29,160 Speaker 1: one seed. They want to give Derek Henry an extra 622 00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:32,440 Speaker 1: week to rest and boom two in your eighteen seven yards, 623 00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:35,479 Speaker 1: four touchdowns, critical throws down the stretch to fend off 624 00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:38,760 Speaker 1: the Texans, and they valiantly stormed back into that game. 625 00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:41,480 Speaker 1: Credit to the Texans were putting up a great fight 626 00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:43,800 Speaker 1: for Colley and company down there. But if this is 627 00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:46,280 Speaker 1: the Ryan Tannehill that is going to show up in 628 00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:48,680 Speaker 1: the postseason, I think this is the scariest team in 629 00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:51,560 Speaker 1: the AFC. I'm about okay, all right, I mean I'm 630 00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:55,200 Speaker 1: not going to shake your hands. He's going there. I'll 631 00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:57,280 Speaker 1: show up and looking for that person on television in 632 00:27:57,359 --> 00:27:59,320 Speaker 1: print her who's going to come out boldly and say 633 00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:01,200 Speaker 1: I believe the Titans are gonna win the Super Bowl. 634 00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:04,400 Speaker 1: Super Bowl. I haven't met since one seed one seed. 635 00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:06,840 Speaker 1: It should be right right field. Hasn't happened. I'll shake 636 00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:09,920 Speaker 1: another person's hand. How about Jimmy Garoppolo. Don't squeeze it 637 00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:12,600 Speaker 1: like this because of the the evulsion fracture he was 638 00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:15,240 Speaker 1: dealing with. Jimmy gets my game ball for overcoming so 639 00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:18,080 Speaker 1: much in this game. First, a seventeen point deficit, that's 640 00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:21,000 Speaker 1: one thing. Then you add in the injury. Then you 641 00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:23,840 Speaker 1: add in that maybe the world's greatest left tackle, Trent 642 00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:26,920 Speaker 1: Williams is out for this one. And Jimmy finds a 643 00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:29,840 Speaker 1: way that final drive down twenty four to seventeen, with 644 00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:33,320 Speaker 1: two minutes left to move his team ninety yards, hit Deebo, 645 00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:37,240 Speaker 1: hit Juwan Jennings and find a way. Gosh, Jimmy Garoppolo 646 00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:40,280 Speaker 1: showed everybody watching at home in a nationally televised audience, 647 00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:44,080 Speaker 1: this guy still has what it takes. They didn't put 648 00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:46,760 Speaker 1: Trey Lance in once all week. It was you're gonna 649 00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:48,800 Speaker 1: see a bit of Trey Lance and maybe Jimmy. It 650 00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:51,480 Speaker 1: was Jimmy from the go, and gosh, was he clutch. 651 00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:54,040 Speaker 1: I've got Jimmy Garoppolo as my game ball in what 652 00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,560 Speaker 1: a performance and they go to the playoffs. We've got 653 00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:58,800 Speaker 1: lots going on here. Those are our game balls. We've 654 00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:01,640 Speaker 1: got vacant season growing as we look at the list. 655 00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:03,680 Speaker 1: We've got the Jags. Of course we knew that we're 656 00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:07,120 Speaker 1: on their boat. Now we have Chicago. It's official. No Naggy, 657 00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:11,440 Speaker 1: no Ryan Paced. There a surprise GM firing up in Minnesota. 658 00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:15,000 Speaker 1: Zimmer his time there looked done over this course of 659 00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:19,160 Speaker 1: the season. But Spielman, that was unexpected. Yeah, sixteen years 660 00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:23,400 Speaker 1: there surprise. I think Flores Spielman are big surprises this morning, 661 00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:25,280 Speaker 1: and that just shows you why you watch NFL Network 662 00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:27,680 Speaker 1: because in breaking real news time, we've got Tom Palliser 663 00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:29,960 Speaker 1: when he and Rappaport on it, and we might not 664 00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:32,200 Speaker 1: be done. You've got much more of this up ahead. 665 00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:35,360 Speaker 1: I'm going to get back to your bos Belichick treekay, idea, 666 00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:37,240 Speaker 1: I like that. Guess what we're here for a whole 667 00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:40,640 Speaker 1: other hour, an extra bonus hour, good morning football, leading 668 00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:58,440 Speaker 1: you into NFL Now, Firings, we got you good. Honestly, 669 00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:01,360 Speaker 1: all I'm thinking about is excited, think about the next 670 00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:03,920 Speaker 1: team we got to play, and that everything hurts, you know, 671 00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:06,400 Speaker 1: like once I think I can get some sleep and 672 00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:07,920 Speaker 1: wake up in the more and maybe it'll hit me then. 673 00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:10,000 Speaker 1: But I just have this weird feeling in my heart, 674 00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:12,760 Speaker 1: like the job's not done. Like my favorite player, Kobe said, 675 00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:15,320 Speaker 1: job's not done. It does feel good, it's exciting, but 676 00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:17,640 Speaker 1: I didn't I don't set out to just make the playoffs, 677 00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:20,400 Speaker 1: although it's been since twenty sixteen, right and I didn't 678 00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:23,560 Speaker 1: even get to play. It feels cool, it's awesome, but 679 00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:25,719 Speaker 1: you know our goals, you know this is one of them, 680 00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:29,800 Speaker 1: but there was more after that too. We'll tell him 681 00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:32,640 Speaker 1: what he's one. Bob and a trip to Cincinnati. You 682 00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:35,840 Speaker 1: take on the Bengals. That's the Raiders matchup for Super 683 00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:39,800 Speaker 1: wild Card Weekend, Patriots Bills Apart three, and then on 684 00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:44,120 Speaker 1: Sunday Eagles, Bucks, Niners, Cowboys, Steelers, Chiefs Monday Night to 685 00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:47,120 Speaker 1: wrap it all up, an NFC West showdown. That would 686 00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:50,440 Speaker 1: be your Cardinals and your Rams. If we focus, gentlemen 687 00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:53,520 Speaker 1: on the NFC side of things, is there a matchup 688 00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:56,240 Speaker 1: that sticks out to you on Super wild Card weekend? 689 00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:57,760 Speaker 1: Let's start with you, Peter. Yeah, I'm gonna go to 690 00:30:57,760 --> 00:30:59,840 Speaker 1: the Monday Night one, the first Monday Night one. Now, 691 00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:02,719 Speaker 1: Martin Luther King Day is next Monday. Everyone is going 692 00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:05,000 Speaker 1: to either be home from work or is going to 693 00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:07,160 Speaker 1: be waiting for this football game at night. The tension 694 00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:11,280 Speaker 1: will be building, and sure enough you're gonna have two quarterbacks, 695 00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:14,000 Speaker 1: Kyler and Stafford, who the big rap on them is 696 00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:17,080 Speaker 1: that they can't win the big one. Kyler yesterday they 697 00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:19,600 Speaker 1: went into vision. If he just beats a Seahawks team 698 00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:23,480 Speaker 1: playing for nothing, couldn't get it done. Stafford yesterday eliminates 699 00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:26,440 Speaker 1: the hated forty nine ers and is able to say, hey, 700 00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:28,680 Speaker 1: I finally got over the hump and beat this team. 701 00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:36,000 Speaker 1: If lost coming off to devastatingly confusing, confounding losses both 702 00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:39,760 Speaker 1: teams at home, the forty nine ers and the Cardinals, 703 00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:41,800 Speaker 1: and the Rams now kind of limp into this playoff 704 00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:45,080 Speaker 1: game like it. I am fascinated to see what version 705 00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:46,440 Speaker 1: of both teams we get. And then you go to 706 00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:50,160 Speaker 1: the coaches. Two young coaches, two hot shot coaches, two 707 00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:54,320 Speaker 1: coaches of a long history together. McVeagh owned Kingsbury the 708 00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:57,280 Speaker 1: first two years at Kingsburybury, and then Kingsbury went into 709 00:31:57,480 --> 00:32:00,920 Speaker 1: LA and gave the Rams the business this season. If 710 00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:04,120 Speaker 1: Kyler's healthy, watch out, if Stafford's healthy, watch out. I 711 00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:06,200 Speaker 1: can't wait for this. I want to say that I 712 00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:08,560 Speaker 1: don't think DeAndre Hopkins is playing another football game and 713 00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:10,160 Speaker 1: just play. I don't think that it's a huge thing. 714 00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:12,200 Speaker 1: I think they have to overcome that. I think JJ 715 00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:15,400 Speaker 1: Watton might though, like the Cardinals, I don't think it's 716 00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:17,360 Speaker 1: magically gonna happen. It might have to come down to 717 00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:20,080 Speaker 1: Kyler finding a way on the road. And if you 718 00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:22,040 Speaker 1: want to see who can win the big game, this 719 00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:23,800 Speaker 1: is gonna be it. Monday Night, last one of the 720 00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:26,560 Speaker 1: wild card weekends. The way this season's gone for Arizona. 721 00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:28,240 Speaker 1: You know what's coming down to Kyler at the end 722 00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:30,200 Speaker 1: of the game. We're gonna gotta pull some sort of 723 00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:32,000 Speaker 1: rabbit out of his hat. I'm gonna go with the 724 00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:34,520 Speaker 1: one o'clock game on Sunday, and it's the tam Bay 725 00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:39,920 Speaker 1: Buccaneers hosting the Philadelphia Eagle. About history would suggest that 726 00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:42,720 Speaker 1: Tom Brady does not want to face an NFC East 727 00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:46,200 Speaker 1: opponent in the playoffs. Call at a hunch, But when 728 00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:49,560 Speaker 1: you look at these two offenses, two totally different styles, right. 729 00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:52,040 Speaker 1: I mean the Eagles were ironically a bird that likes 730 00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:53,800 Speaker 1: to fly. They actually like to keep it on the ground. 731 00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:56,800 Speaker 1: They want to run the football. And my question really 732 00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:59,719 Speaker 1: is Jenle Hurts didn't play last week and they got 733 00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:03,000 Speaker 1: thought by the House Cowboys. But at some point, Jala Hurts, 734 00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:04,360 Speaker 1: you're gonna have to throw the ball. You're gonna try 735 00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:05,760 Speaker 1: to find a way to keep up with Tom Brady, 736 00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:07,800 Speaker 1: and I have yet to see it. He hasn't thrown 737 00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:09,280 Speaker 1: for over with three in the yards since Week four. 738 00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:11,960 Speaker 1: And I think when you look at what Tom Brady 739 00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:14,280 Speaker 1: is doing right now, we almost have a totally different 740 00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:16,000 Speaker 1: standard of excellence for Tom like you throw us for 741 00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:17,320 Speaker 1: freend of the yards and three dashes that were like 742 00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:19,880 Speaker 1: he had no big deal, Like he threw for five 743 00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:22,120 Speaker 1: thousand yards this season. That guy right there went off 744 00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:24,800 Speaker 1: gronk and yet we just kind of like, Yeah, that's 745 00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:26,920 Speaker 1: just Tom, That's just what he does. So this is 746 00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:29,000 Speaker 1: I think it's a tough draw for Philly, but I 747 00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:30,719 Speaker 1: think this is gonna be a fun game. I think 748 00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:32,840 Speaker 1: no doubt it's it's gonna come down to the wire. 749 00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:35,080 Speaker 1: Despite all the things I just said about them. Offensively, 750 00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:38,680 Speaker 1: I think that this Eagles defensive front, they could make 751 00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:42,240 Speaker 1: things interesting for Tom led the NFL and completions. Tom 752 00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:44,400 Speaker 1: Brady at a career high in passing at forty four. 753 00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:47,440 Speaker 1: There's a great moment yesterday where Arians comes over and 754 00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:48,719 Speaker 1: says something to Brady at the end of the game, 755 00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:51,240 Speaker 1: but he goes m and everybody's meming it and everything. 756 00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:53,240 Speaker 1: And one of the funny ones I saw was, Hey, Tommy, 757 00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:57,040 Speaker 1: Eagles just signed Nick Foles. They did not. They did 758 00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:58,800 Speaker 1: not infect Nick Foles when the Bears. The season is over. 759 00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:00,800 Speaker 1: But I'm looking at the late one on Sunday, I'm 760 00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:02,960 Speaker 1: looking at that little money window. And in the wake 761 00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:06,120 Speaker 1: of all this incredible, wonderful and John Madden nostalgia. This 762 00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:08,719 Speaker 1: one's got me going already. Niners versus Cowboys, you know 763 00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:10,960 Speaker 1: they haven't played in the playoff game since the nineteen 764 00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:14,200 Speaker 1: ninety four NFC Championship game. That one. Remember, I'm talking 765 00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:17,680 Speaker 1: Dion guarding, Michael Irvin Young and Akman, Like those two 766 00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:21,040 Speaker 1: logos means something that Madden Summer all p Yeah, yeah, 767 00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:22,920 Speaker 1: I mean it's it's like it's like the pre eminent 768 00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:25,640 Speaker 1: Madden Summer all of our generation. But also, let's bring 769 00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:27,080 Speaker 1: it to and that's not all about nineteen ninety four. 770 00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:28,680 Speaker 1: It's about twenty twenty two. I want to see Debo 771 00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:31,040 Speaker 1: Samuel versus Michael Parsons, Like, let's go, like we got 772 00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:34,480 Speaker 1: two well absolute studs running all over the field against 773 00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:36,520 Speaker 1: each other. We know Debo, we know the Debo deal. 774 00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:38,600 Speaker 1: Okay was talking about it last hour. And Debo versus 775 00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:40,920 Speaker 1: Aaron Donald is fine. But those are different weight classes, 776 00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:43,680 Speaker 1: wildly different ones. I want to see that dude against 777 00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:46,160 Speaker 1: number eleven on the Cowboys playing his first playoff game. 778 00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:50,600 Speaker 1: Different styles, different deals, Like Shanahan McCartney is like two 779 00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:54,400 Speaker 1: different worlds to me and two different styles completely. I 780 00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:56,360 Speaker 1: don't really know what to take from Dallas and that 781 00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:59,520 Speaker 1: Bizarro Saturday game other than DA looked really sharp against 782 00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:02,720 Speaker 1: like the Gaysy Eagles, and the Niners are in and believing. 783 00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:05,880 Speaker 1: So the history, the presence, the young talent, the different 784 00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:08,000 Speaker 1: type of coaches, and the sort of mixed bag of 785 00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:10,360 Speaker 1: these two teams going into the playoffs together in that 786 00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:13,960 Speaker 1: late window on Sunday. That's again Shanahan and versus dan 787 00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:18,120 Speaker 1: Quinn the David's corner for do have a little history 788 00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:21,960 Speaker 1: there a little too well. All right, let's take a 789 00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:24,239 Speaker 1: look at the AFC matchup for Super Wilds for the weekend. 790 00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:26,960 Speaker 1: They mentioned the crowd. I think that Raiders Black will 791 00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:30,240 Speaker 1: travel well to Cincinnati to take on the four seed Bengals. 792 00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:34,600 Speaker 1: We got Patriots build around three Sunday night. The Steelers, 793 00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:37,120 Speaker 1: they're in it and they impacted this playoff picture in 794 00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:39,400 Speaker 1: such a big way. They get in the Homes and 795 00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:43,320 Speaker 1: the Chiefs at Arrowheads. So these matchups were locked in 796 00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:47,000 Speaker 1: about eight hours ago. Is there a Super Wildcard matchup 797 00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:50,080 Speaker 1: that looks real spicy to you guys right now? Sign 798 00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:53,440 Speaker 1: me up for Raiders Bengals. I love this gap, Okay, 799 00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:56,200 Speaker 1: I love this. This Bengals home field deal is going 800 00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:57,759 Speaker 1: to be crazy. Kay, you were there. I mean, I 801 00:35:57,800 --> 00:35:59,200 Speaker 1: feel like that place is going to be hyped and 802 00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:01,400 Speaker 1: also back. I'll watch this Raiders team. I don't care 803 00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:03,239 Speaker 1: any week who they're playing, what they're doing, because I 804 00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:06,520 Speaker 1: want to follow that guy, Derek Carr. What a fun story. 805 00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:09,799 Speaker 1: This is two really really surprising teams. No one had 806 00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:11,759 Speaker 1: the Raiders doing anything this year before the season. No 807 00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:13,640 Speaker 1: one had the Bengals zooing all the way as far 808 00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:15,440 Speaker 1: as they're going right now. I think that is a 809 00:36:15,560 --> 00:36:17,759 Speaker 1: really cool matchup of two teams that have surprised all 810 00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:19,400 Speaker 1: of us and have just continue to win, win, win, 811 00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:21,719 Speaker 1: when everyone's like the other shoe's gonna drop. No, it's not, 812 00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:24,920 Speaker 1: They're gonna win. Chiefs are hosting the Steelers and the 813 00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:27,360 Speaker 1: Steelers almost didn't get in. I mean, if that game ties, 814 00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:30,839 Speaker 1: I mean not wanted to see what the point looked 815 00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:33,400 Speaker 1: like in Pittsburgh down there by the stadium because things 816 00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:35,319 Speaker 1: would have been a mess. But this game, we've seen 817 00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:38,080 Speaker 1: this before. Week sixteen, the Chiefs played the Steelers and 818 00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:40,359 Speaker 1: it wasn't even close. The Chiefs blew the doors off 819 00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:43,080 Speaker 1: of them thirty six to ten homes through three touchdowns. 820 00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:46,399 Speaker 1: Roethlisberger threw a pick through one touchdown. But I feel 821 00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:48,600 Speaker 1: like the Steelers are a different team right now. I 822 00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:51,839 Speaker 1: feel like they're playing differently defensively. So this is gonna 823 00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:54,279 Speaker 1: be a tall task for the Steelers defense and T. J. 824 00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:56,320 Speaker 1: Watt and company to try to slow down to the 825 00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:59,400 Speaker 1: Homes and how good they've been. But I just don't know. 826 00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:01,960 Speaker 1: At some point, Ben's gonna have to find a way 827 00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:05,279 Speaker 1: make a play. The last throw that Ben had it 828 00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:08,880 Speaker 1: was like like a Tim Wakefield knuckleball. It was unbelievable. 829 00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:11,279 Speaker 1: What was so fun about yesterday? Including that game? There 830 00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:14,319 Speaker 1: were so many divisional games and it was all this familiarity. 831 00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:17,239 Speaker 1: Name it Jaguars, Colts across the board, Pat's bills. We 832 00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:19,439 Speaker 1: haven't already. I thought we might get this game. Wasn't 833 00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:21,239 Speaker 1: sure we get it in the wildcard round. I liked 834 00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:24,080 Speaker 1: this game because of the stakes and because of the optics. 835 00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:27,120 Speaker 1: Buffalo wins this game, and they beat New England at 836 00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:29,720 Speaker 1: home and everything. It's like the natural passing of the baton. 837 00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:32,440 Speaker 1: They are the true rulers of the AFC East. And 838 00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:34,279 Speaker 1: now it's there and everybody's gunning for him. It's the 839 00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:39,120 Speaker 1: Patriots win this game. Oh my gosh, the horror. Remember 840 00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:41,080 Speaker 1: this in Western New York and Buffalo. Now, they had 841 00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:43,640 Speaker 1: it some home playoff games last year, but it was reduced. 842 00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:45,719 Speaker 1: It was because of COVID. There weren't a ton of fans, 843 00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:47,200 Speaker 1: and then that's all out. This is gonna be the 844 00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:50,200 Speaker 1: full seventy thousand whatever it is. If New England goes 845 00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:53,279 Speaker 1: in there and with the rookie quarterback wins, then it's like, no, no, no, 846 00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:56,919 Speaker 1: this is still ours. And look, that's not been great. 847 00:37:57,120 --> 00:37:58,960 Speaker 1: There's no reason that Buffalo should not win this game. 848 00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:01,879 Speaker 1: Should have They should be favored by a touchdown. If 849 00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:04,400 Speaker 1: they win, they're fine, They're cruise in and maybe they 850 00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:06,440 Speaker 1: win the whole dang thing. But there's just such a 851 00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:09,840 Speaker 1: potential for craziness. If mac Jones is able to go 852 00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:12,600 Speaker 1: in there for the second time in one season and win, 853 00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:14,960 Speaker 1: it makes me nervous if I'm a Bills fan, But 854 00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:17,279 Speaker 1: it also makes me excited to go there and light 855 00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:21,640 Speaker 1: some blank profits this heired. Do they have flaming shots right? 856 00:38:21,719 --> 00:38:25,240 Speaker 1: Like Belichick is the ultimate been there? Yeah, Mac Jones 857 00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:28,040 Speaker 1: the ultimate not been there on the NFL level. So 858 00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:30,719 Speaker 1: they've got an interesting mix the institutional knowledge. I just 859 00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:33,279 Speaker 1: think it's crazy the Raiders win put the Steelers. Just 860 00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:35,239 Speaker 1: how it all shook out with the Raiders winning last 861 00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:37,279 Speaker 1: night incredible for them, what they've got going on, what 862 00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:39,719 Speaker 1: they've been through this year. They got the Steelers in 863 00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:42,840 Speaker 1: and the Bengals now play the Raiders instead of playing 864 00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:45,160 Speaker 1: the Patriots. That was going to be that matchup. Everybody 865 00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:47,479 Speaker 1: pretty much thought so going into it, and the Bills 866 00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:50,000 Speaker 1: get the Patriots instead of place and playing the Raiders 867 00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:52,080 Speaker 1: or the Chargers, which I think is how the fantasy 868 00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:54,759 Speaker 1: gods and the football gods wanted it, no doubt. And 869 00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:57,560 Speaker 1: if they would have tied the Raiders who got the 870 00:38:57,719 --> 00:39:00,759 Speaker 1: Chief to King Kansas City, that might have played a 871 00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:02,960 Speaker 1: factor in it too. I like how it shook I 872 00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:05,400 Speaker 1: think Raiders Bengals is awesome to Okay, you can go 873 00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:07,279 Speaker 1: to that game. Like, if you're the Bengals, did you 874 00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:09,000 Speaker 1: want the Patriots to come to you or did you 875 00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:11,440 Speaker 1: want the Raiders the institutional knowledge with Mac Jones or 876 00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:14,360 Speaker 1: did you want this feisty Raiders squad? If you're the Bengals, 877 00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:17,960 Speaker 1: I think you would probably prefer the experience the lack 878 00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:20,440 Speaker 1: of experience on the Raiders side coming at Yeah, probably, 879 00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:23,320 Speaker 1: let's stop turkey. This the end of this week. Anybody 880 00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:25,480 Speaker 1: picking the Raiders are going to Cincinnati and win anyway. 881 00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:27,480 Speaker 1: I mean Bengals did not want to playoff games since 882 00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:30,279 Speaker 1: nineteen ninety that the Raiders been reallying off playoff wins 883 00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:34,600 Speaker 1: last decade. This is Derek Carr's first playoff game his career, right, yes, 884 00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:37,160 Speaker 1: and Burrows first? Yeah, I mean it's awesome, it is. 885 00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:39,840 Speaker 1: I think it's always about what play, guys. The Bengals 886 00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:42,719 Speaker 1: are playing so good right now. Their offense is rocking 887 00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:44,319 Speaker 1: and roll, so I don't think there's the Raiders don't 888 00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:49,240 Speaker 1: lose sight. There is breaking news left and right across 889 00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:53,319 Speaker 1: our league coaching vacancies. Naggie officially gone, Mike Zimmer done 890 00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:56,000 Speaker 1: with the Vikings, and the biggest surprise on the list, 891 00:39:56,320 --> 00:40:00,279 Speaker 1: Brian flour is done in miamis with all these moves 892 00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:04,040 Speaker 1: to GM's also are removed in the NFC north, Rick 893 00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:08,240 Speaker 1: Spielman and Ryan Pace for Chicago. What do you think, Shrikes? 894 00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:10,239 Speaker 1: I want to start with Miami. Stephen Ross is a 895 00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:14,520 Speaker 1: really successful businessman, an American business and yet the Miami 896 00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:17,759 Speaker 1: Dolphins have not had success since Stephen Ross took over. 897 00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:21,480 Speaker 1: And I'm talking real success. So here we are chapter ten. Now, 898 00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:24,680 Speaker 1: whether it be Badam Gase to Brian Flores. So now 899 00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:28,359 Speaker 1: who's next. I hope the Miami Dolphins get this next 900 00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:32,319 Speaker 1: one right. I honestly think Brian Flores is a really 901 00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:34,840 Speaker 1: good NFL football coach, but I think they've got to 902 00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:37,320 Speaker 1: get the next one right. And Stephen Ross great at business, 903 00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:40,879 Speaker 1: let's be great at football. When you're dating someone that's 904 00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:43,200 Speaker 1: like really great, sometimes you only break up with him 905 00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:45,920 Speaker 1: because you know there's somebody really incredible that's willing to 906 00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:48,319 Speaker 1: date you. So maybe there's something going on there. Because 907 00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:50,399 Speaker 1: they were at a good, happy relationship back to back, 908 00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:52,879 Speaker 1: like winning seasons, it was going well that there must 909 00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:55,040 Speaker 1: be something else out there. Yeah, the Fins have had 910 00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:57,440 Speaker 1: a rough go of it. I think when I look 911 00:40:57,440 --> 00:41:00,200 Speaker 1: at all these vacancies right now and everything is going on, 912 00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:03,080 Speaker 1: I look at the Minnesota Vikings and I think, give 913 00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:05,120 Speaker 1: me that talented team right there. I think, if I'm 914 00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:06,759 Speaker 1: a coach, I could come in and I can get 915 00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:09,359 Speaker 1: you to the playoffs that first year. Kirk Cousins. Look, 916 00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:12,480 Speaker 1: people are torn about him, but give me Dalvin Cook, 917 00:41:12,600 --> 00:41:14,840 Speaker 1: give me Justin Jefferson, give me Adam Field, give me 918 00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:17,080 Speaker 1: that offensive line. You can win football games and you 919 00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:19,759 Speaker 1: could score points with that offensiveloone. And I think if 920 00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:22,560 Speaker 1: you're any head coach right now, you want you want 921 00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:24,080 Speaker 1: to be first. You want first, bide at the Apple. 922 00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:25,120 Speaker 1: You want to get in there and say, look, I 923 00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:26,880 Speaker 1: don't care who the GM is, get me in the 924 00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:29,960 Speaker 1: door first. Peter made the connective tissue between Jim Harbaugh 925 00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:32,080 Speaker 1: and the Miami Dolphins. I would bet my life that 926 00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:34,640 Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh is not the next Bears coach. The only 927 00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:36,719 Speaker 1: reason people seem to bring that up is because he 928 00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:38,080 Speaker 1: played for the Bears. I don't know if you people 929 00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:40,399 Speaker 1: are misremembering what his relationship was. This is not Magic 930 00:41:40,520 --> 00:41:43,040 Speaker 1: Johnson coming back to coach the Lakers. His best football 931 00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:45,640 Speaker 1: was with the Colts. There is no love in Chicago 932 00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:48,160 Speaker 1: for Jim Harbaugh was a middling quarterback and fest he 933 00:41:48,239 --> 00:41:49,840 Speaker 1: may be a great coach, but I don't be in Chicago. 934 00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:54,680 Speaker 1: Well wait, jash my dream. We got to cover tomorrow morning. 935 00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:57,920 Speaker 1: Stay tuned for NFL. Now, have a good day. Oh 936 00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:01,440 Speaker 1: that's not a bad one day pick on the sidewalk
