1 00:00:04,364 --> 00:00:07,244 Speaker 1: Ten Takes is a production of the NFL in partnership 2 00:00:07,244 --> 00:00:19,484 Speaker 1: with iHeartRadio. 3 00:00:24,084 --> 00:00:27,484 Speaker 2: The Niners are obviously flawed. They've won six in a row. 4 00:00:27,884 --> 00:00:31,164 Speaker 2: Purty looks like an MVP quarterback. They're twelve and four. 5 00:00:31,204 --> 00:00:33,244 Speaker 2: They're one of the most interesting teams. We've been around 6 00:00:33,244 --> 00:00:34,804 Speaker 2: the block so many times with these Niners. 7 00:00:34,804 --> 00:00:36,604 Speaker 3: We know them so well. We've never seen them like this. 8 00:00:36,884 --> 00:00:39,084 Speaker 2: But just let me just take a step back and 9 00:00:39,164 --> 00:00:42,044 Speaker 2: put this what happened in proper context. If you start 10 00:00:42,044 --> 00:00:44,724 Speaker 2: the show saying yesterday was amazing, we got to understand 11 00:00:44,764 --> 00:00:48,564 Speaker 2: in rapid succession, we had three very similar plays, all 12 00:00:48,564 --> 00:00:52,524 Speaker 2: with huge ramifications. First, let's go to the early window games. 13 00:00:53,044 --> 00:00:56,164 Speaker 2: Steelers are on the field. Rogers with a fourth down 14 00:00:56,244 --> 00:00:59,524 Speaker 2: to Thry to get the no incomplete throws into the 15 00:00:59,604 --> 00:01:00,004 Speaker 2: end zone. 16 00:01:00,244 --> 00:01:01,124 Speaker 3: Can't make it happen. 17 00:01:01,164 --> 00:01:03,044 Speaker 2: That means the Steelers do not punch their ticket. They 18 00:01:03,084 --> 00:01:04,764 Speaker 2: have to go to next week. And then you go 19 00:01:04,804 --> 00:01:08,284 Speaker 2: to the late window. Josh Allen having to go for two. 20 00:01:08,324 --> 00:01:10,284 Speaker 2: He's got a wide open guy against Philly. 21 00:01:10,604 --> 00:01:12,684 Speaker 3: He misses, the Bills lose. 22 00:01:13,444 --> 00:01:16,404 Speaker 2: Then you go to the Sunday nighter, Caleb trying to 23 00:01:16,444 --> 00:01:18,204 Speaker 2: be a hero if he throws in the end zone. 24 00:01:18,244 --> 00:01:20,804 Speaker 2: The Bears are gonna win the game and a walk off, 25 00:01:20,844 --> 00:01:23,324 Speaker 2: don't even need the extra point. He throws in the 26 00:01:23,364 --> 00:01:26,364 Speaker 2: end zone and misses. These things were falling out of 27 00:01:26,404 --> 00:01:30,164 Speaker 2: the sky. Yesterday we had one ridiculous ending after another, 28 00:01:30,484 --> 00:01:35,964 Speaker 2: all with these crazy ramifications. Now everything matters, every outcome matters. 29 00:01:36,164 --> 00:01:36,524 Speaker 3: Listen. 30 00:01:36,844 --> 00:01:39,164 Speaker 2: I think if you're the Bears, if you're a Bears fan, 31 00:01:39,284 --> 00:01:42,204 Speaker 2: you say, like, I don't know that loss doesn't particularly sting. 32 00:01:42,244 --> 00:01:44,724 Speaker 2: We're one throwaway. But I think the Nighters were better. 33 00:01:44,764 --> 00:01:46,884 Speaker 2: I think brock Party was better. They couldn't stop them. 34 00:01:46,884 --> 00:01:49,084 Speaker 2: They had the ball at the end, they couldn't score. 35 00:01:49,324 --> 00:01:51,524 Speaker 2: Caleb always gives you a chance, but they're going to 36 00:01:51,564 --> 00:01:52,244 Speaker 2: the playoffs. 37 00:01:52,444 --> 00:01:54,444 Speaker 3: That could have had that one. They didn't. I just couldn't. 38 00:01:54,604 --> 00:01:57,524 Speaker 2: I'm still like on this like emotional hangover from yesterday. 39 00:01:57,524 --> 00:02:00,244 Speaker 2: I didn't leave the couches to look for like fourteen hours. 40 00:02:00,004 --> 00:02:00,964 Speaker 3: Of those days. 41 00:02:01,004 --> 00:02:06,604 Speaker 2: So so so good. I think Sam Donald is one 42 00:02:06,644 --> 00:02:09,164 Speaker 2: of two or three of the most pivotal players in 43 00:02:09,204 --> 00:02:11,364 Speaker 2: the league right now in the terms of we don't 44 00:02:11,404 --> 00:02:13,324 Speaker 2: really know which way it's going to go, but they 45 00:02:13,444 --> 00:02:14,604 Speaker 2: determine so much. 46 00:02:14,684 --> 00:02:15,964 Speaker 3: If they're great, we can. 47 00:02:15,884 --> 00:02:17,404 Speaker 2: Win the Super Bowl if they're not gonna be over 48 00:02:17,484 --> 00:02:19,564 Speaker 2: like that. I look at him, I look at CJ. 49 00:02:19,684 --> 00:02:22,124 Speaker 2: Stroud with that defense. If Stroud plays well, they could 50 00:02:22,164 --> 00:02:22,724 Speaker 2: go all the way. 51 00:02:23,004 --> 00:02:23,724 Speaker 3: Here's a fact. 52 00:02:24,124 --> 00:02:27,364 Speaker 2: There are a very small group of quarterbacks who have 53 00:02:27,484 --> 00:02:31,524 Speaker 2: had back to back thirteen win seasons, all right, Brett Favre, 54 00:02:31,884 --> 00:02:35,924 Speaker 2: Peyton Manning, Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady, and Sam Donald. That 55 00:02:36,004 --> 00:02:39,004 Speaker 2: is the entire list, thirteen in a row, back to back. 56 00:02:39,244 --> 00:02:41,604 Speaker 2: Sam Donald's sitting there with Brady and Farv and mate. 57 00:02:41,724 --> 00:02:42,844 Speaker 2: It's an incredible group. 58 00:02:43,364 --> 00:02:45,444 Speaker 3: But where are we with Sam Donald. I'll tell you 59 00:02:45,484 --> 00:02:45,964 Speaker 3: where we are. 60 00:02:46,924 --> 00:02:50,124 Speaker 2: So anybody who is fearful that last year Sam Donald 61 00:02:50,124 --> 00:02:52,004 Speaker 2: will show up again, let me just set the stage, 62 00:02:52,324 --> 00:02:53,524 Speaker 2: pay close attention to this. 63 00:02:53,564 --> 00:02:53,924 Speaker 3: All right. 64 00:02:54,764 --> 00:02:58,204 Speaker 2: Last year, he goes into Week eighteen with this incredible record. 65 00:02:58,284 --> 00:03:01,604 Speaker 2: Last game of the regular season against an divisional opponent Detroit, 66 00:03:01,844 --> 00:03:03,644 Speaker 2: they put up nine points, They lose. 67 00:03:03,684 --> 00:03:06,124 Speaker 3: Sam Donald not look good. They lose the wildcard round. 68 00:03:07,004 --> 00:03:10,724 Speaker 2: This year he goes into Week eighteen with this crazy 69 00:03:10,764 --> 00:03:15,164 Speaker 2: record against a divisional opponent at San Francisco next week 70 00:03:15,484 --> 00:03:18,244 Speaker 2: and then maybe to the wildcard round. I'm not worried 71 00:03:18,244 --> 00:03:22,004 Speaker 2: about Sam Donald against the Panthers. I just I'm not 72 00:03:22,004 --> 00:03:24,204 Speaker 2: worried about him. I look at that one and I 73 00:03:24,244 --> 00:03:26,444 Speaker 2: get worried because I remember that last year, and I 74 00:03:26,444 --> 00:03:29,084 Speaker 2: remember that in other years. Sam Donald at San Francisco, 75 00:03:29,124 --> 00:03:31,164 Speaker 2: who's won six in a row and just manages to win. 76 00:03:31,604 --> 00:03:33,804 Speaker 2: Do you trust him in that game? If he goes 77 00:03:33,844 --> 00:03:35,324 Speaker 2: in there and turns the ball over three times and 78 00:03:35,404 --> 00:03:37,404 Speaker 2: they lose, It's, oh my god, we just gave up 79 00:03:37,444 --> 00:03:39,164 Speaker 2: the one, and I feel like we're going to lose 80 00:03:39,204 --> 00:03:42,084 Speaker 2: the wild card round again. Sam Donald is mister pivotal 81 00:03:42,284 --> 00:03:44,804 Speaker 2: play well Seahawks go to the Super Bowl, chuck it 82 00:03:44,844 --> 00:03:47,364 Speaker 2: around a few times, one and done. I'm so interested 83 00:03:47,364 --> 00:03:49,684 Speaker 2: in him because I like him. I'm impressed by him, 84 00:03:49,684 --> 00:03:52,324 Speaker 2: But I think I speak collectively. There's not a great 85 00:03:52,364 --> 00:03:54,964 Speaker 2: amount of trust in him yet in the big spots, 86 00:03:54,964 --> 00:03:55,364 Speaker 2: because you. 87 00:03:55,284 --> 00:03:55,804 Speaker 3: Got to earn it. 88 00:03:57,084 --> 00:03:58,804 Speaker 2: A lot of things hurt the Steelers. You know who 89 00:03:58,804 --> 00:04:00,524 Speaker 2: won this game for the Browns. You know who lost 90 00:04:00,524 --> 00:04:03,644 Speaker 2: this game for the Steelers. That individual in the stands 91 00:04:03,684 --> 00:04:06,284 Speaker 2: in Detroit who got DK Metcalf to walk over to. 92 00:04:06,524 --> 00:04:09,004 Speaker 3: Are you kidding me? This is what you want to know? 93 00:04:09,004 --> 00:04:12,004 Speaker 2: Why the Steelers lost that game because of that, because 94 00:04:12,044 --> 00:04:14,564 Speaker 2: of that guy in the wig and DK Metcalf's decision 95 00:04:14,644 --> 00:04:18,364 Speaker 2: to do that. I saw Tony Romos after the game. 96 00:04:18,604 --> 00:04:20,564 Speaker 2: The Steelers might have won this game with DKA, and 97 00:04:20,644 --> 00:04:22,604 Speaker 2: they definitely would have won this game with DK. 98 00:04:23,004 --> 00:04:26,244 Speaker 3: They were a player shorts. They were a play short. 99 00:04:26,684 --> 00:04:28,164 Speaker 3: They needed DK bad. 100 00:04:28,244 --> 00:04:31,804 Speaker 2: When you have Rogers throwing to Mark wiz Veldez scantling 101 00:04:32,004 --> 00:04:35,204 Speaker 2: three straight times in the goal line sequence covered by 102 00:04:35,244 --> 00:04:38,404 Speaker 2: Denzel Ward two times of the three, not even on 103 00:04:38,484 --> 00:04:40,804 Speaker 2: the same page, had a no chancer, you. 104 00:04:40,844 --> 00:04:42,604 Speaker 3: Needed DK badly. 105 00:04:43,524 --> 00:04:47,644 Speaker 2: That person in the stands in Detroit really affected this thing. 106 00:04:48,044 --> 00:04:49,924 Speaker 2: That guy in the stands of Detroit is affecting the. 107 00:04:49,924 --> 00:04:51,604 Speaker 3: AFC North this year more than Joe Burrow. 108 00:04:51,964 --> 00:04:55,324 Speaker 2: It's like it is a massive, massive pivotal thing that happened. 109 00:04:55,684 --> 00:04:58,044 Speaker 2: And I just can't believe that end sequence. How badly 110 00:04:58,084 --> 00:05:00,644 Speaker 2: did they need a big, strong ride receiver that Rogers 111 00:05:00,684 --> 00:05:01,044 Speaker 2: is on the. 112 00:05:00,964 --> 00:05:01,564 Speaker 3: Same page with. 113 00:05:01,764 --> 00:05:04,604 Speaker 2: I understand he played with Mark weizveldiscan four years ago. 114 00:05:04,684 --> 00:05:07,844 Speaker 2: That pretend that's DeVante Adams out there, totally different situation. 115 00:05:08,404 --> 00:05:10,724 Speaker 2: I feel like, if DK is there, if DK decides 116 00:05:10,804 --> 00:05:13,164 Speaker 2: to just go over and say something to that fan 117 00:05:13,204 --> 00:05:14,764 Speaker 2: and not put his hands on him. I feel like 118 00:05:14,924 --> 00:05:17,724 Speaker 2: right now this morning, the Steelers either AFC nor Champs. 119 00:05:17,804 --> 00:05:19,964 Speaker 2: They're playing a home game now. They got to go 120 00:05:20,524 --> 00:05:23,884 Speaker 2: and play Baltimore again without DKA because of the guy 121 00:05:23,884 --> 00:05:28,484 Speaker 2: in Detroit. Just a massive, like season altering thing right there. 122 00:05:28,564 --> 00:05:30,964 Speaker 2: They win that game with dk you cannot change my 123 00:05:31,004 --> 00:05:33,484 Speaker 2: mind about it if that doesn't happen. They're already having 124 00:05:33,484 --> 00:05:36,364 Speaker 2: the T shirts this morning all because of that. Rodgers 125 00:05:36,404 --> 00:05:37,964 Speaker 2: are sitting there flailing at the end of the game, 126 00:05:38,004 --> 00:05:41,684 Speaker 2: throwing to anybody that's not Pat Fryer moved. Terrible loss, 127 00:05:42,124 --> 00:05:45,164 Speaker 2: ugly ending, and the ugliest reason of all is they 128 00:05:45,244 --> 00:05:47,524 Speaker 2: lost that game because their star receiver did that to 129 00:05:47,564 --> 00:05:48,484 Speaker 2: a fan in Detroit. 130 00:05:48,524 --> 00:05:49,164 Speaker 3: It's nuts. 131 00:05:50,684 --> 00:05:53,844 Speaker 2: Rock Purdy was stupidly good in this game. I can't 132 00:05:53,924 --> 00:05:56,324 Speaker 2: I can't explain you enough how little the Bears could 133 00:05:56,324 --> 00:05:58,724 Speaker 2: do to stop Rock Purty after the pick six first 134 00:05:58,724 --> 00:06:00,604 Speaker 2: throw of the game, crazy and then he could not 135 00:06:00,604 --> 00:06:00,964 Speaker 2: be stopped. 136 00:06:01,004 --> 00:06:02,324 Speaker 3: He had five touchdowns last night. 137 00:06:02,404 --> 00:06:04,164 Speaker 2: Brock Purty last week had five touchdowns. 138 00:06:04,164 --> 00:06:06,764 Speaker 3: He is playing so so well. 139 00:06:06,844 --> 00:06:08,964 Speaker 2: Right now, you think, all right, we get it, we've 140 00:06:09,004 --> 00:06:09,644 Speaker 2: done Rock Party. 141 00:06:09,724 --> 00:06:10,124 Speaker 3: Not like this. 142 00:06:10,604 --> 00:06:13,164 Speaker 2: He is scrambling as crazy. And I'm not even making 143 00:06:13,204 --> 00:06:17,324 Speaker 2: a joke, like the dancing is crazy. He's completely feeling himself. 144 00:06:17,844 --> 00:06:19,724 Speaker 2: Do you know how confident you have to be to 145 00:06:19,764 --> 00:06:23,324 Speaker 2: make plays like this? He's just he has this obvious, 146 00:06:23,484 --> 00:06:26,484 Speaker 2: palpable swagger to him that he has never had. He 147 00:06:26,604 --> 00:06:29,084 Speaker 2: used to be this bright eyed passenger on this team 148 00:06:29,124 --> 00:06:30,924 Speaker 2: that had the bosas and warners, and he'd be like, 149 00:06:31,004 --> 00:06:33,524 Speaker 2: I'm just here to do the job of quarterback. Now 150 00:06:33,564 --> 00:06:36,444 Speaker 2: he is like the star on the team and McCaffrey 151 00:06:36,484 --> 00:06:38,964 Speaker 2: is there, but it's party, Jamie. 152 00:06:39,004 --> 00:06:41,684 Speaker 3: You remember this a couple of years ago, when he. 153 00:06:41,724 --> 00:06:43,764 Speaker 2: Was this bright eyed, cool story and all we. 154 00:06:43,804 --> 00:06:45,564 Speaker 3: Ever talked about where he was drafted. 155 00:06:45,964 --> 00:06:49,124 Speaker 2: I had a theory that brock Party was artificial intelligence, 156 00:06:49,164 --> 00:06:50,964 Speaker 2: that he was actually not a human being. In fact, 157 00:06:51,124 --> 00:06:53,924 Speaker 2: it manifested a Halloween That was me a few halloweens ago. 158 00:06:54,004 --> 00:06:56,844 Speaker 2: Oh wow, Well, I really thought that Rock Party, well 159 00:06:56,884 --> 00:06:58,044 Speaker 2: before everyone. 160 00:06:57,724 --> 00:06:59,524 Speaker 3: Had shat Gypt, was a household thing. 161 00:06:59,804 --> 00:07:02,124 Speaker 2: I thought he was artificially created. He was not a 162 00:07:02,204 --> 00:07:05,364 Speaker 2: human being because he didn't bling, he didn't have any 163 00:07:05,484 --> 00:07:06,444 Speaker 2: human emotions. 164 00:07:06,524 --> 00:07:07,684 Speaker 3: He was just this machine. 165 00:07:08,004 --> 00:07:10,084 Speaker 2: And then last night, on the first pass, he throws 166 00:07:10,084 --> 00:07:11,404 Speaker 2: a pick six. You're like, oh, it's not going to 167 00:07:11,444 --> 00:07:11,884 Speaker 2: be his night. 168 00:07:12,164 --> 00:07:13,244 Speaker 3: No, he didn't even care. 169 00:07:13,484 --> 00:07:16,324 Speaker 2: Like a machine, he did not care, and he went 170 00:07:16,364 --> 00:07:18,324 Speaker 2: to throw five touchdowns. 171 00:07:17,844 --> 00:07:18,884 Speaker 3: Or throw and run for them. 172 00:07:19,124 --> 00:07:22,564 Speaker 2: It's ridiculously good if he plays like this. I don't 173 00:07:22,604 --> 00:07:25,724 Speaker 2: care that the defense isn't that good because they have him, 174 00:07:25,844 --> 00:07:27,844 Speaker 2: they have McCaffrey and whoever the hell they have a 175 00:07:27,884 --> 00:07:30,764 Speaker 2: wide receiver. They have not lost in like seven weeks. 176 00:07:30,924 --> 00:07:32,724 Speaker 2: They're going to be the one seed potentially in the 177 00:07:32,884 --> 00:07:34,804 Speaker 2: entire NFC with what. 178 00:07:34,724 --> 00:07:36,764 Speaker 3: They've been through. Rock Party, I can't say enough. We'll 179 00:07:36,844 --> 00:07:37,364 Speaker 3: keep talking. 180 00:07:37,564 --> 00:07:40,924 Speaker 2: Rock Party was insanely good last night, and I tipped 181 00:07:40,924 --> 00:07:44,884 Speaker 2: my hat to him. I thought this was a really 182 00:07:45,084 --> 00:07:47,804 Speaker 2: weird ending. And not only was the game weird and 183 00:07:47,884 --> 00:07:50,044 Speaker 2: just the score weird and everything about it. What was 184 00:07:50,084 --> 00:07:53,524 Speaker 2: weird about it was that Josh Allen missed the throw. 185 00:07:54,124 --> 00:07:57,484 Speaker 2: We never say that when we've seen the Bills lose 186 00:07:57,524 --> 00:07:59,924 Speaker 2: all these games, whether it be in the playoffs or 187 00:08:00,004 --> 00:08:04,804 Speaker 2: dramatically down the stretch. Anytime the Bills lose, Josh Allen 188 00:08:04,844 --> 00:08:07,284 Speaker 2: is either sitting on the bench with his mouth shut, 189 00:08:07,604 --> 00:08:10,244 Speaker 2: or he's walking off the field after someone dropped something, 190 00:08:10,364 --> 00:08:13,684 Speaker 2: or he just put his head down. Here's the situation here. 191 00:08:14,484 --> 00:08:17,604 Speaker 2: They were right to go for two. So Sean McDermott 192 00:08:17,604 --> 00:08:20,724 Speaker 2: made the right call. Joe Brady made the right play call. 193 00:08:21,084 --> 00:08:23,884 Speaker 2: It was wide open and Josh Allen is sitting there 194 00:08:24,884 --> 00:08:29,804 Speaker 2: with his most trusted receiver, Khalil Shakir, breaking open just 195 00:08:29,844 --> 00:08:31,804 Speaker 2: as they drew it up, and he just missed the throat. 196 00:08:32,044 --> 00:08:34,884 Speaker 2: And that's fine. He's entitled to miss one sometimes, but 197 00:08:35,524 --> 00:08:38,124 Speaker 2: it's never this way with the Bills. And I think 198 00:08:38,404 --> 00:08:41,604 Speaker 2: if you saw afterwards, Josh is doing stuff he never does, 199 00:08:42,164 --> 00:08:45,284 Speaker 2: slamming his helmets, screaming f bombs. He's never that way. 200 00:08:45,324 --> 00:08:47,404 Speaker 2: When things loose, he just shuts his mouth and sits down. 201 00:08:47,644 --> 00:08:49,844 Speaker 2: He knew that he had and he blew it, and 202 00:08:49,884 --> 00:08:53,324 Speaker 2: we've almost never seen that again. They should have gone 203 00:08:53,404 --> 00:08:55,924 Speaker 2: for two because they had all these extra point problems 204 00:08:55,924 --> 00:08:57,644 Speaker 2: and a backup kicker, and they got the last one 205 00:08:57,724 --> 00:08:59,924 Speaker 2: and the defense in the Eagles was totally gassed. I 206 00:08:59,964 --> 00:09:02,844 Speaker 2: love the call, the right call. McDermott made the right call, 207 00:09:03,004 --> 00:09:06,164 Speaker 2: play call, perfect, MVP quarterback missed the throat. It was 208 00:09:06,244 --> 00:09:09,404 Speaker 2: really strange. I'm sure he's furious about it. He's entitled 209 00:09:09,404 --> 00:09:11,684 Speaker 2: to miss one every now and then, and he missed one. 210 00:09:11,684 --> 00:09:15,604 Speaker 2: Then lastly, Philadelphia Eagles. They are such a weird team. 211 00:09:16,444 --> 00:09:19,244 Speaker 2: You can't find a team raining super Bowl champs that 212 00:09:19,284 --> 00:09:21,924 Speaker 2: are already the NFC East champs eleven and five, three 213 00:09:22,004 --> 00:09:23,964 Speaker 2: in a row. And every Eagles fan I know is 214 00:09:24,084 --> 00:09:27,004 Speaker 2: miserable and furious, and they don't even want to talk 215 00:09:27,044 --> 00:09:29,004 Speaker 2: about the team. They don't even want to talk to 216 00:09:29,044 --> 00:09:31,484 Speaker 2: each other. They don't even want to talk ball. And 217 00:09:31,524 --> 00:09:33,524 Speaker 2: you're like, you're super Bowl champs, you're in the seat, 218 00:09:33,604 --> 00:09:34,844 Speaker 2: cham what do you do you want? 219 00:09:34,884 --> 00:09:37,004 Speaker 3: You beat the Bills, you beat Josh Allen in Buffalo. 220 00:09:37,324 --> 00:09:40,884 Speaker 2: Miserable and I kind of get it. The offense is 221 00:09:41,004 --> 00:09:44,964 Speaker 2: so weird and the defense was great yesterday. The offense 222 00:09:45,364 --> 00:09:47,844 Speaker 2: tried so hard to lose that game for the Eagles. 223 00:09:47,884 --> 00:09:49,684 Speaker 2: And that's why every Eagles fans I know is like, 224 00:09:49,804 --> 00:09:51,124 Speaker 2: don't even talk, I don't care. 225 00:09:51,244 --> 00:09:53,284 Speaker 3: And this team, this team's gonna kill me. This team 226 00:09:53,364 --> 00:09:55,404 Speaker 3: might go to the super Bowl again. When you're talking. 227 00:09:55,124 --> 00:09:59,804 Speaker 2: About amazing fan base, very weird team. Willie and I 228 00:09:59,844 --> 00:10:01,884 Speaker 2: were talking ball during commercial break because that's just what 229 00:10:01,924 --> 00:10:03,964 Speaker 2: we do here, and we're saying, like, who do we 230 00:10:04,444 --> 00:10:06,964 Speaker 2: us more? Who we're more afraid of in the playoffs, 231 00:10:07,004 --> 00:10:10,324 Speaker 2: going to Houston or going to Jacksonville. Willie was saying 232 00:10:10,324 --> 00:10:14,604 Speaker 2: more Jacksonville. I'm saying more Houston. Either way, these two teams, 233 00:10:14,604 --> 00:10:18,124 Speaker 2: Houston and Jacksonville in the same division. Houston's gonna enter 234 00:10:18,164 --> 00:10:21,284 Speaker 2: the playoffs, likely on a nine game win streak. Jacksonville 235 00:10:21,364 --> 00:10:23,044 Speaker 2: is going to enter the playoffs likely on an eight 236 00:10:23,124 --> 00:10:23,884 Speaker 2: game win streak. 237 00:10:23,924 --> 00:10:25,404 Speaker 3: And I've said this about c J. Stroud. 238 00:10:25,484 --> 00:10:27,644 Speaker 2: I'll say it again. There's going to become a moment 239 00:10:27,724 --> 00:10:30,324 Speaker 2: in the playoffs. We know the defense is great. The 240 00:10:30,324 --> 00:10:32,004 Speaker 2: defense is going to be there, the secondary, the pass 241 00:10:32,164 --> 00:10:34,244 Speaker 2: is great. There's going to become a big moment in 242 00:10:34,244 --> 00:10:36,564 Speaker 2: the playoffs where it is all about c J. Stroud 243 00:10:36,564 --> 00:10:38,404 Speaker 2: And it is going to be maybe in the division run, 244 00:10:38,444 --> 00:10:38,964 Speaker 2: maybe in the title. 245 00:10:39,164 --> 00:10:41,284 Speaker 3: I don't know where. It's gonna be like third. 246 00:10:41,044 --> 00:10:44,004 Speaker 2: And eleven and they're down five, or fourth and eleven 247 00:10:44,364 --> 00:10:46,764 Speaker 2: and he needs to absolutely buzz one over. 248 00:10:46,644 --> 00:10:48,524 Speaker 3: The middle for a score or to move the chains. 249 00:10:48,804 --> 00:10:49,084 Speaker 3: C J. 250 00:10:49,164 --> 00:10:51,204 Speaker 2: Stroud is going to determine so many things because the 251 00:10:51,244 --> 00:10:54,964 Speaker 2: defense is so good that if Stroud can play well, 252 00:10:55,564 --> 00:10:57,524 Speaker 2: they can win the Super Bowl this year. They can 253 00:10:57,564 --> 00:10:59,204 Speaker 2: win the Super Bowl. They have a Super Bowl defense. 254 00:10:59,884 --> 00:11:01,804 Speaker 2: They already have a playoff winning quarterback, guy Cee de 255 00:11:01,804 --> 00:11:03,604 Speaker 2: Stroud has already won two playoff games. And I feel 256 00:11:03,604 --> 00:11:05,804 Speaker 2: like he's about twenty years old. It is not the 257 00:11:05,924 --> 00:11:08,284 Speaker 2: situation where he's he's got to get that off his 258 00:11:08,404 --> 00:11:10,204 Speaker 2: back or he's got to get No. He's done it 259 00:11:10,284 --> 00:11:12,244 Speaker 2: last year, he did it the year before. He is 260 00:11:12,364 --> 00:11:14,524 Speaker 2: very accustomed to being in playoff games. He's played four 261 00:11:14,524 --> 00:11:17,484 Speaker 2: of them already. So I just am waiting for that. 262 00:11:17,564 --> 00:11:19,004 Speaker 2: We're going to know when we see it. 263 00:11:19,004 --> 00:11:21,284 Speaker 3: It's going to be a third and twelve, third and. 264 00:11:21,244 --> 00:11:23,804 Speaker 2: Eleven something for where it's like, all right, CJ. Stroud, 265 00:11:23,844 --> 00:11:26,924 Speaker 2: the defense cannot help you now make the play. And 266 00:11:27,044 --> 00:11:29,924 Speaker 2: yet I love Houston so much. It's an open debate. 267 00:11:30,204 --> 00:11:31,964 Speaker 2: Who do you want to play less right now in 268 00:11:32,004 --> 00:11:37,164 Speaker 2: the playoffs, Houston or Jacksonville. This game ball is going 269 00:11:37,204 --> 00:11:39,684 Speaker 2: to someone who we have come to just take for granted, 270 00:11:39,924 --> 00:11:42,524 Speaker 2: and we shouldn't do that. We should stop and recognize 271 00:11:42,604 --> 00:11:45,524 Speaker 2: Christian McCaffrey and how historically. 272 00:11:45,004 --> 00:11:45,884 Speaker 3: Excellent he is. 273 00:11:46,324 --> 00:11:49,164 Speaker 2: In a game against the Bears, he just casually has 274 00:11:49,204 --> 00:11:51,684 Speaker 2: one hundred and eighty one total yards and a touchdown, 275 00:11:51,724 --> 00:11:54,844 Speaker 2: and he barely makes the highlight because we're spoiled by him, 276 00:11:54,884 --> 00:11:57,564 Speaker 2: because we just expect that from him. Here's what I 277 00:11:57,644 --> 00:12:00,004 Speaker 2: expect in the next game that the Niners play. 278 00:12:00,284 --> 00:12:02,884 Speaker 3: The first time he touches the ball, it will be the. 279 00:12:02,604 --> 00:12:06,564 Speaker 2: Four hundredth time he has touched this year, four hundred 280 00:12:06,684 --> 00:12:11,164 Speaker 2: between carrying, catching. It's an unbelievable thing that he keeps 281 00:12:11,204 --> 00:12:14,004 Speaker 2: getting better and better this season. In my opinion, he's 282 00:12:14,004 --> 00:12:16,684 Speaker 2: already been a great player. He's already been an All Pro. 283 00:12:17,204 --> 00:12:20,284 Speaker 2: This is the season Christian McCaffrey became a legend because 284 00:12:20,324 --> 00:12:22,884 Speaker 2: when all of the players around him were getting hurt, 285 00:12:23,044 --> 00:12:25,884 Speaker 2: they just fed him and fed him, and he carried 286 00:12:25,924 --> 00:12:30,244 Speaker 2: this team through backup quarterbacks, backup receivers, backup tight ends. 287 00:12:30,324 --> 00:12:31,284 Speaker 3: He is a stalwart. 288 00:12:31,324 --> 00:12:33,644 Speaker 2: He is mister dependable, and he is someone that we 289 00:12:33,684 --> 00:12:35,524 Speaker 2: should not take for granted. 290 00:12:35,164 --> 00:12:35,964 Speaker 3: What he is doing. 291 00:12:36,084 --> 00:12:39,204 Speaker 2: It is not normal, it is historic, it is special. 292 00:12:39,444 --> 00:12:41,444 Speaker 2: He's always been a great player. This year he became 293 00:12:41,484 --> 00:12:44,124 Speaker 2: a legend. Christian McCaffrey loved you.
