Cameron Wolf joining us bearing the conditions in Nashville, Tennessee. 19 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:23,520 Speaker 1: This morning, Happy Christmas week to you, Happy season finale 20 00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:25,600 Speaker 1: of TNF. We're so happy to have you on the show, 21 00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:28,479 Speaker 1: Cameron Wolf. Back in Week ten, the Niners took down 22 00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:31,959 Speaker 1: their division rivals, the Rams. How did that win? Sort 23 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:38,000 Speaker 1: of plus you sort of flip the script on each season. Okay, 24 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,959 Speaker 1: Marry Christmas to you, Marry Christmas everyone at home. Remember 25 00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:43,200 Speaker 1: the forty nine Ers were one of those teams we 26 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:45,440 Speaker 1: thought we're gonna have to write off. They had lost 27 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,600 Speaker 1: five of their last six games going into that Rams game, 28 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,000 Speaker 1: they were three and five. We were wondering, Hey, is 29 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,520 Speaker 1: this forty nine Ers team, you know, dead? But Kyle 30 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,360 Speaker 1: Shanahan stood in front of that team that Saturday before 31 00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 1: the game and said, we're going back to what we do. 32 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 1: We're gonna run the ball forty times. And guys in 33 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,760 Speaker 1: the room their eyes lit up forty times. In this era, 34 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 1: they ran the ball forty four times, beat the Rams badly, 35 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:13,120 Speaker 1: and really sold home that physical mentality that they've been 36 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,240 Speaker 1: for a lot of their tenure here. And Kyle Euschek 37 00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:18,840 Speaker 1: told me it reminded them of that twenty nineteen team 38 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,280 Speaker 1: they had when they made that Super Bowl run and 39 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:23,880 Speaker 1: they got back to what they did best at physicality. 40 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,320 Speaker 1: So as we've seen them win five of their last 41 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,600 Speaker 1: six games, they've got to a team that loves to 42 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 1: run the ball. Smash Mouth football is a hybrid style, 43 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:35,640 Speaker 1: but on defense they are also playing bullyball. So that's 44 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:40,200 Speaker 1: the key for the forty nine ers turnaround. Smash mouth bullyball. 45 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,960 Speaker 1: Love it. Cameron bringing all the terms that are getting 46 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 1: us excited for Thursday night football. Here, Cameron, we know 47 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan regarded as an offensive vuru once he done 48 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 1: in this season to further that reputation, mikey Gee, it 49 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,519 Speaker 1: starts with Deebo Samuel look at a guy like him. 50 00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:00,359 Speaker 1: He got his first Pro Bowl nomination well deserved last night. 51 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,240 Speaker 1: He's a guy who's become their number one receiver. But 52 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 1: what's really made him special is his evolution as a 53 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:09,520 Speaker 1: running back. And I dug into his evolution this week. 54 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 1: I found out he spends no time in the running 55 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,240 Speaker 1: back room. It's all in the receiver room. He just 56 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 1: gets tips from his running back coach, Bobby Turner, but 57 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,480 Speaker 1: most of it's natural and it makes sense. Will a 58 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:21,920 Speaker 1: guy named Debo named after one of the characters in 59 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:25,359 Speaker 1: one of my favorite movies Friday that you see him 60 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 1: being physical hybrid player. You guys showed it on Angry 61 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:32,000 Speaker 1: Runs this week, but that run where he knocked the 62 00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,679 Speaker 1: defender's mouthpiece in the air and it falls out. That's 63 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 1: who Debo is and really his evolution as a receiver 64 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 1: and a runner has made the forty nine ers offense 65 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 1: more difficult to defend. I talked to Titan safety Kevin 66 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 1: Bayer this week. He compared his running style to Alvin Camara. 67 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 1: Think about that, a receiver being cammared compared to one 68 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 1: of the best running backs in the league. I think 69 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 1: the forty nine Ers have one of the most diverse 70 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:57,240 Speaker 1: sets of skill sets with George Kittle, Deebo Samuel, and 71 00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 1: I'm eager to see how they do against that Titans 72 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 1: defense night. He's one of those Christmas gifts that's just 73 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,600 Speaker 1: multi use, like one of those pans that it can boil, 74 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 1: it can fry, it can saute, can do it everyone, 75 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 1: it cleans itself. That's Stebo Samuel. I would not be 76 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:14,120 Speaker 1: surprised if he's on Angry Runs next week, if Schreger 77 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,360 Speaker 1: features him on Cool Plays brow, if he is a 78 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,279 Speaker 1: receiving touchdown, a rushing touchdown. He will be all over 79 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 1: the field and really exciting to watch in a really 80 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 1: good factor, and I love that he gave him some love. 81 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 1: Cameron Wilf joining us from tennis See. We'll talk to 82 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 1: you in a little bit. Big playoff implications for this one, 83 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:30,640 Speaker 1: so let's check it out here. Taking a look at 84 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,679 Speaker 1: the picture before Week sixteen kicks off. We've got five 85 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 1: teams at the top here of the NFC with ten 86 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:39,039 Speaker 1: plus wins, and in the sixth seed the surging forty 87 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 1: Niners looking pretty good of late, pretty good as an understatement. 88 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 1: They've won five of their last six that we're in 89 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:48,599 Speaker 1: the final stretch right now, Peter, do you think I 90 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:50,719 Speaker 1: know you don't think they're a dark horse because you 91 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,279 Speaker 1: talked about them ahead of the season and they are 92 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 1: on fire right now. What do you think of the Niners? 93 00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:00,480 Speaker 1: I think they are a very good team. I think 94 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,039 Speaker 1: they are perfectly placed as the five seat in the 95 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:05,599 Speaker 1: NFC right now, and they might win tonight on the 96 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:09,839 Speaker 1: road going into Tennessee with both teams looking to solidify 97 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:12,600 Speaker 1: their playoffs satus, I don't know if they're going to 98 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:14,680 Speaker 1: be able to compete with these other big dogs though 99 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:16,920 Speaker 1: in the NFC, if their past defense does not get better, 100 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,280 Speaker 1: their past rush is great. We know Bosa and Armstead 101 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 1: are coming, and those guys are great. But I watch 102 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,839 Speaker 1: a lot of Niners football. They have a giant Achilles 103 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:26,800 Speaker 1: heal on this team, and it's its past defense. It's 104 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:30,160 Speaker 1: its cornerback position. Josh Norman's on one side, and right 105 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:34,560 Speaker 1: now it's this hodgepodge of Ambry Thomas, the rookie out 106 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 1: of Michigan, and it's Deante Johnson if he's healthy and 107 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,520 Speaker 1: he's good to go, and they're getting torched week after week. 108 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,479 Speaker 1: Jamar Chase put a show on a couple of weeks 109 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:47,039 Speaker 1: ago in a loss, but was just absolutely destroying Number 110 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:50,680 Speaker 1: twenty Thomas. Now, look, it's one position. It's cornerback. Can 111 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:52,560 Speaker 1: you shave that. Can you find a way to get 112 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,600 Speaker 1: safety help, which Jakoski Tart and Jimmy Warder have been 113 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,359 Speaker 1: playing well. Yes, but it is such an eyesore that 114 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 1: I look at this team. I gotta think that Tannehill 115 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:05,520 Speaker 1: is gonna try to exploit it tonight. This this cornerback 116 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:08,520 Speaker 1: situation gives me, gives me hesitant as well, because you're 117 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:11,279 Speaker 1: eventually going to have to go up against Aaron Rodgers, 118 00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:15,159 Speaker 1: Tom Brady, Kyler, Murray Dak Prescott and all those wide 119 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,359 Speaker 1: receivers that are stars for them. I hate picking on 120 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,520 Speaker 1: a rookie player number twenty, Abrey Thomas. If you are 121 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:24,880 Speaker 1: watching step up tonight, show us that there is no 122 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,359 Speaker 1: Achilles heal, and then I can take this Nineers defense 123 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:30,559 Speaker 1: seriously for the long haul because at some point teams 124 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,119 Speaker 1: are gonna start picking on them exclusively at that spot 125 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,360 Speaker 1: and they're gonna have quarterbacks capable of doing it. So 126 00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 1: are they a dark horse? They're better than a dark horse? 127 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,360 Speaker 1: Are they a true contender? They need to shore up 128 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:46,920 Speaker 1: that defensive backfield before we really consider them in that conversation. Yeah, sure, 129 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:49,599 Speaker 1: example with you. And look, I'm gonna ask for a 130 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:51,919 Speaker 1: request right now from our producers that they could play 131 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 1: some Katy Perry dark horse over this next big role. 132 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,719 Speaker 1: I'd really appreciate it, because all everybody wants to know 133 00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,440 Speaker 1: is do you really want to play with magic? Are 134 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 1: you ready for a perfect storm? A perfect storm? And 135 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,480 Speaker 1: that's what you're getting with this forty nine ers offense 136 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 1: right now, the perfect storm of Deebo Samuel Kyle use Check, 137 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:15,240 Speaker 1: George Kittle, Trent Williams, everybody working with synergy and violently 138 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:19,520 Speaker 1: look this offense. It would have been music to my 139 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 1: ears to hear Kyle Shannon come in and say we're 140 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 1: going to run the ball forty times. People talk about 141 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 1: forty burgers with points. No, give me forty carries. Let 142 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 1: us inflict punishment and guess what this Isn't just you know, 143 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:31,400 Speaker 1: three yards and a cloud of dust. This is an 144 00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,280 Speaker 1: army Navy running the ball forty to forty five times. 145 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:37,640 Speaker 1: These are explosively. These are Deebo Samuel line up as 146 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 1: running back in the backfield jet sweeps. In the last 147 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:44,200 Speaker 1: six weeks, the forty nineers had the third most explosive runs. 148 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:48,320 Speaker 1: That's runs over fifteen yards. And it's amazing how they're 149 00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,840 Speaker 1: able to do this with all the different formations, different personnel. 150 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:56,000 Speaker 1: You've got use Check and Kittle line up in the backfield, 151 00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,680 Speaker 1: Debo lineup as a tight end, and then somehow, some 152 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:02,600 Speaker 1: way magically they shift and all of a sudden, demos 153 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 1: getting the football and you don't even know who has 154 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:07,600 Speaker 1: the ball. So I love how physical this offense has been. 155 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 1: I think that translates and listen in the road. When 156 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:12,680 Speaker 1: you go on the road, there are two things that 157 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 1: are portable, a good run defense and a good run game. 158 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,680 Speaker 1: And I think that's exactly what the four Diners have 159 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:20,720 Speaker 1: to hang their hat on right now. I don't even 160 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:22,880 Speaker 1: talk about Nick Bosa in the season he's having, but 161 00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,560 Speaker 1: this offense right now, Yeah, if you're calling them a 162 00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:29,520 Speaker 1: dark horse, it's it's as a good thing. Like Katy Perry, 163 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:32,440 Speaker 1: I think dark horse is a good way to describe them, 164 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:36,559 Speaker 1: because this five out of six game streak that they 165 00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 1: are on right now, it really began. It started with 166 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:43,080 Speaker 1: that win against the Rams on Monday night, which everybody said, 167 00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:46,040 Speaker 1: all right, that's nice, that's cool, but almost was kind 168 00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:49,559 Speaker 1: of treated as not flukey. But well, they can't really 169 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:51,920 Speaker 1: dig themselves out of this hole that they created early 170 00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:56,240 Speaker 1: because it's about the big nationally televised games and that 171 00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:58,839 Speaker 1: Indianapolis game that drop them the two and four, that 172 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:02,160 Speaker 1: ugly raining night. I think that's stuck with a lot 173 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,840 Speaker 1: of people. And these games they won lately have been 174 00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:09,079 Speaker 1: one o'clock games. They played the Jaguars Minnesota, which was 175 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:13,120 Speaker 1: five hundred team at the time, Seattle, which was not 176 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:16,079 Speaker 1: doing well, and they lost that game. Cincinnati was a 177 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,040 Speaker 1: one o'clock game Atlanta. They were supposed to take care 178 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,880 Speaker 1: of business. They did, like they need that big primetime 179 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:23,760 Speaker 1: game where they make a statement. Well that's where Tonight enters. 180 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:25,920 Speaker 1: So if they come out to Night and they play 181 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:28,200 Speaker 1: the way that they're supposed to play, and they play 182 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:30,600 Speaker 1: their brand of football and they win this game with 183 00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,800 Speaker 1: everybody across the nation watching, to now make it six 184 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,160 Speaker 1: out of seven, then I think the dark horse label 185 00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:38,439 Speaker 1: goes away and you talk about them as a legitimate 186 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:43,079 Speaker 1: contender in the postseason. Kay, yeah, let's show it. Let's 187 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:44,840 Speaker 1: show these I know we keep saying, we keep reading 188 00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:46,559 Speaker 1: and keep seeing the tweets. Five out of the last six. 189 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:48,839 Speaker 1: To me, it is impressive. I was like, Okay, can 190 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:50,760 Speaker 1: they win six or seven? But let's take a look 191 00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:52,680 Speaker 1: at who they be because I see three playoff teams. 192 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:55,680 Speaker 1: I don't honestly care what time they played or what 193 00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,600 Speaker 1: the window was, three playoff teams in this stretch. They 194 00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 1: won five out of six, and they beat up at 195 00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:03,720 Speaker 1: Land last week in a game that had huge implications 196 00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:06,360 Speaker 1: for playoff positioning. They knew what was up for grabs 197 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:07,880 Speaker 1: and they went and got it. They're playing at such 198 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:11,479 Speaker 1: a high level right now. All I hear from Shreeger 199 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,800 Speaker 1: former players, super Bowl champions, Hall of Famers is playing 200 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:16,880 Speaker 1: out right now. Who's heating up? You can't tell me 201 00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,760 Speaker 1: they're not firing on all cylinders with Bosa, Kittle and 202 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:21,560 Speaker 1: Debo playing the way they are. And I would not 203 00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:23,160 Speaker 1: if I was any team in the NFC on to 204 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:26,559 Speaker 1: face this squad in the playoffs. They're unique, they're multifaceted. 205 00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:28,360 Speaker 1: Their run game, you never know what you're gonna get, 206 00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 1: So it's hard to prepare for this team if you're 207 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,079 Speaker 1: a defense. So I think they're hot and you need 208 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:36,840 Speaker 1: to be watching them against those Titans tonight right here 209 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,840 Speaker 1: on NFL Network. Let's get Mike Garafolo in here. Let's 210 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:43,400 Speaker 1: do the whole split box thing there. It is, Hey, 211 00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:47,439 Speaker 1: COVID nineteen, huge issue in the NFL and beyond in 212 00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:49,880 Speaker 1: the world right now. It is surging. So what is 213 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:53,480 Speaker 1: the latest as far as our lens is concerned. Yeah, 214 00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:56,719 Speaker 1: we've got head coaches affected right now. Okay, Nick Sirianni 215 00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 1: the latest, along with Robert Sala for the Jets, but 216 00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:04,160 Speaker 1: Syriana will be coaching remotely for the Eagles this week 217 00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:06,600 Speaker 1: and on Sunday, if he is not cleared, it will 218 00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:10,200 Speaker 1: be Kevin Petulo serving as the acting head coach. Petulo 219 00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:13,040 Speaker 1: is the pass game coordinator. He's sort of involved in 220 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:16,640 Speaker 1: some of the situational stuff anyway. So Sirianni saying, well, 221 00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:20,080 Speaker 1: that disrupts everybody else the least to allow Petulo to 222 00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:23,080 Speaker 1: do that, because Shane stike In, the offensive coordinator, will 223 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:26,080 Speaker 1: call plays. Sirianni saying well, stike In and I kind 224 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,720 Speaker 1: of call plays together on Sunday. Stike In the one 225 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:32,760 Speaker 1: that relays it into the headset. So that'll remain intact 226 00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:36,720 Speaker 1: if Sirianni is not cleared by Sunday. Robert Sala, the 227 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:40,560 Speaker 1: Jets head coach, he was feeling symptomatic, so he tested 228 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:44,280 Speaker 1: and he tested positive. So Ron Middleton now in line 229 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,240 Speaker 1: to serve as the acting head coach. Middleton running practice 230 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 1: yesterday's Sala just like Sirianni, gonna try to do as 231 00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:54,360 Speaker 1: much as he can remotely. But as a head coach, 232 00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:56,080 Speaker 1: you're not there in the room with the guys. You're 233 00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:57,880 Speaker 1: not there to talk to him on Sunday. So Middleton 234 00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:00,600 Speaker 1: gets an opportunity to show what he can do. And 235 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:02,800 Speaker 1: speaking of a guy who was not with his team 236 00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:05,360 Speaker 1: this past weekend, but we'll be going forward. That is 237 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:08,360 Speaker 1: Kevin Stefanski. He has been cleared to return as the 238 00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:11,480 Speaker 1: head coach of the Cleveland Browns, so the Browns relieved 239 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:16,840 Speaker 1: to have him back. And it'll be Baker Mayfield, a quarterback. 240 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:20,559 Speaker 1: If if Mayfield can get cleared, the Browns hopeful that 241 00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:22,480 Speaker 1: that will be the case. We shall see. We'll keep 242 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:27,680 Speaker 1: you posted on that one case. Browns Packers coverage begins 243 00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 1: at two pm Eastern on NFL Network. I earlier said 244 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:34,760 Speaker 1: Colts Patriots. That's me muscle, memoring the promo from last doubleheader. No, 245 00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:37,920 Speaker 1: it's the Colts and the Cardinals out in the desert 246 00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:40,480 Speaker 1: with Peter Schrager on the sidelines. Christmas Day unwrapped this 247 00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:44,480 Speaker 1: beautiful gift from the NFL. Big Playoff Implications. Action kicks 248 00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:47,280 Speaker 1: off at three thirty Eastern, Browns in Lambau taking on 249 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers and the Red Hot Packers.

Could he secure an MVP? Jonathan Taylor 253 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:05,120 Speaker 1: is the right lights of Primetime Action, Christmas Day, Christmas Night, 254 00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:14,319 Speaker 1: NFL Network and the NFL app. Right now it is 255 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:17,400 Speaker 1: signed for a refresh, presented to you by subway of 256 00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:19,720 Speaker 1: very own Jeffrey Chidiaz. Every day you need to know 257 00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,080 Speaker 1: ahead of the matchup between the Steelers and the Chiefs, 258 00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:26,440 Speaker 1: a big one in the AFC on Sunday. Thanks Kay, 259 00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:28,640 Speaker 1: And this week's game between the Steelers and the Chiefs 260 00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:31,960 Speaker 1: has a ton of AFC playoff implications for the Chiefs. 261 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,800 Speaker 1: It's a chance to clinch a playoff spot and potentially 262 00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:37,840 Speaker 1: the AFC West title if the Chargers lose. For the 263 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,920 Speaker 1: Steelers at seven six and one, they are playing for 264 00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:43,240 Speaker 1: their playoff lives, trying to find a way to stay 265 00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:44,920 Speaker 1: in the hunt. And this game is going to be 266 00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:48,199 Speaker 1: interesting because of COVID nineteen. The Chiefs have a number 267 00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,959 Speaker 1: of players on the list thirteen right now. They hope 268 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:52,960 Speaker 1: to have some of those guys back, but two big 269 00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:56,280 Speaker 1: names here, Travis Kelsey and Tyree Hill tested positive this week. 270 00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:59,800 Speaker 1: If they aren't there, that offense could struggle. And after 271 00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:02,360 Speaker 1: the Steelers, they know what offensive struggles have been like 272 00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:04,240 Speaker 1: all season long because they haven't been able to get 273 00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:07,760 Speaker 1: their offense into a rhythm that often, and so you're 274 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,280 Speaker 1: talking about a defensive matchup pair where t. J. Watt, 275 00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:12,640 Speaker 1: Mica Fitzpatrick, the guys on that side of the football 276 00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,000 Speaker 1: may have to make some plays to make this game interesting. 277 00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 1: But regardless, we know that this game means a lot 278 00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:19,360 Speaker 1: to both teams and it will say a lot about 279 00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:23,400 Speaker 1: what happens in January. And now it's get back to Ukaw, 280 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:27,320 Speaker 1: all right, mister Shadiyah, love you, Merry Christmas to you. 281 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:29,280 Speaker 1: Let's take a look at the APC playoff fixture. Yeah, 282 00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:31,440 Speaker 1: big stakes, as he's saying, the Bengals the only team 283 00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:32,880 Speaker 1: with a spot in the postseason right now in the 284 00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:35,080 Speaker 1: fourth seed, the Ravens and the Steelers right on the 285 00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:37,200 Speaker 1: bubble at eight and nine. The Browns do have some 286 00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:40,680 Speaker 1: work to do. They play the Packers at Lambeau on 287 00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:44,200 Speaker 1: Christmas Day. They're sitting in that twelve spot. The division 288 00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:46,680 Speaker 1: is the tightest in the league right now, Bengals in 289 00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:48,880 Speaker 1: first at eight and six, right behind them the Ravens 290 00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:51,400 Speaker 1: and the AFC North also eight and six, the Steelers 291 00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:53,360 Speaker 1: holding the third place spot at seven and six and one. 292 00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:57,920 Speaker 1: And finally, after losing to the Raiders on Monday, the 293 00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:00,960 Speaker 1: Browns are last. It's minute seven. I think I said 294 00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:02,960 Speaker 1: that game was played on a Tuesday. No, it was 295 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:06,120 Speaker 1: a Monday in Cleveland. So it really is anybody's division, gentlemen, 296 00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:09,120 Speaker 1: that all's going to come down to that week eighteen game. 297 00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:11,480 Speaker 1: They're not quite comfortable getting a Week eighteen is a 298 00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:14,120 Speaker 1: thing in the NFL shrikes Which ap scene North team 299 00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:19,040 Speaker 1: do you think is most intriguing? Three games to go? Yeah, Look, 300 00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:22,120 Speaker 1: you talk to a Ravens fan right now and they 301 00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:25,440 Speaker 1: are lamenting the loss against the Packers, and they're saying, well, 302 00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:27,680 Speaker 1: we should have gone we shouldn't have gone to overtime, 303 00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:30,240 Speaker 1: or we shouldn't have gone for two against the Steelers. Well, 304 00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:32,440 Speaker 1: that's all said and done. That's in the rear view mirror. 305 00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:35,640 Speaker 1: You can't change those outcomes. You still got three games left. 306 00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:38,920 Speaker 1: And the Ravens are fascinating me because Lamar didn't practice 307 00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:41,400 Speaker 1: on Wednesday. Practice Wednesday, and there's hope that he can 308 00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:44,520 Speaker 1: return from this brone bone bruise, but it might be 309 00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:48,120 Speaker 1: mister Huntley snoop again, and if it is, they're gonna 310 00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:49,720 Speaker 1: have to go against the Bengals and they must win 311 00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:54,520 Speaker 1: with their backup quarterback who actually looked outstanding on Sunday, Lamar, 312 00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:57,320 Speaker 1: it goes beyond just these next three games. Can you 313 00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:59,440 Speaker 1: get on the field, we hope? What do you do 314 00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:02,360 Speaker 1: with Lamar this offseason? At one point where like give 315 00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:05,800 Speaker 1: him forty million dollars, Well, Lamar hasn't had this season 316 00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:08,400 Speaker 1: everyone expected. He's been injured, he's been out with COVID, 317 00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:12,160 Speaker 1: he's been out with another illness, and gosh, they look 318 00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:14,480 Speaker 1: like they could play okay with Huntley without him. So 319 00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:16,680 Speaker 1: I want to see Lamar on the field the next 320 00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:19,040 Speaker 1: three weeks. I want to see him find a way 321 00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:21,360 Speaker 1: to carry this team and maybe get them the victories 322 00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:23,320 Speaker 1: and then get him to the playoffs. But I think 323 00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:25,440 Speaker 1: for the first time since Lamar has gotten there, there's 324 00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:28,720 Speaker 1: questions about Lamar, And there might be some questions about Hardball. 325 00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:30,800 Speaker 1: He's not going anywhere. He's he's one of the main 326 00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:32,720 Speaker 1: men in the league. But for the first time that 327 00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:35,240 Speaker 1: I can remember since Hardball took over and oh seven, 328 00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:37,880 Speaker 1: the fan base is questioning some of the decision making 329 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:40,040 Speaker 1: and did me give away the season by not just 330 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,160 Speaker 1: going to overtime or trying to fight to go to 331 00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:46,280 Speaker 1: overtime last week? Literally, I think this man is the 332 00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:48,800 Speaker 1: most beloved coach by the local fan base and then 333 00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:52,840 Speaker 1: any coach in the entire NFL. And the more that 334 00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:56,520 Speaker 1: we see online, the more that you see amongst Raven's 335 00:16:56,560 --> 00:17:00,040 Speaker 1: message boards, there are questions about the decision making and 336 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:03,320 Speaker 1: whether or not this season has been handled the way 337 00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:05,520 Speaker 1: that it should have been down the stretch. Of course, 338 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:08,159 Speaker 1: hindsight's twenty twenty. They went for it at the end 339 00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:10,239 Speaker 1: of the game twice. They're ow for two. That's going 340 00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:12,520 Speaker 1: to happen sometimes it will. If they're two for two, 341 00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:16,800 Speaker 1: would be saying his coach of the year shregs all 342 00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:19,560 Speaker 1: great points right there, and coach of the year absolutely 343 00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:22,080 Speaker 1: Dealing with everything that Baltimore has had to deal with 344 00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:26,080 Speaker 1: this season, the injuries alone would have brought a lot 345 00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:28,760 Speaker 1: of coaches to their knees. I think for Baltimore, the 346 00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:31,160 Speaker 1: fact that they're sitting here right now with this opportunity, 347 00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:34,560 Speaker 1: given all of that that's happened, is phenomenal. Now, if 348 00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:36,679 Speaker 1: they're their divisional record at one in three right now, 349 00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:39,680 Speaker 1: might come back to haunt them down the road, as 350 00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:42,719 Speaker 1: you were explaining. But I look at this division and 351 00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:45,040 Speaker 1: I feel like Joe Burrow from the Bengals has just 352 00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:47,200 Speaker 1: kind of put his stamp on this division. The last 353 00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:49,920 Speaker 1: time we saw these two teams play each other, they 354 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:53,000 Speaker 1: dominated the game. Joe Burrow had a career night, four 355 00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:56,240 Speaker 1: or fifteen yards, passing three touchdowns. There's one of them 356 00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:59,600 Speaker 1: to Evans right there, but it was to Jamar Chase 357 00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,520 Speaker 1: that had the big game that had us all talking 358 00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:05,200 Speaker 1: about the Bengals just run away with this division. Look, 359 00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:07,160 Speaker 1: they've stubbed their toe a couple of times here and there, 360 00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:12,200 Speaker 1: but offensively, their explosive plays is what has made them 361 00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:15,840 Speaker 1: my favorite in this division right now. And then when 362 00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:17,800 Speaker 1: you look at the defense, what they're doing. I just 363 00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,640 Speaker 1: talked about the Denver Broncos game. They won that game 364 00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:23,280 Speaker 1: fifteen to ten. The last time that they played the 365 00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:27,720 Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens, this defense stifled Lamar Jackson. Nobody could seem 366 00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:30,359 Speaker 1: to shut him down, and yet they sacked him five times. 367 00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:33,840 Speaker 1: They contained him, they frustrated him. And I think when 368 00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:35,200 Speaker 1: you look at the way that they're getting after the 369 00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:39,160 Speaker 1: quarterback right now, this Bengals team right now is dominating 370 00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:43,760 Speaker 1: games up front. Trey Hendrickson, he's got thirteen sacks right now, 371 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:48,040 Speaker 1: He's one half sack away from breaking the Bengals franchise 372 00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:50,600 Speaker 1: record for sacks in the season quietly one of the 373 00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:55,520 Speaker 1: best statistical seasons by defensive lineman in Bengals history. And 374 00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:58,560 Speaker 1: then Larry Ogunjabi inside those two have been a really 375 00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:01,919 Speaker 1: nice one two punch. So when you have guys like 376 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,000 Speaker 1: that the Downlass Church right now, you need to win 377 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,160 Speaker 1: a couple of games get in the playoffs. I really 378 00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:09,240 Speaker 1: like what they're doing. Trey Hendrickson also leading the NFL 379 00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:12,080 Speaker 1: right now in quarterback pressures, So even when he doesn't 380 00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:15,080 Speaker 1: get credit for the sack, like Gee, he's hitting the quarterback, 381 00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:19,280 Speaker 1: affecting the throw, affecting the plays. I'm staying there with 382 00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:20,919 Speaker 1: the Bengals, and I'm gonna put a button on that 383 00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:23,159 Speaker 1: defensive point that you're talking about. You ever see defensive 384 00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:26,359 Speaker 1: coordinator Lou at Umo during the game, they get shots 385 00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:29,160 Speaker 1: at it. Guys fired up right, and that defense has 386 00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:31,680 Speaker 1: taken on his personality. You look at the numbers, Yeah 387 00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:34,080 Speaker 1: they're fourth and run defense, But some of the other 388 00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:36,919 Speaker 1: numbers you go, Okay, not great, They don't tell the 389 00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:39,440 Speaker 1: whole story. I've been watching this Bengals team closely oh year. 390 00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:41,919 Speaker 1: That defense has been put in tough positions asked to 391 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,040 Speaker 1: come through late in the game a lot of times 392 00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:46,360 Speaker 1: short fields, and they have done that. So yeah, I'm 393 00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:49,159 Speaker 1: gonna really impressed with their defense. But back to that offense. 394 00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:51,439 Speaker 1: Joe Mixon named to the Pro Bowl last night, the 395 00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:54,159 Speaker 1: first Bengals running back to be named to the Pro 396 00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:57,320 Speaker 1: Bowl since Rudy Johnson in two thousand and four. Did 397 00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:00,000 Speaker 1: you know that, I guarantee of Peter Schrager knew that. 398 00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:03,480 Speaker 1: But I'm looking at this offense. So you talked about it. 399 00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:07,000 Speaker 1: They've stubbed their toe a little bit since that Baltimore game. 400 00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:10,240 Speaker 1: I don't know, you know when we're gonna see that 401 00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:13,040 Speaker 1: offense again, but it's there. I look at this Bengals team, 402 00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:15,000 Speaker 1: I look at that offense and I say, I remember 403 00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:17,520 Speaker 1: Joe Burrow thrown for four hundred yards in Jamaar Chase, 404 00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:22,200 Speaker 1: absolutely dominating a really good secondary. That team. You're still 405 00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:24,480 Speaker 1: in there. I know you're in there. But if this 406 00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:26,719 Speaker 1: team's really gonna have to be a team that you're 407 00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:28,880 Speaker 1: gonna reckon with in the postseason, we need to see 408 00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:31,159 Speaker 1: that offense again. So that's why when I see that 409 00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,879 Speaker 1: word intriguing, this is the team that pops up to 410 00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:36,959 Speaker 1: me because Cincinnati has been winning games and staying afloat 411 00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:38,840 Speaker 1: and stay in the top of the division despite the 412 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:41,520 Speaker 1: fact that offensively they haven't hit that stride. Let's see 413 00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:44,800 Speaker 1: if they can do it down the stretch here. You 414 00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:47,439 Speaker 1: both know I feel about the Bengals, so I'll mention 415 00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:49,880 Speaker 1: the Steelers, who actually think are really intriguing. Their seven 416 00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:52,199 Speaker 1: and six and one just on the outside. And we 417 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:55,200 Speaker 1: saw this defense come alive last week. You know, obviously TJ. 418 00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:58,320 Speaker 1: Waston doing this thing week in week out this season, 419 00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:00,960 Speaker 1: but what they did against the type was intriguing to me. 420 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:02,760 Speaker 1: Here's what they have down the stretch. They have the Chiefs, 421 00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:04,720 Speaker 1: which of course job Shadia talk to us about big 422 00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:06,879 Speaker 1: game there. Then they have the Browns and the Ravens, 423 00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:08,639 Speaker 1: and I'm not convinced they're going to get any of 424 00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:11,399 Speaker 1: those teams best punch. You have the the Chiefs they 425 00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:14,239 Speaker 1: might face without Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelsey. You know 426 00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:17,439 Speaker 1: how banged up the Brown squad is. The Ravens are 427 00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:20,480 Speaker 1: banged up too, so to me, war of attrition style, 428 00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:22,960 Speaker 1: the AFC North could be theirs. Keep your eyes on 429 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:26,040 Speaker 1: those Steelers up against those Chiefs in Week sixteen. Okay, 430 00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:28,639 Speaker 1: Morgan Morning Football. That was your refresh, brought to you 431 00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:31,440 Speaker 1: by Subway.

We got Tannehill 437 00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:05,600 Speaker 1: being pulled out. He'll be the quarterback under one of 438 00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:09,159 Speaker 1: these squads tonight in this Titans party Niners game. Tannehill 439 00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:12,040 Speaker 1: is the twenty nineteen Comeback Player of the Year for 440 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:15,680 Speaker 1: his career resurgence with the Titans. But Nick Bosa right 441 00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:19,439 Speaker 1: now has fifteen sacks coming off a devastating a knee injury, 442 00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:22,439 Speaker 1: and he is the favorite for Comeback Player of the 443 00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:25,640 Speaker 1: Year this year.

The 445 00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:31,960 Speaker 1: history of the award is rich, and we start with 446 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:35,560 Speaker 1: Sean O'Hara. Sean, are you ready for the first question. 447 00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:41,520 Speaker 1: I'm Comeback Player of the Year themed Mixed back Trivia. Yes, Rags, 448 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:43,560 Speaker 1: I'm running a rocket roll can I just say, I 449 00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:46,440 Speaker 1: love the segment. I love the award. It's also the 450 00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:50,399 Speaker 1: one award that no player ever wants to win because 451 00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:51,919 Speaker 1: I don't ever want to have to have the injury. 452 00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:56,359 Speaker 1: I hear you, And let's get right to it, because 453 00:22:56,359 --> 00:23:00,359 Speaker 1: someone has won it twice. Here is the question, Sean 454 00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:04,840 Speaker 1: and your choices. Let's bring up the clues. Which NFL 455 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:09,600 Speaker 1: player has one comeback Player of the Year for two 456 00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:17,000 Speaker 1: different franchises. Is it Thomas Davis, Chad Pennington, Alex Smith, 457 00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:25,200 Speaker 1: or Napoleon McCallum. Wow, Paoliam McCallum. Just hearing that name 458 00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:27,520 Speaker 1: makes me cringe. That injury that he suffered when he 459 00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:34,119 Speaker 1: was playing for the Raiders was remarkable. Alex Smith. Of course, 460 00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:36,560 Speaker 1: we know about all his injuries. You know what I 461 00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:41,320 Speaker 1: feel like, I want to go with a Thomas Davis. 462 00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:44,720 Speaker 1: I feel like he's had three ACL injuries came back 463 00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:46,280 Speaker 1: from them all. I think he might be the only 464 00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:48,639 Speaker 1: player in the history of the NFL to have done that. 465 00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:52,920 Speaker 1: So I'll go with a Thomas Davis. It's a good guest, 466 00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:54,920 Speaker 1: and we love Thomas Davis, and he did play for 467 00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:59,440 Speaker 1: multiple franchises, But the winner's Chad Pennington. Chad Pennington is 468 00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:02,600 Speaker 1: one I'm back Player of the Year two different times. 469 00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:06,040 Speaker 1: He first did it in two thousand and six when 470 00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:09,280 Speaker 1: he returned from two different rotator cuff surgeries and led 471 00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:11,720 Speaker 1: the Jets to a ten win season, and then two 472 00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:16,400 Speaker 1: years later, after being traded during the or being released 473 00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:18,240 Speaker 1: after the Jets won, got Brett far If he goes 474 00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:20,440 Speaker 1: to the to the Dolphins, it takes a one in 475 00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:24,000 Speaker 1: fifteen team from the year before and leads them to 476 00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:27,200 Speaker 1: the AFC East title. It's the year that Matt Castle 477 00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:30,280 Speaker 1: was in and Brett Farve was the quarterback for the Jets. 478 00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:33,600 Speaker 1: The Dolphins actually won the division that year. The Wildcat team, 479 00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:37,399 Speaker 1: Shad Pennington was the quarterback. He won Comeback Player of 480 00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:40,879 Speaker 1: the Year two out of three NFL seasons, one of 481 00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:46,760 Speaker 1: the truly remarkable feats in NFL history. I see a Chad. 482 00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:51,359 Speaker 1: I think Tony Sperrano was coaching for that Wildcat season, 483 00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:55,960 Speaker 1: wasn't he was? Uny Sprauno, Mike, you ready for yours? 484 00:24:57,480 --> 00:24:59,399 Speaker 1: I am ready? And I hope that the question is 485 00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:01,880 Speaker 1: who is the least worthy comeback player of the Year, 486 00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:04,119 Speaker 1: because I know the answer. It was Philip Rivers in 487 00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:06,680 Speaker 1: twenty fourteen, not because he didn't play well, but because 488 00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:08,320 Speaker 1: I'm still not sure when he came back from But 489 00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:12,040 Speaker 1: go ahead, Peter, Yeah, no, I mean, I hear you. 490 00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:13,760 Speaker 1: He took a team to the playoffs after two years 491 00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:15,800 Speaker 1: of not comeback Player of the Year.

I'm trying to remember the 497 00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:39,680 Speaker 1: order of Doug's career here, and I'm probably gonna get 498 00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:42,720 Speaker 1: this wrong.

Jalen Rams is 646 00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:21,279 Speaker 1: one of the best corners, not the best corner of 647 00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:24,839 Speaker 1: the National Football League. And then offensively, if they stay clean, 648 00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:27,279 Speaker 1: I mean, if they protect the football, don't turn it over. 649 00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:31,520 Speaker 1: Balance offensively with Sony Michelle, Devin Henderson, those guys going 650 00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:35,120 Speaker 1: over one hundred yards collectively, and then Matthew Stafford being 651 00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:36,839 Speaker 1: solid and sound with the ball. He was twenty one 652 00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:40,880 Speaker 1: twenty nine I think against the Seahawks and two touchdowns. 653 00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:43,840 Speaker 1: He did have their interception, but I think he is 654 00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:47,480 Speaker 1: playing down the last three weeks. He's played really good football, 655 00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:50,520 Speaker 1: particularly not turning it over. And then everybody's talking about 656 00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:52,440 Speaker 1: Cooper cup in the job that he's doing. Yes, he 657 00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:54,480 Speaker 1: should be up with the NBP talk. Yes he's to 658 00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:57,800 Speaker 1: be up with the NBP offensive player talk as well. 659 00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:01,480 Speaker 1: He's just mister consistent ode Beckham is finding his way. 660 00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:04,160 Speaker 1: Dan Jefferson, you see Beans Kronik now getting involved in 661 00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:06,080 Speaker 1: the game. That got Tyler Igby. So I think this 662 00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:08,920 Speaker 1: football team is set up if they stay healthy. They 663 00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:10,600 Speaker 1: got to clean up some things in interior and the 664 00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:12,520 Speaker 1: officers a line and Sean you know how critical that 665 00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:15,040 Speaker 1: he is. They got to clean that up, the interior 666 00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:17,680 Speaker 1: officers a line. But they got enough talent, enough skill. 667 00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:21,640 Speaker 1: They they're healthy, have everybody back. They should play plenty 668 00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:23,279 Speaker 1: of what they should play very well the rest of 669 00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:26,160 Speaker 1: the regular season as they give themselves up for the playoffs. 670 00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:30,080 Speaker 1: All right, Tory, you mentioned Cooper Cup. Obviously, you're one 671 00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:33,000 Speaker 1: of the greatest receivers in Rams franchise history. Tyreek Hill 672 00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:36,359 Speaker 1: is one hundred and two catches. Cooper Cup has twenty more, 673 00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:38,560 Speaker 1: and he's the leader, like twenty more than the number 674 00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:40,959 Speaker 1: two guy. Yeah, this is one of the greatest wide 675 00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:43,440 Speaker 1: receiver seasons ever. You said he should be in consideration, 676 00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:45,960 Speaker 1: But we don't give this award to non quarterbacks anymore. 677 00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:48,120 Speaker 1: We just give it to the best quarterback. Make the 678 00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:51,120 Speaker 1: case is Cooper Cup worthy of the MVP, and make 679 00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:54,480 Speaker 1: the case why this is the year he's the guy yeah, no, 680 00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:56,200 Speaker 1: I think so. I mean, look at what he's doing. 681 00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:58,520 Speaker 1: I mean from the beginning of the season to now, 682 00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:01,080 Speaker 1: and even with Matthew Staff who was having his moments 683 00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:04,000 Speaker 1: where he wasn't playing as well, Cooper Cup was still constant. 684 00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:07,280 Speaker 1: He was still consistent. He was still stating. Look one thousand, 685 00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:10,160 Speaker 1: six hundred twenty five yards, one hundred and twenty two receptions, 686 00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:14,680 Speaker 1: fourteen touchdowns, twenty four catches of twenty plus yards, eight 687 00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:17,200 Speaker 1: catches of forty plus yards. No one thinks of Cooper 688 00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:19,280 Speaker 1: Cup in a deep threat guy. He has eight catches 689 00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:22,759 Speaker 1: for forty plus yards, seventy five first down and six 690 00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:26,120 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty seven yards after the catch, and teams 691 00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:28,600 Speaker 1: know that he's going to get the ball. I think 692 00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:31,200 Speaker 1: Sean McVay does a really good job of moving him around. 693 00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:34,800 Speaker 1: His football IQ was incredible, you know I did. I 694 00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:37,200 Speaker 1: went back and looked at draft Nasty dot Com right 695 00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:39,040 Speaker 1: up on him. Shouts out to my man, Corey Chase, 696 00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:41,879 Speaker 1: and this is what they said about Cooper Cup. He 697 00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:46,160 Speaker 1: is six two, two hundred ten pounds. He's athletic, outstanding 698 00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:50,320 Speaker 1: body control, quickness, carries his pads really well, vision, his 699 00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:53,920 Speaker 1: hand eye coordination is at all time high. He was 700 00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:56,440 Speaker 1: extremely productive when he was in college. Guys, he was 701 00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:58,839 Speaker 1: extremely productive when he was in college, A four time 702 00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:02,200 Speaker 1: All American. That's just carried over to the National Football League. 703 00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:05,080 Speaker 1: He runs through the football, he has great hands. He's 704 00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:07,600 Speaker 1: on my All Hands team, by the way, because of 705 00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:09,680 Speaker 1: his ability to catch the football. And then a lot 706 00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:12,279 Speaker 1: of people don't know this. He plays with an attitude. 707 00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:15,239 Speaker 1: So Cooper Cup certainly should be in the MVP race, 708 00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:17,360 Speaker 1: should be in the talk. If not for the MVP, 709 00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:19,480 Speaker 1: which I think again, he should be up for the 710 00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:22,640 Speaker 1: offensive MVP as well. He has been in mister consistent. 711 00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:24,759 Speaker 1: Love the way he goes about the game. I had 712 00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:26,200 Speaker 1: a chance to sit down with him a couple of 713 00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:28,399 Speaker 1: weeks ago and learned a lot about him. He has 714 00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:31,400 Speaker 1: he looked he sees the game through a quarterbacks LANs 715 00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:36,640 Speaker 1: like his ability to to comprehend information that's provided to 716 00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:38,600 Speaker 1: him and then to go out on the football field 717 00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:41,440 Speaker 1: and to carry it out. Cooper Cup does that every 718 00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:43,919 Speaker 1: single week. He's doing it at the highest level better 719 00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:48,200 Speaker 1: than anybody in the game right now. Torry Holt with 720 00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:51,359 Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame worthy research, When are you coming 721 00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:53,160 Speaker 1: to be a guest host?

So I wanted to show 730 00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:25,640 Speaker 1: you what Odell Beckham Junior was rocking. I think this 731 00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:27,880 Speaker 1: was ahead of a Week ten matchup.

Now? 736 00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:42,160 Speaker 1: You know when I saw this, I was out at 737 00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:44,399 Speaker 1: dinner and my kids was like, Dad, you see this 738 00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:46,919 Speaker 1: Odell Beckham was rocking the greatest show turk T shirt. 739 00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:48,880 Speaker 1: I was like, what, let me see it? No, I 740 00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:51,040 Speaker 1: thought it was I thought it was dope, man. You know. 741 00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:53,120 Speaker 1: I mentioned I was out in LA a couple of 742 00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:55,200 Speaker 1: weeks ago talking to Cooper Cup spending some time with him. 743 00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:57,040 Speaker 1: I also had a chance to speak to Odell Beckham 744 00:38:57,040 --> 00:38:58,799 Speaker 1: man and the first thing he said to me was like, look, 745 00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:02,080 Speaker 1: I'm so excited to be here. I'm around like minded people, 746 00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:04,719 Speaker 1: like minded guys that are all about working, getting it 747 00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:07,080 Speaker 1: done and playing at a high level. So no, I 748 00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:10,960 Speaker 1: think Odell Beckham is again. He's continued to acclimate himself 749 00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:13,200 Speaker 1: in this offense, and we're a little off against Seattle 750 00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:15,560 Speaker 1: a couple of times. He and Matthew Staff you only 751 00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:17,959 Speaker 1: have one catch in that game. But Odell Beckham plays 752 00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:20,120 Speaker 1: the exposition. He's very solid. He still gets off the 753 00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:22,319 Speaker 1: football well, he still runs well, and he can run 754 00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:25,200 Speaker 1: every route and win on every route. So I still 755 00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:27,520 Speaker 1: think a lot of good football is ahead for Odell 756 00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:31,759 Speaker 1: Beckham Junior. I called him Odell and Sean McVay I 757 00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:34,759 Speaker 1: think has enough offense and will do enough to make 758 00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:37,280 Speaker 1: sure that he stays involved and put him in favorable 759 00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:39,680 Speaker 1: situations to help this football team as they go down 760 00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:43,720 Speaker 1: to stretch. Tory may look like I'm not paying attention, 761 00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:46,319 Speaker 1: but what I'm doing is texting the producers telling them 762 00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:49,640 Speaker 1: to get you on the program. In that former Nate 763 00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:52,000 Speaker 1: Burlison see Tory thank you very much, Happy Hall, let's 764 00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:54,480 Speaker 1: get you. That's right, Sean
