Yep, the Double Headed Chiefs 15 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:07,000 Speaker 1: versus Broncos. Arm James Palmer has the latest on Kansas 16 00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:10,840 Speaker 1: City as they get set for the playoffs. Well thanks, kay. 17 00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:13,199 Speaker 1: As the Kansas City Chiefs head into their final regular 18 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:16,160 Speaker 1: season game against the Broncos and the postseason. Two things 19 00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:18,560 Speaker 1: to keep your eye on. One, They lost both of 20 00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:21,720 Speaker 1: their starting tackles against the Bengals last Sunday, Lucas Niang 21 00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,199 Speaker 1: their right tackle done for the season, their left tackle 22 00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:27,080 Speaker 1: Orlando Brown to a calf strain. And we remember in 23 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:30,320 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl last year Patrick Mahomes running for his life. 24 00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:32,840 Speaker 1: That was not the case in this game. They still 25 00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:36,759 Speaker 1: protected him brilliantly. He wasn't sacked, and Orlando Brown's calf 26 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:38,720 Speaker 1: strain looks to be heading in the right direction. Could 27 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,120 Speaker 1: possibly play against the Broncos and should be good for 28 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:44,800 Speaker 1: the postseason. That's the positive. The negative the defense went 29 00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:46,759 Speaker 1: back to what we saw through the first five games, 30 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 1: So they gave up at least twenty nine points a game. 31 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,360 Speaker 1: Gave up thirty four to the Cincinnati Bengals. They missed assignments, 32 00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:54,720 Speaker 1: they missed tackles and averaging over two and a half 33 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,880 Speaker 1: turnovers a game, k they had zero. Can they right 34 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,120 Speaker 1: the ship defensively and get back to what we so 35 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,440 Speaker 1: all for this eight game stretch. We'll find out because 36 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,320 Speaker 1: it's something they need heading into the postseason. Can't win 37 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:08,040 Speaker 1: if they get Jamar chased again. And yes, the offensive 38 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,400 Speaker 1: linement from being a big question mark to a strength 39 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:12,639 Speaker 1: on that Kansas City team. Thanks so much, James. The 40 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 1: season finale starts Saturday, Jeeves broncos kase he wants to 41 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:18,080 Speaker 1: grab the one seed and they can in the AFC. 42 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 1: If they win and the Titans lose or tie, it 43 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 1: is theirs. And then we've got a huge NFC East 44 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 1: nightcap between the Cowboys and the Eagles. Dallas has locked 45 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 1: up the division. Both teams have already punched their ticket 46 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,960 Speaker 1: to the postseason, So gentlemen, let's keep it to that 47 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:37,679 Speaker 1: second game of the Saturday doubleheader. The season finale to 48 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,680 Speaker 1: twenty twenty one, twenty twenty two. There is a chance 49 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:42,680 Speaker 1: that they could face each other in the playoffs these 50 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 1: two teams, which is more dangerous as a wild card 51 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:48,360 Speaker 1: opponent though, the Cowboys, Chris or the Eagles. I have 52 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,239 Speaker 1: to go with the Boys, and for a couple of 53 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,400 Speaker 1: reasons and the number one in the wild card round. 54 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 1: We know that these teams are marginal as far as 55 00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,280 Speaker 1: with their seasons. Man, but if you can happen to 56 00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,919 Speaker 1: be the team that won the division, you're gonna get 57 00:02:59,919 --> 00:03:02,800 Speaker 1: a home game, so that gives them a definite edge. 58 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:06,680 Speaker 1: And I'll just go to the quarterback position. I believe 59 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:10,520 Speaker 1: that Dak Prescott in a battle against these elite quarterbacks 60 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 1: that we have in the NFL season, that he is 61 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,400 Speaker 1: a better match. Like would I be surprised if he 62 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 1: throws for three hundred yards? No, No, I wouldn't. Now 63 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,200 Speaker 1: on the other side with Philadelphia, yes, they can run 64 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:22,800 Speaker 1: for a lot of yards, but I would be shot 65 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 1: if they're able to throw for two fifty two seventy five, 66 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,799 Speaker 1: three hundred or if they get into a shootout. Which 67 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:31,919 Speaker 1: team would I rather have? And that's where I give 68 00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,880 Speaker 1: the Boys the edge. Even though the last six weeks 69 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,920 Speaker 1: they haven't played their best football, I believe they collectively 70 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,920 Speaker 1: they have more talent and what they can do from 71 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:44,040 Speaker 1: a defensive standpoint as far as putting pressure on the quarterback. 72 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,360 Speaker 1: They got a couple of guys that can wreck your 73 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 1: game on that defensive side of the ball, No doubt, Chris. 74 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:52,080 Speaker 1: And there's a lot to like about the Cowboys. I 75 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 1: don't trust the Cowboys, and I feel like, in a 76 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 1: weird way, I trust Philadelphia more. Both these teams are 77 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 1: secret about them is they haven't beating anybody like the people. 78 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 1: The Eagles are here in it this week that they're 79 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 1: the NFC Dolphins, that they haven't beaten anybody, and we 80 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 1: saw what happened to the Dolphins when they finally played 81 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 1: the Titans. Dallas isn't either. They beat a Saints team 82 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 1: that was really banged up in ravage and had no camera. 83 00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:13,560 Speaker 1: But other than that, every team they played that matters, 84 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,120 Speaker 1: be at the Cardinals, Raiders, Chiefs, they lose too. If 85 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,360 Speaker 1: someone would not have watched football for the last five 86 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:20,840 Speaker 1: years and said, tell me about this Cowboys team, what 87 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:22,839 Speaker 1: are they like? They think they're a running team, but 88 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:25,320 Speaker 1: they also pass and sometimes their defense plays really well 89 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 1: with sometimes it does nothing. I don't really they have 90 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:29,840 Speaker 1: a lot of famous players. What's this Eagles team like? Oh, 91 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 1: they're great. They run the hell out of it. They 92 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:33,839 Speaker 1: got this great athlete a quarterback. Their defense isn't that great, 93 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:35,640 Speaker 1: but it doesn't really have to because they run so much. 94 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:37,480 Speaker 1: It's a weird thing. Like they know who they are. 95 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 1: They've won six of seven games. The Cowboys are fancier, 96 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,080 Speaker 1: and the Cowbos were famous and way more explosive and 97 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 1: probably more talented. But I trust the Eagles more because 98 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 1: Dallas I just don't really know what they are and 99 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,080 Speaker 1: I don't think they do either. I think it's Philadelphia. 100 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:50,839 Speaker 1: Actually yeah. And now look, if the Eagles are down 101 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:52,920 Speaker 1: twenty one to nothing in the first half, it's done. 102 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,039 Speaker 1: I don't see Jalen Hurts saying, hey, I got ya, 103 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,680 Speaker 1: let me throw out of this thing. But styles make fights, Chris, 104 00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,839 Speaker 1: he said yesterday, and I'm wearing the mat shirt today. 105 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,840 Speaker 1: Is there a team that personifies John Madden more than 106 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 1: the twenty twenty one Philadelphia three and six at one 107 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 1: point and they say, let's totally change who we are, 108 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 1: let's have an identity, and it's let's just shove the 109 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:14,760 Speaker 1: ball down your throat. I look at the way they 110 00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:16,280 Speaker 1: run the ball, and I say, I don't want to 111 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:18,359 Speaker 1: see that in January. That hurts. I don't want to 112 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,800 Speaker 1: see Lane Johnson lining up against me. I don't want 113 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,320 Speaker 1: to see Kelsey and they just pile on once they 114 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 1: get started. One hundred and seventy five rushing yards in 115 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,320 Speaker 1: eight straight games. Are you serious? And then we had 116 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,000 Speaker 1: the great Scott Paolion yesterday and he's talking about the 117 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:34,919 Speaker 1: offensive line and mentioned the name stout Land. I gotta 118 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,240 Speaker 1: give coach, I gotta get shot out to Jeff Stoutland 119 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,800 Speaker 1: the offensive line coach for what he has done with 120 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,480 Speaker 1: this unit, which I think early in the season they 121 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:44,480 Speaker 1: weren't considered one of the best units in the league. 122 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 1: Jeff Stotland has mentored Jordan Myelatta into being one of 123 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 1: the best tackles in the league. He has worked with 124 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:51,480 Speaker 1: all these young players. He's gotten the most out of 125 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,560 Speaker 1: Kelsey and Lane Johnson. And if there's a team that 126 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:59,000 Speaker 1: has a Madden identity heading into January and February football, 127 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,320 Speaker 1: it's the fild if it Eagles. I'm not calling the 128 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:04,240 Speaker 1: Cowboys software any means. Any team that has Michael Parsons 129 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:06,880 Speaker 1: and Lawrence and Gregory, they're not soft by any means, 130 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:08,760 Speaker 1: and they've got a great offensive line too. But the 131 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:12,560 Speaker 1: Eagles seem like they have embodied the city but also 132 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:16,320 Speaker 1: embodied the defensive line, and they've got the experience of 133 00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:18,680 Speaker 1: doing it already. So I'm going to say, Philadel, the 134 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,080 Speaker 1: only problem with that is when you're one dimensional. When 135 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,720 Speaker 1: I take away your punch, what are you going to do? 136 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,560 Speaker 1: You're gonna rely on that quarterback to build throw the football. Now, 137 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 1: I do like the overall physicality because you're talking about 138 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:31,680 Speaker 1: a unit. You're not talking about a guy, and I 139 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 1: do believe unit football is good. That offensive line stoutlind 140 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,479 Speaker 1: that's real, that's brick and mortar like they are going 141 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:40,599 Speaker 1: to have to be dealt with. So I do understand 142 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,480 Speaker 1: your argument, then, doesn't just depend on matchups to your 143 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 1: point to say it's the opponent, right, you say it's 144 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:48,560 Speaker 1: the Rams. The Rams have one of the best corners, 145 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:50,480 Speaker 1: the best corner in the game. They've got two awesome 146 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:54,880 Speaker 1: pass rushers. They're built to take on, not an Eagles team. 147 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 1: In fact, run teams have run. I want the Bucks. 148 00:06:57,640 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 1: If I'm the Rams, I want the Cowboys. I want 149 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:01,040 Speaker 1: a team I can, you know, go through the air 150 00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:02,600 Speaker 1: a little bit because I'm built for speed and I'm 151 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 1: built for that. Teams that run I don't want that. 152 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,760 Speaker 1: We've seen them struggle against teams like the Niners, the Titans, 153 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 1: the Ravens. They're built more for speed than for and 154 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 1: for stopping the pass. I think, and I think the 155 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 1: Eagles could give them problems. I wouldn't want to see 156 00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:15,680 Speaker 1: the Eagles. It depends on the matchup. To me, is 157 00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 1: what I'm saying. How much is the matchup important? Like 158 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:20,720 Speaker 1: what percentage of that is that in this massive because 159 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:22,360 Speaker 1: the Ramps, if they lose, to speak in the Cardinals 160 00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:24,280 Speaker 1: stake the division, they have a chance of playing Dallas, 161 00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:26,200 Speaker 1: which I think is a better scenario for them, right sure, 162 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 1: I think so. It's what's funny is that we're like, 163 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:30,800 Speaker 1: we're talking about these run games and it's like Ezekiel 164 00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:35,280 Speaker 1: Elliott and Zachs and Peter's like Boston Scott and I 165 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:37,440 Speaker 1: get it, man, Like I get it. There the fame 166 00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:39,320 Speaker 1: and the jersey sale things have nothing to do right now. 167 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 1: It's like who smashes faces? Right, There's just a small 168 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:43,240 Speaker 1: thing like Lane Johnson wasn't voted to the Pro Bowl 169 00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:46,400 Speaker 1: and that doesn't sure, but like that team has embodied 170 00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:47,960 Speaker 1: that and it's pissed them off there, Like he's the 171 00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 1: best tackle in the league, he's not on the Pro Bowl. 172 00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:53,400 Speaker 1: And like many markets, that might not work, many teams 173 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:56,320 Speaker 1: that might not work, Eagles fans and that Eagle building, 174 00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:59,320 Speaker 1: like the rally around that. There's something to it because, 175 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:01,720 Speaker 1: like you said, they've done it before, the underdog mask 176 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,160 Speaker 1: the whole thing. We're here again four years later. It's 177 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,760 Speaker 1: the same story. These game plans change in the playoffs. 178 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,640 Speaker 1: These coaches, they don't get that four week sample size. 179 00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:12,440 Speaker 1: They go into your numbers and they know exactly what 180 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,000 Speaker 1: you're gonna do. Anyone that lines up against the Eagles, 181 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:16,640 Speaker 1: they are lining up in a seven and an eight 182 00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:19,280 Speaker 1: man box to start the game because they know they 183 00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:21,240 Speaker 1: know those numbers. They know they've rushed Rover rund and 184 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:23,120 Speaker 1: seventy five yards. So we're gonna see if they can 185 00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:24,760 Speaker 1: throw it up. We're gonna make them throw the ball. 186 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,560 Speaker 1: And I just don't see this young football team, even 187 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:29,840 Speaker 1: though they've been great, and I think it's about the 188 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:33,079 Speaker 1: story and expectations. That's why you Dallas for the last 189 00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:35,439 Speaker 1: five years. Has nothing to do with once you get 190 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:37,480 Speaker 1: into the playoffs at GM ife with your thought, let's 191 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:39,679 Speaker 1: forgetting en rapping how we got some updates around the league, 192 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,360 Speaker 1: checking out some superstars that could have huge impacts on 193 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,480 Speaker 1: the rest of the season and into the playoffs. Let's 194 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 1: get an update and good morning to you Ian on 195 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:51,480 Speaker 1: Derrick Henry and Jimmy Garoppolo. Potentially huge day for the 196 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,520 Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans today. Of course, we know that they have 197 00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,960 Speaker 1: lost Derek Henry been without him for about two months 198 00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:01,079 Speaker 1: since he had surgery to repair the fifth metatur Soonas 199 00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:05,000 Speaker 1: for the Jones fracture in early early November. They have waited. 200 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,040 Speaker 1: They have by the other time, they've gotten all the 201 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,760 Speaker 1: way to the brink of the number one seed. And 202 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,240 Speaker 1: now the like as it is that they get Derrick 203 00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:16,280 Speaker 1: Henry back at practice today, they are expected to do 204 00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,280 Speaker 1: is open the practice window for him. He's gonna remain 205 00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:22,360 Speaker 1: on injured reserve, but they will designate him to return, 206 00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:25,360 Speaker 1: which means he will be able to practice today. Now, 207 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:28,359 Speaker 1: as far as the game on Sunday, it is theoretically 208 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,920 Speaker 1: possible that he could play. He could get a few carries. 209 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,600 Speaker 1: We'll see how practice goes, how confident they are in him, 210 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:37,520 Speaker 1: but maybe more importantly, whether or not he plays on Sunday. 211 00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:40,560 Speaker 1: They do expect him back for the playoffs, and you're 212 00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:43,200 Speaker 1: under almost any circumstances, I'd say they expect it back 213 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 1: next Sunday. But this is a team that actually could 214 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 1: get the bye where they win, so we could see 215 00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:50,880 Speaker 1: him in a couple of weeks ready to go at 216 00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 1: full strength of the Titans. Meanwhile, for the San Francisco 217 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:56,000 Speaker 1: forty nine ers, they are waiting word on whether or 218 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,280 Speaker 1: not they're starting quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo will be able to 219 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:02,280 Speaker 1: practice today. He is dealing with a pretty significant thumb injury, 220 00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:05,360 Speaker 1: a torn ligament and a chipped bone in his thumb. 221 00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:09,120 Speaker 1: Wasn't able to do really anything at all last week. 222 00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:13,120 Speaker 1: Obviously Trey Land started. There's some hope inside the building 223 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:15,800 Speaker 1: that he will be able to practice today. I'm a little, 224 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,640 Speaker 1: let's say more open on that. We will show you 225 00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:20,600 Speaker 1: how much he's able to throw, but at least we'll 226 00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:23,920 Speaker 1: get to managers later today. Welcome back to a good 227 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,120 Speaker 1: morning football coach on the Germot on the way. Time 228 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 1: for little Whiteboard Wednesday. Right now, get at your white 229 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,080 Speaker 1: boards or notepads whatever at home and play along. It 230 00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:33,800 Speaker 1: is officially the last week of the regular season, but 231 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:35,920 Speaker 1: there's still some post season details to be fine live. 232 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,640 Speaker 1: So I want to know the player or the coach 233 00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:41,439 Speaker 1: with the most at steak heading into week eighteen. Shrakes, 234 00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:42,880 Speaker 1: who is it? Yeah, A lot of this could be 235 00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,920 Speaker 1: like hot seat stuff for long term extension stuff. I'm 236 00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,240 Speaker 1: looking at the history books. T J. Watt to me 237 00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:50,959 Speaker 1: has the most at stake because we don't talk about 238 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:54,160 Speaker 1: Mark gastino sack record too often. A shot show jall 239 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:55,959 Speaker 1: go win that record, Go win that record. You look 240 00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:57,640 Speaker 1: at this right now. I don't care how many games 241 00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:00,200 Speaker 1: are played. If t J. Watt has a sacker or 242 00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,480 Speaker 1: he is the all time record holder for sacks in 243 00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:05,760 Speaker 1: a season. Right now, he's got twenty one and a half. 244 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:09,920 Speaker 1: Stray has twenty two and a half. Justin Houston, Marquette, 245 00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:13,280 Speaker 1: all these guys, they're all footnotes. We talk about the 246 00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:15,920 Speaker 1: record holder. T J. Watt, go get that belt. This 247 00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:20,480 Speaker 1: is the week whatever. I don't know. Actually, it's a 248 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:22,560 Speaker 1: great question when when you are the record holder, and 249 00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:24,520 Speaker 1: you have been that record holder, how do you feel 250 00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:27,160 Speaker 1: when someone else gets that record, maybe in this case 251 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:29,559 Speaker 1: with an extra game. That's the story of my life. 252 00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:31,240 Speaker 1: All I do is watch the Buckeyes. They break all 253 00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:33,960 Speaker 1: my records, watch the Vikings justin Jefferson, all they break 254 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:36,680 Speaker 1: all my hurts a little bit though, right well, but 255 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:38,800 Speaker 1: it's just all part of it. But I'm gonna go 256 00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:43,480 Speaker 1: most the game. Carson Wentz, this guy was MVP, the 257 00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:45,840 Speaker 1: runner up, I mean, in the running before he gets 258 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:49,199 Speaker 1: hurt last week, we know he had COVID. Gets into 259 00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:53,160 Speaker 1: the game, played like he had COVID. Now they're in Jacksonville, 260 00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:56,880 Speaker 1: they fired their coach, the season's done, they're playing golf. 261 00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 1: If he loses to Jacksonville and the coach have lost 262 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,200 Speaker 1: how many times in Jaxson go in a row? Several 263 00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:05,600 Speaker 1: they haven't won. There's his twenty four ten. This guy's 264 00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,200 Speaker 1: got a lot to game this weekend. It does win, 265 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:11,520 Speaker 1: and they're in if they he loses the Jacksonville though, 266 00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:13,240 Speaker 1: I don't think, well, you know, he can't go back 267 00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:14,840 Speaker 1: to Philly now, you won't be able to go back 268 00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:19,960 Speaker 1: to Indianapolis. Guys, it's a big game. Four that's great, 269 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:21,880 Speaker 1: and it takes me right to mind. I'm just gonna 270 00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,440 Speaker 1: say all of them. I'm gonna say all the Lions 271 00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,920 Speaker 1: and the Jags because this also involves us. There's number 272 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:30,760 Speaker 1: one overall pick stuff at stake here, guys. We will 273 00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,280 Speaker 1: talk about one of these teams for five months after 274 00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:35,600 Speaker 1: the season. Here's the deal. The Jaguars have the number 275 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:38,760 Speaker 1: one overall pick. If they win and Carson Wentz does 276 00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:40,600 Speaker 1: lose that day, I mean the Jags win and the 277 00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:43,440 Speaker 1: Lions lose at Lambeau, the Lions have the number one 278 00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:46,040 Speaker 1: overall pick. There's a lot of juice to that because 279 00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:48,880 Speaker 1: if you like this Aidan Hutchinson kid from Michigan, he's 280 00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:51,719 Speaker 1: in Michigan, the Lions are there, maybe he'll go number one, 281 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,160 Speaker 1: so they could totally flip the table. Put it this way, 282 00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:56,280 Speaker 1: how many segments are we gonna have about the draft 283 00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:59,560 Speaker 1: after the season fifty thousand? It might be the Jaguars 284 00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:01,880 Speaker 1: might be the Lions to take your pick right there, 285 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,120 Speaker 1: and the Jaguars last year. I'm okay with that Kindelulu 286 00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:06,319 Speaker 1: Blue would be kind of fun. It would be kind 287 00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:08,400 Speaker 1: of fun. So that's a lot of steak. I just might, 288 00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:11,480 Speaker 1: as it was written, Kay, Peter, Kyle Chris on the board, 289 00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:13,120 Speaker 1: because we have a lot of steak here, My god, 290 00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:19,840 Speaker 1: Jars last week talking about that game, what happened during 291 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:21,800 Speaker 1: that game? Months and it's okay. I was trying to 292 00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,559 Speaker 1: do connective to shots segue. We have this clip of 293 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:26,680 Speaker 1: Mac Jones. You brought it up on the show several times. 294 00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:29,000 Speaker 1: They're laughing or having the time of their lives. So 295 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:31,520 Speaker 1: I figured, let's try to figure out what they were 296 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:35,120 Speaker 1: even talking about. What's going on here? Bill Belichick said, 297 00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:38,120 Speaker 1: blank to make Mac Jones laugh like that. On the sidelines, 298 00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:40,760 Speaker 1: he looked at Mac Jones and Kendrick Bourne. He said, 299 00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:45,800 Speaker 1: My New Year's resolution, recred reporter was to not eat 300 00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:53,080 Speaker 1: rookie quarterbacks. Oh well, I guess I've broken. He wanted 301 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:56,720 Speaker 1: to lay off the rookie quarterbacks. Try again next year. Oopsie. 302 00:13:57,559 --> 00:13:59,920 Speaker 1: I was doing a little lip reading, and I could 303 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:01,920 Speaker 1: scort that. He told Mac Jones and the other guys, 304 00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:03,640 Speaker 1: if I had the first pick in the draft, I 305 00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:06,360 Speaker 1: would have taken you over that guy over there. Wow. Okay, 306 00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,120 Speaker 1: But then I go back on it, and then I remember, 307 00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:12,040 Speaker 1: like you from the press conference, the young lady asked 308 00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:14,800 Speaker 1: him about his new year's resolution. So I told him 309 00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:20,240 Speaker 1: I'll be funny, okay, interesting, and they all laughed. That's iconic. 310 00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 1: I see that as the as an end of a 311 00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:26,080 Speaker 1: funny story, not necessarily set up in punchline. So I 312 00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 1: think he was telling him a story and about his career, 313 00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:30,800 Speaker 1: and he's just saying, you know it was it was 314 00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:33,840 Speaker 1: a horrible night, and and he gets the punchline. And 315 00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:40,760 Speaker 1: then Pete Carroll decided to pass. The actually decided to pass. 316 00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:46,680 Speaker 1: He wouldn't give it to me. Oh, they just died. 317 00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:49,760 Speaker 1: They absolutely died. And he tells that story every year, 318 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,240 Speaker 1: and he always pauses, and it's the best. It's like 319 00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:55,520 Speaker 1: the reading of the Night before Christmas. She renailed it, 320 00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:57,160 Speaker 1: but if you missed any of there a only other 321 00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:59,280 Speaker 1: good ideas floating around out there.

Hey, everybody represented 330 00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:40,280 Speaker 1: by Old Trap Review Jurkey, thanks for joining us this morning. 331 00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:43,920 Speaker 1: It's Wednesday, January fifth. My name is Kay Adams, Kyle Brant, 332 00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:47,000 Speaker 1: Peter Schrager, all here. Good morning, gentleman wide receiver Hall 333 00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:51,680 Speaker 1: of Famer Chris Carter in the building. One more and 334 00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:53,520 Speaker 1: it's a big one in the a FCUS. The playoffs 335 00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:55,920 Speaker 1: on the line for the final game of the regular season. Winning, 336 00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:58,680 Speaker 1: they're ind for the Chargers for the Raiders, the same 337 00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:01,280 Speaker 1: deal and you can see still a pass to the 338 00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:03,760 Speaker 1: postseason if they tire or take a loss. But they'll 339 00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:07,040 Speaker 1: know all of that info by kickoff, so we'll start 340 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,920 Speaker 1: playing in simple, guys, it's a great, great game on 341 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,520 Speaker 1: Sunday night. Who has the Edge? And what they are 342 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:16,320 Speaker 1: calling and book we're branding. This is game two seventy 343 00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:19,240 Speaker 1: two cool of the twenty twenty one regular season. Who 344 00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:21,480 Speaker 1: is the Edge? Tricks? This is cool because both teams 345 00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:23,920 Speaker 1: have different storylines. The Raiders are coming in red hot 346 00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,200 Speaker 1: three straight wins. Everyone wrote them off and here they are. 347 00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:28,520 Speaker 1: The Chargers everyone assumed was a playoff team and then 348 00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:30,480 Speaker 1: stumbled at the end, and then last week got their 349 00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:33,640 Speaker 1: groove back when they got some players back. The Chargers 350 00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:36,160 Speaker 1: have to find a way to stop the most unstoppable 351 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:38,360 Speaker 1: player in football right now. I'm talking about Jamar Chase. 352 00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:40,560 Speaker 1: I'm not talking Cooper Cup. Let me get some Hunter 353 00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:45,440 Speaker 1: Renfro say. I don't know what happened over the last month, 354 00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:48,400 Speaker 1: one Hunter Renfro has become a wide receiver one and 355 00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:52,440 Speaker 1: this is a real, real problem for opposing defenses right now. 356 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:56,000 Speaker 1: And the Chargers have struggled against the past in recent weeks. 357 00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:58,200 Speaker 1: And we saw what the Texans were able to do 358 00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:00,320 Speaker 1: with them. Davis Mills threw all over them. He saw, 359 00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:02,360 Speaker 1: of course, what the Chiefs were going to do in 360 00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:05,360 Speaker 1: crunch time with Tyree Hill and Travis Kelsey scoring at will, 361 00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:07,240 Speaker 1: They've got to find a plan to stop this guy. 362 00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:10,320 Speaker 1: And Hunter Renfro's five catches away from tying the record, 363 00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:12,720 Speaker 1: six from beating the record. If you if you want 364 00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:13,879 Speaker 1: to know, can he do it in a big game? 365 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:15,320 Speaker 1: Is he gonna stumble in a big game? In the 366 00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:19,359 Speaker 1: biggest game of his life? He was the wide receiver 367 00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:22,040 Speaker 1: one on a Clemson team that played Alabama in the 368 00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:26,080 Speaker 1: National Title Game. And in twenty seventeen, Renfro went for 369 00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:29,920 Speaker 1: ten catches ninety eight yards and had two touchdowns, have 370 00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:33,399 Speaker 1: had the game winning score, the seal up Clemson beating 371 00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:35,919 Speaker 1: Bama in the National Title. This was the second one, 372 00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:37,840 Speaker 1: the sequel, this is the one. This is the Shawn 373 00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:42,680 Speaker 1: Watson and it was Ronald Renfro was the biggest star. Yeah, 374 00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:44,840 Speaker 1: the Chargers, we could talk all about that, and we're 375 00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:46,200 Speaker 1: ready to call about them. I just wanted to say 376 00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:48,200 Speaker 1: that Hunter Renfro is gonna be the X factor and 377 00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:51,080 Speaker 1: the Chargers can stop him. We haven't seen Darren Waller 378 00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:53,240 Speaker 1: healthy in quite some time. We haven't seen Zay Jones 379 00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:55,680 Speaker 1: put together two games in a row and Josh Jacobs 380 00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:58,000 Speaker 1: isn't going to necessarily able to carry the entire load 381 00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:00,440 Speaker 1: if you stop Hunter Renfro and I can belie I'm 382 00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:03,760 Speaker 1: saying this in week eighteen season you can stop the Raiders. 383 00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:05,600 Speaker 1: I just don't know if you can, because that's been 384 00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:07,040 Speaker 1: the game plan for all these teams and they haven't 385 00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:11,560 Speaker 1: been able to correct. Injuries have thrust him into the forefront. Suspensions, 386 00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:14,959 Speaker 1: guys being cut, rugs being let go. That made him 387 00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:18,199 Speaker 1: move up the chart, But you can't deny his overall 388 00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:20,280 Speaker 1: ability to get off the bump and run. You can't 389 00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:21,960 Speaker 1: bump the guy. And if a guy's going to be 390 00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:25,240 Speaker 1: a slot receiver and does not have outstanding height, weight 391 00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:28,000 Speaker 1: and speed, you have to be elusive off the line 392 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,479 Speaker 1: of scrimmage, and you could see man when you bump him. 393 00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:33,480 Speaker 1: He's able to get separation week after week. I do 394 00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:37,120 Speaker 1: believe though, what they've been through totality the last three months, 395 00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:39,600 Speaker 1: this team's got to be exhausted. They just had another 396 00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:42,680 Speaker 1: player arrested. After the Colts, the team flies back, he's 397 00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:46,520 Speaker 1: sleep with a light in his car. He gets now 398 00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,359 Speaker 1: I know this locker room is one of the most 399 00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:52,359 Speaker 1: diverse locker room in the history of all sports. But 400 00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:55,760 Speaker 1: as a human being, at some point you get exhausted. 401 00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:58,760 Speaker 1: That's why I believe that the Chargers at home should 402 00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:02,240 Speaker 1: have the advantage. Should but the other team should have 403 00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:04,399 Speaker 1: with the prior stuff that happened if they get to 404 00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:06,400 Speaker 1: the playoffs. Is Rich Posaci and the conversation for Coach 405 00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:08,040 Speaker 1: of the Year, because it's been a pretty incredible thing 406 00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:10,159 Speaker 1: that he's amazing. I mean, that's pretty amazing thing. I 407 00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:11,639 Speaker 1: actually think the Raiders have an edge too, for a 408 00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:13,879 Speaker 1: lot of different reasons. But all of my focus for 409 00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:16,320 Speaker 1: this game continues to go to an unprecedented piece of 410 00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:18,879 Speaker 1: potential NFL history that I brought up yesterday. If you 411 00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,720 Speaker 1: have not followed this yet, the setup is absolutely insane 412 00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:24,200 Speaker 1: and it's starting to be talked about by the principles involved. 413 00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:27,560 Speaker 1: All Right, if the Jaguars win earlier in the day 414 00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:31,119 Speaker 1: over the Colts in Jacksonville, and the Chargers and Raiders 415 00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:33,560 Speaker 1: play to eight tie, there's a couple of snowstorms come 416 00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:36,520 Speaker 1: and God might be busy for Jacksonville out. Yeah, it's 417 00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:39,119 Speaker 1: all right, buying intervention. Okay, that's unbelievable. I mean, you 418 00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:42,200 Speaker 1: just might a little bit happen that the Chargers and Raiders, 419 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:46,360 Speaker 1: who play Sunday night, both punched their ticket. So it's 420 00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:49,280 Speaker 1: a weird scenario in which if the Jaguars win, and 421 00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:51,320 Speaker 1: again I want to point this out, Frank Reich has 422 00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:53,639 Speaker 1: never won in Jacksonville. No Colts team has won there 423 00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:57,560 Speaker 1: in seven years. If the Jaguars beat the Colts, it 424 00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:01,200 Speaker 1: immediately becomes beneficial for the Chargers and the Raiders to 425 00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:04,879 Speaker 1: tie yesterday, as it would have it. Brandon Staley, the 426 00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:06,760 Speaker 1: head coach of the Charger, was on with Rich eisen 427 00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:10,000 Speaker 1: Rich presented this scenario to him, and I thought Staley's 428 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:14,600 Speaker 1: answer was great. That's a pretty loaded scenario there. Yeah, 429 00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:18,240 Speaker 1: you know, like that is a all time coffee shop scenario. 430 00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:21,639 Speaker 1: I think we all respect the game in the NFL 431 00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:24,480 Speaker 1: Shield and the integrity of this game far too much 432 00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:27,719 Speaker 1: to be complicit in something like that. This game matters 433 00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:30,280 Speaker 1: too much to too many people, and we want to 434 00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:33,000 Speaker 1: play our best and be proud of the result one 435 00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:35,560 Speaker 1: way or the other. And so I know what, We're 436 00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:37,440 Speaker 1: going to do everything we can to go win this game. 437 00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:40,399 Speaker 1: All right. That was, of course Rich the show on Peacock. 438 00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:42,680 Speaker 1: Here's what's even more interesting. Let's look at the day 439 00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:45,000 Speaker 1: the Jaguars Colts games at one o'clock, so it's going 440 00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:47,399 Speaker 1: to finish about four Jaguars win. Oh my god, you 441 00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:50,760 Speaker 1: got like a four hour gap before the Sunday night game, 442 00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:54,359 Speaker 1: with which, if you like, you might want to communicate 443 00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:57,880 Speaker 1: or strategize or talk. Now, I don't assume, nor would 444 00:20:57,880 --> 00:20:59,399 Speaker 1: I ever think that the Chargers is going to come 445 00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:01,159 Speaker 1: and take a knee of snap. There might be some 446 00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:04,479 Speaker 1: things if the game is tied late, if it's sixteen sixteen, 447 00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:06,560 Speaker 1: if it's twenty one, twenty one, or if it goes 448 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:08,600 Speaker 1: to overtime, where you look across the sideline you're like, 449 00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:11,160 Speaker 1: should we do this thing? Does the league have something 450 00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,600 Speaker 1: to say about this? In that for our window about gentlemen, 451 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:16,000 Speaker 1: we understand the scenario. You better get out there and compete. 452 00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:17,800 Speaker 1: We're watching them. Do the Raiders want to listen to 453 00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:21,440 Speaker 1: the league. There's there's there's a lot of thick things 454 00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:23,480 Speaker 1: in this. And if the Jaguars win, it is on. 455 00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:26,520 Speaker 1: That's your Sunday night football game for Week eighteen, last 456 00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:29,040 Speaker 1: game of the regular season. Let's bring an Ian rapid four. 457 00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:32,600 Speaker 1: Now getting some chuck ups and updates. I want to 458 00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:34,080 Speaker 1: go back to what you guys are talking about with 459 00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:37,600 Speaker 1: the chaos scenario, I guess you would call with charges 460 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:40,119 Speaker 1: raiders to talk to a well placed source with one 461 00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:42,560 Speaker 1: of those teams. Yesterday actually just kind of going through 462 00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:45,800 Speaker 1: scenarios and I said you would would you guys actually 463 00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:49,440 Speaker 1: just kneel for sixty minutes? And the response I got 464 00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:51,879 Speaker 1: was how do we know they're gonna do it? So 465 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:55,520 Speaker 1: it's like, is that risk worth it where you just kneel? 466 00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:57,240 Speaker 1: And then they just go, oh, we're not gonna kneel. 467 00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:59,440 Speaker 1: We just would prefer you not in the playoffs, So 468 00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:01,560 Speaker 1: we're just going to throw a bomb, score a touchdown, 469 00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:04,720 Speaker 1: and it'll be us in the colts. Like that's that's 470 00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:06,840 Speaker 1: the problem. Is kind of like Peter was saying, like, 471 00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:08,280 Speaker 1: how do you know they're gonna do it? You know 472 00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:12,040 Speaker 1: the spirit of competition, because you blame Brennan Staley if 473 00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:13,679 Speaker 1: he doesn't keep up his end of the bargain. It's 474 00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:16,560 Speaker 1: in that scenario. Well that's what they're all saying right 475 00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:19,760 Speaker 1: now to Ian and too Rich. But the scenario you're 476 00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:21,520 Speaker 1: talking about, Ian is where they take knees each of 477 00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:23,320 Speaker 1: them and on the last play Car fakes in me 478 00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:25,080 Speaker 1: and then chucks it up top and says, screw it. 479 00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:32,359 Speaker 1: You guys are out suckers because because let's say that 480 00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:36,920 Speaker 1: the ultimate spirit of competition. Yes it is. It's kind 481 00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:38,560 Speaker 1: of messed up, but I get it too. But but 482 00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:40,880 Speaker 1: here's the thing. Like, let's say, let's just say you're 483 00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:43,600 Speaker 1: the Raiders and you have plans to kneel right up 484 00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:45,680 Speaker 1: until the last play when you're just gonna really screw 485 00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:48,000 Speaker 1: them and knock the Charges out of the playoffs. Maybe 486 00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:50,240 Speaker 1: you do that because you know what, you'd prefer the 487 00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:52,520 Speaker 1: Colts in the playoffs then the Chargers because you don't 488 00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:55,399 Speaker 1: want to see Justin Herbert with you know, advancement in 489 00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:58,040 Speaker 1: the whole season on. Maybe it's beneficial to the Raiders 490 00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:00,560 Speaker 1: to pretend until the end and then say ask room, 491 00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:02,560 Speaker 1: because we don't want, you know, one of the best 492 00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:07,000 Speaker 1: quarterbacks for the next twenty It would shatter the radiance. 493 00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:09,280 Speaker 1: Everyone would watch the game Raiders and Raiders fans don't 494 00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:11,680 Speaker 1: hate the Colts. Raiders fans hate the Chargers. So yeah, 495 00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:13,920 Speaker 1: that's a lot of stuns. Talk to you a little 496 00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:17,480 Speaker 1: bit later, Ian, appreciate your insights. That's a great listen 497 00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:19,880 Speaker 1: to me.

One 505 00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:47,040 Speaker 1: of our goals when the division we get a chance 506 00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:50,600 Speaker 1: to do that at home. Hey, the blend of humility 507 00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:53,560 Speaker 1: and confidence big time this week. But I'm going to 508 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:58,560 Speaker 1: be pretty Fellows and Bills are going to the playoffs. 509 00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:00,720 Speaker 1: They go to the playoffs every year. It's one of 510 00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:02,320 Speaker 1: the reasons we love this guy. One of the best 511 00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:04,359 Speaker 1: coaches in the league, one of the best men in 512 00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:06,680 Speaker 1: the league, one of our favorites. Head coach of the 513 00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:10,000 Speaker 1: playoff bound Buffalo Bills. It's Sean McDermott. Was up, coach, 514 00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:12,880 Speaker 1: what's up? Guys need to be with you this morning, coach. 515 00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:15,600 Speaker 1: Can we go back a few weeks Week fourteen, You 516 00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:18,240 Speaker 1: guys are down to Tampa. It's halftime of that Buccaneers game. 517 00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:20,080 Speaker 1: You be down twenty four to three. The week before, 518 00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:22,320 Speaker 1: you had lost to the Patriots in that very bizarre game. 519 00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:24,120 Speaker 1: Could have been a lot of doubts in that locker room. 520 00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:26,800 Speaker 1: You came out in the second half looked incredible and 521 00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:29,040 Speaker 1: I think have ever since. What did you find that 522 00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:31,720 Speaker 1: day that's changed how the season's going? Well, Kyl, you know, 523 00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:33,800 Speaker 1: I think really it was the first time I sensed 524 00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:36,400 Speaker 1: our leaders as a group really step up and take 525 00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:39,080 Speaker 1: control of the situation. And that was the first time 526 00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:42,119 Speaker 1: this season where I felt that synergy that by that 527 00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:44,960 Speaker 1: energies you will of us playing together as a team. 528 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:48,000 Speaker 1: It was great to see. Coach. There were some high expectations, 529 00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:49,840 Speaker 1: of course going to the season, and while you guys 530 00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:52,119 Speaker 1: are headed back to the playoffs, this season has certainly 531 00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:55,440 Speaker 1: had some dips, some ups, some down and yet here 532 00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:58,000 Speaker 1: we are going in I went away from a division title. 533 00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:01,320 Speaker 1: Tell us how the resiliency this team has shown through 534 00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:03,840 Speaker 1: over the course of an eighteen week season. Well, Peter, 535 00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:05,919 Speaker 1: as you know, every year is tough in the NFL. 536 00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:08,040 Speaker 1: That's how this thing, that's how this league works, and 537 00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:10,360 Speaker 1: just some are tougher than others. But I think it's 538 00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:13,040 Speaker 1: the ones that are tough like this one's been for 539 00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:16,080 Speaker 1: us that you learn the most from. And it's ones 540 00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:19,320 Speaker 1: like these, seasons like these that become special because of 541 00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:21,800 Speaker 1: how hard they are. And we've seen over seventeen they're 542 00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:24,080 Speaker 1: running in a touchdown and these highlights were showing and 543 00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:26,320 Speaker 1: no one's been more resilient than your quarterback, Josh Allen, 544 00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:29,520 Speaker 1: overcoming adversity throughout the season. Now back to first place 545 00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:32,159 Speaker 1: in the AFC East. Morning, coach, I want you to 546 00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:34,679 Speaker 1: take us, if you can, to the moment this season 547 00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:37,680 Speaker 1: that you found yourself most proud of your quarterback. Well, 548 00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:39,280 Speaker 1: you know, kay, I think it's I don't think it's 549 00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:41,440 Speaker 1: really been one moment. I think that through the course 550 00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:44,520 Speaker 1: of the season, I've seen Josh Allen grow, not only 551 00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:47,639 Speaker 1: on the field with his arm and his decision making, 552 00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:50,840 Speaker 1: but really off the field. Okay, that that's a spot 553 00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:52,520 Speaker 1: a lot of people don't get a chance to see. 554 00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:56,600 Speaker 1: His leadership has grown exponentially over the back half of 555 00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:59,240 Speaker 1: this season, and I'm extremely proud of him for that. 556 00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:01,919 Speaker 1: A coach, I want to take a minute. You got 557 00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:03,960 Speaker 1: some special players in that locker room, but I want 558 00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:07,119 Speaker 1: everyone to hear at home. With the big left tackle 559 00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:10,640 Speaker 1: Dion Dawkins had to say at the podium after Sundays win, 560 00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:14,080 Speaker 1: Shawn is everything Shawn is shown is our head spear. 561 00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:17,080 Speaker 1: You know, that's our our leaderboard, you know, like he's 562 00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:21,000 Speaker 1: our leader. It just shows that Shan is Sean and 563 00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:23,960 Speaker 1: he's a stone cold killer in the face. But he 564 00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:26,080 Speaker 1: knows exactly and what he's doing, and he knows what 565 00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:29,800 Speaker 1: to do. He knows like how to fuel his players, 566 00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:32,480 Speaker 1: and he knows how to honestly lead the right way 567 00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:35,639 Speaker 1: when you treat your guys right, your guys rally and 568 00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:39,280 Speaker 1: m that's exactly what and we're doing. We're rallying behind 569 00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:43,880 Speaker 1: a leader that treats his troops front coach. That's amazing. 570 00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:47,440 Speaker 1: Two things, How nice is that to hear? And secondly, 571 00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:50,480 Speaker 1: how nice knowing you got the big fellow protecting the 572 00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:55,160 Speaker 1: backside of the franchise quarterback and Josh Allen. Yeah, Chris, 573 00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,520 Speaker 1: I appreciate that. You know, that's humbling. It really is. 574 00:26:57,800 --> 00:26:59,760 Speaker 1: It's a blessing from guy to be able to be 575 00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:03,960 Speaker 1: in Buffalo around great people like beyond, great staff, great teammates, 576 00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:07,320 Speaker 1: great ownership, and it's guys like that they make our team. 577 00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:10,560 Speaker 1: You know, knowing that he's protecting Josh's blindside gives me 578 00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:13,080 Speaker 1: great comfort. And I think he's played his best football 579 00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:15,800 Speaker 1: down the stretch because he's playing for a stone cold killer. 580 00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:17,640 Speaker 1: That's one of the reasons they all are a coach, 581 00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:19,879 Speaker 1: and that's why a victor in New York on Sunday 582 00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:21,840 Speaker 1: against the Jets, you guys have the crown. You win 583 00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:25,800 Speaker 1: the AFC East. It is yours, which also guarantees a 584 00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:29,160 Speaker 1: home playoff game, and I'm talking a real one, hopefully 585 00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:32,440 Speaker 1: full capacity, not reduced crowds and none of that stuff. 586 00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:34,840 Speaker 1: God willing. What does it mean for you and the 587 00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:37,200 Speaker 1: Bills to suit up in front of those fans, those 588 00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:39,480 Speaker 1: maniacs called the Bills Mafia, and what's that scene going 589 00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:41,520 Speaker 1: to be? Like? Yeah? Very unique? I mean, this is 590 00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:44,440 Speaker 1: this place is unlike any I've ever been before. I've 591 00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:48,600 Speaker 1: been around some great organizations, but this fan base, to me, 592 00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:51,119 Speaker 1: tops them all. It really does the whether we have 593 00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:54,200 Speaker 1: this time of year. It's not always eighty and sonny 594 00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:56,360 Speaker 1: like it is maybe in other places, and I think 595 00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:58,960 Speaker 1: that it really votes well for our team and our 596 00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:01,639 Speaker 1: fans and the environment they build around our stadium on 597 00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:05,000 Speaker 1: game day and it's just an unique experience and As 598 00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:07,160 Speaker 1: I said, we're blessed to be here, coming here five 599 00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:10,080 Speaker 1: years ago, Brandon and our partnership and what he does 600 00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:12,359 Speaker 1: with our team and for our team and providing us 601 00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:15,200 Speaker 1: the players. But we have a chance this weekend to 602 00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:17,680 Speaker 1: do something that hasn't been done in terms of winning 603 00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:20,159 Speaker 1: the division at home for a number of years here, 604 00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:21,720 Speaker 1: and that's what we're looking forward to right now. I 605 00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:24,080 Speaker 1: know you are, and it's been a wildly successful partnership. 606 00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:25,640 Speaker 1: I know you still have a lot of goals in mind, 607 00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:28,600 Speaker 1: including ndying this season in Los Angeles in February. Coach, 608 00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:30,560 Speaker 1: we love you and you're always very modest about this, 609 00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:32,200 Speaker 1: but we need to know. Have you gotten a lift 610 00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:35,600 Speaker 1: in yet this morning and wasn't on your driveway? No? 611 00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:38,080 Speaker 1: Not necessarily. I guess I should say, do I look 612 00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:41,720 Speaker 1: like I have Do I look like I have back car? Yes? Always, 613 00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:46,160 Speaker 1: Kyle emphatically, always, Oh my god, the dip machine. Pray 614 00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:49,719 Speaker 1: for that thing. Coach, Kyle, have you gotten your workout 615 00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:51,480 Speaker 1: in this morning? Yeah, I'm carrying the show like I 616 00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:55,200 Speaker 1: do every day. Sorry, Coach, thank you very much for 617 00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:57,800 Speaker 1: joining us. We all four of us love having you 618 00:28:57,920 --> 00:28:59,640 Speaker 1: on and it's just an incredible thing. You guys were 619 00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:02,080 Speaker 1: doing good luck this weekend. We'll see you soon. Appreciate it, guys, 620 00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:20,240 Speaker 1: Happy New Year. We've got Ian Raper, We're joining us. 621 00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:23,480 Speaker 1: Let's get right too with the lead black. Hey yeah, Ian. 622 00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:26,560 Speaker 1: The Niners are fighting for a playoff spot in week eighteen. 623 00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:30,240 Speaker 1: Will they have Jimmy Garoppolo Jimmy small hands apparently for 624 00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:33,600 Speaker 1: their season finale? I would say more like Jimmy mangled hands, 625 00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:37,080 Speaker 1: mangled finger. This is a significant injury for Jimmy Garoppolo. 626 00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:39,920 Speaker 1: It is a torn ligament in his right thumb, his 627 00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:43,640 Speaker 1: throwing thumb. There's also a chipped bone. The bone pulled 628 00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:46,600 Speaker 1: off when they when the ligament tour, which sounds extremely 629 00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:49,720 Speaker 1: extremely painful for Garoppolo, so painful that he was not 630 00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:53,680 Speaker 1: able to practice at all last week through barely at all. 631 00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:56,960 Speaker 1: Did not have a chance really at all of playing 632 00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:59,760 Speaker 1: in the game, which is why we saw Trey lands. Now. Internally, 633 00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:02,240 Speaker 1: they I held out some hope that Garrobo can somehow 634 00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:04,760 Speaker 1: be able to grip the football despite his scene if 635 00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:07,360 Speaker 1: an injury and practice today. From what I understand from 636 00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:09,640 Speaker 1: the sources that I've spoken with, they cast some doubt 637 00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:13,800 Speaker 1: on that. It's hard to imagine Garoppolo's thumb improving enough 638 00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:16,760 Speaker 1: to where he can grip a football. Yes, a week 639 00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:19,680 Speaker 1: of rehab could help, but surgery after the season, which 640 00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:21,920 Speaker 1: he is slated to have, will help more. A wait 641 00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:23,840 Speaker 1: and scene for the forty nine ers on whether or 642 00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:26,440 Speaker 1: not they have their starting quarterback for practice today, and 643 00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:29,640 Speaker 1: obviously that has huge ramifications for this weekend. Sure Trey 644 00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:31,800 Speaker 1: Lance looked better in the second half, slow started. Can't 645 00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:33,800 Speaker 1: do that again this week if they've got playoff hopes. 646 00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:35,680 Speaker 1: Thank you so much, Emai. Let's take into it now 647 00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,280 Speaker 1: here at the breakfast table. Despite Corn, Rutgers and nine 648 00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:40,360 Speaker 1: Ers in Shanahan, they've owned the Rams dating back to 649 00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:43,760 Speaker 1: twenty nineteen, five straight wins. All the numbers back it up. 650 00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:46,400 Speaker 1: Pro Bowl fullback Kyle used check when on NFL Now 651 00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:49,800 Speaker 1: just yesterday, and Siciliano asked the question, why have they 652 00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:54,720 Speaker 1: been so successful against the Rams recently? Tell me why? 653 00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:57,920 Speaker 1: Though in these five games, five in a row, you're 654 00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:00,040 Speaker 1: running for one hundred and twenty one yards, You're I 655 00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:02,800 Speaker 1: have a possession is eleven minutes more than theirs? I mean, 656 00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:06,200 Speaker 1: you dominate. Why have you had their number the last 657 00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:08,400 Speaker 1: two and a half years? I think We've just done 658 00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:10,320 Speaker 1: a good job of playing to our strengths when we 659 00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:12,760 Speaker 1: do play against them, and kind of like you just 660 00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:15,320 Speaker 1: said by rattling off those numbers, our strength is running 661 00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:17,960 Speaker 1: the football and controlling the time of possession and play 662 00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:20,640 Speaker 1: good defense and taking the ball away. That really is 663 00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:22,600 Speaker 1: the focus for us around here, and we put the 664 00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:24,640 Speaker 1: time in, we put the work in to make that 665 00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:26,480 Speaker 1: a strength of ours. So, you know, I think it 666 00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:28,800 Speaker 1: just so happens that when we played the Rams, those 667 00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:32,120 Speaker 1: have just been particularly good weeks in those areas. Let 668 00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:34,600 Speaker 1: me be clear, the NFC West is on the line 669 00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:36,480 Speaker 1: in this game, Kyle, I'm looking at you. Do the 670 00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:39,920 Speaker 1: Niners continue their dominance of the Ram Sunday? Probably? Yeah. 671 00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:42,440 Speaker 1: And it's just use checks say it's just one of 672 00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:43,840 Speaker 1: those things. It's not just one of those things. It's 673 00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:45,640 Speaker 1: not a couple in a row, it's many in a row. 674 00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:47,400 Speaker 1: This is now a thing. And I remember as a 675 00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:50,360 Speaker 1: program the first time that we realized shanahan and mcvayh 676 00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:52,160 Speaker 1: are going to coach against each other. We're very excited 677 00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:54,560 Speaker 1: and mcvanahan and we remember it was a lot fresher 678 00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:57,080 Speaker 1: reference at the time. We're like, it's the dueling Spider 679 00:31:57,120 --> 00:31:59,200 Speaker 1: Man game. It's the same guys, Quint, it's not the 680 00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:01,240 Speaker 1: doing Spider Man. They're not both Spider Man. It's like 681 00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:03,760 Speaker 1: a Spider Man an Aquaman or some one. Spider Man 682 00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:05,479 Speaker 1: has them on the headlock and it's just punching them. 683 00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:07,720 Speaker 1: This is bad. Like, and I'm looking at Sean, like, Sean, 684 00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:10,440 Speaker 1: you're the man. You've accomplished pretty much everything, but like 685 00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:12,840 Speaker 1: this has become a problem. This is your boy, this 686 00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:17,080 Speaker 1: is your bro. You can't lose five straight, potentially six straight, 687 00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:20,640 Speaker 1: and here's the problem. Like it's been all different ways, 688 00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:24,960 Speaker 1: high scoring games, low scoring games. It was with golf, 689 00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:27,600 Speaker 1: and it was with Stafford. Now Robert Sale has gone 690 00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:29,200 Speaker 1: on the other side. We need to take care of 691 00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:31,560 Speaker 1: this thing. Because it's cute cool. Your friends used to 692 00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:33,400 Speaker 1: coach together. You're also in the same division. They're right 693 00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:34,600 Speaker 1: in front of you. It's not two in a row, 694 00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:36,200 Speaker 1: it's not three. It's five in a row. And they've 695 00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:37,960 Speaker 1: both been asked about it. I find it's very interesting 696 00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:40,520 Speaker 1: how they talk about it. McVay. They've done a nice job. 697 00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:41,960 Speaker 1: And I'm not gonna sit here and go into what 698 00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:44,520 Speaker 1: we could have happened in all those five games. Shanahan. 699 00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:46,960 Speaker 1: I mean each game is different, but you know they've 700 00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:50,120 Speaker 1: all played out similarly though, like Shannano's exactly what time 701 00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:52,720 Speaker 1: it is? So, Kyle, you can't continue to get dunked 702 00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:54,320 Speaker 1: on in your own division by your boy. This has 703 00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:57,280 Speaker 1: to stop. Styles make fights. The Rams have not been 704 00:32:57,320 --> 00:32:59,400 Speaker 1: able to make the forty nine ers play left hand. 705 00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:01,280 Speaker 1: They haven't been take away of their running game, and 706 00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:04,560 Speaker 1: the Rams haven't been explosive on their side of the ball. 707 00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:07,040 Speaker 1: They're only getting sixteen points a game last five times 708 00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:09,640 Speaker 1: they play who you're gonna be going sixteen times a game? 709 00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:12,160 Speaker 1: But the ability for the forty nine ers to say 710 00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:14,560 Speaker 1: we're going to be more physical than you, that's what 711 00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:16,160 Speaker 1: they've done. If you want to boil it down to 712 00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:17,880 Speaker 1: one thing is it might be your brother, but I'm 713 00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:20,120 Speaker 1: getting ready punch you in your nose. And there's not 714 00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:22,000 Speaker 1: a lot of people in the NFL that like to 715 00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:24,320 Speaker 1: get punched in the nose. The Rams, one of their 716 00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:26,880 Speaker 1: biggest issues is it's an old saying in the NFL 717 00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:29,400 Speaker 1: you have to earn the right to rush the passer. 718 00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:31,640 Speaker 1: That means on first and second down, you've got to 719 00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:35,240 Speaker 1: stop the run, and a lot of the Rams You'll 720 00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:37,560 Speaker 1: see them getting on that soft edge. This is a 721 00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:40,720 Speaker 1: big boy game. Put your big, your nineteen ninety shoulder 722 00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:43,360 Speaker 1: pads on, not the little small one waging, but your 723 00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:45,960 Speaker 1: big boy pads on. That's the only way that you're 724 00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:48,959 Speaker 1: going to stop this winning Street against the forty tough matchup. 725 00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:51,480 Speaker 1: And it's not just McVeagh who's been completely owned by 726 00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:53,560 Speaker 1: the forty nine ers, it is all of those Rams 727 00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:56,400 Speaker 1: players like Jalen Ramsey has been on the field for 728 00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:58,720 Speaker 1: many of those games, and of course Cooper Cup has 729 00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:00,640 Speaker 1: been on the field for all those games. But if 730 00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:04,800 Speaker 1: Aaron Donald is the big bad dog on the block 731 00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:07,320 Speaker 1: that everyone says he is, can you eliminate the forty 732 00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:09,480 Speaker 1: nineers from the playoffs this weekend? Can you be the 733 00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:11,480 Speaker 1: guy and do this? Like it would be great to 734 00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:13,480 Speaker 1: see Aaron Donald have one of these amazing games and 735 00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:16,040 Speaker 1: one of these I am the unquestioned best defensive player 736 00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:18,680 Speaker 1: of football against the team that has absolutely owned this 737 00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:22,920 Speaker 1: Rams defense time after time after time after time. Right now, 738 00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:25,400 Speaker 1: I'm looking at this matchup and I'm like Trent Williams 739 00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:28,480 Speaker 1: the dog. You know that Niner's offensive line, they are good. 740 00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:30,799 Speaker 1: Deebo Samuel's going to run for a bunch of yards, 741 00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:32,840 Speaker 1: no matter who's on the other side. Aaron Donald is 742 00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:34,560 Speaker 1: a lot of pride. He has been on the field 743 00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:36,719 Speaker 1: for every single one of these games, and they have 744 00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:39,520 Speaker 1: been wallopings. You are spot on. It has not just 745 00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:41,600 Speaker 1: been Hey, they got him this way. They beat him 746 00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:43,319 Speaker 1: through the air on a Saturday night a few years ago. 747 00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:45,080 Speaker 1: They beat him on the ground. They beat on Monday 748 00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:47,160 Speaker 1: night thirty one to ten earlier in this season. Aaron 749 00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:49,279 Speaker 1: Donald has not been invisible in these games. But I 750 00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:51,279 Speaker 1: certainly haven't walked away from any of these games saying 751 00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:53,400 Speaker 1: that guy right there is Lawrence Taylor. I've done that 752 00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:55,560 Speaker 1: just but every other time I've seen Aaron Donald. This 753 00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:58,080 Speaker 1: is a challenge to that Rams defense and a challenge 754 00:34:58,120 --> 00:34:59,920 Speaker 1: to the greatest player of his generation at that position, 755 00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:02,760 Speaker 1: maybe the greatest defensive tackle to ever play the sport. 756 00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:05,320 Speaker 1: You've got to go beat that offensive team on the 757 00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:06,719 Speaker 1: other side of you, because you haven't done it in 758 00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:08,640 Speaker 1: three years. You guys throw out that greatness. But I 759 00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:10,680 Speaker 1: played with a guy in Philadelphia named Reggie White, and 760 00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:13,040 Speaker 1: I can't see anyone beating those five times in a 761 00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:15,080 Speaker 1: row with Reggie White on the field. I'm just saying 762 00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:17,920 Speaker 1: we have our next guests here. One of the most 763 00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:20,600 Speaker 1: respective defensive backs in the gaming super Bowl Champion has 764 00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:23,120 Speaker 1: been the NFL for thirteen years, is doing some really 765 00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:25,680 Speaker 1: incredible work off the field. Please welcome to the show. 766 00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:30,279 Speaker 1: Friend of the show, and my favorite mccority, Jason. I 767 00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:32,960 Speaker 1: always love when people say their favorite mccority. It makes 768 00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:35,640 Speaker 1: me feel special. So I appreciate that. Good morning. You 769 00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:38,520 Speaker 1: are flexing on everyone with that South Florida backdrop, or 770 00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:39,920 Speaker 1: I'm not even going to talk about that. I want 771 00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:42,080 Speaker 1: to talk about what you're doing in that community. The 772 00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:45,880 Speaker 1: NFL Inspired Change Initiative joined forces with something called Breakthrough Miami. 773 00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:48,840 Speaker 1: It's an academic and richmond program and encourages students to 774 00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:51,960 Speaker 1: maximize their potential. You said, education is super important and 775 00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:53,960 Speaker 1: paramount to you, so tell us about the work that 776 00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:58,120 Speaker 1: you're doing with them. Miami. Break To was a tremendous organization, 777 00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:01,520 Speaker 1: started with a summer program and ended up moving into 778 00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:04,399 Speaker 1: the school year, having kids come in on Saturdays doing 779 00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:07,040 Speaker 1: great work, and they're finding kids at that ripe age. 780 00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:10,200 Speaker 1: Then they're giving them a rigorous academic platform and also 781 00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:12,640 Speaker 1: challenging them. They're bringing these kids up from middle school 782 00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:15,360 Speaker 1: to high school to college and showing them opportunities that 783 00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:18,280 Speaker 1: they might not see otherwise. And then those same students 784 00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:20,359 Speaker 1: who are making it through the program are coming back. 785 00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:22,719 Speaker 1: The high school kids are teaching the middle school kids. 786 00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:25,480 Speaker 1: The college kids are coming back teaching the high school kids. 787 00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:28,359 Speaker 1: So it's a program that's growing tremendously and they're giving 788 00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:31,000 Speaker 1: back to their selves. So it's their model is just 789 00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:34,359 Speaker 1: really tremendous. They're inspiring kids to become leaders of self, 790 00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:37,239 Speaker 1: the leaders of others, and then leaders in our communities. 791 00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:39,440 Speaker 1: And you're really starting to see change down here in 792 00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:42,240 Speaker 1: South Florida. A lot of that is because of Breakthrough Miami. 793 00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:45,480 Speaker 1: Let's talk about your season there in Miami hasn't gone 794 00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:48,080 Speaker 1: exactly as you hope for it. But as a veteran player, 795 00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:51,520 Speaker 1: let us know as fans, how's the foot going, and 796 00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:54,160 Speaker 1: how's the recovery part of it? Like you said, man, 797 00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:57,120 Speaker 1: whenever you get hurt, you know, and you're not able 798 00:36:57,239 --> 00:36:59,040 Speaker 1: to go out there and be on the field with 799 00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:02,320 Speaker 1: the guys that sul rehabs going, well, it's a slow process, 800 00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:05,200 Speaker 1: especially with a foot Indry, I'm still riding around on 801 00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:07,360 Speaker 1: one of those little scooters with my boot on and 802 00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:09,200 Speaker 1: all of that. But the cool things. I've still been 803 00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:11,160 Speaker 1: able to be in the building while I'm rehabbing, so 804 00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:13,480 Speaker 1: I'm still getting a chance to connect with the guys, 805 00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:15,759 Speaker 1: talk about the game, and do all of those things. 806 00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:17,840 Speaker 1: But I miss being out there the shoulder in that 807 00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:20,719 Speaker 1: video getting the guys ready for the game. You missed 808 00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:23,160 Speaker 1: out on Sundays of not being able to be out 809 00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:25,120 Speaker 1: there and being the thick of it with the guys, Jason. 810 00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:27,600 Speaker 1: Sunday obviously didn't go as planned, and there's already a 811 00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:31,160 Speaker 1: lot of off season chatter around your team. You're there 812 00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:33,400 Speaker 1: with Brian Flores every day. What do you see on 813 00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:35,600 Speaker 1: a day to day basis that the fan base should 814 00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:38,960 Speaker 1: know about when discussing Floris's status and what he is 815 00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:40,839 Speaker 1: as a head coach. Yeah, Man, with Flow, you're going 816 00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:43,040 Speaker 1: to get consistency, and I think you saw that from 817 00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:45,400 Speaker 1: our team. Obviously, we dug ourselves in a hole in 818 00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:47,759 Speaker 1: the first eight games, coming out one and seven, But 819 00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:50,360 Speaker 1: to be able to real off seven wins in a 820 00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:53,640 Speaker 1: row after being in that moment, it's tough and it 821 00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:56,560 Speaker 1: shows not only the character of our head coach and Flow, 822 00:37:56,640 --> 00:37:58,919 Speaker 1: but also the character and our team and the guys 823 00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:01,759 Speaker 1: that show for work every Typically you see a team 824 00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:04,600 Speaker 1: goal one and seven, you're already thinking about the offseason 825 00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:07,319 Speaker 1: in the middle of the season, because guys, you start 826 00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:09,480 Speaker 1: to not really give up, but you start to look 827 00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:11,279 Speaker 1: to the future and you start to say, hey, I 828 00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:13,040 Speaker 1: gotta take care of myself. I gotta go out there 829 00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:15,279 Speaker 1: and make sure I'm performing. I'm doing this. And our 830 00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:18,120 Speaker 1: guys stuck together God still believed in the plan and 831 00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:20,759 Speaker 1: still approach it day in and day out to get 832 00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:23,120 Speaker 1: better each and every day and prepare for our next opponent. 833 00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:25,920 Speaker 1: And that enabled us to at least put ourselves into 834 00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:28,560 Speaker 1: position this past Sunday to have a chance to make 835 00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:31,239 Speaker 1: it into the postseason and to still be competing late 836 00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:34,280 Speaker 1: in the season. Obviously, that game down to Nashville didn't 837 00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:36,600 Speaker 1: go the way we wanted to, but there's still some 838 00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:39,040 Speaker 1: light in the season and we start have an opportunity 839 00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:42,040 Speaker 1: this Sunday to close out the season on a high note. 840 00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:44,160 Speaker 1: Jason I played with one heck of a rookie white 841 00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:47,120 Speaker 1: receiver in Randy Moss. People want to ask me questions 842 00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:49,880 Speaker 1: about him. You've played with a lot of great players. 843 00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:52,840 Speaker 1: Taylor Wattle is one of the best receivers alive this 844 00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:55,239 Speaker 1: year's class. Give me some of the attributes that you 845 00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:58,520 Speaker 1: have seen through him in his rookie season that you 846 00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:01,320 Speaker 1: see success in it, and that could be either on 847 00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:04,640 Speaker 1: the field or off the field. Yeah, his attitude. I mean, 848 00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:07,239 Speaker 1: this guy shows up every day and he wants to 849 00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:09,759 Speaker 1: compete and he wants to win. And obviously he came 850 00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:12,239 Speaker 1: from Alabama where they did a lot of winning there 851 00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:14,520 Speaker 1: and from training camp one. When he got out there, 852 00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:16,960 Speaker 1: when he catches the ball, it's like he hits a 853 00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:20,000 Speaker 1: whole nother gear. And as exciting as an older guy 854 00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:22,080 Speaker 1: to watch a guy do it on the practice field 855 00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:24,400 Speaker 1: and be able to say, hey, man, he's gonna be special. 856 00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:26,440 Speaker 1: But then to see him actually go out there and 857 00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:29,160 Speaker 1: do it weekend and week out and perform for our 858 00:39:29,239 --> 00:39:31,960 Speaker 1: team has been It's been really cool to watch.
