Speaker 1: The Around the NFL Podcast, Get Seem Scuffles with Liz Frank.

2
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:10,879
Speaker 1: Welcome back to another edition of the Around the NFL Podcast.

3
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 1: My name is Dan Hansas, and I am joined by

4
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:17,520
Speaker 1: a room filled with heroes, Mark Sessler, Chris Westling, and

5
00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:22,640
Speaker 1: Greg Rosathal. What's up, boys? Hey? Dan? Whoa? We are

6
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:29,160
Speaker 1: flying Fellas Week fourteen, Sunday action in the books and

7
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 1: a lot to talk about home stretch. So much to

8
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:35,920
Speaker 1: talk about, a lot of good games going into the gig.

9
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 1: Although they didn't talk out to be great, I was

10
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 1: excited about didn't deliver. Maybe you shouldn't have been so

11
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:47,520
Speaker 1: excited for the RAMS. I don't think anyone was excited

12
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:50,639
Speaker 1: for the RAMS. Makes a good point before we, uh

13
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:52,600
Speaker 1: we started today. I haven't done this in a while.

14
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 1: I thought you guys would because I always value your

15
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 1: input and feedback, because you're always honest and you have

16
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 1: great ear for things. I've come up with some new

17
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 1: NFL slogans as we moved towards two thousand seven. All right, Greg,

18
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 1: you pay attention, Okay, the NFL. You worry about ratings.

19
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:14,400
Speaker 1: I'll just enjoy the bone crunching hits. I love that

20
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,400
Speaker 1: it's a good start, like that's off message, is a

21
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:20,399
Speaker 1: problematic in terms of the of the game. Yeah that

22
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 1: I feel like the same people who took away our

23
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 1: music might take away that slogan. Okay, let me stay

24
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 1: away from that one, alright. The NFL National Football League

25
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:34,119
Speaker 1: or is it no way fun excitement like it? I do?

26
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 1: It's a bit much verbally, did you pick up? Yeah,

27
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 1: there was the acronym in very stretched out acrona with

28
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 1: multiple words. But have to fit that onto a commercial,

29
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? You know, when you're just

30
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:54,639
Speaker 1: thinking of writing it out, it's a lot of words. Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay,

31
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 1: last one, I'm over too, but you know, not giving

32
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 1: up yet. NFL action way better than your kids, But

33
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 1: you don't need to tell them that it that's hey,

34
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 1: you said, well we're thinking, Hey, all right, maybe I'll

35
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,080
Speaker 1: go back to the drawing board. No, I think you

36
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 1: nouted on that last the third one. I wouldn't. I

37
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 1: wouldn't assume that you did. I would. I would go

38
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 1: back to the drawing board and come up with more.

39
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 1: Maybe that one of those, you know, sneak through as well.

40
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 1: All right, the listeners, let me know if if any

41
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:30,360
Speaker 1: of those seem like hardcore winners, a lot of games

42
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 1: to get to. UM. Of course, this Sunday night football

43
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 1: game between the Giants and Cowboys is where we'll close things.

44
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 1: But uh, with every team playing this weekend, we have

45
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: four team games to talk about today, and I believe

46
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 1: the best thing to do, guys is to get right

47
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 1: to get right to business. And where better to start

48
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 1: than lambeau Field. Roger Shotgun with a step back to

49
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 1: his right, snapped day rod dancing to the right, looking

50
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:05,799
Speaker 1: who loves it right sidelines? Said he's God for the

51
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 1: touch stop sixty seven yards. Oh what a way to start.

52
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 1: Dwayne Larvey w T m J. Here come the Packers.

53
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers fought through more leg issues and another excellent

54
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:22,800
Speaker 1: performance and Russell Wilson through a career worst five interceptions

55
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 1: and the Packers ten win over the Seahawks. Uh the West.

56
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 1: The Packers have won three straight and are once again

57
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,679
Speaker 1: looking like a power player in the NFC. But what

58
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 1: what about the Seahawks? Is this what life without Earl

59
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 1: Thomas is gonna be? Like my own? I wouldn't jump

60
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 1: to that conclusion. This was a comprehensive dismantling of the

61
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 1: Seahawks by the Packers. That's not to say on a

62
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 1: neutral field on a different day, it would have wound

63
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 1: up the same way. The bounces literally went the Packers

64
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 1: way in this game. A lot of interceptions bounced either

65
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 1: out of receiver's hands or off defensive backs uh shoulder pads.

66
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 1: It was. It was a game where the luck went

67
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 1: on the Packers side. But they also played really well.

68
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: And I think about the Packers now as the two

69
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 1: thousand fourteen Packers two eleven Packers, not the October and

70
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 1: November Packers. And to Mark's credit, he's been on this

71
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 1: for about eight days now, just assuming the Packers will

72
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 1: be in the playoffs? Is that a backhanded complement? Genuine there?

73
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 1: I mean, Mark is a visionary. He is he is.

74
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 1: He gave up on routed against the Packers for a

75
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:30,600
Speaker 1: reason he knows they will be playing in January. I

76
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 1: mean mine, but mine came probably less from you know,

77
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 1: all twenty two coaches film, and more from just a

78
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:42,040
Speaker 1: resign sense that my mid season campaign to get them

79
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 1: out of the postseason. To think I was ahead of

80
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 1: that was faulty and could not have been more off base.

81
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 1: They're gonna do what they always do. They're gonna go

82
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 1: play in January. Green Bay fans, you had about two

83
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 1: weeks there to have a tough time as a fan.

84
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 1: Six weeks, well me, I was a little bit rough.

85
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 1: You know, you went through a real time of you know,

86
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 1: it probably felt out changed your character and boldened you.

87
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:05,480
Speaker 1: But now you're back where you belong as the most

88
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 1: fun fan base, having more fun than anyone else would

89
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 1: possibly Could you really you really hold it against the

90
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 1: fans that they've had had two good of it only

91
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 1: in marks world? Is it a bad thing to have

92
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 1: fun as a football No? I just want to have

93
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 1: it too. How about how about this Seahawks team being

94
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,480
Speaker 1: so bad consistently on the road. I mean, you can't

95
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 1: say year to year that they're like this necessarily, but

96
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 1: they lost to the Rams on the road. They lost

97
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 1: to the Bucks on the road, they lost to the

98
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 1: Saints on the road. They're not even competitive in this game.

99
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:37,840
Speaker 1: I know they beat the Patriots, but this is a

100
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 1: team now with four losses in a tie. Obviously we

101
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:43,720
Speaker 1: know to win the NFC they're almost certainly gonna have

102
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 1: to go on the road, and and they now have

103
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 1: some work to do to get that by in the NFC, well,

104
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 1: I think people have said for a long time that

105
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 1: bad offensive lines don't travel, and that's probably the biggest

106
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,480
Speaker 1: weakness on this team. So that's one factor. And the

107
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 1: defense today, I'm not ready to say just because Earl

108
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 1: Thomas wasn't there, this is what we should expect. Aaron

109
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:03,839
Speaker 1: Rodgers was to the point he was in the zone,

110
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 1: to the point where he was doing heat checks. He

111
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,279
Speaker 1: was that hot early on. And I think Jordy Nelson

112
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 1: and Davante Adams are playing as well as any tandem

113
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:12,479
Speaker 1: of white outs in the league right now. I don't

114
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 1: know how does any defense come in and stop what

115
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 1: I saw of this game where Aaron Rodgers was absolutely

116
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: and I think it's you put an interesting nugget in

117
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,040
Speaker 1: your in your right up about Troy Aikman, who sits

118
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,600
Speaker 1: with the team's late week, said that he had and

119
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 1: he saw an energy coming from this group that he's

120
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 1: not seen all season or in a long time. You

121
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:31,160
Speaker 1: can see that on the field. The defense, which was

122
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,840
Speaker 1: getting crushed is in the last three games today gave

123
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 1: up what ten points, has given up thirteen thirteen and

124
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:41,839
Speaker 1: ten points. The turnaround. They pressured Wilson throughout UH six

125
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:45,919
Speaker 1: turnovers by the Seahawks. Nine quarterback hits by the Packers defense,

126
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 1: seven passes defense in three sacks. This is not the

127
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:52,720
Speaker 1: Packers defense you were seeing in November. Well. And and

128
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 1: one thing that's been consistent from week one with the Packers,

129
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 1: they have among if not the best pass protection in

130
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 1: the league. It is right there. And when you can

131
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,719
Speaker 1: do that against this group, you know, look, Earl Thomas

132
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 1: isn't playing on the defensive line when you can do

133
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 1: that against the Seahawks. And and you know, looking by

134
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 1: the box score in terms of QB hits, three QB

135
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 1: hits all day he had time. I mean, you're getting

136
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 1: something done. You're gonna have a chance. I have one

137
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 1: concern here if I'm a Green Bay fan who is

138
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 1: feeling very good right now, Aaron Rodgers body is a

139
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 1: little beat up right now. And he had the hamstring

140
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 1: issue and now he has a calf issue, I believe

141
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 1: on the other leg. And if you remember a calf

142
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 1: ishue really blew up a season of his couple of

143
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 1: years ago. And this is just something to track now

144
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 1: as we had into the final games regular season. He

145
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 1: if he's limited, that is a major piece of this.

146
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 1: The first you can say, forty five minutes of this game,

147
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 1: we're so reminiscent of that NFC Championship game in two

148
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 1: thousand and fourteen, from Russell Wilson's interceptions to Rogers calf

149
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 1: injury which he was playing through in that game. And

150
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to keep winning. I mean, at seven

151
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 1: and six, they still have a lot of work left

152
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 1: to do to get into the playoffs. They might have

153
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 1: to win those lasts. Not saying they camp that they might.

154
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 1: That's my at this point. I'll be surprised if they

155
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 1: lose another regular season game. So the NFC North is

156
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 1: really heating up now. The Lions. Could they keep up

157
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 1: and stay ahead of the Packers. Well, let's talk about that.

158
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 1: Stafford's got it. Fact looks looks backing up, looking for

159
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,679
Speaker 1: somewhere to go. Stafford's gonna tuck it and run. Stafford

160
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 1: at the five three two touchdown Detroit Lions, Matthew tucking

161
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:32,839
Speaker 1: old right one top quarterback. Gotta be Matthew, Do not

162
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,839
Speaker 1: call him matt Dan Miller w j R. With a

163
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 1: nice call. There they did it again. Matthew Stafford bounced

164
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 1: back from a disastrous pick six to lead the Lines

165
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 1: to another comeback victory, this time a win over the

166
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 1: Chicago Bears to keep Detroit in the NFC North driver's seat.

167
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 1: Now at nine and four. Whoa and uh the lines

168
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:56,559
Speaker 1: are nine and four and they won again, and they're

169
00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 1: in first place halfway through December. So maybe it's time

170
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 1: to had a get a friend on the phone, you know,

171
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 1: find a friend. Been a long time? Uh? Is that

172
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 1: what they call it? Who wants to be a millionaire?

173
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:15,199
Speaker 1: Bone a friend? He is our current reference. You are goodbye,

174
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 1: A different show, good one though I liked it. Our

175
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 1: Chicago corresponded, but of course a big Motown fan. He

176
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:25,719
Speaker 1: is Kevin Patrick. I'm at you, what's up buddy on

177
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 1: Fellas getting me punked with that Dan Miller call right there? Yeah, yeah,

178
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 1: Den Miller's a good a good play by play guy.

179
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 1: I remember when I did the pain rankings, I interviewed

180
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 1: him because he had the famous call Patra after the

181
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 1: oh and sixteen season, which I'll spare you his his

182
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:43,839
Speaker 1: famous line at the end of the season. But it

183
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 1: shows you how far we've come now since two thousand

184
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:48,560
Speaker 1: and eight. The Lions are in a really good position.

185
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:50,559
Speaker 1: What did you see in this game? Because I watched

186
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 1: this game fairly closely, and this was not their best effort,

187
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 1: but once again they found a way, and that's that's

188
00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:59,080
Speaker 1: what we've been all year. I mean again, they trailed

189
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 1: to the twelfth time in thirteen games in the fourth

190
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 1: quarter after Matthew Stafforde pick six which was just just

191
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 1: not a good throw. He didn't have his best game today.

192
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,080
Speaker 1: He got hurt early reports. Are you know that he's

193
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:14,679
Speaker 1: got a dislocated middle finger tendon? Heard in there that

194
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:16,719
Speaker 1: you didn't play well? He's These lines have done this

195
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 1: several times. They barely beat the Jags. We've got against

196
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 1: the Vikings twice. Um, you know, but you sometimes you

197
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:25,319
Speaker 1: played on your competition. But good teams keep winning and

198
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 1: that's what you need to do to get in the playoffs. Yeah,

199
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 1: I think that's fair. And I thought that the Bears

200
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 1: have showed a little pluck here with Matt Barkley, so

201
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 1: I don't think it was necessarily You know, the Lions

202
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:38,079
Speaker 1: had a terrible day. I thought Chicago played well. But

203
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:40,319
Speaker 1: at the same time, Wes, I know you're not a

204
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 1: big fan of this Lions team, uh, but there has

205
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:44,839
Speaker 1: to be something to be said about their ability to

206
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,200
Speaker 1: continue to win games and all of a sudden, now

207
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:49,199
Speaker 1: they're nine and four. They could they could get to

208
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 1: that eleven win mark and possibly even get to buy

209
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:54,199
Speaker 1: anything's possible here. They could get to the eleven and

210
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:57,199
Speaker 1: win win mark, and they could stay at nine. They

211
00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:01,680
Speaker 1: have the Legitimacy Bowl next week at the Giants, which

212
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 1: which one of these teams is legitimate, and then they

213
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:07,439
Speaker 1: play the Cowboys and Packers, and the Packers and the

214
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 1: Packers and Cowboys might be the two best teams in

215
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 1: the NFC right now. So I think saying that the

216
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 1: Lions are gonna win eleven games, I mean, I'm gonna

217
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:15,720
Speaker 1: need to believe it. I would like to ask Kevin,

218
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 1: how do you rate this lines team? Do you think

219
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 1: they're legitimately a legitimate playoff team? I think with the

220
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 1: mediocrity that's throughout the NFL, yeah, they're they're lower level

221
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 1: playoff team. I mean, I said, come into the season there,

222
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 1: they're an eight and eight team that could be two

223
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 1: could win ten games, good win six games, and that's

224
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 1: who they are. They squeaked out a few games here

225
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 1: and there. They lost a couple of in the years

226
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 1: that they should have won. So that's where that's where

227
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 1: you're back at You're a nine and four with a

228
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 1: nate talent overall death, I thought Terrell Augstin has had

229
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:49,679
Speaker 1: a great last few games. They've been used a lot more,

230
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,960
Speaker 1: a lot more schemes with three safeties, such and such.

231
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:55,840
Speaker 1: So I think that the talent getting John dred Levy

232
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 1: back this week. He didn't play a ton early, but

233
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:00,959
Speaker 1: you can see the difference in his tackling at the

234
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage and the run defense. I think that's

235
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 1: gonna be big against the Cowboys and the Packers to

236
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:08,599
Speaker 1: close out the season. I mean, okay, that's that's the

237
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 1: analysis side of whether or not we view them to

238
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:14,559
Speaker 1: be a legitimate playoff team. Kevin, we've known you for

239
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:18,080
Speaker 1: about half a decade now. You're one of the iciest,

240
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 1: most cynical fans out there, and I think that's because

241
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:23,840
Speaker 1: you're realistic and you've been through utter hell. You've got

242
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:27,200
Speaker 1: to be enjoying this. You've got one loss since October two.

243
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:30,439
Speaker 1: How does it feel for you? Does this team just

244
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:33,320
Speaker 1: get taken right off that pain rankings after this? Kevin?

245
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:35,839
Speaker 1: Before you answer that question, just know that that is

246
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 1: one of the highest complimence market give anyone to call

247
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 1: you an icy cynical fan. You are, I am, I am.

248
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 1: I'm purely aware of Mark's compliments, and I think it

249
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 1: has coppment. Frankly, I don't think. I didn't think it

250
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 1: as a shot at all, just because I don't think

251
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 1: West is wrong if your analysis of the upcoming schedule,

252
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 1: I mean, as a lines fan, I've been waiting for

253
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:57,679
Speaker 1: this for to fall off the cliff for the last

254
00:12:57,760 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 1: three weeks. To be honest with you, That's why I

255
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 1: thought the Saints win was so impressive and so huge

256
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 1: because if they lost that because I think this guy

257
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 1: would have fallen. Um. But the ways of Packers are playing,

258
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 1: having to go on the road, Matthew Stafford is a

259
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 1: different quarterback outside than he is in a dome. They

260
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,079
Speaker 1: haven't played outside since the Week four loss against Chicago,

261
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:18,079
Speaker 1: which is kind of ridiculous to think about. So I

262
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 1: think that team is huge, especially with his finger. We

263
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 1: don't know how much it's gonna affect. That's that big,

264
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 1: but that's big cold. How how do you you don't

265
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 1: know how it's gonna react after after after a week,

266
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 1: maybe rehab helps, maybe it stiffens up and he can't

267
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:32,080
Speaker 1: throw in the cold you know, they don't want any

268
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 1: of that, They don't want to talk about it in Oakland.

269
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,719
Speaker 1: But I I really do think that the finger for

270
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 1: Derek Carr played a big role in his struggles on

271
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,720
Speaker 1: Thursday night. And now you have a middle finger injuries,

272
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 1: throwing with a glove whenever. You never want your quarterback

273
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:46,319
Speaker 1: in those situations where he's putting the glove on and

274
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 1: they're talking about it on the sidelines and all that stuff.

275
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:51,960
Speaker 1: So that is something big to watch. But Kevin, before

276
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 1: we say goodbye, just I know you're a cynical man,

277
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 1: but you were in Chicago when the Cubs ended ended

278
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:01,960
Speaker 1: the end of their long drought. How about a little

279
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 1: magic run in Motown this year? Playoff wins. They've been

280
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:08,439
Speaker 1: showing it that they could take take take victory from

281
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:10,719
Speaker 1: the jaws of defeat. How about a little magic run

282
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:12,839
Speaker 1: this season? How about that? How about the positive look

283
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 1: at it? You know, I was in l A when

284
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 1: the King's ended their drought, not as long I would.

285
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 1: I'm here for the Cup. Maybe I should move home

286
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 1: back home to the end to the Lions can then

287
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 1: end their historic draft. How about just ending the not

288
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 1: having a home playoff game drought? It's been since before

289
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 1: that fans could even go to a playoff game. Let's

290
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 1: just do that. You gotta win probably one more game.

291
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 1: I think that Giants Game two three, and you're gonna

292
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 1: be the division winner most likely, but we shall see. Uh.

293
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 1: Kevin Patrick, how's your body by the way about he's

294
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 1: doing great? Yeah right now. It's the winter, so you're

295
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 1: it's more bulk right, Yep, yep, pull up, gotta do them.

296
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 1: Send me some private Jason Chickens climbing stairs. Matt Barkley,

297
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 1: by the way, has made some money, yes he had.

298
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 1: He has made a career. He's gonna be in the money.

299
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 1: But he's a lot of money. He's gonna be in

300
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 1: the eight ten more years. I'll probably get seven or

301
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 1: eight million next. It's great to be a backup quarterback.

302
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 1: You go out late season and in a loss, you

303
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 1: perform just a little bit above average for a couple

304
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 1: of weeks in a row, and you've extended your career

305
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 1: probably half a decade. He's better than a lot of backups,

306
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 1: to be fair. He got hose on the last drive.

307
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 1: He had been field goal range two separate, really nice

308
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 1: throws across the middle and got two holding calls that

309
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 1: just ripped the drive drops enough. I mean this Bears team,

310
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 1: I can't I can't watch him all right, Kevin, Uh,

311
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 1: we'll catch up with you later, buddy. Appreciate you guys.

312
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,720
Speaker 1: Let's move on and check in in the a f

313
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 1: C and the defending Super Bowl champions. Simeon dropping, looking, popping, throwing,

314
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 1: got it complete to Derby is tight end, he lost

315
00:15:53,440 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 1: the bad the bass trips Titan. Derby made the Cats.

316
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 1: Williamson raked it out and the Titans have come up

317
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 1: with the recovery. Avery. That was Mike Keith of w

318
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 1: g f X. Avery Williamson sealed the game and the

319
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 1: Titans are tied for first place in the a f

320
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 1: C South after a thirteen ten win over the Denver Broncos.

321
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 1: Chris Westling, We'll get to the Titans in just a

322
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 1: little bit, but let's start with the defending champs. Do

323
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 1: you think they're in serious stage or missing the playoffs

324
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 1: right now? WHOA? I don't. I think even their fans

325
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 1: would admit they're in serious danger of missing the playoffs.

326
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 1: They have a tough schedule remaining. This was a game

327
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 1: they had to win, and they have problems in the

328
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 1: run game on both sides of the ball. If they

329
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 1: missed the playoffs, they're gonna look back at the season

330
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 1: and they're gonna look forward to next season saying, how

331
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 1: do we fix our offensive line and rushing attack on offense,

332
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 1: and how do we plug our holes on defense? In

333
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 1: the running right, you look at the box score and

334
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 1: Marcus Mariotta completed six passes of twenty for eighty eight yards,

335
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 1: and you manage to lose? Was the game? I explained

336
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 1: it to me. I haven't. I didn't didn't see the game.

337
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:07,400
Speaker 1: This wasn't a game for Let's see the first three

338
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:09,880
Speaker 1: and a half quarters, at least almost well the first

339
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 1: three quarters. The fake punt from Riley Dixon was the

340
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:16,159
Speaker 1: one thing that got the Broncos jump started. It happened

341
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:18,639
Speaker 1: with four minutes to go in the third quarter, and

342
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:21,680
Speaker 1: then Simeon hit to Marius Thomas and the two of

343
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 1: them connected for you know, the final twenty minutes of

344
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 1: the game. But the Titans ran all over the Broncos early,

345
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:31,440
Speaker 1: uh and really should have jumped out to a twenty

346
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:35,400
Speaker 1: point lead, but to Delaney Walker, red zone penalties cost

347
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 1: them seven points and Chris Harris got away with a

348
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:40,399
Speaker 1: couple of past interferences in the end zone, but this

349
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 1: was all Titans in the first half. I mean, from

350
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 1: what I saw, this exactly what you said. It was

351
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 1: not a close game on any level. And I feel

352
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:50,919
Speaker 1: like it's every single week we're looking at Denver's rushing

353
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:54,400
Speaker 1: output and today two yards per carry and you've got

354
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:57,640
Speaker 1: fifty one attempts from Trevor Simeon. This is the exact

355
00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:00,680
Speaker 1: opposite of what Gary Kubiak would want to do with

356
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:02,640
Speaker 1: the first year starter. You want to pound the ball

357
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 1: with the run, control the game with your defense, and

358
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:08,160
Speaker 1: have Simeon doing less. And it's game after game where

359
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:09,920
Speaker 1: they're not able to run their offense the way they should.

360
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 1: Simeon is one of their best offensive players. I like Simeon,

361
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 1: but I mean, you can't get through the playoffs running

362
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:18,639
Speaker 1: the ball for twenty yards thirty yards a gain. But

363
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 1: they are they are putting too much. They're asking him

364
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 1: to do too much and to save the season, and

365
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:24,639
Speaker 1: that's not fair to the guy. When you're rushing for

366
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 1: eighteen yards in the game, nine carries, I mean, that's

367
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:29,719
Speaker 1: ridiculous the numbers. And then your defense on the other end,

368
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 1: if you're not if you're not going to run the ball,

369
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:32,960
Speaker 1: you better be as good as you were last year

370
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:34,159
Speaker 1: and you give up a hundred and eight yards on

371
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 1: the ground, hundred sixty seven yards I think by thirty

372
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 1: two minutes into the game, by two minutes into the

373
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 1: second half, they had given up a hundred sixty seven

374
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 1: yards on the ground. And this five times they've allowed

375
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:45,879
Speaker 1: a hundred forty or more yards on the ground. That

376
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 1: only happened once last year and it was in mid September.

377
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 1: They got better throughout this season, whereas this team, I

378
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 1: think the run defense has gotten worse throughout. What do

379
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 1: you think is a Titan? They scored thirteen points. It

380
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 1: needs to be pointed out whether they had some bad

381
00:18:57,880 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 1: breaks or not. If you can hold the team to

382
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:05,240
Speaker 1: thirteen points on eleven drive, any flow the game dominant

383
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:08,720
Speaker 1: the Broncos defense credit in this game. The Titans blew

384
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 1: too many opportunities and then like Mike mclarkey has want

385
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:14,920
Speaker 1: to do, pulled his foot off the gas pedal. I

386
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:18,679
Speaker 1: am not giving the Broncos credit for this For thirteen points, okay,

387
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 1: I mean four point four yards per attempt. I'll watch it.

388
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:22,960
Speaker 1: I'm just saying they gave their team a chance to

389
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:25,360
Speaker 1: win towards the end. They got the ball back right

390
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:28,080
Speaker 1: at the end and Denny Fallard dropped the go ahead

391
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:30,400
Speaker 1: touched him and the Titans have given up late leads.

392
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 1: The Broncos have come back, Like, if he catches that

393
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:35,720
Speaker 1: go ahead touchdown, then we're singing a whole different story.

394
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,159
Speaker 1: What do you think is at the core of a

395
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:42,360
Speaker 1: run defense that's come apart here? Well, you the defensive

396
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:45,359
Speaker 1: line isn't very good. I think last year Malik Jackson

397
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 1: was a very good player. Derek Wolf is a good player.

398
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:52,880
Speaker 1: But now you've got Jared Krick Sylvester Williams are your

399
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 1: two best lineman maybe, and that's not very good. It's

400
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 1: crazy that they signed for set this week and he

401
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 1: comes in and is they're leading rush sure with seventeen

402
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:02,960
Speaker 1: Except it's not crazy. I mean, for all of us

403
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 1: that have watched the Broncos, DeVante Booker is not a

404
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 1: lead back at this point. He's at best a complimentary piece.

405
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:12,680
Speaker 1: It's not getting done a thirteen ten final. If somebody

406
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:14,399
Speaker 1: would have told me that you were asking Trevor Simmons,

407
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 1: you throw it fifty one times in a thirteen ten game,

408
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 1: they're all out of whack right now, and if they

409
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:21,960
Speaker 1: don't figure it out very soon, the season is going

410
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 1: to slip away. Miss Stanny Trevathan too. Yes, and here's

411
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:29,360
Speaker 1: what's especially telling about that backfield. Justin for Sett took

412
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 1: over on passing down in his first game, and he's

413
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 1: been the least effective receiver out of the backfield of

414
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 1: any running back over the past car And I'm glad

415
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 1: Tennessee won this game. By the way, they got tough

416
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:41,880
Speaker 1: schedule coming up, but they now have a nice little

417
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:44,160
Speaker 1: path to win this ANFC South and make the playoffs

418
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:47,400
Speaker 1: more interested. And go Titans. Let's check out some other

419
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:49,879
Speaker 1: action in the a f C South. Here we go.

420
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 1: The Colts have to get a yard here to keep

421
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:54,960
Speaker 1: this game going. Walk out of the gun. He's gonna

422
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 1: throw it dropping now, moving to his right, drawing and

423
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:00,720
Speaker 1: his incomplete At the last I could he just tried

424
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 1: to flip it underneath to Robert Robert Turban And now

425
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 1: the Texians can go down to a knee and win

426
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 1: this game on the road. Come back to us called

427
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:14,640
Speaker 1: Brandon god in Westwood one Sports. The Texans aren't dead yet.

428
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 1: Houston rolled up a hundred and eighty five yards on

429
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:19,480
Speaker 1: the ground and got the big stop in the final

430
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:23,160
Speaker 1: minutes uh to preserve a twenty two to seventeen road

431
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:26,639
Speaker 1: win over the Colts, who looked like a very different

432
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:28,920
Speaker 1: team on Monday night against the Jets. Greg It was

433
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:32,920
Speaker 1: another underwhelming performance by Brock Osweiler, but the Texans survived

434
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 1: in a big spot. They somehow have this formula and

435
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 1: it might actually get them to the playoffs that that

436
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:44,280
Speaker 1: they can make enough defensive plays and Lamar Miller can

437
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 1: have a big day and the entire running game can

438
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 1: win to win this lousy division. I mean, Brandon McKinney

439
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 1: breaks up that screen pass at the end. He's played

440
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:57,960
Speaker 1: well year. Jadavian Clowney had another big time game, forced fumble, sack,

441
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 1: fumble in the red zone, had another big play on

442
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:04,920
Speaker 1: one of Andrew Luck's interceptions, you know, caused a penalty.

443
00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 1: That's all great, Whitney Merciless is great, but these are

444
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:10,359
Speaker 1: two bad teams. I watched this game and I just

445
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:12,680
Speaker 1: thought neither of these teams deserved to be in the playoffs.

446
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:15,240
Speaker 1: I don't think either one of them really played great

447
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 1: on Sunday, and it was just a really disappointing sloppy

448
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 1: effort from the Courts. So is this I feel like

449
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:23,119
Speaker 1: the the a f C South and a lot of

450
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:25,119
Speaker 1: teams are just a week to week proposition for the

451
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:29,119
Speaker 1: most part. But is this a tremendous indictment of a

452
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 1: Jets team that potentially just did not try on Monday

453
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:35,440
Speaker 1: Night football? I'm asking because coming out of Monday Night Football,

454
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:38,280
Speaker 1: the Colts to me looked like a team that wanted

455
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:41,120
Speaker 1: to win this division, that it discovered itself. We talked

456
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:43,399
Speaker 1: about him on Tuesday as a team coming into its

457
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 1: own six days later. You get this right, the every

458
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 1: all these teams in the a f C South, I

459
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:53,160
Speaker 1: include the Titans, They're They're a bad six and seven team.

460
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 1: The Texans are bad seven six. They deserve credit. But

461
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 1: the problems that the Colts have had throughout the year

462
00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:00,159
Speaker 1: in terms of their offensive line, Andrew luck I hit

463
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 1: thirteen times. In terms of their lack of wide receiver depth,

464
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 1: Dante Moncrief went out with an injury. He's been hurt

465
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:09,439
Speaker 1: a lot this year. Dorset comes in, gets targeted eight times,

466
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:12,640
Speaker 1: they get nineteen yards on those eight he had his ball,

467
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:14,680
Speaker 1: has had his ball, you know, hands on the ball,

468
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 1: and three of those. You could call him drops, you

469
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:19,680
Speaker 1: could call him, you know, tough catches whatever. And Andrew

470
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:21,440
Speaker 1: Luck didn't play a good game, you know, he said

471
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:24,200
Speaker 1: he was disappointed himself. Only one of the three turnovers

472
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:26,959
Speaker 1: were on him, but he misspasses anyways, Dorsett has been

473
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 1: a debilitating draft pick for the franchise that needed offensive

474
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 1: lineman and pass rushers went with a wide receiver and

475
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:35,680
Speaker 1: he just doesn't make place and you just see penalties

476
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:39,479
Speaker 1: and you see situations like on Clowney's sack fumble. Uh,

477
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 1: they had Dwayne Allen, you know, just blocking him one

478
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:44,080
Speaker 1: on one and the Aspagano and he's just like that

479
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:46,399
Speaker 1: was the protection scheme for that play. And it's just

480
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:49,720
Speaker 1: stuff like that that happens where it's not a clean team,

481
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 1: not good coaching. This Texans team really depresses me. And

482
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:57,280
Speaker 1: I think it's fitting that West of Us started because

483
00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 1: it was the week every year with the Texans hand

484
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 1: the Bengals. They're playoff the feet, so I think it's

485
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:03,880
Speaker 1: only fitting that they could be a surrogate for the Bengals.

486
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:06,720
Speaker 1: Oh they are. Now the Titans are playing them in

487
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:10,359
Speaker 1: Week seventeen, and now the Colts are in really deep trouble.

488
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 1: They they're just about out of it. And if the

489
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:16,120
Speaker 1: Titans can just take care of business against Houston, get

490
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:18,960
Speaker 1: the Titans, all right, But you are you're you're a glow.

491
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 1: How excited are you about this division in general? I mean,

492
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,760
Speaker 1: it's it's just I like the Titans want a better

493
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:28,959
Speaker 1: I just want a better playoff game, is all Brocko Swidler,

494
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:31,240
Speaker 1: by the way, it's it's what's worth doing. Terrible game,

495
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:33,399
Speaker 1: but he did make two or three throws on a

496
00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 1: key fourth down drive that essentially helps salt this game away.

497
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 1: His best two or three throws of the day, if

498
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 1: you only. He also had the ultimate uh uh play

499
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:49,120
Speaker 1: where where that sound drop was fitting, where he puts

500
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:52,040
Speaker 1: his head over his hands after an interception just because

501
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:57,959
Speaker 1: he's just good. All pro quarterbacks don't make that hand gesture. Uh.

502
00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:00,640
Speaker 1: Let's there is one more team in the ANC South,

503
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:03,440
Speaker 1: and they took on the team of a t L

504
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 1: Bradford's under center play action, Sam rolls out to the

505
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:10,359
Speaker 1: right looking for Allison No. He throws the Rudolph touchdown

506
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:16,120
Speaker 1: Prodford to Kyle Rudolph and the Vikings are taking lead.

507
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 1: And for Kyle Rudolph that is his twenty eight touchdown

508
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:24,880
Speaker 1: as a Viking. How exciting, uh that is? Paul Allen

509
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:26,960
Speaker 1: of k f A and the The Team of A

510
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:29,199
Speaker 1: t L showed a pulse on Sunday, rolling up over

511
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 1: four under yards of total offense win over um the

512
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:43,360
Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguars. WHOA this one? I locked it up? Alright?

513
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 1: The one man still supporting the team of Lollipop WOA.

514
00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:50,680
Speaker 1: For those listening on the podcast, Dan just handed me

515
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:53,440
Speaker 1: a lollipot lollipop right there, said to us by the

516
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:57,359
Speaker 1: listeners who have been shipping hundreds of lollipops. They got

517
00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:00,119
Speaker 1: a lollipop. So you got a lollipop. You know, take

518
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:01,920
Speaker 1: to win, you getting needed to win. You need to

519
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:04,120
Speaker 1: stay in the mix. You got you got the game done.

520
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:05,879
Speaker 1: You got it done. But you know you don't get

521
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 1: excited about this. People say, well, you know you don't.

522
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:10,800
Speaker 1: You don't get a lollipop for beating the Jaguars. Everyone

523
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:13,600
Speaker 1: beats the Jagguars. You know, Well that's true. Well that

524
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:16,160
Speaker 1: is seven straight losses for the Jaguars. Well that's fair.

525
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:19,359
Speaker 1: They're the Vikings offense had their best day of this season.

526
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:24,240
Speaker 1: So you're if you really after that early start, absolutely

527
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:27,240
Speaker 1: most yards all season. Their play inside the three yard

528
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:29,200
Speaker 1: line was embarrassing the fact that I could say this

529
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:31,399
Speaker 1: was their best offensive day of this season. It was

530
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:33,560
Speaker 1: the most yards they had. They basically went up and

531
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 1: down the field on Jacksonville. They had three plays over

532
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 1: forty yards. If you just watched this game, you wouldn't

533
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 1: think that this is an inbalanced team. You would have thought,

534
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:43,240
Speaker 1: you know what, the defense gave up some drives there

535
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 1: to blake borders. Look, I'm not giving up on this team.

536
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 1: I tried to get the group excited the no on

537
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 1: even what we've learned so far as broadcast is that

538
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:57,200
Speaker 1: you couldn't be more the patron saint of seven and

539
00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:00,200
Speaker 1: six teams have nowhere. That's fine, and you're it's a

540
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 1: nice win. If they had ever lost this game, what

541
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:05,119
Speaker 1: would we be saying about Minnesota. You gotta go in

542
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:07,360
Speaker 1: and take care of this. What's shameful is getting excited

543
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:10,640
Speaker 1: about any Jaguars game, whether you win or lose. Well,

544
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:12,880
Speaker 1: what's shapeful is locking up a game involving a two

545
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:16,480
Speaker 1: and eleven team. But it's a whole another discussion. You know,

546
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:19,800
Speaker 1: we were we were doing huzzas over when we swept

547
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 1: four games with half of those teams were like favorite,

548
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:27,240
Speaker 1: nice job, new Money, I love it, New Bunny. All

549
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:29,080
Speaker 1: I'm saying is you saw some nice things out of

550
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 1: the offense, the defense without Harrison Smith. That's a big,

551
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:34,159
Speaker 1: big time. Let me ask you a question. You got

552
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:37,159
Speaker 1: the Cults, which, okay, the Colts flat out had the

553
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:39,879
Speaker 1: potential to stink. But then you play the Packers and

554
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:43,199
Speaker 1: the Bears. If you're the Vikings playoff team, I think

555
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 1: they can get to nine wins. Before today, I thought

556
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 1: that would have had a better chance to make the

557
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:49,880
Speaker 1: playoffs than I do now. Even if they win two

558
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:52,399
Speaker 1: of those three, I don't think nine wins is going

559
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:55,480
Speaker 1: to get you in here. They're gonna horrifically blow another

560
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:58,440
Speaker 1: game one more that they have no business losing, that

561
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:02,119
Speaker 1: they find a way to lose through add special that

562
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 1: should have happened today they had. They had two different

563
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 1: times that they were inside the three yard line that

564
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:10,359
Speaker 1: they didn't score a point, two different times. Because the

565
00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:13,160
Speaker 1: running game is so bad, Let's talk about the best

566
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:16,280
Speaker 1: player in the NFL. In Week fourteen, third and two

567
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:19,320
Speaker 1: with the three better the shotgun Bill show, butch and

568
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:21,960
Speaker 1: he handsled off and here's Bell down to the gold line.

569
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 1: Did he get in Toutstown pets Burg play for life

570
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:31,040
Speaker 1: on here's fourth rushing touchdown and their Steelers punching in.

571
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:33,920
Speaker 1: He would have two more in this game. That is

572
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:37,680
Speaker 1: Bill hill Grove of w d V. My goodness, Levy

573
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:40,600
Speaker 1: on Bell was a monster on Sunday, collecting two d

574
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 1: and nine total yards from scrimmage and on forty two touches,

575
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:48,160
Speaker 1: literally carrying the Steelers to seven to twenty win over

576
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:54,520
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. That new aras whoa to the saysler, Mark,

577
00:28:55,040 --> 00:29:01,239
Speaker 1: there's no meat in this here's a lollipop. Gradually, uh

578
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:04,760
Speaker 1: Mark Pittsburgh one on a day in which Ben Roethlisberger

579
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:08,320
Speaker 1: through three picks and no touchdowns. But what does this

580
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:11,000
Speaker 1: tell you about the Steelers, Well, it tells me how

581
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 1: versatile they are when they we we said last week

582
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:17,240
Speaker 1: you're gonna get into these games the good Steelers or

583
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:20,600
Speaker 1: the bad Steelers. This is the good Steelers. A. The

584
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:23,240
Speaker 1: defense played a great game. Number one. I think the

585
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 1: defense is something we don't talk about a lot with Pittsburgh.

586
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:28,240
Speaker 1: But they played on the road in the snow and

587
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:32,120
Speaker 1: one of their better games. Secondly, they came out throwing

588
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 1: the ball. I thought that they the game plan was

589
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:37,240
Speaker 1: to be to air it out against Buffalo Secondary, which

590
00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:38,840
Speaker 1: has given up a lot of big players this year

591
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:42,160
Speaker 1: all day long. Hundred and fifty yards or big Ben

592
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:45,280
Speaker 1: about a quarter in, and it looked like that was

593
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 1: the way it's gonna go. Then when the turnovers came,

594
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:49,680
Speaker 1: you know, big Ben through three, like you said at

595
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:52,600
Speaker 1: the when the second one hit and it had taken

596
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 1: more points away from Pittsburgh, they seemed to shift to

597
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:59,480
Speaker 1: a let's make Levy on Bell the beginning and the

598
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 1: end of this offense for the rest of this game

599
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:05,920
Speaker 1: and two hundred and thirty six yards rushing a franchise record.

600
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:10,200
Speaker 1: I grew up hating the Pittsburgh Steelers. They were an

601
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:13,280
Speaker 1: absolute joy to watch today because the way that Levy

602
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 1: on Bell well, because you know, you there's a lot

603
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:19,239
Speaker 1: of stuff that happens every week, and there's so much

604
00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:21,560
Speaker 1: stuff thrown in your face over the course of a

605
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:24,920
Speaker 1: Sunday that it's easy to become desensitized to all sorts

606
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 1: of highlights and big plays and happenings. Impossible to watch

607
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:31,520
Speaker 1: this game and not be mesmerized by Levy on Bell

608
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:34,680
Speaker 1: what he did. And you know, I wrote a column

609
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:36,640
Speaker 1: last week and I was getting killed by it for

610
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:38,880
Speaker 1: saying that the Steelers were much higher in terms of

611
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:41,960
Speaker 1: a f C playoff potential teams we could trust over

612
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:44,120
Speaker 1: teams like the Chiefs and others. And I understand the

613
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:47,160
Speaker 1: whole Chiefs thing. Good for them. They're plowing up on

614
00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:50,040
Speaker 1: Twitter just fan bases, and I get it. You're gonna

615
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:53,320
Speaker 1: be when the Steelers are playing the way they can

616
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:55,800
Speaker 1: on offense, they can take down anyone in the a

617
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:58,000
Speaker 1: f C. They gotta show they can do it. In January.

618
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 1: West is the best running back in football. Well you

619
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:04,800
Speaker 1: have to put him up with David Johnson and Ezekiel Elliott.

620
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 1: I mean it changes every week. Zek elliotts in the

621
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:10,720
Speaker 1: MVP discussion and David Johnson is I think Bell could

622
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:12,720
Speaker 1: you know if you didn't miss the three games, which

623
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 1: is a big f then he to me would be

624
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:16,960
Speaker 1: right there in the MV. I think he's already going

625
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 1: to be there if you put Tom Brady and you're

626
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 1: putting he is getting more yards per scrimmage per game.

627
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:25,200
Speaker 1: Before this week when he just put up to ninety,

628
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:27,320
Speaker 1: then he was in the top you know, ten to

629
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 1: fifteen of all time with that savage in a hundred

630
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:32,960
Speaker 1: and sixty one yards. That's the first ten games of

631
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:35,280
Speaker 1: his season, which is the highest total since Jim Brown

632
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:37,560
Speaker 1: in ninth. That's right. Tricks put him up there with

633
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:40,040
Speaker 1: Jim Brown. He's in a category of people that over

634
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:42,600
Speaker 1: the current course of the first thirty games, puts him

635
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 1: up there with Edge, James, Eric Dickerson, Marcus Allen, Arian Foster.

636
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:48,880
Speaker 1: It's all that's say you gotta be careful about forty

637
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:50,960
Speaker 1: two touches. That's the type of thing that that that

638
00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:54,040
Speaker 1: ruined season, that that hurts players, and it's been it's

639
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 1: been week after week. Two is outrageous. My favorite metric

640
00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:00,480
Speaker 1: is four seasons I've now sit as us from Mark

641
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:05,120
Speaker 1: on Sundays, and that was the most outbursts of unbridled

642
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:08,520
Speaker 1: joy that one player has inspired in a Sunday afternoon.

643
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:10,800
Speaker 1: You and at least four outbursts where you were yelling

644
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:15,200
Speaker 1: about LEVI first left burst. I have. I have a

645
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:17,360
Speaker 1: theory that you have and you've said it, and I

646
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:19,920
Speaker 1: believe that you've detached from the Browns and it's freed

647
00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:22,560
Speaker 1: you up on Sundays to experience joy while watching football.

648
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:25,720
Speaker 1: I mean, there's something else you can do with with

649
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 1: the Cleveland situation, but Pittsburgh also, I see great potential

650
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 1: in them and they It's like there's so many teams

651
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:33,920
Speaker 1: that are so middle of the road and milk toasts

652
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:36,160
Speaker 1: and dull to me right now that it's fun to

653
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:39,360
Speaker 1: watch it go out and dominate all these seven and

654
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:41,480
Speaker 1: six teams that we're getting over excited about your bills.

655
00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:44,360
Speaker 1: On the other side, um, let's hear from Rex Ryan,

656
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:48,560
Speaker 1: who before this game even started, UH, their reports surfaced

657
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:52,080
Speaker 1: and two different outlets that his job was in such

658
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:54,920
Speaker 1: jeopardy that he could lose it as soon as Monday.

659
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:57,360
Speaker 1: You could be listening to this and Rex Ryant could

660
00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 1: be fired possibly, but that he is in grave danger

661
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:04,040
Speaker 1: of his bill's career ending. Let's hear what he had

662
00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:06,680
Speaker 1: to say when asked directly about that. The first I've

663
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:11,320
Speaker 1: heard about a rumor about it or whatever. Why I

664
00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:14,160
Speaker 1: never didn't tell you guys, just said something, so that'll

665
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:16,720
Speaker 1: probably tell you that's who it is. I don't believe

666
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:18,760
Speaker 1: that at all. I think Rex obviously was plugged in

667
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 1: when all this stuff was flying around this morning. But

668
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:25,520
Speaker 1: I guess, I guess, I guess Greg that that Ryan

669
00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:27,560
Speaker 1: is is done no matter what happens here, because it

670
00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:29,280
Speaker 1: sounds like there's more going on buying the scenes that

671
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:34,040
Speaker 1: we than we know about. Well, very hot, but you

672
00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:37,360
Speaker 1: would think so you would think whoever's telling this two

673
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:42,960
Speaker 1: these reporters has an agenda, and maybe that person is

674
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:44,880
Speaker 1: closer to the top of the food chain there in

675
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:47,880
Speaker 1: Buffalo than Rex's. That there's some sort of internal talking

676
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:50,480
Speaker 1: about Doug Waley. I don't know, or it's just ownership.

677
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:53,000
Speaker 1: Who knows that that there's some sort of discord. It

678
00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 1: wouldn't be the first coach that have discord with Doug Waley,

679
00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:59,160
Speaker 1: not at all. I talked to someone who knows. Maybe

680
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:01,040
Speaker 1: they both get clean now if they if they lose

681
00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:03,320
Speaker 1: three straight, you know, it's a long way to go, though.

682
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:05,200
Speaker 1: I tuk somebody at the Super Bowl last year that

683
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:07,479
Speaker 1: was close to the situation that said Rex was all

684
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 1: but done last year and they had a late reprieve

685
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:12,960
Speaker 1: changing their mind. So he was. There was a lot

686
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:15,200
Speaker 1: of bad blood last year, and he's not doing enough.

687
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:19,040
Speaker 1: Apparently here's one. I mean, so they've got the Browns

688
00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:23,880
Speaker 1: and Jets and Dolphins and Dolphins Ryan Tannehill. So i

689
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:28,440
Speaker 1: I'm typically anti Rex Ryan for various reasons, But I

690
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:31,839
Speaker 1: don't think that that he's been the main problem. I do, though,

691
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:35,359
Speaker 1: look at a defense that got absolutely wiped away by

692
00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:38,759
Speaker 1: the Raiders in the second half, and then today it's

693
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:41,880
Speaker 1: they were out gained about four hundred and sixty yards

694
00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:44,879
Speaker 1: to two hundred and twenty eight. It'sburg just had its way.

695
00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:48,480
Speaker 1: We see this with new ownership a lot. You know,

696
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:50,840
Speaker 1: their first higher lasts about a year or two, and

697
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:52,640
Speaker 1: then they get antsie and they want to make a

698
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:55,279
Speaker 1: new change. You mentioned Ryan Tannehill. It's check in on

699
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:59,879
Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins floor. Gets rid of a Dolphins still.

700
00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:03,520
Speaker 1: He's got there's a fly down and he's can't side

701
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:08,080
Speaker 1: the two. The value of an experienced backup quarterback, you

702
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:10,560
Speaker 1: knew where to go with it. That was Matt Moore

703
00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:12,759
Speaker 1: with the pass, and we'll get to that in a minute.

704
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:15,600
Speaker 1: Chris Meyers of Fox with the call there that Kenny

705
00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:18,799
Speaker 1: Still's reception set the stage for the clinching field goal

706
00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:22,480
Speaker 1: in a twenty three Dolphins win over the Cardinal Oh

707
00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:27,360
Speaker 1: you know I had this, No, no, you could have

708
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:31,960
Speaker 1: it up. Dare I? Dare you? I I thought I

709
00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:34,399
Speaker 1: thought perhaps the Cardinals would steal this. They wiped away

710
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:38,680
Speaker 1: in late deficit. But um, this is ultimately a pyric

711
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:41,279
Speaker 1: victory for the Dolphins school who lost who likely lost

712
00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:44,600
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill for the season with a knee injury that

713
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:48,160
Speaker 1: rap Sheet reports is believed to be a torn a

714
00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:50,960
Speaker 1: c l Uh. It came out of play where class

715
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:54,040
Speaker 1: Campbell uh kind of went in low and got Tannehill

716
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:57,919
Speaker 1: in the lower leg area. And there was a sad

717
00:35:58,040 --> 00:36:00,600
Speaker 1: moment on the sideline this in the four quarters the

718
00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:05,440
Speaker 1: Cardinals were making their comeback where Tannehill, now in street clothes,

719
00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:09,280
Speaker 1: was holding back tears and wiping his eyes as different

720
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:11,520
Speaker 1: teammates were coming up to them, and I believe he

721
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:14,319
Speaker 1: was telling them the news, and uh, everyone was kind

722
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:16,040
Speaker 1: of reacting in real time. It was kind of a

723
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:19,000
Speaker 1: crazy moment for a team that now is eight and

724
00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:22,759
Speaker 1: five and in good playoff positioning, but barring some type

725
00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:25,239
Speaker 1: of miracle in the uh, you know, any type of

726
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:28,480
Speaker 1: testing follow up goes with Matt Moore the rest of

727
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:31,040
Speaker 1: the way west and what does that mean for the Dolphins.

728
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:34,200
Speaker 1: Matt Moore to me, I hold in the same regard

729
00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:37,239
Speaker 1: as Sean Hill. Guys that the last time you saw

730
00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:39,840
Speaker 1: them play in the regular season was like two thousand eleven,

731
00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:42,279
Speaker 1: and they held their own. And when you see them

732
00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:45,120
Speaker 1: now in the preseason or spotty play in the regular season,

733
00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:48,480
Speaker 1: they look like their body just isn't there anymore to handle.

734
00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:51,600
Speaker 1: Growing thirty or forty passes a game like a car

735
00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:54,400
Speaker 1: sitting in a driveway for five years. It's not He's not,

736
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:56,879
Speaker 1: you know, in if if you want to make the case,

737
00:36:56,920 --> 00:36:58,920
Speaker 1: we're not as old. Thirty two years old not too

738
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:01,840
Speaker 1: old for a quarterback. Also not very good for a quarterback.

739
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:04,960
Speaker 1: I mean he was never a stud. I mean he

740
00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:08,160
Speaker 1: had his moments. He's okay, he's a perfectly adequate quarterback.

741
00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:10,800
Speaker 1: But West is right. He has basically got into mothballs

742
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:14,120
Speaker 1: now because Tagnhill has been fairly um you know, as

743
00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:17,840
Speaker 1: missed a game's been very terrible. But now, all of

744
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:19,800
Speaker 1: a sudden, you throw Matt Moore into the middle of

745
00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:22,720
Speaker 1: a playoff chase in December. I don't like my name's chances.

746
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:24,719
Speaker 1: I don't think you should like their chances. You can.

747
00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:27,040
Speaker 1: This was a slop fest game. It's hard to take

748
00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:28,600
Speaker 1: a lot from it. One thing you can take is

749
00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:33,400
Speaker 1: that Miami's defensive line, which was invisible last week, pushed

750
00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:36,360
Speaker 1: around an Arizona offensive line that is injury ravaged and

751
00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:39,080
Speaker 1: has been a liability all year. So you can if

752
00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:42,560
Speaker 1: you're a Dolphins team, if a Dolphins fan, you can say, look,

753
00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:45,480
Speaker 1: that was a promising game from our defense, but you

754
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:47,239
Speaker 1: have to be concerned about the quarter. Well, here's what

755
00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:50,520
Speaker 1: I think a Matt Moore led team could do is

756
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:54,880
Speaker 1: beat a Bryce Petty led team or potentially beat this

757
00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:59,240
Speaker 1: Bill's team. So while they're this team, ceiling was always

758
00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:03,279
Speaker 1: fairly low, and terms of playoff run, you know, I

759
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:05,279
Speaker 1: think they're there. They still have a chance there to

760
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:07,440
Speaker 1: win those two games, and that probably gets you in

761
00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:09,920
Speaker 1: the playoffs, but that gets you think Matt more necessarily

762
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:12,799
Speaker 1: kills you, assuming that you get wiped out in Week

763
00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:15,960
Speaker 1: seventeen against the Patriots, who probably will still be fighting

764
00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:17,440
Speaker 1: for that number one seed in the in the in

765
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:20,600
Speaker 1: the regular season finale, that gets you to ten and six,

766
00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:23,120
Speaker 1: and there are ten and six teams that don't get

767
00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:25,680
Speaker 1: into the playoffs. That happens every year. But but if

768
00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:29,680
Speaker 1: you're a Dolphins fan, what it's it's got your emotions

769
00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:32,080
Speaker 1: to be this. You lost your starting quarterback and you

770
00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:34,600
Speaker 1: may get into the playoffs. Let's face it, though, right

771
00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:36,480
Speaker 1: you said, you know, it's not the end of it's

772
00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:39,120
Speaker 1: over there. They're done. Because even if they do somehow

773
00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:41,600
Speaker 1: get into the playoffs, if they had Tannehill, I don't

774
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:45,279
Speaker 1: think to do anything. Yeah, probably not, but at least

775
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:48,040
Speaker 1: you kind of maybe something magical happens with Hannahill. The

776
00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:51,080
Speaker 1: light goes on and stays on for all tens of purposes.

777
00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:53,719
Speaker 1: Their season ended. That's fair, that's fair. I mean if

778
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:57,320
Speaker 1: they go ten in six playoffs are not. This season

779
00:38:57,400 --> 00:39:00,640
Speaker 1: looked utterly lost from Miami a few mon spect So

780
00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:03,920
Speaker 1: you have to say first year Adam Gaze, nice job,

781
00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:06,800
Speaker 1: and so much for our one week excitement over the

782
00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:09,160
Speaker 1: Cardinals where maybe they could have made a run. Here

783
00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:11,799
Speaker 1: they're leading the team we've forked like two weeks ago,

784
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:13,880
Speaker 1: the leading tsunami of this game. It was kind of

785
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:16,160
Speaker 1: a sloppy, weird game. I'm wondering, by the way, now

786
00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:19,080
Speaker 1: leading wide receiver at eighteen yards? Yeah is what are

787
00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:21,680
Speaker 1: what are where the Cardinals at? Now five seven and one.

788
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:24,359
Speaker 1: We don't want to get stuck on this topic too long,

789
00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:27,359
Speaker 1: but five seven one, three more turnovers for Carson Palmer

790
00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:30,319
Speaker 1: today again bad weather conditions, but they have to figure

791
00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:33,400
Speaker 1: out what their what their situation. Is he done? West? No?

792
00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:36,279
Speaker 1: And I'm surprised by how many people are assuming he's

793
00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:38,920
Speaker 1: done or that he's gonna retire, not retire, but is

794
00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:41,440
Speaker 1: he in harsh decline? Now at this stage? Do you

795
00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:44,920
Speaker 1: think I think his there's nothing wrong with his arm.

796
00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:47,399
Speaker 1: I think he's throwing as strong as he ever has.

797
00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:49,800
Speaker 1: His pocket movement is not as strong as it was

798
00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:53,440
Speaker 1: last year, and that's highlighted by an offensive mind and

799
00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:56,640
Speaker 1: an offense that still asked him to take seven strap

800
00:39:56,800 --> 00:39:59,239
Speaker 1: step drops and hold the ball. And that's the way

801
00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:01,239
Speaker 1: we played great over the last three weeks. I really

802
00:40:01,320 --> 00:40:04,719
Speaker 1: believe that. Why don't go ahead, Ah, I was just

803
00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:07,360
Speaker 1: gonna say, that's the way arians runs his offense, and

804
00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:08,880
Speaker 1: he's not gonna change it, even if he has a

805
00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:11,480
Speaker 1: bad offensive line. So you're gonna have a bad season,

806
00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:14,320
Speaker 1: all right, Let's move on and check in. Check in

807
00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:19,160
Speaker 1: on an NFC. Uh maybe the two thousand seventeen team

808
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:21,960
Speaker 1: of a t L You never know. Breeze drops back

809
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:26,320
Speaker 1: to pass, throws left and it's intercepted. That's the ball game.

810
00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:31,600
Speaker 1: He Sandy with a second interception of the year. It's

811
00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:35,920
Speaker 1: the third interception for Brees today. And the bucket ears,

812
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:39,280
Speaker 1: what's fifty one seconds left to play in the fourth quarter?

813
00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:46,000
Speaker 1: We'll just have a victory formation. Whoa Tom McCarthy Westwood

814
00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:49,160
Speaker 1: won sports? Should we put that one into consideration for

815
00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:52,600
Speaker 1: the top ten cause of the year. I mean it's nice, No,

816
00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:57,239
Speaker 1: didn't stand out. The Bucks keep surging. This time they

817
00:40:57,320 --> 00:40:59,640
Speaker 1: leaned hard in their defense to secure a sixteen to

818
00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:02,080
Speaker 1: a let and win, uh, their fifth straight. This is

819
00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:04,960
Speaker 1: the first time, so it's two thousand two that Tampa

820
00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:06,759
Speaker 1: Bay has won five straight. And we all know how

821
00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:11,000
Speaker 1: that what happened that year, right, Mark? Absolutely what happened, Mark.

822
00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:14,040
Speaker 1: Lots of good things happened for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers

823
00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:17,439
Speaker 1: that year, specifically a Super Bowl victory. All right, Mark,

824
00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:22,080
Speaker 1: I wasn't even listening to That's like all the West

825
00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:25,600
Speaker 1: not the only story it around here. Way to go, Mark.

826
00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:28,200
Speaker 1: The ceiling probably isn't that high for this Bucks team,

827
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:31,719
Speaker 1: but they just might be the sneaky team nobody wants

828
00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:34,120
Speaker 1: to play if they can extend their season in January.

829
00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:37,360
Speaker 1: I think it's incredibly sneaky that Mark Cecil was assigned

830
00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:40,240
Speaker 1: to a game that involved to Greg Rosenthal pet teams.

831
00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:42,560
Speaker 1: But I'll try to get a point out here before

832
00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:47,000
Speaker 1: Greg jumps in, I will tell you one thing. I

833
00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:51,480
Speaker 1: can just see Greg salivating to discuss this game. Typically though,

834
00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:54,400
Speaker 1: when we do talk about the Bucks, it starts with

835
00:41:54,480 --> 00:41:57,560
Speaker 1: Jamis Winston. It's the opposite today. You know, they started

836
00:41:57,560 --> 00:42:00,239
Speaker 1: out well on offense, but it is the second week

837
00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:03,600
Speaker 1: in a row. That's safety Keith Tandy game winning pick.

838
00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:06,400
Speaker 1: It seems like no matter what the week is, someone

839
00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:08,800
Speaker 1: new is stepping up for this defense. There isn't a

840
00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:12,120
Speaker 1: real weakness for a unit that Mike Smith A lot

841
00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:14,440
Speaker 1: of jokes made about Mike Smith in the studio in

842
00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:18,080
Speaker 1: the past since made ten twelve point three points per

843
00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:20,919
Speaker 1: game allowed by the Bucks, which I think that makes

844
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:24,400
Speaker 1: them more of a serious threat to teams then necessarily

845
00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:26,200
Speaker 1: what's happening on offense, which I think a lot of

846
00:42:26,239 --> 00:42:28,279
Speaker 1: what happens with the Bucks offense is a little bit

847
00:42:28,640 --> 00:42:31,640
Speaker 1: of smoke and mirrors behind a very talented quarterback. Their

848
00:42:31,719 --> 00:42:34,680
Speaker 1: run game is not especially strong. They couldn't take this

849
00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:36,879
Speaker 1: game away from the Saints when they needed to today

850
00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:39,840
Speaker 1: on offense. That said, I mean this was a we

851
00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:42,680
Speaker 1: watched this Greg down the stretch. It is a strange game.

852
00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:44,359
Speaker 1: And if we want to get into it later. There

853
00:42:44,440 --> 00:42:46,359
Speaker 1: was a very strange way to end the first half.

854
00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:49,200
Speaker 1: But give me your thoughts. These are your two teams.

855
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:52,560
Speaker 1: Your two teams, give me your thoughts. Well, they're the

856
00:42:52,680 --> 00:42:56,600
Speaker 1: NFC's Chiefs, and they beat the Chiefs in Kansas City.

857
00:42:56,760 --> 00:42:58,840
Speaker 1: They do it with it's a it's a tough formula

858
00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:01,600
Speaker 1: every week to just win with the turnover margin. But

859
00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:03,720
Speaker 1: that's what they do every week, and that's Mike Smiths

860
00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:07,440
Speaker 1: old formula and it's working. Kwan Alexander and Lavonte David

861
00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:10,879
Speaker 1: and Noah Spence and Hardgraves, the rookie. They're they're playing

862
00:43:10,920 --> 00:43:13,040
Speaker 1: good team defense. And you said it. Getting enough out

863
00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:16,760
Speaker 1: of Winston. It seems like a lot of random plays

864
00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:18,759
Speaker 1: where he's just kind of running around or throwing it

865
00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:21,160
Speaker 1: up for Evans, Cameron. Brad's having a really good year,

866
00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:24,160
Speaker 1: but it's mostly the defense. One of my favorite Mike

867
00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:28,040
Speaker 1: Lombardi isms is you're one or two injuries away from

868
00:43:28,080 --> 00:43:30,799
Speaker 1: being a good team. The Buccaneers are a better team

869
00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:33,040
Speaker 1: with Keith Tandy and they're starting lineup to Chris content.

870
00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:36,400
Speaker 1: I was so impressed with his interception last week. He

871
00:43:36,520 --> 00:43:39,160
Speaker 1: basically ran the route for the wide receiver and showed

872
00:43:39,160 --> 00:43:41,480
Speaker 1: great ball skills in that play. It's the exact same

873
00:43:41,600 --> 00:43:44,120
Speaker 1: thing that this week to to close out the game,

874
00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:47,120
Speaker 1: and Breeze, by the way, ended up with no touchdowns,

875
00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:49,880
Speaker 1: three interceptions back to back week's first quarterback to do

876
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:53,840
Speaker 1: that since Tyler palco he go, he got some serious

877
00:43:53,880 --> 00:43:55,160
Speaker 1: steak on him when I put him in the m

878
00:43:55,239 --> 00:43:58,600
Speaker 1: v P race. That didn't help. I think that might

879
00:43:58,640 --> 00:44:00,960
Speaker 1: have played kiss of death by the way, mark, how

880
00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:04,600
Speaker 1: how would where is it possible? Let me put it

881
00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:08,160
Speaker 1: this way, that you can always set up any analysis

882
00:44:08,239 --> 00:44:11,200
Speaker 1: going forward by taking a shot at Greg and then

883
00:44:11,640 --> 00:44:13,960
Speaker 1: throwing it to him in a kind of It was

884
00:44:14,040 --> 00:44:16,920
Speaker 1: not you know, looking back, it probably looks like a

885
00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:19,360
Speaker 1: shot at Greg. It's just that I found it funny

886
00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:21,680
Speaker 1: that you know these have been It's like if Greg

887
00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:25,279
Speaker 1: recovering like a Brown's verse Browns game, why would he be?

888
00:44:25,440 --> 00:44:27,359
Speaker 1: Why was I assigned to this game? I can't put

889
00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:29,880
Speaker 1: my head around it, but I quite enjoyed watching it.

890
00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:32,040
Speaker 1: You know what, I got Steelers bills earlier, but this

891
00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:34,480
Speaker 1: late it was a good day. Greg did a good job.

892
00:44:34,560 --> 00:44:36,440
Speaker 1: They're staying out of the way long enough to let

893
00:44:36,520 --> 00:44:38,520
Speaker 1: you get your points out before he jumped in. I mean,

894
00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:40,640
Speaker 1: I was quick to set the table because I could

895
00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:44,080
Speaker 1: feel it coming. It was like an air ridgible coming

896
00:44:44,120 --> 00:44:46,400
Speaker 1: out in my head. It was gonna explode all over me.

897
00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:49,759
Speaker 1: Just you know, I needed to hand it over to Gregg.

898
00:44:49,800 --> 00:44:51,759
Speaker 1: He did an excellent job with this analysis. He's a

899
00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:53,680
Speaker 1: prep and the and there's a prep here is that

900
00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:57,320
Speaker 1: I hadn't even brought up yet, the whole sandwich factor

901
00:44:57,760 --> 00:45:00,480
Speaker 1: of two teams getting from the NFC soun and one

902
00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:04,839
Speaker 1: of them and this is to look good. Well, they're

903
00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:07,360
Speaker 1: tied with the Falcons right now that I thought was

904
00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:11,560
Speaker 1: gonna run away with this division Falcons. You say like that,

905
00:45:11,640 --> 00:45:14,200
Speaker 1: it's called a transition. That's a pro at the top

906
00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:17,600
Speaker 1: of his game, said you and got three steps, looks

907
00:45:17,640 --> 00:45:20,360
Speaker 1: to the right and it's intercepted. Dion Jones keeps his

908
00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:28,120
Speaker 1: feet ten five touchdown for debot. Pick six for Dion Jones. Wait,

909
00:45:28,200 --> 00:45:31,560
Speaker 1: I thought James Harrison was debot. Listen these things. Well,

910
00:45:31,600 --> 00:45:33,759
Speaker 1: when you're debot and then you're still in the league

911
00:45:33,760 --> 00:45:35,759
Speaker 1: and you're forty eight, there're gonna be another They're gonna

912
00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:40,040
Speaker 1: be more debots. That's fair. You know, these nicknames sometimes

913
00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:43,080
Speaker 1: like Alex Keegan has had a Rod lockdown, you think,

914
00:45:43,080 --> 00:45:44,879
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, Aaron Rodgers people calling

915
00:45:44,920 --> 00:45:46,680
Speaker 1: him a Rod. Nobody calls him a right. I mean,

916
00:45:46,960 --> 00:45:49,840
Speaker 1: what are we doing here? He's capital a lowercase a

917
00:45:50,160 --> 00:45:55,080
Speaker 1: dash Rod, So it's different anyway. I get healthy game

918
00:45:55,160 --> 00:45:57,640
Speaker 1: for the Falcons, who had no problem whatsoever with the

919
00:45:57,719 --> 00:46:00,799
Speaker 1: lifeless Rams and A forty two were team win at

920
00:46:00,840 --> 00:46:03,960
Speaker 1: the Coliseum Atlanta, now eight and five had two defensive

921
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:06,319
Speaker 1: touchdowns in this game, once again showing they can still

922
00:46:06,400 --> 00:46:10,280
Speaker 1: win and dominate without Julio Jones Greg Rosenthal. The Falcons

923
00:46:10,480 --> 00:46:12,439
Speaker 1: took care of business and may have put Jeff Fisher

924
00:46:12,480 --> 00:46:14,800
Speaker 1: on even thinner ice while doing it. Fisher should be

925
00:46:14,840 --> 00:46:18,680
Speaker 1: in trouble. This game was preposterous, maybe the most embarrassing

926
00:46:18,719 --> 00:46:24,960
Speaker 1: home for ye wow, if any team any right, the

927
00:46:25,040 --> 00:46:27,920
Speaker 1: first play of the game, they fumbled the kickoff. The

928
00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:30,480
Speaker 1: second play of the game was a touchdown for the Falcons.

929
00:46:31,040 --> 00:46:35,000
Speaker 1: I mean, that's so confusing. The play by play still

930
00:46:35,080 --> 00:46:37,640
Speaker 1: hasn't figured out how to even set that up already,

931
00:46:37,640 --> 00:46:40,680
Speaker 1: because you don't even know what's happening. I mean, you've

932
00:46:40,680 --> 00:46:45,120
Speaker 1: got Todd Gurley yelling at Jared Goff you've got defensive touchdowns,

933
00:46:45,280 --> 00:46:48,560
Speaker 1: You've got dropped passes from the Rams. You've got a

934
00:46:48,840 --> 00:46:51,120
Speaker 1: forty two to nothing scoring Matt Ryan out of the

935
00:46:51,200 --> 00:46:54,440
Speaker 1: game after three quarters in a game that there's no

936
00:46:54,600 --> 00:46:57,839
Speaker 1: Julio or snow. I mean, how could it get worse?

937
00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:01,080
Speaker 1: Your paramore, big Rams fans, we said on the show

938
00:47:01,120 --> 00:47:06,160
Speaker 1: before actually got to go to this game. Poor girl. Yeah,

939
00:47:06,520 --> 00:47:09,160
Speaker 1: for some reason, she was a little bit excited for

940
00:47:09,320 --> 00:47:12,879
Speaker 1: the game. I mean, I can understand being excited for tailgating, Yeah,

941
00:47:12,920 --> 00:47:15,120
Speaker 1: but to go to a Rams game and hope they're

942
00:47:15,160 --> 00:47:17,560
Speaker 1: gonna show up. Not not in the Jared goff Era.

943
00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:22,600
Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's funny that she. I mean,

944
00:47:22,680 --> 00:47:24,839
Speaker 1: he has a chance, but he wasn't ready to play

945
00:47:24,920 --> 00:47:26,440
Speaker 1: when they put him in there. He's not ready to

946
00:47:26,480 --> 00:47:29,439
Speaker 1: play now, and they're a joke and the defense wasn't

947
00:47:29,480 --> 00:47:33,359
Speaker 1: much better. She won the tickets through her employer, thanks

948
00:47:33,400 --> 00:47:36,120
Speaker 1: a lot employer. Yeah. That that is the That is

949
00:47:36,200 --> 00:47:38,759
Speaker 1: the machine keeping the man down in this case of

950
00:47:38,760 --> 00:47:42,680
Speaker 1: the woman, I mean the reminder that don't venture outside

951
00:47:42,719 --> 00:47:44,680
Speaker 1: this world to enjoy our product. Get back in the

952
00:47:44,760 --> 00:47:52,480
Speaker 1: buildings and seats. The Rams ran a quarterback option with

953
00:47:52,600 --> 00:47:55,600
Speaker 1: two minutes left in this game in which at the

954
00:47:55,640 --> 00:47:58,040
Speaker 1: goal line, in which Jared goff you know, rushed it in,

955
00:47:58,520 --> 00:48:01,040
Speaker 1: was not aware of the defender. It's a huge shot

956
00:48:01,120 --> 00:48:02,759
Speaker 1: to the ribs where it looks like he could have

957
00:48:02,800 --> 00:48:05,880
Speaker 1: gotten hurt. The scores forty two to seven, and then

958
00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:09,040
Speaker 1: fireworks go off in the stadium and it's forty two

959
00:48:09,120 --> 00:48:13,719
Speaker 1: to seven on purpose, Yeah it was. It was the

960
00:48:13,840 --> 00:48:16,520
Speaker 1: Rams fireworks. I am now, we just got our quarterback

961
00:48:16,680 --> 00:48:19,880
Speaker 1: killed in a totally meaningless situation. Let's let off some fireworks.

962
00:48:19,960 --> 00:48:23,840
Speaker 1: I'm not writing Jared goff off, but this coaching staff

963
00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:27,359
Speaker 1: has not developed him. He's not ready to play, and well,

964
00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:28,800
Speaker 1: I think we have to wait for the next coaching

965
00:48:28,840 --> 00:48:30,839
Speaker 1: staff to get something out of him. I don't think

966
00:48:30,880 --> 00:48:33,160
Speaker 1: there's any debate. They're a much worse team with Jared

967
00:48:33,200 --> 00:48:36,160
Speaker 1: goff than they were with caves Keenum. Let's um give

968
00:48:36,200 --> 00:48:38,239
Speaker 1: a little up to Vic Beasley for the team that

969
00:48:38,520 --> 00:48:41,080
Speaker 1: hopefully we'll be playing in January. Here. Up to thirteen

970
00:48:41,160 --> 00:48:45,719
Speaker 1: sacks after three on the day. Up to seven forced fumbles.

971
00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:50,919
Speaker 1: That's an outrageous number of forced fumbles. I mean, he's leading,

972
00:48:51,600 --> 00:48:55,160
Speaker 1: I believe in both categories. And to West's point, You

973
00:48:55,239 --> 00:48:58,480
Speaker 1: can look up and down the Rams roster, look at

974
00:48:58,520 --> 00:49:00,960
Speaker 1: offensive players that were trapped did highly that have not

975
00:49:01,200 --> 00:49:04,280
Speaker 1: developed into anything, and it goes back to the coaching staff.

976
00:49:04,400 --> 00:49:06,680
Speaker 1: Flip side the Falcons. For how many years have we

977
00:49:06,760 --> 00:49:09,640
Speaker 1: said you've got to draft and find a young pass rusher.

978
00:49:09,840 --> 00:49:12,000
Speaker 1: Couldn't do it. You bring in Dan Quinn and you

979
00:49:12,080 --> 00:49:15,680
Speaker 1: get Vic Beasley. Coaching changes. Not that we're pushing for this,

980
00:49:16,200 --> 00:49:19,160
Speaker 1: but it's that when you're not developing young players. I

981
00:49:19,200 --> 00:49:21,879
Speaker 1: don't I can't think of a worse reason to keep

982
00:49:21,920 --> 00:49:24,320
Speaker 1: a coaching staff around when you see young talent not

983
00:49:24,480 --> 00:49:26,799
Speaker 1: growing into something more than they should. I thought Vick

984
00:49:26,880 --> 00:49:29,319
Speaker 1: Beasley had the quickest first step in the league as

985
00:49:29,360 --> 00:49:31,959
Speaker 1: a rookie last year. He wasn't strong and he didn't

986
00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:34,440
Speaker 1: have all the moves. Dwight Freeney has probably helped with

987
00:49:34,560 --> 00:49:38,279
Speaker 1: him and the Falcons. They have a major edge on

988
00:49:38,360 --> 00:49:42,880
Speaker 1: the Buccaneers for this reason. Next week, the Buccaneers are

989
00:49:42,960 --> 00:49:47,120
Speaker 1: at Dallas, the Falcons host San Francisco, and then they

990
00:49:47,280 --> 00:49:49,719
Speaker 1: both play the Panthers and Saints in the final two weeks.

991
00:49:49,760 --> 00:49:53,640
Speaker 1: There we go, that could be the difference maker next week. Uh,

992
00:49:53,719 --> 00:49:55,360
Speaker 1: let's move on check in what's going on in the

993
00:49:55,520 --> 00:49:58,960
Speaker 1: NFC East up by five, looking to hold on for

994
00:49:59,040 --> 00:50:03,320
Speaker 1: a win? Here back to pass they hate it is loose.

995
00:50:03,760 --> 00:50:05,680
Speaker 1: Now the Redskins gonna pick it up. It is Trent

996
00:50:05,840 --> 00:50:08,239
Speaker 1: Murphrey with it at the thirty three yard line, and

997
00:50:08,360 --> 00:50:10,960
Speaker 1: that's gonna do it. That's gonna do it. The show

998
00:50:11,080 --> 00:50:16,680
Speaker 1: stop where Ryan Kerrigan got to him, Larry Michael, That's

999
00:50:16,840 --> 00:50:21,399
Speaker 1: where Nickney ever I went about blunt force trauma. Larry

1000
00:50:21,480 --> 00:50:24,360
Speaker 1: Larry Michael and Sunny Jarginson a W T. E. M.

1001
00:50:24,800 --> 00:50:28,200
Speaker 1: The Eagles made them earn it, but the Redskins kept

1002
00:50:28,239 --> 00:50:31,640
Speaker 1: their playoff hopes alive with a twenty two win in Philly.

1003
00:50:31,719 --> 00:50:34,360
Speaker 1: With that late stand. De Sean Jackson had a hundred

1004
00:50:34,400 --> 00:50:37,120
Speaker 1: and two yards and three catches, including an eight yard

1005
00:50:37,200 --> 00:50:40,480
Speaker 1: hookup that represented the biggest play in an up and

1006
00:50:40,560 --> 00:50:44,440
Speaker 1: down afternoon for Kirk Cousins. The Redskins. They break a

1007
00:50:44,480 --> 00:50:47,760
Speaker 1: two game losing streak. Now seven five and one, gentlemen,

1008
00:50:48,200 --> 00:50:51,759
Speaker 1: and here's their finish at home against Panthers. West wind

1009
00:50:51,800 --> 00:50:55,000
Speaker 1: lost me here home against Panthers eight five and one

1010
00:50:55,120 --> 00:51:00,560
Speaker 1: at Bears, when nine five and one verse Giants, when ten,

1011
00:51:01,360 --> 00:51:04,799
Speaker 1: well you have the table. Uh ten five and one.

1012
00:51:04,880 --> 00:51:07,759
Speaker 1: We gration West Skins. You've made the playoffs the West

1013
00:51:07,840 --> 00:51:09,880
Speaker 1: West season on a four game streak. I mean, how

1014
00:51:10,239 --> 00:51:12,120
Speaker 1: was an important win? You can't dream up a better

1015
00:51:12,160 --> 00:51:14,880
Speaker 1: schedule than that. That's nice. People still think the Giants

1016
00:51:14,920 --> 00:51:16,080
Speaker 1: are a playoff team and they have the one of

1017
00:51:16,120 --> 00:51:19,240
Speaker 1: the worst offenses in the NFL. Also has the Giants

1018
00:51:19,320 --> 00:51:22,000
Speaker 1: picking third in the draft. So you know that. I mean,

1019
00:51:22,080 --> 00:51:24,000
Speaker 1: I I agree with you, as tell me where I

1020
00:51:26,120 --> 00:51:28,279
Speaker 1: I do love that you included an eight and four

1021
00:51:28,360 --> 00:51:30,640
Speaker 1: team on the best possible schedule you could come up.

1022
00:51:30,719 --> 00:51:32,440
Speaker 1: I mean, you could throw the Browns in instead of

1023
00:51:32,480 --> 00:51:35,399
Speaker 1: the Giants. Also, just to pull back the curtain here,

1024
00:51:35,880 --> 00:51:37,879
Speaker 1: it's in the second quarter of the Sunday night game

1025
00:51:38,160 --> 00:51:40,920
Speaker 1: West hanging a little onion here, just assuming the Giants

1026
00:51:40,960 --> 00:51:44,360
Speaker 1: will currently down seven nothing, I've seen the Giants offense

1027
00:51:44,400 --> 00:51:46,759
Speaker 1: for the past month. I feel pretty good about this. Yeah, well,

1028
00:51:46,920 --> 00:51:49,279
Speaker 1: well we'll get to the Giants, but for now, the

1029
00:51:49,360 --> 00:51:52,440
Speaker 1: Redskins with a big win, really a tough one, and

1030
00:51:52,520 --> 00:51:54,719
Speaker 1: I thought, um, I thought the showed a little bit

1031
00:51:54,760 --> 00:51:58,160
Speaker 1: of moxie. I'm surprised by how much I can continue

1032
00:51:58,200 --> 00:52:01,719
Speaker 1: to hear talk about this was a big, big performance

1033
00:52:01,760 --> 00:52:05,120
Speaker 1: by Kirk Cousins, who really needs to convince management that

1034
00:52:05,200 --> 00:52:07,359
Speaker 1: he's are we passed that at this point he's gonna

1035
00:52:07,360 --> 00:52:11,160
Speaker 1: get paid by the Redskins, right, I'd be surprised if

1036
00:52:11,160 --> 00:52:13,960
Speaker 1: he didn't, but for one large reason, like what what's

1037
00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:16,959
Speaker 1: your other options? Quarterback? I mean, you're gonna he's also

1038
00:52:17,480 --> 00:52:19,960
Speaker 1: quarterbacks paid, right, and he's he's also it's not just

1039
00:52:20,120 --> 00:52:25,200
Speaker 1: your backing into Kirk Cousins. He's shown incredible progress and

1040
00:52:25,640 --> 00:52:28,560
Speaker 1: fit for for for Jake Rudin. One thing, uh, kind

1041
00:52:28,600 --> 00:52:31,800
Speaker 1: of like the little unique nugget of this game happened

1042
00:52:32,239 --> 00:52:35,640
Speaker 1: with the long time long snapper for the Eagles, who

1043
00:52:35,800 --> 00:52:38,120
Speaker 1: I'm sure he's had a very nice career and I

1044
00:52:38,160 --> 00:52:42,000
Speaker 1: wish I remembered his name, but John, Yes, that's him, Dorinbose.

1045
00:52:42,040 --> 00:52:45,200
Speaker 1: He suffered a wrist injury, left the game. Uh. He

1046
00:52:45,360 --> 00:52:51,040
Speaker 1: was then replaced um uh for exactly one snap another

1047
00:52:51,160 --> 00:52:54,440
Speaker 1: risk injury to his replacement uh, and it led to

1048
00:52:54,920 --> 00:52:57,959
Speaker 1: a third string guy long snapping who got the snap

1049
00:52:58,080 --> 00:53:01,160
Speaker 1: down for a long field goal that put the Eagles

1050
00:53:01,200 --> 00:53:04,080
Speaker 1: ahead temporarily. So that was that was a bizarre moment

1051
00:53:04,360 --> 00:53:06,920
Speaker 1: in this game. John Dorrin Boss was involved you. Brent

1052
00:53:07,040 --> 00:53:10,400
Speaker 1: Selick tried, he also got hurt, and then Donnie Jones

1053
00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:16,040
Speaker 1: Um Finally, but question for Mark, Yes, a couple of

1054
00:53:16,040 --> 00:53:18,040
Speaker 1: weeks ago, for it seemed like for about a month

1055
00:53:18,080 --> 00:53:20,799
Speaker 1: long stretch, you were very bullish on the Redskins. Yes.

1056
00:53:20,920 --> 00:53:23,600
Speaker 1: Are you still as bullish on them now? I think

1057
00:53:23,680 --> 00:53:24,920
Speaker 1: that they you have to look at them as a

1058
00:53:25,000 --> 00:53:27,800
Speaker 1: team that could disappoint you any week. But I do.

1059
00:53:27,960 --> 00:53:29,680
Speaker 1: I do think they're gonna make the playoffs. We just

1060
00:53:29,719 --> 00:53:32,200
Speaker 1: talked about their schedule and there's a nugget here, and

1061
00:53:32,280 --> 00:53:34,239
Speaker 1: this is something that I've liked about the Redskins last

1062
00:53:34,280 --> 00:53:37,200
Speaker 1: two seasons. It goes to Bill Callaghan. Conroy wrote this

1063
00:53:37,320 --> 00:53:40,520
Speaker 1: up and talked about sometimes when the Redskins get hot

1064
00:53:40,560 --> 00:53:43,080
Speaker 1: in the ground game, the way that they designed blocking

1065
00:53:43,160 --> 00:53:45,799
Speaker 1: schemes and the way they run the ball. Ties back

1066
00:53:45,840 --> 00:53:48,400
Speaker 1: to Bill Callahan and the coaching and you mentioned the

1067
00:53:48,440 --> 00:53:51,000
Speaker 1: Colts and it's the polar opposite with the Colts where

1068
00:53:51,040 --> 00:53:53,720
Speaker 1: you asked Ryan Grigson, are you asked the coaching staff

1069
00:53:53,800 --> 00:53:57,719
Speaker 1: what happened on this play? I mean, I do think

1070
00:53:57,800 --> 00:54:00,160
Speaker 1: that the Redskins have a good coaching staff. I think

1071
00:54:00,200 --> 00:54:04,120
Speaker 1: that they've got some the requisite amount of explosive players

1072
00:54:04,400 --> 00:54:07,719
Speaker 1: and a ground game that shows up enough to give

1073
00:54:07,760 --> 00:54:09,759
Speaker 1: you a real chance to win a playoff game. When

1074
00:54:09,760 --> 00:54:12,080
Speaker 1: they when they lost to Dallas on Thanksgiving, the first

1075
00:54:12,120 --> 00:54:13,880
Speaker 1: thing I thought was, I want to see these two

1076
00:54:13,960 --> 00:54:16,520
Speaker 1: teams play again. I'm not sure they're that team, but

1077
00:54:16,600 --> 00:54:18,520
Speaker 1: the d N A, the DNA is there to do

1078
00:54:18,719 --> 00:54:21,239
Speaker 1: something in January. If it goes right, ten QB hits

1079
00:54:21,320 --> 00:54:24,160
Speaker 1: today and they play three bad offensive lines coming up,

1080
00:54:24,280 --> 00:54:26,520
Speaker 1: if they can just keep the pressure on, that's enough.

1081
00:54:26,800 --> 00:54:28,560
Speaker 1: They just gotta be okay. I feel like their their

1082
00:54:28,680 --> 00:54:31,759
Speaker 1: pass rush is really steadily improved throughout the season. Well

1083
00:54:31,760 --> 00:54:35,560
Speaker 1: you got the show stuff, show stop by, Let's move on,

1084
00:54:37,680 --> 00:54:41,480
Speaker 1: And now an actual promo from a real life CBS

1085
00:54:41,560 --> 00:54:48,880
Speaker 1: program that millions of humans watch. The woman is trapped

1086
00:54:48,920 --> 00:54:54,880
Speaker 1: in her car at the bottom of brand tarpetmember a

1087
00:54:55,040 --> 00:54:58,120
Speaker 1: short breath, she runs out of oxygen. I'm going to

1088
00:54:58,200 --> 00:55:00,640
Speaker 1: go down. Their guitar is going to play threatening burns.

1089
00:55:02,840 --> 00:55:08,480
Speaker 1: It's me or she dies. Drop bottle of bits, scorpions.

1090
00:55:10,719 --> 00:55:13,040
Speaker 1: Four receivers in the pattern. Now told joins him. Here's

1091
00:55:13,040 --> 00:55:16,799
Speaker 1: the car Land's own cock, Devin fun just touchdown, Carolina,

1092
00:55:18,280 --> 00:55:20,719
Speaker 1: your mouth hurts you didn't check your mouth hurt it

1093
00:55:20,960 --> 00:55:25,840
Speaker 1: because that was a beautiful catch back to back whackiest soundclips.

1094
00:55:25,880 --> 00:55:27,640
Speaker 1: Are we really even ready to get to the game

1095
00:55:27,680 --> 00:55:31,080
Speaker 1: after what we heard previous? Right? It's hard pits? Please?

1096
00:55:31,800 --> 00:55:36,640
Speaker 1: Is that announcing that? That was my? Mick Mixon and

1097
00:55:36,680 --> 00:55:40,600
Speaker 1: Eugene Robinson of w BT. Do you think Mick Mixon's

1098
00:55:40,640 --> 00:55:42,520
Speaker 1: real first name is Mick or is it just because

1099
00:55:42,560 --> 00:55:45,440
Speaker 1: his last name is Mixing and that's a nickname I

1100
00:55:45,520 --> 00:55:48,719
Speaker 1: don't know, but probably born in the late sixties. I

1101
00:55:48,840 --> 00:55:50,640
Speaker 1: traced that back to his parents as someone who lives

1102
00:55:50,640 --> 00:55:52,759
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles, and I've actually been to the Labra

1103
00:55:52,840 --> 00:55:55,040
Speaker 1: It's heart pits. It's not that easy to crash your

1104
00:55:55,080 --> 00:55:57,320
Speaker 1: car into the tard pit, nor is it easy. And

1105
00:55:57,440 --> 00:55:59,239
Speaker 1: it all screams to me, you know what, We've got

1106
00:55:59,360 --> 00:56:02,600
Speaker 1: to pound another one of these episodes. They were located

1107
00:56:02,640 --> 00:56:04,279
Speaker 1: in l A. The tar pets are about five miles

1108
00:56:04,320 --> 00:56:07,279
Speaker 1: from here. Easy place to shoot, build a drama, a

1109
00:56:07,400 --> 00:56:10,279
Speaker 1: ridiculous one around the LaBrea tarpets. What else could it

1110
00:56:10,360 --> 00:56:13,760
Speaker 1: come down to? You know, they gotta pump out twenty

1111
00:56:13,800 --> 00:56:17,240
Speaker 1: four of these scores every year. They can't all be gems.

1112
00:56:17,440 --> 00:56:20,400
Speaker 1: Who is scorpion. Does anyone even know scorpion is a

1113
00:56:20,480 --> 00:56:26,960
Speaker 1: collective of any of them very intelligent, but also they

1114
00:56:27,040 --> 00:56:31,799
Speaker 1: all have different personalities, unique personalities that are both um

1115
00:56:32,400 --> 00:56:36,880
Speaker 1: interesting and um compelling. It just sounds like something the

1116
00:56:37,040 --> 00:56:38,759
Speaker 1: the l a p d Would handle that. You know

1117
00:56:38,800 --> 00:56:41,760
Speaker 1: why you bringing scorpions is when the when the police

1118
00:56:41,840 --> 00:56:44,800
Speaker 1: can't handle the job, you call up the scorpion. And

1119
00:56:45,120 --> 00:56:47,680
Speaker 1: we don't need to hear any criticism from Panthers or

1120
00:56:47,760 --> 00:56:50,120
Speaker 1: Chargers fans. You guys are just talking score. You guys

1121
00:56:50,160 --> 00:56:52,080
Speaker 1: did this to yourself. Yes, this should have been a

1122
00:56:52,160 --> 00:56:54,560
Speaker 1: fun game. Just a bunch of five and eight teams

1123
00:56:54,800 --> 00:56:57,600
Speaker 1: and operatives are so intelligent, perhaps they should be writing

1124
00:56:57,640 --> 00:57:01,160
Speaker 1: the scripts for this show. A couple of things. First

1125
00:57:01,200 --> 00:57:03,200
Speaker 1: of all, about this game, and then we gotta keep

1126
00:57:03,239 --> 00:57:07,239
Speaker 1: moving here. But Um, Melvin Gordon Uh in the first

1127
00:57:07,320 --> 00:57:10,200
Speaker 1: quarter of this game entered this game. I believe seven

1128
00:57:10,280 --> 00:57:13,560
Speaker 1: yard shy of one thousand. We have Uh stated publicly

1129
00:57:14,239 --> 00:57:18,240
Speaker 1: on the show that that that spice rack Chris Westling's

1130
00:57:18,520 --> 00:57:23,400
Speaker 1: desert consigliari Um would have a chance to redeem himself

1131
00:57:23,480 --> 00:57:25,960
Speaker 1: on this program if Gordon runs for a thousand yards.

1132
00:57:26,360 --> 00:57:28,720
Speaker 1: UH suffered a hip injury in the first quarter three

1133
00:57:28,840 --> 00:57:31,720
Speaker 1: yards shy of one thousand. Now here's the good news

1134
00:57:31,800 --> 00:57:34,160
Speaker 1: for everybody, because we don't want Melvin Gordon hurt. Uh.

1135
00:57:34,240 --> 00:57:38,080
Speaker 1: The Union Trimbune reports that Gordon's hip is good. He's okay.

1136
00:57:38,480 --> 00:57:41,520
Speaker 1: So it looks like after a big scare, but not

1137
00:57:41,640 --> 00:57:44,440
Speaker 1: before spice Rack and by the way, spice Rack come

1138
00:57:44,480 --> 00:57:47,200
Speaker 1: back to it. That's well, we'll see this is these

1139
00:57:47,240 --> 00:57:49,880
Speaker 1: are early reports. M R I is coming money good

1140
00:57:50,000 --> 00:57:53,800
Speaker 1: might also mean it's not broken, but he's out for

1141
00:57:53,880 --> 00:57:55,760
Speaker 1: the ref. They've got nothing to play for. They could

1142
00:57:55,800 --> 00:57:58,520
Speaker 1: put him on ice they absolutely could. Spice Rack takes

1143
00:57:58,560 --> 00:58:01,640
Speaker 1: a random shot at our sponsored by the way Mr

1144
00:58:01,760 --> 00:58:05,200
Speaker 1: Flames economics class in the Hague, the Netherlands on Twitter,

1145
00:58:05,400 --> 00:58:08,720
Speaker 1: randomly takes a shot at Mr f blaming him for

1146
00:58:08,840 --> 00:58:11,400
Speaker 1: Gordon's injury. This is the type of stuff that that

1147
00:58:11,520 --> 00:58:15,440
Speaker 1: spice Rack got banned for. But it's just like spice

1148
00:58:15,480 --> 00:58:18,600
Speaker 1: Racks bizarre mind decides that he wants to take a

1149
00:58:18,680 --> 00:58:20,760
Speaker 1: heel turn for some reason, thinking that this is gonna

1150
00:58:20,800 --> 00:58:23,520
Speaker 1: play up his character. Come back to us, spice Rack.

1151
00:58:23,560 --> 00:58:26,000
Speaker 1: How will the listener recover if he does not appear

1152
00:58:26,040 --> 00:58:29,240
Speaker 1: on our show again? It's sad because he's he's been

1153
00:58:29,320 --> 00:58:32,920
Speaker 1: right about Gordon, who has been fantastic this season. And

1154
00:58:33,200 --> 00:58:35,200
Speaker 1: as bad as this season has been for the Chargers,

1155
00:58:35,480 --> 00:58:37,920
Speaker 1: they just lost Gordon, and they lost Joey Bosa in

1156
00:58:37,960 --> 00:58:40,080
Speaker 1: this game to a neck injury. And if he's out

1157
00:58:40,120 --> 00:58:41,680
Speaker 1: for a while, might get in the way of his

1158
00:58:41,760 --> 00:58:45,080
Speaker 1: defensive Rookie of the Year candidates. That would be a shame, whichold,

1159
00:58:45,080 --> 00:58:46,800
Speaker 1: which would be a shame. And and oh, by the way,

1160
00:58:46,800 --> 00:58:49,880
Speaker 1: the Panthers won your boy, by the way, yea Panthers

1161
00:58:49,960 --> 00:58:53,640
Speaker 1: when your boy Philip Rivers. Greg has really stumbled down

1162
00:58:53,680 --> 00:58:56,560
Speaker 1: the stretch. Five turnovers in this game. He was also

1163
00:58:56,600 --> 00:59:00,600
Speaker 1: sacked five times, took a safety. Uh so uh you

1164
00:59:00,720 --> 00:59:02,880
Speaker 1: predicted that? Uh? And West Actually, you guys thought he

1165
00:59:02,880 --> 00:59:04,520
Speaker 1: would they would go ten and six. But they're going

1166
00:59:04,600 --> 00:59:07,840
Speaker 1: in the wrong direction and we do not go after

1167
00:59:08,000 --> 00:59:10,320
Speaker 1: Mr f What are you thinking, right, Mr have a

1168
00:59:10,400 --> 00:59:12,880
Speaker 1: heck of a nice sky. You're crazy, Rivers. That is

1169
00:59:12,920 --> 00:59:14,720
Speaker 1: not the way to get back on the show, buddy.

1170
00:59:15,400 --> 00:59:18,040
Speaker 1: This is a trend for Rivers. He has struggled in

1171
00:59:18,120 --> 00:59:21,080
Speaker 1: the second half of seasons compared to how great he's

1172
00:59:21,080 --> 00:59:23,960
Speaker 1: played in the first half of seasons. I believe three

1173
00:59:24,040 --> 00:59:29,080
Speaker 1: straight years there's been a pretty market decline for whatever reason.

1174
00:59:29,200 --> 00:59:31,120
Speaker 1: That's something to be a little concerned about. For our

1175
00:59:31,160 --> 00:59:34,360
Speaker 1: the l A rate Chargers, our Panthers coverage went all

1176
00:59:34,440 --> 00:59:36,880
Speaker 1: to Cam Newton's tie, so that's why we haven't covered

1177
00:59:36,920 --> 00:59:39,880
Speaker 1: them tonight, Mr Fu. An apology for Mr f is

1178
00:59:39,960 --> 00:59:42,160
Speaker 1: now part of any spice rack. Return to the shop.

1179
00:59:42,640 --> 00:59:49,520
Speaker 1: That's fair if he gets there. Let's move on. Holly

1180
00:59:49,600 --> 00:59:53,520
Speaker 1: Flicker from the own end zone in the Triple Publicge's

1181
00:59:53,520 --> 00:59:57,640
Speaker 1: in the sected by Loca have some blockers on the

1182
00:59:57,760 --> 01:00:03,560
Speaker 1: later show got a bounce curious play called there by

1183
01:00:03,680 --> 01:00:06,520
Speaker 1: Hugh Jackson and the Bengals and the Browns rather and

1184
01:00:06,600 --> 01:00:09,760
Speaker 1: it proves costly. If one place sums up a season,

1185
01:00:09,840 --> 01:00:12,000
Speaker 1: that might have been it. Robert Griffin. The third was

1186
01:00:12,120 --> 01:00:14,840
Speaker 1: not the spark the Browns hoped for In Cleveland felt

1187
01:00:14,960 --> 01:00:18,120
Speaker 1: oh and thirteen with a twenty three ten loss to

1188
01:00:18,320 --> 01:00:21,920
Speaker 1: the Cincinnati Bengals. In Cleveland, Mark the Browns are now uh,

1189
01:00:22,160 --> 01:00:24,120
Speaker 1: you know, windless at home when it was on the road,

1190
01:00:24,280 --> 01:00:27,320
Speaker 1: and they're running at a time to avoid the unthinkable.

1191
01:00:27,960 --> 01:00:30,520
Speaker 1: They are you got the Bills, the Chargers and the Steelers.

1192
01:00:30,880 --> 01:00:33,240
Speaker 1: Uh left on your schedule. I don't know where the

1193
01:00:33,280 --> 01:00:36,320
Speaker 1: wind comes from there. And you know, for all the

1194
01:00:36,520 --> 01:00:39,800
Speaker 1: trouble that the Bengals have encountered this season, and for

1195
01:00:40,440 --> 01:00:42,560
Speaker 1: as much of a low wattage version they are of

1196
01:00:42,680 --> 01:00:46,840
Speaker 1: last year's team, it's stunning to still look at the

1197
01:00:46,880 --> 01:00:50,760
Speaker 1: separation between where they are and where Cleveland is. It's

1198
01:00:51,240 --> 01:00:54,480
Speaker 1: not a one or two year rebuilding operation in Cleveland,

1199
01:00:54,520 --> 01:00:57,680
Speaker 1: which we knew, but the deep gutting that took place.

1200
01:00:57,920 --> 01:01:00,640
Speaker 1: It's very hard to build an NFL team. And it's

1201
01:01:00,640 --> 01:01:02,800
Speaker 1: another week. I don't think we need to bemoan it

1202
01:01:02,960 --> 01:01:05,680
Speaker 1: for much more than that, where it's just ever present

1203
01:01:05,760 --> 01:01:09,320
Speaker 1: how far away they are from not just really winning

1204
01:01:09,400 --> 01:01:12,200
Speaker 1: games even but being the kind of team that can

1205
01:01:12,240 --> 01:01:14,520
Speaker 1: go seven and nine or eight and eight and be

1206
01:01:14,640 --> 01:01:16,840
Speaker 1: kind of frisky. I mean, we aren't seeing enough of

1207
01:01:16,880 --> 01:01:20,439
Speaker 1: these young players kind of developing down the stretch into

1208
01:01:20,880 --> 01:01:22,920
Speaker 1: players that can take over games. Not at all. How

1209
01:01:23,000 --> 01:01:25,680
Speaker 1: much do you think their chances of winning the game

1210
01:01:26,480 --> 01:01:29,880
Speaker 1: are decreased or do you with r G three at

1211
01:01:29,960 --> 01:01:33,439
Speaker 1: quarterback versus Cody Kessler, who is healthy and ready to play.

1212
01:01:33,600 --> 01:01:35,520
Speaker 1: My only comment there, and I know a lot of

1213
01:01:35,560 --> 01:01:38,200
Speaker 1: Browns fans would disagree with this. Cody Kessel has had

1214
01:01:38,200 --> 01:01:40,000
Speaker 1: two concussions, so I get why they you might just

1215
01:01:40,080 --> 01:01:42,400
Speaker 1: shelve him at this point for the rest of the year,

1216
01:01:42,440 --> 01:01:45,080
Speaker 1: But I don't. I don't understand how r G three,

1217
01:01:45,240 --> 01:01:46,880
Speaker 1: from what we've seen on the field or just in

1218
01:01:47,000 --> 01:01:50,080
Speaker 1: general what he represents, should on any level get in

1219
01:01:50,160 --> 01:01:53,360
Speaker 1: the way of future plans. And he should not be

1220
01:01:53,520 --> 01:01:56,840
Speaker 1: considered as the starter for next season. He's not reliable.

1221
01:01:57,000 --> 01:01:59,200
Speaker 1: They've got to go in a completely new direction, and

1222
01:01:59,320 --> 01:02:01,760
Speaker 1: so why is he starting games in December. I don't

1223
01:02:01,800 --> 01:02:04,400
Speaker 1: know why you'd put him out there over anyone this

1224
01:02:04,520 --> 01:02:08,840
Speaker 1: is a winless team, over anyone that could grow in

1225
01:02:08,920 --> 01:02:11,560
Speaker 1: the role, including Kessler, who has been better than ARG three.

1226
01:02:11,600 --> 01:02:14,040
Speaker 1: Maybe it's as simple as Cody Kessler took such a beating.

1227
01:02:14,200 --> 01:02:16,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I think that's when it comes to somebody

1228
01:02:16,080 --> 01:02:17,920
Speaker 1: else back there that's healthy right now, I think he's

1229
01:02:18,000 --> 01:02:20,720
Speaker 1: essentially they'd like they would like him maybe not to

1230
01:02:20,760 --> 01:02:23,280
Speaker 1: see the field again. That was Edrew Catalan of CBS

1231
01:02:23,480 --> 01:02:24,840
Speaker 1: with the call. By the way, it was sorry to

1232
01:02:24,920 --> 01:02:27,720
Speaker 1: delay that announcement. The Bengals are set up to play

1233
01:02:27,760 --> 01:02:29,720
Speaker 1: the spoiler role more than any team in the NFL.

1234
01:02:29,840 --> 01:02:32,800
Speaker 1: Going down the stretch. They are frisky right now. They

1235
01:02:32,880 --> 01:02:35,200
Speaker 1: have not packed it in. They're playing very well through

1236
01:02:35,240 --> 01:02:38,320
Speaker 1: the injuries. Marvern Lewis coming back. They play the Steelers,

1237
01:02:38,600 --> 01:02:41,640
Speaker 1: then they play at Houston, then they play the Ravens.

1238
01:02:41,800 --> 01:02:45,000
Speaker 1: Three teams right on the edge of the playoffs right now,

1239
01:02:45,440 --> 01:02:47,520
Speaker 1: and the Bengals are not some team that you can

1240
01:02:47,560 --> 01:02:50,840
Speaker 1: just say is a gimme win right now, right I

1241
01:02:50,920 --> 01:02:53,240
Speaker 1: mean you think about teams like them and the Cardinals

1242
01:02:53,400 --> 01:02:56,560
Speaker 1: and the Lions, and that's where I think Kevin was not.

1243
01:02:56,720 --> 01:02:58,560
Speaker 1: There's not that big of a difference between those three teams.

1244
01:02:58,720 --> 01:03:01,520
Speaker 1: I mean, the Cardinals would have won three extra games

1245
01:03:01,560 --> 01:03:03,919
Speaker 1: if Cat and zero wasn't a disaster this year. I'd

1246
01:03:03,960 --> 01:03:06,760
Speaker 1: say one issue with the Bengals that we've mentioned that

1247
01:03:07,720 --> 01:03:10,040
Speaker 1: that showed up again today, which is a concern about

1248
01:03:10,080 --> 01:03:12,040
Speaker 1: them beating anyone down the stretch of taking care of

1249
01:03:12,120 --> 01:03:14,680
Speaker 1: a team like the Steelers. The Browns are the worst

1250
01:03:14,760 --> 01:03:18,400
Speaker 1: pass rushing defense in the NFL, and it's not even close.

1251
01:03:18,840 --> 01:03:22,520
Speaker 1: Four sacks, five quarterback hits, and they derailed the Bengals

1252
01:03:22,560 --> 01:03:25,080
Speaker 1: a number time, a number of times with Keith third

1253
01:03:25,120 --> 01:03:27,720
Speaker 1: down sacks. So you know what happens when you go

1254
01:03:27,760 --> 01:03:30,440
Speaker 1: play a Pittsburgh team that on defense is really emerging.

1255
01:03:31,120 --> 01:03:35,240
Speaker 1: One one last note on on the Browns Terrell Prior,

1256
01:03:35,520 --> 01:03:37,520
Speaker 1: Durell Prior, who has had his moments. What is it

1257
01:03:37,560 --> 01:03:39,920
Speaker 1: he seems to be getting under people's skin. After the game,

1258
01:03:40,000 --> 01:03:43,200
Speaker 1: Hacman Jones made a big spectacle. He said he would

1259
01:03:43,240 --> 01:03:46,240
Speaker 1: only answer questions about Tarrell Prior held up a garbage

1260
01:03:46,320 --> 01:03:50,040
Speaker 1: can and was anything about Terrell Prior any questions? He

1261
01:03:50,040 --> 01:03:52,200
Speaker 1: would signal that Tarrell Prior was in the garbage can.

1262
01:03:52,520 --> 01:03:55,440
Speaker 1: They had some words before the before the game, and

1263
01:03:55,520 --> 01:03:58,680
Speaker 1: I guess dating back to a prior matchup. But Prior

1264
01:03:58,800 --> 01:04:01,120
Speaker 1: has seemed to get on the grid for some people

1265
01:04:01,160 --> 01:04:02,800
Speaker 1: this year. I don't know why. It seems to speak

1266
01:04:02,840 --> 01:04:06,440
Speaker 1: positively in interviews and two games against the Bengals, part

1267
01:04:06,680 --> 01:04:09,479
Speaker 1: right against Pacman Jones, who talks trash about all sorts

1268
01:04:09,520 --> 01:04:12,520
Speaker 1: of people, was having a sneaky great year. This guy

1269
01:04:12,640 --> 01:04:16,880
Speaker 1: is agelessman. He's played really well over the last month.

1270
01:04:20,040 --> 01:04:21,880
Speaker 1: I don't know there there is a second part to that,

1271
01:04:21,960 --> 01:04:23,760
Speaker 1: but I feel like that the whole thing is sailed

1272
01:04:23,760 --> 01:04:27,080
Speaker 1: away at this point, all right. I feel like Prior

1273
01:04:27,120 --> 01:04:28,760
Speaker 1: has been a good soldier. I think I think I

1274
01:04:28,800 --> 01:04:31,160
Speaker 1: would say. I wonder I don't know the answer this.

1275
01:04:31,280 --> 01:04:36,160
Speaker 1: I wonder if people uh that players other people innately

1276
01:04:36,480 --> 01:04:40,000
Speaker 1: um disrespect or looked down on a player who is

1277
01:04:40,040 --> 01:04:43,680
Speaker 1: attempting to switch positions from A to B. I think

1278
01:04:43,720 --> 01:04:45,800
Speaker 1: it would be the opposite to be honest, because you'd

1279
01:04:45,840 --> 01:04:48,160
Speaker 1: have to know how hard that is. But also if

1280
01:04:48,160 --> 01:04:50,640
Speaker 1: you're trying to guard him and he's frustrating to deal with,

1281
01:04:50,800 --> 01:04:55,400
Speaker 1: maybe that's where it's coming. You know what. It's sorry

1282
01:04:55,520 --> 01:04:59,160
Speaker 1: one player on the brownsh I mean he should and

1283
01:04:59,240 --> 01:05:01,080
Speaker 1: he shouldn't, but it it's nice they have that quality.

1284
01:05:01,280 --> 01:05:04,160
Speaker 1: Let's check in with the Around the NFL podcast Other

1285
01:05:04,240 --> 01:05:08,000
Speaker 1: Glory team Petty and the pistol balal pal just behind him.

1286
01:05:08,760 --> 01:05:11,040
Speaker 1: He takes the snack, gives the balal paler, runs left

1287
01:05:12,240 --> 01:05:16,040
Speaker 1: at the ten at the five Jets are gonna win

1288
01:05:16,120 --> 01:05:19,120
Speaker 1: it five over the field goal and balal pal can

1289
01:05:19,240 --> 01:05:22,600
Speaker 1: score a second touchdown of the game and Marty witted

1290
01:05:22,640 --> 01:05:25,400
Speaker 1: for the tests and overtop. Yeah you do you, Bob

1291
01:05:25,480 --> 01:05:30,400
Speaker 1: was Susan of w e Plow. Powell's uh nineteen yard

1292
01:05:30,440 --> 01:05:33,080
Speaker 1: touchdown round and overtime was the decisive play in the

1293
01:05:33,160 --> 01:05:37,120
Speaker 1: Jets twenty three seventeen win over the forty Niners. Uh.

1294
01:05:37,440 --> 01:05:41,360
Speaker 1: The Jets were down fourteen nothing five minutes into this game. Uh,

1295
01:05:41,760 --> 01:05:44,080
Speaker 1: no lollipops to be handed out to the Jets, obviously,

1296
01:05:44,200 --> 01:05:47,040
Speaker 1: but they snapped the four game losing streak and extended

1297
01:05:47,400 --> 01:05:50,720
Speaker 1: uh the Niners losing skid to twelve on a day

1298
01:05:50,840 --> 01:05:54,040
Speaker 1: that a fire Trent Balkie banner flew over Levi Stadium,

1299
01:05:54,080 --> 01:05:57,720
Speaker 1: which was ironic considering John Egzig got canned in part,

1300
01:05:57,800 --> 01:06:01,000
Speaker 1: in my opinion, by a fan movement uh in New

1301
01:06:01,120 --> 01:06:04,360
Speaker 1: Jersey and New York in which banners were flown above

1302
01:06:04,840 --> 01:06:09,560
Speaker 1: Netlife Stadium. Ter decision making. But yes, um I said,

1303
01:06:09,600 --> 01:06:13,360
Speaker 1: in part, uh so yeah, Bryce Petty first past of

1304
01:06:13,400 --> 01:06:16,880
Speaker 1: the game interception, but he showed it showed some showed

1305
01:06:16,960 --> 01:06:19,200
Speaker 1: some things in this game. And this was kind of

1306
01:06:19,280 --> 01:06:22,000
Speaker 1: why West and you and I fundamentally disagree on this,

1307
01:06:22,160 --> 01:06:24,560
Speaker 1: but why I want to see Petty not necessarily to

1308
01:06:24,600 --> 01:06:26,960
Speaker 1: see if he's the starter, but as this guy at

1309
01:06:27,040 --> 01:06:29,280
Speaker 1: least maybe our number two next year, see what he's got.

1310
01:06:29,320 --> 01:06:32,560
Speaker 1: He's shown some things, but very raw. Um right now,

1311
01:06:33,280 --> 01:06:36,480
Speaker 1: as for the Niners, guys, I mean, if you can't

1312
01:06:36,480 --> 01:06:38,600
Speaker 1: win this game, you're not gonna win any games. Well

1313
01:06:38,640 --> 01:06:41,680
Speaker 1: you're playing the Rams, but I don't know that's gonna

1314
01:06:41,680 --> 01:06:44,240
Speaker 1: be quite a battle right there. This keeps the number

1315
01:06:44,280 --> 01:06:47,200
Speaker 1: one pick alive. I mean, the forty Niners they had this.

1316
01:06:47,360 --> 01:06:49,920
Speaker 1: The Browns were in great position. Well, Dan and I

1317
01:06:50,040 --> 01:06:51,880
Speaker 1: were having I mean, I you know, i'd say, Dan,

1318
01:06:51,960 --> 01:06:53,480
Speaker 1: I don't think I've seen you. I don't know if

1319
01:06:53,520 --> 01:06:57,120
Speaker 1: it was. It didn't seem manufactured. It seemed genuine, genuinely

1320
01:06:57,280 --> 01:06:59,920
Speaker 1: kitty during the final couple of minutes of this game,

1321
01:07:00,000 --> 01:07:03,360
Speaker 1: which was nice to see. It's these tough years and

1322
01:07:03,440 --> 01:07:06,480
Speaker 1: Mark you know better than anyone um these tough years.

1323
01:07:06,520 --> 01:07:08,560
Speaker 1: Even though it might have technically hurt the Jets in

1324
01:07:08,600 --> 01:07:10,880
Speaker 1: the long run with their draft standing, it is nice

1325
01:07:10,920 --> 01:07:12,320
Speaker 1: to get a win. I didn't want them to get

1326
01:07:12,400 --> 01:07:15,160
Speaker 1: embarrassed by the forty Niners of all teams, which would

1327
01:07:15,160 --> 01:07:18,480
Speaker 1: have led to another round of Twitter and the and

1328
01:07:18,560 --> 01:07:21,480
Speaker 1: the coach get we don't want that. That's not positive progress.

1329
01:07:21,480 --> 01:07:23,120
Speaker 1: So a little bit of you know, a little bit

1330
01:07:23,160 --> 01:07:25,680
Speaker 1: of the Keith hanss and me who my dad was

1331
01:07:25,760 --> 01:07:28,360
Speaker 1: sending texts all through the In fact, I was not

1332
01:07:28,440 --> 01:07:31,640
Speaker 1: gonna have Keith Hansas, uh even call in for the

1333
01:07:31,720 --> 01:07:35,080
Speaker 1: rest of the season. But he's been so relentlessly pounded

1334
01:07:35,120 --> 01:07:36,880
Speaker 1: by losses and he's a guy that just wants to

1335
01:07:36,880 --> 01:07:39,920
Speaker 1: see his team win that I thought, let's let's have

1336
01:07:40,080 --> 01:07:43,360
Speaker 1: Keith talk about a Jets victory for once the first

1337
01:07:43,400 --> 01:07:48,240
Speaker 1: time all season on this show. I think his name

1338
01:07:48,360 --> 01:07:53,720
Speaker 1: was Keith Dad. He'll doubt about it. He's a big

1339
01:07:54,000 --> 01:08:05,360
Speaker 1: Jets fan, well is he? Well? Great comeback by the

1340
01:08:05,480 --> 01:08:10,560
Speaker 1: Jets first today today? Uh? With that over time victory.

1341
01:08:10,920 --> 01:08:14,840
Speaker 1: As a Jet fan, every win is sweet. Spike, his

1342
01:08:14,960 --> 01:08:20,320
Speaker 1: fourth season, it gave I was renewed with happiness again. Uh.

1343
01:08:21,640 --> 01:08:24,920
Speaker 1: How and folks with the heroes, I'm looking forward to

1344
01:08:25,040 --> 01:08:29,160
Speaker 1: next week. That's a fan, absolutely, And you know you

1345
01:08:29,200 --> 01:08:32,800
Speaker 1: can get and and and since nineteen the Jets have

1346
01:08:32,880 --> 01:08:36,519
Speaker 1: really known nothing but heartache. But my dad just wants

1347
01:08:36,520 --> 01:08:39,240
Speaker 1: to see some wins. On Sundays, he watches the game

1348
01:08:39,400 --> 01:08:41,120
Speaker 1: and he wants to see the Jets. That right there

1349
01:08:41,200 --> 01:08:44,080
Speaker 1: is why the NFL is king, because what the Jets

1350
01:08:44,160 --> 01:08:46,479
Speaker 1: have done to him and the Browns have done to you, Mark,

1351
01:08:46,600 --> 01:08:49,080
Speaker 1: and and you just you come back from where you do.

1352
01:08:49,120 --> 01:08:51,439
Speaker 1: You want to be happy. And I loved here and

1353
01:08:51,640 --> 01:08:53,519
Speaker 1: I love when you. You call him Billy Powell, you

1354
01:08:53,600 --> 01:08:57,880
Speaker 1: were just like pell game twenty nine carries a forty

1355
01:08:57,920 --> 01:09:00,160
Speaker 1: five yards and two touchdowns. I'll take that all day. Mean,

1356
01:09:00,240 --> 01:09:02,479
Speaker 1: you know that the Niners would also take a hundred

1357
01:09:02,560 --> 01:09:04,880
Speaker 1: ninety three yards from Carlos Hide at eleven point four

1358
01:09:05,000 --> 01:09:07,519
Speaker 1: yards per carry. But that's that's separate that. In the

1359
01:09:07,560 --> 01:09:10,360
Speaker 1: first half. Anyway, Chip Kelly took blame for basically sitting

1360
01:09:10,400 --> 01:09:12,320
Speaker 1: on this lead. I don't think he thought Petty could

1361
01:09:12,320 --> 01:09:14,720
Speaker 1: come back on them. You know they can't sit on

1362
01:09:14,800 --> 01:09:17,519
Speaker 1: a lead of seventeen points, seventeen six. I believe in

1363
01:09:17,560 --> 01:09:19,439
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, in the in the found a way

1364
01:09:20,240 --> 01:09:21,760
Speaker 1: and the Niners are still in the mix for the

1365
01:09:21,840 --> 01:09:24,160
Speaker 1: number one pick. Let's move on, which takes us to

1366
01:09:24,439 --> 01:09:32,360
Speaker 1: Sunday Night, Football Night, the nfc ET showdown between the

1367
01:09:32,520 --> 01:09:37,479
Speaker 1: Cowboys and Giants. Chris Westling Winter has come for the

1368
01:09:37,560 --> 01:09:44,560
Speaker 1: Cowboys eleven game winning streak. There's a lollipop. No, no

1369
01:09:44,760 --> 01:09:49,439
Speaker 1: lollipop for you, Chris O'Dell Beckham ended the winning streak.

1370
01:09:49,600 --> 01:09:52,040
Speaker 1: Odell Backham, What did Odell back Hum doing this game?

1371
01:09:52,360 --> 01:09:55,920
Speaker 1: Said Backham? Making the catch and also the racist he

1372
01:09:56,040 --> 01:10:01,760
Speaker 1: goes car chasing him down. Get him touchdown. Giants pitch Yes.

1373
01:10:01,880 --> 01:10:06,719
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham's sixty one yard touchdown UH put the Giants

1374
01:10:06,920 --> 01:10:10,479
Speaker 1: ahead and kept them ahead on Sunday night at the

1375
01:10:10,560 --> 01:10:14,960
Speaker 1: Meadow Ends Atten seven win UH four big Blue over

1376
01:10:15,040 --> 01:10:17,719
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. The Cowboys looser just the second time this season.

1377
01:10:17,800 --> 01:10:21,040
Speaker 1: Both their losses now in Week one and Week fourteen,

1378
01:10:21,080 --> 01:10:24,840
Speaker 1: have come to the same Giants team. The Giants now

1379
01:10:24,920 --> 01:10:30,200
Speaker 1: improve UH to UH what is it? Eight eight and

1380
01:10:30,320 --> 01:10:34,639
Speaker 1: four on the seasoned four of the season and are

1381
01:10:34,720 --> 01:10:37,120
Speaker 1: in prime playoff position. And this was a game Chris

1382
01:10:37,200 --> 01:10:41,719
Speaker 1: westling UH that the Giants offense could not do anything

1383
01:10:41,800 --> 01:10:44,599
Speaker 1: with the exception of that Beckham play, But the defense

1384
01:10:44,640 --> 01:10:46,960
Speaker 1: showed up in a monster way. You have to give

1385
01:10:47,080 --> 01:10:50,880
Speaker 1: Generous Jenkins and the defensive line a ton of credit. Uh.

1386
01:10:51,000 --> 01:10:53,040
Speaker 1: And and Odell Beckham, I think you saw that he

1387
01:10:53,160 --> 01:10:55,720
Speaker 1: can turn a slant into a touchdown like nobody in

1388
01:10:55,760 --> 01:10:59,200
Speaker 1: the NFL. The offensive line had a poor game, Eli

1389
01:10:59,320 --> 01:11:01,240
Speaker 1: Manning had a poor game, and that's what's been happening

1390
01:11:01,280 --> 01:11:04,040
Speaker 1: for the last month. But to me, Odell Beckham didn't

1391
01:11:04,080 --> 01:11:06,559
Speaker 1: win the game for them. Odell Beckham got ten points

1392
01:11:06,600 --> 01:11:08,840
Speaker 1: on the board, which is gonna get you beat you know,

1393
01:11:09,080 --> 01:11:12,080
Speaker 1: all every other week of the season. Against the Cowboys,

1394
01:11:12,120 --> 01:11:15,320
Speaker 1: the Giants defense won the game for them. Fifteen drives

1395
01:11:15,400 --> 01:11:18,960
Speaker 1: for the Cowboys and two hundred sixty yards. They had

1396
01:11:19,040 --> 01:11:21,960
Speaker 1: more drives than they had first downs for the last

1397
01:11:22,080 --> 01:11:25,439
Speaker 1: two weeks. The Jaguars, I mean the Cowboys rather have

1398
01:11:25,560 --> 01:11:28,840
Speaker 1: put up Rams level or Jaguars level production. It's just

1399
01:11:28,960 --> 01:11:31,240
Speaker 1: two weeks. There's no need to panic. But they've had

1400
01:11:31,280 --> 01:11:33,840
Speaker 1: two straight weeks under two hundred and seventy yards, which

1401
01:11:33,840 --> 01:11:36,000
Speaker 1: would be by far the worst any team has in

1402
01:11:36,120 --> 01:11:38,439
Speaker 1: yard a 'all season. It's a problem if you go

1403
01:11:38,520 --> 01:11:44,400
Speaker 1: ahead at Sunday night. Wow, I can't get upset at that.

1404
01:11:44,520 --> 01:11:46,439
Speaker 1: I never will be able to get upset at that.

1405
01:11:47,000 --> 01:11:50,560
Speaker 1: It's just sheer talent coming over the broadcast. It's like

1406
01:11:50,640 --> 01:11:54,000
Speaker 1: a Disney character. I think it's shaking back here, like

1407
01:11:54,040 --> 01:11:57,719
Speaker 1: an anticipation of Markgars, like, Ohe's gonna happen. You're obsessed

1408
01:11:57,760 --> 01:12:00,040
Speaker 1: with Disney, and I'm starting to see that maybe you

1409
01:12:00,280 --> 01:12:01,960
Speaker 1: you know, you have a role in the Disney film

1410
01:12:02,000 --> 01:12:05,280
Speaker 1: at some point. But like you look at you look

1411
01:12:05,320 --> 01:12:07,920
Speaker 1: at the way that Dallas goes this game, and it's

1412
01:12:08,360 --> 01:12:12,200
Speaker 1: their drives are ridiculous. They're all short drives. It's a punt,

1413
01:12:12,479 --> 01:12:15,960
Speaker 1: an interception, a punt, a punt, a punt, a fumble

1414
01:12:16,320 --> 01:12:19,759
Speaker 1: and downs. It's just the opposite of what the formula

1415
01:12:19,840 --> 01:12:22,920
Speaker 1: we talked about with Dallas all season. Long drives that

1416
01:12:23,000 --> 01:12:25,880
Speaker 1: chew up the clock, control the line, the opposite today

1417
01:12:25,960 --> 01:12:29,679
Speaker 1: Zeke Elliott for one oh seven. That so everything looks

1418
01:12:30,840 --> 01:12:33,160
Speaker 1: by the way, he had eighty six yards at halftime

1419
01:12:33,200 --> 01:12:35,600
Speaker 1: compared to eighty four for the entire Giants offense R

1420
01:12:35,760 --> 01:12:37,960
Speaker 1: wow uh so, but he slowed down the second half

1421
01:12:37,960 --> 01:12:40,720
Speaker 1: after a great start. Dak Prescott and here is here

1422
01:12:40,840 --> 01:12:43,360
Speaker 1: is now the big talking point. You know who's you know,

1423
01:12:43,479 --> 01:12:46,080
Speaker 1: Skip Bayliss and Shannon Sharp are doing backflips right now

1424
01:12:46,120 --> 01:12:47,760
Speaker 1: because they have something to talk about for the next

1425
01:12:47,840 --> 01:12:51,120
Speaker 1: five days. Dak Prescott seventeen of thirty seven hundred and

1426
01:12:51,160 --> 01:12:54,559
Speaker 1: sixty five yards, averaging yards for attempt four point five.

1427
01:12:54,880 --> 01:12:58,080
Speaker 1: His first game in his career where he's thrown two interceptions,

1428
01:12:58,120 --> 01:13:00,519
Speaker 1: sack three times, pass rating and forty five point four

1429
01:13:00,760 --> 01:13:03,479
Speaker 1: So a true stinker against the very good Giants defense.

1430
01:13:03,520 --> 01:13:07,639
Speaker 1: But again the Giants defense. Gregg won this game without

1431
01:13:07,720 --> 01:13:10,760
Speaker 1: JPP two, which makes it even more impressive. Yeah, and

1432
01:13:10,840 --> 01:13:15,920
Speaker 1: the credit should go to generous Jenkins for an incredible performance,

1433
01:13:15,960 --> 01:13:19,679
Speaker 1: and Devon Kannard had a nice night and Olivier Vernon

1434
01:13:19,880 --> 01:13:22,519
Speaker 1: had a nice night. But I think we have seen

1435
01:13:23,120 --> 01:13:25,200
Speaker 1: and all credits should go to this Giant's defense, who

1436
01:13:25,200 --> 01:13:27,680
Speaker 1: has been fantastic down the stretch. We've seen now two

1437
01:13:27,720 --> 01:13:29,400
Speaker 1: weeks in a row, and I think that's enough to

1438
01:13:29,880 --> 01:13:34,400
Speaker 1: worry about it that a great defense at home can

1439
01:13:34,520 --> 01:13:39,120
Speaker 1: take down this Cowboys offense. On placed for the clean

1440
01:13:39,200 --> 01:13:43,719
Speaker 1: pocket per Pro Football Focus, Dak Prescott was only seven

1441
01:13:43,800 --> 01:13:46,920
Speaker 1: of one for ninety one yards, one touchdown in two

1442
01:13:46,920 --> 01:13:50,960
Speaker 1: interceptions from a clean pocket. I think the last few weeks,

1443
01:13:52,040 --> 01:13:55,320
Speaker 1: and really look just two weeks ago against Washington, he

1444
01:13:55,520 --> 01:13:59,160
Speaker 1: lit it up. Baltimore slowed him down for about a half,

1445
01:13:59,280 --> 01:14:02,200
Speaker 1: but then he figured things out and responded. But these

1446
01:14:02,280 --> 01:14:04,599
Speaker 1: last two weeks, you've seen defenses throw a lot at

1447
01:14:04,640 --> 01:14:06,880
Speaker 1: him in terms of looks, in terms of disguises, and

1448
01:14:07,040 --> 01:14:08,960
Speaker 1: they've had a lot of talent that helps, and the

1449
01:14:09,040 --> 01:14:11,280
Speaker 1: offensive line wasn't as dominant as we're used to seeing.

1450
01:14:11,360 --> 01:14:15,120
Speaker 1: I mean, I just we just got done praising a

1451
01:14:15,360 --> 01:14:17,720
Speaker 1: resurgent Packers team that we know is going to go

1452
01:14:17,800 --> 01:14:20,880
Speaker 1: to the playoffs that three weeks ago looked like an

1453
01:14:20,920 --> 01:14:24,320
Speaker 1: utter trash heap on defense. Teams go through these ups

1454
01:14:24,360 --> 01:14:26,920
Speaker 1: and downs, these byrothms, or they just change. They change.

1455
01:14:26,960 --> 01:14:31,160
Speaker 1: But Dak Prescott also is up until you know, outside

1456
01:14:31,200 --> 01:14:33,880
Speaker 1: of two games, answer the call every single week. I

1457
01:14:34,320 --> 01:14:38,200
Speaker 1: I will not tolerate a bunch of chatter about oh

1458
01:14:38,800 --> 01:14:41,240
Speaker 1: a bench him. Now, well you know what, will stay

1459
01:14:41,280 --> 01:14:44,479
Speaker 1: at home, stay in my house. He's gonna yeah, he'll

1460
01:14:44,520 --> 01:14:47,920
Speaker 1: get criticized, and there will be criticized for this game,

1461
01:14:48,080 --> 01:14:50,719
Speaker 1: and that's fine, and and and there will be idiots

1462
01:14:50,760 --> 01:14:52,280
Speaker 1: that come out and say, now it's time to get

1463
01:14:52,320 --> 01:14:54,720
Speaker 1: Tony Romo in the mix, which you should ignore and

1464
01:14:54,960 --> 01:14:57,479
Speaker 1: unfollowed and block anybody that does that because Dak has

1465
01:14:57,520 --> 01:15:00,400
Speaker 1: earned much more rope than that at this point. But

1466
01:15:00,760 --> 01:15:02,439
Speaker 1: I would say, if you're if you want to spend

1467
01:15:02,439 --> 01:15:06,200
Speaker 1: positive as Cowboys fan, that it's good. If you're gonna

1468
01:15:06,280 --> 01:15:10,080
Speaker 1: hit a bump in the road early to mid December, okay,

1469
01:15:10,160 --> 01:15:11,800
Speaker 1: you still have time to kind of figure out what

1470
01:15:12,200 --> 01:15:14,599
Speaker 1: how teams are adjusting to you. Maybe you can tie

1471
01:15:14,720 --> 01:15:17,400
Speaker 1: up some issues here, loose ends and then move forward

1472
01:15:17,439 --> 01:15:19,320
Speaker 1: because you're still in great position to get the first

1473
01:15:19,360 --> 01:15:21,840
Speaker 1: seat you are, And I think that's right then, and

1474
01:15:21,920 --> 01:15:24,560
Speaker 1: I think it just it just shows how important I

1475
01:15:24,640 --> 01:15:27,280
Speaker 1: think these next three weeks are. Regardless of what they're seeing,

1476
01:15:27,600 --> 01:15:30,120
Speaker 1: they're playing a good Bucks defense. Next week, they're gonna

1477
01:15:30,120 --> 01:15:32,400
Speaker 1: get the line. I think it's important for a rookie

1478
01:15:32,520 --> 01:15:34,960
Speaker 1: quarterback and you know, a rookie running back in a

1479
01:15:35,080 --> 01:15:39,519
Speaker 1: team that has one fewer playoff games in the last

1480
01:15:39,680 --> 01:15:42,000
Speaker 1: twenty years than the than the Seahawks of you know,

1481
01:15:42,080 --> 01:15:44,439
Speaker 1: one in the last two years, I think it's important

1482
01:15:44,479 --> 01:15:47,160
Speaker 1: for them to close out strong and get a little

1483
01:15:47,160 --> 01:15:50,439
Speaker 1: bit of the stink off. Prescott's third in the league

1484
01:15:50,479 --> 01:15:53,960
Speaker 1: and fumbles, so I know every everyone loves how careful

1485
01:15:54,000 --> 01:15:55,240
Speaker 1: he's been to the ball. He's third in the league

1486
01:15:55,240 --> 01:15:57,160
Speaker 1: in fumbles, and now he's got a couple of picks here.

1487
01:15:57,200 --> 01:15:59,640
Speaker 1: So it's just something you've got to clean up. Well,

1488
01:15:59,720 --> 01:16:03,120
Speaker 1: there you have it, Wes. You're annoyed because you had

1489
01:16:03,160 --> 01:16:06,240
Speaker 1: the Giants figured out and now they got another win.

1490
01:16:06,280 --> 01:16:09,040
Speaker 1: They're probably going to the playoffs. Mannoy because I'm competitive

1491
01:16:09,080 --> 01:16:12,400
Speaker 1: and I wanted that lollipop. But the Giants, the Giants

1492
01:16:12,479 --> 01:16:15,960
Speaker 1: defense just deserves a ton of credit. Yeah, And and

1493
01:16:16,120 --> 01:16:18,120
Speaker 1: I have all My friends from back home in the

1494
01:16:18,200 --> 01:16:21,040
Speaker 1: cold town are Giants fans, and they were, you know,

1495
01:16:21,120 --> 01:16:24,759
Speaker 1: texting all game freaking out about Eli Manning with good reason.

1496
01:16:24,960 --> 01:16:27,760
Speaker 1: Let's see what as West has said, this offense still

1497
01:16:27,840 --> 01:16:29,880
Speaker 1: looks broken, and let's see if they could they can

1498
01:16:29,920 --> 01:16:32,760
Speaker 1: figure out in these last three weeks. Because if they do,

1499
01:16:33,000 --> 01:16:36,040
Speaker 1: if they West, if they can somehow pull themselves out

1500
01:16:36,080 --> 01:16:38,320
Speaker 1: of which is more than a slump right now, pull

1501
01:16:38,400 --> 01:16:41,360
Speaker 1: and figure something out, they are dangerous in January. As

1502
01:16:41,360 --> 01:16:45,360
Speaker 1: we've learned before, which reminds me Rodney Harrison come back

1503
01:16:45,439 --> 01:16:48,200
Speaker 1: to us here the first did he picked the Patriots

1504
01:16:48,240 --> 01:16:50,120
Speaker 1: and this is this is falls under the realm of

1505
01:16:50,200 --> 01:16:53,160
Speaker 1: gas station criticism. Went to the gas station night last

1506
01:16:53,240 --> 01:16:54,839
Speaker 1: night to fill up my tank. You know how sometimes

1507
01:16:54,880 --> 01:16:57,720
Speaker 1: they have those videos playing. They had Dan Patrick and

1508
01:16:57,800 --> 01:17:01,280
Speaker 1: Rodney Harrison and Rodney harrisons and analysis was it's gonna

1509
01:17:01,280 --> 01:17:03,400
Speaker 1: be a tough matchup for that Cowboys secondary because the

1510
01:17:03,479 --> 01:17:07,679
Speaker 1: Giants attack downfield with Eli Manning in that great downfield offense.

1511
01:17:07,920 --> 01:17:09,479
Speaker 1: And I'm thinking, is this guy mailed it in for

1512
01:17:09,520 --> 01:17:12,800
Speaker 1: the entire season. Eli's got the worst downfield offense in

1513
01:17:12,800 --> 01:17:16,600
Speaker 1: the NFL this year. Do your homework dog, do your homework. It.

1514
01:17:16,680 --> 01:17:19,080
Speaker 1: It was remarkable in a game that's as big a

1515
01:17:19,120 --> 01:17:21,639
Speaker 1: win the Giants have had in a while, that you're

1516
01:17:21,680 --> 01:17:25,200
Speaker 1: not letting Eli Manning throw the ball in the fourth quarter,

1517
01:17:25,360 --> 01:17:26,880
Speaker 1: and when they do let him throw the ball, he
