Speaker 1: be listening. Thanks for making us part of your day.

14
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 1: So I want to start. It was a wild game

15
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 1: last night, a fitting conclusion two teams. I don't think

16
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 1: you're gonna win a playoff game regardless of who won

17
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:06,679
Speaker 1: last night. But all year long on Pittsburgh I kept

18
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 1: going back to this well. I kept saying, they don't

19
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:13,039
Speaker 1: do anything I like. Except Aaron Rodgers at forty two

20
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:17,040
Speaker 1: years old was the one thing every Sunday I was like, Yeah,

21
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:20,959
Speaker 1: I trust Aaron. He hasn't thrown a pick since what

22
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 1: November and the Steelers have a lead, they blow to coverages.

23
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:31,120
Speaker 1: Zay Flowers is wide open multiple times, allowing seven and

24
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:34,399
Speaker 1: a half yards of play. Lamar Jackson fourth quarter, up

25
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 1: and down the field. And the other thing is nobody

26
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 1: gets open with the Steelers. You notice this, Aaron Rodgers

27
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 1: second half of the season with no dk Metcalf last

28
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:47,040
Speaker 1: two weeks, seventy three percent completion percentage, passer rating well

29
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 1: over one hundred PFF, has the receiving core at twenty

30
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 1: ninth that was rated on the season with dk Metcalf,

31
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 1: It's thirty second without him. And here's Aaron who doesn't

32
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 1: run much anymore, in a functional offense that really hasn't

33
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 1: run the ball consistently for seven years, an offensive line

34
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 1: that's been okay, inconsistent for seven years in pass protection,

35
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 1: and he pulls it all together. You got a little

36
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 1: Warren here, you got a Friar move there. Pittsburgh's just

37
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 1: not very good at anything. They even missed an extra

38
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 1: point last night. Blown coverage is everywhere, and yet Aaron

39
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 1: Rodgers in the second half of that game, no DK Metcalf,

40
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 1: had his best half of the year. No timeouts, he

41
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 1: had to burn two of those because the Milwonkee headset,

42
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:41,080
Speaker 1: his defense has given up bombs from Lamar Jackson as

43
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:44,919
Speaker 1: a flowers. They just didn't do anything consistently well all

44
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 1: season long. And yes he can be prickly and moody

45
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 1: and a bit arrogant, but for a forty two year

46
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 1: old with this receiving corps, this defensive head coach, inconsistent

47
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 1: run game to not throw a pick since November ninth,

48
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers gets my comeback player of the Year because

49
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,519
Speaker 1: at green Bay there was no chaos. He had good

50
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 1: offensive lines, he had good weapons the Jets. He was

51
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 1: hurt most of it. But in Pittsburgh you think, well,

52
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 1: it's Pittsburgh. They knew some things right. Not really. They

53
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 1: didn't do anything well all year. They didn't really have

54
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 1: dependable assets green Bay did. I mean even DK Metcalf

55
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:28,119
Speaker 1: couldn't keep it together this year. Eventually takes a swing

56
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 1: of a fan two biggest games of the year, he's

57
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,919
Speaker 1: not available for either. So Aaron Rodgers in the second

58
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 1: half of the season, and we all know the second

59
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 1: half is the toughest half. I mean, you saw San Francisco.

60
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 1: You run out of players, you don't have all your tackles.

61
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 1: You don't have backups. Look at Aaron's second half numbers outstanding,

62
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 1: one hundred and one passer rating, fourteen tens, four picks.

63
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 1: The Steelers are in the playoffs. It's not to the Tomlin,

64
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 1: it's not to the defense. It's not because of the

65
00:03:56,560 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 1: run game. It's not because the DK metcalf. It's that

66
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 1: forty two year old Aaron Rodgers that can drive people

67
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 1: nuts and can be a little moody. Was outstanding that

68
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 1: made function and formality a real thing for kind of

69
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 1: a quicksand offense for the better part of seven to

70
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 1: eight years. They're in barely thanks to a missfield goal.

71
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:27,480
Speaker 1: Here's Aaron and the coach after.

72
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 3: It's been a grinding here and two years before that

73
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 3: what's up as well. So it's been it's been an

74
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 3: absolute blessing to be here with these fans, in this

75
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,039
Speaker 3: organization and Mike t and a leadership that we got

76
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,280
Speaker 3: with these guys, and you know, I think we just

77
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 3: we found that little bit that's something special, which is

78
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 3: belief tonight on the offensive side, and I'm proud of

79
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:52,839
Speaker 3: our guys the way we responded in the fourth quarter.

80
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,360
Speaker 4: We married him from afar for a long time. It's

81
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,840
Speaker 4: good to do it with him. But again, as I've

82
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 4: said multiple times here in recent weeks, this was the

83
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:09,599
Speaker 4: vision in the spring when we pursued him. That's why

84
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 4: you do business with a forty one, forty two year

85
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 4: old guy. Been there, done that, guy with a resume

86
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:18,480
Speaker 4: like his is. He's not only capable man, he thrives

87
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 4: in it, and I think he put that on display tonight.

88
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 1: Now they're an underdog at home on that final wild

89
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:30,840
Speaker 1: card weekend of playoffs next week, and everybody loves Houston.

90
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 1: I will just remind you that Mike Tomlin's been terrible

91
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:40,599
Speaker 1: on short week Thursday games. Mike Tomlin's been virtually unbeatable

92
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 1: on Monday night football games. Steelers as a home dog

93
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:51,719
Speaker 1: with the motivator Mike Tomlin against the Houston Texans, do

94
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:58,160
Speaker 1: not be shocked if Aaron Rodgers in Pittsburgh, forty two

95
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:02,719
Speaker 1: years old finds him self advancing. I love Houston, but

96
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:08,719
Speaker 1: Monday Night Tomlin is magical. Speaking of magical, the best

97
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 1: game of the weekend in terms of kind of awe

98
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:16,359
Speaker 1: inspiring wow was Seattle's defense completely shutting down the hottest

99
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 1: offense in the NFL San Francisco in the Bay Area.

100
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,159
Speaker 1: Seattle is the odds on favorite to win the Super Bowl.

101
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:27,919
Speaker 1: They are long, fast, twitchy, athletic, Christian McCaffrey and Brock

102
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 1: Purty out of sorts. A big part of it is

103
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,479
Speaker 1: the fact that their general manager, in my opinion, the

104
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 1: best personnel guy in the league, Howie Roseman may make

105
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 1: the best trades, John Snyder is the best personnel guy.

106
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 1: If you go to the Seahawks first and second round

107
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 1: picks nine of them in the last four years. Pete

108
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:51,720
Speaker 1: left the building, he took over. They are nine for nine.

109
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 1: They don't miss. And this Seattle team, as somebody from

110
00:06:56,240 --> 00:07:01,119
Speaker 1: the Northwest, it does remind me of the last great

111
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 1: Seattle team that had a defensive coach and was mostly

112
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 1: led by a great run game and a defense. And

113
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 1: they had a quarterback the other team, but he wasn't

114
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 1: really a unifier. He and Pete Carroll never really saw

115
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 1: eye to eye, and that's the difference. Everybody in that

116
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 1: building loves Sam Darnald. Everybody in San Francisco, USC Minnesota

117
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 1: loves Sam Darnald. He's a relatable guy. Quarterbacks always get

118
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 1: special treatment. You can't ask for it. That Seattle team

119
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 1: was packed, but Yoa's heard things that the players didn't

120
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 1: quite connect. With Russell Wilson, he saw himself at times

121
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 1: above the team. Fair not that's what you heard. You

122
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 1: never hear that with Donald, the GM the coach his

123
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 1: teammates constantly after games defending if he has an interception,

124
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 1: and the reason being is because Donald owns it, doesn't

125
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 1: seek special treatment one of the guys, and that really matters.

126
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 1: There's the old stories about Tom Brady that would walk

127
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 1: up to rookies when he was in year seventeen and go, Hi,

128
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 1: my name is Tom Brady. Of course everybody knew that

129
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 1: he was, but the fact that Brady would reach out

130
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 1: was a way to communicate and connect with a twenty

131
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 1: two year old out of Rutgers. That's Donald's secret sauce.

132
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 1: Yes he's athletic, Yes he's got a great arm, Yes

133
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 1: he's aggressive, Yes he can run make plays with his feet.

134
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 1: But it's that relatability and in life, look at who

135
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 1: vouches for people. Kyle Shanahan loved him, Kevin O'Connell loved him.

136
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:50,320
Speaker 1: Mike McDonald his biggest fan. This Seahawks team reminds me

137
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 1: of that but more unified. Yes, both have a run

138
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:59,079
Speaker 1: game led by their defense defensive coach, but the quarterback,

139
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:05,320
Speaker 1: old athletic this time feels more galvanized, more unified, and

140
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 1: they are the odds on favorite to win the Super

141
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 1: Bowl after Saturday night shutting down McCaffrey, Purty and Kyle

142
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:15,440
Speaker 1: Shenhan's red hot offense. Here's Darnold.

143
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 5: I'm taking it one day at a time. It's it's

144
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 5: been a whirlwind, just the NFL season, just preparing one

145
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 5: week at a time. It's that's the best part about

146
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,559
Speaker 5: it is like, you know, you celebrate a win like this,

147
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 5: and then tomorrow you might celebrate a little bit too

148
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 5: because you gotta buy. But we're right back to seeing

149
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 5: what we can do better and how we can get

150
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 5: better for the next game. And that's the beautiful thing

151
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:39,200
Speaker 5: about you know, the NFL and what we do.

152
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 1: It's I mean, no mah Homes, no Lamar Jackson, no

153
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow, and we're not sure what to make of

154
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 1: Josh Allen's defense. So it's a very interesting year. I

155
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 1: think one of the trends that's happened in the NFL

156
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 1: over the last couple of years, the bottom of the

157
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 1: league is awful. The New York teams are unwatchable and

158
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 1: mostly awful. It didn't used to be like that. It

159
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:04,559
Speaker 1: feels a little NBA, and the reason for that is

160
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:08,840
Speaker 1: it's quarterback dependent. If you don't have one and you

161
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 1: don't have the right coach to elevate what you do have,

162
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:15,079
Speaker 1: it gets ugly fast. So this is going to be

163
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 1: a very unique year where Jacksonville could win it all,

164
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:22,840
Speaker 1: will bow Nicks or Sam Darnold hoist a trophy. What

165
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:26,200
Speaker 1: are we to make of Philadelphia? We love the roster,

166
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 1: but we're not sure about the coach and the quarterback.

167
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 1: And it's a coach quarterback league. It's a wide open playoffs.

168
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 1: I'm not even a fan of Pittsburgh, but everybody's counting

169
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:41,320
Speaker 1: them out. Tomlin on Monday is a home dog. You

170
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:45,199
Speaker 1: have to bet Pittsburgh. You have to bet Pittsburgh is

171
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 1: a home dog on Monday with Mike Tomlin. That's the

172
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:51,839
Speaker 1: one everybody's talking about yesterday. Everybody's going, oh, this is

173
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:57,440
Speaker 1: an entertaining game, but these teams can't win a playoff game. Tomlin,

174
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:02,840
Speaker 1: home dog against an offense struggles. You know, Pittsburgh is

175
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 1: I mean, there's only one guarantee in this league. If

176
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 1: the Jets play, they will not get an interception. That's

177
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 1: the only thing. Statistically, they could play another thirty games

178
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:15,440
Speaker 1: they would not get an interception. J Mac, I do

179
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 1: not remember a wild card round where if you told

180
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 1: me there were four upsets, I would not be shocked.

181
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,439
Speaker 6: Yeah. See, I'm shocked that you're all in on the

182
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 6: Steelers here. Wow, loving Pitt for Monday Night. I think

183
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 6: what they undefeated? Since you know nineteen seventy one or

184
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:33,080
Speaker 6: some crazy set.

185
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 1: How about this? Kevin Stefanski, Pete Carroll, Jonathan Gannon all

186
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:41,319
Speaker 1: fired this morning Herd lines coming up. I would hire

187
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:45,079
Speaker 1: Kevin Stefanski in Las Vegas, in a New York mine.

188
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 6: If I'm the Jets, I consider moving on from Aaron

189
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:49,200
Speaker 6: Glenn to grab Stefanski before someone else does.

190
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 1: But Cleveland makes a lot of mistakes. I think this

191
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 1: is one of them. I would hire in one second.

192
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 1: Kevin Stafans heartbeat, No, no question. Yeah.

00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 1: All right, welcome back. I do not remember seeing a

208
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:43,319
Speaker 1: wild card round of the playoffs where there's almost nothing

209
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:47,680
Speaker 1: I'm sure of. I said almost The Rams will beat Carolina.

210
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 1: It's a ten and a half point spread. I'd probably

211
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:52,439
Speaker 1: stay away from that. Here are the games to look at.

212
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:57,960
Speaker 1: I mean, Sunday is gonna be absolutely epic. So I

213
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:01,199
Speaker 1: mean Denver and Seattle a first round by I think

214
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 1: Seattle wants to play. If I was that young, that aggressive,

215
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 1: playing that well, if I was Seattle, I'd want to play.

216
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 1: So I don't know what the Eagles are. Who knows

217
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:12,840
Speaker 1: what the Bears are? In fact, the two number two

218
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 1: seeds New England Chicago, aren't they still in rebuilds? Like

219
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 1: the Patriots O line still in a rebuild. The Bears

220
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,959
Speaker 1: defense still in a rebuild. So what are we supposed

221
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 1: to make of Chicago, who yesterday for the first three

222
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:30,599
Speaker 1: quarters the offense was flat and couldn't score. Maybe the

223
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:34,960
Speaker 1: Chicago Bears who are now a home underdog to green

224
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 1: Bay in the wild card round and green Bay hasn't

225
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 1: won a game in a month. So I look at

226
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 1: Chicago and I think, if Chicago loses, do we chalk

227
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:46,840
Speaker 1: it up to Well, the first stage of Ben Johnson.

228
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 1: He got him to a two seed. No more sacks

229
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,960
Speaker 1: for Caleb Williams. He's healthy. He's gone from like some

230
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:57,720
Speaker 1: thought of buss to wildly dynamic. I don't know what

231
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 1: to make of Philadelphia. I love the roster, don't love

232
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:03,720
Speaker 1: the coach, the quarterback, eh and I don't know now

233
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 1: suddenly what to make of Chicago. Now they were number

234
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 1: two in big plays, number six in total offense, but

235
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,559
Speaker 1: they gave up more big plays than all but about

236
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 1: three teams in the league. So when you get to

237
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 1: the playoffs, it's about all three phases special teams. Ask Baltimore,

238
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 1: you get into these big games, you got to make

239
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 1: your kicks. Yeah, I mean, Seattle dominates San Francisco only

240
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 1: wins thirteen to three because that first drive they went down,

241
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 1: went for it, got no points for it. So here

242
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 1: is Ben Johnson on the two game losing streak, and

243
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 1: you know Caleb was magical late in the game, but

244
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 1: was invisible early.

245
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 9: And here's the coach stakes are a lot higher here

246
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 9: going forward. We can't afford to have a phase one

247
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 9: of our three phases play like we did today, and

248
00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:00,040
Speaker 9: so we're going to have to pick it up. And

249
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 9: like I said, I get fired up just thinking about

250
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 9: it right now, and I know our guys are too.

251
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 1: There's an argument that the most complete team is Jacksonville,

252
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 1: and very few people have watched them. They went to

253
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 1: Denver and did something nobody else seemed to be able

254
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 1: to do, destroy the Broncos on the road. So you

255
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 1: start looking at it Rams, Panthers. I think we all

256
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 1: like the Rams. I would take the Bears at home

257
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 1: as a dog, little extra motivation. That's going to be

258
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 1: a wild scene in Chicago. I like Jacksonville to beat

259
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 1: Buffalo and bounce Josh Allen round one. I do. I

260
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 1: think Philadelphia the Niners are limping into that game. If

261
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 1: Pearsol and Trent Williams play, they've got a shot. Jay

262
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 1: Merck is very hot on the Chargers. I think New

263
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 1: England's one of those teams because they got they went

264
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 1: from bad to this good. Nobody quite buys into New England.

265
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 1: I do, And I thought I came into the weekend,

266
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 1: I thought Texan Steelers when they you got a Monday

267
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 1: night game, Pittsburgh's a dog. One of the great underdog

268
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 1: coaches in this league, especially on Monday, is Mike Tomlin.

269
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 1: Outside of the Rams in Carolina, no outcome would surprise

270
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 1: me this weekend. None.

271
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 6: By the way, Rams are double digit favorites ten and

272
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 6: a half.

273
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 1: So I but by the way, they lost their three

274
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 1: weeks ago, which actually helps them.

275
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 6: It is like November thirtieth. But yes, I would agree.

276
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 6: So Chargers Patriots. What's the weakness of the Chargers column

277
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 6: O line?

278
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 1: Right?

279
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 6: Do you know the Patriots are like twenty fifth in

280
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 6: pressure rate and they blitz at like league average. They

281
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 6: can't get to the quarterback. Pressure is not their thing.

282
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 6: That's great for Justin Herbert in the pocket. And then conversely,

283
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 6: Jesse Minter's defense doesn't give up big place. What does

284
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 6: Drake may live off of Big Place? So I think

285
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 6: first time starter for May. I already bet Chargers three

286
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 6: and a half. I really liked I think they went

287
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 6: out right.

288
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 1: Yeah.

289
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 6: Oh, who's a better coach in that game?

290
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 1: By the way, why does somebody have to be better?

291
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 6: Well, who gets the advantage?

292
00:16:57,600 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 1: I don't think there's any advance really, I think it's

293
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:00,960
Speaker 1: two great coach.

294
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 6: I looked this up last night. Do you remember the

295
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 6: last time vrabel won a playoff game? What year it was? No,

296
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 6: twenty nineteen.

297
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:10,000
Speaker 1: Oh, it's not that long ago. Sixth For the record,

298
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:12,480
Speaker 1: I would argue the weakness of both the Patriots and

299
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 1: Chargers is the old line. Yes, I think that's absolute,

300
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:20,640
Speaker 1: and the run games have been inconsistent. They're very very similar.

301
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 1: Is that we still think Harbaugh has to improve the

302
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:28,119
Speaker 1: old line, and we had real questions about the receiving corps.

303
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:30,399
Speaker 1: But the Chargers of receiving core is actually okay. And

304
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 1: we had real questions about the old line for New

305
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 1: England and their receiving core, and their receiving cores has

306
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:38,680
Speaker 1: exceeded any any prediction.

307
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 6: By the way, for your West Coast team going away,

308
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 6: Drake May's comp is justin Herbert.

309
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:46,159
Speaker 1: I mean, coming out of college, people said he's like

310
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:47,359
Speaker 1: he'll be the East coast, Herbert.

311
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 6: It's not bad. By the way.

312
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:48,680
Speaker 1: The weather.

313
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 6: I know you're a big West coast going east. No snow,

314
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:56,200
Speaker 6: no fringid temperatures, high thirties, low forties. That's like La

315
00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 6: weather in the morning. Five am out here.

316
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 1: Now J Mack with a news This is the Herdline News.

317
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 6: Con Let's start with a lot of breaking news on

318
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 6: Black Monday. In the NFL, so three head coaches are out.

319
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 6: Kevin Stefanski in Cleveland, Pete Carroll with the Raiders, and

320
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:18,480
Speaker 6: Jonathan Gannon the most recent of the Arizona Cardinals. I'm

321
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 6: surprised by Stefanski. Six years in Cleveland, two time Coach

322
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:23,919
Speaker 6: of the Year, got to the playoffs twice. Pete Carroll,

323
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 6: it was a disaster, but they've now gone one and done,

324
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:29,359
Speaker 6: basically two years in a row with Pierce and Carol.

325
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 6: That's not a great look. Jonathan Gannon, I mean they

326
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:34,719
Speaker 6: lost nine straight. They were listless for two months.

327
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:38,720
Speaker 1: Well, he's a defensive coach, so Arizona's defensive coach. The

328
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:41,679
Speaker 1: defense kind of quit. The Jets are going to keep

329
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,000
Speaker 1: Aaron Glenn and that's the worst defense in the league.

330
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:48,439
Speaker 1: Pete Carroll felt out of sorts. There was some friction

331
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 1: in Seattle about his son on the coaching staff. There

332
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:54,360
Speaker 1: was friction. Chip Kelly quit this year, his son again

333
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:57,200
Speaker 1: on the coaching staff, So that there's a lot of

334
00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 1: stuff there that hasn't been reported much, but it's it's

335
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:04,160
Speaker 1: I've heard through trustable, various sources. That was a fissure,

336
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:07,640
Speaker 1: a bone of contention. So Pete kept saying, we're all

337
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:10,119
Speaker 1: good here. Everybody in the world knew it was over.

338
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 1: I think what's interesting. Stefanski of the Raiders makes so

339
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 1: much sense because they're getting Mendoza and young quarterbacks. We've

340
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 1: seen it through the league. It can be Liam Cohen,

341
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:25,640
Speaker 1: it can be Ben Johnson. Young quarterbacks need teachers calm

342
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,879
Speaker 1: this whole. Brian Flores, Brian Dable. I like both of

343
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 1: them a lot. They are intense. Yeah, they are blowing

344
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:33,480
Speaker 1: up start over guys.

345
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 6: There's a theory that it would be Flores as the

346
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 6: head coach. Babel is doc. That's a lot of comple

347
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 6: around there. Well, let's not get into it. I'm just

348
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 6: curious of those six we saw on the screen. Six

349
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:48,160
Speaker 6: jobs are open currently Titans as well. Falcons is open

350
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:51,359
Speaker 6: as well. Of those six, is there one that jumps

351
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:53,919
Speaker 6: out that you think is the best job on Now?

352
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 6: The Raiders have the number one pick, Titans had them

353
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 6: won last year.

354
00:19:56,840 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 1: Have Kim Warri Well, the Giants have Jackson dart feeling

355
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:02,720
Speaker 1: is he is good enough if he can stay out

356
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 1: of the blue tent to be a franchise quarterback. And

357
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 1: I've been saying this for years. I think the Giants

358
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 1: actually have talent. They can't get their leadership.

359
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 6: Here obviously as a red flag. Joe Shane they announce

360
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 6: is staying. He's the gm who butcher Daniel Jones butcher'd

361
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 6: sain Kwon Barkley. If you want to go work for

362
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 6: that guy, obviously, that's you're asking me.

363
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 1: What's the best of a sorry lot?

364
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 6: It's very sorry. I got chickens, Okay.

365
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:27,959
Speaker 1: I have my left tackle. I'll get Scataboo. I've got

366
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:30,880
Speaker 1: a franchise quarterback four years. I don't have to pay him. Nay.

367
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 1: I've got Abdul Carter, I got pass rushers, Eliite Neighbors

368
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:39,359
Speaker 1: comes back. Giants have what the number, They're gonna get

369
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:42,159
Speaker 1: a star somewhere. They'll probably go get a right tackle.

370
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:45,679
Speaker 1: So again, Jackson Dart's been better than I thought. If

371
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:47,920
Speaker 1: you're giving me Jackson dark Scataboo a left tackle, a

372
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 1: number one wide receiver, they have to go get a

373
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 1: tight end, but they've got pass rushers. I think the

374
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 1: Giants are the best of this situation.

375
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 6: Interesting over the Raiders, who have the number one pick

376
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 6: and a certain guy in the front office who's the

377
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:01,679
Speaker 6: greatest quarterback in the history of football. I mean, he's

378
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:03,920
Speaker 6: gonna walk into those meetings and pluck down a bunch

379
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:05,120
Speaker 6: of Super Bowl rings on the table.

380
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:05,640
Speaker 1: Is he playing?

381
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 6: He knows a little about football. I think they're gonna

382
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 6: be okay, Yeah, all right. Let's move on to the

383
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:15,920
Speaker 6: Rams Colin interesting win for them over the Cardinals thirty

384
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:19,920
Speaker 6: seven to twenty Matthew Stafford. Very strong game. Rams weren't

385
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:23,280
Speaker 6: buttoned up defensively. But let's focus on Stafford, who McVeigh

386
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:25,160
Speaker 6: believes is the only choice for MVP.

387
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:28,920
Speaker 1: I think Matthew's the MVP of the league. He played

388
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 1: that way. Wouldn't want anybody else leading the way.

389
00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:33,400
Speaker 6: Got a lot of respect for a bunch of people

390
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:35,359
Speaker 6: in this league, but there's nobody I'd rather.

391
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:37,159
Speaker 7: Have be in the quarterback of the LA Rams than

392
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 7: Matthew Stafford.

393
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:44,960
Speaker 1: His play speaks for itself. Well. Some people insinuated they

394
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:49,160
Speaker 1: dialed up more pass players for Stafford in the late

395
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 1: going to help stats. Listen, I think I think you

396
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 1: can go either way. I will say I think top

397
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 1: to bottom, the Rams have more talent than New England

398
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 1: right now, so if you look at it and go

399
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 1: But I would argue that Stafford plays in a much

400
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:06,639
Speaker 1: tougher division. By far, I think the NFC West is

401
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 1: the best division. I don't have a problem either the way.

402
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:11,680
Speaker 1: I love both guys. May is doing more with less.

403
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:16,560
Speaker 1: Stafford did more period In terms of I'm listen, when

404
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:19,159
Speaker 1: you play, I have to play Kyle Shanahan twice and

405
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:23,040
Speaker 1: Sala and the Seahawks defense twice. That is a handful.

406
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:25,399
Speaker 1: You know, Drake May got the Jets twice in the

407
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:27,200
Speaker 1: Dolphins circus easiest schedule.

408
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:29,159
Speaker 6: There are some people are some of the metrics in

409
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:31,639
Speaker 6: the last decade at least no easiest schedule.

410
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:33,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, New England had a pretty easy run.

411
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:35,719
Speaker 6: Another reason I like the Chargers by the way Rams

412
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 6: get DeVante Adams back and apparently Lake in the back

413
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:40,840
Speaker 6: end of the secondary is coming back. Quentin Lake's coming

414
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:43,679
Speaker 6: back he is. Do you remember what happened against aid Panthers.

415
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 6: They had a couple of bomb yes sounds. You know

416
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 6: what times they got to the red zone against the

417
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:51,400
Speaker 6: Rams Panthers one time in the whole game defensive touchdown.

418
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think Quinton Lake is one of those guys

419
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:56,959
Speaker 1: that's not talked about in the league. Rams see him

420
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:59,639
Speaker 1: as he's a nickel, as a huge asset. And you

421
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:02,960
Speaker 1: have noticed they have been resting Davonte Adams, so their

422
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 1: offense has been uneven. A lot of it's the red

423
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 1: zone stuff with Davonte. So Davante comes back, you don't

424
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 1: rely on Pooka as much. The tight ends yesterday once

425
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:13,399
Speaker 1: again we're huge for the Rams.

426
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:17,359
Speaker 6: I think Rams Rams is the coast. Yeah, final story

427
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 6: Colin Dallas Cowboys boy. They had a nine game win

428
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 6: streak against the Giants that was snapped yesterday. Jackson Dark

429
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 6: doing some fun things. I thought Jackson Dart was nice.

430
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 6: Now Deak Prescott again, it's week eighteen. They were doing

431
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:31,359
Speaker 6: the one two three can coon thing in the huddle.

432
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:34,159
Speaker 6: You know, Dak Prescott fumble had like seventy yards passing.

433
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:34,880
Speaker 1: They pulled him.

434
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 6: After whard Deak Prescott says, coming up short of the

435
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:42,679
Speaker 6: Super Bowl, super Bowl playoffs, Buddy is getting.

436
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:47,919
Speaker 8: Old, tired of it. I've got to deal with it. Yeah, sure, tired, right,

437
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:49,959
Speaker 8: But it's up to me to control. And that's why

438
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 8: I say this year was as frustrating as anything is. Right,

439
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:53,919
Speaker 8: There's been enough a number of times being up here

440
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 8: talking to you guys and right saying I need to

441
00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:57,359
Speaker 8: fix this, I need to get better at this, and

442
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:01,399
Speaker 8: you know, to have a season where it wasn't on

443
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 8: my play or you know, I can't say any I

444
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:04,359
Speaker 8: should have fixed that, or I should have fixed that.

445
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 8: I mean, I take accountability, don't get me wrong, and

446
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:10,399
Speaker 8: in so many ways, and that the leader I am.

447
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:13,159
Speaker 8: I'm frustrated, always trying to figure out what could have

448
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 8: done better, you know, if there was whether it was

449
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 8: conversations here or talking to this guy there or whatever

450
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:18,159
Speaker 8: it may be.

451
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:23,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, if you're not going to take coaching seriously

452
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 1: and you're gonna try to get value, you know, Jerry

453
00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 1: Jones always says, every time I seek value, that's what

454
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 1: I get. I get a discount. Well, look at your

455
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:32,680
Speaker 1: coaching staff.

456
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 6: So they will be drafting twelve. They're back into the

457
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 6: second is terrible. Caleb Downs would be a massive home

458
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:42,000
Speaker 6: run from I don't think he's gonna be there at

459
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 6: twelve Colin looking on the board, I think Dad hurts.

460
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:48,520
Speaker 1: Dallas is that if Dante more doesn't come out, and shouldn't,

461
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:52,360
Speaker 1: you're not getting four or five quarterbacks overdrafted, like next

462
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:55,399
Speaker 1: year seven quarterbacks maybe first round next year's yeah. So

463
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:57,720
Speaker 1: this year we thought Cade klub Nick and we thought

464
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,240
Speaker 1: Drew Aller, and those guys are fourth and fifth round

465
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:03,960
Speaker 1: picks probably. So the problem is Caleb Down's going to

466
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:04,919
Speaker 1: get gobbled up by the.

467
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:05,399
Speaker 2: Eighth or night.

468
00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 6: What Seattle is doing with their safeties and secondary, like,

469
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 6: there's some things. Safeties are becoming a new chest BEEAs

470
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:13,720
Speaker 6: Kyle Hamilton last night he goes out for the Ravens,

471
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:16,399
Speaker 6: the defense falls apart like some of these safeties, and

472
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 6: I think Downs could be a box and coverage safety.

473
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:21,160
Speaker 6: He's a really good especially with the new tight end stuff.

474
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 6: Team's going three tight ends.

475
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:25,480
Speaker 1: It's funny to watch the NFL got cyclical. We running

476
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:28,119
Speaker 1: backs got downgraded and then all of a sudden, Christian

477
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:31,200
Speaker 1: McCaffrey and everybody looks around and it's like and you

478
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:33,639
Speaker 1: watch scataboo, and you watch these young guys and Derick

479
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 1: Henry and Bijon, You're like, oh no, they actually matter.

480
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:39,159
Speaker 1: Jonathan Tanner last year and everybody bail safety has never

481
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:42,199
Speaker 1: got paid for years and years and now now one

482
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:45,879
Speaker 1: of the trends is certain organizations love safeties. I mean

483
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:50,680
Speaker 1: the Broncos, you know, the Rams. What you talked about.

484
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:54,640
Speaker 6: Seattle, Seattle's Seattle becoming a blueprint defensively McDonald is he's

485
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:55,160
Speaker 6: freaking good.

486
00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, J mack with the news.

487
00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:00,879
Speaker 2: Well, that's the news, and thanks for stopping the herd

488
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:01,919
Speaker 2: line new Well.

489
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:05,720
Speaker 1: I always think this, if you've got kids and you

490
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:09,680
Speaker 1: draw up a will, what kid is the executor of

491
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 1: the will? It's the one you trust when you're gone.

492
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:17,160
Speaker 1: It's the one you trust the grown up of the kids.

493
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 1: So Sean Payton, Denver's got a bye number one seat.

494
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:28,680
Speaker 1: Sean Peyton never babysitting or pandering to Bonnicks. Not only

495
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 1: does bo Nicks have twenty four wins in two years

496
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 1: in a division with harbonn jesse mentor Andy Reidon Spags,

497
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:41,560
Speaker 1: it's like a great defensive division top quarterbacks, bo Nicks

498
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:44,480
Speaker 1: is the first quarterback ever to lead the NFL in

499
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:48,440
Speaker 1: his first two seasons in passing attempts. In this era

500
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:53,359
Speaker 1: of football, that's called trust and responsibility. So when I

501
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 1: hear this thing, well, it's just Sean Peyton's play calling. Yeah,

502
00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:00,760
Speaker 1: you're right, it is about Sean Payton's play calling, loading

503
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:05,359
Speaker 1: up bow Knicks with every play in the playbook. I

504
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:07,639
Speaker 1: remember when Big Ben came into the league Miami of

505
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:11,200
Speaker 1: Ohio to Pittsburgh and for two years they baby sat him.

506
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:13,920
Speaker 1: He never threw the ball. It was defense and run game.

507
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 1: So in my take on bow Nicks says, you can

508
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:21,920
Speaker 1: tell how good he is by what Sean Payton puts

509
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:25,800
Speaker 1: on his plate. He's thrown at forty two forty three

510
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:27,879
Speaker 1: times a game. I mean last night Aaron Rodgers, who

511
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:31,560
Speaker 1: forty seven times? That told you who Mike Tomlin trusted

512
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, not his run game. So I mean it's

513
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:42,160
Speaker 1: fourteen and three in that division with harbaughn Jesse Minter,

514
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:46,760
Speaker 1: with Spags and Andy Reid is an accomplishment. Here's bo

515
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:48,359
Speaker 1: Nicks on the number one seed.

516
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:51,720
Speaker 2: It's the best possible position to be in.

517
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:56,040
Speaker 1: You know, two home games is where we want to be.

518
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 10: It's better than having to play on the road, and

519
00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:00,119
Speaker 10: it's better than having to play an extra games. So

520
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:03,399
Speaker 10: I think for US is the best case scenario. And

521
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:06,840
Speaker 10: you know, it'll be good to play here because of

522
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:10,200
Speaker 10: our stadium and the atmosphere. I think that'll apply a

523
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:13,240
Speaker 10: little bit more pressure and then but at the end

524
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:15,520
Speaker 10: of the day, it's you know, it's an open tournament.

525
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:20,520
Speaker 10: It's going to be, you know, a really good opportunity

526
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:22,200
Speaker 10: to play really good teams.

527
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:25,960
Speaker 1: Listen, we saw it in college football. We're only one

528
00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:30,880
Speaker 1: team with extra rest, Indiana one of football. I think

529
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:34,760
Speaker 1: Seattle is better off playing than getting a bye. I

530
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 1: think Seattle's youth and their energy and the momentum. If

531
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:42,720
Speaker 1: I was Seattle, I'd want to play. I you know,

532
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 1: I feel a little bit the same for Denver. I

533
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 1: don't love getting out now. Philadelphia by all means, take

534
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 1: a week off. San Francisco is a team if they

535
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:55,960
Speaker 1: could take a week off, get Trent Williams or Ricky

536
00:28:56,560 --> 00:29:00,480
Speaker 1: Pierce all healthy. But you know, for anybody who doubts

537
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 1: bo Knicks, twenty four wins two seasons, and it's the

538
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 1: playbook that Sean Payton has foisted on bon Knicks. He's

539
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:13,680
Speaker 1: the executor of this will they have dumped every play

540
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:16,800
Speaker 1: on him, and sometimes in that division with those DC's

541
00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:21,000
Speaker 1: and those head coaches, it's a little inartistic, just a

542
00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:28,320
Speaker 1: little so Colin Wright, Colin wrong. Next hour, Also, the

543
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:31,920
Speaker 1: draft order is out and it sends a message. Also,

544
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:37,360
Speaker 1: I think he won't win Coach of the Year, but

545
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:39,880
Speaker 1: if I had a vote, I would vote him coach

546
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:41,960
Speaker 1: of the year. That's next in LA. It's the hurd.

547
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of the Herd weekdays

548
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:48,600
Speaker 2: and noone Easter not a em Pacific.

549
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:53,400
Speaker 6: Tonight, it's a big ten hoops doubleheader on FS one.

550
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:57,320
Speaker 6: First at six eastern thirteenth rank Nebraska takes on Bruce

551
00:29:57,400 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 6: Thornton and Ohio State. Then at a thirty USC battles

552
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 6: coach Izzo and his ninth rank Spartans. It all tits

553
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 6: off tonight, only on FS.

554
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:12,960
Speaker 1: One, oh Colin Right, Colin Wrang. Starting Thursday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday,

555
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:15,360
Speaker 1: it is going to be the best five day sweep

556
00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:20,960
Speaker 1: of football in America. It's going to be unbelievable. I'm

557
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:24,120
Speaker 1: telling you right now, I'm making chicken enchiladas. I may

558
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:29,000
Speaker 1: not leave the couch for five days. So I actually

559
00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:32,280
Speaker 1: this morning started laughing looking at this. Go look at

560
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:35,560
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty six NFL draft order. Tell me if

561
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:38,160
Speaker 1: these are familiar teams. At the top of a draft.

562
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:42,840
Speaker 1: Vegas has the number one pick, followed by the Jets, Arizona, Tennessee,

563
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 1: four Giants five, Cleveland six, Washington seven, New Orleans eight,

564
00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:51,400
Speaker 1: Rinse and repeat. Might as well be it could be

565
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:54,480
Speaker 1: one of any of the last eight years. New England

566
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:58,360
Speaker 1: was on that puppy recently, and why aren't they? How

567
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:02,240
Speaker 1: did the New England Patriot escape being in that top ten.

568
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 1: A smart owner in Robert Kraft admitted his mistake Gerrod Mayo,

569
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 1: good assistant, not a head coach, wasn't stubborn and then

570
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:17,960
Speaker 1: hired a very expensive best coach on the market, Mike Rabel.

571
00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:20,800
Speaker 1: You know who else did that? The Bears they're in

572
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:24,760
Speaker 1: the playoffs. The Broncos, they're in the playoffs. The Chargers

573
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:28,760
Speaker 1: with Hardball, they're in the playoffs. They all hired like Vrabel,

574
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:32,840
Speaker 1: the perceived and true best coach on the market. Look

575
00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:36,440
Speaker 1: at the head coaches of these top eight teams. Drafting

576
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:41,400
Speaker 1: one of them Kevin Stefanski would have any market. So

577
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:46,000
Speaker 1: I think people forget this. A lot of owners, and

578
00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:48,560
Speaker 1: I mean seventy five percent of owners, it may be

579
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:51,080
Speaker 1: seventy five percent, they don't want to spend big money

580
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:54,480
Speaker 1: on a coach. New York Giants won't, New York Jets won't,

581
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:59,320
Speaker 1: Cincinnati won't, Arizona, the Bidwells won't, Dallas won't. Jerry Jones

582
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 1: won't spend money on a coach. McCarthy, Jason Garrett, chan Gaily,

583
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 1: he had Bill Parceales. He don't like it. So New

584
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:11,760
Speaker 1: England didn't want to perpetually be one of those teams,

585
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:15,920
Speaker 1: so they wrote a massive check. And but these owners

586
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:20,440
Speaker 1: are cheap, they're insecure, they're driven by ego. They want

587
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:24,080
Speaker 1: to be they want to be the centerpiece of an organization.

588
00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:26,280
Speaker 1: They know they have to have a good quarterback, and

589
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 1: they try to find one. They don't want that coach

590
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:30,160
Speaker 1: running the show and kicking them out of the office.

591
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:34,120
Speaker 1: So I mean, the prime example is Joe Burrow, second

592
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:36,200
Speaker 1: year in a row, missed the playoffs. What's the first

593
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:40,080
Speaker 1: thing Cincinnati does this morning announced they are bringing back

594
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:45,640
Speaker 1: the coach. Okay, in Cincinnati, I'd bring in Kevin Stefanski.

595
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:49,320
Speaker 1: They're not going to do that. So Mike Rabel was

596
00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:54,520
Speaker 1: not cheap. Either was Ben Johnson, Jim Harbaugh, Sean Payton.

597
00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:59,640
Speaker 1: Here's Rabel on a year one, basically a nine month

598
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:02,560
Speaker 1: complete turnaround by his franchise.

599
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:05,320
Speaker 11: You got the right guys in the building at the

600
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:08,840
Speaker 11: right time, and we got a good quarterback play. We

601
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:11,680
Speaker 11: figured out how to not beat ourselves. I think we

602
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 11: played our an identity and you guys make plays.

603
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:17,080
Speaker 1: That's that's what happens.

604
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:19,280
Speaker 11: We are the second seed and we're going to host

605
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:22,840
Speaker 11: Chargers and we start over you when wins are in

606
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:25,120
Speaker 11: our matter is going to be the ones that we can.

607
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:32,520
Speaker 1: Get moving forward. So as good as Rabel is, there's

608
00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:35,160
Speaker 1: an argument to be made the coach of the Year

609
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:40,240
Speaker 1: should be Kyle Shanahan. They finished the regular season twelve

610
00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:43,560
Speaker 1: and five. I don't know how they did it. Say

611
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:47,320
Speaker 1: this out loud. You play in the toughest division in football,

612
00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:50,720
Speaker 1: certainly the best coach division in football. You have to

613
00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:55,520
Speaker 1: start a backup quarterback, a backup who they threw out

614
00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:59,960
Speaker 1: of Jacksonville eight times. Your two best defenders, Fred Warner

615
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:04,040
Speaker 1: and Bosa, both Hall of famers. Yeah, they got hurt.

616
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:07,680
Speaker 1: Plus your first round pick on defense got hurt. You

617
00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:10,759
Speaker 1: don't have a number one wide receiver. Brandon Aiyuk no

618
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:13,440
Speaker 1: show this year, and by the way, his backup, Ricky Pearsall,

619
00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:18,560
Speaker 1: also missed half dozen games. So the composition of rosters

620
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:22,440
Speaker 1: in the Seattle San Francisco game was so heavily towards Seattle.

621
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:25,239
Speaker 1: Pearsall's out, Trent Williams out, and they were actually in

622
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:28,480
Speaker 1: that game in the fourth quarter. So the leading receivers

623
00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:32,800
Speaker 1: for the Niners this year were a running back, Christian McCaffrey,

624
00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:36,720
Speaker 1: and a seventh round pick. And they are a twelve

625
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:40,200
Speaker 1: and five team in the toughest division in football, best

626
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:42,240
Speaker 1: three teams at the top of any division in football.

627
00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:45,600
Speaker 1: I thought it was unbelievable coaching. I mean, at least

628
00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 1: Mike Vrabel gets the Jets twice and Miami twice. I mean,

629
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:54,800
Speaker 1: you watched that game Seattle and San Francisco, did you

630
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:57,440
Speaker 1: not feel from the first drive on, especially if you

631
00:34:57,480 --> 00:34:59,080
Speaker 1: were at the game at a friend that was at

632
00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:04,080
Speaker 1: the game, like Seattle is everywhere you go. Seattle's team speed,

633
00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:08,160
Speaker 1: didn't even San Francisco didn't even match up, didn't look

634
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:10,759
Speaker 1: like they should be on the same field. So here's

635
00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:14,719
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan after kind of getting manhandled against Seattle.

636
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:18,000
Speaker 12: We need to play better than that. I was proud

637
00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:19,920
Speaker 12: that they kept battling and was able to hold him

638
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:22,040
Speaker 12: to thirteen points. That's what gave us a chance there

639
00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:25,920
Speaker 12: at the end. But we need to play better all around.

640
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:26,640
Speaker 12: We're ready for it.

641
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:27,440
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, it was.

642
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:29,160
Speaker 6: It would have been nice to, you know, have to

643
00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:31,600
Speaker 6: have a home game here or both home games and.

644
00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:33,880
Speaker 1: Get it by but it is what it is.

645
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:35,399
Speaker 6: I mean, this team's been through a lot this year,

646
00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:36,480
Speaker 6: and now we got to do it the hard way

647
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:39,080
Speaker 6: and won't brace it job doing the hard way and

648
00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:40,560
Speaker 6: look forward to it now.

649
00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:43,719
Speaker 1: I have said this, it's been my criticism and it's

650
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:46,360
Speaker 1: not just Shanahan, it's John Lynch and I and I

651
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:49,239
Speaker 1: and I know John and I love him. The downside

652
00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:52,799
Speaker 1: to getting old in this league. You know, the second

653
00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:55,480
Speaker 1: oldest team in the league this year, JMC knows this, Washington.

654
00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:58,800
Speaker 1: They fell apart physically. So you look again at the

655
00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:02,480
Speaker 1: composition of San Francis goes roster, Trent Williams, old hurt,

656
00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:06,320
Speaker 1: George Kittle, Christian McCaffrey, a lot of hits. Fred Warner

657
00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:08,719
Speaker 1: is I wouldn't say old, probably just moving out of

658
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:12,240
Speaker 1: his prime Bosa. So a lot of San Francisco's issue

659
00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:16,160
Speaker 1: Seattle is young and young players when they get hurt,

660
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:21,640
Speaker 1: heal more quickly. San Francisco, I think may need to

661
00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:24,799
Speaker 1: consider moving some pieces a little bit because they are now.

662
00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:28,280
Speaker 1: They moved Ufunga up, a very good safety who himself

663
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:31,200
Speaker 1: gets hurt. But when you watch San Francisco, I was

664
00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:33,200
Speaker 1: saying that if they can get Trent Williams and Ricky

665
00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:35,520
Speaker 1: Pearsol are healthy, they could go to Philadelphia and win

666
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:38,080
Speaker 1: that game. But if you start looking at that roster

667
00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:43,200
Speaker 1: in this league, the league's getting younger. Washington and San

668
00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:47,239
Speaker 1: Francisco felt to me old going into a season, and

669
00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:51,400
Speaker 1: you know what happened, You fell apart. So here are

670
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:55,359
Speaker 1: the playoff schedules again for this weekend starting Saturday, where

671
00:36:55,360 --> 00:37:01,960
Speaker 1: the Rams are a big favorite at Carolina and again Carnellla.

672
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:03,640
Speaker 6: My bad.

673
00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:06,920
Speaker 1: Quentin Lake is back at safety for them and Devonte

674
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:10,080
Speaker 1: Adams back, So the Rams are a huge ten and

675
00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:13,319
Speaker 1: a half point favorite. I think one of the odyssees

676
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:18,960
Speaker 1: of the playoffs is Chicago is a home underdog after

677
00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:21,680
Speaker 1: that game against San Francisco when they flexed and showed

678
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:25,920
Speaker 1: their offense lost, but played really really well offensively. I

679
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:28,920
Speaker 1: think people look at that Detroit game and betters and

680
00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:32,879
Speaker 1: the don't know what to do with Chicago. Green Bay

681
00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:36,399
Speaker 1: has not won a game in a month. Jordan Love

682
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:38,800
Speaker 1: is he one hundred percent? Matt Lafleur was on the

683
00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:41,479
Speaker 1: hot seat at the end of the season, and green

684
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:45,040
Speaker 1: Bay is favored in that game Saturday. Is that nuts?

685
00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:49,680
Speaker 1: That is a why? I mean, I think Chicago should

686
00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:50,239
Speaker 1: be favored to win.

687
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:52,800
Speaker 6: So you saw the two matchups, right, the first matchup,

688
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:54,839
Speaker 6: we would agree the Packers are the better side led.

689
00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:58,120
Speaker 6: I think the whole game it was tied. Sometimes. Second matchup,

690
00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:02,120
Speaker 6: Packers up sixteen six with two minutes left in Chicago

691
00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:05,800
Speaker 6: without Jordan Love and no Micah, and the Bears needed

692
00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:08,920
Speaker 6: like a late field goal, an on side kick, and

693
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:11,080
Speaker 6: then the walk off touchdown passed by Caleb. There's a

694
00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:14,360
Speaker 6: lot of luck involved there. I had wanted Bears. This

695
00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:16,760
Speaker 6: is a stayaway game for me. I'm nervous for your guys.

696
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:21,160
Speaker 6: First time quarterbacks in the NFL playoffs historically do not farewell.

697
00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:24,040
Speaker 1: So you're betting against Drake and Mat.

698
00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:27,439
Speaker 6: I'm definitely betting against Drake May and against Bryce Young

699
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:29,520
Speaker 6: Caleb could be the one. I don't know what to

700
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:31,759
Speaker 6: do with that game. If you know how the Boxers, Hey,

701
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:34,240
Speaker 6: there was eight rounds. There were eight quarters, Packers Bears.

702
00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:40,200
Speaker 6: Did the Bears win any of those quarters? Any? I

703
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:41,960
Speaker 6: mean maybe the overtime the ninth quarter.

704
00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:45,160
Speaker 1: Now you know my favorite bet of the weekend. I

705
00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:51,160
Speaker 1: think Jacksonville could hammer Buffalo. Oh, that's my last time,

706
00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:54,080
Speaker 1: jack Allen. When's the last time Jacksonville didn't play well?

707
00:38:55,600 --> 00:38:58,279
Speaker 1: I mean Jacksonville. They don't have a great they don't

708
00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:00,560
Speaker 1: have a great number of sacks, but they rush. They're

709
00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:02,840
Speaker 1: very good at getting pressure on the quarterback, kind of

710
00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:05,080
Speaker 1: like the Belichick Patriots. They don'tlead the league in sacks,

711
00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:07,399
Speaker 1: but they get pressure. They run the ball, they don't

712
00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:10,320
Speaker 1: turn it over. Now, Liam Cohen who got into that

713
00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:14,200
Speaker 1: early season scrapped with Robert Salah Jacksonville's there's an argument

714
00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:16,240
Speaker 1: they're the best team in the league not named the Seahawks.

715
00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:18,239
Speaker 6: So crazy stat I saw they have not allowed a

716
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:21,880
Speaker 6: seventy five yard rusher this season. Seventy five. So if

717
00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:24,879
Speaker 6: James Cook can't get loose, it literally is Josh Allen

718
00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:27,960
Speaker 6: against the world. And that is a tall order for him.

719
00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:29,160
Speaker 6: What's the line on that you said?

720
00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:33,080
Speaker 1: I one Jacksonville was a one point dog dog. That's

721
00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:36,840
Speaker 1: a lot of rescis. I think my favorite pick is

722
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:38,359
Speaker 1: Jacksonville at home.

723
00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:40,719
Speaker 6: Are we sleeping on Trevor Lawrence at all? I mean,

724
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:42,560
Speaker 6: he's been amazing, he said everything.

725
00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:44,759
Speaker 1: I think there's a couple of things that play one.

726
00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:48,799
Speaker 1: It's hard to unsee stuff right, Like we've seen Jacksonville

727
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:50,759
Speaker 1: over the last four or five years. They just make

728
00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:54,080
Speaker 1: a lot of mistakes. I'm as guilty as anybody. I'm

729
00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:57,920
Speaker 1: just now considering them a top three team. But you

730
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:01,680
Speaker 1: know it's what I watch Vrabel go to New England.

731
00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:04,600
Speaker 1: I predict, yeah, they're gonna make the playoffs because I

732
00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:08,640
Speaker 1: have a lot of equity built up watching Rabel play.

733
00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:11,279
Speaker 1: You watch Jacksonville the last decade, you're like, oh, it's

734
00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:14,799
Speaker 1: a squirrely franchise, that weird Blake Bortles team, but they

735
00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:17,560
Speaker 1: just you don't trust them in big spots. This Jacksonville

736
00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:20,839
Speaker 1: team good on the road, good and close games. They've

737
00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:22,879
Speaker 1: blown people out multiple time.

738
00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:26,320
Speaker 6: Spit it forward, Jacksonville wins. Was it thirty to twenty?

739
00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:30,160
Speaker 6: Do the Bills consider moving on from McDermott they will

740
00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:34,240
Speaker 6: have backsplit every year. Sin since being in that amazing

741
00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:36,799
Speaker 6: AFC title game against Mahomes, is.

742
00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:40,480
Speaker 1: There an argument that the people not in the AFC playoffs,

743
00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:45,520
Speaker 1: Lamar Burrow and Mahomes, puts immense pressure on Buffalo. I

744
00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:48,719
Speaker 1: don't think the pressure's on Jacksonville. I think all the

745
00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:53,080
Speaker 1: pressure's on Buffalo, Yo Burrow, Mahomes or Lamar Jackson And

746
00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:55,799
Speaker 1: you've got Josh Allen to perceived one of the great

747
00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:59,759
Speaker 1: four in the AFC, and you're playing squirrely Jacksonville, which

748
00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:03,000
Speaker 1: has really no home field advantage at all. Buffalo will

749
00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:04,560
Speaker 1: have twenty thousand people down there.

750
00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:07,440
Speaker 6: And remember Burrow and Mahomes, it's they get they got paid,

751
00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:09,880
Speaker 6: and it's tough to build around. Maybe this is the

752
00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:12,359
Speaker 6: last hurrah for the Bills in Josh Allen because he's

753
00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:15,880
Speaker 6: got his big deal. That would be to so does

754
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:18,760
Speaker 6: Stefanski and everybody wait to see what happens in Buffalo

755
00:41:18,840 --> 00:41:22,239
Speaker 6: before jumping off the job. Absolutely. I mean, well, what

756
00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:24,680
Speaker 6: do you do if Buffalo loses to Jacksonville? You go

757
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:25,480
Speaker 6: coach Josh Allen?

758
00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:28,560
Speaker 1: You there? You the owner has to have a long

759
00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:30,360
Speaker 1: conversation moving into the new stadium.

760
00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:31,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, own new stadium.

761
00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:32,160
Speaker 1: That's right.

762
00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:32,640
Speaker 8: Yeah,
