They are on They won 39 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,320 Speaker 2: last night at Cleveland State. They're near the top of 40 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:10,040 Speaker 2: the Horizon League standings. Doug step the focusing on basketball 41 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:13,920 Speaker 2: in late December, so we've kind of taken over the 42 00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,360 Speaker 2: rains here over the last couple of weeks.

It's everybody's hanging out and having a 67 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,920 Speaker 2: good time. And Sean McVay, he's got friends as well. 68 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,120 Speaker 2: The rams head coach getting set for a showed out 69 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,919 Speaker 2: with the Chicago Bears. Maybe getting some I don't think 70 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 2: it's insider info, Manci, but maybe just getting some help 71 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 2: on how to defend the Chicago Bears from a friend 72 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:41,800 Speaker 2: of his that happens to be the head coach of 73 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:45,640 Speaker 2: the Green Bay Packers, Matt Lafleur. Here's Sean McVay talking 74 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 2: about maybe any assistance he's getting from his buddy in 75 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 2: advance of what's happening on Sunday night, not ously. 76 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 5: And your stuff. 77 00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 2: He's three times, Yeah, what'd you guess? Now? You know what, 78 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 2: we watched the tape. We do our work, and you know, 79 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 2: Matt is a very close friend of mine. Leaving that 80 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 2: close friend to think that they don't share information, I 81 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 2: think would be foolish, no matter no matter who it is. 82 00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,040 Speaker 2: And I point out to the fact that in this 83 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 2: coaching tree, and there are a lot of coaching trees 84 00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:27,679 Speaker 2: in the National Football League, but Robert sala At it 85 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 2: is now, but at one point was, you know, with 86 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,479 Speaker 2: Kyle Shanahan and San Francisco. So there's a relationship with 87 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:38,240 Speaker 2: McVeigh and Shanahan working together. Lafleur working with McVeigh and 88 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:41,720 Speaker 2: so there's they're all everything is weaved together. There was 89 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:44,080 Speaker 2: a point last year when Robert Sala was dismissed as 90 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,800 Speaker 2: the Jets head coach. He ended up going to a 91 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,680 Speaker 2: few Green Bay practices, helping out Matt Lafleur and the 92 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:52,680 Speaker 2: Packers and seeing what he saw on defense. So those 93 00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:57,360 Speaker 2: those things aren't necessarily uncommon in the National Football League. 94 00:04:57,760 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 2: And Sean mcvay's answer, I think tells you all you 95 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 2: need to know. But then I was wondering, Manzi, all right, 96 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 2: if Sean McVay is getting all the horses lined up 97 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:10,240 Speaker 2: or people are letting him get information, the SAME's got 98 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:13,039 Speaker 2: to be happening for Ben Johnson in Chicago, right. Ah, 99 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 2: I don't know, Dan, Oh, Yeah, you're right, absolutely right. 100 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,800 Speaker 2: I don't know if there is either. And that's what 101 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:24,920 Speaker 2: I am wondering, not does Ben Johnson have any friends? 102 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 2: But are there people there that want to help out 103 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:30,640 Speaker 2: Ben Johnson? Because there are people that are apparently helping 104 00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:33,040 Speaker 2: out Sean McVay, and I think this is a bigger 105 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:36,360 Speaker 2: picture on who the Bears are. In one year, Chicago 106 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:41,640 Speaker 2: has gone from and also ran that made crazy, crazy 107 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:45,240 Speaker 2: mistakes and found unbelievably weird ways to lose football games 108 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:48,560 Speaker 2: last year, so now being the second seed in the NFC, 109 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:53,080 Speaker 2: being the NFC North champions, and Ben Johnson has gone 110 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 2: viral for a lot of reasons, whether it be ripping 111 00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 2: off of his shirt, the quick handshakes that he's had 112 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 2: with Matt Lafleur. You'll probably come up with some others. 113 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,240 Speaker 2: But the Bears have had great success this year, and 114 00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:06,360 Speaker 2: I'm not sure how many people like it. So I'm 115 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:09,800 Speaker 2: wondering does Ben Johnson even have friends that will help 116 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,080 Speaker 2: him out to try to beat the Los Angeles Rams. 117 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,919 Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know, because the tree that you described 118 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:18,880 Speaker 3: with Sean McVay and Matt Lafleur, that tree runs deep, 119 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 3: and I feel like if the Packers were still in 120 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:27,600 Speaker 3: it and preparing for their own game, maybe maybe they're not. 121 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 3: He's not getting that much help right because he's working 122 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,000 Speaker 3: on his own thing. But the fact that Matt Laflor's 123 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,080 Speaker 3: got time right now, Scott time, what else is he doing? Also, 124 00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:37,160 Speaker 3: like you said, one of the videos that we'll probably 125 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 3: won't forget for a while is their final handshake that 126 00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,000 Speaker 3: just happened a week ago. I know there was another 127 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:45,039 Speaker 3: handshake also where Matt Lafleur kind of was the one 128 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 3: that was quick with it, but this one, you know, 129 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 3: Ben Johnson took it to the next level. Like I 130 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:50,839 Speaker 3: when I saw that video, I was like, oh, I 131 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 3: would have I would have grabbed his hand when he 132 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 3: tried to walk away. But then you see that Matt 133 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,800 Speaker 3: laflor did it first, It's like, okay, okay, obviously there 134 00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:01,200 Speaker 3: is some sort of tension here, which we love as 135 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:04,120 Speaker 3: the outsider getting to wash this unravel and so there's 136 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:05,840 Speaker 3: so much to it. But yeah, Mettlefloor has a time 137 00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:08,960 Speaker 3: to go talk to his buddy and Ben Johnson, who's 138 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:12,280 Speaker 3: he gonna call? Aaron Glenny doesn't want to call him. 139 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,120 Speaker 2: Who is he gonna help him? With zero interceptions? Hey, 140 00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:17,400 Speaker 2: a man, are you gonna call? Hey? It's Ben? How 141 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,520 Speaker 2: do you not pick off passes? Do give me? How 142 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 2: do you tell me how do you not catch Matthew 143 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,040 Speaker 2: Stafford's passes? Because our defense needs to know. That's what 144 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:27,800 Speaker 2: you would ask her, That's what you would ask I 145 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 2: think it's interesting because we would think that maybe he 146 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:35,120 Speaker 2: would lean on Dan Campbell. But then again, this is 147 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 2: a team in the Detroit Lions and the Chicago Bears 148 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 2: that are now division rivals. Maybe we don't know how 149 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:44,640 Speaker 2: much the relationship between the two was while they were 150 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:48,200 Speaker 2: working together, even though Johnson stayed for a year longer 151 00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:50,840 Speaker 2: than we thought. But I remember the Lions beating the 152 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:54,120 Speaker 2: Bears fifty two to twenty one in Week one of 153 00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:57,120 Speaker 2: this NFL season, and I also remember the Lions winning 154 00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,480 Speaker 2: nineteen to sixteen at the end of the year, and 155 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:02,920 Speaker 2: which could have maybe changed the playoff picture. Ultimately it didn't, 156 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:06,040 Speaker 2: as the Bears ended up being the two seed because 157 00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:08,960 Speaker 2: the Eagles didn't win their game. However, the point is is, 158 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:11,280 Speaker 2: I don't think that there are places that Ben Johnson 159 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:14,680 Speaker 2: can can turn to. I think that Ben Johnson is 160 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:16,320 Speaker 2: a bit of a lone wolf. I think that Ben 161 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:19,160 Speaker 2: Johnson likes that. I think Ben Johnson likes to be 162 00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:23,200 Speaker 2: the smartest guy in the room. He was extremely picky 163 00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:26,280 Speaker 2: in terms of the places and the opportunities that he 164 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:29,320 Speaker 2: could have gone, and I think there's something there's something 165 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:32,800 Speaker 2: good about that. But in the last what day or so, 166 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:36,640 Speaker 2: Monci we were talking about how much America seems to 167 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:39,880 Speaker 2: love the Buffalo Bills. I think that the other side 168 00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,240 Speaker 2: of the coin may be for as good as the 169 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,440 Speaker 2: Bears are right now? Could the Bears be the team 170 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:48,559 Speaker 2: that is the foil to everybody? Because I don't know 171 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 2: if people are going to be warming up to Ben Johnson. 172 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:52,480 Speaker 2: I don't know if people are going to be warming 173 00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:54,760 Speaker 2: up to Caleb Williams in Chicago. Yeah. 174 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,720 Speaker 3: I think that's the big picture here too, because Caleb Williams, 175 00:08:57,760 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 3: since he came into the league, I feel like, was 176 00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:04,560 Speaker 3: it a controversial player from his college days Now, whether 177 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:06,360 Speaker 3: you like that he puts no polish on or not, 178 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:08,679 Speaker 3: he is a controversial player that people like to talk about. 179 00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:11,280 Speaker 3: And then you add Ben Johnson, who is also a 180 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,720 Speaker 3: different type of rubbs. Maybe somebody the wrong way because 181 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:16,959 Speaker 3: of I agree. I think he likes being the lone wolf. 182 00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:19,120 Speaker 3: I think he likes being the smartest man in the 183 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,559 Speaker 3: room and maybe he wouldn't take any help even if 184 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:25,800 Speaker 3: it was offered. But that may not help him in 185 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:29,320 Speaker 3: this matchup when you're may be facing a teen that 186 00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:31,400 Speaker 3: is getting more information on you than you would like. 187 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:35,360 Speaker 3: But yesterday when I said I feel like people hate 188 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:38,520 Speaker 3: watch Josh Allen, you guys were like, you're crazy. Maybe 189 00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:42,199 Speaker 3: people are hate watching the Bears and Caleb Williams and 190 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:45,319 Speaker 3: Ben Johnson that I feel like I think we could 191 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 3: agree on that one. 192 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:49,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know how you can deny Caleb Williams's talent. 193 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 2: It's just been on full display for really the second 194 00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:56,640 Speaker 2: half of the season and then even what we saw 195 00:09:56,640 --> 00:10:00,880 Speaker 2: against Green Bay and the comeback on on Saturday Night. 196 00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:03,880 Speaker 2: It's there. Like, if you can't see it, that is 197 00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:06,320 Speaker 2: a you problem. Whether you like it or not is 198 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 2: a different story. But if you can't see it, that's 199 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:10,280 Speaker 2: on you. If you don't like the way that Caleb 200 00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:12,439 Speaker 2: Williams plays, then so be it. If you don't like 201 00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:14,680 Speaker 2: the painted fingernails, that's fine. If you don't like the 202 00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:17,160 Speaker 2: way that he answers questions in the press, you didn't 203 00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:20,520 Speaker 2: like him crying at USC, those are all things that 204 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:24,120 Speaker 2: end up. I think it shows how polarizing of a 205 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:27,920 Speaker 2: figure that Caleb Williams is. But as yeah, I think 206 00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:31,720 Speaker 2: the draft process and leading up to that, yeah, it 207 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,080 Speaker 2: all comes into play. But I think that there's something 208 00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:38,480 Speaker 2: like with now Ben Johnson as well, of I'm not 209 00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,520 Speaker 2: sure on how much. I mean, he named Matt Lafleur 210 00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 2: in his introductory press conference, and I think it's great 211 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,280 Speaker 2: for the league. I actually i'd much rather have this. 212 00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:51,240 Speaker 2: I weeks back, I talked about how much I love 213 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:54,000 Speaker 2: the Jimmy Johnson Buddy Ryan rivalry that we don't even 214 00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:58,280 Speaker 2: really remember. Football fans don't even remember of these coaches 215 00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:00,680 Speaker 2: going back and forth and dawing, And this is as 216 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:02,960 Speaker 2: close as we've gotten to something like that. I mean, 217 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,160 Speaker 2: if Rex Ryan's not in the league, Buddy's son and 218 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:08,360 Speaker 2: stirring stuff up, I don't know who is. But Ben 219 00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:12,160 Speaker 2: Johnson sure seems to put people on edge, and I'm 220 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:15,120 Speaker 2: wondering if that's maybe why other people are also going 221 00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:18,320 Speaker 2: out of their way for Sean McVay and for the 222 00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:20,480 Speaker 2: Rams to maybe knock off Chicago on Sunday Night. 223 00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:22,440 Speaker 3: Now, I think you hit it. I think most people 224 00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:27,240 Speaker 3: maybe are rooting against Chicago because of all the things 225 00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:30,720 Speaker 3: that you were just listing. But also Ben Johnson, in 226 00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:33,720 Speaker 3: this one year, we've seen such a because it's like, 227 00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:37,720 Speaker 3: you have Kurt Signetti, who we've been watching serious dude, 228 00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,560 Speaker 3: who like also kind of seems to want to be 229 00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:42,880 Speaker 3: the lone wolf right, like he doesn't want to join 230 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,840 Speaker 3: in on the fun, he wants to separate himself. So 231 00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:48,760 Speaker 3: it's like, but why is Kurt Signetti so loved and welcomed, 232 00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 3: and then you have this other polarizing effect with a 233 00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:53,600 Speaker 3: similar type of character. 234 00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:58,400 Speaker 2: Yes, so polarizing. It's tough to warm up to Ben Johnson. 235 00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:03,160 Speaker 2: It is because he does give off the sense of 236 00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:06,160 Speaker 2: smartest guy in the room. And when you get an 237 00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,680 Speaker 2: A on your first test, which is this season with 238 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:14,839 Speaker 2: the Bears, immediately yeah, then you're like, okay, all right, 239 00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:18,599 Speaker 2: maybe yeah, it does. It makes people feel very uncomfortable 240 00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:22,920 Speaker 2: and it validates maybe some of the decisions. Again, when 241 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:24,560 Speaker 2: he was in the coaching cycle. He was in the 242 00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:28,080 Speaker 2: coaching cycle multiple times with the Lions, and in the 243 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,560 Speaker 2: most recent cycle where he didn't get the job, there 244 00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:32,959 Speaker 2: were eight vacancies. I remember the Seahawks were one of 245 00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:36,680 Speaker 2: the vacancies. They spoke with Ben Johnson, and after they 246 00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:39,240 Speaker 2: spoke with Ben Johnson, he was gonna meet with the 247 00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:42,559 Speaker 2: commanders and then he canceled that meeting and said I'm 248 00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:46,439 Speaker 2: staying I'm staying with Detroit for another season. So there 249 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:48,920 Speaker 2: were eight jobs that were opened up in the National 250 00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:50,839 Speaker 2: Football League that he didn't want. That's a quarter of 251 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:53,000 Speaker 2: the league. And I think that there are people who 252 00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:57,520 Speaker 2: probably said that's arrogance. You know that these jobs are rare, 253 00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:00,800 Speaker 2: and you're sitting there saying, you know what, these aren't 254 00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:04,000 Speaker 2: good enough for me. And right now he has the laugh, laugh, 255 00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:07,280 Speaker 2: the last laugh over those people. Because he picked the 256 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:10,400 Speaker 2: job that he wanted, it came open, it came against 257 00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:15,200 Speaker 2: friends within the division of the Detroit Lions, and so 258 00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:17,920 Speaker 2: maybe there's some bridges that were burned there. He obviously 259 00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:20,800 Speaker 2: burned bridges with Green Bay and that Packer Bears rivalry. 260 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:23,360 Speaker 2: So yeah, so it all kind of makes sense. But 261 00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:26,360 Speaker 2: right now Ben Johnson's having the last laugh. I think 262 00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:29,000 Speaker 2: that people just want to shut Ben Johnson up, and 263 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,600 Speaker 2: that's maybe why they're helping, trying to help. Not that 264 00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:33,960 Speaker 2: Seun mcfay by the way, Sean mcfahn doesn't need help, right, 265 00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:36,559 Speaker 2: but if there are things that you see that maybe 266 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,079 Speaker 2: would be able to end this, I think that they'd 267 00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:41,400 Speaker 2: be more than willing to help end the Bears run. 268 00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:44,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's crazy. Also, like with Caleb Williams, I feel 269 00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:45,760 Speaker 3: like he doesn't get the support that a lot of 270 00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:50,439 Speaker 3: young quarterbacks get. Like it's like people wanted the Bears 271 00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:55,199 Speaker 3: to maybe struggle a little bit more before having this success. Yeah, 272 00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:58,240 Speaker 3: and it's like, I don't know, Ben Johnson. Ben Johnson 273 00:13:58,320 --> 00:13:59,000 Speaker 3: knew what he was doing. 274 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:02,000 Speaker 2: Yes, this is the other thing about Caleb Williams. And 275 00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:03,360 Speaker 2: I don't want to talk about it's not all the 276 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:06,880 Speaker 2: quarterbacks in the draft because it's not. It's yeah, it's not. 277 00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:10,320 Speaker 2: We're not including nine in this. But when you have 278 00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:13,320 Speaker 2: Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels and Drake May one two, three, 279 00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:18,880 Speaker 2: look at how look at how we've handled those quarterbacks. 280 00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:21,240 Speaker 2: And the thing, the point that I'm going to make 281 00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:24,000 Speaker 2: is I think that there was a rush to judgment 282 00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:26,560 Speaker 2: on Jayden Daniels last year. Then now we had to 283 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:29,360 Speaker 2: slow down our a bit. YEP. I think that there 284 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:32,440 Speaker 2: are people who didn't watch Drake May in the later 285 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:35,720 Speaker 2: part of last season and maybe weren't ready to admit 286 00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:37,800 Speaker 2: that Drake May was ready for this. And now he's 287 00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:42,280 Speaker 2: an MVP candidate, so that has changed. Whereas Caleb Williams 288 00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:45,400 Speaker 2: like he's always been there and it's just a matter 289 00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:49,320 Speaker 2: of if people are willing to actually accept And I 290 00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:52,000 Speaker 2: think with May and Jayden Daniels, people are changing their 291 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:55,440 Speaker 2: opinions for whatever reason. They're not changing it about Caleb Williams. 292 00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:57,240 Speaker 3: You would never have guessed that they were drafted the 293 00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:59,640 Speaker 3: same class because of how they're treated, Yeah, and how 294 00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:00,480 Speaker 3: we look at them. 295 00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:04,720 Speaker 2: Yes, I think May and Daniels get a little bit more. Look, 296 00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:08,720 Speaker 2: they get more lenient, absolutely, and people aren't willing to 297 00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:10,720 Speaker 2: do that with Kayleb Williams. So that makes me then 298 00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:13,320 Speaker 2: wonder as a whole if people don't, you know, aren't 299 00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:15,240 Speaker 2: aren't warming up to your quarterback, if they don't like 300 00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:17,440 Speaker 2: your head coach. Now, are the Bears going to be 301 00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:20,280 Speaker 2: that team? They probably welcome it. The city of Chicago 302 00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:21,720 Speaker 2: and the Bears fans are like, all right, bring it on, 303 00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:23,800 Speaker 2: We'll be the villains. Yeah, if you want. Because I 304 00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:26,600 Speaker 2: look in this the NFC, actually look at the AFC quickly, 305 00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:29,360 Speaker 2: Bills would be the ultimate story. I think that the 306 00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:31,320 Speaker 2: Texans would be a feel good story if they were 307 00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:33,880 Speaker 2: to make it to the Super Bowl Denver. Maybe not 308 00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:36,480 Speaker 2: in New England, definitely not. But in the in the NFC, 309 00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:38,640 Speaker 2: you have teams. The Rams have been to two Super 310 00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:41,320 Speaker 2: Bowls one to one. Recently, the forty nine ers have 311 00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:43,880 Speaker 2: been to Super Bowls. Seahawks. I don't think we're that 312 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:46,840 Speaker 2: far removed from legion of boom, you know, right, still fresh. Yeah, 313 00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:48,800 Speaker 2: So the Bears would be the underdog story, but we're not. 314 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,240 Speaker 2: I don't know if we're using that narrative and talking 315 00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:51,560 Speaker 2: about that. 316 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:52,960 Speaker 3: Definitely not looking at them like that. 317 00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:56,400 Speaker 2: No, for sure, she's Monty Belaios. I'm Dan Byer. 318 00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:59,160 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio had the best sports talk lineup in 319 00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:01,920 Speaker 1: the nation yet.

She's Monty Belaanio. So I'm Dan Byr. 322 00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:12,880 Speaker 2: You know the reason I make a big deal about 323 00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:15,680 Speaker 2: my birthday so this before is because it's also National 324 00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:18,280 Speaker 2: Nothing Day. So it's my birthday. And I said when 325 00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:21,040 Speaker 2: I heard it a DJ say it when I was 326 00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:23,840 Speaker 2: in first grade on my way to school, it completely 327 00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:25,600 Speaker 2: destroyed my day. 328 00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:26,320 Speaker 3: Hold on a sec. 329 00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:29,400 Speaker 2: It's national type in National Nothing Day, it'll pop up 330 00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:32,720 Speaker 2: January sixteenth. It won't. It won't say Dan Buyer's birthday, 331 00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:36,200 Speaker 2: but it'll say January sixteenth. And I heard that when 332 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:38,560 Speaker 2: I was in first grade.

I disagree. You know who 338 00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:55,160 Speaker 2: else does?

How kind of you to 350 00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:31,240 Speaker 2: say it's a big day here, of course. Yeah. No, 351 00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:33,919 Speaker 2: I did not. I did not trap you in the 352 00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:37,120 Speaker 2: corner and force you. You know, I love talking with Mark. 353 00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:39,679 Speaker 2: I'm gonna just say this. I asked Mark one of 354 00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:42,439 Speaker 2: the worst questions. I don't I actually don't think it 355 00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:44,720 Speaker 2: was a bad question. It was just an awkward question. 356 00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:47,199 Speaker 2: There was a there was a team flying Mark, do 357 00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:50,000 Speaker 2: you remember this when I asked you what the protocols 358 00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:53,960 Speaker 2: are if a plane would crash in the NFL. Yes, yeah, 359 00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:58,440 Speaker 2: because there was a team that had flight troubles. I 360 00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:01,280 Speaker 2: think it's maybe in the end, maybe maybe I remember that. Yeah, 361 00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:03,920 Speaker 2: I think, And I felt like awkward doing it, and 362 00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:05,840 Speaker 2: not only did I not like ease it in, it 363 00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:08,560 Speaker 2: was the first question right out of the gate. So 364 00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:11,560 Speaker 2: so hey, in my older age, maybe I will learn better. 365 00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:14,639 Speaker 2: But that's why we always appreciate Mark Dominic. I'm going 366 00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:17,320 Speaker 2: to ask you a real football question. What is taking 367 00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:19,200 Speaker 2: so long with John Harbot a sign on the dotted 368 00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:20,320 Speaker 2: line with the New York Giants. 369 00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:25,680 Speaker 6: You know, when you have one hundred percent leverage, you 370 00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:27,960 Speaker 6: have one hundred percent control over the language and the contract. 371 00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:30,439 Speaker 6: And I did a kind of head coaching contract with 372 00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:33,320 Speaker 6: his agent, Harlan before, and we had the same kind 373 00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:35,119 Speaker 6: of issue going on and it was fine, like and 374 00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:39,240 Speaker 6: it's it's little things. It may seem like big things, 375 00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:41,119 Speaker 6: but it's it's the amount of playoff shares, it's the 376 00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:43,639 Speaker 6: amount of tickets, It's the amount of the different things, 377 00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:46,040 Speaker 6: the different levels that Harbaugh can ask for and push 378 00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:48,560 Speaker 6: for that maybe somebody has it before, but the reality 379 00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:51,399 Speaker 6: is the Giants are stuck. You know, I'm the number 380 00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:54,320 Speaker 6: I'm sure is done. The years are done. It's going 381 00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:56,960 Speaker 6: to be the little stuff in between, or you know, 382 00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:58,919 Speaker 6: the clawbacks that the Giants want to get into their 383 00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:02,600 Speaker 6: contract that maybe because Harbaugh has the leverage, he's going 384 00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:04,760 Speaker 6: to try to push back or not Harbor, but his agent, 385 00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:07,040 Speaker 6: which is why he pays him. But this contract to 386 00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:08,840 Speaker 6: get done, I'm not worried about it. It might take 387 00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:10,280 Speaker 6: one more day at the most. 388 00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:12,959 Speaker 3: Do you see Mike Tomlin taking a year off and 389 00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:16,560 Speaker 3: doing TV and coming back to coaching pretty quickly, or 390 00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:19,440 Speaker 3: do you think he'll take more time away from the game. 391 00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:23,840 Speaker 6: You know, I actually think Mike could take time away 392 00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:25,480 Speaker 6: from the game. I mean, he's had a great run. 393 00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:29,800 Speaker 6: I think it's been completely unappreciated. I'm kind of of 394 00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:33,159 Speaker 6: the mindset that I've heard other people say that, you know, 395 00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:36,480 Speaker 6: he's been able to maneuver through some really rough rosters. 396 00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:39,119 Speaker 6: I mean, hit a winning season. And I'm not disrespecting 397 00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:41,640 Speaker 6: Kenny Pickett, but like he's had winning season with quarterbacks 398 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:44,520 Speaker 6: that people are like that could be tough, that could 399 00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:46,080 Speaker 6: be rough, and he does it again and again and 400 00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:48,480 Speaker 6: again and so I think there's part of Mike that 401 00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:51,920 Speaker 6: wants that break and breather. I have a feeling he'll 402 00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:54,760 Speaker 6: be unbelievable on television, and having worked with Mike and 403 00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:58,600 Speaker 6: know Mike, it's an unbelievable transition. And it's kind of like 404 00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:01,160 Speaker 6: the Built Cower transition. Whe kept thinking Bill Cower's gonna 405 00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:03,200 Speaker 6: come back, and he kept going, this isn't a bad life. 406 00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:05,119 Speaker 6: He's been doing it for a long time now. So 407 00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:07,520 Speaker 6: I think, you know, he'll just follow Bill Kyer possibly 408 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:09,600 Speaker 6: and do the same thing I would. I think he 409 00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:12,720 Speaker 6: needs the time away. I just I could see Mike 410 00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:15,359 Speaker 6: uh say, I've had my run. I'm done. 411 00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:18,360 Speaker 2: Mark Dominic joining us here on Fox Sports Radio. How 412 00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:22,399 Speaker 2: much does a success of as Sean Payton having after 413 00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:25,439 Speaker 2: the long run and success in New Orleans taking that 414 00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:28,359 Speaker 2: year off and coming back, like, is is Peyton going 415 00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:30,560 Speaker 2: to be the exception to the rule where it seems 416 00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:33,000 Speaker 2: coaches are just getting younger and younger, or do you 417 00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:36,160 Speaker 2: think that we could see other situations with a Tomlin 418 00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:38,720 Speaker 2: doing this and good Harbaugh who didn't take the year 419 00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:41,520 Speaker 2: off but continue to have success like is Sean Payton 420 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:44,399 Speaker 2: laying the groundwork for other coaches to do this or 421 00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:45,840 Speaker 2: is he a one off in this situation. 422 00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:48,560 Speaker 6: I think he's a little bit of a one off, 423 00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:51,760 Speaker 6: you know, in that what he's been able to accomplish, 424 00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:53,680 Speaker 6: what he's been able to do, you know. I think 425 00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:56,280 Speaker 6: the the other thing, you know, Mike, Mike and are 426 00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:58,280 Speaker 6: almost the same. We almost have the same birthday day. 427 00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:01,760 Speaker 6: I think that's really important. No, I you know, I 428 00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:04,520 Speaker 6: think Mike is in a different spot right. And the 429 00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:08,600 Speaker 6: reason why I say that number one, Yes, I think 430 00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:11,400 Speaker 6: what Sean did is different. I think the reason why, though, 431 00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:16,040 Speaker 6: is Mike's got you know, three children, Tomlin, and you know, 432 00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:19,680 Speaker 6: you know, I think he has not seen all their 433 00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:21,359 Speaker 6: life but wants to be involved. And I think that 434 00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:24,280 Speaker 6: his family life, even though he's only fifty three, is 435 00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:27,960 Speaker 6: watching his children grow up and they've got grown out 436 00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:30,199 Speaker 6: through the house, and I think that he wants to 437 00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:32,440 Speaker 6: take that time away and be able to spend time 438 00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:34,240 Speaker 6: with him a little bit more of a depth like chance, 439 00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:37,000 Speaker 6: you know, running around with them and actually chopping it 440 00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:38,480 Speaker 6: up with them. And I think that's what you're gonna see. 441 00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:40,159 Speaker 6: I think where Sean Payton was, I don't think he 442 00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:42,399 Speaker 6: had that type of commitment and so I think he 443 00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:45,040 Speaker 6: just kind of you know, football or nothing, and that's 444 00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:47,159 Speaker 6: why Sean came back. But both brilliant coaches. 445 00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:50,959 Speaker 3: Let's move on to the divisional playoffs which start tomorrow. 446 00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:54,960 Speaker 3: Sam Darnold a lot of pressure, I know, bleak injury 447 00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:58,159 Speaker 3: putting him on the injured list at least just you 448 00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:01,120 Speaker 3: know the report. How do you think this affects the Seahawks? 449 00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:02,440 Speaker 3: Do the forty nine ers have a chance? 450 00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:03,920 Speaker 2: Uh? 451 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:05,280 Speaker 6: You know what, I don't think it's really going to 452 00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:07,800 Speaker 6: change the Seahawks too much. You know, it's a disappointing 453 00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:09,919 Speaker 6: he's got a strain to bleak, but you know, you 454 00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:12,360 Speaker 6: can shoot that up and just play and and get 455 00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:15,000 Speaker 6: through the game. And I think that's what they'll do. 456 00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:16,800 Speaker 6: Is the forty nine Ers just have such a rough 457 00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:19,280 Speaker 6: environment to go into with the Seattle Seahawks, as we 458 00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:23,280 Speaker 6: all know, and just playing in that stadium with a 459 00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:26,040 Speaker 6: team that's very energized who's had a really strong season. 460 00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:29,399 Speaker 6: The difference is that, you know, Ken Ricky, can the 461 00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:31,639 Speaker 6: forty nine ers find ways to make enough plays to 462 00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:34,720 Speaker 6: win because they certainly are uber talented when they're hot. 463 00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:36,359 Speaker 6: And that's the only thing that would scare me is 464 00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:38,959 Speaker 6: if I was looking at the forty nine ers and 465 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:42,040 Speaker 6: watching them play as a defensive coordinator, I kind of 466 00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:44,000 Speaker 6: think that, you know, they could get hot, you know, 467 00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:45,960 Speaker 6: they could they could certainly find a way to really 468 00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:48,000 Speaker 6: kind of get things going for them offensively, and it's 469 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:49,440 Speaker 6: all going to come down to the running game. I mean, 470 00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:52,560 Speaker 6: your entire job is to stop McCaffrey from exploding. The 471 00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:56,000 Speaker 6: Eagles did a solid job at it, I think, a 472 00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:58,119 Speaker 6: very good job at it, but they you know, obviously 473 00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:00,399 Speaker 6: was just a tight game. I think that if the 474 00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:02,879 Speaker 6: Seattle Seahawks, with that defense and the way that how 475 00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:04,879 Speaker 6: good they are, I think they can do the same thing. 476 00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:06,160 Speaker 6: And that's why I think Seattle wins. 477 00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:08,680 Speaker 2: Mark Doblinick joining us here on Fox Sports Radio. She's 478 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:10,800 Speaker 2: Monty Belanio. So I'm Dan Byer. So let's go to 479 00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:13,280 Speaker 2: the other game. Then on Saturday, Bills carrying a lot 480 00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:16,600 Speaker 2: of momentum from that win against Jacksonville, does Denver's defense 481 00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:19,360 Speaker 2: have enough to shut down Josh Allen on that offense. 482 00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:22,240 Speaker 6: Yeah, It's amazing to me when you think through this, 483 00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:25,320 Speaker 6: you know that the Bills, as good as they are offensively, 484 00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:27,760 Speaker 6: had to deal with the Jacksonville defenses was much better 485 00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:29,840 Speaker 6: than people I think realized. And now you're going to 486 00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:33,560 Speaker 6: walk into the Broncos and then you know, possibly the Texans. 487 00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:36,880 Speaker 6: You you're playing probably the three three of the top 488 00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:39,280 Speaker 6: five defenses in the NFL that Buffalo's got to get through. 489 00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:42,520 Speaker 6: I actually like this matchup better than I did with 490 00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:44,800 Speaker 6: their matchup last week of Jacksonville because Jacksonville, to me, 491 00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:48,480 Speaker 6: you know, certainly can move the ball, and I don't 492 00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:50,720 Speaker 6: think that Denver is going to move the balls efficiently 493 00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:53,200 Speaker 6: that this is you know, a lot more helpful. That's 494 00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:55,600 Speaker 6: going to keep Buffalo within that one score and they're 495 00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:58,080 Speaker 6: really good at one score games, especially in the postseason 496 00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:00,359 Speaker 6: in my opinion, of getting the touchdown on when they 497 00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:01,840 Speaker 6: need to get it. And I think You're defense is 498 00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:03,960 Speaker 6: strong enough to limit what Denver is going to do. 499 00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:06,320 Speaker 6: I'm going with the Buffalo Bills in this one. 500 00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:08,280 Speaker 3: Drake May is also going to have to deal with 501 00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:11,119 Speaker 3: the tough defense in Houston. How is he going to 502 00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:11,879 Speaker 3: handle that? 503 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:16,120 Speaker 6: You think, you know, don't everything about what Drake May 504 00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:18,800 Speaker 6: has done this year, and vrabel has been spectacular and 505 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:21,200 Speaker 6: really excited for what they've been able to accomplish and 506 00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:23,639 Speaker 6: get to this point. But I just don't think you 507 00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:25,359 Speaker 6: can beat this. I don't think you can beat the 508 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:27,800 Speaker 6: Houston Texas defense right now. I think that's too strong. 509 00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:31,240 Speaker 6: I've always been to philosophy. The offenses get to the postseason, 510 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:34,600 Speaker 6: tech defense is still winning a championship. I still believe that. 511 00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:37,200 Speaker 6: And that's why, as much as I would love to 512 00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:39,600 Speaker 6: see what Drake May can do and build on the success, 513 00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:42,840 Speaker 6: I'm leaning to. I'm leaning towards the Houston Texas because 514 00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:46,480 Speaker 6: I think defensively it is very difficult, and especially for 515 00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:48,600 Speaker 6: a younger quarterback. I just think it's going to be 516 00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:50,399 Speaker 6: a hard day for Drake May. But I don't think 517 00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:51,639 Speaker 6: it's gonna be Drake May's fall. I just think of 518 00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:53,160 Speaker 6: the whole defense is going to be able to shut 519 00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:57,119 Speaker 6: down the limited production I think or playmakers that the 520 00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:57,760 Speaker 6: Patriots have. 521 00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:01,159 Speaker 2: I'll tell you it's looking at great defense, and you know, 522 00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:04,040 Speaker 2: eighty five bears is always one that's held up. There's 523 00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:06,720 Speaker 2: always things that stand out, you know, maybe the eyes 524 00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:09,639 Speaker 2: of Mike Singletary on that defense. I always think of, 525 00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:12,840 Speaker 2: you know, Richard Sherman and the Legion of Boom and 526 00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:16,360 Speaker 2: the Seahawks in Sherman doing all the talking, they did 527 00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:20,200 Speaker 2: on the great defense the Texans. Jalen Petrie's big helmet 528 00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:22,800 Speaker 2: flying around everywhere. Like I know, there's so many other 529 00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:27,359 Speaker 2: great like pieces on that defense, but they're coming from everywhere, 530 00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:30,080 Speaker 2: and that guardian helmet of Jalen Petrie just seems to 531 00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:33,080 Speaker 2: be everywhere leveling hits. So when I think of the 532 00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:35,760 Speaker 2: Texans defense, I just think of I think of guys 533 00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:38,080 Speaker 2: flying around and I can't miss that enormous helmet that 534 00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:41,600 Speaker 2: he wears. So I just we're talking so eloquently about 535 00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:45,000 Speaker 2: the Texans, I had to bring up what was standing out. 536 00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:49,399 Speaker 2: Monty and I were talking Mark earlier about the conversation 537 00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:52,479 Speaker 2: that Sean McVay maybe having with Matt Lafleur getting some 538 00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:55,439 Speaker 2: intel on how to stop Ben Johnson and the Bears 539 00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:59,240 Speaker 2: seems to be common practice in the National Football League. 540 00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:02,760 Speaker 2: How common is it playoff time for other coaches, you know, 541 00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:06,360 Speaker 2: to reach out get information, get intel about teams that 542 00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:09,639 Speaker 2: they may be familiar with within division or recently just played. 543 00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:14,199 Speaker 6: Very common, very very common. Uh, And it's it's kind 544 00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:15,560 Speaker 6: of a norm. You go to the people that you 545 00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:17,720 Speaker 6: know and you just reach out to me and you 546 00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:20,399 Speaker 6: have those conversations like you're saying, and it's logical, right, 547 00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:22,679 Speaker 6: it's almost like pre draft information to call the college 548 00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:24,600 Speaker 6: coach or the head coach that you know the you 549 00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:26,359 Speaker 6: call the college head coach. So tell me about what 550 00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:27,960 Speaker 6: this kid really is like, tell me how he really 551 00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:29,600 Speaker 6: works in your system, and you know what's kind of 552 00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:32,000 Speaker 6: guy might bring in my locker room sitting here. You know, 553 00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:34,840 Speaker 6: it's it's your buddies that you're calling. It doesn't it's 554 00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:36,560 Speaker 6: not always just a head coach to head coach, right, 555 00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:39,000 Speaker 6: you guys, It's it's coordinator to coordinators. It's you know, 556 00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:42,560 Speaker 6: position coach to position coaches. You know, you use your 557 00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:45,360 Speaker 6: network of guys that you really have a real relationship with, 558 00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:48,280 Speaker 6: and that's something that you utilize and take advantage of. 559 00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:50,480 Speaker 6: And I'm sure that both sides are doing that to 560 00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:53,600 Speaker 6: get in position to play this game. And it should 561 00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:56,119 Speaker 6: be more of an offensive shootout. I think you know, 562 00:26:57,160 --> 00:27:01,160 Speaker 6: certainly the Rams weakness on defenses, their corners, secondary, and 563 00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:03,040 Speaker 6: I think the Bears have shown that you know, they're 564 00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:04,600 Speaker 6: going to give up yards. I mean love three for 565 00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:06,320 Speaker 6: four touchdowns and three hundred yards and now you got 566 00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:09,280 Speaker 6: Stafford coming through. So it should be This one to 567 00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:11,840 Speaker 6: me is of the games, this one should be the 568 00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:13,480 Speaker 6: higher point total of all the games that we're going 569 00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:15,720 Speaker 6: to see this weekend, and that should make it very exciting. 570 00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:17,720 Speaker 3: You think the weather is going to affect the Rams 571 00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:18,000 Speaker 3: at all? 572 00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:22,880 Speaker 6: I mean yes and no. I think it's just as 573 00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:25,320 Speaker 6: I think it's just a big effect against the Bears 574 00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:27,320 Speaker 6: as it could the Rams. And the reason why is, 575 00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:30,439 Speaker 6: you know, you do so much preparation indoors and you 576 00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:33,200 Speaker 6: know you do walk through and yes, is it cold, yes, 577 00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:36,720 Speaker 6: very much so. But you know with the way the 578 00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:38,919 Speaker 6: heat benches are, the way that you get yourself and 579 00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:42,560 Speaker 6: it's it's playoff football, and I feel like I don't 580 00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:46,040 Speaker 6: think it's going to be the impact for what the 581 00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:48,120 Speaker 6: people are worried about. Yes, it's going to be frigid. 582 00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:50,880 Speaker 6: It depends to me on how heavy the winds really are. 583 00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:53,800 Speaker 6: That's the big thing I think for both sides. I 584 00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:56,200 Speaker 6: think if the winds are hard, I still think the Rams, 585 00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:59,960 Speaker 6: uh you know, can still be effective with pokin it 586 00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,200 Speaker 6: cool in the short game, but I think the Bears 587 00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:03,879 Speaker 6: should be able to run the ball more efficiently. So 588 00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:05,760 Speaker 6: I think if it's if we've got heavy wins, that 589 00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:08,439 Speaker 6: will absolutely lean me towards saying the Bears have a 590 00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:11,120 Speaker 6: better chance to win the cold or the snow. I'm 591 00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:12,720 Speaker 6: not as worried about. It's the heavy wins that m 592 00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:14,200 Speaker 6: because I think that affects the deep ball. 593 00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:16,600 Speaker 2: I think it's the second best week a week in 594 00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:19,760 Speaker 2: the NFL. I think Week one is numero uno. Like 595 00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:21,600 Speaker 2: for as great as the Super Bowl can be in 596 00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:24,760 Speaker 2: the conference championships, there's nothing like the first week of 597 00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:27,720 Speaker 2: football and then you just have four marquee games. Like 598 00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:32,080 Speaker 2: it's truly, I've I've always fancied this week, Mark, it is, it. 599 00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:37,359 Speaker 6: Is what it really is about. 600 00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:40,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true. Fair enough, fair enough, And I'll tee 601 00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:42,280 Speaker 2: you after the Seahawks game on Saturday night if I 602 00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:45,200 Speaker 2: really like this weekend or not. Mark, we appreciate the time. 603 00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:47,720 Speaker 2: Always love your inside DEVI. We'll talk to you soon. 604 00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:49,880 Speaker 2: Thanks so much, enjoy the games. 605 00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:50,600 Speaker 6: Thanks for having me on. 606 00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:54,080 Speaker 2: Mark Dominic, former GM of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Like 607 00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,680 Speaker 2: there's so much excitement with Week one right, like the 608 00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:59,560 Speaker 2: games now at like fantasy stats count. It just it's 609 00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:02,920 Speaker 2: it's a great feel. But this weekend of the double 610 00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:05,320 Speaker 2: header on Saturday going into the doubleheader of Sunday, of 611 00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:09,320 Speaker 2: just the utmost quality of games. Yep, with like the stakes. 612 00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:14,520 Speaker 2: Like there's something missing on Conference Championship Sunday because there's 613 00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:17,640 Speaker 2: only the two games and then the super Bowl. The 614 00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:20,040 Speaker 2: super Bowl is great. Everybody watches the super Bowl, but 615 00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:22,560 Speaker 2: I don't think people get excited for the super Bowl. 616 00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:24,320 Speaker 2: I get excited for this weekend. 617 00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:26,240 Speaker 3: I don't blame you. I think this is probably the 618 00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:28,200 Speaker 3: best weekend. I agree Week one is great, but for 619 00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:29,600 Speaker 3: different reasons, it's not the same. 620 00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:32,520 Speaker 2: Correct, Yeah, Isaac Glowing Crown is at the news desk. 621 00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:36,760 Speaker 7: We have a Dan Frigging Buyer birthday update. 622 00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:37,480 Speaker 2: All right. 623 00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:41,880 Speaker 7: Well, Dan's birthday is indeed National Nothing Day. It is 624 00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:47,160 Speaker 7: also the following National Fig Newton Day. Nice, all right, 625 00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:53,120 Speaker 7: National Hot and Spicy Food Day, Nice, which would seem 626 00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:56,840 Speaker 7: to be kind of a contrast with National Fig Newton Day. 627 00:29:56,880 --> 00:30:03,000 Speaker 7: I'm just saying, but it is also National Without a 628 00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:11,040 Speaker 7: Scalpel Day, celebrating quote minimally invasive image guided procedures that 629 00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:16,960 Speaker 7: avoid large incisions unquote. And last, but not least, it is. 630 00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:22,160 Speaker 2: Also that's why we cut my cake in very very small, 631 00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:27,360 Speaker 2: tiny pieces. There's like eight hundred, but do what you gotta. 632 00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:29,160 Speaker 5: Do It all ties together. 633 00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:34,400 Speaker 7: And finally today is also National Appreciate a Dragon Day 634 00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:37,000 Speaker 7: and with that back to Dan and must take. 635 00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:40,800 Speaker 2: That national nothing day.
