Speaker 2: with Monsey and me. Happy college championship weekend.

5
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:19,520
Speaker 3: That's right. I mean we watched the end of an

6
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:21,000
Speaker 3: era last night.

7
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:24,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, the very last PAC twelve Championship game ever, a

8
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:26,480
Speaker 2: conference that we grew up watching.

9
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:28,400
Speaker 3: I didn't realize that until the game ended.

10
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 4: Like, as I was watching the game, I didn't process that,

11
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 4: and then once it ended, I.

12
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:34,559
Speaker 3: Was like, did we just watch that? Was it? I

13
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 3: just got chills again thinking about it.

14
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 2: I was at the Hop Golf last night for a

15
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 2: birthday party and they had it on like the two

16
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:42,560
Speaker 2: giant screens at like the end of the driving range, and.

17
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 3: It was just it was eerie.

18
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 2: It was it was kind of art heartbreaking because this

19
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 2: is like what we grew up with. But Matt Lioner

20

67
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 2: game later today on Fox.

68
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 5: I just want them to play well, and I'm not

69
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 5: I'm definitely not expecting him to win. I just want

70
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 5: them to show up and you know, maybe not get

71
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,079
Speaker 5: crushed like they did two years ago against Michigan forty

72
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 5: two to three.

73
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 2: This wasn't the vibe you gave me maybe five minutes

74
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 2: ago when we were talking about this.

75
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 5: Well, no, I told you off air that I will

76
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 5: be you know, numbing my pain during what I want

77
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 5: to say, the execution of I will be down live TV.

78
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:22,359
Speaker 3: But I'm just hoping.

79
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:24,800
Speaker 5: My hope is that they you're helpful, they can cover

80
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 5: that twenty two points maybe, like you know, forty one

81
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 5: to twenty.

82
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, like the probably yeah, yeah, I get it.

83
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:34,519
Speaker 3: Yeah is this your last show today?

84

Speaker 5: Yes, I'll be out of here at three, And I

85
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 5: got to run home and grab some things and go to.

86
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 3: My friend's pour hour and get to the number.

87
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 5: Drinking some tequila.

88
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 3: Yeah sea beers maybe so yeah, yeah, I love it.

89
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 6: He's like, I just want everyone to have fun, just

90
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 6: when I.

91
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 3: Have a good time.

92
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 2: Participation trophies maybe, no embarrassed.

93
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 3: You just don't humiliate us. You are going to get humiliated.

94
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 3: I mean I think so.

95
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 7: I don't know.

96
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 3: He just does he wants to lose by eighteen, not

97
00:03:58,560 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 3: twenty four.

98
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying, that's right, wish Yeah, like

99
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 2: you're hoping that that's the margin.

100
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 5: Is a lot small if I want, it would be

101
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 5: their first outright big ten championship since nineteen eighty five.

102
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 3: Wow, so dang, so wile ago it was.

103
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I wasn't born yet, I was, I don't think

104
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 2: any of us were, So I'm nobody here, I think, yeah,

105
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:19,480
Speaker 2: there we are.

106
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 3: Okay, no, clear, right, you're right.

107
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:25,159
Speaker 2: That's gonna be a great one later tonight, eight pm

108
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 2: Eastern on Fox. Don't miss that one. But you guys,

109
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 2: obviously Championship weekend today, but tomorrow we have an NFC

110
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 2: Powerhouse matchup Eagles forty nine Ers. I think it's the

111
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 2: biggest game this weekend. And if you've been living under

112
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 2: a rock, there's a few reasons why this is a

113
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 2: huge game. I'm gonna give you a little little recap here,

114
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 2: right because it all began last season. Eagles beat the

115
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,279
Speaker 2: forty nine Ers in the NFC Championship game. That same game,

116
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,919
Speaker 2: brock Perty got injured early, was out in the first

117
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 2: quarter of the game. But since then there's been a

118
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 2: lot of talk that if Perty didn't get hurt, forty

119
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 2: nine Ers could have won. So now let's take a

120
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,679
Speaker 2: look at both of these teams. Okay, I've been saying

121
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:14,359
Speaker 2: for weeks Eagles are the best team in the NFL.

122
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 2: The look on Monty's face when I say that is

123
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 2: just a chef's kiss.

124
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 3: Beautiful.

125
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 2: Now, the stat sheets may not show that they're the

126
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 2: better team, but the fact that they can win, and

127
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 2: they can win ugly makes them the best in my mind. Okay,

128
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 2: they trailed at halftime in four straight games. They came

129
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:34,559
Speaker 2: back to win all of those games, including two huge

130
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,720
Speaker 2: last minute comebacks last week because they played both the

131
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,720
Speaker 2: Chiefs and the Bills in the same week. And they

132
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 2: are seven to one in one score games this season.

133
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,119
Speaker 2: Not done yet. Let's take a moment for their leader here. Okay,

134
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,920
Speaker 2: Jalen Hurt. It's good, it's good. I'm not even letting

135
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 2: you go yet. What he has shown us in those

136
00:05:54,839 --> 00:06:01,480
Speaker 2: last four comeback games true leadership. He's been composed, he's resilient,

137
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:05,840
Speaker 2: he's in command, he hasn't looked nervous, and he has

138
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 2: the ability to stay calm and focused in the biggest moments.

139
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 2: And you can tell that his team has full confidence

140
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 2: in him and they all collectively believe that they can

141
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 2: win these games. Now, I mentioned off the top of

142
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 2: the stats right just to put it into perspective here.

143
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:27,719
Speaker 2: These are the numbers that apparently do not matter for

144
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 2: this team. Because the offense is ninth in yards per game,

145
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 2: Jalen Hurts is tenth in completion percentage, twelfth inpasserrating defense,

146
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 2: is twentieth in points allowed per game, nineteenth in yards

147
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 2: allowed per game. Not a single one of these stats

148
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 2: has the Eagles first in the NFL.

149
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 3: But you know what, they are first in the win column,

150
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:54,239
Speaker 3: and that's what truly matters. That's what matters.

151
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:55,159
Speaker 2: You want.

152
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:57,280
Speaker 3: Do you want me to go to the forty nine

153
00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 3: ers first before you? No? No, no, please let me jump

154
00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 3: in here for a second. Now, you're right, you're right.

155
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 4: I have not liked the Eagles from the beginning, but

156
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 4: I just want to say that I don't like them

157
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 4: as the best team. And it's not by There's not

158
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 4: very many. There's no team that is better by far

159
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 4: than anyone else like we've seen in previous years. But

160
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 4: I would not say that they are the best team

161
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 4: despite having the best record.

162
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 3: Despite what you just mentioned.

163
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 4: They are tired. And I will tell you Jalen Hurts

164
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 4: is my favorite Eagle. The way he handles himself. I

165
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 4: agree with you but this last overtime win against the Bills,

166
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 4: when the Bill, when the Eagles, excuse me, hit the

167
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 4: field goal to get to overtime, Jalen Hurts looks so annoyed,

168
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 4: so frustrated. You can look at that however you want,

169
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 4: because he knew.

170
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 3: That that's not good. We're tired. Every game the last

171
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 3: couple of games have been rough wins that they have had.

172
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 2: I feel like he was like frustrated from the two

173
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 2: false starts from their leaders. Let's not talk about the

174
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 2: kennalty that brought them back, because the entire season.

175
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 4: The Eagles have had the penalties called in their favor

176
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 4: almost in every game, So let's not.

177
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 3: Even I'm saying that's probably the annoyance on his face.

178
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 4: No, when you hit the goal, when you hit the

179
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 4: tying field goal, you should not look like that. But

180
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 4: you could tell that he's just tired because he knew

181
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 4: that this was not good for them in the long run.

182
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 3: They were going to face the forty nine ers.

183
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 4: They wanted to wrap up that game quickly, and I

184
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 4: called that the Bills needed to win because they needed

185
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 4: to win.

186
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 3: Bills are a disaster. That's a separate conversation.

187
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 4: But the Eagles have allowed seventeen hundred yards and over

188
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,200
Speaker 4: one hundred points in a four game span. They haven't

189
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:35,840
Speaker 4: really done that, only the sixth time in franchise history.

190
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 3: They are not the Eagles that they were last year.

191
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 2: Their office twentieth in points allowed, nineteenth and yards per game.

192
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:46,560
Speaker 2: They are bottom of the pack and have found they have.

193
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, but this isn't going to sustain in the long run.

194
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:52,559
Speaker 4: I mean it could get better, like it I could

195
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 4: say about any team.

196
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, but they're not the Eagles who will have the

197
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 2: best record in the NFL.

198
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,680
Speaker 4: They have not had a quality win since they beat

199
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 4: the dolph And what do I mean by that that

200
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 4: they've actually won both halfs You just said they've been down.

201
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, coming to the forty nine.

202
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 4: You can't win one half. That's not gonna that's not

203
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 4: gonna work. Their last quality win was against the Dolphins.

204
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 4: And you're looking at it like, oh, they found a

205
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:17,080
Speaker 4: way to win and that's great, And it's like to them,

206
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 4: like that's not sustainable.

207
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 3: That's not sustainable at all in any way, shape or form.

208
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 3: Let's talk about the other side. Now, let's go for it.

209
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:24,200
Speaker 3: Let's talk about it.

210
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 2: Because Eagles have not come up against a team this

211
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 2: well rounded. Okay, the forty nine Ers are the most

212
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 2: complete team in the NFL. They have an incredible defense.

213
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 2: It's allowed the fewest points per game, fifth in yards

214
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:42,960
Speaker 2: allowed per game. Their offense is tied in points per game,

215
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 2: third in yards per game. They have some of the

216
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 2: best weapons in the game. Christian McCaffrey leads the league

217
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 2: in rushing yards and total touchdowns. George Kittle, Deebo Samuels,

218
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 2: Brendan Nyuk, Brock perty leads the league in completion percentage

219
00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 2: first and passer rating, first in yards attempt and people

220
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 2: need to start putting some respect on Brock Purty's name. Yeah, Okay,

221
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 2: this is why I believe in this matchup the forty

222
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 2: nine Ers have more to prove Since Brock Purdy took

223
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 2: over the starting position. The argument has always been his

224
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 2: supporting cast. It's the coaching. He's never gotten the full

225
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 2: respect for what he's done, even during his undefeated streak

226
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 2: last season winning seven straight. Let me remind you again,

227
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 2: he leads the league in completion percentage, passer rating, and

228
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 2: yards per attempt. That all ended when he got hurt

229
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 2: against the Eagles in the NFC Championship game right his

230
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:49,319
Speaker 2: undefeated streak. Now forty nine Ers are healthy. Brock Purty

231
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,200
Speaker 2: picked up right where he left off, proving everybody wrong.

232
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 2: He is having an incredible season. So even though I

233
00:10:57,559 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 2: think the Eagles are the best team in the NFL,

234
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:03,560
Speaker 2: I think the forty nine Ers take this game similar

235
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 2: to how the Eagles took the Super Bowl rematch against

236
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 2: the Chiefs.

237
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:09,440
Speaker 3: There's more to prove.

238
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 2: You've had this kind of bulletin board material since the

239
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 2: end of last year. I gotta get this done. And

240
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 2: the Eagles are coming off an extremely tough week where

241
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:21,680
Speaker 2: they played both the Chiefs and the Bills in a

242
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 2: short week. They're tired, they're beat up. They're still an

243
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 2: incredible team, but I think forty nine Ers are going

244
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 2: to take this one.

245
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:36,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, everything you just said is exactly right. The forty

246
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 4: nine ers are rested. They are the most well rounded

247
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:42,959
Speaker 4: team compared to the Eagles, who everything I just said

248
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:43,560
Speaker 4: they have won.

249
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:46,679
Speaker 3: But it's been hard. It has not been an easy

250
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:47,719
Speaker 3: road to.

251
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:49,320
Speaker 4: What are they ten and one, nine and one, whatever

252
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:50,959
Speaker 4: they are, I don't even know the record. It hasn't

253
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 4: been an easy road for them. Right now, the forty

254
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:54,560
Speaker 4: nine ers are rested. I don't know if the forty

255
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 4: nine ers have more to prove. This game does mean

256
00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 4: obviously more to them because they want the buy right

257
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 4: into the playoffs, so I think it means more to them,

258
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:08,680
Speaker 4: But I feel that Philly is coming out with the

259
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:11,559
Speaker 4: mentality that they also have to prove that last year's

260
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:15,319
Speaker 4: win wasn't a fluke, So I also I don't think

261
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 4: it's gonna be I'm picking the Niners with you as

262
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 4: well for the reasons that they're rested, more well rounded team.

263
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 4: The Eagles have to be tired, But it's I think

264
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 4: the Eagles are gonna come out with the mentality of

265
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:31,440
Speaker 4: we have to prove that if Brockbirdy wouldn't have gotten

266
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 4: hurt last year, we still would have won. So the

267
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:36,960
Speaker 4: I think the weight is on for the forty nine

268
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 4: ers because they're gonna want the top seed to get

269
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 4: the buy. But the weight is on the Eagles because

270
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 4: they want to prove that it wasn't a fluke and

271
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:45,679
Speaker 4: that they're still they still would have beat them even

272
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 4: if brock perty wouldn't have hurt his elbow in the

273
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 4: middle of the game. I'm looking forward to this game.

274
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 4: They have to stop Christian McCaffrey. But like you just said,

275
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:56,560
Speaker 4: all right, so if your game plan is to stop.

276
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:58,679
Speaker 3: Christian McCaffrey, what are you gonna do. You got Deebo,

277
00:12:59,040 --> 00:12:59,680
Speaker 3: you got.

278
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:02,680
Speaker 4: Brandon Aiyuk and then George Kittle, who earlier in the

279
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 4: season had three touchdown passes in a game.

280
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 3: So it's still it's like you have they have a

281
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:08,200
Speaker 3: lot of work to do.

282
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 4: And the fact that the Eagles have lost their one

283
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:13,440
Speaker 4: game to the Jets just goes to show that a

284
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 4: tough defense is going to be hard for Jalen Hurts

285
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 4: and the Eagles. That's their one loss against a tough defense,

286
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:24,599
Speaker 4: and the forty nine Ers defense is gonna taken.

287
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:25,840
Speaker 3: Top and everything well rested. They're gonna come out and

288
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 3: they're going to want to kill Jalen Hurts.

289
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:28,959
Speaker 1: Oh.

290
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 2: I know, it's who doesn't look one hundred percent, but

291
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 2: no one is at this point.

292
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 3: Nobody is at this point.

293
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 4: And again, Jalen Hurts is my favorite Eagle, just the

294
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 4: way he handles himself and the way he acts like

295
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 4: he's been there.

296
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:41,440
Speaker 3: I love that.

297
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 4: I love very presidential, very love that love that, especially

298
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 4: like a great leader, a great leader like he's you know,

299
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 4: and I give him credit for everything he's done in

300
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 4: spite of the ups and downs with the defense and

301
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:55,079
Speaker 4: the offense.

302
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:56,960
Speaker 3: But I'm with you at the forty nine I means

303
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,440
Speaker 3: are just well rest rounded. But this is gonna be heated.

304
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 2: You know, there's a lot of talk back and forth.

305
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,679
Speaker 2: I think we have some sound from Hassan Reddick talking

306
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:06,959
Speaker 2: about how the forty nine ers talk is cheap.

307
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:08,960
Speaker 1: You guys got for forty nine ers now because I

308
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 1: know you've just not done plenty.

309
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 8: But you know they're gonna love talk anything.

310
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 9: When the last season, the back half of the NASY

311
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 9: Championship game last year, how much of that has.

312
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:18,199
Speaker 1: Stayed here in the back of your mind ahead of

313
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 1: the next week.

314
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 10: You know, as this season been going on, not much

315
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 10: talk is cheap. You know, they get to come back

316
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 10: in the link and there was a lot of boohoos

317
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 10: last year, a lot of crime, a lot of what if,

318
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 10: a lot of this, a lot of that. They get

319
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 10: a chance to come back in here line that up

320
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 10: improve it again.

321
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 4: I mean, coming from a Phillies player that all they

322
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 4: do is talk, It's like, come on, bro, I love it,

00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 2: in Philly, and I don't know if you've ever been

Speaker 3: Yeah, no stadiums.

00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 2: It is madness, like a Philly f I don't know

331
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 2: if you saw the little viral video of the Philly

332
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:06,280

333
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 3: Me you like that.

334
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 2: I to laugh so hard, tried to give him high five,

335
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 2: and then gave him the bird real quick.

336
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 3: I got.

337
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 2: I fell in love with Phillies fans covering the World

338
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 2: Series last year. I am at my mom's houl side

339
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 2: of the family's from Philly, so I have like a

340
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,840

344
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 4: then I'm the back of it. But the adult filming

345
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 4: that is okay. But the adult that sent the kid

346
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 4: to do that, that's okay.

347
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:39,920

392
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:05,920
Speaker 3: Moncey. Yes, we got heated there to get things going

393
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 3: a little bit. I mean it's appropriate.

394
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 4: Philadelphia I know, you know, and I've never been to Philadelphia,

395
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,879
Speaker 4: but I've watched the games against Philadelphia.

396
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:15,880
Speaker 3: You need to experience. I know those fans even here

397
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 3: like they're so it's but again, I like that you

398
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 3: should be exactly that.

399
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 4: You know, it's expected and it's it's fine, Like I

400
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:24,919
Speaker 4: get it.

401
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 3: I just didn't like the little kid, that's all. You know,

402
00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:32,440
Speaker 3: what was not expected. Aaron Rodgers is back at practice,

403
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:35,160
Speaker 3: you guys. First of all, happy fortieth birthday has come out?

404
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 3: Is this new information? Yes? Oh wow, I haven't heard this.

405
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 3: Oh my god, you're being sarcastic.

406
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:45,040
Speaker 2: You're being sarcastic. Happy fortieth birthday, Aaron Rodgers. He turned

407
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 2: forty today. Now, we talked about this last week, but

408
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 2: it's happening right. He entered his practice window and we

409
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 2: just got it. We're talking about it again. We're gonna

410
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 2: take a different angle. Yeah, I'm taking a different different

411
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 2: angle this I First of all, he only can doubt

412
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 2: how dedicated this man is. Right, in eleven weeks, he

413
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 2: went from tearing his achilles to returning to practice in

414
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 2: a timeline that we have never seen before, which makes

415
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 2: you wonder what else did he do? Because he talked

416
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:20,959
Speaker 2: about what the dolphin mating frequencies that were healing his achilles.

417
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:25,959
Speaker 2: But like we know, he's into experimental treatments, right. I

418
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:30,359
Speaker 2: remember hearing Kobe talk about getting stem cell to treat

419
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 2: his injuries and the results were incredibly fast healing. And

420
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 2: obviously Aaron Rodgers hasn't talked about anything like that. But

421
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 2: in my mind, how else do you get back this fast?

422
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:43,800
Speaker 3: It's got to be something.

423
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 2: It's got to be something else that we don't know about,

424
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 2: that the public doesn't know about. That he's doing some holistic,

425
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:56,119
Speaker 2: experimental maybe not a mainstream healing technique here in the

426
00:19:56,200 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 2: United States. It's just you got I still try to

427
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:04,399
Speaker 2: wrap my head around this because obviously the Jets shape

428
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:10,600
Speaker 2: Jet Jets, the Jets shape their entire franchise around Aaron Rodgers.

429
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:15,119
Speaker 2: So I understand why he's trying hard to come back,

430
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 2: But what's the point. What is in it for the Jets.

431
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:25,480
Speaker 2: They're not in playoff contention, their offensive line is not great.

432
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:27,680
Speaker 2: The risk of him getting hurt is way bigger than

433
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:31,160
Speaker 2: the reward. So they're saying he like he's saying, if

434
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 2: he gets cleared, he comes back. Christmas Eve, Week sixteen,

435
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:38,240
Speaker 2: he's back for three games playing Atlanta, the Texans, and

436
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:44,439
Speaker 2: the Dolphins. What's the benefit. What's the benefit? There are none.

437
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 2: You won't be playing for anything. It's a giant risk

438
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 2: of him getting hurt and possibly losing him for even longer,

439
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 2: re injuring himself again.

440
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 3: He's forty years old, Moncy, he is forty years old.

441
00:20:57,480 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 3: Go let it rip, girl, let it rip.

442
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 4: Raise your flipping hand if you're over Aaron Rodgers at.

443
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:05,680
Speaker 3: This point, I am, And I wasn't.

444
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 4: Wasn't I with you up until like, but the fact

445
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:15,639
Speaker 4: that it's every the fact that it's every week that

446
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:19,480
Speaker 4: he's on Pat McAfee every Tuesday, and every Tuesday week

447
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 4: do you do that?

448
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 3: But he did that? Like when he was playing. How

449
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:23,160
Speaker 3: great would it have been.

450
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 4: Though, if there was not as much information said every

451
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 4: week and then maybe once a month he sprinkled a

452
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 4: little bit and we would be, you know, salivating over

453
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 4: that little bit of information that you were giving us,

454
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:39,440
Speaker 4: Like do you're dead a little bit at the beginning

455
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:41,879
Speaker 4: when the first time we saw you go outside and

456
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:43,040
Speaker 4: like before a game.

457
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 3: Awesome, But the fact.

458
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 4: It's like I'm just like Aaron, like I cannot I'm

459
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:52,159
Speaker 4: not even excited anymore, because you've been telling us for days,

460
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:53,959
Speaker 4: for days and days and days. It's not that I'm

461
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 4: not impressed, Yeah, that I'm not impressed. No, I'm impressed.

462
00:21:56,840 --> 00:22:01,119
Speaker 4: I don't know what's going on. No right miracle drug

463
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:04,200
Speaker 4: or like, were you really not as her?

464
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:06,680
Speaker 3: Was it a partial tear? There's gotta be something else

465
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 3: that we don't know. It's not about that.

466
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 4: It's absolutely incredible that we're even having this conversation. But

467
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:15,960
Speaker 4: I'm just like, Bro, this would have been so much

468
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:17,960
Speaker 4: better if you didn't tell us every week or every

469
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:21,680
Speaker 4: other day information of how you were doing it, if

470
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:24,479
Speaker 4: it would have been little by little, but instead all

471
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:26,120
Speaker 4: the time, every day, every day.

472
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 3: I'm sol ry, I'm sorry, and I'm with you. What's

473
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:28,560
Speaker 3: the point?

474
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 2: It's it feels irresponsible. It feels irresponsible from Aaron, it

475
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 2: feels irresponsible from the jets.

476
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:37,720
Speaker 3: And if the doctors end up clearing him, who's gonna

477
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 3: clear him? No doctor should clear him.

478
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 2: I don't know they might no eleven weeks after tearing

479
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:44,360
Speaker 2: his achilles.

480
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 3: This has been a great story, but it needs to

481
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:47,640
Speaker 3: stop now.

482
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:50,960
Speaker 2: It needs congrass on the insane recovery to walk again

483
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:54,399
Speaker 2: in eleven weeks. I mean, don't push it and possibly

484
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:55,960
Speaker 2: end your career like this.

485
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:56,439
Speaker 3: And that's it.

486
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:58,560

491
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:09,879

492
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:11,800
Speaker 4: us are over it at this point.

493
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:15,760
Speaker 2: Like, no, am I loaning this, Nick Mandon, I know

494
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 2: I are we like you are the majority here. Yeah,

495
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 2: but now let's check in with Nick Cope and see

496
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:21,679
Speaker 2: what's trending.

497
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:28,399
Speaker 9: All right, guys, we got championship games galore going on

498
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:32,359
Speaker 9: right now. Georgia able to stop Alabama on their first drive,

499
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:35,240
Speaker 9: then go down and score. Alabama had to punt again,

500
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 9: and now Georgia is about to punt back Tobama. Here

501
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:41,240
Speaker 9: midway through the first quarter, it is seven nothing. Bulldogs

502
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:43,920
Speaker 9: in Atlanta got a wild game for the Mountain West

503
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:47,480
Speaker 9: Championship at Vegas Boise State. On top of UNLV thirty

504
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 9: one seventeen, they still got three and a half before

505
00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 9: the half. You got number twenty two to Tulane in

506
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:56,879
Speaker 9: SMU and the American Athletic Championship game Green Wave on

507
00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:59,919
Speaker 9: top seven nothing. That game of note because Tulane is

508
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:02,479
Speaker 9: top ranked group of five team. If they win this

509
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 9: one today, they are in line to go back to

510
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 9: a New Year's six Bowl game. And then you've got

511
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 9: the Sun Belt Championship game. Troy and app State scoreless

512
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:14,680
Speaker 9: with about four minutes to play in the first quarter. Earlier,

513

514
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:21,280

Speaker 3: Both marks are.

518
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:30,480
Speaker 9: Big Twelve title game records, and with that win, Texas

519
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:33,919

542
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 2: You guys, he spent a decade covering the Cowboys. You've

00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 2: seen him on Speak on FS one. He is the

544
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:52,959
Speaker 2: host of NFL on Fox podcast. Please welcome Dave Helman

545
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:54,119
Speaker 2: back to the show.

546
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:54,919
Speaker 3: Dave.

547
00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 7: Hey, guys, they is.

548
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:02,200
Speaker 2: Oh Dave so much to get to. I want to

549
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:05,440
Speaker 2: start with your Cowboys. Okay, they had a big fourth

550
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:09,200
Speaker 2: quarter comeback Thursday night against Seattle. They're now nine and three.

551
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:12,960
Speaker 2: Do you believe this is a real Super Bowl contender?

552
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:14,800
Speaker 6: Oh?

553
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:16,639
Speaker 7: Man, I would love it if you could asked me

554
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:21,360
Speaker 7: that question in another week, because you know, I've I've

555
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:24,119
Speaker 7: kind of I've been billing this thing on our podcast.

556
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:27,199
Speaker 7: As you know, it's a step by step process. I mean, clearly,

557
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:30,120
Speaker 7: I do think the Cowboys are one of the handful

558
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:31,920
Speaker 7: of best teams in the league, you know, I mean

559
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:35,440
Speaker 7: there aren't There aren't five or six teams that are

560
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 7: better than Dallas right now. But you know, there's been

561
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:41,120
Speaker 7: a pretty clear line drawn in the sand between them

562
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 7: and the true elite, whether it's the Eagles, the Niners,

563
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:47,000
Speaker 7: throwing the Chiefs if you want to. Obviously, they get

564
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 7: the Eagles next week. The unfortunate thing for the Cowboys is,

565
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 7: even with the big win against Seattle, Honestly, even if

566
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:57,879
Speaker 7: Philly loses to San Francisco tomorrow, it's going to be

567
00:26:57,880 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 7: an uphill battle for them to win their division. And

568
00:26:59,880 --> 00:27:02,080
Speaker 7: I think that makes the playoffs tough. If you're having

569
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:03,680
Speaker 7: to go on the road every step of the way.

570
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:07,320
Speaker 7: But you know, beat Philly, see what happens, You've absolutely

571
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:08,920
Speaker 7: got a shot to do it. And I mean they

572
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:11,960
Speaker 7: were Look, they were inches away from beating Philly a

573
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 7: few weeks ago. So yeah, I mean, look, I think

574
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:17,360
Speaker 7: Cowboy fans are scarred by pass failures, but I mean

575
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:19,880
Speaker 7: this is a very, very good team. I think Dak

576
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:23,639
Speaker 7: Prescott is playing at the highest level of his entire career.

577
00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:26,680
Speaker 7: And yeah, I mean I think there's a lot more

578
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 7: work to do to prove that they can get there.

579
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:31,679
Speaker 7: But I don't think this is a team that you

580
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:33,920
Speaker 7: can write off. And they've got a big opportunity next

581
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 7: week to announce themselves as one of the true contenders.

582
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 3: I agree with you on that.

583
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 4: I want to talk about Dak a little bit here, Dave.

584
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 4: You know, he has been playing really well. Obviously they're

585
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:48,200
Speaker 4: not playing the top contenders. Should he be faulted for

586
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 4: that or do you think he should be considered in

587
00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:51,119
Speaker 4: the MVP conversation.

588
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:55,040
Speaker 7: I always say, Monci that this is I mean, this

589
00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:57,600
Speaker 7: is not college football. This is the NFL. Your your

590
00:27:57,640 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 7: schedule's predetermined, you play the team in front of you.

591
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:02,879
Speaker 7: Everybody there makes a lot of money. Yeah, I'm not

592
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:06,359
Speaker 7: telling anybody they have to be impressed by Dak beating

593
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:10,080
Speaker 7: up on Carolina and Washington and the Giants. But I mean,

594
00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:12,920
Speaker 7: even in the game that he lost during this stretch,

595
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:17,680
Speaker 7: he was phenomenal against Philadelphia. I mean, I'm not gonna

596
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:19,920
Speaker 7: listen to people say that he's a bummed simply because

597
00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:21,800
Speaker 7: he couldn't beat the best team in the league, which,

598
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:24,199
Speaker 7: by the way, basically nobody else has been able to

599
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:28,760
Speaker 7: beat either. So yeah, no, I don't fault him for

600
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:30,679
Speaker 7: that at all. But I do think, and this is

601
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:32,760
Speaker 7: what I keep saying, is like, all right, now we're

602
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:35,520
Speaker 7: into the period that carries extra weight and the beauty

603
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:38,880
Speaker 7: of the NFL is it doesn't matter, like we're not

604
00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:41,680
Speaker 7: worried about style points, because look, he just beat a

605
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:46,120
Speaker 7: feisty Seattle defense at home. He gets Philly next. After Philly,

606
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:49,480
Speaker 7: it's Buffalo and Miami. I mean, if the Cowboys are

607
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 7: still in the mix of the NFC playoff conversation after that,

608
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:56,840
Speaker 7: I mean they're if they're twelve and three after these

609
00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 7: next three games, he's gonna be your MVP front runner.

610
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:01,600
Speaker 7: I mean there's there's no other way around that. So,

611
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:04,320
Speaker 7: like I said, the beauty of it is he gets

612
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:05,960
Speaker 7: to decide that on the field. I think he said

613
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 7: he said after the game. What a banger of a quote.

614
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:11,880
Speaker 7: He said, I've got the pen. I've got the pen

615
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:13,680
Speaker 7: in the paper, and I'm the one writing the story.

616
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 7: And it's true.

617
00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:15,120
Speaker 3: I love that.

618
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:17,160
Speaker 2: Now, this has been one of the best seasons we've

619
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:18,280
Speaker 2: ever seen from Dak.

620
00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:19,960
Speaker 3: He's putting up career numbers.

621
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:23,959
Speaker 2: What's the biggest reason for Dak's success this season?

622
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:29,080
Speaker 7: So, look, I've covered Dak's entire career. I was I

623
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:33,120
Speaker 7: was covering the Cowboys the day he got drafted. I'm

624
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 7: a lot people will tell you. I'm a longtime Dak defender.

625
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:39,160
Speaker 7: I would say Dek has really Dek has been a

626
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:42,960
Speaker 7: very very good quarterback. I would say from the time

627
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:45,320
Speaker 7: the Cowboys traded for Amari Cooper. So I mean going

628
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:47,880
Speaker 7: on five years now, and I always thought, Look, he

629
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 7: struggled with interceptions last year. There were reasons for that

630
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:54,040
Speaker 7: beyond his own level of play. He has been a

631
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:56,880
Speaker 7: low interception guy for the vast majority of his career.

632
00:29:57,360 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 7: He said in the offseason he thought it would get

633
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 7: sort out this year. He's been proven right to this point.

634
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 7: He has always been a very very good quarterback, but

635
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:08,280
Speaker 7: I think a the Cowboys have done a good job

636
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:11,040
Speaker 7: of adding talent to his offense. He's got a better

637
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:13,360
Speaker 7: cast to work with this year than he did last year.

638
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:15,720
Speaker 7: Steedee Lamb has grown into one of the best young

639
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 7: receivers in football. Brandon Cooks is a much better secondary

640
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 7: option than what he was working with last year. His

641
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:25,040
Speaker 7: young tight ends are growing into their own, so for starters,

642
00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 7: he's just working with a much higher caliber of player.

643
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:30,680
Speaker 7: But on top of that, I mean, the guy turned

644
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:32,800
Speaker 7: thirty this year and he's been starting since he was

645
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:36,080
Speaker 7: a rookie. So you know, I think, what's that old

646
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:38,920
Speaker 7: cliche about ten thousand hours on the mask turns you

647
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 7: into an expert or whatever, you know, I think you're

648
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:44,880
Speaker 7: seeing that where Look, Dak is not the most physically

649
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 7: gifted quarterback in the league. He was a fourth round

650
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:49,560
Speaker 7: pick for a reason. But you give a guy a

651
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 7: decade of starting in the NFL and seeing everything that

652
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:55,080
Speaker 7: teams can throw at you, I think that makes a difference.

653
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 7: So I think you're seeing a blend of his time

654
00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:02,480
Speaker 7: on task. It's having a really nice supporting cast around him,

655
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:03,880
Speaker 7: and it's paying dividends.

656
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 2: Now the game this weekend, it's an NFC showdown between

657
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 2: the Eagles and the forty nine ers.

658
00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:10,720
Speaker 3: Who are you taking? And why?

659
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:15,400
Speaker 7: Oh? Man, look, I can hear the Eagles. I can

660
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:16,920
Speaker 7: hear the Eagles right now. I mean I would be

661
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 7: mad if I were the Eagles or an Eagles fan,

662
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:21,760
Speaker 7: you know, being a home underdog. They beat the Niners

663
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:24,760
Speaker 7: in the playoffs last year. They've basically beaten all comers.

664
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:27,080
Speaker 7: The only time they've lost this year was when they

665
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:29,800
Speaker 7: completely melted down and turned the ball over four times.

666
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:34,440
Speaker 7: But ah, there's just so much talent on that Niners team.

667
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:37,440
Speaker 7: And I mean, if you're putting me on the spot,

668
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:40,640
Speaker 7: I'll take the Niners if you promise me that. I'm

669
00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 7: if you promised me brock hert Perty's staying healthy this

670
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:46,120
Speaker 7: time around. I just think there's so much talent there.

671
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:48,840
Speaker 7: The truth of the matter is the you know, the

672
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 7: Eagles have had to pull it out of the fire

673
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 7: four weeks in a row, and that is impressive in

674
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:57,120
Speaker 7: its own right. But when they're clicking, man, and everybody's healthy,

675
00:31:57,160 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 7: which seems like it's the case right now for San Francisco,

676
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:02,720
Speaker 7: I just think they're probably the best team in the league.

677
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:05,640
Speaker 7: So I understand that that has the potential to age

678
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:07,760
Speaker 7: poorly because Philly keeps finding a way to do this.

679
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:09,320
Speaker 7: But I like the Niners.

680
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:09,800
Speaker 3: I'm with you.

681
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:13,520
Speaker 2: That was like my whole first like torn take in

682
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:14,479
Speaker 2: her first seven.

683
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 4: All right, Dave, I got one more for you. And

684
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:20,520
Speaker 4: it's kind of twofold. So you've been around the NFL

685
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:23,880
Speaker 4: for so long? What did you make of Tom Brady's

686
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:28,160
Speaker 4: comments that the league is now mediocre and all of

687
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:32,360
Speaker 4: these ref calls lately, Like these calls, it's it really,

688
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:34,800
Speaker 4: it's frustrating to watch.

689
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:37,080
Speaker 3: Do you think it goes hand in hand? What do

690
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:37,880
Speaker 3: you make of all that?

691
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:42,360
Speaker 7: I mean, so I'm a long time The refereeing situation

692
00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:45,560
Speaker 7: in the NFL drives me crazy. I mean, it's it

693
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:48,760
Speaker 7: is however many billion dollar industry. I mean, it is

694
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 7: the most popular product that America exports. Like this is

695
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:56,280
Speaker 7: what we do. It's our biggest thing. And the referees

696
00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:59,360
Speaker 7: are not full time employees, Like we expect these guys

697
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:03,160
Speaker 7: to have a second job and study this stuff after

698
00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:06,040
Speaker 7: work Monday to Friday and then show up and do

699
00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:08,600
Speaker 7: the job. And I mean, to their credit, they do it.

700
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:11,200
Speaker 7: But there's just got to be a way, like a

701
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:14,080
Speaker 7: better way, I should say. I think the officiating in

702
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 7: this league is it's terribly inconsistent and usually pretty atrocious. Honestly,

703
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:22,800
Speaker 7: it's amazing that the Seahawks Cowboys game was as good

704
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:25,280
Speaker 7: as it was because there were two hundred and fifty

705
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:29,240
Speaker 7: five yards of penalty back thrown. So yeah, I mean,

706
00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:31,320
Speaker 7: that's that's part of it. I just think the NFL

707
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:34,400
Speaker 7: has an officiating issue that they refuse to acknowledge. As

708
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:38,000
Speaker 7: far as Tom Brady, you know, part of me I

709
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:39,920
Speaker 7: kind of roll my eyes and think, like, yeah, the

710
00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:43,600
Speaker 7: old heads always think that it's watered down. And on

711
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:46,600
Speaker 7: top of that, look, I respect the hell out of

712
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:50,320
Speaker 7: Tom Brady, but I think the I think the game

713
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:53,479
Speaker 7: has been changed because of quarterbacks like Tom Brady. You know,

714
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:57,000
Speaker 7: you lose you lose Tom Brady to an ACL injury

715
00:33:57,440 --> 00:34:00,760
Speaker 7: on the first series of the two thousd an eight season,

716
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:03,440
Speaker 7: and that changes the way that you legislate these hits.

717
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:06,960
Speaker 7: I mean, the sport is completely different. I think a

718
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:09,440
Speaker 7: big part of that is the NFL knows that it's

719
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:13,040
Speaker 7: bread is buttered with franchise quarterbacks and high flying offenses.

720
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:15,000
Speaker 7: You want to protect those guys. You want them to

721
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:18,360
Speaker 7: be healthy, and yeah, it probably has watered down the

722
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:21,160
Speaker 7: game to a degree, But in some way, I think

723
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:23,480
Speaker 7: you have Tom Brady and Peyton Manning and all of

724
00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 7: those guys to thank for that.

725
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:27,479
Speaker 2: And one of those guys that we saw go down

726
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:31,839
Speaker 2: Week one of this season, Aaron Rodgers thoughts on him

727
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:35,080
Speaker 2: back at practice eleven weeks after tearing his achilles.

728
00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:39,600
Speaker 7: I mean, I hope he knows what he's doing right.

729
00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:44,880
Speaker 7: He's It's very obvious Aaron Rodgers want he wants to

730
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:47,120
Speaker 7: be right, and he wants to get one over on people.

731
00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:50,279
Speaker 7: And I'm not I'm not writing off the work that

732
00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:53,840
Speaker 7: he's done to get to this point. It's clearly incredibly impressive.

733
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:55,360
Speaker 3: It feels personal, right.

734
00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:58,440
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, absolutely it feels I mean, he said it.

735
00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:00,400
Speaker 7: He said it all the way back in stept. His

736
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:04,279
Speaker 7: quote was something like, you know, put a timeline on

737
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:05,880
Speaker 7: me and tell me I can't do it, and then

738
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:08,120
Speaker 7: watch what happens, and sure enough, here he is. I

739
00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:11,919
Speaker 7: don't I don't fully buy that he could truly play

740
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:14,040
Speaker 7: a football game. And even if he could, I don't

741
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:16,359
Speaker 7: I don't necessarily think it's Yeah, I don't think it's

742
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:19,160
Speaker 7: a great idea, I tell you, he said the other day,

743
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:21,400
Speaker 7: like he was like, what's the worst that could happen.

744
00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:22,640
Speaker 7: I'll have time to rehab.

745
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:25,160
Speaker 3: And I was like, oh, and your.

746
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:29,160
Speaker 7: Career and your career, yeah exactly. I'm like, dude, you're

747
00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:31,120
Speaker 7: forty years old. You really think it's a good idea

748
00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:35,120
Speaker 7: to have like consecutive tears in the same like three months, fan, Yeah,

749
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:37,880
Speaker 7: I don't. I don't buy that it's a good idea.

750
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:42,000
Speaker 7: And to me, it just kind of signals. That means

751
00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:44,360
Speaker 7: that the New York Jets knew when they traded for

752
00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:46,680
Speaker 7: Aaron Rodgers that he was going to be calling the shots.

753
00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:49,839
Speaker 7: And that is very, very evident. So, like I said,

754
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:51,200
Speaker 7: I mean, I wish him the best. I don't want

755
00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:53,279
Speaker 7: the guy to get hurt, but I hope he knows

756
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:53,799
Speaker 7: what he's doing.

757
00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:56,200
Speaker 3: Same, Dave, thank you so much for joining us. We

758

Speaker 2: When we come back, the dudes and the don'ts in sports.

763
00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:06,520
Speaker 2: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.

764
00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:11,279
Speaker 1: Second down from the Alabama seventeen. Snap it back to bank,

Speaker 12: Georgia strikes first another off tackle run, that time in

768
00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:23,320
Speaker 12: between Tate Ratleis and Amarius Mems.

769
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:25,160
Speaker 7: It was great patience there.

Speaker 3: Championship weekend.

00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:30,040

00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:29,080
Speaker 2: a media member's phone and recorded himself doing a backflip,

842
00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:31,920
Speaker 2: and the NFL punished that media member by taking his

843
00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:35,239
Speaker 2: credential away for the rest of the season. So Tyreek

844
00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:37,880
Speaker 2: said he's going to pay his salary.

845
00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:39,080

00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:55,200

902
00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:31,799

907
00:42:45,320 --> 00:42:47,640
Speaker 2: I was sidelined for the Kings during their Stanley Cup runs,

908
00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:51,160

909
00:42:51,239 --> 00:42:54,160
Speaker 2: been back as much as I would like to. Hockey

910
00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:56,320
Speaker 2: is one of my favorite live sporting events to watch.

911
00:42:56,520 --> 00:43:00,839
Speaker 2: Watching it is nothing clearly, especially like I'm not compare, I.

912
00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:03,160
Speaker 3: Don't know hockey the way I know others doesn't matter.

913
00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:04,719
Speaker 3: Though you feel invested.

914
00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:07,719
Speaker 4: You do feel invested, but watching it at home, it

915
00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:11,799
Speaker 4: is hard to follow, follow or like just kind of

916
00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:14,040
Speaker 4: like pay attention to little things that they do.

917
00:43:14,440 --> 00:43:14,600
Speaker 3: Right.

918
00:43:14,719 --> 00:43:16,520
Speaker 4: So it was like my first time being so close.

919
00:43:16,560 --> 00:43:18,680
Speaker 4: I've been to King's game. I've actually been to Ducks

920
00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:20,359
Speaker 4: games as well, but this is the first time I

921
00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:22,160
Speaker 4: was so close where I was like literally able to

922
00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:24,960
Speaker 4: see them like make moves with purpose.

923
00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:28,279
Speaker 3: Did you become a fan? I mean, may, I may?

924
00:43:28,560 --> 00:43:31,120
Speaker 3: I'm I'm headed there. I own a King shirt. I

925
00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:33,400
Speaker 3: don't own a Duck shirt, but I will. I do

926
00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:34,200
Speaker 3: own a King shirt.

927
00:43:34,239 --> 00:43:36,920
Speaker 2: I've had one for years actually, in fact, after they

00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:38,440

00:44:14,520 --> 00:44:17,680
Speaker 2: I love that where I'm having like storytime, like each

00:44:20,120 --> 00:44:21,120
Speaker 3: It was incredible.

947
00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:25,040
Speaker 2: I uh yeah, that's and like being a part of

948
00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:28,239
Speaker 2: the parade in my hometown with the Stanley Cup su

949
00:44:28,360 --> 00:44:30,800
Speaker 2: Hermosa Beach and Manhattan Beach was like pretty special.

950
00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:34,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like you were a king. That's the thing.

951
00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:36,759
Speaker 2: About being like a team reporter. You are like you

952
00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:38,120
Speaker 2: are heart. Yeah, you're part of that.

953
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:38,839
Speaker 3: You're you were a key.

954
00:44:38,920 --> 00:44:40,600
Speaker 2: I mean I definitely did not I didn't do the work.

955
00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:41,719
Speaker 2: I was just talking about it.

956
00:44:41,800 --> 00:44:43,560
Speaker 3: But it was Yeah, it was fun to be a

957
00:44:43,600 --> 00:44:48,360
Speaker 3: part of that experience exactly. You were part of that team. Yeah, yeah,

958
00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:48,960
Speaker 3: that's amazing.

959
00:44:49,560 --> 00:44:53,600
Speaker 2: All right, let's get tell us that one day, maybe

960
00:44:53,600 --> 00:44:55,680
Speaker 2: you'll feel that like happiness with your flippers.

961
00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:59,040
Speaker 4: Maybe the sure, let's not look at the score, Alex,

962
00:44:59,120 --> 00:44:59,640
Speaker 4: like I was.

963
00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:02,120
Speaker 2: Like losing forty eight to fifty nine right now to

964
00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:04,920
Speaker 2: Golden State very on brand, and they're just showing James

965
00:45:04,920 --> 00:45:06,760
Speaker 2: hard and spears.

966
00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:11,160
Speaker 3: Very on brand. All right, Braids, try to find the

967
00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:12,080
Speaker 3: positives there.

968
00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:15,200
Speaker 2: Okay, we're going to bring back a segment this week

969
00:45:15,600 --> 00:45:18,480
Speaker 2: because we have a new patch of teams that we

970
00:45:18,600 --> 00:45:23,239
Speaker 2: need to break down. Okay, are they contenders or are

971
00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:27,120
Speaker 2: they pretenders? We have three teams that have hit extreme

972
00:45:27,280 --> 00:45:30,400
Speaker 2: highs and some pretty big lows this season. We're going

973
00:45:30,480 --> 00:45:32,440
Speaker 2: to go through and Monty and I are going to

974
00:45:32,480 --> 00:45:36,720
Speaker 2: say if we think they are contenders or pretenders. Let's

975
00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:45,720
Speaker 2: start in Denver. The Broncos I believe are playoff contenders.

976
00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:49,680
Speaker 2: This team did a full one eighty, all right. They

977
00:45:49,719 --> 00:45:53,000
Speaker 2: won five straight, tied with the Eagles for the longest

978
00:45:53,080 --> 00:45:56,440
Speaker 2: active winning streak, and since their win streak started in

979
00:45:56,480 --> 00:46:01,120
Speaker 2: Week seven, RUSS is sixth in power rating, fifth in

980
00:46:01,200 --> 00:46:05,800
Speaker 2: completion percentage, nine touchdowns, no interceptions. It feels like Sean

981
00:46:05,880 --> 00:46:10,440
Speaker 2: Payton and Russell Wilson are finally like they felt they

982
00:46:10,560 --> 00:46:13,040
Speaker 2: found some like common ground, because there were some like

983
00:46:14,160 --> 00:46:17,480
Speaker 2: snarky remarks and getting like hey, stop kissing babies, and

984
00:46:17,640 --> 00:46:18,759
Speaker 2: like go to practice.

985
00:46:18,960 --> 00:46:19,359
Speaker 3: I don't know.

986
00:46:19,520 --> 00:46:22,240
Speaker 2: The Devats has also turned things around since week seven.

987
00:46:22,320 --> 00:46:25,359
Speaker 2: They are tied for second in points allowed. But let's

988
00:46:25,400 --> 00:46:30,160
Speaker 2: take a look at their remaining schedule. Okay, at Texans

989
00:46:30,880 --> 00:46:36,120
Speaker 2: at Chargers, at Lions, versus the Patriots, versus the Chargers

990
00:46:36,280 --> 00:46:41,319
Speaker 2: at Raiders. Realistically, they have a chance to win all

991
00:46:41,320 --> 00:46:44,840
Speaker 2: of these. Half of their remaining games are division games

992
00:46:46,040 --> 00:46:48,960
Speaker 2: and five of the six are AFC games, meaning they

993
00:46:49,040 --> 00:46:54,160
Speaker 2: control their own destiny. And at this point, I they

994
00:46:54,440 --> 00:46:57,759
Speaker 2: feel the way we've seen them turn it around that

995
00:46:57,840 --> 00:46:59,879
Speaker 2: their playoff contenders.

996
00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:01,759
Speaker 3: I agree with you, Alex, I.

997
00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:04,719
Speaker 4: Love they are playoff contenders clearly.

998
00:47:04,840 --> 00:47:08,080
Speaker 3: The first couple of weeks like growing pains.

999
00:47:07,960 --> 00:47:11,320
Speaker 4: A new coach, Come on, you know, bad loss against

1000
00:47:11,320 --> 00:47:14,880
Speaker 4: the Dolphins. Yes, we'll never forget that score, nobody ever will,

1001
00:47:15,400 --> 00:47:16,760
Speaker 4: but growing pains.

1002
00:47:16,800 --> 00:47:17,560
Speaker 3: It seems that.

1003
00:47:17,600 --> 00:47:23,000
Speaker 4: Though as though Sean Payton has figured out what Russell Westbrook. Sorry,

1004
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:25,440
Speaker 4: Clippers are in front of my face. What Russell Wilson

1005
00:47:25,640 --> 00:47:29,600
Speaker 4: is able to do? I watch him and it's like,

1006
00:47:29,920 --> 00:47:32,319
Speaker 4: am I gonna see Wilson throw for three hundred four

1007
00:47:32,400 --> 00:47:35,000
Speaker 4: hundred yards? No, because he doesn't need to, because they

1008
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:38,480
Speaker 4: have figured it out. I am really impressed with what

1009
00:47:38,640 --> 00:47:41,279
Speaker 4: the Chargers have done. Remember, they made changes to their

1010
00:47:41,360 --> 00:47:44,279
Speaker 4: roster when things were like not going well. They got

1011
00:47:44,360 --> 00:47:46,840
Speaker 4: rid of Randery, Randy Gregory, Frank Clark.

1012
00:47:47,080 --> 00:47:48,320
Speaker 3: They made changes.

1013
00:47:49,160 --> 00:47:51,239
Speaker 4: Those players also had like a little bit of a

1014
00:47:51,360 --> 00:47:53,719
Speaker 4: reputation that maybe they were tough to work with. Then

1015
00:47:53,800 --> 00:47:56,200
Speaker 4: you know, got rid of that, and all of a

1016
00:47:56,239 --> 00:47:59,120
Speaker 4: sudden they are one hundred percent of contender. And not

1017
00:47:59,239 --> 00:48:01,960
Speaker 4: just because they're but the AFC, come on, it's so

1018
00:48:02,160 --> 00:48:02,879
Speaker 4: it's messed up.

1019
00:48:02,960 --> 00:48:05,000
Speaker 3: Bengals, who bills.

1020
00:48:04,840 --> 00:48:09,000
Speaker 4: Disaster Browns, Joe Flacco's not the answer. Steelers they're figuring

1021
00:48:09,040 --> 00:48:09,960
Speaker 4: things out offensively.

1022
00:48:10,120 --> 00:48:13,600
Speaker 3: The Colts, maybe the Raiders. No, they are in a

1023
00:48:13,719 --> 00:48:14,560
Speaker 3: prime position.

1024
00:48:14,680 --> 00:48:17,160
Speaker 4: And given the schedule you just gave everybody, uh huh,

1025
00:48:17,200 --> 00:48:18,800
Speaker 4: they are in prime position.

1026
00:48:19,080 --> 00:48:21,799
Speaker 3: They control their own destiny. They really really do. Just win,

1027
00:48:22,239 --> 00:48:23,000
Speaker 3: just win twin.

1028
00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:26,640
Speaker 2: I'd be like when and you're in I mean when

1029
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:30,080
Speaker 2: and you're their game this weekend against the Texans. They

1030
00:48:30,120 --> 00:48:31,759
Speaker 2: are the teams that are eight to nine on the

1031
00:48:31,760 --> 00:48:34,400
Speaker 2: outside looking into the playoffs right now. So if they

1032
00:48:34,440 --> 00:48:38,560
Speaker 2: win tomorrow, they're already giving themselves that head start.

1033
00:48:38,400 --> 00:48:41,680
Speaker 3: Right, And like the experience that comes with Wilson and.

1034
00:48:41,560 --> 00:48:45,200
Speaker 2: Peyton, that goes a long way, right, Like you have

1035
00:48:45,320 --> 00:48:48,759
Speaker 2: to think, like there's no way Russ is washed. No, Right,

1036
00:48:48,840 --> 00:48:51,640
Speaker 2: that was weird. You just had like a weird start

1037
00:48:52,040 --> 00:48:55,080
Speaker 2: in Denver. And Sean Payton's one of the greatest coaches

1038
00:48:55,160 --> 00:48:58,840
Speaker 2: of our time. And if anyone could do it, I

1039
00:48:58,880 --> 00:48:59,960
Speaker 2: guess it's Sean Payton.

1040
00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:02,440
Speaker 3: And we're seeing that turnaround. So do it.

1041
00:49:02,560 --> 00:49:03,040
Speaker 7: I believe.

1042
00:49:03,320 --> 00:49:06,880
Speaker 3: I believe that they can win. Do you an apology

1043
00:49:07,440 --> 00:49:09,560
Speaker 3: for his early comments on Nathaniel Hackett?

1044
00:49:10,040 --> 00:49:13,000
Speaker 2: No, No, that was he was being truthful and honest.

1045
00:49:13,040 --> 00:49:14,640
Speaker 2: I never think you should take back something you can

1046
00:49:14,719 --> 00:49:17,680
Speaker 2: say like I didn't we very you, and because like

1047
00:49:17,760 --> 00:49:19,080
Speaker 2: you're in the coaching club, but he was.

1048
00:49:19,239 --> 00:49:21,280
Speaker 3: He was sitting in our seat. He was being a broadcaster.

1049
00:49:21,480 --> 00:49:24,720
Speaker 3: That's what he was getting paid to do in that moment.

1050
00:49:25,000 --> 00:49:28,799
Speaker 2: Okay, I understand there's like like the coaches club, you're

1051
00:49:28,840 --> 00:49:30,600
Speaker 2: not supposed to like talk bad about each other, but

1052
00:49:30,680 --> 00:49:32,440
Speaker 2: he was being honest and that was his truth.

1053
00:49:33,360 --> 00:49:35,359
Speaker 3: That was his truth, and that's what you do. That's

1054
00:49:35,360 --> 00:49:37,440
Speaker 3: what you do in this job. And now here he

1055
00:49:37,560 --> 00:49:39,600
Speaker 3: is dropping Mike's game after game. How many have they

1056
00:49:39,600 --> 00:49:40,440
Speaker 3: won in row five?

1057
00:49:41,040 --> 00:49:44,560
Speaker 2: They have won five strings five in a ride with

1058
00:49:44,640 --> 00:49:45,759
Speaker 2: the Eagles.

1059
00:49:45,680 --> 00:49:48,400
Speaker 3: Best team in the NFL for the longest active winning streak.

1060
00:49:49,880 --> 00:49:50,520
Speaker 3: Just putting nothing.

1061
00:49:50,600 --> 00:49:52,880
Speaker 2: All right, let's move on to our next team, and

1062
00:49:52,960 --> 00:49:55,319
Speaker 2: let's turn down the music a little for this next one.

1063
00:49:55,400 --> 00:49:59,880
Speaker 2: Because the Lions, I believe for pretenders.

1064
00:50:00,160 --> 00:50:00,279
Speaker 11: Ooh.

1065
00:50:00,600 --> 00:50:03,920
Speaker 2: I lost a lot of confidence in this team on

1066
00:50:03,960 --> 00:50:06,920
Speaker 2: Thanksgiving losing at home against the Packers.

1067
00:50:07,880 --> 00:50:10,240
Speaker 3: I don't think they have what it takes.

1068
00:50:09,920 --> 00:50:13,040
Speaker 2: In a big moment on the biggest stage to win

1069
00:50:13,560 --> 00:50:16,480
Speaker 2: a big game. They beat the Chiefs in Week one,

1070
00:50:16,520 --> 00:50:18,919
Speaker 2: but they didn't have Travis Kelcey or Chris Jones playing.

1071
00:50:18,920 --> 00:50:22,480
Speaker 2: That's a completely different team. Most of their wins this

1072
00:50:22,560 --> 00:50:24,720
Speaker 2: season haven't been against like.

1073
00:50:26,840 --> 00:50:28,000
Speaker 3: Strong teams.

1074
00:50:28,400 --> 00:50:30,360
Speaker 2: Their wins obviously, I said the Chiefs, but it was

1075
00:50:30,400 --> 00:50:36,080
Speaker 2: a different team in Week one without Travis Kelcey, Chris Jones, Falcons, Packers, Panthers, Bucks, Raiders,

1076
00:50:36,160 --> 00:50:42,640
Speaker 2: Chargers Bears. Jared Goff has had three turnovers in each

1077
00:50:42,640 --> 00:50:46,680
Speaker 2: of his last two games. Now, while they're trending, I

1078
00:50:46,719 --> 00:50:48,440
Speaker 2: don't want to say they're trending down, but they're not

1079
00:50:48,520 --> 00:50:51,919
Speaker 2: trending in the right direction. I think they'll still make

1080
00:50:52,400 --> 00:50:56,279
Speaker 2: the playoffs. They've made the playoffs quite a bit, but

1081
00:50:56,320 --> 00:51:02,480
Speaker 2: they have not won a playoff game since nineteen ninety one.

1082
00:51:03,880 --> 00:51:06,239
Speaker 2: They're looking they're trying to win their first playoff game

1083
00:51:06,360 --> 00:51:07,279
Speaker 2: in thirty.

1084
00:51:06,920 --> 00:51:10,520
Speaker 3: Two years, Monci, But I do not believe they can

1085
00:51:10,560 --> 00:51:11,400
Speaker 3: make a super.

1086
00:51:11,120 --> 00:51:14,640
Speaker 4: Bowl run, all right, But the the diff Denver Nuggets,

1087
00:51:14,640 --> 00:51:18,439
Speaker 4: the Denver Broncos contenders to make a super Bowl run

1088
00:51:18,719 --> 00:51:19,880
Speaker 4: or just to make the playoffs.

1089
00:51:20,280 --> 00:51:22,000
Speaker 2: I know that's a tough part, right, I kind of

1090
00:51:22,000 --> 00:51:23,359
Speaker 2: go back and forth with all of these.

1091
00:51:23,680 --> 00:51:26,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, So with the Lions, I just I look at

1092
00:51:26,920 --> 00:51:32,080
Speaker 4: the NFC just in general, right, Eagles, Cowboys, Niners?

1093
00:51:32,680 --> 00:51:36,759
Speaker 3: Yeah? Who else is better than the Lions? After that? Vikings,

1094
00:51:36,800 --> 00:51:39,000
Speaker 3: I don't think so. The Seahawks, I don't think so.

1095
00:51:39,160 --> 00:51:42,040
Speaker 4: I agree with you that that win was not or

1096
00:51:42,120 --> 00:51:44,360
Speaker 4: the loss to the Packers on Thanksgiving was not great.

1097
00:51:44,520 --> 00:51:46,560
Speaker 3: But I'm actually instead of looking.

1098
00:51:46,280 --> 00:51:49,200
Speaker 4: At it as a.

1099
00:51:48,239 --> 00:51:49,920
Speaker 3: As a bad thing for the Lions.

1100
00:51:50,160 --> 00:51:53,439
Speaker 4: I'm looking at as a really positive for the Packers right,

1101
00:51:53,840 --> 00:51:56,560
Speaker 4: not as a bad thing for the Lions. The mistakes

1102
00:51:56,560 --> 00:51:58,359
Speaker 4: that Jared Goff has made in the last couple of

1103
00:51:58,400 --> 00:52:00,000
Speaker 4: games haven't been great.

1104
00:52:00,200 --> 00:52:03,680
Speaker 3: But they are really the fourth best team in the NFC.

1105
00:52:04,719 --> 00:52:07,720
Speaker 3: They look at that, look at that? Who who again?

1106
00:52:07,800 --> 00:52:11,239
Speaker 2: The Packers, the Vikings, Cowboys, No, that's what I'm saying.

1107
00:52:11,360 --> 00:52:13,440
Speaker 4: Cowboys, Eagles, and the forty nine Ers. They are the

1108
00:52:13,440 --> 00:52:17,960
Speaker 4: better teams. But after that, it's Lions. That's you know

1109
00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:19,280
Speaker 4: what I mean. So they're one hundred.

1110
00:52:19,280 --> 00:52:21,200
Speaker 3: I agree with you. They're gonna make the playoffs, yeah,

1111
00:52:21,239 --> 00:52:21,640
Speaker 3: are they?

1112
00:52:21,800 --> 00:52:24,280
Speaker 2: They might get that, they might get their first playoff

1113
00:52:24,320 --> 00:52:26,879
Speaker 2: winning thirty two years, but I don't think they're gonna

1114
00:52:26,880 --> 00:52:27,360
Speaker 2: get past that.

1115
00:52:27,440 --> 00:52:29,640
Speaker 4: I don't think so either. And if they did, I don't.

1116
00:52:29,760 --> 00:52:31,919
Speaker 4: I don't see them winning the Super Bowl. It would

1117
00:52:31,960 --> 00:52:34,560
Speaker 4: be a very great story, but I don't see it.

1118
00:52:34,760 --> 00:52:35,560
Speaker 3: But it is there.

1119
00:52:35,600 --> 00:52:37,400
Speaker 4: They're gonna be in the playoffs. We'll see what happens

1120
00:52:37,400 --> 00:52:39,360
Speaker 4: in Game one, but they are right now. They're the

1121
00:52:39,400 --> 00:52:41,000
Speaker 4: fourth BEF best team in the NFC.

1122
00:52:41,760 --> 00:52:44,839
Speaker 3: The Beth, the Beth.

1123
00:52:44,920 --> 00:52:46,680
Speaker 2: That's how I talk for my dog Avi. That's the

1124
00:52:46,680 --> 00:52:51,200
Speaker 2: Beth I've ever seen. Thanks Mom for all the treats. Okay,

1125
00:52:51,200 --> 00:52:54,560
Speaker 2: because you think he has a Yeah, that's that's his

1126
00:52:54,640 --> 00:52:56,400
Speaker 2: voice in my head.

1127
00:52:55,480 --> 00:53:00,400
Speaker 3: That's great. Hey, Mom, gonna get yeah. I all the

1128
00:53:00,440 --> 00:53:01,439
Speaker 3: time for Ausi's.

1129
00:53:01,080 --> 00:53:01,360
Speaker 1: When you do.

1130
00:53:01,440 --> 00:53:03,919
Speaker 3: I'm like, oh, auzzie hy, what's up? Just here saying

1131
00:53:03,960 --> 00:53:04,239
Speaker 3: hi to me?

1132
00:53:04,320 --> 00:53:10,000
Speaker 2: Okay, it's time for America's team, you guys, the Dallas Cowboys.

1133
00:53:11,719 --> 00:53:13,880
Speaker 2: I got kind of like a split here because obviously

1134
00:53:13,880 --> 00:53:16,640
Speaker 2: we've been saying contenders for.

1135
00:53:16,520 --> 00:53:18,200
Speaker 3: The playoffs or the super Bowl.

1136
00:53:18,360 --> 00:53:22,680
Speaker 2: So I believe Dallas are both contenders and pretenders. I

1137
00:53:22,719 --> 00:53:24,319
Speaker 2: know it's confusing, but stick with me here.

1138
00:53:24,360 --> 00:53:27,959
Speaker 3: Okay. It's hard to deny that they're a great team.

1139
00:53:28,480 --> 00:53:28,640
Speaker 7: Right.

1140
00:53:28,680 --> 00:53:29,799
Speaker 3: They're winning the games that.

1141
00:53:29,760 --> 00:53:34,000
Speaker 2: They should, but they still lost the tight ones to

1142
00:53:34,040 --> 00:53:37,520
Speaker 2: the winning teams that they would be playing in the playoffs.

1143
00:53:37,560 --> 00:53:41,480
Speaker 2: I believe Dallas are playoff contenders but super Bowl pretenders.

1144
00:53:42,719 --> 00:53:45,239
Speaker 3: Now, why is Dallas good?

1145
00:53:45,520 --> 00:53:48,239
Speaker 2: They have the pieces right Ceedee Lamb has emerged as

1146
00:53:48,400 --> 00:53:50,520
Speaker 2: one of the best wide receivers this season. Dak is

1147
00:53:50,560 --> 00:53:53,960
Speaker 2: having a career. You're Micah Parsons is lights out. I

1148
00:53:54,000 --> 00:53:56,239
Speaker 2: mean the last play of the game on Thursday to

1149
00:53:56,360 --> 00:53:59,560
Speaker 2: just shut it down and get that win. The thing though,

1150
00:54:00,239 --> 00:54:04,560
Speaker 2: with the Cowboys and the playoffs, all believe it when

1151
00:54:04,600 --> 00:54:08,799
Speaker 2: I see it in the playoffs. They have won four

1152
00:54:08,880 --> 00:54:12,560
Speaker 2: playoff games since two thousand. I cannot put them in

1153
00:54:12,640 --> 00:54:15,960
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl contender role until they have beaten the

1154
00:54:15,960 --> 00:54:19,360
Speaker 2: best teams. Their three losses have come against the Eagles,

1155
00:54:20,239 --> 00:54:23,920
Speaker 2: the forty nine Ers, and the Cardinals. But sometimes you

1156
00:54:24,000 --> 00:54:25,920
Speaker 2: just have a bad game and that's okay. But they

1157
00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:29,120
Speaker 2: lost to the two best teams in the NFC, and

1158
00:54:29,160 --> 00:54:34,239
Speaker 2: they need to prove that they are great against great teams. Now,

1159
00:54:34,320 --> 00:54:38,000
Speaker 2: let me just let me read you their remaining schedule

1160
00:54:38,560 --> 00:54:42,000
Speaker 2: versus the Eagles next weekend Sunday Night Football at Bills

1161
00:54:42,160 --> 00:54:46,839
Speaker 2: at Dolphins, versus Lions at Commanders. Yeah that's one, two, three,

1162
00:54:47,000 --> 00:54:48,640
Speaker 2: four really tough games.

1163
00:54:48,360 --> 00:54:48,719
Speaker 3: In a row.

1164
00:54:48,760 --> 00:54:51,520
Speaker 2: And then they should just like explode on the Commanders.

1165
00:54:51,719 --> 00:54:55,360
Speaker 2: But yeah, they're fifty to fifty for me. Give it

1166
00:54:55,360 --> 00:54:55,880
Speaker 2: to me, Manci.

1167
00:54:56,080 --> 00:54:58,120
Speaker 4: You know, I literally, if you looked at my notes,

1168
00:54:58,160 --> 00:55:00,960
Speaker 4: I have Cowboys and I have no notes because it's

1169
00:55:01,000 --> 00:55:05,680
Speaker 4: so obvious, like it's the eye test, right, what you

1170
00:55:05,840 --> 00:55:08,640
Speaker 4: just said. You have a great record, but you haven't

1171
00:55:08,680 --> 00:55:13,200
Speaker 4: beaten the teams that matter. And it's impossible to ignore that. Now,

1172
00:55:13,239 --> 00:55:15,479
Speaker 4: in a couple of weeks we might be saying something else,

1173
00:55:15,840 --> 00:55:20,000
Speaker 4: but it's just impossible to not look at that. And

1174
00:55:20,280 --> 00:55:23,960
Speaker 4: as great as they have been against the Commanders and

1175
00:55:24,239 --> 00:55:27,560
Speaker 4: teams that you should giants, we need.

1176
00:55:27,400 --> 00:55:29,400
Speaker 3: You to do it when it matters.

1177
00:55:29,480 --> 00:55:32,799
Speaker 2: So next weekend Saurday Night Football and immerse the Eagles. Yeah,

1178
00:55:32,840 --> 00:55:35,720
Speaker 2: and the following week the Bills, and then the Dolphins.

1179
00:55:35,320 --> 00:55:36,960
Speaker 3: And then in play three in a row and then

1180
00:55:36,960 --> 00:55:39,319
Speaker 3: in the playoffs. Well yeah, you run four playoff games

1181
00:55:39,360 --> 00:55:40,120
Speaker 3: in twenty three years.

1182
00:55:40,160 --> 00:55:44,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, Like when I see it, deliver in crucial moments,

1183
00:55:44,840 --> 00:55:48,560
Speaker 4: and those are crucial moments, crucial games. It's just we

1184
00:55:48,600 --> 00:55:51,400
Speaker 4: cannot deny it. We cannot deny that they have not

1185
00:55:51,880 --> 00:55:55,080
Speaker 4: beat the two other teams that they need to be. Now, again,

1186
00:55:55,200 --> 00:55:58,000
Speaker 4: a lot a lot is happening Eagles tonight against the

1187
00:55:58,000 --> 00:55:59,800
Speaker 4: forty nine ers all of a sudden, let's say the

1188
00:56:00,080 --> 00:56:01,240
Speaker 4: goals tonight tomorrow.

1189
00:56:01,360 --> 00:56:03,400
Speaker 3: That's gonna say it, right. I don't know what's in

1190
00:56:03,440 --> 00:56:06,879
Speaker 3: an alternate universe. Yeah, yeah, but you got to saying

1191
00:56:06,920 --> 00:56:09,759
Speaker 3: like it is. It is right in front of our faces.

1192
00:56:09,920 --> 00:56:13,640
Speaker 4: Why We can't just say they are full on contenders,

1193
00:56:13,960 --> 00:56:18,400
Speaker 4: but we also cannot deny that they are a good team.

1194
00:56:18,400 --> 00:56:19,200
Speaker 3: We'll see, you know.

1195
00:56:19,280 --> 00:56:21,960
Speaker 4: I don't understand why the Cowboys don't run the ball

1196
00:56:22,200 --> 00:56:25,360
Speaker 4: more through uh Tony Pollard. I don't know why. I

1197
00:56:25,360 --> 00:56:26,920
Speaker 4: feel like if they did that they would get a

1198
00:56:26,960 --> 00:56:28,279
Speaker 4: slight edge. But maybe they will.

1199
00:56:28,320 --> 00:56:31,320
Speaker 3: They're figuring things out, like you just said. But I agree.

1200
00:56:31,440 --> 00:56:33,560
Speaker 4: I agree with everything you said, and it's impossible to

1201
00:56:33,600 --> 00:56:34,720
Speaker 4: deny it.

1202
00:56:34,120 --> 00:56:35,440
Speaker 3: It really is.

1203
00:56:35,600 --> 00:56:39,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, playoff contenders, super Bowl pretenders. But prove me wrong.

1204
00:56:39,280 --> 00:56:41,879
Speaker 2: I would love to be proven wrong. I would love

1205
00:56:41,960 --> 00:56:45,400
Speaker 2: to see the Cowboys and that fan base. Yeah, go

1206
00:56:45,520 --> 00:56:48,319
Speaker 2: all the way back, talk about I believe it when

1207
00:56:48,360 --> 00:56:50,279
Speaker 2: I see it. All Right, we're gonna take a quick

Speaker 2: WHOA, all right, let's talk a little. I guess it

1242
00:58:18,040 --> 00:58:22,640
Speaker 2: would be college to NFL. Jim Harbaugh has been the

1243
00:58:22,680 --> 00:58:28,120
Speaker 2: topic of conversation in the college football world right recently,

1244
00:58:28,320 --> 00:58:34,960
Speaker 2: obviously with the suspension with Michigan, but with all the

1245
00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:37,600
Speaker 2: head coaches in the NFL in the hot seat his

1246
00:58:37,760 --> 00:58:42,640
Speaker 2: name has been floating around the NFL once again. So

1247
00:58:42,680 --> 00:58:46,400
Speaker 2: the first question I have, will it happen? I think

1248
00:58:46,440 --> 00:58:50,280
Speaker 2: it's very dependent on what happens in the college football playoffs.

1249
00:58:50,320 --> 00:58:52,800
Speaker 2: Right Michigan just won three games that he was suspended,

1250
00:58:53,280 --> 00:58:57,160
Speaker 2: including Ohio State last weekend, which was like the game

1251
00:58:58,200 --> 00:59:00,160
Speaker 2: his team is writing with all of.

1252
00:59:00,160 --> 00:59:01,720
Speaker 3: The momentum right now.

1253
00:59:01,800 --> 00:59:06,800
Speaker 2: If they win a national title, I think his job

1254
00:59:06,840 --> 00:59:08,960
Speaker 2: is complete in the college football world, and that would

1255
00:59:09,000 --> 00:59:12,120
Speaker 2: be the best chance that he heads back interest to

1256
00:59:12,200 --> 00:59:17,320
Speaker 2: the NFL. They play Iowa tonight in the Big Ten

1257
00:59:17,400 --> 00:59:20,440
Speaker 2: Championship game eight pm Eastern on Fox, first game back

1258
00:59:20,480 --> 00:59:23,760
Speaker 2: for Hardball after the three game suspension, looking to lock

1259
00:59:23,840 --> 00:59:27,920
Speaker 2: in their playoff spot.

1260
00:59:28,600 --> 00:59:29,360
Speaker 3: I think if they.

1261
00:59:29,200 --> 00:59:31,160
Speaker 2: Win this and they do well in the playoffs and

1262
00:59:31,200 --> 00:59:33,520
Speaker 2: they win it all, that would kind of be the

1263
00:59:33,600 --> 00:59:34,600
Speaker 2: cherry on top for him.

1264
00:59:34,960 --> 00:59:38,560
Speaker 4: Interesting, I actually did not think that if you thought

1265
00:59:38,560 --> 00:59:40,720
Speaker 4: the opposite, Yeah, I'm just like, why would you leave

1266
00:59:40,760 --> 00:59:43,640
Speaker 4: such a good thing, like you are loved?

1267
00:59:43,960 --> 00:59:47,000
Speaker 3: But look at what happens. He dealt with two suspensions

1268
00:59:47,120 --> 00:59:47,520
Speaker 3: right now.

1269
00:59:47,720 --> 00:59:51,600
Speaker 4: If there is more that will be coming out that

1270
00:59:51,720 --> 00:59:54,920
Speaker 4: we don't know about that he knows about, then obviously

1271
00:59:55,000 --> 00:59:57,000
Speaker 4: I would have a different opinion. But let's say like

1272
00:59:57,040 --> 00:59:59,800
Speaker 4: that is shut and we're done and no more scandal.

1273
00:59:59,840 --> 01:00:00,000
Speaker 12: Right.

1274
01:00:00,600 --> 01:00:03,200
Speaker 4: He is such a good thing the way he has

1275
01:00:03,280 --> 01:00:03,760
Speaker 4: loved there.

1276
01:00:03,800 --> 01:00:06,720
Speaker 3: As we've seen this, it's just wide leave a good thing.

1277
01:00:06,760 --> 01:00:08,640
Speaker 4: And like he's been an NFL coach, so it's not

1278
01:00:08,680 --> 01:00:10,640
Speaker 4: like he would be go to check off something off

1279
01:00:10,640 --> 01:00:11,320
Speaker 4: his bucket list.

1280
01:00:11,360 --> 01:00:12,240
Speaker 3: He's been there, right.

1281
01:00:12,560 --> 01:00:15,320
Speaker 4: And there's a lot of coaches that say, like it's

1282
01:00:15,400 --> 01:00:20,600
Speaker 4: very different, you know, coaching NFL players versus college Yeah, obviously.

1283
01:00:22,240 --> 01:00:27,840
Speaker 2: College athletes are you are molding men, you are creating them.

1284
01:00:28,240 --> 01:00:30,240
Speaker 2: NFL players, you're dealing with divas, right.

1285
01:00:30,200 --> 01:00:31,160
Speaker 3: And he is.

1286
01:00:31,320 --> 01:00:33,840
Speaker 4: I would say that he is more of a not

1287
01:00:33,880 --> 01:00:37,040
Speaker 4: a player's coach, right, more like a like a Bill Belichick,

1288
01:00:37,120 --> 01:00:39,480
Speaker 4: like a Sean Payton type that they are they are

1289
01:00:39,520 --> 01:00:42,520
Speaker 4: in charge, they are the captain instead of being like

1290
01:00:44,760 --> 01:00:47,800
Speaker 4: I'm blanking on the Raiders new coach Antonio Pierce, who

1291
01:00:48,120 --> 01:00:51,360
Speaker 4: is like a player's coach, So I feel that why

1292
01:00:51,360 --> 01:00:55,480
Speaker 4: would he leave something where it's just like this is this.

1293
01:00:55,400 --> 01:00:57,800
Speaker 2: Is great for me because you gotta you have to

1294
01:00:57,880 --> 01:00:59,720
Speaker 2: grow in life and you continue to go on and

1295
01:00:59,720 --> 01:01:03,720
Speaker 2: if you if you get the ultimate, got the national title.

1296
01:01:03,760 --> 01:01:05,680
Speaker 3: There's been a ton of drama while I was here.

1297
01:01:05,960 --> 01:01:08,480
Speaker 2: Let's just see where he would fit if there was

1298
01:01:08,520 --> 01:01:11,400
Speaker 2: a possibility, right, YEA look at the teams that might

1299
01:01:11,520 --> 01:01:12,200
Speaker 2: have openings.

1300
01:01:12,240 --> 01:01:13,320
Speaker 3: You just mentioned the Raiders.

1301
01:01:13,520 --> 01:01:16,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, However, I think this team seems to be rallying

1302
01:01:16,680 --> 01:01:20,040
Speaker 2: around Antonio Piers. And if the team is working under Peers,

1303
01:01:20,400 --> 01:01:22,960
Speaker 2: who was a linebacker coach, I say ride with him.

1304
01:01:22,960 --> 01:01:25,400
Speaker 2: So that will also depend on how they finish and

1305
01:01:25,560 --> 01:01:30,880
Speaker 2: ultimately what ownership wants to do. Bears could be enticing

1306
01:01:31,240 --> 01:01:35,640
Speaker 2: because they have two first round picks, one from the Panthers,

1307
01:01:35,680 --> 01:01:39,240
Speaker 2: which will most likely be the first overall pick, and

1308
01:01:39,280 --> 01:01:41,440
Speaker 2: then right now, if the season ended right now, they

1309
01:01:41,440 --> 01:01:43,840
Speaker 2: would have the fourth overall picks. It would have first

1310
01:01:44,120 --> 01:01:45,960
Speaker 2: and fourth. You could build your own team, get a

1311
01:01:46,000 --> 01:01:47,320
Speaker 2: new franchise quarterback.

1312
01:01:47,320 --> 01:01:48,240
Speaker 3: Because it seems like.

1313
01:01:48,160 --> 01:01:50,919
Speaker 2: They're leaning towards moving off of Justin fields and get

1314
01:01:50,960 --> 01:01:54,040
Speaker 2: some more weapons. That seems like an interesting fit.

1315
01:01:54,240 --> 01:01:56,960
Speaker 4: And they have already good pieces, Like you know what

1316
01:01:56,960 --> 01:01:59,240
Speaker 4: I'm saying, He's not gonna walk into something where I

1317
01:01:59,280 --> 01:02:01,120
Speaker 4: think it's to start from the ground up.

1318
01:02:01,280 --> 01:02:01,480
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1319
01:02:01,520 --> 01:02:03,200
Speaker 4: So I for the Bears, I was like, they have

1320
01:02:03,280 --> 01:02:07,400
Speaker 4: DJ Moore, Cole comet Montes sweat, like they have cap

1321
01:02:07,480 --> 01:02:11,760
Speaker 4: space also next year, Yeah, to continue making those moves,

1322
01:02:11,800 --> 01:02:12,520
Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying.

1323
01:02:12,640 --> 01:02:15,760
Speaker 3: Uh huh. And he began his career, his actual NFL

1324
01:02:15,800 --> 01:02:18,200
Speaker 3: career as a player in Chicago. Uh huh. I think

1325
01:02:18,240 --> 01:02:22,800
Speaker 3: another landing spot. Who's Chargers? Yeah that one here, Brandon's

1326
01:02:22,960 --> 01:02:24,840
Speaker 3: day is on the hot seaton.

1327
01:02:25,080 --> 01:02:27,320
Speaker 2: He's out, there's noybe he lasts till the end of

1328
01:02:27,320 --> 01:02:29,440
Speaker 2: the season, but there's no way he's back next season, right.

1329
01:02:29,720 --> 01:02:32,520
Speaker 2: And to have a talent like Justin Herbert and not

1330
01:02:32,600 --> 01:02:37,240
Speaker 2: have a winning record and only have played in one

1331
01:02:37,280 --> 01:02:39,360
Speaker 2: playoff game and he lost that playoff game in such

1332
01:02:39,440 --> 01:02:43,240
Speaker 2: horrible fashion, it's uh, but here's.

1333
01:02:43,040 --> 01:02:44,960
Speaker 3: What the charge and interesting that could be.

1334
01:02:45,040 --> 01:02:49,080
Speaker 4: The Spanos ownership seems to be not the greatest, right

1335
01:02:49,120 --> 01:02:51,959
Speaker 4: would he want to work with them? And also They're

1336
01:02:52,000 --> 01:02:54,840
Speaker 4: projected to have forty five point six million over the

1337
01:02:54,880 --> 01:02:57,920
Speaker 4: salary cap next year. Not a lot of flexibility, but

1338
01:02:58,000 --> 01:02:59,320
Speaker 4: you have great plays.

1339
01:02:59,600 --> 01:03:03,200
Speaker 3: Sure. In the second point, like la justin, I hear you.

1340
01:03:03,280 --> 01:03:06,720
Speaker 4: I just think it's like the ownership and the salary

1341
01:03:06,720 --> 01:03:08,720
Speaker 4: cap might be you know, I feel like all the

1342
01:03:08,760 --> 01:03:10,440
Speaker 4: stars have to align for him to pick a team.

1343
01:03:10,520 --> 01:03:13,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think they have to like win a title, right.

1344
01:03:13,920 --> 01:03:15,919
Speaker 2: I think that's again he's got to finish his job

1345
01:03:16,120 --> 01:03:17,280
Speaker 2: right right, right with Michigan.

1346
01:03:17,400 --> 01:03:21,960
Speaker 3: I agree, I agree. Can we put what about? What

1347
01:03:22,640 --> 01:03:24,400
Speaker 3: I'd say? What one more? A team that I don't

1348
01:03:24,400 --> 01:03:27,880
Speaker 3: think is on many people's lists. Huh, what if the Cowboys, oh,

1349
01:03:28,080 --> 01:03:29,400
Speaker 3: do not hold on?

1350
01:03:29,680 --> 01:03:32,720
Speaker 4: Not if they don't get as far as they think

1351
01:03:32,720 --> 01:03:34,000
Speaker 4: they sh not moving off McCarthy.

1352
01:03:34,080 --> 01:03:36,560
Speaker 2: I'm saying here it's a hot take, but I don't

1353
01:03:36,560 --> 01:03:38,600
Speaker 2: think it's happening. Now, let's check him with out hope

1354
01:03:38,600 --> 01:03:39,480

01:06:09,440 --> 01:06:12,040
Speaker 8: Absolutely thank you for having me greeting for Philly.

1400
01:06:12,280 --> 01:06:12,720
Speaker 3: I love it.

1401
01:06:12,760 --> 01:06:15,880
Speaker 2: Okay, So, as I mentioned, this is the game this weekend,

1402
01:06:15,920 --> 01:06:19,320
Speaker 2: forty nine ers in Philly against the Eagles. Give us

1403
01:06:19,320 --> 01:06:21,400
Speaker 2: an idea of what the mood has been like at

1404
01:06:21,400 --> 01:06:22,240
Speaker 2: practice all week.

1405
01:06:23,240 --> 01:06:25,800
Speaker 8: You know, I have to say it's been pretty loose,

1406
01:06:25,840 --> 01:06:27,840
Speaker 8: and I mean that in a good way. There has

1407
01:06:27,960 --> 01:06:31,280
Speaker 8: been this feeling of last year was last year, this

1408
01:06:31,360 --> 01:06:34,400
Speaker 8: year is this year. Nick Bosa said something interesting this week.

1409
01:06:34,440 --> 01:06:36,760
Speaker 8: He said they didn't finish the job either. So I

1410
01:06:36,760 --> 01:06:40,040
Speaker 8: don't think they're sitting there reminiscing about the NFC Championship game.

1411
01:06:40,320 --> 01:06:43,960
Speaker 8: So there does seem to be that feeling they are

1412
01:06:44,040 --> 01:06:46,960
Speaker 8: treating it like another game. I know there's a little

1413
01:06:47,000 --> 01:06:49,720
Speaker 8: extra umph for this one, but the mood has been

1414
01:06:49,920 --> 01:06:51,800
Speaker 8: pretty loose, and we got to go in there, we

1415
01:06:51,880 --> 01:06:54,400
Speaker 8: got to win it. And for all the trash talking

1416
01:06:54,440 --> 01:06:57,000
Speaker 8: that happened in the months after the game, this week

1417
01:06:57,040 --> 01:07:01,160
Speaker 8: has been relatively quiet in that way. To wonder is

1418
01:07:01,200 --> 01:07:03,280
Speaker 8: that also because there's a chance they'll see them again,

1419
01:07:03,640 --> 01:07:06,520
Speaker 8: that there's a high likelihood they see them again. But

1420
01:07:07,040 --> 01:07:10,640
Speaker 8: everyone just seems to be business as usual and on

1421
01:07:10,800 --> 01:07:11,640
Speaker 8: to Philly.

1422
01:07:11,880 --> 01:07:14,440
Speaker 3: Business as usual. Thanks for joining us, Tracy.

1423
01:07:14,600 --> 01:07:17,200
Speaker 4: You know I've been a big proponent that Christian McCaffrey

1424
01:07:17,200 --> 01:07:18,720
Speaker 4: should be in the MVP conversation.

1425
01:07:19,320 --> 01:07:20,240
Speaker 3: Tell me why he's not.

1426
01:07:22,600 --> 01:07:26,959
Speaker 8: Because he doesn't play quarterback. I mean, yeah, someone said

1427
01:07:27,040 --> 01:07:29,440
Speaker 8: something interesting to me a while ago.

1428
01:07:29,280 --> 01:07:29,760
Speaker 7: Peter King.

1429
01:07:29,800 --> 01:07:31,760
Speaker 8: I should give him credit. He was on my podcast

1430
01:07:31,760 --> 01:07:36,080
Speaker 8: and he said, if who which of these two people,

1431
01:07:36,200 --> 01:07:38,240
Speaker 8: if all of a sudden they god forbid, got hurt

1432
01:07:38,240 --> 01:07:40,160
Speaker 8: and we're out for the season, where would it make

1433
01:07:40,200 --> 01:07:43,040
Speaker 8: a big difference, bigger difference Rock Perty or Christian McCaffrey.

1434
01:07:43,160 --> 01:07:44,760
Speaker 8: And that's a tough one to think of, because I

1435
01:07:44,800 --> 01:07:47,440
Speaker 8: actually kind of think you could make the argument that

1436
01:07:48,080 --> 01:07:50,360
Speaker 8: either of them and both of them, he is very

1437
01:07:50,400 --> 01:07:52,640
Speaker 8: much the MVP of this team, that they can do

1438
01:07:52,720 --> 01:07:57,000
Speaker 8: what they do because Christian McCaffrey could do what he

1439
01:07:57,040 --> 01:07:58,800
Speaker 8: does and we've seen it since he came here in

1440
01:07:58,800 --> 01:08:01,040
Speaker 8: the middle of last season, and what he's done and

1441
01:08:01,120 --> 01:08:04,880
Speaker 8: change the offense. He makes every single person around them better.

1442
01:08:05,000 --> 01:08:08,440
Speaker 8: So I think it's probably because he's not the quarterback.

1443
01:08:08,600 --> 01:08:12,400
Speaker 8: But that being said, if brod forbid Christian McCaffrey was

1444
01:08:12,440 --> 01:08:15,120
Speaker 8: out for the season, would that be as bad as

1445
01:08:15,160 --> 01:08:16,880
Speaker 8: if Brock perty is out for the season. We don't

1446
01:08:16,880 --> 01:08:18,960
Speaker 8: know what Sam Darnald can or cannot do, But then

1447
01:08:19,000 --> 01:08:20,479
Speaker 8: you would make if you could make the argument that

1448
01:08:20,479 --> 01:08:22,560
Speaker 8: if Sam Donald came in and he had Christian McCaffrey,

1449
01:08:22,800 --> 01:08:25,000
Speaker 8: that he might be okay. So it is. It's definitely

1450
01:08:25,040 --> 01:08:26,760
Speaker 8: a tough conversation. But at the end of the day,

1451
01:08:26,760 --> 01:08:28,799
Speaker 8: I think he's not in it because he's not a quarterback,

1452
01:08:28,840 --> 01:08:31,519
Speaker 8: but he is as much an MVP of this team

1453
01:08:31,560 --> 01:08:33,680
Speaker 8: as anybody, and I think he absolutely should be in

1454
01:08:33,720 --> 01:08:34,880
Speaker 8: my conversation.

1455
01:08:34,560 --> 01:08:38,360
Speaker 2: Well, let's talk about Brock party and the quarterback because

1456
01:08:38,560 --> 01:08:42,040
Speaker 2: the rematch the NFC Championship game last season is where

1457
01:08:42,320 --> 01:08:46,559
Speaker 2: his season ended, right, So what would win mean for

1458
01:08:46,680 --> 01:08:47,719
Speaker 2: Brock tomorrow?

1459
01:08:48,640 --> 01:08:51,000
Speaker 8: Well, I think this for Brock, he talks a little

1460
01:08:51,000 --> 01:08:53,000
Speaker 8: bit about how last season he was also still kind

1461
01:08:53,040 --> 01:08:55,479
Speaker 8: of finding his way proving to his team that he

1462
01:08:55,479 --> 01:08:58,160
Speaker 8: could be an NFL quarterback, and he feels very differently

1463
01:08:58,240 --> 01:09:01,439
Speaker 8: this year. And I think this win for Brock Purty

1464
01:09:01,680 --> 01:09:03,679
Speaker 8: I don't know that he cares about this kind of stuff,

1465
01:09:03,720 --> 01:09:06,599
Speaker 8: because when he says he doesn't, I really believe he doesn't.

1466
01:09:06,920 --> 01:09:10,439
Speaker 8: But I do think nationally, for brock Purty, he wins

1467
01:09:10,439 --> 01:09:13,640
Speaker 8: this game tomorrow and perhaps all of this. He's a

1468
01:09:13,680 --> 01:09:16,479
Speaker 8: system quarterback. He's really just a seventh round for Optick.

1469
01:09:16,640 --> 01:09:19,200
Speaker 8: I could run that offense with Dee Bou, Stabuel and

1470
01:09:19,200 --> 01:09:21,439
Speaker 8: Brandon I you pushed by the way all the people

1471
01:09:21,439 --> 01:09:23,880
Speaker 8: that say that that, it's definitely not true, but it

1472
01:09:23,960 --> 01:09:26,800
Speaker 8: might end that. I don't think Brock cares about that.

1473
01:09:26,840 --> 01:09:29,840
Speaker 8: I actually there are few people I've covered that when

1474
01:09:29,880 --> 01:09:32,360
Speaker 8: they say they don't pay attention to the noise, this

1475
01:09:32,479 --> 01:09:34,479
Speaker 8: man really does not pay attention to the noise. He

1476
01:09:34,600 --> 01:09:37,280
Speaker 8: really does not care. He wants to win football games.

1477
01:09:37,320 --> 01:09:40,400
Speaker 8: He's winning football games. But I do think nationally it's

1478
01:09:40,439 --> 01:09:43,559
Speaker 8: maybe quiet that and it's not something that they have

1479
01:09:43,680 --> 01:09:46,439
Speaker 8: to hear all the time. But he said, honestly, for

1480
01:09:46,520 --> 01:09:48,560
Speaker 8: this week, he said, I'm going back there. Yeah, I

1481
01:09:48,600 --> 01:09:51,720
Speaker 8: got hurt there, but it's a football game. We have

1482
01:09:51,840 --> 01:09:54,960
Speaker 8: to win, and so I don't have this like trauma

1483
01:09:55,000 --> 01:09:57,720
Speaker 8: around it. I'm not going to walk out to the

1484
01:09:57,760 --> 01:09:59,880
Speaker 8: spot where I got hurt and take some time to

1485
01:10:00,120 --> 01:10:03,439
Speaker 8: he doesn't feel that way. And it's funny because in

1486
01:10:03,439 --> 01:10:05,400
Speaker 8: some ways it feels like five years ago, and in

1487
01:10:05,400 --> 01:10:07,720
Speaker 8: some ways it feels like six weeks ago. Yeah, but

1488
01:10:07,760 --> 01:10:10,280
Speaker 8: it does feel like a very different game, and he

1489
01:10:10,400 --> 01:10:12,760
Speaker 8: feels like a different quarterback. I mean, he's now been

1490
01:10:12,760 --> 01:10:16,040
Speaker 8: doing this a lot longer and he has the trust

1491
01:10:16,040 --> 01:10:19,760
Speaker 8: of everybody, and so I think for him at this point, yeah,

1492
01:10:19,800 --> 01:10:22,360
Speaker 8: he got hurt there, but he has a game to

1493
01:10:22,400 --> 01:10:23,759
Speaker 8: win tomorrow, so he can't really.

1494
01:10:23,680 --> 01:10:26,040
Speaker 2: Dwell on it now. The Eagles may have the best record,

1495
01:10:26,120 --> 01:10:28,120
Speaker 2: but the forty nine ers still seem to be the

1496
01:10:28,160 --> 01:10:31,760
Speaker 2: most well rounded team. What makes the forty nine ers

1497
01:10:31,800 --> 01:10:33,920
Speaker 2: the most complete team in the NFL?

1498
01:10:34,960 --> 01:10:36,719
Speaker 8: Well, I just think when you look at their offense,

1499
01:10:36,800 --> 01:10:38,799
Speaker 8: you look at their defense, you look at their special

1500
01:10:38,840 --> 01:10:42,519
Speaker 8: teams when they're on, they played complimentary football better than

1501
01:10:42,560 --> 01:10:44,800
Speaker 8: really any team I've seen. It reminds me a little

1502
01:10:44,800 --> 01:10:46,840
Speaker 8: bit of the twenty nineteen forty nine ers, but in

1503
01:10:46,840 --> 01:10:49,640
Speaker 8: some ways it might be even better. And it just

1504
01:10:49,760 --> 01:10:54,480
Speaker 8: feels like the chemistry among this group just makes them

1505
01:10:54,720 --> 01:10:57,800
Speaker 8: so complete and just makes them kind of go on

1506
01:10:57,880 --> 01:11:00,840
Speaker 8: all cylinders and they make each other better and that

1507
01:11:01,000 --> 01:11:02,880
Speaker 8: was the thing, Like you look back about this is

1508
01:11:02,920 --> 01:11:04,360
Speaker 8: going to be a whole other discussion. I'm not trying

1509
01:11:04,400 --> 01:11:05,880
Speaker 8: to open to him work. If you look at them,

1510
01:11:05,920 --> 01:11:08,840
Speaker 8: Michael Jordan, he made everyone around him better. That's kind

1511
01:11:08,880 --> 01:11:11,120
Speaker 8: of part of what made him so good. I feel

1512
01:11:11,120 --> 01:11:14,080
Speaker 8: like on this team, every one of these people make

1513
01:11:14,160 --> 01:11:16,000
Speaker 8: each other better. And part of that is there's just

1514
01:11:16,080 --> 01:11:18,720
Speaker 8: no ego. There's a lot of stars on the football team.

1515
01:11:18,760 --> 01:11:20,920
Speaker 8: I mean you look at the locker rooms designs, it's like, oh,

1516
01:11:20,960 --> 01:11:24,000
Speaker 8: there are a lot of stars, potential superstars. They make

1517
01:11:24,080 --> 01:11:26,760
Speaker 8: each other better and they just care about winning. And

1518
01:11:26,800 --> 01:11:29,599
Speaker 8: that's a big thing. But I think when tomorrow becomes

1519
01:11:29,600 --> 01:11:32,719
Speaker 8: a huge test of yes, they are the most complete team,

1520
01:11:32,880 --> 01:11:35,120
Speaker 8: but we've yet to seen the win one of these

1521
01:11:35,200 --> 01:11:39,599
Speaker 8: really tough spread Warner calls them grindy games. Tomorrow's the test.

1522
01:11:39,680 --> 01:11:41,720
Speaker 8: Can they win those games? Because they're not going to

1523
01:11:41,800 --> 01:11:44,040
Speaker 8: go far in the playoffs, they can't win those games.

1524
01:11:44,280 --> 01:11:46,519
Speaker 4: Obviously, the Eagles are going to be hard to stop.

1525
01:11:46,560 --> 01:11:48,760
Speaker 4: But you've been around the forty nine ers, what do

1526
01:11:48,800 --> 01:11:52,320
Speaker 4: you think their approach is going to be with the Eagles?

1527
01:11:52,320 --> 01:11:53,760
Speaker 3: How do you stop them?

1528
01:11:54,560 --> 01:11:54,760
Speaker 1: Well?

1529
01:11:54,800 --> 01:11:57,120
Speaker 8: I think a big thing obviously, and this is probably

1530
01:11:57,160 --> 01:12:00,400
Speaker 8: not groundbreaking analysis, and I know that we like kind

1531
01:12:00,400 --> 01:12:01,960
Speaker 8: of laughed at the term and all of that, but

1532
01:12:02,120 --> 01:12:04,160
Speaker 8: you got to avoid the toushput They got to keep

1533
01:12:04,200 --> 01:12:08,000
Speaker 8: them second and medium, third and medium, second along is

1534
01:12:08,120 --> 01:12:11,120
Speaker 8: third and long because you can't defend it. You cannot

1535
01:12:11,120 --> 01:12:13,800
Speaker 8: defend it. So what you don't want is to have

1536
01:12:14,080 --> 01:12:16,320
Speaker 8: to have these drives where you work really hard and

1537
01:12:16,320 --> 01:12:17,720
Speaker 8: then you get them to third and one and fourth

1538
01:12:17,760 --> 01:12:19,559
Speaker 8: and one and they're gonna make it with the toushber

1539
01:12:19,640 --> 01:12:22,000
Speaker 8: So I think that's a huge thing. And they've got

1540
01:12:22,000 --> 01:12:24,439
Speaker 8: to keep Jalen Hurts in the pocket. The Buffalo Bills

1541
01:12:24,479 --> 01:12:27,840
Speaker 8: will tell you good idea. So the defensive line where

1542
01:12:27,960 --> 01:12:30,759
Speaker 8: Chase Young has made a tremendous difference for all of us,

1543
01:12:30,920 --> 01:12:33,920
Speaker 8: this line and a defensive front, they got to keep

1544
01:12:33,960 --> 01:12:37,160
Speaker 8: them in the pocket, keep them as a traditional pocket

1545
01:12:37,200 --> 01:12:39,600
Speaker 8: throwing quarterback, because as soon as he gets out of

1546
01:12:39,600 --> 01:12:41,360
Speaker 8: there with his legs, all thats are off.

1547
01:12:41,479 --> 01:12:43,720
Speaker 2: Hey, speaking of Chase Young, since they added him at

1548
01:12:43,760 --> 01:12:46,880
Speaker 2: the trade deadline, they've had fifteen sacks over those three games.

1549
01:12:47,000 --> 01:12:49,400
Speaker 2: One kind of boost has he given this defense.

1550
01:12:50,200 --> 01:12:52,320
Speaker 8: I mean, it's really been incredible because you have this

1551
01:12:52,400 --> 01:12:55,240
Speaker 8: defensive line that was so talented and so great, and

1552
01:12:55,240 --> 01:12:58,479
Speaker 8: they just couldn't bring pressure to the quarterback like they

1553
01:12:58,520 --> 01:13:01,400
Speaker 8: had in years past, and he's just given them such

1554
01:13:01,400 --> 01:13:04,519
Speaker 8: a boost. First of all, his chemistry with them. It's

1555
01:13:04,600 --> 01:13:06,479
Speaker 8: kind of been pretty amazing for how quickly he has

1556
01:13:06,479 --> 01:13:07,680
Speaker 8: come in. I think part of that, of course, is

1557
01:13:07,680 --> 01:13:10,720
Speaker 8: the relationship in the past with Nick Bosa, but just

1558
01:13:10,840 --> 01:13:14,080
Speaker 8: his presence on the field makes difference. He's such a

1559
01:13:14,120 --> 01:13:17,360
Speaker 8: tremendous talent, and it's been health that's kept him off

1560
01:13:17,400 --> 01:13:19,439
Speaker 8: the field over the last several years. But now I

1561
01:13:19,479 --> 01:13:22,880
Speaker 8: think he's in a situation where he's so talented, he's

1562
01:13:23,000 --> 01:13:27,040
Speaker 8: srounded by talent. Chris Kasik does such an incredible job

1563
01:13:27,320 --> 01:13:29,720
Speaker 8: with that defensive line, so he's put them all in

1564
01:13:29,840 --> 01:13:33,439
Speaker 8: positions to really succeed, and just his presence out there,

1565
01:13:33,560 --> 01:13:35,040
Speaker 8: it is a literal game changer.

1566
01:13:35,240 --> 01:13:35,720
Speaker 3: I love that.

1567
01:13:35,760 --> 01:13:37,439
Speaker 2: All right, I'm going to put you on the spot,

1568
01:13:37,479 --> 01:13:41,880
Speaker 2: Tracy game prediction. Who's taking this one score?

1569
01:13:43,000 --> 01:13:45,599
Speaker 8: And you know what, I've avoided this. I've done game

1570
01:13:45,640 --> 01:13:49,120
Speaker 8: previous and podcasts. I've avoided a prediction all week because

1571
01:13:49,479 --> 01:13:54,360
Speaker 8: I'm so bad at it. That being said, you know what,

1572
01:13:54,800 --> 01:13:58,679
Speaker 8: because of the people who follow me that are listening today.

1573
01:13:59,240 --> 01:14:01,760
Speaker 8: I actually I think the forty nine ers pulled this out.

1574
01:14:01,800 --> 01:14:04,040
Speaker 8: I think they're a little bit more well rested. I

1575
01:14:04,080 --> 01:14:06,720
Speaker 8: think they have I think they can win this game.

1576
01:14:06,840 --> 01:14:09,200
Speaker 8: They're very motivated. I think they pulled us out and

1577
01:14:09,240 --> 01:14:10,880
Speaker 8: I am going to give them. Give it to them

1578
01:14:11,000 --> 01:14:14,360
Speaker 8: at twenty four to twenty one. It's gonna be low, yeah,

1579
01:14:14,400 --> 01:14:16,840
Speaker 8: but they're so as they can win a grimy game.

1580
01:14:17,040 --> 01:14:19,439
Speaker 8: It could be some weather, but I really do. I

1581
01:14:19,479 --> 01:14:21,200
Speaker 8: think I think they win this one.

1582
01:14:21,320 --> 01:14:23,280
Speaker 2: We're all on the same page here, Tracy, thank you

01:16:14,200 --> 01:16:16,800
Speaker 2: Producer Brandon, let's bring you in and lead us through.

1630
01:16:17,479 --> 01:16:20,040
Speaker 6: All right, Alex, you got to win last week three

1631
01:16:20,080 --> 01:16:22,800
Speaker 6: and one. Monsey, you went two and two last week.

1632
01:16:22,880 --> 01:16:25,719
Speaker 6: So your total records twenty four and twelve for Alex

1633
01:16:26,160 --> 01:16:28,120
Speaker 6: and twenty nine and fifteen for Moncy.

1634
01:16:28,720 --> 01:16:32,320
Speaker 3: Okay, she's catching up, slowly, but surely.

1635
01:16:33,040 --> 01:16:35,439
Speaker 6: All right, let's get it started with the biggest matchup

1636
01:16:35,520 --> 01:16:37,639
Speaker 6: of the weekend. We've already brought it up multiple times.

1637
01:16:37,640 --> 01:16:40,360
Speaker 6: The forty nine Ers favored two and a half going

1638
01:16:40,400 --> 01:16:41,960
Speaker 6: to Philadelphia, so.

1639
01:16:42,080 --> 01:16:42,919
Speaker 3: At some Eagles.

1640
01:16:42,960 --> 01:16:46,639
Speaker 2: As I mentioned off the top of our show. Even

1641
01:16:46,680 --> 01:16:49,200
Speaker 2: though I think the Eagles are the best team in

1642
01:16:49,280 --> 01:16:53,200
Speaker 2: the league and they win ugly, they've had like four

1643
01:16:53,240 --> 01:16:55,000
Speaker 2: comeback wins in a row. I think the forty nine

1644
01:16:55,080 --> 01:16:58,599
Speaker 2: Ers and brock Purty have more to prove tomorrow. They

1645
01:16:58,600 --> 01:17:03,200
Speaker 2: are a more complete team, are well rested considering that

1646
01:17:03,280 --> 01:17:06,840
Speaker 2: the Eagles played the Chiefs and the Bills last week.

1647
01:17:07,880 --> 01:17:09,840
Speaker 2: So I'm taking the forty nine ers to take this

1648
01:17:09,880 --> 01:17:10,639
Speaker 2: one in Philly.

1649
01:17:11,720 --> 01:17:13,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I don't think that it's the forty

1650
01:17:14,040 --> 01:17:15,800
Speaker 4: nine ers have more to prove. As I said, I

1651
01:17:15,800 --> 01:17:17,760
Speaker 4: think the Eagles want to come out and win and

1652
01:17:17,800 --> 01:17:20,640
Speaker 4: say it wasn't a fluke beating them last year. But

1653
01:17:21,080 --> 01:17:24,519
Speaker 4: I'm taking the forty nine ers well rested. I think

1654
01:17:24,520 --> 01:17:27,160
Speaker 4: they're the better team, even though the record doesn't say

1655
01:17:27,200 --> 01:17:29,880
Speaker 4: that forty nine Ers, it's going to be close. If

1656
01:17:29,880 --> 01:17:32,040
Speaker 4: you know what that edge, the edge for the Eagles

1657
01:17:32,040 --> 01:17:34,080
Speaker 4: that gets me here that it's in Philly, that it's

1658
01:17:34,120 --> 01:17:37,120
Speaker 4: in Philly and they're not favored as the best sure,

1659
01:17:37,120 --> 01:17:40,960
Speaker 4: And that's the probably bulletin board material that they need.

1660
01:17:41,040 --> 01:17:43,080
Speaker 3: Doubt us like they love being the underdog.

1661
01:17:43,520 --> 01:17:46,800
Speaker 2: Philly in general loves being doubted, like, yeah, doubt us,

1662
01:17:47,040 --> 01:17:48,639
Speaker 2: let me prove you wrong. But it's kind of their

1663
01:17:48,640 --> 01:17:52,639
Speaker 2: identity that like who they are. It's a super game.

1664
01:17:53,960 --> 01:17:56,880
Speaker 2: And we just talked to Tracy Sandler, who's the forty

1665
01:17:56,920 --> 01:17:59,840
Speaker 2: nine ers beat beat writer, who said there might be

1666
01:17:59,840 --> 01:18:03,639
Speaker 2: some weather to in Philly, which I think would benefit Philly.

1667
01:18:04,200 --> 01:18:06,639
Speaker 2: I'm like going back and forth because I think he's

1668
01:18:06,680 --> 01:18:08,360
Speaker 2: a mass team. But I do think fort Niners are

1669
01:18:08,360 --> 01:18:10,720
Speaker 2: gonna take this one. It's gonna be close, down to

1670
01:18:10,760 --> 01:18:13,040
Speaker 2: the wire, right to the wire. I don't think you

1671
01:18:13,040 --> 01:18:15,720
Speaker 2: could go wrong with don't pick miss this game. Yeah, yeah,

1672
01:18:15,760 --> 01:18:18,760
Speaker 2: you can't go afternoon. It's the afternoon game. It's going

1673
01:18:18,840 --> 01:18:20,120
Speaker 2: to be incredible. Don't miss it.

1674
01:18:20,240 --> 01:18:23,280
Speaker 6: Yeah, all right. Moving forward, we have the red hot

1675
01:18:23,320 --> 01:18:26,519
Speaker 6: Denver Broncos on the road to take on the Houston Texans,

1676
01:18:26,520 --> 01:18:29,120
Speaker 6: who have also been kind of red hot. Texans favored

1677
01:18:29,160 --> 01:18:31,160
Speaker 6: by three and a half. Mon We'll start with Manci.

1678
01:18:31,560 --> 01:18:35,479
Speaker 4: Okay, this one is hard, Like I keep changing my mind.

1679
01:18:35,600 --> 01:18:37,080
Speaker 3: Okay, so any meanie mine I moo.

1680
01:18:37,520 --> 01:18:41,160
Speaker 4: I am going with the Denver Broncos to win six

1681
01:18:41,240 --> 01:18:45,920
Speaker 4: in a row and beat Houston. I'm going experience over

1682
01:18:46,080 --> 01:18:51,120
Speaker 4: inexperience in this one. And not that the Texans they're good. Yeah,

1683
01:18:51,160 --> 01:18:52,200
Speaker 4: they're just they're.

1684
01:18:52,040 --> 01:18:54,479
Speaker 3: Young, and I'm going they're in. I'm going with the

1685
01:18:54,479 --> 01:18:57,120
Speaker 3: Denver Broncos. They're gonna win six in a row. I

1686
01:18:57,160 --> 01:18:58,599
Speaker 3: don't like that we're agreeing on both of these.

1687
01:18:58,680 --> 01:19:01,920
Speaker 2: I am also going the Broncos, but I feel that's

1688
01:19:01,960 --> 01:19:04,759
Speaker 2: because they finally figured out their identity and they're clicking

1689
01:19:04,840 --> 01:19:08,240
Speaker 2: on all cylinders. And Texas Texans has some big names

1690
01:19:08,240 --> 01:19:10,920
Speaker 2: who are beat up. Their tight end. Schultz has been

1691
01:19:11,000 --> 01:19:14,439
Speaker 2: rude out their star Wookie d Wookie rookie ride receiver

1692
01:19:14,600 --> 01:19:17,240
Speaker 2: Tank Dell has been dealing with the calf injuries questionable,

1693
01:19:17,240 --> 01:19:18,840
Speaker 2: so even if he's in, it's not going to be

1694
01:19:19,000 --> 01:19:23,400
Speaker 2: obviously like top performance. They have an offensive lineman, Titus Howard,

1695
01:19:23,439 --> 01:19:28,160
Speaker 2: who's out. So I think the Broncos need to keep

1696
01:19:28,160 --> 01:19:30,240
Speaker 2: this rolling, and I think they will.

1697
01:19:30,360 --> 01:19:35,120
Speaker 6: Tomorrow, Chiefs on the road favored by six against the

1698
01:19:35,120 --> 01:19:36,680
Speaker 6: Green Bay Packers will start with.

1699
01:19:36,600 --> 01:19:39,439
Speaker 2: Alex Now, this is mahomes first game ever at Lambeau,

1700
01:19:39,880 --> 01:19:42,760
Speaker 2: which is like crazy, that's fun, So you know it's

1701
01:19:42,800 --> 01:19:44,760
Speaker 2: gonna be loud and wild, he said. I expect it

1702
01:19:44,760 --> 01:19:47,439
Speaker 2: to be like how it is for teams coming into Arrowhead.

1703
01:19:48,320 --> 01:19:51,440
Speaker 2: Packers are right in a high after a big Thanksgiving

1704
01:19:51,479 --> 01:19:55,040
Speaker 2: win last week. They're well rested. I think this might

1705
01:19:55,080 --> 01:19:59,000
Speaker 2: be a little closer than we think, but I'm gonna

1706
01:19:59,000 --> 01:20:01,800
Speaker 2: go with Mahomes and the Chiefs taking this one.

1707
01:20:02,040 --> 01:20:05,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, listen, the Packers had a great win against the Lions,

1708
01:20:05,280 --> 01:20:07,400
Speaker 4: and again I'm giving them all of that credit.

1709
01:20:07,439 --> 01:20:10,640
Speaker 3: Well, Jordan love, career game. Career game has arrived. But

1710
01:20:10,880 --> 01:20:13,360
Speaker 3: I don't think they have figured it out. You know

1711
01:20:13,439 --> 01:20:15,280
Speaker 3: what I'm saying. Like you, we just said the Broncos

1712
01:20:15,280 --> 01:20:16,840
Speaker 3: we think they figured out. I would the Packers have

1713
01:20:16,880 --> 01:20:19,559
Speaker 3: figured it out. I'm taking the Chiefs on this. They're

1714
01:20:19,560 --> 01:20:21,800
Speaker 3: trending in the right door. Correct, correct, But I'm taking

1715
01:20:21,840 --> 01:20:24,280
Speaker 3: the chie hunt. Okay, I know one more.

1716
01:20:24,400 --> 01:20:27,400
Speaker 6: Let's see if we Brown's on the road to take

1717
01:20:27,439 --> 01:20:30,080
Speaker 6: on the Rams. Rams are favored by four in this one.

1718
01:20:31,520 --> 01:20:33,320
Speaker 3: I'm feeling good about the Rams here.

1719
01:20:33,439 --> 01:20:37,360
Speaker 2: They're coming off of back to back a big division wins.

1720
01:20:38,200 --> 01:20:40,599
Speaker 3: I think they keep it rolling and take the record

1721
01:20:40,640 --> 01:20:42,599
Speaker 3: of six and six. Ye I guess we're gonna agree

1722
01:20:42,600 --> 01:20:45,519
Speaker 3: on all of this. Yeah, Joco is not the answer.

1723
01:20:45,640 --> 01:20:48,080
Speaker 3: He's not the answer. It's gonna be the Rams. I know,

1724
01:20:49,760 --> 01:20:52,240
Speaker 3: ever gone like same same, I think. So I think

1725
