Guys, the day has 6 00:00:35,788 --> 00:00:38,108 Speaker 1: come that we decided way back in August to lead 7 00:00:38,148 --> 00:00:45,828 Speaker 1: our show with the Detroit Lions. Yes, Christ Miracle. A 8 00:00:45,908 --> 00:00:48,508 Speaker 1: lot of it surrounds the NFC North. So let's just 9 00:00:48,788 --> 00:00:50,708 Speaker 1: kick it off with a couple of those teams involved 10 00:00:50,748 --> 00:00:53,028 Speaker 1: in that division, and if network is a huge Saturday 11 00:00:53,068 --> 00:00:56,148 Speaker 1: show to coupleheader this weekend. It starts with Colts Vikings 12 00:00:56,188 --> 00:00:59,148 Speaker 1: at one pm Eastern. The Vikings win and they'll clinch 13 00:00:59,428 --> 00:01:02,068 Speaker 1: the NFC North and a home playoff game. Here's what 14 00:01:02,188 --> 00:01:05,148 Speaker 1: Running back Down and Cook had to say about that possibility. 15 00:01:05,668 --> 00:01:09,268 Speaker 1: He is the lead block and out to be big. 16 00:01:09,388 --> 00:01:12,428 Speaker 1: You know, we control everything we want to control. We 17 00:01:12,548 --> 00:01:14,988 Speaker 1: just gotta go out there and do it. And we 18 00:01:15,108 --> 00:01:17,628 Speaker 1: know that it's no secret of know what's out there 19 00:01:17,668 --> 00:01:19,948 Speaker 1: for us. Now, we just can't keep talking about it. 20 00:01:19,948 --> 00:01:21,908 Speaker 1: We gotta go get it done. So that's how mindset. 21 00:01:21,988 --> 00:01:23,948 Speaker 1: You know, everything's on the table for us. We know it. 22 00:01:24,108 --> 00:01:25,628 Speaker 1: Let's go ground and do what we do and go 23 00:01:25,628 --> 00:01:30,268 Speaker 1: get it all right. So the Vikings are in the 24 00:01:30,308 --> 00:01:32,588 Speaker 1: two seed. They are looking up at the Philadelphia Eagles, 25 00:01:32,588 --> 00:01:35,268 Speaker 1: who've already clinched a playoff spot, and of course home 26 00:01:35,308 --> 00:01:37,748 Speaker 1: all the way through they could do. So they being 27 00:01:37,788 --> 00:01:40,828 Speaker 1: the Vikings on Saturday with the win, lurking in the 28 00:01:40,908 --> 00:01:44,068 Speaker 1: nine seed, you know, it feels more like look out 29 00:01:44,148 --> 00:01:46,628 Speaker 1: here they come, not just lurking. For the Detroit Lions, 30 00:01:46,708 --> 00:01:49,348 Speaker 1: they just beat Minnesota last weekend. They were favored at 31 00:01:49,388 --> 00:01:52,948 Speaker 1: home thanks in part to this third and seven nine 32 00:01:53,028 --> 00:01:56,948 Speaker 1: yard catch by Lions offensive tackle Pine Steel. Dan Campbell. 33 00:01:57,108 --> 00:02:00,148 Speaker 1: What a play call? The head coach offered this stunning 34 00:02:00,188 --> 00:02:04,668 Speaker 1: admission about said play call on the Path McAfee show. 35 00:02:04,988 --> 00:02:08,028 Speaker 1: So we're in that that situation and the fans are 36 00:02:08,068 --> 00:02:10,468 Speaker 1: doing the wave around the stadium, and so I'm just 37 00:02:10,548 --> 00:02:13,548 Speaker 1: watching and I hear Ben Johnson's like, hey, coach, you 38 00:02:13,548 --> 00:02:17,508 Speaker 1: want to and I'm just I'm so focused on the wave, 39 00:02:17,748 --> 00:02:20,348 Speaker 1: and I said, yeah, that's fine, and I look up 40 00:02:20,388 --> 00:02:28,668 Speaker 1: and we're throwing it. But it worked out. Great. I 41 00:02:28,708 --> 00:02:32,268 Speaker 1: bet that's exactly how that happened. That's amazing canas Will 42 00:02:32,348 --> 00:02:35,428 Speaker 1: just making a case for the big guys making huge 43 00:02:35,508 --> 00:02:38,588 Speaker 1: game deciding play calls, catches, being a part of the offense. 44 00:02:38,588 --> 00:02:41,508 Speaker 1: The Lions now sit at six and seven, they're the 45 00:02:41,628 --> 00:02:44,468 Speaker 1: nine seed, but there's a feeling about them and their 46 00:02:44,508 --> 00:02:47,148 Speaker 1: presence perhaps within the playoffs. Can they make a serious 47 00:02:47,148 --> 00:02:49,588 Speaker 1: playoff runs? Peter, Yeah, Look, we like to go through 48 00:02:49,628 --> 00:02:51,508 Speaker 1: the schedule and see who they got. I just like 49 00:02:51,668 --> 00:02:54,588 Speaker 1: watching the Lions, like I just there is no more 50 00:02:54,668 --> 00:02:57,188 Speaker 1: entertaining team in football right now than the Detroit Lions. 51 00:02:57,308 --> 00:03:00,028 Speaker 1: Put that on the big font on Instagram from NFL 52 00:03:00,748 --> 00:03:04,708 Speaker 1: December fourteenth. The most entertaining team in the NFL right 53 00:03:04,748 --> 00:03:08,908 Speaker 1: now are the Detroit Lions. Peter Schrager, No Instagram, So 54 00:03:08,948 --> 00:03:13,428 Speaker 1: someone else got Instagram list, no tag. And the reason 55 00:03:13,548 --> 00:03:16,468 Speaker 1: why it's because of the great players and the great 56 00:03:16,468 --> 00:03:19,228 Speaker 1: head coach. But the sneaking ninja and all this thing 57 00:03:19,428 --> 00:03:23,748 Speaker 1: is offensive coordinator Ben Johnson. He's thirty six years old, 58 00:03:24,228 --> 00:03:27,588 Speaker 1: he's the O C. And Dan Campbell Well had to 59 00:03:27,588 --> 00:03:29,588 Speaker 1: make a decision, what do I get? He elevated him 60 00:03:29,588 --> 00:03:33,548 Speaker 1: to offensive coordinator this season NFL coaching experience was with 61 00:03:33,668 --> 00:03:37,068 Speaker 1: Dan Campbell when Dan Campbell was in Miami, all right, 62 00:03:37,068 --> 00:03:39,468 Speaker 1: and I'm that Miami staff when Dan Campbell was the 63 00:03:39,508 --> 00:03:42,508 Speaker 1: interim coach and it was Joe Fielden was also a 64 00:03:42,508 --> 00:03:47,388 Speaker 1: guy named Zach Taylor. Zach Taylor has tried coaching Ben 65 00:03:47,468 --> 00:03:51,228 Speaker 1: Johnson to the Bengals staff year after year after year, 66 00:03:51,308 --> 00:03:55,068 Speaker 1: and Dan Campbell continues to elevate Ben Johnson's Almos look 67 00:03:55,108 --> 00:03:57,788 Speaker 1: at arms race for Ben Johnson. Here's a quote from 68 00:03:57,868 --> 00:04:00,188 Speaker 1: Zach Taylor at I don't smaller fonts and let me 69 00:04:00,188 --> 00:04:02,628 Speaker 1: read it for you. That's probably why he promoted him, 70 00:04:02,628 --> 00:04:04,308 Speaker 1: because he knows he's got one of the best young 71 00:04:04,468 --> 00:04:06,748 Speaker 1: coaches in the league right there on his staff. Why 72 00:04:06,788 --> 00:04:08,588 Speaker 1: not promote him and help him call this offense? So 73 00:04:08,708 --> 00:04:10,708 Speaker 1: really happy for Ben. I think it's a great move 74 00:04:10,748 --> 00:04:12,788 Speaker 1: by Dan. He's going to continue to grow at the 75 00:04:12,788 --> 00:04:15,868 Speaker 1: experiences that comes along. Like we all have page two 76 00:04:15,948 --> 00:04:19,188 Speaker 1: of the Zach Taylor quote, I'm Ben Johnson, but again, 77 00:04:19,268 --> 00:04:22,428 Speaker 1: I can't see enough positive things about Ben Johnson in 78 00:04:22,468 --> 00:04:24,588 Speaker 1: the role he's gonna have their in Detroit. That's from 79 00:04:24,668 --> 00:04:27,188 Speaker 1: twenty twenty two. That's from the Super Bowl. The local 80 00:04:27,228 --> 00:04:29,948 Speaker 1: media in Detroit. We're asking Zach Taylor, the Bengals coach 81 00:04:29,988 --> 00:04:31,628 Speaker 1: who was in the Super Bowl, tell us about this 82 00:04:31,668 --> 00:04:34,108 Speaker 1: Ben Johnson, and Zach Taylor like stopped everything about Jamar 83 00:04:34,148 --> 00:04:36,268 Speaker 1: Chas and Joe Burrow and did a you know, three 84 00:04:36,268 --> 00:04:40,508 Speaker 1: minutes soliloquy. I'm Ben Johnson. It's great to go to 85 00:04:40,508 --> 00:04:42,668 Speaker 1: talk about anything. This is how we're starting the show. 86 00:04:42,708 --> 00:04:44,148 Speaker 1: Ben Johnson talk because I think he's gonna be a 87 00:04:44,148 --> 00:04:46,268 Speaker 1: head coaching x here here, this offense is too good, 88 00:04:46,268 --> 00:04:48,428 Speaker 1: too dynamic. Is gonna interview with all of them, and 89 00:04:48,468 --> 00:04:51,348 Speaker 1: I think he's playing little Lucy Goosey and this is 90 00:04:51,388 --> 00:04:53,468 Speaker 1: so fun to see if you're an alliance. Can they 91 00:04:53,508 --> 00:04:55,708 Speaker 1: make the playoffs? Yeah, they can make the playoffs. There 92 00:04:55,708 --> 00:04:57,228 Speaker 1: are a few games out. They've got to win a 93 00:04:57,268 --> 00:05:00,148 Speaker 1: few games. Will they I don't know. We're gonna have 94 00:05:00,188 --> 00:05:02,388 Speaker 1: to see how it goes. But I do think that 95 00:05:02,428 --> 00:05:05,508 Speaker 1: when Minnesota is going this way, Troit's going this way, 96 00:05:05,628 --> 00:05:08,988 Speaker 1: Green Bay in Chicago are kind of right here. I 97 00:05:09,028 --> 00:05:11,148 Speaker 1: think the Troits gonna be the hottest team coming down 98 00:05:11,148 --> 00:05:13,028 Speaker 1: the stretch. You're not gonna want to face them either 99 00:05:13,068 --> 00:05:15,308 Speaker 1: in December or in January, and they might end up 100 00:05:15,308 --> 00:05:17,028 Speaker 1: in the wildcard round. Yeah, to take it back what 101 00:05:17,188 --> 00:05:19,268 Speaker 1: you said. They're so fun to watch, and I think 102 00:05:19,308 --> 00:05:21,748 Speaker 1: that's what we get as fans. They're entertaining what you're 103 00:05:21,748 --> 00:05:23,908 Speaker 1: putting when you put the television on and you see 104 00:05:23,908 --> 00:05:26,188 Speaker 1: these guys bouncing around having a good time. And it 105 00:05:26,268 --> 00:05:28,508 Speaker 1: starts with their head coach Dan Campbell, but it now 106 00:05:28,548 --> 00:05:31,748 Speaker 1: has overflowed into the players. They're out there, they're celebrating. 107 00:05:31,788 --> 00:05:35,308 Speaker 1: Aidan Hutchinson is dancing, he showed that Michael Jackson clips 108 00:05:35,348 --> 00:05:38,428 Speaker 1: early on in the preseason and hard knocks and do 109 00:05:38,548 --> 00:05:41,468 Speaker 1: they have a chance. Of course, they're not mathematically eliminated, 110 00:05:41,548 --> 00:05:43,548 Speaker 1: so there's no way we can sit here and say no, 111 00:05:43,588 --> 00:05:45,868 Speaker 1: all the Detroit lines aren't gonna make it. They dug 112 00:05:45,948 --> 00:05:48,548 Speaker 1: themselves in a hole starting one in six, one and six. 113 00:05:48,748 --> 00:05:51,228 Speaker 1: But at the same time, the playoffs have changed in 114 00:05:51,268 --> 00:05:54,188 Speaker 1: the NFL. There's now an extra team that is available 115 00:05:54,428 --> 00:05:56,508 Speaker 1: in order to do so, they're probably gonna have to 116 00:05:56,508 --> 00:05:58,988 Speaker 1: win out their last four games, starting with the New 117 00:05:59,068 --> 00:06:02,628 Speaker 1: York Jets this weekend. But we've seen comeback stories. J 118 00:06:02,788 --> 00:06:06,188 Speaker 1: Lowe been afflecked together after a long time. You guys 119 00:06:06,268 --> 00:06:08,828 Speaker 1: remember a guy Dave Chappelle. We watched him walk away 120 00:06:08,868 --> 00:06:11,548 Speaker 1: from so much money with his comedy show. This Guy's 121 00:06:11,588 --> 00:06:14,388 Speaker 1: back on top. The Detroit Lions one in six. You 122 00:06:14,468 --> 00:06:17,068 Speaker 1: finish out this season when nine out of your last 123 00:06:17,108 --> 00:06:19,508 Speaker 1: ten games. If they win these last four, it's a 124 00:06:19,588 --> 00:06:21,828 Speaker 1: tough feat. But if they do that, I think they 125 00:06:21,868 --> 00:06:24,668 Speaker 1: have a great chance at being in the playoffs. And 126 00:06:24,708 --> 00:06:26,748 Speaker 1: I know somebody at this table is gonna probably ruin 127 00:06:26,788 --> 00:06:28,708 Speaker 1: and say no, no, no, But I have some faith 128 00:06:28,788 --> 00:06:30,028 Speaker 1: in the I don't know. I think we're off flying 129 00:06:30,108 --> 00:06:33,188 Speaker 1: high in the Lions. Yeah, it's fun, it's intoxicating. It 130 00:06:33,188 --> 00:06:36,068 Speaker 1: feels good to talk about is it gonna happen? Like 131 00:06:36,228 --> 00:06:37,988 Speaker 1: we can sit here and just say yeah, yeah, yeah, 132 00:06:38,068 --> 00:06:40,228 Speaker 1: Like is this gonna happen? There's a chance. What's it 133 00:06:40,268 --> 00:06:43,028 Speaker 1: gonna take? All right, So let's respect the league in 134 00:06:43,068 --> 00:06:45,628 Speaker 1: the history and what we got going here since nineteen 135 00:06:45,788 --> 00:06:48,588 Speaker 1: ninety when the playoff field expanded. I'm gonna go on 136 00:06:48,668 --> 00:06:49,988 Speaker 1: the table and you guys say, guess I have the 137 00:06:50,028 --> 00:06:52,868 Speaker 1: number right here? The Linons started one in six this year, 138 00:06:53,068 --> 00:06:56,428 Speaker 1: how many one in six teams started one and six 139 00:06:56,708 --> 00:06:58,988 Speaker 1: went on to make the playoffs. Since Nights and Night, 140 00:06:59,068 --> 00:07:00,428 Speaker 1: Jason mccordy. You played the game. What do you think? 141 00:07:00,468 --> 00:07:03,388 Speaker 1: How many? I have the uber I'm gonna go get 142 00:07:03,428 --> 00:07:06,308 Speaker 1: him maybe too. We almost did it. Start own six 143 00:07:06,348 --> 00:07:08,908 Speaker 1: didn't do it, Year two didn't do it. How many 144 00:07:08,948 --> 00:07:12,108 Speaker 1: teams since nineteen ninety two is what Chargers started owing 145 00:07:12,188 --> 00:07:14,468 Speaker 1: four one year with Sao and then went to those toughs. 146 00:07:14,828 --> 00:07:17,708 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say zero, But I'm also going to stay 147 00:07:17,708 --> 00:07:19,908 Speaker 1: with an asterick on this that now we've got another 148 00:07:19,908 --> 00:07:22,468 Speaker 1: team in the playoffs since then, so we've added another team, 149 00:07:22,508 --> 00:07:25,068 Speaker 1: So that might be a little Peter zero, Jamie, what 150 00:07:25,108 --> 00:07:27,628 Speaker 1: do you got? Peter goes with a actual like memory bank. 151 00:07:27,748 --> 00:07:30,228 Speaker 1: I just like to guess these numbers, Willie Lilly. I'm 152 00:07:30,228 --> 00:07:32,508 Speaker 1: just gonna go a single team has done it. Since 153 00:07:32,588 --> 00:07:35,068 Speaker 1: nineteen ninety teams have zero sixty and one of teams 154 00:07:35,068 --> 00:07:37,548 Speaker 1: that have made the playoffs zero, It's zero. One in 155 00:07:37,628 --> 00:07:39,908 Speaker 1: five has been done a bunch of times. Alex Smith 156 00:07:39,948 --> 00:07:42,228 Speaker 1: did it with the Chiefs and the Washington football team. 157 00:07:42,428 --> 00:07:44,548 Speaker 1: Andrew lux last season with the Colts started one in five. 158 00:07:44,628 --> 00:07:46,748 Speaker 1: One of six does not happened. It doesn't happen. It 159 00:07:46,868 --> 00:07:48,668 Speaker 1: is too difficult to overcome. In fact, you want to 160 00:07:48,668 --> 00:07:51,028 Speaker 1: get feel the thing further back. How many teams ever 161 00:07:51,388 --> 00:07:54,148 Speaker 1: they have done it since the merger. They have one 162 00:07:54,308 --> 00:07:57,028 Speaker 1: team ever has started one and six since the merger. 163 00:07:57,308 --> 00:08:00,148 Speaker 1: And there is Sam White and the Cincinnati Bengals in 164 00:08:00,268 --> 00:08:03,948 Speaker 1: nineteen seventy Sam which played quarterback. He did angles as 165 00:08:03,948 --> 00:08:06,228 Speaker 1: he did. Understand this, guys. This was the first year 166 00:08:06,268 --> 00:08:08,988 Speaker 1: that the AFL and NFL came together. Yes exactly. Paul 167 00:08:08,988 --> 00:08:11,868 Speaker 1: Brown's there, and they were expected to get crushed by 168 00:08:11,908 --> 00:08:14,748 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh and Cleveland and they started one and six and 169 00:08:14,788 --> 00:08:16,508 Speaker 1: then they made the playoffs and they got destroyed in 170 00:08:16,548 --> 00:08:18,748 Speaker 1: the playoffs. But that's not the points. This is what 171 00:08:18,868 --> 00:08:22,028 Speaker 1: Dan Campbell is trying to do. This this long it's 172 00:08:22,068 --> 00:08:24,628 Speaker 1: and it's right there. And now we love what we're doing. 173 00:08:24,708 --> 00:08:27,868 Speaker 1: We love all the that that team that's like AFC 174 00:08:28,068 --> 00:08:30,428 Speaker 1: Central Division running the West Coast. So I don't we 175 00:08:30,508 --> 00:08:32,308 Speaker 1: love the old stuff. My point is like, it's a 176 00:08:32,348 --> 00:08:34,948 Speaker 1: tall order, all right, and we haven't done the remaining 177 00:08:35,028 --> 00:08:37,508 Speaker 1: schedule yet, but it's a tall order. They got they 178 00:08:37,508 --> 00:08:38,908 Speaker 1: have to. I think they have to win out because 179 00:08:38,908 --> 00:08:41,068 Speaker 1: they have to get to ninety eight and to realistically 180 00:08:41,068 --> 00:08:43,468 Speaker 1: do this thing. Things happen. There's been some brilliant one 181 00:08:43,468 --> 00:08:45,508 Speaker 1: and stake. Look at that slate though, all right, you 182 00:08:45,508 --> 00:08:47,068 Speaker 1: want to handicap that's late, Jamie. You want to do it? 183 00:08:47,068 --> 00:08:49,988 Speaker 1: Are you all right? So the Jets, I think this 184 00:08:50,068 --> 00:08:51,628 Speaker 1: is a massive one. I think the next two games 185 00:08:51,628 --> 00:08:54,148 Speaker 1: are gonna decide it. I'll tell you why Packers last 186 00:08:54,428 --> 00:08:56,788 Speaker 1: last week of the season very well, maybe playing Jordan Love, 187 00:08:56,828 --> 00:08:58,948 Speaker 1: who the hell knows bears different deal going on. I 188 00:08:58,988 --> 00:09:00,508 Speaker 1: think the next two weeks will decide it. You beat 189 00:09:00,588 --> 00:09:02,228 Speaker 1: Jets and Caroline, I think you can go to the playoffs. 190 00:09:02,228 --> 00:09:04,588 Speaker 1: It's a two games stretch though, of two other are 191 00:09:04,628 --> 00:09:06,988 Speaker 1: teams that are thirsty as hell. Tomorrow probably have to 192 00:09:07,028 --> 00:09:09,228 Speaker 1: show with the Carolina Panthers, that's my thing. The Feahawks 193 00:09:09,268 --> 00:09:11,388 Speaker 1: above them their next two games out of forty nine 194 00:09:11,468 --> 00:09:14,348 Speaker 1: Ers and the Chief So there's some like they're kind 195 00:09:14,588 --> 00:09:16,748 Speaker 1: they're lurking right there because a lot of things to 196 00:09:16,868 --> 00:09:20,268 Speaker 1: like about it. Yeah, history says it is almost very true. Almost. 197 00:09:20,388 --> 00:09:22,508 Speaker 1: Here's the thing about this Lions team though this year, 198 00:09:22,668 --> 00:09:25,548 Speaker 1: is that those other one in five, one in six teams. 199 00:09:25,588 --> 00:09:27,908 Speaker 1: I have a gut feeling that the way they started 200 00:09:27,948 --> 00:09:30,068 Speaker 1: the season, let's say they weren't scoring points, maybe they 201 00:09:30,068 --> 00:09:32,228 Speaker 1: got shut out. A couple of times this Lions team 202 00:09:32,228 --> 00:09:34,388 Speaker 1: has been scoring, they just got beat, Like the one 203 00:09:34,428 --> 00:09:36,628 Speaker 1: that always stands out on my forty eight forty five. 204 00:09:37,228 --> 00:09:39,268 Speaker 1: If you can score forty five points and you lost, 205 00:09:39,468 --> 00:09:41,468 Speaker 1: I still think there's something to write home about. And 206 00:09:41,508 --> 00:09:43,388 Speaker 1: that happened to the Lions earlier this season. Now they're 207 00:09:43,388 --> 00:09:45,508 Speaker 1: scoring points in their defense has picked up, and a 208 00:09:45,508 --> 00:09:47,228 Speaker 1: lot of that has to do with Dan Campbell. I 209 00:09:47,268 --> 00:09:49,348 Speaker 1: was thinking about what Kyle said the other day about 210 00:09:49,348 --> 00:09:51,108 Speaker 1: the Eagles, and you're really trying to find something that 211 00:09:51,108 --> 00:09:54,068 Speaker 1: could be like a tiniest of Achilles heal with Eagles. 212 00:09:54,188 --> 00:09:57,188 Speaker 1: Maybe it's the quote unquote little act of experienced Nick 213 00:09:57,268 --> 00:10:00,388 Speaker 1: Sirianni has as a head coach. Then I considered Dan Campbell. 214 00:10:00,588 --> 00:10:03,348 Speaker 1: You know, he's got this stick and people kind of 215 00:10:03,388 --> 00:10:05,228 Speaker 1: just clicked into it with hard knocks and they're like, 216 00:10:05,308 --> 00:10:07,788 Speaker 1: is it sustainable. While we've heard from several of his players, 217 00:10:07,828 --> 00:10:10,148 Speaker 1: including Jared Goff, this is just who he is. This 218 00:10:10,228 --> 00:10:12,508 Speaker 1: is his game plan, this is his mL this is 219 00:10:12,508 --> 00:10:14,988 Speaker 1: how he lives his life. We're talking about his Metalico 220 00:10:15,068 --> 00:10:17,628 Speaker 1: quotes and his three game speeches and saying a man 221 00:10:17,748 --> 00:10:20,628 Speaker 1: every other word that's fine. They've accepted it, they're embracing it. 222 00:10:21,508 --> 00:10:24,068 Speaker 1: He's been down the stretch when he was a player, 223 00:10:24,108 --> 00:10:26,628 Speaker 1: when he was with the Giants, the Cowboys, ten win teams, 224 00:10:26,668 --> 00:10:28,508 Speaker 1: twelve wins teams. He's been to the Super Bowl with 225 00:10:28,508 --> 00:10:30,748 Speaker 1: the Giants when he was a coach under Sean Payton. 226 00:10:30,948 --> 00:10:33,628 Speaker 1: He has been to NFC Divisional games. He's almost made 227 00:10:33,668 --> 00:10:35,268 Speaker 1: it to a super Bowl as a head coach four 228 00:10:35,388 --> 00:10:37,308 Speaker 1: years in a row. They won that division when he 229 00:10:37,348 --> 00:10:39,628 Speaker 1: was an assistant head coach under Sean Payton. So it's 230 00:10:39,668 --> 00:10:42,108 Speaker 1: not like down the stretch he's going to say, whoa, whoa. 231 00:10:42,188 --> 00:10:44,868 Speaker 1: I've never I've never done this before. All my speeches 232 00:10:44,908 --> 00:10:47,268 Speaker 1: are back in September. No, this is like when he 233 00:10:47,388 --> 00:10:49,028 Speaker 1: I think, when he is really going to rise to 234 00:10:49,068 --> 00:10:51,188 Speaker 1: the occasion. Because he is coaching in games that matter, 235 00:10:51,388 --> 00:10:53,468 Speaker 1: which he has played in and done before. I think 236 00:10:53,468 --> 00:10:55,628 Speaker 1: he is truly the difference maker. He has lived the 237 00:10:55,628 --> 00:10:58,468 Speaker 1: football life he has we all wanted. The December League 238 00:10:58,508 --> 00:11:01,228 Speaker 1: meeting is taking place in Irving, Texas. As we sent 239 00:11:01,308 --> 00:11:03,468 Speaker 1: it out to our own Judy Batista, Ian Repport and 240 00:11:03,628 --> 00:11:07,348 Speaker 1: Tom Pelliser. Those three are there covering everything for us. Judy, 241 00:11:07,428 --> 00:11:08,748 Speaker 1: please kick it off. What do we need to know 242 00:11:08,828 --> 00:11:12,188 Speaker 1: this morning from Texas? Well, yesterday they spent most of 243 00:11:12,228 --> 00:11:14,908 Speaker 1: the time in what is called an accelerator program for 244 00:11:14,988 --> 00:11:17,948 Speaker 1: GM candidates, that is for people of color and women 245 00:11:18,028 --> 00:11:21,348 Speaker 1: who are on the GM track. It actually ended with 246 00:11:21,548 --> 00:11:24,188 Speaker 1: a get together with owners. The whole point is to 247 00:11:24,228 --> 00:11:27,028 Speaker 1: get these candidates in front of owners. But before that 248 00:11:27,148 --> 00:11:29,308 Speaker 1: get together, we talked to Tom and I talked to 249 00:11:29,508 --> 00:11:32,508 Speaker 1: Troy Vincent, who is the league's top executive who is 250 00:11:32,628 --> 00:11:35,708 Speaker 1: overseeing all of these hiring initiatives, and he talked about 251 00:11:35,788 --> 00:11:39,228 Speaker 1: the potential coaching candidates for this year. You have to 252 00:11:39,268 --> 00:11:42,388 Speaker 1: start with Leslie Frasier. I mean, just as success that 253 00:11:42,548 --> 00:11:46,268 Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills have had Eric b Enemy. We can't 254 00:11:46,308 --> 00:11:50,708 Speaker 1: have this conversation about the success of an organization, the 255 00:11:50,828 --> 00:11:53,788 Speaker 1: success of an individual who arguably is the best player 256 00:11:53,788 --> 00:11:56,308 Speaker 1: in our game, and not talk about Eric b Enemy. 257 00:11:56,588 --> 00:11:59,228 Speaker 1: No one has produced more head coaches in the last 258 00:11:59,268 --> 00:12:03,708 Speaker 1: decade in Andy Reid. We talk about Damiko Ryan, the 259 00:12:03,828 --> 00:12:07,588 Speaker 1: success that they're having in San Francisco to college ranks. 260 00:12:07,628 --> 00:12:10,948 Speaker 1: I just have to and it's important that I mentioned 261 00:12:10,948 --> 00:12:14,348 Speaker 1: a college coach. When you talk about James Franklin, you 262 00:12:14,388 --> 00:12:18,188 Speaker 1: know David Sharbon almost specifically talk about James Franklin and 263 00:12:18,588 --> 00:12:23,268 Speaker 1: Mike Locksley. These men have done extraordinary jobs at these institutions. 264 00:12:24,468 --> 00:12:28,028 Speaker 1: So that was Troy Vincent ticking off the top minority 265 00:12:28,028 --> 00:12:32,188 Speaker 1: candidates for however many head coaching openings there will be 266 00:12:32,268 --> 00:12:35,148 Speaker 1: this year. Guys. Again, they spent the day yesterday talking 267 00:12:35,188 --> 00:12:38,708 Speaker 1: with GM candidates. Little Dizzy, all right, coaches are a 268 00:12:38,748 --> 00:12:41,708 Speaker 1: little occupied right now. But the GM candidates went through 269 00:12:41,748 --> 00:12:44,308 Speaker 1: sessions sort of getting them ready for interviews and again 270 00:12:44,348 --> 00:12:46,468 Speaker 1: getting them in front of owners. And I wonder what 271 00:12:46,588 --> 00:12:49,028 Speaker 1: you thought about the list that Troy ticked off, and 272 00:12:49,508 --> 00:12:51,628 Speaker 1: also we asked him how many openings he thinks there 273 00:12:51,668 --> 00:12:53,588 Speaker 1: was going to be, and that was interesting too, the 274 00:12:53,708 --> 00:12:56,228 Speaker 1: low number of open many. Eventually he also circled back. 275 00:12:56,228 --> 00:12:58,628 Speaker 1: I mentioned Steve Wilkes is a phenomenal job so far 276 00:12:58,948 --> 00:13:02,228 Speaker 1: in Carolina. That team at four and four under Wilkes 277 00:13:02,268 --> 00:13:04,708 Speaker 1: when they traded away arguably one of the best players 278 00:13:04,708 --> 00:13:06,908 Speaker 1: in the NFL, and Christian McCaffrey trade away one of 279 00:13:06,948 --> 00:13:09,748 Speaker 1: their wide receivers are on their third different quarterback continue 280 00:13:09,748 --> 00:13:12,428 Speaker 1: to have success. We've seen certainly progress in terms of 281 00:13:12,468 --> 00:13:15,268 Speaker 1: the diversity of the general manager hires over the past 282 00:13:15,308 --> 00:13:17,468 Speaker 1: couple of years, but I and the head coaching hires 283 00:13:17,628 --> 00:13:20,988 Speaker 1: remains very sensitive issue for the ownership here and every 284 00:13:21,068 --> 00:13:22,348 Speaker 1: all eyes are going to be on this as we 285 00:13:22,348 --> 00:13:25,028 Speaker 1: get into this cycle. Yeah, sensive issue, an important issue. 286 00:13:25,148 --> 00:13:27,508 Speaker 1: As far as the list of Troy Vincent presents it, 287 00:13:27,748 --> 00:13:30,548 Speaker 1: I would say, you know, from the people I've spoken 288 00:13:30,548 --> 00:13:33,908 Speaker 1: with and some who either have hirings or have openings 289 00:13:34,028 --> 00:13:37,988 Speaker 1: or could potentially have openings. Leslie Fraser certainly expected behind those. 290 00:13:38,028 --> 00:13:40,988 Speaker 1: Deeric b Enemy, of course, seems every year has had 291 00:13:41,068 --> 00:13:43,748 Speaker 1: an interview has not quite gotten that breakthrough. The one 292 00:13:43,748 --> 00:13:45,908 Speaker 1: thing I would note, guys is the you had the 293 00:13:45,948 --> 00:13:48,868 Speaker 1: Matt rule situation in Carolina does not seem like the 294 00:13:48,948 --> 00:13:51,908 Speaker 1: league as a full appetite for a college coach. Again, 295 00:13:52,548 --> 00:13:54,308 Speaker 1: I'm not sure that would be kind of the road 296 00:13:54,348 --> 00:13:57,548 Speaker 1: to go down, but I would echo what Troy Vincent 297 00:13:57,868 --> 00:13:59,828 Speaker 1: kind of told you, guys, is that I don't expect 298 00:13:59,868 --> 00:14:02,868 Speaker 1: a huge amount of openings and it does seem like 299 00:14:02,908 --> 00:14:06,428 Speaker 1: there's some top end Canada minority candidates to fill some moose. 300 00:14:06,508 --> 00:14:09,148 Speaker 1: Obviously we'll see in the importance of it is as 301 00:14:09,188 --> 00:14:11,188 Speaker 1: high as it really has ever been for the league. 302 00:14:11,188 --> 00:14:14,388 Speaker 1: And certainly Damiko. Ryan's his name that's on everybody's mind 303 00:14:14,428 --> 00:14:15,908 Speaker 1: as we go into this cycle. Had a very good 304 00:14:15,908 --> 00:14:17,388 Speaker 1: interview last year with the five games. They wanted to 305 00:14:17,428 --> 00:14:20,108 Speaker 1: bring him back for a second interview. He decided something 306 00:14:20,148 --> 00:14:22,548 Speaker 1: that coaches never say, which is, I'm not ready. I 307 00:14:22,628 --> 00:14:24,748 Speaker 1: need a little bit more time to develop. Here goes 308 00:14:24,748 --> 00:14:26,788 Speaker 1: back to San Francisco. Obviously a ton of success. I 309 00:14:26,788 --> 00:14:28,348 Speaker 1: absolutely expect he's going to be one of the end 310 00:14:28,348 --> 00:14:31,028 Speaker 1: demand candidates. I suspect we're going to be hearing even 311 00:14:31,108 --> 00:14:34,588 Speaker 1: more today about candidates, the GM and head coaching candidates. 312 00:14:34,588 --> 00:14:37,668 Speaker 1: As Ian said, this is a highly sensitive issue for 313 00:14:37,748 --> 00:14:40,388 Speaker 1: the NFL. Troy has been very candid in the past 314 00:14:40,428 --> 00:14:43,588 Speaker 1: about his disappointment with the head coaching hires. There's a 315 00:14:43,628 --> 00:14:46,748 Speaker 1: real emphasis on it again this year. Guys. Well, those 316 00:14:46,788 --> 00:14:50,148 Speaker 1: three units in particular of those names mentioned, the Bill's defense, 317 00:14:50,148 --> 00:14:52,228 Speaker 1: the forty nine Ers defense, the Chiefs offense. You can't 318 00:14:52,228 --> 00:14:55,068 Speaker 1: go wrong with the way that those units are performing 319 00:14:55,108 --> 00:14:57,628 Speaker 1: so far this season and in year's pass. Guys, thanks 320 00:14:57,668 --> 00:14:58,868 Speaker 1: so much. We'll talk to you in a little bit. 321 00:14:58,948 --> 00:15:02,228 Speaker 1: Enjoyed Texas and the wonderful hallway that you sit alongst 322 00:15:02,268 --> 00:15:17,428 Speaker 1: the Christmas Trees. We've got a great whiteboard Wednesday headed 323 00:15:17,468 --> 00:15:19,148 Speaker 1: your way, so let's just jump it into it. After 324 00:15:19,188 --> 00:15:21,668 Speaker 1: getting a huge win over the white Things last week, 325 00:15:21,748 --> 00:15:24,748 Speaker 1: Lions left tackle Taylor Decker told reporters they've got to 326 00:15:24,828 --> 00:15:27,828 Speaker 1: keep the momentum going and that they quote can't afford 327 00:15:27,868 --> 00:15:30,948 Speaker 1: to lay an egg. Peter, the team that can't afford 328 00:15:30,988 --> 00:15:34,068 Speaker 1: to lay an egg heading into week fifteen is a 329 00:15:34,108 --> 00:15:36,308 Speaker 1: great Sunday night if you're a Charger span you know 330 00:15:36,428 --> 00:15:40,188 Speaker 1: everyone's watching this. This to a Herbert debate. Herbert wins 331 00:15:40,188 --> 00:15:42,148 Speaker 1: hands down, and it's like, all right, we're in this 332 00:15:42,148 --> 00:15:44,988 Speaker 1: playoff situation.

And 401 00:19:09,228 --> 00:19:11,548 Speaker 1: it's how I feel when people quote Christmas Vacation, because 402 00:19:11,548 --> 00:19:14,148 Speaker 1: that movie drives me crazy. I don't like it. That 403 00:19:14,308 --> 00:19:16,988 Speaker 1: line of humor, kind of like mister Bean, it just 404 00:19:17,028 --> 00:19:19,428 Speaker 1: doesn't play. It doesn't play.

Also, 409 00:19:30,108 --> 00:19:31,828 Speaker 1: the director had to quit the movie because he hated 410 00:19:31,908 --> 00:19:33,828 Speaker 1: Chevy Chase so much. That's a fact, as Chris Columbus, 411 00:19:33,828 --> 00:19:35,668 Speaker 1: you went on to direct Home Alone. Also, the fact 412 00:19:35,668 --> 00:19:37,668 Speaker 1: that Clark is in the department store shopping with his 413 00:19:37,708 --> 00:19:40,428 Speaker 1: wife and children and just ogling the lingerie lady right 414 00:19:40,468 --> 00:19:42,668 Speaker 1: in front of his son is not cool, Like that's 415 00:19:42,668 --> 00:19:44,428 Speaker 1: a married man.

But there's a guy 588 00:28:29,788 --> 00:28:32,708 Speaker 1: on a roster who has not struggled over the last 589 00:28:32,748 --> 00:28:35,708 Speaker 1: two weeks. His name is Tyreek Hill. This guy in 590 00:28:35,748 --> 00:28:37,588 Speaker 1: the last two weeks, they haven't won these games and 591 00:28:37,628 --> 00:28:39,468 Speaker 1: it's been a little ugly for them. Tyreek Hill in 592 00:28:39,508 --> 00:28:42,868 Speaker 1: the last two games thirteen receptions, two hundred twenty seven 593 00:28:42,948 --> 00:28:46,388 Speaker 1: yards and two touchdowns.

So I want to see what he's 598 00:28:56,628 --> 00:28:59,628 Speaker 1: able to do this week. And they also talked about 599 00:28:59,708 --> 00:29:02,068 Speaker 1: this week.

If he's talking about going against 610 00:29:27,788 --> 00:29:31,348 Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs this season, then Saturday night, I 611 00:29:31,428 --> 00:29:34,948 Speaker 1: need to see something from him and this Miami Dolphins offense, 612 00:29:35,108 --> 00:29:37,308 Speaker 1: because in order to see the Kansas City Chiefs and 613 00:29:37,348 --> 00:29:39,428 Speaker 1: the playoffs, they're gonna have to pick it up.

They're gonna be there in the playoffs. Miami 618 00:29:50,548 --> 00:29:52,588 Speaker 1: Dolphins right now are kind of going the wrong way. 619 00:29:52,628 --> 00:29:54,908 Speaker 1: So Tyree Hill, I'll be watching him to see what 620 00:29:54,908 --> 00:29:57,668 Speaker 1: he does.

Here's the facts, 626 00:30:13,268 --> 00:30:18,428 Speaker 1: here's my research. Today in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, sixty eight degrees 627 00:30:18,788 --> 00:30:25,828 Speaker 1: nice December Wednesday. Today in Honolulu, Hawaii, we're t to 628 00:30:25,908 --> 00:30:30,468 Speaker 1: high school eighty degrees and it sounds good. Today Buffalo, 629 00:30:30,788 --> 00:30:34,508 Speaker 1: New York, twenty one degrees. Precipitation is coming, the temperature 630 00:30:34,588 --> 00:30:36,788 Speaker 1: is dropping. Can do A do this now? It's not 631 00:30:36,868 --> 00:30:39,588 Speaker 1: just wild conjecture to say, yeah, but he's from Hawaii. 632 00:30:39,628 --> 00:30:42,188 Speaker 1: Can you play in the cold. We looked two his 633 00:30:42,348 --> 00:30:45,788 Speaker 1: starts in the coldest temperatures up to his brief NFL career, 634 00:30:46,068 --> 00:30:48,588 Speaker 1: thirty five, thirty six and a Bobby forty five. Lost 635 00:30:48,588 --> 00:30:51,068 Speaker 1: them all, lost them all, didn't play well in them. 636 00:30:51,068 --> 00:30:53,708 Speaker 1: He's got two touchdowns of four interceptions, one of them 637 00:30:53,788 --> 00:30:55,988 Speaker 1: is at Buffalo, and these games are going to be 638 00:30:56,028 --> 00:30:58,708 Speaker 1: significantly warmer than the one this weekend is going to be. 639 00:30:58,748 --> 00:31:00,788 Speaker 1: And it's a night game, so it's gonna drop show 640 00:31:00,828 --> 00:31:03,828 Speaker 1: us something. We love the weather angle here because honestly 641 00:31:03,828 --> 00:31:06,188 Speaker 1: it's funny and kind of silly, but also they caused 642 00:31:06,228 --> 00:31:10,508 Speaker 1: into question somebody's toughness, someone's experience, like if Tua goes 643 00:31:10,548 --> 00:31:12,988 Speaker 1: out there and doesn't look great again and it's cold 644 00:31:12,988 --> 00:31:15,268 Speaker 1: and they're doing the handwarmer cam on the sideline and 645 00:31:15,388 --> 00:31:17,228 Speaker 1: Peter are you're gonna be on handwarmer cam detail You're 646 00:31:17,228 --> 00:31:19,388 Speaker 1: gonna be working work in that sideline, and I will 647 00:31:19,428 --> 00:31:22,148 Speaker 1: be on the Miami Dolphins sidelines. That's that's fatching. Yeah, 648 00:31:22,188 --> 00:31:24,228 Speaker 1: I'll be watching too closely and seeing how they're doing. 649 00:31:24,428 --> 00:31:26,228 Speaker 1: So this is a real story though it's the story. 650 00:31:26,228 --> 00:31:28,108 Speaker 1: How are you gonna cover that? Of course at the storyline, 651 00:31:28,108 --> 00:31:29,748 Speaker 1: how are they using the heaters? They used the heaters 652 00:31:29,788 --> 00:31:31,788 Speaker 1: in LA again all the Chargers, I think at a 653 00:31:31,908 --> 00:31:33,588 Speaker 1: fifty five degree whether are they gonna use it here? 654 00:31:33,628 --> 00:31:35,708 Speaker 1: And I go back to that game that you mentioned 655 00:31:35,708 --> 00:31:37,508 Speaker 1: on top of that graphic and it was the final 656 00:31:37,548 --> 00:31:39,708 Speaker 1: week of twenty twenty and the Dolphins still had a 657 00:31:39,788 --> 00:31:42,068 Speaker 1: chance in the playoffs, and they were going into Buffalo 658 00:31:42,108 --> 00:31:45,108 Speaker 1: and the weather wasn't only thirty five degrees. The Bills 659 00:31:45,108 --> 00:31:48,308 Speaker 1: won that game fifty six to twenty six, playing a 660 00:31:48,308 --> 00:31:50,548 Speaker 1: bunch of about Isaiah McKenzie had three touchdowns in the 661 00:31:50,588 --> 00:31:53,788 Speaker 1: first first half. Like, this game right here to me 662 00:31:53,948 --> 00:31:57,348 Speaker 1: was alarming if you're a toa fan, because they needed 663 00:31:57,388 --> 00:31:59,148 Speaker 1: this game and it was a big spot. There were 664 00:31:59,148 --> 00:32:01,148 Speaker 1: no fans in the crowd because it was the COVID 665 00:32:01,188 --> 00:32:03,908 Speaker 1: season and to a laid an egg, it was probably 666 00:32:03,948 --> 00:32:06,388 Speaker 1: his worst performance as an NFL quarterback and it was 667 00:32:06,428 --> 00:32:09,388 Speaker 1: in the biggest of games. This worries me a little 668 00:32:09,428 --> 00:32:12,068 Speaker 1: bit because they've now lost two straight games. They lost 669 00:32:12,148 --> 00:32:15,268 Speaker 1: on Sunday to the Chargers. All right, you look at 670 00:32:15,308 --> 00:32:17,588 Speaker 1: this playoff picture right here. They're in the middle row 671 00:32:17,668 --> 00:32:20,308 Speaker 1: here yea, and Miami is now firmly in that playoff 672 00:32:20,308 --> 00:32:22,948 Speaker 1: spots to sixth seed. You know what they lose to 673 00:32:22,988 --> 00:32:25,548 Speaker 1: the Chargers. Chargers win, Chargers at the tiebreaker are over them. 674 00:32:25,588 --> 00:32:27,508 Speaker 1: Chargers are eight and six and Miami's eight and six. 675 00:32:27,628 --> 00:32:30,108 Speaker 1: Sorry Miami. If the Jets beat the Lions, the Jets 676 00:32:30,148 --> 00:32:32,108 Speaker 1: beat the Dolphins. Are this year, the Jets are in 677 00:32:32,108 --> 00:32:34,548 Speaker 1: the playoffs, the Dolphins are out. The Dolphins would be 678 00:32:34,628 --> 00:32:36,428 Speaker 1: out of the playoffs if they lose this game. That's 679 00:32:36,468 --> 00:32:40,228 Speaker 1: after three months of us breathlessly talking about the Dolphins. 680 00:32:40,268 --> 00:32:42,228 Speaker 1: They never lose a game. The two Stars, oh two 681 00:32:42,268 --> 00:32:45,908 Speaker 1: is so this quickly my last thing, Jamie, We're gonna 682 00:32:46,108 --> 00:32:48,348 Speaker 1: We're gonna just hit this row one more time. As 683 00:32:48,348 --> 00:32:50,348 Speaker 1: the weather, all right, We've got a guy and he's 684 00:32:50,388 --> 00:32:53,548 Speaker 1: my friend, Patrick Hammer. He is the chief meteorologist at 685 00:32:53,748 --> 00:32:57,508 Speaker 1: w g RZ and Buffalo. He watched Pat Hammer, Pad Hammer, 686 00:32:57,708 --> 00:33:00,428 Speaker 1: we talk. He knows Will Silva from there Atlanta days 687 00:33:00,468 --> 00:33:02,708 Speaker 1: they worked either in the same news room. What's the hammer? Guy? 688 00:33:02,788 --> 00:33:05,308 Speaker 1: Pat tells me this on Saturday Effects snow is going 689 00:33:05,348 --> 00:33:07,508 Speaker 1: to be heading on from Buffalo and then south towards 690 00:33:07,548 --> 00:33:10,148 Speaker 1: the stadium. That their day goes right. For the game itself, 691 00:33:10,148 --> 00:33:12,108 Speaker 1: there is a chance of steady snow with it possibly 692 00:33:12,148 --> 00:33:15,508 Speaker 1: becoming heavy right when kickoff starts. Temperatures in the twenty 693 00:33:15,548 --> 00:33:19,508 Speaker 1: with gusty thirty mile per hour winds. Remember Lake Effects snow. 694 00:33:19,708 --> 00:33:21,988 Speaker 1: Those bands they're only about twenty miles wide. So it 695 00:33:22,028 --> 00:33:24,228 Speaker 1: doesn't take much for the snow and then out and 696 00:33:24,268 --> 00:33:26,708 Speaker 1: it comes a short distance away, and I think we're 697 00:33:26,708 --> 00:33:29,188 Speaker 1: gonna have some real weather. And Patrick Camer's my guy, 698 00:33:29,508 --> 00:33:32,868 Speaker 1: and he knows locally in Buffalo that as kickoff starts, 699 00:33:33,028 --> 00:33:37,148 Speaker 1: we're talking snow, we're talking wind Dolphins. It's very cliche 700 00:33:37,188 --> 00:33:39,508 Speaker 1: to say the Dolphins can't win in cold weather. Prove 701 00:33:39,588 --> 00:33:44,068 Speaker 1: us wrong. Weather Twitter is a big community. They really 702 00:33:44,108 --> 00:33:45,988 Speaker 1: appreciate it when we talk about weather Twitter or Good 703 00:33:45,988 --> 00:33:47,588 Speaker 1: Morning Football.

Now, the matters are still very much 706 00:33:52,908 --> 00:33:56,268 Speaker 1: alive in the NFC playoff race. Defensive Tackles Drown Payne 707 00:33:56,348 --> 00:33:59,188 Speaker 1: joins us to preview their Sunday night matchup against the Giant. 708 00:33:59,228 --> 00:34:02,468 Speaker 1: That game got flexed. It's important command. It was a 709 00:34:02,548 --> 00:34:05,228 Speaker 1: tie two weeks ago. Lots of having trouble looking at 710 00:34:05,268 --> 00:34:07,788 Speaker 1: the Giants. It's hurting my eyes. They got away from us, 711 00:34:07,788 --> 00:34:09,868 Speaker 1: they went where we can't. But they're still alive. Turn 712 00:34:09,948 --> 00:34:10,468 Speaker 1: this thing around.
