It was awesome, This 20 00:01:12,068 --> 00:01:14,468 Speaker 5: was an amazing event and felt it. Look at these 21 00:01:14,548 --> 00:01:17,548 Speaker 5: two guys back, what's the Geico caveman ad That's what 22 00:01:17,588 --> 00:01:20,188 Speaker 5: it looked like with Cooper Cup out there, long hair 23 00:01:20,348 --> 00:01:21,148 Speaker 5: and ready to go. 24 00:01:21,508 --> 00:01:22,668 Speaker 4: Nakua and cup. 25 00:01:23,028 --> 00:01:26,348 Speaker 5: All right, then the controversial play of the week Matthew 26 00:01:26,348 --> 00:01:28,588 Speaker 5: Stafford in his own end zone less than I mem sorry, 27 00:01:28,628 --> 00:01:29,268 Speaker 5: Sam Darnold. 28 00:01:29,588 --> 00:01:33,308 Speaker 4: And clearly it's a face mask, yet no flag. 29 00:01:33,948 --> 00:01:36,228 Speaker 5: It's under two minutes, it's a scoring play, so clearly 30 00:01:36,308 --> 00:01:40,668 Speaker 5: we can review it. Right, No, under no conditions can 31 00:01:40,708 --> 00:01:45,268 Speaker 5: you review a face mask to safety? The Rams to 32 00:01:45,308 --> 00:01:47,708 Speaker 5: get the ball, they take a knee and. 33 00:01:47,668 --> 00:01:48,388 Speaker 7: That's the game. 34 00:01:49,228 --> 00:01:50,188 Speaker 2: Thirty to twenty. 35 00:01:50,748 --> 00:01:54,828 Speaker 5: Rams beat the Vikings. Stafford goes for two seventy nine 36 00:01:54,868 --> 00:01:58,828 Speaker 5: and four tugs. But afterwards we speak to the head coach. 37 00:01:58,868 --> 00:02:01,188 Speaker 5: When it was a very busy week in LA. 38 00:02:01,868 --> 00:02:05,148 Speaker 8: For the Rams, I thought it was great, just a 39 00:02:05,188 --> 00:02:06,908 Speaker 8: boost for our team to be able to get two 40 00:02:06,948 --> 00:02:10,228 Speaker 8: experienced guys that were ready to go. They were chomping 41 00:02:10,228 --> 00:02:10,628 Speaker 8: at the bit. 42 00:02:10,948 --> 00:02:11,828 Speaker 2: They had been prepared. 43 00:02:11,908 --> 00:02:14,468 Speaker 8: Obviously, we really don't practice leading into this game. You 44 00:02:14,508 --> 00:02:16,548 Speaker 8: get like twenty full speed reps and those are still 45 00:02:16,548 --> 00:02:17,428 Speaker 8: minimal as is. 46 00:02:17,788 --> 00:02:18,868 Speaker 2: It's all above the neck. 47 00:02:19,388 --> 00:02:21,028 Speaker 8: But I thought Matthew had a look in his eye 48 00:02:21,068 --> 00:02:22,428 Speaker 8: where he was going to be ready to go, and 49 00:02:22,468 --> 00:02:24,788 Speaker 8: it's like, hey, you're coming with me because we're going 50 00:02:24,828 --> 00:02:26,428 Speaker 8: to go do this thing. The right way, and he 51 00:02:26,748 --> 00:02:29,468 Speaker 8: thought he got through progressions. I mean he looked like 52 00:02:29,508 --> 00:02:32,108 Speaker 8: Alcaaz on the court, escaping the two rushers to be 53 00:02:32,148 --> 00:02:33,868 Speaker 8: able to throw Cooper Cup his touchdown. 54 00:02:34,548 --> 00:02:35,148 Speaker 7: That was a good one. 55 00:02:35,148 --> 00:02:37,668 Speaker 8: Man, Give me a courtesy laugh at least, but he 56 00:02:37,868 --> 00:02:39,948 Speaker 8: was I really I think, you know, we've got to 57 00:02:39,948 --> 00:02:42,668 Speaker 8: build on this, and it's one game. I'm really pleased 58 00:02:42,708 --> 00:02:44,628 Speaker 8: with the resolve and the response of this team coming 59 00:02:44,668 --> 00:02:46,348 Speaker 8: off of the buy, and now we got to keep 60 00:02:46,388 --> 00:02:47,148 Speaker 8: this momentum going. 61 00:02:47,708 --> 00:02:49,868 Speaker 3: I chuckled coach at Alkaz. I liked that comment in 62 00:02:49,908 --> 00:02:52,108 Speaker 3: your press conference. But Peter, I want to circle back 63 00:02:52,148 --> 00:02:55,388 Speaker 3: to first. We got to start with that controversial ending 64 00:02:55,428 --> 00:02:58,668 Speaker 3: to the game last night with the missed face mask call. 65 00:02:59,028 --> 00:03:00,588 Speaker 6: It looked like you really got a hand on it. 66 00:03:00,628 --> 00:03:02,668 Speaker 3: But as you sort of said in the highlight, that's 67 00:03:02,708 --> 00:03:03,828 Speaker 3: not a reviewabal play. 68 00:03:03,828 --> 00:03:06,708 Speaker 4: Why can you tell us, Yeah, let's explain this. I mean, 69 00:03:06,788 --> 00:03:09,148 Speaker 4: clearly it's a face mask. It is if you want 70 00:03:09,188 --> 00:03:11,748 Speaker 4: to see the plays. He gets cleared right, but there 71 00:03:11,788 --> 00:03:12,468 Speaker 4: was no flag. 72 00:03:12,548 --> 00:03:14,748 Speaker 5: The officials didn't see it. So you say it's under 73 00:03:14,788 --> 00:03:16,508 Speaker 5: two minutes and it's a scoring play. 74 00:03:16,588 --> 00:03:17,748 Speaker 4: Review it go to New. 75 00:03:17,708 --> 00:03:20,988 Speaker 5: York by the letter of the law, it can't be reviewed. 76 00:03:21,228 --> 00:03:22,028 Speaker 4: After the game. 77 00:03:22,108 --> 00:03:24,388 Speaker 5: There's the pool reporter. Reporter is assigned to be able 78 00:03:24,428 --> 00:03:27,348 Speaker 5: to speak to the officials. A reporter did ask the 79 00:03:27,468 --> 00:03:31,228 Speaker 5: lead referee, Jerome Blake, was there a discussion on the field, 80 00:03:31,268 --> 00:03:33,508 Speaker 5: because obviously the Vikings are complaining about it. Did your 81 00:03:33,548 --> 00:03:35,228 Speaker 5: crew of a discussion like, hey, did we miss this 82 00:03:35,708 --> 00:03:38,268 Speaker 5: or anything like that on the field? In Blake to 83 00:03:38,348 --> 00:03:42,948 Speaker 5: the pool reporter responded, on the field, we definitely discussed it, 84 00:03:42,988 --> 00:03:44,868 Speaker 5: because they did bring it up. We discussed it as 85 00:03:44,868 --> 00:03:46,388 Speaker 5: a crew, but we weren't able to see it on 86 00:03:46,428 --> 00:03:48,468 Speaker 5: the field, so we weren't able to make that call. Remember, 87 00:03:48,828 --> 00:03:53,628 Speaker 5: letter of the law is that play reviewable. It's not reviewable. 88 00:03:53,948 --> 00:03:56,588 Speaker 4: So Vikings fans, we hear you. 89 00:03:57,428 --> 00:04:01,188 Speaker 5: NFL fans who are watching objectively or not so objectively, 90 00:04:01,388 --> 00:04:05,228 Speaker 5: we see you. It's clearly a face mask. But the 91 00:04:05,268 --> 00:04:08,148 Speaker 5: resident's see it. It's a human error. It's what it is. 92 00:04:08,308 --> 00:04:11,588 Speaker 5: So complain all you want in the rule books. This 93 00:04:11,668 --> 00:04:14,308 Speaker 5: is a non reviewable play. It's one of the few 94 00:04:14,388 --> 00:04:18,468 Speaker 5: penalties that is simply just non reviewable, regardless of two minutes, 95 00:04:19,148 --> 00:04:22,268 Speaker 5: regardless of what it is. But I also think Sherry, 96 00:04:22,268 --> 00:04:24,748 Speaker 5: they're down eight with less than two minutes to go. 97 00:04:24,668 --> 00:04:25,948 Speaker 4: In the back of their end zone. 98 00:04:26,428 --> 00:04:27,948 Speaker 5: I don't want to take to win away from the 99 00:04:28,028 --> 00:04:32,068 Speaker 5: La Rams over a play that was yes, significant, but 100 00:04:32,188 --> 00:04:34,988 Speaker 5: also was not exactly a scoring play at the other 101 00:04:35,068 --> 00:04:36,388 Speaker 5: end zone, I would have decided the game. 102 00:04:36,468 --> 00:04:38,308 Speaker 3: Yeah, a lot to unpack there. I know there's a 103 00:04:38,308 --> 00:04:39,908 Speaker 3: lot of unhappy vikings fans with that. 104 00:04:39,948 --> 00:04:42,388 Speaker 6: But the Rams, we got to give them their flowers. 105 00:04:42,428 --> 00:04:44,668 Speaker 6: They looked very different last night. 106 00:04:44,708 --> 00:04:47,308 Speaker 3: A large things to Puka Nakua and Cooper Cup back 107 00:04:47,348 --> 00:04:49,268 Speaker 3: out there on the field, Banta. I saw you have 108 00:04:49,308 --> 00:04:51,348 Speaker 3: a reaction there just to the face mask. 109 00:04:51,388 --> 00:04:52,428 Speaker 6: But overall, what did. 110 00:04:52,268 --> 00:04:54,788 Speaker 3: You really like and what did this tell you about 111 00:04:54,828 --> 00:04:55,308 Speaker 3: the Rams? 112 00:04:55,388 --> 00:04:56,668 Speaker 7: What that I like? What did I love? 113 00:04:56,748 --> 00:05:00,948 Speaker 9: I mean, if you were ever guessing what impact two 114 00:05:00,988 --> 00:05:03,508 Speaker 9: people could have on a team, just watch not only 115 00:05:03,868 --> 00:05:06,748 Speaker 9: the impact that Pooka and Cup had when they had 116 00:05:06,788 --> 00:05:07,508 Speaker 9: the ball. 117 00:05:07,268 --> 00:05:09,628 Speaker 7: And they got the ball, especially Puoka. 118 00:05:09,308 --> 00:05:12,868 Speaker 9: Fair amount, but watch the way that that whole team rallied, 119 00:05:12,948 --> 00:05:15,828 Speaker 9: especially the way that those holes opened up for Kien 120 00:05:15,828 --> 00:05:20,028 Speaker 9: Williams Richard Sherman that identified it at halftime, How wide 121 00:05:20,108 --> 00:05:23,028 Speaker 9: those holes were, how big those I think he was 122 00:05:23,068 --> 00:05:27,188 Speaker 9: averaging around five to six yards per carry. Karen Williams 123 00:05:27,308 --> 00:05:29,588 Speaker 9: I said yesterday, all you need to do is get 124 00:05:29,588 --> 00:05:31,588 Speaker 9: this young man in the low red zone and turn 125 00:05:31,628 --> 00:05:33,628 Speaker 9: the ball over to him, and good things happen. It's 126 00:05:33,628 --> 00:05:36,428 Speaker 9: been happening all year. He ran the angle route for 127 00:05:36,548 --> 00:05:39,268 Speaker 9: that touchdown in the first quarter, similarly to how he 128 00:05:39,308 --> 00:05:42,628 Speaker 9: did it against the forty nine ers. Karen Williams is 129 00:05:42,748 --> 00:05:46,108 Speaker 9: automatic down there. But when you have Cooper Cup and 130 00:05:46,148 --> 00:05:48,708 Speaker 9: you have Puka Nakua, I mean, Shrek g pointed out, 131 00:05:48,748 --> 00:05:50,348 Speaker 9: they were doubled all game long. 132 00:05:50,428 --> 00:05:52,468 Speaker 7: So what does that do, guys? I don't know. 133 00:05:52,508 --> 00:05:56,348 Speaker 9: I don't remember Minnesota blitzing a lot last night, do you? 134 00:05:57,068 --> 00:05:59,788 Speaker 9: And this is a team that has the highest blitz 135 00:05:59,868 --> 00:06:01,228 Speaker 9: rate in the NFL. 136 00:06:01,668 --> 00:06:03,548 Speaker 7: But I did not see them blitz a lot. And 137 00:06:03,788 --> 00:06:05,908 Speaker 7: these are the time type of effects. 138 00:06:05,788 --> 00:06:08,468 Speaker 9: That having Cooper Cup in that has, that that having 139 00:06:08,548 --> 00:06:11,788 Speaker 9: Pooka Nicole in has on a team, for your team 140 00:06:11,908 --> 00:06:13,028 Speaker 9: and the defending team. 141 00:06:13,268 --> 00:06:14,708 Speaker 7: It was so nice to watch. 142 00:06:14,748 --> 00:06:17,748 Speaker 9: It was nice to see Matt Stafford get into his 143 00:06:17,868 --> 00:06:21,028 Speaker 9: groove smile again. And it reminded me of Rise of 144 00:06:21,028 --> 00:06:23,908 Speaker 9: the Skywalker when all hope was lost and they think 145 00:06:23,908 --> 00:06:27,188 Speaker 9: they're they're they're defeated, and then Lando's fleet shows up. 146 00:06:27,428 --> 00:06:29,468 Speaker 7: That was Pooka and Nicole and that was Cooper Cup. 147 00:06:29,508 --> 00:06:31,228 Speaker 7: So I loved watching the last night's game. 148 00:06:31,348 --> 00:06:32,228 Speaker 4: Yeah, it was. 149 00:06:32,308 --> 00:06:34,428 Speaker 10: I mean, you talked about you know, Brian Flores, we 150 00:06:34,508 --> 00:06:36,948 Speaker 10: talked about that that pressure that we like to see 151 00:06:37,188 --> 00:06:40,188 Speaker 10: out of that Vikings defense. Very aggressive defense. But the 152 00:06:40,508 --> 00:06:42,508 Speaker 10: when you look at the way this game was played, 153 00:06:42,828 --> 00:06:45,828 Speaker 10: being able to establish the run with Kyroen Williams on 154 00:06:45,908 --> 00:06:48,828 Speaker 10: first and second down, that made it very, very difficult. 155 00:06:48,868 --> 00:06:51,068 Speaker 10: And on top of that, you looked at a lot 156 00:06:51,068 --> 00:06:53,748 Speaker 10: of the pre snap motion that the Rams had. They 157 00:06:53,788 --> 00:06:56,308 Speaker 10: were doing that stuff back and forth. Nobody runs pre 158 00:06:56,388 --> 00:06:59,028 Speaker 10: snap motion more than the Rams, and that can make 159 00:06:59,028 --> 00:07:01,268 Speaker 10: it extremely difficult on the defense. And I thought one 160 00:07:01,268 --> 00:07:04,468 Speaker 10: of the biggest glaring differences with the Vikings defense is 161 00:07:04,468 --> 00:07:07,308 Speaker 10: the fact that they don't have Blake Cashman. I mean, 162 00:07:07,308 --> 00:07:09,828 Speaker 10: if you think about Blake not being there to be 163 00:07:09,868 --> 00:07:12,108 Speaker 10: able to that middle linebacker, being able to get the 164 00:07:12,148 --> 00:07:14,228 Speaker 10: play call and make all of those adjustments, it was 165 00:07:14,228 --> 00:07:15,908 Speaker 10: a lot of adjustments. 166 00:07:15,308 --> 00:07:16,788 Speaker 4: To be made in that game. 167 00:07:17,028 --> 00:07:18,668 Speaker 10: But you know, I want to go into the Rams 168 00:07:18,748 --> 00:07:21,428 Speaker 10: because the Rams, to me, they showed something. They just 169 00:07:21,468 --> 00:07:24,028 Speaker 10: showed us that they were playing on that low battery mode. 170 00:07:24,028 --> 00:07:25,868 Speaker 10: You know, low battery mode when you get to yet 171 00:07:25,948 --> 00:07:28,548 Speaker 10: a little yellow sign. I don't have everything, but once 172 00:07:28,588 --> 00:07:32,548 Speaker 10: you have everything operating in full power, man, they were exciting. 173 00:07:32,628 --> 00:07:34,988 Speaker 10: It was fun. It was a fun game to watch. Now, 174 00:07:35,028 --> 00:07:37,508 Speaker 10: I will say this, I don't know about all that 175 00:07:37,548 --> 00:07:39,908 Speaker 10: conversation about Cooper Cup being traded. 176 00:07:40,268 --> 00:07:42,668 Speaker 4: That seems a little ridiculous. 177 00:07:42,668 --> 00:07:45,508 Speaker 10: In fact, that seems really ridiculous to even think about 178 00:07:45,588 --> 00:07:50,148 Speaker 10: trading Cooper Cup because that offense was totally different, different 179 00:07:50,148 --> 00:07:53,628 Speaker 10: when we saw Pooka Nakua, Kyron Williams and of course 180 00:07:53,668 --> 00:07:55,708 Speaker 10: Cooper Cup going at it, and it made a big 181 00:07:55,708 --> 00:07:57,268 Speaker 10: difference for Kiro Williams. 182 00:07:57,348 --> 00:07:59,428 Speaker 5: Well, you know, I'm close to this acbar, someone who 183 00:07:59,468 --> 00:08:02,028 Speaker 5: does reporting on this network and someone who is often 184 00:08:02,188 --> 00:08:03,228 Speaker 5: out there on the front lines. 185 00:08:03,268 --> 00:08:05,428 Speaker 4: I've got a relationship with Rams. And people look to 186 00:08:05,468 --> 00:08:05,748 Speaker 4: me and. 187 00:08:05,708 --> 00:08:08,188 Speaker 5: Say, well, there's reports out there that Pukuna Kua is 188 00:08:09,308 --> 00:08:10,668 Speaker 5: out for the next twenty one days. 189 00:08:10,708 --> 00:08:12,668 Speaker 4: What do you say, I say, hold on, and there's. 190 00:08:12,428 --> 00:08:14,748 Speaker 5: Reports out here that Cooper Cup is going to have to, 191 00:08:15,268 --> 00:08:16,148 Speaker 5: you know, be shipped off. 192 00:08:16,268 --> 00:08:17,508 Speaker 4: And I said, when I say, yesterday in the show. 193 00:08:17,548 --> 00:08:21,148 Speaker 5: I said, if they win tomorrow, put that stuff away. 194 00:08:21,388 --> 00:08:23,508 Speaker 5: Put that stuff away if they win tomorrow. And I 195 00:08:23,548 --> 00:08:25,788 Speaker 5: stand by that report. I think people were jumping the 196 00:08:25,788 --> 00:08:29,148 Speaker 5: gun and McVeigh seemed rather peeved after the game. He said, yes, 197 00:08:29,268 --> 00:08:32,548 Speaker 5: people called us, but reports that we were calling around 198 00:08:32,588 --> 00:08:37,468 Speaker 5: shopping Cooper Cup that speculation, also speculation is ever putting 199 00:08:37,508 --> 00:08:41,308 Speaker 5: this team down before they're actually eliminated. 200 00:08:41,428 --> 00:08:43,828 Speaker 4: I am so impressed with the way that. 201 00:08:43,748 --> 00:08:45,828 Speaker 5: This team has rallied around itself in a matter of 202 00:08:45,868 --> 00:08:49,148 Speaker 5: five days, winning two games and found themselves right back 203 00:08:49,188 --> 00:08:51,668 Speaker 5: in the thicket things in the NFC playoff picture. Consider this. 204 00:08:52,228 --> 00:08:55,108 Speaker 5: They were one in four going into their bye week. 205 00:08:55,188 --> 00:08:57,828 Speaker 5: Stafford was with me on NFL Kickoff at Fox. 206 00:08:57,868 --> 00:08:59,268 Speaker 4: We were all talking and. 207 00:08:59,188 --> 00:09:01,388 Speaker 5: He said, we are not done yet, Like we got 208 00:09:01,428 --> 00:09:02,268 Speaker 5: to get our guys back. 209 00:09:02,348 --> 00:09:04,908 Speaker 4: Injuries matter, but hang in there. Well, they go and 210 00:09:04,948 --> 00:09:05,468 Speaker 4: they beat. 211 00:09:05,268 --> 00:09:07,868 Speaker 5: The Raiders, and then four days later they go and 212 00:09:07,908 --> 00:09:10,548 Speaker 5: they take care of business against what was hyped up 213 00:09:10,588 --> 00:09:13,788 Speaker 5: as one of the most pressure filled, blitz happy team. 214 00:09:13,868 --> 00:09:16,828 Speaker 5: Flores couldn't blitz Manti. You nailed it. When you have 215 00:09:16,948 --> 00:09:19,148 Speaker 5: Nicua and Cup, you have to cover those guys and 216 00:09:19,188 --> 00:09:21,908 Speaker 5: account for them. It's also why DeMarcus Robinson's able to 217 00:09:21,908 --> 00:09:24,988 Speaker 5: score these touchdowns. He's on single coverage the entire game. 218 00:09:25,228 --> 00:09:28,468 Speaker 5: The offensive line held up. What a difference these two 219 00:09:28,508 --> 00:09:32,148 Speaker 5: wide receivers make, but what a difference coaching makes. McVeigh 220 00:09:32,228 --> 00:09:35,308 Speaker 5: never gave up on this team. McVeigh never bailed on 221 00:09:35,308 --> 00:09:38,388 Speaker 5: this team. Last night, he became the all time winning 222 00:09:38,388 --> 00:09:42,268 Speaker 5: his coach in LA RAMS history, having eighty wins to 223 00:09:42,348 --> 00:09:42,948 Speaker 5: his resume. 224 00:09:43,388 --> 00:09:44,508 Speaker 4: This guy's not forty. 225 00:09:44,348 --> 00:09:48,308 Speaker 5: Years old yet an incredible performance out of what they did. 226 00:09:48,628 --> 00:09:50,468 Speaker 4: And I'll wrap it with this, Oh. 227 00:09:50,508 --> 00:09:54,228 Speaker 5: All that stuff about you know, the trades, and it's 228 00:09:54,268 --> 00:09:56,748 Speaker 5: fair to talk about it before the deadline, and yes, 229 00:09:56,948 --> 00:10:00,108 Speaker 5: Cooper Cup is an obvious name for it, but think 230 00:10:00,148 --> 00:10:02,588 Speaker 5: about what that does internally, How everyone's looking at each 231 00:10:02,628 --> 00:10:03,948 Speaker 5: other and saying, well, is this true? 232 00:10:04,508 --> 00:10:04,788 Speaker 4: You doing? 233 00:10:05,188 --> 00:10:07,108 Speaker 5: The fact that they were able to stay in the 234 00:10:07,148 --> 00:10:10,988 Speaker 5: pocket and stay together and just focus on the football, 235 00:10:11,508 --> 00:10:14,868 Speaker 5: that's pretty cool stuff. And yes, controversial call or not, 236 00:10:15,988 --> 00:10:18,348 Speaker 5: it goes their favor in this one and they win 237 00:10:18,428 --> 00:10:20,948 Speaker 5: the game. There's no apologies for that one. They were 238 00:10:20,988 --> 00:10:24,788 Speaker 5: dealing with the flames and the fire of just conflict 239 00:10:24,828 --> 00:10:28,028 Speaker 5: and controversy and everyone you know, talking about them, they 240 00:10:28,028 --> 00:10:29,828 Speaker 5: were able to focus on the football and they found 241 00:10:29,828 --> 00:10:31,668 Speaker 5: a way to go three and four and stay alive. 242 00:10:32,108 --> 00:10:33,508 Speaker 10: Yeah, And I was going to say, I was going 243 00:10:33,548 --> 00:10:35,428 Speaker 10: to say, don't don't count them out. You're right because 244 00:10:35,468 --> 00:10:37,108 Speaker 10: last year I think they went on that same type 245 00:10:37,108 --> 00:10:39,228 Speaker 10: of stretch where you know, they won on like seven 246 00:10:39,268 --> 00:10:40,748 Speaker 10: of the eight of their you know. 247 00:10:40,708 --> 00:10:42,508 Speaker 4: Games three and six last year. 248 00:10:42,588 --> 00:10:44,188 Speaker 2: Yea, and they. 249 00:10:44,148 --> 00:10:45,348 Speaker 4: Turned that sucker around. 250 00:10:45,388 --> 00:10:47,348 Speaker 10: So it's very clear that they've got all the right 251 00:10:47,388 --> 00:10:48,868 Speaker 10: pieces to turn it around. 252 00:10:49,068 --> 00:10:51,308 Speaker 3: I think what Peter, you and Kyle always echoed, never 253 00:10:51,388 --> 00:10:54,188 Speaker 3: doubt the head coach Sean McVay being usually at the 254 00:10:54,268 --> 00:10:56,748 Speaker 3: very top of that list, and last night an example 255 00:10:56,788 --> 00:10:57,028 Speaker 3: of that. 256 00:10:57,068 --> 00:10:58,148 Speaker 6: But I want to circle back. 257 00:10:58,148 --> 00:11:00,628 Speaker 3: You guys mentioned just no blitzing for some reason from 258 00:11:00,668 --> 00:11:03,108 Speaker 3: the Vikings Mantai as a middle linebacker. 259 00:11:03,148 --> 00:11:04,748 Speaker 6: How much of a headache is is it. 260 00:11:04,708 --> 00:11:07,388 Speaker 3: Having to go up against an offense like what the 261 00:11:07,508 --> 00:11:10,308 Speaker 3: Rams had last night? And why do you think they 262 00:11:10,348 --> 00:11:12,428 Speaker 3: didn't go soa blitz heavy when they that's sort of 263 00:11:12,428 --> 00:11:13,268 Speaker 3: been their calling. 264 00:11:12,988 --> 00:11:15,348 Speaker 9: Card this season because you know, Shrek Thanks, it's because 265 00:11:15,348 --> 00:11:18,988 Speaker 9: you can't, okay, when you have Pokin the Cool and 266 00:11:19,028 --> 00:11:21,348 Speaker 9: you have Cooper cup on one side, and and to 267 00:11:21,428 --> 00:11:23,428 Speaker 9: Shrek's part, if they were doubling these guys. 268 00:11:23,468 --> 00:11:26,628 Speaker 7: So that's four defenders. You only have seven left. 269 00:11:27,108 --> 00:11:29,308 Speaker 9: Four of them are the d linemen, right, so take 270 00:11:29,348 --> 00:11:31,068 Speaker 9: those four all, you really only have three. 271 00:11:31,188 --> 00:11:33,508 Speaker 7: So now what are you going to do with those three? Right? 272 00:11:33,588 --> 00:11:38,508 Speaker 9: So you watch it just how that compliments the whole dynamic. 273 00:11:38,628 --> 00:11:41,228 Speaker 9: And and you know off Bar mentioned the motioning of 274 00:11:41,308 --> 00:11:43,228 Speaker 9: the rams like they weren't doing that before. You know 275 00:11:43,268 --> 00:11:45,268 Speaker 9: why they weren't doing that before because they didn't have 276 00:11:45,308 --> 00:11:48,188 Speaker 9: those two who motions all the time, Cooper, Cup and 277 00:11:48,268 --> 00:11:50,748 Speaker 9: Pook and the cool So why is Sean McVay going 278 00:11:50,788 --> 00:11:52,628 Speaker 9: to require somebody else who doesn't do. 279 00:11:52,628 --> 00:11:54,428 Speaker 7: It to do it for the past few weeks. He's 280 00:11:54,468 --> 00:11:54,908 Speaker 7: not going to. 281 00:11:55,268 --> 00:11:57,308 Speaker 9: So he had all of his little jewels waiting for 282 00:11:57,708 --> 00:11:59,428 Speaker 9: when when they came back, he was going to roll 283 00:11:59,428 --> 00:12:01,388 Speaker 9: out the red carpet. And what a way to roll 284 00:12:01,388 --> 00:12:03,548 Speaker 9: out the red carpet here in La next door. I 285 00:12:03,588 --> 00:12:05,348 Speaker 9: know it was a party because they look like one 286 00:12:05,348 --> 00:12:08,388 Speaker 9: on TV. But you can't blitz as a defense when 287 00:12:08,428 --> 00:12:11,508 Speaker 9: you're so afraid of all of the different pieces and 288 00:12:11,588 --> 00:12:14,708 Speaker 9: where Sean McVay puts them on the football field, you 289 00:12:14,828 --> 00:12:15,628 Speaker 9: just play defense. 290 00:12:15,748 --> 00:12:18,428 Speaker 3: Yeah, And looking at the numbers, Pooka Nakua Cooper Cup 291 00:12:18,468 --> 00:12:21,108 Speaker 3: total one hundred and sixty two total yards.

Often when you 309 00:12:59,668 --> 00:13:01,188 Speaker 11: see an injury like this, it is. 310 00:13:01,148 --> 00:13:01,948 Speaker 4: A knee sprain. 311 00:13:02,188 --> 00:13:03,988 Speaker 11: But he is going to have an MRI today just 312 00:13:03,988 --> 00:13:07,108 Speaker 11: did if that is true and the severity of this 313 00:13:07,228 --> 00:13:10,308 Speaker 11: more information coming with coach Kevin O'Connell is saying after 314 00:13:10,348 --> 00:13:13,228 Speaker 11: the game. He is hoping and optimistic for good news, 315 00:13:13,388 --> 00:13:16,068 Speaker 11: but nothing clear until they get the MRI. Usually when 316 00:13:16,068 --> 00:13:18,988 Speaker 11: players are ruled out quickly, not a great sign, but 317 00:13:19,028 --> 00:13:22,348 Speaker 11: we will see.

If he did, maybe he can go for 324 00:13:37,908 --> 00:13:40,308 Speaker 11: that big time showdown with the Bears. We don't know 325 00:13:40,468 --> 00:13:42,428 Speaker 11: yet whether or not that is going. 326 00:13:42,348 --> 00:13:42,948 Speaker 4: To be the case. 327 00:13:43,308 --> 00:13:46,468 Speaker 11: Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers also dealing with an injury. 328 00:13:46,748 --> 00:13:47,908 Speaker 4: He is expected to play. 329 00:13:47,948 --> 00:13:50,628 Speaker 11: That's one thing that jeff Oldbrick, the interim coach, has 330 00:13:50,628 --> 00:13:51,988 Speaker 11: been clear about earlier in the week. 331 00:13:52,268 --> 00:13:53,908 Speaker 4: Rodgers is expected to go. 332 00:13:54,348 --> 00:13:56,668 Speaker 11: He's dealing with the knee injury that he had last 333 00:13:56,668 --> 00:13:58,588 Speaker 11: week when he kind of banged it. Now deal with 334 00:13:58,628 --> 00:14:01,828 Speaker 11: a hamstring injury seems like more maintenance than anything else. 335 00:14:02,148 --> 00:14:05,468 Speaker 11: He's forty years old, something obviously to watch. And then 336 00:14:05,468 --> 00:14:09,148 Speaker 11: for the Miami Dolphins to a Tugoballoa still on injury 337 00:14:09,188 --> 00:14:12,548 Speaker 11: reserve at his practice window twenty one day practice window open. 338 00:14:12,948 --> 00:14:15,828 Speaker 11: He was a full participant in yesterday's practice as he 339 00:14:15,948 --> 00:14:18,948 Speaker 11: tries to recover from the concussion that landed him on 340 00:14:19,028 --> 00:14:23,948 Speaker 11: ir My understanding is the expectation. Expectation is that two 341 00:14:23,948 --> 00:14:27,628 Speaker 11: ways clear from the nfo's concussion protocol today and should 342 00:14:27,628 --> 00:14:28,068 Speaker 11: be good to. 343 00:14:28,028 --> 00:14:28,748 Speaker 4: Go for Sunday. 344 00:14:28,788 --> 00:14:31,748 Speaker 11: We are waiting final word of that would be very, 345 00:14:31,828 --> 00:14:33,508 Speaker 11: very good news for the Miami Dolphins. 346 00:14:33,588 --> 00:14:35,308 Speaker 3: Yeah, the game is better with all three of those 347 00:14:35,348 --> 00:14:36,148 Speaker 3: quarterbacks playing. 348 00:14:36,188 --> 00:14:37,308 Speaker 6: We have to just wait and see. 349 00:14:37,308 --> 00:14:37,468 Speaker 12: Ian. 350 00:14:37,508 --> 00:14:40,348 Speaker 3: We appreciate that insight, Thank you so much.

I've got him on the practice right, 373 00:15:46,788 --> 00:15:50,108 Speaker 13: Why wait right? If he can without putting them in 374 00:15:50,148 --> 00:15:50,748 Speaker 13: a bad position. 375 00:15:51,308 --> 00:15:53,628 Speaker 3: Coach re setting us up perfectly for a round of 376 00:15:53,628 --> 00:15:55,548 Speaker 3: mad Man going to put a minute on the clock, 377 00:15:55,628 --> 00:15:58,428 Speaker 3: previewing as many games as we can. We are going 378 00:15:58,508 --> 00:16:01,308 Speaker 3: to start there with Chiefs and Raiders. Akbar, you're going 379 00:16:01,348 --> 00:16:03,388 Speaker 3: to start remember a minute on the clock as. 380 00:16:03,628 --> 00:16:04,788 Speaker 6: Your former team Raiders. 381 00:16:04,788 --> 00:16:04,948 Speaker 7: Here. 382 00:16:04,948 --> 00:16:06,148 Speaker 6: What are you looking for in this one? 383 00:16:06,188 --> 00:16:06,428 Speaker 7: Well? 384 00:16:06,468 --> 00:16:08,908 Speaker 10: Remember last year, you know the Raiders got one on 385 00:16:09,068 --> 00:16:11,988 Speaker 10: the Chiefs. But I think in this game, I believe 386 00:16:11,988 --> 00:16:13,828 Speaker 10: that the Kansas City Chiefs they're going to put out 387 00:16:13,908 --> 00:16:16,828 Speaker 10: DeAndre Hopkins out there, get him going. This is a 388 00:16:16,948 --> 00:16:19,188 Speaker 10: Raiders team that has struggled, but don't. 389 00:16:18,948 --> 00:16:21,348 Speaker 4: Trip this defense. It's pretty tough for the Raiders. 390 00:16:21,428 --> 00:16:24,508 Speaker 9: Yeah, the defense is pretty pretty tough, led by Robert Splaine. 391 00:16:24,548 --> 00:16:27,948 Speaker 9: He's playing solid. Alex Madison is playing solid. But there's 392 00:16:27,948 --> 00:16:30,348 Speaker 9: not a lot of highlights to this Las Vegas Raiders 393 00:16:30,348 --> 00:16:34,268 Speaker 9: team outside of Crosby and rock Powers. I know they're 394 00:16:34,308 --> 00:16:36,748 Speaker 9: having a lot of issues at the quarterback position. Davonte 395 00:16:36,788 --> 00:16:39,188 Speaker 9: Adams has traded, so a lot of respect to them 396 00:16:39,228 --> 00:16:41,908 Speaker 9: for responding and going out there and competing every week. 397 00:16:41,948 --> 00:16:43,788 Speaker 9: But it's going to be a tough test to come 398 00:16:43,828 --> 00:16:44,228 Speaker 9: this week. 399 00:16:44,548 --> 00:16:47,628 Speaker 5: There's always a weird Raiders Chiefs game every season for 400 00:16:47,708 --> 00:16:50,348 Speaker 5: Kansas City. Last year was on Christmas Day on national 401 00:16:50,348 --> 00:16:52,188 Speaker 5: television with Taylor Swift in the crowd. 402 00:16:52,228 --> 00:16:53,548 Speaker 4: This one it's in Vegas. 403 00:16:53,628 --> 00:16:55,868 Speaker 5: Everyone's crowning the chief because they got Hopkins. 404 00:16:55,948 --> 00:16:58,028 Speaker 4: Do they take the foot off the pedal? I think that's. 405 00:16:57,868 --> 00:17:00,868 Speaker 5: Andy Reid's message all week, like we know this team 406 00:17:00,908 --> 00:17:03,028 Speaker 5: always shows up and plays against us hard. 407 00:17:03,468 --> 00:17:04,948 Speaker 4: Do not let them get a lead early. 408 00:17:05,188 --> 00:17:07,068 Speaker 5: I gotta think the Chiefs take care of business. There's 409 00:17:07,108 --> 00:17:09,788 Speaker 5: just not enough offensive firepower in Vegas right now. 410 00:17:09,828 --> 00:17:11,668 Speaker 3: And as you think the Chiefs welcoming d hop this 411 00:17:11,708 --> 00:17:14,908 Speaker 3: will be the Raiders first game without DeVante Adams. Moving on, 412 00:17:14,988 --> 00:17:17,988 Speaker 3: we have an AFC North matchup between the Ravens and 413 00:17:18,028 --> 00:17:18,708 Speaker 3: the Browns. 414 00:17:19,028 --> 00:17:21,708 Speaker 6: Mantai. Can the Ravens make this six wins in a row? 415 00:17:21,748 --> 00:17:23,748 Speaker 9: I think it's going to be six wins wins in 416 00:17:23,788 --> 00:17:26,988 Speaker 9: a row, especially against a Cleveland brown team that just 417 00:17:27,068 --> 00:17:27,948 Speaker 9: lost on Martin Cooper. 418 00:17:27,988 --> 00:17:29,668 Speaker 7: They traded him to the Bills. 419 00:17:29,428 --> 00:17:31,348 Speaker 9: And they have Jamis Wiston now, so James, I'm a 420 00:17:31,348 --> 00:17:33,788 Speaker 9: big fan of Jamis. Jamis says, do this, bro, Let's 421 00:17:33,788 --> 00:17:35,948 Speaker 9: do this. Get that pre game speech, Let's get it 422 00:17:35,988 --> 00:17:38,068 Speaker 9: down then and let's go. I know Nick Chubb is 423 00:17:38,068 --> 00:17:39,828 Speaker 9: back to miss he was hype about that. So I'm 424 00:17:39,988 --> 00:17:42,828 Speaker 9: I'm really excited to see what this Browns team looks 425 00:17:42,868 --> 00:17:44,828 Speaker 9: like going into this week. It's a whole new front. 426 00:17:44,828 --> 00:17:47,628 Speaker 9: It's a whole new quarterback, whole new system. Hopefully it's 427 00:17:47,628 --> 00:17:50,148 Speaker 9: a whole new field. But with the Baltimore Ravens coming 428 00:17:50,148 --> 00:17:51,508 Speaker 9: into the town, it's gonna be difficult. 429 00:17:51,708 --> 00:17:53,628 Speaker 4: Yeah. Look, it's a short week for the Ravens. 430 00:17:53,668 --> 00:17:56,548 Speaker 5: They played Monday night and although they did put up 431 00:17:56,548 --> 00:17:58,428 Speaker 5: a lot of points, they gave up a ton of 432 00:17:58,468 --> 00:18:01,348 Speaker 5: points in yards to Baker Mayfield, and Baker Mayfield went 433 00:18:01,388 --> 00:18:03,788 Speaker 5: up and down the field. I think Jamis gives the 434 00:18:03,788 --> 00:18:05,588 Speaker 5: Browns a little bit of a lift here. I think 435 00:18:05,588 --> 00:18:07,068 Speaker 5: this game is going to be a lot closer than 436 00:18:07,068 --> 00:18:08,068 Speaker 5: everyone anticipates. 437 00:18:08,188 --> 00:18:09,548 Speaker 4: And I do think Nick Chubb. 438 00:18:09,308 --> 00:18:10,988 Speaker 5: In his second game, is any get his legs going. 439 00:18:11,148 --> 00:18:13,028 Speaker 5: I don't see this as a runaway win for the Ravens, 440 00:18:13,188 --> 00:18:15,348 Speaker 5: but I do think they'll get the best of the Browns. 441 00:18:15,148 --> 00:18:17,108 Speaker 10: And I agree. I think you're right. I think this 442 00:18:17,188 --> 00:18:19,548 Speaker 10: games could be pretty close. The Browns defense, they know 443 00:18:19,628 --> 00:18:21,948 Speaker 10: the Ravens pretty well, so look out for that. 444 00:18:22,308 --> 00:18:25,148 Speaker 6: Good way to get the comment in there. Yes, all right? 445 00:18:25,148 --> 00:18:27,668 Speaker 3: Next up Jalen Hurts and the Eagles heading the Cincinnati 446 00:18:27,708 --> 00:18:29,348 Speaker 3: taking on Joe Burrow and the Bengals. 447 00:18:29,628 --> 00:18:31,628 Speaker 6: Peter, what is catching your eye here? 448 00:18:32,108 --> 00:18:32,308 Speaker 4: Yeah? 449 00:18:32,348 --> 00:18:34,708 Speaker 5: The Eagles defense is a live Vic Fangio came in 450 00:18:34,748 --> 00:18:36,428 Speaker 5: and a lot of people were rolling their eyes the 451 00:18:36,428 --> 00:18:39,148 Speaker 5: first few weeks saying nothing's changed, same thing. Last week 452 00:18:39,188 --> 00:18:41,988 Speaker 5: they were absolutely dominant on Daniel Jones, and the week 453 00:18:42,068 --> 00:18:44,548 Speaker 5: before that they were in the backfield the entire game 454 00:18:44,708 --> 00:18:45,508 Speaker 5: when they won that game. 455 00:18:45,548 --> 00:18:46,508 Speaker 4: So they won two in a row. 456 00:18:46,548 --> 00:18:48,508 Speaker 5: Now Eagles defense is finally live and. 457 00:18:48,468 --> 00:18:49,868 Speaker 4: I love their their backfield. 458 00:18:49,868 --> 00:18:53,748 Speaker 5: Two rookies Quinion Mitchell and Cooper Dejeene. The two of 459 00:18:53,748 --> 00:18:55,668 Speaker 5: them are playing excellent. I think the Eagles get the 460 00:18:55,668 --> 00:18:58,148 Speaker 5: best of the Bengals on Sunday. Oh okay, all right, 461 00:18:58,228 --> 00:19:00,348 Speaker 5: well I see it maybe going the other way. I think, 462 00:19:00,428 --> 00:19:02,388 Speaker 5: you know, this is a must win for both teams. 463 00:19:02,428 --> 00:19:03,548 Speaker 5: I think both of them need this. 464 00:19:03,628 --> 00:19:06,668 Speaker 10: But I do like the combination of Jamar Chase and 465 00:19:06,948 --> 00:19:09,548 Speaker 10: Burrow on this one. The Eagles may be a little 466 00:19:09,548 --> 00:19:12,028 Speaker 10: too reliant on the big splash plays, but yeah, I'm 467 00:19:12,028 --> 00:19:13,628 Speaker 10: gonna probably say Bengals on this one. 468 00:19:13,748 --> 00:19:14,748 Speaker 7: Yeah, I like the Bengals. 469 00:19:14,748 --> 00:19:17,148 Speaker 9: If I'm Cincinnati, I'm putting on the first half of 470 00:19:17,188 --> 00:19:20,188 Speaker 9: last night's game and watching word justin. Jefferson was catching 471 00:19:20,188 --> 00:19:22,908 Speaker 9: all of his passes that ten to fifteen yard range 472 00:19:23,028 --> 00:19:24,988 Speaker 9: from the line of scrimmage. That's the weakness of a 473 00:19:25,068 --> 00:19:29,308 Speaker 9: quarters defense. Vic Fangio loves quarters defense. Hit Jamar Chase 474 00:19:29,348 --> 00:19:31,828 Speaker 9: and T Higgins in that window, you'll be fine. 475 00:19:31,908 --> 00:19:34,348 Speaker 3: And this is Jalen Hurt's first time playing against Joe 476 00:19:34,388 --> 00:19:35,148 Speaker 3: Burrow and the Bengals. 477 00:19:35,148 --> 00:19:36,668 Speaker 6: That's a really fun matchup. 478 00:19:36,308 --> 00:19:36,868 Speaker 2: Of those two. 479 00:19:37,228 --> 00:19:39,588 Speaker 3: The Cardinals, now they're facing the Dolphins, will be the 480 00:19:39,588 --> 00:19:42,548 Speaker 3: return of two of more than likely Acara. Obviously, we're 481 00:19:42,548 --> 00:19:44,348 Speaker 3: going to watch the quarterback in this one, but anything 482 00:19:44,348 --> 00:19:45,108 Speaker 3: else catching your. 483 00:19:44,988 --> 00:19:48,588 Speaker 10: Eye, well, I mean, like the Tool one is the one. 484 00:19:48,668 --> 00:19:50,908 Speaker 10: I think everybody's paying attention. I think it's going to 485 00:19:50,988 --> 00:19:53,348 Speaker 10: be a high flying, high scoring game. I mean, I 486 00:19:53,348 --> 00:19:54,908 Speaker 10: think we're going to see a lot of points going 487 00:19:54,908 --> 00:19:56,548 Speaker 10: out there. I think especially too, I think we're going 488 00:19:56,588 --> 00:19:59,508 Speaker 10: to see the offense too. For the Miami Dolphins, wake up. 489 00:19:59,668 --> 00:20:01,908 Speaker 10: We haven't seen a lot of Tyreek making those big 490 00:20:01,948 --> 00:20:04,868 Speaker 10: splash plays, those fask routes that he used to But 491 00:20:04,948 --> 00:20:06,828 Speaker 10: now you get two, I think it comes live. They've 492 00:20:06,828 --> 00:20:09,188 Speaker 10: had a circle of quarterbacks to his back. 493 00:20:09,388 --> 00:20:11,228 Speaker 9: I said yesterday what I was going to do. I 494 00:20:11,308 --> 00:20:14,788 Speaker 9: got no expectations. I'm just going to enjoy too. I 495 00:20:14,828 --> 00:20:17,668 Speaker 9: will say, I want to see the Marvin Harrison junior 496 00:20:17,708 --> 00:20:20,188 Speaker 9: connection with Kyler Murray and it start to flourish. It's 497 00:20:20,228 --> 00:20:22,108 Speaker 9: been a little slow late. I want to see that 498 00:20:22,228 --> 00:20:22,548 Speaker 9: kick in. 499 00:20:23,028 --> 00:20:24,428 Speaker 4: I don't know if I can enjoy it. I'll be 500 00:20:24,428 --> 00:20:26,268 Speaker 4: completely honest. I'm gonna be kind of white knuckling it 501 00:20:26,268 --> 00:20:26,668 Speaker 4: with Tua. 502 00:20:26,748 --> 00:20:29,308 Speaker 5: But I think that's part of what the story is, 503 00:20:29,548 --> 00:20:33,068 Speaker 5: that's he's gotten medically cleared. He wants to play. Let 504 00:20:33,148 --> 00:20:35,668 Speaker 5: the man pursue his dreams to be an NFL quarterback. 505 00:20:35,868 --> 00:20:38,108 Speaker 5: And if you're a Dolphins fans, you saw why they 506 00:20:38,108 --> 00:20:40,388 Speaker 5: paid him the money. Look how bad the team looked 507 00:20:40,428 --> 00:20:43,308 Speaker 5: without him on offense. I think the Dolphins come out hot, 508 00:20:43,348 --> 00:20:45,988 Speaker 5: and I think it's like September and October and November 509 00:20:46,028 --> 00:20:47,948 Speaker 5: of every other year where Tua and Tyreke they'll put 510 00:20:47,988 --> 00:20:48,428 Speaker 5: up points. 511 00:20:48,628 --> 00:20:50,788 Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, let's go move ahead and talk about the 512 00:20:50,868 --> 00:20:53,428 Speaker 3: NFC West. Yeah, my goodness, Josh Allen, the bill is 513 00:20:53,428 --> 00:20:54,988 Speaker 3: taking on the Seahawks. 514 00:20:55,348 --> 00:20:56,668 Speaker 6: Man, Tay, where do you want to take us in 515 00:20:56,708 --> 00:20:57,268 Speaker 6: this matchup? 516 00:20:57,828 --> 00:21:00,788 Speaker 9: I don't know how long the Seattle Seahawks can keep 517 00:21:01,068 --> 00:21:04,628 Speaker 9: up with this shotgun heavy offensive approach to the game. 518 00:21:05,428 --> 00:21:08,348 Speaker 9: It's a game that really restricts you. I know, DK 519 00:21:08,428 --> 00:21:11,268 Speaker 9: Metcalf is questionable, So who did they turn to watch 520 00:21:11,308 --> 00:21:11,548 Speaker 9: out for? 521 00:21:11,628 --> 00:21:11,948 Speaker 7: Bobo? 522 00:21:12,068 --> 00:21:13,988 Speaker 9: I like him as a receiver to come in there 523 00:21:14,028 --> 00:21:16,228 Speaker 9: and fill in those shoes. But my favorite, one of 524 00:21:16,228 --> 00:21:18,708 Speaker 9: my favorite players in NFL right now is Keon Coleman. 525 00:21:18,748 --> 00:21:20,988 Speaker 9: So I like the way he plays and I'm hoping 526 00:21:21,068 --> 00:21:22,948 Speaker 9: for a successful Sunday for him this week. 527 00:21:23,028 --> 00:21:25,108 Speaker 5: I gave Keon Coleman my Rookie of the Week award 528 00:21:25,268 --> 00:21:27,748 Speaker 5: on Wednesday. Man ti one hundred and twenty five yards. 529 00:21:27,748 --> 00:21:29,828 Speaker 5: He had more receiving yards than any other receiver in 530 00:21:29,908 --> 00:21:31,308 Speaker 5: all of football last week. 531 00:21:31,348 --> 00:21:33,148 Speaker 4: And yet I'm looking at Seattle coming. 532 00:21:32,988 --> 00:21:34,828 Speaker 5: Off that win in Atlanta where they won thirty four 533 00:21:34,828 --> 00:21:38,228 Speaker 5: to fourteen, feel themselves a little bit national television. Brady 534 00:21:38,228 --> 00:21:40,748 Speaker 5: on the call, I think Gino Smith puts up a 535 00:21:40,748 --> 00:21:41,588 Speaker 5: big game as well. 536 00:21:41,828 --> 00:21:44,228 Speaker 10: Yeah, two the best passers probably in the game right now. 537 00:21:44,268 --> 00:21:46,308 Speaker 10: I mean they're playing lights out. I know that the 538 00:21:46,468 --> 00:21:48,508 Speaker 10: Seattle Seahawks they want to stay in front. I mean, 539 00:21:48,588 --> 00:21:51,148 Speaker 10: in the NFC West, it is pretty loaded. You've got 540 00:21:51,148 --> 00:21:53,188 Speaker 10: the Rams coming up right behind them. They want to 541 00:21:53,188 --> 00:21:54,268 Speaker 10: stay up in front of the. 542 00:21:54,188 --> 00:21:54,748 Speaker 12: Forty nine ers. 543 00:21:54,828 --> 00:21:56,988 Speaker 3: Josh Allen the taking very good care of the ball 544 00:21:57,068 --> 00:21:58,468 Speaker 3: so far this season, going to see if he can 545 00:21:58,508 --> 00:22:01,748 Speaker 3: keep that streak going. Now we look to Sunday night, 546 00:22:01,828 --> 00:22:04,748 Speaker 3: the Cowboys entering a bye week forty nine or entering 547 00:22:04,788 --> 00:22:06,988 Speaker 3: from a bye week forty nine ers kind of limping 548 00:22:07,068 --> 00:22:10,668 Speaker 3: in here. This is a marquee matchup of the weekend here, Peter. 549 00:22:11,308 --> 00:22:17,588 Speaker 5: Both teams come in hurting egos, Pride. Injuries everywhere all 550 00:22:17,628 --> 00:22:19,748 Speaker 5: over the field for both squads. I look at that 551 00:22:19,828 --> 00:22:22,108 Speaker 5: forty nine Ers team and how things went down last 552 00:22:22,108 --> 00:22:25,228 Speaker 5: week against the Chiefs and national television, you gotta think 553 00:22:25,308 --> 00:22:27,188 Speaker 5: Debo is hopefully going to be back on the field. 554 00:22:27,188 --> 00:22:29,348 Speaker 5: And Ricky Piersall is a name that I would watch. 555 00:22:29,388 --> 00:22:32,068 Speaker 5: Didn't do much against the Chiefs last week. Obviously, we 556 00:22:32,108 --> 00:22:34,908 Speaker 5: know his story coming back from being shot in the summer, 557 00:22:35,188 --> 00:22:37,148 Speaker 5: and it was on the field last week. I think 558 00:22:37,148 --> 00:22:39,708 Speaker 5: he's going to play a big role in this big 559 00:22:39,748 --> 00:22:40,668 Speaker 5: game in Santa Clair. 560 00:22:41,028 --> 00:22:44,588 Speaker 10: Yeah, first off, piers Like, he's the dude rocks man. 561 00:22:44,748 --> 00:22:47,588 Speaker 10: I love that story, that whole story about him making 562 00:22:47,588 --> 00:22:49,548 Speaker 10: this comeback in such a short time.
