I 33 00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,240 Speaker 1: haven't been't play against Philly, but I played against Nick 34 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,919 Speaker 1: Foles before. I played against this old line at that 35 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:31,680 Speaker 1: faith that um that Minnesota is about the face, and 36 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 1: I played with Lagary blunt um, so I know a 37 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 1: little bit about played against Alshon Jeffrey, I know a 38 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:40,920 Speaker 1: little bit about the combination he has um. Nick Foles 39 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 1: is very efficient and he's not gonna lose the game 40 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 1: for you. That's why he's in there. Yes, that's what 41 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:48,440 Speaker 1: he did that year. He said all those records for 42 00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 1: efficiency and quarterback rating and all that because he's not 43 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:53,480 Speaker 1: gonna lose the game for you. He's gonna throw to 44 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 1: who he's supposed to throw too, and he's gonna get 45 00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 1: it there and that's it. He's gonna take no chances. 46 00:02:57,960 --> 00:02:59,680 Speaker 1: He gonna do all his other stuff. He's gonna protect 47 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,360 Speaker 1: the ball off That's just who he is. If he 48 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,680 Speaker 1: plays outside of that, they have no shot. Just be honest. 49 00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,920 Speaker 1: He has to play like he plays. He doesn't have 50 00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 1: to do anything spectacular, but he has to go out 51 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,840 Speaker 1: there protect the ball, not lose the game. That's just 52 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:18,920 Speaker 1: who Nick Foles is. Um Lagary Blunt is a gamer. 53 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,040 Speaker 1: I don't care if people say, oh, he's just landing 54 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 1: on championship team. This guy always manages to have some 55 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,960 Speaker 1: type of splash play leading up to his team win 56 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,640 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl or something. Whether he's scoring a touchdown 57 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,840 Speaker 1: with a run, uh, he's getting a big first down 58 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 1: whatever it may be. People forgetting he's a guy who 59 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 1: scored the first touchdown in the game last week. You 60 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. And his very first touch was 61 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 1: a phone ball. When he came back and scored a touchdown. 62 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 1: They have a great combination of speed and power over 63 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:59,840 Speaker 1: there with j and Lagary Blunt. Um I played against said, 64 00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 1: oh line, they've improved drastically. You know, the right side 65 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:07,440 Speaker 1: of the old line is the strength of the old line. 66 00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 1: So they want to get some movement. They probably donna 67 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,760 Speaker 1: go to the right. Just that's my scouting reports. I 68 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 1: want to get movements, They're probably gonna go to the right. 69 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:22,240 Speaker 1: This is the end. That's dope. That's dope, and what 70 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:29,320 Speaker 1: else you got? Um? The defense very underrated. Philly defense 71 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 1: is very underrated. They rotate so many D linemen. They 72 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,600 Speaker 1: rotate I think you know, me and Fletcher Cox are 73 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,080 Speaker 1: really good friends, and not to give anything away, but 74 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 1: this is just obvious. They rotate um nine to ten 75 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:45,000 Speaker 1: defensive linement. When you can rotate that many people and 76 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:49,479 Speaker 1: all of them can play, get in trouble because they're 77 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:54,719 Speaker 1: never the D lineman. We're very physical, athletic creatures. And 78 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:58,120 Speaker 1: if you can get so many to where the offensive 79 00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:01,279 Speaker 1: line they wanted to, only groups on the field that 80 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:05,640 Speaker 1: don't rotate. So now You've got all these dominant, extremely powerful, 81 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,479 Speaker 1: fast humans running at you, and then you got a 82 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:10,680 Speaker 1: new group of them, and then the other group comes back, 83 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:12,320 Speaker 1: and then you got another group of them, and this 84 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:15,160 Speaker 1: is happening all games. It's hard to deal with, man, 85 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,159 Speaker 1: it's hard to deal with it. Just overall as a whole, 86 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,799 Speaker 1: that defense is very solid. I don't think people realize, 87 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,520 Speaker 1: you know, they're like number three or something like that, 88 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 1: something close to that and overall defense, so they have 89 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,919 Speaker 1: a really good defense. So that's Philly. Okay. You have 90 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:36,680 Speaker 1: Minnesota who are played against this year. Minnesota surprise, they 91 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 1: had just come off a loss to UM Pittsburgh. You know, 92 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:45,360 Speaker 1: they dominated UM the Saints and weak one. And then 93 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,280 Speaker 1: Sam Bradford gets heard case Keendom comes in and they 94 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:52,159 Speaker 1: get destroyed by Pittsburgh and we're like, well that's Pittsburgh. 95 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:56,159 Speaker 1: You know, we don't know what type of team Minesota is. 96 00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 1: And then we go up there and they dog us out. 97 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 1: We didn't know what type of receivers they had, that 98 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 1: these guys are gonna end up being Pro Bowlers and 99 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 1: making miracle catches and all of these different things. Man 100 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,560 Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook was in the lineup then and he man, 101 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 1: he's gonna he is. The NFL didn't get a good 102 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:17,520 Speaker 1: look at this guy. But this guy is going to 103 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:22,560 Speaker 1: chairorize defenses for years to come. He can get Yeah, 104 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:24,320 Speaker 1: I'm hoping he can get back to form when he 105 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 1: gets back healthy. Man, that's crazy. That was like so 106 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:33,000 Speaker 1: long ago, Dalvin and and it's it's like totally forgotten thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely, 107 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:35,240 Speaker 1: And I think the NFL is gonna forget about him. 108 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:37,159 Speaker 1: But if he comes if he comes back healthy and 109 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:40,479 Speaker 1: gets back to form, man and man, look out. But 110 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 1: case Keenum, Case, I have never in my NFL career 111 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 1: beat and taste Tenham. That's crazy. That not one. So 112 00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:57,120 Speaker 1: this guy, We're going up there knowing this. We cannot 113 00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,359 Speaker 1: lose with this guy again. This guy, this I don't know. 114 00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 1: He's just a Buck killer. He just comes in, he 115 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,559 Speaker 1: won't play, he'll get in the lineup. He just destroy 116 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,440 Speaker 1: the Bucks. And he did it again. And it was 117 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 1: a It was a mix of us not being able 118 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:13,400 Speaker 1: to stop to run and big plays down the field. 119 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 1: They have a dynamic offense. Yeah, I think it's a 120 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 1: little underrated. And Case Keenum is another one of those 121 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:22,080 Speaker 1: nick foles. He's gonna make all the throws. But he's 122 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 1: not gonna lose the game for you. It's gonna be 123 00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 1: rare that you either get sacked or throw the ball away. 124 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 1: He's just a very smart quarterback. He has all these 125 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:33,560 Speaker 1: n C Double A records, and people forget about this. 126 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 1: Dude is like the leading pastor number one or number 127 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 1: two in NC Double A history. People are forgetting that 128 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,680 Speaker 1: this is the same player. You know that that So 129 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:46,600 Speaker 1: he could throw the ball, he could spend it um 130 00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:49,520 Speaker 1: and then that defense. They had a number two defense, 131 00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:54,360 Speaker 1: number yeah, number one, another two defense in the NFL. Yeah, 132 00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 1: up front, got a couple of Pro bowlers up front. 133 00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:00,360 Speaker 1: Everson Griffin is a monster lin ball Joe. It was 134 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:03,680 Speaker 1: a monster in the middle. You got Xavier Roles on 135 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 1: the edge. We can cover anybody one on one all game. 136 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:11,880 Speaker 1: You just you know, um uh. Patrick Peterson says something 137 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,640 Speaker 1: last week that said the Rose close. I like it. 138 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:19,280 Speaker 1: You know that is just he's just that guy. So 139 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,520 Speaker 1: all that being said, you got you gotta make a pick. 140 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:26,360 Speaker 1: As much as I love flesh and Cup and he's 141 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:31,280 Speaker 1: my guy, I just I see it's entirely too close 142 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 1: to having a home Super Bowl from Minnesota. I got 143 00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:39,240 Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings winning and playing in the Super Bowl, and 144 00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:44,160 Speaker 1: then Jacksonville and New England. Is there any chance, actually, yeah, 145 00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:46,839 Speaker 1: is there any chance that Blake bords will be in 146 00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:52,200 Speaker 1: the freaking Super Bowl? Listen, watch watched this? You have 147 00:08:53,080 --> 00:09:00,959 Speaker 1: the Championship Weekend, the Championship Weekend quarterback Nick Foles case 148 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:08,160 Speaker 1: keenom Blake Bordles and come Brady. Just listen to that lineup. Really, 149 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:12,200 Speaker 1: just like really listen to that lineup of the Championship 150 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:16,199 Speaker 1: Weekend quarterbacks. That is crazy. What does that mean? That 151 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,959 Speaker 1: show that goes to show that this is the National 152 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:25,400 Speaker 1: Football League, everybody is good and anything can happen. That's 153 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:30,760 Speaker 1: why they say any given Sunday, anything can happen. If 154 00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:34,040 Speaker 1: you out prepare this team and you will yourself to 155 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:36,760 Speaker 1: this win and this team makes too many mistakes, but 156 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:41,840 Speaker 1: you don't make any anything can happen. The Jacksonville Jaguars, man, 157 00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:45,600 Speaker 1: the Jacksonville jackson This is incredible. They are in the 158 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:49,280 Speaker 1: HC Championship about to take on the defending gen How 159 00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:52,960 Speaker 1: does that say? Yes, at the beginning of the season, 160 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:57,320 Speaker 1: if somebody told you that the Jacksonville Jaguars We're going 161 00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,920 Speaker 1: to be an NFC Championship. You would have probably post 162 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:05,920 Speaker 1: one of them long extended Instagram rant about whoever told 163 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:09,520 Speaker 1: you that. Let's be honest, if somebody told you that, 164 00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:12,360 Speaker 1: that's probably what would have happened. Absolutely and I would 165 00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:15,000 Speaker 1: have been sitting there clicking the like buttons, like yeah 166 00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:19,520 Speaker 1: the sooner. This dude is absolutely right whatever he's saying. Man, 167 00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:23,160 Speaker 1: let me tell you something about this Jacksonville team. Because 168 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:25,640 Speaker 1: the champs are who they are, I don't even have 169 00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:29,080 Speaker 1: to speak on them. The Tom Brady Bill Belichick combination 170 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:33,199 Speaker 1: is just one that is just we've never seen anything 171 00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:37,440 Speaker 1: like it in the history of this game. You got, um, 172 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:40,080 Speaker 1: anybody can be on the team, anybody. They just taking 173 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:43,440 Speaker 1: coordinators here, you beat the coordinators. Here, go ahead, you 174 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:46,200 Speaker 1: all right, you coach defense, just go ahead here. You 175 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:49,200 Speaker 1: coached them. You coached them as long. And and that's 176 00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:52,160 Speaker 1: not to take away anything that these coaches have done, 177 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:55,719 Speaker 1: because these coaches are highly intelligent. But everything is overlooked 178 00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:59,280 Speaker 1: by Bill Belichick. And as long as Tom Brady's at quarterback, 179 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:04,800 Speaker 1: every anything's okay. So the Belichick Brady combination is just 180 00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:07,559 Speaker 1: second to none. Now, let me talk about this Jaguar 181 00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:10,600 Speaker 1: I played against these guys in training camp. Let just 182 00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:12,640 Speaker 1: be honest. This is my honest and king, and I'm 183 00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:14,560 Speaker 1: gonna say it, and I don't care how people feel 184 00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:17,880 Speaker 1: about it. I've went against the Jacksonville Jaguars and training 185 00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:21,640 Speaker 1: camp and I was thinking to myself, these guys are terrible. 186 00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:25,480 Speaker 1: When we were practicing against them, I was like, listen, 187 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:30,040 Speaker 1: this is the NFL and these guys are NFL caliber players. 188 00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:33,160 Speaker 1: They're good. But when we were going against him as 189 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:36,319 Speaker 1: a whole in practice and if they couldn't really get 190 00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:39,679 Speaker 1: upset with me for my diet, um my diagnosis right 191 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:42,520 Speaker 1: now and what I'm saying because they've seen it. They 192 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:45,720 Speaker 1: practice and they watched the same thing my watch those 193 00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:49,760 Speaker 1: guys and it maybe it has just been training kids, tired, 194 00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:53,199 Speaker 1: whatever it was. But I walked away thinking these guys 195 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:56,680 Speaker 1: are terrible. I would have never said that out in 196 00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:59,240 Speaker 1: the public because I'm not in the disrespect to anybody. 197 00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:01,839 Speaker 1: These guys in the FC Championship right now, and I'm 198 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,280 Speaker 1: sitting at home talking about them. So if they want 199 00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:07,600 Speaker 1: to combat anything I'm saying, just say, look, you're watching 200 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:11,840 Speaker 1: us play right now, I'll say it. They're playing. I'm watching, 201 00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,600 Speaker 1: but I'm going off what I thought during training camp. 202 00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:18,760 Speaker 1: I said to myself, these guys are terrible. But now 203 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:22,400 Speaker 1: you look at them, they are a completely different team 204 00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:28,360 Speaker 1: than what I've seen. There's no way that, Um, you 205 00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:31,760 Speaker 1: have Saxonville, right, that's what they're calling Jacksonville's D line 206 00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:35,400 Speaker 1: or the defense. There's many facts as they got the 207 00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 1: number one team in the league for getting to the 208 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,400 Speaker 1: quarterback with the Pittsburgh Steelers. You mean to tell me 209 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:43,640 Speaker 1: this team is the number one team in the NFL 210 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,880 Speaker 1: for getting to the quarterback and they don't get close 211 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 1: to the Blake borders? Is that what we're saying right now? 212 00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:52,880 Speaker 1: That's what we saw. It's not what we're saying. The 213 00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:56,320 Speaker 1: proof is in the pudding, That's that's what That's what 214 00:12:56,360 --> 00:13:00,160 Speaker 1: I'm saying. This is a completely different team man, when 215 00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,240 Speaker 1: we went when we were up there, I will say this, 216 00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:06,760 Speaker 1: Um Leonard for that was not practicing. He did not 217 00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:10,920 Speaker 1: playing the game. Um Jalen Ramsey was not practicing. I 218 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:14,040 Speaker 1: don't think a J Boyer was practicing. I think they 219 00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:16,959 Speaker 1: had a lot of guys that set out that really 220 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:20,719 Speaker 1: didn't get to practice. However, I'm not on offense, so 221 00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:23,160 Speaker 1: I didn't get even wouldn't even win against Jalen Rampy 222 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:26,240 Speaker 1: and those guys. But I did go against offense and 223 00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:29,120 Speaker 1: they were not good. Man. I'm just being honest. They 224 00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:33,640 Speaker 1: were not. Now what they're doing now is incredible, But 225 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:38,360 Speaker 1: that goes to show that it's training camp. When you're 226 00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:41,760 Speaker 1: in training camp, you try stuff, you do different things, 227 00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:45,240 Speaker 1: you work at whatever it takes to get better to 228 00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:47,800 Speaker 1: be ready for the season. So whatever they were working 229 00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:49,520 Speaker 1: on at the time, they knew they had a lot 230 00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:52,439 Speaker 1: of kinks they need to work out. But I'm gonna 231 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,080 Speaker 1: give you this X factor and then I'm gonna make 232 00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:59,959 Speaker 1: my pick if the Jacksonville Jaguars win this thing. There's 233 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:05,240 Speaker 1: one X factor that people do not mentioned it. There's 234 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:08,520 Speaker 1: one thing that people they talk about. Jalen Ramsey is 235 00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:12,000 Speaker 1: the best corner in the league. Okay, let's say he is. 236 00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:14,920 Speaker 1: I believe he is. He had in the past few years, 237 00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:17,679 Speaker 1: Dalen Ramsey has been locked down. Okay, he's the best 238 00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:22,080 Speaker 1: corner in football. You have um Colias Campbell, who's most 239 00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:23,680 Speaker 1: likely gonna win dec as a Player of the Year 240 00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:26,560 Speaker 1: this year. A great pickup and off brought in all 241 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:29,320 Speaker 1: these d linemens. They got all these different things, Leonard 242 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:31,800 Speaker 1: for Nette as a man, amost boys and running back. 243 00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:36,240 Speaker 1: The X factor that most people are not looking at, 244 00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:40,960 Speaker 1: and I just mentioned the Brady Belichick combinations, the X 245 00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:43,600 Speaker 1: factors that people are not thinking about. It's Tom Coffin. 246 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:49,440 Speaker 1: Brady Belichick have somehow found found a way to win 247 00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:53,040 Speaker 1: all of these games. In the end, they cannot be 248 00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:55,480 Speaker 1: out coached. I don't care whether you say it was 249 00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:59,280 Speaker 1: a miracle throw, miracle catch, whatever may happen. There's only 250 00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:03,880 Speaker 1: one coach who has taken Belicheck out, and that is 251 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:10,840 Speaker 1: Tom Cofflerce. And think about who is the head over 252 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:14,400 Speaker 1: all football operations, who's brought in all these players, who 253 00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:17,720 Speaker 1: chased the playbooks, who brought in the head coach who's 254 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:22,320 Speaker 1: done all these different things. It's Tom Coffler. And now 255 00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,800 Speaker 1: he's taking all his knowledge and everything that he's done, 256 00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:31,320 Speaker 1: and they're going up to New England and we have 257 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:35,760 Speaker 1: to play a game. So now what happens my ultimate 258 00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:39,880 Speaker 1: pick and I have to all of that that's been 259 00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:44,120 Speaker 1: has been said, I have to say this. I do 260 00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:49,120 Speaker 1: not know how to pick against Tom Brady and Bill Belichick. 261 00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:53,360 Speaker 1: I can't do it. I won't do it. I refuse 262 00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:57,400 Speaker 1: to do it. They have won entirely too many games 263 00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:02,400 Speaker 1: against too much competition. It does not matter. Think about 264 00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:04,440 Speaker 1: who's in the end of the championship game right now 265 00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:07,240 Speaker 1: you have the jackson the Jaguars. Who's on the other side, 266 00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:11,360 Speaker 1: You got the Minnesota Vikings in the Philadelphia Eagles. Not 267 00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:15,560 Speaker 1: all of these different teams come up year after years. Well, 268 00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:18,200 Speaker 1: who's gonna be an NFC. Who's gonna be an NFC. 269 00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:21,120 Speaker 1: There's one team who's always in the mid for the 270 00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:24,600 Speaker 1: past ten years, and as the New England Patriots, I 271 00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:29,600 Speaker 1: cannot pick against New England Patriots. If the Jacksonville Jaguars 272 00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:32,200 Speaker 1: beat New England Patriots and go on to the Super Bowl, 273 00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:38,240 Speaker 1: it will be the biggest upset in NFL history. Yes, 274 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:44,280 Speaker 1: because it is the Jacksonville Jaguar and their history over 275 00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:47,200 Speaker 1: the past ten years. That's all it is. It's not 276 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:49,520 Speaker 1: that they can't beat them, it's just you're basing it 277 00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:53,680 Speaker 1: off the history. If we the Tama Bay Buccaneers were 278 00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:58,320 Speaker 1: to go to the NFC Championship and play against somebody. See, 279 00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:00,880 Speaker 1: here's the thing about the NFC. It's been up and down. 280 00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:03,080 Speaker 1: You never know who's gonna be up there, but you 281 00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:06,000 Speaker 1: always know the Patriots is gonna be there. But if 282 00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:09,399 Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay Buccaneers were to last year go to 283 00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:12,440 Speaker 1: a f C NFC championship and knock off the Green 284 00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:15,760 Speaker 1: Bay Packers, or go up to a game and knock 285 00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:19,720 Speaker 1: off the Dallas Cowboys, or whoever it may be, who's 286 00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:23,280 Speaker 1: ever been winning consistently over the past so many years 287 00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:26,200 Speaker 1: and it's always up there and competing, If the tam 288 00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:28,399 Speaker 1: Bay Buccaneers would go knocked him off, it would be 289 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:31,280 Speaker 1: an upset. Probably not the biggest of all time, but 290 00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:33,280 Speaker 1: it would be an upset. Let's just be honest. That's 291 00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:35,879 Speaker 1: how people would look at it. Absolutely. I mean, they 292 00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:38,560 Speaker 1: got voodoo working for them. They they've won super Bowls. 293 00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:42,600 Speaker 1: Last year was voodoo against Seattle was voodoo. Uh you 294 00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:45,919 Speaker 1: know like that, that's two times with the voodoo, you 295 00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:47,199 Speaker 1: know what I mean? Like that. I don't know how 296 00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:49,800 Speaker 1: they're doing it. I have no idea how to doing it, man. 297 00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:52,800 Speaker 1: I just know that if if the game is going 298 00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:54,800 Speaker 1: in the fourth court and the close, I'm not picking 299 00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:59,240 Speaker 1: against Patriots because somehow Tom Brady and Bill Belichick. Bill 300 00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:02,760 Speaker 1: Belichick as a juniors, I've had coaches that I've talked 301 00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:04,800 Speaker 1: to and players that have been up there, and they said, 302 00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:07,320 Speaker 1: this dude is a mastermind. They say the stuff he 303 00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:11,320 Speaker 1: comes up with they've never heard before in football. They 304 00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:14,160 Speaker 1: do not know how this guy creates it. And Tom 305 00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:17,159 Speaker 1: Brady is a wizard with the football. This guy was 306 00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:20,320 Speaker 1: falling last week. This guy was falling running away. We 307 00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:22,960 Speaker 1: know all know Tom Brady is not athletic. He was 308 00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:26,800 Speaker 1: running the opposite way, was falling on the ground and 309 00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,600 Speaker 1: control of his body and turn and throw the ball 310 00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:32,359 Speaker 1: the complete optice ode of the field and it was 311 00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:36,440 Speaker 1: gonna dime. Makes me sit incredible of the type of guy, 312 00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:43,919 Speaker 1: this guy, Jared gomp, what what do you make of 313 00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:47,240 Speaker 1: these four teams that are left? So we have play 314 00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:49,639 Speaker 1: three of them? Break it down, give me, give me 315 00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:52,919 Speaker 1: the inside scoop here. Now you're gonna probably play for 316 00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:55,879 Speaker 1: I'd say seventeen more years because Tom Brady said the 317 00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:57,840 Speaker 1: bart to forty. So now you like you could be 318 00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:02,080 Speaker 1: playing quarterback to forty. So barring any injury, we're essentially 319 00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:04,200 Speaker 1: playing quarterback to forty. So we're not we're not trying 320 00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:07,359 Speaker 1: to get in the analyst business. Told maybe later, Okay, 321 00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:09,720 Speaker 1: we're getting fucking Hall of fame. A couple of Super Bowls. 322 00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:13,400 Speaker 1: All that ship is happening. We know that's happen. Oh yeah, 323 00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:15,520 Speaker 1: And by the time you get in the hole in famous, 324 00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:20,359 Speaker 1: I'll have one at least one Fantasy football championship, at 325 00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:23,560 Speaker 1: least one. Okay, so break it down, you play. Give 326 00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:26,199 Speaker 1: me what do you know? Uh, well, I can just 327 00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:28,199 Speaker 1: speak on each team's defense. Give it to me. So 328 00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:30,120 Speaker 1: jackson all three of them have. So I didn't play. 329 00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:32,359 Speaker 1: The Patriots played Jacksonville, I played Eagles, and I played 330 00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:34,480 Speaker 1: the Vikings. Give me Jacksonville because they're the one thing. 331 00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:36,399 Speaker 1: Those are the top three defenses in the league. I 332 00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:41,720 Speaker 1: think it goes Minnesota, Jacksonville, Eagles and Eagles. Eagles might 333 00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:44,040 Speaker 1: be two and they're too. Eagles defenses unbelievable as well. 334 00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:48,679 Speaker 1: But um, Minnesota, we'll start the Missota. They run you 335 00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:51,560 Speaker 1: know what Mike Zimmer runs, which is, you know, some 336 00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:53,720 Speaker 1: confusing stuff. You know, it's a it's a little bit 337 00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:56,120 Speaker 1: of a mix up. Um. They got really good rushers 338 00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:59,280 Speaker 1: with Everson Griffin and Anthony barrs rushes at times as well. 339 00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:02,000 Speaker 1: And um, Eric Kendricks is really good. Aarrison Smith is 340 00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:04,640 Speaker 1: really good, and Today is really good Exavier. They're good 341 00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:07,560 Speaker 1: at every single position. There's no weakness on the defense. Jacksonville, 342 00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:11,159 Speaker 1: they run what Seattle has ran in the past that 343 00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:15,040 Speaker 1: you know, cover three stuff, and Um, Jalen Ramsey's really good. 344 00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:17,840 Speaker 1: A J. Bo is really good, Barry Church is really good. 345 00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:20,439 Speaker 1: Clars Campbell might win the Defensive Player of the Year 346 00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:25,080 Speaker 1: if Aaron Dolnod doesn't win it. Um, kids like fifty 347 00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:29,040 Speaker 1: now right, he's really good though. Yeah, he's great. Yeah, 348 00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:33,640 Speaker 1: but he's like something like that. He's a monster sick. Yeah, 349 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:37,520 Speaker 1: the best voice in sports, forget the NFL, the vals, like, 350 00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:40,159 Speaker 1: he's all of sports. Might be the best voice in 351 00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:42,879 Speaker 1: sports history. Yeah. No, he's he's funny. You gotta talk 352 00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:45,800 Speaker 1: to you. He's he's good, dude. But um, yeah, I 353 00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:49,919 Speaker 1: mean they're good a defensively Puzzlesny Miles Telvin. I mean 354 00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:52,280 Speaker 1: they're all really fast, really good. I think they're their 355 00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:56,480 Speaker 1: speed is is tremendous. Their speed, they're really really fast 356 00:20:56,520 --> 00:21:00,399 Speaker 1: on defense, and their pass rush is good. Um and 357 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:02,400 Speaker 1: Joe Ku and there. I mean, all of those guys 358 00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:05,000 Speaker 1: are really really good Jackson in the middle. Um, and 359 00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:07,119 Speaker 1: then the Eagles are really good as well. I mean 360 00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:08,440 Speaker 1: we played them at home. It was a it was 361 00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:09,760 Speaker 1: a dog fight. That was one of the you know, 362 00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:15,200 Speaker 1: a fun game and um thirty five, big fantasy game. 363 00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:18,240 Speaker 1: You know, it means nothing to you. You lost forty 364 00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:19,560 Speaker 1: three or three five. I know you're like, I don't 365 00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:22,320 Speaker 1: care about your fantasy. So what is their deal? What 366 00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:24,600 Speaker 1: is their deal? Like, I think it starts with their 367 00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:27,520 Speaker 1: pass rush up front. Their passwords is really good and um, 368 00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:29,400 Speaker 1: you know they guy a guy Fletcher Cox and and 369 00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:32,000 Speaker 1: Curry and Brandon Graham and all these guys that can 370 00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:35,639 Speaker 1: rush so well. And um, you know I saw you know, 371 00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:37,720 Speaker 1: somebody said today they come off the bus, you know, 372 00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:39,840 Speaker 1: pass rushing and that's what they did, really good at that. 373 00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:41,840 Speaker 1: And um on the back end, they're really good too. 374 00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:43,600 Speaker 1: You know, I think Malcolm Jenkins is one of the 375 00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:46,119 Speaker 1: top safeties in football. And uh, you know, they're good 376 00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:48,159 Speaker 1: across the board. And there's no there's no weakness on 377 00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:50,480 Speaker 1: any of these three defenses. Well, it's so funny because 378 00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:53,680 Speaker 1: when I'm asking you about these teams, like I literally 379 00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:56,080 Speaker 1: can tell like it's like you're talking to me here, 380 00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:59,240 Speaker 1: but also like there's quarterback more like you because when 381 00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:02,679 Speaker 1: you're playing these teams, it's in all these names and 382 00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:05,240 Speaker 1: you mean, it's like in your head, it's brained in 383 00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:07,040 Speaker 1: your head, right, Yeah, well I'm trying to I'm trying 384 00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:09,040 Speaker 1: to picture who's on their defense by like seeing it, 385 00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:11,919 Speaker 1: Like can you smell them? Like when I say Minnesota defense, 386 00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:14,119 Speaker 1: can you smell like tell, yeah you can? You know 387 00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:16,440 Speaker 1: the dome and you know that their their skull chant 388 00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:18,159 Speaker 1: in that place. Do you want to just be like, 389 00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:20,760 Speaker 1: funk your skull chant? I have nothing. I love Minnesota. 390 00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:27,840 Speaker 1: I worked in Minnesota, my kids mothers from Minnesota. Operready 391 00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:30,800 Speaker 1: enough with the skull. I think it's pretty cool. You 392 00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:32,879 Speaker 1: gotta sad because you don't want to. You don't want to. 393 00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:34,480 Speaker 1: I mean, but you know what, they can't be any 394 00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:36,480 Speaker 1: louder and more annoying. It's not like they're gonna like 395 00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:39,520 Speaker 1: I mean that Apex that they were at versus Saints, 396 00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:42,159 Speaker 1: that's a loud building. It's it's that that was the 397 00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:44,919 Speaker 1: lot of place I've played. But was it even louder 398 00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:47,840 Speaker 1: than Seattle could last year? Seattle? But that was sale 399 00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:52,960 Speaker 1: fans left this year. Break that down, speak on it. 400 00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:55,920 Speaker 1: That's trash talk right there, that's low key trash talk. No, man, 401 00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:59,159 Speaker 1: I'm being honest. It was it was there They are 402 00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:01,280 Speaker 1: another team that's you set them home so hard to 403 00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:03,440 Speaker 1: beat them. They're so so good, and they're so hard 404 00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:06,159 Speaker 1: to be especially defensively. They're just so good, and Russell 405 00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:09,720 Speaker 1: is so good. But we beat them. I think we 406 00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:13,040 Speaker 1: were up three something at half. You know a lot 407 00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:14,560 Speaker 1: of them left. I'm being honest that a lot of 408 00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:17,040 Speaker 1: them went home and and and we just it wasn't 409 00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:20,119 Speaker 1: that loud. After that, I got quiet. Yeah, but but 410 00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:21,600 Speaker 1: I played there last year and it was real loud. 411 00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:25,159 Speaker 1: Now they bring it um. All right. So you you 412 00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:27,800 Speaker 1: talked about these defense. There's four teams left. Are you 413 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:30,240 Speaker 1: allowed to say who you think will win? Sure? Okay, 414 00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:32,280 Speaker 1: so the four teams that are left, I'll tell you 415 00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:34,960 Speaker 1: what I'm rooting for. I don't know speak on it. Yeah, 416 00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:37,880 Speaker 1: well I'm so. I'm friends with Case from last year. 417 00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:40,439 Speaker 1: I'm rooting for Case. I'd love to see Case do it. 418 00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:44,199 Speaker 1: And I'm friends with Blake, so I'm rooting for Blake. Okay, 419 00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:48,240 Speaker 1: do you think I mean, obviously we're talking about the Patriots. 420 00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:51,520 Speaker 1: How big of an upset would it be to beat 421 00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:54,280 Speaker 1: the Patriots? At this point, they're rocking and rolling. They 422 00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:56,920 Speaker 1: make me sick. I have nothing but respect. Julian Edelman 423 00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:58,840 Speaker 1: was on this pocket. I told him to his face, 424 00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:02,640 Speaker 1: I said, I can't stand your team to his face, honest, 425 00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:06,159 Speaker 1: but I'm glad you're here. He knew, he knew I 426 00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:09,480 Speaker 1: told him. I thought, what's his name? Patricia, Ma Patricia 427 00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:12,280 Speaker 1: with his pencil and his hipster beard to make me 428 00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:16,080 Speaker 1: stick to my stomach. Still can respect you, no doubt, No, 429 00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:18,480 Speaker 1: I got all the respect for them. They're they're whatevery 430 00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:20,640 Speaker 1: team kind of strives to be. Is is what they've 431 00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,880 Speaker 1: the model they've put on for the last ten fifteen years. 432 00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:25,800 Speaker 1: I mean I think they've been in then FC Championship 433 00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:27,440 Speaker 1: like seven years, in rows, eight years and row or 434 00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:29,679 Speaker 1: something like that. We could keep tracking. Brady's been going 435 00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:31,960 Speaker 1: to the playoffs every year. I mean it's it's unbelievable. 436 00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:34,159 Speaker 1: And um, so they're what every team strives to be. 437 00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:36,080 Speaker 1: And yeah, if Jacksonville beat him, I mean you can 438 00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:38,000 Speaker 1: definitely see it happening. I mean it's not it's not 439 00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:40,399 Speaker 1: that big of a longshot, I don't think. But um, 440 00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:43,399 Speaker 1: you're rooting for case Case and Blake, Yeah, those are 441 00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:46,240 Speaker 1: two my buddies, and I'm root for him. Case Keenum, 442 00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:48,679 Speaker 1: I mean he's another one who was under siege. He 443 00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:53,080 Speaker 1: gets traded. That's your starter, your first season. Um, you 444 00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:56,760 Speaker 1: know he's he doesn't start the Bradford starting in Minnesota. 445 00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:00,840 Speaker 1: You know, like, what what do you make this like? 446 00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:03,119 Speaker 1: And Blake Ports he's another one. I'm like, he he 447 00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:06,720 Speaker 1: killed me a few times in my fantasy. Okay, you 448 00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:08,480 Speaker 1: could tell him if I met at my talm to 449 00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:10,400 Speaker 1: his face. I know. He's a fun loving Guy's great 450 00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:12,840 Speaker 1: guy as far as I know. Listen, he drives. He 451 00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:15,919 Speaker 1: drives people nuts. But they're there right now. Yeah, they 452 00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:18,080 Speaker 1: did it. I mean they're they're playing, they're still playing. 453 00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:20,760 Speaker 1: I think what Case has done is incredible. I think 454 00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:23,320 Speaker 1: you know, he's he's the type of guy who doesn't 455 00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:25,520 Speaker 1: let anybody tell him what's right and what's wrong, kind 456 00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:28,240 Speaker 1: of does his own thing. And um, things I learned 457 00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:29,879 Speaker 1: from him I still carry on with me and hopefully 458 00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:31,600 Speaker 1: will in my whole career, like you know, just how 459 00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:33,240 Speaker 1: to work and how to go about your daily life 460 00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:37,119 Speaker 1: and um, and he's just been a great story. I 461 00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:40,640 Speaker 1: think you know, nobody's nobody deserves it more than that guy. 462 00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:44,800 Speaker 1: All right, those are his predictions. Okay, those are who 463 00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:47,480 Speaker 1: are you rooting for? What are your predictions? See, I 464 00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:50,439 Speaker 1: don't know, I don't like. I mean, who knows, right, 465 00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:51,960 Speaker 1: But what do you think is going to happen in 466 00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:54,879 Speaker 1: these two games? It's the it's this is what, this 467 00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:57,520 Speaker 1: is what. This is the toughest question you're getting. So 468 00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:01,320 Speaker 1: I'm gonna play a middle man. Oh man. I think 469 00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:06,919 Speaker 1: in the Philadelphia will be tough to win, but I 470 00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:11,280 Speaker 1: but I wouldn't be surprised Minnesota did it. And the 471 00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:13,480 Speaker 1: same thing with Jacksonvill. I think in Foxborough will be 472 00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:15,600 Speaker 1: tough to win in that weather, but um, I wouldn't 473 00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:18,120 Speaker 1: be surprised if they if they did it. Okay, I'm 474 00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:21,119 Speaker 1: just gonna say anybody's feelings here. That's a middleman. That 475 00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:24,040 Speaker 1: is a middleman ship right there. Like you just played 476 00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:26,120 Speaker 1: the middle like I mean, that was straight up the middle, 477 00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:35,600 Speaker 1: stright up the middle of Shane Verene four teams. I 478 00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:38,359 Speaker 1: want your predictions, I want your analysis. We have the 479 00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:42,000 Speaker 1: New England Patriots. They don't need any goddamn introduction. There's 480 00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:45,280 Speaker 1: a New England Patriots. We know the whole deal. Gronk 481 00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:49,240 Speaker 1: this one. They're cooking on all cylinders. They're all healthy somehow, 482 00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:51,800 Speaker 1: some way, just when it counts their defense somehow, some 483 00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:56,119 Speaker 1: ways improving right now. The Jacksonville Jaguars, which whould the 484 00:26:56,160 --> 00:27:00,240 Speaker 1: thought this would happen exactly? That's that's scary though, So 485 00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:04,399 Speaker 1: give me, give me that game first. Um. The scary 486 00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:09,000 Speaker 1: thing about Jacksonville is they're young, they're extremely hungry. Uh, 487 00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:11,080 Speaker 1: they're out, they're out to approve a lot, and you 488 00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:15,080 Speaker 1: don't really know much about them that. Um, you've seen 489 00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:17,439 Speaker 1: Brady in the playoffs year. You've seen the Patriots in 490 00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:20,760 Speaker 1: the playoffs year after year after year, um after year, 491 00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:25,359 Speaker 1: Yeah after year after year. We haven't seen Jacksonville in 492 00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:28,880 Speaker 1: the playoffs. We haven't seen Jacksonville play in a game 493 00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:32,560 Speaker 1: of this magnitude and that that matters. That matters because 494 00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:36,080 Speaker 1: the games of this magnitude, every little mistake is that 495 00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:40,080 Speaker 1: is magnified is huge. Now because it's the AFC Championship game, 496 00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:42,520 Speaker 1: you like, there are no there's no room for error now. 497 00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:46,639 Speaker 1: So I think that, like the the young Jacksonville Jaguars 498 00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:48,399 Speaker 1: in this type of a stage is going to be 499 00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:50,960 Speaker 1: very interesting to see how how they respond to it. 500 00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:52,600 Speaker 1: You know, you know they're gonna come out of the 501 00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:55,919 Speaker 1: gates flying, but are that you know, are they going 502 00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:58,520 Speaker 1: to be thinking. You know, you gotta you gotta bring 503 00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:01,480 Speaker 1: your brain with you, especially playing in New England. They 504 00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:05,080 Speaker 1: play extremely well at home, very comfortable at home. They 505 00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:08,239 Speaker 1: don't make a lot of mistakes at home. Um, and 506 00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:10,720 Speaker 1: you you can't if you can't afford, you can't afford 507 00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:13,280 Speaker 1: to make mistakes. I know their defense did whatever they did. 508 00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:15,680 Speaker 1: They weren't very good defense this year in New England's 509 00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:18,199 Speaker 1: but it doesn't matter, and they've improved. I mean I 510 00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:22,399 Speaker 1: don't know statistics or analytics, but somebody gave me something 511 00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:26,040 Speaker 1: the other day, Like the last three games. It's you know, 512 00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:28,360 Speaker 1: they they've done this, They've done that. They didn't sit 513 00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:32,159 Speaker 1: like yeah, they tightened up and they got voodoo. I 514 00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:35,520 Speaker 1: say they got they know when to play, They know 515 00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:39,000 Speaker 1: when to play good football. Something happens, they get like sprinkle, 516 00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:40,959 Speaker 1: some kind of like you know, sauce. So if you 517 00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:45,360 Speaker 1: have to make a prediction Jacksonville versus Do eng the Patriots. 518 00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:49,720 Speaker 1: Leonard for Nett, I like him him. I think his 519 00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:54,120 Speaker 1: foot is a factor. Oh because he that injury he had. 520 00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:55,680 Speaker 1: I mean he's always had foot issues. I don't know 521 00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:58,360 Speaker 1: if it was a left or right, but he was 522 00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:00,520 Speaker 1: rock and roll in the first half and then he 523 00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:02,480 Speaker 1: went to the locker room. He came out the second half. 524 00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:04,520 Speaker 1: They won the game, but he didn't look like he 525 00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:08,280 Speaker 1: was that foot factors no one's talking about except for me. 526 00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:11,280 Speaker 1: Brady's hand do you do you do you think that's 527 00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:15,120 Speaker 1: the thing or do you think we're making I don't 528 00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:20,000 Speaker 1: think anything. I've learned, Shane to not think anything about 529 00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:23,320 Speaker 1: the Patriots. So you said Brady's hand, you could say 530 00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:26,640 Speaker 1: if they said that Brady Brady couldn't feel anything in 531 00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:29,720 Speaker 1: his right hand on Sunday, I'd go, I'm still betting 532 00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:32,840 Speaker 1: on Brady, like literally, yeah, you can't. How how would 533 00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:36,360 Speaker 1: you would to the fire, Shane? I would never bet 534 00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:41,440 Speaker 1: against twelve. Never, So your prediction is never bet against you, 535 00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:48,520 Speaker 1: never bet you never. Minnesota Vikings, Philadelphia Eagles. I want 536 00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:54,080 Speaker 1: your analysis, your prediction, you've played against, you've watched. What 537 00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:56,760 Speaker 1: do you got here? Now there's no Tom Brady here, 538 00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:59,680 Speaker 1: so I want to I want a hard nosed pick, Shaveren. 539 00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:02,880 Speaker 1: What do you got for me? What's your take on 540 00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:07,840 Speaker 1: you played Philadelphia? Philly? What do you got? My choice 541 00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:11,720 Speaker 1: is Philly and I'll tell you why A because they're 542 00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:15,560 Speaker 1: the home team. What does that mean other than they're 543 00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:18,760 Speaker 1: the home team, it's it's your whole routine. Um, it's 544 00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:21,760 Speaker 1: much more comfortable when you don't have to pack a 545 00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:25,080 Speaker 1: day early, get on a flight, go somewhere and stay 546 00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:27,560 Speaker 1: in a hotel. When you can chill at your house 547 00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:30,880 Speaker 1: the game. If it's an evening game, I can come 548 00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:33,000 Speaker 1: home and hang out on my couch. I can make 549 00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:35,640 Speaker 1: my my mom can make me some food. You know, 550 00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:38,720 Speaker 1: I'm I'm chilling. You know, there's no stress. I don't 551 00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:40,440 Speaker 1: have to worry about what time I need to be 552 00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:44,600 Speaker 1: here that um you know, um, where do I get 553 00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:46,480 Speaker 1: food from? When you're a lot of times when you're 554 00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:48,520 Speaker 1: a hotel and you're hungry, you know, if you don't 555 00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:50,560 Speaker 1: want to eat the room services like, well, where do 556 00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:54,200 Speaker 1: I go get some food? For the best after dinner served? 557 00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:58,520 Speaker 1: It's dinner served, you know. So Um, it's just more comfortable. 558 00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:01,520 Speaker 1: And it's your fans. You know, it's your fans. And 559 00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:03,400 Speaker 1: I actually like I like playing on the road. I 560 00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:05,160 Speaker 1: enjoy playing on the road. I think it's cool getting 561 00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:08,600 Speaker 1: yelled at it's playing in Philly is is unbelievable. I think, 562 00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:11,240 Speaker 1: like I love listen. I find it very hard to 563 00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:14,360 Speaker 1: root for the Philadelphia Eagles. I love the Sixers, Dr J. 564 00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:16,640 Speaker 1: He's right there on my wall Rocky Ball Bowl. I 565 00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:19,360 Speaker 1: ever I could rock with the Sixers. But as a 566 00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:22,320 Speaker 1: Giants fan listen, It's not like I don't hate the 567 00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:24,800 Speaker 1: Eagles like some Giants fans, but I can't like when 568 00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:26,640 Speaker 1: my team's out. I'm it's hard for me to rock 569 00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:29,080 Speaker 1: with it with the Eagles. Like, are those fans they 570 00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:32,240 Speaker 1: threw snowballs at Santa Claus they do they do an egg, 571 00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:33,920 Speaker 1: and they do an egg at our bus this year, 572 00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:36,840 Speaker 1: and that's the first time that's ever happened. That's is 573 00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:39,800 Speaker 1: that that might be undocumented. I don't know. I think 574 00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:42,840 Speaker 1: some people might have snows breaking right here. Some people 575 00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:44,480 Speaker 1: might have got on their stat chat. But yeah, this 576 00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:46,520 Speaker 1: year when we when we played a failure, we three, 577 00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:49,880 Speaker 1: we were driving, we were driving in past the tailgate 578 00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:52,520 Speaker 1: and someone saw it out a left field and came 579 00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:55,680 Speaker 1: an egg and PA hit the bus. Perfect. You gotta 580 00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:59,080 Speaker 1: respect the craziness, nothing but respect if you, if you, 581 00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:01,240 Speaker 1: if you landed the shot. I don't know how far 582 00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:03,600 Speaker 1: he through the egg, but he landed it. He probably 583 00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:06,640 Speaker 1: shot it from some egg guns. Probably they were probably waiting, 584 00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:08,400 Speaker 1: like you know, in the in the bush for you, 585 00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:11,600 Speaker 1: Why other than that is Philly going to beat based 586 00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:15,200 Speaker 1: on shavereins Shaverings prediction, why are they going to beat Minnesota? 587 00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:18,440 Speaker 1: They're off a tough win, their highest as could be 588 00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:22,000 Speaker 1: off that case. Keenum, he's like all of a sudden superman, 589 00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:25,840 Speaker 1: Adam feeling. I got a feeling, my man, he made 590 00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:28,240 Speaker 1: the catch. There's like, you know that their defense is 591 00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:31,160 Speaker 1: tough xavior roads blah blah blah blah blah. Why the 592 00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:33,120 Speaker 1: Eagles gonna beat them? Because I think the Eagles will 593 00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:35,959 Speaker 1: be able to run the ball more effectively. UM, and 594 00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:40,840 Speaker 1: I think that that's going to be extremely important with UM. Yeah, 595 00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:43,000 Speaker 1: I don't know, I could think his name. I think 596 00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:44,600 Speaker 1: they're gonna run the ball very y well. I like 597 00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:46,680 Speaker 1: their backs. And then the third one, Clement, He's he's 598 00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:51,160 Speaker 1: a nice little change of feedback. I think people underestimate Um, 599 00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:57,640 Speaker 1: Philadelphia's defense. Um, their defense is very good. Yes, their 600 00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:00,600 Speaker 1: d line is very very good. Their linebackers are very 601 00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:04,400 Speaker 1: very athletic and fast. Uh. Malcolm Jenkins is the I 602 00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:08,680 Speaker 1: mean he's he's he's their captain. UM, he's the leader, rightfully, 603 00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:11,280 Speaker 1: so he's playing he's playing an amazing season. And I 604 00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:13,400 Speaker 1: mean they're smart, they play very well together. I think 605 00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:16,160 Speaker 1: that defense has been together now for a better part 606 00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:18,840 Speaker 1: of four years. Most of them. Um, they're playing really well. 607 00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:24,920 Speaker 1: That's your prediction, you sticking to us?
