1 00:00:01,360 --> 00:00:12,840 Speaker 1: The volume. You don't do the Bowl championship. That should 2 00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:15,760 Speaker 1: always be the expectation. All right, man Ax, you go ahead. 3 00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:20,240 Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Richard Sherman Podcast. What a week, Mitchell. 4 00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:22,840 Speaker 1: The San Francisco forty nine Ers gonna win, the Seattle 5 00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:26,520 Speaker 1: Seahawks gonna win, the Buffalo Bills lose through the Rams. 6 00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:31,240 Speaker 1: Your Detroit Lions got a huge win Thursday night in 7 00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:33,960 Speaker 1: front of us, in front of the home crowd. It 8 00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:37,400 Speaker 1: was an amazing game. You gotta be feeling good right now, Mitchell. 9 00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:39,520 Speaker 2: Richard, I'm on cloud nine. 10 00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:42,280 Speaker 3: I would be feeling a little bit better if Carolina 11 00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:44,880 Speaker 3: had squeaked that one out at the end. But our guy, 12 00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:47,839 Speaker 3: big play Sligh had to step up in the clutch. 13 00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:48,720 Speaker 2: Richard. 14 00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:52,000 Speaker 3: I was thinking about you all afternoon. The Seattle Seahawks 15 00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:54,840 Speaker 3: had a huge game. This is an opportunity for them 16 00:00:54,880 --> 00:01:00,800 Speaker 3: to separate themselves from the pack in Arizona. Everyone's wondering 17 00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:03,560 Speaker 3: who is the Seattle Seahawks team. They've been a little 18 00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:06,720 Speaker 3: bit hotter of late, and they proved today. I think, 19 00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:09,560 Speaker 3: at least to me, they proved today this team, this 20 00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:11,160 Speaker 3: team might be one to compete with. 21 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:12,000 Speaker 2: Richard. 22 00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:15,240 Speaker 3: How fired up are you with that win in the Arizona. 23 00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:17,480 Speaker 3: The Seattle Seahawks come out victorious. 24 00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,000 Speaker 1: I'm so I'm so excited. That's their fourth straight coming 25 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:23,759 Speaker 1: out of Dubai and Mike McDonald made adjustments. He said 26 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:25,760 Speaker 1: he needed more urgency out of his team, and he's 27 00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 1: getting more urgency, especially out of the defense. Kobe Bryant 28 00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:33,640 Speaker 1: with another interception, Ernest Jones with a huge interception. Both 29 00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:36,600 Speaker 1: both times these things set up scores for their offense. 30 00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:42,120 Speaker 1: Kobe Bryant's interception sets up an immediate score to JSN 31 00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:47,039 Speaker 1: from Gino. Gino has another efficient game twenty four thirty 32 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:50,600 Speaker 1: two thirty three in a touchdown. But it was Zach 33 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:54,840 Speaker 1: Sharbonnay who really really shined in this game on both 34 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,680 Speaker 1: on the ground and through the area. At seven catches 35 00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,400 Speaker 1: for fifty nine yards. He had twenty two carries for 36 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty four yards two touchdowns. One of 37 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:07,040 Speaker 1: them was a huge fifty one yard run where he 38 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:10,560 Speaker 1: just that looked like everything the Seattle Seahawks wanted to 39 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:15,160 Speaker 1: see when they drafted him out of UCLA, and he delivered. Obviously, 40 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,840 Speaker 1: your guy K nine is banged up, but he stepped 41 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:21,600 Speaker 1: up in a huge way. This game, JSN continues his 42 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:25,239 Speaker 1: very consistent season. Five catches for eighty two yards. In 43 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 1: the touchdown we talked about, Jonathan Hankins gets the sack, 44 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:30,520 Speaker 1: but it just was a solid effort. And I know 45 00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,880 Speaker 1: that the Big Cat didn't get the huge play this week, 46 00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 1: didn't get the highlight play, but he made a number 47 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:40,120 Speaker 1: of huge deflections, taking on double teams all day, freeing 48 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:43,240 Speaker 1: up these linebackers. This defense just looks like a whole 49 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,960 Speaker 1: different beast. They were harassing Kyler all night long. They 50 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:50,399 Speaker 1: were playing tight coverage. Devin Witherspoon again is all over 51 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 1: the place. Tyreek Wohland Man, I thought he had a pick. 52 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 1: He undercut Marvin Harrison on a comeback route in this game, 53 00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:00,680 Speaker 1: and it was a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful cover play, and 54 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,480 Speaker 1: I thought he was gonna book him up the sideline 55 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,920 Speaker 1: for six. But they had the offensive PI. Marvin Harrison 56 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 1: Junior wanted to hate on him. Arizona Cardinal team has 57 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 1: really started to stumble as of late. You know, they're 58 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,880 Speaker 1: still running the ball well. Kyler's playing decent, but he 59 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 1: just looked rattled early on. This defense was getting to him. 60 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:20,839 Speaker 1: They were hitting him, they were turning the ball over. 61 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 1: He had a great throw where he attacked Kobe Bryant 62 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 1: on the corner route score a touchdown early in the game. 63 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 1: But after that, this defense cut the water off and 64 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,240 Speaker 1: just kept going all night long. We talked about the 65 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 1: run game from the offense. This Seattle Seahawks team looks 66 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 1: really good and I can't wait to see them Sunday 67 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:39,800 Speaker 1: night against the Green Bay Packers next week. That's going 68 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 1: to be a great game, a game that really I mean, 69 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,520 Speaker 1: I keep saying barometer, I keep saying litmus test. They've 70 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 1: won four in a row. But this Packers team has 71 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 1: looked really good. You saw him take care of Detroit 72 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 1: Lions to the wire. So if the Seattle Seahawks can 73 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 1: go in there and get their fifth straight, our our 74 00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 1: host the Packers and get their fifth straight, these conversations 75 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 1: start to change, Mitchell. For this first year coach Mike McDonald, 76 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,480 Speaker 1: we have to start thinking, oh to the year. 77 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,000 Speaker 2: I wouldn't go that far, Richard. 78 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:15,600 Speaker 3: I got a guy here in Detroit named Dan Campbell 79 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:17,839 Speaker 3: that would have an argument with you about that. But listen, 80 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:23,880 Speaker 3: this Seattle Seahawks team, they've surely impressed, and we questioned them. 81 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,159 Speaker 3: You certainly questioned them, and I was scratching my head 82 00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,800 Speaker 3: at the trade deadline when they dealt both their linebackers 83 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 3: and it seemed like they totally revamped their linebacking corps 84 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 3: and we both kind of questioned johsh Schneider at that point. 85 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:39,760 Speaker 3: But since then, four straight opponents held to twenty points 86 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,840 Speaker 3: or less. You know, this game did not start off 87 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:46,440 Speaker 3: great for them. I'm Kyler Murray connected with Michael Wilson 88 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,120 Speaker 3: on a forty yard forty one yard touchdown right out 89 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 3: the gates, and Seattle looked like they might be in 90 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:55,479 Speaker 3: for a long day, and then they recover immediately. This 91 00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 3: was a huge, huge, huge win for the Seattle Seahawks. 92 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 3: And you're absolutely right. I mean next Sunday night against 93 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:05,280 Speaker 3: the Packers, when they host the Packers, that is going 94 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:08,839 Speaker 3: to be the bar because we saw San Francisco. You know, 95 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,280 Speaker 3: look back like San Francisco. They're not out of the 96 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 3: race certainly yet. There's still a couple of weeks left 97 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:15,719 Speaker 3: in this season for them to make up ground. But 98 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 3: if the Seattle Seahawks can continue their winning ways and 99 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,200 Speaker 3: put this division to bed, you got to look out 100 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:26,040 Speaker 3: for them in the playoffs. Because Geno Smith only six 101 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:29,039 Speaker 3: incompletions today. I mean, you gotta love to see that 102 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 3: from Gino. What do they have to do to take 103 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:33,760 Speaker 3: out the Packers because the Packers are in desperate need 104 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:34,960 Speaker 3: of it to win as well. 105 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,359 Speaker 1: It starts with stopping Josh Jacobs. That's going to be 106 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 1: the biggest task. That's the task I don't think anybody 107 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:43,080 Speaker 1: has done, including your Detroit Lions, but your Detroit Lions 108 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 1: defensive line is a lot more banged up. They have 109 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 1: to have a plan to stop Josh Jacobs. If you 110 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,160 Speaker 1: stop Josh Jacobs, then you put more pressure on Jordan 111 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:53,679 Speaker 1: Love to really drop back. Matt Laflor has not felt 112 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:57,360 Speaker 1: comfortable with allowing Jordan Love to throw the ball born 113 00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,200 Speaker 1: in twenty five, twenty twenty five times a game. If 114 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,600 Speaker 1: he gets to throwing thirty thirty five times a game, 115 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:04,840 Speaker 1: this team may be in trouble because he gets a 116 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,240 Speaker 1: little reckless with the football. He starts to get a 117 00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 1: little chaotic, a little a little cavalier, pushing the ball 118 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:17,360 Speaker 1: down the field, allowing believing in his arm strength, believing 119 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:19,520 Speaker 1: in his arm talent, and putting the ball in harm's way. 120 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:21,720 Speaker 1: We've seen that throughout the season, and that's why the 121 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 1: last few games you just have not seen him really 122 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,280 Speaker 1: pushed the ball down the field as much as they 123 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 1: had earlier in the year. They've really leaned on the 124 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,360 Speaker 1: run game. They're going to have to protect the football 125 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 1: because Green Bay Packers turn it over at a really 126 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:38,320 Speaker 1: high level. Especially on defense. Jeff Afley has done a 127 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,599 Speaker 1: really great job all year long just coaching his team 128 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,159 Speaker 1: put him in good position. If they can get JayR 129 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,919 Speaker 1: Alexander back, that'd be a huge boost for this defense 130 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:49,160 Speaker 1: and change the way that they're covering. Maybe they run 131 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,560 Speaker 1: a little bit more man coverage, so these receivers are 132 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:55,360 Speaker 1: going to have to beat man coverage consistently. But I'm 133 00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 1: just going to enjoy this one. This team has to 134 00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:01,160 Speaker 1: feel good going on the road getting their fourth straight win. 135 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:05,560 Speaker 1: They look really good, they look confident, they look together. 136 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 1: You could see just the camaraderie on defense, the togetherness, 137 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 1: guys celebrating one another, celebrating all victories. It's really cool 138 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 1: to see. But you know what else is cool to see? Mitchell. 139 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:18,680 Speaker 2: Here comes the hat change. 140 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 1: Hat change Menchell hat Change the San Francisco forty nine ers, 141 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:27,400 Speaker 1: and they had a great bounce back game. Struggling struggling, 142 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:31,680 Speaker 1: breaking a three game losing streak that had me and 143 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 1: everybody else really concerned. We can talk about all the 144 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 1: injuries that they have, the guys that are out right now, 145 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 1: the guys that went to IR, but I don't want 146 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:42,480 Speaker 1: to talk about that right now. I want to talk 147 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:44,920 Speaker 1: about the guys that played. Right now, we're going to 148 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:48,040 Speaker 1: talk about Brock Perdy twenty for twenty five, three hundred 149 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 1: and twenty five yards, two touchdowns. Isaac Garndo with a 150 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:56,160 Speaker 1: really impressive game. Fifteen carries for seventy eight yards to 151 00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 1: two touchdowns, two catches for fifty yards, really getting dynamic. 152 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,080 Speaker 1: One of them. I thought that could have been a touchdown. 153 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:04,840 Speaker 1: Brock perty put that ball up early. I thought Grinda 154 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 1: was gonna be able to roll into the end zone. 155 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:11,480 Speaker 1: He wasn't able to do it. But George Kittle, welcome back, 156 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 1: my friend, Welcome back to getting targets. The creativity and 157 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:18,880 Speaker 1: the play calling looked great. A lot of screens, middle screens, 158 00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:24,640 Speaker 1: outside screens, just pushing it over routes. Kittle was involved 159 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:27,679 Speaker 1: in just about every quarter of the game. They finally 160 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,720 Speaker 1: don't waste a good Juwan Jennings game. Seven catches for 161 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 1: ninety yards, two touchdowns and they get the win. You know, 162 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,439 Speaker 1: every other time Juwan has a great game, they find 163 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:39,240 Speaker 1: a way to stumble and lose that game. So I'm 164 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:42,240 Speaker 1: just happy for him. I'm happy for the team he 165 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:45,080 Speaker 1: was he was going at you know, their dbs. They 166 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:48,200 Speaker 1: were going back and forth with Jalen Johnson, friend of 167 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 1: the program, and they were battling. It's always good to 168 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:53,520 Speaker 1: see that kind of battle. But San Francisco forty nine 169 00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:55,560 Speaker 1: ers putting up these kind of points was really good 170 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:59,040 Speaker 1: to see thirty eight points in the game against the 171 00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:02,480 Speaker 1: Chicago defense has played really good throughout this season and 172 00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:06,160 Speaker 1: have a lot of talent. Roma Doonza gets active, gets 173 00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 1: his first two i mean gets two touchdowns in this game. 174 00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:13,200 Speaker 1: But Caleb Williams gets sacked seven times, which was great 175 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,720 Speaker 1: for the San Francisco verdy nine ers because without Nick Bosa, 176 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,120 Speaker 1: they just haven't been able to get home very consistently. 177 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:21,400 Speaker 1: It was good to see Gross Matos get his three sacks, 178 00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 1: Leonard Floyd got two sacks. It was a collective effort 179 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:27,640 Speaker 1: and just you could see the sense of urgency from 180 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:31,400 Speaker 1: the d line. You could see the linebackers, everybody flying around. 181 00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,719 Speaker 1: It looked like a really good team. Now I get 182 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,960 Speaker 1: to go to San Francisco this Thursday to watch my 183 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:42,600 Speaker 1: San Francisco forty nine Ers play the La Rams in 184 00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:47,080 Speaker 1: the game that's gonna be. It's gonna be the loser 185 00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:50,080 Speaker 1: of this game. Likely it kills their hopes at the 186 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:53,600 Speaker 1: playoffs at the division. Honestly, the Seattle Seahawks might have 187 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:56,600 Speaker 1: pulled away already with the division. You know, in order 188 00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:58,240 Speaker 1: for either of these teams to have a chance to 189 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,480 Speaker 1: win it, they're gonna need some help and need some 190 00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:03,120 Speaker 1: losses from the Seattle Seahawks. But anything is possible to 191 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 1: the National Football League. 192 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:06,719 Speaker 3: The Chicago Bears started off the season four and two, 193 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:09,839 Speaker 3: and everyone's like, holy cow, maybe this NFC North is 194 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:12,439 Speaker 3: gonna get four teams in the playoffs. And they've lost 195 00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:17,360 Speaker 3: seven straight since. And you know, they wanted this game bad, 196 00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:19,440 Speaker 3: but the forty nine Ers wanted it a lot more, 197 00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:22,040 Speaker 3: and they needed it a lot more. They've been bruised, 198 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:25,280 Speaker 3: they've been battered, they've been without several of their best players, 199 00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:29,880 Speaker 3: but they lean on the unknown. Isaac Grendo goes off. 200 00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:33,000 Speaker 3: I mean, like you said, you lean on the reliable, 201 00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 3: George Kittle, Richard I promise you, whoever that two seed 202 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:40,840 Speaker 3: is in this NFL playoffs, if the San Francisco forty 203 00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:43,520 Speaker 3: nine ers are able to sneak in as that seventh seed, 204 00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:46,440 Speaker 3: they are not gonna want to see them. For the 205 00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:48,959 Speaker 3: love of God, please do not have the Detroit Lions 206 00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:51,240 Speaker 3: be the two seed and play in the San Francisco 207 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:52,719 Speaker 3: forty nine ers at home. I do not want to 208 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,559 Speaker 3: see that matchup San Francisco.

Everybody saw LA having a chance, 247 00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:03,440 Speaker 1: adding myself, the Buffalo Bills have been rolling Josh Allen 248 00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:06,960 Speaker 1: getting MVP chance in every stadium he goes to because 249 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:10,720 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills fans travel well, but not so fast. My 250 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:15,840 Speaker 1: friend old Lee Corso, when you're playing Matt Stafford, you 251 00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:17,880 Speaker 1: better bring you better bring your lunch, Baill, and you 252 00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:20,680 Speaker 1: better bring your offense. And they did. If Buffalo Bill 253 00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:23,040 Speaker 1: scored forty two points in this game, and I'm sure 254 00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:25,560 Speaker 1: if they walked in thinking, hey, Josh Allen's gonna have 255 00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:31,040 Speaker 1: five touchdowns, six touchdowns. He's gonna throw for three, he's 256 00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:33,880 Speaker 1: gonna run for three. We're gonna score forty two points. 257 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,760 Speaker 1: Kalisha Kiir is gonna have five kits for one hundred 258 00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:39,880 Speaker 1: and six yards, Amari Cooper six catches for ninety five yards. 259 00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:45,800 Speaker 1: You're like, that's a dug no, no, not this time. 260 00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,400 Speaker 1: Matt Stafford twenty three to thirty three hundred and twenty 261 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:52,079 Speaker 1: yards two touchdowns, didn't get sacked once. You gotta give 262 00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:56,120 Speaker 1: that Rams offensive line a lot of credit because this 263 00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:58,200 Speaker 1: is a defense that gets pressure on the quarterback. They 264 00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:00,439 Speaker 1: give a lot of exotic looks, they bring pressure, they 265 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:03,199 Speaker 1: get home, and they were not able to sack him once. 266 00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:08,240 Speaker 1: But Pooking the cool. The game Pooking Nikola had was legendary. 267 00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:12,880 Speaker 1: Some of those catches he's left me scratching my head 268 00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:16,040 Speaker 1: because I I just I couldn't explain it. I mean 269 00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:19,560 Speaker 1: the one where he backed up and kind of went 270 00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:23,400 Speaker 1: over his shoulder, got his feet down like landed, and 271 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:26,800 Speaker 1: then another one on the same sideline pushed the defender 272 00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:30,440 Speaker 1: by fly by catch it over his head like incredible 273 00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:35,080 Speaker 1: catches and then the screen for the dagger touchdown to 274 00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:39,200 Speaker 1: finish this game off Cooper Cup doing you know, five 275 00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:41,480 Speaker 1: for ninety two in a touchdown, but doing all the 276 00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:46,120 Speaker 1: dirty work blocking had a huge block on the final 277 00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:48,880 Speaker 1: Pooking the cool touchdown. It was a really great play. 278 00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:52,640 Speaker 1: Just sacrificing these guys. Kyrin William has twenty nine rushers 279 00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:56,640 Speaker 1: for eighty seven yards and two touchdowns. They're doing their scraping, clawing, 280 00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:59,880 Speaker 1: doing everything they can to win these ball games. But 281 00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:05,640 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill's losing a game like this after everybody told 282 00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:09,120 Speaker 1: me that it was that's the reason why Josh Allen 283 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:12,720 Speaker 1: was his candidacy was so great. And mind you, Josh 284 00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:16,360 Speaker 1: Allen really raised his bar and scored six touchdowns in 285 00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:19,640 Speaker 1: this game. So is MVP candidacy For the numbers guy 286 00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:24,480 Speaker 1: goes up tremendously. But for the argument that everybody's been 287 00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:27,080 Speaker 1: trying to make about, hey, it's because his team is 288 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:32,160 Speaker 1: winning so much. Now they have their third loss? Has 289 00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:34,960 Speaker 1: that change the argument at all? Is does that make 290 00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:38,400 Speaker 1: it better? Is it worse? Now? Now the Bill's got 291 00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:41,280 Speaker 1: to go to Detroit and beat the Detroit Lions, so 292 00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:44,360 Speaker 1: they could potentially beat ten and four or they can 293 00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:46,920 Speaker 1: go eleven and three. But if they're ten and four, 294 00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:49,920 Speaker 1: does that change things? Like That's why this whole thing, that, 295 00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:53,840 Speaker 1: that whole idea and that whole argument was just it 296 00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:57,360 Speaker 1: was not great. And Josh Allen had an MVP like 297 00:15:57,400 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 1: performance today two hundred and thirty I mean three hundred 298 00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:03,400 Speaker 1: and forty yards, three touchdowns, passing, three rushing, ten carries 299 00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:07,280 Speaker 1: for eighty two yards, Like that's impact that's a huge impact. 300 00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:11,320 Speaker 1: That's MVP candidate, But you have to look at the overall. 301 00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:16,240 Speaker 1: He's having MVP performances. Win his team needs them late 302 00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:20,440 Speaker 1: in the season, that's definitely gonna bolster his chances. But 303 00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,080 Speaker 1: if they lose these games down the stretch and other 304 00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:25,720 Speaker 1: teams win, that's going to bolster their chance. Like if 305 00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:28,680 Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Eagles would have lost this game, that would 306 00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:33,160 Speaker 1: diminish Sakwan Barkley's chances. But he just became the all 307 00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:36,520 Speaker 1: time leading run or broke the single season rec rushing 308 00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:41,640 Speaker 1: record for the Philadelphia Eagles already, and it's only week fourteen, 309 00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:44,600 Speaker 1: and so he has three more weeks to put up 310 00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:46,960 Speaker 1: more yards and break it even further and push down 311 00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:52,680 Speaker 1: below That's what MVP candidates. It's always special seasons, records breaking, 312 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,360 Speaker 1: you know, leading the league those that's the kind of 313 00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:57,640 Speaker 1: things you say about MVP candidates. I'm sorry, I know 314 00:16:57,720 --> 00:16:59,080 Speaker 1: they don't want to give it to a running back 315 00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:01,480 Speaker 1: and they're saying, ain't give it to a running back anymore, 316 00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:03,840 Speaker 1: and YadA, YadA, YadA, But at some point you gotta 317 00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:07,560 Speaker 1: look and say, when sacred Jalen Hurst do for on 318 00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:10,200 Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty yards is game something like that 319 00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:12,800 Speaker 1: wasn't a great game from Jalen Hurts by any stretch 320 00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:15,320 Speaker 1: of the imagination. And if he's playing like that and 321 00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:19,040 Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Eagles are still winning the games, it's because 322 00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:22,840 Speaker 1: Saquon Barkley is taken over and he was running his 323 00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:25,560 Speaker 1: butt off. And that's a story. Every single week. This 324 00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:28,760 Speaker 1: team goes as Saquon Barkley goes, and they stumble when 325 00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:31,119 Speaker 1: Sakuon Barkley is not having a great game. He just 326 00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:34,320 Speaker 1: has not had many great bad games this season, so 327 00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:38,080 Speaker 1: they don't lose. But you know that's my little Ted 328 00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:40,480 Speaker 1: talk for the day, Mitchell. The Buffalo Bills have a 329 00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:42,640 Speaker 1: tough week next week against the Lines.

The Seattle Seahawks 338 00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:14,639 Speaker 3: are eight and five. LA Rams if they play like 339 00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:18,919 Speaker 3: this down the stretch. They're healthy, they're getting now all 340 00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:21,880 Speaker 3: their playmakers involved. Seattle's doing the same thing, and they're 341 00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:24,000 Speaker 3: looking a hell of a lot better. Do you have 342 00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:26,520 Speaker 3: that much faith the Seattle Seahawks can hold this team 343 00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:29,480 Speaker 3: down with four games ranting in the schedule. 344 00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:33,000 Speaker 1: Well, anything can happen. I mean, I can't say I 345 00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:35,600 Speaker 1: predicted any of this that happened the way it did. 346 00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:38,520 Speaker 1: And so I don't know. If the Seattle Seahawks keep winning, 347 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:42,119 Speaker 1: they control their destiny. And it's always tough when you 348 00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:45,159 Speaker 1: don't control your destiny. If the Seattle Seahawks keep winning, 349 00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:48,240 Speaker 1: it's their division, they go away with it. The San 350 00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:50,800 Speaker 1: Francisco forty nine ers only chance is to win it 351 00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:54,040 Speaker 1: go in as a wild card team, as the seventh seed, 352 00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:56,200 Speaker 1: and so there's a lot of things that got to 353 00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:59,159 Speaker 1: happen there for them to get in as that last 354 00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:05,160 Speaker 1: wild card team. But win and give yourself the best chance. 355 00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:06,399 Speaker 1: You know, at this point, I think they got to 356 00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:09,280 Speaker 1: win every game. They got to win out and just 357 00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:11,359 Speaker 1: to give themselves a shot at ten and seven, and 358 00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:13,679 Speaker 1: at ten and seven, you know, I'm sure they'll have 359 00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:16,160 Speaker 1: an argument. You know, I'm not sure they have every 360 00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:20,720 Speaker 1: tie breaker, honestly, but that will be giving themselves the 361 00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:22,920 Speaker 1: best chance. And these guys are continuing to fight hard, 362 00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:24,679 Speaker 1: They're gonna get healthier, and if they do get in 363 00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:26,760 Speaker 1: those playoffs, it's going to be a very difficult team 364 00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:28,720 Speaker 1: to be They're going to be a very difficult team 365 00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:33,240 Speaker 1: to put out of these playoffs, and so we'll see. 366 00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:38,800 Speaker 3: Let's talk about one of the most shocking, less yet 367 00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:41,280 Speaker 3: unshocking team of the year. 368 00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:42,920 Speaker 2: It's the Pittsburgh Steelers. 369 00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:45,520 Speaker 3: I mean, every year we're talking about how the hell 370 00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:48,960 Speaker 3: are they about to make the playoffs again? And they're 371 00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:51,919 Speaker 3: not only making the playoffs their borderline running away with 372 00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:54,679 Speaker 3: this division. They're six and one since Russ has been 373 00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:58,200 Speaker 3: a starter. Let's talk about Russ right now. He didn't 374 00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:00,920 Speaker 3: have the best statistical game, but he's without his number 375 00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:04,639 Speaker 3: one option and George Pickens. I know they're playing the 376 00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:07,360 Speaker 3: low league Cleveland Browns, but the Browns just beat him 377 00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:10,320 Speaker 3: two weeks ago. How impressed are you with the Steelers 378 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:13,199 Speaker 3: right now and the way they're showcasing it to the 379 00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:16,280 Speaker 3: NFL that they are true competitors for the for the 380 00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:18,280 Speaker 3: whole kitten kabudle the Super Bowl. 381 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:21,720 Speaker 1: Well, I mean, this defense really stepped up this game. Obviously, 382 00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:24,239 Speaker 1: you just talked about Russ and what he's done. I mean, 383 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:26,560 Speaker 1: was it was fifteen or twenty six, one hundred and 384 00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:29,200 Speaker 1: fifty eight yards, two touchdowns, you know, not a ton 385 00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:31,520 Speaker 1: of action, but like you said, George Pickens was out, 386 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:36,199 Speaker 1: really leaned on Mike Williams a little bit more, Calvin 387 00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:38,679 Speaker 1: Austin a little bit more. Najie Harris still running the 388 00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:41,119 Speaker 1: ball well, sixteen carriage fifty three yards, you know, just 389 00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:45,600 Speaker 1: doing enough. But that defense, Cam Hayward huge plays, James 390 00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:49,960 Speaker 1: Pierre with an interception, Keanu Benton with the interception. That's 391 00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:51,760 Speaker 1: the big reason why they win this game. And it's 392 00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:54,919 Speaker 1: happened both ways because I guess the Cincinnati Bengals, the 393 00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:59,760 Speaker 1: offense had scored forty four points and you know, win 394 00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:02,080 Speaker 1: all and need when they needed to have it. In 395 00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:05,199 Speaker 1: this game, the defense steps up, holds Jamis will Winston 396 00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:09,320 Speaker 1: the twenty and twelve yards, hosts this offense to fourteen points. 397 00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:12,960 Speaker 1: The offense scores twenty seven points. And that's what this team. 398 00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:15,480 Speaker 1: They're so balanced, they're so balanced, and they're gonna have 399 00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:17,679 Speaker 1: a tough decision at the end of the season to 400 00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:20,239 Speaker 1: make with in regards to Russell Wilson and what they 401 00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:21,879 Speaker 1: want to do with his contract, what they want to 402 00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:25,560 Speaker 1: do going forward, because he's making himself some money. You know, 403 00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:27,359 Speaker 1: anytime you're winning in this league, he six and one 404 00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:30,640 Speaker 1: as a starter this year, you're gonna ask for good 405 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:32,320 Speaker 1: money you deserve. And you know it's gonna be up 406 00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:35,720 Speaker 1: to him whether he takes the deal you know that's 407 00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:39,000 Speaker 1: friendlier to the team, or he tries to maximize his 408 00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:42,159 Speaker 1: earning potential. You know, I think at this point in 409 00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:44,200 Speaker 1: his career, he's earned a lot of money. He's made 410 00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:46,600 Speaker 1: his money, so maybe he takes a more team friendly deal, 411 00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:50,600 Speaker 1: you know, forty million dollars a year or so deal 412 00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:53,320 Speaker 1: you know, spread out a different way or figure you know, 413 00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:56,280 Speaker 1: maneuver or figured it out a different way. You know, 414 00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:59,000 Speaker 1: maybe he wants sixty million like that guy. You know, 415 00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:02,800 Speaker 1: And again he has the leveraging this situation, especially if 416 00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:05,159 Speaker 1: he continues to play well, to ask for whatever he 417 00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:07,320 Speaker 1: wants to. He plays quarterback in the National Football League. 418 00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:09,320 Speaker 1: Are you gonna come off a really good season and 419 00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:12,560 Speaker 1: let the guy walk away because of the money. The 420 00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:15,360 Speaker 1: fans in the backlash would be great in Russell's case, 421 00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:18,040 Speaker 1: are you really gonna leave a situation that seems perfectly 422 00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:21,320 Speaker 1: tailored to your skill set perfectly Taylor to who you are, 423 00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:24,720 Speaker 1: a supportive defense, a good run game, offensive coordinator, and 424 00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:29,240 Speaker 1: Arthur Smith who understands you. You know, it seems like 425 00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:33,159 Speaker 1: a perfect match. And I don't think he's gonna let 426 00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:36,320 Speaker 1: money get in the way of them continuing this in 427 00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:39,040 Speaker 1: the future. This is a great coach, not an all 428 00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:42,120 Speaker 1: time coach. And Mike Tomlin, who's done a really good 429 00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:44,560 Speaker 1: job with him. So I think, you know, the way 430 00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:47,160 Speaker 1: this team has embraced him, the way he's changed himself 431 00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:50,359 Speaker 1: to fit this culture and to really step in and 432 00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:52,440 Speaker 1: help this team in the way he has. He's gonna 433 00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:57,720 Speaker 1: deserve the money he can ask for, but it's gonna 434 00:22:57,720 --> 00:22:59,560 Speaker 1: be what you value more. And I think he's gonna 435 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,360 Speaker 1: value to fit more than the money, and so he'll 436 00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:05,600 Speaker 1: probably take a more team friendly deal going forward. He 437 00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:07,919 Speaker 1: got a lot of money from the Seattle Seahawks, got 438 00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:10,720 Speaker 1: a lot of money from Denver. Now you got to 439 00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:14,199 Speaker 1: you gotta worry about, you know, legacy and reputation and 440 00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:16,000 Speaker 1: all that going forward, and you don't want to end 441 00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:18,679 Speaker 1: up with an another bad situation after you were in 442 00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:21,399 Speaker 1: a perfect situation because because of the money. 443 00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:25,959 Speaker 3: Our times have changed five years ago. I mean, Richard, 444 00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:28,920 Speaker 3: if you're saying a team friendly deal is forty million 445 00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:31,600 Speaker 3: dollars a year, and God bless it. 446 00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:32,080 Speaker 2: I'll take it. 447 00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:32,720 Speaker 1: God bless it. 448 00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:37,040 Speaker 3: And you know what I mean to your point, rich this, 449 00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:39,480 Speaker 3: I don't want to call him the Seattle Seahawks, and 450 00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:41,240 Speaker 3: I'm not going to call him that, but from a 451 00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:45,080 Speaker 3: structure standpoint, you're right. I mean, they've got everything Russ needs. 452 00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:48,439 Speaker 3: They got an absolute behemoth of a defense, and they 453 00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:51,280 Speaker 3: got just enough playmaking weapons on the offensive side of 454 00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:51,680 Speaker 3: the ball. 455 00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:53,480 Speaker 2: And Najee Harris is a bruiser. 456 00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:55,640 Speaker 3: I mean, I don't want to call him Marshawn Lynch 457 00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:56,920 Speaker 3: and I'm not going to call him that, but he's 458 00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:59,760 Speaker 3: got a similar running style to him. And you know what, 459 00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:02,520 Speaker 3: we'll see what the Steelers can do down the stretch. 460 00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:04,720 Speaker 3: They have a brutal ending of the season. The next 461 00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:08,679 Speaker 3: four games, They're at Philly, They're at Baltimore, they host 462 00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:12,120 Speaker 3: the Kansas City Chiefs, and they finish off against Cincinnati. 463 00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:15,160 Speaker 3: We will see what this Pittsburgh Steeler team is truly 464 00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:19,040 Speaker 3: made of down this stretch. I'll tell you what. I 465 00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:22,800 Speaker 3: can't believe the status is real, but it is.

It's time to talk 495 00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:10,919 Speaker 3: about Sam Donald and this team because I don't know 496 00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:12,960 Speaker 3: if it's going to be a one season and done 497 00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:15,399 Speaker 3: for him in Minnesota. He looks like he's found a 498 00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:19,119 Speaker 3: new home, Richard. They just drafted JJ McCarthy with a 499 00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:22,600 Speaker 3: first round pick. How do you handle this situation? If 500 00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:26,720 Speaker 3: you're the GM of the Minnesota Vikings. Do you let 501 00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:28,920 Speaker 3: Sam walk? Do you assign him to a couple of 502 00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:31,879 Speaker 3: year deal? Obviously he's gonna want some money. What do 503 00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:33,919 Speaker 3: you do if you're Minnesota? What if you're doing if 504 00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:35,240 Speaker 3: you're Sam Donald. 505 00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:38,960 Speaker 1: If you're Sam Donald, you're maximizing your potential. You're maximizing 506 00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:41,520 Speaker 1: your earning potential. You want to be a starter and 507 00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:45,400 Speaker 1: you want long term security. And if you're the Minnesota Vikings, 508 00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:48,119 Speaker 1: I don't see anything that shows you shouldn't give it 509 00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:50,040 Speaker 1: to him. You know, he's having a really good season. 510 00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:51,959 Speaker 1: Maybe you can look at his past and whatever and 511 00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:55,359 Speaker 1: whatever and say, how is this fool's gold? Is this real? 512 00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:59,800 Speaker 1: But none of this looks like law. It doesn't look 513 00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:03,080 Speaker 1: like he's just oh man, it's tipped passes or anything 514 00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:05,439 Speaker 1: like that. He's going through his progressions. It just seems 515 00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:09,800 Speaker 1: like a hand and glove fit in Minnesota. And so 516 00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:12,440 Speaker 1: I can't see them really really moving on from him 517 00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:16,159 Speaker 1: and really restarting with JJ McCarthy. Maybe they would, you know, 518 00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:19,400 Speaker 1: they spent a high draft pick on him. But if 519 00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:21,840 Speaker 1: that happened, I expect Sam Donald to get to find 520 00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:24,280 Speaker 1: work somewhere else and and and get a really really 521 00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:27,760 Speaker 1: lucrative contract, whether that's the New York Giants, if that's 522 00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:30,080 Speaker 1: an it would be really crazy. If it's the New 523 00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:33,040 Speaker 1: York Jets, I mean, you're talking about full circle. Oh 524 00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:36,639 Speaker 1: my god, I couldn't imagine. Sheeez, that'd be a storyline. 525 00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:38,080 Speaker 1: It could be a number of teams. It could be 526 00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:42,360 Speaker 1: the Raiders if they don't draft Shadora Sanders or our 527 00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:44,560 Speaker 1: Ward in the draft, you know, if they don't take 528 00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:46,080 Speaker 1: a quarterback, or if they don't get the guy that 529 00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:49,080 Speaker 1: they want. So there's a number of situations he could 530 00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:52,639 Speaker 1: walk into and become the Day one starter. But I 531 00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:55,440 Speaker 1: think it's in Minnesota's best interest to just keep continuity. 532 00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:58,520 Speaker 1: You know, maybe maybe you give yourself an out after 533 00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:02,240 Speaker 1: two years and then give JJ chance. But I don't 534 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:04,200 Speaker 1: think you bring a rookie all coming off an ACL 535 00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:07,320 Speaker 1: injury into the National Football League who hasn't played a 536 00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:10,000 Speaker 1: down and replace a quarterback playing as well as Sam 537 00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:14,119 Speaker 1: Darnold du has been for your team and really winning 538 00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:16,440 Speaker 1: you a lot of these games. To have five touchdowns 539 00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:20,680 Speaker 1: this game twenty two, twenty eight for three, forty seven, 540 00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:23,639 Speaker 1: a career high five touchdowns, a career high one hundred 541 00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:26,400 Speaker 1: and fifty seven point nine pass rating, almost a perfect 542 00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:29,720 Speaker 1: passer rating. It just seems like the receivers trust him. 543 00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:32,560 Speaker 1: He's got a great rapport with him. Jordan Addison for 544 00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:36,440 Speaker 1: eight for one thirty three, three touchdowns. Justin Jefferson seven 545 00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:39,600 Speaker 1: catches for one thirty two, two touchdowns. I think you're 546 00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:41,920 Speaker 1: gonna have a hard time having a conversation with those 547 00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:45,680 Speaker 1: guys and saying we couldn't pay Sam. He's gone. We 548 00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:47,920 Speaker 1: got JJ, and you guys will figure it out with him. 549 00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:51,360 Speaker 1: These guys are having really, really impressive seasons with him, 550 00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:54,440 Speaker 1: and I know that they've had success with her Cousins before, 551 00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:57,160 Speaker 1: but you just I don't know how many times you're 552 00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:59,120 Speaker 1: gonna be able to keep doing this. And maybe JJ 553 00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:01,160 Speaker 1: McCarthy comes in and it does just as well, but 554 00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:05,360 Speaker 1: I don't want to risk that if I'm the Minnesota Vikings, well. 555 00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:07,880 Speaker 3: The Minnesota Vikings, they've obviously had a heck of the 556 00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:11,200 Speaker 3: season ten and two. Now, you know, coming into this game, 557 00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:14,280 Speaker 3: the whole talk of the NFC North is my Detroit Lions, 558 00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:16,560 Speaker 3: and yet Minnesota is only a game back. 559 00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:18,560 Speaker 2: And again you. 560 00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:21,560 Speaker 3: Got the emotions of Kirk Cousins coming back into town 561 00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:24,000 Speaker 3: and they get it done and they double them up 562 00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:25,160 Speaker 3: forty two to twenty one. 563 00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:27,560 Speaker 2: Kudos to the Minnesota Vikings. 564 00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:31,480 Speaker 3: I mean this team there, They've got so many dynamic 565 00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:34,640 Speaker 3: weapons on the offense side of the ball and then defensively, 566 00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:36,920 Speaker 3: they're so well coached and they just get it done 567 00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:40,360 Speaker 3: week in and week out. This Minnesota Vikings team is 568 00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:42,600 Speaker 3: a force to be reckoned with. And I just hope, 569 00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:45,400 Speaker 3: you know, they stumble up down the stretch. So the week, 570 00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,160 Speaker 3: you know, the final week of the season against Detroit 571 00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:51,880 Speaker 3: Lions is meaningless because you'd hate to see a shootout 572 00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:55,640 Speaker 3: in ford Field. But let's flip the script to Atlanta. 573 00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:58,600 Speaker 3: This team started off hot and now they're six and seven. 574 00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:02,520 Speaker 3: They've had a four game losing street. Kirk Cousins struggled 575 00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:06,800 Speaker 3: in that four games, zero touchdowns over four games, eight interceptions, 576 00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:12,680 Speaker 3: sixty two pass grading, fifteen interceptions so far. Richard, is 577 00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:17,240 Speaker 3: it time that they close that chapter on kirk Cousins 578 00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:19,560 Speaker 3: and turn the keys over to the car to Michael 579 00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:21,560 Speaker 3: Pennix Junior, their first round draft pick. 580 00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:24,240 Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know that. I just don't 581 00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:27,320 Speaker 1: know if that's the answer. You know it's you know, 582 00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:29,280 Speaker 1: maybe it is, and you put him out there. But 583 00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:32,640 Speaker 1: for font No to pay kirk Cousins fifty million dollars 584 00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:34,280 Speaker 1: a year and put him on the bench and then 585 00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:36,720 Speaker 1: know that next year you're going into the next year 586 00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:38,920 Speaker 1: with him on the bench as the backup of fifty 587 00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:41,680 Speaker 1: million dollars backup is just is just a kind of 588 00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:45,240 Speaker 1: conversation that gets people fired. And so I don't think 589 00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:48,920 Speaker 1: they'd sit him because you you have fifty million dollars 590 00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:52,320 Speaker 1: backing up just get you imagine that they're talking every game, 591 00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:55,400 Speaker 1: that's talking point and so every time the rookie has 592 00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:58,239 Speaker 1: stumbles or those interceptions or makes a mistake, it's going 593 00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:00,000 Speaker 1: to be like, well, why do you have fifty millions 594 00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:02,600 Speaker 1: on a bench, or when you can't afford a free agent, 595 00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:04,400 Speaker 1: why do you have fifty million sitting on a bench? 596 00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:07,440 Speaker 1: If there are just so many conversations and Kirkus struggling 597 00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:09,920 Speaker 1: in a really big way right now, but hopefully he's 598 00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:12,280 Speaker 1: able to come out of it and play well. You know, 599 00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:14,200 Speaker 1: he's played well at point to this season. He threw 600 00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:16,240 Speaker 1: for three hundred and forty four yards. He did throw 601 00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:21,520 Speaker 1: the two interceptions, but they were battling in this game 602 00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:24,240 Speaker 1: for a while and it was really closer than the 603 00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:28,080 Speaker 1: score show that got away from him. Late this Minnesota 604 00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:31,680 Speaker 1: Vikings defense Byron Murphy made a really great interception, one 605 00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:35,560 Speaker 1: handed interception in this game. But I don't think you 606 00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:37,120 Speaker 1: can bench him. I don't think you can bention him 607 00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:38,560 Speaker 1: at this point of the season. I don't think you 608 00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:41,320 Speaker 1: can bench him with all the money you have invested 609 00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:44,040 Speaker 1: into him, because I just don't think you have a 610 00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:47,320 Speaker 1: way to answer those questions this offseason about what you're 611 00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:49,160 Speaker 1: going to do with the guy you promised. He has 612 00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:51,800 Speaker 1: one hundred and something million guaranteed, so it's not like 613 00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:54,280 Speaker 1: you could just cut him and hey, next season, you 614 00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:56,200 Speaker 1: don't have to pay a salary. You're going to be 615 00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:59,080 Speaker 1: paying him fully guaranteed money next year, So you got 616 00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:01,400 Speaker 1: to just this is the decision you made. This is 617 00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:03,880 Speaker 1: the guy, and you got to stick with him, good 618 00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:05,400 Speaker 1: or bad. You gotta keep going. 619 00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:06,080 Speaker 2: Well. 620 00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:09,920 Speaker 3: His replacement in Minnesota, Sam Darnold, has earned this week's 621 00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:12,680 Speaker 3: Players in Prime Time, brought to you by our friends 622 00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:13,800 Speaker 3: and partners at Brightling. 623 00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:14,440 Speaker 2: Richard. 624 00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:17,440 Speaker 3: I switched it up today considering the Lions played on Thursday, 625 00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:19,600 Speaker 3: and I went with my alternative Brightling watch. 626 00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:23,960 Speaker 2: It's a beauty Yeah, what do you think, Krispy Yeah?

Shout out to 632 00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:45,520 Speaker 3: Sam Darnald, our players in prime Time Recipient of the Week, 633 00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:48,720 Speaker 3: brought to you by our friends and partners at Brightling.

Jared 659 00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:14,839 Speaker 1: Golf has a really good game thirty two forty one 660 00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:17,960 Speaker 1: eighty three, three touchdowns, did have the one interception to 661 00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:21,160 Speaker 1: my guy, Keishawan Nixon, friend of the program. We got 662 00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:24,040 Speaker 1: to have him on here soon. But they really did 663 00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:27,200 Speaker 1: a really great jobs at Darius Smith in this defensive 664 00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:30,000 Speaker 1: line of misfits. You know, guys that you had to 665 00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:35,120 Speaker 1: look up as they were making plays. Aaron Glenn deserves 666 00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:38,160 Speaker 1: to be a head coach. And you know, I hope 667 00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:40,200 Speaker 1: you guys don't lose both your coordinators, but there's a 668 00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:42,640 Speaker 1: chance you lose both your coordinators this year. And that's 669 00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:44,799 Speaker 1: what you know. That's one of the things about being 670 00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:47,239 Speaker 1: a really good team is is they take from you, 671 00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:49,560 Speaker 1: They take from good teams. They everybody want some of 672 00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:51,799 Speaker 1: what you're doing. They want what you're doing, they want 673 00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:54,920 Speaker 1: some of a piece of that pie so that they 674 00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:59,040 Speaker 1: can help increase their team and help their team win games. 675 00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:01,480 Speaker 1: What he's been able to do with a bunch of 676 00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:03,200 Speaker 1: guys that he just got off the street, that he 677 00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:06,120 Speaker 1: elevated from practice squad. He gets a tip of the 678 00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:08,880 Speaker 1: cap from me because this is This Green Bay Packers 679 00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:11,400 Speaker 1: team is a really good team, and Josh Jacobs has 680 00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:14,160 Speaker 1: been running the ball down in just about everybody's throats. 681 00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:16,839 Speaker 1: He was held eighteen carries for sixty six yards, which 682 00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:19,279 Speaker 1: isn't a bad game. He had three rushing touchdown, but 683 00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:21,120 Speaker 1: it's not the kind of game that he's been having 684 00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:24,880 Speaker 1: in the past. Christian Watson has the four catches for 685 00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:27,400 Speaker 1: one hundred and fourteen yards, but lost to fumble a 686 00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:31,160 Speaker 1: great play made by Carlton Davis. You know, didn't give 687 00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:33,319 Speaker 1: up on the play, punched it out it was able 688 00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:36,640 Speaker 1: to be recovered. We talked about Keishaw Nixon in his interception. 689 00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:39,000 Speaker 1: This Green Bay Packers team is really good, but they 690 00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:41,839 Speaker 1: needed this win. They falled in nine to four. Now 691 00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:46,000 Speaker 1: two and three games behind the Detroit Lions for the division. 692 00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:47,960 Speaker 1: But like you said, it's the Minnesota Vikings that you 693 00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:49,640 Speaker 1: got to worry about, and you play them at the 694 00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:55,240 Speaker 1: end of the season. Jamier Gibbs continues his excellent season 695 00:35:55,640 --> 00:36:00,480 Speaker 1: with seventy three all purpose yards the receiving touch down. 696 00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:03,880 Speaker 1: Tim Patrick has two touchdowns any game. It just seems 697 00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:07,760 Speaker 1: like this team doesn't care who gets the ball, doesn't 698 00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:10,600 Speaker 1: care who gets the credit, doesn't care who gets the success. 699 00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:13,200 Speaker 1: They just want to win. And if you can see 700 00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:15,799 Speaker 1: it each and every week, you could see it. Each 701 00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:21,520 Speaker 1: and every play, gods are doing whatever it takes, blocking, tackling, hitting. 702 00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:24,239 Speaker 1: Pane Sewell's catching passes. He didn't catch any of this game, 703 00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:26,239 Speaker 1: but every time, every time, every week you look up, 704 00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:28,440 Speaker 1: they running another play for him. And they ran like 705 00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:30,600 Speaker 1: a reverse for him. A couple of weeks ago, I said, 706 00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:33,759 Speaker 1: what are we doing now? We're running running traps with 707 00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:37,799 Speaker 1: Piney Sewell at getting the ball. But I'm excited for 708 00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:41,000 Speaker 1: this game coming up against the Bills in Detroit. That's 709 00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:42,719 Speaker 1: going to be the game of the week. I would 710 00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:48,160 Speaker 1: imagine Josh Allen and his crew coming into Detroit to 711 00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:51,840 Speaker 1: play this very talented Detroit Lions team. They win that game, 712 00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:54,080 Speaker 1: they're gonna have a claim as the best team in 713 00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:55,920 Speaker 1: the National Football League. And it's that It's going to 714 00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:58,279 Speaker 1: be very difficult to say. It's close depending on what 715 00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:01,960 Speaker 1: happens tonight with the Kansas City Chiefs. I think that's 716 00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:03,560 Speaker 1: going to be a doll fight of a division game 717 00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:07,960 Speaker 1: with the Chargers. We'll see how that goes. But your 718 00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:12,799 Speaker 1: Detroit lines are the beast. It can't be the beast 719 00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:16,640 Speaker 1: in the East, the best in the Midwest. That might. 720 00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:19,200 Speaker 3: Hey, that's got a ring to it. You know, well, 721 00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:23,920 Speaker 3: they've won, they've won eleven straight games, Richard. But critical 722 00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:25,759 Speaker 3: fourth and one down the stretch. I think it was 723 00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:28,400 Speaker 3: about forty seconds left in the game, And I know 724 00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:32,040 Speaker 3: you shared a conversation with Jared Goff post game about 725 00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:35,799 Speaker 3: what was going between Dan Campbell and his mind. What 726 00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:38,920 Speaker 3: was that conversation, because I think it's important for the 727 00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:43,040 Speaker 3: Detroit fan base and the heck the National Football League 728 00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:46,040 Speaker 3: fan base to hear what was going through a mind 729 00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:48,680 Speaker 3: between player and coach when you're facing a fourth and 730 00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:52,360 Speaker 3: one in field goal range with forty seconds left. Richard, 731 00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:54,520 Speaker 3: what was the words you share with Jared Goff post game. 732 00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:56,920 Speaker 1: Well, Mitchell, it wasn't It wasn't me. He was having 733 00:37:56,960 --> 00:37:59,640 Speaker 1: a conversation with Andrew Whitworth while he's having in conversation 734 00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:02,560 Speaker 1: with all and was like, Hey, what was the conversation 735 00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:06,240 Speaker 1: like on the sideline before that fourth and one and Jared. 736 00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:10,440 Speaker 1: You know, the summary is Jared basically comes over and 737 00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:13,480 Speaker 1: Dan's on the headset, you know, telling him, Hey, we're 738 00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:15,520 Speaker 1: kicking it and just get the field goal team ready. 739 00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:17,879 Speaker 1: We're gonna stand there. We're talking through, but we're gonna 740 00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:22,000 Speaker 1: kick it. And Jared, you know, dejected. It's like, man, man, 741 00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:25,160 Speaker 1: I want to go, and Dan Campbell just looks at 742 00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:28,359 Speaker 1: him and said, you want to do it, efort, We're 743 00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:31,080 Speaker 1: going for it. And then he changes his mind and 744 00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:33,720 Speaker 1: goes for it. And he trusts his men, He trusts 745 00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:36,720 Speaker 1: his team, He trust his offensive line that they're gonna 746 00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:40,759 Speaker 1: get it done for him. And some people may look 747 00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:43,319 Speaker 1: at that and be like, hey, is that really how 748 00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:46,480 Speaker 1: it should go? Yeah, that's how it should go. You 749 00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:49,560 Speaker 1: can do all the analytics in the world. You can say, oh, man, 750 00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:51,880 Speaker 1: this percentage and this percentage, but at the end of 751 00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:54,840 Speaker 1: the day, do you trust your team, do you believe 752 00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:57,640 Speaker 1: in your guys. And if your quarterback says he thinks 753 00:38:57,719 --> 00:39:00,600 Speaker 1: they can get it done, and you say, I'm gonna 754 00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:03,560 Speaker 1: believe in my quarterback and what he sees and what 755 00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:06,439 Speaker 1: he does, that's a gut feeling and that's what that's 756 00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:08,960 Speaker 1: what his team is ready to run through walls for 757 00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:12,080 Speaker 1: Dan Campbell because he believes in them like they believe 758 00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:14,160 Speaker 1: in him. And he is a leader of men. And 759 00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:17,160 Speaker 1: as a leader of men, in order to show them leadership, 760 00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:19,800 Speaker 1: you have to show them trust and faith and belief. 761 00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:22,560 Speaker 1: And that is what he did. He said, Hey, if 762 00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:26,680 Speaker 1: we lose, I lost with my men the way they 763 00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:29,400 Speaker 1: wanted to go out. I didn't play it conservative. I 764 00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:32,120 Speaker 1: didn't play it soft. I didn't play scared. Scared money, 765 00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:35,880 Speaker 1: don't make no money. And they reach in Detroit right now. 766 00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:39,640 Speaker 3: It's Dan Gamble's season here in Detroit, and we talked 767 00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:41,879 Speaker 3: about it last season.

They lived by the sword, they died by 770 00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:49,920 Speaker 3: the sword. Today they won by that sword. On Thursday. 771 00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:52,719 Speaker 3: They run by that sword. And you know, kudos to 772 00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:56,080 Speaker 3: him for believing in his men.
