Speaker 1: partnership with Iheartradioya. Hey, welcome to Go Morning Football present

3
00:00:28,588 --> 00:00:30,948
Speaker 1: of my old Trapper Beef Jerky live here in New

4
00:00:31,028 --> 00:00:34,308
Speaker 1: York City. It's Tuesday, December thirteenth. I'm Jamie Ardolds, Kyle Brand,

5
00:00:34,388 --> 00:00:37,428
Speaker 1: Peter Schrager, and Jason mccordy. Guys, Monday Night football man

6
00:00:37,508 --> 00:00:40,428
Speaker 1: Lisa Salters had a litany of injuries she had to

7
00:00:40,428 --> 00:00:41,988
Speaker 1: deal with last night, both sides of the ball, but

8
00:00:42,068 --> 00:00:44,948
Speaker 1: most notably Kyler Murray. We're gonna find out more in

9
00:00:44,988 --> 00:00:47,668
Speaker 1: a couple of minutes from Tom Pella Sero. But huge

10
00:00:47,708 --> 00:00:51,868
Speaker 1: impact for the Cardinals, fuge impact for the Cardinals, competitive game.

11
00:00:51,908 --> 00:00:53,868
Speaker 1: The Patriots are alive. What we got twelve days till

12
00:00:53,868 --> 00:00:56,188
Speaker 1: Cowboys Eagles? Guys? Is that where we're at twelve days

13
00:00:56,268 --> 00:00:58,908
Speaker 1: till first Mass. I think we are doing the We

14
00:00:58,908 --> 00:01:00,548
Speaker 1: got an advent counter to Cowboys season, and we have

15
00:01:00,588 --> 00:01:02,388
Speaker 1: a TripleHead of this weekend NFL network. We do. But

16
00:01:02,388 --> 00:01:05,628
Speaker 1: it's time for the league block, all righty, and the

17
00:01:05,628 --> 00:01:09,268
Speaker 1: Patriots win seven and six their record, guys, they're just

18
00:01:09,388 --> 00:01:11,188
Speaker 1: right where they need to be in the bottom end

19
00:01:11,228 --> 00:01:13,588
Speaker 1: of the AFC. They went by two touchdowns against the Cardinals.

20
00:01:13,588 --> 00:01:16,348
Speaker 1: Have just circled the drain. But unfortunately we had to

21
00:01:16,388 --> 00:01:19,388
Speaker 1: talk about Kyler Murray's injury, and both coaches spoke about

22
00:01:19,388 --> 00:01:24,708
Speaker 1: it after the Patriots whim, Yeah, it's tough, there's no doubt. Um,

23
00:01:25,188 --> 00:01:26,948
Speaker 1: you see teams go through it every week. But you

24
00:01:27,068 --> 00:01:29,908
Speaker 1: losers are starter on third play of the game. UM,

25
00:01:30,708 --> 00:01:33,508
Speaker 1: you know, kind of a deal non contact. It's just

26
00:01:33,628 --> 00:01:37,468
Speaker 1: just tough to watch and see and um, you gotta

27
00:01:37,508 --> 00:01:40,308
Speaker 1: be able to rebound and continue to play the game.

28
00:01:40,308 --> 00:01:44,428
Speaker 1: Though I've never seen him, um in that type of shape,

29
00:01:44,468 --> 00:01:47,988
Speaker 1: so I assumed it wasn't good. Tough to see a

30
00:01:48,068 --> 00:01:50,908
Speaker 1: player like Murray get hurt. Um. I hope he's okay,

31
00:01:51,948 --> 00:01:54,708
Speaker 1: but you know, it's still a lot of good players

32
00:01:54,748 --> 00:02:00,148
Speaker 1: on the field. You know. Offensively, Um, yeah, played better. Um,

33
00:02:00,188 --> 00:02:02,348
Speaker 1: you know, a tough break on the interception, not got

34
00:02:02,348 --> 00:02:05,868
Speaker 1: his arm hit, But um, I thought we did some

35
00:02:05,908 --> 00:02:10,708
Speaker 1: things better. Still got a long way to go. So

36
00:02:10,708 --> 00:02:13,228
Speaker 1: we saw Kyler Murray get carted off on Monday night football.

37
00:02:13,228 --> 00:02:15,988
Speaker 1: Colt McCoy came in and pace the Cardinals as he

38
00:02:16,068 --> 00:02:19,148
Speaker 1: has had to do already this season. But Tom Hellasaro

39
00:02:19,468 --> 00:02:21,828
Speaker 1: joining us now, Tom, you're in a different scene today

40
00:02:21,908 --> 00:02:25,108
Speaker 1: coming to us from Irving, Texas for the December league meetings.

41
00:02:25,388 --> 00:02:27,868
Speaker 1: But let's talk Kyler Murray last night in Arizona, left

42
00:02:27,908 --> 00:02:32,668
Speaker 1: the game early. What's the update this morning, Well, Jamie,

43
00:02:32,708 --> 00:02:34,908
Speaker 1: you heard Cliff Kingsbury says that it does not look

44
00:02:34,948 --> 00:02:37,428
Speaker 1: good for Kyler Murray, who is feared to have suffered

45
00:02:37,468 --> 00:02:40,988
Speaker 1: a significant knee injury when that right knee buckled on

46
00:02:41,028 --> 00:02:45,108
Speaker 1: the opening drive last night on Monday Night Football. That

47
00:02:45,228 --> 00:02:48,028
Speaker 1: now raises questions not only about him for the rest

48
00:02:48,068 --> 00:02:50,668
Speaker 1: of the twenty twenty two season, where obviously Kyler not

49
00:02:50,748 --> 00:02:53,388
Speaker 1: expected to play, but also given the timing of the injury,

50
00:02:53,508 --> 00:02:56,188
Speaker 1: raises questions about his availability for the start of the

51
00:02:56,268 --> 00:02:59,228
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three season as well. Murray is going to

52
00:02:59,548 --> 00:03:02,348
Speaker 1: undergo further testing, include an MRI today that will give

53
00:03:02,388 --> 00:03:06,188
Speaker 1: the Cardinals a better handle on the severity of the injury.

54
00:03:06,188 --> 00:03:08,908
Speaker 1: But certainly it appears to be a major knee injury

55
00:03:08,948 --> 00:03:11,908
Speaker 1: for Kyler Murray as the Cardinals now play out the

56
00:03:11,948 --> 00:03:14,268
Speaker 1: string and enter an off season with one more big

57
00:03:14,348 --> 00:03:19,028
Speaker 1: question looming over the organization. Absolutely, and the Cardinals felt

58
00:03:19,068 --> 00:03:21,548
Speaker 1: that they had answered that question a quarterback signing to

59
00:03:22,668 --> 00:03:25,428
Speaker 1: huge contract to Kyler Murray this past summer and not

60
00:03:25,548 --> 00:03:28,348
Speaker 1: to see this happened to the Cardinals quarterback is really heartbreaking.

61
00:03:28,388 --> 00:03:30,028
Speaker 1: Tom Plo. Sarah, thank you very much. We'll talk to

62
00:03:30,068 --> 00:03:32,588
Speaker 1: you in a little bit. Hang with us. So Monday

63
00:03:32,628 --> 00:03:35,508
Speaker 1: night football delivered a costly loss in a lot of

64
00:03:35,508 --> 00:03:37,948
Speaker 1: ways for the Cardinals. It was an ugly win for

65
00:03:37,948 --> 00:03:39,748
Speaker 1: the Patriots, which he was what the win did. They

66
00:03:39,748 --> 00:03:44,428
Speaker 1: are no longer in the hashtag capitalized lurking column. They

67
00:03:44,468 --> 00:03:48,948
Speaker 1: are officially sealed that wildcard spot, the final one after

68
00:03:48,988 --> 00:03:51,468
Speaker 1: this week of play. But those two teams at the

69
00:03:51,508 --> 00:03:53,708
Speaker 1: top of the lurking column, the Chargers and the Jets,

70
00:03:53,748 --> 00:03:55,788
Speaker 1: your eyes kind of go there, and frankly, the way

71
00:03:55,788 --> 00:03:57,988
Speaker 1: the Jags are playing, they could be part of that

72
00:03:58,028 --> 00:04:01,708
Speaker 1: conversation too. But let's stick with the Patriots. Peter, after

73
00:04:01,748 --> 00:04:04,228
Speaker 1: that game, what stands out to you. I appreciate the

74
00:04:04,428 --> 00:04:08,188
Speaker 1: working in caps lock, Gina. We appreciate you back at

75
00:04:08,228 --> 00:04:10,308
Speaker 1: home shop and Mount Laurel working on that one, because

76
00:04:10,348 --> 00:04:13,588
Speaker 1: now their teams are all surrounding those wildcard spots and

77
00:04:13,628 --> 00:04:15,988
Speaker 1: who's going to get in? And the Patriots at the

78
00:04:16,028 --> 00:04:18,468
Speaker 1: dig deep yesterday they were riddled with injury. They came

79
00:04:18,468 --> 00:04:20,628
Speaker 1: in round with injury. Then they were losing guys as

80
00:04:20,628 --> 00:04:22,428
Speaker 1: we went I mean, we saw DeVante Parker go down,

81
00:04:22,468 --> 00:04:24,668
Speaker 1: and you saw Jack Jones go down, and when they

82
00:04:24,748 --> 00:04:28,468
Speaker 1: needed it, it was two unlikely heroes at running back

83
00:04:28,548 --> 00:04:31,108
Speaker 1: who stepped up. I gotta be honest, I didn't see

84
00:04:31,188 --> 00:04:33,708
Speaker 1: Pierre Strong and Kevin Harris being the guys who are

85
00:04:33,708 --> 00:04:35,628
Speaker 1: gonna put this game away for them. But it was

86
00:04:35,708 --> 00:04:39,068
Speaker 1: Pierre Strong and Kevin Harris. Pierre Strong a fourth round

87
00:04:39,068 --> 00:04:43,108
Speaker 1: pick one hundred twenty seventh overall, Kevin Harris, a sixth

88
00:04:43,228 --> 00:04:46,348
Speaker 1: round pick one hundred eighty third overall. And as much

89
00:04:46,388 --> 00:04:49,988
Speaker 1: as there's a camp of the Belichick can't draft anymore Belichick,

90
00:04:50,028 --> 00:04:52,428
Speaker 1: which is on the draft, Cole Stranger has played a

91
00:04:52,428 --> 00:04:55,028
Speaker 1: big role in this team this season. Taekwon Thornton. We

92
00:04:55,068 --> 00:04:57,668
Speaker 1: know Marcus Jones as they do everything. Guy Jack Jones

93
00:04:57,748 --> 00:05:00,948
Speaker 1: was playing well. Zappie came in. Now you got Pierre

94
00:05:01,028 --> 00:05:03,868
Speaker 1: Strong and Kevin Harris, two rookies. This is what they are.

95
00:05:03,948 --> 00:05:06,948
Speaker 1: South go to State in South Carolina. They combined for

96
00:05:07,108 --> 00:05:11,108
Speaker 1: five rushing attempts going into last night. They both scored touchdowns.

97
00:05:11,228 --> 00:05:13,828
Speaker 1: They both put the game away, and as we head

98
00:05:13,868 --> 00:05:18,108
Speaker 1: towards the latter half of December and then potentially January,

99
00:05:18,868 --> 00:05:20,788
Speaker 1: it's going to be the healthiest teams in the league

100
00:05:20,788 --> 00:05:22,348
Speaker 1: that win games. But it's also going to be the

101
00:05:22,388 --> 00:05:25,548
Speaker 1: deepest teams in the league that win games. Now, well,

102
00:05:25,588 --> 00:05:27,428
Speaker 1: I say on the air right now on our program

103
00:05:27,468 --> 00:05:30,228
Speaker 1: that Pierre Strong and Kevin Harris are gonna beat the

104
00:05:30,228 --> 00:05:33,388
Speaker 1: Bills in Buffalo, went to Kansas City. Let's not go

105
00:05:33,428 --> 00:05:35,468
Speaker 1: there yet, but they were good enough to beat the

106
00:05:35,548 --> 00:05:38,468
Speaker 1: Cardinals in Arizona. And that game was a two score

107
00:05:38,548 --> 00:05:41,268
Speaker 1: win for the Patriots. You never apologize for Victoris. It

108
00:05:41,388 --> 00:05:43,588
Speaker 1: wasn't pretty at time, and yet they found a way

109
00:05:43,628 --> 00:05:46,148
Speaker 1: and they got contributions from guys who have not done

110
00:05:46,228 --> 00:05:48,388
Speaker 1: much throughout the season but have been waiting their turn.

111
00:05:48,468 --> 00:05:50,468
Speaker 1: I like this kind of win from the Patriots where

112
00:05:50,588 --> 00:05:53,388
Speaker 1: we gotta dig deep. They did, and they guys who

113
00:05:53,388 --> 00:05:55,188
Speaker 1: were able to step up when they had to. So true.

114
00:05:55,188 --> 00:05:58,588
Speaker 1: I remember doing the game were Buffalo versus New England

115
00:05:58,668 --> 00:06:00,988
Speaker 1: was just like, hey, Romandre Stevenson needs a break, Like

116
00:06:01,028 --> 00:06:03,348
Speaker 1: who's going in the game last night? We found out

117
00:06:03,388 --> 00:06:05,668
Speaker 1: who those two guys are. And when you look at

118
00:06:05,748 --> 00:06:07,268
Speaker 1: New England and the way they were able to win

119
00:06:07,348 --> 00:06:09,148
Speaker 1: that game yesterday. A lot of it had to do

120
00:06:09,508 --> 00:06:12,268
Speaker 1: with the defense coming up with turnovers, returning one for

121
00:06:12,268 --> 00:06:14,188
Speaker 1: a touchdown. A lot of that had to do with

122
00:06:14,228 --> 00:06:17,988
Speaker 1: a young guy, josh Uch who showed up and showed

123
00:06:17,988 --> 00:06:20,148
Speaker 1: out in that game. I remember being in New England

124
00:06:20,188 --> 00:06:22,948
Speaker 1: when we drafted josh and the year before had drafted

125
00:06:22,988 --> 00:06:25,588
Speaker 1: Chase Winovich in the third round. Then Uch comes in

126
00:06:25,588 --> 00:06:27,868
Speaker 1: in the second round and gets there. I'm like, this

127
00:06:27,988 --> 00:06:30,068
Speaker 1: kid has no idea what the hell he's doing out here.

128
00:06:30,468 --> 00:06:32,908
Speaker 1: High Tower, this is the COVID year High Tower decides

129
00:06:32,948 --> 00:06:36,068
Speaker 1: to opt out. Ouch is playing some inside linebacker, some

130
00:06:36,188 --> 00:06:40,788
Speaker 1: outside linebacker, rushing the passer. And he came in extremely hungry,

131
00:06:40,828 --> 00:06:43,188
Speaker 1: trying to learn, trying to figure it out. And as

132
00:06:43,228 --> 00:06:45,948
Speaker 1: you watch him last night and throughout this season, now

133
00:06:46,068 --> 00:06:49,028
Speaker 1: has ten sacks. And Matthew Judon said after the game,

134
00:06:49,308 --> 00:06:50,908
Speaker 1: this is the guy I've been telling you about. He's

135
00:06:50,948 --> 00:06:54,188
Speaker 1: our best pass rusher on the team, and now he's

136
00:06:54,188 --> 00:06:56,828
Speaker 1: getting a chance to play. And Judon said it, if

137
00:06:56,828 --> 00:06:59,188
Speaker 1: you chipped me and you leave josh Ucha one on one,

138
00:06:59,388 --> 00:07:01,188
Speaker 1: he's gonna be able to wreck hav it and he

139
00:07:01,228 --> 00:07:03,748
Speaker 1: did that last night. Not only is three sacks, he's

140
00:07:03,748 --> 00:07:06,108
Speaker 1: the one who called this is this interception by Marcus

141
00:07:06,188 --> 00:07:09,148
Speaker 1: Jones by hitting Colton McCoy. Has been fun to watch

142
00:07:09,228 --> 00:07:11,388
Speaker 1: this guy, and he said after the game, Hey, it's

143
00:07:11,428 --> 00:07:13,788
Speaker 1: been a long journey and I'm able to produce now.

144
00:07:13,908 --> 00:07:15,268
Speaker 1: And he said a lot of it. He said, Matthew

145
00:07:15,308 --> 00:07:17,828
Speaker 1: Judean has been a blessing in his life having him

146
00:07:17,828 --> 00:07:20,348
Speaker 1: there as a big brother, he called him being able

147
00:07:20,388 --> 00:07:21,988
Speaker 1: to help him and show him the ropes. There is

148
00:07:21,988 --> 00:07:24,628
Speaker 1: a guy playing confident right now and getting after the passer.

149
00:07:25,188 --> 00:07:27,428
Speaker 1: They are and I watched this game and I get

150
00:07:27,908 --> 00:07:29,788
Speaker 1: this morning I'm looking back. I mean, this is the

151
00:07:29,788 --> 00:07:31,908
Speaker 1: strangest team in the league. I think it's the strangest

152
00:07:31,908 --> 00:07:34,548
Speaker 1: Patriots team of my lifetime. I don't get them the

153
00:07:34,628 --> 00:07:37,508
Speaker 1: mac Jones thing. They got this kid out there like

154
00:07:37,548 --> 00:07:40,548
Speaker 1: a screaming tennis player and like this spoiled brat, yelling

155
00:07:40,548 --> 00:07:43,028
Speaker 1: at everybody that he competes, and at the end he hugs.

156
00:07:43,308 --> 00:07:46,028
Speaker 1: He was just angry the whole night. There's a lot

157
00:07:46,068 --> 00:07:49,108
Speaker 1: of this going on. He looks furious. They're in an

158
00:07:49,228 --> 00:07:52,748
Speaker 1: era in a conference with the Mahomes and borrow and

159
00:07:52,868 --> 00:07:56,628
Speaker 1: Herbert and Alan. The starting quarterback has seven touchdown passes

160
00:07:56,668 --> 00:07:59,588
Speaker 1: on the season, he has eight interceptions, and yet there

161
00:07:59,628 --> 00:08:01,708
Speaker 1: they are in the playoff spot. The leading receiver is

162
00:08:01,788 --> 00:08:04,948
Speaker 1: Jacobe Myers. We're starting Good Morning Foot Paul with josh

163
00:08:05,028 --> 00:08:07,348
Speaker 1: Ucha and Pierre Strong, and then they're in the playoffs.

164
00:08:08,108 --> 00:08:10,068
Speaker 1: A lot of it is okay. It's the defense. They

165
00:08:10,188 --> 00:08:12,668
Speaker 1: lead the NFL in non offensive touchdowns. They lead the

166
00:08:12,788 --> 00:08:16,748
Speaker 1: entire NFL special teams touchdowns, defensive touchdowns, eighty five points

167
00:08:16,748 --> 00:08:19,588
Speaker 1: off turnovers. It's better than Philadelphia. It's better than Dallas.

168
00:08:19,948 --> 00:08:22,188
Speaker 1: I just don't know how. I don't still I still

169
00:08:22,188 --> 00:08:24,708
Speaker 1: think the Judge Patricia thing is weird. I don't understand

170
00:08:24,708 --> 00:08:26,628
Speaker 1: how the team is built. And here they are. They're

171
00:08:26,668 --> 00:08:29,668
Speaker 1: just hovering around five hundred and I guess gonna make

172
00:08:29,668 --> 00:08:31,988
Speaker 1: the playoffs. But like, is are we gonna be talking about,

173
00:08:32,068 --> 00:08:34,788
Speaker 1: you know, they're gonna Patriots this thing and Pierce Strong's

174
00:08:34,788 --> 00:08:36,708
Speaker 1: gonna two hundred yards an arrowhead in the title game?

175
00:08:36,988 --> 00:08:40,348
Speaker 1: Or is this like held together with rivets and bubblegum?

176
00:08:40,348 --> 00:08:42,188
Speaker 1: And it is actually kind of a terrible team that

177
00:08:42,308 --> 00:08:44,468
Speaker 1: is just willing itself to win through their coaching and

178
00:08:44,508 --> 00:08:48,148
Speaker 1: their defense, I kind of go towards the ladder. I

179
00:08:48,268 --> 00:08:51,068
Speaker 1: can't be like, oh man, this secret weapon of the

180
00:08:51,108 --> 00:08:54,308
Speaker 1: Patriots is surgeon right now. I just they beat like

181
00:08:54,348 --> 00:08:56,988
Speaker 1: a terrible Cardinals team who lost their quarterback on the

182
00:08:57,028 --> 00:08:59,388
Speaker 1: third place. So I'm not calling for them get a

183
00:08:59,388 --> 00:09:01,468
Speaker 1: playoff spot. I can't call them over the Charges. I

184
00:09:01,508 --> 00:09:02,948
Speaker 1: can't call them over the Jets. I think it's a

185
00:09:02,948 --> 00:09:04,988
Speaker 1: hell of a coaching effort from Belichick, and the defense

186
00:09:05,308 --> 00:09:08,388
Speaker 1: is proud as hell, But until then, like weird team

187
00:09:08,508 --> 00:09:10,068
Speaker 1: and we're gonna have a weird final month. I don't

188
00:09:10,068 --> 00:09:12,388
Speaker 1: know what to make of him. Yeah, a multifaceted coaching

189
00:09:12,428 --> 00:09:14,508
Speaker 1: effort by Belichick, from the guys that he drafted those

190
00:09:14,548 --> 00:09:16,948
Speaker 1: rookies all the way to the final whistle for that game.

191
00:09:17,028 --> 00:09:19,388
Speaker 1: And when we were preparing for the show last night,

192
00:09:19,428 --> 00:09:21,468
Speaker 1: I look at what we're going to lead the hours

193
00:09:21,468 --> 00:09:23,828
Speaker 1: with and the conversations like depending on who wins, and

194
00:09:24,148 --> 00:09:25,908
Speaker 1: part of me was like, I mean, this is going

195
00:09:25,948 --> 00:09:27,668
Speaker 1: to be ugly for either one of these teams. Like

196
00:09:27,708 --> 00:09:30,068
Speaker 1: this is where we're really the direction editorially that we're

197
00:09:30,108 --> 00:09:31,788
Speaker 1: gonna go. It is like, let's go with the team

198
00:09:31,828 --> 00:09:34,028
Speaker 1: that wins, because frankly, I think if either one of

199
00:09:34,028 --> 00:09:36,548
Speaker 1: these teams had won, the way their seasons have gone

200
00:09:36,548 --> 00:09:38,508
Speaker 1: have been challenging. I think for the Cardinals a little

201
00:09:38,548 --> 00:09:42,068
Speaker 1: bit more challenging, specifically for Kyler Murray. I just hate

202
00:09:42,068 --> 00:09:44,628
Speaker 1: what happened to him last night. Everything that has happened

203
00:09:44,628 --> 00:09:49,268
Speaker 1: to this young man since whenever that contract weird clause

204
00:09:49,468 --> 00:09:52,828
Speaker 1: first broke and what feels like last December, but really

205
00:09:52,828 --> 00:09:56,868
Speaker 1: in reality it was August first. Essentially this he has

206
00:09:56,908 --> 00:10:00,788
Speaker 1: just been fodder across the league for what are you

207
00:10:00,908 --> 00:10:03,108
Speaker 1: doing in your spare time? How are we preparing for games?

208
00:10:03,108 --> 00:10:05,028
Speaker 1: And then to go down like this the third play

209
00:10:05,068 --> 00:10:07,948
Speaker 1: of the game, when, frankly, the receivers and the players

210
00:10:07,948 --> 00:10:10,828
Speaker 1: that he is working with offensively, whether it be Marquis Brown,

211
00:10:10,988 --> 00:10:15,028
Speaker 1: Robbie Anderson, DeAndre Hopkins, that wide receiver room has one

212
00:10:15,068 --> 00:10:18,348
Speaker 1: to two years left each of them on their contracts.

213
00:10:18,708 --> 00:10:21,868
Speaker 1: Where are the Cardinals going offensively? What direction? Because I frankly,

214
00:10:21,908 --> 00:10:23,548
Speaker 1: I think if this team had figured a couple things

215
00:10:23,588 --> 00:10:25,548
Speaker 1: out down the stretch, win or loss, it would have

216
00:10:25,628 --> 00:10:28,788
Speaker 1: given Cliff Kingsbury Steve Kime a little bit more direction

217
00:10:28,788 --> 00:10:30,628
Speaker 1: as to where they're going in the future. And now

218
00:10:30,668 --> 00:10:32,668
Speaker 1: you just don't know, because now you don't have Kyler

219
00:10:32,748 --> 00:10:34,748
Speaker 1: Murray and you have Colt McCoy, and are you really

220
00:10:34,828 --> 00:10:37,108
Speaker 1: going to get a good read on a Robbie Anderson,

221
00:10:37,188 --> 00:10:39,588
Speaker 1: on a James Connor as to where this team is

222
00:10:39,628 --> 00:10:41,868
Speaker 1: supposed to go? I just hate it for the team.

223
00:10:41,908 --> 00:10:44,108
Speaker 1: And frankly, who didn't matter who won last night. I

224
00:10:44,148 --> 00:10:45,788
Speaker 1: don't think you were going to get some great answer

225
00:10:45,828 --> 00:10:48,588
Speaker 1: about these teams. Yeah, very true. It's tough tough to

226
00:10:48,628 --> 00:10:50,788
Speaker 1: see Kyler go now when like as a player, you're

227
00:10:50,788 --> 00:10:52,308
Speaker 1: on the field and you see the car come out

228
00:10:52,308 --> 00:10:54,588
Speaker 1: and everybody comes over. It's just a tough sight to

229
00:10:54,588 --> 00:10:56,828
Speaker 1: see to move on now and continue to play the game.

230
00:10:56,948 --> 00:10:58,668
Speaker 1: And like you said, for Kyler, it has been so

231
00:10:58,748 --> 00:11:01,748
Speaker 1: much that is transpired, and now to have an entire

232
00:11:01,788 --> 00:11:05,108
Speaker 1: offseason where now you're rehabbing and going through that process

233
00:11:05,108 --> 00:11:06,828
Speaker 1: as well. It's interesting because you look at the quarterback

234
00:11:06,828 --> 00:11:09,068
Speaker 1: situations in the NFC West, like, what do we make

235
00:11:09,068 --> 00:11:10,828
Speaker 1: a Trey Lance now that Brock Purdy is having this

236
00:11:10,868 --> 00:11:12,508
Speaker 1: thing in Trey Lance is injured? What do you make

237
00:11:12,548 --> 00:11:14,868
Speaker 1: of Matthew Stafford in the RAM? What do you make

238
00:11:14,908 --> 00:11:17,068
Speaker 1: of Geno Smith? I don't know, is he the guy

239
00:11:17,188 --> 00:11:19,068
Speaker 1: moving forward. They've lost a bunch and now you've got

240
00:11:19,148 --> 00:11:22,268
Speaker 1: Kyler coming off a knee. And if Tom Talasaro is

241
00:11:22,308 --> 00:11:24,068
Speaker 1: call it like it is like, it might not just

242
00:11:24,108 --> 00:11:26,068
Speaker 1: be hey by training camp he's ready. He might be

243
00:11:26,388 --> 00:11:28,388
Speaker 1: not ready to November of next year. Which is why

244
00:11:28,428 --> 00:11:30,028
Speaker 1: this year could have been right for the Cardinals to

245
00:11:30,108 --> 00:11:31,828
Speaker 1: have a year where they define themselves, and they just

246
00:11:31,828 --> 00:11:35,788
Speaker 1: couldn't quite get there. Speaking of defining themselves, the Cowboys

247
00:11:36,068 --> 00:11:39,388
Speaker 1: made some moves yesterday, Tom Placaro joining us once again

248
00:11:39,668 --> 00:11:42,108
Speaker 1: adding a wide receiver, but Tom not the one that

249
00:11:42,108 --> 00:11:46,308
Speaker 1: we've been talking about. That's right, Jamie. The Cowboys have

250
00:11:46,428 --> 00:11:49,668
Speaker 1: indeed added a veteran receiver, but it is not Odell Beckham.

251
00:11:49,748 --> 00:11:53,548
Speaker 1: Junior t Y Hilton, the ten year veteran longtime Indianapolis cold,

252
00:11:54,028 --> 00:11:56,508
Speaker 1: is headed to Dallas on a deal for the rest

253
00:11:56,508 --> 00:12:00,308
Speaker 1: of this season. Hilton gets six hundred thousand dollars guaranteed,

254
00:12:00,348 --> 00:12:03,028
Speaker 1: plus fifty thousand dollars for each game he's active, and

255
00:12:03,068 --> 00:12:06,308
Speaker 1: he has another seven hundred thousan dollars available in incentives

256
00:12:06,308 --> 00:12:08,908
Speaker 1: in the postseason. It's a rare in season signing that

257
00:12:09,028 --> 00:12:11,708
Speaker 1: is not for the veteran minimum. It shows how much

258
00:12:11,748 --> 00:12:14,028
Speaker 1: the Cowboys wanted t Y Hilton to be a part

259
00:12:14,028 --> 00:12:16,468
Speaker 1: of their team. Mike McCarthy called it a great edition, said,

260
00:12:16,508 --> 00:12:18,708
Speaker 1: Hilton is ready to go. He worked out for the team.

261
00:12:18,748 --> 00:12:21,108
Speaker 1: They'll get him ramped up out there on the practice

262
00:12:21,148 --> 00:12:23,948
Speaker 1: field starting tomorrow, and they expect him to contribute sooner

263
00:12:23,948 --> 00:12:27,228
Speaker 1: than later. Now, this does not necessarily take the Cowboys

264
00:12:27,268 --> 00:12:30,828
Speaker 1: out of the OBJ sweepstakes, in part because that deal

265
00:12:30,908 --> 00:12:32,988
Speaker 1: for Beckham was always going to be as much, if

266
00:12:33,028 --> 00:12:35,948
Speaker 1: not more, about twenty twenty three as twenty twenty two.

267
00:12:36,228 --> 00:12:39,268
Speaker 1: But t Y Hilton gives the Cowboys something that Odell

268
00:12:39,348 --> 00:12:42,548
Speaker 1: would not have. A player who is ready, willing and

269
00:12:42,748 --> 00:12:54,828
Speaker 1: able to contribute right now in the regular season. I

270
00:12:54,908 --> 00:12:57,828
Speaker 1: can't find anyone now throws. Let us got the loft

271
00:12:57,668 --> 00:13:05,148
Speaker 1: and let the runs. A brother touchdown. Person by barrack

272
00:13:05,188 --> 00:13:09,588
Speaker 1: hole trying a good outside He said, brother touchdown, great round.

273
00:13:09,868 --> 00:13:19,508
Speaker 1: He trolls touchdown back to throw. What's the fly, David.

274
00:13:28,108 --> 00:13:31,348
Speaker 1: We're all beaming with smiles here. That was early nineties

275
00:13:31,468 --> 00:13:33,788
Speaker 1: Bills Dolphins. And we're going right there because it's our

276
00:13:33,828 --> 00:13:36,268
Speaker 1: Saturday night matchup in primetime. Time for another round of

277
00:13:36,348 --> 00:13:38,508
Speaker 1: ween or we out here's how to work. I'll tee

278
00:13:38,588 --> 00:13:40,348
Speaker 1: up a statement and my co host will tell me

279
00:13:40,388 --> 00:13:42,988
Speaker 1: whether they agree or disagree, and everyone at home can

280
00:13:43,028 --> 00:13:45,308
Speaker 1: play along too, all right. So for years in the

281
00:13:45,428 --> 00:13:48,388
Speaker 1: early nineties, the Bills had the edge over the Dolphins

282
00:13:48,548 --> 00:13:50,948
Speaker 1: in these cold weather games up in Buffalo. Dolphins will

283
00:13:50,948 --> 00:13:53,028
Speaker 1: go up there with Marino and then the Bills would

284
00:13:53,108 --> 00:13:55,388
Speaker 1: end up winning those games with of course, Bruce Smith,

285
00:13:55,468 --> 00:13:58,988
Speaker 1: Daryl Talley, Cornelius been it in the bunch. During Sunday

286
00:13:59,028 --> 00:14:02,628
Speaker 1: Night Football, NBC revealed that the Dolphins had heaters on

287
00:14:02,748 --> 00:14:05,788
Speaker 1: the sideline in Los Ange. Jist Mike McDaniel was asked

288
00:14:05,788 --> 00:14:08,188
Speaker 1: about the weather for the game, and Buffalo on Saturday

289
00:14:08,788 --> 00:14:11,148
Speaker 1: would have something to do with this game. And here's

290
00:14:11,188 --> 00:14:14,068
Speaker 1: what you have to say. The course of the game

291
00:14:14,228 --> 00:14:17,148
Speaker 1: can be influenced, but you know, you still have to

292
00:14:17,188 --> 00:14:21,388
Speaker 1: play in the same temperature and climate or as the

293
00:14:21,508 --> 00:14:23,908
Speaker 1: opposing team. Just one's more used to it than the other.

294
00:14:24,028 --> 00:14:28,588
Speaker 1: So you know, I think that's something that you have

295
00:14:28,708 --> 00:14:33,348
Speaker 1: to be real and up front that you know it's

296
00:14:33,468 --> 00:14:36,868
Speaker 1: going to be cold. But it's also something that no

297
00:14:36,988 --> 00:14:42,188
Speaker 1: one cares. The box score doesn't read asterix it was cold.

298
00:14:45,228 --> 00:14:48,588
Speaker 1: I love that guy, lake effect is in effect. It's

299
00:14:48,588 --> 00:14:50,228
Speaker 1: what they say. I don't know what that means. Lake effect.

300
00:14:50,708 --> 00:14:52,668
Speaker 1: They're saying it's going to be fifteen to twenty degrees

301
00:14:53,108 --> 00:14:56,708
Speaker 1: and potentially up to five inches of snow. McDaniel doesn't

302
00:14:56,748 --> 00:14:59,588
Speaker 1: think it's a big deal, but not everyone is convinced.

303
00:14:59,628 --> 00:15:03,148
Speaker 1: So here's the statement. The twenty twenty two Dolphins are

304
00:15:03,188 --> 00:15:06,988
Speaker 1: not built to win in Buffalo in December, justin that's

305
00:15:07,028 --> 00:15:09,748
Speaker 1: the question we out. I'm out and this is my

306
00:15:09,868 --> 00:15:12,508
Speaker 1: issue with this. It was reported that the Dolphins had

307
00:15:12,628 --> 00:15:16,788
Speaker 1: heaters on their sidelines in California. The Chargers had heaters

308
00:15:16,908 --> 00:15:19,628
Speaker 1: on their sideline too. Why are we not talking about

309
00:15:19,868 --> 00:15:22,708
Speaker 1: both teams had heaters, but we're signaling out in Miami

310
00:15:22,748 --> 00:15:25,868
Speaker 1: and saying they need the heaters when it's cold outside. Yes,

311
00:15:26,028 --> 00:15:28,668
Speaker 1: put heaters on my sideline. I don't care what you need.

312
00:15:28,708 --> 00:15:30,828
Speaker 1: For years, I was like, I'm wearing no sleeves out here,

313
00:15:31,148 --> 00:15:34,108
Speaker 1: doesn't matter to weather. I'm mentally tough. I was freezing

314
00:15:34,428 --> 00:15:36,508
Speaker 1: by time I got to knowing. I had three different

315
00:15:36,548 --> 00:15:38,908
Speaker 1: thermals on the hand palace. Give me my jacket as

316
00:15:38,948 --> 00:15:41,348
Speaker 1: soon as I get to the sideline, do whatever you need,

317
00:15:41,508 --> 00:15:43,748
Speaker 1: go out there and play. Miami's lost back to back

318
00:15:43,788 --> 00:15:46,468
Speaker 1: games on the West Coast. Weather wasn't terrible. They lose

319
00:15:46,508 --> 00:15:48,148
Speaker 1: on Saturday night, it's not going to be because the

320
00:15:48,228 --> 00:15:52,228
Speaker 1: weather she's gonna be. They're playing good football. The Los

321
00:15:52,268 --> 00:15:55,308
Speaker 1: Angeles weather people are one of the most infuriating factions

322
00:15:55,348 --> 00:15:57,828
Speaker 1: of the population. Somebody on our production staff who is

323
00:15:57,868 --> 00:16:00,788
Speaker 1: friendly with LA tried to say to me yesterday, like, well,

324
00:16:00,908 --> 00:16:04,428
Speaker 1: fifty five degrees in Los Angeles is no fifty I

325
00:16:04,548 --> 00:16:07,828
Speaker 1: was the same number whether you're in Minnesota, North Carolina, Florida,

326
00:16:08,108 --> 00:16:10,908
Speaker 1: or California, fifty five or seventy five, And frankly, it's

327
00:16:10,948 --> 00:16:13,428
Speaker 1: not negative five, which it very well could be a buffalo.

328
00:16:13,988 --> 00:16:15,588
Speaker 1: I am in on this. I am in on the

329
00:16:15,628 --> 00:16:18,228
Speaker 1: Dolphins being built, but that's only because it's not like

330
00:16:18,348 --> 00:16:21,148
Speaker 1: the Bills were being built were built for playing in

331
00:16:21,268 --> 00:16:23,788
Speaker 1: Miami in September, because they look cooked in that game.

332
00:16:23,988 --> 00:16:25,868
Speaker 1: Remember it looked like it was they put them on

333
00:16:25,908 --> 00:16:27,868
Speaker 1: the sideline where they just got baked in the sun

334
00:16:28,068 --> 00:16:32,468
Speaker 1: for at three fifty for sixty minutes, and they were cooked.

335
00:16:32,668 --> 00:16:35,148
Speaker 1: The Bills were not prepared for They may have been prepared,

336
00:16:35,188 --> 00:16:36,788
Speaker 1: but they didn't look like they could handle it well

337
00:16:36,828 --> 00:16:38,788
Speaker 1: down the stretch, and that might be the same thing

338
00:16:38,868 --> 00:16:41,268
Speaker 1: for the Dolphins in Buffalo. I just think whether that's

339
00:16:41,308 --> 00:16:43,108
Speaker 1: not like you're all that you do not practice in

340
00:16:43,228 --> 00:16:46,228
Speaker 1: There's reasons why the Patriots went to Miami on a

341
00:16:46,348 --> 00:16:48,428
Speaker 1: Tuesday this week on this year when they were going

342
00:16:48,468 --> 00:16:50,308
Speaker 1: to play them on a Sunday, maybe to enjoy the weather,

343
00:16:50,388 --> 00:16:53,108
Speaker 1: but also to prepare yourself for it. It's like altitude weather.

344
00:16:53,708 --> 00:16:56,108
Speaker 1: It is like that, and I'm gonna say that I

345
00:16:56,228 --> 00:16:58,788
Speaker 1: get lost in that at are. I think they're not

346
00:16:59,228 --> 00:17:01,628
Speaker 1: built right now to do it. I like to do

347
00:17:01,708 --> 00:17:03,748
Speaker 1: an exercise in conversations like this where I like to

348
00:17:03,788 --> 00:17:05,828
Speaker 1: pull up the rosters and see where they went to college,

349
00:17:05,948 --> 00:17:08,668
Speaker 1: Like if they went to cold weather like Rahee Moster Okay,

350
00:17:08,908 --> 00:17:13,388
Speaker 1: pertw guy like West law Fane, Indiana, Jeff Wilson Junior

351
00:17:13,428 --> 00:17:17,068
Speaker 1: in North Texas like those. They're not all Florida and Alabama.

352
00:17:17,188 --> 00:17:19,068
Speaker 1: So like you like to think that maybe that's in

353
00:17:19,148 --> 00:17:21,468
Speaker 1: their blood, that hole in their blood thing is nonsense.

354
00:17:21,548 --> 00:17:23,148
Speaker 1: I was born and raised in Chicago. I live in

355
00:17:23,148 --> 00:17:25,148
Speaker 1: California for sixteen years. You go home to Chicago, step

356
00:17:25,228 --> 00:17:26,388
Speaker 1: out of O'Hara, and you're like I want to die.

357
00:17:26,428 --> 00:17:28,108
Speaker 1: I don't have anything in me right now at all.

358
00:17:28,468 --> 00:17:30,828
Speaker 1: And Josh Allen has been saying this week what you're saying.

359
00:17:30,868 --> 00:17:33,428
Speaker 1: He's saying, you have to train in it. It's not

360
00:17:33,588 --> 00:17:35,788
Speaker 1: you can't get off the plane to get acclimated to

361
00:17:35,868 --> 00:17:37,588
Speaker 1: it and fully used to it like it's your friend.

362
00:17:37,908 --> 00:17:40,388
Speaker 1: You have to train in it week after week after week.

363
00:17:40,588 --> 00:17:44,068
Speaker 1: I think Buffalo does evan advantage. And listen, if Marino

364
00:17:44,188 --> 00:17:45,908
Speaker 1: couldn't get it done, we think too. A tongue of

365
00:17:45,908 --> 00:17:49,148
Speaker 1: Iloa from Hawaii is going to go to Western New York. Yeah,

366
00:17:49,148 --> 00:17:50,428
Speaker 1: that's no a big deal until I see it. I

367
00:17:50,468 --> 00:17:51,748
Speaker 1: don't believe you have to show it to us. You

368
00:17:51,828 --> 00:17:53,908
Speaker 1: played for the Dolphins, like when you go up to

369
00:17:53,948 --> 00:17:56,388
Speaker 1: those Buffalo games. I mean you one year you were there,

370
00:17:56,428 --> 00:17:59,788
Speaker 1: but like when you practice in sixty and seventy, are

371
00:17:59,828 --> 00:18:02,308
Speaker 1: you when you get off the plane, like Kyle sayings

372
00:18:02,508 --> 00:18:04,668
Speaker 1: no doubt about it. But if that was the case,

373
00:18:04,748 --> 00:18:07,388
Speaker 1: than the home team in cold weather games would always win,

374
00:18:07,788 --> 00:18:09,868
Speaker 1: and that doesn't happen, like you get them late December,

375
00:18:10,028 --> 00:18:12,628
Speaker 1: Like did you go because it's different than October November? Yeah,

376
00:18:12,668 --> 00:18:14,748
Speaker 1: and it sucks, Like what you're saying is one hundred

377
00:18:14,788 --> 00:18:16,628
Speaker 1: percent true. When you're in Miami and you're going to

378
00:18:16,748 --> 00:18:19,628
Speaker 1: these teams out of freezing, it sucks saying what you're saying.

379
00:18:19,828 --> 00:18:21,708
Speaker 1: We're in New England and you're going down to Miami

380
00:18:21,748 --> 00:18:24,228
Speaker 1: in late December. It sucks, but we've won. We had

381
00:18:24,308 --> 00:18:27,588
Speaker 1: won games in Miami in late December as well. So

382
00:18:27,788 --> 00:18:29,588
Speaker 1: you still have to go play the game in whichever

383
00:18:29,668 --> 00:18:32,308
Speaker 1: team executes well. Because to your point, there's guys on

384
00:18:32,388 --> 00:18:37,068
Speaker 1: Buffalo's roster that are from Miami. In these different places. Yes,

385
00:18:37,188 --> 00:18:39,068
Speaker 1: you have to practice in it, so mentally you're a

386
00:18:39,108 --> 00:18:41,788
Speaker 1: little bit tougher, but on game day, whoever performs the

387
00:18:41,868 --> 00:18:44,508
Speaker 1: best is going to win the games. I remember doing

388
00:18:44,548 --> 00:18:47,308
Speaker 1: a forty nine ers Packers game in Lambeau playoff game

389
00:18:47,308 --> 00:18:49,668
Speaker 1: and Kaepernick before the game is not wearing any sleeves.

390
00:18:49,788 --> 00:18:52,708
Speaker 1: Guy from Stockton, California comes out there and he just

391
00:18:52,828 --> 00:18:55,308
Speaker 1: tore up the Packers and he was wearing no sleeves

392
00:18:55,348 --> 00:18:57,628
Speaker 1: and zero to three weather, and I'm like, some guys

393
00:18:57,668 --> 00:19:03,028
Speaker 1: just had a heater, Mike Van a jacket. Get to

394
00:19:03,108 --> 00:19:05,748
Speaker 1: the heater when you're on the sideline. Almost possible. All right,

395
00:19:05,908 --> 00:19:09,108
Speaker 1: next one here the Lions. They went again on Sunday

396
00:19:09,308 --> 00:19:10,948
Speaker 1: and I wanted to bring up the play because I'm

397
00:19:10,988 --> 00:19:13,068
Speaker 1: third and seven. They put a three hundred pound tackle

398
00:19:13,148 --> 00:19:15,788
Speaker 1: Penay Sewell in motion and he put the game on

399
00:19:15,908 --> 00:19:19,188
Speaker 1: ice with a completion. So here's the statement. The Lions,

400
00:19:19,908 --> 00:19:23,588
Speaker 1: not the Dallas Cowboys, are the non division leader in

401
00:19:23,628 --> 00:19:25,668
Speaker 1: the NFC that you would least like to see in

402
00:19:25,708 --> 00:19:28,708
Speaker 1: the opening round of the playoffs right now, Jason are

403
00:19:28,748 --> 00:19:31,628
Speaker 1: we here? Are we at and Detroit to have public transportation?

404
00:19:31,668 --> 00:19:34,508
Speaker 1: They call him the fast bus as WiFi on it.

405
00:19:34,828 --> 00:19:37,868
Speaker 1: I'm jumping on the fast Bus and I am rolling

406
00:19:38,108 --> 00:19:40,748
Speaker 1: with Detroit. I am scared to play them right now.

407
00:19:41,068 --> 00:19:44,028
Speaker 1: They are rolling. They are playing really well. Jared Goff

408
00:19:44,268 --> 00:19:47,108
Speaker 1: and those receivers, he's spreading the ball around. We saw

409
00:19:47,268 --> 00:19:49,508
Speaker 1: this past Sunday. We all talked about the Vikings being

410
00:19:49,588 --> 00:19:52,308
Speaker 1: the underdogs, blah blah blah. The Lions went out there,

411
00:19:52,468 --> 00:19:56,748
Speaker 1: they executed long touchdown passes, the DJ character, Jamison Williams

412
00:19:57,028 --> 00:20:00,588
Speaker 1: finding ways to win football games, and the young nucleus

413
00:20:00,748 --> 00:20:05,428
Speaker 1: on defense, Aiden Hudgison, Kirby Jolso, James Houston. These guys

414
00:20:05,548 --> 00:20:09,028
Speaker 1: are winning games really. Dan Campbell, all of these guys,

415
00:20:09,228 --> 00:20:11,708
Speaker 1: we killed their defense early on in the season, and

416
00:20:11,868 --> 00:20:13,828
Speaker 1: now they seem to be coming together and making a

417
00:20:13,948 --> 00:20:16,668
Speaker 1: plays to win games. And shout out, Dan Campbell, you

418
00:20:16,748 --> 00:20:19,108
Speaker 1: did it yesterday, Kyle didn't mind of his voice. None

419
00:20:19,148 --> 00:20:20,988
Speaker 1: of those things over with that, They're getting it done.

420
00:20:21,228 --> 00:20:22,788
Speaker 1: So I'm finding a way right now. I'm scared of

421
00:20:22,828 --> 00:20:25,708
Speaker 1: the Detroit Lions, and they're winning games very close in

422
00:20:25,868 --> 00:20:28,068
Speaker 1: or out, very close. For me, I'm gonna go out.

423
00:20:28,148 --> 00:20:29,748
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with the Cowboys on this one. And

424
00:20:29,828 --> 00:20:32,468
Speaker 1: it's one difference maker for me. It's Michael Parsons. The

425
00:20:32,548 --> 00:20:34,588
Speaker 1: Lions do not have a Michael Parsons on decans. They

426
00:20:34,668 --> 00:20:36,828
Speaker 1: got a lot of great young guys in Hutchinson is

427
00:20:36,828 --> 00:20:40,508
Speaker 1: playing fantastic, But Michael Parsons to me, he jumps out

428
00:20:40,548 --> 00:20:43,508
Speaker 1: of that defensive backfield and just gets after no matter

429
00:20:43,628 --> 00:20:46,588
Speaker 1: his assignment, guy after guy after guy. And then the

430
00:20:46,708 --> 00:20:48,828
Speaker 1: running back's not bad as well. So I'm gonna go

431
00:20:48,908 --> 00:20:50,468
Speaker 1: Cowboys on this one. If I had to play somebody

432
00:20:50,508 --> 00:20:53,188
Speaker 1: this weekend, I'd rather be the Lions than the Cowboys.

433
00:20:53,308 --> 00:20:55,548
Speaker 1: Well that's the thing. Is this weekend or is it

434
00:20:55,628 --> 00:20:57,548
Speaker 1: openly the weekend of the playoffs. I look at this

435
00:20:57,628 --> 00:21:00,388
Speaker 1: if it's this weekend, like like an NC double A tournament,

436
00:21:00,428 --> 00:21:03,148
Speaker 1: and the Cowboys are like this big blue chip to seed,

437
00:21:03,468 --> 00:21:05,388
Speaker 1: like as the band is hanging and all that. They're

438
00:21:05,388 --> 00:21:07,268
Speaker 1: getting little old, but they have them. And then these

439
00:21:07,348 --> 00:21:10,948
Speaker 1: Lions are like Vcu or like George Mason or just

440
00:21:11,068 --> 00:21:14,068
Speaker 1: like Florida Gulf Coast, you know, remember that same Dunk

441
00:21:14,108 --> 00:21:16,748
Speaker 1: City that like I don't. They just have all the

442
00:21:16,868 --> 00:21:19,268
Speaker 1: momentum and the aura and the it and they're like

443
00:21:19,308 --> 00:21:21,228
Speaker 1: clapping to get the ball, like kick get shots up

444
00:21:21,268 --> 00:21:23,028
Speaker 1: fast enough. So I think if it was if it

445
00:21:23,148 --> 00:21:25,508
Speaker 1: was this weekend, I'm gonna say I would rather face

446
00:21:25,588 --> 00:21:27,908
Speaker 1: the Cowboys than the Lions. Just I think that the

447
00:21:28,028 --> 00:21:30,388
Speaker 1: Dan Campbell aura and the belief and the oh my god,

448
00:21:30,428 --> 00:21:32,548
Speaker 1: we're ahead of our schedule and people are talking about us.

449
00:21:32,588 --> 00:21:34,748
Speaker 1: We're the Lions. We actually have a belief. The Cowboys

450
00:21:34,748 --> 00:21:36,668
Speaker 1: are like, people aren't talking about us. I think there's

451
00:21:36,668 --> 00:21:39,068
Speaker 1: a different vibe there. The Michael Parsons thing obviously is

452
00:21:39,148 --> 00:21:41,668
Speaker 1: hugely compelling, and they have some dogs on that team,

453
00:21:41,988 --> 00:21:43,908
Speaker 1: but also Peter. I think it just comes down to

454
00:21:43,988 --> 00:21:47,068
Speaker 1: le golf or Dak and Jared Goff has this like

455
00:21:47,228 --> 00:21:50,268
Speaker 1: weird damaged goods reputation that he shed, and there is

456
00:21:50,308 --> 00:21:53,228
Speaker 1: not more than maybe two NFC quarterbacks who've played better

457
00:21:53,268 --> 00:21:54,908
Speaker 1: than Jared Goff over the last six weeks. He's been

458
00:21:54,948 --> 00:21:56,588
Speaker 1: really good. When to get to it, I think it's

459
00:21:56,668 --> 00:21:59,228
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts and it's Jared Goff, and he's talking about

460
00:21:59,228 --> 00:22:02,148
Speaker 1: the best quarterbacks in the NFC this season. Jalen Hurts

461
00:22:02,508 --> 00:22:05,308
Speaker 1: and then Jared gol Dak Scott. I don't think he's

462
00:22:05,308 --> 00:22:07,068
Speaker 1: played as well as Jared Goff. If you're going one

463
00:22:07,108 --> 00:22:08,828
Speaker 1: on one, I'd rather play the Cowboys, though that's an

464
00:22:09,148 --> 00:22:11,108
Speaker 1: interesting question. They could play each other in the playoffs.

465
00:22:11,188 --> 00:22:14,188
Speaker 1: I think both those teams are gonna be if they

466
00:22:14,228 --> 00:22:16,268
Speaker 1: both make it, both have to play road games because

467
00:22:16,308 --> 00:22:19,348
Speaker 1: it's gonna be hard for the Cowboys to the Eagles,

468
00:22:19,468 --> 00:22:22,668
Speaker 1: and then of course the Lions probably aren't jumping the Vikings,

469
00:22:22,708 --> 00:22:24,508
Speaker 1: so they're both gonna be road teams if they make it.

470
00:22:24,588 --> 00:22:26,228
Speaker 1: Just which team would you rather face? It's a good one.

471
00:22:29,508 --> 00:22:31,988
Speaker 1: It's Tuesday Morning Where Throats Welcome back to the show.

472
00:22:32,028 --> 00:22:34,828
Speaker 1: Our NFL network front office analyst. He's a five time

473
00:22:34,988 --> 00:22:38,388
Speaker 1: NFL Executive of the Year, a three time Super Bowl champion,

474
00:22:38,788 --> 00:22:41,028
Speaker 1: and he's our guy here on Good Morning Football. Let's

475
00:22:41,068 --> 00:22:46,708
Speaker 1: welcome back Scott Poli, Scott Scott, good morning, everybody, Good morning,

476
00:22:48,148 --> 00:22:51,468
Speaker 1: good to have you, Scott. Patriots win last night, they

477
00:22:51,548 --> 00:22:53,308
Speaker 1: beat the Cardinals. What stood out to you in the

478
00:22:53,388 --> 00:22:57,268
Speaker 1: victory for New England, Peter would stood out to me

479
00:22:57,428 --> 00:22:59,468
Speaker 1: was the shift of momentum at the end of the

480
00:22:59,548 --> 00:23:03,588
Speaker 1: second quarter. That's really where the game changed. The Cardinals

481
00:23:03,668 --> 00:23:07,468
Speaker 1: had the ball third and one at the Patriots thirty two,

482
00:23:07,948 --> 00:23:10,428
Speaker 1: go for it, miss it, fourth and one, miss it.

483
00:23:10,908 --> 00:23:13,908
Speaker 1: From that point on, the game really shifted. I understand

484
00:23:13,948 --> 00:23:16,428
Speaker 1: that Kyler Murray was hurt in the third play of

485
00:23:16,468 --> 00:23:19,428
Speaker 1: the game, but really the Cardinals were in it up

486
00:23:19,508 --> 00:23:21,868
Speaker 1: to that point and they had a chance. But what

487
00:23:22,028 --> 00:23:24,068
Speaker 1: happens a lot in games we talk about this is

488
00:23:24,108 --> 00:23:28,348
Speaker 1: that teams lose games, teams don't always win games. And

489
00:23:28,468 --> 00:23:30,228
Speaker 1: what happened here over the course of this was the

490
00:23:30,348 --> 00:23:33,908
Speaker 1: momentum was lost. The Patriots get the ball, put three

491
00:23:33,988 --> 00:23:36,988
Speaker 1: more points on the board before the half, and they

492
00:23:37,068 --> 00:23:40,228
Speaker 1: get the second half kickoff. That changed the dynamic of

493
00:23:40,308 --> 00:23:43,908
Speaker 1: being game entirely. And as you went on throughout the game,

494
00:23:44,308 --> 00:23:46,828
Speaker 1: the Cardinals had some opportunities to get back in the game.

495
00:23:47,268 --> 00:23:50,508
Speaker 1: But d Hop gives up the ball. He didn't, He

496
00:23:50,788 --> 00:23:53,308
Speaker 1: wasn't forced to fumble. The Patriots didn't cause that fumble.

497
00:23:53,548 --> 00:23:56,628
Speaker 1: He gives the ball away, it's a return for a touchdown,

498
00:23:57,228 --> 00:24:02,228
Speaker 1: and Hollywood Brown drops a ball. They unraveled the other thing.

499
00:24:02,308 --> 00:24:05,748
Speaker 1: They went into this game offensively leading NFL in penalties.

500
00:24:05,948 --> 00:24:09,148
Speaker 1: They continued that in the second half with false starts,

501
00:24:09,228 --> 00:24:12,708
Speaker 1: with illegal shifts yesterday. What happened was that shift of

502
00:24:12,788 --> 00:24:18,188
Speaker 1: momentum really changed the football game. Momentum is huge, Scott,

503
00:24:18,268 --> 00:24:21,788
Speaker 1: and last week we actually Jimmy g goes down, Hey, dude,

504
00:24:21,788 --> 00:24:24,468
Speaker 1: to forty nine is bringing another quarterback, and you're telling us, no,

505
00:24:24,628 --> 00:24:27,348
Speaker 1: stick with brock Purty, stick with somebody that has been

506
00:24:27,428 --> 00:24:29,948
Speaker 1: there the entire season. We watched him put on a

507
00:24:30,028 --> 00:24:35,588
Speaker 1: dominating performance thirty five seven victory over tom and the Buccaneers. Scott,

508
00:24:35,628 --> 00:24:38,148
Speaker 1: who else deserves some credit and brock Purty's success and

509
00:24:38,228 --> 00:24:40,028
Speaker 1: what he was able to do coming in as a

510
00:24:40,148 --> 00:24:45,628
Speaker 1: third string quarterback. Jason Well, it starts with brock Purty, right,

511
00:24:45,708 --> 00:24:47,868
Speaker 1: But there were a number of things that came together.

512
00:24:48,188 --> 00:24:51,628
Speaker 1: There was this confluence of things that happened and Tommy

513
00:24:51,708 --> 00:24:54,388
Speaker 1: brock Purty made the place. But I look at this

514
00:24:54,508 --> 00:24:57,028
Speaker 1: team and I look at Kyle Shanahan. I've said this before.

515
00:24:57,228 --> 00:25:00,588
Speaker 1: Kyle to me is as close to Bill Belichick as

516
00:25:00,668 --> 00:25:02,988
Speaker 1: a coach as anybody that I've seen. And a big

517
00:25:03,108 --> 00:25:05,748
Speaker 1: part of that is that Kyle not just smart like Bill,

518
00:25:06,188 --> 00:25:10,308
Speaker 1: but very similarly to Bill. He believes in developing players.

519
00:25:10,348 --> 00:25:14,108
Speaker 1: So he has been developing Purty in this short amount

520
00:25:14,148 --> 00:25:17,468
Speaker 1: of time. And as we watched this game, Purdy did

521
00:25:17,588 --> 00:25:20,068
Speaker 1: all the things that he needed to do to make

522
00:25:20,148 --> 00:25:22,628
Speaker 1: sure that he didn't lose the football game. Kyle put

523
00:25:22,708 --> 00:25:24,548
Speaker 1: him in the right position to make sure he didn't

524
00:25:24,628 --> 00:25:27,828
Speaker 1: lose a game. So this was Brock Purty was Kyle Shanahan.

525
00:25:28,268 --> 00:25:31,188
Speaker 1: It's the offensive coach Bobby Turner, who's been with either

526
00:25:31,308 --> 00:25:35,188
Speaker 1: Mike Shanahan or Kyle Shanahan for the last twenty eight years.

527
00:25:35,508 --> 00:25:37,508
Speaker 1: They know what to do. There's a lot of coaches

528
00:25:37,508 --> 00:25:40,108
Speaker 1: in this league that are very, very smart. Not every

529
00:25:40,188 --> 00:25:43,108
Speaker 1: coach that is smart knows how to teach. Kyle knows

530
00:25:43,148 --> 00:25:45,628
Speaker 1: how to teach, Bobby Turner knows how to teach. So

531
00:25:45,828 --> 00:25:47,548
Speaker 1: to me, at the end of the day, it does

532
00:25:47,628 --> 00:25:49,788
Speaker 1: come down to Brock Purty needing to do what he

533
00:25:49,868 --> 00:25:52,348
Speaker 1: has to do. But I love to see young players

534
00:25:52,468 --> 00:25:57,948
Speaker 1: be developed by good, smart teachers, Absolutely Scott. When Jimmy

535
00:25:57,948 --> 00:26:01,268
Speaker 1: Garoppolo got hurts last week, there was a swell for

536
00:26:01,388 --> 00:26:03,628
Speaker 1: maybe Baker Mayfield could go to the forty nine ers.

537
00:26:03,668 --> 00:26:05,708
Speaker 1: They stuck with party and this is what they got,

538
00:26:05,748 --> 00:26:07,908
Speaker 1: which is great for them. What's also great for the

539
00:26:08,028 --> 00:26:10,828
Speaker 1: Rams is they did go after Baker Mayfield. They bring

540
00:26:10,948 --> 00:26:13,468
Speaker 1: him to LA and he pulls off an unthinkable win

541
00:26:13,788 --> 00:26:15,308
Speaker 1: for the La Rams on Thursday. And I give us

542
00:26:15,308 --> 00:26:18,788
Speaker 1: an assessment, your assessment on what happened after Baker arrived

543
00:26:18,828 --> 00:26:21,508
Speaker 1: in LA on Tuesday evening and then marched down the

544
00:26:21,508 --> 00:26:25,508
Speaker 1: field and won the game for the Rams on Thursday night. Jamie.

545
00:26:25,588 --> 00:26:28,148
Speaker 1: First of all, credit to Baker Mayfield because he was

546
00:26:28,228 --> 00:26:30,388
Speaker 1: ready to play this game. He only had a couple

547
00:26:30,428 --> 00:26:33,188
Speaker 1: of days to prepare. I almost wonder if that was

548
00:26:33,268 --> 00:26:35,868
Speaker 1: actually a blessing in disguise, the fact that he didn't

549
00:26:35,908 --> 00:26:38,788
Speaker 1: have time for distractions. He knew that he had a

550
00:26:38,868 --> 00:26:41,868
Speaker 1: window to get ready. He prepared, he got ready, there

551
00:26:41,908 --> 00:26:46,228
Speaker 1: were fewer distractions. But as you watch this game again,

552
00:26:46,348 --> 00:26:47,908
Speaker 1: I give him a lot of credit for winning. But

553
00:26:48,108 --> 00:26:50,628
Speaker 1: to me, what this was about, was the Raiders losing

554
00:26:50,708 --> 00:26:53,028
Speaker 1: in the game. That old adage that I've repeated so

555
00:26:53,188 --> 00:26:56,708
Speaker 1: many times is that more teams lose games. Unfortunately, what

556
00:26:56,908 --> 00:27:00,188
Speaker 1: happened in this game was that the Raiders found ways

557
00:27:00,228 --> 00:27:02,908
Speaker 1: to lose this football game. You look at those last

558
00:27:02,948 --> 00:27:05,308
Speaker 1: two drives where the Rams score board and put points

559
00:27:05,348 --> 00:27:08,948
Speaker 1: on the board. There were self inflicted wounds. And Max

560
00:27:09,028 --> 00:27:11,468
Speaker 1: Crosby said after the game there was a lot of

561
00:27:11,588 --> 00:27:15,588
Speaker 1: self inflicted stuff. I'll say change his word, but there

562
00:27:15,748 --> 00:27:18,548
Speaker 1: was a lot of self inflicted stuff. There was the roughing,

563
00:27:18,668 --> 00:27:22,028
Speaker 1: there was the interception that was dropped because of a

564
00:27:22,108 --> 00:27:26,468
Speaker 1: holding penalty. To me, again, kudos to the Rams and

565
00:27:26,628 --> 00:27:29,388
Speaker 1: to Baker Mayfield, but this game was more lost by

566
00:27:29,428 --> 00:27:34,388
Speaker 1: the Raiders. And I'll say this about Josh McDaniels. Josh

567
00:27:34,508 --> 00:27:36,508
Speaker 1: is trying to build a program. It's not good to

568
00:27:36,628 --> 00:27:40,028
Speaker 1: change overnight. People are beating Josh up. Josh needs an

569
00:27:40,068 --> 00:27:43,468
Speaker 1: opportunity to get his players in that building so they

570
00:27:43,508 --> 00:27:45,788
Speaker 1: can run things the way that he wants them done.

571
00:27:47,828 --> 00:27:49,708
Speaker 1: It's a song takes guy, and we had high helps

572
00:27:49,748 --> 00:27:51,348
Speaker 1: for both of those teams, the Raiders and the Rams.

573
00:27:51,428 --> 00:27:53,388
Speaker 1: This year they have not panned out, but enough about that.

574
00:27:53,468 --> 00:27:55,788
Speaker 1: Let's talk about some teams that are playing well. Teams

575
00:27:55,828 --> 00:28:00,228
Speaker 1: that were having these alleged rebuilding seasons, and here they

576
00:28:00,308 --> 00:28:03,588
Speaker 1: are in December. They matter. The Lions, the Jets, here

577
00:28:03,668 --> 00:28:06,148
Speaker 1: the Jaguar, the Panthers are going to try to take

578
00:28:06,188 --> 00:28:08,708
Speaker 1: a run at this division. They've surprised everyone. So from

579
00:28:08,708 --> 00:28:12,628
Speaker 1: a front office perspective, from a talent assembly perspective, what

580
00:28:12,828 --> 00:28:15,148
Speaker 1: is the value in the equity and the importance of

581
00:28:15,308 --> 00:28:20,348
Speaker 1: getting to meaningful games in December? What's it du for you, Kyle?

582
00:28:20,388 --> 00:28:23,148
Speaker 1: I think it's really important for young players and young teams,

583
00:28:23,228 --> 00:28:26,428
Speaker 1: and what they're learning right now is how important December is.

584
00:28:26,468 --> 00:28:30,908
Speaker 1: If you're playing important games in December and into early January,

585
00:28:31,268 --> 00:28:34,068
Speaker 1: what you're learning about is the mental and emotional endurance

586
00:28:34,108 --> 00:28:37,028
Speaker 1: that is going to be needed for a very very

587
00:28:37,108 --> 00:28:39,668
Speaker 1: long time and a very long season. So this is

588
00:28:39,668 --> 00:28:42,668
Speaker 1: an important lesson that teams are learning and players are

589
00:28:42,748 --> 00:28:45,388
Speaker 1: learning about the emotional endurance that it's going to take

590
00:28:45,708 --> 00:28:49,828
Speaker 1: if they want to become champions in the future. That's

591
00:28:49,868 --> 00:28:52,188
Speaker 1: the man, Scott Hell. They appreciate you three times. Football

592
00:28:52,268 --> 00:28:54,188
Speaker 1: champ will say next week, my man, appreciate your Scott.

593
00:28:55,548 --> 00:28:56,308
Speaker 1: Thanks everybody,
