1
00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:09,280
Speaker 1: Welcome to NFL Daily, where it's time for a revenge game. Yes,

2
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:13,399
Speaker 1: the revenge of the ambush at Mile High. I'm Greg

3
00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:16,720
Speaker 1: Rosenthal here in the Chris Wesleyan Podcast studio with Jordan

4
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:19,760
Speaker 1: Rodrigue and Patrick Claybon.

5
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:26,799
Speaker 2: Wow, I'm so excited, so excited.

6
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:29,920
Speaker 1: It was a game when you were guys were just

7
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 1: the wee lasses, you know, and lad in your case Patrick,

8
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:39,520
Speaker 1: when Mark Brunell and Natron Means and the Jaguars went

9
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:45,200
Speaker 1: into Denver and stunned the John Elway Terrell Davis Denver

10
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 1: Broncos thirty to twenty seven in the Divisional round, one

11
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:52,519
Speaker 1: of the big upsets, big moments, I would say, of

12
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 1: mid nineties football. And now it's back Jaguars at Broncos

13
00:00:57,480 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 1: is suddenly like a monster game.

14
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, No longer this small franchise in these expanded NFL

15
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 3: where you're like, oh wow, this expansion team, these the

16
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 3: scrappy Jacks. Now they're a big part of this operation

17
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:13,399
Speaker 3: and have been for a long time.

18
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 1: That was their first season. That is outrageous that they

19
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 1: did that in their very first season as an expansion team.

20
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 3: And and folks thought, you know, with a big game

21
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 3: coming up against the Denver Broncos.

22
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 4: Maybe this is a trap against the Jets.

23
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 3: No, Trevor Lawrence had a game that no quarterback has

24
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:30,959
Speaker 3: had in the NFL history, And now after both quarterbacks

25
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 3: lighted up, it's Bo Nicks and Trevor Lawrence.

26
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,560
Speaker 4: In the game of the year in the AFC.

27
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 3: Perhaps the Jacksonville Jaguars at the Denver Broncos, who were

28
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 3: favored by three. It is Kevin Coogler and Moose Johnston

29
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 3: on the call where Rick, I don't even know where

30
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:46,760
Speaker 3: to start.

31
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 4: These teams are red hot right now.

32
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 1: Well, if I was going to get on Fox forgiving

33
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:55,279
Speaker 1: you know, the battle for the NFC South Myers and schlera,

34
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 1: I'll give him a little little like side eye for

35
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 1: given this game Coogler Johnston, I mean, you're saying it

36
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 1: could be one of the games of the year.

37
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 2: That's their number three team, I believe. But this is

38
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 2: what happens.

39
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 4: We got, we got Joe and Greg on Saturday.

40
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, we got different doubleheaders and different things happen. It

41
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 1: doesn't It's not going to change my enjoyment of this game,

42
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 1: especially after I've watched the film and I wanted to

43
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:21,920
Speaker 1: circle back to something we talked about in the in

44
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 1: the room in the newsroom on Sunday. I've now double

45
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 1: confrom first I checked the PFF scores and now I've

46
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,360
Speaker 1: watched with my own eyes bow Knicks.

47
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 2: He played well last week, very well.

48
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,080
Speaker 4: I'm glad several believe.

49
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 2: I mean you need to see it with your own eyes.

50
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean you were telling me he was playing

51
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 1: well in the week's leading up and it was like that,

52
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: you know that commander's game.

53
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 5: And I said he was playing was the other one.

54
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 5: Also in my community, we believe women. I guess that

55
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:54,399
Speaker 5: doesn't apply to my right Greg.

56
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 4: Greg had to check the folks.

57
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 2: I had to watch it.

58
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:00,120
Speaker 1: He was sensational. You get both that Bonnix and on

59
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,799
Speaker 1: Peyton Combo. Every week you're winning the Super Bowl this.

60
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 5: I do have a request to make Greg a feeling

61
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 5: a little that you owe me.

62
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 6: Can I have this game?

63
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 2: Oh well, you've already gotten your number one game.

64
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:15,640
Speaker 6: You gave me that game. You gave me that game.

65
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:19,360
Speaker 1: Patrick's involved, Shook's involved. I mean, you can't just hog

66
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 1: it off for yourself.

67
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 2: We'll see. I haven't thought about it.

68
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:26,640
Speaker 5: This is the This is a total like Unstoppable Force

69
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 5: meets immovable object game for both for both teams, because

70
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,640
Speaker 5: the Jaguars are one of the most explosive offenses in

71
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 5: the league right now, and Trevor Lawrence seems like a

72
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 5: completely different version of Trevor Lawrence going against one of

73
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 5: the top three defenses in the NFL right now, and

74
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 5: certainly a veteran one, a savvy one, one that will

75
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 5: pressure him, one that will try to turn him into

76
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 5: pumpkin Trevor Lawrence once again. And also on the other side,

77
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 5: a Broncos offense that, while not the most explosive in

78
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 5: the league, has a quarterback playing like way up to

79
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 5: his potential, has put together a most complete game on

80
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 5: offense of their season. Is very very dangerous, especially against

81
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 5: his own coverage and going up against a Jaguars defense

82
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 5: that has been very respectable all season as well as

83
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 5: taking the ball away in aggressive fashion through most of

84
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:21,279
Speaker 5: the year, especially with Devin Lloyd back in the mix.

85
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 4: It's got everything.

86
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 3: It's got the play caller matchup because Liam Cohen is

87
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:28,159
Speaker 3: super dialed in. Of course, Sean Payton in that performance

88
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,719
Speaker 3: against the Green Bay Packers was clearly like he saw

89
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 3: the way bo was going all right.

90
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 4: Playbook out the window, all right, ten.

91
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 6: Training wheels up he did.

92
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:39,479
Speaker 3: But you know, you saw, and I think we can't

93
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 3: necessarily extrapolate a whole lot from the Jets game where

94
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 3: that was that was Liam and Trevor Lawrence doing stuff.

95
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 3: Occasionally you had three passes to the running backs out

96
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,719
Speaker 3: of the backfield that go for six, where it's like,

97
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,839
Speaker 3: all right, the Jets are woeful right now, and you

98
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:58,279
Speaker 3: know Trev's dialed in, But how do you deploy Cirtan

99
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 3: and Moss and tall know who funk who I think

100
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 3: is a big part of if the Broncos can win

101
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 3: this game. He's gonna have to play well because when

102
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:10,840
Speaker 3: this Jacks group is fully operational, everybody's back other than Basialtoton.

103
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:12,480
Speaker 3: So it's gonna be a lot of ETN and this

104
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 3: one because students just had finger surgery. But in how

105
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 3: you deploy your talent when Parker Washington, BTJ Jacobe Myers,

106
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 3: like everybody's there, there's just so many options for Liam.

107
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 1: Income Yeah, I think that's so key in this game

108
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 1: because obviously the Denver's strengths are really strong up up

109
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 1: front and how they are in third downs and how

110
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 1: they are in the red zone. But they are a

111
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:38,159
Speaker 1: team you can move the ball on. I mean, the

112
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 1: Packers started that game with sixth straight scoring drives. And

113
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:43,479
Speaker 1: they're a team I sometimes struggle with because they don't

114
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 1: look like the best defense you've ever seen. Except when

115
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:50,119
Speaker 1: they're playing like terrible teams. They beat them down harder

116
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 1: than any other team we've ever seen. But against good teams,

117
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:54,840
Speaker 1: they'll give you some and they'll take it back. You

118
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 1: can focus on our guy, Riley Moss. That's a guy

119
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 1: that will get thrown at a little bit. Drake Greenlaw

120
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 1: in coverage, I think is a guy who you want

121
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,279
Speaker 1: to throw at, certainly when you can get one of

122
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 1: their linebackers kind of covering. Alex Singleton's good, but also

123
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:15,359
Speaker 1: he's another guy. Riley Moss, though, had an answer I

124
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 1: don't know if you saw this on Instagram this week, uh,

125
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 1: saying he's lactose intolerant when you when you're trying to

126
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:22,279
Speaker 1: throw it in his area.

127
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:25,839
Speaker 2: You don't like that one.

128
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 4: I here's the thing.

129
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:31,279
Speaker 3: I think maybe the lactose intolerant could be related to

130
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 3: the cheese and related to yellow flags that have been

131
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 3: thrown at Riley Moss, because there were a couple last

132
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 3: week where I'm I'm with Riley.

133
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:40,839
Speaker 4: He is being unfairly Toak.

134
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,480
Speaker 6: You were ready to make the kickstarter because.

135
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,839
Speaker 3: We've seen guys get dragged down with one hand. Ley

136
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,600
Speaker 3: Moss lays a finger on somebody. That flag is coming out,

137
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 3: and it's like he's got his arms out, and I understand, like.

138
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,480
Speaker 4: Justice for Riley Moss, you know.

139
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:58,600
Speaker 1: I think that's what I think he was getting at

140
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 1: the other thing, that that that the officials here, they're

141
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:03,559
Speaker 1: they're seeing color.

142
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 2: They're not colorblind. No, I mean when it comes to

143
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:08,840
Speaker 2: Riley Moss.

144
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 4: And Riley Moss has every right, every right to field

145
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 4: that way.

146
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 5: Dan.

147
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 1: I love though that the Jaguars like the Jaguars offense

148
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 1: now that it has so many different elements and now

149
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 1: that they are as healthy, and that Trevor Lawrence game

150
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 1: yet came against the Jets, but it came because he's

151
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 1: willing and is so confident coming off of multiple awesome performances.

152
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 1: These two guys. I think Lawrence is coming off the

153
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 1: best streak of his career. Nicks is coming off the

154
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 1: best game of his career. And yet if you look

155
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 1: at the numbers, and I kind of agree with the numbers,

156
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 1: both these teams defenses are better than their offenses. Like

157
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 1: Jaguars are a top ten DVOA team right now. They've

158
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 1: been on a roll, and the Broncos, as good as

159
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 1: they were offensively last week, it's been the defense that's

160
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 1: carrying them. So it's a it's a really good test

161
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 1: for these two young quarterbacks.

162
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, I love it, And and bo Nix is pretty

163
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 5: solid against the blitz. I think they've got some really

164
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 5: good outlets for him. That shot Peyton just historically has

165
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 5: always built into his offense. The way that the Jaguars

166
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 5: like to mitigate pressure and confuse defensive backs, which you'll

167
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 5: see a ton of in this game, is they use

168
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 5: motion on like over seventy percent of their pass plays.

169
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 5: They also vacillate between their eleven personnel and twelve personnel.

170
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 5: So two tight ends and two tight ends is their

171
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 5: preferred like heavier package that they're in. And they've got

172
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 5: some obviously with Breton Strange being the lead the lead

173
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 5: canine there, like.

174
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 6: They've they've got a lot of available.

175
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:36,439
Speaker 5: Formation changes and mixed looks that they can throw at

176
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 5: a defense that is going to play them really really aggressively,

177
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 5: and like I said, try.

178
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 2: To mess up Trevor Lawrence lead canine.

179
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:43,839
Speaker 6: You went with, I don't want to say alpha dog.

180
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,959
Speaker 2: I feel like that's a cliche, right, lead canine, like you.

181
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:50,320
Speaker 5: Know, lead canine. And also that's a less that's a

182
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 5: less sneadism.

183
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 6: By the way.

184
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:55,200
Speaker 5: Interesting, Yeah, it sounds better, I guess when it's coming

185
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 5: from a general manager of an NFL team.

186
00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 2: And not from everything sounds better from Greg did even.

187
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 6: Trust to watch tape?

188
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 3: The the biologists who actually coined the term alpha did

189
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:12,320
Speaker 3: come out and note that within the Wolf hierarchy, that

190
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 3: was all wrong.

191
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 4: He should not have not have done that.

192
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 6: So people running around, they're more collaborators.

193
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 3: They have a functional society. Yes, it's not organized from

194
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:22,320
Speaker 3: the top down.

195
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 6: It was Wow, could have really changed a lot.

196
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 4: Well.

197
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 3: I think the people who lost that nomenclature would have

198
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 3: just went with some other pseudoscience to benefit their worldview.

199
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 2: This, uh, this is amazing.

200
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:39,080
Speaker 1: All of that information is a big moment for Anthony

201
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 1: Campanile going up against Don Payton. Hasn't got a lot

202
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 1: of pop, but has been pretty creative in what he's done,

203
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 1: and it's a real test for for that defense. He's healthier.

204
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 1: I really do think the Jaguars just having more guys

205
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 1: available is quietly a huge part of why they're playing

206
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 1: so well. I mean, if you think about it, at

207
00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 1: different points of the year, they were without Brian Thomas, junior,

208
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,679
Speaker 1: Arker Washington, he obviously didn't have Jacobe Myers, Breton Strange.

209
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 1: That's that's a lot of more players and a couple

210
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 1: of their interior starting offensive lineman.

211
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 2: So they're all out there right now.

212
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 1: Trevon Walker is out there and looking one hundred percent

213
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 1: again finally, and Devin Lloyd. And this is a conference game,

214
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 1: and so it's big for both teams, but especially for

215
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 1: the Jaguars, who are one up on the Texans. And

216
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:28,079
Speaker 1: I did do some some stimulations and whatnot because the

217
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:31,200
Speaker 1: Jaguars and Texans don't play each other. But in a

218
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 1: scenario where the Jaguars lose this game and the Texans

219
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 1: win out and they tie, the Texans, you know, do

220
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 1: win that tiebreaker, that they would win the division even

221
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,320
Speaker 1: though they both would be five and one inside the division.

222
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:47,079
Speaker 1: It's this conference game that would be the difference than

223
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 1: losing this game.

224
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 2: To the Broncos.

225
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 4: And that's like four tiebreakers down right, how many from.

226
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:54,960
Speaker 1: The well you go you go head to head, so

227
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 1: they split, you go division and then you go conference games.

228
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 1: Then it's common opponents. After that, that's where it's beyond

229
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 1: my pay grade. And you got to just check the

230
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:05,559
Speaker 1: websites that you can trust.

231
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 6: That's good info. But in order to believe you, I

232
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 6: think I'm gonna look that up.

233
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 4: I mean, you have to go to the PFF.

234
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 1: I think it's fair that you always want to have

235
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 1: your eyes on a game before you just are are

236
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 1: rolling with that assessment.

237
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 3: You know a game that some of us were guilty

238
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 3: of having our eyes on despite not being assigned it.

239
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:26,199
Speaker 4: Myself highlighting in that was.

240
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:29,560
Speaker 3: Philip Rivers playing against the Seattle Seahawks. And we get

241
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 3: Philip Rivers in a game where we won't have to

242
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:33,079
Speaker 3: ignore any other game.

243
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:35,720
Speaker 4: Because it's on Monday night football in prime time.

244
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:38,560
Speaker 3: We're the San Francisco forty nine ers are six point

245
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:42,440
Speaker 3: favorites at the Indianapolis Colts. The over under is forty

246
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 3: six and a half Jordan, they're playing at home. Philip

247
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 3: Rivers has one game under his belt. What's it going

248
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:50,080
Speaker 3: to show us here on Monday night football?

249
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:52,080
Speaker 6: Well, I thought he played fine.

250
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 5: Like it's not ideal It's not an ideal situation, obviously,

251
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 5: but I thought he, you know, executed the offense fine,

252
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 5: and and that defense played it's hard out and really

253
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:04,599
Speaker 5: gave him, gave him a shot. What helps him is

254
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 5: that San Francisco cannot pressure. It can't get pressure. So

255
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 5: I think there's there's an okay chance that we see

256
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 5: Philip Rivers like last this entire game again.

257
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:16,560
Speaker 6: The layers of this, it's a low bar.

258
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 5: I mean, I think everyone's kind of worried about the

259
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 5: forty four year old out there on an NFL football field.

260
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 1: Don't you think there's a scenario where he does look

261
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 1: better each week that he plays.

262
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 2: I think.

263
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:31,440
Speaker 5: So it's a totally different position, obviously, But I saw

264
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:34,200
Speaker 5: this with Eric Weddle, when Eric Weddle came back in

265
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:38,199
Speaker 5: again off the couch, and it advanced and age relative

266
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 5: to an NFL player, and it took like a couple

267
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:44,559
Speaker 5: of weeks, and then he was the green dot calling

268
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 5: the game for the Rams and.

269
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 6: The Super Bowl.

270
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 5: So it's I'm not saying it's the same trajectory, but

271
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 5: it's it is like and obviously a different position, but

272
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:53,839
Speaker 5: you do need to get the wake those muscles back

273
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 5: up and wake the synapses back up, frankly to make

274
00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,080
Speaker 5: those decisions as quickly as as we know he can.

275
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 5: I like, there's little like connective tissue layers to this.

276
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 5: Gus Bradley is in San Francisco right now and he's

277
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 5: like buddies with Philip Rivers, and they were on the

278
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 5: phone and he was asking this is reported out of

279
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 5: San Francisco's great beat over there. They were on the

280
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 5: phone and Philip Rivers like, yeah, I'm thinking about doing it.

281
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:22,439
Speaker 5: Gus Brad's like, yeah, you should do it. Kyle Shanahan

282
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 5: is in the room, intervenes, He's like, yeah, you should

283
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 5: do it, and then realizes they've got Philip Rivers a

284
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 5: week after and he said, no, no, actually you shouldn't

285
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:30,840
Speaker 5: do it.

286
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:33,440
Speaker 6: So I love that. I thought that was pretty great.

287
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:36,680
Speaker 1: I love that too, and I love for Phil the

288
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:39,720
Speaker 1: idea that he could be protected well. This week has

289
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 1: a pretty big difference, playing in Seattle and then playing

290
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 1: at home against this forty nine ers team whose best

291
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 1: two pass rushers are definitely Cleland Farrell and Keon White.

292
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 1: The last couple of weeks, which is crazy, Bryce Huff

293
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:54,680
Speaker 1: should be in theory, but just the last couple of weeks.

294
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 2: He hasn't been productive.

295
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:58,680
Speaker 1: The problem is there's a million injuries and the Colts

296
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 1: have been dealing with this all season, really down the stretch.

297
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:05,559
Speaker 1: But on the offensive line, specifically Braydon Smith, their right tackle,

298
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 1: is not coming back. He is now out for the season,

299
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:10,840
Speaker 1: and so that's a disappointment. And then Bernard Raymond, who

300
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 1: got hurt in that game in Seattle, their left tackle,

301
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 1: who is hurt during the game. We don't know his

302
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 1: Status's a Monday night game, so it's early in terms

303
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 1: of practice reports. We have to assume Sauce Gardner's not

304
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 1: coming back until he does. The same is true for

305
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 1: Tarvarius Ward. I do have a feeling to Forrest Buckner

306
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 1: could make his return this week. He did get some

307
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 1: practices in before last week's game. They didn't activate him,

308
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 1: so he might come back. But that's a lot of

309
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 1: your very best players shorthanded that the Cults won't have,

310
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 1: and especially if they're without their left if they're down

311
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 1: both their tackles, that does worry me for Big Phill.

312
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I don't know how how much this defense

313
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 5: can continue to hold up in terms of Indianapolis, because

314
00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 5: they've been they started out great and lou An Arumo

315
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 5: has as I think, gotten the most out of a

316
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 5: genuinely talented group of players, and they're getting better pressure

317
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 5: than they have, but I don't know how much can

318
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 5: actually affect the way that this forty nine ers offense

319
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 5: is playing right now.

320
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 1: It's like the best, maybe the best coaching matchup of

321
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 1: the week because I think lou Ana Roumo can come

322
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 1: up with a designer game plan. It doesn't always work,

323
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 1: and sometimes they look bad, but sometimes they hit, and

324
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 1: they were playing with their hair on fire last week.

325
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 1: And Kyle versus this indie defense, you never know. They

326
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 1: are eleventh right now in Dboa. Their defensive efficiency overall,

327
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 1: like that's pretty good considering everything that's going on. And

328
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 1: so it's a big time test against a forty nine

329
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 1: ers offense that is rolling and might be without Ricky Piersall. Unfortunately,

330
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 1: even though he came back and finished that game out

331
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 1: the way Kyle Shanan was talking, it sounds like he's

332
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 1: hurt again. So that would be a big loss for them.

333
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 1: But there's still a lot to deal.

334
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 3: With and they we have seen some success from coach

335
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 3: lou against the tree, but it's the trunk I'm agree

336
00:15:57,280 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 3: at this one, and you know the EU.

337
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 5: I do want to say before we go to the

338
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 5: next game. When I'm looking at the passing the advanced

339
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 5: passing stats on next Gen, I'm like, tell me you're

340
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 5: old without telling me you're old with Philip Rivers because

341
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 5: he's got the lowest time to throw of qualifying quarterbacks

342
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 5: at two point three six seconds, and also the by

343
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 5: far the lowest.

344
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 6: Play action rate. So it's like, get the ball out

345
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 6: quick and please, for the love of God to turn.

346
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it was just phil I mean a lot

347
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 1: of it was under center, some of it was shotgunned. Yea,

348
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 1: was him knowing what he was going to do before

349
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 1: the play and usually making the right decision, which is

350
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 1: why they didn't have like a ton of three outs.

351
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 4: Or anything like that.

352
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, you could see it all game.

353
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 5: But it's just funny looking at those stats and being like,

354
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 5: oh yeah, I can point out the old.

355
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 3: Guy and highlighted in some of the worst tape of

356
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 3: the game where Josh Downs wins with the lone of

357
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 3: scrimmage calls for the ball, not knowing that the ball

358
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 3: has already been thrown. Oh yeah, you ready, the ball's

359
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 3: coming out Josh gotta get ready for it. It's time

360
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 3: for the Sunday I presented by Toyota. Let's go places.

361
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:05,359
Speaker 3: The New England Patriots are on the road at the

362
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:10,200
Speaker 3: Baltimore Ravens, who are favored by three because Vegas likes action.

363
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:13,200
Speaker 3: Mike to Rico and Chris Collinsworth are on the call.

364
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:15,719
Speaker 3: Of course, there's going to be a Sims. There's going

365
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:18,719
Speaker 3: to be a florial. There's a whole pregame experience that

366
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:21,680
Speaker 3: we you know, of course, are podcasting during that time,

367
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:23,360
Speaker 3: so we generally missed that. So you guys are gonna

368
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 3: have to let us know how that goes. But it's

369
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:29,680
Speaker 3: Drake May. It's a healthier Lamar Jackson. How do you

370
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 3: feel about this football game? Even though we've already.

371
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:36,639
Speaker 5: Talked Lamar Jackson, who does have the fluid constantly constantly.

372
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:41,679
Speaker 1: I need Lamar to like, you know, teen people, you

373
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:43,479
Speaker 1: have them in your life, maybe even in your family.

374
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 1: I do at least like they're just some people that

375
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:47,560
Speaker 1: are more sick than others. Lamar is one of those

376
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 1: people apparently, although always.

377
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 4: At the gas station. Maybe it's like you know, like

378
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:54,200
Speaker 4: hand sanitized.

379
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:57,359
Speaker 3: After the pump, Like don't like Okay, so I'm getting

380
00:17:57,440 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 3: sick a little sick.

381
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 1: But he not only is feeling better, he is telling

382
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:04,400
Speaker 1: everyone he's feeling better.

383
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:07,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, I believe I told you guys early on in

384
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:10,760
Speaker 4: the week I was feeling better, you know, like Thursday. Oh,

385
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:12,359
Speaker 4: but I guess you guys have to see it to

386
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 4: believe it. I love that I was. We dispensed with

387
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:16,920
Speaker 4: the fiction that he.

388
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:20,400
Speaker 5: Was right before he's gone on a Wednesday with the flu,

389
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:21,960
Speaker 5: like that.

390
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:25,720
Speaker 1: Was from postgame. And he did have some really good runs.

391
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:28,359
Speaker 1: I thought he did two weeks ago too, but maybe

392
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:30,679
Speaker 1: they were even better last week. Like it's hard to

393
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:36,440
Speaker 1: judge explosiveness. He's still more explosive as a runner hurt

394
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 1: than almost any you know runner out there. And he

395
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:42,360
Speaker 1: had a number of really nice throws last week, even

396
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 1: though he only had twelve attempts, Like three or four

397
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:47,800
Speaker 1: of them were absolute dimes. And I think they're favored

398
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 1: in this game because the numbers will tell you this

399
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 1: is a bad Patriots defense.

400
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:54,879
Speaker 4: It just it just is.

401
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 1: It's the worst, one of the worst red zone defenses

402
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 1: of the last ten years, fourth worst of the last

403
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 1: ten years in terms of if you get the ball,

404
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 1: you know, near the goal line they are going to cave.

405
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:07,920
Speaker 1: It's been one of the worst rush defenses in the

406
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,520
Speaker 1: league for the last six weeks or so. In the

407
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 1: Ravens running game has been better. So I kind of

408
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 1: like the offenses in this game.

409
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 2: Patrick.

410
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 1: I know Baltimore's defense has been playing better, but it

411
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:22,679
Speaker 1: feels like it's the battle of the explosive play teams,

412
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:25,199
Speaker 1: like who can get more explosive plays. I think it

413
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 1: could be a lot of fun because I think it

414
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:28,359
Speaker 1: could be a game with a lot of possessions where

415
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:30,880
Speaker 1: there are some three and outs, but there's also some

416
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:34,399
Speaker 1: two play seventy yard drives from both these teams, and

417
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:37,200
Speaker 1: I think the Ravens will be up for like a shootout.

418
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:39,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, this Patriots team said it for weeks.

419
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 3: It is reminiscent of some of these Ravens teams where

420
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:46,199
Speaker 3: they got home run hitters. You know, the comeback is

421
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:50,120
Speaker 3: in play for the opponent because when they're constantly hitting

422
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:53,639
Speaker 3: home runs, like Kishan Budi catching touchdowns on upwards of

423
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 3: twenty percent of his reception. I'm good Trevion the franchise

424
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:01,960
Speaker 3: history record holder in fifty yards touchdowns just nine games

425
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 3: into his career, where he's actually playing and starting in

426
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:07,960
Speaker 3: these games where it's going to be back and forth,

427
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:10,680
Speaker 3: I think they're going to go up and down the field.

428
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 3: I have wondered, you know, because statistically, you keep seeing

429
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:15,959
Speaker 3: the Ravens pop up near the top of these categories

430
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:19,919
Speaker 3: in rushing defense in past EPA, where it's like, how

431
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:24,199
Speaker 3: are they doing this? It's like you're having to materialize

432
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:26,560
Speaker 3: the pass rush in some games where I don't know

433
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:29,200
Speaker 3: if it's if you're going to be able to apply

434
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 3: the pass rush that we saw against Burrow and the

435
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 3: Bengals every single week. But the Patriots banged up up front.

436
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 3: Perhaps you get the Kyle van neu revenge game, and

437
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 3: there's some calls for optimism, but I see nothing but

438
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:43,120
Speaker 3: scorefest Jordan.

439
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 4: That's all I can say.

440
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:46,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think it has potential for that. I am

441
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:48,879
Speaker 5: curious though, because you would think when you look at this,

442
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:51,640
Speaker 5: it's who gets the ball last, that's who wins essentially.

443
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 5: So with that in mind, I'm curious if the Patriots

444
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 5: adjust and learn from a little bit of what happened

445
00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 5: last week and they deploy a little bit more ball

446
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:05,400
Speaker 5: control in a expert fashion or in a situational fashion

447
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:08,719
Speaker 5: less so a product of the defense that they're playing,

448
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:11,639
Speaker 5: and I feel like that's the way playing keep away

449
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:13,400
Speaker 5: has to be the way that you win this game.

450
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:15,679
Speaker 5: It only works if you can run the ball luckily

451
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 5: for them. Even though they haven't run the ball well

452
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 5: luckily for them, the Patriots run defense is certainly not

453
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 5: up to par.

454
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 1: Right, But they they're a hard team to figure out

455
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:29,160
Speaker 1: because they change depending on the week. Like they're they're

456
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 1: rushing attack the last few weeks, and it granted one

457
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:34,960
Speaker 1: was you know before the bye, has been better. I

458
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 1: think Ramandre has looked pretty good. Trevion Henderson's success rate

459
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:41,680
Speaker 1: like has gone up. I just think they're a team

460
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:44,399
Speaker 1: that really misses Milton Williams and like every team has

461
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 1: a million injuries, but the Patriots are a thinner team

462
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:50,879
Speaker 1: where the drop off is significant, and they only play

463
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:54,920
Speaker 1: their front four like the Eagles do. Those front four

464
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:56,639
Speaker 1: aren't as good and so I think you're seeing some

465
00:21:56,760 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 1: wear and tear from Harold Landry in calevon jason'sif those

466
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,439
Speaker 1: guys were at the center of a lot of the

467
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 1: best Bills plays last week, where they're not keeping their

468
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:09,480
Speaker 1: rush lanes and they're not really creating much of a

469
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 1: pass rush without Milton Williams, and so there's opportunities for

470
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 1: the other team. And yet I still have a lot

471
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 1: of faith in Drake May to bounce back, even if

472
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:22,199
Speaker 1: the Ravens defense has been playing better. The Ravens defense

473
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 1: got a couple of key players back last week, Patrick

474
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:27,960
Speaker 1: ar Darius Washington safety who played quite well for them

475
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:32,480
Speaker 1: last year, and then ta Various Robinson that their names

476
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 1: are just close enough to mess me up. But he

477
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:36,959
Speaker 1: had a big play early in that game too. So

478
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:39,040
Speaker 1: they are getting some guys who have been in the

479
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 1: system before and played a lot of snaps for them

480
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:43,480
Speaker 1: in getting healthy there down the stretch run. And you

481
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 1: could say this is a revenge game, not just for

482
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:50,400
Speaker 1: Kyle van Noy, but how about for John Harbaugh against

483
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 1: Mike Rabel some big wins over them in the past,

484
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 1: including that playoff game whenever that was I don't remember

485
00:22:57,880 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen, twenty twenty.

486
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it was Lamar's first playoff game where

487
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:04,640
Speaker 3: things with the things.

488
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:05,159
Speaker 4: With the other ree.

489
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 1: They also had some beef at the time where like

490
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 1: the next year the Titans beat up on them and

491
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:12,399
Speaker 1: they played a couple of times. There was there was

492
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:15,399
Speaker 1: some stuff between them back in the day. Just two

493
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say it, Alpha Males and John Harva two

494
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:22,760
Speaker 1: lead k nines.

495
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:25,520
Speaker 2: Should we take a break?

496
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 1: Let's take a break excited that these games are so

497
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:33,199
Speaker 1: good that Pittsburgh Detroit didn't even make it in the

498
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 1: first block of the strip.

Speaker 2: That's where I'm at right now.

518
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:47,119
Speaker 1: Everything's great, Everything's always great.

519
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:52,040
Speaker 2: Steelers Lions. It's the Jim Nansen Tony Room.

520
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:55,960
Speaker 3: Yes, and they the Lions are favored by seven.

521
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:59,200
Speaker 2: Wow. I haven't looked at these lines yet.

522
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 3: Dan Campbell is calling the place, and they've been explosive

523
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:06,400
Speaker 3: on offense. They've looked great. The Pittsburgh Steelers. A couple

524
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:10,160
Speaker 3: of weeks after fire, Tomlin Chance in the Catburg seat

525
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:13,720
Speaker 3: in the AFC North and yeah, we get a chance

526
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:15,639
Speaker 3: to see this over under at forty nine and a

527
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:19,919
Speaker 3: half where Jordan do Aaron Rodgers and the Pittsburgh Steels

528
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 3: keep this hot streak going.

529
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:25,760
Speaker 5: Man, it would be hard to see Detroit kind of

530
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:26,400
Speaker 5: fall apart.

531
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:30,120
Speaker 6: I think because they are so well cooked, because we.

532
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:33,119
Speaker 1: Love them, we love them because they're America, because they

533
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:33,960
Speaker 1: want them to do well.

534
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 5: You want them to be in pain, and they seem

535
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 5: they're just hurting right now.

536
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:39,359
Speaker 6: Guys.

537
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 5: They're they're having trouble consistently getting pressure. Outside of Aiden Hutchinson,

538
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 5: They're decimated in their secondary Throughout their secondary and they

539
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:52,639
Speaker 5: are having trouble containing explosive plays. They the Steelers are

540
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:57,119
Speaker 5: running the ball pretty well these days, they're not faring

541
00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 5: well against as well as they want to against the run.

542
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:03,280
Speaker 5: This on paper, if you're taking the last week or

543
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:05,679
Speaker 5: so or a couple of weeks of Steelers and the

544
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 5: last couple of weeks of Lions, on paper, it does

545
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:10,840
Speaker 5: feature of the Pittsburgh It does favor the Pittsburgh Steelers, and.

546
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:13,280
Speaker 2: Yet they're a touchdown underdog.

547
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:14,280
Speaker 6: Col guys at quarterback.

548
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:18,159
Speaker 1: That's a huge That's a huge number to me. It

549
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:21,200
Speaker 1: speaks to a couple of things that I do find interesting.

550
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 1: You know, when you're talking about you know the numbers

551
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:25,840
Speaker 1: in Vegas and all that, which is that do you

552
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:30,119
Speaker 1: value what you've seen lately or do you value the

553
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:32,679
Speaker 1: whole course of the season. And it's like it's a

554
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:35,879
Speaker 1: push and pull when evaluating these teams, coaches look at

555
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 1: the last four weeks. I tend to think that is

556
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:41,440
Speaker 1: what's more important. And I think the Steelers' offense has

557
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:44,640
Speaker 1: shown signs of I don't know if they've been transformed,

558
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:47,359
Speaker 1: but playing their best football now. And this is a

559
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:51,479
Speaker 1: really positive matchup against the Lions defense that I believe

560
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:54,399
Speaker 1: is twenty ninth in the in the last month or so,

561
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:57,400
Speaker 1: uh in terms of EPA per play allowed, Like they're

562
00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:00,440
Speaker 1: just not a good defense lately, and so I kind

563
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:02,440
Speaker 1: of like this this one being a score fest as well.

564
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:06,879
Speaker 3: Indoors we got we got breaking news from NFL insider

565
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:10,560
Speaker 3: JJ Watt, who has some insight into the hell status

566
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:15,320
Speaker 3: of Little brother says he's quote working through it was

567
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:18,680
Speaker 3: I don't know if that necessarily that is a lot

568
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:21,960
Speaker 3: of confidence regarding t J watts status, which I think

569
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:27,240
Speaker 3: is huge here because the this this most recent edition

570
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:31,320
Speaker 3: of the two tongue of Ioloa Miami Dolphins, didn't really

571
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:35,160
Speaker 3: allow me a chance to evaluate how the Pittsburgh Steelers

572
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 3: pass defense was. Okay, I understand the last four weeks

573
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:42,920
Speaker 3: a part of that evaluation that version of the Dolphins

574
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:47,879
Speaker 3: not necessarily inspiring the threat uh that jg And and

575
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:52,440
Speaker 3: JMO and aman rah Ejamier Gibbs do where seven makes

576
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:54,240
Speaker 3: sense to me, seven makes perfect sense.

577
00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:57,280
Speaker 1: So yeah, Week twelve was the cutoff where they're twenty

578
00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:00,520
Speaker 1: ninth in EPA per play the Lions and they're first

579
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:02,760
Speaker 1: in points by the way this season just like flat

580
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:04,200
Speaker 1: out points points.

581
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 6: Per game someone tell Baker Mayfield.

582
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:11,720
Speaker 1: First, I guess Jared Goff's not letting his team down.

583
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:13,480
Speaker 2: He really is.

584
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:15,280
Speaker 3: He's pointing the fingers at the guy that celebrate in

585
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:16,160
Speaker 3: touchdown he just threw.

586
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:17,480
Speaker 4: That's who Jared pointing.

587
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:23,000
Speaker 1: Jared Goff has responded to being dismissed from QB Island

588
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:26,560
Speaker 1: by playing his best on the football of the season

589
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:29,040
Speaker 1: over the last month. Even when they were they've lost

590
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:32,440
Speaker 1: some of these games. I think he is playing outstanding

591
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:34,879
Speaker 1: and so that's that's a good point Patrick about the

592
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:37,880
Speaker 1: Steelers defense. It's more of the Steelers offense, which I

593
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:42,240
Speaker 1: I kind of felt like was dead on arrival almost

594
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 1: all season long because of their passing game. And I

595
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:48,920
Speaker 1: still think the ceiling's relatively low, but I've raised it

596
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 1: like if they can just be a competitive to decent

597
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:55,880
Speaker 1: passing game, then then they're a little more dangerous in

598
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 1: a spot like this against a team that that will

599
00:28:57,800 --> 00:28:58,480
Speaker 1: put up some points.

600
00:28:58,520 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 4: That's all. It has to be a big I mean

601
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:00,840
Speaker 4: Robertson game.

602
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:05,240
Speaker 3: Just the way that this defense consistently, regardless of which

603
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 3: pieces are missing, have schemed up to bother opposing quarterbacks

604
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:14,800
Speaker 3: and be in the passing lanes where if you can

605
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:19,040
Speaker 3: make Aaron Rodgers hesitate, not trust what he sees. You know,

606
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:21,360
Speaker 3: the balls. First of all, it's going out of bounds.

607
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:22,920
Speaker 3: But if he can't get there, if he's still in

608
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:25,480
Speaker 3: the pocket, then there's an opportunity to have those negative plays.

609
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:28,560
Speaker 3: And maybe Aiden Hutchinson, despite not being able to cress

610
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:31,520
Speaker 3: nineteen miles per hour when he's running down the field

611
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:33,480
Speaker 3: by himself, is able to get some quick pressure on

612
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:33,960
Speaker 3: Aaron Rodds.

613
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,560
Speaker 5: I just think this is a high end, high potential

614
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:41,040
Speaker 5: game for the Lions to just be a explosively smothering

615
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:44,520
Speaker 5: group because it almost happened to the Rams. The Rams

616
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:47,080
Speaker 5: fought their way back in it, but hitting those explosive

617
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 5: plays early almost put that one out of reach in

618
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 5: a big way. And they can do it again against

619
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:56,880
Speaker 5: the Steelers. The third and fourth most explosive plays allowed

620
00:29:56,880 --> 00:30:01,280
Speaker 5: this season. Third most is the Detroit Lion defense and

621
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:03,880
Speaker 5: fourth most is the Pittsburgh Steelers defense.

622
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:05,240
Speaker 6: And they're so close.

623
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:09,040
Speaker 5: Together, just three explosive plays apart, uh one thirty three

624
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:11,400
Speaker 5: for Detroit and one thirty for the Steelers per Next

625
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:15,000
Speaker 5: Gen Stats. That that to me shows me that the better,

626
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 5: the more explosive offense will win this game, and that's

627
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:18,000
Speaker 5: the Lions.

628
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:18,880
Speaker 2: It should be.

629
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:22,920
Speaker 1: DK's finally gotten some big plays the last couple of weeks.

630
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:24,480
Speaker 2: It's good to see him a bigger part of the offense.

631
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:26,360
Speaker 1: I don't think of the running game as explosive, although

632
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:29,800
Speaker 1: it's quietly effective. The Steelers with with Jalen Warren, who's

633
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:32,720
Speaker 1: more likely to make a man missattackle than he is

634
00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:34,320
Speaker 1: to like bust it for forty.

635
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:38,840
Speaker 3: Is it my fault that Kenneth Gambles is subtracted from

636
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 3: your Steelers running back analysis?

637
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:46,160
Speaker 1: Maybe subconsciously that is true. He shouldn't be because having

638
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:48,640
Speaker 1: a great season. Yeah, he really is, And the Steelers

639
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:52,720
Speaker 1: are telling me, you ye, first to now running backs,

640
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:55,040
Speaker 1: that's easier, you know, I don't know.

641
00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:56,320
Speaker 2: I don't even know what that means.

642
00:30:56,560 --> 00:31:00,640
Speaker 1: Kenneth Gainwell, look he was the primary ball carrier on

643
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:02,440
Speaker 1: a team that put up over thirty points in a

644
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:06,400
Speaker 1: super Bowl. He's also the primary carrier like right now

645
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 1: on the Steelers. Quietly he's playing a little more than

646
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 1: Jalen Moore. Although it's a great it's a great one

647
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:13,800
Speaker 1: two punch. It's been a quiet three weeks for Jamiir Gibbs.

648
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:16,600
Speaker 1: Right since he had that nuclear game where he went

649
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 1: over two hundred yards, right, or maybe it's just been

650
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 1: two weeks, but he's had a couple quiet weeks, and

651
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:23,880
Speaker 1: you do miss Sam Laporta.

652
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:27,040
Speaker 2: I do think the culture of it all.

653
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 1: Like they can't lose this game in Campbell, they could

654
00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:33,400
Speaker 1: technically be eliminated. Remember I said at the like hours ago,

655
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:37,360
Speaker 1: years ago before I received life changing news by a text.

656
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 6: And I'm joking everything, Okay.

657
00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 1: I pointed out only one team could be eliminated this week,

658
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:47,320
Speaker 1: and that was the Dallas Cowboy. There is a very

659
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:52,480
Speaker 1: unlikely scenario in which the Lions lose and the Bears

660
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:56,480
Speaker 1: and the Packers tie where the Lions would be eliminated. So,

661
00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:58,840
Speaker 1: even though it wouldn't be official if that they would

662
00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:02,040
Speaker 1: be eliminated, if they lose this game, likely they would

663
00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:05,880
Speaker 1: be all but eliminated and would need an incredible amount

664
00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:09,160
Speaker 1: of help in the final two weeks. If Detroit doesn't win,

665
00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:12,200
Speaker 1: come on coming through, Dan Campbell, Mike Tomlin, I mean,

666
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 1: how much more.

667
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:13,840
Speaker 6: Do it for America?

668
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 2: We need it so bad? How much cooler can it get?

669
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:18,760
Speaker 1: In terms of like a head coaching matchup, I feel

670
00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:21,280
Speaker 1: like Mike Tomlin walked so Dan Campbell can run.

671
00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:21,520
Speaker 2: You know.

672
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:23,600
Speaker 6: Oh that's that's cool. I like that a lot.

673
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:26,200
Speaker 1: Well, I guess Mike Tomlin ran too. He won a

674
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:28,200
Speaker 1: lot of games and won a super Bowl. But you

675
00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:30,960
Speaker 1: know what I mean, They're like, I feel like two

676
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:31,840
Speaker 1: guys in the same mold.

677
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:34,720
Speaker 4: Well you like cool head coaches? Greg? Yes? Can I

678
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:37,440
Speaker 4: interest you on now? Pete Carroll and the Las Vegas Raiders?

679
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:40,520
Speaker 4: Oh okay, Well, the Raiders are playing the Houston Texans,

680
00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:41,440
Speaker 4: who favor.

681
00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 3: I wasn't ready to read this fourteen and a half boys,

682
00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:49,360
Speaker 3: the over Hunders thirty seven and a half Andrew Catalog,

683
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 3: Charles Davis, and Jason mccordy will have the task of

684
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:55,960
Speaker 3: making it interesting, Greg, because the Raiders are playing against

685
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:57,400
Speaker 3: the team that's significantly better.

686
00:32:57,240 --> 00:33:01,440
Speaker 1: Than them, and they always do one of my favorite trios.

687
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:06,480
Speaker 1: I'm talking about Catalan Davison mccordy. I've had enough broadcaster.

688
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:07,959
Speaker 2: You know, hate lately.

689
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:11,400
Speaker 1: I want to give the good Cruise some credit and

690
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:14,840
Speaker 1: that the Texans offense, that's a good crew. I wondered

691
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:17,320
Speaker 1: aloud on that on that Cynthia pod last week where

692
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:20,200
Speaker 1: we do our picks, like do we really trust the

693
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:24,960
Speaker 1: Texans favored by like ten points last week, like ready

694
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:27,239
Speaker 1: to just like blow a team out. It didn't end

695
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:29,480
Speaker 1: up taking that game. It's like, yeah, we kind of

696
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:32,720
Speaker 1: do trust them. They've they've gotten through this gauntlet, and

697
00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:34,520
Speaker 1: they could be ten and two in their last twelve

698
00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:36,840
Speaker 1: games if they win this game, and they've done it

699
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 1: against a top five, difficult schedule, and now they finally

700
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:44,160
Speaker 1: get to a softer portion. And you watched that game

701
00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:47,720
Speaker 1: closely last week, Jordan. The offense look great and it

702
00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:50,959
Speaker 1: just is awesome to see c. J. Stroud in rhythm.

703
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:52,840
Speaker 1: And one thing that stuck out to me watching is

704
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:53,680
Speaker 1: just he's.

705
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:54,440
Speaker 2: Moving really well.

706
00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:57,680
Speaker 1: Yes, and he talked in the off season about really

707
00:33:57,720 --> 00:33:59,320
Speaker 1: working on his movement skills, and I do think you

708
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:01,680
Speaker 1: saw that, like right at the beginning of the season,

709
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:03,239
Speaker 1: but then he got hurt in the offensive line has

710
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:06,400
Speaker 1: been bad, but he has been great, I think lately,

711
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:07,800
Speaker 1: and he's moving really well well.

712
00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:10,440
Speaker 5: There's a more of a rapport with some of the

713
00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:14,799
Speaker 5: younger players too, the younger receivers, the two guys out

714
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:17,920
Speaker 5: of Iowa State, and then Xavier Hutchinson coming in as well,

715
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:21,120
Speaker 5: and then you know, obviously Nico is Nico, but it's

716
00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:24,359
Speaker 5: all of the young players seem to have grown up

717
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:26,960
Speaker 5: through part of the grueling nature of what the season

718
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:30,320
Speaker 5: has been. I was delighted to see now Woody Marx

719
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:32,600
Speaker 5: is kind of in and out with an ankle injury,

720
00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:34,719
Speaker 5: so he's kind of if he plays, he'll be playing.

721
00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:38,120
Speaker 6: Through a little of that. But I was absolutely delighted to.

722
00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:41,319
Speaker 5: See that they promoted Juar Jordan off the practice squad again,

723
00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:43,480
Speaker 5: and he should stay on this active roster for as

724
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:46,480
Speaker 5: long as they can keep him there because the burst

725
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:49,440
Speaker 5: that he gave them on the ground. You know, Woody

726
00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:52,920
Speaker 5: marks Is clearly can be a very explosive player, but

727
00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:56,440
Speaker 5: it was almost like a spark plug, just little like

728
00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:59,760
Speaker 5: flashes with Juar Jordan. Who could who showed this burst

729
00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:03,239
Speaker 5: that was awesome, that was badly needed. It was exciting

730
00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:06,840
Speaker 5: to watch this Houston Texans offense move the ball and

731
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:09,480
Speaker 5: stay ahead of the sticks in such a functional way.

732
00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:12,719
Speaker 5: You combine that with c. J. Stroud's ability as a

733
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:17,920
Speaker 5: quarterback making some of the highest difficulty level throws. It

734
00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:20,719
Speaker 5: just it's all coming together, and it's coming together at

735
00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:23,680
Speaker 5: the right time, and thank God, because they're giving this

736
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:25,760
Speaker 5: defense some help finally.

737
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:29,440
Speaker 3: And a opportunity where you can both rest Woody marks

738
00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:33,480
Speaker 3: for this upcoming postseason run and get Jaward Jordan a

739
00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:36,959
Speaker 3: chance to get more carries as far as NFL debuts. Yeah,

740
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:40,279
Speaker 3: fifteen carries over one hundred involved in the receiving game

741
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:43,479
Speaker 3: as well. I'd like to see more of them as well.

742
00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:47,719
Speaker 3: And because again, you trust stuff against this team.

743
00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:53,800
Speaker 5: I like how we've we're politely calling these miserable teams

744
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:54,759
Speaker 5: to try stuff against them.

745
00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:59,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, but the Raiders are the Quinn essential. Yeah, they can.

746
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:02,279
Speaker 1: You can work on your offensive line Texans, like, you're

747
00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:04,400
Speaker 1: not gonna have to worry about any crazy blitz is.

748
00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:07,359
Speaker 1: These are two teams that both like to play that

749
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:10,480
Speaker 1: like to play bass defense. Having three linebackers on the field,

750
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:12,719
Speaker 1: it can work. I mean the forty nine ers do

751
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:13,960
Speaker 1: it pretty well.

752
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:14,920
Speaker 6: With one of these teams.

753
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:16,440
Speaker 2: And the Texans.

754
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:19,399
Speaker 1: I noticed with Christian Harris back last week or maybe

755
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:21,319
Speaker 1: it's the last two weeks, I'm not sure, but he's

756
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:24,319
Speaker 1: playing a decent amount of snaps and he adds a

757
00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:26,799
Speaker 1: little bit of a different element, and I think they're

758
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:30,680
Speaker 1: gonna want him, like getting ready for the playoffs, to

759
00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:33,799
Speaker 1: at least be like an important player for them. And yeah,

760
00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:35,720
Speaker 1: that's what the types of stuff you can do against

761
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:36,360
Speaker 1: the Raiders.

762
00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:40,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, and thank you for putting me on the Jalen

763
00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:44,120
Speaker 3: Peatrie smelling salt yes situation, because I saw the video.

764
00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:46,640
Speaker 3: Not only did he take a hit of the smelling salts,

765
00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:52,080
Speaker 3: he no sold it like, no reaction, facial indications.

766
00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:55,920
Speaker 5: And just casually drops it to the ground and then

767
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:56,879
Speaker 5: goes and sprints to.

768
00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:59,239
Speaker 2: The That's just Wednesday for him. Yeah, that's just nothing.

769
00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:04,560
Speaker 3: I'm up across from that sideline. Hey, on the top

770
00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:05,040
Speaker 3: of my head.

771
00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:06,799
Speaker 6: I love the sense so much.

772
00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:08,840
Speaker 1: Uh, and yeah, if they if we don't know if

773
00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:11,400
Speaker 1: Geno is going to be back for this game, we

774
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:14,080
Speaker 1: should have pointed out, by the way, Uh for the

775
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:15,160
Speaker 1: Jets it is Brady Cook.

776
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:18,839
Speaker 2: Again we didn't get that information. But uh, we don't

777
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:20,600
Speaker 2: know if it's you know or Kenny Pickett.

778
00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:21,959
Speaker 6: You either way? Rip.

779
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:27,600
Speaker 5: Yes again, you were asking earlier on the show this

780
00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:30,759
Speaker 5: week what players we think that Wes would have liked.

781
00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:34,080
Speaker 5: I look at will Anderson Junior, and I think that

782
00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:37,120
Speaker 5: the exuberance and the joy that that guy, that young

783
00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:42,359
Speaker 5: man plays with and the uh the ferocity despite being

784
00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:45,920
Speaker 5: like such a seems like just a joy for his

785
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:48,719
Speaker 5: teammates to be around. He just he's incredible watching him

786
00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:49,360
Speaker 5: plays incredible.

787
00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:51,480
Speaker 1: I think Wes would have really, I totally agree, loved

788
00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:54,320
Speaker 1: loved like an edge with his hair on fire, and

789
00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:58,480
Speaker 1: really realizing when they talked about will Anderson before the

790
00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:00,840
Speaker 1: draft and when it came to that trade, there was

791
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:04,200
Speaker 1: this idea that the ceiling wasn't somehow quite as high

792
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:06,640
Speaker 1: as like top edge type of guys, that it was

793
00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:10,120
Speaker 1: more like safe versus like crazy ceiling. I mean, this

794
00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:12,279
Speaker 1: is the ceiling right now. He's a He's a first

795
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:14,480
Speaker 1: team All Pro. I think with Miles Garrett, I think

796
00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:17,040
Speaker 1: those are the two. Speaking of which you mentioned Nico

797
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:19,200
Speaker 1: as Nico and I and I often think this when

798
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:22,400
Speaker 1: I'm watching Nego Collins, who I think is my favorite

799
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:26,160
Speaker 1: wide receiver in the league. Like we say, oh, he's

800
00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:28,000
Speaker 1: one of the best receivers in league. It's like, but

801
00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:30,279
Speaker 1: he's still better than you think. I'm thinking about if

802
00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:32,120
Speaker 1: I'm making an All Pro team this year, I gotta

803
00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:34,040
Speaker 1: I actually got to make a list, like how high

804
00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:37,359
Speaker 1: are we talking If we're putting three receivers on, which

805
00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:41,759
Speaker 1: I think they do now, it's probably JSN and Puka

806
00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:48,080
Speaker 1: are the easy top two and then after that you

807
00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:51,879
Speaker 1: could go Chase certainly having a good year. It's kind

808
00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:53,840
Speaker 1: of tough to put Justin Jefferson on the team this

809
00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:56,320
Speaker 1: year because he's not going to break a thousand yards.

810
00:38:56,320 --> 00:39:00,239
Speaker 1: I don't think I think you're I would maybe put

811
00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:02,239
Speaker 1: Nico right there on the first team, and if not,

812
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:04,920
Speaker 1: he's there on the second team with aman Ra and

813
00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:08,279
Speaker 1: CD or whoever else George Pickens you want to put

814
00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:10,719
Speaker 1: on the second team, But like, I think that's the

815
00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:13,160
Speaker 1: floor for Nico, and I don't think it's crazy to

816
00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:15,120
Speaker 1: have him right there number three.

817
00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:16,560
Speaker 4: And that's why it was.

818
00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:18,720
Speaker 3: It was so important for your call for the Texans

819
00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:21,920
Speaker 3: office line to be normal, to be standard issue. Yes,

820
00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:24,680
Speaker 3: so more people could appreciate how good of a football player, Yes,

821
00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:27,359
Speaker 3: Nico Collins is, and thankfully more people are.

822
00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:28,800
Speaker 4: Let's go to our final game, guys.

823
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:29,560
Speaker 6: Oh wow.

824
00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:33,040
Speaker 3: The Atlanta falcon are favored by two and a half points,

825
00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:36,240
Speaker 3: fresh off of the Kyle Pitts game on the road

826
00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:40,040
Speaker 3: against the Arizona Cardinals. The over unders forty seven and

827
00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:43,359
Speaker 3: a half. Jason By and Brady Quinn on the call.

828
00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:47,840
Speaker 3: The Cardinals have looked like can kuon on three the

829
00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:51,759
Speaker 3: past couple of weeks of Jordan. Do they provide the

830
00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:54,480
Speaker 3: early season Cardinals scare where they lose this game by

831
00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:55,480
Speaker 3: three points.

832
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:57,600
Speaker 6: I think the Cardinals can win this game.

833
00:39:57,760 --> 00:40:01,480
Speaker 5: Oh, I think it's the vibes down horrendous in Atlanta

834
00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:05,879
Speaker 5: right now, the kiss of death for the quarterbacks in

835
00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:09,320
Speaker 5: any building. The theme this year seems to be everything

836
00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:11,520
Speaker 5: is on the table if the head coach says that,

837
00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:14,200
Speaker 5: And that is what Raheem Morris told the media this

838
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:17,920
Speaker 5: week when asked about the future of the quarterback situation.

839
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:22,760
Speaker 5: It bears repeating that Atlanta does not have their initial

840
00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:26,799
Speaker 5: first round pick with which they could potentially go make

841
00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:30,000
Speaker 5: a decision at quarterback. It also bears noting that they

842
00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:32,320
Speaker 5: might not even be the ones in the building making

843
00:40:32,719 --> 00:40:35,520
Speaker 5: that decision, nor the Arizona Cardinals. So this is a

844
00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:39,640
Speaker 5: whose vibes are slightly less bad than others game.

845
00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:41,560
Speaker 2: That is absolutely all true.

846
00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:43,879
Speaker 1: And yet when I think about this game versus let's

847
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:47,080
Speaker 1: say Bengals Dolphins, this is this is fun. This is

848
00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:49,800
Speaker 1: the sort of chaos that I'll embrace on the field.

849
00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:51,919
Speaker 1: Off the field, You're right, the vibes are bad.

850
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:55,319
Speaker 5: I liked I liked both of these teams Schematically on

851
00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:57,080
Speaker 5: defense at least on the field, and I know the

852
00:40:57,120 --> 00:40:59,520
Speaker 5: defense for the Cardinals hasn't been good, but I still I.

853
00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:02,359
Speaker 6: Still hold for the possibility of what could be.

854
00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:04,480
Speaker 1: I mean, Kyle Pitts is coming off one of the

855
00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:08,120
Speaker 1: most legendary fantasy football performances of all time, if not

856
00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:11,960
Speaker 1: T and f performances of all time. That's fun. Drake

857
00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:14,319
Speaker 1: London sounds like he could be back for this game.

858
00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:18,080
Speaker 1: We got to give Kirk Cousins credit for playing very

859
00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:19,759
Speaker 1: well in that game, and I think it's been a

860
00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:22,640
Speaker 1: steady incline where he's looked better each and every week.

861
00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:24,040
Speaker 2: I think it's a little crazy to talk about.

862
00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:26,200
Speaker 6: Do you think he's playing himself into another job?

863
00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:30,920
Speaker 2: No, but there are only thirty two jobs. Yeah, I

864
00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:31,480
Speaker 2: kind of.

865
00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:34,279
Speaker 3: Very notable one in Kansas City where maybe they need

866
00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:35,960
Speaker 3: somebody to play three or four games.

867
00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:36,920
Speaker 2: I get see you.

868
00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:38,759
Speaker 1: I'm trying to have my cake and eat it too here,

869
00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:41,239
Speaker 1: Like wouldn't it wouldn't surprise me if he has a

870
00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:43,919
Speaker 1: starting quarterback in Week one next year. But I don't

871
00:41:43,920 --> 00:41:46,960
Speaker 1: think he's going to get like a starting quarterback like contract.

872
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:49,399
Speaker 1: So that's where I would separate him, Like maybe he's

873
00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:52,359
Speaker 1: paired with a rookie or he's paired with.

874
00:41:53,040 --> 00:41:56,320
Speaker 5: A Yes, Michael pennant to be a bridge guy again.

875
00:41:56,440 --> 00:41:57,840
Speaker 2: Well that's what Well, what is he gotta do?

876
00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:03,000
Speaker 1: Like he just accept I think Raheem is just too honest, Like,

877
00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:05,600
Speaker 1: of course they're considering everything. Michael Pennox is coming off

878
00:42:05,600 --> 00:42:08,400
Speaker 1: of attorney CL. He might not be ready for the

879
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:10,200
Speaker 1: start of next season. And if he is, he's coming

880
00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:12,680
Speaker 1: off at TOURNEYCL. There's no they think that he was.

881
00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:15,320
Speaker 6: Not playing well before the injury too.

882
00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:16,520
Speaker 2: So for sure.

883
00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:19,000
Speaker 1: But I mean even if he was playing well, I

884
00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:22,200
Speaker 1: feel like they would have to be, you know, readying

885
00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:26,120
Speaker 1: as an organization for that position, considering his injury history.

886
00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:29,120
Speaker 1: And yeah, it would surprise me if Raheem is there,

887
00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:29,719
Speaker 1: But you never know.

888
00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:32,800
Speaker 5: Jacoby Brissett might throw it a hundred times this game,

889
00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:35,840
Speaker 5: another player goes to injured reserve.

890
00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:37,760
Speaker 6: I think Bam Knight this time.

891
00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:40,720
Speaker 5: Cardinals have just had the worst luck with their running

892
00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:44,239
Speaker 5: backs room all year. They down they'll be down to

893
00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:49,399
Speaker 5: like their sixth starting running back this in this game,

894
00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:50,719
Speaker 5: and is the season.

895
00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:53,280
Speaker 6: Creaks to a close on the Arizona card.

896
00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:55,359
Speaker 1: I keep going back to that their defense is not

897
00:42:55,520 --> 00:42:58,120
Speaker 1: that injured. In fact, up front, they're as healthy as

898
00:42:58,120 --> 00:43:01,160
Speaker 1: they've been all season, and they are somewhere between twenty

899
00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:03,960
Speaker 1: fifth and twenty seventh and basically every defensive stat and

900
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:06,840
Speaker 1: he's a defensive coach and he's been there for three years,

901
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:12,040
Speaker 1: and so you're starting to hear the national of like well,

902
00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:15,040
Speaker 1: like Tom Pelisera said this week, they they want to

903
00:43:15,160 --> 00:43:20,360
Speaker 1: keep them, but the results right, like.

904
00:43:19,880 --> 00:43:22,440
Speaker 2: Basically they've been planning to keep them, but at a.

905
00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:24,400
Speaker 6: Sid point, last three games matter.

906
00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:27,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, if at a certain point, if the results continue

907
00:43:27,640 --> 00:43:31,680
Speaker 1: to be really lopsided, yeah, I mean, it's not gonna

908
00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:35,600
Speaker 1: be great for Jonathan Gannon and I do I do

909
00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:37,839
Speaker 1: want to finish. You mentioned that it's been a sign

910
00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:39,520
Speaker 1: all season. It's been kind of a trend when they

911
00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:42,560
Speaker 1: talk about their young quarterbacks that way. I'm not overly

912
00:43:42,560 --> 00:43:45,680
Speaker 1: comfortable with the fact that Shane Steichen is more or

913
00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:49,080
Speaker 1: less saying going back to the Colts that like, oh, yeah,

914
00:43:49,080 --> 00:43:52,480
Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson might be cleared for activities, but yeah, we're

915
00:43:52,560 --> 00:43:55,279
Speaker 1: we didn't bring in Philip Rivers for anything but to start.

916
00:43:55,320 --> 00:43:57,040
Speaker 1: I'm not surprised by that, but it sounds like they're

917
00:43:57,040 --> 00:43:59,800
Speaker 1: not even gonna let like Anthony Richardson be a backup

918
00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:01,480
Speaker 1: and just being weird about it.

919
00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:02,440
Speaker 2: I don't I don't know.

920
00:44:03,120 --> 00:44:05,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, they've not handled that. Just be honest about it.

921
00:44:05,360 --> 00:44:07,640
Speaker 1: Maybe like we don't see him as the few whatever

922
00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:11,120
Speaker 1: it is. He's like refusing to answer questions. Anthony Richardson,

923
00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:13,320
Speaker 1: was I think cleared to for football?

924
00:44:13,560 --> 00:44:15,680
Speaker 6: Yeah he is, he's cleared for football activities, but he's

925
00:44:15,719 --> 00:44:16,320
Speaker 6: not the backup.

926
00:44:16,640 --> 00:44:18,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they probably aren't going to. I don't even

927
00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:21,480
Speaker 1: think put him on the active rosters. That's another quarterback

928
00:44:21,520 --> 00:44:24,880
Speaker 1: that'll be available for someone this offseason. We have a

929
00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:28,319
Speaker 1: whole three weeks to get through before we get there.

930
00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:32,560
Speaker 1: We also have a really exciting addition to the feed.

931
00:44:32,880 --> 00:44:35,920
Speaker 1: Tell us about this week's NFL Power Players, which is

932
00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:36,319
Speaker 1: coming up.

933
00:44:36,520 --> 00:44:36,719
Speaker 6: Yeah.

934
00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:40,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, we talked to Chad Alexander, the assistant general manager

935
00:44:40,680 --> 00:44:43,799
Speaker 5: of the Los Angeles Chargers this week, and I love

936
00:44:43,880 --> 00:44:45,400
Speaker 5: we talked about the Chargers earlier.

937
00:44:45,719 --> 00:44:47,000
Speaker 6: What was that the other show?

938
00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:50,000
Speaker 2: Right, they're all they're all one show. I just consider

939
00:44:50,080 --> 00:44:51,600
Speaker 2: this show.

940
00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:55,279
Speaker 5: We talked about the Chargers earlier today, and I love

941
00:44:55,320 --> 00:44:57,600
Speaker 5: what you said because you have not heard the interview yet, Greg,

942
00:44:57,640 --> 00:45:00,000
Speaker 5: but you talked about winning ugly and no style points.

943
00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:03,319
Speaker 5: And that's exactly what Chad Alexander was talking about as

944
00:45:03,360 --> 00:45:06,920
Speaker 5: well as just like really rebuilding what it means to

945
00:45:06,920 --> 00:45:10,200
Speaker 5: have an identity as a football team in that building

946
00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:10,719
Speaker 5: of late.

947
00:45:11,239 --> 00:45:13,000
Speaker 6: It was a pretty cool interview. I'm excited for people

948
00:45:13,040 --> 00:45:13,480
Speaker 6: to listen to it.

949
00:45:13,520 --> 00:45:15,680
Speaker 1: Okay, so that is going to go up on Thursday.

950
00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:20,640
Speaker 1: We will also be back Thursday Night Jordan and I

951
00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:24,120
Speaker 1: recapping Ramseyahawk Big.

952
00:45:24,280 --> 00:45:26,319
Speaker 6: Best Thursday Night football game of all time.

953
00:45:26,400 --> 00:45:32,319
Speaker 1: Greg, that's right, no Hyperboley here, I think so, I'd

954
00:45:32,320 --> 00:45:33,440
Speaker 1: have to go through the records.

955
00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:37,839
Speaker 3: But the legendary seventeen point Baker Mayfield, I'll see then
