00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 1: Chris Peterson fourteen years in college football, made a bowl

9
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 1: appearance every year, won four games for everyone, he lost

10
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:37,239
Speaker 1: four and a half. So one of the great all

11
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:39,559
Speaker 1: time college football coaches of all time. He's joining us

12
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 1: live from the Pacific Northwest. He was at the Seahawks

13
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:46,159
Speaker 1: Rams game and we were talking off air, you know

14
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:51,199
Speaker 1: McVeigh pretty well. I asked about the quarterbacks, and I

15
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 1: want you to share what you did with about Matt

16
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 1: Stafford and how blown away you are because you were

17
00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 1: at the game last night.

18
00:00:59,680 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 3: Yes.

19
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 4: So I've had a chance to be around the Rams

20
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 4: a little bit over the last couple of years, seeing

21
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:08,040
Speaker 4: in practice, see how he studies, see how he treats guys,

22
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 4: and then how he processes. You know, Sean's got this

23
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 4: unbelievable system of offensive football, but it's very worthy as well.

24
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 4: I mean a lot of players are twenty words long.

25
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 4: This guy has a photographic memory. He does not wear

26
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 4: a wristband to call the plays off. He knows the

27
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 4: entire game plan, the arm angles that he throws with,

28
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 4: how he processes, how fast he gets through things, the

29
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 4: accuracy that he throws, and he's not a runner.

30
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 3: It is truly amazing.

31
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:46,039
Speaker 4: And I have so much appreciation watching this greatness. When

32
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 4: you get a chance to see behind the scenes a

33
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 4: little bit, it is phenomenal like this, No look past

34
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 4: that we're looking at. It's crazy like he does it

35
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 4: every game. It is a true master of his craft

36
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 4: every Sunday.

37
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 1: For the record, you coached Pooka at Washington, you recruited him,

38
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 1: got him. Tell me what you thought of him as

39
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 1: a true freshman in Seattle.

40
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:13,640
Speaker 4: Well, we played him as a true freshman, and we

41
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 4: had some pretty good receivers, I'll say that.

42
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 3: And I saw this in high school.

43
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 4: I think he was the all time leading high school

44
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 4: receiver in the state of Utah. And you'd see him

45
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 4: catch these phenomenal passes. The harder the catch, the more

46
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 4: you felt.

47
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 3: Like he was gonna make it.

48
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 4: And then he comes up here to Washington, and it

49
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 4: was the same thing. He just made all these tough catches.

50
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 4: The harder the catch, the more you knew he was

51
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 4: gonna make it. The body control, strong hands, really great

52
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 4: football IQ of feeling the game. Yeah, it was a

53
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,360
Speaker 4: blessing to be able to coach him for the short.

54
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 3: Time that I did.

55
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,360
Speaker 1: I remember that team. You had some NFL receivers and

56
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: he played as freshman.

57
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 5: I remember that, yep.

58
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 4: And he was just starting to come on halfway through

59
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,359
Speaker 4: his freshman year and he ended up breaking his foot

60
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 4: just planning weird.

61
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,640
Speaker 3: So you could feel all this that he was going

62
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 3: to just do some really really special things.

63
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 1: So you go to the college football playoffs, and it's

64
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 1: different than a bowl game. I mean, you had great

65
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 1: bowl success. Now now, especially if you're in an Oregon

66
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 1: or Georgia Ohio state, you got you gotta have three

67
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 1: four games back to back.

68
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 5: How would it's very NFL And that's.

69
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:35,839
Speaker 1: Why I like that Ryan Day went and got Chip

70
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 1: Kelly NFL experience, Matt Patricia NFL experience. I do think

71
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 1: it's different than your old bull style. How would you

72
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 1: coach a little different knowing it could be the first

73
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 1: of two, three or four games?

74
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think you're coaching it like, Okay, we're gonna

75
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 4: get a chance to get rested up, recharged, healed up

76
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 4: a little bit, and then we're going to play this

77
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:01,559
Speaker 4: three to four game season. But it's all good on good.

78
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 4: So I don't like the huge layoffs you know that

79
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 4: some of these buy teams have. I think you get

80
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 4: out everybody that's got a buys in a great rhythm

81
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 4: right now, and now all you're doing is taking them

82
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 4: out of the rhythm. So I think that's and we

83
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 4: saw it last year a little bit because of the

84
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 4: matchups were uneven. But you know, we saw some of

85
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 4: these seated teams that had buys lose and everyone's going on, well,

86
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:26,719
Speaker 4: part of it is you lose your rhythm.

87
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 3: And so I think it's a new season, fresh start.

88
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 4: All the things that we've learned, all the hard things

89
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 4: that we've been through, we take those lessons forward and

90
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 4: it is all in all we got. The cool thing

91
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,719
Speaker 4: is is now school is now behind us. I know

92
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:48,840
Speaker 4: nobody talks about academics anymore in college football and college

93
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 4: but that is real and that is a thing. And

94
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 4: so now finals are behind us and we can just

95
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 4: go and it's kind of pro football ish being at

96
00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,720
Speaker 4: our best. You always, as a coach, the thing one

97
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 4: of the things always, whether you're playing in a bowl

98
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 4: game before college football playoffs, are we playing.

99
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 3: Our best at the end of the year.

100
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,839
Speaker 4: That is a goal and I think everybody that's you

101
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:12,840

Speaker 1: You saw Fernando Mendoz at Cal and he wasn't this good?

117
00:05:56,640 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 1: Are you surprised at his growth? Because you saw him

118
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 1: at Cal and it was up and down.

119
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 4: I am so surprised at the entire Indiana program.

120
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:10,599
Speaker 3: Like last year.

121
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 4: When Signetti came in there, I was like, yeah, wow,

122
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 4: he kind of hit it big and that was impressive,

123
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 4: and then to come back and do it again, and

124
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 4: you're right. I did get a chance to watch Fernando

125
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 4: at CAL and it was like, Wow, what an impressive throw,

126
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 4: But then.

127
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 3: You'd have some throws or some things that would kind

128
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:30,280
Speaker 3: of really hurt them. And how he's grown.

129
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 4: In this Indiana offense with Signetti and company has been

130
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 4: nothing short of amazing.

131
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 3: I mean it really was.

132
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:39,040
Speaker 4: I thought, you know, before Cal was like some good

133
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:41,840
Speaker 4: a lot, just good enough to get your beat. Now

134
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 4: this guy is truly an elite college player.

135
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 3: I mean, he can move good.

136
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 4: The accuracy doesn't have an cannon for an arm, but

137
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,840
Speaker 4: it's plenty strong enough, and throws like this.

138
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 7: Wow.

139
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,039
Speaker 3: I mean I've been so impressed.

140
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 4: And you know, I had a chance this year actually

141
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 4: to vote for the Heisman Trophy, and I mean I

142
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 4: went back so hard between Pobby and him, and I

143
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 4: actually did vote for Fernando as the as the winner,

144
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 4: with a super super close second to Pavia.

145
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 1: You know, it's interesting the nil Marcus Freeman's name gets mentioned.

146
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 1: They're one of the last teams that didn't make it.

147
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 1: And I look at it and I think, well, he

148
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 1: can make a lot of money. But he's making a

149
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 1: lot of money now he can control personnel. But college football,

150
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 1: some would say it's like a poor man's NFL. You're

151
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 1: paying everybody. You know, it's constant free agency. But some coaches,

152
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 1: I mean, Signetty may like it. He's older. He didn't

153
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 1: want to just do recruiting for high school. Like he

154
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 1: may like to write some checks and not have to

155
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 1: go on the road as much. For a guy like

156
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 1: Marcus Freeman, who's got the young guy energy, would you

157
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 1: consider the NFL or stay at Notre Dame.

158
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 3: I love Marcus Freeman. I like Notre Dame a lot.

159
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 4: I think it's really a bummer that they are left

160
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 4: out of this playoff because I look at it like this,

161
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 4: this is a team that could have a chance to

162
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 4: win the tournament and you're left out.

163
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 3: That hurts.

164
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 4: Now should in my opinion, they have gone in over Miami.

165
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 4: No Miami beat them, and there is enough closeness between it,

166
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 4: Like if we beat you and our records are the same,

167
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 4: as schedules are similar, I should go in.

168
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 3: But I'm just saying this, Colin.

169
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 4: I mean, I think college football is so nuts right

170
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 4: now and so crazy. If I'm a Marcus Freeman type

171
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 4: young coach, big career in front of me, I'm looking

172
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 4: really hard at the NFL because it's just it's just

173
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 4: twenty four to seven, three sixty five of nonsense.

174
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 3: The good part is Saturdays, when we get to play

175
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 3: the game. We all love them, the coaches love them.

176
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 4: But the behind the scenes is like, you can't make

177
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:47,680
Speaker 4: up this stuff.

178
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 3: What's going on.

179
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:53,080
Speaker 4: Coaches right now are looking at players to add to

180
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 4: their team, of players.

181
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 3: That aren't even in the portal yet. I think got a.

182
00:08:57,640 --> 00:08:59,440
Speaker 4: List of Oh, here's the good running backs, here's the

183
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,200
Speaker 4: good receiver, and they're not in the portal, but they

184
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 4: know that they can go bit them right into the portal.

185
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 3: And it's just the crazy. I mean, that's a tip

186
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 3: of the iceberg.

187
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 4: So if I had an owner that I thought was

188
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 4: outstanding and the GM and I'm sold to Soul and

189
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 4: got alignment with that, I'm looking really hard at the

190
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:22,319
Speaker 4: NFL because it's just a better way of life right now.

191
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:24,560
Speaker 3: And I would never have said that eight years ago.

192
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:29,439
Speaker 1: I think Ohio State's the best team. Indiana maybe too

193
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,440
Speaker 1: talk about the Buckeyes. Do you would you favor them

194
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 1: going in because Georgia is good, but they're not Georgia

195
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 1: three years ago.

196
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 5: Georgia won a lot of close games.

197
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 4: I think it is interesting because I think you're talking

198
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 4: about the right thing. When I look at this tournament,

199
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:46,320
Speaker 4: I kind of have it a lot like you had

200
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 4: your picks. I can't wait to see this Georgia Ohio

201
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 4: State matchup. I mean that is going to be for real.

202
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:58,840
Speaker 4: And I have loved Ohio State all year long. I

203
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 4: think Julian's saying is so good. I cannot believe the kids,

204
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 4: a red shirt freshman and the weapons that he has

205
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 4: to throw to the running games coming along. So I've

206
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 4: been all about Ohio State all year long. But I'm

207
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 4: changing my pick here because what I don't like is

208
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 4: the coaches that are moving that have taken head jobs

209
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 4: that are moving on, or the head coaches that are

210
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:23,320
Speaker 4: moving on.

211
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,440
Speaker 3: I think that is very distracting and un settling.

212
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 4: And the fact that Brian Hartline did a great job,

213
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 4: He's got a new job, whether he's with him or not.

214
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 3: I think that's that's a big thing.

215
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 4: So I think George has been so sneaky good all

216
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 4: year long. I probably like Georgia maybe over Ohio State

217
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:45,960
Speaker 4: right now. And I'm really surprised I'm even saying that.

218
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:50,080
Speaker 4: And so I could see Indiana Georgia in a really

219
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:52,439
Speaker 4: cool championship game.

220
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:56,080
Speaker 3: But I'm not betting against Kirk Signetti.

221
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 4: I mean, I've been doing that for too long now,

222
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:03,080
Speaker 4: and that guy just keeps proven everybody wrong and himself

223
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:03,959
Speaker 4: and his team. Right.

224
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 1: Uh, finally, Michigan job is open. Let's say Kaylan Devor

225
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:12,960
Speaker 1: loses tonight, Michigan calls him up and said it, Kaylan,

226
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 1: we want you, whether he takes it or not. There's

227
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 1: an argument. I remember talking to coaches about this. They're like,

228
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:23,439
Speaker 1: the SEC is different, the Big tens intense, but Michigan's

229
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 1: not Bama on the intensity scale. As a former coach,

230
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:30,960
Speaker 1: they're both blue bloods Michigan Bama.

231
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 5: Coin flip.

232
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 1: Which would wish to you as a better job, family life,

233
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 1: whether intensity, competition, what's the better job.

234
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 3: For me? Is that what we're saying? Or for Kaylin and.

235
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 5: For you your general, for you, what would you take?

236
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 3: It's not close.

237
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:56,080
Speaker 4: It would be Michigan, all right, you know, it just

238
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 4: means more in sec like they are for real, those

239
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 4: fans are so unforgiving. It is when now and now

240
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:06,839
Speaker 4: you're following the greatest of all time?

241
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:09,839
Speaker 3: So how do you meet those standards?

242
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 4: And the fact that people are even talking about, well,

243
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:16,560
Speaker 4: if he doesn't win this game against Oklahoma, maybe it's time. Well,

244
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 4: are we not just pro even if he does win it?

245
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 4: Are we just not prolonging that conversation for next season

246
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:27,440
Speaker 4: or a game or two later, like all or nothing

247
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 4: mentality like that is a very hard way to exist.

248
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 4: And so I just I think that is the if

249
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 4: there's anybody that could fit it, as Kaylin, he's such

250
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 4: a special person. He's one of the best coaches in

251
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 4: the country. I just think that job is so difficult.

252
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:50,559
Speaker 4: And Michigan's been you know, down a bit by their

253
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 4: standards since you know, the last couple of years, and

254
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:58,359
Speaker 4: I think the fan base still expectations kind of unrealistic,

255
00:12:58,480 --> 00:12:59,719
Speaker 4: like all true.

256
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:03,079
Speaker 3: Great and bases are. But it does seem like that

257
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 3: is could fit pretty well.

258
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:09,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, same thing, Chris Peterson, you look great. I know

259
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 1: you're happy. You still do some stuff obviously with us

260
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 1: at Fox and the University of Washington, and it's just

261
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 1: great to see a happy Holidays to you and the fam.

262
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:18,960
Speaker 3: Appreciate you calling you two.

263
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 4: And this is the fun time of the year because

264
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 4: now football gets really good.

265
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:24,720
Speaker 3: It does.

266
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 1: It's college with a little touch of NFL, the playoff format.

267
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:32,679
Speaker 1: Good stuff. Chris Peterson. Yeah, the Vama Oklahoma game is

268
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 1: the hard one for me. Is I probably think the

269
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 1: better defense at home. Oklahoma's had Alabama's number, but Kaylin

270
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:43,080
Speaker 1: de Boro will have these halves like the first half.

271
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:45,839
Speaker 1: I would take Alabama because I saw what they did

272
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 1: at Georgia in the first half Kaylin's game plans. I

273
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 1: watched them at Washington. They are wicked. I think it's

274
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:56,359
Speaker 1: a really close, really close game. I don't think Oklahoma

275
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:58,560
Speaker 1: can win a shootout. So if it gets high scoring,

276
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:01,839
Speaker 1: you take Bama. Feels twenty four to twenty three to me.

277
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:06,680
Speaker 3: J Mack with a news no, no turn on the news.

278
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:10,200
Speaker 2: This is the herd line news, right.

279
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:14,480
Speaker 8: Colin Sneaky good games Sunday on Fox. Chargers at the Cowboys.

280
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 8: It's kind of buried in the deck in the early games.

281
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,880
Speaker 8: And it's interesting because it's a good clash in that

282
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 8: the Chargers defense has been lights out.

283
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 5: They really shut.

284
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 8: Down in recent weeks, the Eagles as well as the Chiefs.

285
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 8: Here's the problem. The offense is sputtering. Here's Jim Harbaugh

286
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 8: talking about what the offense has been like the last

287
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 8: couple of weeks.

288
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 9: Chiefs and the Eagles. I think they would love to

289
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 9: have our offensive production in those two games, and those

290
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 9: are really really good teams. Yeah, so you think their

291
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 9: Eagles would have rather had our offensive production or theirs? Well, Chiefs,

292
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 9: ours are theirs and against two really good defenses specifically

293
00:14:56,760 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 9: playing winning football specific you could be.

294
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:04,960
Speaker 3: Well, you know that that is very specific.

295
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 8: If we're giving awards, Collin quarterback speaker of the year

296
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 8: at the podium's Dak coach speaker has to be Jim Horrible.

297
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 8: I mean every week he's coming up with funny stuff.

298
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 5: Little digs there. Now, listen to. The offense has been sputtering.

299
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 8: Lad mcconkey's been a ghost, He's not doing anything. Rondez

300
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 8: Gadsden hasn't done much. I mean, Keenan Allen, the offense

301
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 8: just isn't producing. Can they keep up with Dallas on

302
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 8: the road here?

303
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I think it's a much better defense.

304
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 1: Coaching edge defensive edge.

305
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 5: And the game. The games now matter a lot for

306
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 5: the Chargers.

307
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 1: Now, now Dallas, you know, with a defensive coordinator getting

308
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 1: called out by Jerry Jones, you'll probably get an inspired

309
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 1: effort by Dallas. But I you know, when I get

310
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 1: a quarterback, coach, defense edge and Dak's played well, I'd

311
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 1: probably take the Chargers.

312
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 5: It's interesting.

313
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 8: So jesse Minter, I believe he's he's going to be

314
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 8: like the number one candidate for many teams.

315
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 5: Colin, if you watch that the Chiefs were up thirteen

316
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 5: to three and a half, jesse Minter's defense held the

317
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 5: Chiefs to zero points in the second half in Arrowhead

318
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 5: with the season on the line.

319
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 8: This quarter scheme that he's got cooking up. Jalen Hurts

320
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 8: had his worst game of the season. I mean, listen,

321
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 8: I don't know what to tell you. This defense, if

322
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 8: they could contain Dallas, I think you've got to consider

323
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 8: mintor the favorite for either Tennessee or Dallas or one

324
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 8: of these jobs. I mean, he's just been outstanding. I

325
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 8: was leaning Cowboys, but it's probably a pass for me.

326
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 8: Next up, let's go to Jackson Dart. You seem to

327
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 8: think that there's something there a colonel of a franchise quarterback.

328
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, we'll see.

329
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 8: Interestingly, this year's Hard Knocks in season, there was a

330
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 8: fascinating clip that circulated about Dan Quinn as well as

331
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 8: the Commander's defensive coordinator encouraging their players to treat Dart

332
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 8: like a running back. They essentially were saying, don't worry

333
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 8: about the passing, he's a running back. Here's Dart's reaction

334
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 8: to hearing these coaches essentially say, treat him like a

335
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 8: running back.

336
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:06,960
Speaker 10: No, absolutely, absolutely not. I mean Kirby Smart said the

337
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:08,679
Speaker 10: exact same thing every time that he played against me.

338
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:10,639
Speaker 10: So didn Nick Saban, So did every coach that I

339
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 10: played in college. So this is nothing new. You know,

340
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 10: just try to, you know, go out there to play

341
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:18,160
Speaker 10: smart and be available for your team.

342
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 3: It just gets me excited.

343
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 10: I mean, just has a competitor, Uh, you want to

344
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 10: go out there and compete, and you know, obviously like

345
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:28,679
Speaker 10: their acknowledging respect you know in a way too. So

346
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:30,479
Speaker 10: you know, I appreciate that.

347
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:37,200
Speaker 5: M defiant like that at all or No.

348
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:39,440
Speaker 1: No, I mean listen, I think it helped. He played

349
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:42,439
Speaker 1: for a very smart offensive coach and Lane Kiffin. So

350
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 1: I think he is ahead of the curve where most

351
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 1: rookies are and his and he's been better than I thought.

352
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:49,880
Speaker 1: I you know, I thought he was an NFL quarterback,

353
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 1: but I didn't think you'd have a ninety four passer

354
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:54,720
Speaker 1: rating his last five games, He's played really, really well.

355
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:57,879
Speaker 5: I like I like his movement.

356
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 1: You know, the blue tent stuff is the league's fast

357
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:06,160
Speaker 1: linebackers and safeties get on you really fast. And Justin

358
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 1: Herbert had some of these early years. Drake may Whether

359
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 1: you take shots you shouldn't take, but last five games

360
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 1: completion percentage ten to one TD to interception ratio. You

361
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 1: can't deny the numbers. And this is a team without

362
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 1: a number one back, a number one dominant tight end,

363
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 1: or a number one receiver.

364
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:25,280
Speaker 5: Interesting, I'm looking at the last five games he played in.

365
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 5: So they lost to.

366
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:29,480
Speaker 8: Washington, lost to the Patriots, lost of the Bears, lost

367
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 8: of the Niners.

368
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:32,280
Speaker 5: Are you detecting a theme? Lost to the Eagles.

369
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 8: So I know the numbers appear good, but on a

370
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 8: down to down basis, they're not that good. Dart And again,

371
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:41,119
Speaker 8: I know you like him, Colin. Early in the season,

372
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:43,399
Speaker 8: I was like, Oh, this guy's got something. I wonder if.

373
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:46,640
Speaker 5: Defense is caught up to him, because I'm not seeing

374
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:49,440
Speaker 5: as much of a threat. Now there's no scataboo, there's

375
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:50,640
Speaker 5: no neighbors to be fair.

376
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 1: Well, thos our two best players, he didn't have his

377
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:53,640
Speaker 1: two best guys pretty much?

378
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:56,880
Speaker 8: Does Dart remind you of like a Cobra Kai from

379
00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 8: the movie Karate Kid. He's got like the blonde hair,

380
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:01,520
Speaker 8: the kind of fine he's puffing the chest out.

381
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:05,119
Speaker 5: He looks like I know you laugh when I say this,

382
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 5: but he looks like a cool guy, you know heraim.

383
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:11,160
Speaker 1: Honestly, he reminds me of a more athletic Baker Mayfield.

384
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:13,440
Speaker 1: I think I think he's a I think he's a

385
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 1: better runner than Baker. Maybe not Brad, but he reminds

386
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 1: me a little bit of Baker Mayfield. A little chip

387
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 1: on his shoulder. Uh, he's a better runner than Baker is,

388
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 1: but he's he's can be a little reckless sometimes with

389
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 1: his body. Baker similarly knocked out his shoulder squaring up

390
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 1: a safety after a pick.

391
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:33,480
Speaker 5: There's a little Baker Mayfield here. It reminds me of

392
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:35,680
Speaker 5: my kid as well. Just he has all the answers

393
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:39,359
Speaker 5: and it just Jackson Dart looks like he knows everything. Kellen,

394
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 5: we're gonna be talking about this game in headlines, very shortening. Okay,

395
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:45,960
Speaker 5: all right, let's go. Let's go to the final story here,

396
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:48,639
Speaker 5: and that is Pittsburgh and Detroit.

397
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:51,919
Speaker 8: Actually pretty good game, and you know what this is

398
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 8: gonna be in headliness next next segment as well. I

399
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:58,399
Speaker 8: don't know what to make of the Lions and you know,

400
00:19:58,440 --> 00:19:59,919
Speaker 8: are they gonna get back into the playoff mix?

401
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 3: Well?

402
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 8: Aiden Hutchison gave us a good SoundBite. He said, the

403
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 8: last time he faced Aaron Rodgers, it was in his

404
00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:07,680
Speaker 8: rookie year, and you know what he did.

405
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 5: He picked off the Hall of Famer as a.

406
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:13,400
Speaker 8: Rook Here's Hutchison talking about matching up with Rogers.

407
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 7: I'd love if he threw me another one. That'd be

408
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 7: that'd be great. But uh no, it's he's a competitor man,

409
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 7: and he's he's been doing it at a high level

410
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 7: for a long time. So we all have a ton

411
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:28,400
Speaker 7: of respect for him, and you know that's he's he's

412
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 7: a he's a he's a focus this week for sure.

413
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:34,639
Speaker 5: Did you did you have this in no blazon blazing five?

414
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:36,479
Speaker 5: I forget it was the last one I dropped.

415
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:39,200
Speaker 1: I like Detroit got up to seven, and I said,

416
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 1: all pass, Yeah.

417
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 8: You look at that Steelers injury report off the short week.

418
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:46,480
Speaker 8: Take a gander at that. All right, Well we'll have

419
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 8: an update for you shortly. But I think there's a

420
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:52,879
Speaker 8: good game is Detroit did though.

421
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:54,199
Speaker 5: In the NFC. I don't know if they can get

422
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 5: back in.

423
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 1: I mean, they just don't teams. They don't look like

424
00:20:57,640 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 1: the Rams or Seattle. I'll tell you that. They don't

425
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:00,399
Speaker 1: look like that at.

426
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 5: Uh yeah, do they look like Chicago? Can we get

427
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:07,360
Speaker 5: to that level? Forget the Rams? Yeah, they look more

428
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 5: like Chicago. Flawed but good. Is that a good offensive

429
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 5: coordinator job? By the way, Detroit, Yeah, Larry, they should

430
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 5: be able to get whoever they want.

431
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 8: I mean, Goss Gibbs, I'm around, Radolporta will be back

432
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:20,640
Speaker 8: next year.

433
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 5: Jamison Williams like they've got all the pieces, you know.

434
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 2: J Mackle the news, Well that's the news, and thanks

Speaker 1: Next week it's Christmas week. J McK and I yule

441
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 1: Tide spirit, but not today, not now. It is week sixteen.

442
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:04,440
Speaker 1: We call it Tomorrow's headlines today and let's roll it.

443
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:10,280
Speaker 1: Jmack Tomorrow on Fox Packers at the Bears, who you got.

444
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:13,439
Speaker 8: Great game on Saturday. I know you'll be really locked

445
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:15,920
Speaker 8: in for this rooting for your Bears. The headline for

446
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 8: Packers Bears on Fox will be ben if it's package

447
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:25,119
Speaker 8: Bears get more PTO playoff time off.

448
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:26,440
Speaker 5: I'm rocking with you on this one.

449
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:30,680
Speaker 8: I like Chicago to get a little revenge on the Packers. Now,

450
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 8: I do have to admit there was a great SoundBite

451
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:34,399
Speaker 8: from Jeff Haffley. I think you talked about it the

452
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 8: Packers defensive cordator. Essentially, he's like I prepared from February

453
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:41,920
Speaker 8: to August for a defense in Green Bay that would

454
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:43,880
Speaker 8: not have Michael Parsons because he was still on Dallas.

455
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:47,119
Speaker 8: So I don't think there's a massive drop off for

456
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:49,480
Speaker 8: the Packers. The problem is the injuries are mounting right.

457
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 5: I mean, we're seeing the safety Williams, he's out, he

458
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:54,480
Speaker 5: lead them in interceptions, and then how do you get

459
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:58,720
Speaker 5: past pressure on Caleb Williams. Without Michael Parsons, the Bear's

460
00:22:58,760 --> 00:22:59,840
Speaker 5: whole line has been great.

461
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:03,240
Speaker 8: Yeah, they didn't have to blitz at all with Micah,

462
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:05,120
Speaker 8: So ultimately I think Caleb in the run Gab will

463
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:07,159
Speaker 8: be fine. But for me, the big one is I

464
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 8: think Dennis Allen learned his lesson in the earlier meeting.

465
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:13,200
Speaker 5: You can't blitz Jordan Love. You can't leave your DB's on.

466
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:16,000
Speaker 8: An island against Christian Watson. Now, the good news is

467
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 8: Watson may not play. It's looking like he's touch and go.

468
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 8: But they're also down Zach Tom the offensive lineman. I

469
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:25,640
Speaker 8: do believe forty two percent last time they blitzed Love.

470
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:27,840
Speaker 8: That number's got to drop way down. Colin Love is

471
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:29,680
Speaker 8: just gonna kill them on the back end. So I'll

472
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 8: go Bears in a low scoring affair, maybe a nineteen

473
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 8: sixteen thriller.

474
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:40,400
Speaker 1: Tomorrow's headlines today, Hi Kings and JJ McCarthy against the Giants.

475
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:41,399
Speaker 5: Two teams with nothing to play for.

476
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:43,359
Speaker 8: But oh, this is gonna be fun because you know

477
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:45,919
Speaker 8: I'm a JJ McCarthy guy, You're a Jackson Dart guy.

478
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 5: We're head to head. The headline for the Vikings at

479
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:54,359
Speaker 5: the Giants will be. We've built this gritty Minnesota Rocks

480
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 5: and Skulls over New York.

481
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:56,160
Speaker 4: Colin.

482
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:59,359
Speaker 8: I got a fun number for you, Okay, Brian Flores,

483
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:02,160
Speaker 8: great defense, it's coordinator. They haven't been at full strength

484
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:05,199
Speaker 8: much of the season. They're cooking right now. He is

485
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:08,560
Speaker 8: against rookie quarterbacks, seven too and two against the spread.

486
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:11,359
Speaker 8: And how about this straight up ten and one in

487
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:15,399
Speaker 8: his career against rookie quarterbacks. He's got intricate schemes. The

488
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:18,680
Speaker 8: rookies never know where the blitz is coming from. Van Grinkle,

489
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:21,920
Speaker 8: the awesome edge rusher. You don't know where he's coming from.

490
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:24,400
Speaker 8: And I think Dart's really going to struggle here.

491
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:26,960
Speaker 5: Also, I'll just say this about JJ McCarthy. I know

492
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:28,520
Speaker 5: we've kind of pushed it to the back burner because

493
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 5: they're eliminated. He has shown really well the last couple

494
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:33,200
Speaker 5: of weeks. Now, go ahead, go ahead.

495
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:36,640
Speaker 1: I mean it is against Dallas and the Commander's defense

496
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 1: also true.

497
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:39,040
Speaker 5: Well, you know what, it's not like the Giants already better.

498
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:41,919
Speaker 8: They're thirty first in the league in pass defense, so

499
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 8: they're not stopping anybody. And I do I know I

500
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 8: sound like the boy who cried Wolf Hey, Justin Jefferson,

501
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:49,679
Speaker 8: He's due. It's gonna work. I think this is the

502
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:53,240
Speaker 8: week that he catches fire in New York. I like

503
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:55,200
Speaker 8: the Vikings here and somewhat convincingly.

504
00:24:55,720 --> 00:25:00,719
Speaker 1: Tomorrow's headlines today Joe Burrow and the Bengals offush, shutout,

505
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:03,800
Speaker 1: angry at Miami, and quinn Ewers.

506
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, Joe Burrow very talkative. I wonder what the.

507
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:08,720
Speaker 8: Media is gonna ask him about after this one. The

508
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:14,520
Speaker 8: headline for Bengals at Dolphins will be quinn and out.

509
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:20,520
Speaker 8: Bengals devoured Dolphins animal style. Little Hamburger action for you there, Colin.

510
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:21,160
Speaker 5: I like the bank.

511
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:23,360
Speaker 8: This is my first bet of the week before they

512
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 8: made the quarterback change.

513
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 5: It's now up to four and a half. We don't

514
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 5: know what quinn Ewers is gonna do. He was a

515
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:31,240
Speaker 5: highly claimed high school kid. He was good at Texas.

516
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:32,639
Speaker 5: I think he got to the playoff twice.

517
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:36,639
Speaker 8: Here's my thing, this is a perfect setup for yours

518
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 8: to do some damage. The Bengals defense stinks. We know this,

519
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:41,199
Speaker 8: but I do believe Burrow. He's not gonna be able

520
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:41,560
Speaker 8: to keep.

521
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:43,720
Speaker 5: Up with Burrow. Colin, the news just broke.

522
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:46,920
Speaker 8: Micka Fitzpatrick will not play for the Dolphins this week.

523
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:50,159
Speaker 8: He's injured and the leading tackler on the Dolphins Jordan Brooks,

524
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:52,280
Speaker 8: He's actually the number one tackler in the NFL.

525
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 5: He's TBD.

526
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 8: He's misspractice all week. He's out there today. If they're down,

527
00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:59,880
Speaker 8: their two best defenders, Burrow and Chase are gonna catch

528
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:03,959
Speaker 8: in the warm weather. Remember you don't show well last week.

529
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 8: If you're Burrow, you bounce back strong. I would not

530
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 8: be surprised if Cincinnati hung a forty burger on Miami

531
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 8: short week.

532
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:12,159
Speaker 5: Give me the Bengals.

533
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:15,680
Speaker 1: Here tomorrow's headlines today. I know where you're leaning here,

534
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:19,480
Speaker 1: Chiefs at the lowly Tennessee Titans.

535
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 5: Oh, I thought you're gonna say that Titans hosting the

536
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 5: lowly Chiefs. But that's a little harsh. I don't want

537
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:27,159
Speaker 5: your guy Nick to feel too bad. The headline for

538
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:34,200
Speaker 5: Chiefs at Titans will be we are never ever ever.

539
00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:37,720
Speaker 8: Gonna play together. Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelsey has done.

540
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:40,679
Speaker 8: They're never gonna play together again. Kelsey, we know is

541
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:43,639
Speaker 8: gonna be bouncing to be a celebrity and a podcast

542
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:46,680
Speaker 8: after the season. Colin is a little bit sad. Gardner,

543
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:49,920
Speaker 8: Minshew getting to start. Mahomes obviously just had surgery this week.

544
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:54,359
Speaker 5: But I gotta ask you, the Chiefs often stunk with Mahomes.

545
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:56,439
Speaker 5: What are they gonna do with Gardner Minshew?

546
00:26:56,600 --> 00:27:01,480
Speaker 8: And the Chiefs just announced Colin moments ago that these players.

547
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 5: Did not practice today.

548
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:06,800
Speaker 8: Right tackle Juwan Taylor swing tackled Jalen Moore, Rashi Rice

549
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:11,000
Speaker 8: Can cussed Taekwon Thornton, Can cussed two other defenders and oh,

550
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 8: by the way, a third in Trent McDuffie. They could

551
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:17,439
Speaker 8: be down six starters against the Titans. This line was

552
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:19,119
Speaker 8: four and a half, three and a half.

553
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:19,880
Speaker 5: It's a three.

554
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 8: I mean, Tennessee on the money line is going to

555
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 8: be live and here's a fun number. I know the

556
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:26,679
Speaker 8: Titans stink during the mix for the number one pick, Colin,

557
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 8: we just heard from the former Washington coach talking about

558
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:32,639
Speaker 8: how you end the season. Did you know in the

559
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:34,639
Speaker 8: last six games the Titans are for to one and

560
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 8: one against the spread, and that's facing five playoff teams,

561
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:38,960
Speaker 8: so they're trying hard.

562
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:39,440
Speaker 5: Still.

563
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:42,000
Speaker 8: I just wonder what the mindset is from the Chiefs. Hey,

564
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:44,960
Speaker 8: we're in the AFC Championship every year. Now we gotta

565
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 8: play the Titans meaning nothing. Listen, if you're into olt lines,

566
00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 8: Tennessee by double digits, is that in play here?

567
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:54,919
Speaker 5: I don't know. I mean this literally could be one

568
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:56,840
Speaker 5: of the bigger surprises of the season. But I like

569
00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 5: Tennessee to win out right.

570
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:02,879
Speaker 1: Tomorrow's headlines today, I like the Lions here. It was

571
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:05,720
Speaker 1: the last blazing five pick. I did not pick.

572
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:07,680
Speaker 3: What say you?

573
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:09,600
Speaker 8: Yeah, well, we went with a six pack this week

574
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:10,359
Speaker 8: because I'm not kind.

575
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:13,520
Speaker 5: Of feeling myself. You know, it's it's December. Getting excited.

576
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:14,080
Speaker 5: Here we go.

577
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:18,280
Speaker 8: The headline four Steelers at the Lions will be he

578
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:24,080
Speaker 8: who smelt it, dealt it. Lions turned steel curtain into tinfoil.

579
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:27,679
Speaker 5: I like Detroit here laying a touchdown. Colin Again, it

580
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:28,960
Speaker 5: is a short week for Pittsburgh.

581
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:31,199
Speaker 8: You've got an old quarterback going into a job to

582
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:32,800
Speaker 8: face Aiden Hutchison.

583
00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:36,159
Speaker 5: Okay, we know that the Steelers offensive lines been mediocre.

584
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 8: Aiden Hutchison is an animal coming off the edge, and

585
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:42,479
Speaker 8: I do wonder that Detroit offense, Colin. We saw them

586
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 8: light the rams up last week twenty four points in

587
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 8: the first half. What are they going to do to

588
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 8: a Steelers defense? By the way, herbig trending toward not playing.

589
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 8: TJ Watt not gonna play.

590
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:54,280
Speaker 5: I don't see how the Lions can't pick their number

591
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:56,320
Speaker 5: here in one of the highest totals on the board.

592
00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:57,280
Speaker 5: Give me the Lions.

593
00:28:56,960 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 1: Here Finally tomorrow headlines today, I think the Patriots win

594
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:07,360
Speaker 1: close against the Ravens. Ravens passing game and passing defense

595
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 1: are broke.

596
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:09,600
Speaker 5: What do you make of it?

597
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:11,120
Speaker 8: You know, I kind of I saw your pick here.

598
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:12,880
Speaker 8: I was like, let me just crowbar in another one.

599
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:14,320
Speaker 8: I'm feeling myself.

600
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:20,080
Speaker 5: The headline for Ravens Patriots will be Ravens Glare Lamar

601
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:23,480
Speaker 5: bombs in air, pat Stars get spangled.

602
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 8: Colin, I'm worried about your Patriots. Okay, that's second half

603
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:30,320
Speaker 8: against Buffalo. How can you not ignore that they could

604
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 8: not stop Josh Allen a running quarterback Josh Allen eleven

605
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:38,480
Speaker 8: carries last week. Enter Lamar Jackson, who has not run

606
00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:41,480
Speaker 8: well this season. No, but this sets up for a spot. Lamar,

607
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:43,960
Speaker 8: hey carry us the way Josh did. You're a two

608
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 8: time MVP. And oh, by the way, the Patriots I

609
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:48,240
Speaker 8: looked at their schemes. A lot of too high safety,

610
00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:52,160
Speaker 8: a lot of own invites running games Derek Henry and

611
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:54,600
Speaker 8: Lamar Jackson should go for a buck fifty to two

612
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:55,160
Speaker 8: hundred year.

613
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:56,760
Speaker 5: I'm gonna go with the Ravens.

614
00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:56,880
Speaker 1: Now.

615
00:29:56,880 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 8: I'm probably an idiot feeling like, Okay, the raven you know, Colin,

616
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:03,400
Speaker 8: this is still has the nucleus of a good team.

617
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:06,120
Speaker 8: I still believe they get in the playoffs. They're dangerous.

618
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:07,480
Speaker 8: We don't think Pittsburgh is.

619
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:10,960
Speaker 5: I do. I don't know if you think the Ravens

620
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:13,200
Speaker 5: are dangerous, but I respect them.

621
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:17,880
Speaker 1: But the Cincinnati game, Cincinnati had no juice, was not

622
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 1: ready to play. I don't make a take a lot

623
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:23,280
Speaker 1: out of it. And also New England won like ten

624
00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:26,200
Speaker 1: games in a row. They are really well coached, really

625
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 1: well quarterback. Over the last five games, Lamar is completing

626
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 1: fifty five percent of his throws, Drake may seventy. It

627
00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:36,200
Speaker 1: just feels like to me, New England will be able

628
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:40,720
Speaker 1: to play a little keep away, move the chains underneath stuff.

629
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:43,440
Speaker 1: I think it's low scoring. I think it's good. I

630
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:45,560
Speaker 1: just didn't like the number. I thought three was too

631
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:50,360
Speaker 1: many to give a great coaching staff and a productive offense.

632
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:54,600
Speaker 8: By the way, the dead last in red zone defense, Patriots,

633
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 8: they're giving up touchdowns on seventy five percent of red

634
00:30:58,360 --> 00:30:58,920
Speaker 8: zone trips.

635
00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 5: So I know, so this everything lines up for Lamar here.

636
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:04,120
Speaker 8: And by the way, you got admit you would love

637
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:07,240
Speaker 8: to see Week eighteen forty nine ers were Seahawks for

638
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:10,160
Speaker 8: the number one seed and Steelers Ravens for a playoffs.

639
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:13,960
Speaker 1: That would be great, That would be great, nice job

640
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:18,040
Speaker 1: college football playoffs. And I think what's interesting is if

641
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:22,360
Speaker 1: Kaylin Debor loses as Alabama's coach, there's a lot of

642
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 1: belief that he will go to Michigan. I think Michigan

643
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:28,000
Speaker 1: Alabama historically is the better job, but I think.

644
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:28,880
Speaker 5: There's a little bit more.

645
00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:35,720
Speaker 1: Michigan is a blue blood, a northern huge endowment money,

646
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:39,720
Speaker 1: never a shortage, great school, great history. I think the

647
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:42,280
Speaker 1: Big Ten's got more money right now than the SEC

648
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:45,400
Speaker 1: does with its top schools. I would take the Michigan

649
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:50,440
Speaker 1: job in Michigan's athletic departments had some real missteps. So

650
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 1: I think Ohio State wins the Natty. I think Julian

651
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:56,800
Speaker 1: sand will handle it. I don't think George is as

652
00:31:56,840 --> 00:32:00,240
Speaker 1: good as previous years. A lot of those wins, and

653
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:06,560
Speaker 1: I think I think Oregon Texas Tech in the semifinals

654
00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:07,480
Speaker 1: is fascinating.

655
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:09,320
Speaker 5: Hey, let me let me ask you on to Bor.

656
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:12,840
Speaker 8: Do you think he's taking that job like soon or

657
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:15,520
Speaker 8: would he wait for the ad to get booted because

658
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:18,080
Speaker 8: there's been so many scandals, apparently the hockey team out

659
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:20,240
Speaker 8: of scandal. We know, the basketball stuff with Juwan Howard,

660
00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:23,120
Speaker 8: like the whole athletic department has had a lot of issues.

661
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:25,240
Speaker 8: I wonder if Debor says, let me just wait for

662
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:27,480
Speaker 8: you guys to find your ad, then I'll come on board.

663
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:28,400
Speaker 2: Yeah.

664
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:34,240
Speaker 1: I mean, I you gave me those that quarterback for

665
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:39,040
Speaker 1: Michigan and those receivers, and I'm an offensive coach. I'd

666
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:41,000
Speaker 1: want to get my hands on that. And and by

667
00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:45,720
Speaker 1: the way, Sharon Moore and Harbaugh, he's got some players

668
00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:48,720
Speaker 1: still in that program. They recruited at a very high level.

669
00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:52,400
Speaker 1: And so I mean, listen to Big ten. You gotta pay.

670
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 1: You gotta face Oregon now, in USC now in Washington,

671
00:32:56,160 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 1: now it's in Indiana's a power. So both jobs, yeah,

672
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:05,040
Speaker 1: brutal schedules. I I think if I was Kalin de Born,

673
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:08,400
Speaker 1: my history was Northern schools, I would probably take the

674
00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:13,200
Speaker 1: Michigan job. That's that's probably what I would do. So

675
00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:17,960
Speaker 1: I can't wait have a great weekend.
