12
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:37,479
Speaker 1: Happy New Year to you and yours.

13
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 2: What's going on, Andy, how's everything.

14
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:43,239
Speaker 1: It's good to hear your voice. Is always great seeing you,

15
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:45,560
Speaker 1: great being with you. And I tell you what, there's

16
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 1: a little bit of a controversy from last night's Detroit

17
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 1: lyon Dallas Cowboys game. But before we get into that,

18
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 1: because I gotta get myself warmped up, I'm waiting for

19
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 1: the bull seed. I love the college bowl season. Now

20
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 1: I got to ask the question, is that bullseat really

21
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 1: worth it? You know, I'm watching that game I had

22
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:05,400
Speaker 1: to turn it off. It was ugly Florida State. Everybody

23
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 1: whining and crying why Florida State's not in the Final four.

24
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 1: They get trashed by Georgia sixty three to three. But

25
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 1: Florida State's playing without get this, their top two quarterbacks,

26
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 1: top two running backs, top two receivers, starting tight end,

27
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 1: three starting defensive linemen, and two of three starting linebackers

28
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 1: and of course three starting defensive back. They were down

29
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:30,319
Speaker 1: twenty nine scholarship players. It's it's ridiculous. Look, we call

30
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 1: got this ad nauseum and you talk about the the portal.

31
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 1: I'm not pro, not negative, not whatever it might be

32
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:39,320
Speaker 1: with the portal. It's okay, guys want to transfer, thats fine,

33
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 1: but please let the portal get going after the ball season.

34
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 1: It's ridiculous, Bucky, isn't it.

35
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 2: Yeah?

36
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 3: That was hard to watch, and I feel bad for

37
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 3: all the Florida State fans, all the people associated with

38
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 3: the program because they they tried to do.

39
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 2: Where they could.

40
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 3: They were undefeated during the regular season, but they get

41
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 3: to the bowl game and they don't have any of

42
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 3: the guys available, and it's not really fair to Mike

43
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 3: Normal and those guys.

44
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 2: To put that kind of product on the field.

45
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,920
Speaker 3: And to Georgia's credit, like Georgia, I felt like Georgia

46
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 3: was being very sympathetic to their plight because that game

47
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 3: was whatever was sixty eight or sixty ninety three. It

48
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 3: could have been much worse if Georgia kept hammering down

49
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,800
Speaker 3: on the nose. And so I think what Kirby Smart

50
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 3: said after the game when he talked about, like we

51
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 3: have to make a decision. College football has to make

52
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 3: a decision on what they want to do, Like, yeah,

53
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 3: twelve teams go to the playoffs, but what about those

54
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:36,920
Speaker 3: other teams? They have to figure it out Because I

55
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 3: watch Carolina play without guys. I watched a lot of

56
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 3: these teams play without their people, and I understand it,

57
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 3: but I mean, what's the point of putting on an

58
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 3: exhibition if you're not going to get a quality exhibition?

59
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 4: Right?

60
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 1: And I watched the plat of doing that if you're

61
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 1: watching a team play with certain players all year long

62
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 1: and then out there for the big game. For example,

63
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 1: Kyler McCord, the quarter back for Ohio State. Ohio State

64
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,799
Speaker 1: loses to Missouri fourteenth to three. Oh my good, are

65
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:03,799
Speaker 1: you kidding me? How does this happen. And why is

66
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 1: Carlin McCord going to Syracuse because maybe they're a top bidder.

67
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:09,919
Speaker 1: Is that the reason why he's going to Syracuse because

68
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:11,799
Speaker 1: they're giving them more money. I don't get it. I

69
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 1: don't understand how these things are even happening. Bucket explained it.

70
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,640
Speaker 3: To me, Well, the thing about Callum McCord, what I

71
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 3: wonder is like Buckeye fans didn't seem like.

72
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 2: They wanted him in general, you know what I'm saying.

73
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 3: Like he for a first time started he played pretty

74
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,679
Speaker 3: well for the buck Eyes, but there was always seemingly

75
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 3: this deesired to want more.

76
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 2: For the position. So he's like, look, I'm going I'm

77
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 2: gonna go somewhere where' gonna be appreciated. So he leaves.

78
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 3: But the fact that you're Ohio State and you don't

79
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 3: have another quarterback that could that could play like another functional,

80
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 3: serviceable quarterback, to me, that is more the telling thing.

81
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 3: And what we saw from all of these opt outs.

82
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 3: You see the depth of the program, like all these

83
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 3: recruiting lists, all these people that talk about these great

84
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 3: things for these players. When it comes to signing day,

85
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 3: like you begin to wonder how much of that hype

86
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 3: is really really hype versus real analysis on how good

87
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 3: these players really are.

88
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 1: It's amazing. Really, college football right now has become just

89
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 1: nothing more than a money grab. There's no more purity.

90
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to be a Pollyanna here, a guy

91
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 1: with rose colored glasses. I get it. But if I'm

92
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:17,840
Speaker 1: watching a team play all year long, I want to

93
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:20,040
Speaker 1: see the same guys that got them to that point

94
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: in the playoffs or a bowl game, and they're not there.

95
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 1: That's the problem. It's ridiculous, it really is. But what

96
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 1: are you gonna do? I mean, I saw USC Miller

97
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 1: Moss with six touchdowns. We didn't see Caleb Williams skuy

98
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 1: won the Heisman a year ago. He's not even playing.

99
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 1: So just I guess I gotta get used to it.

100
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 1: Just as the way it's going.

101
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 2: To be, right, Yeah, No, that's the way it's going

102
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 2: to be.

103
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 3: But I will say, and maybe the lesson to be

104
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 3: learned from all of this, programs are going to have

105
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:50,159
Speaker 3: to kind of make a decision because what you saw

106
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 3: is a lot of the opt outs were also transfers

107
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 3: in those things, whereas when SC played, they played with

108
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 3: a lot of local products. A lot of three stars,

109
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 3: but guys that were really close to USC, meaning in proximity,

110
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 3: southern California guys, and maybe, just maybe you.

111
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 2: Have to make a decision.

112
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 3: Do we want to be a developmental program where maybe

113
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:10,799
Speaker 3: we miss out on some of the four and five stars,

114
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 3: but we get guys that really love the university where

115
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:17,160
Speaker 3: they're at, they're committed to being a part of the

116
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 3: program for the long term.

117
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,839
Speaker 2: Because you know, look, I think it's difficult.

118
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,119
Speaker 3: We've talked about like Dabbo not getting to the portal,

119
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 3: but Dabbo finished the year with ten wins despite being

120
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,040
Speaker 3: four and four at one point. I do believe there's

121
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,839
Speaker 3: something too. No, no, no, We're not going to try and

122
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 3: do this with a bunch of transients or mercenaries, guys

123
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,280
Speaker 3: that are coming in for one year than out the

124
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 3: next year.

125
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:39,839
Speaker 2: It's really hard to do.

126
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 3: Maybe they're gonna be a little more committed to developing,

127
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 3: much like an Arizona did, where Arizona took a lot

128
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 3: of guys and just kind of developed them and they've

129
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:50,839
Speaker 3: been there for the long call, and they're recruiting to

130
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 3: replace those guys with high school guys as opposed to

131
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:58,839
Speaker 3: portal guys, maybe that's you know, we've done this portal

132
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 3: thing for a couple of years. Maybe the worm turns

133
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:03,599
Speaker 3: and he goes back to a little more of a

134
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:04,599
Speaker 3: developmental approach.

135
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 1: Sounds great. Okay, Now let's go to Arlington, Texas. Last night,

136
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,480
Speaker 1: the Detroit Lions visiting the Dallas Cowboys. Dallas go was

137
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 1: undefeated at home this year eight no. But look, a

138
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:17,840
Speaker 1: controversial penalty negated what would have been the go ahead

139
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 1: two point conversion late in the game. Last night, the

140
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 1: Lions lose twenty nineteen. And if you hadn't seen it,

141
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 1: you hadn't heard about it yet and watched the replay.

142
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 1: The officials flagged the Detroit Lions offensive lineman Taylor Decker

143
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 1: after he caught a pass that looked like a potential

144
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,839
Speaker 1: winner with about twenty three seconds left in the game. However,

145
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 1: Decker then was called for an illegal touching penalty for

146
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 1: not reporting as Elisbrile. And there's some controversy saying that

147
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,279
Speaker 1: he did. Some teammates say he didn't. The officials said

148
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,280
Speaker 1: that basically he did not.

149
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 2: Okay.

150
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:51,599
Speaker 1: In the pool report, the referee Brett Allen said that Skipper,

151
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 1: another offensive lineman, reported to him as Eligsbrill and Decker

152
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 1: did not Dan Skipper. So you watched the game, what

153
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 1: was your thought? My process was that Dan Campbell the

154
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:03,600
Speaker 1: coaching alliance was just a little bit too cute. You

155
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 1: had three opportunities for that two point conversion, you know,

156
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 1: after you failed twice, go for the extra point, go

157
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 1: for a tie, and see what you could doing overtime.

158
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:15,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know a couple of things to think about

159
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 3: overtime and that stuff, because I did consider that one.

160
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 3: I felt like the officials just kind of blew the call.

161
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 3: And maybe in the.

162
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 2: Maybe the chaos of the moment where.

163
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 3: You have a two point play game on the line,

164
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 3: you have three offensive linemen kind of in your proximity,

165
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 3: but you never it doesn't appear on the replay that

166
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 3: he's really paying attention to the two that are standing

167
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 3: right in front of his face, kind of like you

168
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 3: can't see the forest for the trees.

169
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 2: So he sees seventy, doesn't really acknowledge.

170
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 3: Like Taylor Decker and Penne Sewell, who were both right

171
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 3: there in front of him, And then you make the

172
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 3: play and the call and those things, and so you

173
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 3: have to redo it for Detroit and Dan Campbell, maybe

174
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 3: you resist the urge to go into overtime because you

175
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 3: don't want a court like a player safety issue. Depending

176
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 3: on how long your defense has been on the field,

177
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 3: how long your offense been on field, do you want

178
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 3: to go into overtime for a game that matters but

179
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 3: doesn't really matter. So maybe that's why Dan Campbell was

180
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 3: so committed for going for two. Either I want to

181
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 3: win or lose it now, but what I don't want

182
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 3: to do is risk my players on another ten minute period.

183
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 3: That's the only thing that I can think of why

184
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 3: after the failure in the botch when it came to

185
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 3: the penalty that he didn't elect the kick it that

186
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 3: he was like, look, man, let's get out of here

187
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 3: one way or another.

188
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 2: We're going to decide it right now and just kind

189
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 2: of figure it out.

190
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,560
Speaker 1: Look from a fans point of view, it was a

191
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:35,560
Speaker 1: great game. There's a lot of drama. It was a

192
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:37,960
Speaker 1: wonderful game. You can't leave that game. No one turned

193
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 1: it off at the end of the game. But you

194
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 1: look at Dan Campbell what he did early in the game.

195
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 1: He was on fourth down, I think on the Cowboys

196
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:47,320
Speaker 1: twenty yard line, and he had a fake punt. It worked.

197
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,719
Speaker 1: The fake punt worked. Dan Campbell probably coached his heart.

198
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:52,840
Speaker 1: I was thinking with his heart rather than his head. Maybe,

199
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 1: I don't know. He kept his offense on the field

200
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 1: for a third two point conversion attempt after they failed

201
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 1: the first two. There was a delayed game penalty in

202
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter that contributed to the loss as well.

203
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 1: The Lions was set to go for the fourth and

204
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 1: goal with the Cowboys seven before that penalty force of

205
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 1: the settle for a field goal. Then they were leading

206
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 1: thirteenth to ten. So many things. I love the fact

207
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:16,320
Speaker 1: that he's a gambler, he goes for it, he's got guts.

208
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:19,080
Speaker 1: I think the team as a whole loves the fact

209
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:20,959
Speaker 1: that that coach believes in them. But there comes a

210
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:23,560
Speaker 1: point in time where you got to say this is

211
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 1: the right thing to do, and I don't think he

212
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 1: did the right thing at the end of the game.

213
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 3: Look, I don't disagree with you when it comes to

214
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 3: like determining what's the right thing, what's the wrong thing,

215
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:37,200
Speaker 3: all that other stuff. I will I will say this,

216
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 3: they were in a position to do it, and falsey

217
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 3: execution is what really got them. So take the penalty

218
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,080
Speaker 3: away on the first one, you had Michael Parson's off side.

219
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 3: On the second one, the third one, the guy's wide opened.

220
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,719
Speaker 3: It wasn't a great pass from Yeah, it wasn't a

221
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 3: great pass. Someone was in this throwing lane, to be fair,

222
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 3: and then they got dropped it. I mean, let's let's

223
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 3: be honest. He dropped the pass. And so like the

224
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 3: play design and all those things are perfect. If you Detroit,

225
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,840
Speaker 3: you're really disappointed because you feel like you walked out

226
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 3: of Dallas without a win that should have been yours,

227
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,079
Speaker 3: whether by call or whether by execution.

228
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:11,960
Speaker 2: That was a game that the Detroit line should have won.

229
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 3: I think they take a lot of confidence away from it,

230
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 3: even though they're not at the point where they need

231
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 3: moral victories. They take a lot of confidence knowing that

232
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 3: the Dallas Cowboys at home have won sixteen in a row,

233
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 3: They have blown the doors off of teams in their building,

234
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 3: and yet this team like look, notwithstanding CD Lamb's outstanding.

235
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 2: Performance, they held them to twenty points.

236
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 3: They held the Cowboys high octane offense to twenty points.

237
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 1: It did average game at home.

238
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a lot.

239
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:42,959
Speaker 3: There's a lot that they can build upon, and it

240
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 3: helped them when they have an opportunity to run that

241
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 3: back maybe in the second round of the playoffs.

242
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 1: Well, you know, it's crazy to me, but everybody's going

243
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:53,080
Speaker 1: to point their finger, and maybe rightfully so at the

244
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 1: last place, you know, when they failed for the two

245
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 1: point conversion. But you know, the Lions obviously played well

246
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,319
Speaker 1: enough to win, but they gave up that ninety two

247
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:06,200
Speaker 1: yard touchdown pass early in the game and that basically

248
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 1: was a backbreaker. That was a backbreaker right there. So

249
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 1: there's a lot of factors that led up to this loss.

250
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:14,319
Speaker 1: But everybody's going to point the finger on the two

251
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:15,959
Speaker 1: point conversion. There's no doubt about that.

252
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 2: Oh absolutely, yeah. There a lot of fact there. But

253
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 2: it's always like that though.

254
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 3: There's always a situation where it's never the final play

255
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 3: of the game. They're a handful of things that have

256
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 3: taken place leading up to that point. They kind of

257
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 3: put you in that spot and they didn't capitalize. They

258
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,079
Speaker 3: didn't take advantage of some of the opportunities that they had.

259
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 3: It took them a while to kind of get into

260
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 3: the moment into the game, but look, they got there,

261
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:42,560
Speaker 3: and I think if you're Dan Campbell, those things are

262
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 3: fixable and it gives them a lot of confidence that

263
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:48,560
Speaker 3: if they match up with them again, they figured out. So,

264
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,080
Speaker 3: Dan Campbell, you're disappointed with the loss. You feel great

265
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 3: about the effort though, no doubt about that.

266
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 1: Let's hear the coach, Dan Campbell after the game. What

267
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:57,440
Speaker 1: do you have to say? Coach, I don't want.

268
00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 5: To talk about it, fight point everything pre game to

269
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:08,079
Speaker 5: the te Okay, I did that? Suddenly reported fifty eight

270
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:10,959
Speaker 5: didn't or sixty eight didn't? We heard sixty eight. That

271
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:11,839
Speaker 5: was the explanation.

272
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 1: Well, look, he's not gonna talk much about it because

273
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:17,840
Speaker 1: if he does, he'll get fined. Like I get that,

274
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 1: you know, and what are you gonna do? They're not

275
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:22,959
Speaker 1: gonna overturn it. I ask you this question because you're

276
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,960
Speaker 1: involved in the NFL, you work for Jacksonville. Will this

277
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:30,080
Speaker 1: be reviewed by the National Football League Office? And will

278
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 1: they be transparent about it? If in fact they made

279
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:33,439
Speaker 1: a mistake, will they admit it?

280
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 3: Oh, it'd definitely be reviewed. It'd be talked about in

281
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 3: those things.

282
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:41,439
Speaker 2: You know. It'd be interesting to see if they if

283
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 2: they end up having a reviewal and an admission of

284
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:46,320
Speaker 2: a mistake.

285
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,960
Speaker 3: You'd like to think that they would, but you know,

286
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 3: like the way that he was so dug in after

287
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 3: the game with the pool report. He may just see

288
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:57,840
Speaker 3: it as a thing that look, man, this is what

289
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 3: I heard, this is what I've seen. But both players

290
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:04,720
Speaker 3: like seventy and sixty eight Taylor Decker, I mean, they

291
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:08,319
Speaker 3: were adamant. I mean just adamant that they that they

292
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:09,560
Speaker 3: took care of business, that they.

293
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 2: Reported and did all those things right.

294
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 1: It's crazy, you know. After the game he snapped at

295
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:18,200
Speaker 1: a reporter, Dan Campbell did and then he apologized to him.

296
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 1: Let's let's take a listen to that one. Let's see

297
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:21,200
Speaker 1: what the coach have to say.

298
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 2: He's a frustration in your face? And ho would you be?

299
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:28,320
Speaker 2: Would you be frustrated right now?

300
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 1: I mean, is it on the call?

301
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 2: Is it on the execution?

302
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 6: Is it?

303
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:34,840
Speaker 5: I don't like losing, Dave, And that's what happened. We lost,

304
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 5: and that bothers me, you know, it bothers me. I

305
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 5: don't like having an l So that's the frustration. I'm

306
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 5: sorry at you.

307
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 1: How stupid could you be? I mean, really, some of

308
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:50,720
Speaker 1: these reporters, I mean, are you frustrated? Yeah, you're frustrated.

309
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 1: You play to win, you didn't win the game.

310
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 2: Sure.

311
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 1: He know, he's happy. He's gonna celebrate now. You know.

312
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 1: I had a question. Sometimes you're better off at times

313
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 1: keeping your mouth allthotle. People tell me that too, but

314
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 1: still at all you're better really, but could did you

315
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 1: hear that? Are you frustrated? Really? I mean Campbell was

316
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 1: a gentleman. He apologized to the reporter.

317
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:14,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, look, this situation, it's one of those

318
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 3: things they were trying to get a response out of him.

319
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:20,880
Speaker 3: Dan Campbell is trying to avoid being fine because if

320
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 3: you make disparaging remarks on an official like, there's a fine,

321
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 3: there's a punitive fine schedule that they have, and he

322
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 3: was trying to avoid that. He was in a no

323
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 3: win situation and I think everyone in that room understood it.

324
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 2: And it's just one of those things.

325
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 1: So I ask you this.

326
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 2: Look, it's tough. Yeah, it's just tough.

327
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 1: I asked you this in all honesty because you played

328
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 1: the game, and you know what it's like to play

329
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 1: the game. I don't I watch it. However, there has

330
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 1: to be someone on that Detroit Lions club going back

331
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 1: into the losing dressing room questioning the call of coach

332
00:14:56,920 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 1: Dan Campbell. Do they go in person they go as

333
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 1: a group individual that goes a coach, Why didn't we

334
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 1: go for the tie? I mean, well, they just suck

335
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 1: it up and that's the end of it. Isn't there

336
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 1: someone or some players questioning what happened at the end

337
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 1: of the game, Like, it's great to be aggressive, but coaching,

338
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 1: you got to reel it in a little bit. You

339
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 1: may have been a little too aggressive.

340
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 3: No, I think it depends on coaches conversations with the team.

341
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 3: Like he said at the beginning of the drive, he

342
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 3: told the team a man, we scored, we can go

343
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 3: for two little man. Players appreciate transparency, they appreciate authenticity.

344
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 3: And if Dan Campbell, if they have been a very

345
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 3: aggressive team from the time he's taken over, they know

346
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 3: what it is and he lives and dies with that

347
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 3: of philosophy and approach. The thing that you have to

348
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 3: be is consistent, and it appears that he's been very

349
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 3: consistent in how he goes about attacking with this team

350
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:50,480
Speaker 3: because it's worked for them.

351
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 2: They won a lot of games the.

352
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 3: Last couple of years, and so I think everybody is

353
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 3: on board with how they do it.

354
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 1: No doubt about that. And I'm on board what you

355
00:15:57,520 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 1: have to say, because you're the football man here, he's Bucky.

356
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 1: Get him on Twitter at Bucky Brooks or at Andy

358
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:08,520

Speaker 1: And we have the Eagles hosting the Arizona Cardinals today,

394
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 1: and I will tell you right now, Bucky Brooks that

395
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 1: at the eleven and four Eagles team is the most

396
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:01,880
Speaker 1: questionable team I've ever seen with the record of eleven four,

397
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:03,639
Speaker 1: you don't know what you get. I mean, they're just

398
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 1: coming off a three game losing streak by beating the

399
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:08,200
Speaker 1: Giants last week, but it was tough. They had San

400
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 1: Francisco Dallas that Seattle lost. It was a shocker twenty seventeen.

401
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:14,719
Speaker 1: But I still can't figure out this Eagles team at

402
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:15,400
Speaker 1: eleven and four.

403
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:18,400
Speaker 2: No, they're a hard team to figure out.

404
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:21,400
Speaker 3: And one of the reasons why is because they've won

405
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:24,199
Speaker 3: a lot of games and they've done it without playing

406
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:28,159
Speaker 3: their best football. And so you're still hoping that the

407
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 3: team that went to the Super Bowl, they're defending NFC

408
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 3: champs to one that kind of dazzled us with the

409
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:38,720
Speaker 3: run game, the explosive passing game, the defense making opportunistic plays.

410
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 2: You're waiting for that team.

411
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:41,919
Speaker 3: To show up, and it's showing up in moments, but

412
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 3: it hasn't been consistent. And you know, but the league

413
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 3: has been inconsistent when you think about the teams that

414
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 3: have had these losing streaks and such, and so the

415
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 3: Eagles have had that losing streak and so we're just

416
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 3: trying to figure out do they have enough time to

417
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:58,360
Speaker 3: kind of put Humpty dumpty back together. Can they put

418
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:00,880
Speaker 3: this back together and going to run they play good

419
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 3: football for the next four or five games and find

420
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:06,680
Speaker 3: themselves back to the super Bowl and winning it. It's there,

421
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:10,000
Speaker 3: like the pieces are there. Jalen Hurts needs to play better.

422
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:13,960
Speaker 3: But I think we're frustrated because we see the talent

423
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,160
Speaker 3: that this team have. We know the potential that they

424
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 3: have after watching them last year. They just haven't realized

425
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:20,200
Speaker 3: that potential yet.

426
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 1: Well, speaking of Jalen Hurts, you said a single season

427
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:26,360
Speaker 1: quarterback record was his fifteenth rushing touchdown. But I will

428
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 1: say this, there's something to be said about teams that

429
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:31,440
Speaker 1: play to the level of that competition. I'm sure you've

430
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:33,960
Speaker 1: heard that many times, you've seen it, but I think

431
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:35,680
Speaker 1: the Eagles have done that at times. They got to

432
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:38,720
Speaker 1: play above the level of that competition because they're better.

433
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 1: They're a better team, and they should really put the

434
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 1: Cardinals away early today. The Cardinals are three and twelve.

435
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 1: They should beat them badly. But again, you got to

436
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:47,359
Speaker 1: play above the level of the competition.

437
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's hard because like even in saying what

438
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:55,399
Speaker 3: you're saying, like they should beat them badly. Nash Football

439
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 3: League man most games are going to be decided by

440
00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,399
Speaker 3: a touchdown or fewer, like eight points and fewer, and

441
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:02,920
Speaker 3: so you have to be willing to enter every game

442
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:05,720
Speaker 3: with a gritty mindset. This is gonna be a tough game.

443
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 3: We got to play our best game. We gotta be

444
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:09,400
Speaker 3: ready to play. This team can beat us, and too

445
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 3: often teams have a tough time just kind of understanding

446
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 3: that the other team, regardless of their record, they still

447
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:18,640
Speaker 3: have NFL players, they still have top talent, and if

448
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:20,880
Speaker 3: you allow them to hang around, if you give them

449
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:25,879
Speaker 3: extra opportunities on turnovers and penalties and just shoddy execution,

450
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:28,480
Speaker 3: that team on the other side, regardless of the record,

451
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 3: they can knock you off.

452
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 1: Right And another team that should win easily today, I

453
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 1: believe the Rams. The Rams are playing at the Giants today,

454
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:37,840
Speaker 1: and the Giants struggle against the run. They don't have

455
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:40,760
Speaker 1: much anything on offense as well, and you talk up

456
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 1: at the offense on the Rams. Since Thanksgiving, the Rams

457
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 1: are averaging over thirty two points a game four to

458
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:49,120
Speaker 1: thirty three yards. That's the last five games. This team

459
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 1: is peaking right now at the right time. I got

460
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 1: to ask you why and how. I guess because Stafford

461
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:59,080
Speaker 1: is healthy, their quarterback Matthew Stafford. Other than that, why

462
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 1: the turnaround. A lot of teams will just die. But

463
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 1: they've turned it around the last five games, and honestly,

464
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:07,560
Speaker 1: this team right now could be making a push to

465
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:09,760
Speaker 1: go deep in the playoffs although they're eight and seven.

466
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:13,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, the reason why it's working is Sean McVay

467
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:16,200
Speaker 3: is going back to his roots. This is a run,

468
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 3: play action pass offense. But because they can run the

469
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:23,400
Speaker 3: football effectively with Karen Williams, they're a very difficult team

470
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:26,439
Speaker 3: to deal with because as the defense coordinated, the toughest

471
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 3: team that you can face is a team that's balanced,

472
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:32,680
Speaker 3: because now you don't really understand how to tee off

473
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:34,960
Speaker 3: on them. It's hard to dictate the terms to a

474
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 3: team that will run it equally as well as they

475
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:39,480
Speaker 3: can pass it. And because they can run the football

476
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:41,399
Speaker 3: with Karen Williams and the offensive line is doing a

477
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:43,760
Speaker 3: really good job of getting pushed at the line of scrimmage. Now,

478
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:46,879
Speaker 3: when Matthew Stafford drops back to pass, whether it's on

479
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 3: play action passes or dropbacks, the defense has to at

480
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 3: least to respect the running game that's created one on

481
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:55,640
Speaker 3: one opportunities for Cooper Cup and Pookin Nakua. And those

482
00:21:55,680 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 3: two guys, Pookinakua and Cooper Cup are interchangeable on the perimeter.

483
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:05,199
Speaker 3: Both got same size, same style of game, and very

484
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 3: very smart, so you can move them around from X

485
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:10,400
Speaker 3: to Z to E to F to wherever you need

486
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:13,639
Speaker 3: to play them on the perimeter. That allows Matthew Stafford

487
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 3: to have a lot of confidence that whoever he's throwing

488
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 3: to is going to be at the right spot and

489
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:19,440
Speaker 3: they're gonna make the players, which is why you've seen

490
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:21,200
Speaker 3: Cup and Nicole have a lot of success.

491
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:24,359
Speaker 1: And Sean mcvagh right now, I guess they win today,

492
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:26,359
Speaker 1: which I think they will. You got to put his

493
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:29,400
Speaker 1: name out there in conversation for the coach of the Year.

494
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 1: I mean, he's done of a job. I think the

495
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 1: Texans right now they're going to solidify that award. But

496
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:36,680
Speaker 1: I think right now what he has done, this team

497
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:39,520
Speaker 1: could have fallen apart. In the last five games, they've

498
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 1: come strong. They really have.

499
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 2: Yeah.

500
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,760
Speaker 3: Now the Coach of the Year race and conversation's gonna

501
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 3: be interesting because as muchs you talk about the Ram,

502
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 3: you're talking about Demiko Rant and job to Houston. I

503
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:52,160
Speaker 3: would say, the nemesis from where you are in Cincinnati.

504
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:52,560
Speaker 2: Would be Cleveland.

505
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:56,720
Speaker 3: The Browns winning what ten or eleven games with four

506
00:22:56,760 --> 00:23:00,960
Speaker 3: different quarterbacks taking snaps, getting Joe Flaco off the couch

507
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:04,480
Speaker 3: and becoming a more dynamic offense with a off the

508
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:08,359
Speaker 3: couch veteran who's falling asleep on the sideline. That's what

509
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 3: they're doing. So Kevin Stevanski deserves to be in that conversation.

510
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 3: A lot of the guys have done great job, shamestykeing with.

511
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 2: The Indianapolis coast.

512
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 3: There are a lot of guys who've exceeded our expectations

513
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 3: who are worthy of consideration as coach of the year.

514
00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 1: You know, I'll give you a lot of credit because

515
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:24,680
Speaker 1: you said way back on August that the Browns and

516
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 1: the team to be wrecking with and honestly, I can't

517
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 1: believe it. Full quarterbacks and they're playing better now than

518
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 1: they would have been playing with Deshaun Watson anyway. I

519
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:35,239
Speaker 1: mean Joe Flacco came back from the dead. I mean

520
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:37,919
Speaker 1: guy was home on his couch and we'll get into that.

521
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,879
Speaker 1: But still, in all, this Browns team right now the

522
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 1: class of that division, and I think that can go

523
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:44,480
Speaker 1: deep in the playoffs, they had a team to beat.

524
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 1: They really are I think right now they're struggling in

525
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:48,880
Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs right now.

526
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:52,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean they're playing better than the Kansa City

527
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:54,320
Speaker 3: Chiefs because they know who they are. Like the thing

528
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:56,480
Speaker 3: about the Cleveland Browns, they know exactly who they are.

529
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:57,920
Speaker 2: They're a defensive driven team.

530
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:00,920
Speaker 3: They've decided to open up the playbook with Joe fla

531
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:03,640
Speaker 3: Kevin Stefansk has a lot of confidence in Joe Flacco.

532
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:06,639
Speaker 3: And we've seen this team overcome the loss of Nick Chubb,

533
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 3: a bunch of offensive linemen. They I mean, you could

534
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:11,960
Speaker 3: say the franchise quarterback and Deshaun Watson. Even though some

535
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:15,480
Speaker 3: would debate that the offense is playing better with Joe Flacco,

536
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:19,359
Speaker 3: they've overcome all those things. That's coaching, like, that's the

537
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:21,919
Speaker 3: testament to his ability to keep them hanging in there.

538
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:23,639
Speaker 3: We saw the Jets fall apart when they lost some

539
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:26,760
Speaker 3: of their pieces completely fall apart, didn't compete, didn't.

540
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:29,200
Speaker 2: Really try through a to tell hey, you with better

541
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:31,560
Speaker 2: luck next year. Not The Browns didn't do that.

542
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:34,240
Speaker 3: They they didn't succumb to the outside noise and because

543
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:37,159
Speaker 3: of it, I mean, they have a legitimate opportunity to

544
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:39,119
Speaker 3: swipe the number one seed by the end of the

545
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:40,879
Speaker 3: by the end of the season.

546
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:43,520

Speaker 7: could then know me.

572
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:48,080
Speaker 2: You don't have to do that too.

573
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:53,960
Speaker 1: I was hoping it would bounce. Really, That's why I

574

00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:47,600
Speaker 4: out there. As for the action on Saturday, Man what

610
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 4: it's been all the talk of the sports world. Cowboys

611
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:55,719
Speaker 4: Lions in Dallas. Controversial ending as the Cowboys do win

612
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 4: it twenty to nineteen after the Lions unable to convert

613
00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 4: on a two point conversion attempt. However, with twenty three

614
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:05,639
Speaker 4: seconds ago, the Lions appeared to take the lead on

615
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:09,240
Speaker 4: a two point conversion pass completion to Taylor Decker, but

616
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 4: referee Brad Allen claimed that Decker did not report as eligible. Instead,

617
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:17,640
Speaker 4: he thought that was his teammate lineman Dan Skipper reporting,

618
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:20,400
Speaker 4: so he said number seventy is eligible, not number sixty eight,

619
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:22,720
Speaker 4: which is Decker's number. So when he caught the ball,

620
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:26,400
Speaker 4: he was called for illegal touching. So the Lions, being

621
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:28,399
Speaker 4: marched back five yards, decided to go for it a

622
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:31,119
Speaker 4: second time a two point conversion instead of kicking the

623
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:35,000
Speaker 4: extra point to sigh it and the Cowboys intercepted it,

624
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:38,120
Speaker 4: but they were called for offside, so they got a

625
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 4: third crack at and you gotta wonder why Dan Campbell

626
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,840
Speaker 4: didn't just kick the extra point at that time, but

627
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:45,760
Speaker 4: decided to go for two once more, and Jared Goff's

628
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:49,920
Speaker 4: pass fell incomplete and the Lions end up falling at

629
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:53,200
Speaker 4: twenty to nineteen at Dan Campbell. People with the Lions

630
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:56,800
Speaker 4: are not happy with how that sequence of events unfolded,

631
00:28:56,880 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 4: especially with the officials in that game. Ask for the

632
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 4: NBA last night Pistons, they're losing streak mercifully over at

633
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:06,760
Speaker 4: twenty eight games. They beat the Raptors one twenty nine

634
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:09,200
Speaker 4: to twenty seven and the Timberwolves over the Lakers one wait,

635
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:12,120
Speaker 4: one oh six. Lebron James unhappy at the end because

636
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:14,040
Speaker 4: he made a light bucket for the Lakers, but it

637
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:16,480
Speaker 4: was called a two pointer. A three would have tied it. Well,

638
00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 4: the Timberwolves at a free throw there at the end

639
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:20,560
Speaker 4: to making a one to wait one oh six victory.

640
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 1: Back to you guys, all right, thank you, There you go,

641
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:25,240

00:29:56,240 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 1: nine eighty amw On E and Dayton, Ohio. Dick from Dayton,

653
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 1: Happy New Year, Thank you for listening.

654
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:06,959
Speaker 8: How are you, Dick, Andy, and Bucky. It's been a

655
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 8: long time. I just wanted to say I used to

656
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:13,480
Speaker 8: call you at seven hundred Wow. And I'm still a

657
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 8: big fan of theirs. You know, Mary jeffis got me

658
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:18,960
Speaker 8: a lut. But I just wanted to say something about

659
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:23,080
Speaker 8: the Bengals without Joe Burrow, they just seemed to falter

660
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:27,400
Speaker 8: a little bit. But you know, I'm just just happy

661
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:29,680
Speaker 8: in the Reds. I think we'll do a little bit better.

662
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:32,600
Speaker 8: But people miss you on seven hundred Andy.

663
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 1: Well, I missed them too. But I have had a

664
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 1: lot of fun with Bucky Brooks because he's the best,

665
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:38,880
Speaker 1: he really is, and I had a good time there,

666
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:41,840
Speaker 1: like something like eighteen years there. That's what Chris collins

667
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 1: Worth in me. But other than that, you know, time

668
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:46,520
Speaker 1: to move on the bigger and better things. And I

669
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:48,440
Speaker 1: wish you and you as a very happy and healthy

670
00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:50,840
Speaker 1: new year. Dick, thank you for listening, thanks for calling.

671
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 8: You're welcome, buddy, have a great day you too.

672
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:55,520
Speaker 1: Okay, now we got to ask Bucky in a couple

673
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:57,520
Speaker 1: of minutes from now. But forty nine has read the

674
00:30:57,520 --> 00:30:59,080
Speaker 1: command there's and Bucky, I got to tell you this.

675
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 1: The commander backup quarterback Jacoby Brissett. He hasn't started a

676
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:05,200
Speaker 1: role this year, but maybe he should have, because for

677
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:07,200
Speaker 1: the second week in a row, he outplayed Sam Howell,

678
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 1: the quarterback as the starter. Relieving him, Brissett led Washington

679
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:15,560
Speaker 1: on a three consecutive touchdown drives. However, they still lost

680
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:19,040
Speaker 1: to the Jets last week so badly the Jets committed

681
00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:21,239
Speaker 1: fourteen penalties for one hundred and fifty yards and they

682
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:25,000
Speaker 1: still lost. How do you like that? What about Jacoby

683
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:28,080
Speaker 1: Brissett starting there for the Commanders?

684
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:31,920
Speaker 3: Sam Howell was playing well early in the year, lost

685
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:34,120
Speaker 3: his confidence, turned the ball over a ton, got hit

686
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:36,840
Speaker 3: a lot. Anytime your quarterback gets hit that much like

687
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:39,080
Speaker 3: bad things are going to happen. And we saw his

688
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:43,480
Speaker 3: play decline steadily over the course of the season. And

689
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:46,240
Speaker 3: Jacoby Brissett, I mean, the Commanders are trotting out a

690
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:48,120
Speaker 3: guy who is a proven leader. He's been the league

691
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:49,880
Speaker 3: for a long time. He's played on a bunch of

692
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:52,040
Speaker 3: different coaches. He knows how to play the right way.

693
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:56,920
Speaker 3: He's an upgrade just in terms of his steadiness, his calm,

694
00:31:56,960 --> 00:32:00,440
Speaker 3: his poise, his demeter. But this Commander's team isn't going anywhere.

695
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:02,480
Speaker 3: I mean, they may play better, but they don't have

696
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:06,520
Speaker 3: enough to go toe or toe with the Niners. Maybe

697
00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 3: he'll spark him whatever, but then I see where he's

698
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:11,160
Speaker 3: dealing with maybe a hamstring injury and those things, and

699
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:15,200
Speaker 3: so his start might not be for long anyway based

700
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 3: on that. But he gives them just kind of like

701
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:18,400
Speaker 3: a steady hand at the position.

702
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 1: All right, now, I mentioned coming into the segment here,

703
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:23,600
Speaker 1: Wait a minute, not so fast, I say, not so

704
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:26,600
Speaker 1: fast for the Brock Party MVP people. I say the

705
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:29,640
Speaker 1: MVP right now, if they would name it today, Lamar

706
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:31,800
Speaker 1: Jackson with the Ravens. After the Ravens top the forty

707
00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:34,160
Speaker 1: nine his last week and they beat him badly, I

708
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:36,560
Speaker 1: think it's Lamar Jackson who gets to nod for the MVP,

709
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:37,520
Speaker 1: not brock Party.

710
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:41,200
Speaker 2: Maybe, so I would give.

711
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:46,920
Speaker 3: Tyreek killing outside opportunity to swipe it, okay, because there's

712
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:48,520
Speaker 3: not really a lot of enthusiasm. When you look at

713
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:52,400
Speaker 3: Lamar Jackson's numbers, you're not like over the top with

714
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:54,840
Speaker 3: in terms of flight because it's been an individual war

715
00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:57,160
Speaker 3: going to the top quarterback, the most prolific quarterback of

716
00:32:57,200 --> 00:33:01,160
Speaker 3: the best team. His numbers aren't what you would say

717
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:04,760
Speaker 3: MVP caliber, but the team is one at a level

718
00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:07,840
Speaker 3: and everyone knows they win because of him. If Tyreek Hill,

719
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:09,880
Speaker 3: though I think he needs three hundred and forty two

720
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:14,440
Speaker 3: yards to surpass two thousand yards, If he breaks the

721
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:17,120
Speaker 3: two thousand yard mark and they beat the Baltimore Ravens

722
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:21,320
Speaker 3: this week, I think you'll see more conversation about Tyreek

723
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:24,200
Speaker 3: Hill kind of swiping the award at the end because

724
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:28,120
Speaker 3: there's not a clear cut front runner. That's why I

725
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:29,520
Speaker 3: think Tyreek Hill can be in played.

726
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:31,840
Speaker 1: All right, I'm with you on writing that down. You

727
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:34,320
Speaker 1: will ride on with the Cleveland Browns back in the summertime,

728
00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:35,280
Speaker 1: so we'll see what happens.

729
00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:35,520
Speaker 4: Now.

730
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 1: Now, now you've got the Titans Tennessee Titans five and

731
00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:42,200
Speaker 1: ten at the Houston Texans eight and seven. Believe it

732
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:46,240
Speaker 1: or not, the Texans have lost three of the last five. However,

733
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:49,640
Speaker 1: they're still alive for a playoff spot and also the

734
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:52,840
Speaker 1: AFC South title. Pretty interesting right there with the Texas.

735
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:54,400
Speaker 1: But they got to get that quarterback strong.

736
00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:54,800
Speaker 8: C J.

737
00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:57,440
Speaker 1: Strud's got to be playing and playing a good level football.

738
00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 3: Oh he does, and he has an option to come back,

739
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:03,160
Speaker 3: and that's huge. You have a three rate tied to the

740
00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:06,440
Speaker 3: top of the AFC South, the Houston Texans to Indianapolis

741
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:09,360
Speaker 3: Coast and Jacksonville Jaguars are fighting it out. The Jaguars

742
00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:13,360
Speaker 3: hold all the tiebreakers as it stands now, and the

743
00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:17,960
Speaker 3: Jaguars can clinch if they win in both the Texans

744
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:21,520
Speaker 3: and coach loose. So it's look must win games for everybody.

745
00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:23,960
Speaker 3: In a must win game for the Texans. You don't

746
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:26,759
Speaker 3: know how the concussion is going to impact c. J.

747
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:27,240
Speaker 2: Stroud.

748
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:29,680
Speaker 3: He missed two games, so he might be a little rusty,

749
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:31,359
Speaker 3: he might be a little off, but they need him

750
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:32,960
Speaker 3: to play well to have any chance of winning.

751
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:36,240
Speaker 1: And more than that, what about the quarterback for the Titans.

752
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:38,160
Speaker 1: Will Levis is you gonna play or not. I don't know.

753
00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:40,080
Speaker 1: I haven't heard because he was hurt too.

754
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:41,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was hurt.

755
00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:44,320
Speaker 3: And last week they were able to play with Ryan Tannehill,

756
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:46,799
Speaker 3: and so Tannehill is always there available for them.

757
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:50,239
Speaker 2: They look, they've been doing a really good.

758
00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:53,719
Speaker 3: Job of getting Will Levis some work being able to

759
00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:56,200
Speaker 3: evaluate the young quarterback. The young quarterback has showing a

760
00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:59,319
Speaker 3: feisty side of very competitive side that should serve him.

761
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:02,080
Speaker 2: Well yeah, but now look he could me to battle

762
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:02,520
Speaker 2: the young.

763
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:05,239
Speaker 3: Quarterbacks or it could be new school versus old school

764
00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:06,719
Speaker 3: that Frion Tannehill has to take the ball.

765
00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:09,239
Speaker 1: There you go, all right. He is Bucky Brooks, I'm

780
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:58,440
Speaker 1: Buck e books. All right, Buck, here we go. I'm

781
00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:01,320
Speaker 1: gonna give you some of the biggest surprise in football

782
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:03,680
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty three this season, and you're gonna tell

783
00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:08,280
Speaker 1: us how and why they happen. Now. Baker Mayfield unreal,

784
00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:12,239
Speaker 1: but he represents, believe it or not, a stat upgrade

785
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:15,200
Speaker 1: from Tom Brady from last year as a Tampa Bay

786
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:16,320
Speaker 1: quarterback this year.

787
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:20,560
Speaker 2: Why man, that's all fit in scheme.

788
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:23,920
Speaker 3: Du Canalys came over from the Seattle Seahawks, installed a

789
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:27,120
Speaker 3: scheme that's the perfect fit for Baker Mayfield. Baker Mayfield

790
00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:29,600
Speaker 3: played in that scheme during his time with the La Rams.

791
00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:31,680
Speaker 3: We saw him have a level of success on the

792
00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:34,520
Speaker 3: Sean McVay Drew Cannawis was just able to kind of

793
00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:38,440
Speaker 3: take Baker Mayfield where he was put that scheme in place,

794
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:40,800
Speaker 3: and it's really allowed Baker Mayfield to play at his best.

795
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:45,360
Speaker 1: Very good. Now that Cleveland Browns are surged. They've surged

796
00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:49,480
Speaker 1: to a ten and five record while starting four quarterbacks

797
00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:53,279
Speaker 1: and losing Nick Chubb and both starting tackles. How does

798
00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:53,920
Speaker 1: that happen?

799
00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:56,279
Speaker 2: One day? Believe that it could happen.

800
00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:59,560
Speaker 3: Kem Stefanski never blinked in the face of adversity despite

801
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:03,240
Speaker 3: the injuries that were mounting running back with Nick Chubb,

802
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:07,520
Speaker 3: losing quarterbacks in and out with Deshaun Watson, PJ Walking

803
00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:11,600
Speaker 3: during Thompson Robinson, Joe Flacco's ben A gottsen for them.

804
00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:14,399
Speaker 3: Joe Flacco played in the system under Garry Kubiak, had

805
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:19,160
Speaker 3: his best NFL seasons in Baltimore under Kubiak. Kevin Stefanski

806
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:21,640
Speaker 3: is a Kubiak disciple, and so he was able to

807
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:25,000
Speaker 3: basically take what Joe Flacco did years ago, put it

808
00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:27,040
Speaker 3: back in place, remix it, and it's worked out for

809
00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:27,640
Speaker 3: the Browns.

810
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:30,560
Speaker 1: All right, here we go. Let's talk about Nny Pickett

811
00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:32,480
Speaker 1: right now, the quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers. He had

812
00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:35,120
Speaker 1: a big hand in the Pittsburgh Steelers record seven and

813
00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:38,440
Speaker 1: four through the month of November. Why because he protected

814
00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:41,160
Speaker 1: the football so well. He's a second year pros you know,

815
00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:44,680
Speaker 1: out of pit he has the NFL's lowest interception rate

816
00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:48,480
Speaker 1: one point two percent, and committed just four turnovers and

817
00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:52,839
Speaker 1: no laws flumbles in his twelve games. Denny had the

818
00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:56,200
Speaker 1: ankle injury that sidelined him for the last three games,

819
00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:59,720
Speaker 1: which brings me to this question. The worst backup quarterback

820
00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:05,799
Speaker 1: of the NFL today has to be Mitch Trubisky.

821
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:09,280
Speaker 3: He's not playing well. You know, he's certainly not playing well.

822
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:12,640
Speaker 3: Mason Rudolph has certainly shown that you can take that offense.

823
00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:13,920
Speaker 3: If you take care of it, get the ball to

824
00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:16,920
Speaker 3: the playmakers, you can win. Yeah, it's a damning indictment

825
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:20,720
Speaker 3: for Mitchell Trubisky and his talent and his future because

826
00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:23,680
Speaker 3: they look they fell apart when he was a backup quarterback,

827
00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:26,880
Speaker 3: but they're playing differently with Mason Rudolph in charge.

828
00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:29,080
Speaker 1: All Right, here's a goodie, And I don't know why

829
00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:31,200
Speaker 1: your name is not on this list, but maybe one

830
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:34,600
Speaker 1: day it will be. Fifteen My narrow finalist for the

831
00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:37,560
Speaker 1: Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of twenty twenty four.

832
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:40,279
Speaker 1: These names were announced just the other day. I'm going

833
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:42,279
Speaker 1: to give you some of the names, and you tell

834
00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:44,320
Speaker 1: me if the guy is a Sugar Hall of Famer

835
00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:46,399
Speaker 1: or not. I'm want to start off with Eric Allen,

836
00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:50,000
Speaker 1: who finished his career with fifty four interceptions for them

837
00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:53,880
Speaker 1: return for touchdowns back in nineteen ninety three with the

838
00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:55,759
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles.

839
00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:59,439
Speaker 3: Who this is a tough one. Yeah, I would say,

840
00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:03,319
Speaker 3: Saea Allen. Eric Allen eventually goes. He should go. Man,

841
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:04,880
Speaker 3: he's a great player. It was a great player on

842
00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:06,520
Speaker 3: the perimeter. I'm biased, though.

843
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:08,719
Speaker 1: All Right, Okay, that's good. I'm gonna put a check

844
00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:12,400
Speaker 1: next to him. I'll keep this in my folder. Jared

845
00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:15,160
Speaker 1: Allen twice led the league in sacks in two thousand

846
00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:18,680
Speaker 1: and seven and twenty eleven, and came one half sack

847
00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:22,200
Speaker 1: away from tying the single season record of twenty two

848
00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:24,960
Speaker 1: and a half in twenty eleven with the Vikings.

849
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:28,600
Speaker 2: Jared Allen, Yeah, he eventually goes.

850
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:30,080
Speaker 3: I don't know if he goes as a first ballot,

851
00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:32,080
Speaker 3: but I think he like this time, but I think

852
00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:32,479
Speaker 3: he goes.

853
00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:34,960
Speaker 2: He's look, he's worthy of being that kind of dominant player.

854
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:37,520
Speaker 2: When you talking about leading the league in sacks multiple.

855
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:40,040
Speaker 1: Times, all right, this guy. I'm praying for him. He's

856
00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:43,280
Speaker 1: my guy. I love him to death. Willie Anderson played

857
00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:46,040
Speaker 1: all but one of his thirteen seasons with the Cincinnati

858
00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:51,439
Speaker 1: Bengals offensive tackle, earning three consecutive All Pro bids two

859
00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:54,040
Speaker 1: thousand and four, two thousand and five, two thousand and

860
00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:56,360
Speaker 1: six on a team that really and truly was not

861
00:39:56,480 --> 00:39:57,000
Speaker 1: that good.

862
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:02,760
Speaker 3: Good player, really good player. Time will play on his side.

863
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:05,200
Speaker 3: I can't say he's a lock though, And I like

864
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:07,120
Speaker 3: big Willie. I can't say he's a lock though.

865
00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:08,520
Speaker 2: All right.

866
00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:10,440
Speaker 1: I mean I think he'll eventually get in. That's a

867
00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:13,120
Speaker 1: tough position to get him because there's not many stats.

868
00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:15,520
Speaker 1: You know, when what do you judge pancakes? I just

869
00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:18,040
Speaker 1: don't know what you judge in a position like that.

870
00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:21,480
Speaker 1: But we move on to Rodney Harrison, two time Super

871
00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:25,560
Speaker 1: Bowl champ during his first stint with the New England Patriots,

872
00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:30,800
Speaker 1: starting his career with the Charges safety Rodney Harrison really good.

873
00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:32,680
Speaker 3: Player on a really good franchise because it might have

874
00:40:32,719 --> 00:40:35,279
Speaker 3: been a heart and soul for them. But I can't say,

875
00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:37,759
Speaker 3: just on his own individual merits that I saw him

876
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:40,720
Speaker 3: as a Hall of Fame player, really really good, maybe

877
00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:43,160
Speaker 3: against in, but I didn't see him as like a

878
00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:44,840
Speaker 3: transcendent player at the position.

879
00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:47,879
Speaker 1: All right, we'll keep it there, And that's my list

880
00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:51,480
Speaker 1: for Bucky Brooks. But there's no sophomore slump here and

881
00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:56,239

00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:39,800
Speaker 1: your mind? What's more amazing that this is week number

896
00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:43,160
Speaker 1: seventeen in the NFL already or it's new Year's Eve.

897
00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:45,560
Speaker 1: I'm scratching my head. I can't believe it.

898
00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:47,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, it's kind of crazy.

899
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:49,480
Speaker 3: It's kind of hard to believe that it's New Year's

900
00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:53,440
Speaker 3: Eve for a slate of NFL games. Trying to navigate

901
00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:59,920
Speaker 3: all of that, plus watched the bill Ball, Apple Acorn

902
00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:02,080
Speaker 3: wherever it is in your favorite city, Trying to watch

903
00:42:02,120 --> 00:42:04,920
Speaker 3: that drop is going to be something that is definitely

904
00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:05,880
Speaker 3: a different experience.

905
00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:09,840
Speaker 1: Unbelievable, it really is. Now here's the deal. Bucky Brooks,

906
00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:13,919
Speaker 1: NFL player, NFL scout coach, he rights for NFL dot Com,

907
00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:17,399
Speaker 1: and this week he lists the year number two breakouts,

908
00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:20,080
Speaker 1: or you could translate that by saying the end of

909
00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:23,520
Speaker 1: the sophomore slump. And do players Bucky Brooks, do they

910
00:42:23,560 --> 00:42:26,439
Speaker 1: believe in the so called sophomore slump? I remember years

911
00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:28,520
Speaker 1: ago and they say, if your photo was on the

912
00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:32,360
Speaker 1: cover of Sports Illustrated, you've jinxed. That's a jinx. Is

913
00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:35,560
Speaker 1: there superstitions like that still going around in the National

914
00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:36,360
Speaker 1: Football League?

915
00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:39,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think that was ever a player's thing.

916
00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:42,720
Speaker 3: I always felt like that was something that we created

917
00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:46,440
Speaker 3: on the outside for players. Year two is significant because

918
00:42:46,440 --> 00:42:48,799
Speaker 3: it's the first time that you really get comfortable. You

919
00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:50,640
Speaker 3: have to remember, for most of these guys, they go

920
00:42:50,760 --> 00:42:54,160
Speaker 3: from playing for their colleges to training for the Combine,

921
00:42:54,200 --> 00:42:56,520
Speaker 3: to then joining a new team and going through so

922
00:42:56,560 --> 00:42:58,480
Speaker 3: it ends up being a long year where after that

923
00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:00,000
Speaker 3: first year is the first time you get a time

924
00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:03,399
Speaker 3: to kind of reset, recalibrate. You know what the league

925
00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:05,200
Speaker 3: is like, you know what to work on, and that's

926
00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:07,200
Speaker 3: why you see some of these major jumps in year two.

927
00:43:07,800 --> 00:43:10,080
Speaker 1: Right, And you listed some of the players that really

928
00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:12,000
Speaker 1: turned that around in the year two. You said one

929
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:14,240
Speaker 1: of the factors he wrote this at NFL dot Com.

930
00:43:14,280 --> 00:43:17,560
Speaker 1: A player heading into a second professional campaign, Mike focus

931
00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:21,160
Speaker 1: rigorously or skilled development in the off season after spending

932
00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:24,680
Speaker 1: a large chunk of the previous offseason getting ready just

933
00:43:24,719 --> 00:43:27,120
Speaker 1: for the NFL Draft. I understand that now you're more

934
00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:29,239
Speaker 1: in tune to the position you're going to play and

935
00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:31,080
Speaker 1: how you're going to play it in the system that

936
00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:33,319
Speaker 1: you're in. And give us some of the guys that

937
00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:36,280
Speaker 1: you have written about that have really made the jump

938
00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:37,120
Speaker 1: in year number two.

939
00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:37,960
Speaker 2: I think one of.

940
00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:42,439
Speaker 3: Them was blowing yeah, yeah, So Deron Bland may earn

941
00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:44,800
Speaker 3: Pro Bowl honors. Guy has look, he was leading the

942
00:43:44,840 --> 00:43:47,879
Speaker 3: league in interception at eight interceptions as five pick six

943
00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:51,440
Speaker 3: is the NFL record for most pick sixes by player,

944
00:43:51,719 --> 00:43:53,560
Speaker 3: coming off of rookie season where he had five, so

945
00:43:53,600 --> 00:43:55,400
Speaker 3: in two years talking about thirteen picks.

946
00:43:55,760 --> 00:43:56,759
Speaker 2: This year was different though.

947
00:43:56,800 --> 00:43:59,160
Speaker 3: He went from playing in the slot as a nickel

948
00:43:59,239 --> 00:44:03,320
Speaker 3: dime defenders now playing on the outside replacing Trayvon Diggs,

949
00:44:03,360 --> 00:44:06,360
Speaker 3: and he's held up really, really well, and so because

950
00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:08,279
Speaker 3: of that, the Cowboys have been able to navigate the

951
00:44:08,280 --> 00:44:10,680
Speaker 3: loss of look a Pro Bowl player on the perimeter

952
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:11,839
Speaker 3: still playing well.

953
00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:13,840
Speaker 2: Defense is taking the ball away and a lot of

954
00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:15,840
Speaker 2: that is due to Deryn Blance play on the perimeter.

955
00:44:16,239 --> 00:44:18,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I want to mention also, we know everybody has

956
00:44:18,200 --> 00:44:20,680
Speaker 1: talk prior to the season that the Buffalo Bills need

957
00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:22,759
Speaker 1: a running attack. Uncertainly, it looks like they found their

958
00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:24,080
Speaker 1: runner right now in James Cook.

959
00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:30,560
Speaker 3: Without a doubt, they found their runner in James Cook

960
00:44:30,640 --> 00:44:33,839
Speaker 3: has been terrific for them and since they've upgraded and

961
00:44:33,880 --> 00:44:37,279
Speaker 3: elevated him the thousand yard season, he's alleviated some of

962
00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:40,880
Speaker 3: the pressure on Josh Allen playing really well in terms

963
00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:45,560
Speaker 3: of just being able to make plays, being able to

964
00:44:45,600 --> 00:44:47,719
Speaker 3: catch the football out the backfield to go with like

965
00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:50,520
Speaker 3: being a downhill runner, one of the best young running

966
00:44:50,520 --> 00:44:54,600
Speaker 3: backs in football, top five rusher, and I believe it.

967
00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:56,560
Speaker 1: One more I think one more sophomore I think you

968
00:44:56,640 --> 00:45:00,839
Speaker 1: mentioned was Kyle Hamilton from the Ravens safety.

969
00:45:00,560 --> 00:45:02,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Cal Hamilton. Man.

970
00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:05,680
Speaker 3: People would look back and wonder why this dude slid

971
00:45:05,719 --> 00:45:08,799
Speaker 3: down the charts on draft Day because he was one

972
00:45:08,800 --> 00:45:11,040
Speaker 3: of the best players in all of college football when

973
00:45:11,080 --> 00:45:13,399
Speaker 3: he was at Notre Dame. You continue to see that

974
00:45:14,160 --> 00:45:17,720
Speaker 3: stepping into the Baltimore Ravens defense. Not a traditional safety

975
00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:20,720
Speaker 3: because he's not necessarily a great player in the middle

976
00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:22,719
Speaker 3: deep middle, but when you drop him down in the

977
00:45:22,719 --> 00:45:24,600
Speaker 3: box and play him as a nickel defender, he can

978
00:45:24,600 --> 00:45:27,600
Speaker 3: stop to run. He's active as a blitzer, does a

979
00:45:27,640 --> 00:45:30,720
Speaker 3: really good job of making plays on underneath things and coverage,

980
00:45:30,920 --> 00:45:33,920
Speaker 3: and he's a high IQ player who's only enhanced what

981
00:45:34,040 --> 00:45:37,320
Speaker 3: they do. Good player, great fit. It has really worked

982
00:45:37,360 --> 00:45:39,200
Speaker 3: well for the Baltimore Ravens and Cal Hamilton.

983
00:45:39,680 --> 00:45:42,160
Speaker 1: And look, I'd be foolish to admit this guy because

984
00:45:42,160 --> 00:45:45,240
Speaker 1: you mentioned him earlier on today. Corin Williams Sean mcvayh

985
00:45:45,560 --> 00:45:48,040
Speaker 1: rebuilt that whole ground game and the Rams right now

986
00:45:48,040 --> 00:45:50,719
Speaker 1: around his running skill. So he's really turned it around.

987
00:45:50,760 --> 00:45:53,719
Speaker 1: And we mentioned the last five games they're averaging over

988
00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:56,480
Speaker 1: thirty two points a game. Their offense is really blossom

989
00:45:56,480 --> 00:45:59,080
Speaker 1: and the Rams right now can be wrecking going maybe

990
00:45:59,120 --> 00:46:00,000
Speaker 1: deep into the playoff.

991
00:46:01,719 --> 00:46:04,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Rams have a chance. I mean they really

992
00:46:04,200 --> 00:46:06,400
Speaker 3: really have a chance to go deep in the playoffs

993
00:46:06,440 --> 00:46:12,319
Speaker 3: because this team is one they play Baltimore really really competitively,

994
00:46:12,440 --> 00:46:15,560
Speaker 3: because they can run the football, because they're balanced, and

995
00:46:15,880 --> 00:46:17,439
Speaker 3: because of their style of play, they.

996
00:46:17,320 --> 00:46:18,399
Speaker 2: Can stay in any game.

997
00:46:18,440 --> 00:46:21,440
Speaker 3: And then Raheem Morris has this defense playing well where

998
00:46:21,440 --> 00:46:23,759
Speaker 3: they're not giving up big plays. But Karen Williams is

999
00:46:23,760 --> 00:46:25,960
Speaker 3: the one that is the key, his ability to run

1000
00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:27,799
Speaker 3: the football. I want to say in his last six

1001
00:46:27,840 --> 00:46:32,520
Speaker 3: stars hes five one hundred yard games, he's played well man,

1002
00:46:33,080 --> 00:46:35,839
Speaker 3: He's look, I love cam Akers. When cam Akers there,

1003
00:46:36,480 --> 00:46:40,279
Speaker 3: this guy's been probably close to what they had in

1004
00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:42,960
Speaker 3: Tyd Gurley in terms of like impact from that running

1005
00:46:42,960 --> 00:46:43,520
Speaker 3: back position.

1006
00:46:44,239 --> 00:46:46,680
Speaker 1: All right, Now, I mentioned coming into the segment, there's

1007
00:46:46,719 --> 00:46:49,760
Speaker 1: a sneak peak today and that game is the Dolphins

1008
00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:52,160
Speaker 1: at the Ravens. That could be a sneak peek of

1009
00:46:52,200 --> 00:46:55,439
Speaker 1: the AFC Championship game. This basically could be the game

1010
00:46:55,480 --> 00:46:58,760
Speaker 1: of the day. Dolphins eleven and four Baltimore twelve and three.

1011
00:46:58,960 --> 00:47:00,920
Speaker 1: I have no idea why this game is played at

1012
00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:03,560
Speaker 1: one o'clock Eastern on TV. It should have been a

1013
00:47:03,640 --> 00:47:05,879
Speaker 1: night game to they shoot stand alone. That's how big

1014
00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:08,200
Speaker 1: this game is. I don't know who makes these decisions,

1015
00:47:08,200 --> 00:47:10,000
Speaker 1: but I know I'll be watching this game.

1016
00:47:11,120 --> 00:47:15,640
Speaker 2: You tell about Baltimore Miami, Yeah, yeah, it's a major game.

1017
00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:18,600
Speaker 3: It's a major game just because of the contract in styles,

1018
00:47:19,920 --> 00:47:25,560
Speaker 3: a few different carryovers. One Mike McDaniels, former Niners run

1019
00:47:25,600 --> 00:47:28,759
Speaker 3: game coordinator, certainly is pick Cayle Shanahan's bring on how

1020
00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:30,280
Speaker 3: to attack the Baltimore Ravens.

1021
00:47:30,680 --> 00:47:32,359
Speaker 2: I'm sure you made the phone call and say, hey,

1022
00:47:32,400 --> 00:47:34,000
Speaker 2: what you like, what didn't you like? How would you

1023
00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:35,000
Speaker 2: attack them if you were me?

1024
00:47:35,440 --> 00:47:37,360
Speaker 3: Knowing our personnel in those things, So I'm sure they

1025
00:47:37,480 --> 00:47:40,840
Speaker 3: shared those insights. Being able to watch the tape and

1026
00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:43,879
Speaker 3: watch how Baltimore does against some of the things that

1027
00:47:43,960 --> 00:47:48,479
Speaker 3: the Dolphins do will allow him to have a game

1028
00:47:48,520 --> 00:47:52,040
Speaker 3: plan that is maybe better equipped to attack some of

1029
00:47:52,040 --> 00:47:56,400
Speaker 3: their weaknesses more so than Shanahan. The speed fact of

1030
00:47:56,440 --> 00:48:00,080
Speaker 3: the Miami Dolphins will be a factor last year. I

1031
00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:02,120
Speaker 3: think these teams squared up and in the fourth quarter

1032
00:48:02,239 --> 00:48:05,560
Speaker 3: Baltimore went I mean, Miami went bananas.

1033
00:48:04,800 --> 00:48:05,800
Speaker 2: In terms of scoring.

1034
00:48:06,160 --> 00:48:10,120
Speaker 3: How does Baltimore kind of remedy those issues that showed

1035
00:48:10,200 --> 00:48:15,880
Speaker 3: up a season ago and ken Baltimore's offense kind of

1036
00:48:15,920 --> 00:48:19,680
Speaker 3: make hay against Vic Fangio's defense in Miami, which is

1037
00:48:19,680 --> 00:48:23,480
Speaker 3: coming on with Bradlee Chubb and Jalen Ramsey beginning to

1038
00:48:23,560 --> 00:48:26,640
Speaker 3: kind of play like stars in that scheme. Yeah, this

1039
00:48:26,680 --> 00:48:29,000
Speaker 3: is a tough, tough challenge for Baltimore and coming off

1040
00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:32,080
Speaker 3: of the emotional high of knocking off the forty nine

1041
00:48:32,080 --> 00:48:34,640
Speaker 3: as you now got to reset, recalibrate, and get ready

1042
00:48:34,640 --> 00:48:35,480
Speaker 3: to play the Dolphins.

1043
00:48:35,640 --> 00:48:37,440
Speaker 2: A lot of things that play in this one. Yeah.

1044
00:48:37,480 --> 00:48:39,480
Speaker 1: If Baltimore Ravens took care of the forty nine ers

1045
00:48:39,520 --> 00:48:42,200
Speaker 1: last week thirty three to nineteen, and you know, you say,

1046
00:48:42,200 --> 00:48:44,279
Speaker 1: it could be an emotional letdown, but look, they got

1047
00:48:44,280 --> 00:48:46,000
Speaker 1: a lot to play for it because a when today

1048
00:48:46,960 --> 00:48:49,520
Speaker 1: they could wrap up the number one overall AFC seed,

1049
00:48:49,560 --> 00:48:51,680
Speaker 1: I think that's a big deal for them today. And

1050
00:48:51,800 --> 00:48:54,160
Speaker 1: remember last week we're talking about defensively, how you're going

1051
00:48:54,239 --> 00:48:58,480
Speaker 1: to stop the Dolphins Ravens defense had five interceptions against

1052
00:48:58,480 --> 00:49:00,880
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers last week. I'm not so certain

1053
00:49:01,040 --> 00:49:03,560
Speaker 1: it was the defense that was that good, or maybe

1054
00:49:03,640 --> 00:49:06,919
Speaker 1: the quarterbacking in San Francisco was that week last week.

1055
00:49:06,920 --> 00:49:09,840
Speaker 1: But still five i nts in one game against the

1056
00:49:09,880 --> 00:49:11,080
Speaker 1: forty nine ers, that's pretty big.

1057
00:49:12,080 --> 00:49:12,279
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1058
00:49:12,719 --> 00:49:18,120
Speaker 3: Look, the turnovers are huge turnovers, biggest sociding factor in football.

1059
00:49:18,440 --> 00:49:21,440
Speaker 3: The thing that you have to remember, remember it's a

1060
00:49:21,440 --> 00:49:24,120
Speaker 3: short week for Baltimore. They had to go from west

1061
00:49:24,400 --> 00:49:26,400
Speaker 3: to east, had to go from San Francisco on a

1062
00:49:26,440 --> 00:49:29,800
Speaker 3: Monday night, Christmas night, come all the way back. Short

1063
00:49:29,840 --> 00:49:33,400
Speaker 3: we get ready playing get home. So that's advantageous. But man,

1064
00:49:33,400 --> 00:49:36,480
Speaker 3: you talked about an early game, one o'clock kickoff, trying

1065
00:49:36,520 --> 00:49:41,920
Speaker 3: to get right and do that emotionally and physically. Talk

1066
00:49:41,960 --> 00:49:44,239
Speaker 3: about a team that can be exhausted. I'm curious to

1067
00:49:44,239 --> 00:49:47,400
Speaker 3: see how John Harbaugh handled the practice week to ensure

1068
00:49:47,440 --> 00:49:50,359
Speaker 3: that his guys are ready to play today because that's

1069
00:49:50,400 --> 00:49:51,360
Speaker 3: a tough challenge.

1070
00:49:51,719 --> 00:49:55,640
Speaker 1: Right. So, Jalen Waddle and Tyreek Hill are battling injuries.

1071
00:49:55,960 --> 00:49:58,400
Speaker 1: What kind of a factor does that play with the

1072
00:49:58,440 --> 00:50:01,000
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins in that game today? Because they're running back

1073
00:50:01,200 --> 00:50:03,920
Speaker 1: a monster the least the NFL with twenty one touchdowns.

1074
00:50:04,200 --> 00:50:06,200
Speaker 1: So I think he's going to be the work course today,

1075
00:50:06,200 --> 00:50:08,880
Speaker 1: There's no doubt about that. But without Wattling Hill at

1076
00:50:08,920 --> 00:50:10,759
Speaker 1: full strength, maybe one of them is not even going

1077
00:50:10,840 --> 00:50:13,200
Speaker 1: to play. What does that do to the Dolphins?

1078
00:50:13,840 --> 00:50:17,200
Speaker 3: I mean it changes everything because if those guys don't play,

1079
00:50:17,080 --> 00:50:20,680
Speaker 3: they're the speed factors, the speed demons, and what makes

1080
00:50:20,719 --> 00:50:23,279
Speaker 3: the Dolphins offense so difficult to defend is not the

1081
00:50:23,360 --> 00:50:26,600
Speaker 3: creativity for Miminias, all this stuff is great.

1082
00:50:27,040 --> 00:50:29,479
Speaker 2: It is the speed from that team.

1083
00:50:29,560 --> 00:50:32,440
Speaker 3: Man, this team is fast, and he uses that speed

1084
00:50:32,560 --> 00:50:35,600
Speaker 3: vertically and horizontally. He'll run those guys on straight go

1085
00:50:35,760 --> 00:50:38,319
Speaker 3: routs and deep balls and deep overs, but he also

1086
00:50:38,360 --> 00:50:41,279
Speaker 3: will send them across the field on drags and those

1087
00:50:41,320 --> 00:50:43,600
Speaker 3: things so they can outrun the defense in a variety

1088
00:50:43,600 --> 00:50:47,160
Speaker 3: of ways. If you don't have either one of those players,

1089
00:50:47,200 --> 00:50:49,359
Speaker 3: it changes how you defend them.

1090
00:50:49,440 --> 00:50:50,360
Speaker 2: You now can.

1091
00:50:50,320 --> 00:50:52,600
Speaker 3: Clamp and tighten up and condence to field and make

1092
00:50:52,640 --> 00:50:55,919
Speaker 3: life a little more challenging for two or tongue about

1093
00:50:55,920 --> 00:50:58,799
Speaker 3: lower in the passing game. But if those guys are available,

1094
00:50:58,920 --> 00:51:00,840
Speaker 3: I mean you got to back up because that speed

1095
00:51:00,920 --> 00:51:02,480
Speaker 3: is real and they don't mind throwing it over the

1096
00:51:02,520 --> 00:51:03,360
Speaker 3: top of the defense.

1097
00:51:04,080 --> 00:51:07,160
Speaker 2: Who lines up, who plays for them is everything.

1098
00:51:07,760 --> 00:51:09,839
Speaker 3: If they don't, they lose a couple of guys to

1099
00:51:09,880 --> 00:51:12,759
Speaker 3: the injury list, then it becomes problematic.

1100
00:51:12,560 --> 00:51:15,720
Speaker 1: Right And you talk about speed to talk about receivings, yeah, receivers.

1101
00:51:15,760 --> 00:51:17,719
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm looking at the Baltimore Ravens and I

1102
00:51:17,719 --> 00:51:20,319
Speaker 1: got to believe that he's coming alive. I'm talking about

1103
00:51:20,360 --> 00:51:24,480
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham Junior. I think he's back to health, he's

1104
00:51:24,520 --> 00:51:26,680
Speaker 1: back to form the way he was. I think that's

1105
00:51:26,719 --> 00:51:30,880
Speaker 1: a huge plus for the Baltimore Ravens. Right now, Beckham

1106
00:51:31,080 --> 00:51:34,120
Speaker 1: with something like thirty two receptions on this ball club

1107
00:51:34,200 --> 00:51:36,760
Speaker 1: right now, but over the last several weeks he's come alive.

1108
00:51:36,760 --> 00:51:41,080
Speaker 1: He's got three touchdowns and five hundred plus yards receiving.

1109
00:51:41,280 --> 00:51:43,400
Speaker 1: But with Beckham getting strong a week by week and

1110
00:51:43,480 --> 00:51:46,359
Speaker 1: learning the system along with Jay Flowers, that makes them

1111
00:51:46,360 --> 00:51:47,399
Speaker 1: real tough. It really does.

1112
00:51:48,680 --> 00:51:50,799
Speaker 3: It does make them tough. And this is what they

1113
00:51:50,840 --> 00:51:52,360
Speaker 3: brought him in for. They didn't bring him in to

1114
00:51:52,400 --> 00:51:55,360
Speaker 3: be the leading receiver throughout the course of the regular

1115
00:51:55,400 --> 00:51:57,680
Speaker 3: season and all this stuff. They want him to be

1116
00:51:57,719 --> 00:52:01,239
Speaker 3: the guy that can make plays and season. This is

1117
00:52:01,280 --> 00:52:03,400
Speaker 3: where he should begin to shine. We saw him shine

1118
00:52:03,400 --> 00:52:07,000
Speaker 3: for the Rams in this situation. This is when I

1119
00:52:07,040 --> 00:52:09,719
Speaker 3: expect him to kind of make some plays to kind

1120
00:52:09,719 --> 00:52:12,840
Speaker 3: of remind everybody how good he really really is on

1121
00:52:12,880 --> 00:52:13,360
Speaker 3: the perimeter.

1122
00:52:14,239 --> 00:52:16,480
Speaker 1: You know, you talk about and you mentioned the MVP

1123
00:52:16,719 --> 00:52:20,479
Speaker 1: to Tyreek Hill. Look he's pushing to get a two

1124
00:52:20,520 --> 00:52:24,640
Speaker 1: thousand yards receiving which is an unbelievable statistic. And look,

1125
00:52:24,800 --> 00:52:28,240
Speaker 1: a lot of people and myself included, saying that basically

1126
00:52:28,360 --> 00:52:30,839
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson is the MVP and his stats really are

1127
00:52:30,880 --> 00:52:34,480
Speaker 1: not MVP worthy stats. But again, you said it early

1128
00:52:34,520 --> 00:52:37,319
Speaker 1: on and I wrote it down because it's true. You know,

1129
00:52:37,440 --> 00:52:40,600
Speaker 1: they win because of Lamar Jackson, not because of his stats,

1130
00:52:40,680 --> 00:52:43,600
Speaker 1: but they went because of him. So when you weigh

1131
00:52:43,840 --> 00:52:47,080
Speaker 1: the voting process of the MVP, is it because he's

1132
00:52:47,120 --> 00:52:49,560
Speaker 1: so valuable for that team to win or you look

1133
00:52:49,600 --> 00:52:53,239
Speaker 1: at the stats. I don't know which which weighs more.

1134
00:52:53,480 --> 00:52:55,720
Speaker 1: As far as the MVP trophy.

1135
00:52:56,640 --> 00:52:57,600
Speaker 2: I think it's a combination.

1136
00:52:58,920 --> 00:53:02,520
Speaker 3: It's a combination of how impactful is he to the game,

1137
00:53:02,920 --> 00:53:05,000
Speaker 3: and then do his stats match up with the stats

1138
00:53:05,000 --> 00:53:07,440
Speaker 3: of some of the top guys at at at.

1139
00:53:07,280 --> 00:53:09,480
Speaker 2: The position, like Is he prolific? Is he one of

1140
00:53:09,480 --> 00:53:10,280
Speaker 2: those the best?

1141
00:53:10,560 --> 00:53:12,120
Speaker 3: He doesn't do it, but I think when you watch

1142
00:53:12,200 --> 00:53:15,440
Speaker 3: the game, you see how impactful he.

1143
00:53:15,520 --> 00:53:16,520
Speaker 2: Is to that.

1144
00:53:16,640 --> 00:53:19,520
Speaker 3: I mean, basically, they just kind of scramble, scramble around,

1145
00:53:19,600 --> 00:53:21,319
Speaker 3: let him do his thing, and he kind of makes

1146
00:53:21,320 --> 00:53:21,800
Speaker 3: it happen.

1147
00:53:22,719 --> 00:53:24,799
Speaker 2: It's different, but it works for them.

1148
00:53:26,160 --> 00:53:31,160
Speaker 1: The more Tyreek Hill gains yardage, the more I gotta

1149
00:53:31,160 --> 00:53:34,160
Speaker 1: believe people are saying it's a bigger loss than we

1150
00:53:34,239 --> 00:53:37,160
Speaker 1: ever thought so in Kansas City, and it's showing right now.

1151
00:53:37,160 --> 00:53:40,440
Speaker 1: I understand the Chiefs got some problems. They've got some drops,

1152
00:53:40,520 --> 00:53:43,360
Speaker 1: a lot of drops this year, some turnovers. Their defense

1153
00:53:43,400 --> 00:53:46,080
Speaker 1: has been tremendous. But on the offensive side of the football,

1154
00:53:46,400 --> 00:53:52,400
Speaker 1: he is a major loss. Major loss was going to

1155
00:53:52,480 --> 00:53:52,839
Speaker 1: be that way.

1156
00:53:52,920 --> 00:53:54,360
Speaker 2: I mean, I do think so.

1157
00:53:54,760 --> 00:53:58,120
Speaker 3: And look, and I'll be honest with you, I didn't

1158
00:53:58,120 --> 00:54:00,880
Speaker 3: think it would be that significant. I didn't think his

1159
00:54:01,120 --> 00:54:05,440
Speaker 3: loss would be that significant to them in terms of

1160
00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:08,799
Speaker 3: I thought they review him as look, he's replaceable, like

1161
00:54:08,880 --> 00:54:11,160
Speaker 3: he'd be replaceable. They can find somebody else who can

1162
00:54:11,200 --> 00:54:15,839
Speaker 3: do some of bad stuff. But nah, it's obvious. It's

1163
00:54:15,880 --> 00:54:18,399
Speaker 3: obvious that he is a big part of what they do.

1164
00:54:18,920 --> 00:54:22,200
Speaker 3: They need him, and they're looking for someone that can

1165
00:54:22,239 --> 00:54:23,640
Speaker 3: replace some of the stuff that he was doing.

1166
00:54:24,200 --> 00:54:25,920
Speaker 1: You know, I thought he was crazy when he left,

1167
00:54:26,120 --> 00:54:27,919
Speaker 1: is it? How do you leave a championship team like that.

1168
00:54:28,200 --> 00:54:30,040
Speaker 1: There's a good chance, a real good chance that the

1169
00:54:30,080 --> 00:54:31,919
Speaker 1: Doves may go further than the Chiefs this year.

1170
00:54:33,440 --> 00:54:38,759
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, Look, it is a big chance that they

1171
00:54:38,760 --> 00:54:42,479
Speaker 3: can go farther. Here's what I think is the big

1172
00:54:42,480 --> 00:54:45,680
Speaker 3: thing when it comes to Tyreek Hill and the Kansas

1173
00:54:45,680 --> 00:54:49,200
Speaker 3: City Chiefs. The Chiefs won last year because Pat Mahomes

1174
00:54:49,239 --> 00:54:51,239
Speaker 3: was more willing to buy into having to play a

1175
00:54:51,239 --> 00:54:53,879
Speaker 3: little more half court basketball, dink and dunk and dink

1176
00:54:53,920 --> 00:54:56,239
Speaker 3: and dunk and all that other stuff. This year, he's

1177
00:54:56,239 --> 00:54:57,959
Speaker 3: been greeting he wants to push it down the field.

1178
00:54:58,000 --> 00:55:02,279
Speaker 3: That goes against his thing when it comes to how

1179
00:55:02,320 --> 00:55:04,760
Speaker 3: he wants to play. He wants to big play chase,

1180
00:55:04,960 --> 00:55:08,280
Speaker 3: and teams are using that against him because the turnovers

1181
00:55:08,320 --> 00:55:11,480
Speaker 3: that he's making. The lack of efficiency with the offense

1182
00:55:11,920 --> 00:55:14,040
Speaker 3: is not necessarily due to the opponent. It's due to

1183
00:55:14,080 --> 00:55:17,759
Speaker 3: Pat Mahomes simply not taking what the defense is giving up.

1184
00:55:18,239 --> 00:55:20,120
Speaker 1: And Bucket Brooks, here's the big question was going to

1185
00:55:20,160 --> 00:55:21,920
Speaker 1: tell you right now, I'm taking the Baltimore Ravens in

1186
00:55:21,960 --> 00:55:24,040
Speaker 1: this game. I think the Ravens beat him. What about you?

1187
00:55:27,080 --> 00:55:28,920
Speaker 3: I think this is one a trap game for the

1188
00:55:28,920 --> 00:55:31,800
Speaker 3: Baltimore Ravens. I think this is when this is perfectly

1189
00:55:31,840 --> 00:55:33,880
Speaker 3: a line for the Miami Dolphins to snatch them.

1190
00:55:33,920 --> 00:55:35,719
Speaker 2: They don't have a significant win. This might be the

1191
00:55:35,719 --> 00:55:36,640
Speaker 2: first time that they get it.

1192
00:55:37,320 --> 00:55:39,000
Speaker 1: And the reason why I say that, I just say

1193
00:55:39,080 --> 00:55:41,680
Speaker 1: that wildlum Hill are not one hundred percent. I think

1194
00:55:41,719 --> 00:55:43,919
Speaker 1: it's a major factor. I really do. So we'll see

1195
00:55:43,920 --> 00:55:45,359
Speaker 1: what happened to be a great game. There's no doubt

1196
00:55:45,400 --> 00:55:48,360
Speaker 1: about that. A great game, and I'll be watching it

1197
00:55:48,440 --> 00:55:51,719
Speaker 1: then pulling for the Harbars because I like John and

1198

Speaker 1: I love it. Now. Shortly after the show, our podcast

Speaker 1: Sports Ready wherever you get your podcasts. I'd be sure

1223

Speaker 1: search Fox Sports Ready wherever you get your podcasts, and

1225
00:57:09,640 --> 00:57:12,799
Speaker 1: you'll see this show posted right after we got off

1226
00:57:12,840 --> 00:57:16,200
Speaker 1: the air. But right now we got the Patriots at

1227
00:57:16,200 --> 00:57:19,840
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills, and now the Patriots are positioned to

1228
00:57:20,000 --> 00:57:23,560
Speaker 1: draft fourth overall in the twenty twenty fourth draft after

1229
00:57:23,680 --> 00:57:26,800
Speaker 1: Sunday's win. All right, we know they won on Sunday,

1230
00:57:27,280 --> 00:57:33,200
Speaker 1: but perhaps I'm just jesting here now, perhaps the Patriots

1231
00:57:33,200 --> 00:57:37,160
Speaker 1: should fire Bill Belichick right now rather than risk letting

1232
00:57:37,200 --> 00:57:41,600
Speaker 1: and continue ruining the prospects to suck the new franchise

1233
00:57:41,680 --> 00:57:44,320
Speaker 1: quarterback in the draft. I love it because all these

1234
00:57:44,560 --> 00:57:48,160
Speaker 1: fans are saying they should tank. I remember in Cincinnati

1235
00:57:48,560 --> 00:57:51,320
Speaker 1: when Joe Burrow went down, the fans were saying on

1236
00:57:51,360 --> 00:57:54,919
Speaker 1: social media, lose now, tank now they got a better

1237
00:57:55,000 --> 00:57:57,640
Speaker 1: draft pick. They ain't happening in New England, and that

1238
00:57:57,680 --> 00:58:01,080
Speaker 1: would never happen under Bill Belichick, really, and I'm glad

1239
00:58:01,120 --> 00:58:03,439
Speaker 1: to see that. Yet they won last week, and that's good.

1240
00:58:04,240 --> 00:58:06,080
Speaker 2: You know it won't happen. It won't happen in the

1241
00:58:06,080 --> 00:58:06,840
Speaker 2: Bill Belichick.

1242
00:58:06,880 --> 00:58:09,080
Speaker 3: And it's funny because I'm still not all the way

1243
00:58:09,120 --> 00:58:11,640
Speaker 3: convinced that he deserves to be fired.

1244
00:58:11,760 --> 00:58:12,960
Speaker 2: From New England.

1245
00:58:13,000 --> 00:58:14,560
Speaker 3: When you really look at the team and look at

1246
00:58:14,560 --> 00:58:16,760
Speaker 3: how this team has played. I mean, this team has

1247
00:58:16,760 --> 00:58:18,360
Speaker 3: played in a bunch of competitive games.

1248
00:58:18,360 --> 00:58:20,920
Speaker 2: I think they've lost. I think it's like eight one

1249
00:58:20,960 --> 00:58:21,880
Speaker 2: score losses.

1250
00:58:22,240 --> 00:58:24,640
Speaker 3: I mean, something ridiculous when it comes to the amount

1251
00:58:24,640 --> 00:58:27,920
Speaker 3: of like those things they are. I mean, no one

1252
00:58:28,000 --> 00:58:31,480
Speaker 3: is just one player away. But look, they're solid quarterback.

1253
00:58:31,080 --> 00:58:33,280
Speaker 2: Play away from being what they were.

1254
00:58:34,960 --> 00:58:39,080
Speaker 3: And I think, look, for whatever reason, everyone is on it,

1255
00:58:39,120 --> 00:58:42,120
Speaker 3: everyone is trying to debunk it. I think the Crafts

1256
00:58:42,200 --> 00:58:44,920
Speaker 3: need to tread lightly before they move on, because I

1257
00:58:45,000 --> 00:58:47,360
Speaker 3: know it seems like it should be so easy to

1258
00:58:47,400 --> 00:58:49,240
Speaker 3: get back to the super Bowl and they shouldn't be

1259
00:58:49,280 --> 00:58:51,360
Speaker 3: on these hard times. They won six super Bowls in

1260
00:58:51,400 --> 00:58:53,920
Speaker 3: twenty years. I think they went to ten in a

1261
00:58:53,960 --> 00:58:58,000
Speaker 3: twenty year period. But look, I can't say that it's

1262
00:58:58,040 --> 00:58:59,320
Speaker 3: all due to the coaching.

1263
00:59:00,520 --> 00:59:00,800
Speaker 2: Andy.

1264
00:59:00,840 --> 00:59:03,439
Speaker 3: I'm looking at these scores. Six oh ten to seven,

1265
00:59:03,480 --> 00:59:06,800
Speaker 3: they lost ten six, They lost twenty to seventeen, they

1266
00:59:06,840 --> 00:59:08,560
Speaker 3: lost twenty one to seventeen.

1267
00:59:08,640 --> 00:59:11,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, two big they lost Yeah, I mean thirty eight

1268
00:59:12,000 --> 00:59:13,320
Speaker 1: three in New Orleans, thirty five.

1269
00:59:13,200 --> 00:59:17,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean the Eagles twenty five to twenty. I mean,

1270
00:59:17,120 --> 00:59:20,160
Speaker 3: this is a very competitive team. So the record is

1271
00:59:20,200 --> 00:59:23,240
Speaker 3: a bit of an illusion. It doesn't fully represent how

1272
00:59:23,280 --> 00:59:25,920
Speaker 3: they are. I mean, this is a look a tough,

1273
00:59:26,320 --> 00:59:30,080
Speaker 3: competitive team, they won, they may decide to move on

1274
00:59:30,160 --> 00:59:31,640
Speaker 3: for him. But I'm telling you, man, he's still won

1275
00:59:31,720 --> 00:59:33,760
Speaker 3: the best coaches in football, if not the best.

1276
00:59:33,800 --> 00:59:35,320
Speaker 1: The best, he is the best. And then let me

1277
00:59:35,320 --> 00:59:38,040
Speaker 1: ask you this question now, with the problems arising in

1278
00:59:38,080 --> 00:59:42,400
Speaker 1: Denver with Russell Wilson, can Russell Wilson turn fortunes around

1279
00:59:42,400 --> 00:59:44,680
Speaker 1: in New England if they pick up Russell Wilson.

1280
00:59:45,720 --> 00:59:47,440
Speaker 3: It's funny that you brought that up because I watched

1281
00:59:47,440 --> 00:59:50,600
Speaker 3: the interactions with Bill Belichick and Russell Wilson after the game.

1282
00:59:50,920 --> 00:59:52,600
Speaker 2: To me, that's an interesting matchup.

1283
00:59:52,880 --> 00:59:56,280
Speaker 3: It's an interesting thing in terms of Russell Wilson would

1284
00:59:56,280 --> 00:59:58,720
Speaker 3: appear to be the perfect fit in New England.

1285
00:59:58,960 --> 00:59:59,880
Speaker 2: In terms of his work.

1286
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:02,240
Speaker 3: I think how goes about his business, how private he

1287
01:00:02,320 --> 01:00:05,280
Speaker 3: is when it comes to quiet, he's the company man

1288
01:00:05,320 --> 01:00:08,400
Speaker 3: when it comes to team only things or whatever. I

1289
01:00:08,400 --> 01:00:12,520
Speaker 3: would be intrigued to see what that looked like in

1290
01:00:12,560 --> 01:00:16,200
Speaker 3: New England. A very motivated Russell Wilson, who look, we

1291
01:00:16,200 --> 01:00:17,840
Speaker 3: can say a lot of different things, and I'm not

1292
01:00:17,880 --> 01:00:19,360
Speaker 3: saying that he was the best, and I felt like

1293
01:00:20,440 --> 01:00:25,000
Speaker 3: from an ego standpoint, he undermined the Seahawks efforts at

1294
01:00:25,040 --> 01:00:27,320
Speaker 3: the end of his tenure because he wanted it to

1295
01:00:27,320 --> 01:00:29,320
Speaker 3: be about him when they had been about the team.

1296
01:00:29,720 --> 01:00:31,840
Speaker 2: But now that he's been humbled twice won.

1297
01:00:31,640 --> 01:00:33,880
Speaker 3: By the Seattle Seahawks, willing to let him go to

1298
01:00:33,920 --> 01:00:37,560
Speaker 3: the Seahawks seeing a success without him, With Gino Smith

1299
01:00:37,600 --> 01:00:41,080
Speaker 3: and Drew Locke and backup quarterbacks being dismissed from the

1300
01:00:41,120 --> 01:00:45,120
Speaker 3: Denver Broncos, this might be the perfect time for Russell

1301
01:00:45,280 --> 01:00:48,240
Speaker 3: to join Bill Belichick and go to New England because

1302
01:00:48,240 --> 01:00:51,040
Speaker 3: if he's able to bring the Patriots back, and if

1303
01:00:51,080 --> 01:00:55,640
Speaker 3: Bill Belichick is able to kind of resuscitate Russell Wilson's career,

1304
01:00:55,920 --> 01:00:58,200
Speaker 3: it's a feather in both of those guys, cap and

1305
01:00:58,240 --> 01:01:01,240
Speaker 3: if he Bill Belichick was willing to do it with

1306
01:01:01,280 --> 01:01:04,200
Speaker 3: Cam Newton, why wouldn't he at least kick the tires

1307
01:01:04,200 --> 01:01:06,480
Speaker 3: on Russell Wilson if he becomes available.

1308
01:01:06,320 --> 01:01:07,880
Speaker 1: With you, And it's always in life, what have you

1309
01:01:07,920 --> 01:01:10,800
Speaker 1: done for me lately? The legacy factor right now, if

1310
01:01:10,840 --> 01:01:13,000
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson walks away from the game, they'll remember what

1311
01:01:13,080 --> 01:01:15,320
Speaker 1: he did in Denver. He goes to New England and

1312
01:01:15,320 --> 01:01:17,600
Speaker 1: gets him into a playoff. I mean, there's the legacy

1313
01:01:17,680 --> 01:01:19,800
Speaker 1: right there. Look what he did. Look at Belichick. Did

1314
01:01:19,800 --> 01:01:22,080
Speaker 1: they forget about the losing seasons the last two to

1315
01:01:22,080 --> 01:01:25,120
Speaker 1: three years without Tom Brady, because now it's a shame

1316
01:01:25,240 --> 01:01:28,240
Speaker 1: that they're saying Belichick can't do it without Tom Brady. Well,

1317
01:01:28,320 --> 01:01:30,680
Speaker 1: you know, to some extent, there's the truth there, because

1318
01:01:30,880 --> 01:01:33,520
Speaker 1: you can't win without a quarterback in the National Football League.

1319
01:01:33,560 --> 01:01:35,959
Speaker 1: But as you mentioned with the scores this year, they've

1320
01:01:35,960 --> 01:01:38,480
Speaker 1: been in every game except two two games they have

1321
01:01:38,560 --> 01:01:41,040
Speaker 1: not been in the Dallas game at Dallas, and nobody

1322
01:01:41,120 --> 01:01:42,840
Speaker 1: wins in Dallas, just as the way they rate know

1323
01:01:43,000 --> 01:01:45,520
Speaker 1: this year, and they're averaging forty points a game in Dallas.

1324
01:01:45,560 --> 01:01:47,840
Speaker 1: They lose thirty eight three in Dallas, and they lost

1325
01:01:47,880 --> 01:01:50,040
Speaker 1: to New Orleans thirty four zip. Other than that, they

1326
01:01:50,040 --> 01:01:53,080
Speaker 1: were in every game at least by a touchdown or less.

1327
01:01:54,720 --> 01:01:57,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean every game, every game.

1328
01:01:57,080 --> 01:02:00,920
Speaker 3: The thing that has killed him has been and like

1329
01:02:00,920 --> 01:02:03,720
Speaker 3: their offense dere averaging fourteen.

1330
01:02:03,400 --> 01:02:05,880
Speaker 2: Point one points the game dead last. Like that's been

1331
01:02:05,920 --> 01:02:06,280
Speaker 2: the thing.

1332
01:02:06,600 --> 01:02:09,760
Speaker 3: You just talk about the thin line between winning and losing,

1333
01:02:09,840 --> 01:02:12,560
Speaker 3: and a lot of that has been their inability to

1334
01:02:12,760 --> 01:02:15,320
Speaker 3: just kind of take care of business offensively defensively. You

1335
01:02:15,400 --> 01:02:17,919
Speaker 3: can't complain there's not a team. There's not a player,

1336
01:02:17,920 --> 01:02:20,000
Speaker 3: there's not a fan base. They wouldn't want Bill Belichick

1337
01:02:20,040 --> 01:02:23,280
Speaker 3: to have some part of your defense. Like he's legendary

1338
01:02:23,320 --> 01:02:26,560
Speaker 3: for those game plans. There's not anyone who wouldn't want

1339
01:02:26,680 --> 01:02:28,800
Speaker 3: him to be able to teach your culture and environment

1340
01:02:28,840 --> 01:02:31,240
Speaker 3: how to win because the things that he believes in

1341
01:02:31,280 --> 01:02:32,560
Speaker 3: are things that are sustainable.

1342
01:02:32,840 --> 01:02:33,800
Speaker 2: Despite all of his.

1343
01:02:33,880 --> 01:02:37,960
Speaker 3: Minions failing when they've had their opportunity, you're getting the

1344
01:02:38,000 --> 01:02:40,560
Speaker 3: real deal in Bill Belichick. And so I think Robert

1345
01:02:40,600 --> 01:02:45,000
Speaker 3: Kraft has to think about that before he willingly kicks

1346
01:02:45,040 --> 01:02:47,800
Speaker 3: him out the door, because I know everyone is clamoring.

1347
01:02:47,400 --> 01:02:49,560
Speaker 2: For change and they're talking about the Tom Brady thing.

1348
01:02:49,600 --> 01:02:50,400
Speaker 2: But guess what you can't do.

1349
01:02:50,760 --> 01:02:53,560
Speaker 3: You can't wipe away the success that Bill Belichick and

1350
01:02:53,600 --> 01:02:54,960
Speaker 3: Tom Brady had together.

1351
01:02:55,400 --> 01:02:56,440
Speaker 2: Yes, Tom Brady won a.

1352
01:02:56,400 --> 01:02:58,720
Speaker 3: Super Bowl on his own, but it's a team game

1353
01:02:58,800 --> 01:03:00,960
Speaker 3: and the circumstances just worked out for him better than

1354
01:03:01,040 --> 01:03:03,919
Speaker 3: Tampa at that point. But I would man, I would

1355
01:03:03,920 --> 01:03:06,760
Speaker 3: be slow to think about dismissing Bill Belichick.

1356
01:03:06,840 --> 01:03:07,560
Speaker 2: Fround the Patriots.

1357
01:03:07,680 --> 01:03:09,480
Speaker 1: I'm with you right there. Back on Week seven of

1358
01:03:09,520 --> 01:03:12,200
Speaker 1: this season, the Pagris did beat the Buffalo Bill's twenty

1359
01:03:12,280 --> 01:03:15,440
Speaker 1: nine to twenty five in that game that gave Belichick

1360
01:03:15,480 --> 01:03:19,160
Speaker 1: his three hundredth regular season win. Three hundred wins, and

1361
01:03:19,200 --> 01:03:20,880
Speaker 1: you're gonna throw this guy at the door. You're out

1362
01:03:20,880 --> 01:03:22,800
Speaker 1: of your mind. Really. Buffalo has won four of the

1363
01:03:22,840 --> 01:03:24,920
Speaker 1: last five. They need to win today. They're nine and

1364
01:03:25,000 --> 01:03:27,800
Speaker 1: six this day, alive for the AFC playoffs. Josh Allen

1365
01:03:27,880 --> 01:03:33,200
Speaker 1: quarterback forty touchdowns, twenty seven passing, thirteen rushing. Maybe, maybe,

1366
01:03:33,240 --> 01:03:35,360
Speaker 1: if they move along a little bit, Josh Allen's name

1367
01:03:35,520 --> 01:03:38,320
Speaker 1: could be thrown in there for an MVP conversation. I

1368
01:03:38,400 --> 01:03:41,760
Speaker 1: doubt it, but perhaps and last, but not least, Falcons

1369
01:03:41,760 --> 01:03:43,800
Speaker 1: are at the Bears today. Bears have won four straight

1370
01:03:43,840 --> 01:03:47,400
Speaker 1: games at home. The Falcons. Their problem is the yo yo,

1371
01:03:47,480 --> 01:03:50,720
Speaker 1: with the quarterback situation. You're gonna give me Desmond Ritter

1372
01:03:51,040 --> 01:03:53,440
Speaker 1: or give me Taylor Heineken. What is it? I mean,

1373
01:03:53,520 --> 01:03:56,200
Speaker 1: you can't. You can't do that and change quarterbacks week

1374
01:03:56,240 --> 01:03:58,680
Speaker 1: by week. You just can't do it. But as for Heineken,

1375
01:03:58,720 --> 01:04:00,960
Speaker 1: he led the Falcons to a season high twenty nine

1376
01:04:01,000 --> 01:04:03,439
Speaker 1: points in a win last week. So to me stay

1377
01:04:03,480 --> 01:04:06,120
Speaker 1: with Heinike. At least he gave you something you just

1378
01:04:06,160 --> 01:04:08,720
Speaker 1: can't be switching quarterbacks now.

1379
01:04:08,800 --> 01:04:11,120
Speaker 2: You can't go back and forth. You have to.

1380
01:04:12,720 --> 01:04:14,840
Speaker 3: Stay the course with somebody. If you're Arthur Blank, you're

1381
01:04:14,840 --> 01:04:17,400
Speaker 3: looking for a consistency from someone. I don't know if

1382
01:04:17,560 --> 01:04:19,920
Speaker 3: the quarterback is the quarterback of the future, but right.

1383
01:04:19,800 --> 01:04:21,320
Speaker 2: Now, man, you just want to win games.

1384
01:04:21,480 --> 01:04:23,720
Speaker 3: You're fighting for your coaching life, and so if you

1385
01:04:23,720 --> 01:04:25,520
Speaker 3: can get two wins at the end of the season

1386
01:04:25,640 --> 01:04:28,680
Speaker 3: to show that the error is pointed up, you want

1387
01:04:28,680 --> 01:04:31,040
Speaker 3: to do that. And right now, Taylor Heinike gives this

1388
01:04:31,120 --> 01:04:32,760
Speaker 3: team the best chance to win.

1389
01:04:33,680 --> 01:04:35,560
Speaker 1: I'm with you right there, and I tell you, I

1390
01:04:35,600 --> 01:04:37,720
Speaker 1: think the Bears win this game game in Chicago. They

1391
01:04:37,720 --> 01:04:40,000
Speaker 1: have won four straight in Chicago. They're gonna win again.

1392
01:04:40,040 --> 01:04:42,360
Speaker 1: They're coming on. There'll be seven and nine, and maybe

1393
01:04:42,360 --> 01:04:46,840
Speaker 1: they'll squash those talks about Justin Fields. What's going to

1394
01:04:46,920 --> 01:04:48,800
Speaker 1: happen to him. I think he'll still be a quarterback

1395
01:04:48,840 --> 01:04:50,960
Speaker 1: for the Bears, So we'll leave that alone.

1396
01:04:51,520 --> 01:04:54,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, those talks will continue, those tuses will continue to

1397
01:04:54,240 --> 01:04:54,480
Speaker 3: go on.

1398
01:04:54,600 --> 01:04:56,480
Speaker 2: I think what's going to happen.

1399
01:04:56,200 --> 01:04:58,520
Speaker 3: Though, it is a conversation coming out of se about

1400
01:04:58,560 --> 01:05:01,760
Speaker 3: Kayla Williams and whether people really believe in him and

1401
01:05:01,800 --> 01:05:05,080
Speaker 3: his talents, his a building the league guys in those things,

1402
01:05:05,200 --> 01:05:07,640
Speaker 3: or will someone else fall to the top of the charts,

1403
01:05:07,760 --> 01:05:09,760
Speaker 3: you know, will it be Jalen Daniels, Will it be

1404
01:05:09,840 --> 01:05:14,200
Speaker 3: Drake May all those things, but Justin Filis can only

1405
01:05:14,240 --> 01:05:16,320
Speaker 3: do what he's done this far, and they're playing better.

1406
01:05:16,320 --> 01:05:18,160
Speaker 3: Matt eba Flus has done a better job with the

1407
01:05:18,240 --> 01:05:22,040
Speaker 3: defense since he's become the defensive play caller and head coach.

1408
01:05:23,480 --> 01:05:25,600
Speaker 3: They look like a much better team. They haven't quit

1409
01:05:25,680 --> 01:05:27,800
Speaker 3: on the coach. They're fighting to the end. But this

1410
01:05:27,840 --> 01:05:30,960
Speaker 3: is a big one. They need to win to continue

1411
01:05:31,000 --> 01:05:33,240
Speaker 3: to kind of build upon the momentum that they've started

1412
01:05:33,240 --> 01:05:35,240
Speaker 3: to show system middle of the season.

1413
01:05:35,880 --> 01:05:36,320
Speaker 2: Here we go.

1414
01:05:36,400 --> 01:05:38,800
Speaker 1: He's Bucky Brooks, I mean he firma together. We have

1415
01:05:38,840 --> 01:05:41,160
Speaker 1: Fox Football Sunday of Fox Spot's ready and by the way,

1416
01:05:41,400 --> 01:05:43,760
Speaker 1: and one word only in one word for this team

1417
01:05:44,040 --> 01:05:48,920
Speaker 1: this season, the word is frustrating. That's next. But first,

1418
01:05:49,040 --> 01:05:51,000
Speaker 1: here's Kevin Wyantt with all your sports.

1419
01:05:51,160 --> 01:05:53,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, we're about five and a half hours away from

1420
01:05:53,560 --> 01:05:56,480
Speaker 4: kicking off the second the last Sunday in the NFL

1421
01:05:56,560 --> 01:05:58,880
Speaker 4: regular season. We do have some injury updates for you.

1422
01:05:58,920 --> 01:06:01,760
Speaker 4: Adam Schefter with the the most recent one a couple

1423
01:06:01,840 --> 01:06:04,360
Speaker 4: hours ago on Jamar Chase saying that he plans to

1424
01:06:04,440 --> 01:06:08,160
Speaker 4: test out his injured shoulder pregame to see how it feels,

1425
01:06:08,160 --> 01:06:12,280
Speaker 4: but there is optimism he will play today against the Chiefs.

1426
01:06:12,640 --> 01:06:16,080
Speaker 4: Ian Rappaport with some update. Saints running back Alvin Kamara

1427
01:06:16,560 --> 01:06:19,120
Speaker 4: is set to play today. He's been out of practice

1428
01:06:19,560 --> 01:06:22,520
Speaker 4: this week with an illness. As for the Seahcuse, they

1429
01:06:22,520 --> 01:06:25,360
Speaker 4: got a big matchup with the Steelers and they'll have

1430
01:06:25,400 --> 01:06:28,560
Speaker 4: a couple of key players Kenneth Walker, DK Metcalf both

1431
01:06:28,600 --> 01:06:31,520
Speaker 4: in a good place to play today that each listened

1432
01:06:31,520 --> 01:06:35,400
Speaker 4: as questionable. Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison is playing today.

1433
01:06:35,400 --> 01:06:38,120
Speaker 4: He's listening to this questionable with an ankle injury. Rams

1434
01:06:38,120 --> 01:06:41,160
Speaker 4: wide receiver Puka Nikua expected to play. He's dealing with

1435
01:06:41,200 --> 01:06:44,240
Speaker 4: a hip issue. Cold swide receiver Michael Pittman Junior has

1436
01:06:44,280 --> 01:06:48,480
Speaker 4: clear concussion protocol. He's expected to play today. Broncos wide

1437
01:06:48,520 --> 01:06:51,600
Speaker 4: receiver Jerry Judy questionable with an illness. Expected to be

1438
01:06:51,640 --> 01:06:55,320
Speaker 4: on the field today, However, wide receiver Marvin Mims Junior

1439
01:06:55,840 --> 01:06:59,840
Speaker 4: not expected to go, and Bears tight end Cole Kmet

1440
01:07:00,480 --> 01:07:03,560
Speaker 4: is expected to play today. Against the Falcons. He's questionable

1441
01:07:03,720 --> 01:07:06,080
Speaker 4: with a knee injury. He only practice on Friday, but

1442
01:07:06,120 --> 01:07:09,800
Speaker 4: he is expected to play in Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray

1443
01:07:09,960 --> 01:07:12,240
Speaker 4: expected to play today. He's missed much of the week

1444
01:07:13,040 --> 01:07:17,480
Speaker 4: also with an illness. As for the NFL action last night, Man,

1445
01:07:17,520 --> 01:07:19,320
Speaker 4: that's been the talk of the sports world After that

1446
01:07:19,440 --> 01:07:22,480
Speaker 4: controversial ending, The Cowboys end up being the Giants twenty

1447
01:07:22,480 --> 01:07:26,360
Speaker 4: to nineteen after Detroit didn't convert on a two point

1448
01:07:26,400 --> 01:07:29,040
Speaker 4: conversion attempt after an a mon Ross Saint Brown touchdown

1449
01:07:29,080 --> 01:07:31,440
Speaker 4: to get the game to within one point with twenty

1450
01:07:31,440 --> 01:07:35,439
Speaker 4: three seconds ago. However, it actually appeared the Lions took

1451
01:07:35,480 --> 01:07:39,000
Speaker 4: the lead because on that first two point conversion attempt,

1452
01:07:39,880 --> 01:07:44,520
Speaker 4: Jared Goff completed pass to tackle Taylor Decker, but referee

1453
01:07:44,560 --> 01:07:47,080
Speaker 4: brat Allen said that Decker did not report as eligible.

1454
01:07:47,320 --> 01:07:51,240
Speaker 4: Alan thought it was actually Decker's teammate Dan Skipper reporting,

1455
01:07:51,320 --> 01:07:53,600
Speaker 4: so he said number seventy, not number sixty eight, which

1456
01:07:53,640 --> 01:07:56,040
Speaker 4: is Decker's number. So when he caught the ball, he

1457
01:07:56,120 --> 01:07:58,800
Speaker 4: was penalized for illegal touching That marks the Lions back

1458
01:07:58,880 --> 01:08:01,560
Speaker 4: five yards. They then would try to go for two

1459
01:08:01,720 --> 01:08:04,360
Speaker 4: again would throw At least it looked like Jared Goff

1460
01:08:04,360 --> 01:08:07,640
Speaker 4: would throw an interception, but the Cowboys called for offside,

1461
01:08:07,680 --> 01:08:10,160
Speaker 4: so they'd go for it a third time instead of

1462
01:08:10,320 --> 01:08:12,440
Speaker 4: just kicking the extra point to tie the game a

1463
01:08:12,520 --> 01:08:14,959
Speaker 4: third time, they went for two when Jared Goff's pass

1464
01:08:15,000 --> 01:08:18,920
Speaker 4: fell incomplete and the Cowboys escape with the twenty to

1465
01:08:19,040 --> 01:08:20,080
Speaker 4: nineteen win.

1466
01:08:20,520 --> 01:08:22,599
Speaker 1: Back to you guys, all right, thank you, keV all

1467
01:08:22,680 --> 01:08:25,759

1475
01:08:49,360 --> 01:08:52,719
Speaker 1: month of December has not been kind to the Jacksonville Jaguars.

1476
01:08:52,760 --> 01:08:56,080
Speaker 1: They've lost four straight right now and the last six

1477
01:08:56,160 --> 01:08:59,000
Speaker 1: I believe or seven. They lost five of their last seven.

1478
01:09:00,080 --> 01:09:02,360
Speaker 1: It's not good. I don't think you want to end

1479
01:09:02,360 --> 01:09:05,280
Speaker 1: the season. They're going up in the opposite direction of

1480
01:09:05,360 --> 01:09:08,280
Speaker 1: the La Rams. Right now, I don't understand why, how

1481
01:09:08,320 --> 01:09:11,400
Speaker 1: has this happened? Trevor Lawrence got that shoulder question, I know,

1482
01:09:11,560 --> 01:09:13,400
Speaker 1: but he has not missed a game at all this year.

1483
01:09:14,040 --> 01:09:17,599
Speaker 1: I don't think they're gonna be dragged down by the

1484
01:09:17,640 --> 01:09:20,679
Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers, who are two and thirteen today. But still

1485
01:09:20,720 --> 01:09:23,320
Speaker 1: in all things are not good. And there's a cloud

1486
01:09:23,360 --> 01:09:25,160
Speaker 1: hanging over the Jacksonville Jaguars.

1487
01:09:26,640 --> 01:09:28,280
Speaker 2: You know things that mean great. You lose four in

1488
01:09:28,320 --> 01:09:30,959
Speaker 2: a row. Look, you lose a lot of confidence.

1489
01:09:31,080 --> 01:09:32,559
Speaker 3: And right now you talk about a team that has

1490
01:09:33,160 --> 01:09:36,519
Speaker 3: a fragile belief in themselves. This will be the first

1491
01:09:36,520 --> 01:09:37,800
Speaker 3: game Trevor Lawrence is gonna miss.

1492
01:09:37,800 --> 01:09:41,000
Speaker 2: He's out this game. So Trevor Lawrence is gonna be out. CJ.

1493
01:09:41,080 --> 01:09:42,880
Speaker 2: Bethort would be up here be the QB.

1494
01:09:42,720 --> 01:09:46,080
Speaker 3: One and this team has to somehow rally around the

1495
01:09:46,120 --> 01:09:48,720
Speaker 3: backup quarterback. The Carolina Panthers are coming off two of

1496
01:09:48,760 --> 01:09:52,920
Speaker 3: their better performances of the year. Got to win a

1497
01:09:53,000 --> 01:09:56,360
Speaker 3: couple of weeks ago against Atlanta Falcons narrowly lost to

1498
01:09:56,400 --> 01:09:58,839
Speaker 3: the Green Bay Packers, but Bryce Young had a terrific

1499
01:09:58,920 --> 01:10:03,240
Speaker 3: fourth quarter performance that build a little momentum within the

1500
01:10:03,280 --> 01:10:06,080
Speaker 3: building for the Jaguars. This is a tough game because

1501
01:10:06,160 --> 01:10:08,800
Speaker 3: everyone on the outside world is going to tell you that, look,

1502
01:10:08,800 --> 01:10:11,280
Speaker 3: the Carolina Panthers suck, they're not good, that it should

1503
01:10:11,280 --> 01:10:14,439
Speaker 3: be an easy win regardless of who plays. And you

1504
01:10:14,479 --> 01:10:16,559
Speaker 3: have to realize going into this game that every game

1505
01:10:16,600 --> 01:10:19,160
Speaker 3: is gonna be a one score game. So can you

1506
01:10:19,160 --> 01:10:22,479
Speaker 3: look step into the arena mature enough to handle business

1507
01:10:22,720 --> 01:10:25,120
Speaker 3: against the Carolina Panthers. That's what everyone wants to see.

1508
01:10:25,160 --> 01:10:28,120
Speaker 3: Because they win, it pretty much locks them into the playoffs.

1509
01:10:28,120 --> 01:10:30,719
Speaker 3: But they lose, now who knows where they.

1510
01:10:30,640 --> 01:10:31,280
Speaker 2: End up going.

1511
01:10:31,320 --> 01:10:34,400
Speaker 3: But this is one you can loosely call it a

1512
01:10:34,479 --> 01:10:36,280
Speaker 3: must win game. I think it's a must win game.

1513
01:10:36,520 --> 01:10:38,639
Speaker 2: You need to win because at some point you want

1514
01:10:38,640 --> 01:10:41,040
Speaker 2: to create some momentum to give your team confidence that

1515
01:10:41,120 --> 01:10:42,840
Speaker 2: if they do get into the postseason, they can win

1516
01:10:42,880 --> 01:10:43,479
Speaker 2: some games.

1517
01:10:43,920 --> 01:10:46,320
Speaker 1: You know, you're close to the situation. You're with the

1518
01:10:46,400 --> 01:10:49,479
Speaker 1: Jaguars at all the time you live there. What's the

1519
01:10:49,520 --> 01:10:52,240
Speaker 1: mood like in the city of Jacksonville. How is the

1520
01:10:52,280 --> 01:10:53,840
Speaker 1: media handling the Jaguars?

1521
01:10:54,640 --> 01:10:54,840
Speaker 2: Oh?

1522
01:10:54,840 --> 01:10:58,360
Speaker 3: Well, I mean you have to understand, probably like you

1523
01:10:58,439 --> 01:11:01,599
Speaker 3: living in Cincinnati, the team has been associated with losing

1524
01:11:01,640 --> 01:11:02,559
Speaker 3: for so long, so.

1525
01:11:02,479 --> 01:11:05,120
Speaker 2: When it turned the warm turns back in that direction.

1526
01:11:06,280 --> 01:11:10,680
Speaker 3: All of those losing characteristics and behaviors show up. A

1527
01:11:10,680 --> 01:11:12,559
Speaker 3: lot of doubt, a lot of finger pointing, a lot

1528
01:11:12,560 --> 01:11:14,880
Speaker 3: of blame game and all that other stuff. And the

1529
01:11:14,920 --> 01:11:16,799
Speaker 3: only thing that the team can do and the coaches

1530
01:11:17,160 --> 01:11:19,240
Speaker 3: can do, man, we got to focus on the part

1531
01:11:19,280 --> 01:11:20,080
Speaker 3: that we can control them.

1532
01:11:20,080 --> 01:11:21,679
Speaker 2: That's whether we win to lose games.

1533
01:11:21,920 --> 01:11:24,559
Speaker 3: If you win, then everybody just kind of goes back

1534
01:11:24,560 --> 01:11:25,360
Speaker 3: into the shadows.

1535
01:11:25,400 --> 01:11:26,400
Speaker 2: If you lose, you.

1536
01:11:26,320 --> 01:11:28,600
Speaker 3: Open yourself up for criticism. So the best way to

1537
01:11:28,640 --> 01:11:30,360
Speaker 3: avoid the criticism just win.

1538
01:11:31,040 --> 01:11:33,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, it's funny. In the nineties, the year,

1539
01:11:33,720 --> 01:11:36,240
Speaker 1: the decade of the nineties was like the lost decade

1540
01:11:36,240 --> 01:11:38,880
Speaker 1: for the Cincinnati Bengals. And there was a term that

1541
01:11:39,040 --> 01:11:42,439
Speaker 1: was brought up by the media. When the Bengals would

1542
01:11:42,439 --> 01:11:45,800
Speaker 1: play and something stupid would happen during a ballgame, the

1543
01:11:45,880 --> 01:11:49,920
Speaker 1: player would be called that player is bengalized. He's become Bengalized.

1544
01:11:50,160 --> 01:11:52,280
Speaker 1: And that was bad. And a lot of players who

1545
01:11:53,120 --> 01:11:55,880
Speaker 1: came here with big reps and they came to Cincinnati

1546
01:11:55,880 --> 01:11:57,640
Speaker 1: and they just started losing. And so this guy has

1547
01:11:57,680 --> 01:12:00,679
Speaker 1: been bengalized, So that term is kind of been pushed

1548
01:12:00,720 --> 01:12:02,680
Speaker 1: to the side over the less several years thanks to

1549
01:12:02,760 --> 01:12:04,920
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow. But I know what that's like. When the

1550
01:12:04,920 --> 01:12:08,080
Speaker 1: team loses. It's just an ugly situation and everybody's down.

1551
01:12:08,200 --> 01:12:09,080
Speaker 1: There really are.

1552
01:12:09,840 --> 01:12:12,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, everyone's down. You begin to question, you begin to

1553
01:12:12,280 --> 01:12:12,879
Speaker 2: have doubts.

1554
01:12:13,000 --> 01:12:15,680
Speaker 3: Everyone is trying to say it's a GM fault, the

1555
01:12:15,720 --> 01:12:18,639
Speaker 3: head coach fault, is the quarterback any good? All of

1556
01:12:18,720 --> 01:12:22,719
Speaker 3: those things come into play, and this is just really

1557
01:12:22,760 --> 01:12:26,080
Speaker 3: a lesson in leadership for everybody. Everybody involved in the

1558
01:12:26,080 --> 01:12:28,960
Speaker 3: building has to talk positively about the team and their

1559
01:12:29,040 --> 01:12:31,800
Speaker 3: chances of being able to turn it around. Coaches have

1560
01:12:31,840 --> 01:12:33,479
Speaker 3: to be positive with one another and got to be

1561
01:12:33,479 --> 01:12:34,320
Speaker 3: positive with the team.

1562
01:12:34,600 --> 01:12:36,080
Speaker 2: You can be honest with the team, but you got

1563
01:12:36,160 --> 01:12:36,960
Speaker 2: to be positive. Guys.

1564
01:12:36,960 --> 01:12:39,320
Speaker 3: We got everything we need right here in this room,

1565
01:12:39,560 --> 01:12:41,920
Speaker 3: but we just got to play better. You try and

1566
01:12:41,920 --> 01:12:47,320
Speaker 3: break the game down to this simplest form and say,

1567
01:12:47,320 --> 01:12:50,880
Speaker 3: if we do these things, we'll win. We don't need

1568
01:12:50,920 --> 01:12:52,840
Speaker 3: to go outside of the box. But if we just

1569
01:12:52,920 --> 01:12:54,760
Speaker 3: do X, Y and Z, we'll win the game. So

1570
01:12:54,840 --> 01:12:56,600
Speaker 3: let's focus on doing X, Y and Z.

1571
01:12:57,240 --> 01:12:58,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you talk about somebody who's winning. Right now,

1572
01:12:59,000 --> 01:13:01,400
Speaker 1: let's talk about the Raiders playing at the Colts. Raiders

1573
01:13:01,400 --> 01:13:03,200
Speaker 1: are seven and eight, the Colts are eight and seven,

1574
01:13:03,479 --> 01:13:06,720
Speaker 1: and the Raiders' interim coach Antonio Piers, he's won two

1575
01:13:06,840 --> 01:13:09,920
Speaker 1: or three and he's won four games as the interim coach.

1576
01:13:10,160 --> 01:13:11,920
Speaker 1: I guess he's playing for his life because he wants

1577
01:13:11,920 --> 01:13:14,639
Speaker 1: to get that term Interium removed his four wins as

1578
01:13:14,680 --> 01:13:17,200
Speaker 1: the coach and gets what. They're still in the mix

1579
01:13:17,560 --> 01:13:20,599
Speaker 1: for the AFC West title, which is unbelievable, and their

1580
01:13:20,640 --> 01:13:23,679
Speaker 1: defense has scored four touchdowns over the last two weeks.

1581
01:13:23,680 --> 01:13:26,519
Speaker 1: So right now, this Raiders team has come alive under

1582
01:13:26,560 --> 01:13:27,760
Speaker 1: Antonio Piers.

1583
01:13:28,360 --> 01:13:31,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, they come a love because he's demanded more energy,

1584
01:13:31,800 --> 01:13:35,720
Speaker 3: more effort, more toughness, more physicality from them. One of

1585
01:13:35,760 --> 01:13:37,400
Speaker 3: the things that you get when you have a former

1586
01:13:37,439 --> 01:13:40,760
Speaker 3: player at the helm is there's an instant respect and

1587
01:13:40,840 --> 01:13:44,160
Speaker 3: credibility factor and when the former player in charge can

1588
01:13:44,200 --> 01:13:48,160
Speaker 3: bring it with knowledge and what I call a good

1589
01:13:48,200 --> 01:13:52,600
Speaker 3: set of coaching tools, he now has an opportunity to

1590
01:13:52,600 --> 01:13:55,840
Speaker 3: be special. Antonio Pierce has been around great coaches his

1591
01:13:56,040 --> 01:13:59,680
Speaker 3: entire time, going back his days at Arizona, but then

1592
01:13:59,680 --> 01:14:02,680
Speaker 3: coming to the league. He came up under Marty Schoenhaimer

1593
01:14:03,080 --> 01:14:06,439
Speaker 3: and then he worked up under Tom Cofflin with the Giants.

1594
01:14:07,040 --> 01:14:10,200
Speaker 3: Both of those guys are different, but they're old school coaches.

1595
01:14:11,000 --> 01:14:13,960
Speaker 3: Marty Schottenheimer was a big believer in the fundamentals and man,

1596
01:14:14,000 --> 01:14:15,360
Speaker 3: you got a block, you get attack, You got to

1597
01:14:15,439 --> 01:14:17,160
Speaker 3: run to the football. You take care of the football,

1598
01:14:17,200 --> 01:14:20,880
Speaker 3: You're gonna win games. Tom Coughlin is an edgy, tough guy.

1599
01:14:21,040 --> 01:14:23,400
Speaker 3: Do it the right way, you know how to act well.

1600
01:14:23,439 --> 01:14:25,160
Speaker 3: Ap has been able to take all that within his

1601
01:14:25,240 --> 01:14:27,920
Speaker 3: own personality and teach the Raiders how to win, and

1602
01:14:27,920 --> 01:14:29,840
Speaker 3: teach them how to win quickly. You look at what

1603
01:14:29,880 --> 01:14:32,599
Speaker 3: their defense has done since he's been elevated to interim

1604
01:14:32,640 --> 01:14:35,519
Speaker 3: head coach. I think they may be number one in

1605
01:14:35,600 --> 01:14:41,200
Speaker 3: terms of scoring, defense, sacks, turnovers, defensive scores then at

1606
01:14:41,240 --> 01:14:43,400
Speaker 3: the top of the charts and all those things. And

1607
01:14:43,439 --> 01:14:47,080
Speaker 3: it's just because he has the Raiders playing old school

1608
01:14:47,080 --> 01:14:50,439
Speaker 3: football while retaining the Raider edge. It's a rare thing

1609
01:14:50,479 --> 01:14:52,240
Speaker 3: to do, but just want to look. He's doing it

1610
01:14:52,240 --> 01:14:53,120
Speaker 3: in Vegas for sure.

1611
01:14:53,560 --> 01:14:57,120
Speaker 1: You know with quarterback Aidan O'Connell quarterbacking for the Raiders

1612
01:14:57,120 --> 01:14:59,880
Speaker 1: and Gardner Minshew quarterbacking for the Colts. I'm not so

1613
01:15:00,120 --> 01:15:03,439
Speaker 1: sure which team is better on the field the personnel wise,

1614
01:15:03,600 --> 01:15:05,320
Speaker 1: But I will say this, if someone were to ask

1615
01:15:05,360 --> 01:15:08,320
Speaker 1: me who's gonna win this game, several factors coming to play.

1616
01:15:08,400 --> 01:15:10,840
Speaker 1: Number One, the game is in Indianapolis. That helps a

1617
01:15:10,840 --> 01:15:12,799
Speaker 1: little bit. But I think the Colts are a playoff

1618
01:15:12,840 --> 01:15:15,799
Speaker 1: contender with a lot more on the line than the Raiders.

1619
01:15:15,920 --> 01:15:18,120
Speaker 1: So I think I'll take the Colts to win this game.

1620
01:15:18,280 --> 01:15:21,439
Speaker 1: But again, it's gonna be real close because I don't

1621
01:15:21,439 --> 01:15:23,000
Speaker 1: know which team has the better talent with the two

1622
01:15:23,080 --> 01:15:26,160
Speaker 1: quarterbacks at a quarterback, So that's that's where I'm going.

1623
01:15:26,200 --> 01:15:27,400
Speaker 1: I'm going with the Colts.

1624
01:15:28,840 --> 01:15:31,200
Speaker 2: Should be a good one. I think window.

1625
01:15:31,280 --> 01:15:34,280
Speaker 1: Well in a way. I mean, we'll see. I remember

1626
01:15:34,320 --> 01:15:36,920
Speaker 1: last year what happened when the Colts won their last game,

1627
01:15:36,960 --> 01:15:38,680
Speaker 1: which is a meaningless game to cut the team out

1628
01:15:38,680 --> 01:15:40,840
Speaker 1: of the playoffs, not to mention the team, but we'll

1629
01:15:40,880 --> 01:15:44,280
Speaker 1: keep it going there. Bucky Brooks, Andy Furman, Fox Football

Speaker 3: Mean he will not like he was back, No, he was,

1680
01:18:07,160 --> 01:18:10,479
Speaker 3: he was on the sideline or whatever. Look, he will

1681
01:18:10,520 --> 01:18:14,120
Speaker 3: feel the pressure next year because look, as Shaye knows,

1682
01:18:14,640 --> 01:18:16,559
Speaker 3: Joe Flacco nails a Marty like, then you might as

1683
01:18:16,560 --> 01:18:19,879
Speaker 3: well put like Brian Sipe, Joe Flacco.

1684
01:18:20,040 --> 01:18:21,960
Speaker 2: They're right there. There should be there will be a

1685
01:18:22,040 --> 01:18:25,040
Speaker 2: statue outside of that stadium if they win and go

1686
01:18:25,120 --> 01:18:28,719
Speaker 2: deep in the playoffs. Goodness, Shawn Watt Man, oh.

1687
01:18:28,680 --> 01:18:30,200
Speaker 7: Man, if they win the Super Bowl?

1688
01:18:30,280 --> 01:18:30,439
Speaker 2: Is he?

1689
01:18:30,800 --> 01:18:32,000
Speaker 7: Is he the starter next year?

1690
01:18:33,680 --> 01:18:36,559
Speaker 3: Look, man, I think there's gonna be conversation about next

1691
01:18:36,640 --> 01:18:37,080
Speaker 3: year just.

1692
01:18:37,000 --> 01:18:39,000
Speaker 2: Because the way they go. Yeah, he's thirty nine, but

1693
01:18:39,040 --> 01:18:40,080
Speaker 2: they're playing better.

1694
01:18:40,120 --> 01:18:42,280
Speaker 1: No doubt. I mean it puts a lot of pressure play.

1695
01:18:42,360 --> 01:18:46,040
Speaker 3: It puts a lot of pressure on Yeah, play, a

1696
01:18:46,080 --> 01:18:47,880
Speaker 3: lot of pressure on DeShawn Watson.

1697

1703
01:19:00,400 --> 01:19:03,080
Speaker 7: a couple of weeks. If anything, it was an ego boosting.

1704
01:19:03,880 --> 01:19:05,400
Speaker 7: I think we can get a couple in right here,

1705
01:19:05,439 --> 01:19:07,200
Speaker 7: We can get a couple in. So I'll try to

1706
01:19:07,240 --> 01:19:10,040
Speaker 7: do this quick. So this one's a little different. We've

1707
01:19:10,080 --> 01:19:13,400
Speaker 7: never done this. Six or more goals scored in the

1708
01:19:13,560 --> 01:19:17,599
Speaker 7: entirety of the English Premier League today is minus two hundred.

1709
01:19:17,840 --> 01:19:21,880

Speaker 4: Happy New Year's to you. How many Lions fans. Do

1753
01:21:34,439 --> 01:21:37,600
Speaker 4: you think found their way deep into a casino or

1754
01:21:37,720 --> 01:21:42,360
Speaker 4: watering hole? Salty about the goings on of last night,

1755
01:21:43,040 --> 01:21:46,960
Speaker 4: thus beginning an unofficial celebration for the start of the

1756
01:21:46,960 --> 01:21:48,439
Speaker 4: new year. What do you think, Andy, I.

1757
01:21:48,479 --> 01:21:51,640
Speaker 1: Think they're still there? Really ever left? Hey, Well, if

1758
01:21:51,640 --> 01:21:53,639
Speaker 1: you're a bar owner in Detroit, you're a great shape.

1759
01:21:53,640 --> 01:21:56,439
Speaker 1: You really are either the celebrating because last night was

1760
01:21:56,439 --> 01:21:59,120
Speaker 1: a big night. Was the Pistons finally won? Yeahka?

1761
01:21:59,680 --> 01:22:02,519
Speaker 4: Well, you know, wing Stuff had a promotion that for

1762
01:22:02,640 --> 01:22:05,240
Speaker 4: twenty eight games they had nobody be able to cash

1763
01:22:05,280 --> 01:22:08,439
Speaker 4: in on in Detroit, so it was five wings for

1764
01:22:08,560 --> 01:22:11,720
Speaker 4: free if they won, which, as you know, the whole

1765
01:22:11,760 --> 01:22:13,880
Speaker 4: promotion is you come there because you're not just getting

1766
01:22:13,880 --> 01:22:14,679
Speaker 4: the five wings.

1767
01:22:15,040 --> 01:22:16,640
Speaker 1: That's a lot of sales.

1768
01:22:16,240 --> 01:22:19,479
Speaker 4: That don't happen, right, you know, three ninety nine soft

1769
01:22:19,560 --> 01:22:23,000
Speaker 4: drinks extra. Look, I bought wing Stuff. That's what my

1770
01:22:23,080 --> 01:22:25,680
Speaker 4: kid wanted yesterday. That ain't cheap. That's a lot of

1771
01:22:25,760 --> 01:22:28,080
Speaker 4: dollars of sales that they're gonna have to explain away

1772
01:22:28,240 --> 01:22:28,479
Speaker 4: for that.

1773
01:22:28,760 --> 01:22:31,559
Speaker 1: You to change the promo for every loss, not for

1774
01:22:31,600 --> 01:22:32,120
Speaker 1: every win.

1775
01:22:32,840 --> 01:22:36,599
Speaker 4: Yeah, making a lost leader like the rot chicken at

1776
01:22:36,640 --> 01:22:38,240
Speaker 4: a costco right.

1777
01:22:40,120 --> 01:22:41,920
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, that's a lot.

1778
01:22:42,280 --> 01:22:45,840
Speaker 3: I feel bad for the Lions fans, particularly the end,

1779
01:22:45,840 --> 01:22:51,680
Speaker 3: because it was just utter chaos, the emotional swings like

1780
01:22:51,800 --> 01:22:54,200
Speaker 3: coming back, Jerry Goff leading them down the field, just

1781
01:22:55,240 --> 01:22:57,439
Speaker 3: updink ding ding ding dink all the way down the field,

1782
01:22:57,439 --> 01:22:59,160
Speaker 3: where you're looking like, man, they're gonna go for to

1783
01:22:59,240 --> 01:23:00,120
Speaker 3: and win it.

1784
01:23:00,200 --> 01:23:03,240
Speaker 2: And then for them to utilize what I would call

1785
01:23:03,280 --> 01:23:07,360
Speaker 2: a very clever play right little tackle eligible. We've seen

1786
01:23:07,400 --> 01:23:08,240
Speaker 2: it a few different times.

1787
01:23:08,280 --> 01:23:10,800
Speaker 3: I remember Hugh Freeze and Old Miss running that in

1788
01:23:10,840 --> 01:23:12,400
Speaker 3: a bowl game before. I think they threw it to

1789
01:23:12,479 --> 01:23:16,400
Speaker 3: Laramie tunsl for either a two point conversion or touchdown.

1790
01:23:16,760 --> 01:23:16,920
Speaker 5: Uh.

1791
01:23:16,960 --> 01:23:19,240
Speaker 2: So it was cleverly done. Uh.

1792
01:23:19,280 --> 01:23:23,000
Speaker 3: And then you see the penalty and it appeared that

1793
01:23:23,080 --> 01:23:27,360
Speaker 3: my guy, the referee, Allen, was not interested in listening

1794
01:23:27,520 --> 01:23:30,520
Speaker 3: to what was being said, and he was very consumed

1795
01:23:30,520 --> 01:23:32,600
Speaker 3: with trying to get the Cowboys to information.

1796
01:23:33,280 --> 01:23:35,959
Speaker 2: And you know the fact that they tried to slyly

1797
01:23:36,439 --> 01:23:39,240
Speaker 2: sneak Taylor Decker over there. A you're gonna go report,

1798
01:23:39,280 --> 01:23:40,800
Speaker 2: but take put a sewal.

1799
01:23:40,560 --> 01:23:43,080
Speaker 1: Over there at him.

1800
01:23:43,640 --> 01:23:47,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's not obvious that you're reporting, and like,

1801
01:23:47,280 --> 01:23:49,400
Speaker 2: wipe your shirt a little bit, but don't do it

1802
01:23:49,560 --> 01:23:52,479
Speaker 2: like you you're Mikey and you got all the food

1803
01:23:52,520 --> 01:23:54,240
Speaker 2: all over your body, like.

1804
01:23:54,360 --> 01:23:57,599
Speaker 3: Just just a little subtle belly belly rub. And so

1805
01:23:57,640 --> 01:24:00,600
Speaker 3: he did those things because there's an angle where you

1806
01:24:00,600 --> 01:24:03,439
Speaker 3: can see him rub his belly, but he doesn't do

1807
01:24:03,680 --> 01:24:05,040
Speaker 3: like other guys.

1808
01:24:05,040 --> 01:24:08,519
Speaker 2: Do you see other guys? Fully it is because this

1809
01:24:08,600 --> 01:24:09,439
Speaker 2: look is deception.

1810
01:24:09,840 --> 01:24:12,240
Speaker 3: He is trying not to give it away, and so

1811
01:24:13,120 --> 01:24:14,719
Speaker 3: it's unfortunate because it's a great play.

1812
01:24:14,840 --> 01:24:17,920
Speaker 2: And then the fact that Dan Campbell said, uh, we're

1813
01:24:17,920 --> 01:24:20,759
Speaker 2: going for it no matter what if it takes three attempts,

1814
01:24:20,760 --> 01:24:25,120
Speaker 2: we're still going for two. We're not playing in overtime. Look, man,

1815
01:24:25,160 --> 01:24:25,960
Speaker 2: it works.

1816
01:24:26,000 --> 01:24:30,439
Speaker 1: You took as as bad as the cole was. They

1817
01:24:30,479 --> 01:24:32,680
Speaker 1: had it on the third to tenth. It was just

1818
01:24:32,720 --> 01:24:34,559
Speaker 1: a bad pass, but he should have caught it anyway

1819
01:24:34,640 --> 01:24:37,000
Speaker 1: he had it. They were in there three chances, and

1820
01:24:37,120 --> 01:24:39,400
Speaker 1: the third one they were in. However, if it was

1821
01:24:39,479 --> 01:24:41,640
Speaker 1: me after two, I said, you know what, I'll go

1822
01:24:41,760 --> 01:24:42,240
Speaker 1: for the extra.

1823
01:24:42,280 --> 01:24:45,280
Speaker 4: Well, and that's the larger point for me coming out

1824
01:24:45,320 --> 01:24:47,639
Speaker 4: of it is that, at least for the moment, it's

1825
01:24:47,640 --> 01:24:51,519
Speaker 4: gotten McCarthy and Dan quinn off the hook for terrible

1826
01:24:51,600 --> 01:24:56,160
Speaker 4: clock management, play calling, execution, and then whatever the hell

1827
01:24:56,240 --> 01:24:59,840
Speaker 4: that defense was that Quinn has been just thrown out there. Yeah,

1828
01:25:00,080 --> 01:25:03,799
Speaker 4: please take your fifteen yards at a time, please, laport

1829
01:25:03,920 --> 01:25:07,360
Speaker 4: is your best option. Oftentimes, Let's let him run free

1830
01:25:07,439 --> 01:25:09,600
Speaker 4: and clear like a kid through a flower field in

1831
01:25:09,680 --> 01:25:12,719
Speaker 4: the spring for an extra twenty yards at a time

1832
01:25:13,160 --> 01:25:15,720
Speaker 4: and give you the opportunity to come and take this

1833
01:25:15,760 --> 01:25:18,120
Speaker 4: from us. Look, you got a bit too cute when

1834
01:25:18,520 --> 01:25:21,439
Speaker 4: I think it just gets to the reporting thing and

1835
01:25:21,479 --> 01:25:23,559
Speaker 4: telling me, hey, we talked about it with this guy

1836
01:25:23,640 --> 01:25:26,600
Speaker 4: before the game. That doesn't matter. You still have to

1837
01:25:26,640 --> 01:25:27,720
Speaker 4: go ahead and cute it.

1838
01:25:27,840 --> 01:25:28,000
Speaker 8: Right.

1839
01:25:28,080 --> 01:25:30,360
Speaker 4: That's only one of the story.

1840
01:25:30,400 --> 01:25:32,439
Speaker 3: That is a big part of the story. But I

1841
01:25:32,439 --> 01:25:35,240
Speaker 3: think Dan Campbell is onto something. So what happens in

1842
01:25:35,320 --> 01:25:37,559
Speaker 3: these games. Right at the beginning of the game, the referee,

1843
01:25:37,880 --> 01:25:41,080
Speaker 3: the official meets with both head coaches, and at that

1844
01:25:41,200 --> 01:25:44,320
Speaker 3: point the head coach has an opportunity to say anything

1845
01:25:44,520 --> 01:25:47,880
Speaker 3: or any of those pregame grievances like hey, here's what

1846
01:25:47,920 --> 01:25:51,120
Speaker 3: I want you to know on tape number fifteen. As

1847
01:25:51,160 --> 01:25:52,960
Speaker 3: a holder, now he likes to grab a club, so

1848
01:25:53,000 --> 01:25:55,559
Speaker 3: please watch out for that. They'll ask you any trick

1849
01:25:55,600 --> 01:25:57,960
Speaker 3: plays or anything that we know about. And so that

1850
01:25:58,120 --> 01:25:59,720
Speaker 3: is the time when Dan Campbell say, look, we have

1851
01:25:59,760 --> 01:26:03,680
Speaker 3: a two point play, that's a tackle eligible play. My

1852
01:26:03,720 --> 01:26:06,120
Speaker 3: guy's gonna come in and report, and the refics would

1853
01:26:06,120 --> 01:26:07,800
Speaker 3: be like, okay, cool, we're on it. Thanks for letting

1854
01:26:07,840 --> 01:26:10,439
Speaker 3: us know this, and that so part of the reason

1855
01:26:10,439 --> 01:26:14,840
Speaker 3: why Campbell's reaction was that is because you're like, we

1856
01:26:15,120 --> 01:26:18,400
Speaker 3: told you what we're doing, and for you to mess

1857
01:26:18,479 --> 01:26:21,559
Speaker 3: this up, that's the issue. I've told Andy though, when

1858
01:26:21,600 --> 01:26:23,280
Speaker 3: you talked about why did they keep going for why

1859
01:26:23,280 --> 01:26:25,880
Speaker 3: didn't they go into overtime? To me, I felt like

1860
01:26:26,360 --> 01:26:28,000
Speaker 3: Campbell was like, look, I don't want to go into

1861
01:26:28,040 --> 01:26:30,680
Speaker 3: overtime and run the risk of losing guys. You know

1862
01:26:30,680 --> 01:26:33,639
Speaker 3: how you see guys in preseason the game is either

1863
01:26:33,760 --> 01:26:36,600
Speaker 3: it's closed where you could either kick the pat or

1864
01:26:36,640 --> 01:26:38,479
Speaker 3: go for two and we're gonna have a winner, but

1865
01:26:38,520 --> 01:26:41,320
Speaker 3: we're not going into overtime. I felt like Dan Campbell

1866
01:26:41,360 --> 01:26:42,799
Speaker 3: was like, look, I don't want to go into extra

1867
01:26:42,840 --> 01:26:46,160
Speaker 3: time with my guys, Like we win it, we lose it,

1868
01:26:46,160 --> 01:26:50,479
Speaker 3: it doesn't really change the postseason stuff for us. Let's

1869
01:26:50,479 --> 01:26:52,639
Speaker 3: get this over with. And I think he was committed

1870
01:26:52,640 --> 01:26:54,240
Speaker 3: to doing that. He didn't want to play the extra

1871
01:26:54,320 --> 01:26:54,840
Speaker 3: ten minutes.

1872
01:26:55,680 --> 01:26:57,920
Speaker 1: Well, you know what, you talk about changing the culture

1873
01:26:57,920 --> 01:26:59,920
Speaker 1: of a ball club, and look, to me, I think

1874
01:27:00,080 --> 01:27:02,840
Speaker 1: sometimes that term is overused, but the culture, to me

1875
01:27:03,680 --> 01:27:07,280
Speaker 1: is on display when he goes for it. Because years

1876
01:27:07,320 --> 01:27:10,280
Speaker 1: ago the Lions would crawl up and go into a cave.

1877
01:27:10,680 --> 01:27:13,200
Speaker 1: You know, this guy is aggressive and as sure as

1878
01:27:13,200 --> 01:27:15,120
Speaker 1: a fan is concerned, you got to be happy to

1879
01:27:15,240 --> 01:27:17,640
Speaker 1: doing this stuff. I mean, it's great, it really is.

1880
01:27:17,760 --> 01:27:19,519
Speaker 1: And as far as a fan watching the game with

1881
01:27:19,600 --> 01:27:22,200
Speaker 1: no rooting interest, what drama. You can't walk away from

1882
01:27:22,200 --> 01:27:24,519
Speaker 1: that game. So there was everything in play and you

1883
01:27:24,600 --> 01:27:26,800
Speaker 1: talk about the culture. It turned it around. You know,

1884
01:27:26,800 --> 01:27:29,559
Speaker 1: they're an aggressive team. You saw that during Hard Knocks

1885
01:27:29,720 --> 01:27:31,960
Speaker 1: when they were on TV. There's just the way this guy,

1886
01:27:32,040 --> 01:27:35,240
Speaker 1: Dan Campbell is. You know, he loves to win, but

1887
01:27:35,280 --> 01:27:37,599
Speaker 1: he hates to lose even more, and he was upset

1888
01:27:37,680 --> 01:27:40,800
Speaker 1: last night. And look, I'm not blaming the officials. There

1889
01:27:40,840 --> 01:27:43,440
Speaker 1: were a lot of things that happened in that ballgame

1890
01:27:43,600 --> 01:27:45,720
Speaker 1: that could have changed things, and one of them was

1891
01:27:46,080 --> 01:27:48,320
Speaker 1: they're going on a fourth and goal with the Cowboys

1892
01:27:48,400 --> 01:27:51,120
Speaker 1: seven yard line before that penalty, and they settled for

1893
01:27:51,160 --> 01:27:53,320
Speaker 1: that field goal. Made a thirteen to ten and had

1894
01:27:53,400 --> 01:27:55,920
Speaker 1: the fake punt in the first half. I mean, he's

1895
01:27:55,920 --> 01:27:58,120
Speaker 1: just an aggressive guy, so it's not a surprise. But

1896
01:27:58,200 --> 01:28:00,720
Speaker 1: I will say this, watching that game, you've got to

1897
01:28:00,760 --> 01:28:04,000
Speaker 1: love Jamir Gibbs. I mean, I love watching that guy play.

1898
01:28:04,080 --> 01:28:05,760
Speaker 1: I mean he's one of those guys I pay to.

1899
01:28:05,760 --> 01:28:08,320
Speaker 4: Watch play extra burst and does a lot of that

1900
01:28:08,400 --> 01:28:11,760
Speaker 4: Barry Sanders as you're watching it right where there's the

1901
01:28:11,840 --> 01:28:15,799
Speaker 4: negative four negative four line of scrimmage twenty five.

1902
01:28:16,040 --> 01:28:18,400
Speaker 1: Right right, I love watching him play.

1903
01:28:18,320 --> 01:28:19,920
Speaker 4: Looking like a shot out of a cannon.

1904
01:28:20,080 --> 01:28:22,160
Speaker 1: And he's underrated too. I think he deserves a little

1905
01:28:22,200 --> 01:28:22,719
Speaker 1: more praise.

1906
01:28:23,120 --> 01:28:25,960
Speaker 4: Well, you know, stay healthy, and unfortunately he's got the

1907
01:28:26,000 --> 01:28:29,640
Speaker 4: you know, the lightning thunder thing happening with David Montgomery

1908
01:28:29,840 --> 01:28:31,479
Speaker 4: take away a little bit including who.

1909
01:28:31,320 --> 01:28:33,240
Speaker 1: Played high school football in Cincinnatis.

1910
01:28:33,280 --> 01:28:34,840
Speaker 4: Hey there, you got to see it all comes back

1911
01:28:34,880 --> 01:28:37,479
Speaker 4: to you. Andy Furman is here on this New Year's Eve.

1912
01:28:38,000 --> 01:28:40,640
Speaker 4: But you know, with Dan Campbell, I mean not to

1913
01:28:40,800 --> 01:28:43,479
Speaker 4: belabor the point. Look, it's the overnight and we'll get

1914
01:28:43,479 --> 01:28:45,719
Speaker 4: into more of we got a full slate of games

1915
01:28:45,720 --> 01:28:48,200
Speaker 4: to go to. But you know, when you send that

1916
01:28:48,280 --> 01:28:52,000
Speaker 4: many people in the referees direction, especially this crew.

1917
01:28:52,600 --> 01:28:53,680
Speaker 1: Part of Dan Campbell's thing.

1918
01:28:53,680 --> 01:28:55,000
Speaker 4: I had to be look at all these screw ups

1919
01:28:55,000 --> 01:28:57,719
Speaker 4: you've got on the ear I don't want anything today,

1920
01:28:58,479 --> 01:29:01,000
Speaker 4: right because I mean, you've got the play for Green

1921
01:29:01,080 --> 01:29:05,320
Speaker 4: Bay and Kansas City. You had the penalty issue. You know,

1922
01:29:05,439 --> 01:29:08,080
Speaker 4: there's ten on one side, none on the other. Earlier

1923
01:29:08,240 --> 01:29:11,360
Speaker 4: this this year, they had they refereed a Bears game

1924
01:29:11,400 --> 01:29:13,759
Speaker 4: a couple of weeks ago where they totally looked away

1925
01:29:13,800 --> 01:29:17,639
Speaker 4: from what was an egregious, horrible late hit on Justin Fields.

1926
01:29:17,680 --> 01:29:20,639
Speaker 4: And that's not me, Bears fan, That's just football where

1927
01:29:20,640 --> 01:29:23,360
Speaker 4: you protect the quarterback at every turn, except that the

1928
01:29:23,680 --> 01:29:26,240
Speaker 4: guy who laid out the hit eventually got fined a

1929
01:29:26,280 --> 01:29:28,800
Speaker 4: ton of money for the hit that he laid on

1930
01:29:29,040 --> 01:29:31,080
Speaker 4: that would have extended a drive and given them a

1931
01:29:31,120 --> 01:29:34,760
Speaker 4: field goal opportunity, all of these things that you go through,

1932
01:29:34,840 --> 01:29:39,360
Speaker 4: and then to have this crew once again be inept

1933
01:29:39,880 --> 01:29:42,639
Speaker 4: and just over the top.

1934
01:29:42,840 --> 01:29:45,839
Speaker 1: Right, So what do we get an issue? A statement

1935
01:29:45,840 --> 01:29:46,360
Speaker 1: from the NFL.

1936
01:29:46,360 --> 01:29:48,600
Speaker 4: Of course we'll get we'll get the issue. Well, you

1937
01:29:48,640 --> 01:29:51,200
Speaker 4: know what, there's confusion and we need to clean up

1938
01:29:51,240 --> 01:29:53,320
Speaker 4: this rule because I thought it was early on guys

1939
01:29:53,840 --> 01:29:56,080
Speaker 4: with the Cede Lamb fumble. I'm like, all right, here

1940
01:29:56,120 --> 01:29:58,200
Speaker 4: we go. We're going to have a rule change because

1941
01:29:58,280 --> 01:30:02,120
Speaker 4: this happened in a prime time matchup with the Cowboys involved.

1942
01:30:02,120 --> 01:30:05,280
Speaker 4: When Ceedee Lamb fumbled at the one through the end zone.

1943
01:30:05,360 --> 01:30:07,760
Speaker 4: By the way, I have him in a Fantasy championship

1944
01:30:07,960 --> 01:30:11,040
Speaker 4: in a roster that was another six six point three

1945
01:30:11,080 --> 01:30:14,040
Speaker 4: points that would have looked good on Mikey's roster right there.

1946
01:30:14,800 --> 01:30:17,400
Speaker 4: But that's getting greedy because he did score forty guys.

1947
01:30:17,520 --> 01:30:20,040
Speaker 4: He did score forty for me. But it's the kind

1948
01:30:20,080 --> 01:30:22,040
Speaker 4: of thing that you know, that was what I thought

1949
01:30:22,120 --> 01:30:25,559
Speaker 4: was gonna go down, And the other was McCarthy left

1950
01:30:25,600 --> 01:30:27,880
Speaker 4: the game there for Campbell to take it, and I

1951
01:30:27,880 --> 01:30:30,200
Speaker 4: think part of the mentality was I'm not letting this

1952
01:30:30,240 --> 01:30:32,240
Speaker 4: guy off the hook because he gave us the opportunity

1953
01:30:32,240 --> 01:30:35,200
Speaker 4: to come and embarrass him in front of Jimmy Johnson,

1954
01:30:35,240 --> 01:30:38,080
Speaker 4: and I want that to be The overarching thing here

1955
01:30:38,200 --> 01:30:40,479
Speaker 4: is you got two coaches that really went out of

1956
01:30:40,520 --> 01:30:43,400
Speaker 4: their way to try to lose a game. You could

1957
01:30:43,479 --> 01:30:46,240
Speaker 4: argue obviously Campbell was really aggressive trying to win it,

1958
01:30:46,280 --> 01:30:48,840
Speaker 4: but in the end they take the l and McCarthy

1959
01:30:49,000 --> 01:30:51,559
Speaker 4: doing that on a night that they celebrate Jimmy Johnson

1960
01:30:51,560 --> 01:30:53,200
Speaker 4: and finally put him in the Ring of Honor. He's

1961
01:30:53,240 --> 01:30:55,479
Speaker 4: one of the greatest coaches of all time. Does the

1962
01:30:55,600 --> 01:30:58,720
Speaker 4: how about them Cowboys speech as like here, let's do

1963
01:30:58,800 --> 01:31:01,479
Speaker 4: what everything we can to get a game away as

1964
01:31:01,520 --> 01:31:03,960
Speaker 4: we celebrate Jimmy and his coachy acumen.

1965
01:31:04,960 --> 01:31:08,160
Speaker 1: I don't understand how Jimmy Johnson could be in Canton, Ohio.

1966
01:31:08,400 --> 01:31:10,120
Speaker 1: I'm not in the Ring of Honor in Dallas.

1967
01:31:10,520 --> 01:31:14,760
Speaker 4: Petty nonsense, credit, love and whatever else. He tried to

1968
01:31:14,760 --> 01:31:18,080
Speaker 4: squash it and wouldn't let Jerry respond when they asked

1969
01:31:18,120 --> 01:31:20,639
Speaker 4: about it yesterday, because you know people are gonna try

1970
01:31:20,640 --> 01:31:21,599
Speaker 4: to stir that pot.

1971
01:31:22,080 --> 01:31:22,479
Speaker 1: Why not.

1972
01:31:22,720 --> 01:31:25,519
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that's a good question. I mean that's

1973
01:31:25,560 --> 01:31:28,040
Speaker 3: what it was. I mean obviously, look, man, they were young.

1974
01:31:28,400 --> 01:31:31,519
Speaker 3: You have two people who had hefty egos at the time,

1975
01:31:31,960 --> 01:31:34,519
Speaker 3: Like everyone talks about like when they got into it.

1976
01:31:34,760 --> 01:31:36,759
Speaker 2: I think it was at the league meetings or whatever.

1977
01:31:36,840 --> 01:31:39,160
Speaker 3: And then Jimmy just bounce, I mean, and he bounced

1978
01:31:39,200 --> 01:31:41,960
Speaker 3: when you know, Troy Aikman and some of those guys

1979
01:31:41,960 --> 01:31:44,439
Speaker 3: had talked about like how many more Super Bowls were

1980
01:31:44,439 --> 01:31:47,040
Speaker 3: there for the win of Jimmy Johnson stays, like it's

1981
01:31:47,080 --> 01:31:49,840
Speaker 3: funny when they finally showed his name on the Ring

1982
01:31:49,920 --> 01:31:50,360
Speaker 3: of Honor.

1983
01:31:50,680 --> 01:31:52,559
Speaker 2: The fact that he was only in Dallas five years,

1984
01:31:52,560 --> 01:31:53,559
Speaker 2: to me is amazing.

1985
01:31:54,080 --> 01:31:57,000
Speaker 3: You know, like it seems like because the Cowboys are

1986
01:31:57,040 --> 01:31:59,360
Speaker 3: so big during the nineties, it seems like he was

1987
01:31:59,360 --> 01:32:01,519
Speaker 3: there for a long long time. And you think about

1988
01:32:01,800 --> 01:32:04,320
Speaker 3: one in fifteen playoffs, then they go, I.

1989
01:32:04,240 --> 01:32:06,240
Speaker 2: Mean, then they go to the Super Bowls. I mean

1990
01:32:06,280 --> 01:32:08,000
Speaker 2: that's basically what it was.

1991
01:32:08,040 --> 01:32:11,000
Speaker 3: And then Barry supposed to later won one two years

1992
01:32:11,080 --> 01:32:14,240
Speaker 3: later with that same team. I mean, you talk about

1993
01:32:14,280 --> 01:32:16,160
Speaker 3: lightning in a bottle, I mean, he got it and

1994
01:32:16,200 --> 01:32:19,160
Speaker 3: so on the Ring of Honor, you're right, But I

1995
01:32:19,200 --> 01:32:21,040
Speaker 3: want to really talk because everyone is gonna blame Mike

1996
01:32:21,120 --> 01:32:24,800
Speaker 3: McCarthy for the coaching decision, like throwing on second down.

1997
01:32:25,520 --> 01:32:27,840
Speaker 3: Here's the thing that I'll take off of him and

1998
01:32:27,880 --> 01:32:30,280
Speaker 3: I'll put it more on the quarterback. The reason why

1999
01:32:30,360 --> 01:32:34,000
Speaker 3: you call a pass is because you have unbelievable confidence

2000
01:32:34,040 --> 01:32:36,479
Speaker 3: that the quarterback is going to make you right. On

2001
01:32:36,520 --> 01:32:40,240
Speaker 3: that second down, Dak Prescott throws it off the dance floor,

2002
01:32:40,680 --> 01:32:44,719
Speaker 3: you know, like it's second down. There's an underneath player

2003
01:32:44,880 --> 01:32:47,360
Speaker 3: available because you're saying, hey, Dak.

2004
01:32:47,479 --> 01:32:48,160
Speaker 2: Here's the deal.

2005
01:32:48,439 --> 01:32:50,120
Speaker 3: They don't have any time out, so we got to

2006
01:32:50,200 --> 01:32:52,160
Speaker 3: keep the clock moving. So if you don't like, you

2007
01:32:52,200 --> 01:32:54,320
Speaker 3: got to throw the check down, but we got to

2008
01:32:54,400 --> 01:32:56,280
Speaker 3: keep the clock moving. I want to put it in

2009
01:32:56,320 --> 01:33:00,000
Speaker 3: your hands, because what McCarthy's really saying, our best offense,

2010
01:33:00,120 --> 01:33:03,120
Speaker 3: the player is Dak Prescott. So I'm gonna give it

2011
01:33:03,120 --> 01:33:06,120
Speaker 3: to my best player and let him make the determination

2012
01:33:06,200 --> 01:33:09,000
Speaker 3: whether we win or lose. But he doesn't expect him

2013
01:33:09,000 --> 01:33:12,280
Speaker 3: to throw a low percentage fade out of bounds or

2014
01:33:12,400 --> 01:33:15,519
Speaker 3: second down. He'll never throw Dak under the bus. But

2015
01:33:15,680 --> 01:33:18,160
Speaker 3: Dak Prescott should be the one getting to blame, not

2016
01:33:18,439 --> 01:33:19,639
Speaker 3: Mike McCarthy on that.

2017
01:33:20,280 --> 01:33:20,479
Speaker 2: Yeah.

2018
01:33:20,560 --> 01:33:24,040
Speaker 4: See, history is not Mike McCarthy's friends. As I tweeted

2019
01:33:24,120 --> 01:33:27,599
Speaker 4: out last night about Clark, I said, Mike McCarthy versus

2020
01:33:27,640 --> 01:33:30,400
Speaker 4: clock management, here we go. And that was before that

2021
01:33:30,479 --> 01:33:34,760
Speaker 4: sequence even went down. And certainly Daku had had his

2022
01:33:34,800 --> 01:33:36,400
Speaker 4: hand in. I mean, he could have tucked the ball

2023
01:33:36,439 --> 01:33:39,080
Speaker 4: and run, could have checked out. And you know, even

2024
01:33:39,120 --> 01:33:42,880
Speaker 4: though your ground game between Pollard and Deucee Vaughan isn't

2025
01:33:42,920 --> 01:33:45,840
Speaker 4: terribly effective, they know they take care of them.

2026
01:33:47,880 --> 01:33:50,240
Speaker 3: They do and so that's the thing because I heard

2027
01:33:50,240 --> 01:33:53,639
Speaker 3: you grumble when you talked about Jamar Gibbs fleeting carriers

2028
01:33:53,640 --> 01:33:56,519
Speaker 3: with David Montgomery and like those things like, oh, but

2029
01:33:56,600 --> 01:33:59,720
Speaker 3: if you would get more Tony Pollard is the really

2030
01:33:59,800 --> 01:34:04,680
Speaker 3: the test case why sometimes guys in those those complimentary

2031
01:34:04,760 --> 01:34:07,920
Speaker 3: roles are not meant to be in the lead role

2032
01:34:08,120 --> 01:34:10,320
Speaker 3: because he's gotten worse, he's gotten more.

2033
01:34:11,880 --> 01:34:15,880
Speaker 2: Ezekiel Elliott. Yeah, like without Ezekiel Elliott. And to the

2034
01:34:15,920 --> 01:34:18,519
Speaker 2: point I finally heard someone say, like, man, they kind

2035
01:34:18,520 --> 01:34:21,840
Speaker 2: of miss Ezekiel Ellett. You think even though he couldn't run,

2036
01:34:21,880 --> 01:34:24,320
Speaker 2: it wasn't fast yet, but he was the bruiser. He

2037
01:34:24,439 --> 01:34:26,679
Speaker 2: was the bruiser. He was like the little chubby guys.

2038
01:34:27,080 --> 01:34:29,080
Speaker 2: I can't believe. Just do there. He set it up

2039
01:34:29,120 --> 01:34:30,799
Speaker 2: so Tonny poll could have a lot of success.

2040
01:34:30,880 --> 01:34:33,160
Speaker 1: You know, this Jimmy Johnson thing just brings up another

2041
01:34:33,240 --> 01:34:35,120
Speaker 1: idea in my mind. I gotta share with you.

2042
01:34:35,200 --> 01:34:35,800
Speaker 2: Bring him back.

2043
01:34:35,920 --> 01:34:39,640
Speaker 1: Okay, Bob Huggins, who was in the National Basketball Hall

2044
01:34:39,680 --> 01:34:42,439
Speaker 1: of Fame in Springfield, Massachusetts. He's not in the University

2045
01:34:42,439 --> 01:34:44,760
Speaker 1: of Cincinnati Hall of Fame, which Booster hates.

2046
01:34:44,880 --> 01:34:47,840
Speaker 4: May you know that that's basically good guy, what do

2047
01:34:47,880 --> 01:34:48,240
Speaker 4: you got.

2048
01:34:49,080 --> 01:34:51,080
Speaker 1: I don't know how you could be in the Canton,

2049
01:34:51,080 --> 01:34:53,160
Speaker 1: Ohio Football Hall of Fame. I'm not in the Ring

2050
01:34:53,160 --> 01:34:55,960
Speaker 1: of Honor in the city you worked at, and Bob

2051
01:34:56,040 --> 01:34:58,880
Speaker 1: Huggins in the National Basketball Hall of Fame and the

2052
01:34:58,920 --> 01:35:01,760
Speaker 1: school he worked at, the get there, the university's just tonight.

2053
01:35:01,880 --> 01:35:03,680
Speaker 1: He's not in the Hall of Fame. It doesn't make

2054
01:35:03,720 --> 01:35:05,080
Speaker 1: any sense to me. It really doesn't.

2055
01:35:05,120 --> 01:35:06,800
Speaker 4: I would say this though, you know, it was great

2056
01:35:06,840 --> 01:35:10,840
Speaker 4: to see that celebration. Obviously a fantastic speech. I can

2057
01:35:10,880 --> 01:35:14,040
Speaker 4: only hope when I'm thirty years my senior, which is

2058
01:35:14,120 --> 01:35:17,000
Speaker 4: about the age gap between me and Jimmy Johnson, that

2059
01:35:17,080 --> 01:35:20,840
Speaker 4: I'm able to run around and have that much energy. Yeah,

2060
01:35:20,880 --> 01:35:24,800
Speaker 4: I mean it's amazing. Obviously, you know, broadcasting Hall of

2061
01:35:24,840 --> 01:35:28,360
Speaker 4: Fame squad, his Fox NFL Sunday crew was there, our

2062
01:35:28,360 --> 01:35:32,680
Speaker 4: guy Glazer and Strahan and everybody, and then just the

2063
01:35:32,840 --> 01:35:35,760
Speaker 4: reaction and I took the screenshot of it because it

2064
01:35:35,840 --> 01:35:38,040
Speaker 4: is really one of the best images when he did

2065
01:35:38,080 --> 01:35:40,439
Speaker 4: the how about them Cowboys and you got Hun and

2066
01:35:40,560 --> 01:35:44,599
Speaker 4: Emmett hugging him and that smile. My god, guys, can

2067
01:35:44,640 --> 01:35:48,040
Speaker 4: we all hope men, women, wherever you are, however you're listening,

2068
01:35:48,040 --> 01:35:50,640
Speaker 4: we appreciate you being part of the family. Hopefully you

2069
01:35:50,720 --> 01:35:53,720
Speaker 4: have at least one of those moments today and every

2070
01:35:53,800 --> 01:35:56,000
Speaker 4: day for the rest of your life, because that was

2071
01:35:56,160 --> 01:35:59,360
Speaker 4: it right there, that moment of joy, that moment of

2072
01:35:59,400 --> 01:36:03,080
Speaker 4: exultation and togetherists, man, we can all just aspire to

2073
01:36:03,120 --> 01:36:03,720
Speaker 4: that kind of thing.

2074
01:36:04,160 --> 01:36:04,599
Speaker 1: Mm hmm.

2075
01:36:05,320 --> 01:36:08,280
Speaker 2: And it was great. It was great, It was great.

2076
01:36:08,280 --> 01:36:10,920
Speaker 3: It was great to see maybe, you know, Mike, maybe

2077
01:36:10,960 --> 01:36:13,880
Speaker 3: one day and you know, thirty years, maybe they'll come

2078
01:36:13,920 --> 01:36:16,320
Speaker 3: back and they'll be putting Mett Eberfluss's thing up in

2079
01:36:16,800 --> 01:36:20,479
Speaker 3: soldiers iteration. That will be and you have to talk

2080
01:36:20,600 --> 01:36:23,720
Speaker 3: a chance to listen to him rattle off all the

2081
01:36:23,800 --> 01:36:26,639
Speaker 3: nicknames for all the guys for these historic teams over

2082
01:36:26,680 --> 01:36:29,479
Speaker 3: the next couple of years that you know what I'm saying,

2083
01:36:29,479 --> 01:36:31,599
Speaker 3: they're celebrating and all of that, and maybe he can

2084
01:36:31,840 --> 01:36:34,040
Speaker 3: kind of take you with the Bears and you guys

2085
01:36:34,040 --> 01:36:34,759

Speaker 4: Really well, we'll get into that because that's one of

2089
01:36:40,880 --> 01:36:44,080
Speaker 4: the storylines, you know, one of the running jokes on

01:36:44,200 --> 01:36:45,880
Speaker 4: the show. I do with Jason smith Is. He's a

Speaker 1: And so even if you're failure.

2107
01:37:18,920 --> 01:37:20,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh no, no, we're getting all of this.

2108
01:37:20,880 --> 01:37:24,040
Speaker 3: They let David Shula in Cincinnati like darting to play

2109
01:37:24,080 --> 01:37:25,559
Speaker 3: out all of the terms of the deal.

2110
01:37:26,040 --> 01:37:27,920
Speaker 2: No, that's that's that's part of it now.

2111
01:37:27,920 --> 01:37:29,880
Speaker 3: So yeah, you were right, Mike when you said that

2112
01:37:29,960 --> 01:37:31,160
Speaker 3: eber Fluis was coming back.

2113
01:37:31,160 --> 01:37:34,120
Speaker 2: And everyone's like, oh no, he's got to go now

2114
01:37:34,280 --> 01:37:35,759
Speaker 2: he's writing that chick. He's gonna work.

2115
01:37:36,240 --> 01:37:39,519
Speaker 4: Well, And then they went and looking Poles and Kevin

2116
01:37:39,600 --> 01:37:42,080
Speaker 4: Warren and the company made a couple of moves that

2117
01:37:42,520 --> 01:37:46,559
Speaker 4: all of a sudden, the defense, led by eber Flues

2118

Speaker 4: why he's working out?

2122
01:37:55,800 --> 01:37:57,640

2148
01:39:23,920 --> 01:39:26,880

Speaker 4: whole and where college sports is going that's been brewing

2150

Speaker 4: team that was mad it was left out of the

2152
01:39:34,600 --> 01:39:39,280
Speaker 4: playoffs doesn't change any of that. It was a conversation

2153
01:39:39,760 --> 01:39:42,160
Speaker 4: that you already needed to have. But I was watching

2154
01:39:42,240 --> 01:39:45,640
Speaker 4: my timeline and it took everything not to start responding.

2155
01:39:46,360 --> 01:39:49,320
Speaker 4: And I don't like calling people idiots. But the idiots

2156
01:39:49,640 --> 01:39:52,160
Speaker 4: they are. But the idiocy of the arguments was really

2157
01:39:52,240 --> 01:39:52,680
Speaker 4: getting to me.

2158
01:39:52,760 --> 01:39:55,320
Speaker 1: Andy. But here's the thing. It could be easily changed.

2159
01:39:55,479 --> 01:39:57,720
Speaker 1: Just do not let the portal get started to left

2160
01:39:57,720 --> 01:40:00,040
Speaker 1: of the bowl games. That's all you gotta do. I

2161
01:40:00,080 --> 01:40:01,920
Speaker 1: don't get it. Why why would you let a player

2162
01:40:02,400 --> 01:40:05,200
Speaker 1: go into the portal prior to the Bowl games? I mean,

2163
01:40:05,360 --> 01:40:08,120
Speaker 1: that's what it's all about. They earned the Bowl game

2164
01:40:08,360 --> 01:40:11,519
Speaker 1: right by having those players with them. I had to

2165
01:40:11,560 --> 01:40:13,720
Speaker 1: have them not play or opt out. It's bad enough

2166
01:40:13,760 --> 01:40:15,719
Speaker 1: most of the players aren't playing anyway because they're fearful

2167
01:40:15,840 --> 01:40:17,920
Speaker 1: of getting hurt for the NFL Draft. But they have

2168
01:40:18,040 --> 01:40:20,840
Speaker 1: the portal in operation as well. Not good. Not a

2169
01:40:20,920 --> 01:40:21,360
Speaker 1: good deal.

2170
01:40:23,160 --> 01:40:25,360
Speaker 2: No, look it's a different deal. But I don't know

2171
01:40:25,360 --> 01:40:27,719
Speaker 2: if you can incentivize anybody to playing those Bowl games

2172
01:40:27,800 --> 01:40:29,920
Speaker 2: when there's not a lot on the line. The only

2173
01:40:30,040 --> 01:40:32,760
Speaker 2: way typically that you're gonna get people to play it

2174
01:40:32,760 --> 01:40:34,360
Speaker 2: would have to be something meaningful.

2175
01:40:34,520 --> 01:40:38,960
Speaker 4: And the end season tournament five grand or even Lebron

2176
01:40:39,120 --> 01:40:40,680
Speaker 4: James is jacked up about it.

2177
01:40:40,880 --> 01:40:43,040
Speaker 1: Oh, they make him more in the NIL Come.

2178
01:40:42,880 --> 01:40:47,080
Speaker 3: On, No, Like, I think we have to get past

2179
01:40:47,560 --> 01:40:51,680
Speaker 3: like our nostalgia in terms of like how we used

2180
01:40:51,720 --> 01:40:53,760
Speaker 3: to wax poetic about bowl games and how it used

2181
01:40:53,760 --> 01:40:54,000
Speaker 3: to mean.

2182
01:40:54,040 --> 01:40:56,240
Speaker 2: I don't think it ever meant what it used to be.

2183
01:40:56,840 --> 01:40:59,160
Speaker 1: Will next year when twelve teams get into the tournament?

2184
01:41:00,080 --> 01:41:02,960
Speaker 3: Rest for those twelve Yeah, those twelve teams, it'd be

2185
01:41:03,000 --> 01:41:06,400
Speaker 3: hard to get everybody else like lined up. And you know,

2186
01:41:06,560 --> 01:41:09,240
Speaker 3: Kirby Smart in this postgame comments talked about it like, look,

2187
01:41:09,280 --> 01:41:11,519
Speaker 3: it's not dope guy's fault, Like we're we need.

2188
01:41:11,479 --> 01:41:13,400
Speaker 2: To figure out what we want to be. Uh.

2189
01:41:13,479 --> 01:41:15,200
Speaker 3: In terms of college football, if they're gonna do to

2190
01:41:15,280 --> 01:41:17,400
Speaker 3: twelve team tournament, are they gonna have a I mean

2191
01:41:17,439 --> 01:41:19,840
Speaker 3: the n C DOUAA has the n I t as

2192
01:41:19,880 --> 01:41:22,360
Speaker 3: their sister tournament. Is there going to be something else

2193
01:41:22,479 --> 01:41:24,800
Speaker 3: for the teams that are not there to get participation?

2194
01:41:25,320 --> 01:41:28,760
Speaker 3: Because just going to the Pop Tart Bowl is not

2195
01:41:28,840 --> 01:41:32,000
Speaker 3: gonna be enough incentive for me to play with the

2196
01:41:32,080 --> 01:41:34,200
Speaker 3: bag of swag and free pop tarts for life.

2197
01:41:34,240 --> 01:41:36,280
Speaker 4: Well, tell me you didn't watch that pop Tart come

2198
01:41:36,400 --> 01:41:39,360
Speaker 4: up off that stage like it was Steve Aoki, or

2199
01:41:40,680 --> 01:41:45,880
Speaker 4: tell me you didn't love that. I mean, the ratings

2200
01:41:45,920 --> 01:41:47,519
Speaker 4: for that were big, and it's really what it comes

2201
01:41:47,560 --> 01:41:49,880
Speaker 4: down to, though, fellas are people still going to tune in?

2202
01:41:50,320 --> 01:41:53,560
Speaker 4: Because as long as the televisions are turning tuned to

2203
01:41:53,720 --> 01:41:56,800
Speaker 4: those Bowl games and the dollars flow in that way,

2204
01:41:57,120 --> 01:41:59,519
Speaker 4: everybody's on board. By the way, you're not taking away

2205
01:41:59,560 --> 01:42:03,120
Speaker 4: that fourteen to seven Las Vegas Bowl victory from me.

2206
01:42:03,280 --> 01:42:05,320
Speaker 4: You will not do it, Bucky Brooks. You will not

2207
01:42:05,479 --> 01:42:09,200
Speaker 4: be smirch the greatness. I can't even say it with

2208
01:42:09,280 --> 01:42:11,320

Speaker 4: We'll talk about one of them coming up in a minute,

2215
01:42:28,600 --> 01:42:31,040
Speaker 4: but first it's Kevin Wyatt with an update of everything

2216
01:42:31,200 --> 01:42:34,200
Speaker 4: going on with those injury reports this morning for week seventeen.

2217
01:42:34,240 --> 01:42:36,160
Speaker 4: What's up, Kevin. Yeah, we're about four and a half

2218
01:42:36,400 --> 01:42:39,120
Speaker 4: hours away from kicking off the second to last Hard

2219
01:42:39,160 --> 01:42:41,920
Speaker 4: to believe we're already at this point right second to last.

2220
01:42:42,240 --> 01:42:42,639
Speaker 1: It sick.

2221
01:42:43,000 --> 01:42:45,680
Speaker 4: Celebrate those last thirty of them people. What's all we

2222
01:42:45,800 --> 01:42:49,880
Speaker 4: got left? We got some updates. Actually, Adam Schefter about

2223
01:42:49,920 --> 01:42:52,240
Speaker 4: ten minutes ago coming out with an update saying Dolphins

2224
01:42:52,360 --> 01:42:55,200
Speaker 4: running back Raheem Moster will not play today due to

2225
01:42:55,320 --> 01:42:59,360
Speaker 4: his knee and ankle injuries. Yeah, that was out early

2226
01:42:59,600 --> 01:43:02,320
Speaker 4: note of lotions and then this is just doubled down

2227
01:43:02,400 --> 01:43:05,160
Speaker 4: to confirm it. Yeah, it's crazy. Watch deadline move and

2228
01:43:05,280 --> 01:43:09,080
Speaker 4: Waddle's already out, so big moves here. Tuo will play,

2229
01:43:09,120 --> 01:43:12,040
Speaker 4: according to Mike McDaniel. Bud Yeah, otherwise, some missing pieces

2230
01:43:12,120 --> 01:43:15,120
Speaker 4: for the Dolphins. Moster apparently couldn't turn the corner this

2231
01:43:15,240 --> 01:43:17,200
Speaker 4: week as fast as he usually does, and the Dolphins

2232
01:43:17,360 --> 01:43:19,879
Speaker 4: they didn't want to put him out there today, especially

2233
01:43:20,080 --> 01:43:23,760
Speaker 4: with their postseason aspiration, so they're having him take it easy.

2234
01:43:23,800 --> 01:43:27,519
Speaker 4: Adam Schefter with another update saying Jamar Chase gonna test

2235
01:43:27,600 --> 01:43:30,960
Speaker 4: out his injured shoulder pre game and see if he

2236
01:43:31,040 --> 01:43:33,040
Speaker 4: can go, but there is optimism that he will be

2237
01:43:33,120 --> 01:43:36,599
Speaker 4: able to play today against the Kansas City chiefs. Ian

2238
01:43:36,760 --> 01:43:40,160
Speaker 4: Rappaport with some updates. Alvin Kamara he had an illness,

2239
01:43:40,240 --> 01:43:43,120
Speaker 4: but he set to play today the Seahawks. They've got

2240
01:43:43,160 --> 01:43:45,759
Speaker 4: a crucial game against the Steelers, because if the Rams

2241
01:43:46,280 --> 01:43:49,000
Speaker 4: beat the Giants and the Seahawks loose to the Steelers,

2242
01:43:49,120 --> 01:43:53,320
Speaker 4: then that's trouble for Seattle right there. As Kenneth Walker

2243
01:43:53,439 --> 01:43:56,680
Speaker 4: DK Metcalf both listed as questionable, but they are in

2244
01:43:56,760 --> 01:44:00,479
Speaker 4: a good place to play today. Vikings wide receiver Jordan

2245
01:44:00,600 --> 01:44:04,080
Speaker 4: Addison listened as questionable. He will play today. Rams wide

2246
01:44:04,120 --> 01:44:06,920
Speaker 4: receiver Puka Nakua he's got a hip injury but is

2247
01:44:06,960 --> 01:44:10,120
Speaker 4: expected to be on the field. Michael Pittman Junior exiting

2248
01:44:10,200 --> 01:44:13,639
Speaker 4: concussion protocol so he's feeling much better. He should play

2249
01:44:13,680 --> 01:44:17,920
Speaker 4: today for the Colts. Broncos wide receiver Jerry Judy he's

2250
01:44:17,960 --> 01:44:19,800
Speaker 4: been dealing with an illness as well, but he is

2251
01:44:19,880 --> 01:44:23,880
Speaker 4: expected to play. However, Marvin Mims Junior, he's dealing with

2252
01:44:23,960 --> 01:44:27,679
Speaker 4: a hamstring injury. He's not expected to play. And Bears

2253
01:44:27,680 --> 01:44:30,639
Speaker 4: tight en Cole come Met he is listed as questionable.

2254
01:44:30,680 --> 01:44:33,840
Speaker 4: He only practiced on Friday, but they do expect him

2255
01:44:33,880 --> 01:44:36,880
Speaker 4: to play today against the Atlanta Falcons and Kyler Murray

2256
01:44:37,600 --> 01:44:40,280
Speaker 4: he had an illness too, so something going around there,

2257
01:44:40,360 --> 01:44:45,599
Speaker 4: but expected to play today for Arizona. As for last night, Man,

2258
01:44:46,000 --> 01:44:48,880
Speaker 4: what more of a controversial ending can you get? The

2259
01:44:48,960 --> 01:44:52,400
Speaker 4: Cowboys end up beating the Lions twenty to nineteen after

2260
01:44:52,600 --> 01:44:56,679
Speaker 4: Detroit didn't complete a two point conversion at the end. However,

2261
01:44:57,439 --> 01:44:59,479
Speaker 4: it appears that the Lions actually did go up by

2262
01:44:59,520 --> 01:45:02,160
Speaker 4: one with two twenty three seconds ago. Monrod Saint Brown

2263
01:45:02,560 --> 01:45:05,200
Speaker 4: scored a diving touchdown to get it to within one,

2264
01:45:05,240 --> 01:45:07,240
Speaker 4: and instead of kicking the extra point for the tie,

2265
01:45:08,040 --> 01:45:10,599
Speaker 4: Dan Campbell decided to go for two and the win,

2266
01:45:10,760 --> 01:45:13,439
Speaker 4: and it appeared that Jared Goff completed it pass to

2267
01:45:13,520 --> 01:45:17,760
Speaker 4: tackle Taylor Decker in the end zone, but referee Brad

2268
01:45:17,800 --> 01:45:21,439
Speaker 4: Allen claimed Decker did not report as eligible. Allen had

2269
01:45:21,479 --> 01:45:25,120
Speaker 4: thought it was actually his teammate lineman Dan Skipper, number seventy,

2270
01:45:25,200 --> 01:45:28,080
Speaker 4: so that's what he announced to the crowd, But Decker

2271
01:45:28,160 --> 01:45:30,000
Speaker 4: was number sixty eight, so when he caught the ball,

2272
01:45:30,680 --> 01:45:32,760
Speaker 4: he was called for illegal touching, so that march the

2273
01:45:32,840 --> 01:45:35,680
Speaker 4: lines back five yards. They would go for two a

2274
01:45:35,880 --> 01:45:38,720
Speaker 4: second time, and it appeared that Jared Goff threw an

2275
01:45:38,720 --> 01:45:41,559
Speaker 4: interception on it, but the Cowboys called for off sides.

2276
01:45:41,560 --> 01:45:44,400
Speaker 4: They would have a third chance to go for two,

2277
01:45:44,520 --> 01:45:46,599
Speaker 4: and at that point I'm wondering why Dan Campbell didn't

2278
01:45:46,600 --> 01:45:49,080
Speaker 4: just kick the extra point. In force overtime. I mean,

2279
01:45:49,120 --> 01:45:51,760
Speaker 4: how many more chances can you get? There? But for

2280
01:45:51,880 --> 01:45:53,679
Speaker 4: the third time. They thought third time was a charm

2281
01:45:53,760 --> 01:45:56,080
Speaker 4: and ended up not being the case, as Jared Goff's

2282
01:45:56,120 --> 01:45:59,240
Speaker 4: pass would fall incomplete short of the goal line and

2283
01:45:59,280 --> 01:46:04,000
Speaker 4: the Cowboys escape with the victory. So this week getting

2284
01:46:04,040 --> 01:46:06,599
Speaker 4: started off on a crazy note. Back to you, guys,

2285
01:46:06,880 --> 01:46:10,240
Speaker 4: chaos ensues, we get a big Cleveland Browns victory. Chase

2286
01:46:10,320 --> 01:46:13,920
Speaker 4: still celebrating that chaos last night. Thanks Kevin. That's Kevin

2287
01:46:13,960 --> 01:46:17,200
Speaker 4: Wyrett on the updates. Shay and Mark making a sound

2288
01:46:17,240 --> 01:46:20,360
Speaker 4: so pretty. This morning, it's Fox Football Sunday. Here Fox

2289
01:46:20,400 --> 01:46:22,760
Speaker 4: Sports Radio live from the tirerack dot Com studios on

2290
01:46:22,880 --> 01:46:26,400
Speaker 4: Mike Harmon alongside my guys, Andy Furman, Bucky Brooks. Guys,

2291
01:46:26,439 --> 01:46:28,920
Speaker 4: we got five games to whip around. Let's start with

2292
01:46:29,040 --> 01:46:33,160
Speaker 4: the first. Chargers Aid Broncos Yay, here we go Chargers.

2293
01:46:33,439 --> 01:46:36,599
Speaker 4: They were game dicker the kicker with five field goals

2294
01:46:36,680 --> 01:46:39,559
Speaker 4: last week in the narrow loss to Buffalo Denver three

2295
01:46:39,600 --> 01:46:42,320
Speaker 4: point favorites thirty six and a half. No Courtland Sutton

2296
01:46:42,439 --> 01:46:45,479
Speaker 4: for this one. Judy's banged up, but it's really about

2297
01:46:45,520 --> 01:46:49,080
Speaker 4: the quarterback position and Jared Stidham. I'd been saying all

2298
01:46:49,200 --> 01:46:51,519
Speaker 4: year that don't believe just the stat and the box

2299
01:46:51,560 --> 01:46:55,160
Speaker 4: score for Russell Wilson. Hey wait, everybody finally came along

2300
01:46:55,240 --> 01:46:57,879
Speaker 4: to my side of thinking, as well as the giant

2301
01:46:58,120 --> 01:47:01,519
Speaker 4: contract hanging around the next of the Broncos, Sean Payton

2302
01:47:01,840 --> 01:47:04,960
Speaker 4: making the decision saying, hey, it's just about football. Stop

2303
01:47:05,080 --> 01:47:08,400
Speaker 4: lying your nose is growing, Bucky Chaos in Denver.

2304
01:47:10,479 --> 01:47:14,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, so, just so much chaos when it comes to it.

2305
01:47:14,120 --> 01:47:17,360
Speaker 3: And look, and I don't think the chaos comes from,

2306
01:47:18,200 --> 01:47:21,240
Speaker 3: you know, like Sean Payton trying to move on from

2307
01:47:21,280 --> 01:47:23,840
Speaker 3: Russell Wilson or anything like that. I think it just

2308
01:47:23,920 --> 01:47:27,360
Speaker 3: came on from when you put everything in totality, right,

2309
01:47:27,479 --> 01:47:31,080
Speaker 3: the stuff leaking out about them approaching Russell during the

2310
01:47:31,160 --> 01:47:35,840
Speaker 3: bye week about reducing or eliminating the injury guarantees for

2311
01:47:36,000 --> 01:47:38,200
Speaker 3: next season, which would have saved them an additional thirty

2312
01:47:38,280 --> 01:47:42,280
Speaker 3: nine million dollars, them using that as a threat to like, hey,

2313
01:47:42,320 --> 01:47:44,000
Speaker 3: if you don't remove it, we're going to bench you.

2314
01:47:44,400 --> 01:47:46,960
Speaker 3: Him having to continue to play with that kind of

2315
01:47:47,000 --> 01:47:49,400
Speaker 3: hanging over the head. They go on a bit of

2316
01:47:49,479 --> 01:47:52,760
Speaker 3: a run and then when it finally dawns on the

2317
01:47:52,800 --> 01:47:55,680
Speaker 3: team that yeah, we can't win all, we're gonna sit

2318
01:47:55,760 --> 01:47:57,880
Speaker 3: you down, and the way that Sean Payton did it,

2319
01:47:58,200 --> 01:48:01,280
Speaker 3: I think it's not more so the business part of it,

2320
01:48:01,800 --> 01:48:05,759
Speaker 3: just more more of thinking back to how Sean Payton

2321
01:48:05,880 --> 01:48:10,000
Speaker 3: undressed Russell Wilson on that game against the Detroit Lions,

2322
01:48:10,000 --> 01:48:13,839
Speaker 3: where it felt uncomfortable to watch him talk to Russell

2323
01:48:13,840 --> 01:48:16,280
Speaker 3: Wilson like that, where for me, I've never.

2324
01:48:16,200 --> 01:48:18,720
Speaker 2: Seen him undress Drew Brees like that. I know Drew

2325
01:48:18,720 --> 01:48:22,040
Speaker 2: Brees has made mistakes. I know Drew Brees's has turned

2326
01:48:22,080 --> 01:48:22,639
Speaker 2: the ball over.

2327
01:48:23,040 --> 01:48:26,400
Speaker 3: So man, like, what's so personal about it with you

2328
01:48:26,520 --> 01:48:30,200
Speaker 3: and Russell compared to how you have handled other quarterbacks.

2329
01:48:30,200 --> 01:48:32,160
Speaker 3: So I think it's it's more so that part of

2330
01:48:32,280 --> 01:48:35,960
Speaker 3: it than anything else. People like most players and most

2331
01:48:36,000 --> 01:48:37,439
Speaker 3: of the people that have kind of come out and

2332
01:48:37,479 --> 01:48:40,599
Speaker 3: support of Russell, everyone can understand like, hey man, if

2333
01:48:40,640 --> 01:48:42,120
Speaker 3: he's not good enough or you want to sit him

2334
01:48:42,120 --> 01:48:45,200
Speaker 3: down or whatever. I just feel like the totality of

2335
01:48:45,320 --> 01:48:47,560
Speaker 3: all those events that led up to it, to me,

2336
01:48:47,680 --> 01:48:49,240
Speaker 3: seemed like it was a little extra.

2337
01:48:49,760 --> 01:48:51,360
Speaker 1: Well, I'll tell you what I'm taking the other approach,

2338
01:48:51,520 --> 01:48:54,320
Speaker 1: I'm a Sean Payton guy. Sean Payton's wont with everybody,

2339
01:48:54,520 --> 01:48:56,360
Speaker 1: and he could just he could have won with Russell.

2340
01:48:56,479 --> 01:48:58,840
Speaker 1: But I think it's Russell Wilson. Here's my problem. If

2341
01:48:58,880 --> 01:49:00,720
Speaker 1: you want to shut the guy down, that's fine. Why

2342
01:49:00,760 --> 01:49:03,559
Speaker 1: did Russell Wilson have to open his mouth and tell

2343
01:49:03,600 --> 01:49:06,560
Speaker 1: everybody what happened? What Wilson said, This was Friday that

2344
01:49:06,680 --> 01:49:09,560
Speaker 1: the Broncos approached him about waiving that guarantee in the

2345
01:49:09,640 --> 01:49:12,240
Speaker 1: five year, what two hundred and forty million dollar contract

2346
01:49:12,280 --> 01:49:14,360
Speaker 1: that he signed back in twenty twenty two. This is

2347
01:49:14,400 --> 01:49:17,479
Speaker 1: an internal thing. First of all, Why was his agent involved,

2348
01:49:17,600 --> 01:49:19,800
Speaker 1: Why did it go directly to Russell? And why did

2349
01:49:19,880 --> 01:49:23,040
Speaker 1: he have to win the mouth? Look, karma is a bitch,

2350
01:49:23,240 --> 01:49:25,400
Speaker 1: it is, and that's why Russell Wilson was throwing the

2351
01:49:25,439 --> 01:49:29,080
Speaker 1: hell out of Seattle because this guy is all for me, me, me.

2352
01:49:29,400 --> 01:49:31,000
Speaker 1: You know, he's not a team guy. If he was

2353
01:49:31,040 --> 01:49:33,000
Speaker 1: a team guy, he would have said, Okay, there's an

2354
01:49:33,080 --> 01:49:36,080
Speaker 1: internal reason why I'm not playing today. But he had

2355
01:49:36,080 --> 01:49:39,599
Speaker 1: to go public and ruin it for everybody. Maybe I'm mistaken, Bucky,

2356
01:49:39,680 --> 01:49:42,719
Speaker 1: tell me, but I don't think that Russell Wilson should

2357
01:49:42,720 --> 01:49:46,240
Speaker 1: have gone public with this thing. Was it was personal yes,

2358
01:49:46,439 --> 01:49:47,599
Speaker 1: but he shouldn't have gone public.

2359
01:49:48,240 --> 01:49:50,160
Speaker 3: Well, no, no, I think he had to go public

2360
01:49:50,240 --> 01:49:52,439
Speaker 3: because like even when they asked Sean Payton, like why

2361
01:49:52,479 --> 01:49:54,160
Speaker 3: did you sit him down? Why I can't replace the

2362
01:49:54,200 --> 01:49:56,599
Speaker 3: five offensive linement, I can't replace all the wide.

2363
01:49:56,400 --> 01:49:58,880
Speaker 2: Receivers, Like at that point, then what are we doing?

2364
01:49:59,280 --> 01:50:01,679
Speaker 2: If you can't repla place, Then if we're holding people.

2365
01:50:01,520 --> 01:50:05,720
Speaker 3: Accountable, don't you hold those people accountable for those performances?

2366
01:50:05,800 --> 01:50:08,960
Speaker 3: And so I understand why Russ would do it, because look,

2367
01:50:09,000 --> 01:50:11,200
Speaker 3: it was it was a shock to everybody for him

2368
01:50:11,200 --> 01:50:13,479
Speaker 3: to sit down the way that he was sitting down

2369
01:50:13,560 --> 01:50:15,800
Speaker 3: or whatever. And I would say this about Russell like

2370
01:50:16,600 --> 01:50:19,599
Speaker 3: I felt like, egotistically and selfishly, he kind of blew

2371
01:50:19,680 --> 01:50:21,519
Speaker 3: up a good thing in Seattle, like when there was

2372
01:50:21,600 --> 01:50:23,800
Speaker 3: that hole and I don't hear this faction of people

2373
01:50:24,240 --> 01:50:27,559
Speaker 3: let Russ cook movement right when everyone was like, oh, Pete.

2374
01:50:27,360 --> 01:50:29,240
Speaker 2: Carroll's holding him back and they need to let Russ

2375
01:50:29,360 --> 01:50:30,360
Speaker 2: cook and he's this and that.

2376
01:50:30,720 --> 01:50:33,720
Speaker 3: I always felt like that was a misguided attempt by

2377
01:50:33,800 --> 01:50:34,960
Speaker 3: Russell to be something.

2378
01:50:34,760 --> 01:50:35,120
Speaker 2: That he's not.

2379
01:50:35,720 --> 01:50:39,920
Speaker 3: And saying that, though, I still feel like Sean Payton

2380
01:50:39,960 --> 01:50:43,559
Speaker 3: could have shown him more respect just from a dignified thing,

2381
01:50:43,680 --> 01:50:45,479
Speaker 3: not saying that he had to stay in the lineup

2382
01:50:45,800 --> 01:50:49,240
Speaker 3: or whatever. But there there were ways that Sean Payton

2383
01:50:49,280 --> 01:50:49,920
Speaker 3: could have handled this.

2384
01:50:49,960 --> 01:50:53,120
Speaker 2: From the jump. He undermined him at every turn, from

2385
01:50:53,160 --> 01:50:54,320
Speaker 2: the time he took the job.

2386
01:50:55,280 --> 01:51:01,599
Speaker 4: Dud, because he's a paper GM. Peyton got a huge contract,

2387
01:51:01,640 --> 01:51:04,320
Speaker 4: he's got control. You think George Peyton's going to be

2388
01:51:04,360 --> 01:51:05,000
Speaker 4: there next year.

2389
01:51:05,960 --> 01:51:07,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, all the juices Sean Payton.

2390
01:51:07,760 --> 01:51:10,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I get that. But still Sean Payn should have

2391
01:51:10,160 --> 01:51:11,599
Speaker 1: been spun off to say, look, it's not my call,

2392
01:51:11,600 --> 01:51:12,400
Speaker 1: it's a GM's call.

2393
01:51:13,000 --> 01:51:15,280
Speaker 2: Let No, no, no, everyone knows it's his call. Because

2394
01:51:15,680 --> 01:51:18,479
Speaker 2: George Payton signed Russell to that deal when they didn't

2395
01:51:18,520 --> 01:51:21,400
Speaker 2: have to. I was his mismanaged all around. Sure, they

2396
01:51:21,439 --> 01:51:21,800
Speaker 2: didn't have.

2397
01:51:21,880 --> 01:51:23,920
Speaker 3: To sign Russell to an extension. When they did, they

2398
01:51:24,000 --> 01:51:27,040
Speaker 3: still had years on that original contract. They did that

2399
01:51:27,520 --> 01:51:29,160
Speaker 3: on the I think he hasn't even played on the.

2400
01:51:29,200 --> 01:51:32,160
Speaker 1: New No, he hasn't yet. No, not down on the

2401
01:51:32,200 --> 01:51:32,479
Speaker 1: new one.

2402
01:51:32,880 --> 01:51:33,080
Speaker 2: Yeah.

2403
01:51:33,200 --> 01:51:35,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, So so now they're having to pay him on

2404
01:51:35,800 --> 01:51:38,400
Speaker 3: a deal that they didn't have to give him. They

2405
01:51:38,439 --> 01:51:39,880
Speaker 3: gave it to him like oh yeah, we like you,

2406
01:51:40,040 --> 01:51:41,599
Speaker 3: we want to do it, and they paid him.

2407
01:51:41,640 --> 01:51:43,479
Speaker 4: Just always remember when you go back to some of

2408
01:51:43,560 --> 01:51:45,400
Speaker 4: your math classes and everything, what are we looking for?

2409
01:51:45,600 --> 01:51:48,400
Speaker 4: The common element set it before the season when he

2410
01:51:48,520 --> 01:51:51,760
Speaker 4: went after Hackett. If it fails, Peyton's going to be

2411
01:51:51,800 --> 01:51:56,320
Speaker 4: able to say, see, see there's Russell Wilson. There's Russell Wilson.

2412
01:51:56,439 --> 01:51:58,679
Speaker 4: You look at the all twenty two and throws he missed.

2413
01:51:58,880 --> 01:52:01,759
Speaker 4: I think the thing that dressing down came after rushing

2414
01:52:01,840 --> 01:52:03,720
Speaker 4: to the line to call a play. They have a

2415
01:52:03,800 --> 01:52:06,360
Speaker 4: false start when they never got through a full review

2416
01:52:06,400 --> 01:52:08,599
Speaker 4: of whether Javonte Williams had scored a touchdown.

2417
01:52:09,880 --> 01:52:12,000
Speaker 1: But can be watching the playoffs together.

2418
01:52:12,080 --> 01:52:14,040
Speaker 4: No, that's about it, and one of them is going

2419
01:52:14,080 --> 01:52:16,519
Speaker 4: to have a long term deal. The other ones just hoping.

2420
01:52:16,560 --> 01:52:20,080
Speaker 4: Aaron Rodgers keeps coming back and playing forever. He's Andy Furman,

2421
01:52:20,120 --> 01:52:22,559
Speaker 4: that's Bucky Brooks. I'm by Crump. We never actually decided

2422
01:52:22,560 --> 01:52:24,479
Speaker 4: who's gonna win that game. But we got four more

2423
01:52:24,520 --> 01:52:28,400
Speaker 4: to get to before we finish this out. Jared Stidham

2424
01:52:28,439 --> 01:52:31,880
Speaker 4: for the for King. As you go through, watch Sean

2425
01:52:31,960 --> 01:52:35,760
Speaker 4: Payton's playbook come to life magically before your very eyes.

2426
01:52:35,840 --> 01:52:37,519
Speaker 4: All Right, a couple more games as we get out

2437
01:53:08,800 --> 01:53:12,040
Speaker 4: further than Yes, Mason Russeolf Rudolph gave you a big

2438
01:53:12,160 --> 01:53:15,360
Speaker 4: delivery over the Christmas holiday. So let's move on to

2439
01:53:15,400 --> 01:53:18,680
Speaker 4: another game of consequence. Saints said, Buccaneers, Hey you go,

2440
01:53:18,840 --> 01:53:22,080
Speaker 4: here's one division still up in the air as we

2441
01:53:22,280 --> 01:53:25,799
Speaker 4: roll through. Gentlemen, this is one that has my rapt attention.

2442
01:53:26,000 --> 01:53:29,400
Speaker 4: Derek Carr playing better football of late the Buccaneers and

2443
01:53:29,520 --> 01:53:34,800
Speaker 4: the reclamation slash long term answer question mark that is

2444
01:53:35,600 --> 01:53:38,280
Speaker 4: Baker Mayfield. We look at the board for this one.

2445
01:53:38,720 --> 01:53:40,880
Speaker 4: The Bucks a two and a half point favorite at

2446
01:53:40,960 --> 01:53:43,960
Speaker 4: home forty two the over under. Are you buying into

2447
01:53:44,000 --> 01:53:48,519
Speaker 4: Baker Mayfield and the renaissance here in week seventeen, Andy Furman, Yes,

2448
01:53:48,600 --> 01:53:48,920
Speaker 4: I am.

2449
01:53:48,920 --> 01:53:51,679
Speaker 1: Because Bucky Brooks told me and I when Bucky says

2450
01:53:51,680 --> 01:53:54,240
Speaker 1: that he knows this is the system and right now

2451
01:53:54,400 --> 01:53:57,519
Speaker 1: that Baker Mayfield is the quarterback for the president probably

2452
01:53:57,600 --> 01:53:59,560
Speaker 1: in the future of the Saints. They're gonna try to

2453
01:53:59,600 --> 01:54:02,120
Speaker 1: prevent the Buccaneers from locking up the NFC South and

2454
01:54:02,160 --> 01:54:04,280
Speaker 1: they're gonna try to keep their own divisional hopes going.

2455
01:54:04,520 --> 01:54:06,600
Speaker 1: And New Orleans needs a win because they loss and

2456
01:54:06,680 --> 01:54:09,760
Speaker 1: other results and that NFC could result in a team

2457
01:54:09,880 --> 01:54:12,280
Speaker 1: being eliminated from the playoff contention. It's gonna be a

2458
01:54:12,320 --> 01:54:13,719
Speaker 1: tough game, but I like the Bucks.

2459
01:54:13,520 --> 01:54:15,679
Speaker 2: In this one. Yeah.

2460
01:54:15,760 --> 01:54:20,400
Speaker 3: The Buccaneers are an interesting squad because Baker Mayfield has

2461
01:54:20,400 --> 01:54:22,759
Speaker 3: given him a lot of confidence. He kind of fits

2462
01:54:22,880 --> 01:54:24,959
Speaker 3: what they want to be, kind of tough guy persona.

2463
01:54:25,320 --> 01:54:28,840
Speaker 3: He's playing well, and the system that they're running has really,

2464
01:54:29,760 --> 01:54:31,400
Speaker 3: i would say, accenuated his talents.

2465
01:54:31,720 --> 01:54:33,240
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna go with to the Buccaneers. I think

2466
01:54:33,240 --> 01:54:34,080
Speaker 2: they're on the right track.

2467
01:54:34,200 --> 01:54:36,040
Speaker 3: This is a team that's going to win the NFC

2468
01:54:36,200 --> 01:54:38,080
Speaker 3: South and I think they're going to take care of

2469
01:54:38,080 --> 01:54:39,320
Speaker 3: business today against the same.

2470
01:54:39,200 --> 01:54:41,240
Speaker 4: Mike Evans continues to get it done. I heard you

2471
01:54:41,240 --> 01:54:44,120
Speaker 4: guys talking about James Cook earlier for the Buffalo Bills.

2472
01:54:44,400 --> 01:54:47,520
Speaker 4: Rashad White has been that guy as well as a

2473
01:54:47,600 --> 01:54:50,320
Speaker 4: runner and receiver for the Buccaneers, helping a lot of

2474
01:54:50,320 --> 01:54:53,440
Speaker 4: people towards those fantasy championship matchups.

2475
01:54:53,600 --> 01:54:55,680
Speaker 1: Next Packers and Vikings.

2476
01:54:55,760 --> 01:54:59,640
Speaker 4: Oh here we go an NFC North battle Minnesota with

2477
01:55:00,080 --> 01:55:02,440
Speaker 4: all under center, a one and a half point favorite

2478
01:55:02,480 --> 01:55:05,360
Speaker 4: forty three and a half nobody playing seemingly in the

2479
01:55:05,440 --> 01:55:09,240
Speaker 4: Green Bay secondary backups, JayR Alexander, you want to talk

2480
01:55:09,280 --> 01:55:11,560
Speaker 4: about strange stories of the week, Bucky. You ever have

2481
01:55:11,640 --> 01:55:13,160
Speaker 4: a guy I want to go out and be captain

2482
01:55:13,440 --> 01:55:15,240
Speaker 4: when he's not captain, I am.

2483
01:55:15,200 --> 01:55:18,680
Speaker 1: The captain now. He went all captain Phillips last week.

2484
01:55:20,400 --> 01:55:23,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was interesting, and I know a lot of

2485
01:55:23,160 --> 01:55:25,160
Speaker 3: people made jokes about it, like, oh, that's so funny

2486
01:55:25,200 --> 01:55:25,640
Speaker 3: and this and that.

2487
01:55:25,800 --> 01:55:28,040
Speaker 2: But what he did was irresponsible.

2488
01:55:28,040 --> 01:55:28,400
Speaker 1: Try one.

2489
01:55:28,440 --> 01:55:29,840
Speaker 2: He put himself above the team too.

2490
01:55:29,920 --> 01:55:31,920
Speaker 3: He didn't know what he was doing, even the explanation

2491
01:55:32,520 --> 01:55:34,800
Speaker 3: in the postgame press and when he's talking like he

2492
01:55:34,920 --> 01:55:37,240
Speaker 3: has no idea what he's supposed to do when he

2493
01:55:37,320 --> 01:55:37,920
Speaker 3: goes out there.

2494
01:55:38,200 --> 01:55:41,720
Speaker 2: The fact that he kind of assumed the vocal role

2495
01:55:42,120 --> 01:55:44,440
Speaker 2: of the captain to me, they need to sit him down.

2496
01:55:44,480 --> 01:55:47,320
Speaker 3: And it seems like the suspension was not just about

2497
01:55:47,440 --> 01:55:50,400
Speaker 3: that one off that there have been other issues that

2498
01:55:50,520 --> 01:55:52,720
Speaker 3: have kind of been bubbling up with Yarry Alexander. Because

2499
01:55:52,720 --> 01:55:56,000
Speaker 3: he practiced for six weeks without playing. There's something else

2500
01:55:56,080 --> 01:55:59,840
Speaker 3: going on. So kudos to Goody for saying, hey, man,

2501
01:55:59,840 --> 01:56:00,440
Speaker 3: you sit down.

2502
01:56:00,440 --> 01:56:01,000
Speaker 2: I kind of cool you.

2503
01:56:01,160 --> 01:56:05,560
Speaker 1: Jess rookie Jaron Hall gets the staff of the Vikings

2504
01:56:05,600 --> 01:56:08,360
Speaker 1: this week at quarterback. But you know what paga's defense

2505
01:56:08,440 --> 01:56:11,520
Speaker 1: is struggling. Vikings have too many weapons. I take the Vikings.

2506
01:56:11,640 --> 01:56:14,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, defense already seemed like it was crumbling and coming apart,

2507
01:56:15,320 --> 01:56:18,200
Speaker 4: and the finger pointing the last few weeks has certainly

2508
01:56:18,320 --> 01:56:20,720
Speaker 4: been there at every turn. Hey, we're brought to you

2513
01:56:33,040 --> 01:56:35,760
Speaker 4: finish up with the most asinine narrative of the week

2514
01:56:36,120 --> 01:56:38,880
Speaker 4: about distractions.

2515
01:56:38,160 --> 01:56:39,360
Speaker 1: Bengals at Chiefs.

2516
01:56:39,560 --> 01:56:42,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, here we go. Six and a half point favorites

2517
01:56:42,120 --> 01:56:45,320
Speaker 4: are the Chiefs at home forty four of the total.

2518
01:56:45,560 --> 01:56:47,720
Speaker 4: We've had the updates all morning. Jamar Cha is gonna

2519
01:56:47,720 --> 01:56:48,440
Speaker 4: give it the old college.

2520
01:56:48,520 --> 01:56:49,879
Speaker 1: Try. When you say there's.

2521
01:56:49,800 --> 01:56:53,520
Speaker 4: Nobody on the other side that matches Jalen Ramsey and

2522
01:56:53,640 --> 01:56:55,880
Speaker 4: you put that out there, you better try to get

2523
01:56:55,920 --> 01:56:58,600
Speaker 4: out there and then make sure you can say something

2524
01:56:58,640 --> 01:57:02,480
Speaker 4: about it in the post. Obviously, last week a difficult

2525
01:57:02,520 --> 01:57:05,040
Speaker 4: one from Browning the Steelers throwing out a bunch of

2526
01:57:05,120 --> 01:57:08,760
Speaker 4: backups and guys that once upon a time were and

2527
01:57:08,920 --> 01:57:13,200
Speaker 4: intercepting him multiple times in a beatdown Andy Furman.

2528
01:57:12,920 --> 01:57:15,240
Speaker 1: How do they recover here? Well in a big spot

2529
01:57:15,320 --> 01:57:19,120
Speaker 1: at Kansas City the nickname of the Bengals, but without

2530
01:57:19,200 --> 01:57:21,840
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow, they're a paper tiger. So I like the Chiefs.

2531
01:57:22,840 --> 01:57:24,160
Speaker 1: What do you think about the distraction?

2532
01:57:24,360 --> 01:57:24,480
Speaker 4: Eric?

2533
01:57:24,600 --> 01:57:26,280
Speaker 1: Before we get to you here, Bucket, I love it.

2534
01:57:26,440 --> 01:57:28,720
Speaker 1: I think it's great fadder, But I don't know why

2535
01:57:28,800 --> 01:57:31,440
Speaker 1: these players do that. Then they want to get the clicks.

2536
01:57:31,520 --> 01:57:33,440
Speaker 1: I don't know why they do it. Bucky, tell me

2537
01:57:33,720 --> 01:57:36,000
Speaker 1: what's the upside of doing that, tell me.

2538
01:57:36,320 --> 01:57:38,640
Speaker 2: Now that there's no upside to it. Thatsj March is

2539
01:57:38,720 --> 01:57:39,320
Speaker 2: just being real.

2540
01:57:39,720 --> 01:57:42,320
Speaker 3: Remember a couple like a couple months ago, he talked

2541
01:57:42,320 --> 01:57:44,360
Speaker 3: about he's always bleeping open.

2542
01:57:44,560 --> 01:57:46,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's the same thing you asked me. What just

2543
01:57:47,360 --> 01:57:49,440
Speaker 2: going to give you too? Yeah, he's going to give

2544
01:57:49,480 --> 01:57:50,720
Speaker 2: you a response.

2545
01:57:50,800 --> 01:57:54,800
Speaker 3: And the Kansity Chiefs defense has been good, but they

2546
01:57:54,840 --> 01:57:56,800
Speaker 3: do use a lot of bracket coverage. He talked about

2547
01:57:56,800 --> 01:57:59,200
Speaker 3: they double team everybody because they can't cover straight up.

2548
01:57:59,600 --> 01:58:01,000
Speaker 2: So he was letting everyone know.

2549
01:58:01,080 --> 01:58:03,480
Speaker 3: And when he said I'm not iron Man, I can't

2550
01:58:03,560 --> 01:58:05,880
Speaker 3: throw to myself, I was like, hey man, look at

2551
01:58:05,920 --> 01:58:08,880
Speaker 3: you like going to movies and having nice analogies.

2552
01:58:09,560 --> 01:58:11,480
Speaker 4: Well, he's been listening to sports dog radio.

2553
01:58:11,800 --> 01:58:14,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's the suit. It's the suit. Iron Man is

2554
01:58:14,720 --> 01:58:15,840
Speaker 2: the suit. I can't let him go.

2555
01:58:16,200 --> 01:58:18,120
Speaker 3: I'm not a big iron Man fan because it's the suit,

2556
01:58:18,240 --> 01:58:19,960
Speaker 3: is not his own individual superpowers.

2557
01:58:20,080 --> 01:58:22,280
Speaker 4: See one of the greatest back and forths ever in

2558
01:58:22,400 --> 01:58:25,720
Speaker 4: those movies, though, you know you have the the the

2559
01:58:25,840 --> 01:58:28,000
Speaker 4: DC side of it with Batman. You know what is it?

2560
01:58:28,120 --> 01:58:31,080
Speaker 4: You know what's your superpower? And he shrugs and goes,

2561
01:58:31,120 --> 01:58:34,120
Speaker 4: I'm rich, And then you have the battle between Captain

2562
01:58:34,160 --> 01:58:38,160
Speaker 4: America and Iron Man, and you got Chris Evans getting

2563
01:58:38,200 --> 01:58:41,800
Speaker 4: all chesty on Robert Downey Junior, and our DJ comes

2564
01:58:41,840 --> 01:58:44,600
Speaker 4: back with yeah, yeah, yeah, slow it down, Cap Everything

2565
01:58:44,720 --> 01:58:46,800
Speaker 4: special about you came out of a bottle.

2566
01:58:48,760 --> 01:58:51,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, you talk about heart and getting after it.

2567
01:58:52,160 --> 01:58:55,560
Speaker 4: The other distraction, obviously, everybody doing everything they can to

2568
01:58:55,720 --> 01:58:59,960
Speaker 4: excuse the Chiefs, you know, play and trying to make

2569
01:59:00,040 --> 01:59:03,520
Speaker 4: at all about Taylor Swift in a relationship. In our business,

2570
01:59:03,800 --> 01:59:06,360
Speaker 4: that's what I call hot take nonsense. I'm glad you

2571
01:59:06,400 --> 01:59:08,440
Speaker 4: guys get your two Comma checks, but you're a bunch

2572
01:59:08,480 --> 01:59:12,440
Speaker 4: of dopes. Uh the does Eric be enemy go back

2573
01:59:12,480 --> 01:59:14,560
Speaker 4: to the Chiefs for the playoffs? If he gets bounced

2574
01:59:14,600 --> 01:59:15,680
Speaker 4: from Washington.

2575
01:59:17,440 --> 01:59:19,760
Speaker 2: That'd be a humble admission for Andy Reid to bring

2576
01:59:19,840 --> 01:59:20,200
Speaker 2: him back.

2577
01:59:20,440 --> 01:59:23,080
Speaker 4: Well, he's got Matt Maggie, he's already seen what happens.

2578
01:59:24,440 --> 01:59:28,280
Speaker 3: I think they miss Eric being the minimis edginess in

2579
01:59:28,400 --> 01:59:30,560
Speaker 3: terms of holding those guys accountable or whatever. I can't

2580
01:59:30,560 --> 01:59:33,160
Speaker 3: say anything to do with the offense of creativity, but

2581
01:59:33,840 --> 01:59:35,840
Speaker 3: every team needs a bad cop, and it appears that

2582
01:59:35,920 --> 01:59:37,520
Speaker 3: he was the bad cop on that offense.

2583
01:59:37,840 --> 01:59:39,720
Speaker 1: I think they'd rather see Tyreek Hill come back.

2584
01:59:40,360 --> 01:59:44,000
Speaker 4: Wow, which is nuts. I mean Christmas was last week.

2585
01:59:44,240 --> 01:59:47,880
Speaker 4: I mean it's just your New Year's witch a reunion.

2586
01:59:48,760 --> 01:59:50,680
Speaker 1: I don't really care who goes back to Kansas City.

2587
01:59:50,760 --> 01:59:52,440
Speaker 1: I see the Bengals win that game. I don't think

2588
01:59:52,440 --> 01:59:53,040
Speaker 1: it's gonna happen.

2589
01:59:56,480 --> 01:59:59,760
Speaker 2: You never know. The Chiefs have been struggling.

2590
01:59:59,600 --> 02:00:00,480
Speaker 1: Well, but that's the thing.

2591
02:00:00,960 --> 02:00:04,720
Speaker 4: They've got almost forty drop passes. You don't have separation.

2592
02:00:04,880 --> 02:00:07,120
Speaker 4: Pacheco gonna try to give it the old college try.

2593
02:00:07,560 --> 02:00:10,000
Speaker 4: Mikhol Hartman comes back to the wide receiving core that

2594
02:00:10,080 --> 02:00:12,720
Speaker 4: moved the needle for either of you. No, no, I

2595
02:00:12,760 --> 02:00:15,200
Speaker 4: didn't think so. Hey, am I start justin fields or

2596
02:00:15,240 --> 02:00:21,880
Speaker 4: Patrick Mahomes in fantasy. I like that both of you

2597
02:00:22,000 --> 02:00:25,280
Speaker 4: just went Happy New Year fellas, Bucky and I can't

Speaker 4: Mike Carman alongside Bucky Brooks thanks to our guy Andy Furman.

2601
02:00:36,640 --> 02:00:39,920
Speaker 4: Last hour, some great discussions, so many big talking points

2602
02:00:40,280 --> 02:00:44,040
Speaker 4: surrounding the National Football League. It's already Week seventeen, which

2603
02:00:44,120 --> 02:00:47,880
Speaker 4: means it's Fantasy title week. For a lot of folks.

2604
02:00:47,960 --> 02:00:52,000
Speaker 4: Sometimes you use week eighteen. Those are few and far between.

2605
02:00:52,400 --> 02:00:54,280
Speaker 4: But we got two games already in the book. Shay

2606
02:00:54,440 --> 02:00:58,080
Speaker 4: still celebrating the Browns victory on Thursday night it's over

2607
02:00:58,120 --> 02:01:01,360
Speaker 4: the hapless Jets. They show some life, but well just

2608
02:01:01,480 --> 02:01:05,880
Speaker 4: not enough. That faded quickly, and then last night's debacle

2609
02:01:06,120 --> 02:01:08,960
Speaker 4: of officiating. You know, when I rub my stomach, normally

2610
02:01:09,000 --> 02:01:11,640
Speaker 4: it means I'm eligible for food and beverage, Bucky Brooks,

2611
02:01:12,280 --> 02:01:14,320
Speaker 4: And it's a New Year's Eve, so let's get after it.

2612
02:01:14,400 --> 02:01:15,360
Speaker 1: Let the gluttony begin.

2613
02:01:17,840 --> 02:01:20,960
Speaker 2: That's so funny, stomach. Let us know, well, you know.

2614
02:01:21,040 --> 02:01:23,360
Speaker 4: Rub the belly of the Buddha like that was the

2615
02:01:23,440 --> 02:01:25,480
Speaker 4: old thing in my house, Like all right, are you

2616
02:01:25,560 --> 02:01:28,120
Speaker 4: telling me I need to get on a treadmill man?

2617
02:01:28,440 --> 02:01:31,200
Speaker 4: And that's not as endearing as you might think it is.

2618
02:01:32,080 --> 02:01:35,040
Speaker 4: You know, folks, get a little bit out of sorts,

2619
02:01:35,280 --> 02:01:37,120
Speaker 4: you know, out of pocket, a term that we use

2620
02:01:37,200 --> 02:01:39,600
Speaker 4: quite a bit as we broadcast live from the tirerac

2621
02:01:39,640 --> 02:01:42,240
Speaker 4: dot com studios. Tyreract dot com will help you get

2622
02:01:42,280 --> 02:01:45,600
Speaker 4: there on unmatched selection, fast free shipping, free road hazard protection,

2623
02:01:45,920 --> 02:01:49,160
Speaker 4: and over ten thousand recommended installers. Tireract dot com. The

2624
02:01:49,240 --> 02:01:51,880
Speaker 4: way tire buying should be so much to get to.

2625
02:01:52,080 --> 02:01:54,680
Speaker 4: We broached on a number of topics last hour with

2626
02:01:55,200 --> 02:01:58,160
Speaker 4: with our guy Andy Furman Bucky, but I'll be remiss.

2627
02:01:58,320 --> 02:02:02,400
Speaker 4: You know Ilo made the eligibility reporting joke and everything else.

2628
02:02:02,880 --> 02:02:06,800
Speaker 4: You've seen this. The referee eventually does come over the

2629
02:02:06,880 --> 02:02:12,440
Speaker 4: loud speaker and announce who's declared right. So the subscrurefusion

2630
02:02:12,600 --> 02:02:17,800
Speaker 4: adding Sewel and everybody else running over seemed unnecessary and added,

2631
02:02:18,200 --> 02:02:21,760
Speaker 4: especially when old number seventy had reported eligible multiple times.

2632
02:02:22,240 --> 02:02:25,440
Speaker 4: You're expecting the official to harken back to a pregame meeting,

2633
02:02:26,240 --> 02:02:29,000
Speaker 4: and you know, he just gets caught in the Hey,

2634
02:02:29,080 --> 02:02:31,120
Speaker 4: I got to keep things moving, get to the defense

2635
02:02:31,160 --> 02:02:33,440
Speaker 4: and everything else. So it gets a little bit chaotic,

2636
02:02:33,520 --> 02:02:36,080
Speaker 4: and they opened the door for chaos. And with that crew,

2637
02:02:36,320 --> 02:02:38,360
Speaker 4: we've certainly seen it all year. You don't open it

2638
02:02:38,440 --> 02:02:41,160
Speaker 4: to the judges to have any extra decisions.

2639
02:02:42,680 --> 02:02:45,240
Speaker 3: No, you definitely don't want them to play a role

2640
02:02:45,560 --> 02:02:49,080
Speaker 3: in doing anything extra when it comes to that. I

2641
02:02:49,480 --> 02:02:53,560
Speaker 3: think it's just more so like most people don't believe

2642
02:02:53,600 --> 02:02:57,800
Speaker 3: that the players hear the announcements from the referees, Like

2643
02:02:57,920 --> 02:03:00,480
Speaker 3: even if they do say who's eligible or not. Like

2644
02:03:01,000 --> 02:03:03,720
Speaker 3: your thought is like they're so locked into everyone talking

2645
02:03:03,760 --> 02:03:05,920
Speaker 3: to them getting the signaled in that they're not going

2646
02:03:06,000 --> 02:03:09,160
Speaker 3: to hear that in real time. And so that's why

2647
02:03:09,200 --> 02:03:11,440
Speaker 3: you have the deceptive practices when it comes into it.

2648
02:03:11,720 --> 02:03:13,800
Speaker 4: But you could get the I mean, you get in

2649
02:03:13,880 --> 02:03:18,240
Speaker 4: the headset of your linebacker on the dude, is that right?

2650
02:03:19,160 --> 02:03:21,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, a little bit, But it's all going fast, right,

2651
02:03:21,560 --> 02:03:23,160
Speaker 2: it's all going so fast.

2652
02:03:22,920 --> 02:03:25,560
Speaker 3: And depending on if like dan Quinn and those guys

2653
02:03:25,600 --> 02:03:28,160
Speaker 3: are talking like a mile a minute and all the

2654
02:03:28,240 --> 02:03:30,160
Speaker 3: other stuff, Like you're hoping that they don't get all

2655
02:03:30,200 --> 02:03:34,200
Speaker 3: that information communicated, but you are right, Like sometimes maybe

2656
02:03:34,320 --> 02:03:38,160
Speaker 3: just declare so everyone knows clearly what is going on.

2657
02:03:39,000 --> 02:03:41,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think this one's a try to outsmart the

2658
02:03:41,680 --> 02:03:43,879
Speaker 4: room and you got guy, I'm not saying.

2659
02:03:43,680 --> 02:03:44,200
Speaker 1: That the fish.

2660
02:03:44,280 --> 02:03:47,200
Speaker 4: You've got a right, I mean, Tron Allen certainly, and

2661
02:03:47,320 --> 02:03:50,000
Speaker 4: we chronicled it last hour. I mean, there's a lot

2662
02:03:50,200 --> 02:03:54,400
Speaker 4: of instances this year this crew just being less than

2663
02:03:54,960 --> 02:03:58,560
Speaker 4: in terms of their efficiency. But here's an opportunity late

2664
02:03:58,680 --> 02:04:03,200
Speaker 4: game situation. One you need your being gutsy and you

2665
02:04:03,280 --> 02:04:05,520
Speaker 4: get a little cute with the extra guys going over

2666
02:04:05,720 --> 02:04:09,120
Speaker 4: as a shield and you open the door for chaos.

2667
02:04:10,080 --> 02:04:13,120
Speaker 2: Mm hmm, yeah, no, I'm with you on that.

2668
02:04:13,520 --> 02:04:17,200
Speaker 4: So so the reporting goes through it. Look the gutsiness

2669
02:04:17,240 --> 02:04:19,440
Speaker 4: of Campbell and I guess this we started a little

2670
02:04:19,440 --> 02:04:22,160
Speaker 4: bit last hour. You know, you talk about Dak Prescott

2671
02:04:22,160 --> 02:04:24,760
Speaker 4: and he's got to make better decisions. One hundred percent agree.

2672
02:04:25,120 --> 02:04:28,640
Speaker 4: But you know McCarthy's history comes into play. It's funny

2673
02:04:28,680 --> 02:04:30,880
Speaker 4: we got coaches all over the place because we got

2674
02:04:31,000 --> 02:04:33,000
Speaker 4: then Campbell on the other side, where you're like, all right,

2675
02:04:33,120 --> 02:04:36,440
Speaker 4: is the stubbornness going to be their undoing in a spot?

2676
02:04:36,760 --> 02:04:38,680
Speaker 4: You know, kind of like it was for Brandon Staley

2677
02:04:39,120 --> 02:04:42,000
Speaker 4: with less pelts on the wall in terms of regular

2678
02:04:42,120 --> 02:04:44,600
Speaker 4: season wins and all the goodness. And then you have

2679
02:04:44,680 --> 02:04:48,000
Speaker 4: the Sean Payton situation, which was clearly I've always been

2680
02:04:48,040 --> 02:04:51,720
Speaker 4: a wizard. You brought up the altercation that has been

2681
02:04:51,800 --> 02:04:53,800
Speaker 4: a lot of the focal point this week, and I

2682
02:04:53,840 --> 02:04:56,960
Speaker 4: think rightly so. In terms of the dressing down with

2683
02:04:57,560 --> 02:05:01,680
Speaker 4: Russell Wilson and going back to his time with Drew Brees,

2684
02:05:01,720 --> 02:05:04,480
Speaker 4: they were inextricably linked at the hip. So I don't

2685
02:05:04,520 --> 02:05:07,280
Speaker 4: know that there was a I'm better than or I

2686
02:05:07,400 --> 02:05:10,120
Speaker 4: don't need you. I think maybe Peyton to a little

2687
02:05:10,240 --> 02:05:12,960
Speaker 4: bit with his year at Fox, believed what was all

2688
02:05:13,000 --> 02:05:15,480
Speaker 4: written about him, about what a wizard he was, and

2689
02:05:15,560 --> 02:05:18,520
Speaker 4: that was part of the hack Hacket dressing down of well,

2690
02:05:18,600 --> 02:05:21,000
Speaker 4: that won't happen on my watch. And then they get

2691
02:05:21,160 --> 02:05:24,840
Speaker 4: a seventy burger put up by the Dolphins and you

2692
02:05:25,000 --> 02:05:27,320
Speaker 4: have all of these other issues that go on. You

2693
02:05:27,400 --> 02:05:28,760
Speaker 4: have a bit of a run. But as soon as

2694
02:05:28,760 --> 02:05:31,880
Speaker 4: you're mathematically eliminated, it became a lot easier to show

2695
02:05:31,960 --> 02:05:34,760
Speaker 4: all the highlight footage. And I'm talking about a lot

2696
02:05:34,800 --> 02:05:37,160
Speaker 4: of two Comma guys that did this because it became

2697
02:05:37,280 --> 02:05:40,760
Speaker 4: convenient too, where suddenly, Hey, Russell misses this throw and

2698
02:05:40,840 --> 02:05:43,440
Speaker 4: Russell misses that We've been talking about that all year, Bucky,

2699
02:05:44,200 --> 02:05:46,960
Speaker 4: that that wasn't new to us. We talked about it

2700
02:05:47,040 --> 02:05:47,680
Speaker 4: two years ago.

2701
02:05:48,440 --> 02:05:50,480
Speaker 2: Yeah that was that wasn't new. Like so that's why

2702
02:05:50,640 --> 02:05:51,960
Speaker 2: some of it is unnecessary.

2703
02:05:52,000 --> 02:05:54,600
Speaker 3: And once again I want to reiterate, like I love Champayton,

2704
02:05:54,640 --> 02:05:57,240
Speaker 3: Schempayton's look, I call him a friend of mi Ount

2705
02:05:57,280 --> 02:06:00,400
Speaker 3: or whatever, but I just think I'm just a fan

2706
02:06:00,520 --> 02:06:03,960
Speaker 3: of like demeaning a player you know what I'm saying, Like,

2707
02:06:04,000 --> 02:06:07,040
Speaker 3: there's a way to hold people accountable without necessarily demeaning them.

2708
02:06:07,400 --> 02:06:11,280
Speaker 3: And I would say the excessive demonstration that we saw

2709
02:06:11,400 --> 02:06:14,760
Speaker 3: when he went off on Russell Wilson, that's all like

2710
02:06:15,280 --> 02:06:16,520
Speaker 3: like I don't get.

2711
02:06:16,400 --> 02:06:18,320
Speaker 2: That, but I'm like, and I played a time like

2712
02:06:18,360 --> 02:06:21,000
Speaker 2: that's what people. Some people deemed that to be coaching.

2713
02:06:21,560 --> 02:06:24,320
Speaker 3: But to me, I just when you go back and

2714
02:06:24,360 --> 02:06:28,000
Speaker 3: you kind of do the timeline, then I begin to wonder, well,

2715
02:06:28,240 --> 02:06:31,360
Speaker 3: wait a minute, like was that more personal because Russell

2716
02:06:31,440 --> 02:06:35,000
Speaker 3: didn't quickly agree to whatever it is that they wanted

2717
02:06:35,320 --> 02:06:38,760
Speaker 3: or any of those things, or was this all kind

2718
02:06:38,800 --> 02:06:42,480
Speaker 3: of building up, you know, where he never was his

2719
02:06:42,600 --> 02:06:43,880
Speaker 3: guy and he was trying to go along.

2720
02:06:43,960 --> 02:06:46,280
Speaker 2: And that's fine. Sometimes they're players that.

2721
02:06:46,520 --> 02:06:50,720
Speaker 4: Just aren't your kind of philosophically different, right you We

2722
02:06:50,920 --> 02:06:52,640
Speaker 4: we talk about it a lot of times that this

2723
02:06:52,800 --> 02:06:54,120
Speaker 4: wasn't the quarterback you chose.

2724
02:06:55,080 --> 02:06:57,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, like and and and and and that is okay,

2725
02:06:57,520 --> 02:07:00,880
Speaker 3: like we all understand like people want to have their guys.

2726
02:07:01,280 --> 02:07:03,800
Speaker 3: And to me, I think it was more so just

2727
02:07:03,920 --> 02:07:07,120
Speaker 3: that part of it just kind of being weird in

2728
02:07:07,280 --> 02:07:09,520
Speaker 3: terms of how they went about it. But like sitting

2729
02:07:09,600 --> 02:07:12,560
Speaker 3: him down like we most of us expected him.

2730
02:07:12,400 --> 02:07:12,880
Speaker 2: To sit down.

2731
02:07:13,240 --> 02:07:16,040
Speaker 3: When they signed Jarriet Stidham to the deal today signed him.

2732
02:07:16,440 --> 02:07:18,280
Speaker 3: It was kind of like the writing was on the wall.

2733
02:07:18,440 --> 02:07:20,440
Speaker 3: You just don't sign a backup to a five or

2734
02:07:20,520 --> 02:07:23,200
Speaker 3: six million dollars deal to think that he's not going

2735
02:07:23,280 --> 02:07:26,480
Speaker 3: to play. You know, Stidham left a backup situation to

2736
02:07:26,560 --> 02:07:29,360
Speaker 3: go to another situation in division. There had to be

2737
02:07:29,440 --> 02:07:32,520
Speaker 3: a conversation that they had, like, hey man, we think

2738
02:07:32,560 --> 02:07:33,440
Speaker 3: you may get a chance.

2739
02:07:35,080 --> 02:07:38,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, look, And the other was getting in front of

2740
02:07:38,040 --> 02:07:40,760
Speaker 4: the microphone and then saying, it's a football decision when

2741
02:07:40,760 --> 02:07:42,960
Speaker 4: you've got what is it one point four chance or

2742
02:07:43,040 --> 02:07:47,320
Speaker 4: something like that percent At this point that that was

2743
02:07:47,920 --> 02:07:51,280
Speaker 4: so disingenuous, it's not even funny. And then you know,

2744
02:07:51,400 --> 02:07:54,320
Speaker 4: five offensive linemen and everything else, it's just funny. I

2745
02:07:54,520 --> 02:07:57,040
Speaker 4: just always kind of chuckle at you know, who's got

2746
02:07:57,120 --> 02:08:00,320
Speaker 4: their water being carried on a given day, and how

2747
02:08:00,360 --> 02:08:03,200
Speaker 4: far folks are willing to go with it with their narratives.

2748
02:08:03,240 --> 02:08:06,720
Speaker 4: So it's fun and exciting and everything else. The other

2749
02:08:06,800 --> 02:08:10,240
Speaker 4: thing I mentioned in passing before they fumbled through the

2750
02:08:10,360 --> 02:08:14,680
Speaker 4: end zone play, since that became an afterthought and this

2751
02:08:14,960 --> 02:08:16,600
Speaker 4: I mean that was a pretty huge play in a

2752
02:08:16,960 --> 02:08:20,040
Speaker 4: four point what becomes a one point game at the

2753
02:08:20,200 --> 02:08:25,240
Speaker 4: end because of some of the questionable decisions, et cetera.

2754
02:08:26,000 --> 02:08:28,680
Speaker 4: Competition committee go back to that as well as how

2755
02:08:28,760 --> 02:08:32,000
Speaker 4: officials you know, have this reporting. Do we get rid

2756
02:08:32,040 --> 02:08:35,360
Speaker 4: of some of the substerfuge? Does that game in and

2757
02:08:35,480 --> 02:08:38,720
Speaker 4: of itself mean enough to the league to make some changes?

2758
02:08:39,840 --> 02:08:41,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, I know It's always been a point

2759
02:08:41,800 --> 02:08:45,040
Speaker 3: of contingent. People hate that rule. They are just they

2760
02:08:45,280 --> 02:08:49,080
Speaker 3: hate that part of the deal when it comes to.

2761
02:08:50,960 --> 02:08:54,320
Speaker 2: Dealing with that. But for me, look, take care of

2762
02:08:54,360 --> 02:08:57,000
Speaker 2: the ball. You know, I wasn't for the convinced that

2763
02:08:57,080 --> 02:08:58,080
Speaker 2: he caught it all the way.

2764
02:08:58,200 --> 02:08:59,840
Speaker 4: No, like that was the other thing. There was never

2765
02:08:59,880 --> 02:09:00,640
Speaker 4: a review of that.

2766
02:09:01,680 --> 02:09:04,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, like I wasn't fully convinced that he caught the

2767
02:09:05,000 --> 02:09:07,680
Speaker 3: ball all the way. But regardless, if that's the thing, like, man,

2768
02:09:07,760 --> 02:09:10,360
Speaker 3: take care of the football. Take care of the ball, like,

2769
02:09:10,480 --> 02:09:12,160
Speaker 3: don't don't put it in harm's way.

2770
02:09:12,600 --> 02:09:15,680
Speaker 2: And it's one of those things where people are like, oh,

2771
02:09:15,720 --> 02:09:19,760
Speaker 2: I should go back, but you're penalizing the runner for

2772
02:09:19,920 --> 02:09:22,480
Speaker 2: doing something what we would call stupid. Take it a ball,

2773
02:09:22,800 --> 02:09:23,680
Speaker 2: they put the ball away.

2774
02:09:23,840 --> 02:09:27,200
Speaker 4: That's all don't be a pylon hero and try to

2775
02:09:27,200 --> 02:09:29,800
Speaker 4: get it through. In this case, it was legitimately, I'm

2776
02:09:29,840 --> 02:09:30,720
Speaker 4: with you. I don't know that.

2777
02:09:31,320 --> 02:09:31,920
Speaker 8: I don't know that.

2778
02:09:31,960 --> 02:09:33,960
Speaker 4: I don't know if you ever catch a lot of times.

2779
02:09:34,280 --> 02:09:36,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know. And it's always tough because man,

2780
02:09:36,600 --> 02:09:38,320
Speaker 2: they always play it in slow motion.

2781
02:09:38,520 --> 02:09:42,200
Speaker 3: Sure you know, and so that that would be my thing.

2782
02:09:43,120 --> 02:09:45,800
Speaker 3: But even then, ball security wasn't. He didn't tuck it away,

2783
02:09:45,840 --> 02:09:48,760
Speaker 3: he had it in one hand. And yeah, it almost

2784
02:09:48,960 --> 02:09:51,120
Speaker 3: was costly because they were dominating the game. You could

2785
02:09:51,120 --> 02:09:53,200
Speaker 3: say the Cowboys are dominating the game the early part

2786
02:09:53,240 --> 02:09:55,360
Speaker 3: of it, but they didn't have the points on the

2787
02:09:55,400 --> 02:09:59,720
Speaker 3: scoreboard to show, or the points didn't reflect the level

2788
02:09:59,760 --> 02:10:01,120
Speaker 3: of di domination that they had early.

2789
02:10:01,320 --> 02:10:04,040
Speaker 4: The fact that Cede Lamb was running free time and

2790
02:10:04,160 --> 02:10:07,160
Speaker 4: time again good for my fantasy team. Huge problem for

2791
02:10:07,280 --> 02:10:11,440
Speaker 4: Aaron Glenn in that Detroit secondary, considering most of the

2792
02:10:11,560 --> 02:10:14,280
Speaker 4: other guys were bystanders. I mean they had the graphic up.

2793
02:10:14,280 --> 02:10:16,720
Speaker 4: At one point he had twelve catches for what was

2794
02:10:16,760 --> 02:10:19,160
Speaker 4: a two twenty six. The rest of the team twelve

2795
02:10:19,240 --> 02:10:20,240
Speaker 4: catches for one to ten.

2796
02:10:21,560 --> 02:10:24,480
Speaker 3: You know, here's the funny thing, because I think you

2797
02:10:24,640 --> 02:10:28,640
Speaker 3: noticed how Dan Campbell came out immediately and was like, man,

2798
02:10:28,680 --> 02:10:29,520
Speaker 3: he loved the defense.

2799
02:10:29,600 --> 02:10:32,880
Speaker 2: He loved the effort, sure or whatever, and you know

2800
02:10:33,880 --> 02:10:34,320
Speaker 2: a lot of it.

2801
02:10:34,800 --> 02:10:38,240
Speaker 3: And what's hard in the league is hard determining what

2802
02:10:38,320 --> 02:10:39,520
Speaker 3: do you want to be good at when it comes

2803
02:10:39,560 --> 02:10:40,080
Speaker 3: to defense.

2804
02:10:40,440 --> 02:10:42,120
Speaker 2: Are you about the points? About the yards?

2805
02:10:42,520 --> 02:10:44,080
Speaker 3: And so if you look at the points they hild

2806
02:10:44,120 --> 02:10:46,760
Speaker 3: him twenty points twenty points in national football that you

2807
02:10:46,800 --> 02:10:48,560
Speaker 3: hold an opponent to twenty points supposed when.

2808
02:10:48,480 --> 02:10:51,040
Speaker 2: They came, yep, like that's that's what it is like.

2809
02:10:51,400 --> 02:10:54,520
Speaker 3: The top defenses typically around right around sixteen to seventeen

2810
02:10:54,560 --> 02:10:58,280
Speaker 3: points per game, and so from a points allowed standpoint,

2811
02:10:58,320 --> 02:11:00,160
Speaker 3: they did exactly what they want to do. Now, you

2812
02:11:00,200 --> 02:11:02,560
Speaker 3: don't want one guy to go for two hundred. But

2813
02:11:02,960 --> 02:11:05,919
Speaker 3: Dan Campbell talked about if you're going to bring pressure,

2814
02:11:06,440 --> 02:11:08,480
Speaker 3: you have to play some Manda mand you have to

2815
02:11:08,520 --> 02:11:10,240
Speaker 3: play one on one and we don't want to double

2816
02:11:10,280 --> 02:11:12,520
Speaker 3: team them all the time or whatever. And so they

2817
02:11:12,560 --> 02:11:14,160
Speaker 3: felt like it was more important to get hits on

2818
02:11:14,200 --> 02:11:16,040
Speaker 3: the quarterback and the snuff out the running game.

2819
02:11:16,280 --> 02:11:18,360
Speaker 2: And so they're willing to live with Ceedee Lamp making

2820
02:11:18,440 --> 02:11:18,880
Speaker 2: some plays.

2821
02:11:19,360 --> 02:11:22,440
Speaker 4: I will say this, I am very much a points allowed. Guy.

2822
02:11:22,880 --> 02:11:25,800
Speaker 4: When it comes for defense, I always see it cited as, hey,

2823
02:11:25,800 --> 02:11:27,840
Speaker 4: you're the number one defense, Like no, no, no, they

2824
02:11:27,880 --> 02:11:31,640
Speaker 4: give up points, Like oh, you're doing the yardage thing. Yeah, No,

2825
02:11:32,560 --> 02:11:35,400
Speaker 4: it doesn't matter because if you're giving up sevens instead

2826
02:11:35,440 --> 02:11:38,360
Speaker 4: of threes and their short fields or whatever. I mean,

2827
02:11:38,360 --> 02:11:40,240
Speaker 4: there's a lot more going on in your game, right,

2828
02:11:40,280 --> 02:11:43,440
Speaker 4: It's the game within the game defense and whether the

2829
02:11:43,520 --> 02:11:47,440
Speaker 4: offense is setting you up in disadvantageous like the three phases? Right,

2830
02:11:47,480 --> 02:11:50,640
Speaker 4: does your special teams help you out in that as well?

2831
02:11:50,840 --> 02:11:53,920
Speaker 4: So a lot of different ways to go at it.

2832
02:11:54,000 --> 02:11:56,960
Speaker 4: So I think I would agree with Campbell to that end.

2833
02:11:57,240 --> 02:12:01,480
Speaker 4: When you start talking about points allowed. Think about it though, Bucky,

2834
02:12:01,520 --> 02:12:05,920
Speaker 4: when we talk about playoff positioning, you know, if you win,

2835
02:12:06,440 --> 02:12:11,560
Speaker 4: you're at worse than number two seed. Right, Detroit win

2836
02:12:11,720 --> 02:12:14,840
Speaker 4: and then you win. In week eighteen, San Francisco loses one,

2837
02:12:14,880 --> 02:12:17,320
Speaker 4: you got a shot at the number one. So that

2838
02:12:17,480 --> 02:12:19,680
Speaker 4: call not only for betters maybe they were on the

2839
02:12:19,720 --> 02:12:25,480
Speaker 4: money line or whatever else that you have pretty big

2840
02:12:25,560 --> 02:12:31,760
Speaker 4: implications for the officiating, miscommunication, gaff whatever you call it. Like,

2841
02:12:32,000 --> 02:12:35,120
Speaker 4: I blame everybody in the situation, but it's unfortunate because

2842
02:12:35,160 --> 02:12:37,800
Speaker 4: it does have huge ramifications in the NFC.

2843
02:12:39,480 --> 02:12:43,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, potentially it could when it shapes out. So let's

2844
02:12:44,480 --> 02:12:46,320
Speaker 3: I'll put it up right now. Right now, they're the

2845
02:12:46,440 --> 02:12:50,760
Speaker 3: three seeds, right and they can't go to the four

2846
02:12:50,840 --> 02:12:53,160
Speaker 3: seed because the Buccaneers are there. The only thing that

2847
02:12:53,360 --> 02:12:56,280
Speaker 3: it could impact is, yeah, whether they're two or three,

2848
02:12:56,440 --> 02:13:00,000
Speaker 3: the way the playoffs breakdown, so the two would play seven,

2849
02:13:00,400 --> 02:13:04,320
Speaker 3: three replaced six. So right now, as constructed, they would

2850
02:13:04,320 --> 02:13:07,760
Speaker 3: play the La Rams, whereas before they played the Seattle Seahawks,

2851
02:13:07,800 --> 02:13:10,600
Speaker 3: and only Dan Camill could tell us which matchup he

2852
02:13:10,600 --> 02:13:14,280
Speaker 3: would rather have. But you're right, it does have implications

2853
02:13:14,680 --> 02:13:17,280
Speaker 3: because if you're not the number one seed, it depends

2854
02:13:17,320 --> 02:13:20,040
Speaker 3: on who you get pitted against in the tournament.

2855
02:13:20,360 --> 02:13:22,680
Speaker 4: Well, because you know, I mean you're the home team,

2856
02:13:22,800 --> 02:13:25,360
Speaker 4: and you know with the Rams and obviously the Seahawks,

2857
02:13:25,680 --> 02:13:28,680
Speaker 4: so you're guaranteed the one home game. But you know,

2858
02:13:29,400 --> 02:13:32,880
Speaker 4: difference of that Detroit crowd. They've traveled very well. But

2859
02:13:33,000 --> 02:13:34,840
Speaker 4: you don't want to put that on people, right, you

2860
02:13:34,920 --> 02:13:38,680
Speaker 4: want home games, you want home dollars, you want home energy,

2861
02:13:39,080 --> 02:13:42,400
Speaker 4: and certainly for what this brand of football has become,

2862
02:13:42,600 --> 02:13:45,320
Speaker 4: so does have some of those ramifications that we'll have

2863
02:13:45,440 --> 02:13:48,920
Speaker 4: to watch as Week seventeen unfolds a little bit later,

2864
02:13:49,080 --> 02:13:51,360
Speaker 4: two games already in the books. We'll get back into

2865
02:13:51,800 --> 02:13:54,320
Speaker 4: Joe Flacco being elite and what he's doing for the

2866
02:13:54,360 --> 02:13:57,960
Speaker 4: Cleveland Browns. As we continue here, it's Fox Football Sunday

2867

2873

2874
02:14:21,840 --> 02:14:25,040

Speaker 4: your National Football League. Happy New Year's Eve. Hopefully you're

2887
02:15:05,560 --> 02:15:07,600
Speaker 4: getting ready for a big night out, whether if it's

2888
02:15:07,720 --> 02:15:11,360
Speaker 4: just watching football to its conclusion. Later on tonight, Packers

2889
02:15:11,880 --> 02:15:16,360
Speaker 4: and Minnesota to finish Week seventeen. That's right, no Monday

2890
02:15:16,440 --> 02:15:19,560
Speaker 4: game this week, because well we've got the college football

2891
02:15:19,680 --> 02:15:22,800
Speaker 4: playoffs and the chaos that ensues there in the overnight.

2892
02:15:22,920 --> 02:15:25,440
Speaker 4: Bucky Brooks, my guy here, Mike Carmon with you here

2893
02:15:25,480 --> 02:15:30,760
Speaker 4: on Fox Football Sunday. Bucky don Yee is now representing

2894
02:15:30,880 --> 02:15:34,560
Speaker 4: Jim Harbaugh as they get ready for the college football playoff.

2895
02:15:35,560 --> 02:15:39,560
Speaker 4: So all of the rumor, conjecture, speculation, and how do

2896
02:15:39,640 --> 02:15:42,480
Speaker 4: we photoshop him in a hat instead of a helmet

2897
02:15:43,200 --> 02:15:45,320
Speaker 4: and uniform like we do with so many players when

2898
02:15:45,360 --> 02:15:48,160
Speaker 4: we're wishing in the offseason, you know, the Dodgers and

2899
02:15:48,560 --> 02:15:52,240
Speaker 4: basically everybody that was a free agent. As we've chuckled

2900
02:15:52,280 --> 02:15:55,360
Speaker 4: here in Los Angeles watching this all unfold, but with

2901
02:15:55,480 --> 02:15:59,320
Speaker 4: Jim Harbaugh now the sweepstakes begin and trying to figure

2902
02:15:59,360 --> 02:16:02,000
Speaker 4: out where there is is a perfect fit should he

2903
02:16:02,360 --> 02:16:03,760
Speaker 4: and Michigan part ways.

2904
02:16:06,880 --> 02:16:10,680
Speaker 3: Look, you want representation to handle these conversations, and I

2905
02:16:10,760 --> 02:16:14,920
Speaker 3: don't know who previously represented Jim Harbaugh in those conversations,

2906
02:16:15,000 --> 02:16:17,839
Speaker 3: but this is gonna be a significant deal and dependent

2907
02:16:17,920 --> 02:16:21,520
Speaker 3: upon how Harbaugh wants certain things in it, whether it's

2908
02:16:21,600 --> 02:16:24,600
Speaker 3: to buy out like if he retain returns to Michigan,

2909
02:16:24,760 --> 02:16:28,680
Speaker 3: to buy out responsibilities and all of that. You're going

2910
02:16:28,760 --> 02:16:31,360
Speaker 3: to get somebody that you're very comfortable with to engage

2911
02:16:31,400 --> 02:16:34,000
Speaker 3: in those discussions. I don't think it means that he's

2912
02:16:34,320 --> 02:16:36,000
Speaker 3: one hundred percent going to the league.

2913
02:16:36,000 --> 02:16:36,840
Speaker 2: I think he wants to.

2914
02:16:37,320 --> 02:16:40,440
Speaker 3: He understands he just turned sixty, so this might be,

2915
02:16:40,560 --> 02:16:43,000
Speaker 3: as I can't say, his final bite at the apple,

2916
02:16:43,040 --> 02:16:45,039
Speaker 3: but it may be his final bite at the apple

2917
02:16:45,280 --> 02:16:46,960
Speaker 3: in some way, shape or form. So he just wants

2918
02:16:46,959 --> 02:16:49,879
Speaker 3: to make sure he gets it right. And who knows

2919
02:16:49,959 --> 02:16:52,080
Speaker 3: what the previous relationship with Doniue was Like.

2920
02:16:52,640 --> 02:16:55,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, we're also talking about all the stuff that's still

2921
02:16:55,280 --> 02:16:58,720
Speaker 4: to come for the University of Michigan and for Jim Harbaugh,

2922
02:16:58,800 --> 02:17:02,160
Speaker 4: the suspensions this year and the specter of what's going around.

2923
02:17:02,240 --> 02:17:07,160
Speaker 4: Remember the the ominous NCAA notes that came out on

2924
02:17:07,320 --> 02:17:10,520
Speaker 4: signing day that are still hanging in the balance. One

2925
02:17:10,560 --> 02:17:13,320
Speaker 4: of the you know, talking points for a deal is

2926
02:17:13,360 --> 02:17:16,039
Speaker 4: evidently at Michigan, Hey, you got to go a year

2927
02:17:16,120 --> 02:17:20,560
Speaker 4: without any flirtation and talking to NFL teams otherwise significant

2928
02:17:20,600 --> 02:17:24,600
Speaker 4: penalties and then certainly if you left, bigger penalties to that.

2929
02:17:24,879 --> 02:17:27,080
Speaker 4: So all of that flows through. And the other part

2930
02:17:27,240 --> 02:17:29,720
Speaker 4: is how much control does he get? You know, he

2931
02:17:29,840 --> 02:17:34,720
Speaker 4: has a liking problem with control, stra and fighting, going

2932
02:17:34,800 --> 02:17:38,440
Speaker 4: back to his time there in San Francisco. Remember how

2933
02:17:38,520 --> 02:17:41,880
Speaker 4: that ended there Trent Balkey and he and and the

2934
02:17:42,480 --> 02:17:45,880
Speaker 4: you know heads and there in San Francisco before he left.

2935
02:17:46,000 --> 02:17:50,000
Speaker 4: So certainly a lot goes through. He is obviously most

2936
02:17:50,040 --> 02:17:54,120
Speaker 4: famous the agent for Brady and maybe to a lesser

2937
02:17:54,200 --> 02:17:57,440
Speaker 4: known status, uh, the aforementioned Sean Payton. See it all

2938
02:17:57,480 --> 02:17:59,879
Speaker 4: comes back through him. We're brought to you by Progressive

02:18:11,160 --> 02:18:13,879
Speaker 4: and that's my nice and easy way of getting into

2944
02:18:13,959 --> 02:18:17,880
Speaker 4: the AFC playoff chase. Obviously a game later on today

2945
02:18:18,240 --> 02:18:21,560
Speaker 4: with some huge playoff implications at the top of the map.

2946
02:18:21,680 --> 02:18:25,680
Speaker 4: When we're talking about Baltimore and Miami and those Cleveland Browns,

2947
02:18:26,400 --> 02:18:30,400
Speaker 4: Miami without Waddle, Miami most likely without most unless there's

2948
02:18:30,480 --> 02:18:33,880
Speaker 4: a post Christmas miracle that happens. It'll be a lot

2949
02:18:33,959 --> 02:18:38,119
Speaker 4: about Devin chan who's also banged up, mind you, as

2950
02:18:38,160 --> 02:18:40,880
Speaker 4: it were, and you know, the offensive line seemingly healthier.

2951
02:18:41,080 --> 02:18:44,840
Speaker 4: But the entryway to this conversation Joe Flacco, is he

2952
02:18:44,920 --> 02:18:48,840
Speaker 4: elite again? Are you buying in? Is it a Festivus miracle?

2953
02:18:49,200 --> 02:18:52,120
Speaker 4: What do we do with Joe Flacco coming off the couch.

2954
02:18:52,400 --> 02:18:53,960
Speaker 4: Is it just that he doesn't care and he's just

2955
02:18:54,000 --> 02:18:56,680
Speaker 4: playing loose and free, because certainly the turnovers are there

2956
02:18:56,760 --> 02:19:00,400
Speaker 4: to go with all the great accolades and no that

2957
02:19:00,440 --> 02:19:01,360
Speaker 4: we've seen go up.

2958
02:19:02,320 --> 02:19:05,160
Speaker 3: The turner, the turners will eventually catch him. Now, you

2959
02:19:05,200 --> 02:19:07,280
Speaker 3: can't keep turning the ball over, you, Joe Flacco. But

2960
02:19:07,920 --> 02:19:12,880
Speaker 3: what he's done, he's prompted Kevin Stefanski to be more

2961
02:19:13,040 --> 02:19:16,520
Speaker 3: aggressive pushing the ball down the field when you push

2962
02:19:16,600 --> 02:19:18,480
Speaker 3: the ball down the field, you loosen the box up,

2963
02:19:18,480 --> 02:19:20,119
Speaker 3: which has allowed their running game.

2964
02:19:20,280 --> 02:19:21,199
Speaker 2: To be successful.

2965
02:19:21,480 --> 02:19:24,440
Speaker 3: He also has utilized the tight end, David and Joku

2966
02:19:24,720 --> 02:19:27,279
Speaker 3: has probably been a fantasy boom since.

2967
02:19:28,160 --> 02:19:30,040
Speaker 4: You just superstart now you kidding?

2968
02:19:30,160 --> 02:19:32,240
Speaker 2: I mean, I mean he's been killing it.

2969
02:19:32,720 --> 02:19:34,880
Speaker 3: The fact that they played without Amary Cooper he still

2970
02:19:34,920 --> 02:19:37,400
Speaker 3: had one hundred yards kind of makes me wonder what

2971
02:19:37,600 --> 02:19:40,000
Speaker 3: Robert Salah and those guys were doing knowing that he

2972
02:19:40,200 --> 02:19:48,280
Speaker 3: was Bible weapon. They obviously aren't listening to the Fantasy pod. Yeah,

2973
02:19:48,440 --> 02:19:49,800
Speaker 3: I mean, they probably aren't paying it.

2974
02:19:50,480 --> 02:19:52,280
Speaker 4: Haven't covered a tight end as long as you and

2975
02:19:52,360 --> 02:19:52,840
Speaker 4: I have been.

2976
02:19:52,760 --> 02:19:56,360
Speaker 2: Alive, which is baffling to me, right, I mean, that's.

2977
02:19:56,200 --> 02:19:58,560
Speaker 4: A yearly thing for them. That that is no uh

2978
02:19:59,080 --> 02:20:02,840
Speaker 4: no joke right now in Djoku fifth at that the

2979
02:20:02,920 --> 02:20:07,000
Speaker 4: position through sixteen weeks unbelievable.

2980
02:20:07,080 --> 02:20:07,200
Speaker 2: Right.

2981
02:20:07,480 --> 02:20:10,480
Speaker 3: So he's doing his thing and they're having a lot

2982
02:20:10,520 --> 02:20:14,880
Speaker 3: of success because he's kind of been able to control

2983
02:20:14,920 --> 02:20:17,240
Speaker 3: the middle of the field. Joe Flacco has done that.

2984
02:20:17,400 --> 02:20:20,720
Speaker 3: He's given them confidence and because Joe is so good,

2985
02:20:20,800 --> 02:20:24,960
Speaker 3: and I would say this is probably underrated. Joe Flacco

2986
02:20:25,000 --> 02:20:26,800
Speaker 3: has one of those shiny things that everyone in the

2987
02:20:26,840 --> 02:20:27,640
Speaker 3: locker room points.

2988
02:20:28,120 --> 02:20:29,280
Speaker 2: So when he stands and.

2989
02:20:29,400 --> 02:20:31,320
Speaker 3: Talks in front of the team and he talks about

2990
02:20:31,360 --> 02:20:34,040
Speaker 3: little things, Hey, guys, we need to do this, it

2991
02:20:34,160 --> 02:20:37,320
Speaker 3: falls on willing Ears because he has one one.

2992
02:20:37,600 --> 02:20:39,000
Speaker 2: He does have those stories.

2993
02:20:39,080 --> 02:20:42,119
Speaker 3: And look, that's something that Deshaun Watson can't tell those guys.

2994
02:20:42,400 --> 02:20:44,600
Speaker 3: Deshaun Watson couldn't tell them how to go to a

2995
02:20:44,640 --> 02:20:46,160
Speaker 3: super Bowl, what it looks like, what it's going to

2996
02:20:46,200 --> 02:20:47,640
Speaker 3: be like, how we got to pick it up. Our

2997
02:20:47,680 --> 02:20:50,720
Speaker 3: preparation has to be these things Joe Flacco does. So

2998
02:20:50,840 --> 02:20:54,360
Speaker 3: there's some credibility. Even though his skills might have diminished,

2999
02:20:54,840 --> 02:20:56,520
Speaker 3: there's some credibility.

3000
02:20:55,920 --> 02:20:57,880
Speaker 2: That comes along with being able to pull out that

3001
02:20:58,000 --> 02:21:00,520
Speaker 2: little box and show everybody hardware.

3002
02:21:00,680 --> 02:21:00,840
Speaker 1: Yeah.

3003
02:21:00,840 --> 02:21:03,000
Speaker 4: I know it's a lot of years later, but when

3004
02:21:03,040 --> 02:21:07,039
Speaker 4: we talk about great runs and improbabilities, the great chaos

3005
02:21:07,160 --> 02:21:11,000
Speaker 4: right his and then obviously you've got the Super Bowl

3006
02:21:11,080 --> 02:21:14,080
Speaker 4: runs of Eli Manning mixed in, But Joe Flacco, that

3007
02:21:14,320 --> 02:21:16,680
Speaker 4: playoff run is one of the best we've ever seen

3008
02:21:16,720 --> 02:21:19,440
Speaker 4: a guy betting on himself, putting up huge numbers. Like

3009
02:21:19,520 --> 02:21:22,119
Speaker 4: if you want a motivational speaker in that locker room,

3010
02:21:22,600 --> 02:21:24,199
Speaker 4: I don't know that you can get to somebody better.

3011
02:21:25,600 --> 02:21:28,160
Speaker 4: Uh no from a football stand and obviously I don't

3012
02:21:28,160 --> 02:21:29,280
Speaker 4: want to go down on himself.

3013
02:21:29,400 --> 02:21:33,120
Speaker 2: It worked out. He became super duper rich.

3014
02:21:33,320 --> 02:21:36,280
Speaker 3: I mean like after doing it, because the Ravens were

3015
02:21:36,360 --> 02:21:38,800
Speaker 3: undecided on whether to keep him. He goes on a run,

3016
02:21:38,879 --> 02:21:41,400
Speaker 3: they go, he goes but eleven and one in the

3017
02:21:41,440 --> 02:21:43,320
Speaker 3: playoffs touchdown to interception ratio.

3018
02:21:43,920 --> 02:21:45,560
Speaker 2: Uh don't think that also.

3019
02:21:45,400 --> 02:21:47,520
Speaker 3: Doesn't give them confidence when they get into the tournament

3020
02:21:48,080 --> 02:21:50,320
Speaker 3: because you know, for all of the jokes that we

3021
02:21:50,400 --> 02:21:53,720
Speaker 3: had about Joe Flacco and Baltimore what he wasn't his

3022
02:21:53,800 --> 02:21:55,160
Speaker 3: playoff record is pretty.

3023
02:21:54,879 --> 02:21:58,360
Speaker 4: Good well and if you know in Djoku can stay

3024
02:21:58,440 --> 02:22:03,039
Speaker 4: this guy Ford and care Hunt taking up very well

3025
02:22:03,240 --> 02:22:07,000
Speaker 4: for the absence of Nick Chubb. Seems like so long

3026
02:22:07,080 --> 02:22:10,680
Speaker 4: ago that he got hurt. We've gone the whole season

3027
02:22:10,720 --> 02:22:12,880
Speaker 4: and they keep rolling on. And even if the defense

3028
02:22:13,000 --> 02:22:16,480
Speaker 4: isn't as dominant as it was the early part of

3029
02:22:16,520 --> 02:22:20,360
Speaker 4: the season, still, you know, one of the more more

3030
02:22:20,440 --> 02:22:25,200
Speaker 4: difficult defenses to navigate in the NFL. So opportunity we

3031
02:22:25,320 --> 02:22:27,800
Speaker 4: look at the the other matchup for the day because

3032
02:22:27,959 --> 02:22:29,720
Speaker 4: you know, we got to get excited about it. As

3033
02:22:29,760 --> 02:22:33,160
Speaker 4: I'm seeing b roll of fans in Baltimore out there

3034
02:22:33,280 --> 02:22:36,600
Speaker 4: celebrating getting their tailgate on. You've got the Ravens coming

3035
02:22:36,640 --> 02:22:39,000
Speaker 4: off of the SmackDown on the forty nine ers, and

3036
02:22:39,120 --> 02:22:43,240
Speaker 4: once again it became the the indictment, the hatred, whatever

3037
02:22:43,280 --> 02:22:46,320
Speaker 4: people are looking for to pick at brock Birdie. It happened.

3038
02:22:46,720 --> 02:22:48,879
Speaker 4: He just happened to have a game, Bucky, at least,

3039
02:22:49,120 --> 02:22:51,840
Speaker 4: you know, somewhat to my estimation. Now was he clean? No,

3040
02:22:52,520 --> 02:22:57,280
Speaker 4: but every ball that bounced went against him, which you know,

3041
02:22:57,440 --> 02:23:01,480
Speaker 4: the the odds of every tip ball falling safely into

3042
02:23:01,560 --> 02:23:04,720
Speaker 4: the arms of a defender man that that generally doesn't

3043
02:23:04,760 --> 02:23:08,520
Speaker 4: happen with regularity, but in a game in a national

3044
02:23:08,640 --> 02:23:12,640
Speaker 4: spotlight gets everybody chirping, and for Lamar Jackson pushed him

3045
02:23:12,680 --> 02:23:14,879
Speaker 4: to the front of the MVP conversation.

3046
02:23:16,560 --> 02:23:18,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's funny.

3047
02:23:18,680 --> 02:23:20,720
Speaker 3: We're so fixated that it has to be a quarterback

3048
02:23:20,720 --> 02:23:23,880
Speaker 3: that's going to MVP because we're looking for credit as

3049
02:23:23,920 --> 02:23:26,520
Speaker 3: opposed to those things. I think this is a huge

3050
02:23:26,560 --> 02:23:29,280
Speaker 3: game for Tyreek Hill if Tyreek Hill, because Tyrek Hill

3051
02:23:29,360 --> 02:23:32,800
Speaker 3: is about three hundred and sixty three hundred eighty yards

3052
02:23:32,840 --> 02:23:35,879
Speaker 3: maybe away from going to two thousand. If he has

3053
02:23:35,920 --> 02:23:38,600
Speaker 3: a big game today and they win, and then he

3054
02:23:38,720 --> 02:23:41,000
Speaker 3: goes over two thousand in Week eighteen.

3055
02:23:41,320 --> 02:23:43,080
Speaker 2: I think he becomes the MVP.

3056
02:23:43,440 --> 02:23:45,760
Speaker 3: Because at that point, I don't know if you can

3057
02:23:45,800 --> 02:23:47,680
Speaker 3: make a case for any of the quarterbacks that are

3058
02:23:47,760 --> 02:23:51,040
Speaker 3: vying for the award, they're a clear cut winner. Dak

3059
02:23:51,080 --> 02:23:53,000
Speaker 3: Prescott was in the conversation, but I don't know if

3060
02:23:53,000 --> 02:23:57,080
Speaker 3: anyone feels like he was the MVP Lamar Jackson. If

3061
02:23:57,120 --> 02:23:58,920
Speaker 3: they finish it out, yeah, you can give him the

3062
02:23:59,000 --> 02:24:00,520
Speaker 3: MVP Quarterback of the best team.

3063
02:24:00,600 --> 02:24:02,440
Speaker 2: He's had a huge impact on that.

3064
02:24:02,600 --> 02:24:05,280
Speaker 3: Okay, it works, But if not, this is the perfect

3065
02:24:05,320 --> 02:24:10,280
Speaker 3: year to go elsewhere looking for that award winner. And

3066
02:24:10,760 --> 02:24:12,640
Speaker 3: if it's not gonna be Christian McCaffrey because he and

3067
02:24:12,760 --> 02:24:15,280
Speaker 3: brock perty has split the vote, then Tyreek Hilled is

3068
02:24:15,320 --> 02:24:17,039
Speaker 3: the next viable option to be able.

3069
02:24:16,920 --> 02:24:19,280
Speaker 2: To get it if his team finishes it out with

3070
02:24:19,400 --> 02:24:19,760
Speaker 2: a bang.

3071
02:24:20,320 --> 02:24:21,120
Speaker 1: How about No.

3072
02:24:21,280 --> 02:24:23,320
Speaker 4: I was gonna say, let's go to the defensive side

3073
02:24:23,360 --> 02:24:25,960
Speaker 4: and try to find some diamonds as well, but we

3074
02:24:26,520 --> 02:24:28,960
Speaker 4: know that's a bridge too far. Trying to look at

3075
02:24:29,000 --> 02:24:32,600
Speaker 4: Miles Garrett and if you didn't have the skid for

3076
02:24:32,720 --> 02:24:36,360
Speaker 4: your Jaguars, I mean Josh Allen was having a ridiculous

3077
02:24:36,440 --> 02:24:38,920
Speaker 4: year for them to where we were. I think people

3078
02:24:38,959 --> 02:24:42,160
Speaker 4: were finally recognizing there's two guys named Josh Allen playing

3079
02:24:42,200 --> 02:24:43,320
Speaker 4: in the National Football League.

3080
02:24:45,320 --> 02:24:47,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, that is funny.

3081
02:24:48,000 --> 02:24:50,600
Speaker 3: Now it's funny that you bring up to Josh allenin

3082
02:24:50,840 --> 02:24:53,440
Speaker 3: because I think Josh Allentine could could get some legs.

3083
02:24:53,600 --> 02:24:55,959
Speaker 3: Let's just say they finish off with two more wins,

3084
02:24:56,320 --> 02:24:58,840
Speaker 3: finish eleven and six. You think about the way that

3085
02:24:58,920 --> 02:25:01,720
Speaker 3: he has played, He has some superhero moments that you

3086
02:25:01,760 --> 02:25:05,040
Speaker 3: could probably justify it. This team has gotten hot. If

3087
02:25:05,080 --> 02:25:07,720
Speaker 3: they win the AFC East, you can kind of have

3088
02:25:07,920 --> 02:25:11,680
Speaker 3: that conversation about him doing it. It wouldn't be, in

3089
02:25:11,800 --> 02:25:14,520
Speaker 3: my mind any different than giving it to Lamar Jackson.

3090
02:25:14,879 --> 02:25:17,600
Speaker 3: It's just a matter of the Buffalo Bills finishing fast.

3091
02:25:17,760 --> 02:25:20,560
Speaker 3: And then to romanticize the story, we could talk about,

3092
02:25:20,600 --> 02:25:22,000
Speaker 3: oh in the middle of the year and how they

3093
02:25:22,040 --> 02:25:23,879
Speaker 3: were on Sean mcdermomy.

3094
02:25:23,440 --> 02:25:26,119
Speaker 2: He had the fire Ken Dorsey. The article comes out

3095
02:25:26,120 --> 02:25:27,120
Speaker 2: about how he.

3096
02:25:28,959 --> 02:25:33,120
Speaker 3: Misappropriated nine to eleven and the terrorists and how it

3097
02:25:33,200 --> 02:25:34,760
Speaker 3: was just a bad thing. And look at this team

3098
02:25:34,800 --> 02:25:37,200
Speaker 3: bounce back and Josh Allen is the hero to save today.

3099
02:25:37,600 --> 02:25:39,760
Speaker 3: You know, we love a story, so I mean, there

3100
02:25:39,800 --> 02:25:42,800
Speaker 3: are ways to do it, but I don't know, man,

3101
02:25:42,879 --> 02:25:46,520
Speaker 3: Like it's up and down. It's the wackiest MVP race

3102
02:25:46,600 --> 02:25:49,000
Speaker 3: that we've been in. When was the last time it's

3103
02:25:49,000 --> 02:25:50,959
Speaker 3: been a race that we couldn't have a clear cut

3104
02:25:52,040 --> 02:25:54,960
Speaker 3: got a clear cut favorite.

3105
02:25:55,680 --> 02:26:00,240
Speaker 4: I just saw the wackiness as you term it. I

3106
02:26:00,280 --> 02:26:03,520
Speaker 4: think it's been eight different favorites in terms of the

3107
02:26:03,600 --> 02:26:06,440
Speaker 4: betting line, the way it's moved back and forth throughout

3108
02:26:06,480 --> 02:26:11,199
Speaker 4: the year, and right now you've got Lamar as the favorite,

3109
02:26:11,280 --> 02:26:15,360
Speaker 4: with McCaffrey second to as the third, and then Josh

3110
02:26:15,440 --> 02:26:18,440
Speaker 4: Allen's fourth. I mean, when we talk about numbers, right

3111
02:26:18,520 --> 02:26:21,800
Speaker 4: we get to Josh Allen, He's already had forty total

3112
02:26:21,920 --> 02:26:24,320
Speaker 4: touchdowns for the year. It's got to go over four

3113
02:26:24,400 --> 02:26:28,279
Speaker 4: thousand passing yards today. I mean, all of those gaudy

3114
02:26:28,400 --> 02:26:31,600
Speaker 4: numbers are there, just the wins aren't. And for Stefan

3115
02:26:31,720 --> 02:26:35,320
Speaker 4: Diggs's fantasy owners, they're wondering where his stats are in

3116
02:26:35,440 --> 02:26:36,279
Speaker 4: all of the greatness.

3117
02:26:37,879 --> 02:26:39,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's so funny how crazy it is.

3118
02:26:40,040 --> 02:26:42,880
Speaker 3: They've been running the ball with James Cook until he

3119
02:26:42,920 --> 02:26:45,640
Speaker 3: fumba twice last week, and we saw Gay Davis siding.

3120
02:26:46,320 --> 02:26:49,039
Speaker 2: Some other guys have kind of popped up as Josh's man.

3121
02:26:49,120 --> 02:26:53,120
Speaker 4: That guy's like a cicada like ghost, quiet, and then

3122
02:26:53,120 --> 02:26:55,680
Speaker 4: all of a sudden he's yet real chirpy and has

3123
02:26:55,760 --> 02:26:58,320
Speaker 4: a big game. Like there he is, that's the guy

3124
02:26:58,400 --> 02:27:00,520
Speaker 4: I drafted. Oh he's on I betch you.

3125
02:27:02,480 --> 02:27:02,520
Speaker 2: Know.

3126
02:27:03,320 --> 02:27:06,840
Speaker 3: It is one of the more fascinating things, like watching

3127
02:27:06,920 --> 02:27:08,800
Speaker 3: him get down and watching him kind of pick up.

3128
02:27:09,280 --> 02:27:11,760
Speaker 2: His game and make plays. But a lot of the

3129
02:27:11,800 --> 02:27:14,360
Speaker 2: plays that he makes on those scramble tosses. Yeah, you know,

3130
02:27:15,000 --> 02:27:17,240
Speaker 2: Josh doing his thing well.

3131
02:27:17,280 --> 02:27:20,360
Speaker 4: For better or for worse, and certainly a lot of worse.

3132
02:27:20,760 --> 02:27:23,040
Speaker 4: Earlier the season in the you know, caught in the Margins.

3133
02:27:23,040 --> 02:27:25,680
Speaker 4: I heard you and Andy find the podcast wherever you

3134
02:27:25,720 --> 02:27:30,200
Speaker 4: get your podcasts. Everybody Fox Football Sunday, look for Furman

3135
02:27:30,320 --> 02:27:33,840
Speaker 4: and Brooks, Furman, Brooks, Harmon, et cetera. The combinations. But

3136
02:27:33,920 --> 02:27:36,440
Speaker 4: you guys were talking about it a little bit earlier

3137
02:27:36,480 --> 02:27:40,000
Speaker 4: when when with Bill Belichick right in the margins, right,

3138
02:27:40,120 --> 02:27:45,800
Speaker 4: the one possession losses, the effort of the defense, coaching

3139
02:27:46,000 --> 02:27:48,880
Speaker 4: and ability and all of those kind of decisions, and

3140
02:27:49,040 --> 02:27:52,560
Speaker 4: how narrow the edges in most of these games, just

3141
02:27:52,640 --> 02:27:56,039
Speaker 4: like we saw again in the Big Showcase last night, right,

3142
02:27:56,120 --> 02:27:58,960
Speaker 4: don't believe it go to the judges. But same thing

3143
02:27:59,080 --> 02:28:01,160
Speaker 4: here is, you know, go back to those early games,

3144
02:28:01,240 --> 02:28:04,800
Speaker 4: Josh Allen. One more play, one fewer negative play, one

3145
02:28:04,879 --> 02:28:07,840
Speaker 4: more stop by a defense, like all of those things

3146
02:28:08,160 --> 02:28:11,840
Speaker 4: come to bear, and certainly in the NFL it's a

3147
02:28:11,879 --> 02:28:15,960
Speaker 4: one possession league. James Cook for those that have in

3148
02:28:16,040 --> 02:28:19,280
Speaker 4: tracked this one, he is third in the NFL in

3149
02:28:19,480 --> 02:28:24,440
Speaker 4: rushing yardage, behind Kyron Williams Fantasy MVP and Christian McCaffrey,

3150
02:28:24,520 --> 02:28:26,880
Speaker 4: who would have been your number one overall pick his

3151
02:28:27,000 --> 02:28:30,800
Speaker 4: Fantasy championship week. Hence all of Bucky and I kind

3152
02:28:30,840 --> 02:28:32,920
Speaker 4: of diving in and adding a little bit of those

3153
02:28:33,000 --> 02:28:35,400
Speaker 4: nuggets as we go through the games of the day.

3154
02:28:35,800 --> 02:28:38,320
Speaker 4: But you know who else has a ton of goodness

3155
02:28:38,440 --> 02:28:42,480
Speaker 4: for us morsels coming down the wire, And certainly I

3156
02:28:42,560 --> 02:28:44,800
Speaker 4: have no doubt he's got Joe Bob eighty seven to

3157
02:28:44,879 --> 02:28:48,080
Speaker 4: twenty four from Flint off his Twitter account ready to

3158
02:28:48,200 --> 02:28:51,600
Speaker 4: chime in on the Detroit Lions Dallas Cowboys game of

3159
02:28:51,680 --> 02:28:54,560
Speaker 4: last Night's a guy, Isaac Lowigron, He's got what's trending,

3160
02:28:54,600 --> 02:28:54,960
Speaker 4: what's going on?

3161
02:28:55,120 --> 02:28:57,640
Speaker 9: Ilo well, what's going on in good morning, fellas is

3162
02:28:57,720 --> 02:29:00,800
Speaker 9: a new detail that has just emerged in the Russell

3163
02:29:01,040 --> 02:29:02,000
Speaker 9: Wilson situation.

3164
02:29:02,120 --> 02:29:02,440
Speaker 1: Let's go.

3165
02:29:02,760 --> 02:29:06,160
Speaker 9: The Washington Post has just obtained a letter from the

3166
02:29:06,440 --> 02:29:10,959
Speaker 9: NFL Players Association to the NFL and the Broncos dated

3167
02:29:11,200 --> 02:29:15,440
Speaker 9: November fourth, that reads, in part, and I quote, it

3168
02:29:15,520 --> 02:29:19,400
Speaker 9: has come to our attention that the Broncos recently informed

3169
02:29:19,560 --> 02:29:24,040
Speaker 9: mister Wilson that if he does not renegotiate his player

3170
02:29:24,160 --> 02:29:28,920
Speaker 9: contract to relinquish certain salary guarantees, the Broncos would remove

3171
02:29:29,040 --> 02:29:32,440
Speaker 9: him from the starting lineup. If the Broncos follow through

3172
02:29:32,680 --> 02:29:35,760
Speaker 9: on the club's threat, the club will violate the collective

3173
02:29:35,879 --> 02:29:40,080
Speaker 9: bargaining agreement, mister Wilson's player contract, and New York law.

3174
02:29:40,520 --> 02:29:45,160
Speaker 9: And we are particularly concerned that the Broncos still intend

3175
02:29:45,360 --> 02:29:50,440
Speaker 9: to commit these violations under the guise of coaching decisions.

3176
02:29:51,040 --> 02:29:54,680
Speaker 9: Unquote again that part of a letter dated November fourth,

3177
02:29:55,000 --> 02:29:58,519
Speaker 9: obtained by The Washington Post from the NFL Players Association

3178
02:29:58,680 --> 02:30:01,760
Speaker 9: to the NFL, the Broncos to Sean Payton.

3179
02:30:01,560 --> 02:30:04,440
Speaker 4: Gets suspended again. I mean, he's already a violator on

3180
02:30:04,520 --> 02:30:10,080
Speaker 4: the rules. I mean, you know, hey, Bucky, multiple violators.

3181
02:30:10,080 --> 02:30:13,000
Speaker 3: This is Yeah, it's a significant deal. You can't do that, man,

3182
02:30:13,000 --> 02:30:14,960
Speaker 3: you can't redo the deal once it's done like that,

3183
02:30:15,440 --> 02:30:16,320
Speaker 3: like what you're doing.

3184
02:30:16,760 --> 02:30:17,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, you can't do that.

3185
02:30:17,800 --> 02:30:21,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, we're gonna know Mark Rodgers' name. He's Russell Wilson's agent.

3186
02:30:21,600 --> 02:30:24,520
Speaker 1: There you go. There, you go from one controversy to another.

3187
02:30:24,640 --> 02:30:27,480
Speaker 9: Because on Saturday Night football, the Dallas Cowboys pulled out

3188
02:30:27,480 --> 02:30:30,160
Speaker 9: a twenty to nineteen win over the Detroit Lions, and

3189
02:30:30,200 --> 02:30:32,840
Speaker 9: a parent go ahead two point conversion by the Lions

3190
02:30:32,879 --> 02:30:35,920
Speaker 9: with twenty three seconds left to offensive tackle Taylor Decker

3191
02:30:36,440 --> 02:30:40,360
Speaker 9: nullified because referee Brad Allen ruled that offensive lineman Dan

3192
02:30:40,600 --> 02:30:44,760
Speaker 9: Skipper reported as an eligible receiver, but the Decker did not.

3193
02:30:45,040 --> 02:30:48,600
Speaker 9: The Lions say Decker did report as eligible, but the

3194
02:30:48,840 --> 02:30:52,240
Speaker 9: Skipper did not. And in case people out there are wondering,

3195
02:30:52,400 --> 02:30:57,840
Speaker 9: before the play, Allen did announce Skipper, who wears number seventy,

3196
02:30:58,160 --> 02:31:01,640
Speaker 9: as the eligible player because the audio of him doing

3197
02:31:01,720 --> 02:31:05,840
Speaker 9: so was caught on the Spanish Yeah it was broadcast.

3198
02:31:06,320 --> 02:31:07,400
Speaker 9: Listen closely, but.

3199
02:31:13,400 --> 02:31:13,840
Speaker 1: There it is.

3200
02:31:15,440 --> 02:31:19,720
Speaker 9: Here are the comments in the aftermath, First from Lions

3201
02:31:19,800 --> 02:31:21,280
Speaker 9: head coach Dan Campbell.

3202
02:31:21,400 --> 02:31:24,480
Speaker 5: I don't want to talk about it, all right, I

3203
02:31:24,560 --> 02:31:28,720
Speaker 5: explained everything pre game to a t Okay, I did

3204
02:31:28,800 --> 02:31:34,280
Speaker 5: that Sunday reporting fifty eight didn't or sixty eight didn't

3205
02:31:34,280 --> 02:31:35,200
Speaker 5: we hear a sixty eight?

3206
02:31:35,320 --> 02:31:36,240
Speaker 2: That was the explanation.

3207
02:31:36,600 --> 02:31:39,400
Speaker 9: Campbell then tap the podium with his index finger and

3208
02:31:39,480 --> 02:31:42,800
Speaker 9: the podium shattered into a thousand pieces. Here is Jared Goff,

3209
02:31:42,879 --> 02:31:43,800
Speaker 9: the Lions quarterback.

3210
02:31:43,879 --> 02:31:45,000
Speaker 3: What I do know and I don't know if I'll

3211
02:31:45,000 --> 02:31:46,880
Speaker 3: get fine for this, but I do know that Decker reported,

3212
02:31:46,959 --> 02:31:49,080
Speaker 3: I do know that Dance Skipper did not, and I

3213
02:31:49,160 --> 02:31:50,840
Speaker 3: do know that they said that Dan Skipper did.

3214
02:31:51,440 --> 02:31:55,080
Speaker 9: So it's unfortunate, you know what in the grand scheme

3215
02:31:55,160 --> 02:31:57,920
Speaker 9: of things for the city of Detroit. On Saturday night,

3216
02:31:58,040 --> 02:32:00,280
Speaker 9: it was a net positive and that's because that Troy

3217
02:32:00,360 --> 02:32:04,680
Speaker 9: Peston's won in the NBA broke their NBA single season

3218
02:32:04,800 --> 02:32:08,280
Speaker 9: record twenty eight game losing streak with a one twenty nine,

3219
02:32:08,480 --> 02:32:11,960
Speaker 9: one twenty seven win over the Toronto Raptors. Also on

3220
02:32:12,120 --> 02:32:14,600
Speaker 9: Saturday night, the Minnesota Timberwolves, if he did the Los

3221
02:32:14,640 --> 02:32:17,240
Speaker 9: Angeles Lakers one away to one oh six to improve

3222
02:32:17,440 --> 02:32:20,080
Speaker 9: fourteen and one at home. The Lakers have lost seven

3223
02:32:20,160 --> 02:32:24,680
Speaker 9: of ten, and Tyrese Halliburton had twenty three assists in

3224
02:32:24,760 --> 02:32:27,680
Speaker 9: the Indiana Pacers one forty to one twenty six win

3225
02:32:27,800 --> 02:32:31,240
Speaker 9: over the New York Knicks. Tyme of franchise record fellas.

3226
02:32:31,560 --> 02:32:34,480
Speaker 4: Back to you, Hallo, I'd love that you found that sound.

3227
02:32:34,600 --> 02:32:36,840
Speaker 4: I saw it last night and Mike does it come through?

3228
02:32:36,920 --> 02:32:39,920
Speaker 4: So whatever you did in your audio wizardry to make

3229
02:32:40,000 --> 02:32:42,680
Speaker 4: that stand out, it didn't pop for me that number

3230
02:32:42,800 --> 02:32:45,680
Speaker 4: seventy quite to the same level that I felt fit

3231
02:32:45,760 --> 02:32:46,920
Speaker 4: to broadcast, So thank you.

3232
02:32:47,160 --> 02:32:51,039
Speaker 9: The hard part was using AI to translate Brad Allen

3233
02:32:51,280 --> 02:32:52,640
Speaker 9: making that announcement.

3234
02:32:52,200 --> 02:32:53,240
Speaker 1: From Spanish into England.

3235
02:32:53,360 --> 02:32:53,560
Speaker 2: Good.

3236
02:32:53,680 --> 02:32:56,160
Speaker 9: Now, it's amazing what technology can do these.

3237
02:32:56,120 --> 02:33:00,520
Speaker 4: Days, technology and stuff at Isaac Lohenkron You find him

3238
02:33:00,680 --> 02:33:05,480
Speaker 4: and look later on he's got the Chargers and the Broncos. Yeah,

3239
02:33:06,480 --> 02:33:10,879
Speaker 4: so yeah, tune in for his goodness before during after

3240
02:33:11,000 --> 02:33:12,680
Speaker 4: the game for that. But what do you make of

3241
02:33:12,840 --> 02:33:15,400
Speaker 4: the letter that he read there, Bucky? I mean, that's

3242
02:33:15,640 --> 02:33:18,840
Speaker 4: pretty significant stuff. Like we know, behind the scenes you

3243
02:33:18,879 --> 02:33:22,120
Speaker 4: always have these conversations and a lot of that go through.

3244
02:33:22,280 --> 02:33:25,320
Speaker 4: But when we're talking about a quarterback with the largess

3245
02:33:25,400 --> 02:33:29,160
Speaker 4: of that contract, Russ had no reason to be quiet

3246
02:33:29,200 --> 02:33:32,960
Speaker 4: about it, right because it's especially once Peyton went to

3247
02:33:33,080 --> 02:33:35,800
Speaker 4: the I can't replace this guy, that guy, other other

3248
02:33:36,520 --> 02:33:38,160
Speaker 4: and trying to do the dance like it was all

3249
02:33:38,240 --> 02:33:42,200
Speaker 4: for football reasons, because Russ is fighting for whatever is

3250
02:33:42,320 --> 02:33:44,000
Speaker 4: left of his professional life here.

3251
02:33:44,879 --> 02:33:46,840
Speaker 3: Well not only that, like let's just say Russ is

3252
02:33:47,280 --> 02:33:49,600
Speaker 3: bigger than that, right, Russ is gonna get his money regardless,

3253
02:33:49,800 --> 02:33:53,520
Speaker 3: But Russ is letting us know about an injustice because

3254
02:33:53,680 --> 02:33:55,600
Speaker 3: if the Broncos were able to get away with that

3255
02:33:55,879 --> 02:33:58,200
Speaker 3: for Russ, what's going to stop them for doing it

3256
02:33:58,240 --> 02:34:02,760
Speaker 3: for Devonte Williams or pass nobody else all down the line.

3257
02:34:02,800 --> 02:34:06,279
Speaker 3: And so if you're going to sign players to these contracts,

3258
02:34:06,680 --> 02:34:09,160
Speaker 3: you have to honor the contract. And I know we

3259
02:34:09,360 --> 02:34:13,120
Speaker 3: on the outside, like casuals and fans, we don't like

3260
02:34:13,240 --> 02:34:15,359
Speaker 3: to side with players in these.

3261
02:34:17,080 --> 02:34:20,160
Speaker 2: Disagreements, but hey man, what's right is right?

3262
02:34:20,480 --> 02:34:22,640
Speaker 3: And you can't sign Russell to a deal, have all

3263
02:34:22,720 --> 02:34:25,640
Speaker 3: these guarantees put in it, and then at a women decide, oh, yeah,

3264
02:34:25,640 --> 02:34:26,120
Speaker 3: we don't want to.

3265
02:34:26,080 --> 02:34:27,960
Speaker 2: Pay for that, and if you don't play, we're gonna

3266
02:34:27,959 --> 02:34:30,920
Speaker 2: sit you down discussion with him.

3267
02:34:31,360 --> 02:34:32,920
Speaker 4: The other is the threat of.

3268
02:34:34,160 --> 02:34:35,640
Speaker 2: Yeah that that's not how it goes.

3269
02:34:35,720 --> 02:34:37,240
Speaker 3: You don't get a chance to do that if you

3270
02:34:37,280 --> 02:34:39,880
Speaker 3: want to sit me down, cool, But my contract is

3271
02:34:39,959 --> 02:34:40,640
Speaker 3: my contract.

3272
02:34:40,720 --> 02:34:42,960
Speaker 2: That has nothing to do with any of that.

3273
02:34:43,560 --> 02:34:46,080
Speaker 3: So now it's it's a black eye, and old Sean

3274
02:34:46,160 --> 02:34:49,440
Speaker 3: Payton has kind of walked himself into another little bounty

3275
02:34:49,480 --> 02:34:54,280
Speaker 3: gate situation where somebody told Russell that. Now we got

3276
02:34:54,360 --> 02:34:58,320
Speaker 3: to figure out who told Russell that, because Seawan is wrong.

3277
02:34:58,440 --> 02:35:00,240
Speaker 3: If he did it, and if it came from their

3278
02:35:00,280 --> 02:35:02,680
Speaker 3: management team, that's a different a different deal.

3279
02:35:02,840 --> 02:35:04,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, but nobody's buying that.

3280
02:35:04,120 --> 02:35:08,320
Speaker 4: He's his hand isn't in it, like that plausible deniability, like,

3281
02:35:08,680 --> 02:35:11,000
Speaker 4: wh I'll only let that go so far, Bucky.

3282
02:35:10,920 --> 02:35:12,440
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know if you saw as comments on Friday,

3283
02:35:12,480 --> 02:35:13,840
Speaker 2: he was like, why I'm not privy to what was it?

3284
02:35:14,080 --> 02:35:14,160
Speaker 8: Oh?

3285
02:35:14,240 --> 02:35:14,640
Speaker 4: Exactly?

3286
02:35:14,959 --> 02:35:15,000
Speaker 8: No.

3287
02:35:15,160 --> 02:35:17,040
Speaker 4: He got out in front of that as fast as

3288
02:35:17,080 --> 02:35:17,400
Speaker 4: he could.

3289
02:35:17,520 --> 02:35:19,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you're not privy, okay.

3290
02:35:19,560 --> 02:35:21,280
Speaker 4: And nobody's nobody's buying that.

3291
02:35:22,360 --> 02:35:25,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh yeah, shine, like you didn't know, you didn't know.

3292
02:35:25,600 --> 02:35:26,800
Speaker 2: This just came out of nowhere.

3293
02:35:26,959 --> 02:35:31,320
Speaker 3: Like the negotiator just said, Oh, if Russell doesn't do it,

3294
02:35:31,320 --> 02:35:32,160
Speaker 3: we're gonna sit him down.

3295
02:35:32,400 --> 02:35:33,920
Speaker 2: The negotiator doesn't know who plays.

3296
02:35:34,200 --> 02:35:37,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, those two things running in parallel yeah, I was

3297
02:35:37,160 --> 02:35:40,080
Speaker 4: gonna make a football decision at the same time that

3298
02:35:40,240 --> 02:35:41,520
Speaker 4: this recident.

3299
02:35:41,720 --> 02:35:44,520
Speaker 2: How about that this is a coincidence that, yeah, we

3300
02:35:44,840 --> 02:35:45,880
Speaker 2: were thinking about sitting them.

3301
02:35:45,920 --> 02:35:49,160
Speaker 4: Now, Wow, how dumb do people?

3302
02:35:49,240 --> 02:35:49,400
Speaker 1: Wow?

3303
02:35:49,879 --> 02:35:52,960
Speaker 4: I shouldn't ask that question, because we've certainly seen plenty

3304
02:35:53,000 --> 02:35:56,720
Speaker 4: of instances of people in the in every sphere of

3305
02:35:56,879 --> 02:36:00,840

Speaker 4: the great moments. Always love celebrating some of the history

3336
02:37:38,959 --> 02:37:41,520
Speaker 4: of the game. And for the Cowboys, Hey, you know,

3337
02:37:41,600 --> 02:37:44,240
Speaker 4: why not go back thirty years to try to spur

3338
02:37:44,400 --> 02:37:46,560
Speaker 4: on the team as they flow through here in twenty

3339
02:37:46,640 --> 02:37:47,119
Speaker 4: twenty three.

3340
02:37:48,520 --> 02:37:52,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, they turn back the clock. Big glory you

3341
02:37:52,480 --> 02:37:55,400
Speaker 3: is jim Johnson coming back. We saw the triplets, We

3342
02:37:55,440 --> 02:37:58,360
Speaker 3: saw Troy and Emmett and IRV and some of the

3343
02:37:58,440 --> 02:38:02,440
Speaker 3: other great stare. Now is a great celebration and when

3344
02:38:02,480 --> 02:38:05,520
Speaker 3: you have that, because to me, what is interesting and

3345
02:38:05,600 --> 02:38:08,080
Speaker 3: I think you know this as a uniform, got the

3346
02:38:08,120 --> 02:38:11,440
Speaker 3: Cowboys wearing blue at home, Like anyone who follows the

3347
02:38:11,440 --> 02:38:14,080
Speaker 3: Cowboys know they always wear white. So the fact that

3348
02:38:14,160 --> 02:38:18,080
Speaker 3: they had on their navies that was significant. I'm like, oh,

3349
02:38:18,160 --> 02:38:19,320
Speaker 3: they're at home and they're wearing.

3350
02:38:19,120 --> 02:38:22,720
Speaker 4: This military dress code kind of thing. No, yeah, they

3351
02:38:22,800 --> 02:38:24,560
Speaker 4: got that extra reverence to it.

3352
02:38:24,640 --> 02:38:24,760
Speaker 7: All.

3353
02:38:25,600 --> 02:38:25,800
Speaker 2: Yeah.

3354
02:38:25,959 --> 02:38:29,040
Speaker 3: I was like, that's that's a little different and that

3355
02:38:29,160 --> 02:38:30,840
Speaker 3: other stuff. But now, it was great to see Jimmy

3356
02:38:30,920 --> 02:38:33,160
Speaker 3: in his environment. It was great to see Jerry and

3357
02:38:33,280 --> 02:38:36,120
Speaker 3: Jimmy Barry the hatchet. They had so much success doing

3358
02:38:36,160 --> 02:38:39,000
Speaker 3: that little five year run that Jimmy needed to be

3359
02:38:39,080 --> 02:38:41,440
Speaker 3: recognized as one of the legends. He needed to be

3360
02:38:41,480 --> 02:38:42,920
Speaker 3: in the Ring of Honor. So it's only right they

3361
02:38:42,959 --> 02:38:43,640
Speaker 3: finally put him.

3362
02:38:43,560 --> 02:38:43,879
Speaker 2: Up in there.

3363
02:38:43,920 --> 02:38:45,920
Speaker 4: All right, today, we've got a big game that you're

3364
02:38:45,959 --> 02:38:49,640
Speaker 4: going to be part of Jacksonville losers of four straight.

3365
02:38:49,760 --> 02:38:51,760
Speaker 4: No Trevor Lawrence for this one, Bucky.

3366
02:38:51,840 --> 02:38:52,440
Speaker 1: It's the CJ.

3367
02:38:52,600 --> 02:38:57,200
Speaker 4: Bethard Show against Carolina. Carolina loss nets Bear. The Bears

3368
02:38:57,240 --> 02:38:59,680
Speaker 4: are the number one overall pick. So kind of a

3369
02:38:59,720 --> 02:39:03,279
Speaker 4: big deal, CJ. Bether There but a log jam suddenly

3370
02:39:03,360 --> 02:39:06,040
Speaker 4: in the AFC South and c J. Stroud expected to

3371
02:39:06,120 --> 02:39:09,199
Speaker 4: return for the Houston Texans.

3372
02:39:10,360 --> 02:39:11,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, not big game.

3373
02:39:11,520 --> 02:39:14,400
Speaker 3: You know, if you're the Jaguars, you've you've photted away

3374
02:39:14,600 --> 02:39:17,320
Speaker 3: all of your all of your lead, all of your

3375
02:39:17,360 --> 02:39:20,120
Speaker 3: good will when it comes to being able to do it.

3376
02:39:20,320 --> 02:39:22,200
Speaker 3: And so now they have to figure out can they

3377
02:39:22,280 --> 02:39:24,240
Speaker 3: get back on track. It'll be interesting to see how

3378
02:39:24,240 --> 02:39:26,680
Speaker 3: they play this one out. This is a good team,

3379
02:39:27,480 --> 02:39:29,760
Speaker 3: a team that's playing better rather than the Panthers and

3380
02:39:29,879 --> 02:39:31,720
Speaker 3: the quarterbacks coming off the best game of his career,

3381
02:39:31,840 --> 02:39:32,960
Speaker 3: that fourth quarter performance.

3382
02:39:33,280 --> 02:39:35,760
Speaker 2: See if they can take care of business, Bucky.

3383
02:39:35,840 --> 02:39:39,199
Speaker 4: How big a loss has Cam Robinson been He's activated

3384
02:39:39,240 --> 02:39:42,640
Speaker 4: from the ir today. I mean, not excuse making or anything,

3385
02:39:42,760 --> 02:39:45,039
Speaker 4: but a big cog in that offensive line.

3386
02:39:46,120 --> 02:39:47,880
Speaker 3: I mean it's been a bit of a loss. Because

3387
02:39:47,879 --> 02:39:49,800
Speaker 3: he's physical, he's tough. He gives him a little bit

3388
02:39:49,800 --> 02:39:52,640
Speaker 3: of that tough guy stuff that they needed. At Delana scrimmage.

3389
02:39:52,680 --> 02:39:54,480
Speaker 3: We'll see how much he impacts it, but they need

3390
02:39:54,560 --> 02:39:57,280
Speaker 3: him back, you don't. Not many teams can survive when

3391
02:39:57,280 --> 02:39:58,640
Speaker 3: they lose their left tackle.

3392
02:39:58,560 --> 02:40:00,920
Speaker 4: No question about it. At buck Brooktory Final, we'll have

3393
02:40:00,959 --> 02:40:02,720
Speaker 4: a great call, my friend, and happy New Year to you.

3394
02:40:03,040 --> 02:40:05,440
Speaker 4: It's been a blast for the first seventeen weeks and

3395
02:40:05,480 --> 02:40:08,440
Speaker 4: then we'll have all playoff chaos next week. Yeah, it

3396
02:40:08,480 --> 02:40:11,320
Speaker 4: should be a lot of fun, all good things. Happy

3397

Speaker 4: New Year. Celebrate safely out there, Go make those resolutions
