Speaker 1: guys probably wandering around the streets somewhere. How dare you

28
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 1: but Joey Watts will be the guy I always think

29
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:39,400
Speaker 1: of when I think of Van Duel dot com. Sign

30
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 1: up today, Welcome to the Around the NFL Podcast. Uh,

31
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:45,319
Speaker 1: we have a great show for you today. This is

32
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 1: now two days out from wild Card weekend, so we

33
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 1: will start looking towards this Sunday's game, the Divisional playoffs,

34
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 1: which there are a lot of juicy subplots. Greg, you're

35
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 1: excited about all these games. I know this is the

36
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 1: best weekend in sports, Saturday, a Sunday, four straight games,

37
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 1: eight really seven teams with a chance to win a title.

38
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna put the Panthers in there, but whatever,

39
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:10,919
Speaker 1: I think everyone else could do it better. Even well,

40
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:13,119
Speaker 1: they gotta what they're gonna win in Seattle and Green

41
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 1: Bay game and back. Be careful. You know I was

42
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,800
Speaker 1: gonna say, be careful putting down the Panthers. You might

43
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 1: have low grade shock jocks out of Carolina trying to

44
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 1: bring you down on Twitter. Has happened with me with

45
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:28,639
Speaker 1: at Kroger. You don't want to mess with Kroger. That's

46
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 1: what one of his listeners tweeted at me. He's like,

47
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:34,959
Speaker 1: you mess with Kroger, you mess with Dooms sometimes that

48
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 1: I was, okay, it was it was sort of paralyzing

49
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:39,959
Speaker 1: your work day at one point. It was it was

50
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 1: just because West you would be proud of me. I

51
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 1: really went went to town with my block button for

52
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 1: the first time ever because so many Panthers fans that

53
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 1: I felt pretty good by the way I believe in

54
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:56,119
Speaker 1: these Panthers. But you know, winning in Seattle and Green

55
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 1: Bay back to back would be the biggest upset any

56
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:00,359
Speaker 1: team's ever done in the playoffs. You believe in the

57
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 1: the one out of eight teams that's going nowhere. Because yes,

58
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 1: I feel there's a sense of contradiction there. On today's show,

59
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 1: we will go through We're gonna talk about four big concerns,

60
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 1: so one from each of us about one of these

61
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 1: eight teams that are playing this weekend. So we're gonna

62
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 1: talk about four big concerns from these games coming up. Also,

63
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 1: we're gonna touch uh and we're gonna check in on

64
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 1: the mail bag. I sent out a prompt for some questions,

65
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,080
Speaker 1: so we're gonna have a mail bag up on NFL

66
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 1: dot com. But also I'm gonna share some questions with

67
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 1: the group here. We'll answer some. And but before we

68
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 1: get to any of that, it is that time when

69
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 1: we check in with TV. How you doing body? What's

70
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 1: going on? Fellows? Does anyone know what that money tag was?

71
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 1: I have no idea. Oh I know, it's Breaking Bad.

72
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 1: There you go. Anyway, I'm not a Breaking Bad. Well

73
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 1: I was. I was still coming off the high of

74
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 1: that Fandel reads that I wasn't really paid intention. I'm

75
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 1: still trying to get through the first season of Breaking Bad,

76
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,080
Speaker 1: which when you watch that first season, you haven't no

77
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 1: idea what people are talking about when they call it

78
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: one of the best series. It's the I wouldn't say

79
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: it's the worst season, but I get you're not the

80
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 1: first person I've heard say that. But stick in it

81
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 1: and it will get really good. I'm the one who knocks.

82
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 1: Is one of the great lines in television history. Uh,

83
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 1: t V time for some news, buddy, So let's do

84
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 1: it using that's what I'm talking about. Some archer action.

85
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 1: Very well done. T D. Just for the record, TV

86
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 1: asked me to say, let's do it so he could

87
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 1: drop that on me, So you kind of set me

88
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 1: up for it. But that's cool. I've actually gotten many

89
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 1: tweets people saying that I sound like that guy H.

90
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 1: John Benjamin. That's a high compliment, you know. I'm very

91
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,279
Speaker 1: happy to hear it. I'd say you sound more like H.

92
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 1: John Benjamin, then you look like John Hamm. Well, listen,

93
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 1: that is your opinion, but a highly influential casting agent

94
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 1: in the Los Angeles area disagrees. All right, So let's

95
00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: get into it, and we'll start with the big news

96
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,160
Speaker 1: out of Washington, where there was a new general manager,

97
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 1: Scott mclewin. Mclewin has been hired as the Redskins new GM. Uh.

98
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 1: This is a big higher mcgluwin obviously had some success

99
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:17,599
Speaker 1: earlier in his career with the Niners and the Seahawks

100
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,039
Speaker 1: went away for a while, had some personal problems, but

101
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:23,840
Speaker 1: now pops back up he takes over as GM, which

102
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:27,040
Speaker 1: Greg leads to a big shake up in that organization,

103
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:30,479
Speaker 1: one that probably was overdue. Well, it's a good sign

104
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 1: that they're bringing in someone with a clear track record

105
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 1: of picking football players. Bruce Allen's never been that guy,

106
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 1: and I don't think he even really was pretending to.

107
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:41,720
Speaker 1: He had the title of general manager, but essentially just

108
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 1: was managing this personnel staff. He's done well everywhere he's been.

109
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 1: I would say it's a great move and it makes

110
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 1: a lot of sense, but it's the Redskins, and so

111
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 1: anytime the Redskins make a move, I just assume what

112
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 1: has been rotting in that organization for a decade will

113
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,919
Speaker 1: continue to rot and ruin anything that comes into it.

114
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,280
Speaker 1: We were like, we watch step press conference from Bruce

115
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 1: Allen last week, which was one of the point most

116
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 1: often press conferences I've seen in a long time. But

117
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 1: maybe something came from that. He was pressed so hard

118
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 1: that he promised they were going to do something. They

119
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 1: asked what, and he's like, well, you know, our charitable

120
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 1: organizations are very strong, and you're not answering any of

121
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 1: the questions. And they went out and they got someone

122
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 1: who with san Francisco and Seattle. Very interesting like player evaluator,

123
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,040
Speaker 1: He's done a great job. He helped build three straight

124
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 1: conference championships with the forty nine conference championship games for

125
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 1: the forty nine. Then he helped build a Super Bowl

126
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 1: champion for the Seahawks. This guy is one of the

127
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 1: best talent evaluators in the NFL. Right, And I was

128
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,599
Speaker 1: knocking it because it's the Redskins. But you have to

129
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,279
Speaker 1: make moves like this. We were hearing that Wade Phillips

130
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 1: has a good chance to become the defensive coordinator, and

131
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,040
Speaker 1: I really like that move to Phillips has been great

132
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,559
Speaker 1: as a coordinator wherever he's been. So those those two things,

133
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:58,159
Speaker 1: it's some optimism. Yeah, but you're right, it's the Redskins. Yeah,

134
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 1: but how do you turn things around? Because yeah, it's

135
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 1: the Browns. Yeah, it's the Jets. It's different. They don't

136
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 1: have they don't have corrosive ownership for the last decade,

137
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 1: at least the Browns, I mean haven't they have. They

138
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 1: have a new ownership. And and Bruce Allen is still there.

139
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 1: He's mcluen's boss, I mean, and Allen still has the

140
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 1: same boss, has been there forever, so that that hasn't changed.

141
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 1: I liked that Bruce Allen failed at his job so

142
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 1: he got a promotion. Is that what happened? Well, he

143
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:24,679
Speaker 1: already was the press, he was already in a presidential world. Yeah,

144
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 1: he's been there and look he ran. He seems more

145
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 1: like a business guy. Someone was explaining why is Bruce

146
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 1: Allen going to be there forever? And they talked about

147
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 1: the training camp deals that he's worked out that's made

148
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 1: them millions and millions of dollars, and the sponsorships and

149
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 1: stuff like that. Things we don't even think about. But

150
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 1: if it's putting twenty million dollars in Dan Snyder's pocket,

151
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 1: he's happy with Bruce Allen. His father was a Hall

152
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 1: of Fame football coach, and yeah, he's not known for

153
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 1: his football Actum, well, we don't all do what our

154
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 1: fathers do. Well, how many how many of our fathers

155
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 1: were on podcast twenty years ago? My dad was a

156
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 1: male man. Well, father's sons have worked out great for

157
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 1: the Redskins. You know, the Shanahan's, the Schottenheimer's, uh, the

158
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 1: Alans terrific. Moving on more front office news. NFL media

159
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 1: insider Ian Rappaport known as rap Sheet, reported Tuesday that

160
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 1: Mike Tannenbaum will take over the football operations of the

161
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins effective February one. Uh, this is a move

162
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 1: after you know, he's the former Jets GM as we know,

163
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 1: also a friend of the podcast. Maybe we could parlay

164
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 1: this into some insider heat for the Round the NFL podcast.

165
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,680
Speaker 1: First ever podcast guests to subsequently get hired as a

166
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 1: general man. Here connected dots there. Uh. Tannenbaum was the

167
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 1: Dolphins consultant last summer and now he's on the on

168
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 1: the payroll in a more substantial manner. And the Hickster, Uh,

169
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 1: they're GM, Dennis Hicksy, Dennis Hickey will report to Tannenbaum,

170
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 1: So a little shake up their in their management. Well,

171
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 1: we may not report for him to him for very long.

172
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 1: I mean he'll probably be around through the draft and stuff.

173
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 1: But don't you feel that this is a It's like

174
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:00,560
Speaker 1: a football's are to some degree, And I I wonder

175
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:04,439
Speaker 1: I can't help, but wonder if the Dolphins owner is saying,

176
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 1: why did I three weeks ago tell everyone that Filman

177
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,719
Speaker 1: would be back? Why did this have to do that?

178
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 1: I mean, he should have Hea, you're bringing a football's

179
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 1: are in theory to not just sit around and collect

180
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 1: a paycheck, but maybe tell you midway through the season.

181
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 1: Next year, these guys have got to go. I don't

182
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,960
Speaker 1: think they're bringing in tannenbaumb for his scouting skills. I

183
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 1: mean he's he's closer to the Bruce Allen mold and

184
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 1: he's shown that he knows the business of sports very well. He's,

185
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:36,080
Speaker 1: you know, quitting a lucrative job as an agent of coaches.

186
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 1: Seem he's the coach of dan Quinn. So he's going

187
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 1: to have another big time head coaching higher that that

188
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 1: he will be responsible for and at least get the

189
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 1: commission for. But then he'll move into this run. So

190
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 1: the Jets will be organizing dan Quinn's contract, what the

191
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 1: footballs are of the Miami Dolphins. He is not officially

192
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 1: starting until the dan Quinn contract is done. Yes, I

193
00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 1: like that you actually called Tanaboum the coach dan Quinn.

194
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 1: Is there's something that we need to know that you

195
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 1: are holding out. That was just a slip of the tongue.

196
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:07,840
Speaker 1: But what a surprise, and a pleasant surprise. I would

197
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 1: not have guessed that Tannenbaum after leaving the Jets in

198
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:14,200
Speaker 1: a way that that ended would have not only um

199
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:16,959
Speaker 1: gotten another good job, but really a promotion. I mean,

200
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,080
Speaker 1: this is a big time job. This is essentially the

201
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 1: type of job that Bill Parcels used to have in Miami.

202
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 1: Greg Rosenthal, in an exclusive interview with Dean Balondino, at

203
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 1: least for a few minutes, you're changing the subject moving. Okay,

204
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 1: at least for a few minutes. You had an exclusive

205
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 1: with Dino Blendino, the vice president officiating, in which you

206
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 1: discussed be play the pet like the word exclusive. People

207
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 1: have the same interview and they all call it because

208
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:50,080
Speaker 1: what happened was Blendino. Dino Blendino talked to fourteen straight

209
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:54,200
Speaker 1: media outlets about the past interference call between Dallas and Detroit.

210
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 1: UM but talk to Gregg first, So it's something for

211
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 1: a small window it was. I like to reg also

212
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 1: was wise enough to, you know, burrow his way into

213
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 1: rich Eisen's office so that when Dean Blandno saw the

214
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:08,960
Speaker 1: call coming here, I don't want to get I don't

215
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 1: want to get in trouble here. You know, eyes and

216
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 1: might listen to this be too happy, But look he's

217
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 1: not in that office. I need. I needed some space.

218
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 1: I don't have an office. That's the other thing. You

219
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 1: are the boss. What are you doing in the cubicles

220
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 1: with the rest of us. Well, that that's a question

221
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 1: for you know, shadowy league figures that's true. Anyway, So

222
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:33,840
Speaker 1: Greg and Dino on the phone together, and Blendino acknowledges

223
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 1: that the past interference call that was made against the

224
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 1: Cowboys and their win over the lines on Sunday and

225
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:41,679
Speaker 1: then was picked up, the flag was picked up, and

226
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 1: it kind of started a chain of events that led

227
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 1: to the Cowboys eventually winning that game. Called it debatable. Uh, well,

228
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 1: he called it whatever's something that's already been happening to

229
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,680
Speaker 1: debate the country. I certainly could have supported if they

230
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 1: left the flag down. I wouldn't have supported the I

231
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 1: would have supported the foul. But I think it's a

232
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 1: close judgment call where you have two officials differing, uh,

233
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 1: with differing opinions on it. He basically said that, by

234
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 1: the way, yes, it was a holding before the past interference.

235
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 1: He said that on total or on the aftermath, and

236
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 1: that was not uh. And yeah, he's talked about the

237
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 1: Dez Bryan play also on t A. UH that Dez

238
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 1: Bryant ran on the field during that whole situation and

239
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 1: and said that wasn't necessarily a penalty, but he would

240
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:28,960
Speaker 1: have supported if they threw the flag well. And he

241
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:30,559
Speaker 1: also the key to me was when he said he

242
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 1: would have preferred they kept a flag down. So he

243
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:35,840
Speaker 1: he was saying he thinks it was a penalty, but

244
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 1: in judgment calls like this, this can happen. And where

245
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:41,320
Speaker 1: where he was the strongest was really saying how the

246
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 1: communication broke down, That they never should have announced the

247
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:46,559
Speaker 1: penalty in the first place. One guy's announcing while the

248
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:48,840
Speaker 1: other two are talking about whether this is actually a

249
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 1: penalty or not, and he should have explained and made

250
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 1: it more clear when he announced the correction. Apparently he

251
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 1: did and people at the stadium heard it, but it

252
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 1: was very quick and the broadcast missed it. So on

253
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 1: one play you a defensive holding by Anthony Hitchins, pass

254
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:05,960
Speaker 1: interference by Anthony Hitchins, and unsportsmanlike conduct on Dez Bryant,

255
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 1: and none of the three got called that's fair. The

256
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 1: Bryant one was probably The Bryant one was probably the one.

257
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 1: I have to leave a helmet. Helmet has nothing to

258
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 1: do with it because he's not in the game unless

259
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,200
Speaker 1: he's in the game. That they explained that that you know,

260
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 1: of course he doesn't have a helmet because he's not

261
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 1: in the game. The helmet only has to do with

262
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:25,960
Speaker 1: if you're in the game at the time. And that

263
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 1: is a use of discretion that I actually think is okay,

264
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 1: Like in that big of a spot in the playoffs,

265
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:35,080
Speaker 1: like if he's not doing something like pushing there going crazy,

266
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:36,680
Speaker 1: it's like, do you really want to give a team

267
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 1: fifteen yards for that? I have no problem with him

268
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 1: not penalizing des Bryant. I get I think we talked

269
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 1: about the Sunday, but I'll repeat myself. I get lines

270
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 1: fends being pissed about how this all played out. You

271
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:49,559
Speaker 1: have every right to go into the off season with

272
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 1: a bitter taste in your mouth. But still, even after

273
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:55,559
Speaker 1: that whole situation went all Dallas's way, eight minutes on

274
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:59,079
Speaker 1: the clock, three point lead, fourth and one at midfield,

275
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 1: your ball right, your punter, your coach calls a punt,

276
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 1: your punter kicks at ten yards, and then your defense

277
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,079
Speaker 1: can't make a stop, and then Matthew Stafford can't lead

278
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:10,080
Speaker 1: them back down a lot of things. They had a

279
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:12,320
Speaker 1: lot of shots to turn it around. You're absolutely right,

280
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 1: and I and even our own Lions fan Kevin Patrick

281
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 1: was the first to point out that you don't just

282
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 1: point to that penalty and say that's the end of

283
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 1: the game. It didn't happen in the final ten seconds,

284
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 1: but a complete, a complete breakdown from officiating in a

285
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 1: huge spot for a team that hasn't won a playoff

286
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 1: games since the Bill Clinton White House. Yeah, the fan

287
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 1: base has a right to be irritated, of course, but

288
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 1: it's not that I'm not disagreeing with you. But it's not.

289
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 1: But it's not we just turned around right and say, well,

290
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 1: they didn't handle the right It's like, right, we get it.

291
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 1: We taught that there were eight more minutes. It's talked

292
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 1: about like it was the tuck rule though, where it's like,

293
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 1: that's the play that changed the game, and and it

294
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 1: is a play that changed the game, And it was

295
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 1: definitely one of the biggest players that changed the game,

296
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 1: but there were there were seven or eight players that

297
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 1: changed the game after that. But remember a couple of

298
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 1: months of when I bailed on Jim calbell or a

299
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 1: month ago. This is right, fourth and one and he

300
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 1: has no stones, right, and I Calbell is one of

301
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 1: the most conservative game managing coaches in the NFL, and

302
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 1: it's gonna come back to haunt the lines for years

303
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 1: as long as he's there. And I got into an

304
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 1: argument with Bucky Brooks, who were big fans of here,

305
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 1: on the podcast of course, about you know, he said

306
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 1: you had to punt there, and and all I'm thinking is,

307
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 1: look at the Ravens and in John Harbor. They were

308
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 1: up twenty to nine in the fourth quarter at midfield

309
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 1: and had a fourth down and they went for it.

310
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 1: I mean that I got the stones. It's January, right,

311
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 1: and you and you trust in your offense. He trust

312
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 1: in your office. That's what Garrott did with the Cowboys

313
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 1: in the fourth down situation. He let his players go

314
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 1: out there and make the place. Uh. Speaking of the Cowboys,

315
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 1: let's hit this real quick, Mark Jerry Jones. You know

316
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 1: Chris Christie was up in the box, uh, the Jerry

317
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 1: Jones boxing. He was into it. He was way into it.

318
00:15:57,720 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 1: He got left hanging on a high ten, which is

319
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 1: very air. It's very hard to get left hanging on

320
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 1: a high tent if you think about it. Chris Christie

321
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 1: is a big man, so he's got a big wi

322
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 1: two so he's holding up his arms and ten fingers

323
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 1: out or you know, Paul these and you miss everything.

324
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 1: You missed the whole thing, so you got yes. And

325
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 1: but anyway, point being, Chris Christie was a big story

326
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 1: after that game, uh celebrating with Jara, and then Jones

327
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 1: said on Tuesday, Chris Christie is quote part of our mojo.

328
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 1: I want him there all the way. I don't know

329
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 1: how we can even think about going up there, referring

330
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 1: to lambau Field without him. Your thoughts, Mark, Well, I

331
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 1: mean I think that it's it's okay. You haven't been

332
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 1: in the playoffs for one A playoff came outside of

333
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 1: once since the mid nineties. You've got a big, jolly

334
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 1: old man rolling with you in the box. You bring

335
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 1: him to the next game. It's a little bit though.

336
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 1: I mean, the people of New Jersey, there's various people

337
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 1: in outrage because this is happening. Isn't he busy? He's

338
00:16:55,640 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 1: already lost to Michigan primary. Like, we're not that political

339
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 1: folks around here, But if you're the governor of some

340
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 1: state that's a thousand miles away from Dallas. You're busy

341
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 1: right afternoon hanging. There's one important thing I need to

342
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:15,119
Speaker 1: know here. Is he from Texas. He's the worst. I

343
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 1: hate Cowboys fans who aren't from Texas. Well, that's that's

344
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 1: at least representative all these bandwagon hangers on that show

345
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 1: up in a give me a break showing up in

346
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 1: the box. Well, when you're asking for Giants fans to

347
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 1: show up and you know, pull the lever for you

348
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:32,960
Speaker 1: next time you're running for like the goofy kid you

349
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,399
Speaker 1: grew up with, I mean in our age, like you

350
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 1: would know this one guy in your class who was

351
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 1: like a Yankees fan of Florida State fan and a

352
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:45,439
Speaker 1: Cowboys fan and a Lakers Yeah that Michael Fabiano. By

353
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 1: the way, hey, if the food we can well have

354
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,920
Speaker 1: to leave that wests them out because there's some profanity involved.

355
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 1: But anyway, So yeah, so Chris Christie gonna be at

356
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 1: lambeau Field, I guess, celebrating again if the Cowboys step

357
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 1: up in that big spot. So let's move on. The

358
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengals out of the playoffs. West of this has

359
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 1: come and West's back here, which is really a little

360
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:12,359
Speaker 1: bit relieved, to be honest, with you because I know

361
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 1: he had a great day on Sunday celebrating. We should

362
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:18,639
Speaker 1: hear a little bit. How was west of this for you?

363
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:21,639
Speaker 1: West of vis for new listeners don't know, that's the

364
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:25,880
Speaker 1: annual UH celebration by Chris Wesleyan. When the Bengals losing

365
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 1: the first round of the playoffs, it was glorious. It

366
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 1: was epic. Um. I was with good company, We were

367
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 1: enjoying the game. The game went as scripted. I was

368
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:37,480
Speaker 1: a little bit more nervous this year than other years

369
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 1: because so many people were on the Bengals can't have

370
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:45,240
Speaker 1: nice things bandwagon and uh, too many people knew about it,

371
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:46,679
Speaker 1: So it had me a little bit nervous. But I

372
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:50,360
Speaker 1: think it played out as I expected. You cannot pick

373
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:52,159
Speaker 1: a team that has any Dalton over a team that

374
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:56,679
Speaker 1: has Andrew Luck. It's just it's an athema, especially given

375
00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:59,400
Speaker 1: what Dalton was dealing with in terms of supporting cast.

376
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:02,879
Speaker 1: But I will say this, Marvin Lewis spoke at his

377
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 1: press conference season ending press conference on Monday, and he

378
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 1: doubled down on Andy Dalton. So Mark, I know you

379
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 1: suggested potentially Sunday they should start thinking beyond Andy Dalton.

380
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:15,400
Speaker 1: If Marvin Lewis, is there that is not happening? Here

381
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:18,680
Speaker 1: is h the quote on dalton season from Marvin Lewis.

382
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 1: I think that he continued to grow, which which is great.

383
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 1: I think that working with a new influence with Hugh

384
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:26,680
Speaker 1: Jackson and so forth, to see that relationship continue to

385
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 1: grow forward. And he had a lot of pressure on

386
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 1: his plate coming into the season, and he dealt with

387
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:34,399
Speaker 1: it and handled it and he won another ten football games.

388
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 1: This is why this is a reliable holiday for Chris

389
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 1: Wesley to celebrate every January, because the Bengals organization is

390
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 1: not going to strive for more. I was listening to

391
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 1: the podcast while I was riding my bike to Malibu yesterday,

392
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:52,359
Speaker 1: and I agreed with both of you guys, with Damn

393
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 1: that I give Andy Dalton a complete pass for this game.

394
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 1: I don't judge him harshly one bit. When you have

395
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:01,680
Speaker 1: you're missing Marvin Jones, Tyler Iford, A J. Green, and

396
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 1: Jermaine Gresham. You've got East. Greg reads off a list

397
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:08,160
Speaker 1: and Dan thought he was making up some of the names.

398
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 1: Kobe Hamilton's I mean, he gets a complete pass for me.

399
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:14,880
Speaker 1: Any quarterback would when you're when your team just isn't there.

400
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:16,960
Speaker 1: I mean, to me, he gets a complete pass. But

401
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,760
Speaker 1: I agree with Mark. Also, we've seen four years of this.

402
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:22,160
Speaker 1: We know what Andy Dalton's gonna do, and I fully

403
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:24,880
Speaker 1: expect him to have a really good year next year

404
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 1: with all those guys healthy, and then to lose. In

405
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:31,679
Speaker 1: the first comment yesterday, I don't referring to Sunday, I

406
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:34,400
Speaker 1: don't attribute as much to the quarterback as guys did

407
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 1: not respond. I think the quarterback did what he could

408
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:38,439
Speaker 1: do to get it done. So not only did he

409
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:41,119
Speaker 1: let Dalton of the hook, he basically said Dalton was fine,

410
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 1: it's all these other guys that needed to step up.

411
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:46,399
Speaker 1: Dalton played about as well as Dalton could play in

412
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:48,880
Speaker 1: that scenario. But that's not a good thing. But if

413
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 1: you gave Luck the Bengals offense and Dalton the Colts offense,

414
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 1: Luck still beats him. I think I completely agree, and

415
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:57,200
Speaker 1: I don't think it was just about that game. That's

416
00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:59,280
Speaker 1: not from what we were saying on Sunday. It's like,

417
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:02,880
Speaker 1: we know this quarterback ceiling was after the first season,

418
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 1: and the bar is so low on any Dalton that

419
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 1: people want to give excuses to him over and over

420
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 1: and over. Keep him around, give him another year. What

421
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 1: he needs is the Seahawks defense with him, and instead

422
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 1: he has the team that's lasting the league in sacks.

423
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 1: So that's it's just not gonna add up. Here's a

424
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:19,960
Speaker 1: tricky thing. I'm from New York. I know how that

425
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 1: fan base would react to another year of Dalton after

426
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:25,560
Speaker 1: how this season ended. I don't know how it would

427
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 1: be in Cincinnati, but I would think that you're gonna

428
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 1: start hearing boo birds if Dalton does goes into a

429
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:33,560
Speaker 1: funk next year, and it's gonna the pressure is gonna

430
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 1: mount to get him out of town. I can report

431
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 1: from the front line. I was there for Christmas, and

432
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:39,840
Speaker 1: not one Bengals fan I knew thought they were gonna

433
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 1: win this game. They knew who Andy Dalton, as they

434
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:45,000
Speaker 1: knew who Marvin Lewis is, and they're frustrated by Lewis.

435
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 1: But they also know that Marvin Lewis has a record

436
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 1: over five hundred with the Bengals, and all other Bengals

437
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:53,520
Speaker 1: coaches combined under Mike Brown have a record about two

438
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:57,760
Speaker 1: fifty other Bengals news. So Geno Atkins, that's the name.

439
00:21:57,800 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 1: We didn't bring up a lot this year. He came

440
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 1: back from that ah y l Tere, but wasn't the

441
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:03,679
Speaker 1: same guy only at three sacks in the middle of

442
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:07,600
Speaker 1: that defensive line. Paul gun Through, the defensive coordinator UH,

443
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 1: said some interesting things per ESPN this week after the game.

444
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 1: UH this year he was just a three technique number

445
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 1: twenty in my mind, referring as supposed to his rankings

446
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,920
Speaker 1: amongst defensive tackles. He was just a guy out there.

447
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:22,639
Speaker 1: And then he added this, we need to get him

448
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:25,359
Speaker 1: back to where he was being that game record there inside.

449
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 1: Otherwise we need to go find a new inside rusher

450
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 1: that put that guy on blast your number twenty by

451
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:34,920
Speaker 1: Pro Football Focus, when that's what gun Through was pointing

452
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:37,680
Speaker 1: number twenty, which I found interesting that even referenced that

453
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:42,480
Speaker 1: that maybe the question set up that, and then he was, yeah,

454
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:44,400
Speaker 1: well that's why, I mean they were eleventh and total deal.

455
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:46,880
Speaker 1: Marvin Lewis who said that Gunther did a better job

456
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 1: than he did in his first year as defensive coordinator,

457
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:51,879
Speaker 1: but I I mean, I I'm surprised that Gunther was

458
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:55,679
Speaker 1: that aggressively pointed at. You don't say that unless there's

459
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:58,760
Speaker 1: something going on with his effort level or something that

460
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:00,840
Speaker 1: you don't that you're not happy about if a guy

461
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:03,879
Speaker 1: is doing everything he can and that's the result. I

462
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 1: don't think he makes that comment. But this is a player,

463
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:09,920
Speaker 1: Gino Atkins, that's paid like a superstar. I mean, he's

464
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:11,520
Speaker 1: paid like one of the best guys, and he's coming

465
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:13,400
Speaker 1: off a torn a c l. But there's not There's

466
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:14,919
Speaker 1: not a lot of argument here. He had a in

467
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 1: no case season. He was like a solid starter. He

468
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:19,399
Speaker 1: was not a star by any meaning. And like you mentioned,

469
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:21,879
Speaker 1: he's not alone. The whole team. Let Andrew Luck just

470
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:24,760
Speaker 1: roam around in circles untill he wanted to throw the ball.

471
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:29,399
Speaker 1: It's ridiculous. Moving on, the Indianapolis Cults are in the

472
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:32,359
Speaker 1: midst of glory days. They went from Peyton Manning straight

473
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 1: to Andrew Luck, and Jim Marsay in a state of

474
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:39,840
Speaker 1: the Franchise type press conference on Tuesday, thanked a particular

475
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 1: player for that, Morris Morris Jones. Drew uh drew on

476
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 1: January first, two thousand and eleven towards the Cults for

477
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 1: a hundred and sixty nine yards and twenty five carries,

478
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:51,399
Speaker 1: and he lost the game. Secure the top pick allowed

479
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 1: them to draft Andrew Luck and Ursa said Tuesday, he

480
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:59,919
Speaker 1: changed our destiny, which is accurate. It's a good thing

481
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,240
Speaker 1: I wasn't on the podcast Sunday night because I would

482
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:06,160
Speaker 1: have um been full of vitriol over Andrew Luck critics,

483
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 1: which to me, how well, how are there Andrew Luck critics? Who?

484
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 1: Who are they? I've not even I have not even

485
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 1: run into them, Greg, Greg Rosenthal. See you See the

486
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:20,119
Speaker 1: thing is you take you take one bit of like

487
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:22,919
Speaker 1: mild criticism, ever, and that's all you remember. I'm like,

488
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 1: I'm joking about you, right, But why with Greg Bard

489
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:28,640
Speaker 1: write an article saying Luck isn't great when he clearly

490
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:31,920
Speaker 1: is great already. Ellian Harrison ripping on him for turnovers?

491
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:34,040
Speaker 1: Give me a break. Look at who He doesn't have

492
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:36,200
Speaker 1: an offensive line for most of the year. Reggie Wayne

493
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:38,560
Speaker 1: wasn't himself. T Y Hilton was out for a little bit,

494
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:40,760
Speaker 1: Dwayne Alton was out for a while. He didn't have

495
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:43,240
Speaker 1: the weapons. Why pick on a good quarterback when there

496
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:45,159
Speaker 1: are so many bad quarterbacks to pick on? And he

497
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:46,960
Speaker 1: had his best game of the year in the playoffs.

498
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 1: I thought that was his best performance. He was making

499
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:53,199
Speaker 1: throws that no other quarterback makes. I agree, and I

500
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:56,760
Speaker 1: love the the Jones jew reference by ers, because I

501
00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 1: love these little turned I we should almost do an article.

502
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 1: It seems like something Damna check would be good at,

503
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 1: like the five games you know that changed the course

504
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:07,960
Speaker 1: of NFL history, just for draft seating stuff like that,

505
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 1: because you don't really think of it at the time,

506
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 1: Like Tampa this year when they totally I mean, I

507
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:14,560
Speaker 1: think they gave that game away on purpose. Maybe maybe

508
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:18,000
Speaker 1: that's going to be their moments smart right, But instead

509
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 1: it was it was Jones Drew and I remember that.

510
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 1: I think it was on NFL Network. No, No, that

511
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:24,040
Speaker 1: was the week before clinched the rushing title for m

512
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:26,680
Speaker 1: j DU two and then he was never the same.

513
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:28,280
Speaker 1: That was the end of the road for m j D.

514
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 1: Jim Fossil on The Coaches Show this week. He was

515
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:33,960
Speaker 1: a co host on Coaches Show. What the Coaches Show man?

516
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:38,879
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, when that's a podcast, right because because no

517
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:44,640
Speaker 1: one listening knows about it, Okay, coach, we had Jim

518
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:47,200
Speaker 1: Fossil coast and he did say he believes Andrew Look

519
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:49,920
Speaker 1: will be the best quoterback. Ever, I didn't even hear

520
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:51,919
Speaker 1: I believe. It was just he will be the greatest

521
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:54,359
Speaker 1: quarterback ever, t D I want to a number is

522
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:57,240
Speaker 1: the answer to this question? How many times during the

523
00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:00,960
Speaker 1: Coaches Podcast have you broken into reminds something to them

524
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 1: that happened on this podcast? A number of set drizzles

525
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:09,639
Speaker 1: cracking up in the background. Let's answer, let's say the

526
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:12,920
Speaker 1: same as Andy Dublin playoff points. All Right, so you're

527
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 1: Mike has been cut for the rest of the podcast.

528
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 1: This idea next time you're like, well much, Mark Sessler said,

529
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:22,760
Speaker 1: you might want to take some Wait is that my

530
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:28,560
Speaker 1: pool boy friend? Alright, so that is what's happening in

531
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:32,080
Speaker 1: the NFL. Okay, guys, let's move on. The divisional playoffs

532
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 1: are here, and we're gonna talk about four big concerns

533
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:38,040
Speaker 1: that we have, so one from each of us. This

534
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 1: is a video and TV has done a great job here.

535
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:44,640
Speaker 1: He's gonna throw some video up. It's very exciting. TD

536
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:46,919
Speaker 1: I lifted the veil. I I said that you couldn't

537
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:50,280
Speaker 1: speak anymore after you you you know, went against us

538
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 1: for the Coaches Show again, But now you can speak. Yeah,

539
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:55,000
Speaker 1: It's just this is something we're trying out and new.

540
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 1: I'm here back here with z Drizzle and Rob Crowder

541
00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:00,280
Speaker 1: and I'm figuring, Hey, we have this big TV screen

542
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:06,160
Speaker 1: behind segment, great for the podcast. Check um so yes,

543
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 1: So we're gonna each take a concern and we're gonna

544
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:12,159
Speaker 1: start with Chris Wessling, who wants to look at the

545
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:16,960
Speaker 1: team uh in Carolina and the quarterbacks specifically. Well, my

546
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:19,399
Speaker 1: biggest concern is Cam Newton's mechanics. He looked like a

547
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:23,280
Speaker 1: human corkscrew throw throwing last week. Throwing off his back foot,

548
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:25,160
Speaker 1: he doesn't get any weight on his front foot. TV

549
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:27,640
Speaker 1: is gonna throw up some video back here of Cam

550
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:31,320
Speaker 1: Newton throwing off his front, off his back foot, and

551
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:33,800
Speaker 1: he loses accuracy. He does this. I'm sure Gregg's seen

552
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 1: this on film. He does this several times a year.

553
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:38,440
Speaker 1: I thought the Panther should have shot out the Cardinals,

554
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:41,280
Speaker 1: and one of the main reasons they didn't was Cam

555
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:44,359
Speaker 1: Newton was incredibly inaccurate in this game. Overthrew ed Dixon

556
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:47,239
Speaker 1: a couple of times through wide of Kelvin Benjamin. He

557
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:49,520
Speaker 1: was all over the map with his throws. And I

558
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:51,240
Speaker 1: think this is this is a team that can hang

559
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:54,640
Speaker 1: with the Seahawks as long as Cam Newton is pinpoint accurate.

560
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 1: He has to play much better. Is that doesn't sound

561
00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 1: like something that's suddenly gonna get fixed here in early Gin.

562
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:02,119
Speaker 1: It happened sometimes though, because I think the thing that

563
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:04,879
Speaker 1: definds Cam Newton right now is he is the streakiest

564
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:07,720
Speaker 1: quarterback in the NFL. So he can have it going

565
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 1: for a game at a time. You don't want him

566
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:12,880
Speaker 1: throwing forty throws, but he can. Even in this even

567
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:15,119
Speaker 1: in this Cardinals game, I think he made five or

568
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:17,680
Speaker 1: six really great throws that a lot of quarterbacks couldn't make.

569
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 1: So maybe he gets a good streak. Well, look back

570
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:23,800
Speaker 1: to your one of your quarterback indexes from mid October.

571
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:27,119
Speaker 1: You hed Cam Newton is a top five quarterback, but

572
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 1: you were saying what the film was showing. He was

573
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:32,240
Speaker 1: passing better early in the season than he ever had

574
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:35,200
Speaker 1: in his career. Alright, Greg, we will now talk about

575
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 1: another quarterback in New England. His name is Tom Brady. Well,

576
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:42,719
Speaker 1: you're trying to get me scared about this Tom Brady

577
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:46,280
Speaker 1: versus the Baltimore Ravens matchup, and the one reason I

578
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:48,560
Speaker 1: am a little concerned about it, and now we're going

579
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:51,200
Speaker 1: to be showing the video here is the offensive line.

580
00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:55,320
Speaker 1: And it's no secret. The recipe to beating Tom Brady

581
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:58,240
Speaker 1: is by getting pressure to him. And this Baltimore Ravens

582
00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:01,240
Speaker 1: front seven is playing really well. It's not just through

583
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 1: all Sugs and Elvisdoomerville. It's Brandon Williams not had a

584
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:06,960
Speaker 1: very nice game last week. Courtney Upshot, who's not known

585
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 1: as a pass rusher, had a very nice game last

586
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:11,400
Speaker 1: week against Pittsburgh. So you look at what the Patriots

587
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:14,560
Speaker 1: offensive line did in December, and that's all I can

588
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:17,360
Speaker 1: go off of. They struggled with a big defensive line

589
00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:21,160
Speaker 1: against the Jets. They struggled up and down really throughout

590
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:22,800
Speaker 1: the month, and now I think they have a very

591
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:24,920
Speaker 1: tough matchup up front. You're gonna have to get the

592
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:27,160
Speaker 1: ball out of Brady's hands quickly. I think that's a

593
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:30,960
Speaker 1: concern at least crazy. It was a little long winded,

594
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:32,520
Speaker 1: but that was crazy. They should just give the game

595
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 1: to the Ravens. I don't even play it. Everyone everyone

596
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:38,800
Speaker 1: assumes the Ravens are gonna win. Because everyone I don't

597
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:43,760
Speaker 1: think everyone. I have a feeling. Here's what I think

598
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:46,920
Speaker 1: West is saying. I think I don't think everyone assumes

599
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:48,400
Speaker 1: the Ravens are gonna win. But I think a lot

600
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:50,560
Speaker 1: of people are assuming this is gonna be another field

601
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:53,720
Speaker 1: goal type game, and us believe everybody's getting a little

602
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:56,200
Speaker 1: too excited about this. Raves so we've heard since Saturday

603
00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:58,120
Speaker 1: night is oh, this is the last team the page

604
00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 1: wanted to play, the team that to beat Connor Shaw

605
00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:03,560
Speaker 1: and have the Chargers lose to get into the playoffs.

606
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:06,400
Speaker 1: It's the last team the thirteen and three or twelve

607
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:09,719
Speaker 1: and four Patriots, who are way better on defense than

608
00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:12,120
Speaker 1: they've been in a decade. Well, they have Gronk, which

609
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:14,280
Speaker 1: has not been a factor in these other Ravens games.

610
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:16,520
Speaker 1: People fair though, West, because I know they didn't have

611
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:19,320
Speaker 1: Levian Bell, but the Steelers were your boys, and they

612
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:23,840
Speaker 1: went into that building and whipped them. They beat them, Okay,

613
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:26,360
Speaker 1: but come on, it's pretty huge. They had they had

614
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:30,280
Speaker 1: a right they won that game. And now one week

615
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:33,400
Speaker 1: over shadow seventeen weeks we advertised that game as a

616
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:36,800
Speaker 1: game where Levian Bell wasn't that important. That's not how

617
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 1: we said it. Well to some degree that that there

618
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:41,360
Speaker 1: was a game for levy on Bell not to be involved,

619
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:43,920
Speaker 1: it would be that one. But back to Greg's point

620
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:46,920
Speaker 1: with the offensive line of the Patriots, Yeah, there have

621
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:50,360
Speaker 1: been some cracks with this unit, and their offense hasn't

622
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:52,120
Speaker 1: been that great in general for a few weeks. So

623
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:54,960
Speaker 1: that's part of the reason Greg's a little scared thee

624
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 1: I'm kind of saying that I'm scared when I'm really

625
00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 1: not that, to be honest. All right, let's move on

626
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 1: next to Mark Sessler, who is uh. He's looking at

627
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:05,240
Speaker 1: lambeau Field. He's excited about this game, but he's looking

628
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:07,640
Speaker 1: at the Cowboys running back to Marco Murray and wondering

629
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:10,120
Speaker 1: how he will do against that Packers defense. I mean,

630
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:12,400
Speaker 1: outside of mother Nature number one, you gotta deal with

631
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:16,880
Speaker 1: the Packers offensive. But I don't know that she's She's

632
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:19,640
Speaker 1: variable her behaviors up and down. Now, I mean the

633
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:21,880
Speaker 1: Packers at home averaging about thirty nine and a half

634
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 1: points per game. So the Cowboy's got to shorten this

635
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:26,320
Speaker 1: game with to Marco Murray, here's the video up here,

636
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:28,160
Speaker 1: and that's what they've been doing all year. But in

637
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:31,520
Speaker 1: the four of his last six games under four yards

638
00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:34,040
Speaker 1: per carry. And so the question is is you wearing down?

639
00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:37,480
Speaker 1: I'm not sure. It's just that he's been banned up here, Murray,

640
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:39,200
Speaker 1: he doesn't look quite the same in West. I know

641
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:41,360
Speaker 1: you pointed out in weeks past two, and so the

642
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:43,719
Speaker 1: question is can the Cowboys go in and do against

643
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:46,600
Speaker 1: Green Bay a defense that four of the games they've

644
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:49,680
Speaker 1: allowed underheartrhunder yards rushing have happened in the second half

645
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:52,560
Speaker 1: of the season. Held the Patriots to about eighty five yards,

646
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:55,360
Speaker 1: held the Bucks to sixteen. It's not the same defense

647
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:57,520
Speaker 1: from the start of the season. I think, what the

648
00:31:57,560 --> 00:31:59,240
Speaker 1: point that West has been making for a couple of

649
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 1: weeks now about Murray and maybe not being as explosive

650
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:04,400
Speaker 1: as fair But I thought he ran pretty well. That's

651
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:08,880
Speaker 1: the thing, right, That's what I was saying. I was

652
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:12,520
Speaker 1: thinking was like, didn't he look good against Detroit? They're

653
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:14,680
Speaker 1: gonna have to do that all game against Green Bay

654
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 1: because green Bay is gonna score points at a different

655
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:19,760
Speaker 1: rate in Detroit. So that's my concern. Can they play

656
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 1: the game that they've you know that the way they

657
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:24,880
Speaker 1: beat Seattle and other teams season. I think the Cowboys

658
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:27,920
Speaker 1: can hang in the shootout with anybody. Now, whether they're

659
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:29,600
Speaker 1: gonna win a shoot out in Lambau, I don't know

660
00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:32,160
Speaker 1: about that. But to your point, I think Murray needs

661
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:33,760
Speaker 1: to show up and needs to have a good game.

662
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:36,320
Speaker 1: What if it never becomes a shootout because the Packers

663
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:38,600
Speaker 1: are just that much better than the Cowboys. Could happen,

664
00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:44,520
Speaker 1: it could be a not a shootout. It's very real possible. Uh. Finally,

665
00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:48,520
Speaker 1: my big concern heading into Sunday or this weekend is

666
00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:51,720
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning his ability to win a potential shootout with

667
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:53,959
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck in Denver if it comes to that, because

668
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:57,320
Speaker 1: when I look at these two teams, and uh, when

669
00:32:57,320 --> 00:32:59,120
Speaker 1: I look at these two teams and these two quarterbacks,

670
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:02,440
Speaker 1: I see them actually going in opposite directions. Manning has

671
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:04,720
Speaker 1: not been terrible. When you look at his numbers last

672
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:07,440
Speaker 1: eight games, they're not bad. So like some of this

673
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:08,920
Speaker 1: has been dressed up a little bit to make it

674
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:11,640
Speaker 1: look like Manning has fallen off the map, but he's

675
00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:13,840
Speaker 1: not the same guy was at the beginning of the season.

676
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:16,040
Speaker 1: And then I watch Luck and I see what Andrew

677
00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:19,480
Speaker 1: lux been able to do, especially on this week, and

678
00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:21,320
Speaker 1: I really love the way he played, even though his

679
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:23,040
Speaker 1: numbers might not reflect that he had one of his

680
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:25,000
Speaker 1: best games. So this will be a good game to

681
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:27,640
Speaker 1: watch to see how Manning looks in the playoffs in

682
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:30,720
Speaker 1: cold weather. Yeah, I mean he's still I mean, the

683
00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:33,240
Speaker 1: guy's been throwing floaters. He's leaving the league and floaters

684
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:35,520
Speaker 1: that's always been an issue with him. But I really

685
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:37,240
Speaker 1: think that will be interesting to see how he plays

686
00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:40,280
Speaker 1: in this setting against the quarterback that to me, is

687
00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:42,520
Speaker 1: about to search passing. When you talk about the best

688
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:47,280
Speaker 1: cubes and this video, if you watch this video on NFL, now,

689
00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:50,120
Speaker 1: I mean, it's almost hateful towards Manning. It's almost mean

690
00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:52,480
Speaker 1: you're just showing the best passes Andrew Luck's ever made,

691
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:54,640
Speaker 1: and like the worst floaters Peyton Manning. I mean, this

692
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:56,840
Speaker 1: guy is not a bottom. He's still okay Peyton Manning,

693
00:33:57,160 --> 00:33:59,280
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. I I don't think that this

694
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:01,240
Speaker 1: is a situation of the Broncos are in deep trouble

695
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:03,800
Speaker 1: because Peyton Manning is the quarterback. But I wonder if

696
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:06,320
Speaker 1: this is the game where the Colts knock off the

697
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:09,440
Speaker 1: Broncos and Luck plays much better than Peyton Manning and

698
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:13,080
Speaker 1: it's remembered as this is when Andrew Luck passed Peyton

699
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:15,200
Speaker 1: Manning and the passing the torch moment. I don't know

700
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:17,800
Speaker 1: a little bit of a cesslor that that happens. And

701
00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:21,120
Speaker 1: that's just that's how you're going to Rosenthal route. You

702
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:22,759
Speaker 1: like to look at the big picture and how this

703
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:24,920
Speaker 1: will be seen years down the road. And then Manning

704
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:30,120
Speaker 1: retires in April, as I predicted since August, so Mark

705
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:34,279
Speaker 1: Sessler's fourteen Sandwich is writing on that matter happened. So

706
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:38,880
Speaker 1: those are four big concerns entering the divisional playoffs, and uh,

707
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:43,040
Speaker 1: I thought they were all concerning. I'm concerned about you

708
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:48,160
Speaker 1: guys also and myself. I'm concerned. Cessler never buttons the

709
00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:51,320
Speaker 1: collared buttons that they I mean, they're there for a reason.

710
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:53,680
Speaker 1: They want you to be button them, but you always

711
00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:55,760
Speaker 1: let it just fly. So I'm just supposed to follow

712
00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:58,400
Speaker 1: all of society. This is, by the way, this is

713
00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:02,319
Speaker 1: a little blue This things about a little circular file.

714
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:04,480
Speaker 1: This shirt needs to go. You can see through it.

715
00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:08,799
Speaker 1: I be honest with you. Just did an NFL Now

716
00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:11,040
Speaker 1: spot with it. Very concerned. I thought that when Santa

717
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:14,400
Speaker 1: came to you're saying there might be nipple and that

718
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:16,759
Speaker 1: would be unfortunately thought. I thought when Santa came that

719
00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:18,520
Speaker 1: this was one of the shirts that would be retired.

720
00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:21,200
Speaker 1: I'm not surprised to see it again, you know, picking

721
00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:23,720
Speaker 1: shirts in the dark at six am on the West Coast.

722
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:25,640
Speaker 1: I don't know what I show up to working. Okay,

723
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:27,479
Speaker 1: fair enough, all right, let's hit the mail bag before

724
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:29,400
Speaker 1: we get out of here. A lot of good stuff

725
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:35,040
Speaker 1: as always from you people. People just didn't sound very nice. Wow,

726
00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:39,280
Speaker 1: new people. You're great people. I mean you great people.

727
00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:41,680
Speaker 1: See if one word makes a big difference. Uh. So

728
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:44,440
Speaker 1: let's go down it. Uh let's see where do we

729
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:46,880
Speaker 1: want to start? Oh, this is an easy one. Ricardo

730
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:50,960
Speaker 1: Gomes at Richie Kidd. Will West eat a super softball

731
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:54,960
Speaker 1: pass before the Super Bowl? Yes? West will, even if

732
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:57,200
Speaker 1: it's like literally the day or two before the super Bowl,

733
00:35:57,280 --> 00:36:00,520
Speaker 1: it's coming, West. Your day of reckoning is near your thoughts.

734
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:03,360
Speaker 1: I am happy to put this behind me. We've mentioned

735
00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:06,600
Speaker 1: when it will happen on the podcast several times. Understandably,

736
00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:08,920
Speaker 1: not all the listeners listen to every single podcast. So

737
00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:12,520
Speaker 1: super Bowl week, so maybe it's in it's in Phoenix.

738
00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:16,960
Speaker 1: Maybe it'll have some sort of Southwest Chipotle like theme

739
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:19,200
Speaker 1: under the sopha pants. I like this kind of party.

740
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:21,680
Speaker 1: Just make sure you and West, it's up to totally

741
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:24,280
Speaker 1: your discretion if you want to wash your pants beforehand

742
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:26,440
Speaker 1: or what. But you just gotta turn the moment and

743
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:29,240
Speaker 1: start move my offball career has been on a hiatus

744
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:31,520
Speaker 1: for a year. So they are they are washed, They're clean,

745
00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:34,479
Speaker 1: They're put away in a closet. Ye, I'll wash him again.

746
00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:38,480
Speaker 1: I brought this up downstairs to us. This is from Manuke,

747
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:42,839
Speaker 1: who is a editor actually for NFL Media. Very good man,

750
00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:53,680
Speaker 1: This is the question, what is the protocol for throwing

751
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:57,560
Speaker 1: a proper playoff party? Uh? How can a random Johnny

752
00:36:57,640 --> 00:37:01,480
Speaker 1: still keep it play? I don't spartan you know, he's

757
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:21,799
Speaker 1: anyone under the age of thirty West party is going

758
00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:24,800
Speaker 1: to be basically a baby boomer party. I think I

759
00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:27,880
Speaker 1: hate to be I'm gonna sound like a scrooge, but

760
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:30,040
Speaker 1: I don't really like watching games with a bunch of

761
00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:32,560
Speaker 1: other people. If it's gonna be like one or two

762
00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:34,839
Speaker 1: people and they're kind of focused on the game, that's

763
00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:37,439
Speaker 1: fun in general, like a group of eight or ten

764
00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:40,880
Speaker 1: where half this is the This is the mistake that

765
00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:43,959
Speaker 1: people always make when they especially Super Bowl parties, because

766
00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:46,399
Speaker 1: I've been to a few before I started working here.

767
00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:48,719
Speaker 1: They go out of their way to make it like

768
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:51,640
Speaker 1: almost like a regular party where you invite, you know,

769
00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:54,080
Speaker 1: a lot of people that don't know anything about the game,

770
00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:56,360
Speaker 1: whether it's guys that don't know about sports or girls

771
00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:59,080
Speaker 1: that don't follow sports. And then they're all sitting around

772
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:02,239
Speaker 1: and they're only in it for the quote commercials. And

773
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:04,799
Speaker 1: then when the game's actually getting to the nitty gritty,

774
00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:07,759
Speaker 1: nobody's paying attention. Everybody's drunk or half drunk or just

775
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:10,520
Speaker 1: checked out because it's four hours after kick off. Sound

776
00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:12,879
Speaker 1: like a good time. And and then you're the real

777
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:14,959
Speaker 1: football fans are trying to watch a game, and people

778
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:18,160
Speaker 1: are being annoying. So you just keep it tight, keep

779
00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:20,960
Speaker 1: it right, and make sure everyone's a real football fanboy.

780
00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:24,480
Speaker 1: I don't even feel like anyone in this room likes people.

781
00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:28,640
Speaker 1: That's the I the select amount of people I think.

782
00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:31,440
Speaker 1: I I disagree with you. I say, you have all

783
00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:33,520
Speaker 1: the fun you can possibly have, make the day epic.

784
00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:36,279
Speaker 1: You can always rewatch the game. Have a multiple room

785
00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:40,280
Speaker 1: party where there's a serious television and people watching seriously.

786
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:42,000
Speaker 1: But in the rest of the house, especially if it's

787
00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:44,600
Speaker 1: your team in there, it changes things a little bit. Well, Greg,

788
00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:46,719
Speaker 1: most of us don't have our team in the super Bowl.

789
00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:50,279
Speaker 1: Never crossed my mind if the Jets ever in the

790
00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:52,000
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, there will be no one in the room

791
00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:55,480
Speaker 1: except for my father and my brother probably, and that's it.

792
00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:57,200
Speaker 1: And it would be a lock of the door, and

793
00:38:57,280 --> 00:38:59,480
Speaker 1: that's it. I don't think you guys really understand what

794
00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:02,760
Speaker 1: a party is. You're putting a lot of rules in stipulations. Okay,

795
00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:09,239
Speaker 1: wes have a party. If that's what you're saying. I

796
00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:11,439
Speaker 1: would not have a party at all. Just I just

797
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:15,960
Speaker 1: I just suggested a multi room invent where everyone of

798
00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:21,359
Speaker 1: every mood could have fun. Very democratic. Al right. So

799
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:25,040
Speaker 1: this is from Tom Marshall, one of our UK listeners.

800
00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:28,120
Speaker 1: Loved our UK listeners at red Zona. Oh I like

801
00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:31,239
Speaker 1: that Red Zona UK. If Jerry Jones invited you into

802
00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:34,319
Speaker 1: his suite for a playoff game, would you go? Could

803
00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:36,840
Speaker 1: you handle the exposure? This is a call back to

804
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:40,000
Speaker 1: earlier in the podcast. We're talking about Chris Christie getting

805
00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:42,640
Speaker 1: left hanging on a high tent and getting ridiculed for

806
00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:44,840
Speaker 1: being there. Would you want to be in that box

807
00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:47,120
Speaker 1: if you were invited? Of course, people that say no

808
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:50,839
Speaker 1: to experiences that they couldn't otherwise have. I mean, those

809
00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:52,640
Speaker 1: are the people that don't they don't live at all.

810
00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:56,959
Speaker 1: You gotta go. That'd be fun. I'm less is gonna

811
00:39:56,960 --> 00:39:59,040
Speaker 1: say no, I know it. No, I'm I'm actually gonna

812
00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:03,560
Speaker 1: say just makes just to see what's going on there.

813
00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:05,479
Speaker 1: I mean, it'd be a crazy spot to be agree

814
00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:07,759
Speaker 1: with Greg. You have to take advantage of these experiences

815
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:09,719
Speaker 1: in life when they come up. It's a two part question.

816
00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:12,480
Speaker 1: So I would absolutely go if asked. But could I

817
00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:14,640
Speaker 1: handle the exposure. I don't know. If I could be

818
00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:17,799
Speaker 1: very nervous about the eight hundred fox cutaways to me

819
00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:19,799
Speaker 1: in the booth. I'd have to be on my best

820
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:23,319
Speaker 1: behavior all times, watching how how much I'm drinking, don't

821
00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:25,880
Speaker 1: pick your nose, don't get left hanging on a high tent.

822
00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:27,200
Speaker 1: That's a lot of pressure. What if you were on

823
00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:30,799
Speaker 1: bifucle cleansing duty. Yeah, you don't want to be that guy.

824
00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:34,279
Speaker 1: That's that's yeah, I want to see what's going on

825
00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:37,319
Speaker 1: with that guy. The bifocal cleaning guy. I want to

826
00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:39,759
Speaker 1: know what Jarry's drinking. I want to know what he's

827
00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:41,520
Speaker 1: saying about Jason Garrett during the game. There's a lot

828
00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:43,920
Speaker 1: of fun stuff to take out of that. Moving on,

829
00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:46,160
Speaker 1: this is from Sarah Peters, one of our favorites at

830
00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:50,919
Speaker 1: Indie Sarah Uh. Aaron Rodgers came out recently, and Uh,

831
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:54,440
Speaker 1: in an interview said that he quotes The Prince's Bride

832
00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:58,280
Speaker 1: the Night seven, romantic comedy classic a lot to teammates.

833
00:40:58,320 --> 00:40:59,839
Speaker 1: A lot of them have no idea what he's talking

834
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:02,640
Speaker 1: out because most of them were never weren't even born

835
00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:06,040
Speaker 1: when that movie came out. In your estimation, Sarah Peters

836
00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:09,760
Speaker 1: asks which movie have you seen and or quoted the most?

837
00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:13,759
Speaker 1: But those are much different answer answers, aren't they? I

838
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:16,600
Speaker 1: don't know you guys, start. I think I've seen Casablanca

839
00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:22,279
Speaker 1: the most, probably quoted Caddyshack, Animal House, one of those

840
00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:27,640
Speaker 1: two Uncle Casablancas the movie you've seen the mostly How

841
00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:30,360
Speaker 1: are you not married yet? You old cad you romantic

842
00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:34,920
Speaker 1: old dogs. We're going to dig into another podcast on that.

843
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:37,160
Speaker 1: I gotta think about. I will jump in. I will

844
00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:39,840
Speaker 1: the movie I've seen the most and probably quoted the

845
00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:44,320
Speaker 1: most is The Naked Gun starring Leslie Nielsen comedy classic.

846
00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:46,640
Speaker 1: If you've not seen, you have to see it. I've

847
00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:49,359
Speaker 1: used so many of the lines from that movie over

848
00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:51,440
Speaker 1: and over again, and probably in an Aaron Rodgers way

849
00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:53,840
Speaker 1: where people don't even know what I'm talking about. Half

850
00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:58,160
Speaker 1: the time, Dan draws a parallel between himself and the

851
00:41:58,160 --> 00:42:01,279
Speaker 1: greatest quarterback. Well, I'm trying to come up with the

852
00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:03,040
Speaker 1: right answer, and I think it has to be a

853
00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:05,919
Speaker 1: movie that I would have watched thirty something times before

854
00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:08,600
Speaker 1: I was even fifteen, because that's the that's the most.

855
00:42:08,880 --> 00:42:11,640
Speaker 1: And I think the answers there are are might be

856
00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:16,200
Speaker 1: Summer School, Remember Summer. I think I probably watched that

857
00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:18,520
Speaker 1: about thirty times. I definitely haven't quoted it a lot,

858
00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:21,600
Speaker 1: since I'm not really a quoting movie type. I always

859
00:42:23,560 --> 00:42:26,560
Speaker 1: I always make that joke about one rib from I'm

860
00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:28,960
Speaker 1: Gonna Get You Seca, So maybe that I don't know,

861
00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:32,720
Speaker 1: all right, that's good. And finally Mark I'm Gonna lost.

862
00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:35,000
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't. I love I love movies,

863
00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:37,600
Speaker 1: but I don't go around quoting them. I just don't.

864
00:42:37,640 --> 00:42:42,040
Speaker 1: I don't answer the first one. No, I think it's

865
00:42:42,080 --> 00:42:45,160
Speaker 1: a kid. I probably saw Empire Strikes Back like eighties

866
00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:47,400
Speaker 1: seven times. It's got to be up in the in

867
00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:50,719
Speaker 1: the mix. Thin red line I've seen about that's a

868
00:42:50,719 --> 00:42:55,880
Speaker 1: good one. Legitimate ciniphy, at least for popcorn movies directed

869
00:42:55,920 --> 00:42:59,480
Speaker 1: but directed by Jerry Bruckheimer. I'm not a fan of

870
00:42:59,520 --> 00:43:02,399
Speaker 1: brook ruck at all. What is the movie you've seen

871
00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:05,760
Speaker 1: the most and quoted? Movie I've seen the most definitely

872
00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:07,840
Speaker 1: has to be The Lion Kink. I probably done a

873
00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:09,480
Speaker 1: few colds from that. If I would say a movie

874
00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:14,000
Speaker 1: I've probably quoted the most as American gangster Deel Washington.

875
00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:18,279
Speaker 1: It's a really really good movie, great soundtrack. That's one

876
00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:19,920
Speaker 1: of those movies. I really liked it in the theater

877
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:21,920
Speaker 1: and then just never saw it again. I just remember

878
00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:25,360
Speaker 1: the one I probably quote the most. That's here a

879
00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:28,040
Speaker 1: quote your favorite quote of it? I mean, the easiest

880
00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:31,279
Speaker 1: one is I'm your huckle berry. I'll blow you right up.

881
00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:34,960
Speaker 1: That wildcats asked I've never even seen teams down. Oh

882
00:43:35,040 --> 00:43:39,440
Speaker 1: you guys are missing great, you've never seen My favorite

883
00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:45,640
Speaker 1: naked gunline is I realized that Wow, Frank trap and

884
00:43:45,719 --> 00:43:48,439
Speaker 1: rest in peace? All right. Finally, this is We're gonna

885
00:43:48,440 --> 00:43:51,600
Speaker 1: go again back to our newsroom. David Eally one of

886
00:43:51,600 --> 00:43:54,880
Speaker 1: our favorite guys down in the newsroom. Eternally single, but

887
00:43:54,920 --> 00:43:57,759
Speaker 1: a really good catch somebody give David. I like that

888
00:43:57,800 --> 00:44:00,000
Speaker 1: none of these questions have anything to do with football.

889
00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:01,960
Speaker 1: How long do you need to keep a New Year's

890
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:05,480
Speaker 1: resolution before it's not that embarrassing to break? Does January

891
00:44:05,520 --> 00:44:09,000
Speaker 1: five count? I think one day everybody breaks. I think

892
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:11,160
Speaker 1: it's understood that when you make a New Year's resolution,

893
00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:12,759
Speaker 1: it will be broken. I think you get to the

894
00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:15,759
Speaker 1: point where you realize stop making these, right I'm at.

895
00:44:15,880 --> 00:44:17,879
Speaker 1: I'm at the point I'm at even past that point

896
00:44:17,880 --> 00:44:20,080
Speaker 1: where I it didn't even never cross my mind to

897
00:44:20,120 --> 00:44:22,600
Speaker 1: even think about making them. You're a problem now. Your

898
00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:26,279
Speaker 1: April resolution is much more steely than your New Year's Either.

899
00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:29,920
Speaker 1: That's my birthday, that's my wife's birthday too. That's what

900
00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:33,759
Speaker 1: I'm talking about, all right, Greg? Now, Greg made me selfconscious,

901
00:44:33,760 --> 00:44:36,680
Speaker 1: So we need to drop one more football football head,

902
00:44:36,719 --> 00:44:39,760
Speaker 1: got a little uncomfortable, a little hot under the collar, Greg,

903
00:44:39,760 --> 00:44:44,759
Speaker 1: How would you rank the quarterbacks? Here? I will tell

904
00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:46,200
Speaker 1: you what they are because this one is one of

905
00:44:46,239 --> 00:44:48,600
Speaker 1: the ones I answered for the mail bag. Here we

906
00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:52,480
Speaker 1: are you ready? Uh? One Aaron Rodgers to Tom Brady,

907
00:44:52,520 --> 00:44:55,960
Speaker 1: three Payton Manning for Andrew Luck, five Joe Flacco playoff

908
00:44:56,080 --> 00:45:00,040
Speaker 1: version six Romo seven, Russell Wilson, eight, Cam Newton and

909
00:45:00,160 --> 00:45:03,120
Speaker 1: nine scrowning arms, Rob Blow, Oh Man, you got paying

910
00:45:03,160 --> 00:45:06,080
Speaker 1: Manny way too high? Got Russell Wilson, wait too low?

911
00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:09,040
Speaker 1: You go Rogers, Andrew Luck, and then you just deal

912
00:45:09,080 --> 00:45:11,040
Speaker 1: with the rest. Get Connor Shaw in there around number

913
00:45:11,040 --> 00:45:14,440
Speaker 1: five or six. I like this playoff Flacco thought, that's interesting.

914
00:45:14,680 --> 00:45:16,520
Speaker 1: I actually like that list. Other than I think I'd

915
00:45:16,520 --> 00:45:19,480
Speaker 1: flipped Manny in Luck, I might befall agreement. My interesting

916
00:45:19,480 --> 00:45:21,560
Speaker 1: thought was that I think everyone agrees Rodgers is one,

917
00:45:21,640 --> 00:45:23,840
Speaker 1: or should agree, and everyone should agree that Newton is

918
00:45:23,880 --> 00:45:26,480
Speaker 1: number eight on this group. You could almost mix up

919
00:45:26,520 --> 00:45:28,359
Speaker 1: any of that, the rest of those guys and any

920
00:45:28,360 --> 00:45:30,359
Speaker 1: other you want, and you wouldn't have an insane list.

921
00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:33,759
Speaker 1: What's the Flacco thing? Like, I think we have to

922
00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:38,279
Speaker 1: see what happens here, because outside of one playoff trip,

923
00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:40,759
Speaker 1: everyone has been a disaster. In the second game to

924
00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:44,080
Speaker 1: some degree, It's not like he's been this pristine guy.

925
00:45:44,400 --> 00:45:46,919
Speaker 1: Should have went to the super Bowl again. If Justin

926
00:45:46,960 --> 00:45:49,680
Speaker 1: Tucker doesn't let him down. He's up there. I'm not

927
00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:51,959
Speaker 1: putting him low. It's just that if he does it again,

928
00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:53,600
Speaker 1: then you've got a real argument. I would put him

929
00:45:53,600 --> 00:45:56,319
Speaker 1: second to last despite the playoff stuff. Now that I

930
00:45:56,320 --> 00:45:58,480
Speaker 1: think about, I still would rather have Romo this weekend

931
00:45:58,600 --> 00:46:01,040
Speaker 1: or Russell Wilson last weekend. I didn't have Russell Wilsome

932
00:46:01,080 --> 00:46:03,640
Speaker 1: pretty high. I'm with TD on this one, all right.

933
00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:06,120
Speaker 1: So that's it for Tuesday's edition to the Around the

934
00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:09,840
Speaker 1: NFL podcast. We'll be back on Thursday with our massive,

935
00:46:10,400 --> 00:46:14,839
Speaker 1: hugely important and influential divisional Around preview where we break

936
00:46:14,880 --> 00:46:18,280
Speaker 1: down each of the game's uh really a deep breakdown.
