0:00:01.360 --> 0:00:02.040
<v Speaker 1>The volume.

0:00:08.440 --> 0:00:12.840
<v Speaker 2>You know you don't do the Bowl championships. That should

0:00:12.840 --> 0:00:15.720
<v Speaker 2>always be the expectation. All right, man, you go ahead.

0:00:16.840 --> 0:00:20.600
<v Speaker 2>Welcome back to the Richard Sherman Podcast. An incredible week,

0:00:20.840 --> 0:00:25.239
<v Speaker 2>some upsets, a team taking their first loss to the season. Mitchell,

0:00:25.280 --> 0:00:29.000
<v Speaker 2>Your Detroit Lions found a way though, in a big way.

0:00:29.960 --> 0:00:32.159
<v Speaker 1>They did, Richard, And I was rocking that han no

0:00:32.360 --> 0:00:36.120
<v Speaker 1>Lulu Blue all day. You already know it. Our friends

0:00:36.120 --> 0:00:40.480
<v Speaker 1>over at Brightling, I was rocking it. You already know start.

0:00:41.880 --> 0:00:43.720
<v Speaker 1>I know you have it on. We got to start

0:00:43.720 --> 0:00:48.320
<v Speaker 1>out in the NFC West, the Sherman moule two points

0:00:48.640 --> 0:00:53.800
<v Speaker 1>whatever it has been several times now in San Francisco.

0:00:54.000 --> 0:00:58.600
<v Speaker 1>Seattle goes on the road and gets what is by

0:00:58.680 --> 0:01:02.120
<v Speaker 1>Vegas standards and up set big win in the division.

0:01:02.480 --> 0:01:06.480
<v Speaker 1>They climb back. What are your thoughts because this game

0:01:06.640 --> 0:01:08.440
<v Speaker 1>not a whole lot of people thought this was going

0:01:08.480 --> 0:01:12.880
<v Speaker 1>this way. San Francisco is finally healthy ish and they lose.

0:01:13.440 --> 0:01:15.640
<v Speaker 2>Richard. Your thoughts on this game, Well, it was a

0:01:15.720 --> 0:01:20.800
<v Speaker 2>chaotic week in Seattle. You know their center Connor Williams

0:01:21.120 --> 0:01:25.319
<v Speaker 2>retiring in the middle of the bye week. You know

0:01:25.400 --> 0:01:28.680
<v Speaker 2>they cut their leading tackler, so you know it seemed chaotic,

0:01:28.760 --> 0:01:31.600
<v Speaker 2>but they this defense responded in a big way, holding

0:01:32.920 --> 0:01:35.640
<v Speaker 2>San Francisco forty nine ers to twenty points in the game,

0:01:36.080 --> 0:01:39.880
<v Speaker 2>really keeping Christian McCaffrey in check for a majority of

0:01:39.920 --> 0:01:42.840
<v Speaker 2>this game. Nineteen carries seventy nine yards, four catch for

0:01:42.880 --> 0:01:46.720
<v Speaker 2>twenty seven. I mean, felt felt like a solid game

0:01:46.800 --> 0:01:49.920
<v Speaker 2>from him. You know, still almost one hundred yards total offense,

0:01:50.000 --> 0:01:51.840
<v Speaker 2>but just could not get in the end zone again,

0:01:52.760 --> 0:01:54.880
<v Speaker 2>just the way their season is gone. When they need

0:01:54.920 --> 0:01:58.919
<v Speaker 2>a touchdown, they get field goals. And that's the frustrating

0:01:58.920 --> 0:02:02.640
<v Speaker 2>part for this offense, because they got a turnover, they

0:02:02.680 --> 0:02:05.320
<v Speaker 2>got a sut and change opportunity where it looked like, hey,

0:02:05.360 --> 0:02:08.359
<v Speaker 2>the momentum is going in San Francisco forty nine ers favor,

0:02:08.720 --> 0:02:10.400
<v Speaker 2>looks like they were going to be able to make

0:02:10.440 --> 0:02:12.880
<v Speaker 2>a big play, score touchdown, kind of start to pull

0:02:12.919 --> 0:02:16.880
<v Speaker 2>away in that moment, and the Seattle Seahawks got the stop,

0:02:16.960 --> 0:02:19.600
<v Speaker 2>held him to a field goal. Then you look up,

0:02:19.680 --> 0:02:23.240
<v Speaker 2>Nicholas john Bosa gets hurt and the Seattle Seahawks take

0:02:23.280 --> 0:02:26.960
<v Speaker 2>full advantage of it, go down the field, score touchdowns.

0:02:27.120 --> 0:02:30.720
<v Speaker 2>Both both touchdowns were scored after nick Bosa was down

0:02:30.720 --> 0:02:34.360
<v Speaker 2>with an injury, Jackson Smith and Jigba ten catches for

0:02:34.360 --> 0:02:37.799
<v Speaker 2>one hundred and ten yards. He continues his excellent play

0:02:38.160 --> 0:02:42.639
<v Speaker 2>throughout this these last few weeks he's been on. I mean,

0:02:42.720 --> 0:02:46.519
<v Speaker 2>he's been playing really impressive football. Geno Smith twenty five

0:02:46.560 --> 0:02:48.720
<v Speaker 2>of thirty two for two hundred and twenty one yards,

0:02:48.840 --> 0:02:53.760
<v Speaker 2>had the interception, but really really played well when they

0:02:53.840 --> 0:02:56.480
<v Speaker 2>needed it, used his legs when he had to have it,

0:02:56.600 --> 0:03:01.520
<v Speaker 2>especially on the game winning touchdown. And everybody, you know,

0:03:01.639 --> 0:03:04.239
<v Speaker 2>even folks in Seattle, you know, haven't been as high

0:03:04.320 --> 0:03:06.480
<v Speaker 2>on Gino this year, even though I think he's still

0:03:06.520 --> 0:03:09.400
<v Speaker 2>playing really good football. He's just been beating up you know,

0:03:09.440 --> 0:03:13.239
<v Speaker 2>he got sacked four times in this game. And with

0:03:13.560 --> 0:03:16.520
<v Speaker 2>all that said, they're five and five, win off the

0:03:16.560 --> 0:03:20.880
<v Speaker 2>bye week against a very tough opponent, got another divisional

0:03:20.919 --> 0:03:23.200
<v Speaker 2>opponent coming up next week, and you kind of control

0:03:23.240 --> 0:03:25.200
<v Speaker 2>your own destiny from this point. You know. With this

0:03:25.240 --> 0:03:27.680
<v Speaker 2>win against the San Francisco forty nine ers, they have

0:03:27.800 --> 0:03:30.840
<v Speaker 2>the tiebreakers against a lot of these teams. The Seattle

0:03:30.840 --> 0:03:33.760
<v Speaker 2>Seahawks do, and the San Francisco forty nine ers are

0:03:33.800 --> 0:03:37.600
<v Speaker 2>one and three within a division. So it's just a

0:03:37.680 --> 0:03:40.320
<v Speaker 2>really rough season, you know, because if you're looking at

0:03:40.360 --> 0:03:43.080
<v Speaker 2>tie breakers and how tight this race is, when you

0:03:43.120 --> 0:03:46.320
<v Speaker 2>get to one and three in the division, you're not

0:03:46.360 --> 0:03:48.240
<v Speaker 2>going to have the tiebreaker over a lot of these teams.

0:03:48.280 --> 0:03:50.840
<v Speaker 2>So hopefully you get the tie with the Rams, and

0:03:50.880 --> 0:03:54.320
<v Speaker 2>you get the tie with the Arizona Cardinals, but you

0:03:54.480 --> 0:03:57.240
<v Speaker 2>just you know, you're putting yourself in a tough position.

0:03:57.320 --> 0:03:59.600
<v Speaker 1>They're going to have an opportunity to separate themselves from

0:03:59.600 --> 0:04:03.720
<v Speaker 1>the pack next week against Arizona Cardinals. Richard, But this

0:04:03.840 --> 0:04:06.680
<v Speaker 1>San Francisco forty nine ers team is clinging on for

0:04:06.800 --> 0:04:11.280
<v Speaker 1>dear life. And while they're finally healthy, it's not the

0:04:11.280 --> 0:04:15.240
<v Speaker 1>playmakers that you would expect. It's Juwan Jennings that they're

0:04:15.280 --> 0:04:18.560
<v Speaker 1>leaning on for ten catches, ninety one yards and a touchdown.

0:04:19.240 --> 0:04:23.600
<v Speaker 1>Like what's going on with this offense because while they

0:04:23.640 --> 0:04:26.960
<v Speaker 1>seem to be getting healthy, they're not leaning on Deebo.

0:04:27.080 --> 0:04:31.080
<v Speaker 1>They're not leaning on CMC. I know he's roughly back

0:04:31.200 --> 0:04:33.919
<v Speaker 1>now and they're gonna lean on a more down the stretch.

0:04:34.000 --> 0:04:37.000
<v Speaker 1>But the time is now for the San Francisco forty

0:04:37.080 --> 0:04:39.599
<v Speaker 1>nine ers team. They've got to start winning now, and

0:04:39.640 --> 0:04:43.200
<v Speaker 1>they're going to go on the road against the Packers

0:04:43.240 --> 0:04:46.600
<v Speaker 1>who've been playing impressive ball all season. I mean, once

0:04:46.640 --> 0:04:49.240
<v Speaker 1>is it going to start. The pressure is building up

0:04:49.279 --> 0:04:51.920
<v Speaker 1>on this team. They've got to win now, Richard.

0:04:52.640 --> 0:04:54.279
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they got to figure it out and they got

0:04:54.279 --> 0:04:57.160
<v Speaker 2>to start executing. You know, one hundred and fifty nine yards,

0:04:57.160 --> 0:05:00.520
<v Speaker 2>one touchdown and one interception from Brock party one twenty eight.

0:05:00.760 --> 0:05:02.520
<v Speaker 2>It's just not good enough in a game like this

0:05:02.560 --> 0:05:05.440
<v Speaker 2>where you had to have more. Juwan Jennings played another

0:05:05.560 --> 0:05:08.160
<v Speaker 2>excellent game. He was a standout in this game. Made

0:05:08.200 --> 0:05:10.839
<v Speaker 2>a ton of big plays, huge third down conversions every

0:05:10.839 --> 0:05:13.360
<v Speaker 2>single time they needed at third and eleven where it

0:05:13.360 --> 0:05:16.320
<v Speaker 2>looked like he dragged half of the DB's in Seattle

0:05:17.240 --> 0:05:20.000
<v Speaker 2>to the first down marker, and you need more of that.

0:05:20.120 --> 0:05:22.800
<v Speaker 2>Got a touchdown on that drive, and you just need

0:05:22.839 --> 0:05:25.359
<v Speaker 2>more consistent play. And it just doesn't seem like the

0:05:25.400 --> 0:05:28.359
<v Speaker 2>plays are there as they have been in the past.

0:05:28.400 --> 0:05:30.560
<v Speaker 2>In the red zone execution, I mean it's been a

0:05:30.600 --> 0:05:33.800
<v Speaker 2>storyline the entire season. They were the number one red

0:05:33.880 --> 0:05:36.520
<v Speaker 2>zone offense last year. They cannot find a way their

0:05:36.520 --> 0:05:38.919
<v Speaker 2>bottom of the pack this year in terms of getting

0:05:38.920 --> 0:05:41.240
<v Speaker 2>the ball in the end zone, not just driving down

0:05:41.240 --> 0:05:43.840
<v Speaker 2>into the red zone and kicking field goals there. I mean,

0:05:43.880 --> 0:05:45.799
<v Speaker 2>I guess they're best in the league at that right now.

0:05:46.680 --> 0:05:48.760
<v Speaker 2>But you can't have that if you want to be

0:05:48.800 --> 0:05:52.240
<v Speaker 2>a championship football team, and that's the team that everybody expects.

0:05:52.240 --> 0:05:56.880
<v Speaker 2>That the faithful expected from them. I expected it from them,

0:05:56.880 --> 0:06:00.720
<v Speaker 2>the amount of talent this team had. You expected them

0:06:00.760 --> 0:06:03.400
<v Speaker 2>to go out and play better football and execute at

0:06:03.440 --> 0:06:05.760
<v Speaker 2>a higher level than they have been and that you know,

0:06:06.200 --> 0:06:09.040
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure Kyle is gonna change something up, something up,

0:06:09.080 --> 0:06:11.480
<v Speaker 2>and switch something up to spice it up, because right

0:06:11.520 --> 0:06:14.679
<v Speaker 2>now it's just looks stagnant offensively and that the holes

0:06:14.680 --> 0:06:16.800
<v Speaker 2>aren't there in the run game. You're not seeing the

0:06:16.880 --> 0:06:20.039
<v Speaker 2>big yack in the past game. You're not seeing a

0:06:20.040 --> 0:06:22.760
<v Speaker 2>big time explosive plays that they're known for and they've

0:06:22.800 --> 0:06:26.240
<v Speaker 2>been known for throughout Kyle's tenure in San Francisco. But

0:06:26.640 --> 0:06:28.919
<v Speaker 2>the Seattle Seahawks did a really good job in this

0:06:29.040 --> 0:06:32.520
<v Speaker 2>game of just sticking around, hanging around, making plays when

0:06:32.520 --> 0:06:36.080
<v Speaker 2>they were there. Devin Witherspoon tips the ball up to

0:06:36.200 --> 0:06:39.640
<v Speaker 2>Jonathan Hankins for his first career interception. Huge playing the

0:06:39.640 --> 0:06:43.240
<v Speaker 2>ball game while the San Francisco forty nine ers were

0:06:43.800 --> 0:06:47.200
<v Speaker 2>in their own territory steal and that ended up contributing

0:06:47.240 --> 0:06:50.440
<v Speaker 2>to points for the Seattle Seahawks. And that's those are

0:06:50.480 --> 0:06:52.919
<v Speaker 2>the things, tight window throws that brock Perty's trying to

0:06:52.960 --> 0:06:55.400
<v Speaker 2>make and trying to force in there that led help

0:06:55.520 --> 0:06:58.880
<v Speaker 2>lead to this defeat at the hands of the Seattle Seahawks.

0:06:58.920 --> 0:07:01.920
<v Speaker 2>But this is a really really positive game. Derek Hall

0:07:01.960 --> 0:07:06.920
<v Speaker 2>and Draymond Jones continued their strong seasons, sack eats, DK

0:07:07.200 --> 0:07:09.440
<v Speaker 2>metcalf mates and big plays when they had to have him.

0:07:09.520 --> 0:07:13.480
<v Speaker 2>Had seven catches for seventy yards. Your boy, your boy

0:07:13.560 --> 0:07:17.560
<v Speaker 2>K nine, had fourteen carries fifty four yards, got an

0:07:17.680 --> 0:07:20.520
<v Speaker 2>end zone. And you just look at this team and

0:07:20.880 --> 0:07:22.960
<v Speaker 2>you're doing what you need to do to win. And

0:07:23.000 --> 0:07:24.640
<v Speaker 2>that's really all you need to do in this league.

0:07:24.680 --> 0:07:27.400
<v Speaker 2>You know, you win ugly, you win pretty. But this

0:07:27.440 --> 0:07:29.920
<v Speaker 2>is a good confidence booster. I thought their defense, the

0:07:29.920 --> 0:07:32.720
<v Speaker 2>Seattle Seahawks defense played really really well on this game.

0:07:33.200 --> 0:07:35.880
<v Speaker 2>They got the stops, They had tight coverage. Tarik Wooland

0:07:35.880 --> 0:07:40.200
<v Speaker 2>was tighten coverage. Witherspoon was tightan coverage all day, disruptive

0:07:40.240 --> 0:07:44.800
<v Speaker 2>from from the d line, disruption Byron Murphy. Ernest Jones

0:07:44.800 --> 0:07:47.280
<v Speaker 2>looked really good still kind of trying to find his

0:07:47.320 --> 0:07:50.840
<v Speaker 2>way within this defense. But the young guy Knight. They

0:07:50.920 --> 0:07:53.800
<v Speaker 2>looked good in their first game since all the change.

0:07:53.840 --> 0:07:55.880
<v Speaker 2>You know, you expected them to come out and execute

0:07:55.880 --> 0:07:58.600
<v Speaker 2>at a high level off the bye week, fresh legs,

0:07:58.600 --> 0:08:00.880
<v Speaker 2>et cetera, et cetera. I to see what they do

0:08:00.960 --> 0:08:03.680
<v Speaker 2>next week against the Arizona Cardinals, who have been red hot,

0:08:03.840 --> 0:08:08.680
<v Speaker 2>playing really good football. Kyler Murray, that defense, Buddha Baker

0:08:08.720 --> 0:08:11.480
<v Speaker 2>and those boys have been playing really good. So I'm

0:08:12.040 --> 0:08:15.760
<v Speaker 2>looking forward to seeing if the Seattle Seahawks can can

0:08:15.960 --> 0:08:19.960
<v Speaker 2>really come back into Loomenfield and protect home field and

0:08:20.000 --> 0:08:22.400
<v Speaker 2>come out with another win. Because if they can, then

0:08:22.440 --> 0:08:25.600
<v Speaker 2>it really starts to heat up the playoff conversation. It's

0:08:25.640 --> 0:08:28.960
<v Speaker 2>time for a look at this week's tastiest matchup in

0:08:29.040 --> 0:08:33.280
<v Speaker 2>a segment we're calling Sunday Night Foodball, brought to you

0:08:33.320 --> 0:08:34.199
<v Speaker 2>by Uber eats.

0:08:34.760 --> 0:08:38.040
<v Speaker 1>Another team that's been red hot at Kansas City Chiefs.

0:08:38.200 --> 0:08:41.040
<v Speaker 1>They go on the road against the Buffalo Bills. This

0:08:41.200 --> 0:08:44.200
<v Speaker 1>was much while for football in Buffalo, and it was

0:08:45.120 --> 0:08:49.800
<v Speaker 1>the Buffalo Bills controlled this game early and often, and

0:08:49.840 --> 0:08:53.360
<v Speaker 1>you got to look at it from Josh Allen's standpoint,

0:08:53.760 --> 0:08:56.360
<v Speaker 1>this is a team that could never get over that hump,

0:08:56.640 --> 0:08:59.600
<v Speaker 1>and that was the Kansas City Chiefs, and they controlled

0:08:59.640 --> 0:09:02.079
<v Speaker 1>this game. I don't want to say that they dominated

0:09:02.080 --> 0:09:04.440
<v Speaker 1>it because they didn't, but they will always seem to

0:09:04.440 --> 0:09:07.720
<v Speaker 1>be in control. Richard, what were your thoughts on this game,

0:09:07.760 --> 0:09:10.800
<v Speaker 1>because to me, it looked like Buffalo was the batter

0:09:10.880 --> 0:09:13.119
<v Speaker 1>team early often and throughout.

0:09:13.360 --> 0:09:15.840
<v Speaker 2>Well it's just like Josh Allen said earlier in the week,

0:09:16.040 --> 0:09:17.880
<v Speaker 2>he said, I mean, they've been able to beat the

0:09:18.520 --> 0:09:20.520
<v Speaker 2>Kansas City Chiefs in the regular season, they just cannot

0:09:20.520 --> 0:09:22.880
<v Speaker 2>beat him in the playoffs. So this isn't as surprising,

0:09:24.120 --> 0:09:26.880
<v Speaker 2>you know, of a win as anybody is going to say.

0:09:26.960 --> 0:09:30.160
<v Speaker 2>You know, it's the Kansas City Chiefs have been playing

0:09:30.200 --> 0:09:32.560
<v Speaker 2>on borrowed time for a number of weeks. You know,

0:09:32.559 --> 0:09:34.280
<v Speaker 2>could have lost last week, could have lost the week

0:09:34.320 --> 0:09:39.280
<v Speaker 2>before that, and this week it looked like again, if

0:09:39.280 --> 0:09:41.880
<v Speaker 2>they get a stop somewhere, then you get Patrick Mahomes

0:09:41.960 --> 0:09:44.800
<v Speaker 2>the ball back. But instead Josh Allen breaks a twenty

0:09:44.840 --> 0:09:48.040
<v Speaker 2>six yard touchdown run late in that game to put

0:09:48.040 --> 0:09:51.520
<v Speaker 2>the dagger to close this game up, to kill the

0:09:51.559 --> 0:09:54.199
<v Speaker 2>hope of the Kansas City Chiefs, because even then, if

0:09:54.200 --> 0:09:57.200
<v Speaker 2>they kick a field goal, and at the end of

0:09:57.200 --> 0:09:59.760
<v Speaker 2>that game and Patch Mahoons gets the ball back, I

0:09:59.760 --> 0:10:02.480
<v Speaker 2>think everybody in the stands, everybody watching that game thinks

0:10:02.480 --> 0:10:05.280
<v Speaker 2>he's gonna win that game again. So this didn't feel

0:10:05.280 --> 0:10:08.400
<v Speaker 2>like a dominant win, but the Buffalo Bills did look

0:10:08.440 --> 0:10:10.720
<v Speaker 2>like the better team in this game. Patch mahomes through

0:10:10.760 --> 0:10:14.000
<v Speaker 2>an early interception and just never looked right throughout this game.

0:10:14.040 --> 0:10:18.719
<v Speaker 2>He completed passes to eleven different receivers. Again, sometimes you're

0:10:18.760 --> 0:10:21.079
<v Speaker 2>trying to figure out which guys are working for you,

0:10:20.800 --> 0:10:23.400
<v Speaker 2>who's going to be your go to guy. He ended

0:10:23.480 --> 0:10:26.440
<v Speaker 2>up getting four catches for sixty one yards and a

0:10:26.520 --> 0:10:30.199
<v Speaker 2>big time touchdown from Xavier Worthy. Kareem Hump continues to

0:10:30.760 --> 0:10:34.880
<v Speaker 2>carry the load in the running game, but they've looked

0:10:34.880 --> 0:10:37.280
<v Speaker 2>like this the entire season. The difference is the thirty

0:10:37.280 --> 0:10:39.080
<v Speaker 2>points that Buffalo was able to put up on this

0:10:39.160 --> 0:10:42.520
<v Speaker 2>Kansas City defense. Because this Kansas City defense has been elite,

0:10:42.600 --> 0:10:46.000
<v Speaker 2>one of the best defenses in football throughout this season

0:10:46.080 --> 0:10:50.280
<v Speaker 2>and previous seasons. SPACs has been calling an incredible game.

0:10:50.280 --> 0:10:52.680
<v Speaker 2>They've been covering well, they've been rushing a passer well.

0:10:52.880 --> 0:10:55.920
<v Speaker 2>But Josh Allen had his way twenty seven of forty

0:10:56.040 --> 0:10:59.359
<v Speaker 2>two hundred and sixty two yards one touchdown in the interception.

0:10:59.880 --> 0:11:03.120
<v Speaker 2>He rushed the ball twelve times for fifty five yards

0:11:03.240 --> 0:11:06.400
<v Speaker 2>in that huge touchdown that put the d nail in

0:11:06.480 --> 0:11:09.360
<v Speaker 2>the coffin at the end of the game. I'm sure

0:11:09.360 --> 0:11:11.839
<v Speaker 2>this is good for this young team's confidence because a

0:11:11.920 --> 0:11:14.680
<v Speaker 2>lot of these young players weren't in the same roles

0:11:14.720 --> 0:11:17.480
<v Speaker 2>that they are in now. Curtis Samuel hasn't been a

0:11:17.520 --> 0:11:21.800
<v Speaker 2>part of this rivalry. Taylor Rapp had a huge interception

0:11:21.840 --> 0:11:23.320
<v Speaker 2>in this game, and I don't think he was as

0:11:23.400 --> 0:11:25.360
<v Speaker 2>huge of a part of this rivalry as he was

0:11:25.400 --> 0:11:29.640
<v Speaker 2>in this game. And obviously Khalil Shakur Kir was a

0:11:29.679 --> 0:11:31.520
<v Speaker 2>part of it, but he wasn't the go to guy

0:11:31.600 --> 0:11:34.079
<v Speaker 2>that he is now. So I'm interested to see what

0:11:34.120 --> 0:11:36.240
<v Speaker 2>this does for them going into the playoffs if they

0:11:36.240 --> 0:11:39.760
<v Speaker 2>have to face the Kansas City Chiefs again, that's the thing.

0:11:40.080 --> 0:11:42.720
<v Speaker 2>Does this give them confidence going into that week. I

0:11:42.720 --> 0:11:45.520
<v Speaker 2>know they're feeling really, really good going into this bye week.

0:11:45.760 --> 0:11:49.160
<v Speaker 2>The Kansasity Chiefs probably feel slightly disappointed. I'm sure Andy

0:11:49.200 --> 0:11:52.080
<v Speaker 2>Reid feels good, because again, you don't want to have

0:11:52.120 --> 0:11:54.600
<v Speaker 2>an undefeated season. You want to have coachable moments. You

0:11:54.600 --> 0:11:56.480
<v Speaker 2>want to be able to tell your team, hey, we

0:11:56.559 --> 0:11:58.360
<v Speaker 2>got to do better than this, we got to play

0:11:58.400 --> 0:12:00.480
<v Speaker 2>better than this, we got to correct the things, and

0:12:00.520 --> 0:12:02.959
<v Speaker 2>that this gives him opportunity to do that, to coach

0:12:03.000 --> 0:12:06.000
<v Speaker 2>his team, to tell that defense, hey, you're you're not

0:12:06.080 --> 0:12:08.600
<v Speaker 2>world beaters yet. You know, we've won two back to

0:12:08.640 --> 0:12:10.600
<v Speaker 2>back in I mean, we've won back to back Super

0:12:10.600 --> 0:12:13.240
<v Speaker 2>Bowls and we've played started off nine to zero. But

0:12:13.280 --> 0:12:15.079
<v Speaker 2>you see this team hit us in the mouth. So

0:12:15.120 --> 0:12:17.719
<v Speaker 2>we do have things that we can correct. Things we

0:12:17.760 --> 0:12:20.440
<v Speaker 2>can't fix, things we can get better at. And I'm

0:12:20.559 --> 0:12:23.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm I get to go watch this team in a

0:12:23.000 --> 0:12:26.280
<v Speaker 2>couple of weeks when they played the Raiders in Kansas

0:12:26.320 --> 0:12:28.600
<v Speaker 2>City on Black Friday. So I'm excited to go out

0:12:28.600 --> 0:12:31.280
<v Speaker 2>there and see what they do against the Carolina Panthers

0:12:31.320 --> 0:12:33.000
<v Speaker 2>and what they do against the Raiders when we come

0:12:33.000 --> 0:12:33.360
<v Speaker 2>to town.

0:12:33.800 --> 0:12:36.160
<v Speaker 1>But the Kansas City Chiefs the last several games, they

0:12:36.200 --> 0:12:40.360
<v Speaker 1>haven't looked all that impressive. You know. They beat the

0:12:40.440 --> 0:12:44.040
<v Speaker 1>Las Vegas Raiders by seven points, they win against the

0:12:44.040 --> 0:12:47.199
<v Speaker 1>Buccaneers in overtime, you know, and then they go and

0:12:47.280 --> 0:12:49.560
<v Speaker 1>squeak one off with the block field goal. Against the

0:12:49.600 --> 0:12:51.640
<v Speaker 1>Denver Broncos and then you see them go on the

0:12:51.720 --> 0:12:55.959
<v Speaker 1>road and lose. Uh, let's my two scores against the

0:12:56.240 --> 0:13:00.880
<v Speaker 1>Buffalo Bills. I mean they've been skating by all season

0:13:01.000 --> 0:13:04.240
<v Speaker 1>and finally they get caught. I mean, are the Kansas

0:13:04.240 --> 0:13:08.120
<v Speaker 1>City Chiefs that good as their nine to one record reflects?

0:13:09.200 --> 0:13:12.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Menchell, I mean they're back to back Super Bowl champions.

0:13:12.640 --> 0:13:14.760
<v Speaker 2>So you can say what you want about them skating

0:13:14.800 --> 0:13:17.320
<v Speaker 2>by games. They skated through most of the last season,

0:13:17.320 --> 0:13:20.840
<v Speaker 2>and then when it came to the playoffs, they dominated, dominated, dominated,

0:13:21.000 --> 0:13:22.840
<v Speaker 2>and you could say they snuck by those games. They

0:13:22.880 --> 0:13:27.560
<v Speaker 2>didn't blow the Baltimore Ravens out in AFC Championship game.

0:13:27.600 --> 0:13:30.520
<v Speaker 2>They didn't blow the San Francisco for nine Ers get out.

0:13:30.559 --> 0:13:34.480
<v Speaker 2>In the Super Bowl. They won an ot walk off touchdown,

0:13:34.760 --> 0:13:37.280
<v Speaker 2>but they won and they got to hold the trophy

0:13:37.320 --> 0:13:39.200
<v Speaker 2>at the end. So are they the team? Are they

0:13:39.240 --> 0:13:41.880
<v Speaker 2>are as good as their record says because they are

0:13:41.920 --> 0:13:46.000
<v Speaker 2>back to back Super Bowl champions Because when you aren't,

0:13:46.040 --> 0:13:49.240
<v Speaker 2>when you don't have the championship pedigrade, people can say, oh,

0:13:49.280 --> 0:13:50.800
<v Speaker 2>we wonder how they're going to be in the playoffs.

0:13:50.880 --> 0:13:52.360
<v Speaker 2>We know how this team is going to be in

0:13:52.400 --> 0:13:54.880
<v Speaker 2>the playoffs. There are a lot of guys still on

0:13:54.880 --> 0:13:57.760
<v Speaker 2>this team, still on this roster with two Super Bowl

0:13:57.880 --> 0:14:01.120
<v Speaker 2>rings on in very prominent position, and so this team

0:14:01.160 --> 0:14:03.920
<v Speaker 2>will be fine, especially with the best quarterback in football.

0:14:04.200 --> 0:14:06.000
<v Speaker 2>I don't think you can count this team out or

0:14:06.040 --> 0:14:08.280
<v Speaker 2>say they're not as good as their record, especially with

0:14:08.440 --> 0:14:11.840
<v Speaker 2>the way their defense. Chris Jones is still going. Nick

0:14:11.880 --> 0:14:15.480
<v Speaker 2>Bolton is playing really good football justin Reid, you know,

0:14:15.600 --> 0:14:18.840
<v Speaker 2>friend of the program. We got so many people that

0:14:18.880 --> 0:14:21.240
<v Speaker 2>are playing really good football as a part of that

0:14:21.320 --> 0:14:24.640
<v Speaker 2>team that I'm not really ready to say they're not

0:14:24.960 --> 0:14:27.840
<v Speaker 2>who we thought they were. That would be that'd be

0:14:27.880 --> 0:14:29.800
<v Speaker 2>silly to say, you know, this is a loss that

0:14:29.840 --> 0:14:33.320
<v Speaker 2>they probably needed. I'm sure their coaching staff is thankful.

0:14:34.240 --> 0:14:36.560
<v Speaker 2>I don't think anybody wants an undefeated season going into

0:14:36.600 --> 0:14:38.480
<v Speaker 2>playoffs because you just feel like your first loss is

0:14:38.520 --> 0:14:40.680
<v Speaker 2>going to be at the worst possible time.

0:14:42.440 --> 0:14:44.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to play spoiler, he Richard, I don't.

<v Speaker 1>But let's take it to the number one team in

0:17:25.480 --> 0:17:30.680
<v Speaker 1>Richard Sherman's Power Ranks, Lions. The heinlo Lulu Blue. I'm

0:17:30.680 --> 0:17:34.040
<v Speaker 1>playing some forecasting here, Richard then future number one team

0:17:34.080 --> 0:17:37.400
<v Speaker 1>of Richard Sheran Power Ranks. The Detroit Lions took on

0:17:37.440 --> 0:17:42.359
<v Speaker 1>the Jacksonville Jaguars fifty two to six, and I'm pretty

0:17:42.359 --> 0:17:46.080
<v Speaker 1>sure that was after the third quarter. They're laying the

0:17:46.200 --> 0:17:52.320
<v Speaker 1>stone cold SmackDown on the Jacksonville Jaguars. What didn't the

0:17:52.359 --> 0:17:56.240
<v Speaker 1>Detroit Lions show you today that? I mean, this could

0:17:56.359 --> 0:18:00.399
<v Speaker 1>this win could not be more impressive. Jacksonville scored first,

0:18:00.440 --> 0:18:02.840
<v Speaker 1>mind you, they got out three to nothing, and the

0:18:02.880 --> 0:18:05.840
<v Speaker 1>Detroit Lions just said, ah, that's good enough. We'll take

0:18:05.880 --> 0:18:09.600
<v Speaker 1>it from here. Your thoughts on my hometown Detroit Lions,

0:18:09.680 --> 0:18:10.719
<v Speaker 1>I would love to hear it.

0:18:11.440 --> 0:18:14.520
<v Speaker 2>Well, their defense looked really good, you know, obviously Mac

0:18:14.600 --> 0:18:19.919
<v Speaker 2>Jones and this Jacksonville Jaguars offense haven't shown much all season.

0:18:20.640 --> 0:18:24.040
<v Speaker 2>They didn't show much when they had the other quarterback

0:18:24.080 --> 0:18:26.000
<v Speaker 2>at the helm. They didn't show much with Mack Jones.

0:18:26.040 --> 0:18:29.840
<v Speaker 2>But still this defense, you know, beating bad teams is

0:18:29.880 --> 0:18:32.159
<v Speaker 2>still an art. Like there are teams that played to

0:18:32.200 --> 0:18:34.200
<v Speaker 2>the level of their opponent. That's not what the Detroit

0:18:34.240 --> 0:18:37.600
<v Speaker 2>Lions are. They showed them, Hey, there's a huge gap

0:18:37.640 --> 0:18:40.960
<v Speaker 2>between what y'all are and what we are. And they

0:18:41.400 --> 0:18:45.000
<v Speaker 2>showed it over and over and over, executing every single

0:18:45.080 --> 0:18:48.320
<v Speaker 2>drive their first sevens drives down the field, they scored

0:18:48.400 --> 0:18:51.560
<v Speaker 2>touchdowns and again, back to the conversation with San Francisco

0:18:51.560 --> 0:18:54.439
<v Speaker 2>forty nine, that's the difference between elite contenders is that

0:18:54.480 --> 0:18:56.239
<v Speaker 2>they score when they get into the red zone. When

0:18:56.240 --> 0:18:58.240
<v Speaker 2>they get into the red zone, you know, it's pretty

0:18:58.320 --> 0:19:03.040
<v Speaker 2>much a done deal your faatest they're scoring. And the

0:19:03.119 --> 0:19:07.080
<v Speaker 2>Lions coming off that very as Jamiir Gibbs said, weird

0:19:07.200 --> 0:19:10.119
<v Speaker 2>game where they had all the interceptions and everything working

0:19:10.160 --> 0:19:13.120
<v Speaker 2>against them, Murphy's law, everything that could go wrong went

0:19:13.160 --> 0:19:15.240
<v Speaker 2>wrong and they were still able to win that game.

0:19:15.280 --> 0:19:18.320
<v Speaker 2>I think it gives the team a bit of a shield,

0:19:18.440 --> 0:19:22.160
<v Speaker 2>you know, a bit of an invincibility complex because you say, hey,

0:19:22.280 --> 0:19:24.320
<v Speaker 2>even on our worst day, we can still win. So

0:19:25.320 --> 0:19:27.920
<v Speaker 2>they're not having their worst day in this game. Jared

0:19:27.920 --> 0:19:30.399
<v Speaker 2>Golf twenty four to twenty nine, four hundred and twelve yards,

0:19:30.440 --> 0:19:34.959
<v Speaker 2>passing four touchdowns in a perfect passer rating would almost

0:19:34.960 --> 0:19:37.760
<v Speaker 2>get him back into that MVP conversation if he didn't

0:19:37.760 --> 0:19:40.119
<v Speaker 2>throw five picks the last time Mitchell, so he's nowhere

0:19:40.119 --> 0:19:43.880
<v Speaker 2>near the conversation at this point. But great game from

0:19:43.880 --> 0:19:47.200
<v Speaker 2>aman Ras Saint Brown. A huge game from Jamison Williams,

0:19:47.200 --> 0:19:49.639
<v Speaker 2>probably his best game as a pro. Four catches, one

0:19:49.680 --> 0:19:52.720
<v Speaker 2>hundred and twenty four yards and a touchdown. Cool to

0:19:52.720 --> 0:19:56.120
<v Speaker 2>see him get back involved that. That incredible safety duo

0:19:56.200 --> 0:19:59.200
<v Speaker 2>played their butt off. Brian Branch had a really really

0:19:59.280 --> 0:20:03.240
<v Speaker 2>crucial hit in the game, Kirby Joseph had the interception.

0:20:03.400 --> 0:20:07.880
<v Speaker 2>So you just saw really good performances from all over

0:20:07.920 --> 0:20:12.159
<v Speaker 2>the place. Jamier Gibbs and David Montgomery both got a

0:20:12.200 --> 0:20:16.080
<v Speaker 2>touchdown in the first quarter. One got one yard touchdown

0:20:16.119 --> 0:20:18.280
<v Speaker 2>than Jamier Gibbs. That I'm faster than everybody and I'm

0:20:18.280 --> 0:20:21.040
<v Speaker 2>gonna get a touchdown too, and so that was really cool.

0:20:21.080 --> 0:20:24.199
<v Speaker 2>He also had the reception Jamiir Gibbs had the reception

0:20:24.280 --> 0:20:26.720
<v Speaker 2>for fifty four yards where he just looked so fast

0:20:26.760 --> 0:20:28.680
<v Speaker 2>and I thought he was scoring a touchdown on that one.

0:20:28.760 --> 0:20:33.640
<v Speaker 2>But they look great. They look like a really good team.

0:20:34.000 --> 0:20:35.560
<v Speaker 2>And this is what they've looked like. They look like

0:20:35.600 --> 0:20:37.040
<v Speaker 2>the team that are supposed to look like when you

0:20:37.080 --> 0:20:39.240
<v Speaker 2>talk about a contender, and they're the best team in

0:20:39.280 --> 0:20:41.800
<v Speaker 2>the NFC right down. And I think that's clear. With

0:20:41.840 --> 0:20:48.399
<v Speaker 2>Tony Gonzalez on on the broadcast was saying that it

0:20:48.480 --> 0:20:50.920
<v Speaker 2>may be somebody else as the best team in NFC,

0:20:51.000 --> 0:20:53.480
<v Speaker 2>the Philadelphia Eagles, and I said, not so fast. My

0:20:53.560 --> 0:20:56.560
<v Speaker 2>friendly courso works both ways, and he said, not so

0:20:56.680 --> 0:20:59.120
<v Speaker 2>fast when you're talking about the other teams as well,

0:20:59.160 --> 0:21:01.399
<v Speaker 2>because they are not as complete as the Detroit Lions

0:21:01.440 --> 0:21:04.239
<v Speaker 2>are right now. And getting Zadarius Smith is only going

0:21:04.280 --> 0:21:06.080
<v Speaker 2>to help him. He kind of got banged up a

0:21:06.119 --> 0:21:08.200
<v Speaker 2>little bit in this game. I'm pretty sure he's all right,

0:21:09.240 --> 0:21:11.560
<v Speaker 2>but as he continues to get out there and get rolling,

0:21:11.600 --> 0:21:13.200
<v Speaker 2>I think he's going to be really impactful.

0:21:13.640 --> 0:21:15.840
<v Speaker 1>Well, you gotta love it, Richard. We've seen it. I

0:21:15.840 --> 0:21:18.000
<v Speaker 1>mean you saw it, guys. If you have not tuned

0:21:18.040 --> 0:21:20.960
<v Speaker 1>into the Jumior Gibbs episode with Richard earlier this week.

0:21:21.640 --> 0:21:25.879
<v Speaker 1>This podcast is turned into a Detroit Lions fan base podcast.

0:21:26.040 --> 0:21:28.800
<v Speaker 1>I love to see the Hano Lulu Blue tuning in

0:21:28.840 --> 0:21:32.919
<v Speaker 1>every week. Let's take it to arguably the game of

0:21:32.960 --> 0:21:39.280
<v Speaker 1>the day, the Pittsburgh Steelers against the Baltimore Ravens. Pittsburgh

0:21:39.359 --> 0:21:44.840
<v Speaker 1>turns out a huge win divisional foe the Vegas had.

0:21:44.880 --> 0:21:48.119
<v Speaker 1>This game is a three point game in Baltimore's favor.

0:21:48.119 --> 0:21:50.879
<v Speaker 1>A lot of people are saying, hey, Baltimore's got this,

0:21:51.040 --> 0:21:54.680
<v Speaker 1>no question about it. But Richard, you pointed, week after

0:21:54.760 --> 0:21:58.720
<v Speaker 1>week after week, the division rivalry's saying, these division games

0:21:58.760 --> 0:22:02.560
<v Speaker 1>are different. Baltimore is showing us something here. I mean,

0:22:02.640 --> 0:22:05.400
<v Speaker 1>this team, they're eight and two, when they're looking like it,

0:22:05.880 --> 0:22:11.560
<v Speaker 1>they win against the Baltimore Ravens Pittsburgh. Are they the

0:22:11.680 --> 0:22:16.240
<v Speaker 1>team right now in the AFC North because they certainly.

0:22:15.800 --> 0:22:19.760
<v Speaker 2>Look like it. Well, I mean, they definitely do. And

0:22:20.280 --> 0:22:22.320
<v Speaker 2>obviously you got to give them credit because they just

0:22:22.400 --> 0:22:25.800
<v Speaker 2>beat the team that was challenging them for that supremacy

0:22:25.840 --> 0:22:28.280
<v Speaker 2>and the team that won the AFC North last year

0:22:28.280 --> 0:22:31.640
<v Speaker 2>and the Baltimore Ravens. But the Baltimore Ravens are owing

0:22:31.640 --> 0:22:34.560
<v Speaker 2>to four in the last four matchups against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

0:22:34.560 --> 0:22:38.040
<v Speaker 2>And that's with whoever it is at quarterback. And it's

0:22:38.080 --> 0:22:43.879
<v Speaker 2>just like Lamar Jackson's struggles against Tomlin coach teams. It

0:22:43.920 --> 0:22:47.320
<v Speaker 2>doesn't matter if Kenny Pickett's at quarterback, if Mitchell Trabitsky's

0:22:47.359 --> 0:22:51.040
<v Speaker 2>a quarterback, They're finding a way to beat the Baltimore Ravens.

0:22:51.080 --> 0:22:55.760
<v Speaker 2>And this is with the super tandem of Lamar Jackson

0:22:55.760 --> 0:22:59.960
<v Speaker 2>and Derrick Henry. But again, Todd Monkin is falling victim

0:23:00.119 --> 0:23:04.280
<v Speaker 2>to the thing that Baltimore Ravens coordinators do every single

0:23:04.320 --> 0:23:07.280
<v Speaker 2>time things get tight in a ball game, and a

0:23:07.359 --> 0:23:10.359
<v Speaker 2>big time ball game, they stop running the football. And

0:23:10.560 --> 0:23:15.120
<v Speaker 2>everybody knows the statistics of their wins versus their losses.

0:23:15.200 --> 0:23:18.680
<v Speaker 2>Every time they lose, it's because Derek Henry has fifteen

0:23:18.760 --> 0:23:22.320
<v Speaker 2>carries or less. It's I think he averaged averages fourteen

0:23:22.400 --> 0:23:25.359
<v Speaker 2>carries in their losses and like twenty carries in their wins.

0:23:25.359 --> 0:23:28.240
<v Speaker 2>So it keep feeding the ball. But whenever they get

0:23:28.280 --> 0:23:31.120
<v Speaker 2>down in these games and it wasn't a huge lead,

0:23:31.200 --> 0:23:36.800
<v Speaker 2>they missed multiple field goals uncharacteristically. You know, Justin Tucker,

0:23:36.840 --> 0:23:41.080
<v Speaker 2>the All Pro Future Hall of Famer just could not

0:23:41.160 --> 0:23:43.400
<v Speaker 2>get the ball through the uprights early in this game.

0:23:43.440 --> 0:23:46.120
<v Speaker 2>If he makes those field goals, they likely win this game.

0:23:46.119 --> 0:23:49.560
<v Speaker 2>But he didn't, and the Pittsburgh Steelers Mike Tomlin knows

0:23:49.600 --> 0:23:52.200
<v Speaker 2>how to win in an ugly ball game. He knows

0:23:52.240 --> 0:23:55.560
<v Speaker 2>when things aren't going great, Hey, that defense is gonna

0:23:55.560 --> 0:23:58.719
<v Speaker 2>step up. And the Pittsburgh Steelers defense stepped up in

0:23:58.760 --> 0:24:01.800
<v Speaker 2>a big way. You just saw all their big time

0:24:01.880 --> 0:24:05.480
<v Speaker 2>guys stepping up. TJ. Watt had a sack. Peyton Wilson

0:24:05.520 --> 0:24:09.760
<v Speaker 2>had a really incredible one hand like diving, ripping away

0:24:09.800 --> 0:24:13.720
<v Speaker 2>interception late in the ball game that really turned the

0:24:13.800 --> 0:24:16.959
<v Speaker 2>tide to the Pittsburgh Steelers and really kind of closed

0:24:16.960 --> 0:24:20.840
<v Speaker 2>out this game. Cam Hayward had a huge deflection in

0:24:20.840 --> 0:24:23.280
<v Speaker 2>this game late in the game that they had to have.

0:24:23.400 --> 0:24:26.880
<v Speaker 2>Naji Harris eighteen carres for sixty three yards. Russell Wilson

0:24:26.880 --> 0:24:29.399
<v Speaker 2>didn't have the biggest game, you know, he struggled early on.

0:24:29.440 --> 0:24:32.400
<v Speaker 2>I think he had eighty eight yards, you know, somewhere

0:24:32.480 --> 0:24:34.080
<v Speaker 2>middle of the third quarter. But he turned it on

0:24:34.200 --> 0:24:36.919
<v Speaker 2>late twenty three to thirty six, two hundred and five yards.

0:24:37.200 --> 0:24:41.040
<v Speaker 2>Very costly interception in the end zone late in the game,

0:24:41.119 --> 0:24:44.800
<v Speaker 2>but played well enough, maybe big enough plays converted third

0:24:44.840 --> 0:24:46.719
<v Speaker 2>downs to help them win this game, to help them

0:24:46.800 --> 0:24:49.840
<v Speaker 2>run that clock, control the ball game, and that's what

0:24:49.840 --> 0:24:52.240
<v Speaker 2>they needed. That's what Tom the need to protect the ball,

0:24:52.560 --> 0:24:56.000
<v Speaker 2>run the clock. And I think his tight end probably

0:24:56.000 --> 0:24:58.320
<v Speaker 2>could have done helped him out a little bit. And

0:24:58.359 --> 0:25:00.440
<v Speaker 2>bad at that pass down the end zone. Didn't really

0:25:00.480 --> 0:25:02.159
<v Speaker 2>seem like he gave a lot of effort. But George

0:25:02.160 --> 0:25:05.040
<v Speaker 2>Pickens with another good game. I think he's really happy

0:25:05.040 --> 0:25:07.439
<v Speaker 2>to have Russell Wilson in the fold. Eight catches for

0:25:07.560 --> 0:25:12.040
<v Speaker 2>eighty nine yards. But it's concerned and it has to

0:25:12.080 --> 0:25:15.800
<v Speaker 2>be scary for Baltimore Ravens fans because it just seems

0:25:15.920 --> 0:25:19.760
<v Speaker 2>like another more of the same, Like, Okay, we have

0:25:20.720 --> 0:25:24.320
<v Speaker 2>an MVP candidate likely to win MVP. I mean touchdown

0:25:24.359 --> 0:25:26.280
<v Speaker 2>interception mister, But I don't think he had the same

0:25:26.480 --> 0:25:29.440
<v Speaker 2>regression that Jared Golf said. I don't know if one

0:25:29.480 --> 0:25:32.720
<v Speaker 2>touchdown one interception is five interceptions in a game. Those

0:25:32.720 --> 0:25:37.040
<v Speaker 2>aren't created equal, but it's definitely not the huge four

0:25:37.119 --> 0:25:39.960
<v Speaker 2>or five touchdown games he had been having. Derrick Henry

0:25:40.160 --> 0:25:42.600
<v Speaker 2>also got a touchdown fumbled for the first time in

0:25:42.680 --> 0:25:46.600
<v Speaker 2>five hundred and thirty eight touches. Not the kind of

0:25:46.640 --> 0:25:49.840
<v Speaker 2>game he's used to having. Obviously, you can't go away

0:25:49.840 --> 0:25:52.840
<v Speaker 2>from Derrick Henry just because he fumbles the football. But

0:25:54.280 --> 0:25:56.639
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what you do. This has to be

0:25:56.680 --> 0:25:58.600
<v Speaker 2>a lesson, and you would have thought they learned this

0:25:58.680 --> 0:26:01.760
<v Speaker 2>lesson after losing the playoffs the same way every year,

0:26:01.840 --> 0:26:05.320
<v Speaker 2>and everybody's saying the same thing, including their own staff, saying, Hey,

0:26:05.920 --> 0:26:08.399
<v Speaker 2>we went away from running the football. We'll never do that,

0:26:08.440 --> 0:26:10.399
<v Speaker 2>We'll never make that a mistake again. I don't know

0:26:10.440 --> 0:26:12.840
<v Speaker 2>why we did that. We went away from running the football.

0:26:12.840 --> 0:26:14.400
<v Speaker 2>I don't know why we did that. We went away

0:26:14.400 --> 0:26:16.159
<v Speaker 2>from winning the football. I don't know why we did that.

0:26:16.359 --> 0:26:19.720
<v Speaker 2>Stop doing it. Run the football. Run it run it,

0:26:19.880 --> 0:26:22.480
<v Speaker 2>run it run the football, Chris Brown. When you see

0:26:22.520 --> 0:26:28.679
<v Speaker 2>it running running, yeah, running like run the football. And

0:26:28.760 --> 0:26:32.160
<v Speaker 2>do I need to put the hat on because run them.

0:26:32.400 --> 0:26:34.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna have to. Because when they run the football,

0:26:34.960 --> 0:26:37.680
<v Speaker 2>they win football games. When they don't run a football game,

0:26:38.080 --> 0:26:40.920
<v Speaker 2>when they don't run the football, they lose. And it's

0:26:41.000 --> 0:26:43.280
<v Speaker 2>been true in the playoffs, it's been true all of

0:26:43.280 --> 0:26:45.520
<v Speaker 2>this year. When they lost to the Raiders, they didn't

0:26:45.560 --> 0:26:47.640
<v Speaker 2>run the football well. The Loft to Cleveland they didn't

0:26:47.680 --> 0:26:50.119
<v Speaker 2>run the football well. Kansas City they didn't run the

0:26:50.119 --> 0:26:52.960
<v Speaker 2>football well. The Pittsburgh they didn't run the football well.

0:26:53.720 --> 0:26:55.960
<v Speaker 2>It's a common theme. It's not hard to see. You

0:26:56.000 --> 0:26:59.399
<v Speaker 2>don't need analytics or research to really dive deep and

0:26:59.440 --> 0:27:01.840
<v Speaker 2>see it. You got one of the best running backs

0:27:01.880 --> 0:27:04.159
<v Speaker 2>in National Football League. Turn around and hand them the

0:27:04.160 --> 0:27:07.440
<v Speaker 2>ball sometimes at least twenty times a game. And sure

0:27:07.480 --> 0:27:09.280
<v Speaker 2>you can have Lamar throw at thirty if that's what

0:27:09.320 --> 0:27:10.760
<v Speaker 2>you want to do, but do not go away from

0:27:10.760 --> 0:27:13.399
<v Speaker 2>the run game. And that's what they did. Give the

0:27:13.440 --> 0:27:16.919
<v Speaker 2>Pittsburgh Steelers a lot of credit there. They're looking like

0:27:16.960 --> 0:27:20.160
<v Speaker 2>a top AFC contender. And if the Kansas City Chiefs

0:27:20.160 --> 0:27:22.159
<v Speaker 2>slip up again, you might look at him as a

0:27:22.200 --> 0:27:24.919
<v Speaker 2>one seed going into these playoffs. And I don't know

0:27:24.920 --> 0:27:27.320
<v Speaker 2>if Kansas City really wants to go down that road,

0:27:27.480 --> 0:27:30.360
<v Speaker 2>because they'd be seeing the Buffalo Bills a lot earlier

0:27:30.400 --> 0:27:31.120
<v Speaker 2>than they want to.

0:27:31.760 --> 0:27:35.280
<v Speaker 1>There's no question about it. This Steelers defense is nasty.

0:27:35.359 --> 0:27:38.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean this offense. I mean this is the second

0:27:38.040 --> 0:27:40.400
<v Speaker 1>time this season they've not scored a touchdown and won

0:27:40.440 --> 0:27:42.879
<v Speaker 1>a game. I mean, the rest of the NFL is

0:27:42.920 --> 0:27:46.359
<v Speaker 1>two to eighteen without scoring a touchdown in a game,

0:27:46.880 --> 0:27:49.320
<v Speaker 1>and the Pittsburgh Steelers have managed to win two games

0:27:49.320 --> 0:27:55.160
<v Speaker 1>without scoring touchdowns. Kudos to the Steelers, Yeah, I mean kudos.

0:27:56.200 --> 0:28:00.439
<v Speaker 1>That's huge. And Richard, you know all too well that

0:28:00.560 --> 0:28:04.480
<v Speaker 1>carries a team and Russell I don't want to speak

0:28:04.840 --> 0:28:07.600
<v Speaker 1>poorly about him by any meets because he seemed to

0:28:07.720 --> 0:28:12.159
<v Speaker 1>turn this offense around in Pittsburgh, but he's the beneficiary

0:28:12.200 --> 0:28:15.080
<v Speaker 1>of another great defense here. Let's see how far he

0:28:15.119 --> 0:28:18.159
<v Speaker 1>can take this Steelers team, because it seems to me

0:28:18.240 --> 0:28:20.680
<v Speaker 1>like he's got the weapons. He's got n Agie Harris,

0:28:20.680 --> 0:28:23.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean George Pickens. There is probably no bigger fan.

0:28:23.440 --> 0:28:25.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean, George Pickens is proving himself to be one

0:28:25.640 --> 0:28:28.840
<v Speaker 1>of the top receivers in this league ever since Russell

0:28:28.880 --> 0:28:33.000
<v Speaker 1>Wilson's taken over those reigns. So let's see what happens

0:28:33.000 --> 0:28:35.200
<v Speaker 1>here in Pittsburgh. They've got an opportunity. You're going to

0:28:35.240 --> 0:28:37.800
<v Speaker 1>see him first hand on Thursday Night Football, brought to

0:28:37.800 --> 0:28:41.760
<v Speaker 1>you by our friends at Prime Video. And Richard, you'll

0:28:41.960 --> 0:28:46.120
<v Speaker 1>walk away either impressed or in questions because this balt

0:28:46.400 --> 0:28:49.520
<v Speaker 1>This Pittsburgh Steelers team is eight and two. It doesn't

0:28:49.560 --> 0:28:51.760
<v Speaker 1>matter how you debate it. They are eight and two

0:28:52.040 --> 0:28:54.240
<v Speaker 1>and they proved it at home against one of the

0:28:54.240 --> 0:28:56.720
<v Speaker 1>best teams in the league in the Baltimore Ravens. Let's

0:28:56.720 --> 0:28:58.560
<v Speaker 1>see where they go from here. In terms of the

0:28:58.600 --> 0:29:02.040
<v Speaker 1>Baltimore Ravens, it's a hardball ball on Monday night football.

0:29:02.080 --> 0:29:05.200
<v Speaker 1>They're gonna take on the La Charters next. We'll see

0:29:05.200 --> 0:29:07.000
<v Speaker 1>how they recover from this loss.

0:29:07.560 --> 0:29:10.520
<v Speaker 2>Because again, these division games are weird. So even when

0:29:10.640 --> 0:29:13.120
<v Speaker 2>Pittsburgh's eight and two, when you feel really good about

0:29:13.120 --> 0:29:16.000
<v Speaker 2>this huge win against Baltimore, sometimes they're that's setting you

0:29:16.080 --> 0:29:19.080
<v Speaker 2>up for a letdown in another very tough division game

0:29:19.360 --> 0:29:22.080
<v Speaker 2>against the Cleveland Browns. And Jamis just threw for almost

0:29:22.160 --> 0:29:25.680
<v Speaker 2>four hundred yards against the Saints. Like, it's not that

0:29:25.760 --> 0:29:27.680
<v Speaker 2>they can't do it. It's not that they can't push

0:29:27.720 --> 0:29:29.560
<v Speaker 2>the ball down the field and they can't execute. So

0:29:29.840 --> 0:29:33.080
<v Speaker 2>I hope we don't they don't have a case of

0:29:33.800 --> 0:29:37.360
<v Speaker 2>overlooking the Cleveland Browns. And that's what I'm gonna say

0:29:37.480 --> 0:29:39.800
<v Speaker 2>on air Thursday night is just you know, this is

0:29:39.800 --> 0:29:42.640
<v Speaker 2>a really talented defense, a really good football team. But

0:29:42.840 --> 0:29:46.360
<v Speaker 2>if their offense struggles like they did because Cleveland's defense

0:29:46.440 --> 0:29:49.480
<v Speaker 2>is very capable. Miles Garrett is just as capable of

0:29:49.520 --> 0:29:52.000
<v Speaker 2>wrecking a game as anybody in this football league. And

0:29:52.080 --> 0:29:54.400
<v Speaker 2>so if you if they get out there and start

0:29:54.480 --> 0:29:57.360
<v Speaker 2>lollygagging and you let Jamis get hot, this can this

0:29:57.400 --> 0:30:00.560
<v Speaker 2>can get scary for Pittsburgh and Cleveland. So I I

0:30:00.600 --> 0:30:02.960
<v Speaker 2>know they deserve to feel good about this game and

0:30:03.000 --> 0:30:05.040
<v Speaker 2>feel good about their season eight and two. I'm sure

0:30:05.040 --> 0:30:07.520
<v Speaker 2>their fans could not have predicted them going eight and

0:30:07.600 --> 0:30:10.640
<v Speaker 2>two this season after seasons that they've had. But they

0:30:10.640 --> 0:30:13.160
<v Speaker 2>look like a really complete team and I can't wait

0:30:13.160 --> 0:30:15.560
<v Speaker 2>to see what they looked like Thursday, short week.

0:30:18.120 --> 0:30:21.640
<v Speaker 1>The Chicago Bears in desperate need of a win, going

0:30:21.720 --> 0:30:24.840
<v Speaker 1>under the five hundred mark. Last week, they're hosting the

0:30:24.880 --> 0:30:28.560
<v Speaker 1>Green Bay Packers at home. They make it super competitive

0:30:28.680 --> 0:30:33.360
<v Speaker 1>and lose by a blocked field goal. At the buzzer,

0:30:33.520 --> 0:30:36.280
<v Speaker 1>we saw what appeared to be a lot better game

0:30:36.280 --> 0:30:39.200
<v Speaker 1>from Caleb Williams. He looked a lot more comfortable in

0:30:39.200 --> 0:30:41.640
<v Speaker 1>the pocket. When the bocket broke down, he was scrambling,

0:30:41.920 --> 0:30:43.800
<v Speaker 1>he was picking up yards. He looked more like a

0:30:43.880 --> 0:30:46.840
<v Speaker 1>veteran out there than it did a rookie. And I

0:30:46.880 --> 0:30:49.880
<v Speaker 1>think Chicago needed to see that, but nonetheless they come

0:30:49.920 --> 0:30:54.000
<v Speaker 1>away with the loss. Richard, how does this happen for Chicago?

0:30:54.080 --> 0:30:57.040
<v Speaker 1>How do they turn the tides here? Because they had

0:30:57.080 --> 0:30:59.160
<v Speaker 1>this game and they lost it.

0:31:00.080 --> 0:31:02.840
<v Speaker 2>They just don't know how to finish. And you do

0:31:02.880 --> 0:31:04.760
<v Speaker 2>have to give kat Williams a lot of credit. He

0:31:04.800 --> 0:31:07.840
<v Speaker 2>looked really good. The offensive line looked better. At the

0:31:07.960 --> 0:31:11.720
<v Speaker 2>entire offense looked better. DeAndre Swift had a really cool

0:31:11.800 --> 0:31:14.280
<v Speaker 2>touchdown run where he made a corner miss in the

0:31:14.360 --> 0:31:19.360
<v Speaker 2>open field, got loose, got busy. Caleb Williams was making

0:31:19.400 --> 0:31:21.520
<v Speaker 2>plays with his legs, but he wasn't depending on it,

0:31:21.960 --> 0:31:24.200
<v Speaker 2>and you saw him rush the ball. You saw him

0:31:24.240 --> 0:31:26.400
<v Speaker 2>go out there and use his legs to really put

0:31:26.440 --> 0:31:28.800
<v Speaker 2>the defense in jeopardy and put the defense on its

0:31:28.800 --> 0:31:31.440
<v Speaker 2>heels and really make them adjust, make them have to

0:31:31.520 --> 0:31:34.560
<v Speaker 2>account for his legs in a way that he hadn't

0:31:34.640 --> 0:31:37.400
<v Speaker 2>really been doing throughout the season as much as he could.

0:31:37.560 --> 0:31:39.840
<v Speaker 2>And I think that opened up some plays for him.

0:31:39.920 --> 0:31:43.160
<v Speaker 2>He was getting the ball out quick on time, even

0:31:43.160 --> 0:31:46.360
<v Speaker 2>when he's looking left. Sometimes he glanced back right and

0:31:46.440 --> 0:31:48.680
<v Speaker 2>hit the check down for a lot of yards because

0:31:48.680 --> 0:31:51.960
<v Speaker 2>the defense is moving with him. And I thought I

0:31:52.000 --> 0:31:54.440
<v Speaker 2>thought he looked really solid, coming off a really tough game,

0:31:55.400 --> 0:31:59.200
<v Speaker 2>some tough conversations in that locker room. Teammates really frustrated

0:31:59.240 --> 0:32:01.600
<v Speaker 2>with his perform Larrence is in the past games. So

0:32:01.720 --> 0:32:04.240
<v Speaker 2>I thought this was really a step forward for this team.

0:32:04.520 --> 0:32:07.320
<v Speaker 2>It just sucks that they weren't able to finish because

0:32:07.840 --> 0:32:09.720
<v Speaker 2>in a game like that, that's how you take the

0:32:09.760 --> 0:32:11.880
<v Speaker 2>next step. You kick that field goal that you win it.

0:32:11.920 --> 0:32:14.320
<v Speaker 2>And you're talking about a team that may sneak into

0:32:14.360 --> 0:32:17.080
<v Speaker 2>the playoffs, the team that's feeling confident that they can

0:32:17.120 --> 0:32:20.520
<v Speaker 2>beat anyone, and that defense is playing like a defense

0:32:20.520 --> 0:32:24.040
<v Speaker 2>that can play with anyone. But they didn't. The phield

0:32:24.040 --> 0:32:26.680
<v Speaker 2>goal got blocked. Carl Brooks blocked the game winning phild

0:32:26.720 --> 0:32:28.640
<v Speaker 2>Gold got his fingertip on it, and that's all you

0:32:28.720 --> 0:32:31.000
<v Speaker 2>need at that distance to be able to get it.

0:32:31.120 --> 0:32:36.280
<v Speaker 2>Jordan Love though, he's a risk taker, and he's a

0:32:36.320 --> 0:32:39.440
<v Speaker 2>guy that's reckless with the football, and he's thrown interception

0:32:39.520 --> 0:32:42.080
<v Speaker 2>in eight straight games, eleven on the season and eleven

0:32:42.320 --> 0:32:44.560
<v Speaker 2>and I don't even thinks he hasn't played every game.

0:32:44.600 --> 0:32:48.200
<v Speaker 2>He's missed two games in this season. So that's something

0:32:48.200 --> 0:32:50.400
<v Speaker 2>that I'm concerned about. The Green Bay Packers. This is

0:32:50.440 --> 0:32:52.400
<v Speaker 2>a good win for them. They are seven and three,

0:32:52.760 --> 0:32:55.800
<v Speaker 2>keeping up with your Detroit Lions in the division race.

0:32:56.160 --> 0:32:59.200
<v Speaker 2>Minnesota Vikings are also up there at I think they're

0:32:59.240 --> 0:33:03.000
<v Speaker 2>eight and two now. So this NFC North is really

0:33:03.000 --> 0:33:05.000
<v Speaker 2>starting to heat up, and look at it look like

0:33:05.160 --> 0:33:08.000
<v Speaker 2>one of the best division divisions, if not the best

0:33:08.000 --> 0:33:13.680
<v Speaker 2>division in football. But if you're a Green Bay Packers fan,

0:33:13.760 --> 0:33:16.360
<v Speaker 2>you have to be concerned about these interceptions because that

0:33:16.520 --> 0:33:19.600
<v Speaker 2>is what ended your season last year at the hands

0:33:19.600 --> 0:33:21.880
<v Speaker 2>of the San Francisco forty nine ers. Two Jordan Love

0:33:21.960 --> 0:33:26.160
<v Speaker 2>interceptions and in the clutch is what ended your season.

0:33:26.440 --> 0:33:30.400
<v Speaker 2>So he has as many interceptions now as he did

0:33:30.440 --> 0:33:32.440
<v Speaker 2>through the entire season last year, and he has to

0:33:32.440 --> 0:33:35.880
<v Speaker 2>get that fixed. These aren't just like tipped interceptions at

0:33:35.880 --> 0:33:39.040
<v Speaker 2>the line of scrimmage, or are lucky plays by guys

0:33:39.240 --> 0:33:41.840
<v Speaker 2>or hey, it bounced off the receiver's hands and got

0:33:41.840 --> 0:33:45.120
<v Speaker 2>an interception. These are these are balls he's thrown to

0:33:45.160 --> 0:33:49.640
<v Speaker 2>defenders and he has to get that fixed. I like

0:33:49.720 --> 0:33:52.520
<v Speaker 2>how they leaned on Josh Jacobs throughout the game eighteen

0:33:52.600 --> 0:33:54.960
<v Speaker 2>carries for seventy six yards, even got involved in the

0:33:55.000 --> 0:33:58.600
<v Speaker 2>past game four carries took some short passes and made

0:33:58.640 --> 0:34:01.360
<v Speaker 2>them big gains. I think that's gonna be positive for him.

0:34:01.440 --> 0:34:03.880
<v Speaker 2>Christian Watson had his best game four catches for one

0:34:03.960 --> 0:34:07.480
<v Speaker 2>hundred and fifty yards. Rashawn Gary made some plays on defense.

0:34:07.760 --> 0:34:10.520
<v Speaker 2>Our guy Xavier mckinne did not was not able to

0:34:10.520 --> 0:34:13.160
<v Speaker 2>get Caleb Williams this time, even though he's gotten just

0:34:13.200 --> 0:34:16.160
<v Speaker 2>about everybody else. But I thought this is what was

0:34:16.640 --> 0:34:19.080
<v Speaker 2>a rare kind of win win for both teams. It's

0:34:19.120 --> 0:34:22.080
<v Speaker 2>good for I'm sure Chicago feels a lot better about

0:34:22.440 --> 0:34:25.120
<v Speaker 2>theirselves and about their team than they did coming into

0:34:25.200 --> 0:34:27.480
<v Speaker 2>this game. And I'm sure Green Bay is thankful to

0:34:27.520 --> 0:34:28.880
<v Speaker 2>be able to get out of this game where they

0:34:28.920 --> 0:34:31.680
<v Speaker 2>didn't play as well as they possibly can. With the win,

0:34:32.880 --> 0:34:35.439
<v Speaker 2>Green Bay has a tough game against San Francisco forty

0:34:35.480 --> 0:34:38.200
<v Speaker 2>nine ers, who are reeling right now after that lost

0:34:38.200 --> 0:34:41.960
<v Speaker 2>to Seattle. In Green Bay. The Bears have a tough

0:34:42.040 --> 0:34:44.879
<v Speaker 2>game against the Minnesota Vikings who are rolling eight and two,

0:34:44.920 --> 0:34:47.320
<v Speaker 2>and they're gonna put a lot of pressure on Caleb Williams,

0:34:47.320 --> 0:34:49.640
<v Speaker 2>so better keep getting up all that fast.

0:34:49.920 --> 0:34:52.240
<v Speaker 1>They finally scored a touchdown, I mean, then went twenty

0:34:52.320 --> 0:34:55.600
<v Speaker 1>six strives With that one, Richard, and they're on a

0:34:55.680 --> 0:34:58.080
<v Speaker 1>four game losing streak. I know, you could say you

0:34:58.080 --> 0:35:01.440
<v Speaker 1>can take away, you know, some feel goods after losing

0:35:01.480 --> 0:35:04.400
<v Speaker 1>this game close, but it's a four game losing streak.

0:35:04.440 --> 0:35:07.840
<v Speaker 1>And it all started with that Hail Mary against the

0:35:08.000 --> 0:35:12.200
<v Speaker 1>Washington Commanders when Tyreek Stevenson was celebrating over there doing

0:35:12.200 --> 0:35:15.759
<v Speaker 1>whatever he was doing with the crowd. I mean, how

0:35:15.880 --> 0:35:19.279
<v Speaker 1>long does a loss like that carry over? Because this

0:35:19.480 --> 0:35:22.520
<v Speaker 1>Bears team was four and two and now they're four

0:35:22.560 --> 0:35:25.040
<v Speaker 1>and six and we're talking about feel good losses.

0:35:26.040 --> 0:35:28.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean, but they weren't expected to be anything

0:35:28.960 --> 0:35:31.720
<v Speaker 2>like that, Mitchell. This year. They weren't. You're not drafting

0:35:31.719 --> 0:35:34.160
<v Speaker 2>the quarterback that high and you know, I mean their

0:35:34.239 --> 0:35:37.719
<v Speaker 2>draft pick was what nine or ten, But you're not

0:35:37.800 --> 0:35:41.160
<v Speaker 2>drafting top ten and making the playoffs. Many times, there

0:35:41.160 --> 0:35:43.160
<v Speaker 2>are teams that have done it. But they had a

0:35:43.200 --> 0:35:45.360
<v Speaker 2>really good defense, and they have a really good defense.

0:35:45.400 --> 0:35:48.800
<v Speaker 2>But there's still ways to go offensively, especially offensive line

0:35:49.200 --> 0:35:51.680
<v Speaker 2>and the quarterback. And you've got a young quarterback that

0:35:51.800 --> 0:35:54.080
<v Speaker 2>has to develop. I think they're starting to figure out

0:35:54.080 --> 0:35:57.719
<v Speaker 2>the rhythm that he needs to be in where they

0:35:57.760 --> 0:35:59.600
<v Speaker 2>have to run the ball with DeAndre swift. They have

0:35:59.640 --> 0:36:01.759
<v Speaker 2>to lean on a run game and then then let

0:36:01.800 --> 0:36:04.479
<v Speaker 2>Caleb Williams go. You can't just sit there and drop

0:36:04.520 --> 0:36:07.759
<v Speaker 2>back with Caleb Williams and have the run game as

0:36:07.760 --> 0:36:10.239
<v Speaker 2>a second as an afterthought. That can't be the way

0:36:10.280 --> 0:36:12.480
<v Speaker 2>you approach games. And I think at least they're figuring

0:36:12.560 --> 0:36:16.560
<v Speaker 2>that rhythm out. I think they're showing signs of life.

0:36:17.320 --> 0:36:19.879
<v Speaker 2>Maybe they can get hot and win some games that

0:36:20.000 --> 0:36:22.720
<v Speaker 2>they won't be favored in down the stretch and sneak

0:36:22.719 --> 0:36:24.719
<v Speaker 2>into the playoffs. But they really needed this one for

0:36:24.760 --> 0:36:27.959
<v Speaker 2>their confidence going forward. But yeah, I mean, I guess

0:36:27.960 --> 0:36:29.759
<v Speaker 2>it does linger, you know. I mean, there's nothing else

0:36:29.760 --> 0:36:32.239
<v Speaker 2>to say about that. They're own four since that game,

0:36:32.280 --> 0:36:34.719
<v Speaker 2>so clearly it's having some carryover effects.

0:36:35.000 --> 0:36:37.399
<v Speaker 1>You want to talk about a disaster season, let's go

0:36:37.440 --> 0:36:40.799
<v Speaker 1>to the New York Jets. Hey Aaron Rodgers and this

0:36:40.840 --> 0:36:43.360
<v Speaker 1>whole feel good story about him coming back from the

0:36:43.400 --> 0:36:47.359
<v Speaker 1>Achilles injury. I don't know where this season is going

0:36:47.400 --> 0:36:49.360
<v Speaker 1>to land for them, but it's not looking good. You

0:36:49.400 --> 0:36:52.400
<v Speaker 1>already lose a coach and Robert Slok. They've made so

0:36:52.520 --> 0:36:55.600
<v Speaker 1>many different moves and nothing seemed to work, and it

0:36:55.680 --> 0:36:59.640
<v Speaker 1>all culminates with another loss against the low lean in

0:36:59.719 --> 0:37:03.600
<v Speaker 1>app Colts, who just brought back Anthony richardson where do

0:37:03.640 --> 0:37:05.600
<v Speaker 1>we go from here? I mean, who do you cast

0:37:05.640 --> 0:37:10.040
<v Speaker 1>the blame on other than Woody Johnson in New York

0:37:10.200 --> 0:37:11.560
<v Speaker 1>New York Jets territory.

0:37:11.640 --> 0:37:13.719
<v Speaker 2>Richard, Yeah, I mean you got to put a lot

0:37:13.719 --> 0:37:15.640
<v Speaker 2>of the blame on Whatdy Johnson, because you've made an

0:37:15.680 --> 0:37:19.880
<v Speaker 2>unnecessary decision in the middle of the season. And there

0:37:20.040 --> 0:37:23.120
<v Speaker 2>it's been shown statistically, no matter what team you're looking at,

0:37:23.320 --> 0:37:25.480
<v Speaker 2>if you take if you fire the head coach min season,

0:37:25.480 --> 0:37:27.399
<v Speaker 2>the rest of that season is pretty much wrap. You're

0:37:27.640 --> 0:37:30.040
<v Speaker 2>you're not going to the playoffs, you're not having success,

0:37:30.080 --> 0:37:32.840
<v Speaker 2>You're not you're not doing anything worthy of mention in

0:37:32.880 --> 0:37:36.920
<v Speaker 2>that season. And I know he tried to cut the

0:37:36.960 --> 0:37:39.080
<v Speaker 2>front off his loose to to make all these moves

0:37:39.120 --> 0:37:41.200
<v Speaker 2>to make him look better and say, oh, get get

0:37:41.239 --> 0:37:43.960
<v Speaker 2>Redick in here, get get get Davonte, do all this

0:37:44.000 --> 0:37:45.920
<v Speaker 2>so that it doesn't look bad, so you guys can

0:37:45.960 --> 0:37:48.520
<v Speaker 2>win and it can look like I fired Robert Salay

0:37:48.560 --> 0:37:50.960
<v Speaker 2>and he was the problem, and I was the answer. Clearly,

0:37:51.040 --> 0:37:53.640
<v Speaker 2>Robert Salad wasn't the problem. Aaron isn't playing as well

0:37:53.680 --> 0:37:56.000
<v Speaker 2>as he has in the past. It's probably his worst

0:37:56.040 --> 0:37:59.480
<v Speaker 2>season of his football career, probably since the first season

0:37:59.520 --> 0:38:02.680
<v Speaker 2>he started. They're not playing well on defense. Ever since

0:38:02.719 --> 0:38:05.319
<v Speaker 2>Brick became the head coach, they've been one of the

0:38:05.360 --> 0:38:07.600
<v Speaker 2>worst defense. I think they've given up the second most

0:38:07.600 --> 0:38:11.160
<v Speaker 2>points since he's become the head coach. And that's just

0:38:11.480 --> 0:38:14.160
<v Speaker 2>you know, that's just one of the side effects of

0:38:14.239 --> 0:38:17.120
<v Speaker 2>moving your defensive coordinator to head coach and throwing all

0:38:17.160 --> 0:38:20.520
<v Speaker 2>this responsibility on his back, all these extra things to

0:38:20.600 --> 0:38:23.359
<v Speaker 2>think about during the game, during the week, all these

0:38:23.440 --> 0:38:27.280
<v Speaker 2>extra meetings that he has to be and you're changing

0:38:27.320 --> 0:38:30.920
<v Speaker 2>the whole dynamic of the staff five games into the season,

0:38:32.320 --> 0:38:34.960
<v Speaker 2>and that's a shock that they just haven't recovered from.

0:38:35.239 --> 0:38:38.320
<v Speaker 2>The players are kind of frustrated. You saw the comments

0:38:38.360 --> 0:38:42.200
<v Speaker 2>saw had about you know, bricks tackling presentation, and then

0:38:42.239 --> 0:38:43.960
<v Speaker 2>they went out and they missed a lot of tackles

0:38:43.960 --> 0:38:46.680
<v Speaker 2>in this game. So it's just a lot of things compiling,

0:38:46.719 --> 0:38:50.000
<v Speaker 2>a lot of frustration, I'm sure mounting in that locker room,

0:38:50.120 --> 0:38:54.400
<v Speaker 2>mounting with that coaching staff, and disappointment because you know,

0:38:54.440 --> 0:38:57.360
<v Speaker 2>they were they're really talented team and they've had a

0:38:57.400 --> 0:39:01.520
<v Speaker 2>talented defense for the entire time this staff has been

0:39:01.880 --> 0:39:04.880
<v Speaker 2>employed and they just haven't had the offense. And everybody

0:39:04.960 --> 0:39:07.319
<v Speaker 2>thought when Aaron came in he would he would fix

0:39:07.360 --> 0:39:10.320
<v Speaker 2>a lot of the problems, and Davante would help fix Aaron,

0:39:10.400 --> 0:39:13.280
<v Speaker 2>and he would help fix Garrett Wilson, and just hasn't

0:39:13.640 --> 0:39:16.560
<v Speaker 2>culminated the way they would have wanted it to. When

0:39:16.560 --> 0:39:17.719
<v Speaker 2>it's disappointing the.

0:39:17.680 --> 0:39:20.680
<v Speaker 1>Other side of the football, Anthony Richardson comes back from

0:39:20.760 --> 0:39:23.640
<v Speaker 1>his break. I mean, obviously they sidelined him and showed

0:39:23.719 --> 0:39:26.440
<v Speaker 1>him what Joe FLACKU could do for the last few weeks,

0:39:26.719 --> 0:39:28.560
<v Speaker 1>and he comes back and he looks like a lot

0:39:28.640 --> 0:39:31.200
<v Speaker 1>more competent quarterback out there, throwing for two hundred and

0:39:31.200 --> 0:39:34.160
<v Speaker 1>seventy two yards a touchdown, getting done on the ground too,

0:39:34.280 --> 0:39:36.920
<v Speaker 1>with two rushing touchdowns. How much do you think that

0:39:37.040 --> 0:39:39.759
<v Speaker 1>time off, that time to just examine and look and

0:39:39.840 --> 0:39:41.800
<v Speaker 1>study benefited Anthony Richardson.

0:39:42.400 --> 0:39:45.160
<v Speaker 2>I think it benefited that a tremendous amount. Just being

0:39:45.160 --> 0:39:48.560
<v Speaker 2>able to sit there and listen and watch and get

0:39:48.640 --> 0:39:52.200
<v Speaker 2>hungry and get frustrated and work your craft and be

0:39:52.280 --> 0:39:54.960
<v Speaker 2>able to push the reset button on everything and go

0:39:55.040 --> 0:39:56.840
<v Speaker 2>out there and just play free. You know, what's the

0:39:56.840 --> 0:39:58.960
<v Speaker 2>worst that can happen. They already said he's going to

0:39:59.000 --> 0:40:00.800
<v Speaker 2>be named the starter for the the rest of the season,

0:40:00.960 --> 0:40:02.640
<v Speaker 2>So now just go out there, let the ball fly,

0:40:03.000 --> 0:40:06.000
<v Speaker 2>be confident, trust your reads. And it looks like he's

0:40:06.040 --> 0:40:08.520
<v Speaker 2>a whole different quarterback. I mean, his completions, he's not

0:40:08.600 --> 0:40:11.440
<v Speaker 2>overthrown as much as he was at the beginning. He

0:40:11.520 --> 0:40:15.120
<v Speaker 2>was completing a lot more passes. Uh, He's not putting

0:40:15.120 --> 0:40:17.480
<v Speaker 2>his body in danger as much. Obviously he took a

0:40:17.560 --> 0:40:21.799
<v Speaker 2>hit when he ran that first touchdown in but he

0:40:21.880 --> 0:40:25.520
<v Speaker 2>looks a lot more in command, a lot more accurate.

0:40:25.600 --> 0:40:29.560
<v Speaker 2>His feet are under him. I think it benefited it.

0:40:29.760 --> 0:40:33.439
<v Speaker 1>You talked about it so much paralysis by over analysis.

0:40:33.520 --> 0:40:36.160
<v Speaker 1>I mean, these these younger quarterbacks, and you can speak

0:40:36.200 --> 0:40:38.480
<v Speaker 1>to this way better than I can, but it seems

0:40:38.480 --> 0:40:40.440
<v Speaker 1>like the more you think about a play, the less

0:40:40.520 --> 0:40:43.879
<v Speaker 1>you are instinctive. And to me, it looked like he

0:40:43.920 --> 0:40:47.440
<v Speaker 1>was just playing naturally, letting the letting the play come

0:40:47.440 --> 0:40:49.960
<v Speaker 1>to him, as opposed to trying to force something. And

0:40:50.080 --> 0:40:52.560
<v Speaker 1>if you see this down the stretch, I mean, this

0:40:52.640 --> 0:40:55.320
<v Speaker 1>Indianapolis Colts team is still in the thick of things

0:40:55.320 --> 0:40:57.440
<v Speaker 1>when it comes to the playoff race. If they can

0:40:57.440 --> 0:40:57.919
<v Speaker 1>get hot.

0:40:58.040 --> 0:40:58.520
<v Speaker 2>We'll see.

0:40:58.560 --> 0:41:02.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean they play my Detroit Lions next week. I

0:41:02.520 --> 0:41:05.360
<v Speaker 1>welcome Anthony Richardson, but we'll see. Let's go to the

0:41:05.400 --> 0:41:08.919
<v Speaker 1>Minnesota Vikings. I know they played the Tennessee Titans today,

0:41:08.960 --> 0:41:12.320
<v Speaker 1>but this team is now eight and two and Sam

0:41:12.400 --> 0:41:14.960
<v Speaker 1>Darnold gets back on track a bit, throwing for two

0:41:15.000 --> 0:41:18.719
<v Speaker 1>hundred and forty six yards two touchdowns. Richard, I know

0:41:18.760 --> 0:41:21.319
<v Speaker 1>we talked about the Minnesota Vikings and they're fall off

0:41:21.360 --> 0:41:23.279
<v Speaker 1>of the last couple of weeks. Like, how much do

0:41:23.320 --> 0:41:26.560
<v Speaker 1>you believe in this team? Because this NFC North Division,

0:41:26.640 --> 0:41:29.719
<v Speaker 1>I mean, they're dominating the league right now. The Minnesota

0:41:29.800 --> 0:41:31.680
<v Speaker 1>Vikings are eight and two, the Green Bay Packers are

0:41:31.719 --> 0:41:33.959
<v Speaker 1>seven and three, the Detroit Lions are nine to one.

0:41:34.760 --> 0:41:38.839
<v Speaker 1>We're potentially seeing three teams to the North going into

0:41:38.840 --> 0:41:42.200
<v Speaker 1>this playoffs. How much do you believe in the Minnesota Vikings,

0:41:42.280 --> 0:41:44.480
<v Speaker 1>albeit against the Tennessee Titans today.

0:41:45.400 --> 0:41:48.520
<v Speaker 2>I mean defense translates. And Andrew van de Ginko have

0:41:48.640 --> 0:41:50.800
<v Speaker 2>two sacks in the game, He's got eight on the season.

0:41:51.080 --> 0:41:53.640
<v Speaker 2>They're putting a lot of pressure on quarterbacks, They're getting

0:41:53.680 --> 0:41:57.479
<v Speaker 2>a lot of turnovers. I think that translates, and they're

0:41:57.520 --> 0:42:00.000
<v Speaker 2>gonna make it tough Offensively, they got a very competent

0:42:00.400 --> 0:42:04.439
<v Speaker 2>coordinator and Kevin O'Connell well head coach coordinator. He calls

0:42:04.520 --> 0:42:06.360
<v Speaker 2>a really great game and every time you talk to

0:42:06.400 --> 0:42:09.320
<v Speaker 2>a defender who's gone against him, they talk about his creativity,

0:42:10.600 --> 0:42:16.560
<v Speaker 2>the acumen. He has, the creativity within the game, you know,

0:42:16.680 --> 0:42:19.880
<v Speaker 2>making plays look like other plays, but then having pretty

0:42:19.960 --> 0:42:23.879
<v Speaker 2>much counters off of it. And so if they can

0:42:23.920 --> 0:42:25.960
<v Speaker 2>get to the playoffs and they get the right matchup,

0:42:26.000 --> 0:42:27.879
<v Speaker 2>I think they can do damage. And I think every

0:42:27.880 --> 0:42:30.880
<v Speaker 2>team in the NFC North has that story if they

0:42:30.920 --> 0:42:33.640
<v Speaker 2>can play well enough. This defense has a lot of

0:42:33.760 --> 0:42:36.759
<v Speaker 2>unknown guys making huge plays and just fitting in this

0:42:36.880 --> 0:42:41.000
<v Speaker 2>system like hand and glove. So yeah, I think this

0:42:41.080 --> 0:42:42.960
<v Speaker 2>is gonna be a dangerous team down the stretch. I'm

0:42:42.960 --> 0:42:46.080
<v Speaker 2>looking forward to seeing what they can do during the playoffs.

0:42:46.560 --> 0:42:50.160
<v Speaker 1>You witness the Eagles, I mean and the Commanders go

0:42:50.239 --> 0:42:52.840
<v Speaker 1>at it, and it looked at the Commanders had control

0:42:52.920 --> 0:42:55.040
<v Speaker 1>this game. They were playing the game the way they

0:42:55.080 --> 0:42:58.440
<v Speaker 1>wanted to, slowing it down, letting the defense control the game,

0:42:58.800 --> 0:43:01.239
<v Speaker 1>and then all of a sudden we saw Saquon takeover.

0:43:01.360 --> 0:43:04.760
<v Speaker 1>Late in that game. Philadelphia looks like the real deal.

0:43:05.000 --> 0:43:06.799
<v Speaker 1>I mean, if they can if they can put a

0:43:06.840 --> 0:43:10.680
<v Speaker 1>full sixty minutes together weaken and week out, they look

0:43:10.800 --> 0:43:13.359
<v Speaker 1>like a top contender in the NFC. What are your

0:43:13.360 --> 0:43:17.120
<v Speaker 1>thoughts after being in Philly and witnessing their dominance late

0:43:17.200 --> 0:43:19.520
<v Speaker 1>in that game against the Commanders.

0:43:19.480 --> 0:43:21.800
<v Speaker 2>Well, I just don't, you know, it just don'sn't like

0:43:21.840 --> 0:43:24.719
<v Speaker 2>the Commanders are quite there yet with the weapons offensively

0:43:24.840 --> 0:43:27.640
<v Speaker 2>and defensively, just don't have the firepower they need to

0:43:27.640 --> 0:43:29.919
<v Speaker 2>stop that offense. But I wasn't I didn't walk away

0:43:29.960 --> 0:43:33.680
<v Speaker 2>really impressed with the Philadelphia Eagles offense. I walked away

0:43:33.719 --> 0:43:38.640
<v Speaker 2>impressed with Takuon Barkley. But at times it just looked discombobulated, disconnected,

0:43:39.080 --> 0:43:41.319
<v Speaker 2>and you look at it through through the first half

0:43:41.360 --> 0:43:44.040
<v Speaker 2>and you're like, they have too many superstars, too much

0:43:44.080 --> 0:43:46.879
<v Speaker 2>firepower to only have six points in the game. I'm

0:43:46.920 --> 0:43:49.080
<v Speaker 2>not sure how this defense is getting stops. They don't

0:43:49.080 --> 0:43:53.080
<v Speaker 2>have a ton of great corners. You know, Marshawn Lattimore

0:43:53.160 --> 0:43:55.879
<v Speaker 2>wasn't playing in this game, and so you wonder why

0:43:55.920 --> 0:43:59.719
<v Speaker 2>AJ Brown wasn't dominating. Devontae Smith wasn't really dominating in

0:43:59.719 --> 0:44:02.480
<v Speaker 2>this game. And so that's the stuff that concerns me

0:44:02.520 --> 0:44:04.279
<v Speaker 2>because if you run against a team with some real

0:44:04.360 --> 0:44:08.000
<v Speaker 2>dogs in the secondary, some dogs on defense, and some

0:44:08.000 --> 0:44:10.680
<v Speaker 2>some offensive firepower, I think they, you know, people pull

0:44:10.719 --> 0:44:12.839
<v Speaker 2>away from them in a game like that. So I'm

0:44:12.840 --> 0:44:14.520
<v Speaker 2>not quite ready to put them up there with the

0:44:14.719 --> 0:44:16.960
<v Speaker 2>with the contenders. I'm not willing to put them up

0:44:17.000 --> 0:44:21.200
<v Speaker 2>there with your Detroit Lions or or even the Minnesota Vikings.

0:44:21.360 --> 0:44:23.960
<v Speaker 2>And you know, I think the Benefit Soda Vikings are

0:44:24.040 --> 0:44:26.480
<v Speaker 2>more complete team than a Philadelphia Eagles, so I'm not

0:44:26.760 --> 0:44:29.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm not quite sure where they fall in the hierarchy yet,

0:44:31.239 --> 0:44:33.960
<v Speaker 2>but I need to see them play somebody like that

0:44:34.160 --> 0:44:36.560
<v Speaker 2>and not start the way they did in this game.
