But first number four for the Dallas Cowboy 18 00:01:09,468 --> 00:01:12,628 Speaker 1: was in a shimmering, beautiful jacket taken away back. 19 00:01:14,268 --> 00:01:14,908 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's fun. 20 00:01:16,268 --> 00:01:18,028 Speaker 6: So what you play the game for as a quarterback, 21 00:01:18,028 --> 00:01:20,308 Speaker 6: to have the ball in your hands with an opportunity 22 00:01:20,308 --> 00:01:22,788 Speaker 6: to go win the game, take the lead, whatever it 23 00:01:22,828 --> 00:01:26,428 Speaker 6: may be. We practice those situations a lot too. So 24 00:01:26,468 --> 00:01:29,748 Speaker 6: I mean it's credit to Mike, the staff and and 25 00:01:29,868 --> 00:01:32,228 Speaker 6: just the rest of them, the rest of the guys 26 00:01:32,228 --> 00:01:33,908 Speaker 6: and the players are being prepared. 27 00:01:33,548 --> 00:01:37,188 Speaker 4: In lockedown's actually playing great ball. It's just it's it's 28 00:01:37,228 --> 00:01:39,508 Speaker 4: fun when you know, when you're in this rhythm. He 29 00:01:39,548 --> 00:01:42,788 Speaker 4: has such great command, and it's you know, it's it's 30 00:01:42,828 --> 00:01:45,748 Speaker 4: just a connection, you know, with his teammates. You know, 31 00:01:45,828 --> 00:01:47,988 Speaker 4: on the field, death the line of scrimmage, We're getting 32 00:01:47,988 --> 00:01:50,828 Speaker 4: in and out of things seamlessly. You know, we're playing 33 00:01:50,828 --> 00:01:53,268 Speaker 4: with a really good pace and you know, and that's 34 00:01:53,308 --> 00:01:54,948 Speaker 4: just how we want to play. We want to attack 35 00:01:55,548 --> 00:01:57,668 Speaker 4: and you can only do it, you know with the 36 00:01:57,868 --> 00:02:00,948 Speaker 4: with the championship, you know, caliber quarterback and and and 37 00:02:01,028 --> 00:02:03,428 Speaker 4: Dak is that guy. 38 00:02:04,388 --> 00:02:06,268 Speaker 3: The one word stood out for Mike McCarthy there as 39 00:02:06,308 --> 00:02:08,908 Speaker 3: it pertains to Dak Prescott command. He did seem like 40 00:02:08,988 --> 00:02:11,548 Speaker 3: he had a feel for the game and the Cowboys 41 00:02:11,588 --> 00:02:14,068 Speaker 3: needed it, specifically on offense. Last night, Dak balled out 42 00:02:14,268 --> 00:02:17,868 Speaker 3: Jason takeaways from that game that at times I was 43 00:02:17,908 --> 00:02:20,228 Speaker 3: nervous watching you, like, are the Cowboys gonna cowboy the 44 00:02:20,268 --> 00:02:22,268 Speaker 3: situation again? After we have built them. 45 00:02:22,188 --> 00:02:24,228 Speaker 5: Up all week I'm usually a guy that comes on 46 00:02:24,308 --> 00:02:26,748 Speaker 5: I want to talk about defense. God places that in 47 00:02:26,748 --> 00:02:29,708 Speaker 5: the third. Kyle, you said that there was zero punts 48 00:02:29,748 --> 00:02:32,188 Speaker 5: in the game. It was offense a plenty, starting with 49 00:02:32,268 --> 00:02:34,748 Speaker 5: DK with de long touchdown. But it all comes back 50 00:02:34,788 --> 00:02:37,748 Speaker 5: to Dak Prescott. This guy has been unbelievable. You look 51 00:02:37,788 --> 00:02:39,628 Speaker 5: at what he was able to do last night when 52 00:02:39,668 --> 00:02:42,868 Speaker 5: the Dallas Cowboys defense, who typically makes plays, Deron Blam 53 00:02:42,908 --> 00:02:45,108 Speaker 5: picked six as Michael Parsons getting out of the quarterback 54 00:02:45,628 --> 00:02:47,748 Speaker 5: Seattle was moving the ball up and down the field, 55 00:02:47,748 --> 00:02:51,388 Speaker 5: and every single time Dak responded after the game, he said, 56 00:02:51,428 --> 00:02:54,468 Speaker 5: no opinion defines me. People can say whatever they want. 57 00:02:54,668 --> 00:02:57,868 Speaker 5: I have the pen, I have the paper. I'm the 58 00:02:57,908 --> 00:03:01,628 Speaker 5: one rioting Dak. That is a bar right there, dropped 59 00:03:01,628 --> 00:03:03,828 Speaker 5: in an album, make a song. I am here for. 60 00:03:04,228 --> 00:03:06,748 Speaker 5: He showed up when he needed to. Last six games, 61 00:03:06,988 --> 00:03:10,508 Speaker 5: twenty touchdowns, only two interceptions. We can talk about who 62 00:03:10,548 --> 00:03:12,708 Speaker 5: he's playing all this down and the third Dak is 63 00:03:12,708 --> 00:03:15,348 Speaker 5: getting out there and he is finding his guy, Ceedee 64 00:03:15,428 --> 00:03:18,588 Speaker 5: Lamb and they are making plays. The combination of those 65 00:03:18,628 --> 00:03:20,948 Speaker 5: two last night, from the beginning of the game, him 66 00:03:20,988 --> 00:03:23,628 Speaker 5: being able to him, Dak getting outside the pocket running. 67 00:03:23,748 --> 00:03:26,188 Speaker 5: We saw him right there towards the end against Rik Wollen. 68 00:03:26,388 --> 00:03:28,068 Speaker 5: He makes it tackle, he gets up in his face. 69 00:03:28,068 --> 00:03:30,108 Speaker 5: He's talking trash. Take you all the way back to 70 00:03:30,188 --> 00:03:33,468 Speaker 5: training camp when Trevon Diggs was talking trash to Dak Prescott. 71 00:03:33,508 --> 00:03:35,508 Speaker 5: We're all making a big thing out of it. We 72 00:03:35,668 --> 00:03:38,548 Speaker 5: love this side of Dak that we're seeing. He's confident, 73 00:03:38,708 --> 00:03:40,468 Speaker 5: he's going out there, is about to be a new father. 74 00:03:40,548 --> 00:03:43,348 Speaker 5: We saw some dad strength out there on the football field, 75 00:03:43,388 --> 00:03:45,828 Speaker 5: and he is absolutely playing his best. He is leading 76 00:03:45,828 --> 00:03:48,148 Speaker 5: this Cowboys team. We talked about him as a possible 77 00:03:48,268 --> 00:03:51,388 Speaker 5: MVP yesterday. He went out there in primetime and continued 78 00:03:51,388 --> 00:03:53,948 Speaker 5: to show it perform. He has to have his name. 79 00:03:54,228 --> 00:03:55,748 Speaker 5: He's just moving up the ranks right now for that 80 00:03:55,788 --> 00:03:56,508 Speaker 5: possible MVP. 81 00:03:56,708 --> 00:03:57,828 Speaker 7: Gino went for throw on. 82 00:03:58,668 --> 00:04:00,748 Speaker 8: Gino lit up that Cowboy both defense. 83 00:04:00,828 --> 00:04:01,748 Speaker 5: Gino is out. 84 00:04:01,588 --> 00:04:04,748 Speaker 9: There throwing at Metcalf had a career day. Felt like 85 00:04:04,828 --> 00:04:08,468 Speaker 9: Smith and Jigma made three or four amazing catches and 86 00:04:08,508 --> 00:04:10,788 Speaker 9: the defense for the Cowboys. We've been, you know, calling 87 00:04:10,828 --> 00:04:13,068 Speaker 9: the seventy six Steelers in the two thousand Ravens. The 88 00:04:13,108 --> 00:04:15,108 Speaker 9: last few weeks they were getting lit up. And then 89 00:04:15,588 --> 00:04:19,708 Speaker 9: in the fourth quarter, Seahawks are up five. They decided 90 00:04:19,708 --> 00:04:22,028 Speaker 9: to go for it on fourth down, and just as 91 00:04:22,068 --> 00:04:25,108 Speaker 9: you think the defense can't do anything, they make a play. 92 00:04:25,228 --> 00:04:27,508 Speaker 9: And the seven minutes left to go in the game, 93 00:04:27,868 --> 00:04:30,868 Speaker 9: they don't make this play. Seahawks come down and they score. 94 00:04:30,908 --> 00:04:33,508 Speaker 9: We're talking too score game instead they make a play. 95 00:04:33,508 --> 00:04:35,908 Speaker 9: Then end of the game, third and two, after Gino 96 00:04:35,948 --> 00:04:38,068 Speaker 9: converted a couple first downs and was marching the ball 97 00:04:38,068 --> 00:04:41,308 Speaker 9: down field again, a touchdown loses this for the Cowboys. 98 00:04:41,628 --> 00:04:45,268 Speaker 9: Gino incomplete big play there, great pass defense, and then 99 00:04:45,308 --> 00:04:47,228 Speaker 9: the one you were talking about Kyle in the highlight 100 00:04:47,268 --> 00:04:51,868 Speaker 9: Here Michael Parsons goes untouched and he pursues Geno Smith. 101 00:04:52,028 --> 00:04:55,628 Speaker 9: So my takeaway is, you see that score thirty five points. 102 00:04:55,628 --> 00:04:58,668 Speaker 9: You see DK Metcalf already won four thousand fantasy leagues, 103 00:04:58,668 --> 00:05:01,068 Speaker 9: and one night last night for a teams when the 104 00:05:01,148 --> 00:05:05,308 Speaker 9: defense needed to step up, Bland got it interception after 105 00:05:05,308 --> 00:05:08,108 Speaker 9: getting roasted all night, they stop the play on the 106 00:05:08,148 --> 00:05:10,268 Speaker 9: fourth and one. And then in the last two plays 107 00:05:10,268 --> 00:05:12,868 Speaker 9: of regulation, when Gino Smith was going up and down 108 00:05:12,868 --> 00:05:15,108 Speaker 9: the field the entire game, the defense did show up. 109 00:05:15,308 --> 00:05:17,668 Speaker 9: I come out of that game feeling all right. Those 110 00:05:17,708 --> 00:05:20,948 Speaker 9: first three quarters. Forgettaball, let's fourth quarter when they were needed. 111 00:05:20,988 --> 00:05:22,908 Speaker 9: Usually the Cowboys are not the team that steps up 112 00:05:22,908 --> 00:05:25,028 Speaker 9: in the clutch. They were, and maybe that's what's different 113 00:05:25,068 --> 00:05:26,108 Speaker 9: this year from the years past. 114 00:05:26,308 --> 00:05:28,708 Speaker 2: Blaan got roasted like on a spit. It was tough, 115 00:05:28,988 --> 00:05:30,348 Speaker 2: bad night, tough night for him. 116 00:05:30,348 --> 00:05:33,148 Speaker 1: We'll talk about Bland, but you guys know, all I 117 00:05:33,188 --> 00:05:35,428 Speaker 1: ever say about the Cowboys is why is this team different? 118 00:05:35,428 --> 00:05:37,268 Speaker 1: Why is this team different than every other Cowboys team 119 00:05:37,308 --> 00:05:39,668 Speaker 1: I've seen? Dak feels different right now. I have to 120 00:05:39,668 --> 00:05:41,708 Speaker 1: give it to him. There's just something intangible when you're 121 00:05:41,708 --> 00:05:43,468 Speaker 1: watching the games and you've seen Dak play a lot 122 00:05:43,468 --> 00:05:45,708 Speaker 1: of football. When he drops back to pass, you believe 123 00:05:45,748 --> 00:05:47,708 Speaker 1: he's gonna make it happen. You don't think there's gonna 124 00:05:47,708 --> 00:05:50,028 Speaker 1: be some dumb play. It's not gonna be intercepted. He's 125 00:05:50,028 --> 00:05:53,068 Speaker 1: not gonna fall all over himself. He looks amazing. And 126 00:05:53,148 --> 00:05:55,508 Speaker 1: I'm watching Mike McCarthy talk about him afterwards, but how 127 00:05:55,548 --> 00:05:58,788 Speaker 1: good Dak is And I'm like, Mike has seen this before, 128 00:05:59,268 --> 00:06:02,788 Speaker 1: Like he looks like MVP Rodgers right now. He really does. 129 00:06:03,028 --> 00:06:06,348 Speaker 1: Jason said some numbers. Dak hit rock bottom against San Francisco. 130 00:06:06,388 --> 00:06:09,068 Speaker 1: That was over seven weeks ago. Since then, he has 131 00:06:09,108 --> 00:06:11,668 Speaker 1: been not Aaron Rodgers. I'm talking about one of those crazy, 132 00:06:11,748 --> 00:06:14,148 Speaker 1: like four interception Aaron Rodgers seasons. We're like, how is 133 00:06:14,148 --> 00:06:14,588 Speaker 1: he doing this? 134 00:06:15,028 --> 00:06:15,228 Speaker 5: You know? 135 00:06:15,268 --> 00:06:17,028 Speaker 1: This week Rodgers is talking to Pat and saying, I 136 00:06:17,028 --> 00:06:20,428 Speaker 1: love watching Dak. It's because you're watching yourself. Like maybe 137 00:06:20,468 --> 00:06:21,828 Speaker 1: it's a zego, I don't know, or maybe he just 138 00:06:21,868 --> 00:06:24,788 Speaker 1: appreciates it. I'm watching Dak right now and I see 139 00:06:24,868 --> 00:06:27,148 Speaker 1: Rogers from three four years ago, or maybe the first 140 00:06:27,188 --> 00:06:29,788 Speaker 1: run of MVPC has I watched him drop back, and 141 00:06:29,828 --> 00:06:31,708 Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, Dak's got this. I'm not worried about 142 00:06:31,748 --> 00:06:33,508 Speaker 1: a thing. What if we said that about the Coples, 143 00:06:33,508 --> 00:06:35,908 Speaker 1: We're not worried about a thing. There's always that tension underneath. 144 00:06:36,108 --> 00:06:39,068 Speaker 1: I've also said for years that Dak is just Kirk Cousins. 145 00:06:39,068 --> 00:06:40,388 Speaker 1: They're the same exact player. 146 00:06:40,468 --> 00:06:40,868 Speaker 2: No, they're not. 147 00:06:40,948 --> 00:06:42,388 Speaker 1: I don't think Kirk has ever been this good, and 148 00:06:42,468 --> 00:06:44,868 Speaker 1: Kirk's been really good, especially to start this season. 149 00:06:45,268 --> 00:06:46,148 Speaker 2: Dak's fantastic. 150 00:06:46,308 --> 00:06:48,588 Speaker 1: The defense, I don't know like that was I know 151 00:06:48,628 --> 00:06:50,988 Speaker 1: they made some big plays. I see thirty five against 152 00:06:50,988 --> 00:06:53,548 Speaker 1: the Seahawks team that's been scoring in the teams lately. 153 00:06:53,668 --> 00:06:55,228 Speaker 2: That's that's a problem. 154 00:06:55,348 --> 00:06:57,268 Speaker 1: And you start to think, like, god a Seattle is 155 00:06:57,268 --> 00:06:59,148 Speaker 1: over thirty five, what the hell is San Francisco gonna do? 156 00:06:59,228 --> 00:07:00,148 Speaker 2: Or Philly don't. 157 00:07:00,308 --> 00:07:02,108 Speaker 1: That's not Dak's problem. Dak is like, I don't care 158 00:07:02,228 --> 00:07:04,268 Speaker 1: score seventy I'll score seventy one. He is feeling it 159 00:07:04,468 --> 00:07:06,868 Speaker 1: right now. And when he's screaming and flexing and he's 160 00:07:06,948 --> 00:07:08,908 Speaker 1: like given quotes about I got the paper, that's a 161 00:07:08,988 --> 00:07:12,428 Speaker 1: very poetic thing to say, like I'm impressed. I'm really impressed. 162 00:07:12,628 --> 00:07:15,388 Speaker 1: What's different about this Cowboys team? This is the best 163 00:07:15,428 --> 00:07:18,588 Speaker 1: quarterback to play that they've had in years, maybe decades, 164 00:07:18,788 --> 00:07:21,868 Speaker 1: honestly that long. They've never had an NFL and VPS quarterback, 165 00:07:21,908 --> 00:07:24,668 Speaker 1: never at last MVPs emmet. Dak right now is playing 166 00:07:24,708 --> 00:07:27,308 Speaker 1: better than Romo ever did, than Akman ever did. Just 167 00:07:27,308 --> 00:07:30,348 Speaker 1: look it up. He's unbelievable. Will he collapse? I don't 168 00:07:30,348 --> 00:07:32,468 Speaker 1: know right now? Though he's different. It's awesome. 169 00:07:32,548 --> 00:07:33,068 Speaker 5: Oftentimes. 170 00:07:33,068 --> 00:07:35,308 Speaker 3: The question we ask about Dak, and to your Kirk 171 00:07:35,348 --> 00:07:37,228 Speaker 3: Cousins point, is like who would you want on a 172 00:07:37,228 --> 00:07:39,268 Speaker 3: game winning drive when you're down and you're at a 173 00:07:39,268 --> 00:07:41,348 Speaker 3: two minute drill and right now, you'd pick Dak ten 174 00:07:41,388 --> 00:07:43,748 Speaker 3: out of ten times by how he's going. It was 175 00:07:43,788 --> 00:07:45,988 Speaker 3: sloppy at times last last night. If we're watching it, 176 00:07:46,028 --> 00:07:47,548 Speaker 3: you love your football, but you don't love it with 177 00:07:47,588 --> 00:07:49,908 Speaker 3: the side of laundry on the field. There were eleven 178 00:07:49,948 --> 00:07:53,068 Speaker 3: penalties called against the Cowboys in the first half alone. 179 00:07:53,508 --> 00:07:56,148 Speaker 3: Eight of them went against the defense. So the Seahawks 180 00:07:56,148 --> 00:07:59,188 Speaker 3: started out fast, sure, offensively, but the refs were also 181 00:07:59,268 --> 00:08:02,028 Speaker 3: pushing the ball down the field for the Seahawks. To 182 00:08:02,388 --> 00:08:05,148 Speaker 3: Kyle's point, the Cowboys defense, they were given points left 183 00:08:05,148 --> 00:08:06,948 Speaker 3: and right, and it is a little tenuous when you 184 00:08:07,028 --> 00:08:09,348 Speaker 3: consider the fact that they've played the forty nine ers, 185 00:08:09,428 --> 00:08:11,548 Speaker 3: they've played the Eagles, and now they give up this 186 00:08:11,748 --> 00:08:14,748 Speaker 3: many points to a Seahawks team that points loud on 187 00:08:14,788 --> 00:08:16,748 Speaker 3: the right, and that's not great. Two of those games 188 00:08:16,748 --> 00:08:18,348 Speaker 3: are on the road. Now you have to consider you're 189 00:08:18,348 --> 00:08:20,948 Speaker 3: gonna have the Eagles at home next week, and you 190 00:08:21,068 --> 00:08:23,228 Speaker 3: hope that that shifts a little bit back your way. 191 00:08:23,508 --> 00:08:27,468 Speaker 3: But guys, any cause for concern, whether it be defensive 192 00:08:27,668 --> 00:08:30,068 Speaker 3: or mental errors when it comes to the penalties for 193 00:08:30,188 --> 00:08:30,988 Speaker 3: the Cowboys, you. 194 00:08:31,028 --> 00:08:33,708 Speaker 5: Talked about penalties. Both these teams going into the game 195 00:08:33,708 --> 00:08:36,068 Speaker 5: were the two most penalized teams in the NFL, and 196 00:08:36,148 --> 00:08:38,588 Speaker 5: it held true. You're talking about Seattle moving down the 197 00:08:38,588 --> 00:08:40,708 Speaker 5: field is the same when Dallas had the ball, it 198 00:08:40,748 --> 00:08:44,068 Speaker 5: was just defensive the backfield. DB's getting penalty after penalty 199 00:08:44,068 --> 00:08:47,468 Speaker 5: I legal contact, holding, passing affarence. The concern for the 200 00:08:47,468 --> 00:08:49,628 Speaker 5: Cowboys right now is you watched their defense last night, 201 00:08:49,668 --> 00:08:52,908 Speaker 5: and obviously to Deron Bland last week and throughout the 202 00:08:52,948 --> 00:08:55,548 Speaker 5: beginning of listening. But all we've talked about was Defensive 203 00:08:55,548 --> 00:08:56,748 Speaker 5: Player of the Year, and I was one of the 204 00:08:56,788 --> 00:08:59,828 Speaker 5: main ones. Pick six after pick six and something I said, 205 00:08:59,868 --> 00:09:02,268 Speaker 5: the toughest thing you're talking about winning Defensive Player to 206 00:09:02,268 --> 00:09:05,028 Speaker 5: the Year As a dB, the hardest thing you have 207 00:09:05,148 --> 00:09:08,428 Speaker 5: to perform every single week. We talk about Michael Parson 208 00:09:08,468 --> 00:09:10,748 Speaker 5: as a possible Defensive Player of the Year as well. 209 00:09:11,028 --> 00:09:12,628 Speaker 5: If a guy on the front end, if you're in 210 00:09:12,668 --> 00:09:14,588 Speaker 5: the wrong gap where you don't have a good rush, 211 00:09:14,988 --> 00:09:17,388 Speaker 5: no one knows as soon as the dB, as soon 212 00:09:17,428 --> 00:09:19,628 Speaker 5: as you give up a play. Everybody at home, my 213 00:09:19,668 --> 00:09:21,668 Speaker 5: seven year old son can watch the game and if 214 00:09:21,668 --> 00:09:23,668 Speaker 5: he sees me get dunked on and somebody catching the 215 00:09:23,708 --> 00:09:26,188 Speaker 5: pass on my head, dang daddy, that's your fault. And 216 00:09:26,188 --> 00:09:28,268 Speaker 5: that was the type of night for Darron Blair. That 217 00:09:28,388 --> 00:09:31,068 Speaker 5: first half was rough a penalty in the end zone 218 00:09:31,108 --> 00:09:33,348 Speaker 5: for Smith and Jig but gives him another touchdown and 219 00:09:33,348 --> 00:09:35,228 Speaker 5: then they throw it right back at him. He made 220 00:09:35,268 --> 00:09:37,868 Speaker 5: the adjustment, so did the Cowboys. In the second half, 221 00:09:38,028 --> 00:09:41,308 Speaker 5: they moved Stefan Gilmour over the matchup DK Metcalf. He 222 00:09:41,428 --> 00:09:44,508 Speaker 5: followed him around the field and Deron Blant went opposite. 223 00:09:44,548 --> 00:09:46,988 Speaker 5: He made an interception, He made a play. If you've 224 00:09:47,028 --> 00:09:48,868 Speaker 5: never been out there on that island against a really 225 00:09:48,868 --> 00:09:51,748 Speaker 5: good receiver, you don't know mentally what that's like. There's 226 00:09:51,788 --> 00:09:53,788 Speaker 5: a challenge physically to go out there and defend a 227 00:09:53,868 --> 00:09:56,388 Speaker 5: DK Metcalf, and then they have to come back mentally 228 00:09:56,428 --> 00:09:58,828 Speaker 5: after you've given up a seventy yard pass, you've given 229 00:09:58,908 --> 00:10:01,148 Speaker 5: up a slant for a touchdown. He did that in 230 00:10:01,148 --> 00:10:03,668 Speaker 5: the second half. He came back. He performed decent, but 231 00:10:03,708 --> 00:10:05,508 Speaker 5: they had to move him on the best receiver. That 232 00:10:05,668 --> 00:10:07,668 Speaker 5: is something that you're gonna have to watch going forward, 233 00:10:07,708 --> 00:10:09,788 Speaker 5: because we talked about them throwing the ball at Gilmour 234 00:10:09,988 --> 00:10:11,348 Speaker 5: because of how well Bland was playing. 235 00:10:11,828 --> 00:10:14,668 Speaker 1: This is important because the GMFB the baist diod for Bland. 236 00:10:14,708 --> 00:10:16,348 Speaker 2: Over the past couple of months, we talked a lot 237 00:10:16,388 --> 00:10:16,868 Speaker 2: of blanks. 238 00:10:17,188 --> 00:10:19,508 Speaker 1: I've never heard of a defensive Player of the Year 239 00:10:19,708 --> 00:10:23,068 Speaker 1: being pulled off a receiver like I don't remember Dion Garden, 240 00:10:23,148 --> 00:10:25,468 Speaker 1: Chris Carter ninety four. And they're like, sorry, Dan, Eric Davis, 241 00:10:25,508 --> 00:10:27,428 Speaker 1: get in there and guard. That doesn't happen. Peter, you 242 00:10:27,468 --> 00:10:29,268 Speaker 1: have a good pulse for this was last night. 243 00:10:29,188 --> 00:10:31,028 Speaker 2: A good night for t J. Watt, Like in terms 244 00:10:31,068 --> 00:10:32,228 Speaker 2: of the defense player of the year. 245 00:10:32,108 --> 00:10:33,148 Speaker 8: You're gonna have for everyone else. 246 00:10:33,228 --> 00:10:35,468 Speaker 9: Yes, and Bland did have the interception, but like he 247 00:10:35,548 --> 00:10:38,468 Speaker 9: also realized after breaking the record and jumping in the 248 00:10:38,508 --> 00:10:40,548 Speaker 9: kettle and all of us talking about now you gotta 249 00:10:40,588 --> 00:10:43,668 Speaker 9: target on your back also and DK Metcalf, but they're 250 00:10:43,708 --> 00:10:45,668 Speaker 9: watching it and they're like, Okay, let's go, let's go 251 00:10:45,708 --> 00:10:49,228 Speaker 9: destroy this guy. I actually feel a little bit more 252 00:10:49,228 --> 00:10:51,468 Speaker 9: confident with the Cowboys after last night. And they've been 253 00:10:51,468 --> 00:10:53,388 Speaker 9: blowing out teams, blowing out teams, but the fact they 254 00:10:54,108 --> 00:10:56,028 Speaker 9: we called it Bally Wagner called it a couple of 255 00:10:56,028 --> 00:10:57,828 Speaker 9: weeks ago, what the grimy games, Like we had to 256 00:10:57,828 --> 00:11:00,948 Speaker 9: win some of those grimy games, or is a Fred Warner. 257 00:11:01,428 --> 00:11:02,668 Speaker 9: That was a grimmy game for them. I know the 258 00:11:02,668 --> 00:11:04,628 Speaker 9: scores were huge, but like they were losing in the game. 259 00:11:04,628 --> 00:11:06,468 Speaker 9: They were down five in the fourth quarter at home, 260 00:11:06,508 --> 00:11:09,708 Speaker 9: and they had watched DK metcf do just whatever he 261 00:11:09,748 --> 00:11:11,348 Speaker 9: wanted on them, and they found a way to come. 262 00:11:11,228 --> 00:11:11,788 Speaker 5: Back and then one. 263 00:11:11,868 --> 00:11:13,548 Speaker 9: So I kind of like seeing them have to win 264 00:11:13,668 --> 00:11:17,388 Speaker 9: that style of game also, not just runaway first minute 265 00:11:17,388 --> 00:11:17,588 Speaker 9: of the game. 266 00:11:17,588 --> 00:11:19,268 Speaker 8: At the end of the minute, even by thirty two points. 267 00:11:19,348 --> 00:11:20,748 Speaker 7: Yeah, Dak was so good though. 268 00:11:21,108 --> 00:11:23,788 Speaker 3: Defense, defense, defense, and you're just like, that's a cool 269 00:11:23,788 --> 00:11:24,308 Speaker 3: way to watch. 270 00:11:24,348 --> 00:11:26,388 Speaker 1: Yes I was saying yesterday, I'm like, the Seahawks going 271 00:11:26,428 --> 00:11:28,508 Speaker 1: to win this game? Is this this Cowboys lant And 272 00:11:28,548 --> 00:11:31,068 Speaker 1: it was there for like three hours did definitely and 273 00:11:31,108 --> 00:11:32,188 Speaker 1: then they finished. 274 00:11:32,228 --> 00:11:34,188 Speaker 3: So it did give us some clarity in the NFC 275 00:11:34,268 --> 00:11:37,308 Speaker 3: playoff picture because the Seahawks they've had a rough couple 276 00:11:37,308 --> 00:11:41,308 Speaker 3: of weeks, so you now see them still holding the 277 00:11:41,388 --> 00:11:44,068 Speaker 3: seventh seed in the wild card the Cowboys. To Kyle's 278 00:11:44,068 --> 00:11:46,908 Speaker 3: point yesterday, you want to retain if you can't win 279 00:11:46,948 --> 00:11:49,588 Speaker 3: it the NFC East, you want to retain that five 280 00:11:49,668 --> 00:11:51,708 Speaker 3: seed because then you're playing the Falcons in the first 281 00:11:51,708 --> 00:11:53,588 Speaker 3: week and that would be probably good for the Cowboys 282 00:11:53,588 --> 00:11:54,828 Speaker 3: to go on the road to Atlanta. 283 00:11:54,948 --> 00:11:55,468 Speaker 5: The Eagles. 284 00:11:55,548 --> 00:11:57,628 Speaker 3: Right now they hold the top spot in that division 285 00:11:57,948 --> 00:12:02,228 Speaker 3: in the NFC, and the Cowboys host them next week. 286 00:12:02,308 --> 00:12:06,708 Speaker 3: But first the Eagles must play a formidable forty hunders team, 287 00:12:06,868 --> 00:12:09,188 Speaker 3: the team that's just below them. As Ian Rappaport joining 288 00:12:09,268 --> 00:12:12,228 Speaker 3: us now our NFL Network insider Ian injuries to watch for, 289 00:12:12,308 --> 00:12:14,108 Speaker 3: maybe even in that game heading into the weekend. 290 00:12:15,428 --> 00:12:18,268 Speaker 10: Well, we'll start with aj Brown, the star receiver for 291 00:12:18,348 --> 00:12:20,548 Speaker 10: the Eagles, has been limited, not just this week, but 292 00:12:20,548 --> 00:12:23,188 Speaker 10: actually the last couple of weeks, dealing with a thigh injury. 293 00:12:23,468 --> 00:12:28,388 Speaker 10: A limited participant yesterday, limited participant on Wednesday, his participation today, 294 00:12:28,428 --> 00:12:30,868 Speaker 10: how much he practices, is he full go or not, 295 00:12:31,228 --> 00:12:33,148 Speaker 10: will go a long way in telling us whether or 296 00:12:33,148 --> 00:12:35,508 Speaker 10: not he is going to play on Sunday. Last week 297 00:12:35,628 --> 00:12:38,268 Speaker 10: did the same thing, limited and then was full on Friday. 298 00:12:38,388 --> 00:12:40,308 Speaker 10: Wouldn't be surprised to see the same thing here for 299 00:12:40,388 --> 00:12:43,708 Speaker 10: the Eagles, who were unlikely to have Fletcher Cox for 300 00:12:43,788 --> 00:12:47,228 Speaker 10: this game. Meanwhile, for the Miami Dolphins, coming off a 301 00:12:47,268 --> 00:12:50,028 Speaker 10: big and kind of insane win against the New York 302 00:12:50,108 --> 00:12:53,948 Speaker 10: Jets on Friday, they did have a somewhat injury, interesting 303 00:12:53,988 --> 00:12:58,988 Speaker 10: injury worth watching Tyreek Hill. Their speedy receiver DK Metcalf 304 00:12:59,028 --> 00:13:01,148 Speaker 10: go faster than him yesterday. You know, he's not thrilled 305 00:13:01,188 --> 00:13:04,668 Speaker 10: about that. His participation is obviously somewhat up in the year. 306 00:13:05,028 --> 00:13:08,668 Speaker 10: Did not practice Wednesday, was limited on Thursday dealing with 307 00:13:08,708 --> 00:13:11,108 Speaker 10: an ankle injury. Did have over one hundred yards on Friday, 308 00:13:11,188 --> 00:13:11,788 Speaker 10: so it really. 309 00:13:11,588 --> 00:13:13,148 Speaker 8: Didn't seem to be too affected. 310 00:13:13,388 --> 00:13:15,428 Speaker 10: I would not be surprised at all if he came 311 00:13:15,468 --> 00:13:19,428 Speaker 10: back practice, increased his participation today and be ready to 312 00:13:19,468 --> 00:13:22,228 Speaker 10: go against the Washington Commanders. And then here's one that 313 00:13:22,268 --> 00:13:26,868 Speaker 10: popped up yesterday thanks to JJ Watt, I guess zach Ertz, 314 00:13:27,068 --> 00:13:30,828 Speaker 10: the Pro Bowl tight end for the Arizona Cardinals was waved. 315 00:13:30,868 --> 00:13:32,268 Speaker 8: This was by mutual decision. 316 00:13:32,308 --> 00:13:35,588 Speaker 10: He actually requested, the Cardinals said okay, that's fine. He 317 00:13:35,668 --> 00:13:38,308 Speaker 10: gave up a game check to facilitate it. He is 318 00:13:38,388 --> 00:13:41,228 Speaker 10: now on waivers. He got almost three million dollars this year. 319 00:13:41,388 --> 00:13:43,628 Speaker 10: He had eleven million dollars next year. That's a lot 320 00:13:43,708 --> 00:13:45,468 Speaker 10: to claim on waivers this time of year. But we 321 00:13:45,508 --> 00:13:48,508 Speaker 10: will see a couple of the teams to watch potentially 322 00:13:48,508 --> 00:13:52,868 Speaker 10: whether claim or sign the Philadelphia Eagles potential reunion. Certainly 323 00:13:52,908 --> 00:13:56,828 Speaker 10: won to watch their Baltimore Ravens who lost Mark Andrews. 324 00:13:56,948 --> 00:13:58,988 Speaker 10: What about the Bills They have dealt with some tight 325 00:13:59,068 --> 00:14:02,068 Speaker 10: end injuries. Forty nine ers have always liked zach Ertz. 326 00:14:02,268 --> 00:14:04,388 Speaker 10: Definitely a storyline to play out later today. 327 00:14:08,508 --> 00:14:11,068 Speaker 3: This is a massive game in the NFC as the 328 00:14:11,148 --> 00:14:12,588 Speaker 3: two seed of forty nine ers. 329 00:14:12,428 --> 00:14:13,788 Speaker 2: Are headed to Philadelphia. 330 00:14:13,828 --> 00:14:15,508 Speaker 5: It's almost like Cowboy's. 331 00:14:15,108 --> 00:14:17,268 Speaker 3: Like, fine, all eyes on that, All eyes on that, 332 00:14:17,308 --> 00:14:20,068 Speaker 3: because we've heard a ton of trash talk leading up 333 00:14:20,068 --> 00:14:22,268 Speaker 3: to this game and now it's almost here. So what 334 00:14:22,308 --> 00:14:24,628 Speaker 3: do we feel like is going to be come Monday morning? 335 00:14:24,668 --> 00:14:26,228 Speaker 3: I'm getting all my days of the week right now. 336 00:14:26,308 --> 00:14:28,348 Speaker 3: What will be the biggest storyline? Do we think from 337 00:14:28,468 --> 00:14:31,548 Speaker 3: Niners Eagles as we sit here at the breakfast table, Peter, Yeah, 338 00:14:31,548 --> 00:14:31,748 Speaker 3: I just. 339 00:14:31,748 --> 00:14:34,068 Speaker 9: Think it's going to be a nasty game and that 340 00:14:34,148 --> 00:14:35,628 Speaker 9: we're going to see all these stars playing. But I 341 00:14:35,628 --> 00:14:37,348 Speaker 9: think it's going to be decided in the trenches. And 342 00:14:37,708 --> 00:14:39,948 Speaker 9: I'll rely on Baldinger and Michael Robinson and the other 343 00:14:39,988 --> 00:14:41,388 Speaker 9: guys who are going to break down the film on 344 00:14:41,388 --> 00:14:41,828 Speaker 9: this network. 345 00:14:41,868 --> 00:14:44,588 Speaker 8: But I will say this, you're dealing with so. 346 00:14:44,628 --> 00:14:47,228 Speaker 9: Much strategy on how to get this one might just 347 00:14:47,308 --> 00:14:49,548 Speaker 9: be who's the tougher team on the trenches and who's 348 00:14:49,548 --> 00:14:51,108 Speaker 9: going to be it as far as defensive line and 349 00:14:51,188 --> 00:14:53,908 Speaker 9: offensive line, who's doing And they've been talking smack and 350 00:14:53,948 --> 00:14:56,228 Speaker 9: these guys like to talk smack, and like, I just 351 00:14:56,268 --> 00:14:59,348 Speaker 9: can't imagine what's gonna happen the first time that Jalen 352 00:14:59,388 --> 00:15:00,108 Speaker 9: Carter comes out, and. 353 00:15:00,108 --> 00:15:02,268 Speaker 8: Then it's gonna be Trent Williams giving him a little edge. 354 00:15:02,268 --> 00:15:04,988 Speaker 9: And on the other end, you've got obviously Chase Young 355 00:15:05,028 --> 00:15:06,748 Speaker 9: and Boast and these guys. And it's my a lot 356 00:15:06,788 --> 00:15:10,468 Speaker 9: on it. It's of course our big boy Kelsey. I 357 00:15:10,508 --> 00:15:12,588 Speaker 9: think this is like the prequel to what they might 358 00:15:12,628 --> 00:15:14,228 Speaker 9: be seeing later on. And I know we just talked 359 00:15:14,228 --> 00:15:16,988 Speaker 9: about the Cowboys for a long time. I can't help 360 00:15:17,028 --> 00:15:19,108 Speaker 9: but feel this feels a little bit like Cowboys Niners 361 00:15:19,148 --> 00:15:20,548 Speaker 9: of the nineties when they would pay in the regular 362 00:15:20,548 --> 00:15:23,068 Speaker 9: season around like week eleven, week twelve, and you knew 363 00:15:23,068 --> 00:15:25,668 Speaker 9: they were gonna play in the playoffs. Again, this is 364 00:15:25,708 --> 00:15:27,428 Speaker 9: gonna be part one, and if you really want to 365 00:15:27,428 --> 00:15:29,548 Speaker 9: go back to last year when this thing really started, 366 00:15:29,708 --> 00:15:30,548 Speaker 9: this is part two. 367 00:15:30,908 --> 00:15:33,548 Speaker 8: Part three might be in January.

How are you going to defend aj 392 00:16:23,548 --> 00:16:25,708 Speaker 5: Brown and Devonte Smith and all of these guys. That's 393 00:16:25,708 --> 00:16:27,428 Speaker 5: what I'm here to see. I want to see, defensively, 394 00:16:27,668 --> 00:16:29,788 Speaker 5: how they step up and get their job done in 395 00:16:29,908 --> 00:16:32,428 Speaker 5: order to let Party and Deebo and CMC and all 396 00:16:32,428 --> 00:16:33,228 Speaker 5: of those guys cook. 397 00:16:33,388 --> 00:16:34,748 Speaker 2: Well, I think that's gonna be the story. I think 398 00:16:34,788 --> 00:16:35,508 Speaker 2: it's gonna be pretty. 399 00:16:35,828 --> 00:16:38,148 Speaker 1: And if this is a big matchup for Purdy and 400 00:16:38,228 --> 00:16:41,748 Speaker 1: a lot of almost literal scar tissue against Philadelphia, and 401 00:16:41,788 --> 00:16:44,348 Speaker 1: he's going against this defensive front, like you guys ruined 402 00:16:44,348 --> 00:16:46,308 Speaker 1: my Disney movie. I was gonna win the super Bowl 403 00:16:46,388 --> 00:16:48,028 Speaker 1: last year. I was gonna be the biggest story in 404 00:16:48,028 --> 00:16:50,828 Speaker 1: the history of sports. It is about the trenches. It 405 00:16:50,828 --> 00:16:51,908 Speaker 1: is about the old line, d line. 406 00:16:51,948 --> 00:16:52,628 Speaker 2: It's also this. 407 00:16:52,948 --> 00:16:56,228 Speaker 1: And if you are really genuinely disliking the Niners and 408 00:16:56,228 --> 00:16:57,868 Speaker 1: you're on the Eagles, and you have a little wickedness 409 00:16:57,908 --> 00:16:59,588 Speaker 1: about you, and your name might be Hassan Reddick, you 410 00:16:59,628 --> 00:17:02,228 Speaker 1: think you're not chirping maybe a party giving him a 411 00:17:02,228 --> 00:17:04,268 Speaker 1: little bumped, Maybe you're gonna make sure you pass Rush 412 00:17:04,268 --> 00:17:07,188 Speaker 1: and early Rock Party had his world Rock the entire 413 00:17:07,268 --> 00:17:10,068 Speaker 1: team did about twenty seconds into the last time they played. 414 00:17:10,428 --> 00:17:11,628 Speaker 2: Now we're running this one back. 415 00:17:11,708 --> 00:17:14,668 Speaker 1: I think it's more more than just obviously the Philly 416 00:17:14,708 --> 00:17:16,468 Speaker 1: front and can Purty continue to do it on a 417 00:17:16,508 --> 00:17:18,788 Speaker 1: big stage and all those questions we've been asking. Also, 418 00:17:18,828 --> 00:17:20,868 Speaker 1: I think this is a really personal game for Rock 419 00:17:20,948 --> 00:17:24,108 Speaker 1: Party and the fact that this knocked him out of 420 00:17:24,148 --> 00:17:25,788 Speaker 1: the game, out of the season. I want to see 421 00:17:25,788 --> 00:17:28,668 Speaker 1: how Party shows up psychologically in this one. Look, We've 422 00:17:28,668 --> 00:17:30,548 Speaker 1: made a million robot jokes about him. This is going 423 00:17:30,588 --> 00:17:32,948 Speaker 1: to be the hardest he's had to compartimentalize and focus 424 00:17:33,268 --> 00:17:34,148 Speaker 1: probably in his career. 425 00:17:34,148 --> 00:17:36,188 Speaker 8: The biggest in that building too, which is where the 426 00:17:36,228 --> 00:17:37,188 Speaker 8: Hause of Horrors went. 427 00:17:37,108 --> 00:17:39,748 Speaker 1: Down, massive back there in the same building, Like that's 428 00:17:39,908 --> 00:17:41,148 Speaker 1: I don't think you forget stuff like that. 429 00:17:41,228 --> 00:17:43,348 Speaker 2: I'm looking a hot Party composed himself. I expect you will. 430 00:17:43,428 --> 00:17:46,148 Speaker 3: This is like a premier coaching matchup too, Like the 431 00:17:46,228 --> 00:17:49,628 Speaker 3: Sirianni Shanahan thing just all season long has been spectacular 432 00:17:49,748 --> 00:17:53,828 Speaker 3: watched from like a personality standpoint and a gamesmanship standpoint, 433 00:17:53,828 --> 00:17:56,428 Speaker 3: and the way these two operate their teams and organizations. 434 00:17:56,468 --> 00:17:59,428 Speaker 3: I find completely fascinating that it's like the Mike McDaniels 435 00:17:59,428 --> 00:18:03,068 Speaker 3: experiences is Mike McDaniel is interesting and it's compelling, and 436 00:18:03,108 --> 00:18:05,628 Speaker 3: he says funny things. But the Waysirianni goes about his 437 00:18:05,788 --> 00:18:09,268 Speaker 3: business on the sideline sometimes, the way Shanahan answers questions 438 00:18:09,308 --> 00:18:12,908 Speaker 3: sometimes after games is fascinating. So those two and just 439 00:18:12,988 --> 00:18:14,628 Speaker 3: the where they are in their careers and what they 440 00:18:14,628 --> 00:18:16,628 Speaker 3: have accomplished and hopefully what is to come for them, 441 00:18:16,868 --> 00:18:18,388 Speaker 3: I find compelling as well. 442 00:18:18,828 --> 00:18:20,988 Speaker 9: And Nick's gonna lead into it this week with Jason 443 00:18:20,988 --> 00:18:23,148 Speaker 9: as our ex player. I ask you the whole San 444 00:18:23,188 --> 00:18:25,628 Speaker 9: Francisco thing, their aura of like, well, you beat us, 445 00:18:25,628 --> 00:18:27,748 Speaker 9: but did you really beat us? How would that go 446 00:18:27,828 --> 00:18:29,668 Speaker 9: over for a locker room if you're Philadelphia. 447 00:18:29,708 --> 00:18:32,708 Speaker 5: Oh oh, you heard Hassan Reddick this week, and they've 448 00:18:32,748 --> 00:18:36,548 Speaker 5: been waiting for this matchup because they the forty nine 449 00:18:36,628 --> 00:18:38,348 Speaker 5: trying to put an asterisk next to the Eagles run 450 00:18:38,428 --> 00:18:39,748 Speaker 5: last year and I led to them in the Super 451 00:18:39,788 --> 00:18:41,628 Speaker 5: Bowl and now you get to running back and I 452 00:18:41,668 --> 00:18:43,588 Speaker 5: think Hassan Reddick he said it beautifully. He was like, 453 00:18:43,628 --> 00:18:46,308 Speaker 5: we get to lace that bleep up. And that's all 454 00:18:46,348 --> 00:18:48,268 Speaker 5: the talk that's going on in the Philly. 455 00:18:47,948 --> 00:18:49,348 Speaker 2: Locker room is boo. 456 00:18:49,068 --> 00:18:50,548 Speaker 5: Who you want your second chance? 457 00:18:50,628 --> 00:18:51,068 Speaker 7: You have it. 458 00:18:51,108 --> 00:18:52,588 Speaker 5: Come into the link and we're going to show you 459 00:18:52,588 --> 00:18:54,708 Speaker 5: what we're really about.

You know, AFC South opponent in Nashville, 498 00:20:36,908 --> 00:20:40,548 Speaker 11: our chance to take that next step and go, you know, 499 00:20:40,828 --> 00:20:43,508 Speaker 11: the next AFC win, Right, just keep winning off wins 500 00:20:43,548 --> 00:20:46,308 Speaker 11: in December as really exciting as a player and to 501 00:20:46,308 --> 00:20:48,668 Speaker 11: play for something meaningful, and that's that's that's what this 502 00:20:48,668 --> 00:20:51,468 Speaker 11: team's done every single week is we've just battled. We've 503 00:20:51,508 --> 00:20:53,068 Speaker 11: never been out of the fight, you know, And I 504 00:20:53,148 --> 00:20:57,268 Speaker 11: think that's really exciting to have that as a team. 505 00:20:57,388 --> 00:20:59,828 Speaker 9: Yeah, it's funny because Jacks Texans. Last week everyone was 506 00:20:59,868 --> 00:21:01,588 Speaker 9: talking about those two teams in the AFC South. You 507 00:21:01,588 --> 00:21:03,868 Speaker 9: look at the standings, you guys are right there, and 508 00:21:03,908 --> 00:21:06,348 Speaker 9: you yourself off. I've played with the culture your entire career. 509 00:21:06,748 --> 00:21:10,468 Speaker 9: You've seen four different head coaches. Now Shane Steikeen is 510 00:21:10,468 --> 00:21:12,468 Speaker 9: the man. What do you like about him? And what 511 00:21:12,468 --> 00:21:14,388 Speaker 9: do the viewers at home who might not be in 512 00:21:14,428 --> 00:21:17,028 Speaker 9: that locker room need to know about Shane Steichen. 513 00:21:18,668 --> 00:21:18,868 Speaker 7: Yeah. 514 00:21:18,908 --> 00:21:20,988 Speaker 11: I think when you think about talking about Shane, I 515 00:21:20,988 --> 00:21:24,188 Speaker 11: get this question. Pos a lot is like three things 516 00:21:24,228 --> 00:21:27,468 Speaker 11: going to my mind is the accountability factor, the execution, 517 00:21:27,668 --> 00:21:30,628 Speaker 11: which in the details, and then having fun. I think 518 00:21:30,668 --> 00:21:34,188 Speaker 11: that I think players in the NFL, you can can see, 519 00:21:34,268 --> 00:21:36,348 Speaker 11: you know, if a guy's genuine, if he's being authentic 520 00:21:36,388 --> 00:21:37,948 Speaker 11: who he is, and if that's just who he is, 521 00:21:37,988 --> 00:21:38,628 Speaker 11: he's a winner. 522 00:21:39,428 --> 00:21:40,588 Speaker 2: He's gonna hold guys accountable. 523 00:21:40,588 --> 00:21:42,428 Speaker 11: It doesn't matter if you're in year nine, if you're 524 00:21:42,428 --> 00:21:44,468 Speaker 11: a rookie, if you started one hundred games, or if 525 00:21:44,468 --> 00:21:46,988 Speaker 11: you started no games. The accountability factor has to be 526 00:21:47,028 --> 00:21:49,708 Speaker 11: there and I think it's as a professional athlete, you 527 00:21:49,748 --> 00:21:51,028 Speaker 11: just want to know what the standard is. You want 528 00:21:51,028 --> 00:21:53,068 Speaker 11: to know the standard is what we're going to do 529 00:21:53,068 --> 00:21:55,148 Speaker 11: to execute and win, and then ultimately, you know, the 530 00:21:55,148 --> 00:21:57,748 Speaker 11: fun part of that is winning. I think that he 531 00:21:57,788 --> 00:21:59,908 Speaker 11: does such a great job of, you know, having a 532 00:21:59,908 --> 00:22:04,068 Speaker 11: message everybody for this team that's attainable, inspiring guys to 533 00:22:04,108 --> 00:22:07,468 Speaker 11: go out there, you know, play who they are, play together, 534 00:22:08,188 --> 00:22:10,548 Speaker 11: and ultimately, you know, when we were three and five, 535 00:22:10,828 --> 00:22:13,708 Speaker 11: you know, some guys looking a little little grim, but 536 00:22:13,748 --> 00:22:15,708 Speaker 11: that guy never wavered. I think that his his true 537 00:22:15,748 --> 00:22:17,908 Speaker 11: passion is to be a football coach and he just 538 00:22:17,948 --> 00:22:19,908 Speaker 11: loves it. And you can see it in the way 539 00:22:19,908 --> 00:22:21,748 Speaker 11: that we play the game, the way that the teammates 540 00:22:21,748 --> 00:22:24,708 Speaker 11: talking about each other. It's just been it's been awesome 541 00:22:24,748 --> 00:22:26,668 Speaker 11: and just they got the right higher for sure. 542 00:22:26,948 --> 00:22:29,508 Speaker 1: Ryan a little elf told us that tis the season 543 00:22:29,548 --> 00:22:32,228 Speaker 1: for the Indianapolis Colts official holiday party. 544 00:22:32,308 --> 00:22:32,868 Speaker 2: We just heard. 545 00:22:32,948 --> 00:22:35,948 Speaker 1: I can't confirm. I'd like to go just to hear 546 00:22:35,988 --> 00:22:38,588 Speaker 1: mister Ersa's speech. But let me ask you who gets 547 00:22:38,628 --> 00:22:41,788 Speaker 1: the game ball for the best hang at the party tonight? 548 00:22:41,828 --> 00:22:43,708 Speaker 2: And why is it? Gardner Minshew. 549 00:22:45,468 --> 00:22:50,388 Speaker 11: Man, I can't speak on if I leaked that information 550 00:22:50,668 --> 00:22:53,948 Speaker 11: or if you got that from an outside source, but inside. 551 00:22:53,508 --> 00:22:54,508 Speaker 7: I do believe that. 552 00:22:55,188 --> 00:22:59,228 Speaker 11: You know, I think Gardner could get best dressed just 553 00:22:59,308 --> 00:23:04,508 Speaker 11: based off of he might wear flip flops. But he 554 00:23:04,668 --> 00:23:06,108 Speaker 11: is one of my favorite people. I talked about this 555 00:23:06,188 --> 00:23:09,588 Speaker 11: back in April. You know, the guy came in day 556 00:23:09,668 --> 00:23:11,588 Speaker 11: one thinking he was gonna be the starter we draft 557 00:23:11,628 --> 00:23:14,228 Speaker 11: Anthon Richardson. He never changed. He never changed who he was, 558 00:23:14,668 --> 00:23:19,108 Speaker 11: his demeanor in the building, his leadership style, his preparation, 559 00:23:19,828 --> 00:23:21,228 Speaker 11: all these things that you looked for in a great 560 00:23:21,268 --> 00:23:24,868 Speaker 11: quarterback and in a great professional And obviously he's got 561 00:23:24,908 --> 00:23:27,628 Speaker 11: his quirks. He's guys, the legend of Gardner Mitchew goes 562 00:23:27,668 --> 00:23:29,628 Speaker 11: on right. But I think what people don't see is 563 00:23:29,668 --> 00:23:31,948 Speaker 11: how hard he works behind the scenes at his craft. 564 00:23:31,948 --> 00:23:34,228 Speaker 11: And I think you've seen that throughout the weeks of 565 00:23:34,268 --> 00:23:36,668 Speaker 11: him playing since Anthony got hurt. And Anthony got hurt 566 00:23:37,228 --> 00:23:40,348 Speaker 11: in that game, Gardner goes right in, never misses a beat, 567 00:23:40,388 --> 00:23:42,348 Speaker 11: never misses the beat with the guys because he's built 568 00:23:42,348 --> 00:23:45,228 Speaker 11: that camaraderie to the locker room. So he's definitely one 569 00:23:45,228 --> 00:23:46,708 Speaker 11: of my favorite teamates I've ever played with. 570 00:23:47,988 --> 00:23:48,388 Speaker 2: Awesome. 571 00:23:48,428 --> 00:23:50,148 Speaker 3: Well, you just told us that he wears flip flops. 572 00:23:50,228 --> 00:23:52,988 Speaker 3: Potentially on December first, I can see that's the next 573 00:23:53,028 --> 00:23:56,868 Speaker 3: line item on his legendary status. Brian, you and your 574 00:23:56,868 --> 00:24:00,108 Speaker 3: wife Emma have been incredibly transparent in a lot of 575 00:24:00,108 --> 00:24:02,308 Speaker 3: things that have gone on in your life, which we 576 00:24:02,708 --> 00:24:04,788 Speaker 3: find so helpful to a lot of people, and we 577 00:24:04,828 --> 00:24:07,388 Speaker 3: commend you for it.

So uh 595 00:24:48,868 --> 00:24:53,028 Speaker 11: that this month for me and Emma, it just means 596 00:24:53,028 --> 00:24:55,748 Speaker 11: a significant you know, signifies the growth of you know, 597 00:24:55,788 --> 00:24:56,868 Speaker 11: every single baby that's in there. 598 00:24:56,868 --> 00:24:57,988 Speaker 2: I mean there's there's babies. 599 00:24:57,708 --> 00:25:02,348 Speaker 11: That never leave that that hospital.

I believe we can go all 742 00:31:18,588 --> 00:31:21,508 Speaker 13: the way. But you know, Coach Pete, because Pete obviously 743 00:31:21,508 --> 00:31:23,468 Speaker 13: put in our minds that this is one game at 744 00:31:23,468 --> 00:31:26,188 Speaker 13: the time. You know, we're in the playoff run right now, 745 00:31:26,588 --> 00:31:28,948 Speaker 13: and for us, man, every game is important, So we 746 00:31:29,028 --> 00:31:31,588 Speaker 13: got to really hone in each week and really be 747 00:31:31,668 --> 00:31:36,028 Speaker 13: ready to dominate. For me, thinking about last year, you 748 00:31:36,068 --> 00:31:38,068 Speaker 13: know about myself, I don't think I played my best 749 00:31:38,068 --> 00:31:40,108 Speaker 13: ball and to see we went to the first round 750 00:31:40,148 --> 00:31:43,748 Speaker 13: playoffs was incredible.
