Let's let's go by Peter Schrey, Hair, Kyle Brand, 10 00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:57,760 Speaker 1: Maurice Jones, Drew Oh Kyles some wok done him too, No, 11 00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:00,720 Speaker 1: that's not We live in Manhattan and this man could 12 00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:04,640 Speaker 1: not find a denim jacket. GMFP with your thoughts. Let's 13 00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:07,640 Speaker 1: break it down and bring in rap sheet. Dean rappafore 14 00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:09,600 Speaker 1: joining us with some news. And we had some big 15 00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:13,600 Speaker 1: news yesterday In New York, the Giants let go of 16 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:17,280 Speaker 1: head coach Joe Judge. What led to the decision. After 17 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:20,800 Speaker 1: two days of extensive meetings with both owners John Maron 18 00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:24,520 Speaker 1: Steve Tisty, Giants decided to fire Joe Judge after just 19 00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:28,199 Speaker 1: two seasons. There was so much optimism afore this coach 20 00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:30,120 Speaker 1: and the hope that it would work. Finally for the 21 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,680 Speaker 1: Giants after a couple of cycles where they fired a 22 00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:35,160 Speaker 1: coach after just two seasons, still trying to get back 23 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,200 Speaker 1: on track. But for Judge, it seems this really came 24 00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:40,520 Speaker 1: down to it, as the owners said in a statement, 25 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,119 Speaker 1: looking at the product on the field in the last 26 00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:45,759 Speaker 1: game of the season and just not believing that they're 27 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,080 Speaker 1: heading in the right direction. And to be sure, for 28 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 1: Joe Judge, there were several viral moments for this team 29 00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:54,200 Speaker 1: that did seem to lead to the fan base turning 30 00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,720 Speaker 1: on him and eventually lead to his outs. There was 31 00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 1: the sneak on third and nine. There was the press 32 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 1: conference with a cup weeks ago. All of this contributed 33 00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:05,560 Speaker 1: to the noise from the fan base and then eventually 34 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:07,920 Speaker 1: the decisions from the owners. And of course it was 35 00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:11,120 Speaker 1: a clean house for the Giants, Dave Getleman out. So 36 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 1: what they're going to do was hire the general manager 37 00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,960 Speaker 1: first and then the head coach Joe Shane, respected executive 38 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 1: for the Buffalo Bill's interviews today and for Judge, obviously 39 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 1: a frustrating and disappointing situation. This team played unbelievably hard 40 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,120 Speaker 1: for him. Just the product on the field was simply 41 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,320 Speaker 1: not good enough. And I'm sure there were some reasons 42 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,120 Speaker 1: why we sattled with a bad general manager in Dave Getleman, 43 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:34,120 Speaker 1: an office ave coordinator, and Jason Garrett that he was 44 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:36,919 Speaker 1: certainly uncertain about third string quarterback by the end of 45 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 1: the season. In the end, the idea was that the 46 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 1: results were simply not good enough for the Giants and 47 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,800 Speaker 1: they move on. So they want to go GM first, 48 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:46,960 Speaker 1: then coach Oh, then they'll move on to what to 49 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,160 Speaker 1: do with Daniel Jones, who's got one year left, and 50 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,320 Speaker 1: then say quon and it goes on from there. Thank 51 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,400 Speaker 1: you so much, Ian, talk to you throughout the morning. 52 00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:55,959 Speaker 1: Would you make it this. I was a little surprised 53 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:57,960 Speaker 1: it didn't happen Monday. Yeah, okay. I think that's a 54 00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,720 Speaker 1: good point because I could tell you talking to folks 55 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:04,040 Speaker 1: who are contacted for the GM position interviews, a lot 56 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 1: of them reached it back out to me and said, well, 57 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 1: what do you know about Joe Judge. I don't know, 58 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,800 Speaker 1: Joe Judge. What am I walking into here? And already 59 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,240 Speaker 1: it felt like a very awkward situation that there were 60 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:15,360 Speaker 1: gms that were going to be interviewed. Joe Judge was 61 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,520 Speaker 1: not going to be in the interviews, and yet they 62 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 1: had to give an assessment on Joe Judge, the person, 63 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 1: the coach and what he was all about. So I 64 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 1: think the tenor in the media actually did play a role, 65 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:27,080 Speaker 1: but also the response from a lot of these GM candidates, 66 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,240 Speaker 1: maybe even not to the Giants, but around being like, oh, 67 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,400 Speaker 1: what's that situation? What am I walking into? I think 68 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:33,480 Speaker 1: the Giants brass eventually just say let's just rip the 69 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 1: band aid off and to a clean start. But it 70 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 1: was a day removed. I think if the media didn't 71 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:39,080 Speaker 1: play a role, and if they could, they would love 72 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 1: to have had the dust settle a little bit and 73 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 1: then assess Joe Judge. But the time is of the essence. 74 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:46,720 Speaker 1: There's a lot of teams now looking for a GM, 75 00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,240 Speaker 1: and I think whatever GM comes in, they're either a 76 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 1: gonna want their own head coach or they're not going 77 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 1: to have a fresh look at it. And you don't 78 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 1: want to inherit a GM that you don't know and 79 00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 1: say I'm getting in bed with this after a career 80 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 1: of building up towards this point, so let's turn the page. 81 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 1: What now they're going to be interviewing Joe Shane over Zoo. 82 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 1: Who is Joe Shane. Joe Shane is the number two. 83 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 1: He's the assistant general manager in Buffalo. He came along 84 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:16,840 Speaker 1: with Brandon Bean in twenty seventeen when Brandon Bean left Carolina, 85 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 1: Joe Shane was poached from Miami joined him on this 86 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 1: quest over with. His first draft pick with Brandon Bean 87 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:25,560 Speaker 1: was Josh Allen in a draft where the Giants selected 88 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,599 Speaker 1: sa Quon Barkley second overall. Since then, of course, the 89 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 1: Bills have built up one of the best rosters in 90 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,039 Speaker 1: all of football and also have had ten wins in 91 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,480 Speaker 1: three straight seasons. So you look at Shane, You're like, 92 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:37,520 Speaker 1: all right, well, what does that mean for my coach? Well, 93 00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 1: the natural connection is their offensive coordinator, Brian Dable would 94 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:43,800 Speaker 1: be a potential head coaching candidate, And if you look 95 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 1: at what the Giants are trying to build offense, I 96 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,360 Speaker 1: think has to be a priority. But Dable also, like Judge, 97 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,159 Speaker 1: has spent time with Nick Saban, has spent time with 98 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,919 Speaker 1: Bill Belichick. But unlike Judge and unlike a lot of 99 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 1: these Belichick disciples, Dabil knew I'm not going to be 100 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,479 Speaker 1: the best coach possible unless I break off that tree 101 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 1: and he went on his own two Buffalo where now 102 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:05,680 Speaker 1: he is learning from not only Sean McDermott, but Leslie 103 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,840 Speaker 1: Fraser and has helped make Josh Josh Allen deserves a 104 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:10,600 Speaker 1: lot of the credit himself. But if you've seen Josh 105 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,040 Speaker 1: Allen's career take these leaps year after year after year, 106 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 1: the offensive coordinator is the person in his ear. So, 107 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:17,360 Speaker 1: if I'm a Giants fan, first crack at it. Yes, 108 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 1: they're interviewing eight different GM candidates, and of course they're 109 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:21,760 Speaker 1: going to have all sorts of different head coaching interviews. 110 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,080 Speaker 1: First crack at it might be that Buffalo brass, and 111 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,719 Speaker 1: I think with Daniel Jones being the question at quarterback, 112 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 1: you might want to have that brass who has worked 113 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:30,840 Speaker 1: with Josh Allen maybe take their first looks at him 114 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 1: as well. YEA, the fifth and seventh overall pick two, 115 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,040 Speaker 1: This is a huge deal. I mean, I'm looking at 116 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:38,240 Speaker 1: that GM spot. That's wild, that's those drafts. This might 117 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:40,280 Speaker 1: be the most important draft, not to be hyperbolic, that 118 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,320 Speaker 1: the Giants have really ever had. They have so much 119 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 1: at the top, really quickly. One more piece on it. 120 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,440 Speaker 1: This is a team that has had over a thousand 121 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 1: players play for them in the last several years. Like 122 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 1: the injuries are through the roof, there's a whole thing organizationally. 123 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:57,640 Speaker 1: Giants have had three different head coaches, four different offensive coordinators. 124 00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:01,039 Speaker 1: They've had all these different changes for this quarterback, Daniel Jones. 125 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,640 Speaker 1: To your point on the draft not a great quarterback draft. 126 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 1: So whoever comes in has to give a fresh I 127 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:06,680 Speaker 1: just can't say, well, we got to get rid of 128 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:08,760 Speaker 1: the quarterback. Daniel Jones might live to fight another day 129 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:10,560 Speaker 1: another season and we'll see from there or time of 130 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,840 Speaker 1: quarterbacks are go in the first round. Anyway, it trenches 131 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,000 Speaker 1: from the trenches. I want to give a view from 132 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,800 Speaker 1: the cheap seats, crappy seats. Okay, and just a little 133 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,000 Speaker 1: bit of a post mortem too on Joe Judge. There's 134 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:24,839 Speaker 1: still this impression that the Giants are like chasing Parcels, 135 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 1: not even Coughlin, but Parcels. And I think what we 136 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 1: just saw a play out in front of us is 137 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,160 Speaker 1: when tough guy thing, the touch the line that Repp 138 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:34,359 Speaker 1: did in't count insufferable, tough guy thing collapses. It collapses 139 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:36,480 Speaker 1: so fast. Bill Belichick with the Patriots won a Super 140 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:38,159 Speaker 1: Bowl in a second year. Tom Cofflin was in the 141 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 1: playoffs the second year and in the Super Bowl a 142 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:42,719 Speaker 1: few years later. And I would just encourage Giants fans 143 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 1: or all decision makers look around the playoffs right now, 144 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:49,719 Speaker 1: who's the coaches in the playoffs? Find the insufferable ball 145 00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:55,560 Speaker 1: busting tough guy. Cliff Shanahan, McVay, Sirianni Taylor. Raybol in 146 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:57,240 Speaker 1: his own way, is very loved. The Raiders made the 147 00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:59,320 Speaker 1: playoffs when they got rid of their tough guy. And 148 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,840 Speaker 1: it's not a U thing. It's say, maybe we need 149 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,520 Speaker 1: to re examine the philosophically, what type of coach the 150 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 1: players are responding to thing? And as far as Joe Judge, 151 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,880 Speaker 1: there's that line in Rounders where if you can't spot 152 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 1: the sucker in the first thirty minutes at the table, 153 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:16,040 Speaker 1: you are the sucker. And if you have a ten 154 00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:19,360 Speaker 1: minute press conference to explain why we are not a 155 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:23,240 Speaker 1: clown show, that's a clown show in and of itself. 156 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:26,160 Speaker 1: There was no dignity in that. And never mind the 157 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:30,040 Speaker 1: football for a second. He embarrassed the Giants organization, especially 158 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:32,760 Speaker 1: when you do the clown show press conference and then 159 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,680 Speaker 1: you take the field and you give them exhibit A 160 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 1: of denied clown show. I don't think. I think if 161 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 1: they punked there, Joe Judge might have a job today 162 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:44,760 Speaker 1: because it broadened out the conversation. It embarrassed the Giants. 163 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,960 Speaker 1: You have other players talking about this play. Aaron Rodgers 164 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:51,240 Speaker 1: is teeing off on this play gratuitously on a show yesterday. 165 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 1: They has nothing to do with it. I think the 166 00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:56,560 Speaker 1: Giants were embarrassed, and I think Joe Judge came in 167 00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:58,800 Speaker 1: and thought he was Belichick like many many other people 168 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,840 Speaker 1: have done, and he has. They're defiled the Belichick coach 169 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 1: entry so far to the fact that if you're considering 170 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 1: a Belichick assistant now, even McDaniels, the Prince was prompts 171 00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:09,080 Speaker 1: you have to be like, let's just stop and take 172 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 1: a breath for a second, because this thing has been sullied, 173 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,080 Speaker 1: and Joe Judge took an axe to it. I think 174 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:16,400 Speaker 1: to just kind of put it out there, this is 175 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 1: black and white. It's very simple. You won ten games 176 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,200 Speaker 1: in two years. Forget the culture, forget trying to get 177 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 1: players to play hard. You won ten games in two years. 178 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:25,960 Speaker 1: This is This is a production based lead If you're 179 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:27,960 Speaker 1: a football player and you don't produce, guess what they 180 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,320 Speaker 1: find someone eyes. It's very simple. If you're a coach, 181 00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:32,680 Speaker 1: you don't win, guess what they're gonna find someone else? 182 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,080 Speaker 1: Is that simple? And so a lot of times you 183 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:36,959 Speaker 1: see these guys that come from Bill Belichick and they're 184 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:38,760 Speaker 1: trying to do it the Belichick way or the Patriot way, 185 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 1: whoever it may be. And like you said, all this 186 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,160 Speaker 1: screaming and yellow that has nothing to do with it. 187 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:44,640 Speaker 1: Let's get the best OC, let's get the best DC, 188 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:46,760 Speaker 1: let's get the best players. Let's put a product on 189 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 1: the field that wins. Period. I'm tired of hearing like, oh, 190 00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:52,480 Speaker 1: he's a culture guy, he's this. That's good for college, 191 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:54,200 Speaker 1: that's good for high school, it's good for youth football. 192 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 1: That's awesome. And the pros you pay me a lot 193 00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:58,920 Speaker 1: of money. Did you put a service to go out 194 00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,720 Speaker 1: there and play? For some reason? These dudes aren't playing 195 00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:03,640 Speaker 1: and they don't pan out, and it's just like this 196 00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:07,080 Speaker 1: isn't high school? Like this is crazy. Did you expect 197 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:09,640 Speaker 1: to have a job after this? And the way he 198 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:12,360 Speaker 1: approached the media, I can care less about all that. Okay, 199 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 1: really this was a football decision. This had nothing to 200 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:16,680 Speaker 1: do with how if he was winning and he did that, 201 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,839 Speaker 1: they everyone like, oh, it's okay, right, because winning secures everything. 202 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:23,000 Speaker 1: When you're last and all those things. Offensively, especially in 203 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,160 Speaker 1: the league that is built for offense, you're not gonna 204 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,240 Speaker 1: make it. No one's gonna make it. So for all 205 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:29,200 Speaker 1: the coaches that are out there that are looking at 206 00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 1: to have another job and they forget the culture thing, 207 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:33,439 Speaker 1: win early. Find a way to win now if you 208 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:35,320 Speaker 1: want to keep your job, because right now these owners 209 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:37,640 Speaker 1: are like, Hey, I don't want to be the top pick. 210 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:39,520 Speaker 1: I don't want to be top ten pick every year. 211 00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:42,600 Speaker 1: We want to win now. I'm fascinated by the stuff 212 00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,120 Speaker 1: that you don't care about, especially in New York. Are 213 00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:47,360 Speaker 1: you kidding me? I came here in twenty sixteen, sat 214 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,520 Speaker 1: at this table, and New York is a unique place 215 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:52,640 Speaker 1: to play. To your point, you have to deal with 216 00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:55,640 Speaker 1: the media aspect of it. You have to earn trust 217 00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:59,360 Speaker 1: all around and culture absolutely the New York especially right now. 218 00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:03,160 Speaker 1: What is this team Denver? You're going to bout job, Kyle? 219 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:05,679 Speaker 1: What are you inheriting a great defense? Young players? You 220 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:09,040 Speaker 1: know you need a quarterback? Go on, to Jacksonville. Whoever 221 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,920 Speaker 1: goes there, Trevor Lawrence, that's my quarterback. I've got I 222 00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 1: know what I need to What do you do with 223 00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:15,920 Speaker 1: this mess that falls into your lab? How what is 224 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:20,000 Speaker 1: the level of ingenuity and enthusiasm and just other you know, 225 00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:23,080 Speaker 1: for I don't even know, collaborative thinking or whatever that 226 00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:26,520 Speaker 1: it's going to take to craft an identity out of nothing. 227 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,640 Speaker 1: Obviously there's history and legacy, but it's a mess. It's 228 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:32,560 Speaker 1: a mess. There's no identity to the team. So culture, 229 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:34,680 Speaker 1: all of that's going to be important because they literally 230 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:36,560 Speaker 1: have to glue it together with a hot glue gun. 231 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,080 Speaker 1: One of the worst salary cap situations in the entire league, 232 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:43,040 Speaker 1: despite having that record, and also a running back who 233 00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:45,920 Speaker 1: I think was available for four games under Joe George's career, 234 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,520 Speaker 1: and a quarterback who after three years, the jury is 235 00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:50,400 Speaker 1: still out on whether he can play or not. And 236 00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:52,920 Speaker 1: it's because of availability and also because that offensive line 237 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:56,000 Speaker 1: is an absolute travesty at times. This is such an 238 00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,440 Speaker 1: interesting team because k when they're winning, it is so 239 00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:02,120 Speaker 1: good for the coach. Yeah, Callin is beloved, Parcels is below, 240 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:05,160 Speaker 1: but it is. But those are hard nosed, strict coaches 241 00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:08,439 Speaker 1: that which go against Europe, that's got to win right away. 242 00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:10,959 Speaker 1: You can be strict like that is what you're saying. Absolutely. 243 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:12,679 Speaker 1: The problem is I look at the Giant team. I 244 00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:15,120 Speaker 1: don't see them winning right away. There's work to be done. 245 00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 1: This is not a come on in here and start winning. 246 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,080 Speaker 1: Coughlin a second year in the playoffs, Belichick and the 247 00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:21,520 Speaker 1: Patriots second years. Do you think fifteen minute phone breaks 248 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:23,439 Speaker 1: would work here in New York? They're work in other 249 00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:26,160 Speaker 1: places in New York. Yeah, I don't think you put 250 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,160 Speaker 1: your nose up to the first time since the Giant's 251 00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:30,000 Speaker 1: job is available, I'm not sure this is like the 252 00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:32,439 Speaker 1: most desirable job. And I know you're saying, obviously it's not. 253 00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:34,200 Speaker 1: There's Jackson all you have to sell the job because 254 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 1: it used to be like oh my god, like that logo, 255 00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:39,120 Speaker 1: like yeah, yeah, I'm not sure. All these gms and 256 00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:40,760 Speaker 1: coaches are lining up the door, and I think that's 257 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:42,360 Speaker 1: going to be a really interesting dynamic too, and they're 258 00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:45,000 Speaker 1: finally looking outside the building to hire the next person 259 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:46,840 Speaker 1: to run where you see it as this is a mess, 260 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:48,520 Speaker 1: and I can fix it. I can make it what 261 00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:50,920 Speaker 1: I wanted to be. I can create what this team 262 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,880 Speaker 1: is going forward. Time for a little whiteboard Wednesday. You 263 00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:56,280 Speaker 1: can play along at home. When asked about Tom Brady's 264 00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,800 Speaker 1: MVP chances this season, Bruce Arian said it would be 265 00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:04,880 Speaker 1: a quote travesty if the Bucks quarterback didn't achieve the honor. 266 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:06,880 Speaker 1: So all you won't found out about the MVP this weekend. 267 00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:09,040 Speaker 1: I'll find out about it n if the honors on Thursday, 268 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 1: right before Super Bowl Sunday. I'd like to know the 269 00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:15,240 Speaker 1: team that would be the biggest travesty if they lost 270 00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:17,560 Speaker 1: in the wild card round. A little bit of a stretch, 271 00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:20,760 Speaker 1: but let's do it. Travesty um. Last segment, I talked 272 00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,000 Speaker 1: about how the Bills have won ten straight games in 273 00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:25,440 Speaker 1: three straight seasons, and one of the accomplishment that is, 274 00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:28,480 Speaker 1: you lose a wild card round to these guys, it's 275 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:30,920 Speaker 1: a travesty. It's a travesty. This is gonna be the 276 00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:33,480 Speaker 1: first time the Bills have a home playoff game with 277 00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:40,400 Speaker 1: full capacity since the early nineties. Don't lose to the Patriots. 278 00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:42,400 Speaker 1: Don't all the stuff from the season, all the win 279 00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:44,680 Speaker 1: and the win in Foxboro is nothing nothing if you 280 00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:48,640 Speaker 1: lose this one. Bills, I speak for all the Bills fans. 281 00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:50,440 Speaker 1: I spell stick for other run in the Bills building, like, 282 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:53,520 Speaker 1: can't lose to the Patriots third time playing rubber match. 283 00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:55,439 Speaker 1: Go and get that victory. You're the favorite. Go take 284 00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:56,920 Speaker 1: care of this. You know what's crazy too. You know 285 00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,040 Speaker 1: they've never played a playoff car since the Merchant now 286 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:01,480 Speaker 1: just hasn't happened, and this is the one. You can't 287 00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:03,520 Speaker 1: lose that game. You can't. For me. Yeah, I'm going 288 00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:05,360 Speaker 1: back home. It has to be the Rams, the Los 289 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:08,360 Speaker 1: Angeles Rams. Listen, you you went all in this offseason. 290 00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:10,200 Speaker 1: You've been all in for the last couple of years 291 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:11,920 Speaker 1: trying to get back to the super Bowl. You go 292 00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:14,520 Speaker 1: and you sign o b J. You, you bring in 293 00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:16,559 Speaker 1: Matthew Staff, you trade all those pigs, you bring in 294 00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:19,319 Speaker 1: Van Millard. It's all for this time of the year. 295 00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:22,280 Speaker 1: When you talked about all those moves, I remember watching 296 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:24,600 Speaker 1: Lessoned and Sean McVay speak about it. It It was like, Hey, 297 00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:26,920 Speaker 1: this is not for now, it's just for January. You 298 00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,240 Speaker 1: can't go out there and stumble against the Cardinals. You 299 00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:31,560 Speaker 1: can't do that, not at home, not when when you 300 00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:32,920 Speaker 1: have a chance to play the Super Bowl in your 301 00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:34,520 Speaker 1: in your building. You have to find a way to 302 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:36,880 Speaker 1: go out there and win. Right now, Jalen Rams, you 303 00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:39,439 Speaker 1: traded for him, all these moves that you've done, is right. 304 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:40,719 Speaker 1: What they don't have a first round pick for the 305 00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:43,840 Speaker 1: next like three or four years, Okay, is never going 306 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:45,440 Speaker 1: to make a Parson And that's fine. We don't want to. 307 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:47,679 Speaker 1: And I say we because I'm like the president of 308 00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,760 Speaker 1: the Ramley but we don't want to. But we cannot 309 00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:52,920 Speaker 1: lose here because it'd be a travesty. And and so 310 00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:54,880 Speaker 1: with mine there's a travesty. And if you look around, 311 00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:58,160 Speaker 1: apparently in aneviability that somehow, some way, this team finds 312 00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,200 Speaker 1: a way to lose this weekend. I'm just gonna put 313 00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:03,360 Speaker 1: it up. The Titans, not even playing this weekend still 314 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:06,880 Speaker 1: somehow lose because and by the way, we don't even 315 00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:09,200 Speaker 1: have videotape of them, because their games didn't happen, they 316 00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:12,000 Speaker 1: weren't recorded. They don't matter. Peter has thrown down the 317 00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:15,000 Speaker 1: gauntlet earlier this week that he is asking anyone in 318 00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:17,880 Speaker 1: the media anywhere who's not in Tennessee and who's not 319 00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:20,200 Speaker 1: a former Titan to pick the Titans to win the 320 00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 1: Super Bowl. Anybody They're a one seed with a buy 321 00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:25,160 Speaker 1: and if you found anyone, not one part, they said. 322 00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:27,120 Speaker 1: Shannon Sharpe mentioned them as a contender. Girl that does 323 00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:29,640 Speaker 1: not count. Has Shannon Sharpe said they are going to 324 00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:32,280 Speaker 1: win the Super Bowls. I think they might. I honestly, 325 00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:33,960 Speaker 1: I think they might lose this weekend. I don't know 326 00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:36,440 Speaker 1: how they're gonna do it. Maybe they fold as a franchise. 327 00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:38,960 Speaker 1: Maybe they decide, you know what, we're just gonna quit now, 328 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,160 Speaker 1: we're gonna forfeit, and just whoever it was supposed to 329 00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:43,240 Speaker 1: play ass can just advance to the next round because 330 00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,520 Speaker 1: apparently we got nothing. So I think the titan might 331 00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:46,840 Speaker 1: lose this weekend, and I think that'd be a true 332 00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:49,240 Speaker 1: disrespected one seed I've ever of all time, maybe in 333 00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:50,960 Speaker 1: any sport. And I think they lose this weekend. And 334 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:52,640 Speaker 1: maybe you want to pick the Titans to win the 335 00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:56,040 Speaker 1: Super Bowl. No, I'm cool. Yeah, that's arrival of mine. 336 00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:57,920 Speaker 1: We would never do that. Okay, we would never do that. 337 00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:01,600 Speaker 1: I'm glad this is objective. Tell visual N a Wednesday 338 00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,000 Speaker 1: morning who people were the Jets Bills game? Guys, there 339 00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:07,520 Speaker 1: was an issue going on, a few issues really with 340 00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:13,720 Speaker 1: the coin flip and getting it right. Yo, welcome that sales. 341 00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:17,080 Speaker 1: You do est you're a busy team. What's your call? Tales? 342 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:22,840 Speaker 1: Is the call tales?

Don't worry 345 00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:41,600 Speaker 1: about it. It was very cold out there. Who's the elements? 346 00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:43,720 Speaker 1: All right? The twenty twenty one moment that you guys 347 00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:46,880 Speaker 1: would like a read you of would be what we 348 00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:49,480 Speaker 1: all sat through it. It should never be mentioned again. 349 00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:52,840 Speaker 1: Dolphins Saints Monday Night Football. It's going to be going 350 00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:55,520 Speaker 1: down as the Ian Book. Everyone in the world in 351 00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:58,400 Speaker 1: New Orleans is out because of COVID, And it was 352 00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:01,080 Speaker 1: just a travesty of a game because of how many 353 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:03,640 Speaker 1: people the Saints had down. They play the game and 354 00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:06,160 Speaker 1: you look at the playoff picture. Now, if the Saints 355 00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,720 Speaker 1: had won this game, they're probably going to the playoffs. Now, 356 00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:10,800 Speaker 1: I'm gonna make an excuses. Every team had to do it. 357 00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:13,840 Speaker 1: This one was on national TV port Ian Book, and 358 00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:15,640 Speaker 1: I say that with sympathy because I think he was 359 00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:18,640 Speaker 1: starting to the fire with missing everybody on offense as well. 360 00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:23,320 Speaker 1: It just was not the NFL's best product. If there 361 00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:26,440 Speaker 1: was two hundred and seventy two games and Chargers Raiders 362 00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:28,280 Speaker 1: was number one on the list of one. This was 363 00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:30,720 Speaker 1: two seventy two from a product from gam And. So 364 00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:32,960 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say I don't need to see this one. 365 00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:36,920 Speaker 1: It's like the coin flip. Let's get a redo on that. Yeah, 366 00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,680 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with timeout gate. I think timeout gate 367 00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:42,120 Speaker 1: is from the Chargers Raiders that you have to have 368 00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:44,280 Speaker 1: a redo, right, Like, you have a chance to make 369 00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:46,840 Speaker 1: it to the playoffs. You played hard, we all joked 370 00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:49,240 Speaker 1: about just taking knees and you could get in. You 371 00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:51,680 Speaker 1: actually have a chance here, and then you called timeout 372 00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:55,600 Speaker 1: and I respect the decision. I respect the answer to 373 00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:57,960 Speaker 1: do it, but the result. We just talked about results, right, 374 00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:00,640 Speaker 1: like wins and losses. The result is all that matters, 375 00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:03,160 Speaker 1: and the result ends up and you losing, not going 376 00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:05,919 Speaker 1: to the playoffs, and then the Raiders obviously going, and 377 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:08,000 Speaker 1: then the pis verse years getting in me. Let me 378 00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:09,760 Speaker 1: go ahead and hit the button and try to restart 379 00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:12,480 Speaker 1: that not going to age well because Daley's explanation makes sense, 380 00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:15,359 Speaker 1: but if you were watching the game, it didn't make sense. 381 00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:17,600 Speaker 1: So years from now, I don't know if it'll age well, 382 00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:19,320 Speaker 1: But right now I would like to redo two. This 383 00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:22,080 Speaker 1: is my answer for a different reason. Pat spills three passes. 384 00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:25,280 Speaker 1: This game was very memorable, and it was in Buffalo, 385 00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:26,760 Speaker 1: and the Patriots win, And I don't want to do 386 00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:28,919 Speaker 1: a redo because the Patriots won. They deserved they were 387 00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:30,840 Speaker 1: the better team that night. What I would really love 388 00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:33,560 Speaker 1: the redo is I wish the Patriots had thrown zero passes, 389 00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:37,080 Speaker 1: because then it's really historic. Then it's the Belichick zero 390 00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:39,200 Speaker 1: pass games to you, you know what, and he didn't 391 00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:40,960 Speaker 1: need to do throw any passes. They would have won 392 00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:44,879 Speaker 1: this game with zero That is truly then an unbelievable 393 00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:47,959 Speaker 1: gem on his resume that when he finally retires, remember 394 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:49,600 Speaker 1: that time in Buffalo. You guys want without throwing a 395 00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:52,879 Speaker 1: single pass. The three passes totally unnecessary. They win without it. 396 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:54,720 Speaker 1: I wish it had been a zero pass game, because 397 00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:57,359 Speaker 1: then it becomes then it becomes the Holy Roller. They 398 00:17:57,440 --> 00:17:59,840 Speaker 1: had become a nickname game, the no pass game. Now, 399 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:02,000 Speaker 1: well Mac Jones through three pass it's just sloppy, and 400 00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:04,040 Speaker 1: I wish they couldn't. Maybe this weekend, I forgot about 401 00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:07,199 Speaker 1: it until you just reminded me of it. Would be 402 00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:09,680 Speaker 1: with your thoughts on whiteboard Wednesday. We've got a lot 403 00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:12,960 Speaker 1: of possible coaching hires. Peter's going to break down who 404 00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:29,040 Speaker 1: you need to know maxt Rogers whisper Good morning, Hey everybody, 405 00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:31,560 Speaker 1: welcome to Good Morning Football. Thank you for choosing us. 406 00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:35,520 Speaker 1: We're talking super wild Card weekends. Three days, tons of games, 407 00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:38,240 Speaker 1: the first time wild Card weekend extends to Monday, a 408 00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:41,480 Speaker 1: Monday night. Or that MJD has some mixed feelings about 409 00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:43,760 Speaker 1: the member of the Ramilly that he is. It's just 410 00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:46,040 Speaker 1: as you know, it just takes too long to get there. 411 00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:49,920 Speaker 1: We want to play now, Peter Schrager, Kyle Brandt at GMFB, 412 00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:53,680 Speaker 1: It's time for the lead. Three days, six games, one 413 00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:56,919 Speaker 1: et bic weekend. But let's check in guys on the 414 00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,960 Speaker 1: massive AFC East matchup Saturday night. Gardy, what are you 415 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:04,520 Speaker 1: got on? Pats Bills? For the third time in forty days, 416 00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:07,720 Speaker 1: the Patriots and Bills will meet on Saturday. Sean McDermot saying, 417 00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:10,040 Speaker 1: hard enough to prepare for the Patriots when you have 418 00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:13,120 Speaker 1: some time between games and now you have everything condensed 419 00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:15,200 Speaker 1: and it's a short week, just makes it that much 420 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:18,359 Speaker 1: more difficult for the Patriots. They highlight Josh Allen what 421 00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:21,000 Speaker 1: he did to them the day after Christmas. He controlled 422 00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:23,720 Speaker 1: that game, making plays with his arm, making plays with 423 00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:27,679 Speaker 1: his feet, just a deadly combination, but also using his 424 00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:31,240 Speaker 1: brain taking what the Patriots gave him. Patriots clearly need 425 00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:33,240 Speaker 1: to put more pressure on Alan. He had all kinds 426 00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:36,919 Speaker 1: of time in that second game and he dominated. They 427 00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:38,840 Speaker 1: can't let that happen again or they'll be looking at 428 00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:43,760 Speaker 1: the same result. Great report from Gardy there. So that 429 00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:45,800 Speaker 1: was a second match between the Pats and Bills. Let's 430 00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:47,880 Speaker 1: go back to the first meeting this season. People want 431 00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:50,560 Speaker 1: to say it's flukey, there's weather involved. That was week thirteen, 432 00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:53,000 Speaker 1: not too long ago. That was the Monday night, or 433 00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:55,439 Speaker 1: the wind and cold, or playing a huge reau Jones 434 00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:58,639 Speaker 1: through how many passes come he made it message should 435 00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:02,000 Speaker 1: have been zero. What happened? England ran all over, Buffalo 436 00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:05,800 Speaker 1: ran them over in their building. The elements, of course 437 00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:10,000 Speaker 1: where a factor. Alan spoke about the weather yesterday. Not 438 00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:12,119 Speaker 1: fun getting hit and the cold. It's not fun catching 439 00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:14,720 Speaker 1: our passes in the cold, be getting off the ground. 440 00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:17,760 Speaker 1: It's just it's a little more exhausting throughout the course 441 00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:19,840 Speaker 1: of the game. So are you a too warmer guy, 442 00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:21,600 Speaker 1: are you a three layer shosh guy? Or what is 443 00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:23,720 Speaker 1: the player. Not I'm a one layer shot guy. But 444 00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:25,320 Speaker 1: we we have the heated benches and they got the 445 00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:28,520 Speaker 1: little footwarmers there. But sometimes when it's when super cold, 446 00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:30,680 Speaker 1: they it doesn't feel like much. They beat us at home, 447 00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:32,960 Speaker 1: and that's where we're playing this game, so we got 448 00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:35,400 Speaker 1: to be ready for whatever they can throw at us. 449 00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:37,680 Speaker 1: And again it's gonna be a twelve round slug fest, 450 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:39,120 Speaker 1: and in my opinion, is going to take all four 451 00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:41,800 Speaker 1: quarters to win a game. That's a bite right there, 452 00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:44,800 Speaker 1: twelve round slug fest on Saturday night. I'm sure these 453 00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:48,120 Speaker 1: you know, older og Buffalo Bills players are heated benches. 454 00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:52,119 Speaker 1: What are these cuter bunches rock? How much does the 455 00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:55,080 Speaker 1: Bills lost the Patriots in week thirteen, again not very 456 00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:57,280 Speaker 1: long ago. How much does that matter or should it 457 00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:59,720 Speaker 1: matter with this game? It doesn't matter at all because 458 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:01,959 Speaker 1: not gonna have those that like fifty mile in our 459 00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:04,520 Speaker 1: wind and all that going on. This is gonna be cold, 460 00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:07,119 Speaker 1: and we know that Josh All can throw the ball 461 00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:09,040 Speaker 1: through the you know, all over the yard and do 462 00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:11,119 Speaker 1: all those things. But I want to talk about Stefan 463 00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:13,840 Speaker 1: Diggs because the second time they played, he took over 464 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:15,879 Speaker 1: the game, right He was the one that kind of 465 00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:17,840 Speaker 1: helped them get to that big league and then now 466 00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:19,800 Speaker 1: the Patriots have to play catchup. If you're the New 467 00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:22,280 Speaker 1: England Patriots, you don't want to play catch up with 468 00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:25,239 Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. Look Stefan Diggs as first of all, 469 00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:27,119 Speaker 1: he's one of my young Pups of the year, Young 470 00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:29,240 Speaker 1: Pups of the week long time ago when he first 471 00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:31,760 Speaker 1: got drafted the Minnesota and all he's done is continue 472 00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:33,520 Speaker 1: to get better and better throughout this year. He didn't 473 00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:35,680 Speaker 1: have the same status he did last year, but he's 474 00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:38,520 Speaker 1: seeing double triple coverage. As long as it's not fifty 475 00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:41,040 Speaker 1: sixty mile in our wins, Buffalo Bills will be tough 476 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:42,800 Speaker 1: to stop there up there, up there in Buffalo. The 477 00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:45,440 Speaker 1: first time they played, psychologically, obviously there was effects. You 478 00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:46,960 Speaker 1: don't think any of that matters because they won the 479 00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,320 Speaker 1: second time. Yeah, that's out, that's out the window. Because 480 00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:51,800 Speaker 1: as players, we try to make excuses in our brain, 481 00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:54,520 Speaker 1: like what we lost because we couldn't like run our office, 482 00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:56,560 Speaker 1: we couldn't be who we wanted to be. The second 483 00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:59,440 Speaker 1: time it was there wasn't no wind. It was completely fine. 484 00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:01,240 Speaker 1: You win the five borrow and you won handily. You 485 00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:03,320 Speaker 1: went out, you got after him, so now you're gonna 486 00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:04,760 Speaker 1: get back, get a chance to get him back at home. 487 00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:07,840 Speaker 1: Alan says he wants a twelve round slug fest with 488 00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:10,600 Speaker 1: the Patriot. I wouldn't want that. If I'm the Bills, 489 00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:13,119 Speaker 1: I would put them away early and do everything you 490 00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:15,639 Speaker 1: can in a knockout so that it doesn't get weird 491 00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:18,120 Speaker 1: at the end. Because Belichick has been in these situations. 492 00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:20,959 Speaker 1: That defense has guys who have been there and done that. 493 00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:23,160 Speaker 1: And I just look at what the Bills have done 494 00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:25,280 Speaker 1: this season. They've lost some weird ones. We know they 495 00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:27,320 Speaker 1: lost to the Jaguars. We know they lost to that game. 496 00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:32,520 Speaker 1: When they win, they blow teams out. They've won every 497 00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:37,760 Speaker 1: game this season by double digits. Yeah, that's the Bills. Wow, 498 00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:42,320 Speaker 1: we're gonna punish you. It's not for chat round by round. No, 499 00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:44,560 Speaker 1: I don't want to hear twelve round slug I would 500 00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:47,480 Speaker 1: hear first round knockout. Stop the fight, stop the fight, 501 00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:50,720 Speaker 1: bro the towel, Micky, where are you? That is what 502 00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:52,840 Speaker 1: the Bills need to do here. And if if it's 503 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:56,320 Speaker 1: getting towards eleven o'clock at night and it's thirteen thirteen, 504 00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:59,639 Speaker 1: and Belichick has got the punt unit on and I 505 00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:02,520 Speaker 1: don't like that. That's not been suitable for the Bills 506 00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:05,000 Speaker 1: this season. What's been suitable is Josh Allen using his 507 00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:07,919 Speaker 1: legs and getting first downs. And there's been Stefon Diggs 508 00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:10,520 Speaker 1: talking trash on the sidelines and telling this New England 509 00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:14,440 Speaker 1: crowd on that play. I know the last New England 510 00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:16,679 Speaker 1: game was close and the score might everything because they 511 00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:18,959 Speaker 1: had to make some key conversions. But on the season, 512 00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:22,880 Speaker 1: when Buffalo is rolling, they bow the heck out of teams, 513 00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:25,000 Speaker 1: and that's what they should be looking to do early 514 00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:28,119 Speaker 1: and often, and do not have this one come till midnight, 515 00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:30,760 Speaker 1: because if that's the case, it didn't go according to plan. 516 00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:34,560 Speaker 1: Fun Buffalo, take this team, the Patriots that are inferior 517 00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:36,240 Speaker 1: to you and have been for the last two years, 518 00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:39,320 Speaker 1: and blow them out of your building and finally silence 519 00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:42,399 Speaker 1: the whispers that Belichick has mind games in mind control 520 00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:44,760 Speaker 1: over that place. I'm sure it's harder said than done, 521 00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:47,320 Speaker 1: I mean, or harder done than said rather, but we'll 522 00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:49,119 Speaker 1: see what they do. I will say I asked you 523 00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:50,840 Speaker 1: at the turning point, because I think it was around 524 00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:53,600 Speaker 1: then something switched. Allan started playing out of this world. 525 00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:57,000 Speaker 1: And I really you brought up Brian Dable earlier as 526 00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,159 Speaker 1: a candidate potentially for a head coaching gig. I like 527 00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:02,080 Speaker 1: that he had us. You can tell he like you know, 528 00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:04,880 Speaker 1: whether it's going to be an issue things. This isn't working, 529 00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:06,560 Speaker 1: this isn't gonna get who want to go, Let's find 530 00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:08,760 Speaker 1: the run game, Let's actually let's adjust and fix things. 531 00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:10,680 Speaker 1: He did that throughout this season, So I impact to 532 00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:13,160 Speaker 1: look at what changed from that loss to the Patriots 533 00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:15,320 Speaker 1: on Monday Night and how it went since then, and 534 00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:17,720 Speaker 1: the difference maker. The key to me is Devin Singletarry. 535 00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:20,080 Speaker 1: It's finding a guy who can get it done. Five 536 00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:22,160 Speaker 1: games since that Monday Night game, the Bills are four 537 00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:25,440 Speaker 1: and one. Not a coincidence that Singletarry's averaged nearly eight 538 00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:27,200 Speaker 1: more touches a game than he did over the first 539 00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:30,639 Speaker 1: thirteen weeks because he doubled his yard enginearly. He has 540 00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:33,600 Speaker 1: scored six touchdowns and he's been on fire. And I 541 00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:35,959 Speaker 1: think the team's at its best when it's not putting 542 00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:39,840 Speaker 1: everything on Josh Allen and his arm, especially when it's 543 00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:42,399 Speaker 1: frigid out there, so giving him that support, it's like 544 00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:45,000 Speaker 1: we finally reason realize that playing in Buffalo in those 545 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:48,159 Speaker 1: conditions is probably not going to happen successfully unless we 546 00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:49,840 Speaker 1: run the ball and I just like credit dayble and 547 00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:52,760 Speaker 1: obviously Singletarry for step or not. Yeah, for sure. There's 548 00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:55,119 Speaker 1: some in the Bills media who, after three months of 549 00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:58,560 Speaker 1: trying to get the run game going, we're saying, screw it. 550 00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:00,200 Speaker 1: Never mind the run game. Let's just go to Josh 551 00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:02,440 Speaker 1: never throw fifty sixty times a game. He's our best player. 552 00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:05,600 Speaker 1: Never mind McDermott. And there was a norno We're gonna 553 00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:07,840 Speaker 1: do this thing, I promise, and we're like, are you 554 00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:09,680 Speaker 1: We've been waiting for this one. I don't know why 555 00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:11,240 Speaker 1: they weren't. I don't know why they weren't. I don't 556 00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:15,960 Speaker 1: know what was happening. As always, we like to give 557 00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:19,360 Speaker 1: love and close the chapter to the fantasy season. That 558 00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:23,040 Speaker 1: was the longest fantasy season ever, so we thought today 559 00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:24,639 Speaker 1: would be a good time to do that. Had a 560 00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:27,920 Speaker 1: supervild card weekend. There are some good moments and bad 561 00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:31,560 Speaker 1: moments and surprising moments.

It'll kicks off with Super wild 651 00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:59,200 Speaker 1: Card Weekend actually getting started Saturday Doublehead or Sunday TripleHead 652 00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:01,760 Speaker 1: or oh boy, and then for the first time ever, 653 00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:06,680 Speaker 1: a wild Card Monday, three days, six games, one epic weekend. 654 00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:09,040 Speaker 1: The road to Super Bowl fifty six starts right here, 655 00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:13,560 Speaker 1: Super wild Card Weekend. Welcome to a super show here 656 00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:16,400 Speaker 1: on Good Morning Football. We are in New York. It's 657 00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:19,480 Speaker 1: a beautiful day. We've got another graph FICTI another day 658 00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:22,080 Speaker 1: for m J D. Pete or schreg or Kyle Brandt. 659 00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:24,000 Speaker 1: I gotta talk a little Brady. We haven't talk any 660 00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:26,960 Speaker 1: Brady to day too, So let's time, really look, let's 661 00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:28,520 Speaker 1: do it. Let's take a look. There's a full slate 662 00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:31,400 Speaker 1: of games. NFC side of things of this Super wild 663 00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:35,480 Speaker 1: Card weekend is Sunday Eagles Tampa, Tom Brady and the 664 00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:39,240 Speaker 1: defending champion Bucks, Niners Cowboys in Jerry World. Monday night, 665 00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:43,480 Speaker 1: it's Cardinals Rams at SOFI. And the reason the NFC 666 00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:45,760 Speaker 1: side looks the way it does has a lot to 667 00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:49,320 Speaker 1: do with San Francisco, who came back from that seventeen 668 00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:53,920 Speaker 1: point deficit to the Rams on Sunday end of regulation. Oh, Jimmy, 669 00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:58,400 Speaker 1: Jimmy Garops dropped or drove downfield, didn't drop anything. He 670 00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:01,920 Speaker 1: hit Juwan Jennings for retine yard touchdown to force overtime. 671 00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:04,400 Speaker 1: Ambry Thomas a rookie, I do believe, right, Yeah, to 672 00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:08,720 Speaker 1: Michigan rookie feeling the win by picking off Matthew Stafford 673 00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:12,160 Speaker 1: and sending San Francisco to the playoffs. And that really 674 00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:15,720 Speaker 1: ripple effected the entire NFC side of things. So does 675 00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:20,400 Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo's a Week eighteen performance impact the niners chances 676 00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:22,480 Speaker 1: in the playoffs? Are you looking at any different? Yeah, 677 00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:25,240 Speaker 1: looking at them completely different. They've got a dog at quarterback, 678 00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:27,840 Speaker 1: and going into this game, it was Garoppolo's always good 679 00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:30,480 Speaker 1: when he's healthy and he's available, but he's rarely healthy 680 00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:32,320 Speaker 1: and available. So it's like, I don't know what to 681 00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:34,480 Speaker 1: make of this guy. Well, he wasn't healthy. He was 682 00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:37,720 Speaker 1: playing with an invulsion fracture in his hand, and he 683 00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:39,920 Speaker 1: played anyway, and he took every snap and when they 684 00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:42,760 Speaker 1: need him most, Jimmy Garoppolo said, let's go. I think 685 00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:45,080 Speaker 1: it extends beyond this playoff here, Like I'm looking at 686 00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:47,040 Speaker 1: the forty nine ers going into Dallas and I'm like, yeah, 687 00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:48,320 Speaker 1: I think they could hit that game. I think they 688 00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:50,120 Speaker 1: can win that game because of what they've got going on, 689 00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:51,920 Speaker 1: because of Jimmy. But then I look at the offseason, 690 00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:54,280 Speaker 1: and no point in those two starts did I look 691 00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:56,560 Speaker 1: at Trey Lance and be like, Okay, let's go, let's 692 00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:58,440 Speaker 1: start the Trey lands here. I still think he might 693 00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:01,200 Speaker 1: be a year away. And if Jimmy wins this game, 694 00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:03,960 Speaker 1: and who knows wins the next game, and then God 695 00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:07,200 Speaker 1: if he wins another two games, you're gonna tell Jimmy 696 00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:09,280 Speaker 1: Garoppolo that, hey, you know, we trained a couple of 697 00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:11,920 Speaker 1: draft picks and we gotta go with this guy. Like, 698 00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:13,880 Speaker 1: I don't think it's a slam dunk that Jimmy's days 699 00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:15,520 Speaker 1: are done in San Francisco. I wonder how far he 700 00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:17,720 Speaker 1: has to go. Would a wildcard run win in Dallas 701 00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:20,360 Speaker 1: be like, you're our guy enough? It might be enough. 702 00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:22,760 Speaker 1: He's still young, and he's still the guy when they 703 00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:25,080 Speaker 1: need him most. He has played well in big moments 704 00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:27,400 Speaker 1: for this team, and gosh, I don't know how far 705 00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:29,400 Speaker 1: I'm picking the Niners to go, but here we are 706 00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:31,720 Speaker 1: on Wednesday. I would not be the slightest bit surprised 707 00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:34,800 Speaker 1: if they beat the Cowboys, who are heavily favored and 708 00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:37,200 Speaker 1: at home, and we're the NFC's champions, just because of 709 00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:39,600 Speaker 1: how well Jimmy Garoppolo is leading this team and how 710 00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:41,480 Speaker 1: good the rest is surrounding pieces. It's not just about 711 00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:43,880 Speaker 1: Jimmy's future in San Francisco. They want to walk away, 712 00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:45,560 Speaker 1: They wanted to give it to tree Land Spine, but 713 00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:47,840 Speaker 1: he's playing for his career. That's this is about the 714 00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:50,200 Speaker 1: future outside of that he's putting a demo reel in 715 00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:53,000 Speaker 1: Jerry World this weekend. I think the biggest thing that 716 00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:54,680 Speaker 1: you could take away is when he doesn't turn the 717 00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:56,880 Speaker 1: ball over, they're undefeated, and then when he turns it over, 718 00:33:56,920 --> 00:33:59,040 Speaker 1: I think they're two and six. He turned the ball 719 00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:01,320 Speaker 1: over against the Ms and still found a way to win, 720 00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:03,520 Speaker 1: and that, to me is what's important. That he could 721 00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:05,520 Speaker 1: bounce back from those turnovers, that they could bounce back 722 00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:07,680 Speaker 1: from the turnovers. You gotta think of this, Okay, if 723 00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:09,640 Speaker 1: he could throw the ball like he threw against the Rams, 724 00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:12,319 Speaker 1: which I have to relive this again after yesterday and 725 00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:15,840 Speaker 1: watching it on the Sunday, But it's okay. Their running 726 00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:18,600 Speaker 1: game is better that it's gonna be. That has been right. 727 00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:20,399 Speaker 1: They can run the ball with Elijah Mitchell or Deebo 728 00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:24,120 Speaker 1: Samuel or Wilson or whoever they want. And now you 729 00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:27,359 Speaker 1: have to play action pass, which now hurts you. Right, 730 00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:29,880 Speaker 1: because he's been accurate, he can make these plays. To me, 731 00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:33,520 Speaker 1: it's it's a no brainer that the better he plays, 732 00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:36,359 Speaker 1: the further the Niners go. And Kyle, we were talking 733 00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:38,560 Speaker 1: about the New said where he Mostard is one of 734 00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:41,080 Speaker 1: the top running backs that made a run in the playoffs. 735 00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:43,520 Speaker 1: Because he rushed for two hundred yards an MCY championship 736 00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:45,760 Speaker 1: game and he only threw the ball eight times. That's fine. 737 00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:47,920 Speaker 1: That's not the Jimmy Garoppolo we're seeing now. And I 738 00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:50,319 Speaker 1: hate to praise the Niners, because I have some friends 739 00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:53,279 Speaker 1: in the Niners and they're relentless and they're annoying. But 740 00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:55,520 Speaker 1: I've said this before and I'll say it here. No 741 00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:57,600 Speaker 1: one wants to play the Semisco forty nine ers in 742 00:34:57,640 --> 00:34:59,719 Speaker 1: this playoff. Not a team if you look at what 743 00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:01,520 Speaker 1: they did the Packers, if you look at when they 744 00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:03,759 Speaker 1: play these teams, like they've beaten up on everybody, and 745 00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:05,520 Speaker 1: they've been in close games with all these top teams. 746 00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:07,359 Speaker 1: I don't think anyone wants to play him. I'm with you, 747 00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:09,640 Speaker 1: and I just don't think that has anything to do 748 00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:12,919 Speaker 1: with Jimmy. There's a burden we have here. We really 749 00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:15,600 Speaker 1: enjoy embracing being positive about players. We also have another 750 00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:17,319 Speaker 1: burden of trying to say what the fans at home 751 00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:19,520 Speaker 1: are thinking, is they watch and no one's afraid of 752 00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:22,080 Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo. Peter, I hear what you're saying. I don't 753 00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:24,200 Speaker 1: think this is a stud I don't think this is 754 00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:26,960 Speaker 1: a star. If they have to rely on Jimmy Garoppolo 755 00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:28,920 Speaker 1: to beat the Cowboys, I think they're screwed. Yeah, it's 756 00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:30,560 Speaker 1: just not what they do. Like if he's gonna have 757 00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:32,799 Speaker 1: to go back and forth with Dak, I hate that. 758 00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:35,280 Speaker 1: We love what he did and against the Rams and overtime, 759 00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:36,720 Speaker 1: and like the only reason they were in that position 760 00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:37,920 Speaker 1: is because he throw a really bad and pick to 761 00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:39,799 Speaker 1: Ramsey on that. I mean, like that was kind of 762 00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:42,320 Speaker 1: on him. I love Jimmy. He is tough, he is 763 00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:44,839 Speaker 1: a good citizen, a good teammate, all that, But if 764 00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:46,839 Speaker 1: it comes down to Jimmy Garoppolo, Guys, there's some really 765 00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:49,160 Speaker 1: good quarterbacks in the NFC, and I don't think that 766 00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:51,439 Speaker 1: he is. They're equal. This is gonna have to be 767 00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:55,160 Speaker 1: the boasted deal and a lot of the debot deal. 768 00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:57,719 Speaker 1: And he has done some things in the postseason. He 769 00:35:57,760 --> 00:36:00,279 Speaker 1: did beat Kirk Cousins in a playoff game, and he 770 00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:02,200 Speaker 1: did throw a few passes like that's all part of 771 00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:04,960 Speaker 1: the Jimmy Garoppolo experience. That's why we're in this conversation 772 00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:07,439 Speaker 1: to begin with. I like Jimmy as well. My take 773 00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:09,640 Speaker 1: on Jimmy is that if it comes down to him 774 00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:11,960 Speaker 1: in the postseason, I think the Niners will probably be 775 00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:14,080 Speaker 1: exiting because I don't think that they're built for him 776 00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:16,000 Speaker 1: to be their star, and I think that he is 777 00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:18,680 Speaker 1: one of the more limited quarterbacks in the entire playoff field. 778 00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:22,080 Speaker 1: The fear is well fourteen nothing Dallas first quarter, Jimmy, 779 00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:24,320 Speaker 1: we can't just hand out it. That's the fear, and 780 00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:26,560 Speaker 1: they're not built. When I kept the Niners, they get 781 00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:28,480 Speaker 1: out early, they get in front of it, and they 782 00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:30,160 Speaker 1: run the ball, and that's what they do. I think 783 00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:33,400 Speaker 1: the Week eighteen performance changed what I saw on this 784 00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:35,799 Speaker 1: team a little bit because it I think they don't 785 00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:38,000 Speaker 1: need to do that. It was proven that they can 786 00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:41,040 Speaker 1: be multidimensional and that makes them more dangerous. So that's 787 00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:43,799 Speaker 1: how I apply what I saw from Jimmy Garoppolo and 788 00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:46,239 Speaker 1: that momentum and confidence building, and I apply it to this. 789 00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:49,880 Speaker 1: But I'm with you. This Cowboys defense. The balls in 790 00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:53,279 Speaker 1: the air, and they're so opportunistic, they're gonna go grab it. 791 00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:55,680 Speaker 1: Quinn's gonna have them ready. They've got studs. The balls 792 00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:57,799 Speaker 1: flying into the hands of Treyvon Diggs. So as much 793 00:36:57,840 --> 00:36:59,480 Speaker 1: as I like Jimmy and I think he can do it. 794 00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:02,360 Speaker 1: Tregs a MGD. I would like to see a little keepaway, 795 00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:06,000 Speaker 1: little TP action, keep the ball and don't put it 796 00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:08,080 Speaker 1: in the air as much. I really see them running it, 797 00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:09,680 Speaker 1: but I think it's more of a team game. They're 798 00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:13,080 Speaker 1: a team. It's not no Dak and the receivers. It's 799 00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:16,200 Speaker 1: not Aaron Rodgers and DeVante Adams, just as sanbra School 800 00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:19,239 Speaker 1: forodinized as a unit. Yeah, and that's what's scary, right, 801 00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:22,040 Speaker 1: because they were down seventeen and they called their way back, 802 00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:25,720 Speaker 1: running the ball and playing great defense. And that's what's scary. 803 00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:28,200 Speaker 1: It's not just one guy you have to stop. It's 804 00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:31,200 Speaker 1: twenty two guys on both sides of the ball and 805 00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:33,800 Speaker 1: special teams making plays. And that's what makes it nervous. 806 00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:35,399 Speaker 1: That's what makes you nervous about these type of teams 807 00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:37,200 Speaker 1: they get in the playoffs. As we said it all week, 808 00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:38,799 Speaker 1: we'll say it again. We've got two more days. Like 809 00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:42,000 Speaker 1: the chess match between Kyle Shanahan and Dan Quinn is 810 00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:45,120 Speaker 1: going to be fascinating because these two men coached together 811 00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:46,760 Speaker 1: in Atlanta. I went to a super Bowl in Atlanta, 812 00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:48,840 Speaker 1: came up short in the twenty eighty three game together. 813 00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:52,120 Speaker 1: I think they're both viewed as really good XS and 814 00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:54,880 Speaker 1: OWS coach and really good hype guys for their players. 815 00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:57,719 Speaker 1: I'm curious if Kyle can get Jimmy to say, hey, 816 00:37:57,800 --> 00:37:59,319 Speaker 1: we got to win this game, and if Jimmy can 817 00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:00,880 Speaker 1: bring it. I think at some point he's gonna have 818 00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:03,200 Speaker 1: to make a throw. If Jimmy throws it, Jiggs is 819 00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:05,839 Speaker 1: going to intercept it the highly Do you feel that way? 820 00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:07,160 Speaker 1: I can just see it. How I just if you 821 00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:08,880 Speaker 1: have to throw it a lot if it is fourteen, 822 00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:11,680 Speaker 1: I'm just worried when Dak or when Rogers drops back 823 00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:13,239 Speaker 1: to pass, You're just like, oh, here we go. When 824 00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:15,719 Speaker 1: Jimmy is like, you get a little pense. You don't 825 00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:17,359 Speaker 1: know what's going to happen. And it's I mean, it's 826 00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:19,080 Speaker 1: not just the Diggs. Is that the Parsons thing is 827 00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:21,440 Speaker 1: a maniac at I hope that they it's run left, 828 00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:23,239 Speaker 1: run right for the Niners this week and put that way. 829 00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:25,000 Speaker 1: But we have some cool news of the past hour. 830 00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:27,120 Speaker 1: So I've learned a lot about NFTs and for the 831 00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:29,719 Speaker 1: first time ever during the regular season, the NFL began 832 00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:35,080 Speaker 1: releasing virtual commemorative tickets in the form of NFTs non 833 00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:38,360 Speaker 1: fungible tokens.
