Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.

2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:08,360
Speaker 2: Welcome to Fox Football Saturday. I'm Alex Curry here with

Speaker 2: Tracy Sandler, who's in for Carmen today. So thank you

4
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:15,680
Speaker 2: for spending your Saturday afternoon with us. I just got

5
00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:17,560
Speaker 2: to take a moment right off the top here to say,

6
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:20,800
Speaker 2: what a fight night we got in Dallas yest night.

7
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:24,920
Speaker 2: I think I had every emotion throughout the entire evening.

8
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 2: The first two fights were incredible. The Ramos versus Barios

9
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 2: ended in the draw, and the respect they had for

10
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 2: each other was just so like Chef's kiss. And then

11
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 2: the Tailor Serrano fight was so impressive. These women like

12
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:42,720
Speaker 2: that was history, that was legendary. We're going to dive

13
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:45,600
Speaker 2: into the whole situation, the whole night a little later,

14
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 2: especially the main event Mike Tyson and Jake Paul and

15
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 2: you know, they got everyone to watch. They broke They

16
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 2: broke Netflix. Was it a good fight, absolutely not.

17
00:00:58,600 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 3: Was it hard to watch? Yep?

18
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 2: It was like watching an out of shape dad fight

19
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 2: his son in his prime.

20
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 3: But there was respect there between the two. And you

21
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 3: know what they did it? Hey did it.

22
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:13,040
Speaker 2: They knew what they were doing. They both walked away

23
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 2: with the bag and it is what it is.

24
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 4: We all watched it was as a kid, say cinema.

25
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:21,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, it was like the perfect like social media. Yes,

26
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:25,479
Speaker 2: memes were going off last night, which I uh, keep

Speaker 2: them comming.

28
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 3: Man. That was the real fight was between Netflix and

29
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 3: their connection. That was everything. We're gonna get into that

30

Speaker 2: forty nine Ers football is a big one for you.

53
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 5: It is, but that I wouldn't say it's the matchup.

54

Speaker 2: Updated on all the college football action as it goes

65
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 2: down today. But we're gonna start in the NFL with

66
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 2: a fun little segment called the Good, the Bad, the.

67
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,359
Speaker 3: Weird, and the rad I love it.

68
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 2: And we're gonna start in the NFC, and as always,

69
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 2: I like to start on a good note, so we're

70
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 2: gonna start with the good. And the good right now

71
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 2: are the forty nine ers. They are almost back to

72
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 2: full strength after getting Christian McCaffrey back last week.

73
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:44,839
Speaker 3: You look good they did. They eased him in for him.

74
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, thirteen carries for thirty nine yards, six

75
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 2: catches for sixty eight yards, but he had over one

76
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 2: hundred scrimmage yards in his first game back. And when

77
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 2: you think about it, he didn't have a preseason, No,

78
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 2: he did not. And he started practicing just a couple

79
00:03:58,040 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 2: of weeks ago, and before that he hadn't practiced for

80
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 2: all almost two months. And you know, heading into the season,

81
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 2: the forty nine ers were favored in every game.

82
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 4: Yes this year, yes they were.

83
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 2: And obviously they were plagued by injuries and this year

84
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 2: has not gone as planned so far. That's but the

85
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 2: good news is the NFC West is so close and

86
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:21,160
Speaker 2: all within a.

87
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,480
Speaker 3: Couple games and everything's winnable.

88
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 2: So take us into the in the locker room and

89
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 2: the day to day vibe around this.

90
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 3: Team, because it feels like Okay, we had.

91
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,479
Speaker 2: We made it through like the hardest part of losing

92
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 2: all of our main guys and now they're on the

93
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:40,479
Speaker 2: up and up and it's starting to feel good.

94
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 5: It definitely is, And having Christian McCaffrey back was definitely

95
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,360
Speaker 5: a huge boose for the team. For the offense, all

96
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:50,480
Speaker 5: of the things they're still missing, such a key piece

97
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:54,279
Speaker 5: in Drake Greenlaw on defense, and it's affecting them for

98
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 5: tomorrow's game. George Kittle, Trent Williams, and Nick Bosa are

99
00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:58,480
Speaker 5: all questionable to play.

100
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 3: Ohs okay, so they're not.

101
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 4: Dealing with hurty close.

102
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:05,840
Speaker 3: They're not there yet.

103
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:07,840
Speaker 5: And this is the thing with the NFL, because it's

104
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:09,480
Speaker 5: like as soon as you're like, oh, we're getting our

105
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 5: guys back, yeah, then you have other guys.

106
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:13,279
Speaker 4: So we'll see.

107
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 5: I mean, I would imagine those three guys if they

108
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 5: can play, ye, they will absolutely play. They were just

109
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:22,599
Speaker 5: so lucky last year with the injury bug. But it

110
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 5: is definitely a boost to have Christian back. There is

111
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:26,920
Speaker 5: no doubt about it. You see the difference he makes

112
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 5: on the field. Just his presence makes a huge difference

113
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 5: on the field. But they're going into a tough stretch.

114
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,920
Speaker 5: They have the Seatocks at home tomorrow, then at Green

115
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 5: Bay at Buffalo, and then at home against the Bears, So.

116
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 2: Which look right now, that's looking like it should be

117
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 2: an easy one. But who knows, Like maybe Caleb like

118
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 2: figures it out by then They're kind of a dumpster

119
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 2: fire over there.

120
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 3: In Chicago right now. But anything can happen in a month.

121
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 4: Anything can.

122
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 5: And then four days later Thursday Night Football against the Rams,

123
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:55,600
Speaker 5: who they should have beaten and already had not been.

124
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,159
Speaker 4: So it's a tough stretch they have ahead of them.

125
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 5: That being said Kyle Shanahan Tea, Yeah, they play very

126
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,039
Speaker 5: well in November and December. As you said, this division

127
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 5: is very close. It's extremely winnable, like so.

128
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 2: One to two games to like move up top to

129
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:13,039
Speaker 2: bottom for everybody.

130
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 4: But they can't lose any more division games.

131
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 3: Oh no, they can't. So they have to win against Seattle.

132
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 4: They have to win against Seattle.

133
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 5: They got to beat the Rims in like a month,

134
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:22,159
Speaker 5: and then they have to beat the Cardinals to end

135
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,239
Speaker 5: the season. I mean, that's what's crazy about that game

136
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 5: is it's the last their last game of the season

137
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 5: and it could be for the division. Yeah, which no

138
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:29,719
Speaker 5: one thought that going to the season.

139
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 3: No, absolutely not.

140
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:34,840
Speaker 2: So you think McCaffrey can save the Niner season solely

141
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 2: on kind of the vibe and the energy that he

142
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:37,720
Speaker 2: brings to the team.

143
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 5: I do not think he can save the season. I

144
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 5: think he can. He helps dramatically. I do think that

145
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 5: he helps dramatically, But I think that the issues they're

146
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 5: dealing with go beyond McCaffrey.

147
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:53,280
Speaker 3: So, I like, injury wise, or is there like vibe

148
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 3: is shy.

149
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 5: I think injury wise and just playing wise, I mean

150
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 5: execution wise, they're having trouble finishing games.

151
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:01,280
Speaker 4: They play really.

152
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:04,479
Speaker 5: Well for three quarters and fortunately it's a four quarter situation. Huh,

153
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 5: it was a three If this was hockey killing, it done,

154
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 5: going to the supermot, you're going to Stanley Cup winners.

155
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 5: But I think those are kind of issues, you know,

156
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 5: execution on offense, having trouble defending I'm sorry, execution on defense,

157
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 5: having trouble defending the run. Christian Well makes a huge

158
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 5: difference on offense, but there are just other issues. So

159
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 5: I don't think he can save it, but I think

160
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 5: he can do a heck of a lot to help it.

161
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 3: That's fair.

162
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 2: I mean, they got away with the win last week

163
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 2: against the Bucks. It was a little closer than everyone expected.

164
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 2: And this leads into my weird moment. Yes, and that

165
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 2: was Deebo's argument with his teammate after missing three field goals.

166
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 2: So take us like what happened, Like, what was the

167
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 2: conversation after the game? What Obviously there was frustration, cause

168
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 2: like that could have been the game mm hmm, and it.

169
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 5: Was he ended up and he ended up Jake we'd

170
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 5: end up kicking the game winning field golf y.

171
00:07:58,040 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 6: You know.

172
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 5: The conversation after the game, per Debo at everyone was

173
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 5: that he was basically kind of firing Jake up lock

174
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 5: in and that Tabor Pepper didn't feel like that's what

175
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 5: he was saying, so he stepped in and then four

176
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 5: Deebo pushed him, which he definitely should not have done,

177
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 5: and then pushing him, he kind of hit Jake, which

178
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 5: was not intentional.

179
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 4: The thing with it.

180
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 3: Is just dramatic.

181
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 5: It was, it was very dramatic. And then Jake Mudy

182
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 5: goes out kicks the game winning field goal. Yeah, that

183
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 5: was very exciting for them and go blue, But it

184
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 5: just it is weird. Yeah, I think generally when players

185
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 5: start fighting on the sideline with themselves and each.

186
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:40,720
Speaker 3: Other do that behind closed doors, like you's a bit

187
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:41,560
Speaker 3: in the locker room.

188
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:46,679
Speaker 5: And it's a little different than Kyle Shanahan likened it too.

189
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 5: If he's going up to an offensive player being like, okay,

190
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:52,080
Speaker 5: lock in, you got this whatever, it's a little different

191
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,560
Speaker 5: with a kicker. And the other thing is you can't

192
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 5: like Jake didn't want to miss the field goals. It's

193
00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 5: all like And the other thing is my saying it.

194
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:02,320
Speaker 5: It is one hundred percent shake news responsibility to make

195
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:04,719
Speaker 5: those field goals. There's no reason what you're getting paid for,

196
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:06,679
Speaker 5: what is what he is age job, no reason you

197
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 5: should miss them. That being said this foran Air's team

198
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:11,840
Speaker 5: has so much troubles in the red zone.

199
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 4: The field goals were fifty yard field goals forty.

200
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 5: Nine and forty four. So it's not even like I'm

201
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 5: not saying he shouldn't make them. He absolutely should. But

202
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 5: that speaks to the red zone issues and the issues

203
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,079
Speaker 5: they're still having on offense. Because if I were them

204
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 5: and I know they would have it this, it'd be like,

205
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 5: then score a touchdown, Yeah, I don't have to.

206
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 4: Get the field goal.

207
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:33,560
Speaker 5: I mean, Deebo's had one touchdown this season, so I'm

208
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:35,679
Speaker 5: not taking anything away from his talent all of that.

209
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 4: I'm just saying it's not it's not a good look.

210
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:43,080
Speaker 5: And I don't think Debo was coming over to be

211
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 5: like what is wrong with you?

212
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 4: But kickers are different. It's just a different the energy.

213
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 4: You're in your own world.

214
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 3: You're not like, it's not like a team.

215
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:55,200
Speaker 2: I mean, obviously, if like the hole isn't right, in

216
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 2: the snap isn't right, then it's like not your fault.

217
00:09:57,760 --> 00:09:59,679
Speaker 5: But everything else it's all on you. It is, it's

218
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:02,199
Speaker 5: all you, all on you. An Jiguity was coming back

219
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:05,200
Speaker 5: from an ankle injury. He had not played three games

220
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 5: four weeks.

221
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 3: Yeah he was, but it was a lot.

222
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:08,680
Speaker 4: All's well, that ends well.

223
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 5: However, I don't think it's great for them to start

224
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:13,439
Speaker 5: happening on the sideline.

225
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 4: So it was weird.

226
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 2: It was weird, and it also like it's been a

227
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 2: frustrating year, and when it's been a frustrating year, unfortunately

228
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 2: that kind of like spewze out into the game.

229
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 3: It does, and that's what we saw.

230
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 2: Yes, they got away with the win, so let's move

231
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:34,679
Speaker 2: on to the rad And if you're just tuning in

232
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 2: we're doing a segment called the Good, the Bad, the Weird,

233
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 2: and the rad and we are now on the rad

234
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:43,200
Speaker 2: and I think the Eagles seguon Barkley is looking like

235
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 2: the best addition they could have made to their team.

236
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 2: And that's rad is. He is over a thousand rushing yards.

237
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 2: He's first in rushing yards.

238
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 4: Great, well, he hasn't even played yet. Weekly Oh yes

239
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 4: he did? You have it? A thousand rushing yards.

240
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, yeah, no, tied for third in rushing touchdown.

241
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 2: I have them as my MVP favorite right now. It's

242
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 2: kind of obviously not connecting him and Henry, but they've

243
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 2: played the same amount of games, so.

244
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:10,200
Speaker 3: I don't think they've had their buy it. It's something.

245
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:12,320
Speaker 2: It's something like that, where like they have the same

246
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 2: amount of games. He is first in rushing yards. They

247
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 2: both have over a thousand rushing yards, I think. But

248
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 2: it's just after the win Thursday night, huge win over

249
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 2: the Commanders, it's looking like the Eagles are back after

250
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 2: that weird year.

251
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 4: Last year they would have been in the weird.

252
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:30,440
Speaker 3: They would have been in the weird.

253
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 2: They're currently on a six game win streak and they

254
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:35,960
Speaker 2: can take the NFC East. I mean it's kind of

255
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 2: been between them and the Commanders. I had them before

256
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:42,080
Speaker 2: the season started, winning the NFC East with the Commanders

257
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 2: as like kind of my keep an eye on.

258
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 3: They're going to be really good and it could go

259
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:50,679
Speaker 3: either way. But the the NFC in general right now,

260
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 3: between the Lions eight and one, Eagles eight and two,

261
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:56,080
Speaker 3: Viking seven to two, Commanders seven and four, the fight

262
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 3: for the top is going to be a fun race.

263
00:11:58,440 --> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 3: It is.

264
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:00,839
Speaker 5: It is going to be a very fund race. And

265
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 5: you know, going back to the forty nine ers, they've

266
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:04,720
Speaker 5: dug themselves and a hold there. He did that race

267
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:06,440
Speaker 5: are there? And I don't think they picked.

268
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 2: Them at the Super Bowl, So jokes on me, I

269
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 2: think jokes on everybody.

270
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:11,559
Speaker 3: They were favored in every game.

271
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 4: It's here and things and and things happened.

272
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 5: But back to the Eagles, I don't know how the

273
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 5: Giants let this happen.

274
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:19,200
Speaker 4: How they let's take one go to the ORF.

275
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 2: They wanted, he wanted to be in New York for life,

276
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 2: and they how do you not have enough money to

277
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 2: pay your best player?

278
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 5: And then they let them back to their division rival,

279
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:34,080
Speaker 5: which is It's just it's mind boggling le's kiss to me.

280
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 5: But the Eagles definitely look legit.

281
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, they look like they're back.

282
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 5: Whatever issues they had, and they had plenty of weird

283
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 5: last year.

284
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:45,679
Speaker 2: Oh yeah eighteen and herts had like there was like

285
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:50,959
Speaker 2: rumors they were having issues like communication getting along wise, But.

286
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 4: They look good there.

287
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, it looks like they're back. And that's rad.

288
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 4: That's rad.

289
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 5: And something tells me that one of the people sitting

290
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 5: here is going to have to go to Philadelphia in January.

291
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 4: To cover a playoff game.

292
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 3: And I love that. Now we're going to move to

293
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:08,840
Speaker 3: the bad you guys, dub Bears.

294
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 4: The bad News Bears, the bad News, Yes.

295
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 3: Even better. They fired their OC this week.

296
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 2: And I think the hard part about this whole situation

297
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:20,680
Speaker 2: is there was so much hype around Caleb Williams that

298
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 2: he was a generational talent, that he was going to

299
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:26,440
Speaker 2: save the franchise. But he's looking like a rookie and

300
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:29,960
Speaker 2: that's normal for young quarterbacks. Obviously, we've seen the outliers

301
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,840
Speaker 2: the last few seasons with c J. Stroud and Jade

302
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 2: and Daniels this year, but Caleb doesn't have great protection

303
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:40,560
Speaker 2: from his O line. He's taking an NFL wors thirty

304
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 2: eight sacks, so that means not protection. But he's also

305
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 2: holding onto the ball for too long, which was one

306
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 2: of his strengths in college. He could run around figure

307
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 2: out what play you wanted to make. However, that's not

308
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:54,840
Speaker 2: translating the same to the NFL.

309
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 3: Guys are faster, guys are stronger, They're getting to you.

310
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 3: You gotta like, ah, you gotta let it go. Like

311
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 3: he is on pace to finish the season with seventy

312
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 3: two sacks, that would be the second most all time

313
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 3: for a rookie all time. Like, it's just it's just painful.

314
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:16,560
Speaker 3: I feel sad for him.

315
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 5: It is painful, and I think in fairness to him,

316
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 5: and maybe this is me being overlays. As you mentioned,

317
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 5: he has like no protection. I think we see Jaden

318
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 5: Daniels thriving, and that is very much Jaden Daniels. But

319
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 5: Jaden Daniels also has pieces around him to help him thrive.

320
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 4: And this is what the Bears.

321
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 5: They did this with Justin Fields and now they're doing

322
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 5: with Kayleb Williams.

323
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 4: You get these.

324
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 5: Quote unquote generational quarterbacks and then you throw them in

325
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 5: there like, well, we're not getting anything else though, so

326
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 5: good luck and I think that's kind of what we're seeing.

327
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 5: And he is a rookie, yeah, and rookies are good.

328
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 5: They call him rookie mistakes for a reason, and he

329
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 5: is gonna make mistakes. But I think, you know, it's

330
00:14:57,880 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 5: interesting because I remember being on the show with Carmen

331
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 5: the summer talking about it, and I was like, I

332
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 5: don't know about Jane Daniels.

333
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 4: He seems like kind of small.

334
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 5: I just I'm not I'm not sold, and I'm now

335
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 5: very sold on John Daniels.

336
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,600
Speaker 4: And I don't know with Kayleb Williams. But they need

337
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 4: to help him.

338
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 3: I mean, he needs help.

339
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 2: He needs help, honestly, though, I like it's he's gonna

340
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 2: have a completely different coaching staff next year. Yes, yeah,

341
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 2: so he's going to be starting from fresh He's just

342
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 2: got to make it through healthy, Yes, make it through healthy.

343
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 2: Through this season. It's gonna be brutal, and already has

344
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 2: been brutal. It's yeah. I mean, there were rumors that

345
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 2: they were discussing benching him after nine games. I guess

346
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 2: that was coming from the veterans requesting to kind of

347
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 2: give him a moment, But then Caleb said he feels

348
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 2: backed by his teammates. It just it's all weird vibes,

349
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 2: and honestly, I'm not sure what a mid season OC

350
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 2: change is going to do to help Caleb.

351
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 4: It's not really going to do anything.

352
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 5: And I don't think benching it is going to help

353
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 5: them unless you are fearful for his safety because he's

354
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 5: getting sack of many times. Benching him is just gonna

355
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 5: further mess with his confidence.

356
00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 4: Who who's their backup quarterback?

357
00:15:58,440 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 1: Dude?

358
00:15:58,600 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 3: Who is their backup?

359
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 4: I mean I think what I Tyson Invasion?

360
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 3: I think Tyson Beasion.

361
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 4: Of course obviously that says it all.

362
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 5: So if you bench him for mister Beajian, who I

363
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 5: have the utmost respect for, especially since I just learned

364
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 5: he existed. But I just I think if you bench

365
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 5: him for Tyson Beasion, like what is that going to

366
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 5: do for the team?

367
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 3: But you don't know.

368
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 5: I mean, I guess in fairness of Tyson since he

369
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 5: may come out and just be game guster, game busters.

370
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 5: But yeah, there are so many issues around there, and

371
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 5: you got it, just like we're talking about with kickers,

372
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:34,880
Speaker 5: young quarterbacks, you gotta be careful with and the confidence.

373
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 5: So you bench him now that it becomes I don't know.

374
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 5: It's tough, it's a mess.

375
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna sprinkle one more bad on this because

376
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 2: you know we can't leave them out.

377
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 4: The Cowboys, Oh God, so bad.

378
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 2: Dak is officially out for the season, having surgery on

379
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 2: his hamstring. It's a three month recovery, but he's choosing

380
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 2: the best long term option. Duh, because let's be honest, Cowboys,

381
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 2: your season is over. We even saw Dak on the

382
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 2: sideline saying to his teammates during the game against Falcons.

383
00:16:59,120 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 1: We.

384
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 2: And yeah, it's just a little bit of a dumpster

385
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 2: fire over there. So that was the good, the bad,

386
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 2: and weird and the rat for the NFC. We'll get

387
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:10,440
Speaker 2: to the AFC next hour. We're gonna take a quick

388
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 2: break here, but when we come back, it was fight

389
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 2: night in Dallas, but Mike Tyson and Jake Paul were

390
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 2: not the highlights. You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 2: with Tracy Sandler. We are broadcasting live from the tark

Speaker 2: dot Com Studios in Los Angeles. Thank you for spending

398
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 2: your Saturday afternoon with us. You guys, what a fight

399
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 2: night we got in Dallas last night. Mike Tyson versus

400
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 2: Jake Paul was supposed to be the highlight. But I mean,

401
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 2: everything about that matchup was so unhinged, starting with the

402
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:04,200
Speaker 2: way and slap to Mike Tyson's pre fight interview where

403
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 2: he thanked the reporter and then kissed the reporter and

404
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 2: then turned around and gave us like full.

405
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:14,880
Speaker 3: Booty cheeks like it was.

406
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:18,680
Speaker 2: It was so unhinged. I mean to the thirty one

407
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:23,320
Speaker 2: year age gap. Okay, that makes a lot more sense.

408
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:25,240
Speaker 3: Oh it was it was his son.

409
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:29,240
Speaker 2: Okay, that makes so much more sense. Thank you for that.

410
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 4: That makes me feel better.

411
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:34,160
Speaker 2: That makes so much There was so many things about that. Okay,

412
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:38,920
Speaker 2: let's let's roll it back here. The thirty one year

413
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:42,639
Speaker 2: age difference. Yes, it was so hard to watch. It

414
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:49,879
Speaker 2: felt like an out of shaped dad fighting a superfit son. Honestly,

415
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 2: I'm just happy we didn't see Mike Tyson get knocked

416
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 2: out like he's still and will always be a legend

417
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:02,719
Speaker 2: yesh and like that that's the part that I'm just like,

418
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:05,160
Speaker 2: I swear I was holding my breath the entire time,

419
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 2: just like, come on, no, don't what happened?

420
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 3: Come on?

421
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 2: Honestly, though, now that like I know that was his

422
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:13,360
Speaker 2: son interviewing him, I think the highlight of the night

423
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 2: was that pre fight interview where he kissed his son

424
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 2: on the cheek and then turned around and gave us

425
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:19,479
Speaker 2: full booty cheeks.

426
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:21,880
Speaker 3: It was completely unhinged. But like.

427
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 2: Broke the Internet, they broke Netflix last night. I literally

428
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:32,359
Speaker 2: the biggest fight was between the connection between Netflix and

429
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:35,239
Speaker 2: their connection. Yes, that was the hardest thing, but so

430
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:38,879
Speaker 2: many other things happened, and the first two fights were incredible.

431
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:42,399
Speaker 2: The Ramos first Barrios fight ending in a draw, the

432
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:44,440
Speaker 2: respect that they had for each other, like they went

433
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:47,680
Speaker 2: the distance and it was so cool. The Tailor Serrano

434
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 2: fight also went the distance. It was so impressive. Honestly,

435
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 2: I think Sarana got robbed. She landed more punches, fought

436
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 2: through her eyebrow, basically like falling off. Hard to watch.

437
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 2: The whole fight was legendary though for women's boxing, and

438
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 2: it delivered so like hand like just like Bravo and

439
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 2: applause for that. But back to the main event for

440
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:13,200
Speaker 2: a moment with Mike Tyson and Jake Paul.

441
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:15,160
Speaker 5: Oh, actually, may I say, yeah, I was gonna say

442
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 5: one thing about I think the main event was you know,

443
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 5: probably like you know, for entertainment and all of the things,

444
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 5: but it brought such attention to the first two fights

445
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:26,120
Speaker 5: and for women's boxing, and so I see and that

446
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:29,959
Speaker 5: becomes that really I'm gonna I'm gonna spin this and

447
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 5: say that's what.

448
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 4: It was really about.

449
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:32,359
Speaker 3: It was, That's what I'm saying.

450
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 4: That's a positive.

451
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:37,480
Speaker 2: The two fights before were absolutely incredible.

452
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 3: They delivered, They went the distance.

453
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:46,439
Speaker 2: These four fighters just gave everything that they had to

454
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:48,200
Speaker 2: a sold out Jerry world.

455
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:51,199
Speaker 4: But he keeps coming back to Dallas.

456
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:57,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, disasters in Dallas Stadium. Gosh, But you know what,

457
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:02,399
Speaker 3: Mike Tyson and Jake Paul they got everyone to watch.

458
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:04,919
Speaker 2: They did and that was that's the whole point of this.

459
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 2: You know, they broke netflix. Wasn't a good fight, absolutely not.

460
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 2: It was a little hard to watch, but the respect

461
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:14,400
Speaker 2: was there. Yes, Mike Tyson is a legend, and Jake

462
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:17,840
Speaker 2: Paul had that respect for Mike Tyson. Even like after

463
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 2: the fight, he was asked did you take your foot

464
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:22,400
Speaker 2: off the gas? And he said a little bit because

465
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:24,680
Speaker 2: they didn't want to hurt someone that didn't need to be.

466
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 4: Hurt, which appreciate that. That's fair.

467
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was just tough.

468
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:31,639
Speaker 2: I I would say another win of the night were

469
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:36,680
Speaker 2: all the memes. Those were so top notch, and both

470
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 2: Tyson and Jake Paul made comments gotta like hinting for

471
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:44,960
Speaker 2: like maybe their next fights. Tyson tried to say he

472
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,800
Speaker 2: wanted to fight his brother Logan Paul. That's not gonna happen.

473
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:49,960
Speaker 2: It would be a mess. Tyson, Please don't do that. Yeah,

474
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:51,720
Speaker 2: don't just don't do that because he would not have

475
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 2: the respect that that would be a full knockout. That

476
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:57,520
Speaker 2: would just know. And then Jake Paul was asked about

477
00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:00,960
Speaker 2: Canelo and he's like, nope, he needs me if he

478
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:01,719
Speaker 2: wants the payday.

479
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:04,159
Speaker 3: He knows where the money man is. This man is

480
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 3: so confident. But it's true. I mean they pulled in millions.

481
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:10,360
Speaker 3: Do we know what the ratings.

482
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:11,399
Speaker 2: Were for that fight, because I think it was I

483
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:13,959
Speaker 2: heard people say up like in the thirty seven millions,

484
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:18,720
Speaker 2: like maybe even more, like it was just absolutely insane.

485
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 4: They it did what it was supposed to do.

486
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:24,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, they and kudos and hats off to everybody who

487
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 5: made that happen because everybody was watching it, everybody was

488
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:28,480
Speaker 5: talking about it.

489
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 4: Everybody's still talking about it.

490
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was trending across all social media platforms.

491
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 5: And Netflix got to practice doing a live sporting event

492
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 5: before the Christmas Day NFL game, and I think that

493
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:42,400
Speaker 5: it's probably not a bad thing either.

494
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:47,119
Speaker 2: And we got lucky. Our our like feed only froze

495
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:50,520
Speaker 2: once and it was like right before Tyson was walking out. Okay,

496
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:55,679
Speaker 2: but yeah, there was some audio issues, some technical issues

497
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:58,200
Speaker 2: where it looked like you were watching a nineties broadcast

498
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 2: opposed to an HD completely clear broadcast. So yeah, for

499
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:04,880
Speaker 2: everyone's sake, I mean, but this is I don't think

500
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,119
Speaker 2: there's going to be what is there gonna be more

501
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 2: than like thirty seven million?

502
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:10,240
Speaker 3: Maybe because it's Christmas Day.

503
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:13,760
Speaker 5: Like Christmas Day that those are big games, Yeah, but

504
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:17,359
Speaker 5: this might it might be different because I think this

505
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:19,880
Speaker 5: was international, international.

506
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 4: It was the entertainment value.

507
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:24,560
Speaker 5: But I think the Christmas Day football games they did

508
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 5: really well last year, so it'll be interesting to see this.

509
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 5: But I do think it was a good test for them,

510
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:30,879
Speaker 5: and it gives them some time to kind of figure

511
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 5: out if it is thirty seven million?

512
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 4: Is everybody gonna be able to stud Oh.

513
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:36,359
Speaker 3: You're gonna figure it out, all right. Now, let's check

514
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 3: it out with Martin Wise and see what's trunning.

515
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,920
Speaker 7: It says last year here the average audience for the

516
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 7: chief Raiders matchup. Yeah, the last time the Chiefs loss.

517
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 7: Actually twenty nine point two million all Christmas Day lash.

518
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:53,080
Speaker 3: Okay, so close. Still a lot that can crash a site.

519
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:56,400
Speaker 8: Apparently, Yeah, apparently insane.

520
00:23:56,840 --> 00:24:00,879

552
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,800

553
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:35,400
Speaker 7: out there right now, he was a game time decision.

554
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:38,119
Speaker 7: He did start three for four so far. He was

555
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:41,119
Speaker 7: a true game time decision. Philip felt good enough through

556
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 7: warm ups to go ahead and go out there.

557
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:43,800

Speaker 9: He should play on Sunday.

00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:04,720

568
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:18,119
Speaker 7: can't win today because i Indiana's wanna buy. But I'm

569
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 7: sure today he'll remember as he signs an eight year

570
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:24,560
Speaker 7: contract extension only ten games in to his Indiana career

571

Speaker 7: so far.

572
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:27,240
Speaker 9: But when you start out ten and zero, I guess

573
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:27,840
Speaker 9: that can get.

574
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:30,360

Speaker 2: commercial breaks, Martin came in here. I feel like I'm surrounded.

580
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:49,639
Speaker 2: My entire life is surrounded by Michigan House.

581
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 9: Lucky, surrounded by good people, sir.

582
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 2: Every one of my agents has gone to Michigan, Michigan, Michigan.

583
00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:00,479
Speaker 2: I will say it was one of my favorite games

584
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 2: I ever went and covered. I went to the Big

585
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 2: House for Michigan Michigan State for Tailgate forty on Big

586
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 2: ten Network, and it was just like.

587
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 3: Insane. There's there's not much that compares to it.

588
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 5: No, it's the best it is. If you're a college

589
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:16,680
Speaker 5: football fan, you got to get to the Big House

590
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:18,480
Speaker 5: at least once. It's amazing.

591
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, there so much. Are we doing okay this year though?

592
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:27,080
Speaker 4: Because we won the Natty? Yes? Okay, I think yes,

593
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:28,359
Speaker 4: Winning the Natty helps.

594
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:31,159
Speaker 2: Okay, All right, guys, you're listening to Fox Football Saturday.

595
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:33,400
Speaker 2: I'm Alex Curry here with Tracy Sandler. We are broadcasting

596
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:35,840
Speaker 2: live from the Tara dot Com studios in Los Angeles.

597
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:38,679
Speaker 2: Thank you for spending your Saturday afternoon with us. It

598
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:42,000
Speaker 2: is time for our first guest, Bill's Team reporter Maddy

599
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 2: glad Thanks for joining the show.

600
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 6: Happy to be on, Yes, we love it.

601
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 2: Okay, we've got a huge matchup tomorrow for the Bills

602
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:54,680
Speaker 2: and the Chiefs. Buffalo is three and one against the

603
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:57,000
Speaker 2: Chiefs in the regular season during the Josh Allen era,

604
00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:01,600
Speaker 2: but obviously don't have that same success during the postseason.

605
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 2: So what's the mentality and the conversation in the locker room?

606
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:07,800
Speaker 2: What's it been like this week?

607
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 10: Yeah, the mentality has been interesting for this team because

608
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:16,479
Speaker 10: for the Bills, this is a team that they have beaten,

609
00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:18,879
Speaker 10: like you said, in the last three years in a

610
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:22,040
Speaker 10: row in the regular season. And while those wins are

611
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 10: great and you need them because you're fighting for a

612
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:28,840
Speaker 10: home playoff spot, you're fighting to win your division, you're

613
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:32,000
Speaker 10: fighting to be the number one seed. What matters most

614
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:34,680
Speaker 10: when you get to the playoffs, and the Bills have

615
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 10: quite a bit in the Josh Allen era. Is winning games,

616
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:41,800
Speaker 10: and they've struggled against the Kansas City Chiefs and the playoffs.

617
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 10: So for this team, it's a sense of this game

618
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:48,040
Speaker 10: is really important if we want a chance at the

619
00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:51,880
Speaker 10: one seed. This is an opportunity to have a better

620
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,080
Speaker 10: chance if we get out of this game with a win.

621
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:58,200
Speaker 10: But when you talk to a quarterback like Josh Allender,

622
00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:00,480
Speaker 10: players on a roster who have been on this team

623
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:03,480
Speaker 10: for a few years, it's like, great, we've beat them

624
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:06,960
Speaker 10: in the regular season, but what really matters is the playoffs.

625
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:10,000
Speaker 10: And you can't dismiss the regular season because that's how

626
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:13,040
Speaker 10: you get to the playoff, but the playoffs just hold

627
00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:16,120
Speaker 10: such a higher regard and I think that's really what's

628
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:18,280
Speaker 10: been in the way for this team is you've got

629
00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:20,200
Speaker 10: to get past the Chiefs in the playoffs, and they

630
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:22,320
Speaker 10: just haven't done that in the Josh Allen era.

631
00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 5: So Maddie with that in mind, and I find this

632
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:29,680
Speaker 5: when I'm covering the Niners and there's a big team

633
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:32,280
Speaker 5: coming up, someone that they've they've had trouble with. Yes,

634
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:34,360
Speaker 5: they do need to win in the playoffs, but does

635
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:36,320
Speaker 5: it feel like it is a little bit more just

636
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:39,880
Speaker 5: because inserting that dominance I mean, in fairness them, a

637
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:41,760
Speaker 5: lot of teams have had trouble against the Chiefs in

638
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:44,400
Speaker 5: the playoffs. But I wonder if it just means a

639
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:46,240
Speaker 5: little bit more and you, like you said, the one

640
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:47,360
Speaker 5: seed and.

641
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:48,760
Speaker 4: Give you the Chiefs their first loss.

642
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:50,560
Speaker 5: I mean that's I feel like that's a big thing

643
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:51,840
Speaker 5: too for this team in this weekend.

644
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:55,160
Speaker 10: Yeah, one hundred percent. And for it to be in

645
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:58,000
Speaker 10: Buffalo too, I mean, you get that home field advantage.

646
00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:00,160
Speaker 10: I think that's going to help this team as well.

647
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:02,960
Speaker 10: The Bills have not played the Chiefs in the regular

648
00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:07,720
Speaker 10: season at homes in the John Allen era. They played

649
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 10: them at homes are in COVID, but there weren't fans

650
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:12,680
Speaker 10: in the stands, so I feel like you can't really

651
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 10: count that. So everybody's been joking all week like, finally

652
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:19,440
Speaker 10: we get the Chiefs in Orchard Park, like they've been

653
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 10: out at Arrowhead the last two years, playing against them

654
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:24,600
Speaker 10: in the regular season at least, So I think that

655
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:26,720
Speaker 10: helps this team out. But yeah, I mean, you look

656
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:30,200
Speaker 10: at it from the standpoint of the Chiefs are undefeated,

657
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 10: They're nine to zero. They're in the driver's seat in

658
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:36,520
Speaker 10: the AfD conversation. The Bills are first in the afdast

659
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 10: but they really want to be in first place in

660
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:41,959
Speaker 10: the AFC, and how does that happen. You have to

661
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 10: beat the Chiefs. If you don't beat the Chiefs, it's

662
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:47,760
Speaker 10: going to be really hard to be in the driver's seat.

663
00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:50,320
Speaker 10: So this is for Buffalo if they want to have

664
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 10: that number one seed. This is a must win game

665
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 10: for them.

666
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:55,400
Speaker 2: So what is going to be the key for the

667
00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 2: Bills to hand the Chiefs their first loss of the season.

668
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:01,520
Speaker 10: It's this chief team. It's so interesting this season.

669
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:01,840
Speaker 1: Right.

670
00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:05,280
Speaker 10: It's been their defense again this season, and it's been

671
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:07,840
Speaker 10: the way that defensive coordinator Steve.

672
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:09,760
Speaker 6: Spagnolo draws things up.

673
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 10: He confuses the look of things, he muddies the coverage

674
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:17,720
Speaker 10: for opposing offenses. It's the defensive front, it's Chris Jones,

675
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 10: it's their linebacking Cord even on the back end. They

676
00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:24,440
Speaker 10: have a lot of talent too, So beating them on

677
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:27,480
Speaker 10: defense has to be strategic. You have to be really

678
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:30,440
Speaker 10: careful with what you're calling. They blitz teams at the

679
00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 10: third highest rate. Their run defense is top three, and

680
00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 10: so I think offensively for Buffalo, this game is going

681
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 10: to be on Josh Allen. I think if they have

682
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:42,960
Speaker 10: difficulty running the football. I think this is going to

683
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:45,959
Speaker 10: be a game where you see Alan use his legs

684
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:49,320
Speaker 10: a lot to get out of the blitz, to get

685
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 10: out of the pocket, and find answers down the field.

686
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:54,040
Speaker 6: So I think this is a game where.

687
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:56,720
Speaker 10: We're going to see Josh Allen put that Superman cap

688
00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:58,840
Speaker 10: on and go, because that's how you're going to beat

689
00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 10: this team defensively. And then for Buffalo defensively, it's about

690
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:07,640
Speaker 10: stopping Patrick Mahomes and Kareem Hunt, who's been a huge

691
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:10,360
Speaker 10: part of the lineup In the last few weeks. He's

692
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:13,640
Speaker 10: averaging like twenty three and a half touches per game,

693
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:17,800
Speaker 10: which is a huge number. And then DeAndre Hopkins has

694
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 10: really helped Mahomes' efficiency since he's been a part of

695
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:25,840
Speaker 10: the roster. The Tiefs are the best third down offense

696
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 10: in the NFL, and so I think that's really where

697
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:31,680
Speaker 10: it starts for Buffalo's defense. You got to get this

698
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:34,959
Speaker 10: team off the field on third down. The Chiefs offense

699
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:38,840
Speaker 10: has been incredible about just having success on first and

700
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 10: second down and then getting to third down and it's

701
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:43,720
Speaker 10: third and short and it's an easy run play, or

702
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:46,400
Speaker 10: it's an easy jump off past, so it's been very

703
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:48,640
Speaker 10: easy for them to convert on third downs. So I

704
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:52,280
Speaker 10: think you have to be also defensively really efficient on

705
00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:54,720
Speaker 10: first and second down and get them into those third

706
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:58,760
Speaker 10: and long scenarios so that you take away one part

707
00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:01,280
Speaker 10: of their offense and make them have to win in

708
00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:04,080
Speaker 10: only a few ways when it comes to third down scenarios.

709
00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:06,440
Speaker 10: So that's where I kind of look on both sides

710
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:06,880
Speaker 10: of the ball.

711
00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:11,000
Speaker 5: Well for the Buffalo's offense and Josh Allen putting on

712
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:13,960
Speaker 5: that Superman cap, how hard is it going to be

713
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:17,120
Speaker 5: without Dalton kid Cad.

714
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 10: I think it's going to be harder for sure, because

715
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:23,959
Speaker 10: the chief defense. One of the areas where they're allowing

716
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:27,080
Speaker 10: things to happen for an offense is they rank middle

717
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:29,200
Speaker 10: of the pack in terms of what they're allowing passing

718
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:31,640
Speaker 10: yards per game. If you look at tight ends, it's

719
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:34,960
Speaker 10: even worse. They allow a lot of yards to tight ends.

720
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:38,080
Speaker 10: It's the second most in the NFL. So without Dalton

721
00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:41,040
Speaker 10: and Kaid who's out due to a knee injury, I

722
00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:43,320
Speaker 10: think that changes things a little bit. They do have

723
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:45,560
Speaker 10: their tight end Dawson Knox, and he had a really

724
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:48,960
Speaker 10: great game last week against the Colts. So I think

725
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:51,520
Speaker 10: this is a nice second game to row for him

726
00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:53,360
Speaker 10: where he is going to be a big part of

727
00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 10: the offense. But I wonder if it's going to factor

728
00:33:57,120 --> 00:33:59,560
Speaker 10: into their usage of twelve personnel, because I think you

729
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:02,200
Speaker 10: can you can have more success against the Kansa City

730
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:05,040
Speaker 10: Chiefs defense when you're in twelve personnel, just based on

731
00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:07,840
Speaker 10: how tough they are to beat up front. So I

732
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:10,280
Speaker 10: look at you have to run a little bit heavier

733
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:14,480
Speaker 10: on offense. So it'll be interesting to see if they

734
00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:18,000
Speaker 10: use twelve personnel like they were planning to with the

735
00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:20,719
Speaker 10: dol Kin k now that they don't have Kinkaid. I

736
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:24,200
Speaker 10: wonder how that'll change things. But yes, I do think

737
00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:27,160
Speaker 10: it's going to make life harder for them on offense.

738
00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:30,759
Speaker 10: Wide receiver Amari Cooper, who is questionable for this game

739
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:33,160
Speaker 10: with a risk injury, he should be good to go.

740
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:36,160
Speaker 10: He spoke to reporters yesterday and said that he's planning

741
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:39,319
Speaker 10: to play. He's missed the last two weeks, so I

742
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:42,400
Speaker 10: think it's huge if Cooper is able to go for

743
00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:44,400
Speaker 10: this game. I think that's a big win for Buffalo

744
00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:46,960
Speaker 10: because they're out Kincaid and then you don't have the

745
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:49,120
Speaker 10: rookie wide receiver in Keon Coleman either.

746
00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:52,759

808
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:37,719
Speaker 3: talking about it for a long time.

809
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:40,000

Speaker 5: And it's kind of a silly one, but do have fun.

813
00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:49,560
Speaker 5: I think the the cambinaen celebration dances, yeah, have been

814
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:52,520
Speaker 5: so much fun. The thought that's been put into them,

815
00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:56,840
Speaker 5: the practice, the execution. And he's still playing at a

816
00:37:56,880 --> 00:37:58,760
Speaker 5: high levels, not like they're just focusing on his dances.

817
00:37:58,840 --> 00:37:59,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, I just.

818
00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:02,880
Speaker 5: Think, do you have fun? NFL careers are not long?

819
00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:07,080
Speaker 5: Y'all out there enjoy yourself. I think it gives cambaraderie

820
00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:08,120
Speaker 5: room among the team.

821
00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:08,799
Speaker 4: I'm into it.

822
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:10,480
Speaker 3: I love it might watching them.

823
00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:14,239
Speaker 2: Who does the headstand where he's literally just balancing on

824
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:14,879
Speaker 2: his head.

825
00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:17,560
Speaker 4: I think that's it. Is that one of the Eagles.

826
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:22,760
Speaker 2: It's mind blowing. It's insane. Okay, I'm gonna do another

827
00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:24,120
Speaker 2: do do meme?

828
00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:25,560
Speaker 3: Hard look.

829
00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:28,600
Speaker 2: After the Mike Tyson and Jake Paul fight memes went off,

830
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:32,200
Speaker 2: a couple of my favorite the real fight tonight was

831
00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:36,719
Speaker 2: against Netflix Connection and then there's another one of Mike

832
00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:40,880
Speaker 2: Tyson sleeping peacefully after securing the bag and making everybody

833
00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:42,360
Speaker 2: think it was going to be the craziest five of

834
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:44,480
Speaker 2: the year. And it's the hangover scene where he's sleeping

835
00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:47,560
Speaker 2: and all the guys are behind him, and then Jake

836
00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:49,560
Speaker 2: Paul is not welcomed in and out.

837
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:53,080
Speaker 3: For elder abuse. And that's all I kind of guess saying.

838
00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:54,920
Speaker 3: Last night I was watching it like a feel this

839
00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:57,279
Speaker 3: feels like elder abuse. This is hard, this is hard

840
00:38:57,320 --> 00:38:59,400
Speaker 3: to watch. Okay, you got another one.

841
00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:01,600
Speaker 4: I have a dome. Okay, I'm going to go back

842
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:03,600
Speaker 4: to something we talked about earlier. Don't get in fights

843
00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:04,800
Speaker 4: with your teammates on the sideline.

844
00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:05,399
Speaker 3: Don't do it.

845
00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:07,880
Speaker 5: Just don't do it. Doesn't matter what is going on,

846
00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:11,200
Speaker 5: because inevitably, even if it wasn't that big a deal,

847
00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:12,600
Speaker 5: it now becomes a big deal.

848
00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:13,359
Speaker 3: It's a big deal.

849
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:15,640
Speaker 5: And because it happened on the sideline, and I think

850
00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:19,280
Speaker 5: I think those things can curreate throughout a season.

851
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:20,680
Speaker 3: Oh for sure.

852
00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:25,200

935
00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:36,319
Speaker 2: preseason team to watch because of the quarterback situation they

936
00:43:36,360 --> 00:43:38,560
Speaker 2: had going on, and no one really knew what to

937

Speaker 2: expect from either of these guys. But Justin Fields got

938
00:43:41,600 --> 00:43:44,439
Speaker 2: this start. The first six games went four and two.

939
00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:48,480
Speaker 3: He did enough to keep them really in the race

940
00:43:48,680 --> 00:43:51,960
Speaker 3: and to be able to be first in a division.

941
00:43:51,680 --> 00:43:53,000
Speaker 2: Where I think most people thought it was gonna be

942
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:58,200
Speaker 2: the Ravens of the Bengals. And then Russell Wilson having

943
00:43:58,239 --> 00:44:01,000
Speaker 2: a little comeback. He's won the three games he's played in.

944
00:44:01,120 --> 00:44:05,359
Speaker 2: People Rodolph Russ in Denver said he was washed full transparency.

945
00:44:05,400 --> 00:44:07,240
Speaker 2: I was one of those people that didn't fully believe

946
00:44:07,239 --> 00:44:09,440
Speaker 2: in him once he came to the Steelers. But I

947
00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:12,160
Speaker 2: love a comeback story, so prove me wrong, like, please,

948
00:44:12,719 --> 00:44:16,000
Speaker 2: please prove me wrong. But the other big stories are defense.

949
00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:20,160
Speaker 2: They have been top notch, second in points allowed per game,

950
00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:21,800
Speaker 2: eighth in yards allowed per.

951
00:44:21,680 --> 00:44:22,279
Speaker 3: Game, and T J.

952
00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:25,879
Speaker 2: Watt currently the favorite to win Defensive Player of the Year.

953
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:28,560
Speaker 2: So like, I had them as like a team to

954
00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:31,200
Speaker 2: keep an eye on, but trace did you expect them

955
00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:32,400
Speaker 2: to have this kind of a season.

956
00:44:32,880 --> 00:44:36,480
Speaker 5: My only concern with them was the idea that if

957
00:44:36,480 --> 00:44:38,280
Speaker 5: you have two quarterbacks, you have neal quarterbacks.

958
00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:42,120
Speaker 2: You and Carmen say the same thing. I'm like, nah, man,

959
00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:45,720
Speaker 2: this is competition. It's gonna motivate you to be better

960
00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:47,000
Speaker 2: and want to take that spot.

961
00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:48,040
Speaker 4: And I think it did.

962
00:44:48,160 --> 00:44:50,839
Speaker 5: And I think that's and I think Russell Wilson, to

963
00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:54,040
Speaker 5: his credit, has found somewhat of a different way to

964
00:44:54,080 --> 00:44:57,359
Speaker 5: play quarterback. Yeah, he's not the Russell Wilson of ten

965
00:44:57,440 --> 00:45:00,480
Speaker 5: years ago, and he's fighting a different way. And I

966
00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:02,840
Speaker 5: think Mike Tomlin is a heck of a coach. So

967
00:45:03,120 --> 00:45:04,600
Speaker 5: did I think the Steelers would be good?

968
00:45:04,840 --> 00:45:05,080
Speaker 3: Yes?

969
00:45:05,160 --> 00:45:07,520
Speaker 5: Did I think it would be like this? I did,

970
00:45:07,520 --> 00:45:10,919
Speaker 5: not just because of quarterback, but good for them. They're

971
00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:13,480
Speaker 5: fun and to meet Steelers when you think of like

972
00:45:13,520 --> 00:45:15,480
Speaker 5: the NFL, I think of the Steelers.

973
00:45:15,560 --> 00:45:17,080
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, no, no, no, They're.

974
00:45:16,960 --> 00:45:18,279
Speaker 4: Like and that would be cool.

975
00:45:18,320 --> 00:45:21,400
Speaker 5: And that AFC North is that's a tough division, no

976
00:45:21,440 --> 00:45:23,360
Speaker 5: matter how the Bengals are playing right now, it is

977
00:45:23,400 --> 00:45:24,200
Speaker 5: a tough division.

978
00:45:24,239 --> 00:45:26,360
Speaker 3: So even the Browns were great at one point.

979
00:45:26,400 --> 00:45:29,280
Speaker 2: I mean, I thought Steelers were going to be bottom

980
00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:30,840
Speaker 2: of Like I think a lot of people thought they

981
00:45:30,840 --> 00:45:31,880
Speaker 2: were gonna be bottom of the Division.

982
00:45:31,880 --> 00:45:32,920
Speaker 3: It was going to be a tough.

983
00:45:32,719 --> 00:45:35,399
Speaker 2: Battle to I didn't think they'd be able to make

984
00:45:35,719 --> 00:45:41,040
Speaker 2: make the postseason. I mean between Lamar and Burrow and

985
00:45:41,440 --> 00:45:46,200
Speaker 2: I mean, Brown's a whole other situation. But the Steelers,

986
00:45:46,239 --> 00:45:50,080
Speaker 2: like again, you can't count out Mike Tomlin. It never

987
00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:53,640
Speaker 2: came future Hall of Fame coach, an elite organization that

988
00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:57,320
Speaker 2: just knows how to play good football. And he doesn't

989
00:45:57,320 --> 00:45:58,240
Speaker 2: have losing seasons.

990
00:45:58,400 --> 00:45:58,920
Speaker 4: No, he does not.

991
00:45:59,080 --> 00:46:03,160
Speaker 2: He does not, So oh, I just that is the good.

992
00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:06,120
Speaker 2: But their matchup this weekend leads us to the weird,

993
00:46:06,600 --> 00:46:09,520
Speaker 2: and that's the ravens Lamar Jackson, who is one in

994
00:46:09,680 --> 00:46:13,120
Speaker 2: three against the Steelers, and that's kind of weird considering

995
00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:16,880
Speaker 2: Lamar is seventeen and five against the other AFC North teams.

996
00:46:17,280 --> 00:46:17,680
Speaker 3: Very weird.

997
00:46:17,840 --> 00:46:22,440
Speaker 2: Bengals, yeah, and Browns. Pittsburgh is the only team that

998
00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:25,600
Speaker 2: he's thrown more interceptions than touchdown passes. Who has seven

999
00:46:25,719 --> 00:46:31,440
Speaker 2: interceptions and four touchdown passes. It's I guess you got

1000
00:46:31,560 --> 00:46:33,640
Speaker 2: to hand it to Mike Tomlin and his defense.

1001
00:46:33,680 --> 00:46:34,720
Speaker 3: He's a defensive coach.

1002
00:46:34,880 --> 00:46:38,239
Speaker 2: And Lamar even said he doesn't understand why he has

1003
00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:41,080
Speaker 2: these numbers. Like last year they were supposed to beat them,

1004
00:46:41,080 --> 00:46:43,840
Speaker 2: but things didn't work out the way. The football gods

1005
00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:46,640
Speaker 2: weren't on their side. But it's a new year, a

1006
00:46:46,719 --> 00:46:49,680
Speaker 2: new game. He's looking forward to it, and even coach

1007
00:46:49,760 --> 00:46:51,000
Speaker 2: Jim Harbaugh said, we didn't.

1008
00:46:51,719 --> 00:46:54,440
Speaker 3: We don't live in the past. You're living in the past, man.

1009
00:46:55,800 --> 00:47:00,839
Speaker 3: None of it matters. It's the next game. Yeah, it's

1010
00:47:00,920 --> 00:47:05,959
Speaker 3: it's weird that Lamar cannot get over the Steelers. Humh.

1011
00:47:05,960 --> 00:47:08,080
Speaker 2: But the good news for the Ravens is after starting

1012
00:47:08,160 --> 00:47:10,680
Speaker 2: zero to two, they've won seven of their last eight games.

1013
00:47:10,760 --> 00:47:16,040
Speaker 2: Lamar's having another MVP caliber season. He's currently the MVP fave.

1014
00:47:16,920 --> 00:47:19,800
Speaker 2: So it's funny, this one's a toss.

1015
00:47:19,680 --> 00:47:20,040
Speaker 3: Up for me.

1016
00:47:20,400 --> 00:47:23,520
Speaker 5: Well, in games like this, it becomes less about the

1017
00:47:23,560 --> 00:47:26,680
Speaker 5: overall this team's better than that team or this quarterbacks,

1018
00:47:26,680 --> 00:47:30,239
Speaker 5: but it's matchups. Yeah, certain coaches know how had a

1019
00:47:30,239 --> 00:47:33,960
Speaker 5: scheme against a particular quarterback. Niners in the Vikings have

1020
00:47:34,040 --> 00:47:36,680
Speaker 5: this like they can't. They have so much trouble with

1021
00:47:36,719 --> 00:47:39,520
Speaker 5: the Vikings, and I think I think Lamar would like

1022
00:47:39,560 --> 00:47:43,400
Speaker 5: to probably get over this hub. But sometimes certain teams

1023
00:47:43,440 --> 00:47:45,359
Speaker 5: have your number, and not because of a mental thing,

1024
00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:47,200
Speaker 5: but just they know how to play you. And they

1025
00:47:47,239 --> 00:47:49,640
Speaker 5: know how to play you in a way that others don't.

1026
00:47:49,640 --> 00:47:52,759
Speaker 5: They have the personnel that can play you in that way.

1027
00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:54,960
Speaker 5: And so I don't know, this will be a fun one.

1028
00:47:55,320 --> 00:47:58,719
Speaker 5: It's Lamar. You know, we could say Lamar's do I

1029
00:47:58,800 --> 00:48:00,480
Speaker 5: kind of I don't know, I kind of I do.

1030
00:48:00,800 --> 00:48:03,560
Speaker 5: I could be wrong. My kind of gut feeling is

1031
00:48:03,560 --> 00:48:04,600
Speaker 5: the Ravens are gonna win it.

1032
00:48:04,840 --> 00:48:08,279
Speaker 2: So I reached out to Cynthia freelan our dear friend

1033
00:48:08,280 --> 00:48:13,120
Speaker 2: who's the analytics expert and does like data science for

1034
00:48:13,280 --> 00:48:15,360
Speaker 2: NFL Network, and I was like, so, tell me, like,

1035
00:48:15,400 --> 00:48:17,399
Speaker 2: what what are the numbers telling you. She's like, it's

1036
00:48:17,400 --> 00:48:20,040
Speaker 2: a fifty to fifty. It's a fifty to fifty toss up.

1037
00:48:20,080 --> 00:48:22,120
Speaker 2: I'm like, great, Okay, that didn't help me at all,

1038
00:48:22,160 --> 00:48:23,600
Speaker 2: but cool, cool, cool, cool.

1039
00:48:23,680 --> 00:48:25,319
Speaker 4: So it's I'm going Lamar.

1040
00:48:25,160 --> 00:48:28,120
Speaker 2: It's yeah, we're gonna have our full game picks at

1041
00:48:28,120 --> 00:48:31,040
Speaker 2: the end of the show. But that that one was like, ah,

1042
00:48:31,120 --> 00:48:34,040
Speaker 2: I could really go either way. All right, Let's move

1043
00:48:34,080 --> 00:48:38,040
Speaker 2: to the rad and that's the Chiefs, you guys. Back

1044
00:48:38,080 --> 00:48:40,480
Speaker 2: to back, the back to back Super Bowl champs are

1045
00:48:40,480 --> 00:48:42,080
Speaker 2: currently undefeated nine wins in.

1046
00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:44,839
Speaker 4: It might finally.

1047
00:48:44,560 --> 00:48:48,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, they've won fifteen straight dating back to last season.

1048
00:48:48,080 --> 00:48:50,120
Speaker 3: They haven't lost since Christmas Day. We were just talking

1049
00:48:50,160 --> 00:48:51,240
Speaker 3: about that was that the Raiders.

1050
00:48:51,520 --> 00:48:52,560
Speaker 4: Yeah lost, So that was.

1051
00:48:52,520 --> 00:48:53,840
Speaker 3: Just such a weird loss.

1052
00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:58,160
Speaker 2: But it further proves that no matter what players they

1053
00:48:58,160 --> 00:49:00,920
Speaker 2: have on their team, if Patrick Mahomes that Andy Reid

1054
00:49:01,480 --> 00:49:02,600
Speaker 2: are paired up.

1055
00:49:02,640 --> 00:49:06,360
Speaker 3: The dynasty will continue. Like it is a full dynasty

1056
00:49:06,480 --> 00:49:06,960
Speaker 3: right now.

1057
00:49:07,040 --> 00:49:11,320
Speaker 2: And Andy Reid compared what the Chiefs are doing to

1058
00:49:11,840 --> 00:49:15,359
Speaker 2: a kid in school studying for a test. And if

1059
00:49:15,400 --> 00:49:17,640
Speaker 2: you study as much as you can and then you

1060
00:49:17,719 --> 00:49:20,080
Speaker 2: go and take the test and the mindset works, it's

1061
00:49:20,120 --> 00:49:20,839
Speaker 2: all going to work out.

1062
00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:24,080
Speaker 3: I think we have some sound of Andy Reid talking

1063
00:49:24,120 --> 00:49:24,600
Speaker 3: about this.

1064
00:49:27,520 --> 00:49:30,480
Speaker 11: You bust your butt and you maximize all you can

1065
00:49:30,520 --> 00:49:32,920
Speaker 11: do with the time that you have to get better

1066
00:49:33,080 --> 00:49:35,400
Speaker 11: and to know the information that's in front of you,

1067
00:49:35,719 --> 00:49:37,239
Speaker 11: and so then you don't have to worry about all

1068
00:49:37,280 --> 00:49:39,600
Speaker 11: that other stuff. You maximize it out and then you

1069
00:49:39,600 --> 00:49:41,400
Speaker 11: go you get to a point where you go, all, right,

1070
00:49:41,440 --> 00:49:43,279
Speaker 11: this as much as I can do, I'm going to

1071
00:49:43,360 --> 00:49:46,080
Speaker 11: just go out and do it. And so it relieves

1072
00:49:46,120 --> 00:49:48,520
Speaker 11: some of that oh we're nine and oh or you

1073
00:49:48,560 --> 00:49:51,400
Speaker 11: know whatever I mean, you know it's just three super

1074
00:49:51,480 --> 00:49:54,640
Speaker 11: all that crap. You got to do the work to

1075
00:49:54,680 --> 00:49:57,640
Speaker 11: get the result and then sometimes that doesn't happen. But

1076
00:49:58,239 --> 00:50:00,520
Speaker 11: you know, so why worry about all that. That's stuff

1077
00:50:00,520 --> 00:50:02,880
Speaker 11: that you can't control. The control is what I'm talking

1078
00:50:02,880 --> 00:50:05,560
Speaker 11: about here. It's kind of a neat thing to watch.

1079
00:50:05,600 --> 00:50:07,920
Speaker 11: And that's what the guys have been doing. And we'll

1080
00:50:07,920 --> 00:50:09,600
Speaker 11: see you We'll just see how it goes. I mean,

1081
00:50:09,960 --> 00:50:12,480
Speaker 11: I don't have a crystal ball, and nobody does really,

1082
00:50:12,480 --> 00:50:14,680
Speaker 11: and so you know, you just go, you go play.

1083
00:50:15,040 --> 00:50:16,800
Speaker 5: I mean, that's the leader you want to be behind,

1084
00:50:16,920 --> 00:50:19,920
Speaker 5: one hundred percent. And he's lucky, no put intended. He's

1085
00:50:19,920 --> 00:50:22,359
Speaker 5: got the chief maximizer playing quarterback for him. If there's

1086
00:50:22,360 --> 00:50:25,640
Speaker 5: a heady's ever somebody who can maximize whatever as much

1087
00:50:25,719 --> 00:50:26,560
Speaker 5: or as little as he has.

1088
00:50:26,680 --> 00:50:27,720
Speaker 4: It's Patrick Mahomes.

1089
00:50:27,760 --> 00:50:30,520
Speaker 5: And so they are incredible and no matter how you

1090
00:50:30,600 --> 00:50:34,840
Speaker 5: feel about them, they're doing something really special and you

1091
00:50:34,960 --> 00:50:37,279
Speaker 5: kind of have to you have to respect it. You

1092
00:50:37,320 --> 00:50:41,200
Speaker 5: have to respect Mahomes. I do not believe that the

1093
00:50:41,239 --> 00:50:42,799
Speaker 5: refs are in on it.

1094
00:50:42,840 --> 00:50:43,160
Speaker 3: I don't.

1095
00:50:43,760 --> 00:50:45,160
Speaker 4: Absolutely. They're just a.

1096
00:50:45,239 --> 00:50:47,680
Speaker 5: Very very good football team and he knows how to

1097
00:50:47,680 --> 00:50:50,560
Speaker 5: get it done and what Andy Reid just said, is

1098
00:50:51,120 --> 00:50:54,359
Speaker 5: just sums it all up. So they are rad and

1099
00:50:54,440 --> 00:50:56,719
Speaker 5: so we'll see if they're going to go ten and

1100
00:50:56,760 --> 00:50:58,440
Speaker 5: oh against the Bills.

1101
00:50:58,440 --> 00:51:00,080
Speaker 4: As we talked to Maddy earlier.

1102
00:51:00,040 --> 00:51:03,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, the game of the week Sunday against the Bills. Now,

1103
00:51:03,680 --> 00:51:06,200
Speaker 2: Josh Allen knows how to beat the Chiefs, but for

1104
00:51:06,200 --> 00:51:09,080
Speaker 2: some reason, Mahome lives free in his head during the

1105
00:51:09,120 --> 00:51:12,680
Speaker 2: postseason because Alan is three and one against Mahomes in

1106
00:51:12,719 --> 00:51:15,839
Speaker 2: the regular season, but oho and three against Mahomes in

1107
00:51:15,880 --> 00:51:16,640
Speaker 2: the playoffs.

1108
00:51:17,120 --> 00:51:17,960
Speaker 3: So and it's interesting.

1109
00:51:18,080 --> 00:51:20,200
Speaker 2: When we talked to Bills reporter Matdy Glab last hour,

1110
00:51:20,640 --> 00:51:22,720
Speaker 2: we were asking her about this, and it's like, well,

1111
00:51:22,760 --> 00:51:26,080
Speaker 2: you know it is this because we heard Josh Allen

1112
00:51:26,120 --> 00:51:28,279
Speaker 2: say like, oh, it's just a week eleven game. It's like, no,

1113
00:51:28,320 --> 00:51:32,040
Speaker 2: it's not, buddy like. It's also the first game like

1114
00:51:32,239 --> 00:51:34,719
Speaker 2: home game where they get to play the Chiefs at home.

1115
00:51:34,760 --> 00:51:36,239
Speaker 2: The other one was during COVID, so there were no

1116
00:51:36,360 --> 00:51:37,920
Speaker 2: fans there. So it's the first time they really get

1117
00:51:37,960 --> 00:51:41,360
Speaker 2: to experience that entire atmosphere, and there has to be

1118
00:51:41,760 --> 00:51:45,040
Speaker 2: like they're missing their tight end. Amari Cooper is questionable.

1119
00:51:45,080 --> 00:51:47,120
Speaker 2: She said he might be in so it's going to

1120
00:51:47,200 --> 00:51:49,560
Speaker 2: have to be Josh Allen once again putting the team

1121
00:51:49,600 --> 00:51:52,320
Speaker 2: on his back to try to take down the dynasty.

1122
00:51:52,880 --> 00:51:54,919
Speaker 5: And I think something that what doesn't get talked about

1123
00:51:55,000 --> 00:51:57,520
Speaker 5: enough with the Chiefs is their defense because it's all

1124
00:51:57,560 --> 00:51:59,960
Speaker 5: about it gets all about Mahomes. But they also have

1125
00:52:00,480 --> 00:52:03,200
Speaker 5: an incredible defense. So it's not going to be easy

1126
00:52:03,320 --> 00:52:05,920
Speaker 5: for Josh Allen to put him on his back, but

1127
00:52:06,239 --> 00:52:08,040
Speaker 5: that is what he's gonna have to do. I have

1128
00:52:08,080 --> 00:52:10,080
Speaker 5: a hot take about undefeated seasons.

1129
00:52:10,120 --> 00:52:10,839
Speaker 3: Okay, let's go.

1130
00:52:11,200 --> 00:52:13,040
Speaker 5: I do not think it is good for a team

1131
00:52:13,040 --> 00:52:14,640
Speaker 5: to have an undefeated regular season.

1132
00:52:14,800 --> 00:52:15,800
Speaker 3: Oh no, I agree.

1133
00:52:15,880 --> 00:52:17,760
Speaker 4: I think they need to take Maybe it's Luke warn.

1134
00:52:17,719 --> 00:52:20,080
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, I agree, because like you got to

1135
00:52:20,120 --> 00:52:22,799
Speaker 2: have a little like you got to face a little

1136
00:52:22,840 --> 00:52:25,919
Speaker 2: adversity something during the regular season to be like, Okay,

1137
00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:28,600
Speaker 2: that wasn't that bad. Let's keep going. But if there

1138
00:52:28,640 --> 00:52:30,480
Speaker 2: was ever a team where I don't think it would affect,

1139
00:52:30,760 --> 00:52:31,440
Speaker 2: it's the Chiefs.

1140
00:52:31,600 --> 00:52:32,640
Speaker 4: Probably the Chiefs.

1141
00:52:32,640 --> 00:52:34,600
Speaker 5: I also think of just law of averages is that

1142
00:52:35,440 --> 00:52:39,160
Speaker 5: eventually you're gonna have to lose, but but not if

1143
00:52:39,280 --> 00:52:43,359
Speaker 5: with the Chiefs. You might be right. They're different as

1144
00:52:43,440 --> 00:52:44,280
Speaker 5: they're built different.

1145
00:52:44,320 --> 00:52:44,640
Speaker 3: They are.

1146
00:52:44,760 --> 00:52:47,080
Speaker 4: They are literally and figuratively they are.

1147
00:52:46,960 --> 00:52:51,919
Speaker 2: Built Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid is like, it's it's

1148
00:52:51,960 --> 00:52:54,439
Speaker 2: the new Tom Brady, Bill Belichick. If they are, they

1149
00:52:54,440 --> 00:52:57,880
Speaker 2: are the dynasty of now and you can never count

1150
00:52:57,920 --> 00:53:01,719
Speaker 2: them out. I mean last year was patrickmas worst statistical year.

1151
00:53:01,840 --> 00:53:04,840
Speaker 2: That was a year for everybody, Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson

1152
00:53:05,080 --> 00:53:08,440
Speaker 2: to take him down and they couldn't. And he somehow

1153
00:53:08,520 --> 00:53:10,160
Speaker 2: figured it out. And they're back to back super Bowl

1154
00:53:10,200 --> 00:53:14,360
Speaker 2: champs and they're looking dead bit good. Uh yeah, a

1155
00:53:14,600 --> 00:53:18,480
Speaker 2: three pete at the bombit. But let's finish with the bad.

1156
00:53:19,920 --> 00:53:21,759
Speaker 2: If you're just tuning in, we're doing a segment called

1157
00:53:21,760 --> 00:53:23,919
Speaker 2: the Good, the Bad, the Weird, the rat and the

1158
00:53:24,120 --> 00:53:28,480
Speaker 2: Bad in the AFC or the Jets. You guys, I'm sorry,

1159
00:53:28,600 --> 00:53:32,279
Speaker 2: but are we surprised? I've been saying this since the preseason.

1160
00:53:32,440 --> 00:53:34,200
Speaker 2: I did not think it was going to work without

1161
00:53:34,239 --> 00:53:37,760
Speaker 2: any proof of concept. Yes, a forty year old quarterback

1162
00:53:37,800 --> 00:53:41,040
Speaker 2: coming off a major injury in a new organization, which

1163
00:53:41,080 --> 00:53:45,520
Speaker 2: we know that organization's dysfunctional, and Rogers.

1164
00:53:45,120 --> 00:53:47,279
Speaker 3: Is a very picky guy. He has to have a

1165
00:53:47,320 --> 00:53:51,239
Speaker 3: relationship and a deep trust with his receivers, if he's

1166
00:53:51,239 --> 00:53:54,360
Speaker 3: even gonna throw to you. As we've seen, he's called out.

1167
00:53:54,440 --> 00:53:59,680
Speaker 2: So many coaches teammates if they made a wrong play,

1168
00:53:59,800 --> 00:54:00,759
Speaker 2: like it is just.

1169
00:54:02,880 --> 00:54:03,480
Speaker 3: It's brutal.

1170
00:54:04,320 --> 00:54:07,960
Speaker 2: Good news for a Judds fan. That's being sarcastic. Rogers

1171
00:54:08,000 --> 00:54:09,840
Speaker 2: still wants to play next season, so you're gonna have

1172
00:54:09,880 --> 00:54:12,080
Speaker 2: to go through it all again next year because he

1173
00:54:12,080 --> 00:54:16,360
Speaker 2: ain't getting any younger. And we heard Boomer, former Jets quarterback,

1174
00:54:16,440 --> 00:54:19,680
Speaker 2: was talking about how he's not Rogers isn't the same player.

1175
00:54:19,680 --> 00:54:21,719
Speaker 3: Obviously we all have eyes, you can see it.

1176
00:54:21,880 --> 00:54:23,239
Speaker 2: And he said, I hate to say it, it's like

1177
00:54:23,280 --> 00:54:25,760
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers has completely sucked the air.

1178
00:54:25,640 --> 00:54:26,400
Speaker 3: Out of the building.

1179
00:54:26,719 --> 00:54:28,920
Speaker 2: And I think so many guys are referring to who

1180
00:54:29,000 --> 00:54:31,440
Speaker 2: he is in their minds, in their minds, and in

1181
00:54:31,480 --> 00:54:33,520
Speaker 2: my mind, he's a first ballot Hall of Fame player,

1182
00:54:33,760 --> 00:54:35,960
Speaker 2: one of the greatest quarterbacks, and when he was in

1183
00:54:36,040 --> 00:54:37,839
Speaker 2: his prime, he was one of the best we had

1184
00:54:37,840 --> 00:54:39,880
Speaker 2: ever seen. But the fact you've hear someone say he

1185
00:54:39,960 --> 00:54:41,759
Speaker 2: just sucks the air out of the room, like if

1186
00:54:41,760 --> 00:54:44,919
Speaker 2: that doesn't describe what it's probably like in New York

1187
00:54:45,000 --> 00:54:45,359
Speaker 2: right now.

1188
00:54:45,440 --> 00:54:45,920
Speaker 5: I just.

1189
00:54:48,880 --> 00:54:51,200
Speaker 2: It's tough. It's not a good situation. I don't think

1190
00:54:51,200 --> 00:54:52,799
Speaker 2: they should have fired his coach. I don't think it

1191
00:54:52,800 --> 00:54:55,200
Speaker 2: was Sola's fault. He was their best situation. He was

1192
00:54:55,239 --> 00:54:59,240
Speaker 2: their best like fit case situation, like scenario and everything

1193
00:54:59,239 --> 00:55:00,360
Speaker 2: that was happening in that moment.

1194
00:55:00,880 --> 00:55:02,160
Speaker 4: They should not have fired him.

1195
00:55:02,160 --> 00:55:05,719
Speaker 5: And the other problem with Rogers is they've it's been

1196
00:55:05,719 --> 00:55:08,799
Speaker 5: all about basically giving him whatever he wants. Oh, he

1197
00:55:08,840 --> 00:55:11,759
Speaker 5: wants it, and so he's now kind of like the

1198
00:55:11,840 --> 00:55:14,880
Speaker 5: GM and the coach and the quarterback and he's not

1199
00:55:14,960 --> 00:55:18,400
Speaker 5: doing any of it well. And it is a hot mess.

1200
00:55:18,520 --> 00:55:22,400
Speaker 5: And like you said, the organization is dysfunctional anyways. But

1201
00:55:23,160 --> 00:55:28,600
Speaker 5: firing Robert sal I think was a very big mistake. Clearly, Yeah, reactional.

1202
00:55:28,320 --> 00:55:30,680
Speaker 4: And just it's a mess.

1203
00:55:30,719 --> 00:55:35,000
Speaker 5: And Rogers is the thing we didn't see I think

1204
00:55:35,000 --> 00:55:38,200
Speaker 5: in the earlier parts of his career was how much

1205
00:55:38,200 --> 00:55:39,480
Speaker 5: he's all about Aaron Rodgers.

1206
00:55:40,560 --> 00:55:42,879
Speaker 3: I think we always kind of knew that, but it's just.

1207
00:55:42,800 --> 00:55:44,400
Speaker 4: It's gone to it. It feels like it's gone to a

1208
00:55:44,440 --> 00:55:45,280
Speaker 4: new level extreme.

1209
00:55:45,360 --> 00:55:49,040
Speaker 2: I mean he was on Pat McAfee and on his

1210
00:55:49,600 --> 00:55:53,919
Speaker 2: like where your name plate is? It said like super

1211
00:55:54,000 --> 00:55:59,200
Speaker 2: Bowl champ, MVP and Ayahuasca enthusiast. So he's just leaning

1212
00:55:59,320 --> 00:56:02,080
Speaker 2: in so hard to that side of everything.

1213
00:56:02,120 --> 00:56:04,279
Speaker 3: And you know what, zero judgment there.

1214
00:56:04,320 --> 00:56:06,040
Speaker 2: If that's what gets you in the right mindset, you

1215
00:56:06,040 --> 00:56:08,440
Speaker 2: feel good about yourself, like it is one of the

1216
00:56:08,560 --> 00:56:14,280
Speaker 2: like ancient rituals like of the world. But I just, honestly,

1217
00:56:14,320 --> 00:56:16,040
Speaker 2: it's just tough to see greats go out like this.

1218
00:56:16,760 --> 00:56:19,920
Speaker 2: It's the beginning of the end obviously. But is it

1219
00:56:19,960 --> 00:56:22,319
Speaker 2: even fun for him anymore because you're not winning games? Yeah,

1220
00:56:22,360 --> 00:56:23,759
Speaker 2: you're not having him.

1221
00:56:24,440 --> 00:56:26,160
Speaker 5: It doesn't feel like how can you be having fun?

1222
00:56:26,200 --> 00:56:31,880
Speaker 5: And there's dysfunction everywhere everywhere, So unless unless he's reveling

1223
00:56:32,000 --> 00:56:34,400
Speaker 5: in that, which some people do, but I can't imagine

1224
00:56:34,400 --> 00:56:36,480
Speaker 5: this is fun for him anymore. It's just and it

1225
00:56:36,520 --> 00:56:38,880
Speaker 5: also it's kind of just sad to watch a little bit.

1226
00:56:38,920 --> 00:56:40,680
Speaker 3: So it's hard.

1227
00:56:40,719 --> 00:56:42,400
Speaker 2: All right, guys, We're going to take a quick break here,

1228
00:56:42,440 --> 00:56:45,359
Speaker 2: but when we come back, is Brownie James set up

1229
00:56:45,360 --> 00:56:46,280
Speaker 2: for a disaster.

1230
00:56:46,640 --> 00:56:48,160

Speaker 3: We've had a lot of fun today.

1240
00:57:12,000 --> 00:57:14,359
Speaker 2: We have and you know what, now we're gonna talk

1241
00:57:14,400 --> 00:57:18,840
Speaker 2: some basketball because there was a report this week that

1242
00:57:19,000 --> 00:57:22,760
Speaker 2: Brownie James is set to only play in G League

1243
00:57:22,960 --> 00:57:26,160
Speaker 2: home games, so he's basically going to be a part

1244
00:57:26,240 --> 00:57:29,959
Speaker 2: time player for the club moving forward.

1245
00:57:30,320 --> 00:57:33,480
Speaker 3: And you guys, this special treatment is only going to

1246
00:57:33,560 --> 00:57:36,720
Speaker 3: hurt him in the long run. I think mainly with

1247
00:57:36,800 --> 00:57:39,200
Speaker 3: his teammates, because how do you earn respect, how do

1248
00:57:39,240 --> 00:57:39,840
Speaker 3: you build.

1249
00:57:39,600 --> 00:57:43,880
Speaker 2: A connection with these people. He's just he's at a

1250
00:57:43,920 --> 00:57:46,360
Speaker 2: disadvantage right out of the gates. As someone who's been

1251
00:57:46,400 --> 00:57:50,880
Speaker 2: on the road with teams for a decade.

1252
00:57:50,880 --> 00:57:51,680
Speaker 3: I was on the road.

1253
00:57:52,440 --> 00:57:56,800
Speaker 2: That's where you become family with everybody. It's you were

1254
00:57:56,840 --> 00:58:00,000
Speaker 2: all going through it together. I just there's already been

1255
00:58:00,120 --> 00:58:05,600
Speaker 2: in the Nepo baby conversation. It's only gonna get worse.

1256
00:58:05,680 --> 00:58:08,680
Speaker 2: Like you have a target on your back and like

1257
00:58:08,760 --> 00:58:11,600
Speaker 2: the you're only here because of your dad is gonna

1258
00:58:11,600 --> 00:58:12,040
Speaker 2: get worse.

1259
00:58:13,680 --> 00:58:15,160
Speaker 4: He's not set up for success.

1260
00:58:15,440 --> 00:58:17,880
Speaker 5: And you know, on the one hand, it's so cool

1261
00:58:18,040 --> 00:58:19,400
Speaker 5: that we get to see them play together.

1262
00:58:19,480 --> 00:58:22,080
Speaker 3: Well we did. They got it out of the way,

1263
00:58:21,640 --> 00:58:25,600
Speaker 3: they like super cool. But Lakers handled it perfectly.

1264
00:58:26,160 --> 00:58:28,640
Speaker 4: But this is not going to help him.

1265
00:58:28,640 --> 00:58:31,040
Speaker 5: And you're right with his teammates and you you want,

1266
00:58:31,080 --> 00:58:33,760
Speaker 5: you need the respect of your teammates. So what I

1267
00:58:33,800 --> 00:58:37,400
Speaker 5: didn't quite understand about this is has this ever been

1268
00:58:37,440 --> 00:58:38,040
Speaker 5: done before?

1269
00:58:38,240 --> 00:58:41,160
Speaker 4: And so he just is it? Is there a reason?

1270
00:58:41,240 --> 00:58:44,080
Speaker 4: Is is travel not good for his health? Or is

1271
00:58:44,120 --> 00:58:46,120
Speaker 4: this just Brownie doesn't want to travel so we're not

1272
00:58:46,160 --> 00:58:46,600
Speaker 4: gonna make it.

1273
00:58:47,200 --> 00:58:50,120
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's like maybe because G League games,

1274
00:58:50,160 --> 00:58:55,920
Speaker 2: you're in smaller cities, you're in smaller airports, you have layovers.

1275
00:58:56,760 --> 00:59:00,640
Speaker 2: I'm also curious, like what's Lebron's in fluence in this.

1276
00:59:01,400 --> 00:59:04,439
Speaker 3: Is it a safety reason, is it a security thing?

1277
00:59:04,880 --> 00:59:09,640
Speaker 2: Is it a brawny thing just not wanting to like

1278
00:59:10,160 --> 00:59:12,360
Speaker 2: to do it? And to like he's never been in

1279
00:59:12,360 --> 00:59:14,320
Speaker 2: that world before. He's grown up on a private jet,

1280
00:59:14,600 --> 00:59:17,560
Speaker 2: so like might even be worse, but like take the

1281
00:59:17,600 --> 00:59:20,080
Speaker 2: PJA to go to the games. At least like whatever

1282
00:59:20,120 --> 00:59:22,520
Speaker 2: it is, so you're at least there and playing with

1283
00:59:22,600 --> 00:59:26,880
Speaker 2: your teammates and earning a spot, Yeah, earning a spot

1284
00:59:27,120 --> 00:59:29,960
Speaker 2: on the team, and earning a spot with the Lakers

1285
00:59:30,000 --> 00:59:31,840
Speaker 2: once you come up. Because we've already heard he's gonna

1286
00:59:31,880 --> 00:59:33,720
Speaker 2: go up and down between the Lakers and the G

1287
00:59:33,880 --> 00:59:38,320
Speaker 2: League team. But the South Bay's longest streak of road

1288
00:59:38,320 --> 00:59:42,080
Speaker 2: games is six, but that's stretched out over four.

1289
00:59:41,920 --> 00:59:45,120
Speaker 3: Weeks, so he's gonna miss a month a lot with

1290
00:59:45,200 --> 00:59:45,600
Speaker 3: the team.

1291
00:59:46,080 --> 00:59:49,560
Speaker 4: It's also not good for his development as the basketball player. No,

1292
00:59:49,560 --> 00:59:50,640
Speaker 4: none of it is good.

1293
00:59:50,880 --> 00:59:53,520
Speaker 5: And I also would be curious, like if he was

1294
00:59:53,600 --> 00:59:56,400
Speaker 5: going to be on the Lakers full time, I assume

1295
00:59:56,400 --> 00:59:57,720
Speaker 5: he would still do road games.

1296
00:59:58,080 --> 01:00:01,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, so it's just it's the private charter. Yeah, it's

1297
01:00:01,520 --> 01:00:03,080
Speaker 3: that traveling situation.

1298
01:00:03,320 --> 01:00:06,080
Speaker 4: How that's but that's the optics. I don't know what else.

1299
01:00:06,040 --> 01:00:07,640
Speaker 2: You're right, it kind of has to be that.

1300
01:00:07,760 --> 01:00:10,280
Speaker 5: But that, but that, even if it is something else,

1301
01:00:10,920 --> 01:00:14,040
Speaker 5: it's the optics of it. And so it's not good.

1302
01:00:14,120 --> 01:00:16,720
Speaker 5: It's not good in any way, shape or form.

1303
01:00:16,840 --> 01:00:20,720
Speaker 2: No, it's it's a lose lose situation. You're already coming

1304
01:00:20,720 --> 01:00:24,840
Speaker 2: in as the goat's son. You get more special treatment

1305
01:00:25,040 --> 01:00:30,280
Speaker 2: than anybody else. I just we all know that this

1306
01:00:30,480 --> 01:00:36,440
Speaker 2: is for Lebron James and he is the greatest score

1307
01:00:36,680 --> 01:00:40,640
Speaker 2: of all time and he deserves to have this moment

1308
01:00:40,640 --> 01:00:42,400
Speaker 2: with his son. I think it's the reason we're still

1309
01:00:42,440 --> 01:00:45,520
Speaker 2: getting to watch Lebron play, because he made it very

1310
01:00:45,520 --> 01:00:47,480
Speaker 2: clear a few years ago that he wanted to play

1311
01:00:47,520 --> 01:00:50,720
Speaker 2: with his son. The Lakers were very clear, please don't

1312
01:00:50,800 --> 01:00:55,200
Speaker 2: draft Bronnie. We are going to draft him in the

1313
01:00:55,240 --> 01:00:55,800
Speaker 2: second round.

1314
01:00:55,960 --> 01:01:00,960
Speaker 3: And it's just I was so proud of how they

1315
01:01:01,000 --> 01:01:01,840
Speaker 3: handle the situation.

1316
01:01:02,440 --> 01:01:04,960
Speaker 2: They let them check in together, they had the first

1317
01:01:05,000 --> 01:01:07,560
Speaker 2: father son pass, they made history.

1318
01:01:07,560 --> 01:01:07,920
Speaker 3: It was a.

1319
01:01:07,840 --> 01:01:12,360
Speaker 2: Beautiful moment for the James family. Yes, and Lebron and Bronni.

1320
01:01:12,760 --> 01:01:17,360
Speaker 2: But this, I just, you're going to be a part

1321
01:01:17,400 --> 01:01:20,439
Speaker 2: time player and not travel with the G League team

1322
01:01:20,920 --> 01:01:24,120
Speaker 2: is just nepotism at its finest.

1323
01:01:24,880 --> 01:01:27,760
Speaker 5: It is very odd unless there is a health thing,

1324
01:01:27,760 --> 01:01:29,880
Speaker 5: because we know he's had Bronni has had health things.

1325
01:01:29,920 --> 01:01:32,800
Speaker 5: But I don't know that that makes sense. So I

1326
01:01:32,840 --> 01:01:36,840
Speaker 5: don't know. But optically it looks bad and it probably

1327
01:01:36,880 --> 01:01:39,000
Speaker 5: is what you think it is, U huh and and

1328
01:01:39,480 --> 01:01:42,720
Speaker 5: bad form and again brutal taking out even the teammate

1329
01:01:42,760 --> 01:01:44,240
Speaker 5: part of it. It's not good for him as a

1330
01:01:44,240 --> 01:01:46,240
Speaker 5: basketball player. He's not going to approve by missing a

1331
01:01:46,240 --> 01:01:46,960
Speaker 5: month of basketball.

1332
01:01:47,000 --> 01:01:47,720
Speaker 3: Absolutely not.

1333
01:01:48,480 --> 01:01:50,240
Speaker 2: That's weird, all right now, Let's check in with Martin

1334
01:01:50,240 --> 01:01:51,680
Speaker 2: Wise and see what's trending.

1335
01:01:55,200 --> 01:01:57,800
Speaker 9: Right now. Penn's staying with a twenty one to three

1336
01:01:57,920 --> 01:02:00,800
Speaker 9: lead entering into the second half right over Purdue.

1337
01:02:00,840 --> 01:02:04,040
Speaker 7: It's been it's been tough for Purdue to with the

1338
01:02:04,080 --> 01:02:07,280
Speaker 7: ball here as they're about to punt again. Halftime between

1339
01:02:07,400 --> 01:02:10,680
Speaker 7: Virginia and Notre Dame. Notre Dame making it elafforts twenty

1340
01:02:10,720 --> 01:02:12,240
Speaker 7: eight to nothing over the Cavaliers.

1341
01:02:12,440 --> 01:02:13,960
Speaker 9: Notre Dame a three team in the nation.

1342
01:02:14,440 --> 01:02:17,640
Speaker 7: Fourteenth threeth SMU has a twenty to fourteen lead over

1343
01:02:17,680 --> 01:02:21,560
Speaker 7: Boston College at halftime. The Louisville Cardinals with a twenty

1344
01:02:21,640 --> 01:02:24,400
Speaker 7: one to thirteen lead over the Stafford Cardinals. Just starting

1345
01:02:24,680 --> 01:02:27,680
Speaker 7: the second half there, Louisville with the ball. Halftime between

1346
01:02:27,800 --> 01:02:30,360
Speaker 7: LSU and Florida, the Tigers and the twenty second team

1347
01:02:30,400 --> 01:02:33,320
Speaker 7: in the nation terms of ranking. Their tie ten apiece

1348
01:02:33,800 --> 01:02:36,680
Speaker 7: late in the first half between Missouri and South Carolina

1349
01:02:36,840 --> 01:02:39,760
Speaker 7: still seven to six game, Cocks in the lead, but

1350
01:02:39,840 --> 01:02:42,000
Speaker 7: Missouri does have the ball first in goal in the

1351
01:02:42,040 --> 01:02:45,640
Speaker 7: red zone. Earlier today, what we saw we saw Texas

1352
01:02:45,720 --> 01:02:48,200
Speaker 7: number three team in the nation, beat Arkansas twenty to ten,

1353
01:02:48,480 --> 01:02:53,160
Speaker 7: Ohio State b Northwestern thirty one to seven, Colorado forty nine.

1354
01:02:53,240 --> 01:02:56,360
Speaker 7: You saw twenty four the Buffalo's seventeenth thirteen.

1355
01:02:56,080 --> 01:02:56,480
Speaker 9: In the nation.

1356
01:02:57,000 --> 01:02:59,720
Speaker 7: Clemson hanged hung on to beat Pittsburgh To's were a

1357
01:02:59,800 --> 01:03:02,040
Speaker 7: chance win it in the very last play of the game,

1358
01:03:02,080 --> 01:03:04,080
Speaker 7: but Clemson holds on twenty fourth to twenty.

1359
01:03:04,120 --> 01:03:06,439
Speaker 9: The Tigers moved to seven and one in acc play

1360
01:03:06,720 --> 01:03:09,120
Speaker 9: two lane, the green way of the twenty fifth raine

1361
01:03:09,160 --> 01:03:09,680
Speaker 9: team in the nation.

1362
01:03:09,800 --> 01:03:13,320
Speaker 7: Undefeated in American play. They stay that way after beating

1363
01:03:13,640 --> 01:03:17,560
Speaker 7: Navy thirty five to nothing. In the NFL, Christian Barmore

1364
01:03:18,080 --> 01:03:19,960
Speaker 7: is activated for the non football illness list.

1365
01:03:20,000 --> 01:03:21,280
Speaker 9: He should play on Sunday.

1366
01:03:21,360 --> 01:03:25,400
Speaker 7: The Patriots released wide receiver Tai Kwan Thornton after three seasons.

1367
01:03:25,640 --> 01:03:28,680
Speaker 7: The Browns of elevated Cadarius Tony from the practice wild

1368
01:03:28,720 --> 01:03:32,240
Speaker 7: for Tomorrow's game against the Saints. The Raiders activated Michael

1369
01:03:32,320 --> 01:03:35,480
Speaker 7: Meyer from the reserve list prior to Sunday's game. He

1370
01:03:35,520 --> 01:03:37,520
Speaker 7: had missed just about every game this week three with

1371
01:03:37,640 --> 01:03:41,080
Speaker 7: a personal issue. I see and also in college football,

1372
01:03:41,120 --> 01:03:44,240
Speaker 7: Kurt Signet, Indiana head coach. He agreed to an eight

1373
01:03:44,360 --> 01:03:47,680
Speaker 7: year contract extension. He has ten games in so far

1374
01:03:47,840 --> 01:03:50,520
Speaker 7: to his Indiana career. But when you start out ten

1375
01:03:50,560 --> 01:03:52,320
Speaker 7: and oero, they sign you up for eight more years.

1376
01:03:52,400 --> 01:03:56,840
Speaker 7: I guess eight million dollars annually. Who reported average value?

1377
01:03:56,920 --> 01:04:00,120
Speaker 7: There at one million dollar retention bonus each year. That

1378
01:04:00,240 --> 01:04:02,720
Speaker 7: contract will run through the end of the twenty.

1379
01:04:02,480 --> 01:04:05,960
Speaker 9: To thirty two season. Eight year, seventy two million dollars.

1380
01:04:06,240 --> 01:04:08,120
Speaker 3: Back to you guys, Thank you Martin.

1391
01:04:33,520 --> 01:04:37,960
Speaker 2: Bengals at Chargers Sunday Night Football. Jim Harbaugh already has

1392
01:04:38,080 --> 01:04:40,960
Speaker 2: the Chargers with more wins through nine games this season.

1393
01:04:41,120 --> 01:04:42,960
Speaker 3: Than they had all of last season.

1394
01:04:43,120 --> 01:04:44,160
Speaker 4: He's a national treasure.

1395
01:04:44,240 --> 01:04:47,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, says the mission girl over here. How impressive has

1396
01:04:47,560 --> 01:04:50,200
Speaker 3: this turnaround been with Harbaugh as a head coach.

1397
01:04:51,080 --> 01:04:53,560
Speaker 6: There are so many ways that he has elevated this

1398
01:04:53,760 --> 01:04:56,640
Speaker 6: Chargers program. I was at practice on Wednesday, and I

1399
01:04:56,760 --> 01:04:59,320
Speaker 6: covered this team a lot, right, I was there last season,

1400
01:05:00,080 --> 01:05:01,920
Speaker 6: the ups and downs. I've covered this team probably for

1401
01:05:02,000 --> 01:05:05,439
Speaker 6: four seasons now. There is such a different vibe even

1402
01:05:05,560 --> 01:05:08,960
Speaker 6: just hearing Justin Herbert speak on the podium, because Harva

1403
01:05:09,080 --> 01:05:11,760
Speaker 6: is not only improving this team on the field, but

1404
01:05:11,920 --> 01:05:15,680
Speaker 6: off the fields, and that is transformed this entire program.

1405
01:05:15,840 --> 01:05:19,120
Speaker 6: I'm so excited for this game because Justin Herbert he

1406
01:05:19,240 --> 01:05:21,760
Speaker 6: has not thrown an interception in seven straight games, the

1407
01:05:21,880 --> 01:05:25,400
Speaker 6: longest action streak in the NFL. That He's also performing

1408
01:05:25,480 --> 01:05:28,400
Speaker 6: at a high level since there bye week, averaging nearly

1409
01:05:28,800 --> 01:05:31,440
Speaker 6: twice as many passing yards since that bye week. I

1410
01:05:31,560 --> 01:05:33,960
Speaker 6: asked him about it this week, and remember he was

1411
01:05:34,040 --> 01:05:37,040
Speaker 6: on that ankle injury the first couple of weeks. He

1412
01:05:37,200 --> 01:05:39,880
Speaker 6: was playing through a high ankle's frame. Jim Harbaugh said,

1413
01:05:39,920 --> 01:05:41,920
Speaker 6: who even plays with a happened ankle? The only guy

1414
01:05:41,960 --> 01:05:44,640
Speaker 6: who does is Justin Herbert, like he loves this guy

1415
01:05:44,720 --> 01:05:48,000
Speaker 6: so much. But now that he's fully healthy and had

1416
01:05:48,240 --> 01:05:52,080
Speaker 6: more time in real games under new offensive coordinator Greg

1417
01:05:52,200 --> 01:05:56,840
Speaker 6: Roman's system, they are playing charger football that fans have

1418
01:05:57,000 --> 01:05:59,840
Speaker 6: been dreaming up. This is why they brought Jim Harbaugh here.

1419
01:06:00,240 --> 01:06:02,960
Speaker 6: And here's the thing. They're in a wild card position

1420
01:06:03,120 --> 01:06:06,240
Speaker 6: right now, but they need to play good football in

1421
01:06:06,400 --> 01:06:09,520
Speaker 6: November and December, and it starts Sunday night in primetime,

1422
01:06:09,600 --> 01:06:12,320
Speaker 6: a good test against the Bengals team that's much better

1423
01:06:12,400 --> 01:06:13,000
Speaker 6: than their record.

1424
01:06:14,160 --> 01:06:14,680
Speaker 3: Can you talk a.

1425
01:06:14,680 --> 01:06:16,560
Speaker 5: Little bit about jesse Minter and what he's done for

1426
01:06:16,640 --> 01:06:18,760
Speaker 5: the defense because so much, of course is made of

1427
01:06:18,920 --> 01:06:22,280
Speaker 5: Justin Herbert, but jesse Minter has transformed them as well.

1428
01:06:23,200 --> 01:06:26,120
Speaker 6: Absolutely. I actually got to talk with Khalil Mack about

1429
01:06:26,200 --> 01:06:29,760
Speaker 6: that this weekend in the locker room, and I was like,

1430
01:06:29,840 --> 01:06:31,880
Speaker 6: what's different, Like, of course, Khalil has been on the

1431
01:06:31,920 --> 01:06:34,640
Speaker 6: team the past couple of seasons and he's been, you know,

1432
01:06:34,880 --> 01:06:37,480
Speaker 6: on some of those teams where the defense hasn't been strong,

1433
01:06:37,560 --> 01:06:40,040
Speaker 6: and for them to now have the number one scoring defense,

1434
01:06:40,080 --> 01:06:42,360
Speaker 6: He's like, yes, he just does it in a way

1435
01:06:42,960 --> 01:06:45,880
Speaker 6: that is simple for us to understand. And he said

1436
01:06:45,960 --> 01:06:47,960
Speaker 6: like he's one of those guys that you don't want

1437
01:06:48,000 --> 01:06:50,960
Speaker 6: to mess up for, Like because of everything that he

1438
01:06:51,120 --> 01:06:55,080
Speaker 6: puts into this team, it almost makes them play harder.

1439
01:06:55,120 --> 01:06:57,760
Speaker 6: And I know that that's like sounds like, you know what,

1440
01:06:57,880 --> 01:07:01,840
Speaker 6: an NFL player really actually play differently based on the

1441
01:07:01,920 --> 01:07:04,360
Speaker 6: person they're playing for. But it's true, like when they have,

1442
01:07:05,320 --> 01:07:08,080
Speaker 6: you know, somebody that believes in them and they connect

1443
01:07:08,160 --> 01:07:10,600
Speaker 6: with you see it, and he's making it simple for them.

1444
01:07:10,920 --> 01:07:13,840
Speaker 6: They've set a season high already in sacks in the

1445
01:07:14,200 --> 01:07:18,440
Speaker 6: last three weeks. They have five sacks week six, or

1446
01:07:19,400 --> 01:07:22,120
Speaker 6: five sacks week eight, six sacks week nine, seven sacks

1447
01:07:22,160 --> 01:07:25,080
Speaker 6: week ten. I mean, they are playing at such an

1448
01:07:25,160 --> 01:07:29,120
Speaker 6: incredibly high level. And this is you know, it's funny

1449
01:07:29,200 --> 01:07:33,640
Speaker 6: because we've talked about Derwin James, Khalil Mack to Echu

1450
01:07:34,000 --> 01:07:37,360
Speaker 6: Pullo to you know, Joey Bosa, and you're like, this

1451
01:07:37,560 --> 01:07:39,640
Speaker 6: Chargers defense is supposed to be good. We've been saying

1452
01:07:39,680 --> 01:07:42,560
Speaker 6: that for three seasons. Well it's finally clicking. And I

1453
01:07:42,640 --> 01:07:45,640
Speaker 6: think that that in itself is just as exciting as

1454
01:07:45,720 --> 01:07:47,400
Speaker 6: what Justin Herbert's doing on offense.

1455
01:07:47,680 --> 01:07:51,600
Speaker 2: Now, you mentioned that Jim Harbaugh has improved this team

1456
01:07:51,800 --> 01:07:54,600
Speaker 2: not only on the field but off the field. Is

1457
01:07:54,640 --> 01:07:56,880
Speaker 2: that the culture you're talking about? And just I know

1458
01:07:56,960 --> 01:07:59,200
Speaker 2: you've spent four years with this team. Are people just

1459
01:07:59,280 --> 01:08:01,080
Speaker 2: having fun? Is it a mentality?

1460
01:08:01,200 --> 01:08:02,080
Speaker 3: Like what do you mean by that?

1461
01:08:02,760 --> 01:08:05,040
Speaker 6: Okay, So did you guys see the video of Justin

1462
01:08:05,080 --> 01:08:09,120
Speaker 6: Herbert geting the postgame speech when they won Sunday against

1463
01:08:09,120 --> 01:08:12,360
Speaker 6: the Titans. Yes, okay, So it's kind of funny because

1464
01:08:12,400 --> 01:08:15,000
Speaker 6: I wouldn't really call it a speech. Jim Harbaugh was

1465
01:08:15,040 --> 01:08:17,599
Speaker 6: like Justin talk and he was like, good job everyone,

1466
01:08:17,720 --> 01:08:19,559
Speaker 6: or like he said, like four words, it's just kind

1467
01:08:19,560 --> 01:08:21,599
Speaker 6: of fun. He joked about it this week and said,

1468
01:08:21,680 --> 01:08:23,840
Speaker 6: like you know, in high school and college, that's not

1469
01:08:24,000 --> 01:08:27,080
Speaker 6: something he was comfortable doing because he's just like, you know,

1470
01:08:27,160 --> 01:08:29,599
Speaker 6: you're thinking about everyone looking at you, you feel awkward.

1471
01:08:29,960 --> 01:08:32,760
Speaker 6: But Jim Harbor is putting him in those positions more

1472
01:08:32,840 --> 01:08:34,400
Speaker 6: and more. He's like the more I do it, the

1473
01:08:34,479 --> 01:08:36,920
Speaker 6: more normal I feel. He did kind of joke and

1474
01:08:37,000 --> 01:08:39,679
Speaker 6: say I probably should come up with something in case

1475
01:08:39,720 --> 01:08:42,040
Speaker 6: that happens again, that I have something top of mind.

1476
01:08:42,320 --> 01:08:44,679
Speaker 6: But you know, like I mentioned even at the podium,

1477
01:08:44,840 --> 01:08:48,040
Speaker 6: it's a different Justin Herbert, and that means so much

1478
01:08:48,120 --> 01:08:50,880
Speaker 6: when you're you know, he's an incredible athlete and he's

1479
01:08:50,920 --> 01:08:54,200
Speaker 6: a great guy, but he hasn't had I don't want

1480
01:08:54,240 --> 01:08:56,120
Speaker 6: to like miss him in any way, but he just

1481
01:08:56,240 --> 01:08:59,080
Speaker 6: hasn't expressed himself as a leader in some of the

1482
01:08:59,120 --> 01:09:02,880
Speaker 6: ways we've seen these other you know, bigger than like quarterbacks,

1483
01:09:03,120 --> 01:09:06,120
Speaker 6: and whether that matters or not, Jim Harbaugh's getting the

1484
01:09:06,200 --> 01:09:08,680
Speaker 6: most out of him by like telling him this is

1485
01:09:08,720 --> 01:09:11,320
Speaker 6: your team. Speak to the guys like it's your team.

1486
01:09:12,120 --> 01:09:15,720
Speaker 6: Speak with confidence, get comfortable being uncomfortable. And you see

1487
01:09:15,760 --> 01:09:17,519
Speaker 6: that with Herbert, but you see it with other players,

1488
01:09:17,560 --> 01:09:19,200
Speaker 6: and you see it in the locker room. Of course,

1489
01:09:19,479 --> 01:09:23,160
Speaker 6: the new facility wasn't just Jim Harbaugh's doing, but they

1490
01:09:23,240 --> 01:09:25,519
Speaker 6: have the ping pong table, they have the lockers set

1491
01:09:25,600 --> 01:09:28,920
Speaker 6: up numerically, so they're all meeting different kinds of people,

1492
01:09:29,040 --> 01:09:31,360
Speaker 6: not just people in their position rooms. I think it's

1493
01:09:31,439 --> 01:09:34,280
Speaker 6: just all of that together. Yeah, it's making it more

1494
01:09:34,360 --> 01:09:37,400
Speaker 6: fun and guys are just it's like they have a

1495
01:09:37,880 --> 01:09:39,960
Speaker 6: you know, take a deep breath this season.

1496
01:09:40,240 --> 01:09:40,439
Speaker 9: Yeah.

1497
01:09:40,880 --> 01:09:44,080
Speaker 5: Well, when you talk about fun and the podium, would

1498
01:09:44,120 --> 01:09:47,040
Speaker 5: you say that the Jim Harbaugh press conferences have added

1499
01:09:47,080 --> 01:09:50,120
Speaker 5: a little Genessee claw to the Chargers because that was

1500
01:09:50,160 --> 01:09:52,599
Speaker 5: something at Michigan. I mean, I wouldn't miss a Monday

1501
01:09:52,640 --> 01:09:54,840
Speaker 5: press conference, and I think we've se we see that,

1502
01:09:55,400 --> 01:09:57,639
Speaker 5: but that's part of it. Think what makes it fun

1503
01:09:58,200 --> 01:10:00,280
Speaker 5: and he makes the players laugh, they talk about it,

1504
01:10:00,360 --> 01:10:03,280
Speaker 5: and it feels like that contributes to the culture.

1505
01:10:04,080 --> 01:10:08,760
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think so. Podium Also him wearing cleats and gloves. Yeah,

1506
01:10:08,800 --> 01:10:12,360
Speaker 6: that's the same matching passes with his quarterback. But no, Jersey,

1507
01:10:12,439 --> 01:10:13,840
Speaker 6: I was thinking of you because I was in the

1508
01:10:14,400 --> 01:10:17,759
Speaker 6: podium room on Wednesday and I thought he was done speaking,

1509
01:10:17,840 --> 01:10:20,120
Speaker 6: so I like started asking a question and then he

1510
01:10:20,320 --> 01:10:22,599
Speaker 6: like kept talking and I was like, oh my god.

1511
01:10:22,640 --> 01:10:25,519
Speaker 6: I interrupted him. Like he is so hard to tell

1512
01:10:25,640 --> 01:10:28,600
Speaker 6: when he's done talking, because he's just someone who like

1513
01:10:28,920 --> 01:10:31,920
Speaker 6: goes on these tangents, pauses for a little bit, then

1514
01:10:32,000 --> 01:10:34,400
Speaker 6: says something out of left field, and you're like, I

1515
01:10:34,479 --> 01:10:37,000
Speaker 6: don't know when we can ask questions because you know,

1516
01:10:37,439 --> 01:10:39,120
Speaker 6: you never know what's going to come next out of

1517
01:10:39,160 --> 01:10:39,559
Speaker 6: his mouth.

1518
01:10:40,200 --> 01:10:42,320
Speaker 2: Now, let's talk about the other side, because the Bengals

1519
01:10:42,360 --> 01:10:44,920
Speaker 2: haven't had the season they've wanted so far, but they

1520
01:10:44,960 --> 01:10:47,720
Speaker 2: do get wide receiver Tie Higgins back tomorrow night.

1521
01:10:48,000 --> 01:10:50,200
Speaker 3: What kind of difference do you think he will make

1522
01:10:50,400 --> 01:10:51,439
Speaker 3: for this offense?

1523
01:10:52,280 --> 01:10:55,559
Speaker 6: Huge difference when you look at this Bangles offense. It's

1524
01:10:55,640 --> 01:10:58,880
Speaker 6: funny because Jamar Chase and Joe Burrow are leading the

1525
01:10:59,040 --> 01:11:02,879
Speaker 6: NFL like top five in both of their numerical metrics,

1526
01:11:03,600 --> 01:11:06,320
Speaker 6: and they don't have a record that shows it. The

1527
01:11:06,840 --> 01:11:09,840
Speaker 6: way that Joe Burrow and Jamar Chase and this team

1528
01:11:09,960 --> 01:11:12,519
Speaker 6: are going to get better and turn some of those

1529
01:11:12,600 --> 01:11:15,280
Speaker 6: high numbers into wins is having T Higgins on the field.

1530
01:11:15,479 --> 01:11:17,360
Speaker 6: When you're a defense and all you have to prepare

1531
01:11:17,439 --> 01:11:20,120
Speaker 6: for is Jamar Chase, you can double team him, you

1532
01:11:20,200 --> 01:11:23,519
Speaker 6: can you know, play him very tightly. It makes things

1533
01:11:23,640 --> 01:11:26,439
Speaker 6: challenging for him. But when you have someone like T Higgins,

1534
01:11:26,520 --> 01:11:29,760
Speaker 6: who is an incredible athlete himself, now you're trying to

1535
01:11:29,760 --> 01:11:32,320
Speaker 6: figure out, okay, how do we guard both these guys.

1536
01:11:32,360 --> 01:11:35,040
Speaker 6: Then you throw in Andre Josevash who's been playing great

1537
01:11:35,080 --> 01:11:38,439
Speaker 6: for them too, just another weapon on the field allows

1538
01:11:38,520 --> 01:11:41,360
Speaker 6: their offense to open the playbooks that much more and

1539
01:11:41,439 --> 01:11:44,400
Speaker 6: make things more complicated for this Chargers defense.

1540
01:11:45,240 --> 01:11:47,559
Speaker 5: You talked about the Chargers having to play good football

1541
01:11:47,600 --> 01:11:51,599
Speaker 5: in November in December, that feels the same, maybe times

1542
01:11:51,640 --> 01:11:53,120
Speaker 5: two for the Sangals team that.

1543
01:11:53,160 --> 01:11:56,960
Speaker 4: Has just really underperformed.

1544
01:11:56,360 --> 01:11:58,479
Speaker 5: And have lost some tough games, and so when you

1545
01:11:58,600 --> 01:12:01,640
Speaker 5: go into this game, it almost feels like almost a

1546
01:12:01,760 --> 01:12:03,560
Speaker 5: must win for the Bengals. Not to get dramatic, but

1547
01:12:03,640 --> 01:12:06,360
Speaker 5: it feels a little bit lighter. They're getting to that

1548
01:12:06,560 --> 01:12:08,599
Speaker 5: point and it would be if they could win. It's

1549
01:12:08,640 --> 01:12:09,960
Speaker 5: a statement on Sunday Night football.

1550
01:12:10,080 --> 01:12:13,519
Speaker 6: Yeah, exactly. The Bengals still have a chance. I mean

1551
01:12:14,080 --> 01:12:16,680
Speaker 6: it's slim, especially you know the division.

1552
01:12:16,360 --> 01:12:16,800
Speaker 1: That they're in.

1553
01:12:17,439 --> 01:12:20,439
Speaker 6: But after this game, you have the Steelers again. You

1554
01:12:20,680 --> 01:12:24,840
Speaker 6: have the Steelers twice actually, so like you know, looking

1555
01:12:24,840 --> 01:12:27,519
Speaker 6: at their schedule, though it's doable. They have the Cowboys doable,

1556
01:12:27,880 --> 01:12:32,320
Speaker 6: Tightens doable, Browns doable, Broncos doable. So if you win

1557
01:12:32,479 --> 01:12:35,160
Speaker 6: for those four games, maybe split with the Steelers and

1558
01:12:35,800 --> 01:12:38,080
Speaker 6: win this one of the Chargers, you can sneak in

1559
01:12:38,240 --> 01:12:41,680
Speaker 6: with a wild card, but it starts Sunday night. You

1560
01:12:42,000 --> 01:12:44,360
Speaker 6: have to get that win. And I think you've seen

1561
01:12:44,439 --> 01:12:47,280
Speaker 6: the frustration from Joe Burrow talking about he needs to

1562
01:12:47,320 --> 01:12:50,000
Speaker 6: play perfect football. I mean, the guy's playing out of

1563
01:12:50,040 --> 01:12:53,280
Speaker 6: his mind. It's crazy to say that because the stats

1564
01:12:53,320 --> 01:12:56,280
Speaker 6: don't align again with the record, but I think They're

1565
01:12:56,400 --> 01:12:58,759
Speaker 6: so close, and when people want to count out the Bengals,

1566
01:12:58,800 --> 01:13:00,880
Speaker 6: I'm not ready to do that yet. I think that

1567
01:13:01,000 --> 01:13:04,400
Speaker 6: they still they always start slow, and it was a

1568
01:13:04,439 --> 01:13:06,960
Speaker 6: little slower this year than in seasons past, but they're

1569
01:13:07,200 --> 01:13:09,400
Speaker 6: right in there. And if you can knock off a

1570
01:13:09,960 --> 01:13:13,200
Speaker 6: number one scoring defense in this Chargers team, I think

1571
01:13:13,200 --> 01:13:15,160
Speaker 6: it's going to make things really interesting for the rest

1572
01:13:15,200 --> 01:13:15,679
Speaker 6: of the season.

1573
01:13:15,960 --> 01:13:17,880
Speaker 2: So what are you expecting from this game tomorrow? Are

1574
01:13:17,920 --> 01:13:20,400
Speaker 2: you able to give us like a game pick or

1575
01:13:20,439 --> 01:13:22,160
Speaker 2: what you think how close it's going to be.

1576
01:13:23,160 --> 01:13:24,720
Speaker 6: I can't give you a game pick, but I can

1577
01:13:24,840 --> 01:13:27,920
Speaker 6: say I think it's going to be high scoring. I

1578
01:13:28,000 --> 01:13:30,800
Speaker 6: mean what I saw from Joe Burrow and Jamar Chase

1579
01:13:31,080 --> 01:13:34,040
Speaker 6: against that Ravens game, I thought for sure they were

1580
01:13:34,080 --> 01:13:35,519
Speaker 6: going to win it. I mean they were leading and

1581
01:13:35,600 --> 01:13:38,080
Speaker 6: then the Ravens came back, and you know, then they

1582
01:13:38,120 --> 01:13:40,000
Speaker 6: went for two at the end, didn't get it and

1583
01:13:40,360 --> 01:13:43,559
Speaker 6: lost by one point. That is stuck in their mind

1584
01:13:43,640 --> 01:13:45,759
Speaker 6: now for ten days, because remember that was a Thursday

1585
01:13:45,840 --> 01:13:49,400
Speaker 6: night game. Joe at the podium just has something in

1586
01:13:49,479 --> 01:13:53,160
Speaker 6: his eye like he's pissed off. So I don't I

1587
01:13:53,160 --> 01:13:56,400
Speaker 6: think they're going to come out swinging stee Higgins's back.

1588
01:13:56,560 --> 01:13:59,360
Speaker 6: That obviously is going to be huge. But then again

1589
01:13:59,400 --> 01:14:03,200
Speaker 6: you look at this, yeah, and I know that's why

1590
01:14:03,200 --> 01:14:04,640
Speaker 6: I'm like this again if this is the game of

1591
01:14:04,680 --> 01:14:06,600
Speaker 6: the week, Like, honestly, I'm pumped to be there and

1592
01:14:06,680 --> 01:14:08,080
Speaker 6: we're lucky to have it here in Soco.

1593
01:14:08,840 --> 01:14:10,760
Speaker 3: Bridget, thank you so much for joining us. That was

1594

Speaker 8: gonna you know what, even though Karmen's not here, but

1611
01:14:57,680 --> 01:14:58,639
Speaker 8: she's met in her picks.

1612
01:14:58,680 --> 01:15:00,880
Speaker 3: Though right she did send I told her, I told

1613
01:15:00,960 --> 01:15:03,640
Speaker 3: to send them to you. I do have them recorded

1614
01:15:03,760 --> 01:15:05,840
Speaker 3: for this upcoming I did not do as great as

1615
01:15:05,840 --> 01:15:06,960
Speaker 3: I normally do last week.

1616
01:15:07,240 --> 01:15:10,439
Speaker 8: Here's the good thing about that, though, Alex. Okay, both

1617
01:15:10,520 --> 01:15:14,120
Speaker 8: you and Carmen have the same record at three and two.

1618
01:15:15,120 --> 01:15:19,080
Speaker 8: We are breaking even as we say, wow, current record

1619
01:15:19,200 --> 01:15:23,120
Speaker 8: right now thirty three and twenty one for you, Alex,

1620
01:15:23,200 --> 01:15:26,040
Speaker 8: our fearless leader, and twenty eight and twenty six. Okay,

1621
01:15:26,560 --> 01:15:28,880
Speaker 8: we maybe not tell Carmen when she comes back, but

1622
01:15:29,040 --> 01:15:30,559
Speaker 8: you have a five point lead.

1623
01:15:30,439 --> 01:15:34,360
Speaker 3: On her right now, so heyo, okay, Okay.

1624
01:15:34,280 --> 01:15:36,719
Speaker 8: Well we're gonna start their first game of this coming

1625
01:15:36,760 --> 01:15:39,360
Speaker 8: week minus Carman who has her picks.

1626
01:15:39,160 --> 01:15:42,360
Speaker 3: In, but Alex, who is our fearless leader.

1627
01:15:42,439 --> 01:15:45,680
Speaker 8: It is a Packers five and a half point favorites

1628
01:15:46,240 --> 01:15:49,040
Speaker 8: on the road taking on the Chicago Bears and Alex

1629
01:15:49,680 --> 01:15:50,240
Speaker 8: not Bears.

1630
01:15:50,320 --> 01:15:51,040
Speaker 9: What are we feeling?

1631
01:15:51,360 --> 01:15:53,640
Speaker 3: I mean, Packers all the way, babe. The Bears are

1632
01:15:53,680 --> 01:15:54,519
Speaker 3: a hot mess right now.

1633
01:15:54,680 --> 01:15:57,439
Speaker 2: Kayleb Williams is having some rookie struggles he has an

1634
01:15:57,560 --> 01:16:01,400
Speaker 2: NFL high thirty eight sacks. They just fired their offensive

1635
01:16:01,439 --> 01:16:03,960
Speaker 2: coordinator this year. I don't know what they think a

1636
01:16:04,080 --> 01:16:08,320
Speaker 2: mid season OC change is gonna do. And the Packers

1637
01:16:08,320 --> 01:16:11,439
Speaker 2: are coming off of bye they're well rested. I just

1638
01:16:12,040 --> 01:16:14,439
Speaker 2: I think this is gonna be a brutal a brutal

1639
01:16:14,479 --> 01:16:14,800
Speaker 2: beat down.

1640
01:16:14,960 --> 01:16:17,679
Speaker 8: A brutal beatdown. Well, you know what Carmen would agree

1641
01:16:17,880 --> 01:16:20,320
Speaker 8: with what she put the Packers on hers as well.

1642
01:16:20,360 --> 01:16:23,320
Speaker 4: Okay, Tracy, a brutal beat down by the Packers.

1643
01:16:25,080 --> 01:16:28,559
Speaker 8: We're going three for three on the Packers. Everybody, let's

1644
01:16:28,600 --> 01:16:31,479
Speaker 8: go well number two this one. There could be a

1645
01:16:31,520 --> 01:16:34,839
Speaker 8: little bit of back and forth. We have the Ravens

1646
01:16:35,280 --> 01:16:37,280
Speaker 8: three and a half point favorites on the road taking

1647
01:16:37,360 --> 01:16:42,599
Speaker 8: on the Pittsburgh Steelers. Alex, what are we feeling here?

1648
01:16:43,680 --> 01:16:47,439
Speaker 2: I mean, it's so tough because both of these teams

1649
01:16:47,479 --> 01:16:51,040
Speaker 2: have been on a roll. The Steelers have Lamar's number.

1650
01:16:51,240 --> 01:16:53,280
Speaker 2: We talked about this earlier in the show. Lamar is

1651
01:16:53,880 --> 01:16:56,120
Speaker 2: one in three against the Steelers and he has more

1652
01:16:56,200 --> 01:16:59,640
Speaker 2: interceptions than touchdowns against the Steelers. It's just one of

1653
01:16:59,680 --> 01:17:04,479
Speaker 2: those teams that has them figured out. But I also

1654
01:17:05,000 --> 01:17:09,439
Speaker 2: think that Lamar breaks breaks the curse this time around

1655
01:17:09,479 --> 01:17:10,200
Speaker 2: and gets the win.

1656
01:17:10,520 --> 01:17:11,519
Speaker 1: So I'm going with.

1657
01:17:11,640 --> 01:17:14,120
Speaker 3: Lamar and the Ravens. Ravens.

1658
01:17:14,160 --> 01:17:16,439
Speaker 5: What about you, Tracy, I'm picking it, I said, I

1659
01:17:16,520 --> 01:17:18,840
Speaker 5: did say it earlier. My guy tells me this is

1660
01:17:19,000 --> 01:17:23,760
Speaker 5: the Ravens game and that Lamar will will finally Well,

1661
01:17:23,800 --> 01:17:25,519
Speaker 5: I guess he's beaten them the one time, but they'll

1662
01:17:25,520 --> 01:17:28,000
Speaker 5: get his second win against them. So I actually am

1663
01:17:28,160 --> 01:17:30,880
Speaker 5: going for the Ravens on this one.

1664
01:17:31,040 --> 01:17:31,840
Speaker 4: Wow, that's tough one.

1665
01:17:31,920 --> 01:17:33,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, that is you know what again?

1666
01:17:33,520 --> 01:17:38,639
Speaker 8: Three for three? Carmen also nas snap, Okay, fine, let's

1667
01:17:38,680 --> 01:17:42,840
Speaker 8: go a little harder show. We got the Chiefs buffalo

1668
01:17:43,280 --> 01:17:46,200
Speaker 8: for the bills. Bills are two point favorites. Yeah, Alex,

1669
01:17:46,320 --> 01:17:47,519
Speaker 8: take it away. Who are we going here?

1670
01:17:47,600 --> 01:17:49,800
Speaker 3: It's such a coin flip. And I even reached out.

1671
01:17:50,200 --> 01:17:51,639
Speaker 2: I don't know if I call it cheating, I'd say

1672
01:17:51,680 --> 01:17:55,120
Speaker 2: doing my research, I reached out to Cynthia Freelan, the

1673
01:17:55,280 --> 01:17:59,080
Speaker 2: data numbers analytics expert for NFL Network, and I asked her,

1674
01:17:59,120 --> 01:18:00,840
Speaker 2: what do the numbers tell you? She said it's fifty

1675
01:18:00,840 --> 01:18:04,839
Speaker 2: to fifty, So it really is a coin flip. Everything

1676
01:18:04,880 --> 01:18:08,200
Speaker 2: in my body wants to pick the bills. Since Josh

1677
01:18:08,280 --> 01:18:11,200
Speaker 2: Allen is three and one against Mahomes in the regular season,

1678
01:18:11,240 --> 01:18:14,479
Speaker 2: but the Chiefs are undefeated and an underdog in this game,

1679
01:18:14,520 --> 01:18:17,439
Speaker 2: which is always insane motivation for Patrick Mahomes.

1680
01:18:17,560 --> 01:18:21,840
Speaker 3: And they're undefeated. I am not betting. I just I

1681
01:18:21,920 --> 01:18:22,320
Speaker 3: can't do it.

1682
01:18:22,400 --> 01:18:24,599
Speaker 2: I can't get myself to bet against Patrick Mahomes yet,

1683
01:18:24,640 --> 01:18:25,559
Speaker 2: so I'm taking the Chiefs.

1684
01:18:26,560 --> 01:18:28,960
Speaker 5: That's the rule to live by. I used to say,

1685
01:18:28,960 --> 01:18:31,600
Speaker 5: I know, never get bet bet against Tom Brady. I

1686
01:18:32,000 --> 01:18:34,559
Speaker 5: don't like to bet against Patrick Mahomes either, and I'm sorry,

1687
01:18:34,600 --> 01:18:35,400
Speaker 5: I'm gonna pick them two.

1688
01:18:35,439 --> 01:18:36,599
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, Josh Allen.

1689
01:18:36,479 --> 01:18:39,639
Speaker 8: Really, I am, well, we got two and a one

1690
01:18:39,720 --> 01:18:43,000
Speaker 8: here because Carmen is going to bet against Mahomes.

1691
01:18:43,040 --> 01:18:44,120
Speaker 3: She's picking the Bills on this.

1692
01:18:44,240 --> 01:18:48,320
Speaker 8: One course, yes, guards indeed, Well let's going number four here.

1693
01:18:48,439 --> 01:18:51,920
Speaker 8: We have my Seattle Seahawks HU taking on the San

1694
01:18:51,960 --> 01:18:54,760
Speaker 8: Francisco forty nine Ers, who are six and a half

1695
01:18:54,880 --> 01:18:56,880
Speaker 8: point favorite, and I already know we're gonna lose.

1696
01:18:57,439 --> 01:18:59,320
Speaker 3: Alex, what do you feel I mean, it's the forty

1697
01:18:59,400 --> 01:19:00,880
Speaker 3: nine ers on the up and up.

1698
01:19:01,040 --> 01:19:03,680
Speaker 2: I feel like they're fighting for that top spot in

1699
01:19:03,760 --> 01:19:06,680
Speaker 2: the NFC West and they need this big division win.

1700
01:19:06,720 --> 01:19:07,559
Speaker 3: If they're going to get there.

1701
01:19:08,200 --> 01:19:10,439
Speaker 5: I am picking the forty nine ers, but I have

1702
01:19:10,520 --> 01:19:14,840
Speaker 5: a caveat. Okay, if Trent Williams doesn't play then and

1703
01:19:15,040 --> 01:19:17,080
Speaker 5: he is questionable the Bankle injury.

1704
01:19:18,479 --> 01:19:20,880
Speaker 4: If he doesn't play, I think the Seahawks have a shot.

1705
01:19:21,120 --> 01:19:26,960
Speaker 3: Oh, I like the caveat. Yeah, for everybody, like anybody

1706
01:19:27,080 --> 01:19:30,240
Speaker 3: not to play, but you're like, you know it.

1707
01:19:30,320 --> 01:19:32,559
Speaker 4: If he doesn't play, it's not that allay.

1708
01:19:32,840 --> 01:19:34,720
Speaker 8: And with that, Carmen also picked the Niners. We have

1709
01:19:34,760 --> 01:19:37,200
Speaker 8: another three for here. The final one we got going on.

1710
01:19:37,439 --> 01:19:42,960
Speaker 8: It's the Bengals taking on the Los Angeles Chargers in LA,

1711
01:19:43,280 --> 01:19:46,640
Speaker 8: who are one and a half point favorites. Alex can

1712
01:19:46,720 --> 01:19:48,240
Speaker 8: get the final call here. Where are we going?

1713
01:19:49,800 --> 01:19:54,560
Speaker 3: I mean, Bengals are getting t Higgins back. Chargers have

1714
01:19:54,760 --> 01:19:57,639
Speaker 3: been on a roll, They're on a three game win streak.

1715
01:19:57,960 --> 01:20:00,479
Speaker 3: They're at home. It's Sunday Night football.

1716
01:20:02,040 --> 01:20:04,479
Speaker 2: I haven't I haven't fully picked this one yet. I've

1717
01:20:04,600 --> 01:20:05,720
Speaker 2: just this was I was supposed to.

1718
01:20:05,960 --> 01:20:13,840
Speaker 12: Ah, I'm going to burrow in the Bengals. Burrow in

1719
01:20:13,840 --> 01:20:16,320
Speaker 12: the Bengals, burrown the Bengals. Carmen tack the Bengals too.

1720
01:20:16,720 --> 01:20:19,639
Speaker 4: I'm going Chargers because I'll never root against Jim Harva.

1721
01:20:20,080 --> 01:20:22,360
