9
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 1: to the Richard Sherman Podcast. And you know what time

10
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:35,080
Speaker 1: it is, Mitchell the Divisional Round previews and we have

11
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 1: some fantastic matchups going on this weekend. Obviously, the conversation

12
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:44,560
Speaker 1: is the short week again for the San Francisco forty

13
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:47,839
Speaker 1: nine ers playing on Saturday after just battling it out

14
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:52,519
Speaker 1: with the Philadelphia Eagles in Philadelphia on Sunday. There's a

15
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 1: lot of a lot of conjecture and conversation about that, Mitchell,

16
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 1: a lot of frustration, but that's usually when the one

17
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 1: seed's playing. You know, you could save yourself a lot

18
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 1: of time and a lot of headache if you get

19
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:05,400
Speaker 1: the one seed, and that's what the Seattle Seahawks were

20
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 1: able to do. So it is what it is to me.

21
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:09,759
Speaker 1: You know, it's one of those things you just gotta

22
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 1: deal with. You gotta you win your games. You win,

23
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 1: you move on, You deal with the circumstances that you're

24
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:16,960
Speaker 1: the hand that you dealt of sorts. But it's great

25
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:21,040
Speaker 1: to see Fred Warner opening his practice window. That's what

26
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 1: I would have expected from them if he had any

27
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 1: chance of playing at all during these playoffs, is during

28
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 1: this divisional game, them opening his window and just seeing

29
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 1: what he got, you know, maybe maybe having him do

30
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 1: some some some practice squad reps, some scout team reps,

31
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 1: uh and and just getting his legs back under him,

32
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 1: sprinting around, uh, you know, getting his shoulder pads, getting

33
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 1: some real live contact, which is which is all the

34
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 1: things you need to see from a veteran player in

35
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 1: order to see if he can actually play this game

36
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 1: at a high level, because you do not want to

37
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 1: walk into a playoff game with a lamp or gimp

38
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 1: or or or trying to compensate, uh for for a

39
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 1: body part that isn't working properly. And that's that's what

40
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 1: I'm sure the San Francisco forty nine ers are wary

41
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 1: about in that situation. But it's cool to see him working.

42
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 2: Out, no question about it.

43
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,080
Speaker 3: If nothing else, it's a rally boost to the team

44
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 3: that seems to have lost all their stars. I mean,

45
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 3: we see George Kittle go out with a gruesome injury

46
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 3: that you know all too well about the Achilles Richard,

47
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 3: Did you have any conversations with George at all after that?

48
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:21,079
Speaker 4: Yeah?

49
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, we text probably about twenty thirty minutes after

50
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 1: he went to the locker room, and just different surgeons

51
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 1: and things like that, and you know, try to help

52
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 1: him make an educated decision about that, but he'll be fine.

53
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 1: Technology with Achilles has has has gotten better and better

54
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:44,080
Speaker 1: and better every year, which is why Aaron Rodgers was

55
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 1: able to come back so quickly from his even within

56
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 1: the same season that he tours a I mean tours Achilles.

57
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:54,359
Speaker 1: So you know, technology has advanced, and I don't I'm

58
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,519
Speaker 1: not sure, you know, I can't speak for any timelines

59
00:02:56,600 --> 00:03:00,240
Speaker 1: or anything of that nature, and I won't speculate, but

60
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,079
Speaker 1: I definitely don't think we've seen the last.

61
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,360
Speaker 4: Of George Kittle by any any stretch of imagination.

62
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 3: How much does an injury like him, losing a guy

63
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 3: like that the heart and soul, you know, really whether

64
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 3: he's catching the ball or not. He's a huge contributor

65
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 3: in their run game with his physicality and blocking. How

66
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 3: much of an impact is losing him going to have

67
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,119
Speaker 3: on the forty nine ers. They've been able to overcome

68
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 3: these injuries all season long, but at what point, you know,

69
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 3: does it become a breaking point? Because George kittle Man,

70
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 3: that is the that is the blood of this offense.

71
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 3: You know, like I said, man, how big of an

72
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 3: impact is that going to play in this game?

73
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 4: Well? I don't know.

74
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 1: I mean because they they you know, they've spent a

75
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 1: lot of the season without him, with a lot of

76
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 1: without a lot of their star powers. So they have

77
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 1: to play the first game against the Seattle Seahawks without him.

78
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 1: He got injured in that game and heard his hamstring

79
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 1: early in the season. So I think this team is

80
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 1: weathered every storm and at this point it's all the

81
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 1: same to him. You know, they know it's going to

82
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 1: be hard regardless of who's out there, and they know

83
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 1: whoever's out there is gonna have to do their best

84
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 1: versus an incredibly formidable opponent in the Seattle Seahawks, who

85
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 1: are playing these guys on a back to back. You know,

86
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 1: which is rare in the National Football League that you

87
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 1: play a team, then have a weak break, and then

88
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 1: play the same team. I mean, it's happened a few

89
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 1: times throughout the season, throughout the years. But that's gonna

90
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 1: be interesting in my in my opinion, I see that

91
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 1: hard Rock has spread at seven and a half points,

92
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 1: and I don't agree with that. I don't agree with that.

93
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:35,160
Speaker 1: This is a division game given either team, seven and

94
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 1: a half points is insanity. So if I, if you're

95
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 1: a gambling man, that's a I would I'd put some

96
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 1: money on that because this is gonna be a dogfight

97
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,359
Speaker 1: of a game. It was a dog fight the last

98
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 1: time UH and the Seattle Seahawks made plays down the stretch.

99
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 1: They they got a critical interception in the red zone

100
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:56,599
Speaker 1: when Christian McCaffrey dropped the football and so that was

101
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 1: the turning point of that football game. And obviously they

102
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 1: miss field goals and then like that. But this is

103
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 1: a different San Francisco forty nine ers team with with

104
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 1: UH with Gallo and and and Kendricks in the lineup

105
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:11,600
Speaker 1: at linebacker, because they're just playing sound discipline football. It's

106
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 1: not about being the extraordinary things. It's doing the detailed things,

107
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 1: doing your job, being where you're supposed to be in coverage,

108
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 1: being in the gap you're supposed to be in a

109
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 1: run game, calling the right you know, strength calls and

110
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 1: things like that. And Kendricks did a really good job

111
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 1: against the Philadelphia Eagles just being where he's supposed to

112
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:32,040
Speaker 1: be sound tackling football. I don't think he missed the

113
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: tackling the game. And Gallo was was running sideline sideline

114
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 1: and making an impact, and I think that's gonna be

115
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:41,719
Speaker 1: a big difference in this game. I think they're gonna

116
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 1: they're gonna help with, you know, some of the issues

117
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 1: that were prevalent in the last game against the Seattle Seahawks,

118
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 1: where Kenneth Walker had a lot of success. He had

119
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 1: that third and seventeen run sharper and they had some success.

120
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 1: And I still think the Seattle Seahawks defense is going

121
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 1: to be a huge issue for the San Francisco forty

122
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 1: nine Ers. Brought party in. The San Francisco forty nine

123
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 1: Ers offense, number one league on third down, could not

124
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 1: manage to convert. I think they were they they were

125
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 1: really bad in that game. I think twenty six, twenty

126
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,239
Speaker 1: seven percent in that game, and the Seattle Seahawks defense

127
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:16,840
Speaker 1: was the reason. Their front gave them a lot of

128
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 1: problems in the run game. They were stout and it

129
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 1: was Byron Murphy and Jaron Reid and Leonard Williams and

130
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:27,720
Speaker 1: DeMarcus Lawrence and you name it. Guys hard to move.

131
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:29,920
Speaker 1: They're double teaming them and they can't move them. And

132
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 1: that's gonna have to change in this game. Obviously, Trent

133
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 1: Williams went out in that game. He will be back

134
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 1: for this this rematch, so that'll make a difference in

135
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:39,160
Speaker 1: a game. But it's gonna be a dog fight. This

136
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 1: is gonna be an absolute doll fight. We get to see

137
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 1: Sam Darnold in another playoff game and see how he responds. Obviously,

138
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,839
Speaker 1: we all know the conversation that surrounded him last playoffs

139
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 1: with with Minnesota Vikings and how that played out. And

140
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,159
Speaker 1: he has a chance to redeem himself in a huge

141
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 1: way against a division opponent. And you know how these

142
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks San Francisco playoff games, Goo mitchell I do.

143
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:04,280
Speaker 4: I definitely know how they go.

144
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,840
Speaker 1: And so it's gonna be it's gonna be a it's

145
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 1: gonna be fireworks. It's gonna be running and hitting. It's

146
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 1: gonna be physical. You better bring your hard head. And

147
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 1: if you put your kids away, this is gonna be

148
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 1: It's gonna be rated our physicality. This is gonna be

149
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 1: the kind of physicality it makes kids uncomfortable, because I

150
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 1: know the Seattle Seahawks defense is gonna be running a

151
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 1: hidden and I know the San Francisco forty nine Ers

152
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 1: defense is gonna play with desperation the entire game. This

153
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 1: has been one of the top scoring offenses in the

154
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 1: league in the Seattle Seahawks, and this San Francisco forty

155
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 1: nine Ers defense played one of their best games against

156
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 1: the Sea Seattle Seahawks in the second half. I would

157
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 1: say in the second half they played a lot better.

158
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 1: And then they continued that play against the Philadelphia Eagles,

159
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 1: the defending champs, and I think that gave them some confidence.

160
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 1: So I can't imagine this being a seven and a

161
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 1: half point spread. If this is a seven and a

162
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 1: half point spread, that that's crazy and one of these

163
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 1: teams didn't show up. But I don't think it's gonna

164
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 1: be seven points at all. And I think that line

165
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 1: will change as you get closer to Gay.

166
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 3: You know, I know, gambling has certainly gained a new,

167
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 3: I guess level of popularity now that it's been legalized

168
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 3: in a number of states. And to that point, Richard Lake,

169
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 3: you think brock Purty looks at this and has it

170
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 3: even bigger chip out of his shoulder. He's already mister irrelevant,

171
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 3: but now they have him as a seven and a

172
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 3: half point dog going into Seattle, a team that he knows.

173
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 2: Very very well.

174
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 3: Do you think that the players in the forty nine

175
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,559
Speaker 3: ers locker room look at that and almost feel disrespected.

176
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:37,199
Speaker 4: I'm not sure. I don't think they do.

177
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 1: I know we didn't really look at them unless it

178
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 1: was something insane.

179
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 4: But you know, maybe it's billboardon material.

180
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 1: Maybe it's you know, I mean, bulletin board material, and

181
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 1: guys will read it, and guys will get hyped up.

182
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 1: But when you're talking about the San Francisco forty nine

183
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 1: Ers against the Seattle Seahawks, I don't care if it's preseason,

184
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,320
Speaker 1: regular season, postseason, or off season.

185
00:08:59,000 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 4: Mitchell.

186
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 1: It's on site, so it's not like they need in

187
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 1: either team needs any bulletin board material.

188
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 4: Mitchell.

189
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:10,200
Speaker 1: There's enough just normal everyday hate for one another that

190
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 1: you're gonna see in this game.

191
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:15,560
Speaker 3: So I've been exposed to such a different side of

192
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 3: this rivalry, Richard, because you and I have worked together,

193
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 3: been friends for so long. I was rooting for the

194
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 3: Seahawks for a number of years. Then you go to

195
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:25,560
Speaker 3: the Niners, and now I see in the comments section

196
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 3: everyone is so darn confused, you know, man, you see

197
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 3: it time after time. I never, as a forty nine

198
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,720
Speaker 3: er fan, would ever imagine myself rooting for Richard Sherman

199
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 3: or agreeing with what he says and vice versa with

200
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:38,199
Speaker 3: the Seattle Seahawks.

201
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:38,839
Speaker 2: And here you are.

202
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 3: You're that combining force, right, the neutrality, If you will,

203
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 3: everyone come together and hold hands during this game. No

204
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 3: one's gonna be holding hands in this game, though, Richard.

205
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 3: It's gonna be a bloodbath. And like you said, let's

206
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:52,559
Speaker 3: talk a little bit more about Seahawks. We talked a

207
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 3: lot about the Niners. What do the Seattle Seahawks have

208
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:58,559
Speaker 3: to do? Obviously they had the week off, an opportunity

209
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 3: to prepare, sit down. Sure, this is a matchup they wanted.

210
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:03,200
Speaker 3: I mean, the Niners are on record for saying this

211
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 3: is a matchup they wanted. I'm sure the Seattle Seahawks

212
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:09,320
Speaker 3: want them as well. You know, what is Seattle gonna

213
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 3: do specifically offensively in their plan of attack. We've seen

214
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 3: Kenneth Walker get involved more. We you know, we've been

215
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,959
Speaker 3: peppering them for most of the season about their run game,

216
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 3: and over the last couple of games, Kenneth Walker and

217
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 3: Zach Charboney have really shown up. How much do you

218
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:25,680
Speaker 3: think the Seattle Seahawks are going to be leaning on

219
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 3: the run. What level of jasang going to be involved?

220
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:32,319
Speaker 3: You know how much pressure is on Sam Darnold after

221
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 3: last season's performance otherwise great season in Minnesota. There's so

222
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 3: many storylines here. Where's your head going?

223
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 1: It's first off, they're gonna have to run the football.

224
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 1: That's gonna be the biggest thing. If they can't run

225
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 1: the football in this game, and nothing's to tell me

226
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 1: they can't because they were able to the last time

227
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 1: these two games, these two teams play. Obviously, when you

228
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 1: play again on such short notice, adjustments are made. And

229
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 1: again these are grown men. This is a will will

230
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:03,719
Speaker 1: to will kind of deal. When the Seattle Seahawks won

231
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 1: that game, they got to they got the bragg and Rice,

232
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 1: they got to celebrate.

233
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 4: They got to talk.

234
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 1: They're talk and I don't think they expected to see

235
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 1: him the following game and have to see them again,

236
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 1: but they will and and you know what I mean,

237
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 1: I think that's gonna be the clash.

238
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 4: But if they're not able to run.

239
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:21,559
Speaker 1: The football as well as they were it as well

240
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:24,680
Speaker 1: as they did in the first half, Sam Donald's gonna

241
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 1: have to push the ball down the field. JSN has

242
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:30,680
Speaker 1: been magnificent down the field, but for some reason, for

243
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 1: some reason, they haven't been able to get Rashichi heat

244
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 1: involved down the field. The thing he does, as good

245
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 1: or as anybody in the National Football League is a

246
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:41,440
Speaker 1: deep threat. Put the ball as far as you can

247
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 1: and give him a chance to run under it. And

248
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's just because of a chemistry

249
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 1: deal between him and Sam Donald, are just schematically that

250
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,200
Speaker 1: they want to just keep things intermediate and keep it

251
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 1: controlled and walk the ball down the field. But I

252
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 1: think they're gonna have to take more shots in this game.

253
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 1: And again there is pressure on Sam Donald. But when

254
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 1: you have a great defense like the Seattle Seahawks do,

255
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:07,079
Speaker 1: you can get away with more. We saw it the

256
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 1: other day with the Houston Texans. There were some mistakes

257
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 1: made by c. J. Stroud, some unfortunate plays, and his

258
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:15,719
Speaker 1: defense bailed him out. They end up winning a game

259
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 1: by twenty four points, and he had five fumbles an

260
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 1: interception in the game. And again, when you feel like

261
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 1: you have that safety blanket of a great defense, it

262
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 1: allows you more freedom and to be more cavalier with

263
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 1: the football. Not that you want to put the ball

264
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 1: in danger, but it gives you a bit more cushion

265
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 1: in brevity to do so. And I think that's what

266
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 1: I believe Sam Donald's gonna feel is that, hey, I

267
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,320
Speaker 1: can be a little bit more aggressive with the football

268
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 1: in this game and know that, hey, we got one

269
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,440
Speaker 1: of the best defenses in the National Football League backing

270
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 1: me up. And this, outside of a few drives in

271
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 1: that game, this San Francisco forty nine ers offense didn't

272
00:12:56,679 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 1: show that they could figure this defense out. Now may again,

273
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 1: playing them on such short notice is gonna help them,

274
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:06,559
Speaker 1: you know, kind of kind of feel more comfortable and

275
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 1: feel like, hey, this is just doll fight there, man.

276
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:12,679
Speaker 1: But Mike McDonald has given Kyle Shanahan problems everywhere he's been,

277
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:15,079
Speaker 1: and I mean he's only been two places. But when

278
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 1: they used to play the Baltimore Ravens and Mike McDonald

279
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 1: was a defense coordinator.

280
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 4: They struggled and work.

281
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 1: One of brock Perty's worst games came against the Baltimore

282
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:26,199
Speaker 1: Ravens when Lamar Jackson was having an MVP campaign and

283
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 1: Brock purty. They came to Levi Stadium and Brock had

284
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 1: all those interceptions in that game. So again, those are

285
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 1: things you learn from. But one thing I do want

286
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 1: to say, uh is is if somehow the San Francisco

287
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:42,960
Speaker 1: forty nine ers get ahead in this game, I think

288
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 1: the pressure builds and in the stress level is through

289
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:51,079
Speaker 1: the roof really quickly because of how much this offense

290
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:54,199
Speaker 1: has struggled over the last couple of weeks just pushing

291
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 1: the ball and even against this team like they've scored

292
00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 1: hat games where they've scored forty points in the first half,

293
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 1: thirty eight points in the first half, and then just

294
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:03,719
Speaker 1: kind of limp their way to the finish line in

295
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 1: the second half. So I think there's gonna be it's

296
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 1: gonna be a fun game. It's gonna be a really

297
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:11,079
Speaker 1: fun game. I think this could be a real, big,

298
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 1: big time moment for Sam Darnold to show who he

299
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 1: is to be the big time quarterback that this franchise

300
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 1: believes he can be and allow him to showcase js

301
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 1: and the showcase aj Barner, to showcase Rashid Shahat in

302
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 1: a big way, and then allow Kenneth Walker and Sharviyonnay

303
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:28,440
Speaker 1: to run the ball consistently.

304
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 4: But it's to be seen. It's not gonna be easy.

305
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 3: There's gonna be a lot of eyes on your boy,

306
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 3: Diamador Lenor in his matchup against JSN. What do you

307
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 3: look for in that game? I know Diamador wants JSN.

308
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 3: I know he wants that matchup. I mean, he's the

309
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 3: guy that seems to seek out the top opponent on

310
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 3: the other team. Do you think he has what it

311
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 3: takes to lock down JSN at least contain him in

312
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 3: this game?

313
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 4: Well, they don't.

314
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 1: They don't play man coverage like that outside of third down.

315
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 1: So you know, a lot of those matchups in a

316
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 1: lot of ways where a lot of teams are conflated.

317
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 1: You know, it's it's you're like, oh, man, I'm gonna

318
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 1: lock this guy down. Like you may have three snaps

319
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 1: of man to man against him, and two of those

320
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 1: snaps might be run plays, and so you're sitting here like,

321
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 1: oh man, this matchup, in this matchup, and just because

322
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 1: the guys lined up in front of another guy doesn't

323
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 1: mean they're in man to man. So I don't I

324
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 1: don't put a lot of onus into that. Obviously it hasn't.

325
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 1: It hasn't manifested itself into it to meaningful football. I

326
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 1: think sometimes when you talk things like that into existence,

327
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 1: they don't. They don't show up in the game like

328
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 1: you want them to. But when you when you don't,

329
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 1: when you don't think about it and you just think

330
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 1: about the game plan, and naturally those those matchups occur

331
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 1: down the field and you're like, hey, there we go.

332
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 4: That's why we're watching the game.

333
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 1: We want to see a go route with Diamador Lenore

334
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 1: and JS and down the field and see that's good football,

335
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 1: that's good playoff football. But I wouldn't put too much

336
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 1: weight into it because that's just not the way the

337
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 1: San Francisco forty nine ers play defense.

338
00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 4: That's not how solid calls the defense.

339
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 1: Uh, They'll they'll play some men and man on third down,

340
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 1: that's what they've shown on tape. They've been pretty solid

341
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 1: in that. But for the most part, they're going to

342
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 1: be in some sort of zone or some kind of

343
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 1: zone pressure and they're gonna handle it like that.

344
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 3: Richard, how impressed have you been with Robert Sala's performance

345
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 3: as he's wathered this constant wave of injuries. You know,

346
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 3: Robert Sala was a guy that earned his head coaching

347
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 3: position at the Jets. Was it the right environment for

348
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 3: him to be in. Probably not, But how impressed were

349
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 3: you or have you been by what Robert Sala has

350
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 3: been able to accomplish with this defense given how many

351
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 3: injuries to impact players there have been this season.

352
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 4: I'm really impressed. I'm really impressed.

353
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 1: He's been one of the best coaches assistant coaches in

354
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 1: the National Football League, and I think that's why his

355
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 1: name is being floated around for so many of these

356
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 1: head coaching positions, in these jobs out there, and there's

357
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 1: some good jobs out there. Pittsburgh just became available, Baltimore

358
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 1: became available, Atlanta's the Atlanta Falcons job is available. I

359
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 1: don't think he'd ever go back to New York for

360
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 1: the Giants job, but it's a job that's available. But

361
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 1: I think he's done a masterful job just just you know,

362
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:09,960
Speaker 1: taking the hand that he's dealt and doing the best

363
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,680
Speaker 1: he can with it, getting these young guys, coaching them up,

364
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 1: teaching them up, and even when when guys get out

365
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 1: go out with injuries. He's down to his fifth and

366
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:21,720
Speaker 1: sixth linebacker that had to play this year, and he's

367
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,880
Speaker 1: still enthusiastic. My guy, kJ Wright is going out there

368
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:28,200
Speaker 1: and helping Eric Kendricks prepare for these games and getting

369
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 1: him up to speed so that he doesn't run into

370
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 1: a situation that he's unfamiliar with.

371
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:32,960
Speaker 4: You could see it in his drops.

372
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 1: You could see it in his spacing on the field,

373
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 1: his feel for the game, his recognition of some of

374
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 1: these routes. He's he was coached well, and kJ Wright

375
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 1: is sticking by his side. That's one of the best

376
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 1: and smartest football players that I've ever had the pleasure

377
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,159
Speaker 1: of playing with, and so I knew he would be

378
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 1: able to get him to that point. But again, he's

379
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 1: done a magnificent job and that's why he's getting getting

380
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 1: this attention.

381
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:55,960
Speaker 2: It's so wild.

382
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:58,160
Speaker 3: The business of football is a while one, Richard. We're

383
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:01,960
Speaker 3: talking about kJ Wright, coach of the San Francisco forty

384
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 3: nine ers, going against his former team in Seattle. Richard,

385
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:08,199
Speaker 3: it's prediction time, man, I know you always regular season

386
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:11,000
Speaker 3: twenty five, twenty five. Let's all have fun. It's gonna

387
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,640
Speaker 3: be a time game. I gotta put you on the spot. Man,

388
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 3: who do you think wins this game?

389
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:17,359
Speaker 4: That's tough.

390
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:19,920
Speaker 1: That's tough because it's it's such a it's such a

391
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:22,960
Speaker 1: unique battle. And and I thought we'd get more information

392
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 1: from the last game, but you didn't get much. There

393
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 1: are two polar different games than the first two, and

394
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 1: the new circumstances with with kendricks In in Gallo, it

395
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 1: just it just feels it feels like an upset. It

396
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:39,119
Speaker 1: feels like the recipe for an upset. It feels like

397
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 1: all the conditions are there. The injured, battered, bruised team,

398
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:46,480
Speaker 1: limpinge in, you know, the limping in, vulnerable team with

399
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 1: the quarterback who who has only lost games that he's

400
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:54,359
Speaker 1: he's either not finished or he left the field with

401
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 1: the lead. And that's all those are the only kind

402
00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:58,919
Speaker 1: of games brought party is lost. He lost against the

403
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles when when he got injured in the first

404
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:05,680
Speaker 1: drive of the game or the first or second drive

405
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 1: of the game, and then they lost in the Super

406
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:11,120
Speaker 1: Bowl after he gave his team the lead three times

407
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:13,200
Speaker 1: in a row. Every time he lost left the field,

408
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:16,399
Speaker 1: they had the lead, and then the defense went on

409
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:18,200
Speaker 1: the field and and you know, we all know.

410
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 4: How the rest shook out.

411
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 1: But uh, you know, outside of those games, he's he's

412
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:24,960
Speaker 1: giving his team the best chance to win the football games.

413
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 1: On the other side, he struggled against his defense. The

414
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks defense is legitimate, it's real.

415
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 2: Uh.

416
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:34,919
Speaker 1: They got playmakers on all three levels of the of

417
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:40,719
Speaker 1: the defense. They got an All Pro. Ernest Jones went

418
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 1: an All Pro, Spoon was an All Pro. And you

419
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:45,200
Speaker 1: can make an argument for a number of guys being

420
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 1: an All Pro on that defensive line that didn't necessarily

421
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:51,119
Speaker 1: get the bid this year. But can they move Byron Murphy?

422
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:54,400
Speaker 1: Can they move Jaron Jaron Reid? Can they move Leonard Williams?

423
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 1: I don't think they can. They didn't show that they

424
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 1: could in the first game, and I don't I don't

425
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,440
Speaker 1: think they ate more weedies in the the two weeks

426
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:02,600
Speaker 1: since to be able to move them. So I know

427
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:04,880
Speaker 1: that's gonna be a critical matchup. If the San Francisco

428
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:07,400
Speaker 1: forty nine ers can't can't run the ball, at all.

429
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 1: The looks and the confusion and the chaos that that

430
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 1: McDonald presents in that back end always leaves a little

431
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:18,680
Speaker 1: bit of hesitation for the quarterback. And then the pass rush.

432
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:21,680
Speaker 1: The pass rush has been outstanding. Uh and and they

433
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 1: have the death and that's the part that I believe

434
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:27,160
Speaker 1: gives the Seattle Seahawks a great advantage in this game.

435
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:31,320
Speaker 1: And I can understand hard Rock having him favored, but

436
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:33,119
Speaker 1: seven and a half doesn't feel right. I feel like

437
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:35,959
Speaker 1: this is gonna be a one score game with all

438
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 1: the way down to the last possession, and it depends

439
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:40,000
Speaker 1: on who has the ball, man, So that's what it's

440
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,160
Speaker 1: gonna be. It's gonna be down to the last possession

441
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:47,399
Speaker 1: who has the ball? So hmmm, who's gonna have the

442
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:48,400
Speaker 1: ball last possession?

443
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 2: That's what don't don't don't do this, Richard, don't do

444
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:57,400
Speaker 2: You were six and oh in Wildcar Weekend. You were

445
00:20:57,440 --> 00:20:59,399
Speaker 2: six and oh. So I'll do it for you.

446
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 3: I'll pick a T for you and you can either

447
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 3: nod your head yes or nod your head no. I

448
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 3: think the Seattle Seahawks are gonna win this game. I

449
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 3: think they're gonna win by a shoot.

450
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 2: I'm with you.

451
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:11,480
Speaker 3: I think it's gonna be a one score game. I'm

452
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 3: gonna call it twenty four to twenty Seattle. It's gonna

453
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:18,960
Speaker 3: be a thriller. I think Brock Purdy, I think these

454
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 3: injuries are just too much to overcome at this point.

455
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:23,480
Speaker 3: I love his game. I love what he's been able

456
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 3: to do. The forty nine Ers are valiant, They're fighting

457
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 3: their tails off. They remind me of the Lions, though

458
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 3: at some point, you know, last year, when the Lions

459
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,880
Speaker 3: were fifteen to two and they were losing guys left, right,

460
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 3: and center, at some point it just became too much.

461
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:43,240
Speaker 3: And I think that losing George Kittle made it too much.

462
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 3: And I know that they were able to beat the

463
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 3: Philadelphia Eagles. I think that was a great matchup for him.

464
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 3: I don't necessarily love this matchup with all those injuries.

465
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 3: For that reason, I'm gonna go twenty four to twenty

466
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 3: Seattle Seahawks. That being said, I think the forty nine

467
00:21:57,840 --> 00:21:59,160
Speaker 3: ers are gonna put up a hell of a fight,

468
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 3: and I do not want you San Francisco forty nine

469
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:03,440
Speaker 3: Er fans be pissed off at me. I do have

470
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 3: a hat, a forty nine Ers hat. And you know what,

471
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 3: I'll wear it if they win. And that's my pick.

472
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 1: Rich I like that, Mitchell, but again that that I

473
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 1: feel like that score can go either way.

474
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:21,680
Speaker 4: I'm with you with the injuries. But they've been injured.

475
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:24,199
Speaker 1: You know, they just played and they were injured, and

476
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:26,359
Speaker 1: it was a it was a three to ten ball

477
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 1: game with the San Francisco forty nine ers in the

478
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 1: red zone and an interception happened that that gave the

479
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:35,960
Speaker 1: Seahawks more life and in it the dreams of the

480
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:39,359
Speaker 1: San Francisco forty nine ers. So it wasn't It wasn't

481
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:42,399
Speaker 1: like it was just Hey, a dominant performance by the

482
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:45,359
Speaker 1: Seahawks offense, although I felt like they were in control,

483
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 1: especially in the first half.

484
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:47,480
Speaker 4: They were driving the ball.

485
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:50,359
Speaker 1: I wheeled, But they were mistakes made in the first

486
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:52,360
Speaker 1: drop the first drive of the game, I thought Sam

487
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:55,439
Speaker 1: Darnold had I think it might have been Charbonne or

488
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 1: somebody to the flat first play after an explosive in

489
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:00,920
Speaker 1: the red zone. It was a touchdown and he looked

490
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 1: dead at it and held the football. They ended up

491
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:07,200
Speaker 1: getting sacked going forward on fourth down and not getting

492
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 1: points like they should have in that drive. And I

493
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,199
Speaker 1: think you know, that's one of those things that that

494
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:13,880
Speaker 1: gives me, Pauls, that gives me, that leaves me uneasy

495
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 1: because you cannot make mistakes like that in the playoffs.

496
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:19,440
Speaker 1: I think you make mistakes like that against this team

497
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 1: right now, they're gonna they're gonna make a couple. This

498
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 1: team is an experienced team and they got a quarterback

499
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 1: that's been here and done that. He's been down double

500
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:31,880
Speaker 1: digits in a in an NFC championship game.

501
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:33,439
Speaker 2: He's don't talk to me about that.

502
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:41,320
Speaker 5: Richard my bad, Mitchell bad bad, still fresh, still fresh,

503
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:43,679
Speaker 5: he was, he was down, they were down to the

504
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:44,639
Speaker 5: Philadelphia Eagles.

505
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:47,680
Speaker 1: You know that you you went into these situations where

506
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 1: you learned, and I think that's gonna help them. But

507
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:53,719
Speaker 1: I know the Seattle Seahawks. This defense is the only

508
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 1: reason I believe the Seattle Seahawks have a chance in

509
00:23:56,600 --> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 1: this game because I know they've been so consistent this season.

510
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:04,119
Speaker 1: I know the mind Mike McDonald has presented in the

511
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:06,720
Speaker 1: scheme that he's presented and how sound it is and

512
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 1: how deep they are, and you you don't worry about

513
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:12,159
Speaker 1: injuries with the Seattle Seahawks defense because when guys have

514
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:15,360
Speaker 1: gotten injured. They've put guys in and they've played Will

515
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 1: really well. Josh Joe played really well when he got

516
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:21,399
Speaker 1: in there. We talked about the defensive line and all

517
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:23,840
Speaker 1: the depth they have with Derek Hall and Byron Murphy

518
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:26,679
Speaker 1: and and and and pretty much anybody you bring in.

519
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:29,119
Speaker 1: Jared Reid got banged up for for a couple of games.

520
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:33,200
Speaker 1: But I just I'm honestly, I'm trying to call it, Mitchell.

521
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:36,600
Speaker 1: I am trying my best to see it, but it's

522
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:39,959
Speaker 1: it's difficult. It's difficult. It's difficult because they just played

523
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:49,479
Speaker 1: HM trying to get it, Mitchell.

524
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:54,000
Speaker 3: You can do it off air, Richard, if you don't

525
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:55,360
Speaker 3: want to piss a bunch of people off.

526
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 2: And I respect that.

527
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:57,160
Speaker 4: I don't. I don't mind.

528
00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 1: I don't mind pissing people off. I just can't call

529
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:03,360
Speaker 1: this game. It's I hate these Division games that are

530
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:05,480
Speaker 1: like this, especially teams that just played.

531
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:09,160
Speaker 4: It was just like Green Bay in Chicago the other day.

532
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 1: It's like, when you've just played, this is the third

533
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:14,320
Speaker 1: time you're playing in thirty five days, right, it's so

534
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 1: much familiarity.

535
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:17,320
Speaker 4: It's gonna come down to the wire. And that's exactly

536
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 4: what it did.

537
00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 1: Freaking Packers have the ball driving down with a chance

538
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:22,560
Speaker 1: to win the game at the end of the game,

539
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 1: and they were in control the whole game, But none

540
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:26,880
Speaker 1: of that matters because it comes down to the last

541
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 1: draft of the game. Because these teams know each other

542
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 1: so well, so it's just gonna be a roller coaster.

543
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 1: Like this is a pick them for me, Mitchell, This

544
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:37,040
Speaker 1: is a pick them. It could go either way fair enough,

545
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 1: and we'll leave it at that. We'll see what happens.

546
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 3: You know, this reminds me of, though, is when we

547
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:44,040
Speaker 3: did the season preview and you said that they were

548
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:46,240
Speaker 3: gonna be in a tie and whoever won the last

549
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 3: game was gonna win the freaking division. And here we are.

550
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:52,680
Speaker 3: You were right, So maybe you're right again. Maybe we'll

551
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:54,240
Speaker 3: come down to whoever has a ball at the end

552
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:54,680
Speaker 3: of the game.

553
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:55,400
Speaker 2: We shall see.

554
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:57,720
Speaker 3: Let's talk about the other NFC matchup. This is gonna

555
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:00,960
Speaker 3: be a wild one as well, another NFC West opponent

556
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:05,360
Speaker 3: La Rams go into Chicago to play the Chicago Bears

557
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:08,920
Speaker 3: that are flying high right now, off back to back

558
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 3: miraculous comeback wins over the Green Bay Packers. I know, Chicago,

559
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 3: the city of Chicago has got to be live. I

560
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 3: know that stadium is going to be loud, it's going

561
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:21,439
Speaker 3: to be cold, it's gonna be windy. Conditions for a

562
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:24,720
Speaker 3: running back, Conditions for a running game, not so much

563
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:29,000
Speaker 3: to be throwing the ball. It's Richard, this is setting

564
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:30,880
Speaker 3: up to be a wild one in my opinion, because

565
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:33,440
Speaker 3: there's so many different variables that are at play here.

566
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:36,719
Speaker 3: This is not in La right, this is in the

567
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 3: Windy City, and those conditions seem to fit a scrambling

568
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:44,880
Speaker 3: mobile quarterback like Caleb Williams a little bit better than

569
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:49,919
Speaker 3: somebody like Matthew Stafford. That being said, Matthew Stafford, hats

570
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:52,040
Speaker 3: off to him. He's got to be the MVP this year.

571
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:54,720
Speaker 3: Does he have what it takes? I mean, do you

572
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 3: think the La Rams, all things considered, those variables number

573
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:01,400
Speaker 3: one ranked off offense in the league and go into

574
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 3: the Chicago and take care of business.

575
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:07,000
Speaker 4: This Rams defense is what I'm concerned about. Again.

576
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:09,840
Speaker 1: They give up over thirty points to the Carolina Panthers,

577
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:12,400
Speaker 1: the second time in less than a month they've given

578
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 1: up that. They gave up twenty seven to the Atlanta Falcons,

579
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:17,680
Speaker 1: a team that struggled, and this was supposed to be

580
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:20,160
Speaker 1: a really really good defense. They have a really talented

581
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 1: fun it's the back end that you leave really really

582
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:27,280
Speaker 1: concerned with. And Caleb Williams does a great job of

583
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:32,280
Speaker 1: escaping and creating longer plays and extra plays, and you

584
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:34,119
Speaker 1: got to get to the second and third read in

585
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:35,919
Speaker 1: the play, and he's able to do that. Is he

586
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:37,560
Speaker 1: always the most accurate with the football.

587
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:37,919
Speaker 4: He's not.

588
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:40,320
Speaker 1: But when you got a run game like they do

589
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:43,440
Speaker 1: the third ranked run game in the National Football League

590
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 1: with Manunghai and DeAndre Swift guys, they can go by

591
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:51,480
Speaker 1: committee and really have an impact on this game. And

592
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:54,200
Speaker 1: then you look at the success that Bryce Young was

593
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:58,320
Speaker 1: even able to have against this against this team, were

594
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:02,159
Speaker 1: they able to just scheme guys open. Tedoroal McMillan was

595
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:05,960
Speaker 1: having some success. Jalen Kocher had one hundred and thirty

596
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:08,439
Speaker 1: four yards on none catches. So there are holes in

597
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:11,200
Speaker 1: this defense that can be exploited. And you know Ben

598
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:13,119
Speaker 1: Johnson can scheme them up with the best of them,

599
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:15,359
Speaker 1: as you know Mitchell be as good as anybody. So

600
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:20,920
Speaker 1: this is a game where obviously Matthew Staffords played in

601
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:23,680
Speaker 1: the NFC North, he can deal with the conditions. He's

602
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:26,560
Speaker 1: played in the NFC North long enough majority of his career,

603
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:28,920
Speaker 1: so I'm not afraid of him in the elements. I'm

604
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:31,440
Speaker 1: not afraid of Devonte Adams in the elements. He played

605
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 1: in Green Bay, like we're gonna We're not gonna act

606
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:35,960
Speaker 1: like these guys can't play. And they played a wild

607
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:38,360
Speaker 1: card game against the Philadelphia Eagles last year and gave

608
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Eagles all they could handle in that game,

609
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:42,600
Speaker 1: and it was a really cold game as well. So

610
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 1: I'm not concerned about them as much as I'm concerned

611
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 1: about just the way this defense is played down the stretch. Sure,

612
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:51,320
Speaker 1: they've made plays, they've created turnovers, they have a really

613
00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:54,800
Speaker 1: talented defensive line, but Ken Nate consistently stopped this run game.

614
00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:57,480
Speaker 1: Because if they can't in these conditions, it's gonna be

615
00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:01,960
Speaker 1: a very long day for him. And if the conditions

616
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:04,000
Speaker 1: are what they say, that what they think, they're gonna

617
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 1: be metroll if they if it's gonna be as cold

618
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 1: and snowy as they're saying, you gotta think the home

619
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:13,360
Speaker 1: team would have the advantage.

620
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 3: There, You would think, you would think. But you said

621
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 3: all this, Richard about the La Rams, and I love

622
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 3: what you said about the Vontae Adams and Matthew Stafford

623
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:25,400
Speaker 3: playing in the NFC North, you know, and obviously Green

624
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 3: Bay and Detroit. There's something about this Rams team.

625
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 4: I get it.

626
00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:29,840
Speaker 2: You know.

627
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:33,800
Speaker 3: They struggled against Carolina, they struggled against Atlanta down the stretch.

628
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:35,800
Speaker 3: You know, Detroit was able to move the ball quite

629
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:40,360
Speaker 3: a bit on them defensively. But what it impresses me

630
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:42,800
Speaker 3: about this Rams team is the two headed monster they've

631
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:45,560
Speaker 3: got developing and kyn Williams and Blake Corum, you know,

632
00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 3: and they also have a pretty darn good offensive line.

633
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:51,600
Speaker 3: When you couple that with going against the Chicago Bears,

634
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:55,080
Speaker 3: who have the twenty seventh ranked rush defense, I see

635
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 3: an opportunity for the Rams to take advantage as well

636
00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:01,920
Speaker 3: on the ground, you know. And also in addition to that,

637
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:04,920
Speaker 3: Chicago has been skating by on a lot of luck

638
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:07,400
Speaker 3: and they have not seen a team like the La

639
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:10,120
Speaker 3: Rams with their back against the wall winner go home

640
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:10,880
Speaker 3: a game.

641
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:14,320
Speaker 2: And Matthew Stafford has been an absolute killer. You know.

642
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:17,000
Speaker 3: I think the luck is eventually going to run out

643
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:19,960
Speaker 3: for Chicago, and I think it's going to happen this weekend.

644
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 3: That's not to say that Chicago shouldn't you know, be

645
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:26,480
Speaker 3: very very proud of their team, and they certainly have

646
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:28,680
Speaker 3: a hell of an opportunity here to take care of business.

647
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:31,680
Speaker 3: If Chicago is going to win this game, it's going

648
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:33,640
Speaker 3: to come down to a couple of things. You've already

649
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 3: hit on two of them, Kylemnung Guy and DeAndre Swift.

650
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:38,920
Speaker 3: How effective can they be on the ground. That is

651
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:41,440
Speaker 3: going to be then absolute crucial point. But one of

652
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:43,720
Speaker 3: the things with Chicago that's really impressed me over the

653
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 3: course of the last five six weeks is the emergence

654
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 3: of their number one pick, top ten pick, Colston Lovelan

655
00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:51,920
Speaker 3: out a University of Michigan. He is looking like an

656
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:54,800
Speaker 3: absolute stud and the reason that they drafted to top ten.

657
00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:57,640
Speaker 3: It gives Ben Johnson that weapon that he had in

658
00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:00,720
Speaker 3: Detroit and Sam Laporta, and we're seeing it at play.

659
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:04,040
Speaker 3: A guy like him on these short routes, his ability

660
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 3: to get yak. You know, this could be a game

661
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 3: for him to really come away as a guy that

662
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:13,040
Speaker 3: you know is a future star in a lot of

663
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:18,040
Speaker 3: folks eyes, Richard, You've played in very shitty conditions. You

664
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:22,480
Speaker 3: played up in Minnesota in the Blairwash, infamous wide left game.

665
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:26,400
Speaker 3: How much is it to be I mean, what was

666
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:29,200
Speaker 3: it minus ten fifteen twenty degrees when you're up there.

667
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:31,600
Speaker 3: This is gonna be pretty darn close. How much does

668
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:34,880
Speaker 3: that impact you defensively? Because I think when I'm going

669
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:37,360
Speaker 3: out and playing football in the snow, you know, winter

670
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:39,840
Speaker 3: with my cousins, no one wants to tackle anybody.

671
00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:40,560
Speaker 4: It's too cold.

672
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:45,800
Speaker 3: You're talking about negative seven degree temperatures here. How difficult

673
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:46,480
Speaker 3: it is that as a.

674
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:50,840
Speaker 1: Defender, it's really difficult. And it also, this isn't the

675
00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:53,200
Speaker 1: best field in the world. This isn't a turf field.

676
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:58,200
Speaker 1: This isn't This is a field that's slippery and bad

677
00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:01,760
Speaker 1: even in decent conditions. So you talk about the ground

678
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:05,840
Speaker 1: being slick, that's worst case scenario for a devender because

679
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:09,880
Speaker 1: you got to put the screws in and you have

680
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,000
Speaker 1: to play with your feet under you the whole game.

681
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:13,600
Speaker 1: You have to make sure, hey, I don't I don't

682
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 1: get too far outside of my frame. I don't want

683
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 1: to slip. Every break.

684
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:18,440
Speaker 4: You gotta be careful and.

685
00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:22,480
Speaker 1: Cautious because one slip on, one slip, one misstep in

686
00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:24,360
Speaker 1: this game, and the game's over and it's it's a

687
00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:27,040
Speaker 1: big play and everybody's sitting there blaming you for it.

688
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 1: And but again in the last five games, Mitchell, in

689
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:33,480
Speaker 1: the last five games, they gave up thirty eight. This

690
00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:36,000
Speaker 1: this Rams defense gave up thirty eight to Seattle. They

691
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:38,480
Speaker 1: gave up thirty four to your Detroit Lions, they gave

692
00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:42,080
Speaker 1: up They just gave up thirty one to the Carolina Panthers,

693
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:44,240
Speaker 1: and they gave up twenty seven to the Falcons. So

694
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:47,719
Speaker 1: I think they like, they're not coming in here rolling

695
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:51,120
Speaker 1: like they have been in the past. And I know

696
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:54,040
Speaker 1: that that we feel great about Matthew Stafford and what

697
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:57,200
Speaker 1: this offense can do, and rightfully so, but they have

698
00:32:57,320 --> 00:33:01,320
Speaker 1: been they at times have have kind of slowed down

699
00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:06,160
Speaker 1: and they've got gone stagnant at times, especially against decent defenses.

700
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 1: And this is the number one turnover defense in the

701
00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:10,920
Speaker 1: National Football League. We cannot lose sight of that. In

702
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:15,440
Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears, there were opportunities in that Green Bay

703
00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:17,360
Speaker 1: game with the ball on the ground when they threw

704
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 1: the pass to the offensive lineman and everybody's like, oh,

705
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:22,360
Speaker 1: they can't bring him down, he's too powerful. No, they

706
00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:24,160
Speaker 1: weren't trying to bring him down. You don't bring down

707
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:26,480
Speaker 1: an offensive lineman. You let him run, you just slow

708
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:28,720
Speaker 1: him down and punch the ball. He's not a ball carrier,

709
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:30,880
Speaker 1: he's not used to handling the football, and he has

710
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:32,400
Speaker 1: all this tape and huge gloves on.

711
00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:34,800
Speaker 4: He can't feel it. You have. That's a perfect opportunity.

712
00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:37,840
Speaker 1: And they got the ball out and then couldn't recover it.

713
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:39,640
Speaker 1: It was ten yards down the field and nobody could

714
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:41,719
Speaker 1: recover it. Then you have to play where the receiver

715
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:44,160
Speaker 1: jumped in the end zone and dropped the ball. Balls

716
00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:45,880
Speaker 1: on the ground and the end zone. Nobody sees it,

717
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:48,760
Speaker 1: nobody gets it. This is a team that creates turnovers.

718
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:51,440
Speaker 1: If they're able to do that again against Matthew saff

719
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:53,920
Speaker 1: from this offense, it's gonna be hard to beat him.

720
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:57,880
Speaker 3: I got Chicago, no kidding, And what a story that

721
00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:01,000
Speaker 3: would be for Ben Johnson and this Chicago Bears team.

722
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:03,800
Speaker 3: That was a first win, the first playoff win in

723
00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:06,840
Speaker 3: fifteen years, right, and this city has been loyal to

724
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:12,640
Speaker 3: this team. Credit to Chicago, man, huge huge win last weekend.

725
00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:16,040
Speaker 3: This match, this matchup this Sunday is going to tell

726
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:18,719
Speaker 3: a lot about who Chicago really is because I think

727
00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:22,360
Speaker 3: their one critique was who they played on their schedule

728
00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:26,480
Speaker 3: and their comeback wins. It never looked tremendously dominant in

729
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:28,839
Speaker 3: any game. So to your point, Richard, if they're able

730
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:32,560
Speaker 3: to come away with a win, look out, Chicago is

731
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:35,600
Speaker 3: going to be even more fired up than they already

732
00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:39,799
Speaker 3: are right now, Richard Sherman has Chicago to advance to

733
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:43,880
Speaker 3: the NFC Championship Game. Wowsers. Let's move on to the

734
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:47,480
Speaker 3: AFC here. I know you're excited about these matchups as well.

735
00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:51,040
Speaker 3: The Buffalo Bills are headed too Denver to take on

736
00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:54,040
Speaker 3: the Denver Broncos. Hard Rock has the Bills as a

737
00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:56,719
Speaker 3: one point favorite. Does that surprise you at all?

738
00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:01,960
Speaker 4: No, that's the that's hard Rot saying. Josh Allen.

739
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:07,240
Speaker 1: Josh Allen is an MVP candidate or the reigning MVP,

740
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:09,000
Speaker 1: and he's playing in this game.

741
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:11,160
Speaker 4: You're gonna give them an advantage for that.

742
00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:13,520
Speaker 1: Even if you're going against the number two defense in

743
00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:16,200
Speaker 1: the National Football League, you're gonna give Josh Allen the

744
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:18,520
Speaker 1: respect that he's doing. He's playoffs. He always shows up

745
00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:20,000
Speaker 1: and plays well regardless.

746
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:25,040
Speaker 3: Well to me, yeah, I'm with you. I don't think

747
00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:28,919
Speaker 3: that it's much of a surprise. I think Buffalo has

748
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:31,040
Speaker 3: got everything that they need to take care of Denver.

749
00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:34,400
Speaker 3: I know you love Denver's defense, and rightfully so, but

750
00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:37,040
Speaker 3: for me, the eyes are gonna be on bow necks.

751
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:39,719
Speaker 3: We all know how good the Denver Broncos defense is

752
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:42,560
Speaker 3: gonna be. They've been tremendous all season long. But does

753
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:45,920
Speaker 3: Bownecks have what it takes to elevate this offense and

754
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:49,520
Speaker 3: take care of the Buffalo Bills and ultimately knock off

755
00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:51,880
Speaker 3: Josh Allen out of this playoffs.

756
00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:55,839
Speaker 1: We'll see, We'll see. It's easier say it than done.

757
00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:59,280
Speaker 1: And the quarterbacks that have done it have been really,

758
00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:02,000
Speaker 1: really talented guys. They've got they've been guys that you

759
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:04,520
Speaker 1: considered top five in the National Football League most times,

760
00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:06,360
Speaker 1: and most of the times it's Patrick Mahomes and the

761
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:07,480
Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs and.

762
00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:08,120
Speaker 4: They aren't here.

763
00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:12,839
Speaker 1: But I'll give all the respect that is due to

764
00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:16,480
Speaker 1: the Denver Broncos and that they are incredible against the

765
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:18,480
Speaker 1: run against the past. They play a lot of man

766
00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:20,239
Speaker 1: and man coverage. I think they play a third most

767
00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:22,399
Speaker 1: man and man coverage in the National Football League. They

768
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:24,520
Speaker 1: have the reigning defensive Player of the Year and Patrick

769
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:27,680
Speaker 1: certain they have a team that can get the job done,

770
00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:30,200
Speaker 1: no question about it. The question mark come on the

771
00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:32,920
Speaker 1: offensive side of the football, just like it has for

772
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:35,320
Speaker 1: a number of these teams with great defenses. It's the

773
00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:39,080
Speaker 1: offense that you worry about. Kenny not put the ball

774
00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:42,520
Speaker 1: in harms way. Can can Sean Payton come up with

775
00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:45,600
Speaker 1: a good plan that that does a great job of

776
00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:49,680
Speaker 1: highlighting his strengths and and really staying away from his weaknesses.

777
00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:51,799
Speaker 1: Can he use his legs because that'll be a big

778
00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:52,239
Speaker 1: part of it.

779
00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:54,000
Speaker 4: Use your legs to get down the field.

780
00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 1: Josh Allen will give you a blueprint of how to

781
00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:57,960
Speaker 1: win these games because I know he's gonna use his

782
00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:00,200
Speaker 1: legs and he's this game to try to win for

783
00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:00,600
Speaker 1: his team.

784
00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:01,880
Speaker 4: I think they're gonna have a chance.

785
00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:05,439
Speaker 1: But if this Broncos defense does what they have done

786
00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:08,839
Speaker 1: all season, they'll come out with a win. But it's

787
00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:10,640
Speaker 1: a big it's a big if. It's a reason they

788
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:13,920
Speaker 1: have the the the Buffalo Bill's favored favorite on the

789
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:17,400
Speaker 1: road against the number one seed in the National Football

790
00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:21,680
Speaker 1: League in the AFC because they've played really well with

791
00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:24,240
Speaker 1: when Josh Allen is on the football field, and there's

792
00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:27,520
Speaker 1: inconsistency from the Broncos offense.

793
00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:29,120
Speaker 4: That you that you've got to be concerns about.

794
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:30,400
Speaker 2: No question.

795
00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:34,520
Speaker 3: In terms of the Buffalo Bills, we saw James Cook

796
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:37,640
Speaker 3: go out against the Jacksonville Jaguars and it kind of struggle.

797
00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:41,120
Speaker 3: Jacksonville's has got a great rush defense. The Broncos have

798
00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:45,239
Speaker 3: the same exact thing. James Cook is gonna have to

799
00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:46,920
Speaker 3: take over this game if the Bills.

800
00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:47,680
Speaker 2: Are gonna win on the road.

801
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:50,440
Speaker 3: I know all the eyes are gonna be on Josh Allen,

802
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:53,160
Speaker 3: but the Bills are gonna moves James Cook moves in

803
00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:55,680
Speaker 3: this in this game, they're gonna have to ultimately wear

804
00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:58,320
Speaker 3: out this this defense, and they're gonna have to control

805
00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:00,800
Speaker 3: time of possession. Not enough credit is given to the

806
00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:03,960
Speaker 3: Buffalo Bills defense. I mean, Richard, they got the number

807
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:06,480
Speaker 3: one pass defense in the league. They got the number

808
00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:10,480
Speaker 3: seven overall defense in the league. So I think bo Nicks,

809
00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:12,919
Speaker 3: you know, coming into this game, that's probably why Hard

810
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:15,560
Speaker 3: Rock has them favored, is because you're not only dealing

811
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:18,319
Speaker 3: with Josh Allen, but you're dealing with James Cook and

812
00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:21,360
Speaker 3: this Bill's defense. Now, the question for Josh Allen is

813
00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:24,080
Speaker 3: gonna become does he have the offensive weapons at the

814
00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:28,359
Speaker 3: receiver position? To really take over this defense because you're

815
00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:32,080
Speaker 3: gonna go up against Patrick's or tan Is Khalil Shakir.

816
00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:34,200
Speaker 3: The guy to do it is Brandon Cooks. The guy

817
00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:36,480
Speaker 3: to do it is Dalton Kinkaid. The guy to do it,

818
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:39,720
Speaker 3: we'll see. But that to me is the biggest question

819
00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:42,960
Speaker 3: with this Bills team is do they have enough offensive weapons?

820
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:45,239
Speaker 3: Because I know Josh Allen is gonna be ready to

821
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:47,440
Speaker 3: run and gun, but do you believe that the Bills

822
00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:50,359
Speaker 3: have what it takes from a personnel standpoint at these

823
00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:52,000
Speaker 3: key positions to get things done.

824
00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:52,319
Speaker 4: Well.

825
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:56,440
Speaker 1: The part of this that's gonna be scary for the

826
00:38:56,520 --> 00:39:00,399
Speaker 1: Denver browncos is a this is a repeat matchup from

827
00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:03,560
Speaker 1: last season. This is a repeat matchup, and the Buffalo

828
00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:06,760
Speaker 1: Bills beat this team thirty one to seven. And so sure,

829
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:09,400
Speaker 1: you could feel great, obviously that game was in Buffalo.

830
00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:11,600
Speaker 1: You could feel like, hey, man, you know we're better,

831
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:13,680
Speaker 1: we're more experienced this year. But in the back of

832
00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:16,359
Speaker 1: your mind, you're like, hey, they got after us. They

833
00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:19,680
Speaker 1: had a great plant, they executed it. Josh Allen had

834
00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:23,000
Speaker 1: a fantastic game. Bow Knicks didn't necessarily have a great game.

835
00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:24,880
Speaker 1: They didn't lean on them as much. They weren't able

836
00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:27,000
Speaker 1: to run the football as well as they had, but

837
00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:31,040
Speaker 1: James Cook was and so they've had success running the

838
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:33,440
Speaker 1: football in this team in the playoffs, and they're gonna

839
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:35,800
Speaker 1: be confident they can do that. I'm sure McDermott is

840
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:38,719
Speaker 1: gonna feel good about what his team is going into

841
00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:40,480
Speaker 1: this game, even as beat up as they are and

842
00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:42,960
Speaker 1: as injured as they are on both sides of the football.

843
00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:47,800
Speaker 1: When you've beaten the team in this exact same scenario,

844
00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:50,840
Speaker 1: not exact same scenario, but in the wild card round

845
00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:53,799
Speaker 1: going into the next season, you feel good. This is

846
00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:56,120
Speaker 1: a different Denver Broncos team. I will give them that.

847
00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:59,800
Speaker 1: They're more experienced. They've played better this season. Sean Payton,

848
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,759
Speaker 1: this is the second year here, a second year with

849
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:05,279
Speaker 1: this with bo Knicks at the helm, so I know

850
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:07,359
Speaker 1: he feels better about the plan and what he can

851
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:10,160
Speaker 1: do with him. But still, you got to show you

852
00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:13,439
Speaker 1: can beat Josh Allen. Until you do, Buffalo is gonna

853
00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:13,880
Speaker 1: be favored.

854
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:18,359
Speaker 3: Okay, so it comes out of prediction time.

855
00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:19,160
Speaker 4: Who do you like?

856
00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:21,040
Speaker 2: What's the final score here? Richard?

857
00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:24,040
Speaker 3: What storylines do you think are gonna stand out with

858
00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:33,680
Speaker 3: this game? Keep in mind you do have the Denver

859
00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:36,480
Speaker 3: Broncos in the Super Bowl coming into this, that was

860
00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:37,120
Speaker 3: your prediction.

861
00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:42,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was hoping they wouldn't get this matchup, but

862
00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:44,520
Speaker 1: I guess this is This is the matchup that had

863
00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:46,799
Speaker 1: to happen if they were gonna get there. So I

864
00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:49,880
Speaker 1: gotta go with the Denver Broncos. The Denver Broncos defense

865
00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:52,600
Speaker 1: is gonna have to do enough to stop Josh Allen

866
00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:54,640
Speaker 1: show that they belong to be here.

867
00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:57,120
Speaker 4: So why they're the number one seed in the AFC.

868
00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:02,400
Speaker 1: Obviously, I think Benito and and UH and Cooper are

869
00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:04,319
Speaker 1: gonna have a huge impact in this game. My guy

870
00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:06,880
Speaker 1: DJ Jones is going to be in there, uh, stopping

871
00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:09,279
Speaker 1: the run and again the Ranning Defensive Player of the

872
00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:11,840
Speaker 1: Year Patrick Surtain is going to make his impact felt

873
00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:12,520
Speaker 1: in this game.

874
00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:12,960
Speaker 2: Uh.

875
00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:15,160
Speaker 1: Hopefully my guy Rithy Moss is able to stand up

876
00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:17,799
Speaker 1: on the other side. Understand Uh, Buffalo doesn't have these

877
00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:21,400
Speaker 1: all world receivers and they just lost Gabe Davis for

878
00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:23,920
Speaker 1: the foreseeable future with the a c O injury. So

879
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:28,480
Speaker 1: they'll find ways to get Khalil Shakir involved. They'll find

880
00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:30,800
Speaker 1: ways to get Kean Coleman involved. But I would I

881
00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:33,360
Speaker 1: would imagine that they're They're going to see a healthy

882
00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:35,560
Speaker 1: dose of man the Man and pressure on Josh Allen

883
00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:36,239
Speaker 1: all night long.

884
00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:41,560
Speaker 4: Uh got the Denver Broncos sneaking by with a win.

885
00:41:43,719 --> 00:41:46,719
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm rolling with the Buffalo Bills, So we got

886
00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:51,800
Speaker 3: h We got some differences here this uh, this upcoming

887
00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:54,920
Speaker 3: weekend here Richard, and finally the Houston Texans. So I

888
00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:57,280
Speaker 3: know you love and we love seeing the Houston Texan

889
00:41:57,280 --> 00:42:00,360
Speaker 3: fans in the comments section. By the way, thank you

890
00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:04,120
Speaker 3: guys for subscribing. Obviously from Houston, Texas. Richard's been a

891
00:42:04,200 --> 00:42:07,640
Speaker 3: huge advocate for your defense all season long. They're going

892
00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:09,920
Speaker 3: to be going on the road to New England against

893
00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:13,080
Speaker 3: the Patriots. Hard Rock's got the Pats as a three

894
00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:18,200
Speaker 3: point favorite. Something tells me you're probably not gonna like that.

895
00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:20,640
Speaker 1: I don't mind it. Three points is what you get

896
00:42:20,719 --> 00:42:23,239
Speaker 1: for being at home. That's when when when when a

897
00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:26,160
Speaker 1: when a sports book thinks it's even they give you

898
00:42:26,239 --> 00:42:28,880
Speaker 1: three points for home, and if you don't get at

899
00:42:28,960 --> 00:42:31,920
Speaker 1: least three points from home, then they think you're underdowne

900
00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:35,160
Speaker 1: So they think that the Pats deserve to be here.

901
00:42:35,200 --> 00:42:37,480
Speaker 1: They think they're the better team and I can understand

902
00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:41,719
Speaker 1: that with the way that uh, the Texans offense struggled

903
00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:45,000
Speaker 1: for for large parts of that football game against the

904
00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:50,399
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers. But right now, if you're the if you're

905
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:53,120
Speaker 1: the Houston offense, you feel like, hey, we just need

906
00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:55,760
Speaker 1: to take care of football. We need to manage the clock,

907
00:42:55,880 --> 00:42:57,759
Speaker 1: run the football well, not turn it over. If you

908
00:42:57,760 --> 00:43:00,759
Speaker 1: see j Stroud, if you're Demico Ryan, that's all you're

909
00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:03,960
Speaker 1: telling him all game, Hey, protect the football, protect the football.

910
00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:07,120
Speaker 1: Give our defense a chance to win this game. Because

911
00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:11,320
Speaker 1: on the other side, this Patriots offense has been potent,

912
00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:15,600
Speaker 1: but they have not faced a top five defense this

913
00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:19,880
Speaker 1: entire season. I think the Chargers were the top defense

914
00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:22,560
Speaker 1: that they faced the entire season, and of course they

915
00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:24,640
Speaker 1: won that game by ten points, but they struggled for

916
00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:26,399
Speaker 1: a good portion of it. That was a three point

917
00:43:26,440 --> 00:43:28,760
Speaker 1: game for a majority of that game, and the offense

918
00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:32,080
Speaker 1: was not able to generate a touchdown. This Houston defense

919
00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:36,400
Speaker 1: is better, They're more aggressive. The Chargers sacked them five times.

920
00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:39,560
Speaker 1: I would guess the Houston Texans will be looking to

921
00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:44,800
Speaker 1: do the same. And the difference between the Chargers and

922
00:43:45,600 --> 00:43:47,920
Speaker 1: the Texans is not only just a front but it's

923
00:43:47,920 --> 00:43:51,880
Speaker 1: the secondary. Obviously, they have Derwin James, an incredible playmaker,

924
00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:55,360
Speaker 1: but they don't have Derek Stingley, Junior, Kamari Lasster, Kayln

925
00:43:55,400 --> 00:43:59,520
Speaker 1: Bullock Petrie. They have playmaker after playmaker after playmaker, and

926
00:43:59,560 --> 00:44:01,640
Speaker 1: that's Candarry and a pro bowler in the middle in

927
00:44:01,680 --> 00:44:05,240
Speaker 1: Aziz al Shaire. So I feel really good and really

928
00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:08,400
Speaker 1: confident about this Houston Texan team going forward. They're on

929
00:44:08,480 --> 00:44:11,279
Speaker 1: a ten game winning streak and people don't understand the

930
00:44:12,040 --> 00:44:15,319
Speaker 1: what momentum is when a team is playing like this,

931
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:19,480
Speaker 1: that they're going into games not even regardless of how

932
00:44:19,480 --> 00:44:22,279
Speaker 1: the game's going. They don't think they can lose, and

933
00:44:22,320 --> 00:44:24,759
Speaker 1: they're playing that way. When you're playing with that kind

934
00:44:24,760 --> 00:44:27,239
Speaker 1: of immense confidence, it's a tough I don't care what

935
00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:29,719
Speaker 1: seed you are, You're gonna be a tough out. And

936
00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:34,359
Speaker 1: if their offense gives them anything, they're gonna they're gonna

937
00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:36,279
Speaker 1: be a tough out. I got the Houston Texans winning

938
00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:38,560
Speaker 1: this game against the New England Patriots in New England

939
00:44:38,719 --> 00:44:40,600
Speaker 1: and Mike Rabel. I have a ton of respect for

940
00:44:40,680 --> 00:44:43,000
Speaker 1: what Mike has done and the way he treats his players,

941
00:44:43,040 --> 00:44:45,479
Speaker 1: the way he coaches, the way he played the game.

942
00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:47,680
Speaker 1: I think this is gonna be a fun, fun game,

943
00:44:47,920 --> 00:44:51,400
Speaker 1: one of the best AFC games of the week in

944
00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:54,880
Speaker 1: my opinion, But I still think that I think the

945
00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:57,480
Speaker 1: Houston Texans defense just has too much for this team

946
00:44:57,520 --> 00:45:00,840
Speaker 1: to overcome. If I'm being honest, it's how are you

947
00:45:00,920 --> 00:45:04,040
Speaker 1: gonna consistently block Will Anderson, Daniel Hunter? How are you

948
00:45:04,040 --> 00:45:07,200
Speaker 1: gonna I just how are you gonna block Rankins? How

949
00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:10,000
Speaker 1: are you gonna block these guys consistently.

950
00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:10,319
Speaker 4: All game long?

951
00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:12,839
Speaker 1: You weren't able to block oh Way in the last game.

952
00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:15,520
Speaker 1: Oh Way had three sacks for the Chargers last week.

953
00:45:15,600 --> 00:45:18,719
Speaker 1: So these guys are a different beasts in that. Not

954
00:45:18,760 --> 00:45:20,960
Speaker 1: to say, not to take anything away from him, but

955
00:45:22,360 --> 00:45:24,400
Speaker 1: Stefan Diggs was with the Houston Texans.

956
00:45:24,440 --> 00:45:25,120
Speaker 4: They know him.

957
00:45:25,160 --> 00:45:28,200
Speaker 1: I'm sure Derek Stanley feels very comfortable with him. They'll

958
00:45:28,239 --> 00:45:31,760
Speaker 1: have that matchup at times, you know. Is it Kamari

959
00:45:31,840 --> 00:45:35,719
Speaker 1: Lassiter on Booty? Is it Kamary Lassiter on Douglas? I'm

960
00:45:35,719 --> 00:45:39,279
Speaker 1: not sure, but I feel confident in what this team

961
00:45:39,360 --> 00:45:41,320
Speaker 1: can do. Have I been wrong before?

962
00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:44,080
Speaker 4: Yes? But the way this defense is playing, unless the

963
00:45:44,080 --> 00:45:47,120
Speaker 4: eight something happens to him between now and that game,

964
00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:48,720
Speaker 4: I can't see him playing any different.

965
00:45:50,280 --> 00:45:53,480
Speaker 3: Well, don't make don't give fooled here, Richard. New England's

966
00:45:53,520 --> 00:45:56,120
Speaker 3: also on a heater too, you know. I know their

967
00:45:56,200 --> 00:45:59,480
Speaker 3: level of competition hasn't been the best. They certainly have

968
00:45:59,520 --> 00:46:01,600
Speaker 3: had a very, very favorable schedule, but you know in

969
00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:03,799
Speaker 3: their matchup against the Bills, they took care of him

970
00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:05,799
Speaker 3: once this season. This is going to be a big

971
00:46:05,840 --> 00:46:07,520
Speaker 3: test for them though. It's going to be a big

972
00:46:07,560 --> 00:46:11,400
Speaker 3: test for Drake May, most specifically because he was starting

973
00:46:11,440 --> 00:46:14,959
Speaker 3: to enter into that MVP conversation a little bit towards

974
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:17,960
Speaker 3: the end of the season, you know, so everyone's starting

975
00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:21,040
Speaker 3: to give him that credit and has he truly earned

976
00:46:21,080 --> 00:46:23,719
Speaker 3: it yet? He's had a great season, But this is

977
00:46:23,760 --> 00:46:27,520
Speaker 3: when you truly earn that that recognition. You know, when

978
00:46:27,560 --> 00:46:30,920
Speaker 3: you go against a ferocious defense like the Houston Texans,

979
00:46:31,080 --> 00:46:32,920
Speaker 3: the only thing that can really beat him is a

980
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:36,680
Speaker 3: dynamite quarterback. Does Drake May have what it takes? We'll see.

981
00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:40,720
Speaker 3: I mean, New England, you talk about transitioning from Tom

982
00:46:40,760 --> 00:46:44,680
Speaker 3: Brady to a massive lull and then favorably getting Drake May.

983
00:46:45,040 --> 00:46:47,040
Speaker 3: It seems like they're going to be very comfortable at

984
00:46:47,080 --> 00:46:49,400
Speaker 3: that position for the next ten to fifteen years. But

985
00:46:49,440 --> 00:46:50,920
Speaker 3: he's going to have to win a big game like

986
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:53,360
Speaker 3: this to put the rest of the NFL on notice

987
00:46:53,400 --> 00:46:55,799
Speaker 3: that he's here and he's there to stay. He's going

988
00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:58,680
Speaker 3: to be in that conversation with Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson,

989
00:46:58,760 --> 00:47:02,840
Speaker 3: Joe Burrow, Patrick Homes, etc. To be in that conversation,

990
00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:04,600
Speaker 3: you've got to knock off a team in a defense

991
00:47:04,640 --> 00:47:07,720
Speaker 3: like the Houston Texans on the other side of the ball. Houston,

992
00:47:08,480 --> 00:47:11,080
Speaker 3: you know, we've talked enough about their defense, We've sung

993
00:47:11,120 --> 00:47:13,800
Speaker 3: their praises. Pressure is gonna be and eyes are gonna

994
00:47:13,800 --> 00:47:16,760
Speaker 3: be on CJ. Stroud because, let's be frank, he almost

995
00:47:16,760 --> 00:47:20,279
Speaker 3: blew that game last last this past weekend. I mean,

996
00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:23,560
Speaker 3: fumbling the ball five times, losing it twice, you know,

997
00:47:23,640 --> 00:47:26,560
Speaker 3: throwing an interception. Like You've got one of the best,

998
00:47:26,560 --> 00:47:28,640
Speaker 3: if not the best defense in the NFL and they're

999
00:47:28,680 --> 00:47:30,800
Speaker 3: going to keep you in games. But if you really

1000
00:47:30,840 --> 00:47:33,880
Speaker 3: want to blow the doors off the teams, CJ. Stroud

1001
00:47:33,920 --> 00:47:36,000
Speaker 3: is going to have to be much like he was

1002
00:47:36,080 --> 00:47:39,560
Speaker 3: his rookie year, I know. And that's that brings another question,

1003
00:47:39,800 --> 00:47:43,120
Speaker 3: what's the status and Nico Collins. These questions are gonna

1004
00:47:43,120 --> 00:47:46,280
Speaker 3: present themselves throughout the weeks. For the Houston Texans. Christian

1005
00:47:46,360 --> 00:47:49,279
Speaker 3: Kirk had an amazing game last game, but I don't

1006
00:47:49,320 --> 00:47:52,400
Speaker 3: know how reliable that can be going forward. Woody Marks

1007
00:47:52,680 --> 00:47:55,319
Speaker 3: would rush for one hundred yards. I don't know if

1008
00:47:55,360 --> 00:47:57,840
Speaker 3: they're gonna be able to replicate that against again again

1009
00:47:57,880 --> 00:48:01,040
Speaker 3: against the New England Patriots. There's so many storylines with

1010
00:48:01,120 --> 00:48:03,800
Speaker 3: this game. And I know you love the Houston Texans,

1011
00:48:04,040 --> 00:48:07,279
Speaker 3: but be cautious. New England Jillette Stadium is gonna be

1012
00:48:07,320 --> 00:48:09,560
Speaker 3: on fire as well, and I know this fan base

1013
00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:10,480
Speaker 3: is gonna be rowdy.

1014
00:48:10,800 --> 00:48:11,120
Speaker 4: Richard.

1015
00:48:12,080 --> 00:48:13,840
Speaker 3: I don't want to call it an upset, but I

1016
00:48:13,880 --> 00:48:16,560
Speaker 3: feel like I gotta call it an upset because you're

1017
00:48:16,560 --> 00:48:17,880
Speaker 3: so high in the Houston Texans.

1018
00:48:18,200 --> 00:48:20,080
Speaker 2: I think the Pats are gonna take care of business.

1019
00:48:20,080 --> 00:48:20,399
Speaker 4: I liked.

1020
00:48:20,480 --> 00:48:21,719
Speaker 2: I think it's Drake May's time.

1021
00:48:21,880 --> 00:48:24,600
Speaker 1: Like Drake May, and I love everything He's become an

1022
00:48:24,719 --> 00:48:28,120
Speaker 1: MVP candidate in this this season, and and like you said,

1023
00:48:28,160 --> 00:48:31,600
Speaker 1: he wins this game. He's definitely in the conversation with

1024
00:48:31,600 --> 00:48:34,759
Speaker 1: with with the top five quarterbacks in the National Football League,

1025
00:48:34,760 --> 00:48:36,600
Speaker 1: and some guys are starting to move down because of

1026
00:48:36,640 --> 00:48:39,879
Speaker 1: their performance and lack of availability this year, but we'll

1027
00:48:39,880 --> 00:48:45,520
Speaker 1: talk about that in the offseason. But again, I trust

1028
00:48:45,520 --> 00:48:47,920
Speaker 1: great defense and not to say that that New England

1029
00:48:47,960 --> 00:48:52,399
Speaker 1: doesn't have a great aggressive style defense. The conversation out

1030
00:48:52,440 --> 00:48:54,960
Speaker 1: of New England from the Chargers player players where they

1031
00:48:54,960 --> 00:48:58,319
Speaker 1: couldn't understand, couldn't figure out what defense they were playing, Well,

1032
00:48:58,360 --> 00:49:01,879
Speaker 1: guess what, You're gonna know exactly what Houston's playing. You're

1033
00:49:01,920 --> 00:49:04,160
Speaker 1: gonna know where people are gonna be lined up, You're

1034
00:49:04,200 --> 00:49:07,200
Speaker 1: gonna know what covers they're in, and then you're gonna

1035
00:49:07,200 --> 00:49:09,600
Speaker 1: get hit in the face. And so that's the part

1036
00:49:09,600 --> 00:49:11,640
Speaker 1: that I love when I because I played on a

1037
00:49:11,680 --> 00:49:15,759
Speaker 1: defense like that, where hey, you know what we're doing,

1038
00:49:16,760 --> 00:49:18,799
Speaker 1: you know where our guys are gonna be, you know

1039
00:49:18,920 --> 00:49:21,600
Speaker 1: how we're gonna line up, and you cannot beat us.

1040
00:49:21,719 --> 00:49:24,120
Speaker 1: We will win this game. We will out physical you

1041
00:49:24,400 --> 00:49:26,880
Speaker 1: to the point that you fold. We know how you're

1042
00:49:26,920 --> 00:49:29,840
Speaker 1: gonna attack this defense, because there's only certain ways you

1043
00:49:29,880 --> 00:49:33,680
Speaker 1: can attack this defense. It's it's two or three, four, five,

1044
00:49:34,040 --> 00:49:36,920
Speaker 1: six plays in the past game like that you can attack,

1045
00:49:36,960 --> 00:49:40,000
Speaker 1: truly attack different levels of this defense. We'll usually recognize

1046
00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:42,000
Speaker 1: them pretty quick and you better get that ball into

1047
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:44,560
Speaker 1: those windows really quickly. And in the run game, there's

1048
00:49:44,600 --> 00:49:47,320
Speaker 1: only so many ways you can attack a totally gap

1049
00:49:47,400 --> 00:49:50,120
Speaker 1: sound team. And if you're getting around and you're getting

1050
00:49:50,120 --> 00:49:52,640
Speaker 1: through these gaps and we're adjusting and we're making plays,

1051
00:49:52,719 --> 00:49:56,720
Speaker 1: it's tough to do. Sometimes when you keep it simple,

1052
00:49:56,800 --> 00:49:59,880
Speaker 1: you're allowed to play fast and you're able to really

1053
00:50:00,239 --> 00:50:01,920
Speaker 1: be as aggressive as you want to be. And I

1054
00:50:01,960 --> 00:50:05,320
Speaker 1: think in the playoffs this style benefits the Houston Texans

1055
00:50:05,360 --> 00:50:09,200
Speaker 1: because the rest aren't aren't calling every tickie tech penalty fans,

1056
00:50:09,200 --> 00:50:12,000
Speaker 1: you can get upset and screen and pout all you want.

1057
00:50:12,239 --> 00:50:15,960
Speaker 1: Nobody will remember that. Nobody will remember you being upset. Oh,

1058
00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:17,840
Speaker 1: I thought that was a holding. That was br that

1059
00:50:17,920 --> 00:50:20,400
Speaker 1: was a ground that we don't care. Is the playoffs

1060
00:50:20,400 --> 00:50:22,320
Speaker 1: in the National Football League. The game is meant to

1061
00:50:22,360 --> 00:50:25,560
Speaker 1: be decided on the football field, not with flags and whistles.

1062
00:50:25,760 --> 00:50:28,000
Speaker 1: So that's the way these games are going to be determined.

1063
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:29,640
Speaker 1: And if the game is played like that, I know

1064
00:50:29,680 --> 00:50:32,239
Speaker 1: the Houston Texans are going to be incredibly prepared. I

1065
00:50:32,400 --> 00:50:36,839
Speaker 1: just if the Patriots win, they have earned it and

1066
00:50:37,080 --> 00:50:39,200
Speaker 1: they become the favorite to win it all. And it'd

1067
00:50:39,239 --> 00:50:41,520
Speaker 1: be hard not to say it, but I don't think

1068
00:50:41,520 --> 00:50:42,319
Speaker 1: they get through this thing.

1069
00:50:44,920 --> 00:50:45,240
Speaker 2: Richard.

1070
00:50:45,239 --> 00:50:47,960
Speaker 3: I hate to bring up bad memories, but let me

1071
00:50:48,040 --> 00:50:50,960
Speaker 3: just talk to you a bit. Before you guys ultimately

1072
00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:53,320
Speaker 3: won the Super Bowl, you got knocked out by Atlanta

1073
00:50:53,360 --> 00:50:56,160
Speaker 3: Falcons right the year prior, is that right you went

1074
00:50:56,239 --> 00:50:59,640
Speaker 3: on the road to Atlanta. Do you think that possibly

1075
00:51:00,120 --> 00:51:03,160
Speaker 3: you know that this defense, this secondary is a little

1076
00:51:03,160 --> 00:51:05,719
Speaker 3: too young. Maybe they're they're a year I had a

1077
00:51:05,800 --> 00:51:08,840
Speaker 3: schedule than they were. And then my question really becomes

1078
00:51:08,840 --> 00:51:11,719
Speaker 3: to you is at what point did you guys realize

1079
00:51:11,920 --> 00:51:14,440
Speaker 3: your defense was great, you know, because you had to

1080
00:51:14,440 --> 00:51:16,160
Speaker 3: go through those road bumps you had to go.

1081
00:51:16,440 --> 00:51:19,280
Speaker 1: You lost that game because Chris Clemens got injured against

1082
00:51:19,280 --> 00:51:24,160
Speaker 1: the against the Washington Redskins, and so Bruce Irvin wasn't

1083
00:51:24,440 --> 00:51:27,520
Speaker 1: wasn't didn't have the weight to play the end, and

1084
00:51:27,560 --> 00:51:29,279
Speaker 1: they ran the ball and they had some success and

1085
00:51:29,320 --> 00:51:32,000
Speaker 1: then we we've made some mistakes. But this is an

1086
00:51:32,280 --> 00:51:37,440
Speaker 1: entirely different defense by all metrics, Like they're his historic

1087
00:51:37,520 --> 00:51:39,319
Speaker 1: good with how they played at the last game, they

1088
00:51:39,440 --> 00:51:42,399
Speaker 1: they were playing at a historic playoff level with how

1089
00:51:42,440 --> 00:51:44,680
Speaker 1: good they were against Pittsburgh, and they don't even need

1090
00:51:44,719 --> 00:51:47,839
Speaker 1: to play at that historic level. That was historically good.

1091
00:51:48,120 --> 00:51:49,880
Speaker 1: They just need to play at the level they've played

1092
00:51:49,880 --> 00:51:52,200
Speaker 1: all season and that will give them the chance to

1093
00:51:52,239 --> 00:51:55,200
Speaker 1: win this. Sometimes you hit people in the face over

1094
00:51:55,280 --> 00:51:58,200
Speaker 1: and over and over, and I think Vrabel will have

1095
00:51:58,239 --> 00:51:59,799
Speaker 1: a lot of respect for what he sees from this

1096
00:51:59,840 --> 00:52:01,839
Speaker 1: Hue some Texan defense. What do you sees on tape?

1097
00:52:01,840 --> 00:52:03,399
Speaker 1: And that's what you're gonna hear throughout the week.

1098
00:52:05,400 --> 00:52:07,280
Speaker 2: Give me a final score projection.

1099
00:52:06,960 --> 00:52:11,680
Speaker 4: Here, final score playoff grinding.

1100
00:52:11,840 --> 00:52:15,239
Speaker 3: I want to see how dominant this defense is truly gonna.

1101
00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:21,640
Speaker 1: Beat grindee, Grindee. Maybe a turnover here stopping the red

1102
00:52:23,640 --> 00:52:24,960
Speaker 1: seventeen to nine Houston.

1103
00:52:26,760 --> 00:52:29,640

Speaker 1: It's San Francisco forty nine Ers and Seattle Seahawks fan.

1118
00:53:15,520 --> 00:53:18,040
Speaker 1: We're looking for me to say your team is gonna

1119
00:53:18,040 --> 00:53:21,560
Speaker 1: win it. Obviously I have no idea, and I want

1120
00:53:21,560 --> 00:53:23,040
Speaker 1: to be able to call it if that. If there

1121
00:53:23,080 --> 00:53:25,600
Speaker 1: look to be a clear cut advantage for one of

1122
00:53:25,600 --> 00:53:27,799
Speaker 1: these teams, I would surely say it. But I know

1123
00:53:27,840 --> 00:53:29,759
Speaker 1: how much of a doll fight this game is gonna be.

1124
00:53:29,840 --> 00:53:32,040
Speaker 1: I know how much of a dogfight. That last time

1125
00:53:32,080 --> 00:53:35,200
Speaker 1: these two teams played in a playoff game. I was there,

1126
00:53:35,239 --> 00:53:37,279
Speaker 1: and guess what it came down to say it with

1127
00:53:37,320 --> 00:53:40,080
Speaker 1: me Mitchell the last drive of the game. In that

1128
00:53:40,160 --> 00:53:43,200
Speaker 1: last drive of the game, Colin Kaepernick decided to try

1129
00:53:43,280 --> 00:53:45,879
Speaker 1: me with a sorry receiver like Craftree and everybody else

1130
00:53:45,920 --> 00:53:48,800
Speaker 1: knows the rest. So when I say this, I speak

1131
00:53:48,840 --> 00:53:51,960
Speaker 1: from the ultimate experience. It's gonna come down to the wire.

1132
00:53:52,960 --> 00:53:57,239
Speaker 1: Very few meaningful games for these two teams this late

1133
00:53:57,239 --> 00:53:59,720
Speaker 1: in the season, haven't come down to that. I remember

1134
00:53:59,840 --> 00:54:03,560
Speaker 1: the game for the number one seed when when Dre

1135
00:54:03,680 --> 00:54:06,320
Speaker 1: Greenlaw made that tackle again came down to the last

1136
00:54:06,400 --> 00:54:10,200
Speaker 1: drive of the game. That's how it happens, folks. I'm sorry.

1137
00:54:10,480 --> 00:54:13,680
Speaker 4: Don't get comfortable with the either side throughout the game.

1138
00:54:13,800 --> 00:54:14,160
Speaker 4: Do never.

1139
00:54:14,360 --> 00:54:16,799
Speaker 1: Don't get too comfortable. It's gonna come down to the end.

1140
00:54:17,120 --> 00:54:20,520
Speaker 1: So keep your popcorn goal, keep your seat heaters, and

1141
00:54:20,800 --> 00:54:21,719
Speaker 1: get your anxiety.

1142
00:54:21,760 --> 00:54:22,319
Speaker 4: Man. It's because
